    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.#TheTrashFactoryPod #Nutrafol #TheDelcoPooper #NurseLifeUnfiltered
  • 9 to 5 Still Hits Harder Than Your Boss’s Passive Aggression

    32:37|
    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.

  • Is This a Job or a Cult?

    31:18|
    In this episode of The Trash Factory, we ask the big question: is your job a cult—or just really bad at boundaries? We dive into the pyramid-shaped nightmare of MLMs, question why some “non-profits” seem to profit a lot, and somehow end up talking about Pedro Pascal (because obviously). Grab your lanyard, chant the mission statement, and prepare for some light indoctrination with a side of gossip.Please leave a 5-Star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

  • 18. When Jokes and Rockets Don't Land

    33:32||Ep. 18
    ​In the latest episode of The Trash Factory, ViVi dives into two recent public spectacles that missed the mark. First, she critiques Blue Origin's all-female spaceflight and then unpacks how a failed workplace joke lead to a career crash and burn. It’s feminism, capitalism, and comedy—all getting the messy treatment they deserve.  Please leave me a 5-Star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
