• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was saying this earlier to me today. She's like, baby,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with middle of a road. I was like,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: what are you talking about. She's like, when you strive
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to be too famous, things can go wrong just by
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: one thing you say. But when you strive to be
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: just you know, do you man? Make do what you
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: do best?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, Donald, I agree. And also, don't throw freak offs because.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Watch it. But I'm not.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Saying anything other than I learned what a freak off was.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that freak offs were a thing. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: have so many questions where Daniel will have to cut
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it all if we go into it. But I just
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: want to say I'm being educated.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Can we get a can we get a quick overview
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: of what a freak off is?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: No, but keep it one hundred man, I get it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Let's on me talk about this in a way that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Daniel won't have to cut right, Okay, one is a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: freak off Donald.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: First of all, there's levels to it, and I've ever
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: been to one. No, That's what I'm trying to say.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: There's levels to it, and I am on a certain level,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and then there's a whole another level.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that there was nothing about it. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: didn't know there was a freak off level.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I didn't know about the freak off level either, And
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I like to think I'm well connected. I now know
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that I am not.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You have never been to a freak cough.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming I've never been to a freak off, Daniel,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: have you ever been to a freak off? I think
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I left. I'm sure I left early.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I'm still not sure what a freak off. I assume
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a freak off is. People try and outdo one another
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: with sexual acts so that people.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Are like, WHOA.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I thought what I was doing was crazy. What you're
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: doing is next level. And this is a public space,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know, think of it like think of it like,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: think of it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Like it's like a break, like step it, step up.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Step up the street.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I was he gonna say step up. I was gonna say, like.

• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Chris Brown?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Ok, it's like the dunking competition, but with sexual acts.

  Speaker 1: of trouble. Holy shit, I don't think out of shill.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've just been writing so much about it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about any of this. I really
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: know very little about Puffy, but I've just been reading,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: as I'm sure a lot of people have. It's insane
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: what's been going on over it just.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Goes deeper, Like it just is deeper than we thought
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: it was. That's all, Like, no, I don't know anything,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you don't know anything like that just shows we don't know.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But they were so many charges.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's no joke at this point.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I will say this man for a really long
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it's it's heartbreaking in a lot of ways too, because
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Puff was a hero to a lot of young men,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, you know what I mean. And
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: if this is the way it goes down, holy shit. Wow.

• 8:00
  Speaker 3: always disappointing when you find out people that you previously
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: looked up to are monsters. You could say the same
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: thing about Bill Cosby. He was America's dad. He was
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: also a monster, and it's like, that's tough.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: This one came out of the blue, thought, I mean,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: just because I don't really know much about Puffy, to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: be honest, I really don't. I know he was, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: know he was, I know all this like how he
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: influenced hip hop and everything, and I know very little,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: but I this, this just came out of like all
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of a sudden. This this is I mean, the articles
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: are everywhere and they're and they're so crazy, and people

  Speaker 1: time you probably hear in the cellar in New York City,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: it's fucking great. This was like a kind of a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: big swing with no rehearsal in front of millions of people.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: It's either gonna it's gonna go one of two ways.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: One way, you're sweating bullets.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Bullets dude, we get backstage, you'll see when you see this,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: like they built this whole hospital set and we didn't.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I thought it was like we're going there and the Emmys,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you know, like anything. You get up and you get
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: at the microphone and you each say a sentence and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: then we get backstage and they're like, okay, so when
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you guys, when the curtain goes up, these these extras
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: are gonna run through with a stretcher and and uh
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and you guys will come in and then you're gonna
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: come to these marks and then then they start giving
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: us like blocking and there it's like a countdown. I'm like, wait,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: what what's happening with a stretcher? Like all this shit's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: happening backstage. I can see Mindy Kaling starting and be like,
• 14:27

• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Fifer's cool as a cucumber, cool as a cucumber.

  Speaker 1: was so chill, too chill for me, because he was
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: trying to have a small talk mindy I can see
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: was kind of like, whoa, there's a stretcher, there's blocking.

  Speaker 1: We should have come to rehearsal. And I'm in the middle,
• 15:05

  Speaker 4: that's like you. So I really appreciated Bad Monkey. You
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: actually play a character that's like you. That is my
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: true or at least your Hollywood reputation.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my true self. Lazy stupid guy.

  Speaker 1: don't have to know you're good when people come up
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to you and you're you must be so recognized all
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the time because the show is one of the most
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: beloved shows of all time. Do they are they surprised
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: when you like form normal sentences and aren't a simpleton?
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: I've little sometimes for sure. Yeah, you know, It's one
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: of these things where and I don't I don't know
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: you guys experience it, and I certainly don't want to
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I don't want to overstate the case. But you know
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: what I say to people is The Office like we
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: were a hit, right, Like we were. We were big
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: on NBC and people watched and and you know, nominated
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: for the stuff and in some cases one but I
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: don't know of another show and television that actually once
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: we were done, we became much bigger, wow, like all
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: through you know, the streaming and the pandemic and the
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Netflix and the whole thing. And it was sort of
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: like we've been done four or five years and and
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: and then I started getting mobbed in the airports, you know,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: like it was this weird thing that is weird. It
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: sort of continued to grow, you know, way after I
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: think a whole I think there's.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Like maybe seven shows and you guys all came around
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the same time. That grew strictly from And I was
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: talking about this earlier with our producers from DVD. Man,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: if it wasn't for DVD sales back in the day,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: man and The Office being the box set being on DVD,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: it's right that's how people found you guys later on,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: like you wasn't on Netflix. Well, we were looking at
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: we were looking at our notes and stuff like that,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and DVD, you guys weren't popular in the first season.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: It wasn't I would say, like season three, Oh sure,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: you guys took off, right, Yeah, DVD is what really
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: helped out.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: If you ask me, do you to some extent, But
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think more significantly back then it was, uh,
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: it was the video iPod, Like we launched in right
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: as we started, and then there was the video iPod,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: and you know, our our mutual bosses over there at
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: NBC Universal they put us probably as like an experiment,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: like well you can have this little show for free
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: or whatever. Oh and then you know, you started being
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: able to download shows right back in the day a
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: dollar ninety nine or two ninety nine a show or whatever.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: And we were like in the middle of the second
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: season and suddenly those lists started coming out like they
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: have now, like most streamed or whatever, and we were
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: like number one on that. It was like, wait, how
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: did that? What? Who's you know? And I think it
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: was young people with iPods that you know, found the
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: show sort of subversive and you know, different that they
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: could appeal to, and that's kind of where yeah, the
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: success of like our original run started it.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Yet I just remember having that box set and at night,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: me and my now wife playing season one through five.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: We were still making Scrubs at the time, but to
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: go to bed, we would play season one through five
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: in the box set and just thinking, holy shit, how
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: have I been missing? I was on NBC with you guys,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: How have I been missing this show? And being so
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: fucking phenomenal?
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I think another generation also just found it continues to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: find it, you know. I think it is the streaming
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: platform Netflix that it's all now how we're on peacocky Yeah,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: but whenever it was on Netflix, right yeah? And so
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it just because it which allowed a whole new generation
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: of young people to find it. And it's so subversive
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. It's so on PC in
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Yes, And I think that there's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of young people who are like, oh, like this,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: this can't kind of show couldn't really be on in
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: this way anywhere?
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Right? Right?
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Isn't it sort of refreshing?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I mean I was watching some episodes on the plane
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: because it's kind of on one of my go to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I want you to know, you're one of my go
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to plane shows. When they when they have the office
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: on the on the plane, that's what I watch because
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna laugh.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I know I'm gonna laugh.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: And also I love about it is like there is
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a rough season arc obviously, but you can kind of
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: just bop in at any moment and you're gonna laugh
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: at whatever is happening.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Well that that's actually a big discovery. So this is
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: it's a little deep, and I don't I think meta
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: is the wrong word. But the show was built for
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: streaming before streaming exists. And I'll tell you what I mean.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: He Greg Daniels, our creator, He wrote a lot of
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: like three and four episode arcs, right, So it's like
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Idris Elba comes in to be this temporary boss and
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: he's there three or four episodes, and then he goes,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Jim goes and takes a job at the other paper.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Come and this lasts for a few episodes and it
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: goes or this relationship or this whatever. And so I
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: think that people, you know, it's twenty two minutes if
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: you're watching it or whatever, and it's like, Okay, we
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: can watch three episodes, have a little story, and then
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: be like, okay, we'll pick that up later. I think
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: some people have said that, but I think to your
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: point about the young people, I always said the subversive thing.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I think that sort of a new discovery for me
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: is that the relationship between an unreasonable boss who makes
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: his employees unreasonable embarrassing things is closely mirrored to an
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: unreasonable teacher who makes their students do unreasonable things while
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: sitting next to people who you don't choose to sit
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: next to, and you have projects and all of that.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: And I think that relatability for high school, college, even
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: junior high, Like, I think that's a real, real thing.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: And also dealing with people who like Steve Carrell, never
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: says the right thing, and everyone in their life has
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: someone who's older who doesn't say the right thing, and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: they're and they're trying to educate them and why they
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: can't say that. But watching him fumble through, I mean,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: he's so fucking perfect in that role that.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Every everyone that's nice.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean tell us about sorry, let's go back
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to the very beginning and just tell us about because
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I always like to hear audition stories.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: How did you get this this amazing role? Well, so
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you're a Northwestern graduate, aren't you?
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: So I went I went to no. So I went
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: to northwesterns. Like they're the Cherub program.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's for people who don't know. That's like their
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: high school summer program.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which is like one year between junior and senior year.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: And I did that and that was where for me
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: because one of the things that I talk about people
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: when I'm talking to them is like, when for you
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: did it become like, oh, this is what I want
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: to do as opposed to a hobby. And maybe that's
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: because for me, like it was like, oh, I'm going
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: to do this play in school, I'm gonna, you know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: audition for this or whatever. But I just felt like
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: it was an activity or I don't know what helped
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: me get into college. But then I'll be a lawyer
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: or whatever. And that was the moment for me where
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, like creating a character and objectives
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: and all of the physical and I'm gonna do voice.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: And I was like, Oh, this is like a thing.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: And that's where I decided. I went to SMU in Dallas,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: and I think the thing for me, which I don't
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: know if it's unique or not, but I never I'm
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: curious about you guys, like I never thought truly, I
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: never thought about film and television, Like I watched television
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: and I watched movies, but there was a disassociation for
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: it was like I'm a theater guy. Like that's what
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: I'm doing, and that was sort of all I wanted
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: to do. I didn't have any and it wasn't like
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: I thought I couldn't or I don't know. There just
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: was like a consciousness thing for me, Like I never
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: was like I'm going to audition for this commercial or
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: this TV show or whatever. So I was doing theater
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: and then visited Los Angeles and well, and also lived
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: doing eight shows a week in the theater and like
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: this is not easy for the rest of my life.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: So I was primarily based in Minneapolis, and I would
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: say that, you know, there's the Guthrie Theater there, which
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: is like a huge regional theater. And I was traveling
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: around and doing shows, touring some of New York and
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Chicago and San Francisco and Dallas and you know, sort
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: of doing that and I was getting jobs, and then
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: was like, okay, I think I think I want to
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: for I just fell in love with Los Angeles, like
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: the weather, like the city, like city outre nineties in
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Westwood at a coffee bean, was like, wow, this. You
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: don't get this in Minneapolis. And so you know, I
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: struggled doing shows for not a lot of people, or
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: doing a lot of shows.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: When I how did you make a living when you
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: moved out to La.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: So well, this is my point, which I was a
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: bunch of excuses. And then to say I met the
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: folks on the office just a couple of months after
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I moved. Oh wow, So I.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Don't they want to put a disclaimer to the audience
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: that don't do that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: But that doesn't happen.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: It doesn't, It really does. It doesn't. But I will
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: say this, and this is kind of a new discovery
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: for me, which is I I think the fact that
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I hadn't been here for that show really helped me
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: because I was so I wasn't like, there was no nerves.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: I wasn't nervous, and there's sort of every step along
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: the way, I was like, well, of course this is
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: going to happen, Like I didn't have that like self
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: doubt or like feeling like this is the most important
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: thing if I don't get it, like I only.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Thought even though you moved here, you would knew you
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: would still be like, holy shit, this could be life changing.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: No, it's weird. I don't know why. I can't really
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: explain why, but the but I was but that that
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: part was certainly lucky. But think about this too, though.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: When we started right, so I was hired in let
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: me get the math right. The pilot was like February
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: of two thousand and four, between February of two thousand
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: and four and September or you know, August when we
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: came back to work of two thousand and five, so
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: like over a year and a half. We shot six episodes.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: So when Donald was talking about like we were, we
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: only shot six. You know, we shot the pilot and
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: then we shot five more and then it didn't air
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: until you know, like spring of five. So it was
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: over a year that it aired after we shot the pilot,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: So it had start right, It wasn't it very slow,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: So it wasn't they hit off the again.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: NBC is very you know what shout out to NBC
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: back in the day, they don't do that no more.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: They don't do that no more. Well, I mean Extended Family.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: We shot one season. It took us two years to
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: make that show, and we went to a strike.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: And they don't and the network doesn't have patients for
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you not doing well now now back.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Then they didn't. Back then, if you had ten million viewers,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: they were like, you know what.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Sel Yeah, well now too.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think they got much patience if you have
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: ten million.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I was just saw Rob Reiner on a clip of
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Rob Reiner talking about Seinfeld. I didn't know that he
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: was a producer of Seinfeld, which he is, and he
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: was talking about how it was not a big hit
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: at all, in fact that he had to go beg
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: beg beg them to keep it on the.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Air because the first whatever five or six didn't do
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: very well.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, our stories are very similar in this regard. So
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: I am told. What I am told is that the
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: only reason we got to make more than a pilot.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: They have the what do you call them, the testing Yes,
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: so they bring people in and they have people test
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: and it did not test well except for one room,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: which was they had one room which were the assistants
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: at NBC. So like the people who were like secretaries
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: and low level development people, they sort of put them
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: in like okay, why don't you weigh in? And those
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: young people liked it, and I was told the same
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: thing happened with Seinfeld. So they decided to give it,
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: give us a chance.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: It's amazing when you watch it now to go like,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: how could you know any there's so many stories in
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Hollywood of course, of like, how could you not think
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: this is genius? It was so it.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Didn't make it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: But also it is so unique. It is so unique.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Obviously there had been the British Office, right, so we
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: had those of us. I loved that, and plenty of
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: us had a had a frame of reference. And I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: remember thinking, how the hell? I mean, Steve Correll's genius,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of course, but how is he gonna top what Ricky
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Gervais is doing. It's so it's so unique, and it's
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: so it.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Was also so also it was so graphic, and I
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: mean and dirty, like the ship he said yes on
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: HBO was like they were going to they were going
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: to get away with that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: And also it was so English of course, so how
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: how does this get americanized? And and and I was so,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and then it does how many episodes actually reflect the
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: office episodes or the British only the pilot.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Only the pilot, yes, which which Greg Daniel said, which
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I learned this much later. He did that so that
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: he wouldn't get notes from the network on the script.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: So what he did was he spent the time on
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: the cast, on the characters, on the world. So he
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: considered himself like world building of what dunder Mifflin was
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: and the relation, you know, like where everybody sat in there.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: It was all very planned out in terms of the
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: type of characters they were and how they would interact
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: and you know, who they would associate with or not
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: associate with, or be forced to be next to someone
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: like Angela and I who really didn't didn't belong. But
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: there was a barrier in front of the only barrier
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: in the whole office in between us and all of
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: that stuff.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a set, right, wasn't it a real building?
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: So the so we moved, Oh, the first six episodes,
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: there was there's an old God you guys, I'm sure
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: wouldn't know it. It was. I think it's was called
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: like Culver Studios.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: It was like it's yeah, it's still there.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Our shut did it's like down.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: We shot the last episode of the season of Scrubs there.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we ate lunch on the sound stage. And
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: so the production offices for that building is under Befalin,
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: so upstairs when you go upstairs and like where the
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: production offices would be, that that was our set. And
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: then correct said the first six and then everybody said
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: to him like we can't sustain this, like we're on
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: a second floor, like there's nowhere to move around. And
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: so he he was like, okay, but it's not changing.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Like there was so much that was like about realism
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: and really, you know, he wanted everything like ultra reel.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: So he recreated that space exactly exactly clay on us
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: on the middle of a sound stage out in Van
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Nuy's panoramic city. And the only thing he did, and
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: it's something crazy like this, like this is not an exaggeration.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: He added eighteen inches to the conference room because he
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: want he was he was the camera people were like,
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: you have to give us somewhere to stand, like we can't,
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: like we can't fit you know, a cast of sixteen
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: and you know, two camera guys and a boom Mike
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: guy and all that in this space, and he was like, well,
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: we can't change it because it's been a stat you know.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So I was completely fooled now where because I
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: always had it in my mind that it was in
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: that building that we see.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Where's that building?
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: So that building is is? So that is the exterior
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: of the Sataquoi. I mean it's on Satokoy is what
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: it's called? Way, oh, Chandler Valley Studios. Yes, and yes,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: that the exterior. There were two two independent sound stages,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: and the exterior of one of the sound stages. That
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: is it? That is that is right?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Wow, it must become it must have become a tourist destination.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: It is. Yeah, yeah, I mean I.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Was so fooled by the way I my whole life.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: My whole life, my whole life, my whole life, my
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: whole time as a audience member, I believed you were.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is so silly, because I'm a filmmaker
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: and that is what I do for a living. But
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I was convinced that you were in that actual building
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: in the valley somewhere.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: No, well, I mean sort of, but not. It didn't
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: look like that yees.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: So, I mean that's the the warehouse I could tell
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: was a sound stage because that was kind of just
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: like a sound stage.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I couldn't pull it. I couldn't pull you
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: on that.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: But yes, no, I mean the warehouse is kind of
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: like what if we just put it in the sound stage?
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah no, but he he you know, what do
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: you call it? Drop drop ceilings? With the with the
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: tile I'm like gesturing. I don't know if we're in
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: on video, but you know, the.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: The it looks like you're pushing DJ down.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like you can put, you can push, you
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: can put. Yeah, it looks like you're raising the roof
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: up down up down. Uh, you know the ceiling tiles move. Yeah.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: So like no, they put that in so, you know,
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: on even on the sound stage, because he wanted it
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: to look the same. He wanted it to feel constricted
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: and and tight. Let's take a break.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back after these fine words.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: You know, we always get asked this on Scrubs, tell
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: us about not about the improv, how the improv was handled.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: You know, we on Scrubs, you know we sort of
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Bill Lawrence's rule was I definitely want it good as
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: written and don't and make sure you don't skip that.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I want, I definitely want to have a great version
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: as written and then time permitting, you guys can fuck
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: around and a lot of funny stuff came out of that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Was that the same kind of vibe as you guys?
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, how was explained to us which and
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: maybe you're just now wanting to share this, how was
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: explained to us, right, is that we still have mega
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: conglomerate studios and ge or Comcast or whoever he was
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: the remember, oh gee he was it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: That was the one man. But we but we had
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: left us in with spaceship. I'm just gonna.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Go on he uh no. So the scripts had to
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: be approved, like someone had to say it was okay
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: to say whatever the words were. And so they always
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: wanted us to say what the words were because they
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: wanted to make sure that we had a version that
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: was approved. But we all one hundred percent of the time,
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: we we changed and they started doing what did they
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: call a candy bag, especially for the little like direct
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: to the camera, you know, like you're being interviewed stuff.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: We would have like eight versions of those, which essentially
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: was delivering the same idea, either opinion on what was
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: going on, or sometimes it would be like, well, we
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: can't really decide how Kevin would feel about whatever, so
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: give us both and then we'll sort of put it
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: all together. You know. Would he be delighted by this
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: or would he not understand it, or would he you know,
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: like whatever. So they would sort of build things, build
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: things in that in that way. Yeah, and that's fun.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Those direct to the camera things. You can just see
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: where there was so much opportunity there to riff where
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: you could be like, you know, because then you can
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: you can very easily get what's written. Okay, I got it,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I got what's right. Now let me just go off
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: and just see where my brain goes.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, totally. Yeah, it was Uh, that was pretty special.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: But yeah, we we you know, the amount of whatever
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: improv got into an episode obviously just varied per per
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: you know, per episode, but but we were always given
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: an opportunity even even the scenes too.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Was anybody brave enough to go against Steve Man?
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: I mean it was really hard, and it's all it
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: was also hard just because of the structure, like he
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: you know, he's you know, especially like I mean, you
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: think about sort of the quote unquote famous scenes in
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: the conference room. So he's standing, you're sitting. There's sort
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: of no, I mean, you're already out of power imbalance there.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: And then you have him who might be truly, like,
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: I honestly believe this the greatest improviser ever. And the
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: reason I say that is because not only is he funny,
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: not only can he come up with any thing in
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: the moment, but what he does, which without naming any
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: names other people have trouble with, is he's always on story,
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: like on topic. Like he's never going you know, he's
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: never saying something that's like, well, Michael wouldn't say that,
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: or but he also understands like what the whole of
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: the script, the individual episode or the season that we're on,
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: like where he's trying to get and he's just yeah,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: I mean he's.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: I love watching clips of the bloopers. I mean, I
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: know scrubs fans love watching scrub yeahs. But when I
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: saw recently, my Instagram knows now that I love office bloopers,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: and I saw see where he was explaining his home
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: entertainment system to Jim and watching his Carrell try and
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: he couldn't get through it. It was so funny watching
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: him not be able to get through his improv.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Probably the closest, you know, some of your audience may
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: have heard this before, but probably the closest to like
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: standing standing up to him, which wasn't even standing up
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: to him was if you remember the episode which, by
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: the way, can you even say the title of this
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: episode these days on television? But gay witch hunt? When
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: when when he kisses Oscar? That was improved? That was
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: the kiss? The kiss? Where was h r? Yes, listen
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: is the kiss?
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: When this happened, Oscar had such a lawsuit.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Everybody lawsuit against more than anyone I know, but everybody outed.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: He was outed in the freaking room.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Brian, Brian, is there anyone that works there that doesn't
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: have a lawsuit against under.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: No, No, there's Hilrius. The lawsuit every every which way,
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: at least against Steve and probably several characters as well. Yeah,
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, god, God bless Greg you know he You know,
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: we had such a huge cast and it never got smaller,
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: It just kept getting bigger. He would find a different
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: energy that he wanted to bring in from Ellie Kemper
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: or Ed Helms. You know that would just sort of change,
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: you know, he would sort of add that ingredient in,
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: it would change. But you know it was it was
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: an office where everyone at one point in time should
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: have been fired, like Kevin really like he was fired
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: in the last episode.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: You guys had to One thing that's unique about the
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: office that people weren't actors might not realize is, you know,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: when we do our scenes on scrubs, we don't have
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: to be there when people are doing their other stuff.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: You guys are one hundred percent of the time background.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: What was that like, I mean what, that's a very
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: that's a very new that's a very unique situation, and
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: you have hours where you're just background.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, And that was again, that was a little bit
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: for me. I mean I I you know, I had
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: booked a couple of other you know, smaller jobs or whatever.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: But you know, this was happened very quickly out of
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: the gate, and I think early on it was my
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: expectation that this was how it was because I had
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: come from theater and if you were rehearsing something, you're
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: always there and then you know, maybe they spend some
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: extra time on some other scenes. But no, it was
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: you know now, it really was like everybody had a
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: schedule of the number one on the call sheet, you know,
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: because because everybody was there every day all day twelve fourteen,
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: you know, plus hours. I mean we were doing we
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: were doing like sixty hours a week, and you know,
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: unless Michael had to go see Jan in New York
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: or whatever, especially early on, like we were just all there.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Was a Crossford puzzles, what was your secret?
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: You know, well we were you know, we were doing
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: thirty episodes there for a while a year, so I
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: was paying bills. Uh, Like we were paying bills. There
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: wasn't a whole People always ask about, like what were
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: the pranks? Like we weren't really pranky, but we did
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: have Uh, I don't even know what it was. It
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: wasn't It wasn't Google, I don't know, AOL instant messenger
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: or something so we could like pop something up computers
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: and the computers worked.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like that would a gutten a couple
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: of people fire. Definitely I would have been kicked.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I would have been fired. Look at this totally inappropriate means.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: What did I do wrong? It's just it's just a
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: freaking egg quip that must be because you're like you're like,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: oh my god.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: As much as you love the show and you're grateful
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: to be on the show, at a certain point you're like,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I have to get out of this.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I'm in the background and you don't need me. Is
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: there is there a Brian lookalike?
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: The con.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Well, we did, we were, we did joke things. Things
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: started changing a little bit as we went on, I
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: mean ten years that early on it was like, so, guys, wait,
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: no one ever goes to the bathroom, Like, no one
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: has never in the other room making a cup of
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: coffee while this is going on, Like, I really think
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: Kevin should be somewhere.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin have the ship mindy and uh and and
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: no fact they had it lucky because they were in
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: a different room. And so did the dude Creed, right did.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: We No, so Creed was in our So here is
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: here's the here's the little nerdy insider info, right because
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: we Greg had come, not had come directly, but he
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: had worked on SNL and he was really wanting collaboration.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: So like I directed. There were a lot of writers.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing. Anyone who was in that other office,
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: they were writers. They were upstairs writing, so like Paul Lieberstein,
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: Toby Mindy, Kayling, bj Novak, there were the writers, so
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: they didn't have to be there until like a conference
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: room or you know, they would drift in for some
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: important you know, group scene or whatever. But yeah, they were,
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: they would, they would go up to the writers. Paul Liberstein,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: he's one.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: He's so good. I mean, they were every every everyone
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: is so good. But he was also one of the
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: main writers of the show.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, and he was actually when Greg went to launch,
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: because Greg went with Mike Sure. Mike Sure was a
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: writer who played Mos. By the way, he was not
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: there very much at all. Yeah, when Greg Greg launched
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Parks and Rec. And when he launched Parks and Rec,
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: Paul Liberstein actually was showrunner for a period of time.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's You guys have some great directors, man,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: like your directors. I'm sure some of them.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: Some of them for sure.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: But then some of them are like freaking winners.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: And oh yeah, I mean you mean the guest appearance
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: directors didn't Yeah what was that about? Like he just
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: loved the show and they were like I wanted to,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: I want to, But.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: They were definitely coming for you, Brian, that's exactly there.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: The rumor was, and I it's been so long I
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: was told, I believe God, I'm like making excuses that
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: JJ Abrams wanted to direct a season and Greg Greg
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: preferred the model where we had a different director every week.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: So J. J. Abrams came in. Harold Ramis did ye,
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know, four or five, and some big ones didn't.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: It was always interesting. It was just always interesting to
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: see the director's names. It would be like what they
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: got his.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: Doing right right?
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Ken Whittingham directed, Yeah, some of the same direct I'm.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Curious, maybe Dane, you could ask chat Cheapt. This is
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: a good chat cheapt question. Which directors both directed scrubs
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: and and uh.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: In the office. I know Ken Winningham was one.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: Ken you must have had Koppus.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe once or twice.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: No, we never had Paul.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, you never had Paul. That's surprises.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Let's take a break.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these fine words. All right,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about your chili for a second. Did
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: you have anything to do with I mean, did this
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: come out of the blue or do you really make
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: a good chili?
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: Well, you're talking about there was the episode.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: I'm with the episode when it first.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I know you made it, you wrote a book, but
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: but like both like.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: To the writers that writers, yeah, and you know I
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: I do, so I do think. All right, here here's
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: my here's my cheeseball pitch for you. Right. That the
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: reason that people respond to the show, and particularly like
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: during a global pandemic, right, is the last line of
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: the show. I'm getting serious with you for a second,
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: but the last line of the show that Greg Daniels
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: wrote the last episode. So he wrote it. Pam says,
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: you know that She's asked like, why would they make
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: a documentary of his paper company or whatever? And her
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: answer is there's beauty and ordinary things. Isn't that kind
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: of the point. And so for me, when you look
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: at sort of the totality everybody, you know, a lot
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: of people are mean. There's Michael says, inappropriate things you
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: could sue, but like there is sort of a genuine
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: kindness and a celebration of very small moments. Right. It's
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: like the opposite of twenty four or whatever, you know,
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: some big spy show or whatever. And so to me,
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: part of that chili thing is that it is like
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: this guy does this one thing that many people in
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: America around the world do. They make a great chili.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: They're proud of it. They are celebrated by their friends
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: and family doing it, and this is the thing that
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: gives them great pride on the weekends and maybe goes
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: to chili festivals and participates in competitions, and he believes
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: this is the thing he does best. Now it's a comedy,
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: so he spills it on the floor and you know,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: there's genius physical comedy by me whatever. Yes, but the
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: idea is like that celebration. To me, that is in
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: some ways like because people talk about it all the time,
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: but it is like a physical embodiment of that thing
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: that the show is trying to sell break, which is
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: like just a teeny victory or you know, a great
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: thing that an ordinary person does.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: So that led to you genuinely getting into.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: Chili, it did? I mean it started as a joke.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest, right, you were associated with chili because
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of the show. Yeah, Like I made like I had
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: never made chili before. The people I associate you with chili?
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: Oh one hun, do you go.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: To cookoffs and stuff like, oh yeah, he's made a book.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: You wrote a bullets.
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: A cookbook about chili.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: But did you write the cookbook about chili?
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, so you must have collected collected yes, yes, yes,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: so I put some of my but I made it one.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Let's take a shout out to it. Seriously good chili
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: cookbook chili recipes, all right, yes.
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: One hundred and seventy seven. Well, actually, I'll tell you
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: that my funniest interaction was I was traveling, I was alone.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: I was in a hotel bar, sitting there and like
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: the hat on like he and I just finished eating
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: and the bartender like it had been cleared away, and
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: the bartender comes by and sets something down in front
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: of me. I don't even really look or process. I
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: just sort of look up and I'm like, oh no, no,
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: I've already eaten, and he kind of leans down. It's
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: like the fifties, the forties, I don't know what kind
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: of movie, but he just kind of leans on the
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: bar and he's like, this is from the woman at
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: the end of the bar, and it's yes, it's a
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: bowl of chili. Like that is what I don't get
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: set a drake, I get like bowls of chili.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. That's what happens. People associate you with it,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: and it's like a it was smart of you to
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: lean into that, because have you become good at making
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: chili at this point?
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Well now yeah, no, I like and I do
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: really ENLiGHT I do really like it. Well, and that's
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: where the inspiration for the book came is. I got
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: invited to and this thing is not like a couple
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: of years. It's now I don't know how many, it's
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: over fifty years. Actually happens at the end of September.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not going this year, but the World Championship Chili
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: Cookoff you have to win like your state region. It's
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and so I went there,
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: got to know them. They asked me to judge the thing,
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: and then I was I was like sort of blown
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: away by oh wait, this is chicken, this is white,
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: this is ver day like a green chili, and all
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: this type of stuff. And so we sort of put
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: that together for fun. But I know, I really do
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: enjoy it and the the culture of it too.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: I let you go, okay, but before we go, I
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: do love a good chow. I just wanted to say
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: I do. I just want to appreciate.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, you want the audience to know that you love
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Chili audience, have you registered the Donald audience?
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Dear audience, I do love.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Now now I just read this in the notes. In
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty alone, Americans cum relatively streamed more than fifty
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: seven billion minutes of the Office, making it the most
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: watched show of the year. That was during Lockdown. It
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: was like the most watched show of Lockdown. I'm assuming, yes,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: that's insane. So then that tell me about you have
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: your own podcast. It's obviously different from the Office Ladies.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: They the Office Ladies were the inspiration for us, by
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the way, we I'm sure they were. That popped off
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: and people started approaching Donald and I and it was
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: it was and we said, okay, that sounds fun. Shoot
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: the shit with Donald about episodes. That sounds great. But
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: you have your own podcast. What's tell people about that
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: who don't know about it so they can find.
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: It off the beat is what it's called. You know
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: it started? Actually, so I did a Spotify exclusive podcast
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: that started right about the time that Jenna and Angelas
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: started Office Ladies, and it was called Oral History of
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: the Office and it was totally different than what you
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: guys do and what they were doing. What was curious
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: to me because these numbers had started streaming and by
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: the way, those numbers, this is what I mean like
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: when we started like getting approached in airports, it was
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: they started releasing for a brief period of time like
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: streaming numbers, and we were like the stepchild's of NBC.
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: And they released the numbers and it was like, not
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: only were we at the top and Friends was number two,
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: but we were double what Friends were doing. It was
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: this sort of insane thing, and so I put together
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: I interviewed everyone from the show, writers, crew, actors. We
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: did about one hundred and fifty hours of interviews to
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: answer the question of why why did this happen? Like
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: why has this now sort of come back? So I
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: started with that I loved it, then started talking to
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: other people. Love to have you guys on at some
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: point it's off the beat, which now you can you
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: can get wherever you get your podcasts, and yeah, it's
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: it's it's really fun for me. I love doing it.
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: It's uh and I love listening to you guys as well.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you man, and thank you for coming on and sorry,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: we relate, but I just wanted we find you Donald,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: and I just find you so funny and uh and
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: I think I think I have all those people watch
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: any more questions I know to give the well, we'll
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: have him back.
• 59:37

• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: full sentences.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna say. Man, like this, dude's
• 1:01:07

• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: We gotta really get when we have him on again,

  Speaker 2: I really want to talk about what he does, you know,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: what else he's doing in his career and stuff like
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: that as an actor, and if he's gone back to
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: theater at all. Like we we just ran out of
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: so much time, and and he stayed, and he stayed
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: the amount of time that we need.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: I know, I appreciate him saying so many questions. My fault,
• 1:01:31

  Speaker 1: wanted to tell you this on the podcast for those
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: of you who don't live in a city that's doing this.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: There's so many robots in West Hollywood. It's crazy. It's
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: just kind of creeped up. But you got all the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: delivery robots on the sidewalks, and then you got the
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: weaimo of driverless cars on the street. And I was
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: tripping out driving home, being like, this is just kind
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: of happened little by little, but we live amongst all
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: these robots.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Now, So what did they say? Thirty two is the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: year that California is going to be all electric, Right,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: that's the year that they want to clean up the
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: West coast, Right, California is going to Was that a man?
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: I think it was that a mandate of when they'll
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: stop being allowed to get gas cars here. I'm sure
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: keep cars you have, but maybe you can't buy I
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know any of the loopholes. But by thirty
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: two they want that though he's good like that.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: They won't sell anymore cars. They're not going to take
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: your car away from you, but they don't take your anymore.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: They won't sell, but you can also you'll just go
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: to Arizona and buy it if that's your steez.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, people always find a way.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: They'll import cars, right.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: There's I'm sure there's a loophole. But thirty two it's
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: supposed to be electric and an electric city. Hell yeah,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: the fucking robots are come in. Bro, they need they
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: can't gas don't help them, but it does help. What
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: does help is that electricity. Man, this whole thing is
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: going to be powered. Our whole would be all right. Look,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to jump off on a tangent.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: No, don't costruct too long.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: It's not a real it's not a crazy one. Infrastructure
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: is very important and true and true, amen, And we
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: need to really focus on that in California actually, especially
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: because it shakes so much here on yesterday, two days ago.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: I forget the robots, I get the clean air, I
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: get all of that stuff. But if these roads aren't
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: shaped properly, and these buildings aren't reinforced. We're gonna have
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: a real big problem because you know, ship's kind of
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: shit happens anyway, last thing I want to say, that
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: was beautiful, beautiful. I'm gonna I love that. I just

• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get that whole paragraph tattooed on my chest
