In this week’s episode Patrick and Greg have a somewhat circuitous conversation about the academic curriculum vitae across the professional lifespan: what it is, why we have it, and what kinds of things may or may not go on it. Along the way they also discuss Antiques Roadshow, Duolingo streaks, Oscar, Greg’s front door, Teddy Roosevelt, sarcastic Spanish, Coors Light as a religion, the doodad drawer, riptide warning flags, flaming trash dumpsters, a middle seat on Southwest Airlines, you got two minutes, danger Will Robinson, where’s Waldo, and God’s most thankless task.
