  • Ep. 85: Central Perks
    One of Pierce's favorite coffeeshops turns its wifi off over the weekend. Naturally, this called back to a time when the gang discussed a bar that used a Farraday cage to disrupt cell signals inside, and sparked a conversation about the etiquette of working at places that are neither your home nor your office. MUSIC: "Read My Mind" - The Killers. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL: Shea Serrano (@sheaserrano) on Twitter
