185: Ultimatum (and a Happy New Year!) Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

"My resolution? I never want to make Holly cry again. Unless it’s from laughing too hard. Or making love too beautifully."

To kick off the new year we focus this episode on Ultimatum from season 7! We look at all the storylines, including the outcome of Holly’s ultimatum to AJ, the Scranton staff’s new year’s resolutions, and Darryl, Dwight, and Andy’s trip to the bookstore and roller rink. And naturally we also highlight all the Knights of the Night, broccoli taste tests, and sweet sixteen ten year reunion parties that go into this epuside. Then in the Conference Room we talk about spirit animals for each of the Office characters and answer some listener-provided trivia before closing with our own resolutions for 2023.

Our goal was to learn a new word every single day. And we must say that it is going immensely.

184: Moroccan Christmas (Extended Cut) Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

"This is the first Christmas party I am throwing as head of the Party Planning Committee. The theme is “Nights in Morocco”. This isn’t your grandmothers Christmas party. Unless of course she’s from Morocco, in which case it’s very accurate."

It looks like we’re going to be here for awhile, so why don’t you make a little plate of hummus for everyone. Little triangles of pita, toasted on both sides, fanned so you can easily can grab them.

With Christmas upon us, this week’s episode is all about Moroccan Christmas from Season 5! We cover all of the interventions, Princess Unicorns, and Party Planning Committee drama that goes in to this episode. And of course we cover all of the gift-wrapped desks, orange vod-juice-kas, and sitar music along the way. Then in the Conference Room we do a holiday check in and give out some movie, TV, and podcast recommendations to wrap up the show.

And napkins…fanned.

183: Women's Appreciation (Extended Cut) Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

"'Michael, how can you appreciate women so much but also dump one of them?' You mean, how can I be so illogical and flighty and unpredictable and emotional? Well, maybe I learned something from women after all"

That’s it. Conference room, five minutes. Women’s appreciation. We dedicate this week’s episode to that episode, covering all of the anti-flashing task forces, calorie-free yogurts, and Steamtown Mall visits that go into it. Then in the Conference Room we talk about Spotify Wrapped, including some from our listeners, the listening habits of Office characters, and our own personal years in music.

182: Food & Drink on The Office Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Erin: This is all for Michael. It turns out his girlfriend was married.

Pam: Yeah, and when Michael gets a broken heart, this whole place comes to a halt, so we’re just trying to get out in front of this.

Erin: After his last breakup, he ate 40,000 calories in three hours.

Bring in Kevin's chili, donuts for Michael’s birthday, and an orange vod-juice-ka, this week we’re talking about food and drink on The Office! We go through the different roles it plays at different times in the series arc and how it’s unique to the show. And of course we highlight all of the pretzel day toppings, ham and cheese sandwiches, and C-shaped bagels that go into this topic. Then in the Conference Room we talk about a lawsuit where a man won the right to be ’no fun’ at work before closing with trivia centered around Bob Vance, Vance refrigeration.

Oh, the springtime thinks that it’s the best. And fall time thinks that it’s the best. Cold time has, kind of a strut. And Valentine’s thinks that it’s the best. But gather round, peeps, I’ll tell you the truth. Nothing beats the cookie season, that’s the truth.

181: Listener Voicemails Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

[Jan on recording] “Michael, it’s Jan. I guess I missed you. I’ll, uh, be there this afternoon for performance reviews. I hope it’s understood that that will be our only topic of discussion. See you soon.”

Michael: First impressions?

Pam: Uh, just off the top… I think she’ll be here this afternoon.

It’s the MSPC, we guess we missed you, so this week we dedicate the episode to listener voicemails! We start by taking some feedback on the Cringe Draft episode, and then we take messages and questions on topics like who Dwight likes in the office, Jim telling Pam about Toby’s goodbye party, the Office in other countries, Steve Carell’s best performances in each season, and a whole lot more. We also get a quick check-in on Edwin’s time in Switzerland and our first-ever live call to the podcast!

180: The Cringe Draft Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

"Michael and Jan seem to be playing their own separate game and it’s called ‘Let’s see how uncomfortable we can make our guests’ and they’re both winning."

By popular request, this week we draft cringe moments on The Office! We pick the most uncomfortable and cringeworthy moments that make the show so unique, hilarious, and sometimes hard to watch. We also challenge ourselves to pick some non-Michael moments which adds to the fun and intrigue of this draft. We also talk about Alex’s long boat trip, Ellie Kemper running the New York City marathon, and a lot more!

179: Jim & Pam Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Pam: "When you’re a kid you assume your parents are soul mates. My kids are gonna be right about that. I guess it also means that sometimes love affairs look different to the people inside them." [Andy is in the background, looks incredulous]

This week we talk about one of the most iconic elements of The Office and one of the great romances in TV history—Jim and Pam. We trace their relationship over all 9 seasons, from the pilot to the finale, as they go from will-they-won’t-they to married with children and beyond. And naturally we highlight all of the booze cruises, teapot letters, and French onion chips that make up their relationship. We dedicate the full to this topic, but also touch on other TV romances, comparisons to the BBC Office, and more along the way.

Alright, then it’s a date.

178: Doomsday Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

“They're making me out to be a Bond villain. I like to think of myself as a brilliant scientist who will stop at nothing to remake the world. Like…not Doctor Moreau someone good. Doctor Frankenstein, Doctor Jekyll, not them. Doctor…"

Make no mistake—this week we’re talking about Doomsday from Season 8! We talk about Dwight’s threatening The Office with his accountability booster, Gabe making a move on Val, and Robert going to a club where you either eat squash or play squash. And of course we cover all of the cabbage pies, Michelin man cummerbunds, and new additions to Schrute Farms that make up this episode. Then in the Conference Room we talk about Nellie and her awareness of tacos before wrapping up with trivia.

Sive drafely, pobody’s nerfect.

177: The Party Planning Committee Redux Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

“At its best it was a toxic political club used to make others feel miserable and left out. At its best it planned parties.”

We return to one of the early topics in our podcast run, the Party Planning Committee! The original episode cuts off early, not sure why, but as soon as we figure out where Mose hid the wires we’ll be back up and running. In this week’s episode we talk about the different eras of the PPC, from Angela’s reign to Jim and Dwight’s begrudging birthday party for Kelly. And we make sure to highlight all of the Margarita Karaoke Christmases, foot money, and celebrations of Oscar’s Mexicanity that come from the PPC. Then in the conference room we answer some listener voicemails on Erin learning about Dunder Mifflin history, how many pillows we sleep on at night, and more before closing with another round of trivia.

176: Pam & Ryan Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

Ryan: Well that’s your opinion and it’s [Kelly’s] opinion, but it’s not my opinion. If you have something bad to say to me, Pam, say it to my face.

Pam: Fair enough. Um… I don’t think you’re a very good person. And forgive me, but I feel like I’ve said this to you before: I don’t like you very much.

This week’s we look at the relationship between Pam & Ryan! We look at all their interactions, arguments, and clashes throughout the series, including Ryan asking her out, them working together in the Michael Scott Podcast Company, and how SoHo’s mostly lofts, but ok. And naturally we cover all of the thrown-away yogurt lids/Office Olympics medals, grand romantic gestures on horseback, and microwave notes that make up their dynamic on the show.

Then in the Conference Room we take some listener voicemails about recreating Jim’s pranks, East coast details in the Office, and more!
