Bagels made the jump to America with a massive Polish-Jewish immigration in the 1800s and while they were hugely popular in New York City...they didn't make their way to the national scale until the mid 20th-century where automation and bread slicing made mass manufacturing much more efficient. bagels can be a bit awkward to slice. The best way is to lay the bagel flat and slice it horizontally with your dominant hand while holding it in place with your opposite hand. Keep your fingers and thumb out of the way.

The Migs Report. Today is National Bagel Day, Chocolate Day, and Pizza Day!

Welcome to January 15th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate causing a stir and the wise guys of bagel making.  On this day in 1797, John Hetherington—a London hat maker—stepped out into the street wearing his latest creation. A top hat. According to reports, Mr. Hetherington “appeared on the public highway wearing upon his head what he called a silk hat (which was of a shiny lustre and calculated to frighten timid people)”… Officers of the Crown stated that several women fainted at the unusual sight, while children screamed, dogs yelped and a boy was thrown down by the crowd…and had his right arm broken.” Mr. Hetherington was brought up on charges of inciting a riot and fined 500 Pounds. On National Hat Day, put on your favorite hat and try not to cause a stir.  The bagel makers of New York in the early 1900s were nothing to mess with. Referred to as the bagel mafia, these men conducted business in Yiddish to keep their trade secrets a secret. Bagel making was hard labor and the conditions of most shops were actually quite appalling, but in the 1930s Bagel Bakers Local 338 Union changed everything. These elite bakers tested their benchmen for 6 months until they could roll 832 bagels per hour. And, when workers went on strike in the 1950s, all but 2 bagel bakeries in Manhattan had to close, leading to what was called a Bagel Famine. Today bagels can be found almost anywhere thanks to the Lender family who automated the process, but on National Bagel Day, we celebrate the tough guys who made these chewy wonders part of the American Dream.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!  Learn more about your ad choices.

National Bagel Day is this Sunday, and we've got CEO and founder of Bagelfest Sam Silverman here to talk all things bagels and preview the first-ever Bagelfest Winter Games. We will also take your calls.

Monty & Jake are talking Utah Jazz Basketball! Is Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell good, or great. Shaq recently said Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has to be better, and that Donovan Mitchell is simply not good enough, is Shaq correct? Sources say the New York Knicks do not "value Donovan Mitchell at 6 picks" ...but should they? The PAC 12 continues to negotiate with ESPN and FOX for a new TV, but what is the value of a new TV rights deal for the PAC 12? Can the PAC 12 keep their league together once USC and UCLA escape to the B1G 10 if PAC 12 members are only taking in $30 Million per school, per season? Is the PAC 12 still viable at less than $75 Million per season? Can ESPN save the PAC 12 with a TV and streaming package that includes the ESPN App? Is the BIG 12 in a better position than the PAC 12 or can the BIG 12 add to it's membership and as a result add to it's TV revenue? There is a stunning clause in Kyler Murray's new deal with the Arizona Cardinals! Kyler Murray, per his new deal, is required to spend 4 hours of “independent study” and that study time must be exclusive to football content. Is this a bad look for Kyler Murray? Kyler Murray has previously said he does not believe in watching large amounts of film because he has natural ability to see things as they happen on the field . The NFL is going all in on streaming, with NFL+, where viewers will be able to see all out of market games on their cell phones via a new streaming service that would cost fans $4.99 a month...are you willing to pay that price to see NFL games on your mobile device? Another day, another outlandish story about Chipotle paying customers to eat their food, this time giving away $200,000 in crypto currency to eat their guac. "Buy the dip" is what they are calling their promotion for National Avocado Day on July 31st! Are you buying the dip? Today is also National Bagelfest Day, which is different than National Bagel Day...so are you team Bagel or team bread/toast?

The show spread the news of Walmart's new partnership with Einstein Bros. Bagels, which happened to fall in the same week as National Bagel Day. To honor this holiday, Bo and the producers shared their favorite bagel flavors. Associates from all over called into the show with shoutouts, beginning with our Associate Caller of the Day, Chris at Club 6350 in Sherman, Texas, who called to give a shoutout to everyone at the club. We also had Dwayne from Store 4140 in Miami, Florida, who called to give a shoutout to all the associates at Walmart stores. Our Milestone Minute anniversaries were anything but plain. Millie from Store 4046 in Garland, Texas, celebrated 30 years with the company. Monika at Store 5754 in Williamsburg, Virginia, celebrated 25 years, and Jennifer from Store 5056 in Prairieville, Louisiana, celebrated 20 years. Talk about ba-goals! Bo's Impossible Question of the Day asked: Surprisingly, 3% of Americans don't like THIS food. What is THIS? Don't noodle on it too long, and tune in to find out!

I'll take a good old schmear of cream cheese on this any day of the week, carb counting be damned.

Welcome to January 15th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate causing a stir and carbs with a checkered past.  It's said that on this day in 1797, John Hetherington—a London hat maker—stepped out into the street wearing his latest creation. A top hat. And to say it made an impression is an understatement. According to reports, Mr. Hetherington “appeared on the public highway wearing upon his head what he called a silk hat (which was of a shiny lustre and calculated to frighten timid people)”… Officers of the Crown stated that several women fainted at the unusual sight, while children screamed, dogs yelped and a boy was thrown down by the crowd…and had his right arm broken.” Mr. Hetherington was brought up on charges of inciting a riot and fined 500 Pounds. On National Hat Day, put on your favorite hat and step out in something that makes an impression on the folks around you.  The recipe for making bagels was once a closely guarded secret. Jewish immigrants in New York City had brought this baked good to America in the early 1900s. They formed a union to keep their tradition to themselves and to keep jobs within their community. Only the sons of members were offered membership, and meetings were conducted only in Yiddish. As crazy as it may sound today, this bagel union was extremely powerful. But they only made bagels, you're thinking. Well, when workers went on strike in the 1950s, all but 2 bagel bakeries in Manhattan had to close, leading to what was called a Bagel Famine. And the sales of lox dropped by over 50%. On National Bagel Day, we celebrate our love for chewy, delicious bagels and the fact that you can find them almost anywhere today.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!  Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of National Podcast Day, we come to you again from WI- truly the center of America's breadbasket, but sadly not its bagel heartland. Here, people of course consume bagels but generally without the passion or emphasis on authenticity that defines true bagel lovers. This material and cultural vacuum has also created a population wandering around with its own pronunciation of the "b-word," which you will come to thoroughly understand throughout this episode, celebrating National Bagel Day. Hope we inspire you to support your local bagel place and/or make your own bagels, as we did TWICE for this episode. Thanks to this week's eager contributors: Emily, Kaelie, Ellen, Alfred, Rachel, Janet, Jenna, Eddie, Lance, Kristie, and Taylor. Thanks also to this week's sponsor, Right Way Bagels (formerly Anything Goes Bagels).

Discover How to make your customers feel Important should be number one on top of your list. We want to give a wow factor to our customers and basically the wow factor is doing what other won't But really boils down to doing what others don't. We all want to build ultimately a business with sustainable growth, sustainable profit. Treat our customers exponentially super good. So how do we do that? First of all, we want to build ultimately a business with sustainable growth, sustainable profit. So, in order to do that the best way to do business. And yes, we do need customers and acquire new customers all the time but mainly we need to treat our customers exponentially super good. I like to call it the WOW factor and basically the wow factor is doing what others won't. What others won't. But really boils down to doing what others don't. So, let's just go through a list of some of the things that you can do to make your customer feel important because when your customer feels important when my customer feels important then guess what. Not only do they want to continue to do business with me, but they let others know more often about you and the services you provide. Wowing your customer is really simple in today's market. It's very simple.  We want to go into the expediential growth stuff the stuff that really sets you apart. Some of the simple things are just a handwritten thank you. Now a handwritten thank you note to your customer. I really appreciate you thank you for doing business with us. Same thing for a referral. Oh, my goodness it just it just sends them over the top when they get a handwritten thank you note. Thank you so much for referring us. How about just answering the phone. These are simple things returning phone calls. And never letting that customer drop off. And so, if you get a customer that you call them back and they don't answer, or you had to leave a voicemail just let them know say listen I promised that I would get in touch with you. And I'm not going to stop until I do. So, therefore, that kept you off the hook of actually saying or feeling like I'm really badgering that person but you're not badgering. Because they asked you they asked you to get in touch with them. How about sending them a gift a token of appreciation for when you finish up that job or even sometimes Let's let's start with that one first. A gift of appreciation a thank you thank you card with a gift. Could be brownies. It could be a cookie. It could be a little gift something you put in the mail to them. Just an appreciation of something that you found that they liked or noticed that they liked or had collected at the house. And I've even done it for people who have dogs. I also send the dog a gift that is just unheard of because people don't think about that. Listen you're saying why that cost $ 15.00 max 15 you can do it for 15 dollars. Just send a thank you card and brownies for 15 dollars or thank you card and a small gift for fifteen dollars or less. Why wouldn't you do that? You're saying wow why would I do that. Oh man are you kidding me. This is just crazy I can't. You want to thank them you want them to feel important. But guess what. You don't have to take 15 dollars out of your profit figure it into the price. Are you kidding me just this is a wow factor? It will. It will make your customer feel so appreciated. Because no one else does it. You want to rise to the top. You want to bring yourself up to the top of the pile of contractors that you've got your hand raising above all the rest. You want to do multiple touches a year. So how do I do this sequence? There are certain ways you can do. You can use send out cards. You can use Send Jim or Radius Bomb. I don't know if any you guys have the herd of Send Jim but if you go down to the bottom of the page. One of our sponsors is Sendjim. You can click on the link there it'll take you over to a video. And yes, it is an affiliate link. We do get paid for it for sending you over but it's the same price as you would pay if you went to direct. However, you do it just do it. Just go there. Add the sequences to your touch points throughout the year. Newsletter's. Oh man, I am a big fan of newsletters to send out newsletters on a monthly basis. And if you're going to say why would I spend money on a newsletter. I'm going to tell you why. My statistics show for every dollar I spend on sending out a newsletter. I get 21$ and 67 cents or 76 cents something like that back in return. Throughout the course of the year, you don't get too much of a return like that in many other areas. Why. do it Because the customer feels important. You're keeping in touch with them you're always on the top of their mind. This is actually a wow factor if done correctly. So, go in the show notes, go to the page, go to free stuff. You can download a link that will give you an example of the newsletter that I send out for my painting business and it's free. I mean just get an idea of what to send out. Now if you want to do an e-mail that's great. But also remember that your e-mail is only going to be eight to 10% open rate with a legitimate and I mean they're all legitimate. But with a mail newsletter, the way that I send it out everyone gets a 100% open rate when it arrives. They look at it at least they remember you. You're on top of mine and they're going to call you and say Oh man I've been thinking about Dave. They were thinking about Bob let me give him a call. And listen it is awesome the way that they respond. So how do you do this? You got to get their data. You've got to get the e-mail you got to get your mailing address you got to get some time their anniversary. Listen here's a thing that some restaurants do and you could actually implement this into your system is they send out half a birthday card. So, they know when their birthday is. So, they send out a half a birthday card to say hey it's half a year to your birthday have a birthday card. Here's a certificate or a coupon for a free drink or an appetizer with your dinner. Come in and visit us and enjoy your half birthday marked on us. So, think about what you could do with your own your own business your own contracting business. You could do an anniversary card. Oh, this not if you knew what their anniversary was when they got married but how about the anniversary day of the work you did. So, this is a one-year anniversary. We just want to thank you for doing business with us and put in there something that you might want to a new product, new service that you're selling or maybe you did some work last year that needs to be cleaned up may be pressure cleaning. Well you know we did your driveway and house last year it's time to freshen that up to kill the mildew and the algae. The same thing with a painting you could put together something for an interior touch up, a walk-through discount. a So, these are just some things you know you can do that with. You need. Like I said you need to get to thank you. There is a, go on the Internet you can find out. Pull up weird holidays and it'll give you a calendar of certain things that are happening weird like. So, you want to get weird and have fun with the weird holidays. OK so here's a couple I just pulled up and here's some thoughts as they go through January 4th is National Spaghetti Day. What if you boxed up a pound of spaghetti and you send it overnight mail or something like that and said Hey It’s National Spaghetti Day. It January 4th just wanted to celebrate that with you.  Here's some thoughts. Oh, here’s January 15th Blue Monday, however you want to do that. January 13th National Pie Day. February 9th is National Bagel Day. Here’s one, February 5th World Nutella a day. So, you see where I'm going with this you could have so much fun by doing stuff. One time I had buttons made up according to holidays. You know some buttons made up I had. It's not my fault day. Sent him out to a bunch of customers for fun. So, there's so much you could do just to make them feel important. What makes some feel important that you are paying attention to them. That's what makes them feel important. So how are what are some of the ways you can come up with a zillion ways to make them feel important? It's always but it's always making you at the top of their mind. So, when someone thinks about her they're talking about having the service that you do when they hear that they go oh here's Bob you need to give him a call. Here's his number. And you know so you might. Oh, I was thinking about this here's the thing you could send them your contact information in the form of attacks as say keep this on hand and just you know when you think about us and you're in a conversation you might want to just send this over to a friend. Your whole contact information so good it's there. So, I know that this is going to make if you do this, this will put you so far ahead of your competition, that you don't have to worry about anybody stealing your customers because they'll be yours for life. So, let's take it a little bit further just a little bit further depending on the business you're in and the contracting that you do so let's say that you're a remodel contractor. Couldn't you take pictures of all the work you did to do before and after picture put it in a postcard and say “Hey can I send these to your friends that they know that you just updated your house and that and you might have their real estate agent in there and fun stuff like that.” So that's another one. Here's another one so that I that I know that some people do. And it is a killer strategy. I mean a real killer strategy. Depending again the contracting business you do if you're remodeler you do kitchens and bathrooms but mostly kitchens. This could be done with an outdoor barbecue or something like that is do you know the before or after picture or do the pictures say we just and celebrate the picture had this huge 6 by 6 by 9 inches. I think the postcard made because you can actually make those up and you can send them out for 49 cents. They don't go out Lark's mail and send them out to their friends inviting them to a dinner party to the new kitchen the new outdoor grill. It's that's really. How do I do this? Why would I do this? Why would I spend the money? You know you just add that to the price figure. Five hundred bucks and you want to really so I here's one that's just at 500 dollars for the party. You tell them Listen we'd like to throw help you throw up. We would like to throw a party for you when this is all finished. And of course, now you're going to be on your best behavior all the way through this deal. You're going to have to keep in touch with them you have to keep contact when they going to be better than anybody else, so they will allow you to do this. I had one contractor that I was talking with and he was doing a kitchen remodel in a house that I had just painted and we had the same coach, same business coach and he goes ha I'm doing you know the remodel for this customer and I'm running into a small challenge because she runs her business out of her house and she has the back bedroom which I knew that and I said So what's going to make you different than every other contractor that comes in. He goes I what do you mean. I go well here's the deal. They're really nice people. They want quality more than price. I know that because I've dealt with them.

On this date in 1942, year-round Daylight Saving Time was reinstated in the United States during World War II. Here are some things you may not have known about Daylight saving time. It was not originally proposed by Benjamin Franklin. Despite his enthusiasm for working in the early morning, most of the world did not keep precise schedules in his day. The rise of railroads and the telegraph required standardizing the time, so trains could stay on schedule, and most importantly, not collide with each other. Before the standardization of time, each city and its vicinity had its own timezone, usually based local solar noon, the time when the sun was at its highest in the sky. Daylight saving time was first proposed in 1895 by New Zealander George Hudson, who was an amateur entomologist who wanted more sunlight later in the day to catch insects. Independently, in 1905 William Willett proposed a similar plan to help him be able to finish his round of golf before dark. The first Daylight Saving bill was introduced in Parliament in 1908, but nothing came of it. In 1916, Germany and Austria began using daylight time to help conserve coal during World War I. Most countries of the world soon followed suit. Following World War I, Daylight Saving Time was repealed despite the veto of President Woodrow Wilson. Until World War II, there was no national law in the U.S. regarding Daylight Savings.  Beginning on February 9, 1942, and lasting until September 30, 1945, the United States reinstated Daylight Time year round, calling it War Time. At the time the thinking was that residential lighting was a primary use of electricity. So, if the sun was still shining at a nominally later hour, less energy would be used by lights. It is now estimated that there is little to negative energy savings caused by Daylight Time. Among those who benefit from Daylight Time are retailers and golf courses. In 1984, it was estimated that 7-Eleven stores would make an additional $30 million a year with a seven-week extension of Daylight Time. In 1999, a study estimated that Daylight Time increased leisure spending in the European Union by about 3 percent. Among those who are generally against Daylight time are farmers, parents and those whose hours are set by the sun. Television networks, drive-in and indoor movie theaters are also negatively affected by the plethora of options that a later sunset provides. Daylight Time shifts are associated with increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, and the effects on sleep schedules can last for several weeks. In 1967, the United States reinstated Daylight Time, although individual states were allowed to exempt themselves. Arizona and Michigan were the first to do so. In 1974, the U.S. instituted year-round Daylight Time as a response to the oil embargo, however the experiment was cut short after complaints arose about children leaving for school in the dark. In 2005, the current second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November schedule was adopted. The states and territories that don’t observe Daylight Time are Arizona, Hawaii, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our question: What is the only state with territory in the Mountain Time Zone that also has a Pacific Ocean coastline? Today is unofficially Chocolate Day, National Bagel Day, and National Toothache Day. It’s the birthday of musician Carole King, who is 75; author Alice Walker, who is 73; and actor Tom Hiddleston, who is 36. Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 1975, the top song in the U.S. was “You’re No Good” by Linda Ronstadt. The No. 1 movie was “The Towering Inferno,” while the novel “Something Happened” by Joseph Heller topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.  Weekly question: What country did the world’s longest-reigning monarch rule over?
