First of all, you don't know me. Were 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 Cheering for the Right Drama Queens up girl Fashion. But you'll tough, girl. You could sit with us. Girl Drama, Queens, Drama, Queens Drama, Queen's Drama Drawn MC, Queen's Drama Queens. Well, Hello, Drama Queens fans. We are thrilled to be here with you today for our first ever bonus listener Q and A episode. It's bonus time, you guys. You earned it. What you've won our dear and devoted fans who we endore is a quick Q and A with us. You guys submit so many amazing questions, and you know, we normally do like to listener questions at the end of every episode, but we're celebrating the end of another year. We've made it to the end of one and we're just really barely but we're hanging on and we're hanging on together, and we want to do it with all of you. So we thought we would do a devoted episode that is just a Q and A with some of the great questions. You guys have submitted, so let's dive in. It's kind of like being at a convention. Yeah, it's like we do it at a convention. It's like a panel. It's our cyberpanel. Joy, what's our first question? Okay? Our first question is from sallyar b one two three Hello Darling. Hello. The first question, the question is that you've asked, is what is your favorite character trait of your character? And do you share a trait with your character? It's always a question, it is because how can you play a character without some of yourself coming through? That's just you know, that's just cut you well, the thing that's that our easiest to play, or the things that are closest to you. It's and it's easier to congratulate a totally separate entity, like I really like that my character does. It's kind of self congratulatory. Um, but you know, without being a jerk about it. You know, look, my favorite character of Haley is her character trait is that she is Um, she's got an iron spine. I love that about her. You know, it's also a character trait that I am that I uh desire to emulate in my life. Even though it has gotten me into trouble at times because when you get really um staunch about things that you believe or that you think are right or whatever you know, it can you can kind of hunker down on It makes it hard to be flexible. But the flip side of that is you don't um succumb to pure pressure a lot. It's a there's a lot of confidence involved in being able to stand your ground with something. So you know, it's a double sided a double sided coin or double ledged sore. I don't. I don't know, but there's there's good and bad to both it. Nevertheless, it is still a character trait that I think, ultimately, ultimately, when combined with love, ends up being one of the one that I would like to keep in my life. Anyway, it ends up being more good than bad. I've always respected to that about you, Joy, you never cave to peer pressure. You just absolutely know what you want and you're true to it. And yes, thank you, that's that's so true. What about you guys? Yes, So what do you love about Broke? I'm still thinking I'm ruminating, okay. I I love that Brooke Davis is very bold and unapologetic. I always feel like I'm in trouble or I'm bugging somebody, or like I just feel like I'm in the way all the time. And I think that maybe just like comes from anxiety or whatever. And I love that she is just like, no, I'm here, I deserve to be here. Everything's great and I'm awesome. That that is something I would love to emulate. I think the thing that we are very similar about is that we go zero to a hundred real quick in defense of the people we love. And you do maybe in that hell yeah, oh my god, if anybody talks with either of you, it's like it's war. I'm coming with a flamethrower, like no ifs. And some people may not like that, but that's something I appreciate. Like I love hard, I love my people, and whether it's like my humans or or us as a human community, I think that's standing up for people with a with a like ferocious love, not being willing to turn the other cheek to injustice or abuse or mistreatment. That's something I am. I am. I I like about myself and I like that. Um. I like that Brooke has that on like perhaps a level eleven out of ten. Yeah, I want to be with you in a fight, like we're picking James Joy and I are on your teams, Like get behind me, let's go, get behind me. I'll take the first punch. Weird enough. I actually posted something on my Instagram stories today that I copied from somebody else that I think really applies to Peyton Um. And it's from Scott Berry Kaufman, who is a cognitive scientist and humanistic psychologist, and it says, tragic optimism is the search for meaning during the inevitable tragedies of human existence and is better for us than avoiding darkness and trying to stay positive. And I think I know right now. I mean, we've talked about the losses that I've experienced in real life this year, you know, like in years past, I get really down about them. Um, But tragic optimism is something that perhaps I got to learn from Peyton who continues to leave a door open, like literally in her home, that door is always open Um. And perhaps that's a metaphor for her continued optimism that even when stuff is just and miserable, there's a chance that it could get better. Yeah. I love that. It's so truly, that is so true. She does there's always like a threat of hope somewhere that that she really holds onto, and it's it's like a little light inside of her all the time. It's awesome, it's real sad when it goes bad. Okay, well, thank you for that question. Let's see we've talked about some of these that I'm as I'm scrolling through, I'm like, okay, Well, we've talked about what the audition process was like. That was in one of our earlier Drama Queens episodes, and the characters we ended up playing, and who we auditioned for and all that. Um a line in the show that you'll never forget I can't that was I can't get around Dan with his heart attack going you better hope I die better if I dies. And yeah, maybe maybe some of those questions we've answered we'll come back to at some point if we do another one of these, if you guys like it. But so, is there a line that you remember oof um or that is there a line from the show that you say in real life. I don't know if there's a line, a specific line I say in real life, but I think the that moment in I think it might have been season four UM where we did the storyline where we all had to take the pictures that represented us and like really got vulnerable about feeling like she was not enough. That that has stuck with me because that that was one of the things that was put on the show, you know, based on a conversation I had about my real life and it felt very naked and scary in the way that you talk about you know, it feeling very naked and scary, and the confessional um in season two, episode five and ah to see the response of that and how much it meant to fans then and how much it continues to me into fans now, it really cemented the the kind of holy invitation of real vulnerability for me and I I know that isn't exactly a line, but the line that goes along with it is you know Brooks quote about people are going to label you and it's you know, it's how you overcome those labels, and it goes on and on. I just love that. I love I loved that so much and that has really stuck with me. That's awesome. Do you guys have like a specific line rather than you better characters? I do. I can't. I can't think of anything right now. My love language is when will do things for you, like um, without you asking, you know, when they anticipate your needs or they just like handle something that you're too overwhelmed to handle. And so I like this mantra in the back of my head for years has been that line that Peyton says at Lucas and Lindsay's wedding in like the dream where she says, when you fixed my car, you fixed my heart. And it's like you did a thing that I don't know how to do, and you took care of like a really high stressed situation for me, and it was an act of service. That's my love language. And so there will be times when someone does something really nice for me and I'm like, when you fix my car, you fix my hearty langua. That makes such a difference. So hey, somebody's asking us, do we think Karen looks more like Nathan's mother and dev looks more like Lucas? About that? But for years Chad originally cast As didn't he supposed to be supposed to be Nathan, and then he decided you want to be Lucas or something like that. Yeah, I think there was a casting snaff. Who there there was? What's the story behind that? Sof yeah, because they wanted Chad to play Nathan. They wanted him to play the bad guy. But Chad had played a bad guy on Dawson's Creek, so he didn't want to play another bad guy. He wanted the chance to play you know, this sensitive writer guy. And and so the studio was like, well, who do we get to play Nathan? And then they go, we can't get rid of her? Yeah, like what are we gonna do? Um? So they went out on this search and so yeah, we always joked, you know, privately as a cast that it's like Nathan and Lucas are switched at birth. We should do that sometime, Like, you know, we should just do a table read and have the boys swap. That would be fun. Oh I would love that. I think I would love that so much. Okay, Megan Nicole wants to know what do we miss from the early two thousand's not low rise jeans. I'll tell you right now. Oh my gues, do not bring those back. I see them coming, and I don't like it any part of those at the only part I want is the top part. The missing missing part. What do you guys actually missed from I missed life without a cell phone in your pocket everywhere you go. I was gonna say the same, I missed life with no social media. Yeah, I do too. I really missed the bands, guys. I missed the band so much. There was a year where, like I saw, I saw the White Stripes at one of their first shows in New York City. I saw the Strokes, I saw like the Beast Boys, I saw like weez Are, like every good band, like there was so much outcast put out a great album. There was such good music and it was an electronic It was just really like like basement band rock and roll, and the hip hop was really good. I just, yeah, I'm going through a thing. Does every old person go through that phase where they're like, I missed the good hole day, I missed the music of my era. Yeah. I make my kids listen to all that stuff on like satellite radio. I found a playlist on Apple that's just like the Killers and White Stripes. I love that. Yeah. I remember when the first Kings of Leon album came out, and my life has changed, makes me. I saw them open for ben Queller, like they were opening for someone else, and I was like, who are these handsome little world with those voices and those beats? God, they're just so incredible. Yeah, maybe we need to go to one of these one of these reunion festivals. Yeah, yeah, we do. I think we do. Oh wait, guys, this has nothing to do with music, but it does feel romantic and obviously we're all romanced by the by the music of the Earliotts. Save Metz asks what is your favorite spot for a first date? Who do you like to go on a first date? I'd like to go for a drive or should I tell me more? Well, I have I have one first date rule. No makeup, really, no makeup on the first date, because if you don't like what you got, you don't you don't get to get me all cleaned up. I don't. I don't show up a mess. But I don't. I mean, I just don't put makeup on for the first date because it's like, you gotta you gotta take what you see is what you get. I love that. Yeah. Yeah, but by the way, why don't you tell us that before? We could have saved ourselves so much trouble. You're telling you all now? Um? And uh, and the other. And guys love it, by the way too, because they're so like, oh my god, you don't care, you don't like, you're not fuzzy, you know. It's like kind of I think it helps them let their guard down a little bit too, so they feel like they can relax. And also that's why I like not going on dates where you just have to sit there and stare at each other. I don't love a dinner date. I prefer to go do something together because you can you can watch Throwing is great, you know what whatever, Like you've got a place where you can go throw an ax or shoot a gun or shoot a bow and arrow, like, go have some fun. But but you can watch how someone problem solves. You can see how they interact with the people around them. You can talk while there's an activity and you're not just forced to stare at each other with that pressure. Um yeah, I like an activity date. I don't like money on dates, like because because I've been working since I graduated high school, there's just this innate guilt where I feel like I have to flip the bill for everything, and that emasculates some dudes and other dudes are like, this is awesome. I'm gonna do this forever. Um, it's also a problem. Yeah, there's there's not a win there. Um. I liked going on like walks, like, oh I found a nice nature trail. Let's go get sweaty to Joy's point, no makeup. I'm gonna go make myself look real rough. Uh and you're gonna like it? Yeah. Yeah. When Jeff and I first met, we did a lot of hiking. He saved me from a mountain lion. It was thrilling. If a guy does ask you out though he's paying, I'm sorry, I just he's paying. He asks you out, he's paying. If you ask him out, he probably would be. He'd probably be a super nice guy. An offer to pay anyway, and then you know it's nice to let him. But you know, yeah, there's no if answer. Butts about that. I think if he asks you, I think that's a person who asks another person on a date should pay because they invite it. Yeah, Sophia, where are you going on your hot date? Oh? Man? Um? Yeah, I love I also love to get out and do something. But I also man, I mean, you guys know me. I love food. I love a good meal, but that's only a rally, like we're going oh yeah, oh my god. If somebody like took me to the Women's March on a date, I'd probably be married already. Um no, Like, I don't know. I like, I like to not have the pressure of being stuck at a meal. But if something's going really well, I love to get a meal. So that's why it's fun to like maybe go meet to do something like I don't know, I went on a great day to New York and to meet like with a coffee and go walk the high line and then if it's terrible, you're like, this was fun by And if it's great, then you go to dinner. Yeah. Yeah, I like the option of continuing or leaving. It makes me feel like there's not so much pressure different charters. Yeah, I just need a parachute that I can pull the string on at anytime. I just got a text to my friend, I gotta go man totally. Yeah, Um okay, I see one that I like. Costa Justinia says which guy had the sweetest offscreen personality? I mean, we had a lot of great boys on our show, but Tyler Hilton, to me, such a fun It's been such a great personality and to be the sweetest man. I have to play a total sleeves ball. Oh sweet baby Tyler. He's Tyler is like a great person to do love scenes with, or like any kind of romantic scene with, because he's so thoughtful and he's so above board and he's so trustworthy. And we had to do when we did this Christmas movie together, he and I had to do this scene where the director was like, Okay, you two are going to kiss, but I want you to make the lean into the kiss last as long as humanly possible good, which is a very strange acting exercise to do with anyone, let alone someone you've been buddies with so intimate, and he took it so seriously and he's just the loveliest person to act with. Joy, You nailed that one. You win, Ding ding ding? Yeah, all right, let's see. GABRIELLEA ninety Rose wants to know what's the best professional advice someone gave you that you think is worth passing on. Oh, best quessional advice. Oh, I've got one go give it. So. I remember when we were gearing up to direct shadowing directors in Wilmington's and one of the best things that I ever heard on our show, and I've taken it on every job I've ever worked on. Is that the best idea always wins. Yeah, And it doesn't matter if it comes from the director, from an actor, from a Dolly Grip, someone on the electric team, the craft service person. The best idea always wins. And it to me, it's the most concise way to say, every single person in this room is of equal value, and no one in this room can carry their ego as though it means anything. You've got to show up and be a team player. And I say it to myself all the time. The best idea always wins. Yeah. I love that. I think as an actor, UM, some great advice that I got was I don't. I don't know if it's advice as much as um just acting a teaching. I don't. I don't acting lessons, acting lesson but I don't know. But um that and I think we've talked about this before. But acting is like listening. And I had never heard it phrased that way before, but once I heard phrase, uh, everything made so much sense to me. You've got to prepare, so you have to know your lines. So the preparation of just knowing your lines and knowing who your character is. That's all really important, UM, majorly important. But the eight or or whatever, just being there on set, you have to listen to what's being said, listen verbally and nonverbally, or to the verbal and nonverbal communication rather UM. Because if the writing is good, which hopefully it is, UM, your response, your natural response to whatever it is that you're hearing, should collate with what's on the page already, and so the words should naturally already come out of your mouth. And UM, it just made a really big difference for me hearing that, I I UM suddenly felt like it was I felt much more free to just be in the moment and be and be there as long as I knew I had done my prep and done my work. You know, you've always been a good listener. Joy, I feel like you mastered that. I was. I didn't know that lesson yet, and I was like, our wheels are always turning. How did she do that? It's fantastic. I feel like because we started um doing like, you know, carrying a franchise at such a young age. You know, there's so many people who are in your ear with advice or opinions, and they're like, hey, kid, we're gonna do this, and we're gonna do this, and you know, this is how you should be doing it. And um, my manager, who is like, you know, family to me. I've been with her since I was eighteen years old. I had come to her and I was like, well, so and so I said, and then he said this, and then he said we should do this, and she just like stopped me and she's like, do you want his career? And I was like no. She's like, then why do we care what he says? And I was like, oh, oh, you're right. And so I I think that finding people who have paved the way or who have conducted themselves with integrity, and whether they're doing your same exact job or something different, people who have the trajectory that you want. Um, those are the opinions you value. You have to be very careful about what opinions you let in because it affects your own self worth, it affects your choices. Um, yeah, do you want his career? No? I think that works in life too. You know, you choose friends and you just pay attention to the friendships that they have. It's the it's even in its most basic form, if somebody's talking about somebody else to you, they're probably talking about you to someone else, So, you know, and I think that just paying attention to who people are and what they say and and the kind of people that they surround themselves with, that is a is a further down there, down the line rab or down the rabbit hole of of what you're saying. You know, it's it's a really good strategy to live by, Hannah says Hannah Hannah seventeen. Hannah ha ha seventeen. The music on the show was so iconic and really made the show what it was. Who selected the music and how did they find so many great unknown bands and musicians to feature. Lindsay Wolfington was a major. I mean she wasn't on the whole run of the show, though, was she. I don't think she was on from the beginning, but she came on pretty early and she was incredible. I mean she brought guys like she brought us Kid Cutty when nobody knew who Kid cut Outs right, so tapped in. So whether it was you know, big bands like I mean all of them, I got like Fallout Boy and Angels, and airwaves that like really served that sort of emo crowd or like Kid Cutty or we got you know, sitting God, we had such amazing Cheryl Crowhelo. She was such amazing artists on our show. And and it was very cool to see, you know, the way that we could help break bands. And um, it was still in an era where having a sink on a show was so valuable to musicians and it was pretty special to be a part of that. And and that's really how you know, for those of you also curious about this, it's literally an entire department that works on a show. It's a music supervisor, assistance, it's it's an entire division at a at a studio that makes film and television. So it is a big undertaking and they did a beautiful job on our show. Um, what is one item you wish you would have taken from the O T H set? That couch and Karen's cafe? The red one, Yeah, the one under the window. There was a couch. It was like a red kind of like looped material. Was it in Trick or was it a Karen's Cafe? I don't I think that might have been in Trick. There was a red couch that should have been mine. It was like super mod mid century. Yeah, the centry mod couch and all the fringe lamps I took off. I took a whole bunch of stuff. Again, I still stuff for everybody else. Hillary, I still furniture for you, like I took drawings for you. I was like, this is ridiculous. And the craziest part was, which I'm not sure if I've ever told any of the fans this, but they sent me a bill at the end of Oh yeah, they sent me a bill at the end for thousands of dollars. Gag when I tell you how much it was. And I just responded, I said, are you serious? Like what what, what are you going to do with this stuff? What do you mean? And they said, well, every single thing is you know, invoiced in da da da da. And I said, Okay, I'm going to send you a check for ten of this amount and we'll call it even you sent them anything. Yeah, guys, I have a guilt complex. I couldn't would old our wardrobe polaroids on eBay. I know they did, dude, they sold wardrobe we wore on the show. And I don't know if you guys remember, but when they did the joy I don't know if we talked about this or not, but when when when they did the big We've wrapped at the end of season nine warehouse sale, I went in there one day with Lisa Goldstein to see what they were selling. They were selling every piece of underwear any of us ever watched it. I walked over and grabbed a bin and took all of it. Thank you, So you have all of it? I don't even my godly, I was like, this is the grossest thing, like bras and what are you talking about? This is so inappropriate. Well, this took a dark turn. I took all of it. I was like, this is not a thing we're gonna do. Have none of you ever watched a true crime show. No, So I took it so they could thank you. And there's that there's that trade coming back in Brooks there. It is Brooke and Sophia's protective instincts. I was like, you're not going to sell under where we were on that we were on the show to a serial killer. It's not happening. So I took it. Any banks we would use for all our skinny demazines, Oh my god, those bras with the clear straps. No girl were hot for a second. People loved those clear straps. Alright, we've got we've got one minute left for one last question. Was there any last question? What is one thing that you just do for you and your mental health? That's a nice question. Yeah, let's just positive thing to send us off. Let's let's end on a positive thing. So it's not about our bosses trying to sell our gross What's one thing that we all do for our mental health just for us? I like that? Mm hmm. Well, I read books. Um, I know that I'm not doing well mentally when I can't read. That is my I let the lightbulbs in my house burnout and I don't read, and so I've been forcing myself to just like take them in. Yeah, it's important. Prayer for me is a big deal. Just being able to get somewhere quiet and take even if it's like literally a minute, can make a difference for me. Um. And I don't do it nearly as often as I want to or think I should, but I always feel better after I pray. I don't know why I don't do it more often. I'm just gonna text you. I don't want to do Take a minute right now? God? Yeah, Well, I think it can be really hard to do the things that we know are good for us, Like I when I'm not communing with what I feel connected to, or reading or any of the things that also are most kind of healthy for me. I noticed that my olders start to do this, they creep up by my ears, and so I've really it's gonna sound so silly, but in the last couple of months, you know, being on set, I have been trying to force myself for one minute to stretch and think about what's important to me while I do it. So I guess it's kind of a combination of like relaxing my body and a version of prayer. It's like, what if I'm going to move my body, if I'm going to open my body to something, what is the thing that feels most important to open myself to. Can that change my day? Can that take me out of the stress response that keeps me from reading books but keeps me watching the news at two in the morning, Like, I know that's not good for me. When I can't turn the news off, I'm like, Okay, we're in a We're in a stress response, and I'm I'm trying to make that kind of connection be like here in my physical body first, and then take it to my mind and then take it to what I want my mind to feel connected to.
