Thanks for your podcast guys, I\'ve recently discovered you and I\'m really enjoying listening to such detailed discussion of the episodes. Personally, \"The Duel\" was one of my favorite episodes since \"Gay Witch Hunt\" so I was expecting a raving review from you and was really surprised when it wasn\'t. I agree with your commentary that it was a move-along episode but I definitely think it could be considered a classic episode. Oh well, we all have different opinions and sense of humor, I laughed all the way through this episode, from the cold open through the end, especially the childlike fight between Andy and Dwight. Keep up the good work!

Great podcast guys. I disagree with your criticism of Jim regarding how he handled the duel. What do you expect him to do? He disarmed Dwight as well as he could, and he got them to arrange the fight outside the workplace (well, just barely outside). Its not like there is an easy way to deal with two men fighting over a woman. I\'m not one of the fans that gets upset when the show goes absurd or cartoony (just embrace it matt, my man), but even if you applied real world standards to the situation it would be \"powder keg\" volatile at the least. Lets not forget that there is an actual legal defense for killing a person that you find in bed with your spouse (heat of passion defense). That obviously doesn\'t apply in our situation here, but it illustrates the level of passion that exists in these predicaments. I submit that what Jim did was perfectly legit and as good as anybody else could have managed. Again, great job boys!

Hey guys Always a pleasure to hear you guys. Stayed up till 1:30 to listen to this and after going to a rock concert. I have a theory on why Michael couldn\'t answer Wallace\'s question. This season has been about humility for Michael. After losing the love of his life and his airport rant against the company, Michael is not as cocky and deluded as before. Thus Wallace\'s praise of his management style must have been a huge shock for him. He\'s gotten what he wanted and has no idea what to say. Either that, or as he said to Andy, he wasn\'t feeling that articulate that day. As for Angela, she was just drowning in the lies she\'s told Dwight, Andy and herself.
