Learn from horses' mouths

Be the corporat espionage agent sitting outside in a white non-descript van, bouncing a laser off the window of Derick, John, Josh, and Chuck's meeting room. You hear it all. All the brilliance and all the dirty dirty dirt! You need to listen to a few to tune into what they're cooking in that kitchen, every bit as sassy and audacious as the Bradley Cooper Chef in Burnt!

This is the real biz!
