    Episode 55 - Bad Ideas Happened Here
    Jan 14 2026

    Some weeks call for a theme. Others call for survival. This week is both.
    Gina’s dealing with a brutal lower-back/nerve flare-up (so if you hear the pain-politeness fighting for dominance… that’s why), Gary’s running on late-Sunday-night fumes, and Juniper is living her best life in the background like nothing is wrong.

    So instead of forcing one neat topic, we went full “Reddit’s Greatest Hits”: a little workplace chaos, a little office entitlement, a little hospitality horror, and one job interview moment so aggressively unhinged it feels like a deleted scene from a comedy movie. Basically: the perfect episode to keep you company while you’re doom-scrolling, meal-prepping, or trying not to spiral over the week ahead.


    🧠 This Week’s Stories (Reddit’s Greatest Hits)

    • A coworker who can’t stop commenting on someone’s outfits — so OP starts replying to every “compliment” with a sad, traumatic story until the comments mysteriously stop 👗😬

    • A post-holiday lunch where OP forgets a dentist appointment… and a coworker decides that taking an Uber by choice means OP should reimburse him (and then starts a petty campaign at work) 🚗💸

    • A hotel guest who insists he has a “right to be naked,” stalks housekeeping in the hallway, threatens staff, and somehow turns a routine shift into a full-on “call the cops” saga 🏨🚨

    • A job candidate who tries to stand out in an interview by chugging an entire bottle of hot sauce… and promptly discovers that “handling the heat” is not a marketable skill 🌶️🤢

    📰 News & Pop Culture Break

    Why people blink less when they’re actually listening 👀
    Do redheads feel pain differently? (Science says: maybe, kind of, it’s complicated) 🧬
    England moves to ban boiling lobsters alive 🦞

    Google’s Gemini AI enters the shopping chat — and why that makes us uneasy 🤖🛒

    If you like your workplace stories messy, your management decisions questionable, and your interviews unforgettable for all the wrong reasons — this episode is for you.

  • Episode 54 - Upon Further Review

    Episode 54 - Upon Further Review
    Jan 7 2026
    New year, new you… and unfortunately, new coworkers too. 🫠Gina & Gary kick off 2026 with a slightly upgraded setup, suspiciously high optimism, and the familiar false hope that this year will be different... at least professionally. With resolution season in full swing, they ask the only question that really matters: what fresh corporate chaos is waiting for us on day one?From first-day nerves and “new beginnings” energy to the immediate realization that something is off, this episode dives into the uniquely cursed experience of starting a new job. Because nothing says “fresh start” like discovering the role you just accepted is actually a scam, a glorified apprenticeship, or a slow-motion HR violation — and you haven’t even learned where the bathroom is yet.🧑‍💼 First Day From Hell (A Collection)A job offer that starts at a funeral and somehow only gets worse — surprise apprenticeship, insultingly low pay, and a workplace so toxic the kids deserve hazard pay 🚩⚰️Holiday retail onboarding at its finest: no training, no guidance, and management suggesting you memorize the store layout on your own time because “initiative” 🛍️🧠A first solo delivery route featuring locked keys, soaked clothes, an angry stranger, and the kind of day that makes you quietly drop the truck off and never return 🚚💦A too-good-to-be-true “sales job” that turns into a strip-mall death march — complete with Axe body spray, frosted tips, and a trunk full of items that absolutely should not be sold together 🎒🧴🧊 Break Room Check-InCat TV diplomacy, Juniper’s medicine schedule, and Samson trying to fight the birds through the screen 🐦📺Ethernet cords: convenient, lethal, and apparently placed by tiny kitchen gremlins (sorry, Gina) 🖥️🩹Plus: Fallout love, Stranger Things disappointment discourse, and Gary hitting Twitch affiliate like it’s his new full-time job 🎮✨📰 News Break: Because Reality Is Still WeirdTattoos and your immune system (commitment issues, but make it scientific) 🖋️🧬Medieval Wales: a women-only cemetery mystery with chapel vibes and bone pins 👀🏰Tooth gems: cute when done right, cursed when done in someone’s kitchen 💎🦷Gaming on resumes = hiring managers judging you for having joy 🕹️📄AI interviewing college applicants (because anxiety wasn’t already a full-time major) 🤖🎓And of course: 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse — aka “act boldly, quit dramatically, and stop letting snake-year energy waste your time” 🐎🔥If your New Year’s resolution includes a fresh start, a new job, or simply surviving your first day without rage-blackout… this one’s for you.🧾 New episodes every Wednesday at 5 AM📩 Send your stories: NeedNotApplyPod@gmail.com📲 Follow us: @neednotapplypodSee you at the water cooler… and don’t forget to punch out. 🧊💪

    Episode 53 - Self-Improvement Has Side Effects
    Dec 31 2025
    New year, new you… and somehow everyone else’s worst behavior too. 💪😵‍💫As resolution season kicks off, Gina & Gary wade into the chaos of gym culture at its absolute peak; from power-tripping regulars and impossible-to-cancel memberships to a man who refuses to stop loudly moaning his way through a workout, clearing rooms and testing the limits of public decency. Add post-holiday retail burnout, malicious compliance victories, and the familiar realization that self-improvement season brings out the least improved versions of people...and you’ve got another unhinged trip to the workplace-adjacent twilight zone.🏋️‍♀️ On Today’s Episode…A gym “regular” goes full rage-mode when asked to stop acting like a menace 🧓💥The gym customer who refused to stop making… loud “adult” noises (yes, really) 😳🔊The contract cancellation saga from hell — certified mail, fees, and a surprise clause that flips the script 📬🧾A delicious bait-and-switch cancellation move that deserves a slow clap 👏😈🧊 Life Updates from the Break RoomRetail holiday aftermath: returns, exchanges, and “it’s never actually slow” energy 🎁↩️Snow/ice check-in + the rare “smart shoveling decision” ✅❄️Tech chaos + “oops did we go live?” moments because we are professional-ish 😅📡Streaming check-in + the road to Twitch affiliate (50 is right there) 🎮🔥Cozy distractions: Stanley cup thoughts, Secret Santa wins, and a Govee star projector that the cats may or may not be obsessed with 🌌🐈📰 News Break: Weird Science & Future Dystopia (Our Favorite)Plant-based hair serum that may boost regrowth in weeks 🌿🧴Cyborg cockroach spies (Madagascar hissing roaches… with backpacks??) 🪳🎥Wood + salt = biodegradable plastic that avoids microplastics (science said “fine, I’ll do it myself”) 🌳🧂Russia planning a nuclear power plant on the moon within a decade… because priorities 🌙⚛️Humans doing math before numbers existed via ancient floral pottery patterns 🌸➗Intermittent fasting + brain-gut connection (and what it might mean for appetite & behavior) 🧠🦠AI driving a global RAM shortage — your tech may get pricier, and Gary is personally offended 💻📈📌 Catch Us at the Water CoolerIf your resolution is “get swole” 💪 or “survive society” 🫠 — we’ve got you.✅ New episodes every Wednesday at 5 AM📩 Send your stories: NeedNotApplyPod@gmail.com📲 IG + TikTok: @neednotapplypod📺 YouTube: Need Not Apply PodcastSee you at the water cooler… and don’t forget to punch out. 🧊🕔👊
