- I was driving yesterday and I was chewing a piece of gum.
(Jenna laughing)
I was popping my gum and I bit the shiitake
out of my tongue.
It's so bad, look at it.
- No, it's really bad.
- Look at it, you see it?
- It's really bad.
- It's a raised bump.
I was on the phone with Josh, and I was like,
"And another thing."
(screams)
- Oh my God, it's really bad.
- I know, it really hurts.
(upbeat music)
I have a question for you.
We cut back to Pam's desk area.
- Mm-hmm.
- So at around 37 seconds, Jenna,
there's an "I heart you" pillow.
- [Jenna] Yes!
- There's like a red Valentine's bear, what's up?
What's up?
This isn't the Valentine's episode.
What's going on?
- I don't know.
I had those same things.
I noticed that, yes, at 37 seconds
there's a really great shot of my desk.
What's up with that?
I also have a yoga card.
- [Angela] Well, I gave that to you.
- [Jenna] You did? - [Angela] Yes.
- [Jenna] That's from you?
- That's from me.
So I have, that's one of my cards for today.
So I had written you a card.
I had bought those little yoga cards at Target.
- [Jenna] Uh-huh?
- [Angela] You can get, like, a pack of 10.
- [Jenna] Yeah.
- [Angela] And she had a little pink outfit on.
- [Jenna] Doing down dog!
- [Angela] And so, I had written you a card on that
and you kept it and you had it on your desk.
You know, that is so sweet.
- I had become a series regular and we were so excited.
And I had just wrote a little card about, just like,
I was so excited that we could have our lunches
and all that stuff.
- You guys, this is an Angela thing you should know.
You still do that to this day.
You love these little cards, it's so cute,
and you are very good at handwriting
just messages of gratitude, mostly.
I have so many from you.
I'm so grateful for this friendship
and it's the sweetest thing about you.
- Aw, thanks, lady.
- You're really good at that.
- I put a note in my daughter's lunch a lot
and I made one this morning.
I drew a little palm tree and a beach.
- [Jenna] Aw.
- [Angela] 'Cause she loves the beach and I just put,
"Have a great day."
(bouncing)
- That's a very sweet thing about you, Angela.
- Well, thank you.
But now, looking back,
I'm sure the yoga card must have been weird,
but I guess I probably just thought they were cute.
- No, I think because I did yoga.
Didn't I do yoga?
- You did yoga.
And you brought me to a yoga class
and it was one of the most painful experiences of my life,
which is-
(both laughing)
- Wait, but to be fair, to be fair,
I had brought you to what I thought
was a beginner yoga class.
- Well, first of all, you were like,
"Ang, go to yoga with me."
And I said, "Jenna, I've never been to yoga.
"I don't really get it, I don't understand it.
"I don't know what any of it means.
"I'd have to go to a beginner beginner."
- [Jenna] Yeah!
- And you were like, I've got it, it's amazing.
- Yeah, there's this one on Tuesdays.
We'll go to this beginner yoga class, it'll be terrific.
- We waited for a day off.
You took me to that yoga class.
- Mm-hmm.
- It was not the beginner class.
- It was so not beginner.
- And this woman was like militant.
I thought yoga was supposed to be like,
oh, peaceful stretch.
She was like, "Da, da!"
Like, she was yelling and then she got mad at me.
- It was like an intermediate flow class,
for anyone who does yoga.
- And she was basically speaking a different language.
It was like, shavasanas and stuff like that.
I don't know what that means.
I didn't know what that meant.
And she got really annoyed with me, do you remember?
- [Jenna] I do, and I felt really protective of you because-
- [Angela] Then we started giggling.
- [Jenna] Yeah, we got in trouble
- [Angela] She really didn't like that.
- No, but I just kept thinking the whole time,
what the heck?
This is, explain, explain.
This is beginner.
But if anyone knows, yoga flow,
they just shout out the poses and it goes really fast
and they don't even explain what they are.
- [Angela] And I kept raising my hand.
- I was so mad and afterwards I was, oh,
I was so fired up to complain
because here I had finally convinced you
to go to a yoga class with me.
I knew this would never happen again after this debacle.
And it turns out I read the schedule wrong.
And it was, in fact, an intermediate flow class.
I mean, that's what it was.
- And when you realized that, do you remember what you did?
- (laughing) No.
- You started laughing.
You started laughing so hard.
You were like, oh, sorry.
I was like, oh my God.
- But then, Angela-
- There was a pose, wait, you guys have to know,
if you've never, ever, I'd never been to yoga.
There was a pose where they all
frickin' stood on their head.
They put their feet in the air
and they rolled up on their shoulders,
on their head and neck.
I thought I was going to die.
- Well, I don't know if you remember, Angela,
but the next day you called me and you said,
"I can't put my hair in a ponytail
"because I can't put my arms above my head, I'm so sore."
- I was so sore.
I've never been bent that way.
I was so sore.
- That's what she said.
- Oh dear, that was too much.
- Oh no, oh no.
But I didn't go to yoga for years.
It took me years to go back to yoga.
- This is, by the way, I think a fitting tangent,
another injury.
- [Angela] I know.
It might be why I gave you a card with a yoga lady on it.
(both laughing)
- Maybe it was.
(upbeat music)
How did Dwight driving into the pole work?
Was he driving or was it someone else?
I reached out to Rainn Wilson to get the full story on this.
- What did my tall geeky man, love of my life say?
- Here's what he said.
He said, if you notice, you never actually see the crash.
- [Angela] No.
- You just hear it.
So they just put the car there
and he just staggered out of it.
Later when he's driving away, that was a stunt driver.
Rainn never actually drove the car.
Another fan question.
"What did Rainn Wilson use for his throw-up on the car?"
- Blech.
- Cream of potato soup.
- Blech.
- And Rainn told me it was actually his idea
to throw up across the back windshield.
In the script and on the day
he was directed to throw up on the pavement
outside of the car, but he thought it would be funnier
if he threw up across the back windshield.
They only did about two takes,
but he said he really hurt his neck.
- Doing the fake throw-up?
- Yeah, because he said he had to, like-
- [Angela] Project?
- Yeah, he had to like propel his neck forward
so that the vomit would really splatter.
And he said it was sore for like two weeks afterwards.
(Angela laughing)
So Rainn Wilson got an injury, filming "The Injury."
- I'm sorry, this is like the kind of stuff,
I always felt like as a cast and as a show,
we didn't travel well, we'd be like, "Safety meeting!"
Right?
We have a candle, we have fake throw-up.
And then there's other shows with
insane explosions and car chases.
But we get an injury from fake vomiting.
- [Jenna] We did, he did.
- [Angela] I'm sorry, Rainn.
- All right.
So the next thing that happens is that
Michael enters on crutches
and he has his foot in bubble wrap.
- I have a question for you, Jenna, speaking of bubble wrap.
- Yeah.
- Not too long ago, you injured your foot.
- (laughing) I did.
- [Angela] Hiking, right?
Weren't you hiking and you hurt your foot?
- [Jenna] Yeah, I did.
- And then you started wearing this big boot around,
but then the boot started rubbing your shin
and then one day you showed up and I could hear
(squishing)
And I said, what is that noise?
And I looked down at your boot
and sticking out from your boot is bubble wrap!
- [Jenna] Yeah!
- What?
- So these boots, they have these like metal rods in them,
which are what keep your foot stable, right?
And it was like pressing into my shin
and I complained about it on Instagram.
I just said, anyone who's ever worn these,
how did you make these comfortable?
Because it's like my foot feels better,
but now my shin I feel like I'm bruising my bone of my shin.
Someone jokingly wrote back and said,
"You should wrap it in bubble wrap, like Michael."
And I was like, well, I mean, that's not a bad idea.
And it worked!
It was so effective!
Hot tip, anyone who has to wear a boot,
just wrap your shin in bubble wrap.
- Thank you, Michael Scott.
- Thank you, Michael Scott, thank you, "The Injury."
(upbeat music)
All right,
a ton of people wrote in about this conspiracy theory
that Steve had a prop foot that he propped up on the pillow
and they sent these pictures that seem to imply
that his body is doing something that
a normal human body couldn't do.
- No, that's Steve's foot!
- That is Steve's foot.
- Yeah.
- But I got so many emails and so many comments about it.
- That's crazy.
- That I started, I mean, we were there.
We know there was no fake foot on a pillow.
- [Angela] No.
- But the pictures were so convincing
that I reached out to Steve.
- [Angela] Oh my God, Jenna.
- [Jenna] I bothered Steve Carell.
- [Angela] You were like, "Steve was that your foot?"
And he's like, "What are you talking about?"
I'm guessing.
- [Jenna] It was like 11 at night.
- [Angela] He was like, "Um, hi Jenna. I hope you're well,
yeah, that was my foot."
(laughing)
- I wrote Steve this email message.
It was like 11:00 PM, I was like,
Steve, I feel like I know the answer to this.
And I sort of explained it.
- [Angela] And also I'm not drunk.
- [Jenna] And he wrote back and he's like,
"Is this what it's come to?"
No.
- [Angela] This is what we talk about on the podcast.
(laughing)
- [Jenna] He was like, it was not a fake foot,
it was my foot.
- It was his foot.
I even remember him having to go special to hair and makeup
because they put those divots on the bottom.
- [Jenna] The grill marks.
- [Angela] The grill marks.
That was like special effects makeup.
- Yeah, a lot of people asked how they did that.
There's like this putty that they use to make those
and they glue it on your foot with a special glue
and then they-
- Spearmint glue or something like that.
- [Jenna] It is called like spearmint glue.
But then they'll use this airbrush makeup machine
to make it blend and then they'll stipple highlight on it.
- [Angela] It's a pretty amazing, did you say stipple?
- [Jenna] Stipple, that is what is called a stipple sponge.
(both laughing)
- [Angela] It is?
- Yeah, did you not take, like, Theater Makeup 101?
- Watch yourself, watch yourself.
- Well, in my theater training,
we had to buy a Ben Nye makeup kit,
which included a stipple sponge.
- [Angela] Well, I was doing comedy.
I was doing improv on stage
while you were playing with your sponge.
