137: Nellie

The Michael Scott Podcast Company - An Office Podcast

“I grew up poor. I had little formal education. No real skills. I don’t work especially hard, and most of my ideas are either unoriginal or total crap. And yet, I walked right into a job for which I was ill-prepared, ill-suited, and somebody else already had, and I got it. If you ask me, that’s the American dream right there. Anything can happen to anyone. It’s just random.”

This week’s episode is dedicated to Nellie Bertram, head of special projects, friend to Jo Bennett, and the record holder for the three slowest laps ever recorded in a formula one race car. We go through her arc on the show, starting with her interview in season 7's 'Search Committee' all the way through the finale, looking at how and why she can be a divisive character among fans. And of course we talk about all the tacos, destructive shopping sprees (she bought 13 pianos), and prank radio shows that make up her time on the show. Then we head to the Conference Room where we listen to some voicemails before closing with a round of trivia.
