– is it ok to continue to break yourself at work if the pay is less than $20 an hour and you get no health benefits?

How to Make a Robot Curse

rafe and caleb get completely distracted by dictionary.com‘s robot word pronunciation. it sucks because only caleb’s got recorded. rafe tried a couple of times (cool story bro) but it’s just dead air. rafe starts her college class soon and caleb’s ending his. chaos all around – and yes, rafe tries so ask caleb if he’s slaanesh like a total nerd. kitten! there’s a kitten! caleb talks about the end of undergrad life and meeting another caleb. rafe is still saying “like” way too much and caleb uses dictionary.com too much. rafe’s buddy ginger finds the best chrome extension ever (involving butts, of course). caleb talks about dudeOMG! because talking about other podcasts is a thing now. related, caleb accidentally reconnects with an old friend. rafe and caleb hated this week’s sam rockwell movie, last exit to brooklyn. songs were a little better, being songs about new york. the bright place is about never giving up on your education. don’t forget to like rafe hates caleb on facebook and follow rafe or caleb on twitter to stay in the loop with all their shenanigans.
