This Was Supposed to Be About Vacations

Accidents, Emotions & Sleep Talking

This week, a special guest steps up to the mic as Jacob's co-worker and friend of the show, Sandor, joins the conversation. The episode starts with a wild story about his son's recent car accident that somehow turns into something much funnier than you'd expect. From there, the discussion takes an unexpected turn into emotions, parenting, and how a certain animated movie changed the way Jacob talks to his son about feelings. Along the way, the conversation drifts into childhood fears, adult fears, and Jacob's unexpected and unscripted sleep talking. As always, one topic leads to another, proving once again that the best conversations are often the ones that don't stick to the script. Don't forget to stay around for the ending blooper.

We Were Not Expecting That

Episode 9 starts with an unexpected guard dog moment and a similar story from Hannah about being protected, which somehow leads into a conversation about all the people, situations, and things we completely judged wrong or that turned out nothing like we expected. Along the way, we spiral into talking about weird things people collect before finishing things off with chaotic would-you-rathers involving barking, ex’s tell-all podcasts, 2005 internet, reliving school, and hypothetically starting a cult. Basically… another completely normal episode - at least by or standards. Don't forget to stick around until the end for another embarrassing blooper.

This Was Supposed to Be About Vacations

Episode 8 starts with a mysterious smell… but it doesn’t stay there for long. What begins as a conversation about bad trips and weird travel experiences quickly spirals into stories about creepy encounters, ghost tours, lost phones, childhood memories around farms, and one couch discovery that should’ve never happened. Along the way, things are debated about everything from cruises and movie theaters to breakfast food and whether Sundays are actually worse than Mondays. One topic leads to another, and somehow it all makes sense in the moment. Maybe not so much in the blooper, stay around til the end for a blooper laugh. This was supposed to be about vacations.

Funny Until It Isn't

We talk about an inappropriate office Christmas party story, Zade’s terrifying medical scare after collapsing at work, and how the experience changed his outlook on life and faith. Then somehow the conversation shifts into dirty pants, the five love languages, and relationships from a normal guy’s perspective. Also, be sure to stick around until the end for a laugh out loud episode blooper. Unscripted, unrehearsed, and the kind of conversations you usually have with your co-workers while at work… just after hours.

This Wasn't Supposed to Exist

WARNING: This episode wasn’t supposed to exist. So, full transparency—this was meant to be a completely different episode. It was recorded… or at least it was thought to be recorded… but technology had a different idea. Instead of pretending it didn’t happen, this episode leans into what the show does best—completely random, unscripted conversation. What follows is a mix of moments that didn’t make the cut before—random segments, conversations with Hannah and Zade, and even a new story by a new member of the Office Talks After Hours space that has been added in for good measure. From quick tangents to a few surprisingly real discussions, this episode jumps around in the best way. Basically, this is the episode that wasn’t supposed to exist… but kind of does anyway.
