Evil Clocks Out
Work-life balance is important, even for evil alien syndicate generals.This week, Jo and Sal review Episode 1 of Mr. Villain's Day Off, following a ruthless commander who refuses to do any evil on his designated rest days.The General’s strict "no-work" policy gets us thinking about our own messy schedules. We take a quick detour to talk about the toxic hustle of podcasting, how hard it is to actually disconnect, and we try to calculate the last time either of us took a genuine day off without checking emails or editing audio.Of course, we also gush over the General’s intense love for Earth's pandas, debate the best convenience store ice creams shown in the episode, and decide if a love for fluffy creatures can truly save humanity from total destruction.Hit play for big laughs, cozy vibes, a bit of self-reflection, and absolute panda appreciation!
