  Hello.

• 1:16Speaker 00

  Hi, lady. How are you?

• 1:18Speaker 01

  I'm very excited.

• 1:20Speaker 00

  Well, I'm excited. Before we get to it, you're having a super cute hair day.

• 1:24Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh, lady. I got my hair cut and I got it colored. And so it's like very fresh.

• 1:30Speaker 00

  You look salsa and fresh.

• 1:33Speaker 01

  Well, it's good timing, too, because we have a special guest today.

• 1:35Speaker 00

  We do. You guys.

• 1:37Speaker 01

  You gave me a compliment. Can I give you a compliment?

• 1:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:40Speaker 01

  I love your sweater. I said it when you walked in and you said it was.

• 1:43Speaker 00

  It's like six years old.

• 1:45Speaker 01

  It's so cute.

• 1:46Speaker 00

  Because I can't take a compliment. You're like, I like your sweater. And I was like, it's really old.

• 1:51Speaker 01

  Well, the point is, we look really stinking cute today, and it's a good thing because someone's here.

• 1:57Speaker 00

  Yeah, we zhuzhed up because we have a guest. Here today is Will Ferrell.

• 2:03Speaker 01

  Woo!

• 2:03Speaker 00

  Woo! Otherwise known as D'Angelo Vickers. We thought we would do a little, I don't know, summary of Will Ferrell, but come on, you guys all know him. He was on Saturday Night Live for so many years. He was amazing. He got an Emmy nomination for being on SNL.

• 2:19Speaker 01

  You know, he's also been in a gazillion movies. I was in a movie with him, Blades of Glory. He's also been in Elf, Anchorman, Kicking and Screaming, Talladega Nights, Semi-Pro, Step Brothers, and he received Golden Globe nominations for his roles in The Producers and Stranger Than Fiction, and for producing Vice.

• 2:38Speaker 00

  Also, he has done so many voiceovers. If you guys like the Lego movies like my kids, then you know he was Lord Business and he was hilarious. He might be the funniest person on the planet, Jenna. He might be one of the funniest people I've ever met.

• 2:53Speaker 01

  This is true.

• 2:54Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:55Speaker 01

  We got to spend over an hour chatting with him. We talked about his time on The Office, but we also just talked about life and.

• 3:02Speaker 00

  All kinds of things.

• 3:03Speaker 01

  All kinds of things. It was really fun. He's just, oh, my gosh, he's everything I remembered him to be when we worked with him.

• 3:11Speaker 00

  So nice, so funny, but just a charming human to be around.

• 3:17Speaker 01

  Well, before we get to that interview, we do have a little announcement, a little Office Ladies business.

• 3:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:24Speaker 01

  We are taking the next two weeks off.

• 3:26Speaker 00

  That's right. We have our kids' spring break.

• 3:29Speaker 01

  And I'm doing a movie.

• 3:32Speaker 00

  Jump roll, Jenna's doing a movie.

• 3:34Speaker 01

  Yes, I am doing the Mean Girls Movie Musical for Paramount Plus, written by Tina Fey.

• 3:42Speaker 00

  I can't wait to see it. It's gonna be so great. You said Tim Meadows is back?

• 3:46Speaker 01

  Yes, Tim Meadows is in it. And you know, I did Walk Hard with Tim Meadows, so I'm so excited.

• 3:52Speaker 00

  And he was on The Office. We love him.

• 3:55Speaker 01

  I play Ms. Haron. I play Katie's mom. I have shot one day on the movie so far, but now I have to go back to do the bulk of my work over these next couple of weeks. I mean, just based on the one day I've done so far, I could not be more excited. So, sorry, guys, but we have to hit pause on the podcast, but we'll be back in two weeks.

• 4:16Speaker 00

  Two weeks.

• 4:16Speaker 01

  All right, we're gonna take a break, and then we'll be back with Will Ferrell.

• 4:20Speaker 00

  Woo-hoo!

• 4:27Speaker 01

  This segment is presented by State Farm. Having people in your corner to help you makes all the difference. And with State Farm, you can feel good knowing that, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

• 4:39Speaker 00

  Okay, lady, I have a big share. It's kind of gonna blow your mind. So you know, my niece, Cece.

• 4:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 4:48Speaker 00

  Who we named Jim and Pam's baby after, Cece.

• 4:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 4:52Speaker 00

  The real Cece, my niece, just got her driver's license.

• 4:57Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh. She was a baby. Oh.

• 5:01Speaker 00

  She was just born when Jim and Pam's baby was born. So that means Jim and Pam's baby also just got her driver's license.

• 5:09Speaker 01

  Oh, I can't even. That's a mind meld.

• 5:12Speaker 00

  Isn't it? I mean, can you imagine? I mean, Jim is taking Cece out driving, and Pam is there trying to help fictional Cece get a little car, and I'm doing that with the real Cece. I'm helping my sister find a car for my niece, because she's got a summer job, and she's gonna be driving to her summer job.

• 5:33Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah. All that.

• 5:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. Isn't Jack, you know, they're driving to school now. They're very excited. They carpool. It's a wild world.

• 5:44Speaker 01

  It is. And you know, it's a big thing to add another car to the family, another driver to the family.

• 5:49Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 5:49Speaker 01

  You have to take care of that car, maintain it, insure it, all those things. And with State Farm, you can keep your focus on what matters to you because you know that, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

  Yay, Will's here.

• 6:54Speaker 02

  I love the theme song.

• 6:56Speaker 00

  Thank you.

• 6:57Speaker 02

  Wait, you're best friends?

• 6:58Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 7:01Speaker 02

  Did that, was that pre this show or during the show?

• 7:05Speaker 01

  During the show.

• 7:06Speaker 02

  You guys became friends on the show?

• 7:08Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 7:09Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 7:10Speaker 00

  Became besties.

• 7:12Speaker 02

  And maybe one of, if not the, greatest takeaway of doing the show in a weird way, right?

• 7:16Speaker 01

  100%.

• 7:17Speaker 02

  100%.

• 7:18Speaker 00

  That's what Steve said.

• 7:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 7:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:20Speaker 01

  Do you have a best friend, Will?

• 7:22Speaker 02

  From The Office?

• 7:24Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 7:25Speaker 02

  That I made?

• 7:25Speaker 01

  Because we're only, that's the only context.

• 7:27Speaker 02

  It's only Office-specific.

• 7:29Speaker 00

  In those four episodes.

• 7:31Speaker 01

  Who is your best friend from those four episodes? You can say Steve. You knew him before.

• 7:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, I guess I'll say Steve.

• 7:37Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 7:38Speaker 02

  Since I knew him before.

• 7:39Speaker 00

  Okay. Not Creed. You and Creed aren't hanging out.

• 7:42Speaker 02

  I didn't talk to Creed that much.

• 7:45Speaker 01

  No.

• 7:45Speaker 02

  I didn't talk to any, it was an interesting time.

• 7:50Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 7:50Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 7:51Speaker 01

  This sounds like it's gonna be a hard hitting.

• 7:53Speaker 02

  Interesting time. Well, anyway.

• 7:54Speaker 00

  We'll get there. I bet we have some questions that crack that open.

• 7:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 7:59Speaker 00

  Okay, best friend in real life?

• 8:01Speaker 02

  Best friend in real life.

• 8:04Speaker 01

  You can say their first name only if you don't want to alienate all the other friends.

• 8:11Speaker 02

  I'm gonna say the initial J.

• 8:16Speaker 00

  Jay's been there for you through thick and thin.

• 8:19Speaker 02

  Thick and thin.

• 8:20Speaker 00

  All right, well, here we go. In preparing for this interview, Jenna and I were Googling. We were looking you up on the internet.

• 8:27Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 8:28Speaker 00

  I stumbled across something on your Wikipedia page that really cracked me up. I have to read it to you.

• 8:34Speaker 02

  Let's see if it's, if it holds muster.

• 8:37Speaker 00

  Right. Okay, they list all the types of acting genres that you were featured in. Ready? Here are the genres. Improvisational comedy, sketch comedy, physical comedy, character comedy, cringe comedy, political satire, surreal humor, anti-humor, and deadpan.

• 9:00Speaker 02

  Wow. Does that like?

• 9:04Speaker 01

  Those are all the things.

• 9:04Speaker 02

  That's the whole spectrum.

• 9:05Speaker 01

  You can do.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  In comedy, in a weird way.

• 9:08Speaker 00

  I mean.

• 9:09Speaker 02

  I love cringe.

• 9:10Speaker 00

  Cringe comedy.

• 9:11Speaker 02

  And that I'm, I'm in anti-comedy.

• 9:13Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 9:15Speaker 01

  That's the one I didn't understand. What is anti-humor?

• 9:18Speaker 00

  I mean.

• 9:19Speaker 01

  Is that not drama?

• 9:20Speaker 02

  I guess. Or is it something that's actually really funny that that person thought was not funny and described it as anti-comedy?

• 9:33Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 9:34Speaker 00

  I don't know. I couldn't tell.

• 9:35Speaker 02

  Things that go over people. I've never heard that.

• 9:37Speaker 00

  Yeah, I couldn't tell if they were praising you or throwing shade at you.

• 9:40Speaker 02

  It's on my Wikipedia page, which I obviously don't curate at all. But I'm gonna now start telling people that's my specialty, anti-comedy.

• 9:48Speaker 00

  Anti-humor.

• 9:50Speaker 02

  Look on Wikipedia.

• 9:51Speaker 00

  Some people think it's there.

• 9:53Speaker 02

  It's there.

• 9:53Speaker 00

  Some people think it's deadpan.

• 9:55Speaker 02

  No, no, no. It's anti-comedy. Anti-humor.

• 9:57Speaker 00

  This is anti-humor.

• 9:59Speaker 02

  Anti-humor.

• 9:59Speaker 01

  Will, before we get started, I did want to introduce myself to you. Jenna Fisher.

• 10:05Speaker 02

  Right.

• 10:05Speaker 01

  We did Blades of Glory together. We did The Office.

• 10:09Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 10:10Speaker 01

  This is a little inside joke, because I told a story on the podcast, I'm sure you don't remember, but early on, in knowing you, every time I would run into you after we did Blades of Glory, I would say, Will, hey, Jenna Fisher, we did Blades of Glory. And at one event, you finally, you took me by the hand. You said, Jenna, I know who you are. I do, I know you.

• 10:35Speaker 00

  Introduce me every time.

• 10:37Speaker 01

  I was like, I was like, okay, well, you've worked with so many people. You've done so many things. I just thought maybe I would help you recall me if needed.

• 10:47Speaker 02

  Right.

• 10:48Speaker 01

  It was really a sweet moment.

• 10:50Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 10:50Speaker 01

  You're like, you don't ever have to do this.

• 10:52Speaker 00

  So I told her, I told her when you showed up today, I was like, you have to introduce yourself.

• 10:56Speaker 01

  Introduce yourself again.

• 10:58Speaker 02

  Was there something else we worked on too? Or were those the two main things?

• 11:02Speaker 01

  You know, it's so funny. I felt like there was.

• 11:04Speaker 02

  I felt like there was too.

• 11:05Speaker 01

  But in Googling us, I couldn't find it. What else have we done?

• 11:09Speaker 02

  I thought there was something before Blades.

• 11:12Speaker 00

  Were you in Step Brothers?

• 11:13Speaker 01

  No.

• 11:14Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 11:14Speaker 01

  But I was in that movie with Will Arnett and Will Forte, the brother Solomon.

• 11:20Speaker 02

  Solomon, I wasn't in that.

• 11:21Speaker 01

  But you weren't in that.

• 11:22Speaker 00

  No.

• 11:22Speaker 01

  I know. I went through my list of things.

• 11:26Speaker 02

  They weren't looking for anti-humor.

• 11:28Speaker 00

  No.

• 11:29Speaker 01

  I guess not. No. So you didn't get the job.

• 11:31Speaker 02

  The phone didn't ring.

• 11:32Speaker 01

  Not for that one.

• 11:33Speaker 02

  Not for that one.

• 11:34Speaker 01

  No.

• 11:35Speaker 00

  Here is a question we ask all of our guests. How did you get your job on The Office?

• 11:40Speaker 02

  I got my job on The Office. I had called up my peeps.

• 11:47Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 11:48Speaker 02

  My, my representation. No, I'd just thrown it out that I knew it was Steve's last year. And I just said, God, I would love to do something in that last season. I was thinking it'd be just a cameo or whatever.

• 12:04Speaker 00

  Right.

• 12:04Speaker 02

  It's up for anything. And my agent called me back and said, oh, yeah, they're thrilled. In fact, they want to know, Greg was like, would you actually want to do a whole arc? Like four shows? And I thought, yeah, why not? That'd be great. But that's what I was alluding to when I didn't talk to many people on the set because those last shows were emotionally charged and you guys were all having a moment. I'm like, what am I doing here? I shouldn't be here.

• 12:37Speaker 02

  I was always like, oh my God, everyone's crying. Here's another read through. Everyone's going to cry. And I was like, I was invited to the party and I wasn't, someone realized way after the fact, Will shouldn't be here. And while I had a great time and it was so fun to, you know, be a part of your guys' thing, there was a big part of me that was like, I just really felt like an outsider to no one's fault, but

• 13:05Speaker 00

  Right.

• 13:05Speaker 02

  it was like, as you guys know, this end of an era and

• 13:11Speaker 01

  We were all just in our feelings.

• 13:13Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. And, and you should have been. And so that's, that's where I was like, I didn't talk to a lot of people because I didn't feel like

• 13:20Speaker 00

  You were like, I'm just going to stay out of the way.

• 13:22Speaker 02

  I'm just going to stay out of the way.

• 13:24Speaker 00

  Uh huh.

• 13:24Speaker 02

  Because you guys are all having private moments and it was almost, you know, it was like, sign my yearbook. End of year. Make sure.

• 13:33Speaker 00

  So I have such a distinct memory. When we were doing Michael's Last Dundees.

• 13:37Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 13:37Speaker 00

  My character gets the award for kind of a bitch and I had to go up there. And while we were doing the scene, they sort of, we had a moment where we took our lighting break or something and I was standing next to you and I just said to you, how's it going? And you said, you said, oh, it's great. It's great. Um, I kind of feel like I'm doing comedy bits at a funeral sometimes. And I was like, yeah, yeah. But I'll just never forget. I was like, oh, this is going to be so hard. It's going to be so hard to come in and try to be like the new funny guy. And we're all just like,

• 14:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:13Speaker 01

  We had a really fun fan question. This question from Joanna asks, did anyone advise you not to take this role?

• 14:24Speaker 02

  Oh, Joanna, uh, no, no one. But I, that makes me laugh, the image of a lot of people calling me going, be careful.

• 14:35Speaker 00

  Don't do it.

• 14:35Speaker 02

  Don't do it. Hey.

• 14:37Speaker 00

  You might want to.

• 14:38Speaker 02

  Can we talk?

• 14:41Speaker 02

  You might want to.

• 14:42Speaker 00

  Although you might be great at it because there might be some anti-humor.

• 14:45Speaker 02

  Yeah. No, no one, no one advised me not to take the role, which, you know, previously to what we were talking about, it was so fun to be there too. You know, it was great to watch you guys all work and be a part of that as well. But, um, but it was really surreal. Yeah.

• 15:05Speaker 01

  From our perspective, you folded into the show so naturally.

• 15:09Speaker 02

  Oh, good.

• 15:10Speaker 01

  Like so easily. And you were there that one episode after Steve had left.

• 15:16Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 15:17Speaker 01

  You stayed for one more. And oh my gosh, we were so happy to have you there.

• 15:22Speaker 02

  Just as a little bit of a bridge.

• 15:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:26Speaker 01

  And your energy is similar to Steve's. You guys are both so nice.

• 15:30Speaker 02

  Right.

• 15:30Speaker 01

  And just your kindness and your humor. We were like, okay, good.

• 15:36Speaker 02

  But singing the Rent song in the, you know, and Steve losing it. I was like, if there was a camera on me, I'd be like, oh, he's not acting. Oh, he's

• 15:47Speaker 00

  That Darren Headlight says real.

• 15:49Speaker 02

  I was like, oh my God. Okay. Yeah. Right. Of course. Oh, now I get the scene.

• 15:57Speaker 02

  But that was really, that was so sweet and powerful and

• 16:01Speaker 00

  Yeah. And we were all crying. We were all looking at you because you were standing in the front of the room with Steve and we were all looking at you crying.

• 16:08Speaker 01

  I am just now in this moment.

• 16:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:10Speaker 01

  Like putting myself in your shoes and imagining what it must have been like for you to stand there and Steve is crying next to you. We're all crying and you're just like,

• 16:19Speaker 02

  as D'Angelo Vickers, who has no emotional attachment, then the more, more takes we did, then I started, it started getting to me too.

• 16:29Speaker 00

  Right. And you're like, D'Angelo can't cry here.

• 16:32Speaker 02

  D'Angelo can't cry here. He doesn't, he doesn't have anything invested.

• 16:36Speaker 01

  Here's another fan question.

• 16:38Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 16:38Speaker 01

  This is from Shell F. Had you watched the show before you came on?

• 16:43Speaker 02

  Yes, I had watched the show many a time. And yeah, I was a fan like everyone else and just loved, you know, all, all the stuff everyone was doing and all the, the writing and the cast and just as you guys know, kind of a perfect storm of all those things put together, which is why the combination of that and knowing Steve, but all of those things were the reason why I called up. I was like, gosh, would they, would they fit me in? And you guys did.

• 17:14Speaker 00

  And you got to go play with one of your best friends.

• 17:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly.

• 17:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 17:17Speaker 02

  Exactly. And that was so fun to revisiting the episodes. I had totally forgotten that first.

• 17:28Speaker 00

  The first meeting between Michael and D'Angelo?

• 17:31Speaker 02

  Where we're at the bar and calling each other and we don't realize it. And it was like I was watching them all for the first time. It was just so fun to see how well constructed that was. And just, yeah, so stupid. Right?

• 17:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 17:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:45Speaker 00

  Okay. This is actually a great time for me to share this with you. I saw online a list of fan favorite quotes from D'Angelo.

• 17:52Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 17:52Speaker 00

  Here are some really good ones. Top of the list, Colorado, the sunshine state.

• 17:57Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 17:58Speaker 00

  That baby could be the star of a show called Babies I Don't Care About.

• 18:03Speaker 00

  Everyone I know who skis is dead. I never touched another juggler's instruments. And then is there an animal shelter on the way? Annie Annie Shelto.

• 18:13Speaker 02

  You know what's really fun about having done those four shows is the gift that keeps on giving, which is the, you know, Greg and Paul obviously thought of that bit of the juggling without my juggling apparatus.

• 18:31Speaker 01

  We got more mail about that scene.

• 18:33Speaker 00

  Oh, my gosh.

• 18:34Speaker 01

  People want to hear everything you have to say about the juggling.

• 18:38Speaker 02

  But I remember thinking, how, how and why did you guys think of it this way? I forget what their reason was, but that was just such a genius weirdo thing that he still wants to show off his juggling.

• 18:51Speaker 00

  Yes. Yeah.

• 18:52Speaker 01

  He had his boombox. Without any juggling.

• 18:54Speaker 02

  Yes. And I have now done that bit on stage no less than 20 times.

• 19:02Speaker 01

  Really?

• 19:03Speaker 02

  Because it's like a go-to, because you know, people will have like a little charity show or this and that where it's like, would you come do

• 19:12Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 19:13Speaker 02

  A five minute thing or whatever you want to do. It's like ready-made.

• 19:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:18Speaker 02

  Perfect. So I'll come out and I'll say, just introduce me as so-and-so and that I'm a juggler who's worked for 20 years down at Fisherman's Wharf in, in San Francisco or something. So I come out, I do the whole thing of like, I'm so sorry. I've, I left. I have a little case. I'll open up and there'll be nothing in there.

• 19:36Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh. What's happened to them?

• 19:38Speaker 02

  I'm so embarrassed. All my juggling balls, I left them in my other case. I don't know what to do. And then coax the audience and like, unless I could just do my act without them and then everyone applauds.

• 19:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 19:48Speaker 02

  And I do the whole thing.

• 19:50Speaker 00

  Do you do the balls invisibly on someone's head?

• 19:53Speaker 02

  Yes. I'll pull someone out of the audience.

• 19:55Speaker 00

  I love that.

• 19:56Speaker 02

  And then I'll do that and

• 19:58Speaker 01

  I believe that defies like physics and gravity. It's not a possible move.

• 20:02Speaker 02

  And I whisper to them like, stay as still as you can.

• 20:07Speaker 02

  And people will be, take it really seriously and they'll sit in the chair.

• 20:10Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:10Speaker 02

  And they won't blink. And I'll just throw the balls off their head.

• 20:15Speaker 02

  And I, I play the same, uh,

• 20:17Speaker 00

  Evanescence.

• 20:17Speaker 02

  Evanescence song. I do the whole thing. Anyway.

• 20:20Speaker 01

  That is amazing.

• 20:21Speaker 02

  It's the gift that keeps on giving.

• 20:22Speaker 01

  One of my favorite part of it is at the end, when you, it lands on the back of your

• 20:27Speaker 00

  Yes. Yes.

• 20:28Speaker 01

  You're going to catch it there.

• 20:29Speaker 00

  And Kevin's like, didn't drop a single ball.

• 20:33Speaker 02

  Right.

• 20:36Speaker 02

  So that, that was a highlight for sure.

• 20:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:39Speaker 02

  For me. But also to just have to force you guys to watch it all for how many takes that I, I don't know.

• 20:46Speaker 00

  I saw myself breaking in so many takes with you. So many I would see. And, and also not just me, but you would see shoulders, like the shoulders are the dead giveaway. And we were cracking up. And then I just wanted to know, and we had people write in, have you ever juggled? Do you know anything about juggling?

• 21:03Speaker 02

  No, I still can't juggle to this day.

• 21:05Speaker 01

  You can't? You're such a good fake juggler.

• 21:07Speaker 02

  Didn't give me, well, it didn't like spur me on to like, maybe I should really try juggling, like, and just pretend, like, I'm faking it pretty well. I still can't do it. I still haven't tried. I still can't do it.

• 21:20Speaker 00

  Oh, you know what? We have talked about this. Your character has such a great way that he introduces himself to everyone in the bullpen. And we really wanted you to hear it. And then Jenna's going to share with you a second part that didn't make it in that we found in the shooting draft.

• 21:35Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 21:36Speaker 03

  Presenting D'Angelo Vickers.

• 21:42Speaker 03

  Hi. Hello. Come on out.

• 21:48Speaker 02

  Hello. How are you, sir?

• 21:51Speaker 03

  I'm well, sir. How are you?

• 21:52Speaker 02

  Uh, can I just say I am, I am so excited to be working here. A little bit about myself, I love the American Southwest, for starters. You may call them Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah. I call them heaven. I have a peanut allergy, something I live with. It's a part of me. I've learned to cope with it. What else? I'm, I'm just as comfortable at a ballgame as I am at the opera.

• 22:19Speaker 01

  And then there was this line where you would have said, I've never ridden a motorcycle. I've had chances, it just doesn't interest me. And I love the idea that in introducing yourself to someone, you include something that does not interest you. Like, here's some stuff about me. It'll get to know you, but one thing you need to know, motorcycles do not interest me.

• 22:42Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 22:43Speaker 01

  And so we were wondering if you had to introduce yourself in the D'Angelo Vickers style, what might you, what might you include as your non-interests? Angela's is like hardcore exercise.

• 22:53Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah. Like, if I met a group of people I'd never met before, I might say, hi, my name is Angela, I grew up overseas, um, I like hummingbirds. I am not interested in anyone yelling at me when I exercise.

• 23:06Speaker 02

  Okay, yeah.

• 23:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 23:07Speaker 02

  I would probably say, hi, I'm Will. I'm from Orange County. I do enjoy vigorous exercise, but I have no interest in skydiving.

• 23:20Speaker 00

  Don't talk to me about skydiving.

• 23:22Speaker 02

  Did you?

• 23:23Speaker 00

  No.

• 23:23Speaker 02

  Do it?

• 23:24Speaker 00

  No.

• 23:24Speaker 01

  I've never done it.

• 23:25Speaker 02

  No.

• 23:26Speaker 00

  No, I don't want, I don't want to do it.

• 23:28Speaker 02

  No, I don't, yeah.

• 23:29Speaker 00

  No.

• 23:29Speaker 01

  So if you were offered a film?

• 23:31Speaker 02

  Right.

• 23:31Speaker 01

  Or a project?

• 23:32Speaker 02

  Right, that

• 23:33Speaker 01

  That involved a skydiving moment, you would say, hard pass. That's gonna be a stunt person.

• 23:39Speaker 02

  That's gonna definitely be a stunt person.

• 23:40Speaker 01

  You're gonna need to find someone that looks just like me.

• 23:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:43Speaker 01

  And have them fall from the sky, because I'm not doing it.

• 23:45Speaker 02

  Because even if I really got talked into it, because I don't know if you, have you guys had things where you're like, at first you're like, no way, hard pass, and then, it's really safe, want to do it this way, da, da, da, and you're like, okay, I can't. I don't know if I could look Vivica in the eye and be like, I'm just, honey, I'm gonna do this skydiving thing. It's gonna be totally cool.

• 24:10Speaker 00

  Your wife would be like, no.

• 24:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, she's gonna be like, really? Is it that essential? Like, you're right.

• 24:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:16Speaker 02

  They can get someone else.

• 24:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:18Speaker 01

  But you have done a lot of stuff.

• 24:20Speaker 02

  I've done a lot of things that later I was like, why did I?

• 24:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, like, I did, I did, um, I was out in the wilderness with Bear Grylls on the Bear Grylls show, and I was hanging from a helicopter.

• 24:32Speaker 00

  I saw that.

• 24:32Speaker 02

  Twice.

• 24:33Speaker 00

  I saw that.

• 24:34Speaker 02

  And later I was like, I thought, I didn't need to do that.

• 24:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 24:39Speaker 02

  But I got wrapped up in trying to get Bear Grylls to like me.

• 24:43Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 24:47Speaker 01

  I just watched the movie Downhill, because I have recently become sort of a skiing fanatic. I just started skiing in my life during the pandemic. I'm slightly upset. I'm leaving today, after this interview,

• 25:01Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 25:01Speaker 01

  to go to Utah to ski.

• 25:04Speaker 00

  This is just so wild to me.

• 25:06Speaker 02

  You're taking it on right now in life, this is your life.

• 25:09Speaker 01

  Yes. I learned how to ski, put skis on my legs for the first time when I was 46. And I'm turning 49 this year.

• 25:16Speaker 02

  Because most people learn at an early age.

• 25:19Speaker 01

  Yes. I grew up in Missouri. No skiing there.

• 25:23Speaker 02

  Not even one, like, not even like a little bunny hill?

• 25:26Speaker 01

  You know what? I should say, there is a place where you can ski, but, I mean, come on.

• 25:32Speaker 02

  Right, come on. Let's be honest.

• 25:34Speaker 01

  It's not really

• 25:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:36Speaker 02

  No.

• 25:36Speaker 01

  Skiing.

• 25:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:38Speaker 01

  I watched Downhill.

• 25:40Speaker 02

  Right.

• 25:41Speaker 01

  Are you skiing? Is that you?

• 25:42Speaker 02

  I'm ski, yeah.

• 25:44Speaker 01

  You're so good.

• 25:45Speaker 02

  I'm not skiing the, where I fall and do the fall.

• 25:48Speaker 01

  Right?

• 25:49Speaker 02

  There's a fall part, right?

• 25:50Speaker 01

  Yeah. Are we cutting to you at the end, when you're already on the ground?

• 25:53Speaker 02

  We're, after I get my head on the thing.

• 25:55Speaker 01

  Yes, yes, on the thing, yeah.

• 25:56Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 25:57Speaker 01

  Right.

• 25:58Speaker 02

  That was me acting after I hit my head.

• 26:00Speaker 01

  Yes. It was very good.

• 26:01Speaker 00

  I'm gonna add that to your Wikipedia.

• 26:05Speaker 01

  Injury comedy.

• 26:06Speaker 00

  Yeah, injury comedy.

• 26:08Speaker 02

  Injury comedy, which is, again, under the category of anti-humor.

• 26:14Speaker 01

  It is. I think that falls, yeah.

• 26:16Speaker 02

  Uh, but no, all that other skiing?

• 26:18Speaker 01

  Is you.

• 26:19Speaker 02

  That's me. But Julia Louis-Dreyfus, she's an excellent skier.

• 26:23Speaker 01

  She was very good in the film as well.

• 26:24Speaker 02

  She can do the moguls and everything. I can't quite do the moguls.

• 26:27Speaker 01

  No? Okay.

• 26:28Speaker 02

  So that, the movie you're referring to, we shot in Austria, and that's a whole nother kind of, how do you describe it? Let's just say the Austrians are not afraid to cut in line.

• 26:42Speaker 01

  Oh, oh.

• 26:42Speaker 02

  Or whoosh right in front of you, like, you really have to be

• 26:46Speaker 00

  Aggressive.

• 26:47Speaker 01

  It's a different

• 26:48Speaker 02

  It's, skiing is their natural, national sport.

• 26:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 26:52Speaker 02

  And so everyone skis, and there were times when you're, because there's a certain etiquette in waiting in the lift line, where, you know, we give ourselves

• 26:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 27:00Speaker 02

  a little space in between. There would be, some guy would have his ski jammed in between my legs, pressed up against my back, and I would look back

• 27:12Speaker 00

  Like, hey.

• 27:12Speaker 02

  To give the non-verbal, like, hello, and he, this person just looked straight ahead.

• 27:18Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 27:19Speaker 02

  And then keep scootin', like, pressing against my shoulder blade. And, uh, I thought, oh, this is just the way they do it. That, that was weird, and the other thing was, you'd get to the top of a beautiful mountain, riding the gondola, and, and then there's just cigarette butts everywhere.

• 27:37Speaker 01

  Really?

• 27:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, it was so bizarre. Just this, you just look out, and just this beautiful landscape, and then littered with cigarette butts.

• 27:46Speaker 00

  So Ski Austria?

• 27:47Speaker 02

  So Ski Austria. So I would do, you guys know

• 27:51Speaker 01

  I'm so sorry. I feel, this is, is this like a paid commercial for Ski Austria?

• 27:56Speaker 00

  Because, were you here today?

• 27:58Speaker 01

  Is that why you're here?

• 28:00Speaker 02

  I just have to mention

• 28:00Speaker 01

  Did you bait me into talking about skiing?

• 28:04Speaker 02

  If you fly into

• 28:06Speaker 00

  Hashtag.

• 28:07Speaker 02

  Hashtag.

• 28:11Speaker 02

  Stay at the hotel. There was one of the towns The town that

• 28:18Speaker 01

  Use code WILL40 for 40% off your first night.

• 28:20Speaker 02

  What happens in Ischel stays in Ischel.

• 28:23Speaker 01

  Hashtag cigarette butts.

• 28:25Speaker 02

  Hashtag cigarette butts.

• 28:27Speaker 00

  I don't even know where we are.

• 28:28Speaker 02

  I don't know where we are either.

• 28:29Speaker 00

  I don't either. I love it.

• 28:30Speaker 01

  I have something. I read that when you were in college, you worked at a small-town television station?

• 28:36Speaker 02

  Yes. This was just local cable.

• 28:39Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 28:40Speaker 02

  Around and about Orange County news.

• 28:42Speaker 00

  Oh, I love that.

• 28:44Speaker 02

  Seen by no one.

• 28:45Speaker 01

  Was this before you had decided to go into acting? Like, was this like, maybe I'll do this?

• 28:51Speaker 02

  Well, I was, I had my degree in sports information.

• 28:56Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. Oh.

• 28:57Speaker 02

  Real major.

• 28:59Speaker 00

  You know what?

• 29:00Speaker 01

  What do you learn?

• 29:01Speaker 00

  That's like the class I took called Ideas of Mathematics. It was like me and the defensive line of a football team.

• 29:07Speaker 02

  Oh, right, right, right.

• 29:08Speaker 01

  We just talked about ideas of math.

• 29:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, just ideas. General notions. Um, that was basically sports journalism degree.

• 29:16Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 29:17Speaker 02

  So that's kind of where I thought I was gonna, that was a more legit way to get into entertainment.

• 29:24Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 29:25Speaker 02

  And so I was, I had my degree, but I was, I didn't really have a job. It's not like I got hired out of college. I moved back home and I started working at this local cable thing. And so I did that for like a year and a half, and, and I'd heard, like, people had gotten hired out of there and had, you know, because the whole thing is to put together a tape that you send out, and so while I was doing that, though, I thought, I remember there was a, they had really good press credentials to like, go to, they needed someone to go to the LA Rams

• 30:02Speaker 00

  And you had press credentials, so you could like, get on the field and stuff?

• 30:05Speaker 02

  You could get on the field and like, interview the coach and all the stuff like that. They were like, so we need someone to go do this, and everyone's hand shot up. And my first thought was like, what day is that? Hmm, do I really, oh, I got something on Sunday. Yeah.

• 30:22Speaker 00

  Maybe I don't really want to do it.

• 30:23Speaker 02

  Yeah, and I, I, it wasn't like, oh, gosh, I need that for my tape, which is what you have to have.

• 30:30Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 30:31Speaker 02

  Mine was more like, who can I, I gotta bring a friend to operate the camera. Oh, it's gonna be a pain. And I thought, oh, that's

• 30:38Speaker 00

  I can't wear shorts.

• 30:39Speaker 02

  Right. I thought, that's not a good sign. That kind of coincided with, I just started thinking, oh, I'm gonna have to try to go for this comedy thing, because I keep thinking about

• 30:54Speaker 00

  Doing bits.

• 30:55Speaker 02

  Wanting, doing bits and wanting to do it, and I would go and, I would sit at the improv in Irvine and sit in the back of the room at an open mic night and almost sign my name to the list, but be too afraid, and, and go consecutive weeks and just watch three hours of comedy and sit there and think, well, that person, oh, they're terrible.

• 31:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:19Speaker 02

  I'm much better than them.

• 31:21Speaker 00

  They should have set it up like this.

• 31:23Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:23Speaker 02

  And, or, ooh, they're really good. And I would just like, kind of see what, and, so I was kind of doing that. I started taking my first class at the Groundlings. I was taking some acting class, so I was, I was kind of doing all that while I was working at the news station.

• 31:41Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 31:42Speaker 02

  And then the comedy won out.

• 31:44Speaker 01

  You found your passion, yeah.

• 31:45Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 31:46Speaker 02

  And it was, it was that I didn't really want to be a new, I wanted to be Chevy Chase doing the news. I didn't want to actually be doing the news, is what kind of came through. I once did a news story, I did a story on, uh, there was a team of goats that the city of Laguna Beach would hire to clear all the brush

• 32:08Speaker 00

  Uh-huh.

• 32:09Speaker 02

  as a way of fire mitigation.

• 32:10Speaker 00

  Right, right.

• 32:11Speaker 02

  So I did a story on that. It was not a great piece of journalism, at all. Super dry. Like, I wish I had copies of these stories.

• 32:20Speaker 00

  There's about, there's about 15 goats here today.

• 32:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. I'm in front of the Laguna Beach, you know, it's like, super stiff and this and that. But I noticed when I filmed some of the goats, some of the footage, they looked like they were singing, so I did the story, as much of it as there was to tell a story, and then I just added opera music to these goats singing.

• 32:43Speaker 02

  It blew. The guy who ran the station, who was our editor and also the teacher of the class was like, that's the way you do a story. You added a little pizzazz. It was hilarious. And I was like, it wasn't that. I just added.

• 32:57Speaker 01

  You made that goat story really pop.

• 32:59Speaker 02

  Yeah. And I thought, oh, that's funny. That's, I'm more interested in messing around.

• 33:06Speaker 00

  I could never do anything in front of a group of people without doing a bit.

• 33:11Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 33:11Speaker 00

  And you know, you can't do bits with strangers for the most part.

• 33:14Speaker 02

  Right, right, right, right.

• 33:15Speaker 00

  But like, I was in charge of basically like the minutes in my sorority.

• 33:20Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 33:20Speaker 00

  And I would get up.

• 33:21Speaker 02

  My fraternity was a big stage for me as well.

• 33:24Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 33:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:25Speaker 00

  So I had to get up and sort of say how the, you know, the pledge dance went and what everyone ate. And I just started doing all these bits.

• 33:32Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:33Speaker 00

  And it was like crickets. There were like three gals that laughed. And then, then I also offended a few people because I guess they, I did a bit about the chicken dish and I, it was a big deal. I guess there was a committee that voted on this chicken dish and they were really pissed off at me. And, but I just couldn't wait to get up there again the next week and give minutes.

• 33:55Speaker 02

  But did you slowly win them over in a way?

• 33:58Speaker 00

  Some, not all.

• 34:00Speaker 01

  It seems like the answer is no.

• 34:01Speaker 00

  Yeah. But I couldn't wait to get, I was like, oh, I, what am I, I can't get up there.

• 34:06Speaker 01

  It was your first open mic.

• 34:08Speaker 02

  I did the same thing. I was our song chairman.

• 34:10Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 34:11Speaker 02

  And so during the chapter meet, there, there's no, there was no reason for the song chairman to ever speak.

• 34:18Speaker 00

  But you were like, once again, we need to hear from the song chairman.

• 34:21Speaker 02

  I made the song chairman's report.

• 34:23Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 34:23Speaker 02

  And I had Monday night class, so I couldn't be there. So I tape recorded a report and it became this thing.

• 34:30Speaker 00

  And they would play it?

• 34:31Speaker 02

  They would play it and everyone would be like, shh, everyone be quiet. And so they would play the song chairman's report and I would just, I'd make fun of people.

• 34:42Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 34:42Speaker 02

  In the house. I would do this, I would do that. And it became a huge hit.

• 34:45Speaker 00

  I don't think I became a hit.

• 34:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:47Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 34:47Speaker 02

  So.

• 34:48Speaker 01

  Do you consider Saturday Night Live like your quote unquote, big break? Or was there something before that that really felt like your big break?

• 34:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, no question. That was definitely, I mean, there was, there was one week when I was still, before I auditioned for Saturday Night Live, there was a week here in LA where I got three jobs in one week.

• 35:12Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 35:12Speaker 02

  Now, they were all like five and, they were like one line each.

• 35:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, but still, that feels huge. Yeah.

• 35:17Speaker 02

  I landed three, on three different sitcoms. That almost was like, I still think of that, you know, and it like got, it was then just after, uh,

• 35:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 35:29Speaker 02

  Got my after card from, you know.

• 35:31Speaker 00

  You're official, you're in the union.

• 35:33Speaker 02

  And so I remember, so that was huge. And then of course, yeah, the Saturday Night Live thing was bonkers.

• 35:40Speaker 01

  How long, how long had you been a struggling actor or an aspiring actor before you landed on Saturday Night Live?

• 35:47Speaker 02

  Let's see, I, I would have graduated college in 90 and I got on the show in, I was hired the summer of 95.

• 35:59Speaker 01

  So about five years.

• 36:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, knocking around.

• 36:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:02Speaker 01

  Just got your after card.

• 36:04Speaker 02

  Just got, yeah.

• 36:05Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:05Speaker 01

  That's pretty cool.

• 36:06Speaker 02

  Doing, uh, yeah, doing whatever, like we all were.

• 36:09Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:09Speaker 02

  Just kind of like finding any sort of like variety show in LA.

• 36:13Speaker 00

  Did you have any odd jobs while you were struggling actor?

• 36:16Speaker 02

  I answered phones.

• 36:17Speaker 00

  Did you really?

• 36:18Speaker 02

  I answered phones at a real estate auction company.

• 36:20Speaker 01

  What is that?

• 36:21Speaker 02

  And then I, and then I answered phones at a art auction company, which my friend, now wife, Vivica, got me the job. So I was, I was our appraisal coordinator.

• 36:34Speaker 02

  At Butterfield and Butterfield.

• 36:35Speaker 00

  You appraised art?

• 36:37Speaker 02

  No, I typed up the appraisals.

• 36:38Speaker 00

  You typed it up.

• 36:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:39Speaker 00

  Coordinator, coordinator.

• 36:41Speaker 02

  I coordinated.

• 36:42Speaker 00

  Right. The appraisal.

• 36:44Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 36:44Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 36:44Speaker 02

  Let's, yeah. No, I got hired at SNL and still worked at the auction company for another month.

• 36:52Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 36:53Speaker 02

  Cause they didn't, they weren't going to pay you till the first week of the show. And I had bills to pay. But there were other coworkers, I'd be in my cubicle and like, hey, didn't you get on Saturday Night Live? I'm like, yep, I sure did.

• 37:10Speaker 00

  I got a coordinator's appraisal.

• 37:11Speaker 02

  I gotta get through this stack of appraisals before I leave.

• 37:15Speaker 01

  We got a fan question from Natalie D.

• 37:17Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 37:18Speaker 01

  All right. Natalie wanted to know, how did you keep a straight face without laughing, especially in the scene with Ed Helms where you make him eat soap? And Jess Renee asked if you ever break in scenes.

• 37:31Speaker 02

  Well, that was going to be my answer to Natalie. I have a superpower of, I'm really good at not breaking.

• 37:37Speaker 00

  This is what we remember about you.

• 37:39Speaker 01

  Okay, this is what we remember about you. And also, my daughter loves bloopers. So we end up finding bloopers and we watch these bloopers of, um, Talladega Nights.

• 37:47Speaker 02

  Right.

• 37:47Speaker 01

  And everyone is losing it. And you are like a statue.

• 37:52Speaker 02

  Right. No, I never, it, it would only happen like twice a year.

• 37:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:58Speaker 02

  On like Saturday Night Live or something. And a lot of times though, there are times when I can tell I'm breaking, but no one else can tell.

• 38:05Speaker 01

  Right, right.

• 38:05Speaker 02

  So I hide it really well.

• 38:07Speaker 00

  I could tell, not that you were breaking, but that you were genuinely surprised when Ed put the soap in his mouth because that wasn't scripted.

• 38:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 38:15Speaker 00

  And it was real soap. And I think you just improvised for him to try the, the soap. And then when he did, you can see your face. You were like, hey.

• 38:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, it felt like you were doing just like a prank on him, like do this thing. Like there were all these scripted things, absurd things you were going to ask him to do. And you're like, how about eat the soap? And it felt like a personal challenge and Ed took you up on it.

• 38:39Speaker 02

  He did.

• 38:39Speaker 01

  And the look in your eyes is a little bit like, whoa, whoa. Okay.

• 38:44Speaker 02

  That's so funny. Yeah.

• 38:46Speaker 01

  One question before we take a break. Do you remember the stunt gone wrong in the warehouse? We were talking about when stunts can go wrong.

• 38:54Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 38:55Speaker 01

  We got to talk to Greg about it. We got to talk to Randy Cordray, who was our production manager at the time. They all just want to say sorry again.

• 39:04Speaker 00

  Mm hmm.

• 39:04Speaker 01

  For basically just.

• 39:07Speaker 00

  Catapulting you.

• 39:08Speaker 01

  Catapulting you into a basketball hoop.

• 39:11Speaker 02

  No, I don't remember it going.

• 39:13Speaker 00

  You're thinking of something else?

• 39:14Speaker 02

  Oh, no, I just thought you meant the.

• 39:17Speaker 01

  Like story wise.

• 39:18Speaker 02

  Story wise.

• 39:19Speaker 01

  You don't remember when we actually almost like.

• 39:22Speaker 02

  No.

• 39:23Speaker 01

  Gave you a real concussion?

• 39:24Speaker 00

  They had the pulley and they.

• 39:26Speaker 02

  Did it go?

• 39:28Speaker 01

  They are going to be so relieved that you don't remember this.

• 39:30Speaker 00

  Oh my gosh, they have carried this around for years.

• 39:33Speaker 02

  No, cause I was just watching it. Cause I remembered when, when I revisited the episode going, oh, that's right. We do the thing. I go for the basketball dunk and it's, falls on me, but it's all off camera, da, da, da. But no, I don't, oh, did something go awry?

• 39:49Speaker 00

  Well, yeah.

• 39:49Speaker 02

  I don't remember.

• 39:51Speaker 00

  What happened, Greg said, is they designed this pulley thing. And Greg said, just as he looked at it, he thought the physics were off on it.

• 39:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:58Speaker 00

  And they put you in it and the first take, they were, as you jumped, these guys were going to pull this thing.

• 40:03Speaker 02

  Like a one, two, three.

• 40:04Speaker 00

  And then you were going to go up a little bit. And the first time, they didn't quite get you there.

• 40:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:08Speaker 00

  And they were like, okay, we'll do it again. You guys, we got to pull harder. So the second time you went to do the jump and they yanked it and you went flying into the backboard.

• 40:18Speaker 01

  And I guess you got like a big cut on your knee.

• 40:21Speaker 02

  No.

• 40:22Speaker 01

  Yes. And we were all just like mortified. We were mortified.

• 40:27Speaker 02

  How do I not have a memory of this?

• 40:28Speaker 01

  I don't, you probably blocked it out because of the trauma. And then, and then they were like, you don't have to do it again. Don't even worry about it. And you're like, no, no, no, I got one more. Like, let's do one more. And then they got that one. That was it.

• 40:40Speaker 02

  The only thing I do remember about that sequence is editorially, I said, the funniest, strongest, kind of darkest thing is that DeAngelo's dead.

• 40:50Speaker 01

  I do remember you pitching that.

• 40:51Speaker 02

  That's the funniest thing. That's like the funniest way.

• 40:54Speaker 01

  We kill you.

• 40:55Speaker 02

  Yes. But then they're like, okay, just for safety, let's just shoot this thing. And I was like, oh, this is going in.

• 41:01Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 41:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 41:02Speaker 02

  Where I'm walking through the office with my head bandaged.

• 41:04Speaker 00

  Oh no, I know. I laughed through all your takes. You see me laughing. Fans just pointed it out. They're like, Angela, you're not even.

• 41:10Speaker 02

  I did see you on that one.

• 41:12Speaker 00

  You know why? Because, okay, here's the thing. First of all, whatever, you're the funniest person on the planet. There's that. But no, no.

• 41:18Speaker 02

  No.

• 41:18Speaker 00

  But then on top of it, you give someone who is so flipping funny, gibberish words, and then you never did them the same. So every time I would get used to you being like fair, nice, fair, then the next time I'd be like, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, I was like, I can't, I can't.

• 41:36Speaker 02

  But that was the only thing I do really remember. So that's crazy. I don't remember cutting my leg open, but I do remember going, ah.

• 41:44Speaker 01

  I wish they would have just killed me.

• 41:46Speaker 02

  They'd be so funny.

• 41:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 41:48Speaker 02

  Like whatever happened to DeAngelo?

• 41:50Speaker 00

  There, there was a, in the shooting draft, there was.

• 41:53Speaker 02

  I guess it was too.

• 41:54Speaker 00

  It was too dark.

• 41:55Speaker 02

  Too dark for the guys.

• 41:56Speaker 00

  Cause we have the shooting drafts. There was a scene where, um, the ambulance is taking you away.

• 42:01Speaker 02

  Right.

• 42:01Speaker 00

  And Daryl says to Andy, is, is he going to be okay? And Andy goes, I don't, they said no.

• 42:09Speaker 02

  That's what I'm saying.

• 42:10Speaker 01

  That's so funny.

• 42:10Speaker 02

  It's so funny.

• 42:11Speaker 01

  Yes. That would have been so good.

• 42:14Speaker 02

  They said no.

• 42:14Speaker 01

  No.

• 42:15Speaker 02

  Boy, how did I not remember getting slammed into the backboard?

• 42:19Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 42:20Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 42:21Speaker 01

  They are going to be so relieved. I mean, I'm going to call them this afternoon.

• 42:23Speaker 00

  I know.

• 42:24Speaker 01

  I feel like you should text Greg. Will has no memory.

• 42:27Speaker 02

  They're going to be like, what's his problem?

• 42:29Speaker 01

  We, we asked Greg about it.

• 42:30Speaker 02

  Did he not?

• 42:32Speaker 01

  We asked Greg about it and the first thing he said was, oh, I still think about that constantly.

• 42:37Speaker 02

  Really?

• 42:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 42:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 42:38Speaker 02

  Oh, please tell him, until this moment. And even now, I'm not picturing it happening.

• 42:44Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 42:45Speaker 00

  Oh, we, I'm texting Greg.

• 42:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 42:47Speaker 00

  Okay, well, let's take a break. And when we come back, we have a regular guy quiz for you.

• 42:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, we just ask you questions that a regular guy would answer.

• 42:56Speaker 00

  Okay. We'll see if you're a regular guy.

• 43:07Speaker 01

  All right, Will, we're back from our break. We're gonna give you the regular guy questions. These are real, like, hard-hitting stuff.

• 43:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, I know.

• 43:13Speaker 01

  If you're ready. This is the part where...

• 43:15Speaker 02

  It'll prove if I'm a regular guy.

• 43:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:17Speaker 02

  I can feel it.

• 43:19Speaker 01

  Okay, question number one.

• 43:20Speaker 02

  Everyone's really crowded around the windows of the studio.

• 43:23Speaker 00

  We've got a few succulents looking in.

• 43:25Speaker 01

  What do you eat for breakfast?

• 43:27Speaker 02

  I usually eat, um, I love this Ezekiel's brand cereal.

• 43:33Speaker 01

  Is it like a muesli sort of thing?

• 43:35Speaker 02

  It's kinda like a more of like a Grape-Nuts-y thing.

• 43:37Speaker 01

  Okay. Is that every morning? Are you the same breakfast every day?

• 43:41Speaker 02

  Some, not necessarily.

• 43:44Speaker 00

  Oh, you mix it up.

• 43:45Speaker 02

  I mix it up.

• 43:46Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 43:47Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 43:47Speaker 01

  Where's your protein in the morning?

• 43:49Speaker 02

  It's in the cereal.

• 43:50Speaker 01

  Okay, I'm just checking.

• 43:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:52Speaker 01

  All right.

• 43:52Speaker 00

  Number two, what is one of your favorite places you've visited in the United States?

• 43:58Speaker 02

  One of, well, uh, really?

• 44:02Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 44:04Speaker 02

  Um, I love New York City. Duh. Who doesn't?

• 44:11Speaker 00

  It's a great place. I love it.

• 44:12Speaker 02

  City that never stays.

• 44:13Speaker 00

  I wanna retire there.

• 44:14Speaker 02

  There, it's always surprising to me how you rediscover that city every time you visit.

• 44:21Speaker 00

  That is true.

• 44:22Speaker 01

  You're speaking to my soul.

• 44:23Speaker 02

  Right?

• 44:23Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 44:24Speaker 02

  There's just so many nooks and crannies in a new place here and this, and this museum and, and it blows my mind.

• 44:30Speaker 00

  I love it.

• 44:31Speaker 02

  It blows my, but I also just went to Portland. Portland, it's a little hidden gem, maybe not so hidden now, but Portland's great.

• 44:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 44:41Speaker 02

  Have you been?

• 44:41Speaker 00

  No, I love Portland. I love the Oregon coast.

• 44:44Speaker 02

  Great restaurants, little coffee places, like, cool bike paths and walking trails and...

• 44:51Speaker 00

  So green.

• 44:51Speaker 02

  A big enough of a city feel to it if you need that, but then really great neighborhoods.

• 44:56Speaker 01

  In general, are you more city or more like rural kind of, um, like, do you like a kinda like hiking, kind of outdoorsy thing? Or do you like city?

• 45:07Speaker 02

  Do any of it, cuz I can kind of adjust wherever I am, but my wife's definitely more city, and I love cities too, so I'll go city.

• 45:17Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 45:17Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 45:18Speaker 01

  Uh, what was the make and model of your first car?

• 45:21Speaker 02

  It was a 1969 powder blue VW Bug.

• 45:26Speaker 01

  Oh, do you wish you still had it? It's kind of amazing.

• 45:30Speaker 02

  I had a COVID midlife purchase where I bought a 61 VW bus with the 23 windows around the top.

• 45:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.

• 45:41Speaker 02

  Like, surf green, blue with white trim. It was like beautiful, but I just sold it again cuz it made me too nervous to drive it cuz it was in like mint condition.

• 45:51Speaker 00

  Right. It was too special.

• 45:52Speaker 02

  It was too special.

• 45:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 45:54Speaker 02

  But then I, I'd feel guilty about not driving it, and then I felt guilty about when I drove it cuz I didn't wanna get dinged and I just couldn't handle...

• 46:01Speaker 00

  It was a stressful purchase.

• 46:02Speaker 02

  Exactly. And I don't think I'll ever be like a car guy that way.

• 46:05Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. I get it.

• 46:07Speaker 02

  So, regular guy.

• 46:08Speaker 00

  Pretty regular.

• 46:09Speaker 01

  Regular guy.

• 46:09Speaker 00

  Um, okay, this one hits close to home with me. How many emails are your inbox? Do you keep a tidy box or do you let them pile up?

• 46:17Speaker 02

  Very tidy.

• 46:18Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 46:18Speaker 02

  Very tidy. I answer stuff. I clear the decks right away.

• 46:21Speaker 00

  How many do I have?

• 46:24Speaker 02

  Seventeen hundred.

• 46:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, how does that make you feel when you read that Angela has 1,700 emails? Does that?

• 46:29Speaker 02

  It would.

• 46:30Speaker 01

  I can't handle it. It bothers me.

• 46:32Speaker 02

  I can't handle it.

• 46:32Speaker 01

  I don't like it when she shows it to me. Gives me heart palpitations.

• 46:37Speaker 00

  Sorry. You got, uh, listen, I'm chipping away at it.

• 46:41Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 46:41Speaker 00

  Next one. If you are in charge of cooking dinner, what is your go-to dish?

• 46:46Speaker 02

  I can't even say.

• 46:47Speaker 00

  What?

• 46:49Speaker 01

  Do you not, you don't have a dish?

• 46:50Speaker 02

  I don't ever cook dinner.

• 46:51Speaker 01

  Who cooks?

• 46:53Speaker 02

  Viv does.

• 46:54Speaker 01

  Oh, well, that's good. You're lucky. You have a person who does the dinners.

• 46:57Speaker 00

  My husband always cooks.

• 46:58Speaker 02

  Really?

• 46:59Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't cook.

• 46:59Speaker 02

  I need to, I need to.

• 47:01Speaker 00

  I need to get a dish. We need a go-to dish.

• 47:04Speaker 01

  You should take a cooking class together. Get a go-to dish.

• 47:07Speaker 02

  Get a go-to called...

• 47:08Speaker 00

  Oh, my God.

• 47:09Speaker 02

  There should be a cooking school called Go-To Dish.

• 47:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 47:13Speaker 02

  Cuz you go to learn, but you also go to dish.

• 47:15Speaker 01

  Dish.

• 47:15Speaker 02

  Hey, hey, hey, did you hear about this?

• 47:17Speaker 00

  Yeah, I know.

• 47:17Speaker 02

  That's too much Parmesan.

• 47:18Speaker 01

  But I told her, no way.

• 47:19Speaker 02

  I got wrapped up in the dish. Now I have to focus back on this dish.

• 47:23Speaker 01

  That's actually pretty great.

• 47:24Speaker 02

  Go-to dish.

• 47:25Speaker 01

  What's your go-to board game? Do you have a family board game?

• 47:29Speaker 02

  The go-to game right now is celebrity.

• 47:34Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. Yeah, love it.

• 47:35Speaker 02

  So, the kids, we started doing it on ski trips and they, they go crazy. They love trying to trip us up with, you know, YouTubers and people like that.

• 47:47Speaker 01

  Oh, forget it.

• 47:48Speaker 02

  And we're trying to act out, yeah, pop culture people that we don't know anymore and it cracks them up. But then we get them back with...

• 47:56Speaker 01

  The oldies.

• 47:57Speaker 02

  Martin Van Buren.

• 48:00Speaker 00

  We were playing with my family and I was trying, I had Jennifer Aniston.

• 48:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:04Speaker 00

  And my sister Janet was like, I don't know who that is. I was like, yes, you do. Nope, don't know. I'm like, oh my God. Okay, how early do you get to the airport before a flight?

• 48:16Speaker 02

  I am, I'm like, I'm pretty much a rule follower. I, I, like, the two-hour thing. But here's my rule, though. If I'm late...

• 48:27Speaker 00

  What?

• 48:28Speaker 02

  I don't run. I don't, I don't run to catch that flight.

• 48:33Speaker 01

  What, so what happens? Do you walk slowly?

• 48:35Speaker 02

  I almost, to punish.

• 48:39Speaker 01

  What? What a great rule.

• 48:41Speaker 02

  I'm not the reason we're late. I'll just leave it at that.

• 48:44Speaker 00

  Oh, so I'm not gonna have to...

• 48:46Speaker 02

  But I'll slow walk it. Okay. If everyone wants to be this late, we're gonna miss our flight.

• 48:50Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. There's consequences.

• 48:52Speaker 02

  There's consequences.

• 48:53Speaker 01

  Right.

• 48:53Speaker 02

  Get your act together. Let's be ready.

• 48:56Speaker 01

  That'll teach them.

• 48:57Speaker 00

  Plan better.

• 48:58Speaker 02

  I don't know why I wanna punish, but I do.

• 49:03Speaker 01

  It's a teaching moment. All right, well, Cynthia R. asked, what was your favorite sitcom or cartoon as a kid?

• 49:12Speaker 02

  Uh, I had so many. I mean, I lived, I lived in the world of sitcoms, you know? I just like, oh, wouldn't it be great to be on the castle? Wouldn't it be great to live on the Love Boat?

• 49:24Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 49:25Speaker 02

  Right?

• 49:26Speaker 01

  Or Fantasy Island.

• 49:27Speaker 00

  Fantasy Island.

• 49:28Speaker 01

  Please.

• 49:28Speaker 02

  That ABC, they had a little run there between Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Tuesday nights. Forget about it.

• 49:37Speaker 00

  How cool to just be able to hit a jukebox and the music, like, what a fun character bit.

• 49:41Speaker 02

  How cool to have your office in the men's bathroom.

• 49:45Speaker 00

  Yeah. That's true. I forgot about that. All right, our last regular guy question for you, Will, is, do you have a hobby?

• 49:56Speaker 02

  I get asked this.

• 49:57Speaker 00

  Do you really?

• 49:58Speaker 02

  And I never have an answer. I don't collect stamps or baseball cards or anything like that. What is, if I did have a hobby?

• 50:07Speaker 00

  Big finish here. Big finish.

• 50:10Speaker 02

  I don't know if I, if I have a habitual thing.

• 50:13Speaker 00

  Right, yeah.

• 50:14Speaker 02

  That's...

• 50:15Speaker 00

  Mine is, I was thinking about this. I'm like, what's my hobby? Really? Like, I love to go for a walk every day and I love, um, I have a lot of hummingbird feeders.

• 50:25Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 50:25Speaker 00

  Because I live the sexy life.

• 50:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, no kidding. I do genuinely love driving my kids to school, but that's not a hobby.

• 50:33Speaker 00

  That's so cute.

• 50:35Speaker 02

  This is not a hobby cuz I don't do it consistently enough, but we have a chicken coop. So, we have chickens.

• 50:39Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 50:40Speaker 02

  And I love, it's, there's a real serenity to going out there and cleaning the chicken coop.

• 50:46Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 50:46Speaker 02

  Kinda talk to the chickens a little bit. There's a little compost section to it. I kinda make sure they're fresh, you know? But it's not like I do that every two days.

• 50:57Speaker 00

  Right. I'll take it. I accept it.

• 51:00Speaker 02

  Okay, that's my hobby.

• 51:01Speaker 01

  It doesn't have to be often. It's just a thing that brings you joy.

• 51:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 51:06Speaker 02

  Ter, sorry.

• 51:07Speaker 00

  What are you sorry for?

• 51:09Speaker 02

  This was, no one's, everyone's gonna remember how bad the podcast ended.

• 51:14Speaker 00

  Stop it. I have a good ending.

• 51:17Speaker 02

  There's gonna be, you're gonna get so many letters.

• 51:18Speaker 00

  No, no.

• 51:19Speaker 02

  Dud City.

• 51:20Speaker 00

  No.

• 51:20Speaker 02

  By the way, Feral, Dud City.

• 51:22Speaker 00

  Steve, Steve was like...

• 51:23Speaker 02

  Dud City, hashtag Dud City, USA.

• 51:25Speaker 01

  When we, when we did Steve's regular guy questions, all we did was make Steve feel like he was the most boring person on earth.

• 51:30Speaker 00

  He was like, oh, my God.

• 51:32Speaker 01

  Why did Nancy marry me? Like, I'm hearing myself back and I've never felt worse about myself. This is why we asked to take the picture at the top. Maybe we should leave people in a, in like a shame spiral.

• 51:47Speaker 02

  Prophetic.

• 51:48Speaker 00

  We might need to change the name from Regular Guy Quiz to just like Wanna Feel Shitty?

• 51:55Speaker 02

  I want to really feel now I gotta get a hobby.

• 52:00Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 52:01Speaker 02

  So I can literally answer this question.

• 52:04Speaker 00

  This question.

• 52:05Speaker 01

  We want to thank you so much for coming today, Will. And I wanted to end with this, such this sweet note from a fan, from Maxie B. Maxie said this, "My mom and I adore watching Will Ferrell movies together and cracking up. My mom just turned 70 in January and we began talking about the thing that all kids dread talking about with their parents, the funeral arrangements. She wants cremation and a big party to celebrate her life, which I love, but she had the cutest request that she knows won't be able to happen. She asked me to please hire Will Ferrell to sing her favorite song, 'Dust in the Wind', at her party.

• 52:41Speaker 00

  Oh, my God.

• 52:41Speaker 01

  I just think that is the sweetest thing and I would love for Will to know how much he means to us and our family. He has kept us going through hard times. All my love, Maxie B."

• 52:51Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 52:52Speaker 01

  That is, isn't that so sweet?

• 52:53Speaker 02

  So great.

• 52:54Speaker 01

  I just think that's like, you bring so much comfort to people with what you do, with your comedy and just with who you are. You brought so much comfort to us on The Office when you came in during that transition time.

• 53:07Speaker 02

  Right.

• 53:08Speaker 01

  So, I mean, that's why we do it. That's why, I mean, that's what being an artist is.

• 53:12Speaker 02

  That's, couldn't be nicer.

• 53:14Speaker 00

  Nicer, and what a fun sense of humor her mom has.

• 53:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, no kidding.

• 53:17Speaker 00

  She wants to be cremated and wants you to sing "Dust in the Wind." I love this woman, right?

• 53:22Speaker 02

  I know.

• 53:23Speaker 00

  I know.

• 53:24Speaker 02

  I'm speechless.

• 53:25Speaker 00

  We adore you, we really do. I'm just always so happy when I see you and when we run into you, you're just one of the good guys.

• 53:32Speaker 02

  Oh, thanks.

• 53:32Speaker 00

  You're one of the good ones.

• 53:33Speaker 02

  Thanks, you guys.

• 53:34Speaker 00

  Thank you.

• 53:35Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 53:36Speaker 00

  Thank you.

• 53:36Speaker 02

  I'm gonna, just gonna drive in my car now.

• 53:42Speaker 00

  Yeah, you know what?

• 53:43Speaker 02

  And just let all of this praise wash over me.

• 53:46Speaker 01

  Own it.

• 53:47Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 53:49Speaker 01

  That was so much fun.

• 53:51Speaker 00

  So fun. Okay, before we leave for our two-week break. You guys, you know how much I love birthdays. You know how much I love celebrating them. Well, we have had a wonky few weeks with scheduling. We've had a lot going on and we were not able to celebrate Jenna's birthday when it was her birthday week, but you know what? It is never too late for birthday week.

• 54:12Speaker 01

  I am, honestly, I am surprised. This is so nice. Angela, you know, I spent my birthday by myself in New York City because I was shooting Mean Girls.

• 54:22Speaker 00

  I know.

• 54:23Speaker 01

  And it was a little tough, I'll say. My family was wonderfully hid birthday presents in my suitcase for me to open and we celebrated a little before I left, a little bit after I got home, but...

• 54:36Speaker 00

  We have not been able to celebrate here on the pod. So ladies, sit back. I got some stuff coming your way.

• 54:42Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh.

• 54:43Speaker 00

  Cody and Sam, I'm opening up the shower screen door thing. Cassie, I'm sad you're not here today, but we'll save some for you.

• 54:52Speaker 01

  Okay, I have this all hidden in the corner of the room. I had no idea this was here.

• 54:57Speaker 00

  Okay, so first of all, this is a gift that the minute you open it, it's something you said you wanted, okay?

• 55:03Speaker 01

  Okay, something I said I wanted.

• 55:09Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh! I really did want this. This is the lighted magnification mirror so I can tweeze my eyebrows.

• 55:20Speaker 00

  And it magnifies three times the magnitude of whatever, my 49-year-old eyes. Thank you so much.

• 55:28Speaker 01

  Wait, I have to take your picture with it.

• 55:30Speaker 00

  Okay, and next lady, I went to one of my favorite bakeries and I got you gluten-free brownies with sprinkles. Ooh, gluten-free dessert.

• 55:40Speaker 01

  Oh, I love it.

• 55:42Speaker 00

  Okay, I hope they didn't get tossed around in the car.

• 55:46Speaker 01

  Oh, they're perfect.

• 55:48Speaker 00

  Thank you, lady. Birthday. Thank you.
