Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome to a very special be kind Rewind. We've
Speaker 1: surprised everyone in our be kind Rewind series as we
Speaker 1: usually bring back a cast member or a crew member
Speaker 1: to talk about one specific episode of Boy Meets World,
Speaker 1: someone making a return appearance. Yet this week we have
Speaker 1: two very talented guests from a totally different rewatch universe.
Speaker 1: It's a collaboration you definitely did not see coming. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the podcast, Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey of Alpice Lady.
Speaker 2: Hi, you're so excited.
Speaker 3: We are two.
Speaker 2: Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Word?
Speaker 2: It was just going to be us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, We're pretty sure it was going to be the
Speaker 4: whole time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my goodness.
Speaker 1: We are thrilled to have you here. So thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us. Did you guys have any backup names
Speaker 1: for the podcast before you came up with office ladies?
Speaker 5: Oh? Did you guys? Did you have backup?
Speaker 6: We called it like we had we We also had
Speaker 6: like boy meets Pod.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Stalt.
Speaker 4: Couch style couch.
Speaker 7: At one point we had saw where it was late night.
Speaker 6: It was like the two o'clock in the morning pitch
Speaker 6: where it's like, okay, that's obviously not a good one
Speaker 6: to go with but no, I think we just moved
Speaker 6: pod around until we hit.
Speaker 7: But I remember we said pod and we were like, wow,
Speaker 7: that's what There was no other option.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we call each other lady like when we're
Speaker 5: talking to be like, lady, we'll not believe what happened
Speaker 5: to lady. Yeah we do. And then we were like,
Speaker 5: well we are the office ladies. And then that stuck.
Speaker 5: We never had a backup.
Speaker 7: One of you guys launch was.
Speaker 3: It was October of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, see that's like we were talking about doing
Speaker 7: this back in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, and you guys
Speaker 7: really proved that the rewatch thing was a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you hear your flowers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because, as a writer mentioned, when we first started
Speaker 1: talking about doing this, there wasn't a rewatch podcast out yet,
Speaker 1: and no one knew what it was.
Speaker 2: We were like, how do you do you do it?
Speaker 2: Do you watch the episode?
Speaker 7: We were like, is it DVD commentary?
Speaker 5: Do we commentary?
Speaker 4: What's going on?
Speaker 7: I watched the show?
Speaker 5: We didn't know what to do.
Speaker 7: So and thank you you were.
Speaker 1: Meeting the way and showed everybody truly what is possible.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: And so the amount of times we said, if we
Speaker 1: can just do a fraction of what the office ladies do,
Speaker 1: we will have something there.
Speaker 2: So who for being pioneer trail blazers, it does.
Speaker 3: Mean a lot. And you know, I don't know if
Speaker 3: you've noticed, but now like current television shows have like
Speaker 3: companion podcasts, yeah, come out like in real time. Yep,
Speaker 3: that's sort of I think, like a new iteration of
Speaker 3: the rewatch.
Speaker 1: You're right, And if I may say, I think one
Speaker 1: of the reasons your podcast and now our podcasts work
Speaker 1: is because of the space and distance from the show.
Speaker 1: I think the companion piece, well, it is going to
Speaker 1: be its own, successful, wonderful thing.
Speaker 2: But one of the things.
Speaker 1: I love about what we do is that there is
Speaker 1: for us, especially we were children.
Speaker 7: Yeah, looking far back, like for.
Speaker 1: Us it's like watching home movies and reliving like what
Speaker 1: was going on in our personal lives, and it's that for.
Speaker 5: All of us you can separate from it.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 5: I think the companion podcast with TV shows is sort
Speaker 5: of taking the place of what DVD commentaries were. Feels
Speaker 5: a little bit like that.
Speaker 4: It's also another way.
Speaker 6: To screw the actors because now you sign the contract
Speaker 6: and it's also the podcast is part of the contract. Yes, right, Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's like, hey, what else can we get from yet?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 5: So kind of true, Yes, very true.
Speaker 4: It's tough.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you for saying that, because Jenna and I
Speaker 5: worked really hard at trying to figure out what our
Speaker 5: show was going to sound like. And I mean, how
Speaker 5: many times do we do our quote our unofficial pilot?
Speaker 3: So yeah, we actually started with Healthcare, which is not
Speaker 3: the first episode, but we were too afraid to start
Speaker 3: with the pilot, and we recorded Healthcare probably three three
Speaker 3: times because we just thought it was Cuddy the first
Speaker 3: couple of.
Speaker 5: Times, yes, and we just couldn't figure out really like, okay,
Speaker 5: what's our top of show, what does it look like?
Speaker 5: And it just took us a beat to find it,
Speaker 5: and then we found it.
Speaker 3: And we also just like figure out what were our roles,
Speaker 3: what were our jobs? Yes, and then we kind of
Speaker 3: figured out like who does what and what.
Speaker 5: Naturally just we both like to tackle. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, but I mean it is not We are not
Speaker 1: being hyperbolic when we say that all that work you
Speaker 1: guys put into it.
Speaker 7: We Maria plus, when Ryder and.
Speaker 6: I realized just put the bulk of the work on Danielle.
Speaker 3: Well, I've listened to your podcast as you guys do
Speaker 3: a great job.
Speaker 5: I think you were.
Speaker 3: Right to put Danielle in charge, and I'm putting her
Speaker 3: as in charge.
Speaker 2: Yes, she keeps us on structure.
Speaker 5: Yes. Also your scene by scene like retelling is so good.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Like you can follow the show, you really can,
Speaker 5: I can imagine it in your head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. I do really appreciate that.
Speaker 1: They are honestly, the chemistry the same thing that you
Speaker 1: guys have, the stuff that you can't you know, when
Speaker 1: you think about the three times you did the pilot
Speaker 1: or you did healthcare, it wasn't because your chemistry wasn't there.
Speaker 1: That's the part you can't fake. That's the part that
Speaker 1: is the real magic of it. And the rest of
Speaker 1: it's just kind of figuring out the nuts and bolts
Speaker 1: and that for us pretty once we figured.
Speaker 3: Well, had you guys all still been in touch?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I really came out together. We started and we
Speaker 7: were like, there's so many people that want to meet
Speaker 7: us and still talk about this show. Is how do
Speaker 7: we engage that audience?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What was a combination of doing the q and as
Speaker 1: and hearing the questions the audience would ask of us
Speaker 1: in a Q and A and then the face to
Speaker 1: face meet and greets where people would tell you how
Speaker 1: each episode impacted them or which character they felt the
Speaker 1: closest and most related to. And it was like one
Speaker 1: night then after dinner, you know, everyone at these conventions
Speaker 1: goes to dinner together, and we would sit around and
Speaker 1: have conversations and we think, how do we get this
Speaker 1: type of conversation to have the feeling at the Q
Speaker 1: and A like, how do we translate this to Q
Speaker 1: and A feeling? And how do we get their individual stories?
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what started it. What if we
Speaker 1: turned these conversations into a podcast, But you guys, seriously,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have known even what to do to do
Speaker 1: all without.
Speaker 4: You, yep, so thank you for doing that for us.
Speaker 5: I have to give a shout out to Jenna because
Speaker 5: Jenna's brain is so like able to see structure immediately,
Speaker 5: and really the whole top of our show, like the
Speaker 5: layout of it, was Jenna's idea. And then I sort
Speaker 5: of would just share, you know, the things that mean
Speaker 5: something to me, like when I watch an episode, or
Speaker 5: that things we clue into are very different, like I
Speaker 5: become obsessed with everyone's wardrobe, that all the plants that
Speaker 5: cycled through Front reception and who's where are these plants
Speaker 5: coming from? Pms not taking care of them? Yeah, and
Speaker 5: then and then jee because.
Speaker 4: Then when Dwight left during the salesman, the planets died.
Speaker 5: The plants died. Yeah, yeah, well also I think when
Speaker 5: Aaron took over Front reception, you saw a real dip. Yeah, sorry, sorry, Erin.
Speaker 5: But and then Jenna would be like, well, I want
Speaker 5: to learn all about the location and like that production
Speaker 5: side of it. And then we're both just curious people
Speaker 5: in different ways.
Speaker 3: And we're also still in touch with our crew, and
Speaker 3: our crew has been such a big part of Office Ladies.
Speaker 3: Every single one of our production managers they have we
Speaker 3: have three different guys who had that job throughout the
Speaker 3: course of the nine years. We're in touch with all
Speaker 3: three of them, and for all of their seasons. They
Speaker 3: would give us the behind the scenes tib. It's like
Speaker 3: they tell me, like, how much did it cost for
Speaker 3: Dwight to sing Ryan started the fire?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: A lot?
Speaker 3: I remember the time.
Speaker 5: I tell you it's always way more than you think.
Speaker 5: And then I would say, hey, can you tell me
Speaker 5: the cat actors that played you know, Bandit and Sprinkle.
Speaker 5: I would get a whole like resume with photos.
Speaker 3: Did you know that cats have cat actors? They have
Speaker 3: little headshots?
Speaker 5: Yes, not kidding, Yes, and that's really cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had to cast a bunch of dogs for an
Speaker 1: episode of Lopez Versus Lopez and we got full dog resumes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the dog resumes. I have to go through and
Speaker 2: look at the.
Speaker 4: How awesome a job would that?
Speaker 6: Period?
Speaker 5: Pivot?
Speaker 6: Just like sitting like, I don't think you've got a
Speaker 6: kid cat running away?
Speaker 2: Well, something that's worth getting out of the way.
Speaker 1: At the very beginning, neither of you had seen an
Speaker 1: episode of Boy Meets World before we decided to do
Speaker 1: this little mashup, right, this is true.
Speaker 5: Yes, this was not a full episode. I don't think when.
Speaker 3: You guys had this show on the air, I was
Speaker 3: not in your demo.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I knew.
Speaker 3: Of the show, and I knew of its popularity just
Speaker 3: in pop culture, but I had not seen it same.
Speaker 6: Okay, do you remember mentioning it on the office? You
Speaker 6: know you talk about Boys World on the Office.
Speaker 2: What Episodease explain this?
Speaker 6: We do you do so last season or second to
Speaker 6: last season. Dwight is now in charge of the office
Speaker 6: and he thinks that Jim and Pam can kind of
Speaker 6: read each other's minds. And he says, all right, so
Speaker 6: what are you thinking right now? And Pam says thinking
Speaker 6: about the opening title sequence to Save by the Bell?
Speaker 4: And you say, ooh, so close is the opening title sequence?
Speaker 4: A boy met world?
Speaker 7: Yes, you actually met?
Speaker 2: Our show exists in your universe?
Speaker 7: Do I remember watching it?
Speaker 4: Was a huge fan.
Speaker 6: I remember watching like, yeah, we got a shout out.
Speaker 5: Oh that's so great. Yeah, I mean I'm a I'm
Speaker 5: a smidge older than y'all. So have you seen it?
Speaker 1: Are familiar with IF? Because one of if not your
Speaker 1: first acting gig, was.
Speaker 2: On Step by Step? Is this correct?
Speaker 5: That's right?
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you remember from that?
Speaker 5: Guess? My goodness. So the lead gal is gonna her
Speaker 5: parents think she's going to Elope, but she's not. And
Speaker 5: they show up at this church and there is someone
Speaker 5: her size. I got cast just because I was her size,
Speaker 5: and I auditioned for it and it was one line
Speaker 5: and I auditioned for it, and like three months later
Speaker 5: it was like a really long time. They're like, oh,
Speaker 5: you got the part. And then I said oh, and
Speaker 5: then I said okay. And then I was like, did
Speaker 5: they give me any notes about it? And they said oh,
Speaker 5: they said, just do exactly what you did in the audition.
Speaker 2: And I had no idea.
Speaker 5: And my my scene is I'm at the altar and
Speaker 5: it was oh, Patrick Duffy and Susan Summers and I
Speaker 5: was like, oh, margol, I mean I watched Dallas, I
Speaker 5: mean Freeze Company, and they I'm running in this little
Speaker 5: chapel and Susanne Summers grabs my shoulder and whips me
Speaker 5: around and goes, you're not Simone. I still remember this
Speaker 5: is so she goes, she goes, You're not Simone and
Speaker 5: I go, no, but thanks for ruining the best day
Speaker 5: of my life. And I did it so big, and
Speaker 5: the writer came over to me and goes, can you
Speaker 5: just kind of do it the way you did it?
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh no, and I was too
Speaker 5: nervous to say I don't remember. I should have just
Speaker 5: said that, can you tell me what I did?
Speaker 2: Can you just hit me a lie?
Speaker 5: I will just do it exactly how you tell me to.
Speaker 5: But then I just was like so then I just
Speaker 5: kind of started, oh so bad y'all. I started saying
Speaker 5: it like that, I would like hit a different word,
Speaker 5: you know, with.
Speaker 7: The punch of different things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 5: Thanks for ruining. Can I say it if it was
Speaker 5: my life? And I just saw them over like you
Speaker 5: know how they sidebar and video writers like I saw
Speaker 5: him go like I was like, oh no, it made
Speaker 5: it in though it's not good, but it made it in.
Speaker 7: Over the top considering how subtle you guys are on
Speaker 7: the office, Like that's wrong. That's the greatest strength, right,
Speaker 7: It's like it was a show that really brought like
Speaker 7: more realistic acting and like understated performances, and that's what
Speaker 7: struck me watching it. So it's hysterical that you can
Speaker 7: it's also kind of.
Speaker 4: Impressive to be over the top on tgif that's amazing,
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 5: I mean I was doing sketch comedy though, and I
Speaker 5: want all my characters. And honestly, I thought I was
Speaker 5: going to get fired from the office because my very
Speaker 5: first scene, and Jenna knows this story, all I had
Speaker 5: to say, you know, someone's going to get fired, And
Speaker 5: all I had to say was, it'll probably be me.
Speaker 5: It's probably going to be me. To Kevin and Ken
Speaker 5: Kappas came over to me and I was like, it's
Speaker 5: probably going to be me, and he goes less just
Speaker 5: half of that just and so I was like, it'll
Speaker 5: probably be me, and he was a little bit less
Speaker 5: by the time I said the line. I was like,
Speaker 5: it'll probably be me and he was like, perferfect. So
Speaker 5: that was my lesson one oh one. Right away.
Speaker 1: I was like, do nothing, give us nothing? Yes, yes, Jenna.
Speaker 1: What did you watch as a kid?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Well, I loved Cheers. That was a family favorite. R
Speaker 3: rewatching it recently and man, the pilot of Cheers is
Speaker 3: a chef's.
Speaker 1: Kiss, one of the best pilots it's ever on a
Speaker 1: plane recently, Yeah, and was like, so this is beautiful.
Speaker 4: It really is.
Speaker 3: It's amazing. Shout out to the Breaking Bad Pilot, which
Speaker 3: I also like one of the greatest.
Speaker 4: Another great one.
Speaker 3: I watched news Radio. That was one that I loved.
Speaker 3: I also watched Wonder Years, Yes, yeah, Golden Girls, Rachel
Speaker 3: so that was kind of Those were the shows I
Speaker 3: watched growing.
Speaker 2: Oh, you had good taste?
Speaker 3: Well there, I don't know, it's what was on.
Speaker 7: There's also good TV.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So for this episode, we have decided to
Speaker 1: pick an episode of our respective shows for the other
Speaker 1: podcast to watch and then.
Speaker 2: We're going to discuss it.
Speaker 1: The only real criteria was that we wanted an episode
Speaker 1: that was reflective of the show as a whole, So
Speaker 1: we chose one of our podcast favorite episodes, season four,
Speaker 1: episode two, which is called hair Today Goon Tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Writer, do you want to maybe break down why we
Speaker 2: chose this one?
Speaker 7: I think it was. It was a good one. I
Speaker 7: had a it showed all of our strengths. I think as.
Speaker 2: Characters want to pay.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of times on our show where it
Speaker 7: will be like one character's arc and everybody else is
Speaker 7: relegated to I mean, Danielle isn't even in so many
Speaker 7: of the episodes, and I realize watching back. So this
Speaker 7: was a good one for you, A good one for
Speaker 7: Will's story with the story.
Speaker 6: A story, good story, yes, yeah, good bounce and we
Speaker 6: actually got to talk to each other in this episode
Speaker 6: was just kind of rare.
Speaker 7: They often sort of it was you know, me and
Speaker 7: Corey or Corey intopanga, and this one integrated those two.
Speaker 7: So we just thought it was a good like.
Speaker 6: This could kind of be considered the start of the
Speaker 6: Shan to Panga friendship where you really see that the
Speaker 6: characters existed together, not just through Corey.
Speaker 5: They had that sweet moment in the bathrooms where have
Speaker 5: You Gone?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's really one of the first times we're
Speaker 1: season four of the show. It's one of the first
Speaker 1: times you understand that they know each other outside of
Speaker 1: just being related to Corey in some way.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 6: They really made Daniel feel like she was lucky to
Speaker 6: be there for like the first two or three seasons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two or three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt pretty much the whole whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much the whole time I was there.
Speaker 1: They were like, well, yikes, we were going to say
Speaker 1: we're lucky to have you.
Speaker 5: We say too, And she gave you your shoulders.
Speaker 1: So what would you guys say, is the most valuable
Speaker 1: thing you have learned on your rewatch journey of the office?
Speaker 5: Oh that's a good question. I mean, I mean, just
Speaker 5: right off the cuff. For me, I would say, I'm
Speaker 5: just thankful. Yeah, really, I'm just thankful that we got
Speaker 5: to be part of a show that means something to people,
Speaker 5: and parents share it with their kids and it's being
Speaker 5: passed down generations, and I'm thankful that I get to
Speaker 5: do this job with my best friend who I love
Speaker 5: being creative with, and I was so worried when the
Speaker 5: show ended. There was that part of me that had
Speaker 5: this heartbreak that I would never get to be creative
Speaker 5: with Jenna again. And so I don't know, I don't
Speaker 5: know if that's what I learned, but I think I've
Speaker 5: learned a lot of gratitude. I guess.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: So we've watched every episode now, okay, and I think
Speaker 3: my biggest takeaway from that experience is that the show
Speaker 3: is really good the whole time. Yeah, So, like I
Speaker 3: think as a cast or as like an office family,
Speaker 3: there's maybe this little belief that earlier seasons were quote
Speaker 3: unquote better or that, like I don't know, like I
Speaker 3: have some favorite episodes that are in season eight great
Speaker 3: and season nine, and even after Steve left after season seven,
Speaker 3: there is still so much good in the show. And
Speaker 3: I think, of course, that was our fear when Steve left,
Speaker 3: was that the show would, you know, never be the
Speaker 3: same or not be as good or whatever. But in
Speaker 3: sitting and rewatching it, I just think like there is
Speaker 3: so much growth in the different characters, And I think
Speaker 3: the other thing I learned is how fun it is
Speaker 3: to rewatch it. Yeah, that there are all these little
Speaker 3: details in it that fans would talk to us about
Speaker 3: that I didn't remember. And I think getting to watch
Speaker 3: it with such separation from having done it, getting to
Speaker 3: watch it like maybe through through a fan's eyes, like
Speaker 3: now I am a fan. That's what we did. And
Speaker 3: and so I like to geek out with fans about
Speaker 3: it because I'm just as excited about little hidden storylines
Speaker 3: and deep cuts as they are.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you have an appreciation for your other actors
Speaker 5: that you know, there were a lot of scenes I
Speaker 5: wasn't in, and and so I wasn't there when they
Speaker 5: were filmed, and I didn't see how it played out.
Speaker 5: And then I get to go and watch it and
Speaker 5: be like, oh my gosh, Phyllis man for every line,
Speaker 5: She's so like. So we have this appreciation too, I
Speaker 5: think for other characters.
Speaker 6: And well, I was just going to ask, who do
Speaker 6: you think is the most underappreciated character on the Office.
Speaker 3: Phyllis is a good choice. She's so solid and she's
Speaker 3: so funny, but then she'll break your heart.
Speaker 5: Your heart.
Speaker 3: When I was rewatching, I became completely tickled by dj
Speaker 3: Novak and if he still has some line reads that
Speaker 3: are just some of my favorite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a little bit of a I mean,
Speaker 1: I also to just I'm so glad to hear it's
Speaker 1: apparently a universal experience because your two answers are two
Speaker 1: of the things we have talked about so much, Like
Speaker 1: one recognizing that for us, especially as teenagers who were
Speaker 1: in so myopic and like, oh my life and my boyfriend,
Speaker 1: I've got a really my world should be high school
Speaker 1: and I'm being taken away from it, Like I can
Speaker 1: look back on it now and have so much gratitude
Speaker 1: for the job, the show, the fact that I met
Speaker 1: my two best friends doing it, that we're still in touch,
Speaker 1: that we still get to talk about it, like we've
Speaker 1: talked about that so much. And then exactly like you said, Jenna,
Speaker 1: we people for years would come up and talk to
Speaker 1: us about what the show meant to them and how
Speaker 1: certain episodes were important.
Speaker 2: They'd be like, you know that scene, and no, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I do what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: And now we see those little moments and we are
Speaker 1: fans of the show, and one thing that will has
Speaker 1: brought up that I think is really is maybe the
Speaker 1: case for the Office as well. If you can recognize
Speaker 1: that there are sometimes many shows within the show, depending
Speaker 1: on what season you're in. It's like Boy Meets World
Speaker 1: started with a bunch of twelve year olds as the star.
Speaker 1: If you watch season one and two, you're going to
Speaker 1: be looking at little kids experiencing junior high and then
Speaker 1: the beginning of high school. If you're watching in season
Speaker 1: four and five, you're seeing kids really well established in
Speaker 1: a high school dealing with real world problems, drinking, breakups,
Speaker 1: prom all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: And then if you watch six and seven, you.
Speaker 4: Can what the hell am I watching right now?
Speaker 6: Like that's just that from what's going it's really great
Speaker 6: and it's college.
Speaker 1: And so if you can, if you can eventually get
Speaker 1: to a place where you let go of like, well
Speaker 1: what happened to the twelve year olds, well forget about that.
Speaker 1: This is season six and seven of Boy Meets World.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a new show within the show. It
Speaker 1: has its own you take on your own appreciation.
Speaker 7: Well that's what great teav he does.
Speaker 6: And the Office is up there, I think with rarefied
Speaker 6: television shows mash was like that, where again you get
Speaker 6: people that are like, the first four seasons best you'll
Speaker 6: ever get, and people like, no, it's the middle ones know,
Speaker 6: the later seasons when they got dramatic, are the best.
Speaker 4: The Office is just like that.
Speaker 6: People might have their version of the best version of
Speaker 6: the show, but you're always going to find other people
Speaker 6: that love something else about it. So that's what makes
Speaker 6: great TV. That's what hit last. There's always something for someone.
Speaker 6: So yes, you guys are up there with very rarefied
Speaker 6: air with yeah your show.
Speaker 1: This is a bit of a niche podcast question, but
Speaker 1: I know for us when people come up to us
Speaker 1: now and they were fans of Boy Meets World, but
Speaker 1: now they're fans of Pod meets World and they actually
Speaker 1: have they know the inside jokes of the pod.
Speaker 5: They know the real.
Speaker 1: People behind the characters now because they gotten to know
Speaker 1: us as individuals through the podcast, that has felt even
Speaker 1: more meaningful than any of the work we did on
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 2: Do you guys feel the same way? Yes.
Speaker 3: My husband will joke with me that if someone comes
Speaker 3: up and says, oh my gosh, I love the Office,
Speaker 3: he's like, you're very polite. You'll take a picture. But
Speaker 3: if someone comes up and says, oh my gosh, I
Speaker 3: love Office Ladies, he's like, you make them your new
Speaker 3: best friends. Yes, up in a way that is you
Speaker 3: are so proud of the podcast and the connections, but
Speaker 3: it's also the community. And I know you guys have
Speaker 3: a similarly, like I don't know what you would call it,
Speaker 3: loyal community of listeners, and I mean you guys know
Speaker 3: and Danielle, I mean we have this in common. Like
Speaker 3: I went through breast cancer and all last year, all
Speaker 3: the treatment. I mean, I can't tell you how the
Speaker 3: podcast helped carry me through that. But also our podcast listeners,
Speaker 3: the cards, the messages, the videos, like it is a
Speaker 3: community that we've made that is separate from the office.
Speaker 3: There are office fans and there's an office community, but
Speaker 3: there is an Office Ladies community. Yes, that means so
Speaker 3: much to us and we're so proud to be a part.
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, exactly. Couldn't agree with you more.
Speaker 1: The emails, the messages, the outpouring of support. How funny
Speaker 1: they all are too, like that they get it. The
Speaker 1: jokes they make when we post a picture of something
Speaker 1: and one of them makes a comment that's like, damn it.
Speaker 2: How did we not think to say that.
Speaker 1: You know, It's like they just they understand us now
Speaker 1: in a way we feel seen in a way that
Speaker 1: you don't normally feel when you're an actor.
Speaker 5: Well, a lot of people now talk to me and
Speaker 5: aren't afraid of me, so nice. I'm not very chatty
Speaker 5: and for a long time, like people would be like, oh,
Speaker 5: I would see someone say oh I saw you, and
Speaker 5: I wanted to say hi, but I was too afraid.
Speaker 5: And I'm like, and you know, if you come up
Speaker 5: and say hi to me, I'm gonna talk your ear
Speaker 5: off and at some point you're gonna be like I've
Speaker 5: got to go, and I'm like, no, We're still talking.
Speaker 5: So I think people now this is true, Like no
Speaker 5: know the podcast, they know that about me. And so
Speaker 5: we recently had some fan mail where someone said that
Speaker 5: her son she introduced her mom to the show and
Speaker 5: the podcast, and her son, this little kid was like, oh,
Speaker 5: and Angel's not a bee in real life. And I
Speaker 5: was like, oh, thank you so much for writing anything
Speaker 5: that Angela is not a bee in real life.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, all right, let's jump into hair today,
Speaker 1: goon tomorrow. So I would like to give our listeners
Speaker 1: a little synopsis before we jump in.
Speaker 2: So Tapanga takes drastic.
Speaker 1: Measures to prove to Corey that looks aren't important. But
Speaker 1: when Tapega gets a stunning makeover, Corey starts to feel
Speaker 1: even more self conscious. So what were your overall thoughts
Speaker 1: on the episode, Jenna, Let's start with you.
Speaker 3: My overall thought was that this was a beautiful episode
Speaker 3: of television and surprising and touching and funny, and I
Speaker 3: just I thought it was a pleasure my overall thought.
Speaker 3: And we did request like give us like a quintessential episode,
Speaker 3: and I have questions, but that was that was my over.
Speaker 2: You'll lead with that, Okay, great, Angela, what about you?
Speaker 5: I just thought it touched on such real storylines, like
Speaker 5: real things. I moved around a lot as a kid.
Speaker 5: I sometimes I wanted people to notice me. Sometimes I
Speaker 5: wanted to disappear as the new kid. And I just
Speaker 5: thought all of the things that the characters were going
Speaker 5: through about their own self image and how they fit in,
Speaker 5: and the heart to hearts that the characters had, and also,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm about to have two kids, hopefully in
Speaker 5: college maybe not so, like what does that look like
Speaker 5: as a parent? And I also really related to your
Speaker 5: guest star actors. You had such great characters. Anyway, I
Speaker 5: just really loved it. I thought it was a great episode.
Speaker 1: We call those drive bys when we get a guest
Speaker 1: star who comes in, is only there for one episode,
Speaker 1: has a handful of scenes, handful of lines.
Speaker 2: But they kill it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We're like, that's a perfect drive.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you just cruise through, drop a comedy bomb
Speaker 5: and so on.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I'll say it exceeded my expectations because my
Speaker 3: the only thing I knew was that I was going
Speaker 3: to watch a show like with teenagers, kind of for teenagers. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so it definitely was. I was like, oh, but
Speaker 3: this is also just a great episode of comedy television.
Speaker 3: Like it didn't. It didn't feel like a kids show,
Speaker 3: right that.
Speaker 5: You performances are really solid, really good. You're very grounded.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 7: Can we do this every week?
Speaker 4: We're just other shows come in and tell us we're awesome.
Speaker 1: You have no real point of reference andce you had
Speaker 1: never seen Boy Means World.
Speaker 2: You had no real point.
Speaker 1: Of reference for the Corey and to Panga relationship. True,
Speaker 1: what were your first impressions of them as a couple?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: So sweet, so sweet? Okay, Yeah, and I also was like,
Speaker 3: isold they always like that?
Speaker 5: Well, I was like a red flaggy. My thought was,
Speaker 5: she's clearly crazy about you. Why are you constantly second
Speaker 5: guessing yourself? What am I takeaways like, this girl's crazy.
Speaker 2: About clearly loves you.
Speaker 1: By the way, that does continue to maintain that topanga,
Speaker 1: very clearly love Corey.
Speaker 5: Super hoty guy with the good locker and that he
Speaker 5: had a card for his locker. Is that brilliant? But yeah,
Speaker 5: she's like, no, thanks, I'm going out with Corey. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Corey doesn't always recip for.
Speaker 2: Anything about doesn't know anything about it.
Speaker 4: Actually, we're just supposed to be together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just feels like he has to be with her,
Speaker 2: but we.
Speaker 3: Were, but doesn't really like her all that month that
Speaker 3: was that was like nineties like love stories in an essence,
Speaker 3: you're right, you just tell me that it's true and
Speaker 3: then so we accept it.
Speaker 1: Correct And Boy Meets World has a lot of that. Yes,
Speaker 1: just tell me what the world is and I have
Speaker 1: to buy into it.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 1: So, growing up, did either of you want to act
Speaker 1: as a kid? Would you have wanted to be child actors?
Speaker 3: I wanted to not go to college. Okay, Yeah, so
Speaker 3: I was happy to finish high school. I actually loved
Speaker 3: my high school. I was in the theater club, never
Speaker 3: got any lead roles, but I was itching to drive
Speaker 3: to Los Angeles when I graduated from high school. I
Speaker 3: knew what I wanted to do for a living, and
Speaker 3: my parents insisted that I go to college. And I'm
Speaker 3: really glad that they did because of just the emotional
Speaker 3: and social development of those four years. I think I
Speaker 3: would have probably been eaten alive if I had tried
Speaker 3: to come here. I graduated high school at seventeen, So
Speaker 3: if I had driven out to LA at seventeen or eighteen,
Speaker 3: I just I wouldn't have had the I wouldn't have
Speaker 3: had the life skills because I would have been doing
Speaker 3: it on my own. I wouldn't have had the benefit
Speaker 3: of parents or anything. And so.
Speaker 4: That was me.
Speaker 5: That was yeah, I well did.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I moved down for boy met Row when I was
Speaker 4: sixteen seventeen.
Speaker 5: I'm very by yourself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but well, I had a.
Speaker 6: Legal guardian who was my oldest brother's fraternity brother who
Speaker 6: I had met once before.
Speaker 4: We moved into the oak Wood together.
Speaker 5: Okay, and I didn't have those life skills.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was one of those things where again
Speaker 4: very close to my family.
Speaker 6: They're still around, thank god, and you know, they're great people,
Speaker 6: but they they're both lawyers, so they knew.
Speaker 4: They're like, if you want to do this, you have
Speaker 4: to go. And I'm from Connecticut.
Speaker 6: So I moved out here and I would walk by
Speaker 6: a pile of wash and was by the third time,
Speaker 6: I go, oh, that's right.
Speaker 4: I I have to do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my god.
Speaker 4: So it was, yeah, I had that.
Speaker 6: I was in exactly that position and I didn't have
Speaker 6: the life skills. And they talk about it today with
Speaker 6: they're like, it's crazy some of the things that I mean.
Speaker 6: I started auditioning in New York, and again my parents
Speaker 6: couldn't take me, so they dropped me off of the
Speaker 6: bus and I'd take a three hour bus ride down
Speaker 6: in New York. I'd walk around the city, I do
Speaker 6: my auditionals twelve and then I'd get back on the bus.
Speaker 4: And I go back to Connecticut.
Speaker 6: So this was it was that exact same thing where
Speaker 6: I didn't want to go to college. I knew what
Speaker 6: I wanted to do. I started working at eleven, but
Speaker 6: I didn't have the I have to cook for my
Speaker 6: So I was eating fast food every night. It's like
Speaker 6: the things that aren't healthy because I didn't have the
Speaker 6: life skills to go with it at the time.
Speaker 3: So yeah, my parents were very supportive as well of me,
Speaker 3: and they they were like, as soon as I graduated college,
Speaker 3: they were like, let's pack up your car and you
Speaker 3: can head out. But also I think they had been
Speaker 3: saving for my college. My parents are just like very practical,
Speaker 3: and they were like, we have saved this money.
Speaker 5: We don't want to buy yah, you will now yeah yeah,
Speaker 5: so yeah, yeah, so funny.
Speaker 2: Have either of you worked with a lot of child actors?
Speaker 5: I mean, well on the show okay, yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: I worked. I mean we had our babies, and you
Speaker 5: had a lot of work with the two little girls
Speaker 5: that played CC.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I also did a movie where I played a mother
Speaker 3: I had a son. It was called A Little Help.
Speaker 3: And then I was on a TV show for two
Speaker 3: years on ABC called Splitting Up Together where I had
Speaker 3: three children and so two teenagers and then one little guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, and I did a pilot or two and
Speaker 5: I've done I mean, I play I play Sabrina Carpenter's
Speaker 5: mom and Avia Michelle's mom and tall girl. That's right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: of course I was. I'm like more mom of teenagers
Speaker 5: or older kids.
Speaker 1: So funny a Sabrina Carpenter connection between us, so Corey's
Speaker 1: big reveal that he looks the exact same, trying at
Speaker 1: least to convey a message of beauty comes from within.
Speaker 1: Did you did that message work for you in hair today,
Speaker 1: goon tomorrow?
Speaker 3: You know what, Danielle, you were so beautiful before you
Speaker 3: cut your hair. You were so beautiful when your hair
Speaker 3: was uneven.
Speaker 4: I was like.
Speaker 2: About so beautiful after.
Speaker 7: And we set it all up where like me and
Speaker 7: Bann are like, look at her when she comes, You're
Speaker 7: completely It's like, you.
Speaker 2: Know, yes, it was so that part.
Speaker 3: I was a little bit like it was part of
Speaker 3: that thing where it's like, Okay, tell me what I
Speaker 3: have to buy into and I'll just go.
Speaker 5: Very stressed out. Because when you cut your hair off,
Speaker 5: I thought, oh no, the next scene is she's gonna
Speaker 5: really like be like.
Speaker 2: Well, then here's this right thought it was going to go.
Speaker 5: I thought I thought you were about to really really cut,
Speaker 5: like a buzz cut or something.
Speaker 4: Right, didn't you have to negotiate even to cut that
Speaker 4: much off.
Speaker 1: So the haircut, you know, I really did cut my hair.
Speaker 1: It was it was not a wig.
Speaker 3: It was seemed clear.
Speaker 2: It was definitely my hair. And you had your artist bag.
Speaker 1: I had my artist bag. So very clever, That's what
Speaker 1: I said.
Speaker 4: Justify the scissors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a director move. So smart, Jeff McCracken.
Speaker 5: It's a nice heartbag.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. So that in the day.
Speaker 1: You know, I had asked to cut my hair during
Speaker 1: the hiatus? Can I cut my hair?
Speaker 3: So this was my question, like, how did this come about?
Speaker 3: I was I'm sure you talked about this on your
Speaker 3: original breakdown, but I have krry you in. Yes, I
Speaker 3: didn't want to listen to it. I wanted to come
Speaker 3: into this.
Speaker 5: It looked like it was so nice that you asked
Speaker 5: them because there sometimes you've used the stories like Felicity
Speaker 5: remember like she cut her.
Speaker 3: Hair situation where that was the storyline.
Speaker 5: I heard, uh, oh hot goth, I heard she cut
Speaker 5: her hair over the summer.
Speaker 2: No, yes, they.
Speaker 5: Were mad and they were like, oh my god, and
Speaker 5: they were freaking out. I have no nothing to back
Speaker 5: this up other than I don't know that she.
Speaker 6: Was leased n on Boy Meets World in my first
Speaker 6: on screen kiss with all the big hair.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7: So I think the deep background that you guys should
Speaker 7: probably know before Danielle tells us about this, our show
Speaker 7: had a hair up session.
Speaker 1: Completession, that's part of the reason episode.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that part of the reason we were
Speaker 7: all cast was for our hair at that time. The
Speaker 7: real like breakout episode of Boy Meets World was the
Speaker 7: fifth episode that we of the first season where we
Speaker 7: introduced the character of to Panga, was about Corey straightening
Speaker 7: his hair and it goes disastrously wrong. And that was
Speaker 7: based on our executive producer's child that he had actually
Speaker 7: done that as a kid because he had Corey's hair
Speaker 7: in real life, and so he cast a bunch of
Speaker 7: you know, people with big hair. And hair was always
Speaker 7: a big topic of conversation backstage, how we and whether
Speaker 7: whether we were allowed to cut our hair. Big conversation,
Speaker 7: so that.
Speaker 6: Being a kid too want to show you just want
Speaker 6: to please the adults. So everything we did we asked, Yeah,
Speaker 6: can we cut our hair? Can I get a tattoo?
Speaker 4: Can I do this? Can I do it right?
Speaker 1: We never thought there was a possibility we could get
Speaker 1: away with not asking right, right, right, So we I
Speaker 1: had really wanted to cut my hair. I had only
Speaker 1: had one haircut in my entire life, and it was
Speaker 1: when I was two. I had hair down to my
Speaker 1: butt from the time I was two, and my hair
Speaker 1: at the end had little ring lit curls, and my
Speaker 1: mom at one point decided I needed a trim, and
Speaker 1: they just cut off those ring lit curls and then
Speaker 1: we never had I never had another haircut until that time.
Speaker 1: I cut my hair on teat.
Speaker 5: Oh, you must have been so excited.
Speaker 2: I was so excited.
Speaker 1: I was really ready to get rid of it. I
Speaker 1: felt like I was going to be you know, I
Speaker 1: wanted to feel like an adult. It was going to
Speaker 1: be my first adult haircut. And I asked and Michael said,
Speaker 1: at first, no, absolutely not, no, no, no, and I continued.
Speaker 1: I persisted, and then he said, okay, at least let
Speaker 1: me write an episode about it. And I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: And of course I was a little bummed because here
Speaker 1: I'm asking in like June, and we don't go back
Speaker 1: to production until August, so all right, I have to wait,
Speaker 1: and who knows when in the season it'll be. But
Speaker 1: then we get pretty early on in the in the season,
Speaker 1: we get this this haircutting episode.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And that day, right before I cut, Michael, our executive producer,
Speaker 1: said to me, show me where, show me where you're
Speaker 1: planning on cutting, and I was like, here, nope, look longer.
Speaker 2: It needs to be longer.
Speaker 1: And it was an actual negotiation, and there was a
Speaker 1: lot of stress about whether or not I was going
Speaker 1: to listen because he knew I had all the power
Speaker 1: with the scissors in my hands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you could just accidentally accidentally.
Speaker 2: Do whatever I want.
Speaker 4: I never crossed your mind though I.
Speaker 7: Was such a rule follower I was now time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was like no, and I think I
Speaker 1: aired on the side of I think. Also, my hairdresser
Speaker 1: had said to me, if you leave it longer, I
Speaker 1: can do more with the layers. You know, I need
Speaker 1: some room to play. So yes, we definitely took it
Speaker 1: a little a little safe.
Speaker 3: What was the audience reaction to you cutting your hair?
Speaker 2: Big gasp?
Speaker 1: Also, you'll be surprised to know we gave out pieces
Speaker 1: of my hair.
Speaker 7: Audience.
Speaker 5: No, I'm sorry, Is this the thing that would you
Speaker 5: give thanks to the audience?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the time signed scripts, chunks of hair, sure
Speaker 1: props and.
Speaker 4: Would throw a shirt into the crowd, like you.
Speaker 6: Take would do his dance later and the guys would
Speaker 6: do a Backstreet Boys dance in front of the crowd
Speaker 6: for the later seasons, and Ben would always take his
Speaker 6: shirt off and throw it. It was like a big
Speaker 6: mocked Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 5: So there was a show behind the show that was
Speaker 5: like your interactions with the audience.
Speaker 4: We had audience members.
Speaker 6: We had one family we lovingly to their face called
Speaker 6: the Stalkers, the Sheer family, who came to every episode.
Speaker 7: For sixty six seasons, to the point where.
Speaker 4: We every episode.
Speaker 6: There was one episode where like their grandmother had died
Speaker 6: and they're like, she wanted us to be here, so
Speaker 6: they did this one to the point where went to
Speaker 6: Pangan Kory get married there in the audience of.
Speaker 4: When they get married. Yeah.
Speaker 6: But the other reason we never would have said anything
Speaker 6: about where we can cut, where we can do is
Speaker 6: we were had a notorious executive producer.
Speaker 4: Who would fire people a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So the first season of the show, we had their
Speaker 6: actors just getting dinged.
Speaker 5: Is this the hair guy?
Speaker 4: This is this the hair guy?
Speaker 6: And so we never really felt like we had job security.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was a replacement for someone who had
Speaker 1: gotten fired that was originally booked from some you know,
Speaker 1: had a job someone else was.
Speaker 4: The only original one. The rest of us replaced an actor.
Speaker 6: So the idea of like, no, we're going to do
Speaker 6: something without permission.
Speaker 7: It was always supposed to be Corey and his two
Speaker 7: best friends. So we had a revolving We called it
Speaker 7: the death Chair in the Cafeteria because.
Speaker 4: So one day they just literally got same episode.
Speaker 6: They just gave all of the best friends lines to
Speaker 6: ride her and then they went, Yeah, it was a
Speaker 6: little crazy, terrifying.
Speaker 1: Another reason we chose this episode is because we have
Speaker 1: an incredible b story with our friend willcare.
Speaker 2: A good looking detective. Good looking guy.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: One big thing we have learned while rewatching is how
Speaker 1: you can give Will anything in a script and he's
Speaker 1: going to make it better than what was ever.
Speaker 2: Whatever was on the page just turned.
Speaker 1: He could turn any simple line into a catchphrase, any
Speaker 1: simple line into a memorable thing, any scene into something
Speaker 1: that meeting you know, mildly funny and it's massively funny.
Speaker 2: Do you have people?
Speaker 1: Are you those people from the office who are the
Speaker 1: cast members that whatever was on the script, you could
Speaker 1: just guarantee they're going to make it better.
Speaker 3: Oh well, Steve, okay, rain.
Speaker 5: I would say, I think everybody honestly, like I felt
Speaker 5: like the whole ensemble could like take a line and
Speaker 5: just like absolutely tear it up right, and there would
Speaker 5: be table reads where their creed would just destroy all
Speaker 5: of us. That's true or whoever had that storyline, and
Speaker 5: you would just be like, oh man, And there was
Speaker 5: such a creative sort of celebration of those other characters
Speaker 5: in those moments, and especially as I was number eight
Speaker 5: on the call sheet, and when you saw your whole
Speaker 5: like cast, like just take in your moment, and for
Speaker 5: you it meant so much because you know, you held
Speaker 5: onto those storylines when you weren't in the a story
Speaker 5: as much. But but yeah, we had a good we
Speaker 5: had a deep bench.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, that's a.
Speaker 3: That's a basketball, and we didn't thank you. So we
Speaker 3: tended over our nine seasons to do the opposite, which
Speaker 3: was we never fired anyone. We just kept adding people,
Speaker 3: Like by season nine we had like twenty two cast members.
Speaker 5: We had so many. I always felt so bad for
Speaker 5: our set pa because she was just like constantly running
Speaker 5: like where is everyone? We were a lot of a
Speaker 5: lot of people to keep trying of.
Speaker 1: So, never having seen the show before, you watched this
Speaker 1: one episode. A lot of fans give us a lot
Speaker 1: of praise for the show being a good mix of
Speaker 1: comedy and heart. How do you two feel? Would you
Speaker 1: ever watch another episode? How did like, did.
Speaker 2: You want to watch more?
Speaker 5: I would?
Speaker 3: I really appreciated this episode and its message. But the
Speaker 3: scene that got me that is like, just just is
Speaker 3: your scene with the towny Oh yeah, yeah, I did
Speaker 3: not know where that was going. And please don't make
Speaker 3: fun of her, Please don't make fun of her, Please
Speaker 3: don't make fun of her. And because I'm like, this
Speaker 3: is a comedy.
Speaker 2: It's a coom where are we going with easy joke?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: And it was so beautiful, like it was just really
Speaker 3: great and it wasn't It was also your reaction. It
Speaker 3: was the way your eyes like had this moment of
Speaker 3: realization where you were like had this compassion and kindness
Speaker 3: and yet also like, oh boy, like this is I'm
Speaker 3: sitting across the table from the real world and I'm
Speaker 3: realizing what I have and oh yeah it was. It
Speaker 3: was really powerful. I loved it.
Speaker 2: I also loved it and saying her praises when wet.
Speaker 4: It's just like she came in and she did that
Speaker 4: all week.
Speaker 6: She just kept finding these little moments and by the
Speaker 6: end we were like, I mean, she you had her
Speaker 6: whole life right there in.
Speaker 4: That that way.
Speaker 5: And she broke my heart when she was like you
Speaker 5: your parents help you or she said, and I was like,
Speaker 5: where is her family?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great scene.
Speaker 2: Well, one of the things we thought would be fun
Speaker 2: is to play a little game.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, okay, since this is your first Boy.
Speaker 1: Meets World episode ever, you know nothing about our characters,
Speaker 1: pasts or future. So what we're going to do is
Speaker 1: list our three characters and for each we will give
Speaker 1: you some multiple choice options and you have to decide
Speaker 1: which is true as something that does happen to our
Speaker 1: characters at some point. So does sean A steal Corey's
Speaker 1: dad's watch to buy tickets to Accounting Crow's concert, only
Speaker 1: to learn that lying isn't worth it. Straight from lead
Speaker 1: singer Adam Durvitz's.
