and our comic girl sharing for the right teams, Drama Queens,
Girl of Girl Fashion, but your tough girl.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
You could sit with us.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Girl Drama Queens, Drama Queens, Drama, Queens, Drama, Drama, Queens
Drama Queens.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Welcome in to apparently I'm pretending it's not happening the
last episode of Drama Queens. This is this is the
one occasion where I feel like a.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Boo is appropriate and welcome. That was lovely. Wait to
be good sports.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
How are you guys feeling?
Speaker 7 (00:52):
I feel like I was gonna say nervous, but it's
not nerves. It's just I'm melancholic. And I'm also I'm like.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I was so excited to be here with all of you.
Speaker 7 (01:03):
Guys and with you and to celebrate altogether all the
work that we've done and put into this. But it's
also just really sad and I don't want it to end.
But you know, the show's over and it's time.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
But in the.
Speaker 8 (01:17):
Weirdest way, when we get to come to these cool things,
and hang out with you guys, and someone will be like,
I'm on my fifth rewatch now, I'm like, you know what,
I get it. Maybe we should just start over.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
There's more things to say.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
Can you imagine, though, Literally we just keep starting over.
We're like sixty and we're just watching it.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
I think that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Actually it's just us having the same conversation over and
over and people still tuning in to be like, I'm
here for it.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
This is great.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
But I am so glad that that this Wow, this
is so melancholic. I'm I'm so grateful for the way
that we're getting to do it with you all here
at Trick in Wilmington. It's it's like, this is an
event I would prefer to not have to happen, but
(02:13):
if it's going to happen, like this is exactly how
I would want it to go down, Like with no
wall in this building in this town.
Speaker 8 (02:21):
We were talking about this on our way up the
stairs when we were all trying not to cry, and
we were like, well, at least silver lining we're here,
and we looked at each other and joy goes. Could
you imagine having done this over zoom and I said, yeah,
like what hit the red button, leave meeting and it's over.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Yeah, and it would have been a disaster. I think
we all would have just left our computers on for
the day, just like gone it and out of the house,
or just like let's just leave.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
The zoom on so at least we're in each other. Well.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
Also, what happens sometimes is like we hang up on
the zoom and then we immediately all FaceTime each other.
We like get on a group FaceTime to figure some
detail out, and I'm like, we would have just gotten
on FaceTime and cried and drank or something.
Speaker 10 (03:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
Yeah, yeah, I want to try.
Speaker 9 (03:09):
And this is good.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
This is good practice for me because I'm such a
theater kid performer. I'm used to stepping on a stage
and my emotions immediately have to click into whatever the
performance is expected of me. But I really want to
be here with you guys, with you guys and like
feel what I'm feeling. So yeah, yea.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Man, bring your mess, bring all of the colors.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
We welcome them.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Also, there's probably a lot of people in the audience
who are feeling the exact same way.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
One there is like one saving grace to it is
that at least, like we have these events, so while
this specific activity the drama Queens is coming to an end,
it's not like if this was a one time thing
where we didn't do these, it would be brutal because
it would be such a fun time and then we'd
be like and there's it's never happening again. Yeah, at
(03:59):
least there's some and knowing that, like this whole fun
is still going to be able to happen.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
It's just like this, I need to keep seeing you guys,
and you guys. I kind of wish we'd all watched
the finale together, do you know what I mean? Like
if we'd played it on the screen and then sat
up little til I went to and then just immediately
turned around and sat down and started talking about it.
I should have had that idea two months ago. I'm sorry,
it's not.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
By the way, our entire production team back there just went, oh, no,
we're not.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You were not expecting you to cere that up.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
We just in real time realized it would have been
cool if we thought about it two months ago.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
That's a terrible habit of mine.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
By the way, like being in a moment and being like,
you know what would make this so much better if
somebody two months ago had thought of AB or C.
Everybody's like that's great. So now we're all just bummed down.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
You're a producer's nightmare, like, and we're rolling in joys
Like I was just thinking, what if there was rain
in this shot?
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Joy, it would be better if there was rain, but
we don't have time.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Do you remember the Halloween episode in what way?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
When I was directing, well, yes, but in what way?
Speaker 8 (05:08):
And you looked at me and went, but why am
I wearing this? And I was like I can't I
right now, I'm directing from inside of a paper machet orange.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Just help me, and you went, yeah, I gotcha, Okay,
I got ya.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Was I a pregnant cheerleader? What was yea? And I
was like, what's my motivations? Yeah? She's like, Joy, there's
four hundred people on this scene, like figure it.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
Out, because like the joke was supposed to be that
you just stuck like a pillow in your cheer uniform,
except it wasn't a pillow. It was like a nude
pregnancy bump, but it didn't have the belly button, and
you were like it should either be a pillow or
be the bump with the belly button.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
And I was like, I don't have those, give me
a prenzel, you a belly button with a sharpie. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
At least you didn't say maybe it should be raining
in here, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
But to your critic, great, that was a really good
idea because could you imagine if one of the event
options was like a drama queen's slumber party and it
was and it was straight up like five hours and
we just watched the last three episodes together, Oh my.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
God, like high school lock in. Yeah, I loved those.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
I'm not saying we couldn't do that at a later time,
just for fun, like maybe yeah, a reunion late maybe
next year.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
I mean, I will say I sort of think the
whole shared ethos of this entire room is that.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We like rewatching our show. Yeah, we don't have to
do it just once.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Hey and listen.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now that we're doing holiday themed events, hear me out,
there is nothing stopping us from doing like a rewatch
of a Halloween episode.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
That sounds good in costume, Okay, yeah, I do have
the hat.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
I'm halfway into the little foreign right now. I think
I could probably. Yeah, somewhere there's a Batman suit for James.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Again.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
All of the producers in organ as was backstage. We're like,
that's so great. Could you just get through tonight? Thank
you that I worked tirelessly on.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 9 (07:07):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Oh you got well, it's been fun.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No, they gave okay, they gave us cards.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
We have things to do. We do have things we're
supposed to do seven oh two host chat.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We have I don't know in two minutes, got five
minutes until we get to.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Wait.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
I am trying to.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Think of like the very last episode. It was a
good episode. It was well, we got this great question.
Remember when we were doing our Q and A. Somebody
asked how we wanted our characters to end, like if
we could have given them another ending. But you weren't
here for that because that was it. That was Lee
and Twine and Rob and I. You guys, d we
(07:52):
have anything to say about that?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, I didn't know the question until this very moment, So.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
I'm sorry to second. I mean, I do mean to
put you on spots.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I know.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
These guys very sweetly did a Q and a I
couldn't make because I've been working in Canada, And then
I really I was so convinced I was gonna be
able to do it. I even brought my mic to set.
Then those producers were like, man, why do you have
a microphone for the job that you're not here to do?
And I was like, I don't know, I see how
that might not track. Well, I'll put this away.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I just thought I'd get on the zoom or something.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
I love that that's the neurodivergent.
Speaker 8 (08:28):
Yeah, like I could do both, and they're like, literally,
you can't, like right, got it? I think for me
when you say that, like, how would you want your
character to end? I I was so happy with our
last episode. It really did feel kind of like a present.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You know.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
You hear people say in a negative way about TV
sometimes like oh on at the end of every episode
they were wrap it up in a bow, like that's
not real life. But I actually think our show deserved
an episode where we wrapped it up in a bow
and like made it beautiful. I do kind of wish
some of our shark writing in Surprise Season nine hadn't
(09:14):
been like so sharky, like I would have liked to
have not maybe had another run in with Xavier, like
for why, for what? Although the gal who has my
sweater from that scene is here and it's a great sweater.
So there were silver linings. But I feel really good
about where it went. I liked seeing everyone in a
(09:38):
rhythm and happy and doing the things our characters had
done when we were in high school. There's really something
to that, to the the kind of cyclical nature of
a life.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And I thought it was sort of great.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Yeah, that's that's kind of I think what we ended
up saying too, that it just feels like everything ended
in such a way that it was right for everything
that we'd all been through, all that all the characters
had been through, Yeah, to just be able to be
connected and have like these moments of happy endings, because
there is no happy ending in life. I mean you
(10:16):
just moments end and new ones start, and then those
end and new ones start, and some aren't happy and
some are not. But for all of us to have
a moment collectively that is a happy ending of that
season of life felt like there's still space for so
much more that you can imagine is continuing on in
(10:36):
their lives and it felt like it was done really well.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
To me, Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It did feel like more of us see you soon
than a goodbye. And I feel like what it did
very successfully is it was a good episode of television
while also being a great thank you to the fans
in the sense like I feel like everyone because we've
all come to love these characters, and in this case,
was like, now we're going to let you see that.
Like they're gonna get the life that you hope they
(11:02):
were gonna get, you know, like they're gonna they're gonna
have a quote unquote like happy ending, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
And I just felt like that was it was.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Such a service to the fans because so many shows
will be like we want to leave you on a
cliff hanger or a big question mark, and this one
was kind of like, Nah, you're gonna see all of
our people and they're gonna be happy, and they're gonna
work out most of their stuff.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Yeah, and they're gonna songs.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Yeah, all the girls are gonna be wearing really long
extensions to show the passage of time. I also, I
just have to say, Rob, you're such a classy guy.
You're so thoughtful because you're you're you're the inner sanctum dude,
right like you're the ally in the room always. And
even the fact that this sweet man just goes, you know,
(11:43):
a quote unquote happy ending because he doesn't want to
be like all the character's gonna happy ending.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's what she said. You are so yummy and I
love you like he just come on this thought.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
God stop.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You know this feels like the right time to celebrate
a nice moment.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
With a cocktail.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I could help with that.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Okay, yeah, some of you may know, and for those
of you who don't, we have a lovely sponsor a
Cheap Caribbean and has anyone actually taken a tour with them?
Has anyone gone on a cheap Caribbean. I'm gonna hold
this for you, Oh thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I'm gonna hold this for her so she can like
vamp and do the thing.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
I'm just gonna sit back here and contribute nothing.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
You sit there and look pretty, dad, I haven't.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
It looks really fun. I think you should go on
a cheap Caribbean cruise.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Well, also, I do, like you know, Joy is our
resident bartender, and I know it's pumpkin season. But she
was like, I want to go to the Caribbean. That
feels like summer. Let me make a margarita.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
And I was like, my girl, because that's the cocktail
I want.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Yeah, it is never the wrong time for a margarita.
So we're muddling some watermelon. Muddle, muddle, muddle chic.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Is there pressure, like, is there a particular pressure to
muddle or does it depend on the.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You pressure to crush?
Speaker 7 (13:02):
So at the point of crushing, then you cease.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That's crushworthy. I'm sorry I had to rob is a
literal dad, but I got dad jokes.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Okay, you got them.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I got them.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
We didn't get any copy for Cheap Caribbean.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
But if I had to just imagine what they'd want
us to say, it would probably be something like, if
you like being buzzed in your living room, you're gonna
love being buzzed in the Caribbean.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
I like that. Two ounces of tequila.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Three, come on, we're not drive and joy it just kidding.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Make mine a virgin.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Please, yes, okay, okay, but I feel like two ounces
of tequila. I'm just making one drink here. Now you
have to at least triple that. Oh you're gonna make
me do math on stage?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
So far?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Okay, what cl do it?
Speaker 8 (13:53):
So if two ounces of tequila, if we're trying to
make three drinks at six, okay, so you put into
do four more?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You guys, we're so smart.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I know.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
It's the three forths. It's the three forths that I'm okay.
But three forths is the lime juice. So one and
a half.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Right, is doubled and another one?
Speaker 8 (14:17):
No, I have to do it fractionally otherwise I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
So's it's two and a quarter? So do two in
a splash?
Speaker 10 (14:24):
All right?
Speaker 7 (14:25):
So there's one already in there.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
There's there's a there's one, and there's a fourth.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Three fourths?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, three fourth times three is two. It's two point
two five, it's two and a quarter.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Can you tell which one of us studied economics?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
You just under two?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
You know?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
What do to make it?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Lmey yeah, it just you know, none of us will
get scurvy. Let's get a bunch of citrus in there,
the silent killer.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Guys.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
We don't talk about scurvy enough.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
Okay, how much of the.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Is a it's a half an ounce of a gave o. Wait,
let me see.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
Let's see. So you're one and a half.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
So I'm gonna sorry, Hey, do you guys think we
should ask joy to do long division next?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
What can't you got everything?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
New math?
Speaker 9 (15:09):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I don't either.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
My kids aren't old enough to do that yet.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's coming.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I was just I have to tell you.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
I was just in Rwanda and I went to this.
It was a school that I was there for and
I walked into, like, watch this class if the kids
were in third grade, and the teacher Often people who
are visiting will come help out with the class.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
So I go in and I.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Said, and the teacher's like do you want to help out?
Speaker 10 (15:30):
Do you want? Can you?
Speaker 7 (15:30):
And I was like sure, let me help and so
he hands me a red pen and he goes, can
you just go grade some of these papers? And I
was like, oh, you don't.
Speaker 9 (15:37):
You don't want me.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Everyone gets do that.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
And he goes, you know, it's a little language barrier.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
So he understood that I didn't want to do that.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
So he goes, oh, okay, and he reaches over and
grabs the ruler, hands it to me and he goes
the board is right there, and he goes and sits down,
and I have to teach the math class.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
No, that's your literal worst nightmare.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
And I did it.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I mean I don't know how I said it, by
the grace of the Lord.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yes, okay, wow, okay.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Guys, back to muddling. We got drinks to make.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, you have to make more melons. Watermelon.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I thought i'd teach math class well, but I like that.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I like that you told this guy I don't feel
confident grading papers, and he was like, if you don't
feel confident in grading papers, you should definitely be teaching
the entire class.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I don't think he understood. I think he just thought
it was my preference. And I was being a little like,
like like a dramatic like, oh no, that's not I
don't want to grade your That's not good enough for me.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
No, let me teach it.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
You're like, yeah, I've never driven a stick, and he's like,
you seem like you should teach the driving course.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
All right, we have glasses.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Sorry, I'm putting ice in here.
Speaker 4 (16:49):

Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
When my son was one and a half, one night,
it was winter, so it was dark early and it
was getting ready for bedtime. Yeah, and he was standing
out the window looking out and it was dark and.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
I said, uh, hey, it's uh it's time.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
It's pajama time, buddy, And he took a beat, didn't
look back at me, and he just went.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
The darkness is waiting for us.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
And Jenny and I looked at each other like, who what,
Let's pretend like we're not terrified by that.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
What's the chance you have a wet one over there
for joy. That's very poetic and slightly terrifying.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yes, very terrifying, one of those.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
It's very good.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Speaking of toasts. You know how often the writers love
to say speaking of on our show it was a
really nice little bag think.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
They would always cut to another scene speaking speaking of
and then.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
You know, yeah, we have we have another human we'd
like to toast friends. Is it gonna work?
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Hi, guys?
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Oh man, I just I'm always blown away that you
guys show up over and over and over again. It
is an extraordinary community.
Speaker 9 (19:56):
To be a part of.
Speaker 10 (19:58):
And with the end of Drama Queens, I'm having this
deja vous moment because it's reminded me so much of
when I was leaving One Tree Hill, and I made
a video where I just really wanted to express my
gratitude to the fan base and tell them how much
I love Peyton Sawyer and how much I have loved
(20:21):
working on the show and the whole experience. It was
important for me to put that message out into the
world even though I was leaving, and so in this
moment with the podcast ending, I just again really want
to say thank you. You know, I know there are
a lot of reboot podcasts out there in the world, right,
(20:46):
but there was something kind of different about ours because
everyone knew about the trauma that a lot of us
had been through, and this podcast was a reclamation and
it was an opportunity to the bad stuff and really
really celebrate the good stuff. For me personally, it was
(21:08):
an opportunity to see what you guys saw in the show.
I'd had so many of my own personal memories.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Attached to it.
Speaker 10 (21:16):
To see it through your eyes was so cool and
has given me that chapter of my life back. So
thank you. And you know, I had no idea when
I made that first video back in two thousand and
nine that we were going to do so many other
things together. We were going to do other TV shows together.
(21:38):
We were going to do the Christmas movies that we've
done together. That we were going to have this whole
convention life together, meeting up in random hotels all over
the world. What a cool future that I had no
idea was coming. And it's all because you guys showed up.
So thank you for showing up today, thank you for
(22:00):
showing up for the podcast, thank you for showing up
for all the various projects that we get involved in.
You are an extraordinary group of people and I'm so
grateful for you.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
So Sta Hillary, Hell yeah, well said huh.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
That is beautifully said. Wow.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
No, It's like I hate when everyone doesn't get to
come and I love when people are working, But I'm
like work less.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Really is so true?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
That will you guys help us send a video back
to her? Hi Bo, Hi Hillary, We miss you. We
just watched your video.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
We managed not to completely solved, which honestly feels like
a big deal. We really wish you were here, and
a bunch of other people wish you were here too.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
We love you, love you.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Bevan and Danielle aren't here either.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Hold on, okay, okay, okay, beel.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
What Who's dead?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Run it back, run it back from the top.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I'm sorry over okay, Hi Bie, Hi guys, hid we
miss you. Guys.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
It feels really weird to be here without you, and
there's a whole bunch of other people who agree. We
love you, thank you, Okay, it feels fun. I'm sorry
I took my phone out, but I'm also not sorry.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Bummer.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Those people couldn't be here, but we do have the
good fortune of having a few special friends here with us.
Tonight we do the first of which you all might
have heard of. He is one Tree Hill's Residence, Sex Pylon,
the Walking Handsome himself, Senor Austin Nichols.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Out here stand.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Take him to the go ahead, take them on to
the bridge.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Don't take him to the bridge, take him to the bridge.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Here, you take me.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Get out of here. Hi.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Yeah, oh my god, this is so fun.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Do you suddenly feel like we're on a late show?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I mean yes, this is such a late night talk
show vibe.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I have always wanted to hold a pile of cards
like this, and on my inner child is geeking out.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
You have a future in this what's that you have
a future in this? Thank you guys, Austin, I can encourage.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
This is very much.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
It's like when Kramer gets the murv Griffin Show and
is living.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
All of my cards are just like it's facts about
a giraffe, best way to make a peanut butter, that
has nothing to do with the show.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
It's just for me to hold something.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Wait, those are different cards that I have.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Give me those, rude. Wait, Austin, how are you?
Speaker 6 (25:14):
How are you?
Speaker 12 (25:15):
I'm great, I'm great. I had a great day with
all of you. This is such a such a great.
Speaker 9 (25:19):
Day to give them back to.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
I didn't see that before.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Wow, we were just out here talking about how crazy
it is to be thinking about the finale of the show.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Do you what do you remember about it?
Speaker 10 (25:33):
You know?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I never watched season nine?
Speaker 10 (25:36):
What.
Speaker 12 (25:37):
I have not seen it except for the one I directed,
and I don't I don't know why. I don't know
if I'm saving it. I maybe i'll watch it tomorrow,
but I for so, I don't know, like I'm I
guess I'm a softie, and like maybe I was. I
didn't want to watch it yet or wanted to save
I don't know. There was some reason. But I will
(25:58):
watch it someday. I just didn't.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
There is that thing right where if you don't watch it,
something in your brain thinks, oh, there's more maybe.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Like I have that with a lot of shows that
I really love. I will try and avoid the last
season or the last episode. It's a subconscious thing. I
don't intentionally do it. I just happened to get too busy.
I just sort of find myself six months from it.
It's like an easy way of saying goodbye, like I'm
leaving you.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
You can't leave me.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Yeah, there's final help.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Like to this day, I haven't seen the serious finale
of the Office.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
I've never watched the last episode of Breaking Bad The Closer.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
And weirdly enough, like you Joy, it wasn't like a
line in the sand. It was like I got there
just kind of like maybe I'll go make a takoe.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yes, I just avoided it.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
I'm going to try and avoid this discomfort by going
somewhere else.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Yeah, and I never so we had we.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Were talking earlier about the ending of the show and
if we were happy with how our characters were wrapped up,
And how how.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Do you feel about the way do you remember Julian?
Speaker 12 (27:08):
Well, oh yeah, do you be honest, I don't remember everything,
but what I do remember that I loved was a Julian.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
He started as a producer who came to get He
got Lucas's book, the rights to Lucas's book.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
He wanted to make a movie out of Lucas's book.
He was a producer who became a director and then
a director who wanted to make a TV show about
Tree Hill. And to be given that was such a
huge gift because this is I mean, what a responsibility,
(27:40):
you know, in this fictional world, to be the guy
that tells the story about our story. Also, I just
realized you started this show as an actor and then
became a director on it. Yes, so it was a
little meta, very very You may have all had this realization.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
I just real time, right, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
The first was directing.
Speaker 12 (28:02):
The first place I ever got to direct was One
Tree Hill and it was really interesting because I just
I can't remember exactly how it happened. You might have
been doing one and I snuck into a scout van.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Maybe when you were doing your first one.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
I can't remember, but I remember just sneaking into a
van and.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
It sounds sounds hard, go on, sounds naughty, But I
stuck into a van, went on some scouts. I snuck
into a production meeting or a tone meeting, and people,
writers and producers started going, what what are you?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 6 (28:36):
And it was kind of like this real. It's like, oh, okay,
he's interested in that.
Speaker 12 (28:40):
And and I got my first one in season eight,
and it was I just fell in love with I
love the whole thing, and I know.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
You guys do too.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
It's it's it's just very cool to be at the
helm and and talking to the actors and guiding them.
And there's something about it that, you know, being an actor,
you're kind of like paint on some one else's canvas
and you get to be the painter and you get
to Yeah, it's really really cool.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Paul told me once when I was going to start
directing on the show and I was talking with him,
he said he saw all my notes and was a
copious amounts of notes and tabs and all the things,
and he's like joy directing his quality control.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
So what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
He said, it's just trust everybody in their departments to
do their job.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
They know what they're doing.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Your job is to quality control, So if there's something
that's like a little out of place or a little off,
you can, you know, speak to it, but otherwise you
can sort of trust to let things move.
Speaker 9 (29:34):
And I always felt like you.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Were really good at that as a director, that you
had this instinct to you just weren't overbearing, but you
had very specific ideas.
Speaker 9 (29:45):
But it never felt like.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
It never felt like you were trying to fit your
foot in the door, like trying to make it work.
Like you just naturally showed up and kind of flowed.
You could read the room really easily and read the
different emotions, and like you just had that inherently quality.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
You Also, we on our wrap up tour, we really
like to do the compliment stream and it's because our
people deserve it. But you have such an amazing knowledge
of filmography, Like I would say, you are probably one
of the biggest film.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Nerds of our whole crew.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Nerdy, but it's really cool because I remember even then,
you know, we'd be working on something or doing a
storyline and you'd be like, oh, yeah, kind of like
and you'd give all of us these references and we'd
be like what, and we'd all watch these movies that
we never would have known about if it wasn't for you.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And it's a really, to Rob's point kind of meta thing.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
That what you're naturally so good at you developed on
top of on the show as an actor and then
a director. But then it was, to Joy's point, so
who you are in the room that it like became
your character's journey, you know, Like I joke sometimes that
I'm such a pain in the ass about social justice
(31:06):
that Brooke Davis became one because I drove the writer's
nuts and they were like, shut up, we'll just put
it on the show. And you came in and we're
just like, I'm an expert at this, and they were like, wow, Bostin,
you are an expert at this.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
You did a really good job. Proud of your pal.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Thank you, Thank you guys.
Speaker 12 (31:26):
You know, one of my favorite directors is Ron Howard.
And Ron Howard you know, as an actor, and you know,
there's something about just having been in we're the same troop,
and I stand in your shoes all the time and
know what It's like when someone you know gives you
a direction or shouts or maybe does it in a
(31:49):
way that doesn't feel good or doesn't have ideas or
doesn't have ideas, it just maybe it's just yeah, like
there's just a really there's a way to talk to us,
and then there's there's ways that aren't.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
We're show dogs, we scare easily.
Speaker 12 (32:03):
You know, you know, yea, but yeah, I don't know.
There's there's just a we understand each other. And as
I say, we understand each other. Like I'm just a
director now, I'm still an actor, but there's something great
about that understanding.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
We understand, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
I also think there's a really cool thing that happens
when you are being directed by your peers. You're being
directed by people you trust, and especially you know on
a show like this one, which has so many amazing
moments and great storylines and then often puts a bridle
on a shark, and you're like, how am I going
(32:44):
to do this at all? And when you have a
friend and an ally with you, like, there's something when
you can look at your director and go is this
tracking or do I look ridiculous? And the person behind
the camera can go this is tracking really well, make
this little shift here, give me this and it will
(33:04):
read the way I know you want it to. And
it makes you feel freer to perform in a way
because you're less like, well, that guy's just watching the
clock and the angle and doesn't really care what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
And I'm gonna you.
Speaker 12 (33:17):
Trust the person behind the monitor. You'll do anything for them. Yeah, yeah,
but it's trust.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
You're not giving a good performance if you're simultaneously watching
your own back.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
You know you can't.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Most of the fans don't know that the whole Julian
not knowing how to five high five was actually based
on a real life issue of you not knowing how.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
No, it was a joke.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
This makes me so happy.
Speaker 12 (33:46):
It was a joke, and I think I just I said,
you know the nerd high five? And we were talking
and everybody was around, and I said, you know the
nerd the nerd high five. It's like it's from really low,
like down from the hip and you just go straight up,
and I just it's just a funny.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
It was just this funny thing.
Speaker 12 (34:03):
And then like a month later, I get a script
and I start reading and I go, oh.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
God, just the audacity that, like, we took objectively the
coolest guy on our show, and we decided to saddle
him with the storyline that he didn't know how to
do one of the most widely popular social norms, like
this guy should be inventing cool shit, not like not
(34:28):
knowing how to do the very first iteration of it.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
I like you, that's very nice. But also the.
Speaker 12 (34:33):
Things that when we when we make fools of ourselves,
it can sometimes like I was afraid to do that.
I thought it was in the moment in those days,
I thought it was dumb, really, and then now everybody
like talks about it and they like want to high
five on the sidewalk.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Well, buddy, I'm like, I've told you your vulnerability, We've
all said it your vulnerability, and you're willing to play it.
Sincerely became your superpower because what that did is it
made Julian infinitely more likable and lovable.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Hopefully.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Yeah, I think had you played that trying to make
it cool, it would have been wildly unsuccessful. But like
your instincts were spot on in making it just like endearing.
Speaker 11 (35:12):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Well you said you had never directed before one tree Hill,
and our next guest had never touched a musical instrument
or sang a song in her life until an episode
of One Tree Hill Welcome our next guest, Jana Kramer.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Running way.
Speaker 8 (36:05):
That's how emotional we are. We're like, no, but I
saw you backstage. But touch me, hold me, hug me.
Speaker 9 (36:09):
I'm sad.
Speaker 10 (36:10):
Hi.
Speaker 11 (36:11):
Hi guys, guy, guys.
Speaker 10 (36:13):
Bye.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
This is fun.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
It really is like late night.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
You had never played music or sang or anything before
One Tree Hill Wait.
Speaker 13 (36:22):
I was six and the Romeo Peach Pageant in Romeo, Michigan,
and I sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in a rock version,
and that was the last time.
Speaker 11 (36:32):
Pretty much.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
To be fair, I actually just said that being stupid
because I figured for sure you were so talented that
I assumed you had That was me technically.
Speaker 13 (36:41):
The true story is the first time that I ever
really sang in front of anybody that wasn't my best
friend in Los Angeles was during the Writer's strike. I
was on Friday Night Lights and the writer's strike happened
and CMT was doing a show Can you do it?
And I'm like, well, this sounds fun, I'm not doing anything.
The show was shut down. I don't know when it's
going back. And so me and my girlfriend flew to
(37:03):
Nashville and stood in line and auditioned, and that was
the first time I sang in front of anybody besides her.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (37:10):
What Yeah?
Speaker 13 (37:11):
And then I made it and then she didn't, and
then I was like, but I can't do it without her,
and so then I quit the show, and then the
whole thing, and then then the writer strick ended and
so I was like, well that that. I just always
remembered that moment, like maybe I do have something and
I wanted to kind of try.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Yes, I'm so glad you did. I remember hearing you
sing on set, like wandering around listening to singers. You
said it like Mindy Smith is what tho was the
first Mindy Smith. She's amazing.
Speaker 13 (37:33):
Oh my goodness, raw, that rag Doll song was one
of my favorite songs ever.
Speaker 9 (37:37):
I'd actually don't know that it's so good.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (37:40):
I had her Christmas album I think at the time.
But anyway, it's also when I'm next to drawing.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (37:47):
So it's so crazy to think about that though, because
it's like you just happened to you. What's happening to me?
In this moment. We were so in the swing of
music on the show and with you and Tyler and
Kate and the thing, and then you were just doing
it and you were I mean, we were living together.
Speaker 11 (38:05):
We were going to Nashville.
Speaker 13 (38:06):
Every time I ever really wrote a song was when
I was living with you guys, and I had someone
flip fly in from Nashville and we wrote a song
called you Can't Save Me and Save the Rose.
Speaker 11 (38:16):
I mean all this, yeah, but I'm like, wait, you.
Speaker 12 (38:19):
Were literally suddenly writing songs on the couch the songwriter.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
And we were like, what's going on? And then and
then we heard her singing like oh my god, you
were so good.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
Whoa And then she was.
Speaker 8 (38:29):
Going to Nashville and we were like, well, duh, what
do you mean that wasn't in the works when you
got here. That's a detail that fell through the cracks
in such a crazy way.
Speaker 10 (38:42):
I did.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
Yeah, I mean it was just something I knew.
Speaker 13 (38:44):
The creator loved music and finding new music, so that's
why I you know, I was writing some songs and
then said, hey, what do you guys think? And then
some of them were like yeah, and then they turned
it into a singer. So I mean hello, and I'm
so grateful because it was a really fun ride. I
don't do it as much anymore, but whenever I did
play a show, I always thanked my One Tree Hillers
(39:06):
because they were the loudest at any show ever. Yes,
I mean, you guys are truly the only reason I
ever got a record deal.
Speaker 11 (39:15):
There's no way, and truth be told.
Speaker 13 (39:17):
Before the show came out, I went to labels and
I got turned down by every single label. And then
when the show aired and the song came out, that
is when the labels then said, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
They should like you guys made a big mistake.
Speaker 13 (39:34):
Huge Again, I got dropped five years later.
Speaker 11 (39:39):
It's fun.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
Happens to the best of us.
Speaker 7 (39:44):
Also, I have a question because we go back and
forth a lot about Alex on this podcast.
Speaker 9 (39:48):
I heard there's a lot.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
No, no, don't say it like that.
Speaker 10 (39:52):
I know.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Did we praise you from the mountaintops?
Speaker 7 (39:56):
Oh yeah, it's all I mean, it's it's good news
about jam and what talent she is.
Speaker 9 (40:01):
But I have some bones to pick. Well, well, no,
there's a lot. I mean there's a lot of there's
a lot.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Of whiplash with her character and when I mean character.
I mean, like the body of who she is as
a person, not like the caricature of what she's been
written as, but like I would just you know, I
think all of us, whether we're playing a villain or
a hero, we defend our character to the death. You
have to believe in what you're doing and create reasons
(40:29):
for your character to make sense in the world. Tell me,
can you just tell us a little bit about like Alex,
who who she is to you?
Speaker 9 (40:36):
Is she a hero? Is she a villain?
Speaker 7 (40:37):
Is she just a misunderstood woman?
Speaker 5 (40:40):
Like?
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Tell how do you see her?
Speaker 10 (40:42):
So?
Speaker 13 (40:43):
When I because I did an audition for her first,
you didn't I auditioned to be your sister, I'll try.
Speaker 9 (40:49):
Yeah that's right, okay.
Speaker 13 (40:50):
And in the room they said you should read for Alex.
And when I was reading the breakdown of it, I
mean truly, I was just like I I didn't like
her at all, really at all, okay, And I just
was like, I've never been drunk. She's like she's me
Like I'm like, I don't, I don't know how to
play this like lah kind of character. So truly I
was shocked that I got hired. And then and then no,
(41:12):
I really was. I was just like, this is And
then I was really self conscious because I'm not the
like even my best friend. I was auditioning for something
and it said like really bubbly, and I'm like, I
have a hard time being like blah, and she is that.
Speaker 11 (41:24):
And I didn't.
Speaker 13 (41:25):
So I didn't really love her at first. So then
I remember talking to the creator saying like, I'm struggling
with this, and he goes, find something you like about her?
Speaker 9 (41:34):
And so what was that?
Speaker 13 (41:36):
She She had stuff she didn't know how to deal with.
It was all stuff that so I put pieces of
my own things into her, and then I started to
mold her into that, and then then I was like, no,
she's fun and she's just doesn't know how to express her.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
One question that we've kind of all been looking at
is regarding the ending, talking about like did we get
the end?
Speaker 6 (41:57):
Is this the ending we would have liked for our character?
Speaker 4 (42:00):
And I feel like we all had a much different
experience than you because we got a happy wrap up,
a timely.
Speaker 6 (42:05):
Wrap up, walk us through years because that was whip last.
Speaker 13 (42:09):
We were like, I'm sorry what so I was told
by my label I couldn't finish the show, because why
do you have to go I had to go on
radio tour?
Speaker 5 (42:22):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (42:22):
That is the correct of the night.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
The way, by the way, not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (42:29):
Keeping you on the show would have been great for them.
Speaker 13 (42:31):
To then like country the country market there if you
didn't devote to just being a country artist, like they
weren't signing people like they were.
Speaker 11 (42:39):
They won't they don't believe you. I had to be like, no,
I'm not.
Speaker 13 (42:41):
This is what I want to do, and I quit
this and I'm going to show you that I'm doing
this to just like prove that I was what they
wanted me to be. But meanwhile, the other people on
the Labor label, the men, were able to do like,
but he's doing that, he's doing that, why can't I.
So I was so disappointed because obviously, I mean, no, granted,
it all works out, everything's fine. But my biggest regret
(43:03):
in that it was I didn't get to have a
wrap up. It's just just it was just gone, and
then it was just that was a bummer because truly,
acting is I love. That's my number one besides being
a mom. But just to not have that wrap up
with the character still feels a little empty to me, what.
Speaker 9 (43:22):
Would you how would you like to have seen her?
Have you thought about that? Like what kind of ending
you wanted?
Speaker 13 (43:26):
I don't, but maybe one day she can come back
somewhere somehow.
Speaker 10 (43:29):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (43:34):
Business savvy well play.
Speaker 8 (43:38):
It's also safe so interesting that they I feel like
our writer has got at least a little dig in
on your behalf because literally Alex says to Chris Keller,
I want to take the tour and then she's gone,
and we all were like, wait what, But you know
they were kind of like, oh, you're gonna take her.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
We'll tell the people you took her. Y, you know everyone.
Speaker 8 (44:04):
Most of the time we're like, please don't take things
from our lives and put them on the TV.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That feels weird, but that felt that's kind of nice,
I think. So it's nice to know they got it
in there a lot bit.
Speaker 13 (44:12):
And now it's like, you realize how special it is
to be on something so incredible. So back then I
didn't really appreciate where I was at. Like now, if
I was to be able to be on a show
again series regular, which is what I'm always fighting for,
it's something that I will take. I will not take
for granted as I took back then, and to be.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Fair, I don't think any of us fully appreciated or
understood what we were a part of at the time.
Speaker 13 (44:38):
I would have stayed one thousand percent.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
Yeah, but it would have been awesome to see what
they would have done with Alex, because in watching the
way that we got to see a conclusion with Dan, Like,
it's nice to see our good characters get a nice ending,
but it's almost more interesting to watch our characters who
we've gone real back and forth with. So it would
(45:01):
have been great because like, you had such high highs
and low lows. It was mannic at times and like,
and you did a great job with it, but then
you also grounded a real human in there, and so
it would have been cool had they had the time
to actually see where it would have ended, you know,
because the range of outcomes for Alex, dude, it's massive.
Speaker 7 (45:19):
Yeah, you also have had so much fun.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
You just got to.
Speaker 13 (45:21):
Play so many different I miss it so much. That's
the thing I miss like having fun like that. Yeah,
I would love to have that.
Speaker 7 (45:28):
I feel like you got to play like six different
characters in one because you never knew where it was
going to come up on the page. I feel like
we even just rewatching. I was like, oh, oh, it's
it's this Alex this time. Oh it's this version of Alex.
Speaker 11 (45:39):
Okay, so fun. She's my, hands down the funnest character
I've ever played.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
What was your favorite part of playing Alex, Like, what
type of scenes when you'd read in the script you'd
go like, oh, hell.
Speaker 13 (45:49):
Yeah, when I was able to I mean again, my
favorite scene was the one with Austin where I said
I hate myself when it's quiet, because I really tapped
into my own stuff in those and I love being
able to heel through work. So I loved being able
to bring a little bit of heart to her and
authenticity to her.
Speaker 9 (46:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
That scene with you too on set when you're it
was the most relatable real moment when you're freaking out
because you're like, I don't think I can do this
as an actor, and and then you, as like a
kind wise director, You're like you just like talked her
down very gently, and then you dropped into it and
you actually crushed. The real performance was so good, Austin.
Speaker 13 (46:32):
Is I mean, I've told you this million times, Like
we did a movie together what two years ago and
your hands down my favorite scene partner with you know,
because you you give so much to your scene partner
and it's always been so appreciated.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
Wow, you look at guys and suddenly he's chopped liver.
Speaker 13 (46:49):
But we didn't really have those moments together, do you know?
I didn't even have had I did I love but
you know, but we didn't have those like real we're.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
You know, they were like we don't know what to
give these too, have her lick his face and leave?
Speaker 7 (47:07):
Okay, Wow, Hey, thanks for listening.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Welcome in to apparently I'm pretending it's not happening the
last episode of Drama Queens. This is this is the
one occasion where I feel like a.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Boo is appropriate and welcome. That was lovely. Wait to
be good sports.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
How are you guys feeling?
Speaker 7 (00:52):
I feel like I was gonna say nervous, but it's
not nerves. It's just I'm melancholic. And I'm also I'm like.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I was so excited to be here with all of you.
Speaker 7 (01:03):
Guys and with you and to celebrate altogether all the
work that we've done and put into this. But it's
also just really sad and I don't want it to end.
But you know, the show's over and it's time.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
But in the.
Speaker 8 (01:17):
Weirdest way, when we get to come to these cool things,
and hang out with you guys, and someone will be like,
I'm on my fifth rewatch now, I'm like, you know what,
I get it. Maybe we should just start over.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
There's more things to say.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
Can you imagine, though, Literally we just keep starting over.
We're like sixty and we're just watching it.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
I think that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Actually it's just us having the same conversation over and
over and people still tuning in to be like, I'm
here for it.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
This is great.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
But I am so glad that that this Wow, this
is so melancholic. I'm I'm so grateful for the way
that we're getting to do it with you all here
at Trick in Wilmington. It's it's like, this is an
event I would prefer to not have to happen, but
(02:13):
if it's going to happen, like this is exactly how
I would want it to go down, Like with no
wall in this building in this town.
Speaker 8 (02:21):
We were talking about this on our way up the
stairs when we were all trying not to cry, and
we were like, well, at least silver lining we're here,
and we looked at each other and joy goes. Could
you imagine having done this over zoom and I said, yeah,
like what hit the red button, leave meeting and it's over.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Yeah, and it would have been a disaster. I think
we all would have just left our computers on for
the day, just like gone it and out of the house,
or just like let's just leave.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
The zoom on so at least we're in each other. Well.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
Also, what happens sometimes is like we hang up on
the zoom and then we immediately all FaceTime each other.
We like get on a group FaceTime to figure some
detail out, and I'm like, we would have just gotten
on FaceTime and cried and drank or something.
Speaker 10 (03:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
Yeah, yeah, I want to try.
Speaker 9 (03:09):
And this is good.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
This is good practice for me because I'm such a
theater kid performer. I'm used to stepping on a stage
and my emotions immediately have to click into whatever the
performance is expected of me. But I really want to
be here with you guys, with you guys and like
feel what I'm feeling. So yeah, yea.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Man, bring your mess, bring all of the colors.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
We welcome them.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Also, there's probably a lot of people in the audience
who are feeling the exact same way.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
One there is like one saving grace to it is
that at least, like we have these events, so while
this specific activity the drama Queens is coming to an end,
it's not like if this was a one time thing
where we didn't do these, it would be brutal because
it would be such a fun time and then we'd
be like and there's it's never happening again. Yeah, at
(03:59):
least there's some and knowing that, like this whole fun
is still going to be able to happen.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
It's just like this, I need to keep seeing you guys,
and you guys. I kind of wish we'd all watched
the finale together, do you know what I mean? Like
if we'd played it on the screen and then sat
up little til I went to and then just immediately
turned around and sat down and started talking about it.
I should have had that idea two months ago. I'm sorry,
it's not.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
By the way, our entire production team back there just went, oh, no,
we're not.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You were not expecting you to cere that up.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
We just in real time realized it would have been
cool if we thought about it two months ago.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
That's a terrible habit of mine.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
By the way, like being in a moment and being like,
you know what would make this so much better if
somebody two months ago had thought of AB or C.
Everybody's like that's great. So now we're all just bummed down.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
You're a producer's nightmare, like, and we're rolling in joys
Like I was just thinking, what if there was rain
in this shot?
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Joy, it would be better if there was rain, but
we don't have time.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Do you remember the Halloween episode in what way?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
When I was directing, well, yes, but in what way?
Speaker 8 (05:08):
And you looked at me and went, but why am
I wearing this? And I was like I can't I
right now, I'm directing from inside of a paper machet orange.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Just help me, and you went, yeah, I gotcha, Okay,
I got ya.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Was I a pregnant cheerleader? What was yea? And I
was like, what's my motivations? Yeah? She's like, Joy, there's
four hundred people on this scene, like figure it.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
Out, because like the joke was supposed to be that
you just stuck like a pillow in your cheer uniform,
except it wasn't a pillow. It was like a nude
pregnancy bump, but it didn't have the belly button, and
you were like it should either be a pillow or
be the bump with the belly button.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
And I was like, I don't have those, give me
a prenzel, you a belly button with a sharpie. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
At least you didn't say maybe it should be raining
in here, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
But to your critic, great, that was a really good
idea because could you imagine if one of the event
options was like a drama queen's slumber party and it
was and it was straight up like five hours and
we just watched the last three episodes together, Oh my.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
God, like high school lock in. Yeah, I loved those.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
I'm not saying we couldn't do that at a later time,
just for fun, like maybe yeah, a reunion late maybe
next year.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
I mean, I will say I sort of think the
whole shared ethos of this entire room is that.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We like rewatching our show. Yeah, we don't have to
do it just once.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Hey and listen.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now that we're doing holiday themed events, hear me out,
there is nothing stopping us from doing like a rewatch
of a Halloween episode.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
That sounds good in costume, Okay, yeah, I do have
the hat.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
I'm halfway into the little foreign right now. I think
I could probably. Yeah, somewhere there's a Batman suit for James.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Again.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
All of the producers in organ as was backstage. We're like,
that's so great. Could you just get through tonight? Thank
you that I worked tirelessly on.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 9 (07:07):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Oh you got well, it's been fun.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No, they gave okay, they gave us cards.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
We have things to do. We do have things we're
supposed to do seven oh two host chat.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We have I don't know in two minutes, got five
minutes until we get to.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Wait.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
I am trying to.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Think of like the very last episode. It was a
good episode. It was well, we got this great question.
Remember when we were doing our Q and A. Somebody
asked how we wanted our characters to end, like if
we could have given them another ending. But you weren't
here for that because that was it. That was Lee
and Twine and Rob and I. You guys, d we
(07:52):
have anything to say about that?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, I didn't know the question until this very moment, So.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
I'm sorry to second. I mean, I do mean to
put you on spots.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I know.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
These guys very sweetly did a Q and a I
couldn't make because I've been working in Canada, And then
I really I was so convinced I was gonna be
able to do it. I even brought my mic to set.
Then those producers were like, man, why do you have
a microphone for the job that you're not here to do?
And I was like, I don't know, I see how
that might not track. Well, I'll put this away.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I just thought I'd get on the zoom or something.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
I love that that's the neurodivergent.
Speaker 8 (08:28):
Yeah, like I could do both, and they're like, literally,
you can't, like right, got it? I think for me
when you say that, like, how would you want your
character to end? I I was so happy with our
last episode. It really did feel kind of like a present.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You know.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
You hear people say in a negative way about TV
sometimes like oh on at the end of every episode
they were wrap it up in a bow, like that's
not real life. But I actually think our show deserved
an episode where we wrapped it up in a bow
and like made it beautiful. I do kind of wish
some of our shark writing in Surprise Season nine hadn't
(09:14):
been like so sharky, like I would have liked to
have not maybe had another run in with Xavier, like
for why, for what? Although the gal who has my
sweater from that scene is here and it's a great sweater.
So there were silver linings. But I feel really good
about where it went. I liked seeing everyone in a
(09:38):
rhythm and happy and doing the things our characters had
done when we were in high school. There's really something
to that, to the the kind of cyclical nature of
a life.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And I thought it was sort of great.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Yeah, that's that's kind of I think what we ended
up saying too, that it just feels like everything ended
in such a way that it was right for everything
that we'd all been through, all that all the characters
had been through, Yeah, to just be able to be
connected and have like these moments of happy endings, because
there is no happy ending in life. I mean you
(10:16):
just moments end and new ones start, and then those
end and new ones start, and some aren't happy and
some are not. But for all of us to have
a moment collectively that is a happy ending of that
season of life felt like there's still space for so
much more that you can imagine is continuing on in
(10:36):
their lives and it felt like it was done really well.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
To me, Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It did feel like more of us see you soon
than a goodbye. And I feel like what it did
very successfully is it was a good episode of television
while also being a great thank you to the fans
in the sense like I feel like everyone because we've
all come to love these characters, and in this case,
was like, now we're going to let you see that.
Like they're gonna get the life that you hope they
(11:02):
were gonna get, you know, like they're gonna they're gonna
have a quote unquote like happy ending, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
And I just felt like that was it was.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Such a service to the fans because so many shows
will be like we want to leave you on a
cliff hanger or a big question mark, and this one
was kind of like, Nah, you're gonna see all of
our people and they're gonna be happy, and they're gonna
work out most of their stuff.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Yeah, and they're gonna songs.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Yeah, all the girls are gonna be wearing really long
extensions to show the passage of time. I also, I
just have to say, Rob, you're such a classy guy.
You're so thoughtful because you're you're you're the inner sanctum dude,
right like you're the ally in the room always. And
even the fact that this sweet man just goes, you know,
(11:43):
a quote unquote happy ending because he doesn't want to
be like all the character's gonna happy ending.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's what she said. You are so yummy and I
love you like he just come on this thought.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
God stop.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You know this feels like the right time to celebrate
a nice moment.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
With a cocktail.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I could help with that.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Okay, yeah, some of you may know, and for those
of you who don't, we have a lovely sponsor a
Cheap Caribbean and has anyone actually taken a tour with them?
Has anyone gone on a cheap Caribbean. I'm gonna hold
this for you, Oh thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I'm gonna hold this for her so she can like
vamp and do the thing.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
I'm just gonna sit back here and contribute nothing.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
You sit there and look pretty, dad, I haven't.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
It looks really fun. I think you should go on
a cheap Caribbean cruise.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Well, also, I do, like you know, Joy is our
resident bartender, and I know it's pumpkin season. But she
was like, I want to go to the Caribbean. That
feels like summer. Let me make a margarita.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
And I was like, my girl, because that's the cocktail
I want.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Yeah, it is never the wrong time for a margarita.
So we're muddling some watermelon. Muddle, muddle, muddle chic.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Is there pressure, like, is there a particular pressure to
muddle or does it depend on the.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You pressure to crush?
Speaker 7 (13:02):
So at the point of crushing, then you cease.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That's crushworthy. I'm sorry I had to rob is a
literal dad, but I got dad jokes.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Okay, you got them.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I got them.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
We didn't get any copy for Cheap Caribbean.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
But if I had to just imagine what they'd want
us to say, it would probably be something like, if
you like being buzzed in your living room, you're gonna
love being buzzed in the Caribbean.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
I like that. Two ounces of tequila.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Three, come on, we're not drive and joy it just kidding.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Make mine a virgin.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Please, yes, okay, okay, but I feel like two ounces
of tequila. I'm just making one drink here. Now you
have to at least triple that. Oh you're gonna make
me do math on stage?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
So far?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Okay, what cl do it?
Speaker 8 (13:53):
So if two ounces of tequila, if we're trying to
make three drinks at six, okay, so you put into
do four more?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You guys, we're so smart.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I know.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
It's the three forths. It's the three forths that I'm okay.
But three forths is the lime juice. So one and
a half.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Right, is doubled and another one?
Speaker 8 (14:17):
No, I have to do it fractionally otherwise I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
So's it's two and a quarter? So do two in
a splash?
Speaker 10 (14:24):
All right?
Speaker 7 (14:25):
So there's one already in there.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
There's there's a there's one, and there's a fourth.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Three fourths?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, three fourth times three is two. It's two point
two five, it's two and a quarter.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Can you tell which one of us studied economics?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
You just under two?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
You know?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
What do to make it?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Lmey yeah, it just you know, none of us will
get scurvy. Let's get a bunch of citrus in there,
the silent killer.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Guys.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
We don't talk about scurvy enough.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
Okay, how much of the.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Is a it's a half an ounce of a gave o. Wait,
let me see.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
Let's see. So you're one and a half.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
So I'm gonna sorry, Hey, do you guys think we
should ask joy to do long division next?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
What can't you got everything?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
New math?
Speaker 9 (15:09):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I don't either.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
My kids aren't old enough to do that yet.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's coming.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I was just I have to tell you.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
I was just in Rwanda and I went to this.
It was a school that I was there for and
I walked into, like, watch this class if the kids
were in third grade, and the teacher Often people who
are visiting will come help out with the class.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
So I go in and I.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Said, and the teacher's like do you want to help out?
Speaker 10 (15:30):
Do you want? Can you?
Speaker 7 (15:30):
And I was like sure, let me help and so
he hands me a red pen and he goes, can
you just go grade some of these papers? And I
was like, oh, you don't.
Speaker 9 (15:37):
You don't want me.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Everyone gets do that.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
And he goes, you know, it's a little language barrier.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
So he understood that I didn't want to do that.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
So he goes, oh, okay, and he reaches over and
grabs the ruler, hands it to me and he goes
the board is right there, and he goes and sits down,
and I have to teach the math class.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
No, that's your literal worst nightmare.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
And I did it.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I mean I don't know how I said it, by
the grace of the Lord.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yes, okay, wow, okay.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Guys, back to muddling. We got drinks to make.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, you have to make more melons. Watermelon.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I thought i'd teach math class well, but I like that.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I like that you told this guy I don't feel
confident grading papers, and he was like, if you don't
feel confident in grading papers, you should definitely be teaching
the entire class.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I don't think he understood. I think he just thought
it was my preference. And I was being a little like,
like like a dramatic like, oh no, that's not I
don't want to grade your That's not good enough for me.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
No, let me teach it.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
You're like, yeah, I've never driven a stick, and he's like,
you seem like you should teach the driving course.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
All right, we have glasses.

Sorry, I'm putting ice in here.

Speaker 8 (17:41):
That's the most insane thing one of your children has
said to you lately.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
When my son was one and a half, one night,
it was winter, so it was dark early and it
was getting ready for bedtime. Yeah, and he was standing
out the window looking out and it was dark and.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
I said, uh, hey, it's uh it's time.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
It's pajama time, buddy, And he took a beat, didn't
look back at me, and he just went.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
The darkness is waiting for us.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
And Jenny and I looked at each other like, who what,
Let's pretend like we're not terrified by that.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
What's the chance you have a wet one over there
for joy. That's very poetic and slightly terrifying.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yes, very terrifying, one of those.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Can someone hand me our friend's cups so she can.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Have a garnish? Also, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (18:32):

hand sanitizer and seeing our friend a watermelon.
Speaker 9 (18:42):

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Thousand calories making those drinks.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Joy, good work, I try.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Cheers, cheers, salim.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Oh, that's fright.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Honestly fantastic.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
I like the extra line.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
It's very good.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Speaking of toasts. You know how often the writers love
to say speaking of on our show it was a
really nice little bag think.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
They would always cut to another scene speaking speaking of
and then.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
You know, yeah, we have we have another human we'd
like to toast friends. Is it gonna work?
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Hi, guys?
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Oh man, I just I'm always blown away that you
guys show up over and over and over again. It
is an extraordinary community.
Speaker 9 (19:56):
To be a part of.
Speaker 10 (19:58):
And with the end of Drama Queens, I'm having this
deja vous moment because it's reminded me so much of
when I was leaving One Tree Hill, and I made
a video where I just really wanted to express my
gratitude to the fan base and tell them how much
I love Peyton Sawyer and how much I have loved
(20:21):
working on the show and the whole experience. It was
important for me to put that message out into the
world even though I was leaving, and so in this
moment with the podcast ending, I just again really want
to say thank you. You know, I know there are
a lot of reboot podcasts out there in the world, right,
(20:46):
but there was something kind of different about ours because
everyone knew about the trauma that a lot of us
had been through, and this podcast was a reclamation and
it was an opportunity to the bad stuff and really
really celebrate the good stuff. For me personally, it was
(21:08):
an opportunity to see what you guys saw in the show.
I'd had so many of my own personal memories.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Attached to it.
Speaker 10 (21:16):
To see it through your eyes was so cool and
has given me that chapter of my life back. So
thank you. And you know, I had no idea when
I made that first video back in two thousand and
nine that we were going to do so many other
things together. We were going to do other TV shows together.
(21:38):
We were going to do the Christmas movies that we've
done together. That we were going to have this whole
convention life together, meeting up in random hotels all over
the world. What a cool future that I had no
idea was coming. And it's all because you guys showed up.
So thank you for showing up today, thank you for
(22:00):
showing up for the podcast, thank you for showing up
for all the various projects that we get involved in.
You are an extraordinary group of people and I'm so
grateful for you.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
So Sta Hillary, Hell yeah, well said huh.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
That is beautifully said. Wow.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
No, It's like I hate when everyone doesn't get to
come and I love when people are working, But I'm
like work less.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Really is so true?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
That will you guys help us send a video back
to her? Hi Bo, Hi Hillary, We miss you. We
just watched your video.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
We managed not to completely solved, which honestly feels like
a big deal. We really wish you were here, and
a bunch of other people wish you were here too.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
We love you, love you.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Bevan and Danielle aren't here either.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Hold on, okay, okay, okay, beel.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
What Who's dead?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Run it back, run it back from the top.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I'm sorry over okay, Hi Bie, Hi guys, hid we
miss you. Guys.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
It feels really weird to be here without you, and
there's a whole bunch of other people who agree. We
love you, thank you, Okay, it feels fun. I'm sorry
I took my phone out, but I'm also not sorry.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Bummer.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Those people couldn't be here, but we do have the
good fortune of having a few special friends here with us.
Tonight we do the first of which you all might
have heard of. He is one Tree Hill's Residence, Sex Pylon,
the Walking Handsome himself, Senor Austin Nichols.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Out here stand.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Take him to the go ahead, take them on to
the bridge.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Don't take him to the bridge, take him to the bridge.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Here, you take me.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Get out of here. Hi.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Yeah, oh my god, this is so fun.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Do you suddenly feel like we're on a late show?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I mean yes, this is such a late night talk
show vibe.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I have always wanted to hold a pile of cards
like this, and on my inner child is geeking out.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
You have a future in this what's that you have
a future in this? Thank you guys, Austin, I can encourage.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
This is very much.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
It's like when Kramer gets the murv Griffin Show and
is living.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
All of my cards are just like it's facts about
a giraffe, best way to make a peanut butter, that
has nothing to do with the show.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
It's just for me to hold something.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Wait, those are different cards that I have.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Give me those, rude. Wait, Austin, how are you?
Speaker 6 (25:14):
How are you?
Speaker 12 (25:15):
I'm great, I'm great. I had a great day with
all of you. This is such a such a great.
Speaker 9 (25:19):
Day to give them back to.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
I didn't see that before.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Wow, we were just out here talking about how crazy
it is to be thinking about the finale of the show.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Do you what do you remember about it?
Speaker 10 (25:33):
You know?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I never watched season nine?
Speaker 10 (25:36):
What.
Speaker 12 (25:37):
I have not seen it except for the one I directed,
and I don't I don't know why. I don't know
if I'm saving it. I maybe i'll watch it tomorrow,
but I for so, I don't know, like I'm I
guess I'm a softie, and like maybe I was. I
didn't want to watch it yet or wanted to save
I don't know. There was some reason. But I will
(25:58):
watch it someday. I just didn't.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
There is that thing right where if you don't watch it,
something in your brain thinks, oh, there's more maybe.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Like I have that with a lot of shows that
I really love. I will try and avoid the last
season or the last episode. It's a subconscious thing. I
don't intentionally do it. I just happened to get too busy.
I just sort of find myself six months from it.
It's like an easy way of saying goodbye, like I'm
leaving you.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
You can't leave me.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Yeah, there's final help.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Like to this day, I haven't seen the serious finale
of the Office.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
I've never watched the last episode of Breaking Bad The Closer.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
And weirdly enough, like you Joy, it wasn't like a
line in the sand. It was like I got there
just kind of like maybe I'll go make a takoe.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yes, I just avoided it.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
I'm going to try and avoid this discomfort by going
somewhere else.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Yeah, and I never so we had we.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Were talking earlier about the ending of the show and
if we were happy with how our characters were wrapped up,
And how how.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Do you feel about the way do you remember Julian?
Speaker 12 (27:08):
Well, oh yeah, do you be honest, I don't remember everything,
but what I do remember that I loved was a Julian.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
He started as a producer who came to get He
got Lucas's book, the rights to Lucas's book.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
He wanted to make a movie out of Lucas's book.
He was a producer who became a director and then
a director who wanted to make a TV show about
Tree Hill. And to be given that was such a
huge gift because this is I mean, what a responsibility,
(27:40):
you know, in this fictional world, to be the guy
that tells the story about our story. Also, I just
realized you started this show as an actor and then
became a director on it. Yes, so it was a
little meta, very very You may have all had this realization.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
I just real time, right, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
The first was directing.
Speaker 12 (28:02):
The first place I ever got to direct was One
Tree Hill and it was really interesting because I just
I can't remember exactly how it happened. You might have
been doing one and I snuck into a scout van.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Maybe when you were doing your first one.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
I can't remember, but I remember just sneaking into a
van and.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
It sounds sounds hard, go on, sounds naughty, But I
stuck into a van, went on some scouts. I snuck
into a production meeting or a tone meeting, and people,
writers and producers started going, what what are you?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 6 (28:36):
And it was kind of like this real. It's like, oh, okay,
he's interested in that.
Speaker 12 (28:40):
And and I got my first one in season eight,
and it was I just fell in love with I
love the whole thing, and I know.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
You guys do too.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
It's it's it's just very cool to be at the
helm and and talking to the actors and guiding them.
And there's something about it that, you know, being an actor,
you're kind of like paint on some one else's canvas
and you get to be the painter and you get
to Yeah, it's really really cool.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Paul told me once when I was going to start
directing on the show and I was talking with him,
he said he saw all my notes and was a
copious amounts of notes and tabs and all the things,
and he's like joy directing his quality control.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
So what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
He said, it's just trust everybody in their departments to
do their job.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
They know what they're doing.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Your job is to quality control, So if there's something
that's like a little out of place or a little off,
you can, you know, speak to it, but otherwise you
can sort of trust to let things move.
Speaker 9 (29:34):
And I always felt like you.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Were really good at that as a director, that you
had this instinct to you just weren't overbearing, but you
had very specific ideas.
Speaker 9 (29:45):
But it never felt like.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
It never felt like you were trying to fit your
foot in the door, like trying to make it work.
Like you just naturally showed up and kind of flowed.
You could read the room really easily and read the
different emotions, and like you just had that inherently quality.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
You Also, we on our wrap up tour, we really
like to do the compliment stream and it's because our
people deserve it. But you have such an amazing knowledge
of filmography, Like I would say, you are probably one
of the biggest film.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Nerds of our whole crew.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Nerdy, but it's really cool because I remember even then,
you know, we'd be working on something or doing a
storyline and you'd be like, oh, yeah, kind of like
and you'd give all of us these references and we'd
be like what, and we'd all watch these movies that
we never would have known about if it wasn't for you.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And it's a really, to Rob's point kind of meta thing.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
That what you're naturally so good at you developed on
top of on the show as an actor and then
a director. But then it was, to Joy's point, so
who you are in the room that it like became
your character's journey, you know, Like I joke sometimes that
I'm such a pain in the ass about social justice
(31:06):
that Brooke Davis became one because I drove the writer's
nuts and they were like, shut up, we'll just put
it on the show. And you came in and we're
just like, I'm an expert at this, and they were like, wow, Bostin,
you are an expert at this.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
You did a really good job. Proud of your pal.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Thank you, Thank you guys.
Speaker 12 (31:26):
You know, one of my favorite directors is Ron Howard.
And Ron Howard you know, as an actor, and you know,
there's something about just having been in we're the same troop,
and I stand in your shoes all the time and
know what It's like when someone you know gives you
a direction or shouts or maybe does it in a
(31:49):
way that doesn't feel good or doesn't have ideas or
doesn't have ideas, it just maybe it's just yeah, like
there's just a really there's a way to talk to us,
and then there's there's ways that aren't.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
We're show dogs, we scare easily.
Speaker 12 (32:03):
You know, you know, yea, but yeah, I don't know.
There's there's just a we understand each other. And as
I say, we understand each other. Like I'm just a
director now, I'm still an actor, but there's something great
about that understanding.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
We understand, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
I also think there's a really cool thing that happens
when you are being directed by your peers. You're being
directed by people you trust, and especially you know on
a show like this one, which has so many amazing
moments and great storylines and then often puts a bridle
on a shark, and you're like, how am I going
(32:44):
to do this at all? And when you have a
friend and an ally with you, like, there's something when
you can look at your director and go is this
tracking or do I look ridiculous? And the person behind
the camera can go this is tracking really well, make
this little shift here, give me this and it will
(33:04):
read the way I know you want it to. And
it makes you feel freer to perform in a way
because you're less like, well, that guy's just watching the
clock and the angle and doesn't really care what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
And I'm gonna you.
Speaker 12 (33:17):
Trust the person behind the monitor. You'll do anything for them. Yeah, yeah,
but it's trust.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
You're not giving a good performance if you're simultaneously watching
your own back.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
You know you can't.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Most of the fans don't know that the whole Julian
not knowing how to five high five was actually based
on a real life issue of you not knowing how.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
No, it was a joke.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
This makes me so happy.
Speaker 12 (33:46):
It was a joke, and I think I just I said,
you know the nerd high five? And we were talking
and everybody was around, and I said, you know the
nerd the nerd high five. It's like it's from really low,
like down from the hip and you just go straight up,
and I just it's just a funny.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
It was just this funny thing.
Speaker 12 (34:03):
And then like a month later, I get a script
and I start reading and I go, oh.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
God, just the audacity that, like, we took objectively the
coolest guy on our show, and we decided to saddle
him with the storyline that he didn't know how to
do one of the most widely popular social norms, like
this guy should be inventing cool shit, not like not
(34:28):
knowing how to do the very first iteration of it.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
I like you, that's very nice. But also the.
Speaker 12 (34:33):
Things that when we when we make fools of ourselves,
it can sometimes like I was afraid to do that.
I thought it was in the moment in those days,
I thought it was dumb, really, and then now everybody
like talks about it and they like want to high
five on the sidewalk.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Well, buddy, I'm like, I've told you your vulnerability, We've
all said it your vulnerability, and you're willing to play it.
Sincerely became your superpower because what that did is it
made Julian infinitely more likable and lovable.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Hopefully.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Yeah, I think had you played that trying to make
it cool, it would have been wildly unsuccessful. But like
your instincts were spot on in making it just like endearing.
Speaker 11 (35:12):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Well you said you had never directed before one tree Hill,
and our next guest had never touched a musical instrument
or sang a song in her life until an episode
of One Tree Hill Welcome our next guest, Jana Kramer.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Running way.
Speaker 8 (36:05):
That's how emotional we are. We're like, no, but I
saw you backstage. But touch me, hold me, hug me.
Speaker 9 (36:09):
I'm sad.
Speaker 10 (36:10):
Hi.
Speaker 11 (36:11):
Hi guys, guy, guys.
Speaker 10 (36:13):
Bye.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
This is fun.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
It really is like late night.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
You had never played music or sang or anything before
One Tree Hill Wait.
Speaker 13 (36:22):
I was six and the Romeo Peach Pageant in Romeo, Michigan,
and I sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in a rock version,
and that was the last time.
Speaker 11 (36:32):
Pretty much.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
To be fair, I actually just said that being stupid
because I figured for sure you were so talented that
I assumed you had That was me technically.
Speaker 13 (36:41):
The true story is the first time that I ever
really sang in front of anybody that wasn't my best
friend in Los Angeles was during the Writer's strike. I
was on Friday Night Lights and the writer's strike happened
and CMT was doing a show Can you do it?
And I'm like, well, this sounds fun, I'm not doing anything.
The show was shut down. I don't know when it's
going back. And so me and my girlfriend flew to
(37:03):
Nashville and stood in line and auditioned, and that was
the first time I sang in front of anybody besides her.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (37:10):
What Yeah?
Speaker 13 (37:11):
And then I made it and then she didn't, and
then I was like, but I can't do it without her,
and so then I quit the show, and then the
whole thing, and then then the writer strick ended and
so I was like, well that that. I just always
remembered that moment, like maybe I do have something and
I wanted to kind of try.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Yes, I'm so glad you did. I remember hearing you
sing on set, like wandering around listening to singers. You
said it like Mindy Smith is what tho was the
first Mindy Smith. She's amazing.
Speaker 13 (37:33):
Oh my goodness, raw, that rag Doll song was one
of my favorite songs ever.
Speaker 9 (37:37):
I'd actually don't know that it's so good.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (37:40):
I had her Christmas album I think at the time.
But anyway, it's also when I'm next to drawing.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (37:47):
So it's so crazy to think about that though, because
it's like you just happened to you. What's happening to me?
In this moment. We were so in the swing of
music on the show and with you and Tyler and
Kate and the thing, and then you were just doing
it and you were I mean, we were living together.
Speaker 11 (38:05):
We were going to Nashville.
Speaker 13 (38:06):
Every time I ever really wrote a song was when
I was living with you guys, and I had someone
flip fly in from Nashville and we wrote a song
called you Can't Save Me and Save the Rose.
Speaker 11 (38:16):
I mean all this, yeah, but I'm like, wait, you.
Speaker 12 (38:19):
Were literally suddenly writing songs on the couch the songwriter.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
And we were like, what's going on? And then and
then we heard her singing like oh my god, you
were so good.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
Whoa And then she was.
Speaker 8 (38:29):
Going to Nashville and we were like, well, duh, what
do you mean that wasn't in the works when you
got here. That's a detail that fell through the cracks
in such a crazy way.
Speaker 10 (38:42):
I did.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
Yeah, I mean it was just something I knew.
Speaker 13 (38:44):
The creator loved music and finding new music, so that's
why I you know, I was writing some songs and
then said, hey, what do you guys think? And then
some of them were like yeah, and then they turned
it into a singer. So I mean hello, and I'm
so grateful because it was a really fun ride. I
don't do it as much anymore, but whenever I did
play a show, I always thanked my One Tree Hillers
(39:06):
because they were the loudest at any show ever. Yes,
I mean, you guys are truly the only reason I
ever got a record deal.
Speaker 11 (39:15):
There's no way, and truth be told.
Speaker 13 (39:17):
Before the show came out, I went to labels and
I got turned down by every single label. And then
when the show aired and the song came out, that
is when the labels then said, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
They should like you guys made a big mistake.
Speaker 13 (39:34):
Huge Again, I got dropped five years later.
Speaker 11 (39:39):
It's fun.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
Happens to the best of us.
Speaker 7 (39:44):
Also, I have a question because we go back and
forth a lot about Alex on this podcast.
Speaker 9 (39:48):
I heard there's a lot.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
No, no, don't say it like that.
Speaker 10 (39:52):
I know.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Did we praise you from the mountaintops?
Speaker 7 (39:56):
Oh yeah, it's all I mean, it's it's good news
about jam and what talent she is.
Speaker 9 (40:01):
But I have some bones to pick. Well, well, no,
there's a lot. I mean there's a lot of there's
a lot.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Of whiplash with her character and when I mean character.
I mean, like the body of who she is as
a person, not like the caricature of what she's been
written as, but like I would just you know, I
think all of us, whether we're playing a villain or
a hero, we defend our character to the death. You
have to believe in what you're doing and create reasons
(40:29):
for your character to make sense in the world. Tell me,
can you just tell us a little bit about like Alex,
who who she is to you?
Speaker 9 (40:36):
Is she a hero? Is she a villain?
Speaker 7 (40:37):
Is she just a misunderstood woman?
Speaker 5 (40:40):
Like?
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Tell how do you see her?
Speaker 10 (40:42):
So?
Speaker 13 (40:43):
When I because I did an audition for her first,
you didn't I auditioned to be your sister, I'll try.
Speaker 9 (40:49):
Yeah that's right, okay.
Speaker 13 (40:50):
And in the room they said you should read for Alex.
And when I was reading the breakdown of it, I
mean truly, I was just like I I didn't like
her at all, really at all, okay, And I just
was like, I've never been drunk. She's like she's me
Like I'm like, I don't, I don't know how to
play this like lah kind of character. So truly I
was shocked that I got hired. And then and then no,
(41:12):
I really was. I was just like, this is And
then I was really self conscious because I'm not the
like even my best friend. I was auditioning for something
and it said like really bubbly, and I'm like, I
have a hard time being like blah, and she is that.
Speaker 11 (41:24):
And I didn't.
Speaker 13 (41:25):
So I didn't really love her at first. So then
I remember talking to the creator saying like, I'm struggling
with this, and he goes, find something you like about her?
Speaker 9 (41:34):
And so what was that?
Speaker 13 (41:36):
She She had stuff she didn't know how to deal with.
It was all stuff that so I put pieces of
my own things into her, and then I started to
mold her into that, and then then I was like, no,
she's fun and she's just doesn't know how to express her.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
One question that we've kind of all been looking at
is regarding the ending, talking about like did we get
the end?
Speaker 6 (41:57):
Is this the ending we would have liked for our character?
Speaker 4 (42:00):
And I feel like we all had a much different
experience than you because we got a happy wrap up,
a timely.
Speaker 6 (42:05):
Wrap up, walk us through years because that was whip last.
Speaker 13 (42:09):
We were like, I'm sorry what so I was told
by my label I couldn't finish the show, because why
do you have to go I had to go on
radio tour?
Speaker 5 (42:22):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (42:22):
That is the correct of the night.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
The way, by the way, not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (42:29):
Keeping you on the show would have been great for them.
Speaker 13 (42:31):
To then like country the country market there if you
didn't devote to just being a country artist, like they
weren't signing people like they were.
Speaker 11 (42:39):
They won't they don't believe you. I had to be like, no,
I'm not.
Speaker 13 (42:41):
This is what I want to do, and I quit
this and I'm going to show you that I'm doing
this to just like prove that I was what they
wanted me to be. But meanwhile, the other people on
the Labor label, the men, were able to do like,
but he's doing that, he's doing that, why can't I.
So I was so disappointed because obviously, I mean, no, granted,
it all works out, everything's fine. But my biggest regret
(43:03):
in that it was I didn't get to have a
wrap up. It's just just it was just gone, and
then it was just that was a bummer because truly,
acting is I love. That's my number one besides being
a mom. But just to not have that wrap up
with the character still feels a little empty to me, what.
Speaker 9 (43:22):
Would you how would you like to have seen her?
Have you thought about that? Like what kind of ending
you wanted?
Speaker 13 (43:26):
I don't, but maybe one day she can come back
somewhere somehow.
Speaker 10 (43:29):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (43:34):
Business savvy well play.
Speaker 8 (43:38):
It's also safe so interesting that they I feel like
our writer has got at least a little dig in
on your behalf because literally Alex says to Chris Keller,
I want to take the tour and then she's gone,
and we all were like, wait what, But you know
they were kind of like, oh, you're gonna take her.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
We'll tell the people you took her. Y, you know everyone.
Speaker 8 (44:04):
Most of the time we're like, please don't take things
from our lives and put them on the TV.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That feels weird, but that felt that's kind of nice,
I think. So it's nice to know they got it
in there a lot bit.
Speaker 13 (44:12):
And now it's like, you realize how special it is
to be on something so incredible. So back then I
didn't really appreciate where I was at. Like now, if
I was to be able to be on a show
again series regular, which is what I'm always fighting for,
it's something that I will take. I will not take
for granted as I took back then, and to be.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Fair, I don't think any of us fully appreciated or
understood what we were a part of at the time.
Speaker 13 (44:38):
I would have stayed one thousand percent.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
Yeah, but it would have been awesome to see what
they would have done with Alex, because in watching the
way that we got to see a conclusion with Dan, Like,
it's nice to see our good characters get a nice ending,
but it's almost more interesting to watch our characters who
we've gone real back and forth with. So it would
(45:01):
have been great because like, you had such high highs
and low lows. It was mannic at times and like,
and you did a great job with it, but then
you also grounded a real human in there, and so
it would have been cool had they had the time
to actually see where it would have ended, you know,
because the range of outcomes for Alex, dude, it's massive.
Speaker 7 (45:19):
Yeah, you also have had so much fun.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
You just got to.
Speaker 13 (45:21):
Play so many different I miss it so much. That's
the thing I miss like having fun like that. Yeah,
I would love to have that.
Speaker 7 (45:28):
I feel like you got to play like six different
characters in one because you never knew where it was
going to come up on the page. I feel like
we even just rewatching. I was like, oh, oh, it's
it's this Alex this time. Oh it's this version of Alex.
Speaker 11 (45:39):
Okay, so fun. She's my, hands down the funnest character
I've ever played.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
What was your favorite part of playing Alex, Like, what
type of scenes when you'd read in the script you'd
go like, oh, hell.
Speaker 13 (45:49):
Yeah, when I was able to I mean again, my
favorite scene was the one with Austin where I said
I hate myself when it's quiet, because I really tapped
into my own stuff in those and I love being
able to heel through work. So I loved being able
to bring a little bit of heart to her and
authenticity to her.
Speaker 9 (46:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
That scene with you too on set when you're it
was the most relatable real moment when you're freaking out
because you're like, I don't think I can do this
as an actor, and and then you, as like a
kind wise director, You're like you just like talked her
down very gently, and then you dropped into it and
you actually crushed. The real performance was so good, Austin.
Speaker 13 (46:32):
Is I mean, I've told you this million times, Like
we did a movie together what two years ago and
your hands down my favorite scene partner with you know,
because you you give so much to your scene partner
and it's always been so appreciated.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
Wow, you look at guys and suddenly he's chopped liver.
Speaker 13 (46:49):
But we didn't really have those moments together, do you know?
I didn't even have had I did I love but
you know, but we didn't have those like real we're.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
You know, they were like we don't know what to
give these too, have her lick his face and leave?
Speaker 7 (47:07):
Okay, Wow, Hey, thanks for listening.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
