One Tree Thrill (Part 14)

serious business. We're gonna jump right into it. Okay, if you could have dinner with anyone in the world, alive or dead, who would it be? And why this is morbid? Can it just like, can we just put a boundary off and it's like someone we don't know because we're all gonna choose someone dead that we love, so can it be someone that we don't know who's alive. Let's keep it in the land of the living, right, Okay, dinner with anyone alive? Yeah, just somebody you want to

have a meal with. You know, I want to have dinner with Jennifer frickin Coolidge. Oh, I just want to sit right. Can you imagine if we were all sitting around a table with that woman, drinking martinis and talent stories. I would love it so much. Yeah, she is so funny. I've been afraid to like meet my heroes. I really am. I don't know that i'd want to, because you know, it could never live up to all like the people in my life who have been super influential, just sitting

down having a meal. I think it would feel anti climactic. It's like prom like you spend weeks weeks thinking about it, and you get all worked up and dressed up and then it's over in like three where um, yeah, that's stressful. I just as like a fact finding mission. Would very much like to have dinner with Elizabeth Banks because I like her objectory. I like I like her directing, I

like her long marriage. I like just that she like you don't really know much about her private life, but she is great at her job and seemingly like everyone thinks she's super fun and you know, like, I'm curious about that, and I want to see cocaine bear real bad. I do. I heard it's great ideal a friend. Yeah, you gotta be a cool girl to pitch that to a bunch of like you know, established actors and have everybody go a hall. Yeah, Okay, that's what I want. Yeah. Yeah.

The only person I can really think of that I would just love to have a meal with. Yeah, it's it's um, doctor Tim Keller, who is a former pastor, the head pastor at Redeemer Press in New York City, a church that I went to on and off in the nineties and then just over the years. He has had an incredible influence on my life, my spiritual journey, my growth out of the cult that I was in and finding my way from that back to an authentic faith.

For me, his voice has been very, very prevalent in my life during that time and even now, and I've read so many of his books and he's just very logical. His approach to Christianity and the Gospel and Jesus is it's just very logical. It feels like I'm going to a college lecture and hearing something that is I'm walked through why something makes sense, rather than having something like really hyped up and I'm supposed to believe it because

the guy who's talking is like emotional, you know. So, Yeah, I think it would be I think it would be Tim Keller. I would love to just have a meal with him. He's had a big, huge influence on my life. Great joy, this is about this is for you. This is with season five and Jamie coming onto the show. What was it like to work with kids? You know, me and other people's kids, But have you worked with

kids before? Not much? Well, in theater, I had I'm you know, I'm joking when I talk about other people's kids. I do love kids. And and Jackson was he was He was mature for his age. He was so smart and funny and easy to interact with, and he was good at memory memorizing all his lines, and um, he was fun. It was fun to work with Jackson. Yeah, I had fun. I liked working with kids because you could only work like a certain number of hours. It was just well it's six hours. I guess we're all

going home. Hope you all got what you need it by Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I loved the storylines that I got to have with him, and it was also just really fun to have a kid around who was so excited. You know, the the novelty of anything wears off. And five years into doing a job and you know, being with the same people and living in the same place. It's great, but it's not filled with

wonder anymore. What are you talking about? And then a little kid comes to set and it is like wow, and then you go, yeah, wow, that's so fun to just be reminded. So I loved him coming to join the cast. And you know, even in later scenes when there were the babies around, it was just fun. Did I ever tell you guys about the time that Jackson and his siblings came over to my house and I baby sat them and ghosts showed up in the pick. Oh, So these kids were like used orbs in the photos.

They were obsessed with my haunted house and they wanted to take old timey photos. So we dressed up and I had him in the dining room of my house where the woman who lived there before me died, and I took these pictures of them, and all of these orbs showed up. But you could tell that the orb wasn't just like floating light. It was it was like behind Jackson's head, but his head cut it off, but it was in front of all the stuff in the middle ground, Like it didn't make sense. Yeah, it wasn't

a flare light couldn't hit. Yeah, it was weird. Those kids are mystical. That was a whole gang of them. Yeah. He had his little brother and little an older sister, right, the three of them. Yeah, good family. They were sweet, sweet kids. Oh. I like this one because I love snacks. What is your favorite midnight snack? Peanut butter and jelly and crackers? Wait, you put the peanut butter and jelly o crackers instead of breast man. Interesting. M okay, what's yours? Soap?

I don't know. I'm a popcorn person, but I make popcorn on the stove in a pot. I don't do microwave popcorn. I'm like, I'm very, very passionate about popcorn in general. So that would probably be the first one. And oh, next is like, if they're sour candy in the house, watch out because I'm gonna I'm gonna find that late at night. I have made the mistake of making my family addicted to charcuterie boards like it is the Morgan kids an expensive habit. My husband and these kids. Joy,

I'm not putting nice things on that board. You know. It's just like American cheese and some crackers and like some nuts. I can fine, you know, like whatever. My family will all be kind of like angsty, and then someone will yell out like, you know what, we need a charcuterie board, and then I'm the one that has to go put it together. Yeah, man, charcutery boards are a big deal in our house late night. Fancy man.

I have this dream of having a home that you know, my friends just kind of like come in and out of and and so I have this dream of having like a four o'clock charcuterie like breadboard that's just out, just a four o'clock like swing on in happy hour and bread maybe like every Thursday. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'll make it happen. It's fancy. You go post that on Facebook. You just tell all those other chicks in town, come here, which acting scene are you most

proud of from the show? Y'all ready to brag? M I mean you guys, we watch episodes together every week, and this question, it's like it's like the music one. I can't think of a single episode we've ever done in this moment. Yeah, do you have one? Like does it come to you right away? I really don't. I mean, I know which ones I enjoyed working on that I felt good about. You know, as an actor, when you do, you feel like you've done the best that you can do.

Whether I'm proud of how it turned out or not, I don't really know, because I just don't like I don't like watching my performance from that perspective. But I know there were plenty of times where like the comedy hit exactly the way I wanted it too, and it felt good. And I think some of the stuff, like when Nathan was in his wheelchair, I feel like there was some good stuff in there that I remember feeling like going home feeling good about the work I had

done that day. I don't know that's about it. What about you, guys? I mean so much of it is to pennant on how it's edited together, because you could turn in an awesome performance and then it gets like paired with a shitty song and you're like, oh, that's the coverage they're going to use. Yeah, totally. But I remember when the episode where Peyton finds Ellie's body aired and I got the feedback like, oh, my god, you were so brave to be so ugly in that scene.

Just your face because my face is like contorted in like serious terror and like sadness and stuff. But hearing that as a compliment was like, yeah, I went there. I'm an artist, yea, I just wished for it. But so yeah, I felt I felt very connected to that storyline. Yeah, I don't know. I think the things that jump out, like the vulnerability that I really got to do with Brooke at Nathan and Haley's wedding. I think about some of that work that I got to do in later

seasons with Brooke and Victoria. I always liked it when Brooke would get mad and like go on a ramp. I like someone that was always really fun for me, the really speedy, like mad, funny stuff. But yeah, I don't I don't think there's something that I go, oh, that's the scene. It's you can't pick one thing in you know, a decade. Yeah, there's those moments that stand

out that are so sweet. I mean I even think about it, like as it's all sort of bubbling up from my subconscious I remember the conversation we had early on when we did the episode where Brooke and Peyton went on that boat for the day. Oh yeah, I remember we were we were watching that back, and the three of us were like, Oh, it's just so nice to see these girls having fun and Sharry I am laughing, and it was so refreshing to all of us. And I even love those things. And it wasn't like some

you know, incredible acting moment. It was just so great and honest and sweet. And I like that We've had the opportunity as women in this show to do so many things that is more fun to me than perhaps one specific moment. You're right when you said honest, because I think that's what we do as actors. We hunt honesty. We're just like, where is it? And we'll walk through all the weeds and we stare through the trees and we just wait and watch until we can feel it nearby,

and then we jump on it, as you know. And so anytime we're able to find that honesty, whether it's comedy or drama, we love it. Yeah, it feels good, it feels nice. Hey, guys, would you ever go to space if you had the chance? Yes? Still yeah, yeah, absolutely yeah, but like now or would you like I would go? But when I'm about eighty, well, look are

we talking? Like Okay, you can go to space and then you come back like you get to go for a week or we like traveling light years talking about No, I'm talking about somebody buys you a ticket to get on the Virgin Atlantic flight to the Moon. Are you doing it? Um? I think that I very much want to go to Mars. Everyone knows I'm a big Ray

Bradberry fan, and Marshan Chronicles is a perfect book. And there's going to come a point where like, my kids don't need me anymore, and um, yeah, when you're old, this is what I'm saying. When we're old. Yeah, but my kids like not eighty. Like I'm still trying to have some muscle tone when I'm up there so I can do somety so all right seventy two right, Yeah, I'm will be a very muscular seven year old woman. Yes it's space camp girl. Yeah yeah, I mean it's

such a complicated answer. My initial is like yes, and if I could get on a flight and go and see for myself with my own eyes the imagery that has been taken by our astronauts and our you know, space shuttles and the things that have literally changed my life. Like you know, I have a tattoo on my arm because of the pale blue dot, because of the nineteen seventy two Voyager launch. Like, I am so deeply moved by and influenced by the things we've learned from that

vantage point. So I'm like, if I could go for a weekend and see the Earth like that, I would love to. And then the other you know, the annoying part of my brain is like the carbon emissions. Yeah, I can't, I can't go to space. No, we're holograms. Now, we're holograms. We're just gonna like teleport there. Yeah, I don't know. It's like it's so complicated. I would like

to go. I would really like to go. And I also I am sure that I don't know by the time we're muscular grandmothers, there might be a better way to do it. Right, which which planet is the planet you're trying to hit? M I mean, i'd love to see Mars. I I'd love to get close to the Moon. Yeah, it doesn't have to be a planet. But then it's like, I don't know, you see that crazy imagery of Neptune and Jupiter. I want to see all of it. Yeah, what's the want to see it? A couple of the

planets have diamonds just like floating around them. They like have natural diamonds from all the pressure, just like floating around. And it's like, whoever figures out I don't know that. Yeah, yeah, it's just diamonds. That'd be cool. Like, listen, we went on a little trip how to Martini came home with all of these. These are my Jupiter Damons the Boogieest Space Trip. Okay, number ten, do you have any embarrassing or funny stories from set that you've never shared before?

People ask us this question all the time. I don't know if I have anything I haven't shared in twenty years. It's probably because I don't want to. Yeah. Also, there's things we forget, Like you could tell me a story and I'll go, oh my god, I forgot about that. But I'm sure ten years ago I told the story because at that point I hadn't forgotten it. That is true. Yeah, I wish I'd written these things down. The problem, guys with our job is that it trains our brain to

be wi my mic is weird. It trains our brain to be have a short memory, so we remember lots of pieces of information for a short amount of time. And then it's gone, so details and little stories and things like that. If you want to remember it, you got to write it down because it disappears. And now, I've always wanted to be a journal person and I'm just not. But I do agree with what you were saying. Hillary.

I think some of them, the stories we've never told, we're not gonna tell God, And that might be because they're hilarious, and it might be because yeah, we're not trying to ruin it for everybody. I don't know, hidden man, I love that sentiment. They're like, Hey, what's your deepest duck is secret? You know, honey, I can't know. Let me think we've been I think we've been more than forthcoming. Yeah, let me have my things, you know what I'm saying.

I had never had to share a trailer before, right, And I was always so self conscious peeing on my side of the trailer. Oh I still am h because I was just like, oh no, so fiastic. Try sharing one with a boy. Oh no, sorry, Oh yeah, so embarrassing. I'm so embarrassed. I just don't want to pee in front of people. It's a weird. It's a weird. Share. Yeah, I'm not into it. Well that's it. Thank you guys for sending me questions. Send more. That's so fun. We
