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 return to one of the early topics in our podcast run, the Party Planning Committee!

"Jim’s nice enough. I dont… I don’t know how well he’s fitting in here. He’s always looking at the camera like this. [makes classic ‘Jim' face] What is that?”

The look to the camera is one of the most iconic elements of The Office, and this week use the draft format to talk about the best, funniest, most memorable and most cringe-worthy camera stares from the show! Then in the Conference Room we talk about the state of The Office in the pop culture zeitgeist, character insights on Michael and Jim that Larry Wilmore shared on a different podcast, and go through some listener emails.

"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."

It does not matter to us at all whether this podcast is biologically ours. We are going to love it. This week we take a deep dive into Baby Shower from season 5! We talk about all the major storylines with a special focus on how scenes in the newly released Superfan edition change the overall tone and feel of the episode. And of course we also highlight all of the watermelon babies, $1200 strollers, and HR weirdos that make up this episode. Then in the Conference Room Sean shares his pick for the Minor Character draft, we read a message about American references in The Office that might not be familiar to non-American viewers, and then close with a round of listener-submitted trivia!

"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.

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.

"So, yesterday Dwight found half a joint in the parking lot. Which is unfortunate because as it turns out, Dwight finding drugs is more dangerous than most people using drugs."

Did a girl with a lip ring at an Alicia Keys concert pass you a clove cigarette? Because this week we’re talking about Drug Testing. We dedicate this episode to a classic from Season 2 where Dwight investigates narcotics use at the Office and Jim tries to navigate Pam’s jinx with the vending machine sold out of Coke. And naturally we highlight all of the 1-on-1 interviews with Dwight, Kelly Kapoor story hours, and tangy zips of Miracle Whip that make up this episode. Then we have an hybrid Conference Room/Ordinary Things segment where we discuss an Office soundscape and how we fall asleep at night, followed by another rousing round of trivia.

Peace out, Seacrest!!!

"I am the regional manager of Dunder-Mifflin Utica branch. Turns out it’s a pretty easy gig when your boss isn’t an idiot and your boyfriend’s not in love with somebody else."

This week we start with a quick recap of our great weekend in Colorado before we pivot to our main topic—Karen Filipelli! We talk about her relationship with Jim, her becoming manager at the Utica branch, and the closure she gets in Lecture Circuit. And of course we also go through the searches for chips, squeaky chairs, and Margarita Karaoke Christmas parties that make up her time on the show. 

Then of course we close out the episode with another classic trivia challenge!

And naturally we also cover all the squeaky gavels, putt putt golf club sets, and vintage HP computer collectors that make up this episode.

"The people that you work with, are just… when you get down to it… your very best friends. They say, on your deathbed, you never wish you spent more time at the office. But I will. Gotta be a lot better than a deathbed."

Season 7 contains a number of important moments in The Office, including Michael’s exit to Colorado, Dwight’s taste of being manager, and Andy rollerskating to Dave Matthews Band. We dedicate this episode to that season, discussing how season it fits within the show and the different character and story arcs throughout. And of course we highlight all of the WUPHF.com pitches, pigs in a blanket (in a blanket), and Sticky Quips that make up the season. In the Conference Room we take some listener voicemails and emails about our last episode, the Physical Comedy Draft, and then we finish out the episode with another listener-submitted trivia!

The Office has provided countless amazing physical comedy moments, and what better way to discuss them than with another classic fantasy draft! We use the draft format to talk about our favorite physical comedy moment throughout the show, including all of the Dwight combat, Michael characters, and prank moments that make us laugh the most.

"I’ve, uh, I’ve been at Dunder Mifflin for 12 years, the last four as Regional Manager. If you want to come through here… See we have the entire floor. So this is my kingdom, as far as the eye can see. This is our receptionist, Pam. Pam! Pam-Pam! Pam Beesly. Pam has been with us for… forever."

Reception is the gateway to the Dunder Mifflin world, and the receptionist is the first person to welcome people in. This week we talk about reception in The Office, including the physical location and moments that happen there, the different people who fill the role of receptionist, and how the receptionist interacts with Michael Scott. And we also make sure to highlight all the Recyclops appearances, parkour moves, and dramatic Michael entrances that occur there over the course of the show. Then we head to the Conference Room to talk about some future episode ideas before closing with a round of music-themed Office trivia.

Oscar: "Hey, I just wanted you to know that you can’t just say the word bankruptcy and expect anything to happen."

Michael: "I didn’t say it, I declared it."

This week we declare bankruptcy, work a late shift selling diet pills, and stay a night at Schrute Farms—that’s right this episode is dedicated to ‘Money’! Join us for a deep into this episode from Season 4 with a special focus on the new scenes in the superfan cut. We go through Michael’s clever financial maneuvering, Jim and Pam’s first night away at Embassy Beets, Mose’s table-making demonstration, Kelly needing to access her uncrazy side, Andy moonwalking past accounting, no one going to see Kevin’s band, and much, much more. Then in the Conference Room we answer some email questions about deleted scenes and Creed recruiting Jim for a crime before closing with another Office trivia.

"Had a very good thing going with David Wallace. He was a good guy. He was somebody I could trust. Here he is. [holding up photo of him and Wallace] You can really see that he is ok taking a picture with me. Even though I was there for disciplinary reasons."

Today’s a big day. Our podcast has been requested by Chief Financial Officer, David Wallace. He says he wants to talk about big picture stuff. That’s right, this week’s episode is about David Wallace, as was selected by our Scott’s Tots Patreon subscribers! We talk about his different appearances in the show, the role he plays as a corporate figure, and how a number of his appearances are over the phone. And of course we highlight all of the vacuums for toys, emergency 911 calls from Michael, and disciplinary meetings (“Can you tell me why you had to cut the face off the dummy?”) that make up his time on The Office. Then in the Conference Room we take some questions from our voicemails before closing with a signature trivia challenge.

"Today I’m heading over to the job fair at Valley View High School, to find some new interns. Want to get some fresh blood. Um, euthanize this place.”

New year, new Superman episodes, new cold open—to kick off 2022 we’re talking about Season 4’s Job Fair! We discuss all the new additions from the superfan cut, with a special focus on the debut of a new cold open that shows some of Michael’s inventions. But we also make sure to include Jim’s round of golf featuring Kevin and Andy, Pam driving 20 miles round trip for a single sheet of paper, and Dwight and Angela working quietly until 5pm.

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.

“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!

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.

"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."

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.

"Also, FYI, ah, I don’t technically have a hearing problem, but sometimes when there’s a lot of noises occurring uh at the same time, I’ll hear ’em as one big jumble. Uh, again it’s not that I can’t hear, uh because that’s false. I can. Um, I just can’t distinguish between everything I’m hearing."

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).

“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.

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).

“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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

"Do I feel bad about betraying Jim? Not at all. That’s the game. Convince him we’re in an alliance, get some information, throw him to the wolves. That’s politics baby. Get what you can out of someone, then crush them. I think Jim might have learned a very valuable lesson."

Do we want to form an alliance with you? Absolutely we do. With the season 1 Superfan episodes of The Office hitting Peacock this week, we decided to focus on ’The Alliance’. We go through the birthday card messages, warehouse box stakeouts, and accidentally generous walkathon donations that make up this episode. Then we compare it to the Superfan cut before talking more generally about what those new editions mean for the show.

In the conference room we talk about funny moments from Zoom or Teams calls while working remotely, and then we wrap up with another round of trivia.

"Look, we can breathe just fine. But if it makes you feel better we’ll poke holes in the box."

Andy: Where are you going?

Pam: Uh, not on a three month boat trip.

With our producer Alex vacationing in the Bahamas, we’re dedicating this week’s episode to an arc we're calling 'Andy at Sea’. We go from him embarking on the voyage (and leaving Erin behind) to his early return (“You’re back…and you’re disgusting") and everything that happens in Scranton while he’s gone. We cover why Ed Helms had to miss those episodes, how these developments affect Andy’s overall character arc, and why Dunder Mifflin runs smoothly with him gone.

Then we head to the conference room for a listener-submitted MSPC Bingo Card, and then we close with one quick trivia question.

If you’re sad that Andy took his brother instead of you on the boat trip, just remember that Bob Marley song—no, woman, no cry.

"It might seem crazy, but since there’s no one left in New York, Michael is Dunder Mifflin’s highest ranking employee. So, that’s where we are."

'The Banker’ stands out as the only clip show The Office, and on this week’s episode we talk about all the HR liabilities, Computron facts, and Office clips that make up this unique episode. That discussion got us thinking about what we’d want in a clip show of The Office, so we follow it up by going to the conference room to fantasy draft our own clips from all 9 seasons.

And then of course we finish up with another trivia challenge sent by a listener! We left a copy of Best American Mystery Stories 1999 in Toby’s favorite stall, so yes, I think we bought us some time.

Angela: The senator and I still have mystery. I’m always waiting to see what he’s gonna surprise me with next. [Oscar chokes on his coffee]

This week we look at the love triangle between Angela, the senator, and Oscar. That dynamic spans the last few seasons of the show and plays a big role in the arcs of both Oscar and Angela as the show wraps up. We talk about all the yoga classes with Blake, picnics thrown by the comptroller’s wife (if anyone knew what a comptroller was), and sandwich deliveries for Oscar Martinez that make up that arc. And to think, it’s all because Angela and the senator shared a bale at Hay Place.

Then we head to the conference room we take some listener emails, talk about David Wallace’s house going up for sale, and think about what Office locations we’d want to Airbnb in. And then of course we conclude with a signature round of trivia!

Got that bimbo? Got it bimbo.

Ryan: You have another job?

Michael: What I do between 5:30 pm and 1 am is no one’s business but mine and my other business.

Jim: Are you a cocktail waitress?

What happens when you take the Dunder Mifflin staff out of the office? That’s what we’re looking at this week on the Michael Scott Podcast Company! We go through all of the characters’ second jobs and side hustles, including Michael’s time at the call center, Toby writing Chad Flenderman novels, and Creed selling fake IDs with a laminating machine that he swiped from the sheriff’s station.

Then we head to the conference room to build our Office staff to start a new paper company. Tripadvisor is the lifeblood of the agro-tourism industry, and The Office is the lifeblood of the Michael Scott Podcast company.
