The Michael Scott Podcast Company – An Office Podcast

"Yes, so I know I told everybody that tomorrow is my last day, but I’m, I’m gonna be leaving tonight. I head to the airport at four. And I have said goodbye to half of them."

Our shelves are overflowing with preserves--this week we're talking about Goodbye, Michael! We take a deep dive into this notable episode from season 7 as the final entry in our Big June-a concept month. We dedicate our full episode to discussing Goodbye, Michael, covering Michael's exit, the Party Planning Committee, and Andy and Deangelo's sales call. And of course we highlight all of the paintball sessions, erotic cakes, and dog rescues along the way.

You know what I think we should do? I think we should just save the goodbyes for tomorrow. At lunch. And then tomorrow, we can tell you…what a great podcast listener, you turned out to be. The best listener we ever had.

Welcome to Mockumonthary! For the whole month of May, MSPC is side-stepping The Office to break down other iconic mockumentary format TV shows.

Up first, we are covering Parks and Recreation, the beloved cousin of The Office. Given it's shared DNA through showrunners Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, it's simply the natural place for us to start.

We discuss first impressions we had upon its debut in 2009, how it's similar yet completely different from The Office, Michael Scott vs. Leslie Knope, favorite characters and moments, and so much more!

Then we head to the conference room to react to the casting announcements regarding the new show set in the Office universe.

NOTE: Our 250th live episode is coming up this Sunday May 5th! If you can, please join us for a livestream on YouTube at 10am PT. You can find us on our YouTube page.

This week on Captive Audience we are driving through the Toon Town portal to revisit the 1988 classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit. With Alex in the captive seat for the first time, the gang breaks down the genre-bending approach to film noir, the blending of live action and animation, alcoholism, one hell of a soundtrack, an all-time villain in Judge Doom, and everything in between.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is currently streaming on Disney +

Join us for the premier episode of our new show CAPTIVE AUDIENCE - where we force feed the movies we love to the people we love.

Captive Audience is a reaction video in podcast form. The unique format allows us to keep up with what's new, catch up on classics--new and old--we may have missed, and share films that are near and dear to our hearts. Movies can feel very solitary, especially if we're just watching Netflix at home. But at times the best parts of movies comes from sharing them with other people. It can be laughing in the theater with the rest of the audience, debating with friends, or simply asking, 'So, what did you think?' once the credits roll. This podcast gets at why we watch movies, and as cliche as it may sound, how shared experiences bring people together.

To kick things off, we are making Edwin finally watch the decadent and divisive Christmas rom-com LOVE ACTUALLY.

Captive Audience has its own separate feed from MSPC, so please subscribe, rate, and review the show wherever you get your podcasts to help us grow!

“Christmas is awesome. First of all, you get to spend time with people you love. Secondly, you can get drunk and no one can say anything. Third, you give presents. What's better than giving presents? And fourth, getting presents. So, four things. Not bad for one day. It's really the greatest day of all time.”

Grab your Santa hat and your gifts for Yankee Swap—we’re drafting Christmas on The Office! We draft our favorite moments, gifts, scenes and more from all the Christmas episodes on the show. And naturally we cover all of the orange vod-juice-kas, trips to Benihana, and foot baths that go into those picks. 

Then we head to the Conference Room to close the episode with listener-submitted trivia about the actors on the show!

Jim: So this year, for the first time ever, I got Pam in Secret Santa. And I got her this teapot, which I know she really wants, so she can make tea at her desk….And this is the card, because Christmas is the time to tell people how you feel. 

For many years Office fans wondered about what Jim wrote in his letter to Pam, and a couple years ago Jenna Fischer revealed that it was a personal note from John Krasinski. In that spirit we’re drafting all the different moments, scenes, and instances we wish we could’ve seen on The Office, saying "Screw the teapot letter, I want to see…” We cover topics like basketball, Michael’s past, the mystery of Creed, and a whole lot more!

This week we draft character pairings on The Office! We talk about friendships, romances, Gabe, and whatever you call the relationship between Dwight and Nate. And each character can only be drafted a few times, so each pick has to count. And as we go we take time to talk about why those pairings are so iconic, hilarious, or just a favorite from the show. And then for the Conference Room we answer trivia submitted by our friends in the MSPC Facebook fan group!

"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.

"'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"

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.

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!

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.

“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.

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.

"If a baby were president, there would be no taxes, there would be no war. There would be no...government, and things could get terrible. It actually, probably – it would be a better screenplay idea than a serious suggestion."

"This morning the phone guy comes in, and he shows Michael that the phones have a PA function. And then he just left."

Sean is out this week, so there’s not the usual balance between 'sane' and ‘others’. Toby has mentally checked out since June. It’s a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.

And as a result Alex and Edwin get together to draft some favorite minor/one-episode characters! We talk about how they impact some of the most memorable and hilarious moments from the show and make a splash even with a brief appearance. Then we return to the archives and replay a classic episode.

"No, I’m not worried. Because this lie isn’t for me, it’s for Pam. And when she gets her body back and her confidence back… yes, I will tell her the truth. That I had feelings for a co-worker today that I haven’t had in years. But in my defense, he was grabbing my crotch fairly aggressively at the time."

We thought it might be fun to set Cathy up with someone. Do you have any ideas? This episode is all about Pam’s Replacement from Season 8! We talk about the introduction of Cathy to the office and how the staff responds, as well as the warehouse musical stylings of Kevin and the Zits until Robert California shows up.

This week we’re drafting Talking Heads! Also known as confessionals, these scenes are a signature feature of The Office, and we go round by round to pick our favorites. Then we have a ‘Cri Man Squa FNC Double Time’ segment where we talk about an Office-related topic from a recent major box office release (spoiler warning!) before wrapping up with trivia.

Phyllis: You know I know. [looks at the camera guys] You know they know.

Dwight: I know none of that. If I did, you’d be the last to know.

This week we go behind the camera to discuss the documentary format, one of the defining and most iconic features of The Office. We look at the documentaries and mockumentaries that preceded it, how the format shapes and frames the show, and the other TV shows that aired at the same time or have aired in the time since. Naturally we also cover all of the moments where we see the crew interact with the characters, including the boom guy, Dwight's candy bar, and that time Andy floated away in the lake wearing a sumo suit. In lieu of a Conference Room, we include listener questions to help guide our discussion of the main topic for one of our most unique episodes yet.

It is still TBD when the boom guy is going to boom Meredith.

Then in the Conference Room we talk about some of our least favorite cold opens and what games/activities we’d want to do with Office characters, inspired by Rainn Wilson tweeting that he wants to challenge a professional wrestler. And then of course we finish the show with another round of listener-provided trivia!

"When I was in training, many years ago… not so long ago… I worked side-by-side with a fellow named Todd Packer, and together we rocked the office. Packer and I once spent the whole day with our pants off, and when people noticed, we convinced them that they were crazy."

What’s up my nerds? This week’s episode is dedicated to the traveling salesman, alligator nerd, and William Hung fan, Todd Packer. We discuss his different appearances, his negative influence on Michael, and his dramatic exit after lacing a bunch of cupcakes. And of course we highlight all the pregnant nun costumes, ‘gifts' in Michael’s office, and Threat Level Midnight cameos that make up his time on the show. Then we head to the Conference Room to catch up on listener emails before we close with a classic round of trivia!

With the holiday season upon us, we are drafting parties on The Office! We revisit the always-fun draft format to talk about the different celebrations throughout the show, with a rule that we each select one Christmas party to highlight the holiday. In the Conference Room we continue the theme, talking about different holidays we wish had episodes or scenes in the show, and then we close with a quick Ordinary Things check in on the seasonal celebrations we have planned.

This isn’t your grandmother's Christmas/party draft episode. Unless of course she’s from the Michael Scott Podcast Company, in which case it’s very accurate.

"Guess where I am going. I will give you a hint. It is a booze-fueled sex romp, where anything goes. You are correct, sir! I am headed to Philadelphia for the Annual Northeastern Mid-Market Office Supply Convention. And Jim Halpert is going to be coming, which will be fun. Poor little guy. He’s been stuck working under Josh, the poor man’s Michael Scott, as he is known around my condo."

We take the train with Dwight and Michael for our episode this week about The Convention from season 3! We talk about the different storylines in this episode, where it fits in the Jim and Pam relationship, and Creed eating Andrea’s cereal. And we also cover all the freedom fries, shots of Midori, and fun jeans that go into this episode. Then in the Conference Room we talk about what Office images we’d want on a puzzle before closing with what candid character moments we wish we could’ve seen.

Oh god, I hope it’s urine.

“I grew up poor. I had little formal education. No real skills. I don’t work especially hard, and most of my ideas are either unoriginal or total crap. And yet, I walked right into a job for which I was ill-prepared, ill-suited, and somebody else already had, and I got it. If you ask me, that’s the American dream right there. Anything can happen to anyone. It’s just random.”

This week’s episode is dedicated to Nellie Bertram, head of special projects, friend to Jo Bennett, and the record holder for the three slowest laps ever recorded in a formula one race car. We go through her arc on the show, starting with her interview in season 7's 'Search Committee' all the way through the finale, looking at how and why she can be a divisive character among fans. And of course we talk about all the tacos, destructive shopping sprees (she bought 13 pianos), and prank radio shows that make up her time on the show. Then we head to the Conference Room where we listen to some voicemails before closing with a round of trivia.

Pam: "So we just… we wanna help you plan the proposal so that it’s safe and responsible and realistic and doable."

Michael: "I had a great idea until you ruined it."

Oscar: "Wanna know how to do it? Here’s how you do it. Take her out to dinner. Go down on one knee. If you are in costume, you did something wrong. If at any point you find yourself tying a ring to a dogs collar, stop, and look at yourself."

With Alex's wedding just around the corner, we’re looking at proposals in The Office. We talk about all of them, from Jim and Pam meeting halfway at a gas station, to Michael’s disastrous proposal at Diwali, to Dwight yelling at Angela through a megaphone. Then in the Conference Room we hear Alex and Sean’s proposals before closing with a signature round of trivia!

This week’s episode is dedicated to Hank, Dunder Mifflin’s head of security, resident blues musician, and executive barista at Dwight’s Caffeine Corner. We talk about his role in ensemble, his best comedic moments, and his outstanding performance in the now-released Matrix cold open. Then we head to the Conference Room to answer some questions from listener voicemails before announcing the winner of our Halloween costume contest.

"I just got a text from Broccoli Rob – “Boo!” Scared me. And then I got this text from Robert California – “Looking forward to Halloween party. Expectations are high.” Scared the s**t out of me."

Put on the Miami Heat jersey, set the fog machine to medium, and tell the man in black we say hello—this episode is all aboutt ’Spooked’ from Season 8! With Halloween just a few short days away, we go into this haunted episode, talking about the storylines between Andy and Erin, how Pam believes in ghosts, and the best moments from the costume party. And of course we highlight all of the grown up parties, multiple Kate Middletons, and cinema of the unsettling along the way. Then in the Conference Room we talk about Office costumes sent to us and announce the launching of our new merch store (!) before closing with a Halloween version of our Ordinary Things segment. 

Why is it such a shock that we follow the royal story? Warms my heart, thinking about them two kids…doing it.

"It’s like I used to tell my wife, I do not apologize unless I think I’m wrong, and if you don’t like it you can leave. And I say the same thing to my current wife, and I’ll say it to my next one too."

Put on your backup glasses and break out the fluffy fingers, this week is about ‘Did I Stutter?’ from Season 4! We break down the clash of the titans, where in one corner you have Michael, and he is mad. And then in the other corner, you have Stanley, and he’s mad. Kevin says that’s about it, but we know there’s more, so we discuss all of the Mad Libs, wet cement, and outgoing voice messages with zing and pep that make up this episode. Then we head to the conference room where we give some recommendations about the music, TV, and podcasts we’ve been watching and listening to.

"Well, I was in the Seminary for a year and dropped out ’cause I wanted to have sex with this girl, Cathy. Followed her to Scranton. Took the first job I could find in H.R. Later she divorced me. So no, I wouldn’t say I have a passion for H.R."

We’ll let you in on a little secret: we’ve been very much looking forward to this episode. Very, very much. We have been steeped in anticipation. Toby has been cruisin’ for a bruisin’ for twelve years, and we are now his cruise director, and our name is Captain Bruisin’. This week is all about everything that is wrong with the paper industry, Toby Flenderson! We go through his role and character arc, highlighting all of the trips to Costa Rica, Chad Flendermen novels, and caprese salads that make up his time on the show. Then in the Conference Room we discuss the new ‘Office Experience’ in Chicago as well as some Office Halloween ideas before wrapping up with a signature round of trivia. 

We tried. We tried to talk to Toby and be his friend, but that is like trying to be friends with an evil snail.

No, you don’t have a hearing problem, we’re replaying the audio from our Nate discussion! But before we do, Alex and Edwin check in to talk about life, weddings, refrigerators and anything else going on in their lives. And then we well as go through some voicemails and emails from our incredible listeners where we talk about Office characters singing karaoke, underrated show moments, and a lot more.

Michael: “Here’s my wish. I want you to meet a great guy, and I want you to be happy.”

Holly: “Thank you.”

Michael: “My wish has come true, incidentally, because you’ve met me, and you are happy.”

Darryl: “Clever, Mike.” 

With Edwin’s recent move, we dedicate this week’s episode to Employee Transfer from season 5! We start by checking in with Edwin before looking at Holly’s emotional move and in-car breakup with Michael, all while Darryl is driving. We go through all the different storylines in this episode, including the Halloween cold open, Dwight’s application to Cornell, and Pete and Tom’s ‘prank’ on Pam. Then we close with an extended round of trivia!

Jim: Ah, hey.

Pam: Oh my God.

Jim: Hi.

Pam: Hi.

Jim: Sorry, I forgot Kevin’s extension. It’s a fantasy football thing.

This week we dedicate the entire episodes to a listener-submitted draft concept where we each build our own fantasy office. We must fill 11(!) roles with different characters from the show, but the inspiration and purpose of that office staff is up to each host. They say no man is an island. False! We are an island and this island is volcanic. And it is about to erupt, with the molten hot lava of strategy.

“Hey, you want to see a really messed up show? Follow us around, come to our office!"

With just Alex and Edwin holding it down this week, we decided to focus on two of the most minor characters on the show, Gino and Leo from Vance Refrigeration. We go through all of their brief yet memorable moments in the show from just a handful of episodes. And of course we discuss all of the caprese salad drug deals, deleted scenes moments, and teddy bear deliveries that make up their time on the show.

Then we take a round of voicemail questions from listeners, covering things like Office-themed classroom ideas, alternate jobs for Dunder Mifflin staffers, moments or episodes we’d want to be a part of, and one of Alex’s best all-time drops.

“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!

"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.

"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.

“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.

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!

"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."

“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.

“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.

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

Welcome to the 2nd episode of Biscuits with the Boss - a miniseries about Ted Lasso ahead of it's season 2 release on July 23rd.

“Let’s be sad now, let’s be sad together. And then we can be a gosh-darn goldfish. Onward. Forward.”

In our last episode in the series, we reflect on the experience of binge watching a season of television in one day and then recording podcasts about it. We talk about how the day went, our takeaways from the recording experience, and talk about what other shows we could cover with this format.

“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).

Welcome to the 2nd episode of Biscuits with the Boss - a miniseries about Ted Lasso ahead of it's season 2 release on July 23rd.

“Do you believe in ghosts, Ted?”

“I do. But more importantly, I think they need to believe in themselves, you know?"

Our ‘First Half’ episode looks at the first half of Ted Lasso season 1, spanning from ‘Pilot’ to ‘Tan Lines’. We start with Sean's first impressions watching the show for the first time and pick up the discussion from there, talking about how Rebecca stands out as such an interesting character, the silent genius of Coach Beard, whether the show feels more British or American, and the unique persona of Trent Crimm (“Trent Crimm, The Independent”). We have to hustle to beat our 45 minute time limit before we go back to binge watching for the second half.

“Winners prove me right, losers prove me wrong”

This week’s episode is dedicated to ‘The List’, the opening episode from Season 8 and the first with Andy as manager. We talk about how the show moves on after Michael’s departure, how they give more attention to the ensemble, and the early impact of Robert California. In the conference room we read some listener emails and talk about what trends we wish The Office could have addressed. 

May as well have been sketching a cube.

"Yeah, I shot a bunch of footage around the office, edited it together on my Mac. I was thinking of entering it into some festivals. Probably won’t. You know, not what this is about."

What happens when you put Michael Scott's creativity, imagination, and delusion behind a camera? Find this week as we discuss Michael’s movies! We go through all of the films he creates and screens throughout the series, including productions from both Diversity Tomorrow and Great Scott. We talk about how they reveal his character, how they emulate popular films or videos from that time, and how the rest of the staff responds as his captive audience.

Our conference room segment can be described as ‘roasted by memes’, as we talk about an Onion headline and another meme about podcast hosts that give us that ‘boom, roasted’ feeling. And of course we close out the show with another round of trivia.

"I am king of forwards. It’s how I like to do business, everybody joking around. We’re like ‘Friends’. I am Chandler and Joey and, uh, Pam is Rachel. And Dwight is Kramer."

This week we check the inbox and respond to some listener voicemails! We cover a wide range of questions, including how Office staffers would be on Zoom calls, why Charles Minor didn’t like Jim, why we never saw Michael’s family, what if there were multiple Gabes, and a whole lot more. We dedicate the entire episode to those hard hitting topics before wrapping with a unique trivia challenge all about episode titles.

“I would like to invite all of you to come away with me on a journey. [nips mylar ribbon with hedge clippers, it won’t cut, he tears it down] Welcome to the Michael Scott Paper Company!"

This week we return to the topic from our very first episode, an arc that shook up The Office and inspired the name of our podcast, the Michael Scott Paper Company. We go through how this run of episodes stands out from the rest of the series, how it challenges major characters like Michael, Pam, Dwight, and Jim, and how the meatball parm is Alfredo’s worst sandwich. And we also cover all of the rundowns, parking lot soccer games, and C-shaped bagels that make up this arc. In the conference room we talk about some listener feedback on our Roy episode and discuss the announcement of a new workplace comedy from Mindy Kaling. And then of course we close with another trivia challenge.

Warehouse worker, gravel company founder, recipient of the Dundie for ‘Longest Engagement’, this week’s episode is all about Roy. We cover his arc and role on the show including his engagement to Pam, his friendship with Darryl, his attack on Jim, and his assertion that Pam’s art was the prettiest art of all the art. And of course we also cover all of the Office/Warehouse basketball, booze cruise snorkel shots, and AM weddings that make up his time on the show.

Then in the conference room we get some more suggestions for the Office theme park and get some corrections from our listeners before we close with another classic round of trivia.

"What did we learn this week? Well, one, thanks to me, my team is much, much faster at coming to decisions than I thought they would be. Number two, never buy a fur coat with a credit card until you absolutely have the money to pay for it. And three, you should know that some people think it’s cool to throw buckets of fake blood on you as you are walking out of Burlington Coat Factory."

This week’s episode is dedicated to ’The Surplus’ from Season 5! We talk about Michael’s struggle to please everyone while choosing between a new copier or new chairs, along with Dwight, Angela, and Andy touring Schrute Farms as a wedding venue. Of course we highlight all of the butter sculptures, tuna sandwich kisses, and trips to Burlington Coat Factory that make up this episode.

Then we head to the conference room where we choose sides on the important issues of our time: new copier vs. new chairs, chunky vs. smooth peanut butter, Recyclops vs. Belsnickel, and more!

And if we start coughing during the show, we’re sorry, we’re eating tiramisu.

"I have been Michael’s #2 guy for about 5 years. And we make a great team. We’re like one of those classic famous teams. He’s like Mozart, and I’m like Mozart’s friend. No. I’m like Butch Cassidy, and Michael is like Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart; you’re going to get a bullet in your head courtesy of Butch Cassidy."

This week’s episode is dedicated to Michael and Dwight, one of the foundational relationships in The Office. We go through all of the watermelon babies, attempted coups, and fights at the dojo that make up their arc, while also talking about how the relationship changes and evolves over the course of the show.

Then in the conference room we take a question about Karen ‘Phillip’-elli, hear more of Sean’s ’True Crime Podcast’ voice, and hear about some of things people do while they listen to our show. And then we close with an International themed round of trivia.

Jim’s voicemail: You have seven unheard messages.

Pam: [voicemail message for Jim] Hey, Jim. It’s Pam. I keep looking up to say something to you and then Michael’s there and it’s horrible. Anyway, I’m bored. Come back!

We’ve been back in the annex beacuse somebody did something to Michael’s carpet. Now our voicemail is full so this week we’re answering listener questions! Join us as we recast the manager candidates from ’Search Committee’, list our favorite Office ‘car' moments, and brainstorm what was going be on the hip hop mix Michael promised to make for Darryl.

We don’t know if you guys figured out who did that to Michael’s carpet yet, but we have a theory that involves an inter-departmental conspiracy.

Everybody in the office. We need to talk.
