Speaker 1: First of all, you don't know me. Were all about
Speaker 1: that high school drama, Girl Drama, Girl, all about them
Speaker 1: high school queens. We'll take you for a ride in
Speaker 1: our comic girl sharing for the drama Queen's Girl Fashion.
Speaker 1: But you'll tough, girl. You could sit with us Girl
Speaker 1: Drama Queens, Drama Queen's Drawn mc Queen's Drama John mc
Speaker 1: Queen's Drama Queens. You guys, we needed this episode so bad. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Hey,
Speaker 1: Season four. I love this episode is so good. Episode
Speaker 1: thirteen Pictures of You. I wish we had all these pictures?
Speaker 1: How come we never got copies of these? I know
Speaker 1: somebody sent us some presents. Damn it? All right, give
Speaker 1: him the synopsis. Grundown ladies, Okay kids. This episode aired
Speaker 1: originally February seventh, two thousand seven. A class assignment reveals
Speaker 1: the deepest secrets and desires of Luke and the students
Speaker 1: at Tree Hill. Hi Lori about college prospects. Antoine turns
Speaker 1: to Haley, while Nathan Russell's with deb suicide attempt. Chase
Speaker 1: learns that Brooke cheated on her calculus exam. All nudity
Speaker 1: and drugs run rampant. In the halls of the school. Surprise, Surprise.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is like the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, these these synopsis that the plurals, I don't
Speaker 1: like them. I'm like, I feel that these are undercutting
Speaker 1: the importance of an episode like this. I don't know whatever,
Speaker 1: but it has to be titilating to get perhaps so
Speaker 1: much more that happened in this episode. This episode is
Speaker 1: a testimony to how teenagers talking about their feelings and
Speaker 1: just having conversations is great TV. It's interesting, like nothing happened,
Speaker 1: Nothing happened happened, guys, it's one class like And that's
Speaker 1: the cool thing, you know, when you when you edit
Speaker 1: your hour of television for network with commercial breaks, it's
Speaker 1: forty three minutes, and and the the teacher of the
Speaker 1: coping John Capellas, the custodian from the breakfast Club Iconic
Speaker 1: Get for Us, says, you've got forty five minutes. And
Speaker 1: it's so cool to have an episode actually take place
Speaker 1: in the length of time of episode. I mean, we
Speaker 1: could have made this show run forever if every episode
Speaker 1: was just like a class period, like the whole season
Speaker 1: is just like a couple of days, we would have
Speaker 1: been so old by the time senior year would have
Speaker 1: been seasons one through ten. Yeah, fine, good. John was
Speaker 1: a big get, big, huge, huge get because we all
Speaker 1: grew up watching The Breakfast Club and John Hughes movies. Yes,
Speaker 1: and Seinfeld, what is your favorite John Hughes movie, because
Speaker 1: that was you know, for the kids that watch our
Speaker 1: show on streaming right now and they watch our show
Speaker 1: is kind of this like retro you know, throw back thing.
Speaker 1: For us, it was John Hughes movies, Like I watched
Speaker 1: them obsessively in high school to the point that I
Speaker 1: joined the John Cryer fan club, and because I loved
Speaker 1: Duckie so much from Pretty and Pink. Yes, I didn't
Speaker 1: watch John Hughes movies growing up. For me, it was
Speaker 1: I was that was like a few years before my time, um,
Speaker 1: and so I just was watching. I was either watching
Speaker 1: like really old like Turner classic movies, which is kind
Speaker 1: of I think probably where your retro love for John
Speaker 1: Hughes movies came into, because we all loved stuff that
Speaker 1: was older. But yeah, but I don't remember what I
Speaker 1: was watching. I didn't start watching John Hughes movies until
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties and was like, wait, what
Speaker 1: did I miss? I miss? I love I just I did.
Speaker 1: I loved them so much and I got into Interestingly enough,
Speaker 1: this season of the show. I was watching Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: on EPTE and Bevan and I were living together in
Speaker 1: l A. She was my roommate in l A. She
Speaker 1: was coming back and forth because she was starting to
Speaker 1: audition for other stuff because she was doing so well
Speaker 1: on our show. And I will just never forget. There
Speaker 1: was like a holiday break. I think it was when
Speaker 1: I was going home for Thanksgiving and I had the
Speaker 1: flu and I got home and just crawled on my
Speaker 1: couch and turned on The Breakfast Club. My mom brought
Speaker 1: me soup and I was like, I'm miserable, but this
Speaker 1: is also my best day. And I watched The Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club twice, just like back to front, and I was
Speaker 1: like playing again. My favorite one was Curly Sue, though,
Speaker 1: if I had to pick, like, I think that's just
Speaker 1: because that was the one that he made during our
Speaker 1: actual era. Everything else was made. Yeah. Oh, I totally
Speaker 1: didn't even know that. I've never seen that one. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, Jim Belushi and Kelly Lynch Okay, great, she's
Speaker 1: she's this little orphan like a con artist. It's great, okay, dude.
Speaker 1: Watching John Hughes movies as an adult with my pre
Speaker 1: teen child has been an eye opener because, like you, Sophia,
Speaker 1: I have, it's all warm and fuzzy. It's like, these
Speaker 1: movies are my childhood. I love him so much. And
Speaker 1: then you sit down and you watch you know, Pretty
Speaker 1: and Pink with a little boy, and he's like The
Speaker 1: Breakfast He's like, this movie is disgusting, the way they
Speaker 1: objectify the school and the fact that she picks that
Speaker 1: rich bull over ducky. Like my child was mad. Like
Speaker 1: three quarters of the way through the movie, he's like,
Speaker 1: I love this. Last quarter he's like, this is stupid.
Speaker 1: I hate it. I watched The Breakfast Club with him
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the school year because I thought
Speaker 1: it would be a cool way to kick off middle school,
Speaker 1: like seventh grade and wrong. Wrong. He was so grossed
Speaker 1: out by everything that they did to Molly Ringwald and
Speaker 1: then the bad makeover they gave Ali shetty at the
Speaker 1: end where they took her from me the Weirdo and
Speaker 1: made her look like a middle aged grandma Frosting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so it's kind of um It's kind of strange
Speaker 1: to look at this episode, which is so deeply based
Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club, and I think this one holds up.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not quite as quite as gross. They're
Speaker 1: not not I and I will say, I think what's
Speaker 1: interesting is you look, you realize that as every decade passes,
Speaker 1: you look back on your warm and fuzzies and you go, oof,
Speaker 1: that didn't that didn't age great? Okay, But I think
Speaker 1: the overarching idea to Joy's point is that kids talking
Speaker 1: about their feelings, trying to find their way, however flawed
Speaker 1: those movies look to us now, however flawed certain episodes
Speaker 1: of our show look to us now. I mean, god, Joy,
Speaker 1: we had a field day with last week's episode. Oh
Speaker 1: and then this comes we missed you. We were just
Speaker 1: like this is scary. Um. You know, then you get
Speaker 1: to an episode like this and it's like, this is
Speaker 1: the best of what it can be and absolutely and
Speaker 1: these all of these kids trying to find their place,
Speaker 1: trying to do their best, trying to figure out, you know,
Speaker 1: who they are when no one's looking, and what they
Speaker 1: can say when barely anyone is around. Like it's beautiful
Speaker 1: metering sing it maybe that's what's fixing. It is teenagers
Speaker 1: sitting around talking about their feelings. Because the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: which took place in the eighties, is talking about how
Speaker 1: they cannot relate to their parents who grew up in
Speaker 1: the sixties and seventies, and then our show is taking
Speaker 1: place in the early two thousand's talking about how we
Speaker 1: don't understand the grown ups in the world around us
Speaker 1: that existed in the eighties. And so maybe this new
Speaker 1: incarnation of teenagers sitting around talking about what nightmares we
Speaker 1: are and dissecting shows like ours is incredibly helpful because
Speaker 1: with each generation of teenagers that come through, hopefully the
Speaker 1: conversation is getting more on and like making everyone, um
Speaker 1: more empathetic to each other. Yeah, I that was a
Speaker 1: major That was a huge Probably the overarching theme of
Speaker 1: this episode is empathy because it made me that moment
Speaker 1: at the end when Lucas walked up to Glenda's car,
Speaker 1: it really got me. It made me emotional. Um, just
Speaker 1: being able to put yourself in the shoes of someone
Speaker 1: who you don't normally spend time with her, whose eyes
Speaker 1: you don't normally look through. Um, there was something so
Speaker 1: beautiful about that, And I hope that It seemed like
Speaker 1: at the end of this episode, if I was a
Speaker 1: teenager and watching this, it would make me want to
Speaker 1: go to school the next day and reach across to
Speaker 1: somebody that was really different from me, who I didn't
Speaker 1: normally interact with. It's such a cool idea for an assignment,
Speaker 1: you know, the the icebreaker of it all makes that possible.
Speaker 1: And I I loved Lucas and Glenda. I loved it,
Speaker 1: like and by the way, there was a moment where
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like, these are the scenes I wanted
Speaker 1: to see last week between Lucas and Peyton. Yes, how jealous.
Speaker 1: I I'm like, look, how where are you? Look how
Speaker 1: much fun they're having just talking to each other. It
Speaker 1: looks so nice. It was such a good storyline. And
Speaker 1: and yeah, the way they bridge that divide as these
Speaker 1: two characters. And you see, you know from the Jimmy
Speaker 1: Edwards episode in season three, who she is becoming in
Speaker 1: the way she is kind of hiding herself. And at
Speaker 1: first she says that that's out of anger and dismissal,
Speaker 1: and then she admits it's a little out of fear.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, there's something in the way that
Speaker 1: they're able to open up to each other. Maybe because
Speaker 1: I think we said this a few episodes ago, maybe
Speaker 1: it's a little lower stakes when it's someone who doesn't
Speaker 1: know you as well. But oh man, I love the
Speaker 1: hand highlight. We finally got Lucas is a goth. I
Speaker 1: mean begging for this for weeks and we got it.
Speaker 1: We were the leader to seeing all the makeup on
Speaker 1: the ground and I'm like, yes, yes, hold on it.
Speaker 1: And it was like a split second. I needed to
Speaker 1: live in like deep eyeliner Lucas more than a split second. Definitely,
Speaker 1: I wanted more. I wanted like the nail polish on
Speaker 1: the eyeliner. I could have done without, like whatever they
Speaker 1: put in his hair, but you know whatever, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not the department head. It's not my job. Amber
Speaker 1: Wallace deserves a huge show because she really did such
Speaker 1: a great job carrying this episode. You know, her portion
Speaker 1: of this episode. To come in as a recurring guest star.
Speaker 1: She was not a part of our normal family, and
Speaker 1: so to be able to have her come in and
Speaker 1: carry that weight on a level playing field with everybody else,
Speaker 1: um was really impressive. Um. I thought she was so
Speaker 1: understated and honest in her performance, and she brought out
Speaker 1: the best in Chad too. He did such a nice job.
Speaker 1: You could tell that he really trusted her, And that's
Speaker 1: unusual for a lead in a series with a with
Speaker 1: a guest that comes in because we have so many
Speaker 1: people that rotate through. It can feel hard to fully
Speaker 1: trust an actor who you don't know very well when
Speaker 1: you get a constant rotation of people. And it's a
Speaker 1: real testimony to her abilities. So I just wanted to
Speaker 1: give her a shout out because she's great, absolutely, and
Speaker 1: they had such a good chemistry And I love again,
Speaker 1: you know, this notion that it's so important to talk
Speaker 1: and get vulnerable to figure out where you are on
Speaker 1: your journey. I love seeing chemistry between two characters like
Speaker 1: these that isn't laced with sexual attention. Yeah, because so
Speaker 1: much of it is. And it's like, oh god, I
Speaker 1: want more of this. I want more scenes like this. Yea,
Speaker 1: beyond their their sexuality, people are interesting. Yeah, what's so
Speaker 1: funny though? The boys get to do that all the time.
Speaker 1: Like Lucas had his friend that girl he met out
Speaker 1: on the basketball Corps. He and Daniella got to have
Speaker 1: like a platonic thing once she was like, we're not
Speaker 1: working out. Um, Hayton and Lucas were platonic for a
Speaker 1: very long time. Uh, and he's platonic here. He's platonic
Speaker 1: with Haley, Like he gets to do that all the time.
Speaker 1: And Nathan also gets to do that a lot of
Speaker 1: the time. But for characters like Brook, you know or
Speaker 1: not really Peyton's good nightmare. Um, but like Brook and
Speaker 1: Rachel and the other girls, mouth is the only one
Speaker 1: they're platonic with, and literally everyone else is like just
Speaker 1: laced within you end out. And I wish that everyone
Speaker 1: had gotten those platonic relationships because of the things that
Speaker 1: I've maintained from my high school experience. I mean, you
Speaker 1: guys know, I'm friends with all my friends from high school,
Speaker 1: and it's because we were all like pals and grew
Speaker 1: up together. And I don't know, I wish the girls
Speaker 1: had more opportunity to lean into that. I do too.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have to kiss everybody, And you know
Speaker 1: what I like about you bringing that up? Is it
Speaker 1: in a way that what Shelly is talking about. In
Speaker 1: this episode, Liz's whole storyline revolves around Shelly saying, I
Speaker 1: don't know why I have to either be a radical
Speaker 1: virgin or a slut. I'm just a girl and I
Speaker 1: like I like boys, and I'm nerdy and I'm excitable
Speaker 1: and sometimes I feel awkward, and and it's that's that's
Speaker 1: the truth. Like there seemed to be this really kind
Speaker 1: of extreme um spectrum for for all the girls. It
Speaker 1: was like you wanted to sleep with everybody, or you
Speaker 1: slept with nobody, And it's like, that's kind of not
Speaker 1: real point. It's funny that it's so ironic though, that
Speaker 1: they were writing that for her and trying to make
Speaker 1: that the point, and yet her photo at the end
Speaker 1: was so sexualized, and so that was something that would
Speaker 1: belong in Maxim magazine, a photo of a top on
Speaker 1: it says teen, you know what I mean what we say,
Speaker 1: don't look at what we do. That's kind of I
Speaker 1: was like, where they nail the photos with everybody except her,
Speaker 1: that was the only one. I thought, Yeah, we could
Speaker 1: have represented that better. I mean, even if she was
Speaker 1: just standing in a white T shirt, like what in
Speaker 1: the middle of a I don't know what it what
Speaker 1: is it like a normal sitting at a desk, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what do you think I
Speaker 1: I don't know, it would have been I think what
Speaker 1: would have been really cool? And maybe we just didn't
Speaker 1: have the capabilities with the tiny cannon elf that we
Speaker 1: were taking photos on at this era, But I would
Speaker 1: have loved to have seen if they had split screened it,
Speaker 1: So if you had given her half of that photo
Speaker 1: and half of a photo of her in the clean
Speaker 1: teen shirt and the jeans, and like, I like the
Speaker 1: idea that she's like, no, I'm both of these things.
Speaker 1: But but to go from you know, me as a
Speaker 1: clean teen and here's my wild side. I was like,
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like the point of her conversation
Speaker 1: is I run. I run the length of this spectrum. Actually,
Speaker 1: and all all girls do. We have the easy She
Speaker 1: should have been wearing her clean teen shirt, but like
Speaker 1: cut off the clean part, so it just seventeen, yeah,
Speaker 1: with the so easy exactly exactly cut clean teen into
Speaker 1: a crop top since those were a big deal then
Speaker 1: because we were all miss in the top half of
Speaker 1: our plants, lean into the two thousand seven style and
Speaker 1: like say both aims. Leave it a teen, just teen,
Speaker 1: just standing there with a backpack slung over her shoulder
Speaker 1: by one of the trees on the campus in a
Speaker 1: teen shirt. Yeah, it would have been really cool. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: we rewrote it. In my memory, it's different. You know
Speaker 1: what I did love though, enjoy You weren't You weren't
Speaker 1: with us last week. But Liz was saying how much
Speaker 1: she really enjoyed filming that whole sequence with Lee, that
Speaker 1: the Shelly and Mouth storyline, that that despite everything going
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes, filming with him, she felt really
Speaker 1: safe and protected and that that scene was really fun.
Speaker 1: And I love knowing that that, you know, despite us
Speaker 1: looking at it and going, okay, they really they took
Speaker 1: it real far in the writer's room, that that they
Speaker 1: were able to have like a really great positive experience
Speaker 1: together is nice to know they had great chemistry. I
Speaker 1: love that that when they're walking out on the edge
Speaker 1: of the quad and they're both they both have their
Speaker 1: hands in their pockets and their shoulders are kind of
Speaker 1: up and they're just walking side by side, but they're
Speaker 1: not touching what they want to hold hands like that
Speaker 1: killed me, the way they were mimicking each other's body language.
Speaker 1: I love these two. Yeah, it felt like doing theater
Speaker 1: this episode because we all we all would work like
Speaker 1: two or three days with just our person, and we
Speaker 1: got to do longer scenes and it really felt like
Speaker 1: scene study with just one partner, and we didn't get
Speaker 1: to do that very often. Normally our world is so
Speaker 1: like there's eight hundred extras and you're on the quad
Speaker 1: odd and it's chaotic. And the fact that we all
Speaker 1: just got to do scene work, it was a nice,
Speaker 1: relutely right that in fact, you could take that entire
Speaker 1: episode and put it on stage, different vignyettes in different areas,
Speaker 1: and it would live on its own. It could totally
Speaker 1: live on its own. You don't need to know any
Speaker 1: of the characters, because they say everybody explains everything about
Speaker 1: themselves to each other, so the whole episode lives on
Speaker 1: its own as a play, even if you don't know
Speaker 1: any of the characters. We have to do this in
Speaker 1: high school somewhere, we should what's our new honey Grove um. Also,
Speaker 1: I love that You're like, let's do it at a
Speaker 1: high school, and I'm like, let's take it to Broadway.
Speaker 1: I'm like this, I actually think this would be like incredible.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about let's talk about our characters. I loved
Speaker 1: Sophia watching Brooke um, be honest and vulnerable and not
Speaker 1: getting anything out of it like she I don't know
Speaker 1: that she normally does. That's not like a comparison, but
Speaker 1: it was just nice to see someone do that. But
Speaker 1: she was just so real and honest with him, and
Speaker 1: at the risk of losing something that she she did
Speaker 1: really like this guy. I mean, okay, it has been
Speaker 1: like a day, but you know they how long does
Speaker 1: she know him? Like three days? Yea. But for her,
Speaker 1: those emotions felt really big, and it's so scary every
Speaker 1: time you get a new opportunity, Um, it's scary to
Speaker 1: risk it. Mm hmm. And something I loved about it
Speaker 1: is that it's really the first time that you begin
Speaker 1: to understand more about her in her life. And it's
Speaker 1: such a great scene because this is true for so
Speaker 1: many people. Chase when she admits that she feels like
Speaker 1: she's not enough And I said this while we were watching.
Speaker 1: I said, you know, it's the only time I'm glad
Speaker 1: that the boss like betrayed my trust because that was
Speaker 1: a conversation that we had had and I remember, I
Speaker 1: remember getting the script and feelings, so I just felt
Speaker 1: like naked. What was the conversation? Would you were you
Speaker 1: just about how you felt to yeah, take our sort
Speaker 1: of most personal stories and then would use them in
Speaker 1: the show. And for me, it had been so hard,
Speaker 1: and it had been long before this too, to admit
Speaker 1: feeling that way and to then see it come around
Speaker 1: in the script, I was just like, oh no, yeah,
Speaker 1: without getting a phone call of like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: that was really inspiring to me. I feel like we
Speaker 1: can use that with Brooke and a lot of girls
Speaker 1: will relate to this. Whatever that there was no warning,
Speaker 1: and especially now we're at the point where we knew
Speaker 1: we couldn't trust our boss, so it's like, oh God,
Speaker 1: I shared something with you before I knew I couldn't
Speaker 1: trust you, and now you're using it against But it's
Speaker 1: truly the only time I will ever say I'm so
Speaker 1: happy my confidence was betrayed, because this is such a
Speaker 1: powerful moment. And what I love seeing about it is
Speaker 1: that as she admits this, Chase is like, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? And he lists all of the accomplishments
Speaker 1: that everyone on the outside sees, and she gets to
Speaker 1: say without saying it, that's performance. I'm expected to be
Speaker 1: perfect in my house and it doesn't matter. Nobody cares
Speaker 1: about me. Nobody calls me, nobody supports me, nobody asks
Speaker 1: me if I'm okay. So I show up and I
Speaker 1: do my best and it doesn't matter. And it's such
Speaker 1: a beautiful representation of, you know, the old adage like
Speaker 1: money doesn't buy happiness, success doesn't buy happiness. You never
Speaker 1: know what's really going on with someone, so be kind
Speaker 1: and and to have this girl explain that to everyone else,
Speaker 1: what makes her look like a six story is just
Speaker 1: like weight on her shoulders and it and she feels small. Oh.
Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved learning that having to give
Speaker 1: myself permission to say that. As this episode aired and
Speaker 1: the mail started coming in, and it still comes in,
Speaker 1: and people send that photo over and over and over again,
Speaker 1: and they say, this is how I feel. That's such
Speaker 1: a universal truth, is so iconic, it's like generationally iconic.
Speaker 1: It's one of those photos that anywhere you are, if
Speaker 1: you see that, you know exactly what that is and
Speaker 1: what that moment is and what that represents. Was really
Speaker 1: exciting to see that come to life because I don't much.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I did watch this episode,
Speaker 1: but it's been fifteen years. I liked Brooks level of embarrassment. Um,
Speaker 1: do you know when you've been confronted with some of
Speaker 1: your own bullsh and you have to make the choice
Speaker 1: of like denying it or admitting it or turning it
Speaker 1: into a tool, like, actually, don't be mad at me.
Speaker 1: You should really feel sorry for me because the reason
Speaker 1: I lied is this, you know, book just kind of
Speaker 1: sits in this puddle of embarrassment in a way where
Speaker 1: it's like, you know what I did up and it
Speaker 1: and you want to know what's worse because I've stup
Speaker 1: some more and here's some more stuff that maybe you
Speaker 1: didn't know about me, and why don't we just get
Speaker 1: it all? Like, like to sit in your own embarrassment
Speaker 1: is a sign of emotional maturity that it took me
Speaker 1: a minute to like figure out what exactly I was
Speaker 1: watching because when she's sitting in the classroom and she's
Speaker 1: talking about her parents and all this stuff, I was like,
Speaker 1: what is this? You know, is Brooke trying to I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I couldn't really put my finger on it. But that's
Speaker 1: what it is. It's embarrassment. It's like I'm just going
Speaker 1: to say all the things because if you're already out
Speaker 1: the door. I don't have to worry about you dumping
Speaker 1: me again because you've pretty much don't me earlier today.
Speaker 1: But we are still stuck together for the next five minutes,
Speaker 1: so let's just let's just let it out. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: being embarrassed is like the worst, especially at that age.
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, to have someone like see through all
Speaker 1: your hard work. I worked so hard at this veneer.
Speaker 1: Um and this boy is in town for five minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: any tracks it. And I think there's something really powerful too.
Speaker 1: You know, for parentified children who grow up being trained
Speaker 1: to be perfectionists, it's very easy to to bolster your image,
Speaker 1: to tell a little white lie that feels like it's
Speaker 1: not important, but to your point. When somebody goes will
Speaker 1: but you lied to me and you realize how that
Speaker 1: makes someone feel, you can see her wheels turning of Oh,
Speaker 1: I've been pretending to be perfect for so long that
Speaker 1: I haven't paid attention to what it's cost me, and
Speaker 1: it's just cost me you well, very similarly to Lucas
Speaker 1: and Glenda, it's like there's a in a deeper way
Speaker 1: obviously for Brooke and Chase, but not much. It's only
Speaker 1: been a date. It's like, well, I don't know you
Speaker 1: that well, so I might as well. You know what,
Speaker 1: cool we're here. I'm just gonna I'm gonna lay it
Speaker 1: all out. I'm gonna practice honesty. Yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 1: It's good for the soul. I saw that in um
Speaker 1: Bevin and Rachel too. There was something so honest. First
Speaker 1: of all, what a great performance Bevin gave at the
Speaker 1: end that scene that lead up just getting to that
Speaker 1: place where she was just patient, just sitting there waiting,
Speaker 1: letting Rachel's spin and act out and do all her craziness,
Speaker 1: and then finally standing up at the end and mean
Speaker 1: like all right, it's my turn to talk now, so good,
Speaker 1: pivoting right back into pleasantness. It's like, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you exactly what I think and then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get back to business because I am an adult,
Speaker 1: I'm a professional. I'm gonna, you know again, emotional maturity.
Speaker 1: I can tell you what I think and not throw
Speaker 1: a temper tantrum about it. And now we're moving on.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. Isn't that funny that Bevin, who
Speaker 1: is so sort of seems like wild and fun and
Speaker 1: kind of did see and cute and whatever and like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's gonna be just fine. But that she's got she
Speaker 1: actually has a solid head on her shoulders, and she's
Speaker 1: like got the over over. I am bird's eye view
Speaker 1: of things that we used to think Rachel had, but
Speaker 1: where she can sort of look over all of it
Speaker 1: and go all right, this will be over soon. I'll
Speaker 1: be somewhere else. I'll just let if you need to
Speaker 1: be crazy, I'll I'm happy to sit in the bimbo
Speaker 1: slot for a little while and let you be. It's
Speaker 1: actually a super alpha move to just sit back and
Speaker 1: let the other people spin because they need to and
Speaker 1: not have to step in all the time. Well, but
Speaker 1: don't you find that is kind of exactly what our
Speaker 1: relationships from our youth are. Like you pick your role
Speaker 1: and then it doesn't matter how many decades go by,
Speaker 1: you fall right back into that role. And so if
Speaker 1: this little group of chicks needs Bevin, you know, to
Speaker 1: play the bimbo like you said, okay, I can do that.
Speaker 1: If you need me to play a different part one day,
Speaker 1: I can. But it's not actually threatening her identity, Like
Speaker 1: she knows who she is, so stepping into a role
Speaker 1: for someone else to make it easier for someone else
Speaker 1: to figure out who they are. That's really cool to
Speaker 1: be able to just go okay, if that's what you need,
Speaker 1: go ahead, I know who I am, so I can float. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It requires such a supreme amount of confidence, and it's cool.
Speaker 1: With all these people in this episode, we're we're getting
Speaker 1: to peek behind the curtain. Some are, you know, the
Speaker 1: initial peaks, and some are these deeper dives into people
Speaker 1: we think we know really well, and now we're learning
Speaker 1: about a whole another level. And so amazing with her storyline,
Speaker 1: we think we know exactly who feminin and then she's like,
Speaker 1: oh no, there's so much going on in here, but
Speaker 1: you guys all seem really stressed. So I make and
Speaker 1: like are you okay? And you just go oh, Like
Speaker 1: she's she's laughing at everybody else. I didn't even Nevin
Speaker 1: is the one person who has parents on our show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably goes home to a mom and a dad and
Speaker 1: like maybe an older brother or something does do By
Speaker 1: the way, he just told the Skills has a family.
Speaker 1: He's a he's fine, he's all right. All the kids
Speaker 1: that have parents are fine, they're doing great, God, and
Speaker 1: they're and they're dating each other. By the way, it's
Speaker 1: like the healthy kids find each other and they're like,
Speaker 1: we don't want to mess with this other train wreck
Speaker 1: over here. Yeah, we just stay together. Um. Speaking of skills,
Speaker 1: like you two magic magic magic. You had fun and
Speaker 1: it was like you ate up the impression scene, ate
Speaker 1: it up. Oh my god, doing scarface with your crutches
Speaker 1: so funny. We had a blast. Did they give you
Speaker 1: a list of people to impersonate or you just like
Speaker 1: mad up? I think they asked me, well, the al
Speaker 1: Pacino thing was there, but then they were like, do
Speaker 1: you have other impressions? Like do as many as you
Speaker 1: can think of? So I did, because I don't know.
Speaker 1: I did Katie Holmes, and then I think I did
Speaker 1: a Drew Barrymore that didn't get in, which is so
Speaker 1: crazy because like, I am actually really in love with
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore and I love doing impressions of her because anyway,
Speaker 1: but it didn't get in. And then I don't know
Speaker 1: what the other one was. Oh yeah, Mary, Kate Nashley.
Speaker 1: But Chad did such a great job with the impressions too.
Speaker 1: He threw himself fully into those, so he cracked me
Speaker 1: up and it's so funny when Glenda thinks that scalam
Speaker 1: is Elmo just like undercuts because he does such a
Speaker 1: good impression of it and you just see him to
Speaker 1: late and like, obviously it's written, but god, it's so
Speaker 1: so funny. No, it's good. We got to do stuff
Speaker 1: that we didn't normally get to do. And I think
Speaker 1: that's who were you guys impersonating? I didn't it was
Speaker 1: it was right when Umhor. I hadn't seen Borat, but
Speaker 1: James was obsessed with it, and so James was asked, like,
Speaker 1: who can you impersonate? And he was like, we're doing
Speaker 1: this and I'm just like, yes, yes, And it was
Speaker 1: before we had iPhones, so I couldn't like look it up.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. And I was like, so just tell
Speaker 1: me what to say and I'll say it exactly the
Speaker 1: way you want me to say it. That was That
Speaker 1: was on James. It's also cute watching Peyton and Nathan
Speaker 1: doing the same impression back and forth, because you it's
Speaker 1: like sibling energy. Yeah, it's so silly and nerdy and
Speaker 1: sweet and and it's like it's almost a full circle.
Speaker 1: When we talk about how Lucas and Glenda and Brooke
Speaker 1: and Chase are able to get really vulnerable with each
Speaker 1: other because they don't know each other that well. Yet
Speaker 1: there's an inverse that happens with Peyton and Nathan where
Speaker 1: it's like, you know each other so well, you've seen
Speaker 1: each other through so many things that you become the
Speaker 1: only person besides Haley that he tells about his mom.
Speaker 1: You've settled into this almost sibling like energy, which can
Speaker 1: happen with like, you know, the first person you ever
Speaker 1: fall in love with when you're young. Years later you're
Speaker 1: like we're bros. Like that's that dork, Like oh my god,
Speaker 1: and they say the same thing about you, and you
Speaker 1: guys personify that energy, you know, even when he's trying
Speaker 1: to be like we were good and you're like, we
Speaker 1: were the worst. Look at my hand, it's broken, Like
Speaker 1: it's all so great trying to figure out that bit too.
Speaker 1: But it comes full circle because this idea that that
Speaker 1: Nathan is a martyr. He starts off this little experiment
Speaker 1: by being like, hey, so I carved your initials into
Speaker 1: these weight plates and like we were good, right, And
Speaker 1: it's like he's playing a part. He's like he's like,
Speaker 1: we gotta do this thing together, and I do care
Speaker 1: about you, Peyton, Like I know you've been through a
Speaker 1: lot lately, so I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: this flowery thing. And we've watched Nathan do that all season,
Speaker 1: like I can't commit to a school because my wife's
Speaker 1: not here, and I'm gonna try really hard to be
Speaker 1: the good guy with Rachel and my parents are nightmares.
Speaker 1: But he's been trying to say all these flowery things
Speaker 1: because it makes the people he loves feel good, right,
Speaker 1: And he tries to do it with Peyton in this
Speaker 1: episode and she laughs in his face and it's like
Speaker 1: cut the ship, like ah no, and and and I
Speaker 1: think that's what the whole just is. It's like, I know,
Speaker 1: you're trying to be captain of the team for every
Speaker 1: situation in your life. You want to be team captain
Speaker 1: for your wife, for your parents, for your sibling, for
Speaker 1: your friends, such a good way to put it, for everybody.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be my team captain, man, I
Speaker 1: know you're a cup I have the broken knuckle to
Speaker 1: prove it, you know. And I think we also in
Speaker 1: our lives feel a lot of pressure to be grand
Speaker 1: or super present or just like be a lot for everyone. Um,
Speaker 1: and so I appreciate the patents in my life that
Speaker 1: are like, hey, I know you're a nightmare, like stop
Speaker 1: you don't put it down, put it down. And so
Speaker 1: I liked the patent. Got tasked with that message of
Speaker 1: like hmm, yeah, like you exist, you matter, you need
Speaker 1: to take up space. Yeah, you should have picked the
Speaker 1: college you wanted to go to. Nathan like like, have
Speaker 1: a moment, let it be yours. You just her to
Speaker 1: take care of yourself. And that's a nice message. And
Speaker 1: it's so cool to see again when we think about
Speaker 1: all of this chemistry we normally don't get to see.
Speaker 1: We see so much chemistry between Haley and Nathan, the
Speaker 1: love story and the romance and the thing we've all,
Speaker 1: you know, loved the whole time. We're seeing. We've seen
Speaker 1: all the chemistry with Peyton and Lucas that they've pretended
Speaker 1: to deny for so long, and now we're getting the payoff,
Speaker 1: seeing a typical chemistry Halian skills Peyton and Nathan, like
Speaker 1: growing out, being confidence for each other, being sweet but
Speaker 1: having no again, no sexual tension under it. It's so
Speaker 1: interesting to watch it. Sure is what do you think Peyton.
Speaker 1: That was the one because Peyton was really servicing Nathan's
Speaker 1: storyline at a lot, like really, you know, pushing him forward.
Speaker 1: But I don't feel like we talked about Peyton enough
Speaker 1: enough really in this episode or a lot. You know.
Speaker 1: I guess we've we've been focused so much on her
Speaker 1: as the person that has to cry in every episode.
Speaker 1: I loved her ostrich mentality in this It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you want me to talk about my feelings, Like, here's
Speaker 1: what's not going to happen. It's like, I don't do
Speaker 1: what I've been doing. But also, um, I think Peyton
Speaker 1: knew that if she got into her own it would
Speaker 1: end up being like not a pissing match between her
Speaker 1: and Nathan, but there's a level of competition she knows
Speaker 1: exists between the two of them. That's why their relationship
Speaker 1: was volatile. Um like, oh, your family sucks, well, my
Speaker 1: family sucks more. And uh, I like that she acknowledged
Speaker 1: what he was dealing with with his mom, and then,
Speaker 1: rather than let that conversation spiral as it very well
Speaker 1: could have, she just changed the subject to whistling, Like
Speaker 1: how I alleviate this? You know, we all have to
Speaker 1: get through the day, sometimes it's not worth going down
Speaker 1: that dark path, like sometimes we just have to keep
Speaker 1: it light. Um. Yeah. I like that Payton finally got
Speaker 1: to do that because historically she's the one that's like,
Speaker 1: oh there's something to cry about, let's go dig in.
Speaker 1: I also like that because they've really been she's really
Speaker 1: been holding space for him to share. She's given him
Speaker 1: that beautiful advice don't be haunted, like Dan, don't be haunted.
Speaker 1: Messed me up. That hit me so hard and I
Speaker 1: and I feel like, in the face of what he
Speaker 1: shares about his mom, I like seeing her be a
Speaker 1: teenage girl that is like, I am not equipped for this,
Speaker 1: Like I've given you my my deepest advice and and
Speaker 1: now you have so much on your plate. I think
Speaker 1: the best thing I can do for you is make
Speaker 1: you laugh. Like Peyton is not the one that's generous
Speaker 1: when he says I wish that I was relieved to
Speaker 1: hear that my mom might die. Payton just lost both moms,
Speaker 1: Like the girl with two dead moms is not the
Speaker 1: one you tell like wish my mom was dead. And
Speaker 1: so rather than give him like a speech about it,
Speaker 1: the gift of the Painton gives is like, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna just put this away. That's right,
Speaker 1: she's she's flipping the pancake. She's just gonna turn it
Speaker 1: right over. Yeah. Again, emotional maturity work, racious of her,
Speaker 1: very gracious. Can I mean, how many times in your
Speaker 1: life if you had to do that when someone says
Speaker 1: something to you that's just so insensitive and so you
Speaker 1: just looked them right in the face and you're like,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about something else, because I just
Speaker 1: I don't know it in me, especially in our industry
Speaker 1: where we know it's like eighteen hours a day on set,
Speaker 1: you and me, huh, okay, well I could pick a fight,
Speaker 1: or I could make a joke, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: make a joke right now. You know what if you
Speaker 1: feel it though, because I've been on the other end
Speaker 1: of that too, where I've said stupid things and then
Speaker 1: you see that the look wash over someone's face and
Speaker 1: then you see them switch the conversation and be really
Speaker 1: generous with you and still kind and then just keep
Speaker 1: moving on. But it sticks in your crush. You're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I feel like such an idiot, and
Speaker 1: then you carry you think about it that night and
Speaker 1: the next day and overthinking it's almost better to just
Speaker 1: be be nice and move on because it'll just keep
Speaker 1: haunting that person later. It's cruel. Um. Had you gotten
Speaker 1: to work with Antoine much before? No, And I was
Speaker 1: so happy we finally got time together. We've got great
Speaker 1: chemistry together on camera, and we always get along really well.
Speaker 1: He's just easy to act with, easy to talk with.
Speaker 1: Aund he is and when you're acting with him, he
Speaker 1: really listens, He sense to what you're saying and he responds,
Speaker 1: and usually his response is some version of the line,
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's not, and that's what it really does.
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the idea that your scenes together
Speaker 1: this episode informed past and future because we can totally
Speaker 1: visualize elementary school skills and Haley like in the same
Speaker 1: class with Lucas like pound around Bodorco's. But we're also
Speaker 1: getting the foreshadowing of him being a huge influence in
Speaker 1: Jamie's life. Yeah, both things are accomplished in these scenes
Speaker 1: that you guys have. That's right, and it's so nice
Speaker 1: to get some of the depth for skills too. I
Speaker 1: love when you get exposition about a character that doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like exposition. Yeah, none of this episode did, which
Speaker 1: is kind of a miracle, and there was so much
Speaker 1: backstory and none of it felt like and then my
Speaker 1: parents said to me, you know, and and it was
Speaker 1: so cool to learn about his fears and his family
Speaker 1: and his dreams and and his his real worry that
Speaker 1: if he didn't get a scholarship. That was kind of it.
Speaker 1: That was wrap. That scene made me immediately burst into tears.
Speaker 1: Me too. When you read that letter, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: there he goes. It was beautiful and the misdirect was
Speaker 1: so good and like him, I'm like literally tearing up
Speaker 1: again theater about oh my god, him telling you how
Speaker 1: messed up it is. Yeah, and be like that's dark,
Speaker 1: Like it was so sweet, but knowing how much was
Speaker 1: writing on that for him, Yeah, the way of that,
Speaker 1: how that would have felt to to really accept, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's just not in the cards for me the dream
Speaker 1: that I wanted. And Lucas has had a dream too,
Speaker 1: by the way, the basketball, and you know the idea
Speaker 1: of having to give up one dream and here's the
Speaker 1: second one and if this doesn't work out, it's going
Speaker 1: to be really hard to find a third. Dreams are
Speaker 1: such a big deal when you're in high school. They
Speaker 1: are they are at any point in life, but it
Speaker 1: seems like they get harder to reach for the older
Speaker 1: you get. And um, I liked what this teacher was
Speaker 1: saying about. You know, you get a chance to reinvent
Speaker 1: yourself only so many times in life. You're about to
Speaker 1: go do it right now, think about who you are,
Speaker 1: what your dreams are, what you want to be. I
Speaker 1: also really liked the reality check of some of you
Speaker 1: will feel free when you leave here, and for some
Speaker 1: of you will be very hard. You know, that's that's
Speaker 1: really nice And to your point, he'll like this idea
Speaker 1: that we're all supposed to just kind of play our
Speaker 1: role and how when you're around people you've grown up with,
Speaker 1: it can be really easy to fall back into those roles.
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about this a couple of
Speaker 1: episodes ago about friend breakups. Sometimes when your role changes,
Speaker 1: people really don't like it. They don't want you to grow,
Speaker 1: they don't want you to be different. And then you
Speaker 1: figure out, you know, is this a moment of growing pains?
Speaker 1: Like am I going to go and create new relationships
Speaker 1: with people that are gonna allow me to be this bigger, better,
Speaker 1: version of myself and it's it's it's all represented in
Speaker 1: this episode without having to specifically say it, and that
Speaker 1: is my favorite kind of story. Yeah, I like the freedom.
Speaker 1: You know, so many times when we talk about reinventing ourselves,
Speaker 1: it's about being a louder, more outgoing version of ourselves,
Speaker 1: and for me, it's been the exact opposite. Like I
Speaker 1: was a performative young person, and the friendships that I've
Speaker 1: cultivated as an adult have been ones where I'm allowed
Speaker 1: to be not the decision maker and like the passive
Speaker 1: one and the quiet the follower. Like I get to
Speaker 1: be the follower and I feel very taken care of
Speaker 1: in those relationships because it's filling a need that you know,
Speaker 1: was a void for so long. Um. And so this
Speaker 1: idea that some of our characters are also doing that,
Speaker 1: It's like certain characters are going out and being bolder,
Speaker 1: but then other characters, like Lucas. Lucas is letting Glenda
Speaker 1: be like the leader in this conversation, be the sharer,
Speaker 1: be the one that like sets the tone about sharing
Speaker 1: and things like that. Like I like that he kind
Speaker 1: of falls into a more passive position. Um. I like
Speaker 1: the patent falls into a more passive position of just
Speaker 1: like I'm going to center you here, let you be center. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not always about getting out and getting loud and
Speaker 1: bold and things like that. Sometimes blossoming means like turning inward,
Speaker 1: and so I like the both sides of that are
Speaker 1: represented here. M hm. You know what when you talk
Speaker 1: about that, how we're centering each other's experiences in new ways.
Speaker 1: I also really like that this is one of the
Speaker 1: first times I feel like we've seen Haley grapple with
Speaker 1: the weight of what it means to be a pregnant
Speaker 1: teenager to say, like, I'm excited to meet my son,
Speaker 1: and what's going to happen to me, what's going to
Speaker 1: happen to my dreams? You know you you say I
Speaker 1: wrote it down, you say, I still want to leave
Speaker 1: my mark on this world. And and it's so nice
Speaker 1: to see her really hold the reality, not just the fantasy,
Speaker 1: to say I'm feeling all of these things at the
Speaker 1: same time, and I'm scared. It's a beautiful vulnerability. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I loved it. Also the sort of the normalization of it,
Speaker 1: that it's just this is just real life, Like sometimes
Speaker 1: girls get pregnant in high school, and then they got
Speaker 1: to deal with how to if they want to keep
Speaker 1: their baby, if they you know, how they're going to
Speaker 1: handle this? What what are you gonna do? And not
Speaker 1: having everybody around her get a problem. It's just normal,
Speaker 1: Like everybody's like, okay, hey, let's pregnant. Okay, and she
Speaker 1: moves on and everybody supports her and it's all good.
Speaker 1: And I love that And I loved seeing her have
Speaker 1: that kind of system around her with the friends that
Speaker 1: she's chosen. So now she can really just settle into Okay,
Speaker 1: what does this mean for me? Now? It's not a
Speaker 1: massive torture about oh my god, I'm a pregnant teenage girl.
Speaker 1: It's okay, I'm a pregnant teenage girl. What happens next?
Speaker 1: What's the next chapter gonna what is my life going
Speaker 1: to be? Yeah? What do I And And there's there's
Speaker 1: a fear, but there was an excitement there too that
Speaker 1: it's something that is um it's not when I say normalized,
Speaker 1: it is out of the norm for most of the population.
Speaker 1: But in terms of like her just not feeling alone,
Speaker 1: that's special. To feel alone special. Yeah. Well, and by
Speaker 1: the way, regardless of what age, women become mothers. That's
Speaker 1: the key, right, is you either have a community that
Speaker 1: supports you and you're having an incredible experience because ps,
Speaker 1: we've got enough friends who have done it, you two included.
Speaker 1: It's hard. So you either have a support system and
Speaker 1: you have people who hold you through the herd and
Speaker 1: who enable the happy to multiply, or you feel alone
Speaker 1: and it is terrifying. Yes, and it's it's you're right.
Speaker 1: It's really lovely to see that the people in her life,
Speaker 1: knowing she's made her decision, are like, how can we
Speaker 1: support you? What joy? Did you feel that way when
Speaker 1: you were pregnant in real life? I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: like there's kind of this thing in storytelling in our country.
Speaker 1: I can't speak to any other countries where there's this
Speaker 1: drumbeat of like, if you become pregnant, no matter the age,
Speaker 1: if you become pregnant, you have to start over or
Speaker 1: the trajectory you were on has to pause and if
Speaker 1: you can get back on track, you know, it's there's
Speaker 1: some ketchup work to do. Like I've just so I
Speaker 1: was scared both of my pregnancies the way that Haley
Speaker 1: is scared, where it's like, yeah, I'm super pumped up
Speaker 1: having a baby. Also, there's like things that come with that,
Speaker 1: you know, Um, hold on, can we talk about the stomach?
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the baby? I can't decide if
Speaker 1: I think that it's our honorable or our dishonorable mention,
Speaker 1: Like okay, our friends at home. In this gorgeous sequence
Speaker 1: of scenes with Joy and Antoine, Haley and Skills are
Speaker 1: up on the roof. They're having this moment and she's
Speaker 1: laying down. The blocking is so good. The blocking is
Speaker 1: so good and casual and and you like, you take
Speaker 1: a little stretch, and someone in the edit bay didn't
Speaker 1: zoom in on the screen, which you can do in
Speaker 1: the edit. People like they can go, oh something, there's
Speaker 1: a boom in the corner of the shot. Let's zoom
Speaker 1: in to cut it out. And Joy lifts her arms
Speaker 1: over her head and there's the pregnancy belly pad just
Speaker 1: out front and sad all it's glory and not only
Speaker 1: the like part that goes down around your hips, but
Speaker 1: the center padding with the stitching around it, like you
Speaker 1: see the whole thing down to the stitch lines. It
Speaker 1: was a man. You know it was a man because
Speaker 1: he's like, no, she's wearing a tanktown. That's a tanktown.
Speaker 1: It's like that's for sure, and you're like, that's definitely
Speaker 1: not what that is that awkwards like not white, not
Speaker 1: flesh colored, pale yellow banks or underwear. But except for
Speaker 1: the padding, it was just so clearly. Yeah, I'm really
Speaker 1: surprised nobody caught that, Like nobody just punched in on
Speaker 1: the shot. It's because you're blocking was so good looking.
Speaker 1: At if you have is that you your physicality is
Speaker 1: not performative, like you know, just how to take up
Speaker 1: space in a scene in a really natural way. And
Speaker 1: so of course you laid down on that big like
Speaker 1: concrete block or whatever the hell you were on, just
Speaker 1: kind of laid out and you were doing like cat stretches,
Speaker 1: which is what pregnant women too. And they're like stretching
Speaker 1: is too good. Like we have another take where we
Speaker 1: can't see the baby pad, but we don't have the
Speaker 1: stretching in that one, so stick to the wrapped it
Speaker 1: out whatever. Okay, honorable mentioned to my baby belly pad.
Speaker 1: Then baby belly. Well, we have some listener questions, guys.
Speaker 1: That went by so fast. That episode went by so fast.
Speaker 1: I want to like, I want to watch this one again.
Speaker 1: All right, me too good? All right. Our listener question
Speaker 1: from Brianna. I noticed conversations going on in the background
Speaker 1: with main cast members. Are you all really talking or
Speaker 1: just moving your mouth? How does it work as being
Speaker 1: a background extra, especially when it's a main cast member.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting question. It depends on the day. I mean,
Speaker 1: sometimes you've been there so long and you have nothing
Speaker 1: to talk about, so you just say watermelon, watermelon, watermelon,
Speaker 1: over and over again, and it looks like you're talking.
Speaker 1: And then sometimes you're having real conversations with people and
Speaker 1: you just mouth it. You have it quietly so they
Speaker 1: can't because you can't make noise. But that I think
Speaker 1: is part of why when it's us, especially, you get
Speaker 1: great background acting because you're just mouthing to each other
Speaker 1: and sometimes that makes you laugh, but you have to
Speaker 1: laugh silently, and then it makes the other person laugh
Speaker 1: because you know that you can't make noise. And if
Speaker 1: if you've got twenty background actors who all think they're whispering,
Speaker 1: they're very loud on the mic, like the microphones can
Speaker 1: hear everything. So especially when it's us in the background,
Speaker 1: we're really serious about not making noise because we do
Speaker 1: not want to do another take because we're being irresponsible
Speaker 1: in the background of somebody else's shot. But I think
Speaker 1: I think that can actually make for the best background
Speaker 1: acting because you're just like, what the are you saying?
Speaker 1: What is that word? Yeah, I'm gonna promise you. I
Speaker 1: am always talking when I am like extra, if I'm
Speaker 1: in the background of your scene, I am talking, And
Speaker 1: I delight in it because that's like the one time
Speaker 1: where people's focuses elsewhere, they're like focused on the people
Speaker 1: who are actually doing the scene work, and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do now. Now we're gonna tell secrets. Yes,
Speaker 1: what I love being background and scenes like that, and
Speaker 1: like I might have more of a sense memory about
Speaker 1: doing that stuff than about doing the actual scenes, just
Speaker 1: sitting in the background being hey, oh wait, we need
Speaker 1: to give an honorable mention to Billy, your brother who's
Speaker 1: in the bathroom. Funny, I forgot about that. That was
Speaker 1: about the time that like Billy had a crush on her,
Speaker 1: and I think that they threw him that bone just
Speaker 1: so they could be in the same scene together. Like
Speaker 1: there was a point where I definitely wanted Bevan to
Speaker 1: date my brother because I was just like, oh, this
Speaker 1: would be so cool, Christmas would be so fun. Related
Speaker 1: it didn't work out. It didn't work out. Um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: Billy had a crush on her for a while there,
Speaker 1: and I think that they just thought they were being
Speaker 1: real cute throwing him in there at the urinal with her.
Speaker 1: They gave him a shot. We've got one more question
Speaker 1: from Liz. She says, if you could play a male
Speaker 1: character from the show, who would it be? And why?
Speaker 1: Dan Always it's just dance the guy. You know, he's
Speaker 1: got the media storyline. It's so fun. Um. My first
Speaker 1: instinct was Nathan, Yeah, I want to play Lucas like
Speaker 1: I do because because a lot of reasons, he got
Speaker 1: paid the most and and a lot money. Uh no,
Speaker 1: but also I think that Lucas had some really interesting
Speaker 1: things to do and and yeah, I yeah, and I
Speaker 1: just want to brood. That's it, Like I can only
Speaker 1: relate to Emo characters. Yeah, I was gonna say, would
Speaker 1: you would you want to play him even more Emo? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 1: oh yeah. Not only would he be like we're an eyeliner,
Speaker 1: but he'd be We're in like the used T shirts.
Speaker 1: T shirts and you know, like sad sad bands. He'd
Speaker 1: like love Paramore, you know, Oh my gosh, what a
Speaker 1: singer she is, though have voice. We're spinning, let's do it.
Speaker 1: What do I have this week? Oh my god? Who
Speaker 1: is the most likely to move in with you? I mean,
Speaker 1: you did have people move in with you? I always
Speaker 1: have people move in with me. I just want to
Speaker 1: live on a commune. I want to live with all
Speaker 1: my best friends. Bevin lived with you. Who else lived
Speaker 1: with you? Bevan lived with me, Um Daniello was with
Speaker 1: me like most weekends. Uh Lee was with Bevan and
Speaker 1: I in l A a lot. Yeah, I just I
Speaker 1: love I love having people around. Jenny, my best friend,
Speaker 1: moved in with me Um when we were still doing
Speaker 1: the show. The whole reason that Jensen and Danielle set
Speaker 1: me up with Jeffrey is to get me off their couch.
Speaker 1: Like I had posted up in their l A house
Speaker 1: and Jensen was like, I only get to see my
Speaker 1: girlfriend on the weekends. You can't be here, Go away away.
Speaker 1: And I also I did the same thing to Elizabeth
Speaker 1: on wah Uh. I have that little sister energy where
Speaker 1: I'm like could come over over. I you were very
Speaker 1: similar in that way. I feel like I have the
Speaker 1: big sister energy where everyone moves in with me. But
Speaker 1: that's my dream come true. Like last weekend, I woke
Speaker 1: up on a Sunday morning. I had gone to a
Speaker 1: friend's birthday the night before. I had made a plan
Speaker 1: to get bagels with my friends, and they apparently had
Speaker 1: gotten up very early and gone and gotten through the
Speaker 1: line because like a there's a line at at our
Speaker 1: favorite bagel store, the lines can be like two hours long,
Speaker 1: and and they had gotten through the line so fast
Speaker 1: for some weird reason that they were like, well, she
Speaker 1: hasn't texted yet. We'll just go over and everybody is
Speaker 1: a key to my house. So I woke up. People. Oh,
Speaker 1: I woke up to three friends sitting in the guest
Speaker 1: room with coffees and bagels. And ten minutes after I
Speaker 1: woke up, four more people walked in the door, and
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the best day of my life.
Speaker 1: This is the best day. Like all my people are here,
Speaker 1: were in pajamas. This is all I want. That's all
Speaker 1: I want. I love who? Okay, so who from the
Speaker 1: cast moved in with you? Yeah? Bevan and I lived together,
Speaker 1: which character is the most likely to move in with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, Brooke also moves in with everyone. That's true.
Speaker 1: She moves in with Lucas, she moves in with Rachel,
Speaker 1: shes in with Haley. She lived with Peyton for a
Speaker 1: hot second. That's true. So Hillary in real life, Brooke
Speaker 1: and fake life. I'll just anybody who'll tell day, I'll
Speaker 1: show up like like a sad little paper. Well, guys,
Speaker 1: that was a nice palate cleanser. I really appreciate this

Speaker 1: of nowhere. We want to see a high school production
