<v Speaker 1>My listeners want more, so we are digging in comedian

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Amy Schumer. As far as cancel culture goes, I think

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that the people who are the most afraid and complaining

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 1>about cancel culture are the ones who are in danger

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 1>of being canceled, and they need to take a look

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>at themselves. I agree with you. You know I'm not

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>worried about it because I know my intentions and I

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Canada have a question for you. I was just wondering

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 1>your iconic character, Kevin. As we all know and love

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you know I wouldn't want to change a thing, but

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>if there's one thing you could change, about Kevin Malone.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>What would it be inquiring Mines wants to know. Well,

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:46.159
<v Speaker 1>thanks Bob for your question. You know, I think the

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>one thing I've addressed this a little bit throughout the podcast.

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I wish that Kevin had found love. You know. I

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>talked to Ellie Kemper a little bit. I had pitched

0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Aaron and Kevin getting together before the start of the

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>final season. That obviously did not happen, But I wish

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Kevin had had found love. I wish there had been

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>a little more uh victory for him in terms of

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.919
<v Speaker 1>his relationship. I love the storyline with Lynn when we

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>had that. Obviously Stacy his fiance early on, she wasn't

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>explored all that much. But yeah, I wish Kevin had

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>had one of those small victories in finding love. Hi, Brian,

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>my name is Logan Corkins. I'm from Kansas City, Missouri.

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm a huge, huge fan of the Office. I loved

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>all your interviews throughout the show. But um, I have

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>a story and I have a question for you. Um.

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 1>I want to start with my story. So, when I

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>was in college, I worked for a baseball team called

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.919
<v Speaker 1>the Omaha storn Chasers through the Triple a affiliate of

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City Royals, and I was working on an off day.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I worked in the clubhouse. I was a clubhouse assistant

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was a bad boy. Um. But I was

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>at the ballpark on one of our off days and

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Warren Buffett happened to be at our um at our

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>ball field and he was talking to our general manager.

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>My general manager asked me if I told me I

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.239
<v Speaker 1>could ask a question to Warrant. And you know, Warren's

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.559
<v Speaker 1>this incredibly successful person, and all I can think about

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>is that he had just aired or he had just

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 1>been on an episode of the Office, like a couple

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>of weeks before. So I go in, I sit down,

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and Warren's like, what's your question, young man? I go, yeah,

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>what was the light to work with John Franciski and

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the cast of the Office. And he sits there for

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a second. He just laughed. He's like, Okay, well, not

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>the question I expected. It tells me how great it was.

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Told me it was a phenomenal experience. My general manager

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely dying laughing. He's like, you could ask him anything,

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>but of course you had to come around and talk

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>about the Office. That was pretty cool. Um. The question

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I had for you O'Brien is back in the day

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>when you guys were filming. In the episode Office Olympics,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>we see all the different games that the characters played,

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 1>but did you ask her and angew actually have games

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that you would play in accounting when you were like

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>background characters first scene? I'd love to know more. Thank

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you well, Logan. First off, thank you for your story

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>about war and Buffett. I tell you the day that

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>he and Charlie Munger came on set. That was amazing.

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how we pulled that off or who

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>pulled that off, but the fact that he left and

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you asked him that question is awesome. Now about games,

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, we get asked a lot about pranks, right

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>because pranks were such a huge part of the show.

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Your's is a similar question in terms of games and

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>relating to Office Olympics. You know, the boring answer is

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>we didn't really. I mean, we played comedy games. I

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>guess like our games would be about trying to make

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>each other laugh. That would be it would be about

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>us in the deep background, attempting to make each other laugh.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>And as we've discussed many times, we felt like there

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>was a show within a show happening called the Accountants

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that we were the stars of. So we were always

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to make each other laugh and pass notes, and

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>in fact I have notes from Angela. Before the computers worked,

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>we we would pass notes back and forth to each

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>other again in an attempt to make each other laugh,

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>but also in character. So famously, I have an illustration.

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Oscar has an illustration. I think Jenna Fisher has an

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>illustration from Angela on a post it note, which was

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>an invitation to sprinkles her cat's birthday party. Hello Brian,

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>my name is Brianna, and I live in Dallas, Texas.

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>And I know that you know this area very well

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>as you went to SMU, so I feel like we

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>have a connection already known the same neck of the woods.

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna get personal really quick. I have a

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>funny office story I wanted to share. Sorry if it's

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit t m I, but I think you'll

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you'll get how funny this is. So about four years

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>ago I had my oldest daughter, and after I had her,

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>everything was going well and it came time to meet

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>with the lactation consultant. Right so, so me being a

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>very first time mom, never having done breastfeeding before. I

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.839
<v Speaker 1>am in front of all these nurses and nurses come

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>in and lactician consultant and the lactation consultant says, do

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you know how to stimulate your nipple? And I said,

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely I do, and I start aggressively flicking my nipple

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>with my finger, to which they were both appalled and

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>thought was hilarious. They stopped me and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey,

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? I said, stimulating the nipple and

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>they said, who told you to do that? I said, um,

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I learned it from the office with Pam and her

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>le nation consultant. They thought that was the funniest thing.

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 1>A couple of nurses go out, grab some more nurses

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>bring them in. They say, Brianna, Brianna, tell us what

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you just did and how you learned it. I said, um,

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I was flicking my nipple because I learned it from

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the office. They just thought that was the most hysterical

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>thing they could ever see, and to which they taught me, no, honey,

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>be sure to roll stop with the flicking. So I

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.199
<v Speaker 1>just think that is it just really speaks to me

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>because the office is such a special show to me

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and my entire family. I just give so much credit

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to every single person on that show, from the casting

0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>all the way down to the acting, to the heart

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.959
<v Speaker 1>that was put into the editing, every single detail. I

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>wish I could have been there. I truly wish I

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.720
<v Speaker 1>could have been a fly on the wall to see

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>what I think is the greatest show to ever hit

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>television and my favorite show that I have ever seen

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.439
<v Speaker 1>in my life. So anyway, it was a pleasure sending

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>in this video memo. I don't know if you'll ever

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>hear it or not, but thank you Ryan for your

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years of these incredibly special podcasts. I've

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.319
<v Speaker 1>listened to every single one, and thank you for your time,

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and thank you for sharing your love of the show

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>with all of us. All Right, thanks Brian, byebye. All right, Brianna, Well,

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>first off, yes, I did hear your story. Uh, there's

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>so much to unpack here. First off, Hail to the

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Red and the Blue, the Mustangs of s m U. Yes,

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I went to s m U there in Dallas, and

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.079
<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll run into each other sometime when I am back.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Now it feels as though you're trying to get me

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>in trouble you you you said flicking my nipple several times.

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where to go exactly with that, but

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>thank you for your story. You know, it reminds me

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of another story that I read about actually, where somebody

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>learned something from the office. It wasn't about lactation, let

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>me be clear. But there was a guy by the

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 1>name of Cross Scott, twenty one years of age, back

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen He was an auto technician in Arizona, and

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>he was driving down the road and he saw a

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>car that was pulled over and a woman who appeared

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.199
<v Speaker 1>to need some help. He pulled over to help her,

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and she was unconscious and he had to break her

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>window and got in and was trying to help her.

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>He didn't have a cell phone, and he realized he

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>needed to do CPR, but he didn't know CPR, and

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he thought to himself, well, the only point of reference

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that I have for CPR is the office the stress

0:12:54.960 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 1>relief episode, and he remembered, uh uh uh, stay in alive,

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 1>stay in alive, which apparently, according to the American Heart Association,

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>is actually the correct beat for CPR. I looked that up.

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 1>That is true, so at least that was accurate. So

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Cross did this version of CPR on the woman. An

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>ambulance arrived ten or fifteen minutes later, and the woman survived,

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and they told Cross that had he not performed this

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:35.320
<v Speaker 1>CPR on her, that things would not have turned out. Okay.

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>She she recovered and is fine as far as I

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>know today. So you learned about nipple flicking. Uh, maybe

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't the right way to go, but Cross Scott

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>used the Office to save a woman's life. Unbelievable. Hey, Brian,

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I just want to let you know then your podcast.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.760
<v Speaker 1>It's my absolute favorite podcast and makes Tuesday commutes tolerable

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess, going through traffic all the way to working back. Uh.

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>So here here's my question. My question would be if

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you can pick any character in the Office to do

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>a spinoff show about. Who would it be and what

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 1>would it be about. I'm looking forward to answer. Thank

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you very much. Thanks Alex for your question. You know,

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>we haven't talked much about this throughout the podcast, mostly

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 1>because it didn't happen. But Rain Wilson and Paul Lieberstein,

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>who played Toby but was also showrunner of the Office,

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>as you know, for a while, they actually developed a

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>spinoff in season eight, and it was called The Farm

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and it was about Dwight and his Beat Farm. Now,

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>remnants of that episode played as an episode of The

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Office called The Farm, and that was going to be

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the title of the spinoff. Unfortunately, NBC decided not to

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>pick up that show, and so we never got to

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>see more exploits from Dwight and his family on the

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Beat Farm. So one, I think that's a spectacular idea

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and one that I certainly feel would be worth exploring

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>in the future. And the other is what I mentioned before,

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 1>The accountants, Oscar, Angela and Kevin. I think those three

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>disparate characters working together. I've called it the perfect comedy triangle.

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Um the way the characters are drawn and how they

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 1>interact with each other, I think they could work in

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>almost any setting, So whether it was at dunder Mifflin

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 1>or somewhere else, I guess my answer number two would

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 1>be The Accountants. Hi, Brian, my name is Brian Roser

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>and I live in Buffalo, New York. And this is

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the story of how The Office helped me graduate from

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 1>high school. So in the year I was a senior

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>in high school and all the students had to complete

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>what was called a senior project. UM. It was a

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>semester long class the way that it was set up,

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>but you basically spend nine weeks researching a topic of

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>your choice and presenting an argument at the end of

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the year. And so um our teachers were encouraging us

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to pick something new, something they hadn't heard before. I thought,

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>what do I really like right now? At the time,

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I was obsessed with The Office. I was finally discovering it,

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and I was just so amazed by how it was

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 1>shot differently, how it was unlike anything I had ever

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>seen before. I thought it was so funny. Um So

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I decided that my topic would be why The Office

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>is the greatest show of all time. My teachers loved it,

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and they fought over who got to be my advisor

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the year because they all really

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 1>wanted to see my project. And I spent the next

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>semester researching and finding out more about what set the

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Office apart, why it was so popular. And this was

0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>before even the boom that it's in right now. Um So,

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I was doing my own deep dives for a grade

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 1>for my diploma. UM and at the end of the

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>year I presented it and I had to have a

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>visual aid, and I decided naturally to put a stapler

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 1>in Jello. It's a lot easier than you might think.

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I learned the secret is dental floss, and I encourage

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 1>people to try it if they want to. So that

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.640
<v Speaker 1>is the story of how The Office helped me graduate

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 1>from high school. Well listen, first off, Brian, stay in

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 1>your lane. Okay, I do the deep diving on the Office,

0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and now to learn that you did it many years ago,

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't even I feel like I don't have a

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>place right now. I don't know. This is very this

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 1>is very humbling. Listen, why the Office is the greatest

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 1>show ever of all time? I think is a very

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>worthy senior project. I hope you convinced everyone of all

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of your classmates and teachers of it being so I'm

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 1>glad you graduated. Thank you for that. And I I

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't know about dental flows. I had no idea that

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>that is how you suspended it. In fact, I have

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 1>often wondered how you could suspend a stapler into Jello.

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize dental flaws, And even when you said

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 1>dental flaws, I was like, how does that work? But

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>now I get it. You suspend it while the jello

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 1>molds cools. I don't know. That's incredible. Uh, congratulations on

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:41.679
<v Speaker 1>your project. But just stay in your lane, all right, brand,

<v Speaker 1>a meal they once eight when they were broke. Today

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I have the lovely aj Crimson, the official Princess of Compton,

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Asia Kid and Asia. This is the professor. We're here

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>on Eating Wall Broke, and today I'm gonna break down

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.199
<v Speaker 1>my meal that got me through the time when I

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 1>was broken. Listen to Eating While Broke on the I

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Heart Radio app, on Apple podcast or wherever you get

0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>your podcasts. And we're live here out side the Perez

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 1>family home, just waiting for the and there they go,

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>almost on time. This morning, Mom is coming out the

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 1>front door, strong with a double arm kid carry. Looks

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 1>like Dad has the bags. Daughter is bringing up the rear.

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh but the diaper bag wasn't closed. Diapers and toys

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:22.080
<v Speaker 1>are everywhere. Oh but mom has just nailed the perfect

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.640
<v Speaker 1>car seat buckle for the toddler. And now the eldest daughter,

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 1>who looks to be about nine or ten, has secured

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>herself in the booster seat. Dad zips the bag clothes

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and they're off. Ah, but looks like Mom doesn't realize

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:36.679
<v Speaker 1>her coffee cup is still on the roof of the

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>car and there it goes. Ah. That's a shame that

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>mug was a fan favorite. Don't sweat the small stuff,

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>just nailed the big stuff, like making sure your kids

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 1>are buckled correctly in the right seat for their agent's eyes.

<v Speaker 1>AD Council. Hey Brian, it is Keith Padine from Connecticut.

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>You and I have a history that goes back a

0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:18.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit that I remember, and I guarantee you do not. However,

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I was one of the blogger breakfasts at the original

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>convention there in uh Scranton. I had a website called

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.439
<v Speaker 1>the two Cents dot Com. At the time, I was

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 1>just like this twentysomething year old guy that lived in

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>this little cottage on a farm where I worked a

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:36.440
<v Speaker 1>farm job. But I started covering the office and via

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:41.200
<v Speaker 1>my Space, uh it was Jenna and Angela and Laura Harden.

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I was able to get interviews via my Space with

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you guys and have them be exclusive to my site.

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I started interviewing all the smaller characters, like thatte Nicole

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Brown might be one of my favorite ones ever when

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.680
<v Speaker 1>she paid Paris in Staples, the Staples episode with Dwight.

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, the office was something that connected to fans

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in such a way. But this like changed my life.

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 1>By doing this, I started getting like press passes and

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I was able to be a v I p at

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the convention with you guys. So I was able to

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.080
<v Speaker 1>be at casino night, which was the small part, and

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I played poker next to Ed Helms, watched Craig Robinson

0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 1>saying creep. I remember with the band and the scrand

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Tones were there, you know, and then the big concert

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 1>where you guys all kind of went nuts and you

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.640
<v Speaker 1>guys were just having fun, and it led us all

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>to believe that what we had hoped was true, was

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that you were people who were enjoying yourselves just as

0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:31.919
<v Speaker 1>much as we were enjoy watching you. You were real people,

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.880
<v Speaker 1>You were normal, so so to speak, people who were

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 1>able to communicate with us and just be excited about

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the show. Um. It led to so much for me

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>from that little website. I became a member of the

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Broadcast Television Journalists Association for several years, um, you know,

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and covering all different shows. The two cents got huge.

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I had like thirtysothing writers for me for a while.

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 1>But it all started because you guys were willing to

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 1>communicate with your fans, and I was able to find

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:58.919
<v Speaker 1>that and write it up and do some podcasts. I

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>did a long podcast Asked Once with Bobby Ray Schaeffer,

0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and I remember, I mean it was insane. I was

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:06.399
<v Speaker 1>in l A for about four days for one of

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:08.400
<v Speaker 1>my best friend's weddings, and I get a phone call

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and it was Bobby Ray saying I heard your in

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>l A. And I was hoping that we could have

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 1>lunch like I did, lunch with the office like it

0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:17.679
<v Speaker 1>was just crazy. We went out to sati Quoix and

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 1>saw the building where you guys were. It was insane.

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 1>The office totally changed my life. I'm now a data

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 1>four out here in farm country in Connecticut, but the office,

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 1>for that part of my life was such a special thing.

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And now to be able to listen to this podcast

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and relive all that and think of all these memories

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and all those moments and the way that you've done

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 1>it so beautifully through this podcast and talking to all

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>these people, it's been really, really special. So thank you

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>for what you've done. I believe your birthday was yesterday,

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.679
<v Speaker 1>So happy birthday to you, sir um And from a

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 1>person who got to stand next to you at the

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Bloggers Breakfast and thought that was probably one of the

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>biggest deals ever in my life. Thank you so much, Keith.

0:24:56.359 --> 0:25:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for reaching out. I remember very

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 1>well that Bloggers Breakfast. In fact, I was just back

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>in Scranton a few weeks ago and drove by the

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Hilton where that Bloggers Breakfast took place and pointed out

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the window. It was like, that's where we had the

0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:22.919
<v Speaker 1>bloggers breakfast one morning at the convention. I think the

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 1>only time I've ever been in that building. Listen, it's

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:32.199
<v Speaker 1>it's truly moving to me to hear your story, and

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad that your experience with everybody was so positive.

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I remember that convention and subsequent to that the rap

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 1>party as being um one of the best experiences of

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:53.159
<v Speaker 1>the show. We felt a special bond with the people

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>who had such a love for the show, and that

0:25:57.080 --> 0:26:02.159
<v Speaker 1>traveled to Scranton, Pennsylvania. It sounds like from even for

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you not that close by to come and spend some

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 1>time with us. We had so much fun. You know,

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I referenced it again because it sticks with me. Andy

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Bernard at Helm's line, I wish I knew we were

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>in the good old days while they were happening that convention.

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 1>There certainly in retrospect now, those those were the good

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>old days. So thank you for reconnecting. I'm so glad

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that the office and the connection you made with so

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:36.719
<v Speaker 1>many of us helped you at that time in your life.

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:41.440
<v Speaker 1>It truly was our our pleasure. And yeah, you bring

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>up my space. That was our first attempt when the

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 1>show was struggling mightily to find a couple of audience members.

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:52.679
<v Speaker 1>That was our attempt to try to connect to people

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:55.560
<v Speaker 1>in a new and different way. Uh. And I'm glad

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to know that it. Um, it worked for you, so

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 1>God bless my on. Congratulations on your four kids and

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 1>your new life now in Connecticut. But thank you for

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 1>reminding me of of those good old days. Hi Brian, Hi, everybody.

0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Name is Karen. I'm from Bloomington, Illinois. I just wanted

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to share with you really quick how The Office has

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>really influenced my life and my family. Um. We quote

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:23.199
<v Speaker 1>it all the time. My boyfriend and I started our

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 1>relationship watching The Office together and we'll be celebrating our

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 1>four year anniversary. We quote the Office all the time.

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:35.119
<v Speaker 1>It comes up in conversation. UM. And I was wondering

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 1>if you'd, guys, have any of your favorite quotes come

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:39.040
<v Speaker 1>up all the time, or if you have any little

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.359
<v Speaker 1>bit to the Office that show up from time to

0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 1>time in your daily life. Have a happy holidays. Hi, Kara,

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for your question. Uh, Listen, I don't

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 1>know at this point if there's a day that goes

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:59.239
<v Speaker 1>by that I don't say. That's what she said. I

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>mean and and when I'm when I'm in a public setting,

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:07.159
<v Speaker 1>it feels weird, just like self reference the show in

0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that way. But yes, it has become I don't I

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if daily is right hourly thrice daily

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:20.320
<v Speaker 1>reference for me as well. And you know, look, I

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:23.800
<v Speaker 1>spend a lot of time talking about Chili. I don't

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:27.360
<v Speaker 1>know that there's a specific quote on that, but yes,

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and there is a a giant text chain is that

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:36.360
<v Speaker 1>what you call it? Text chain? Text group text between

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 1>me and some of my other cohorts on the show.

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I would say that's what she said. Is

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know that anyone can say anything

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 1>it without referencing that's what she said. So thank you, Kara.

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad things are going well for you. Congratulations on

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 1>on almost four years together, and thank you for your

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:03.720
<v Speaker 1>comments about the Office and how it has impacted your life. Hi,

0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Bryan and Office step Dive crew. Having looked back on

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>all the episodes listened to and the few I have

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>waiting for me, I am reminded of all the moments

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 1>where you discuss how we as fans feel so connected

0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the casting characters because you have become such crucial, crucial

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 1>pieces to the good, the bad, and the ugly moments

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of our lives. And if we are to believe that

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 1>The Office is an experience of connecting and growing close

0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 1>with the fictional characters over thousands of minutes of watching

0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I do believe, which I do believe, then I believe

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 1>The Office steep Dive podcast is the experience of getting

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>to know the humans behind the characters and the production,

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 1>only to remember that the smartest, most brilliant show has

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.600
<v Speaker 1>already been made and there will almost definitely never be

0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 1>anything better. I come away from each podcast episode with

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a greater gratitude for each and every human that work

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to start the show and keep it running for nine years,

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 1>all those who fought to make it the best it

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 1>could be. Not only us the gratitude for a show

0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 1>that brings my family and I together, but for the wonderful, creative,

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 1>smart humans who made it worth watching more than seven

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:12.040
<v Speaker 1>times through except for Scott's taughts, because well, I don't

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 1>think I need to say why. So from the bottom

0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 1>of my heart, thank you to each and every one

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.360
<v Speaker 1>of you for not only creating the world's best show,

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>but for being such kind and genuine people who made

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 1>something so magical just by being yourselves, Nico, thank you.

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Look that for me was the point in this podcast

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 1>in bringing everybody back together, is for all of you

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to be able to hear what good people that I

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>had the opportunity to work with for a decade, and

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to hear our real and true interactions together as we

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>relived that decade of our life. Look, I'm not a reporter.

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>That much is very very very clear, but I what

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I wanted you all to be able to experience was

0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 1>our conversation, not about the show in an objective way,

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 1>in a third person presentational way, but I wanted you

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to have the experience of of reliving the show through

0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 1>us having been there and the fact that you appreciate

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 1>so many of these people Nico. Um, well you're you're

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:30.360

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and uh and you are beautiful as well. Hey Brian,

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:46.520
<v Speaker 1>my name is Tyler Bee. I'm from Eau Claire, Wisconsin,

0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and I am just going to leave a comment really

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>quick on how The Office changed my life. First off,

0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the show started, Uh, roughly in two thousand five, and

0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:01.800
<v Speaker 1>at that time I was nine years old and I remember,

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, every Thursday night as a kid growing up

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>with my dad watching The Office on NBC, and it

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>was just something that we always bonded together over. Uh.

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 1>The special thing about The Office was for me. Uh.

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I came out when I was twenty one years old

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:27.239
<v Speaker 1>as a gay man, and The Office provided was one

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 1>of the first shows on network television, if not the

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:35.400
<v Speaker 1>first one, I can't remember exactly, but that had some

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:41.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of character that resembled or represented a gay man

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 1>in uh network television show and that was an Oscar obviously,

0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know the comedy involved. And uh as a

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 1>kid knowing at a young age about my life and

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, who I was, but keeping it closeted to myself,

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 1>it was a very, uh, very special thing to see.

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 1>And even though that was in my younger years, you know,

0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:04.360
<v Speaker 1>just keeping that in the back of my mind that

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe one day that things could be better,

0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, kind of living I fear that

0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>if somebody figured out who I was, um, how that

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 1>was going to affect and change my life, and the

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:19.239
<v Speaker 1>offer the Office was really that comfort for me, you

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 1>know every time I watched an episode, especially the Gay

0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 1>witch Hunt, which I laughed just about every single time.

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:28.640
<v Speaker 1>But I think growing up, I always had that fear of,

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's how my coming out experience was going

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to be like. So I just I always tried to

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember the day when I first told somebody about

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>who I was. I always feared that my my experience

0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>was going to run similar to what Oscar had to

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>go through in the Gay witch So, uh, you know,

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 1>things like that. That's that's how it changed my life,

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and it gave me a lot of hope. Thank you

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:57.080
<v Speaker 1>very much. Have a good one, Tayler. Thank you for

0:33:57.160 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 1>calling in. I'm glad it didn't oh that way for you. Look,

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:06.440
<v Speaker 1>there's so much to unpack in this beautiful story that

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you've told. First off, just I hear all the time,

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and this is an example of you know, you were nine,

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:19.760
<v Speaker 1>one could argue a little young, but um of kids

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 1>watching with their parents, sisters and brothers and family enjoying

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the show together multi generationally. So that's cool to me.

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Number one. And look, I don't know if The Office

0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:38.480
<v Speaker 1>was the first show to show a gay character on

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:45.760
<v Speaker 1>network television, but I'm so tremendously proud of one the show,

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and to Oscar Nunyez and and his performance. You know,

0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:55.359
<v Speaker 1>he's talked about this a lot. He didn't realize that

0:34:55.800 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Oscar Martinez was gay when the show started. I don't

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>know if Greg Daniels had that in his mind, but

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Oscar Nuniez did not know that Oscar Martinez was gay.

0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And so when Gay witch Hunt was written and it

0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 1>became clear that Oscar Martinez was gay, I guess there

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:21.799
<v Speaker 1>were some people that that asked Oscar, well, how are

0:35:21.840 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you going to play the character now that you know this?

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And his response was always, well, the same, this is

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Oscar is Oscar, and the fact that now other people

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 1>know that he's gay doesn't affect Oscar's behavior at all.

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:47.239
<v Speaker 1>He is who he is and who he always has been.

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 1>And I'm tremendously proud of that because I think that

0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 1>it would be typical for an actor or for a

0:35:55.680 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 1>show to start making broad, stereotypical adjust months to character

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:05.880
<v Speaker 1>based on that and the fact that that story helped

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:10.879
<v Speaker 1>you or gave you hope for your future. I mean,

0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a cliche, but that's that's what I'm talking about.

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:18.279
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm I'm proud of the show and what

0:36:18.440 --> 0:36:22.560
<v Speaker 1>we at times tried to look at in the world,

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:27.319
<v Speaker 1>truth and beauty, truth and beauty, truth and beauty, as

0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Greg Daniels would say, and whether it be race, gender, sexuality,

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:39.399
<v Speaker 1>issues of health care. We tried to look at real

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:44.000
<v Speaker 1>topics in a real way, not in a stereotypical or

0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 1>generalized way. So Tyler, thank you for calling in. Thank

0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you for telling that story, and and and if it

0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:53.880
<v Speaker 1>is true and if it helped you in any way

0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 1>deal with your coming out, well, God bless you, and

0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you having the courage to to tell not just me,

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:15.719
<v Speaker 1>but all of our listeners be my friend. M Hi,

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.040
<v Speaker 1>But what a lot of us don't like is the

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:33.399

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:54.440

<v Speaker 1>tried to kill her but came back from the dead

0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:01.080

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:11.239
<v Speaker 1>more than that how many of you called in from abroad?

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean the amount a number of countries that we

0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:22.680
<v Speaker 1>heard from. I can't I I'm touched, to say the least. Um,

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:25.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'd like to share some of those submissions with

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 1>you right now. Let's let's go overseas for a bit.

0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Shall we across the pond brim from Oslo, Norway? Here. Hi,

0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm Nia Martin. I'm from Ireland. My name is Laura Power.

0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I am from Melbourne, Australia. Hi, Brian, this is Tom

0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Elliott over in UK. At first, like everyone, of course,

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I fell in love with the characters. I love team

0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:50.879
<v Speaker 1>at Love Pain, I love to act, I love you.

0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I wish I could work at Dundeme fun and everyone

0:40:56.760 --> 0:41:00.359
<v Speaker 1>says that, but um, yeah, it is true. We all

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:04.359
<v Speaker 1>want to work at this magnificent office. I never get

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:07.799
<v Speaker 1>sick of watching The Office. I've watched it probably over

0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:10.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty times back to front now, and I never get

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:12.879
<v Speaker 1>sick of talking about it. So I guess that leads

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:15.480
<v Speaker 1>me into my question for you, which is, do you

0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 1>think there will ever come a day where you just

0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:20.360
<v Speaker 1>don't want to talk about the office anymore? My friends

0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and family will be the first to tell you that

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that won't come for me. That day won't come for me,

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:26.000
<v Speaker 1>But I'm curious to see if you think it will

0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 1>come for you. Well. First of all, thank you to Ula,

0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:36.560
<v Speaker 1>to Nile, Tom Ramiro, thank you Kanako, thank you for

0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 1>calling in. And now to answer your question, Laura, do

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I do I think there will ever come a day

0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:48.200
<v Speaker 1>where I don't want to talk about the office anymore Tomorrow?

0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:52.799
<v Speaker 1>How's that for an answer? Tomorrow I won't want to

0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:57.320
<v Speaker 1>talk about it anymore. Now. I don't know if tomorrow

0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:01.279
<v Speaker 1>will ever come, but tomorrow I won't want to look.

0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I have, as you know, I have deep doven into

0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the show now for two years. We have the podcast,

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 1>we have the book. I've talked to everybody associated with

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the show. I don't know that I ever answered the

0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 1>question that I set out to answer, which is why

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:28.000
<v Speaker 1>is the show now bigger than it ever was when

0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it was on NBC? Why is it now the most

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:36.279
<v Speaker 1>watch show in television? The exploration has been pretty damn

0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:42.759
<v Speaker 1>fun though, So yeah, I'm gonna stop talking about it tomorrow.

0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I Brian and Team. My name is Leam. I'm coming

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to you all to me from sunny Scotland. So I

0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:55.840
<v Speaker 1>apologize if you can't understand my dose accent. I just

0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:59.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to say that I love the podcast. That's amazing,

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:03.799
<v Speaker 1>a lesson all these global superstars, in my eyes, sort

0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of talk about how brilliant their time was making the show,

0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:11.480
<v Speaker 1>hearing all these mad, funny stories and hearing how class are,

0:43:11.600 --> 0:43:15.160
<v Speaker 1>hearing how close US Will were. I'm a massive fan

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 1>of the US Office. Um. I remember when it was

0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:23.200
<v Speaker 1>first announced it was going to be remade, and I

0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:27.840
<v Speaker 1>was one of these skeptics that you get in Scotland

0:43:27.880 --> 0:43:31.239
<v Speaker 1>and the UK as a whole, that they're remaking Son

0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:34.799
<v Speaker 1>for America. This isn't gonna work. But I think that

0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:38.280
<v Speaker 1>it's got its own identity, it's got its own fuel

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:44.120
<v Speaker 1>top um, the characters are completely different, and yeah, absolutely

0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:50.560
<v Speaker 1>love it. But my question is where you expecting But

0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:52.759
<v Speaker 1>obviously didn't seem like you were expecting it to be

0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a big hit in America. But after it was a

0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:58.920
<v Speaker 1>hit in America, were you also expecting it to be

0:43:59.120 --> 0:44:03.760
<v Speaker 1>such a massive across the world and in particular place.

0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>He's like Scotland and the rest of the UK. Thank

0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you very much, speaks Liam Liam from Scotland. Over across

0:44:16.239 --> 0:44:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the Poul that is the worst Scottish accent in the world.

0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I apologize to that, Liam, I mean no disrespect. Listen

0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 1>who No, we were not expecting it to be uh.

0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:33.200
<v Speaker 1>We were not expecting it, as you said, to be

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a hit here. Of course, we were not expecting it

0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to be a hit abroad. And I think you know

0:44:40.440 --> 0:44:46.319
<v Speaker 1>what's interesting because like you, yes, we were hearing that

0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in the United States. By the way, like now, we

0:44:49.480 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 1>do live in in a global world. So when all

0:44:53.040 --> 0:44:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of the articles and people talking over in the u K.

0:44:56.800 --> 0:45:01.319
<v Speaker 1>About how this was a disastrous choice for America to

0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:04.840
<v Speaker 1>be re redoing this show, just know this. We were.

0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:08.600
<v Speaker 1>We were hearing all of those things, okay, and they

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:12.719
<v Speaker 1>were not uh, they were not fun. And in part

0:45:12.800 --> 0:45:16.759
<v Speaker 1>it was because I thought that the original office, the

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:20.800
<v Speaker 1>British Office, the English office, was genius, and that Ricky

0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Gervais was a genius. And I loved the show. But

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:29.080
<v Speaker 1>as my great friend and partner Ben Silverman would say,

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:32.280
<v Speaker 1>if you were going to remake something, would you want

0:45:32.920 --> 0:45:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to remake a piece of ship or would you want

0:45:36.719 --> 0:45:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to remake a great piece of art? I think he

0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:44.000
<v Speaker 1>has a point there, and I think that the key

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:49.719
<v Speaker 1>for us was finding what was uniquely American about the

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:56.360
<v Speaker 1>show and what was also uniquely universal about the setup

0:45:57.000 --> 0:46:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and the characters. So no, I was not. And I

0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:03.520
<v Speaker 1>will tell you that I took a trip actually with

0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Ben Silverman, not to Scotland, but based on my knowledge

0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:13.239
<v Speaker 1>of geography, fairly close down in Ireland. We were down

0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:17.880
<v Speaker 1>in Cork, and I remember going into a little pub

0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:22.320
<v Speaker 1>with Ben in Cork and having a number of people

0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:26.239
<v Speaker 1>who were sitting at the bar turn and look at

0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:32.799
<v Speaker 1>me and acknowledge that they knew who I was from

0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:38.759
<v Speaker 1>our little show from across Upon and how surprised and

0:46:38.760 --> 0:46:43.160
<v Speaker 1>and delighted both Ben and I were with that reception.

0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:47.640
<v Speaker 1>So cheers mate, and uh I hope to see you

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:52.440
<v Speaker 1>there in Scotland soon, maybe on a golf course. Hey Brian,

0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:56.080
<v Speaker 1>this is Eve from some follow Brazil. My question for

0:46:56.120 --> 0:46:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you guys is if you could go back in time

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:02.479
<v Speaker 1>and shoot one all over again, which one would you pick?

0:47:02.920 --> 0:47:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe because you had so much fun shooting it, or

0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:08.920
<v Speaker 1>because you would do something different about the episode, or

0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:11.239
<v Speaker 1>just because you want to go back to that specific

0:47:11.280 --> 0:47:16.359
<v Speaker 1>point in time. So tell me which one. Eve. That

0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:22.280
<v Speaker 1>is a spectacular question. I have thought about this answer

0:47:22.840 --> 0:47:26.879
<v Speaker 1>more than any other question I was asked, because yes, one,

0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:29.960
<v Speaker 1>there are so many different ways that I can go

0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:35.040
<v Speaker 1>with this. I think that where my answer settles in

0:47:35.120 --> 0:47:40.600
<v Speaker 1>this moment would be Jim and Pam's wedding Niagara. First off,

0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:43.480
<v Speaker 1>it was a mess. Let me just say that the

0:47:43.680 --> 0:47:52.160
<v Speaker 1>shooting of that episode was very, very difficult because, as

0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:57.400
<v Speaker 1>we've discussed throughout the podcast, the writing was changing up

0:47:57.520 --> 0:48:01.960
<v Speaker 1>until basically we shot it. We were going very very late,

0:48:02.320 --> 0:48:07.080
<v Speaker 1>long hours on that shoot. But I don't know the

0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:15.240
<v Speaker 1>joy of that episode and shooting shooting that Chris Brown

0:48:15.800 --> 0:48:21.600
<v Speaker 1>walking into the chapel scene, that's where I go. I

0:48:21.640 --> 0:48:26.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know. And and maybe it's now seeing clips on

0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:32.200
<v Speaker 1>YouTube or montages that fans have put together that typically

0:48:32.600 --> 0:48:36.959
<v Speaker 1>include that scene, the look on all of our faces,

0:48:37.200 --> 0:48:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the culmination of that story, and the joy we had

0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:45.400
<v Speaker 1>in shooting it as difficult as it was. If we

0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:47.920
<v Speaker 1>shoot it again, i'd like it to be easier and

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:52.400
<v Speaker 1>not quite so many hours or late at night. But yeah,

0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that for me is it. And you know, I've told

0:48:55.320 --> 0:48:58.520
<v Speaker 1>this story as well to those of you who haven't

0:48:58.560 --> 0:49:03.920
<v Speaker 1>heard it, in that we actually shot at the Maid

0:49:04.000 --> 0:49:08.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Mist at Niagara Falls and my parents happened

0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to be there in New York vacationing with some friends

0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and went and saw John and Jenna and some of

0:49:18.480 --> 0:49:23.759
<v Speaker 1>the other crew members, and they appear in that episode.

0:49:23.800 --> 0:49:27.240
<v Speaker 1>They are the couple that are walking right behind Jim

0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:30.879
<v Speaker 1>and Pam as they get their brain gear to walk

0:49:30.920 --> 0:49:34.040
<v Speaker 1>onto the boat. So maybe I want to go back

0:49:34.360 --> 0:49:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and shoot that episode again because I wish i'd gone there.

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I think next time I would go there and be

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:47.680
<v Speaker 1>there with my folks while we shot that scene. So

0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that's my answer today. Hi Brian, my name is Kristen.

0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:55.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm from Prince George, British Columbia, and I just wanted

0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:58.839
<v Speaker 1>to send in this story. Two years ago, I gave

0:49:58.840 --> 0:50:03.759
<v Speaker 1>birth to my son. His The labor and delivery with

0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:07.279
<v Speaker 1>his birth was quite traumatic, and I struggled with postpartum

0:50:07.320 --> 0:50:12.160
<v Speaker 1>depression afterwards, and I was thinking about ways that I

0:50:12.160 --> 0:50:17.040
<v Speaker 1>could boost my spirits, and I remembered a family member

0:50:17.280 --> 0:50:20.040
<v Speaker 1>had told me when they were struggling with depression, A

0:50:20.120 --> 0:50:26.560
<v Speaker 1>counselor many decades ago had told them to um listen

0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to funny things, watch funny things, just to boost their spirits.

0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Oh, I might as well try it.

0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:40.239
<v Speaker 1>So I um was on my Netflix and looking through

0:50:40.320 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 1>and my husband suggested that I watched The Office. He

0:50:43.760 --> 0:50:48.040
<v Speaker 1>knows that I loved Dinner Party, but um, he doesn't

0:50:48.360 --> 0:50:51.439
<v Speaker 1>have the same love for Dinner Party as I do.

0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:54.279
<v Speaker 1>So he said, oh, I don't care what you watch.

0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:56.839
<v Speaker 1>If it's going to make you laugh, then you should

0:50:56.880 --> 0:51:02.720
<v Speaker 1>watch it. So I turned on and I probably watched

0:51:02.760 --> 0:51:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Dinner Party every day for five months. Even in my

0:51:08.600 --> 0:51:12.000
<v Speaker 1>lowest days, it could still bring a smile to my face.

0:51:12.560 --> 0:51:19.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just really grateful for those tiny moments of

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:23.520
<v Speaker 1>just happiness that The Office had brought me in those

0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:29.960
<v Speaker 1>really dark days. And I'm fully recovered from the depression now,

0:51:30.000 --> 0:51:35.719
<v Speaker 1>but I still um watched The Office diligently, and I'm

0:51:35.719 --> 0:51:40.520
<v Speaker 1>just very thankful for it. So thank you for going

0:51:40.560 --> 0:51:45.040
<v Speaker 1>through and interviewing everyone. It's just been wonderful to listen

0:51:45.080 --> 0:51:49.879
<v Speaker 1>to and hear new stories. So just thank you for

0:51:49.920 --> 0:51:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the the joy you've brought to my life. Kristen. Thank

0:51:55.200 --> 0:52:00.080
<v Speaker 1>you for sharing your story with me and with all

0:52:00.080 --> 0:52:06.840
<v Speaker 1>of us. I've said now many times that the greatest

0:52:07.040 --> 0:52:13.200
<v Speaker 1>gift that the Office has given me is well stories

0:52:13.239 --> 0:52:18.880
<v Speaker 1>like that. You know, we we truly felt like we

0:52:18.920 --> 0:52:22.719
<v Speaker 1>were just a bunch of idiots, and we were, let's

0:52:22.800 --> 0:52:27.360
<v Speaker 1>be clear, a bunch of idiots trying to make people laugh.

0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:33.160
<v Speaker 1>And when I hear stories like that that this show,

0:52:33.360 --> 0:52:38.640
<v Speaker 1>this band of idiots have brought comfort during a difficult time,

0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:44.480
<v Speaker 1>well it it truly well, it clearly takes my my

0:52:44.600 --> 0:52:47.719
<v Speaker 1>words away and my breath away. I thank you for

0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:53.320
<v Speaker 1>sharing your story. I am so glad that we marry

0:52:53.320 --> 0:52:56.600
<v Speaker 1>A bunch of idiots were able to give you some

0:52:56.760 --> 0:53:00.200
<v Speaker 1>comfort in a difficult and dark time. And I I

0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:06.279
<v Speaker 1>give credit mostly to Greg Daniels about this, because look,

0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:10.879
<v Speaker 1>this was a comedy meant to make people laugh. They

0:53:10.920 --> 0:53:15.040
<v Speaker 1>say laughter is the best medicine, right. But I think

0:53:15.080 --> 0:53:20.359
<v Speaker 1>that the depth of the show, which relates to the

0:53:20.440 --> 0:53:26.920
<v Speaker 1>central message of the show that Greg explains very clearly

0:53:26.960 --> 0:53:30.200
<v Speaker 1>with the last line of the show that there's beauty

0:53:30.200 --> 0:53:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and ordinary things, isn't that kind of the point and

0:53:35.000 --> 0:53:44.359
<v Speaker 1>that hope, that idea, I think is um it is comforting, right,

0:53:44.880 --> 0:53:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it is for me. So thank you for your courage

0:53:48.680 --> 0:53:52.759
<v Speaker 1>to to want to tell me that story. Thank you

0:53:53.320 --> 0:53:57.120
<v Speaker 1>for that because I consider that a gift to me.

0:53:57.520 --> 0:54:00.480
<v Speaker 1>We all consider that a gift to all of us.

0:54:01.280 --> 0:54:05.960
<v Speaker 1>So thank you and yes, I'm glad. I'm glad that

0:54:06.040 --> 0:54:10.720
<v Speaker 1>you're better now and still watching Hello Office, deep dive,

0:54:11.200 --> 0:54:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm not alone in the world, and saying

0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that The Office has truly helped me through life. I'm

0:54:16.680 --> 0:54:18.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty three years old and I grew up in foster

0:54:18.840 --> 0:54:22.400
<v Speaker 1>care in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I've never truly felt like

0:54:22.480 --> 0:54:25.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of representation of youth and care and TV.

0:54:26.760 --> 0:54:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Some of the trauma and hardships that take place while

0:54:29.680 --> 0:54:33.400
<v Speaker 1>growing up in the foster care system manifest resilient and

0:54:33.520 --> 0:54:38.160
<v Speaker 1>unique individuals that sometimes have a difficulty fitting in and

0:54:38.280 --> 0:54:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they can't relate to their peers. It

0:54:40.760 --> 0:54:42.880
<v Speaker 1>means the world to have a character out there that

0:54:42.960 --> 0:54:46.600
<v Speaker 1>has some shread of resemblance to compare to the writing

0:54:46.640 --> 0:54:50.799
<v Speaker 1>of Aaron's character, and Ellie's performance felt accurate to my

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:54.799
<v Speaker 1>experience and truly made me feel seen. Thank you for

0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:58.600
<v Speaker 1>all that you do on your podcast and for carrying

0:54:58.680 --> 0:55:01.799
<v Speaker 1>the essence of beauty in the small things throughout your

0:55:01.840 --> 0:55:05.000
<v Speaker 1>podcast from the show, and for being part of a

0:55:05.040 --> 0:55:08.600
<v Speaker 1>show that brought so many people comfort. Seana, thank you

0:55:09.360 --> 0:55:12.239
<v Speaker 1>for calling in. You know there's a phrase that you

0:55:12.760 --> 0:55:20.000
<v Speaker 1>used that I wrote down resilient and unique individuals who

0:55:20.080 --> 0:55:25.080
<v Speaker 1>sometimes have difficulty fitting in. And you talk about that

0:55:26.239 --> 0:55:28.880
<v Speaker 1>in terms of children who have gone through the foster

0:55:28.960 --> 0:55:32.360
<v Speaker 1>care system. But isn't that all of us? In a way,

0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the world has a way of making resilient and unique

0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:41.120
<v Speaker 1>individuals who sometimes have difficulty fitting in. I don't think

0:55:41.160 --> 0:55:43.960
<v Speaker 1>that I could have described many of the characters on

0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the Office any better than that. And maybe that after

0:55:48.960 --> 0:55:54.480
<v Speaker 1>two years of searching for the answer of why the

0:55:54.520 --> 0:56:01.640
<v Speaker 1>show resonates with people, now, maybe that maybe that's the answer.

0:56:02.719 --> 0:56:09.279
<v Speaker 1>People feel seen because these characters in the Office are seen.

0:56:10.320 --> 0:56:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but thank you, Shanna, thank you for

0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:30.440
<v Speaker 1>calling in. Wow incredible, Thank you all so much. It

0:56:30.560 --> 0:56:34.279
<v Speaker 1>got a little emotional there for a bit, but I

0:56:34.320 --> 0:56:37.480
<v Speaker 1>want to thank you all well for sharing your lives

0:56:38.120 --> 0:56:42.120
<v Speaker 1>with me, with us really, and the fact that this

0:56:42.160 --> 0:56:46.960
<v Speaker 1>show has reached so many people from so many places

0:56:47.200 --> 0:56:51.480
<v Speaker 1>around the world, it's just incredible. Look, I'm a I'm

0:56:51.480 --> 0:56:55.040
<v Speaker 1>a kid from Georgia, That's who I am, and so

0:56:55.440 --> 0:57:01.160
<v Speaker 1>to start there and to now just be casually talking

0:57:01.200 --> 0:57:06.160
<v Speaker 1>to people from scot London, Brazil and the UK, Argentina,

0:57:06.320 --> 0:57:09.440
<v Speaker 1>it is a dream come true. For me, the world

0:57:10.280 --> 0:57:16.280
<v Speaker 1>truly is a small place. Thank you so much for

0:57:16.400 --> 0:57:21.080
<v Speaker 1>making my holidays so special. I hope that this show

0:57:21.160 --> 0:57:26.200
