127: Michael in New York Sep 09, 2021

Show notes

“I would love to live in New York someday. It’s a big dream of mine. Work for corporate, with Jan. It’d be awesome. Go to Broadway shows, eat hot dogs. Scranton is great, but New York, is like Scranton on acid, no on speed, no on steroids.”

Michael in New York? Oh, he owns that city. Fuggedaboutit! With Edwin visiting there, this week’s episode is dedicated to Michael Scott in the city so nice they named it twice (Manhattan is the other name). We talk about what New York means to Michael and the show, going through all of the limousine rides, fake Tina Feys, and MISSterious suits that make up those moments. Then we head to the Conference Room for a meme-inspired game before wrapping up with some trivia!

126: Work Bus Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

"You mean you flooded my building with dangerous electromagnetic radiation as a prank?"

This week, during another late night recording, we set aside the carpeted comfort of Dunder Mifflin Scranton and hop on board Season 9's Work Bus. We discuss the intricacies of this unique setting for Office shenanigans, from Jim's quest for pies, to the pettiness between Andy and Nellie, and eventually to the barren trouser hives of Dwight Schrute.

Then in the conference room we take do our own roll call chant (shabooyah, shabooyah roll call!) before wrapping up with another listener provided trivia.

125: Email Surveillance (Superfan Cut) Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

"It’s true. I’m having a party. I’ve got three cases of imported beer, a karaoke machine, and I didn’t invite Michael. So three ingredients for a great party."

If you have a lot of sensitive emails, they should be deleted immediately, because this week we’re talking about Email Surveillance! Join us for a late-in-the-evening recording where we take a deep into this episode from season 2, in part to highlight the way the documentary crew interacts with the staff and how Angela and Dwight first come together. And of course we talk about all of the improv games, party e-vitations, and karaoke duets that make up this episode. Then we head to the Conference Room where we discuss a unique way to think about female characters in The Office and other sitcoms before closing with some additional suggestions for FMK (Friend, Marry, Kill).

We gotta erase a lot of stuff. A lot. of. stuff.

124: Car Scenes Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

“You can’t fire me, I don’t work in this van!”

We expand one of our favorite mailbag questions to a full-length episode, dedicating this week’s episode to Office scenes in the car. We talk about how those scenes set up unique conversations between characters and move the plot forward, how they compare to talking heads, and how the camera angles and positions influence the comedic moments. And of course we eventually get to listing some of our favorite Office-car moments, including trips to the lake, intense breakups while Darryl is driving, and Dwight licking his lips. We then move to an Oridinary Things segment where we discuss car/road trip moments from our own lives, hit the Conference Room for a game of ‘Friend/Marry/Kill’ suggested by a listener, and wrap with trivia.

123: Office "What If's?" Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

This week we tackle the immortal question—‘What If?’ We go through some alternate scenarios and talk about how it would’ve changed the show, including Pam marrying Roy, Karen going corporate, and a lot of different characters being manager. Then in our Ordinary Things segment we pose the ‘What If?’ question to each other before closing with a quick round of trivia!

122: Basketball Aug 05, 2021

Show notes

"Who am I? Am I Michael Scott? I don’t know… I might just be a basketball machine. What’s Dunder Mifflin? I’ve never heard of it. Filing? Paperwork? Who cares? Possible downsizing? Um… well, that’s probably gonna happen, actually."

The hand strikes and gives a flower—this episode is all about ‘Basketball’! With our friend and co-host Sean traveling, Alex and Edwin take a look at an all-time classic from season 1 that pits the office staff against the warehouse workers to see who’s going to work on Saturday. We talk about the ideal starting 5 for the office staff, how the warehouse team should utilize Lonny in the low post, and how characters like Gabe and Andy would fare in a similar game. After Michael stops the game because of a foul, we head to the Conference Room where we discuss a theory about Jan and take listener voicemails about mistakes we made, character impressions, and more!

"We’re going to the outlet mall on Saturday, so if you want to save big on brand names, and Roy has to work, which he will, because we’re also competitive, you should feel free to come along."

121: Jan Jul 29, 2021

Show notes

“How do I do it? Raise my daughter, work as director of office purchasing for this hospital and release an album of Doris Day covers on my own label? If I knew I’d tell you"

Love to start my day with a hearty bowl of Jan. We dedicate this week’s episode to Jan! She’s the corporate VP, Michael’s lover, Astrid’s mother, and the famed actress behind Jasmine Windsong. We go through her arc and character, discussing all the trips to Jamaica, baby shower renditions of ’Son of a Preacher Man’, and incredibly awkward dinner parties that make up her time on the show. After an extended conversation about Jan, we wrap up the show with a round of trivia all about ‘Money’ from Season 4.

Right now, the title of our podcast is, “Something Weird is Going On.” Colon, “What Did Jan Say? The Michael Scott Podcast Company Story. By Michael Scott, with Dwight Schrute.”

120: Murder Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

“There has been a lot of murder and a lot of intrigue. My little heart can barely take it no more."

There’s been a murder in Savannah! This week we play a game of Belles, Bourbon & Bullets, dedicating this episode to Season 6’s ‘Murder’, Sean’s all-time favorite episode. We talk about what makes this episode unique within the show, while also going through all of the Tube Cities, evidence based on puns, and Voodoo Mama Jujus that make it so distinct. Then in the Conference Room we answer a great listener question about which Office character we’d like to have as a guest on our podcast, followed by an Ordinary Things segment about games we used as distractions during stressful times. And then of course we close with another round of trivia.

There will be food. You leave, you do not get food. What kind of food? Sandwich platters, baby carrots.

Show notes

This is a bonus miniseries, our regular Office episodes will still come out this week.

“Right. The product you’d most like to get into business with is joy?"

“Si, mucho, mucho joy."

In the ‘Second Half’ episode we wrap up the rest of Season 1! With just 45 minutes we go through topics like the joy of Dani Rojas, the villainy of Rupert Mannion, whether Roy Kent returns next season, the effectiveness of the ending, and where we think the show goes in Season 2. We give our last thoughts on the show and reflect on the different takeaways we each had after watching the show for the first time (in the case of Sean) or re-watching (in the case of Alex and Edwin).
