About this listen

A fourth season of the critically acclaimed, no bullsh*t sit-downs hosted by PHATER ROC of Galapagos4 & Scarce Elementz Crew is upon us. Ordinary life generating extraordinary dialogue is the layout. Discover what qualifies as a "shitty" situation to a janitor, the best bribes to keep the cable guy from disconnecting you, how to avoid an ass-kicking from a shoplifter as a loss prevention retail worker, whether life truly ever goes on for a sex-offender's family, or what happens between a client and tree trimmer when a tree falls on the house. The worst aspect of each guest's daily routine sparks the discussion. From there, the conversation rides the wind. Season 4 premiers Monday, February 20, with literary emancipator and children's book author, Abena Sankofa Imhotep.© 2025 Worst Things First Podcast Art Social Sciences

  • THE BRA MAKER
    Apr 12 2023

    By way of an unanticipated stroke of grace, the W.T.F.P studios and host PHATEROC stumbled upon divine insight into the anatomy of the feminine figure and the challenges faced in producing under-garments which effectively cover and support its upper portions, while also accentuating the natural beauty of the area.

    In this episode, W.T.F.P guest, C.E.O and designer of Shy Intimate Apparel,, TARRITA, joins the show to discuss everything from walking the tightrope of balance between being a human with real life ups and downs impacting one's business endeavors and the productive consistency maintained therein, to the uncertain journey of casting faith in a production manager overseeing manufacturing or material sourcing in countries where the language, customs, and laws remain as foreign as they were prior to either party ever stepping foot on that unfamiliar soil.

    The leap of not having a technical artistic background yet having a vision and mission to provide an apparel solution to a common problem based in intimate wear for women of all sizes, is explored.

    TARRITA
    craftily sidesteps the question of how many consecutive days of wearing the same bra is cool for a woman before things either get funky or socially weird..... and PHATEROC learns the answer to the question all men have had since 1914: "Why do you, (women) even care about wearing bras, since men don't care if you wear one or not?"

    PHATAL EXTRACTION:
    "I want women - the everyday woman....to see themselves in these bras." - TARRITA

  • THE REPO MAN
    Mar 13 2023

    Believe it or not, you don't need a pilot's license or even a pilot rolling with you to repo an airplane. This episode of W.T.F.P features the insight of a 15-year veteran in the repossession game. Operating almost exclusively out of the San Fernando Valley and other parts of northern L.A County, the "Taker of your Tahoe," the "Collector of your Camry," the "Snatcher of Your Series 6," Keith, joins the show to give the run down from his lens on one of the most hated and perhaps misunderstood occupations.

    Tune in to learn why Keith preferred to work alone even in the stickiest of situations, or why the suburbs tended to pose the most frequent challenges.

    Keith reflection reveals a sense of empathy and a compassionate nod to the common thread of relatability between people of all backgrounds when it comes to financial struggles. Clarity is provided on why arguing with the REPO MAN will get you nowhere......and bear witness to a feeble attempt to convince W.T.FP host, PHATEROC, that he only ever stole 37 cents from a reclaimed debtor's vehicle, in order to cop a Lil Debbie Oatmeal Creampie back when the original recipe was still kickin', on a day when he forgot to pack a lunch.

    PHATAL EXTRACTION: "It's just a job that needs to be done. Someone's gotta do it."
