There’s an episode of “Friends” where Rachel is told that she has to be retrained as a waitress because, she’s basically terrible. And to her employer, she says, “Okay, fine. Gunther, y'know what, I am a terrible waitress. Do you know why I’m a terrible waitress? Because, I don’t care. I don’t care. I don’t care which pot is regular and which pot is decaf, I don’t care where the tray spot is, I just don’t care, and this is not what I want to do.”

 

And that my friends, is what I could have said to 100 percent of my previous employers. I’m not a great worker. I’m just not. I worked food service for years, cleaned luxury homes, did QA for a digital organization, customer service for said organization, retail, and you guys, I was bad at all of it. To me, the minutiae of what has to be done, what should be done, to what exactness— gahh, it's just boring.

 

Well, I have yet to be fired, and I believe there's actually a simple reason for that: I'm kinda fun.

 

I love myself a good time, but as you can imagine, I am a human being, so I am not so terribly one-dimensional. Just like you, my passions are wide-ranging, but a lot of it has to do with human behavior, relationships, mental, emotional and physical health, art and more.

 

I’ve been on the lookout for a podcast, book— something— that goes into all of these subjects while also helping me feel excited and I don’t know, even amused.

 

Enter, “Why so Serious?” A podcast where we discuss the things that matter most. A place where we chat with brilliant and hilarious minds, that widen our perspective and share words that resonate and speak to our souls. And this is also the place where we leave feeling a little emotionally lighter, every time we listen.

 

So go on ahead, crack open that Dr. Pepper, or whatever your poison might be, and let’s just have a good time.
