91: Holly Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

"Everybody, I want you to look at Holly right now, and maybe if you look at her deeply enough, you will see what I see in her. And that is that we are all very lucky to have her here. Holly is the best thing that has happened to this company since World War II. Fifty years, she is the best.” - Michael G. Scott

This week we focus on the Holly Flax the HR rep, improv / life partner to Michael Scott, and potential professional baker. We follow her arc in the show through her move to Colorado with Michael, highlighting all the weight loss initiatives, PDAs, and soup snake moments along the way.

Then we discuss an email from David Wallace on The Office’s impending move to Peacock before closing with some ‘would you rathers’.

90: The Break Room Dec 10, 2020

Show notes

“Listen, Stanley, how long does it take to pick out a soda? Still deciding? Peach iced tea. You’re gonna hate it.”

Grab a snack, buy a drink, and look out for notes Michael put in your food, this week is all about the break room. We go through all of the lunchtime gossip, John Denver covers, secret conversations, and that time Stanley yelled at Ryan (“Boy have you lost your mind? Cause I’ll help you find it!”) to break down what it means to the show and how it fits in the world of Dunder Mifflin.

Afterwards we assemble in the conference room to discuss lines that are funnier because of the actor’s delivery and Jim and Pam in season 9 before wrapping with another round of trivia.

89: Billy Merchant / Listener Voicemails Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

“You know what, Michael? Let me stop you right there. And leave." WIth that line, Billy Merchant deals with Michael Scott about as effectively as anyone in The Office. And then he correctly diagnoses Dwight’s concussion. This week we wanted to focus on a character who didn’t have a large role in the show, and we chose Dunder Mifflin’s property manager, highlighting all of his moments and appearances in the first few seasons. We also talk about how he could’ve had larger role in the show and what those moments would look like. Then we meet in the conference room to listen to some voicemails about favorite small moments, Jim and Pam, best Michael Scott characters, and more.

88: Dwight as Manager Nov 26, 2020

Show notes

"I will never be happier than I am right now. I will also never be less happy. I will be at my current maximum happiness for the rest of my life. Because I am manager of the Scranton Branch of Dunder Mifflin. Acting Manager."

Punch into the old time clock, grab your gigantic business cards, and feed your killer fish, because Dwight K. Schrute is acting manager. We talk about Dwight as the manager of Dunder Mifflin, looking at his brief managerial stints in seasons 3 and 7 before he finally gets the job in season 9.

Then we hold a conference room meeting to take some listener voicemails and close with another round of trivia. Don’t worry, the piranha is a rescue.

87: Meredith Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

"I just feel lucky that I got a chance to share my crummy story with anyone out there who thinks they’re the only one to take a dump in a paper shredder. You’re not alone sister. Let’s get a beer sometime."

Meredith Palmer is Dunder Mifflin’s resident partier, Supplier Relations rep, minivan driver, and PhD of school psychology. We devote this week’s episode to her and how she’s become more and more of a favorite character of ours over time. We go through all the car accidents, rabies incidents, shaved heads and surprise rehab visits she has during the show, while highlighting all the times she helps out other characters and unapologetically is herself. “Shaboom! How do you like me now?"

After that we head to the conference room to discuss what the show would be like without Andy, give some quarantine TV/movie picks, and play another round of Office trivia. Good night, Mary Beth!

86: Costume Contest Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

With Halloween coming up, this week’s episode is all about Season 7’s Costume Contest! We go through the Scranton staff's attempts to win the prized coupon book, why Danny never called Pam back, and Darryl going over Michael’s head to go behind his back to give a good idea to corporate.

Then we take guesses about Andy’s shopping habits and look at some more one-episode characters before we close with another a quick round of Office trivia.

85: Fun Run Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

"People always talk about triumphs of the human spirit, well today I had a triumph of the human body. That’s why everybody was applauding for me at the end. My guts and my heart, and while I eventually puked my guts out, I never puked my heart out. And I’m very, very proud of that.” - Michael Scott

We take a look at Fun Run (season 4, episode 1), or as it’s known around Michael’s condo, the Michael Scott, DM FM PMC Rabies Awareness Pro-Am fun run race for the cure. We start with the unique circumstances around season 4 at NBC, which influenced the structure and extended runtime of this episode before looking at how the episode starts with Michael eating cereal and ends with him puking fettuccine alfredo.

Then we bring back the fantasy draft format in a mini-draft of our favorite one-episode characters and wrap with another trivia challenge.

84: Gabe Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

“I remember when people thought biceps were ‘all that’. They’d dance all night at the discotheque...Core’s critical. There are four tenets of pilates that I live my life by. One—lengthen, two—elongate”

Gabe has accomplished so much, career-wise and height-wise, that we devoted this week’s episode to him. We go through his introduction as a corporate liaison, his relationship with Erin, and his metamorphosis into the tall skeleton/ugly pelican/Gabe Lincoln that is a fan favorite.

Then we head to the conference room to talk about what non-Office things make us think of the The Office before closing with our signature round of trivia.

83: Listener Questions 2 Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

Pam: [voicemail message for Jim] "Calling from my cell phone. I don’t know if you guys figured out who did that to Michael’s carpet yet, but I have a theory that involves an inter-departmental conspiracy. Everybody in the office. We need to talk."

This week go back to the reception desk to answer some more listener voicemails! Why does Dwight need to work at Dunder Mifflin? What if Jim got the corporate job in season 3? Would Michael and Holly fall in love if thyme under different circumstances? We answer questions like these and more, plus we get called out for our trivia miscues and someone sings a b-side to our theme song.

82: The Fire Sep 24, 2020

Show notes

“Everyone, okay? Uh, I have an announcement. Apparently, in business school, they don’t teach you how to operate a toaster oven. Because some smart, sexy temp left his cheese pita on oven instead of timing it for the toaster thing!” Ryan started the fire, just like The Office started our podcast, it was always burning since the world’s been turning. We focus on ’The Fire’ from Season 2, looking at the best moments, the character snapshots of our favorite staff members, and everyone’s desert island movies.

Then we answer a question from someone who's been converting The Office to VHS, and talk about how the medium affects the way we view the show. And then of course we put out the fire with another round of trivia.
