Look 55 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: the videos I'm sure are out there have gone viral. 56 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: I've seen it myself. He's he shaves his head, He's 57 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: got on a perfect suit. He just nailed it with 58 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: the chili pot. It was unbelievable. And so I will 59 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: tell you. I was meeting people at a part of 60 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: the convention hall and I saw that they were doing 61 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: the costume contest, and I looked up to this huge 62 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: video board and I saw that they announced him and 63 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: that he got a big applause. I guess they were 64 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: doing it by applause, and I went, you know what, 65 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: this guy needs my support. So I made my way 66 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: through the mevention center up onto the stage and stood 67 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: behind him to give him a little support and to 68 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: let everyone know who I thought should win the contest. 69 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: He did, in fact, when we were a little bit 70 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: concerned because he did shave the top of his head 71 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: that his parents had like, I don't I don't know 72 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: what first prize was. I don't know if it would 73 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: have been worth shaving your kid's head. We were concerned. 74 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: The father assured me and everyone involved that this was 75 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: his idea. He wanted to do it, and he was like, Dad, 76 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, and uh, 77 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: and asked his father to to shave his head. So 78 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: congratulations to you, my fine, very attractive young friend. I 79 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: see big things for you in the future. Riley Gracer asked, 80 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: will you do DUNDERCN again? There are discussions for a 81 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: dunder con happen. Ine, Look, if if they build it, 82 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: I will come. If you guys promised that you'll be there, 83 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: and if there's an event that's anything like what happened 84 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: in New Jersey, A few weeks ago, I'm in. I 85 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: had just so much fun connecting, hearing stories from all 86 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: of you about what the office means to you, and 87 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: there was just so much joy. I think we've got 88 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: a few things that have got to be worked out. 89 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: I think the lines. People waited way too long in 90 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: lines to talk to me. I think we've got to 91 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: work that out. I know we had a panel discussion there, 92 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: so many people mentioned that it was their favorite thing 93 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: in the event, all of us up on stage answering questions. 94 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: I think that should be longer. Uh, maybe the time 95 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: just needs to be longer. We need more time to 96 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: to be able to meet people and to do fun 97 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: things like the panels and be able to ask questions. 98 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: On Saturday, the convention was over at six o'clock and 99 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: I was I was still there meeting people at eight 100 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: fifteen at night, so you know, it was a long, 101 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: long day. But I was not going to leave until 102 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: until everyone who wanted to say hi, I had the 103 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to say hi. So yes, I would do it again. 104 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: I hope that we ironed some things out for the 105 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: next time, but it was it really was so much fun. 106 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: And again Creed's concert was well, in the words of 107 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: Kevin awesome alright. A lot of you asked questions about 108 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: Off the Beat, both producing, talking to new people, everything 109 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: that goes on behind the scenes of the podcast. I 110 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: wanted to take a few minutes and talk about what 111 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: we do here on a weekly basis. The Garrett Web asked, 112 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: how do you choose who you're going to interview? You know, Garrett, 113 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: that is a great question. There's so many people that 114 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 1: I have met, had the opportunity the pleasure of meeting 115 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: or working with briefly in the industry, And as I 116 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: told Wendy Malick on the podcast, my truly my idea 117 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: of doing this was about her, because you know, I 118 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: had worked with her a couple of times. I admired 119 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: her work. I thought her career was so interesting. Three shows, 120 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: kind of groundbreaking shows, all of which that ran six 121 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: seven seasons. So that was sort of my model. Like, Okay, 122 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: so Wendy I've worked with a few times. I want 123 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: to talk to her because I find her interesting. And 124 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: then there are obviously people that I've worked with a 125 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: lot that I wanted to talk to get to know 126 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: a little more. Rob Riggle, Eric stone Street et cetera. 127 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: And then there are people whose careers they just interest me, 128 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: or I hear something about a story about their story 129 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: that I want to dive into a little bit deeper. 130 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: This podcast, for me, really is about finding those moments 131 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: in a person's life that helped shape them to who 132 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: they are. So it's way less about where they have 133 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: been delivered, But it really, for me, is about the 134 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: journey and if we can find clues or find answers 135 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: to why a person's career went in a different direction, 136 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: how it skyrocketed from one potentially tiny moment, those off 137 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: the beat moments, That's really what I'm interested in, and 138 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: so we I have friends, some people have asked to 139 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: be on the podcast. I have asked, and we try 140 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: to find people from a variety of different shows. If 141 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: a show is coming back, or someone who you might 142 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: know from something else is starting a new show, that's 143 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: somebody that I want to talk to about maybe why 144 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: they've made the decision to start a new show. But 145 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: what I'm finding is is that everyone is interesting. I 146 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: know that's like so cliche, but I mean the variety 147 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: of conversations that I've been able to have with people 148 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: about their career and everybody's career is so different. I'm 149 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: loving doing this. I hope that you're enjoying listening just 150 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: a fraction as much as I'm enjoying having these conversations. 151 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: Emily Walker asked what the most surprising moments so far 152 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: on Off the Beat? Well, I I have a few 153 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: that I've been asked about that I always said, but 154 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to go to my team here 155 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: and and have you hear from from them some of 156 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: their favorite moments that happens, so you know, for me, 157 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: I always go to Rob Wriggle, and I knew that 158 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: Rob Riggle was a marine, and I knew that Rob 159 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: Wriggle was a comedian and actor and entertainer, and I 160 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: guess I just had always assumed he was in the 161 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: marines for a few years college ish age and then 162 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: he moved on. But hearing his story of continuing to 163 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: be a marine for twenty three years, from working as 164 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: a marine during the day and going to comedy clubs 165 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: and classes at night because he wanted to pursue comedy 166 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: so bad in New York City, I just I loved 167 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: knowing that and Rob. I know Rob through work and 168 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: through golf. I've spent more time with him than probably 169 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: anybody else that I've talked to on Off the Beat, 170 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: and I didn't know this story, and I think it's 171 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: so inspiring, so interesting. It makes me love him even more. 172 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: And the commitment and the work that he put in 173 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: to be where he is today, I just I just 174 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: loved it so me. That's very clearly one of my 175 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: favorite moments, but many here on Off the Beat brought 176 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: up many more that I endorsed wholeheartedly. Diego talked about 177 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: Kevin Ram's episode and one of the moments that made 178 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: him laugh the most. It was Kevin and I worked 179 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: together just Moosecock. That's all you do. It's so legendary. 180 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: It just needs one word, Moosecock. We worked on Moosecock together, 181 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: and he had learned that I had done the pilot 182 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: of the Office, and he told me how badly he 183 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: felt for me that I had gotten on that show 184 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: that was that was assured to go down in flames 185 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: and be an absolute disaster and tarnish my name forever 186 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: and ever a poor fool, he described me a so 187 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: hearing that from Kevin after knowing him for so many years, 188 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: that that was his first introduction to me was that 189 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: was was amazing. I have to mention the story I 190 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: don't think I fully told. I told Trammel Tillman this 191 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: a little bit. Trammel Tillman obviously from Severance. I was 192 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: thirty five thousand feet in the air when I watched 193 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: the final episode that I had downloaded of Severance, and 194 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: I just picked up my phone immediately when it ended 195 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: and started emailing our team here saying I want these 196 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: guys on the show, and specifically I want Trammel Tillman 197 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: on the show because I felt like what he was doing, 198 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: the work that he was doing there was so transformative 199 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: and so different than anything I had seen done in 200 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: television before. If you haven't watched Severance, you must know 201 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: by now I'm a big fan. Check it out. Many 202 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: similarities to the Office. So our executive producer Langley talked 203 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: about having Trammel Tillman on the show and how much 204 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: that meant to me and uh and how special that 205 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: was as someone really unknown but being on a show 206 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: that moved me, that made me feel so passionate, A 207 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: really fun conversation with Trammel Liz. Liz talked about Trammell 208 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: and his re enacting bad boys and getting hit by 209 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: a car when he was a kid. This, by the way, 210 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: this is not something that you should do. You should 211 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: not attempt to to to act out a scene from 212 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: a movie that's been very well choreographed. I will tell 213 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: you this story. This is not my story to tell, 214 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: and I didn't tell it originally when I was talking 215 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: to Trammel, but um, this happened to Steve Carrell on 216 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: forty year old Virgin. He has to have told this 217 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: story before. I hope he's told this story before. There 218 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: was a scene and obviously we were shooting the office 219 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: when forty year old Virgin came out and there was 220 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: a scene where his character and he gets motivated two 221 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: ask Katherine Keener. I can't remember her character's name. And 222 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: he's going across the street to the eBay store, and 223 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: they have the cars choreographed so that they narrowly miss him, 224 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: and he's just committed, focused and walking across the street. 225 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: This would be like what Trammel would have acted out 226 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: when he was a kid. And Steve told us the 227 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: story that he was walking across during a take and 228 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: a car got really close to him and he felt 229 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: it he didn't look or flinch. He did what he 230 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: was supposed to do and walked across the street and 231 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: they called cut, and he went back to the monitor, 232 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, where everybody was hanging out to like everything 233 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: was fine, and he said everyone was action. Everyone was 234 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: like like didn't know what to do or say, and 235 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: he's like, what's going on? What happened? And apparently a 236 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: car had gotten through security, like had broken their way 237 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: through where they had stopped the cars. And as he 238 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: was walking across the street, the car that got the 239 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: closest to him was not a car driven by a 240 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: professional driver that had been choreographed, but a car that 241 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: literally almost hit him because it was not supposed to 242 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: be there, much like well me knocking over our camera 243 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: guy in stress relief when the fake fire drill happened. 244 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes the happy accidents stay in. Apparently that cut, because 245 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: it looked so real, is in the movie fourty year 246 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: old version. So I hope Steve has told that story. 247 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to take his story or get anyone 248 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: in trouble, but yes, Steve was almost hit while filming 249 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: forty year old version. And and again traumel, don't don't 250 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: try to act that out. A lot of people talked 251 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: about Eric stone Street. Liz Hayes was delighted by him 252 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: talking about his dreams of being in the circus. But 253 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Zachary talked about Eric's reaction to hearing how Angela 254 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: and I felt when he won the Emmy. Um a 255 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: really special moment for me as well, and it brought 256 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: me back and I think Eric back to that moment 257 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: of winning for him as an actor who did guest 258 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: spots on shows, tried to get on shows here and there, 259 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: you know, after so many years, having a place to 260 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: go every day as an actor, having a place to 261 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: show up too, and how much that meant to him. 262 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: You know it it rings true for me as well, 263 00:17:52,680 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: having a place to go, that dingy office of dunder Mifflin, Um, 264 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: that reliability, that yeah, that home and how much just 265 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: the physical space meant to him. Reminded me of how 266 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: much it meant to me. And uh, finally, Hannah also 267 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: can't can't not mention my conversation finally with Catherine Tate 268 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: Nellie Bertram on the office and her because that she 269 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: got kicked out of convent school when she was a child, 270 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: multiple schools, because really what she wanted to be was 271 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: an actor. Well I never got kicked out of school, 272 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: but I let's just say I easily could have and 273 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't.

I did not know Jenna Elfman 292 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: at all. I thought that she was an interesting story 293 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: because of her long career in comedy and rom com movies, 294 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: and that her becoming a part of the Walking Dead 295 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: series was interesting to me, and and so I wanted 296 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: to dive in a little bit more about her story 297 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: and where she is today. I don't know that I 298 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: get nervous, but I definitely put in extra research. I mean, 299 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: I have an amazing group of people who are working 300 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: with me on off the beat. Most of the time. 301 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: They're doing all of the research and finding tidbits of 302 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: information that now that they know me and know what 303 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: interests me, that they're they're diving in to an article 304 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: written in nineteen sixty two that will give some tidbit 305 00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: of information that that I will use. But I also 306 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: go in as well before every conversation and look at 307 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: all of the material that's assembled and decides sort of 308 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: a central focus that I want to have a central 309 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: through line, if you will, for how I want that 310 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: conversation to go and what I want to talk about 311 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: at least with that person. And then whoever I'm talking to. 312 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: Whichever way it goes, it goes. So sometimes the best 313 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: laid plans, right, I just want to make sure that 314 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: I'm as prepared as I can be and have the knowledge. 315 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 1: Try to watch a few episodes if it's if it's 316 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: a show I'm not familiar with, to be able to 317 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: have a substantive conversation about that person's work and about what, 318 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: at least the interwebs tell me interests them. But no, 319 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't get nervous. But I think because we do 320 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: put in so much time and effort to be prepared. 321 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: That's why it's been really fun for me to talk 322 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: to people that I don't know, in addition to the 323 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: people I do, obviously, but to talk to the people 324 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: that I don't know, or the people that I know 325 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: a little bit or that I know a little socially 326 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: but I've never really seen them work, that's actually really 327 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: really fun for me. Eric Venables asked, did you take 328 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: journalism classes? You are a fantastic interviewer. First of all, 329 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: you're amazing and the smartest person that I've read from today. 330 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the compliment. I did not 331 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: take journalism classes, and in fact, I will tell you 332 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: that when I started this podcasting journey on an Oral 333 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: History to the Office, we went to Scranton and it 334 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: was the first time that I had been in Scranton 335 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: in I believe seven years. It had been seven years 336 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: since I went back, and it was very cold. It 337 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: was January February of right before the pandemic, and we 338 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: decide we're gonna get up and we're gonna before anything 339 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: else happens that day, we're just gonna walk around the 340 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: main square and hear from me and my feelings about 341 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: being back in Scranton. I had the hardest time doing this. 342 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: Had I had the most difficult time. If there was 343 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: a record of number of takes of shooting a scene 344 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: in a television show, I might have exceeded that this day. 345 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was like I needed to get 346 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: it right. Part of my monologue was like, I'm not 347 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: a journalist. I don't know why I'm here, Like I'm 348 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: pretending to be a journalist. I guess, like, but I 349 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: don't want to pretend. I want to tell the story anyway. 350 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: It was really difficult for me, and since then, and 351 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: as we just discussed now, talking to so many different 352 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: people and doing the research, trying to get in two 353 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: people's experience and and really want to hear from them. 354 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: I guess I'm doing a little bit more journalism work 355 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 1: now than I ever thought that I would, So I 356 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: guess what I'm saying is it's been a journey for me, 357 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: and I think initially I felt very self conscious. I 358 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: felt very secure in the story that we were telling 359 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: and the question that I had, which was why is 360 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: the office so wildly popular? More popular now than it 361 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: was when it was on? I was very secure in that, 362 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: but referring to myself as a journalist, I was exceedingly 363 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: uncomfortable with that. And I guess where I'm at now 364 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: is I have the tremendous support of an incredible crew 365 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: who makes it easy for me to ask questions that 366 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: interest me. So if you asked me to interview someone 367 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: about something that I didn't know anything about and wasn't 368 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: that interested in, I probably wouldn't know where to start 369 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: because I don't have those journalism classes or credentials. But 370 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: doing this, I love this, and I very much appreciate 371 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: the compliment. Paul g in the O c asks what's 372 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: on your bucket list? Well, listen. Over the last couple 373 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: of years, I have been so lucky. I mean, my 374 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: bucket list was being a New York Times bestselling author, 375 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: and we we did that. So that's that was That 376 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: was one on the bucket list that's crossed off. I 377 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: think that you know, I'm gonna combine this with another 378 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: question the Kyle twenty two asks will we see Brian 379 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: in a dramatic role showing off his acting chops. I 380 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: don't know about acting chops, but I would say that's 381 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: my bucket list and that's what I would like to do. 382 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: As many of you know, I started in the theater 383 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: and really not in comedy. Comedy was not my focus. 384 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: I did comedic roles, but for me, the roles that 385 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: I would consistently get were very dark, very bad, very dramatic, 386 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: and for me, it was about trying to find a 387 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: shred of humanity in characters that on the surface had 388 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: no humanity, and so trying to find the complexity what 389 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: make people tick again even if their actions are very bad. 390 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: That was always something that was very interesting to me. 391 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: So I'd say, in terms of work, that's my bucket 392 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: list right there. Finding a role where I can play 393 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: something very, very different than any of you have ever 394 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: seen me play before. That's my bucket list and the 395 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: Kyle twenty two. I hope so because that's what I 396 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: want to do. Japan Asian says, what's something you said 397 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: yes to that your ten year old self wouldn't believe? 398 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: M hmm. There's there's a lot that my ten year 399 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: old self wouldn't believe. I think that my experience in 400 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: golf now would impress and would leave my ten year 401 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: old self um in disbelief. The people, the athletes, celebrities 402 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: that I've had the opportunity to play golf with and 403 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: now have become friends. I said yes and continue at 404 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, specifically to say 405 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: yes to that invitation. It's been fifteen years of me 406 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: being there. It's the hardest thing that I do every year, 407 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: very difficult putting myself out there in that way. But 408 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: the experiences that I have had there and other places, 409 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: well some of my favorite experiences, and I think would 410 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: would leave my ten year old self speechless. And a 411 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: few questions now about chili. Andrew Montavan rites, how often 412 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: do you make chili? Is it something Brian not just 413 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: Kevin is known for, Uh, yes, I make chili. And 414 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to follow that up with another question as well, 415 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: Amanda Wade XO, did you ever think you'd write too books? 416 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: I do have a new book coming out, Seriously Good 417 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: Chili Cookbook.

And and as 421 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: I've been sort of reconstructing my chili journey, I think 422 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: the first time I made chili was like for the 423 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: Graham for the Instagram. I think I thought, oh, I'll 424 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: make some chili. That'll be fun, and oh and I'll 425 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: post a photo that would be fun. And I did 426 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: that and people seem to respond, and I thought, well, 427 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: that's fun. I cook it often with my family or 428 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: with other friends. I find it a communal experience.

Terrelli asks how did 496 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: you become a big u G A fan University of 497 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 1: Georgia and what are you most looking forward to this season? 498 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm from Atlanta, so I went to s m U. 499 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: Hail to the Red and the Blue, the Mustangs of 500 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: s m U, so obviously a big fan, love their resurgence. 501 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 1: But yeah, this is about my childhood, like my child 502 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: old childhood, like my younghood. As a six seven, ten 503 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 1: twelve fourteen year old, would go to Athens with friends 504 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: a lot of weekends and uh watch the Dogs between 505 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: the hedges. So I've always been a University of Georgia 506 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 1: football fan. Love Athens. I think it's the greatest place 507 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: in the country to watch college football. I know those 508 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: in Knoxville and Tuscaloosa, etcetera. It's college station will disagree 509 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: with me, but I love Athens and the Bulldogs and 510 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: UM have been generously offered by their athletic director to 511 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: come to a game here. Hopefully this year, I'm gonna 512 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 1: make it back between the hedges down there in Athens. 513 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: But that's how I became a big u g A fan. 514 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: And I think, well, they won last year, and everybody's 515 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 1: putting Alabama at the top of the list. I think 516 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: the Dogs are going to be very, very good, and 517 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what happens this year. By the way, 518 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: not as hard as schedule as they had last year, 519 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: so we'll see how it goes. Sarah No asks what 520 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: team in the NFL do you not like at all? 521 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: Minus the NFC North teams? Saints fan, by the way, um, 522 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: who do I not like? He's referring to the NFC 523 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: North because as a Packers fan, he assumes I'm going 524 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: to say the Bears and the Vikings and the Lions, 525 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: which is fair. Um, I don't like the Seahawks. If 526 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 1: you know football, you can probably figure that one out. 527 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: And I don't like the forty Niners. And I don't 528 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: really think I need to explain it any further than that, 529 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: And I'm not bitter or angry. I'm a very happy guy. 530 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: The forty Niners just me and the Seahawks. Ah Now, 531 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,959 Speaker 1: you've got you put me in a bad mood. See 532 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: Hawks in the fort Although the Seahawks will be great 533 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 1: this year, won't they? Uh? Now I feel better. Adam 534 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: Gilbertson asked, how do you think the Packers will look 535 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: this coming season? Do you see a three peet for twelve, 536 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 1: meaning a three pet of the m v P Award. 537 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. Here's what I think. I think they're 538 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: gonna be damn good. And here's really why. There's been 539 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: a lot of conversation about their wide receivers losing Davante Adams. Obviously, 540 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,399 Speaker 1: that's a lot of catches that other people are gonna 541 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 1: have to make up for. I think their defense is 542 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: gonna be damn good. I think it's gonna be damn good. 543 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: And look, let's be real honest. We were needing the 544 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: Packers to score forty five points there for a few 545 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: years to have a chance to win a game against 546 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: a good team. I don't think they're gonna have to 547 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: do that this year. So I think it's gonna be 548 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 1: a little bit of a different I foresee a little 549 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: bit of a different style. I think they're going to 550 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: keep people from scoring, and uh, I trust in twelve. Oh, 551 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: I need to put that on a T shirt? Do 552 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: you think that would sell? I trust in twelve to 553 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: score enough points to beat teams with a great defense. 554 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: So that's how I think seventeen and oh no, maybe 555 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: not that, but they're gonna be good. Trek geek Bill 556 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: says Brian. What do you think of the Patriots this season? 557 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: With Mac in year two? Will they win the a 558 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: f C East. Well, look not to try to publicize 559 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: the podcast that I'm already doing. Julian Edelman, who we 560 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: just spoke to last week on the podcast, we talked 561 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: quite a bit about the Patriots. I am confused. I 562 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: didn't say this quite this strongly to Julian, but I'm 563 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: confused with the offensive coordinator situation there. It doesn't make 564 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: a whole lot of sense to me with a second 565 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: year her back. I did hear some discussion over the 566 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: last week since I spoke with Julian about Belichick attempting 567 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: too to make the offense simpler, that the offense had 568 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: got very complicated under Brady for so after so many years, 569 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: and the guys like Julian and others who were familiar 570 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: with the system. It worked, but it was very difficult 571 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: for new players to learn a complicated system, and so Belichick, 572 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: with Mac in year two, wanted to simplify things. I 573 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 1: still think you need an offensive coordinator that's solely focused 574 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: on calling plays and scheming for a team. And Josh 575 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: McDaniels knew how to call plays and scheme. And I 576 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: know Belichick is a genius, but you can't deny what 577 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels did there. And I think that loss is significant, 578 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: So no, they don't win the a f C East 579 00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:02,720 Speaker 1: Strato Shove says, name three NBA players that are huge 580 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: office fans. Well, I'm a fan of the Lakers, so 581 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 1: I've spent much more time around the Lakers than well 582 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: then mostly anywhere else. Alex Caruso, who I just played 583 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,720 Speaker 1: golf with in Tahoe. He's a big fan of the office. 584 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: So there's one. I think. I was very, very proud 585 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: of the fact, as a huge Kobe Bryant fan, that 586 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant was a big fan of the office. It 587 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: always made me very happy when I had the opportunity 588 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: to go to games and to interact very briefly with him. 589 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: I loved that he was a big fan of the 590 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: office and the third. I mean, there's so many. I'm 591 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: trying to think which which direction that I go. Ray Allen, 592 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: who also plays in Tahoe always great I talked to 593 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: on the podcast, asked Vince Carter, who I've known a 594 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: long time fans of the Office. Look, that's the thing 595 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: that's so cool for me is playing golf with these 596 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: celebrities that so many that I'm a fan of our 597 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: fans of the Office as well, and it's just it's 598 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: incredible to me. Again, ten year old self would be 599 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 1: speechless for sure. Now before we wrap up this episode, 600 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna dive just a little deeper. That's what she said. 601 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: Into some office questions you had, I gotta say you 602 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: asked some great ones, some that I had never heard before. 603 00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: Bill Knee says, how did Kevin end up golfing in job? 604 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: Fair coincidence or did the writers know your skill? The 605 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: writers knew my skill and they knew that I loved 606 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: to golf. In fact, that really the only person on 607 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: the office who golfs. So yeah, I guess that one 608 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: was in part written for me. There were the happy 609 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: accidents like the basketball episode where that sort of happened 610 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: while we were shooting. They were not aware that I 611 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: could I could shoot the rock. They found out soon enough. 612 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 1: But yes, job fair, they knew I was a golfer. 613 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: Jah Zobi asks did you and the cast find yourself 614 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: saying that's what she said a lot after slash during 615 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: the show all the time, that's what she said. Why 616 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 1: at Gordon? What is the coolest thing about the office set? 617 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the coolest thing or not, 618 00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: but yesterday I was at Access Daily with Mario Lopez 619 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: and uh I did a little chili cooking coming soon 620 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 1: to a television set near you, and they had these 621 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: giant video screens with the office set on different screens, 622 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: so like around the studio, they had this and I'm 623 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 1: telling you this just happened yesterday. I was looking at 624 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: myself through the monitor as the camera is shooting me. 625 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: This is kind of complicated. Stay with me. The camera 626 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: is shooting me on this Access Daily set, but behind 627 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: me is this incredible video monitor with the set of 628 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:46,360 Speaker 1: the office on it, and through the lens me looking 629 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: at the monitor that the that the camera was shooting, 630 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: it looked like I was standing on the set and 631 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: I could not I couldn't. I couldn't get over it. 632 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: I was like, this is so good. This looks like 633 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm standing there back in the offices of dunder Mifflin. 634 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: And so I don't know if it's really the coolest 635 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 1: thing about the set, but just seeing myself standing there 636 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 1: what what appeared to be on the set gave me 637 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: the warm and fuzzies. It was very cool. So, um, 638 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 1: it's not exactly what you asked, I would say the 639 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 1: lived in factor, the fact that it was built to 640 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,359 Speaker 1: feel as though we had been there for years. That 641 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: was the most you know, Is that the coolest thing. 642 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,399 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that was the most unique thing 643 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: about that set. Nothing felt new, Everything felt old and 644 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: lived in and therefore comfortable. Just Nicko asks, is there 645 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: a moment from the office that randomly pops into your 646 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 1: head on a regular basis? Many moments do, and it 647 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 1: kind of goes in cycles where I won't think about 648 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: something for a while, and then I'll think I will 649 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: think about it all the time. Like seeing a cat, 650 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: for example, I see cats people. There are cats that 651 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: are around all the time, And just recently I saw 652 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 1: a cat and I thought, you can't eat cats, Kevin, 653 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: You can't eat cats? And now like, I'm just in 654 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: this little cycle right now where anytime I see a 655 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 1: cat it just makes me I laugh because I'm like, 656 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 1: you can't eat cats. Why would you ever eat a cat? 657 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, because they're so cute, I guess, but 658 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 1: uh yeah, so yes, things randomly pop into my head, 659 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 1: of course. Brittany Zapata says, what is your favorite Kevin 660 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 1: related Office fan theory? That he's a genius? That's my favorite, 661 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: that he's a genius. I'm not saying that that is 662 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: true or false, but that's my favorite. That people believe 663 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: that Kevin is is secretly a genius. Max Lions two 664 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 1: two four four asks is Kevin the father of Jan's baby? God? 665 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: I hope so? Wouldn't that be fun? Maybe there's a 666 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: reunion idea that Jan shows up with Asterrid and Astrid 667 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 1: looks like Kevin. She can call the boy from the 668 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: Office convention and find out how he put his costume together. 669 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: But if Astrid looked like Kevin genius, Oh my gosh, 670 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: that's a great idea, Shu. I might call Greg Daniels 671 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: about that one. Russell asked, did Kevin never want to 672 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,720 Speaker 1: hit on Angela? Since they sat so close all those years. 673 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: Never gross you, Russell, stay in your lane, my friend you. 674 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: Holly Ann a Villa asks you knew your character Kevin 675 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: so well. I'm curious what would he be up to 676 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: in two. I hope he's still back at that bar 677 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: and just enjoying life away from Angela. I hope that's 678 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: where he is. I hope they made it through the pandemic, 679 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, with flying Colors, and they're thriving. They're in Scranton, Pennsylvania. 680 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: G P c Wald tw o one rights. In your 681 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: unbiased opinion, which office character do you think should get 682 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,439 Speaker 1: us spin off? There are so many. I mean, as 683 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: we know now if you listen to the podcast, Dwight 684 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: almost had one or had one, it didn't ever go 685 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 1: to series. I think the accountants would be damn funny, Oscar, 686 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 1: Angela and Kevin. Unbiased Lee, I say that, Dwight, but 687 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, I mean any of the characters you could have, 688 00:47:55,440 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 1: Meredith Stanley and Florida, Michael Scott in Colorado, Jim and 689 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: Pam and Austin. I mean that you really could do anything, 690 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe something someday, something will happen, But 691 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, those are a few ideas. I'm sure 692 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 1: you all can come up with way better ideas than me. 693 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 1: Steve mct photog rights. If you could have The Office 694 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 1: be about another type of company, what would it be 695 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: and why? M hmm. Well, I think that the interesting 696 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 1: part of it was, at least in the original Ricky 697 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: Gervais was looking to try to find the most ordinary 698 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,760 Speaker 1: type of company in an industry that was dying, which 699 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:48,239 Speaker 1: gives some steaks, makes there be some steaks involved, some 700 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 1: steaks being not the kind you eat, but like there's 701 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: a danger that we could be shut down and that 702 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:59,240 Speaker 1: this could all stop. But I think ultimately the business 703 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter because it's really about the people and the 704 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 1: relationships of the people within that business. Somewhat crucially it's 705 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 1: a smaller company that's not a mega conglomerate. I think 706 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: that's crucial. But I don't think it really matters what 707 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: they're selling because it's not about that. It's about the people. 708 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 1: Snoopy Valentine, do you think anyone will try to reboot 709 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 1: the Office in like twenty years, well, Snoopy Valentine, I 710 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,359 Speaker 1: don't know, but I'll answer the same way that I'll 711 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: answer when anyone asked me this question. If Greg Daniels 712 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,800 Speaker 1: is involved, you can sign me up. You can sign 713 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 1: me up Magic Morgue rights. Will there be a live 714 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 1: office reunion? M M, I don't know. I don't know 715 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,439 Speaker 1: if we'll get the whole gang back together. I think 716 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 1: we will at some point for something. But will there 717 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: be a live office reunion? I think, well, why don't 718 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: you just stay tuned because maybe some info is coming. 719 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: Thank you all so much for such amazing questions.
