Welcome to the Jungle was mine, But I 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.239 don't even know that that makes any sense. Hi, there 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.200 It's me Rain Wilson. I played Dwight K. Shrewts on 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.200 the Office on NBC, but more importantly, on The Office 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:48.120 Fantasy Football League. I am the manager of Satan's Ballerina's.

But I 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.280 be sound a little different. You might notice things a 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.120 little different, right, Well, that's because we're not in a studio. No, 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.400 we're at one of my well favorite establishments here in 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:16.160 San Diego, California, getting ready to cheer on the Green 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:21.239 Bay Packers. That's right, football is back, baby. But before 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.680 we get too he joined the game. I hope I 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.440 told you before I was going to bring back some 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.240 of the other managers of our Fantasy football league. And 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.680 that's what I'm gonna do today. Today's guest is none 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:41.880 other then Mr Seahawk, Mr Rain Wilson himself. Now, Rain 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.280 has been a part of our league since the very beginning. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:50.200 Like myself. Some might say he's old as time. Okay, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.760 nobody says that, but he does have a certain reputation, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.280 if you will, in the league for being how do 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.720 I put this heat? He a trash talker. Okay, he 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:06.800 he likes to stir the pot, but hey, that's what 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.000 makes us love, right, or at least tolerated. Now, Rain 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.839 and I we're gonna go deep. This is a deep dive, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.200 after all. We're gonna talk everything from the kickoff of 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.640 the football season to some of his big boot projects, 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:28.720 his adventures, and the meaning of the universe. So that's right. This, this, 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.800 this is gonna be a big one. That's what she said. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.039 So settle in, grab a cold one if you want 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.360 no pressure, I definitely will, and get ready for the incredible, 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:52.599 the unmistakable Rain Wilson, Bubble and Squeak. I love it, 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:59.359 Bubble and Squeak. Bubble and Squeaker cook at every month 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:13.240 left over from the nut Before. I was going to say, 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.040 I have absolutely the worst fantasy football team in our league, 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.280 but then I looked at yours. But I don't understand 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.000 how with the team that I have, I don't understand 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.120 how I got seventy six points. All right, So we're 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:33.920 gonna get into well discussing some of life's big questions 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:40.240 and Dwight shrewt. But we're here for some football. Rain 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:45.520 seventeen year of the Office Fantasy Football League. First off, 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.120 let's let's talk about the draft a little bit. Now. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.440 We did the draft. We did a zoom draft, yes, 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.560 and and a snake draft, not an auction draft, a 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.840 snake a snake draft, not an auction draft. And we 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.960 were on zoom most of us, most almost all of us. Now, 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:08.839 I do have to say this, I thought that the 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:14.839 the zoom idea is great, but nobody talked and everyone 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.000 was looking at their sheets and the thing. So every 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.440 time I would look at the zoom, all you see 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.840 are people looking down or looking straight ahead, but not 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.720 looking at the camera. They're looking at their things. That's true. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.200 It's kind of ridiculous. I feel it's true that it 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.640 was kind of still it was not. It was kind 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.760 of a letdown socially, and it wasn't. It wasn't the 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:37.960 rip roaring fun I thought it would be. I was 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.920 the one who pushed for a zoom although you had 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.800 done it last year. But I couldn't do it last year, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.919 and last year was more fun. I don't know why. Yeah, 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.599 people are taking take it seriously. Well they should, Yes, 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.599 they do take it now, you, I would say, you 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.240 take it as seriously as anyone. Sure, Yeah, I take 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:03.000 it very seriously. Now, you you played David Wallace, Yes, 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:07.080 you played David Wallace and son and and it's mostly 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.320 his son. Yeah, and then they smoked me and Tyreek 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:16.040 Hill thirty two points, Kelsey twenty three points, uh, Jamaar 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:21.080 Chase from Cincinnati nineteen points, Robbie Gould from San Francisco 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:25.360 got fourteen. Um, give me a break. That's more than 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:30.000 Austin Ekeler, my first pick in the kicker from San Francisco. So, 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.800 but what about all the office fans listening right now, going, 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.880 I don't play fantasy football. I don't understand what the 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.480 hell you're talking about. Well, I don't. I mean, I'm 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.960 not that concerned about that right now, because here's the 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:46.000 thing we do. And so I want I want to 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.200 I want to talk about about about me for a second. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.200 And our friend John Krasinski, we had our draft at 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.440 a at a normal time in the United States. He 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.720 was in Romania. The point about bring him up is 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.239 that I played him and because he was traveling in Romania, 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:11.600 he was auto drafting, and he destroyed destroyed me. I 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:16.960 mean that's particularly frustrating, Like he got Jalen Hurts who 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.760 scored I don't know, seventy two points. Yeah, he's got 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.760 thirty thirty five points from Jalen Hurts, who would have 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:28.400 thunk it. Aaron Rodgers one point three to your good buddy, 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:34.000 Aaron Rodgers. M v P Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, it was, 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.400 it was. It was not the best week for the 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.280 Packers and certainly for me. It's very What's what's the 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:46.960 name of your team? Satan's Ballerinas. That's my old school name. 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.079 Sometimes I mix it up when I have a good pun. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.400 I have another league where I drafted as an auction league, 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.800 I drafted Russell Wilson, and um I call it, let 0:08:55.880 --> 0:09:02.439 Russ cook meth? Is he cooking meth? I don't know, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.800 because everyone says let Russ cook. That's kind of the 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.960 Seattle Chant because they want him to get unleashed so 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.040 he can just kind of do his thing, which they're 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:11.800 finally starting to let him do. And he threw for 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.800 four touchdowns and he's kind of unstoppable. But I like 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.240 to let Russ cook meth because it makes me laugh. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.000 You you have, well, you have Jason Myers, you have 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.640 the kicker, you have all I have. You have no 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.120 other disappointing. I'm gonna get I'm gonna I'm gonna trade 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.959 for someone. I'm gonna get someone going here. How do 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.800 you feel about Seattle this year? I feel really good 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.960 about Seattle, But there are some other teams out there 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.559 that are really you know, the Rams are going to 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:45.360 be tough to beat. This year is going to be 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.040 tough across the board. Yeah, and and Arizona as well. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.080 And I think there's gonna be a few weathers that 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.520 that pop out there. And Tampa Bay was looking surprisingly 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.640 stout after their Super Bowl win on Game one against 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.640 a tough Dallas team. Listen to us, we should have 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.839 our own ESPN show. I mean, really shouldn't we? We 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.080 want to talk about the office at all. I feel 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:15.320 bad for the people going. I want to talk about this. Well, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.280 we will, we will, we will talk about the office. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.560 But I talked to Steven Socks recently, our commissioner of 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:26.320 the Fantasy Football League. He told us that you offer 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:31.000 the worst trades to anyone in the now? Is this now? 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.640 Is this? Do you when you're when you're proposing that trade, 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.600 are you just hoping that the other person is not 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.839 paying attention? No, when you offer a trade. It's like 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.920 it's like you go to a market in Morocco and 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.079 you're like, oh, that's a nice rug. How much is it? Nine? 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.240 Do you know what? I'll give you thirty Oh you 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:56.160 are you're crazy? Okay, sixty, I'll give you thirty seven. Okay, 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.000 and you meet and you you buy it at fifty dollars. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.000 What I mean like, that's how you're supposed to do 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.120 the draft or a trading. That's what you do a 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.640 trade too. So it's like when I say like, oh, 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:12.120 I'll trade you, you know, um Ryan Tannehell for Russell Wilson, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.600 that means like you, we're gonna meet in the middle, 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.440 We're gonna find something like like work with me here, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.160 work with me. That's my idea is that you kind 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.360 of work it along. But some people are like they 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.079 get insulted and like no, and and then it's done. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.559 What about what if I what if I offered you 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:37.199 Ezekiel Elliott for Austin Ekeler, I would seriously consider that. 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.199 Do you want to trade? Do you want to consummate 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:49.840 that right now? Yes? Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.520 do it. Ezekiel Elliott for Austin Ekeler. Yep, we're done, 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.040 and now we have a trade done consummated publicly. Uh, 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.319 so we'll see what happens. So what what else is 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.280 going on with you besides fantasy? What are you? Are 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.000 there any work projects that are happening right now? Yeah, 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:12.480 thanks for asking, Brian um Uh. I just did a 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.840 movie with Brian Cranston and Annette Benning called Jerry and 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.280 Marge Go Large, and it was a very funny and 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:24.240 interesting film. I'm really excited for people to see it. 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.880 It's based on a true story about this couple in 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:31.000 Michigan that figured out that this certain lottery game, if 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.000 they played it the right way, they could be guaranteed winners. 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.520 So they got all the people in their small town 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.520 in Michigan to over the years to be playing this 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.120 lottery game and made dozens and dozens of people, I 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:47.479 won't say like millionaires, but kind of saved their town essentially. 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.760 Wait a second, this is a this is a true 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.080 This is based on true story. True story. I've heard 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:56.040 this story. Yeah, yeah, it's an amazing story. And the 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:57.600 name of the article if you want to google it 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.840 is Jerry and Marge Go Large and I play a 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:05.840 supporting role of the guy who runs the liquor store 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.360 where they buy all their thousands of lottery tickets. Um, 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.640 I kind of come along for the ride, So that's 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.440 it was. It was a lot of fun working with 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.000 Brian again, and people who know that he directed the 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:20.960 work Bus episode of the Office, terrific director, multitalented human being, 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.960 great human being, and Uh. I shot in Atlanta, your hometown, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.280 which I have to say was the first time I've 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.719 shot there. I've been through a bunch of times. I 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:39.000 loved it. Atlanta as an amazing town, great food, culture, diversity, vibrant, traffic, sucks, 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.760 but it was really a phenomenal. And then I'm gonna 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:47.160 go I'm gonna go do uh a part on this 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:52.360 new AMC limited series called Dark Winds, which I know 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:56.360 sounds a lot like farts. Warm Winds would be more so, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:01.000 but Dark Winds, it sounds like farts. So I'm gonna 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.200 go do that for a few days. And and then 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.880 I got a bunch of other thing. I'm always cooking 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.559 up stuff, Brian, all of stuff. No, I know You're 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.280 always cooking up stuff. Now I'm gonna I'm gonna for 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.800 one moment, I want to go back to your other 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:19.440 movie I did. Hey, let's see if I can reconstruct 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.960 the plot of this. The first movie I ever did 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:26.520 was called Herman Usa Okay, and it was about a 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:31.040 small town that, oh gosh, I don't want to mess 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:36.880 this up, that had too many men in it and 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:42.840 not enough women and the town was dying. And so 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:48.240 they similarly put out an ad basically like we're looking 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.480 for women to come to town, basically to try to 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.480 get the ratio up. And it worked and that town 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.600 was saved as well. Herman Usa Available. I have no 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:07.400 idea where from somewhere circa late nineties ish, I don't know. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.480 So I did. I did. I did a movie like that. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.560 Where not your address, but where were you? What area 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.280 were you staying in Atlanta?

Also, you have a new pet if 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.800 we have a My wife is insane, which I love, right, 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:03.200 She's it's very funny. There is a picture of her 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.160 that she has framed on her desk of her feeding 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.359 these geese that are on her port or her deck, 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.280 like in the seventies when she's a child. She's a 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.040 little girl in a white dress like just just with 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:20.359 eyes filled with wonder feeding these geese. And she loves 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:25.120 animal I mean, she's animal gaga crazy. And she has 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:31.119 horses at a nearby stables. And this is a true story. 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.520 Her horse died, which was very sad, but it was old. 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.720 It was about twenty six years old and it had 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.840 some health problems. Her white horse named Gust died and 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.320 then they cleared it out. They left the stall empty 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.120 and then moved into the stall a week two weeks later, 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.040 was a white peacock. It really was a pea hen, 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:56.040 a white pea hen, female peacock, And we just moved 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.680 in on its own. Yeah, there's no one knows where 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.000 it came from. They've never seen it before. They've never 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.879 seen any pea hens in the area. All of a sudden, 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:09.960 it was just living in this stall. Why no joke, 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.359 a white peacock. It couldn't stay in that in the 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.560 stables because it was flapping around and spooking the horses. 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.080 So and we learned by the way that peacocks are 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.600 the largest flying birds. I always thought like a condor 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.520 was bigger, but I guess the peacock's heavier than a condor. 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.960 So she trained it to go get bird feed in 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.480 a a big pen and then close the pen. And 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.880 we brought it and brought this peacock, Alma, which means 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.960 soul in Spanish, Alma to our house. So now we 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.479 have in fact, I'm looking at Alma right now right 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.800 outside my window. She likes to sit in this olive 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.919 tree and groom herself and looking at me in the window. 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:56.119 That is, and it won't it doesn't fly away. It 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.720 likes its home. It's like because we feed it. We 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.840 give it some bird seed, berries and stuff like that. 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:07.040 So so you have horses, you also have my favorite 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.800 of your animals. And what I didn't know that it 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:16.400 existed before a zonkey. We have a zonki. Yeah, yes, 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.960 we have a zebra donkey hybrid named Derek. But now 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:23.399 do you have the zonkey because you like the word zonkey, 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.040 because that's why I would have it. I do love 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:30.359 the word zonki. But this is my wife again. I 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:32.520 think this is what happens when you marry a minor 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.000 television celebrity and you have too much time on your hands. 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:39.400 She saw a zonkey and she was like, oh my god, 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.840 it's so beautiful. It has zebra stripes but looks like 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:45.680 a donkey. And then she googled zonkies and the first 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:49.720 thing that came up was Zebra zarros dot com. She 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.720 went to Zebra Zars dot com, which used to be 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:56.280 located in Riverside, California. She called them, She's like, do 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.880 you sell zonkies and they said, well, as a matter 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.240 of fact, we just had a new zonkey that was 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:05.639 born yesterday named it didn't have a name, and for 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:10.000 thirty when he's six weeks old and can be weaned 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.720 from his mother. We will have him delivered to your house. 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.320 And we had a horse corral behind our house and 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:20.879 my wife was like, okay, here's my credit card number. 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:26.800 It was six weeks later there was a zonkey at 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:31.160 our house. And this is why people hate the elites 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:36.720 of Hollywood. You have you have a white, semi albino 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:43.400 peacock y zonkey. We also have a donkey named Chili Beans. 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:49.040 And by the way, chili Beans is adorable. And donkeys 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:51.720 are the best animals in the world. I love donkeys. 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:56.280 They're just sweet, they're cuddly, they're loyal, they're just wonderful. 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.679 Highly recommend And then in our backyard we have two pigs, 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:04.920 Snortington and Amy. Yeah. And then we have two pit 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:12.280 bulls rescues, Poe and Diamond. Right, so you're so your dogs, 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:17.200 you rescue, you're you're more exotic and rescue to Chili Beans. 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:24.040 A rescue. Derek is not arrescued. Derek is a genetic monstrosity. Zy, Yes, 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:30.639 because they put the spermatozoa of the go ahead, go 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.359 ahead problem with spermatozoa, you can't say that on your show, 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.720 No go ahead, you can say spermatozoa. Spermatozoa potato, potato, 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:41.680 go ahead, you put in, you put the spermatozoa into 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:46.720 to fertilize the female donkey, the zebra spermatozoa into the 0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:55.000 into the vagina right of the donkey. Okay, thereby creating 0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:59.320 Derek the zonky. Okay. So now this is a perfect 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:03.479 transition because for those of you listening, are we going 0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:08.159 to talk about the Office? For christ say hereination on 0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:09.879 the set of The Office, this is this is what 0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:12.520 I'm going out now. I've talked to several people about this, 0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:18.359 right and about certain actors personalities, and for me, and 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:23.440 I think for most, you are a crazy dichotomy, right, 0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:26.680 because you are spiritual, which I want to talk about 0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:31.719 in a minute, incredibly spiritual, thoughtful, lover of people and 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:37.120 the world. And you are the crudest, most inappropriate. Because now, 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:38.840 if we were on the set of the I don't 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:41.560 I mean you talk about people talk about you couldn't 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:43.800 do the Office today. You couldn't do the Office today. 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:46.000 The reason you couldn't do the Office today is because 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:49.560 you on set and the description and I was baiting 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.520 you a little, the description that you would have given 0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:57.400 publicly to everyone on set, cast and crew about how 0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:01.480 exactly the Zoonki was created would have been way more 0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:04.680 triple x rated than what you just did. And you 0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:07.720 happened to you you were trying to use scientific terms, 0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:12.960 but yes, go ahead, go ahead now this And this 0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:16.200 is interesting because I wouldn't say that I'm necessarily a 0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:19.440 spiritual person. I I aspire to be a spiritual person, 0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:24.560 which is a person who's thoughtful and of service and 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:30.040 connected to you know, the reality of God and the 0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:34.240 beauty and harmony of the universe. And I seek to 0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:38.720 kind of let that joy seep through what I who 0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:42.240 I am as a human being. But at the same time, yes, 0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:47.879 I am an inappropriate, raunchy, little thirteen year old at heart, 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.679 and that's just part of who I am. So and 0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:55.600 I also play these weird characters on television comedy, so 0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:58.200 people it's kind of weird when people see me talking 0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:01.760 about the high faith or you know, spiritual concepts or 0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:04.320 conversations and they're like, wait, this is the guy who 0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:07.520 played Dwighten was always taking his shirt off and was 0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:12.280 telling fart jokes on the side of the office jokes. Ye, 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:18.040 So there's some dichotomy there, but it's all it's all 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:22.520 in good fun, and it's all to uplift the spirits. Brian, 0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:24.480 it's all to uplift the spirit. I want to go 0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:26.960 into this with you a little bit because people ask 0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:31.000
