Summary

With Alex away this week Sean and Edwin spend this episode talking about…Alex! That is, Pam’s friend from art school played by Rich Sommer, who appears in only a few episodes. We go through the entirety of his arc on the show, including touching on the original intention of his character and how it was impacted by fan response.  Then we head to the Conference Room where Sean and Edwin talk about Michael’s condo being on Zillow and—as a surprise replacement segment—Edwin and Alex answer a couple listener questions!  Support our show and become a member of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scott's Tots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Patreon! For only $5/month, Tots get ad-free episodes plus exclusive access to our monthly Mailbag episodes where we casually pick through every single message/question/comment we receive. We also have bonus series available to our Patrons, like our White Lotus Christmas Special, Party Down, Ted Lasso, Survivor, and unreleased episodes of this show. Oh, and Tots get access to exclusive channels on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
