"I have been Michael's number two guy for about five years, and we make a great team. Why, 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 gonna get a bullet in your head, courtesy of Butch Cassidy." 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.

Ryan: Well that’s your opinion and it’s [Kelly’s] opinion, but it’s not my opinion. If you have something bad to say to me, Pam, say it to my face. Pam: Fair enough.

"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.

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

"Oh, that’s Mrs. Bennett, sweetheart. My husband and I are divorced, but I kept the “Mrs.” just to piss off the new wife." Morning, honey-pile—this episode is about Jo Bennett! We talk about her acquisition of Dunder Mifflin, her dynamic with Michael, Gabe, and the rest of the staff, and her overall role in the show. And naturally we cover all of the colorful, lawless swamps, non-sensical videos with Christian Slater, and exploding printers that make up her time on the show. Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk about other companies having issues and injuries with coal walks before talking about our own experiences with corporate team building. Oh, you don’t become the most powerful podcast in Tallahassee by slacking off. You do it by working hard. Or marrying rich. We did both! This episode is sponsored by NetSuite!
