217: Health Care (extended cut)

"The most sacred thing I do is care and provide for my workers, my family. I give them money. I give them food. Not directly, but through the money. I heal them. Today, I am in charge of picking a great new health care plan. Right? That’s what this is all about. Does that make me their doctor? Um…yes, in a way. Yeah, like a specialist." Prepare your fake diseases and get ready for Michael’s big surprise—this week we’re taking about Health Care! We take a deep dive into this season 1 episode, covering everything from Dwight picking the health care plan to Michael’s ‘Operation Surprise’ to Jim and Pam’s spontaneous dental hydroplosion. And we make sure to mention all of the hot dog fingers, industrial coal elevators, and ice cream sandwiches that go into the episode. Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk about dream Office trips/excursions, fall recipes, and more to close out the episode. This episode is brought to you by Factor!
