Doom-Jobbing Is Real, Cigarettes Are Back, and High Surf & Rip Currents

Hour 3 (7.31) We're hiding the vape today — and asking the question nobody wants to answer: do you actually know what's in it? Nobody does. Then we get into the rise of the cig-influencer, and whether cigarettes are somehow making a comeback in 2026. We revisit Yul Brynner's haunting anti-smoking PSA for the American Cancer Society, recorded from interview footage, where he delivered the line people still can't shake: "Now that I'm gone, I tell you: don't smoke." Plus the Debbie Austin commercials and your smoking stories.  Then, a new term for a very real feeling: doom-jobbing. Part doomscrolling, part job search — compulsively refreshing job boards and panic-applying to random roles because the market has everybody rattled. We also get into Foosh's interview with iHeart, and why Tim Conway comedy is truly a generational thing.  Heading to the water this weekend? Pay attention. We break down coastline conditions with high tide and a rip current warning in play.  And finally — California minimum wage is going up next year. Which begs the obvious question we're throwing to you: when YOU started working, how much were you making? The answers are going to hurt. Apple is offering to lease an Apple device.   🎧 Listen carefully with headsets and microphone for the full experience.  Enjoy the podcast!  #Vaping #QuitSmoking #VapeTruth #CigInfluencer #YulBrynner #AmericanCancerSociety #AntiSmoking #SmokingStories #DoomJobbing #Doomscrolling #JobSearch #JobMarket #CareerTalk #LayoffSeason #TimConway #ClassicComedy #iHeart #RipCurrent #BeachSafety #HighTide #CoastalConditions #SoCalBeaches #MinimumWage #CaliforniaMinimumWage #FirstJob #PaycheckTalk #Podcast #MorningShow #LocalNews #ListenWithHeadphones See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
