Friday Chit Chat with Rainn Wilson!

Summary

Office Ladies – "Friday Chit Chat with Rainn Wilson!" (February 27, 2026)

Episode Overview

In this lively "Friday Chit Chat" episode, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey—aka the Office Ladies—are joined by their beloved co-star Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute) for a fan-inspired discussion. The trio tackles the question: "Which Office character would you want to be stuck camping with for three days and why?" Their answers spark a hilarious, heartfelt, and occasionally absurd conversation about camping styles, survival skills, cast chemistry, personal fears, and some unexpected behind-the-scenes gems. Along the way, they reminisce, tease one another, and reflect on real-life adventures (including Rainn's wild Bear Grylls experience), all in their signature fun-and-friendly banter.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Rainn’s Return and Office Memorabilia

• Rainn greets Jenna and Angela, joking about his Seattle Seahawks hat and "bed head."
• "I do, yes. It's one of my few kind of office memorabilias. I've just got a Michael Skarn poster." (Rainn, 02:13)
• They riff about collecting signatures from various cast members for his "Threat Level Midnight" poster.
• Light teasing from Rainn about Office Ladies' "listener base":
  "Jenna, I hate to break it to you. No one listens to this show… It’s AI bots or something." (Rainn, 03:49)

2. Audience Chit Chat Question: "Who Would You Go Camping With?"

• The central segment kicks off with a question from listener Audrey W.:
  "Who would you like to be stuck camping with for three days and why?" (Angela, 04:14)

Rainn's Take (Dwight Wilson):

• Suggests, as Dwight, that an episode about Dwight and Andy camping together would be comedic gold due to their extreme contrasts in approach—Dwight as rugged survivalist, Andy with luxury gear.
  • "Andy would have, like the perfect tent from L.L. Bean…a solar panel and a drone that…can bring in food... Dwight would just have like a loincloth and a knife..." (Rainn, 05:03)
  • Angela and Jenna riff: Andy would have a banjo, an elaborate s'mores kit, and eco-unfriendly sunscreen.
  • "He'd have an elevated tent that...inflated and brought him off the ground." (Rainn, 06:15)
• Would Rainn (the real person) rather camp with Dwight or Andy?
  • Admits he'd opt for Andy:
    "Dwight would definitely be more of an adventure, but…I'm a little bit more of the indoor type. I think that Andy would be great. Cause it's just entertainment, technology, comfort. I'm going to go straight up with Andy. Final answer." (Rainn, 06:49)

Jenna’s Choices (Pam):

• Considers who she’d least want—Dwight (too intense) and Jim (not outdoorsy).
• Picks Roy for practical reasons:
  • "Doesn't Roy seem like he's going to carry a lot of heavy and he's going to put up the tent?...If a bear came along, he's definitely getting in the middle of me and a bear." (Jenna, 07:14)
  • Acknowledges potential party all-night drawbacks, but values protection.
• Brings up Karen as another top choice:
  • "She's smart, she's funny. We would have similar interests...we would have a little rosé by the fire in the evening." (Jenna, 08:03)
• For couples camping: Michael and Holly for fun and childlike wonder.
  • "Michael in his just, like, childlike wonder of the world, I think could be fun to camp with and entertaining." (Jenna, 08:49)

Angela’s Picks (Angela):

• Swerves for comfort: Jo Bennett for glamorous camping ("glamping"):
  • "I think she goes full glamping, and I don't want to poop in the woods...I want some type of, like, fashion toilet situation." (Angela, 10:22)
  • Imagines Jo’s dogs as pack animals, luxury chairs, and staff to set up camp. (Rainn, 10:59; Angela, 11:02)
• In real life: Creed Bratton—the real actor—as her camping buddy:
  • "He goes fishing with his son...he would have campfire songs and craz— that you wouldn't know, are these true or not? He can spin a yarn." (Angela, 11:13)
  • Rainn agrees:
    "Creed is always the best answer...three hours guaranteed entertainment every night at the campfire with Creed. No doubt. Songs, stories, monologues, dances." (Rainn, 11:52)
  • Cites Creed’s yoga and love for naps as added perks.

3. Debates, Riffs, and Behind-The-Scenes Fun

• Rainn pokes fun at Jenna for choosing Roy as her bear-protector over Dwight:
  "You have Rainn Wilson on your show, and you're talking about how Roy would be the best one to defend you from a bear. Are you kidding me?" (Rainn, 09:18; Jenna’s defense, 09:42)
• Angela humorously points out her toilet needs:
  "I don't want to use a [leaf]. That sounds horrible." (Angela, 11:13)
• They fantasize about which cast or crew really would be good in the wild, ultimately settling on Randall Einhorn (DP/director), Matt Sohn (cameraman), both ex-Survivor crew.
  • "Randall...was a whitewater rafting enthusiast and has traveled the world and hiked the outback..." (Rainn, 17:46)
  • "He should have put you in the backpack...just like Dwight and Angela, your American Doll size." (Rainn, 18:57)
• Absurd hypothetical: Angela riding Jo Bennett’s dogs, or being carried in a backpack a la “Amazing Race.” (10:59, 18:57)

4. “The Office” Cast on The Amazing Race (12:57–13:59)

• Imagines pairings: Angela & Jenna as a disastrous team ("we'd be terrible"), Rainn with Angela for physical challenges, all cast combos competing (Phyllis & Bob Vance, Mindy & BJ, etc.).
  • "I would love to see you guys on an Amazing Race. That's a great idea. For real. You'd be so good." (Rainn, 13:08)
  • "Who is doing the physical challenges?...Who's, like, ziplining down the side of the mountain between me and Angela?" (Jenna, 13:15)
  • Angela: "I don't like to eat weird things." (13:22); Rainn: "Yeah, I eat a scorpion. I went on Bear Grylls." (13:40)

5. Rainn Wilson’s Bear Grylls Survival Story (13:45–15:44)

• Rainn recounts going on "Running Wild with Bear Grylls."
  "He strapped me to a helicopter...I was chained, and we were zooming 100, 200ft over the trees at like, 50 miles an hour. And I have a fear of heights, and it was brutal." (Rainn, 13:59)
  • The worst: being winched up by a cable, dangling over mountains.
  • "It goes beyond terror, where you're just like, okay, I guess I'm gonna die." (Rainn, 15:03)
• Details other survival activities: eating "rot grubs," cold plunges, ziplining.
  • "The grubs...taste like peanut butter." (Rainn, 15:44)
  • Angela cracks up at the gross factor; Jenna jokes about protein-forward diets.

6. Pop Culture Riffs / Notable Asides

• The “Dune” movies: Rainn is a fan, Jenna confesses she tried and just couldn’t get into it; Angela loves them. (19:33–19:59)
• Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes monologue: Rainn recommends her bit about Hans Zimmer and "Dune." (20:01–20:20)
• Running plug for Rainn’s new movie "Code 3" on Hulu:
  • Jenna: "I've seen Rain's new movie, Code 3, and it's excellent, Rain. It's truly excellent. And you're so good in it." (21:15)
  • Rainn shouts out his co-stars: "Amy Carrero, Lil Rel Howery, Rob Riggle..." (21:46)

[Rainn Wilson]

Hi.

[Angela Kinsey]

Hi. Rainn Wilson.

[Rainn Wilson]

Hi, Angela. Hi, Jenna. Hi, office ladies.

[Jenna Fischer]

Thanks for joining us.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yeah. And you're proudly wearing your Seattle Seahawks hat.

[Rainn Wilson]

I'm representing.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yeah.

[Rainn Wilson]

Also, I haven't taken a shower yet, so my hair is matted. I wasn't sure if we were recording video like for social media purposes or whatever.

[Jenna Fischer]

So we're not.

[Angela Kinsey]

No worries. Your bed head is safe with us.

[Rainn Wilson]

Excellent. It's good to see you guys remotely. You look great.

[Jenna Fischer]

Do you have a Michael Scarn threat level midnight poster over your shoulder?

[Rainn Wilson]

I do, yes. It's one of my few kind of office memorabilias. I've just got a Michael Skarn poster.

[Jenna Fischer]

Yeah, I'd probably hang looks signed.

[Rainn Wilson]

No, it's not signed. I suppose I could get it signed. I know the guy, Steve Carell who played Michael Scarn. So I suppose I could get it signed.

[Jenna Fischer]

It's very cool.

[Rainn Wilson]

Even that Krasinski fellow, although he's kind of busy in New York.

[Jenna Fischer]

Yeah, Goldface.

[Angela Kinsey]

He's not signing it.

[Jenna Fischer]

Golden face. Is that his name? Golden Face.

[Rainn Wilson]

Golden Face, yeah. I think I could probably talk to his publicist's manager and see about getting a signature.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yeah.

[Rainn Wilson]

What's Going on. What are we talking about? What's happening? What's happening with Office Ladies? It's been a long time since I've been on the show. You guys. Congratulations on the success and everything you're doing and your media empire. It's beautiful.

[Jenna Fischer]

Thank you. Rayne. Last time you were on Office Ladies, it was because I recorded you from the back of my car after we had lunch. So thank you for that.

[Angela Kinsey]

Oh, my gosh.

[Rainn Wilson]

It was about food.

[Jenna Fischer]

It was about food.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yes.

[Jenna Fischer]

Now we're doing something special on Fridays. We do it once a month. It's called Friday Chit Chat.

[Rainn Wilson]

I'm so happy to be here. Although you. You do kind of need a theme song for Friday Chit Chat. Friday Chit Chat. I feel like Ed Helms could write a really good Friday Chit Chat.

[Jenna Fischer]

That would be amazing. We should reach out to Ed.

[Rainn Wilson]

Let's get him on that.

[Jenna Fischer]

Well, here's how it works. We put a call to action to our fans out there who love Office Ladies. And we just said, what do you want us to chit chat about? And they send in suggestions, and we've got a great one this week.

[Rainn Wilson]

Jenna.

[Jenna Fischer]

Yes.

[Rainn Wilson]

Jenna, I hate to break it to you. No one listens to this show.

[Jenna Fischer]

Oh, no, they don't.

[Rainn Wilson]

You don't have fans.

[Jenna Fischer]

Okay.

[Rainn Wilson]

That's AI Bots or something.

[Angela Kinsey]

Known advertisers to Office Ladies.

[Jenna Fischer]

Well, this suggestion rain we do. This suggestion is coming from Jenna F. And Angela K. From Los Angeles.

[Rainn Wilson]

Wow, Jenna. I'd love to hear from Jenna F. And Angela K. Yeah. What do they have to say?

[Angela Kinsey]

And Angela K. Write in a lot. They're big fans. Okay, here is our Chit Chat suggestion of the week. It comes from Audrey W. Audrey says, I've seen posts about which office character would you rather be stuck camping with? So I was wondering, who would you like to be stuck camping with for three days and why?

[Rainn Wilson]

Well, that's a great question. I mean, there's so many different ways you could go.

[Angela Kinsey]

I have a request. I would like us to say which office character we want to be stuck camping with, and then which of us in real life we want to be stuck camping with.

[Rainn Wilson]

I like where you're going with this. I like where you're going. I definitely know which office character would be the most fun. And I'm a little bit biased because immediately, as you read the question, I was like, oh, there's an episode here. And that would be Dwight and Andy camping together or being forced to camp together, and just total opposites on the campground. I don't know if that's what the question was. I just kind of put myself in Dwight's shoes. But I think it would be so much fun because Andy would have, like the perfect tent from like L.L. bean, you know, and his stove and like a solar panel and like a drone that, you know, can bring in food. And he'd have freeze dried ramen and pot stickers and gourmet food. And then Dwight would just have like a loincloth and a knife and like a tent made out of a buffalo hide or something like that. That would be such a good episode, don't you think?

[Angela Kinsey]

It would. And I feel like Andy would make up a campfire song and it's like the whole thing.

[Rainn Wilson]

He'd have brought a travel banjo.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yeah.

[Rainn Wilson]

And he would have a s' mores kit that was like a really high end REI s' mores kit.

[Angela Kinsey]

And tons of sunscreen. He'd have tons of sunscreen that's probably harmful to the environment. Just like spraying it all over for

[Jenna Fischer]

three days, these guys.

[Rainn Wilson]

And he'd have an elevated tent that like the bottom inflated and brought him off the ground. But I think that an episode with Dwight and Andy camping would be. We kind of had that with Survivor man with Dwight and Michael, but Michael. Yeah, I think that would be really fun to watch. The opposites. And then Dwight goes and, you know, kills a fawn.

[Angela Kinsey]

No.

[Rainn Wilson]

With a hunting knife.

[Angela Kinsey]

And like, Andy's puking. He's puking in the woods. I would watch that episode.

[Jenna Fischer]

Would you, as Rainn Wilson, want to go camping with Dwight or Andy?

[Rainn Wilson]

Well, Dwight would definitely be more of an adventure, but since I'm a little bit more of the indoor type, I like some camping sometimes, but I think that Andy would be great. Cause it's just entertainment, technology, comfort. I'm going to go straight up with Andy. Final answer, Andy Bernard. Final answer.

[Angela Kinsey]

Andy on both Dwight and Rain. Yeah. What about you, Ms. Fisher?

[Jenna Fischer]

What about me? I thought about this. I really did. And I thought about who I don't want to go camping with. I don't want to go camping with Dwight. Just too intense. I also think I would not want to go camping with Jim. Doesn't he seem like not a great camper? You know who I think I would want to go camping with is maybe hear me out. Roy. Doesn't Roy seem like he's going to carry a lot of heavy and he's going to put up the tent? Doesn't he say, like, maybe he's a good outdoorsman? I think If a bear came along, he's definitely getting in the middle of me and a bear. Like, I trust that.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yeah. I feel like Roy has gone hunting with his, like, cousins and stuff. Like, has a deer stand somewhere.

[Jenna Fischer]

I mean, the downside is he's probably drinking late into the night. But the other person I was gonna say that I would go camping with is Karen. I think Karen would be super fun to camp with.

[Rainn Wilson]

Oh, interesting. Out of the box.

[Jenna Fischer]

She's smart, she's funny. We would have similar interests. We'd go hiking, but then we would have a little rose by the fire in the evening. I just. I feel like that would be, like, a really good vibe. And finally, my last group of people I would want to go camping with in real life. In real life, Jenna has now gone camping with Roy and Karen. I would also go camping, me and Lee, with Michael and Hollywood. I would go couples camping with Michael. I would. I think they'd be fun. I mean, Michael in his just, like, childlike wonder of the world, I think could be fun to camp with and entertaining. I mean, three days is a long time.

[Angela Kinsey]

I think they would do a lot of voices. Yeah. I think on, like, day two, when they're going, like, I'd like a piece of pecan.

[Jenna Fischer]

You're right.

[Angela Kinsey]

And they're, like, doing all their voices, maybe. Oh, my God, these two. Yeah.

[Rainn Wilson]

Three days is a bit much, but I gotta jump in here. Jenna, I'm so sorry.

[Jenna Fischer]

What is it?

[Rainn Wilson]

Well, first of all, Roy, like, first of all, you have to hang out with Roy for three days.

[Jenna Fischer]

Yeah.

[Rainn Wilson]

What are you gonna talk about with Roy? And number two, you just talked about how Roy would defend you from a bear. You have Rainn Wilson on your show, and you're talking about how Roy would be the best one to defend you from a bear. Are you kidding me?

[Jenna Fischer]

Okay, here's the thing. Come on.

[Rainn Wilson]

I'm offended.

[Jenna Fischer]

I'm deeply offended as someone who will defend me from a bear but also be pleasant to camp with. So I feel like, yes, Dwight will protect me, but am I gonna enjoy the rest of the three days? No. He's gonna have me up at, like, 4:45am on some expedition, some quest. Like, no, Roy is sleeping in. And also, if Roy doesn't talk to me, who cares? I'll read a book. You know what I mean?

[Rainn Wilson]

I think Karen's a good way to go. Cause interesting conversationalist. Pretty chill, but capable.

[Angela Kinsey]

Exactly.

[Jenna Fischer]

She'll help carry stuff from the car.

[Rainn Wilson]

Yep.

[Angela Kinsey]

All right, well, I'm gonna throw something at you Guys.

[Rainn Wilson]

Okay.

[Angela Kinsey]

I would go camping with Joe Bennett.

[Jenna Fischer]

Really?

[Angela Kinsey]

Because I think she goes full glamping, and I don't want to poop in the woods. Okay. I want some type of, like, fashion toilet situation. Dwight is a survivalist. No doubt about it. He can build structure. He can do the things I don't want to wipe with a leaf. You know, I don't want any of that. But I feel like Jo Bennett, she would have a staff that would go ahead of us and set up the tent, and, like, we'd probably have, like, these really nice chairs by the fire. I want to glamp with Joe Bennett. That's what I want to do for three days.

[Rainn Wilson]

She'd probably use her dogs as pack animals.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yes. Or we would ride her dogs. We're not very tall.

[Rainn Wilson]

Yeah, you're small enough. You'd be on one dog. The other dog would be carrying your toilet and your toilet paper, please, so you don't have to use a leaf and a log.

[Angela Kinsey]

I don't want to use a. That sounds horrible. And then in real life, I think Creed Bratton would be a blast to go camping with you guys. He goes fishing with his son. Also, he's obsessed with the TV show alone. He turned me and Josh onto it. Like, we've gone over and watched it with him. So I know that Creed knows how to, like, probably by this point, trap a rabbit, hook a fish, build a shelter. He can definitely fish. He's very good at fishing. And, you know, he would have campfire songs and craz that you wouldn't know. Are these true or not? You know, he can spin a yarn.

[Rainn Wilson]

I think that's a great answer. And Creed is always the best answer. Whenever I go to, like, fan events or something and someone's like, who would you rather blah, blah, blah with? I just throw Creed in there because I give Creed some love, and he's so fascinating. But you're right. You'd have three hours guaranteed entertainment every night at the campfire with Creed. No doubt. Songs, stories, monologues, dances, dances.

[Angela Kinsey]

He also does yoga every day, so he would probably, like, bust out some yoga that we would all do in the morning. And he takes naps. I'm all for a nap. He goes to bed early. I think this is a really good camping partner.

[Jenna Fischer]

Wow. I don't think there's a better answer than Creed in real life.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yeah, he'd be so tickled.

[Rainn Wilson]

Is there, like, a prize for this? Does she win? Does she.

[Angela Kinsey]

Wait, do I win a signed threat level midnight poster by John Cruise? You do.

[Jenna Fischer]

You do. I want to throw something out there. I want to go away from the cast for camping because you've convinced me on Creed, but otherwise, I don't really want to go camping with any actor because I just. I'm sorry.

[Angela Kinsey]

How dare you? How dare you? We would have so much fun.

[Jenna Fischer]

We might. We might, but we're all getting eaten by the bears.

[Angela Kinsey]

Rain, I've always said that Jenna and I should do an Amazing Race because we'd be terrible.

[Rainn Wilson]

I would love to see you guys on an Amazing Race. That's a great idea. For real. You'd be so good.

[Jenna Fischer]

Who is doing the physical challenges? Who's, like, ziplining down the side of the mountain between me and Angela?

[Angela Kinsey]

And I don't like to eat weird things. Rain. If they say one of us has to eat, like, a ostrich egg to win, that's not happening. I can't.

[Rainn Wilson]

Does that happen in Amazing Race?

[Angela Kinsey]

Sometimes.

[Jenna Fischer]

Every once in a while you have to eat, like, a scorpion or something.

[Angela Kinsey]

Are you eating a scorpion? Reign?

[Rainn Wilson]

Yeah, I need a scorpion. I went on Bear Grylls.

[Angela Kinsey]

That's right.

[Rainn Wilson]

Wilderness.

[Jenna Fischer]

What's Bear Grylls? Wilderness?

[Angela Kinsey]

Are you kidding, Juna? It's so good. It's like he's a crazy, amazing, like, survival guy. And Rain went on it, and so did Ed. Oh, you have to watch it. Rain. Did you like it? What was that experience like?

[Rainn Wilson]

I had a blast. But, yeah, Bear Grylls is this survivalist, former, like, UK Marine guy, and he's a great TV host. And it's called Running Wild, I think, is the show. And, yeah, we went out into the Utah wilderness. But the scariest thing about doing it was he strapped me to a helicopter. So when I got picked up by the helicopter, I had to ride on the skids on the outside of the helicopter, and I was chained, and we were zooming 100, 200ft over the trees at like, 50 miles an hour. And I have a fear of heights, and it was brutal. But worse than that, when I got picked up at the end of it, they lowered a winch with a cable, and then they dragged me up into the air. So I was dangling by a hundred feet under a helicopter, and then it took off over the mountains.

[Angela Kinsey]

That was nuts. That was absolutely nuts. I think I might have had a bowel movement of some kind, because that's just what is going through your mind

[Jenna Fischer]

right Then how do you get through that?

[Rainn Wilson]

It goes beyond terror, where you're just like, okay, I guess I'm gonna die. And there's not really anything I can do.

[Angela Kinsey]

I mean, this is how I go out. I guess. This is it.

[Rainn Wilson]

This is it. And you're just flying around and you're just going one breath at a time. And it was absolutely brutal. It was brutal. But we did that. Made the cliff climbing. And I ate rot grubs. And, you know, I did a cold plunge in an alpine lake at, like, dawn and a zip line. That was all cakewalk compared to being strapped to a hel.

[Angela Kinsey]

The grubs thing was so gross. I mean, it's so gross to me. Like, I would have puked.

[Rainn Wilson]

They taste like peanut butter.

[Jenna Fischer]

Really?

[Rainn Wilson]

Yeah. The grubs. Little grubs taste like peanut butter. Yeah.

[Angela Kinsey]

All grubs taste like peanut butter. You've had more than one type of.

[Jenna Fischer]

I take protein forward. Cause I'm really looking to up my protein.

[Rainn Wilson]

You are not eating.

[Angela Kinsey]

Jealous.

[Rainn Wilson]

It's the future. You could have a grub farm. Talk to Creed. I think he. He grows his own. He grows his own rot grubs.

[Angela Kinsey]

He's got a little thing on his pan.

[Jenna Fischer]

I want to something. Maybe the two of you should go on Amazing Race. Not me and.

[Angela Kinsey]

Oh, Rain and Kate.

[Jenna Fischer]

Rain and Angela.

[Angela Kinsey]

What?

[Jenna Fischer]

Angela, why are me and you going on Amazing Race together? When you partner with Rain and he'll eat all the grubs and he'll do all the stunts.

[Angela Kinsey]

What am I reading?

[Jenna Fischer]

You're reading the map. And you're, like, keeping things positive.

[Rainn Wilson]

Look good, babe.

[Angela Kinsey]

Oh, thanks, babe.

[Rainn Wilson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Angela Kinsey]

Wow.

[Jenna Fischer]

Let's be a good team. You would. It would be very entertaining.

[Angela Kinsey]

It'd be such a hot mess. Rain would call me like a cousin, and we'd run out of Diet Coke.

[Rainn Wilson]

What if the accountants went on the Amazing Race?

[Jenna Fischer]

What if we all teamed up with our love interest and we competed against each other? So you've got Steve and Amy. Got the two of you. Me and John team up. Who else have we got? Mindy and bj.

[Rainn Wilson]

We got Oscar and the Senator.

[Angela Kinsey]

Oscar and the Senator. Yes.

[Jenna Fischer]

Maybe Craig and David Denman could be a team.

[Angela Kinsey]

Wait, what about Hunter and Jan?

[Jenna Fischer]

Hunter and Melora. There we go. You guys. That would kill somebody. Call cbs.

[Angela Kinsey]

Mm. Phyllis and Bob Vance.

[Jenna Fischer]

Yeah. There you go.

[Rainn Wilson]

That's so good.

[Jenna Fischer]

It would be amazing.

[Angela Kinsey]

That would get really good ratings. At least for the first one.

[Jenna Fischer]

You guys, I never got a chance to say who I would go camping with in real. Who isn't a cast member. And I want to say, and I think you're going to agree with me, that it's Randall Einhorn. Our dp. Yeah. And beloved director.

[Rainn Wilson]

Our DP and frequent director who was a whitewater rafting enthusiast and has traveled the world and hiked the outback. He started on Survivor. In fact, our camera crew, you know, frequent office lady listeners are going to know this, but Matt and Randall are frequent directors, and DPs started on Survivor because Greg wanted that immediacy of the cameras capturing the reality of the workers and wanted that look and feel, and they ended up being just so integral to the look and feel of the show. But Randall, slam dunk.

[Jenna Fischer]

Thank you, Randall.

[Angela Kinsey]

Slam dunk. Also, Matt Sohn, he hikes like crazy. And he was also, like, you know, super outdoorsy camera guy. He's sinewy. I bet he can, like, get into.

[Rainn Wilson]

He's sinewy, isn't.

[Angela Kinsey]

You know, like, he can climb things. And I. One time he invited me to go for a hike. This was years ago. And I was like, I'm so tired. I don't know. And then he was hiking. He had his kid, like, it was like, toddler size, like, in a. One of those backpacks that the kid.

[Jenna Fischer]

Yeah, we used to do that.

[Angela Kinsey]

And I was like, yeah, I'm the one being like, I'm kind of tired. And he's, like, carrying another person on the hike.

[Rainn Wilson]

He should have put you in the backpack, just like Dwight and Angela, your American Doll size. That's what we do in Amazing Race is we have, like, a kid's backpack, and I carry you the entirety of the interview.

[Angela Kinsey]

That's it. And I, like, have, like, water with a long straw that I, like, feed you as we go.

[Rainn Wilson]

Yeah, Camelback. Yeah.

[Angela Kinsey]

Perfect. Yeah.

[Rainn Wilson]

I think you just urinate into a satchel, kind of like in Dune, and then the urine is processed into water, and that's what I drink.

[Jenna Fischer]

I'm essentially drinking recyclable, you guys. That's amazing. So smart. You never have to rest.

[Rainn Wilson]

Just like in Dune. I bet you guys haven't even seen Dune, have you?

[Angela Kinsey]

Of course I have. Are you crazy? I have. I have.

[Rainn Wilson]

Jenna hasn't.

[Angela Kinsey]

Dune is so good. John. Is it? It's so good.

[Rainn Wilson]

Dune 2 is even better. No, they're so good.

[Angela Kinsey]

Dune 2 was fantastic.

[Jenna Fischer]

It was. I tried to watch it, and it was like 20 minutes of just. It was just so slow moving in sand, and I didn't understand anything.

[Angela Kinsey]

Oh, my God.

[Jenna Fischer]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Rainn Wilson]

Who was the woman who hosted the Golden Globes? Nikki Glazier.

[Angela Kinsey]

Yeah.

[Rainn Wilson]

Did you see her monologue?

[Angela Kinsey]

Did she not like the say the same thing.

[Rainn Wilson]

Oh, my God, her monologue is so funny. When you're done with this, go watch Nikki Glaser's monologue. It is so funny. It's.

[Angela Kinsey]

Does she go off on Doom Run?

[Rainn Wilson]

But she goes like, hans Zimmer is here. Congratulations, Hans Zimmer. Cause he did the soundtrack track up to Dune. And she's like, my favorite song of yours is the one that goes.

[Jenna Fischer]

She's very funny.

[Rainn Wilson]

Everyone would giggle.

[Angela Kinsey]

Oh, man.

[Rainn Wilson]

Get her on Office Ladies.

[Jenna Fischer]

We should. Yeah.

[Angela Kinsey]

Nikki, come on. All right, so everyone, we're gonna watch Rain's bear Grylls and Eds. And now we're gonna watch Nikki's opening

[Rainn Wilson]

for the Gold Globes and Dune one and two. And why not watch Rain's new movie that's out on hulu called Code 3.

[Angela Kinsey]

Code 3.

[Jenna Fischer]

Okay. I've seen Rain's new movie, Code 3, and it's excellent, Rain. It's truly excellent. And you're so good in it. It's so funny. But it's more than funny. And here's my pitch. If you like the TV show the Pit, this is the paramedic version of the Pit, but also funnier.

[Rainn Wilson]

Yeah.

[Jenna Fischer]

So it's like, comedic the Pit, but paramedics.

[Angela Kinsey]

That is a great pitch, Jenna. I wanna watch that. Rain. I'm sorry. It's in my queue. I'm sorry.

[Jenna Fischer]

It's a whole day. It's like one shift. One long shift as a paramedic. Your character's last shift. You're gonna get out of the paramedic life, and I won't say anymore.

[Rainn Wilson]

And I'm training a new wiki paramedic on my last shift.

[Jenna Fischer]

Who is great. Who is that actress? She's great. Terrific.

[Rainn Wilson]

Amy Carrero.

[Jenna Fischer]

The whole cast is great.

[Rainn Wilson]

Lil Rel Howery, Rob Riggle. There's an office connection. Rob Riggle, Captain. What's his name? Captain Bob.

[Jenna Fischer]

Captain Bob.

[Angela Kinsey]

Captain Jack. Captain Jack.

[Rainn Wilson]

Captain Jack.

[Jenna Fischer]

Rob Riggle plays a really holy doctor in the emergency room.

[Rainn Wilson]

Yeah.

[Angela Kinsey]

Okay. Well, everybody go see Code Three. Folks are loving it. And, Rain, thank you so much for being on Friday. Chitchat with us.
