Grab your life preservers, everyone. Get ready to set sail. Today, we are taking a second drink of Booze Cruise.
This was such a fun breakdown. Do you remember, Jenna, we had Greg Daniels in the studio with us for the whole thing? Yes. He was so excited, remember? He was like, I have a time code. Yes, yes. And it was his first time being on Office Ladies.
It was very special. And I felt like we covered this episode so well. We also wrote an entire chapter about it in our book, Office BFFs, with tons of behind-the-scenes pictures that we took. But I did find a couple of things that we could mention here.
Okay.
First off, we talked about Mindy's play, Matt and Ben, that she did with her friend, Brenda Withers, who appears in this episode. This is what got Mindy discovered. And we got this comment from Christine A., who said, "'Googled Matt and Ben, Mindy Kaling, and the full show comes up on YouTube. Questionable legality, but it's there.'" So if you wanted to follow up and watch it, there you go.
It's very grainy. But I also found a paperback version of the play on Amazon, Angela. Yes, it's been published, and it has 4.7 stars out of 5. That's very highly rated. Very highly rated. I think, you know, if you're an aspiring writer, maybe reading it would be like a good research or something.
Mm-hmm. Well, another thing we talked a lot about was the Jim and Pam 27 seconds of silence. Yes. We recently got a letter from Caio from Brazil. Caio, I hope I'm saying your name correctly.
They write, the 27 seconds of silence in Booze Cruise may hold the record for the longest moment of silence in a comedy, but I was just watching the West Wing episode from season seven called Here Today, and I think that might take the cake.
When Tony confesses to CJ that he leaked the space shuttle story, there is a whopping 56.9 seconds of silence between when CJ says they can't talk until the counsel's office shows up and when the lawyer finally does talk. Almost a full minute.
