Like most people, Darwin and Cat have had their fair share of coworkers from hell—and in this two-part episode, they’re all making an appearance.

In Part One, meet the infamous colleague with questionable hygiene, the Jesus Freak, the oddly specific “Black Jewish NASCAR fan,” the know-it-all who impulsively bought a gas station, and the "third wheel" we were SURE was decades older than he actually was.

But wait—there’s more! Tune in next week, where we dive even deeper into the dredges of workplace humanity with Co-workers from Hell, Part Two.

On this week’s episode, the duo dives deep into their nerdy radio roots. From Cat’s wild teenage adventures hanging out at KROQ with Rodney on the Roq and the Poorman – including a truly bizarre Ric Ocasek story – to Darwin’s obsession with distant AM stations and his college radio days with his first on-air partner – this episode is a love letter to the magic of radio. Along the way, they revisit the golden age of Casey Kasem countdowns, the rise of WEQX, and a surreal night involving Chris Barron (Spin Doctors), Rob Dickinson (Catherine Wheel), and Mike Doughty (Soul Coughing). It’s a story of fandom, questionable decisions, weird coincidences, and how two awkward kids with a love of radio ended up behind the mic together.

In their early days at WZMR, Darwin and Cat made the rookie mistake of accepting low salaries without negotiating for more. From a disastrous first meeting with inedible food to an awkward attempt at shaming management into a raise with a game called, “Who Makes More?” — the duo shares their frustrations with the station's undervaluation of their work. Hear about a bizarre meeting that included foot-related topics, triple coupons, a seven million dollar check, and the weirdest meeting notes ever.
