"I never touch another juggler's instruments."
This week, with Edwin still overseas, Sean and Alex get together to discuss Season 7's The Inner Circle. The stretch of episodes to close out season 7 is a unique pocket of the Office, and with the superfan cut at out fingertips, we break down the arrival of Deangelo, this iteration of the cast adjusting to a new boss, motivational juggling, warehouse dunks, and misogyny in the show.

Welcome to Mockumonthary! For the whole month of May, MSPC is side-stepping The Office to break down other iconic mockumentary format TV shows.
Up first, we are covering Parks and Recreation, the beloved cousin of The Office. Given it's shared DNA through showrunners Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, it's simply the natural place for us to start.
We discuss first impressions we had upon its debut in 2009, how it's similar yet completely different from The Office, Michael Scott vs. Leslie Knope, favorite characters and moments, and so much more!
Then we head to the conference room to react to the casting announcements regarding the new show set in the Office universe.

NOTE: Our 250th live episode is coming up this Sunday May 5th! If you can, please join us for a livestream on YouTube at 10am PT. You can find us on our YouTube page.

Then we head to the Conference Room where we discuss workplace injuries, Foreman grills, the last time we ate pudding and more!

Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk about the deleted cold open and engage in another blind ranking to close out the show. 
Jim is my enemy. But it turns out that Jim is also his own worst enemy. And the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So, Jim is actually my friend. But... because he is his own worst enemy, the enemy of my friend is my enemy. So, actually Jim is my enemy. But—
