Speaker 1: have you guys started to skip the opening credits or
Speaker 1: do you still watch and sing along? I don't watch
Speaker 1: the opening credits of any show. Yeah, we skipped. When
Speaker 1: we watched the first episode of season three, we actually
Speaker 1: missed the skip intro button and we had to watch
Speaker 1: the intro. We did sing a little, but we did
Speaker 1: we I think, for for posterity's sake, we did. Okay,
Speaker 1: hold on this forec I do love our intro song.
Speaker 1: But have you guys heard this thing on TikTok this
Speaker 1: girl singing our theme song but with different lyrics. No,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm going to this. It is so
Speaker 1: immage here and I love it um and I've had
Speaker 1: people send it to me so many times. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I gotta just bear with me for a moment. I
Speaker 1: saw this and thought it's pretty funny. Okay, how I
Speaker 1: gotta make sure my phone volume is up now? God,
Speaker 1: feel like Grandma. Okay, I don't want to be crying
Speaker 1: and thinking Amazon and I bought it and I want
Speaker 1: to thinking amazing about it. And I can't hear what
Speaker 1: they're saying. She's saying, She's saying, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be crying and puking and pissing and okay, I'm sending
Speaker 1: this to you and to the both of you right now.
Speaker 1: But I just love the people know they know, they're like,
Speaker 1: Hillary is gonna love this. So now, whenever I hear
Speaker 1: a theme song, this is what I think of. That's
Speaker 1: what you think of. I love that from MICHAELA. If
Speaker 1: you could choose one character from One Tree Hill to
Speaker 1: do a spinoff, who would it be? And why? Um
Speaker 1: I spin there's a lot of God, we had so
Speaker 1: many great characters who would have had a fun spinoff.
Speaker 1: I have my answer. Now tell me prequel Ellie Harp, Yes,
Speaker 1: sexy time mid eighties. Yep, that's it done, because that's it. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's what I want to see. That would be so fun. Actually,
Speaker 1: I love prequels and a great era like them on
Speaker 1: the road playing music, being sexy. She gets pregnant, he's
Speaker 1: a yeah, he's just a degenerate and he doesn't help her,
Speaker 1: and she's like, I'm on drugs. You know. I would
Speaker 1: love to see all the parents in that era. Kevin Kilner,
Speaker 1: m m M all right, okay, yeah. I would also
Speaker 1: just love a good eighties drama. I want more of that,
Speaker 1: like that episode of Black Mirror, Sanjo and Apparel, which
Speaker 1: was like eighties but also futuristic, and the time Jumping Crazy.
Speaker 1: I want a whole series of that. That was a
Speaker 1: really good episode. Um, we have a question from Jess.
Speaker 1: Jess wants to know what cast members had the best
Speaker 1: dinners after work and what were their go to dishes.
Speaker 1: We weren't old enough to cook yet, No, we were.
Speaker 1: We could order. Yeah, I don't know that we were
Speaker 1: at dinner party age, but we I mean we haunted
Speaker 1: Deluxe that those two places Man the Beef Wellington at
Speaker 1: Circa I was obsessed with. I would get the filet
Speaker 1: with crab that was Rember. They like, that was so fancy.
Speaker 1: They put crab on it. It probably came out of
Speaker 1: a jar. No, I'm sure it didn't. Um. Deluxe had
Speaker 1: a good steak, they had a good fish. They always
Speaker 1: I loved going there. That was what we did, though
Speaker 1: we didn't really like throw. I mean I would attempt
Speaker 1: to cook sometimes. Well, we worked eighteen hours a day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was tough. It wasn't. We didn't. It was That's
Speaker 1: kind of the last thing you want to do after
Speaker 1: you work a long day, is go home and cook something.
Speaker 1: As much as I would love to be Audrey Hepburn,
Speaker 1: who makes you know, fifty pounds of spaghetti for an
Speaker 1: entire crew full of people, I just I was exhausted.
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. You know what I would do
Speaker 1: when I looked about fire Belly when we first started Joy,
Speaker 1: I would just stock my fridge with liquor. And and
Speaker 1: I was not a drinker, so I didn't know like
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to drink at different hours, and so
Speaker 1: I was drinking bloody Mary's at like eleven o'clock at night,
Speaker 1: and like who wants a bloody man cute? And everyone
Speaker 1: was like a blood Mary's like a meal sort of.
Speaker 1: Bloody mary is like an air that is just an
Speaker 1: airplane airport drink. I don't know what else you use
Speaker 1: that for. I love them, I guess yeah, I can
Speaker 1: drink them at eleven o'clock at night. No. I feel
Speaker 1: like Sophia through a couple of parties that were great,
Speaker 1: and she always had like charcuterie, like soup's real good.
Speaker 1: Like putting a board together, Um, yeah, that takes time
Speaker 1: and talent. You gotta learn how to find the right things.
Speaker 1: And yeah, she's definitely one of those people knows how
Speaker 1: to just with it right, got to mix the colors
Speaker 1: up that stuff. You know what I love is that
Speaker 1: Quinns paste. I discovered that in Wilmington's. It's a little
Speaker 1: uh you'll see it in cheese shops. It's comes in
Speaker 1: a usually in a square jar or square thing and
Speaker 1: it's like a pink looks like pink gelatin, but it's
Speaker 1: quince jam basically, but it's thicker than jam. It's between
Speaker 1: a gelatin and a jam, but it's not like jello.
Speaker 1: It's harder. Um, I don't know it's quince paste. It's paste,
Speaker 1: but it's made out of quast and it's yummy on
Speaker 1: crackers and cheese. You know what we had in Wilmington's
Speaker 1: that was the first time experience. Um. That I loved
Speaker 1: is that our crew members would have oyster roasts and
Speaker 1: I had never been to one of those, and I
Speaker 1: always felt like a big dummy because I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Um. But they would
Speaker 1: have like big fire pits with a big grate and
Speaker 1: they would put all the oysters on there and then
Speaker 1: they know, pop open when they're ready to go. That
Speaker 1: was cool. That was a cool cultural thing to get into.
Speaker 1: So fun. There's so many things about living in the
Speaker 1: South that I just adored. Okay, let's see jing as
Speaker 1: was what was the best lesson? Were we about to
Speaker 1: ask the same questions drawn to the same question. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: they asked, what was the best lesson you learned from
Speaker 1: your experience on the set of One Tree Hill? So
Speaker 1: many things. Oh my gosh, I think a lot. I
Speaker 1: mean a lot of the lessons that we learned were
Speaker 1: just set behavior and um, you know, hanging up your
Speaker 1: wardrobe when you're done at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: and your trailers so they don't have to follow you
Speaker 1: around and look for your socks, and you know where
Speaker 1: do you throw the shirt, and and you know, being
Speaker 1: on being there, on time, being you know how to
Speaker 1: behave even the little things like don't um stand behind
Speaker 1: the camera, don't if you if you are behind the camera,
Speaker 1: don't move around, don't watch the person who's performing. There's
Speaker 1: so many technical things that are such an it's an
Speaker 1: invaluable lesson to be able to be on a show
Speaker 1: for that long and learn all these little things so
Speaker 1: that when you move on to other jobs. They know
Speaker 1: that you're a pro. They know you can just pick
Speaker 1: right up where everybody else is. Yeah, it's a metaphor.
Speaker 1: All that stuff that you said, Joy is a metaphor
Speaker 1: for understanding that there's always someone there earlier than you,
Speaker 1: and there's always someone there later than you. And if
Speaker 1: you move through the world understanding that other people are
Speaker 1: working harder than you, it makes you respect everyone around you,
Speaker 1: regardless of what profession you work in. UM. Absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it really boils down to courtesy and respect
Speaker 1: and professionalism. Set a bar. You know. One of the
Speaker 1: things I love about all of us is, UM, the
Speaker 1: best of our experiences on this show taught us to
Speaker 1: be good producers and good team players, and we set
Speaker 1: a standard of excellence and that is meant to you know,
Speaker 1: motivate and challenge us and those around us. Lets everybody
Speaker 1: know they're going to be respected in a space. And
Speaker 1: I love that. Like I, I want to set a
Speaker 1: high bar and then I want to learn stuff I
Speaker 1: don't know every day when I strive to hit it
Speaker 1: and showing up curious and uh and humble, I think
Speaker 1: is a was a really big deal as a professional industry.
Speaker 1: Agree what a question Caitlin asks, do you have any
Speaker 1: outfits from the show that you kept. What I've Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got some shirts and oh you know what I do.
Speaker 1: I sleep in that. Remember when we went to honey
Speaker 1: Grove and we were on the bus. There's a long
Speaker 1: sleeve T shirt. What the hell is the band? Is
Speaker 1: it like a led Zeppelin shirt or something. Oh, I
Speaker 1: sleep in it like once a week, and I forget
Speaker 1: that it was on the show. But it's got like
Speaker 1: holes and ship in it now. But yeah, it was
Speaker 1: like super soft it. Oh. I love that. I kept
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, but not like I don't know
Speaker 1: if I still have any. Oh I do, Yeah, closet
Speaker 1: a storage units. I have two bins. Yeah, I've got
Speaker 1: two bins of one driel stuff in valley. Um. I
Speaker 1: have my cute little vintage Piette dress also from how
Speaker 1: You Growth? I have Um, I don't remember. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I took stuff like at the very end. Um,
Speaker 1: I've got like when Brooke had that crazy storyline. I
Speaker 1: guess it would have been like season six with creepy Savior. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was wearing this like cool sort of metallic striped
Speaker 1: sweater in the parking garage. But because I had to
Speaker 1: get thrown on the ground so many times, they bought
Speaker 1: a bunch of them. So I have like three of
Speaker 1: them because I think I intended on like doing a
Speaker 1: giveaway at one of our first conventions, but then I
Speaker 1: couldn't come because I was stuck in Chicago. So I
Speaker 1: just like have these sweaters I've never given anyone um.
Speaker 1: And I have Brooks like photo album that she goes
Speaker 1: through on her birthday. I have just like a bunch
Speaker 1: of little cute things. I have the the white shirt
Speaker 1: that I wore in the last episode on the beach.
Speaker 1: You know that great outfit. Yeah, the best that I
Speaker 1: wish you had that whole outfit, I know, But that
Speaker 1: white shirt was actually mine and I remember bringing it
Speaker 1: in because I did a fitting and nothing that they
Speaker 1: had I just didn't like any of it. And I
Speaker 1: was like, I was trying to explain what I wanted,
Speaker 1: and I think they had brought in a bunch of
Speaker 1: like white tanks, but they were kind of that thick
Speaker 1: ribbed material and I was like, hang on a second.
Speaker 1: I either it was in my car I went home
Speaker 1: and got it or something, but I brought that in
Speaker 1: and we were like, I was like, let's just throw
Speaker 1: abroad or this and do this, and so we kind
Speaker 1: of put it all together. But I mean, that was
Speaker 1: my my personal best outfit ever. I love this. You
Speaker 1: were the one that was like, this is how we're
Speaker 1: going to orchestrate this. Um, Jenny wants to know out
Speaker 1: of all the Tree Hill parents, who offered the best advice.
Speaker 1: Everybody gave great advice. Honestly. Yeah. I mean Moira for me,
Speaker 1: I've already talked about how she was like run when
Speaker 1: she got really bad for me. Um, and I liked
Speaker 1: that she was giving advice to me, not to It
Speaker 1: wasn't Karen giving advice to Peyton Sawyer. It was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I care about you, I don't care about the job.
Speaker 1: You know. We were lucky that we had those people.
Speaker 1: Paul was that way too. Paul is always looking out
Speaker 1: for us, always you know, looking to help out. And UM,
Speaker 1: I do love that about him that he's you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's rough around the edges. And that's kind of
Speaker 1: part of the charm too, is that he just will
Speaker 1: say what he's he'll say it, and sometimes it you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a little like, oh God, your bedside manner
Speaker 1: could use a little you know, like that was ol
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make it untrue. It's just you know,
Speaker 1: and and you know, you got to earn a tougher
Speaker 1: skin sometimes. But I could always count on him to
Speaker 1: say the truth of what the situation was and um.
Speaker 1: And there are many times when he knows exactly how
Speaker 1: to catch things and you know, wait and kind of
Speaker 1: pull you aside or whatever. UM. So that was really great.
Speaker 1: Barbara was also a wonderful person to talk to. It.
Speaker 1: I mean, Barbara was there when I had to put
Speaker 1: my cat down. I called her because I didn't have
Speaker 1: a mom in a presence there in Wilmington's at all,
Speaker 1: and so she was I was like, I called her,
Speaker 1: and she came over and sat with me when the
Speaker 1: vet came over. And she was always somebody that I
Speaker 1: could just go and just snuggle with. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just felt like she was looking out for all
Speaker 1: of us big time. You know. Barbara is um one
Speaker 1: of the first people that knew I was pregnant. She
Speaker 1: with gus because when she was pregnant with Olivia, she
Speaker 1: had to go get her amnio done and she asked
Speaker 1: me to drive her and to go with her to
Speaker 1: that appointment, and so I felt so honored and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my God, like okay, yeah, And that
Speaker 1: was in my last season on the show. And so
Speaker 1: I went with her to this this baby doctor and
Speaker 1: knew it was like super high tech and like fancy,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know anything else outside of that. It
Speaker 1: was just like Barbara's going to the best doctor in Wilmington's.
Speaker 1: So when I got pregnant, I sent her an email
Speaker 1: and I was like, Hey, remember that doctor that we
Speaker 1: went to when you were having a baby, Like if
Speaker 1: I had a friend who was having a baby, what
Speaker 1: was that doctor's name? And she's like, well, you can
Speaker 1: tell your friend that was, you know. And they gave
Speaker 1: me the information and was so cool and kind of
Speaker 1: coy about it. You're right, like Barbe to me, barb
Speaker 1: was always more like big sister energy than parent energy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was a cool girl. Yeah, she's got a lot
Speaker 1: on her plate all the time. But she's one of
Speaker 1: those people that I could I feel like I could
Speaker 1: always call her no matter what. If I haven't talked
Speaker 1: her in two three years, I could still just pick
Speaker 1: up the phone and be like, Babs, I need you
Speaker 1: and she's right there. Do you remember when we announced
Speaker 1: to the cast that we were doing this podcast and
Speaker 1: she was the first person that wrote back and was like, oh, ray,
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Flooded our text box, our Instagram's everything,
Speaker 1: just I'm so so excited for you girls. Way to go,
Speaker 1: so proud of you. I'm gonna call her right now.
Speaker 1: I love her. Thank you Jenny for reminding me how
Speaker 1: much I love Barbara Allen Woods. Um, Clara wants to
Speaker 1: know what's the shooting locations. If the shooting locations are real?
Speaker 1: Locations are on the stage, so many Yeah, like Peyton's room,
Speaker 1: Haley and Nathan's apartment, Karen's cafe. What's a good question.
Speaker 1: So Karen's Cafe is a real location. Um, it is
Speaker 1: a storefront on the corner of Front and Grace Streets
Speaker 1: in Wilmington's And I mean god, we rented that for
Speaker 1: nine years. We just I guess we leased it. How crazy.
Speaker 1: But then Peton's room and Haley and Nathan's apartment we
Speaker 1: built those on stages. But Peyton's room was tied into
Speaker 1: a very real house. Yes, Peyton's house and Haley's house,
Speaker 1: the exteriors are right across the street from each other,
Speaker 1: and everything in Peyton's house had to match what was
Speaker 1: on the stage, so like the stairs had to be
Speaker 1: the same, the hallway had to be the same, especially
Speaker 1: when we got into later seasons where I was like,
Speaker 1: you know where we were fighting Psycho deeric Um. You
Speaker 1: had to be able to go from doing a scene
Speaker 1: in the house two three days later shooting the same
Speaker 1: exact sequence but the second half of it on the
Speaker 1: stage in the room, which could get super confusing. But
Speaker 1: what I will say is that the guy who lives
Speaker 1: in Peyton's house, Um, we just watched an episode where
Speaker 1: Peyton is like screaming at her dad and they're like
Speaker 1: flying out of the back the back door. They had
Speaker 1: just had a baby, and we like, this baby needed
Speaker 1: a nap, and we're like salam indoors and stuff, and
Speaker 1: I'm so apologetic, And his in laws were over, So
Speaker 1: every time I would have to be like, god, dad,
Speaker 1: you're like the word first and slam the doors and
Speaker 1: running the house. His whole family was sitting in the
Speaker 1: kitchen because they were all there to see the new baby,
Speaker 1: and I'd have to be like hi, guys, Hi guys.
Speaker 1: So the duality of like playing house with people and
Speaker 1: uh screaming. That's the best part about shooting on a
Speaker 1: real location. It's real life. Yeah, yeah, it feels real.
Speaker 1: It actually helps. I love the feeling of being in
Speaker 1: a real space because it helps me connect because it's real.
Speaker 1: You know, a set is always going to feel like
Speaker 1: a set, and you can find your way into the
Speaker 1: reality of the moment. But it does help to have
Speaker 1: a very actual, real space around you. For me, it does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me too. It really helps you suspend your disbelief. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you guys so much. Keep them coming because um,
Speaker 1: I like doing these. What a blast. Yeah, hey, thanks
