Side Work Podcast

We are back with a two-parter, a deep dive, a true exploration of America's favorite pastime: eatin' a steak while lookin' at tits. In this episode we talk about the dawn of The Playboy Club in 1963 and the "iconic" look of the food and cocktail servers - Bunnies. We learn that Gloria Steinem went deep cover as a Bunny to do a journalistic expose' and inform the public about the work uniform that caused bleeding, chafing, and internal organ crushing. We read some infuriating Server Submitted Stories and then welcome our friend and former cater-waiter Sasheer Zamata to reminisce about a pretty sweet job on her college campus.

The podcast keeps it classy while discussing today's topic: Dive Bars. We all have a very special place in our heart for duct taped chairs, shots of Jameson and bar popcorn. Dive bar owners and servers are top of the service industry food chain, in our opinion! We read your Server Submitted Stories and then interview Wisconsin gal Beth Hoyt about her various jobs and having to wear a tie with crabs on it.

This week we pick back up with our chat about the check that's longer than a CVS receipt.
