Hey, everybody. Welcome back to a fun surprise Q&A with you guessed it. Sof, Joy, and myself. Hello. Hello. We have some fun questions here today. Thank you guys for being so proactive in writing in. I love these. Indeed. Who wants to kick us off? I'll go. Becky wants to know who is your favorite guest star and why? Oh, that's so hard, Becky. Favorite in nine years? Okay, let's really limit this. It has to be a guest star. It can't be recurring. Like true guest star. Oof.

Oh my gosh. I'm going Gerald McCraney. Oh, yeah. That feels nice. You know what? So great. I was going to say, I can't remember if Daphne started as a guest star or recurring.

But in my brain, I'm like, well, obviously we got Daphne and then we kept her forever. And for me, she was my favorite surprise five years in. but I don't actually know what she was hired for first. Or Julian Sharon Lawrence coming in as Julian's mom. Was she more than one episode? She sure was, but again, that classification is so hard. But God, Sharon was great. True.

I'm going to say Amanda Shul, because she for sure started as a guest star. I love that. And then obviously became recurring. But proper tried and true guest star only, Jerry Rice. Yes. I love it. Because he was Jerry Rice and he also was really good at acting. And so his stuff is all funny.

Yeah. That's true. That's good. You win the gold for that. That's so good. By the way, when you guys write in fans, I love that we have a lot of normal names. But maybe we spice it up and just like put your nickname. Oh.

You know? Because this next question's from Nick. But like, Nick, wouldn't it be cool if you just gave us like your high school nickname? It was like, instead of saying this quick next questions from Nick, it was like from Buzzsaw. So I'm just saying, if you guys want to spice it up, spice it up. But we could do a little sleepless in Seattle, too. You could be like, you know, nice in Nebraska. That's a bad one.

But somebody else is funnier than me, I'm sure. I really like that idea. And then you definitely know it's your question. Because feasibly two people named Nick or Lisa could ask similar questions. So if it's your nickname, you really know that we're reading you. not to mention when you just put nick there could be 50 other nicks whose girlfriend listens to the podcast and he goes hey guess what that was my question actually and it's like no it wasn't nick but you can't prove it because there's no last name so this next question is from buzzsaw aka nick what's the story from set that you'll tell your grandkids oh my gosh 10 years of stories the first thing that came to my mind was a hurt came party, but that was after work. Does that count? That doesn't count. I might have to count. From set.

From set. Bus saw was specific. Okay. Okay. I had to think about it in terms of if a kid asked me what was one of the coolest things you ever got to do on One Tree Hill. Then I had an immediate first thought, which was when we got to throw the real USO concert on the base in Jacksonville. And just how cool. cool it was to be filming something but also to do it for real to bring all those bands in to do it for all the families on the base that was that felt like such a privilege that's a great answer well i've taken it now joy so i know i know i know okay well i'll stick with the live performance thing though getting to play haley at her height doing that we belong you know singing

pat benatar and doing that giant concert tour and all the, I mean, I guess actually, this is kind of a double answer because it was on set and offset, but it was for the show when we went on tour. And I actually went on tour with Michelle Branch and Gavin DeGraa and Tyler Hilton, and we did this like 35 city tour

that they filmed some of, yeah, that what a once in a lifetime experience. Yeah. And then to come home and sing Pat Benatar with Pyro? Come on. Come on. You have to tell your grandkids about that. So good.

I'm going to say it was when we all went, was it Colorado? No, Utah, right? Oh, yeah. And we got to go, we all, yeah, Park City. And we all got to do that scene where we were all sledding down the hill or intertubing down the hill. Yes. And it was just, and it started, it was snowing on us in real life while it was happening. It was just so picture perfect and fun.

That's like all the reactions you see in that scene are us just genuinely having fun. Yeah. That was the best. I had to do a scene with an owl. They were like, put your arm out, and this owl's going to land on you. And I remember the owl looking at me, and I was like, you are about to peck my face out, aren't you? Oh, my God. I'm about to lose my career right now.

It's going to happen. I thought you were going to be like, the owl looked at me, and I could see you are so wise. And you're like, no, I'm going to die. I'm about to die. 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 Taylor Ornellis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history. 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 Sage, Burn Bridges, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, Lisa, who also clearly needs a nickname, Rob, you got any ideas?

Oh, no. Okay. Lisa wants to know what is a hobby you decided to try that surprised you with how much you enjoyed it? I take back Lisa's nickname, The Closer. Okay, I like that. Poker? Is that a hobby? Yeah. I think so long as you're not, you know, betting them.

mortgage on it. Sure, it's still a hobby. No, just like a little dinner table. I taught Maria, you know, we have a little fun around the dinner table playing poker sometimes. I like that. I'm going to say Dungeons and Dragon. Although I wasn't, I mean, listen, I knew I was going to like it, but I was, I really loved it. Like, there was a lot of nuance to it that I just was, I just love big time. That's so cool. I've still never played D&D and I would like to sometime. Is this a computer version or a board game version? Oh, no, no, no.

Like, we found a friend to be a dungeon master, and Jenny would cook up feasts. We'd put on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack on the background. Yes. And it was like me, Jenny, and one of my best friends. And the dungeon master, like, put us through a proper campaign. And it was so much fun. Whoa, you entered into the domain. Yep.

I mean, we're all storytellers. So it's our forte. It's basically, it's just like theater. You know, you're just, you get to create a character and then be that character. and it's just it's great wow you need to meet um sometime have you ever overlapped with debor anne wall from true blood she's so good but i know who she is because i know she plays d and d as well so deborah and i made this really fun movie together during covid ironically called deborra she's brilliant and like genuinely one of the coolest people i've ever worked with and she is like cream of

the crop dungeon master people like die to play d and d and she was like i'll teach you and so we should do that i would love that i recently saw a clip of her um who plays the the deceased brother on the bear super popular oh yeah john berenthal john berenthal i saw a clip on the podcast yes asking him like have you ever done d and he's like no no no she's like we're going to do it right now yes and she creates a scenario for him and i that was where i was like oh my gosh not only does she play she's like very very good at this She's like an expert. I'm looking this up right now.

Yeah. Let's be friends. It's really good. A hobby that I tried that surprised me how much I enjoyed it. Well, Joy, you know this. I sort of is my methodology to unwind slash de-stress after a long day. I, for fun, started to build like fictional houses on Pinterest and really found that I enjoy it so much. So now I help people make, like, design decisions, like Joel's checkerboard floor.

We picked the direction. Thank you. Yes. In the office you're currently sitting in. I love helping people figure out their living spaces. Yeah, you've a really good brain and an eye for that. It is, I do not understand it. It takes me forever.

I love that you can see it. You can see patterns together. You can see the right colors, even though most people would probably look at it and be like, uh, those go together. And then you put them together. in a room and they do. And it's weird because it doesn't translate into other arenas that you think it would. But for some reason, it's like houses in my brain turn into trigonometry and I'm good at it. And I just really like it a lot. So great. Okay, Emily's asking what our favorite time of year

to visit Wilmington is and why? Oh, gosh. End of September. So pretty. And we often have conventions then so we get to do that. I was going to say my favorite time is convention time because I get to see all of you guys and then meet fans. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's in my head because that one that we just did, wasn't it? It was like in the 20s, the 21st or 22nd or something of September. And it's that perfect time where it's still warm out, but the humidity from summer has decreased. It's like it's warm but not hot, but you can still walk around in a team. shirt and shorts at night if you want to. And you can feel that fall is coming. Oh, it's my favorite. I love that in New York. But for Wilmington, I like when spring is turning into summer.

I think because when I first landed in Wilmington, it was so hot. And that was just my, it was like the welcome, welcome back to the East Coast because I had been living in L.A. and it was just welcome to that hot, wet summer feeling that I had known in, I mean, in my childhood in Texas, which was definitely not East Coast, but it was hot. But then in like my teen years, that adolescent time on a lake and it's hot and humid and you're by the coast. And I just loved it. So when I arrived in Wilmington feeling all that, that's what's in my bones about that city. And I still love going back and getting off a plane and feeling like I'm in a sauna. I feel, I love it. It is weirdly nostalgic. You're like, God, I'm so hot. I'm happy about it. And

Early Gardens is so beautiful in the spring, too. Like, all the flowers are just up everywhere all over that city. Yeah. That's fun for me. I like that. Allie writes, if you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go? Is it really cheesy to say I want to be right where I am? I was going to say the same thing.

You and I both have been moving around so much that to finally land at home, I'm like, I don't really want to go anywhere. I don't. I'm so happy to be here. Yeah. I'm going to ditto that. I was going to say home. I'm in a hotel room right now, but I'm going home tomorrow and I was going to say, yeah, I've been away for three and a half weeks. I'd like to be home. Yeah. That's such a sweet stage of life. Because I think back to when we were all in our, you know, early 20s. We were like, okay, well, if we're going to be off on Saturday morning by 4 a.m. I could just go straight to the airport and get on a 5.30 flight and then fly. And now I'm like, absolutely. There's no. I want to go home. I want to go home and get in bed. I'd like to be in bed by 9.30. You know, I will say if I had to come up with a runner-up, those Belmont trains through Europe, the Orient Express. It's my absolute dream.

Yes, that is absolutely where I would love to be. If I didn't have a million things to clean and organize and really just enjoy soaking up being home, you can just put me on one of those Belmont trains any time. Okay, I will start forwarding you the videos because when I'm too. too tired to build a house I don't own on Pinterest at me, I go on Belmont's Instagram and I just watch all the train videos for like 15 minutes. And then I go to bed. Yeah. And I keep hoping that doing that will make me dream about trains, but normally I dream about nonsense of all things. But that's got to be the best way to fall asleep on a Belmont train. Don't you think? Just being gently rocked like a baby, like a fancy baby. A bucket list item for.

for me for sure. Like one of those nine, 10 day Belmont train just, rock me, mama like a wagon. That's it. Sorry. Does anyone else have this? Like, it's so, there's something so comforting to my brain about knowing I have this little fixed space, this little room that is my own world, like with a view of the outside. There's something like the idea of being on that train and just watching the world go by and like, this is my safe space. This is my bubble. This is my bubble. that my brain is like, that's so romantic. I want to do that. Do you think it's because we grew up watching the Polar Express?

Is it like deep childhood nostalgia? Is it? I grew up on Agatha Christie. That's why I love those trains. Yeah, because there's a mystery afoot. That's right. But here's the thing. If there was, okay, this actually might be a movie we should make.

Because think about it, if all of us, for someone's, let's say, I don't know, 50th birthday or something, decided to take a train trip. then there was a murder on the train. You know we would manage to solve it. A hundred thousand percent. I have no doubt in my mind that our collective brains could solve a murder. I agree. Is that just hubris? Like, am I crazy? I've watched so many and read so many murder mysteries. I feel like, no, I got this. Only one way to find out, we have to do an escape room together. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Next podcast tour. Okay. Actually, friends, if you could tell us, if you have a particularly great escape room in your hometown.

Can you send those to us? Because then we can plan where we're going next. Guys, hear me out. What if we did a show that just followed us doing escape rooms together? Like a reality show? 100%. It would be so funny. It would be hilarious.

It usually takes about an hour to solve one anyways. We'll sure have 40 minutes of good content. Just mic us, put up some cameras in the room. Guys, did we just become the mystery solvers? Yeah. I want to do this. Oh, my gosh. It's happening.

Like, the way I miss MythBusters. Right. So, yes. We could have guests every episode. We could bring in the MythBuster guys. We could bring in like a Briné Brown. You know, she's got her own unique set of like problem solving skills. 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. 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.

Listen to Burn Sage Burn Bridges on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This question feels like it was made for me, you guys. Hannah, if OTH ran a summer camp, please, please, can we? Who would be in charge of which activity? That's a great idea for the next convention. If the FWB, yes, is just doing like a summer camp version, and we are all camp counselors.

It's my favorite thing. Sophia, yeah, you're the ultimate camp counselor. What activity are you in charge of? I don't know. I kind of feel like I'd be, I'd be like running camp manager. Yes. Camp manager. And then everyone gets to do like their highlight.

Like Joy, I feel like end of camp, let's say, you know, two weeks sleep away camp, like the end of camp, jamboree that happens at night that goes into like the campfire and everyone performs and does songs. You're the leader. Yes. You're the director. Yes, I'm the talent show. Talent show director.

That's it. Rob, what are you teaching? Are you doing like an activity? Are you leading a sport? I could do a sport, but I feel like Antoine and James are probably better suited to just do like a really cool basketball camp. Or do they run like capture the flag? Could be. I think I'd be better suited doing like D&D and snacks.

You could teach improv. I could teach improv. I'm just saying like, give me all the indoor kids and I will set up a massive game of D&D complete with theme snacks. I love that. I love that. Yes. You know what I would also do? I'm realizing because, yes, I would be a good director of said camp, but everyone has to

contribute. I would be the one like leading the trail rides. That'd be my thing. I'd get all the kids on horses. Yeah. And I would do the daily trail ride. I could also see you planning a really good murder mystery type event because you're very detail oriented and you're a storyteller. I could see you orchestrating that very well. That's a really kind way to say you're very long-winded and I cherish our friendship. No. Nope. You read

between the lines incorrectly, friend. You are perfectly winded. Oh my God. Bless you. Every once in a while

I'll be like, and then this thing happened. And then, and I look at people, I'm like, I'm still talking. I'm almost there.

That's good. I like that we keep coming back to this murder mystery theme. I really, I know they made a movie of clue. But don't you think maybe it's time that we do another one?

That feels like an evergreen film. Like every 10 years there should be another clue because every time you play a board game, it's different. So maybe we need to do like a one tree hill meets clue overlapy thing. I think that's great. I mean, that's the time for it. You know, the murder mystery one with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler was so fun. Yes, I loved it.

The glass onion and knives out stuff. Glass onion is so good. It's definitely a genre. that's coming back, the campy murder mystery. And we get Tim Curry to come back and play the butler again. Oh, my God. As many of those people as we can get, absolutely, because that whole cast was so good. Genius.

So maybe summer camp is like dress rehearsal for our film. Yeah. Okay. Did we just come up with our own Sundance Film Labs? Yes, please. Oh, God. This podcast finally ends, and there's 78. projects and it's weight.

I honestly can't wait. It's a dream. Okay, I want to bounce to this one because I think it's good. Ray is asking, Rob, are there any current athletes that you think Clay would try and recruit for fortitude? Ooh. Who you paying attention to right now in sports? Oh, my goodness.

The problem is I don't follow any college sports. So let me just pretend that they're all brand new. There's this up-and-coming high school player named LaBron. John James that not a lot of people are paying attention to, but I really think could be something great. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know anyone, I don't know anyone new.

Yeah, I don't either. So if you plan to pay attention to, you, you've got tapped in on sports. Who are you? Who's exciting to you? I mean, yeah, but the thing is, is I'm like, I don't know. Everyone I follow is in the league. I mean, okay, okay, wait. Who is Brooke pitching to Clay right now?

Flage Johnson from Ellis. you. She's an unbelievable basketball player and an incredible musician who just casually dropped a song with a little Wayne. And she's in college. And I'm like, okay, okay, honey. Flage is incredible. I meant gone are the days when people are like pick a lane. So stupid. I'm so glad. Pick a lane is a stupid thing to say to someone. Just driving all the lanes. It's such a silly thing to say to someone. Yeah. And it's a great way of calling yourself out for being simple. It's a great way of saying, like, I can only do one thing. Yeah.

So I'm limiting everyone else to that same standard. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know what it gives me? It gives me, like, childish envy energy. Like, who do you think you are that you can have two jobs? And you're like, well, if you want to have a side hustle, why don't you just go have one? Yeah.

You know? Patrick. What's Patrick's nickname, gang? I'm not witty like that. I have to take time for my comedy. It doesn't happen like yours. Patrick, aka the comeback kid, writes, what is something that's important for you to do for your own self-care?

Hmm. Love that question, Patrick. Yeah, thanks, Patrick. My most recent self-care was I had one day off in shooting, and I booked a massage and a facial. Yes. Wow. And a facial, yes, taking care of your skin.

That is really important. Although, you know something no one talks about that caught me way Offguard, extractions are one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. And she didn't even give me a warning. She just went in for it and I was like, oh, I'm sorry. Did you just stab me in the face? It was like, oh, I'm just doing extractions. It does really feel like that.

Yeah, it's not funny. It's excruciating. I just put a membership to Hot Works where you go in and it's like there's 10 private saunas that have screens in them and you go do private workouts in the sauna. no way yeah it's at like 180 and that sounds like my worst nightmare i was going the opposite way i was like that sounds incredible no i thought it was going to be the worst because i've done hot pilates before and i hated it but there's something about being alone in the room or you can fit you can fit two other people in the room i would say maybe one other person comfortably but uh i was surprised

i was really surprised at how much i enjoyed it i've been back a few times and um yeah i'm into it hot works and like working out in a sauna who knew i went to there's this place next time you're in l.A i think you would really like this it's a i don't know how you classified a wellness studio called pause they have um cryotherapy which you could not pay me all the money in the world to do i won't do it uh i did four chicago winters i'm set but they have similar to what you're talking about they they do contrast therapy so there's a room um you can go and in alone or you can go in with like four friends, which is sort of a nice little, you know, afternoon Kiki makes me feel like I'm, you know, like a Danish person who takes better care of

myself than I do. And you do the sauna and the cold plunge. It's contrast therapy. Yeah. So you can like sit in the sauna and then somebody dunks and they stay under for the minute and they get back in the sauna and then somebody else goes and you just sit and chat and it's like, you know, when you read about the Nordic countries and why they're so healthy because they sauna, I'm like, I get it. This feels like a way to hack living. What is the difference for you between the cold plunge and the cryotherapy? The cold plunge is quick and not a literal freezer. Like the idea of voluntarily stepping into a freezer and having to wear like mittens and

protective eye goggles, I'm good. I can duck myself in cold water. I have friends who live in Idaho part of the year and they have this like beautiful piece a land and there's a little river and we'll go like in the snow and dunk and cold plunge in the river and run back in the house like I'm not averse to a little bit of an adventure but I draw the line at a at an actual freezer that sounds like the opening of a murder mystery to me like you you know somebody got stuck in the cryotherapy freezer like I'm set I don't want to do it that has to have been done on one of the procedurals right a hundred percent yeah I know the tanning bed

has been done it's been yeah has to have been it feels like a procedural or an S&L skit should do that. One of the two. You know? Well, thanks everybody. Thanks for joining us for the Q&A. We hope that you're happy and healthy and finding your own ways of self-care and

all the other fun things. Yeah, if you've got any self-care hot tips, send us those too. Along with your nickname, please and thank you. Please and thank you. Hey, thanks for listening. Don't forget to leave us a review. You can also follow us on Instagram at Drama Queen's O-TH.
