And so 510 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: it just because it which allowed a whole new generation 511 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: of young people to find it. And it's so subversive 512 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. It's so on PC in 513 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Yes, And I think that there's 514 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: a lot of young people who are like, oh, like this, 515 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: this can't kind of show couldn't really be on in 516 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: this way anywhere? 517 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: Right?

When they when they have the office 525 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: on the on the plane, that's what I watch because 526 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna laugh. 527 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 2: I know I'm gonna laugh. 528 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: And also I love about it is like there is 529 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: a rough season arc obviously, but you can kind of 530 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: just bop in at any moment and you're gonna laugh 531 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: at whatever is happening. 532 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 4: Well that that's actually a big discovery. So this is 533 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 4: it's a little deep, and I don't I think meta 534 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 4: is the wrong word. But the show was built for 535 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 4: streaming before streaming exists. And I'll tell you what I mean. 536 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 4: He Greg Daniels, our creator, He wrote a lot of 537 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 4: like three and four episode arcs, right, So it's like 538 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 4: Idris Elba comes in to be this temporary boss and 539 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 4: he's there three or four episodes, and then he goes, 540 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 4: Jim goes and takes a job at the other paper. 541 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 4: Come and this lasts for a few episodes and it 542 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 4: goes or this relationship or this whatever. And so I 543 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 4: think that people, you know, it's twenty two minutes if 544 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 4: you're watching it or whatever, and it's like, Okay, we 545 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 4: can watch three episodes, have a little story, and then 546 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 4: be like, okay, we'll pick that up later. I think 547 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 4: some people have said that, but I think to your 548 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 4: point about the young people, I always said the subversive thing. 549 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 4: I think that sort of a new discovery for me 550 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 4: is that the relationship between an unreasonable boss who makes 551 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 4: his employees unreasonable embarrassing things is closely mirrored to an 552 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 4: unreasonable teacher who makes their students do unreasonable things while 553 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 4: sitting next to people who you don't choose to sit 554 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 4: next to, and you have projects and all of that. 555 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: And I think that relatability for high school, college, even 556 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 4: junior high, Like, I think that's a real, real thing. 557 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: And also dealing with people who like Steve Carrell, never 558 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: says the right thing, and everyone in their life has 559 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: someone who's older who doesn't say the right thing, and 560 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: they're and they're trying to educate them and why they 561 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: can't say that. But watching him fumble through, I mean, 562 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: he's so fucking perfect in that role that. 563 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 4: Every everyone that's nice. 564 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean tell us about sorry, let's go back 565 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: to the very beginning and just tell us about because 566 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: I always like to hear audition stories. 567 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 2: How did you get this this amazing role? Well, so 568 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 2: you're a Northwestern graduate, aren't you? 569 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 4: So I went I went to no. So I went 570 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 4: to northwesterns. Like they're the Cherub program. 571 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: Yes, that's for people who don't know. That's like their 572 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: high school summer program. 573 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, which is like one year between junior and senior year. 574 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 4: And I did that and that was where for me 575 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 4: because one of the things that I talk about people 576 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 4: when I'm talking to them is like, when for you 577 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 4: did it become like, oh, this is what I want 578 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 4: to do as opposed to a hobby. And maybe that's 579 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 4: because for me, like it was like, oh, I'm going 580 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 4: to do this play in school, I'm gonna, you know, 581 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 4: audition for this or whatever. But I just felt like 582 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 4: it was an activity or I don't know what helped 583 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 4: me get into college. But then I'll be a lawyer 584 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 4: or whatever. And that was the moment for me where 585 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 4: I was like, oh, like creating a character and objectives 586 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 4: and all of the physical and I'm gonna do voice. 587 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 4: And I was like, Oh, this is like a thing. 588 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 4: And that's where I decided. I went to SMU in Dallas, 589 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 4: and I think the thing for me, which I don't 590 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 4: know if it's unique or not, but I never I'm 591 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 4: curious about you guys, like I never thought truly, I 592 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 4: never thought about film and television, Like I watched television 593 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 4: and I watched movies, but there was a disassociation for 594 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 4: it was like I'm a theater guy. Like that's what 595 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 4: I'm doing, and that was sort of all I wanted 596 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 4: to do. I didn't have any and it wasn't like 597 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 4: I thought I couldn't or I don't know. There just 598 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 4: was like a consciousness thing for me, Like I never 599 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 4: was like I'm going to audition for this commercial or 600 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 4: this TV show or whatever. So I was doing theater 601 00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 4: and then visited Los Angeles and well, and also lived 602 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 4: doing eight shows a week in the theater and like 603 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 4: this is not easy for the rest of my life. 604 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 4: So I was primarily based in Minneapolis, and I would 605 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 4: say that, you know, there's the Guthrie Theater there, which 606 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 4: is like a huge regional theater. And I was traveling 607 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 4: around and doing shows, touring some of New York and 608 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 4: Chicago and San Francisco and Dallas and you know, sort 609 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 4: of doing that and I was getting jobs, and then 610 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 4: was like, okay, I think I think I want to 611 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 4: for I just fell in love with Los Angeles, like 612 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 4: the weather, like the city, like city outre nineties in 613 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 4: Westwood at a coffee bean, was like, wow, this. You 614 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 4: don't get this in Minneapolis. And so you know, I 615 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 4: struggled doing shows for not a lot of people, or 616 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: doing a lot of shows. 617 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 2: When I how did you make a living when you 618 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 2: moved out to La. 619 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 4: So well, this is my point, which I was a 620 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 4: bunch of excuses. And then to say I met the 621 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 4: folks on the office just a couple of months after 622 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 4: I moved. Oh wow, So I. 623 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: Don't they want to put a disclaimer to the audience 624 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: that don't do that. 625 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 2: But that doesn't happen. 626 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 4: It doesn't, It really does. It doesn't. But I will 627 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 4: say this, and this is kind of a new discovery 628 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 4: for me, which is I I think the fact that 629 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 4: I hadn't been here for that show really helped me 630 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 4: because I was so I wasn't like, there was no nerves. 631 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 4: I wasn't nervous, and there's sort of every step along 632 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 4: the way, I was like, well, of course this is 633 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 4: going to happen, Like I didn't have that like self 634 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 4: doubt or like feeling like this is the most important 635 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 4: thing if I don't get it, like I only. 636 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: Thought even though you moved here, you would knew you 637 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,479 Speaker 1: would still be like, holy shit, this could be life changing. 638 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 4: No, it's weird. I don't know why. I can't really 639 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 4: explain why, but the but I was but that that 640 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 4: part was certainly lucky. But think about this too, though. 641 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 4: When we started right, so I was hired in let 642 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 4: me get the math right. The pilot was like February 643 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 4: of two thousand and four, between February of two thousand 644 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 4: and four and September or you know, August when we 645 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 4: came back to work of two thousand and five, so 646 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 4: like over a year and a half. We shot six episodes. 647 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 4: So when Donald was talking about like we were, we 648 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 4: only shot six. You know, we shot the pilot and 649 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 4: then we shot five more and then it didn't air 650 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 4: until you know, like spring of five. So it was 651 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 4: over a year that it aired after we shot the pilot, 652 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 4: So it had start right, It wasn't it very slow, 653 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 4: So it wasn't they hit off the again. 654 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: NBC is very you know what shout out to NBC 655 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 2: back in the day, they don't do that no more. 656 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: They don't do that no more.

What I am told is that the 676 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 4: only reason we got to make more than a pilot. 677 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 4: They have the what do you call them, the testing Yes, 678 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 4: so they bring people in and they have people test 679 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 4: and it did not test well except for one room, 680 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 4: which was they had one room which were the assistants 681 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 4: at NBC. So like the people who were like secretaries 682 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 4: and low level development people, they sort of put them 683 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 4: in like okay, why don't you weigh in? And those 684 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 4: young people liked it, and I was told the same 685 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 4: thing happened with Seinfeld. So they decided to give it, 686 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 4: give us a chance. 687 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: It's amazing when you watch it now to go like, 688 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: how could you know any there's so many stories in 689 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: Hollywood of course, of like, how could you not think 690 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: this is genius? It was so it. 691 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: Didn't make it. 692 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: But also it is so unique. It is so unique. 693 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: Obviously there had been the British Office, right, so we 694 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: had those of us. I loved that, and plenty of 695 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: us had a had a frame of reference. And I 696 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: remember thinking, how the hell? I mean, Steve Correll's genius, 697 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: of course, but how is he gonna top what Ricky 698 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: Gervais is doing. It's so it's so unique, and it's 699 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: so it. 700 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 2: Was also so also it was so graphic, and I 701 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 2: mean and dirty, like the ship he said yes on 702 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: HBO was like they were going to they were going 703 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 2: to get away with that. 704 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 1: And also it was so English of course, so how 705 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: how does this get americanized? And and and I was so, 706 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: and then it does how many episodes actually reflect the 707 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: office episodes or the British only the pilot. 708 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 4: Only the pilot, yes, which which Greg Daniel said, which 709 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 4: I learned this much later. He did that so that 710 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 4: he wouldn't get notes from the network on the script. 711 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 4: So what he did was he spent the time on 712 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 4: the cast, on the characters, on the world. So he 713 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 4: considered himself like world building of what dunder Mifflin was 714 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 4: and the relation, you know, like where everybody sat in there. 715 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 4: It was all very planned out in terms of the 716 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 4: type of characters they were and how they would interact 717 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 4: and you know, who they would associate with or not 718 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 4: associate with, or be forced to be next to someone 719 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 4: like Angela and I who really didn't didn't belong. But 720 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 4: there was a barrier in front of the only barrier 721 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 4: in the whole office in between us and all of 722 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 4: that stuff. 723 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't a set, right, wasn't it a real building? 724 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 4: So the so we moved, Oh, the first six episodes, 725 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 4: there was there's an old God you guys, I'm sure 726 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 4: wouldn't know it.

And 732 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 4: so the production offices for that building is under Befalin, 733 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 4: so upstairs when you go upstairs and like where the 734 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 4: production offices would be, that that was our set.

Yeah, it was Uh, that was pretty special. 834 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 4: But yeah, we we you know, the amount of whatever 835 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 4: improv got into an episode obviously just varied per per 836 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,479 Speaker 4: you know, per episode, but but we were always given 837 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 4: an opportunity even even the scenes too. 838 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,720 Speaker 2: Was anybody brave enough to go against Steve Man? 839 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 4: I mean it was really hard, and it's all it 840 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 4: was also hard just because of the structure, like he 841 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 4: you know, he's you know, especially like I mean, you 842 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 4: think about sort of the quote unquote famous scenes in 843 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,919 Speaker 4: the conference room. So he's standing, you're sitting. There's sort 844 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 4: of no, I mean, you're already out of power imbalance there. 845 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 4: And then you have him who might be truly, like, 846 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 4: I honestly believe this the greatest improviser ever. And the 847 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 4: reason I say that is because not only is he funny, 848 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 4: not only can he come up with any thing in 849 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 4: the moment, but what he does, which without naming any 850 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 4: names other people have trouble with, is he's always on story, 851 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 4: like on topic. Like he's never going you know, he's 852 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 4: never saying something that's like, well, Michael wouldn't say that, 853 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 4: or but he also understands like what the whole of 854 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 4: the script, the individual episode or the season that we're on, 855 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 4: like where he's trying to get and he's just yeah, 856 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 4: I mean he's. 857 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: I love watching clips of the bloopers. I mean, I 858 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 1: know scrubs fans love watching scrub yeahs. But when I 859 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: saw recently, my Instagram knows now that I love office bloopers, 860 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: and I saw see where he was explaining his home 861 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 1: entertainment system to Jim and watching his Carrell try and 862 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: he couldn't get through it. It was so funny watching 863 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: him not be able to get through his improv. 864 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 4: Probably the closest, you know, some of your audience may 865 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 4: have heard this before, but probably the closest to like 866 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 4: standing standing up to him, which wasn't even standing up 867 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,839 Speaker 4: to him was if you remember the episode which, by 868 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 4: the way, can you even say the title of this 869 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 4: episode these days on television?

Did 1001 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 1: you have anything to do with I mean, did this 1002 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 1: come out of the blue or do you really make 1003 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 1: a good chili? 1004 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,320 Speaker 4: Well, you're talking about there was the episode. 1005 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 2: I'm with the episode when it first. 1006 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: I know you made it, you wrote a book, but 1007 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:53,839 Speaker 1: but like both like. 1008 00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 4: To the writers that writers, yeah, and you know I 1009 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 4: I do, so I do think. All right, here here's 1010 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 4: my here's my cheeseball pitch for you. Right. That the 1011 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,840 Speaker 4: reason that people respond to the show, and particularly like 1012 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 4: during a global pandemic, right, is the last line of 1013 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 4: the show. I'm getting serious with you for a second, 1014 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 4: but the last line of the show that Greg Daniels 1015 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,080 Speaker 4: wrote the last episode. So he wrote it. Pam says, 1016 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 4: you know that She's asked like, why would they make 1017 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 4: a documentary of his paper company or whatever? And her 1018 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 4: answer is there's beauty and ordinary things. Isn't that kind 1019 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 4: of the point. And so for me, when you look 1020 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 4: at sort of the totality everybody, you know, a lot 1021 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 4: of people are mean. There's Michael says, inappropriate things you 1022 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 4: could sue, but like there is sort of a genuine 1023 00:52:54,680 --> 00:53:01,879 Speaker 4: kindness and a celebration of very small moments. Right. It's 1024 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 4: like the opposite of twenty four or whatever, you know, 1025 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 4: some big spy show or whatever. And so to me, 1026 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,279 Speaker 4: part of that chili thing is that it is like 1027 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 4: this guy does this one thing that many people in 1028 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 4: America around the world do. They make a great chili. 1029 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 4: They're proud of it. They are celebrated by their friends 1030 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 4: and family doing it, and this is the thing that 1031 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 4: gives them great pride on the weekends and maybe goes 1032 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 4: to chili festivals and participates in competitions, and he believes 1033 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 4: this is the thing he does best. Now it's a comedy, 1034 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 4: so he spills it on the floor and you know, 1035 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 4: there's genius physical comedy by me whatever. Yes, but the 1036 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:49,359 Speaker 4: idea is like that celebration. To me, that is in 1037 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,279 Speaker 4: some ways like because people talk about it all the time, 1038 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:57,240 Speaker 4: but it is like a physical embodiment of that thing 1039 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,839 Speaker 4: that the show is trying to sell break, which is 1040 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 4: like just a teeny victory or you know, a great 1041 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,320 Speaker 4: thing that an ordinary person does. 1042 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,360 Speaker 2: So that led to you genuinely getting into. 1043 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 4: Chili, it did? I mean it started as a joke. 1044 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,279 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, right, you were associated with chili because 1045 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: of the show. Yeah, Like I made like I had 1046 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 1: never made chili before. The people I associate you with chili? 1047 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,920 Speaker 4: Oh one hun, do you go. 1048 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 1: To cookoffs and stuff like, oh yeah, he's made a book. 1049 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 1: You wrote a bullets. 1050 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 4: A cookbook about chili. 1051 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 2: But did you write the cookbook about chili? 1052 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 1: Yes, so you must have collected collected yes, yes, yes, 1053 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,759 Speaker 1: so I put some of my but I made it one. 1054 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 1: Let's take a shout out to it.

Well, actually, I'll tell you 1057 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,880 Speaker 4: that my funniest interaction was I was traveling, I was alone. 1058 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 4: I was in a hotel bar, sitting there and like 1059 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 4: the hat on like he and I just finished eating 1060 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,320 Speaker 4: and the bartender like it had been cleared away, and 1061 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 4: the bartender comes by and sets something down in front 1062 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 4: of me. I don't even really look or process. I 1063 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 4: just sort of look up and I'm like, oh no, no, 1064 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,440 Speaker 4: I've already eaten, and he kind of leans down. It's 1065 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 4: like the fifties, the forties, I don't know what kind 1066 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,360 Speaker 4: of movie, but he just kind of leans on the 1067 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 4: bar and he's like, this is from the woman at 1068 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,920 Speaker 4: the end of the bar, and it's yes, it's a 1069 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 4: bowl of chili. Like that is what I don't get 1070 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 4: set a drake, I get like bowls of chili. 1071 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 1: That's hilarious. That's what happens. People associate you with it, 1072 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 1: and it's like a it was smart of you to 1073 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 1: lean into that, because have you become good at making 1074 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:43,919 Speaker 1: chili at this point? 1075 00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 4: Yeah? Well now yeah, no, I like and I do 1076 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,520 Speaker 4: really ENLiGHT I do really like it. Well, and that's 1077 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 4: where the inspiration for the book came is. I got 1078 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 4: invited to and this thing is not like a couple 1079 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 4: of years. It's now I don't know how many, it's 1080 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,760 Speaker 4: over fifty years. Actually happens at the end of September. 1081 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 4: I'm not going this year, but the World Championship Chili 1082 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 4: Cookoff you have to win like your state region. It's 1083 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:14,040 Speaker 4: in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and so I went there, 1084 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,359 Speaker 4: got to know them. They asked me to judge the thing, 1085 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,280 Speaker 4: and then I was I was like sort of blown 1086 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 4: away by oh wait, this is chicken, this is white, 1087 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,839 Speaker 4: this is ver day like a green chili, and all 1088 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 4: this type of stuff. And so we sort of put 1089 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 4: that together for fun. But I know, I really do 1090 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 4: enjoy it and the the culture of it too. 1091 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 2: I let you go, okay, but before we go, I 1092 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,319 Speaker 2: do love a good chow. I just wanted to say 1093 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:44,760 Speaker 2: I do. I just want to appreciate. 1094 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 1: Okay, you want the audience to know that you love 1095 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 1: Chili audience, have you registered the Donald audience? 1096 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,240 Speaker 2: Dear audience, I do love. 1097 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,440 Speaker 1: Now now I just read this in the notes. In 1098 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty alone, Americans cum relatively streamed more than fifty 1099 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 1: seven billion minutes of the Office, making it the most 1100 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: watched show of the year. That was during Lockdown. It 1101 00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 1: was like the most watched show of Lockdown. I'm assuming, yes, 1102 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 1: that's insane. So then that tell me about you have 1103 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 1: your own podcast. It's obviously different from the Office Ladies. 1104 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,640 Speaker 1: They the Office Ladies were the inspiration for us, by 1105 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 1: the way, we I'm sure they were. That popped off 1106 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 1: and people started approaching Donald and I and it was 1107 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: it was and we said, okay, that sounds fun. Shoot 1108 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: the shit with Donald about episodes. That sounds great. But 1109 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: you have your own podcast. What's tell people about that 1110 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 1: who don't know about it so they can find. 1111 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,840 Speaker 4: It off the beat is what it's called. You know 1112 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 4: it started? Actually, so I did a Spotify exclusive podcast 1113 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 4: that started right about the time that Jenna and Angelas 1114 00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,920 Speaker 4: started Office Ladies, and it was called Oral History of 1115 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,520 Speaker 4: the Office and it was totally different than what you 1116 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:08,840 Speaker 4: guys do and what they were doing. What was curious 1117 00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 4: to me because these numbers had started streaming and by 1118 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 4: the way, those numbers, this is what I mean like 1119 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 4: when we started like getting approached in airports, it was 1120 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 4: they started releasing for a brief period of time like 1121 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 4: streaming numbers, and we were like the stepchild's of NBC. 1122 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,080 Speaker 4: And they released the numbers and it was like, not 1123 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 4: only were we at the top and Friends was number two, 1124 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 4: but we were double what Friends were doing. It was 1125 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,440 Speaker 4: this sort of insane thing, and so I put together 1126 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 4: I interviewed everyone from the show, writers, crew, actors. We 1127 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 4: did about one hundred and fifty hours of interviews to 1128 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,560 Speaker 4: answer the question of why why did this happen? Like 1129 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 4: why has this now sort of come back? So I 1130 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,080 Speaker 4: started with that I loved it, then started talking to 1131 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 4: other people. Love to have you guys on at some 1132 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 4: point it's off the beat, which now you can you 1133 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 4: can get wherever you get your podcasts, and yeah, it's 1134 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 4: it's it's really fun for me.
