This was such a fuggin sweet hi-larious show, one of those ones to make a note of as a show to introduce new listeners with.

The stuff about Chemda fucking with people on the "What do you do for a living?" was great. One trick is to come up with a weird but believable job that'll shut down that line real quick. No one will be impressed if you say astronaut or Formula One driver, but if you say your job is to manually masturbate bulls or check gas levels in the sewers they'll be pretty keen to change the subject. Hopefully.

Another way is to try and cut someone off at the pass for the "What do you do for a living?" Fuck talking about work when you're not at work, most people you talk to aren't helicopter pilots, cops or scientists and I don't want to hear about your sales targets, law cases or programming solutions. Try and get in a "What do you do for fun?" before the "What do you do for a living?" and hope they actually have a life outside work. Of course, in a way this is more risky because if they don't have a life outside work then it's just depressing, but what the hell, live on the edge for once.
