116: The Michael Scott Paper Company - Revisited

“I would like to invite all of you to come away with me on a journey. [nips mylar ribbon with hedge clippers, it won’t cut, he tears it down] Welcome to the Michael Scott Paper Company!" This week we return to the topic from our very first episode, an arc that shook up The Office and inspired the name of our podcast, the Michael Scott Paper Company. We go through how this run of episodes stands out from the rest of the series, how it challenges major characters like Michael, Pam, Dwight, and Jim, and how the meatball parm is Alfredo’s worst sandwich. And we also cover all of the rundowns, parking lot soccer games, and C-shaped bagels that make up this arc. In the conference room we talk about some listener feedback on our Roy episode and discuss the announcement of a new workplace comedy from Mindy Kaling. And then of course we close with another trivia challenge.  This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp. Visit www.betterhelp.com/Scott for 10% off your first month! Learn more about your ad choices.
