Speaker 2 (00:26):
Hey, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
You've got joy and I Today Rob is out, but
we've got some good questions from the ladies, so it
kind of feels fun.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It's like a little girls.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Chat, it is, I know. Yeah, welcome to the club.
Cozy up. I hope you're ready.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Courtney asks, could you please tell us about the process
of making the opening song for the podcast. It makes
me smile every time I hear it.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Thank you all. I've loved listening every week. That's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
That's really sweet, Thanks Courtney. You know I was just
goofing around. I mean, who knows. There is no process.
It's just like ideas hit and you follow them down
a weird trail. And yeah, I wish I had a
specific process. I mean, I know I had once I
started writing the idea of it that I wanted to
(01:16):
be fun. I wanted to be short and just give
everybody a feeling of like good happy energy before they
we want before we launched into each episode, and I
remember sending you guys like a track and saying, can
you voice note in your phone a couple of these
lines that you iconic lines that you set on the show,
so we can incorporate that. Yeah, and we put it
(01:38):
together pretty fast. My friend Ron and Yellow, who spends
most of his time producing Bruce Springsteen's records, took a
break could beget to help the Drama Queens because he
loves us and I've worked with him for so long,
and so he also has just been around Wntree Hill
and it was really fun to rope him in. He
(01:58):
was my co composer the Notebook musical that I had
created with him, so it was really fun to sort
of bring that family dynamic back in.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I can't think of anything else.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I remember that was really fun. When we were thinking
about the nostalgia of the show and going back to
the early aughts and all the things that influenced us.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I remember some of our.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
References, like for what you were doing with the music,
for how we designed the photo shoot, you know, around materials,
and we were like, think, bring it on, think pep rallies.
You know, I found yes Julian's letterman jacket, and I think.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That like the cheer element, Yes, the.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Cheer element with the claps and the beat, I feel
like really built. And when you sent us the original
or I guess the working draft if you will, of
your track, we were like, yes, it feels like a
Pep rally, Like it feels like we're getting everybody together
for something.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Which is the feeling of the show. I mean, that
was that's when Hill you're at the high school, you're
at the pop rally for the game. Yeah, that's a
good point. Thanks for reminding me of that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
And I loved that we you know, got to work
with Kenny for the video. I loved that we got
to do a benefit for the kind campaign. Like the
whole thing just felt awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, that was that was great. Thanks Courtney. Okay, Nyc Flora,
you're asking. Okay, she says, I'm currently watching One Tree
Hill for the first time, so fun, and as I watch,
I have been creating a one Tree Hill relationship map
on TikTok. What I need to see this? So she's
mapping out who each character sleeps with in season six,
(03:41):
she's asking does Brook eventually sleep with Owen? I couldn't decide,
so I decided to pull the audience on TikTok, and
the audience is very torn. Some of the girlies think
he never got what was beneath the clothes, and others
think they did sleep together, which is why Brook was
so set when Millie slept with Owen. What do you
(04:02):
guys think? Oh, was this not decided? I kind of
thought we already knew this.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yes, m Well.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
One of the things I appreciated about their storyline was
that Brooke really seemed to, you know, delay jumping into
the physical aspect of their relationships, so she would suss
out the emotional one. But they definitely were a couple
for a while.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, And so I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I think when you're in your mid twenties and you're
in a relationship, an exclusive relationship with someone, you're probably
leaving together.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I guess that's the assumption. I think.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Yeah, but we never saw them together in that way
on camera, so it is really interesting. It's kind of
it's definitely hard to know for sure, but I.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Say yes, yes, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay, well I'll ask you this other one because it's
from Lisa and it's for you, and she says, if
Brooke could have a sister, who would you want to
play her?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Oh my gosh, it would have been fun for Brooke
to have a sister, you.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Know what, I older or younger?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I mean maybe either I feel like Brooke gives big
sister energy though, yeah, or maybe I just feel that
way and I'm projecting. But you know, working on Grays,
I work with this wonderful cast and working with Camilla
Ludington for so long the internet has told us we
need to play sisters. Oh, and being in actual physical
(05:34):
space together, we're just like, oh, we absolutely should do that.
And very sweetly, someone recently said to us. They were like,
oh my god, you guys should play sisters on the
next season of White Lotus.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
They've never had like.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Sisters on the show sisters, and we were like, wait
a second, that would be so cool. So, whether it's
you know, a really twisty, turney show like that, or
something I would love to play her sister at some point.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah, yeah, okay, CALLI asks, how did you pass the
time on set when you were waiting for scenes? Oh goodness,
Oh we knit, we read, we wrote, we ate, We
sat in our trailers and watched movies.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
We sat around and talked to each other. If anybody
brought their dog to set, we'd go play with dogs. Yeah,
there were a lot of options.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I never have watched a movie in a trailer.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I don't think really well.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
I remember kind of trying in early days. But the
conundrum for me of the wait times on set is
you never really know how long they're going.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
To be, because they'll tell you they.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Need five minutes, and twenty five minutes later you still
haven't done anything. But then they'll tell you a turnaround's
going to take thirty minutes and it only takes nine.
So there's so much kind of hurry up wait that
for me, really getting into things that then I felt
like I had to get pulled out of work was
so hard, And I think that's why I really got
(07:09):
in the habit of using my spare minutes on set
to just pour through all my news articles in a
day because they're shorter and in a way I could
almost read more but feel less like I was being,
you know, cut off in the middle of something.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
If that makes it interesting, Yeah, it does, I kind of.
For me, it's a bit of the opposite. I really
it helps me stay in the moment of the scene
if I'm not thinking too hard about the scene when
I'm not shooting it. Yeah, So doing something that is
completely different than the scene, So like even just relaxing
(07:47):
into a movie knowing they're going to knock on my
door at anytime, I could be interrupted. It's fine, but it
just kind of completely takes me out of it. So
then every time we go to shoot from a different angle,
I've I've sent my nervous system and my body into
a relaxed, completely different space. So I come back and
it feels fresh every time. So I really whether I'm writing.
(08:12):
I did used to like to write on set a lot,
but I don't do that much anymore because it's just
feels like too much problem solving. I'm already problem solving
on set, understanding my character and the choices and blocking
and all that. So yeah, I really love to just
get my trailer and turn on a show or a
movie and relax and disassociate. That's so cool, funny.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Yeah, I feel like I've moved away from it because
I'd always just start to get really engrossed in something
and then they'd be like, we're ready for you.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
And I'd be so bummed.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
So I've found that I need shorter. I want to
get lost in something, but I need it to be
shorter so I don't feel so frustrated out of it. Yeah, yeah, amazing,
which is so silly in particular.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Oh, this is a good question, Kirsty cursed. If you
could live in any movie or TV show, which one
would it be?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh gosh, I mean there's so many I've never seen,
so I'm sure there's going to be a better answer
than whatever I give. If I could live in any
I don't know. It's like I want to say something
like a period piece, like a Pride and Prejudice or something.
But also life was kind of gross back then, and
there was not a lot of good medical care and
(09:31):
women were not treated well. Yeah, I don't know how
much has changed really, but in that regard, In that regard,
but yeah, I don't know if I really want to
want to live in that time period another time period.
This is kind of tough. I'm running through the I'm
running through in my mind all of the possibilities of
(09:52):
like what shows have I watched recently? I don't do
you have an answer?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I think this is the thing is that I love
of living in the real world, so I would like
to visit some of these other places, but I actually
don't want a reality that exists inside one of these
TV shows or movies. That's the reason I like it
is because I can visit it and then go away.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Yeah, totally, I agree with that. And I also think
so much of a great TV show or a movie
is the story of conflict or you know, some crazy
thing is happening, like you think about Back to the
Future or Mission Impossible. I'd love to do those movies. Yeah, yeah,
(10:33):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't necessarily want to live it feels
a little high stress.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, hmm, thanks. So Chloe wants to know. She's wondering
how the scenes where a character's facing a mirror and
(11:02):
it's an up close shot, how do you get the
shot without the cameras showing up in the mirror. This
is a cool question. Is it done with a stunt
double is the back of the head and the actual
actor is the quote reflection? Oh, that's an interesting puzzle. Well,
I very rarely have I seen one that's straight on
like that, And in that case, it's a CGI situation
(11:24):
as far as I've ever seen, where they have to
like segi out the camera. Usually they tilt the mirror
and the actor looks at a mark that is not
their face. But because the mirror is tilted and the
angle of the camera behind them, it looks as though
the actors looking at themselves in the mirror when they're not.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Actually, yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
It's there's always a camera over your shoulder. But very often,
I mean they'll literally ball up like painters tape. Let's say,
you know, I'm facing the mirror and the camera's over
my left shoulder.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
They'll ball up.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
A little painter's tape on the left side of the
mirror to just jut it off the wall at a
slight angle where you can't tell, but it tilts it
a little more towards the actor and a little away
from the camera, and then it might look like we're
centered in the mirror, but we're actually off, you know,
to a little to the right.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Usually you can't see yourself.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah, sometimes you can see yourself and sometimes you can't.
But also very often the camera is just out of
frame and they've put like a longer lens on, so
it's actually further back than it looks and it's out
of the shot, but the you know, the lens is
zoomed in to the actor.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I always find those scenes to be hard when you're
supposed to be looking at yourself and having an experience
some kind of scare or an emotional experience or whatever,
to be looking at an object or a mark instead
of actually being able to make eye contact with yourself
and see your physicality or whatever. And so you have
(13:00):
to imagine that you're looking at yourself when you can't
see yourself, and then have an emotional reaction because at
least when you're shooting with another actor, you've got somebody
else to look at to react to. It's truly acting
with a wall. It's so strange.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, it really makes me think about the actors who've
done just full films in CGI likes, you know, the
actors in Avatar who literally are just on a sound
stage and like suit a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Of the Marvel stuff too. You're like acting to a
monster a Jurassic Park. They don't exist. You're just covered
in dots looking up at strings.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yeah, so crazy. It's a very weird thing. You kind
of have to. You have to dissociate from reality a
little bit and just be sort of emotions in a
skin suit.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It's very good imagination.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Okay. Chris wants to know if you have a ritual
you like to do on the weekends or did you
have any growing up.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I mean, I guess we do watch I Love Lucy
a lot. I think that ends up on in the
house on Saturdays or Sundays when we're cleaning or just
sitting around or cooking or something. It's a nice background show.
But otherwise nothing in particular.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
No, Yeah, I don't know for me. I mean it
really depends. You know, we all have to travel so
much for work and so you get out of a routine.
But if I'm home with my family, it's like we
want to get outside. I want to get the kids
outside running around, you know, get in the woods, go
(14:39):
on a hike, play, you know, go swimming. Whatever's sort
of accessible. Yea, if I'm home, you know, like visiting
in California. I love to get together with friends on
Saturdays for brunch. I'm always at a flea market on
Sundays like those are the things that I love to do.
But I think my rituals and routines are more dependent
(15:03):
on place than they are on any kind of schedule.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I do try and rest on the weekends. I will
say that because it's no matter where I am, Inevitably
during the week there's a lot of work to be done.
So I know some people really love to use the
weekends as like their adventuring time and going out to
do a bunch of stuff with friends and clean the
house and all that stuff. But I don't know, do
(15:31):
you find that you prefer to just know that you
don't have anything on the calendar on the weekends, or
do you like to adventure?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yeah, I think it's really a seesaw for me because
I love being able to do something, you know, see
something I've wanted to see, or be with friends I
haven't seen in a while. But I also I just
I do find that I need rest in ways that
I maybe ignored before. And so yes, sometimes I just
(16:01):
want to have a rat day and do nothing and
lay on the couch and just watch TV and stay
in my pajamas.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Oh yeah, it's so nice.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I mean, rest can look like a lot of things,
whether you're doing it that way, or if I go
for walks, or I mean sometimes meeting a friend for
lunch can be RESTful if it's the right person. Yeah, totally, yeah, Yeah,
thanks Chris. Yeah, okay, ladies, asking, are you a tidy house,
messy car type of person, messy home, tidy car type
(16:33):
of person? Or I guess the extras would be tidy
tidy home, tidy car, messy home, messy car. I didn't, Yeah,
what are you so?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
I am very organized, and I definitely am a person
who will install set up like I like to make
space feel beautiful. But with in that, I definitely have
that sort of neuro spicy thing where I wind up
making piles, and if the piles sit for too long
(17:12):
then they just sort of exist. So I'm really trying
to work on not letting like a little pile of
books and papers just sit on the table for no reason,
you know.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, the doom piles.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
The phrase that I've been sort of using as a
mantra is don't touch it twice.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, I've heard a version of that, which is put
don't put it down, put it away. There's the same
kind of thing like don't touch it twice.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
For some reason, the don't put it down put it away,
I get there's something about maybe it's the alliteration. I
don't know, but don't touch it twice is so clear
to me because then I'm like, well, yeah, then I
I'm literally.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Wasting half my time.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah. If I put this down and then I have
to put it somewhere else, I've doubled the amount.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Of time I've had to touch this thing. That's stupid.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
So it helps me just kind of do what I
need to do a little bit.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That's so funny. My brain splits it where I'm like,
I'm okay touching it twice, but the putting it away
part of it goes, Okay, I'm going to put it
into the room where it belongs. So I'm only doing so.
But I think I'm splitting the work in half so
it doesn't feel like I'm wasting time because it's still
the same amount of work. I still have to walk
into that room and put it away, but I'm just
(18:38):
going to do the putting away part in a separate activity.
When I'm in that room putting everything away that I
had put in that room.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
That yeah, that was going to be by question.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Do you organize sometimes what I do, especially if I've
you know, been on location and I'm coming home and
I have all this unpacking to do, I will I
will do a sort of organize my piles very specifically,
like all of this is work for office space. All
of this needs to go in the bathroom, all of
you know, all of these items of clothing need to
(19:09):
go on hangers, and then these items of clothing need
to be folded, and I'll get everything organized like that,
and then I'll go pile by pile and actually do it.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of that too.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, well, well I have been keeping my cars pretty clean.
I have to say that's been one one thing that
makes life a little bit easier and makes me feel good.
It's like doing your nails, you know. When my daughter's like, hey,
can so and so get a ride home? I'm like, yes,
and I'm not embarrassed. Get in the car.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, look at me adult ting.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh thanks friends, thanks for joining us. Yeah, you can't
wait to see you next week.
Speaker 5 (19:44):

what are you all doing at home? Send us your
tips and tricks. I want to know what sort of
hacks you've.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Come up with.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I want a list of all the things you've purchased
on Amazon or Wayfair or whatever that help you organize. Friends,
