About this listen

Welcome to The Trash Factory—where workplace drama meets water cooler chaos. Hosted by your most inappropriate HR pal, this podcast blends jaw-dropping corporate catastrophes with piping-hot takes on current events, trash TV, and all the messy headlines you’re secretly obsessed with. From awkward overshares and desk disasters to reality show recaps and WTF news stories, nothing’s off-limits. It’s part HR horror show, part pop culture confessional, and 100% unhinged. Names are changed, but the bad behavior is very, very real. Grab your coffee (or wine) and clock in for the chaos.

    In this week’s installment, we dive headfirst into the saga of the Chrisleys — bless all their hearts. From prison sentences to prime time, we unpack what it means to fall from grace and stage a glittery, God-fearing comeback. Plus, we spotlight a fresh-faced new hire with a little too much hustle in their heart — is overhelping a hidden hazard? Grab your mug, darlin', 'cause this episode is spillin’ sweet tea, some history, my cohost Cricket and workplace truth.

  • Brain Fog, Butt Fog, and the Delco Pooper
    May 21 2025

    What do perimenopause, Nutrafol-induced gas, a rogue ultrasound probe, and a tampon gone missing have in common? Just another day at The Trash Factory.

    Vivi’s officially in her perimenopause era—and the brain fog is so real her own daughter is roasting her memory loss. We’re talking smelly side effects, ovaries ghosting us, and the time a nurse friend encountered a scent so foul it could summon demons. Oh—and we finally discuss the legend of the Delco Pooper, plus how to handle that coworker who smells like a wet rag in a hot car.

    It’s medical, it’s messy, it’s mildly traumatic. You’re gonna love it.


    Trigger Warning for EXTREMELY nasty nurse story at 24:28 - 28:20. I loved it but am here for those with sensitive gag reflexes.

  • 9 to 5 Still Hits Harder Than Your Boss’s Passive Aggression
    May 12 2025

    This week on The Trash Factory, we're rewinding to 1980 to revisit the iconic workplace comedy, 9 to 5—a film that gave us fantasy revenge, coffee-fueled rebellion, and the ultimate "stick it to the man" energy. We break down how the film's toxic boss, wage gaps, and office politics are still very much alive today. It’s a retro ride with some painfully current themes, served up with the usual Trash Factory sass. Spoiler: HR still wouldn't know what to do with Dolly Parton, and we love her for it.


    Please leave a 5-Star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. If you're not sure what to say, just plug in "stay trashy" or "I'm a Garbage Pail Kid" because that helps this little pod that could in a BIG way.

    Hope you enjoy and don’t be shy—hit me up on social media or via email:
