Show notes

On this episode of Full Disclosure with Ben Nakhaima, Ben and Nick Norris attempt to review Diversity Day on The Office, but the first half of the episode is more of a psychological analysis of Michael Scott. Ben and Nick eventually run out of gas and in the expletive-filled second half of this episode, they discuss moving to Austin, life lessons learned so far, and personal items. We will be returning to our normal political interview programming at the end of July with a discussion on North Korea with a special guest from the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Enjoy!!
