Description
Russell doesn’t want to talk about his job. He doesn’t think he’s that good at it, and would rather talk about the literally zillions of bands he’s been in, records he loves and breakfast cereal. And we let him for a little bit, but we try to get to the bottom of what exactly he does as a mechanic, how it’s gotten more difficult as cars become more computer-based, what the work situation is like at the garage and more. Along the way we uncover some great stories about acquiring and keeping the Pontiac Bonneville ambulance used by the Mummies in running order, drag racing as a kid and why he isn’t as good at slot-car racing as you’d expect from a member of the Phantom Surfers. Do we figure out his job? Maybe not. Do we have fun trying? Absolutely.

Killed By Desk Trailer: Have you ever wondered what the weirdos behind your favorite records are doing when they’re not losing money? Whether they are pushing pencils, tending bar or running corporations, we’re having sincere yet totally stupid conversations on how they’ve managed to make a living and advance their scams into careers (or something like it) among the squares. Have you ever wondered what the weirdos playing on your favorite record are doing when they’re not losing money playing guitar? Are they painting houses, pushing pencils or running corporations? Are they why that Buzzcocks song is playing in an AARP commercial? Welcome to the only punk podcast trending on LinkedIn that looks to find out if that kid standing on stage or in the back is a biotech millionaire, in jail or possibly both. by Killed by Desk
