Speaker 4: Look at this just just like just like Ryan, Ryan Seacrest,
Speaker 4: Madonna or Beyonce. He has he goes by one name
Speaker 4: on Zoom and it is COLLETTI.
Speaker 5: You all have one day. What's up your beautiful faces?
Speaker 5: How are you? Cutie? Bye? Thank you guys. How are you, buddy,
Speaker 5: I'm too well, Thank you well, buddy.
Speaker 4: It's so good to have you. I know we've been
Speaker 4: trying to make this happen for ages, but I'm so
Speaker 4: thrilled to have you on. I will say personally because
Speaker 4: I don't this is a question I have for you
Speaker 4: that we'll circle back to. But I'm because I'm curious
Speaker 4: how much of the show you remember because my experience,
Speaker 4: I remember so little of the show, and watching you
Speaker 4: in it has been a delight. You're so fun and
Speaker 4: funny and likable on the show, and such a necessary
Speaker 4: ingredient in the stew that is one tree hill, and
Speaker 4: that I had no idea of. I think, you know,
Speaker 4: I had. I had a clue because we got to
Speaker 4: do an occasional trick scene together. But now that I'm
Speaker 4: actually watching it as a viewer, I'm like, oh, geez, Louise,
Speaker 4: and I'm like watching my buddy and I'm watching my
Speaker 4: buddy do great, which is just the best feeling. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: you're fantastic in the show.
Speaker 5: Man. Oh you are way too kind, way too kind.
Speaker 5: It was it was a steep hill to climb with
Speaker 5: all you guys. I mean, watching the show and seeing
Speaker 5: you guys all on it, I was just admiring your guys' work.
Speaker 5: So I appreciate the kind words, but you know, we
Speaker 5: had to quickly catch up. Yeah, I feel like drop
Speaker 5: it into the show in season four. Thankfully Sophia was
Speaker 5: there to guide me along the way and help lift
Speaker 5: me up, and and you know, to be able to
Speaker 5: still be standing there in season nine and be around
Speaker 5: it was a delight and something that I am very
Speaker 5: proud of and have always cherished. You always wanted to
Speaker 5: continue to work on the show and do a little
Speaker 5: bit more and hope to do more, and hope to
Speaker 5: get out from behind the bar eventually once we were
Speaker 5: the bartender there and in those last couple of seasons
Speaker 5: we get to have all the fun. Although it was
Speaker 5: kind of like careful what you wish were because it
Speaker 5: was it was like from out from behind the bar
Speaker 5: and right into a bed. I feel like all these
Speaker 5: scenes with Chase and Alex are just in the bed,
Speaker 5: rolled around. I don't know if I've seen any really
Speaker 5: anything else. Thankfully, you get a little bit of a
Speaker 5: breath of fresh air from that with hanging out with Chuck.
Speaker 5: But it's it's funny. I feel like watching the first
Speaker 5: couple episodes of season nine, it's at a lot of
Speaker 5: action in the bed.
Speaker 4: I thought you were going to take it even further
Speaker 4: and say, you went from cool bar to crow bar,
Speaker 4: because isn't that what we get teased in the first episode.
Speaker 4: Isn't it a crowbar that you do your dirty work with?
Speaker 5: It? Is it is? It was like I think it
Speaker 5: was a tire iron. Very yeah, very violent, very violent
Speaker 5: tool there. But hey, he deserved it, right, That's what
Speaker 5: I'm That's what I'm going with.
Speaker 4: So, how much of the show do you remember?
Speaker 5: Oh man, there's a lot that bleeds together. I did
Speaker 5: find myself skipping around in season eight and consulting some
Speaker 5: info online exactly where we were at at the end
Speaker 5: of season eight going into season nine, what happened in
Speaker 5: Chase's life there, So you know what it's it's been
Speaker 5: so long now, there's there's a lot that I don't remember.
Speaker 5: To sit here, I'm not gonna say a lot of
Speaker 5: you guys and think that like I can recite every
Speaker 5: episode and tell you exactly what happened and chases are
Speaker 5: through all the seasons. I would not be able to
Speaker 5: do that. I would fail miserably. But it is a
Speaker 5: joy when you know, you go check it out and
Speaker 5: see the different seasons where he was at, to see
Speaker 5: the journey really and you know, I always feel so
Speaker 5: fortunate I was able to hang around the amount of
Speaker 5: seasons that I did. And yeah, so I was saying earlier,
Speaker 5: just play a little bit more and get a little
Speaker 5: bit more chew on towards those later seasons and then
Speaker 5: really have some fun arcs in seasons eight and nine.
Speaker 5: There So very very proud of that, especially considering where
Speaker 5: we started, Sophia. I mean think about back in season
Speaker 5: four when I jumped in. I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 5: I was so green. I was twenty years old, just
Speaker 5: getting started, just hoping that you guys would would accept
Speaker 5: me on your set. But you guys did with open arms,
Speaker 5: and I'm always great of course.
Speaker 3: Oh it was so fun.
Speaker 6: And I think, you know, we were just talking about
Speaker 6: this because we just watched the first episode of season
Speaker 6: nine last week, and you are so fun to watch.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's very kind.
Speaker 6: And I don't know if it's the sort of like
Speaker 6: senioritis that hits you know, you know, you're almost to
Speaker 6: the finish lines.
Speaker 3: You get really and you start reflecting.
Speaker 6: And I was thinking about it, you know, watching you
Speaker 6: and Jana and talking to Rob about just how fricking
Speaker 6: enjoyable you guys are. And I was thinking about season
Speaker 6: four and the fact that you came in so eager
Speaker 6: to learn and hang and you were such a great friend,
Speaker 6: such a great addition to the greater friend group immediately,
Speaker 6: and I don't know, it's like, it's so cool to
Speaker 6: watch you across these five years of the show, the
Speaker 6: way that you grew as an actor, the way that
Speaker 6: you could, Like I can see your technical proficiency, you know,
Speaker 6: knowing how to work with the camera crew and all
Speaker 6: the stuff that on all of any of our first
Speaker 6: seasons on a TV show we had no idea how
Speaker 6: to do, and like, I don't know, I feel I
Speaker 6: almost feel parental about all of us, myself included watching
Speaker 6: us at season nine, I'm like, looking our kiddos, they're
Speaker 6: so great, and I don't know, it's really cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we do so many seasons and so
Speaker 5: many episodes, but I had, you know, the best opportunity
Speaker 5: to learn. You can only learn so much sitting in
Speaker 5: acting classes in LA where the coaches are just trying
Speaker 5: to keep you around for as long as possible, so
Speaker 5: they will teach you anything that they think that that
Speaker 5: you'll just absorb. But to really be able to seek
Speaker 5: your teeth into stuff and figure out who you are
Speaker 5: as a performer, you got to be on set and
Speaker 5: you gotta follow your face there and learn things and
Speaker 5: also learn from people that are booking like all you guys,
Speaker 5: some very talented folks and working with you in that season,
Speaker 5: and that you know, getting a chance to see Rob's
Speaker 5: work as well and live with Rob and see him,
Speaker 5: whether we're doing auditions together behind the scenes there or
Speaker 5: just seeing him work when he came on the show.
Speaker 5: I mean, talk about a breath of fresh air and
Speaker 5: just an incredible light in the room. I mean, Rob,
Speaker 5: everything that you brought to the show, and the fact
Speaker 5: that it's interesting. You know, you've got a lot there's
Speaker 5: a lot of heavy stuff, and there's drama of course
Speaker 5: in this show, but just who you are, you know
Speaker 5: of off camera, and how funny you are in such delight.
Speaker 5: So I had so much fun being able to get
Speaker 5: the best of both worlds at you guys. There is
Speaker 5: you know, on the professional side and on the personal side.
Speaker 5: We really had a lot of fun on our little
Speaker 5: one Tree Hill Island out there in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach.
Speaker 5: So I'm very very grateful for that, and I definitely
Speaker 5: cherish all those memories.
Speaker 3: It was so great.
Speaker 6: Wait, you just dropped a little nugget that I want
Speaker 6: to expand on, because this is a question we got
Speaker 6: from a lot of the fans knowing you were coming
Speaker 6: in today. They all want to understand more about the
Speaker 6: you know, transition between filming reality and then coming descripted.
Speaker 6: But there's also so many people that want to know
Speaker 6: if you always wanted to act even before you did
Speaker 6: Laguna Beach.
Speaker 3: So take us back to how this all shaped up
Speaker 3: before you came.
Speaker 5: To join us. Well, you have to go back. There
Speaker 5: was in middle school. I was doing a little bit
Speaker 5: of theater, doing some and I enjoyed it, and I
Speaker 5: was honestly too insecured to pursue it. I was I
Speaker 5: was nervous about how my friends would judge me. It
Speaker 5: was supposed to be about sports, you know, athletics, and
Speaker 5: you know, telling my my parents that I would, you know,
Speaker 5: like to go get some head shots taken and maybe
Speaker 5: go up to LA and see if I can audition
Speaker 5: was was just not not going to happen. So that
Speaker 5: was that was a personal secret. But always doing I
Speaker 5: wanted to be an entertainment I was, and I thought
Speaker 5: maybe I land on the sports side. I thought maybe
Speaker 5: sports broadcasting something, you know. I grew up watching the
Speaker 5: sports centers and being like, I'd love to be an
Speaker 5: anchor and where they had a little fun with some
Speaker 5: creativity in the way that they distributed highlights. It wasn't
Speaker 5: just like you know, monotone. They they're very creative in it, So,
Speaker 5: you know, Laguna was that kind of opportunity to dip
Speaker 5: into the entertainment world. And you know what I loved
Speaker 5: about it, even looking back and having watched the show
Speaker 5: is the way that they shot it. They shot it
Speaker 5: like a drama. Uh and and unlike a lot of
Speaker 5: the scripted shows or unscripted shows you see today where
Speaker 5: they have their confessionals and whatnot, they really wanted to
Speaker 5: kind of add a little mystery to it and and
Speaker 5: keep it long lensed and not have us speak to
Speaker 5: camera ever and so and shooting that being in production,
Speaker 5: the camaraderie of people coming together to make something, creativity
Speaker 5: involved in that, it just really started to suck me.
Speaker 5: And then, you know, the further I got with it,
Speaker 5: taking acting classes and stuff and getting little gigs here
Speaker 5: and there, it really just caught the bug more and more.
Speaker 5: And you know, really going onto your set in season four,
Speaker 5: there was really like, this is this is kind of
Speaker 5: like what I've been dreaming about. This is the kind
Speaker 5: of perfect job. I love being out here. It's just
Speaker 5: so different from where I grew up. You know, everyone's
Speaker 5: focused on the show and we're all coming together to
Speaker 5: make this thing, and there's a lot of fun being had,
Speaker 5: you know, outside the show as well. We were all
Speaker 5: such such kids when we got out there that you know,
Speaker 5: we all wanted to hang out and have fun and
Speaker 5: you know, so it really was this you know, amazing
Speaker 5: journey of being able to kind of see along the
Speaker 5: way like all right, I think this is thing that
Speaker 5: I'm interested in, and let's continue to take these steps
Speaker 5: and let's see how we can handle, you know, taking
Speaker 5: that first step onto that set in season four was
Speaker 5: it was a big one, and like, all right, how
Speaker 5: would I handle you know, how would the work that
Speaker 5: I think I know I can do translate? And sure
Speaker 5: there was some trial and there, and there's a lot
Speaker 5: of growing pains and things that I needed to learn,
Speaker 5: but I knew that, like, this is something that I'm
Speaker 5: really interested in, So I want to continue to.
Speaker 4: You've done Laguna Beach, right, had you done much between
Speaker 4: Laguna Beach and One Tree Hill.
Speaker 5: So I actually worked on a film with Hillary. We
Speaker 5: didn't we didn't work in any scenes together, but we did,
Speaker 5: you know, meet there on set. It was a little
Speaker 5: film called Normal Adolescent Behavior, and I think they wound
Speaker 5: up selling it as Havoc Too, which the first Hoboy
Speaker 5: Pane Hathaway. I think Sanny, Yeah, yeah, I think whoever
Speaker 5: bought it went up selling it under that name. But
Speaker 5: it was just a cool, little artsy indie film, had
Speaker 5: a great cast, and I had a little role in it,
Speaker 5: and that was like, I now, I'll never forget where
Speaker 5: I was when I booked that job, because I'd been
Speaker 5: you know, after Laguna, and there was a lot of
Speaker 5: attension that came from that show. It was very uncomfortable
Speaker 5: about it, you know, obviously excited about the opportunities that
Speaker 5: it was presenting me within the industry, but knew that like,
Speaker 5: all right, this is like this is a silly reality
Speaker 5: show about like teenagers, like being idiots. Like it's this
Speaker 5: is not something that you know, I'm gonna be super
Speaker 5: proud of, you know at the end of the day.
Speaker 5: So to be able to do work and find myself
Speaker 5: hopefully on a set like your guys, as I knew,
Speaker 5: I had to kind of buckle down and study and
Speaker 5: and try to you know, be selective about opportunities and
Speaker 5: and so I was and said no to any other
Speaker 5: reality shows and was like, let's try to get scripted
Speaker 5: in it. And this movie was the first one and
Speaker 5: we shot it and an incident. I remember Hillary. She
Speaker 5: we were in one of the transfer vans and she
Speaker 5: was talking about this show that she's working on and
Speaker 5: you know what it's like down there in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Speaker 5: And I was like, damn, that sounds freaking awesome. And
Speaker 5: I first was familiar with the show, which is the
Speaker 5: way that she was talking about it. I was like,
Speaker 5: it sounds like a great gig. So when the opportunity
Speaker 5: first presented itself to audition for the show, I was
Speaker 5: super excited, like, this would be a treat job.
Speaker 3: That's so fun. Did you because you had worked with her?
Speaker 3: You got to jog my memory?
Speaker 6: I don't I don't remember the details. Did you ever
Speaker 6: watch the show or did you have to try to
Speaker 6: catch up on the show once you were going to
Speaker 6: audition for it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I had seen a little bit of the show,
Speaker 5: but I never sat down to watch a full episode
Speaker 5: until I was auditioning for the show. I was actually
Speaker 5: working on TRL again, another weird connection that Hillary and I. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we didn't do it together, but we both did TRL.
Speaker 5: There was an episode where I believe Chad was there.
Speaker 5: I did interview him, but we were just there in
Speaker 5: the studio together. And then that night I went home
Speaker 5: to my hotel and I just flipped on the TV
Speaker 5: and the first thing that came on was an episode
Speaker 5: of One Trio Wow, And so I watched that episode.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh man, what a cool show. And
Speaker 5: again it's just one of those things they kept kind
Speaker 5: of following me around. It was like that would be interesting.
Speaker 5: So when I got the audition, I watched what I
Speaker 5: could find. You know, back then, of course, you know,
Speaker 5: there's you know, unless you went up to the store
Speaker 5: and bought some DVDs and you were't gonna be able
Speaker 5: to get it onto me.
Speaker 6: So gravy.
Speaker 5: So I would call my friends who I know watched
Speaker 5: the show, we were fans of the show, and talk
Speaker 5: to them about it. And then I think I got
Speaker 5: my hands on some tape from you know, my age
Speaker 5: was able to get some episodes for me and I
Speaker 5: was watching it. So that's how I kind of got
Speaker 5: first introduced the show. And then once I, you know,
Speaker 5: I found out that was gonna go on, then it
Speaker 5: was like, all right, buy the DVDs and we got
Speaker 5: to watch everything. Wow.
Speaker 6: What a trip like the Pixie Dust in the air
Speaker 6: of like you and her doing the movie together, you
Speaker 6: and Chad being on TRL at the same time, you get,
Speaker 6: you know, finding it on TV. It's like, were you
Speaker 6: at the time that there was obviously something pulling you
Speaker 6: in our direction?
Speaker 5: You know. I'm looking back on it and hearing you
Speaker 5: say that, I do feel I believe that, and I
Speaker 5: think that it's it's one of those things where the
Speaker 5: universe has giving you the signs, and I'm always looking
Speaker 5: tonted for those green lights, you know, and will sometimes
Speaker 5: it might take a little while to get the actual
Speaker 5: green light. There's something that's like cut up this this
Speaker 5: rock that's like someone's throwing a little stone at your window,
Speaker 5: or something's hitting you in the head. And I've always said, actually,
Speaker 5: the thing about even doing Good to Beach was one
Speaker 5: of those moments because to my point earlier about doing
Speaker 5: some plays in middle school but wouldn't be caught dead
Speaker 5: telling anybody that I wanted to do acting. I shouldn't
Speaker 5: have ever signed up to do the good at Beach,
Speaker 5: like it was going to be social suicide within my
Speaker 5: friend group. And in a way, it was.
Speaker 4: The fact that you were like, I don't want two
Speaker 4: hundred kids in my high school to judge me and
Speaker 4: like the forty friends of mine, and then you're like, instead,
Speaker 4: I'm going to do a reality show that is going
Speaker 4: to be a worldwide and not.
Speaker 5: Like you're right, you know what, what an idiot? But
Speaker 5: I also I was convinced when we were shooting that
Speaker 5: show that it was going to end up in a
Speaker 5: box somewhere. We were not actually going to air on MTV.
Speaker 5: There's no way we were going to be interesting. Like
Speaker 5: how naive I was. There was no way there's nothing
Speaker 5: they were going to find interesting about us. So so yeah,
Speaker 5: but you know, to there, but that was that moment
Speaker 5: where I was at the end of high school, you're
Speaker 5: kind of like, screw it, Like I chose a college
Speaker 5: where I knew no one else for my school was
Speaker 5: going to You're ready to really broaden your horizons. And yeah,
Speaker 5: it was an e fit moment for me, like let's
Speaker 5: let's do this, and and it was felt like it
Speaker 5: was something that was calling me because I did want
Speaker 5: to work in entertainment, and I also I talked about
Speaker 5: maybe sports broadcasting, but you know, watching Carson Daily TRL
Speaker 5: also something that interests me a lot growing up watching
Speaker 5: that show. So so yeah, so it's you know, that
Speaker 5: pulled and then you know again when the audition came.
Speaker 5: It's one of those moments where you know when you
Speaker 5: get that audition and as soon as it hits and
Speaker 5: you read a little bit about it, you're like, I
Speaker 5: really really want to get this one. It feels like
Speaker 5: this is a great fit if everything can align, like
Speaker 5: I'm on board one. Hopefully that energy is shared on
Speaker 5: the other end. But you know, we get a lot
Speaker 5: of auditions and different things, you know, come across our desks,
Speaker 5: but there are only a few where you get really
Speaker 5: really excited. And as soon as that popped up in
Speaker 5: my email, I was like, this has to be it.
Speaker 5: And by the way, that first audition did not I
Speaker 5: did not book it, but I was told right after
Speaker 5: like this this roll is it right for you? But
Speaker 5: there might be something soon after. So I was like, oh, shoot,
Speaker 5: that's exciting. We did not book it, but we might
Speaker 5: get on at some other points.
Speaker 6: So wow, man, how did you feel about the Clean
Speaker 6: teen storyline?
Speaker 5: I still hold a little piece of the Clean Teens
Speaker 5: with me today.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Oh my gosh. It's hard to let
Speaker 7: go all these years later of you just listening Steven
Speaker 7: has been wearing a wonderful black button up shirt that
Speaker 7: he just unbuttoned like Clark Kent.
Speaker 4: To reveal a clean teen shirt a joke. Go to
Speaker 4: YouTube to check it out. That I gotta tell you
Speaker 4: we didn't know he was. You made it like thirty
Speaker 4: minutes to do that. Good job.
Speaker 5: It's, you know, every Thursday, it's my clean teen day.
Speaker 4: There on Thursday's week, Clean team dude. A funny side story.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've ever told you this, but
Speaker 4: before either of us ever did One Tree Hill, I
Speaker 4: remember pulling up to an audition for an indie and
Speaker 4: as I was looking for a parking space, seeing you
Speaker 4: out front like reading lines for it and recognizing you,
Speaker 4: and having that moment of like, what's he doing here,
Speaker 4: Like he's already had his turn? Is even look at
Speaker 4: him taking it seriously reaching the reality show. It was
Speaker 4: just so clearly like like like fear and jealousy and security.
Speaker 4: But I remember remember just being like, oh, man, like, oh,
Speaker 4: he's probably gonna get it, and then like cut to
Speaker 4: we are on the same show a couple of years later.
Speaker 4: But I'll never forget like just seeing you like tucked
Speaker 4: away by a bush, reading your lines and going, damn it,
Speaker 4: you've already had your turn. Let someone else go.
Speaker 5: Man, thanks for saying hi.
Speaker 4: I know I was just too insecure back then. So
Speaker 4: when you and so hold on, So you did not
Speaker 4: audition for the role of Chase. No, And I don't know, gosh,
Speaker 4: I don't remember the role. And I don't even I
Speaker 4: don't know how long after you auditioned and didn't quite
Speaker 4: get it did it take for them they Did they
Speaker 4: call you and have you auditioned for Chase? Or do
Speaker 4: they just call you and go, this is the other
Speaker 4: thing we got for you.
Speaker 5: They called me and had the auditioned for Chase, and
Speaker 5: you know it was oh, man, I don't And maybe
Speaker 5: it was something early in season four, because I don't
Speaker 5: remember it being that long. It wasn't like a full
Speaker 5: like year and a half or so it was. It
Speaker 5: was maybe they already knew, maybe they knew that Chase
Speaker 5: was coming down the pipeline and they're like, oh, he
Speaker 5: would be better for this. I don't remember exactly how
Speaker 5: that played out, And I really wish I could tell
Speaker 5: you what that original character was that I went out for,
Speaker 5: but that's but I remember it being not too far
Speaker 5: out so I would have to say it was within
Speaker 5: the same season, and I know I popped in in
Speaker 5: season twelve, so maybe it was something in the earlier episodes.
Speaker 4: Fans in the comment section light it up. Let us
Speaker 4: know who you think it was the auditioned for, because
Speaker 4: soph and a John right now, I can't think no idea.
Speaker 6: Okay, things we do remember, because clearly we have no
Speaker 6: idea who you auditioned for first. But looking back on it,
Speaker 6: a bunch of people wanted to know what storyline of
Speaker 6: Chase is was your favorite.
Speaker 5: I really liked the storyline with Chuck and Chase. I
Speaker 5: thought that that was a cool, cool run for the
Speaker 5: two of them, and Chase taking on that role for
Speaker 5: him and then offering another perspective outside of those kind
Speaker 5: of relationships, and just being in the bar, being being
Speaker 5: an older brother to him and kind of, you know,
Speaker 5: I felt like Chases, like you send at the bar,
Speaker 5: he's given advice to folks. People are coming in and
Speaker 5: maybe I'll offer his two cents here and there, but
Speaker 5: it's actually kind of get out from behind the bar
Speaker 5: and be able to help, you know, mentor this kid
Speaker 5: in a way, and and and just you know, be
Speaker 5: there for him. Yeah, I had. I had a lot
Speaker 5: of fun with it, and I really enjoyed working with
Speaker 5: Michael May. It was at first this almost like a test.
Speaker 5: It was like, all right, he's, you know, very fun outset,
Speaker 5: wants to you know, throw the ball around once to
Speaker 5: play around. And I'm at that point where I'm like,
Speaker 5: all right, I got to come in focused, you know,
Speaker 5: uh nothing, no distractions, just the task and let's just
Speaker 5: try to get the good scene down and go about
Speaker 5: our day. And he's like, hey, man, like, can we
Speaker 5: toss the ball around? Like we tag should be hind
Speaker 5: and go seek run around the house. And I'm like,
Speaker 5: you're awesome. But I'm like, hey man, like, I'm trying
Speaker 5: to like stay focused for our seat. So it taught
Speaker 5: me something too. It was also kind of like a
Speaker 5: playful I learned a lot from him. You know. It's
Speaker 5: like to still have of that you know, playful enthusiasm
Speaker 5: on set because I would I took it so seriously
Speaker 5: because I really did not want to screw up, and
Speaker 5: you know, I just I would be very sometimes very
Speaker 5: intense on set, not like in a way that I was,
Speaker 5: you know, yelling at anybody all that, but I just
Speaker 5: kind of voice isolated in my corner and really just
Speaker 5: trying to stay locked in it. It's like, hey, you,
Speaker 5: first of all, you're like a sea storyline here, Like
Speaker 5: let's calm down. You know you're not You're not carrying
Speaker 5: the show the way that's Sofa and Rob bars, So like,
Speaker 5: you just got to have some fun with it. And he,
Speaker 5: you know, he allowed me to loosen up a little bit,
Speaker 5: and so it was cool. We kind of taught each
Speaker 5: other stuff on set, and I just thought it was
Speaker 5: it was really cool. The relationship between Chase and Chuck.
Speaker 5: Chuck Skolnick.
Speaker 4: There are two listener questions that blew my mind because
Speaker 4: both of them had spoilers for me, one about you
Speaker 4: in real life and one about Chase. Let's start. I
Speaker 4: want to start with the Chase one. Okay, it is, uh,
Speaker 4: who do you think Chase was best paired with Alex
Speaker 4: Mia or gasp Brook?
Speaker 3: Oh my good? Because you didn't know about high school?
Speaker 4: Because I've never seen seasons one through psych Wait wait
Speaker 4: wait wait wait.
Speaker 3: Wait wait wait wait.
Speaker 6: Before Steven answers, Steven, maybe the funniest thing that's happened
Speaker 6: to us on this podcast.
Speaker 3: Because you know, we thought season eight was going to
Speaker 3: be it.
Speaker 6: So as we think the whole show is going to
Speaker 6: wrap up, there's an episode with all these flashbacks from
Speaker 6: earlier seasons and the whole time were Rob's.
Speaker 3: Like, what what happened?
Speaker 6: I thought, you know, he's losing for shit because he
Speaker 6: never saw any of it and I didn't. It didn't
Speaker 6: even occur to me until this moment that you did
Speaker 6: not know that.
Speaker 3: Brooke was Chase's first one treat.
Speaker 4: Yep, that was I was today years old when as
Speaker 4: the kids say, when I just discovered that, that blew my mind.
Speaker 4: So you guys like a proper item was going.
Speaker 5: Oh it was serious.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we were met clean.
Speaker 5: Teens, even though Brooke was you know, she wasn't.
Speaker 3: Exactly Brook decided to be born again Virgin.
Speaker 4: Nice rebranding love that, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Just quick update the shirt that I'm wearing. Well, we'll
Speaker 5: display one more time. This is a great podcasting, uh
Speaker 5: Clean teams. And then on the back, I mean, I'll
Speaker 5: give you the co I'll give you the I'll give.
Speaker 6: You The people at home are probably like.
Speaker 4: You Virgin four, can you can you live? Oh gosh that's.
Speaker 5: Yep, yep, yep. So that's where we met. That's where
Speaker 5: that's where Chase and uh and Brook met. And yeah,
Speaker 5: Brooke was a Brook was a bit naughty. Was she
Speaker 5: corrupting Chase?
Speaker 3: Yeah a little.
Speaker 6: But by the way, hey, so this really goes deep
Speaker 6: and the fans who have watched the behind the scenes
Speaker 6: content will know. But Rob, there was a night near
Speaker 6: the end of season four. You know, the kids are
Speaker 6: maybe it was the end episode because it was the
Speaker 6: graduation party or something.
Speaker 3: But Chase and Brooke are in the back.
Speaker 6: Of a car and Steven's supposed to pull his shirt
Speaker 6: off and I'm supposed to pull my shirt off, and
Speaker 6: it's like a gag about a bra that I'm wearing.
Speaker 3: And Stephen folks his shirt up him one day that
Speaker 3: is wearing the same bra.
Speaker 6: And when I tell you, every single person who could
Speaker 6: see us camera ops sound. Everybody lost it and it
Speaker 6: made the like Blooper real that year.
Speaker 3: It was so funny.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's what I was thinking of. Where on the
Speaker 5: share under This is a little bit of a callback.
Speaker 3: To that, the nice callback for us. Thank you.
Speaker 5: Now, I'm gonna go with the Chases first. There, back
Speaker 5: to your guys' question about you know who you know who,
Speaker 5: Chase was I mean, was it was who I wish
Speaker 5: he ended up with her?
Speaker 4: What was the exact The exact question was who do
Speaker 4: you think Chase was best paired with?
Speaker 5: Oh? Yes, yeah, well, I mean, I mean that's a
Speaker 5: complicated question, I know. And first of all, I want
Speaker 5: to take a moment to say that I get a
Speaker 5: lot of questions about the Chase or or would you
Speaker 5: prefer Chase to be with Alex or Mia? And I've
Speaker 5: kind of thrown an answer out there, but I didn't
Speaker 5: really truly and like and Alex would or Jane would
Speaker 5: tell me. She was like, I hear that you've like
Speaker 5: kind of thrown out me his name a little bit.
Speaker 5: That's kind of like kind of bumps me out. And
Speaker 5: I was like, you know what, I'm so sorry. I
Speaker 5: didn't really even think about that. I was like, I
Speaker 5: kind of just gave a reason of like, well, you know,
Speaker 5: she's a musician, so you know, they could kind of
Speaker 5: sit on a porch, you know, later in life, and
Speaker 5: she would be playing music and that kind of sounds like,
Speaker 5: you know, that sounds really nice.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, the other girl that you didn't choose was also
Speaker 4: a musician who could have By the way, yeah, She.
Speaker 5: Also turns into Yeah, she becomes a musician as well.
Speaker 5: Chase loses both girls to tours with this guy who's
Speaker 5: big time Jesse.
Speaker 4: But I was giving that answer, and so was the
Speaker 4: answer that you that you had to lean towards Alex.
Speaker 5: Well, no, I was. I was leaning towards me based
Speaker 5: off of that.
Speaker 4: Hence Jenna's disappointment.
Speaker 5: Okay, not fair, yes, not fair to Janet. I think
Speaker 5: there is a lot of great things that happened between
Speaker 5: Chase and Alex. I think it did end very abruptly.
Speaker 5: No spoilers here, but our spoilers just a little bit
Speaker 5: because we see what you'll see in the next episode.
Speaker 5: But long story short, can you see I'm like back
Speaker 5: battling here. Clearly, I'm like, all right, I've screwed this
Speaker 5: up before.
Speaker 4: So I want to be the office. It's okay if
Speaker 4: you upset a few people here, Stephen.
Speaker 5: I want to be careful about how I answered this,
Speaker 5: so we're all traumatized by the comment sections Clearlys, I honestly,
Speaker 5: besides the kind of like half answer, have baked answer
Speaker 5: I'd get before about you know, Chasing and Mia sitting
Speaker 5: on a porch and her you know, playing music. I
Speaker 5: really think that both of them were great for Chase.
Speaker 5: I see great things about him both. You know, as
Speaker 5: far as Brooke goes, that was in high school. That
Speaker 5: was a long time ago. Uh so you know exactly,
Speaker 5: so everyone gets you know, you grow up and and
Speaker 5: you're you're wiser, more mature, and and it's a different,
Speaker 5: different human, if you will. So it's I would say,
Speaker 5: you narrow down to Chase's arcs there with with Mia
Speaker 5: and Alex, and I think both are worthy candidates. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't have not one doesn't stick out. Sorry, I'm sorry. No.
Speaker 4: By the way, when I was saying like there's things
Speaker 4: I forgot, I had zero recollection. I thought the whole
Speaker 4: time it was chasing Mia whole time. So all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, when you're when Chase and Alex start becoming
Speaker 4: a thing, I was like, I was saying this last season,
Speaker 4: we're watching the show. I'm like, this is I don't
Speaker 4: remember this, and I'm sure it's going to be very
Speaker 4: short lived. But this is a great little thing happened
Speaker 4: here and cut to now. It's been going on for
Speaker 4: so long. I don't know how my brain had just
Speaker 4: forgotten it. But it's a really fun relationship. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: great to watch.
Speaker 5: And watching some of it. Yeah, I was texting and saying, hey,
Speaker 5: I'm watching some of this stuff. You're really really great
Speaker 5: in the show, and give her a lot of credit.
Speaker 5: I had a lot of fun shooting those scenes with her. Yeah,
Speaker 5: she brings great energy to set and she's a great actress.
Speaker 5: So it was it was a lot of fun working
Speaker 5: with her. I was gonna rob I knew you'd appreciate
Speaker 5: the story, so I want to share back to the
Speaker 5: scene where chasing Brooker in the back of the car,
Speaker 5: and I had to I was wearing this bras a
Speaker 5: little gag to try to, you know, try to call
Speaker 5: the at least more probably attension for me, I don't
Speaker 5: think so if I had any attention. But it was
Speaker 5: like I was like their big first scene, I think,
Speaker 5: kind of getting hot and heavy. It was like, I
Speaker 5: want to try to like make keep it relaxed, so
Speaker 5: we'll do a little bit of a gag here. But
Speaker 5: as we were getting ready to roll a so this
Speaker 5: fog rolled in set. We're shooting outside. The car was
Speaker 5: like parked in like a four somewhere, so we had
Speaker 5: to we had a hold shooting for like forty five
Speaker 5: minutes to an hour, and I'm sitting there walking around
Speaker 5: in a bra and trying to kind of hold it
Speaker 5: from sof and like you we're kind of catching up
Speaker 5: and talking and didn't want her to see, you know anything,
Speaker 5: So I'm kind of just acting weird. But yeah, I
Speaker 5: had to walk around set for what I thought was
Speaker 5: gonna be about ten minutes and then pull the thing off.
Speaker 5: We do the scene, but I walked around for a
Speaker 5: good like hour and a half two hours in a
Speaker 5: bra on set. So there's a little behind the scenes
Speaker 5: on that story.
Speaker 6: You've walked a mile in the lady's shoes.
Speaker 4: Now, this is one of the things I love about
Speaker 4: you. You commit to a bit. Yeah there, you saw the value,
Speaker 4: you knew it was a good bit, and you just
Speaker 4: hung in there. Okay, we got to wrap this up
Speaker 4: in a moment. But here's the other question that again,
Speaker 4: I was like, wait a second, what Samantha asked what
Speaker 4: Traders tea? Can you speak? Are you on the current
Speaker 4: season of Traders or something? Hello?
Speaker 5: Oh what can I say?
Speaker 4: Listen? Hey, I got two kids under the age of four.
