“Life is just a series of peaks and troughs, and you don't whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it, you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good. "If you want the rainbow you've got to put up with the rain". 

This week we finish our UK Office series 2 rewatch by discussing ‘Charity’ and ‘Interview’! We go through all the storylines with a special focus on David along with Tim & Dawn. And of course we highlight all of the signature dances, redundancies, and Dirty Berties that go into them. Then we head to the Conference Room for another deep dive comparing the UK and US versions of The Office. We have just one more episode in our UK Office rewatch, so we hope you’ll join us for this week’s episode and the last one on the Christmas Special! 

Do you know which philosopher wrote that? Dolly Parton. And people say she’s just a big pair of tits.

“Life is about communication. We live for three score year and ten. And it’s, ‘Did I communicate?’ 'Yes you did.' ‘Did I get something across?’ 'Yes you did.’ ‘Are you gonna pay me for it?’ ‘Yes, lots. Thanks very much. Not why I do it, but thank you.'

Our BBC Office rewatch continues as this week we’re watching ‘Party' and ‘Motivation’ from series 2! We follow along as the staff have a party for Trudy and David gets a gig as a motivational speaker, culminating in his unforgettable presentation. We go through all the storylines and make sure to cover all of the raunchy gifts, nicknames for David, and escalating dares that go into these episodes. Then in the Conference Room we once again compare and contrast the US and UK versions of the show, before closing with some emails sent in by listeners!

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’!

"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.
