• King Louie the Cat
• Pets over parenthood and the economics of relationships
• How the Marlboro Man is a bad example and nobody talks about Tonto
• The art of being alone without feeling lonely
• Mates from home, social media buddies, and "disinvitations"
• Conferences: Education or Boondoggle?
• Remote Work: Chapter 458
• Perri's missing microphone
• The history of the Kalimotxo
• Breaking bread and reverse (reverse) innovation on restaurant menus
• AceJob again
• Are people with large heads more charismatic?
• And lastly, Alan's questionable airplane etiquette
