Service From Hell

This week's guest is comedian, writer, and actor Shain Brenden. We FINALLY got our wish - a person who worked in fast food who can talk about the boredom!!

Shain has a featured set on the wildly popular Don’t Tell Comedy stand-up series and can be heard regularly on Netflix is a Joke radio on Sirius XM. Find him on everything @shainbrenden!

But first! Rate! Review! Find us! Patreon! We need it!

Kate is tired of terrible customer service. She's also HAD IT with MALE customer service agents handling her like she's hysterical when they f*cked the job. She wants to become the She HULK!

If you're not done with Kate screaming, we'd appreciate it if you joined our Patreon and followed us on IG. Also, have you reviewed SFH yet? It helps us so much and we'd appreciate it a lot!

"Now, I won't clock in to be objectified." ~ Liz

Comic and producer @lizzagone chats with us this week about working those CRAZY hours when we want to pay rent as artists and why retail has a maximum 2 day job commitment from her (which, we deeply relate to). She also runs one of the scariest and best open mics in Los Angeles at Hoopla Comedy, so check her out!

Also, have you considered joining us over on Patreon? We would LOVE your support. Also, please find us on IG because we're bad at social media and corporate idiots care about this sh*t!

*Apologies for the various sound issues with this episode* 

Actor, writer, director, and host Jeff Locker joins us again this week to get into the nitty gritty of customer service and why the identity crisis of survival jobs can be a knife in the gut when people only see you that one way. Find him on all of the socials @jefflocker and see what he's up to!

"It's never not been lonely." ~ Jeff

Actor, writer, director, and host Jeff Locker joins us this week and next to be just so deeply honest and delightful. Jeff came from humble beginnings and carved his way into an Ivy League University, then followed that up by becoming famous in another country. He's known Kate for a long time and it was so delightful to speak with him.

"Is everyone trying me because they know I have a podcast and I'm gonna rant about this insanity?" ~ Kate

Would you believe that Kate is mad this week? It's WILDLY outside of the bounds of all of our normal bonus episodes, so prepare for yelling (which you never have to do). Kate had mail stolen and Simone Biles is a freak of nature. That's just that. This week, we discuss these things because NO ONE CARES about mail theft. But, don't worry, Kate and Joni do!

*TW - ED recovery discussed at length* This is part 2 of 2 this week with actor, writer, producer, and generally amazing human Amie Enriquez. Amie joins us this week to discuss some REALLY challenging topics and to provide hope of us all to recover (we do get better). She beat the odds against one of the deadliest addictions in the world and is taking her recovery on tour with the BRILLIANT Lightweight Show. An award-winning one-woman-play that explores eating disorders, addiction, dysfunctional family dynamics, and recovery.

Kate's alone this week, micro-dosing rage after a trip across the country. Customer Service interactions are a rage-filled experience when no one is making what they are worth. Also, 24 Hour Fitness Gym Contracts are a SCAM! Kate screams about all of it because it is necessary to scream. 

You can find us on Patreon and IG, so please do because literally typing this sentence is costing Kate money.
