316: Initiation (extended cut)

from The Michael Scott Podcast Company · host Ordinary Things Media

"I wake up every morning in a bed that's too small, drive my daughter to a school that's too expensive, and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little. But on Pretzel Day... well, I like Pretzel Day." Plant that beet seed and get in the pretzel line—this week we’re talking about Initiation! We dedicate this week’s episode to this iconic episode from season 3. We cover all the major storylines, including Pam tracking Micheal’s productivity, Stanley’s love for pretzels, and Dwight and Ryan’s sales call. And of course we mention all of the pretzel toppings, Cosby impressions, and Mose cameos that go into this episode.  Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk jock jams and perfect personal pretzels before closing with a classic round of listener-submitted trivia! Look, just get in the coffin.  Support our show and become a member of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scott's Tots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Patreon!
