    Comedian Hannah Belmont tells three, short, hilarious stories at our live show, ending with how she went on a date with her older manager at a Mexican restaurant while in college. Hannah joins CJ and Sean in the studio and they discuss her story in more details, everything from the COVID vaccine to Lalapalooza and bad bosses. CJ and Sean discuss the theme of 'bad managers' for the episode, detailing stories of some of their bad bosses- Sean's in IT and CJ's at a hilarious bar in Philly. We also share some stats related to bad managers, like how coworkers are dating more often, post-covid and the alarmingly high occurrences of sexual harassment in the food service industry.

  • #101 Philly Gets Drunk & Climbs Some Poles
    Feb 13 2025
    An episode on The Super Bowl! CJ and Sean talk about their favorite moments watching America's funniest city, Philadelphia, win a Super Bowl and then party. People cooking pigs on trains, riding a top trains, maybe taking horses inside trains? We also talk about the city of Philadelphia's strategy for keeping cars and buildings safe and why anyone who says Kendrick Lamar's performance was a bad a halftime show is NO student of history- that Americans forget how hilariously mediocre the shows you used to be. We also share some mind-bendingly large Super Bowl stats, that the NFL shares with everyone and they are repeated as fact, but there's no way they are true, like how much money host cities make off the game and fans.
