Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop ghost runners podcast hey everybody that was a pretty good we debated about how to start for about 20 seconds and that was what I decided to come up like enough is enough I'm just gonna do something was eight eight notes in a row of the same same thing for my song pretty cool uh we're back in the basement it's been at least a fortnight since we've been down here recording wow uh brad you're looking dapper today we got a we got a hat on we got a collared shirt sunday best baby i'm in a hawaiian shirt also in the mood sunday also sunday best going to hawaii soon yes um so it's gonna be a good week

how many people did you end up getting in your group for Hawaii? We were up to nine now, total. Really? So same as last time, which is kind of crazy. And mainly strangers again, too, which is also kind of crazy. It feels like kind of yesterday that you went to Hawaii and kind of a long time ago. Yeah, it feels kind of recent to me. It's crazy that I'm going to go to Hawaii twice in 2019.

Very lucky man. Maybe three times. You never know. That's true that's 2019 still pretty young it's only 55 gone so far i learned that's true the other day where'd you learn that from twitter there's some like account that's literally like percentage of year or something like that there's a twitter account for everything yeah like do you remember those twitter accounts they were i don't know when they were most popular, but just like, is, you know, Obama still our president? And every day that was the name of the account.

And every day would tweet. Yes. I remember the chiefs went like, uh, 10 and 0 to start the season. Oh, are the chiefs lost? Oh yeah. No. Like they tweeted every day or every Sunday or something like that. And the chiefs lost?

No. Great. Yeah. Um, so I'm going to Hawaii. I'm actually going to Florida tomorrow, Hawaii on Wednesday. Okay. But you were just back from your little beach vacation. Yes. It was a good time. yeah um so i'm going to hawaii i'm actually going to florida tomorrow hawaii on wednesday okay but you were just back from your little beach vacation yes it was a good time we went with katherine's

family and had he loved the ocean hated the sand that's fine though that makes sense it's very inconvenient to get like a all right we got to get to the ocean yeah like she's like getting to the freaked out if she touched the sand. Oh, okay. I blame my wife for being such a good mom and like cleaning her face so well that she just like thought even being a little bit dirty with that sand just like killed her. You know, like she was like, she would like melt down if she was standing in the sand. Like didn't want to even walk on it?

No, not until she got to the wet sand. She was okay with like the solid sand, you know, that doesn't really get on your feet very much. Man, she did not. Like, we literally put a towel down on the, like, we had, like, pop-up tents. You know, like, those easy-up tents that we were all under. And she would not sit in the sand and play. But she would sit on a towel and play very freely and happily. Interesting.

Is that a common thing with kids? Have you Googled this? I haven't. I'm sure there's causes of cancer that happen. Yeah, you got to be careful. That personality somewhere out there. If that sand isn't BPA free, non-GMO sand. Anyway, my daughter is a very cute, very adorable diva

is what I'm learning so far about her. But she loves the water. Loved it. That's good. Yeah. How'd you do with the water? I also loved it. I literally think I was out there one day with her for 45 minutes straight. And that night I was looking like trying to read something on my phone and feeling like I was still in the water. So I'm like having a little bit of motion, not sickness, but just like,

like the cruise ship kind of feeling. Exactly same feeling yes so i i did fine in the water you became one with the ocean is what it sounds like exactly one with the waves yeah they call me the soul surfer the soul uh floater floater anyway uh but yeah it was a good time uh i actually had a funny conversation with somebody one of so it's like captain's whole extended family that was there and one of the girls what are we talking numbers wise um well this year it's actually a little bit smaller than normal but i think there was like 20 i don't know 22 we'll guess okay why less uh grandpa passed away yeah some some yeah kind of something like that sorry uh just some yeah a death in the family kind of and just people people were busy so cool anyway was talking to

this high school cousin of Catherine's who actually it's so funny I'm um I don't know maybe I'll tell you that part whatever I was gonna say tell you that in private because it's gonna be like braggadocious on both of us but like okay she is a uh camp girl she she went she was a camper at Kanakuk is a cousin of Catherine She was a camper at Canna Cook. Is a cousin of Catherine's? Yes. She will be a senior in high school next year. Great.

And like basically she told me this week, she's like, because she went to camp the last couple of weeks or whatever for being a kitschy or something, and said, because I know you and because you know Jake, like I am like a celebrity with my friends like they think i'm like the coolest person ever oh good for her because she's like she's like yeah we could do that she's like you guys were like like apparently some girl said you know b-rad to her like jennifer's her name she's a b-rad and she's like yeah i knew b-rad he's married to my

cousin she's like b-rad was my childhood like b-rad was my and then she's like yeah uh you know whatever i don't know he's friends with jake triplet oh like jake triplet has a podcast now she's like yeah i know that's the most exciting thing in his life right now right he started a podcast anyway so just getting shout outs left and right for jennifer but i had this conversation with jennifer um thank you jen we love you uh foof is her nickname don't know why okay i'm probably gonna keep calling her jennifer yep um she we were talking about her being married and i said like wait this is the high school girl yes we were talking about hypothetically so oh no no no she's not she's not i mean you, they get married young.

You know, those Christian Texas girls. Yeah. Be careful. OK. Ring by spring break of senior year. She we were talking about, like, you know, what if you get married? I said, Jennifer, hypothetically. Is there a you know, a line that you have to cross? Let's say you fall deeply in love with the guy, but his last name is just so bad. Like, is there a line where, like, let's say this guy's last name is spelled R-A-Y-C-E-S-T, but it's pronounced racist. Like, you are deeply in love with Joe Racist.

And he proposes to you and you're like, I'm so sorry, I just, I can't be a racist. His family's great. And he like, yeah, I just, please help me carry on the racist legacy. Like, like, like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Adam. But you know, I just, I just don't think I want to be, you know, part of the Hitler family. Like, you know, like there's just certain, is there a certain name out there? So it just got me thinking like, are there other names? Yeah. Hitler racist. I they're just like i guess could be last names but just would be awful right like did you see that old chapelle's show sketch where he plays oh he's he's a white person he's like a white supremacist but he's black oh no not that one actually no he he plays like a um i think he plays like a milkman in this sketch

and the family that he's a milkman for their last name is just the n-word and but they're like an all-white family and it's a funny sketch no i remember the one where he's blind and black but he's racist against black people that's hilarious which is also very funny like uh yeah i don't even know what we can even say that's appropriate but it's really funny he has no idea that he's not white but very very racist and he's just like they're at like a clan meeting and they're like show us your face y'all want to see my face y'all see my face he takes it off and they're just like oh it goes silent uh anyway just a random funny conversation no that is funny if you have any honorable

mentions out like like man i love this guy but yeah i just don't want to be part of you know the hitler family like racist and hitler are so funny like do you think that do you think there's a hitler out there that changed this like surely there's some hitlers out there like people related to adolf that changed their names i was gonna say even adolf is probably like a pretty common like german name yeah it's probably being weaned out by them. Yes. Yes. I would guess.

Anyway, but that was a funny conversation I had. I also was talking to my brother-in-law, Catherine's brother, and we play a lot of music on the beach and he was in control of the music. I was like, Hey Sam, have you ever heard of that band Surfaces? You know, and we've talked about that on my podcast. How did we get talking about that? Was this when like. it was my currently trending was that I was really into this band called Surfaces. And he looked at me funny, like, like, and I was like, oh gosh, like either I felt like either this is like a high school girl band, right? Like, like either, like, either like they

are very anti, you know, something that I like should not like this band or they are like, yeah. Have you ever services? Yeah. Have you ever Taylor Swift? You know, like, like should not like this band or they are like, yeah. Have you ever services? Yeah. Have you ever Taylor Swift? You know, like they're like super popular. I didn't know it or something. Yeah. And he's like, you're joking. Right. And I was like, I was like, no, I really liked this band. Like, he's like, I lived with that guy, like with the lead singer of that band. Oh, no way. I was like, what? He's like, yeah, dude, he was in my fraternity. And like,

he's like a great guy. He's like, he actually goes, I haze the crap out of that guy. Wow. He could do some pushups on glass. Gosh, he is a great guy. But I was like, no way. Like it's crazy. And then he goes, yeah, they mentioned you like in the, on their Instagram, but your podcast, hold on. How, wait, how did you find this band initially? Isaac told me about it. So a high school kid from Kansas city. How? Okay. Okay. Keep going. And they have a decent amount of like, they have like one and a half million Spotify listeners.

So I just figured Isaac knew about him from one of his friends who, you know, whatever. Well, one and a half million monthly listeners. Yeah. Whoa. That's big time. Yeah. They're, they're doing very well. But I don't know and and i'm only like i'm gonna say 40 confident that sam's actually right about whatever he said about this like because he seemed a little shady like like he said it's so matter of factly like i should have known that they mentioned us on their you know instagram i think it was a story because

i looked back on their actual page it's not i didn't see anything but i think this was a story because I looked back on their actual page. It's not, I didn't see anything, but. I think this is a lesson to be learned that any band or company or brand that we mentioned, we need to be following them in case they shout us out afterwards. Right. I'm going to start following them, Ellis Custom Creations, you know, any of those really high quality budding companies and, you know, fashionable things. But anyway, I wonder if, you know, know we we have connections at baylor obviously katherine's whole family went to baylor we have lots of kiana cuck friends from baylor i wonder if somebody knew it's like yo check these guys like shout you out but apparently surfaces

apparently he's a great guy another fun fact that i learned about him is that he built bunk beds in his room for people at the party that he was concerned like might not be able to drive home safely so that he like literally was like, well, you can stay at our house if you'd like, which I think is really dope. Like he's just like apparently a very good, I think he's a solid Christian dude too, from what I've understood. So anyway, um, is that where he got his band name from? Maybe, I don't know, like making surfaces for people to sleep on or something.

Just straight, solid, you know, flat surfaces. He loves surfaces. Um, sleep on them. Anyway, I just thought, solid, flat surfaces. He loves surfaces. Sleep on them. Anyway, I just thought that was wild. That really is crazy. Yeah. That's our first, I don't know, first listener shout out

who we haven't met personally. It's only like 90, or whatever, 40% confirmed. I'm not confident that it ever happened. So if anybody knows the background of how, because maybe what happened was somebody heard us talking about it and they're like, oh yeah, Jake probably or Brad probably knows that this guy is a Baylor guy. You know, kind of like a Ben Rector. Yeah, we have connections.

Yeah, we have connections to Ben Rector, but everybody's like, oh yeah, because Ben Rector's a camp guy. So like everyone knows Ben Rector. And then again, like if they're a pretty like popular band, you would think someone is following them. Who knows us? Who would have sent us their story? Like, whoa, check this out. They shouted you out on their story. I know.

That's why I'm not very confident. We got no such DMs about that. But I don't think Sam, my brother-in-law, listens to our podcast. So I don't think he knew. I don't know. A lot of listens. We'll try and figure this out. Maybe I should have talked to Sam more before I just divulged all this information about him hazing people in the bunk beds.

A popular band shout us out. I'm just going to go with that. Blink-182 loves our podcast. Shout out Blink-182 for getting a huge shout out that they didn't have to pay for in one of the biggest songs of the last five years or so. I'm going to guess I don't know that song. I was going to see if you knew it. Closer chain smokers um i don't remember i do know that blink 182 song that we beat to death in tucson i think i don't know why they really got thrown in there but it's like so many people probably got turned on to blink 182 because they randomly

got mentioned in this song really good you don't think they had heard people had heard about blink 182 before i don't know i think there's a lot of 14 year old guys yeah probably true who love the chain smokers i just think blink 182 is way bigger than the chain smokers oh no i'm not saying they're bigger i'm just different genre different period of time true you know do you know why they're called blink 182 oh do you no not at all i was gonna make something up um so uh the bassist not i don't really know his name who knows the bassist name but um somebody no trevor barker barker charles barker no that's the drummer what charles barker is like the famous one yeah yeah like whatever i don't know blink-182 very well um well now now the rhythm is off

cadence is totally off now no it wasn't gonna be funny either way uh but his dad um was an editor for this guinness bur book of world records so i grew up like loved guinness bark world records yeah i will travel saying that anyway uh cool story just grew up loving uh records record breaking always would get that book at the book fair even though he didn't need to because that had it and uh one day found that there was a world record for most blinks in 30 seconds 30 seconds and yeah he figured out how to do it and him and his friends kind of did it together and uh they blinked 182 times 30 seconds yeah they all broke the record yeah that was what was so crazy they all did it like well we're already so while playing music yeah what if we threw a metronome on here and

started blinking to that and threw a guitar in my hand and then here we are no it's actually uh was it close they did no kind of they did slow-mo of somebody's rim cycle one time and the guy was just like i'm just kidding that's not true either uh no the real answer is a little bit darker not that dark but there's 182 iterations of the f word in the tv or the tv show the t the movie masterpiece scarface 182 iterations they say the f word 182 times okay i was trying to sound smart like i don't this is a little weird iterations i don't know iterations is good iterate that's your word of the day iteration that's a good well that's just even a good fun fact is that where that that's where that band name comes yeah huh because i think

back in the day i'm sure it's been broken now but scarface held the record for most efforts in the movie shocked some people yeah the shock factor anyway that's that's uh vacation i actually have one more thing can i keep going baby um this is this is a conversation that you probably have a good opinion on because you travel a lot can't wait uh airports first of all airports how do you feel about them do you think they're the most disgusting thing in the world no okay keep going though um yesterday we were traveling back in houston i took a very long trip to get to chick-fil-a and back i actually had to take two trips within the houston airport like you left the airport correct within the houston airport but it was like i was gate 43 they were like by gate one that's not the story. So I'm not going to give you too many. Same terminal though.

Talk to me when you're, you know, trans-terminaling in the Atlanta airport. Well, but you got to train. That's true. No trains? Let's not get into that. Let's not get into that. So got my Chick-fil-A, sat down to eat it. First of all, got a large fries and they filled it up about 70% of the way.

Felt like I got a medium fry but paid for a large, I'm sorry. Might, might be a emailing Truett about that. Um, RIP. Yeah. RIP in peace. And so was about to get ready to eat my fries kind of awkwardly in the airport terminal on my lap, which, you know, I hate eating not at the table anyway, which is weird to me.

Um, and well the reason it's i don't like it is because the fries a couple of like the whole box fell on the floor whole box of fries yes okay and let's say four of them actually fell onto the floor okay so the box fell hit the floor but most stay within the plastic like Four of them were on the floor. Okay. I kind of scoop them back up into the fry container. And Catherine was like holding Hattie. Hattie was like kind of fussy, trying to fall asleep. It was her nap time, but she hadn't slept all day. And Catherine like very forcefully looked at me and was like,

do not eat those. Brad, Bradley. She's like, like, and I was like, oh, I'm going to eat them. It'll be fine. She's like, do not eat those. Brad, Bradley. It's like, like, and I was like, Oh, I'm going to eat them. It'll be fine. She's like, do not like she was,

Oh, she was like, she wanted to like yell it, but she was like trying to be so chill. Cause we're at an airport. And like, and I was like, fine,

I won't eat them. So I put them in the bag, back in the bag. She left to go to the bathroom. Daddy pulled those back out, dipped them in the sauce and ate them, baby. But here's the thing. Once you've been told you don't, you can't have them,

I don't even want my sandwich anymore. You don't understand. It took me 40 minutes to get this Chick-fil-A. Yeah, it's like I don't even care about it. I haven't had it in eight days, which is like a lifetime for a Chick-fil-A fan. But along with that, so, so, so they fell and I didn't really include this part in the story. They kind of fell underneath my seat, not directly

by my feet. So like, let's, so not a really high foot traffic place. I just, what do you think about that? It sounds like you and I are already kind of on the same page. Like Catherine thinks that airports are just, you know just a cesspool of disgusting bacteria. Like we literally got to our seats. And granted, we have a kid. And so we got to be a little more careful. But she was like spraying down our seats. Really?

Like wiping them down. So that way she can be – I mean she just claims that it just makes her more comfortable with Hattie touching everything and everything like that. Which is kind of understandable. If I had a little girl, yeah yeah I would probably be a little different but I'm very pro immune system yeah right kind of like Dwight that one time like that like I would want you to sneeze on me you remember yeah uh like yes I would welcome that instead of hand sanitizers we should have like what is it desanitizing stations yeah yeah like piles of dirt oh yeah um anyway desanitizing stations so i just wanted to see what your thought was

about it wasn't even a high foot traffic area it was just underneath yeah i love your justification got it no foot traffic like like like what's what's the dirtier place in your house the kitchen floor or the floor underneath your like right by the front door or something couch no i'll say kitchen floor is high traffic. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. At least in my house, we are in the kitchen a lot. I don't have a kitchen, so I wouldn't know. Someday though.

Someday. Come on. Love to be a part of one someday. A few more listeners. Here's my thoughts. I'm going to give it to you straight. I think it's a little disgusting. He ate fries off the airport floor.

Like I know I'm pro immune system. I'm all about like. Yeah. Yeah. I was afraid. I thought about even not, not even talk, bringing this up because people are gonna think i'm disgusting uh i was so hungry but also i get a little bit like if you're like i am so hungry i i went through all this like i'm gonna eat every single one of these i'm gonna savor each one yeah you might not let anything get in your way and i

think the fact that like i was already kind of jobbed as far as how many fries i got like i did not like that fact i I don't know. And, yeah, also what I was saying earlier, I think it, like, goes to, there's something to be said about, like, once you've kind of been told, no matter who it's by,

that you shouldn't do something, you want to do it a little bit more. And you're like, oh, I'll show you. Do not eat those. Take them. Throw those away. Oh, man.

Oh, she would, like, that's the thing. Unless she listens to this podcast, which is about, you know, 50% of the time she listens. You never know. We don't, like, she might come in one day and just be like, Brad, I cannot believe you ate those. Or you might go to your grave knowing you ate those four fries that you will never know.

Absolutely. I won't tell her. Lead singer of Surfaces is not going to tell her, hopefully. One of our friends is going to tell her. Don't snitch. Don't drop the soap. Don't drop the soap. You would be the belle of the ball.

Hey, speaking of The Office, Brad and I got something for you guys today. For the first time ever. Actually, people have probably done this before. I don't know. Never on the Ghost Runners podcast. Ghost Runners podcast, episode 11. We're doing a March Madness style bracket.

The most iconic moments in the history of The Office. U.S. television show. Right. Good clarification. Do you want to speak into a little bit of the word iconic moments in the history of The Office, U.S. television show. Right. Good clarification. Do you want to speak into a little bit of the word iconic and what we're going for here? Because it was almost like best Office quotes. Right.

And then you were like, let's do iconic. Yeah, there's a lot of different avenues we could have gone with this. And my thought was the most iconic moments for the viewer. Not necessarily the most iconic like, oh my gosh, this changed the whole life of Kelly Kapoor. Like Pam and Roy breaking up. That was a big moment

in Roy's life, but we all kind of saw it coming as a viewer. Right. And so I'm just talking about the most iconic moments as far as like either, yeah, either oh my gosh, that was hilarious. Oh my gosh, that, you know, evoked emotionoked emotion yeah these can be very serious moments yes very bad moments iconic can go a lot of ways and i think we're both humble enough to say that we did not uh this is not a you know truly 100 perfect list probably oh yeah we spent very little time yeah we brainstormed

back and forth in a text for like an hour about it and then kind of confirmed them today for like 15 minutes yeah Yeah, right before we started this. So we could be completely forgetting like... We're definitely going to be missing some. Yeah. What about the birth of Stanley's child? Whatever. Big one. Yeah. Also, real quick, I should, we should say like

if you haven't seen The Office, I'm sorry. Spoiler alert. There's going to be a few spoilers. I was going to watch that. Do you want me to get married Oh You're kidding On season four Roy and Pam

Oh I thought they were gonna work it out Um So yeah If you don't watch it It'll probably be a lot of the loop Let's Let's try to make it entertaining

For those people Yeah I think you could still listen Um And maybe we'll You know Throw in an accent Or you know

Whatever A funny anecdote Yes Who knows Yeah Um Okay So I'm We got a 16 team bracket here And maybe we'll, you know, throw in an accent or, you know, whatever. A funny anecdote. Yes. Who knows? Yeah. Okay. So we got a 16 team bracket here.

Randomize. These are in no order. I just typed in 16 things and threw them together. Bring your best. Bring your best. Should I say the bracket first and we go through it? Or just start with round one? Let's just go match up by match up. Okay.

A place will not break us. The phenomenon returns to Paramount+. The only way we go home is together. From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. Is Boom Roasted. Love it. Just when Michael has had a rough day day goes up on stage and he gets everyone back for angela angela oh where's angela oh there she is bun didn't see behind the grain of rice

yeah yeah boom roasted kevin can't decide between a fat joke and a dumb joke boom roasted uh what is it meredith you slept with so many guys you're starting to look like one uh great stuff oscar you're gay and you're better than oscar oh man look at us we didn't even prepare what else did he say uh stanley's is inappropriate uh yeah okay the one seed uh i don't even know if it didn't matter the seeds i'm not gonna say those um jim saying goodbye to michael oh wow uh was this the end of season seven towards the end of season seven see that's the hard thing about this poll is that it's a little apples and oranges a little bit like well or they're both just really good apples you know i mean like it's i love granny smith it's a golden delicious

versus granny smith like gosh like those are both in season right now kind of thing um so my thought is boom roasted is iconic to the viewer oh gosh they're so hard i know initially but boom roasted is just like man there is no like people still say that all that is one of the most quoted things from the office yeah which roasted was already a thing that's you know it's like they made that up but just it's such a simple phrase boom roasted yeah became iconic because of the office i don't know if anybody was saying, oh, you just roasted him, though. I think there were roasts. Comedy Central roasts.

Comedy Central roasts and stuff. But roasted as a verb. Yeah. Interesting. Especially now, if you say, hey, complete this phrase. Boom. People would a lot of times say roasted. Either goes the dynamite or roasted.

I would guess that some of the more casual Office fans right now are thinking, what was the part with Michael and Jim in their conversation? You and I remember that thing, the goodbye conversation, well enough to be like, man, that was special. Yeah, so what happened during that scene, Michael's leaving. He's the guy in the show. And Michael's trying to sneak out without having to say goodbye, without having these hard conversations yeah he's pretending he's leaving the next day he's like second to last day i'll see you guys tomorrow jim figures this out finds out that he's leaving today and then he sits down closes the door in his office and has this conversation or just like well tomorrow

i was gonna tell you that you were the best boss i ever had yeah and yada yada and it's just like for me one of the most emotional parts of the office i think you sense the best boss I ever had. And yada yada. And it's just like, for me, one of the most emotional parts of The Office. I think you sense the weight of like, holy cow, this is probably the last time that we're going to see a scene with them together. Yeah. And you have an emotional investment in both of them.

It's like, Michael really is leaving. He really is leaving the show. Right. And I miss him in the same way that Jim is going to miss him. Right. Jeez. Yeah. Getting teary eyed just thinking about it

when I first said these two I was thinking in my head that Jim singing by Michael was my winner the word iconic I think boom roasted I think for me is maybe my winner because it has been taken outside of the office

and still being said. Right, right. It will be said for a long time, I think. And it was also a great ending to a great episode. I mean, but then again, the other one was great into a great career. But let's say Boom Roasted and keep going because we don't need to go back and forth about that. Real quick, someone the other day was asking me uh um oh for best man uh speech ideas yeah which we've talked about it's why i went through my notes for the one i gave

and i had in there at the very top in all caps um and like i didn't write out my speech i just had like it was like bullet points and just said boom toasted and i don't know what i meant by that but it's like kind of funny you know i'm like oh i bet that was... Did you say it? I can't remember. I don't know what the joke was. I love to play on words, and I was supposed to be giving a toast, and maybe I made fun of them and said, boom, toasted. Maybe that's how you ended it. Oh, maybe, yeah. Boom, toasted. Either way, I love the idea that

I did that, whatever it was. Boom, toasted. That's what I'm saying. You guys steal that, use it. Okay, second matchup. The scene where we learn, and Jim and Pam, they all kind of learn at once, that she is pregnant. Season six, I think. Out of wedlock, so that's a ding on that one.

But keep going. They are going up against, this one's a quote, but it, you know, it captures a whole scene. There has been a murder in Savannah. Oh, man. Can you deliver it like they do? I didn't want to try to do it. There's been a murder in Savannah.

Creed just runs up. Hey, why don't I go ahead and. Sir. Oh, and you are a suspect. You are a suspect. He's like, okay, I'm going to get situated. Settle down a little, get my things settled. He just takes off. He just spr, okay, I'm going to get situated. Settle down a little. Get my things settled.

He just sprints out of the parking lot. Yeah, that's a good one. So, yeah, two iconic scenes later in the show a little bit. Yeah. One serious, one funny again. That's the opposite in a nutshell, man. Yeah, the Jim and Pam one is good. It's pretty artistic, too. Like, they're in the hospital where they can't have their mic packs on them and so it's it's muted we just see pam's face

look up at jim if i'm remembering correctly and then they hug and you you know what's happening yeah the nurse says something beforehand like any chance you're pregnant any chance blah blah and the whole time they're trying to be as fast as possible with this exam because they didn't even want to go to the hospital pam's a great volleyball player yeah they wanted to get back to this volleyball game uh but you know the boss says like no you have to go to the hospital so they went and all of a sudden i think that's probably my favorite part is all of a sudden once they realize like the weight of the situation for volleyball yeah they're like oh my gosh nothing else matters and then jim calls dwight he's like dwight send in the subs and then he's like kind of almost crying and stuff it's just like yeah he's like a teary-eyed i love you jim yeah

yeah and i i respect so much the responsibility you just found out you're gonna become a dad but still gonna call dwight and tell and like give him an update on like the volleyball situation yeah you know hey i should probably call my friends and tell them that we can't play volleyball yeah um but he like rushes back in and like busts open the door and gives her a hug it's a great scene and i think maybe that's like partially i i have more emotion to that because of i've experienced something similar to that you know but within the realm of wedlock though you would you would entered in a covenant bond 100 100 uh my take that jim yeah my yes man and wife that's what that's where our uh texas you know southern baptist minister that married us catherine brad are being joined or brad and catherine being joined

as man and wife wife you may kiss your bride it was like like i wouldn't be like roll tide roll tide and pour one out for daddy saban yeah giga maggies anyway uh i uh i was on the boat with someone yesterday uh and she was like totally normal accent you would think she's from iowa i don't know what i was got a normal accent no um kansas but she i was like uh where oh where you guys going to the where'd you grow up or something like that she's like oh i grew up down in tyler tyler like everything about that sentence was normal oh yes my childhood i mainly resided in tyler why are you saying it like that that is funny yeah it was just that word do you know that

norfolk just say tyler norfolk virginia people there pronounce it noffic no yeah noffic noffic like i always feel like why do you think i'm cussing when i'm saying noffic like i'm dead serious it's like if you're if you're a local or even if you're from virginia you probably say noffic do you know that up north in like indiana minnesota area they say hammock instead of hammock no very random thing yeah i'm not kidding no i know i know that probably seems like a hammock hammock i'm serious like this guy one of my good friends uh born and raised up in indiana he always said it and i was like maybe he's just kind of strange but then i saw it on instagram this week someone was like recording their he's just kind of strange. But then I saw it on Instagram this week. Someone was like recording their friend, like say hammock again. She's like hammock.

And it was like when you live with someone from Chicago or something like that. Oh boy. Hammock. Anyway. All right. Murder in Savannah or Pam is pregnant. Murder in Savannah is funny. A lot of great quotes come from just that kind of episode.

That's like one of my favorite. No greenbacks. Favorite episodes. Yeah. Yeah. This plantation plantation run along green bags uh i think i gotta give it to the pam jim scene though thanks i'm glad that we're agreeing on these because i didn't want to i agree i don't want to fight on the pod not after last week yeah uh next matchup uh two great ones michael kissing oscar which allegedly was unplanned i've heard that you know which makes it a little better so like the reactions that you see from the from the

actors are like ham and angela wow that's real well michael just kissed oscar right now yeah steve just kissed oscar well i guess that's his name when he pulls away i did it i did it uh that one's going up against Andy punching the wall oh man at that point you kind of know that Andy's a little strange like we see him

kick the trash can when he's in Stanford my freaking mind my freaking mind but then that's the first time you really see him lose it

man you go ahead it just punches that sucker what are your thoughts when I was watching it back in the day like when they would come out on Thursday nights I loved Andy punching the wall like I just loved the

prank aspect of Jim messing with him and calling him I think I was watching it in college and I was doing a lot of pranks in college like yes I am Jim this is me and everyone around me is Andy I'm messing with him putting the cell phone in the ceiling I don't know what do you think I agree I am Jim. This is me. And everyone around me is Andy. I'm messing with them, putting the cell phone in the ceiling.

Um, I don't know. What do you think? I think I agree. I think it's an easy dub. Oh really? Honestly for me, because that whole episode is like leading up to that.

Like the whole episode is frustrating. Like, because you see Jim try to pull pranks against Andy with Karen and with Ryan. And they say no. Yeah. And so then they do one with Pam so that you're excited you're like sweet hey they're getting their friendship back yeah because they lost it for a while and then also Andy is like annoying Michael and there's some hilarious quotes in there like like yeah Andy's just annoying the uh he's all he goes he's all been

my bidness which is ebonics for annoying the or being all up in my face and annoying the bejesus out of me. Which is so funny. That's a great quote too. Cause it's like, those are Ebonics too. And then he like does the thing. And Andy's being annoying. Like I did all four parts. Yes.

Right. Like Andy's so proud of his ringtone. Andy does that rid-a-do-do-do thing at one point in the episode. And then it just culminates like right when he's like the most frustrated at Michael for Michael saying like, no, I don't want to hang out with you. The call, the phone rings again and he just freaks out because he's because right before that he goes, sorry, I annoyed you with my friendship. Oh, that's a great gift that I'll use to people sometimes when they don't want to hang out with me. And then it just starts ringing and it's just like, oh, yes, here we go. So and then and Jim and Jim, like looking at the camera. And Jim looking at the camera, hanging up the phone.

Yeah, yeah. Just all parts of it will get me every time. That's great. Throwing the phone across the office, like up on the rafters was also hilarious. Because remember that I go to the kitchen or whatever. And they throw it across above Andy's desk. And like Stan leads the people to kind of look up at it. Yeah. Yeah. All right, that one moves on to the kitchen or whatever and they throw a cross above andy's desk like stanley so people kind of look up at it yeah yeah all right that one moves on to the uh elite eight all right next up let's see where we're at on time real quick i mean i think we're gonna be

all right oh yes we're great we're like 34 minutes into it perfect okay um just the the stapler and jello yeah we've seen over many different episodes um that is up against michael proposing to holly oh my gosh oh what are you making those noises for because i was i was like so set on saying the stapler is moving on oh really but then well because i think there are many iconic um things from the office that kind of, represent – like if you see a stapler in Jell-O now – You think of The Office. You know exactly what it is. Yeah.

Like we did that to my math teacher in high school, senior year. I didn't personally, but our class kind of collectively did. But – There's not many things in The Office that like you see throughout seasons and everything. You know, like they don't really keep a lot of like inside jokes going. you know they're so the sapling is one of the only i feel like yeah the stapler boom roasted and probably that's what she said which there's no like one that's what she said iconic moment so i don't think we didn't put that one in there yeah but like those three things are like things that have lasted over time and that was the stapler was like the very first was

it the first episode i think i know it's in yeah the pilot yeah um which is the first episode i don't know about the first episode but it was definitely in the pilot it was in the pilot um so i was gonna say for sure but michael proposing to holly like i don't i don't think i've ever really cried in a movie before or anything like that but i i feel like i would have like it it got me it got to the core of me you did cry no but but i felt it like i wanted to like in my heart this feels weird i'm like like i'm feeling emotion what do i do computron experiencing um yeah like whenever like you walk into the you see them you them with all the people on both sides of the break room. And then they walk in with that huge room of –

All those candles that set off the fire alarm. And then, yeah, the fire alarm goes off and it's perfect. Everything about it was perfect. It is very Michael. Like not just like, oh, candles would be romantic. But to have so many candles is like a very Michael thing. I feel like it's really funny. They say three years salary, right?

Three years salary. Anyway, so i wrote that one personally really yeah i think stapler and jello really what do we do oh boy i don't know man i think that stapler and jello is iconic in the same way that boom roasted is is that it can be taken outside of the office and still remind you of the office okay for that reason is iconic i just maybe maybe remind me in two years when you're married about this conversation about how you didn't think so because i think maybe it'll make a difference once you can experience that emotion of like wow that guy is like in love with that girl that's all i'm saying i think the main thing i'm taking away from this is that i'm gonna be married in two years which is awesome i'm gonna guess actually more like nine months but we we're not conversating about this again until two years.

Not really. You think? Yeah, nine months you're getting married. Nine months from now? I don't know. Dude, I don't want to let you down. I will freaking work on it. I will try so hard.

You're going to be the guy that gets engaged and married in like two months. You think so? I don't know i just i think i think that the girl you end up with is going to be so uh spontaneously quirky like like just like not care about like the traditional stuff that she's just gonna be like i don't care let's just get married let's do this fun dance party thing yeah yeah a lot of ideas yeah yeah okay sweet okay cool peace out this is awesome Yeah. Thank you for remembering. Yeah. Well, I'm going to be the DJ.

Oh, yeah. And the best man and the ring bearer. Yeah. Yeah. And I'll play if you need me to. I would love for you to play. For a short, you know, reasonable fee. Cool.

Okay. Well, you didn't make any ground, but I am going to get married in nine months. You know what? I'll say, I'll defer to you on this one. Thanks for letting me have this. Because I think actually the stapler and jello was my one of your brainstorming that was my you came up with this and so yeah and i came up with michael proposing well that was the one that i agreed with for sure yeah okay stapler moves on um lower half the bracket now uh butt licker great scene versus let's let's let's give that a little bit of context no this

is going up these are like two one seeds going up against each other the other one is going up against is today smoking is gonna save lives that cold open dang these two dang it they should they should be in the finals and they're meeting up right now yeah that's such a funny the the first one is such a funny scene with them you know talking working on their customer service skills having a mock phone call and you know working on being nicer to their clients yeah because they got bad like my name is my name is bill butlicker is that is that your real name yeah he just he just goes off but then michael talks to him and says you know i like the sound of your voice i want to order a million dollars worth of paper if i if you fire this guy next to you see that that's how

it's done oh man that was my first time watching the uh office through that was the hardest i laughed at anything of of nine seasons it was the butler scene so to me i'm like dang i really liked this it was really funny i mean it still is really funny i just think that that cold open with the smoking is going to save lives where they throw throw bandit you know throw bandit oscar falls through the wall like it's like three four minutes long too it's like very long do you remember that was the super bowl episode i 100 remember because we had just gotten a high definition tv yes i was in my parents basement great it was the first time i'd ever watched the office on hd and it was like no oh yeah it was amazing it was way basement. It was great. It was the first time I'd ever watched The Office on HD and it was like, oh yeah, it was amazing. It was way different. And it was like, wow, like this is

hilarious. I remember feeling like I got a promotion. Like this is kind of the show that really just my family watched. And like, I feel like none of my friends were watching The Office. And so I had people over to watch the Super Bowl and I got to show them this new show that was finally getting recognized by the general public and NBC. It got to to be on after the super bowl it's always just all around proud proud of the office i got to show my friends it it was just like a huge night for me i think you just proved right there that that's the winner i know i know that's the thing it's like i hate that for butt licker yeah because it's so funny oh our prices have never been lower all 16 of these are very good yeah but um that cold open is gonna make it through it's probably gonna

keep making it through we talked about doing a separate bracket of just cold open yeah just the open openings before that's a great idea um okay next up jim and pam's wedding or threat level midnight oh both very good i just the emotional side of things is just what gets me every time you're married so you don't understand man because you don just what gets me every time you're married so you don't understand man because you don't have a kid get it you're not married um i think the wedding the wedding got me another time too yeah that was another one that really got to my my heartstrings because like the the scene where like you can just imagine Michael going down the aisle with this. Arms up.

Yeah. To forever by Chris Brown. Right. And then also whenever Jim said, that was plan C or something like that. Oh, that's a great line. Or plan B. Plan A was marrying her two years ago or whatever. Yeah.

Something like that. That's a great line. That was a great line. God. And they're all wet. They're drenched from Niagara, but they don't care because they love each other. All these things go wrong with her veil, and she's pregnant. The tie.

Then he's like, you know what? That's fine. He cuts off his tie, and it's like, oh, man, I want to be Jim. I want to be Jim. I want to be Jim, and I want to find a Pam. That's exactly what I thought. I watched it my freshman year. My wife. Watching my freshman year of college. Bro broke up with my girlfriend the next day i'm just

kidding that's not just your name's not pam get out of here you're not a pam you'll never be a pam it's definitely iconic i mean just like just their entrance with that song by chris brown has like i mean all the weddings i film and i've been to and everything like people are doing that all the time well but it and door was popular before that no yeah they didn't make the song popular but it's made like well no they there was a viral video before the office oh that's right because that was a whole joke with them doing it what that viral video right I forgot that it was like played out for a year already and then they did it in their wedding

Wow I wonder if other people remember that or just had the realization like me too i completely forgot about that oh really yeah it went super viral on like facebook because i think even in the episode they're like have you seen this and pam's like yes i've seen it wow it was on youtube yeah anyway yeah so that that even aspect of it is pretty iconic i guess but um what's up oh threat level midnight is great too i mean just because that that appears multiple times in the show a little bit they find the screenplay and then they film it a couple seasons later yeah i would say the actual screenplay reading was better dweaked we've talked about season two is easily my favorite season in the

office is that when they discover it yeah no 100 bet you a hundred dollars oh really is? For some reason, I felt like Karen had a role, but I guess not. No. Maybe in the recording, like the filming of it. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. No, it's like, because that's also the night where Jim and Pam go up on the roof. Yep, yep, yep. Definitely is. Oh, talk about heart feels.

Heart strings? Heart strings. Oh, heart feels. Talk about emoticons. It's the episode called The Client because that's when Michael's at Chili's with Tim Meadows. Business gets done. Yeah. Small Businessman Magazine. Awesome Blossom.

Extra awesome. I want my baby back, baby back, baby back. I want my baby back, baby back. If people aren't very into The Office, they are going to be so confused about this whole episode. Baby back ribs. We're either losing all our viewership, listenership, or just gaining it. Steve Carell is going to be on our next episode. Baby back ribs. We're either losing all our viewership, listenership, or just gaining it.

And Steve Carell is going to be on our next episode. We better follow Steve Carell on Instagram in case he shouts us out. Yeah, I went to Baylor with Steve Carell. Hazed him like crazy.

Dude is a punk. Okay. Are we giving the nod to Pam's wedding? Jam's wedding? I would. Pam? Okay, cool.

Moving on uh the injury briscott's tots those are two full episode titles up against each other um both iconic for very different reasons wait the injuries in season two as well isn't it yep yeah that's a great one easy answer for me that was always my mom's favorite episode oh that's so funny please i have country crock you would come rub butter on my foot uh yeah the injury is hilarious oh it's so funny and there's multiple facets because then because michael gets hurt and then dwight goes and gets him and he gets an accident and so he's got a concussion michael wants to stick his foot in the mri so dwight

gets the mri michael's there just like being dramatic about everything. That's what she said, joke, in there. Yeah. That's my joke, Dwight. And then I threw in Scott's Tots in here just because it's obviously everyone's least favorite episode, but it's iconic for that reason. It's everyone's least favorite? I think Netflix has shared stats on how little that's been watched. Oh, really?

My least favorite is Survivor Man, for the record. for the record what hot take really get out of town the when he yells i have hemorrhoids it's fine i first of all i love the office so well my least favorite michael version of the like after michael leaves i don't i don't really count that as in contention for this okay but yeah survivor man is not that funny to me interesting it's fine so when i it's like saying it's my least favorite ice cream yeah like i'll still eat the heck out of that i'll drop on the airport floor i'll take some butter pecan off the floor but you know it's not i'd rather have chocolate chunk it's still better than friends friends the tv show i love friends oh the office is so much better than friends

oh anything with a laugh track although i love seinfeld anything with laugh track just feels so no no no no no really we'll get let's not let's not divulge okay diverge dive divergent nope never that is not as funny as friends i know that for sure i didn't know you liked friends so much i don't think it's that great oh my gosh it's so good it's iconic let's talk about this some other time yes okay it's oh let me just say one thing about friends is that friends stands the test of time that which is a good it is i don't know how long it's been off the air let's say 20 years maybe let's say 15 years okay i could still watch season three you know from 1990 jokes in there that make sense now yes like and still very relatable like still like stuff that's like oh my gosh that's

real obviously they use pagers and beepers you know like stuff like that it's like what the heck or home phones even yeah whatever we're we're getting off track okay but i love love friends we got scott's toss which is iconic and so disliked because of how, almost how great the writing is and how cringy it makes you feel. Like, if a show can make you feel embarrassed,

it's doing a good job. Like, even if you and I sat down to make a video with the point of making people feel secondhand embarrassment, it would be hard to do that a little bit.

Yeah. So, I think, you know, it is a good episode, but the injury i think is just um funnier i mean obviously funnier but just like so many aspects of it yeah it's like it's got sentimental value for me too because i think yeah it was one of those first episodes too like i

think it's probably the eighth episode they ever did or something like that yeah and so yeah and so i just remember watching it on my video ipod thinking this is hilarious this is great yeah yeah okay last first round matchup uh we have a quote going up against uh a cold open okay quote is then it's a date oh and the cold open is when meredith gets hit by michael in the car oh gosh these are both great oh meredith getting hit by Michael in the car. Oh, gosh. These are both great. Meredith getting hit by the car was a season opener. Five or so, maybe. Somewhere in there.

Four, five, or six, I want to say. We'll say four. Because it was right after. Then its date was the scene, right? Oh, yeah, that sent you off for the summer. Anyway, so yeah, Michael's just in his car. I'm feeling great. Yeah, it's going to be good year and then i know where meredith just gets slammed and roll up on the windshield and one of the best quotes of the office comes later michael's talking head or just

like i am a good guy who hits people with his car like that whole i can't remember the whole monologue he gives but i am not a bad guy yeah that's all he says before that. I'm a good guy who hits people with his car. Is that where he says, so sue me? Actually, don't sue me. That's the opposite of the point I'm trying to make here. Is that that same thing? Got so many office quotes, I don't know. I don't remember.

Either way, Meredith getting hit by the car, it sets up the Dunder Mifflin race for the cure versus the, the crescendo of Jim and Pam at its current point. Jim busts. You think he's in New York city, boom, bust in the room when Pam's already emotional thinking about Jimothy says,

like we don't, we didn't get the timing right. You know, all this stuff. Yeah. I remember watching it being like, no, this sucks.

They really didn't get the timing right. This sucks. You gave up a little bit. I mean mean it didn't last long because he came in the room pretty quickly afterwards but gosh i remember that it's so good she gets teary-eyed i'm sorry what was the question yeah that was i had season one through three on dvd i used to watch back in high school listen to the commentaries and pam's like those are real tears really like that was not like i needed to get ready for this scene. That's cool. She just started talking and they were rolling and those were real tears

and Jim came in with the perfect time and I felt like everything I was feeling. Wow. It was pretty cool. That's really cool. I like tidbits like that. I guess I'm just learning throughout this bracket that I'm the I'm very emotional in general. Because that one to me is like

But at the same time, you don't cry in anything. Which is fascinating. No, I cry all the time. I just don't cry in movies. Sorry. Yeah. Cry via entertainment. I think I'll start crying. For right now. Currently trending, I'm going to start crying. I think, no, I've felt more and more since

being married and having Hattie. It makes sense. It broadens your emotional spectrum. I watched October Sky last night. Oh, I love that movie. Great movie. Jake Gyllenhaal when he's about eight years old. And like, yeah, the dad, like he's got a hard relationship with his dad.

Yeah, didn't like that. And the dad kind of gets better by the end. And like that almost got me. Really? Yeah. And because I think I can relate to that more and more. And so. Gosh, that's a great movie.

It's really good. So anyway, my answer is definitely, like those are both great, funny. I can relate to that more and more. Gosh, that's a great movie. It's really good. So anyway, my answer is definitely, like those are both great, funny, I think the Meredith thing is hilarious, but I just, I'm a hopeless romantic anyway, and I just love that. Yeah, I think I'm with you.

The word iconic caters much more to than it's a date to me. Okay, next round? Let's go. caters much more to than it's a date to me. Okay. Next round? Let's go. I think this will be faster now. We've talked about everything. I haven't been filling out the brackets.

We welcome the listenership. We welcome debate on our podcast review section. Open channel for discussion. There's no way to reply or to really comment. The only way for us to even see it is if it's a five-star review. like open channel for discussion uh there's no way to reply or to really comment you just the only way really for us to even see it is if it's a five-star review it's a weird bug that's the only way we can even see it okay so boom roasted is going up against uh pam pregnant is that what one uh yeah um all right what do you think after we've talked about i think boom roasted has to go

on i think so yep it's yeah i think that's sorry pammy oh yeah i mean they're all good yeah i mean cc's great we got we got chocolate chunk going up against mint chocolate chip now you know like butter pecans out yeah yeah we're okay we got rid of peppermint boom roasted makes it to the final four um next up we have andy punching the wall versus the stapler and jello what do you think um initially well like the stapler is like i think that's like oh that's classic office like lore you know that's like a classic vision and like from the office but i there's not like a ton of like there's not a ton to it outside of like it's not necessarily really funny or really emotional it's just i was gonna say iconic and that's kind of the name of the game so maybe that's

that's why it won the first round and it's going up against something that is really funny i think that the punching of the wall was still a pretty big surprise when it happened. And I don't think, yeah, like I think if we're doing this for the casual fan, stapler probably wins. Okay.

But if we're doing this for the devoted, Hey, I've seen every episode at least twice, three, four times, you know, I think that that punching of the wall, people would say that was better,

but okay. And me along with them would say that was better but okay and me along with them would say that let's do it okay great move that one on thanks for being a friend man all right next we've got the uh the super bowl episode the cold open the fire the fake fire by dwight next that that wins going up against jim and pam's wedding yeah sorry jimbo um jimbo. Jimbo. Jimbo. Jimbag. What does he say Jimbo for? Why does he say it like that? Hey, Jimbag.

Jimbo. Oh, it's whenever Jim is impersonating Michael. Like that guy is coming to pitch something. Jim is the one saying Jimbo, right? Yeah, that's what it is. And then they just go, hey. Well, that's awesome. I love that I can say something like that.

Like what is that from when you can just yank it from your brain man because i for the record i love the office anyway but i also quote unquote watch the office while i do woodworking so i actually i listen to it yeah so i've listened to it so many times anyway you've definitely got more under your belt like when we do trivia you definitely know it better than me i'm very convinced that we could like form a four-person team and win some trivia nights of office themed things okay uh we're currently if you're out there i'm looking for a plus one now i got nine months um plus one to trivia night okay and then last elite eight is matchup is the injury versus then it's a date this is is a good one. This is a good matchup, I feel like. Yeah.

We both shared a lot of sentiment towards each of these. My initial thoughts, I lean towards Jim and Pam. I do too. Because that was like the catalyst of their relationship. Yeah, I'd never really been into a comedy like this before. I didn't even that a comedy you have all these like romantic aspects to it probably because you never watched friends probably just kidding uh or you know i think at that point you know what i saw as comedy was dumb and dumber and towel digging nights you know sure there's romance in it but not really you know like that's what i thought was comedy was okay well i mean those things are funny but

the thing is like whoa i'm like invested in this like relationship. And also I'm really enjoying this show. Yeah. It's like seeing those things come together. Yeah. I think it's just more iconic. It's just like, man. Agreed.

The show is so good, not because it's so funny, but because of other reasons too. Yep. All right. So Jim and Pam going out to dinner is in the final four. Okay. Now this gets harder because now I'm looking at a blank bracket and i'm trying to like remember all right what has made it through here okay so i know boom roasted is up there um with okay boom roasted against andy punching the wall

boom roasted yeah i think because we had a hard time even advancing any of this next one like it was a little bit of a you know eight nine versus the you know yeah i was about to say like one seed yeah like um uh pepperdine played like boston college and it was a close game but now they gotta play ku right right sorry they got duke next so yeah um okay so boom roasted makes it to the finals good for it great job um then we got then it's a date versus today smoking is going to save lives wow what a match-up what do you think i i that that opening scene is amazing it is like that opening scene where they do that is just next level pandemonium comedy it really is like dwight doing it with good intentions um love that no one notices at first it's like yeah yeah and then oh he lights fireworks

andy the fire is shooting at us uh kevin loots the vending machine which is hilarious yeah and then uh trying to ram the printer or the copier and stuff. Yeah, they throw the overhead projector. They throw the chair at the window. It doesn't break. Or does it? No, it doesn't break. Is this what gave Stanley his heart attack, too?

Yes. And then later in the episode... Barack is president! Like, that's the entire... That's the same cold open. I just think... And that's going up against Jim and Pam. Yeah.

And I think millions of people saw it. Like, that's what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. It was iconic in the show's history. I lean towards that. Let's do it. For plotline, it didn't move the needle too much, but...

It didn't, but it was maybe very instrumental in like garnering new fans like that cold open could be responsible literally for millions of people being turned on to the office for the first time good point thank you let's say all right let's move finals all right now we got a decision on our hands we've got that scene versus boom roasted what is the most iconic moment of the office. I lean towards that first scene again. I think Boom Roasted is very good. I don't know. It gets taken outside

of the office though, which is so great. You know? Yeah. The argument, if I'm a great debater, would say hey, people wouldn't have seen that moment if it wasn't for the other scene first. Like you're saying, they got attached because of that. That's just, yeah, both those are just laugh out loud funny.

Boom roast is just so, yeah. It was kind of coming off of a moment where Michael was very sad and depressed. You kind of feel bad for Michael a little bit. And then all of a sudden he michael was like very sad and you kind of feel bad for michael a little bit and then all of a sudden he comes back and just comes out hot yeah i'm just fine slays everybody yeah i think here's what i'll say is yeah boom roasted is very funny and his iconic phrase but it is just a phrase from a small part of an episode right you know it really didn't do anything for the show. The other one necessarily.

I guess it did for the longevity of the show. Yeah, it did some things for the show. Yes, I would agree. I would say, okay, let's say Super Bowl. What are we calling that? The Smokey is going to save lives scene. I think that's it. Yeah, I don't know what you would

call that i don't know how to quickly summarize it but yeah the most iconic bowl cold open is our is the ghost runners choice yep for most iconic moment in the office stamp of approval for most iconic that's kind of a fun way to figure out what you prefer it's just make a bracket right you know because if you were just asking what's the most iconic moment in the office? Like, oh, I have no idea. Right. But now that I've done a bracket, I know. Maybe I should do this to find a wife.

Make a little bracket. Let's just, yeah. All right. FYI, like, you had a good run, but, you know. Hey, you just, you weren't the superhero episode. You understand. You're the Pepperdine. You get it.

Let's be honest. It was kind of amazing that you made it to the Elite League. Yeah. Yeah. I'm probably not gonna do that but at least don't tell them that's kind of what the bachelor is though that's exactly what the bachelor is it's exactly what it is i wonder if there's a play on words to do i could do something like this come next march when march madness is around arch like uh no arch magnus arch madness you do it arch magnus i'm trying to think of something for the mcdonald's every date happens in mcdonald's arch madness um starch madness uh potato based just yeah mashed baked i don't know

oh this is a made-up scenario i'm not gonna do a bracket for women okay um well there you have it I hope you guys enjoyed that if you want us to do more brackets I think it's pretty fun probably not that funny but I think it's give us more ideas if you think of them things you'd like us to decide on or even just

we'll probably take a break from the office for a little bit but maybe we'll come back and do another office bracket we can talk about the office for a long time obviously we just reached over an hour so okay well i'll just sign us off this is brad ellis and jake racist uh signing off for this episode of ghost runners on second podcast when you were doing that bit earlier i had so many things coming to mind i was like oh that would be funny if that was your last name. And all of them I didn't want to say. I actually asked my friends when I was like, some of my friends yesterday, I was like,

hey, would there be any other funny things? And all the things they said were like, okay, yeah, good one. Yeah, everything I'm thinking of, like, I don't want to say that. Right. Good one. Wiener. What if that was your last name? Oh, dang.

Like, so, yeah. Yeah, a lot of them were just like, come on, dude. Let's not be crude. That's funny. Do you have a little jingle for the people? Send them off. Jingle for the people and the people for the jingle. Here comes Ghost Runners up into your...
