Original air date: July 8, 2009 | In episode #128, Jim Stroud and Karen Mattonen discuss a whole bunch of stuff, the least of which: Did you know that leaving a positive endorsement for someone on Linkedin could get you in trouble? Howzabout proudly proclaiming, “I don’t care about breaking the law! I have errors and omissions insurance!!! (Umm… okay) Finally, did you know that prostitution was legal in THE USA? (Well, at least in one state.) As such, would you recruit for the world’s oldest profession? This one has a lot of rants and raves from Karen, while Jim (the good cop) tries to make sense of it all. Tune in to hear it all for yourself.
