85: Fun Run

10/14/2020

"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...

84: Gabe

10/8/2020

“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...

83: Listener Voicemails 2

10/1/2020

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...

82: The Fire

9/23/2020

“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...

81: The Deangelo Arc

9/16/2020

“You know, we’re all here, I’ve got the music cued, why don’t I just do my routine without the juggling balls. Prepare to go into the danger zone”. We take a look at Deangelo’s time on The Office, spanning with his training from Michael, his dramatic slam dunk exit, and his brief return in a hospital gown. We look at his best moments and his effect on the other characters before discussing whether he could have had a longer run on the show. This week's conference room meeting asks the big...

80: "Please Leave a Message for Andy Bernard"

9/9/2020

Andy: "What if we changed our outgoing answering machine message, so it just had a little more… zing, and a little more pep?" Michael: "Zing and pep, see that’s those are the kind of words we’re looking for. Yes, Jim?" Jim: "What about if we did an even newer voicemail message that had even more zing and pep?" Michael: “Now we’re cooking." This week we answer voicemail questions from our listeners! We talk Office-inspired tattoos, Michael’s confidence going for the corporate job,...

79: Weddings in The Office

9/2/2020

"Webster’s Dictionary defines “wedding” as the fusing of two metals with a hot torch. Well, you know something. I think you guys are two metals. Gold medals" We cover weddings this week, going from Pam and Roy’s prolonged engagement to Dwight and Angela’s marriage at the bucolic Schrute Farms and all the weddings and proposals in between. Then we congregate in the conference room to talk about some little moments in the show we just can’t get over, and close once again with...

Duration:01:07:53

78: Jim and Karen

8/26/2020

"Here's a non-hypothetical...I'm really happy I'm with Karen." Jim and Karen come together as a couple just as the Stamford branch closes and merges with Scranton. We look at how the love triangle between Jim, Karen, and Pam influences the rest of Season 3 and displays The Office’s ability to create tense, heartbreaking, and emotional moments. Then we head to the conference room to discuss different ways to hold a baby, and end with another signature round of trivia.

Duration:01:15:04

77: Kevin

8/12/2020

“There are some people who have charm and some who don’t. Guess which type I am? Charm type." This week is all about Kevin Malone in what we’re dubbing episode number Keleven. We talk about the way his character changes over the show and highlight our favorite moments, like winning back parking spaces from the Five Families, eating pigs in a blanket in a blanket, or being mistaken for Ashton Kutcher (to be fair they’re equally handsome, equally smart). Then we talk about different members...

76: Pool Party

8/5/2020

"Let’s try this: everyone, tonight, my house, wear a swimsuit. Let’s just call it a get-together. And let’s say no food." We dive in to 'Pool Party’ from season 8 to talk about Erin flirting with Dwight to make Andy jealous, Toby’s dangerous game of pretending he’s a wine aficionado, and Jim trying desperately to go home. Then we take some listener voicemails, brainstorm an episode that would just focus on Creed, and close with another classic listener-submitted trivia. It’s not a party if...

75: Ryan

7/29/2020

"Ryan has never made a sale. And he started a fire trying to make a cheesy pita. And everyone thinks he’s a tease” - Michael Scott This week we look at Ryan Howard’s rapid rise and fall, his on-again off-again relationship with Kelly Kapoor (The Business Bitch), the brief life of WUPHF.com, and all the cheesy pita-induced fires along the way. In our conference room we discuss some moments we wish we could’ve seen, headlined by Ryan’s arrest. And this week’s trivia comes courtesy of a...

74: The Parking Lot

7/23/2020

This week we continue our series on the different physical locations at Dunder Mifflin, heading out to the parking lot for a Goodbye Toby celebration, an employee soccer game, and a charity fun run for rabies awareness. We go through all the different moments that occur just outside the office doors and take a deeper look at how that space acts as a buffer between the office and the outside world. Then we read some fan-submitted favorite office ear worms following last week’s episode before...

73: Cafe Disco

7/16/2020

We’ve taken our podcast and turned it into a place to hang out. A place where unattractive and attractive people can get together. To meet. To greet. To see the ones that you love. To love the ones that you see. That’s right—it’s Cafe Disco. We revisit one of our original test recordings and one of our first big disagreements about The Office, focusing on a few specific moments to ask if the show ever jumps the shark. Then we list some of our favorite quotes that we just can’t get out of our...

72: The Co-Manager Arc

7/8/2020

It begins with a secret meeting and a cheese cart, it ends with Dwight’s tie in his coffee cup. This week we take a deep dive into the Co-Manager arc, where Jim focuses on the day-to-day, Michael focuses on the big picture, and Dwight focuses on bringing Jim down. We go through the episodes, koi ponds, and fake college tuition that make up this arc before zooming out and talking about what it means for Jim, Michael and the rest of the Scranton staff. Then we take some listener voicemails...

71: Pam and Dwight

6/25/2020

Pam and Dwight have one of the most unique dynamics in The Office. Their relationship spans the entire show, from fake diseases in ‘Healthcare’ to Dwight’s last talking head in the finale, with alliances, pranks, and Dwight’s concussion in between. We look at how it grows and evolves over the nine seasons, with Dwight turning to Pam for a gentler touch, and Pam turning to Dwight to provide some muscle. Then we answer some listener voicemails, talk about the cringiest non-Michael moments,...

70: Happy Hour

6/18/2020

Join us for some after-work drinks while we discuss Happy Hour! This week's show is focused on a fun, unique episode of The Office set in a Sid & Dexter's so the characters can eat, drink, and play Dance Dance Revolution. We get to meet Date Mike (’Nice to meet me'), watch Andy and Erin avoid drama, and see Dwight and Isabel whack some moles. Then we brainstorm some Dunder Mifflin-spired insults, names, and put-downs before flipping it and coming up with some Office-themed compliments and...

Duration:01:02:20

69: Oscar

6/10/2020

Oscar stands out in the Dunder Mifflin ensemble for his intelligence, his pretentiousness, and his kiss with Michael. He really fits that old stereotype of smug, gay Mexican. We look at every time he’s been the voice of reason, spoken in a high-pitched southern accent, or had a secret affair with a state senator. Then we head to the conference room to discuss Space Force and Never Have I Ever, list which Office characters we’d want on a star mug, and wrap with a trivia challenge. Support...

Duration:01:04:39

68: The Warehouse

6/3/2020

We venture down to the warehouse to a different side of Dunder Mifflin, a place where Darryl runs the show and Michael is absolutely not allowed to use the baler. Throughout the show, the warehouse provides an extension of the workplace that allows the characters to interact with the operations of the paper business and provides a stage for events too big for the conference room. We go through all of the C.R.I.M.E. A.I.D. auctions, Casino Nights, ping pong games, and discuss what that place...

67: Our Final (Public) Mailbag!

5/27/2020

Get in your constructive compliments, because we’re opening up the suggestion box for another mailbag episode! First question—what should we do to prepare for Y2K? Well, obviously that one got stuck in the box, sometimes that happens. We sort characters into Harry Potter houses, brainstorm unique props we’d like to have from the set, apply Dwight’s tipping etiquette to our own lives, take some listener voicemails and feature some call-in trivia. Also, today is Wednesday, but Dwight thinks...

66: Dwight Undercover

5/20/2020

“Just once, I would like to be a puppet master and have nothing go wrong. Is that too much to ask?” Dwight’s secret and not-so-secret plans drive a lot of the action in The Office, and we ponder at the idea that Dwight is often at his funniest when he’s up to something, like placing listening devices in wooden mallards and hiding in boxes in the warehouse. Then we talk about what Scranton staffers would buy with their stimulus checks and take on another round of listener-submitted...
