209: The Jim in Stamford Arc

Ordinary Things Media
About this episode

"I ate a tuna sandwich, on my first day. So, Andy started calling me Big Tuna. …I don’t think any of them actually know my real name."

This week we go back to Season 3 to talk about Jim in Stamford! We dive into this arc and all of the storylines, including Michael and Carol, Pretzel Day, the bird funeral, and more. And of course we highlight all of the crentists, Michael/Oscar kisses, and Jerome Bettis cameos that go into that run of episodes. Then in the Conference Room we follow up on the Dunder Mifflin ABCs and close with a bit of Toast Talk! 

Three hundred and sixty-four days…’till the next Pretzel Day.
