Welcome to Mockumonthary! For the whole month of May, MSPC is side-stepping The Office to break down other iconic mockumentary format TV shows. Up first, we are covering Parks and Recreation, the beloved cousin of The Office. Given it's shared DNA through showrunners Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, it's simply the natural place for us to start. We discuss first impressions we had upon its debut in 2009, how it's similar yet completely different from The Office, Michael Scott vs. Leslie Knope, favorite characters and moments, and so much more! Then we head to the conference room to react to the casting announcements regarding the new show set in the Office universe. NOTE: Our 250th live episode is coming up this Sunday May 5th! If you can, please join us for a livestream on YouTube at 10am PT. You can find us on our YouTube page. Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

Michael: Ok, what does this look like to you Stanley?! Stanley: Mailboxes, Etc. Grab your Prism Duro-Sport and hop into the minivan—this week we’re talking about The Injury! We deep dive into this all-time classic from season 2, going through storylines like Michael grilling his foot, Dwight reeling from his concussion, and how Ryan eats string cheese. And in true MSPC fashion we also highlight all of the CAT scans, aspirin-fortified pudding cups, and Vietnam sounds that go into this episode.

"Truthfully, it wasn't the way he fell in. It was... how long it took him to get out" Get ready for your cold call and prep your item for the ‘Do Not Mock’ list—this week we’re talking about Koi Pond! We dive (pun intended) into this episode from season 6, covering all the storylines and plot points. And of course we cover all of the micro co-management, koi stories, and little soybeans, that go into this episode. Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk about the deleted cold open and engage in another blind ranking to close out the show.  Jim is my enemy. But it turns out that Jim is also his own worst enemy. And the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So, Jim is actually my friend. But... because he is his own worst enemy, the enemy of my friend is my enemy. So, actually Jim is my enemy. But—  Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

"Nobody should have to go to work thinking, 'Oh, this is the place that I might die today.' That's what a hospital is for. An office is for not dying. An office is a place to live life to the fullest, to the max, to... An office is a place where dreams come true." Prepare your roast jokes and put on your biofeedback machine—this week we’re talking about Stress Relief! We dedicate this week’s pod to the most watched episode of The Office (per Nielsen ratings), talking through the different storylines, moments, and additions in the superfan edit. And of course we highlight all of the CPR trainings, bird feedings, and personnel days along the way.

“Ok, so without further ado…lights, camera, auction!” Join us this week for our first ever auction draft! We’re piloting this new format and drafting episodes from season 2 to put together the best collection. This draft features Alex swooping Sean’s pick, a holiday steal, and more. And after 3 weeks in anger management Edwin makes his return to the MSPC, but no one will call him Drew. Then in the Conference Room we take on part 1 of trivia sent in by friend of the pod.  "Hey, you know what? I’d really appreciate it if people would stop storming off the stage."

"You know, it's true what they say. Long Island Iced Teas are way stronger in Canada." This week we're joined by dear friend of the pod Alison Wisneski of Lady Justice Brewing to hit the bars with Dunder Mifflin crew! Going out for drinks with co-workers is such a universal experience, and the show is often at its best when reflecting these situations. We break down how it opens up the characters, what it offers for comedic scenes, and how it leads to honest and dramatic moments. "Don't tell my fiancé I'm drinking on a Wednesday." "I won't.

"I never touch another juggler's instruments." This week, with Edwin still overseas, Sean and Alex get together to discuss Season 7's The Inner Circle. The stretch of episodes to close out season 7 is a unique pocket of the Office, and with the superfan cut at out fingertips, we break down the arrival of Deangelo, this iteration of the cast adjusting to a new boss, motivational juggling, warehouse dunks, and misogyny in the show.
