In this episode of the No Fixed Agenda Podcast, the hosts delve into their personal experiences with some of the worst jobs they've ever had. From monotonous tasks like detasseling corn and staring at conveyor belts, to hazardous work environments in a canning factory pit, and even traumatic incidents involving severed fingers and black water floods, they share it all. They reflect on how these early job experiences were character-building and discuss how their current roles in customer service are a far cry from those grueling jobs. Along the way, the laughs, lessons, and a bit of horror make this episode a rollercoaster of emotions.
