Brian Baumgartner (The Office, Off The Beat) joins us this week to reflect on how the celebration of the ordinary with a show like The Office has led to its resurgence as one of the most popular shows today, even years after it ended.
Brian shares stories landing his role as Kevin and talks about how the show has gained a second life with podcasts, NY Times best sellers, and his very own chili cookbook.
We also talk about our shared backroom run ins with Jack Nicholson, how separation from his phone by going golfing eases his anxiety, and Brian’s catalyst moment that moved him from theater to film and television.

Brian's such a good actor, I had a hard time understanding who was speaking at first because in twenty years of knowing about him, I've never heard his normal (Not Kevin) voice until now. Absolute legend.

[@SJReid82]

'Kevin's Chili' will never not be the single greatest moment of the Office.

[@JohnLRice]

It was shocking and funny, but I genuinely felt bad for Kevin! 😭😄

[@Loserville1997]

It was funny but not the best part of that show. Wtf

[@BenSkyLakewood]

Dude crazy amount of adds Whats up???

[@JohnLRice]

@@Loserville1997 Agreed, possibly Kevin's most memorable moment but . . .

[@JohnLRice]

@@BenSkyLakewood I know, I didn't time it but it seemed sometimes there was only a few minutes between some of the ads!

[@moviesquad73]

It was Ed Helms' character dating a high school student

[@msdixieblues]

The scene of Kevin walking his chilli up through the many flights of stairs was so funny and so poignant at the same time.

[@Mrniceguysupreme]

I come back weekly each and every time. Your podcasts make Seattle traffic somehow less painful and they help pass the time while I’m working. Amazing work to you, Ryan and all others behind the camera.

[@aljabirxiju9475]

LOL

[@theresemarkham9387]

I am enjoying listening to this episode. This definitely makes my drive to work better. Inside of you Tuesday is the best day of the week. I am learning a lot more Brian.

[@marybrokop4432]

Always something that reaches inside of me. Tuesdays are the best because of Inside of You...and I sleep so well falling asleep to the sound of Rosen-calms voice. ❤️ 🌹 ❤️

[@Omaru1982]

Michael should've played Jack in Dr Sleep, that impression is *Chef's kiss* I also love that line because it follows his conversation with Lloyd so the accusatory tone is so left field in context

[@eduraale]

Brian Baumgartner is awesome! Not only as an actor. I'm not english native but mid episode I realized that Brian speaks with the most clear pronunciation I've ever heard. I don't know if this is something that he has practiced or is inherent to him, but I was able to understand every word that he said.

[@krissisu1111]

Fantastic interview! I'm really digging this podcast, nice work!

[@guitaoist]

The shinings big twist is that all the “continuity” errors and moved furniture between cuts are there in order to distinguish between Reality vs Jack’s Novel he himself is writing..

[@GIJose]

Did not expect his voice to sound like this…

[@DaNOliveiraDaN]

Hi, Michael! I'm a big fan of yours. I study applied lingusitics in college and today I made a presentation about questions asked at a Comic Con event, dissecting question structures and all and to set the context for the class, I used an episode of your pod with Kate Flannery. Thanks for being there with me, bud. I love you and I love listening to you. Hope you read this message. Love. Dan

[@jasonsmith2775]

Michael, you are thoroughly enjoyable! Keep it going!! 👍

[@theresemarkham9387]

After finishing this week’s episode I am know craving chili. Y’all need to do a project together. Such a delightful episode.

[@leannepritchett6323]

Very fun and engaging interview with such a talented and kind man. Doesn’t get any better. Thank you Rosey 🙏🏻❤️

[@msdixieblues]

As always, thank you very much for a great guest!

[@LuisCastillo-xf2hm]

LOVE how they GEEK out about JACK. My fav. Actor too!!!

[@filosofotacio8950]

Its weird how these two sounds almost identical, its like listening to someone talking to themselves.

[@LiLisa24]

I loved when you were on Brian Baumgartner’s podcast!! I’m looking forward to learn more about him through yours ^_^ Thank you Michael ❤️ Hope you have an amazing week and you are being kind to yourself ❤️ Happy Tuesday ^_^ 💙

[@jeannerowella9861]

Really enjoyed this interview!

[@derrekflacco2323]

That jack impression was spot on man

[@dawnbevins451]

Another great episode, with another person I'm not familiar with 😆 (I don't live under a rock, just England... which is sort of the same thing), but I just love learning about actors who are new to me, so many new stories, so many new experiences I haven't heard before, it is a delight. Also, seeing the two of you talking about Jack, and getting so excited, that was adorable, really made me smile. A wonderful episode, Brian seemed so lovely, I'll definitely go search for his podcast and look up The Office, Thank you Brian! Thank you Rosey! ❤

[@vivianbloom166]

He's such a lovely guy! His chili cookbook sounds like the perfect birthday gift for my bestie.

[@Conorooney]

Come man chapters, CHAPTERS!!!!!

[@mikebear7636]

love this man 😍

[@ace360]

My favorite part of Tuesday 💙🤘

[@guitaoist]

The Shining documentary made by Kubricks daughter was pretty cryptic and most likely has hidden meaning that Kubrick incorporated. He breaks the 4th wall like that

[@MissPerriwinkle]

he was so dang kool on la office...

[@Funkym0nkee]

We share the same favorite line in The Shining! 🤣 "are you out of your f*cking mind?"

[@JohnLRice]

Great podcast as always! I was worried for Ryan though, he looked a lot different and he wasn't taking notes so I was concerned if he was feeling OK or not?! 🤗

[@wtothez]

Yo, its Ryan from The Warp Zone. How did I miss this.

[@Mark-OutWest]

Take a shot every time they say podcast.

[@josephfuller554]

This channel has seriously become my favorite on youtube! I look more forward to these episode releases than House of Dragons. Love seeing Brian on here

[@super_aesthetic_athlete6847]

Fun fact I always listen to the podcast and imagine the cartoon flash(Michael) interviewing real people lol. Great guest Mike 💪 loved him on the office

[@oscarpadilla9936]

Would have been a thousand times better in the kevin malone voice the whole time 😂

[@Eremon1]

This episode was the Baum!

[@davidhooie4692]

Ed Helms' character, Andy, was the one dating the High School girl.

[@jonbarranca4087]

5:05 it’s Andy

[@wittywhim]

What the fuck is his voice? So majestic!

[@gaberamirez7246]

Love your podcast

[@jerryw2460]

Another great podcast, I would love to see Bruce Campbell in studio someday.

[@Bayougirl78]

I just watched the rerun of "Criminal Minds" where he guest starred, lol.

[@SuzanneEstevez]

Michael and Brian…voice twins!

[@lindamawdsley6130]

Enjoyed listening to you and your new bestie finding out about the similarities you share, a very entertaining episode 💖

[@jsbrads1]

When the show ended I thought all these people were my friends. I once saw Toby from like 100ft and he was looking in my direction so I raised my hand to wave, and thank God at that moment he looked down just before I waved 😅

[@ianlassitter2397]

His voice is so much lower then his characters.

[@ashleyryan1]

The shining: I'm curious if you saw both versions?

[@mariahbrazel5024]

Love the podcast, love you and your guests, had so much fun meeting you in metropolis Illinois, but I keep noticing that the headset on guests looks like it has a knot in the cord, and I don't know why it bothers me, can you please untangle it or at least let me know that it isn't actually a knot in the cord.

[@casbee9610]

I think it might be a plastic clip to clip the cable somewhere if its bothersome.

[@CinemaGulp]

KEVIN!!!!

[@trell2k]

You never know how much an actor is like the person they portray. I loved Kevin, but can honestly say I like Brian more. What a great guy, and very unlike Kevin in real life, other than being tremendously likable.

[@dominique9187]

Brian is a nice person❤ Podcast and joyful and fascinating anecdotes, in particular those on Jack Nickolson, immense actor and on Harrison Ford 👏 Chili competition is so funny 😅 I enjoyed this episode once again 💙💙👍

[@HupCapNinja]

Every time I hear Michael I just hear Nishiki from Yakuza 1.

[@ladysamxoxo]

yessssssss! brian is awesome!

[@BrockSamson-i1i]

hehe "Randy Baumgartner"

[@keltiemoon]

The king of beans 🙌🏻

[@nathanpoirier7200]

kevin passed out in hot car is the best

[@Steve.Cutler]

Geez, you have the most and longest ads ive seen on a youtube page! I was going to subscribe but thats WAY too much add. I could watch tv and not have that many ads.😂

[@aas-rx6bm]

The number of ads are obscene bro. Even for an ex actor 😂🤣😂

[@julieboyd9731]

His Voice 😳

[@travishutchison6459]

Bro... you gotta shorten the ad reads cause this podcast is only half as long as the actual run time

[@mechanoidwarhead5530]

Is it just me or do these guys sound the exact same?

[@bensalter7997]

Sorry for what I did. Sorry for what I did.

[@aaronbird9569]

Andy Bernard had a high-school girlfriend on the office

[@semblt]

3:22

[@vanmoody]

I love the theory that Kevin was just playing dumb and was secretly embezzling money from Dunder Miflin. He used that money to buy the bar he owned at the end of the show.

[@JWAcal]

Man. His voice is so different from the show. Weird. Very good voice though

[@guitaoist]

The Office rules because it was right before woke culture cancelled anything even somewhat offensive

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Listen I get it. When that’s your reality I know how you can feel how you feel about that work. But imagine working the last 3 months 7 days a week building a home with zero help. And making probably what you make in 1/2 a day. lol. Maybe it will help keep that in prospective.

[@jayjamjackproductions2101]

His voice doesn’t match his face lol

[@missjammehvishishdoll5907]

🤓🤳

[@MajorClownShoe]

An original is not a version “ Kevin “ it’s the original, there is only one version and one original so far. 😂

[@685_Era]

Kevin is the best 😂🤙🏾
