Hello, everybody. Hi there! So I am still in Chicago. I'm still doing my play, and I'm going to be here a little bit longer because we just found out that my play, Ashland Avenue, has been extended again to October 19th. So if you haven't had a chance to see it, please come see it.

Oh, it's crazy. I've had the best time. It has been such a joy to watch you on this journey,

lady. Oh my gosh. I can't believe it. Every night I go out there and, you know, sometimes we have

two shows a day. I just can't wait to do these scenes.

I just love them. It's like I look forward to each scene for a different reason. There's like some moment that one of the other actors, I can't wait to watch them do it.

Isn't that so fun to just get to watch and marvel at your co-stars like moment?

Yes. Oh my gosh. The actor who plays my dad, Fran Geinen, I am constantly marveling at him. I just, you know, the other woman in the play with me, her name is Cordelia Dudney, and she is so good. And we only get one scene together. It's only like three pages. It's short, but it's so good. It's, oh, I look forward to it every night. I can't wait. As soon as she walks in the door, I'm like, yes, here we go. Here we go. Yes. Also, you saw the show. You saw how funny Cheekey Johnson is. He plays my husband, Mike, in the play. Can you believe that before this play, he said he doesn't, he doesn't really do comedies. He does dramas, mostly dramas. I was like, what? What? No, wait, he's so hilarious in the play. He is so funny. He gets the biggest laughs in the play. And we have this really funny scene together. I look forward to it every night. It's an act too. I love it so much. I loved all of your scenes together. You guys have such fun chemistry. And I cannot believe he doesn't normally do comedies. He's so funny. And Angela, we didn't talk about this on our Friday chit-chat a while back.

Will Allen, who's another actor in the play, he is an office trivia champion.

We have to have him on the podcast lady.

Yeah, you know, I met him when I came to see your play, and he told me he paid his rent by winning office trivia quizzes. Yes, during the pandemic.

That's right. And his team, they won the national online competition twice. And they're like the

number one team in Chicago. Do you know what their name is? It's an office deep cut. What is it?

I'm guessing. Is it? Is it an office reference? It is.

What is it? Who's your worm guy? Oh, nice. It's a creed line. That's perfect. That's pretty great, right? Oh, that's so great. Well, lady, while you're doing your play, I'm gearing up for my cookbook tour. Oh my gosh, you're leaving so soon. It's happening. It's happening. We got the book. We got to hold it. It's beautiful. I'm so proud of it. And I can't wait to meet people and just, you know, get our cookbook out in the world. You're going out to sign cookbooks. Tell people where you're going. You're going to three cities, right? We're going to three cities so far. and I'll put all this in our stories, but we are going to New Jersey. We're going to Dallas, and we are going to Santa Monica. And also, we're going to be in New York. We're going to be doing a little fun pop-up things in New York City, like the Today Show, the Sherry Show. I think we're doing some man-on-the-street stuff. Lady, I have no idea. I know in New York.

You and Josh running around? Yeah. I mean, it's going to be an adventure for sure. But the book is great and I can't wait for people to get it.

You know what I just realized? This is the year that we both got to bring projects to the world with our husbands.

Yeah. How cool is that? Really cool, really cool. And so special. It's really special, right?

Because it's like, here's the love of your life and now you made something together and you're putting it out in the world.

You have like this creative thing that you created together. It's so cool. Yeah. You know, lady, New Year's Rev premiered at the Toronto

Film Festival. I know. And it's, oh, huge, amazing reception. Like, people love this movie. People love it.

I can't wait until we can announce when this movie is coming out because people love it. I just saw a critic, like a little blurb, and I'm going to paraphrase this, but they had seen the movie. And they said something like Green Day has made the next big teen or great teen movie, something like that. I mean, it's amazing. I'm so proud to be in it. It's so cool.

Oh my gosh. Listen to us. Okay. Okay. Sorry. Everybody. We're excited about the stuff we're doing. And that's great, right? It's good to be excited about the stuff you're doing in life, I think, especially if you're an artist. That's what we do. Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, we're also behind the scenes working on new episodes for office
