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. So you guys, welcome to another Q&A.

I just want to say, we sometimes answer fan questions here that, you know, we don't ever think about again, but this week I had an interaction where we had answered a fan question about what our favorite Broadway shows were and what we were excited to see. And I said, Little Shop of Horrors. And so just this past week, I took my kids to see Little Shop of Horrors. And one of the young women that was working at the Concentivor, session stand was like, oh my God, you said you were coming in and here you are. And she listens to our show. And it was like, hi. Hi, you were so lovely. Thank you so much for taking care of my family. But it was just so nice to have a real life interaction where our fan questions pop up in the real world. So thank you guys for sending these. We've got some more good ones this week. Oh, I'd love that you went to see Little Shop. Tammy Blanchard is such an extraordinary actress. I love her in everything. She's how I learned. how to cry on camera when we worked together on Guiding Light all those years ago. And I'm sure she's

in spectacular, Audrey. Yeah, she's fantastic. It was such a good time. And my son is, like, obsessed with the show now. George calls it The Stranger Things Puppet Show because she's convinced that the plant is a demigorgon. And she's like, oh, we saw The Stranger Things Puppet Show. So, oh, my God. That's so cute. It was the day that you took them to see that show that Grant and I were in New York. so we went over y'all to Hillary's right after them and the kids got back and we're in the living room and Gus is like showing me drawings from Dungeons and Dragons and then I'm asking George if she liked the play and you know when like you first get in the room with a little kid and they're excited and they can't tell if they want to like actually talk to her just grin at you and she walks over to one of

the drawings on the kitchen table and just does this and is tapping on it it's a drawing of the Gorgon Of the gorgans. She draws gorgans on everything. Yeah, like, I was sobbing, laughing. Hillary was like, oh, yeah. Yeah, she thinks it's the stranger things poppet show. I love that. She thinks that you're Sophia from Sophia the first,

and that that plant is a freaking down and gorgon. That's awesome. I love that. Kids have their reality. Yeah, all right. So we've got good questions. Where do we want to start? Mm.

Lindsey wants to know, okay, what's been your favorite Brooke Haley-Payton moment so far? So I don't know if this is asking us individually or as a group, but I think as a group would be a fun way to answer. Yeah, the trio scenes are the best. They're just so good. You know, it's funny, what this brings to mind for me and, you know, I was out for a few episodes just doing some life things. Oh, you guys see Sophia? That's crazy. Just, you know, that's fine.

Nothing important. Just, no big deal. Just getting married. But right before I left, we did the episode where, you know, Brooke wakes up in bed with Chris Keller. And when we did that scene, and I know we talked about it then, but where you guys come in and I'm just shoveling ice cream. And it was so alive.

Yeah. I think that when it's the three of us, it really is just some of our best material in general. I like the sleepover where you rip the thing off my nose or I ripped it off of your nose. Mine, it was mine. Oh, yeah, the mud mask and Hillary. Yeah, I just think that was so fun. And I like the origin story of the three of us. I want to say it's like one of those first episodes where we're in Brooks car.

The road trip. Yes. And Haley's siphoning gas and Brooks wasted in the back. I hear birds. Oh, yeah. So fun. I hear birds. Yeah, that was so.

I think that was our first inclination that like the chemistry of the three of us together was strong and that like oh we can play together like we can surprise one another because sometimes you work with an actor that doesn't like to be surprised and wants you to do it exactly in rehearsal the way you're going to do it in every single take and the three of us aren't that way the three of us are just like that mm-hmm get weird what should we do now yeah I love that oh well speaking of Sophia being super busy and unavailable for a couple weeks. Cameron wants to know what was the best song we all danced to at Sophia's wedding. I want to dance with somebody. Yes. Listen, Joy was wearing this red dress. Come on. Joy was wearing this red dress.

You could see snake through the crowd and just like everyone's rather be like a single dude. They'd be like, hey, so. It was such a good playlist. How did you put the playlist together? That song. Did you guys pick every single song? Well, you know what we did? So we knew how we wanted it to start.

Like we were going to, you know, do what you do, which is you get married, you go take photos. Everyone's having cocktail hour. You're wildly jealous that you can't be having cocktails with your friends, but you're also so happy that you just did the thing. And so we knew we were going to come into the reception once everybody moved in. And there's a tradition, one of my best girlfriends, Mondana, who I do all the I Am a Voter stuff with, her family is Persian. And in Persian weddings, like, you come in and you party for 30 minutes. Like, she had shocked being passed around in the first 30 minutes of her reception. I was like, this is the funnest, craziest vibe.

And we were like, oh, we're doing it. And so we thought, we'll walk in, we'll do our first dance. and literally like a couple of the gals will bustle my dress while we get everybody on the dance for and we'll dance for 25 minutes straight so we picked our first dance song we picked that first song

everyone danced to it's this band I'm obsessed with Duran Jones and the song is called With You and it goes you know come through bring the crew come through bring the crew come through bring the crew I just want to be with you A

and it's like it's literally I'm like it's all I want to is to be in a pile of my friends at all times. But it's a puppy pile. And so the band learned that song. And our friend Jack Garrett, who's like the most insane musician, sang with the band for our first dance.

And so we connected Jack to the band months ago. And he was like, he was like, well, is there anything else I can help with? And I was like, well, if you're like, you know, not busy writing Grammy Award winning music, could you maybe help us curate like the band list?

and for months we made playlists of everything they knew we made a like must play list please play within the first hour these are the songs that are like fine if you need to play for whatever but we don't care these are the songs like definitely don't play

and it truly it was the best playlist of my life to give to the people that came to your wedding is your playlist and that's not a hint that's not me being but also just for weddings in general like we can do that now

we have the capability to just like create a you know playlist somewhere that's what I want yeah oh my god that's actually such a good idea you're going to be busy for the next couple days I'm gonna send it to us I will I got it I got a weekend project details and we need the Spotify list I'm ready I know everyone's like could we maybe order some of those napkins I'm like maybe we should sell them I don't know do it for people at home that don't know. Sophia had every single detail. Perfect. Of course she did. But we entered the reception and they had embroidered napkins at every place setting with the same flowers that were on her dress. And they were stunning. And Joy and I are just trying to steal as many of them as we were just like,

how do we fit these in our purses? Our purses aren't big enough for this. No, you guys, Vanessa, my former roommate, like a bridesmaid in my wedding was like, I just need to admit to you because I'm sure someone, one of the planners will tell you and I don't want to get caught. I tried to steal eight napkins to take home with me. And they caught me and they took them back. I didn't get a napkin. I want to know who walked off with napkins because I know someone did. Yeah. Don't worry. I might know someone. Well, lucky for you. You know a girl. So we'll work it out. 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 the kinds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taylor Ornelis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history.

On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story. 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. Honestly, this next question from Tessa, I just want to be like, us.

She's like, what's your favorite relationship on the show? I'm like, clearly it's the three of us. Like, I even liked it when we would fight, you know? Like, I felt like, I felt safe fighting with you guys on the show because I knew that we were making good work. Yeah. You know how sometimes when you have to do like, I don't know. Yeah. Gross storylines or just heavy lifting storylines, and you're with someone where you're like, I liked.

I liked when we had fun, but I also really liked it when we'd, you know, throw each other across a room. When Joy, Joy was always punching people. You pain with so many people. Yeah, what is going on with Haley being so deeply angry? I don't know. Just holding on to it all. But I agree with that. You know, I think because we all really showed up and worked hard and, you know, it's something we talk about so much now.

Like, we love each other. not only as people, but as performers. We like to watch each other work. And so even when we would have, you know, these fight scenes or our characters would be in conflict, it was yummy because we went somewhere cool together. You know, there's nothing worse than having to do something really emotional or taxing. And the person acting opposite you is a lazy performer and you're just like, I'm going to have to do twice the work today. Oh, it's so annoying. And we've all had that.

And so when we get to act together, bring it. We're just like, oh, this is going to be fun. Because everybody brings something. Everybody's willing to be in the moment. We'll improv. We'll do it exactly as it is on the page. We'll do every version in between. And that's what you want making art to be.

You want it to be creative and surprising. And so, yeah, I liked it. Joy. Hi, Joy. Oh, hi, Joy. Hi, Joy. She wants to know, what is something every woman should do in her 20s? Oh, what's something every woman should do in her 20s?

I don't know. What can you do in your 20s that you can't do it any other rate? I mean, I don't know. I literally, guys, we're such grownups. Live alone. You know what I'm going to say? Start a 401k. Oh, my God.

Start putting your money away. Justin and DeNeil, we're so sick of being dating unemployed or a home. boys, and they were just like, Hillary, you've had a 401k and a mortgage since you were young, like, date someone else who has that. And so, yes, don't spend your money. Put it all away. Put it all away. And then kiss all the boys.

You can kiss all those waiters and musicians and all those things. Those make for fun stories when you're like a little older. Kiss one of everything. Do the romantic things. But definitely get it. an MX card, put everything on it. Put your morning. Call me on your MX. Get all those points. Just everything goes on the American Express. You will love those points in your 30s. Very good. Very good. Come to us for financial advice, everyone.

Save your money, but if you are going to spend it, get the points. Yeah. That's right. That's right. But also, wait, living alone is really important because you get to know yourself and it's really hard to get to know yourself and your habits when you're under someone else. else's eye, whether it's a parent or a roommate even, you know, having time to just live totally alone and understand, you can recognize your own habits without blaming things on other people or it's just all you and you learn how to take care of your space. It's a really, really valuable lesson. My husband goes out of town and I'm still a little like, yeah. Hey man, I was good at this. I'm going to make tea right now.

That's it. That's right. What are going to go? With the cast and crew ever vacayed together, you guys went to Iceland. Yeah. I know. I didn't get you to go to Iceland. Oh, I was invited.

I just didn't go. I know. You really missed an opportunity there. It was a great thing. Did you guys like ride horses? Oh, yeah. Under the Aurora Barrio. No better moment ever because Icelandic horses are very small.

And I grew up like riding at a cute little like, Western Barn in Central California. Like, I've been on all kinds of horses. You guys, there was a big group of us like Scotty, who was one of our PAs, like a whole bunch of us. Some folks that people at home will know and some you won't, but a wonderful crew. I was just like, I'm about to start naming all these people

and people are going to be like, who are you talking about? Not the point. Anyway, this big group of us went to Iceland. We had so much fun. We were like going to pubs. We were doing things. but the memory that is burned into my brain is being on these little Icelandic horses and Scotty his horse really starts to take off and then I hear oh and I look over and tall

James Lafferty is on an Icelandic horse that is not having it and he's trying no his feet are basically on the ground like a kid like a parent on their child's bicycle and then and and And then I look over, because I hear laughing, and Paul is also a bear on this tiny horse, but Paul looks like a Viking king. His posture is perfect. He's taking it very seriously. And so, like, our sweet young boys are losing control of these animals running into the distance. Our friend Julia looks like a princess.

And Paul comes riding up like the king of the country. And I was just like, this is the moment when I wish more than anything I had a GoPro. a helmet on my head. Oh, yes. Because I wish I could, and I would never, like, let's be honest, I'm not wearing one. But I wish I could replay that video for all of us now. I have it in my mind now. Oh, my God.

It was so ridiculous and dumb. I also went on a trip. I went on a trip with Paul. We went on a trip to Whistler with some of his friends because we have all the Canadian connections. and I realize I'm not good at snowboarding. I am not a person who's meant to have her feet attached. Yeah, I came back very injured.

I got in a lot of trouble because I guess contractually we're not actually supposed to do winter sports. We're not supposed to fly planes or ride motorcycles or do winter sports. It wasn't great. And Paul wasn't having it. He was like, I'll carry you to set. They can shut up. He was not happy that everybody was bad.

at me, but we survived. Whatever. But we lived in a town that pretty much was a vacation town. Like, yeah. We didn't have to go anywhere. We would just go to the beach. We'd go to the beach all the time, yeah. I mean, Joy, when you had that place at the beach,

your, like, second floor unit that you had early, like, I mean, the number of nights spent in that hammock. It did feel like a vacation. I loved that. Joy, we just had this conversation looking at real estate and Wrightsville Beach. We found. We found. You were on Zillow. We found a house that was like four units all in one house.

We were like, we should get it. All for sale. And we're like, if we create a drama queen's layer and rights. Yes. It would be the ultimate vacation house. 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. 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 Taylor 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. 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. Oh, I like this question. Betty, which personality trait from your character do you wish you had? Heyley seems neat You're right Haley does feel like a person with a very organized pantry Yeah I'm not neat You're an artist joy You don't need to be neat

There you go Neat, come on Don't be crazy Peyton is I don't know I don't know Do I need any of Peyton's traits Or is Peyton's traits?

Or is painting, like, am I still like barely teetering on sanity as is? Because if I feel like if I had to absorb any Peyton energy, it might be the thing that does me in. You know what? I will say, and this is actually funny because I was going to say this for you and her. And I realize I do feel this way about Brooke as well. Like, Peyton started a record label in high school. Brooke started a fashion company in high school. It has taken me until recent years, regardless of anything you guys have said or my, the other friends and people whose opinions I trust have said to me about what I'm capable of.

It has taken me until recent years to go, I can do that. You know what? Yes, I can. Me too. And I would love to have had the self-confidence I am discovering at 40 at 17. for sure yeah definitely like that would have been cool i think we still have a posture syndrome yeah that's true they were very ambitious young women peyton and brook and haley just going off on tour yeah um and so yeah let's all just let's be as ambitious as possible what are they going to say

no you can't do that that's right just go for it you got to go for it i would really like that all right Kathleen is asking, what's your favorite TV show that you could watch over and over again and never get sick of? Friends and Frasier and, I mean, Seinfeld, too. I don't know, like those are kind of real standard. I love Lucy. I have been watching since I was a kid and I still do watch it. So maybe that's my answer. I mean, you guys know what mine is.

Do you know? I feel like I say it all fucking time. I'm so obsessed for. Golden girls? No. Freaks and Geeks. I'm obsessed with this show. Yeah.

And I have such a crush on John Francis Daly, the little boy who is now a grown man directing movies and stuff. I just think he's, like, marvelous. And my son just recently got into D&D, Dungeons and Dragons, which Sophia experienced. He, like, came out and he's, like, talking about dungeon masters with her. And the characters on that show play Dungeons and Dragons. They're, like, nerdy little boys. And now I've got this nerdy little boy to show.

show it too, and I get to relive it with my son, and I can't wait. I'm so excited. I love that so great. What is your soap? Oh, man. I mean, mine kind of span, yeah, when I think about growing up, I watched I Love Lucy, Golden Girls, and Mr. Ed, the show about the horse on Nick at Night, like, religiously. When they took Nick.

When they took Mr. Ed off the air, I sobbed uncontrollably. My parents were like, oh, I was devastated. I was like, I'm never going to be able to watch it again. And then I think about like things that were super impactful for me later in life. Like, I can always watch an episode of Sex in the City, always. And my very favorite show of the pandemic, which now I've seen all the way through three times, is Feel Good, May Martin's show on Netflix. I love that show, you guys. I love it.

and sometimes when I'm like, I can't, I'm too tired, I can't possibly pick a show. I don't have the capacity to be like stressed out over everybody shooting each other on Ozark or like whatever. I'm watching that I love, but like I get overwhelmed. I'm like, I'm just going to watch it feel good. Oh, I love that.

Yeah, and like that's a new show. Keep it coming. Modern classics. Thank you guys for your questions. That was fun. I like chatting with you girls about that. That's Steph. Yeah.
