Speaker 1 (00:00):
First of all, you don't know me.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
We all about that high school drama. Girl Drama, Girl,
all about them high school queens. We'll take you for
a ride, and our comic girl sharing for the right drama,
Queens of Girl Fashion.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
But your tough girl, you could sit with us Girl Drama,
Queens Drama, Queens Drama, Queens Drama, Drahn the Queens Drama Queens.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Hey, welcome back, everybody. You have Me and Q and
a what's shaken?

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Friends? We have good questions today.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
We do joy.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
This first one is definitely for you.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
If Thias asks, how was your experience working as a
TV mom with a real little baby.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
It was so fun. Rob has said this before.

Speaker 6 (00:50):
One of the great things about working with kids or
babies on a set is that they only can work
a certain amount of hours. So it's a really nice
guaranteed bill I'm starting with, you know, like the selfish
piece of it. You have this built in schedule where
you know you're going to be able to go home
at a certain time. So that's always really fun, especially

(01:12):
when we're working on a show like Montree Hill, which
was such a big cast and schedules were moving around
a lot and it was just hard for things to
be predictable. When you had a kid on a schedule,
you knew that was pretty locked in and it wasn't
going to get moved around, and.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah, that was nice.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
But also, it's so fun to hold babies. It's so nice,
so fun. Well, you get to work with some babies totally.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
I loved it.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
It was such a blast because one of the boys
who played one of my sons, was actually our first
ad Rick Clark's baby, and.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
The other baby.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Was the son of a nurse who worked at the
same hospital where Rick's baby was born, and so they
were born right around the same time. And they were
like these sweet little friends. And one of the things
I really loved was getting into a routine with them.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
And I found that especially.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
You know, when you're trying not just to keep one
kid calm and happy, but two. One of the things
we found was that, you know, as babies do, they
see their actual mom and that's the person they want.
So when we had the babies on set, I had
the bottles, I had the diapers. I was like I
was doing feeding and snacks and diaper changes and all
the things. Because the more we could keep their moms

(02:36):
out of their line of sight. The happier they were
to just hang out with all of us all.

Speaker 6 (02:40):
Yeah, and the more time we were able to spend
with them when the cameras weren't rolling too.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I feel like that really helped.

Speaker 6 (02:46):
We would go sit if you had a break, just
to go sit with the baby and their mom, so
that the babies got used to you. And it's not
just like totally showing up and handing a baby off
to somebody on set. That's just we rarely did that.
I feel like I usually got to meet the babies
ahead of time and sit with them a little bit. Yeah,
that was a nice thing.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Like even about our base camp, you know, to your point,
we'd break for lunch and like get our lunches and
go eat with the moms and the babies while they
were getting their time. So yeah, I think they got
really familiarized with all of us, and then it was
very sweet to essentially be their on screen parents but
like they're babysitters at work.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, it was so cute. It's Katie Okay.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
Court is asking if there was a real Housewives of
tree Hill, who would be the one stirring up the drama?

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Woo.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
I'm thinking, like, I mean, Deb definitely would be, but
maybe Deb would be the one that's sort of like
managing all the drama. She seems like she might. She's mischievous,
but she might have a good handle on it.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
I feel like Deb would be our good time girl.
She'd want to get everyone into trouble, but not arrested.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Trouble, not drama, right.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, exactly, fun trouble.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
And then I feel like al do pray, Oh yeah,
just wouldn't be able to help herself from starting drama.
But then but then would also want to fix it.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
Yeah, I think so too. I actually think this would
be a really fun little experiment the Real Housewives of
Tree Hill.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
It would be great. It would be so great.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Oh and Rachel.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Yeah, our producer just was like, hello, Rachel, excellent point,
because Rachel's the kind of person who's just going to
say it to your face. And I think that would
make for some great on screen cat fights.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah. Oh man, that would be so fun.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
I love it. Oh.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Victoria has a really good question because now we're, you know,
we're sort of in the technical stuff talking about the kids,
and she asks, what the crazy sort of hours you
work on a network show like One Tree Hill, I
always wanted to know how cast members managed to do
all the things expected of them for being quote unquote
camera ready, things like getting your haircut, getting your nails done,

(05:04):
going to the gym. Are you expected to find time
to do these outside of work or are these things
that are sorted for you on set.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Great question, a really good question.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Basically, there are things they will upkeep for you at work,
like getting your haircut or your hair colored. They will
do in the trailer. Usually they'll bring you in early,
or they'll have you stay really late after something to
do that. If you play a character that you know
per the writer is always supposed to have her nails done,
then they will bring someone in for that. But pretty

(05:39):
much everything that a normal person needs to do, like
if you just want to have a manicure because it
makes you feel good, or if you want to be
active go to the gym, if you need to get
your teeth cleaned, like you are on your own, and
they are not going to schedule around your needs whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
They're like, good luck to you. Figure it out.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
Well. Actually, I was curious about this for you so
on Chicago PD because that show is that there's an
athletic element to that work. Did they schedule gym time
for you and provide that or in a trainer and
all those things.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
No, No, not at all.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
We were meant to just we were meant to somehow
do like sixteen hours a day on our own show
and then work on the three other shows and then
also have time to exercise.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
And it was very difficult.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
I found that mostly if I could keep like a
phone roller in my trailer and just make sure that
I wasn't injuring myself permanently, that was kind of the
best of it. But it is weird when you do
a show like that because you get hurt. I remember
we did this thing out on the lake shore once,
and obviously we were running. I had to run after

(06:51):
people all the time, and I rolled my ankle really
bad and had to keep shooting that sequence.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
I had to keep running on it.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Oh, It's like, oh, I don't know how to do this.
I'm injured and we're not done with the scene. So
I just have to pretend not to be injured and keep.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
Going and like, oh, dear crazy what we train our
nervous systems to be okay with it's pretty nuts.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
And it's like I pure my labrum on that show
and they you know, there there was no time off.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
You know, they can't let you take time off.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
So even when I.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Had like a pretty bad neck and head injury from
a fall that hadn't been you know, shooting in the
snow can be really complicated, and something was supposed to
be safety and then wasn't, and we turned in a
direction that I think the crew wasn't prepared for. And anyway,
you know, it happens. And I had to go to
the hospital to get a cat scan and an MRI

(07:55):
because it was a really bad fall. And as soon
as they confirmed I didn't have a brain bleed, like
we know you have a concussion, but also we're wrapping
for Christmas break tomorrow, so you have to come back
to work and shoot four more scenes.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
And I was like, okay, I will try to do that.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
John Sata looking at me and being like, hey, turn,
I would just turn this way a little and I go, why,
what's going what?

Speaker 4 (08:20):
And he said, you're just you're just like a little
cross eyed. It'll go away.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Oh my god, what you thank you?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
John?

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Like he just had my back He's like, I'm so sorry.
We have to do this.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
Pretend to not be injured, injury, just pretend you're not
How do okay?

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, you kind of just have to. So yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
I will say I really I loved being a very
put together surgeon on Good Sam because I got to
have like pretty hair and pretty clothes, and they did
my nails for me every week at work, or I
guess every two and I was.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Like, wow, this is luxury baby.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
So nice.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
Okay, so well, talking about stunts and all this physical activity,
this is a question from Chris. Chris is asking if
you had to go on one of three shows, which
would you choose? Dancing with the Stars, Special Forces, or Survivor.
Those are all really strong options for different really shows.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
What would you do? I don't know.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
I'm struggling. I mean, I'm not a Survivor's not my thing.
I wouldn't enjoy that as much as maybe you would.
Dancing with the Stars would be so fun and right
up my alley because I grew up dancing, so I
feel like I could have a handle on that, But dang,
I really love the idea of going out and doing
some kind of serious athletic, not that dancing is not athletic.

(09:58):
But here's the thing about something like Special Forces. I
can't handle being put in a box with scorpions, Like,
that's not my thing.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Do you know what I mean? I will.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
I am really interested in doing actual athletic stunts, race
car driving, like working on blet on a side of
a mountain, like all those things interest me. But I'm
not interested in being buried alive.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
No, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (10:25):
So I'm like, I don't really it's I don't know
what to expect on shows, but what they.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
Do on Special Forces that that sounds more like fear
factor to me, which is a hard pass, right.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
But isn't there stuff in Special Forces where.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
They're like, we're going to drop you, we're going to
drown you, and we're gonna see if you can get out,
and you're I'm like, god, no, I don't see.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
That's a no for me.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
If that's what it is, then that comes off my list.
I was gonna say, Survivor is a no.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
I don't do it. I just like, don't do well hungry,
So that's a no immediate.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
But I think Special Forces would be really fun for
me because I I am such a tomboy and I
do love stunts. But and it's funny because years ago
they asked me to go do Dancing with the Stars
and I was just like, I'm not, I'm not like
in the space where that feels like a thing I
want to.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Do right now.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
And Julianne Huff is such a good friend of mine,
and watching her go from being on the show and
then obviously she was a judge for so many years,
and then to watch her start dancing on it again,
I'm like, wait, oh.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, I saw that last season. She ate that up.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
I mean, she's just I think she might be one
of the best dancers in the world. Yes, and she
is just so exceptional to watch, And I'm like, oh,
in my head, I think to myself, if I could
go to class and like learn to do what she does,
I would want to learn that skill. But then also
I feel like it's that thing where you know, you
buy a bikini because you saw a picture of it

(11:51):
looking so cute on Belahadide, and then you put it on.
And this is not to shame anyone or myself, but
you're like, oh, right, it's definitely not going.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
To look on me the way it looks on a
literal supermodel. Like I have a hunch that in my head.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
I would love to do Dancing with the Stars because
I would learn to be a badass like Julianne. But
I would probably not look anywhere close to that ever,
even on my best day, and I'd be like, right right,
I'm like, I'm a mere mortal, right, right right.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
I think you do great? It is It is hard, though,
Like I know what you're talking about. Where you see
something You're like, I could do that. I just give
me six weeks of training, give me four weeks. Second,
I'm good, and anything I could figure out in four
to six weeks, no problem.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Yeah, And then you're like, oh my my body literally
doesn't move that way.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Like my biggest fear is that I would get there
and all the things that I believe that I could
do that I knew I could when I was younger,
my body just wouldn't do it anymore, and I'd be
so disappointed with myself. Do you want to tell everyone
what's going on while you move your car?

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah? Okay, well this is so embarrassing.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
So I'm on a wild goose chase, right, now with
Dah and I've literally had to drive all over New
Jersey to try to figure it out. And I had
to go to a different office today. And here's where
the real comedy of this comes in. Yesterday I had
to go to FedEx to get new passport photos taken.

(13:19):
And so today when I went to the middle of
who knows where to go to this DHL warehouse, I
thought I clicked my address back into my phone, and
what I did was click the FedEx office I went
to yesterday.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
So I was like, guys, I'm going to be two
minutes late to our podcast. And then I was like,
I'm not home. I'm where am I? You landed?

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Not the destination you thought you were going.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Yeah, I just drove to a completely different part of town,
pulled over, and I'm doing this in my car.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
So you know, it's like we wear many hats.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
I love the cheery Jersey girl. Now that's pretty.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
I know, it's really sweet.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
My mom's whole family is so amped that I'm back.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
So great.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Ooh, Callie.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
If your character had a freaky Friday switch moment, which
OTCH character would you switch with?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
I mean, if I could do any switch, I'd want
to be.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Chris Keller for a day because Tyler is so ridiculous
in that role and also as himself is so musically
talented that I would love to get to be an
absolute emotional terror slash like award winning musician for a day.

Speaker 6 (14:38):
Yes, I might switch with Nathan actually just really yeah,
the feeling first of all, just to feel what it
is like to be in a dude's body would be
really interesting. But also like to play basketball the way
that James does or the way that you know Nathan does.
To really have that freedom to feel what that is like,

(15:02):
the sort of jumping and flying and you know, wrangling
grappling for this ball.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
I mean, I've never I'm just not an athletic, but
I never played team sports, so I don't really have
a sense of that. Man, that would be fun. Plus,
just for the Nathan Haley element of it, it would
be really cool. I think for both of them to
see what it's like a day in each other's shoes
would probably be useful.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah, that would be so neat.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
And I think even for you guys as actors, to
be in the psychology of the other actor that plays
your on screen partner would be so fun.

Speaker 6 (15:36):
Oh yeah, okay, Kristin, Kristin, I actually reached out to
the man himself to find out the answer to this question.
Your question is what song would Chris Keller sing at.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Taylor Swift's wedding? Kitty, I love this, So.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
I just reached out to Tyler and I told him
that you asked this question. He laughed and he said, well,
teardrops on my guitar obviously, or missing you. You know
he does this cover of missing you. Yeah, that's yeah,
of course that's what Chris Keller would sing to her.
Just a totally inappropriate song for a wedding.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Yeah, of course she's literally marrying this other man. You
don't have a chance.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
Okay, this is a fun pivot only because I've been
thinking about these a lot lately.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
You know.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
I feel like when you get to introduce kids to games,
you remember how fun they are. So Mary wants to
know what is your favorite board game or card game.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
I mean, I'm a chess player. I love it.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
I'm not great at it, but I really enjoy the
process of it. It's just fun chess board game. I
still like Clue, Love Clue.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
I still love Clue. Yeah, yeah, and oh, what's the
one with train? Is it trained Domino's Mexic and train Dominoes?

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Maybe? Oh, I don't know. Dominoes is something I've always
really wanted to learn.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
I know who could teach you.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
I was gonna say, I need to finally take Antoine
up on that offer. I feel the same way about chess.
It's something that's always been on my list, but also
something I just haven't gotten around to. Yeah, so I
feel like that would be a nice thing to do.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
What I like about chess is that it's quiet. It does.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
I mean, I guess all board games are, but you
really have to It's almost like playing solitaire. You just
happen to be with another person.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
It's not quick.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
There's just so much strategy involved that it's a really
nice way to spend quiet time in the presence of
another person without having to talk, which I like.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, it's a nice way to be together and it's
so good for your brain.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Yes, I have a few friends who've started a couple
of my friends on the West Coast, so sadly I
haven't been around for it, but who started playing majong
and are really into it, and I feel if that
is something we should get in the mix of joy.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
It feels like a very chic lady thing to do.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
And I also feel like, for whatever reason, you have
all the girls over from Majong, I feel like you
can dress up a little. I feel like you could
have a nice cocktail if you're very up our alley.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
I'm into this.

Speaker 6 (18:21):
I'm right, Yes, Bridge and Majong do these There's are
very old lady card games or tile games, but very
chic dotting. Yeah, some of the Majong tiles I've seen
are stunning. I mean, there are like designer sets right now.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
Absolutely, I'm I Also, this is how I know I'm
really leaning into board games right now.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
My algorithms on.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
Social media are serving me the designer backgammon boards, and
I want one desperately. But I'm also like, I'm not
going to pay thousands of dollars for a backgammon board.
I can't do that, like in good con functions and
in this economy. What are we talking about? But they're
so beautiful. They feel like art pieces.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Oh they are.

Speaker 6 (19:06):
I mean that's I think that's why they're being charges,
because they're interactive art. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
But you could also make one. Make some interactive art.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Would take a woodworking class.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
Find one at the Goodwill that you like, send it
to me. I will paint it and do fun things
with it and send it back to you, and then
you'll have a piece of art that you can interact with.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
That's fun. Thanks for your questions, everybody.
