Episode # 98 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds Matt, Ian, and Kevin staking out their respective pee corners. Keeping it in the family? NO no. No. No no no. No no no no. Michael cheeses off his subordinates when he covertly hires his estranged nephew to be the new office assistant. The new, HORRIBLE, terrible, annoying office assistant. Maybe it's in the genes? Meanwhile, Gabe dates Erin, Creed hates Betty White, Ryan whores Wuphf, and Pam attempts to win back her husband's love by pranking Dwight. I'd normally say something incredibly pithy and clever here, but... if you'll excuse me, I believe my strawberries are ripe. Incidental music provided by Music Alley from Mevio.

It was the new TWSS, a tent pole production, as it turned out, with Ian's triumphant return from the never-ending well of eternal bliss that is Detroit Sports. Matt veered off the path a little and decided to speak into a tin can instead of a microphone, but both Kevin and Ian sounded fine, and, what's more, the episode came out on time, a fact welcomed as genuinely as a lighthouse beacon on a foggy night at sea after the boys limped to the finish line a year ago and Matt's relocation to his new kingdom was threatening to put a kibosh on what can only be described as, "The Definitive Podcast of a Generation." I was used to falling victim to Matts disgruntled-e-mailer-lower-octave-mocking voice, after all, this wasnt my first rodeo, the venerable host and myself had tangled fingertips-to-Sunday-Night-lips before. So when Matt took me out behind the woodshed right out of the e-mail segment box, I wasnt fazed. I, a longtime supporter of the theory that there cannot be too much Dwight, had exposed Mr. Kevin Crossman for the Schrutist that he truly is, and despite Matts attempt to downgrade my vitriol with his dulcet tones, it was clear as day as Crossman stammered through his explanation, that I was the victor of this exchange. Chest puffed and cheeks ablaze from a hard fought battle, I settled in as Kevin then read Tra Gehls e-mail, and prepared myself emotionally for what promised to be a heart-pounding climax to this opening night juggernaut, this tour-de-force Podcast. Then it happened. Host and co-hosts returned fire. Again, our friend from above, Brandon says, So Matt delivered the first blow with an evil cackle and an immediate dip in pitch, oh yes, he did go back to the well and resurrect the disgruntled-e-mailer-lower-octave-mocking voice as he read my Nepotism commentary. But that was merely the first salvo. I dont know, Matt returned to host-voice. This is a little cynical. BOOM. I I found a lot of the lines rather funny. POW. I didnt think it had anything to do with bringing Holly back. He landed the final shot of his left-right-left combo with wicked fury. Then it was his friends turn. Still covered in soot from an 0-16 hell that only one city in history has had to endure, Ian spit flames from his tortured tongue like Lucifer himself: No, I think thats a pretty big presumption. It was a kick to my ribs as I crawled toward my corner of the mat, bleeding from the mouth and praying to find a white towel to toss. But they werent done. No. For you see No one messes with Kevin Crossman. There was a point to be made here. Matt smooshed my face to the ground with the underside of his boot: That could be interesting, but I think Flenderson is the guy thats going to be doing the training for now, so The blow-off so As toxic as viper venom. I was down, and certainly out, but, despite my anguished plea, there was no mercy to be had. Like the Phoenix, rising from his bed of ashes, Kevin stepped to my battered soul and delivered the kill shot: At least to start. Bruce Willis couldnt have delivered the line better. And with that, rebuked and sent asunder, I returned to Hulu.com and re-viewed Nepotism with a better attitude and a willingness to let my post-Michael-years anxiety go. And wouldnt you know it, I enjoyed the show.

Agreed that Pam should be the "emotional center" of the show when Michael leaves, but that doesn't mean she needs to be promoted to manager...it would work much better for her to observe and react from her current position. Following that logic, the new boss doesn't need to be the new "star" of the show...it could be more of a supporting role.

Agree with Andy, Pam is going to be the emotional center of the show when Michael leaves. I was feeling a bit apprehensive at first about what is going to happen to the show after he leaves. But now, I'm excited to see what they're going to do with the show now. Great to have everyone back, and thanks for getting the episode up so fast.
