Just the Tip - The Gift Card Debacle

Marshall boldly claims this is an “action packed episode,” which should immediately concern everyone. He starts with professional development — despite famously hating professional development — and Gunter wastes no time calling him out. Of course, there are references to prior episodes because continuity matters… sometimes. Marshall shares about his mom’s dementia battle, and they both reflect on what MRIs were like in the 1990s. From there, things take a very Marshall turn: he explains how he edits greeting cards to make them actually applicable. At the place they work (which they “don’t talk about”), there’s apparently a course called Crucial Conversations — and surprise — Marshall takes issue with it. He also recounts taking an etiquette class, which in true Marshall fashion includes a completely unhinged story. Then comes the pasta rant. Because yes, that’s happening. Marshall and Gunter went to Olive Garden and nearly everything about the experience sets him off. Gunter calls him out — again — for his ongoing hatred of France. It’s heartfelt, ridiculous, nostalgic, and argumentative — all in one “action packed” package.   In loving memory of Teresa Ann Marshall.
