Take Your Kids 2 The Office: Recent Episodes
A Dad Who Should Have Known Better
We're in the final countdown of The Office's availability on Netflix. From now through the end of the year I (who've seen the whole series roughly 743 times), and my kids (who theoretically have never really watched it) will watch an episode a day and release our impressions. Really this was just a foolish one off comment that was supposed to go nowhere, but today's kids being as obsesses as they are with streaming really (REALLY) wanted to do it... So now I'm stuck with this bad idea until they lose interest. ENJOY!
WE. DID. IT
192(+) episodes!
Just over 6 months!
Averaging 1 episode per day!
What absolutely started as a terrible idea embraced by my eldest, culminates in what was still probably a pretty bad idea - but undoubtedly a lot of fun.
For me, I got to watch one of my favorite shows yet again and got to share it with one of my kids.
And BONUS - now a few of them actually get most of my Office quotes.
We'll start a new show under a new name. If you're 1 of the 3 people who listened ... lookout for that.

In the short time Hamilton has been available on Disney+, it's quite possible Payton has seen it more times than I've watched through The Office. As such she has some thoughts about The Duel we just witnessed and its' adherence to the (alleged) Ten Duel Commandments.

The kids' minds are blown when they learn who gets The Job.
Also, Payton is bad at counting
Also, Also, we're through 3 seasons!!! It feels like just 51 days ago we started down this journey ( wow how time moves in the direction it usually does at a speed that is mostly consistent).
Also, Also , Also... There's still a lot more Office to go, so tell a friend - or an enemy depending on what you think of this - we've got 141 more episodes.

Connor joined us today and flexed on the the time he was a ring bear (or bearer - but who can be sure).
We also watched and discussed Phyliss' Wedding
You may be shocked to learn this was an episode in which Phyllis got married. Listen to the episode to find out to whom she wed.

HUUUUGE Upset in Payton's top 3 segment!!!! Some might even say world shattering (you know for the 1 or 2 of you who actually listen to this).
BUT
We watched Benihana Christmas. All 3 kids this time for the first time in a while. Jordyn took over the narrative, though, and runs away with the show. I think she's going to spin off and start her own show. Or she barely says anything at all as is her custom. You'll never know which unless you listen (but you know).

Lots of pearls of wisdom in this one:
- keep robots undersized so as not to overpower you
- give them short cords so they can't give chase
- you can't get diseases from a bird

The Pilot for this podcast too!
The inaugural episode of what was really a bad joke turned into a my new reality. I'll watch one episode a day (with some wiggle room for initial bad math and days where we forget) of The Office with one or more of my three kids. Payton is by far the most excited and really pushing this to happen so she'll be my regular co-host.
In this first episode we discuss the very first episode of the American office - AND - much as the early days of the show were very much in the air - we'll see if Payton has the stamina to keep this going through the full 192 episodes (as reported by Netflix) of the show.
