Queens Drama Queens.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hi, everyone, welcome back to a very special episode of
Drama Queens. As you may have heard, we all got
to spend a couple of days in Wilmington together. Recently,
you all submitted such great questions to us online through
the Drama Queen's account, and we're here with everyone, so
we also want to ask the fans what their questions are.
(00:46):
From the audience, Let's keep it going.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Hi, I'm Caylin.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I'm from Richmond, Virginia, and there's actually a little bit
of goodies from Richmond, Virginia over there for you. You
mentioned the best cookies you're in Wilmington. Here are the
best cookies for Richmond, Virginia. I'm so sorry they're not packaged.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Better, just be looking while you ask your question. Please
do oh my God, and there's wine in here.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It's actually moonshine.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Talk Bertie to me.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I got she said, I'll see your veno and raise you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Look at that all three for us? Thank you?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Yes, But I wanted to give you guys a gift
because your art matters. It's what got me here, It's
what got us here. And I just want to know
who would you give the words? Your art matters, it's
what got me here too, And who would you like
to hear them from.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh, I know, I know, go that's a good question.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
My instinct just has dropped this mic. But I'm not
going to do that to you.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
My brain immediately was like, obviously Melissa Ethridge and Bruh,
those women raised me.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But from I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yell anything.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Honestly, I watched the movie Beaches probably seven thousand times
a week when I was little. I knew the whole.
I knew every dance routine. I couldn't decide if I
wanted to be Well I was the bet, but I
wanted to be Hillary Whitney.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Do you know you're seventy two?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Most of these people I haven't seen Beaches.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
But when we had a line about beaches in this
and I was like, this is full circle moment for me.
And I got to meet Bette Midler, which was so wild,
and I was with my mom and it was just amazing.
I'll never forget it. It's the most la I've ever
felt my life. I was having a lunch with my
(02:55):
manager and he was like, oh, BET's there, do you
want to meet her? And I was like, I don't
even think I talked. I just walked over to the
table and I was like, I might have hugged her.
I don't know, kissed her. I don't know what it did.
I blacked out, you know how that happens. But definitely
(03:18):
I think Bet. And then who i'd want to hear
it from.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, that's hard to know. Your aren't matters.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
It was me.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
I'm going to put him on the spot. But like
my husband, he probably has said that to me before,
but you know how sometimes we just aren't ready to
hear things.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Well, he might not have said it to you in
the exact quote from Montreal, right, that would be weird.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But if you think, if you think we're not going
to side text him.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Later, I'll let him know.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
Just send her a text that says your art matters,
trust me, don't ask, don't ask questions. I'm going to
take a spin on this, and this feels a little unfair,
but I'm gonna do it because I feel like art
comes in so many different types of forms, and I
think watching someone master and create and build a life
(04:27):
so beautiful for themselves.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Has been my sister.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
And Yeah, when she looks like, oh you met her,
you saw her, You've known her forever, but you saw her,
I literally just was like, oh my god, I forgot.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
To text you the picture.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Someone her I know, and I got to introduce them,
and literally her sister was like, you know, my sister
loves you, and Ash was like, I know.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
I love her.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
It's really my dad who says for your girl, I know,
but my sister has. She's just someone who does everything
with really incredible intention.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
And when she.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Views anything that I do as on par or even
close to what she's doing, I feel humbled and incredibly grateful.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Thank you go Mickey.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
She's the shit. Hi, I'm Addie. I'm from off Alabama.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I'm trying not to sound like a high Hellama. I
actually didn't go to Alabama though, so We're not that
crazy roll tide though. But my question is, did y'all,
like when y'are filming, feel like it was something that
was going to be so generational obviously, because it is
(05:50):
situations that are so relatable.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Maybe not the high school marriage.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
But feeling like you're alone and you know, like the
boy drama, and I don't know, it's just something that
I feel like so many can relate to and have
have not felt alone because of y'all show.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So did it feel like that at a time?
Speaker 8 (06:07):
I felt like we were filming a show that was
just for us. I like, because we weren't in La
We were here and everyone in this community was really supportive,
but no one was. It wasn't like there were tons
of fans standing outside watching us all the time. It
just didn't feel it felt like we were doing something
(06:29):
that was a school. Yeah, we're like just for us.
It just didn't we're excited by it, Yeah, yeah, I
think And we've met a lot of people, you know,
I think like the OC and like Gossip Girl, all
these other things that were going on at the same time,
and their experience was not this. So I'm always grateful
(06:51):
to this place that they let us have this very private,
wonderful experience.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, and I think.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I think there really is something to how lucky we
were to be here, but how being here made it
impossible to know what was happening everywhere else. And then
even to D's point, like we were just kind of
bopping around town, and then when there were lots of people,
you know, by the time we got to points where
Front Street was like covered in people, then you had
(07:23):
peers in the industry being like, you guys don't film
on a secure lot.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh, they like don't care.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
If you guys get shot, Like that's being crazy, and
we were.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Like, oh, we were like, we were like wait, what,
Like what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
We think our fans are really nice, you know, spoiler
alert you are, but like it was this weird thing
where no matter what was happening, the feedback we were
getting was that it was like, because of whatever was happening,
it wasn't a big deal. And so the really interesting
thing I think about it has been realizing, you know,
(08:05):
in the later years certainly and really since it wrapped,
realizing how global it is, Realizing how you know, there's
folks that we've met in rooms like this that are
our age who started watching the show alongside us, and
now they're coming here with their teenagers that have the
(08:27):
names of our characters, and their teenagers are all watching
it with their friends, and we're like, can you believe
for nine years we thought we were going to get
canceled every every year, and like we're not even a
new show and all.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
These why none of us drove nice cars. See, there's
a thing in LA And if we had been in La,
this would have happened to us. If you book a
pilot in LA, you buy a range Rover or Mercedes
immediately because you're like, I'm famous, I'm going to be
so rich, and then your show gets canceled and you
have to turn your car back in because you can't
hear the weeks. But over here we were just kind
(09:01):
of like, Okay, well this is probably going to end
at any moment. Yeah we better like you know, just yeah,
be cool, don't freak out, and like I don't know,
Like in.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Season eight, three of us were sharing an apartment, yeah
in downtown over a bar that like the walls would
vibrate at night and I'd be like, fuck, I just
want to go to sleep, but it was really cheap
and it felt smart because we really thought we were
like a hair away from always losing our job.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And now people are like crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Cultural phenomenon and we're like, yeah, maybe we should have
asked for a reason.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
I don't know. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
My name is Ris.
Speaker 10 (09:46):
I'm originally from Akron, Ohio, but I just moved here
a month ago for One Tree Hill. Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Question was for each of you, which Brooke Arrow is
your favorite? And why?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh my god, wad do we equit Brook Davis with
Taylor Swift?
Speaker 9 (10:01):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (10:02):
You guys, I don't know you go well, you mean
because high school Brook?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (10:12):
Our Brook? That saved my life? Sorry, Brook, that saved
my life that era. That was big of you.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
I like, like, you know your boyfriend was slapping me
in the shower.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I was so scary.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
What happened on this show when I left? What happened?
You were getting slapped?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (10:41):
I believe that was the only way to revive me
from some sort of heroin overdose.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Your own heroin?
Speaker 8 (10:49):
I think so? Was it heroin? It must have been said.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
It was extreme.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I like bikes.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
I'm not sure. I missed a lot here. I appreciate
life saving Brook era of life saving Brooke, like.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
I like Brooke, that is like boss Brook. You've always
been Boss Brook though, like, well, Brooke has always been
Boss Brook, you know what I'm getting at. But also
Sophia has always been so you like.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
Close over bros era which era?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
No, I'm getting to it, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Don't rush her, rush don't. Oh, she's so.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Good at I don't know where I got this from.
I've never even listened to this stuff before. I really love.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
I love the fact that you took charge always in
every situation and made sure people were taken care of.
And I think that is a through line for brook Brook.
It's like ultimately who Brooke was, So I don't think
there's a specific era for her. For me, it was
always like basically obviously we understand that things get crossed
here and that is very Sophia thing. And I'm very
(12:01):
partial to that because I've always been very taking care
of by Sophia and yeah, you sweet soul.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
It's funny because when I think about like the things
I really enjoyed, I think, you know, we Easton were
in season eight of the podcast. I really like looking
back on the the physical comedy kind of fight between
Brook and Sylvia, I really enjoy, you know, the Big
(12:33):
Bridge episode with the car accident and Jamie, Like it's
my favorite kind of genre.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Of like action vibe.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
But also I'm just like hanging out with a kid,
which clearly I like to do high little baby, but
but yeah, looking back on it, I also like when
she's kind of nuts, like how fun when she she
just doesn't care, and I like that it reminds me
(13:01):
to just not worry so much.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
I think because her values were set, her values stayed
in place, so if she went crazy, it was okay
that she went crazy or crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You know, whenever I hear someone say she's crazy, Ago
would you do to her?
Speaker 8 (13:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Exactly, yeah, exactly, Yeah, Yeah, her values were set.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Thank you? So what she said for me?
Speaker 11 (13:27):
So, my name is Sidney. I'm actually here from New Hampshire.
This is my first solo trip.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That's where Jenny Woman in Chair is from.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Oh, Woman in Chair.
Speaker 11 (13:37):
So my question is I was wondering if you have
a favorite outfit from any of your episodes any season.
Definitely got a lot of my fashion and spoke from
the show.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So I was curious.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I remember mine clear as day.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Yeah, And it was the moment that we just decided
to let Bevin go off the rails. And it was
us in the wardrobe apartment, and I said, I made
that pink top and it was like a pink low
cut tight top and a purple teared skirt that barely
(14:10):
covered my bum, barely covered it. And I was like,
I understand her now for the first Like it was
like as soon as I got that wardrobe thing right,
I was like, I know exactly where we're going with this,
and I'll never forget it.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Wardrobe is very important. I like the cat suit when
we broke into the school, when.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
We broke into the school.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
Ye, yeah, I love the cat suits.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We were so cute and that so cute.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Hello, my name's Michelle. I'm from Florence, Kentucky.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
And I was just wondering, having talked about it and
looking back at the show, if you guys had a
friendship slash relationship that you rooted for the most or
was your favorite and why on the show.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Well, clearly I didn't watch it so.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Right, Yeah, she's not talking about behind the scenes.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, I like that so much.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
We're not allowed to talk about that. I liked ours,
I loved our relationship Brook and Rachel, and I would
have rooted for more than that. That's like kind of
my common theme. I just wanted Rachel to be more
in and more like genuinely in and stay there. I
(15:26):
think she wanted to be there, and all the kids
at school and even even after with they wanted to
keep letting her in, but she kept messing it up.
So anyway, that's me. You saved my life. I feel
like Rachel would have never I didn't hit you. No,
you didn't, so you know, And that was the kind
(15:49):
of hitting for a purpose, like it was a panic.
Owen was Vin literally just goes, who's Owen? Oh my god?
How late can you guys say? Because we just see
to watch like eight seasons? Everybody have time? Can we
never caught up?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Draw the family tree of the I agree with that.
I wish we had had more time as characters, for sure.
One of the things I actually thought was really impactful
and we'd like use it when it was necessary as
(16:27):
a device, and then it would kind of go away
and we'd always be a little bummed about it was
the friendship between Brooke and Nathan.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Because they write like they had this.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Almost like the Yin Yang experience, like they weren't exact
mirror images of each other, but so close with these
toxic parents and this weird upbringing and all the things,
and when they would lean on each other and talk
about that and talk about, you know, the ways they'd
(17:03):
kind of learned to just like show up and do
it all maybe in certain ways that like weren't.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
So good for them.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Weird.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
We talked about this this morning.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, yep, not about on screen things, but like, I
think that's really relatable, even though Brook Davis's life for
Nathan Scott's life might not have been so relatable. And
the core of that friendship I wish we'd see more
of because if you think about how immensely valuable the
Lucas and Haley friendship was, to have platonic friendship, you know,
(17:36):
between a boy and a girl in high school and
in young life is so valuable. And I actually think
Nathan and Brooke had a version of a Lucas and
Haley friendship. I do think that the writer, as much
like they would do to Rachel, would do Brook dirty,
and when they needed drama, they'd be like.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Let's find out about some horrible things she.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Did sex tape episode. I was like, come on, you know,
and you get the script and you're like, I can't
believe I have to do this, And like, I wish
they'd leaned a little more into the thing that they
actually knew worked, which wasn't the shock and awe drama
of a scandal for one to two episodes, but was
(18:19):
a core friendship that could be defining to the characters
and to the audience. And I feel like, I feel
like we got little like appetizers of that, but I
wanted a meal.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
Hi.
Speaker 12 (18:45):
I'm Susannah. I live in Atlanta, but I'm from Colombia.
I can't sit back down without letting you guys know
that your show has gotten me through a really last
year and I just want to thank you so much
for that. Like you have no idea of rewatching it
for like the million time through like rewatching the show
now that, especially with the podcast. Is there any time
(19:07):
or any lesson that you think that looking back on,
that you've maybe learned now that has helped you in
your daily adult life.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Please don't laugh.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Community organizing changes the world cited by.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I got crabs at Carl's.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Well done Brooke Davis pulling a Sally Field and organizing
the union.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Fairy Chic very timely.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Bev okay for you to talk about it.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Look, I mean in all honesty, are you talking about
on the like during on the show, within the show, yeah, or.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Just you know, looking back at that time of your life.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Yeah, I mean when something incredibly traumatic happens in your
life and people that you stay in contact with run
to you as fast as they can get there or
call as fast as they can, and you understand as
(20:24):
an adult that how what matters and what is real
and there is nothing more real than the time that
we have spent together. And these have been, you know,
lifelines for me, like complete lifelines. And it wasn't something
(20:46):
that I fully expected. I knew no matter what if
I called and I needed help, people would be there,
but I didn't expect everybody to run and they ran.
M m.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Yeah ditto.
Speaker 13 (21:13):
Same Yeah, yeah, Hi everyone, I'm Prianca. I live in Nashville, Tennessee.
It's my first time to Wilmington, so I'm really happy
to be here. Welcome with everyone, and just you know
what everyone else has been saying, I really feel the special,
you know, genuine love here, and you can really tell
the show you know went on. Here's just so nice
(21:34):
to feel. So my question was, what do you think
the three of you would be doing in the future.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Are we talking like, really, what's the next step in
the storyline, or are we talking like if we got
to shake the snow globe and just party? Because if
we got to shake the snow globe and party, I'm like,
I don't know what Brooke Day is doing. But if
she has a beach house with Bevan and Rachel, I'm.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
That would be so much fun, right compound like that
does that track to her life that we have?
Speaker 13 (22:10):
Yeah, future in her life?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Oh, but it would be fun.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
It'd be amazing about if Rachel has the beach house. Yeah,
that she bought in some like drug and whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
She gone, she sold the plane and bought us a
beach house.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
She bought a beach house. She's been renting it forever.
It's in shambles and so.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
But she need a friend who's a designer, perhaps.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
But she the house is in shambles and she's run
out of money. So she has to come back to
Tree Hill because it's the only place she she has left,
and she moves in pretending it's like a fabulous beach house,
but it's really and it's falling apart, and she has
to like start an Instagram account where she's like tiling
(23:04):
everything herself and it's a freaking mess.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
That's my literal dream come true for myself.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Anyway, I'm not a writer. I'm just spitballingall.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
That and that, and that is how Brooke and Rachel
rekindle their friendship because Brooke Davis says, you're doing a
terrible job tiling yourself, and I can't allow.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
This show so much life right about who? I don't know?
Who do you think to tell?
Speaker 9 (23:37):
And you know?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
And not a reboot, just kind of a continuation.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Like a like a chapter two or three, Volume two,
Volume two, Yes, we did a volume oon and.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
We need a volume Eric, do you have a question
or Okay? Great?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I was like, I would like just like want of
the boys to ask a question. So of course it's me,
of course it's you.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Of course it's me.
Speaker 14 (24:18):
So I've always been I'm a pisces, so I've always
been interested in humanity, interacting, feelings, all of those things.
And I think it's been touched on a lot around
here about how this is such a community and how
we see each other and we share our lives together.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
And so I'm going to take a page from Sophia
and ask you, what is your work in progress?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Well done, sir, well done.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I'm like, you kind of did me dirty. But I'm
so flattered. I really wasn't prepared for that. Okay, oh
oh boy. Sometimes I'm like, oh.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's so emotional.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
What's happening in my chest?
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Oh boy?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
The about you're so glad to be my boss.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
I where you came from?
Speaker 14 (25:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I all that, and where you're going
and where do you see that.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'll sell you for me.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
There's like a really interesting kind of It's like it's
kind of like a seesaw, but like that ride with
the boat that like goes all the way around which
you're convinced you'll die on at the amusement.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Park, like that whatever that's called.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Because there is the experience of being a human trying
to figure out how to human better wrapped in the
experience of being a human that is a public commodity
in some way, and you know that most of what's
(26:05):
out in that layer is like fractional or inaccurate or
weirdly offensive or whatever, and you're not supposed to take
it personally. But you also can't exist in your job
without confronting it.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And I think my work in progress is to learn
as a human to stop trying to perform to please
other people and lose myself in it, so that in
(26:52):
my life and then ironically outside in the world, I
can actually be more tender. I can fail in public,
I can ask questions and try really hard to encourage
other people to ask questions too. It's it's like a
(27:17):
constant work in progress for me to not get quiet
to protect my actual world or life or friends, and
instead like figure out how to transform some of like
(27:38):
the worst ways we as people can treat each other,
so that I can continue to show up for the
best ways we as people treat each other in like today,
in rooms like this. And I don't know that I
always get it right, but I do know that since
the fall of twenty twenty two, I haven't excellent therapist
(28:01):
who I love, and he's worth every non insured penny
I pay him, And here we are, And I think
if I think if like in the way you both
do as my friends, and in the way certain things
that I've experienced with you guys in this space, like
(28:22):
if we can just show up for each other and
see each other and cheer each other on a little bit,
Like what does that experience do when each of us
goes out into the world, into our communities. That excites me.
And so yeah, just I don't know, trying to figure
out how to human better.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
I'm just trying not to cry. So beautiful, You're beautiful.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Yeah, you're next.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Oh no, that was a Sophia question I could not answer.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Did you you.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Do not do it like that?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
What's your work in progress?
Speaker 8 (29:19):
My babies?
Speaker 9 (29:22):
You know?
Speaker 8 (29:23):
And I'm not like to be completely honest since Sofia
just spared her soul, like I'm I'm not in front
of the camera anymore, and that's really hard, but because
I miss that and there's an energy that happens, and
you know, that was such a big part of my life.
(29:45):
But I'm married to an actor and he's a better actor.
He really is, and he's fantastic, and I love you, Jensen,
but you're amazing. But I think, but I think that
he's doing really well right now, and I'm I want
(30:07):
nothing more than to be with my children. That is
like my true core, Like I love it so much
and just coming to terms with that. I know it
sounds weird, but it's like okay, because I always put
in my head like you're gonna do You're gonna be
what you used to be, and I don't know. This
(30:27):
is like the mother struggle for a lot of people.
You I know, the theme is you can do it all,
but you can't really do it all well. And I'm
trying to decide or I've decided in my mind that
like I just really want to be an excellent mother
and I want to support my fellow actors and the
(30:51):
best way I can, and right now that's learning to
be the best producer I can possibly be. And that
gives me a lot of freedom to be with my
family but still keep my foot in the business in
the best way, so you know, I think. But it's
just it's something like I always miss. But my work
(31:12):
is to just really embrace how grateful I should be
for absolutely every single day because my kids are the
greatest kids that have ever stepped foot on this planet,
you know, And I just I love being a mom.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
And.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I got to say, because I think it's really important
to give people their flowers any chance you get. Like,
even in this journey that we've been on together, I
have not been producing as long as you have. I
have produced with some pretty exceptional people, and I have
(31:50):
learned some of the most valuable lessons of my career
about being a producer, about how to use power in
the best way possible, and also how to do that
in the most human way possible. From you.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Oh, so.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
She's exceptional.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Not gonna cry, Bevin, Well come up, no, Bevin, what's
your work in progress.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
At the same time, I have to comment on the
fact that there's been two very specific errors in my life.
And one what's first, you who took me under your
wing and without any questions, you just graciously showed me
everything you knew, everything you knew. And then there was
(32:48):
you know, your life was happening and things were happening.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
And then Danielle walked in. And daniel has been.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
A big sister to me since the day I met
you and discussed earlier. Much older than the rest of them,
seventy six, Y're so close, much older. So glad you
know it's the only role I could take. Yeah, And.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
I think that at this point in my life, you know,
I really hope there's a day that comes back where
I consider what my personal life might be like a
little bit, but.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
It's just not now.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
And right now, what I think about every day is
how I can create a space for people to feel
safe and loved and allowed to be exactly as they are,
exactly as they are, And that is what I wake
up with every single day, and I think about when
(33:50):
I walk in to my studio and when I move
through life. I just want people to understand that there's
one of you, all of time, and so that means
that your experience is completely unique to anyone else's, and
that means that it is not your place to judge
(34:14):
what it is that you are and how you feel,
and like it's not your place to judge it, but
it's just your place to deeply understand it and then
do your best to share it because that will make
the world a better place because all of us, you know,
have something to share that maybe someone else. And I'm
(34:40):
just telling you you gotta, you gotta, you gotta step
into that power right now. If you're feeling something right now,
this is your cue to step up and in, Step
up and in and share as much as you can.
Speaker 4 (35:04):

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hi, everyone, welcome back to a very special episode of
Drama Queens. As you may have heard, we all got
to spend a couple of days in Wilmington together. Recently,
you all submitted such great questions to us online through
the Drama Queen's account, and we're here with everyone, so
we also want to ask the fans what their questions are.
(00:46):
From the audience, Let's keep it going.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Hi, I'm Caylin.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I'm from Richmond, Virginia, and there's actually a little bit
of goodies from Richmond, Virginia over there for you. You
mentioned the best cookies you're in Wilmington. Here are the
best cookies for Richmond, Virginia. I'm so sorry they're not packaged.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Better, just be looking while you ask your question. Please
do oh my God, and there's wine in here.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It's actually moonshine.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Talk Bertie to me.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I got she said, I'll see your veno and raise you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Look at that all three for us? Thank you?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Yes, But I wanted to give you guys a gift
because your art matters. It's what got me here, It's
what got us here. And I just want to know
who would you give the words? Your art matters, it's
what got me here too, And who would you like
to hear them from.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh, I know, I know, go that's a good question.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
My instinct just has dropped this mic. But I'm not
going to do that to you.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
My brain immediately was like, obviously Melissa Ethridge and Bruh,
those women raised me.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But from I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yell anything.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Honestly, I watched the movie Beaches probably seven thousand times
a week when I was little. I knew the whole.
I knew every dance routine. I couldn't decide if I
wanted to be Well I was the bet, but I
wanted to be Hillary Whitney.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Do you know you're seventy two?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Most of these people I haven't seen Beaches.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
But when we had a line about beaches in this
and I was like, this is full circle moment for me.
And I got to meet Bette Midler, which was so wild,
and I was with my mom and it was just amazing.
I'll never forget it. It's the most la I've ever
felt my life. I was having a lunch with my
(02:55):
manager and he was like, oh, BET's there, do you
want to meet her? And I was like, I don't
even think I talked. I just walked over to the
table and I was like, I might have hugged her.
I don't know, kissed her. I don't know what it did.
I blacked out, you know how that happens. But definitely
(03:18):
I think Bet. And then who i'd want to hear
it from.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, that's hard to know. Your aren't matters.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
It was me.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
I'm going to put him on the spot. But like
my husband, he probably has said that to me before,
but you know how sometimes we just aren't ready to
hear things.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Well, he might not have said it to you in
the exact quote from Montreal, right, that would be weird.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But if you think, if you think we're not going
to side text him.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Later, I'll let him know.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
Just send her a text that says your art matters,
trust me, don't ask, don't ask questions. I'm going to
take a spin on this, and this feels a little unfair,
but I'm gonna do it because I feel like art
comes in so many different types of forms, and I
think watching someone master and create and build a life
(04:27):
so beautiful for themselves.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Has been my sister.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
And Yeah, when she looks like, oh you met her,
you saw her, You've known her forever, but you saw her,
I literally just was like, oh my god, I forgot.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
To text you the picture.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Someone her I know, and I got to introduce them,
and literally her sister was like, you know, my sister
loves you, and Ash was like, I know.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
I love her.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
It's really my dad who says for your girl, I know,
but my sister has. She's just someone who does everything
with really incredible intention.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
And when she.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Views anything that I do as on par or even
close to what she's doing, I feel humbled and incredibly grateful.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Thank you go Mickey.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
She's the shit. Hi, I'm Addie. I'm from off Alabama.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I'm trying not to sound like a high Hellama. I
actually didn't go to Alabama though, so We're not that
crazy roll tide though. But my question is, did y'all,
like when y'are filming, feel like it was something that
was going to be so generational obviously, because it is
(05:50):
situations that are so relatable.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Maybe not the high school marriage.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
But feeling like you're alone and you know, like the
boy drama, and I don't know, it's just something that
I feel like so many can relate to and have
have not felt alone because of y'all show.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So did it feel like that at a time?
Speaker 8 (06:07):
I felt like we were filming a show that was
just for us. I like, because we weren't in La
We were here and everyone in this community was really supportive,
but no one was. It wasn't like there were tons
of fans standing outside watching us all the time. It
just didn't feel it felt like we were doing something
(06:29):
that was a school. Yeah, we're like just for us.
It just didn't we're excited by it, Yeah, yeah, I
think And we've met a lot of people, you know,
I think like the OC and like Gossip Girl, all
these other things that were going on at the same time,
and their experience was not this. So I'm always grateful
(06:51):
to this place that they let us have this very private,
wonderful experience.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, and I think.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I think there really is something to how lucky we
were to be here, but how being here made it
impossible to know what was happening everywhere else. And then
even to D's point, like we were just kind of
bopping around town, and then when there were lots of people,
you know, by the time we got to points where
Front Street was like covered in people, then you had
(07:23):
peers in the industry being like, you guys don't film
on a secure lot.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh, they like don't care.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
If you guys get shot, Like that's being crazy, and
we were.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Like, oh, we were like, we were like wait, what,
Like what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
We think our fans are really nice, you know, spoiler
alert you are, but like it was this weird thing
where no matter what was happening, the feedback we were
getting was that it was like, because of whatever was happening,
it wasn't a big deal. And so the really interesting
thing I think about it has been realizing, you know,
(08:05):
in the later years certainly and really since it wrapped,
realizing how global it is, Realizing how you know, there's
folks that we've met in rooms like this that are
our age who started watching the show alongside us, and
now they're coming here with their teenagers that have the
(08:27):
names of our characters, and their teenagers are all watching
it with their friends, and we're like, can you believe
for nine years we thought we were going to get
canceled every every year, and like we're not even a
new show and all.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
These why none of us drove nice cars. See, there's
a thing in LA And if we had been in La,
this would have happened to us. If you book a
pilot in LA, you buy a range Rover or Mercedes
immediately because you're like, I'm famous, I'm going to be
so rich, and then your show gets canceled and you
have to turn your car back in because you can't
hear the weeks. But over here we were just kind
(09:01):
of like, Okay, well this is probably going to end
at any moment. Yeah we better like you know, just yeah,
be cool, don't freak out, and like I don't know,
Like in.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Season eight, three of us were sharing an apartment, yeah
in downtown over a bar that like the walls would
vibrate at night and I'd be like, fuck, I just
want to go to sleep, but it was really cheap
and it felt smart because we really thought we were
like a hair away from always losing our job.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And now people are like crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Cultural phenomenon and we're like, yeah, maybe we should have
asked for a reason.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
I don't know. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
My name is Ris.
Speaker 10 (09:46):
I'm originally from Akron, Ohio, but I just moved here
a month ago for One Tree Hill. Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Question was for each of you, which Brooke Arrow is
your favorite? And why?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh my god, wad do we equit Brook Davis with
Taylor Swift?
Speaker 9 (10:01):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (10:02):
You guys, I don't know you go well, you mean
because high school Brook?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (10:12):
Our Brook? That saved my life? Sorry, Brook, that saved
my life that era. That was big of you.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
I like, like, you know your boyfriend was slapping me
in the shower.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I was so scary.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
What happened on this show when I left? What happened?
You were getting slapped?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (10:41):
I believe that was the only way to revive me
from some sort of heroin overdose.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Your own heroin?
Speaker 8 (10:49):
I think so? Was it heroin? It must have been said.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
It was extreme.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I like bikes.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
I'm not sure. I missed a lot here. I appreciate
life saving Brook era of life saving Brooke, like.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
I like Brooke, that is like boss Brook. You've always
been Boss Brook though, like, well, Brooke has always been
Boss Brook, you know what I'm getting at. But also
Sophia has always been so you like.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
Close over bros era which era?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
No, I'm getting to it, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Don't rush her, rush don't. Oh, she's so.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Good at I don't know where I got this from.
I've never even listened to this stuff before. I really love.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
I love the fact that you took charge always in
every situation and made sure people were taken care of.
And I think that is a through line for brook Brook.
It's like ultimately who Brooke was, So I don't think
there's a specific era for her. For me, it was
always like basically obviously we understand that things get crossed
here and that is very Sophia thing. And I'm very
(12:01):
partial to that because I've always been very taking care
of by Sophia and yeah, you sweet soul.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
It's funny because when I think about like the things
I really enjoyed, I think, you know, we Easton were
in season eight of the podcast. I really like looking
back on the the physical comedy kind of fight between
Brook and Sylvia, I really enjoy, you know, the Big
(12:33):
Bridge episode with the car accident and Jamie, Like it's
my favorite kind of genre.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Of like action vibe.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
But also I'm just like hanging out with a kid,
which clearly I like to do high little baby, but
but yeah, looking back on it, I also like when
she's kind of nuts, like how fun when she she
just doesn't care, and I like that it reminds me
(13:01):
to just not worry so much.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
I think because her values were set, her values stayed
in place, so if she went crazy, it was okay
that she went crazy or crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You know, whenever I hear someone say she's crazy, Ago
would you do to her?
Speaker 8 (13:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Exactly, yeah, exactly, Yeah, Yeah, her values were set.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Thank you? So what she said for me?
Speaker 11 (13:27):
So, my name is Sidney. I'm actually here from New Hampshire.
This is my first solo trip.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That's where Jenny Woman in Chair is from.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Oh, Woman in Chair.
Speaker 11 (13:37):
So my question is I was wondering if you have
a favorite outfit from any of your episodes any season.
Definitely got a lot of my fashion and spoke from
the show.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So I was curious.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I remember mine clear as day.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Yeah, And it was the moment that we just decided
to let Bevin go off the rails. And it was
us in the wardrobe apartment, and I said, I made
that pink top and it was like a pink low
cut tight top and a purple teared skirt that barely
(14:10):
covered my bum, barely covered it. And I was like,
I understand her now for the first Like it was
like as soon as I got that wardrobe thing right,
I was like, I know exactly where we're going with this,
and I'll never forget it.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Wardrobe is very important. I like the cat suit when
we broke into the school, when.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
We broke into the school.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
Ye, yeah, I love the cat suits.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We were so cute and that so cute.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Hello, my name's Michelle. I'm from Florence, Kentucky.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
And I was just wondering, having talked about it and
looking back at the show, if you guys had a
friendship slash relationship that you rooted for the most or
was your favorite and why on the show.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Well, clearly I didn't watch it so.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Right, Yeah, she's not talking about behind the scenes.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, I like that so much.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
We're not allowed to talk about that. I liked ours,
I loved our relationship Brook and Rachel, and I would
have rooted for more than that. That's like kind of
my common theme. I just wanted Rachel to be more
in and more like genuinely in and stay there. I
(15:26):
think she wanted to be there, and all the kids
at school and even even after with they wanted to
keep letting her in, but she kept messing it up.
So anyway, that's me. You saved my life. I feel
like Rachel would have never I didn't hit you. No,
you didn't, so you know, And that was the kind
(15:49):
of hitting for a purpose, like it was a panic.
Owen was Vin literally just goes, who's Owen? Oh my god?
How late can you guys say? Because we just see
to watch like eight seasons? Everybody have time? Can we
never caught up?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Draw the family tree of the I agree with that.
I wish we had had more time as characters, for sure.
One of the things I actually thought was really impactful
and we'd like use it when it was necessary as
(16:27):
a device, and then it would kind of go away
and we'd always be a little bummed about it was
the friendship between Brooke and Nathan.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Because they write like they had this.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Almost like the Yin Yang experience, like they weren't exact
mirror images of each other, but so close with these
toxic parents and this weird upbringing and all the things,
and when they would lean on each other and talk
about that and talk about, you know, the ways they'd
(17:03):
kind of learned to just like show up and do
it all maybe in certain ways that like weren't.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
So good for them.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Weird.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
We talked about this this morning.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, yep, not about on screen things, but like, I
think that's really relatable, even though Brook Davis's life for
Nathan Scott's life might not have been so relatable. And
the core of that friendship I wish we'd see more
of because if you think about how immensely valuable the
Lucas and Haley friendship was, to have platonic friendship, you know,
(17:36):
between a boy and a girl in high school and
in young life is so valuable. And I actually think
Nathan and Brooke had a version of a Lucas and
Haley friendship. I do think that the writer, as much
like they would do to Rachel, would do Brook dirty,
and when they needed drama, they'd be like.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Let's find out about some horrible things she.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Did sex tape episode. I was like, come on, you know,
and you get the script and you're like, I can't
believe I have to do this, And like, I wish
they'd leaned a little more into the thing that they
actually knew worked, which wasn't the shock and awe drama
of a scandal for one to two episodes, but was
(18:19):
a core friendship that could be defining to the characters
and to the audience. And I feel like, I feel
like we got little like appetizers of that, but I
wanted a meal.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
Hi.
Speaker 12 (18:45):
I'm Susannah. I live in Atlanta, but I'm from Colombia.
I can't sit back down without letting you guys know
that your show has gotten me through a really last
year and I just want to thank you so much
for that. Like you have no idea of rewatching it
for like the million time through like rewatching the show
now that, especially with the podcast. Is there any time
(19:07):
or any lesson that you think that looking back on,
that you've maybe learned now that has helped you in
your daily adult life.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Please don't laugh.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Community organizing changes the world cited by.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I got crabs at Carl's.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Well done Brooke Davis pulling a Sally Field and organizing
the union.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Fairy Chic very timely.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Bev okay for you to talk about it.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Look, I mean in all honesty, are you talking about
on the like during on the show, within the show, yeah, or.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Just you know, looking back at that time of your life.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Yeah, I mean when something incredibly traumatic happens in your
life and people that you stay in contact with run
to you as fast as they can get there or
call as fast as they can, and you understand as
(20:24):
an adult that how what matters and what is real
and there is nothing more real than the time that
we have spent together. And these have been, you know,
lifelines for me, like complete lifelines. And it wasn't something
(20:46):
that I fully expected. I knew no matter what if
I called and I needed help, people would be there,
but I didn't expect everybody to run and they ran.
M m.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Yeah ditto.
Speaker 13 (21:13):
Same Yeah, yeah, Hi everyone, I'm Prianca. I live in Nashville, Tennessee.
It's my first time to Wilmington, so I'm really happy
to be here. Welcome with everyone, and just you know
what everyone else has been saying, I really feel the special,
you know, genuine love here, and you can really tell
the show you know went on. Here's just so nice
(21:34):
to feel. So my question was, what do you think
the three of you would be doing in the future.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Are we talking like, really, what's the next step in
the storyline, or are we talking like if we got
to shake the snow globe and just party? Because if
we got to shake the snow globe and party, I'm like,
I don't know what Brooke Day is doing. But if
she has a beach house with Bevan and Rachel, I'm.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
That would be so much fun, right compound like that
does that track to her life that we have?
Speaker 13 (22:10):
Yeah, future in her life?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Oh, but it would be fun.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
It'd be amazing about if Rachel has the beach house. Yeah,
that she bought in some like drug and whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
She gone, she sold the plane and bought us a
beach house.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
She bought a beach house. She's been renting it forever.
It's in shambles and so.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
But she need a friend who's a designer, perhaps.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
But she the house is in shambles and she's run
out of money. So she has to come back to
Tree Hill because it's the only place she she has left,
and she moves in pretending it's like a fabulous beach house,
but it's really and it's falling apart, and she has
to like start an Instagram account where she's like tiling
(23:04):
everything herself and it's a freaking mess.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
That's my literal dream come true for myself.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Anyway, I'm not a writer. I'm just spitballingall.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
That and that, and that is how Brooke and Rachel
rekindle their friendship because Brooke Davis says, you're doing a
terrible job tiling yourself, and I can't allow.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
This show so much life right about who? I don't know?
Who do you think to tell?
Speaker 9 (23:37):
And you know?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
And not a reboot, just kind of a continuation.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Like a like a chapter two or three, Volume two,
Volume two, Yes, we did a volume oon and.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
We need a volume Eric, do you have a question
or Okay? Great?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I was like, I would like just like want of
the boys to ask a question. So of course it's me,
of course it's you.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Of course it's me.
Speaker 14 (24:18):
So I've always been I'm a pisces, so I've always
been interested in humanity, interacting, feelings, all of those things.
And I think it's been touched on a lot around
here about how this is such a community and how
we see each other and we share our lives together.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
And so I'm going to take a page from Sophia
and ask you, what is your work in progress?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Well done, sir, well done.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I'm like, you kind of did me dirty. But I'm
so flattered. I really wasn't prepared for that. Okay, oh
oh boy. Sometimes I'm like, oh.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's so emotional.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
What's happening in my chest?
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Oh boy?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
The about you're so glad to be my boss.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
I where you came from?
Speaker 14 (25:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I all that, and where you're going
and where do you see that.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'll sell you for me.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
There's like a really interesting kind of It's like it's
kind of like a seesaw, but like that ride with
the boat that like goes all the way around which
you're convinced you'll die on at the amusement.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Park, like that whatever that's called.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Because there is the experience of being a human trying
to figure out how to human better wrapped in the
experience of being a human that is a public commodity
in some way, and you know that most of what's
(26:05):
out in that layer is like fractional or inaccurate or
weirdly offensive or whatever, and you're not supposed to take
it personally. But you also can't exist in your job
without confronting it.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And I think my work in progress is to learn
as a human to stop trying to perform to please
other people and lose myself in it, so that in
(26:52):
my life and then ironically outside in the world, I
can actually be more tender. I can fail in public,
I can ask questions and try really hard to encourage
other people to ask questions too. It's it's like a
(27:17):
constant work in progress for me to not get quiet
to protect my actual world or life or friends, and
instead like figure out how to transform some of like
(27:38):
the worst ways we as people can treat each other,
so that I can continue to show up for the
best ways we as people treat each other in like today,
in rooms like this. And I don't know that I
always get it right, but I do know that since
the fall of twenty twenty two, I haven't excellent therapist
(28:01):
who I love, and he's worth every non insured penny
I pay him, And here we are, And I think
if I think if like in the way you both
do as my friends, and in the way certain things
that I've experienced with you guys in this space, like
(28:22):
if we can just show up for each other and
see each other and cheer each other on a little bit,
Like what does that experience do when each of us
goes out into the world, into our communities. That excites me.
And so yeah, just I don't know, trying to figure
out how to human better.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
I'm just trying not to cry. So beautiful, You're beautiful.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Yeah, you're next.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Oh no, that was a Sophia question I could not answer.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Did you you.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Do not do it like that?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
What's your work in progress?
Speaker 8 (29:19):
My babies?
Speaker 9 (29:22):
You know?
Speaker 8 (29:23):
And I'm not like to be completely honest since Sofia
just spared her soul, like I'm I'm not in front
of the camera anymore, and that's really hard, but because
I miss that and there's an energy that happens, and
you know, that was such a big part of my life.
(29:45):
But I'm married to an actor and he's a better actor.
He really is, and he's fantastic, and I love you, Jensen,
but you're amazing. But I think, but I think that
he's doing really well right now, and I'm I want
(30:07):
nothing more than to be with my children. That is
like my true core, Like I love it so much
and just coming to terms with that. I know it
sounds weird, but it's like okay, because I always put
in my head like you're gonna do You're gonna be
what you used to be, and I don't know. This
(30:27):
is like the mother struggle for a lot of people.
You I know, the theme is you can do it all,
but you can't really do it all well. And I'm
trying to decide or I've decided in my mind that
like I just really want to be an excellent mother
and I want to support my fellow actors and the
(30:51):
best way I can, and right now that's learning to
be the best producer I can possibly be. And that
gives me a lot of freedom to be with my
family but still keep my foot in the business in
the best way, so you know, I think. But it's
just it's something like I always miss. But my work
(31:12):
is to just really embrace how grateful I should be
for absolutely every single day because my kids are the
greatest kids that have ever stepped foot on this planet,
you know, And I just I love being a mom.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
And.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I got to say, because I think it's really important
to give people their flowers any chance you get. Like,
even in this journey that we've been on together, I
have not been producing as long as you have. I
have produced with some pretty exceptional people, and I have
(31:50):
learned some of the most valuable lessons of my career
about being a producer, about how to use power in
the best way possible, and also how to do that
in the most human way possible. From you.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Oh, so.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
She's exceptional.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Not gonna cry, Bevin, Well come up, no, Bevin, what's
your work in progress.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
At the same time, I have to comment on the
fact that there's been two very specific errors in my life.
And one what's first, you who took me under your
wing and without any questions, you just graciously showed me
everything you knew, everything you knew. And then there was
(32:48):
you know, your life was happening and things were happening.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
And then Danielle walked in. And daniel has been.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
A big sister to me since the day I met
you and discussed earlier. Much older than the rest of them,
seventy six, Y're so close, much older. So glad you
know it's the only role I could take. Yeah, And.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
I think that at this point in my life, you know,
I really hope there's a day that comes back where
I consider what my personal life might be like a
little bit, but.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
It's just not now.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
And right now, what I think about every day is
how I can create a space for people to feel
safe and loved and allowed to be exactly as they are,
exactly as they are, And that is what I wake
up with every single day, and I think about when
(33:50):
I walk in to my studio and when I move
through life. I just want people to understand that there's
one of you, all of time, and so that means
that your experience is completely unique to anyone else's, and
that means that it is not your place to judge
(34:14):
what it is that you are and how you feel,
and like it's not your place to judge it, but
it's just your place to deeply understand it and then
do your best to share it because that will make
the world a better place because all of us, you know,
have something to share that maybe someone else. And I'm
(34:40):
just telling you you gotta, you gotta, you gotta step
into that power right now. If you're feeling something right now,
this is your cue to step up and in, Step
up and in and share as much as you can.
