Episode 501 - HR Gone Wild: Workplace Relationships in Fictional Universes

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin reminisce about the most ridiculous things they believed as kids, the most universal belief being the existence of basement monsters. They then pivot to their main topic, workplace relationships in fictional universes, which was inspired by recent events at a Coldplay concert. The dorks sift through some of the most well known but problematic workplace romances in media, offer ideas for mandatory HR training in different fictional universes, and craft a custom official workplace romance policy for the MCU.

Things are wrapped up with another round of Patch Notes: Real Life Edition, where Doug reads out patch notes for real life and Justin has to decide if they're good or if they should be scrapped as garbage.
