Join Mike in the studio late at night.

After fighting a long, drawn-out battle to some stubborn window blinds, I give in and just get on with the show. Starting with listener comments about their absolute worst job interviews. Then an update on my continuing job hunt gets me thinking about how my lifestyle lately is fitting for these palindrome days of May — the same forwards and backwards: Drinking coffee, job hunting, delivering food, job hunting, drinking coffee.

Also: thoughts on the new “Mission: Impossible” (Spoiler-free because the plot’s too complicated to spoil)…and how my dad and I came close to being pariahs in the theater for ratting out a lady and her granddaughter.

Then we wrap up the show by watching an instructional video telling us all how to talk cool in the 90’s, and read some more listener comments about Tetraphobia. A true palindrome experience. Sit back and listen with your favorite after-dark drink — but be careful not to get bucked, y’all!
