We're never going to get 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:20.159 a good entrance to the show. No, probably not, but 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.759 that's okay. How's Quarantine life for you?

No, we've been full of just this past 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.800 week we've been crazy productive. We really have painting rooms 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:44.280 doing stuff, doing stuff. We painted them the office, we 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.760 painted the barroom. Speaking of the office, we have Kate 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:53.479 Flannery on today, who is buried in the hit sitcom 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:58.360 The Office, which is probably my top two, probably my 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.680 number one actually of all times to your second one 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:05.440 side felt that's up there. Yeah, what's number two? But 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.280 that's sitcoms. But then you have shows like you know, 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:15.760 what's number two, probably Signild, what What's on? What's Teetering on? Three? 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.600 Then Caribbean Enthusiasm, which is all this is all like 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.280 the same kind of stuff, yeah, which and then you 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.120 have you know, shows like The Wire yet Dexter, you 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.720 got Game of Thrones, you got all that kind of stuff. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:32.319 But anyways, um, I'm I'm really excited to talk to 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.200 her because I know her from Dancing with Stars. Hey, 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.600 were you guys in the same season? No, she was 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.399 just on this last season. Yeah. Um. But you know, 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.640 I've never watched an episode of the Office, so I 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.400 feel like this podcast should just be like it's the 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:52.120 Mic and Cake Show featuring Jana I. I don't know. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.960 I just I love um Steve carl I feel like 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.880 I need to see I think the problem was I 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.760 would You'd be watching it and I would just come 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.600 in and see a few seconds of it, and you'd 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.040 be like laughing, and I would look at and go, 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:14.720 that's funny. I don't understand. You gotta understand. You gotta 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.560 understand the characters, the stories. But I but I like 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.720 love Seinfeld. I feel like you can watch Seinfeld and 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.640 laugh at anything. Well, the Office is the same way 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.600 if you have seen it before. So like Comedy Central 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.520 always has the Office in rotation like constantly, so I 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.240 could turn on that at any moment. It could be 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.800 any episode. I don't know exactly what's going on, and 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.280 I'll laugh like I would like I did the first time. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.520 That's awesome. See. Maybe because I really love Kate, and 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.600 I'm excited to talk to her, especially because I heard 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.120 that she while she was filming The Office, she was 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.560 a waitress. Still, like, I love that. I just think 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.360 that's so cool. I wonder if was it a dream 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.799 or was I wanting to do a waitress job last year? 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.840 Did I dream that? Definitely didn't tell me that. See, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.079 I miss waitressing, like I would still do it right now. 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:10.960 I would for fun. I mean, if I have kids, 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.400 I probably would. I enjoy it. I love waitressing until 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.880 you didn't and then you quit. No, I love it. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.400 I would do it, I seriously, I think if I could. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.520 I just I don't know. I love being able to 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:33.640 help people and making their experience great for sure. But 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.600 maybe it's so crazy. But maybe I had a dream 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.200 about that. But I had a dream that I was 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.000 applying somewhere for waitressing shop. I swear, what kind of 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:48.080 restaurant would you waitress? It's a good question because I've 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.400 done all of them. I've done Joe's Crap Chat, I've 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:58.080 done Fridays, I've done Applebee's, I've done Greek Island. I've 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.640 done you know, I've literally done every but the only 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.600 ones I haven't done were the real highst like the 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.400 upper like the one we went to a love in Park, 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:11.080 Matt whatever, Madison Park. I don't think I would want 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.960 to do that kind of restaurant. I was just gonna say, 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.159 you know, you couldn't. I couldn't. It's too stuffy. Well 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.600 and would you like you Kevin, Like I couldn't even 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.800 take it serious? You shoot from the hip too much. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.320 Where if you went to a restaurant like that, next thing, 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.039 you know you back, don't get that because that's just 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.400 can disgusting, like that's how you'd beat I mean, I'm 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.360 just really honest, Like when people came to the wood 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.359 Ranch girl and uh what in l A when I 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.920 used to waitress there, and yes it's a one by 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.239 the grove. And funny story, I was stealing toilet paper 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.440 before COVID nineteen. Me and Diana were so poor in 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.760 our electricity went off and we were stealing paper toilet 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.760 paper from wood Ranch because we didn't I wouldn't have 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.000 enough money to buy like toilet paper. Um. But then 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.400 I booked night and then I quit, Gee what you 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:08.120 gotta do? Um? But yeah, no, anyways, but no, I 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.440 would have to be It would have to be a 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.479 chill place like that, and I wouldn't want to go 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.960 back to. I didn't like being a bar girl. I 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.479 hated that because I'm not the bar chick there, like 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.680 here's a shot and I'm like, yeah, babe, and then 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:27.479 I like throw it away. Anyways, Well, I do feel 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.000 I have a lot of empathy for those people in 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:34.120 that profession right now because of everything going on, and 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.360 that must that must really suck. And I hope, you know, 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.440 they're able to find some work somewhere and and everything. 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.120 And I hope people that have lost their jobs are 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.800 able to do something to take care of themselves. And 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.159 you know, I seldom do I read comments, or do 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.640 we read comments about this podcast or anything really that 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.080 we post, but I saw one recently when we were 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.479 talking about the quarantine sen and someone was kind of 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:07.240 going off on us about, uh, we're being insensitive or 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:13.280 something about giving people crap being out and about wait, 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.640 we were insensitive about what we were. You know, we 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:21.040 were just second being insensitive about people, you know, being 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.200 out in public, and we're like, stay at home, don't 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.920 go out. But just like anything, you have to take 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.840 it with. It's all in context. You have to take 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:30.560 it with a grain of salt. We're not saying everyone 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.320 should stay in their house and not leave at all. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.039 We understand people have to make a living, you know, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.560 we are if you're an essential worker and you have 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.599 to or you have to make a living, you have 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:45.280 to make the money. You know. We're not saying people 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.480 that everyone should stay home, and I'm not I'm not 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.479 trying to defend what we're saying. I'm just trying to 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.479 make it clear just so people put it in perspective that, yes, 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.480 we we appreciate the fact that we've been blessing. We're 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.120 in a fortunate situation where we can work from um 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.560 um and we're doing okay right now. But we totally 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.479 understand the grind of if you have to work, you 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:07.640 have to work. If you have to make money, you 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:08.800 have to make money. You gotta do what you gotta 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.920 do to provide for yourself and your family and stay safe. 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.840 So if you've got to leave the house, do it. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.880 But it's all about what we're talking about. Are there's 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.000 people that we hear about or see that are out 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.440 and goofing around or maybe they don't have to be out, 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.360 or you know, abusing the system right now because they 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.440 are naive about the situation. That's all we're saying. I 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.760 just think again, just everything's got to be taken into 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.640 the right perspective. And now I'm reading comments downloaded a 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.560 month ago and cannot get through even one episode due 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.920 to how vapid and shallow jan it was. I'm sorry. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.400 Do you think that it's like mean tweets? You know, 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.560 so toxic? Oh well, it's all, It's all good. Everyone 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.320 can have their opinions. I just I just don't want 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.960 people are actual fans listening to this if they are 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.480 in that situation. I didn't want them to be felt 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.080 like I selated from from what we're saying. I didn't 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:03.760 want them to take it the incorrect way. I don't 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.080 care the person that wrote the comment, who gives it, 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.160 but yeah, so people that care about the show and 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.240 that we care about So I'm sorry, I have to 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.680 say almost zanex quen Mike said, Janna thrives in chaos. Seriously, 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.440 Janna can't even function on a daily basis unless she's medicated. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.760 What or she freaks out, wines, cries, and flat out 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.240 has panic attacks if she thinks the wind is blowing 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.960 in the wrong direction. She thrives on zanex more like it. Um, 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:32.920 I don't take zanex. So wow, that's kind of funny 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:38.760 because it's just so ridiculous. People are crazy, I know whatever, 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.320 um it is what it is. I feel like the 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.600 ones people I do listen they are getting something out 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.079 of it. Yeah, it's either the train wreck you love 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.760 to listen to or oh that's why you look at 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.400 reviews almost for anything, and it's either five stars or 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.079 one star. Like there's very seldom are people because this 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.679 is like anything right subjective. People can have their opinion. 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.560 It's I'm sure there's some episodes where people who are 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:06.840 even a fan of the show are kind of like, 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.560 it wasn't my favorite one, but hopefully the next week 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.800 or the week before was great for them. But most 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.320 of the time, this is just like a movie. It's 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.640 just like a you know, music genre. It's just like 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.400 anything you like, what you like, and if it's in 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.959 the middle of that, people aren't gonna or if you 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.200 just listen to one episode like someone goes, you know, 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.760 Janna left at Mike for not hustling. It's like we're 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:33.640 we crack on each other, you know. But anyways, um, 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.320 I feel like at the end of the day. Hopefully 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.800 we're helping people too with some of our situations. We 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.840 we air our dirty laundry to help other people. M hm. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.680 You know, although the other day though, in therapy, it's 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:53.040 not great to have therapy sessions in quarantine. Yeah, it's 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.680 hard when you're on zoom and there's a way out. Yeah, 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.760 we're having therapy last week and I thought it was 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:03.280 a great therapy session. There was ten minutes and you know, 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.240 it was like a therapist was like, so, what are 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.080 ways that y'all can connect together? And how that got 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:14.160 us into an argument? Shocking um, But you know, within 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.240 those two minutes and Mike gets up, gets up and 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:20.280 storms out, and and the therapist is like, this is 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.720 why I hate doing these kind of sessions because now 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.040 you're just stuck in the house and what do you say, 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.920 Is he coming back? You're like nope, Yeah, He's like, 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:29.600 is he gonna come back? I was like, now he's done, 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.839 He's done, And he goes, well, how is this gonna 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.120 How is this going to resolve? I was like, well, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.760 one or two things. He's either gonna be in a 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.640 hole the rest of the day and you know, puff 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.600 his chest out and whatever or hell, apologize for being 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.280 defensive and then we'll talk it out. And it was 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.040 the ladder. I know, it was kind of cool, super cool, 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.559 but yeah, I was like, but no, he's done and 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:58.200 I'm gonna go now and gray, but I went for it. 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.760 Came back from a walk and I even said to 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.240 my girlfriends, I was like, up here it is. It's 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.000 either going to be good and rest of the day. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.000 We're a bad rest of the day. Did they text 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.840 you and ask you later? Um? Now, I mean you 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.600 were like out with the kids and playing so killing 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.320 the game, riding the scooter. But yeah, all right, well 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.079 let's take a break and we'll come back and warm 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:36.800 things up for to have Kate Flannery on. So what 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:41.080 was your favorite episode of Office before we get her on? 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:47.360 Because I just want to get some Office knowledge. You 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:54.680 can't there's not one anyone will say. When season nine, 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:00.199 when Dwight and Angela are going to get married, it's 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.520 like the one of the last episodes of the whole series, 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:11.240 is she married in it? No? No, she's a train wreck, alcoholic. 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.520 It's like two kids. I think, drives a minivan. She's 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.599 an animal. She's awesome. So Anyways, this episode at the 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.640 end is when Michael Scott comes back and at the 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.360 perfect timing he pulls out of That's what she said, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.320 with like tears in his eyes. And it's just like 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.960 that when you were crying on the plane that Yeah, 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.560 actually no, I think that was when he married Holly. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.480 I look over, I was like, are you crying? That 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.079 the best watching the office telling you man, you get invested. 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.280 Let me ask you this because I was thinking this 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.440 before the break because someone asked Kate this as well. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:53.040 But when someone's on a show, such a popular show 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.240 that has this following, that's just timeless. As you were 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.560 two on One Tree Hill and how big that still is. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.200 Do you ever get tired talking about it? Really? Because 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.560 it's the show that made you the golf forever. Be 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.480 so grateful for One Tree Hill. And I love meeting 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.839 New Tree Hill or fans. I love it. I'll talk 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:14.360 to them blue in the face about One Tree Hill. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.520 I love it. It's good to know because I feel bad, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.280 you know now being in this kind of position we 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:23.400 interview people and have those discussions. It's you and I 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.000 have both know what it's like to be on the 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.480 receiving end and get the same questions about certain things 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.840 and just have to talk about it until you're blue 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.439 in the face. But it's good. It's refreshing to know 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.680 that when it comes to something like that career wise, 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.800 that you have that appreciation and respect for that. Now 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.520 here's the the other side of it. If I was 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.800 on a show that I was actually the entire like 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.400 I was only blessed, I mean not blessed, like I 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.120 only did three seasons. So if I did nine seasons 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.760 of it, or if I did, I mean, let's say 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.400 I was. I mean, for example, are our buddy Bob Sagett, 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.280 you know Danny Tanner, I mean Heenan said he's not 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.440 sick of talking about tree, I mean a full house. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.560 But at the same time, if you're type cast and 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.240 they were all that is what it would that's where 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.280 it would get hard because it's like they only see 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:17.040 him or you know, for quite a long time as 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.000 Danny Tanner, Like that's why, um, what's his face? Uncle 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.320 Jesse wanted to do anything but Uncle Jesse, and he 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.640 started to do like these really dark dramas and murder 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.320 because he just wanted to be so out of it. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.320 But no one believed that, you know, So I think 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.920 that is the only that's but I feel like people 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.880 like Steve Carrell don't have that issue because they're already 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:40.240 so yeah, but I think even someone like Steve Carrell, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:44.080 who yes, we see now how first he is in 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.600 his ability to act, but at the beginning, it was 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.880 all comedic stuff. It was isn't like Michael Shannon too, 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.040 which were we just watching with Waco Who's wasn't he 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:03.240 comedy to not really know? Um? But you know, he 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.520 was four year old virgin and those kind of an 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.800 anchorman and all that kind of stuff. He was like 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.760 the sidekick, funny random guy, um the Office. I mean, 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.000 he took that over, but still it's mostly comedy. And 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.080 you know, but now you see him on things with 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:23.240 uh the Morning show him. No, I'm saying he before 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.640 he was just kind of this side part like co star, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.760 but he was the star of the office and like 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.840 owned it, like took it over as and like delivered 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.200 every day. Um. But yeah, no, that's refreshing to know. 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.240 And I but even when we talked to Bob before, 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.360 you know, he even said he went through a transition 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.000 where he was sick of it, sick of being known 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.600 as as Danny Tanner and like always being like you said, 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.160 type casted in that and then he kind of later 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:57.920 on realized and appreciated it all over again, especially because 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.200 of all these streaming services and gainey new fans like 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.080 you said you are you're talking to new Tree Hillers, 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.160 and the fact that there's teenagers that are becoming true 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.920 Tree Hill fans right now because of streaming services is amazing. Yeah, 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:16.960 for sure, interesting, But yeah, I wonder, I don't know. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.600 I'm excited and I'm excited. Talked her too. She she's 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.600 one of seven children, which means she's a hustler um, 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:26.760 and yeah, I'm excited to get her on to take 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.640 one my break before we have her colin, let's do it, Okay, 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:50.200 all right to rive Katey, Hey good, how are you? 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.560 Oh my gosh, I just want to can I start? 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.240 I loved watching you and dancing with the stars. Thank you? 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.120 So you're so sweet. Oh my gosh. I literally just 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:02.200 got a text from Pasha, my partner. He's not he's 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.840 in um Staten Island with this with his wife and family. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:08.199 So yeah, yeah, I mean you did. I I was 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.080 just because Michael is like the biggest office fan that 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.440 has ever lived. Um and and I you know, I 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.040 I love you from Dancing with the Stars, and I 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:22.119 was just like you were not only um, you you 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.520 were just how do I say it, Like you were 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.840 beautiful but yet you were relatable and you but yet 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.800 you were funny like you were you had all of 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.399 it together and just like an amazing package. Like I 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.080 one thousand percent, I think you should have won. Like 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.919 you were amazing and you were relatable, and I just 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.080 I loved watching you like you made me happy every 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.159 time you danced. So that's so I really appreciate that 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.000 I was. It was a really unexpected process for me. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.160 I didn't expect to enjoy it as much. I didn't 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.159 like the judging. But other than that, you know, I 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.840 didn't I didn't like that part either. Geta balls, you know, sorry, 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:56.800 I get a little meretith when I talk about the judges. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.399 But like, you know, you know, I know me and 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.000 me and Julianne went at it like one time, but 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.080 you know it happens because it's just like you put 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:05.720 so much work into it. It's like you know, you're 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.439 not a dancer, but you sure as heck fuled me 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:10.879 and I thought I loved it. So I had a 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.159 great teacher. Seriously, Pasha is a great teacher, and I 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.840 thought he was a great addition to the show. And 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.560 I actually did. I did a bunch of the tour. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.760 I just got off the road with the Dancing with 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.879 the Stars tour, which is crazy. I did um forty 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.240 three shows. I supposed to do fifty four but we 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.960 got pulled off early. But it was intense, I gotta 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.960 tell you, I literally, I mean it's a lot. We 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.240 were you know, we played Radio City and gosh, that's 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.240 so cool. You're on Rocket rollbus. I mean I got 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.760 the bedroom, so I felt a little twanky, but it 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.440 was so tough. You got the star room in the back, 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.520 and like if you call it that, yes, all the 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.399 beer cans came rolling back to my I love all right, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.280 Michael go you know, first of all, I mean, I 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.879 have a million questions, but I'll start slow. I was 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:56.840 asking Janna this because Jenna was on a on a 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.760 TV show that ran for a long time, One Tree Hill, 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.840 and has this cult following and stuff, and obviously the 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.760 office does. And always wonder if people who have had 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.400 the level of success on the singular show like you have. 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.639 Do you ever get tired talking about it? I don't 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.159 you know why I had such It was such a 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.680 great experience, and I feel like the love that people 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.080 have for it is so intense and like they're so 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:24.159 invested that I don't. I mean, I always wondered, like, 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.359 what's I mean? And maybe it's just luck. But the 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.600 writing was so amazing that even if I didn't speak 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.399 for days when we were shooting, I didn't care. It 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:36.119 was hysterical, like it was so smart, and I just 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.560 felt like, you know, I'm just so proud of it. 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:42.440 I love that people are like consuming it, like they're 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.000 breathing it is sleeping and breathing it like they can't 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.520 turn it off. But it's crazy. I heard a rumor 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.680 you were still waitressing during the show first season. Yeah. 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.560 I kept my restaurant job because I wasn't sure if 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.919 it was going to get picked up. We had all season, 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.520 just six episodes for the first season, so I literally 0:19:58.520 --> 0:19:59.960 covered my shift store in the weekend. I worked my 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:05.080 said they runched, Oh my gosh, and it started air 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.720 and and one customer said to me, excuse me, did 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.760 you just get a HYS direct to me? And I 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:15.040 was like, what, what the hell? No, actually, no, no, 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.600 actually I messed it up. They said, aren't you lactose 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.320 intolerant and I said, uh, well, thanks, yes, and thanks 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:25.280 for not bringing up my hys directed me that the 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.879 Alliance it's so weird. I mean, you know, it's so crazy. 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.560 Oh my gosh, but yeah, it was. It was so 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.639 so strong, and then like you know, and then it 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.200 clearly became clear that the show was going to move 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.040 forward and ever since, like Steve, you know, Steve came 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.280 out with forty year old Virgin. The signs were up 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.359 before we started season two and I was like, oh, 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.640 this could be really big, so you know, and then 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.560 when when that came out, it was like everyone just 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.160 you know, wanted more because Steve is such a He's amazing. 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.439 He's really I mean, I feel like we wrote on 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.760 his coattails in such a great way for such a 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.440 long time. Yes and no, at the same as a fan, 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.000 I just yeah, I mean Steve was amazing. I mean, 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.280 he carried such a heavy load on that show and 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:07.000 just delivered every time. But I think to your point, 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:09.560 the writing was so great where I felt like they 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:15.040 equally included everyone in that cast from you to Kevin too. 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:19.119 I mean, everybody like had their storylines. You knew so 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.000 much about every character where they wrote it in. It 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.400 was just like, and you know, Jane was making fun 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.880 of me. Were later in the seasons, I'm like, we're traveling, 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.919 I'm like crying to the office. She's like, what in 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:31.639 this a comedy? While you cry? I was like, you 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.919 don't know the whole backstory and it's just everywhere else. 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.040 So there's so much hard I thought. The Jim Pan 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:39.760 thing was always like, especially in the beginning, was so heartbreaking. 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:42.560 It would make me upset. As we were in the 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:46.000 writer's room, like just reading, like you know, reading each episode, 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:47.720 doing the table read. I'll be like, no, I'd be 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.679 so bummed when they'd almost get together. They're like, you know, 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:55.479 it was just so painful. Do you have I mean, 0:21:55.520 --> 0:22:00.280 I'm sure you have a million any specific memory from 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.840 that show that you're like, this was just that special 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:07.280 day or that special episode for you personally. Well, you know, 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:10.200 it's funny. I feel like Michael's last Dundees were amazing 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.880 for a number of reasons because that was the Walk 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.160 of Shame when Diego and Michael Scott come to Meredith's house. 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.760 She's coming in for the night before. That was the 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:21.480
