The Dilbert Principle

Red Taped

It will be funny, he said. It is an easy read, he said. We’ve earned a little light-work, he declared.

This week your hosts get hypnotized and led down an oyster-crab infested rabbit hole. We also complain about the outbreak of live music in the DC suburbs, review bureaucrat fashion trends, and travel via chicken wings to Korea...Don’t worry we stayed true to form and got drunk on aged coffee while discussing the merits of the Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams.

Are you repulsed by our linking Dilbert to Plato? Are you team “tie-no-coat” or “suit-no-tie”? Pancakes or waffles? Send thoughts, complaints, or rambling diatribes to: [e-mail], @RedTapedPodcast, or leave a review on iTunes.
