Post Travel Corporate Hangover

After surviving a national meeting with over 500 people, Jeremy returns home physically broken and sounding like a man who swallowed a gravel smoothie. In this episode, we unpack the true cost of corporate travel: the exhaustion, the time‑zone whiplash, the questionable buffet food, and the moment your voice gives up on you entirely.

Jimmy immediately seizes the opportunity to roast Jeremy’s new vocal identity over and over which is very hurtful (He should be ashamed)

Plus, Jeremy & Jimmy share their Post‑Travel Survival Tips, a guide for anyone who’s ever returned from a work trip feeling 20 years older and 40% dehydrated.

If you’ve ever dragged yourself home from a corporate event wondering why your body feels like it was hit by a bus full of sales reps, this episode is your emotional support animal.
