And they were like, no, no, no, 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.960 we agree, and like the casting team and the producers 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.560 also agree. But they were only casting or they were 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.680 only reading Hannahs and Garretts at the time, so they 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.039 were like, you just have to tape for this, and like, 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.159 trust us, they're going to see you for Ali afterwards. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.080 And I was like all right, So I did it 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.360 and then they were right. 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.280 They were right. We love the team's right. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.600 I love when the team is right.

Was it like a pretty long time. 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.480 Or I want to say first audition and was like 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.360 early February and then we started shooting end of May. 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:05.960 It's pretty fast. That's great. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:12.640 What do you think that's fast? Okay, So, like in 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.240 my experience, it's always been like I booked something and 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.360 then two weeks later I have to go shoot. So 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.120 there was this really crazy period of time where I 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.720 was like, oh, I've had it before I book something 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:24.279 in the next day. 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.200 That's intense.

They were like, 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:57.880 I'm literally doing the thing that I was like, I'm 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.640 literally doing the thing that I'm like asking you to 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.440 help me with. They like it. 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.160 So I was like, fine, and it's led you to 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.080 this moment now where you have this massive hit. How 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.320 like it's not the right way to frame the question 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.720 to say, how does it feel? But going from that 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.800 phone call in February, you're on set by May. Did 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.560 you think you know the first week or two while 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.400 you're on set, Oh, this is going to be something 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:19.840 that really connects and people are going to love these 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.599 characters and fall in love with the world, And or 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.240 was it just a really fun job. It's always amazing 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.920 to have a job, to have a gig to be doing, 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.559 but to have one that becomes something that is, you know, 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:31.600 blown up in the way it has. 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:36.160 Yeah, I think we always knew, just based on how 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:42.640 much like attention was being given to it already online, 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.720 we always knew that it was going to be somewhat successful. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.080 We had literally no idea that it would become what 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.160 it's become. And we were just having fun last year, 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.440 like we truly all of us are like the best 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.880 of friends, and we were just hanging out in Vancouver 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.080 for five months and having a great time and like 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.760 awesome kind of having our own little college experience and 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.600 it was just great. And then yeah, like we went 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.640 and did press and we were just like who knows, Like, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.080 who knows? This is going to be so fun? Like 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.280 maybe we'll go back and and yeah, and it's just 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.840 been like so crazy. I feel like I haven't taken 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:17.280 a breath. 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.200 Yeah, I'm sure it's something like approaching forty million views 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.319 in the first like twelve days, which is completely ine. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:25.480 Like I don't even know what that means. 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.160 She's a lot, Yeah, yeah, a huge, But I've heard 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.880 just back to the cast mates, you guys are genuinely close. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:35.880 We're genuinely so close. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.920 What's the what's the group chat called? If you can say, 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.680 if it's allowed to be said on the on the pod, 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:41.600 it's a great question. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.439 One of them is off campus Brazil. I think of Brazil, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.600 off campus Brazil. Okay, shatouw Brazil. Shoutout Brazil, out of Brazil. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.200 And then the boys have their own group chat called 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:56.640 Dean's Bitches. 0:11:58.520 --> 0:11:58.800 Nice. 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.960 That's Stephen named Stephen name that makes sense. And then 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.320 Ella and Josh and I have the girls group chat 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:06.640 that's called the Girls. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.599 So the Brazil one, though, is that for when you 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.080 guys were there doing press or was it just because it. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.559 Was just because Brazil has always been like really into. 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.560 It, into the show, into the show. Yeah, come to Brazil, 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.080 as they say, come to Brazil. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.360 And then we went to Brazil and then all of 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.040 our dms were like no, no, no, no, no, come to 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.680 Rio because we went to sell Polo and I was like, okay, 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:27.640 we can't get specific. 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:28.240 YEP. 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.040 I actually think we were. We were in Soapollo around 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.040 the same time. We were just there on tour and 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.640 I think we we we nearly cross paths with the 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.040 off campus. I think we did ships in the Night, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.080 Ships of the Night, and it's an incredibly passionate fan base. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:43.520 It is. 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.080 It would make sense that that they would gravit gravitate 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.840 towards something like this where there's a great romantic angle. 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.400 There's obviously a lot of physical and emotional things happening 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.199 as well. I assume you've watched the whole series or 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:55.719 have you? Have you not? 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:56.840 Yeah, I've seen it. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.360 I'm I'm working through it right now. I'm very excited. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:03.520 We just the first couple some steamy scenes in the show. Sure, obviously, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:05.559 but it seems like giving the nature of the fact 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.320 that you guys are all friendly, it's a good environment 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.079 on set that it's like safe and everyone feels like 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.600 they can just have fun and stay in the moment 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:12.320 and being the character. 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.680 Yeah, and also like, I don't know if we've worked 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.120 with intimacy coordinators of course lately, but they're very like 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.520 it's a whole thing. There's like writers and contracts and stuff, 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:26.240 and they've been really great at like choreographing the fuck 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.360 out of it and love like it's been really awesome 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.040 and they've just made us so comfortable. And yeah, honestly, 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:35.080 like all of our intimacy stuff last season didn't really 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.680 start happening until about halfway through, and so we had 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.760 the chance to like build the rapport and the friendship 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:40.640 and the trust and whatnot. 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.440 So it's never felt strange. That's great to hear at all. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.319 We love intimacy coordinators. We shut out, thank you for that. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.760 But season two is going to focus more on on 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.080 alian in Dean's relationships, right, that's right, Yeah, Okay, that's 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.000 very exciting. The fans are very excited about this. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.559 I'm very excited about this. 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.680 Any insight, you're probably not a lot and that's okay, I'm. 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.359 Not allot my lawyer toy on all of those. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:10.120 Great read these Nick read the book.
