Speaker 1: have a Q and A here for you. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be pretty fun. Um. It's just me and Hillary today. Hi, Hillary,
Speaker 1: Oh baby, I love it when we're together. I do too.
Speaker 1: This is fun. Let's get let's get you right now.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna in your life. George had her her little
Speaker 1: preschool moving up ceremony today. Uh. We had a dinner
Speaker 1: day in the morning. Dad picked her up from school
Speaker 1: and now we're just like racing to get home and
Speaker 1: get stuff done here at the farm. How's your house.
Speaker 1: It's good, Um, it's coming along. I'm putting together a
Speaker 1: new house. So yeah, I got some got some tile
Speaker 1: to pick out, got some grout to pick out, and uh,
Speaker 1: trims and chandeliers and curtains and all those. If you
Speaker 1: need a handy lady, I would love you. Yeah I might.
Speaker 1: I might need a vacation just to do some manual labor.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a true love that that would be
Speaker 1: so fun. Well, okay, listen, we have some questions, some
Speaker 1: listener questions. We love you, guys. We love it when
Speaker 1: you send in your questions. It really helps us know
Speaker 1: what you're interested in us talking about as we continue
Speaker 1: the show, and also just let's us know that you're
Speaker 1: still there and you're engaged and um, your support means
Speaker 1: so much to us. So we're excited when you send
Speaker 1: us your questions. So here's our first one. This is
Speaker 1: from Megan, and she says, would you like for there
Speaker 1: to have been at least one Christmas episode on the show?
Speaker 1: Do we never did a Christmas episode? Isn't that true?
Speaker 1: We had multiple Halloween episodes and even a Thanksgiving episode
Speaker 1: which I directed, but not Christmas. Curious to hear what
Speaker 1: you think into the sting you did the Thanksgiving one? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we never even did like Hanakha or anything. Um, maybe
Speaker 1: that's why we've done so many Christmas movies as a unit,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: Once I started doing those, and I was like, all
Speaker 1: it takes is working with someone you don't like once, um,
Speaker 1: and then you're just like, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be a bully and cast this myself and just cast
Speaker 1: all my friends, you know, and we started doing like
Speaker 1: Antoine was always my first phone call, d what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Oh? Yeah, We've got so many because you've
Speaker 1: done them. You did was the movie you did with
Speaker 1: Seawntell's husband Victor? Was that a Christmas? Right? Yep? Victor
Speaker 1: and I did? Oh no, wait was it was? Yes?
Speaker 1: It was five star Christmas. It was a Christmas movie.
Speaker 1: It was fun. Actually, we had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: And I've let's see one too. I think I've done
Speaker 1: three Christmas movies now, went with Andrew Walker one a
Speaker 1: long time ago. Uh, at three or four. They're fun.
Speaker 1: It's always fun. But but you know, we've got our
Speaker 1: I would love to have had a Christmas episode on
Speaker 1: One Tree Hill. Sure, that would have been really fun.
Speaker 1: Did you just like a holiday? Well, considering we're all related.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that joy, Like I didn't
Speaker 1: think about the fact that Peyton and Haley are sisters
Speaker 1: in law by the time I left, and then our
Speaker 1: kids are all each other's cousins. And I think the
Speaker 1: chaos of a Christmas morning with the Scott family would
Speaker 1: be pould have been fun. Yeah, wild, let's get into it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Did you guys go in like a
Speaker 1: snowy trip or something. Yeah, we all went to Utah
Speaker 1: and did I had an owl sit on my shoulder
Speaker 1: and that one did you terrifying Hillary? It was so scary.
Speaker 1: I've never I mean, I'm not scared of animals like everything,
Speaker 1: I'm very but the owl was so intimidating because you know,
Speaker 1: they don't blink, so it just is staring into your
Speaker 1: soul and those talents in the beak, and it's resting
Speaker 1: on my arm, and you know, one false move, like
Speaker 1: it could just decide it doesn't like me and then
Speaker 1: immediately pick my eyes out and I would have no
Speaker 1: self defense whatsoever. So I like that. It's the not
Speaker 1: blinking that makes you unsettled, like if a like dinosaur
Speaker 1: or a wolf, as long as it blinks you. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you if something does not blink, if it's
Speaker 1: like Elizabeth Holmes maybe watches interviews with her where she
Speaker 1: just stares she talks and her like her deep voice
Speaker 1: and just stares at you. Don't we got from Christmas
Speaker 1: to the no blink. But I appreciate a transition. So
Speaker 1: I love the starter question. I love where we ended. Yeah, genius,
Speaker 1: All right, what's the next question? Look at Amy wants
Speaker 1: to know when did you all realize that you weren't
Speaker 1: just work friends but more of this sister friendship. Did
Speaker 1: it happen at the same time for the three of
Speaker 1: you or did it happen first for two of you
Speaker 1: and then the third came along a little bit later.
Speaker 1: Well you want to give her the whole freaking journey.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I mean it's epic. I think we
Speaker 1: realized pretty much right away that there was a real
Speaker 1: kindred spirit connection. We're both super creative. We both have
Speaker 1: like really pretty handwriting and have to write notes and
Speaker 1: you know, daco page things, and we loved vintage shopping together.
Speaker 1: And what did you say? I said, We're always trying
Speaker 1: to out artsy farts at each other, Like hey, collage,
Speaker 1: I see your collage and I raised you a flower
Speaker 1: arrangement also, but also though I don't want people at home,
Speaker 1: I think especially a lot of young women feel this
Speaker 1: pressure with all their relationships, not just like romantic relationships,
Speaker 1: but also friendships as well. They think it's like this
Speaker 1: magic spell you know that you'll just know right away
Speaker 1: and it's love at first sight. And there is a
Speaker 1: lot of hard work that goes into relationships, the upkeep,
Speaker 1: the upkeep of relationship because there's always that spark at
Speaker 1: the beginning. But yeah, if you just expect it to
Speaker 1: be fair weather all the time, while you won't ever
Speaker 1: be much of a friend and you probably won't have
Speaker 1: many friends, no, And we both like I think to
Speaker 1: become an actor you have to come from kind of
Speaker 1: a weird background. Where as a child, you hung out
Speaker 1: with too many adults and you don't necessarily know how
Speaker 1: to talk to your own peers, and so there's that
Speaker 1: feeling of like, what, I don't know how to talk
Speaker 1: to girls my age And so I have had that too,
Speaker 1: because she didn't come from a real high school experience
Speaker 1: and she's talked about that a lot on the show.
Speaker 1: So learning how to be a good girlfriend I think
Speaker 1: we were lucky to be surrounded by older women on
Speaker 1: our show that we're like, no, you guys are going
Speaker 1: to need each other, not just today but forever. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: try and see the big picture. Whenever there was a problem,
Speaker 1: whenever somebody inadvertently hurt another person's feelings, to be able
Speaker 1: to have women around that reminded us, this too shall pass,
Speaker 1: and there's a bigger We have to have grace for
Speaker 1: each other. We have to make space for each other.
Speaker 1: And you know, you can't expect everything to be perfect
Speaker 1: all the time, but you have to look at the
Speaker 1: bigger picture of the fact that you're going to be
Speaker 1: in each other's lives for many, many years, and you'll,
Speaker 1: like you said, yeah, you'll you'll want to have each
Speaker 1: other there. I'm trying to think of, like I remember
Speaker 1: coming to your house after a boy dumped me and
Speaker 1: us like sitting out on your patio and like drinking
Speaker 1: tea and smoking like little like funny cigarettes like the
Speaker 1: super Skinny Kind and Brainbow Nash Charms with the gold filter,
Speaker 1: the Fantasious Fantasious, and I was just like, it's chicken,
Speaker 1: I are gonna be friends forever because you were angrier
Speaker 1: than I got dumped than I was. I was just like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm okay, and you're like, no, unacceptable, unacceptable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a magical afternoon. I was totally I love
Speaker 1: you too. Yeah, but so, yeah, the magic was pretty
Speaker 1: much right away. But it is so important to put
Speaker 1: time in show up. You just got to go through
Speaker 1: and and and go through ebbs and flows. I mean,
Speaker 1: I we've all been in and out of each other's
Speaker 1: lives for various reasons, and I'm so glad we're all
Speaker 1: back in each other's lives right now. But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: You gotta put the work in. You gotta do it.
Speaker 1: Caitlin wants to know when we have bands performed on
Speaker 1: the show at trick, did they actually play or is
Speaker 1: it silent and they mouth the words? Well, it'd be
Speaker 1: weird if it were silent and they were mouthing the
Speaker 1: words like that, it's uncomfortable for everyone. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: a big silent warehouse? Um, Well, but didn't they have
Speaker 1: to do that if they were in the background. But
Speaker 1: like you and maybe you and mouth had a scene
Speaker 1: where they had to have dialogue. You're right, I bet
Speaker 1: they did. I bet they had to just mouth it.
Speaker 1: They probably had like an ear earpiece or something with
Speaker 1: the song playing, so that fancy, I don't think you.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We probably weren't. No, no, but okay,
Speaker 1: explain to them, like why we have to have the
Speaker 1: mouth the words, because it's not that they're not good musicians,
Speaker 1: but there's technical no, the technical stuff that they have
Speaker 1: to be completely silent because the whole room must be
Speaker 1: completely silent when actors are speaking so the sound department
Speaker 1: can get the audio of the dialogue. So if you're
Speaker 1: doing a scene where that everybody's dancing and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of crowd movement and stuff and trick, and you're
Speaker 1: looking toward the stage maybe like over Hillary's shoulder to
Speaker 1: Lee's face, and the musician is on stage behind him,
Speaker 1: he's got to be it's pretending to sing, but he
Speaker 1: can't actually thin because we need to hear mouth's dialogue.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. They sometimes mouthed the
Speaker 1: words and it's silent and very strange. Well, and for
Speaker 1: editing purposes to like they have to sing along to
Speaker 1: the track because if they're just doing like acoustic willy
Speaker 1: nilly live stuff, being able to match it up from
Speaker 1: all the different angles. It'll never work, so it's always
Speaker 1: going to sound like it does on the radio on
Speaker 1: One Tree Hill. Did did anyone perform afterwards? Though? Like,
Speaker 1: because we hung out with a couple of people after
Speaker 1: the fact and would like see them perform. Sometimes they
Speaker 1: would just put in town or just at trick still
Speaker 1: like they just like roll some more songs for fun.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Actually, try to think if I can't remember, Wow,
Speaker 1: they missed the boat. We would have been telling a
Speaker 1: great story right now. Well, thanks for the question, Caitlin. Okay.
Speaker 1: Christina is up next. She wants to know what technique
Speaker 1: do you use to learn all your lines and how
Speaker 1: long does it take you to learn them? Do you
Speaker 1: have any tips for learning lines fast? What do you do? Hillary? Honestly,
Speaker 1: that training that I got at t r L was
Speaker 1: the best training ever because they would show you a
Speaker 1: cute card in a commercial break that lasted a minute
Speaker 1: in forty seconds, and either you knew it or you didn't,
Speaker 1: and if you didn't, you looked so dumb, So sink
Speaker 1: or swim? Do they still hold up the que card
Speaker 1: beside the camera? They do, but like that's what you
Speaker 1: use if you're not good. Um, So it's like SNL. Nowadays,
Speaker 1: it feels like it's totally acceptable when you When I
Speaker 1: watched Saturdayight Live, they're staring off at the card and
Speaker 1: looking off at it all the time. And it drives
Speaker 1: me crazy because that was not acceptable back in like
Speaker 1: the Danak or a Janeker and you know when those
Speaker 1: when those guys were doing it, they were they knew
Speaker 1: what they were doing. Yeah, it annoys me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: come on, step it up. You as a photographic memory, though,
Speaker 1: don't you. Don't you? I feel like you just look
Speaker 1: at it and you know stuff. Yeah, I say it
Speaker 1: out loud a couple of times and I and I
Speaker 1: know it. Unless the writing is bad. Um, if the
Speaker 1: writing is really bad, it's a lot harder for me
Speaker 1: to learn because it's just listening. All you have to
Speaker 1: do is like listen to what the other person has
Speaker 1: to say, and you should whatever however you're responding, should
Speaker 1: generally line up with what's on the page, give or
Speaker 1: take a couple of words. You know, Um, I can't
Speaker 1: wait for us to do another job together when you
Speaker 1: can't remember your lines and be like, it's not her,
Speaker 1: it's bad writing. It's so it's that's right, who did this?
Speaker 1: You know who did this to her? Um. Also, doctor
Speaker 1: shows and lawyer shows are hard because you have to
Speaker 1: learn that Sara or sci fi shows. I did one
Speaker 1: side Joy and I was just like, y'all not my jam.
Speaker 1: I know. Hey, Bachelor fans, it's Ben Higgins and it's
Speaker 1: Ashley I from the Almost Same As podcast. While July
Speaker 1: four is known for firecrackers, this year, July eleven will
Speaker 1: be firing off some love crackers when the new season
Speaker 1: of the Bachelorette returns to TV with not one, but
Speaker 1: two bachelorettes. I'm gonna be honest, that's not your best work.
Speaker 1: Word I lose you. I don't know love crackers. I
Speaker 1: knew it when it left my mouth. How about we
Speaker 1: just say the new season of the Bachelorette promises to
Speaker 1: have double the fireworks because Rachel and Gabby will both
Speaker 1: be competing to find love. Oh yeah, let's go with that. Thanks.
Speaker 1: And since we've all been waiting so long for this
Speaker 1: to get ready, we're bringing you NonStop exclusive content, interviews,
Speaker 1: and behind the scenes secrets all of Bachelor Nation. Juice
Speaker 1: you can handle. We're talking roses, tears, hookups, more tears.
Speaker 1: We've got all the insider info for the new season
Speaker 1: of The Bachelorette. Well, there's only one place to get it,
Speaker 1: and that's by listening to the Almost Famous podcast. You
Speaker 1: won't want to miss a thing, so subscribe to Day
Speaker 1: and start listening. We're starting the pre party now and
Speaker 1: we'll continue with coverage and breakdowns literally and figuratively throughout
Speaker 1: the entire season the Almost Famous Podcast. We're like your
Speaker 1: own personal fantasy suite for all things Bachelor and Bachelorrette.
Speaker 1: That is good, I learned from the best Kelsey is
Speaker 1: wanting to know after being on the show for so long,
Speaker 1: did we find it hard to escape the roles of
Speaker 1: Hailey Brook and Payton in order to move forward and
Speaker 1: playing other roles on TV? Yeah, for sure. Of course,
Speaker 1: anytime you watch a character someone play the same character
Speaker 1: for a long time and not do a lot of
Speaker 1: other things at the same time, that's hard to break out.
Speaker 1: And we were on that show coming up in a
Speaker 1: time when there still wasn't a ton of crossover between
Speaker 1: TV and film, So by the time all that crossover
Speaker 1: stuff was happening, we had already been on the air
Speaker 1: for at least six years and Um, it was just
Speaker 1: a little harder to make that transition, and I definitely
Speaker 1: felt that when the show was over, and I remember
Speaker 1: coming back to l A and going, okay, like I
Speaker 1: just got off a hit show. Let's get to work
Speaker 1: and it was crickets. It was like, I was really
Speaker 1: lucky to get some guest spots and a couple of
Speaker 1: other things. Did Dexter that was so cool. I did
Speaker 1: Land Dexter that was killer at partner but mom jokes, Um,
Speaker 1: I did get to do a few really cool things,
Speaker 1: which was exciting, but it wasn't nearly as much as
Speaker 1: I uh expected that I would get. And I learned
Speaker 1: some pretty valuable lessons and was following four years really yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I disappeared for a whole year after,
Speaker 1: like I went, yeah, I met someone had a baby.
Speaker 1: No one knew I had a baby, gave birth, was
Speaker 1: months out before anybody figured out that I had done
Speaker 1: all that, So I went into to lockdown hiding. Did
Speaker 1: you find that it was? I mean, you were you
Speaker 1: were only on the show for four years, so it's
Speaker 1: a little harder to kind of peg you as one
Speaker 1: particular person because people really knew us. Peyton only for
Speaker 1: that period of time rather than like the full tent.
Speaker 1: You know, ten years is a really long time for everybody.
Speaker 1: I did six and was like Sea Guys. Later. I
Speaker 1: was also able to do write other stuff while I
Speaker 1: was doing One Tree Hill, Like, yeah, I made friends
Speaker 1: with the local casting directors and would do literally any
Speaker 1: movie that came through town. I was just like, yes,
Speaker 1: Little Britain signed me up. Secret Life of Bees, sign
Speaker 1: me up that movie. But like Christian movie, the list
Speaker 1: signed me up, Like I'll literally anything that's here. Um,
Speaker 1: so smart that you did that. And they were little teeny,
Speaker 1: teeny tiny rolls. But those relationships that you make when
Speaker 1: you you know, I would have to swallow my ego
Speaker 1: a little bit to do these, like you know, the
Speaker 1: Secret Levybies. I didn't even have any lines in that,
Speaker 1: you know, but the people I met were great. Um.
Speaker 1: When I finally did go back to work, it was
Speaker 1: white collar, which thank god, was such a different part.
Speaker 1: I don't know, very different. It was super different. And
Speaker 1: you know, I've said it so many times. Tiffany Theson
Speaker 1: helped me not get a chip on my shoulder about
Speaker 1: the teen drama stuff. She's like, don't do it. Don't
Speaker 1: be a bit Hillary. That show made you, it paid
Speaker 1: your mortgage, it put your brothers through school. Don't be
Speaker 1: a dick. I was like, Okay, yes, you're right. UM's
Speaker 1: I think people still now expect me to be really grumpy.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's the Peyton or the Hillary, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know which which thing put
Speaker 1: that into their mindset. Just the right amount of grumpy
Speaker 1: grumpy Hannah wants to know. I love. There's so many
Speaker 1: technical questions when a character is drinking from a cup.
Speaker 1: Why is the cup always so obviously empty? You can't
Speaker 1: just put water in it? Do you can't water in it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I put water in it. Do you feel like, um,
Speaker 1: when you're a young actor, you you're too sensitive or
Speaker 1: you're too insecure to like ask and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you put a little water in here? Because I
Speaker 1: feel like it's an older person, I'm always like, what
Speaker 1: is this? There's empty cup. It's usually only with the
Speaker 1: coffee cups that have the lid on them, because if
Speaker 1: it's a mug or something else, you I mean at
Speaker 1: this point, also, prop departments always just ask me what
Speaker 1: do you want in your cup? Do you want real cough,
Speaker 1: do you want t do you want water? What do
Speaker 1: you want? Um? So, I don't know if that is
Speaker 1: that still happening out there in the world empty cups
Speaker 1: if someone wants to make box is happening empty We
Speaker 1: just did the moving in episode of like Brooke and
Speaker 1: Haley moving into the apartment, and I came in with
Speaker 1: a box that was massive but so obviously empty. Either
Speaker 1: I'm four or that was bad. Um. Alright, Hannah, make
Speaker 1: a montage of all the empty cups on one tree hill.
Speaker 1: We'll laugh about it. Do it? Okay? Last one? Here
Speaker 1: we have Danielle. She says, Season three first episode opens
Speaker 1: right where season two finale ends. Did you guys film
Speaker 1: both episodes around the same time, or did you finish
Speaker 1: filming season to go on hiatus and then recreate the
Speaker 1: same scene for season three. Oh, I don't remember what
Speaker 1: she's talking about. You I did. We just watch you
Speaker 1: because I had to wear a wig. Um. I caught
Speaker 1: all my hairrow and everybody did weird with their hair.
Speaker 1: We came back and started like a pickup. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was the fire. It was Dan Scott. So like the fire,
Speaker 1: they only did once the big, huge, expensive stuff they
Speaker 1: did once and then they really wanted to milk it,
Speaker 1: you know, and make it last more than one episode.
Speaker 1: But no, my stuff was totally spread apart. Um. I mean,
Speaker 1: and you were coming back from tour, right, I think so.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think there was anything during a
Speaker 1: direct match. Baby, we had the hiatus. We lived for hiatus, well,
Speaker 1: twenty two episodes. There is a lot. Yeah, no, what
Speaker 1: nobody does that anymore? I mean it was It really
Speaker 1: did feel like high school because we would start shooting
Speaker 1: at the end of August and we would shoot through
Speaker 1: like May, which is the real school year, and then
Speaker 1: we take our summers off and everyone would go do
Speaker 1: cool stuff. And then when we come back together, it
Speaker 1: was always a party. Oh yeah, these are good questions.
Speaker 1: Lots of technical stuff. Maybe we should teach one of
Speaker 1: those master classes. What do you kids want to know
Speaker 1: how to hit the mark? Um? All right, you guys,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for these questions. Keep them coming
