The Trash Factory

In this week’s installment, we dive headfirst into the saga of the Chrisleys — bless  all  their hearts. From prison sentences to prime time, we unpack what it means to fall from grace and stage a glittery, God-fearing comeback. Plus, we spotlight a fresh-faced new hire with a little too much hustle in their heart — is overhelping a hidden hazard? Grab your mug, darlin', 'cause this epis...

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 d...

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 Tra...

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....

​In the latest episode of The Trash Factory , Vivi dives into more water cooler talk. We said goodbye to Pope Francis this week and we are talking about how the boardroom could really learn a thing or two about how to treat people. More fun facts about history, the conclave, and the EEOC. Please leave a 5-Star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. If you're not sure what to say, just plug in "stay...

​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. If y...

Hey Y'all! The Trash Factory family was on the road this weekend, recording in south Georgia. The audio quality might also be trash but mama tried. My daughter Linda is back, with her boyfriend J.D. Vivi was a tad tipsy, so this episode is a hot, smelly dumpster fire.  Trigger Warning: animal death at 24 minute mark. Fast forward 2 minutes if you would rather not hear the ugly truth. #rabies #theo...

It's Dumpster Nugget time. Nothing says more about your character, or lack thereof,  than faking a person's death for a paid vacation and this happens more often than you would think.
