Office Ladies is officially underway.
Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey have started spillingThe Officetea (or shouldwe say chili?)
on their new podcast.

Michael is given the news early on that he may have to cut some staff.
Then Kevin hits her with a straight-faced line: “Yeah, it’s going to be you.”
“Do you want to point out what you noticed about this scene, about Kevin?”
Fischer asks her cohost on the podcast.
“Brian, I want to call you about this,” Kinsey says.
“Brian doesn’t sound like the Kevin voice.”
To be fair, a lot changed between the pilot and the rest of season 1.
Kinsey and Fischer even mention the first episode was shot six months before the rest of the season.
For example, Meredith (Kate Flannery) is played by a completely different person in the pilot.
The first podcast episode is chock-full of juicy tidbits about the early days of the show.
“It was a big milestone for me.
I really wondered if I should invite any of you guys.
And I didn’t.
I didn’t because, well, I’m probably never going to see them again.”
Don’t worry, Kinsey is bringing back the Party Planning Committee for Fischer to make up for it.
“I only had three lines in the episode.
Otherwise I was just background, basically, for that pilot.
So he asked me If I would pass out papers.
I had just sort of made up that my character had found a cat in the parking lot.”
Sprinkles enjoyed a mighty run on the show until season 4.
I’m sure Bandit lived in your honor.
“My hair down.
I was told to look not-too-fancy, so I didn’t too much with my hair and makeup.
I went in and did the scene for a room for a people, the producers.
When I called him a jerk, everyone started to laugh.
I thought, I did something wrong.
I don’t think they’re supposed to laugh at that moment.'”
