Speaker 1: First of all, you don't know me. Were all about
Speaker 1: that high school drama Girl Drama girl, all about them
Speaker 1: high school queens. We'll take you for a ride in
Speaker 1: our comic Girl Cheering for the Right Drama Queen's Girl Fashion,
Speaker 1: but your tough girl, you could sit with us Girl
Speaker 1: Drama Queens, Drama Queen's DRAWNA Queen's Drama Drawn MC Queen's
Speaker 1: Drama Queens. Hey, everybody, We're doing a Q and A
Speaker 1: episode just for you. Are you ready? Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Are you girls ready? Me with some questions? Oh boy
Speaker 1: from Julia. Julie wants to know, when faced with a
Speaker 1: tough day on set, what did you do to unwind?
Speaker 1: Karaoke hiding one of your trailers. I'm down town. I
Speaker 1: would leave set and just walk straight to a bar,
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't even go home, because I knew i'd
Speaker 1: get there eventually. We were just either Level five or
Speaker 1: Yosake or where else did we go? Deluxe? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like if we wanted to eat, Yeah, but I'd sit.
Speaker 1: I'd have dinner there and then I'd sit at that bar,
Speaker 1: like with Paul and Hank for so many hours. I
Speaker 1: just sit there until they closed. Oh the French place.
Speaker 1: We used to go to the upstairs French place. Caprice, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Caprice upstairs, Yeah yeah. I mean I don't know that
Speaker 1: there was anything. It's just like I think anybody else
Speaker 1: has a hard day of work and they just go
Speaker 1: they want to go have a drink with a with
Speaker 1: a friend and take a load off, go home, just
Speaker 1: bury yourself in your apartment and watch a movie or something.
Speaker 1: Well joy you would go home in like so beautiful clothes,
Speaker 1: like you you know, like a craft or something that
Speaker 1: I would get into. Also having an animal helps. It
Speaker 1: kind of depends for me. Did I need to shake
Speaker 1: it off by like being alone and you know, taking
Speaker 1: Patch for a walk, or did I did I need
Speaker 1: to shake it off by like going with you guys
Speaker 1: to karaoke and slamming to tequila shots and like swimming,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. It kind of depends on what
Speaker 1: kind of a day you've had. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: necessarily a standard, but I will say I think it's
Speaker 1: important to acknowledge what you need, whether it's a moment
Speaker 1: of introversion or a moment of extreme extraversion. You know,
Speaker 1: listen to yourself. That makes so much sense. Give yourself,
Speaker 1: what you need, take care of yourself because doing you
Speaker 1: feel that that juxtaposition makes so much sense. So because
Speaker 1: now that I'm thinking about it, I went out so
Speaker 1: much downtown because I was so moby on the show
Speaker 1: that I felt like I had to be turbo fun
Speaker 1: outside of work. But in subsequent jobs where I have
Speaker 1: to be a ton of fun and kind of loud,
Speaker 1: that's when I want to just go home and be like,
Speaker 1: I'm just going to be a grand Crochet's balance m hm, balance, right?
Speaker 1: Are we still doing those things? If it ain't broke,
Speaker 1: don't fix it. I don't know, you guys. This weekend
Speaker 1: I went we were out visiting friends and we went
Speaker 1: to this like really fun party on Saturday night and
Speaker 1: there was this great DJ and everyone was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, we're outside and we're dancing and it's great.
Speaker 1: We went to a college book after. I didn't know
Speaker 1: it was a college bar there, no, but we were there.
Speaker 1: There was a cover band playing incredible music. It was
Speaker 1: like me and ten friends who are all our age,
Speaker 1: like like, you know, my friend was a magazine editor
Speaker 1: like grown ask people, and we were in the corner
Speaker 1: of a college bar, just like dying having the time
Speaker 1: of our lives. I got asked out by it a
Speaker 1: kid who could not have and I just was like,
Speaker 1: oh you sweet, you sweet, you sweet sweet boy asked
Speaker 1: me again, ask me again. I just want to hear it.
Speaker 1: But thanks. It was. It was adorable. You have to
Speaker 1: go now. I love so like, I don't know. Are
Speaker 1: we still doing that? Yes? Have I done that in years? No?
Speaker 1: Was it fun? Absolutely? Can we promise to be like
Speaker 1: seventy five year old women still doing that? Absolute? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: college bar. We're going to be forever. Put that on
Speaker 1: a shirt. We're gonna be fun forever. Alright, We're gonna
Speaker 1: be fun forever. Joy. You got a question? What? What's
Speaker 1: the question she wants to know when filming the costumes
Speaker 1: segment with Chad. Okay, so I think she's said with
Speaker 1: the Halloween episode, what was it like? Was it as
Speaker 1: much fun as it looked? And how do montage segments work?
Speaker 1: You want to walcome through a montage? Yeah, Usually they
Speaker 1: just set up the camera on one side and Chad
Speaker 1: would go in the dressing room, come out, uh with
Speaker 1: all his outfits, do fun stuff, and then he would
Speaker 1: go back in and then he would we would he
Speaker 1: would do it again. He would just do it like
Speaker 1: six or seven times until all the costumes were done,
Speaker 1: and then they would turn the camera around, uh and
Speaker 1: put it where Chad was standing and just shoot all
Speaker 1: of my reactions to all of those outfits, and any
Speaker 1: of the outfits that they wanted us to be interacting in.
Speaker 1: They would shoot us. I don't remember which angle it
Speaker 1: was from. They probably just picked one of the angles
Speaker 1: and then they would just shoot our interactions from a
Speaker 1: little bit further back. We pull the camera back like
Speaker 1: a master, right, yeah, it's a master. And then they
Speaker 1: just had all the singles. It does take quite a while.
Speaker 1: I'll have to say it's it's always it goes so fast,
Speaker 1: but it takes a while to set those up. But
Speaker 1: it was fun. Yeah, we had fun that day. I
Speaker 1: remember enjoying that. I was just I didn't have to
Speaker 1: change a million times. It was like, let him do it.
Speaker 1: I'll stand here. It's always funny when you watch a
Speaker 1: montage and you go, god, that looks good. We did
Speaker 1: that for eight hours. Yeah, we made it look great exactly.
Speaker 1: You made it look so spontaneously. That is an iconic scene.
Speaker 1: Let's see Tracy asks, do you see a parallel in
Speaker 1: the relationships between Lucas and Peyton and Brenda and Dylan
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills nao O. I never thought about that. I
Speaker 1: never really watched it wasn't allowed. Well I was, and
Speaker 1: then my parents watched an episode once while I was
Speaker 1: at camp, and I don't know, somebody, somebody had sex
Speaker 1: with somebody behind somebody's back, and then I wasn't allowed
Speaker 1: to watch it anymore. So I don't I have no
Speaker 1: idea because I was banned from NATO two and O
Speaker 1: because I think pretty early on, yeah, we were babies.
Speaker 1: Brenda and I was also banned from watching Dawson's Creek too.
Speaker 1: Like I remember when Dawson's Creep premiered, I had all
Speaker 1: my girlfriends over and it was like we were pumped.
Speaker 1: We were like, we were watch this show together every week.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so fun. And these like senior boys
Speaker 1: came over to like see us and visit, and we
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, this is so cool. This
Speaker 1: high school high school is gonna be the best time ever.
Speaker 1: And then Pacy started sleeping with his teacher. My mother
Speaker 1: was like, no, we are not we are not watching
Speaker 1: this show. This is smut and so I grew up
Speaker 1: to make smut. You're like, well, you didn't let me
Speaker 1: watch it, so I'm gonna go. And you know what, parents,
Speaker 1: you you pull the reins in too tight and then
Speaker 1: they just go crazy when you let him go. You
Speaker 1: gotta gotta just be real careful, wild careful. That's true.
Speaker 1: Angelica wants to know if we ever noticed that the
Speaker 1: writers use and I love you for that all the
Speaker 1: time and scenes. I never noticed that. If you haven't,
Speaker 1: if you haven't, now you will. I love you for that.
Speaker 1: But blah blah blah. Yeah, no, I never clopped that.
Speaker 1: When there's a couple that I know that they felt
Speaker 1: real cute about, like well, well this one, wells or hey,
Speaker 1: pretty girl. That was another one that was like mm hm,
Speaker 1: I used a lot. All right, well this one's gonna
Speaker 1: be like a you know, brain worm. We're stopped it now.
Speaker 1: Nia wants to know. I know that Joy and Sophia
Speaker 1: have directed multiple episodes of the show. In your podcast
Speaker 1: with Lindsay mckinn, you discuss how there is eight days
Speaker 1: of prep, eight days of shooting, and eight days of
Speaker 1: post production. How did you as actors manage your schedules
Speaker 1: as actors but also directors, and how did pre production
Speaker 1: and post production work while also shooting the episodes with
Speaker 1: different directors. That's a great question. The will the pre
Speaker 1: pro and post pro work while shooting episodes of different
Speaker 1: directors was easier? I mean for me, it was easier,
Speaker 1: so if you can speak for yourself. But because I
Speaker 1: wasn't on set, I was. I was on set working
Speaker 1: on my own stuff, and then I would leave set
Speaker 1: and go do post or that just felt like a
Speaker 1: separate job. So it was any time I wasn't on set,
Speaker 1: I was just in an office doing something that had
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to do with the acting I was doing
Speaker 1: that day, So that made it a lot easier. I
Speaker 1: did not like being on set as an actor and
Speaker 1: then directing myself at the same time, and having to
Speaker 1: direct the people I was in a scene with, because
Speaker 1: as an actor, I prefer to be in the moment
Speaker 1: in the scene rather than judging someone else's performance, um,
Speaker 1: which you have to do as a director. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of I didn't love that aspect of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand that. So I think one of the just
Speaker 1: sort of technical things that would probably be helpf to
Speaker 1: fill you guys in on at home. As you know,
Speaker 1: for example, when we would be directing and we would
Speaker 1: be in our pre production time, a director who is
Speaker 1: not acting on the show gets all eight days to prep.
Speaker 1: We did not. They would definitely try. You know, let's
Speaker 1: say I was directing episode eight of the season, they
Speaker 1: would try to block my days in episode seven. So
Speaker 1: they try to cluster your scenes together as much as possible,
Speaker 1: so that you might be act all day on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: but then you could go prep all day on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: while you know, Brooke would be off all Nathan and
Speaker 1: Haley would be having a day at their house or something. Um,
Speaker 1: but you definitely did get less time. I think what
Speaker 1: helps really make up for that is we started directing
Speaker 1: years into being on the show. We knew every location
Speaker 1: like the back of our hands. We we had shorthand
Speaker 1: with the crew. We knew what, you know, the lighting
Speaker 1: looked like at trick for concerts. Yes, there were things
Speaker 1: we were you know, designing and create, but we already
Speaker 1: had ah the deep intimate experience with most of our sets. Um,
Speaker 1: if you had to go find a set, you know,
Speaker 1: specific for your episode, you would location scout on a
Speaker 1: day where you were not acting in the episode. That
Speaker 1: was filming before yours and then post to Joy's point,
Speaker 1: you know, you'd run in if you had a scene off,
Speaker 1: you'd run into the office and jump back in the edit.
Speaker 1: But with directors, UM, you do not get final cut.
Speaker 1: You know, the producers and creator of the show get
Speaker 1: the director's cut. Then they make whatever edits they make
Speaker 1: because they do an edit on every single episode, which
Speaker 1: really creates a cohesion, um with the story. And sometimes
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of notes for you, and
Speaker 1: sometimes you know they disagree. UM. Never do you really
Speaker 1: think something is amazing us know what opinions we've I
Speaker 1: know what those are, UM, But I yeah, I definitely
Speaker 1: enjoyed um juggling all those things for me, you know,
Speaker 1: being so many years into our show directing in ways,
Speaker 1: you know, when let's be honest, you do every you
Speaker 1: do the same thing every day for years, you get
Speaker 1: a little bored. It's not a bad thing, it's just human.
Speaker 1: And as a director, I fell in love with our
Speaker 1: show all over again, over and over again every year,
Speaker 1: and I really cherished that experience. Um. Nicole says, is
Speaker 1: there a reason why Bevin and Antoine have the same
Speaker 1: names as the actors that is it laziness with the answer,
Speaker 1: I feel like it is. I feel like they were
Speaker 1: just like, let's not worry about tracking too many people,
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to have to deal with like
Speaker 1: a new remembering new character's name cast in the history
Speaker 1: of television, there's eight billion people on this show. Just
Speaker 1: call them by their real name. It's fine. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that. Well, you know what happened. I remember when
Speaker 1: Bevin came on the show. She was saying that there
Speaker 1: was an episode where, you know, long before she'd ever
Speaker 1: actually been cast to speak as an actor, where she
Speaker 1: was just a featured extra, you know, being one of
Speaker 1: our cheerleaders they had when we were doing cheer practice. Um, yes,
Speaker 1: to make it easier, they had us, you know, me
Speaker 1: and Hillary calling all of the girls who were our
Speaker 1: cheerleaders by their real names m which is such a
Speaker 1: weird thing because you know, the writers are like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, these are featured extras, Like, we don't know
Speaker 1: if these girls are going to stick around, like call
Speaker 1: them by their real names, you know, you know some
Speaker 1: guy don't say who said in the room, Like, well,
Speaker 1: it's not like they're ever going to talk. And then
Speaker 1: like Bevin became a star on our show, and they
Speaker 1: were like, well, well she has her own name already,
Speaker 1: so that ship is sailed. I don't know how it
Speaker 1: happened with Antoine though. How confusing for the fan base though,
Speaker 1: like to like see her out in the wild and
Speaker 1: be like Bethan, I know, talking about blurred lines, so weird,
Speaker 1: but our show. That was kind of the magic of
Speaker 1: our show is that no one ever knew what was
Speaker 1: real and what was it turns out a couple of
Speaker 1: things are real. Hillary, what is your best personal life
Speaker 1: hack tip? Farming advice, keeping cooking, makeup because you're the
Speaker 1: you're the farmer. Yeah, let me. You know what I
Speaker 1: should do is I should just start doling out makeup
Speaker 1: and fashion advice because we know I'm so gifted at that.
Speaker 1: That question is from Alicia. By the way, Alicia, this
Speaker 1: is a vague question. I don't have a problem with vague,
Speaker 1: but um my life hack tip. Okay, find the fun
Speaker 1: and failure. Like we we can laugh about it after
Speaker 1: the fact, like we can go back and watch episodes
Speaker 1: of the show and be like, oh oh that was
Speaker 1: a look yuh or that was a choice. But it's
Speaker 1: hard to find the funny in your failures, like in
Speaker 1: the moment, in the present, that's true. Mm hmm. This
Speaker 1: is a great question. I wish I had a great answer,
Speaker 1: because I feel like there are things that I do
Speaker 1: on a daily basis that are unusual and help, but
Speaker 1: I don't know what they are unless I have somebody
Speaker 1: who's hanging out with me for the day and they're like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And then I am like, I'm
Speaker 1: doing this, and then they go, oh, my god, that's genius,
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, I know, but I don't like
Speaker 1: write things down. No. Sophia and I felt that way
Speaker 1: when we hung out by the bar in your kitchen
Speaker 1: and you just started like making the lick sers and
Speaker 1: and we were like, We're like, what's going on? Yeah? Mine?
Speaker 1: I wish mine were cooler and involved cocktails. But something
Speaker 1: that I have found really helpful in minimizing chaos is
Speaker 1: just setting a couple of rules. Like any time I
Speaker 1: walk in my house, I put my keys in the
Speaker 1: little key drawer in the little console table next to
Speaker 1: the front door. And if I don't, then the next
Speaker 1: day I can't leave my house for an hour because
Speaker 1: I'm running around looking for my keys. So it's like
Speaker 1: that's I know. I'm sure that sounds silly, but there's
Speaker 1: like some things that if you can just take care
Speaker 1: of it right away, it'll reduce the time that it
Speaker 1: takes you to fix it later. And that has been
Speaker 1: a good adult life hack to learn. Those key gremlins
Speaker 1: are the worst. Take them all. Oh, I have one,
Speaker 1: you know. Here's it's a skin hack. Um. I have
Speaker 1: been the first thing when I wake up in the morning,
Speaker 1: I put water on my face, and I don't dry
Speaker 1: my face. I just splash water on it and let
Speaker 1: my skin absorb the water, and then I put on
Speaker 1: a really thin layer of vitamin E oil and often
Speaker 1: that's all I'll do. Um there, especially if I'm traveling
Speaker 1: and stuff. UM. So, I don't know. I have a
Speaker 1: sort of a Mediterranean mixed skin type. So I don't
Speaker 1: think that would work for everyone. I can't imagine every
Speaker 1: nobody's not everyone's skin is the same. But if you
Speaker 1: have sort of all of them that Mediterranean like uh normal,
Speaker 1: I guess medium skin type, Um, you might you might
Speaker 1: try that. My skin has never looked like dowier and
Speaker 1: glowier and had less problems than when I'm just using
Speaker 1: water and vitamin e oil done. I love you guys too.
