    Episode 54 - Upon Further Review
    Jan 7 2026
    New year, new you… and unfortunately, new coworkers too. 🫠Gina & Gary kick off 2026 with a slightly upgraded setup, suspiciously high optimism, and the familiar false hope that this year will be different... at least professionally. With resolution season in full swing, they ask the only question that really matters: what fresh corporate chaos is waiting for us on day one?From first-day nerves and “new beginnings” energy to the immediate realization that something is off, this episode dives into the uniquely cursed experience of starting a new job. Because nothing says “fresh start” like discovering the role you just accepted is actually a scam, a glorified apprenticeship, or a slow-motion HR violation — and you haven’t even learned where the bathroom is yet.🧑‍💼 First Day From Hell (A Collection)A job offer that starts at a funeral and somehow only gets worse — surprise apprenticeship, insultingly low pay, and a workplace so toxic the kids deserve hazard pay 🚩⚰️Holiday retail onboarding at its finest: no training, no guidance, and management suggesting you memorize the store layout on your own time because “initiative” 🛍️🧠A first solo delivery route featuring locked keys, soaked clothes, an angry stranger, and the kind of day that makes you quietly drop the truck off and never return 🚚💦A too-good-to-be-true “sales job” that turns into a strip-mall death march — complete with Axe body spray, frosted tips, and a trunk full of items that absolutely should not be sold together 🎒🧴🧊 Break Room Check-InCat TV diplomacy, Juniper’s medicine schedule, and Samson trying to fight the birds through the screen 🐦📺Ethernet cords: convenient, lethal, and apparently placed by tiny kitchen gremlins (sorry, Gina) 🖥️🩹Plus: Fallout love, Stranger Things disappointment discourse, and Gary hitting Twitch affiliate like it’s his new full-time job 🎮✨📰 News Break: Because Reality Is Still WeirdTattoos and your immune system (commitment issues, but make it scientific) 🖋️🧬Medieval Wales: a women-only cemetery mystery with chapel vibes and bone pins 👀🏰Tooth gems: cute when done right, cursed when done in someone’s kitchen 💎🦷Gaming on resumes = hiring managers judging you for having joy 🕹️📄AI interviewing college applicants (because anxiety wasn’t already a full-time major) 🤖🎓And of course: 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse — aka “act boldly, quit dramatically, and stop letting snake-year energy waste your time” 🐎🔥If your New Year’s resolution includes a fresh start, a new job, or simply surviving your first day without rage-blackout… this one’s for you.🧾 New episodes every Wednesday at 5 AM📩 Send your stories: NeedNotApplyPod@gmail.com📲 Follow us: @neednotapplypodSee you at the water cooler… and don’t forget to punch out. 🧊💪

    Episode 53 - Self-Improvement Has Side Effects
    Dec 31 2025
    New year, new you… and somehow everyone else’s worst behavior too. 💪😵‍💫As resolution season kicks off, Gina & Gary wade into the chaos of gym culture at its absolute peak; from power-tripping regulars and impossible-to-cancel memberships to a man who refuses to stop loudly moaning his way through a workout, clearing rooms and testing the limits of public decency. Add post-holiday retail burnout, malicious compliance victories, and the familiar realization that self-improvement season brings out the least improved versions of people...and you’ve got another unhinged trip to the workplace-adjacent twilight zone.🏋️‍♀️ On Today’s Episode…A gym “regular” goes full rage-mode when asked to stop acting like a menace 🧓💥The gym customer who refused to stop making… loud “adult” noises (yes, really) 😳🔊The contract cancellation saga from hell — certified mail, fees, and a surprise clause that flips the script 📬🧾A delicious bait-and-switch cancellation move that deserves a slow clap 👏😈🧊 Life Updates from the Break RoomRetail holiday aftermath: returns, exchanges, and “it’s never actually slow” energy 🎁↩️Snow/ice check-in + the rare “smart shoveling decision” ✅❄️Tech chaos + “oops did we go live?” moments because we are professional-ish 😅📡Streaming check-in + the road to Twitch affiliate (50 is right there) 🎮🔥Cozy distractions: Stanley cup thoughts, Secret Santa wins, and a Govee star projector that the cats may or may not be obsessed with 🌌🐈📰 News Break: Weird Science & Future Dystopia (Our Favorite)Plant-based hair serum that may boost regrowth in weeks 🌿🧴Cyborg cockroach spies (Madagascar hissing roaches… with backpacks??) 🪳🎥Wood + salt = biodegradable plastic that avoids microplastics (science said “fine, I’ll do it myself”) 🌳🧂Russia planning a nuclear power plant on the moon within a decade… because priorities 🌙⚛️Humans doing math before numbers existed via ancient floral pottery patterns 🌸➗Intermittent fasting + brain-gut connection (and what it might mean for appetite & behavior) 🧠🦠AI driving a global RAM shortage — your tech may get pricier, and Gary is personally offended 💻📈📌 Catch Us at the Water CoolerIf your resolution is “get swole” 💪 or “survive society” 🫠 — we’ve got you.✅ New episodes every Wednesday at 5 AM📩 Send your stories: NeedNotApplyPod@gmail.com📲 IG + TikTok: @neednotapplypod📺 YouTube: Need Not Apply PodcastSee you at the water cooler… and don’t forget to punch out. 🧊🕔👊

  • Episode 52 - Naughty List Energy

    Episode 52 - Naughty List Energy
    Dec 24 2025
    🎧 New episode delivers:✅ holiday workplace nonsense✅ boundaries vs guilt✅ cursed animal facts✅ and chaotic banter that probably should’ve been two episodesLive from New Jersey on a Saturday night, Gina & Gary are officially deep in the holiday trenches — running on retail exhaustion, questionable sleep, margaritas, and pure millennial spite. This episode kicks off with seasonal chaos, nostalgic movie tangents, and the existential realization that mandatory cheer is one of the most aggressive workplace policies of all.From forgotten invitations to forced festivities, Episode 52 is all about where work crosses the line during the holidays — and why “it’s tradition” is not a valid excuse. The duo unpacks multiple AITAH stories that prove December turns coworkers into villains, managers into cowards, and company parties into social experiments no one consented to. Along the way, they debate boundaries, professionalism, retaliation-by-politeness, and the quiet power of saying “no” and meaning it.As if that weren’t enough, the episode detours into bizarre science (organ transplants changing personalities??), truly unhinged animal facts (wombat poop is apparently a dating app), and a very real conversation about whether AI is making us smarter… or slowly hollowing out our brains like a chocolate Santa. Sprinkle in domestic heroics, retail war stories, and classic Gina & Gary banter, and you’ve got an episode that feels exactly like the week before Christmas: too long, slightly unhinged, and weirdly validating.😈 The Naughty List Stories“The Company Party I Wasn’t Invited To” — OP gets mysteriously excluded from a Secret Santa + holiday party… then gets called in on their day off to save the shift. The audacity is festive. 🎅❄️“Don’t Decorate My Desk, Thanks” — a coworker covers OP’s desk in Christmas décor despite OP planning a Yule setup (and being very open about their beliefs). Forced cheer meets workplace boundaries. 🕯️🖤🎄“Trade Shifts Because I Have a Kid” — coworker demands a Christmas shift swap because they’re a parent. Spoiler: having a kid isn’t a scheduling coupon. 🧾🎁“Everyone Got a Raffle Gift Except Me” — AirPods, TVs, GoPros… and OP is the only one left empty-handed. Innocent oversight or villain origin story? 🎟️😬🧠 Article BreakCan organ transplants alter your personality? Taste changes, mood shifts, and the unsettling idea that your organs might remember things. 🫀🧪Wombats have square poop… and it might be a dating app. Nature remains feral and efficient. 🧱💩💌Is AI making our brains lazier? Studies on cognitive “atrophy,” over-trusting tools, and why thinking for yourself still matters. 🤖🧠⚠️🧼 Distractions of the WeekGina battles retail burnout, gift wrapping, and holiday overstimulation like a seasoned warrior. 💄🎁Gary cleans the apartment, wins a customer-service saga, and restores order through spite and persistence. 🧺🧼🎮📲 Follow us: @NeedNotApplyPod (IG/TikTok) | @NeedNotApplyPodcast (Youtube)📩 Submit your stories: neednotapplypod@gmail.com⭐ If this episode made you feel seen, exhausted, or vindicated — follow, rate, and share it with your favorite work ally.
