And then to bake 168 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: matters worse for the negative actor had Rain pops his 169 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: head into the waiting room and he and Chip are buddies, 170 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: and he says, hey, good you're here. Great. Look I 171 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: also told them you should read for this other part. 172 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: Luckily because he's gonna do I don't know, a bunch 173 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: of episodes, just an existent one off. So then Rain 174 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: says this in front of you. Well he pulled him aside. 175 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: I just happened to be sitting close and I don't 176 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: think everybody else started. I just like it wasn't like 177 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: he broadcasting across the room. But uh like okay. So 178 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: then I go in and it's Allison and Michael Shure 179 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: and old Mikey can tremendous and I do the scene, 180 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: do the second scene, feel good about it? And Michael's like, 181 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: now wait, now you're you're like a financial guy, right, 182 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: you're that's what you're doing, like, yeah, you know a Meryl, Yeah, 183 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: that's what I'm and I'm a Marylynch guy. And he's 184 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: like okay, okay, good. And then the next day Alison 185 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: calls me and says, all right, they're gonna hire you Buckley. 186 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna give you a glasses, maybe gray your hair 187 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: a little bit. And that was it, and it was 188 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: like it was awesome. Wow. Yeah. And at that point, 189 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: did you you thought it was just one episode? I 190 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: thought it was one episode. I mean, it was so 191 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: fun and Greg directed that episode and um, and it 192 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 1: was so great that it was. I just loved it. 193 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean I remember the first scene that we did 194 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: was the conference room scene and I would do it 195 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: and then he would come up and he would say okay, 196 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: and he would just like whisper in your ok try 197 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, try it whatever the suggestion was. And it 198 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: was awesome and that'll be fun. Maybe I'll get to you, like, 199 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, one a year or something like that. And 200 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: then I really started to think, oh man, I may 201 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: be on this a fair amount. After we hired Ryan 202 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: to work in corporate. So to answer your question, I 203 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: was a stockbroker. Well, it's it's interesting to me because 204 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: it's the same thing with Phillis, Like Phillis was a 205 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: casting associate, right, who just read naturally with the people 206 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: who were involved and and yeah, so it's interesting that 207 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: Mike asked you those questions. Yeah, yeah, And it was 208 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: funny because the guy who ran my office at the time, 209 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: it was just a lovely guy. Like he wasn't some 210 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: corporate you know, asshole that you sort of the cliche 211 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: of what a corporate guy. He was just like a 212 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: great guy. Um, Dick Valentine if you're listening for still Buddies. 213 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: But it was like, and Dick's a good guys didn't 214 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: have to be like some you know jerk. You're a 215 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: good guy. Why not. So in that first episode it 216 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: was just Stephen Milaura, right, well that was the second scene. 217 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: The first scene it was Steve Malaura and then Chip 218 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: was in that Josh Porter and the guy that was like, well, 219 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: maybe I should have just slept with jan too. I'd 220 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: be funny, right right, right, right. But but in terms 221 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: of that, you know, the original sort of corecast with 222 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: Stephen Stephen Laura. I mean, at this point it was 223 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: occurring to me when I was looking at a meeting 224 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: with you today. By the time you came on the show, 225 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: Steve was a movie star. Yeah, like you know when 226 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: we started, he wasn't. Had you seen fourty year old virgin? Yeah? Yeah, 227 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: I'd seen that. I've seen the show and like, oh 228 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: my crap, you know, and uh and I mean, yeah, 229 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: he couldn't have been more every and everyone couldn't have 230 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: been more welcoming. And he's such a pro and he's 231 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: just always coming up with funny or different ways to 232 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: do it, and which is really I guess that's a 233 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: Second City thing. I've maybe it's a Steve thing too, 234 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: but it's a something they try to do in Second City. 235 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: You'd never do the same thing in a row or 236 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: you know, twice, right, right right? I mean you certainly 237 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: had scenes with other people, but so much of your 238 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: interaction was with Michael Scott, and you guys played so 239 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: well together. How was it for you playing with him? 240 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's spectacular. I would of course constantly laugh. 241 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he would just make me laugh. If we 242 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: did eight takes, four of them, I would have burst 243 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: out laughing. Oh it was hard for It was hard 244 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: for anybody, for sure. Did you when you come on, 245 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: say for the first time, when you entered the bullpen 246 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: at under Melflin for the first time, or with working 247 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: with Steve or whatever, did that make you nervous? Of course? Yeah, 248 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: the first day I was nervous as as heck. Um, 249 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: And then that thing you sort of settled back into Okay, 250 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: what am I doing in this scene? Why am I 251 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: hear all that stuff? And you know, and Steve, you 252 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: walk on, I couldn't, you know, walks right over. Hey 253 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: you doing, I'm Steve, you know, glad you're here, blah 254 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: blah blah. You know, just couldn't be more gracious. And 255 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: Greg was like that as well, you know everybody um, 256 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: And well it's funny because, like as you said, the 257 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: first I don't know the first number of years, it 258 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: was always me and Steve mostly, but it was always corporate, 259 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: so I was never in the bullpen. It was always 260 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: he would come. It was season five or so. I 261 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: don't know when I started going to Scranton, but the 262 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: first few times like, oh wow, like I'm never here. 263 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: This is wild. And I mean I didn't really know anybody. 264 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: Didn't you know, I didn't know you. I didn't know 265 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: kid or you know Angela. Any of the people were 266 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: really and you were all very mean, No, especially No, 267 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: And so I was like, oh, wow, this is wild. Yeah, 268 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: like I'm never here, this is only smokes. The one 269 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: thing I think that really I feel like this made 270 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: a significant difference in them perhaps using me more was 271 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: the convention in Scranton. I said, A got myself invited 272 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: to that. So we had we had finished season three, 273 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: you know, we hired Ryan. He started thinking me, I 274 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: wonder if there's a way I can sort of figure 275 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: out how to grade some business Merrill Lynch wise with this. 276 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: So I just look up is there a Merrill Lynch 277 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: office in Scranton? And lo and behold, there there is. 278 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: I called the office and there's a fellow who was 279 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: there at the time, and he said, hey, we're they're 280 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: having a convention, you know, in about a month, and 281 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: are you coming to that? I like, oh't no. I 282 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: know the guy putting on the convention, Tim Holmes, And 283 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: he said, let me call him. So like he set 284 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: it up for me to meet Tim, and Tim said, hey, 285 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: come on, we'll bring in And so it was great 286 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: to get to be a part of that because I 287 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: didn't know anybody. I didn't know, the writers, I didn't know, 288 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: so for three days, like I get to be around 289 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: and I'm there and I'm talking to people, and I 290 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: feel like that made a I don't know, I feel 291 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: like it made a difference because then the writer's got 292 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: a sense of like, uh, he's all right, he's okay, Yeah, 293 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: he'll he'll do let's bring him back. That's fascinating. How 294 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: was it for you, just on a personal level, having 295 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: two jobs for such a long period of time, I mean, 296 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: was that about security for you? Or yeah? Yeah, and hey, 297 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: I mean I really enjoyed my time at Maryland, like 298 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: and uh, and I got partners when I started getting busy, 299 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: because when I started getting on the show a lot 300 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 1: that didn't necessarily take a ton of time. I mean 301 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: that most ever did, I think was twelve episodes. But 302 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: it was because of that that I was getting opportunities 303 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: to audition for a ton of stuff, for get to 304 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: be in some movies and things like that. Or I 305 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: had then had gotten on this other show when his 306 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: team Dramas. It was really great fun show, look called 307 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: The Lying Game like a pretty little liarsty think, so 308 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: then it was a little crys like, all right, I'll 309 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: probably leave in a year or two, but let's just 310 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: keep me on the books. And and then then I 311 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: eventually left at the end of two twelve. I guess, 312 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: through throughout your time on the going back a little bit, 313 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: how aware were you from episode to episode or season 314 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: two season how much you're going to be involved? Not 315 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: at all? Well, that was the crazy thing on season five. 316 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of funny in hindsight because I 317 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: would just get a call from Alison Jones. Hey, they're 318 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: gonna use you next week. They'll EMAILI a script. Oh great, 319 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: I didn't have an agent. I had not, like, I 320 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: didn't have anything. That's awesome. And then after a little 321 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: while Alison was great. She's like, I'm gonna get you 322 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: some more money that you should be getting paid a 323 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: little more. And she did that, and then you know, 324 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: I ended up in a ton of the episodes that year. 325 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: I was like, man, if I, like what I had 326 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: an agent, like I might have been able to make 327 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: like a lot more money, and like, what could have 328 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: been a regular man? What was I thinking? But I, like, 329 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: I would have that thought fleetingly and like, hey, man, 330 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: are you kidding? So I didn't really dwell too much 331 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: in that but no, I wouldn't really know. And then 332 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: at the end of season five is when Randy Cordray said, Hey, 333 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, we gotta get you some sort 334 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: of a deal next year. And I said, oh, great, 335 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: all right, And then that was the got rid of me, like, crap, 336 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: we'll give you eight or ten shows and at the 337 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: end you'll be gone. And you thought you were gone 338 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: for good. I was gone for good. And if we're 339 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: doing the table read and I'm reading it and huh, 340 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: and I said to Paul Am I gone. He's like, yeah, 341 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: you know, we'll figure out a way to bring you 342 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: back at some point. But then, you know, it's so 343 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: funny when they did ultimately bring me back. Like a 344 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: year and a half later, I met a local Scranton fundraiser. 345 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: I just happened to bump into edit the bark Buckley. 346 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: You're back. Let's go with it. Let's go with it. Okay, 347 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: that's amazing. So I want you to I want you 348 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: to teach me a little bit. In late two eight 349 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: early two thousand nine, the housing bubble burst and we 350 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: went into a recession. So first off, I want you 351 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: to educate me what was the financial crisis that happened? 352 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess there were all kinds of things, 353 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: but what the big thing was the lending on questionable credit. 354 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: So what what you had was all this lending going on. 355 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: You know, you had had whether they're actually were at 356 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: the banks or actual individual more mortgage brokers. They all 357 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: these banks lowered the credit standards that were necessary, that 358 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: had been necessary to get alone. So all kinds of 359 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: people were getting houses or condos or and then buying 360 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: second houses and third houses and all kinds of stuff. 361 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: You had people who you know, generally would be lucky 362 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: to own one house with basic credit standards, who suddenly 363 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: owned like, you know, four or five houses, and and 364 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: then it just reaches a crescendo or like wait a second, 365 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: this guy can't pay a mortgage on five houses, he 366 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: can barely pay one. And so then the bank to 367 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: start losing all kinds of money. I mean, it was crazy. 368 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: There was There was a the weekend that Lehman Brothers 369 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: went out of business, like Mary Lynch almost when I like, 370 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: it was two or three different ones that were possibly 371 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: going to go out of business, and Lehman Brothers was 372 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: the one when all of this was happening. That was 373 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: my busiest year on the show. Like there was one 374 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: day the day um the stock market by three hours 375 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: in was down over seven hundred points, And back then 376 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: it would be like if the market was down fifteen 377 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: hundred points that you know by two hours in. And 378 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: that was the day that I think it was the 379 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: Michael Scott negotiation, buying back to Michael Scott Paper Company. 380 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: It was a big scene. And it's like Steve and 381 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: and I have to like keep ducking out, like whenever 382 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: they'd say, Okay, we're gonna you know, let's take let's 383 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: take five. You know, I'd like duck out and Dr Wilson, 384 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: Andy Buckley, We're gonna be fine. It's a temporary thing. 385 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: I have to be out of the office today, John 386 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: and and Danner and there. You know. Meanwhile, I say, 387 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, I got a huge scene. This is no 388 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: fun like I wanted. I want to you cannot believe 389 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: what I'm getting to do today. Of course, couldn't say that. 390 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: Do you feel like the office spoke to or how 391 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: do you think that that crisis affected storylines, either you're 392 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: specifically or others. Well, it's yeah, like the shareholders, like 393 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: we went bankrupt, and that's sort of coincided with what 394 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: was going on in the world at the time. So, 395 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the writers were paying attention to 396 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: their own brokerage accounts, you know, which we're going down, 397 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: or paying attention to the news. Oh that was the 398 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: funny thing. Uh. There were some of the folks that, uh, 399 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: not my partners or whatever, but like just some of 400 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: the other folks at Mary Lynch at the time. They're like, well, 401 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: are you talking to them about their accounts? Like, no, 402 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: freaking way, I'm not mentioning. I want them to keep 403 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: writing from me, like I want to keep acting. I 404 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: don't want I don't want like someone's accounting, and I 405 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: certainly don't want them thinking I'm like sniffing around who 406 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: handles your money? You know? Once you come talk to 407 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: my partners, you know, that's so great. Yeah, So they're like, hey, 408 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: can you go get us Steve Carrell's wealth account, Greg Daniels, 409 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 1: And You're like, no, I don't want to work with 410 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: you guys anymore. I want to do that. I want 411 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: to do Yeah. Oh that's so interesting, And would you 412 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: be honest about that with them? Would you yeah, yeah, yeah, 413 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: you know, like the ones that I knew, Like, no, 414 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm not doing like, there's no freaking way I'm doing. 415 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: I just want them to see me as like the CFO, 416 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: and let's keep him around. Let's keep him around. Um, 417 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: how do you feel like David? What was his journey 418 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 1: through the show? Um? Hey, man, I don't know, well, 419 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: but I mean he actually he actually goes through quite 420 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, I mean he's it's I always joke, Um, 421 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: like he must have been a terrible CFO because like 422 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: the company went bankruft, we had to sell and uh, 423 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, getting involved in local branch things like why 424 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: are you know the Scranton branch? What's going on? And 425 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: they show up? Of course the companies gonna run out 426 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: of business if the CFO is doing that. Um, it's 427 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: so funny the way that the writers just get like 428 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: the whole sucket thing. I think Jen wrote that episode 429 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: and Krasinski directed that. It's funny. I remember at the time. 430 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: Thing boy, he's like he's a pretty good director. Cut 431 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: a Quiet Place, which was terrible. By the way, what 432 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: is that? I don't that is that a play he 433 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: was in? What? No, I'm kidding something good's gonna happen 434 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: for him. He'll have He's a good kids like, but 435 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: when they brought him back, it was, you know, I 436 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: don't know, he's ups and downs we have in life. 437 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: The He's just some creepy guy hanging out in the 438 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: tub for a while and then he gets lucky with 439 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: the suck it. Like I say about Steve in the deposition, 440 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: he's a good guy. I think Wallas was a good guy. 441 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: I but you know, he probably believed in people. You know, 442 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: whatever it was he did, he took his eye off 443 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: the ball too much. I guess, like like I guess 444 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: many people. I mean, it happened to many people during 445 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: that time, so you know, maybe he was halfway decent, 446 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: but he wasn't great at it, right. It happened to 447 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people, oh meaning like like just in 448 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 1: the world. You know a lot of people that are 449 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: probably smart, capable of people didn't see the financial bubble 450 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: happening as it did. So we'll put Wallace in that pool. 451 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: It is interesting to me though, that you know that 452 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: I think a typical show would serve to demonize the CFO. 453 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: You know that, you know, the top top executives in 454 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: a way and both you know, through the writing and 455 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: your portrayal. He was like a good human being that like, 456 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, everybody loves Jim, right that, like Jim wanted 457 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: to hang out with him, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 458 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: no that And I think that was the thing he 459 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: was just he was a pretty regular guy who you know, 460 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: he's married, got his kids, I mean all that stuff. Yeah, 461 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: and he's not a cliche, you know, caricature of the 462 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: corporate guy that you see on some I mean he's 463 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: just a a normal guy that works hard and does 464 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, reasonably well. And then you know, like many 465 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: people lost and lost the company. But yeah, and and 466 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: Michael Scott like his like in the in the one 467 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: I forget what the episode is called. I think it's 468 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: in the duel. He uh, like, Michael, you're you know, 469 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: all the other branches are failing, but your branch is 470 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: doing well. You know, what are you doing? Right? Like 471 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: his branch always like succeeded even though he was bumbling 472 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: and all that. But well, hey, he keeps winning. You 473 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 1: know Mark fid Rich, you know, to reference someone, we know, 474 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, the guy was a crazy picture, but he 475 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: kept winning. Look him up. You kids the bird. But 476 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: I think it goes to also your character that you 477 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: go to him and say, how are you succeeding? Yeah, 478 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: how are you doing this? So maybe he was good 479 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: at his job or he's best linger. I don't know. 480 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: Something I did hire Ryan though that you know, that 481 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: was a bad move. That was bad. That was a 482 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: bad move. What do you remember about finding out that 483 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: the show was going to be concluding? Do you remember? Yeah? 484 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: And um, I mean it was unfortunate obviously, but I 485 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: think it was great the way that ended, and they 486 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: had the year and created all the storylines and it 487 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: was interesting. So at the time I was on this 488 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: line game and I'm a regular on the show, and 489 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: luckily in the contract that you know that when you 490 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: do these things and said how you can't do any 491 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: other shows, blah blah blah. But we had put in 492 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 1: there like Jeff Frankel, my lawyer, and put in there 493 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, if the office calls, he can do up 494 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: to X amount of episodes, which is great because they 495 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: greg wanted me for like thirteen or fourteen shows, and 496 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: technically that it was only you know, six or seven 497 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,239 Speaker 1: or eight or something like that, and so I ended 498 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: up having to do the other four just like on 499 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: the phone. But I mean, it was fantastic to get 500 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: to be a fairly big part of the last season 501 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: at least, you know, to be around a lot, which 502 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: was fun because it because it was I mean, I 503 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: was kind of like an outsider. So like you guys 504 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: were there constantly all the time. You're there all and 505 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: I just kind of pop in and hey, and you know, 506 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: everybody's nice and friendly. But it's like I'm the I 507 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: don't know what, I'm like, the distant cousin sort of 508 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: thing who shows up every once in a while. I 509 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: don't know if you were really the distant cousin. I mean, 510 00:28:54,640 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: by the rap party, you are no distant. Think you 511 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: know you weren't a distant cousin anymore. It was so fun. 512 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, I feel like you had a 513 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: special connection to Scranton. Yeah, I I loved it. I 514 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: mean Tim and Michelle and those are my two great buddies, 515 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: and I know with you as well, and you may 516 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: have others. Yeah, I love it. I mean it's funny. 517 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: I remember the first time I went there, I was, man, 518 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: I love this town. This is like, this is a 519 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: pretty great town. I mean I've I've been back there 520 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: maybe a dozen times. Right, I went back recently and 521 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: walked around that old ballpark. Yeah, I mean, my god, 522 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: how great. That was so fun. That was a blast 523 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: to get to do that. I mean, it's certainly a 524 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: fun place to walk around. You walk around and people 525 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: said to do a double take, and then, well was 526 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: because it's more than half the town probably knows this, 527 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, knows the show perfectly. How do you interact 528 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: with fans? Now? I love it shown them. Yeah, I'm 529 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: on an HBO show.

I was thinking about this during season five 540 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: or six, and I was in New York and getting 541 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: to do the other guys like, which was the coolest thing, 542 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: because yeah, well Ferrell and Wallburg and and I meet Will. 543 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: He knows everything about the show. He's like, hey, what's 544 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: going on with the show? And he had seen the 545 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: episode the night before. And I mean, there's like one 546 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,959 Speaker 1: of my comedy heroes and holy crappy like those who 547 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: I am, Oh my god. But so I I would 548 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: have these stress balls, and I would. I would. I 549 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 1: would walk around New York City and I would have 550 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: these and if somebody sort of you know, said something 551 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: or something like that, like I would have awesome at 552 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: dunder Mifflin's dress Ball just because I thought it was funny. 553 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: And then and then one night, a like a great 554 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: friend of mine she called and she said, Bucky, you 555 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: like walking around New York tossing out dunder Mifflin's dress 556 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: ball is my friend? You know. Tommy called me and said, 557 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: I think I think it was your buddy. But I mean, 558 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: I have a ton of fun with it. Why, you know, 559 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: why not? Because it's like, I'm not Steve, and I 560 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: think about you, I'm like, you must constantly just be 561 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: bombarded like I'm not once a day, twice a day, 562 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: and it's generally in like a line at a coffee 563 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: place or whatever. Yeah, hey, thanks man, you know whatever. 564 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: When it first started, I mean, frankly, I would purposely 565 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: wear my David Wallace glasses. You know that someone would 566 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: say something, this is like the first year or two 567 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: write like, which is so crazy. I remember one time 568 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: in New York doing the other guys during Halloween, and 569 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: I literally went out as as Wallace during Halloween and 570 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: walked all around. But it was funny, like nobody, nobody 571 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: I saw. I saw a couple of Dwhite shoots and 572 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: no one, you know, made the connection. But yeah, so 573 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:18,719 Speaker 1: I would purposely walk around wearing the glasses. It's interesting 574 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: though for me that it began in a way in Scranton. 575 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: For you, Yes, I mean it was suddenly I'm the 576 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: convention at the convention and you know, there's like ten 577 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: thousand people there and they hey, it's Wallace, and uh, 578 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: I'm just so happy to be there. I'll I'm the 579 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: last guy, like you know, with you, the last guy 580 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: to leave the bar, and you're serving drinks and having 581 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: fun and talking to people and photos and everything else. 582 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: I mean, because I'm a fan of all that's like 583 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: what I like when I met Alec Baldwin during that time, 584 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: and I was a dirty rock fan. I was so excited, 585 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: you know there you know, Jack, you know what I mean. 586 00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: Or if you meet whomever, you know, if you meet 587 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: a movie star you have been a fan of, and 588 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's it's it's fun, you know, or a 589 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: ball player or something like that. Um, my favorite, my 590 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: favorite story is, uh, so, my wife is an acting 591 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: coach and she coaches off our garage and some people 592 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: come to the front door. Normally they just like walk 593 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: down the the driveway and so uh we we we 594 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: were were at home and I'm looking all scruffy, like 595 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: the suck at David Wallace, and the doorbell rings and 596 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: I know that she's she's this woman is coming. My 597 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: answered the door and it's Courtney Love and she looked great, 598 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: like she's in the suit, like she looks super put together, 599 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: and and I said, hey, um, Nancy's coming down. She'll 600 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: be back here, come on back and then wait in 601 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: the back or whatever. And then Nancy comes down and 602 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: they walk back to the studio and I guess the 603 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: first thing that that Courtney says to my wife is like, 604 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: why why is the guy from the office in your house? 605 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: What is why is he? Which is just like you 606 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily picture her as as you know, but I 607 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: guess her in their their daughters love the show, like 608 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: the people who are huge fans, like what Obama was 609 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: watching it on the way to the inauguration, Like how 610 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: crazy is that? It's pretty cool? Yeah, what are you 611 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: most thankful for about doing the show? I mean, oh 612 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: my god, I gave like I got to have an 613 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: acting career, you know, I mean seriously, the fact that 614 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: Alison found that card that like given her that said 615 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: Mary Lynch Buckley, you know, and it was at the 616 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: bottom of a file drawer. She's just like, I took 617 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: me an hour to find this card Buckley. I can't 618 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: believe it. And um, and it's crazy because of the show. 619 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: I'm in Jurassic World. Colin is a huge office fan. 620 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 1: That's the only reason a minute, Like regular folks, guys 621 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: who are making shows are man's and like, hey, let's 622 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: get you know this guy right? Well, you know. One 623 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: of the reasons that we're having this just quession with 624 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: people is the show was the number one scripted show 625 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: on NBC for a number of years. But you know, 626 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: to a lot of us, the show is way bigger. 627 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's huge. It's like the numb number 628 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: of that and Friends of the two biggest shows in 629 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: the world. I mean in London it's certainly not what 630 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: it is here. But I mean a couple of times 631 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: a week, you know, some people say stuff. And then 632 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: certainly when the summer rolls around and you have all 633 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: the US tourists there. But yeah, and I mean I 634 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: think you know all over the world they're they're watching it. 635 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: You can get a table at a restaurant in Sydney, Australia. 636 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: I bet just say it's Brian Bonker. Why do you 637 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: think why do you think it has endured? Well, I 638 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: think it's probably the performance of the guy that played Wallace. 639 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: Um No. I mean, it's just exceptionally funny, for one, 640 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: and you have characters and like every everybody has it. 641 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you know some guys you're their favorite character, 642 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: Rain Jim, you know Steve, and just that the heart 643 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: that Steve has and brought to it, aside from just 644 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: the crazy, great humor.

Even though he has all these potential negative, 647 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, traits, he just had this heart of gold 648 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: and I think that is also part of it, along 649 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: with the comedy and then just the sexual chemistry between 650 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: Holly Flax and Kevin Malone.
