Show notes

“Life is about communication. We live for three score year and ten. And it’s, ‘Did I communicate?’ 'Yes you did.' ‘Did I get something across?’ 'Yes you did.’ ‘Are you gonna pay me for it?’ ‘Yes, lots. Thanks very much. Not why I do it, but thank you.'

Our BBC Office rewatch continues as this week we’re watching ‘Party' and ‘Motivation’ from series 2! We follow along as the staff have a party for Trudy and David gets a gig as a motivational speaker, culminating in his unforgettable presentation. We go through all the storylines and make sure to cover all of the raunchy gifts, nicknames for David, and escalating dares that go into these episodes. Then in the Conference Room we once again compare and contrast the US and UK versions of the show, before closing with some emails sent in by listeners!

"David Brent. I've been in the business for twelve years, been at Wernham Hogg as General Manager for eight of those, so putting together my team."

After many years of anticipation we finally go across the pond and dive into the BBC version of The Office! We finally are rewatching and discussing the episodes and seasons that started it all, 2 episodes at a time. We start with the first 2 episodes of series 1 (Downsize & Work Experience), profiling the different characters and how they establish iconic profiles in the show. Then in the Conference Room we make a deeper comparison between the US and UK versions of The Office, with a special focus on the two pilot episodes and how they match up with one another, all the way down to the staplers in jello.

So grab your portable phone holster and get some batteries for Big Mouth Billy, as the ‘MSPC INVESTIGATES’!

"At first I drove myself crazy thinking about the things I should have done differently. I never should have played that joke on Erin. I never should have hollowed out this damn pumpkin in the first place. Then I realized that I was being silly. I mean the pumpkin should rot off of my head in a month or two. Right?"

Put on your costume and prep your signature song—this Halloween we’re taking about Here Comes Treble! In honor of spooky season Alex and Edwin dive pig-nose first to all the storylines, costumes, and acapella covers that make up this episode from season 9. And of course we highlight all of the apprehension kits, pumpkin head pranks, and Sexy Tobys along the way.
