Episode 74: Cutting The Cheese, Spilling The Beans, & More with Jo Firestone

This week we are so lucky to have on one of the funniest people I
know, the incredible Jo Firestone! You may know Jo from Shrill on
Hulu, The Tonight Show, Joe Pera Talks To You, or that CSA she's
been getting too many vegetables at each week. We discuss our
cooking habits and what to do when you have an overhaul of fresh
vegetables (hint: make a soup)! But of course we get into all of
the jobs Jo had before she was the success you know & love
today and that started at the local food court. Jo got to pass
out the chicken samples at Little Tokyo at the mall and she was
too honest to keep the job. She then moved onto a pizza place
that surprised her with pop quizzes, and landed a gig at an apple
orchard. One of her best jobs was working as the kid's
entertainer at the apple orchard as "Farmer Jo!" And then when
she moved to NY she worked in a coffee shop and catering, and we
get into the food service stories. But her favorite job was
playing a casting director for someone's marriage proposal! The
stories in this episode are hilarious and if you love Jo, this is
a must listen! Find Jo on IG at @yoyofirestone and watch Shrill
on Hulu!
