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 in our comic girl. Drama, girl, 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. Hi, friends.

Hi. Hi, guys. That's a Brooke Davis line. Isn't it? Hi, friends. We are loving doing these with you guys, and it's actually been pretty cool since we've started doing more of it. Our Drama Queen's inbox is full of good questions. So keep them coming.

Where do we want to start tonight, ladies? We got a question from Jess. She's asking, I remember always seeing drinks on set being coffee. cups sometimes from Port City Java. Oh, my God. Was this your favorite local coffee shop? Or where was your go-to place? If not, what was your morning pick-me-up drink?

Well, as a member of the Chamber of Commerce in my local town, I run the town coffee shop in my town. And we are very proud of ourselves that we do not have a large chain in Rinebeck. mom and pop shops are so important to our community and that entire passion was fostered by what we witnessed as really young people in Wilmington. I was baffled when I first came to Wilmington and I'm like, where's the Starbucks?

And they're like, good try. You have to go to Port City Java. And that was really an eye-opener and an education for me about supporting mom and pop businesses. And anytime Sanderson, One of our drivers would pick me up. Sanderson. Sanderson always brought me a chai latte.

And to this day, if I see chai latte on a menu, I just think of Sanderson. Randy was one of my drivers and Sanderson also. And they did. They made a habit out of bringing drinks in, picking up drinks ahead of time for the people they liked. And, yeah, my morning go-to, I always like just a double espresso with a little bit of milk or a little bit milk or something, that's, that's just my standard has been for years. What about Yusuf? Oh my gosh. I mean, yes, I, I wrote into work almost every day with Sanderson. And my favorite days were when we were on splits, meaning for you guys at home, we'd be starting in the afternoon

at like 11 or noon. And we'd probably be filming to like two or three in the morning, the next morning. And so when we were on splits, Sanderson and I were in cahoots. And it would be like, okay, come, come get me 20 minutes early. We'll go to Port City Java. We'll go to Port City Java. We'll go to Jersey Mikes. What else do we want? And we would make stops around town to get all the snacks and supplies for the day. And, God, I just, I loved that. Wait, I need a Jersey Mikes sandwich right now.

Oh, what I would do. What I wouldn't do. What I wouldn't do. But, yeah, I don't know. I love iced coffee a lot. You introduced me to ice green tea. I'd never heard of such a thing until you introduced me. Oh, that's true.

True. Me too. I was very hooked. I had one today on set. What I normally do, I start my day with an Americano and then I do a giant ice green tea in the afternoon. No sweetener. No, I don't like it. I don't either. Yuck. Yeah, that's true. I didn't know that until on set. I had a sip of yours once. I was like, this is actually really refreshing. It's just so refreshing. Okay, what's our next question? We have. I want to ask. What are you going to say? Because you're in. it no i want to ask it oh my god i love it so liz oh my god i love it so liz asks why did only whitey and like sometimes peyton have a southern accent was this ever something discussed or encouraged do you want to know the real answer yes yeah it's because barry corbin and i were the heaviest drinkers on the show is we were half in the bag half the time oh my god no they say that like your accent comes out when you're drunk angry or tired And so it's painful for me to go back and watch, like, old MTV interviews and old early seasons of One Tree Hill because I had to do, like, like, classes when I worked at MTV.

They did not want me to have an accent because they thought I sounded like a hillbilly. No way. Yeah. And so I had this acting coach that was helping me, like, try to sound very mid-Atlantic. And it's like this bad kind of like Chicago, flat A sounding accent. that I try. And then our whole crew was super southern. So we would go into the trailers and everyone was like, hey man, how you doing? Cool. Good morning. Good to see you, sis. Oh, yeah. You had a good two hours with Jojo and Kelly Jefferson. Oh, guys, the minute, the minute we ever get to Wilmington or I go

anywhere in the South and I have a beer. I'm like, hey, y'all, what you do? Like, we learned it there. I'm not even from there. Henry, you grew up in Virginia. Like, I can, can't help it and that's just from spending 10 years there yeah same and i'm the same with jersey too when i go back to jersey suddenly i start talking like this you know it's just like real easy joy i like that do more i love it listen i love a regional accent it always bothered me no you know who else sounded southern hmm well no i guess he didn't in real life Colin moss sounds southern he's like a Southern dude. He plays the cop on Outer Banks.

But I guess plain junkie had like a fake New York accent on our show. Bevan had a Southern Yes. Well, yeah. So did Daniela. And Daniela. Catherine Bayliss did too. You know what? Look at that. Hey, you weren't alone. Look at you guys.

Like sometimes, Peyton. Come on. All right. Give us the next one, Hillary. I actually want a T-shirt that says like sometimes Peyton. That's what I And like sometimes, Peyton. Listen, sometimes Barry Corbyn and I would have scenes.

And we will have been at like Charlie Browns together just like three hours earlier. And we both smell like brown liquor and cigarettes and we're like trying not to use Southern accents. Barry Corbyn was a blast. Love him. Okay. Kaylin says, why is it that in the intro, Barry is the only one that's introduced as Barry Corbin as Whitey while everyone else is just their name and not a character? This is a good question for somebody that doesn't quite know how some of the things in Hollywood work in the industry. It's because Barry Corbin was such a big deal.

Yeah. Icon. He was very famous as himself. So when you get someone like Barry, they get their name and an as. That's a very big deal in what they call billing, which is how the credits are done. It's also why I think it says with Moira Kelly. Yes. And Craig Sheffer.

Yes, because they were a big deal, too. That's right. And Barry Corbin is Whitey. So it's a status thing. It's a way of letting the audience know before the show even starts. Hey, guess what? We got some big deals happening on this show. I want to be the caboose one day.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. You're going to be girl. Yeah, when you're the older actor and you're such a big deal that you get the as or the with. Remember when we were like always the youngest people on sets? And now when we go on the sets, I had. The one of the last sets I was on there,

like, wow, you've done more episodes of television than all the people here combined. And I was like, shut your mouth. Shut your face right now. Yeah, no, I can't. Did you guys see Barry on Yellowstone? Girl, everyone tweeted us about it. We have referenced Yellowstone so many times on our show.

If someone wants to tell Tyler Sheridan that we're big fans, we'll all show up on horses with Barry Corbyn. I'm a good rider. I'm ready. Dang, me too. 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-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 IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, Britt asks, oh, I like thinking about this. What do you think your on-screen kids would be up to in 2022?

What careers would they have? Oh, honey, they're still in high school. That's right. Girl, come on. How old do you think we are? Yeah, I feel like, I feel like. My boys are, what, the youngest by like a year? Yeah.

Aren't they just about to be freshmen? Oh my God, wait. Does that mean Lydia is a year above them? And then Sawyer is like the senior in high school, who they're all trying to take them to work? I don't think it's that. I don't think they're that old. Are they not even that old yet? Are they like in early high school and middle school?

I had Lydia 12 years ago. So she would still be 12. You're right. did you go to a time jump after I left at all? No. No, we did not. So that means at the most, my kids are 11. Your youngest is 12. And then Hillary, that would mean that your your kid would be like 15. 13. 13? Was it? Well, my son is turning 12. Oh, yeah. And I left like right before I got pregnant with him. So Sawyer would be 13. You know what's so funny is when people think the overlap of me getting pregnant with Gus was like my pregnancy on the show. And I'm like, no, no, no, babies.

That was practice. You're like, I just wore that foam bump around to see if I liked it. It was fine. What do you think our kids would be up to? I don't know. What is it? I mean, I could tell you what my 12 year old girl is doing. She's 11, but pretty close. Oh, tell us about the play. She's in the school play. And she's roller skating. All that got her roller skates for her birthday. and that's all she does is she comes home from school puts on a roller skates and she just is in them all day

around the house. She's super cool. She's super cool. Super confident, super like, she's amazing. She heard a friend talking about her in the back. Okay, this is how cool my kid is.

She walked into the bathroom and heard a friend talking about her to another girl and like they were in the stalls and she heard them talking about her. She walks in, she heard it and then she goes, hi.

Are you serious? I was like, oh my gosh, what did they do? She said, just, you know, she came out and she was like, hi. I just kind of got flustered. And then Maria was just like, all right, bye. It's like, she didn't even confront them. She was just like, hey, just so you know. I heard that.

Bye-bye. And then she came home and she said, you know what? I mean, if somebody doesn't want to take the time to understand me, that's really their problem. It's not mine. Oh, my God. joy you're doing it right honey you're doing it like babe i love you you're doing great you're doing that's so cool yeah i would have thought before that like your kid would be into the things that you're into you know so my answer five years ago would have been like oh so you're into music

wrong not the right answer at all now that my son is in middle school um they rebel against anything their parents are into. So the fact that like Jeff and I have tattoos and we have hung out with bands and that's kind of like, you know, leather, motorcycles, all the things. My son loves computers more than anybody on the planet. And his rebellion is being like a straight A student

and loving math and loving computers. And, you know, he comes home and he tells me all about it and I want to be a supportive parent. And I'm just like, oh my God, tell me everything. And meanwhile, in my head, I'm like, um, gleeben, I don't, I understand nothing. You're so right, though. They do. Maria's even, like, I cuss. I, I, I cuss like a sailor. I mean, I try not to, but I just do. And, you know, she's recently said to me, like,

okay, but when my friends, when we pick my friends up from school, can you try not to say, we call them grown up words instead of bad words? She's, can you try and not say grown up words, please, in front of my friends? Joy, I got in trouble for playing JZ 99 problems. in the car with Gus and his friends. He was like, Mom, you're embarrassing me. And I was like, this is Jay-Z, dude. This is awesome.

Amazing. You guys are making me realize that as much as I think that Brooke and Julian being these like creatives and artists, I'm like, I wonder if one of her boys is going to like be the next Michael Cores. And I'm like, oh, God, are her kids like football players? They're just like, yes. The opposite.

Yes. I mean, one of the, they're twins. One of them is probably a job. I hope I have one sweet little artist and one jock and no no you've got like a baseball player that spits sunflower seeds when like wears oaklies honestly I'm not mad at baseball because you get to go have a beer and eat a hot dog so I'm fine with that but I love that question you know Brooke would not allow for the wraparound oakley she would put her child in something more so he's definitely wearing oaklies like those weird ones that like come to a point oh my god like

the cycling glasses. Yes. Well, wait. Oh my gosh. We have, this is a great one from Jessica. One Tree Hill was seriously lacking in the pet department. Tell us about it.

Tell us about it. Definitely needed a therapy dog or cat to help them through their loneliness and trauma. Thanks to rubbing it in just. And did you have pets in real life during that time? Oh. So V and I bought dogs together. Remember we drove like an hour out? We went rescued little doggies.

Yeah, we did. Sweet, sweet pups. We talked about that in one of the episodes. You'll have to go back and find it. We did. We were animal people. Yeah. I did wish we had some on set.

Why didn't we have any dogs? Nobody had to go. We had Jojo's dog, Sam, in the hair and makeup trailer. Yeah, of course. And I had Haas. I mean, Haas was with us all the time. Yeah. Hoss was at work.

I'd always bring Annie to work. But guys, animals are a pain in the ass on set. Don't you hear the pilot episode when Joy got attacked by birds, you know? That's right. but they're hard they can't work hours like the rest of us can work you know they'll they'll make you stay on set as an actor when you have to pee they can't do that with an animal yeah um and you can't get animals to do exactly what you want them to do for every time that you want them to do it over and over it's really for editing that's really the really only reason is for editing because they're very hard to have on set yes they really one animal that we had was the dog that ate Dan's heart. Yep. And for anybody who doesn't know, that dog was also one of the Bush's baked beans dog.

I didn't know those commercials. Yeah. Oh, that dog was a celebrity. Oh, my gosh. Fancy dog. Damn. Mm-hmm. That dog was very expensive.

Wow. I did not know that. I had a little brother on set. I didn't need a dog. you are cleaning up shit anyway that's it I had a boyfriend and a little brother fuck it all right okay last question this is a good question christie asks how do the rain scenes work when you get wet from head to toe to immediately redo hair makeup and dry your clothes until you get the scene perfect

or is it a one and done thing how do you end how do you end with that scene every day until they get the perfect take. Oh, or do you end with that scene every day until they get the perfect take? You do end with that scene every day, yes. That's smart. But only, but only the one time. Well, you do all the acting up until the water starts.

Yeah. Yeah, over and over and over again and you get it right. And then when the water starts, usually they have, that's called a three camera day. So they bring in an extra camera. And they've got a bunch of angles. angles and and that's kind of just that.

Yeah. It's so shitty. But when we would do episodes like, you know, the hurricanes, like in later seasons, when there's the whole thing, you know, joy that you and I had to do on the bridge when like, you know, Julian's trying to give Brooks EPR and the whole mess. Yeah. What? That.

What? Oh, dude. It's so gnarly. Hillary, you're not prepared. And it was a night. It was a hurricane at night, which means that to do those scenes, we'd start filming. right at sunset and we'd film until sunrise. So you would just be wet and cold.

I was awful. It was miserable. Did they have the hot tub pools for you guys? No, they sure did not. What? Because they tried that. Sometimes. Sometimes I had a hot dog pool on a cover.

No, but that's what I said. Did I just say hot dog pool? Do you know why? Because we're drunk? No, I'm door dashing Jersey mics right now. That's why. Sorry. Oh my God, that's a dream.

There was that episode where like you were with Lucas in the rain. and I was with Ellie in the rain. That's when we had the hot tubs. Season three, they had hot tub pools for us intense. Blow up hot tubs, yeah. Because it was like winter. Yeah. They had the big rain towers. It's cold water.

And so you'd go from the cold water and you would have to like sit in your wet jeans in a hot tub pool with your acting partner. And it's just such a weird thing to do with people. And the only reason they did that was because they didn't want anyone to die of hypothermia. You already had walking pneumonia. Oh, I was so sick. That was so miserable. I was sick. You were sick.

God, we were all so fucking sick. But the problem, maybe I'm making this up, but I really feel like this happened because they were blow up, hot tubs, didn't one of them, like, pop and it was a whole thing, like, because there's camera equipment and lights. Yeah, so it was like a whole mess. And then they decided not to do them anymore. And so then in later seasons when we would do hurricanes, we'd just get wrapped in, like, blankets. Yeah. And then they put you next to a huge propane heater that's like kicking out flames. And so you just try to

like not catch on fire all night. The water in your clothes would start steaming out. You look like a horror movie. The fact that we're still alive is amazing. It's a miracle. I remember the first time we shot underwater in a pool and I'm looking down at all these lights and like electrical equipment in the pool. In the pool. And they're like jump in and go ahead. I'm like, are we Sure. Can I see the stand-in do it first? Messed up, man. Oh, God.

Yeah, we did some crazy things. We made it, guys. We did it. Well, that was five. I love these Q&A's. They're the best. Keep them coming, guys. Thank you so much.
