Speaker 1: First of all, you don't know me. We 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 drama Queens, Girl Fashion. But you'll tough girl.
Speaker 1: You can sit with us. Girl Drama, Queens Drama, Queen's Drama,
Speaker 1: Queen's Drama Drawn, Queen's Drama Queens. You guys, welcome to
Speaker 1: another one of our totally sweet, totally random bonus episodes
Speaker 1: where we just answer a fan questions. Um, we all
Speaker 1: just sent out a tweet that we wanted your questions
Speaker 1: because we're all getting together and like hopping on the
Speaker 1: phone joys in an airport. Honestly, I just love our commitment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just flying across the country, but I'll still be
Speaker 1: there at eight am. It is very early today everyone,
Speaker 1: So rather than send a question, someone just sent us
Speaker 1: an article from sixteen that says, let's discuss this insane
Speaker 1: One Tree Hill fan theory about Chris Keller and Dan Scott.
Speaker 1: What have you heard about this nook For the tweet,
Speaker 1: there's so many questions, it says. One of the most
Speaker 1: nauseating characters on the show besides Dana debb was Chris Keller.
Speaker 1: People are suggesting that he's another one of Dan Scott's
Speaker 1: illegitimate sons. No, how could this be? Oh? Also, when
Speaker 1: he met Dan, Dan said he reminded him of himself. Interesting. Interesting.
Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, I don't know if I buy
Speaker 1: that theory. It's a small town, but I think I
Speaker 1: think um, the the king of the small town having
Speaker 1: to children with people other than his wife might be aggressive.
Speaker 1: Although I don't know. Mari Poe, which has been on
Speaker 1: the air for a real long the whole the father
Speaker 1: it's like a paternity test every week. Also, Chris Keller
Speaker 1: was supposed to be older than us, So does that
Speaker 1: mean the Dan was skirting around like as a sophomore
Speaker 1: in high school? Maybe? Mm hmm wild. I don't know, guys. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that was a fun way to kick off this bit.
Speaker 1: I love like a news headline. I'm such a sucker.
Speaker 1: What questions do we got? Baby? You know what? I
Speaker 1: think was actually really sweet. Somebody just asked, oh my god,
Speaker 1: they're coming in so fast, I'm starting to lose them.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, Okay, well I've lost it in
Speaker 1: the in the feed. But somebody said was there a
Speaker 1: character that you would have liked to end up in
Speaker 1: a couple with mm hm is essentially the question, Um,
Speaker 1: are you going to answer that? I mean, look, we
Speaker 1: all know who our characters and games are, and that's great.
Speaker 1: We watched it exists. But I think it's no secret,
Speaker 1: especially as we're re watching seasons one and two, that
Speaker 1: I am an enormous fan of the would be relationship
Speaker 1: between Brooke Tavis and Marvin McFadden. Oh, I love it,
Speaker 1: I love it. Continuing, I think she's going to co
Speaker 1: sign all that answer, UM, don't you think? Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: reading O our tweet questions Joy, what airport are you?
Speaker 1: And I'm at L A X and Tom Bradley Terminal.
Speaker 1: Can you guys hear me? Because I've got my headphones on,
Speaker 1: but there's no I'm just using the computer speaker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you actually sound pretty great, great okay? And you look
Speaker 1: cool to know. I'm like, how does your hair do that? What?
Speaker 1: It looks awful? What are you talking about? Every time
Speaker 1: we get on zoom, I'm like, what is how just
Speaker 1: how last week you looked like you rolled out of
Speaker 1: the seventies. Today you're like mess him at the airport
Speaker 1: and I'm like, if that was my mess, I'd be thrilled. Oh,
Speaker 1: I love you guys. I I'm still trying to put
Speaker 1: myself together this morning, but you know what I have
Speaker 1: to say, my hair is sort of the one super
Speaker 1: fun constant in my life. But I can always like
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean. It's like I
Speaker 1: could always change my look. It's fun. It's been playing
Speaker 1: with hair anyway. What are you guys talking about? What's
Speaker 1: going on? Well, Sophia just asked a really good question
Speaker 1: from we're reading the fan questions and there I was
Speaker 1: just saying, the tweets are coming in so fast, I'm
Speaker 1: actually like losing them in the thread. But somebody asked, um,
Speaker 1: if if your character could have ended up with any
Speaker 1: other character, like aside from your endgame couple, who would
Speaker 1: it be? And we gave the disclaimer No one's allowed
Speaker 1: to get mad that we're not rooting for our endgame.
Speaker 1: This is this is for fun. And I was just saying,
Speaker 1: especially given the episodes that we're watching, I mean the
Speaker 1: time capsule, I just would have loved to see a
Speaker 1: broken mouth yea like fun? Oh yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: Did you have one? Hillary? I haven't answered yet, but
Speaker 1: you know mine as skills. Damn, I was thinking about skills.
Speaker 1: I don't know We're going to have a week, going
Speaker 1: to have a love triangle with skills. Honestly though, I
Speaker 1: would watch the spiral that Peyton like always goes on.
Speaker 1: I feel like skills has the capability to pull her
Speaker 1: out of her bowls and be calm down, don't be
Speaker 1: an idiot, relax. Well, if you get skills that I want,
Speaker 1: I want, you could just sing together all all the time.
Speaker 1: We just like live a life of musicians, travel and
Speaker 1: raised babies, never wear shoes. You guys would just be
Speaker 1: like playing guitar and tapping your feet. Okay for it.
Speaker 1: We're onto something. Get are so are you? Guys? Like
Speaker 1: on Twitter scrolling through Sorry every sorry everybody out there.
Speaker 1: If it's sounds, can you hear that high pitched deeping?
Speaker 1: I can try and mute it, but I'm in the airport.
Speaker 1: It's actually it's ambiance because now everyone at home feels
Speaker 1: like they're in the airport with you and we're all
Speaker 1: just we're on a layover together. Baby from the Tom
Speaker 1: Bradley Germinal. I like it because this is usually what
Speaker 1: happens when the three of us are on FaceTime like always,
Speaker 1: one of us is in that little FaceTime square running
Speaker 1: through something. So Hilary's got like five plates and just
Speaker 1: feeding children and goes like it's the last time set
Speaker 1: like stebbing food in her mouth. They're like calling for her,
Speaker 1: and she's like, but I'm here talking to my friends,
Speaker 1: like hold on, just one second, just one The last
Speaker 1: time I sent you guys a video, it was in
Speaker 1: the school pickup line getting Gus and I was in
Speaker 1: a rental car, so he didn't recognize me, and I'm like, Gus,
Speaker 1: God damn it, Gus, I'm over here. I could have
Speaker 1: like hit pause on the video. Whatever you hated the
Speaker 1: world that day? Man, Oh my god, I was gonna
Speaker 1: fiss like everything. So okay, so I have a good
Speaker 1: one here, do it because it's super relevant to the
Speaker 1: episodes were in the midst of now. Um Marie son
Speaker 1: is asking, since Joy was touring, how much did she
Speaker 1: know about the storyline Because you guys were out on
Speaker 1: the road, did you have any idea what the rest
Speaker 1: of us were doing back home? No idea, no idea.
Speaker 1: In fact, you know, I was just watching a little bit,
Speaker 1: uh of the last episode and the whole Jake and
Speaker 1: Jenny thing. I mean I knew that there was Jake
Speaker 1: and Jenny and that Nikki, like I knew that was
Speaker 1: happening around Peyton, but I didn't really know that storyline.
Speaker 1: I completely forgot that Brook moved and with Karen it
Speaker 1: took over Lucas, which is so cool. Um, yeah, totally
Speaker 1: forgot about that, and uh and the thing I just
Speaker 1: I mean I knew it happened, but I didn't actually
Speaker 1: watch any of this stuff. Um and oh when this
Speaker 1: whole thing about Lucas finding like cash and ledgers and
Speaker 1: dance like doing Superspy stuff and dance motors like no,
Speaker 1: and I never saw anything about what Nathan was doing
Speaker 1: when I wasn't on the road. I mean they sent
Speaker 1: me the scripts. I think I was just I mean
Speaker 1: Tyler and I were out touring. I think I was
Speaker 1: just kind of like, well, if I'm not in it,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to read it, which is dumb of
Speaker 1: me at your antine thing of you to do it.
Speaker 1: But now I will do that now. But I'm trying
Speaker 1: to remember if they even emailed us the scripts, Like
Speaker 1: did we get scripts emailed to a certain we get
Speaker 1: hard copy that hard copies. Remember, we had leaks all
Speaker 1: the time, so also did we have email back then.
Speaker 1: I remember, remember this is actually a crazy thing I
Speaker 1: haven't thought about in years, guys, when when the show
Speaker 1: was on, we had so many leaks happening and and
Speaker 1: hacks happening. People were hacking into email accounts of producers
Speaker 1: on our show, which, by the way, just disclaimer, so inappropriate,
Speaker 1: Like if you have to hack somebody's account, just don't
Speaker 1: you supposed to be there, like respect boundaries. Rude, It's
Speaker 1: very rude. People were stealing scripts and so they remember
Speaker 1: they started giving us scripts on red paper because your
Speaker 1: rocks red paper, and all these weird security measures we
Speaker 1: were going through, they were like sides. I feel like
Speaker 1: that started with the Nathan and Haley marriage. That when
Speaker 1: it was like the big surprise that they got married,
Speaker 1: and that's when that was reda just started it. I
Speaker 1: haven't thought about that and so long, I just have
Speaker 1: being like what dork is like, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ruin this surprise like a Marvel movie or something. I
Speaker 1: was like, if you're a hacker, like, don't you want
Speaker 1: to go I don't know, work for the government to
Speaker 1: do something cool like I want to code like the
Speaker 1: next spaceship. What are you doing? Be a whistleblower man,
Speaker 1: not a ruiner. Hello, I have a good one. Guys,
Speaker 1: this is funny. Okay, Elevator, pitch your characters go, come on,
Speaker 1: that's so funny. I know my elevator pitch on. Peyton
Speaker 1: grumpy cheerleader with lots of dead mothers and relationship and
Speaker 1: boundary issues. But good taste in music, Dad great, Um,
Speaker 1: Haley James overachiever, super um sweet, kind of repressed and
Speaker 1: um and uh the girl next door. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm boring you. Oh that was gentle and like loving,
Speaker 1: we love Haley. I was funny. I was going to
Speaker 1: use Girl next Door for Brooke as well, I do.
Speaker 1: I think she is the popular girl next door who
Speaker 1: has grown up with absentee parents, learned to validate herself
Speaker 1: with all the wrong things men, money, etcetera, and is
Speaker 1: coming into her own learning to replace external validation with
Speaker 1: internal conflicts. What a journey, What a journey meaningful? That's
Speaker 1: where we're at currently. Okay, speaking of characters, though, Sammy
Speaker 1: wants to know silly question, but which Disney characters do
Speaker 1: you think you're o t H. Characters are most like,
Speaker 1: what's surprise for been Chanted? Oh? Yeah, dude, isn't wait?
Speaker 1: Isn't Chanted a Disney movie? Yeah? An idiot? Yeah, Amy
Speaker 1: Adams an Enchant? It's definitely a Disney Um, what's the
Speaker 1: one in uh? In Hercules? Who's the really grumpy chicken that?
Speaker 1: What's her name? Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: What she's like? Don't talk about the Yeah, if there's
Speaker 1: a price for rotten judgment? Yeah? Yeah, megaa whatever? Man?
Speaker 1: That was me? Um? Yeah, you know, super grump really
Speaker 1: might be more like mo Wanna. I think actually she
Speaker 1: had Disney Princess. I guess she is technically yeah, love
Speaker 1: was Brooke. I don't know who is Brooke. Brooke is
Speaker 1: the blonde chick from Princess and the Frog who Sean
Speaker 1: and the Buff who's like catching Bigne's. Honestly, even in
Speaker 1: an animated world, all I ever want to eat is
Speaker 1: a vigne So that feels right. I took us to
Speaker 1: New Orleans when that movie came out, and we went
Speaker 1: to a restaurant and he ordered I'd like some man
Speaker 1: catching Beignet's. Oh my god, he's Disney. I don't know
Speaker 1: who would you say? So? Do you get to see
Speaker 1: many Disney movies? No, it's been a minute since I
Speaker 1: watched a Disney movie. I mean, I don't know all
Speaker 1: my favorite songs to singer from the Little Mermaid, But
Speaker 1: that's probably just because of nostalgia. Brooke Davis never sang
Speaker 1: so yeah what else? Yeah? But Brooke Davis wants to
Speaker 1: be more than just a princess of the ocean. She
Speaker 1: wants adventure. She finds her voice, Brooke ariel Ael. It
Speaker 1: makes me feel very emotional. Okay, I have a good one,
Speaker 1: especially because on our on our elevator pitch you talked
Speaker 1: about Payton's love of music, so it feels lightly tied together. Um,
Speaker 1: it's not quite jumping the shark. To move on to
Speaker 1: this next one. If Vic wants to know, if you
Speaker 1: guys had a song that represented your character, what would
Speaker 1: it be and why? And especially because your characters were
Speaker 1: so rooted in music, was there a song or or
Speaker 1: did you, like every season feel like you had a
Speaker 1: song that represented Hailey or Peyton. Oh man, that's tough.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go into my I Tunes library right now.
Speaker 1: We house for a second. I don't have any that
Speaker 1: come to minds. You know what song I sang in
Speaker 1: my head all the time while we were filming. You know,
Speaker 1: I was like a huge Donnie Darko fan, and that
Speaker 1: song Mad World, you know, like I find it kind
Speaker 1: of funny. Yeah, which I'm dying or the best I
Speaker 1: ever had. Like those lyrics were so Peyton Sawyer to me,
Speaker 1: and like, there there's a Donnie Darko element to Peyton
Speaker 1: Sawyer where she's just always right on the brink of
Speaker 1: making like terrible choices. Um made world, Mad World is
Speaker 1: beauty in that world? Is Brooke looking for the heart
Speaker 1: of a Saturday night? Yeah, what's your vibe? Brook? God?
Speaker 1: I don't know what I um what I do for
Speaker 1: every project, I always make a soundtrack for a character
Speaker 1: so that so that I have just something to immerse
Speaker 1: myself in that puts me in a mood. Um. And
Speaker 1: we did our show for so long that I made
Speaker 1: so many I feel like every year I would make
Speaker 1: a new playlist. But I think, um, the one that
Speaker 1: always comes to mind first for me, ah is that
Speaker 1: song from the Breakfast Club, because we did that in
Speaker 1: later years where they like, you know, our our director
Speaker 1: purposefully wanted me to do that eighties Molly Ringwall dance,
Speaker 1: but do it really badly, and it's become like such
Speaker 1: a funny thing for people, become an iconic. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: remember when it first happened. We were like, Wow, you're
Speaker 1: not a good dancer. I was like, this is on purpose,
Speaker 1: this was this was a choice. You're a damn good actor.
Speaker 1: I'm an actor. Um. Yeah. That that kind of really
Speaker 1: gets me, especially because our show has become a sort
Speaker 1: of iconic coming of age story, and that's how I
Speaker 1: felt as a young actor about The Breakfast Club. It's
Speaker 1: it's the movie that I have watched probably more than
Speaker 1: any other coming of age story movie. So it feels
Speaker 1: fun to have like a little yeah, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: super freaking cute. Joy. What's your song, honey? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Pageant Material by Casey Musgrave, Yes, because I
Speaker 1: think that fits for Haley. You know, she's like she's
Speaker 1: in a small town. She really wants to please everybody,
Speaker 1: and she wants to do what's right and be liked
Speaker 1: and fit in. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: she's just like, I don't know how to tell you.
Speaker 1: I ain't pad to material like you, just I am
Speaker 1: who I am. About her. Did you ever do pageants?
Speaker 1: Never know? Did you? I did one as a joke.
Speaker 1: I did one as a joke. Senior year in high school.
Speaker 1: My job I was like school president, so I had
Speaker 1: to read the morning announcements every morning, and so I
Speaker 1: read this morning announcement that was like contestants for the
Speaker 1: Miss Loudon County Pageant meet after school on Thursday, and
Speaker 1: I was like, Miss Loudon County Pageant, I'm for sure
Speaker 1: doing this. And so I gothed out, like wore the
Speaker 1: black dress and a lot of heavy eye makeup and
Speaker 1: went and was like kind of a dick about it.
Speaker 1: But I ended up placing third huz um and that's
Speaker 1: like my big claim to fame. I used to put
Speaker 1: that on like resumes and stuff. Is like a joke.
Speaker 1: Third runner up in the Miss loud County padget so much.
Speaker 1: Hillary's so grumpy thinking about when you say that is
Speaker 1: the excerpts that you showed us that you people's yearbook
Speaker 1: from high school, and I'm like the tracks, it's so good.
Speaker 1: There's a picture after life with a roar, like a fierceful, run,
Speaker 1: straight ahead roar, Like that's how you tackle life, and
Speaker 1: apparently how you've always been doing it, and I just
Speaker 1: love it's the small town thing where it's just like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're so bored, We're so bored. What are we going
Speaker 1: to do this weekend? Well, we could pee on the
Speaker 1: fifty yard line at the football field, or we could
Speaker 1: go do a pageant. I love it make poor choices kids. Um,
Speaker 1: you guys, we should do a pageant. We should do
Speaker 1: they they're only for young girls. Why don't we host
Speaker 1: a forty and fabulous paget forty flirty for what's our forty? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Fabulous and uh forty and feisty fabulous, fisty done. What
Speaker 1: are the questions do we have? Um? Oh, this is
Speaker 1: a funny one, especially when we think about timing of
Speaker 1: things like email and high school pageants. Sarah wants to
Speaker 1: know when we see cast members using phones and scenes,
Speaker 1: are those your actual phones or prop phones? It depends.
Speaker 1: They're usually props, but sometimes your phone will fit the
Speaker 1: same case as the set phone, and then you can
Speaker 1: switch it out and use your real phone. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I could not. You're distracted, but you just turn it off.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just so much sitting around. You end
Speaker 1: up for like a you know, half hour in between
Speaker 1: setups and stuff sometimes and it's nice to be able
Speaker 1: to have your I find just people get in less
Speaker 1: trouble now on sets, I think because of phones, because
Speaker 1: before we just used to have to like talk to
Speaker 1: each other and like make out and make terrible choices.
Speaker 1: And now you can retreat into your world and like
Speaker 1: talk to your friends or your manager or like someone
Speaker 1: that's going to keep you out of a predicament. Now
Speaker 1: not as isolated. M hm, you know, we were very isolated.
Speaker 1: Part though. I don't like having phones on sets, to
Speaker 1: be honest. It's it's I feel like I much prefer
Speaker 1: reading a book or talking to people because it really
Speaker 1: drives me crazy when people are disengaged, because it is
Speaker 1: it's a major distraction. You just get on your phone
Speaker 1: and then like whatever the text message was that you've
Speaker 1: just received when you're trying to do the scene, that
Speaker 1: the person is still thinking about or I you know,
Speaker 1: if I've got my phone, I'm still thinking about what
Speaker 1: I've got to do when I get off the scene.
Speaker 1: When I get done with the scene, to get on
Speaker 1: my phone. So I don't like, I don't like bring
Speaker 1: it to set. If I can help it, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking about that piano, that ragtime music that's happening.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to mute it. I'm sorry you don't. Is
Speaker 1: that an actual piano player or is it? No, it's
Speaker 1: just like coming from the speakers somewhere in the airport.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk, so you guys talking, I'll just keep
Speaker 1: this rolling. I personally was enjoying it. I'm waiting for
Speaker 1: Joy to get up and sing along with it and
Speaker 1: my um. Okay, So here's a question from Courtney. She says,
Speaker 1: if y'all could have chosen any guest star to have
Speaker 1: been on the show like full time, who would that
Speaker 1: have been? Man Um? I mean that's a hard question
Speaker 1: because we loved, loved, loved our guest stars. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's so many avenues, like if we're thinking about mentors,
Speaker 1: you know, I go back to thinking about Gerald McCraney,
Speaker 1: thinking about you know, other women we wish we'd had
Speaker 1: for longer, obviously Danielle Along. So there's I think Sharon Lawrence,
Speaker 1: Oh god, how fabulous was Sharon Lawrence? I think if
Speaker 1: you do a show for as long as we did, yeah,
Speaker 1: it gets hard. It's like asking I mean, I imagine
Speaker 1: it's like kind of like asking your parents to pick
Speaker 1: your favorite child. You're like, but I love him all
Speaker 1: all my favorites died yea Robbie Jones right, like how
Speaker 1: great would he guest star? Oh? I felt even real life,
Speaker 1: but Cheryl Lee was like so dear to me and
Speaker 1: loved her so much playing Ellie. Um Colin Ficus, who
Speaker 1: is one of my dearest friends in real life, who
Speaker 1: lives up here in the Hudson Valley, Like, what what
Speaker 1: a layer it would have added to the show to
Speaker 1: have him from the pilot till Jimmy Edwards death. Maybe like,
Speaker 1: let's not kill him? How about that? I think Colin
Speaker 1: added such a good layer to our show. And then yeah,
Speaker 1: Robbie Jones, Like, guys, everybody leaves or dies, you will
Speaker 1: always leave. Oh there's a question, Joy, do you have somebody? Sorry?
Speaker 1: I saw another question on Twitter? Or not go go
Speaker 1: for it? So this is interesting on the tropic of
Speaker 1: leaving God. I don't know why I'm in the mood
Speaker 1: for a pun this morning, but I got girl, your
Speaker 1: segways are to today something happening to me. I didn't
Speaker 1: sleep much last night anyway. Um Tessa is asking what
Speaker 1: do you think Peyton and Lucas would have done if
Speaker 1: they had stayed in Tree Hill? Well, the only thing
Speaker 1: that happens when you're like happily ever after on a
Speaker 1: TV show and you stay is they have to break
Speaker 1: you up, um like to cause drama relationships. So there's
Speaker 1: drama for the show. Yeah, how can we destroy you guys?
Speaker 1: And so that's why I was kind of content just
Speaker 1: to piece out. I don't think there's a chance in
Speaker 1: hell that Peyton would have stayed at Tree Hill. I
Speaker 1: could see Hayley staying, and I could see even Brooke
Speaker 1: like becoming a really like a pillar member of the
Speaker 1: community and really investing and just be you know, like
Speaker 1: falling in love there and getting area to building a
Speaker 1: life um and or doing her business out of Tree Hill.
Speaker 1: But Peyton, Yeah, I mean Peyton had the same thing
Speaker 1: that you have, Hillary, which is what I was just saying,
Speaker 1: like running at life full speed with a roar. That
Speaker 1: that's that was in Peyton too, because you gave that
Speaker 1: to her, And I just I don't think there's any
Speaker 1: circumstance that would have kept her in Tree Hill. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine. It was so weird. We were talking the
Speaker 1: other day about how our parents totally disengaged because like
Speaker 1: either production didn't want to pay them or they didn't
Speaker 1: think it was important. And for me, thinking about Peyton
Speaker 1: as being an adopted kid who's last remaining parent, like
Speaker 1: adopted dad doesn't come to her wedding, doesn't walk her
Speaker 1: down the aisle, doesn't come to see her baby. It's
Speaker 1: set such a bad example for adoption. And I think
Speaker 1: it's like not realistic adopted parents. You know, that's a
Speaker 1: really sacred thing, and I think most people take it
Speaker 1: very seriously and we did not depict that well. Um,
Speaker 1: And so it feels like rejection, do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And so I feel Hayden a big town
Speaker 1: full of rejection, right, Yeah, it's a big down full
Speaker 1: of just like country song in there somewhere girl, it
Speaker 1: feels big and sad and I can't wait for you
Speaker 1: in Greenberg to sing that song together. I could see,
Speaker 1: I could see Peyton coming back. But there's something about
Speaker 1: her knee, Yeah, like she could come back and as
Speaker 1: an adult or like find something new to love and
Speaker 1: appreciate about the champ And at that age, at that stage,
Speaker 1: she had to get out, she had to Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think there's also something um it feels like something of
Speaker 1: a hero's journey for her, with this set of experiences
Speaker 1: that she had and this belief. You know, when we
Speaker 1: think about her art, people always leave and then she
Speaker 1: has that, but sometimes they come back peace. It's like,
Speaker 1: I feel like Peyton needed to leave to see something
Speaker 1: else aside from the pattern that her life had shown her,
Speaker 1: you know, to take that control, to to change her
Speaker 1: own fate too, to become you know, the captain of
Speaker 1: her ship. And then yeah, if if there's a time
Speaker 1: that leads her back, you know, to Brooke and Haley,
Speaker 1: who are waiting patiently. There was a question that I
Speaker 1: saw in here that was like specifically about the three
Speaker 1: of us in real life coming back to Wilmington's and
Speaker 1: how that feels because in the same way our characters
Speaker 1: either experienced trauma or good memories in Tree Hill, the
Speaker 1: three of us also experienced all, you know, the highs
Speaker 1: and the very lows in Wilmington's. And I know when
Speaker 1: we go back for conventions, I always feel a little
Speaker 1: bit wiggily about it. I'm like, oh, who am I
Speaker 1: going to see? Where am I going to know? Because
Speaker 1: it could be awesome or it could also be incredibly awkward.
Speaker 1: Do you guys feel that way? Yeah, I do a
Speaker 1: little bit. I've never I mean, I think it's mostly
Speaker 1: because I was so kind of in my own world.
Speaker 1: I mean I knew our crew and and like are
Speaker 1: all of us that were in that little bubble, But um,
Speaker 1: I didn't make a lot of friends in town because
Speaker 1: I think I was mostly just on set or at
Speaker 1: home by myself, because I just didn't want to be
Speaker 1: super social. I was already social all day on set
Speaker 1: and being introverted, it was like a lot for me.
Speaker 1: So sometimes when I go back to Wilmington's, I see
Speaker 1: a lot of people who know who I am and
Speaker 1: there and they've had the interactions with me at some point,
Speaker 1: but I don't remember, or like we didn't I didn't
Speaker 1: spend enough time investing in the friendship or relationship where
Speaker 1: I really it was just like maybe somebody that worked
Speaker 1: at a cafe or I mean whatever, And I feel
Speaker 1: really like, oh my god, I know your face, but
Speaker 1: I can't remember your name, and I don't remember what
Speaker 1: we talked about when we talked. And so if that's
Speaker 1: always feels a little like I don't know, it makes
Speaker 1: you self conscious. It feels subconscious because I want people
Speaker 1: to feel seen and known, and if I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm in a position where I can do that or
Speaker 1: make them feel the opposite, I always feel like I
Speaker 1: have just feel horrible if I can't always remember. We
Speaker 1: also were working eighteen hour days. Joy like eighteen hours
Speaker 1: a day. It was. It was a lot, yeah, And
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think that is one of the
Speaker 1: things that can be weird about what we do is
Speaker 1: the the sort of uneven seesaw of someone's awareness of
Speaker 1: who a person is from their favorite show versus what
Speaker 1: anyone's normal awareness might be of Like I don't know
Speaker 1: somebody who they see once a week at the grocery
Speaker 1: store when they grab something, who you high too, but
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't necessarily know where their kids go
Speaker 1: to school or whatever. And so I have that too,
Speaker 1: that feeling of like I should be better at this,
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, well, there's no way I can remember.
Speaker 1: A brain can't remember like two thousand people perfect there
Speaker 1: were so many nights out in downtown. How could one remember?
Speaker 1: But I will say it was it was cool to
Speaker 1: find the friendships that we did, Like you know, Jane
Speaker 1: and tricky, especially open the whole world for me. And
Speaker 1: so when I think about you know, Aaron and Cody
Speaker 1: and Mary, George and all like all my my local
Speaker 1: friends there who I still see whenever we go back,
Speaker 1: um it it feels really special. But yeah, when I, like,
Speaker 1: you know, run into somebody at the co op who's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you a while, I'm like, oh no,
Speaker 1: oh no, oh no, no, I'm sorry, dude. I just
Speaker 1: kissed so many waiters in town when were And I
Speaker 1: remember coming back when I was I met with Gus,
Speaker 1: when I was pregnant with Gus. You, I mean, the
Speaker 1: show was still in the air. You guys were still
Speaker 1: doing it. And I went to the Basics, which was
Speaker 1: my favorite restaurant downtown. Oh God, I love that place.
Speaker 1: And I'm like there with my family and this boy
Speaker 1: that I had, like you know, been kissing the year
Speaker 1: before walks in and it's like, hey, what's up. And
Speaker 1: I stood up and he was just like oh. And
Speaker 1: that feeling of like, yeah, you've been gone, but you've
Speaker 1: come back and things are very very different now. Um
Speaker 1: is always kind of how I feel. It's like the
Speaker 1: world's moving so fast that every time we check back
Speaker 1: in with Wilmington's. Like everything's changed, so but it remains
Speaker 1: a touchstone. It's a good place to to check in with.
Speaker 1: One of the things I will say that I love
Speaker 1: is because we've stayed tethered to it, unto each other.
Speaker 1: I feel like we have done physically with Wilmington's what
Speaker 1: we've done emotional with our podcast. We've we've gone back
Speaker 1: and kind of like done the dishes. We continue to go.
Speaker 1: We love the places we love, and every time we
Speaker 1: go back, I feel like I love it more and
Speaker 1: like I have less of a tremor of what was unpleasant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, all right, we got we got a question
Speaker 1: from Lindsay. This is yeah, I guess that's true. So
Speaker 1: Lindsay says, when it comes to shooting car scenes, how
Speaker 1: does that work? Where's the person filming stand when you
Speaker 1: see cars in the background? Is that real or fake?
Speaker 1: Like interstate driving? That's a good question. We weren't in
Speaker 1: this business, but we wouldn't know that either. Um well, Lindsay, Uh,
Speaker 1: there's lots of different ways to shoot a car scene.
Speaker 1: One of them is to actually put a car on
Speaker 1: a on the on a It's like a flatbed it's
Speaker 1: called a process trailer. Process trailer, that's right, Yeah, And
Speaker 1: you just put the car on that and then the
Speaker 1: cameras kind of like sit on either side of the
Speaker 1: They just move the camera around the car and then
Speaker 1: they pull like a truck pulls the car and you
Speaker 1: just look like you're driving. Or you can put the
Speaker 1: car actually on the road and the and the cinema
Speaker 1: to cinema talking about the camera cameras. Camera sit sit
Speaker 1: behind you in the back seat and they filmed from behind,
Speaker 1: shooting the road ahead of you. And then they'll do
Speaker 1: they'll also do so the car will be on the trailer,
Speaker 1: which basically looks like a big raft, and the car
Speaker 1: sits in the middle of it, and the crew is
Speaker 1: around the sides with railings to protect them. Um, they'll
Speaker 1: put crew in the car with you and the car
Speaker 1: is driving, and then they'll also, Um, there's two other
Speaker 1: kinds of rigs that are pretty cool. So the car
Speaker 1: will be on the road and you'll really be driving.
Speaker 1: And then um, they have there's this like famous car
Speaker 1: that some stunt company owns. Um it's a blacked out
Speaker 1: suv and I think they have three of them now
Speaker 1: and they cost an absurd amount of money, and they
Speaker 1: have a techno crane on them that's also blacked out,
Speaker 1: and so that car can drive next to you and
Speaker 1: the crane can maneuver the camera from the back of
Speaker 1: the picture car, which would be the one one of
Speaker 1: us would be driving like through through you know, down
Speaker 1: the side, around the front, over the top. It's like
Speaker 1: a whole crazy That's how they did for to be
Speaker 1: Ferrari because that movie blo I know, there was drone shots,
Speaker 1: and I know there was like you know, some some
Speaker 1: of it was people on another car, but that was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we that's how we used to do like all of
Speaker 1: our high speed chases in Chicago. And so locating with
Speaker 1: that car, you can do some pretty insane things if
Speaker 1: you have really good drivers. And then the other thing
Speaker 1: that they'll do too is you'll be on the road,
Speaker 1: um driving and they'll have like a like a extra
Speaker 1: a wide um kind of technically outfitted pickup truck that
Speaker 1: almost has like a stair step on the back of
Speaker 1: it that a bunch of cameras can sit on, and
Speaker 1: that'll be in front of you, so they can shoot,
Speaker 1: you know, from the from the hood through the windshield.
Speaker 1: So a driving scene. You know that might be four
Speaker 1: minutes long, could take all day because you've got to
Speaker 1: be on the trailer, off the trailer, in the wide shots,
Speaker 1: in the close ups, or cars on the highway, and
Speaker 1: you are all picture cars because the thought, right, what
Speaker 1: is it? Lar? You do it? You say it? Are
Speaker 1: you trying to? We just cheat it in the studio
Speaker 1: and tell all the lights. Oh my god, that's the worst.
Speaker 1: Listen you guys. Joy and I had to do a
Speaker 1: scene in the comment inside of the studio. So they're
Speaker 1: like the driving scenes at night. Okay, it's dark outside.
Speaker 1: So what they do is they have one grip with
Speaker 1: like two flashlights run at us like it's headlines. You
Speaker 1: just get like and then they like circle back and
Speaker 1: then they came back again and it's just like start
Speaker 1: going back with a red light so it looks like
Speaker 1: the break lights in front of you off. And then
Speaker 1: there's someone else. Then there's greens shaking the bush, taking
Speaker 1: the cars. There's everyone's they'll be like trees shaken that
Speaker 1: you're driving past. But yes, and there's a fan. There's
Speaker 1: fans in your windows open. You gotta have fans. And
Speaker 1: then someone will shake the car to there's somebody like
Speaker 1: just leaning on the back of the car shaking it.
Speaker 1: So Joy and I were doing this scene one night.
Speaker 1: It wasn't even night. It was the middle of the day,
Speaker 1: which is why we were cheating it inside of a big,
Speaker 1: huge studio. And I'm used to like driving, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make it seem believable. So I'm doing all
Speaker 1: the things with my hands, and I'm looking in the
Speaker 1: rear view mirror and I'm like using my feet on
Speaker 1: the pedals like one would And because it's a vintage car,
Speaker 1: it's like very delicate. And when Peyton goes to break,
Speaker 1: you know, they do this thing where they like rock
Speaker 1: the car. So Joy and I both like, you know,
Speaker 1: lean forward, like we're breaking really hard, and I actually
Speaker 1: hit the brake, which would turn the tail lights on,
Speaker 1: and you hear from the back of the car Dacious
Speaker 1: yelling don't mash the break, don't mash the break, and
Speaker 1: everyone's thinking he's saying, don't masturbate, and everyone's like what
Speaker 1: he's saying to these girls said, oh my god, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I totally forgot about that. For years. For
Speaker 1: years they'd be like, Hillary, don't mash the breake. Don't
Speaker 1: mash the breake whatever. But Jo and I we're just like,
Speaker 1: go out and drive. That's ridiculous. We could just get
Speaker 1: this done in ten minutes. Yes, tonight, just drive the
Speaker 1: car to a stage. You know what I always love
Speaker 1: to spot two is in older shows when they clearly
Speaker 1: shot the scene inside on a green screen of course,
Speaker 1: and then they just put non thescript city footage in
Speaker 1: in post and everyone has that little black like pencil
Speaker 1: outline around them, Dad, and you're just like, why didn't
Speaker 1: you go outside and just do this on a street?
Speaker 1: They turned the car and then the street behind them
Speaker 1: turns like a half second. No one will notice. Man,
Speaker 1: that's a good question if there had been a Dawson's
Speaker 1: Creek O Teach crossover episode. I mean, they're kind of was.
Speaker 1: Chad and I were both Dawson's together, and James Vanderbyt
Speaker 1: came on our show. Yeah, James came on our shot. Guys,
Speaker 1: the world is just so syncd up um. Which characters
Speaker 1: do you think would have had chemistry love interests with
Speaker 1: each other? Well, that's fun. I was very dry on
Speaker 1: Too Busy Phillips when I did guest star on Dawson's Creek.
Speaker 1: She's she's got strong, big dick energy. She's a powerful, fun, fun,
Speaker 1: fun girl. And Peyton would have totally been swept up
Speaker 1: in her for sure because she's she's fun, she's like
Speaker 1: a fun magnet. Yeah, totally, And I think Peyton would
Speaker 1: have would have seen her. I was like, look at
Speaker 1: all that light. I want that. Yeah, let me in
Speaker 1: Lucas and had a good, good chemistry. They're both broody
Speaker 1: and moody and yeah, torture, well that would have been nice.
Speaker 1: I as soon as you read that question, I was like, man,
Speaker 1: and look, I will confess I didn't watch Dawson's Creek
Speaker 1: all the way through, but in the early days when
Speaker 1: I did, I my brain immediately thought, oh, Pacy's kind
Speaker 1: of like the male Brook Davis, Like yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think with teachers and Pasty what was his last name, Pascy?
Speaker 1: What was his name with something I don't know, well whatever,
Speaker 1: uh whatever, jah, Josh Jackson, Can I say that name?
Speaker 1: I think? I think, yeah, Pascy and Brooke would have
Speaker 1: had like very pacy witter here it is. I think
Speaker 1: they would have had some great chemistry and laughs and
Speaker 1: like definitely gotten arrested and in real life Josh is
Speaker 1: such a wonderful man. He's such a committed activist, like
Speaker 1: the number of like underground, let's work on stuff and
Speaker 1: really make sure. Um, you know, when there are elections
Speaker 1: or social issues happening, there's groups of us that are like, Okay,
Speaker 1: how do we help um? And and he's always first
Speaker 1: in that, in that group with me, and so it's
Speaker 1: really sweet. Every once in a while, you know, we'll
Speaker 1: be at like a protester and organizing meeting and we're
Speaker 1: just like, man, I remember what deep little kids we
Speaker 1: used to be. Now we get out of the world
Speaker 1: a better place. Um So, so I I feel that
Speaker 1: there's a real foundation there. I would have liked Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys have been dreaming it was Haley. Who was
Speaker 1: Haley dreaming too? I don't know. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: Haley probably would have liked Casey too, because I was
Speaker 1: the only other option really is Dawson And I don't
Speaker 1: know who else what other guys were on that show
Speaker 1: because I didn't watch it long. Karl Smith was a babe,
Speaker 1: but he didn't like girls, right, didn't he come out? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right? Yeah? But did he come out right away? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Try that sounds like something Haley would have attempt. That
Speaker 1: does sound like something Haley would have done, because Dawson
Speaker 1: feels like it would have been too much, too similar.
Speaker 1: I think Dawson is too similar to Lucas, like the
Speaker 1: same side of magnets. You'd be like, yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1: That was a fun question. I liked that one a lot.
Speaker 1: All right, we got time for one more. Let's one
Speaker 1: more hit us did. Oh, this is kind of fun.
Speaker 1: Andreas says. Whenever you GIRs did scenes on camera with
Speaker 1: a rival, in an argument or a fight scene with
Speaker 1: another actor, is there any pre briefing conversations of I
Speaker 1: hope you know I love you and I don't mean
Speaker 1: anything of what I'm about to say or do. It's
Speaker 1: really cute, like Meryl Streep did with the films that
Speaker 1: did with vant Hathaway before Devil wors Brought Us started.
Speaker 1: Have you heard this story? She said her down. They
Speaker 1: went out for a drink and she was like, I'm
Speaker 1: going to treat you very badly for the next three months.
Speaker 1: I just want you to know. Don't take it personally.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's really that's really smart. Um No, I
Speaker 1: don't think we had We never did have those because
Speaker 1: we all just hung out. You know, we all kind
Speaker 1: of liked each other and we're nice to each other.
Speaker 1: So I don't I think that's just part of the business.
Speaker 1: You just kind of grow up. No, I mean that
Speaker 1: you're just doing the work. You don't take it personally.
Speaker 1: I think more than anything, at least, I know, I
Speaker 1: do this like if I have to fight with one
Speaker 1: of you or even on you know, good Sam, like
Speaker 1: me and Sky have had to have these you know,
Speaker 1: ram smashing sort of scenes all year and every time
Speaker 1: we do the rehearsal and then we have to actually
Speaker 1: you know, set up the scene right after rehearsal. My
Speaker 1: go to is always, oh, I don't like this. I
Speaker 1: don't like yelling at you. I don't like you. You know.
Speaker 1: I think there's a natural inclination with your friends to say, like,
Speaker 1: this feels weird. But it's also our job. Rehearsal is
Speaker 1: a big important part of it though, I mean, yes,
Speaker 1: because you're actually working together to solve the puzzle. So
Speaker 1: and the audience that's just that's right. Yeah, the audience
Speaker 1: is just seeing the final they're just seeing a fight
Speaker 1: with the two characters that they love. But that's our
Speaker 1: job is to go in and piece everything together, so
Speaker 1: you're really working with the other person to choreograph this moment.
Speaker 1: So it's actually, in a weird way, you don't feel
Speaker 1: like you're fighting at all. You feel like you're dancing,
Speaker 1: You're you're doing something together. You know, well, not always.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Have you guys ever been on the
Speaker 1: other side of it, where like the other person's the
Speaker 1: alpha on the set and you're the one that's like
Speaker 1: getting yelled at and they don't do that thing of okay,
Speaker 1: this is hey, do you want to talk in between setups?
Speaker 1: They're just like okay, go back to your corner, and
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I have I don't like that. It
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good. I won't say what job it was,
Speaker 1: but boy, did it suck. I'm gonna tell you later.
Speaker 1: I'm you tell us after this podcast. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, my brain is also thinking now as
Speaker 1: we talk about this, about when you have to do um,
Speaker 1: not just arguments but actual physical fights, how important rehearsal
Speaker 1: is to figure out how you're going to do that,
Speaker 1: how you're going to take care of each other. God,
Speaker 1: I wish I knew were the outtakes were hill. Was
Speaker 1: it season three where we gotten fight on Payton's front lawn?
Speaker 1: Oh my god when you got hurt. Yeah, we did
Speaker 1: it over and over and over again. And you know
Speaker 1: those season four season four soul you know we were
Speaker 1: we were fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting and
Speaker 1: screaming and crying and doing all these things together. And
Speaker 1: then it was just one take where like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: we twisted the opposite way we twisted the sixteen time
Speaker 1: before it, and it was your elbow in my skull
Speaker 1: and it was a whole moment and I just remember
Speaker 1: like falling over and you falling on top of me,
Speaker 1: going oh no, no, no, no, no no. That was
Speaker 1: really scary. It was scary. But I there's something that's
Speaker 1: also so sweet about the immediate stop and hold and
Speaker 1: hug and like, oh my god, are you okay? Are
Speaker 1: you okay? That actors you for each other, um, because sometimes, yeah,
Speaker 1: sometimes you'd get hurt and it's not obviously on purpose. Um.
Speaker 1: Remember when I was making the Hitcher with Sean Bean
Speaker 1: and he was like literally trying to murder me and
Speaker 1: in the middle of I mean, he would be like
Speaker 1: literally beating the crap out of me throwing me around
Speaker 1: like a rag doll, and I would never know when
Speaker 1: it was coming. But in the middle of a scene
Speaker 1: he'd always paused, and you know, he had it was
Speaker 1: like really gravelly, formable American accent voice, and then he
Speaker 1: would pause and go, oh you okay, darling, you're right, okay,
Speaker 1: okay to three, and then he'd like snap, my, you know,
Speaker 1: my face in a different direction, and I was like, God,
Speaker 1: what a gentleman you are. It's funny to think that
Speaker 1: the people at home never get to see, you know,
Speaker 1: those little moments we get to the sweetness. It's all sweet,
Speaker 1: joy catcher Plane. That was fun. Thanks he safe tracking
