"They say everyone outgrows their friends at some point in their lives. Well, I just outgrew them all in the span of three hours."Look over your resume and put this lead pipe in a sandwich--this week we're talking about Dwight's friends! We dedicate this episode to the unique cast of characters that Dwight calls friends. They come from all walks of life, including an ex-volunteer sheriff's deputy, a former corporate employee that Dwight thinks is a hobbit, and a former student at X-Men school. We discuss each of their profiles, appearances, and characteristics to create the full mosaic of Dwight's friend group.

Then the conversation turns to working with friends, work friends, and other anecdotes from Edwin and Alex's storied work history.

This week we’re talking about The Office as classic TV! We talk about the elements that make it stand out and stand the test of time, including the characters, setting, and sensibility. And then we open up the conversation to what makes classic TV and what that means in the era of streaming. 

Then in the Conference Room we talk about the relationships podcasts build with their listeners, while acknowledging how cool it is that our listeners have that kind of relationship with us.

Grab your knife and roll of duct tape—this week we’re talking about Survivor Man! We dive into this episode from season 4 much like Michael dives into the woods for a formative, demanding experience that is done in a very short time frame. We talk about the Michael in the woods and birthday month back at the office, but we also highlight all of the nice cobblers, pants tents, and Fudgie the Whales that make up this episode.

Then we head to the Conference Room for a quick Ordinary Things segment where we discuss good ideas gone bad, outdoor stories, and birthday cakes!

"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. Someone should write a song about that."

This week we celebrate the first episode of 2026 with the last episode of our dear friend Sean. And to commemorate that beginning and ending we’re talking about the Finale! We walk through the last episode of The Office, from the gutenpranks to the panel to the wedding and then a final goodbye in the bullpen. And we make sure to highlight all the Japanese business practices, new Stanleys, and hay bales that make up this episode. 

Then we move to one last round of Sean-hosted trivia (1:39:20) with a Christmas themed edition before closing out with a nice audio tribute to our dear friend and co-host! (1:50:02)
