#16 - James: Dumb Stuff We've Done For Money
James just quit his job the day before this episode was recorded. Crazy right? Quitting a job can be a whole slew of emotions... from scary, bittersweet, all the way to the pure unadulterated rush of dopamine. We've all had weird jobs, left crazy jobs, or have insane stories that come from ways we've all tried to make a quick buck. In this episode the gang talk about the wildest stories they have from different jobs they've worked, mostly childhood jobs. And we go deep. Everything from washing warm coleslaw out of dump-trucks, calling the police on deranged drug abusers who can rip tasers out of their chests, to watching mother cats chew on placentas. This is also our first video podcast (only available on Spotify & Youtube). If you like this type of content you can check out our full Youtube channel available here
