Chapter 2: How did the idea for Office Ladies originate?
Jenna Fisher. Angela Kinsey. We have a big episode today. Office Ladies, you guys, has hit a huge milestone this month, and we're going to do a whole episode to celebrate it. We want to celebrate it with you guys. Jenna, tell them what's happening.
We just hit over 500 million downloads.
Ah!
For Office Ladies Podcast. Yeah.
Chapter 3: What challenges did Jenna and Angela face when starting the podcast?
500 million. Yeah. Over. Over. We'd been tracking it, lady, and all of a sudden, when we went back to see where we were, we were actually at 501 million. I know. We missed it by a whole million. I know. You brought in balloons that spell out... 500 million. You told me you were going to do this. I said, lady, is it necessary? You said, quote, I feel very strongly about this.
You said it in a tone. I did. That you were like, I am not f***ing around.
This is a big number. Yeah. Yeah. Balloons, it is.
Chapter 4: What special recording do Jenna and Angela share from the original pilot?
Well, balloons, damn it. And here's the thing I didn't realize when I ordered them is that we had to blow them up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It feels like when you've hit 500 million downloads, someone else blows up your balloons.
No, as it turns out, no, you do it over a week at home with your husband. Thank you, Josh. You also brought in a treat. I did. We have a cake because you guys on Office Ladies, we celebrate everything with cake.

Chapter 5: How did Office Ladies impact the podcasting community?
We have a cake. Guess what, guys? It didn't have space for the word million. It says 500. Great. 500 what?
They don't know when they made it. They didn't know.
They don't know. I think basically it's like Jim and Dwight planned our 500 million download plan. Party, because we have some sad balloons. We have a sad cake. But we have lots of happiness in our heart, you guys. Yes. And I got you something. You got me something? I did. And me. I got us matching gifts. What is it?
Chapter 6: What memories do Jenna and Angela reflect on from their time on The Office?
This is very on brand for me. Because over the years, I've gotten us many matching gifts.
This is true.
You're probably never going to wear this.
It's something I wear.
Yeah. I got so dialed in to this number 500 million. Are you crazy? That's nuts.
What is it? Is it? It's a gold necklace. Oh, I was afraid it was a shirt that said 500 million.
No, I thought about a hoodie. I didn't do it. I got us each a necklace. Look, it's gold plated. And then the number 500 is going to hang around your neck.
Let me see this. Let me see this.

Chapter 7: What insights do they share about the production process of The Office?
I love it.
And you know what? I purposely didn't put the million because, like, kind of like with the cake, if you know, you know. If you know, you know. And there's going to be some school assembly, Jenna. You're going to be sitting there, and someone's going to be like, 500, huh? And you're going to be like, uh-huh, that's right. 500. 500. And I would work 500 miles. I've had that song stuck in my head.
And I try to think of a way to like make it into downloads. You almost did a song parody as well. I did. I gave up on that really quick.
Well, thank you for not giving up on these other celebratory items. I appreciate them very much. You're welcome. Truly. I'm saying that sincerely.
Chapter 8: What heartfelt messages do fans send to celebrate 500 million downloads?
You're welcome. Sam, there's cake.
Great. I look forward to it.
Congratulations. Congratulations. Well, you know, hitting this milestone has made us both really reflective on how it all began.
Yes. And there is a question that we have gotten a lot over the years that we've always wanted to answer. And this week seemed like finally the perfect timing. A lot of people have written in and asked how we started Office Ladies.
Yes, here's a letter from Rachel W. in Washington, D.C. Rachel says, I'm very interested in hearing more about your thought and decision-making process that led to Office Ladies. I just had my first baby and want to figure out a way to have a better balance between work and spending time with my family, but it feels like there are so few options between full-time work or full-time at home.
I love how you ladies figured out how to make work fit into your ideal work-life balance, and I want to hear more about it. And another letter from Paula M. in Monterrey, Mexico. Paula says, I recently got fired from a job I hated. I've been working in the same industry for 15 plus years and I want to try something new. How did you guys find your ideal job?
Well, Rachel and Paula, we actually have a great story about how this podcast started. And the reasons touch on some of the same themes that you mentioned in your letters about wanting to find work-life balance and also wanting to try something new. And Angela and I have shared a little bit about how podcasting came into our lives. And we do write about it in our book, The Office BFFs.
But I would think that the main driving factor, and tell me if you agree with me here, Ann. Okay. But the main driving factor of how we got here is simply that we always wanted to work together again. ever since we wrapped the office, we've daydreamed about working together again.
Yeah. And I think we always assumed it would be an on-camera job, like maybe we would host a game show or be in a TV show together again. And we talk about this all the time. And then about seven years ago, we were trading messages about how we wanted to organize our our garages and sheds. Sometimes you need a buddy to get this stuff done, right?
