Speaker 1: First of all, you don't know me. Were all about
Speaker 1: that high school drama, Girl Drama Girl, all about them
Speaker 1: high school queens. We'll take you for a ride in
Speaker 1: our comic girl sharing for the drama Queen's Girl Fashion.
Speaker 1: But you'll tough, girl. You could sit with us Girl
Speaker 1: Drama Queens, John Queen's John mc queen's Drama John McQueen's
Speaker 1: Drama Queens. Oh, I'm excited. We have another Q and
Speaker 1: A for our pals listening at home or on your
Speaker 1: commute or whatever you're doing. Our our third little sister
Speaker 1: Joy is actually picking up sweet Maria from camp, and
Speaker 1: so she's commuting and the two of us are gonna
Speaker 1: answer some questions. Are you ready? I'm ready for I'm
Speaker 1: always ready. I really like kind of getting this feedback
Speaker 1: from the fans because I don't know. When I think
Speaker 1: back on our years of doing the show, I just
Speaker 1: think about three things. It's usually like blue post and
Speaker 1: and staying up late and hanging out in that trick
Speaker 1: parking lot. So these guys jog a lot of memories.
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. What I also like about getting questions
Speaker 1: from you all at home is that we don't realize
Speaker 1: what seems obvious to us, Like we know so much
Speaker 1: that we forget what we know, and so sometimes we
Speaker 1: just assume, you know, that that something is obvious or
Speaker 1: that it's a you know, maybe it was on the show,
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't. We can't remember. Weirdly, we remember everything
Speaker 1: and nothing. And so the questions that you the questions
Speaker 1: you guys sent us, like, for me, they really illuminate
Speaker 1: where the gaps are. Yeah, well here's a big, huge,
Speaker 1: no dub question. Brittany wants to know. Do you know
Speaker 1: why Karen chose to give Lucas the Scott last name
Speaker 1: instead of her own name Row. This troubles me mm
Speaker 1: hmm too because by the time of Lucas was born,
Speaker 1: deb was already what three months pregnant at least two
Speaker 1: or three months pregnant with Nathan, which would have trickled
Speaker 1: back to Karen. I mean, Keith would have told her like, hey,
Speaker 1: Danny's knocked up some girl at college. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 1: going to marry her. But you know what it is.
Speaker 1: These are these are those moments where, at least as
Speaker 1: an actor, I look at it and I go because
Speaker 1: drama the writer has made that decision, because it's much
Speaker 1: more dramatic to have Lucas Scott and Nathan Scott going
Speaker 1: to tree Hill High, then Lucas Row and Nathan Scott
Speaker 1: going to tree Hill High. I want you to put
Speaker 1: that on a T shirt. Because drama, because drama. Yeah. Perfect. Also,
Speaker 1: it's really sad. It's it's it's sad that, like Karen,
Speaker 1: who we know is this super strong girl, was potentially
Speaker 1: holding out hoped that Dan would be a part of
Speaker 1: Lucas's life. Like everything we know now is so gross,
Speaker 1: but you know that's what it is. What else do
Speaker 1: we got? Who's next up? Oh? I like this? Uh
Speaker 1: kim asks. You've talked about how you wish there was
Speaker 1: a school counselor on the show. If you could go
Speaker 1: back and be that counselor, what advice would you have
Speaker 1: given to each of your characters or another character if
Speaker 1: you'd rather choose that, I'm a school counselor, so I
Speaker 1: may steal some of your advice. Oh my god, that
Speaker 1: now I suddenly feel I'm like, I was going to
Speaker 1: say something really sassy, but now I feel like I
Speaker 1: need to pontificate. I get serious. Man. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I would never put myself in a position to be
Speaker 1: a counselor. I'd like to yes, and this question by
Speaker 1: asking like, if not us, who would you have cast
Speaker 1: as our school counselor. Yeah, because we had a really
Speaker 1: good actress player school counselor, but we should have had
Speaker 1: somebody long term. Yeah, God, I liked her so much.
Speaker 1: It's I don't know why I just had this thought,
Speaker 1: but best Armstrong popped into my head. There's a part
Speaker 1: of me that thinks like, oh, Haley's mom would have
Speaker 1: been the natural school counselor. And then it's like, of
Speaker 1: course Haley would be a tutor. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I feel like that would have
Speaker 1: been so cool and would have tracked for Haley's experience. Well,
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, everybody's parents worked at the school.
Speaker 1: It was like my mom was a school bus driver
Speaker 1: in middle school. My friend Maureen's mom was the substitute teacher.
Speaker 1: You know, like everybody's parents were involved with the school.
Speaker 1: We should have had more of that. Instead, we just
Speaker 1: have Dan lurking around corners. Um, you know what would
Speaker 1: have been so cool? I like cool things. I think
Speaker 1: actually the coolest, like stunt casting we could have done.
Speaker 1: But that would have been really profound for us. Imagine
Speaker 1: if we brought Tiffany Feeson, like the queen of say
Speaker 1: By the Bell, to be the one steering all of
Speaker 1: us kids, like she helped you so much after you
Speaker 1: left the show, like and then she would have helped
Speaker 1: us really topple some patriarchy and tree Hill. And she
Speaker 1: would have been so red behind the camera, like she
Speaker 1: would have been like you should have been like why
Speaker 1: are you wearing that? Right? Like? Who talked you into this?
Speaker 1: You don't want to be doing this. She's so cool,
Speaker 1: You're spot on. The advice as our counselor, I would die,
Speaker 1: I mean, can we go back? Can we can we
Speaker 1: go back and have a redo? Can we have her? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the hot counselor. She's so cool? Um. The advice that
Speaker 1: you would give Brook, what would what would you tell Brook? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: I I would have loved for someone in a trusted position,
Speaker 1: you know, a mentor to her to help her expand
Speaker 1: her purview outside of the high school, to just show
Speaker 1: her a little more of the world, to say, you know,
Speaker 1: this isn't it. You don't need to be picked by
Speaker 1: the boy here, you don't need to have this be
Speaker 1: your whole world? What what would you be capable of
Speaker 1: if you were looking at a larger slice of life?
Speaker 1: And I honestly, I mean I wish that's it by
Speaker 1: somebody had given to us when we were twenty two.
Speaker 1: Maybrick Kelly did tell me that she was like, run,
Speaker 1: get up, and that's when we were like twenty six,
Speaker 1: and it already do a bunchillery run? Uh? Is that
Speaker 1: the advice I wanted as a teenager? Run? I mean
Speaker 1: I did that. Um. I just recently had a conversation
Speaker 1: with a friend of mine who's in their early twenties
Speaker 1: and they are going through it. I mean, she's hard.
Speaker 1: And my advice was have fun, like you're you have
Speaker 1: the whole rest of your life to do the therapy
Speaker 1: and to think about this and to sort it out
Speaker 1: right now in your twenties, in this chunk of time.
Speaker 1: And that also goes for teenagers, and that that chapter,
Speaker 1: which is different than your twenties, but also like a
Speaker 1: significant chapter, prioritize pleasure and fun and like being irreverent
Speaker 1: and irresponsible. And Peyton didn't really do a lot of that.
Speaker 1: So when she does it, it's really fun to watch
Speaker 1: because it's like oh my god, she's being such a
Speaker 1: little goober. Um, but it's rare, so prioritize pleasure. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put that on my T shirt so for like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to write it down, do it. That's mom's advice.
Speaker 1: You got the whole rest of your life to sort
Speaker 1: your ship out. Um. Yeah, to take a little bit
Speaker 1: of the pressure off. I mean, I remember clue into
Speaker 1: some of the mistakes I've made. I remember at that
Speaker 1: age literally being like, oh God, like, if I've kissed
Speaker 1: a boy, he has to be my boyfriend. If I
Speaker 1: am truly like winding up dealing with a human for
Speaker 1: years because I thought that was required. You know, I
Speaker 1: think too to let young people take the pressure off
Speaker 1: and just be like, it's okay to change your mind.
Speaker 1: It's okay to give something a shot and go. Not
Speaker 1: for me, it's that was a learning experience. Yeah yeah, hello,
Speaker 1: no one ever told us that was all right. Y'all
Speaker 1: should be out there collecting learning experiences. They're not failures,
Speaker 1: they're just learning opportunities like girls scout patches. If we
Speaker 1: collecting boys like girl scout patches, that's prey. Yeah you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a healthy belt. Um, what do they called a
Speaker 1: girl Scouts? What those sash? Is it a sash? It's not? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna make you. I'm going to make you.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely making you a satch. Yeah. Wait, I want
Speaker 1: to make one for you. Okay, Trouble Rachel wants to
Speaker 1: know how much money do you think Peyton spent a
Speaker 1: week on candles? She has so many candles she has
Speaker 1: lit and so many of her scenes. Well, Rachel, before
Speaker 1: the advent of social media and internet shopping, Um, we
Speaker 1: had to leave our house to spend our money, and
Speaker 1: like going to buy a record and a candle was
Speaker 1: kind of it. Like that's the sign of the times.
Speaker 1: That's all we had. Do you remember like going to
Speaker 1: witch shops and like buy an incense and stuff and
Speaker 1: thinking like I'm so edgy, I'm so dark. Yeah I do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now you got embarrassing, but I'm still into incense and
Speaker 1: which shop. Well, that's it. That's the stuff that we
Speaker 1: send each other. You'll grow. You want to candle? Um,
Speaker 1: I got you a deck of cards? What? Okay? So
Speaker 1: if you had to make a scented candle for Brooke,
Speaker 1: what would brook scent be? Oh? Man like season one
Speaker 1: Brook would be like vanilla and glitter like a scripper,
Speaker 1: but later season's Brooke would be complex and probably have
Speaker 1: like leather and food. And I don't know what as
Speaker 1: smell as I like, um, it's interesting, which just came
Speaker 1: to mind. I'm like, sorry, I'm starting to think about
Speaker 1: the smells of Wilmington's like magnolia and azalea, and like,
Speaker 1: I'd love if we could have made candles that smelled like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that place you first struck me as like a Guardino lady.
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, you have you have Guardinia energy. Oh
Speaker 1: thank you. I feel like pet can Peyton mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like Peyton might be a secret
Speaker 1: Petuli freak. Do you know what I mean? Like, you
Speaker 1: know how people make fun of Petuli and it's like
Speaker 1: you hippie whatever. I feel like Peyton has a secret comfort.
Speaker 1: And I say this because my kids preschool, they make
Speaker 1: everything smell like Petuli, So your child comes home smelling
Speaker 1: like that, and it's a sensory thing they do on purpose,
Speaker 1: so that when they smell that, they know it's like
Speaker 1: safe and comfortable. So I will light incense in the
Speaker 1: house sometimes. And Gus, who's twelve, will be like it
Speaker 1: smellst like it's mostly preschool mom, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's a comfort thing. Yeah, that It is really incredible.
Speaker 1: What what kind of visceral memories scent can give you?
Speaker 1: You know, like when we watch Storm episodes of the show,
Speaker 1: all of us are like, oh, the smell of the
Speaker 1: sidewalks pointed in the rain, like we know it. It
Speaker 1: smells the way like a coin tastes exactly. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: in my bones, I feel that I want more of that.
Speaker 1: I want a candle that smells like that. Well. Um,
Speaker 1: Grace Holcombe, who played Baby Jenny, was so cute during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. She started selling candles Baby Grace our baby
Speaker 1: g candles and she was like donating money to charity.
Speaker 1: And she's just such a good egg, that angel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love her. So if you're gonna buy candles, buy
Speaker 1: I'm from her next time. She's got a little sweet costar.
Speaker 1: Oh and on the subject of co stars, Annie says,
Speaker 1: if you could work with any costars, and you know
Speaker 1: my answer, any co star besides each other? Again, who
Speaker 1: do you want to work with? Oh? So many people.
Speaker 1: I got to do a lot of this in producing
Speaker 1: those Christmas movies because it was basically like who want
Speaker 1: step Party? You know. The one person I haven't gotten
Speaker 1: to reunite with is um Cullen Moss and I love
Speaker 1: watching him on Righteous Gemstones on Outer Banks. He's all over.
Speaker 1: He just did the Staircase. You guys don't understand because
Speaker 1: he was just playing junk on our show and they
Speaker 1: would throw him like goofy lines here and there. He's
Speaker 1: an amazing actor and as we get older, he's only
Speaker 1: getting better and better and better and like really growing
Speaker 1: into that gravelly southern character actor vibe. I would love
Speaker 1: to work with him again. I would too, That would
Speaker 1: be so cool. It's it's interesting. He always comes to
Speaker 1: mind for me. All I want to do is go
Speaker 1: make a fun movie with Lee Norris and I just
Speaker 1: I just crossed one off the bucket list because you know,
Speaker 1: we've talked so much about how we'd love to work
Speaker 1: with Greenberg, and I just went into his how I
Speaker 1: did Junction with him and um, you know, for our
Speaker 1: friends at home. Brian Greenberg, who played Jake Jakalski, wrote
Speaker 1: this beautiful movie called Junction. It's a heartbreaker. It's about
Speaker 1: the opioid epidemic. It's hopeful, it's sad, it's truthful, it's
Speaker 1: like all the things. And I played his wife that
Speaker 1: I know. It really was fun um and it was
Speaker 1: it was just like such a beautiful experience and there
Speaker 1: was something so special that happened, because you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: you get a scene on its feet and it needs
Speaker 1: to be different than it was on paper, and it
Speaker 1: was a big It was really surreal, like in a
Speaker 1: gym basketball game, like flashback into our show, although obviously
Speaker 1: completely different, and I think our sympatico as friends enabled
Speaker 1: us to immediately drop into something and we were messing
Speaker 1: around with the scene and we both realized what it needed,
Speaker 1: and on the spot we reordered all the dialogue, like
Speaker 1: we just rewrote the whole thing together and like to
Speaker 1: make it work for the walking and the thing and
Speaker 1: the cutaway and whatever. And it was so good. And
Speaker 1: he texted me like a week later. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm watching the basketball seeing him crying, and I was like,
Speaker 1: we did it, and did it. We made a family.
Speaker 1: We made a family and it still works, and like
Speaker 1: it was so special to have that experience of trusting
Speaker 1: your scene partner so much that you could dive into
Speaker 1: something completely unknown together and I think that kind of
Speaker 1: shorthand is what all of us will always have with
Speaker 1: each other. And it was very cool. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Listen Buckley and I did a Christmas movie together and
Speaker 1: our director was like Angel. She was just like, are
Speaker 1: you too dating in real life? And I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm married with kids to other people. And he is engaged. No,
Speaker 1: actually he had just gotten married to Jen. I was like,
Speaker 1: so we're both married and she's like, but you too,
Speaker 1: like you guys get along, and I'm like, yeah, because
Speaker 1: we're part of the same club. Like once you go
Speaker 1: through our club, yeah, you're bound for life. That's it.
Speaker 1: We're stuck. We we really lucked out. We have some
Speaker 1: really solid people that we get to bounce around with
Speaker 1: um and we've gotten to like travel the world with
Speaker 1: each other and talk ship in hotel rooms late at night.
Speaker 1: That's really how you connect. It's late night. You go
Speaker 1: to the hotel bar, you get a margharita, you order
Speaker 1: a pizza from Remember the night we shut down we
Speaker 1: shut down the hotel in Wilmington's We've ordered you pizza.
Speaker 1: We anticipate, like you guys being here for a while.
Speaker 1: We feel that you're not leaving, but also we need
Speaker 1: you to eat more food because it is late and
Speaker 1: you've had a lot to drink. We're worried about you, guys.
Speaker 1: So Julie wants to know who was your favorite villain
Speaker 1: on the show. M bing bing, Oh, Matt Bar. I
Speaker 1: hate that Matt bar plays like a sexual predator and
Speaker 1: like a super creep, because it would have been great
Speaker 1: to have a redemption arc for him, so we could
Speaker 1: have kept him around, because he's the loveliest, like Ah,
Speaker 1: that's someone who I wish we'd gotten to work with
Speaker 1: again on something different. I didn't. I don't think I
Speaker 1: ever told you this. Did I tell you about when
Speaker 1: I ran into him early pandemic days? No? Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I was at the grocery store, like gloves, masks, all stuff,
Speaker 1: and I'm talking to my girlfriend Sam, who I was
Speaker 1: in my little pod with, and I mean, this is
Speaker 1: early early days, and I hear Sophia and I turn
Speaker 1: around and there is this tall, done gorgeous like Chris
Speaker 1: Hemsworth look alike in a tank top and shorts ripped tan.
Speaker 1: I just was like, what who is And he pulls
Speaker 1: his mask down and it's Matt Barr and we just
Speaker 1: started like screaming in the grocery store, which really was
Speaker 1: a terrible choice because it was also in the moment
Speaker 1: where like all the shells everyone everyone was like boarding
Speaker 1: the frozen vegetables, so people like thought we were getting
Speaker 1: in a fight, and then we were like no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: everything happy screams. Happy screams were just so happy and
Speaker 1: we stood there chatting and he is just a dreamboat.
Speaker 1: It was so fun. Such an angel that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so weird how they always cast people younger than
Speaker 1: us to play older than us, Like Tyler was supposed
Speaker 1: to be older than us, Matt was supposed to be
Speaker 1: older than us, and instead they show up and they're like,
Speaker 1: such CUTEI pies. I know. It was also weird. It's
Speaker 1: striking me as you're saying this that they would often
Speaker 1: cast a nice sist people as the most terrible characters.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting choice. I don't know what that's all about.
Speaker 1: Give them their Emmy's, give them, give them their flowers. Sweet.
Speaker 1: All right, Well this was fun. You guys keep sending questions.
Speaker 1: I really I just enjoy an opportunity to talk about
Speaker 1: Matt Barr and Greenberg, and really we're just talking about
Speaker 1: all the cute boys that we were. Does it all
Speaker 1: go back to the girl scout sash? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: what I'm on there, love them what I'm on there?
Speaker 1: All right? You guys are the best. I love you you. Hey,
