Summary
WELCOME BACK TO THE BARDO, REFINER!
It's one of the most unusual episodes of 'Severance' so far. And we're about to finish digging into every nook and cranny!! Welcome back to the 'Severed' Deep Dive into 'Chikhai Bardo.'
This time we're going to get into some of those ROOMS. What the heck has Mark S. been working on? Oh, a room that's nothing but air turbulence. There's another one that's nothing but 'thank you card' writing. Huh? It seems Dan Erickson was using the Testing Floor to work out some personal demons. We avoided the Flossing Room!
Grab a quick nap on Mark's sad Orange Couch then hit 'play' for the third and final chapter of "Chikhai Bardo."

A BIG 'thank you' to Research Volunteer/Producer Refiner Vinny P. Vinny has been providing outstanding research and information during the Season Two Rewatch Episodes. Vinny is also tracking down Interview Victims...er, Subjects!
Huge thanks to Adam Scott, star of 'Severance' and host of the Severance Podcast for recording a custom intro for "Severed." Make sure to check out 'The Severance Podcast w/Ben Stiller & Adam Scott" wherever you found this one!
A big 'thank you' to friend of the pod Kier Eagan, er I mean Marc Geller! Marc both sat for an interview (make sure to check it out) AND recorded some great bumpers as Kier himself. Follow Marc on Instagram @geller_marc.
BIG Thanks to Friend of the Podcast Hayley Erickson-Goelzer. She is Sister to creator Dan Erickson and also a listener. It took getting approval from Dan's Press Person, but thanks to her follow-through we've got a custom bumper from Hayley Erickson-Goelzer!!
Yes, that is really and truly Primary Director and Executive Producer Ben Stiller doing a custom bumper for 'Severed.' He actually did this bumper for the show while we were recording an interview for the Official Ben & Adam Podcast. Thank you, Ben for the Bumper and for bringing this incredible show to the screen!!
