2 min
They look up who owns Boston Market and discuss the private equity executives (Rohan Group, Jignesh Pandya) responsible for shutting it down, then riff on an old neurogastronomy restaurant scam and Indian call center workers.
- Boston Market is owned by hedge fund and private equity company Rohan Group, run by Jag Pandia
- Jag Pandia took over Boston Market promising to make it great for everybody, then immediately started shutting it down
- Tim compares Pandia to S. Chatwal, an Indian hotelier who opened a neurogastronomy restaurant called Romera in 2011 that was a complete scam and lasted only months
- Call center workers in Bangalore probably have decent middle-class lives, unlike telemarketing operations in America
- Tim references the HBO documentary The Telemarketers about scammers raising money for police by calling old people and getting donations
