Hey everybody, we're doing a Q&A episode just for you. Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you girls ready? Hit me with some questions. Oh boy, from Julia. Julia wants to know, when faced with a tough day on set, what did you do to unwind? Uh, karaoke. Okay.

hide in one of your trailers at lunch? I went down. I would leave set and just walk straight to a bar. Like, I wouldn't even go home because I knew I'd get there eventually. We were just either at Level 5 or Yosaki. Or where else did we go? Deluxe. Oh, yeah. Like, if we wanted to eat...

And drink. Yeah. But I'd sit, I'd have dinner there and then I'd sit at that bar like with Paul and Hank for so many hours. Yeah. I'd just sit there until they closed a lot. Oh, the French place. We used to go to that upstairs French place, Caprice? Yeah. Caprice. Caprice had that upstairs room. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know that there was anything. It's just like, I think anybody else has a hard day at work and they just go, they want to go have a drink with a friend. Yeah.

Take a load off or go home, just bury yourself in your apartment and watch a movie or something. Well, Joy, you would go home in like so beautiful clothes. Like you would, you know, like make a thing. Yeah, I usually had a craft or something that I would get into. Also having an animal helps. It kind of depends for me. Did I need to shake it off by like being alone and, you know, taking Patch for a walk? Or did I need to shake it off by like...

Going with you guys to karaoke and slamming two tequila shots and like screaming to Pat Benatar. Like, I don't know. It kind of depends on what kind of a day you've had. I don't think there's necessarily a standard, but I will say I think it's important to...

Acknowledge what you need, whether it's a moment of introversion or a moment of extreme extroversion. You know, listen to yourself. That makes so much sense. Give yourself what you need. Take care of yourself. Because don't you feel that that juxtaposition makes so much sense? So because now that I'm thinking about it, I went out so much downtown because I was so mopey on the show that I felt like I had to be turbo fun outside of work.

But in subsequent jobs where I have to be a ton of fun and kind of loud, that's when I want to just go home and be like, I'm just going to be a grandma on crochet. Totally. Like sit here. Balance. Balance. All right. Are we still doing those things? Still do all that. Have we evolved? No. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I don't know. You guys, this weekend, I went, we were out visiting friends and we went to this like really fun party on Saturday night and there was this great DJ and everyone was like, oh my God, we're outside and we're dancing and it's great. We went to a college bar afterwards. I didn't know it was a college bar until I got there. Did you do a kickstand?

No, but we were there. There was a cover band playing incredible music. It was like me and 10 friends who are all our age, like, like, you know, my friend who's a magazine editor, like grown ass people. And we were in the corner of a college bar, just like dying, having the time of our lives. Yes. I got asked out by a kid who could not have been more than 22. And I just was like, oh, you sweet, you sweet,

You sweet, sweet boy. Ask me again. No, no. Ask me again. I just want to hear it. But thanks. It was adorable. You have to go now. I love this. So like, I don't know. Are we still doing that? Yes. Have I done that in years? No. Was it fun? Absolutely. Can we promise to be like 75-year-old women still doing that? Please. At the bar? Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. College bar. We're going to be friends forever.

Put that on her shirt. We're going to be fun forever. All right. We're going to be fun forever. Joy, you got a question. I did. What? What's the question? She wants to know when filming the costume segment with Chad. Okay. I think she said about the Halloween episode. Oh, yeah. What was it like? Was it as much fun as it looked? And how do montage segments work?

You want to walk them through a montage? Yeah, usually they just set up the camera on one side and Chad would go in the dressing room, come out with all his outfits, do fun stuff, and then he would go back in and then he would...

We would, he would do it again. He would just do it like six or seven times until all the costumes were done. And then they would turn the camera around and put it where Chad was standing and just shoot all of my reactions to all of those outfits and any of the outfits that they wanted us to be interacting in. They would shoot us. I don't remember which angle it was from. They probably just picked one of the angles and then they would just shoot our interactions from a little bit further back. They'd like pull the camera back.

Like a master, right? Yeah. It's a master. And then they just had all the singles. It does take quite a while. I have to say it's, it's always, it goes so fast, but it takes a while to set those up. But it was fun. Yeah. We had fun that day. I remember enjoying that.

I was just glad I didn't have to change a million times. I was like, yes, let him do it. Yeah. I'll stand here. It's always funny when you watch a montage and you go, God, that looks good. We did that for eight hours. Yeah. Yeah. But we made it look great. Exactly. You make it look so spontaneous. I know. Totally. That is an iconic scene. Let's see. Tracy asks, do you see a parallel in the relationships between Lucas and Peyton and Brenda and Dylan? Beverly Hills 90210. Never thought about that. Yeah.

I never really watched 90210, so I don't know. I wasn't allowed. Yeah, I wasn't either. Were you guys allowed? No way. Well, I was. And then my parents watched an episode once while I was at camp. And I don't know, somebody had sex with somebody behind somebody's back. And then I wasn't allowed to watch it anymore. So I don't, I have no idea because I was banned from 90210. I think pretty early on. Yeah, we were babies. Yeah. I don't know.

So I don't really know. Brenda and Dylan. I was also banned from watching Dawson's Creek too. Like I remember when Dawson's Creek premiered, I had all my girlfriends over and it was like, we were pumped. We were like, we are going to watch this show together every week. It's going to be so fun. And these like senior boys came over to like,

see us and visit. And we were like, oh my God, this is so cool. This is high school. High school is going to be the best time ever. And then Pacey started sleeping with his teacher. And my mother was like, no, we are not. We are not watching this show. This is smut. And so I grew up to make smut.

You're like, well, you didn't let me watch it. So I'm going to go and make it. You know what parents you pull the reins in too tight. And then they just go crazy when you let them go. You gotta, you gotta just be real careful. Buck wild on tree hill, man. It's true. Angelica wants to know if we ever noticed that the writers use, and I love you for that all the time in scenes. I never noticed that.

If you haven't noticed it. If you haven't, now you will. Yeah, now it's in my brain. And I love you for that. But blah, blah, blah. And I love you for that. Yeah, no, I never clocked that one. There's a couple that I know that they felt real cute about. Like, Well, Well is one. What is the other one? Yeah, Well, Well and Hi, Friend. Or Hey, Pretty Girl. That was another one that was like, I used a lot. All right, well, this one's going to be like a, you know, brain worm. We're stuck with it now. Yeah.

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.

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, ordered one off Wayfair. We're very excited. It got delivered. You know, 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

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.

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.

talk about how incredible our skin is. It protects us from the outside world while also being a litmus test for how our body's doing physically and emotionally. Our skin sends us important messages about our lifestyle, nutrition, and about how we feel. It plays such an important role in how we see ourselves and how the world sees us. So,

So let's shine a spotlight on our skin. Let's go deep into skin health, what it means, what it looks like, and how to have it. Join host Nicole Berry as she unravels the mysteries around our skin on the new series Skin Queries, a podcast brought to you by Ruby Studio from iHeartMedia.

With the help from people with real life stories and experts of all sorts, she gets to the heart of what makes us glow from the inside out. Listen to Skin Queries on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Nia wants to know, I know that Joy and Sophia have directed multiple episodes of the show. In your podcast with Lindsay McKeon, you discuss how there is eight days of prep, eight days of shooting, and eight days of post-production. How did you as actors manage your schedules as actors but also directors? And how did pre-production and post-production work while also shooting the episodes with different directors? That's a great question.

Well, the pre-pro and post-pro work while shooting episodes with different directors was easier. I mean, for me, it was easier. So if you can speak for yourself, but because I wasn't on set, I was on set working on my own stuff. And then I would leave set and go do post or that just felt like a separate job. So it was anytime I wasn't on set, I was just in an office working.

doing something that had absolutely nothing to do with the acting I was doing that day. So that made it a lot easier. I did not like being on set as an actor and then directing myself at the same time and having to direct the people I was in a scene with. Cause as an actor, I prefer to be a hundred percent in the moment in the scene rather than judging someone else's performance, um, which you have to do as a director. So it's kind of, I didn't love that aspect of it.

Hmm. Yeah, I understand that. So I think one of the just sort of technical things that would probably be helpful to fill you guys in on at home is, you know, for example, when we would be directing and we would be in our pre-production time, a director who is not acting on the show gets all eight days to prep. We did not.

they would definitely try, you know, let's say I was directing episode eight of the season. They would try to block my days in episode seven. So they'd try to cluster your scenes together as much as possible so that you might act all day on Tuesday, but then you could go prep all day on Wednesday while, you know, Brooke would be off while Nathan and Haley would be having a day at their house or something.

Um, but you definitely did get less time. I think what helps really make up for that is we started directing years into being on the show. We knew every location, like the back of our hands. We knew we had shorthand with the crew. We knew what, you know, the lighting looked like it trick for concerts. Yes. There were things we were, you know, designing and creating, but we already had, uh, a

the deep, intimate experience with most of our sets. If you had to go find a set, you know, specific for your episode, you would location scout on a day where you were not acting in the episode that was filming before yours. And then post...

To Joy's point, you know, you'd run in if you had a scene off, you'd run into the office and jump back in the edit. But with directors, you do not get final cut. You know, the producers and creator of the show get the director's cut, then they make whatever edits they make.

Because they do an edit on every single episode, which really creates a cohesion with the story. And sometimes they don't have a lot of notes for you. And sometimes, you know, they disagree. You two don't fight. Never. You really think something's amazing. Don't be corny. Who? Us? No. Opinions? We don't know what those are. Oh.

But I, yeah, I definitely enjoyed juggling all those things. For me, you know, being so many years into our show, directing in ways, you know, when, let's be honest, you do the same thing every day for years. You get a little bored. It's not a bad thing. It's just human. Yeah.

And as a director, I fell in love with our show all over again, over and over again every year. And I really cherish that experience. Nicole says, is there a reason why Bevan and Antoine have the same names as the actors that play them? I mean, is it laziness? What's the answer?

I feel like they were just like, let's not worry about tracking too many people. Like, I don't want to have to deal with like a new remembering new characters name. Biggest cast in the history of television. There's 8 billion people on this show. Just call them by their real name. It's fine. Yeah. Well, you know what happened? I remember when Bevan came on the show, she was saying that there was an episode where, you know, long before she'd ever actually been cast.

to speak as an actor, where she was just a featured extra, you know, being one of our cheerleaders, they had...

when we were doing cheer practice, yes, to make it easier. They had us, you know, me and Hillary calling all of the girls who were our cheerleaders by their real names. Right. Which is such a weird thing because, you know, the writers are like, oh, well, you know, these are featured extras. Like, we don't know if these girls are going to stick around. Like, call them by their real names. You know, you know, some guy, I don't say who.

said in the room like well it's not like they're ever gonna talk and then like bevan became a star of our show and they were like well well she has her own name already so uh that ship has sailed i don't know how it happened with antoine though how confusing for the fan base though like to like see her out in the wild and be like bevan i know talk about blurred lines

So weird. But our show, that was kind of the magic of our show is that no one ever knew what was real and what wasn't. Turns out a couple things are real. That's true.

Hillary, what is your best personal life hack tip? Farming advice, beekeeping, cooking, makeup? Because you're the farmer. Yeah, let me... You know what I should do is I should just start doling out makeup and fashion advice because we know I'm so gifted at that. That question is from Alicia, by the way. Alicia, this is a vague question. I don't have a problem with vague, but my life hack tip... Okay.

find the fun in failure like we we can laugh about it after the fact like we can go back and watch episodes of the show and be like oh that was a look yeah um or that was a choice but it's hard to find the funny in your failures like in the moment in the present that's true

This is a great question and I wish I had a great answer because I feel like there are things that I do on a daily basis that are unusual and help me.

But I don't know what they are unless I have somebody who's hanging out with me for the day. And they're like, what are you doing? And then I'm like, I'm doing this. And then they go, oh, my God, that's genius. And then I'm like, I know, but I don't like write things down. No, Sophia and I felt that way when we hung out by the bar in your kitchen and you just started like making elixirs and shit. And we were like, what? We were like, what's going on? Yeah, mine. I wish mine were cooler and involved cocktails, but.

Something that I have found really helpful in minimizing chaos is just setting a couple of rules. Like anytime I walk in my house, I put my keys in the little key drawer in the little console table next to the front door. And if I don't,

Then the next day I can't leave my house for an hour because I'm running around looking for my keys. Yeah, for sure. So it's like that's I know I'm sure that sounds silly, but there's like some things that if you can just take care of it right away.

It'll reduce the time that it takes you to fix it later. Oh, yeah. And that has been a good adult life hack to learn. Those key gremlins are the worst. The key, they take them all. Oh, I have one. You know, it's a skin hack. I have been, first thing when I wake up in the morning, I put water on my face and I don't dry my face. I just splash water on it and let my skin absorb the water.

And then I put on a really thin layer of vitamin E oil. And often that's all I'll do. Especially if I'm traveling and stuff.

So I don't know. I have sort of a Mediterranean mixed skin type, so I don't think that would work for everyone. I can't imagine. Not everyone's skin is the same. But if you have sort of olive-y, that Mediterranean, like normal, I guess, medium skin type, you might try that. My skin has never looked like dewier and glowier and had less problems than when I'm just using water and vitamin E oil. You were gloving.

Done. Done. Love you guys too. Thanks for your questions, everyone. I can't wait for more next time. Thanks for listening. Don't forget to leave us a review. You can also follow us on Instagram at DramaQueensOTH. Or email us at DramaQueens at iHeartRadio.com. See you next time.
