Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hi, everyone, welcome back. We have a Q and a
episode for you. You got me and Robert Buckley, the
effervescent ray of sunshine in his yellow jacket, Robert Buckley,
and we're excited to get going. Rob you want to
kick us off?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I do. I wanted to sort of jump in the
front of the line here though with a question of
my own will you allow it? I will allow it
very well. This one is from me to you. Have
you found over the course of doing the Drama Queen's
Podcast that the way that you watch the episodes and
take notes in preparation the podcast has changed, like, for example,
(01:03):
where you taking feverish notes at the beginning because you
didn't want to miss a thing, but now you're sort
of you're a senior in class and you can kind
of kick back a bit. Has what's that been like
for you?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yes, that is exactly what it was. I was furiously
writing the first probably six months that we recorded. I
wanted to make sure I got every detail I wanted to.
I was trying to catch themes of the episodes and
trying to remember things that were happening behind the scenes
and make notes to myself to that and yeah, and
(01:33):
then I think I kind of got into a groove
with it and started to figure out, Okay, it's more
of a just a conversation, and if something really strikes
me or hits me, I can trust myself to just
make a quick little note and that'll be an interesting
topic of conversation if it comes up, and I do so. Now,
my notes are usually I have topic, I write them topically,
(01:54):
so I've got each character in the episode, and then
I just write any notes I have regarded that character
storyline underneath those topics, and they're usually like two three words.
How do you How are you taking notes now that
you're a brand new drama queen drama king.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Well, this is why I'm asking, because I always approach
everything with the I want to be the perfect student
so I have been taking notes like I am a
Jerry in a high profile case. Yeah, I am taking
such feverish notes. It looks like my note look looks
like the scratchings of a madman, because I'm just like
ferociously writing things down as quickly as I can. But
(02:35):
I am also doing that going I am in doing
notes like this, I am short changing myself a bit
of the experience of just sitting back and enjoying the
continuous flow of an episode.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yes, so you can pull more out of it if
you just are sitting back and enjoying. But if you
totally relax and enjoy I mean maybe not for you,
but for me, it'll be over and then I forget everything.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yes, I tend to do extreme. So right now I'm
on the extreme of I want to be perfect and
not miss a single thing. And I'm sure somewhere between
that and I'll just watch it and I'll remember it,
you know, las Fair or whatever. We'll get there. Okay,
enough of me, Emily, our listener, Emily has a wonderful question.
Austin Nichols starred in Holiday in the Sun with Mary
(03:25):
Kate and Ashley who Oh, which is truly iconic. Yeah,
I had the same reaction, and I watch it regularly
with friends. That was Emily saying that, not me. If
you could choose to cast yourself in a timeless teen
movie from the nineties or early two thousands, which one
would you choose and which character would you have wanted
to play?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh, that's so good.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
This is a great question.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
What a good question. Oh my gosh, timeless teen movie
from nineties to early adds.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I think I have one.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Okay, I have one.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Two go Okay, she's all that because when I watched
she all that specific. Yeah. No, only was Freddy Prince
Junior so cool, but he also was a good guy.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
But there is a scene where he goes to a
sort of a theater show that she wants him to go,
and she coaxes him up on stage. Yes, and he'd
he Hacky Sacks while talking, he's kind of like waxing poetic.
And I just remember being in a movie theater because
I grew up playing soccer going not realizing how insert
shots work, but going, Freddy Prince Junior can Hacky Sacks
(04:30):
so well?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
He's so cool.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Besides the fact he gets the girl at the end
and she's pretty when she takes off her glasses and
lets her hair down. Just the fact that he was
a good, hacky sacker and he seemed really cool in school.
I remember thinking, I want to be that guy.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You would have been great in that movie in that
part too, you really would have. I think you would
have been so dreamy and fun to watch. I would
have put your picture up out of teen Beat on
my wall when I was a little girl. If I
watched you in that movie, you would have been great.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Are you listening, Hollywood? How about you? What's your movie?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Ten Things I Hate about You? That movie was everything
when I was because I was obsessed with Shakespeare. Obviously
it's not all in Shakespeare. And although I guess I
could also say Romeo and Juliet, I really would have
loved to do that one, but I was younger. I
think I would have been too young at the time.
I was probably fifteen when it came out. But yeah,
(05:30):
ten Things I Hate about You. I actually auditioned for
alex olin X part is that her name alexis Olina,
maybe the one who played her younger sister, but I
think Julie and I are the same age. But I
would have wanted to play the Julia Styles part, the
cat part. Yeah, come on, like opposite Heath Ledger and
been able to be this uptight girl who sort of
(05:55):
relaxes into herself. I think it's great. It's a fun part.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You've seen this movie Holiday in the Sun Never, Yeah,
well I got I add that to my cue because
I haven't seen it either. But Austin's great, so and
let's be honest, The Olsen Twins come on. Oh, I
don't ever miss a movie.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Did I ever tell you about when I got I
got mistaken for the Olsen Twins? But like I mean,
people tell me all the time like which we know,
like oh like are you Mary Kate or whatever? And
more so. But when the show was on, I was
in the audience at a Broadway show and this girl
walks up to me and she's like, oh my gosh,
can I get your autograph? And when tree Hill was
on the air, so I was like, oh sure, and
(06:36):
I signed her program and I had to back to
her and she goes, which one are you?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Like what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Which one are you? Or are you Mary Kate? Or
are you Ashley? Sorry I can't tell the difference. I
was like I'm Mary Kate.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yay, good for you. She's gonna go back and show
her mom and goes. She spells her name so differently
than I would have expected.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So funny. Okay, listen. Ariel wants to know if you
started your own reality show, what would it be about
and who would you have in the show.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Oh, well, I have a quick answer for this one.
It would It would just follow Jenny and I. Jenny
is being my wife because we just we just make
each other laugh a lot, and we're very irreverent and
we're also too exhausted, tapped out parents, and so we
just we kind of constantly say, I feel like this
(07:30):
would just be funny for people to watch this happen. Yeah,
I think it would be funny.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, I could see that. I can buy that.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
How about you?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh my gosh, I think honestly watching middle school productions,
like middle school plays get put on. Now that my
daughter is she's going into eighth grade, but I've been
watching how these how these things go, and all of
the characters, like all the moms and the high schoolers
(08:04):
that come in to help out, and the personality dynamics
of all the different people that weigh in on and
that you know, there's always it's like the waiting for Guffman,
Like there's always the people that take it really seriously,
and then there's people who just do not care at all.
But they're the ones that are moving the set pieces
around and they're just standing backstage while the you know,
the set, the lights have gone out, the house is full,
(08:25):
the sets need to be changed, and they're on their
phone just like standing in the corner talking and to
their girlfriend and like scrolling through and forgetting that they
have to be out on stage moving furniture. It's so great.
I feel like that would just be really fun to
watch all that drama unfolds.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I also think you would be fantastic as a judge
on a cooking show. I want that job because you
are very good in the kitchen. You know how to cook,
you know how to bake, and I think you are funny.
You are very honest. You have this wonderful blend of
it's almost like European honesty, but like southern genteel hospitality.
(09:03):
So I would love just to hear like I would
love to listen to you talk about a bad dish.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Thanks, Rob oh Man, I do I would love that job.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Emily asks, if the world collapse in a walking dead
kind of way, how would you do? Do you immediately
build a new city? Do you fight and kill others
to get stuff? Especially Robert? How would you survive without
all the food? What's your survival plan?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
All of the foods?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Thank you Emily for acknowledging the fact that food is
in fact the most important thing to me. How would
I do? I mean, listen, what's my survival plan?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Zombie apocalypse survival plan?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Go. I would become a jesture of sorts. I would
just be there to cheer people up and to hopefully
get food from whoever had it. I would be the
irreverent guy, you know, because listen, it's already apocalypse. We
need someone to lighten the mood. Okay, so I'm the
guy who comes in just riffing about nonsense and then
(10:17):
asking for a hot pocket.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Let's just we'd start a troop because I would sing
and you could do the stand up, and we would
just have a little troop. We could go around find
a few other fun artists who just want to, you know,
make everybody happy for ten minutes in their zombie infested lives.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, we don't want your gasoline or you know, or
anything else. We just want to entertain you and make
your life sand for snacks and then just give us
some hot pockets and pop tarts and we're at it here,
sign me up. I would do terribly. In short, I
would do terribly.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
No, we'd survive. I think we'd survive because even the
zombies would have to take pity on us. Sarah wants
to know if for any reason, you couldn't act now,
with all of your life experience, what would you like
to do. You want to work another job, coach, teach,
become an accountant, Oh god, no, I would never be
good at that. Or just retire and enjoy life.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
That's such a good question, Sarah lovely. If I couldn't act,
I came from consulting and it was soul crushing. I've thought,
when times have gotten slow in this industry, I've started
to play that game with myself of Okay, what's my
pivot here do I have? And teaching is a pleasant one.
(11:33):
I think teaching in theory sounds great. I don't know.
I don't know how I would do with teaching in reality,
but the idea of teaching sounds nice to me. I
think teaching is far harder than my brain sort of
romanticizes it to be.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, because it's not just giving a lecture. You actually
have to get to know the students, invest in their lives.
I mean, I'm sure it's incredibly enrich in so many
personal ways, but it's not just being a guest lecturer
that goes in and out. You're really invested.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah. And I had a friend who was a teacher,
and she said the hardest part of her job was
dealing with the parents of the students. And I had
never even thought about that. That you have thirty sets
of parents who want to give you notes or give
you feedback, and I would imagine that that gets pretty trying.
So what we're saying teachers out there is that we
appreciate you. You're doing a heck of a job.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I would you know. I have to say, since I
started working on my book, I've always written. I started
writing novels when I was twelve, and scripts and songs,
and I've always been writing, but have always kept everything
really tucked away. And this is not the first book
I've wanted to write, but it is and since I
(12:52):
started working on it, I've realized how much I really
love writing. Always wanted to just write novels and murder
mysteries and create stories. So to write a story of
my own on my own about my own life has
been a really nice way to introduce me to the
(13:17):
structure and the timelines and learning how to edit myself
and all those things. I've learned so so much, And honestly,
I really really believe if I wasn't acting, and even
if I continue to act, that'll be a major part
of my life. I would love to just be a
lady in a cabin that writes books.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I would love it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Erica writes in aside from you guys on the podcast,
who do you keep up with and text the most
from the cast?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Ah, Paul Johansson for me, I mean he's he's my bff,
Ride or die like love that guy.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Funny enough, Paul Johansson is the one I have most
recently spoken with.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Really.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I text him after he was on last season just
to say, hey, man, it was so good to listen
to your episode. I miss yet I hope you're great.
And then so he called me back and we spoke
like two days ago and just had a lovely catch up.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, he's great, such a wealth of knowledge. He's so interesting.
He's been through so much and seen so much and
has so many opinions and is also so curious and
open to changing his mind. He's just a really good
quality person. Love that guy.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
And you know who else? Lately I've gotten very close
to who Tyler Hilton.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yes, it all started. I started on the drama Queen's
tour when we were hanging out.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Had you guys never met before then?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
We had crossed paths, but sort of like at conventions
where it's oh, hey, you were on those show too,
And I'm sure we met each other on the show,
but we had always sort of been ships in the night.
And then I remember after the first show we did
on the road, he and I were in a taxi,
I think going back to the hotel or something, and truly,
I remember in my heart feeling, this guy is supposed
(15:19):
to be in my life. This is a friend. And
I even said it out loud, and we have, We've
gotten really close, and so I talked with Tyler almost
every day.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Do you really?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, We're like it's great. He introduced me to voice notes.
So sometimes we both wear nightguards when we sleep, so
it'll just be one of us, Hey, nightguard crew. Just
hope you had a great day, buddy, I love you.
Or it's like we just shoot text or voice notes
throughout the day, or we'll talk.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
It's great because we're both dads.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
We both have a lot of things in common, and
it's just he's another guy who is my brand where
it's like big, open heart feelings, funny.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
He's lovely, built in support system. That's so important to
have a support system like that, especially when you're a
new parent. But I could see that, I really see
the similarities in you guys, and how you can complement
each other. You're both so intelligent and quick, but really,
(16:18):
as you say, open hearted and kind hearted, and you
both give people the benefit of the doubt. And I
feel like you look at the world through this kind
of cock eyed, interesting lens. So I'm sure there's plenty
for you, plenty of fodder for comedy and conversation between
you both. And you're really loyal and loving to the
people in your lives.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But there's a three.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I mean, there's a lot of people in the world
who bear those characteristics but there's a through line of
similarity in the way that you behave that I can
see that. I'm so happy that you're really close friends.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, right, thank you, One Tree hill Ah.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Just keeps giving and giving and giving.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It does. All of our reunions are not unions, but
the unions. But the conventions are great like that, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, I've been falling more and more in love with them.
I think at first I was it was just weird.
It's weird to go back to a place where, I mean,
you remember this. It's like we would do these conventions
within two years of the show ending, and it was like,
I don't I mean, I don't know. I just felt
awkward about it. I didn't know how I was supposed
to feel about it. And once I let that go
(17:21):
and stopped worrying, how are you supposed to feel about this?
What am I supposed to do with this? What's the
appropriate way to behave? How should we? I just let
all that stuff go. And I would say, in the
last like five years, the more we've done these, the
more I've just really enjoyed showing up to see my
friends and to see all these amazing people who turn
up for us, the way that you fans right now
(17:42):
listeners turn up to listen to our show. The fact
that you guys continue to book plane tickets and come
out and give your time and get to know each
other and build relationships around something that we built so
long ago. It's just amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, and for anyone who wonders, like do we still
get along or come to a convention and just watch
because it's it's so much love and smiles the whole time.
You know, everyone liked same as you. I love going
to them now because I walk into the green room
and it's like hi, friends, Yeah, you know, and whoever
I'm doing a picture with, it's like, I haven't seen
you in a while? What's it's Typically the photographer is like,
(18:22):
hey guys, guys, can you stop talking for a second,
we need to take photos. We're like, oh, that's right,
we are actually totally having to do something here. But
but yeah, it's it's turned into such a cool thing.
I like you, I didn't really know what my relationship
with conventions was it first, and now I'm like, these
are it's like a two day trip to summer camp.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Totally, yes, and we all go to dinner afterwards. That's
so great. Well, friends, thanks for listening to this Q

(05:55):
relaxes into herself. I think it's great. It's a fun part.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You've seen this movie Holiday in the Sun Never, Yeah,
well I got I add that to my cue because
I haven't seen it either. But Austin's great, so and
let's be honest, The Olsen Twins come on. Oh, I
don't ever miss a movie.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Did I ever tell you about when I got I
got mistaken for the Olsen Twins? But like I mean,
people tell me all the time like which we know,
like oh like are you Mary Kate or whatever? And
more so. But when the show was on, I was
in the audience at a Broadway show and this girl
walks up to me and she's like, oh my gosh,
can I get your autograph? And when tree Hill was
on the air, so I was like, oh sure, and
(06:36):
I signed her program and I had to back to
her and she goes, which one are you?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Like what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Which one are you? Or are you Mary Kate? Or
are you Ashley? Sorry I can't tell the difference. I
was like I'm Mary Kate.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yay, good for you. She's gonna go back and show
her mom and goes. She spells her name so differently
than I would have expected.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So funny. Okay, listen. Ariel wants to know if you
started your own reality show, what would it be about
and who would you have in the show.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Oh, well, I have a quick answer for this one.
It would It would just follow Jenny and I. Jenny
is being my wife because we just we just make
each other laugh a lot, and we're very irreverent and
we're also too exhausted, tapped out parents, and so we
just we kind of constantly say, I feel like this
(07:30):
would just be funny for people to watch this happen. Yeah,
I think it would be funny.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, I could see that. I can buy that.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
How about you?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh my gosh, I think honestly watching middle school productions,
like middle school plays get put on. Now that my
daughter is she's going into eighth grade, but I've been
watching how these how these things go, and all of
the characters, like all the moms and the high schoolers
(08:04):
that come in to help out, and the personality dynamics
of all the different people that weigh in on and
that you know, there's always it's like the waiting for Guffman,
Like there's always the people that take it really seriously,
and then there's people who just do not care at all.
But they're the ones that are moving the set pieces
around and they're just standing backstage while the you know,
the set, the lights have gone out, the house is full,
(08:25):
the sets need to be changed, and they're on their
phone just like standing in the corner talking and to
their girlfriend and like scrolling through and forgetting that they
have to be out on stage moving furniture. It's so great.
I feel like that would just be really fun to
watch all that drama unfolds.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I also think you would be fantastic as a judge
on a cooking show. I want that job because you
are very good in the kitchen. You know how to cook,
you know how to bake, and I think you are funny.
You are very honest. You have this wonderful blend of
it's almost like European honesty, but like southern genteel hospitality.
(09:03):
So I would love just to hear like I would
love to listen to you talk about a bad dish.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Thanks, Rob oh Man, I do I would love that job.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Emily asks, if the world collapse in a walking dead
kind of way, how would you do? Do you immediately
build a new city? Do you fight and kill others
to get stuff? Especially Robert? How would you survive without
all the food? What's your survival plan?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
All of the foods?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Thank you Emily for acknowledging the fact that food is
in fact the most important thing to me. How would
I do? I mean, listen, what's my survival plan?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Zombie apocalypse survival plan?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Go. I would become a jesture of sorts. I would
just be there to cheer people up and to hopefully
get food from whoever had it. I would be the
irreverent guy, you know, because listen, it's already apocalypse. We
need someone to lighten the mood. Okay, so I'm the
guy who comes in just riffing about nonsense and then
(10:17):
asking for a hot pocket.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Let's just we'd start a troop because I would sing
and you could do the stand up, and we would
just have a little troop. We could go around find
a few other fun artists who just want to, you know,
make everybody happy for ten minutes in their zombie infested lives.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, we don't want your gasoline or you know, or
anything else. We just want to entertain you and make
your life sand for snacks and then just give us
some hot pockets and pop tarts and we're at it here,
sign me up. I would do terribly. In short, I
would do terribly.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
No, we'd survive. I think we'd survive because even the
zombies would have to take pity on us. Sarah wants
to know if for any reason, you couldn't act now,
with all of your life experience, what would you like
to do. You want to work another job, coach, teach,
become an accountant, Oh god, no, I would never be
good at that. Or just retire and enjoy life.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
That's such a good question, Sarah lovely. If I couldn't act,
I came from consulting and it was soul crushing. I've thought,
when times have gotten slow in this industry, I've started
to play that game with myself of Okay, what's my
pivot here do I have? And teaching is a pleasant one.
(11:33):
I think teaching in theory sounds great. I don't know.
I don't know how I would do with teaching in reality,
but the idea of teaching sounds nice to me. I
think teaching is far harder than my brain sort of
romanticizes it to be.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, because it's not just giving a lecture. You actually
have to get to know the students, invest in their lives.
I mean, I'm sure it's incredibly enrich in so many
personal ways, but it's not just being a guest lecturer
that goes in and out. You're really invested.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah. And I had a friend who was a teacher,
and she said the hardest part of her job was
dealing with the parents of the students. And I had
never even thought about that. That you have thirty sets
of parents who want to give you notes or give
you feedback, and I would imagine that that gets pretty trying.
So what we're saying teachers out there is that we
appreciate you. You're doing a heck of a job.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I would you know. I have to say, since I
started working on my book, I've always written. I started
writing novels when I was twelve, and scripts and songs,
and I've always been writing, but have always kept everything
really tucked away. And this is not the first book
I've wanted to write, but it is and since I
(12:52):
started working on it, I've realized how much I really
love writing. Always wanted to just write novels and murder
mysteries and create stories. So to write a story of
my own on my own about my own life has
been a really nice way to introduce me to the
(13:17):
structure and the timelines and learning how to edit myself
and all those things. I've learned so so much, And honestly,
I really really believe if I wasn't acting, and even
if I continue to act, that'll be a major part
of my life. I would love to just be a
lady in a cabin that writes books.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I would love it.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Erica writes in aside from you guys on the podcast,
who do you keep up with and text the most
from the cast?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Ah, Paul Johansson for me, I mean he's he's my bff,
Ride or die like love that guy.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Funny enough, Paul Johansson is the one I have most
recently spoken with.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Really.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I text him after he was on last season just
to say, hey, man, it was so good to listen
to your episode. I miss yet I hope you're great.
And then so he called me back and we spoke
like two days ago and just had a lovely catch up.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, he's great, such a wealth of knowledge. He's so interesting.
He's been through so much and seen so much and
has so many opinions and is also so curious and
open to changing his mind. He's just a really good
quality person. Love that guy.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
And you know who else? Lately I've gotten very close
to who Tyler Hilton.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yes, it all started. I started on the drama Queen's
tour when we were hanging out.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Had you guys never met before then?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
We had crossed paths, but sort of like at conventions
where it's oh, hey, you were on those show too,
And I'm sure we met each other on the show,
but we had always sort of been ships in the night.
And then I remember after the first show we did
on the road, he and I were in a taxi,
I think going back to the hotel or something, and truly,
I remember in my heart feeling, this guy is supposed
(15:19):
to be in my life. This is a friend. And
I even said it out loud, and we have, We've
gotten really close, and so I talked with Tyler almost
every day.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Do you really?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, We're like it's great. He introduced me to voice notes.
So sometimes we both wear nightguards when we sleep, so
it'll just be one of us, Hey, nightguard crew. Just
hope you had a great day, buddy, I love you.
Or it's like we just shoot text or voice notes
throughout the day, or we'll talk.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
It's great because we're both dads.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
We both have a lot of things in common, and
it's just he's another guy who is my brand where
it's like big, open heart feelings, funny.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
He's lovely, built in support system. That's so important to
have a support system like that, especially when you're a
new parent. But I could see that, I really see
the similarities in you guys, and how you can complement
each other. You're both so intelligent and quick, but really,
(16:18):
as you say, open hearted and kind hearted, and you
both give people the benefit of the doubt. And I
feel like you look at the world through this kind
of cock eyed, interesting lens. So I'm sure there's plenty
for you, plenty of fodder for comedy and conversation between
you both. And you're really loyal and loving to the
people in your lives.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But there's a three.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I mean, there's a lot of people in the world
who bear those characteristics but there's a through line of
similarity in the way that you behave that I can
see that. I'm so happy that you're really close friends.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, right, thank you, One Tree hill Ah.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Just keeps giving and giving and giving.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
It does. All of our reunions are not unions, but
the unions. But the conventions are great like that, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, I've been falling more and more in love with them.
I think at first I was it was just weird.
It's weird to go back to a place where, I mean,
you remember this. It's like we would do these conventions
within two years of the show ending, and it was like,
I don't I mean, I don't know. I just felt
awkward about it. I didn't know how I was supposed
to feel about it. And once I let that go
(17:21):
and stopped worrying, how are you supposed to feel about this?
What am I supposed to do with this? What's the
appropriate way to behave? How should we? I just let
all that stuff go. And I would say, in the
last like five years, the more we've done these, the
more I've just really enjoyed showing up to see my
friends and to see all these amazing people who turn
up for us, the way that you fans right now
(17:42):
listeners turn up to listen to our show. The fact
that you guys continue to book plane tickets and come
out and give your time and get to know each
other and build relationships around something that we built so
long ago. It's just amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, and for anyone who wonders, like do we still
get along or come to a convention and just watch
because it's it's so much love and smiles the whole time.
You know, everyone liked same as you. I love going
to them now because I walk into the green room
and it's like hi, friends, Yeah, you know, and whoever
I'm doing a picture with, it's like, I haven't seen
you in a while? What's it's Typically the photographer is like,
(18:22):
hey guys, guys, can you stop talking for a second,
we need to take photos. We're like, oh, that's right,
we are actually totally having to do something here. But
but yeah, it's it's turned into such a cool thing.
I like you, I didn't really know what my relationship
with conventions was it first, and now I'm like, these
are it's like a two day trip to summer camp.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Totally, yes, and we all go to dinner afterwards. That's
so great. Well, friends, thanks for listening to this Q
