Hey everyone we finally made it to 50 episodes!!! Only took us 3+ years but we won't delve on that because we did it and we're still here and maybe in like 3 more months we'll put up another episode!! Regardless, in our landmark 50th we have lots to go over because of our time off. Let's just say we have lots of expectant customers, YouTube celebrities, shitty holidays, Will Poulter and the beauty that is sick leave in the service industry. Oh ya and Will Poulter. Have a listen and a good time eh?

In this last episode of 2022 we talk about the pandemic domino effect that's still wreaking havoc on our lives, as well as the World Cup that's wreaking havoc on our lives. Basically everything is wreaking havoc on our lives!!! But we like to have fun here, so we talk happy thoughts too like vivid work dreams and nightmarish real life work scenarios with just the best human beings. It's a good time so do yourself a favor and give us a listen!!!!

Jess is back in town and when she's back we like to have the occasional fun!!

Welp we finally recorded for the 1st time in 4 months so welcome back us!! Lots has happened since we last spoke so don't miss out on all our delightfully vulgar and playful banter..albeit from halfway across the country now. But who cares?!! All that matters is that we're back baby so come on in..water's fine.

In the last of our carefully planned time capsule episodes, we discuss this past Halloween in depth, flash mobs, Turd Ferguson and prepare Jess for her move to LA. It's like reliving your life from 4 months ago, and who doesn't want to do that with how well the past 2 years have gone?? Enjoy!!!

Well it's been 4 months but hey guys we're back and trust me it feels like a time machine because Jess still hasn't moved to LA, baseball is still going on, people are licking faces and, with the biggest throwback of all, casinos have creepy guys that deserve a good punch in the face!! It's a weird, wild trip back in time that you really don't wanna miss!!

We go real deep in this episode with some help from our good friend Kid Rock(ok so he's not ACTUALLY in the episode but he helped us get through a lot the past week). Thanks Kid. Anywho we get into old timey favorites like conventioneers, stupid drinks and interesting patrons, but also discuss finer issues like academia and what happens when the city of Chicago plans more events than happened in all of 2020 in one weekend!! It's good stuff trust us!!!!

Well it's been hot and that means people have been acting all sorts of weird. Listen to us talk about all the things from fake Jessicas, the return of masks, Inspector Gadget, those damn kids and the wonders(more like blunders AMIRIGHT!!) of Grubhub.

In the lucky #13 episode of SWC on Day 752 of quarantine we are all over the place as we're slowly losing our minds!!

Oh ya and we do talk about the service industry too..

We can't help talk about the purge, tiger king (obviously), disneyland, the jonas brothers, Arkansas (obviously)and Wrestlemania among other things!!

Definitely a different kind of episode as we hunker down in our sheltered bar and discuss the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus on our industry and the effect it's had and will continue to have on people's lives..and have a few drinks because fuck it why not it's not like we have to work!!

NBA all star weekend returned to Chicago so we dish(deep? Like deep dish? Because it's Chicago? Nah, forget it), watching people act lewdly outside the bar, hot sauce badasses, Big Macs, wrestling & so much more!!

It's all about New Orleans in this very special episode as Jess and Danny talk about their recent trip south. Swamps, Pelicans, raccoons, possums, pigs, snakes, gators, exquisite cuisine, shitty drinks, shittier weather, vampires, voodoo, cemeteries and even a little breaking and entering are just a few topics we delve into. A magical place deserves a magical episode repping the 504 y'all!
