About this episode

Jim and Greg discuss the hardest and laziest workers in politics and media for Labor Day.

Join Jim and Greg for this special Labor Day edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they list their picks for the hardest working people in politics and the media, the laziest figures in those same jobs, and they share some favorite stories from jobs they had years ago. First, they look at the people in politics and media who seem to be very hard workers, including the Trump cabinet official who gets mentioned for every possible job opening. We also discuss president himself, other cabinet officials, and a key member of Congress. Then, they focus on the least hard working people in politics and media. Jim mentions a New York Times columnist and gives an honorable mention to another writer. Greg points to a former Trump cabinet official and a grossly overrated leader in the Democratic Party. Finally, Jim and Greg share stories from jobs they had in college - Jim in a warehouse and Greg at an iron mine.
