1 - Meet Our (Handsy) Founder

Jen Phelps and Valentina Rivera, two eager, gaffe-prone administrative assistants welcome you to the official podcast of the Sterling Water Company. 

They’ve started the show to get to the bottom of a scandal:  an anonymous employee has written a “Burn Log” - a list of insults about this small-town water company’s customers and personnel. This sensitive document was leaked to the press and now Jen and Val want to try to get to the bottom of all the secrets in their office. 

On this episode, Jen and Val interview Junior Fleming, the owner of the company. They learn some colorful local lore and help Junior fight his natural impulses to sexually harass them.

2 - No One Supports Maceo Green

Valentina complains about the difficulties of hooking up during corona-times. It’s enough to make them fantasize about running off to become (sexy) nuns. But when Maceo Green, an old flame of Val's, shows up at Sterling, her prospects suddenly look much better. Are she and Maceo going too fast? Yes. They really are.

3 - Customer Spotlight: Rachel Gleason

In an effort to reach out to the community and make amends for the insults written about them in the Burn Log, Jen and Val have invited one of Sterling's best customers onto the show. She makes her own clothes, can hear hidden messages in sound and gives Jen a gift that almost gets Jen fired.

4 - Kenneth vs. Trey the Temp: The Showdown 

Jen and Val can’t say enough good things about the new temp, Trey. They like him so much, they try to bump their regularly scheduled guest, Kenneth from accounting. But Kenneth won’t go away without a fight, so dueling interviews are held.

While Kenneth has some pretty impressive vocal foley effects to share, Trey draws Valentina into his mission to help place oddball pets. May the most fascinating guest win!
