  • 75. The Pros and Cons of The Most Insane Job
    May 20 2024

    Jake became a CO because he saw the job posted on Indeed, the website designed to broker meetings between employeers and prospects. But what did he see? In this episode Jake and Jon break down "The Pros and Cons of Being a Correctional Officer" as Indeed describes it. Did they get it right or were they way off? A perfect segue is made into talking the case in Oklahoma where the warden's top boy has been running a drug smuggling operation. Does it shock the conscience or do you just wish you had thought of it first?


    Jon's Jake Jokes: A for effort and that's all that can be said.

  • 73. Final Fuckup: Picante Blast
    May 13 2024

    Two Correctional Officers transported an inmate to the hospital. While there, he decided to make a break for it. He overpowered one officer, dousing him in his own oleoresin capsicum. The other officer, seeing that the game was afoot and that the safety and security of the community was on the line for this soon to flee felon, drew her pistol and plugged him. Now he's sentenced to the prison of death, from which there is no parole. But was in the right decision? Jon and Jake try to make sense of it, talk tactical problems and probably outcomes.


    Why aren't more things pneumatic? Mmmm. Good ponderings.
