First of all, you don't know me.
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 shared for the right teams.
Drama queens, girl up girl fashion, but your tough.
Girl, you could sit with us.
Girl drama, Queens, drama, queise drama, Queens drama, Drama, Queens drama Queens.
Hello, friends, your goals are here for a Q and A. You have sent us some amazing questions lately. Keep them coming. We are amped to jump into these. Yeah.
I just love that people keep coming up with new stuff.
I know.
I like this question from Lauren. If the three of you could make a cameo appearance together in any music video, what would you choose?
Like anything from Prince Oh?
Oh, come on, I was gonna say, is it something that already exists or is yet to be created? Oh?
Interesting to see.
I'd never watched a lot of music videos. That just wasn't mine. We didn't have cable when I was a kid, and then by the time I was out of the house and had cable, I was too busy to sit around watching music videos. Side I didn't.
See a lot of them.
You know what music video I want to be in.
I love Phoebe Bridgers so much, and her and her two best friends have this new band called boy Genius, and like, yeah, all ladies are wearing cool suits. They're just like a vibe and I'm like, the three of them. Put the three of us in the Comet drive us by like a little, a little like iconic friendship cameo in an iconic friendship band feels very cool to me, like a throwback and then something future.
Y'all know who had the best music videos? Missy Elliott always had the best face. And like when you think about like like the girl gang videos of the early two thousands, there was like the Moulin Rouge video, which was so it was like Little Kim and Christina Aguilera and Maya, like that was so fun. And then there was Gwen Stefani and Eve did another fucking grit. Like there were so many hot girl combos in the early two thousands. That's what I'd want us to dip into.
Yeah, God, do you remember when Beyonce, Britney Spears and Pink did that. It was like some soft drink commercial for the Super Bowl, and it was like a music video and they were dressed up as female gladiators.
Oh my god, no, Oh my god.
The early two thousands were so they were just so cool and fun. That would be really that would be chic to like to go back and be in something that was the same era as when the show premiered. Would be kind of a fun throwback. Yeah, Oh, Lauren, that's a good question.
Love it from Liz. She wants to know.
She would love to hear our thoughts on the changes in our character's style after the time jump. Filling in the gaps. I really loved Peyton's darker hair and lucy floey tanks, Haley's sassy short hair and teacher mom vibes, and Brooks bright colors and red hair. Didn't Brook always wear bright colors though? I feel like Brook was always really vibrant.
I don't know.
I guess the style feels different for me for sure with the time jump because of the way we cut my hair, which looking back, I hate so much. Oh I hate it, Oh god, I hate it. But it was a very like it was specifically sort of designed around the haircut, around that wild like lob that had the pointy fronts that Victoria Beckham did that year.
Yeah, because when we.
Were designing it, like with Jojo and Carol Cutshawl and Wardrobe, it was like, Okay, we have to make her look older, and you know, if she's looking up to other women that are sort of pioneers in fashion, Victoria Beckham feels like a really cool one for her to look at. And so I think, I'm I'm now and watching it back, I'm like, yeah, it looked really good on Victoria Beckham and less good on me.
But I don't agree. I think, no, it screams Manhattan, you know what I mean, Like for sure, Yeah, that's
just clear that Brooke Davis left Tree Hill. And what I was like, just in the episode we just watched, like you're wearing so many adult clothes, you know, like it's like a rap dress and like a shift and there's a lot of maturity in what you're wearing, which to me is kind of jarring because as your loser friend, I'm like, man, like, let's still like wear concert t shirts and let's just stick around and yeah, I want to be immature forever.
I think that our wardrobe department did such a good job giving the three of us really specific looks, and I think they all really work for our characters. Yeah, I look at myself in some of those scenes and I feel like I look like a kid playing dress up. But that's exactly what Brook is. She's a very young professional person in the same way that Haley is probably
the youngest teacher at school. And she's wearing cute little, you know, capri suit pants and like but not tops, but they've got a shape and like, yeah, Peyton's run on a record label, She's still dressing like a rock and roller and it's oh snap, It's like it's cool and it does it does really work.
You know what I liked about Haley's wardrobe is that you got to it's all like really vintage silhouettes, Like you're wearing all these sun dresses and tops that have like a nineteen fifties housewife undertone to it.
Yeah, that suits my body shape for sure, But I also like what it means subliminally.
It's like Haley's trying to have the American dream. She's trying to have that perfect life and make it look pretty and cute, and there's just always a little bit of Tree Hill drama underneath that skirl.
Always from Alicia, she says. In season one, Keith tells Lucas referring to Peyton's car, all the prettiest girls have the messiest cars, which is such a funny. I don't know what that means, but how cleaner dirty do we keep our cars?
Men?
If that shit is true, then I am a gorgeous I got two kids and three dogs that get it out of that car. It's on a farm. It's so shity.
God, that's so good.
I keep my car pretty clean, but my truck is absolutely destroyed, destroyed because.
I remember leaving our first in person podcast at that hotel in La oh Yeah, and we got you drove Hillary and I home to your house the way in your suv, and like I got in the back seat and was like in between Duffel bags.
To be fair, I had all this stuff because it was like costumes and things from our photo shoot that I was like, oh my god, it was so funny.
We were like, no, we can fit, We'll get in. We'll just we'll sit on this stuff. It doesn't matter. We'll be fun.
Yeah.
No, I have historically had a very messy car, and in the last I would say, like six months I have. I don't know what happened. I turned a corner if maturity in my life. And now my car like I vacuum it out in the car pool, I mean in the line, just for God's sake, joy the school pick up line, and I have a little trash can in it, and I take all my stuff in the house after I'm done for the day. It's like a really clean car. But my truck is not. It's destroyed.
It found serenity.
I found it, Sophia.
I It kind of depends on the day, like cause there's a lot of days where like all the seats are folded down on my cars full of stuff from the flea market, like furniture and you know, random things. Yeah, but I do have like a when it's empty, when there's not you know, stuff I'm hauling. I have this trunk organizer that I'm obsessed with. It's like a pop up vinyl It's got dividers in it. And so in
the trunk on my car is very organized. It's like sunscreens in the front, and then there's a thing where all the reusable bags are, and then there's another thing.
Where anything you might need at any moment.
Yeah, any anything you might need, like the camp counselor in me will Never Die, snacks, tampons, ad bill, Yeah, anything non perishable. You know, there's an earthquake kid in there, like just in case. But what I like about that is I can lift it in and out of the car, so like if I'm going to the flea market. Aside from keeping the sunscreen in there, like I take most everything out so that I've got room, but I like having something that keeps it tight.
Oh, I just find old fruit snacks and boogers, and like all the kids stuck rooms, I'm growing mushrooms in my car.
Ah, that's so funny.
Gross. All right, well, thanks for making us out ourselves. Oh.
Corley's got a good one. On the subject of our characters trying to be grown ups, she says, was it hard to switch from high school kids to young adults in just a few months time? Did you like the new dynamic in your characters playing people closer to your age?
Well, it wasn't hard. Our characters had no parents anyway, Like, yeah, high school was a free for all. It just made more sense.
It made a lot more sense. And you know, to the point of the question. We were finally playing closer to our own age, you know it It felt easier, and I don't know there was there was I think a little more space to be human. We didn't have as much worry about what these characters were doing in high school, what that was modeling for kids, you know, So I think it really relieved some of the pressure.
Yeah, I definitely felt that.
Yeah. I also liked the you know, we could hang out in bars and stuff like all the time, Like the scenes of us hanging out and trick and it not being like, what is that weird? All ages club? The kids like it. Just I could relate so much more to it. Yeah, five year job, I like it.
How do we film montage scenes? Are they written in the script and filmed as short as a few second clips, or the scenes longer and they cut them shorter to make a montage? No, I just film them short. Hi, Carla, it's a nice question.
But montages.
So you know, if if there's a sequence that cuts from you know, brook in Peyton to Haley and Nathan to Lucas and Lindsay, each of those sequences is at the shortest and eighth of a page, in the script, so it'll be you know, scene sixty seven, or can Peytent fade to scene sixty eight Nathan and Haley, and it'll give a description. It'll say, like, you know, interior Nathan Haley's house, living room, and it'll give a description of what they're doing. If there's dialogue between the characters
in a montage, then they'll be longer. But they still each take an hour at minimum to shoot. You don't you don't just get to like set up a scene and film it for a few seconds and be done. It's a very technical and arduous process, and they still get often, you know, filmed with three cameras to make sure you have options for the size of the scene in the edit, because your editors need options for things depending on how the scenes are going to cut together, so they look nice and quick.
Why they write them often to be an extension of the scene that you just watched, like on the same set, kind of like moments later, rather than completely separate shots of somebody who you've only ever seen in you know, one or two sets, and now they're completely someplace else walking down the street.
That's a whole huge setup.
So they often put them in the spaces where we're already going to be so that because it's already set up, it'll be much faster to shoot.
Yeah. Otherwise it's it's too complex, it adds too much time to the schedule, and it's too expensive. Like you have to think of every set you're on as a as having a cost, because company moves costs time and so they have to learn to be really efficient with that stuff.
Yeah.
I love the Montage Days. I love doing scenes where I didn't have to sail the word yeah right, Like Hillary, we're going to put you through hair and makeup, going to come in and look out a window. Then you're gonna go home.
Hospital bed in Montage.
Days, goad Dang, I love that.
Jay wants to know who has been your most memorable artists that you've seen live in concert.
Oh, it's such a good question.
Oh it's hard. That is really hard, Like I know I have the answer.
Who is it? Who is it? So?
I was working at MTV when the White Stripes came out and got to see like their first show in New York, and every like all the record label people were there. Everyone was like, who is this?
Right?
So I made a pack I was like, I'm going to go to every white stripe show that happens that I can like get to. It doesn't matter what state, doesn't matter where. I was obsessed with them. And I got to go see Jack White right as he was doing Van Lear Rose with Loretta Lynne.
Oh my gosh.
It wasn't announced she was going to be there, but I had a feeling. And so I'm sitting there and I'm like watching him just like Shred and it was incredible. And then all of a sudden, He's like, you, guys, I brought a special friend. And I burst into tears before she even hit the stage, and she clungs out in this glittery bull gown like Glinda Glinda orset Wicket or from Wizard of Oz. I guess Wicked is the
secondary reference. And I burst into tears because you knew it was the only time you were going to see something like that. You knew it was magical, you knew it was honoring this woman's legacy and music, and I have always been obsessed with her. So yeah, that was it.
Wow, my god, I love that.
I remember I have a few. I don't know that I could pick one, but Mariah Carey. That was my first concert at Madison Square Garden, the first time I ever saw and that was in her like little black dress, long curly hair face when she first came out with that first album, and it was incredible to see one woman take over an entire stadium basically, I mean it
was all of Madison Square Garden. I saw Adele do the same thing many years later at the Staples Center in LA And I got pulled up on stage at a bon Jovi concert once, So that probably wins, just because when would that ever happen ever again in life. Well, also, that's like the New Jersey dream Man. Yeah, that's like goals. I saw bon Jovi in Jersey. I was wearing a zip up denim onesie that was skin tight, and I got pulled up on stage and just hung out with bon Jovi on stage for like ten minutes.
It was so fun. How old are you nineteen eighteen nineteen?
That's incredible. Yeah, that's a good one.
So fun, all right, So that wins.
It's funny listening to you guys. Yeah, my brain is like, oh this, oh, this, like when when I asked the question and then Hilary you had an answer like literally my brain through when we went and saw Lucero in Wilmington together, Oh, oh my god, I totally forgot about that, and so I'm like, wait, is it nights that like we saw concerts? Is it like the best concert you've
literally ever seen? But I remember I forgot about it too, And then I remember being in that little long theater with that creaky wood floor, just like drinking beers and plastic cups, shouting the lyrics to my best girl, and like, oh, I just feeling so cool, and you'd introduce me to that band, and then like when I think mega shows, I'm like, well, is it is it like Beyonce at the Rose Bowl, which was treating one of the coolest shows I've ever seen in my life, and it was
her and jay Z And there was a part where the stage literally started to roll forward and you didn't realize that what looked like the side barricades were giant channels for wheels and the and they rolled over the crowd and we all were just like, what is happening. It was like it was like they moved a highway like out from the stage out over the crowd, and people were it was like it was just the most incredible production of anything I've ever seen, and like, she's Beyonce.
Yeah there's only one.
You know, like what, it doesn't make any sense. She's so incredible. But then you just said Adele and I'm like, oh my god. I just saw her in Vegas this year and it was like, again, it's Adele. These are iconic women. I knew she was going to be amazing. And then people asked me how the show was, and I was like, I, on no level was I prepared for how incredible it was going to be, how impressed I was going to be. I had no idea I was going to cry, Like why I was like crying
in a Peter listening to Adele but incredible. So I don't know. It's like I have those small moments and then and then these kind of big ones that just feel nuts.
That was the thing I miss most in the pandemic. I didn't miss in the pandemic. I love staying home.
Live music.
I missed live music, yeah too.
So much, so so much. I've gotten to see a couple of friends play recently and it's been so incredible. Tovlo just did a show at the will Turn and when I tell you, two hundred people that we know in LA all showed up because it was like it's been so long since we've been able to go to music regularly and it was so special. And then I mean, you guys know, I'm going to like internally be a club kid forever.
And our friends are She's like, there's this DJ from the middle of nowhere, and also we're out till six in the morning.
Truly, I'm like, give me a beat, and I it's like it like soothes my like my eighty d stuff, and it just it makes me feel so good. And our friend Dom, who I joke is like, literally my child goes by Dom Dalla and is one of the biggest DJs in the world now. And we watched him play Red Rocks Oh, and I was like, we traveled out there and his mom was like, oh, it's so nice to meet his us parents and I was like, oh my god, your actual mom is here. And by the way, she sayed out later than any of us.
And I just like any genre of music, how good is it.
I can't wait to be seventy years old and still hitting it. We're doing it, yes, doing it.
I will drag y'all to clubs. Let's go.
That was a good question.
Yeah, I like it.
Let's see. Gayleen wants to know if Lucas hadn't just found out Dan killed Keith, do you think he would have still had the same reaction to Karen and him kissing. Hmmm.
I don't know.
Lucas has done some weird like he lived with Dan.
Yeah, you know, I don't know if he would have pulled a gun on him, but he do think he would have lost his mind.
Yeah, I don't think he would have liked it, knowing how manipula Dan is, But I agree, I don't think he would have gone batshit crazy if Dan was just some you know, wasn't a murderer.
Yeah, I mean there's a lot of complex feelings there for sure, and it's it would have been very upsetting. I could see him throwing a fit or yeah, storming out being like what are you doing?
And like, you know how he treats Devid Nathan. He's got so much other AMMO to not like Dan, but this this is pretty gnar. Really, we've got a lot of Dan content. Emily wants to know do you think Dan turned himself in because if Nathan's reaction, which is interesting because Lucas also had a big reaction or did the guilt set in after holding Lily, who is Karen and Keith's daughter. For some of the folks at home may not remember that. Emily continues saying I was always
surprised that he turned himself in. Interesting. Interesting, Dan the Murderer questions today, what do we think?
I think sometimes people just get exhausted, honestly, like in the cases that we've covered on my show, and then I have friends, I have some friends who are criminals that have also turned themselves in. I think you just reach a point where you realize the con isn't gonna work anymore. And the idea of just like being able to go to a cell and sleep is almost like a relief.
Yeah you know, Yeah, the honesty is just a relief.
I can get off this bike. Great. Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think it has anything to do with remorse or like regular human emotion. I think it's probably self preservation. It's exhausting to keep it going.
Yeah.
Well, Becca wants to know if you ladies could play any villain on the show movie on Oh, if you Ladies could play any villain on any show, movie, or play. Who would you want to portray any I like that she.
Put play in there because that's fun too.
Betty Davis and whatever happened to Baby Jane? Yes, she's so unhinged and delicious, iconic. God, I loved it. Betty Davis was kind of great overall, just in like everything, because even when she was playing like a young debutante, she's still the bad guy. Like she's the bad guy and everything.
This is a tough one, like there's fun like the heiress in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I can't remember her character's name, but especially the musical version is so fun. Or I'm trying to think. The first person that came to mind was that pinter play about the husband and wife, and it's so interesting because you never quite know who is. Everybody's a villain and everybody's a victim at the same time. It's really interesting. What's that one called too? I gotta look that up.
What about like Madam Tonight and Lane is oh fun?
Oh yes?
Or like uh in Sweeney Todd, missus miss it, thank you?
Yeah, yes, love.
It would be so fun. By the way, That's how I always felt about Cruela Deville. I want to play her. And then they did such a good job, Like God, Emma Stone did such a good job.
That movie was outstanding.
I was like, I'm all in, Like I'm in. They just nailed it. So it was cool to see something that I'd always thought would be such a good adaptation be better than I could have even imagined.
I wanted to hate it, and I am such a dork for it. Oh, I loved it because when you feel territorial about something, you're like, oh, God ruined this, and they sure did it.
They made it incredible.
Yeah, that was a fun question.
I loved it. Oh, and this is a good one to end on. Lorraine asked if Facebook and Instagram were used in the first season, how would you imagine the show with social media? Haley posting songs, Brooke being an influencer on Instagram?
Well, Peyton Sawyer with their webcam is definitely on only fans. She's just like, watch some of it.
What's going on?
Yeah, wasn't that a storyline on Euphoria? Like we had our dorky little webcam and there was a character on that show season one that I think was doing ooh, that's intense like Camgirls, she's camgirls something oof?
Oh man, too much.
It's dark.
Yeah, I'm really glad we didn't have to deal with that on the show. I'm really glad we didn't have to grow up with it.
How do you that's such a hard thing to tell a story, like, because it's inside a world that is, it's in a computer, It's like in a robot. How do you? We would have spent so much time what filming our phone, looking at our phones, posting things. I guess, you know, people have figured it out. There's plenty of TV shows and movies out there that feature those things. But yeah, I'm I agree. I'm glad we didn't have to deal with that.
I don't know, Yeah, I do think it would be a very easy extension Haley having a music profile online. Brooke probably would have been some version of an influencer and had a dynamic there for close over bros. Peyton would have been like the go to you know, like she would have been the like vice media like music kind of person that everyone was turning to for emerging bands. I think it all would track. I'm just glad that we didn't have to analogue.
Man, Yeah, I think stuff's going to swing back, even with like chat GPT. I heard that they're now going to make kids like Handwright their essays again good to avoid making you know, yeah, to avoid them being able to do that computer shit. And I was like, this is how it's gonna go. We're going to go back to pen and paper, We're going to go back to being in person. My son hates the telephone, hates it, won't carry it like perfect.
Good good for him.
I actually just read this article about these two young guys. I think they're nineteen and twenty or twenty and twenty one. They're like young computer geniuses who have created especially like a it's a web browser that will tell you what is chat GPT and what is human created and their whole goal, as these gen z kids is they're like, no, we don't want everything to come from a computer. We
want to know what's human. And so it's a browser you can install that will identify whatever you're looking at, anything that comes from AI and what doesn't. And I was like, see they don't know, they don't want it.
We don't want it. Enough of that.
I want that browser.
That's cool, Yeah, right, I gotta I gotta find the article.
Well, thanks for Q and a US.
Yeah, keep sending them questions. We'll keep doing more of these things.
