Comedic, yet real, stories about work, life and friendship with Keith Coleman and Carl Spande.

Keith and Carl are marketing gurus and managers, bonded together by their adjacent cubicles. Together, they explore the absurdities of work and life by questioning corporate America and their life experiences that got them there.

Follow along as Keith and Carl humorously force a new friendship. Each episode includes a section called, "Keith and Carl Become Friends", the hosts will ask each other a mystery personal question. Their unscripted responses will shed light into their personalities, behavior and motivations. It gets real!

The heart of the show will center around a "Work Short Topic of the Day". Keith and Carl will explore various topics while providing their possibly misguided perspectives and interpretations, often a result of their perverse, yet oddly relate-able, childhood and young adult experiences.

In the first episode of Season 1, Keith and Carl begin their friendship journey exploring pies in the face, middle names and the age old question, "What did you want to be when you grew up?"

Did they have dreams of the exotic and exciting times of corporate America management? Likely, not. It's well, somewhat absurd, yet oddly familiar?!

Carl drew the short straw and had to step up to the plate to be first to discuss his professional development. In order for him to develop into a better manager and professional, it only seemed fitting that Keith and Carl dive into Carl's anonymous work feedback from his co-workers. Also, you'll get a glimpse into how Carl perceives his personality in and out of the workplace. Is it self awareness? Maybe. Delusional? Likely..

In the segment "Keith and Carl Become Friends", you'll get a glimpse into their self-cleaning habits and learn more about their childhood. The friendship is starting to blossom.

Companies encourage their employees to "fail fast and often", but do they really mean it? Keith and Carl explore failure by sharing times when they failed, sometimes quite badly, and discussing what they learned as a result. Their discussion navigates down a winding road to risk taking in their current roles, and how they encourage their teams to fail. Or not.

In the segment "Keith and Carl Become Friends", snack food and concerts are topics that will oddly reveal a lot about them both...

If you've been on this Season 1 journey, then you've gotten a sweet taste for Keith and Carl's personalities. However, when their personalities are assessed at their company and they share them with each other, things get real. Is there a "winner" when it comes to the best personality type? Is there resentment? Who's just being a "D"?

In the segment "Keith and Carl Become Friends", gladiators, Vikings and cowboys are discussed and not in a classy way. Go figure. Also, someone possesses a unique skill, hidden away in their closet, and it's just begging to be used again.
