Here's a brief excerpt from this episode.

If you’ve ever been a mindless drone in the workplace being yelled at by an irate customer or been an irate customer exasperated by the incompetent boobery of the American workforce, then you won’t want to miss this episode of the Nest of Vipers. Working the phone lines at Play Station on Christmas morning, being the a/v tech dude at a proctologist convention, being a bag boy in a retirement community, and dealing with couriers that lose your priceless packages are just some of the customer service problems dissected this episode. Hosted by filmmaker Danny Plotnick.

Guests include:

Anthony Bedard is a drummer and guitarist. He drummed for San Francisco’s legendary Icky Boyfriends, a band known to clear the room at lightning speed. He is currently playing guitar in the panic-skiffle rock combo known as Hank IV. Bedard also books The Hemlock Tavern, a San Francisco watering hole and rock club.

Jack Boulware, raconteur extraordinaire and chronicler of the depraved is author of the books Sex, American Style and SF Bizarro. He is co-founder of San Francisco’s annual Litquake literary festival, and is currently buried in a new book project, a history of punk rock in the Bay Area.

Bucky Sinister is the author of three acclaimed books of poetry—King of the Roadkills, Whiskey and Robots, and the brand new All Blacked Out & Nowhere To Go. Bucky honed his writing skills and performing chops as emcee of the outrageous poetry brawl scene at the Chameleon in San Francisco’s Mission District during the mid 90’s. His poems have been included in The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, and King of the Roadkills inspired a short-lived clothing collection in Australia. He recently completed watching 500 movies on DVD this past year as part of the Q500 Experiment.
