Ep 183183: Women's Appreciation (Extended Cut)
"'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" That’s it. Conference room, five minutes. Women’s appreciation. 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. Then in the Conference Room we talk about Spotify Wrapped, including some from our listeners, the listening habits of Office characters, and our own personal years in music.

Ep 182182: Food & Drink on The Office
Erin: This is all for Michael. It turns out his girlfriend was married. Pam: Yeah, and when Michael gets a broken heart, this whole place comes to a halt, so we’re just trying to get out in front of this. Erin: After his last breakup, he ate 40,000 calories in three hours. Bring in Kevin's chili, donuts for Michael’s birthday, and an orange vod-juice-ka, this week we’re talking about food and drink on The Office! We go through the different roles it plays at different times in the series arc and how it’s unique to the show. And of course we highlight all of the pretzel day toppings, ham and cheese sandwiches, and C-shaped bagels that go into this topic. Then in the Conference Room we talk about a lawsuit where a man won the right to be ’no fun’ at work before closing with trivia centered around Bob Vance, Vance refrigeration. Oh, the springtime thinks that it’s the best. And fall time thinks that it’s the best. Cold time has, kind of a strut. And Valentine’s thinks that it’s the best. But gather round, peeps, I’ll tell you the truth. Nothing beats the cookie season, that’s the truth. Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

Ep 181181: Listener Voicemails
[Jan on recording] “Michael, it’s Jan. I guess I missed you. I’ll, uh, be there this afternoon for performance reviews. I hope it’s understood that that will be our only topic of discussion. See you soon.” 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! We start by taking some feedback on the Cringe Draft episode, and then we take messages and questions on topics like who Dwight likes in the office, Jim telling Pam about Toby’s goodbye party, the Office in other countries, Steve Carell’s best performances in each season, and a whole lot more. We also get a quick check-in on Edwin’s time in Switzerland and our first-ever live call to the podcast! Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

Ep 180180: The Cringe Draft
"Michael and Jan seem to be playing their own separate game and it’s called ‘Let’s see how uncomfortable we can make our guests’ and they’re both winning." By popular request, this week we draft cringe moments on The Office! We pick the most uncomfortable and cringeworthy moments that make the show so unique, hilarious, and sometimes hard to watch. We also challenge ourselves to pick some non-Michael moments which adds to the fun and intrigue of this draft. We also talk about Alex’s long boat trip, Ellie Kemper running the New York City marathon, and a lot more! This episode is brought to you by Indeed!
