Syd humbles herself by DMing a childhood friend turned CEO for a job. We spiral about what long-term unemployment does to a person—social norms? gone. dignity? optional. We compare LinkedIn to Hotel California because you can log out any time you like, but you can never actually leave. Unfortunately, we (the podcast and our kids resell business) are also not hiring—but not because we’re exclusive, just because we’re broke. There’s a brief, virtual kumbaya moment, and then we plug another product that doesn’t sponsor us but probably should (hint: it’s green, fizzy, and may lead to Elvis-inspired munchies). Thanks for stopping by <3<3<3

This week on LinkedOut: we’re writing back to our rejection emails (because if the bots can be unhinged, so can we). Billionaires are officially old news—make way for the trillionaires. 🙄 Also, LinkedIn’s been reading your DMs to train their AI (toggle your settings, babes).

We spiral about whether flip phones are the new frontier of peace, brainstorm ways to help Brit stop doom scrolling, and try (unsuccessfully) to keep Syd awake. Basically: one of us is zen, one of us is fried, and both of us are trying to stay woke in the dumbest possible timeline.

xoxo, your favorite unemployed philosophers 💅

This week, Syd gets worked by a recruiter but never actually gets work. Brit gets rejected from Trader Joe’s (rude!) and somehow still becomes the embroidery queen. We spiral about why we’re all building our own AI prison, psychoanalyze billionaires for sport, and lightly roast capitalism—all while reminding you that in-person connections still reign supreme. Somebody please send a hero—or at least a paycheck.

With AI coming for every white-collar job we’ve ever had, Syd and Brit consider new career paths in welding, construction, and other trades that can’t (yet) be automated. It’s women in the opposite of STEM, men on thin ice (except the ones who listen to this podcast, obviously), and a healthy dose of existential career panic. Thanks a lot, AI.

Another pop-up, another lesson, another lint-filled pocket. Syd gets ghosted by her own kin, we’re still swinging between depression and acceptance (fun!), and maybe it’s time to cut the cord and crawl back to the cozy days of VHS and DVDs. The only streaming we're doing is our tears.

This week, Syd and Brit get communal—talking about the highs and lows of community living, new projects keeping the vibes optimistic, and why hoarding wealth is out (but being too sexy to work is very much in). Plus: fake ads for our fake sponsors, and plenty of unhinged side quests along the way. We also mention The Gray Area podcast ("Imagine there's no billionaires") in this ep so go check it out or whatevs.

Syd relapsed—and yes, it’s exactly what you think. Between cringey LinkedIn spam, questionable vendor run-ins, and our latest side quest into embroidery, we’re learning the highs, lows, and LOLs of building a small business while still getting pulled back into the platform we swear we swore off.

From LinkedIn to link in bio. Syd and Brit dive into their sustainable small biz journey—running baby + kids vintage pop-ups, accidentally making a nemesis (hi, neighborhood mom 👀), learning the hard way about business partners, and scouting NYC’s best secondhand spots. It’s community, chaos, and content-creation—all in one episode. Don’t come for us! *unless you’re coming to shop
