Description

Work is like sex or food — you’re either getting it or looking for it. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. (correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) explores the human condition every week through the prism of employment. Roy sits down with real people from ALL lines of work about their most memorable jobs, employment vacancies they're looking to fill, scams they've run at the office, and of course, the cringe-worthy office romances. Roy's famed humor is matched by his true empathy and curiosity for people. Join him on an entertaining exploration into the battle all of us fight every day. Balancing our need to provide with our need for emotional fulfillment. Learn from the people who got it right. Laugh with the rest of us, who constantly get it wrong. Welcome to the Job Fair.

Rod's Relationship Fair 2: Military Sex
2022/06/22
"Semper Infidels" – Our troops are for sure faithful to their country but their spouses, not as much. @Rod4Short talks with members of the armed forces community to get to the bottom of why marital infidelity is so commonplace in this job. Veteran & Comedienne Rita Brent (Comedy Central, Epix) talks about her own marriage and how her time in the military played a BIG role in her divorce, and how the now defuncted 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy has affected her and fellow LGBTQ service members. And of course, Roy's Uncle Derix returns to share raunchy YET world-class advice from his two tours of duty. A married Navy veteran tells a story about the time a married man on base went to have sex with another married woman on base, only to discover that she was having sex with ANOTHER married person. Oh, the drama.  Watch all Roy Wood Jr Comedy Specials NOW available on iTunes and streaming NOW on Paramount+ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sal Vulcano
2022/06/08
Before his time on TruTV’s 'Impractical Jokers,' Sal Vulcano details his time as a teenager delivering pizzas on Staten Island, a time that included, spitting on pizzas, naked women, and car crashes. He then naturally pivoted to being an ordained minister and stand-up comedian. Sal also breaks down the early days of his improv group, The Tenderloins, and their unlikely rise to almost 300 episodes on TruTV as the 'Impractical Jokers.' A rapper believed to be gay is now being exposed for being…straight? Only @Rod4Short can explain. He also chimes in on a former TLC star who is taking the saying of putting her “blood, sweat, and tears” into her work literally — at least the “sweat” part. The new season of TruTV’s ‘Impractical Jokers’ premieres on June 16th! This is not a Paramount network show and the only reason that Roy is putting this in the description is that Sal actually IS a good friend. LOL!!! Wanna meet the team or be on the Job Fair?
