Nothing but stories about your last day on a job. For daring to complain about a bounced paycheck, it seems like that was enough for the WWE to give Jonathan Coachman (The Early Edge: A Daily SportsLine Betting Podcast) 20,000 reasons to never say anything nice about Vince McMahon.  Former NHL Draft pick turned Emmy-nominated producer R.J. Fried from 'Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News' talks about the day he knew it was time to put down the hockey stick and pick up an ink pen. 
Now an official three-timer, Daylon Goff (JET Magazine) takes a trip down memory lane detailing how his last day as an ad exec at WingStop coincided with a viral social media crisis. A loyal listener on Staten Island talks about the time he quit his sneaker job, then stole sneakers on the way out, and his MANAGER LET HIM KEEP THEM!
Jacqueline (aka The Employment Grim Reaper) details a time when she was hired by a movie studio to travel to a movie set and fire EIGHT PEOPLE in one day. She also breaks down ways employers can craftily assess employees in an effort to keep them. 

But, what are the tell-tale signs the axe is coming? The team unpacks their real-life drama and breaks down what to look out for to keep you off the chopping block. We wish someone had told football coach Herm Edwards. It appears he was fired by Arizona State...ON THE FIELD!

For decades, JET Magazine was the leading publication chronicling the Black experience, then it all came crumbling down.  The new president of JET, Daylon Goff, breaks down his approach to repositioning the iconic JET brand, and scams he saw in his time pre-JET as a minority ad executive in ultra-white spaces. Daylon also shares why he chose to pivot from success in the advertising world to try and bring this iconic brand back from the ashes. Daylon also discusses if the new iteration of JET will still have the ‘JET Beauty of the Week’– or, as Roy calls it – Page 43. @Rod4Short offers a more “modern” solution. Never have sex with someone dating a dude who works at Foot Locker. Roy learned the hard way. 

NOW HIRING: A Florida Christian school after a teacher takes a "L" for reportedly twerking on a student. As the fallout from the Boston Celtics sex scandal reverberates, @Rod4Short tiptoes around what some consider unhealthy watercooler advice. Forgive but don't forget? The team debates. And on the other side of the scale, is a wild story of a fishing cheating scandal that could lead to superstar anglers behind bars. It's more than just fishy. 

A news reporter is doing what she needs to do to deliver important weather updates even if that means using a condom.

An Alabama high school choir director discusses his job and breaks down WHY music education is essential, HOW the church has played a role in children losing interest in music, and how music can take you places (like Carnegie Hall).

Now, many are mastering fundraising too to evade the death of music programs in their schools.
