Show Notes
Jim: "I am Bill Buttlicker."
Dwight: "Really, that’s your real name?"
Jim: "How dare you? My family built this country, by the way."
Michael: "Be respectful, Dwight."
This week we try out a brand new episode format - handing out Dundie awards for the best phone calls over the course of the show. We open with some discussion about the role the phone plays on a show like The Office, how much happens through headsets, and discuss all the Dundie-winning phone calls that happen. We screen our way through the real phone calls, fake phone calls, emergency calls, personal calls, voicemail calls, missed calls, wrong numbers, drunk dials, songs, and Wendy's orders that make up a significant portion of dialogue on the show.
Then we head into the conference room to discuss who in the Scranton office that Michael has done the dirtiest. Oh, and there's just a dash of Oscars talk for all you movie buffs out there.
Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon! For only $5/month, Tots get ad-free episodes plus exclusive access to our monthly Mailbag episodes where we casually pick through every single message/question/comment we receive. We also have Season 2 of our Ted Lasso podcast Biscuits with the Boss available to our Patrons, as well as our White Lotus Christmas Special. Oh, and Tots get access to exclusive channels on our Discord.
On top of that, a portion of all show proceeds are donated every month to organizations that help fund education opportunities for minority students. Help us serve the mission that Michael Scott could not.
