WE HAVE 100 REGULAR EPISODES!!! THAT IS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF MY VOICE IN YOUR EARS AND GUESTS SURPRISING ME WITH STORIES OF GUESTS BEING HORRIBLE! We are grateful in a way we continually cannot express appropriately, so just know we are so, so glad. Thank you. We literally cannot do this without you. Look for a special drop in the next few days to celebrate.

Patreon is our life blood. We know you get this shit for free. Cool. You know it costs a ton to do, right? If you don't have the means to subscribe, how about you rate/review this bad boy? It helps a TON. Truly. patreon.com/thekategaffney is how you REALLY help! Art is hard! Art is expensive! LA is a cess pool of money being stripped from us daily! Help!

Why Is Working in Customer Service SO Difficult?
Because people think their individual needs supersede the needs of the majority. And, they act accordingly.
