Speaker 3: Colin's here to make it better.
Speaker 6: So thank god because we just wept through six queer us.
Speaker 3: Okay, Sophia, tell him, tell him what we watch.
Speaker 6: Guys, we watched season six, episode twenty two, Show Me
Speaker 6: How to Live. It aired May fourth, two thousand and nine. Colin,
Speaker 6: do you want to hit your little your little chat
Speaker 6: icon and read us the synopsis?
Speaker 1: You know I do. Brooke and Haley throw Peyton a
Speaker 1: baby shower while Sam grows closer to Victoria, Lucas and
Speaker 1: Jamie bond while working on Peyton's car, and Nathan learns
Speaker 1: that NBA Scouts will be at his next game. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Antoine and Lauren go on a date that goes all
Speaker 1: We're wrong. Directed by James Lafferty.
Speaker 5: James's first episode, There we Go.
Speaker 3: That's crazy. How old was he in two thousand and nine?
Speaker 4: Like twenty two was he?
Speaker 1: It's like, it's insane seeing everybody this the episodes, I mean,
Speaker 1: and especially like especially the dudes for some reason, because
Speaker 1: like and I'm not I'm not blowing smoke, but you
Speaker 1: ladies are have are very unchanged to me.
Speaker 4: I mean, more smoke, please, thank you?
Speaker 5: You go right ahead.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's it's true, but I mean, and
Speaker 1: I look at like all these dudes in there awkward
Speaker 1: still like we're still becoming phase.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I liked this episode because everybody had something
Speaker 3: to do, and even though it was really like everybody
Speaker 3: was doing something a little different, especially Brooke and her
Speaker 3: spy wardrobe and the Dunkin Donuts commercial.
Speaker 6: It's like the full head scarf and.
Speaker 4: The loved it.
Speaker 3: But I was like, all right, well now that that's out,
Speaker 3: of the way she could focus on her dramatic arc
Speaker 3: of trying to adopt a child.
Speaker 4: Loved it.
Speaker 5: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Troubled Sam.
Speaker 3: I know. Yeah, having everybody have their own storyline is
Speaker 3: always really fun. And I love the Boys Apartment. We
Speaker 3: do this thing on the show Colin where we give
Speaker 3: honorable mentions and I can't tell you how many times
Speaker 3: the Boys in the Apartment has gotten the honorable mention.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the couch dwellers. Yeah, it's just.
Speaker 4: The realist part of the show.
Speaker 3: You know, Sophia's trying to adopt a teenager and who
Speaker 3: knows what Peyton's doing, you know, and the boys are
Speaker 3: just eating pizza playing video games.
Speaker 5: It's so nice, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Especially with some people in their early twenties, which our
Speaker 6: characters are supposed to be. Like Brooke Davis runs this giant,
Speaker 6: multi million dollar company, and Nathan's in the NBA, and
Speaker 6: everybody's buying houses, and like even even you guys like
Speaker 6: Lucas and Peyton are just.
Speaker 5: Living in a house.
Speaker 6: His mom was like, you can have this kid, I'm
Speaker 6: going off on a yacht. Like it's so silly, And
Speaker 6: thank god we've got some boys who are roommates ordering pizza,
Speaker 6: cause you know, we were all trying to figure out
Speaker 6: like how to be and pay rent and stuff, and.
Speaker 4: We didn't know, we didn't know anything.
Speaker 5: And I love that.
Speaker 6: I love that we have some characters that are based
Speaker 6: in reality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the truth of arrested development and.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, is it even arrested. It's actually like normal,
Speaker 3: a natural progression.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what I was doing in twenty two
Speaker 1: and only you know, I always I think there is
Speaker 1: this implication that that some paraphernalia had just been set
Speaker 1: down before the camera had us, Like, I don't like
Speaker 1: it often, like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fun. I wonder what, like what were junks
Speaker 3: goals in high school? Like did he ever have a
Speaker 3: crush on someone? We didn't see a lot of junks, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like secrets. So what was the backstory that you created
Speaker 3: in your head?
Speaker 1: Okay? I I wish that I was that thoughtful back then.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I could make something up right now.
Speaker 4: You were like, I'm just here for the craft service.
Speaker 5: I love it here.
Speaker 3: What do you want me?
Speaker 1: What do you want me to say? Flippantly? Okay? I
Speaker 1: mean I'm sure junk. Did you know there's like and
Speaker 1: and I think I think I did just have like
Speaker 1: this Junk was just like anyone just smng something because anything.
Speaker 1: There was one thing of like a brief element of
Speaker 1: me showing a picture and I don't remember of whom
Speaker 1: two to the guys saying, oh, it's this girl I
Speaker 1: met at camp. She lives in Canada. And you know,
Speaker 1: it was the It was the bullsh I love that thing.
Speaker 1: That junk just has this imaginary this imaginary girlfriend somewhere.
Speaker 3: But by the way, that happens until my wedding, everyone
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, Hillary, I'm sure you have a boyfriend.
Speaker 3: And that was the first time anyone met Jeffrey. They
Speaker 3: were like, oh, he's real crazy. It's been a decade.
Speaker 3: People do that all the time. We bought it totally normal. Okay, well, Peyton,
Speaker 3: all she's ever wanted to do since high school is
Speaker 3: Mary Lucas Scott and have his baby.
Speaker 4: And here we are. It's gonna kill her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what is that metaphor?
Speaker 3: Girl?
Speaker 4: I don't know the thing that you want is going
Speaker 4: to kill you? Kill you weird.
Speaker 1: Set your sight's low, Like just be like Junk and
Speaker 1: just let life happen.
Speaker 5: Just be along for the ride.
Speaker 6: You know what I love And this This is what
Speaker 6: I was starting to expand on when I realized I
Speaker 6: was no longer even on the zoom. I was just
Speaker 6: talking to myself. But the container for this episode and
Speaker 6: probably the reason that I sobbed the whole thing opening
Speaker 6: the show on you, like Michael Keaton in my life.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, good look and this sort of
Speaker 6: beautiful thing like we always did these season enders, you
Speaker 6: know that that had a big story, and this for you,
Speaker 6: I thought it was just so impactful and God, you're
Speaker 6: so good sitting like trying to keep it together talking
Speaker 6: to that video camera.
Speaker 5: And James did such a good job with this episode, like.
Speaker 6: You can feel the container of Peyton's experience doing what
Speaker 6: you're doing on screen with that box for the baby,
Speaker 6: and I love that it turns in meaning for Lucas
Speaker 6: thanks to Jamie. He's like, your whole life's in that box.
Speaker 6: I wish I had one of those. And he gets it,
Speaker 6: he gets what you're doing and it shifts everything. But
Speaker 6: this this sort of sad happy duality you played so
Speaker 6: beautifully and I and I think you guys designed you know,
Speaker 6: the whole episode around it so well. I mean, even
Speaker 6: the baby shower, It's like happy and it's really sad
Speaker 6: all the same time.
Speaker 3: It was Peyton's saying goodbye to everyone, right.
Speaker 5: Well, and that's why I kept sobbing.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh god, it was a cool way
Speaker 3: to see everyone, to see like our friends from the
Speaker 3: River Court, to see you know, Haley and Nathan. If
Speaker 3: you ever want a mom and dad fix like, go
Speaker 3: to them.
Speaker 4: Make sure you.
Speaker 3: Pick the best best friend. These are the songs you're
Speaker 3: gonna listen to.
Speaker 4: It really was.
Speaker 3: A way for Peyton to touch on everything because I mean,
Speaker 3: in my mind filming this, let's just get to the
Speaker 3: behind the scenes start. In my mind filming this, they're
Speaker 3: gonna kill me, right, Is that what you thought, Colin?
Speaker 4: Were you? Like, they're killing those chicks. She's dead me.
Speaker 1: It's done, and they're letting her do it. You know,
Speaker 1: they're letting her do it poetically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just gonna put her on a raft, push
Speaker 3: her down the river.
Speaker 4: She's gonna be fine.
Speaker 3: Peyton is saying goodbye to everyone because we were in
Speaker 3: contract renegotiations and this is a this is a signal
Speaker 3: to Hillary, you're dead, babe, Like we're done.
Speaker 4: And I was just you.
Speaker 3: Know, you get the script and You're like.
Speaker 5: Huh, You're like, oh, this is what it's like.
Speaker 3: We discussed in the last episode how when Chad and
Speaker 3: I were shooting the last episode, that's when they announced
Speaker 3: that the show was coming back, but they had not
Speaker 3: offered either of us contracts, and it was basically them
Speaker 3: being like, we're good, you can leave, and we were
Speaker 3: just like.
Speaker 4: Well, right, cool story.
Speaker 3: So then, well I finished filming and I was like,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm gonna do in this situation. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go back home to Stirling Park and I'm probably
Speaker 3: gonna go kiss some dudes from high school and have
Speaker 3: a couple of beers, and then I'm gonna figure out
Speaker 3: a plan. And so remember we had our Southern Gothic Productions,
Speaker 3: the production company that I started down there, Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: and you had just made a movie with Nick Austin
Speaker 3: and I, you know, like we were doing fun stuff.
Speaker 3: But I had, before social media, a production web page.
Speaker 3: Remember when we had like vlogs, yep, the world of
Speaker 3: the vlog.
Speaker 1: I remember when people hadlogs.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: So I was like, I'm just I'm going to post
Speaker 3: a vlog because news has been out that the show's
Speaker 3: getting picked up.
Speaker 4: But I'm not.
Speaker 3: So I posted a video that you know, has like
Speaker 3: so many views on the internet at this point where
Speaker 3: I was like, I have no control over the creative
Speaker 3: and I'm really sad. I love Peyton, I'm not coming back,
Speaker 3: but still watching the show.
Speaker 4: It was a big deal.
Speaker 5: It was a really big deal.
Speaker 4: And it dispelled those rumors of.
Speaker 3: Someone and someone had gone to the press and put
Speaker 3: out all these rumors that I wasn't coming back because
Speaker 3: I was demanding lots of money and being difficult, when
Speaker 3: in reality, I was willing to take less money so
Speaker 3: that all the other actors could get favored nations and
Speaker 3: get paid more.
Speaker 4: And so I was but heard about that.
Speaker 3: So I put out this video and then I get
Speaker 3: this script and I'm like, what, okay, fine, I'm gone,
Speaker 3: like what more do you.
Speaker 4: Want for me?
Speaker 3: So James is directing, and he's you know, twenty two,
Speaker 3: maybe twenty three years old.
Speaker 4: If we were twenty.
Speaker 3: Six when this happened, how much younger is James four
Speaker 3: four years?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: So he's twenty two and he's doing a beautiful job,
Speaker 3: and I see how important it is to him and
Speaker 3: how much we need to keep the drama at Bay like,
Speaker 3: we just need to show up and do our jobs.
Speaker 3: And so Chad comes and he's ready to cry, and
Speaker 3: I show up and I've got to cry and everything
Speaker 3: seeing and our boss finally crawled out from under his
Speaker 3: rock and came to set in the middle of Peyton
Speaker 3: having to do the video confessionals, and it's not lunch break,
Speaker 3: it's not any kind of break.
Speaker 4: And I hear, all.
Speaker 3: Right, we're gonna be taking a twenty minute break, and
Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh no, and he calls me into
Speaker 3: the kitchen set and you guys don't remember that set, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: the walls go up, they go up like nine feet,
Speaker 3: but then it's just open air so you can hear
Speaker 3: every conversation. I get my ass chewed for twenty to
Speaker 3: thirty minutes for everybody to hear you're gonna take that
Speaker 3: video down, You're gonna take how dare you?
Speaker 4: You're gonna take video down?
Speaker 3: And I'm just like, you know, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna take it down.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna do any of it.
Speaker 3: And so against the background of Peyton having to do
Speaker 3: all this very sad stuff is just bedlam going on.
Speaker 4: And I was like, okay, all right, I want to
Speaker 4: go to the boys set. I want to eat pizza.
Speaker 3: I want to pick up whatever paraphernalia the boys have
Speaker 3: on their set because everything seems so much safer over there.
Speaker 6: Can I get a slice and a water gun? Like
Speaker 6: I want to get out of here?
Speaker 5: Give me there?
Speaker 3: It was crazy, and so watching this episode back, I'm like,
Speaker 3: we did a really good job for this much crazy.
Speaker 6: We did a really good job. And you know what's wild?
Speaker 6: Like God, you talking about that? It gives me chills.
Speaker 4: The public ass chewing is always did you ever get
Speaker 4: one of those.
Speaker 1: Colored not not on that show?
Speaker 4: They feel?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just just I mean what what what
Speaker 1: could I do on that show that weren't I mean.
Speaker 4: No, but ask for more for some other I mean.
Speaker 1: No, not like that? And how how she? And just
Speaker 1: how sorry?
Speaker 4: You were a safe boy?
Speaker 6: You sure were, And it was interesting because you guys
Speaker 6: were obviously having your storyline, but with all of us
Speaker 6: girls with you. This episode was really when it hit
Speaker 6: me that this was like happening. We were trying to
Speaker 6: to do things as a block. We were you know,
Speaker 6: we had learned, which was obviously the network's nightmare. We
Speaker 6: learned the lessons not to say that we were ever
Speaker 6: gonna get paid what they did. But like we were like, oh,
Speaker 6: if the Friends cast negotiated as a.
Speaker 4: Group, well guys, we're just like friends would be on.
Speaker 1: The coffee shop.
Speaker 5: Guys. You know you would have been Chandler.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're so funny, but like.
Speaker 6: When things were happening behind the scenes and you were like, oh,
Speaker 6: they're gonna they're they're going to like blow up the plan.
Speaker 6: There are people who've blown up our plan, and and
Speaker 6: particularly for you and I like this is when you
Speaker 6: know Brook and Peyton and me and.
Speaker 1: You like people as in other cast members that blew
Speaker 1: it up.
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna keep it classy.
Speaker 6: But you know, uh we we Hillary and I were
Speaker 6: so enmeshed, and during this episode it hit me and
Speaker 6: and being there for our boss saying all the terrible
Speaker 6: things in the open air that like I was like,
Speaker 6: oh my god, this is really happening, Like she They're
Speaker 6: really this isn't like a tactic that like is this
Speaker 6: really gonna be real? They're not really gonna let them leave,
Speaker 6: Like this can't be real. And I remember sitting in
Speaker 6: that baby shower with you and just being like, but
Speaker 6: you make everything better for me, And we were having
Speaker 6: this like insanely surreal experience where we were grieving on
Speaker 6: camera and having to be like, it's gonna be okay,
Speaker 6: but it's never going to be okay.
Speaker 5: And and yeah, like we didn't know if Peyton.
Speaker 6: Was even going to live, like, you know, were they
Speaker 6: going to do the dirty thing? When like, you know,
Speaker 6: somebody on a cop show does something bad and then
Speaker 6: they get shot and they die.
Speaker 4: Is that how it worked, Colin? Is that how it works?
Speaker 4: You get to kill a long and actors? No, No,
Speaker 4: I don't get I don't.
Speaker 1: She doesn't kill anybody. It was almost me in season
Speaker 1: one of Lot about our banks and not not Adina Porter.
Speaker 4: Who'd you piss off?
Speaker 1: I've I've No, I didn't.
Speaker 4: Good for you?
Speaker 1: I did I did something that kept me around. I
Speaker 1: don't know good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're lovely, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: That's I'm lovely.
Speaker 3: But isn't it crazy how your behavior behind the scenes
Speaker 3: or just like the circumstances you're wrapped up in affect
Speaker 3: what happens to your character because it's like do we
Speaker 3: want more of this?
Speaker 4: Do we want less of this?
Speaker 3: They kept Junk around for nine years, like yeah, Junk
Speaker 3: could have died at any moment.
Speaker 4: We were killing all sorts of people.
Speaker 1: Jump Junk almost disappeared like season three years season season
Speaker 1: two or three. And I found out because I went
Speaker 1: to I was going, I was delivering a grip or
Speaker 1: electric equipment equipment to one of the stages and was
Speaker 1: asking for you know, I don't remember how I got
Speaker 1: a script, going I get a script. I was looking
Speaker 1: and I started seeing that Fergie was showing up in
Speaker 1: episodes without me, and it was always smoking fire right,
Speaker 1: it was always Fergy and Junk. I was like, funs
Speaker 1: in this episode, and and I'm not just okay, let's kids.
Speaker 1: He's going on this little adventure. That's cool. And but
Speaker 1: after a while it was just silence, and so I
Speaker 1: emailed and I said, hey, just curious, like if if
Speaker 1: things have run their course, they've run their course. I
Speaker 1: just I would like to be apprized. And and the
Speaker 1: response came back like, yeah, I don't know that we
Speaker 1: have really a a solid point of view for your character.
Speaker 1: I don't know this and that, and then and then
Speaker 1: the the final blow.
Speaker 7: The and there's this age difference, and you know, you
Speaker 7: don't really it's hard to sell you as things.
Speaker 3: You failed two grades.
Speaker 4: Guys, what do you want from him?
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was trying.
Speaker 1: Things are happening physiologically with you. No, I mean that
Speaker 1: was not said aloud, but but but I wrote back.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, I said, Okay, I get it. I said,
Speaker 1: but how about I said what I said, I've never
Speaker 1: been established as a high school student. I said, I've
Speaker 1: been at the River Court games. I said, you never
Speaker 1: see me in the hallways with a backpack, You never
Speaker 1: like total I'm not in class. I said, what if
Speaker 1: I'm like the kind of weird older guy at the
Speaker 1: at the River Court that just they can't let go
Speaker 1: of high school and they only and can only have
Speaker 1: the high school friends that like to play ball away.
Speaker 1: That was like, what if I'm the guy that that
Speaker 1: gets the beer? What if I'm I'm the guy that
Speaker 1: gets the beer? What if I'm the guy yourself? And
Speaker 1: I was like, and I did that and I said that,
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, yeah, I'll think about it. And
Speaker 1: so when I got when they brought me back, I
Speaker 1: was kind of rolling with that assumption, like Okay, that's
Speaker 1: who I am, And it gave me some perspective. But
Speaker 1: then they put me in prom and then then they
Speaker 1: had me graduating. I'm like, but I thought I was
Speaker 1: the guy. I thought it was cool.
Speaker 5: I thought I was the weird dude.
Speaker 3: By the way, I remember that guy from high school,
Speaker 3: the guy that buys beer for the freshman, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah somebody's older brothers. Yeah, friend and yeah.
Speaker 3: I went home for my book tour and he showed
Speaker 3: up and I was like, You're still buying beer forever?
Speaker 5: This is incredible?
Speaker 3: Is who you were forever?
Speaker 1: Love that guy that hangs out outside the Kroger, just
Speaker 1: waiting for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, you need something, you need anything? I was
Speaker 4: just going inside anyway. I never do the Kroger.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: I loved it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know this that. It was saddish.
Speaker 1: It was so everybody was almost crying. It was sad
Speaker 1: and sweet, and and it reminded me what a good
Speaker 1: what a good little actor. Jackson was too. My boys
Speaker 1: are acting now, and I'm trying, how old was Jackson?
Speaker 1: Do you think when we shot that?
Speaker 5: I think he's just eight.
Speaker 1: He was eight.
Speaker 4: He was six when he started, so he was eight here, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, but he was great and all that. And Hillary, Yeah,
Speaker 1: y'all you handled out just beautifully, especially knowing about this
Speaker 1: open air reaming that God, oh happened.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what a terrible temper I have, And
Speaker 3: so just like you know how much strength it takes
Speaker 3: to not tap into a terrible temper, the restraint just
Speaker 3: for a Southern woman to not go nuts.
Speaker 6: Especially when somebody's standing in front of you, like pushing
Speaker 6: the big red button.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, sitting at that kitchen table. And I
Speaker 3: want to say it was Steve Allen again that like
Speaker 3: shuffled through the window was like a broom, right, just
Speaker 3: like just like get up, just to like be like, oh,
Speaker 3: I didn't know you guys were having a serious conversation.
Speaker 3: Like that was always the card he would play, like oops,
Speaker 3: I had no idea something was going on anyway.
Speaker 4: Do you hear the head Taketos like service right now?
Speaker 3: I mean, he was so wonderful doing stuff like that
Speaker 3: all the time. And so I got out of this
Speaker 3: ass reaming. But can you imagine if it had been
Speaker 3: any other director than James, like sweet baby James. No,
Speaker 3: they totally took advantage of the fact it was his
Speaker 3: first episode to be like, hey, we got to take
Speaker 3: a thirty minute ask chewing break can you just stand
Speaker 3: by and lose thirty minutes of shooting time.
Speaker 5: Go outside and find something to stare at.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's a.
Speaker 1: Ball, and then proceed as if it didn't happen and
Speaker 1: do the repair work that's necessary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go hit your mark, say the words now, good luck,
Speaker 3: we're on your tighter coverage. It was such a good
Speaker 3: learning experience, but he kept the I mean I think
Speaker 3: that would have thrown anybody else, and because he didn't
Speaker 3: have anything to compare it to, it was just like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we're going to go now, and was great. I mean,
Speaker 3: he was so calm that you couldn't help but be calm.
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, well that's done.
Speaker 6: And I think there was really something too about having
Speaker 6: one of us sort of holding the container together during
Speaker 6: that because the whole experience was so surreal, and I
Speaker 6: think everyone was at different stages of like this isn't
Speaker 6: really happening right, like they're with us and and to it.
Speaker 6: I actually think it worked in our favor to have
Speaker 6: it be one of us running the show instead of
Speaker 6: like an adult who we had to pretend like the
Speaker 6: things were normal with. I think there I think there's
Speaker 6: some there's obviously a lot of emotion in the undercurrents
Speaker 6: of the episode that you can see that plays really beautifully.
Speaker 6: But I think part of the reason that the episode
Speaker 6: as sad as it is, also feels like a hug
Speaker 6: is because we were in a safe container with our friend.
Speaker 4: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: And then you know, even the conversations that Nathan like
Speaker 3: the boy relationships on their show.
Speaker 4: I love so much, Nathan and Lucas together.
Speaker 6: In the garage, leaning on the comet.
Speaker 4: Broing out being guys? Is that how guys really talk?
Speaker 1: Colin Just dudes being dudes, be and dudesby.
Speaker 6: And dudes, except we sing it and you get to
Speaker 6: be more of a dude if you're in a gage.
Speaker 1: Oh you mean non theater guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Mean you weren't a total jock growing up. You don't
Speaker 4: know how bros get down.
Speaker 1: I played soccer. Uh uh, that's how bros get down.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Over the comet it is, I mean, I believe it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad was a real man.
Speaker 3: You only need one, you know, you just have that
Speaker 3: one shining example and then for the whole rest of
Speaker 3: your life you can grow out. And Nathan and Lucas
Speaker 3: had Uncle Keith who taught them to brow out.
Speaker 4: Did you film with Craig?
Speaker 1: I did rarely, I've filmed. He was I remember I
Speaker 1: was working Club Trick when he when he was dating
Speaker 1: what's uh his character was dating? Yeah jewels, yes, jewels.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Craig was great. Who was my guy on set?
Speaker 4: Just like, who is your elder bro?
Speaker 1: I mean Mike rail h He's not that elder. I
Speaker 1: mean I don't know, you know, I mean who I
Speaker 1: loved and I honestly got like the only person that
Speaker 1: that like made me a little nervous was Berry, like
Speaker 1: just cause you know, I'm like, that was the that
Speaker 1: was the face that I knew, and that and was
Speaker 1: the season vetter I'd loved Lonesome Dove and and war
Speaker 1: Games and and and Northern Exposure totally was like Maurice's here.
Speaker 1: They have gone forward, you know whatever?
Speaker 4: I love?

Speaker 5: I would please.
Speaker 3: We're doing a prequel Young White and Camilla Camilla coming Home?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh that's got my wheels turned.
Speaker 1: And one one mentor Michael Dinner. I'm just I just
Speaker 1: put the name out there, not really I just it
Speaker 1: was just the one director that wasn't should.
Speaker 3: Remember from our show or just in life?
Speaker 1: Did he direct our show once? Didn't he?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know that name. Well, then we've missed out.
Speaker 4: We missed out.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we've got ten minutes left with you because
Speaker 3: you're going to do something.
Speaker 4: Are you want to do something?
Speaker 5: Fun?
Speaker 1: I'm going to go it's uh my, my boy. Emmett
Speaker 1: is turning eight tomorrow, so we're going to his school
Speaker 1: and we were doing that slide show celebrating our boy
Speaker 1: at Montassory School thing.
Speaker 4: Is he the one who's doing a Christmas Carol? Is
Speaker 4: he acting?
Speaker 1: That was Louie?
Speaker 3: They both that was Louie.
Speaker 4: Okay, Louie.
Speaker 1: Louie did a Christmas Carol? And Emmett right now is
Speaker 1: working on he's got a recurring role in this show
Speaker 1: that's shooting in Charlotte. He's got The Hunting Wives he's
Speaker 1: working on that.
Speaker 6: He's doing that show Britney Snow, Yeah, he's Britney's son.
Speaker 1: Fun. That's crazy.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, I can't wait to text her after this.
Speaker 3: You guys, we have infiltrated every production in the Southeast,
Speaker 3: like boy.
Speaker 1: Exciting, really wild. So it was it was interesting watching
Speaker 1: Jackson on this and thinking about the parallels and Jackson
Speaker 1: having got started at six and and this stuff. Em
Speaker 1: it's done some like he's done an indie feature and
Speaker 1: the indie short and stuff, but this is like the
Speaker 1: first like big scale thing that he's done. And Louie
Speaker 1: has done a couple of things. Now yeah, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's the right thing.
Speaker 4: And look at Barbara's kids. I mean, you and your
Speaker 4: wife are both actress like.
Speaker 1: Barbara's kids like that that is that is that I
Speaker 1: think is a singular thing. I mean that they're they're
Speaker 1: amazing and and I think that that's and they they're
Speaker 1: probably an exception to the rule. Like there's just well adjusted,
Speaker 1: but so are you.
Speaker 3: That's why everyone calls you for their projects because you.
Speaker 4: You just bring up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you bring a little bit of glimmer to everything
Speaker 3: that you do. It makes everything feel full on our
Speaker 3: show when your character is there. And I know you
Speaker 3: lend that to other productions that you're a part of.
Speaker 3: And so if there was a storyline in this episode
Speaker 3: you want to junk to infiltrate which one we talked,
Speaker 3: We got Nathan with the NBA. We've got Brooke trying
Speaker 3: to get this teenager to be her daughter. We've got
Speaker 3: Peyton's gonna down her. Go if it loves you, it
Speaker 3: will come back. Which storyline is Junk inserting himself in?
Speaker 4: What if we find out that Junk is Sam's dad?
Speaker 1: There you go, that's it. That's all right, you just
Speaker 1: answered it for me? And who was?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: I saw in the credits of this that that Juliette
Speaker 1: Cesario plays Sam plays birth mom and Juliette Juliette was
Speaker 1: a theater friend of mine in Wilmington. But I never
Speaker 1: saw her in the episode, so they must they must
Speaker 1: have cut her.
Speaker 4: Well, they show her in other episodes.
Speaker 6: Okay, they only really show Sam and then me and
Speaker 6: Sam and then in this episode me watching her. So
Speaker 6: it's a lot of like looking in over her shoulder.
Speaker 6: There's a cute little diner scene of them sitting in
Speaker 6: the Dixie grill, but Sam's facing camera and you're and
Speaker 6: Juliette is facing Sam.
Speaker 5: So it's a lot in the back of her head.
Speaker 6: Sweet angel, she like really came in and did a
Speaker 6: lot of work to be in mostly mos scenes.
Speaker 3: It's a missed opportunity, because all I could think is
Speaker 3: what a mom. This lady is making this child come
Speaker 3: alone at night, bring her own bags in, whear it up,
Speaker 3: pick her up?
Speaker 1: This is like this is like before for Uber and
Speaker 1: before and when I was I was just wondering.
Speaker 5: When you're like why didn't I drive her to that house.
Speaker 1: You're like, bye, And she walks out the door, and
Speaker 1: then you see her at walking and You're like, is
Speaker 1: she is she walking?
Speaker 5: Walking? Yeah?
Speaker 4: By the way, I love that.
Speaker 6: Brooks like, I'm gonna love you forever. You always have
Speaker 6: a home here. I'm always gonna do what's best for you.
Speaker 6: I'm like, but you can't give a kid a ride?
Speaker 4: No, but like, who made this decision? Much money? Would
Speaker 4: you have paid?
Speaker 3: Though? If when she got to the house, the door
Speaker 3: opens and it's Junk with his arm around her, Mom
Speaker 3: like this, I.
Speaker 1: Know you come back to haunt me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love incredible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's my boyfriend. He brought some pizza over.
Speaker 5: We're gonna hang out.
Speaker 4: I mean skills.
Speaker 3: Date got infiltrated by this Chuck kid who has such
Speaker 3: good comedic timing.
Speaker 5: He is so funny.
Speaker 1: Michael may Great, who went on to play Lee the
Speaker 1: brother of the youngest brother of Lee Norris and myself
Speaker 1: and blood dun't signed my name God Tim Tyson, the
Speaker 1: Tim Tyson memoir that got made into a movie with
Speaker 1: Rick Schroeder.
Speaker 5: But then the Treo Gang.
Speaker 1: But it was crazy. Yeah, like that we played siblings
Speaker 1: in this. We were horrible horrible family were the Teal
Speaker 1: brothers who were awful and racist and did committed murder.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but fun fact about checking.
Speaker 6: I love that Michael May's start comes in this episode.
Speaker 6: And this is also the inception of I Got Chucked,
Speaker 6: which which really was, you know, a piece of verbiage
Speaker 6: that lasted for a long time on our show, and
Speaker 6: I loved it. And I love that Michael May just
Speaker 6: committed even as a little boy. He was like, you
Speaker 6: want me to be the worst, Okay, I'll do it.
Speaker 6: I'll manage to be cute, even with a little chucky
Speaker 6: ventriloquist doll.
Speaker 5: You're gonna love me and you won't know why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you and they were already they were like
Speaker 1: already kind of whispers of the what was what led
Speaker 1: up to a very special episode because you know, when
Speaker 1: she's like his mom, which was thrown away as a
Speaker 1: as a joke in this episode, but then yeah, it
Speaker 1: comes into this like he's from this horrible, abusive family
Speaker 1: and that happens a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Alison Moune really did just make a little joke
Speaker 3: about drinking drinking mommy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to hang with this kid whose mom's
Speaker 1: not around, because.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it goes dark.
Speaker 3: Beware the seeds that are sown in tree Hill, they
Speaker 3: grow and grow. All right, what else haven't we hit
Speaker 3: in this episode? How do we feel about Victoria?
Speaker 6: I have seven pages of notes for this episode.
Speaker 4: This episode was massive.
Speaker 5: I watched it.
Speaker 6: On set last night waiting for dark. So all my
Speaker 6: goats are on the back of sides.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry above taking us down too many rabbit trails.
Speaker 4: No, babe.
Speaker 3: I honestly, this episode was so heavy and I really
Speaker 3: did cry a lot because I think it's every mother's
Speaker 3: or father's, just anybody's worst nightmare to leave your kids.
Speaker 3: And as a mom, and I must you know, I'm
Speaker 3: by myself a lot because my husband works out of town.
Speaker 3: The horror of having to leave a message like that
Speaker 3: behind is really heavy. And then like the horror of
Speaker 3: like what Brooke is going through a finally loving someone
Speaker 3: and then being like cool, but I found my birth mom,
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna go to her house in the dark.
Speaker 3: You know, it just hurts so bad. So I needed
Speaker 3: the rabbit holes Colin.
Speaker 5: She needed some levity, sir.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad. I'm glad to provide. Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's like this show was like more intricately
Speaker 1: thought out than I remember sometimes, Like I mean I was,
Speaker 1: it was coming in and out as I did. I
Speaker 1: was not always aware of what had been happening for
Speaker 1: a long time, and I wasn't aware of the kind
Speaker 1: of the continuity that was going on and and necessarily
Speaker 1: of all the dynamics that had evolved. And so it's
Speaker 1: it's interesting anytime I go back and look at it,
Speaker 1: just what just in some time we'll do to one's
Speaker 1: perception of something like that. But it was, it was,
Speaker 1: it was well done, and you guys do such a
Speaker 1: beautiful job.
Speaker 4: Nice baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we're old people now, so watching the
Speaker 3: show is so like what in the world, Like, what
Speaker 3: are we doing here?
Speaker 1: And it's also that.
Speaker 4: This was a one Yeah, Nathan Scott's going to get
Speaker 4: to the NBA.
Speaker 3: I mean that was We always joke about how We're
Speaker 3: all doing different movies at any given time, you know,
Speaker 3: like somebody's doing a rom com and someone's doing a
Speaker 3: horror movie and it's all in the same episode. And
Speaker 3: so Nathan is doing like like a Jordan commercial.
Speaker 4: He's like shoes sports.
Speaker 1: Just remember the like like the Burgess Jenkins played the coach.
Speaker 1: And that was from my hometown from Winston Salem, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: went to went to Summit School where I went.
Speaker 4: You guys knew each other back home barely.
Speaker 1: Like we went to We went to school together. He
Speaker 1: was a little older.
Speaker 3: Were you enemies?
Speaker 1: No, but my brother created my brother, Jonathan Moss did
Speaker 1: like Burgess teacher still teaches acting and Winston Salem and stuff,
Speaker 1: and and was got some kind of higher profile roles
Speaker 1: than some of the ones that I started off getting.
Speaker 1: And my brother like would try to create this rivalry.
Speaker 1: He's like, you hear what Burgess Jenkins has done? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going he'd lived. We went to this Eastern party
Speaker 1: at a friend house and old family friends. He's like,
Speaker 1: you know who lives next door? He's like Burgess Jinkins,
Speaker 1: He's gonna go have a word with him. If this
Speaker 1: is in our adulthood of stops.
Speaker 3: Please do have you guys seen each other at conventions?
Speaker 1: Since no, no, he doesn't come.
Speaker 4: We need to negotiate that.
Speaker 3: We need to make that happen because I love a
Speaker 3: hometown rivalry.
Speaker 1: Well, I can't fight him. He's much bigger than I.
Speaker 3: Well, Patton Oswald and I are from the same town,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna kick his ass.
Speaker 1: So all right, I'll fight Burgess if you fight Patton.
Speaker 3: We should have like a cage match in just hometown
Speaker 3: fights like Supermarket parking lot and the Kroger.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you're only allowed to open handed slap, like
Speaker 6: no punching.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good rule.
Speaker 5: Fights. Yeah.
Speaker 4: God, this is going to be the best convention ever.
Speaker 6: We adore you, thank you, thank you for giving us
Speaker 6: your morning.
Speaker 8: We love absolutely what a joint.
Speaker 5: That's sweet man, sweet sweet man.
Speaker 3: He's a good time. The last convention I was at,
Speaker 3: I always end up in like a booth with Collins somewhere,
Speaker 3: and we like the pictures that show up the next
Speaker 3: day are just like what were we talking about?
Speaker 4: Because the giggle fits, like the sweats and the giggle fits.
Speaker 3: And just yeah, yeah, he's a good person to stay
Speaker 3: up and just like talk with till two o'clock in
Speaker 3: the morning.
Speaker 6: Oh, I love that. I was on set. I got
Speaker 6: home at six point thirty.
Speaker 5: This morning because we're on Avery nights.
Speaker 6: And we hit that point around three.
Speaker 5: Am where.
Speaker 6: Two of our actors were outside like doing something really serious.
Speaker 6: We were all trying to be quiet upstairs in this
Speaker 6: like remote cabin house no and me and my sweet coworker,
Speaker 6: Amaya's mom made eye contact and we both just started
Speaker 6: choking on our laughter.
Speaker 5: And then all the kids are done.
Speaker 6: We were rolling on the floor just like crying tears.
Speaker 5: Laughing, and I was like, oh my god, and it.
Speaker 6: Really reminded me of like our overnights in Wilmington.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Well, when we shot at the cabin, remember we would
Speaker 3: get in trouble for that. Paul director was so mad.
Speaker 3: We were like, God, knock it off. Giggle fits all right,
Speaker 3: So walk me through these seven pages of notes, because
Speaker 3: I know that you did your homework, and I want
Speaker 3: to honor your homework well, and.
Speaker 6: I know you want to avoid talking about this episode
Speaker 6: because it's emotional.
Speaker 3: And it's it's you know what it is. It's and
Speaker 3: it was nice to have culin here to kind of
Speaker 3: like soften it because I don't want to ruin it
Speaker 3: for the fan base and be like, this is the
Speaker 3: bullshit that happened.
Speaker 4: You know, all of season six.
Speaker 3: But I can look at it as a forty one
Speaker 3: year old woman and be like, that is a twenty
Speaker 3: six year old who's having to deliver some really serious
Speaker 3: subject matter for any woman at home. Like, we're also
Speaker 3: carrying the weight of experience. So anyone who's watching the
Speaker 3: show who's dealt with pregnancy loss or fertility problems, or
Speaker 3: death or like the loss of a mother.
Speaker 5: I mean, we know how heavy it is toss so many.
Speaker 3: Problems into that, and so you have to deliver a
Speaker 3: performance that's respectful.
Speaker 4: I couldn't phone it in.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, I've got a grown ass man being an idiot,
Speaker 3: and you and I can't We can't look at each
Speaker 3: other without bursting into tears. Oh my god, Sophia, this
Speaker 3: whole episode, every time you and I made eye contact,
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 5: Like, you just don't do it, don't do it, don't
Speaker 5: you do it. I know we started.
Speaker 6: I remember starting to add that in because it was
Speaker 6: like they were just like, please stop crying, and we
Speaker 6: were like, but we can't. Yeah, because it is that
Speaker 6: thing like.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 6: I felt that that sort of visceral sense.
Speaker 5: Memory watching it same because.
Speaker 6: You know, for me playing Brook, she's like, my best
Speaker 6: friend can't leave, and I'm sitting there going, you're not
Speaker 6: really gonna leave, right, like they are fighting with us
Speaker 6: because you.
Speaker 5: Know, again, it's been a long time.
Speaker 6: And one of the things that really bothers me about
Speaker 6: any drama that ever went down on our show is
Speaker 6: we've all grown up. We ride really hard for each other.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you know. It really is that sort of
Speaker 6: family dynamic of like I might have been mad at
Speaker 6: this person or that person, or you might have been
Speaker 6: mad at this person or that person for something, but
Speaker 6: like we can talk about it. Nobody else is ever
Speaker 6: allowed to talk about anybody or will come.
Speaker 5: For them, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I want to be respectful of the fact that,
Speaker 6: like people are very.
Speaker 5: Different than they were then.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we're all like totally grown up. And
Speaker 3: I think now, you know, Hillary Burton at forty one
Speaker 3: years old is on a job and they say, babe.
Speaker 4: Ride's over right.
Speaker 3: I don't care because I've got a husband and kids
Speaker 3: in a life. But when you're twenty six, the job
Speaker 3: is your life. And it felt so fadal.
Speaker 6: Yes, but I also want to go ahead and say, like,
Speaker 6: you're you're being a big person. I know, I know
Speaker 6: we're all trying to do that, but it's not just
Speaker 6: because you have a life, and it's not just because
Speaker 6: we were younger and knew less then. It's also because
Speaker 6: what happened was just really dumb and it was very
Speaker 6: hard to have a plan amongst us and have that
Speaker 6: plan be betrayed. Yeah, like that was really hard and
Speaker 6: really hurtful, and to watch people.
Speaker 5: Be casualties of it.
Speaker 6: The surrealism of this episode was like, oh my god,
Speaker 6: our characters are what ifing and we're really what ifing.
Speaker 6: And one of the things I will say, like, looking back,
Speaker 6: I'm really proud of us. I'm really proud of the
Speaker 6: way we showed up. I'm really out of you. I'm
Speaker 6: proud of the way you performed in this episode. And like,
Speaker 6: it wasn't lost on me that there was this really
Speaker 6: beautiful parallel and we talked about it with Colin for
Speaker 6: a second, with the boys in the garage, with James
Speaker 6: and Chad leaning on that comet and having this talk
Speaker 6: and James and one of the things I loved about
Speaker 6: what he did is you know, Chad shared the heaviness
Speaker 6: and James went whoa and just let it hit him
Speaker 6: and sat there and they didn't really talk for a minute,
Speaker 6: and it felt real. The double entendre was really clear,
Speaker 6: and you and I were having the same experience, like
Speaker 6: the chemistry between.
Speaker 5: Us and the emotion in that dress.
Speaker 6: Fitting scene for your baby shower. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 6: that's that's just us, Like we're doing a dialogue, but
Speaker 6: that's us, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Trying to cope with this. And we were twenty six,
Speaker 5: like we were kids. This was wild.
Speaker 6: We did have a boss who would come on set
Speaker 6: and scream at us, and the workplace is just not
Speaker 6: supposed to be like that. And the thing I'm proud
Speaker 6: that we took away is the way we show up
Speaker 6: for each other, the way we show up for our crews, Like,
Speaker 6: you know, we did this crazy overnight last night, and
Speaker 6: I love everybody I'm working with on this movie, and
Speaker 6: you know, there were conversations about like, well, we might
Speaker 6: have to force everybody tomorrow, and you know, Sophia, you're
Speaker 6: number one on the call sheet and are you willing
Speaker 6: to do it? And I was like, I don't do
Speaker 6: forced calls without pulling my department heads and everybody was
Speaker 6: like what, And I was like, I.
Speaker 5: Don't do that.
Speaker 6: I want to hear from the crew. If it helps
Speaker 6: them to come in early tomorrow, I'll suck it.
Speaker 5: Up and do it.
Speaker 6: And if it doesn't, I absolutely will refuse because I'm
Speaker 6: now in a position of power where I can do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And like you and I learned to show up.
Speaker 6: For our people because of the way nobody can showed.
Speaker 5: Up for us.
Speaker 6: And I'm proud of of like a bad sorry, I'm
Speaker 6: really proud of like what we learned to make out
Speaker 6: of this.
Speaker 5: And watching this.
Speaker 6: Episode last night and like sobbing onto my sides and
Speaker 6: taking seven pages of notes, I was like, thank fucking god, Daphne.
Speaker 5: Is so funny as Victoria.
Speaker 6: Like I really needed the levity because I just cried
Speaker 6: at every other scene.
Speaker 5: But like, yeah, I don't know the.
Speaker 6: The weird way that our lives and our storylines often
Speaker 6: were blurred on our show, Yeah it is special, and yeah,
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 5: This just made me really proud.
Speaker 3: Well, because they ripped everything away from you in this episode,
Speaker 3: because not only is it like okay, oh my best
Speaker 3: friend is going to die, it's now this little actress
Speaker 3: that I have been really forming a bond with over
Speaker 3: the last has it been.
Speaker 4: Year two years?
Speaker 3: I mean it's been a long time, and she's Lee
Speaker 3: and Austin.
Speaker 4: Who your character had been working with, is gone.
Speaker 3: And just the level of loss, it's not just storyline,
Speaker 3: like when you lose a character, the actor behind it
Speaker 3: also loses a friend and a confidant and like a teammate,
Speaker 3: and there's real grief and loss there. And so we're
Speaker 3: teasing the Peyton loss, but the Sam loss is happening
Speaker 3: in real time. And watching Ashley and you cry together
Speaker 3: made me feel bad that you had so many layers
Speaker 3: of loss in this episode. I'm like, this chit can't
Speaker 3: get up off the mat, like let her up, let
Speaker 3: me up, please, there's no light at the end of
Speaker 3: the tunnel for book Davis.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I will say, like what a testament to
Speaker 6: Daphne right, because she is so heartfelt and heartbreaking and
Speaker 6: manages to be so funny, Like I made a note
Speaker 6: and I was like I die over her being like, well,
Speaker 6: don't hate me, because I'm resourceful background checking this woman and.
Speaker 5: We should we should.
Speaker 6: Sue about this scary or her credits for all of it,
Speaker 6: like and and you know, the moment of like you
Speaker 6: are trying to shop with me, you know, it's I
Speaker 6: loved it because we loved that, you know, a few
Speaker 6: episodes ago. There's so much great humor, and I actually
Speaker 6: think that's what eviscerates you more in the end, when
Speaker 6: when I'm sobbing into my drawings of Sam and she
Speaker 6: is like she's been crying and she's trying to be
Speaker 6: there for me, It's like, oh man, this is this
Speaker 6: is really rocking everybody's world. And it was like even
Speaker 6: for me, the parallel of Sam reminding me so much
Speaker 6: of Peyton and like me me putting that little anarchy
Speaker 6: symbol on her bag, like that was for.
Speaker 4: You, you know, and.
Speaker 6: Like I know the fans know that, like I know
Speaker 6: that they get the Easter egg, but I was just
Speaker 6: like that was for me.
Speaker 5: That was big you to our boss.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh you want me to be upset,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna put it right on screen.
Speaker 5: And it was like, I don't know, this was.
Speaker 6: Just this episode was big and it was heavy. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but it's another one that reminds me where I'm like, oh,
Speaker 6: I know why everybody always says that the female friendships
Speaker 6: were the love story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, we'd I mean, in these moments, we didn't
Speaker 3: give a shit about the boys, you know, like you're
Speaker 3: like Julian who, I'm like, I don't know, Lucas is
Speaker 3: in the homage, Like.
Speaker 4: I don't It's whatever, They're somewhere, they're here. I just
Speaker 4: want to have a wedding.
Speaker 3: God. It was so fun to see how proud Daphne
Speaker 3: slash Victoria was of you, Like watching her watch you.
Speaker 3: It's obviously, you know, the character's Victoria is recognizing something
Speaker 3: in her daughter that she'd somehow missed that everyone else
Speaker 3: can say but she had somehow missed. But I'm watching
Speaker 3: Daphne the actor also be like like, go, baby, go,
Speaker 3: you're doing it. You know, Brook's the moral compass of
Speaker 3: the show, and it's a lot of weight. It's a
Speaker 3: lot of weight to have to carry, and you know,
Speaker 3: I don't like that you We're gonna have to carry
Speaker 3: more of it as Peyton left. But I also the
Speaker 3: same way Peyton's like, yeah, you'll take care of my baby.
Speaker 3: That's kind of how I felt like tree Hill was
Speaker 3: a baby to me, And I was like it's gonna
Speaker 3: be fine, Like, I know you guys have this.
Speaker 4: It's fine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's not.
Speaker 6: But I think you know to your point what you
Speaker 6: were saying to Colin earlier, like the distance is pretty
Speaker 6: profound because.
Speaker 5: You look back and you're like.
Speaker 6: Man, no matter what was happening, Like we did really
Speaker 6: good work. We made people feel seen, like this episode
Speaker 6: is beautiful.
Speaker 3: I've had some days of work where I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: I cannot muster up any Fox right now, Like I
Speaker 3: got the kids stuff, I gotta Warriort, Like I just
Speaker 3: really struggling. And I go back and I watch twenty
Speaker 3: six year old US like deal with Insanity, and I'm like.
Speaker 4: Oh, well maybe we yeah, we can handle that, big deal,
Speaker 4: big whoop.
Speaker 3: I is Hailey the only person that doesn't know at
Speaker 3: this point that Peyton's gonna die.
Speaker 4: Haley and Mia are just like what, I don't what
Speaker 4: what do we miss?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 6: No, because remember they come over, they bring in whenever
Speaker 6: that was a few episodes ago. Last episode, they bring
Speaker 6: the recording studio to you, and Haley's like Brook told
Speaker 6: me everything. Oh really yeah, And it's so weird because
Speaker 6: you guys don't talk about it, no, and they kind
Speaker 6: of pretend they don't know, but I guess I don't
Speaker 6: know because you know, our our boss loved to read
Speaker 6: the message boards and people were probably like, hello, why
Speaker 6: is everyone else acting like this is normal? So they
Speaker 6: did this like throwaway line between Haley and Peyton in
Speaker 6: like the bedroom at Lucas's house.
Speaker 5: But I'm like, wa, I'd almost.
Speaker 4: Rather she didn't know at all, because why why.
Speaker 5: Are we talking about it?
Speaker 4: It's so bizarre.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she sees the death box in the garage. Listen,
Speaker 3: She's gonna be fine, Peyton's gonna be fine. She's gonna
Speaker 3: be fine. I like that someone's compartmentalizing. That's an important
Speaker 3: thing to have in a friend group. Is the one
Speaker 3: person that's like, guys, seck it up, we're fine.
Speaker 6: Well, anyway, Mia in this episode does the thing that
Speaker 6: you're always great at, which is like, absolutely not, We're
Speaker 6: not doing this anymore. You'll crack a joke, and she
Speaker 6: does it with her elf camera because we didn't have
Speaker 6: iPhones yet, and she's like, everybody.
Speaker 4: Smile, no crying for the picture.
Speaker 3: A number of selfies in this episode, because it starts
Speaker 3: with the selfie of Millie sending it yes to mouth
Speaker 3: was kind of an awkward selfie because we didn't do
Speaker 3: those back then.
Speaker 4: We didn't have the forward facing camera.
Speaker 5: Flip phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't have that, so you couldn't see what
Speaker 3: you looked like until you flipped the phone back around
Speaker 3: and saw your grainy little screen.
Speaker 4: Loving it, loving it well. I love that Nathan is
Speaker 4: keeping basketball alive on the show.
Speaker 3: I love that he and Haley are just steady soundboards
Speaker 3: for everybody else who's a freaking nightmare. I love that
Speaker 3: Peyton is really utilizing all the technology at our disposal
Speaker 3: in order for us to get ad sales, Like what
Speaker 3: do we think we got from like the camcorder and
Speaker 3: like the iPod touch or whatever.
Speaker 5: That so funny.
Speaker 4: By the way, one hundred Songs to Save Your Life
Speaker 4: is the name of the playlist that our boss put
Speaker 4: on that iPod he gave me after the maxim shoot. No,
Speaker 4: so even that was like A.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, I love that title.
Speaker 4: No, we don't. We don't love that title.
Speaker 6: Well you know what I will say too, Speaking of
Speaker 6: like when you need levity, I am so a They're
Speaker 6: just so fun to watch, but be I'm so thankful
Speaker 6: for the levity of Alison and antoine storyline.
Speaker 5: Miss Lauren and Skills.
Speaker 6: Are so fun to watch together, and a kid being
Speaker 6: their foil is such a good choice. It's like, I
Speaker 6: think that's part of what I really like about this
Speaker 6: period in time, if I if I take myself out
Speaker 6: of the reality of behind the scenes, I like that
Speaker 6: brooks whole storyline is intergenerational female family relationships.
Speaker 5: Yeah, romantic.
Speaker 6: I like that Lauren and Skills are falling for each
Speaker 6: other and the whole thing surrounds like her being this
Speaker 6: teacher so clearly she cares about kids and him wanting
Speaker 6: to be a dad, and then this, you know, nightmare Boy,
Speaker 6: Like it's it's like these atypical love stories. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: I really really I appreciate a lot of that, and
Speaker 6: I think that they they managed to put humor into
Speaker 6: an episode that could have just been so second all around,
Speaker 6: and James made it work as the director, Like, yeah,
Speaker 6: it flows. It doesn't feel like these are two different movies.
Speaker 6: It just feels like everybody's going through different things in
Speaker 6: their life.
Speaker 5: There was a soft touch to.
Speaker 4: The issue of how it is though.
Speaker 3: It's like in our group of friends, one of us
Speaker 3: is thriving and one of us is dying at any
Speaker 3: given point, and that's just how it goes. And miss
Speaker 3: Lauren is such a welcome addition to our show. I
Speaker 3: don't think I remember. I didn't remember how spunky and
Speaker 3: like spicy she was. Yeah, and I love that she's
Speaker 3: this teacher that has kind of a wicked sense of
Speaker 3: humor and is not afraid to be frisky and this
Speaker 3: shit gets it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like it refreshing.
Speaker 6: So all of that just felt I don't know, it
Speaker 6: just felt so great.
Speaker 5: Ooh.
Speaker 6: And speaking of these sort of parental relationships, like in
Speaker 6: the way that you see these parallels with Nathan and
Speaker 6: Lucas and Brook and Peyton, I really like that when
Speaker 6: Brooke is also dealing with Victoria.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you in your time.
Speaker 6: Capsule for the baby are calling up your history with
Speaker 6: your own dad and your own parents, and the Peyton
Speaker 6: and Larry parallel to Peyton and Lucas's kid and Lucas, Like,
Speaker 6: I don't know, there was just a lot that felt
Speaker 6: really just felt really special.
Speaker 4: It was a well written episode.
Speaker 3: When Peyton is telling her child, Hey, I need you
Speaker 3: to be kind to your parent, I need you to
Speaker 3: be patient with your parents. Please love him for me,
Speaker 3: there's a part of that where it's like, is Brooke
Speaker 3: looking at her mom in a different light?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: Is it like, do I need to be kinder to
Speaker 3: this person? And you know, acknowledge that she's putting so
Speaker 3: much effort in I.
Speaker 4: Don't know what it's for.
Speaker 3: I don't know what her motive is, but like, is
Speaker 3: kindness the way.
Speaker 6: Are you going to make space for people to change?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: My god, kids don't know how much power they have
Speaker 3: over us. They have no idea.
Speaker 5: I would love to know.
Speaker 6: Because Bill Brown wrote this episode and it is so
Speaker 6: well done, part of me wants to be like, dude,
Speaker 6: what what phase of life were you in?
Speaker 5: What was going on in your life?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Was he already able to do this?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure he was more mature than we were. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Really good episode, God.
Speaker 5: Really really good episode.
Speaker 4: For all the shit that went on behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: I just want to make it very clear that I
Speaker 3: loved this episode for what I got to do with you,
Speaker 3: for what I got to do with Chad, for what
Speaker 3: I got to see you know everybody else do in
Speaker 3: their scenes, like being able to be a grown up
Speaker 3: and say that I love the product. I didn't love
Speaker 3: the experience, but I really loved the thing. Yeah, let's
Speaker 3: take it a long time.
Speaker 6: But I think on that note, like it's not lost
Speaker 6: on me when we look back at our history, like
Speaker 6: we all went through a lot of really awful in
Speaker 6: our show, and we've protected it, and we've protected a
Speaker 6: lot of people because we know that the thing we
Speaker 6: made was really magical. And I don't know, I don't
Speaker 6: know what I want to say about that other than
Speaker 6: I just want to acknowledge it's not lost on me.
Speaker 5: I know that's special. What's our honorable mention?
Speaker 3: What's our special honorable mention? In such a big, wild,
Speaker 3: weird episode. I'm looking at my notes.
Speaker 6: I mean, I was going to say you first of all,
Speaker 6: but I know you'll hate that because you don't like
Speaker 6: I don't like. So then I was going to say,
Speaker 6: maybe my honorable mention is Daphne trying to shop with me,
Speaker 6: because that was that was quite funny and I needed
Speaker 6: I needed the humor.
Speaker 4: I have Brooks designs written on here. That meant a lot.
Speaker 3: That was cool, That was really cool. Next episode? Are
Speaker 3: we having a wedding? What are we doing next episode?
Speaker 6: I think we are babe forever and.
Speaker 3: Almost always, let's go to the lake the party.

Speaker 3: Let's spin a wheel? Now, sure to the lake, Let's
Speaker 3: do it? How about whatever the answer is, it's culin
Speaker 3: slash junk.

Speaker 3: a wedding?
Speaker 4: Haven't we done that with him?
Speaker 6: I mean it's Cullen, Yeah, and Junk would also do it.

Speaker 6: that a time or two.
