This week we’re breaking down “Initiation”, featuring a fantastic interview with B.J. Novak and Rainn Wilson, who give us the inside scoop on all the Ryan, Dwight and Mose moments from this episode. This episode can really only be defined as “the works”. We get introduced to Pretzel Day, Schrute Farms and Mose, and we talk about them all. We also check in at Stamford and that squeaky chair, and find a fun Jim-Pam background catch. Then we explore Stanley’s love of Pretzel Day and the unexpected bond between him and Michael. This episode is a treat so we hope you don’t crash too hard afterwards.
