First of all, you don't know me. We're all about that high school drama girl, drama girl, all about them high school queens. We'll take you for a ride and our comic girl. Drama queen 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. Hello, friends.

Your gals are here for a Q&A. You have sent us some amazing questions lately. Keep them coming. We are amped to jump into these. Yeah, I just love that people keep coming up with new stuff. I know. I like this question from Lauren. If the three of you could make a cameo appearance together in any music video, what would you choose?

Like anything from Prince. oh yeah come on i was going to say is it something that already exists or is yet to be created oh interesting see i'd ever watched a lot of music videos that just wasn't my we didn't have cable when i was a kid and then by the time i was out of the house and had cable i was too busy to sit around watching music videos so i i didn't see a lot of them you know what music video i want to be in I love Phoebe Bridgers so much. And her and her two best friends have this new band called Boy Genius.

And like all the ladies are wearing cool suits. They're just like a vibe. And I'm like the three of them, put the three of us in the comet, drive us by. Like a little, a little like iconic friendship cameo in an iconic friendship band feels very cool to me. like a throwback and then something future. Y'all know who had the best music videos. Missy Elliott always had the best videos. And like when you think about like the girl gang videos of the early 2000s,

there was like the Moulon Rouge video, which was so, it was like Lil Kim and Pink and Christina Aguilera and Maya. Like that was so fun. And then there was Gwen Stefani and Eve. did another fucking great. Like there were so many hot girl combos in the early 2000s. That's what I'd want us

to dip into. Yeah. God, do you remember when Beyonce, Britney Spears, and Pink did that? It was like some softer and commercial for the Super Bowl. And it was like a music video and they were dressed up as female gladiators. Oh my God, no.

Oh my God. The early 2000s were so, they were just so cool and fun. That would be really... That would be chic to, like, to go back and be in something that was the same era as when the show premiered would be kind of a fun throwback. Wow. Oh, Lauren, that's a good question. Love it. From Liz.

She wants to know. She would love to hear our thoughts on the changes in our character's style after the time jump. Filling in the gaps. I really loved Peyton's darker hair and Lucy Flowy tanks. Haley's sassy short hair and teacher mom vibes and Brooke's bright colors and red hair. Didn't Brooke always wear bright colors, though? I feel like Brooke was always really vibrant. I don't know. I guess the style feels different for me for sure with the time jump because of the way we cut my hair, which looking back, I hate so much. Oh, I liked it. Oh, God, I hate it. But it was a very,

like it was specifically sort of designed around the haircut around that wild like lob that had the pointy fronts that Victoria Beckham did that year yeah because when we were designing it like with Jojo and Carol Cutshaw and Wardrobe it was like okay we have to make her look older and you know if she's looking up to other women that are sort of pioneers in fashion Victoria Beckham feels like a really cool one for her to look at. And so I think I'm now, and watching it back, I'm like, yeah, it looked really good on Victoria Beckham and less good on me. I don't agree.

I think, no, it screams Manhattan. You know what I mean? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, that's true. It's clear that Brooke Davis left Tree Hill. And what I would, like, just in the episode we just watched, like, you're wearing so many adult clothes. Yeah.

Like, it's like a wrap dress and like a shift. And there's a lot of maturity in what you're wearing. Yeah. Which to me is kind of jarring because as your loser friend, I'm like, man, like, let's still like wear concert t-shirts and let's just stick around. And yeah, I want to be immature forever. I think that our wardrobe department did such a good job giving the three of us really specific looks. Yeah. And I think they all really work for our characters. Yeah, I look at myself

in some of those scenes and I feel like I look like a kid playing dress up, but that's exactly what Brooke is. She's a very young professional person in the same way that Haley is probably the youngest teacher at school and she's wearing cute little, you know, capri suit pants and like button up tops, but they've got a shape. And like, yeah, Peyton's running a record label. She's still dressing like a rock and roller and it's oh stop it's like it's cool and it does it does really work you know what i liked about haley's wardrobe is that you got to it's all like really vintage silhouettes like you're wearing all these sundresses and tops that have like a 1950s housewife undertone yeah yeah that suits my body shape for sure i but i also like what it means subliminally

it's like haley's trying to have the american dream she's He's trying to have that perfect life and make it look pretty and cute. And there's just always a little bit of tree hill drama underneath that skirt. Always. From Alicia, she says in season one, Keith tells Lucas referring to Peyton's car, all the prettiest girls have the messiest cars, which is such a funny,

I don't know what that means. But how clean or dirty do we keep our cars? I think that's fun. If that shit is true, then I am gorgeous. I got two kids. and three dogs that get it out of that car. It's on a farm. It's so shitty.

Oh, God. That's so good. I keep my car pretty clean, but my truck is absolutely destroyed. Destroyed. Wait, because I remember leaving our first in-person podcast at that hotel in L.A. Oh, yeah. And you drove Hillary and I home to your house. The worst.

In your SUV. And, like, I got in the back seat and was, like in between duffel bags. To be fair, I had all this stuff because it was like costumes and things from our photo shoot that I was like, oh my God. It was so funny. We were like, no, we can fit. We'll get in. We'll just, we'll sit on the stuff. It doesn't matter. We'll be fine. Yeah. No, I have historically had a very messy car. And in the last, I would say like six months, I have, I don't know what happened. I turned a corner of maturity in my life. And now my car, like I vacuum it out in the car pool. I mean, in the line just,

god's sake joy the school pickup line and um i have a little trash can in it and i take all my stuff in the house after i'm done for the day it's like a really clean car but my truck is not it's destroyed you found serenity i found it sophia i it kind of depends on the day like because there's a lot of days where like all the seats are folded down on my cars full of stuff from the flea market like furniture and you know random things yeah um but But I do have like a, when it's empty, when there's not, you know, stuff I'm hauling, I have this trunk organizer that I'm obsessed with. It's like a pop-up vinyl.

It's got dividers in it. And so in the trunk of my car is very organized. It's like sunscreen's in the front. And then there's a thing where all the reusable bags are. And then there's another thing where anything you might need at any moment. Yeah, anything you might need. Like the camp counselor and me will never die. Snacks, tampons.

add bill yeah anything non-perishable you know there's an earthquake kid in there like just in case but what i like about that is i can lift it in and out of the car so like if i'm going to the flea market aside from keeping the sunscreen in there like i take most everything out so that i've got room but i like having something that keeps it tight oh i just find old fruit snacks and boogers and like all like kids stuff crumbs i'm going to growing mushrooms in my car. That's so funny. Gross. All right.

Well, thanks for making us out ourselves. Oh, Corley's got a good one on the subject of our characters trying to be grown-ups. She says, was it hard to switch from high school kids to young adults in just a few months time? Did you like the new dynamic in your characters playing people closer to your age? Well, it wasn't hard. Our characters had no parents anyway. Like, high school was a free-for-all.

It just made more sense. It made a lot more sense. And, you know, to the point of the question, we were finally playing closer to our own age. You know, it felt easier. And I don't know, there was, I think, a little more space to be human. We didn't have as much worry about what these characters were doing in high school, what that was modeling for high school. what that was modeling for high school kids, you know? So I think it really relieved some of the pressure.

Yeah, I definitely felt that. Yeah, I also liked that, you know, we could hang out in bars and stuff like all the time. Like the scenes of us hanging out and trick and it not being like, what is that weird all ages club, the kids like that? Like it just, I could relate so much more. to it. Yeah. Yeah. Five-year jump. I like it. Mm-hmm. How do we film montage scenes? Are they written in the script and filmed as short as a few second clips or the scenes longer and they cut them

shorter to make a montage? No. I just film them short. Hi, Carla. It's a nice question. But montage is so, you know, if there's a sequence that cuts from, you know, Brooke and Peyton to Haley and Nathan, to Lucas and Lindsay. Each of those sequences is at the shortest, an eighth of a page in the script. So it'll be, you know, scene 67, Rick and Peyton fade to scene 68, Nathan and Haley. And it'll give a description. It'll say like, you know, interior Nathan Haley's house living room, and it'll give a description of what they're doing. If there's dialogue between the characters in a montage, then they'll be longer, but they still each take an hour at minimum to shoot. You don't just get to like set up a scene and film it for a few seconds and be done.

It's a very technical and arduous process, and they still get often, you know, filmed with three cameras to make sure you have options for the size of the scene. in the edit because your editors need options for things depending on how the scenes are going to cut together. So they look nice and quick. Why they write them often to be an extension of the scene that you just watched, like on the same set, kind of like moments later rather than completely separate shots of somebody who you've only ever seen in one or two sets and now they're completely someplace else walking down the street. That's a whole huge setup. So they often put them and the space is where we're already going to be so that because it's already set up,

it'll be much faster to shoot. Yeah. Otherwise, it's too complex. It adds too much time to the schedule. And it's too expensive. Like, you have to think of every set you're on as a, as having a cost because company moves costs time. And so they have to learn to be really efficient with that stuff. Yeah.

I love montage days. I love doing scenes where I didn't have to say a word. yeah right just like Hillary we're going to put you through hair and makeup you're going to come in and look out a window then you're going to go home hospital bed and montage days god dang i love that cool chay wants to know who has been your most memorable artists that you've seen live in concert question oh it's hard that is really hard like i know i have the answer who is it who is it so i was working at m tv when the white stripes came out and got to see like their first show in new york and every like all the record label people were there everyone was like who is this right

so i made a pact i was like i'm going to go to every white stripe show that happens that i can't can like get to it doesn't matter what state doesn't matter where i was obsessed with them and i got to go see jack white right as he was doing van lear rose with loretta lynn oh my gosh it wasn't announced she was going to be there but i had a feeling and so i'm sitting there and i'm like watching him just like shred and it was incredible and then all of a sudden he's like you guys i brought a special friend and i burst into tears before she even hit the stage and she comes out in this glittery ballgown, like Glinda, Glinda, from Wicked, or from Wizard of Oz, I guess Wicked is the secondary reference. And I burst into tears. Because you knew it was the only time

you were going to see something like that. You knew it was magical. You knew it was honoring this woman's legacy and music. And I have always been obsessed with her. So, yeah, that was it. Wow. Oh my God, I love that. I remember, I have a few. I don't know that I could pick one, But Mariah Carey, that was my first concert in Madison Square Garden, the first time I ever saw. And that was in her, like, little black dress, long, curly hair phase when she first came out with that first album. And it was incredible to see one woman take over an entire stadium, basically. I mean, it was all of Madison Square Garden. I saw Adele do the same thing many years later at the Staple Center in L.A.

And I got pulled up on stage at a Bon Jovi concert once. so that probably wins just because when would that ever happen ever again in life well also that's like the new jersey dream man yeah that's like goals i saw bon jovi in jersey i was wearing a a zip up uh denim onesie that was skin tight yes and i got pulled up on stage and just hung out with bon jovi on stage for like 10 minutes it was so fun how old were you 19 18 19 that's incredible yeah that's a good one so fun all right so that wins it's funny listening to you guys yeah my brain is like this oh this oh this like when the when i asked the question and then hillary you had an answer like literally my brain through when we went and saw lucero in wilmington together oh oh my god i totally forgot about that and so i'm like wait is it nights that like we saw concerts is it like the best concert you've literally ever seen

but I remember I forgot about it too and then I remember being in that little long theater with that creaky wood floor just like drinking beers and plastic cups shouting the lyrics to my best girl and like oh just feeling so cool and you'd introduce me to that band and then like when I think mega shows

I'm like well is it is it like Beyonce at the Rose Bowl which was truly one of the coolest shows I've ever seen in my life And it was her and Jay-Z, and there was a part where the stage literally started to roll forward, and you didn't realize that what looked like the side barricades were giant channels for wheels. And they rolled over the crowd. And we all were just like, what is happening?

It was like they moved a highway, like out from the stage, out over the crowd. And people were, it was like, it was just the most incredible production of anything I've ever seen. and like, she's Beyonce? Yeah, there's only one. You know? Like, what? It doesn't make any sense. She's so incredible.

But then you just said Adele and I'm like, oh, my God, I just saw her in Vegas this year. And it was, like, again, it's Adele. These are iconic women. I knew she was going to be amazing. And then people asked me how the show was. And I was like, on no level was I prepared for how incredible it was going to be, how impressed I was going to be. I had no idea I was going to cry. Like, why?

I was like crying in the theater, listening to Adele. But it was so incredible. So I don't know. It's like I have those small moments. And then these kind of big ones that just feel nuts. That was the thing I miss most in the pandemic. I didn't miss the pandemic. I love staying home.

Live music. I miss live music. Yeah. Me too. So much. So, so much. I've gotten to see a couple of friends play recently, and it's been so.

incredible. Tovlo just did a show at the Will Turn. And when I tell you, 200 people that we know in L.A. all showed up. Because it was like, it's been so long since we've been able to go to music regularly. And it was so special. And then, I mean, you guys know I'm going to like internally be a club kid forever. And our friends, Dawn. She's like, there's this DJ from the middle of nowhere. And also, we were out till six in the morning. Truly, I'm like, give me. me a beat and I it's like it like soothes my it like my ADD stuff and I just it makes me feel so good and our friend Dom who I joke is like literally my child it goes by Dom Dalla and is one of the biggest DJs in the world now and we watched him play red rocks oh no nights in a row oh so cool and I was

like we traveled out there and his mom was like oh it's so nice to meet his U.S. parents and I was like oh my god your actual mom is here and by the way she stayed out later than any of us. And I just, like any genre of music, how good is it? I can't wait to be 70 years old and still hitting it. We're doing it. Yes. Doing it.

I will drag y'all to clubs. Let's go. That was a good question. Yeah, I like it. Let's see. Gaylene wants to know if Lucas hadn't just found out Dan killed Keith, do you think he would have still had the same reaction to Karen and him kissing? Hmm.

I don't know. Lucas has done some weird shit. Like, he lived with Dan. Yeah. You know? I don't know if he would have pulled a gun on him, but I do think he would have lost his mind. Yeah. I don't think he would have liked it, knowing how manipulative Dan is.

But I agree. I don't think he would have gone bat shit crazy if Dan was just some, you know, wasn't a murderer. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of complex feelings there for sure. And it would have been very upsetting. I could see him throw in a fit or storming. storming out and what are you doing and like you know how he treats deb and nathan he's got so much other ammo to not like dan but this this this is pretty not really we got a lot of dan content

emily wants to know do you think dan turned himself in because of nathan's reaction which is interesting because lucas also had a big reaction or did the guilt set in after holding lily uh who is karen and keith's daughter for some of the folks at home who may not remember that Emily continues saying, I was always surprised that he turned himself in. Interesting, interesting, Dan, the murderer questions today. What do we think? I think sometimes people just get exhausted, honestly. In the cases that we've covered on my show, and then I have friends, I have some friends who are criminals that have also turned themselves in, I think you just reach a point where you realize the con isn't going to work anymore.

and the idea of just, like, being able to go to a cell and sleep is almost like a relief. Yeah. You know? Yeah, the honesty is just a relief. I can get off this bike. Great. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't think it has anything to do with remorse or, like, regular human emotion. I think it's probably self-preservation. It's exhausting to keep it going. Yeah. Well, Becca wants to know if you ladies could play any villain on the show, movie. Oh, if you ladies could play any villain on any show, movie or play, who would you want to portray? Any? I like that she put play in there, because that's fun, too.

Betty Davis and whatever happened to Baby Jane is just so unhing. and delicious iconic. God, I loved it. Betty Davis was kind of great overall, just in like everything. Because even when she was playing like a young debutante, she's still the bad guy. Like she's the bad guy in everything.

This is a tough one. Like there's fun, like the heiress in dirty rotten scoundrels. I can't remember her character's name, but especially the musical version is so fun. Or I'm trying to think the first person that came to mind was that Pinter. play about the husband and wife. And it's so interesting because you never quite know who

is. Everybody's a villain and everybody's a victim at the same time. It's really interesting. What's that one called too? I've got to look that up. What about like Madame Tenadier in Les Miss? Oh, fun. Oh, yes. Or like in Sweeney Todd, Mrs. Oh, Mrs. Lovett. What's your name? Mrs. Lovett. Thank you. Yeah. Mrs. Lovett would be so fun. By the way, that's how I always felt about Cruella DeVille. I was like, I want to play her. And then they did such a good job. Like, God, Emma Stone did such a good job.

That movie was outstanding. I was like, I'm all in. Like, I'm in. They just, they nailed it. So it was cool to see something that I'd always thought would be such a good adaptation, be better than I could have even imagined. I wanted to hate it, and I am such a dork for it. Oh, I loved it.

Because when you feel territorial about something, you're like, oh, God, they're going to ruin this. And they sure didn't. They sure didn't. They made it incredible. Yeah, that was a fun question. I loved it. Oh, and this is a good one to end on. Lorraine asks, if Facebook and Instagram were used in the first seasons.

How would you imagine the show with social media? Haley posting songs, Brooke being an influencer on Instagram. Well, Peyton Sawyer with her webcam is definitely on only fans. She's just like, want some of this? What's going on? Yeah. Wasn't that a storyline on Euphoria? Like, we had our dorky little webcam,

and there was a character on that show, Season 1, that I think was doing. Oof, that's intense. Like, Cam Girls. She was a cam girl or something. Oof. Oh, man. Too much. It's dark.

Yeah, I'm really glad we didn't have to deal with that. on the show. I'm really glad we didn't have to grow up with it. How do you, that's such a hard thing to tell a story. Like, because it's inside a world that is, it's in a computer. It's like in a robot. How do you, we would have spent so much time what, filming our phones, looking at our phones, posting things. I guess, you know, people have figured it out. There's plenty of TV shows and movies out there that feature those things. But yeah, I'm with you. I agree. I'm glad we didn't have to deal with that. I don't know. Yeah, I do think it would be a very easy extension. Haley having a music profile online. Brooke probably would have been some version of an influencer and had a dynamic there for closeover bros. Payton would have been like the go-to, you know, like she would have been the like vice media like music kind of person that everyone was turning to for emerging bands. I think it all would track. I'm just glad.

that we didn't have to. I love the analog, man. Yeah, I think stuff's going to swing back. Even with, like, chat GPT, I heard that they're now going to make kids, like, handwrite their essays again. Good. To avoid making, you know,

to avoid them being able to do that computer shit. And I was like, this is how it's going to go. We're going to go back to pen and paper. We're going to go back to being in person. My son hates the telephone. Hates it. Won't carry it. I'm like, perfect.

Good. good for him. I actually just read this article about these two young guys. I think they're 19 and 20 or 20 and 21. They're like young computer geniuses who have created essentially like a, it's a web browser that will tell you what is chat GPT and what is human created. And their whole goal as these Gen Z kids is they're like, no, we don't want everything to come from a computer. We want to know what's, human. And so it's a browser you can install that will identify whatever you're looking at anything that comes from AI and what doesn't. And I was like, see, they don't want it. They don't want it. We don't want it. Enough. I want that browser. That's cool. Yeah, right? I got to find the article. Well, thanks for Q&Aing us. Yeah. Keep sending them questions. We'll keep doing more of these things. Hey, thanks for listening. Don't forget to leave us a review. You can also follow us on Instagram at Drama Queen's O-T-H.Harendh.
