99: Office Olympics

“Every so often, Jim dies of boredom. I think today it was the expense reports that did him in. And our deal is that it’s up to me to revive him.” How do you escape the doldrums and ennui of the office? If you’re Michael Scott and Dwight go to sign the papers on the condo where your grandkids will someday learn to walk. If you’re Jim and Pam, you host the inaugural Office Olympics. We dedicate our episode to this episode, discussing all of the cathedral ceilings, flonkerton races, and carpenter ants that make up this epsiode. In the conference room this week we talk about Brian Baumgartner’s new podcast that compiles the interviews from An Oral History of The Office, have a quick ‘Actually’ moment, and react to John Krasinski’s SNL Office theme. Then we debut a new segment where we talk about our own lives called Ordinary Things. It smells like cookies. Yes it does, my friend. Yes it does.   Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!
