Summary

We'll be the ones brave enough to say it: Donkey Kong's office behavior is unprofessional, and James shouldn't be bringing that energy to the workplace. This week we're helping you through all sorts of sticky situations, including deflecting your barber's house pig soft sell, disguising your flatulent footwear, and literally begging a flight attendant to let you go to the bathroom. Suggested talking points: James Kong, Bad Pigs Only, That’s Life, Lazlo’s Hierarchy of Needs, Empty Unglazed Shell, I Left My Wallet in California Immigrant Defenders Law Center: https://www.immdef.org/
