Episode 31 - Nothing but Sick Calls and Sports Drama

Ever felt the strange relief of calling out sick and truly disconnecting from work? Join me, Mike Rispoli, as I share a personal update on my cousin's recent overdose—a heart-wrenching incident stemming from an accidental reaction between seizure medication and alcohol. We dive into calling out sick from work when you’re feeling under the weather, and the popular days people tend to call out, from Super Bowl Monday to Halloween.In this episode, we explore the cultural phenomenon of "unhappy leave," a mental health initiative by a Chinese supermarket chain that’s making waves. Plus, we contemplate the potential impacts of a proposed six-day work week in Greece. On the sports front, I'll break down the importance of a solid offensive line in football, using Joe Burrow's injuries as a cautionary tale, and celebrate Aaron Judge’s smashing success with over 50 home runs. We'll also take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to college days filled with overindulgence and lessons learned. Whether you’re a sports fan, someone needing a laugh, or interested in mental health innovations, this episode’s got something for you.If you would like to share your opinion, send an email to [email protected] and don't forget to follow me on Instagram and TikTok @thelnbepodcast.
