Jocelyn found another way to get more money, and Jade says it was her, and she got out of it. It’s episode 100, they said they’d do something big, life been lifin’, so they got on the soapbox instead: roundabouts, potholes, the Flock camera officers, a state tax audit, and why AI is not your friend. Whether you’re navigating a paycheck that doesn’t stretch, a tax letter you didn’t deserve, or a roundabout nobody knows how to use, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday.
