    Grab your coffee and put on your cape—this week we’re clocking in behind the salon chair for a little shear madness. Gina & Gary dive into the wild world of hairstylists, client chaos, and salon horror stories that prove customer service can be its own form of endurance training. Between blow-dry breakdowns, ego trips, and workday weirdness, it’s all part of the beauty-industry circus—and we’ve got front-row seats.If you’ve ever survived a shift where small talk turned existential, or wondered how many times a person can say “just a trim” and mean a full-blown life change, this episode’s for you.✂️ Stories — Salon Chaos & Client ConfessionsA “high-end” salon that’s hiding more than bad bleach jobs.A client who redefines oversharing mid-appointment.When kindness meets chaos—and the stylist holds the shears.The fine art of cutting someone loose (professionally, of course).📰 Articles — Weird Science & Workplace Wonders🏠 A robot that can print a house faster than your stylist can finish a blowout.💰 The gas-station Bitcoin scam making “crypto” everyone’s new bad word.☢️ A math equation that casually predicts humanity’s expiration date.🐚 Scallops that can’t resist disco lights—and might save the ocean floor.🌙 The science proving your 2 a.m. ideas are scientifically awful.👵 A discovery that could reverse gray hair—because of course it could.🎮 Plus, a sneak peek at the upcoming Fallout Museum exhibit in Las Vegas—where post-apocalyptic fashion meets atomic history. Vault suits, Cold War lore, and just enough radiation to keep things glowing.💬 Also FeaturingReal talk on salon boundaries, burnout, and when “I’m fine” stops cutting it.Cozy gaming detours, weird science tangents, and cathartic workplace rants.A friendly reminder to tip your stylist and rate your podcasters preferably both 20 percent 🎧 New episodes every Wednesday @ 5 AM 📱 Follow @NeedNotApplyPod on TikTok, Instagram & YouTube 💌 Send your own story to NeedNotApplyPod@gmail.com for a chance to be featured✂️ Come for the stories, stay for the sarcasm—and remember: sometimes the real split ends are emotional.
