Quincecom slash officeladies Hi.
Hello!
Sam, Cassie.
Hi, hello.
Did you forget how to do this?
Yeah.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
Hi, happy Friday chit chat, everybody.
I miss you guys.
Sam, I am so here for your handlebar mustache.
I think it's so hot.
Really?
I'm not a fan of it.
I've just been.
I've been rocking it the last couple days.
Did you lose a bet?
Why are you if you don't like it?
I was shaving.
All guys when they shave they start with the beard.
Then we do weird mustaches and take photos and then shave it off.
That's the process of shaving your beard off, and when i got to this stage i had to go get something from the mail and never picked up shaving again.
So I'm like 80 done with shaving.
Yeah, I've looked like this for the last couple of days.
Women are crossing the street when I walk up to them.
Not this lady.
Really?
Not this lady.
Okay.
I'm saying God bless the male is what I'm saying.
Oh my gosh, we have so much to catch up on.
How is everyone?
Oh, good.
Good, good, good.
How are you?
I'm great.
Wait, Sam, were you in Hawaii?
I was.
I was just in Waikiki for two full weeks.
Wow.
I was like, I'd never been before.
Everything looks like, you know how when?
Everything looked painted on, like all the sunsets, all the ocean water.
Everything looks fake, but it's all real.
It was gorgeous.
The water was gorgeous.
Beautiful.
Yeah, it was really nice.
The people were so sweet.
It was great.
I love it.
I always think pineapple tastes better in Hawaii.
It's like so sweet.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I think it's because you're a little dehydrated.
No, no.
And Jenna, how's Chicago?
Oh, I just saw you.
You were just here.
I know.
I know.
But we got to see each other in a very sort of truncated little window of time.
But you're living in Chicago.
I mean, I left you a message.
I was like, I love it there.
I love it.
Top new favorite city?
Yeah, I think it's a good thing I didn't move to Chicago when I left St.
Louis, because I'm not sure I would have ever made it all the way to L.A.
I think I would have stopped here.
I am in love.
And did you ever do Chicago's Second City?
Was that part of your comedy journey?
No, no, no.
The improv group that I started with, IO West, they're originally from Chicago, ImprovOlympic.
Yeah.
No, but same, Jenna.
I think if my first pit stop had been Chicago, I'd still be there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
I just swam in Lake Michigan this morning with my.
You did not.
Yes, I did.
That has to be like a cold plunge.
It's not that cold.
It's wonderful.
Really?
Yeah.
But you can handle the cold, lady.
You're you can handle the cold.
I'd probably stick my big toe in there and be like, I'm out.
I'm telling you, it's not that cold.
The end of the summer.
It's so refreshing.
It was what maybe 75 degrees out, but the sun was warm and the water was warm and I could walk right up to Lakeshore Drive and go out on the beach.
And it was just great.
The play, which I'm doing at the Goodman Theater.
Ashland Avenue is fantastic.
Thank you, lady.
So good.
We just opened.
Oh my gosh.
I just wasn't prepared for how much I was going to, how emotional I was going to get on so many different like layers, because I was so proud of you Jenna, and you are so good.
And I got to see my friend have this moment that I know she just where she's her full self.
And then the performances are so great that, like I was just, I was crying and then I was laughing, all the things.
Well, lady, thank you for saying that, because I do feel like I'm getting to express my full self.
And I will tell you, I am definitely 100 percent at home in the theater with my theater nerd.
People like these are my people, just a hundred percent.
And lady, i've talked to you about the crew on this.
I love them like i love our office crew.
Nikki, our stage manager oh my god, stop it.
She's so good, all the things a stage manager has to do.
She's like the kelly cantley of ashland avenue.
She's like our first ad.
She does all the scheduling But she also makes all the little announcements on the microphone that I hear back in my dressing room.
So she'll be like fight call actors who need to do fight call.
Please come to the stage now for fight call.
But then it's like the sweetest little voice.
But then my favorite is Like at the end of a show she'll be like all right everybody, that's another performance.
We have finished.
Wonderful cast of Ashland Avenue.
I'm going to see you back tomorrow at 130.
130 is your half hour call.
115 if you're coming for fight call.
It's like I need to record it.
It's the cutest thing.
I just love her.
But I mean, I love everybody.
Andrea is the gal who sits outside my dressing room at a little table.
And she is my, I guess, dresser, my wardrobe person.
She dresses me and Fran, who is the, The guy who plays my dad in the play.
Our dressing rooms are side by side and she sits outside with like the rack of clothes.
And it's her job before I go on stage every time to check and make sure I have the right stuff on.
And you would think like, oh, you'll have the right stuff on.
I cannot tell you how many times like I'll go back after a scene and I'll sit down.
I'll like reapply my lipstick.
I'll like look at my lines, make sure I know what I'm doing and I'll walk out.
I'll have the complete wrong shoes on.
Or I'll like have forgotten to change my sweater.
And Andrea will be like, sweater, sweater.
But I mean, I just that's what I mean.
I like just love all of them.
And I love her.
And I just everybody, Lauren, Gabe.
I mean, I could just name so many people who just are so meaningful behind the scenes.
And I am.
I'm just living out my dream, lady.
And what I was saying about the Goodman is that I'm staying about a 30 minute walk from the theater.
So I can even walk there if I want.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
And I get to walk past the river and it's a beautiful walk.
I mean, it's just the city is incredible.
Nice.
And I'm so proud of Lee.
His play is so good.
Yeah.
It's really getting a chance to shine.
It's been great.
This question is on behalf of the Office Ladies fan Facebook club.
Jenna, do you come out afterwards and take pictures and sign stuff?
I have.
I have come out every night except opening.
They had a special event that we attended as a cast, so I wasn't able to come out on opening night.
But thank you for bringing that up Sam, because I do want to give a shout out to the Office.
Ladies community.
Every night during previews there was some group of people from Office Ladies that came out to support the show.
And if theater nerds are not my people, then my people are Office Ladies people.
These are my two people, because every group of women that I met and husbands oh my gosh, I have so many stories.
One gal flew in all the way from Brazil by herself to see Ashland Avenue.
Yes.
And then another woman, she grabbed me and she said, Will you please take a picture with my husband?
Because he loves you.
He loves you.
You're the love of his life.
And I was like, sure, I'll take a picture with your husband.
And she said, he listens to Office Ladies.
He told me about this play.
He told me Angela has a cookbook coming out.
He knows all y'all's business.
He loves you.
He talks about you guys all the time.
You're like, like you're his friends in our house.
And he tells me your stories.
Oh, so cute.
But yeah, it's it's been great.
So when they you know, when I'm allowed to come out, then then I do come out and say hi to people.
Of course.
I mean, it's just amazing.
I went on and on, you guys.
Thank you.
No, no.
This is Friday Chit Chat.
Yeah.
Angela, you have been to Iceland.
And you have specifically now, you have not shared with me about the penis museum.
You said I had to wait until this Friday chit chat.
So I saved it.
I saved it.
I say, I, hell yeah.
I went, you had to, oh, by the way, it's right in the middle of like little downtown Reykjavik.
You can't miss it.
Like it's right there.
Yes.
I went to the penis museum.
Okay.
For those of you that didn't hear us break down the episode the sting remember, when Dwight is trying to intimidate Danny Cordray and he like, walks into the lobby and he's like she says that's the biggest penis I've ever seen.
And I said I know that's why I brought you to the penis museum, where tickets are a thousand dollars.
That whole bit, we were like, is that real?
Yeah.
Didn't a fan write in and say that it was a real place?
Yes, it is a real place.
It's in Reykjavik, Iceland.
And I went, I should say that the penises are animals.
They're animal penises.
Okay.
It's not like It's not human penis.
But anyway, I went.
I mean, we've always said if we ever got to Iceland, we'd have to go.
Yeah, you had to go.
I had to go.
And so I did.
Josh was like our first day there.
You know, we're a little tired, little jet laggy.
First of all, do you know people in Iceland love to go get ice cream or gelato?
It's like a big deal.
Like they have their own word.
It's a very long word.
I'm not going to attempt to say it, but it literally means let's all go get ice cream.
And it doesn't matter if it's like freezing out and it doesn't matter.
You're going to get ice cream anyway.
So We, of course, got recommended a great gelato place and we're going there.
And I said to Josh, I'm like, oh man, I wish I should have looked up where the penis museum was.
We could have gone by it when we were out to get gelato.
And he goes, Ange, he said, Ange, we've walked past it three times.
I was like, what?
He goes, he clocked it.
He said, Ange, you didn't see the penis shape rock on the sidewalk?
And there is a big rock with two little balls of rocks next to it.
And I'm like, wow.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
And then you go in and you go downstairs and you're in the penis museum.
So, first of all, we have huge office fans in Iceland.
And in particular, they work at the penis museum.
Really?
I took photos.
They were so tickled I was there.
And, yeah, it's very interesting, you guys.
It's a lot of...
Penises.
Penises and glass.
Yeah.
And of course, I had to bring you all a gift from Iceland from the Penis Museum.
Oh, my God.
You know, it is the Icelandic Pathological Museum.
I should say it correctly.
Sam, I'm going to go with your gift first.
I really agonized over this because there were some really great T-shirts.
OK.
Really great.
And I'll take pictures and put it in stories.
Just read.
Read, Sam, what the bottom says.
It's all about dicks.
I'm going to pop the sleeves off that right away.
I know it's perfect.
Thank you.
So there you go.
Jenna, I got us each one and we can take them in our office.
We got a penis coffee mug.
No.
Oh, my gosh.
It really is a mug with a penis on it.
Yeah, it is.
Wow.
Also, Cassie, same slogan for you in a tote bag.
Great.
Great.
I love a tote.
I can't wait for you to carry this around L.A.
It's all about dicks.
Yeah.
But it was very interesting.
It was.
I took a picture next to the sperm whale penis.
That is...
That is a sight to behold.
But yeah, Iceland was so lovely.
Everyone there is so kind and nice.
And you just get out in nature and people are really earnest.
You know, I loved everyone there.
I made a really good friend, Joey.
Shout out to Joey.
He's the best.
And I can't wait to go back.
Yeah, I can't say enough things about it.
It's gorgeous.
It's beautiful.
And I really think we need to have an office ladies road trip to Reykjavik.
Everyone there like loves the office.
We should go hang out.
I love that idea.
I mean, after your trip, you told me you wanted to move there.
Now, to be fair, I know this is something I do.
Josh says it's something I do wherever we go.
We're on a road trip.
I start to like look up houses there.
Like, could we live here?
And I keep thinking I can live in a lot of places, but Iceland is one of them.
OK, but Angela, you also had an insane tennis adventure trip that you got to tell them about.
I know.
So I shared this with Cassie, but I haven't shared it with Sam and Jenna.
So, you know, Cassie and I both are, you know, we have our passion.
Mine for tennis, Cassie's is for basketball.
And I was like, Cassie, I got to do basically the Super Bowl. in my life for tennis.
And I was invited to play you guys at the Tennis Hall of Fame, the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
It's the oldest courts in the United States.
They're grass courts.
Who did you play against?
Oh, Sam.
Sam.
It was, first of all, Maria Sharapova's induction ceremony and the Bryan Brothers.
Jeez.
And so I played with Arantxa Sanchez Vacario, who is amazing.
I met Kim Kleisters.
Okay.
You name it, I met them.
I also played with the Bryan Brothers.
And... And...
OK, I have to tell one story.
If you can tell how deer in headlights I was.
Oh, and by the way, Chris Everett and Tracy Austin watched my match.
I was so embarrassed.
Like, whatever.
If I didn't get a good shot, I was like, oh, they were right there.
And I was there for the beginning.
And how did you play?
And did you play well?
I mean, decent.
Yeah, I had some winners.
I had I had a clunky backhand, but I had some winners.
You know what?
And we were miked and I was so worried about cursing.
And I did say shit.
But I think all in all, that was OK if you're going to say one.
Yeah.
But I mean, let me tell you, the Bryan brothers don't hold back.
And they whizzed a few at me and I was like, oh, shit.
But I have to tell the story.
It's the very beginning of the match.
And Maria Sharapova is standing right next to me with Kim Kleisters and Andy Roddick.
And they're like, Angela, you're going to do the coin toss.
But it went in my brain like this.
You're going to do the coin toss.
I was like, what?
And they hand me this coin.
And I turned to Maria Sharapova and I go, you do it.
And she's like, what?
And Kim's like, Kim's like, Angela, you're the coin.
And I was like, I don't know.
And then.
So I was just like so and so then we kind of clunky, hand off the coin and she flips it anyway.
But I just can't believe I turned to Maria Sharapova and I'm like, you do it.
You tried to pawn your special gift off on someone else.
I just couldn't believe.
I was standing in front of them and I just completely computer shut down.
What kind of coin was it?
Was it just a quarter?
Was it a silver dollar?
Was it a special tennis coin?
What was it?
I always wonder what coins they use in these coin tosses.
Lady, if I was in my body at all, I could tell you.
Well, when you go back in your mind, did it was it was bigger than a quarter.
It was a larger than a quarter coin.
Yes.
I thought it was a special tennis.
I don't.
No, I'll have to.
Oh, by the way, I now text with Kim Kleister.
OK, her daughter is a big office fan.
And so I'm just going to name drop that.
I will text Kim and ask.
Can you remember the coin that I didn't toss?
What was it?
I might have a big name drop brag, too.
What?
Well, you were there on opening night of Ashland Avenue and you saw that I had a few special guests.
My parents were there.
My kids were there.
Lee's brother and sister were there.
And then my manager, Naomi, and Bob Odenkirk were there.
And I'm so sorry.
Hold on.
It's a big moment because this story has a great ending.
Mr. Eddie Vedder was there.
No.
So it is a very long story how I know Eddie Vedder and then also how we became reacquainted.
I will tell that another time, but I have to tell this story, which is that today he sent me a text.
He's so incredibly supportive and sweet, especially like as an artistic mentor.
And He was so taken with the play and has said so many nice things.
And he just texted me today that he has something that he would like us to add to the set that he believes should live in the TV shop.
That is our set.
And I don't know what it is, but he's like, I need your address immediately so I can send it to you.
And if you could maybe...
Maybe you would want to add it to the set.
Is that the coolest thing that there might be?
Like some extra little wrap up on the set?
What's it going to be?
You have to tell us.
We'll need an update.
I know.
I don't know.
He hasn't told me.
What is the set?
What time period?
Does it take place?
Does it change?
No, it's one set and it's a TV store, but it's this TV store that has been there for 40 years.
So it's this beautiful set, and it has been.
You can see that there's like televisions from every era.
So it's sort of half museum, half television store.
It has modern televisions for sale and, you know, things like that, television parts.
But there's this wall of just like every old TV you could imagine through the ages.
It 100% feels like a store you would walk in.
Like, you know, it reminded me of like, where we went to get my grandparents' TV, you know?
Yeah.
It's so cool.
The set is so cool.
I did round the corner.
I rounded the corner and I saw Eddie Vedder gushing to Lee about how much the play meant to him and how layered it was for him.
And I was like, wow, that's got to be, that's got to be, feel pretty amazing.
Maybe he has like a little tiny TV.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Vintage TV.
I'm not sure.
There's a lot of sports references in the play as well.
And oh, by the way, Kevin Deponet is who did the set design.
I had to like shout him out.
But yeah.
So I don't know if it's a sportsy thing or a TV thing or a Chicago thing.
Maybe a Chicago thing.
He's got a rich Chicago history.
So.
Yeah.
I can't wait to see what it is.
Well Cassie, I have to ask you about your trip, because I sent you a very long email with all of my tips for Vancouver.
But you guys were actually, you were going, you went to Vancouver, but then from there didn't you go to Victoria Island.
Yes, went to Victoria and we went to Seattle, and I feel like this episode is a theme of like travel, travel and name dropping.
So I just want to say when I was in Seattle, I was like, of course I'm going to go to a WNBA game.
So we got tickets for the storm and then realized that that game was going to be the unveiling of Sue Bird's statue.
Oh, really?
So we looked it up and they're like yeah, get there at 10 am.
And we get there and all these WNBA stars and stuff are there, and of course Sue and her wife Meg are there and the mayor of Seattle's there, and they're like we deemed this day, Sue Bird Day.
And it was just like celebrating a woman.
And it was the first WNBA statue ever to be unveiled, which is wild to me.
Wow.
And did you meet?
Were you able to like meet anyone or take a picture?
No.
But it was just like, cool to be there in that moment.
It was just by happenstance.
And like it was like one of the best school days because like even the Space Needle had like a little Sue Bird flag hanging in the morning and it was just like really cool and empowering.
And I was just like, I'm really glad to be here in this moment.
And how special too.
I feel like those moments are so special on their own.
But then, to sort of like, find it on the fly and all of a sudden it's such a memorable moment of your trip.
It was really, really cool.
That's really cool.
Yeah.
And then I took pictures with the statue.
Maybe one day I'll actually get to meet Sue Bird, but yeah.
That's really cool.
This was so fun.
I've missed you guys.
I like that our theme is travel and name dropping.
I like that you named it, Cassie.
That's pretty good.
Sam, do you have any other travel or name dropping to do before we go?
No, I don't.
I haven't met anyone famous lately.
I think it's the mustache.
No, it is not.
It is giving me major like Pedro Pascal.
Like I'm here for it.
All right.
I'm just saying.
Okay.
I would keep it a little bit longer.
I'll write it out as long as I can.
Okay.
Well, guys, this was awesome.
I'm glad we were able to do this.
Oh, wait, Jenna.
What?
Your play was extended, right?
Yes.
My play has been extended through October 12th.
Okay.
That's so exciting.
Yeah.
Well, you guys are all going to have to give me stuff for our office, ladies and stories because Sam, I think we need a picture.
I will.
Yeah, I will.
And I need one from Hawaii.
I need Sue Bird.
Yeah.
I need Chicago.
You know, I need you next to the penis rock outside.
I'm curious if it's taller than you are.
It isn't, Sam.
It isn't taller than me, but the sperm whale penis.
Really?
The rock isn't, but the sperm whale penis was.
Okay.
Good, good, good.
There you go.
And thank you to everybody in the Office Ladies community for all of your support while I've been here doing the play.
Thank you for coming out for it.
But also like thank you guys for helping create this time for me.
I mean I'm going to get weepy if I talk about it too much, but I haven't been to a doctor's appointment in six weeks.
And that is really cool.
And it feels good.
And I am just all about being an actress and a mom right now.
And it feels so good.
And and I just I thank you.
Thank you.
This has been like the end all be all greatest experience.
I can't I can't even believe it.
It's been the office of getting to do a play.
We're so thrilled for you and we're so happy to help make the space.
I think office ladies, we go pee when we want to pee.
We always have cake on our birthday and we get as many pockets as we want.
We have as many pockets as we want and we get to make space for each other to pursue our passions.
And this community has been so wonderful and supportive.
So I'm happy for you, lady.
Thank you.
Thanks, guys.
I love you all so much.
I love you.
Bye.
