One Tree Thrill (Part 5)

where we just answer a fan questions. Um, we all just sent out a tweet that we wanted your questions because we're all getting together and like hopping on the phone joys in an airport. Honestly, I just love our commitment. Yeah, I'm just flying across the country, but I'll still be

there at eight am. It is very early today everyone, So rather than send a question, someone just sent us an article from sixteen that says, let's discuss this insane One Tree Hill fan theory about Chris Keller and Dan Scott. What have you heard about this nook For the tweet, there's so many questions, it says. One of the most nauseating characters on the show besides Dana debb was Chris Keller. People are suggesting that he's another one of Dan Scott's

illegitimate sons. No, how could this be? Oh? Also, when he met Dan, Dan said he reminded him of himself. Interesting. Interesting. I don't know, guys, I don't know if I buy that theory. It's a small town, but I think I think um, the the king of the small town having to children with people other than his wife might be aggressive. Although I don't know. Mari Poe, which has been on the air for a real long the whole the father

it's like a paternity test every week. Also, Chris Keller was supposed to be older than us, So does that mean the Dan was skirting around like as a sophomore in high school? Maybe? Mm hmm wild. I don't know, guys. Anyway, that was a fun way to kick off this bit. I love like a news headline. I'm such a sucker. What questions do we got? Baby? You know what? I think was actually really sweet. Somebody just asked, oh my god, they're coming in so fast, I'm starting to lose them.

Hold on, hold on, Okay, well I've lost it in the in the feed. But somebody said was there a character that you would have liked to end up in a couple with mm hm is essentially the question, Um, are you going to answer that? I mean, look, we all know who our characters and games are, and that's great. We watched it exists. But I think it's no secret, especially as we're re watching seasons one and two, that I am an enormous fan of the would be relationship

between Brooke Tavis and Marvin McFadden. Oh, I love it, I love it. Continuing, I think she's going to co sign all that answer, UM, don't you think? Yeah, we're reading O our tweet questions Joy, what airport are you? And I'm at L A X and Tom Bradley Terminal. Can you guys hear me? Because I've got my headphones on, but there's no I'm just using the computer speaker. Yeah, you actually sound pretty great, great okay? And you look cool to know. I'm like, how does your hair do that? What?

It looks awful? What are you talking about? Every time we get on zoom, I'm like, what is how just how last week you looked like you rolled out of the seventies. Today you're like mess him at the airport and I'm like, if that was my mess, I'd be thrilled. Oh, I love you guys. I I'm still trying to put myself together this morning, but you know what I have to say, my hair is sort of the one super fun constant in my life. But I can always like you know, you know what I mean. It's like I

could always change my look. It's fun. It's been playing with hair anyway. What are you guys talking about? What's going on? Well, Sophia just asked a really good question from we're reading the fan questions and there I was just saying, the tweets are coming in so fast, I'm actually like losing them in the thread. But somebody asked, um, if if your character could have ended up with any other character, like aside from your endgame couple, who would

it be? And we gave the disclaimer No one's allowed to get mad that we're not rooting for our endgame. This is this is for fun. And I was just saying, especially given the episodes that we're watching, I mean the time capsule, I just would have loved to see a broken mouth yea like fun? Oh yeah, I love that. Did you have one? Hillary? I haven't answered yet, but you know mine as skills. Damn, I was thinking about skills. I don't know We're going to have a week, going

to have a love triangle with skills. Honestly though, I would watch the spiral that Peyton like always goes on. I feel like skills has the capability to pull her out of her bowls and be calm down, don't be an idiot, relax. Well, if you get skills that I want, I want, you could just sing together all all the time. We just like live a life of musicians, travel and raised babies, never wear shoes. You guys would just be like playing guitar and tapping your feet. Okay for it.

We're onto something. Get are so are you? Guys? Like on Twitter scrolling through Sorry every sorry everybody out there. If it's sounds, can you hear that high pitched deeping? I can try and mute it, but I'm in the airport. It's actually it's ambiance because now everyone at home feels like they're in the airport with you and we're all just we're on a layover together. Baby from the Tom

Bradley Germinal. I like it because this is usually what happens when the three of us are on FaceTime like always, one of us is in that little FaceTime square running through something. So Hilary's got like five plates and just feeding children and goes like it's the last time set

like stebbing food in her mouth. They're like calling for her, and she's like, but I'm here talking to my friends, like hold on, just one second, just one The last time I sent you guys a video, it was in the school pickup line getting Gus and I was in a rental car, so he didn't recognize me, and I'm like, Gus, God damn it, Gus, I'm over here. I could have like hit pause on the video. Whatever you hated the world that day? Man, Oh my god, I was gonna

fiss like everything. So okay, so I have a good one here, do it because it's super relevant to the episodes were in the midst of now. Um Marie son is asking, since Joy was touring, how much did she know about the storyline Because you guys were out on the road, did you have any idea what the rest of us were doing back home? No idea, no idea. In fact, you know, I was just watching a little bit, uh of the last episode and the whole Jake and

Jenny thing. I mean I knew that there was Jake and Jenny and that Nikki, like I knew that was happening around Peyton, but I didn't really know that storyline. I completely forgot that Brook moved and with Karen it took over Lucas, which is so cool. Um, yeah, totally forgot about that, and uh and the thing I just I mean I knew it happened, but I didn't actually

watch any of this stuff. Um and oh when this whole thing about Lucas finding like cash and ledgers and dance like doing Superspy stuff and dance motors like no, and I never saw anything about what Nathan was doing when I wasn't on the road. I mean they sent me the scripts. I think I was just I mean Tyler and I were out touring. I think I was just kind of like, well, if I'm not in it, I'm not going to read it, which is dumb of me at your antine thing of you to do it.

But now I will do that now. But I'm trying to remember if they even emailed us the scripts, Like did we get scripts emailed to a certain we get hard copy that hard copies. Remember, we had leaks all the time, so also did we have email back then. I remember, remember this is actually a crazy thing I haven't thought about in years, guys, when when the show was on, we had so many leaks happening and and

hacks happening. People were hacking into email accounts of producers on our show, which, by the way, just disclaimer, so inappropriate, Like if you have to hack somebody's account, just don't you supposed to be there, like respect boundaries. Rude, It's very rude. People were stealing scripts and so they remember they started giving us scripts on red paper because your rocks red paper, and all these weird security measures we were going through, they were like sides. I feel like

that started with the Nathan and Haley marriage. That when it was like the big surprise that they got married, and that's when that was reda just started it. I haven't thought about that and so long, I just have being like what dork is like, I'm gonna I'm gonna ruin this surprise like a Marvel movie or something. I was like, if you're a hacker, like, don't you want to go I don't know, work for the government to do something cool like I want to code like the

next spaceship. What are you doing? Be a whistleblower man, not a ruiner. Hello, I have a good one. Guys, this is funny. Okay, Elevator, pitch your characters go, come on, that's so funny. I know my elevator pitch on. Peyton grumpy cheerleader with lots of dead mothers and relationship and boundary issues. But good taste in music, Dad great, Um, Haley James overachiever, super um sweet, kind of repressed and um and uh the girl next door. I don't know,

I'm boring you. Oh that was gentle and like loving, we love Haley. I was funny. I was going to use Girl next Door for Brooke as well, I do. I think she is the popular girl next door who has grown up with absentee parents, learned to validate herself with all the wrong things men, money, etcetera, and is coming into her own learning to replace external validation with internal conflicts. What a journey, What a journey meaningful? That's

where we're at currently. Okay, speaking of characters, though, Sammy wants to know silly question, but which Disney characters do you think you're o t H. Characters are most like, what's surprise for been Chanted? Oh? Yeah, dude, isn't wait? Isn't Chanted a Disney movie? Yeah? An idiot? Yeah, Amy Adams an Enchant? It's definitely a Disney Um, what's the one in uh? In Hercules? Who's the really grumpy chicken that? What's her name? Do you know what I'm talking about?

What she's like? Don't talk about the Yeah, if there's a price for rotten judgment? Yeah? Yeah, megaa whatever? Man? That was me? Um? Yeah, you know, super grump really might be more like mo Wanna. I think actually she had Disney Princess. I guess she is technically yeah, love was Brooke. I don't know who is Brooke. Brooke is the blonde chick from Princess and the Frog who Sean and the Buff who's like catching Bigne's. Honestly, even in an animated world, all I ever want to eat is

a vigne So that feels right. I took us to New Orleans when that movie came out, and we went to a restaurant and he ordered I'd like some man catching Beignet's. Oh my god, he's Disney. I don't know who would you say? So? Do you get to see many Disney movies? No, it's been a minute since I watched a Disney movie. I mean, I don't know all my favorite songs to singer from the Little Mermaid, But that's probably just because of nostalgia. Brooke Davis never sang

so yeah what else? Yeah? But Brooke Davis wants to be more than just a princess of the ocean. She wants adventure. She finds her voice, Brooke ariel Ael. It makes me feel very emotional. Okay, I have a good one, especially because on our on our elevator pitch you talked about Payton's love of music, so it feels lightly tied together. Um, it's not quite jumping the shark. To move on to this next one. If Vic wants to know, if you guys had a song that represented your character, what would

it be and why? And especially because your characters were so rooted in music, was there a song or or did you, like every season feel like you had a song that represented Hailey or Peyton. Oh man, that's tough. I'm gonna go into my I Tunes library right now. We house for a second. I don't have any that come to minds. You know what song I sang in my head all the time while we were filming. You know, I was like a huge Donnie Darko fan, and that song Mad World, you know, like I find it kind

of funny. Yeah, which I'm dying or the best I ever had. Like those lyrics were so Peyton Sawyer to me, and like, there there's a Donnie Darko element to Peyton Sawyer where she's just always right on the brink of making like terrible choices. Um made world, Mad World is beauty in that world? Is Brooke looking for the heart of a Saturday night? Yeah, what's your vibe? Brook? God?

I don't know what I um what I do for every project, I always make a soundtrack for a character so that so that I have just something to immerse myself in that puts me in a mood. Um. And we did our show for so long that I made so many I feel like every year I would make

a new playlist. But I think, um, the one that always comes to mind first for me, ah is that song from the Breakfast Club, because we did that in later years where they like, you know, our our director purposefully wanted me to do that eighties Molly Ringwall dance, but do it really badly, and it's become like such a funny thing for people, become an iconic. Yeah. I remember when it first happened. We were like, Wow, you're not a good dancer. I was like, this is on purpose,

this was this was a choice. You're a damn good actor. I'm an actor. Um. Yeah. That that kind of really gets me, especially because our show has become a sort of iconic coming of age story, and that's how I felt as a young actor about The Breakfast Club. It's it's the movie that I have watched probably more than any other coming of age story movie. So it feels fun to have like a little yeah, yeah, that was

super freaking cute. Joy. What's your song, honey? I'm gonna go with Pageant Material by Casey Musgrave, Yes, because I think that fits for Haley. You know, she's like she's in a small town. She really wants to please everybody, and she wants to do what's right and be liked and fit in. But at the end of the day, she's just like, I don't know how to tell you. I ain't pad to material like you, just I am who I am. About her. Did you ever do pageants? Never know? Did you? I did one as a joke.

I did one as a joke. Senior year in high school. My job I was like school president, so I had to read the morning announcements every morning, and so I read this morning announcement that was like contestants for the Miss Loudon County Pageant meet after school on Thursday, and I was like, Miss Loudon County Pageant, I'm for sure doing this. And so I gothed out, like wore the black dress and a lot of heavy eye makeup and went and was like kind of a dick about it.

But I ended up placing third huz um and that's like my big claim to fame. I used to put that on like resumes and stuff. Is like a joke. Third runner up in the Miss loud County padget so much. Hillary's so grumpy thinking about when you say that is the excerpts that you showed us that you people's yearbook from high school, and I'm like the tracks, it's so good.

There's a picture after life with a roar, like a fierceful, run, straight ahead roar, Like that's how you tackle life, and apparently how you've always been doing it, and I just love it's the small town thing where it's just like, oh, we're so bored, We're so bored. What are we going to do this weekend? Well, we could pee on the fifty yard line at the football field, or we could go do a pageant. I love it make poor choices kids. Um, you guys, we should do a pageant. We should do

they they're only for young girls. Why don't we host a forty and fabulous paget forty flirty for what's our forty? Yeah? Fabulous and uh forty and feisty fabulous, fisty done. What are the questions do we have? Um? Oh, this is a funny one, especially when we think about timing of things like email and high school pageants. Sarah wants to know when we see cast members using phones and scenes, are those your actual phones or prop phones? It depends.

They're usually props, but sometimes your phone will fit the same case as the set phone, and then you can switch it out and use your real phone. Oh my god, I could not. You're distracted, but you just turn it off.

I mean, there's just so much sitting around. You end up for like a you know, half hour in between setups and stuff sometimes and it's nice to be able to have your I find just people get in less trouble now on sets, I think because of phones, because before we just used to have to like talk to each other and like make out and make terrible choices. And now you can retreat into your world and like talk to your friends or your manager or like someone

that's going to keep you out of a predicament. Now not as isolated. M hm, you know, we were very isolated. Part though. I don't like having phones on sets, to be honest. It's it's I feel like I much prefer reading a book or talking to people because it really drives me crazy when people are disengaged, because it is

it's a major distraction. You just get on your phone and then like whatever the text message was that you've just received when you're trying to do the scene, that the person is still thinking about or I you know, if I've got my phone, I'm still thinking about what I've got to do when I get off the scene. When I get done with the scene, to get on my phone. So I don't like, I don't like bring

it to set. If I can help it, you know what I'm thinking about that piano, that ragtime music that's happening. I'm trying to mute it. I'm sorry you don't. Is that an actual piano player or is it? No, it's just like coming from the speakers somewhere in the airport. I'm gonna walk, so you guys talking, I'll just keep this rolling. I personally was enjoying it. I'm waiting for Joy to get up and sing along with it and

my um. Okay, So here's a question from Courtney. She says, if y'all could have chosen any guest star to have been on the show like full time, who would that have been? Man Um? I mean that's a hard question because we loved, loved, loved our guest stars. Yeah. Yeah, there's so many avenues, like if we're thinking about mentors, you know, I go back to thinking about Gerald McCraney, thinking about you know, other women we wish we'd had

for longer, obviously Danielle Along. So there's I think Sharon Lawrence, Oh god, how fabulous was Sharon Lawrence? I think if you do a show for as long as we did, yeah, it gets hard. It's like asking I mean, I imagine it's like kind of like asking your parents to pick your favorite child. You're like, but I love him all all my favorites died yea Robbie Jones right, like how great would he guest star? Oh? I felt even real life, but Cheryl Lee was like so dear to me and

loved her so much playing Ellie. Um Colin Ficus, who is one of my dearest friends in real life, who lives up here in the Hudson Valley, Like, what what a layer it would have added to the show to have him from the pilot till Jimmy Edwards death. Maybe like, let's not kill him? How about that? I think Colin added such a good layer to our show. And then yeah, Robbie Jones, Like, guys, everybody leaves or dies, you will always leave. Oh there's a question, Joy, do you have somebody? Sorry?

I saw another question on Twitter? Or not go go for it? So this is interesting on the tropic of leaving God. I don't know why I'm in the mood for a pun this morning, but I got girl, your segways are to today something happening to me. I didn't sleep much last night anyway. Um Tessa is asking what do you think Peyton and Lucas would have done if they had stayed in Tree Hill? Well, the only thing that happens when you're like happily ever after on a TV show and you stay is they have to break

you up, um like to cause drama relationships. So there's drama for the show. Yeah, how can we destroy you guys? And so that's why I was kind of content just to piece out. I don't think there's a chance in

hell that Peyton would have stayed at Tree Hill. I could see Hayley staying, and I could see even Brooke like becoming a really like a pillar member of the community and really investing and just be you know, like falling in love there and getting area to building a life um and or doing her business out of Tree Hill. But Peyton, Yeah, I mean Peyton had the same thing that you have, Hillary, which is what I was just saying,

like running at life full speed with a roar. That that's that was in Peyton too, because you gave that to her, And I just I don't think there's any circumstance that would have kept her in Tree Hill. I can't imagine. It was so weird. We were talking the other day about how our parents totally disengaged because like either production didn't want to pay them or they didn't

think it was important. And for me, thinking about Peyton as being an adopted kid who's last remaining parent, like adopted dad doesn't come to her wedding, doesn't walk her down the aisle, doesn't come to see her baby. It's set such a bad example for adoption. And I think it's like not realistic adopted parents. You know, that's a really sacred thing, and I think most people take it very seriously and we did not depict that well. Um, And so it feels like rejection, do you know what

I mean? And so I feel Hayden a big town full of rejection, right, Yeah, it's a big down full of just like country song in there somewhere girl, it feels big and sad and I can't wait for you in Greenberg to sing that song together. I could see,

I could see Peyton coming back. But there's something about her knee, Yeah, like she could come back and as an adult or like find something new to love and appreciate about the champ And at that age, at that stage, she had to get out, she had to Yeah, I think there's also something um it feels like something of a hero's journey for her, with this set of experiences that she had and this belief. You know, when we think about her art, people always leave and then she

has that, but sometimes they come back peace. It's like, I feel like Peyton needed to leave to see something else aside from the pattern that her life had shown her, you know, to take that control, to to change her own fate too, to become you know, the captain of her ship. And then yeah, if if there's a time that leads her back, you know, to Brooke and Haley,

who are waiting patiently. There was a question that I saw in here that was like specifically about the three of us in real life coming back to Wilmington's and how that feels because in the same way our characters either experienced trauma or good memories in Tree Hill, the three of us also experienced all, you know, the highs and the very lows in Wilmington's. And I know when we go back for conventions, I always feel a little bit wiggily about it. I'm like, oh, who am I

going to see? Where am I going to know? Because it could be awesome or it could also be incredibly awkward. Do you guys feel that way? Yeah, I do a little bit. I've never I mean, I think it's mostly because I was so kind of in my own world. I mean I knew our crew and and like are all of us that were in that little bubble, But um, I didn't make a lot of friends in town because I think I was mostly just on set or at home by myself, because I just didn't want to be

super social. I was already social all day on set and being introverted, it was like a lot for me.

So sometimes when I go back to Wilmington's, I see a lot of people who know who I am and there and they've had the interactions with me at some point, but I don't remember, or like we didn't I didn't spend enough time investing in the friendship or relationship where I really it was just like maybe somebody that worked at a cafe or I mean whatever, And I feel really like, oh my god, I know your face, but I can't remember your name, and I don't remember what

we talked about when we talked. And so if that's always feels a little like I don't know, it makes you self conscious. It feels subconscious because I want people to feel seen and known, and if I feel like I'm in a position where I can do that or make them feel the opposite, I always feel like I have just feel horrible if I can't always remember. We also were working eighteen hour days. Joy like eighteen hours

a day. It was. It was a lot, yeah, And I mean, look, I think that is one of the things that can be weird about what we do is the the sort of uneven seesaw of someone's awareness of who a person is from their favorite show versus what anyone's normal awareness might be of Like I don't know somebody who they see once a week at the grocery store when they grab something, who you high too, but you don't. You don't necessarily know where their kids go

to school or whatever. And so I have that too, that feeling of like I should be better at this, And then I'm like, well, there's no way I can remember. A brain can't remember like two thousand people perfect there were so many nights out in downtown. How could one remember? But I will say it was it was cool to find the friendships that we did, Like you know, Jane

and tricky, especially open the whole world for me. And so when I think about you know, Aaron and Cody and Mary, George and all like all my my local friends there who I still see whenever we go back, um it it feels really special. But yeah, when I, like, you know, run into somebody at the co op who's like, hey, I haven't seen you a while, I'm like, oh no, oh no, oh no, no, I'm sorry, dude. I just kissed so many waiters in town when were And I remember coming back when I was I met with Gus,

when I was pregnant with Gus. You, I mean, the show was still in the air. You guys were still doing it. And I went to the Basics, which was my favorite restaurant downtown. Oh God, I love that place. And I'm like there with my family and this boy that I had, like you know, been kissing the year before walks in and it's like, hey, what's up. And I stood up and he was just like oh. And that feeling of like, yeah, you've been gone, but you've come back and things are very very different now. Um

is always kind of how I feel. It's like the world's moving so fast that every time we check back in with Wilmington's. Like everything's changed, so but it remains a touchstone. It's a good place to to check in with. One of the things I will say that I love is because we've stayed tethered to it, unto each other. I feel like we have done physically with Wilmington's what we've done emotional with our podcast. We've we've gone back and kind of like done the dishes. We continue to go.

We love the places we love, and every time we go back, I feel like I love it more and like I have less of a tremor of what was unpleasant. Yeah, that's right, all right, we got we got a question from Lindsay. This is yeah, I guess that's true. So Lindsay says, when it comes to shooting car scenes, how does that work? Where's the person filming stand when you see cars in the background? Is that real or fake? Like interstate driving? That's a good question. We weren't in

this business, but we wouldn't know that either. Um well, Lindsay, Uh, there's lots of different ways to shoot a car scene. One of them is to actually put a car on a on the on a It's like a flatbed it's called a process trailer. Process trailer, that's right, Yeah, And you just put the car on that and then the cameras kind of like sit on either side of the They just move the camera around the car and then they pull like a truck pulls the car and you

just look like you're driving. Or you can put the car actually on the road and the and the cinema to cinema talking about the camera cameras. Camera sit sit behind you in the back seat and they filmed from behind, shooting the road ahead of you. And then they'll do they'll also do so the car will be on the trailer, which basically looks like a big raft, and the car sits in the middle of it, and the crew is

around the sides with railings to protect them. Um, they'll put crew in the car with you and the car is driving, and then they'll also, Um, there's two other kinds of rigs that are pretty cool. So the car will be on the road and you'll really be driving. And then um, they have there's this like famous car

that some stunt company owns. Um it's a blacked out suv and I think they have three of them now and they cost an absurd amount of money, and they have a techno crane on them that's also blacked out, and so that car can drive next to you and the crane can maneuver the camera from the back of the picture car, which would be the one one of us would be driving like through through you know, down

the side, around the front, over the top. It's like a whole crazy That's how they did for to be Ferrari because that movie blo I know, there was drone shots, and I know there was like you know, some some of it was people on another car, but that was like, yeah, we that's how we used to do like all of our high speed chases in Chicago. And so locating with that car, you can do some pretty insane things if

you have really good drivers. And then the other thing that they'll do too is you'll be on the road, um driving and they'll have like a like a extra a wide um kind of technically outfitted pickup truck that almost has like a stair step on the back of it that a bunch of cameras can sit on, and that'll be in front of you, so they can shoot, you know, from the from the hood through the windshield.

So a driving scene. You know that might be four minutes long, could take all day because you've got to be on the trailer, off the trailer, in the wide shots, in the close ups, or cars on the highway, and you are all picture cars because the thought, right, what is it? Lar? You do it? You say it? Are you trying to? We just cheat it in the studio and tell all the lights. Oh my god, that's the worst. Listen you guys. Joy and I had to do a scene in the comment inside of the studio. So they're

like the driving scenes at night. Okay, it's dark outside. So what they do is they have one grip with like two flashlights run at us like it's headlines. You just get like and then they like circle back and then they came back again and it's just like start going back with a red light so it looks like the break lights in front of you off. And then there's someone else. Then there's greens shaking the bush, taking the cars. There's everyone's they'll be like trees shaken that

you're driving past. But yes, and there's a fan. There's fans in your windows open. You gotta have fans. And then someone will shake the car to there's somebody like just leaning on the back of the car shaking it. So Joy and I were doing this scene one night. It wasn't even night. It was the middle of the day, which is why we were cheating it inside of a big, huge studio. And I'm used to like driving, and I'm

trying to make it seem believable. So I'm doing all the things with my hands, and I'm looking in the rear view mirror and I'm like using my feet on the pedals like one would And because it's a vintage car, it's like very delicate. And when Peyton goes to break, you know, they do this thing where they like rock

the car. So Joy and I both like, you know, lean forward, like we're breaking really hard, and I actually hit the brake, which would turn the tail lights on, and you hear from the back of the car Dacious yelling don't mash the break, don't mash the break, and everyone's thinking he's saying, don't masturbate, and everyone's like what he's saying to these girls said, oh my god, oh my god, I totally forgot about that. For years. For years they'd be like, Hillary, don't mash the breake. Don't

mash the breake whatever. But Jo and I we're just like, go out and drive. That's ridiculous. We could just get this done in ten minutes. Yes, tonight, just drive the

car to a stage. You know what I always love to spot two is in older shows when they clearly shot the scene inside on a green screen of course, and then they just put non thescript city footage in in post and everyone has that little black like pencil outline around them, Dad, and you're just like, why didn't you go outside and just do this on a street? They turned the car and then the street behind them

turns like a half second. No one will notice. Man, that's a good question if there had been a Dawson's Creek O Teach crossover episode. I mean, they're kind of was. Chad and I were both Dawson's together, and James Vanderbyt came on our show. Yeah, James came on our shot. Guys, the world is just so syncd up um. Which characters do you think would have had chemistry love interests with each other? Well, that's fun. I was very dry on Too Busy Phillips when I did guest star on Dawson's Creek.

She's she's got strong, big dick energy. She's a powerful, fun, fun, fun girl. And Peyton would have totally been swept up in her for sure because she's she's fun, she's like a fun magnet. Yeah, totally, And I think Peyton would have would have seen her. I was like, look at all that light. I want that. Yeah, let me in Lucas and had a good, good chemistry. They're both broody and moody and yeah, torture, well that would have been nice.

I as soon as you read that question, I was like, man, and look, I will confess I didn't watch Dawson's Creek all the way through, but in the early days when I did, I my brain immediately thought, oh, Pacy's kind of like the male Brook Davis, Like yeah, yeah, I think with teachers and Pasty what was his last name, Pascy? What was his name with something I don't know, well whatever, uh whatever, jah, Josh Jackson, Can I say that name? I think? I think, yeah, Pascy and Brooke would have

had like very pacy witter here it is. I think they would have had some great chemistry and laughs and like definitely gotten arrested and in real life Josh is such a wonderful man. He's such a committed activist, like the number of like underground, let's work on stuff and really make sure. Um, you know, when there are elections or social issues happening, there's groups of us that are like, Okay, how do we help um? And and he's always first in that, in that group with me, and so it's

really sweet. Every once in a while, you know, we'll be at like a protester and organizing meeting and we're just like, man, I remember what deep little kids we used to be. Now we get out of the world a better place. Um So, so I I feel that there's a real foundation there. I would have liked Yeah, yeah, you guys have been dreaming it was Haley. Who was

Haley dreaming too? I don't know. I mean, I guess Haley probably would have liked Casey too, because I was the only other option really is Dawson And I don't know who else what other guys were on that show because I didn't watch it long. Karl Smith was a babe, but he didn't like girls, right, didn't he come out? Yeah? Yeah that's right? Yeah? But did he come out right away? Yeah?

Try that sounds like something Haley would have attempt. That does sound like something Haley would have done, because Dawson feels like it would have been too much, too similar. I think Dawson is too similar to Lucas, like the same side of magnets. You'd be like, yeah, exactly, exactly. That was a fun question. I liked that one a lot. All right, we got time for one more. Let's one more hit us did. Oh, this is kind of fun.

Andreas says. Whenever you GIRs did scenes on camera with a rival, in an argument or a fight scene with another actor, is there any pre briefing conversations of I hope you know I love you and I don't mean anything of what I'm about to say or do. It's really cute, like Meryl Streep did with the films that did with vant Hathaway before Devil wors Brought Us started.

Have you heard this story? She said her down. They went out for a drink and she was like, I'm going to treat you very badly for the next three months. I just want you to know. Don't take it personally. But yeah, that's really that's really smart. Um No, I don't think we had We never did have those because we all just hung out. You know, we all kind of liked each other and we're nice to each other. So I don't I think that's just part of the business. You just kind of grow up. No, I mean that

you're just doing the work. You don't take it personally. I think more than anything, at least, I know, I do this like if I have to fight with one of you or even on you know, good Sam, like me and Sky have had to have these you know, ram smashing sort of scenes all year and every time we do the rehearsal and then we have to actually you know, set up the scene right after rehearsal. My go to is always, oh, I don't like this. I don't like yelling at you. I don't like you. You know.

I think there's a natural inclination with your friends to say, like, this feels weird. But it's also our job. Rehearsal is a big important part of it though, I mean, yes, because you're actually working together to solve the puzzle. So and the audience that's just that's right. Yeah, the audience is just seeing the final they're just seeing a fight

with the two characters that they love. But that's our job is to go in and piece everything together, so you're really working with the other person to choreograph this moment. So it's actually, in a weird way, you don't feel like you're fighting at all. You feel like you're dancing, You're you're doing something together. You know, well, not always.

I don't know. Have you guys ever been on the other side of it, where like the other person's the alpha on the set and you're the one that's like getting yelled at and they don't do that thing of okay, this is hey, do you want to talk in between setups? They're just like okay, go back to your corner, and you're like, yeah, I have I don't like that. It doesn't feel good. I won't say what job it was, but boy, did it suck. I'm gonna tell you later.

I'm you tell us after this podcast. Yeah. I think for whatever reason, my brain is also thinking now as we talk about this, about when you have to do um, not just arguments but actual physical fights, how important rehearsal is to figure out how you're going to do that, how you're going to take care of each other. God, I wish I knew were the outtakes were hill. Was it season three where we gotten fight on Payton's front lawn? Oh my god when you got hurt. Yeah, we did

it over and over and over again. And you know those season four season four soul you know we were we were fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting and

screaming and crying and doing all these things together. And then it was just one take where like, I don't know, we twisted the opposite way we twisted the sixteen time before it, and it was your elbow in my skull and it was a whole moment and I just remember like falling over and you falling on top of me, going oh no, no, no, no, no no. That was really scary. It was scary. But I there's something that's also so sweet about the immediate stop and hold and

hug and like, oh my god, are you okay? Are you okay? That actors you for each other, um, because sometimes, yeah, sometimes you'd get hurt and it's not obviously on purpose. Um. Remember when I was making the Hitcher with Sean Bean and he was like literally trying to murder me and in the middle of I mean, he would be like literally beating the crap out of me throwing me around like a rag doll, and I would never know when

it was coming. But in the middle of a scene he'd always paused, and you know, he had it was like really gravelly, formable American accent voice, and then he would pause and go, oh you okay, darling, you're right, okay, okay to three, and then he'd like snap, my, you know, my face in a different direction, and I was like, God, what a gentleman you are. It's funny to think that the people at home never get to see, you know, those little moments we get to the sweetness. It's all sweet,
