Cheering for the right team. Drama queens, drama queens, smart girl, rough girl, fashion but you'll tough girl. You could sit with us, girl. Drama queen, drama queens, drama queens, drama queens, drama queens, drama queens.

Hey, everybody. We're back for a Q&A episode. So excited to be with you right now. And nice to see you, girls. Hello. Oh, hey. Hello. What's up? I love these hard-hitting questions. It's like drama journalism is what's happening on these Q&A episodes. I'm into it. Right. Let's get into it. Okay. Okay. Well, let's see. Q&A. What was your favorite moment from the tour? Ooh. This is the first question we have. My favorite moment from our Drama Queen's tour was probably when we had our agent and our awesome assistant on the bus and was there one other person and we were all, like, uni was DJing, our agent was DJing and we all were just rocking out to great tunes for like

three hours and talking nonstop. It was so fun. There was like one particular afternoon where we were just rolling. It was great. My favorite part about that was Sophia getting mad at the vitamin C of it all. I was like, please turn off this song. Please, please not this song. There were so many good songs.

Like, we rocked some Abba. We really went in on Whitney Houston. And then vitamin C hit. And I was like, this is the one that ruins the place. Guys, I requested the vitamin C. Because it's such a cheeseball song. The graduation song is like such a cheeseball song. And it came out our senior year in high school.

And so it was just kind of mandatory, like, well, this is your senior year in high school song. I, like, still have PTSD from that song. Yeah, yeah. And so just, like, shut down in a way that I don't think I've ever seen her shut down before. That was, she was just like, I'm not even going to fake it. I can't do it. I'm so sorry. I cannot do this with you.

Was Sophia sitting shotgun and being in charge of navigation? That didn't work well. And she kept, she kept taking videos of things of all. us behind her and then going immediately to Instagram and starting to put things together and Hillary kept missing the exits. Like four times. Okay. Okay. Okay. They're not wrong. But here's what I have to say.

Is that I had been asked to start answering the Q&A questions on the Drama Queen's Instagram. Yeah. And very quickly, I was like, y'all, I can either take videos of us answering these questions or I can help her navigate. I cannot do these two things at the same time. You can't do two jobs in one chair. crawled on the floor and was giving you directions just out of frame while I was filming

our responses to all the questions that were coming in on our Drama Queen's Instagram page and I was like, this feels better. It turns out I can only do one thing at a time. But it also, it was a very specific part of the country where there weren't exit lanes for the exits. It was like three whole lanes of traffic would be the exit and they wouldn't alert you to that. And so we thought we were driving in the middle lane and the next thing you know, we were getting off the highway. We're in the middle of nowhere, passing that one gas station three times. I really liked that cute little town, though.

All their Halloween decorations were up and the leaves were changing. And I was like, I would love to just get a coffee and walk around here, but we don't have time. Yeah. I enjoyed the Warner Theater in D.C. Because we're there, like, during Halloween time. And the staff there was telling us about all the ghosts that live there. And I wish we could have spent dating. there. Like I loved that theater. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was great. I would love to do a couple of

nights there. Sweet. Yeah. Hey, thanks for the question. Um, number two ladies, number two question on our sheet here. If we got to see Haley's brothers, who do you think would have played them? Yeah, what a missed opportunity to have new hot guys on the show. I mean, as someone that... Yeah, but our boss didn't want there to be new hot guys on the show. He only wanted there to be new hot guys on the show. He only wanted there to be new hot girls on the show that's right i forgot even if they were new dorky guys on the show i'm pretty equal opportunity yeah absolutely yeah who would have played them i don't know i mean i don't know i would have really loved if we had gone like a little bit of stunt casting with haley's brothers and gotten like all the boys from hanson or like devon sawa and do you know what i mean like

iconic teen boy stars. Jonas Brothers. Yes. Like, come on. Great answer. And then they could all sum together. Yeah, it would have been great. Oh, it would have been so great.

That's what I would have liked. And it would have been cool if they were musical because you could have created this backstory that Haley grew up in a musical house. Yes. I just seen like jam sessions in your living room with Huey Lewis leading. Oh, come on.

Yes. Come on. God, it would have been so cool. That is really a missed opportunity for sure. I can't think of any answer that tops that. Like Hansen as your brothers is just. Can't top it. Johnny Lang.

Let's get Johnny Lang. Oh, my God. Love. Fine. Yeah, right. Yeah, I was thinking more like, like, that's a great. I was thinking more like Toll Brothers. Like, who are the guys that like, Haley clearly does not interact with them anymore.

So what did they do that was so awful? Like there was this girl that I lived near when I was in elementary school who had high school brothers. And I remember going to her house for the first time. And they're like, what's your name? And I said, Hillary. And they're like, whatever, celery. And they called me celery for the whole rest of the time I knew them. And so in my mind, I'm like, oh, older brothers, assholes.

So who could play the asshole version of that? I just feel like there's some like older brother Vince Vaughan energy that we needed on our show. so that even when they came back and Haley's married to Nathan, they're like, oh, what's up, Nathan? You know, like, they're just antagonistic in a way that's fun. Yeah.

Yeah. Not everyone can be cool Uncle Cooper. Sometimes you just need, like, ding-dongs. 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 hundreds of years.

You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Teller 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. 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. Okay, so at what point did we all finally open up to each other while filming one tree hill?

That's the next question. Much like this past episode we just watched, I think, when did we really let our guard down? I don't think we weren't our age now, whereas now it takes a while to let guards down when you first meet people. The age that we were when we started, so much younger, I think we just like walked in immediately with open hearts. I also think it moves in seasons. And I don't mean seasons of TV. I mean like seasons of your life. you know seasons of love there it is they're perfect they're doing rent at my local theater joy

and like all I can think is how do we do a local theater production like how do we just really immerse ourselves in that we should do rent that would be so fun but you know what I mean like I feel like we really bonded in the beginning and then I think life started to happen and people in charge really wanted there to be wedges between the girls. And we didn't know that that was like behind the scenes politics. And so we would dip in and dip out and dip in and dip out. And sometimes we were very tight. And sometimes we were all a little scared. And and it really went in waves. I think, you know, Hill, we had a huge moment after you left. Yeah. We're like we got, we we really like swept out from under the rug and what the fuck we're going to burn everything down

you know and I don't know I think there's just I think there's been seasons of it I have the journal that joy and I shared back and forth because it was hard to have I found yeah it's just hard to have private conversations on set because you're miced you know and you don't know who's listening back at video village and so we had that journal that we would pass back and forth called trailer trash and it was it felt like being in school like where you're passing notes found a bunch of letters that you and I wrote to each other I have I found a couple cards from you sof and then I have letters from from you hill a whole bunch in my collection that I because I never throw anything away same that's fun to see I remember there was a moment when sof first came to

the show, that I had, I'd been in a long-term relationship that was falling apart and I'd fallen for someone else. And I had finally called that dude to be like, hey, I'm single. And his voicemail was, hey, I'm not here right now, but if this is so-and-so, I love you. And it wasn't me. It was like, he had met someone else in the process. Do you remember who I'm talking about? Oh, Sophia, do you remember if I'm talking about? I'm like, is it? I'll tell you later. I'm like, can you text me on the side?

I text you guys on the side. Anyway, and I was like devastated. And I remember being in an elevator with Sophia at the Riverview Suites, like kind of very quickly debriefing you about this situation with like past boyfriend and the one that got away. And like, my phone's blowing up. And I'm like, I don't know what to do. And then like cut to two years later. I'd made contact with the one that got away and was going to see him in L.A., you know,

like going out for the Teen Choice Awards, and I casually said it. And Sophia, we weren't hanging out at the time, but you knew the gravity of that. And I just remember looking at you from across the, like, 16 passenger van, and you being like, get out there, do it. And that was the thing that was always kind of nice about our relationships is as bitchy as we all could get with each other or as just like huffy as young women can get at any given point, we knew each other's secrets and like knew what really mattered. And then it was like, oh, we have to go into, we have to go into like chaos mode right now. You know what that feels like?

That feels like the scene in the Pictures of You episode where Brooke and Peyton love each other, but they're in like a moment of space. But Peyton's like, I got Chase here. And you're like, yeah. A moment of space is like a really good way to put that. Because I think every relationship needs them, whether it's mother and child or friends or romantic partners. And so we certainly had our moments of space on the show, but we're always down. Like, Joy would send a letter in the thick of some bullshit. And I knew, like, okay, I'll see a craft service. Yeah, here we go.

Let's go. I think that's the thing about really building relationships that feel like family. It's like, you can talk shit about your brother, but nobody else better. No. And like we could be in the reality of relationships where we were not only so close, but also literally trapped together on an essential, what was essentially an island, our set. And we could be like in and out. But if anybody was messing with any of us, it was like, oh, the calories coming. Yeah.

And I liked that. Now you've made us mad. It is. Oh, my God. Hillary it is. Oh, that's right. You remember that one, Joy? Oh, yeah, I remember.

I just texted them who it was. I know. And like to look back now and be like, who, who. You dodged a bullet, baby. Yeah, we all do. Wow. You guys were there for it, so. Oh, my God.

Here we are. Oh, my God. 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 hundred of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Teller Ornelis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history.

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 hi i'm christine taylor and I'm here with my co-host, David Lashore. We have a podcast called Hey Dude, The 90s called. And David, why don't you tell us who our guests are this week? From a film that I did right in the middle of the 90s called White Squall, Scott Wolf, Ryan Philippe, Jeremy Sisto, Balthazar Getty, Ethan Embry, and the dude himself, Jeff Bridges, recount that insane shoot that was six months

all over the world. But the interview for Hey Dude the 90s called, White Squall cast reunion is epic. Listen to Hey Dude the 90s called on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Okay, your favorite outfit you got to wear

on the show and wish you could keep? Well, Velvet Blazer over here has had a hell of a time in season four. God, I'm getting all these great velvet jackets and I wish I had those. I just love that in the early 2000s, teenage girls wore, like, work casual wear to school. And what were we doing? It is so...

And now they're like in full oversized sweatshirts, Billy Eilish, like big, huge sweatpants or like tiny little crops and high mom jeans. These children are wearing pajamas to school now. And we were doing business casual on a Tuesday. Must be nice. I mean, what did she? wear to gym class. I mean, we always had gym uniforms in high school.

But, Sophia, do you feel like your blazer apparel on One Tree Hill like slightly informed your love of a power suit now? Like, you got a lot of practice. I don't think so, to be honest, because Brooke's style

was so all over the place because it was like, whatever was in the moment she was going to wear. And looking back, I'm like, God, I wish we just narrowed that down a little bit because some of that shit looks insane. But, yeah, I don't know. I think, like, I think it was very, for me, I think it was sort of 90s Calvin Klein all the way back to Catherine Hepburn and the suits she used to wear. I just, I don't know, I love the power of a suit. I don't think I really felt powerful in a lot of the clothes I was wearing on our show.

I was like, please give me more fabric. Hold on a second, though. Can we talk about what you coveted and you went back and bought? Oh, my God. What? You guys, we have talked so much about that dress, that multicolored dress with the sequins. Oh, yeah. That Brooke wore to Keith's failed wedding to Jules.

And I have been hunting for it. You have not. And one of you so kindly sent me the link to a store that literally sells clothes from TV. And I bought that fucking dress. I bought it. It's in my closet. I don't think it's mine. Close enough.

But it's dresses that are seen on TV. Oh, it's the same dress. Yeah. And they'll be like, this is the sweater that Blake lively wore in this episode of Gossip World. This is the dress that's a few wore at the wedding. Oh, my gosh. And I'm going to have to get it tailored. because it does not fit me

and I don't care. I was like, I don't care. I don't care. Whatever. It literally doesn't matter. Like, I will rebuild it so that it fits my body. I love this.

In 30 minutes because Brooke Davis is a master's interest. Well, Brooke Davis knows how to do that. You guys, the fact that I never learned to sew playing Brooke Davis is so embarrassing. There's time, babe. You've got tons of free time, right? Yeah.

Joy, would you want to steal? Ugh. I don't know. I never really liked Haley's clothes. The beach outfit? Are you kidding me? That was mine. Okay, the skirt was not, but the top was mine. I wish you'd kept that skirt and you could still wear the outfit. Yeah, that would be fun. That was a good, that was a good one. I don't know. I'm like, I think I just kept some t-shirts. Maria walked into the kitchen the other day wearing a t-shirt that I had in a bin for her of like old clothes and it was definitely something I had worn on the show. It was funny. It's like, oh, this is, where'd you get that? Hang on, hang on.

Yeah, I stole some t-shirts. But I don't know. Made jackets, purses, shoes. I think I just took things home that were like, fine. I don't know that I kept any items that were really awesome. What about like the 40s episode? Did you like your wardrobe and that? No, it was all.

I wouldn't actually wear any of those things. Yeah. They were all so costuming now. Sorry. I think maybe the The shirt, the tansche No, I don't really wear a lot of button-ups I don't know

That's the thing Did you keep the poncho? No, who knows where the hell that poncho is? That's a travesty. But it is interesting Because you spend so long in these clothes Like, you know, it takes eight days To film an episode

I'm like, I never want to see that again And you are dressing as a character Not as yourself So it can be kind of tricky I mean, I would have kept the chilling in uniform. I wish I had one of those uniforms. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I'll jump on that bandwagon. With the pants and jacket. Like, I want the whole shab. You want the whole outfit. Yeah, you know what bugs me too is they're so weird about they never want you to keep anything. They never want to let you

take anything home. They bill you if you do. By the way, I got a bill at the end of our show and people, they were like, all of these brook clothes are missing. And I was like, I didn't take half that shit. I don't know who took it. I didn't want that blue miniskirt. Like, This is not happening. And the craziest part is, I was talking about this with a wardrobe supervisor on a job I was doing recently. And she was like, yeah, they're so crazy about it. They want everything catalog. They want everything to go back.

And she'd done a show that was a streaming show. So they did their first season. They packed up all the wardrobe, sent it to the studio. And then they had to wait to get picked up. And then, you know, they do, they film the whole second season, whatever. So it was going to be a long delay. It was like 18 months. and when the studio shipped all the clothes back

they hadn't been stored properly all the boxes were full of mold everything was ruined and she was like if we had just let the actors take their clothes home they could have brought them back and they would have been fine and so not only did they eat the cost of shipping

like an entire truck's worth of wardrobe somewhere else but then everything was ruined and they had to completely start over and I was like this is dumb like you tailored that to fit me perfectly please just let me have it. And I promise if you want it back, I'll give it back to you because I'm a hoarder and I never get rid of anything. Because I'm a hoarder. Yes, yes. It'll be fine. We should have kept more shit. Really is the moral of the story. Yeah, they should have let us keep

everything. Guys, is there an episode you wish you could go back and direct yourself in? I mean, I'm going to say that big stinko episode we just watched with Peyton and Lucas where they're finally together, but don't know how to talk to each other. Like, Guys, I'm not even trying in that. I came into work that day and I was like, I'm going home and I don't care about this. Because the dialogue was so dorko that, I don't know. Sometimes you just, after your years in, get defeated.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, the thing is, you can't be on all the time. Oh. And when you're required to be on 17 hours a day. some days you just can't do it in the same way you can't fake it you can't like smile through something you think is dumb but it is interesting because you look back and you go oh man if i'd had a little more experience under my belt or a little more confidence i would have fought to change this and then this

would have been better and that but it's like you only learn lessons when you learn them i would have found it in a different way yeah yeah i was thinking about karaoke or some shit you know you were going to yosaki yeah what were you which ones are you guys are you guys are you guys are you guys are you guys are you I'm pondering. What keeps you up at night? It's interesting. When you talk about that, things you wish you could do differently, yeah, there's certainly moments of that. I think especially for me in season one, feeling so pressured. Everyone always told me, like, you have to be sexier, sell it harder, like be more out there with it. And I disagree. Like, I can see myself really pushing to try to prove it. And I would love to direct myself differently in those moments until I

found my confidence as a series regular as a young actor um but then there's things that i just think god like i guess it's really in my head because we've it's the most recent episode we've watched but 413 you know our breakfast club episode i loved that episode so much and i would have loved from like my vantage point now to go back and direct everybody in that yeah i think that would have been one of the most fun episodes in the history of our show to be a director on. I totally agree. That one, the 40s episode would have been fun to direct the, um, oh, you would have been so good at that joy. You love period stuff. That would have been so fun. That would have been the one that I would want to, if I could go back and pick any, I probably would have done that one.

Yeah. I love that. Sweet. Well, great. Thank you guys so much for your questions. Can't wait for more. Thanks, y'all. I guess we'll talk to you later. Save yourselves. Peace out.
