  • That’s Monday kinda deep!

    As much as I enjoy the catch me up in 20 every week day, the 2/16 episode was tight.

    You might have stumbled on to something, a one day a week deep dive.

  • The best thing I’ve heard

    “You might be wondering what the difference is between a cisginger and a transjenga, but to answer that question we have to first work out the exchange rate between Schrute bucks and Stanley nickels, then divide by the airspeed velocity of an unladen African swallow.”
