What do Bacardi, Hennessy, the Poconos, therapy, and a disastrous Nintendo job interview have in common? Somehow, they all end up in the same episode of Soft Launch.
On Episode 151, JC Mendoza and Samantha Santos revisit their worst drinking habits, from 151 and Bacardi to Hennessy, brutal hangovers, and the questionable decisions of their younger years. Samantha recounts a chaotic Poconos bachelorette party before the conversation turns to therapy, manual labor, cleaning out a disgusting garage, job hunting, and figuring out what comes next.
Then JC tells the story of his infamous Nintendo job interview — including the outfit, the group interview, the question about his favorite Nintendo game, and the catastrophic moment when he accidentally names a Sega game instead. Somehow, he still manages to win the Mario Kart portion of the interview.
