Work is like sex or food — you’re either getting it or looking for it. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. (correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) explores the human condition every week through the prism of employment. Roy sits down with real people from ALL lines of work about their most memorable jobs, employment vacancies they're looking to fill, scams they've run at the office, and of course, the cringe-worthy office romances. Roy's famed humor is matched by his true empathy and curiosity for people. Join him on an entertaining exploration into the battle all of us fight every day. Balancing our need to provide with our need for emotional fulfillment. Learn from the people who got it right. Laugh with the rest of us, who constantly get it wrong. Welcome to the Job Fair.

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.

What does a game tester do? How to become one, and the leaps and bounds the industry takes to ensure video games are ready for action.  

Is Roy fair in adding GameStop to his growing list of the most duplicitous places on Earth, or is GameStop’s existence a by-product of the growing greed of video game publishers? Two former video game testers (one a former GameStop employee) add perspective to these topics.

Each team member shares their favorite video games of all time, and some classics still hold up. But will you agree?

Basketball legend turned businessman Shaquille O'Neal attempts to distance himself from a growing crypto scandal. Pusha T cuts ties with Kanye West, and @Rod4Short defends the largest domestic airline in the U.S., Southwest Airlines. 

This episode is brought to you by the Wright Brothers and the biracial advantage.
