Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe for somebody, I'm sure, I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's a Lucas Scott out there, but um, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just love the heart of the show.
Speaker 1: And like I I would say, now looking going back
Speaker 1: and watching it as you guys are doing the show,
Speaker 1: what's so crazy to me is that I value so
Speaker 1: much more Moira and Barbara and Craig, like all of
Speaker 1: the adults on our show. That really grounded it for us.
Speaker 1: And I mean, you guys were doing fantastic, but I
Speaker 1: didn't know what the hell I was. I was just
Speaker 1: dancing in and out down. We didn't know what we
Speaker 1: were doing either. Well, hey, listen, speaking of Barbara Allen Woods, Um,
Speaker 1: we just hung out with her in New York. Tell hey,
Speaker 1: tell tell antone what she said. Guys, we got to
Speaker 1: do a show with our moms in New York. So
Speaker 1: we had Barbara, we had Daphne. We asked them what
Speaker 1: their favorite turning points for their characters were, and Barbara
Speaker 1: said that once Debs started making out with Skills, she
Speaker 1: never wanted to go back. She wanted to be bad, bad,
Speaker 1: bad bad. She went black and never went back. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: she turned the light off. Baby. You guys have such
Speaker 1: good chemistry, Like we need you to play a married
Speaker 1: couple like in a in a show. We need to
Speaker 1: be together. Man, Listen. I say this all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm like kind of like not cocky but arrogant, but
Speaker 1: not really when we're doing like love scenes and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But she was the first woman to ever
Speaker 1: make me feel like, oh, like suet because she was
Speaker 1: just like okay, okay, and I'm like, yeah, we're gonna kiss,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be Yeah, it's gonna be mutual. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be and she just like went all out and I
Speaker 1: was just like, oh, hold up, Barbara's wild. Am I
Speaker 1: supposed to touch you? She's like, do what you want?
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's like sixty people here. Barbara
Speaker 1: was like, I'm finally out of those chinos and a
Speaker 1: polo shop. Let's go. She had me so intimidated. I
Speaker 1: was like, hi, miss Barbara, how are you. Did you
Speaker 1: know that storyline was coming? No? I did not. I
Speaker 1: just read it. It was like she fine, all right,
Speaker 1: let me see what's happening. But we got on set,
Speaker 1: it was a whole different ball game. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: wait a second. Wasn't there also a moment where there
Speaker 1: was a will we or won't we? In the writer's
Speaker 1: room with Skills and Peyton? Yeah? I asked about that,
Speaker 1: but they were so scared to go forward. Remember I
Speaker 1: was like, give me some drama. Yeah, why how come
Speaker 1: I free to get the date to everybody that I'm dating? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I can't date nobody. Well, we'd already set up the
Speaker 1: narrative in our town that like everybody kissed everybody, And
Speaker 1: so when Lucas goes off with Lindsay and it's like
Speaker 1: clear he's going to stay with her. It was my
Speaker 1: understanding that as I wept and you walked me through
Speaker 1: parks and things and cheered me up, you were my
Speaker 1: shoulder to cry on. It was I was supposed to
Speaker 1: hit that on the should you even want to do all?
Speaker 1: They were scared, you know what I'm saying. They were
Speaker 1: scared well. And also I think they knew that if
Speaker 1: you and I were shooting a lot together, nothing would
Speaker 1: get accomplished, because I find the one that would call
Speaker 1: me like, we're going to sidebar you in and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm rapping in four minutes, I'll be there. And so
Speaker 1: they knew that they couldn't leave us unsupervised. And also, like,
Speaker 1: quite frankly, now that I'm hearing all of this, I'm
Speaker 1: so glad we didn't because I couldn't follow Barbara's act.
Speaker 1: Like I'm intimidated a lot to live up to Barbara.
Speaker 1: Get that thing. I know, I ain't even man this
Speaker 1: se had you had kissing scenes before our show? Kissing
Speaker 1: scenes before our show? Um No, you have plenty of
Speaker 1: love triangles on the show, like you and Rachel is
Speaker 1: a whole thing. I know. He kissed my girl free,
Speaker 1: he kiss everybody, kissed everybody Bill. Barbara kissed me in
Speaker 1: real life, not on this at the charity basketball game.
Speaker 1: They brought us out together and she was like kiss
Speaker 1: me and I was like no, and she just dipped
Speaker 1: me and like laid it on me the best sense
Speaker 1: of hum. Yeah, I love her. She's so fine. And
Speaker 1: the older she get, the better she looks. She's just fine,
Speaker 1: a beautiful daughters. Is she just fine? Good lord? And
Speaker 1: she's funny too, which makes it like better because you'll
Speaker 1: tell a joke that's a little bit salty and Barbara
Speaker 1: will meet you and beat you and she's going watch
Speaker 1: how he listen? She said, now is she? Ye? We
Speaker 1: all got a convention next month. I can't promise that
Speaker 1: it's going to be all safe. It could get very dangerous. Um.
Speaker 1: There a story that you wanted to see though that
Speaker 1: you didn't get. Like you guys felt like you had
Speaker 1: a missed opportunity. Everybody knows. I'll be pissed about Uncle
Speaker 1: Cooper forever forever. Who are you mad about? Lee? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean I always wanted to, like maybe
Speaker 1: have met like his mom or his dad, we got
Speaker 1: to his grandfather mouths grandfather. Remember when we had that
Speaker 1: we went go card storyline. But I never had a
Speaker 1: mom or dad, never had mo as a ring add
Speaker 1: me to the list. I mean, you didn't have a
Speaker 1: mom or dad. You know you didn't have a mom
Speaker 1: or dad. My mom and dad came on one episode?
Speaker 1: Did they remeb when Bevin came to the house. Your
Speaker 1: mom and dad came to the house. So I had
Speaker 1: a barbecue? Well, I got a grandfather who had all
Speaker 1: the time. I remember that episode. I watched that one.

Speaker 1: what's happening next week? I wanted to watch you. I will.
Speaker 1: I will say that I wish that I'd gotten to
Speaker 1: do more with you, Joy. I felt like the River
Speaker 1: Court Hayley connection, they could have gone more that there
Speaker 1: was a lot of space for that. Quite got a
Speaker 1: chance to fill that up. I know, I wish I
Speaker 1: had spent more time with the River Corp boys, because
Speaker 1: I do feel like Hayley was in that on that
Speaker 1: line where she was between, you know, between Lucas and Nathan,
Speaker 1: and but she had been grown. She grown up with Luke,
Speaker 1: grew up with us, all of you guys so well.
Speaker 1: And I missed that. I feel like we really, but
Speaker 1: you weren't. You weren't on the pilot though, because I
Speaker 1: was talking to a different Joy. That's right. But then
Speaker 1: after when I had hair, then I had hair no more.
Speaker 1: And then it was it was you, and I was like,
Speaker 1: she good, real good. Yeah, we hit it off right away,
Speaker 1: I think. I mean I always I always loved the
Speaker 1: River Cort boys. I always thought it was so fun
Speaker 1: to hang with you guys. We need more River clib
Speaker 1: billy and drama queens. I'm telling you yea, I will say,
Speaker 1: because we talk about hair a lot on our podcast,
Speaker 1: I like knowing that you also marked time by the
Speaker 1: haircut you had makes me feel a little bit vindicat hair.
Speaker 1: I had a fade and it was crazy because the
Speaker 1: lady who was cutting hair, it was like some racial
Speaker 1: stuff going on at the time because she was just like,
Speaker 1: I cut black hair. I cut black hair, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I want to fade, like I cut my
Speaker 1: car fighter hair, I could cut your hair. I was like,
Speaker 1: bad do it? She my hair up, so I had
Speaker 1: to keep it to keep it in the pilot, and
Speaker 1: I was like, this ain't gonna work because my lie

Speaker 1: that in two days. It's just shadow gonna grow in.
Speaker 1: At least she didn't have porcupine hair. Like, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was bad, but that all you boys had that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to give us a little sticks with wax
Speaker 1: that we're just twirling her hair, just twirl jeans and chatted.

Speaker 1: think every time our our songs were ever used in
Speaker 1: a TV show, it was always a surprise, you know,
Speaker 1: and um, for One Tree Hill, it was it was
Speaker 1: an honor though, I mean, because you guys always had
Speaker 1: really great songs and it felt like you had, you know,
Speaker 1: some of our friends, Gavin Decara, Jimmy World, people that
Speaker 1: we really respected. Yeah, so we thought, man, every time
Speaker 1: every time a song was used as an honor. For sure.
Speaker 1: I just want to thank you because it was the
Speaker 1: only time that my neighbors thought I had a real job.
Speaker 1: We heard your song on the show You're gonna make
Speaker 1: your house payment? And when I first moved in, I
Speaker 1: was like one bought a house and my neighbors all
Speaker 1: were waiting for I looked like I was fifteen, and
Speaker 1: my neighbors were all waiting for my parents to show up,
Speaker 1: you know, like what are your parents going to move
Speaker 1: in with you? So then they were like, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: we heard your song on the show, so so thank
Speaker 1: you for that. Yeah, I mean you guys, so you
Speaker 1: had uh you had this huge hit with walked it
Speaker 1: with your song and I walked to remember and right,
Speaker 1: and then they used your song for this big epic
Speaker 1: moment which none of us you know, we've talked about
Speaker 1: this before the first test between Nathan and Haley, which
Speaker 1: none of us really knew was going to be such
Speaker 1: a big deal. I mean we just shot the scene
Speaker 1: and like put it on TV, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the feedback was huge and that song became
Speaker 1: this iconic moment in the show, uh with Dairy to Move,
Speaker 1: and then they kept bringing it back in too. Um so,
Speaker 1: could you tell us a little bit about that song
Speaker 1: and maybe what you wrote it about or what the
Speaker 1: process was there. Yeah, so that song, um, I had
Speaker 1: just it was right before where I dropped out of college,
Speaker 1: and yeah, one way or the other, I know, we
Speaker 1: got like people on both sides of the fence in here,
Speaker 1: you know, um stand school kids unless uh yeah, so
Speaker 1: I remember for that particular song, Um, I just moved
Speaker 1: back in with my parents, and moving back in with
Speaker 1: your parents when you're at that age. I remember telling
Speaker 1: my buddy, my best friend, I said, hey, listen, if
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm reaching that point and I'm still living
Speaker 1: at home, you need to like kick me out because
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be that guy, you know, but
Speaker 1: I was living with my folks, and um, we we
Speaker 1: recorded the vocal in in one of the downstairs like closet.
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, you're just kind of like making
Speaker 1: do with what you got. So that song for us, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: it came from nothing and it was a surprise for
Speaker 1: us that it really caught on as well. It was beautiful,
Speaker 1: you know, to think that you can have feeling of
Speaker 1: thought an idea at three in the morning, um, trying
Speaker 1: to figure out why you're here on the planet, and
Speaker 1: then to hear it connect with somebody else and realized
Speaker 1: that somebody else has felt the same way. Yeah, connected
Speaker 1: with all of us. Thank you. And now you've got

Speaker 1: continuing Christmas that far into the year, right, You're, oh, yeah,

Speaker 1: you don't really want to deal with, but you gotta
Speaker 1: deal with it. Had somehow ended up around the corner
Speaker 1: on the porch and I didn't really have to think
Speaker 1: about it, so I didn't really do anything with it.
Speaker 1: And it looked kind of nice there, you know. So

Speaker 1: mean because my um, the last time I was as
Speaker 1: nervous was when true story. Uh maybe ten years ago,

Speaker 1: good audience. Switch my ladies and gentleman who we were
Speaker 1: going to bring in a rain machine so you guys
Speaker 1: got like the full effect. Oh my gosh. I remember
Speaker 1: feeling like I couldn't believe they put that song to
Speaker 1: like me and James like, yeah, I was in that.
Speaker 1: Blew my mind. Baby, you're an icon, am I you are? Yes?
Speaker 1: It's also really because of that song. But it's also crazy,
Speaker 1: isn't it? Because when we do the scenes, it's real quiet,
Speaker 1: very quiet, and there's like usually a walkie talking, somebody's
Speaker 1: like around all we're rolling everybody get ready for take
Speaker 1: wood and then it's quiet and then there's like a
Speaker 1: hose with holes in it above your head that it's
Speaker 1: really laugh somebody who's like butt crack is hanging out
Speaker 1: and they're like leaning over a thing and cranking a wheel.
Speaker 1: You know it on too much? Alright, turn it back down?
Speaker 1: All right? The water tank just ran out caught. And
Speaker 1: then you watch the episode and you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is gorgeous. I feel very moved this music. Am
Speaker 1: I crying? But also, you know, I always thought about
Speaker 1: music in that way that it could take you back
Speaker 1: to a place in time where you were young and
Speaker 1: care free, or just like a place that you remember.
Speaker 1: I never thought a TV show could do that necessarily,
Speaker 1: um in the way that music does. And it's been
Speaker 1: really surprising since we've been on the road that we've
Speaker 1: run into so many people that are attached to One
Speaker 1: Tree Hill and they've introduced their kids to it, and
Speaker 1: so thinking of One Tree Hill is like a song.
Speaker 1: It's kind of how it's made sense in my brain.
Speaker 1: What was your song that felt like growing up? Yeah? Like,
Speaker 1: what's the song that takes you back to seventeen? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I don't. I mean that that song just
Speaker 1: took me back to college and back to Wilmington, and
Speaker 1: I felt like I could like see smell here Wilmington's
Speaker 1: and there are songs that like, I think for me,
Speaker 1: I mean, seventeen was great, But my best happiest memories
Speaker 1: are with you guys when we did the show. So
Speaker 1: when I'm maybe from home, you said that every time
Speaker 1: I talk to you, I cry on face time, and
Speaker 1: I'm promise I'm fun stuff. Guys, you want to know
Speaker 1: what's fun. Speaking of songs, Leon Orris and I have
Speaker 1: a song. The last time we were together in person,
Speaker 1: we danced for that song on my wedding and it
Speaker 1: was it was. It was pretty dope. Also, any time
Speaker 1: I hear I want to Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston,
Speaker 1: I send to the video every time. What are they screaming?
Speaker 1: I can't we can't sing it? Sang it mean Lee?
Speaker 1: Do you want to wrap? I can't do in justice.
Speaker 1: I'll just say three six nine we were you know.
Speaker 1: I want to Dance with Somebody was a song I
Speaker 1: auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club with what I feel
Speaker 1: like this always happens where we tell a story and
Speaker 1: enjoys like this reminds me of that time that I
Speaker 1: was in a car and I made a million dollars
Speaker 1: and I kissed the frog and we're like what total
Speaker 1: if you go back. No. I auditioned for the Mickey
Speaker 1: Mouse Club in Dallas. It was the same year as
Speaker 1: Brittney and Ryan Gosseling, and like all those kids got
Speaker 1: in and I was like in the last round and
Speaker 1: um and my song was I want to dance with somebody. Oh,
Speaker 1: I got in the newspaper. I had like a sing
Speaker 1: it like that is a shameful thing for me to
Speaker 1: try and do, because Whitney is just like untouchable. You
Speaker 1: won't do with somebody? Was somebody? God? Was somebody somebody who? Yeah, honey,
Speaker 1: all I heard was that you were one step away
Speaker 1: from kissing Ryan Goslip. Yeah, like the hill close. Probably No.
Speaker 1: I didn't well ended up in a room with a loo.
Speaker 1: It was this kind of a depressing story actually happening.
Speaker 1: I wait aecond, No, no, no, no. It was like
Speaker 1: the final round and I don't know who the guy was.
Speaker 1: I just remember going into this room that was very small,
Speaker 1: and this just older guy in a suit who was
Speaker 1: smoking a cigar and this really this was to go
Speaker 1: back to win. Yeah. No, I just remember going and
Speaker 1: I read my lines and then I walked out. I
Speaker 1: could barely breathe in the room and it was and
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think I want to do this.
Speaker 1: I think he won this. I'm glad I didn't. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember finding out that Antoine's favorite singer was Phil Collins.
Speaker 1: That's right, love him todays. Yes, I love Phil Collins.
Speaker 1: I probably was one of the only black people that
Speaker 1: have front row tickets for years, and I'm sure he
Speaker 1: noticed me. It was like he here again. I went
Speaker 1: by myself to the last one at the Staples Center
Speaker 1: that he had, and he had his last tour because
Speaker 1: he said he was talking to his kids and he
Speaker 1: was telling his kids, listen, I'm really a superstar. And
Speaker 1: his kids like, dad, shut the hell up. You ain't
Speaker 1: no superstar, you just dad. And he was like, no,
Speaker 1: I have fans. They're like yeah, because his kids never
Speaker 1: knew that he sang like that. So he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back on tour to prove to you.
Speaker 1: His tour sold out so fast. I said, baby, do
Speaker 1: you want to go. She's like, no, I don't want
Speaker 1: to go. I'm going by my I pay for my seat.
Speaker 1: I was in the third road. I went a center
Speaker 1: and he looked and I was like, yeah, he know me.
Speaker 1: It's me and I've been here for twenty years. Baby,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite song? Well, he hasn't so many. I

Speaker 1: from Gabby. Hi. Sorry, I don't have a shot for
Speaker 1: you all. That's okay. We don't have to be to
Speaker 1: walk out of here, you know. Hi. Hi, So I
Speaker 1: think I know Sophia's answer to this question, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to know what storyline you all wish your character
Speaker 1: would have had. Get it out of your system. I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: there's one that's obvious. We just watched the episode pissed
Speaker 1: about it. Um, But like, really, top top Why is
Speaker 1: Brooke Davis not married to Senator McFadden. I mean, damn ye,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Should have let me Brooker,
Speaker 1: I ain't on live what y'all think? She dance like
Speaker 1: a black girl. She could have, honestly, when Lucas cheated
Speaker 1: with Peyton Brooks should have been like, I got some
Speaker 1: revenge for you, bron you want Samocha and see and see.
Speaker 1: Then I wouldn't have had to follow in Barbara's footsteps either,
Speaker 1: so it would have been fine. I ain't gonna lot
Speaker 1: Barbara top tier, top tier. It's with her a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just keep it on God, I mean, i't
Speaker 1: wait to sender the tapes of the show. She's no.
Speaker 1: Barb's gonna love this, my baby. She talked about you
Speaker 1: a lot. It'll By the ways, would you notice that
Speaker 1: they're dressed the same? Oh my god, you guys in
Speaker 1: the same seat there are coordinated. You're very you know
Speaker 1: my Gretti told me this. She said every woman likes
Speaker 1: chocolate at least once a month, am I lie? They
Speaker 1: crave chocolate once. Someone Antoine, you need to set up
Speaker 1: an Instagram account just for videos of your grandma, like
Speaker 1: all those videos that you sad she was to They
Speaker 1: like chocolate once someone I know that I got daughters.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, dad, oh my god, it's shark Week.
Speaker 1: I want to heat bar a snicker or something. Hellad,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Spark Week. Joy, What did your character
Speaker 1: miss out on? Man? I Hayley missed out on just
Speaker 1: like being really irresponsible for a while. She should have
Speaker 1: hung out with Skills. Skills should yeah, for sure, But
Speaker 1: I think it would have been fun. I don't know
Speaker 1: when it would have worked out, Like maybe Nathan and
Speaker 1: Haley like split up and then but for real, don't
Speaker 1: hate me. Hold on, hold on, They're gonna proflus give
Speaker 1: him a season or two, you know, halfway through to
Speaker 1: find their way back to each other, and then you
Speaker 1: get to go through the whole experience of them falling
Speaker 1: in love all over and you could play switch for
Speaker 1: a second time. See what I'm saying, literally shaking their
Speaker 1: major mixed reviews on that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm
Speaker 1: an actress and I want to do a different things.
Speaker 1: Skills take them to the ghetto. I'm sorry? Did you
Speaker 1: miss he lived on the other side of the River?
Speaker 1: Core already come to the hood. We never saw where
Speaker 1: Skills lived there. Yeah, what's that about he lived on
Speaker 1: the beach. Maybe he is, though, what if Skills surfs
Speaker 1: and we just don't know he ain't. Black people don't
Speaker 1: go to the beach. That's not true, Antoine. You did
Speaker 1: the episode with Bevan where we went to the cheer
Speaker 1: competition and you pretended you couldn't swim in a pool.
Speaker 1: Good memory. Yeah, but no sharks is that the boundary?
Speaker 1: Never heard of a black shark attack ever? And I'll
Speaker 1: watch National Discovery, that's my I'll watch all Afraid, Take
Speaker 1: it in Afraid. That's what I miss. Peyton should have
Speaker 1: had her Naked and Afraid chapter where made poor choices.
Speaker 1: I would love to have seen Peyton been like, get
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna go on Naked and Afraid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a National Wild Alaska. Just something you just
Speaker 1: don't have to build your own shelter diver. I feel
Speaker 1: like shows like that kind of preyed on people that
Speaker 1: were already a little like I've been shot and like
Speaker 1: my mom's died and I'm a mess, So I should
Speaker 1: go be cathartic on an island like Pete definitely would
Speaker 1: have done a reality television show. I would have loved
Speaker 1: to see that, like the castaway version of Peyton's life.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, realson, Sophia has just been talking about Love
Speaker 1: Island on Our Our Love UK, like can Peyton go
Speaker 1: on Love Island UK? Payton goes on Love Island UK.
Speaker 1: Brooks coming to be her stylist because I'm going done.
Speaker 1: There was a great question, did you get a storyline?
Speaker 1: But would well? I had sort of said, like, I
Speaker 1: wish we've done more together. But now that I heard so,
Speaker 1: and there was a moment where I was hopeful, I
Speaker 1: thought maybe what I will say it's tricky because I
Speaker 1: thought our storylines were so great and they were characters
Speaker 1: that really saw each other. And I also love that
Speaker 1: we modeled a really healthy, like supportive, loving kids friendship
Speaker 1: because we did that for each other. You know, you
Speaker 1: guys had such good chemistry. Yeah, we did, and I
Speaker 1: and I loved that he because they kept it friends
Speaker 1: and really he never had They never had to say
Speaker 1: goodboute to each other. They're always going to be some
Speaker 1: what I got to look out for the little guy?
Speaker 1: All right? Question. Our last question is from Andrea Hi Andrea. Hello, Hi,
Speaker 1: really quick, Such a small world. My best friend actually
Speaker 1: babysits Hillary. Your best friend Ashley's kids. Shup, Honny, Well
Speaker 1: listen where was she tonight? Because Ashley's husband had to
Speaker 1: go pick up the kids? Yeah, her kids. We had
Speaker 1: a whole conversation about it. You tell Ashley Ashley that
Speaker 1: I said, what's up and to take care of my nieces? Well,
Speaker 1: my question is, um, from what you guys remember? What
Speaker 1: was your all time favorite episode to shoot? Honey Grove
Speaker 1: was naughty? You got it need help. That's that's why
Speaker 1: you went to Honey Grow. I said, I didn't write it.
Speaker 1: You needed ass. I know you needed ass. I understood
Speaker 1: the text away. I was like, he need ass some fun.
Speaker 1: But I had that giant pregnancy pad on. It was
Speaker 1: like it was just hot, and you know how those
Speaker 1: things are so itchy are not great. It wasn't great.
Speaker 1: I guess I was thinking more like behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: like some man taught me to line dance in a
Speaker 1: bar and Honey Grove and I thought it was also Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: that nicest was off the chain was the new thirty
Speaker 1: and Honey Growth that was experienced so many kids trying
Speaker 1: to sneak into a bar and we're like, please please, please,
Speaker 1: please know, please please, We cannot be responsible for this. However,
Speaker 1: if you want to line dance, here we are. Um
Speaker 1: and I liked being on field trips, like we went
Speaker 1: to Charlotte, we went to Myrtle Beach. Where else did
Speaker 1: we go? Sent to cool places? After? I went to
Speaker 1: Raleigh too. We went to Raleigh. The state championship Park City.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Championship was one of my favorite episodes.
Speaker 1: I think my absolute favorite was the forties episode. I
Speaker 1: know that was I had so much fun. I know
Speaker 1: it was like a random and you guys were all
Speaker 1: probably like, what the hell is this? Why are we watching?
Speaker 1: Was that when I was a piano dude? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't know who I was playing. I was like, who
Speaker 1: the hell is this? Dude? How was the first time
Speaker 1: I had to wear a wig for like days? And
Speaker 1: this is so itchy? I was miserable to hang off
Speaker 1: a bridge. I got pushed off a bridge, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's and there. It was a real bridge and real
Speaker 1: water with real alligators in it. I don't like, did
Speaker 1: they have a sniper? Did they have a sniper for you?
Speaker 1: Did they have a sniper for you siper, they have
Speaker 1: dater snipers. No, I think they saved those for you guys,
Speaker 1: and Tyler got the gator snipers. Yeah. When they had
Speaker 1: to jump off the Henrietta when it was a casino boat. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love that episode where we were all in the
Speaker 1: old House for graduation. That kind of felt like that
Speaker 1: was actually in Wilmington's, but it still sort of felt
Speaker 1: like camp because it was like a lot of late
Speaker 1: late nights and we were it was a graduation, right,
Speaker 1: we're graduating and that house was about to be torn down.
Speaker 1: That's right. So they they said to the producers, you
Speaker 1: know you're going to throw this big end of high
Speaker 1: school party. I really wanted to know what their kids
Speaker 1: did because they were like, we know what happens there.
Speaker 1: If you want to like graffiti the walls or punch
Speaker 1: holes in them, go for We're about to rip the
Speaker 1: house down. And we were like, are your kids in
Speaker 1: jail or what? But but we did. We wound up
Speaker 1: and we like we wrote like messages in the graffiti.
Speaker 1: So if you go back and watch it, like we
Speaker 1: have like personal messages. Sort of initial way hold is
Speaker 1: that where I was saying a spice girl. Yeah, are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Hey, it's some nice condos on their property, now, yeah,
Speaker 1: there are. That's why the kids were like, graffiti, what
Speaker 1: you want, We're tearing it down. We're making nice done.
Speaker 1: Um Of all the locations, I really did love that one.
Speaker 1: Before we sign off, what was your favorite location? River Court,
Speaker 1: boy um Age, River Court. Yeah, I was gonna see
Speaker 1: a trick but river Court sitting on the river court
Speaker 1: looking back across the river at Wilmington's lit up, watching
Speaker 1: where we all grew up and lived our lives. Pretty special.
Speaker 1: Cold but cold drop. I'm gonna drink that too. Not
Speaker 1: like the river Court because I stayed right there across
Speaker 1: from the river cord at the river view. I never
Speaker 1: moved nowhere else. I didn't want to move nowhere else.
Speaker 1: It was like beautiful because I got to see the
Speaker 1: coast guard, I got to see people swimming. I got
Speaker 1: to see the dolphins when they came in in the
Speaker 1: morning when we were in filming. And then when we
Speaker 1: were filming, I was like, oh, this is kind of cool.
Speaker 1: I remember to dude Timmy, they used to eat all
Speaker 1: the crabs that come up on the river. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was tim Tim Kenny Timmy, Timmy, tim Kinny. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: used to eat all the crabs. He'd be like, like sushi,
Speaker 1: you're like crabs out the water. Yeah, we had a
Speaker 1: crew member who was an outdoorsman and would just like
Speaker 1: pick up snapping turtles and crabs and eat them on set.
Speaker 1: He also conny to work and is probably the reason
Speaker 1: I'm a beekeeper now. Yeah. Yeah, he was naked and
Speaker 1: afraid before. That's true, that's true. Should have ended up
