  • Halloween

    Halloween

    · A Day in the Office
    Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: A Day in The OfficeEpisode Title: HalloweenEpisode #3

    You are listening to A Day in The Office the podcast with your host(s) Samaira Sachdeva.

    In this episode of A Day in The Office the Podcast, I’m going to discuss multiple Halloween episodes of The Office, and this time, I’m going to be switching up the regular schedule, by calling in a guest who loves The Office as much as I do, and asking them some questions and fun Halloween related conversations! So, I want to give a warm welcome to my amazing guest in this episode, a lover of The Office, and the best cook and baker you’ll ever meet, Erin Lee. 

    Segment 1: Asking questions

    Okay, so, as I said, this podcast episode is gonna be running a little differently than my usual style. So going in order, the Halloween episodes of The Office are season 2, episode 5: “Halloween”, season 5, episode 6: “Employee Transfer”, season 7, episode 6: “Costume Contest”, season 8, episode 5: “Spooked”, and finally, season 9, episode 6, ‘Here Comes Treble”. So now I’m going to turn my attention to the guest, and let’s hear some of her opinions. 

    TO GUESTS: 

    So, what is your favorite Halloween episode of The Office and why?Okay, in the “Costume Contest” episode, they, obviously, have a costume contest, right? So, a lot of people end up voting Oscar as the winner, who didn’t really dress up. He was just in normal clothing, but for the sake of the holiday, called himself a “rational consumer”. Everyone votes for him because they think he’s the least likely to win, but he ends up winning because basically, everyone voted for him. So now I wanna ask you guys, who would you vote for in this episode? And I mean like based on how good the costume is, not like who would least likely win, like who do you think you would actually vote for, for best costume? Going back to the first Halloween episode of The Office, called, “Halloween”, Michael has to choose a person in the office to fire, and he had been putting it off for the whole month. So, in the end, he chooses to fire Devin. Now, we don’t really know a lot about Devin because he didn’t have, much of a role for the episodes he was in, and then he was, you know, fired, so we didn’t see him after that. If you were Michael, who would you choose to fire based on performance and how their work performance is? Also, you can include people who weren’t in this episode yet, so like Andy, Erin, Gabe, Pete, Clark, basically whoever has had a somewhat main role in the show. 
    Segment 2: Looking into the past

    Now, I think in this Halloween episode, it would only be fair to discuss our previous Halloween costumes, and fun stories, and all things Halloween. So, let’s just dive into this because honestly, I’m curious to know what stories you could have to share, and what you dressed up as in the past. 

    TO GUESTS:

    Okay, so, what has been your favorite Halloween costume...
  • Diversity Day

    Diversity Day

    · A Day in the Office
    Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: A Day in The OfficeEpisode Title: Diversity Day Episode #2

    You are listening to A Day in The Office the podcast with your host(s) Samaira Sachdeva.

    In this episode of A Day in The Office the Podcast, I will discuss the Diversity Day episode of The Office, how I relate to this episode, and the cast of the show.

    Segment 1: Summary of the Diversity Day episode

    This episode is probably the most controversial episode of the whole series of The Office. So I’m going to give you all a quick summary of it, so you can decide if you agree with most of the audience when they say it’s offensive. So this episode is very early on in the series. It is the second episode of season 1. Now in this episode, Michael imitates a very controversial and racist Chris Rock routine. Everyone from the office files a complaint to corporate about Michael, which forces them to undergo a meeting in which a consultant, known as Mr. Brown in the episode, teaches the office about the importance of diversity and tolerance. Michael being Michael insists on teaching the importance of diversity in the workplace in his own way, and takes over the meeting. Okay, so if you think that this episode is bad so far, just wait until you hear about this part. So now we know that Michael has taken over the seminar to teach it himself. Which is already bad enough as is. And as we also already know, Michael is very oblivious to pretty much everything that he does. So, Michael assigns each staff member with a card that has a different race written on it. With these cards, he tells the staff to treat people how they would be treated if they were the race written on their cards. So now, all the staff members are basically very confused but they all know Michael. They know that this is the type of oblivious person he is, so they didn’t really question him. But, after a while, the staff start to get very aggravated and annoyed with Michael, and here’s why. Michael begins to claim that he is now “two fifteenths Native American.” which is not okay to say, considering that he is not, in fact, “two fifteenths Native American” Along with this, Kelly, the same staff member from my last podcast episode, walks into Michaels racist seminar. She was out in a meeting of her own, so she didn’t exactly know what was going on when she walked into the conference room. So, you know, she wasn’t there, meaning that she never received an index card from Michael. However, despite not receiving a card, he delivers a very racist impression of Indian people to Kelly, who takes offense and slaps Michael. So, this episode is very controversial for many many reasons, and I think that we can all agree that this episode probably wouldn’t have even aired, had it been made within the past (at least) 4-5 years. 

    Segment 2: How I relate to this episode of The Office

    Okay, so if you listened to my first podcast episode about Diwali, you already know that I (along with Kelly) am Indian. And I feel like we need to talk more about how it isn’t okay to mock accents such as Indian ones. And although I personally haven’t had someone be racist to my face, regardless, I still know that it, well, exists. I know even of people in my grade who have said racist remarks about Indians and even other cultures...

    Show Name: A Day in The OfficeEpisode Title: Diwali DiscussionsEpisode #1

    You are listening to A Day in The Office the podcast with your host(s) Samaira Sachdeva.

    In this episode of A Day in The Office the Podcast, I will discuss the Diwali episode of The Office, how I relate to this episode, and the cast of the show.

    Segment 1: Summary of the Diwali episode 

    In this episode of the third season, Kelly hosts a Diwali party and invites everyone from the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company office. (including her boss Michael, which if you don’t already know, is an immature, self-centered, comedic, and a clueless person.) Of course, Michael is thrilled and excited to go, because why wouldn’t he be? He is an extreme extrovert. Along with this, he brings along his girlfriend Carol who was under the impression that it was a costume party because that is what Michael told her, so they both showed up in a costume. Carol, of course, was embarrassed when she dressed up as a cheerleader when she was surrounded by people in Saris. Along with the embarrassment that Carol was already facing, Michael got a little ahead of himself and decided to propose to her at the party, in front of all of his coworkers and Kelly’s friends and family, when it had only been their third date. Meanwhile, Kelly’s parents are interrogating Ryan (kelly’s boyfriend) about his life goals, and when Ryan responds with “traveling” and “buying an Xbox”, her parents begin to pressure Kelly to marry an Indian doctor, which of course, is the perfect person according to Indian parents everywhere. Now, going back to Michael’s proposal, Carol said no because as I mentioned earlier, it had only been their third date. I mean, who proposes on their third date? If I were Carol, I would’ve said no, too. Michael became very sad and goes to Pam, who was dealing with her own troubles. Pam had just gotten out of a three-year engagement, and the guy she liked, Jim, just moved away to Stamford for a new job opportunity, while they all live in Scranton, Pennsylvania. To shorten this up for you, Michael says that he and Pam are “both victims of broken engagements” when Michael was never engaged, and so he tries to kiss Pam. She obviously refuses, which led Michael to go back inside and in order to cheer his and everyone else’s spirits, sings a song honoring the celebration of Diwali, which is the concluding scene of this episode. 

    Segment 2: How I relate to this episode of The Office

    So now you’re probably wondering about how I, personally, can relate to this up and down episode of The Office. For starters, I am Indian, similarly to Kelly, and I also celebrate Diwali. Every year my family and I love to celebrate together and go to Diwali parties. I am also really excited to say that this year will be the first time where we have a day off from school in honor of Diwali! If you ask me, this is very long overdue, but honestly, I am just glad that we are finally getting a chance to celebrate on our own time, and people being understanding of that. As I said, my family and I also go to Diwali parties, and if we don’t we love to celebrate ourselves! One time in particular when I went to a Diwali party at my neighbor’s house, this was around the time when I had just started watching The Office for the first time,...
