And I don't know if you looked at the internet, but they were like wearing weird clothes and, like, talking trash and so here we are dressed up as homecoming queens and they're back these clowns these clowns so as children all across america celebrate homecoming this weekend we've been seeing all the pictures on facebook all our friends kids we're celebrating a little homecoming of our own and we are bringing out our homecoming dates it is they're so cute robert buckley and tyler hilton come out get out here Just bring them out! Get out here to you too! Oh, yeah!

Give these boys their flowers out! Listen, Tyler! Listen, Tyler, Listen, Tyler normally only comes out when it's time to sing a song, but he's so funny, and he only gets the last one. and he only gets the last four minutes of the show and we're just like, fuck it, we're not playing by the rules. Come out. You guys.

You're so lucky to have these three gorgeous dates tonight. I know. Look at these girls. How beautiful are they? Oh my God. It is like homecoming. Did you guys go to homecoming? Yes.

Together. Rob asked me in the courtyard. I got a pizza and with the pepperonies I spelled out, will you? Stop. And then on the second pizza said Homecoming, question mark, because they ran to pepperonies and couldn't finish the rest of the message. That's the most Rob way I've ever heard.

We got some adorable photos, guys. You didn't really do that. No, I was kidding. I didn't invite Tyler to Homecoming. We didn't go to the same school. No. We'll take the picture later. You thought he did that for a girl?

Yes. Because, like, no one loves food more than Rob Buckley. No. My man loves hot dogs, churros. We established all this. What did you do today? What damage? Hold on, real talk though.

If I had actually done that, can you imagine by the time that those pizzas got to the girl, there would just be like four slices and it would just be like you, question mark? She'd be like, what the hell is this? It was a sweet message behind it before I had 35 minutes in the car with these pizzas. Sorry. Today, I just ate. I landed, got to the airport, and then was like, you would have thought I was like ordering insulin on Uber Eats

because I was like, got to get a pastrami, got to get some juices, got to get a smoothie. We got off the plane today. We're like on our way to baggage. Rob's like, do you want to like grab a sandwich

or a jamba juice? And I was like on the way to a baggage? He's like, yeah, we'll just, you know. Rob, we have this. Great idea though. Because I'm like,

I'm, I build my whole world around food. Yeah. Like are you, do you get cranky if you don't eat? Oh, sure. Because I'm like a, like, seriously.

I'm like up our, we have a, a, a DQ assistant backstage who's been super helpful in this show but every time she says there's food on the way I'm like what does that mean yeah what is that like on the way

45 10 5 I need to know what expectation to give my stomach because I'm gonna get angry she needs an estimate today it was like 4 p.m. I was like okay I have to leave for the show in 4 hours how much sodium and starch can I eat before I go on stage and literally so it was like I went

and Kazu Nore and got hand roll I stopped for like a slice I got the stupid tourist like sweet nuts on the corner He bought nuts off the street Yeah He did Hey guys

This was embarrassing I went to two nut carts Because the first nut card I went to I realized I didn't have cash And I was like I felt like it was the universe telling me like Bro don't buy a $3 bag of nuts

On the street with a credit card So I was like all right I won't do it And then the next block still smelled great And I was like all right I guess God wants me to have sweet nuts Rob, I was telling these kids about all the trouble. Well, we, honestly, we all, but particularly I used to get into in the city.

And remembered that my friend, who I used to get into trouble with, who's here, the three of us had a late-night food adventure at the classic Cats' Deli. What? Oh, yeah. Back in the day when Rob was working on lipstick jungle, we all wound up at some party together. And Alicia and I were like, we got to go get a pastrami. It's 2.30 in the morning, and we're ready for a second dinner. And you were like, where are you going? And I was like, we're going to be friends.

Yeah. And we took you to the deli. Yeah. Is that how you guys met? Uh-huh. Wait, did we eat there twice in? Because we also ate there one morning. Is that we all go back the next day?

I remember specifically you and I meeting up there at like 11.30 in the morning. Yes, because nobody else wants to go to the deli for breakfast with us. Yeah. Yeah. And Katz is the best because you can be like, I'll have a sandwich. Probably should pair that with, you know, some. I should get a matzabal soup. Yeah.

Yeah, some matzabal soup. You know what I mean? My brain does this game. Do you guys have this where like you look at a menu? And I think a normal person would go like, that dish looks nice. I'll have that. Maybe with a small salad or something. My brain goes, what if this is the last time we're ever here?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need to try all of the good shit. It's immediately like how many of us are there? Five. Okay, well, what if we got seven entrees? And we split and then everybody got a box a leftovers for tomorrow. It's really actually very economical. Because then you don't have to pay for postmates delivery fees twice, right?

Take her everywhere. I'm going to go get some dinner. It's like anticipatory fomo. Yeah. I'm like, I'd hate to wake up tomorrow wondering what that lava cake tasted like. Probably only one way to knit this in the bud. We're staying for dessert. What is it like traveling through the airport with Robert Beckley?

We were just talking about food from the gate to the baggage claim. And then we're like, no, we actually had like the best time. I feel like I was telling Rob, I feel like we've almost become best friends for like 10 years. And then I was like, finally this trip, we have the opportunity to like talk nonstop. We've just been hanging. It's so fun. You guys didn't get to work on the show together. Yeah.

I mean, I feel like we really missed out on some epic. I know. We were the Will Day. We deserve this humor. Yeah. If we film it now, it'll just feel like an extra chapter. But we didn't have any, we didn't hang out. Did we end the show?

There was any Clay Chris episodes we forgot about? No. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I like this. I like this. Did you hear that shit? That happened? No, she's pitching.

Come on. Did you see our chemistry when we walk on our stage? By the way, this is the perfect way to pitch your ideas in the industry. Come to a live recording and pitch them mid-sentence. Go for it. way, it's a pretty good idea. Yeah. We are taking that.

Listen, yeah, you didn't write it down, did you? Fuck, damn it. Okay. Copyright, 2002. Thank you. Thank you so much. The boys are backstage trying to pitch us a podcast of their own. Hear us out.

Tell us all about it, boys. Before you boo at New York, would you at least hear us out? We've worked hard on this. And by hard, I mean like 45 minutes of a flight. Okay. You're going to freaking love. I love this title, New York. All right, but is there a theme song that comes in?

What's the theme song, Tyler? TBD, TBD. Are you gonna do? Let's not rush that, TBD. We can't let it all out. The name though is like, it's novel, it's like it's catchy, it's quick, you're gonna love it. Ready?

Shh, quiet New York. Drama Kings. Drama Kings. Yeah. It's actually drama kings twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You whisper it the second time. We were playing with Coatail Kings,

but we decided Drama Kings, just keep it simple, might be the vibe. It's cleaner. People know what they're getting. And what our podcast is, is we listen to episodes of their podcast, and then we review them reviewing One Tree Hill. Yeah.

That's a niche. That's a niche. There are people here that want that. Let's give them what they want, guys. What was the thing you said? In one of the early seasons, I'm like a mystery wrapped in a riddle or a riddle or a bitch. Something in a bitch. It's kind of, it's a podcast wrapped in a podcast.

It's an Easter egg is what it is. Oh. For the OG fans. Do you know there's another, there's another Easter egg on this set tonight? Does anybody know what? Thank you. She caught it. Past.

I didn't even finish the sentence and you had an answer. You were at the first show, weren't you? Sophia searched for this thing. I mean, go ahead. Well, the vintage couch in Karen's Cafe was very important to all of us because we would have to sit there for days and days and days.

And Sophia has literally scoured the internet just like, I'm going to find it. So... I've moved on from all the American websites and I've started searching foreign countries and I'm having no luck and I will speak into existence in this room. I need all of you to put

your good energy on this, that whoever you are out there who's hiding that couch, I will find you. It's a nefarious. And it will be mine. And by mine, I mean, ours. Right? The comet's in Australia. So it legitimately

could be anywhere. It could have left the country on a boat and I'm going to bring it back. I swear to God, it is sitting in the basement of one of our sound guys or some like grip was like, yeah, I'll take a right couch. And his kids are sleeping on it. I said, It's Carmen San Diego.

It's like, where in the world is Karen's Cafe's Red Couch? It's on the Great Wall of China. Okay. Boys, if you are going to pitch a podcast, are you going to bring all the same guests that we've had on to talk about us? By the way, we weren't going to pitch this in the middle of the show, but after they started pitching ideas, I felt like the door was open. Well, yeah, opened up the door, but here's what I can tell you.

We did the first show with the fabulous Daphneu Zaniga and Barbara Allen Woods. And we go backstage, and within, like, 20 seconds, we'd lost our friends. And they were just, like, off in the corner with the cute boys. And they're just like, oh, sorry, we're here. Is that hard on you? It's exhausting. Just the charisma. This stubble is no accident.

No, I'm kidding. I was just like, hey, I have some gum, and they came over to the corner. I was like, now that you're here, can I tell you about myself? You know. Did you see Spaceballs growing up like we did? Yeah. No, I didn't. What?

No. Tyler, Princess Vesbo was my mom. Princess Vesbo. I don't know this movie. Stop. No, you know that those movies are embarrassing. Let's not shame him. You're right.

This is our opportunity to educate him. Okay. Can we shame him a little? It's Spaceball. Tell me about Spaceballs. I saw the beginning. I think I've fallen asleep during it at a sleepover. No.

So I don't know the whole movie, but I'm okay here's the gist she's real hot she's pretty lippy and she's definitely a drama queen before the drama queens existed so she's like OG and she was all like

oh who are these boys and how come I didn't get to play with them on the show which she was here yeah she was just here you just missed her yeah you missed her it's because she was in the corner with rub chewing gum that's right that's right darn right she was so he figured out how to steal her from you I was drinking sparkling water alone

wondering where everybody was and they were all hanging out with Rob. Are you writing a new song about our journey on this podcast tour? Yeah, I want to write a song about these three queens in an RV because it is the funniest thing. These guys, did you post anything? That country song writes itself, man.

That is so good. The dairy queens or something? You guys should do a single and you should wear these outfits in front of the RV and that should be your album cover, I think. That would be the other. No, we're going to wear these outfits every day from now. And then should we get matched?

Maybe we'll get matching. No, they've got full length ones too. I have like ball gown versions. Love it. Did they ask you to write original music for the show? Tyler? Do you remember? Was it like you just brought in what you had

or were they like, we need a song for this? No, no, yeah, I brought in what I had. Yeah, that's right. And they were really cool about just kind of writing around it. You know, like they, initially I got brought on because they were looking for a musician to kind of guest star for an episode or two. So it's supposed to be like Butch Walker or Matt Nathanson,

some older guy to come in. And then they cast me and I was younger than everybody. And they were like, hey. Hold on real quick. Did anyone in the audience know what either of those two names were? Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Oh, no. I don't. I don't either. You're both so good. Yeah. I'm sure they're great. You guys, I live in a fucking bubble. I don't know anybody is.

Oh. You are on MTV. Girl. She said Hillary is on TV. She called you. Oh, that's so good. I love the New York audience. Those boys weren't really on MTV.

Because there's a level of heckling in the New York audience. That we didn't get for Boston. But here's what's up. I read Q cards. Yeah. Also, it's a Vina's birthday. She can be an asshole, but not you, whoever that was. It's her day, not yours.

J.K., you're not a asshole. We're happy here. Wait, wait. You wrote your own music? Yeah, and so then they brought me on because they liked my song, like, I guess, better than theirs at the time or something. So I just came on to play my stuff, and they kept kind of. But you had also two episodes. You had also just come off of cash, right?

What was the movie called? Walk the Line. He played Elvis and Walk the Line if you all haven't seen that and did a great job. And so it was a big deal. You were like a hot young thing, man. Coming in. It was very... Still is.

Still is. Yeah, still is. I was. No, I don't. You know what I mean. No, no, for sure. His hotness is eternal. No, I was, like, so scared and because I felt so out of place on this show.

And I swear to God, these people were so nice to me, day one. I literally became best friends with everyone within the first week. Like, I didn't know how to stand on a mark. I didn't know. For some reason, during Walk the Line, they cast a bunch of musicians who had never acted before. So we were let off the hook with everything. They were like, whatever. These guys don't know what they're doing.

On one tree hill, there's all these beautiful people standing around in beautiful lights, and they all are so professional, and they were so patient with me. Oh, my God. And so the two episodes turned into, you know, episodes and episodes, and then I never wanted to leave. It was, like, the best time of my life, so. We were, yes. I think, like, it's so easy to be patient with someone.

You were so eager, and you were also so, you were just so nice about everything. And so you were patient with our process and everything, too. Because, I mean, we had people come in who were not nice about, who didn't know exactly the same things that you didn't know, but also weren't nice about it. And it's just so much harder to be patient. You don't help those people. You're like, shadow on your face sucks.

Yeah. But it's a good, like, it's true in life, you know. Like, no matter what job you're in, just if you don't, know exactly what you're doing, ask a lot of questions and be really nice and humble about it and people want to help you. But, you know, I think the, like, what we would run into with people,

sometimes people would come on the show and then they would kind of posture, like they wanted to present like they knew what they were doing. Oh, you mean a bunch of pretty young people? You know, like it happened. We're like peacocking. Yeah, yeah. So it's like, it's just a little bit harder to, because it's like, you appreciate the eagerness of that. We've all been

on a lot of jobs and we've made friends during those jobs, but like, not to be like cheesy, but I feel like we were meant to be friends. Like, we became friends so quick and have stayed friends for so long, like, we don't do it within the show? You know what I'm saying? Like, this is, like, I'm different.

Oh, God, do you think our other shows are jealous? Do they have this, but not with us? Maybe. With each other and we're not invited to that party? Like, do they have pool parties together and we don't get invited? Because they're like, they're going to the One Tree Hill pool party. Yeah, what's the Friday Night's cast doing right now?

Are they like, are they, like, close? Do they love each other? I don't know. I just picked a show out of that. We're the best friends that ever best did in the whole while. We're the three plus two best friends that there ever were. Isn't that that song?

We're the three best friends, the one from... Hangover. Hangover? Yeah. But it also is a... I wanted to say it and I was like, don't leave them out. It's a triangle. You're right.

No. Guys, it just comes out of me and not even on purpose. She's in my brain. Guys, do you want Tyler Hilton to sing a couple songs for us? See? Like the right thing to do. Fine. Fine.

Fine. perform for us. Hey guys, wait, Danielle, don't run away. Daniel, come here. Come here, come here. Before Tyler sings, come out here. Let everyone say hi to you guys. This is Danielle.

Oh, hi, Daniel. Daniel produces our podcast with us. Anytime, yes, anytime we don't know something and we ask a question and then miraculously we go, oh, here it is. It's because she has sent us. the answer to our question in the chat of our Zoom. So she's the reason our show happens.

Thank you. Thank you for the answers and for Tyler's guitar. He's going to need it. All right. What are you going to sing, babe? I was like, should I sing like... Y'all are so bossy. Let him have his own money for a moment.

You know what I'll do? Because I haven't done this for any other shows. I'll do the first. song ever sang on Wontree Hill now that we're like... Oh, Tyler! I don't want to be... No, sorry. You know what, I just learned the lyrics of that chorus finally.

I did, I was like, I don't want to be... I'm a do... I know what I'll try to be a late now. And then I just... All right, here we go. I love you go! Yeah! All right.

All right, so here's the song I auditioned with or whatever. Everywhere you go, perfection, or follows you the wrong direction. You will never see it for. You get all that you need. more you see it you want it and find it it's yours but you can't say what you want to take what you want or choose the moves that you fake when you want you said your life couldn't get much better than where you're at Yeah, and aren't you this? Remind me a homecoming story after this.

Yeah, baby. Take us to dance. I actually, like, wrote this about a girl I said, don't know. I can't just remember that, I swear to God. That's how I was like, don't fucking let me forget. You have me on a fight? Except, I wonder if she listens to the podcast.

She's listening going, don't she fucking dare. And on your list of things that two is make me fall. love with you you find one you want one I'm one who plays yeah but you can't say what you want or take what you want or choose the moods that you know when you want you said your life couldn't get much better where you're at Yeah, yeah But you can't say what you want to take what you want on

Oh rest and wake Then in a way that you want You said your life needed something special But sugar here I am Yeah, yeah And aren't you glad? On to get, on to get. On to play, on to get, on to get.

When I sing that song like my first day on my first day on. When I sing that song like my first day on set or so and I'd like sit on the stage I didn't know any of the girls and I think the scene was literally you two in the audience looking at me as I sang the song it was so nerve-wracking yeah we were into it dude Sophia and I are literally sitting here we're like how come none of us kissed him nobody literally nobody we kissed everybody how got you listen man you dodged a bullet and now you can all see why Chris Keller did more

than two episodes of One Tree Hill. Yeah! He locked it up on the first day, guys. How cool is this? Ooh. Well, I heard another request out there, and I'm going to... It's very rare that I get to do this next song. I feel like with my partner, so I'm going to go ahead and do this a little bit.

Do it! All right, if you guys know this song, sing it with us here. I'm going to twist my arm. I got to pee. Are you okay? So nervous. Get it, Mama. Get it.

You did you? Let's go faster. Dancing where the stars go blue. Dancing where the evening fell. Dancing in my wooden shoes. in a wedding gown. Who has wetting, wooden shoes? I don't know.

Dancing out on 7th Street in my wooden shoes. Wooden wetting. Dancing through the underground. Sounds dangerous. Dancing little marionette. Are you happy now? Where do you go when you're lonely? Where do you go when you're blue?

Where do you go when you're lonely? I follow you when the stars go blue When the stars go blue They're laughing with your pretty mouth Laughing with your broken eyes Who's got broken eyes? I don't know A 2020 vision

Love us tongue in a lullaby Where do you go when you're lonely? Where do you go when you're blue? Where do you go when you're lonely? I'll follow you. Where do you go when you're lonely? Where do you go when you're blue?

Where do you go when the stars go blue? Thank you guys. I love you guys. Thank you. Joy land. It may look different, but Native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture. It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel

oddly, like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for a kind of two years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taylor Ornellis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history. On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story, along with other native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con or the importance of reservation basketball. Every day, native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sageburn Bridges on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi. Nine times out of 10, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why? Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies. It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory. Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre? Bad faith political warfare, and frankly, bullshit. We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. You put two and two together.

Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy? Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the life. last 20 years. I'm Leon Nefok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries. This is Fiasco, Benghazi. What difference at this point does it make? Yeah, that's right. Lock her up.

Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Man. Listen, I love the banter. Like, I want that every time you guys sing that song. Tell me a story. Guys, I don't know what's getting into us and the she's like, I can't even talk to.

The second show. She turned into Sean Connery. In the second show. The second show. Y'all started laughing. We started laughing. Church giggles. No.

And then I looked over. And Rob was sitting like this. Just looking like a proud dad. And we, I literally was like, look over my shoulder, look over my shoulder. And we just died. You just looked so enamored. Over there in your sweater. It was all like.

slow motion soft focus. I was just, I don't know whether I was falling in love or I was proud, but it was a real nice moment. Where do you go when the stars go blue, Robert? I mean, I get my wooden shoes on and I let them take me where they take me. Wooden shoes sound really uncomfortable. It's honestly such a weird line now that you've pointed it out.

Is it a song about clocks? They're talking about marionettes too. My mom knew someone who was Dutch and once sent me a pair of wooden shoes. But obviously nobody wears them. I feel like those are decorative, right? Yeah. I mean, I tried them on, but they didn't feel very nice.

No, you're just to hang them on the kitchen wall. Yeah. It's like a, you know. Right? Trinket. I mean, did people used to wear wooden shoes? Surely, yes. They wore them actually in the tulip fields

because your feet would sink into the mud. Oh, is that why? Yes, I'm touched. Oh, my God. Did you hear that? Wait, really? You're serious? Wait, I was always like, why would they were

wouldn't choose. It's so impractical. And then Hillary busts this shit out. I'm so culturally naive. Wait, wait, wait. None of that seemed real to me. You're obviously pulling his leg, right? No. In the tulip trade, you have to have, like, a lot of water.

You know how you put bulbs in water? Yeah. Okay, there's a lot of water. Amsterdam's all, like, you know, canals and things. And so it's muddy and you have to wear shoes that are basically boats on your feet so you don't sing it to the mud. I was today years old. Wood absorbs water. Guys, you know what this is?

Science. We've done it. We're at NYU. We've got it again. Yes, we do. Okay, but wait, all jokes about shoes aside. I have a question about the first song. I'd like to know who you wrote it about.

Who did you take to Homecoming? You're not going to get away without telling us that story. Once I said that, I was like, uh-oh. Okay, so there's... His foot is shaky. Remember to say her full name so we can find her on Instagram after this. Everyone's going to stock her Instagram profile. Okay, she's foreign.

So this is the thing. She was a German foreign exchange student, and she went to my school, and I, like, took her to homecoming, and I thought she was the coolest girl ever. And then I thought, like, after high school, we were going to have something, so I, like, visited her in Germany. What? And the summer after high school... Well, I was touring around Europe, like, living homeless.

After high school, my goal was to be a hobo. Like, I wanted to be a homeless blues man. Like, that was my dream. And so I lived homeless in Europe for a while. And I visited her in Germany, and it was not what I expected. She had every guy in this little village wrapped around her finger. No, I'm serious, the same as I did. And as I drove, as I rode the train away, I literally started riding glad.

And I was like, you can say what you want to, you know, aren't you glad? Whatever. I wrote the whole song about her, yeah. And then I got on one tree hill because of it. And I always wondered if she knew that or gave a shit. God bless German foreign exchange students. Joy, did you go to homecoming? I went to, well, we didn't have homecoming because my school wasn't a football school.

We were soccer. Oh. So, yeah. But we had prom. Where did you go to school? Eastern Christian in North Hald in New Jersey. Oh, you did. It's kind of a great school.

I loved it. What? Did you just ask me? Homecoming. Did you go to homecoming? Yeah, I went to prom. Homecoming. No, we didn't have homecoming.

Didn't you listen to me? Follow the story, Rob. Sorry, I thought we were sticking with the theme of homecoming. Guys, I'm still hearing Tyler's song in my head. I'm having butterflies in my tummy. Dancing in imaginary wooden shoes. Sorry. No, I went with a sweet guy from South Africa who was at our school.

Who was a good friend. You guys are both into foreign exchange. Hey, we're like the United Nations here, Joy and us. Hold on, I'm getting strong. You don't know her. She goes to a different school energy. Sorry, boss. Look, you got a wife.

It worked out. Congratulations. But listen, a pizza boxes aside, did you go? I did go. And before you asked, Were you homecoming games? Yes, I was on the homecoming court. Yes, of course you were.

Okay. And listen, was I homecoming king? No, but it was close. It was a hotly contested race, and people wanted to recount. I was like, I don't want to upset the school. What's the name of the guy who won? Greg flipping Smith, still one of my best friends to this day. Literally, we're in a fantasy football league together,

and one of the guys with all my high school friends, they're like, hey, my wife and I are going to Claremont High School's Homecoming, if you guys want to come to the game before meet up. and I was like, I've been protesting CHS homecoming for 23 years since Greg stole the homecoming crown for me so until they actually tell me I want it and do the right thing Claremont High School I'm not showing up to your homecoming game,

not that you invited me. Listen, I think someone here tonight could probably start a change.org petition. So Claremont High School, in what town? Could you imagine? Like, it's the millions of One Tree Hill fans stuff. Wait, we should do that. Let's do a change.org to make you homecoming.

You know, somebody would be like, this is what you mobilized the collective power of your show for? This. In surprisingly petty news, one trail actor Robert Buckley got 3.5 million signatures for a recount of the 1999 homecoming court. I think we have to do this. I'm really into this. Yeah Oh my gosh Guys I don't want to start Claremont High School

91711 The Wolfpack is the Whatever Mascot The Mastodian Oh my God They're the Mastodons No no

The Wolfpack is the mascot That would have been cool though Mastodons is better I agree Can they be the mascot of our road trip Well listen speaking of road trip I spent my senior year Homecoming

Date list and I had a suburban full of other dateless women and we went to like a really nice Italian restaurant girl yes and then after the restaurant we got squirrely and decided to go out and steal all the

political signs that were up and I had them in the back and I was like all right you guys want to dance now and yeah it was the cops like that's a bunch of girls without boyfriends just let them have fun let them have their fun

you don't have to you don't have like a homecoming photo? I do from junior. I had a really bad boyfriend junior year. He was so handsome and so bad. And so we just don't talk about it anymore. I tried with some other friends to like find him. Missed.

Missed. Like that's no fun. You can't Google stalk. Missed. Well, I think we need to recreate this senior homecoming moment for you since you and, I mean, Peyton and Clay never got to interact. Can we just do like a, could you play some music and we can get you a photo? get you a photo, like a little homecoming dance.

Can we do like a homecoming dance? You're making me embarrassed. A first dance for the couple. First dance, come on. The homecoming king and queen. Hey! Somebody give her her crown back. Give me a crown, give it back to you.

Who has a crown? Well, I always catch my breath. Okay, go, go, go. Mind your hands, Buckley. I don't need a crown. It's okay. Okay, go ahead. You guys can get the photos and then do the Internet thing.

We hold our mics while we go. Hold on. Hold on. Just. Oh, yeah. That's all. Enough room for Jesus between. I know.

I didn't bring my phone up either. Yeah. Oh, my God. Wait, I'm crying. You. Which one of us gets to wear it? Is there a disco ball or anything we can get? Way to go, Hillary.

What's up in the light bag of tricks? I hear your name in certain circles. Where are you? It always makes me so. Yes, give me your lights. Come on. All right. Hey, listen, you guys, where are-

Wait, who does this belong to? Yeah, come here. They probably want you back. Come here. That was really nice. Yeah, that was so nice. Come here. What can we give you as a present?

Oh, does she want something else? Give her something, Rob. What do we? No big deal. Basket! That's for you. That's for you. Do you have a lock on the back of your bill?

Yeah, so every time I leave town, Jenny has the stupid Samsonite lock that she sticks, and she sticks it on an article of my clothing. So every time I open my suitcase, like, I have one button up shirt, and there's a lock on it. And this time, I got home from the show last night. I phacetime my wife, and I'm like, hey, shows were great. And she's like, did you wear your blue denim pants? Because she helped me pick out these outfits. And I was like, yeah, why?

And she's like, did you not notice the lock on the back of it? And I was like, I didn't. And sure enough. You tell Jenny I found a lock. Guess you could say she, wait for it, locked it down. Hey! Hold on a second, though, because I love your wife so much.

Did she ever watch One Tree Hill? Did she have any idea what she was getting into? No, ma'am. God bless. God bless. And your wife was on her own teen drama. That's right. She was going to be on like the last episode of One Tree Hill,

and something happened. And she was going to play, like, the ANR person at the last something, something, and then she was filming something. But I was like, dang it, opportunity missed. We could have brought it full circle. Well, you still found each other. That's right. That's right. She was on Secret Life of the American Teenager at the time.

Oh, hey. But wait, has Megan ever seen an episode of our show? No. Has Jeff? Oh, God, no. Neither is Grant. Imagine Jeff's, like, a huge fan, secretly. He's, like, literally watched every episode.

So it has never told anybody. I feel like our husbands and your wives maybe should have a podcast. And watch our show. What the shit is this? Yeah. Yeah. What in the early 2000s is this? You guys, Megan sent my husband Grant a hat that says, I've never seen one tree hill.

And it's so great. And it literally sits on a table like with his other hats that he actually wears by our front door. And every once in a while, I'm like, are you going to wear that one on your run? today and he's like no because someone will throw something at me they won't understand that it's ironic wait no the other day i went i went on jogging i didn't have a hat to wear so the only hat in the closet was and i've never seen one tree hill at and i literally like looked both ways in the park and i was like fucking i'm doing this and i just ran and i was like i hope no one sees this just i'll take a picture that's a paparazzi shot i want so badly so badly i was like

why's the guy wearing a mask and sunglasses while he's jogging but i would love it if you had gotten busted by the paparots and you're like Oh, respect my privacy. I'm just a guy. And they're like, you're literally wearing your own merch. I mean, speaking of merch, we're wearing our own sweatshirts. So you guys aren't going to make fun of us for that, are you? Have you guys got merch yet?

I wore it last night. You saw it up there, right? Thank you. Oh, yeah. You got the show. Hey, sweet. Okay, so we want to answer some of your questions now. So I believe we have some microphones in the audience.

Yes? We do. Yes. And the first question is from Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Hey, Kelly. Hi. This is for everybody.

I was wondering, what is everyone's favorite end-gole couple? Favorite what? End-game couple. Oh, oh, yeah. Peyton and Jake. Yeah. Guys. Haley and Chris.

You were thinking it. Honestly. I really like Haley and Chris. Like, there's like a total chemistry there. that got tramped down real fast because no one wanted to upset Nathan. Nathan's fine. Nathan's going to be fine, you guys, okay?

Yeah, he's busy. That's true. It's very upset. He had some things that he had to work out and that's not her responsibility. Exactly. Exactly. That's right.

I mean, now that you've given me the secret, I still stand by, Brooke should have been with Hot Uncle Cooper. After college, after college, but I should have been. That would have been a nice comeback in, yeah. Right? Yes. You got yours?

Me? Yeah. I said mine. What's yours? Oh, yeah. I'm going to go Bruleon because I think that was the strongest couple name. Bruleon. Yeah.

Honestly, did work out great, didn't it? It did. They were so supportive of each other. Yeah. That's what you want in a grown-up relationship, two people. people achieving their goals, supporting each other. Thank you for that question. Who's next?

We want to get as many of you as possible. Where's the microphone? Our next question comes from the birthday, girl. 17th birthday right here. Happy birthday. So this is for Tyler and Bethany. What got you guys into songwriting and singing? Oh, gosh.

I think, I mean, for me, it just started naturally. Like, I would imagine for you, too, right? It just started naturally. How did, yeah, when did you, like, why did you learn to play the piano and all that stuff? My grandma had a piano, so whenever I would visit her, because she was the one who lived in Jersey first. I was in Texas until I was 11, then moved to Jersey. And we moved into her old house, so we actually were living in the house my dad grew up in, which must have been so weird for him. But my grandma had a piano, because she was a piano teacher and an opera singer, and she sang in her church choir, and she was, like, a major singer.

And my great, sorry, my grandfather was on Broadway. So I have this musical history in my family and I just always was singing and writing songs from as far back as I can remember my mom has one of those. Old tape recorders, you know, like the little tape recorder from the 80s, and she has tapes of me when I was three, like just making up songs

and singing into it. I know, it's really cool. That's sweet. Wait, why I love you have those? Do we need to call your mom? Yes. My mom would love to hear from you guys. Listen, I'm thinking there's, like, a drama queen's, like, outro song in there somewhere.

Or, like, my ringtone. Yeah, your sweet little baby voice. Could be. I want that. What about you? Yeah, yeah. It's actually really similar. Like, Uncle on Broadway, family that played music.

It's so weird. And I just, like, everyone played music from the time I was young, and I learned right away. I was like, I have to learn how to do it. And then I started writing songs as soon as I got my heart broken. I was like, I was doing cover songs, you know, like Elvis songs. Like, why would anyone need to write a song? And then a girl decided to stop holding my hand at school and talking, we broke up, and I wrote a song.

Ville and thank. Isn't that funny how, like, the best thing that happens to you as an artist is just, like, longing and pining and, like, as a young artist. Yes. Me for sure, too. Like, every boy that I loved, there was one in particular, I just loved for years and years, and he didn't love me back. And I wrote so many songs.

I just, like, for such a writer. The second he starts calling you, like, no, no, no, no. Yeah, I was like, oh, no, no, you can't. Oh, my gosh, you guys were like Taylor Swift before Taylor Swift was Taylor Swift. Whoa. We love heartbreak. Thanks to that much.

Taylor is like a big old one tree hill fan. Really? Big old, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I think she had, like, me do her music video and Colletti did her music video. I mean, and she was like. She can come hang out. Does she have a nice RV?

How's her bus? Her RV. She's like wings and jets on it. I feel like hers is probably not a 2013. Class C. Maybe she'll let us just... Tait, take. Can we ride out of your buzz?

Taylor, if you're listening to this podcast. Second change.org. Loan us a bus. Right, yeah. Okay, great. What's our next question? Thank you for that. Our next question is from Leanna.

Hi. Hi. What would all of your One Tree Hill characters dress up as for Halloween in 2022? Great question. Fun! Well, I mean, can we think about it for one second? I'm trying to think which character from Tiger King I want to be. I'm like, the main guy or one of the other guys, you know?

I don't know. Toothless guy, I don't know. One of those guys. I'm still not over that. Like, when that happened during quarantine, I was like, I don't care if there's, like, a pandemic. What is the show? Like, I know it seems like that long ago, not to go on a Tiger King tangent, but how great was that? Crazy.

We all had that thing we shared. Together. We all loved it. Have you ever met anyone that's like, you know, I started it and didn't really like it? Did anyone do that for Tiger King? Absolutely not. No. Well, I just, I guess I wonder, would we all coordinate?

Like, do we all go? And if we do, who's Carol Baskin? Or are we going to do something like this year's Disney villains? You know, like, what is it? With the Witches of Eastwick, maybe. Oh, my God. Guys, designing women. Designing women!

I love that idea. You guys kick off some serious sugar baker vibes. I mean, you could brush that. Honestly. Wait, who's young people here? Do you guys even know what designing women is? Yeah, we got a couple grown-ups in the audience. It's a good one.

They were original drama queens, too, but their comedic timing was beautiful. And growing up with shows about female friendship, it was always kind of reserved for older women. It was like the golden girls and designing women. And younger girls were always expected to be really combative. And rivalries between, like, you know, best friends over boys. That's so weird.

Who would ever? So we hope that we are, you know, helping usher in a new generation of girls that are like, no, no, we want to be golden girls. Yes. We want to be designing women. We want to be drama queens. Like, you'll find a new boy to kiss.

Don't worry. Don't worry. All right, what are you dressing up as? Hear me out. Logan, Clay's son, dresses up as like Hugh Jackman Wolverine from the first X-Men when he's like clean cut and clean-shaven.

And then Clay dresses up as Logan from Logan where he's like older gray hair. Yeah. I like that. Could be a fun tag team costume. I was trying to think of that because, I mean,

probably just a badass superhero, right? Because there's no female equivalent. They never did a female equivalent. I mean, sure, there's Storm. Yeah, there's a lot of them. Maybe she's rogue. Who knows? Yeah.

I mean, she's probably got to stay at home and hand out candy. That's the mom's job. It's like, no, no, you guys go have fun and think of her. Or listen, we just get progressive and she's just a female Wolverine. Why not? We can break the rules. Let's do it. Can I tell you, I go all out for Halloween Hillary style? Like, I got like the dry ice, the fog machine. I put speakers outside with a microphone, so when kids

walk by, I'd be like, hello. And Megan's like, you've got to tone this down. These kids are little. And I was like, no, you're supposed to scare them. This is what they want. And they're not sure if they want to come up to our front door. And I was like, yes, that's what I want. I want, I want them to be like, should I go up? And anyway, I really love it. I'm so proud of you.

What kind of house are you there? Are you the full candy bar house? What? What do you give him the little fun size? Gus says to me two days ago, he's like, I just want to grow up and be a full-size candy bar kind of guy. And I was like, yeah, he wants to just like be the guy in the neighborhood that gives out full-s-like. That's all he aspires to him.

I'm like, what are you going to do for a job? He's like, doesn't matter. Full-sized candy bar. What a cool thing for a grown-up to put a guy's up to-old. Dude, if you give out full-old. sized candy bars, you can suck as a neighbor for 365 days a year. But if you're the guy

who drops the full-sized butterfinger in the bag, the kids love you. You know what, though? I like that Gus sees it because he's like, I'm just going to set the goal. I'll work backwards from there. I'll figure it out. Just reverse

engineer right into it. It's got to be great. Trick or tree. Yeah, what's our last question? Our last question is from Lindsay. Hi, Lindsay. Hi. Oh, my gosh. I'm, like, freaking out.

I love y'all so much and everything you stand for. Y'all are just the best. Hey. Okay, my question, and by the way, I came all the way from Alabama just for your- Girl, I hear that Alabama? I was going to ask. Only for y'all, only for y'all. So, my question is, if you could keep one character.

Wait, what do you say? She said what part? What part? Sorry. Oh, okay. Well, I was just going to say if we. No, what part of Alabama? What part of Alabama?

We're trying to establish a rapport with you. care about you. I'm so nervous. I like, I can't, like, I don't want to mess the show up, and I'm so nervous. No, girl, I want to know what town you're from. I'm so obsessed with y'all. Y'all don't even know. Okay, I'm from Orange Beach, and I know Alabama doesn't have the best reputation, but I'm not like,

that. Ah! Baby, you just threw your whole state under the bus. You're like, no, no. No. Today I'm a New Yorker. I'm like, every time y'all go on a Twitter rant, I'm like, yes, retweet, retweet. Retweet, retweet.

Okay, anyway, sorry. Okay. I'm not sorry. I like it. Okay, okay. I'm dead right now, I'm dead. Okay, if y'all could keep any of the characters that we tragically lost all throughout the show, who would you keep and why? Uncle Keith, because Uncle Keith.

I mean, you know what I'm going to say. Ellie, all day. Yeah, like Ellie and Peyton in an RV going on a tour. Oh, my God. Also, like, you guys running Red Bedroom would have been so cool. Yeah, she's so cool. She wore that cool leather bracelet, and she was, like, a cool mom. And she would tell you to, like, hook up with the boy.

Like, she was giving you, like, the counter advice that your normal parent would. We needed more Ellie. Yeah. You know what hit me hard, which is weird because, like, you know, he wasn't a parent. He wasn't an Ellie or Keith. but Quentin, you guys, Robbie Jones is so special. Yeah.

And like, oh, I was like, I was not well after. We legitimately cried at that. Yeah, like we were weeping and we were like, what's happening? I'm really upset. I was mad. I was a rough day. I was mad when they killed him off. Because he's such a good actor and he's so in the moment

and we just enjoyed having him around so much. Yeah. Yeah. Turns out we want to keep a lot of people. Yeah. Do you guys know? I don't know if you knows, but like when you don't know what's going to happen over the season like when you're on the show. So you literally get the episodes and when you read them, that's the first time you know what happens that episode, which is interesting.

So I feel like when you read that someone's going to die or that kind of stuff, it really like hits you hard. It's interesting that we find that out when we get the script, you know, but interesting. Yeah, oftentimes they do too. Yeah. And we get it like the week before. Yeah. It's not nice I just want to go on the record

and say I would have kept pace Yes Yes well we've I was like When I found out you weren't coming back I was texting my best friend Who was also watching And I was like

Where is cake That's so sweet I'm just I didn't watch for like I get it A whole week one episode I love I love that boycott

I'm not watching for six and a half days. I'm principled. I feel you. I appreciate you. But then you're like, but I heard this clay guy. That's right. Holy abs. He's supposed to be amazing.

I'm just going to say that is, you know, the resident Brooke Davis of the group. I co-signed that. Yeah, me too. Speaking of Rob's abs, we were in an Uber last. Yeah, we got her. Sorry, Tyler, what? I was saying, speaking of Rob's abs, we were in an Uber last night. And I was like, hey, Rob, how do you get abs?

And he was like, you know, telling me. And then we, like, get there. And I was like, that Uber driver must have been like, oh, cool, I'm picking up two actors. And by the time he dropped us off, he's like, get out of my car. I hate you guys. Hey, Rob, how do you get abs? Rob's like, the character I'm worn is my abs. We got in the car.

It was like leaving in events. There was people like shouting and stuff. So this guy probably thought like, oh, wow, I wonder who I got in the car. This might be a big deal. and then like 30 seconds in he's just how loud can this radio go oh my gosh it's like well you know Tyler

abs are made in the kitchen and he was like I want to die I was like what else have I always wanted to ask Rob well I've got him for the weekend this poor Uber driver that was your big ponder I was like let's see what I know I've asked him everything else up to that point

so it's just more like looking at the window be like what about abs how do you get abs abs? Oh, my God. Oh, well, thankfully, we never killed Chris Keller because we needed more of that. You guys, thank you so, so much for being a part of our podcast. We're so, so, so grateful you came. Thank you so much.
