Service From Hell

 ~ Quarantine Sound Quality - Punkie joins us via FaceTime and it sounds like it. ~

This week, @punkiejohnson and @leigh.l.q join us yet again to discuss the intensity with which anxiety and depression are lurking. We get into how much we are looking forward to freedom and how the mental illness of others is piling onto our already teetering collective anxieties. 

This episode is raw and honest about mental illness, so it won't be for everyone. 

Thank you all so much for listening! Follow us on socials - @servicefromhell 

**Quarantine Quality Warning - Sound issues abound. We did our best to edit them out - please be patient**

////Punkie Johnson, Leigh Lamson-Quay and, (introducing) Bianca Sia sit down to discuss their individual feelings on coworkers and Corona Conspiracy Theories, roommates vs. living alone, and NY Governor Andrew Cuomo's nipple rings. ////

Thank you all SO much for sharing this podcast with your friends, emailing us with questions, and continuing to listen while you're in quarantine. We know you have WAY too many podcast options right now, so any of your time you give us means so much. We appreciate y'all!!

**Please excuse our Quarantine Quality - LOTS of sound issues this week with Punkie on Facetime and an overly sensitive mic.**

Punkie Johnson and Leigh Lamson-Quay are back for our 4th Bonus Corona Episode discussing how close to the edge of insanity we all are as nearby LA restaurants begin to permanently close, but also the hidden blessings we've found in the Quarantine Hustle.  Find them on their socials – @punkiejohnson and @leigh.l.q . They’d love to hear from you.

If you have stories of your own, email us here at service from hell podcast at gmail dot com and someone from our team will contact you to let you know if we are going to read your story on air.

*This week's episode includes a quarantined guest, Punkie Johnson. The sound quality reflects her being on the podcast via Zoom, so please forgive us.*

This week, returning Corona Ride-Or-Dies Punkie Johnson and Leigh Lamson-Quay join us to discuss how week 3 of isolation is going for us both without work and in quarantine. We also discuss how to be creative during this time, prioritizing mental health, and how NOT writing jokes is the best decision for Punkie, even though she is a full-time comic. 

Stories of your own? Get at us via the socials or servicefromhellpodcast at gee male dot com.

Your favorite guests are back - Comic Punkie Johnson and Pasty Chef Leigh Lamson-Quay join us to discuss how week 2 of Quarantine is really taking its toll. And, Punkie is from New Orleans and lived through the trauma that was Hurricane Katrina in 2005. We discuss how that trauma is similar to Corona 2020, but don't worry - we laugh a lot. 

Have your own stories? Email us at servicefromhellpodcast at geemale dot com and let us know how you're holding up and any anecdotes you have from during this time. 

We love and appreciate all of the outreach you have given to us. It has been unreal. We are ok, but check back. Who knows :)?

BONUS EPISODE - Pastry Chef Leigh Lamson-Quay joins us this week to discuss how our lives upended (and our jobs just ended) during the classified pandemic known as COVID-19. We talk about its effect on our jobs, housing, city and lives while also trying to bat away fruit flies. ///

This episode is dedicated to the BRAVE AS F men and women working in hospitals, grocery stores, pharmacies, Targets, etc. You are being asked to perform customer service at a time when people's lives are literally on the line. We commend you and cannot imagine what you're going through at this time. The best we can do is socially distance and quarantine so we don't become another group you have to treat. Thank you. We love you guys.

Actor and Comic Erin Lampart joins us this week to discuss picking up rat shit and the joys of throwing rich young boys out of her bar. From Lancaster, PA, Erin has worked the MOST customer service jobs of any guest on our program thus far, so you can guess she has a few things to say.

*Updated note - for the shows she mentions she will be on in the future in LA, they are all currently cancelled due to the COVID-19. Follow Erin's socials for more shows when things are back to normal. 

*Also, find us on social media! ServiceFromHell on IG and [email protected] to get to us directly. We would love to hear from you!

This week we are talking to actor, producer, writer, and improviser Chandler Barbee. Hailing from Hartselle, AL, Chandler discusses why sharks are her spirit animal, and why she isn't scared of your Yelp review if you're disrespecting her Mama or making her wrap your bath bombs at Christmastime.

////// Get in touch with us directly by emailing [email protected] and tell us your own horror stories. If we are going to read your email, someone from our team will let you know which episode you can hear your tales! //////

Musician Dani King joins us this week to share how she went from serving beer in Nashville to serving melodies in L.A. Starting out with Horse Camp and ending with an Irish Pub by the beach, Dani is one of the lucky few on her way out of the Service Industry and on the way in to your ears.
