WEBVTT - Angela Kinsey - Pt. 2

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>My name is Angela Kinsey and I played Angela Martin. Hello,

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:21.119
<v Speaker 1>my dear friends and listeners. It's good to have you

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>back and t G I F as they say. That's right, folks,

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I am coming to you with a very special bonus

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>episode of the Office Deep Dive. I am your host,

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Brian Baumgartner. Today Friday, I am so happy to bring

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>you the second half of my conversation with Angela Kinsey. Now,

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't listened to the first part, go back

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and check that out. It is delightful. But I wanted

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to save this part until now for two reasons. The

0:00:56.080 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>first is that today is an Angela's birthday, or as

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Dwight would say, it is your birthday. Happy birthday, Angela, Uh.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>This is my this is my homage to you on

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>your very special day. And the second reason is that

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>today Angela and I are really getting into the camera's

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>role on the show and her relationship to it as

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>an actor, so I wanted to save this part for

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>our camera as character mini Deep Dive, we also talk

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 1>about Angela's love life, the character Angela uh, and the

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>time I almost literally broke her on set, and lots

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>of other fond memories. So pull up a chair, or

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>strap on your seatbelt tighter however you're listening to this,

0:01:52.560 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>or run on your peloton faster. Enjoy Angela, Kenzie, Bubble

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and Squeak, I love it. Bubble and Squeaker, Bubble and

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Squeaker Cookie every more live over from the nut before.

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>In terms of the shooting of the show, the thing

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that I'm the most um proud of is the artistic

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>integrity that came with having the camera be a character.

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any specific moments that you remember about

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>interacting with the camera or having the camera as a character. Well,

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I have years of a clandestine relationship, you know, So

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that was always something we had to consider when Dwight

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and I had scenes, is like are we camera aware?

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Do we know that the camera's picking this up? Our

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>secret rendezvous and our characters look around for the camera,

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and there's times when we see that we've been caught

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and when we react to being caught. So that the

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>camera truly was a character. That crew member was there

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and we were trying to hide from that crew member

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and not be exposed. So that that was always a

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>really fun um fun thing to play off of. And

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>then I loved at the end that we then get

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>to see the footage and we all crowd around Oscar's

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>desk and the revelations that come from that. Um So

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I I love that that got to pay off. And

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>so when Angela and Dwight were going off on their trysts,

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you were always camera aware. You were always aware of

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>where the camera was. Did you ever forget? Oh we did.

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean we would get caught in the throes of

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>passion and forget. But there was always a moment where

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>we looked around before we spoke or did something. There

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>was always some moment where we were checking in, like

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>in the warehouse, did we get away kind of look around,

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes we never saw the camera. They truly were

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>hidden and a spy shot. And then there were times

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>where one of us would find it, usually me, and

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.839
<v Speaker 1>then I would walk off in a huff. That's such

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>an interesting There's something so interesting to me about the

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>camera being a character and thinking about Dwight and Angela

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>that that they were really trying to figure you guys out. Yeah,

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Like if you think about it, like reality TV, there

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>was some segment producer that's like get on that they're

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>meeting in the warehouse find him. We want that. What, Um,

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>how did your relationship? How did it change Angela? Well?

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I think for me, it just opened her up because

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a lot of people that I guess

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning could sort of see her as one note, like, oh,

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>she's just the office bitch. Well guess what, the office

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>bitch can be a bitch in love. There's there's a

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.799
<v Speaker 1>there's you know, sneaky bitch. They're super dishes bitch, there's

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>uppitty bitch, there's madly in love bitch. Like there's layers

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to her grumpiness, and um, she just as someone I

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>think who's very fear based. And I think her falling

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>in love with Dwight and having to step out of

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>her comfort zone and trust someone and let someone in

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and made her just more three dimensional to me. Right

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>when Angela and Dwight started together, were you aware of

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>what it was going to turn into? No? No, absolutely not.

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>And I mean I've talked about this quite a bit

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that we would find out things at the table read.

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>So we're at the table read and it's the episode

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>where Jim has a barbecue and all of a sudden

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>there's two barking stocks rubbing back and forth in the

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.559
<v Speaker 1>dollhouse outside. Rain and I were like what and um,

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Greg had told me that in the writer's room, Um,

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>they like to try to pitch like different people, different

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>characters within the show that might bring out an interesting

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.119
<v Speaker 1>other side to the other person. And so they would

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>like sort of brainstorm name on you know, postcards. And

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>they love the idea of Dwight and Angela and that

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>that kind of couple seeking power you know. Um, and

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 1>they make sense right. It was ridiculous. I mean, having

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>a you know, contract to have a baby and your

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>rules and his rules and your needs and his requirements

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>juxtaposed with Pam and Jam and they're sort of sweet, normal,

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>well somewhat normal, unrequited. Yeah, um, I thought brought great comedy,

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>but also it's a testament to you and your work

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>and Rain that people bought into it and and believed

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>it as ridiculous as it was. Well, I think in

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>their own way. There's their story isn't much different than

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Jim and Pam. It's two people that love each other

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and are both a little too scared to let the

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 1>other person know how much they love each other and

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>find ways to throw up all these roadblocks, roadblocks, until

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 1>they finally just step out into that scary place and say,

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm in it to win it. This is me.

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>You got me right. And but they have their you know,

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Jim and Pam. Maybe maybe hers is flirting with him

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit and then he picks her up and

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>her shirt comes up and you can see your belly

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and she gets embarrassed and then she doesn't talk to

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>him the rest of the day. Maybe that's what's happening there.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>For us, it's like, well, I you know, I will

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>here is my like card that we whole punched whenever

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>we had sex, like what was it called like a

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>frequent like it was an intercourse like punch car. I mean,

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>we had our own weird things of just stalling what

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>was ultimately what we both wanted. And how much communication

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>did you have with the writers about that story? It

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>really was the writers. It was they would come up

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 1>with these ideas and I really didn't go to them

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>very many times in the course of the show with

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>anything that bumped me. Now I would have pitches for them,

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. Jim and I pitched to Greg one day

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>on set about these ridiculous kind of workshops we'd have

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to do. We both worked in corporate America and there

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>were these things like a women in the Workplace kind

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of seminar, and we were telling him about it and

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>he was like, hold up, hold up, b J, come here,

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>write this down. And he made b jaket a notepadded

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>that one little nugget. Of course, BJ took it and

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>ran with it became I think the episodes called Boys

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and Girls. Is that what it's called now I'm looking Yes,

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>boys and Girls is the fifte episode of the second season.

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 1>So that was Jenna and I pitching that, you know,

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>are women in the workplace stuff? Interesting? Um, so Dwight

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and Angela are together. What was it like bringing Andy

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>played by Ed Helms into that well, that just seemed

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.959
<v Speaker 1>doomed from the start. Yes, I mean, you know, it

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>was revenge dating. I always felt bad for Andy. I

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>felt bad for Andy from day one. Andy so desperately

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you just wanted someone, you think, anyone, you know, and

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I just I just always felt really badly for him.

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>And again, it was that thing like Jim and Pam,

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>where they had to have these foils, you know, to

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>sort of keep them apart, you know, Dwight and I

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Dwight did put my cat in the freezer,

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>which was really sucky. And then she dates Andy, and

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>then he dates and then you know, so we had

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>all of these sort of foil relationships. But Ed Helms

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 1>as a person was so fun. He was so fun

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to work with. That was nice to throw that in there.

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>At the end. I felt really bad. I felt my character.

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I felt bad for Andy, But it was really you

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>were saying, how was it? Having Ed around? Ed is delightful?

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And his trailer was next to mine. He'd played the

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>banjo and I'd go over and hang out and he

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.319
<v Speaker 1>was so fun. There's a behind the scenes story for

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you folks. Ed playing the banjo? Um, so are obviously

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>are things were happening in our personal lives, and we were, well,

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>you got during the writers strike, righty, and you came

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>back and you were really pregnant. How was that? Well?

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>It was? It was. It was a little tricky because

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I was very early pregnant right as the strike started,

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>right as we all went on this kind of odd

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>hiatus mid season. But my you couldn't tell my body.

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really start showing for a bit, and then

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 1>we came back. Was it three months later. Yeah, and

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, I was completely showing I

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.680
<v Speaker 1>was having a baby. And so I remember us sitting

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>around being like, Okay, how do we hide this? How

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>do we hide it? Because it wouldn't have made sense

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>for my character to all of a sudden be pregnant.

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>It maybe would have been different had the series had

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>its full run that year. Um, So we had to

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>hide it. There was no other way. And I had

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.319
<v Speaker 1>one of the most hilarious conversations with Paul Feig, who

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>was directing an episode where Phillis Watson on UM Dwight

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and Angela making out in the office, and I was, oh,

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>seven and a half months pregnant, and they were trying

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>to have Rain hide my belly with his body as

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>we're like making out and and we're supposed to be

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.719
<v Speaker 1>in like stages of mid undress, you know, like Rain

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>has a shirt off. So they were like at first,

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>they're like, well, what if Angel looked out on her

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 1>force or I stood here, or what if we put

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>her here? And it was like, where do you put

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the giant pregnant belly? What do we do that doesn't

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>also look really inappropriate? And instead of mildly inappropriate. I

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>did not know that story. Wow. So the show also

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of rode this wave of technology social media. Talk

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to me about your you were on my Space? Well,

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Jenna got on my Space and then got a few

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of us on it, and we did these MySpace blogs.

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>We weren't just convinced, probably for two and a half years,

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>that we were going to get canceled, so anyway we

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.439
<v Speaker 1>could try to connect and get the get the word

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>out about the show, So we would do these behind

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:26.199
<v Speaker 1>the scenes blogs and stuff. I actually printed out all

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.959
<v Speaker 1>of them. I have all of mine, and you do.

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I do, and um, it is really funny you you

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>really see just your journey even as just a young person. Wow. Yeah.

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And some of it is like embarrassing, like the stuff

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 1>that I'm like, oh my god, here was the thing

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>we had a chocolate fountain. You're like, okay, lady, relax,

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 1>Well you were involved with that. The show. You know

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>what we talked about before iTunes becoming big, and then

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>we were the first show that did original content for

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the internet NBC dot com. We did webisodes. Of course,

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>no one knew what the Hello We episode was. We

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't either. They were going to be little vignettes that

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 1>would live on the Internet. And we won an Emmy

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 1>for one The Accountants, The Accountants and a cameo by

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Rain as Dwight cameo by Rain, but he didn't win

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>an Emmy. No, he did it. He did it. I

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>know jennat so you let Jenna, you can touch mine,

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.959
<v Speaker 1>That's what she said. Um, so this is something that

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. I don't know that everybody knows. But when

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>the show won an Emmy for Best Comedy Ensemble, you

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 1>would think as the comedy ensemble, we would all get

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 1>an Emmy, but we were not producer credit and only

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.559
<v Speaker 1>the producers get an Emmy. And I think that is

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of bs so um television and out of me.

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.959
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone should get an Emmy. That's what I think.

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>But then as the webisode series, we were nominated Brian

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and Oscar and I for a Daytime Emmy and we

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 1>got it. So Jenna does not have an Emmy because

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the year we won, she was not a producer. Years

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>later some folks got producer credit, but we did not

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>win again. So I told Jenna our idea that there

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>should be The Accountants spin off, and she was like, yes,

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 1>why is that happening? So Bonnie Hammer at NBC dot com,

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>if you'd like to see the Accountants spin off, you

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>know if we if we're available, we'll make it happen.

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>What what do you remember some of your favorite moments?

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to see what the Booths reaction of

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>that was. Um, some of my favorite moments from the Corner, Brian.

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Every week, every week there was a favorite moment every week.

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite things that Oscar would do is

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>whenever I had lines that I had to say really

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>seriously because Angela was always very serious. In the background,

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>he would be pretending to add on his adding machine,

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>but he only uses knuckles like a caveman like cluk

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>cluk cluk, But he did that try to mess with

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>me and then you and I there were times that

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>there was a scene happening. I could not make eye

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>contact with you because if I did, we'd both go.

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I love in the healthcare episode that you full and

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>see us break and you do this thing, Brian that

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>when someone breaks, it's it's like to deflect from you.

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 1>You call him out. And so so Rain comes out

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and says hot dog fingers and I start laughing. I

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>double I kind of double over and start laughing. I

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>fully break character and you laugh, but you point at

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>me like she did it, and it's in the episode

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 1>they left it in. So every week was great. What

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 1>do you think made our little group of the accounts

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in the corner so special? I think the dynamic. I mean,

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I just always felt like Oscar and I were your

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>parents and you were our idiot son who still lived

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.080
<v Speaker 1>at home. I mean, I just the three of as,

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>we're just so in sync. From the very beginning, I

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>view it the three of us there as sort of

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 1>this perfect comedy triangle. Right. You've got the stern one

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>who's got to be in control, You've got the slower

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>one who kind of likes to get under the skin

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>of the one who likes to be in control. And

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>then you have to put upon one Oscar and you

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>have this, but he has to also be the referee totally.

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>He's the referee in between you and I. But also

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>then the alliances keep shifting. It's Kevin and Oscar against

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Angela whenever they want to play. It's Angela and Oscar

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 1>against Kevin whenever they actually have to get things done.

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, is it ever Angela and Kevin. No, I

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. I don't think so. Well. Actually, one

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite pictures that I have is a picture.

0:16:54.920 --> 0:17:00.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a selfie that we took in a car and

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>we were filming the episode at your house with the

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>creepy portrait of Angela. Yes, because he's mean to you.

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right, you come up, you stand up for me.

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Kevin stands up for you. Oh that's really sweet. Yeah,

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:22.199
<v Speaker 1>you know what. It's Kevin and Angela versus Oscar when

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Angela finds out Oscar is sleeping with her husband. Yes,

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>but Kevin knew, but Ken knew. Kevin knew, but he

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:35.160
<v Speaker 1>was more just happy that he kept a secret. Yeah,

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.119
<v Speaker 1>he was so proud of himself. Well. One of my

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>favorite running bits that we had, and I know you

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 1>know this, was that we would say, first of all,

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>whenever we had the smallest scene, you would think it

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.159
<v Speaker 1>was gonna like we were going to get an Oscar

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.399
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. That sounds serious. We took it

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and there were times I would turn to you guys,

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'd be like, guys, it's not our show. It's

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 1>not our show. Today is not about us. It's not

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.239
<v Speaker 1>our show. But one of my favorite things. As Oscar said, well,

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll have a spin off on Telemundo and it

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 1>would be Oscar and Hello Caban that. Oh gosh, I

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>think that no one thought that we were funnier than

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:18.680
<v Speaker 1>we did over an accounting. Yeah, well just all of

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>us over there. I just referred to um, I would

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 1>injure you a lot. Okay, I have to say one

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>thing about that. Creed just came on Jenna Nice podcast

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Office Ladies and we're talking about Halloween, and then he

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>referenced another another episode and he goes and that's when

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Brian like like body checked you, Angela and you went flying.

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>He was like he was always doing that. That was hilarious.

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Creed thought it was funny. That that's good. It cracked

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>me up. I always just had the idea that Kevin

0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>was not aware of the size of his body and

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 1>so he wouldn't think that he would, you know, potentially

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 1>injure a smaller person walking by or anyone, because it

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>would make me laugh so hard just nudging you and

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 1>having you go flying one time into the well. I

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 1>think I hurt you that one time into the bushes.

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>The bushes when there was an actual physical imprint of

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 1>my body in the bushes and I got peeled out.

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>That was that wasn't a good my, my. And then

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>there was one time you you checked me into the

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.120
<v Speaker 1>blinds in the conference room that I didn't think John

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.480
<v Speaker 1>was going to be able to recover from. But my

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.160
<v Speaker 1>personal favorite was one of the first times it happened.

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.920
<v Speaker 1>It was purely by accident, and you had to walk

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>around behind me. They gave you the action at the

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.440
<v Speaker 1>top of the scene accounting. You were to walk behind

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 1>me to the file cabinets behind me, and I'm standing

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.760
<v Speaker 1>at my desk and I had a line where I

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 1>had to say, Oscar, did you do the payroll? And

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 1>when Brian walked by, by accident, you bumped into me

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 1>and I you you pump into me and I went

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 1>flying and I said, Oscar, but I was midsing and

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 1>so I said, Oscar, did you the and I didn't

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you hit me? I went up on payroll like like that,

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and you could not could not get back from that.

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>You started laughing so hard. O god, And that was

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of that, the beginning. Yeah, um, who is

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 1>your favorite guest star we ever had? Oh gosh, we

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>had so many good ones. I mean I have favorites

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 1>for different reasons, do you know what I mean? Like

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.440
<v Speaker 1>a dressed Elba he was just like so cool. I

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, maybe if I hang out with him, I'll

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 1>be cool. Uh and then um, I loved Oh wait

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>are you good? But you look you three? Brian laughed

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and throw his head back and his headphones came head

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.639
<v Speaker 1>fans went flying off. That was funny. Alright, um, did

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you say head fans, head fans, welcome to the podcast world.

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Shut it. That's Brian's favorite thing. By the way, when

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I would give him hard time, he'd go shut it. Um, Okay,

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.120
<v Speaker 1>So I loved it dress because he just was cool.

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I talked to Cathy Bates about r VS

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and traveling around America and RV and I'm like, you're

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 1>really cool. Um. James Spader though one of my all

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:32.360
<v Speaker 1>time favorites because, like Creed, he just would say things

0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and would be like, wait, is that he has lived

0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.479
<v Speaker 1>a life and and I'll never forget. We had hair

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:43.479
<v Speaker 1>and makeup side by side, Like we'd get touch ups

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>at lunch side by side. So I'd be sitting in

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 1>a chair next him and I was talking to Kenneth Paul,

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>who did my makeup about the fact that my daughter

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:51.920
<v Speaker 1>liked to sleep in bed with me, and that I

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 1>felt bad. And you know, I knew she was getting older.

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 1>She was like four years old, and I knew I

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't let her crawl in a bed and sleep with

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 1>me in the night, but she's so snugly, and and

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I just thought I was talking to Kenneth Paul because

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>when James Spader would come in to get his makeup done,

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 1>it looked like he went into a trance, like asleep,

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:14.159
<v Speaker 1>like some meditative trance. He looked asleep and he sat up,

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 1>because at this time in my life I was a

0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 1>single mom. He sat up and he looked at me,

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, Angela, get that baby out of your

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 1>bed if you ever want a man in there. I

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>was like, what, You're alive and you're talking, And I

0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:36.879
<v Speaker 1>was like, all right, James, I guess, okay, huh what

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:41.119
<v Speaker 1>what so James James being there? Now? What? Um? When

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 1>did you find out Steve was leaving? And how did

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 1>you feel did you feel the show could keep going?

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can't remember the exact moment. I kind

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.679
<v Speaker 1>of feel like I was with everybody somewhere, maybe they

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>announced it at a table read. I know there were

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 1>some people who were privy before some of the rest

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of us, but I kind of like Steve talked to

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:01.880
<v Speaker 1>us on that one day and gave us the heads

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>up before the announcement because he's just a class act

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 1>like that. And I just remember thinking, well, God, I

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>felt like we had such a deep bench. You know, Bryan,

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that's a basketball term. I don't know if you know

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>basketball well. In a basketball game, you have your starters,

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 1>but you want a really solid second string, right, So

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you want a deep bench they call it because in

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 1>basketball you all sit on a bench. Now, I felt like,

0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 1>you're welcome, Bryan. Thank you for explaining that to me. Brian,

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 1>who should, by the way, you have a spin off

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:32.840
<v Speaker 1>where he just has famous athletes coming here and talk

0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:35.639
<v Speaker 1>to him because the guy knows everybody. I'll never this

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is like me getting off topic. But we were at

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>like a fancy kind of restaurant bar place, and Brian

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:46.479
<v Speaker 1>was like, my friend's going to meet us here, Aaron,

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, okay, great, I meet Aaron. I'm like, Aaron,

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.400
<v Speaker 1>what do you do? How are things? He's like, good,

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm I play football. I was like, oh, that's fun,

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.119
<v Speaker 1>Like what team are you playing on? He's like, I

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 1>played for Green Bay and I was like that is

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:04.959
<v Speaker 1>so cool. Well good for you. And then I tell

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>my boyfriend. I'm like, so I met this guy Aaron.

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.159
<v Speaker 1>He's a quarterback for like, I don't know, something with

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.399
<v Speaker 1>a bay, like a Seattle maybe, And he's like, what

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>did you meet aarn Rogers? Anyway, I digress. Brian needs

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to have also famous athletes show, so make that happen.

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I just remember thinking we had a deep bench,

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and I thought that I was really hopeful that we

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:28.399
<v Speaker 1>could continue. I was scared, and I was sad. I

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 1>was sad, and I was scared because I felt like

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Steve was such our anchor, but I never doubted what

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us could do. And I was also excited.

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of a complex range of emotions because

0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I was excited to see how it would blow out

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:46.959
<v Speaker 1>the world and what other sort of cool things might

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 1>come from it, and the ways we might see other

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 1>characters take on new responsibility. Absolutely, I feel like it

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:56.880
<v Speaker 1>was more emotional for me when he left than when

0:24:57.000 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the end of the show happened. I don't know why. Well,

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 1>he was like our you know, sort of the father

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>figure of our show, and it was really hard to

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 1>imagine walking on set without him. I actually went back

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:14.400
<v Speaker 1>and I found an email that I wrote him, um,

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a few days into our first episode back without him,

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, dear Steve, like in the email, like,

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 1>it was really weird to walk on set today and

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 1>not see you. I miss our talks about our weekend

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>because he would walk over and talk to us about

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:29.439
<v Speaker 1>his weekend, to Jenna and I about what he got

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 1>at Target, you know, And I was like, I just

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>really miss you. And I sent him a picture and

0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:38.359
<v Speaker 1>and we email like that from time to time. Um.

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I just remember really missing him his presence.

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:47.639
<v Speaker 1>He's also just brilliant. He's brilliant. We all got the

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:52.960
<v Speaker 1>best ever comedy like on site training from just being

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>in scenes with him and watching him, because not only

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>can he just make a character just be hilarious, but

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:00.880
<v Speaker 1>then in a second he and flip it and rip

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>your heart out. Mm hmm. For the finale, our finale,

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the finale of the show, how are you leading into that?

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>The end? I was emotional. I was emotional. I I

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:18.920
<v Speaker 1>had heard that Greg really wanted Steve to make a

0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 1>cameo in the finale, and Steve was like, well, I

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:24.440
<v Speaker 1>just feel like my characters wrapped up, Like why would

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Michael come back? And Greg was like, is there a

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:32.399
<v Speaker 1>scenario where Michael would come back to dunder Mifflin And

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Steve said, well, if Dwight and Nangela got married, Michael

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>would come to their wedding. But they Greg really really

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:41.960
<v Speaker 1>really didn't want the press to find out, and things

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>have a way of leaking. There's a lot of people

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 1>that coming come like back and forth on a set,

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and he really wanted it locked up just for the fans.

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:54.880
<v Speaker 1>He wanted that surprise. We've talked about this before. Um,

0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>but what do you think about the idea of a

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:03.680
<v Speaker 1>reunion show? Well, obviously, you don't ever want to mess

0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:06.880
<v Speaker 1>with what is such a beautiful thing, right, Those seasons

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>are beautiful and they mean a lot to people, and

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 1>you you would never want to open them back up

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and not do them justice. Um. But when I think

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of like a reunion movie, like one one moment, one

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 1>glimpse to see where these people are, I think part

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:24.199
<v Speaker 1>of the reason why I love the idea is because

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I miss these characters. Not only do I miss my

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:29.679
<v Speaker 1>friends and to be in one room with all of them,

0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Like the the brunch that Greg hosted at his house

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.719
<v Speaker 1>and a bunch of us were able to attend. Phillis

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 1>walked in the door, and when I saw her, I

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>burst into tears. I hadn't been in the same room

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 1>with Phillis in a long time, just because of life.

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 1>We stay in touch, you know, but it's different getting

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to all sit around a table together. And so I

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of get emotional when I think about it, because

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:57.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, life is short, and I just think I'd

0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 1>love to know where these characters are, and I'd love

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:03.400
<v Speaker 1>to sit around a table with those people I love. Again,

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>why do you think the show has become more popular

0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>now than it was when it air? What is it?

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.120
<v Speaker 1>What is it that that attracts people to it? Well, Brian,

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:16.200
<v Speaker 1>we can ask this a lot, right, I Mean, we

0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 1>both sort of have our things, our theories on it,

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 1>but um, you know, undeniably, it's the way that we

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>consume media. The fact that it can just be on

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:29.680
<v Speaker 1>anytime you want. You don't have to wait for Thursday

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>night at eight o'clock. It's always there, It's always available.

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:36.680
<v Speaker 1>But I also think on the other layer, is it

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is comfort. It is comfort. You turn it on and

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you know where everyone's going to be, you know where

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Pam is that reception, you know, accounting, Those people become

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like your extend family and you're just sort of checking

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 1>in with them. And I have people tell me all

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the time, as I know you do as well. Let's

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 1>say that they put it on at the end of

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>a long day or a bad day, or maybe something

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 1>they're anxious about. They put it on in it it's

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>just comfort. Yeah, what are you the most proud of?

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's legacy. I'm so proud of the show.

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 1>And I'm so proud that it keeps finding an audience

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 1>because we all thought it had the staying power, but

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to see that affirmed in millions of people that still

0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:22.520
<v Speaker 1>watch it, I'm really proud of that we made something

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:28.720
<v Speaker 1>that will last. Right. It's crazy to me the attachment

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that eleven, twelve year old, thirteen year old you know,

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 1>high school kids have to that show. Now, what is it?

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Is it? The characters, the relationships. It's also funny. It's

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 1>also really really freaking funny. Like I was watching it

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and like I'm like, it's funny, and there's stuff out

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 1>there that I ain't so funny. And it's funny. I mean,

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, my daughter is eleven and she had never

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 1>seen the show. She grew up on the set she

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 1>was born. Season five was there every day. I mean,

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I had a little kind of baby nursery

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:10.080
<v Speaker 1>trailer next right there. But um, you know, it's interesting.

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 1>She came back to school this year, she's in fifth grade,

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and she said, Mom, everyone in my class watched The

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Office over the summer. Everyone I see a kid with

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:21.440
<v Speaker 1>a dunder Mifflin shirt. These are kids I've known since

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 1>kindergarten and now they're like seeing me and they're like,

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what are you talking about. You've been over

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.160
<v Speaker 1>my house so many times. I make you snacks. But

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 1>she was like, can I watch it now? I was like, okay, alright, fine,

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I think there's some content that might not be appropriate,

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>but well, muscle through it together. But um, and she's

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 1>into it. And my my stepsons are into it. They're

0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 1>eleven and nine. They love it. My son Jack, who's eleven,

0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 1>loves it so much that he's now he's watching it

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and now he listens to the podcast. He'll listen to

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 1>this one too, so like he's he loves itable. It's unbelievable,

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and they I feel like they kind of see me

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>in a different way now, Like my own kids are like, oh, wow,

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you did that. I'm like, yes, what do you guys

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>think I do when I leave here? Did something? Mom?

0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:07.880
<v Speaker 1>You did something other than give me some goldfish and

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>some pretzels? Um? All right, So you're doing a podcast now,

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:16.680
<v Speaker 1>office Ladies? Tell me about it? Um? Yes, Brian, I

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 1>am doing a podcast called Office Ladies. It is with

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 1>my bff, Jenna Fisher. You know, she and I became

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 1>best friends on set and I talked. We talked every

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:29.240
<v Speaker 1>single day and we have for years. I mean Rain

0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 1>used to say he would turn to us and say,

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 1>what more could you have to say to each other?

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 1>But she's just my best friend. I feel like I

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 1>don't even know how to like really relate to life

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 1>until I bounce it off of her. And my husband

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.760
<v Speaker 1>is not a big talker, so he's like, I'm like, oh,

0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I probably should you know, talk to jenn about it.

0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 1>He's like, yes, do please because he thinks I yeah.

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 1>He's like, filter it through and then he goes I

0:31:56.040 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 1>get the condensed version where you're like more rational, you've

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 1>bounced it through your BFF filter. Um. But Jenna and

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I were trying to like think about, well, what can

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:08.960
<v Speaker 1>we do together? And one of the big things for

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>us is that we wanted to work in l A. Well,

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 1>it's really hard to get an acting job in Los

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Angeles these days, folks. Most of them are filmed in Vancouver, Atlanta.

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:21.520
<v Speaker 1>And we didn't want to be away from our families.

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 1>And I love being the architect in my own time,

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and I've never really been able to do that. And

0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>we get to hang out and talk about one of

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>our favorite chapter of our life. So it's just a rewatch,

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's our love for the show. It's just

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 1>it's just a little bit of everything awesome. Um. All right,

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Can you do one last thing for me, just so

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 1>we can identify you? Um for people listening, can you

0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:49.600

<v Speaker 1>I say Angela Martin? Shrut? I don't think so, do

0:32:57.480 --> 0:32:59.920

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to her about it, complain away. I will not take

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:10.239
<v Speaker 1>any blame for Angela. It's a policy I have. It's

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 1>strictly enforced. So blame her. Have a great week, everybody.

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:16.880

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.200

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Roy and you and Leslie, David Baker, you know, not

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Stanley Stanley. But it's weird to say you and right, right, right,

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:22.399
<v Speaker 1>because you are not Kevin right, Whereas it's funny you're

0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:25.960
<v Speaker 1>exactly like your character in the show. So that's the

0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:28.600
<v Speaker 1>thing that Bryan loves to do that you guys love

0:35:28.760 --> 0:35:29.120
