It's crazy how emotional I get just listening to your stories of grief; it's not even my grief...yet, when you (anyone, really) talk about your memories of your loved ones, I feel it too, and tears fill my eyes as if it were my own memories.
Whaattt?? Angela used to live in Indonesia for 12 YEARS??!! And she speak Indonesian very well??!! Dang it, Angela! I'm from Indonesia and I'm so happy to know that!😍😍😍
The Office is my comfort zone when anything in my life is hard or I am mentally drained. I can always count on this show to bring me back to feeling better and feeling comfort . It’s like a warm hug that you need when you are feeling down or just want one . Love this show ❤
“Life goes on, and you take the letters off…” - Angela Kinsey I just wrote this quote on a posted note and set if on my book shelf. It’s so deep, and simple and beautiful. …that’s what she said.
I am five years younger than Angela, but I too lived in Jakarta and went to JIS. My dad was a petroleum engineer. I think I may have been at JIS at the same time as Angela. Who knows maybe our father's worked together. Such a small world!
The Office has definitely helped me through lonely nights and bouts of depression and anxiety. Especially with the way things are right now. Dwight and Angela were my favorite characters, and I thank you both for bringing them to life. Rainn, you have such a good and charitable heart, you're a light in these dark times.
I used to keep The Office playing on my laptop morning, noon and night for about 5 years. I used to sleep with it on. Something about it just soothed me to my soul. I loved watching this podcast today. It feels like I just visited with family.
Our all time favorite tv series! I’m from the Philippines and my grown up kid and daughter in law, we always bond watching The Office. Even when I’m watching this alone, I always text my kids and say, it was hilarious that Dwight says he could make his blood pressure go up and down! Or when they did parkour, when Jim would prank you with your office stuff 😂 or when Michael was showing off his plasma tv! Thank you, thank you! Love you guys!
Angela Kinsey and Rainne Wilson are two of those people I just love and enjoy listening to anytime, for pretty much any reason at all...even grief. Office Family Forever is a real vibe
@@whispering8833 I'm not against normal cast reunions for interviews and stuff. I just don't like the idea of bringing shows back unless it's an exceptional case like Chuck or Mindhunter. And yes, the Friends reunion was awful. The cast probably thought they could do a mega reunion in their 60s but Matthew Perry's death showed that they should have done it much earlier
Guys the office helped me get through the first few months of my mom's death, she died on august 1st of this year 2024 and i started watching the office on august 5th as a way to escape my dark nights. i finished the series two days ago and i've to say that i cried as if i was also part of the production, but i simply cried because with this series the hardest days i've ever spent in my life were gone. it is impossible to imagine that you can laugh in those days, but all of you made it possible. thank you from the bottom of my heart from a Venezuelan girl living in Poland. Thank you Rainn (very good podcast), Thank you Dwight (my favorite character). Thank you to all the cast. 💚💚💚
Rainn, Angela, hearing you guys discuss mental health is so, SO beneficial. Thank you Angela, for opening up about your nephew and the struggles of your family ❤ The two of you made such a great podcast 🫶
Her: “That was beautiful!❤” Him: “THAT’S WHY I HAVE A PODCAST AND YOU DON’T.”😑 Me: “AYYYYYY!!❤❤😊😊😊 There’s the Dwight Schrute we know and absolutely love!🥰”
My husband and I have just discovered The Office 😳 twenty years later! Our adult kids introduced us to the series! We were asking each other why we didn’t know about it? 20 years ago we were tired, working full time, and raising 10 and 14 year olds. Better late than never! 📺
Feeling pretty down today. Missing my dad who tragically passed in a car accident in 2012 he was my best friend. Anyway I found this on Facebook today. I picked this one to watch. I just feel like my dad was like watch this... Grief sucks. Thanks for sharing ❤ my small family are big office fans. Love you guys
I loved listening to this conversation. Celebrities seem larger than life until a video like this one reminds us that they are regular people, just like us and with the same feelings, fears, and joys. Thanks for allowing us to eavesdrop!
I've watched the series twice. That's street cred..... I wanna give yall a virtual hug. What was produced and given to us will never be duplicated, for better or worse. Something special
Lost my dad in 2002, i was 14, he was 47. Grief is still a part of everyday life for me, miss him very much. I have my own family now a perfect wife and two beautiful girls. I wish he could meet his granddaughters but i hope somewhere somehow he can see us.
I’m a lonesome person. Mostly by choice. These videos make me feel good. The warmth on display is beautiful. Deep conversations but with humour and warmth. Best videos online!
Rainn is kinda real life impish and admirable. How can we speak about grief and not mention Sprinkles? This show is great. Thank you for your authenticity ❤
I lost my dad in 2017 and I feel his loss every day too. Some days it’s more than others. I saved a voicemail from my last birthday before he passed and I cherish hearing that message every year on my birthday. I appreciate you talking about your losses as it normalizes the conversation about grief. From one Louisiana/Texas gal to another, thank you, Angela for sharing so vulnerably.
You're both just incredibly beautiful people. Angela, I'm sorry to hear about your nephew. I am one of the fans of The Office that has found comfort in watching the series (I've lost count how many times). I have depression and anxiety, which has often been soothed by watching the show. Thank you Angela, for wording it that way "we lost him to depression". I think when people say it the other ways that they do, to me it points the finger at that person, blaming them as though it's their decision and fault.
This was so wholesome...i loved the Dwight and Angela bit so much..how happy they were talking about it. This was an hour of joy for my heart ❤ thank you Rainn for filming this
Prayer mid pod was so awesome! I love Rainn being unashamed of putting faith in the forefront! Also great point about only saying grace at dinner, what an awesome way to bring gratefulness into the everyday. And not only did he make the point he immediately did something about and made it actionable!
I really appreciate the conversation about grief. Especially when you are grieving a parent. I lost my mom last February and had lived with her the last 8 years of her life after developing dementia. That is a special type of grief- grieving someone so important to you who is still physically with you. 💜
I lost my grandfather less then a year ago who was pretty much my dad and when you brought up your dads it really hit home for me and it makes me feel better hearing your stories! I love how you structure your podcast it gives you a chance to see the real side of your favorite actors thank you for sharing and keep them coming!!!
My family was one that was brought together by The Office! Thank you! We quote lines in our everyday lives and we laugh together! It’s one way I was able to connect to my teens. ❤❤❤❤❤
this makes my heart so happy, i didn't know this podcast was a thing, so thrilled to start diving into these and so grateful my intro to it was you two together again. two beautiful humans, inside and out. thank you, rainn and angela
This is so good and you speak the truth! I live alone and one time I decided to count how many it days since I was touched - just a handshake or pat on the back. It was over 40 days. It was so many days it felt numbing. We are losing human connections. Love you guys.
This conversation! I found such comfort in it. Two favorite actors, who have become two favorite people I don’t know personally, coming together in deep friendship to laugh a bit, cry a bit, reflect a bit. I was moved, shed a few tears, and felt my heart warmed and lightened. Thank you so much, Rainn and Angela. 💖😌
The office has helped me in many situations, as others have said. I remember a few months back I was struggling with personal stuff and I started having a panic attack, my first reaction was to turn on the office and it was somewhere in season 6 where I left it a few days prior. I just slowly sobbed while watching 4 episodes in a row and let myself sink in my chair and just exist with the characters. By the end I was smiling and calm. Makes me tear up just thinking about it
Her words, grief of losing her father , 9 years ago for me as well.... man , that gave me chills cause that's exactly how it truly feels ..... a smell, a sound , music... everything triggers that devastation. And the attachment of things you wouldn't consider until it happens ........ man. 😢 Thanks for making me sob Angela, I sincerely know THAT pain, deeply ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I still love hearing you folks talk. I heard this episode before, but I enjoy hearing it again. I remember how the Dwight character reminded me of some (A-holes) I worked with, in my youth. I never worked in an office,....well I did for one summer, when I was 19. But I worked in retail, for more than 25 years. With a crew of 5 people, at the same store. There was always a Dwight character. Employees came and went,.....however there was a core group of "lifers",....we stayed with the company for the entire 25-plus years. Towards the end of my employment, I would come back, to fill in, for people who took their vacations. The best part of the job, was that our boss was almost never around. He called in, in the morning to go over our day's goals. He sometimes came in, after we were closed for the evening, to do the bookkeeping. After 25 years, we knew how to run his shop, we knew his rules and how he wanted things done. Most of our customers, thought "we" owned the store.
Thank you for being vulnerable and honest. How interesting it is to get a glimpse of the actual human beings behind the characters! Sending love from Sweden ❤
Recently I’ve been ill and going through changes mentally, whenever this happens the office is on 24/7. I’ve listened to two soul boom podcasts while the office is on in the background. Im from the UK, the US office bears uk office hands down.
I lost my father in 2020, I was in an awful car accident along with him. The pain never leaves and the moment the grief pops up, you can be anywhere and around anyone. I wish I had his voice recorded somewhere still, it lives on only in my head. I miss him dearly every day. Thank you all for sharing your stories, been a fan a long time now.
1. Angela what are you talking about? You look amazing! 2. Grief is long, I miss my aunt everyday and I wear the crewneck she gave me every single day. 3. I think Dwight & Angela have 8 kids at this point, but I like everything y'all said about how they're living happily.
Would really like to see longer episodes. also just wanted to say we love to hear the tangents. I really enjoy when a podcast feels like a conversation and the host isn't worried about the audience retention with redirects etc. :) Love you both. Cheers.
I've only seen a few episodes of the office but watching this makes me want to go re watch. Thank you for talking about mental health and spirituality openly
It was so amazing to see you take a moment to pray together. The power of prayer can heal, strengthen and overcome anything life throws at us. Love the podcast and I can sum it up with 3 things, bears, beets, Battlestar Galactictica!!
Thank you so much for making this episode. Harlan Ellison once wrote that getting old means watching everyone around you die, and realizing that it could be your turn next (I'm paraphrasing). I never felt that line hit so hard until this year, where everyone around me has been dying and the grief has been so hard to deal with. Hearing you guys talk about this stuff is truly a huge help at this junction in my life, so again: thank you so much :)
Another fantastic episode! I love that the topics of this podcast are so close to everyone, real talk about day-to-day stuff that everyone goes through! Thank you Angela and Rainn! Much love from Barcelona!!!
Thank you for mentioning grappling with the grief of losing your dads. I lost my mom last year and the grief is still gutting, dark and often unbearabke. Only those who went through that kind of loss get the constant ache. I wished i could talk about it to family but they quickly change the subject to prevent my suffering more, which actually just makes it worse. So thanks for validating the degree of grief. ❤
I just rewatched all of The Office. I have been going through some dark times, but something about The Office makes me feel that everything is going to be okay.
You guys made me tear up! The Office definitely has help a lot of people, even myself during hard times. Mental health is rough and real. Hope everyone who needs help can reach out and get the help needed.
The amount of times I’ve re-watched the office is sickening! 😂 it stays on repeat. You guys have truly got me through the darkest times in my life. This is truly my comfort show❤️
What a great podcast and at a great time too. My grandfather passed away two months ago and he was really my father he would always call me his son. So it is really nice to hear about Rain and Angela’s experiences with there fathers passing away. Thank you.
I just discovered this podcast and I love this so much! I didn’t know this podcast is what I was missing in my life. Thank you so much for the love and the laughs and the getting real with emotions. Thank you so much ❤
It took me a long time to get over my mother's passing. I spent a year in grief. She was my anchor and support. I learned a lot in that. I learned that you should not ask someone, "Hey, how's things going?" If you're not prepared to hear, "Not well." I learned to reach out instead of giving advice. No one wants to hear, "Well, you know, they are better off." I learned to reach out and call someone. I learned to listen. I learned to offer up my help. I can pull weeds, help with the dishes, run errands. I can just be there as you cry and hold your hand.
The life anchor quote resonated with me so powerfully in my relationship with my father who passed in 2020 ❤ it’s so hard to navigate grief bc like they said, it’s with you forever 😢
I LOVED this so much!!! Just one thing though…Dwight Schrute would NEVER leave Dunder Mifflin especially as he was made Manager of the Scranton branch!! 😂 thanks so much for bringing this joy to our lives Rainn Wilson! ❤🙌🏻
Rain, your description of your Dad describes my Dad as well. All my life, I wanted to emulate him. He was my hero and I miss him every day. He went to heaven in 2008, and I know I will see him again.
So much love for this podcast. Rainn and Dwight (minus the extra drama for TV) are same and I love them both. I cannot believe that Dwight became my favorite character and my fav moment was when Dwight finally became the manager. When I saw that episode, it felt like a sign from universe that never stop dreaming, it will flow.
Amo tu podcast Rainn! Estoy escuchando todos los capitulos, uno mejor que el otro. Me encanta que te hayas propuesto la via espiritual. Esto me hace muy bien! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 I’m from Argentina… love your podcast, man!
Interesting they talked about grief and I happened to see this this morning. My Mom died 20 years ago this coming March, when I was 16. I dreamed about her last night. I rarely dream about her but every time I do, I wake up and remember she's not here and immediately feel the grief. Time goes on and the grief will become less, but it will never be gone. And that's okay.
The part where Angela speaks Indonesian and Rainns mouth is just agape with delight.
Dwelight
@@fimnh4543 du dum dish
I can speak it and I feel connected to her now lol
they act like such boomers in real life so watching this can give confidence to even this most pimply nerdy kid in school
not too mention her neck how do u go out looking like that, my confidence shot up 3000% in 10 seconds thank u uploader!
It's crazy how emotional I get just listening to your stories of grief; it's not even my grief...yet, when you (anyone, really) talk about your memories of your loved ones, I feel it too, and tears fill my eyes as if it were my own memories.
Empathy and weed will do that
@@brendenkoontz4614 Sure that's empathy, but not everyone can relate. And I don't smoke, so can't relate to that one.
It's totally human to sympathize. I got teary eyed when she choked up, to see someone hurt and vulnerable is hard.
That empathy is a gift and a curse. Bless your kind heart
@ebevunia "other people feel empathy but not like ME😞 its actually sad that people wont ever get to feel the empathy i feel"
Whaattt?? Angela used to live in Indonesia for 12 YEARS??!! And she speak Indonesian very well??!! Dang it, Angela! I'm from Indonesia and I'm so happy to know that!😍😍😍
IKR!?!?! AS A FELLOW INDONESIAN THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY
WTF?! My partner is Indonesian, she's going to love this.
who would've thought that right!!
The Office is my comfort zone when anything in my life is hard or I am mentally drained.
I can always count on this show to bring me back to feeling better and feeling comfort . It’s like a warm hug that you need when you are feeling down or just want one .
Love this show ❤
Same here
Is there such a thing as TO addiction?
Same 🥹
I agree. I cried watching the last 2 episodes. Like my family was moving on
Same it helps a lot
“Life goes on, and you take the letters off…” - Angela Kinsey
I just wrote this quote on a posted note and set if on my book shelf.
It’s so deep, and simple and beautiful.
…that’s what she said.
What does it mean?
Love it! ❤
What does it mean tho
Can you explain it?
If you watch the video, you’ll understand. There’s a part in which she explains what ir means for her. ❤
"God, woman!" Was said in the Dwightest way possible. I love it! 😂❤
Angela Kinsey is ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL. I love her on Office Ladies and she's just this bright light in media. Love her
Angela was telling Jenna about how she looked horrible without makeup on this episode Are you kidding me?!?!?!?! She looks amazing. Love this podcast
My first thought was “wooowww she looks good”
I totally agree that she looks great. But it’s also okay to not look great. Women should be valued whether they’re old, young, ugly, or beautiful!
Boy are you smart!
@@JTBCPoh wow are you smart!!!
@@maddiemaranto7785 no it’s not. The second my wife’s appearance declines i will replace her immediately. End of discussion.
I am five years younger than Angela, but I too lived in Jakarta and went to JIS. My dad was a petroleum engineer. I think I may have been at JIS at the same time as Angela. Who knows maybe our father's worked together. Such a small world!
Wow!!
Try and contact Angela. She's very nice and would love to reconnect if you two were there at the same time.
The Office has definitely helped me through lonely nights and bouts of depression and anxiety. Especially with the way things are right now. Dwight and Angela were my favorite characters, and I thank you both for bringing them to life. Rainn, you have such a good and charitable heart, you're a light in these dark times.
How?
Seek help
Rainn Wilson has such a great podcast voice
Being able to exist in the same timeline with the casts of The Office is truly a blessing. 🔥🙏
I used to keep The Office playing on my laptop morning, noon and night for about 5 years. I used to sleep with it on. Something about it just soothed me to my soul. I loved watching this podcast today. It feels like I just visited with family.
My Mum passed away 6 months ago and I can't tell you how thankful I was to hear this conversation about grief. ❤
Our all time favorite tv series! I’m from the Philippines and my grown up kid and daughter in law, we always bond watching The Office. Even when I’m watching this alone, I always text my kids and say, it was hilarious that Dwight says he could make his blood pressure go up and down! Or when they did parkour, when Jim would prank you with your office stuff 😂 or when Michael was showing off his plasma tv! Thank you, thank you! Love you guys!
Angela Kinsey and Rainne Wilson are two of those people I just love and enjoy listening to anytime, for pretty much any reason at all...even grief. Office Family Forever is a real vibe
This was the most real conversation I’ve ever heard. You can tell their friendship is genuine 💯
The Office saved many lives, I truly believe that and also believe that’s why so many are hopeful for its return with original cast members.
The best things should be left as they are so that our memories don't get tarnished
@@amitabhsharma3916exactly , like friends reunion for example , or sex in the city was the worst reunions ever , I guess ppl will agree , normal ppl 😊

@@amitabhsharma3916do you remember that big panel the friend’s cast members held shortly after the show ended??
As an atheist, I actually quite enjoyed your mutual expression of faith. The sincerity, honesty, and kindness of yourselves shown through.
"It's really hard to have a sad mama" .... That's so true, my mom mourned her father until she died and it was so hard for me to see her always sad.
It makes me smile that they are still such great friends after all these years.
I lost both of my parents 3 years ago and the grief never goes away. It ebbs and flows. You want their opinion on life and you can't get it anymore.
I agree, I lost my mother in 1999 and I was 18. I am 43 and I still feel it.
You guys are telling me that the grief of losing parents NEVER goes away? Man that sucks.

He's watching you and the beautiful family you've built ❤❤❤ He's still with you ❤️
The last 5 minutes of them riffing on what Dwight and Angela would be up to these days is a freaking masterclass without them even knowing it.
🤗
I’m a lonesome person. Mostly by choice. These videos make me feel good. The warmth on display is beautiful. Deep conversations but with humour and warmth. Best videos online!

Lost my mom three years ago. Sending you love. ❤

It was so amazing to see you take a moment to pray together. The power of prayer can heal, strengthen and overcome anything life throws at us. Love the podcast and I can sum it up with 3 things, bears, beets, Battlestar Galactictica!!
Thank you so much for making this episode. Harlan Ellison once wrote that getting old means watching everyone around you die, and realizing that it could be your turn next (I'm paraphrasing). I never felt that line hit so hard until this year, where everyone around me has been dying and the grief has been so hard to deal with. Hearing you guys talk about this stuff is truly a huge help at this junction in my life, so again: thank you so much :)
You don’t understand how much I love you 2 and the whole cast. Thank you for this gift ❤
Another fantastic episode! I love that the topics of this podcast are so close to everyone, real talk about day-to-day stuff that everyone goes through! Thank you Angela and Rainn!
Much love from Barcelona!!!
Thank you for mentioning grappling with the grief of losing your dads. I lost my mom last year and the grief is still gutting, dark and often unbearabke. Only those who went through that kind of loss get the constant ache. I wished i could talk about it to family but they quickly change the subject to prevent my suffering more, which actually just makes it worse.
So thanks for validating the degree of grief. ❤
I just rewatched all of The Office. I have been going through some dark times, but something about The Office makes me feel that everything is going to be okay.
You guys made me tear up! The Office definitely has help a lot of people, even myself during hard times. Mental health is rough and real. Hope everyone who needs help can reach out and get the help needed.
The amount of times I’ve re-watched the office is sickening! 😂 it stays on repeat. You guys have truly got me through the darkest times in my life. This is truly my comfort show❤️
BEING ABLE TO see u together makes me VERY HAPPY! Thank you for this AMAZING inteview... its so warm for the heart
I love when the cast members of the show reunite. I loved watching this! (Also: Rainn’s voice is so soothing 😭✨)
I often put his audiobooks on to go to sleep ☺️
What a great podcast and at a great time too. My grandfather passed away two months ago and he was really my father he would always call me his son. So it is really nice to hear about Rain and Angela’s experiences with there fathers passing away. Thank you.
"A Mongoose In The Ceiling" -- the new children's book by Angela Kinsey.
I love this podcast, thank you so much.
I just discovered this podcast and I love this so much! I didn’t know this podcast is what I was missing in my life. Thank you so much for the love and the laughs and the getting real with emotions. Thank you so much ❤
It took me a long time to get over my mother's passing. I spent a year in grief. She was my anchor and support. I learned a lot in that. I learned that you should not ask someone, "Hey, how's things going?" If you're not prepared to hear, "Not well." I learned to reach out instead of giving advice. No one wants to hear, "Well, you know, they are better off." I learned to reach out and call someone. I learned to listen. I learned to offer up my help. I can pull weeds, help with the dishes, run errands. I can just be there as you cry and hold your hand.
Dang, I love this podcast. What delightful and open people. I'm better for the time I spend here. Thank you.
The stories of grief and how the feelings come in waves. 🍃
More episodes with office cast!! Let us see Dwight and Jim talk about the classic pranks plz 💜
I love Angela so much! She has such a beautiful soul❤
Agreed!
The life anchor quote resonated with me so powerfully in my relationship with my father who passed in 2020 ❤ it’s so hard to navigate grief bc like they said, it’s with you forever 😢
The chemistry you guys have was awesome thrue out this podcast. Makes me miss the office even more!
I LOVED this so much!!! Just one thing though…Dwight Schrute would NEVER leave Dunder Mifflin especially as he was made Manager of the Scranton branch!! 😂 thanks so much for bringing this joy to our lives Rainn Wilson! ❤🙌🏻
got me tearing up at 7 am on a tuesday
Such a nice peaceful heartwarming channel. I am definitely sharing. Thank you Rainn.
You see Rainn and Angela: You Are The Greatest People In The World.
Rain, your description of your Dad describes my Dad as well. All my life, I wanted to emulate him. He was my hero and I miss him every day. He went to heaven in 2008, and I know I will see him again.
Attended your event in Santa Cruz last night and I've been binging Soul Boom since. Thanks for doing these !!
So much love for this podcast. Rainn and Dwight (minus the extra drama for TV) are same and I love them both. I cannot believe that Dwight became my favorite character and my fav moment was when Dwight finally became the manager. When I saw that episode, it felt like a sign from universe that never stop dreaming, it will flow.
Amo tu podcast Rainn! Estoy escuchando todos los capitulos, uno mejor que el otro. Me encanta que te hayas propuesto la via espiritual. Esto me hace muy bien! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 I’m from Argentina… love your podcast, man!
Love how I just looked up "Rainn Wilson" and this popped up. So glad to be here at the beginning!
so glad to have you!!
Interesting they talked about grief and I happened to see this this morning. My Mom died 20 years ago this coming March, when I was 16. I dreamed about her last night. I rarely dream about her but every time I do, I wake up and remember she's not here and immediately feel the grief. Time goes on and the grief will become less, but it will never be gone. And that's okay.
The Office is such a source of joy and comfort to me. Love you guys!
Great conversation. The discussion around grief really resonated with me. ❤
This was fantastic! The Office is one of those rare shows where the cast really are good friends. Very refreshing
We love you both! All the best!
Rainn and Angela is such a delight to watch ❤
