MSPC is a podcast about TV and movies and also The Office but mostly about friendship. Every week, hosts & longtime pals Sean Roney, Edwin Janes, and Alex Ward hang out and discuss stuff they're watching or thinking about, whether it's the hot new show coming out, old movies they hadn't seen before, new movies they're excited about, or what brought them together in the first place - The Office. If comfort food was a podcast, this is it.

The Michael Scott Podcast Company - An Office Podcast

“Life is about communication. We live for three score year and ten. And it’s, ‘Did I communicate?’ 'Yes you did.' ‘Did I get something across?’ 'Yes you did.’ ‘Are you gonna pay me for it?’ ‘Yes, lots. Thanks very much. Not why I do it, but thank you.'

Our BBC Office rewatch continues as this week we’re watching ‘Party' and ‘Motivation’ from series 2! We follow along as the staff have a party for Trudy and David gets a gig as a motivational speaker, culminating in his unforgettable presentation. We go through all the storylines and make sure to cover all of the raunchy gifts, nicknames for David, and escalating dares that go into these episodes. Then in the Conference Room we once again compare and contrast the US and UK versions of the show, before closing with some emails sent in by listeners! 

So put on those high heeled boots, put in your earring, and join us for this week’s episode!

281: The Office (UK) - S2 Ep. 3 & 4

“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. Then we head to the Conference Room for another deep dive comparing the UK and US versions of The Office. We have just one more episode in our UK Office rewatch, so we hope you’ll join us for this week’s episode and the last one on the Christmas Special! 

Do you know which philosopher wrote that? Dolly Parton. And people say she’s just a big pair of tits.

282: The Office (UK) - S2 Ep. 5 & 6

"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. We follow their storylines all the way to the crescendo at the Christmas Party to see what happens with Tim and Dawn, and to see if David can finally get a laugh or find some luck in love. And along the way we cover all of the celebrity appearances, Secret Santas, and Austin Powers costumes that go into the episode. 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. And then to close the show we do a quick round of BBC Office Trivia sent in by a friend of the pod in the UK!

283: The Office (UK) - Christmas Special

"My resolution? I never want to make Holly cry again. Unless it’s from laughing too hard. Or making love too beautifully."

We kick off 2025 with a Voicemail Episode! After a quick check-in on our resolutions from last year, we spend this week’s episode answering listener voicemails from the past few months. We cover all sorts or topics, including what Micheal would do in a time loop, Dwight vs. the computer, Jim’s sandwiches, Office earworms and more!

284: New Years Voicemail Special!

"I've, uh, I've been at Dunder Mifflin for 12 years, the last four as Regional Manager. If you want to come through here... See we have the entire floor. 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! In the spirit of the new year and fresh off our rewatch of the BBC Office, we use this episode to look back at the very first episode of NBC’s The Office. 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. And…we’re entertaining ourselves just talking about this.

286: Brent Forrester on Making The Office

“Here’s how I’m going to help out from now on. I’m going to not care, and I’m going to sit around and wait for Andy’s inevitable demise.”

In honor of the release of the Season 8 Superfan episodes, this week we're talking about The Incentive! We cover all the storylines in this episode, including Andy getting a tattoo on the stern of the old SS Bernard, Darryl and Justine, and Kevin not saying many words when few words do trick. And of course we highlight all of the Dwight brownies, nickity-names, and cold cups of coffee that go into the episode. Then we close out the episode with another classic round of listener-submitted trivia! 

When we president, they see. They see.

Kevin: Jim has got it bad for Pam.
Creed: Oh ho! Which one is Pam?

Write a letter to your crush and put it in a teapot—this week we’re drafting Office crushes! We use the fantasy draft format to cover wide of crushes that take place over the show’s 9 seasons. And of course we cover all of the stolen glances, voicemails from Michael, and Sexy Tobys that go into those workplace infatuations. Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk about what we’d do if we fell into a Ryan Howard-esque spiral into blonde tips and bowling alley employment!

288: The Office Crushes Draft

Michael: Hot, tasty. Reminds me of college. Lived on this stuff. Brain food. Mmmm... You know what I really, really miss about college? The parties. Everybody'd go. The athletes, the, the nerds, professors.
Pam: The professors would go to the parties?
Michael: Yeah! They were the most fun. We always invited them.

Grab your lunch, coffee, and notes about the microwave—this week we’re talking about the kitchen! We devote this week’s episode to the small space in between the bullpen and annex that acts as the stage for some of the best and most memorable moments from The Office. We discuss what that space means for the show, recount our favorite moments in the kitchen, and wonder aloud why the bathrooms are so close to it. Then we head to the Conference Room for an Ordinary Things segment where we discuss our own moments with workplace kitchens. 

Sincerely, disappointed.

289: LOCATIONS - The Kitchen

Oscar: So you can give that dollar back to mommy and daddy, but guess what? Next summer...
Michael: I'll be six.

This week we commemorate our sixth anniversary! And to celebrate this milestone, we announce some updates to the content and cadence of our show designed to help us evolve. We dedicate the full episode to talking about those changes and what they mean moving forward, along with mentioning some ideas and input from our Scott’s Tots Patreon community. Sincere thanks to everyone who has listened, interacted with us, or supported us over these last 6 years. We wouldn’t have been able to go this far without you. Our hearts soar with the eagle’s nest. 

What did we learn this year? Well, one, thanks to us, our tots are much, much faster at giving input than I thought they would be. Number two, never buy a fur coat with a credit card until you absolutely have the money to pay for it. And three, you should know that some people think it's cool to throw buckets of fake blood on Sean and Alex as they are walking out of Burlington Coat Factory.

290: Our Sixth Anniversary & The Future of MSPC Update

"Guess where I am going. I will give you a hint. It is a booze-fueled sex romp, where anything goes. You are correct, sir! I am headed to Philadelphia for the Annual Northeastern Mid-Market Office Supply Convention. And Jim Halpert is going to be coming, which will be fun. Poor little guy. He’s been stuck working under Josh, the poor man’s Michael Scott, as he is known around my condo."
We take the train with Dwight and Michael for our episode this week about The Convention from season 3! We talk about the different storylines in this episode, where it fits in the Jim and Pam relationship, and Creed eating Andrea’s cereal. And we also cover all the freedom fries, shots of Midori, and fun jeans that go into this episode. Then in the Conference Room we talk about what Office images we’d want on a puzzle before closing with what candid character moments we wish we could’ve seen.
Oh god, I hope it’s urine.
