Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hi there. Welcome to our second drink of Chair Model. In this episode, we talk about the Scranton Business Park Five Families. We got some fun behind the scenes tidbits from Paul Faust, who plays cool guy Paul. And of course, we discuss Michael's love for the Chair Model in the Office Supply Magazine.
Chapter 2: What happens to Michael after the disastrous dinner party?
It's one of my favorites. I know it's so perfect. I'm going to kick us off with a fan theory that a lot of you wrote in about. Douglas Kay and many others said, I always thought the chair model looked like Jan and that's why Michael was so obsessed with her.
Chapter 3: What insights does Paul Faust share about his role on the show?
And Asma wrote in and said, the chair lady is Jan with black hair. Jenna, what do you think about this theory? Should we look at a side by side? You know, I love a side by side. I know.
Chapter 4: How does Michael's obsession with the chair model affect his dating life?
I have it right here. I kind of, it's the eyes. I see it a little bit. I see it in the eyes. Otherwise, I don't see it. If I'm being totally honest, Douglas and Asma, I'm sorry. I see it a little bit. I do. I can see why Michael, it looks like he has a type. I mean, his type is woman.
Chapter 5: What fan theories are discussed about the chair model's resemblance?
Truly. Well, we also talked about the gal that Kevin is going to set Michael up with, you know, Wendy. But then Michael calls the phone number that Kevin gave him and it's an actual Wendy's restaurant. I had reached out to Kent Sabornak to find out who played Wendy and he didn't remember. But guess what?
Corey L. wrote in to tell us that the voice of the Wendy's employee was played by Kelly Leskowitz, and Corey included a link to Kelly's IMDb page where it is listed among her many acting roles. Well, Angela and I thought she crushed this moment, so I think we need to hear it.
Okay, Wendy, hot and juicy redhead. We'll give this a try.
Wendy's.
Hello, Wendy. This is Kevin's friend, Michael.

Chapter 6: How do Kevin and Andy confront the Five Families for parking spaces?
This isn't Wendy. Oh, I'm sorry. Could you put her on, please? Dude, this is a Wendy's restaurant. Damn it, Kevin. Okay. Could I just have a frosty and a baked potato, please? You have to come to the restaurant to order food. Well, send somebody to pick it up. Just have it ready. It's ready now. Well, put it aside.
I love her read on, it's ready now. I love that line read. I loved everything that she did in that moment. I thought it was just so great. Well, Michael also goes on a cringy blind date with Pam's landlady. And some folks wrote in asking us if this scene was a nod to the BBC office. You know, when David Brent attempts to go on a blind date with Susan in the Christmas special part two.
Oh, I remember. It is also super cringy. And you know what? I think they're right because both scenes start out so similar. One's at a cafe, one's at like a bar, but they start out very much on the same tone. I'm going to play the first 36 seconds of this scene in the UK version. And then we're going to play the first part of Michael's blind date.
Yeah, I spoke to her on the phone. Seemed quite nice. So, uh, I feel a bit sick, really. Not nerves, um, excitement, really. Not sexual, you know. She said to be wearing a white chiffon scarf to help me spot her.
So, um, oh, for fuck's sake.
David? Huh? Yeah, hiya. Susan. Yeah, yeah. Can I get you a drink? No, I'll get one. Have you got one? You go and sit down, I'll get one.
Our suspect has straight brown hair. She is wearing blue jeans and a black top. So, behold our bachelorette. Give her a 10 for looks and a three for her ability to describe herself. Hello, my lady. Michael? Ah.
Are you Michael Scott?
Is who Michael what?

Chapter 7: What are the details of Michael's blind date with Pam's landlady?
Hi, everybody. Hello from our closets. Still here. Still in our closets. Still surrounded by Josh's many, many hats. So many baseball hats. So many. Does he have a favorite? Can we get him on the pod to ask him to give us a breakdown of these hats? Are they significant emotionally in some way? Do they represent a team he loves? I mean, no, I think Josh is all about the fit.
And it looks like he loves the Patagonia kind of trucker looking hat. It does with the adjustable band thing, the little plastic snappies. Josh, I hope you are excited that we shared. Listen, there's other things in the closet. Right over my shoulder, I notice all the time that there's the, what's the stuff they spray in their shoes, Jenna? Febreze? No, all dudes do this.
They spray that stuff in their shoes. Odor eaters? Yes, yes. Anyway, oh, now Josh, you're really happy. I've shared with everyone that you spray your shoes. Well, because we need to talk about this longer, I am really curious about the very bright red pair of shoes over your shoulder in the shoe cubby. Whose are those? Oh, those are my red Converse. Okay, so here's the thing.
Yes, this is Josh's closet, but I occupy most of the shoe space. I have lots of shoes. You have overflow that goes into his closet. Yeah, he's real happy about it. Well, guys, it's what you're here for. A breakdown of Angela's closet. Next week, we'll do my closet. But this week, we are talking about Chair Model. It's so good.
Season four, episode 14, written by BJ Novak, directed by Jeffrey Blitz. With a duo like that, you know it's going to be good. I love the simple idea that Michael has a thing for the model in a chair catalog. I just love how simple and perfect that is. Yes. Let me give you a summary. Do it.
Michael is unable to pick a new chair for his office after he becomes infatuated with a woman modeling office chairs in a catalog. He decides he's ready to rejoin the dating pool. He's inspired by his love of the chair model. Meanwhile, the Dunder Mifflin parking spaces are being used by a construction crew doing work for W.B. Jones. And the staff of Dunder Mifflin has to park in a satellite lot.
Kevin and Andy join forces to confront the other bosses of the Scranton Business Park to reclaim their places in the main lot. Simple storylines, absolute perfection. Also, absolutely true. Yeah. You know, I had to park in a satellite lot when I had my admin job. If you were an executive, you could park in the parking lot of the building, this high rise in downtown Los Angeles. Yeah.
I did not get a parking space. I had to park in a satellite lot that was about a half a mile away. And it wasn't a big deal, except for on days that it rained. Well, here's the thing. You know where you rank in a company by where you park. Oh, yeah. Well, Michael has a spot right up front. He's not concerned.
Well, later he's going to try to imagine what it would be like if he didn't have that spot. But it takes two employees angrily confronting him for him to get there. What are our fast facts, Jenna? Fast fact number one, the original title of this episode was Michael Dating. But they realized that they would have to release the name of the episode before Dinner Party had aired.

Chapter 8: How does the episode explore the theme of love and relationships?
For a year in my closet. I have been sitting in my work bus chair and I was going to save it for work bus, but we're having all this chair talk. I couldn't hold it in anymore. Well, I just have to say this is why our show is so great, because getting a chair is a very relatable big deal moment.
When you are in an office job or any job, your chair, you sit in it all day and they created this amazing, wonderful storyline out of it. Yes. And thank you, Phil Shea, because I had gotten a desk, you know, I had in the corner of my guest room, a little desk where I would sit and do work. And I didn't have a proper desk chair. I was using one of the kitchen chairs.
And I was sort of talking about it on set. And Phil Shea was like, Ange, I have some extra chairs from WorkBus. Do you want one? I was like, yes. This is making me happy. I know. We all have a chair story. And I have been sitting in it for a year with you and haven't told you because I was going to try to work it in a work bus. But there you go. Let's take a break.
And when we get back, we'll get into it. All right.
What's up, guys? I'm Candice Dillard Bassett. And you may know me from my time on The Real Housewives of Potomac or as a part of the latest cast of The Traitors. And I'm Michael Arsenault, author of the New York Times bestseller, I Can't Date Jesus. On our podcast, Undomesticated, we don't just say the quiet parts out loud.
We're putting it all on the kitchen table and inviting you into the chaos. If you're ready for bold takes, real talk, and a little fun, come join us. Listen to and follow Undomesticated, an Odyssey podcast available wherever you get your podcasts.
We are back. We open on a Jim and Pam talking head. They are standing outside of the Dunder Mifflin office, and they are explaining that due to some renovations in the building, all of their parking spots are being taken up and they have to park in a satellite lot and walk to work. They're being really positive about it, though. Yeah, they saw a junkyard dog eating, you know, some of a chicken.
Yeah, eating the bones of a rotisserie chicken, Angela, which was based on a real story. It was. There was a junkyard next to our real office building, and there was a junkyard dog who they would throw like old rotisserie chicken bones to. We've talked about this junkyard and the dog. We got very invested in this dog's life that lived over there. We did. And it made it into an episode.
Yeah.
