Drama, 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 queens 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 Rhinebeck. 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. Um,

And that was really an eye-opener and an education for me about supporting mom and pop businesses. Yeah. And anytime Sanderson, one of our drivers, would pick me up... Sanderson! Sanderson always brought me a chai latte. Aww.

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 of oat milk or something. That's just my standard has been for years. What about you, Soph? Oh my gosh. I mean, yes, I rode 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 till like two or three in the morning the next morning. And so when we were on splits, Sanderson and I were in cahoots and

And it would be like, okay, come, come get me 20 minutes early. We'll go to port city Java. We'll go to Jersey Mike's. What else do we want? We would make stops around town to get all the snacks and supplies for the day. God, I just, I loved that. Wait, I need a Jersey Mike's 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 cream tea. I'd never heard of such a thing until you introduced me. Oh, that's true. 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 cream 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 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 this one. What are you going to say? Because you're in it. No, I want to ask it. Oh, that's embarrassing. Oh, my God. I love it. So Liz asks, why did only Whitey and like sometimes Peyton have a Southern accent? Like ever something discussed or encouraged? Do you want to know the real answer? Yeah. 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.

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...

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 try to sound very mid-Atlantic. And it's like this bad kind of 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,

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 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 doing? Like, we learned it there. I

from there. You grew up in Virginia. Like I 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 playing junkie had like a fake New York accent on our show. Bevan had a Southern accent.

Well, yeah. So did Daniela. And Daniela. Anytime Daniela talked. Catherine Bayless did too. For sure. 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. Yeah.

That's what I want. And like sometimes Peyton. Listen, sometimes Barry Corbin and I would have scenes and we will have been at like Charlie Brown's 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 Corbin 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. Yeah.

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 as 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. Mm-hmm.

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 set. And now when we go on to sets, I had the, one of the last sets I was on, they were 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 wait to be an aunt. 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 Corbin. I'm a good rider. I'm ready. Dang, me too. Friends, we all...

I think in whatever way, whether we like a little tinted sunscreen or we like a full face beat, like we're all wearing makeup. You guys have probably seen the Thrive Cosmetics Viral Tubing Mascara. I hope you have. You know, that's the one in that turquoise tube that's all over your socials. And my daughter has like six in her bedroom. It's so easy to see why their bestsellers have thousands of five star reviews. I'm not one of those people who can figure out like a lipstick and a liner. I just I just want one thing to stick in my bag.

This is a two-in-one lipstick liner. You can line, define, and fill in one step. It has a built-in sharpener included. It is waterproof, sweatproof, and lasts up to 12 hours while it delivers this, like, really rich, opaque pigmentation. I'm obsessed. It's gorgeous. It glides on tug-free, gives me even color across the lips.

While also giving a bold, non-sticky and velvety finish. Just allow it to set and you're going to get up to 12 hours of hydration and wear. Refresh your everyday look with Thrive Cosmetics, beauty that gives back. Right now, you can get an exclusive 10% off your first order at thrivecosmetics.com slash drama. That's Thrive Cosmetics, C-A-U-S-E-M-E-T-I-C-S.com.

This actually comes at a perfect moment because, you know, I've had the travel day from hell and I managed to be here. Even when travel is easy, coming home after a vacation or a work trip or even like just a really long day on set is a great way to get back to work.

feels like a breath of fresh air to me. Like to walk in the door, kick off my shoes, immediately flop onto the couch, put my feet up on the coffee table. It feels like I'm in a cozy little cave and it's all mine. Oh, it's the best. The couch for me is my happy place. And just recently, actually, we were in the market for a new couch that

ordered one off Wayfair. We're very excited. It got delivered. It's white glove. They bring it in. They set it up for you. We sat down on it and oh, it was not the couch we had hoped for. It could not have been easier to return the couch. We let them know. People showed up. They took it out. And then we found a different couch we liked and we love it. So they make it as easy as possible. I think it really all boils down to the fact that there's just no better feeling than loving your home.

And Wayfair makes it easy to create a space where you can relax and unwind no matter the season. I'm relaxing and unwinding indoors because it's a bajillion degrees outside this summer, but that's just me. It's really just the place to shop for everything from living room seating, even if it takes you a couple of tries, or a perfect bedroom that just helps you cozy up, snuggle in and have sweet dreams. Yeah. And look, Wayfair is the go-to destination for everything home, no matter your style or your budget.

There's a waiver hood in every zip code brought to life by everyone who makes their home truly their own with Wayfair. A huge selection of home goods ranging from appliances and area rugs to beds and wall art. It's everything you need from your home, from living room and outdoor areas to bedrooms, bathrooms, and more.

Yeah, Wayfair makes it easy with fast and free shipping, even on the big stuff. It's incredible. They'll set it up. They break it down. They bring it to you. The only thing they don't do is feed you a snack while you're sitting on it. It's good to come home when you live in the Waverhood. Visit Wayfair.com or download the Wayfair app. That is W-A-Y-F-A-I-R.com. Wayfair. Every style, every home.

I think it's no secret to listeners of our podcast that we all love Squarespace over here because our lives are pretty chronically online. And I'm going to tell you, I needed a website and had absolutely no idea how to do it. And Squarespace made it really, really easy for me. And I sort of feel like if, you know, my all over the place creative brain can manage to actually make a real website all by my lonesome, anybody can do it, wouldn't you say?

Listen, I wouldn't sell yourself short, but it is helpful to know that if you could do it starting from scratch, then maybe there's hope for me when I finally decide to build my own website. I can't wait.

Okay, Britt asks...

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. 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 guys do a time jump after I left? 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 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. Super confident. Super like she's amazing. She's she's she heard a friend talking about her in the back. Okay. This is how cool my kid is. She heard 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, what did they do? She said, they just, you know, she came out and she was like, hi. I just kind of got flustered. And, and then Maria was just like, all right, bye. It's like, she didn't even confront them. She was just like, just so you know, I heard that. Bye bye. And then she came home and she said, you know,

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 right. Babe, I love you. You're doing great. You're doing great. That's so cool. Yeah. I would have thought before that like your kid would be into the things that you're into. Yeah. You know, so my answer five years ago would have been like, oh, Sawyer's into music. Yeah.

wrong, not the right answer at all. Now that my son is in middle school, 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, but,

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, I don't know.

Nothing. You're so right though. They do. Maria's even like, I cuss. 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 grownup words instead of bad words. She's, can you try and not say grownup words please in front of my friends? Joy, I got in trouble for playing Jay-Z 99 problems in the car with Gus and his friends. He was like, mom, you're embarrassing me. And I was like,

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 gonna like be the next Michael Kors and I'm like oh god are her kids like football players yes I mean one of their twins one of them is probably a jock 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 where's Oakley's

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 she's definitely wearing Oakley's like those weird ones that come to a point. Oh, my God. Like the cycling glasses. Yes. Oh, my gosh. We have this is a great one from Jessica.

One Tree Hill was seriously lacking in the pet department. Talk and Peyton definitely needed a therapy dog or cat to help them through their loneliness and trauma. Thanks for rubbing it in, Jess. Why were there no pets on set? And did you have pets in real life during that time? Oh, Sophia and I bought dogs together. Remember we drove like an hour out? We went and 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 dogs. We had JoJo's dog, Sam, in the hair and makeup trailer. Yeah, of course. And I had Hoss. I mean, Hoss 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 remember the pilot episode when Joy got attacked by birds? You know? Yeah.

But they're hard. They can't work hours like the rest of us can work. You know, they'll make you stay on set as an actor when you have to pee. They can't do that with an animal. 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 only reason is for editing. They're very hard to have on set. Yes. The 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. Yep. You know those commercials? Yeah. Oh, that dog was a celebrity. Oh my gosh. That was a fancy dog. Damn. 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 were cleaning up shit anyway. That's it. I had a boyfriend and a little brother. Okay.

All right. Okay. Last question. This is a good question. Christy asks, how do the rain scenes work when you get wet from head to toe to immediately redo hair and 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 you get the perfect take? You do end with that scene every day. Yes. That's smart. But only, but only the one time. Yeah. 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 and, and that's kind of just that. Yeah. Um,

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 CPR and the whole mess. Yeah. What? What? Oh, dude. 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 till sunrise. So you would just be wet and cold. It 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 couple of days. No, but that's what I was going to say. Did I just say hot dog pool? Do you know why? Yeah.

Because we're drunk. No, I'm door dashing Jersey Mike's 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 in tents. 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.

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. Yeah. 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 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 and yeah

And then they put you next to a huge propane heater that's like kicking out flames. And so you just try to 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 shooting?

we sure like can i see the stand-in do it messed up man god yeah we did some crazy things we made it guys we did it we're still here i love these q and a's they're the best keep them coming guys thank you so much
