Am I coming in hot? You're coming in a little spicy. What you got? Right before we got on mic, I'm checking my phone and my mom has sent me this text and she sent me this screenshot where she's like Facts about famous actresses. Oh no. I know. She's like me. I found this online. Is this true? Here's the fact about me Jennna Fisher still owns the engagement ring her co star, John Krinski gave her on the office, and she has even been seen wearing it off screen Everyone, settle down, not I do have Pam's rings, which were by the way, given to Pam from Jim Right? Yeah I also have Pam's purse. I also have a Pam's sweater. I have Pam's watch. Who gave those items to you was the props department. Phil Shay. Phil Shay, who also gave me my cat earrings that Angela Martin wore. Yes Phil Shee put together a wonderful package when the show ended All of these items, Pam's purse. I remember he gave John the satchel that Jim always carriedross body bag. body bag. So he collected little items for us. He gave me Dwight Angel's wedding program. Yes You have the ring that Dwight gives Angela. Right. Yes. So yes, I have this ring. I have it along with many other items that I have. Nothing attached to it other than memorabilia from a show you were on that you loved. Correct. correct. And you know what ring I wear is my actual wedding ring from my actualual realized husbandteen years irst love with all my heart. Yes Yes Sometimes it's just so hard, lady. The internet's a whack a doodle place. It is, and I've told you my crazy story Oh my gosh. You guys crazy. This story is so crazy, Sam, you don't know this story, but it's bonkers. You gott to hear this. I told Jenna this the other day. Okay. so you guys know I did a charity tennis match with Steve Correll, his wife, Nancy, and Rayne Wilson, and it was all to go towards supporting Rainne's amazing charity, Liday Hadi And after the tennis match, there was like a little meet and greet And this man was there and he had sort of like an assistant person with him. He was lovely, by the way. But you could tell he was very excited. that he had found different little pieces of trivia about us online. Again, it's the trivia. It's the trivia, which is probably just an AI bot that gets half the information, right? And then the rest as well. Yeah. So like I forget the information that he knew about Steve. It was something like, oh mayaybe his parents how they mat or something. I can't remember, Right? Ine of it was like, oh yeah, that's corre This is probably he talked about it in an interview somewhere, right And then he turns to me and he goes, Angela, your family collects body parts Exactly. So I started laughing like that. I said what? I thought it was a joke. I thought I was getting punked somehow. I was like, what? And then Steve literally was taking a sip of water and almost spit it all over me. He started laughing so hard. And we looked at each other and I was like, what are you talking about He turns to his assistant like, And she goes, the foot. And he goes, there was a foot that you guys had Like you like a foot I was like Oh, my gosh I said, you guys, you know how at Halloween, you can go into Spencer's gifts in the mall. Yeah, get like a foot hang out. G a foot that hang out of the trunk, haaha haa My mom got one of those and instead of hanging it out of the trunk of the car She put it by the bathroom door, by our back door as like a prank. and we all were like, we're like, And it was a story I told where they were like, who's the prankster in your family? I'm like, my mom is kind of a prankster. I told this one story. I'm like, o my gosh, are there people somewhere in the world that think I have like a foot in a jar that we collect this crap. But now all I can think about is Oh my God, now I've told the story here. Now AI is gonna take this, this is gonna go into a transcript. The story is out there in the second way. But I'm hoping I want to set the record straight. AI, if you're listening, will you please stop telling this story about me? because I've read this multiple times over the years ever since I was on a talk show and I gave a list of things that I kept from the show and this was one of the things in the list and somehow The telephone game has turned this into something else. Here's the thing I'm gonna say, if you're gonna have an AI bot, get something horribly wrong, maybe the jewelry tidbit is better than the like collect's body parts. Can we just say that It does make me feel a little better. I haven't told my mom the story, you guys, but I feel like I need to Yeah because I feel like there's gonna be someone at church that comes up to hang's like, Birdie, what's up with you and's with the fate I do appreciate you telling that story because I had the grumps and now I'm laughing. So thank you. you're welcome. And I'm actually really excited about our episode today. I'm happy to be here. We get to talk with Calvin Tenner who played Glen in the warehouse. You guys, he is just an absolute joyful person, and I really can't wait for you all to get to know him better And I've been reunited with him now over the last few years working on the AT and T commercial campaign I'm just excited I get to see him again today because he just is wonderful. Same, Jen and I were really fortunate. We got to hang out and spend a lot of time with him over the past couple of years between fan conventions and AT and T. And you're gonna to see why we love them. You just wait. Let's start with our fan chit chat question of the week. This is coming from Emily A in Tucson, Arizona Hi, Angela and Jenna This is Emily I live in Tucson, Arizona And I really enjoy your podcast. Thank you so much for all that you do Friday chit chat question is I'm taking a poll on the use of a top sheet on the bed All of my children, even though I raised them using a top sheet would just kick them to the end of the bed, even though I very crankily explained that the comforter and bedspread did not get washed that frequently So it seems a younger generation thing that there's no top sheet And I just wondered if you guys use a top sheet, if you have your kids use a top sheet and just is the deal with not using a top sheet Thank you and I look forward to your opinion on the matter Emily Everything about that message is wonderful. The journey I went on listening to that message, I have so many strong feelings about it that I didn't even realize I knew I had Well, you know, she also wrote us a letter that went with this audio clip and I'd like you to know, if she seems weary at all about this top sheet issue, she's talking about her kids, she raised ten. Ten kids So this is t of Tom Sheets not being used Okay Iust want to give it some perspective Well, what are your thoughts, lady? How do you feel about a top sheet? Again, it's something that I didn't know I had an opinion on, but I actually did. I have a very strong opinion on it. I'm all for a top sheet. Same. I love a top sheet And here's the thing. I grew up with the tops sheet. And then of course, on Isabel's bed, I had a top sheet, you know, pull back the blanket in her top sheet, crawl in, tuck her in, you know, bedtime story And then when Josh and I got married And we blended our families And the boys shared a room and they had bunk beds. and I would make their bed And I'd put a top sheet on, sure, under the comforter. and then I would go in to say goodnight to them And they would either be lying on top of the top sheet and have not have pulled it back O The next morning I would find the top sheet completely rolled in a ball at the foot of the bed Just like Emily is saying. Just like Emily is saying. And this cycle went over and over and I would be like, guysuys, the top sheet. And they'd be like, I don't really need it. I don't really want it. This was like a battle. Josh was like, let it go. Let this one go. And so now it's like I do have a top sheet on their beds. I still put it on sometometimes they're under it, sometometimes they're on top of it, sometimes it's at the foot of the bed. I've let it go, but I still put it on the bed feel strongly about a top sheet for all the reasons Emily is saying, which is that I don't wash the comforter cover. Yes but I'll wash the sheet. That's what the sheet is for that For I mean, you purpose of it. Exactly. The comforter cover takes a lot more time to wash, to dry, so you do that every once in a while. sheets you wash. more regularly. Well, I think she's ono something because I do think this is a trend. where the younger generation is abandoning the top sheet because it's too much work. Well, I don't even know, but I always there might be a classic case of top sheets in this economy Like this stries me as come together. But this strikes me as one of those articles where it's like, are millennials ruining the diamond business? and you're like, who's buying diambonds? I great. has money in this economy. up sheet money. T sheet money. and come together in a sheet set. And you can buy them separately, I guess, but like they they come in a bundle, except and this is my point because I think maybe people are wanting to drop the top sheet is that I went to buy like a new comforter and sheets for my daughter's bed. And when they arrived, there was no top sheet It was just a fitted sheet and then this cover that I put on her comforter. And I was gumpy about it because now I have to wash it all the time. and now I have to wrestle her duvet back into this top sheet slash Some sort of cover. You know what's happened? What The comomforter cover people have come for the top sheet So That's what's happening. We just cracked a case, Mam detective I f. Yes.. All right, Emily, that got us going, Sam, I'm sorry, top sheet or no for you. No, No top she. No, no topss sheet. I can't afford a tops sheet. I'm not You can't afford a top she. I don't have a fainting couch in my living room Oh my gosh, Chandeli Chandeliers. This is ridiculous. You go to target and you get a fitted sheet, a top sheet, and two pillowcases in a bundle Well, listen, we're not gonna provide you with a top sheet today, but speaking of bedding, we've got a little something for you because your birthday was last week which although as y'all are listening to this last month We celebrated off Might because we weren't recording that day.

Okay, tell us the story. Yeah So I was a prettyre much background actor on off as you know. But The reason how I got there was because I had certification to drive a forklift and stuff like that. So my background, I was a supervisor at a corrgation plant in San Jose, California and One more in I Boss oint in my two weeks notice And that kind of ended right there that day because he was kind of mad at me. He said, you can leave now. And I was like Okay Now had you gotten the background job in the office when you gave the two weeks notice? I was still in the Bay Area at this time. Okay. And then what made you want to get into putting yourself out there for acting at all? So after I moved to LA I was in twenty four I fitness Okay. And a guy told me, he was like, you should be on TV You were just working out. just working out. And a guy approached me and said, you should be on TV And I was like Oh. Okay, so how do you do that? So I just did some research and that's how I became on the show. This is like an old Hollywood lore story where it's like Greta Garbo is like somewhere and they're like, you should be in the movie. Yeah. I call the right place at the right time What was the office your first job then in the entertainment industry The office was actually my third. Okay, what was your first job I was um T one.

Rain, I never knew how that got to you. Yes. That is wonderful. Rain sent that to me. And I was in tears in Florida on the beach because I didn't know that Everyone cared Like that, you know Yeah. So we got married when me and my wife came back. I remember We went up to the office, went up to the set And you guys were at lunchtime. And that's when I introduced my wife to everyone. I brought like a chocolate basket with the chocolate fruit And I introduce my wife And then we thank you guys that gift. The she was so embarrassed Like because I had her standing next to me and I had to introduce her as my wife. It was so fun. It was amazing And I think that point in time Some of the writers didn't get a chance to to it. They hadn't Yeahah, the writers hadn't chipped in. Yeah. Yeah. so I get a call Maybe a week later And they wrote me in an episode So I was like, wait a minute Is this the Hollywood dream about to come true? Really? This is special about the office. I feel like. It is a really special. You know, Jen and I talk about it for years now on this podcast that it was a really special group of people.. And when you became a part of the office family, you were part of the offffice family. And we wanted to celebrate your accomplishments. We wanted to be with you if you were in hard times. You know, because there are people cast and crew who went through hard times and we rallied around them as well, you know, financially, emotionally. It was just a special place to work. Yes.. It was amazing. Positive. Yes. ye. Yes. everyveryone's so amazing O that show Well, when you first got your job And you're like, okay, I'm gonna to be a background player on this show.

Okay, so you're like, this is a one off that now you are getting a gift for your wedding and you're a part of it and they're writing a it more ab. Exactly, Exactly. They were like, you know, they could keep asking you to come back. Okay I was like, okay And in my head, as long as I keep doing great work, they'll ask me to come back. So that's what kept happening They asked me to come back, then asked me to come back again I didn't know that it was going to be a reoccurrnt part I just thought it was like a one and done. Yeah, yeah until my agent to call me, Hey, they want you to come back Hey, they want you to come back again And in the warehouse, you're heavily featured. I mean, I was kind of going through your IMDV list of episodes. sixteen. Yes So then I just started poking around. and there were moments that I had forgotten about. And I have to ask you about one. Okaykay. So obviously you have some great scenes between Glenn and Daryryl, but I want to ask you about funun runun part two, Michael crosses the finish line finally and he And you're the person standing right next to you. And I mean, I know that's like this gag that Steve Carell had to do, you know, like to make that all happen, but you're like the closest person to him. And I just I have to know like what was that like? Do you have like a vivid memory of like times when you were on set that you were like, I will never forget that Yes, the funun run was a great episode You know, just to be out there on the streets just running cut and then you Go around the corner, run again, cut. It didn't meet up at the park, cut. but That was my first time. justust watching someone puke on camera constantly, I thought that was pretty funny. And you didn't break? No, no. Did you ever break in a scene Did I ever? You know what? att that point in time, I was like, I want to keep coming back so no. Right rightight. I'm not gonna to be the one Yeah So you had never seen the show and now you're on the show. like what was your first impression of this crazy show that you were now on? Did anyone explain like this is a documentary or anything? No. Okay. No. I had to start watching it for myself. I don't know if you ladies knew it, but I always stood on set and watched you all do your thing So It was like Act in class for me you know, just to watch you all go off of each other and you guys were able to add certain things into it too. And it was just so crazy to me because I thought you had to be on script, but some of it was off script as well. So I was like, o, this is interesting Hey, I want to do this. like And so when we were in the warehouse, you were just taking you're likeental notes. Mental notes. were just spinning spinning and spinning and my head were just spinning.

It's that office family is forever. and every time any of us see each other, it's just a joyous occasion Yeah All right, well, should we get to a little around the town, lady? Let's do it Our first around the town is from Alexandra L and Corraville, Iowa Alexandra said every May, the town holds a citywide garage sale weekend, followed by a swap weekend where everyone can bring their unwanted stuff to the city hall parking lot and take whatever they want for free Items not claimed are donated to a nonprofit After that comes Mayor's Cleanup Week, where everyone puts the remaining unwanted items on the curb for trash pickups People all over town then drive around and pick out treasures before the trash pickup happens. It's amazing what you can find in good shape We always enjoy searching for treasures three weeks in a row. We've ended up with a play set, kidie pool, cat tree, patio set, tons of kids' clothes and so much else from these events. I've never lived anywhere so dedicated to reusing unwanted items ast is that. The whole town is spring cleaning at the same time. I love it. It's so smart. It's so smart. I love a garage sale. I love everything about this and then the swap and then the things for free. on veryy worse up about that one. Sorry, I was very excited. It's very cool mine is from Margaret C. and Maslen, Ohio, who said, O thriving, quote city of champions of thirty two thousand Maclonians is celebrating its two hundredth birthday this year Nland's history includes providing a safe haven of the underground railroad being a historic shipping town on the Ohio and Erie Canal and later a hub for steel and heavy industry Some of our town's many noted citizens include silent film stars Lilian and Dorothy Gish.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday, twenty five state wins, w Well done. Our next one is from Sam C in Gainesville, Florida. Sam says, at age twenty one, I just released my first album. I make music under the name Sam Coone. So to celebrate, I threw a cone themed listening party. My friends and I snacked on pop cone Coli, ice cream cones Chips, con queso, and bugles, o 'cause bugles are in the shape of a cone lady. While we listen to the album titled Whist Away, drinks included vodka cone berries and pina cone ladtas. We had a blast. Sam, congratulations. Yeah. twenty one. twenty one. come That way to go Wow. I don't know what I was doing at twenty one, but I hadn't just finished a whole album. I'll tell you that I know where I was when I turned twenty one Had you finished something like an album? I was writing a term paper at my desk and I didn't go out and celebrate, but I did go to The gas station My dad had gave me a gas card just for gas, but I would buy groceries on it And I went in proudly and I bought myself a coronita, which is a mini bottle of beer twenty first birthday, because you were in the middle of a term paper. Yes But it wasn't an album, Sam Cone. It was just a term paper Well, let's move on to our offffice question of the week This one is coming from Ella M in Louisiana who says, Hi office ladies, do you have a favorite show with a similar vibe as the office What other shows should office fans watch Well, my family just did a rewatch of modern family which has that same sort of like cutting away to talking heads to like interview segments. I think the comedy is really good. I would recommend that But you know what they don't do like we do breaks the fourth wall. So there's none of that looking to camera. It's not documentary style, but it's sort of documentary style But I think that's pretty close. Yeah I mean, this is a great question. I really liked it So I was thinking, know my family and I are watching right now It's the first time for the kids seeing it, but we're watching arrested deevelopment. Oh yeah. yeah. and it's got that very single camera. you kind of feel like you're watching like getting a peep inside some family's life. Yeah. it's very quirky, It's very funny. And then I was always a fan of Reno nine hundred and eleven. Oh, that's a great answer. Yeah. 'cause that is very much in the same style. And I think if I were thinking of like, newew shows like shows today, I would say jury duty by Leian Jene, for sure. So good. I would say Stt Dennis Medical and animal control Yeah And also you know the show, suuperstore created by Justin Spitzer. Oh yeah, has that similar vibe. It does. It's a good comedy. You know, for me, this idea of a fake documentary TV show goes back to the Larry Sanders show. I loved that show. So good. And if you haven't seen it, it's just fantastic. It's behind the scenes Of a late talk show of a late night talk show. In fact, the DP that shot the office pilot The Larry Sanders show He was just with us for that one episode, The pilot, Peter Smokler is his name. but You know, you're gonna see that same kind of style, but again, they don't break the fourth wall. and they don't do talking heads. It's more like caught on the fly documentary Yeah sort of thing. You know what I was thinking about as far as breaking the fourth wall in a really, really cool inventive way was Fleaabag Oh yes Because the scene plays out and then she'll look straight to camera and have this aside. Not to a documentary crew, it's like her inner thoughts to herself. Yes. And then if I could give a shameless plug, Ohh yeah, do it. become a recurring character on the Chit S show which is a group of Groundlings folks And it's a digital series And it's so fun and funny And It's in an office and there's all the camera whips and there's breaking the fourth wall. It's really taking me back. Like I love this group of people. and it's just been my absolute pleasure. I was so honored that they asked me. I was so flattered that they asked me. So I play bitsy who is the auditor from corporate who's come down. And so every once in a while I show up And no one likes no' real tough. No one's happy to see an auditor. No No. And Bitssy's really grouchy because she has a rash that goes from her knee to her neck. I love the n Bitsy by. She's having to deal with this rash all the time. and it just puts her in she's in a sour mood a lot. Yeah, go check that out. It's really fun to see Jenna in this role. And Angela, you've got a plug before we go. Oh oh gosh, I don't know. It's not so much a plug' just like, hey, if you guys are in Raleigh, North Carolina, july twenty fifth through the twenty sixth, Rne Wilson and I are going to be there at Galaxy Con And, you know, I love meeting office fans. I love chatting with people, so come say hi
