Speaker 1 (00:00):
First of all, you don't know me. We all about
that high school drama, girl drama girl, all about them.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
High school queens. We'll take you for a ride. And
our comic girl shared for the right teams drama, queens
up girl fashion, but your tough girl, you could sit
with us.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Girl drama, queens drama, Queens drama, Queens drama, drama, Queens drama, queens.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Qna, it's not for Quna.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We need a jingle questions. I know, what a funny
thing for us to be trying to figure out what
the jingle is without our resident musician today.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, it's her assignment. I know a Q and A song.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Joy's taking Maria to camp, so she's not here today,
but as a former camper and permanent forever in my council,
I love camp so much. She was so apologetic about
missing this Q and A and I was like, go
go to camp for all of us.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, no one loves camp more than you do.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
You in a clipboard and activities and an a gender soul,
Oh girl advisor.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's a dream wife for me really. But I am
excited about today because we got like, we got real
good questions today. These these make me feel excited.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
You're good because you look at them beforehand. I get
here and I see them as we go, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Like, oh, I should have thought about this.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I mean honestly, I just read them while we were
getting our recordings going.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Oh okay, I feel better.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know, I didn't look at these in advance. I
like to be spontaneously inspired. But while we figured out, like,
you know, the technical side of this job we do,
I did peruse and I like them.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
It's responsible for you to admit that, baby, thank you. Yeah,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It's actually really funny because, like I don't know, as
an adult, learning that not everyone is like honest to
a fault. I'm like, huh, what's that like to just
hold things back?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's interesting imagine if you're just like, yes, well I
am imagineable one of the two of us.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And what was really funny was a friend of mine
was like, well, you know, like you got diagnosed with
adult ADHD, which makes your whole childhood make sense, but like,
you know, a lot of women who have that are
also like gently autistic. Do you think maybe that's why
you have such a truth complex? And I was like, huh,
I haven't examined that with my therapist quite enough yet,
but I do. I do have a lot of like
(02:20):
interesting things I do to self soothe. So maybe I
don't know. I'm open. They didn't they didn't check us out.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
They just put us at the bad kid desk when
we were little.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
They told us we were misbehaving.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, no, we weren't. All right.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well, we have a question here from Jason. I wonder
if he's naughty like we are. Jason, many years after
this show ended, he says, do you think you could
jump back into your character if you had to shoot
an episode next month? If so, how easy or hard
would it be? And what do you think you would
have to do to prepare for it? Jason, That's an
(02:55):
amazing question.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
This is such a good question.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I mean I could go to where tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I think I could too.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, and I I haven't acted in a long time,
but Peyton is just like, I don't know, those are.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Our girls, Peyton Brook are our girls.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah. I think that I could go to work like
tomorrow very easily. And then part of me goes, but wait,
would I be Would I feel scared if I didn't
prepare like I feel like Brooke and Peyton are in
us so much that we could snap right back in.
But it's also really been a long time. So suddenly
(03:34):
I'm going, well, maybe there's like three or four episodes
from the more recent years or I guess the latter
years in the show that I would want to just
rewatch just to be like, hold on, let me let
me hear it, let me hear the cadence of not
just my voice but yours and Daphne's and you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, wait, which three episodes would you watch? What are
your prep episodes?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Gosh, I don't know. I I feel like I would
want I feel like I would probably want to rewatch
your wedding episode. I think I would want to rewatch
I don't know what episode it is. This is so silly,
(04:19):
but there's one from season seven that I remember Lisa
and I being so fun In and Austin and I
had really sweet stuff and I just something happens at
the store. I just remember I had this cute little
like black and tan corset and a pencil skirt. I
loved it fit that day, And I'm like, I want
to watch that episode. I think that one was good
(04:40):
and i'd probably want to watch. I'd probably want to
watch like the end of season eight.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Now it's getting fuzzy because I haven't actually seen these yet,
so I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
No, that's a that's important. I mean the prep matters.
I think. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I don't I don't love acting anymore, but I love Peyton,
and I think the idea of revisiting her and Brooke
and everyone else is very attractive to me. Yeah, that
feels like it's not work. It feels like it's like
a cool hang.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, it's weird because had you asked me that question
before we started this podcast, i'd be like, I'm not
doing that. But it is so interesting how doing this
show has made me fall back in love or like
maybe really truly in love for the first time with
our show, and now I'm like, oh my god, I
(05:42):
want to do I want to do an episode of
our show from this feeling.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, same, same, from this centered space.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I just feel so proud. I feel so much ownership
of it. I really feel I feel like we made
something really special, and I'm like, oh, it'd be so
cool to like, you know, parallel universe and make an
episode from this place and see how it well.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
And now that we've gotten to say out loud how
much of the characters were based on us, whether it
was the good stuff or the trauma, it feels like
now I can say I really like Peyton Sawyer, I
really like that Davis.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I really like all the characters on our show. I
like those people.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
So anytime you get a script for something, there's so
many variables, and it's scary because you don't know what
other actors are going to get cast. You don't know
if the producers are dicks. You know, you don't know
if the editor is going to be good or bad,
and how the result will look, you know, like you'd.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Have no control over all of that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
But what I can say is I think there's enough
in the world of Tree Hill that I can feel
pretty safe going back and having like a great time.
Let's just what happens if we just go back to
Wilmington tomorrow and just show up at screen gems Well
say hey, guys, we're here.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We know what we should do. Remember, during the pandemic,
all sorts of people started doing those live table reads
of like classic movies for charity, we should go to
Thallion Hall and like do a live theater night and
and like do a table read performance of one of
(07:25):
our favorite episodes.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, I'd even read some fan fiction.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Wild okay, wild, Okay, fine, great, Jason, Yes, we'll be
back at work shortly.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Thank you so much for asking.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Okay. Tony wants to know if you could assign a
song to each of your characters to describe them. What
would it be and why? Example, to me, Peyton is
the song absolutely story of a Girl by nine Days?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Really? Is it awful that I don't know that song?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
This is a girl? Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Never mind, I do know that song.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Is she Cried a River and drom the whole world?
That feels right for Peyton. Actually, it's a really good call.
Are you making fun of me?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
What's your song? What's your book? Days?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't have any idea why this just came to mind,
but we are family. Maybe because that's just like my
song for us, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah, I got all my sisters, mab.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, that feels really fun. I guess subconsciously that comes
up for me because we talk so much about how
it's actually the female friendships that are the greatest love
story of our show. And I love that so much.
And I love redefining like the great love story of
your life. And yeah, maybe that's why my subconscious is
(09:04):
like your family. I'm into that.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So I listened to the same song the whole time
I was there.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It was.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Mad World Tears for Fears because it was from the
Donnie Darko soundtrack, right, and there was something so Donnie
Darko about Peyton Sawyer, just like nothing makes sense, everything's
so awful. That was kind of my mantra song. Yeah,
and I love that song. The message in it is
(09:37):
so dark, but it's so catchy, which is Peyton darkness,
but make it catchy.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I like that a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Fantastic nine Days sings that song. Huh.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
All right, well, I guess I'm learning every.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Day unless I'm singing the wrong song to you.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Courtney wants to know you have mentioned a couple times
about where in eighteen hour days, just wondering how you
can do that and function okay the next day. How
do you remember lines and not look half dead when
you've only had four.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
To five hours of sleep?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Or do they give you a day off after a
long day, or they don't.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
No, they don't.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I mean sometimes if you work a solid chunk of
like three long days in a row, they'll have shot
all your stuff out.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
But not usually because even when you get a day off,
you have to come in for like fitting. Yeah, you
got to like go do all the dialogue fixes and
everything else.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
For cheerleading dance.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So you're usually working even if you have a quote
unquote day off. So the thing is, and this is
why you hear people talk about how, you know, crazy
the hours are, but also how hard it is to
have any sort of like routine or life this job.
Because let's say, like we would do on season one,
(11:03):
we would shoot in the gym at the high school
on Sundays because we had to be there when the
kids weren't actually there. So we'd usually go to work
on Sunday around four am, so we'd be ready by
six am and then you could shoot. Those were usually
eighteen hour days.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Because we knew we only had the gym for that
one day, so you had had to get everything.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
So if you went from six am to six pm
is twelve hours, and then you'd go.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
There's always overtime in travel, Yeah, you'd.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Go another six hours, so you'd go to midnight. You know,
they wouldn't check your travel time or your hair makeup time.
But if we'd wrap, if we'd shoot until midnight, that
meant that I think the earliest we could be back
at work the next day was like crew and stuff
is like eight am for setup. So let's say then
(11:56):
they say that your call time is ten am for shooting.
That means you are going to shoot until at least
ten pm or midnight that next day. So what happens
is every day gets later and later. So that's why
when you hear us talk about, especially in season one,
that term friturday when you shoot from like a Friday
into a Saturday morning. Our Saturdays were actually Fridays, so
(12:18):
we'd shoot from like six pm on Thursday night to
six am on Friday, and then we'd have to be
back at work at four am on Sunday. So they
give you a little bit of time. They can't bring
you into work, you know, four or five hours later.
That's actually against the law, but what it means is
because they have to turn you around, you go later
(12:41):
and later every single day, so you go from like
the crack of dawn shift to the graveyard shift every
week and then back, which is why none of us
have great memories. Everyone's like, I don't remember that, and
it's like, yeah, of course you don't, because you weren't
really sleeping.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
No, we're just going through the motions.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I will I will say it's not always an eighteen
hour day, but the shortest day you will ever have
on a film set is twelve hours. You'll never work
less than twelve hours. And I didn't realize until I,
you know, like left the world of TV, that other
people are like grossed out by that. They're like, what
(13:23):
twelve hour day? What? And it wasn't until Gus and
I just started talking about this because he pulled a
twelve hour day the other day and was still like,
still had more to do. And I was like, dude,
you're pulling film hours.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And he was like, yeah, I know, I'm in prep
right now. But when I become an actor, like I
just got to work on my like my spear and searching.
I was like, or you could just be fourteen, or you.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Don't have to do that, baby. Yeah, it's tricky, and
I think it's also really tricky because for the girls,
it's harder because your hair and makeup calls are so
much longer cause, oh my god, they have to match
your hair every single day, so you have to get
a blowout every single morning. So you are usually a
two hour pre call, so they have time to get
(14:09):
you in one you know, hair chair for forty five
minutes and the makeup chair for forty five minutes, and
then you can go and get changed and get wired,
and you know, make sure you've eaten something before you
get on set, because there's not time to eat on set.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And you're not supposed to eat in your wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You're sure not because if you're ruin it, you screw
up everybody else's day. And so like a twelve hour
day for set is never shorter than a fourteen hour
day for us, which is, you know, part of why
I think people really can struggle, like to feel like
(14:43):
they can maintain their life and relationships when they're working
on something like this, because you just live at work.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
We just really sold it, didn't we We made it
sound so fun.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I know, God, isn't that terrible? But the thing is,
I like to be honest with people because people you
know nearly, Like when people come to set or people
start doing this job, a lot of people have like
a culture shock and they don't handle it well. So
I don't know. I don't mean to like crush your dreams,
but I do want to tell you the truth.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
See, this might be that spicy brain thing I was
talking about earlier. I can't lie. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I love it about you.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
You know, there's some kid out there that was just
debating whether or not they wanted to go to college
and study like acting for film, and now they know
there are just some consequences involved.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, if you want to have a nine to five,
do something else. But if you still love it, you
can come play in the circus with us.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Here.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
We are here, we are okay. Speaking of of what
we do on these crazy days on set, Hannah says,
what activities did you guys like to do in between takes?
(16:06):
I'm an actress here in Sweden, so I know how
long the wait can sometimes be. It's easier to keep
busy on your phone, et cetera. But what did you
do back then?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh the dark ages?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, because we weren't doom scrolling all day. That's hilarious.
It is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I mean I will say like we had sidekicks.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, we sure did, Hillary, and I loved those. I
don't know, I don't feel like we would have that
much downtime unless we were doing like a big you know,
a gym or a concert or something where there was
so much time to do, like different setups and turnarounds.
We were a well oiled machine man. We hustled through things.
(16:52):
I think, I don't know. We read a lot of books.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
We read a lot, didn't we a lot?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
We read. We slept.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I mean I would go back to my trailer and
sleep for fifteen minutes if I could. I was so
tired all the time because I also had a really
active social life outside of work, because I was so
traumatized at work that I made friends with so many
other people in Wilmington. So I would just like live
(17:21):
to go be with them in my off hours.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
But then that meant I wasn't sleeping.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah. We really did kind of burn the candle at
both ends there.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
God, what a time to be live. Our twenties were incredible.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You were wow, we were so fun. Yeah, I mean
it was a lot of reading. I think, like honestly,
that is part of where I got so so into
my practice of reading so much news, because it started
to really frustrate me as somebody who does love to read,
Like the in and out in a book where you
get through read eight pages and then they're ready for
(17:55):
you again, started to get so frustrating to me that
I just I started like taking down our articles and
always carrying like the paper or whatever. So I think
that's part of where my obsession with the news came from,
because it almost felt easier for me to go article
by article in between setups. Makes sense. Soho, who was
(18:19):
knitting on our set? Well?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Joy and I knit. Yeah, it was crocheting and knitting, but.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
You were crocheting a lot. I feel like, yeah, you
were knitting too, weren't you.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I was knitting in season one and then I was like,
this is dumb.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I'm just gonna crochet because not only have one little
hook to worry about instead of two knitting needles that
I consistently lose.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, and it was easier, I.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Don't think as much because when you knit, you know,
you like knit a row, you purl ando you you
know whatever, back and forth.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
You have to remember the pattern.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
And that's too much to keep track of when you're
constantly getting interrupted. Yeah, I was always like, wow, look
at them making stuff that they can hold. I know,
rite a bunch of random facts about the economic crash
in Iceland in the nineties, Like what am I doing?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Hey, that's valuable too.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Some somewhere when I go on Jeopardy someday.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, that'll be my God. Have you done Celebrity Jeopardy?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I haven't, but I may or may not have just
been asked to what.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Oh, I'm gonna flip out, so we'll see. Are you
allowed to have a cheerleading section?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I will? I will put it in my rider. Do
we get those or are those just from musicians?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
No, I've got I'm coming all right.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Samantha wants to know is there anything that your character
wore or used in the show that belonged to you
in real life?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
M h give it.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'll give you mine. You'll love this because we love
Jesse and Edge Verge so much. When we were doing
the series finale, I went in and got one of
her North Carolina silhouette necklaces with the enamel on it,
and I wore it in the episode and I bought
it and was so excited about it ahead of time,
(20:03):
and I was like, I really really want to wear this,
like I always want the image of this place on
me for the end of this job. And in that episode,
Austin's directing a project, Julian's like making a TV show,
and so he asked Carol, our wardrobe supervisor, to have
that exact same cut out of the state embroidered on
(20:25):
his hat. And so Julian's director's hat has it on
it too. Cute, so it like that necklace. Really, it
really gave us like an iconography for the last episode.
And I still have it. I have it like up.
It just hangs on like a little thing in my closet.
I love it.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
That.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, it's really cute.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It's really sweet.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
I had a lot of I had all of Peyton's
cowboy boots.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Those are all mine.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
And then in season five there's some very holy jeans.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's five into six, there's some genes.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
That are just torn to shit, and those are personal genes.
It was like, yeah, girl, because like jeans that someone
else buys you are not the same as the genes
that you buy yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
And I loved our costume designer so much, and she
just any time I would wear something to work, Carol
would be like, hey, can we just have that?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, let's just do this, Let's put you in that.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
So yeah, all the roughnecks was mine. I think we
have time for one last question, Baby.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh this is interesting, Anne asks, I've noticed that the
music seemed to change after Peyton and Lucas left Treoll.
Did Hillary have any input as to the type of
music Peyton listen to and played in her scenes or
did they just bring in a different music coordinator?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Did it change?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I don't know. It's actually really interesting. I've never thought
about it in that way because I think the music
industry in general was going through a shift. Yeah, in
two thousand and nine, like sounds were changing, things were shifting.
But I don't I don't know. I mean, I I
(22:21):
assumed we still had the same team putting our music together.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
But what you're saying is that it was cooler when
I was there.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well obviously always, but yeah, I like, I don't know
if maybe he decided he I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Know, maybe he wasn't spending money on it anymore, you know,
what I mean, Like, we were definitely spending money on
it when I was there, and I know that money
was like a big conversation for all the different departments.
Our writers have spoken about it, you know, we've spoken
about it. And so anytime you cut money from one
department and it goes into someone else's pocket, you know
(23:01):
who knows. But it costs money to have great music
on a show. And we were so lucky working with
Warner Brothers because they had a record label that we
could always just kind of tap into. So I can't
speak for what happened after I left, but I do
know that being someplace like Warner Brothers and having access
to great artists was a part of the job that
(23:23):
I particularly enjoyed. Like it was cool to be a
VJ and then essentially just get to be a VJ
on our show.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, that was amazing. Well, clearly your musical taste was missed,
not just by me, but by Anne and everyone else.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Well, Anne, I appreciate you. I appreciate all of these questions.
They were very good questions, good questions. Yeah, into it.
So you guys join us next week as always, drama queens,
We're going to bring you some drama and some flavor
and hopefully some sick tunes.
Speaker 3 (24:00):

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Qna, it's not for Quna.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We need a jingle questions. I know, what a funny
thing for us to be trying to figure out what
the jingle is without our resident musician today.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, it's her assignment. I know a Q and A song.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Joy's taking Maria to camp, so she's not here today,
but as a former camper and permanent forever in my council,
I love camp so much. She was so apologetic about
missing this Q and A and I was like, go
go to camp for all of us.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, no one loves camp more than you do.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
You in a clipboard and activities and an a gender soul,
Oh girl advisor.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's a dream wife for me really. But I am
excited about today because we got like, we got real
good questions today. These these make me feel excited.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
You're good because you look at them beforehand. I get
here and I see them as we go, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Like, oh, I should have thought about this.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I mean honestly, I just read them while we were
getting our recordings going.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Oh okay, I feel better.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know, I didn't look at these in advance. I
like to be spontaneously inspired. But while we figured out, like,
you know, the technical side of this job we do,
I did peruse and I like them.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
It's responsible for you to admit that, baby, thank you. Yeah,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It's actually really funny because, like I don't know, as
an adult, learning that not everyone is like honest to
a fault. I'm like, huh, what's that like to just
hold things back?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's interesting imagine if you're just like, yes, well I
am imagineable one of the two of us.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And what was really funny was a friend of mine
was like, well, you know, like you got diagnosed with
adult ADHD, which makes your whole childhood make sense, but like,
you know, a lot of women who have that are
also like gently autistic. Do you think maybe that's why
you have such a truth complex? And I was like, huh,
I haven't examined that with my therapist quite enough yet,
but I do. I do have a lot of like
(02:20):
interesting things I do to self soothe. So maybe I
don't know. I'm open. They didn't they didn't check us out.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
They just put us at the bad kid desk when
we were little.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
They told us we were misbehaving.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, no, we weren't. All right.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well, we have a question here from Jason. I wonder
if he's naughty like we are. Jason, many years after
this show ended, he says, do you think you could
jump back into your character if you had to shoot
an episode next month? If so, how easy or hard
would it be? And what do you think you would
have to do to prepare for it? Jason, That's an
(02:55):
amazing question.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
This is such a good question.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I mean I could go to where tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I think I could too.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, and I I haven't acted in a long time,
but Peyton is just like, I don't know, those are.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Our girls, Peyton Brook are our girls.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah. I think that I could go to work like
tomorrow very easily. And then part of me goes, but wait,
would I be Would I feel scared if I didn't
prepare like I feel like Brooke and Peyton are in
us so much that we could snap right back in.
But it's also really been a long time. So suddenly
(03:34):
I'm going, well, maybe there's like three or four episodes
from the more recent years or I guess the latter
years in the show that I would want to just
rewatch just to be like, hold on, let me let
me hear it, let me hear the cadence of not
just my voice but yours and Daphne's and you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, wait, which three episodes would you watch? What are
your prep episodes?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Gosh, I don't know. I I feel like I would
want I feel like I would probably want to rewatch
your wedding episode. I think I would want to rewatch
I don't know what episode it is. This is so silly,
(04:19):
but there's one from season seven that I remember Lisa
and I being so fun In and Austin and I
had really sweet stuff and I just something happens at
the store. I just remember I had this cute little
like black and tan corset and a pencil skirt. I
loved it fit that day, And I'm like, I want
to watch that episode. I think that one was good
(04:40):
and i'd probably want to watch. I'd probably want to
watch like the end of season eight.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Now it's getting fuzzy because I haven't actually seen these yet,
so I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
No, that's a that's important. I mean the prep matters.
I think. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I don't I don't love acting anymore, but I love Peyton,
and I think the idea of revisiting her and Brooke
and everyone else is very attractive to me. Yeah, that
feels like it's not work. It feels like it's like
a cool hang.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, it's weird because had you asked me that question
before we started this podcast, i'd be like, I'm not
doing that. But it is so interesting how doing this
show has made me fall back in love or like
maybe really truly in love for the first time with
our show, and now I'm like, oh my god, I
(05:42):
want to do I want to do an episode of
our show from this feeling.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, same, same, from this centered space.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I just feel so proud. I feel so much ownership
of it. I really feel I feel like we made
something really special, and I'm like, oh, it'd be so
cool to like, you know, parallel universe and make an
episode from this place and see how it well.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
And now that we've gotten to say out loud how
much of the characters were based on us, whether it
was the good stuff or the trauma, it feels like
now I can say I really like Peyton Sawyer, I
really like that Davis.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I really like all the characters on our show. I
like those people.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
So anytime you get a script for something, there's so
many variables, and it's scary because you don't know what
other actors are going to get cast. You don't know
if the producers are dicks. You know, you don't know
if the editor is going to be good or bad,
and how the result will look, you know, like you'd.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Have no control over all of that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
But what I can say is I think there's enough
in the world of Tree Hill that I can feel
pretty safe going back and having like a great time.
Let's just what happens if we just go back to
Wilmington tomorrow and just show up at screen gems Well
say hey, guys, we're here.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We know what we should do. Remember, during the pandemic,
all sorts of people started doing those live table reads
of like classic movies for charity, we should go to
Thallion Hall and like do a live theater night and
and like do a table read performance of one of
(07:25):
our favorite episodes.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, I'd even read some fan fiction.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Wild okay, wild, Okay, fine, great, Jason, Yes, we'll be
back at work shortly.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Thank you so much for asking.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Okay. Tony wants to know if you could assign a
song to each of your characters to describe them. What
would it be and why? Example, to me, Peyton is
the song absolutely story of a Girl by nine Days?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Really? Is it awful that I don't know that song?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
This is a girl? Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Never mind, I do know that song.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Is she Cried a River and drom the whole world?
That feels right for Peyton. Actually, it's a really good call.
Are you making fun of me?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
What's your song? What's your book? Days?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't have any idea why this just came to mind,
but we are family. Maybe because that's just like my
song for us, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah, I got all my sisters, mab.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, that feels really fun. I guess subconsciously that comes
up for me because we talk so much about how
it's actually the female friendships that are the greatest love
story of our show. And I love that so much.
And I love redefining like the great love story of
your life. And yeah, maybe that's why my subconscious is
(09:04):
like your family. I'm into that.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So I listened to the same song the whole time
I was there.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It was.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Mad World Tears for Fears because it was from the
Donnie Darko soundtrack, right, and there was something so Donnie
Darko about Peyton Sawyer, just like nothing makes sense, everything's
so awful. That was kind of my mantra song. Yeah,
and I love that song. The message in it is
(09:37):
so dark, but it's so catchy, which is Peyton darkness,
but make it catchy.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I like that a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Fantastic nine Days sings that song. Huh.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
All right, well, I guess I'm learning every.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Day unless I'm singing the wrong song to you.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Courtney wants to know you have mentioned a couple times
about where in eighteen hour days, just wondering how you
can do that and function okay the next day. How
do you remember lines and not look half dead when
you've only had four.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
To five hours of sleep?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Or do they give you a day off after a
long day, or they don't.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
No, they don't.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I mean sometimes if you work a solid chunk of
like three long days in a row, they'll have shot
all your stuff out.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
But not usually because even when you get a day off,
you have to come in for like fitting. Yeah, you
got to like go do all the dialogue fixes and
everything else.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
For cheerleading dance.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So you're usually working even if you have a quote
unquote day off. So the thing is, and this is
why you hear people talk about how, you know, crazy
the hours are, but also how hard it is to
have any sort of like routine or life this job.
Because let's say, like we would do on season one,
(11:03):
we would shoot in the gym at the high school
on Sundays because we had to be there when the
kids weren't actually there. So we'd usually go to work
on Sunday around four am, so we'd be ready by
six am and then you could shoot. Those were usually
eighteen hour days.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Because we knew we only had the gym for that
one day, so you had had to get everything.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
So if you went from six am to six pm
is twelve hours, and then you'd go.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
There's always overtime in travel, Yeah, you'd.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Go another six hours, so you'd go to midnight. You know,
they wouldn't check your travel time or your hair makeup time.
But if we'd wrap, if we'd shoot until midnight, that
meant that I think the earliest we could be back
at work the next day was like crew and stuff
is like eight am for setup. So let's say then
(11:56):
they say that your call time is ten am for shooting.
That means you are going to shoot until at least
ten pm or midnight that next day. So what happens
is every day gets later and later. So that's why
when you hear us talk about, especially in season one,
that term friturday when you shoot from like a Friday
into a Saturday morning. Our Saturdays were actually Fridays, so
(12:18):
we'd shoot from like six pm on Thursday night to
six am on Friday, and then we'd have to be
back at work at four am on Sunday. So they
give you a little bit of time. They can't bring
you into work, you know, four or five hours later.
That's actually against the law, but what it means is
because they have to turn you around, you go later
(12:41):
and later every single day, so you go from like
the crack of dawn shift to the graveyard shift every
week and then back, which is why none of us
have great memories. Everyone's like, I don't remember that, and
it's like, yeah, of course you don't, because you weren't
really sleeping.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
No, we're just going through the motions.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I will I will say it's not always an eighteen
hour day, but the shortest day you will ever have
on a film set is twelve hours. You'll never work
less than twelve hours. And I didn't realize until I,
you know, like left the world of TV, that other
people are like grossed out by that. They're like, what
(13:23):
twelve hour day? What? And it wasn't until Gus and
I just started talking about this because he pulled a
twelve hour day the other day and was still like,
still had more to do. And I was like, dude,
you're pulling film hours.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And he was like, yeah, I know, I'm in prep
right now. But when I become an actor, like I
just got to work on my like my spear and searching.
I was like, or you could just be fourteen, or you.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Don't have to do that, baby. Yeah, it's tricky, and
I think it's also really tricky because for the girls,
it's harder because your hair and makeup calls are so
much longer cause, oh my god, they have to match
your hair every single day, so you have to get
a blowout every single morning. So you are usually a
two hour pre call, so they have time to get
(14:09):
you in one you know, hair chair for forty five
minutes and the makeup chair for forty five minutes, and
then you can go and get changed and get wired,
and you know, make sure you've eaten something before you
get on set, because there's not time to eat on set.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And you're not supposed to eat in your wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You're sure not because if you're ruin it, you screw
up everybody else's day. And so like a twelve hour
day for set is never shorter than a fourteen hour
day for us, which is, you know, part of why
I think people really can struggle, like to feel like
(14:43):
they can maintain their life and relationships when they're working
on something like this, because you just live at work.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
We just really sold it, didn't we We made it
sound so fun.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I know, God, isn't that terrible? But the thing is,
I like to be honest with people because people you
know nearly, Like when people come to set or people
start doing this job, a lot of people have like
a culture shock and they don't handle it well. So
I don't know. I don't mean to like crush your dreams,
but I do want to tell you the truth.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
See, this might be that spicy brain thing I was
talking about earlier. I can't lie. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I love it about you.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
You know, there's some kid out there that was just
debating whether or not they wanted to go to college
and study like acting for film, and now they know
there are just some consequences involved.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, if you want to have a nine to five,
do something else. But if you still love it, you
can come play in the circus with us.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Here.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
We are here, we are okay. Speaking of of what
we do on these crazy days on set, Hannah says,
what activities did you guys like to do in between takes?
(16:06):
I'm an actress here in Sweden, so I know how
long the wait can sometimes be. It's easier to keep
busy on your phone, et cetera. But what did you
do back then?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh the dark ages?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, because we weren't doom scrolling all day. That's hilarious.
It is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I mean I will say like we had sidekicks.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, we sure did, Hillary, and I loved those. I
don't know, I don't feel like we would have that
much downtime unless we were doing like a big you know,
a gym or a concert or something where there was
so much time to do, like different setups and turnarounds.
We were a well oiled machine man. We hustled through things.
(16:52):
I think, I don't know. We read a lot of books.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
We read a lot, didn't we a lot?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
We read. We slept.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I mean I would go back to my trailer and
sleep for fifteen minutes if I could. I was so
tired all the time because I also had a really
active social life outside of work, because I was so
traumatized at work that I made friends with so many
other people in Wilmington. So I would just like live
(17:21):
to go be with them in my off hours.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
But then that meant I wasn't sleeping.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah. We really did kind of burn the candle at
both ends there.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
God, what a time to be live. Our twenties were incredible.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You were wow, we were so fun. Yeah, I mean
it was a lot of reading. I think, like honestly,
that is part of where I got so so into
my practice of reading so much news, because it started
to really frustrate me as somebody who does love to read,
Like the in and out in a book where you
get through read eight pages and then they're ready for
(17:55):
you again, started to get so frustrating to me that
I just I started like taking down our articles and
always carrying like the paper or whatever. So I think
that's part of where my obsession with the news came from,
because it almost felt easier for me to go article
by article in between setups. Makes sense. Soho, who was
(18:19):
knitting on our set? Well?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Joy and I knit. Yeah, it was crocheting and knitting, but.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
You were crocheting a lot. I feel like, yeah, you
were knitting too, weren't you.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I was knitting in season one and then I was like,
this is dumb.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I'm just gonna crochet because not only have one little
hook to worry about instead of two knitting needles that
I consistently lose.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, and it was easier, I.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Don't think as much because when you knit, you know,
you like knit a row, you purl ando you you
know whatever, back and forth.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
You have to remember the pattern.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
And that's too much to keep track of when you're
constantly getting interrupted. Yeah, I was always like, wow, look
at them making stuff that they can hold. I know,
rite a bunch of random facts about the economic crash
in Iceland in the nineties, Like what am I doing?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Hey, that's valuable too.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Some somewhere when I go on Jeopardy someday.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, that'll be my God. Have you done Celebrity Jeopardy?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I haven't, but I may or may not have just
been asked to what.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Oh, I'm gonna flip out, so we'll see. Are you
allowed to have a cheerleading section?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I will? I will put it in my rider. Do
we get those or are those just from musicians?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
No, I've got I'm coming all right.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Samantha wants to know is there anything that your character
wore or used in the show that belonged to you
in real life?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
M h give it.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'll give you mine. You'll love this because we love
Jesse and Edge Verge so much. When we were doing
the series finale, I went in and got one of
her North Carolina silhouette necklaces with the enamel on it,
and I wore it in the episode and I bought
it and was so excited about it ahead of time,
(20:03):
and I was like, I really really want to wear this,
like I always want the image of this place on
me for the end of this job. And in that episode,
Austin's directing a project, Julian's like making a TV show,
and so he asked Carol, our wardrobe supervisor, to have
that exact same cut out of the state embroidered on
(20:25):
his hat. And so Julian's director's hat has it on
it too. Cute, so it like that necklace. Really, it
really gave us like an iconography for the last episode.
And I still have it. I have it like up.
It just hangs on like a little thing in my closet.
I love it.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
That.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, it's really cute.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It's really sweet.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
I had a lot of I had all of Peyton's
cowboy boots.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Those are all mine.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
And then in season five there's some very holy jeans.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's five into six, there's some genes.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
That are just torn to shit, and those are personal genes.
It was like, yeah, girl, because like jeans that someone
else buys you are not the same as the genes
that you buy yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
And I loved our costume designer so much, and she
just any time I would wear something to work, Carol
would be like, hey, can we just have that?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, let's just do this, Let's put you in that.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
So yeah, all the roughnecks was mine. I think we
have time for one last question, Baby.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh this is interesting, Anne asks, I've noticed that the
music seemed to change after Peyton and Lucas left Treoll.
Did Hillary have any input as to the type of
music Peyton listen to and played in her scenes or
did they just bring in a different music coordinator?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Did it change?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I don't know. It's actually really interesting. I've never thought
about it in that way because I think the music
industry in general was going through a shift. Yeah, in
two thousand and nine, like sounds were changing, things were shifting.
But I don't I don't know. I mean, I I
(22:21):
assumed we still had the same team putting our music together.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
But what you're saying is that it was cooler when
I was there.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well obviously always, but yeah, I like, I don't know
if maybe he decided he I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Know, maybe he wasn't spending money on it anymore, you know,
what I mean, Like, we were definitely spending money on
it when I was there, and I know that money
was like a big conversation for all the different departments.
Our writers have spoken about it, you know, we've spoken
about it. And so anytime you cut money from one
department and it goes into someone else's pocket, you know
(23:01):
who knows. But it costs money to have great music
on a show. And we were so lucky working with
Warner Brothers because they had a record label that we
could always just kind of tap into. So I can't
speak for what happened after I left, but I do
know that being someplace like Warner Brothers and having access
to great artists was a part of the job that
(23:23):
I particularly enjoyed. Like it was cool to be a
VJ and then essentially just get to be a VJ
on our show.
