"The Office Made Me Unhappy" - Actor Rainn Wilson On His Time On The Office 

US all day

UK any day & twice on sundays. It is THE DEFINITIVE version of The Office.

Fantastic interview. Please do your headphone-wearing listeners a favor and roll off the low end bass under 50-80hz. Every time his finger taps the table it sounds like he's playing the drums of war during a thunderstorm.

Always sunny

as a UK person, I liked the UK version but the US version is just miles better (after season 1)

lol just say you don’t have a sense of humour. Waste of time to binge watch it but re watch the series? 😂😂😂 all two episodes I watched was just cringe af

I rewatched it back when they put it on Comedy Central 7 years ago. And I had forgotten how hilarious it is and how cozy it is. I spent a lot of time on the road and I always threw it on Comedy Central so I could rewatch this great show with these great characters. (Unless it’s the last season 🤮🤮).

Dwight K Shrute MADE the office

Lol yeah he's a softie, definitely not a Schrute.

@@Jay-eo3wl - Some of us had REALLY bad childhoods and when we find happiness, it's later in life.

@@Jay-eo3wl - Knowing what, you're gonna die? Do you understand that a bad childhood can be the same way...except you have to navigate those emotions without guidance and worldly knowledge

Why does it have to be one extreme or another? How about admitting that money IS life changing for many people.

I never met a stable and happy poor person either

You could sub in anything for wealth and this statement is true. No one thing is gonna be the sole source of happiness. I will say tho, it's much easier to be happy with options and wealth gives you that.

he's one of the top 10 world podcasters (well the list moves but he's always in the area)

The unfortunate thing is that financial success does indeed being happiness, it isn't an absolute necessity but there are three options in this world: Work an average job and find inner peace and balance, live for yourself and forego all materialism to find joy, or (here's the financial success part) be very successful to the point where you never have to work a day in your life again and have all of the time and money to do the things that make you happy. Yes, money doesn't bring happiness in itself, but affording the time and having the ability to spend it on what makes you happy absolutely does.

@@vooligan9499 I absolutely agree and the caveat is finding that “right” thing and purpose. If tomorrow you wake up with infinity in your bank balance. How do you know what makes you happy? A good interview is one from Dana White. He said he has all the money in the world and can retire. However, sitting on an island sipping pina coladas gets boring real fast. What he love is running the UFC.

Lol. He's getting there

I’m happy and fulfilled and couldn’t give two SH!ts about “god”

*assistant to the regional manager

Find Jesus

Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking “hang on” …!

How much income do you have when you start a business. Isn’t it something like “don’t expect to profit for two years” or something? Most of the time building something isn’t the profitable part, ask game devs. You do what you need to survive. Multi million dollar grocery company’s are going to be 👍

@@littledog7961 I know plenty of people who are poor and some are still living in 3rd world countries... They don't steal.

@@MysteryGameGeEk3000 Good for them. They’re forced to starve because there is capital punishment and no giant chain grocery stores in those countries. What’s your point? If you had a child and died, would you be okay with your child starving as long as they didn’t steal?

gonna cancel the dude for shoplifting now? who gives a mad fuk lmao. there are celebs getting away with hurting kids.

Thank you for watching.

Yeah but it makes him "miserable" lol. He is one of those actors I wish I never seen do an interview. I instantly thought he's a douche

Pep guardiola sends his condolences

He would be a great fit if they ever made a movie

No it’s not

Capitalism also gives you a choice how to live. Have a little self accountability…

@@douglaskelley4486 Not saying it doesn’t. Thus, you can choose not to want the next best thing, and be happy with as little material possessions as possible. That’s a choice. I’m just arguing that the larger forces (companies) are much more interested in trying to get you to want more, because a consumer that decides to spend less isn’t in their best interest. So just advising to not fall into that trap of always wanting more.

The government does that much more than any company can.

That’s a bunch of baloney

Thought the same!

Do you think being rich makes you happy?

@@Kai-worldclass not at all I just didn't expect being rich to make you sad

@@freegame8628 People will be sad regardless of their financial status

It really is

I never even saw the UK office, how about that?

@@VCRider that's not nearly as bad as seeing it and thinking the US is better. Lol

I'd agree...but then you see all the American versions of popular British shows 😂 If you've never watched the peep show, I suggest you do. Then watch the American version 😂

@@skindred1888 I remember Red Dwarf was a bit of a disaster 🤦‍♂️

@@BillyMcMorran a big part of the peep shows humour, is that it's filmed in pov, with added commentary to show what theyre thinking... American version didn't even do that 😂

Ok dude lol

I like both a lot, they're very different shows

??

He was actually cool back then though, its only since then that he got annoying. Also worth watching for steve merchants input🙏

You don’t think advertising works on a majority of adults? Apple? Tesla? Heinz? McDonald’s?

I think there is undoubtedly a cultural / societal component to all of this; after all, we (collectively) love celebrating people like actors, singers, etc., which I feel almost inherently establishes an “us and them” dynamic that makes it easier for people to see themselves as unsuccessful or less than if they haven’t achieved a certain level of success or don’t have a certain amount of popularity. As the person above me touched on, I think advertisements have a subtle but more pernicious influence than we might realize, subconsciously suggesting to us that this new phone or this fancy car or these amazing vacations are things we should value and be actively strive to acquire. That said, I do think there is an element of “self” here, to your point. It’s essentially peer pressure. Like my mom has said to me, peer pressure doesn’t look like the kids in high school or college forcing you to have a drink or mocking you when you don’t take the cigarette or blunt they offer you. It’s an internalized desire to fit in or appear likable and a fear of what happens when you don’t fit in or aren’t likable. I think there are similar thought processes at work here. How many of us are externally motivated, guided by principles and factors outside of ourselves, just because we’re told to or feel we should? How many of us do things or act a certain way simply because many other people do? I think many people just haven’t looked inward often enough or long enough to work out what it is we really want and by what means / path we’re going to get there, whether it’s because we haven’t practiced it enough, aren’t aware of our own agency, or because we’re so overstimulated by outside noise that we don’t have the chance to. Sorry for the long-winded tangent. There’s a chance my response is totally unrelated to what you’re saying. I kind of just followed my train of thought and went wherever it led me, lol.

You lack basic awareness of social trends

Having a life that looks good from the outside is all that 99% of people want. That's what they work for, not anything they actually want. That would take awareness, and it's easier to live as "loyal plastic robots in a world that doesn't care."

I actually appreciate the honesty of this question, despite the extremely uninformed premises. You can answer this question for yourself by starting with your ridiculously inaccurate statement that advertisement only works on children. As a person who spent 7 years in marketing, I can tell you that people like you make for some of our easiest marks actually. If you ask literally ANYONE they'll tell you advertisements don't work on them, dude. 😂😂 First, educate yourself on how the subconscious/power of suggestion works. And then objectively pay attention to the subliminal messaging of practically every advertisement you come across or search for the next month. You will literally be unable to see and and will wonder how you could've been so blind lol.

Lol

Amen!

​@@BeastLordofMetalhe's right boy.

@@RafaelGarcia-jb3me lol

Yep

Did you not listen?? He said he was there, and had no money.

The problem isnt that you have or dont have money, or that your famous or not, its your mindset. Your comment screams insecurity. (Which i have too). Limiting beliefs and thoughts hold us back from being our best selves. The good news for you is that you can become your best self at any time, place, social status etc. Some old proverb goes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best is now. Good luck.

​@@brandonhall9959really good comment!

He was on Epsteins Island and you guys care about this pedo hahahaha

weird flex...

lol what

Ah yes that thing that lasted 14 episodes

They are both good … but the US version is sooooo much better
