Ah, executives. They fund your project, cheer you on, and sometimes… ask for things that make you want to slam your head into your Gantt chart.

Like:

“The project’s almost done—let’s change everything!”
“I read about [X] in CIO Magazine—can we bolt that on?”
“Why are we doing it this way? Let’s redo it completely differently… and badly.”

In this Top Shelf Replay, we revisit the best parts of this classic episode, then Kate & Kim reflect on what they’ve learned since—especially now that they're the execs making the asks (hopefully less stupidly).

Oh, and yes—this is the episode where we try to talk Darth Vader out of building an infinity pool on the Death Star.
