Employees aren't just asking for feedback—they're begging for it.  So why are we still serving them stale, twice-a-year performance reviews like it's 1999? This week, I'm sitting down with Jessica DeVlieger to unpack why your team is secretly screaming, “Just tell me if I'm doing a good job!”—and how leaders keep missing the mark. We're digging into:

Let's talk about fairness—or, more accurately, let's talk about how your company is probably failing at it! You know the drill: the ‘neutral' policies that somehow always disadvantage the same people, the DEI initiatives that start and end with a Slack emoji, the performance reviews that feel more like a lottery than actual feedback.  This week, Zach Nunn (founder of Living Corporate and certified corporate truth-teller) joins me to rip apart the illusion of fairness at work!  We're talking remote work double standards, the sneaky policies that keep marginalized employees stuck, and why ‘transparency' is often just corporate code for ‘we'll tell you the rules but not how to win.'  If most workplaces were actually fair, we wouldn't need this episode!  But since that's not our reality yet… press play and let's get figure it out together. Choosing the wrong HR platform is rife with regrets: losing a top performer, promoting the wrong person, or failing to engage your team when the business needs it most. Fortunately, you don't have to choose between investing in people programs and consolidating your tech stack. With Lattice, you can have both. Visit lattice.com to learn more.

There's so much we can learn from the sports that we love. So lace up your sneakers and pull up your socks, because this episode is a full-court press of insights, laughs, and way too many basketball metaphors! Today, Chris Henrichs is giving a masterclass on how the lessons from the court can transform the way we think about HR, leadership, and building a workplace that doesn't just survive, but thrives. From Michael Jordan's killer competitiveness to the art of drafting the right players (or employees), Chris breaks down all the interesting parallels between basketball and HR.  We're talking leadership styles, creating a winning culture, handling competition, and why HR is basically the coach, GM, and referee of the workplace. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or someone who thinks a “pick-and-roll” is a bakery order, you'll still hae actionable takeaways that'll make you rethink how you lead, collaborate, and bounce back from setbacks.

On today's episode, you're going to hear one word a million times… And that is strategic. Let's be real, we've all heard the word “strategic” thrown around a million times, but what does it ACTUALLY mean?

Welcome to a brand new season of the podcast, where I'm flipping the script and diving deep into more diverse topics! I'll be challenging myself (and my guests) to rethink what we think we know about the world of work, and how seemingly unrelated topics still tie back to HR. Today, we've got the one and only Sarika Lamont, aka my Comp Guru Queen, joining us! If you want to understand pay transparency and total rewards in a way that actually makes sense, Sarika is here to break it all down.  Spoiler alert: pay isn't as simple as it seems—and neither is the communication behind it.  We talk about why employees often misunderstand compensation, how we can improve the conversation, and why education is the key to getting pay transparency right.

Hot take: Nobody is inherently a good leader. Being a leader is a learned skill. What does it really take to be a good leader?  It's not about being perfect, having all the answers, or walking in like a natural-born boss! Leadership is messy, vulnerable, and learned.  In this episode, my unofficial co-host (and leadership guru) Jessica Winder is back to break it all down.  We talk about why vulnerability is a must (not an option), how to lead when you have zero authority, and why leadership isn't a natural-born trait—it's a skill you grow over time.

Last week, the US elected its 47th president. As I was sifting through the reactions of family, friends, and coworkers online, feelings of excitement and feelings of sadness were all over the place, and it was a lot to think about. But the thing I kept coming back to was the mission of I Hate It Here and the ways that elections affect us all! So today, we're taking a stroll down HR memory lane, digging into the laws that flipped the script on how we work. From the Fair Labor Standards Act to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, we're exploring the major pieces of legislation that shaped HR as we know it.

I HATE IT HERE!!!!! This week has been a long week. We've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, fooled, ran amuck, and that was all on Tuesday. While all that was happening, y'all were out here saying Tyler the Creator needs to be a part of the big 3, streamers are saying that streaming is harder than a 9 to 5, and Lil Durk might be going to jail for something he has NO business doing. Upset isn't even the word but at the very least we have the 'Arts Block Podcast'.

Today I talked to Matthew Ferrence about his book I Hate It Here, Please Vote for Me: Essays on Rural Political Decay (West Virginia UP, 2024). When a progressive college professor runs for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in a deeply conservative rural district, he loses. That's no surprise. But the story of how Ferrence loses and, more importantly, how American political narratives refuse to recognize the existence and value of nonconservative rural Americans offers insight into the political morass of our nation. In essays focused on showing goats at the county fair, planting native grasses in the front lawn, the political power of poetry, and getting wiped out in an election, Ferrence offers a counter-narrative to stereotypes of monolithic rural American voters and emphasizes the way stories told about rural America are a source for the bitter divide between Red America and Blue America.

Most of us have experienced it before—there's nothing worse than working for a company that doesn't practice what it preaches.  If you don't actually stand for the things you're talking about, how can your employees gain the trust you need for them to succeed? Today, we're talking about authenticity and why the “long game” in business means actually living up to what you say.  Joel Lalgee, aka The Realest Recruiter, joins us with insights from his 2 billion views of no-BS content on how companies and brands can truly earn employee trust.  Joel shares his take on building a personal brand, keeping creative energy alive, and why he cranks out videos every single day (yep, every day).

Matt Crawford speaks with educator and author Matthew Ferrence about his book, I Hate It Here, Please Vote for Me: Essays on Rural Decay. When a progressive college professor runs for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in a deeply conservative rural district, he loses. That's no surprise. But the story of how Ferrence loses and, more importantly, how American political narratives refuse to recognize the existence and value of nonconservative rural Americans offers insight into the political morass of our nation. Ferrence and I discuss how we feel voters are being spoken at instead of to and how the machine of politics makes some outcomes predetermined against the will of the people who vote for those exact outcomes. A great read at any time in our history but especially now.

When was the last time you felt truly creative at work? If your answer is "uh… never," then this episode is for you! Today, we're shaking up everything you thought you knew about HR.  We talk about how HR can move into the future by embracing creativity, joy, and collaboration.  My guest, Justin Gignac, is the ultimate collaborator and brainstorming guru, and we dive deep into how we can stop recreating the same old things in HR and start thinking outside the box.  We tackle why HR is often too self-conscious and fearful to take risks, and how bringing joy and bold ideas into the mix can transform how we connect with people and create better workplaces. For more than a decade, the world's most innovative brands and companies have trusted Working Not Working to help them discover and hire top-tier Creative talent.  Now, Working Not Working is helping to keep that talent with NTRNL— the new platform that unlocks employee passions and ignites productivity.

Send us a textWelcome back to another episode full of randomness, therapists, sassiness, and more! We are escaping from reality and wandering through the halls of a cold palace,  searching through the bushes of a secret garden, or frolicking down lunar hills... yes, that means we are breaking down Taylor Swift's song "I Hate It Here". Don't worry though, the topics may get heavy (looking at you American culture) but we keep it light with laughter (looking at you Cody's "global warming comments").  This week's Swiftie Spotlight (aka PEW PEW PEW): Castelvecchi Woodworks Make sure to stay tuned all the way through the end of the episode for a little commentary on Chappel Roan and getting gold stars from your therapist. If you own a Taylor Swift Fan Merch shop slide into our DMs over on Instagram!

In several ways, akin to the growing collective demographic of people who don't have children, the overlooked value of voter relevance & influence is too often dismissed by dominant political narratives. Tune in for this timely conversation with Matthew Ferrence, author of I Hate It Here, Please Vote for Me: Essays on Rural Political Decay (West Virginia University Press, 2024). In 2020, Matthew Ferrence ran for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, in a deeply-red district, and lost quite badly. In his newest book, he reflects on this experience to explore how American political narratives refuse to recognize the existence and value of nonconservative rural Americans, and how losing offers insight into the political morass of our nation. In I Hate It Here, Please Vote for Me he offers a counter-narrative to stereotypes of monolithic rural American voters and emphasizes that the ways stories are told about rural America are a source for the bitter divide between Red America and Blue America. Tune in live or on-demand to learn more about the underpinnings of the US political landscape and the need to recognize overlooked nonconservative voters in rural America.

Matthew Ferrence ran for office as a progressive in a rural district, and has a collection of essays titled I Hate It Here, Please Vote For Me that give his perspective on why it's important for Democrats to run in districts that aren't already "blue".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In every generation, there's a “chosen one”—but I'm not talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Right now, we've got five generations working side by side: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. So yeah, managing this mix isn't exactly a walk in the park.  This week, Dave Garcia has returned to dive into the wild world of multi-generational workforces and bring some clarity to it all.  We're busting some myths, breaking down what each generation really wants (spoiler: it's not all about avocado toast), and exploring how to lead a team that spans decades.  Whether you're trying to figure out how to get everyone on the same page or just curious about which generation started the job-hopping trend, this episode is packed with insights. 00:02:50 - How Many Companies Are Still Working With the Traditionalist Generation? 00:06:12 - Challenges With Managing a Multi-generational Workforce 00:10:30 - Using ChatGPT to Better Understand Generational Stereotypes 00:21:55 - Did Gen X Start the Trend of Job Hopping? 00:30:22 - Dave's Take on Gen Z 00:38:03 - How to Create an Inclusive Culture Among Such Diverse Generations 00:45:30 - Benefits of a Multi-generational Workforce 00:50:26 - The Best Leadership Style for Managing a Multi-generational Workforce 00:55:20 - How to Future Proof Your Organization  And if you love I Hate It Here, sign up to Hebba's newsletter!

Why are leaders so damn difficult to deal with sometimes?  It all comes down to "The Shadow of a Leader"—the unseen influence leaders have on workplace culture, performance, and relationships.  In this episode, Dave Garcia joins me to unpack this concept.  We dive into how every word, action, and decision from leaders impacts teams, often more than they realize.  We'll discuss why communication is a leader's most important tool, the nonverbal cues that leaders send, and how HR can help leaders recognize their blind spots.  Plus, Dave shares his personal experience with confronting his own leadership shadow. 00:01:41 - The Key to Maintaining Strong Relationships at Work 00:04:50 - The Shadow of a Leader Concept, Explained 00:09:37 - How The Shadow of a Leader Impacts Culture and Performance at Orgs 00:20:30 - Common Positive/Negative Shadows That Leaders Cast 00:26:43 - Why is Information so Inaccessible at Some Orgs? 00:32:23 - Examples of Leadership Shadows That Strongly Influenced Teams 00:42:15 - How Leaders Can Be More Aware of the Shadows They Cast 00:46:07 - A Time Dave Had to Confront His Own Leadership Shadow 00:56:00 - How Orgs Can Encourage Leaders to be Mindful of Their Shadows 01:01:16 - Advice For Emerging Leaders and The Shadows They Cast And if you love I Hate It Here, sign up to Hebba's newsletter!

People are at the core of everything we do at HR, but let's face it people—can be DIFFICULT.  Not because they have difficult personalities, but because no two people you meet are the same. Eventually, the things that make us different can create problems if we're not aware of how to exist across differences. A lot of the conflict at work can simply be between people who are just different. That complexity is exactly what we're unpacking today with Jennifer Laurie. In this episode, we're exploring how the things that make us all different can sometimes lead to workplace conflicts, and what HR can do to help everyone not just coexist but truly thrive together.  We're talking about fostering inclusive, equitable environments and how HR can bridge gaps and manage conflicts when personalities and perspectives clash. From discussing how to maintain strong relationships at work to handling power imbalances and supporting marginalized employees, we've got a lot to cover.  Jennifer shares her insights on why recognizing differences is crucial and offers practical advice for HR professionals navigating the evolving landscape of workplace diversity. 00:01:45 - The Key to Maintaining Strong Relationships at Work 00:04:08 - What Does Existing Across Differences Mean? 00:07:25 - Why Recognizing Differences is So Important Today 00:10:10 - How Does HR Help Employees Exist Across Their Differences? 00:12:50 - How to Learn Conflict Management, Even Without Resources 00:16:35 - How HR Can Address Power Imbalances Across Differences 00:20:00 - Supporting Employees Who Feel Marginalized 00:25:25 - Bridging the Gap Between Employees With Different Worldviews 00:29:42 - Common Obstacles With Building an Inclusive Environment 00:34:08 - Advice for HR Professionals New to Dealing With Diversity 00:37:42 - How Diversity is Evolving With the Addition of Global Employees 00:40:25 - What Initiatives Will Help HR With Diversity in the Coming Years?

Dr. Matthew Ferrence is an English professor at Allegheny College.  In 2020, he ran for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in a deeply red district and lost badly. In his new book, “I Hate It Here, Please Vote For Me: Essays on Rural Political Decay,” Ferrence chronicles his election defeat to explore how the American political narratives refuse to recognize the existence and value of rural progressive voters and how his election defeat offers insight into the politics of our nation. In essays focused on living in the countryside, the political power of poetry, and his landslide election loss, Ferrence offers a counter-narrative to stereotypes of rural American voters and emphasizes the misunderstanding of our Red-Blue divide.   Order the book: https://wvupressonline.com/I-Hate-It-Here-Please-Vote-For-Me Greg's Blog (subscribe!): http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/   #MattTerrence#MatthewTerrence#IHateItHere#PleaseVoteForMe#Campaigns#Electons#RuralPoltics#RedBlueDivide#PolticalScience#PolticalDecay#AlleghenyCollege#Meadville#BradleyRose#Poetry#PoetryBan#PennsylvaniaHouseofRepresentatives#ElectionReform#GreenParty#ToxicModeration#RuralRage#TheWisconsinIdea#AppalacihiaNorth#WendellBerry#Fetterman#FlyOverCountry#PatCummings#GregGodels#ZZBlog#ComingFromLeftField#ComingFromLeftFieldPodcast#zzblog#mltoday

We hate so much about things he chose to be. Let's get into it once and for all: was Toby Flenderson the worst HR representative in the history of TV? Or was he just trying his best to preserve his mental health from the wild antics of Dunder Mifflin? Hebba and special guest Kim Roher discuss some of television's best (and worst) portrayals of HR. Which fictional universes could have benefitted most from an HR rep (*cough* Silicon Valley *cough*)? And which real-life work sets were desperately in need of a decent CPO?   Yeah, Joss Whedon we're pointing a well-deserved finger at you.

There's nowhere safe you can go to avoid politics anymore. Social media? Forget about it. Family holidays? Highly unlikely. Work? Definitely not. So when, if ever, is talking politics at work a problem? And how should HR professionals handle the upcoming elections? Hebba and Jessica Winder (Senior VP of People at CoLab Software) break down how to handle the upcoming election season— how much is too much when it comes to allowing employees to talk about politics? And is there such a thing as workplaces not allowing employees to talk about politics enough? From the impact of political decisions on HR practices to creating a more respectful and inclusive culture, Jessica and Hebba also explore how to handle differing political opinions and the importance of aligning with company values. And stay tuned because later, they're dishing out some of the juiciest stories about social media political posting gone completely haywire… You won't want to miss this insanity!   And if you love I Hate It Here, sign up to Hebba's newsletter!

This weekend I was featured in the New York Times article, “So Human Resources is Making You Miserable.” And NGL… I may have ruffled a few feathers. But let's face it— the CPO/CHRO role is one of the hardest jobs out there, and there's going to be plenty of bad days to go around.

It's no surprise that I think HR and people leaders have one of the hardest roles at any organization. For me, it feels like sometimes we're not seen as true organizational partners. Or our role is so diminished and viewed as not important, yet everyone else in a business performs better because of the work that HR does. Coincidence? I think not! So, how can we finally be seen as key drivers to company growth, instead of the employee who puts out fires and pushes paperwork? My guest, Chris Haygood of Astute Edge, is here to shine a light on just how pivotal HR is when it comes to tackling big organizational challenges, not just the compliance stuff. We're diving into how the view of HR is changing, its strategic importance, and some hands-on tactics to help HR pros cement their role as key business influencers. Our chat also touches on the next decade of HR, including the role of AI and the need for HR leaders to be considered for CEO positions. It's time for HR leaders to finally be seen as strategic partners, because the success of our teams depend on it! 00:01:03 - Chris Hagood's Introduction and Credentials 00:03:20 - What is the Key to Maintaining Strong Relationships at Work? 00:05:19 - Why HR Leaders Struggle to Be Seen as True Partners 00:12:40 - Common Misconceptions Other Executives Have About HR 00:16:34 - How Does Organizational Structure Impact HR Influence? 00:22:38 - When Do You Need a Senior People Leader? 00:31:49 - The Legal Misconceptions Around HR Duties 00:38:12 - The Exciting Potential of HR in the Next 10 Years 00:45:15 - How Organizations Should Perceive and Integrate HR Leaders 00:53:19 - Advice For HR Leaders Struggling to be Seen as Strategic Partners And if you love I Hate It Here, sign up to Hebba's newsletter!

We all know TJ Lavin hates quitters. But real life isn't “The Challenge.” And sometimes, quitting is the only option when you're burnt-out, stressed out, unacknowledged, and at your wit's end. So what leads employees to quit? More importantly, what's the one thing a company could do to cause someone to hand in their two weeks notice without pause? This past season, I've asked each of my guests one simple question to find the root cause of employee dissatisfaction— “What would cause you to quit?” And in this episode, we're taking a look at the best answers my all-star roster of HR experts had to give.

SummaryEver heard of “maladaptive daydreaming” before? Well… it seems like our girl Taylor has! In this episode deep dive on “I Hate It Here,” Sara and Laura go into secret gardens, lunar valleys and their own personal nostalgic associations with TTPD's most literary song! Is this song proof that Taylor used escapism through her toughest times to write folklore, evermore and Midnights? Who the hell is the “finance guy”? Is there a tie in with “seven” and “But Daddy I Love Him”? Is there perhaps a metaphor of being closeted?

With grandiose job descriptions, and rose-tinted portrayals of the workplace, is it really any wonder there are a lot of problems in recruiting boiling underneath the surface?? A lot of retention problems actually start in the recruiting process..  Is it that far of a stretch to understand why new hires are noping out of fresh jobs in the first six months? Def not.  In the quest to find the perfect hire, job descriptions and interview tactics often portray a false image of what the position actually entails. So why aren't recruiters being more honest about the roles they're hiring for? Hebba chats with Talent Acquisition Consultant and Content Creator Rhona Pierce about how the recruitment system is broken and what HR can do to fix it. How can recruiters be more honest about job descriptions and work culture in their hiring practices? Hebba and Rhona debate if there's a way to make employees understand the full scope of a job's duties during the interview process before revealing some of the best practical strategies that can help retain, attract, and engage qualified talent.  00:00:10 - Recruiting Misconceptions: Valuable Talent Acquisition 00:02:52 - Company Actions That Prompt Immediate Resignation 00:05:01 - Navigating the Gap Between Job Expectations and Reality 00:09:28 - Why People Quit 00:15:14 - Is Recruiting Broken? 00:19:26 - Truth in Interviews 00:23:47 - Asking Questions Before Accepting a Job 00:27:24 - Navigating the Current Job Market 00:36:51 - Transparent Recruiting: Setting Clear Expectations 00:39:35 - Aligning Job Expectations Through Communication 00:44:15 - Maximizing Preparation for Successful Hiring Reach every worker with Firstup's intelligent communication platform.

In HR, quitting is a part of the job. But no one talks about what happens when HR is ready to quit HR.  RyanMae McAvoy, Senior Director of People Operations at Blackthorn.io, joins Hebba to unpack quitting from an HR-centric point of view. When is it time to call it quits? And what factors are the primary motivators behind discontentedness in HR?  RyanMae and Hebba break down the emotional aspects of leaving a job, explain why community is pivotal in decision-making, and reveal the greatest challenges faced by HR professionals on a day-to-day basis. They also dive into the role of empathy, boundary-setting, and personal acknowledgment in creating a happier workplace.  Why are so many HR professionals contemplating quitting? And why does it so often feel like HR is on an island of its own? Together, Hebba and RyanMae shed light on the often neglected aspect of HR professionals contemplating leaving the field.   Reach every worker with Firstup's intelligent communication platform.

Distinguished colleagues, valued partners, and cherished members of our workplace community, thank you for gathering here today. As a humble representative of the HR department, it is my distinct honor, and undeniable displeasure, to present to you: The State of the HR Union.Compliance training is now shorter with a 'skip to the end' button, because we know you'll never read them. Performance reviews have a new system, "Remember, Remember, the Performance in November," because we know managers forget everything until the last minute. Our wellness program introduces "Stretch and Snack" every Wednesday, and team-building now includes HR-organized escape rooms with company policy riddles — fun and educational.In closing, thank you for your efforts, not that we're really keeping track. Remember, HR is here — mostly because we have to be. Whether you need vague guidance, questionable support, or just someone to pretend to care about your wellbeing, we've got you covered.HRDLY Guest: Hebba Youssef is the Chief People Officer at Workweek and founder and creator of “I Hate it Here.” Her weekly newsletter has over 130,000 engaged readers and focuses on how HR/People teams can build great work cultures.

Change doesn't come easy— in fact, it can be downright disruptive, And worse yet, it's often at the forefront of employee turnover. So how can HR leaders prevent change from becoming an unmanageable force?  Keynote speaker Tiffany Lanier drops by to chat with Hebba about the widespread impact of organizational change, and to explain how massive restructuring can impact employee well-being.  Having helped thousands of leaders develop systems of support during intense change, Tiffany reveals why change management is a core skill for HR professionals. She explains how, by embracing change, employees can improve their personal well-being and implement practical strategies for creating space for future disruptions.  Tiffany also addresses the different needs and personalities of employees during times of change, from therapy and counseling to the prioritization of spending time alone and sticking to common rituals and routines.  Whether you're undergoing organizational restructuring or dealing with other consequences of change, you won't want to miss out on these actionable tips to help you prioritize employee well-being.   Reach every worker with Firstup's intelligent communication platform.

It's BM time again and that means it's time for another episode this week Monday! This time our number one fan Brian is back with more great stuff and even more great things to talk about. Since it's his third appearance on the show and we don't have an official Bubbles Mushrooms smoking jacket for him, he has created a suggestion for the number one fan prize! Brian also completed our request from his first appearance on the show and finally made our Bubbles Mushrooms transformer - it's a mushroom that transforms into our dead dog, Bubbles!

Can we save all of the stupid places that we hate by filling them with joy? Will the DMV have live bands like Primus performing? Can we make the podcast studio better by filling it with rocks? What if the circus had caged clown children? Will Brian wear an "I'm Poor" sign on his big date? How can we fix the Ohio Turnpike? Find out this week on Bubbles Mushrooms!

Since last fall, we've spoken/joked/laughed/cried with hundreds of HR leaders and change makers about the Future of HR and the industry's evolutionary tipping point.

Oh, boy! Climate change is an issue we can all afford to wait to do something about, or at least that's how congress tells it. Manchin wants to kill the Democrats in the midterms before blaming Republicans for not passing that bill he won't sign off on. COVID is still rampant, Border Patrol is still out of control, Climate Change is still destroying our infrastructure, but the blue no matter who guy is president so I guess it doesn't matter anymore. And finally, come on AOC, support your local bodega! This week on I Hate It Here!

What a week! We talk Afghanistan, wasted cash, a pandemic with no healthcare, and how that's a lesson the US isn't willing to learn. We also dig into Radio, Joe Biden's half ass apology, the conservatives open embrace of right wing terrorism- looking at you, Mo Brooks- and the things we would buy if we had US War Money. It's still infrastructure week, this week, on I Hate It Here.

Howdy, everyone! Happy Wednesday. This might be "LEEETERLY" one of Lindsey and Randi's favorite movies to talk about, even if the entire episode isn't coherent. You know how it is on Completely Unqualified by now. But, this week, thanks to Connor's recommendation from "I Love It Here, I Hate It Here" podcast, we watched Moonlight (2016). Everybody say thank you, Barry Jenkins. Randi and Lindsey talked about the cinematography and revolutionary filmmaking decisions the cast and crew made to bring this masterpiece of a movie to life. Make sure you watch this one, folks. Thanks to your voting in our poll on social media, we can officially announce what film series we're watching for the next few weeks on Completely UNQ!! You decided on...the Harry Potter saga! We can't wait to watch these movies with you all. Lindsey and Randi have been lifelong fans of the franchise, so if we're qualified on any movie series, it's this one. We have read the material, ladies and gents. So, join us next week by watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and keeping up to date on our social media by following us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (@completelyUNQ).

The guys celebrate the anniversary of an infamous soccer moment. Then we discuss infrastructure, a lot of it, and why the US needs it. Why America is a third world country, suggestions for the name of this episode, and maybe why we shouldn't have memed our way through the conservatives having a crisis. The GOP is a cult of identity and nothing more. This week on I Hate It Here.

I HATE IT HERE! Whew! Who wants to be all vulnerable all the time? Not me! However, I'm finding so much STRENGTH in vulnerability! Man! I decided to take the risk and be vulnerable and I've reaped soooo many rewards! I guess I would've never known until I tried.

Mass shootings? A president telling you there's no justification for looting while they try to justify a senseless murder by police of yet another unarmed black man? Florida Republicans embroiled in a sex trafficking scandal? Leftist infighting? Neo-Liberal platitudes? So many shootings we're losing track of them? America's back, baby! So is Eddie! This week on I Hate It Here.

Hello podcast pals! Episode 11 is here to enjoy! Steven and Connor have a juicy one for you. Well, the end is juicy. If you've spent any time near a news channel in the last week, you'd know that some things have happened in the American political world. If you don't care much for politics, we'd recommend skipping 31:10 to 42:20. But if you don't mind, feel free to listen at full speed ahead. The hosts also talk about wearing pants on the subway, the durability of babies' heads, and more! Steven is planning on watching How to Build a Better Boy on Disney+ and giving a brief review of it. If you have Disney+ and want to watch along, be our guest! It sounds like a riveting movie.

YET ANOTHER TULSA FOOTBALL GAME WAS CANCELED ("postponed") I HATE IT HERE. With the extra time due to no game recap, we dive deep into the SMU game - a rivalry game with massive implications. A win on Saturday gets Tulsa ranked for the first time in a decade. We go in on the Mustangs' coaching staff, key players, notable injures, our thoughts on the matchup, and more.

UGH, I HATE IT HERE. There's no feeling like having a few drinks and then you put on one of your favorite moody RnB songs, then that snowballs into a whole mixtape. I feel everyone needs this type of mix in their life for when that time comes around when you want to express your feelings, or you simply just want to go through the moods. This is filled with some of my favorite chilled RnB, "Channel X," Nu-RnB vibes from the likes of Drake, Bryson Tiller, Dvsn, Post Malone, & many more.
