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, 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, friends. We tried a Q&A segment for questions and answers something we came up with all on our own. And you loved it.

So guess what? We're back with another one. So Joy, how are we? We are fine. This is actually one of my pet peeves, Rob, when a waiter comes to the table and says, and how are we doing? And have we decided what we're going to eat? No.

I don't know why. It irritates me so much. It just irritate you guys? How are we? a group? No, it's just the we of like, yeah, I don't, yeah, it feels condescending, but I know that they're taught to do that, you know, to make it feel like camaraderie, but I'm just like, I feel like I'm being sold something immediately. Like, I can, I can see right through it. You're trying to make me your friend by saying we, oh, we're all friends now. It gives you used

car salesman. Yeah, it gives me car salesman vibes. Isn't it enough that we can just be civil humans to each other? Do we have to pretend that we're close friends right now all of a sudden, a stranger? If the waiter walks up and is like, hey, bestie, what are you having? See, that I might go for, because at least it's like just purely

pure comedy. If a waiter came up to me and was like, what are we having? Have we decided? I would hope there would be a part of the order that got messed up so I could be like, hey, excuse me, it looks like we forgot to take the cheese off this. I'm taking responsibility too.

I hope someone at some point has said to a waiter who's asked that, like, hey, what are we having? I hope someone has been quick enough to look at the table next to them and say, oh, I'll have what she's having and just see if they get the joke. But to answer your question, Rob, I'm doing well. How are you? How am I? I am doing great. How are you doing, Sof? I'm good.

You know, aside from air traffic control being an absolute nightmare and it taking 15 hours yesterday to make a five-hour trip. I have never heard of that. You were supposed to take off at 11 and took off at 4 instead? I was supposed to take off at 10, got delayed an hour, was like, eh, I can stay home a little longer, and then left, it was after 4.30. But you were at the airport the whole time. like you got to the airport for your 11 o'clock flight they delayed the flight like every 30 to 40 minutes they just kept pushing it back and then they're also canceling half of them and like i mean it's just it's insane yeah i just i'm supposed to go into newark from l a on tuesday night and don't do it there's well i have i have no other option i mean that is my only actual option on that end so i'll just either have to miss the thing in the morning because it starts at 9 a m so even if i fly into jfk it's an hour away plus the traffic that's

There's just no way for me to actually make it work. So it's either going to work or they'll cancel the flight or delay it. And if it's delayed past an hour, then I had to book an extra flight home and then a hotel somewhere else as like a holding thing. It's really a kind of a real mess right now. And I just hope everybody's staying safe. Me too. I'm glad you guys got in safe and at least you're home now. If you're listening to this at the airport while trying to kill some time, get cozy.

We've got some fun questions. you. I'll take your mind off it. Great segue, Rob. I love that. I love it. Oh, this is a good question. Yeah, give us our first one. From Baccah. What a good one. She says, I was watching Shrinking. Excellent show. If you haven't seen it, please watch it. Also, Concord. Love. And one of the producers' names was Brooke Davies. In my binge-watching sleepiness, I had a moment of, oh, Brooks producing now.

made me think if you could place your One Tree Hill character on any show either on screen or behind the scenes what show would they fit into or would you have them work on?

Oh my goodness. That's interesting. That's interesting. First of all, I love that there's a producer out there named Brooke Davies. That's great. I could see Clay doing,

I could see Clay going one of two ways. I could see him doing one of the talk head sport shows because he has he has personality he's savvy and weirdly i don't know why i could totally see him being on a big brother type show oh my gosh yes that would be fun how about brook and it's interesting because as i was thinking about it i was thinking as an actor where would it be fun to show up like like in what world would i like to play brook and i'm going well i do love shrinking What would she be doing in L.A.? Because my brain made the exact, you know, connection.

And then I'm going, no, would we go back in time? Would she have been a, like a character, a designer on Sex and the City? Would we? That was the first thing that came to mind for you was Sex and the City. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like, then part of me wants to go completely against type and, like, see Brooke having been one of the people who survived on The Last of Us.

And like, you know, maybe she's like, you know, trying to sew. winter clothes for people. I don't know. That would be so fun to me. But I didn't really think about like where she would naturally go. Also, I saw that Halloween episode. She can fight a zombie. Thank you. Thank you so much. That's right. Where does Haley go? Where does Haley? Like, I don't know. I mean, I think she fits really well in a lot of those early aughts teen shows. like Everwood and, you know. I was just going to say Everwood. Yeah.

Like, she's got a vibe that fits easily in any of those spaces, Heart of Dixie, like those kind of things. I don't know about now the, this is on my mind probably because I just recently finished it, but Bad Sisters is such a great show. And I could totally see Haley fitting in in some way of like, she would have to be removed from Tree Hill, obviously. Yeah. They would have to be a reason like.

she doesn't have her family and she's in Ireland and it's just the functional like character of who she is I could see fitting in with those women and filling a little filling a little void. I really think that would work. I love that show. It's so good. Isn't it great? Oh, it's so good. I hope they're getting another season.

I've never heard of it. Oh my God. Rob, it's fab. Rob, it's so good. It's four sisters and their fifth sister is married to a malignant narcissist who is really killing her he's destroying her i mean it's like just deteriorating her from the inside out and so they decide to kill him but he won't die this is the setup of the show basically so you know this almost right away yes you're not you're not missing anything no it's no there's no spoiler

that's sort of the setup that's what i meant but it it the underlying questions are if a man is physically abusing a woman and she defends herself it's self-defense but if she's being abused used and in like it's mental and emotional torture but there's no bruise. Is it self-defense to like do what you have to do to get out of the relationship including physical like it's like okay physical violence is never acceptable but what do you do where is the line of self-defense? And it just sort of asks the question without answering it. It's really interesting. Well and I think it asks the question really beautifully too because you do see I mean now I'm like wait well there's cases we see even where the women finally defend themselves and then they say it wasn't self-defense.

But what the show asks is like if someone in the house is going to die, how do you decide who dies first? Like if that's surely going to be the outcome, and this is getting a little dark, but it's like a really smart question because, you know, unlike in life, as a viewer, you get to see what, like, what she's really up against. And it's, it's just done brilliantly. Yeah, it's like watching one human, it's gaslight, but it's to a really dark level where he's just completely destroying her life and sucking the life out of her to the point where she is questioning her validity and existence on the planet. And not that it sounds this way from our explanations, but it's actually very hilarious.

Oh, it's so funny. It's, it's a dark comedy. Of course. I've been laughing the entire time you've been explaining this scenario. Yeah, no, it's, that's what makes it so brilliant. Well, what I realize the joy is that we're essentially explaining at like one of the murder docks on Netflix. And I'm like, wait, it's actually a dark comedy. We're missing the overarching thing.

Yeah, it's great. You should check it out. Okay. Go ahead, Rob. What's our next question? No, no, you got it. Okay, Lori Ann is asking, that's a pretty name. She's asking, did you shoot some scenes in the same spots as Dawson's

Creek, like houses or at the beach. And why didn't they use Dawson's house in One Tree Hill? Well, Lorraine, we were really trying to separate. I mean, I think we wanted people to feel the same sense of nostalgia from Dawson's Creek that they really loved. And the town certainly presented itself as a character very much in the same way that it did in Dawson's. But we didn't want to be too derivative. So the intent, with the intent really was to create our own voice. And so we wouldn't have wanted to use anything that was from Dawson's in that way. Yeah, because that immediately would take viewers out instead of getting to know Peyton's house or where Haley and her family grew up, they'd be like, oh, but that's Dawson's house. And so what you really want to avoid any time you're filming in a location that's been used iconically by another project, you really want to avoid their specific location.

locations, addresses, so that you really kind of, you know, walk, so that you really kind of travel your own road. Yeah. 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. feels 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 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. your lifetime. How about anything you would like to accomplish soon? Hannah, I don't know. I mean, listen, six saltine crackers in 60 seconds is a good answer for both

of those questions. That sounds good. Yeah, I don't know if I have a lot to say about that. I feel like I'm just open for the adventure. I have bucket list items. No. I guess I'd like to jump out of a plane, but I have a kid and... With a parachute, with a parachute. With a parachute, yes. But it's, you know, and it seems like it would be really amazing. I didn't do it before I had her. And so now that I do, I'm sort of like, well, I guess I'll go maybe when I'm like 70.

And she, you know, she'll be okay if something happens. Gosh, yeah. I mean, so many things on the list. But I don't know why this is the first thing that came to mind. I really want to go to Antarctica. I do not want to do that crossing at all, which is probably part of the reason I've still not gone, but it's just something I'd really like to see.

Yeah, that would be cool. Hey, Rob T-Bone wants to know. They saw you on an episode of The Ghost Whisperer and wanted to know what your experience was like And how it was working with Jennifer Love Hewitt? So it was awesome. It was very early in my career. I think I had done like one or two of these nighttime soaps, which like were my first credits.

And I remember love was so nice. And I was joking around like we were just saying hello or something like between setups. And I, I, because by this point, like I, I had done these two soap. So I had my sag card. I mean, I done like 100 episodes. But I was joking saying like, like, Wow, it's just so great to appear. I'm just like really hoping to get that sag card.

It's something to that effect. And she didn't realize I was doing a bit. And so she like called the first AD over. I was like, let's get you some lines. Here, let's see if we can get you some lines. So she was so sweet. Because back then it was like, you got a couple lines. Like that was huge towards getting your sag card.

And I was like, oh my God, no, no, no. I'm so sorry. That was a joke. Probably didn't land. I, no, no. Thank you, though. Thank you. Oh, my gosh.

And so she was. was awesome. And then cut to a couple years later, I was eating at Katsuya in L.A. And I was at like a two top and there was a four top with like a little divider between us. And Jennifer and her like some people were on the other side. And she spilled like a can of like Diet Coke like knocked over and like went on the floor. And she was like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry because it like puddled over to my side. And I was like, no, stop. It's completely okay. Hi, by the way. Good to see you again. She's like, oh my gosh, good to see you too. And when it came time and then they left. Of course, because they got there before us. And when it came time to pay the check, the waiter was like, actually, it was already taken care of. Oh, that's so sweet. So cool. So she's wonderful and it was a very fun experience. Also, you know who else was in that episode with me?

Lizzie Moss. Wow. So cool. That's cool. Do you guys have a favorite guest star appearance? Yeah, I really liked working on Easy on Netflix. I just did one episode of that show. And it's an anthology, so it was the third season, and it was the third episode that the character block had done.

And I was, I got to go and join them for it. And it was so fun because Joe Swamberg is such a great writer and a director, but he's a Chicago, you know, comedy guy. He's really improv-based. And so you get an outline for the episode, but no script. The whole show is improv. And I loved it. It was terrifying, but the, like, the most fun I've ever had on set. Oh, that's great.

That's so cool. Oh, that's so cool. Probably Dexter. It was really fun to do Dexter. I had, like, I had an arc. I don't know if it was four or six episodes. I can't remember. But it was really cool.

And it was one of the first jobs off of One Tree Hill that I got. So it was kind of scary. It was really scary. scary because it was a big deal show and I had all sorts of insecure feelings for all kinds of reasons in my life at that moment. So it was a good little like boost of confidence and I had a great time. And Michael C. Hall was just the loveliest. So generous and thoughtful and like such a great pro and an example of a really classy number one on the call sheet. He was great. That's awesome.

Yeah. That's pretty fun. I know that. I'm going to just leapfrog because I want to know the answer that you both have for this. So Morgan asks, what is your favorite household chore or just one that doesn't bother you? Vacuuming. Same. Yeah. Sov. Yeah.

Vacuuming is very meditative for me. But the thing I like to do the most is when I grocery shop, I reorganize everything. So when I'm putting food away, I reorganize the whole refrigerator. I redo all the cabinets. Like it brings me so much joy to get everything put away just so. I love it. I love it. Which is ironic because I hate putting clothes away.

But when I do it, I do it beautifully. I hate putting clothes away too. I hate it. And I hate sweeping, but vacuuming is, as you say, it's meditative. But sweeping is a big, like I just, it's so. a pain in the ass, but sweeping. It feels very tedious. Yeah, I think it's also the both hands motion and I have to try and catch all the dirt and look. There's not this like constant flow. The vacuuming, I actually will just put in an audio book and just like wander around my house and totally enjoy it. Or like a great playlist. Yeah. Are you, so you said vacuuming too, Rob. Is that your ultimate? I was just thinking it would be so funny if like you put in your audio book and then you start vacuuming like, but you don't realize the battery on your vacuum died like a month ago. And it's just you happily wandering around your house pushing a non-functioning vacuum. That would be great.

But you can't hear it because you have your book in. But yes, I did say vacuuming for me. Because it's just so cathartic. And it's like I'll do the laundry for the family. And I love the feeling of what I'm done with it. But laundry is tedious. And I hate like looking at two mountains of unfolded clothes on the kitchen counter. But I love when it's done.

It gives me a lot of esteem, but vacuuming is like the quickest gratification in terms of the room looks different very quickly. And yeah, it's also easier for me just to kind of dissociate and just, you know, my body's doing something, but my brain's somewhere else. I love it. Yeah. An instant gratification to your point. Yeah. Okay. I have a question for you both because this is another thing that makes no sense.

I love to clean the kitchen. counter spray. Like, I love it. I hate cleaning the bathroom. And it's the same thing. It's a spray and a wipe down. But for some reason, I love to do it in the kitchen and in the sink, but I hate to do it like in the shower or the bathtub. I'm the opposite. I'm totally the opposite. Really? That's so funny. See, this is why we're meant to live in villages. I'm convinced of it. Yes, that's what I'm saying. We're wired for community. We need each other. Everybody could do the things. thing they are the best at and then the whole project would be done. Yeah, I hate cleaning the kitchen. I hate cleaning the bathroom. We're a yin and yang. To your point though, so you can't,

there's no real comparable thing to the bathtub in the kitchen. Yeah. The bathtub's a bit trickier. You know what I mean? And the shower grout just creeps me out. It like kind of make, it just, I don't know. Oh, come on. You get some Ajax. You get some nice, like, spray that just, you leave it there and you come back 10 minutes later and squeegee it off. Yeah, that's nice. The sprayer, you spray it around. Oh, it's great. Yeah. Like the spray that does it for you, I'm a fan of. What is that? The green one. Scrub and bubbles.

Yeah. Those are nice. If I can set it and forget it and then rinse it, that's nice. But if I have to scrub every little grout line in a shower, I just feel like I'm being tortured. It feels like someone's just plucking my eyelashes. out one at a time. That's so funny. Scrub and Bubbles, if you're listening, you have some fans here that you should be sending some product to. Yes, please. Listen. That would not just be an ad read. It would be an endorsement. Thank you. That's right. 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 years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence.

Ooh, I like this one. Molly Ali wants to know. You and your group of friends rent a house or a cabin for the weekend. What is your job in the group? Are you the cook, the planner, the timekeeper, the life of the party, the DJ? I added that last one. What's your job? Oh, boy.

I would say for me, I'm either the planner or I will attempt to be some sort of life of the party. I'm definitely responsible for the food and drink. I'm the person you send to the grocery store to get all the things. Yeah, I would go on that trip with you. Same. That is definitely because I feel that most people can't be trusted with food. I totally agree. I just, I have, and maybe it's just that I'm persnickety and I have very particular taste about food,

but I do feel like I have a good tap in. to what would be, what everyone would enjoy. Totally agree. I really like that. And the sort of things that people might not always think of, but that I know I will nail, like a board, a salad with unexpected contents in it that is the thing you want when you come inside at 3 o'clock and you're not ready for dinner, but you are ready for a snack. Yes.

Like these are my specialties. And then what I like to do, particularly with a big group of people, I will either do a giant, like one pot pasta that is one of my favorite things to do. for a first meal. I will do a huge that of chili that people can eat all weekend. I'd like to do the thing that is delicious, but also like simple enough that everyone can just hit it kind of buffet style. Yeah. How do you guys feel about cornbread? Oh, so much cornbread. I mean, if it's done right, there's some bad cornbread out there. Agreed. Last time I was in Wilmington, I tried the cornbread at the Holiday Inn and it was delicious but check this out it was it was terrific i took down a whole

order to myself but also if you get the caesar salad these culinary wizards cube up cornbread and flash fry it oh my god cornbread croutons what guys it's absolutely worth your time i mean who to thunk it the little restaurant in there just doing big things that is fun i love that i think i also probably would be the cleaner upper. I'd be the straightener upper, like wandering around, straightening up things. Yeah. Would you guys do that too? Is that, is that 100%? Because at this point now, as a parent, I can't walk through a room without tidying up as I go. Yeah, it's just too much. It's as reflexive as breathing for me. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Because if you turn your back on it for an hour, suddenly the house is a tornado zone. So like, you get so good at just doing it without really,

realizing you're doing it. It's a nice skill. It's also a dangerous game, though, because I can't tell you how often I will go towards a room because there's something I want to do in that room. And then I've stopped to clean up or tidy three things on the way. And by the time I get to that room, I'm like, why am I in here? Why am I in here? A hundred percent. Oh, friends, we hope that you've listened to this while you're vacuuming or washing dishes or cleaning your bathroom or kitchen. Maybe we just kept you company along the way.
