Description

This week on the podcast we have the very funny comedian, Rojo Perez (The Tonight Show)! Rojo talks about navigating the pandemic when he had a bunch of tour dates cancelled, but making it work. Anna and Rojo talk about how it's so hard to imagine going back to a day job when you're removed for so long, even if the stability (and meals?) sound enticing! We of course rewind it back to Rojo's teenage years in Puerto Rico where he worked for his dad's wood rental business. While this is an audio podcast, we love to picture baby Rojo carrying wood all over the place in his heavy gear because he didn't want to get dirty. Anna and Rojo talk about his days of being a referee for different sports, working as a valet parking attendant, and a three week stint exterminating bedbugs. Yeah, the NYC bedbugs. Eventually he became a fulltime comedian but he has so many funny stories and this episode is fire! Leave a review, watch the ep on Patreon, and go follow Rojo on social media - @rojoperezzz for more funny stuff!

This is a safe space for anyone who has ever lost a job, left a job, or is sitting at their desks bored out of their mind right now! Based on the hit live digital talk show, "The Unemployed Show," where Anna and guests would wear pajamas every week and commiserate about bad jobs, this podcast is a more intimate look into the world of unemployment and underemployment. Anna sat in front of a camera on her couch for 'The Unemployed Show' for 2 years and then got a job hosting a show in front of hundreds of thousands of people on the app HQ. Is she the fairy godmother of unemployed millennials? Some say yes! Hopefully this podcast will inspire you to pick yourself up and get a new job, or stay on your couch and chill all day. Either way, you'll laugh with Anna and her guests about the insane things they did for work. Each week Anna interviews friends, comedians, and professionals about their worst (and best!) job stories and how they figured out life as an unemployed person. Oh and sometimes they call a stranger from the internet who is unemployed and in need of a pep talk. It's sweet.
