Dwight: Wait. [holds up fingers] He's gonna kill the store? And he's gonna fire me? Jim: Yes.Dwight: [smiles] That's two things. This week is another Casual Thursday! Each host was supposed to prepare 2 things to discuss, but we end up covering a whole lot more. We talk about shows we wish would come back, which bear is best, topics for our own TED talks, and even do a mini-draft! Then we close out the episode with another unique listener-submitted trivia.

And that truth is: none of us thinks you should bother, including returning guest Will Leitch, who agrees that We Were Liars moves too slowly; shows AND tells too fart-sniffily; wastes the talents of an impressive cast, including Mamie Gummer and David Morse; and is based on a property whose author sounds fake. We went Around The Dial with the very real The Chicken Sisters, Untold, and The Mortician before Tara's Canon pitch reunited us with Party Down's third-season premiere. General Hospital won, Doctor Odyssey (maybe??) lost, and Dan Cassino got us all a volume discount on long-running shows in Game Time. Cannonball verrrrrry sloooowwwly into our all-new episode now!

We’re looking back at Katie’s 2022 conversation with Adam Scott, who you’ll know from some truly bingeable TV, including “Parks and Rec,” the cult-fave “Party Down,” “Big Little Lies,” and now the psychological thriller, “Severance” from Apple TV. Adam is one of those actors you feel like you know. But going into this conversation, Katie realized she didn’t really know anything about him. On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie and Adam talk about his cuss-loving hippie mom, his fondness for forts, and his youthful, almost delusional, drive to become an actor. They dive into the uncanny timeliness of “Severance” and also go back to Adam’s youth and his Harrison Ford ah ha moment. No doubt, you’ll come away loving Adam Scott just as much as you thought you did.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So this is my kingdom, as far as the eye can see." This week we go all the way back to the beginning—we're talking about the Pilot!

We look at the first illustrations of our favorite characters, how it lines up with its British precursor, and the new additions from the superfan edit. And along the way we make sure to highlight all of the new talking heads, fake firings, and staplers in jell-o that go into this episode. Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk about things to we want to leave in 2024 and add for 2025! Our job is to speak to listeners on a podcast about... uh, quantities and types of Office-themed podcast episodes. You know, whether we can supply it to them. Whether they can pay for it.

"The people you work with are people you were just thrown together with. You don't know them. It wasn't your choice. Yet you spend more time with them than you do friends or family.But probably all you've got in common is that you walk on the same bit of carpet for eight hours a day. And so, obviously, when someone comes in who you have a connection with…Yeah. Dawn was a ray of sunshine in my life and it meant a lot. But if I'm really being honest, I never thought it would have a happy ending. I don't know what a happy ending is. Life isn't about endings, is it? It's a series of moments” This week we conclude our UK Office rewatch with a deep dive on the Christmas Special! We check in on our favourite characters, with David on the road, Gareth in the boss's chair, and Dawn and Lee in Florida.

Then in the Conference Room we do a quick post-Christmas Ordinary Things segment to check in on Edwin's time in Portland and Alex and Sean's babies first Christmases.

“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.
