Jeremy and Jimmy unpack the myth of “work travel as a perk” — and why treating it like a vacation or college party could wreck your reputation. From awkward encounters to career-ending conference behavior, this episode is a survival guide for staying professional when the company sends you out. Plus, we share real stories of travel gone wrong and offer tips for not becoming the cautionary tale. (Rerelease)

One day. One coworker. No consequences.

In this episode, we imagine a dystopian workplace tradition: The Purge — a sanctioned annual event where every employee gets to verbally (or emotionally) annihilate one coworker without HR interference. Think performance review meets revenge fantasy. Q3 performance is now actionable!

The middle of Q4 is on the horizon.. so let the End of year corporate dumb fuckery begin! Jeremy and Jimmy dive headfirst into the annual avalanche of End-of-Year Corporate Nonsense.

We spotlight the odd job of Pet Food Taster (yes, they actually eat it), and we officially launch The Employee Feedback Line at 914-357-4178 — your new outlet for workplace rants, boss meltdowns, and holiday party trauma. Call in, scream into the void, and maybe get featured in a future episode.
