00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.200
Wait, who is this, please? Rain Wilson the actor. Now I

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:09.800
would have assumed, sir, that
people would be like, hello, is

3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.800
this Renee. We have mister rain
Wilson on the line. We're gonna patch

4
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.440
you through. But you just call
yourself. That's very nice. I do

5
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.160
it myself. I'm old school.
Yeah, it's so nice to chat with

6
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.559
you. Listen, I'm gonna we're
obviously going to talk about your incredible show

7
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.600
that's gonna be at the toyto Oakdale
Theater tomorrow night. Uh May. But

8
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.079
I met you on a couple of
occasions when I used to do junkets,

9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.679
and one of them was for of
course I don't remember, know the Uma

10
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.359
Thurman and my super ex the girlfriend
though, oh yeah, oh my god,

11
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.600
that's a long time ago, I
know. And I got a chance

12
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.640
to sit in a room with you
and chat with you and do and it

13
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.079
was just and you were so lovely
and so unassuming and just like one of

14
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.479
the decent I get to meet a
lot of people. I'm very blessed in

15
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.119
my career, but you're just,
if I may say, from the times

16
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.039
that I've met you and seen you
and other internet, you're just such a

17
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.920
genuine, decent human being. It's
just nice to have you back on the

18
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.920
line. That's very kind. Thanks, but save all the compliments for live

19
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.519
on the air please. Oh all
right in three two one, ladies and

20
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:18.079
gentlemen, Rain Wilson, Oh my
gosh, listen, it's a live conversation

21
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.959
that you're going to be having at
the toy to Oakdale Theater. A plus

22
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.200
A screening of the Office is going
to be Wednesday, May eighth. I'll

23
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.920
have all the links and everything up
for that. But what inspired this tour

24
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:34.560
that you're doing. Well, you
know, just really demand. You know,

25
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.280
wherever I go, people are just
want more office stuff. There's now

26
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:44.959
office conventions around the country and office
meetups and stuff like that, and so

27
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.120
we thought it would be a good
idea to try a screening. I mean,

28
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.959
we've already sold more than a thousand
tickets. It's going to be a

29
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.319
huge crowd. There's stuff for sale, there's gonna be a Dwight lookalike contest,

30
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.680
there's going to be a Q and
a section the IP experience, and

31
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.039
you know, just office fans are
rabbit and just want to give them more

32
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.080
office experiences. I can't tell you
I'm not one of those. I'm not

33
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.560
very good at quoting movie quotes,
some of them like the I guess maybe

34
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.560
the Bigger Ones or whatever my husband
is and I don't know anyway, but

35
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:23.479
I am able to quote Office The
Office, because I just loved that show

36
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.879
and I think it resonates even today. Let me hear some quotes. What

37
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.800
are your favorite quotes? Oh,
don't ask me now, Like I don't

38
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.599
even know. I don't even I
can't right now now, I fail hashtag

39
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.479
hashtag fail fail, immediately fail,
immediately fail. No, I'm not.

40
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.400
I can't. Like I just it
has to be like in the moment,

41
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:46.120
or I'll remember, like a situation, or like the jokes that Jim did

42
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.840
to to Duy. It's just like, I don't even know. I can't.

43
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.680
I can't play. I'm not good
at these kinds. Again. I

44
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.439
suck at drinking games. I suck
when I get put. I'm a DJ

45
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.039
for thirty five years. Don't even
ask me a song right now. I

46
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.360
can't. I can't work under pressure. But I'm telling you I love.

47
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:07.439
What is a Bruce Springsteen song about
a moving body of water? The Tunnel

48
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.240
of Love? No, it's the
river. Well, besides the Riveride,

49
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.919
and also I work on the river. Do you see how I'm not good?

50
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.199
I'm not good. Yeah, I'm
sucked, really bad. It's really

51
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.199
bad. But I'm a fan of
yours, so you should be nice to

52
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.879
me. So now listen, Okay, I will throw it back to one

53
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.879
of my favorite movies on the planet
that you were in though, and I

54
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.080
don't even know. I bet you
I would. I don't. Well,

55
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.639
I'm sure people would bring this up
to you, but you probably wouldn't see

56
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:37.000
this coming. But I love Rob
Zombie so much, and the fact that

57
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.360
you're in House of a Thousand Corpses
and that I know this information and retain

58
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:45.840
it is amazing. That was my
third movie I did. I came to

59
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.479
LA I did Almost Famous and Galaxy
Quest, and I played small parts in

60
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.840
those movies, and then I got
a lead in this crazy horror film House

61
00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:00.560
of a Thousand Corpses, and uh
somehow I did auditioned and lucked into it

62
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.000
and Rob and we got along.
And you know, that movie lives on

63
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.400
just like the Office does. Some
thousand Corpses fans are are just as rabid

64
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:14.360
as Office fans. I that movie
I'll never forget. I made a friend

65
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.439
go with me to the theater,
and then they looked at me differently afterwards.

66
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.360
I'm like, but I love from
Safie. I love this movie.

67
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.800
So it was it was awesome.
Right now, are you allowed to say

68
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.319
what episode of the Office you're going
to play? Is it going to be

69
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.680
snippets? Is it going to be
an entire episode? Could just sort of

70
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.560
run our audience down the way it's
going to go? I was, I

71
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.720
was so afraid you were going to
ask me that. I can't. Okay,

72
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.319
I forget the name. I forget. Oh wait a minute, Wait

73
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:46.839
a minute, sir, Are the
tables now turned? Are there? Are

74
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.720
there? Are that because of me? See? Because now you're married?

75
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.560
Hold on, no, you're looking
it up. I don't. I'm out

76
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.279
of the office. Hold on,
stop talking for a second. I know

77
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:05.040
it's hard talking about one. Checkon. You have to stop decaffeinate yourself.

78
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.240
I just quoted the Office. I
said, Oh, how the turntables?

79
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.399
I know? This is fantastic.
All right, we're screaming Season four,

80
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:21.439
episode five, launch party, in
which Dwight tries to sell more paper in

81
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:28.000
one day than the company's new website. That is the episode. There's it's

82
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:33.120
going to be q and a behind
the scenes stuff. VIP tickets are available

83
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.439
for a post show photo op.
I don't know how much those are,

84
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:43.160
but you can. You can find
the tickets on Live Nation Toyota Oakdale Theater

85
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.680
tomorrow night, seven thirty. I
want to see you Connecticut and Renee Dino.

86
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.839
I know there, oh you know
listen. I love inside jokes.

87
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.560
I just still I definitely see what
it's a quote. Never mind, that

88
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.040
was pretty good. Thank you for
good But first and foremost so too,

89
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.360
I do want to talk quickly because
I know we don't have a lot of

90
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.680
time and we have to wrap up
because I know you're doing interviews and things

91
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.600
like that. But I do want
people to go out and see this.

92
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.639
But I also want to give you
an opportunity because you your career is more

93
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.839
than the office. I mean,
you've really never stopped working, and I

94
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.600
love that you can reinvent yourself just
a little bit. And may I say

95
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:21.279
you with like a beard and like
a lot of hair around your face look

96
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:26.800
like a serial killer in a good
way and a very different person. Because

97
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.720
it's like one of these times were
I forgot we were watching my husband and

98
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:30.240
I and I was like I think
that's Rain Wilson. He's like, that's

99
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.199
not Rain Wilson. I'm like,
I think it is. We had to

100
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.160
like google you and like, oh
my god, that's Rain Wilson. So

101
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:41.279
like you could you could rob banks
and not get recognized. I feel so

102
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.439
you've already compared me to a serial
killer and a bank robber. I love

103
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.920
that because that's what I aspire to. I do apologize. You know,

104
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.560
listen, listen, Renee, Listen, Connecticut, listen to the River.

105
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.560
I'm just an actor. I was
in New York City for ten years doing

106
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.240
theater before I did The Office.
I did dozens of roles before I played

107
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:10.240
Dwight. I've done a good dozen
or two roles since playing Dwight. And

108
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.920
I'm just an actor. This is
the one role that kind of took off.

109
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.839
But you know, there's been lots
of other stuff that I get to

110
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.399
do, and I'm just so grateful. I mean, if you get a

111
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:26.399
career in doing something that you love, like you having a radio show and

112
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:32.560
being able to babble incessively, thank
you. I deserve that. Then you

113
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.519
know we've made it right. So
yeah, I've got a new movie coming

114
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.720
out next month. Actually, with
Robert de Niro. It's called Ezra and

115
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.240
it's about an autistic kid on a
road trip with Bobby Cannabali, a great

116
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:54.920
actor, and it's a fantastic movie. It's heartbreaking and funny and moving.

117
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.959
And I'm really excited to be a
part of that. And I've got a

118
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.560
new book sold Boom that came out
about spirituality. I've got a new soul

119
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.040
Boom podcast you can check out that
follow that podcast to have the probing,

120
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.000
meaningful conversations about the human experience.
I got a lot of I've got a

121
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.600
lot of irons in the fire,
and someday maybe I'll turn into an actual

122
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.720
serial killer or bank Robert, all
right, Well that when you say it

123
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.199
like that, I hear what you
mean. It sounds wrong. I just

124
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.000
meant as an actor. That's probably
you know that. I feel like this

125
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:35.279
is terribly but I am a huge
fan and I do want people to go

126
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.639
and see you, and I hope
that if I go there tomorrow and see

127
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.840
this, that I'll get to shake
your hand because we are huge fans.

128
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.000
And of course I want to make
sure people know that all the links and

129
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:46.000
everything, you can still get tickets. You can even walk up day of

130
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.799
show tomorrow to the Toyta Oakdale Theater. This is going to be a fun,

131
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.480
fun night. A live conversation with
Rain Wilson, of course, the

132
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.600
screening of the Office and Ray.
Thank you for joining me. I really

so nice talking with you, and I
