"David Brent. I've been in the business for twelve years, been at Wernham Hogg as General Manager for eight of those, so putting together my team."

After many years of anticipation we finally go across the pond and dive into the BBC version of The Office! We finally are rewatching and discussing the episodes and seasons that started it all, 2 episodes at a time. We start with the first 2 episodes of series 1 (Downsize & Work Experience), profiling the different characters and how they establish iconic profiles in the show. Then in the Conference Room we make a deeper comparison between the US and UK versions of The Office, with a special focus on the two pilot episodes and how they match up with one another, all the way down to the staplers in jello. 

So grab your portable phone holster and get some batteries for Big Mouth Billy, as the ‘MSPC INVESTIGATES’!

Darryl: Help me!

Dwight: What do you want!?!

Darryl: To look good for Val!

Dwight: Val Kilmer? I don’t buy it. That doesn’t make any sense. Wow… I figured out your goal. I am going to make you the buffest dude Val Kilmer has ever seen.

Grab your clipboard and put on your evening gown—this week we’re talking about Val! We dedicate this episode to the warehouse foreman who joins the staff in season 8, going through her storylines, best moments, arc with Darryl, and more. And naturally we cover all of the love beanies, damning texts, and gloves for Nate that go into her time on the show. Then we head to the Conference Room for some quick Ordinary Things questions before wrapping up with another round of trivia!

"At first I drove myself crazy thinking about the things I should have done differently. I never should have played that joke on Erin. I never should have hollowed out this damn pumpkin in the first place. Then I realized that I was being silly. I mean the pumpkin should rot off of my head in a month or two. Right?"

Put on your costume and prep your signature song—this Halloween we’re taking about Here Comes Treble! In honor of spooky season Alex and Edwin dive pig-nose first to all the storylines, costumes, and acapella covers that make up this episode from season 9. And of course we highlight all of the apprehension kits, pumpkin head pranks, and Sexy Tobys along the way. Then in the Conference Room we try our a new trivia format before closing the show announcing the winners of our annual costume contest!

Michael: If you had to guess, who it would be based on their job performance...and who you think deserved to be fired--who would that be?

Pam: I just answer the phone.

Michael: And...sometimes you just let it go to voicemail.

This week we go back to basics, opening up the mailbox to answer listener voicemails! We take messages asking about pop culture references in The Office and characters we might be workplace enemies with, hear some feedback on our Au-Guest and Draft month episodes, and get a lot of amazing Office-quote prank calls. Then we close the episode with by mini-drafting moments where characters laugh!

"You can't fire me, I don't work in this van!"

Dwight: [to phone] Phillip, if you’re hearing this memo, that can only mean one thing, I’m dead. You are the rightful heir to Schrute Farms. Please, you must do one thing. Kill Mose before he kills you. [presses button] Mose, hey, it’s Dwight. Listen, yeah, I just want to give you a heads-up.

This week we're drafting Schrute Things! Draft month rolls into October as we keep the draft going for another couple weeks. And in this episode Alex, Sean, and Edwin pick all things Schrute, including traditions, battles, vehicles, beets, and more!

"There are several different ways to tell if a perp is lying. The liar will avoid direct eye contact. The liar will cover part of his or her face with his hands, especially the mouth. The liar will perspire. Unfortunately I spoke to Oscar on the phone so none of this is useful."

Draft month marches on with The Phone Call Draft! And this week we're joined by the voicemail legend himself, Thaddeus, from the piney woods of east Texas! We go through and pick our favorite phone calls spanning all eras and moments of the show, including Michael's mistakes, heartfelt moments, microgement, and more!

Michael: If you were getting fired, how would you wanna be told so you could still be friends with the person firing you?

Sherri: Jan wants the name as soon as possible, Michael.

This week we continue Draft Month by drafting Fireable Offenses! Sean, Edwin, and Alex go through and draft all of their favorite moments where someone could’ve (and maybe should’ve) lost their job. The draft takes us all across the show, from Michael’s worst moments to Dwight’s office weaponry to Meredith’s Outback steak coupons and more. Then to close out the show we feature a deceptively simple round of Office Trivia sent in by a listener!
