Are Home Kitchen Marketplaces the Future or a Risk to Consumers?

In this episode, Mike sits down with friend, food systems thinker and The Food Corridor founder Ashley Colpaart to talk about the rise of Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MEHKOs) and what they mean for the future of food entrepreneurship. Ashley shares why she believes lawmakers are trying to avoid an “Uberfication moment,” and why she thinks shared commercial kitchens remain a critical access point for food founders. Drawing on her own origin story growing up in a family hot sauce business that couldn’t scale without infrastructure, Ashley explains why she became interested in shared kitchens as her professional focus and explains how it led her to build her company. You can read Ashley's recent essay on MEHKO movement here on her blog: https://www.thefoodcorridor.com/blog/mehkos-2026-2/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

S1 EP8: Minnie Mouse coming back wasn't on my bingo card

Season 1's final episode delivers lots of surprises, ties up loose threads, and sets up what may be an even bigger mystery to tackle next season. After a Vince Gilligan-esque cold open, Ron attempts to restore normalcy at home and figure out where his career is going, only to have things unravel further as he confronts new clues, strained relationships, and a desire to reveal all to family and the local paper. A surreal encounter with Baby's owner and a shocking reveal from the masked stalker push Ron to the edge, culminating in a final shot that makes us wonder where this whole thing is going in season 2.

Post-Season Ep1: Filling The Chair Company Shaped Hole in Our Lives

In this post-season wrap-up of The Chair Company Files, Mike and Carlos talk about the first season as a whole, whether it met or exceeded their expectations, and what it meant to give Tim Robinson a larger canvas for a season-long scripted mystery-meets-comedy show. They get into how hard the show is to describe to newcomers, the different “camps” of fan theories online, and recommend other offseason viewing to fill the Chair Company–shaped hole until season two.

S1 EP 6: Happy Birthday, a friend

In this week’s episode, hosts Mike and Carlos unpack the quietly hilarious Episode 6, where Ron juggles Jeff's out-of-left-field requests for a mall redesign, a strange “life of the party” class, and his work/life balance as Jeff and Mike intrude on Seth's birthday party. They also examine whether Ron’s epiphany of the matching colors of a tattoo, a website, and a city skyline makes sense, and examine the fallout of Ron's hostility towards Jeff and Mike.

S1 EP4: Bahld Harmon (Also: Is Ron Really Crazy?)

In this episode of The Chair Company Files, Mike and Carlos unpack Episode 4’s big swing: flashbacks that deepen Ron’s backstory and sharpen the show’s blend of comedy, horror, and suburban dread. They debate whether Ron’s unraveling is a Fight Club–style delusion or a real conspiracy, and dig into themes of authenticity, fractured modern systems, and male identity anxiety. The conversation hits family dynamics (Barb and Natalie’s “I love you, I trust you, I got you” mantra), weird identity mix-ups (modeling calls, eBay guy), and whether this episode is this season's biggest turning point.
