MUSIC Hello, Sashir. Oh, hi, Nicole. Fancy seeing you here. Oh, so fancy. It's the fanciest. Wait, are you wearing overalls? I'm wearing overalls. I haven't worn these in a while. Oh. Those are nice. They're pinstriped.

They're signature Sashire colors, beige and less beige. Ha ha ha. Yeah. Yeah. I like them. They're cute. Thank you very much. Yeah. Um, I'm like going from place to place. Yes. In this trip, I'm like going from place to place. Yes. In this trips, I went to Indiana to...

Wait, I went to New Mexico, to Indiana, back to New Mexico, and then I go to Austin and then I go home. So I was trying to figure out how to pack in a way that's like still cute outfits, but very foldable. Boy, oh boy. I, it's funny because I've done that. I've done, I've been on a plane that much. I've been away from home that long.

Just not in a couple of like, in a while. In a while, it's exhausting. Ooh, girl, planes. I'm out of practice. The whole getting on, the whole getting off, the whole talking to a flight attendant, come on, planes. I'm out of practice. The whole getting on, the whole getting off, the whole talking to a flight attendant, come on, ew. Okay, so you've told this to me many times where you fall asleep and then the flight attendant's like,

you were a good little sleeper. And it's like so weird. That happened to me yesterday. I fell asleep, also not that long. I was like waking up, fell asleep, woke up to eat, because of course I gotta eat. Yes, you will always eat. And then fell back asleep.

And the fly I did as I was walking off was like, you got a good nap in. And I was like, why are you even commenting on my nap style? Like what's, why? I think it's pretty dang rude. Um, because it's like we're adults. How dare you? How dare you talk about how I nap?

Yeah, I just want you to ignore that I even did anything. Don't count on how I ate, how I drank, how I nap, how I opened the window. Honestly, that would be very... No, if you open the window on a plane, they have to comment. They have to tell you to go away. Don't even... It's my business. It's my seat. No, they're gonna be like, ma'am, no, you can't.

We're gonna get sucked out. No! I was like, it's too hot. Oh, we have two fun guests today. We have Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey. They wrote a book. It's called Office BFFs. We have two fun guests today. We have Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey. They wrote a book, it's called Office BFFs, Tales of the Office from Two Best Friends Who Were There by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.

It comes out May 17th, 2022, this year. So up first is Jenna. ["Jingle Bells"] Okay, soashir. Yeah. Okay. So now we're at a part of our show that we haven't done in a long time, so...

Here goes nothing. I'm excited, Shashir. We haven't done this in forever. But it's a great way to get back into it. It's called Besting Each Other, where we talk to best friends about their best friendships. And first up, in this duo, we have Jenna Fischer. Thank you so much for being here. Yay!

I'm so excited. Thank you for having me. Yeah. Okay, we should get into the questions, but first, Jenna, I just want to say, I'm 10 years or 15, maybe 20 years late, but I just started watching The Office this year. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! And boy, oh boy, it's funny.

I don't know if you know. Ha ha ha ha. Uh, I'm so excited that you found The Office. You know, Angela and I have our podcast where we're rewatching an episode every week. So I kind of feel like I'm now a weird geek fan of my own show that I was on. Oh, good.

Um, I'm dropping, like like weird references and texting people memes of my own show. Like just a regular fan of it. I like it. That makes me happy. Yeah, Nicole was live tweeting it, which I guess wasn't live tweeting because it wasn't live, but like past tweeting, I got a future tweeting, just as if everyone's watching the same episodes. Like, guys, can you believe this?

Jim and Pam, what? And everyone's like, yeah, it's crazy. I was like, will they have been... Spoiler! No, I won't spoil it because there's someone listening who hasn't seen it and they need to discover the magic. Anyway, your best friend, Angela. Anyway, your best friend, Angela. Yeah, my best friend, Angela.

How did you two meet? We met on The Pilot of the Office. We were both cast on this show, and that is how we met. But that is not when we became best friends. Oh. In fact, I... Angela might have to weigh in here, but I'm pretty sure that we did not exchange phone numbers after the pilot.

So we met on the pilot. I loved her. She would hang out with me all the time, and we would have lunch, and we were chitty-chatty, and I loved it. But I think we thought that the pilot of the office was going to be a one-off. We were never going to see each other again.

There was so little faith in the show from the network and the powers that be and the critics who already hated us, even though they'd never seen it. I think we all just thought it was gonna be this little experience that we all treasured. And I turned 30 years old after we filmed The Pilot, and I didn't invite a single cast member to my birthday And I turned 30 years old after we filmed the pilot, and I didn't invite a single cast member to my birthday

because I thought I would never see them again anyway. Which is weird, because now they're all some of my best friends and I did not invite them to this milestone birthday. But anyway, you know, this was also before social media. Like you really had to specifically ask someone for their phone number to stay in touch with them. And I don't think we did. So luckily the show got picked up. And then during

that first season, it was the basketball episode, and Angela and I didn't have very many lines. And they sat us on a bench together to watch the majority of the episode go by. And we just did background work for 12 hours a day for three days in a row. And on that bench, we told each other our life stories. I just fell in love with her and we've been best friends ever since. Oh, I love that. Oh, I like that. Wait, is the basketball episode where... It's the warehouse employees versus the people in the office?

Yes. Yes, that one. Yes, and Roy and Jim are playing on opposite teams, and who is Pam rooting for? She's so torn. Yeah. Do you remember if there was a story you told or a story Angela told during those three days where you were like, oh, okay, now we're getting in deep.

Like, what was the first, like, this is no longer surface anymore. Now we're getting into the real shit? Yeah, that's such a great question. So I think we like went deep into our childhoods. Like on day two and a half, we were like, we were like, should we do childhood dramas? That's the way.

Okay. That is really a marker of like, now we're friends. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like this year, I've told you a lot of traumatic things on beaches, like at sunset. Yeah. I think you study yourself like a sunset beach or like, hold on, I got to get ready. Yeah. This is nice.

Did I ruin it? Oh, OK. Jenna, what is your favorite memory of traveling with Angela? Okay, so I already know Angela's gonna say the same thing. Because there was this time we had to travel to New York together and I had just started playing the guitar. I had been cast in a movie and they gave me a guitar, even though my character didn't play, I had to like playing the guitar. I had been cast in a movie and they gave me a guitar.

Even though my character didn't play, I had to like hold a guitar. So I became slightly obsessed with the guitar. And I, it was a three-day trip to New York, but I took it with me. I took it on the plane with me. Oh my God, that's so embarrassing. Yes, and I was convinced, I was convinced

that I was gonna play this guitar during this three day massive publicity event in New York, you know, like where you have no time. I don't know, I couldn't be without it. And Angela still gives me shit about that because I guess I just like ran into a lot of people and it like slowed us down. And...

And then I, uh, on that same trip, I ended up falling down a set of stairs and I broke my back in four places. Oh, my God. Yes, and, um... And I never did play the guitar. And Angela took care of me during this whole thing. We actually put this whole story in our book.

I had to like live in New York in a hotel for two weeks. Oh my God. Before I could travel again. And then like she had to figure out how to get the guitar home. She hates the guitar. You guys, I don't the guitar home. She hates the guitar. You guys, I don't play guitar today. Like it's.

It was just, it was the guitar trip. Yeah. That's most memorable for many reasons. But what's interesting is that what's memorable about it is not that I broke my back in four places and had to convalesce in New York. It's that the guitar, It was like the freaking guitar. And it just, I remember laying in the hotel room and Angela was there with me. She would be like, she totally nursed me back to health.

And she's in one bed and I'm in another bed and then the guitar is just like in the corner, just like sitting in a corner, just like... It's a curse. Yeah. Oh, maybe I... It's a curse. Yeah. Oh, maybe I, that's... I should never play guitar, is what I learned.

Yeah, don't. Don't over-try. Because I was thinking about trying again recently. I don't think so. No, Jenna. It's not for you. Okay, okay. I won't do it. No. I have a logistical question. After you break your back and then you have to get on a plane, you can't like lay down.

How do you? Yeah, so the way I broke my back was I broke the transverse vertebrae, which are those little wingy things that like stick off your spine. And it's sort of like breaking your ribs. Where like, so it's, I guess if're going to break your back, it's the best way to do it. Just for a tip for anyone out there. But what happens is, your muscles,

they form a type of cast. Like the my most difficult part of the recovery was how just like stiff I was. But that was important because the muscles were like holding my spine in place while the bones healed. And so I was actually meant to like walk around a lot and sit up a lot. Like that motion was good for recovery. Oh. And sitting actually like hurt, but laying hurt too. Like the most comfortable thing was to kind of just

stand in one place. Oh, no. It was very interesting time. That fucking guitar. And I know, all because, I mean, yeah. Yeah. I know. I'm fine now.

Yeah, I'm glad you're okay now. My goodness. Um, what is your favorite thing about Angela? Well, first of all, I know. Well, I guess I would say she's very funny and she makes me laugh and I like funny people. So I think that was an important quality and a best friend for me is that we laugh a lot together. And she is very, like, unwavering in her support, like, and love and acceptance of me.

So, like, even the parts of me that I can't stand, like, she still likes me, you know? Like, I just feel like liked by her and loved by her, but like, in a very constant way. And it just means the world to me. She's just not judgy, you know? She's like truly lovingly supportive. I love that.

I love that. Okay. What is Angela's favorite thing about you? I don't know. It's a hard question. It's, it is. It's a hard question. Um, cause I see it feel like sort of like I won the lottery with her as a best friend. Like I'm so lucky that she liked me back. Um, I think, well, I'm very good at listening and she can just keep talking and keep talking and keep talking and keep talking through something

and I never get tired of it. And I don't know, I mean, I love her back, you know? Like I accept her too. There's really nothing she can do that would ever make me give her up. So I feel like maybe that part's mutual. Yeah, that's really special. Yeah, I feel like maybe that part's mutual. Yeah. That's really special. Yeah, I love that.

Okay. What is something that you do that drives Angela crazy? So, this is interesting. HEH HEH. Because since we started working together, I think we discovered things that irritate one another about the other. So, like, before we were working together, I think we discovered things that irritate one another about the other. So like before we were working together, I think these personality traits, they didn't like they didn't bump up so much just in friendship life. So something that I do that irritates

her, I'm very structured and very, I don't do well with change or like when my structure is off. So like I eat the same breakfast every day and I have my little routines. And I think like maybe she could find that a little bit. She's not like that. Like she's, she's like sort of leads with feelings, and she has a great work ethic,

but she's more fluid of a person. And so, I think maybe... Like, I need more. You know what I mean? Like, I just have more, like, particulars. Yeah. I guess. What do you eat for breakfast every morning,

if you don't mind me asking? I have eggs and strawberries. Sometimes hard-boiled, sometimes scrambled. I mean, I do shake it up. Okay, so there's variety in the egg form. Yes, but egg and fruit. Sometimes I'll do, like, some other fruit, but mostly strawberries every day.

I love strawberries and this makes me happy. Yeah. Wait, didn't you grow some strawberries recently? Jenna, thank you. I was a farmer for a while. I remember. Yeah, I think they're called June Bearing strawberries, and they're so sweet and delicious. They're kind of hard to grow. You just have to water them every single day and you have to get the amount of water right. Otherwise, if you overwater, they're not as sweet. It was it was very hard being a farmer. The farm has since shut down due to lack of time and services.

And services and things are happening. The employees, they're just too busy. Okay, Jenna, what is something Angela does that drives you crazy? Okay, so Angela knows this. We communicate a lot by leaving each other messages. And she has this tendency in her messages to retell me information with many specifics, like hundreds of times. Like she'll describe a thing as if she's describing it for the first time, but she's describing

it for the 100th time. And in particular, there's this one thing she describes to me constantly, which is this French cafe that she likes to get an iced tea at. And every time she leaves me a message, it'll be, but it'll be like, it's gonna be a juicy message. It's gonna be like, this is an impression of Angela. Lady, oh my God, I have to tell you something. I ran into such and such and you would not believe what they told me. We were at the French cafe.

So this French cafe, it has a little cafe in the back, but in the front it's got a store and they have the cutest items in this. And I'm like, I know. I know when you order there, I know about the store. I know about this cafe. Like, tell me this juicy story about the person at the cafe. So, the preamble to the stories... with information that I know so well already.

Yeah. It's so... already. Yeah. It's so... That's really funny. Yeah. So that sometimes, I have to just be like, lady. I had to stop that message, I need you to redo it, and I need you to just get to it. Like, just get to the part. Because I can't hear about the cafe again.

I can't. Like, I did hit a wall. I hope she never stops. It's a really funny bit. It is a funny bit. It is. No, it's true. I mean, I know it so well. And also, I've been there. Like the first time she told me about it, I was like, oh, yeah, I know that place.

It's adorable. I get gifts for my mom there sometimes. I know exactly what you're talking about. But you don't know it like she knows it. Mm-hmm. Clearly not because she did. There's somehow I have not communicated to her that I get it. Yeah. I try to leave messages for Sashir,

but someone's mailbox is full all the time. Well, it's because it's full of messages from you. And I have to save them somewhere else to clear out my inbox. And as soon as it's empty again, you're like, oh, baby, here I go. And then you certainly be voicemails. And that is always the first message. Oh, wait, it's empty. Imagine my surprise where I could leave my friend a message.

And the message is about you leaving a message. Nothing else. No information. Nothing. OK, Jenna, which one of you would do better on the television show on CBS called Survivor? OK, so, you know, I'm a huge Survivor fan. Do you know that? Did you know that? Jeff Probst officiated my wedding. That's very fun. You said you were very'm a huge Survivor fan. Do you know that? I do know that. Jeff Probst officiated my wedding. That's very fun.

You said you were very much a fan. Yeah. So I'm friends with Jeff. We really, really wanted him, like when I was at the back of the aisle before I walked down, I really wanted him to shout to me and my dad, come on in, guys! You know, that's his catchphrase. Yeah, that's his catchphrase. His catch and my dad, come on in, guys! Is that what he says on the show? Yeah, that's his catchphrase.

His catchphrase is, come on in. Come on in, guys. Like, whenever people are coming to, like, one of the challenges, he always says, come on in, guys. Did that happen? No, I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I thought, like, we just have the Beatles song playing, and then I just, I'll walk down like a regular bride, I guess.

Um, okay. Wait, the Beatles song? Yeah, you know that, um... Here Comes the Sun? Oh. That's what I walked down the aisle to. Oh, that's nice. Instead of, come on in, guys.

That's a good choice. Um, okay, so I'm a huge fan of Survivor, so I know the show very well. And in that sense, I would have a huge leg up on Angela, who I don't think watches it regularly. I mean, I'm currently watching it right now. I'm watching it. And during the pandemic, my family,

we started binging it with our kids. So now we have totally indoctrinated our kids. They are into it. We are a Survivor family. However... I ultimately, I think Angela would win Survivor over me because she's just better with the social game. Like I'm very, I get real hangry.

I don't do well with no sleep. I like have a hard time containing irritation. So in that way, I think I would do very poorly on Survivor. Whereas Angela is, like, much better at that stuff. Like, she's definitely, like, the friendly face of this operation. Mm. Okay. I mean, those are the qualifications. I feel like me and Nicole would both fail.

We both get hangry. We both show when we're irritated. We both need sleep. Yeah. Last night, I're irritated. Uh-huh. We both need sleep. Yeah. Last night I was so hungry, I was screaming in my own car. I was like... I've been by yourself just screaming. No, I was with a friend. I was screaming, I'm not okay.

And then I demanded that my chemical romance song be played. And then I screamed saying that. And then I felt better. And then I got a little bagel song be played. And then I screamed saying that. And then I felt better. And then I got a little bagel and I felt much, much better. Oh, good. Okay, Jenna, last question. Okay.

What do you hope you're both doing 20 years from now? I hope we are both retired. And I really hope that we take a train ride through Scotland together. As like old ladies who travel together. We also really, really want to travel around the country going to different factories, factory tours. Like, there's this sandal place in Florida, we'd really like to tour that factory tours. Like, there's this sandal place in Florida. We'd really like to tour that factory together. There's the Sass shoe factory. We'd like to see that

factory. We have a lot of factories we want to go to. What is Sass shoe factory? And what is the sandal factory in Florida? Oh, I can never remember the sandal factory. I think it's in Key West. And I bought a pair of sandals there a long time ago, like as a kid on a family trip. Oh, Keno? I think that's what they're called. Keno sandals. Okay.

I loved them so much that like years later when they finally fell apart, I figured out I like they would send you a pair but you had to get a money order from your bank. You had to get like a cashier's check and they're only the sandals are only like 16 bucks, but I went to my bank and I got this cashier's check and I sent it off so I could get another pair. And that was like 15 years ago and they still have them. They're the best sandals in the whole world. Oh, and they do a factory tour and I've talked Angela into going with me again.

And then we can get lots of sandals without any cashier's checks at all. Wait, do you still have to get a cashier's check in 2022? I don't think so. I think now they probably just have a website with regular ordering, but this was a while ago. And wait, what is it called? I'm now interested. I think Kino, K-I-N-O Sandals. Is that a place?

Yes, they're waving from the booth. And Key West? Yeah. Oh. And they're so comfortable and they last forever. And are you just going to shoe factories or are there other kinds of factories that you're going to? I'm so sorry, no. No.

We're gonna go to other factories as well. I'm trying to think. We have a list going of all the factories. And what is the fascination with factories? Just you like seeing how things are made. Yeah, and like meeting people that work at the factory, like especially like, you know, specialty factories or. I don't know, like I went to. specialty factories or I don't know. Like I went to, have you ever been,

like I did actually go to Scotland and I went to the Oban factory where they make the, is it whiskey or bourbon Oban? Is it a whiskey or a bourbon? I don't know the difference between the two, but it's fascinating. And then in the barrels and then you see them stirring it, you know, I don't know.

I love this. I mean, I have a, a fascination with doors and I love doors and sometimes people think it's really weird, but they're just like nice. And what did I say? They open you to new, I can't, I said something real dumb. They like open you to new possibilities or something, or new opportunities. You gotta put that on a mug. I'd like to take you to a door factory.

Oh my God, I would die. I think there's a, I think there's an Instagram called, like, in love with doors or something, for people who love doors, because I have one that I follow called in love with tiles, because I also really love, like, hand-painted decorative tiles. or something for people who love doors. Because I have one that I follow called In Love with Tiles, because I also really love, um, like, hand-painted decorative tiles. I went to a tile factory here in California.

Oh, amazing. I would do that. Yeah. And they make it, and they hand-paint it. Yeah, I think you can follow door photo. Do you like, but would that satisfy you, or do you need to physically go through the door? No, no, no. I love doors is pretty good. It's just a door. It's just doors. It's just pictures of doors.

Those are great. I love those doors. Yeah, I just, I guess I love big doors, small doors. I just love a door. And a door fabric, I just, I guess I love big doors, small doors. I just love a door. And a door factory, I would lose my mind. I don't know if I wanna go to a chair factory, but I would wanna see, like, someone hand craft a chair. We gotta find you an artisanal chair maker.

Yes. Who will be like, and this is how you'll make them. And they're like old and wrinkly. Yeah, they're like, my family's been doing this for hundreds of years. I'm like, oh my God, please explain everything. In my brain, the person making your chair will look like a California raisin. And I don't know why.

It's all shriveled up. Yeah. Wait, Jenna, I'm very curious. So those two factories, what other factory do you really want to go to? All right, let me think about it. Gosh, Angela has the list. She knows where we're going. I think there's a potato chip factory in Pennsylvania that we heard about that we wanted to go to. Um, hers potato chips, I think. I do like hers. It's a good chip.

Um, I'm trying to think where else we can go. We've been invited to several... Oh! ...because our love of factory is amazing. I really love this. If you find, like, a best friend that shares your fascination with factory tours, I mean, you know you have found the one.

I mean, yeah, absolutely. My husband is not going on any factory tours with me. You know what I mean? He's like, that's for you and Angela in your retirement. We can travel around. But the thing about a factory tour is like, there's also a town that goes with it. There's a whole vibe.

There's people. You know, it's like a slice of life. You get to get an insight into this product, but then also the surrounding area, it's like a little getaway. We probably are staying in a bed and breakfast. That sounds great. That does sound good. And then we're meeting the innkeepers and we're, you know...

It's like that. We are old ladies, basically. Oh, you should do the... Isn't there a Honey Bunches of Oats factory that they keep putting in the commercial, and they look so happy? That lady! I think she's an actual factory worker that was just charismatic, and she became the Honey Bunches of Oats lady.

Go talk to her. Okay, well now we have to send you away. Yes. Okay. And we're gonna bring Angela in and we're gonna ask her all the same questions. Yes. And see what you guys think. I'm so curious.

Okay. Yeah. All right, I'll see you guys in a bit. See you soon. Okay, bye. What's up? Oh, not much, just recording. What, making a podcast? Now for the second half of besting each other. We have Angela with us and we're going to ask you the same questions

that we asked Jenna and see what your answers are in comparison. Oh, I hope you're ready. Here's the first question. We'll never know. Here we go. Okay. Angela, how did you and Jenna meet? We met on the pilot of an NBC sitcom called The Office.

I sat over in accounting. Well, what's up, accounting department? Jenna was the closest gal to my seat. So there was this partition right between us and I would turn around and I would get up on my tippy toes because I'm a short stack. And I would just lean over and be like, what's doing? What's that? What's happening over there?

Do you have a stapler? I have a stapler. Do you have post-it? I have post-it. I have tape. Do you have tape? Do they give you tape? I'm a little chatty, you guys. And, you know, I probably just talked her into friendship. Basically, I just talked to her and talked to her. Do you remember the moment where you were like, ah, this is a good friend.

This is the person that I really want to like talk to outside of work. I do. I do. It's, you know, we were filming this episode called Basketball and we were seated next to each other for the very first time. Like for real, like not with a partition between us. We were on this bench and we were there all day watching the guys play basketball and we just got to gab and gab and we sort of like solved all the world's problems, but not really. But you know, like we, we like spilled all of our stuff and told all of our life stories and we were leaving one night. We'd been there all day on set. We were walking through the parking lot and we were just like laughing our butts off

and being really silly. I started that, you remember Laverne and Shirley? Shamil Shamil. You guys, I'm a hundred. You probably don't know. I know it. I don't, I'm young. I know, Nicole, you're so young.

Go to Nick at night for the old people shows. That's why I watched it. Oh my God, I'm leaving, goodbye. Well, old friends is on Nick at Night, so we also feel old. Trust me, trust me. Steve Krull was quietly walking behind us, and we were so embarrassed when we saw him,

because we were doing the whole Laverne and Shirley dance, and he pointed at us and he was like, you guys, no matter what happens with the show, because we were on the whole Laverne and Shirley dance. And he pointed at us and he was like, you guys, no matter what happens with the show, because, you know, we're on the chopping block. He was like, this is what you're going to have. And I was like, oh my gosh, Steve Carell. Oh my God, it's Steve Carell. And I'm talking to you.

I was such a fan, but yeah, he was right, you know? Yeah. That's so sweet. That is really sweet. I can't believe you guys were ever on the chopping block. I know, it just seems strange. You never know. But it's like, yeah, I think a huge hit like that was ever in question. Our first season was six episodes, and when we were done,

you know, they had a little nameplate on your trailer door. I was in... I had a trailer with Kate Flannery, like we basically, we had a accordion door that separated, like it was the most janky trailer. We just, our toilets, if you both sat in your toilets, your knees would touch. So we made a little like, we're never going to the bathroom in here.

But I took my nameplate off the door, cause I was like, well, that's it. Like this will be the one time I was on a TV show. So I'm going to I'm going to take my name with me. And then you got to bring it back over and over and over again. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Every day, you had to put it back on the door. Just like, I'm back.

Yeah. They're like, Angela, will you will you bring that back, please? And be seen on set. I'm like, I'm Buck. Yeah, they were like, Angela, will you bring that back, please? And be seated on the set. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry. OK, what is your favorite memory of traveling together? I mean, we've traveled a lot of places, but Jenna had this idea one year that she was going to learn to play guitar. She's very much like that. She's like, I have an idea.

I'm going to learn to do this thing. And then she leans hard into it. I bail. I'm a bailer. She's a lean like that. She's like, I have an idea. I'm gonna learn to do this thing. And then she leans hard into it. I bail. I'm a bailer. She's a leaner into her. But she was gonna play guitar and she wanted to take it to New York City for our NBC upfronts.

I'm like, Jenna, we're there like three days. You're gonna take a flipping guitar with you? And I don't know if guitars come in different sizes. I guess they do. But I just want you to know, she had the biggest guitar they make. It was like the size of a Buick. It was so cute.

And she had a special case for it, like in a backpack that she had to strap to her back. It was enormous. It was as tall as me. And then like when we went to go to the bathroom, like just getting it through the airport was just a pain in the butt. They pulled her aside for security. It was a whole thing. And then then she had to pee. And I had to carry it while she peed. Like I was

holding it in the bathroom. And then she got on the plane with it. And nobody wants to see you and your guitar get on a plane. Nobody wants that. But it just I look back on it now and it just cracks me up. Like, remembering her, like, trying to get through the stupid airport. And I don't think she opened the case the whole time we were there. I'm like, Jenna, what songs did you play?

She's like, uh, play, uh. You should have asked her to actually play it during the up-fronts. Oh, that would have been amazing. Please, I think Jenna Fisher has a song she'd like to play. Yes, Angela. OK, Angela, what is your favorite thing about your friend Jenna?

Oh, you guys, she really makes me laugh. It's not easy to make me laugh. Like, I think things are funny. Like, I'll be like, oh, that is amusing. But like to really make me go, you know, when you really go and you're really cracking up, it's like, it's, it takes a lot for me, like my, my friends joke and say I'm dead inside. I'm not just, it takes a lot to really make me have that ugly laugh where you're just losing it. And Jenna cracks me up. She's got this really like great sidebar commentary

because she's smart and funny and she makes me lose my shiitake. She cracks me up. Oh, I love that. That's sweet. Oh, Nicole, I'm just pure sweetness and sunshine. No, I'm just a tough customer when it really comes to like, what's the word, a goofaw, whatever. I just said, I just said goofaw on your podcast. I'm gonna leave, I'll let myself out. I'll just go. I like, no, goofaws are welcome here.

Thank you. Yes. What do you think Jenna's favorite thing is about you? Oh gosh. And you're gonna read these back. Kimmy's writing it all down right now. Jenna's favorite thing is about you. Oh gosh. And you're gonna read these back. Kimmy's writing it all down right now. Let's see.

I mean, probably that I'm pretty laid back. Like I don't get ruffled too easily, you know? So if there's a lot coming at us, cause you know, we're work wives now, right? We're business partners. And so I usually I'm just like, All right, let's take a minute. Let's just hit the pause button before we, you know, flip out. And I think she bounces off of me when she like, gets nervous or anxious about something. That's the equality.

Okay, you guys are showing no reaction. I'm like looking at your faces for a tell, like, is that what you... Listen, we're not giving it up. We have to wait till Jenna comes back in and then together we find out if you're actually friends. And if you don't get every question correct together... Then our career is over.

Yeah. You have to fire us over. You're fine. It's Jenna. Okay. What is something you do that drives Jenna crazy? Oh my gosh. There's probably a lot.

Um, I hate email. I hate it so much right now. Let's see. I haven't. Let me see what my email box is. One thousand six hundred and eighty eight. That makes her have a panic attack. That's how many is in my inbox. Oh, goodness. I know. But listen, listen.

OK, I I look through and I see what's like, OK, I should look at that. And then some I just skip because whatever. And then I forget to erase them. And then I don't know how. And then I'm like, whatever, who cares? So I think maybe just, I don't know, guys, I hate email. I don't check my email. Maybe that drives her crazy. In a list of other things.

Are you not checking her emails? No, I'll check her emails. She's here, like, I have my small circle, but like, there's some I'm just not gonna get to. I'm just gonna going to get to. I'm just going to be honest with you. There's some that aren't going to make it to the open box. I understand. It's really difficult.

I have a ton of unanswered emails. Thank you. Not as many as you right now. Okay. 265. Oh, that's a goal for me. That's a solid amount. If I get to 200, I'll, you 200, I'll slide into your DMs.

Ooh. I'll have a glass of wine like that. I have 8,000. You do? Shesheer. Shesheer. I did not see that coming. I also didn't see that coming.

8,000? Oh my God. I am going to walk out of here feeling so good about myself today. That's sick. 8,000? I bet Jenna has like seven. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I've never cleaned out my inbox,

but all the ones that I'm supposed to read, I read. It's just a bunch of like spam stuff that I haven't opened. Thank you. thank you. To be fair, I have the least amount of emails unread, but I bet you there's hundreds of people waiting on an answer from me as we're talking right now. Yes. You know what I get a lot?

There's no response. I get this a lot. I'll get an email that says, hey, just bumping this. I'm like, oh yeah. Yeah. And like, bump all you want. Bump it up, baby. OK, what is something that Jenna does that drives you crazy? You know what? The minute her eyes open, her brain turns on.

And my brain does not work that way. I need a minute. Give me a hot second, please. her brain turns on. And my brain does not work that way. I need a minute, give me a hot second, please. But yeah, so if we went on this writer's retreat together to work on our book, and I mean, when she is awake, it is churning, it is going. And I'm like, I'm gonna sit here for like 30 minutes with just, I don't know, my robe on, cup of tea,

just gonna take a little minute to wake up my brain. And, um, I think, I think that probably drives her crazy sometimes of just like, and I'm awake, let's go, let's go, let's go. Mm hmm. Like, yeah, I, I need, I need a little bit of time. Yeah. I need so much time.

I love nothing more than just laying in my bed for like an hour and a half before I do anything. Oh, it's so decadent. I get a morning like that because you know, life, kids, whatever. I'm like, no, I'm gonna lay in bed and read. Then I'm gonna go downstairs and I'm gonna sit on my porch. I love a porch. I'm gonna read some more on my porch. Maybe I'll just zone out. Just, I don't know, let the wind blow over my face for a minute. I'll start reading on the... I don't wake up early enough to do any of the things I'd like to do in the morning.

I had to do something at 10 and I woke up at 9.58. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Listen, you guys can't see the back of my head right now. And it's a good thing because I took my time this morning I laid in bed I had my porch time and it's a hot mess in the back I figured you'd only be seeing the front so exactly the front was great I will sacrifice some me time over some bedhead every day. Okay. This is an important question.

Very important. Oh no. Okay. Is this the survivor question? Yeah. Of the two of you, which one would do better on the television show? Survivor. A hundred percent Jenna. First of all, she loves the show. She watches it like she loves it. So she probably knows strategy and whatnot. Um, guys, I don't like to she loves the show. She watches it, like she loves it. So she probably knows strategy and whatnot. Guys, I don't like to go in the woods.

I'm not gonna poop somewhere. Like I'm not gonna use a leaf to wipe my butt. I'm not gonna do that. I don't know where they go to the bathroom. You never see where they go to the bathroom. That's an issue for me. I need to know what the toilet situation is. And I just think maybe, you know, Jenna's organized.

She'd like figure out the games. I wouldn't be good at it, guys. I would be horrible. I never thought about it. Like, yeah, they're in the wilderness. They don't get to go to like a hotel at night. They have to shit in the woods. Yeah, I don't go in the woods, No, I never shit outside of a toilet.

I don't know. Thank you. I've peed. Listen, I have squatted. Oh, I've squatted and I've drip dried, you know, no shame, but I can't, I can't do the poop skis in the woods. Yeah. I don't think I've pooped outside either.

Well, it doesn't seem ideal. Like, ugh. I mean, I guess it's the position. Yeah, what do you do with it? You bury it? I imagine. What are we like all... We're all cats. We're all cats. We come...

I mean, I can't imagine you just like leave it there. Right? On top of everything? I don't... That seems rude. There's no trash cans. So you guys also think you're going to go. What's the last time you squatted? That's a deep squat.

It is like, what do you what do you you know what I'm saying? I'm pretty good at squatting because I do a little pole dancing. So I could do like, you know, want some lady. You're super bendy. You're super bendy. Thank you. Thank you so much. It's a compliment. So I think I could do a squat necessary,

but like, do I want to? No. No. Yeah. The toilet. You lost me at toilets, survivor. Did you hear me? Yeah.

And also now I have a bidet and I love that life. Yeah. Oh, our house growing up, you know, I grew up in Indonesia and they, we have a bidet and I love that life. Yeah. Oh, our house growing up, you know, I grew up in Indonesia and we had a bidet. They were like in all the bathrooms. And that was my Barbie spa to end all Barbie spas. They were all in there. I don't understand why it's not standard here.

It's really weird. It's pretty cool. But I actually, I saw a bidet in a public restroom recently. And I was like, interesting. Like, I mean, and some restaurant in, where was I? San Diego. Fonser?

Yeah. The only thing is like, I don't necessarily sit on public toilets all the time, depending on like the cleanliness of the bathroom. So I'm like, I don't... To bidet and a squat, that's a lot. It's an intimate moment. It's a recipe for a disaster. What if you just put those toilet paper seats down?

You know what I'm saying? On a bidet? Yeah, and then that gets all moist and wet and stuck to your butt. Yeah. Well, we'll figure it out. We'll work on this. We'll circle back. Okay, Angela, what do you hope that you and Jenna

are both doing in 20 years? Jenna loves New York City. It's like where she feels the most, I think, herself. And I hope she's just like an old lady in New York City, you know, maybe she'll get one of those little baskets that rolls, gets her groceries. She'll do some theater, you know. She'll text me maybe about a cool art show she saw.

Just living her best life in Manhattan. Manhattan, I hope that for her. And you know, I'm not a real city person, so I'd like to get a little bit of land somewhere. And, oh, dream would be like where the trees meet the ocean, you know, that's kind of like a cool, like up where the redwoods are, you know? Oh, okay. Like Big Sur, that kind of area.

I was really confused. I was like, trees mean oceans. I've never seen trees on the beach. What's Angela talking about? What is it? This is a fancy place. It's what is this magic place. But yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'd have some animals and I love a little bit of a garden

and some bird feeders. You guys, I'm just such a dork, but I hope I'm the lady. Like, when people go on their walk, they're like, that's the lady with all the birds. She used to be on TV or something. I love that. I think that's a sweet... That's a sweet want for the next, for like in 20 years.

But it's nice. It's like settled. I'll be 70. I'll be 70. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Huh. Mm hmm. 50. This is 50. It's funny because I was like, you don't look 50. But then I was like, what does 50 look like? What are eight? Who knows? I go on Instagram and I go these 18 year olds.

They look like they're 42. What is anybody anymore? What is where's who wears a side ponytail to their prom? Me. Where is that? Where are those girls? Yeah, they are? They are gone. They are fashion. It is funny because I was pretty ugly for a minute until I figured it out. And I feel like all these teens on the internet,

they figured it out so quick. They're all so pretty. So early. I know. Well, they have the unfair advantage of YouTube and TikTok, where they get all these makeup tutorials, how to do your hair. We would just like ask friends who also didn't know how to do anything and just try our best. Yeah, I'd be like, Mom, can you perm my hair?

My mom would be like, I'll try it. Oh, that's going to go great. OK, now we have to bring Jenna back in, compare your answers, and see if this friendship stands the test of time. Ah, no pressure! -♪ Hahahaha. -♪ -♪ Hahahaha. -♪

-♪ Hahahaha. -♪ -♪ Hahahaha. -♪ -♪ Hahahaha. -♪ -♪ Hahahaha. -♪ -♪ Hahahaha. -♪ -♪ Hahahaha. -♪ -♪ Hahahaha. -♪ -♪ Hahahaha. -♪

-♪ Hahahaha. -♪ Hi, lady! Hi! I hope we did well on our test. I hope so, too. I feel so nervous. I know. I am nervous. Are we best friends or not?

I don't know. Kimmy has all the stats. Yeah, let us know. Okay. Well, we'll let you know. We asked, how did you two meet? Jenna said we met on the pilot of The Office, both cast on the show, but we did. That's not when we became best friends.

We had fun on the pilot. We were friendly, but we didn't think we were going to get picked up. And even though we were friends, we were still friends. We were friends. We were friends. We were friends. We were friends. We were friends.

We were friends. We were friends. We were, that's not when we became best friends. We had fun on the pilot, we were friendly, but we didn't think we were gonna get picked up. I didn't even invite her to my 30th birthday party. But in season one, in the basketball episode, we were on a bench watching the episode film. We did three days of background work and shared stories of our childhood traumas.

And then Angela said, met on the pilot of the office. Angela was like, I sat in accounting and Jenna was the closest gal to her seat. So she would whisper over it, Jenna be like, you got staple, you got all that stuff. And then they got really close. Angela said, you guys got really close filming the basketball episode

where you were seated next to each other and you shared stories and walking to the parking lot. You were laughing and laughing and doing a Laverne and Shirley dance. And walking to the parking lot, you were laughing and laughing and doing a Laverne and Shirley dance. And then Steve Carell saw you guys and said, no matter what happens with the show, this is what you will have. Hey, basketball bench. One. We also ask, what's your favorite memory traveling together?

And you both talked about the guitar trip. Oh, no. Guitar. Yes. But. Stupid guitar. Angela. You didn't mention that Jenna broke her back.

Oh, well, yeah. We did. I said it's funny because whenever we talk about that trip, we talk about the dang guitar. I broke my back on the guitar grip. No, I know. She didn't break it on the guitar. Like it was on a stupid, stupid set of stairs, which was probably also a reason why you didn't then play the guitar while you were there.

No, it just sat there. Yeah. I didn't bring up you breaking your back because I thought it was kind of kind of traumatic story. I laid all the trauma out. Oh no. I didn't bring up you breaking your back because I thought it was kind of kind of traumatic story. I laid all all the trauma out. Oh, no. OK, I gave it to him. OK. OK, but wait, that's two in a row. Yeah, it is. Basketball, bitch and guitar. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, get ready for three in a row. We asked what your favorite thing about your friend, Jenna said Angela's very funny, makes me laugh her unwavering support and love and acceptance of me, even things that Jenna dislikes about herself. Angela cares about she's not judgy and she's lovingly supportive. Angela said, oh, she really makes me laugh. It is not easy to make Angela laugh. But she is dead inside, according to many sources. But she is dead inside, according to many sources. But Jenna cracks Angela up.

She's hilarious sidebar commentary. So yeah, I think this is three in a row. Three in a row. And then we ask, what's your friend's favorite thing about you? And Jenna said that she, that Jenna herself is a great listener. Angela is very chatty and she never gets tired of it. And Jenna loves her back and accepts her. And there's nothing Angela could do to make her want to give Jenna up. And then Angela said, Angela's pretty laid back, easy going.

And as work wives, it's good to have somebody in that dynamic. And Jenna bounces off that energy very well when she's nervous or anxious. So I feel like it's like you guys compliment each other. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. somebody in that dynamic and Jenna bounces off that energy very well when she's nervous or anxious. So I feel like it's like you guys compliment each other. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I think we do. I think we do. I'm calling that four. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. We massage that one a little bit, but we're in the ballpark. We then asked what's something you do that drives your friend crazy? Jenna is dead. Since we started working together, we've discovered things before working together. These personality traits didn't cause issues. Jen is more structured. She doesn't like change. And Angela is more of a flexible, fluid person.

Angela wrote, hates emails. Her inbox is full with lots of unread emails. Hates emails. Doesn't check email. Okay, wait a second. I almost brought up Angela's emails, but I was like, it is rough. Okay, I want you to know, we had a moment because I shared my number, which is like 1,688,

and then Nicole's is like around 200. She shares? You say she shares. You say Shashir, you say. Okay, let me find it again. It's 8,000 and 63. But she's like me, she checks the ones that she knows you need to check, right Shashir? I don't understand why you don't just delete the ones

that you don't need, just delete it. Just get that out of your life. And I said, I don't understand this. I don't know why. I don't know how to correct it now. It's gone on for so long. But I said you probably have like six or seven in your inbox right now.

Yeah, I mean, I could look, but I try to keep it under 10. Under 10 guys. Under 10 unread. I mean, listen, there's a ton in there, you know, but like unread, unread, how can you have 8,000 unread emails? I mean, how do you sleep at night? I made a cumulation of her year.

How do I sleep at night? Just fine, because I know I answer the emails that need to be answered. This is from whenever I started my Gmail. I don't know when that was. 16 years ago? 16 years ago. I don't know when that was. This is me applauding. 16 years ago? 16 years ago. Oh my God.

I don't remember. Who knows? Maybe, actually. Probably. Yeah, probably. I don't know, we're getting old. I also have three different emails. Three?

Yes, because that helps me keep the junk out of the email that it reaches me most personally. So I don't order anything online to like my personal email where like friends or work contact me because I don't need like 90, you know, notices of a sale at Old Navy popping up in my work email. Yeah, that's so... If I, I do have like,

I probably have like a thousand unread emails in like my burner email, you know? Oh, okay. We gotta get a burner email. Yeah, I actually have one and haven't checked in a very long time. I wasn't going to say anything, but I have two burner emails. Two? Well, I have two. Because I set one up and then I like forgot how to get into it and then I figured it out, but I already set up another one anyway. Guys, it's a problem. Eek, eek, eek.

Yeah. I have, yes, I have one burner email that I used to give out on podcasts and now people have just signed me up for trash. Um, anywho, okay, we asked, what is something your friend does that drives you crazy? Do you want to read this one, Sashir? Sure. Uh, Jenna said, we communicate by leaving each other messages, and Angela tends to retell me information that she's already told me a hundred times.

For example, telling me about this little French cafe that she's already been to. I tell her the name of it and the cross streets every time. And what's in it every time. I think that's really cute. I'm never gonna stop. I don't think you should. Angela said, uh, the minute Jenna's eyes open,

her brain turns on, like they were on a writer's retreat. And when Jenna's awake, she is going and she's thinking, and Angela needs a minute to slow her morning down. She needs to sit there with a robe and a cup of tea, wake her brain up, and she just needs some time. It's true. And on that writer's retreat, I knew this about her, and I would try to not speak to her.

Like, you know, as soon as she would wake up and walk in the kitchen, I had like nine things I wanted to say, and I would try to hold them in, but I know that she could tell because this is what I said about survivor. Like I'm not good at like containing if it's a thought, it must be said. If it's a feeling, it must be expressed.

I could see her suppressing the nine things she wanted to say to me because like she would like, you know, have like something in her hand, like like a like a cup of tea or something. And she'd have like a spoon. She'd be like, stirring it, stirring it, stirring it. I'm like, OK, Jenna, what is it? What do you need to say? You know, difficult for me. OK, we asked which of you would do better on Survivor.

So Jenna revealed she's a huge survivor fan, married by Jeff Probst. She's a huge leg up on Angela because she's currently watching it. She got her kids into it. They are a survivor family, but Jenna said Angela would win because she's better at the social game. Jenna gets hangry and doesn't like not sleeping. That's true. Yeah. Jenna doesn't hide irritation.

These things would affect her survivor game. Angela is the friendly face of the operation. And then Angela said 100 percent Jenna first, maybe she loves the show. She knows strategy. Angela's not trying to face of the operation. And then Angela said, 100% Jenna. First, maybe she loves the show. She knows strategy. Angela's not trying to go into the woods, pooping God knows where. That's a big issue for Angela.

She needs to figure out the toilet situation. Jenna's organized and will be able to figure out the games. And Angela said she just wouldn't be good at it. Yeah. I don't want to go in the woods. I forgot about the pooping. Angela only poops at home. I can poop anywhere. Yeah. I can't relax in public, guys. I can't relax in public. And the one or two times

I finally pooped in public, you know, like in a public bathroom, it didn't go well. Like the toilet didn't flush. It was horrible. Oh, no. It's stressful. This is an area where you think it would be flipped. You would think that I need to poop in the same place at the same time every day because I'm not my structure. But apparently I can just poop anywhere. But you cannot. So that would be hard for you on Survivor

because I think you just dig a hole and poop in it. See, I told you guys. I don't think she can do it. The three of us talked about like the whole situation. We were trying to figure out where you do it. Yeah. Well three of us talked about like the whole situation. We were trying to figure out where you do it. Yeah. Well, maybe if you guys were a team, you would both be well.

You both have different skillsets. We've wondered if we would be good on Amazing Race or not. Ooh. Yeah. I don't know. I've always said that your Amazing Race partner is Rashida Jones. Like you two would kill it.

Well, not me. I don't think Rashida would kill it because she's like a world class traveler. Right. But I would just be excited to see if I could hang. But you'd be good. Like the two of you together, I feel like could go really far. I don't think I'm a good candidate for any of these reality shows. You know what, Jenna, you would get the call sheet

and you would get like the, what do you call it? Like the one-liner of what we're supposed to do that day. And Jenna would be like, you know what, guys, let's think this through, that outside exterior shot, I think it could be moved to later in the day. It'll be cooler out. I could run it. I could plan it. Yeah, but I I could run it. I could run it.

Yeah, but I don't think I'd be good on it. OK. Yeah. Fair. So you could be a line producer on Survivor, but not come to compete. It would be one of their best seasons ever. We did go on Family Feud together and we won. We did very good. Yes. Oh, that's fine. Congratulations. I love Family Feud. Steve Harvey,. We did very good. Yes. Congratulations.

I love Family Feud. Steve Harvey, what a dream. I love him so much. If you like Family Feud clips, there's a very funny one where it's a woman trying to say another word for mommy and she goes on for like a hundred years just repeating this one word. It's really funny. Anywho, uh... We asked, what do you hope you're both doing in 20 years?

Jenna said, I hope we're both retired. I hope that we take a train ride through Scotland together as old ladies who travel, um, travel the country, tour factories, the Sass shoe factory, a sandal factory in Florida, Keno Sandals. Also other factories, potatoal factory in Florida, Keno Sandals, also other factories, potato chip factory in Pennsylvania. And Angela said-

We just talked about factories for a while. Yeah. Angela said, Jenna loves New York and that's where she feels most herself. So I hope she's an old lady in New York. Angela isn't a city person. She wants to go buy some land somewhere where the trees meet the ocean, have some animals,

maybe a garden, maybe a garden, maybe a bird feeder. Angela wants to be that lady with all the birds. And I have a bonus question. Angela, what does Jenna eat every day for breakfast? She likes one egg. She has this little thing, you know, I don't know, it's like a little turquoise container with one egg in it. She turns it on. It makes the egg just how she likes it. And then she has some strawberries. Wow. I love that. You pass. What is this egg container?

It's it's a hard boiled egg thing. They're like 15, 20 bucks. And you can put up to, I think, seven eggs in it, and you put a little water, and then it has a little dome on top, and then it steams the eggs perfectly, so you get a perfect hard-boiled egg. But can it make a soft-boiled egg?

It can. You can make it any consistency that you want. It depends on how much water you put in. It comes with a little measuring cup, and it says, like, soft-boiled, medium-boiled, hard-boiled. And you can also do it poached. So it also has, like, a little container where you can crack the egg and then it'll poach it for you.

Wow. Did you look for this specifically, or did you stumble upon this on like a late night infomercial? My mom gave it to me. I don't know how she knew about it, but my mom loves like QVC or like Home Shopping Network and they're always showing gadgets. And so she had gotten me one for a Christmas gift one year and I love it. They're smelling that egg. It's a smelly egg. Not because of the cooker. Not because of the cooker. No, the cooker is doing its job. It's a smelly egg. Not because of the cooker. Not because of the cooker. No, the cooker is doing its job.

It's just, you know, that's a smell. That's a unique smell, that hard-boiled egg. It is. Yeah. But when you're on the porch having your tea, like an hour after your friend wakes up, it's no problem. That's true. Because I ate my egg before you got there. That's right. Well, I'm going before you got there. That's right.

Well, I'm going to buy one of these because I love a soft boiled egg, but I'm very bad at like boiling the water and stuff. Same. Oh, it's a cute little container and she travels with it. She'll bring it with her. Yeah. When we did our writer's retreat, she brought it with her. Yeah, it's great.

And it's, it's small and comes in lots of colors. So you can, you know, match it to your kitchen if you want. I love this. I love it. I feel like you're doing an ad for a heart-boiled egg. Are they sponsoring you? Oh, ladies, by the way, I love how you do your ads. You guys each take one.

And the other day I was listening, and Shashir, you got Allstate. But Nicole, you got some kind of like vaginal like medicine for your vagina. And I was like, how do you pick who reads what? We do them together. So it's like line, line, line, line. But I was like, OK, maybe we could switch it up.

I don't remember why we just came. We just call usually takes more of the salacious ones. Yeah, I do love silly. You have fun with them. You did have fun with that. You were like, for your vagina. I'm always having a nice time. That's funny, because I forgot we did ads for vagina stuff because I got a box of vagina stuff and I was like,

I didn't get vagina stuff, but you didn't get vagina stuff. I got car insurance. I got car insurance. You got car... You gotta check your PO box, baby. Okay, yeah, I guess I haven't been there in a while. It's probably there. Well, we found out that you are friends. Yes. It's a beautiful friendship. Yeah. Hey, we've found out that you are friends.

Yes. It's a beautiful friendship. Woohoo! Yay, we did it! You did it! Thank you so much. And will you tell us more about your book? I want to know what you guys are talking about. Like, is it more of this, more of an exploration of your friendship through The Office?

It is a little bit. It's called The Office BFFs. And it is a memoir of our time on the show and of the show The Office, but it's also a memoir of our best friendship. There really is like a journey of our friendship, you know, where we started. And I don't know about you guys, but like Jenna and I had no idea like what life would be like in Los Angeles or navigating Hollywood or like we talk about like our first red carpet was a absolute shit show. But like we just sort of tell all of those behind the scenes moment and then even like where we are now and we were both putting off organizing

like all like you know the places where you stash everything at home. We all have that stash place and it was just like we decided one day let's do it home. We all have that stash place. And it was just like, we decided one day, let's do it together. We're gonna do it. We're gonna go through all of our boxes. And we found hundreds of pictures and little things we saved and- Thousands, really.

Really thousands, yeah. Thousands of, but like everything. We saved everything. Scraps of paper from our desk, like prop note cards from the office. A ticket stuff from like Steve's movie, 40 year old Virgin, like I still had that. Like just like the craziest things.

And we were both like, what are we gonna do with all this? So then we were like, we should scrapbook it. But then we were like, maybe we should put it into a book. Like with stories. With stories. And then we found journals, which were fascinating, because it's like stuff that you don't remember now. And it would just jog all these memories of

our journey of our friendship. And so we put it all together in one place. And we hope that fans of the office will really love having it because it's filled with just our personal photos. I think Angela and I are the only people that brought our cameras to the pilot of the office. So that was an early sign that we were going to be best friends because we had those the disposable ones. With the like sound remember if you would take a picture. Yeah, because you didn't have digital cameras then. Yeah.

And so. Oh my god, we predate digital cameras. We predate digital cameras. We predate digital cameras, lady. Holy moly. And so we just think the stuff that we found was really special and we wanted to put it all in one place. And now we have it and we can hold it. I'm so excited too for my daughter, Isabel, to have it.

And just, I don't know, just to see her mom found this great friend and they, you know, built a career together. And I just think that's really special. Yeah. I'm so glad Angela was there because like, it would have been really, especially scary to try to do all that stuff without someone you trust, you know, to have like the fame and all of that coming at me. Like you just, Angela is so grounded

and we're so the same. And it's like, we love to go to a party and be like, oh my gosh, look who's here. But then at the end of the day, it doesn't matter to us also. And so like it, we never got away. Yeah, we're just kind of basic, you know, we're. We are.

We're kind of basic. but in all the same ways. So look how we showed up today. We're part of the party now. This is happening now. Come on, come on. So cute. I love this. Yeah, this is a very beautiful friendship and thank you for sharing it with us.

Yes, thank you. And our book comes out March. March, no, it's May. Oh, why did I say March? I don't know, it's May. Oh, what did I say? I don't know. It's past. Oh, Lord. May 17th.

May 17th. May 17th. That's a Tuesday. It is May 17th. May 17th. Oh, my gosh. When is it? I have it taxed as of May 17th.

May 17th. The other thing, you guys, we wrote every word. That was a whole learning process to learn how to write with someone. And it took us three years. Yeah, we did not have a ghostwriter. Holy crap. It took us so long. I have such new, profound respect for anyone that just cranks out books, like book after book. I'm like, oh, man.

Yeah, it was difficult. Yeah, I can imagine. I wrote a picture book with very little words and boy, was that hard. It's intense. Yeah. Yeah. But it's done. It's done. It's done. You did it. The Office BFFs, Tales of the Office from Two Best Friends Who Were There by Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey.
