Apropos of nothing, this episode features a clip from Mike Judge’s classic 1999 film, Office Space, where Drew talks about what happened to Tom Smykowski. I hadn’t watched the movie in many years, but I re-watched recently and am pleased to report it holds up very well. I LOL’d aplenty.

This episode features a clip from an Ohio local NBC affiliate where they interview the teenage girl who first heard Toto’s "Africa" on Stranger Things and trolled Weezer online until the band acquiesced and recorded a cover of it, which, ironically, I don’t then play on the show. Figured you’d already heard it. Also, their covers album is pretty meh, I’d say. They don’t really do much with the songs.

This episode features a hilarious parody podcast called 88% P(a(r(e(n(t(h(e(t(i(c(a(l(s))))))))))))) hosted by Sarah Koenig, of Serial and This American Life fame. If you’ve not heard the recent episode of Reply All for which this was created, I fully endorse that as well.

This episode features a lightly edited clip from PBS Newshour where author David Sedaris offers his trademark anecdotes to advise people to not confuse simple mistakes for microaggressions. As you’d expect, it’s pretty funny. And while not edgy, it’s perhaps still the edgiest thing I’ve ever seen PBS Newshour.

This episode features a heavily edited (and yet still very long) clip from Bob Garfield’s On the Media interview with Rutger Bregman, author of Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World, about why it is taking a generational shift to address global challenges like inequality and climate change. I recommend the whole segment.
