One Tree Thrill (Part 6)

all so much for sending in your questions. These are so fun to open. Yeah, I mean, honestly, it feels like getting past notes in class. But we would have to what was the little thing that you would be and then you know, flip back and forth, square thing you had to answer notes, your notes. Your kids even still do this. Oh, mash, yep, mash, that's what it was. Mash. That was fun. I like these questions kind of like feels like that. Yeah, it's like we're playing mash with

all you guys. You guys. I actually really love this question because we talked about this today. Loma asks as you've rewatched as you've reached season three in your rewatch, have you guys started to skip the opening credits or do you still watch and sing along? I don't watch the opening credits of any show. Yeah, we skipped. When we watched the first episode of season three, we actually missed the skip intro button and we had to watch the intro. We did sing a little, but we did

we I think, for for posterity's sake, we did. Okay, hold on this forec I do love our intro song. But have you guys heard this thing on TikTok this girl singing our theme song but with different lyrics. No, Oh my gosh, I'm going to this. It is so immage here and I love it um and I've had people send it to me so many times. Hold on, I gotta just bear with me for a moment. I saw this and thought it's pretty funny. Okay, how I gotta make sure my phone volume is up now? God,

feel like Grandma. Okay, I don't want to be crying and thinking Amazon and I bought it and I want to thinking amazing about it. And I can't hear what they're saying. She's saying, She's saying, I don't want to be crying and puking and pissing and okay, I'm sending this to you and to the both of you right now. But I just love the people know they know, they're like, Hillary is gonna love this. So now, whenever I hear a theme song, this is what I think of. That's

what you think of. I love that from MICHAELA. If you could choose one character from One Tree Hill to do a spinoff, who would it be? And why? Um I spin there's a lot of God, we had so many great characters who would have had a fun spinoff. I have my answer. Now tell me prequel Ellie Harp, Yes, sexy time mid eighties. Yep, that's it done, because that's it. Yep, that's what I want to see. That would be so fun. Actually, I love prequels and a great era like them on

the road playing music, being sexy. She gets pregnant, he's a yeah, he's just a degenerate and he doesn't help her, and she's like, I'm on drugs. You know. I would love to see all the parents in that era. Kevin Kilner, m m M all right, okay, yeah. I would also just love a good eighties drama. I want more of that, like that episode of Black Mirror, Sanjo and Apparel, which was like eighties but also futuristic, and the time Jumping Crazy. I want a whole series of that. That was a

really good episode. Um, we have a question from Jess. Jess wants to know what cast members had the best dinners after work and what were their go to dishes. We weren't old enough to cook yet, No, we were. We could order. Yeah, I don't know that we were at dinner party age, but we I mean we haunted Deluxe that those two places Man the Beef Wellington at Circa I was obsessed with. I would get the filet with crab that was Rember. They like, that was so fancy.

They put crab on it. It probably came out of a jar. No, I'm sure it didn't. Um. Deluxe had a good steak, they had a good fish. They always I loved going there. That was what we did, though we didn't really like throw. I mean I would attempt to cook sometimes. Well, we worked eighteen hours a day. Yeah, that was tough. It wasn't. We didn't. It was That's kind of the last thing you want to do after you work a long day, is go home and cook something.

As much as I would love to be Audrey Hepburn, who makes you know, fifty pounds of spaghetti for an entire crew full of people, I just I was exhausted. I couldn't do it. You know what I would do when I looked about fire Belly when we first started Joy, I would just stock my fridge with liquor. And and I was not a drinker, so I didn't know like what you're supposed to drink at different hours, and so I was drinking bloody Mary's at like eleven o'clock at night,

and like who wants a bloody man cute? And everyone was like a blood Mary's like a meal sort of. Bloody mary is like an air that is just an airplane airport drink. I don't know what else you use that for. I love them, I guess yeah, I can drink them at eleven o'clock at night. No. I feel like Sophia through a couple of parties that were great, and she always had like charcuterie, like soup's real good. Like putting a board together, Um, yeah, that takes time

and talent. You gotta learn how to find the right things. And yeah, she's definitely one of those people knows how to just with it right, got to mix the colors up that stuff. You know what I love is that Quinns paste. I discovered that in Wilmington's. It's a little uh you'll see it in cheese shops. It's comes in a usually in a square jar or square thing and it's like a pink looks like pink gelatin, but it's

quince jam basically, but it's thicker than jam. It's between a gelatin and a jam, but it's not like jello. It's harder. Um, I don't know it's quince paste. It's paste, but it's made out of quast and it's yummy on crackers and cheese. You know what we had in Wilmington's that was the first time experience. Um. That I loved is that our crew members would have oyster roasts and I had never been to one of those, and I always felt like a big dummy because I was like,

I don't know what to do. Um. But they would have like big fire pits with a big grate and they would put all the oysters on there and then they know, pop open when they're ready to go. That was cool. That was a cool cultural thing to get into. So fun. There's so many things about living in the South that I just adored. Okay, let's see jing as was what was the best lesson? Were we about to

ask the same questions drawn to the same question. Yeah, um, they asked, what was the best lesson you learned from your experience on the set of One Tree Hill? So

many things. Oh my gosh, I think a lot. I mean a lot of the lessons that we learned were just set behavior and um, you know, hanging up your wardrobe when you're done at the end of the day, and your trailers so they don't have to follow you around and look for your socks, and you know where do you throw the shirt, and and you know, being on being there, on time, being you know how to behave even the little things like don't um stand behind the camera, don't if you if you are behind the camera,

don't move around, don't watch the person who's performing. There's so many technical things that are such an it's an invaluable lesson to be able to be on a show for that long and learn all these little things so that when you move on to other jobs. They know that you're a pro. They know you can just pick right up where everybody else is. Yeah, it's a metaphor. All that stuff that you said, Joy is a metaphor for understanding that there's always someone there earlier than you,

and there's always someone there later than you. And if you move through the world understanding that other people are working harder than you, it makes you respect everyone around you, regardless of what profession you work in. UM. Absolutely, yeah. I think it really boils down to courtesy and respect

and professionalism. Set a bar. You know. One of the things I love about all of us is, UM, the best of our experiences on this show taught us to be good producers and good team players, and we set a standard of excellence and that is meant to you know, motivate and challenge us and those around us. Lets everybody know they're going to be respected in a space. And

I love that. Like I, I want to set a high bar and then I want to learn stuff I don't know every day when I strive to hit it and showing up curious and uh and humble, I think is a was a really big deal as a professional industry. Agree what a question Caitlin asks, do you have any outfits from the show that you kept. What I've Yeah, I've got some shirts and oh you know what I do. I sleep in that. Remember when we went to honey Grove and we were on the bus. There's a long

sleeve T shirt. What the hell is the band? Is it like a led Zeppelin shirt or something. Oh, I sleep in it like once a week, and I forget that it was on the show. But it's got like holes and ship in it now. But yeah, it was like super soft it. Oh. I love that. I kept a lot of stuff, but not like I don't know if I still have any. Oh I do, Yeah, closet a storage units. I have two bins. Yeah, I've got

two bins of one driel stuff in valley. Um. I have my cute little vintage Piette dress also from how You Growth? I have Um, I don't remember. Oh, yeah, I don't. I took stuff like at the very end. Um, I've got like when Brooke had that crazy storyline. I guess it would have been like season six with creepy Savior. Yeah. I was wearing this like cool sort of metallic striped sweater in the parking garage. But because I had to get thrown on the ground so many times, they bought

a bunch of them. So I have like three of them because I think I intended on like doing a giveaway at one of our first conventions, but then I couldn't come because I was stuck in Chicago. So I just like have these sweaters I've never given anyone um. And I have Brooks like photo album that she goes through on her birthday. I have just like a bunch of little cute things. I have the the white shirt that I wore in the last episode on the beach.

You know that great outfit. Yeah, the best that I wish you had that whole outfit, I know, But that white shirt was actually mine and I remember bringing it in because I did a fitting and nothing that they had I just didn't like any of it. And I was like, I was trying to explain what I wanted, and I think they had brought in a bunch of like white tanks, but they were kind of that thick ribbed material and I was like, hang on a second.

I either it was in my car I went home and got it or something, but I brought that in and we were like, I was like, let's just throw abroad or this and do this, and so we kind of put it all together. But I mean, that was my my personal best outfit ever. I love this. You were the one that was like, this is how we're going to orchestrate this. Um, Jenny wants to know out of all the Tree Hill parents, who offered the best advice.

Everybody gave great advice. Honestly. Yeah. I mean Moira for me, I've already talked about how she was like run when she got really bad for me. Um, and I liked that she was giving advice to me, not to It wasn't Karen giving advice to Peyton Sawyer. It was like, hey, I care about you, I don't care about the job. You know. We were lucky that we had those people. Paul was that way too. Paul is always looking out

for us, always you know, looking to help out. And UM, I do love that about him that he's you know, he's he's rough around the edges. And that's kind of part of the charm too, is that he just will say what he's he'll say it, and sometimes it you know, it's it's a little like, oh God, your bedside manner could use a little you know, like that was ol but it doesn't make it untrue. It's just you know, and and you know, you got to earn a tougher

skin sometimes. But I could always count on him to say the truth of what the situation was and um. And there are many times when he knows exactly how to catch things and you know, wait and kind of pull you aside or whatever. UM. So that was really great. Barbara was also a wonderful person to talk to. It. I mean, Barbara was there when I had to put

my cat down. I called her because I didn't have a mom in a presence there in Wilmington's at all, and so she was I was like, I called her, and she came over and sat with me when the vet came over. And she was always somebody that I could just go and just snuggle with. And I don't know, I just felt like she was looking out for all of us big time. You know. Barbara is um one

of the first people that knew I was pregnant. She with gus because when she was pregnant with Olivia, she had to go get her amnio done and she asked me to drive her and to go with her to that appointment, and so I felt so honored and I was like, oh my God, like okay, yeah, And that was in my last season on the show. And so I went with her to this this baby doctor and knew it was like super high tech and like fancy,

but I didn't know anything else outside of that. It was just like Barbara's going to the best doctor in Wilmington's. So when I got pregnant, I sent her an email and I was like, Hey, remember that doctor that we went to when you were having a baby, Like if I had a friend who was having a baby, what was that doctor's name? And she's like, well, you can tell your friend that was, you know. And they gave me the information and was so cool and kind of

coy about it. You're right, like Barbe to me, barb was always more like big sister energy than parent energy. Yeah, she was a cool girl. Yeah, she's got a lot on her plate all the time. But she's one of those people that I could I feel like I could always call her no matter what. If I haven't talked her in two three years, I could still just pick up the phone and be like, Babs, I need you

and she's right there. Do you remember when we announced to the cast that we were doing this podcast and she was the first person that wrote back and was like, oh, ray, I can't wait. Flooded our text box, our Instagram's everything, just I'm so so excited for you girls. Way to go, so proud of you. I'm gonna call her right now. I love her. Thank you Jenny for reminding me how much I love Barbara Allen Woods. Um, Clara wants to

know what's the shooting locations. If the shooting locations are real? Locations are on the stage, so many Yeah, like Peyton's room, Haley and Nathan's apartment, Karen's cafe. What's a good question. So Karen's Cafe is a real location. Um, it is a storefront on the corner of Front and Grace Streets in Wilmington's And I mean god, we rented that for nine years. We just I guess we leased it. How crazy. But then Peton's room and Haley and Nathan's apartment we

built those on stages. But Peyton's room was tied into a very real house. Yes, Peyton's house and Haley's house, the exteriors are right across the street from each other, and everything in Peyton's house had to match what was on the stage, so like the stairs had to be the same, the hallway had to be the same, especially when we got into later seasons where I was like,

you know where we were fighting Psycho deeric Um. You had to be able to go from doing a scene in the house two three days later shooting the same exact sequence but the second half of it on the stage in the room, which could get super confusing. But what I will say is that the guy who lives in Peyton's house, Um, we just watched an episode where Peyton is like screaming at her dad and they're like

flying out of the back the back door. They had just had a baby, and we like, this baby needed a nap, and we're like salam indoors and stuff, and I'm so apologetic, And his in laws were over, So every time I would have to be like, god, dad, you're like the word first and slam the doors and running the house. His whole family was sitting in the kitchen because they were all there to see the new baby, and I'd have to be like hi, guys, Hi guys. So the duality of like playing house with people and

uh screaming. That's the best part about shooting on a real location. It's real life. Yeah, yeah, it feels real. It actually helps. I love the feeling of being in a real space because it helps me connect because it's real. You know, a set is always going to feel like a set, and you can find your way into the reality of the moment. But it does help to have a very actual, real space around you. For me, it does. Yeah, me too. It really helps you suspend your disbelief. Yeah,

thank you guys so much. Keep them coming because um, I like doing these. What a blast. Yeah, hey, thanks for listening. Don't forget to leave us a review.
