213: Double Date (extended cut)

"Michael’s been trying to get Jim and me to hang out ever since he started dating my mom. I don’t know. I really hoped this thing would just die out, but today he’s planning a birthday lunch for my mom and we have to go. No way out. No way out.” This week we’re talking about Double Date from Season 6! We cover all of the storylines, including Michael breaking up with Helene in the restaurant, Dwight and Andy’s pre-determined acts of kindness, and Pam’s big strong hand hitting Michael in the parking lot. And of course we highlight all of the scrapbooks, fish stick sandwiches, and Kafka-esque references that go into this episode. Then in the Conference Room we answer some Ordinary Things questions and close with the requested return of Office Mad Libs! Can’t a podcast just buy some bagels for their listeners so they’ll owe him a favor which he can use to get someone fired who stole a co-manager position from him anymore? Geez.
