Episode # 9.0 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds both Matt and Ian locked in the conference room of life, just trying to finish the Junior Jumble. Gird your loins folks, there's a fox in the henhouse, and his name is Martin Nash... this hardened ex-con is spreading his anti-office propaganda, and Michael refuses to stand for it... and not just because he's black. Do the jammers in the room have reason to celebrate, or is jim just being a dick? The very worst thing about this episode of TWSS? The dementors. They hoit!

Last week, while Jenna was back in her hometown of St. Louis receiving a "women in the arts" award, she sat down for a very lengthy interview with a reporter for local NEWSCHANNEL 5.Check out the interview on the link above. Some good stuff, although nothing real die-hard fans of THE OFFICE haven't heard before.For some reason the video would ONLY work when I used IE7 (it doesn't like Firefox, I guess).
Skype and eBay are teaming up to auction off chances for average Joes like us to have a 10 minute private chat with various celebrities.Between November 30th and December 10th, you can visit this page and place your bid to chat with such celebs as Rainn Wilson (Dwight), Jenna Fischer (Pam) and Paul Lieberstein (Toby).

The top bid for Jenna is sitting at $630 right now... with 7 days left to go! Only $157 for Flenderson, though... here's your big chance, ladies of the blog comments page!)
One of my original gripes with how NBC was marketing "The Office" was their cluelessness about merchandising-- all of their T-Shirts said "The Office" on them! How lame is that? Surely, real fans would want a "Dunder-Mifflin" T-Shirt instead... that's why I snapped up the "World's Best Boss" mug & the Dwight bobblehead when they became available... I mean, these are actual ARTIFACTS from the show itself. Very cool.Someone at NBC must have been paying attention, because suddenly the official store has a TON of actual cool stuff... from T-shirts with Jim, Michael and Dwight, to a mug that has the DM logo and "Dundee award winner" on the side (and plenty of snowglobes and talking keychains thrown into the mix as well). They even have some slightly higher scale stuff, like a gray polo shirt with the DM logo embroidered on the front, just like Michael and Dwight wore in "The Convention."Just in time for Christmas.(I take a XXL, by the way...)EDIT:Enter coupon code OFFICETALLY at checkout to receive 10% off on all The Office merchandise.
Well, here we go folks-- mere hours away from the new episode, penned by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, creators of the original UK "The Office."Which of the new employees will be proven to have a "criminal" past? Only time will tell!EDIT:Watching now...Uh oh.EDIT 2:Flenderson FTW!
As you may have heard on episode # 8.0, I had the very great pleasure of meeting Sam Van Hallgren a few Mondays back. Sam is the cohost (along with Adam Kempenaar) of my favorite podcast of all time, FILMSPOTTING (or Cinecast, as it was known before they changed the name for legal reasons).Sam's is one of the most professionally produced shows out there, and is literally a beacon of excellence in a sea of mediocrity. If you like film, if you're looking for a show in the Ebert & Roeper vein, if you're looking for a place where listener interaction is appreciated, this is a podcast you should be checking out on a weekly basis. Just recently, they also parlayed their podcast into an actual radio show on WBEZ in Chicago.Sam has been a fan of THE OFFICE and a listener of TWSS, and he really was great to talk to during our brief meeting. He offered lots of good advice and insights into podcasting, and I really appreciated it.He ALSO did me the honor of a name drop in the most recent episode, #136, at around 22:26-31:23 or so. Since we're off this week, I ask you to give FILMSPOTTING a listen, if you're haven't already done so.Great stuff.
While Thanksgiving has interrupted our "The Office" love for now, I'd just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone out there a gut-busting, rip-roaring holiday.I'll be heading over to my usual family get-together to eat turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole until I regurgitate (that's when I know it's time for pie). Gotta love it.Take care, and see you next week!
As the title suggests, NBC posted more deleted scenes from "The Merger" on their site (5 total, now). One features Michael commenting on the mysteries of the menstrual cycle & Martin Nash discovering Creed's "old man smell." Another has Michael giving up some words of wisdom, a third has Meredith meeting Karen, while the last two have Andy interacting with Kevin. Also, they posted a link for a new "The Office" related solitaire game. Check it out!
Episode # 8.0 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds both Matt and Ian vying for the bouquet at the wedding of the century. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining of this lovely couple in merged bliss... Scranton, do you take Stamford to join your branch, to love, torture and humiliate them, to make things not better but WORSE, as long as you both shall live? You do? Really? It's the moment we've been waiting for, folks-- Jim is back... bringing treble with him. Will things go as smoothly as Michael hopes, or will we suffer a quicky divorce? One thing I *DO* know? Ed Helms + Rainn Wilson = Crazy delicious! Incidental music provided by the Podshow Podsafe Music Network.

A couple of new things posted today:NBC.com has posted 2 deleted scenes from THE MERGER. As usual, NBC is doing this differently again... you won't find them under the "Deleted Scenes" section, only on the main "The Office" page. The FIRST deleted scene is simply the complete and unedited LAZY SCRANTON video (which seems a shoe-in for Jim's iPod this week). The second deleted scene shows Andy's first meeting with Kevin. Let's just say that Andy feels the cold, cold karmic sting of poetic justice.Rainn Wilson also posted a new "Schrute Space" entry.Jenna Fischer also did a live blog last night after the show. She was only online for 25 minutes, and she didn't really spill any new information... just fielded a lot of Jim/Pam questions. Check it out at the link above.
