Press 1 To Speak to a Customer Service Rep

You know how much we love AI <>...and using AI for customer service is just our favorite! With real people customer service representatives, you at least had a chance at a favorable outcome. With AI, you just get responses based upon the flowchart of answers that have been programmed. Sure, companies save money with AI customer service because 1) They don't have to pay a person and 2) The customer is never right so they save money by not resolving issues. However, do they look to see if customers are still customers afterwards? How do YOU feel about customer service today? Join us for "Press 1 To Speak to a Customer Service Rep" episode on The Works.

DNA Testing: Let's Get into your jeans (genes)

We got the food pyramid wrong and had to update the entire calorie conversation to include gut biome. Did we get our documentation of genes and what they can predict correctly? So many folks are making life altering decisions based upon genetic testing results. They believe it is inevitable that they will get certain conditions and ailments. What is it that we know about genome sequencing? Just because you have a marker doesn't mean you will get it. Did you know that only 5-10% of all breast cancer patients carry the BRCA gene mutation? How and when do these genes get "mutated"? Join us for this "DNA Testing: Let's Get into Your Jeans (genes)" episode of The Works.

Football...No Soccer

Soccer is NOT football! With all of the hype of the FIFA World Cup, we just do not get it. Is it truly a sport that America loves and supports? Considering that they say that it had a record viewership, we wanted to check that out. It was only 6 million. Considering The Simpsons, which has been on air over 30 years still pulls 2 million every week, that is not very impressive. Do you watch soccer? Or do you occasionally go to a game for something to do and drink beer? Please enlighten us! Join us for this "Football...No Soccer" episode of The Works.

Uncovering Government Waste

These projects would definitely fit the definition of "pork" in a legislative bill! Who doesn't love pork? Did you know that $57 million was spent to get to drill in the layer between the Earth's crust and mantle? How about$74 million for a canal bisecting Florida which was never completed? Join us for a pork discussion on this "Uncovering Government Waste" episode of The Works.

Hot Dogs

Talk about a bunch of baloney! There was a govt paid study on the correlation between hot dog consumption and childhood leukemia in 1994. Why hot dogs and leukemia? And, in 2004 it was debunked and there was no correlation or causation. What other frivolous studies have we done? Cocaine's effect on the sex life of quails. How about the 20 year study of steroid use on hamsters and their aggression? How about money to make a holographic museum of deceased comedians? Join us for a spirited discussion on this "Hot Dogs" episode of The Works.
