Speaker 4 (00:27):
Look at this just just like just like Ryan, Ryan Seacrest,
Madonna or Beyonce. He has he goes by one name
on Zoom and it is COLLETTI.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
You all have one day. What's up your beautiful faces?
How are you? Cutie? Bye? Thank you guys. How are you, buddy,
I'm too well, Thank you well, buddy.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's so good to have you. I know we've been
trying to make this happen for ages, but I'm so
thrilled to have you on. I will say personally because
I don't this is a question I have for you
that we'll circle back to. But I'm because I'm curious
how much of the show you remember because my experience,
I remember so little of the show, and watching you
in it has been a delight. You're so fun and
(01:15):
funny and likable on the show, and such a necessary
ingredient in the stew that is one tree hill, and
that I had no idea of. I think, you know,
I had. I had a clue because we got to
do an occasional trick scene together. But now that I'm
actually watching it as a viewer, I'm like, oh, geez, Louise,
(01:37):
and I'm like watching my buddy and I'm watching my
buddy do great, which is just the best feeling. So, yeah,
you're fantastic in the show.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Man. Oh you are way too kind, way too kind.
It was it was a steep hill to climb with
all you guys. I mean, watching the show and seeing
you guys all on it, I was just admiring your guys' work.
So I appreciate the kind words, but you know, we
had to quickly catch up. Yeah, I feel like drop
it into the show in season four. Thankfully Sophia was
there to guide me along the way and help lift
(02:07):
me up, and and you know, to be able to
still be standing there in season nine and be around
it was a delight and something that I am very
proud of and have always cherished. You always wanted to
continue to work on the show and do a little
bit more and hope to do more, and hope to
get out from behind the bar eventually once we were
the bartender there and in those last couple of seasons
(02:28):
we get to have all the fun. Although it was
kind of like careful what you wish were because it
was it was like from out from behind the bar
and right into a bed. I feel like all these
scenes with Chase and Alex are just in the bed,
rolled around. I don't know if I've seen any really
anything else. Thankfully, you get a little bit of a
breath of fresh air from that with hanging out with Chuck.
But it's it's funny. I feel like watching the first
(02:49):
couple episodes of season nine, it's at a lot of
action in the bed.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I thought you were going to take it even further
and say, you went from cool bar to crow bar,
because isn't that what we get teased in the first episode.
Isn't it a crowbar that you do your dirty work with?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
It? Is it is? It was like I think it
was a tire iron. Very yeah, very violent, very violent
tool there. But hey, he deserved it, right, That's what
I'm That's what I'm going with.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
So, how much of the show do you remember?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Oh man, there's a lot that bleeds together. I did
find myself skipping around in season eight and consulting some
info online exactly where we were at at the end
of season eight going into season nine, what happened in
Chase's life there, So you know what it's it's been
(03:41):
so long now, there's there's a lot that I don't remember.
To sit here, I'm not gonna say a lot of
you guys and think that like I can recite every
episode and tell you exactly what happened and chases are
through all the seasons. I would not be able to
do that. I would fail miserably. But it is a
joy when you know, you go check it out and
see the different seasons where he was at, to see
(04:02):
the journey really and you know, I always feel so
fortunate I was able to hang around the amount of
seasons that I did. And yeah, so I was saying earlier,
just play a little bit more and get a little
bit more chew on towards those later seasons and then
really have some fun arcs in seasons eight and nine.
There So very very proud of that, especially considering where
we started, Sophia. I mean think about back in season
(04:24):
four when I jumped in. I was like, oh my gosh,
I was so green. I was twenty years old, just
getting started, just hoping that you guys would would accept
me on your set. But you guys did with open arms,
and I'm always great of course.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Oh it was so fun.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
And I think, you know, we were just talking about
this because we just watched the first episode of season
nine last week, and you are so fun to watch.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Oh, that's very kind.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
And I don't know if it's the sort of like
senioritis that hits you know, you know, you're almost to
the finish lines.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
You get really and you start reflecting.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
And I was thinking about it, you know, watching you
and Jana and talking to Rob about just how fricking
enjoyable you guys are. And I was thinking about season
four and the fact that you came in so eager
to learn and hang and you were such a great friend,
(05:25):
such a great addition to the greater friend group immediately,
and I don't know, it's like, it's so cool to
watch you across these five years of the show, the
way that you grew as an actor, the way that
you could, Like I can see your technical proficiency, you know,
(05:46):
knowing how to work with the camera crew and all
the stuff that on all of any of our first
seasons on a TV show we had no idea how
to do, and like, I don't know, I feel I
almost feel parental about all of us, myself included watching
us at season nine, I'm like, looking our kiddos, they're
so great, and I don't know, it's really cool.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yeah, I mean we do so many seasons and so
many episodes, but I had, you know, the best opportunity
to learn. You can only learn so much sitting in
acting classes in LA where the coaches are just trying
to keep you around for as long as possible, so
they will teach you anything that they think that that
you'll just absorb. But to really be able to seek
your teeth into stuff and figure out who you are
(06:27):
as a performer, you got to be on set and
you gotta follow your face there and learn things and
also learn from people that are booking like all you guys,
some very talented folks and working with you in that season,
and that you know, getting a chance to see Rob's
work as well and live with Rob and see him,
whether we're doing auditions together behind the scenes there or
(06:48):
just seeing him work when he came on the show.
I mean, talk about a breath of fresh air and
just an incredible light in the room. I mean, Rob,
everything that you brought to the show, and the fact
that it's interesting. You know, you've got a lot there's
a lot of heavy stuff, and there's drama of course
in this show, but just who you are, you know
of off camera, and how funny you are in such delight.
So I had so much fun being able to get
(07:08):
the best of both worlds at you guys. There is
you know, on the professional side and on the personal side.
We really had a lot of fun on our little
one Tree Hill Island out there in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach.
So I'm very very grateful for that, and I definitely
cherish all those memories.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It was so great.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Wait, you just dropped a little nugget that I want
to expand on, because this is a question we got
from a lot of the fans knowing you were coming
in today. They all want to understand more about the
you know, transition between filming reality and then coming descripted.
But there's also so many people that want to know
(07:43):
if you always wanted to act even before you did
Laguna Beach.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
So take us back to how this all shaped up
before you came.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
To join us. Well, you have to go back. There
was in middle school. I was doing a little bit
of theater, doing some and I enjoyed it, and I
was honestly too insecured to pursue it. I was I
was nervous about how my friends would judge me. It
was supposed to be about sports, you know, athletics, and
you know, telling my my parents that I would, you know,
(08:15):
like to go get some head shots taken and maybe
go up to LA and see if I can audition
was was just not not going to happen. So that
was that was a personal secret. But always doing I
wanted to be an entertainment I was, and I thought
maybe I land on the sports side. I thought maybe
sports broadcasting something, you know. I grew up watching the
sports centers and being like, I'd love to be an
anchor and where they had a little fun with some
creativity in the way that they distributed highlights. It wasn't
(08:36):
just like you know, monotone. They they're very creative in it, So,
you know, Laguna was that kind of opportunity to dip
into the entertainment world. And you know what I loved
about it, even looking back and having watched the show
is the way that they shot it. They shot it
like a drama. Uh and and unlike a lot of
the scripted shows or unscripted shows you see today where
(08:57):
they have their confessionals and whatnot, they really wanted to
kind of add a little mystery to it and and
keep it long lensed and not have us speak to
camera ever and so and shooting that being in production,
the camaraderie of people coming together to make something, creativity
involved in that, it just really started to suck me.
(09:18):
And then, you know, the further I got with it,
taking acting classes and stuff and getting little gigs here
and there, it really just caught the bug more and more.
And you know, really going onto your set in season four,
there was really like, this is this is kind of
like what I've been dreaming about. This is the kind
of perfect job. I love being out here. It's just
so different from where I grew up. You know, everyone's
(09:39):
focused on the show and we're all coming together to
make this thing, and there's a lot of fun being had,
you know, outside the show as well. We were all
such such kids when we got out there that you know,
we all wanted to hang out and have fun and
you know, so it really was this you know, amazing
journey of being able to kind of see along the
way like all right, I think this is thing that
(10:00):
I'm interested in, and let's continue to take these steps
and let's see how we can handle, you know, taking
that first step onto that set in season four was
it was a big one, and like, all right, how
would I handle you know, how would the work that
I think I know I can do translate? And sure
there was some trial and there, and there's a lot
of growing pains and things that I needed to learn,
(10:20):
but I knew that, like, this is something that I'm
really interested in, So I want to continue to.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
You've done Laguna Beach, right, had you done much between
Laguna Beach and One Tree Hill.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
So I actually worked on a film with Hillary. We
didn't we didn't work in any scenes together, but we did,
you know, meet there on set. It was a little
film called Normal Adolescent Behavior, and I think they wound
up selling it as Havoc Too, which the first Hoboy
Pane Hathaway. I think Sanny, Yeah, yeah, I think whoever
(11:04):
bought it went up selling it under that name. But
it was just a cool, little artsy indie film, had
a great cast, and I had a little role in it,
and that was like, I now, I'll never forget where
I was when I booked that job, because I'd been
you know, after Laguna, and there was a lot of
attension that came from that show. It was very uncomfortable
about it, you know, obviously excited about the opportunities that
it was presenting me within the industry, but knew that like,
(11:28):
all right, this is like this is a silly reality
show about like teenagers, like being idiots. Like it's this
is not something that you know, I'm gonna be super
proud of, you know at the end of the day.
So to be able to do work and find myself
hopefully on a set like your guys, as I knew,
I had to kind of buckle down and study and
and try to you know, be selective about opportunities and
(11:50):
and so I was and said no to any other
reality shows and was like, let's try to get scripted
in it. And this movie was the first one and
we shot it and an incident. I remember Hillary. She
we were in one of the transfer vans and she
was talking about this show that she's working on and
you know what it's like down there in Wilmington, North Carolina.
And I was like, damn, that sounds freaking awesome. And
(12:13):
I first was familiar with the show, which is the
way that she was talking about it. I was like,
it sounds like a great gig. So when the opportunity
first presented itself to audition for the show, I was
super excited, like, this would be a treat job.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's so fun. Did you because you had worked with her?
You got to jog my memory?
Speaker 6 (12:29):
I don't I don't remember the details. Did you ever
watch the show or did you have to try to
catch up on the show once you were going to
audition for it.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Yeah. I had seen a little bit of the show,
but I never sat down to watch a full episode
until I was auditioning for the show. I was actually
working on TRL again, another weird connection that Hillary and I. Yeah,
we didn't do it together, but we both did TRL.
There was an episode where I believe Chad was there.
(12:59):
I did interview him, but we were just there in
the studio together. And then that night I went home
to my hotel and I just flipped on the TV
and the first thing that came on was an episode
of One Trio Wow, And so I watched that episode.
I was like, oh man, what a cool show. And
again it's just one of those things they kept kind
of following me around. It was like that would be interesting.
So when I got the audition, I watched what I
(13:21):
could find. You know, back then, of course, you know,
there's you know, unless you went up to the store
and bought some DVDs and you were't gonna be able
to get it onto me.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
So gravy.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
So I would call my friends who I know watched
the show, we were fans of the show, and talk
to them about it. And then I think I got
my hands on some tape from you know, my age
was able to get some episodes for me and I
was watching it. So that's how I kind of got
first introduced the show. And then once I, you know,
I found out that was gonna go on, then it
was like, all right, buy the DVDs and we got
to watch everything. Wow.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
What a trip like the Pixie Dust in the air
of like you and her doing the movie together, you
and Chad being on TRL at the same time, you get,
you know, finding it on TV. It's like, were you
at the time that there was obviously something pulling you
in our direction?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
You know. I'm looking back on it and hearing you
say that, I do feel I believe that, and I
think that it's it's one of those things where the
universe has giving you the signs, and I'm always looking
tonted for those green lights, you know, and will sometimes
it might take a little while to get the actual
green light. There's something that's like cut up this this
rock that's like someone's throwing a little stone at your window,
or something's hitting you in the head. And I've always said, actually,
(14:28):
the thing about even doing Good to Beach was one
of those moments because to my point earlier about doing
some plays in middle school but wouldn't be caught dead
telling anybody that I wanted to do acting. I shouldn't
have ever signed up to do the good at Beach,
like it was going to be social suicide within my
friend group. And in a way, it was.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
The fact that you were like, I don't want two
hundred kids in my high school to judge me and
like the forty friends of mine, and then you're like, instead,
I'm going to do a reality show that is going
to be a worldwide and not.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Like you're right, you know what, what an idiot? But
I also I was convinced when we were shooting that
show that it was going to end up in a
box somewhere. We were not actually going to air on MTV.
There's no way we were going to be interesting. Like
how naive I was. There was no way there's nothing
they were going to find interesting about us. So so yeah,
but you know, to there, but that was that moment
(15:22):
where I was at the end of high school, you're
kind of like, screw it, Like I chose a college
where I knew no one else for my school was
going to You're ready to really broaden your horizons. And yeah,
it was an e fit moment for me, like let's
let's do this, and and it was felt like it
was something that was calling me because I did want
to work in entertainment, and I also I talked about
(15:42):
maybe sports broadcasting, but you know, watching Carson Daily TRL
also something that interests me a lot growing up watching
that show. So so yeah, so it's you know, that
pulled and then you know again when the audition came.
It's one of those moments where you know when you
get that audition and as soon as it hits and
you read a little bit about it, you're like, I
really really want to get this one. It feels like
(16:05):
this is a great fit if everything can align, like
I'm on board one. Hopefully that energy is shared on
the other end. But you know, we get a lot
of auditions and different things, you know, come across our desks,
but there are only a few where you get really
really excited. And as soon as that popped up in
my email, I was like, this has to be it.
And by the way, that first audition did not I
(16:27):
did not book it, but I was told right after
like this this roll is it right for you? But
there might be something soon after. So I was like, oh, shoot,
that's exciting. We did not book it, but we might
get on at some other points.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
So wow, man, how did you feel about the Clean
teen storyline?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
I still hold a little piece of the Clean Teens
with me today.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Oh my god, Oh my gosh. It's hard to let
go all these years later of you just listening Steven
has been wearing a wonderful black button up shirt that
he just unbuttoned like Clark Kent.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
To reveal a clean teen shirt a joke. Go to
YouTube to check it out. That I gotta tell you
we didn't know he was. You made it like thirty
minutes to do that. Good job.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
It's, you know, every Thursday, it's my clean teen day.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
There on Thursday's week, Clean team dude. A funny side story.
I don't know if I've ever told you this, but
before either of us ever did One Tree Hill, I
remember pulling up to an audition for an indie and
as I was looking for a parking space, seeing you
out front like reading lines for it and recognizing you,
(17:40):
and having that moment of like, what's he doing here,
Like he's already had his turn? Is even look at
him taking it seriously reaching the reality show. It was
just so clearly like like like fear and jealousy and security.
But I remember remember just being like, oh, man, like, oh,
he's probably gonna get it, and then like cut to
we are on the same show a couple of years later.
But I'll never forget like just seeing you like tucked
(18:02):
away by a bush, reading your lines and going, damn it,
you've already had your turn. Let someone else go.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Man, thanks for saying hi.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I know I was just too insecure back then. So
when you and so hold on, So you did not
audition for the role of Chase. No, And I don't know, gosh,
I don't remember the role. And I don't even I
don't know how long after you auditioned and didn't quite
get it did it take for them they Did they
call you and have you auditioned for Chase? Or do
they just call you and go, this is the other
(18:31):
thing we got for you.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
They called me and had the auditioned for Chase, and
you know it was oh, man, I don't And maybe
it was something early in season four, because I don't
remember it being that long. It wasn't like a full
like year and a half or so it was. It
was maybe they already knew, maybe they knew that Chase
was coming down the pipeline and they're like, oh, he
(18:54):
would be better for this. I don't remember exactly how
that played out, And I really wish I could tell
you what that original character was that I went out for,
but that's but I remember it being not too far
out so I would have to say it was within
the same season, and I know I popped in in
season twelve, so maybe it was something in the earlier episodes.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Fans in the comment section light it up. Let us
know who you think it was the auditioned for, because
soph and a John right now, I can't think no idea.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Okay, things we do remember, because clearly we have no
idea who you auditioned for first. But looking back on it,
a bunch of people wanted to know what storyline of
Chase is was your favorite.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
I really liked the storyline with Chuck and Chase. I
thought that that was a cool, cool run for the
two of them, and Chase taking on that role for
him and then offering another perspective outside of those kind
of relationships, and just being in the bar, being being
an older brother to him and kind of, you know,
I felt like Chases, like you send at the bar,
(20:01):
he's given advice to folks. People are coming in and
maybe I'll offer his two cents here and there, but
it's actually kind of get out from behind the bar
and be able to help, you know, mentor this kid
in a way, and and and just you know, be
there for him. Yeah, I had. I had a lot
of fun with it, and I really enjoyed working with
(20:23):
Michael May. It was at first this almost like a test.
It was like, all right, he's, you know, very fun outset,
wants to you know, throw the ball around once to
play around. And I'm at that point where I'm like,
all right, I got to come in focused, you know,
uh nothing, no distractions, just the task and let's just
try to get the good scene down and go about
our day. And he's like, hey, man, like, can we
(20:44):
toss the ball around? Like we tag should be hind
and go seek run around the house. And I'm like,
you're awesome. But I'm like, hey man, like, I'm trying
to like stay focused for our seat. So it taught
me something too. It was also kind of like a
playful I learned a lot from him. You know. It's
like to still have of that you know, playful enthusiasm
on set because I would I took it so seriously
(21:05):
because I really did not want to screw up, and
you know, I just I would be very sometimes very
intense on set, not like in a way that I was,
you know, yelling at anybody all that, but I just
kind of voice isolated in my corner and really just
trying to stay locked in it. It's like, hey, you,
first of all, you're like a sea storyline here, Like
let's calm down. You know you're not You're not carrying
(21:27):
the show the way that's Sofa and Rob bars, So like,
you just got to have some fun with it. And he,
you know, he allowed me to loosen up a little bit,
and so it was cool. We kind of taught each
other stuff on set, and I just thought it was
it was really cool. The relationship between Chase and Chuck.
Chuck Skolnick.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
There are two listener questions that blew my mind because
both of them had spoilers for me, one about you
in real life and one about Chase. Let's start. I
want to start with the Chase one. Okay, it is, uh,
who do you think Chase was best paired with Alex
Mia or gasp Brook?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Oh my good? Because you didn't know about high school?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Because I've never seen seasons one through psych Wait wait
wait wait wait.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Wait wait wait wait.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Before Steven answers, Steven, maybe the funniest thing that's happened
to us on this podcast.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Because you know, we thought season eight was going to
be it.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
So as we think the whole show is going to
wrap up, there's an episode with all these flashbacks from
earlier seasons and the whole time were Rob's.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Like, what what happened?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
I thought, you know, he's losing for shit because he
never saw any of it and I didn't. It didn't
even occur to me until this moment that you did
not know that.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Brooke was Chase's first one treat.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yep, that was I was today years old when as
the kids say, when I just discovered that, that blew my mind.
So you guys like a proper item was going.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Oh it was serious.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Oh yeah, we were met clean.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Teens, even though Brooke was you know, she wasn't.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Exactly Brook decided to be born again Virgin.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Nice rebranding love that, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Just quick update the shirt that I'm wearing. Well, we'll
display one more time. This is a great podcasting, uh
Clean teams. And then on the back, I mean, I'll
give you the co I'll give you the I'll give.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
You The people at home are probably like.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You Virgin four, can you can you live? Oh gosh that's.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yep, yep, yep. So that's where we met. That's where
that's where Chase and uh and Brook met. And yeah,
Brooke was a Brook was a bit naughty. Was she
corrupting Chase?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah a little.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
But by the way, hey, so this really goes deep
and the fans who have watched the behind the scenes
content will know. But Rob, there was a night near
the end of season four. You know, the kids are
maybe it was the end episode because it was the
graduation party or something.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
But Chase and Brooke are in the back.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Of a car and Steven's supposed to pull his shirt
off and I'm supposed to pull my shirt off, and
it's like a gag about a bra that I'm wearing.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
And Stephen folks his shirt up him one day that
is wearing the same bra.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
And when I tell you, every single person who could
see us camera ops sound. Everybody lost it and it
made the like Blooper real that year.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
It was so funny.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yes, that's what I was thinking of. Where on the
share under This is a little bit of a callback.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
To that, the nice callback for us. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Now, I'm gonna go with the Chases first. There, back
to your guys' question about you know who you know who,
Chase was I mean, was it was who I wish
he ended up with her?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
What was the exact The exact question was who do
you think Chase was best paired with?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Oh? Yes, yeah, well, I mean, I mean that's a
complicated question, I know. And first of all, I want
to take a moment to say that I get a
lot of questions about the Chase or or would you
prefer Chase to be with Alex or Mia? And I've
kind of thrown an answer out there, but I didn't
(25:29):
really truly and like and Alex would or Jane would
tell me. She was like, I hear that you've like
kind of thrown out me his name a little bit.
That's kind of like kind of bumps me out. And
I was like, you know what, I'm so sorry. I
didn't really even think about that. I was like, I
kind of just gave a reason of like, well, you know,
she's a musician, so you know, they could kind of
sit on a porch, you know, later in life, and
(25:50):
she would be playing music and that kind of sounds like,
you know, that sounds really nice.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Meanwhile, the other girl that you didn't choose was also
a musician who could have By the way, yeah, She.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Also turns into Yeah, she becomes a musician as well.
Chase loses both girls to tours with this guy who's
big time Jesse.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
But I was giving that answer, and so was the
answer that you that you had to lean towards Alex.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Well, no, I was. I was leaning towards me based
off of that.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Hence Jenna's disappointment.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Okay, not fair, yes, not fair to Janet. I think
there is a lot of great things that happened between
Chase and Alex. I think it did end very abruptly.
No spoilers here, but our spoilers just a little bit
because we see what you'll see in the next episode.
But long story short, can you see I'm like back
(26:40):
battling here. Clearly, I'm like, all right, I've screwed this
up before.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
So I want to be the office. It's okay if
you upset a few people here, Stephen.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I want to be careful about how I answered this,
so we're all traumatized by the comment sections Clearlys, I honestly,
besides the kind of like half answer, have baked answer
I'd get before about you know, Chasing and Mia sitting
on a porch and her you know, playing music. I
really think that both of them were great for Chase.
(27:08):
I see great things about him both. You know, as
far as Brooke goes, that was in high school. That
was a long time ago. Uh so you know exactly,
so everyone gets you know, you grow up and and
you're you're wiser, more mature, and and it's a different,
different human, if you will. So it's I would say,
you narrow down to Chase's arcs there with with Mia
(27:29):
and Alex, and I think both are worthy candidates. Yeah,
I don't have not one doesn't stick out. Sorry, I'm sorry. No.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
By the way, when I was saying like there's things
I forgot, I had zero recollection. I thought the whole
time it was chasing Mia whole time. So all of
a sudden, when you're when Chase and Alex start becoming
a thing, I was like, I was saying this last season,
we're watching the show. I'm like, this is I don't
remember this, and I'm sure it's going to be very
short lived. But this is a great little thing happened
(28:00):
here and cut to now. It's been going on for
so long. I don't know how my brain had just
forgotten it. But it's a really fun relationship. Yeah, it's
great to watch.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
And watching some of it. Yeah, I was texting and saying, hey,
I'm watching some of this stuff. You're really really great
in the show, and give her a lot of credit.
I had a lot of fun shooting those scenes with her. Yeah,
she brings great energy to set and she's a great actress.
So it was it was a lot of fun working
with her. I was gonna rob I knew you'd appreciate
(28:33):
the story, so I want to share back to the
scene where chasing Brooker in the back of the car,
and I had to I was wearing this bras a
little gag to try to, you know, try to call
the at least more probably attension for me, I don't
think so if I had any attention. But it was
like I was like their big first scene, I think,
kind of getting hot and heavy. It was like, I
want to try to like make keep it relaxed, so
we'll do a little bit of a gag here. But
(28:55):
as we were getting ready to roll a so this
fog rolled in set. We're shooting outside. The car was
like parked in like a four somewhere, so we had
to we had a hold shooting for like forty five
minutes to an hour, and I'm sitting there walking around
in a bra and trying to kind of hold it
from sof and like you we're kind of catching up
(29:15):
and talking and didn't want her to see, you know anything,
So I'm kind of just acting weird. But yeah, I
had to walk around set for what I thought was
gonna be about ten minutes and then pull the thing off.
We do the scene, but I walked around for a
good like hour and a half two hours in a
bra on set. So there's a little behind the scenes
on that story.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
You've walked a mile in the lady's shoes.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Now, this is one of the things I love about
you. You commit to a bit. Yeah there, you saw the value,
you knew it was a good bit, and you just
hung in there. Okay, we got to wrap this up
in a moment. But here's the other question that again,
I was like, wait a second, what Samantha asked what
Traders tea? Can you speak? Are you on the current
season of Traders or something? Hello?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Oh what can I say?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Listen? Hey, I got two kids under the age of four.
I'm in it. Okay, I have no idea. What's happening.
Is Taylor Swift still cool? I'm so out of touch guys,
So Steve and I apologize. Please are you on this show? Obviously?
You are right?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yes, yes, Season four of Traders? Just like, what could
I say? And I I'm not kidding, Like, I don't
know what I can say. It's it's we're very tight
lipped over here. It's coming out, I believe next year,
early part of next year. How do I have dates yet?
But yeah, season four of Traders. I love the show.

super excited for for folks to see it.

into it and see how we would handle So.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Oh my god, yeah, who's we?
Speaker 5 (30:53):

character where we're in his castle. He's hosting us for
this murder mystery. So yeah, he's phenomenal. Yeah, go back

I'm too well, Thank you well, buddy.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's so good to have you. I know we've been
trying to make this happen for ages, but I'm so
thrilled to have you on. I will say personally because
I don't this is a question I have for you
that we'll circle back to. But I'm because I'm curious
how much of the show you remember because my experience,
I remember so little of the show, and watching you
in it has been a delight. You're so fun and
(01:15):
funny and likable on the show, and such a necessary
ingredient in the stew that is one tree hill, and
that I had no idea of. I think, you know,
I had. I had a clue because we got to
do an occasional trick scene together. But now that I'm
actually watching it as a viewer, I'm like, oh, geez, Louise,
(01:37):
and I'm like watching my buddy and I'm watching my
buddy do great, which is just the best feeling. So, yeah,
you're fantastic in the show.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Man. Oh you are way too kind, way too kind.
It was it was a steep hill to climb with
all you guys. I mean, watching the show and seeing
you guys all on it, I was just admiring your guys' work.
So I appreciate the kind words, but you know, we
had to quickly catch up. Yeah, I feel like drop
it into the show in season four. Thankfully Sophia was
there to guide me along the way and help lift
(02:07):
me up, and and you know, to be able to
still be standing there in season nine and be around
it was a delight and something that I am very
proud of and have always cherished. You always wanted to
continue to work on the show and do a little
bit more and hope to do more, and hope to
get out from behind the bar eventually once we were
the bartender there and in those last couple of seasons
(02:28):
we get to have all the fun. Although it was
kind of like careful what you wish were because it
was it was like from out from behind the bar
and right into a bed. I feel like all these
scenes with Chase and Alex are just in the bed,
rolled around. I don't know if I've seen any really
anything else. Thankfully, you get a little bit of a
breath of fresh air from that with hanging out with Chuck.
But it's it's funny. I feel like watching the first
(02:49):
couple episodes of season nine, it's at a lot of
action in the bed.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I thought you were going to take it even further
and say, you went from cool bar to crow bar,
because isn't that what we get teased in the first episode.
Isn't it a crowbar that you do your dirty work with?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
It? Is it is? It was like I think it
was a tire iron. Very yeah, very violent, very violent
tool there. But hey, he deserved it, right, That's what
I'm That's what I'm going with.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
So, how much of the show do you remember?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Oh man, there's a lot that bleeds together. I did
find myself skipping around in season eight and consulting some
info online exactly where we were at at the end
of season eight going into season nine, what happened in
Chase's life there, So you know what it's it's been
(03:41):
so long now, there's there's a lot that I don't remember.
To sit here, I'm not gonna say a lot of
you guys and think that like I can recite every
episode and tell you exactly what happened and chases are
through all the seasons. I would not be able to
do that. I would fail miserably. But it is a
joy when you know, you go check it out and
see the different seasons where he was at, to see
(04:02):
the journey really and you know, I always feel so
fortunate I was able to hang around the amount of
seasons that I did. And yeah, so I was saying earlier,
just play a little bit more and get a little
bit more chew on towards those later seasons and then
really have some fun arcs in seasons eight and nine.
There So very very proud of that, especially considering where
we started, Sophia. I mean think about back in season
(04:24):
four when I jumped in. I was like, oh my gosh,
I was so green. I was twenty years old, just
getting started, just hoping that you guys would would accept
me on your set. But you guys did with open arms,
and I'm always great of course.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Oh it was so fun.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
And I think, you know, we were just talking about
this because we just watched the first episode of season
nine last week, and you are so fun to watch.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Oh, that's very kind.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
And I don't know if it's the sort of like
senioritis that hits you know, you know, you're almost to
the finish lines.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
You get really and you start reflecting.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
And I was thinking about it, you know, watching you
and Jana and talking to Rob about just how fricking
enjoyable you guys are. And I was thinking about season
four and the fact that you came in so eager
to learn and hang and you were such a great friend,
(05:25):
such a great addition to the greater friend group immediately,
and I don't know, it's like, it's so cool to
watch you across these five years of the show, the
way that you grew as an actor, the way that
you could, Like I can see your technical proficiency, you know,
(05:46):
knowing how to work with the camera crew and all
the stuff that on all of any of our first
seasons on a TV show we had no idea how
to do, and like, I don't know, I feel I
almost feel parental about all of us, myself included watching
us at season nine, I'm like, looking our kiddos, they're
so great, and I don't know, it's really cool.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yeah, I mean we do so many seasons and so
many episodes, but I had, you know, the best opportunity
to learn. You can only learn so much sitting in
acting classes in LA where the coaches are just trying
to keep you around for as long as possible, so
they will teach you anything that they think that that
you'll just absorb. But to really be able to seek
your teeth into stuff and figure out who you are
(06:27):
as a performer, you got to be on set and
you gotta follow your face there and learn things and
also learn from people that are booking like all you guys,
some very talented folks and working with you in that season,
and that you know, getting a chance to see Rob's
work as well and live with Rob and see him,
whether we're doing auditions together behind the scenes there or
(06:48):
just seeing him work when he came on the show.
I mean, talk about a breath of fresh air and
just an incredible light in the room. I mean, Rob,
everything that you brought to the show, and the fact
that it's interesting. You know, you've got a lot there's
a lot of heavy stuff, and there's drama of course
in this show, but just who you are, you know
of off camera, and how funny you are in such delight.
So I had so much fun being able to get
(07:08):
the best of both worlds at you guys. There is
you know, on the professional side and on the personal side.
We really had a lot of fun on our little
one Tree Hill Island out there in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach.
So I'm very very grateful for that, and I definitely
cherish all those memories.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It was so great.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Wait, you just dropped a little nugget that I want
to expand on, because this is a question we got
from a lot of the fans knowing you were coming
in today. They all want to understand more about the
you know, transition between filming reality and then coming descripted.
But there's also so many people that want to know
(07:43):
if you always wanted to act even before you did
Laguna Beach.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
So take us back to how this all shaped up
before you came.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
To join us. Well, you have to go back. There
was in middle school. I was doing a little bit
of theater, doing some and I enjoyed it, and I
was honestly too insecured to pursue it. I was I
was nervous about how my friends would judge me. It
was supposed to be about sports, you know, athletics, and
you know, telling my my parents that I would, you know,
(08:15):
like to go get some head shots taken and maybe
go up to LA and see if I can audition
was was just not not going to happen. So that
was that was a personal secret. But always doing I
wanted to be an entertainment I was, and I thought
maybe I land on the sports side. I thought maybe
sports broadcasting something, you know. I grew up watching the
sports centers and being like, I'd love to be an
anchor and where they had a little fun with some
creativity in the way that they distributed highlights. It wasn't
(08:36):
just like you know, monotone. They they're very creative in it, So,
you know, Laguna was that kind of opportunity to dip
into the entertainment world. And you know what I loved
about it, even looking back and having watched the show
is the way that they shot it. They shot it
like a drama. Uh and and unlike a lot of
the scripted shows or unscripted shows you see today where
(08:57):
they have their confessionals and whatnot, they really wanted to
kind of add a little mystery to it and and
keep it long lensed and not have us speak to
camera ever and so and shooting that being in production,
the camaraderie of people coming together to make something, creativity
involved in that, it just really started to suck me.
(09:18):
And then, you know, the further I got with it,
taking acting classes and stuff and getting little gigs here
and there, it really just caught the bug more and more.
And you know, really going onto your set in season four,
there was really like, this is this is kind of
like what I've been dreaming about. This is the kind
of perfect job. I love being out here. It's just
so different from where I grew up. You know, everyone's
(09:39):
focused on the show and we're all coming together to
make this thing, and there's a lot of fun being had,
you know, outside the show as well. We were all
such such kids when we got out there that you know,
we all wanted to hang out and have fun and
you know, so it really was this you know, amazing
journey of being able to kind of see along the
way like all right, I think this is thing that
(10:00):
I'm interested in, and let's continue to take these steps
and let's see how we can handle, you know, taking
that first step onto that set in season four was
it was a big one, and like, all right, how
would I handle you know, how would the work that
I think I know I can do translate? And sure
there was some trial and there, and there's a lot
of growing pains and things that I needed to learn,
(10:20):
but I knew that, like, this is something that I'm
really interested in, So I want to continue to.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
You've done Laguna Beach, right, had you done much between
Laguna Beach and One Tree Hill.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
So I actually worked on a film with Hillary. We
didn't we didn't work in any scenes together, but we did,
you know, meet there on set. It was a little
film called Normal Adolescent Behavior, and I think they wound
up selling it as Havoc Too, which the first Hoboy
Pane Hathaway. I think Sanny, Yeah, yeah, I think whoever
(11:04):
bought it went up selling it under that name. But
it was just a cool, little artsy indie film, had
a great cast, and I had a little role in it,
and that was like, I now, I'll never forget where
I was when I booked that job, because I'd been
you know, after Laguna, and there was a lot of
attension that came from that show. It was very uncomfortable
about it, you know, obviously excited about the opportunities that
it was presenting me within the industry, but knew that like,
(11:28):
all right, this is like this is a silly reality
show about like teenagers, like being idiots. Like it's this
is not something that you know, I'm gonna be super
proud of, you know at the end of the day.
So to be able to do work and find myself
hopefully on a set like your guys, as I knew,
I had to kind of buckle down and study and
and try to you know, be selective about opportunities and
(11:50):
and so I was and said no to any other
reality shows and was like, let's try to get scripted
in it. And this movie was the first one and
we shot it and an incident. I remember Hillary. She
we were in one of the transfer vans and she
was talking about this show that she's working on and
you know what it's like down there in Wilmington, North Carolina.
And I was like, damn, that sounds freaking awesome. And
(12:13):
I first was familiar with the show, which is the
way that she was talking about it. I was like,
it sounds like a great gig. So when the opportunity
first presented itself to audition for the show, I was
super excited, like, this would be a treat job.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's so fun. Did you because you had worked with her?
You got to jog my memory?
Speaker 6 (12:29):
I don't I don't remember the details. Did you ever
watch the show or did you have to try to
catch up on the show once you were going to
audition for it.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Yeah. I had seen a little bit of the show,
but I never sat down to watch a full episode
until I was auditioning for the show. I was actually
working on TRL again, another weird connection that Hillary and I. Yeah,
we didn't do it together, but we both did TRL.
There was an episode where I believe Chad was there.
(12:59):
I did interview him, but we were just there in
the studio together. And then that night I went home
to my hotel and I just flipped on the TV
and the first thing that came on was an episode
of One Trio Wow, And so I watched that episode.
I was like, oh man, what a cool show. And
again it's just one of those things they kept kind
of following me around. It was like that would be interesting.
So when I got the audition, I watched what I
(13:21):
could find. You know, back then, of course, you know,
there's you know, unless you went up to the store
and bought some DVDs and you were't gonna be able
to get it onto me.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
So gravy.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
So I would call my friends who I know watched
the show, we were fans of the show, and talk
to them about it. And then I think I got
my hands on some tape from you know, my age
was able to get some episodes for me and I
was watching it. So that's how I kind of got
first introduced the show. And then once I, you know,
I found out that was gonna go on, then it
was like, all right, buy the DVDs and we got
to watch everything. Wow.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
What a trip like the Pixie Dust in the air
of like you and her doing the movie together, you
and Chad being on TRL at the same time, you get,
you know, finding it on TV. It's like, were you
at the time that there was obviously something pulling you
in our direction?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
You know. I'm looking back on it and hearing you
say that, I do feel I believe that, and I
think that it's it's one of those things where the
universe has giving you the signs, and I'm always looking
tonted for those green lights, you know, and will sometimes
it might take a little while to get the actual
green light. There's something that's like cut up this this
rock that's like someone's throwing a little stone at your window,
or something's hitting you in the head. And I've always said, actually,
(14:28):
the thing about even doing Good to Beach was one
of those moments because to my point earlier about doing
some plays in middle school but wouldn't be caught dead
telling anybody that I wanted to do acting. I shouldn't
have ever signed up to do the good at Beach,
like it was going to be social suicide within my
friend group. And in a way, it was.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
The fact that you were like, I don't want two
hundred kids in my high school to judge me and
like the forty friends of mine, and then you're like, instead,
I'm going to do a reality show that is going
to be a worldwide and not.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Like you're right, you know what, what an idiot? But
I also I was convinced when we were shooting that
show that it was going to end up in a
box somewhere. We were not actually going to air on MTV.
There's no way we were going to be interesting. Like
how naive I was. There was no way there's nothing
they were going to find interesting about us. So so yeah,
but you know, to there, but that was that moment
(15:22):
where I was at the end of high school, you're
kind of like, screw it, Like I chose a college
where I knew no one else for my school was
going to You're ready to really broaden your horizons. And yeah,
it was an e fit moment for me, like let's
let's do this, and and it was felt like it
was something that was calling me because I did want
to work in entertainment, and I also I talked about
(15:42):
maybe sports broadcasting, but you know, watching Carson Daily TRL
also something that interests me a lot growing up watching
that show. So so yeah, so it's you know, that
pulled and then you know again when the audition came.
It's one of those moments where you know when you
get that audition and as soon as it hits and
you read a little bit about it, you're like, I
really really want to get this one. It feels like
(16:05):
this is a great fit if everything can align, like
I'm on board one. Hopefully that energy is shared on
the other end. But you know, we get a lot
of auditions and different things, you know, come across our desks,
but there are only a few where you get really
really excited. And as soon as that popped up in
my email, I was like, this has to be it.
And by the way, that first audition did not I
(16:27):
did not book it, but I was told right after
like this this roll is it right for you? But
there might be something soon after. So I was like, oh, shoot,
that's exciting. We did not book it, but we might
get on at some other points.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
So wow, man, how did you feel about the Clean
teen storyline?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
I still hold a little piece of the Clean Teens
with me today.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Oh my god, Oh my gosh. It's hard to let
go all these years later of you just listening Steven
has been wearing a wonderful black button up shirt that
he just unbuttoned like Clark Kent.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
To reveal a clean teen shirt a joke. Go to
YouTube to check it out. That I gotta tell you
we didn't know he was. You made it like thirty
minutes to do that. Good job.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
It's, you know, every Thursday, it's my clean teen day.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
There on Thursday's week, Clean team dude. A funny side story.
I don't know if I've ever told you this, but
before either of us ever did One Tree Hill, I
remember pulling up to an audition for an indie and
as I was looking for a parking space, seeing you
out front like reading lines for it and recognizing you,
(17:40):
and having that moment of like, what's he doing here,
Like he's already had his turn? Is even look at
him taking it seriously reaching the reality show. It was
just so clearly like like like fear and jealousy and security.
But I remember remember just being like, oh, man, like, oh,
he's probably gonna get it, and then like cut to
we are on the same show a couple of years later.
But I'll never forget like just seeing you like tucked
(18:02):
away by a bush, reading your lines and going, damn it,
you've already had your turn. Let someone else go.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Man, thanks for saying hi.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I know I was just too insecure back then. So
when you and so hold on, So you did not
audition for the role of Chase. No, And I don't know, gosh,
I don't remember the role. And I don't even I
don't know how long after you auditioned and didn't quite
get it did it take for them they Did they
call you and have you auditioned for Chase? Or do
they just call you and go, this is the other
(18:31):
thing we got for you.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
They called me and had the auditioned for Chase, and
you know it was oh, man, I don't And maybe
it was something early in season four, because I don't
remember it being that long. It wasn't like a full
like year and a half or so it was. It
was maybe they already knew, maybe they knew that Chase
was coming down the pipeline and they're like, oh, he
(18:54):
would be better for this. I don't remember exactly how
that played out, And I really wish I could tell
you what that original character was that I went out for,
but that's but I remember it being not too far
out so I would have to say it was within
the same season, and I know I popped in in
season twelve, so maybe it was something in the earlier episodes.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Fans in the comment section light it up. Let us
know who you think it was the auditioned for, because
soph and a John right now, I can't think no idea.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Okay, things we do remember, because clearly we have no
idea who you auditioned for first. But looking back on it,
a bunch of people wanted to know what storyline of
Chase is was your favorite.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
I really liked the storyline with Chuck and Chase. I
thought that that was a cool, cool run for the
two of them, and Chase taking on that role for
him and then offering another perspective outside of those kind
of relationships, and just being in the bar, being being
an older brother to him and kind of, you know,
I felt like Chases, like you send at the bar,
(20:01):
he's given advice to folks. People are coming in and
maybe I'll offer his two cents here and there, but
it's actually kind of get out from behind the bar
and be able to help, you know, mentor this kid
in a way, and and and just you know, be
there for him. Yeah, I had. I had a lot
of fun with it, and I really enjoyed working with
(20:23):
Michael May. It was at first this almost like a test.
It was like, all right, he's, you know, very fun outset,
wants to you know, throw the ball around once to
play around. And I'm at that point where I'm like,
all right, I got to come in focused, you know,
uh nothing, no distractions, just the task and let's just
try to get the good scene down and go about
our day. And he's like, hey, man, like, can we
(20:44):
toss the ball around? Like we tag should be hind
and go seek run around the house. And I'm like,
you're awesome. But I'm like, hey man, like, I'm trying
to like stay focused for our seat. So it taught
me something too. It was also kind of like a
playful I learned a lot from him. You know. It's
like to still have of that you know, playful enthusiasm
on set because I would I took it so seriously
(21:05):
because I really did not want to screw up, and
you know, I just I would be very sometimes very
intense on set, not like in a way that I was,
you know, yelling at anybody all that, but I just
kind of voice isolated in my corner and really just
trying to stay locked in it. It's like, hey, you,
first of all, you're like a sea storyline here, Like
let's calm down. You know you're not You're not carrying
(21:27):
the show the way that's Sofa and Rob bars, So like,
you just got to have some fun with it. And he,
you know, he allowed me to loosen up a little bit,
and so it was cool. We kind of taught each
other stuff on set, and I just thought it was
it was really cool. The relationship between Chase and Chuck.
Chuck Skolnick.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
There are two listener questions that blew my mind because
both of them had spoilers for me, one about you
in real life and one about Chase. Let's start. I
want to start with the Chase one. Okay, it is, uh,
who do you think Chase was best paired with Alex
Mia or gasp Brook?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Oh my good? Because you didn't know about high school?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Because I've never seen seasons one through psych Wait wait
wait wait wait.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Wait wait wait wait.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Before Steven answers, Steven, maybe the funniest thing that's happened
to us on this podcast.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Because you know, we thought season eight was going to
be it.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
So as we think the whole show is going to
wrap up, there's an episode with all these flashbacks from
earlier seasons and the whole time were Rob's.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Like, what what happened?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
I thought, you know, he's losing for shit because he
never saw any of it and I didn't. It didn't
even occur to me until this moment that you did
not know that.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Brooke was Chase's first one treat.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yep, that was I was today years old when as
the kids say, when I just discovered that, that blew my mind.
So you guys like a proper item was going.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Oh it was serious.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Oh yeah, we were met clean.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Teens, even though Brooke was you know, she wasn't.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Exactly Brook decided to be born again Virgin.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Nice rebranding love that, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Just quick update the shirt that I'm wearing. Well, we'll
display one more time. This is a great podcasting, uh
Clean teams. And then on the back, I mean, I'll
give you the co I'll give you the I'll give.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
You The people at home are probably like.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You Virgin four, can you can you live? Oh gosh that's.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yep, yep, yep. So that's where we met. That's where
that's where Chase and uh and Brook met. And yeah,
Brooke was a Brook was a bit naughty. Was she
corrupting Chase?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah a little.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
But by the way, hey, so this really goes deep
and the fans who have watched the behind the scenes
content will know. But Rob, there was a night near
the end of season four. You know, the kids are
maybe it was the end episode because it was the
graduation party or something.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
But Chase and Brooke are in the back.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Of a car and Steven's supposed to pull his shirt
off and I'm supposed to pull my shirt off, and
it's like a gag about a bra that I'm wearing.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
And Stephen folks his shirt up him one day that
is wearing the same bra.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
And when I tell you, every single person who could
see us camera ops sound. Everybody lost it and it
made the like Blooper real that year.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
It was so funny.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yes, that's what I was thinking of. Where on the
share under This is a little bit of a callback.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
To that, the nice callback for us. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Now, I'm gonna go with the Chases first. There, back
to your guys' question about you know who you know who,
Chase was I mean, was it was who I wish
he ended up with her?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
What was the exact The exact question was who do
you think Chase was best paired with?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Oh? Yes, yeah, well, I mean, I mean that's a
complicated question, I know. And first of all, I want
to take a moment to say that I get a
lot of questions about the Chase or or would you
prefer Chase to be with Alex or Mia? And I've
kind of thrown an answer out there, but I didn't
(25:29):
really truly and like and Alex would or Jane would
tell me. She was like, I hear that you've like
kind of thrown out me his name a little bit.
That's kind of like kind of bumps me out. And
I was like, you know what, I'm so sorry. I
didn't really even think about that. I was like, I
kind of just gave a reason of like, well, you know,
she's a musician, so you know, they could kind of
sit on a porch, you know, later in life, and
(25:50):
she would be playing music and that kind of sounds like,
you know, that sounds really nice.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Meanwhile, the other girl that you didn't choose was also
a musician who could have By the way, yeah, She.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Also turns into Yeah, she becomes a musician as well.
Chase loses both girls to tours with this guy who's
big time Jesse.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
But I was giving that answer, and so was the
answer that you that you had to lean towards Alex.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Well, no, I was. I was leaning towards me based
off of that.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Hence Jenna's disappointment.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Okay, not fair, yes, not fair to Janet. I think
there is a lot of great things that happened between
Chase and Alex. I think it did end very abruptly.
No spoilers here, but our spoilers just a little bit
because we see what you'll see in the next episode.
But long story short, can you see I'm like back
(26:40):
battling here. Clearly, I'm like, all right, I've screwed this
up before.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
So I want to be the office. It's okay if
you upset a few people here, Stephen.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I want to be careful about how I answered this,
so we're all traumatized by the comment sections Clearlys, I honestly,
besides the kind of like half answer, have baked answer
I'd get before about you know, Chasing and Mia sitting
on a porch and her you know, playing music. I
really think that both of them were great for Chase.
(27:08):
I see great things about him both. You know, as
far as Brooke goes, that was in high school. That
was a long time ago. Uh so you know exactly,
so everyone gets you know, you grow up and and
you're you're wiser, more mature, and and it's a different,
different human, if you will. So it's I would say,
you narrow down to Chase's arcs there with with Mia
(27:29):
and Alex, and I think both are worthy candidates. Yeah,
I don't have not one doesn't stick out. Sorry, I'm sorry. No.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
By the way, when I was saying like there's things
I forgot, I had zero recollection. I thought the whole
time it was chasing Mia whole time. So all of
a sudden, when you're when Chase and Alex start becoming
a thing, I was like, I was saying this last season,
we're watching the show. I'm like, this is I don't
remember this, and I'm sure it's going to be very
short lived. But this is a great little thing happened
(28:00):
here and cut to now. It's been going on for
so long. I don't know how my brain had just
forgotten it. But it's a really fun relationship. Yeah, it's
great to watch.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
And watching some of it. Yeah, I was texting and saying, hey,
I'm watching some of this stuff. You're really really great
in the show, and give her a lot of credit.
I had a lot of fun shooting those scenes with her. Yeah,
she brings great energy to set and she's a great actress.
So it was it was a lot of fun working
with her. I was gonna rob I knew you'd appreciate
(28:33):
the story, so I want to share back to the
scene where chasing Brooker in the back of the car,
and I had to I was wearing this bras a
little gag to try to, you know, try to call
the at least more probably attension for me, I don't
think so if I had any attention. But it was
like I was like their big first scene, I think,
kind of getting hot and heavy. It was like, I
want to try to like make keep it relaxed, so
we'll do a little bit of a gag here. But
(28:55):
as we were getting ready to roll a so this
fog rolled in set. We're shooting outside. The car was
like parked in like a four somewhere, so we had
to we had a hold shooting for like forty five
minutes to an hour, and I'm sitting there walking around
in a bra and trying to kind of hold it
from sof and like you we're kind of catching up
(29:15):
and talking and didn't want her to see, you know anything,
So I'm kind of just acting weird. But yeah, I
had to walk around set for what I thought was
gonna be about ten minutes and then pull the thing off.
We do the scene, but I walked around for a
good like hour and a half two hours in a
bra on set. So there's a little behind the scenes
on that story.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
You've walked a mile in the lady's shoes.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Now, this is one of the things I love about
you. You commit to a bit. Yeah there, you saw the value,
you knew it was a good bit, and you just
hung in there. Okay, we got to wrap this up
in a moment. But here's the other question that again,
I was like, wait a second, what Samantha asked what
Traders tea? Can you speak? Are you on the current
season of Traders or something? Hello?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Oh what can I say?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Listen? Hey, I got two kids under the age of four.
I'm in it. Okay, I have no idea. What's happening.
Is Taylor Swift still cool? I'm so out of touch guys,
So Steve and I apologize. Please are you on this show? Obviously?
You are right?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yes, yes, Season four of Traders? Just like, what could
I say? And I I'm not kidding, Like, I don't
know what I can say. It's it's we're very tight
lipped over here. It's coming out, I believe next year,
early part of next year. How do I have dates yet?
But yeah, season four of Traders. I love the show.
