Wyatt Flores is a 23-year-old singer-songwriter from Stillwater, Oklahoma, who’s making a name for himself in the Red Dirt music scene, building on the musical legacy of his home state. He grew up on a ranch in a working-class family where he was surrounded by musicians, often hearing them play cowboy songs around a campfire. His father, a drummer, built him a stage in the backyard when he recognized his talent, and his Uncle Bobby taught him how to play guitar. Now Wyatt is playing in front of thousands of fans, singing at the Grand Ole Opry, and writing songs that are winning audiences with their honesty, heart, and vulnerability. His debut album, Welcome to the Plains, explores the rough—and sometimes violent—side of growing up in rural Oklahoma, but it also shows a talent for storytelling and a wry sense of humor. Sid talks to Wyatt about why he’s so happy to be back in Stillwater after a couple of years in Nashville, the mental health struggles he’s openly shared with his fans, the family member he wants to have on his podcast, and why his favorite food is a breakfast burrito.

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.

Episode 99: From A 'Housewives' Dig To Becoming A Bravo Personality with Daryn Carp 1:13:03

3 years тому1:13:03

1:13:03

Happy 99th episode everyone! This week we are joined by one of the greats! We have host, comedian, Bravo personality, and friend, Daryn Carp (Shaken & Disturbed Podcast, People's Reality Check) on the show! Daryn is one of the busiest freelancers we know, but for an hour she was unemployed with us. We discuss her first jobs in her family's ski shops, working as a waitress in her hometown, and then the coveted retail job at American Apparel (RIP). But after her retail days, Daryn landed the NBC page program right out of college where she got to work on a bunch of NBC shows. Eventually she got an interview to work with Andy Cohen, where she was exceptionally honest about her opinions on Bravo shows. What could have cancelled her in the Bravo-verse turned into an 11 year job working alongside Andy Cohen at Bravo. We get to learn some great advice that Daryn has gotten over the years and it's very cool to hear how supportive of a boss he's been throughout her life. This episode is inspiring, and shout out to Andy Cohen if he ever wants to be a guest! LOL. Make sure you check out Daryn on social: @carpedaryn and listen to Shaken & Disturbed podcast!

3 years тому

—

This week's episode is with an amazing Film & TV Producer, Professor, Cartographer of the Media Universe, and Anna's friend, Evan Shapiro! Evan has had some incredible jobs over the years working for big corporate media companies, producing major comedy series like Portlandia , teaching at NYU, and his latest venture- starting a podcast with his daughter about cancel culture! (Brave, right?! It's so funny.) Evan gives some of the best advice we've had on this podcast. He talks to us about the rise and fall of major media companies, and what he liked and disliked about working for some of these corporations, and how he's able to fuel his creativity into his life now. He tells us stories about running his own business, a creative marketing agency working with Broadway's biggest shows, and developing Portlandia for IFC. Evan and Anna talk about finding your passion and figuring out a way to make money doing it, which is really what a job should be. And also Broadway...they're big theater nerds. You're going to love this episode and feel empowered about work after listening to it. So to take him down a notch (just kidding) go listen to his new podcast, "Cancel Culture" with his daughter and her comedian friends who have to write a joke for Evan about a questionable topic that could definitely get him cancelled!

This week on the podcast we have the hilarious comedian and friend of Anna's, Khalid Rahmaan! First of all this is the nicest episode of the pod. The complimenting alone is so sweet! Khalid is one of the most positive comics on the scene. Khalid talks to us about how he was fired over Zoom in the pandemic for a customer service job, which we believe to be iconic. But he embraced the pandemic days and started doing voiceovers and standup shows online to stay busy. Khalid wasn't always a full-time comedian and writer, he was a teenage Manny! The only "teenage, black, straight, male nanny" and he wants you to remember this. He worked for the longest running Phantom in Phantom of the Opera. And you MUST listen to this ep to hear the story of when Khalid took two young boys to a Wu-Tang concert! We are still dying laughing.

Remy and Anna catch up on life and talk about how she lived in Oregon at the beginning of the pandemic and ran a comedy show online out of her boyfriend's parents' basement. AKA an iconic move.

Anna and Remy remember her crowning achievement of winning the so you think you can smoke contest on the original live version of The Unemployed Show on 4/20 years in a row. Remy tells us about her job working at a tennis club, working at a hedge fund, and other odd gigs. She also talks about how she basically made Rent The Runway what they are today - having been a boss (intern) for the company when she was 18! But Remy also started a company at a very young age and her video for the kickstarter actually launched her comedy career. Now she's a working comic and we go into depth about what that means to people we grew up with!

1:05:24

OMG we're 90 episodes old today! Happy birthday to us, it's not easy staying unemployed this long! :) To celebrate, we have the hilarious comedian and writer Zach Zimmerman (The New Yorker) on the show. Zach has a book coming out this spring so we caught him early on the press tour! The book is called, Is It Hot in Here or Am I Suffering for all Eternity From all the Sins I Committed on Earth? And while he calls it a title, we call it a poem! The stories in this episode are awesome. Zach knew from a young age that he wanted to be on a stage, and to tell stories. But before the dream set in, his first jobs were working at Target during holiday season, Papa John's for one whole week (until his schedule conflicted with his play!) Then in college he did a few jobs but his heart was in creating original work. After college he found his "dream office job" at an LGBTQ community center which sounded like a cool experience. Eventually he made the move to work in advertising, which eventually brought him to NYC where he pursued comedy. One of his first shows was a magic/comedy show which Anna saw and loved, and that's how she met Zach! Now that you're a fan, make sure to follow Zach on social media at @zzdoublezz. And don't forget to pre-order Zach's book when it's available! Anna and Ellen also listen to a voicemail (have you called us yet?!) that someone left who tells the story about getting fired from a TV show because he was accused of stealing a feather cape. We're obsessed. Call us and be our next favorite voicemail.…

1:07:48

This week's episode is with the hilarious comedian Marcia Belsky (Comedy Central, Tonight Show)! We talk all about Marcia's song "100 Tampons" and how cool it was to have it go super viral in the pandemic with celebrities lip syncing it on TikTok and everyone sharing it. It's so funny, and continues to grow on social media, and honestly was the thing that led Marcia to focusing on doing comedy full-time. But Marcia's had her share of day jobs in customer service, and easily made friends there. And then got her friends on board with her complaints about the job and everyone was ready to revolt. That's why she's our leader of the job revolution! We also talk about doing standup and how different it feels to pack your schedule now that we've lived through a pandemic. Marcia also tells us how she started working more on musical comedy after meeting her writing partner at the coffee shop she worked in. Also, we're fascinated with her love of Glee.

They met working together on the awesome app Airtime, and now they're real life friends. Winnie lives in Canada and is a professional nail artist. (Do yourself a favor and follow her incredible instagram @WinnieIsAwesome because her nail art is on another level!) She works with the iconic brand CND, and makes the best content. But before she decided to become a full time creative queen, she had many jobs, and a blog about nails. That blog started to become more and more important and that's how she knew it was time to follow her heart. Growing up in a traditional Chinese family meant she had to get a "real full-time job" and would put her love of nails on the side. However, after putting herself through school she finally took the leap and made it happen. And thank god, because she's won competitions ( Next Top Nail Artist ), been on TV, worked on fashion shoots and movies, and is killing it. This episode is so much fun because Winnie's energy is infectious! If you love it like we do, leave a review! We love a cute review! For video: Patreon.com/UnemployedPodcast…

We have an amazing episode this week with comedian and podcast host, Alexis Gay! Alexis hosts the amazing podcast "Non-Technical" where she talks to stars in the tech world about everything BUT their resume. So basically the opposite of this podcast! Alexis is super inspiring because she was working in tech, at startups, at Patreon, and decided to take the leap to leave her full-time job and work for herself doing comedy and starting her podcast. We talk a lot about what it's like to make that transition, and how to set yourself up for a career change. Of course we also talk about her first jobs and her crush on her coworker when she was 16 who she later in life went on a date with which is an amazing juicy story! Anna also gets inspired to call her old crushes to try and make this fairytale happen! The conversation goes deep into the struggle between going for your dreams or going to school and doing what you thought was a traditional path. But if you have the acting bug, you have the acting bug! This is an inspiring episode if you've been thinking about changing your career. Make sure you follow @YayAlexisGay on all platforms and watch her hilarious viral videos and definitely check out Non-Technical Podcast wherever you're listening to your pods these days!

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 week is a very special episode! Anna and Ellen catch up on what's going on with Unemployment and the news! Spoiler? It's a lot. But recently there have been reports of people who are actually "overemployed" (what?!) and working more than one job remotely at home since the pandemic. Also, some people are doing Twitch shows from hot tubs which is something Anna is considering, since she loves to wear bras as shirts (sign up for that Patreon to watch this episode lol). And of course we discuss the dream job of the guy who dances as Austin Powers at a theme park every single day. We go over some listener submitted stories about jobs and "cover" a wild holiday party story! We take an amazing call on this episode from our new Twitter, Alex, who manages newspaper distribution in Montana. Alex tells us all about his job and how he's moving so he's leaving his job and might be (gulp) unemployed, but not for long because he's wonderful. If you want to submit a job story about ANYTHING to be featured on the podcast, or call in, please email: TheUnemployedTeam@gmail.com or find us on social!

Happy 75th! This week we have on the very funny Gianmarco Soresi (The Downside Podcast)! Gianmarco is a standup comedian, actor, and former singing waiter! We talk all about his acting days from working in a restaurant where he got to perform to moving to New York and working in catering until acting in a bunch of commercials. Of course, he ended up in comedy because sometimes ya do! We of course discuss his conversation with The Rock that recently happened on Twitter where they discuss his shower routine. All the power to Gianmarco who reminded Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson that he watched him perform in 'Hello Dolly' at their alma mater. Gianmarco takes us through a ride of what it's like to move to New York without New York credits and get into audition rooms. Ellen and Anna discuss what life would be like without going on Twitter, which sounds peaceful! It's an amazing episode and we can only hope that The Rock likes it enough to be our next guest. Check out Gianmarco on social media (especially TikTok!) at @GianmarcoSoresi and listen to his new podcast!…

Episode 74: Cutting The Cheese, Spilling The Beans, & More with Jo Firestone 1:18:27

This week we are so lucky to have on one of the funniest people I know, the incredible Jo Firestone! You may know Jo from Shrill on Hulu, The Tonight Show , Joe Pera Talks To You, or that CSA she's been getting too many vegetables at each week. We discuss our cooking habits and what to do when you have an overhaul of fresh vegetables (hint: make a soup)! But of course we get into all of the jobs Jo had before she was the success you know & love today and that started at the local food court. Jo got to pass out the chicken samples at Little Tokyo at the mall and she was too honest to keep the job. She then moved onto a pizza place that surprised her with pop quizzes, and landed a gig at an apple orchard. One of her best jobs was working as the kid's entertainer at the apple orchard as "Farmer Jo!" And then when she moved to NY she worked in a coffee shop and catering, and we get into the food service stories. But her favorite job was playing a casting director for someone's marriage proposal! The stories in this episode are hilarious and if you love Jo, this is a must listen! Find Jo on IG at @yoyofirestone and watch Shrill on Hulu!…

This week's episode is such a treat! We have the very funny comedian and writer, Sharron Paul (Cheap Date Comedy, Impractical Jokers.) We discuss with Sharron how she's been employed (dare we say "over-employed") throughout the whole pandemic! Also, she got engaged, so she's killing it right now. She's had some awesome gigs and of course we deep dive into her early jobs at day cares, pet sitting, and task rabbit. The stories about her task rabbit days are too funny because we've now learned that people with money will "literally pay for anything." Also, we of course get into our love of 90s bands like N'Sync and The Spice Girls. This episode is one for the books! Check out Sharron on social (@Sharronica) for more laughs. Also, Anna and Ellen discuss Anna's Peloton, naturally, and Ellen's return to an office which is daunting! Make sure you rate and review and HIRE US because it'd mean a lot!

On this week's episode we have a fun cross over event! We have Brandy Crawford and Dan Brown, hosts of "TV BFFS Podcast" joining us! Their podcast is about people's "Best" "Favorite" and "Forever" TV shows, aka "BFF" (and Anna is on an episode so check that out!) so naturally we talk to them about their Best, Favorite and Forever Jobs. The BEST jobs they ever had, the FAVORITE ones (more personal to them) and the jobs they could do FOREVER! Anna and Ellen also play along and Anna talks about how great her job at HQ was. Aside from this fun game, Dan and Brandy are TV producers who met at a job years ago and became friends over their love of TV. So not only do they watch a lot of it but they produce it! But before this, they both had some fun jobs that we get into as well. It's a really fun and different episode and we're so excited for you to hear it!

We are so lucky this week to have on the wonderful, Emmy-nominated director and producer, Ana Breton! Ana works in comedy and has worked on the TV shows "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee," and "The Drew Barrymore Show." Ana began her pandemic by having a baby and then switching jobs to work for Drew Barrymore! But long before these successes, we dive into her job history where she interned for Marie Osmond in Utah, went to school for journalism, wrote and reported about true crime, worked on a documentary about American history, and more! Basically she's had a lot of cool jobs. After moving to NYC she did a lot of video at UCB, and worked as a photographer and videographer for events. One event that you have to hear about was taking photos for Harvey Weinstein's mother's funeral. Yea you read that right. We were just as intrigued as you! Go listen! Also, Anna and Ellen discuss Ellen's college internship she barely remembers, and Anna's high school senior project which was recording a demo lol. Amazing episode all around. Follow the very funny Ana on twitter @MissBreton (if u nasty!) and make sure to RATE, REVIEW, and HIRE US OF COURSE!…

This week's episode is with a very fun guest. She's an entrepreneur, a content strategist, a content creator, and the QUEEN OF CHALLAH, we have Dolly Meckler on the pod! Dolly was introduced to us as "Challah Dolly" which is her business she started up in the pandemic that has become a huge part of her life lately. She sells her challahs wholesale, and you can order. I highly recommend getting your hands on a loaf of her "everything seasoning challah" because I ate a loaf in a night recently. Her story of how she got into this venture is so good and she tells us all the details on this episode. She was new to LA at the beginning of the pandemic, working in social media, and cut to a year later she is selling her challah's at multiple places in New York City. But before baking, she was the president at her sorority, produced a web series in college, and was the person behind all of the tweets for a little HBO show called "Game Of Thrones." Her stories are awesome and you're going to love this episode. Go find Dolly at @DollyMeckler, @ChallahDolly, @HelloDolly and check out all her stuff. Also, watch this episode on our Patreon.com/UnemployedPodcast if you're feeling fancy!…
