"Jim and I are great friends. We hang out a ton, mostly at work. But, the fact that he told me his secret and no one else knows says everything about our friendship. And it is why, I intend on keeping that secret...for as long as I possibly can." Is it us, or does it smell like up-dog in here? We’re talking about The Secret from Season 2! We talk about all of the different secrets in this episode, including what Jim told Michael on the booze cruise, Dwight investigating Oscar’s sick day, and Dwight and Angela’s relationship.

"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!

"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.

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 episode is brought to you by Shopify!

We talk about his role in ensemble, his best comedic moments, and his outstanding performance in the now-released Matrix cold open.

"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.

"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.

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.

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!

“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.

"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. Learn more about your ad choices.

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. “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).

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. “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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
