It's Pretty OK

Cubicles? Offices? Hoteling? This week, the guys (who are on the road in New Orleans) are talking about workspaces. What does your desk—or lack thereof—say about your company's culture, your work style, or even your aspirations? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, one of the nation's premier drinking holidays is happening. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, the gang is talking about one of the many ways that someone can choose to get inebriated while wearing green: bar crawls. Music: "Legend" - Drake Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, the topic is video games. How did they factor into the guys' lives when they were younger? Do they still play? What's different about playing video games as an adult? Music: "I Broke Up in Amarante" - Los Campesinos! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, the gang is talking cocktails. What makes something a "cocktail" and not just a mixed drink? What's your go-to drink? Are clear alcohols really just for rich women on diets? Music: "Unless It's Kicks" - Okkervil River Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, the guys are talking about tipping. Why do we tip? What happens in other places like Europe, where tipping isn't expected? That sort of thing. Sorry for the technical issues, though that means more Rae Sremmurd for you guys! Music: "This Could Be Us" - Rae Sremmurd ADDITIONAL READING Danny Meyer Is Eliminating All Tipping at His Restaurants - Eater Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...

This week, Pierce poses a question: If your smartphone did everything it currently does - except make phone calls - would you still buy/use it? Plus an apology and the latest entry in the long list of reboots. Music: "It Takes Two" - Mike Will Made-It, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Lil Yachty ADDITIONAL READING "The 36 Questions That Lead to Love" - New York Times "The End of Small Talk" - New York Times...

This week, the guys are talking about carbonated sugar syrup. That's right, it's an epi-soda (please excuse the terrible humor). Is Sprite terrible? Why do people drink diet sodas? Did you grow up with soda in the house? These questions and more, plus an apology from Pierce and a special movie marathon in Austin. Music: "Anything You Want" - Spoon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more in...

How has the local library's role in your life changed over time? That's what the guys are talking about this week. Also, an apology from Pierce and some pointed words for ESPN's Darren Rovell. "Not Your Mother's Library" in The Atlantic: http://theatln.tc/2jJESPJ Music: "Little House of Savages" - The Walkmen Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, the guys are talking about happy hours. They may have started as a way for working men to avoid their families after work (or maybe not - who knows?), but the more important question is: How do we experience them now? MUSIC: "(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano" - Sampha Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brunch: Is it just a meal, or is it something more? That's what the guys are talking about this week. Then, Pierce apologizes for toaster-pastry etiquette and Sean drops a very lukewarm Star Wars take. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, the NFL playoffs prompt a conversation about the different ways we express our fandom when watching sports. Max likes to have a rooting interest whenever he's watching a game, and Sean and Pierce have many questions about that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
