    Burn Out, Burnt Out

    Roy shares big news about the future of the podcast as it relates to his time at “The Daily Show.”  Which leads to talking to a guest about burn out. The cause, the symptoms and how can you turn it around.  The team chops it up with a HR heavyweight who once fired 100 people in 8 hours. He breaks down the mistakes we make in job interviews and what you should be asking for to put your best foot forward.  Plus – tips for negotiating a salary that can help you tactfully and confidently ask for what you want, including a company car. He also breaks down what companies get right (and wrong) about diversifying their work force.  An impromptu Rod’s Relationship Fair is on deck – and the issues revolve around a pastor who met a woman at work and it looks like she is not interested in being his first lady.  How much would your city have to pay you to move to a rural area? The city of Tokyo has started the bidding at $8,000.   The newest member of the Roy’s Job Fair two-timer club, DJ Rasta Root, producer and former manager of the late Phife Dawg and A Tribe Called Quest, breaks down the making of Phife’s posthumous album Forever.

    From Rap to Politics

    The first platinum-selling Hip Hop artist in the U.S. to win elected office – The Honorable Dupré L. Kelly –slides through to talk about governing where he grew up in Newark, NJ, after selling millions of records with the group Lords Of The Underground. (Back when he was known as ‘DoItAll’). He also breaks down the early days of the east coast hip-hop scene and how New Jersey is often left out of the conversation. Thomas Lennon (Lieutenant Dangle, without his hot pants) joins the crew just in time for the release of the movie "Reno 911! It's a Wonderful Heist," premiering December 3rd on Comedy Central and then on the Paramount Plus App.  The New York Times Best Selling author opens up about his worst job and how his relationship with real law enforcement evolved over the years as ‘Reno 911’ grew. The screenwriter also shares the best advice he can recall and throws shade and praise.  Can a ventriloquist cross the line?  An email regarding comedian Jeff Dunham’s visit to the show leads the team to explore that question as they also discover that @RodForShort might have a ventriloquist act that could stir the pot even more than anything Jeff Dunham has ever conjured up.  This episode is brought to you by ‘Narado & The Wiz,’ coming soon to a city near you.  Catch Roy alongside Jon Hamm in “Confess, Fletch,” STREAMING NOW ON SHOWTIME.

    Jeff Dunham

    He’s a dude who has spent his entire life talking to little guys on his knee, the puppet master and host of ‘The Jeff Dunham Podcast,’ Jeff Dunham shares what drives him, the disrespect ventriloquists sometimes get from stand-up comedians, the times he genuinely doubts his career and how he navigates cancel culture with such an eclectic array of dummies by his side.   The best-selling author with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame also tackles the tough questions too. Like, what is a ventriloquist dummy called? Jeff and his eccentric ensemble return for his 11th stand-up special ‘Jeff Dunham: Me the People’ premiering Friday, November 25, on Comedy Central and then streaming on the Paramount + App.  The team also speaks with a public relations officer who breaks down what it’s like to be the man who escorts members of the media into foreign combat zones and why some journalists choose to walk away.  Do pineapples belong in the banana pudding? Jacqueline is infuriated.  What do you do if you steal something from a TV news crew but don’t know how to use it? Them boys in Memphis got creative.  @Rod4Short reports celebrity Jeopardy takes a wild turn and Mike Tyson's cannabis brand helped him to offer a CBD-infused olive branch to Evander Holyfield, and his ear.  Enjoying Roy’s Job Fair?
