[@Author_I]

I will say that the show, "The Office" has helped me with my mental health for sure.

[@ramyatn1953]

Same, buddy. Same.

[@treemarie3080]

Same, same, same :))

[@bluebabyydragon]

The part where Angela speaks Indonesian and Rainns mouth is just agape with delight.

[@ebevunia]

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.

[@brendenkoontz4614]

Empathy and weed will do that

[@ebevunia]

​@@brendenkoontz4614 Sure that's empathy, but not everyone can relate. And I don't smoke, so can't relate to that one.

[@0fluffhead0]

It's totally human to sympathize. I got teary eyed when she choked up, to see someone hurt and vulnerable is hard.

[@notjoshmerkle]

That empathy is a gift and a curse. Bless your kind heart

[@andream138]

Angela was telling Jenna about how she looked horrible without makeup on this episode Are you kidding me?!?!?!?! She looks amazing. Love this podcast

[@JTBCP]

My first thought was “wooowww she looks good”

[@maddiemaranto7785]

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!

[@TheFatherHimself]

Boy are you smart!

[@TheFatherHimself]

@@maddiemaranto7785 no it’s not. The second my wife’s appearance declines i will replace her immediately. End of discussion.

“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.

[@RobustMustache]

Every character on The Office were the most real characters ever developed. I have worked with a version of almost every character. And the beauty of the show was making all of these characters likable and relatable.

[@doplet118]

Stanley sat in front me for about 10 years oh gush

[@jasonmoser24]

I think that’s why it’s been so popular. Most of us have worked with these people ourselves so it’s very relatable

"God, woman!" Was said in the Dwightest way possible. I love it! 😂❤

[@404neverfound3]

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!😍😍😍

[@vanessamiranda1844]

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.

[@amitabhsharma3916]

The best things should be left as they are so that our memories don't get tarnished

[@whispering8833]

@@amitabhsharma3916exactly , like friends reunion for example , or sex in the city was the worst reunions ever , I guess ppl will agree , normal ppl 😊

[@amitabhsharma3916]

@@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

[@ITMacPro]

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!

[@SoulBoom]

Wow!!

[@frenchtoast7742]

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 ❤

[@mattcarle7905]

My Mum passed away 6 months ago and I can't tell you how thankful I was to hear this conversation about grief. ❤

[@CareyKlemm]

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.

[@SoulBoom]

🤗

[@StaceKarussos]

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.

[@tara-leedawn5509]

I agree, I lost my mother in 1999 and I was 18. I am 43 and I still feel it.

[@dianaRC]

Angela Kinsey is ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL. I love her on Office Ladies and she's just this bright light in media. Love her

[@traecox815]

[@brandontrice1741]

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.

[@nicktaylor6724]

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!

[@giuliaquilici9113]

I lost my mom 6 years ago and Angela’s words are so relatable ❤

[@alexpacheco6626]

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

[@CTCF17]

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.

[@Eva_x_x]

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

[@r.leonardcurtiss8336]

Dude cant wait for more episodes good job to eveyone involved. Looking forward to see how it evolves

It's hard to have a Office Fav, but Angela is def in the rotation of favs.

[@SharlaO]

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. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@vianeyc8046]

You don’t understand how much I love you 2 and the whole cast. Thank you for this gift ❤

[@davidmikhael711]

The stories of grief and how the feelings come in waves. 🍃

[@csu311]

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 ❤

[@LEOMARIANOCA]

You guys were part of my life for almost a decade. That episode was very refreshing and very delightful to me. Thank you!

Beautiful, thank you so much, Rainn & Angela!

[@amcz]

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.

[@mythoflorien]

BEING ABLE TO see u together makes me VERY HAPPY! Thank you for this AMAZING inteview... its so warm for the heart

[@dustwrites]

Dang, I love this podcast. What delightful and open people. I'm better for the time I spend here. Thank you.

[@debilarge]

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.

[@jess_hartmn2710]

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 😢

[@sarahmoran4571]

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.

[@sherabyounten3770]

Rainn and Angela is such a delight to watch ❤

[@jencountry]

This just made my heart so happy. You are both such joys. Thank you!

[@sherryjohnson4307]

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!

Agreed!

[@Deegstroyer98]

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.

[@joelsimonson6896]

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!!

Great conversation. The discussion around grief really resonated with me. ❤

[@oliviachatfield5782]

This podcast channel is my freaking favorite! I could listen to that voice all day! So proud of your work! ❤😄

[@RojayBimpson]

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 :)

[@StefanoSPGamerPC]

Sooooo goooood to see you 2 together ❤❤ You made my year ❤❤

[@franciscosuarez4725]

this episode brought some crazy emotions i didn’t know i was ignoring about death and memories!

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.

[@mediocrelife2632]

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.

[@jekuduyao8351]

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. 💖😌

[@thaishelenabueno]

Angela brings me so many good vibes (just like you Rainn). And it's so weird cause you know we don't even know each other but it's almost like you can feel the level of intimacy and brotherhood from here. (Far from los Angeles lol). So beautiful when you both shared about your dads. From 2022 and 2023 I dealt with some griefs in my life. I lost a friend, an old love, my grandma and my dog. They now moved to a place inside of me now, where I know it's safe and beautiful. So I guess we don't lose people, they just morph into something we can't see and they live inside of us, that's my view of this subject. ❤️ beautiful conversation.
