  • It's the last Wednesday of the month, which means we're jumping ahead! Today's episode is all about competition: spelling bees, hands on a hard body, and beer pong to win back a desk. Of course we're talking about episode 522, "Heck on a Hard Body." We're joined by Josh Brener (Silicon Valley, The Last of Us) as he helps us recap the episode and acts out an entire deleted story line (3 scenes!) that got cut from the episode involving Dr. Goodwin (Jack McBrayer) and Dr. Fulton (Dave Foley).
