But 120 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: there are a few things my research team did or 121 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: I actually did not fully know. 122 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: They found some nooks and crannies. 123 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: Well I don't even know how Nooki and cranny it is, 124 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: you're gonna get nookied. 125 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: No, there were a couple of things I didn't know. 126 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: I mean, first off, you grew up in Jakarta. 127 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: I did. 128 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: That's a city in Indonesia. I've heard you speak Indonesian 129 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 3: many times. Bahasa bahassa, Bahasa. Okay, yeah, you speak Bahasa. 130 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: Have you heard this phrase third culture kid? 131 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: Yes? I have. 132 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: So, I mean for those of you who haven't, I'm 133 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: glad you have because I hadn't. Actually what this refers 134 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: to our people that they have this third culture right 135 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: There's so you have your sort of home culture you're 136 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: moved overseas, then you have the culture that you're living 137 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: in there, and those two together kind of make this 138 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: third culture. Does that resonate for you? Do you feel 139 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: like that's how you grew up? 140 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 4: Oh? 141 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: For sure, for sure. You know, we had this young 142 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: gal right in to office Ladies my podcast who was 143 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: also a third culture kid, and you do you you know, 144 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: you're sort of fish out of water everywhere, so you're 145 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: not quite part of the culture where you grew up. 146 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: And then when you go back to what would be 147 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: your home culture, you're don't you don't quite fit in 148 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: there either, And I think it's why a lot of 149 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: kids that went to international schools wherever they are, they're 150 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: all over right. They really bond with each other and 151 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: they stay in touch. My school, Jakarta International School, is 152 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: having their reunion at the end of this month. They 153 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: picked different cities and it's going to be in Los 154 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: Angeles this year.

You come back, you don't know, 342 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 3: not just Sesame Street or mister Rogers, but you know 343 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 3: shows by the time you're fourteen that your parents are 344 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,239 Speaker 3: watching The Cosby Show or you know, I don't I 345 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 3: can't date you specifically at that moment. My brain's not 346 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 3: that good, but I feel like that's what I was watching, 347 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 3: you know, early on in the eighties. Maybe I'm wrong, 348 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 3: but you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, was that 349 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 3: difficult for you to sort of make that adjustment? And 350 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 3: there must have been times when you just didn't know 351 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 3: what the hell anybody was talking. 352 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: About all the time. Yeah, all the time. I didn't 353 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: know what people were talking about. 354 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 3: I didn't know the first Bueller's day off. That would 355 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 3: be one that would have been for me. 356 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: Oh I saw it. 357 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: I saw that. 358 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 1: I saw that. I thought it was so good. I 359 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: was so excited. I like kind of went on a binge, 360 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: like I would just like watch everything. But I mean 361 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know what a soap opera was, and there 362 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: were girls talking about soap operas and talking about, oh, Marlena, 363 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: days of our lives there, and I'm like, who's Marlena? 364 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: What's happening?

Still 368 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: every once in a while, well because there's big chapters. 369 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: I had never seen a Brady Bunch episode, never seen one, 370 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: you know. And then also when I started doing improv, 371 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: sometimes I would walk out into a scene and a 372 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: pop cultural reference would come up and I would have 373 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: no idea. Someone said to me, someone said something about 374 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: the green hornet one time, and I was like, I'll 375 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: have another, please like shaken nutstood, thank you very much, 376 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: And everyone was like record scratch and they're like, who 377 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: is this person? 378 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 2: That's when you just start talking Indonesian.

I uh, well, Brian, here here's how it went. 527 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: I graduated from Baylor. I got a job. I was 528 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: offered a job at a publishing house, a little small 529 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: independent publishing company there in Waco. And my dad was like, fantastic, 530 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: and I was like, no, no, no, no, this is 531 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: not I want to perform. And they're like, you want 532 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: to what But of course they knew that. But that 533 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: is not the degree I got. I didn't get a 534 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: degree in drama and theater. So I sort of had 535 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: always had this plan that I would go. I wanted 536 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: to go to New York and I wanted to work 537 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: on a late night talk show. I was obsessed with 538 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: David Letterman. I used to record David Letterman ready for this, 539 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: this is going to date me. I would watch David 540 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: Letterman and I would get remember the tape recorders that 541 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: were like long and flat, like a rectangle, and you 542 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: would hit eject and put the tape line. I would 543 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: hold that up and I would record his opening monologue 544 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: in front of the TV. In front of the TV, 545 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: and I would learn. I would like like practice his 546 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: opening monologue and like study the beats of how he 547 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: would tell it. I was obsessed, and so I graduate 548 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: from Baylor. I don't take the job. I moved back 549 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: in with my parents. O MG.

And he ended up asking 915 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 1: us questions and I was like, wait, Jen, I think 916 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 1: you just interviewed us.

But 917 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: like you said, I was like, gosh, just to have 918 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, an hour and a half with Steve Correll 919 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: or you know.

Are you going to be sad though? 925 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,240 Speaker 3: When the rewatch is done? 926 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 1: I will be. 927 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 2: I will be. 928 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 1: I've really loved rewatching the show. I hadn't seen the 929 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 1: show all the way through since it aired. There are 930 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 1: many episodes that we're watching, really and truly I haven't 931 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: seen since that first week when it was on Remember 932 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 1: Appointment television on Thursday nights on NBC. So I am 933 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 1: going to be sad. But I told Jenna, I was like, 934 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 1: maybe we'll just rewatch the whole thing again. That is 935 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: not our spin off podcast, but that's. 936 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:03,399 Speaker 2: The way to keep it going. 937 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 1: But I actually actually instead of like like toll Girl too, 938 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 1: it's like office ladies, still watching, Watch still watching. But 939 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 1: I told her, I'm serious. I think now that the podcast, 940 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: like we've rewatched it all, I kind of want to 941 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 1: just go back and rewatch it now for me, you 942 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,240 Speaker 1: know what I mean?

And 944 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 3: now obviously you know for scheduling and all of that, 945 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 3: you I'm sure there are times where you're maybe recording 946 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,359 Speaker 3: more than one in a week or you know you're 947 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,399 Speaker 3: you're ahead of obviously when it airs spoiler alert. That's 948 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 3: how it works. Yes, what's your process like? Are you 949 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 3: watching it weekly? Typically? Like one episode? 950 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,719 Speaker 1: Okay, here's here's my work week ready, okay, okay, So 951 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:56,879 Speaker 1: we record on Thursdays, right, and then my work week. 952 00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: Then it sort of starts again after Theday. So Thursday's 953 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: like my Friday, guys, and then on Friday, what I 954 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: do is I watch the next week's episode. 955 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 2: Okay, that's what I'm asking. 956 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,439 Speaker 1: Okay, So I watch it first time on Friday. Then 957 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday, I watch all the bloopers any like bonus scenes, 958 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: and I also have the shooting drafts, so then I 959 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 1: will on Monday, I read the shooting draft and I 960 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 1: look to see, like what stayed in what didn't. I'll 961 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,279 Speaker 1: look to see what kind of they call them the 962 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: candy bag alts. We talk about this on Office Ladies. 963 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,919 Speaker 1: Those were all the like extra stuff we might read 964 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,399 Speaker 1: for a talking head, the monologues we would do. Then 965 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,279 Speaker 1: Jenna and I decide who do we want to reach 966 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 1: out to. Okay, Brian directed it. I'm going to reach 967 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 1: out to Brian because I have a few questions about 968 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 1: this one scene, and then maybe she reaches out to 969 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,320 Speaker 1: a cast member. Then we look to see any articles 970 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 1: written about the show at the time. I look through 971 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,320 Speaker 1: all my old emails to see if we were trading 972 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 1: emails about something at the time. I look through old photos. 973 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: We just we really dig deep into it and try 974 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 1: to find all the layers about that episode. And then 975 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 1: on Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll watch it again all the 976 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 1: way through, because now I have all this information, so 977 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 1: I'll watch it again to see if I missed anything, 978 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 1: if there's any background catch, if there was a fan question, 979 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: and then we record on Thursday. So typically I watch 980 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: an episode of The Office three times, the same episode. 981 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,320 Speaker 2: So you watch it how it aired. I watch it 982 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 2: how it. 983 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 1: Aired with no information. I just watch it just to 984 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 1: watch it, watch it, and then I watch it after 985 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,280 Speaker 1: looking at the shooting draft. Yeah, our bloopers are deleted 986 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:35,439 Speaker 1: scenes things like that. 987 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great, I mean that's that's that's going to 988 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 3: be a lot that you're going to miss.
