00:00Congratulations on season two.
00:02I'm so excited for everyone to see it.
00:04I loved both seasons.
00:06Well, I haven't watched the full season two yet, but.
00:09Neither have we.
00:09Oh, well, good.
00:10We're all in this together.
00:11What a shot.
00:12Right?
00:13We're like, we don't know where we're going.
00:14I like don't remember.
00:15Yeah, yeah.
00:16It'll be a surprise for us.
00:16Everyone was saying it felt like it was just yesterday
00:19that it was filming.
00:19Is it different for you?
00:21It's, it's funny.
00:22It feels like somehow, yes, we just wrapped,
00:25but also I don't remember anything that we did.
00:28Yeah, yeah.
00:29Yeah, I feel like I have no condensed memories
00:31from the time.
00:32And the two seasons really bleed together.
00:34So much.
00:35Yeah.
00:36Yeah.
00:37Yeah.
00:38Anyway.
00:38It does feel like a long time ago.
00:39Yeah.
00:40I don't know.
00:41So it's good then that you don't have to worry
00:42about spoiling it then.
00:43Cause you're like, I don't know what happened.
00:45I don't know what happened.
00:46Girl.
00:47Who knows?
00:48Like, actually.
00:49In fact, we'll probably mislead people.
00:51Yeah.
00:51True.
00:52I mean, that's, that's fun though.
00:53Then you can just start spitting lies.
00:54Like, I think this happened.
00:55We did consider doing that earlier.
00:57I was like, when Ron becomes a mummy.
00:58Why don't you just start saying random things?
01:00I was going to ask, like, have you contributed
01:02to any, like, guesses on what's going on?
01:06Where you're just like, actually saying wrong things.
01:08Subterfuge?
01:09Yeah.
01:10Right, yeah.
01:11Like a little misdirection.
01:12Oh.
01:12Hmm.
01:14Like, we could start it now.
01:16Yeah.
01:17It's like when Ron and Charlie fall in love,
01:18that's a crazy plot twist.
01:22And then I have to mediate their.
01:25Divorce?
01:26Divorce.
01:27I thought it was going to be wedding, but.
01:28It ultimately didn't.
01:29It did not work out quick.
01:30Well, I did, I officiated and then I mediated.
01:33Yeah.
01:33Yeah.
01:34Okay.
01:35I love that.
01:36Of course.
01:37I want to get real.
01:38I mean, you all play ghosts, right?
01:41And so, what is, like, a pro and a con of being a ghost?
01:45Con is you're always wearing the same clothes.
01:47And you can't leave that school.
01:48You can't leave the school.
01:49Yeah, those are two big cons.
01:51Do you mean, like.
01:52For acting?
01:53Acting playing the ghost?
01:54Or, like, a character that is a ghost?
01:56I mean, I was going more on the character of ghost.
01:59Like, being an actual ghost.
02:01I would say, actually, those two might still stand for me.
02:03If you're actually a ghost or being the character.
02:05Yeah, you'd probably go crazy, like,
02:06wearing the same clothes.
02:07I think you're stuck in limbo.
02:08Stuck in the school.
02:09But also, there's a certain, like, you can eat.
02:11But I think, always, right?
02:13Yep.
02:14Are you hungry?
02:15Yeah.
02:16Eat, like, I don't know.
02:18Cheerios?
02:19Cereal?
02:20You know, spaghetti a la Checa, yeah, cereal.
02:23Jack's, yeah.
02:24Good job.
02:27Or, yeah, but there's not the same satisfaction.
02:29You know, you eat a big, you know,
02:31you're like, oh yeah, I ate that.
02:32But I think there's a different,
02:33that's a big con, as well.
02:34Like, you don't get the same.
02:35Never feeling full.
02:36Never feeling full.
02:37Never feeling satisfied.
02:38I mean, I didn't know how food really went in this series.
02:41Like, I always pictured it in, like,
02:43Pirates of the Caribbean, where the pirate
02:45wants to eat the apple, but he can't.
02:47But I don't know if that's how it feels here.
02:49I think we can eat.
02:50We can, but there's been some discrepancy
02:52on set about this as well.
02:53I think I'm learning, though, right now,
02:55that apparently we can eat, but we don't feel full.
02:57Which, I didn't know that was part of it.
02:59I think it's like, it's not really, it's more of a.
03:01It's not like we're digesting.
03:03Yes, it's like all the memory play.
03:04It resets after it hits your stomach.
03:06Okay, what's a good thing about being a ghost?
03:08Being silly?
03:09No, I don't know.
03:10I'm only thinking of.
03:11You've got time.
03:12You never age.
03:13Time to think, yeah.
03:14You get to meet people from other eras.
03:16You can fly on people.
03:17You can't get hurt.
03:18You can't fly on people, you can't get hurt.
03:19You can't feel pain.
03:20Yeah.
03:21Yes, yes.
03:22You can't die.
03:23Are you just cancer pain?
03:24Yeah, that's true.
03:25Yeah, you can't die.
03:27You can only die once.
03:29And you, you know, you can make guesses
03:34and money guesses about the future,
03:37and you can bet on the future, but you can't redeem it.
03:40I don't know.
03:41I don't know, like, hey, what's gonna happen.
03:41Is that being a line, too?
03:42I know nothing.
03:43They have a board where it's like,
03:44I think this is gonna happen.
03:46I think if Mr. Martin was running a gamble,
03:48he'd escape down there.
03:49I've got a bookie.
03:50You can just make guesses.
03:52I, part time with a bookie.
03:53There's the support group,
03:54and then at night, there's the bookie club.
03:57Anyway, I don't know, I'm just trying to find the, yeah.
04:01Yeah, this is more of the day where we all get.
04:03And I think that's the answer.
04:04Yeah.
04:05Yeah, sorry.
04:05No, that is the answer.
04:06And going off of that, you talked about how,
04:08you know, you can only talk to the people
04:10that are there with you.
04:11Yeah.
04:12So, if you could bring anyone into, like, the school,
04:15let's say, and you would haunt together forever,
04:17who would you want to bring?
04:18In our real lives?
04:19Yeah, they can be, like, real, dead, anything you want.
04:22Meryl Streep.
04:24I'm sorry.
04:25I don't understand the rules of the game.
04:26You become a really good actor.
04:28Yes, you just get, you get acting lessons from the rest of us.
04:30Oh my God!
04:31Meryl Streep.
04:32Meryl Streep.
04:35You're already amazing.
04:36No, that wasn't, that wasn't a criticism.
04:38That wasn't a, that wasn't a.
04:39Nick, get out.
04:40Nick, there's a door over there.
04:41You can, like, take Meryl Streep.
04:44Don't worry, it's the other way around.
04:45Which we all feel is, I promise, I just meant, like.
04:48I hope I can get some acting classes out of it.
04:51Thank you, Nick.
04:52Who's next?
04:54Oh God, I'm sorry.
04:56And I guess, like, my dog.
04:58That's a good one.
04:59Yeah, that is a good one.
05:02What's your dog's name?
05:03Finley.
05:03He's in this season.
05:05Episode five.
05:07He's, he's in it.
05:08I've heard so much about episode five.
05:09I'm so excited.
05:10And Finley's in it.
05:11Okay, yeah.
05:12Got it.
05:13Episode five is out.
05:14That's why you've heard so much about episode five.
05:15He's in it.
05:15No one had a name dropped, but, like, that.
05:17Finley.
05:18No, that's a big, people will, that's a big reveal.
05:21He's, it's kind of gone to his head.
05:22Yeah.
05:23He's a D by now.
05:24Yeah, so it's a lot, but I guess I'll plug it for him.
05:28He's taking acting lessons with Meryl Streep.
05:30So Finley and Meryl Streep are there, okay.
05:32Yeah, yeah, those are good answers.
05:34Nick, did you have a different answer for yourself?
05:36I was thinking, I was going, like, Beyonce.
05:39Oh, and you could learn from her.
05:41You asshole.
05:43You can learn some singing, some dancing.
05:48Josh, how about you?
05:49What?
05:51There are no rules, really, to the game.
05:53Who would you invite in to, to, to split the number?
05:54We've already got Beyonce, we've got, let's see.
05:55Yeah, so if you were gonna haunt forever with someone.
05:59Maybe, like, your wife.
05:59Who would you choose?
06:00Oh, I should, my wife?
06:02That would probably be nice.
06:02Oh, that's, that would be crazy.
06:04You're advocating for her, you're like,
06:05you should.
06:06I should have brought my girlfriend with me.
06:07I should have brought Finley.
06:10No, you wouldn't.
06:11Yeah, sure.
06:13Yeah, okay, my wife.
06:16If you wanted to pick another, which would be cool.
06:17Yeah, I mean, I just, I,
06:21like a great, I mean, I don't know, we've got,
06:23we've got dancing, we've got singing, we've got acting.
06:25I feel like we should bring.
06:26Like a wrestler?
06:27Like a wrestler.
06:28Yeah, that would probably be fun.
06:30The Rock.
06:31I'd like to bring The Rock.
06:32He has all of it, really.
06:33Yeah, he does.
06:34He does do it all.
06:35There you go.
06:36You're right, actually, he could.
06:36He would be a great addition to the show.
06:38He would.
06:39I mean, he would really bring something we don't have.
06:41I mean.
06:42That's true.
06:42If he rolls, can he roll up with, like, a ukulele?
06:45I don't know why, I picture him.
06:46Oh, yeah.
06:47Yeah, yeah.
06:48Contractually, yeah, he has to.
06:49I don't, or, it fits.
06:52Well, not to, like, divert from all of that,
06:54but Nick, I did want to ask you,
06:56because we posted a little bit on our TikTok,
07:00and it was the, just kind of a relationship timeline
07:03of Emilio and Charlie.
07:05And we got this comment that said,
07:07truly the best gay storyline I have seen in years.
07:10This show is so underrated.
07:12Season two is about to go crazy.
07:15So I just wanted to get kind of your reaction to that.
07:17That's the sweetest thing.
07:18I just told this story today
07:20that somebody at the gym came up to me,
07:22and he relayed to me that basically the storyline
07:25between Charlie and Emilio was his exact storyline.
07:28Like, he came from Latin America,
07:30and then was in a relationship,
07:32that they were in the closet, they got outed,
07:34they broke up, there was some mean letter,
07:37and then they never were able to speak to each other again.
07:39And so it's, I mean, that's amazing.
07:42That, like, makes me so happy
07:43that it's resonating with people.
07:46Yeah, absolutely.
07:47That's incredible.
07:49I don't know who commented that.
07:50I would say that, I didn't write it down,
07:53but it's definitely, like, user one, two, three, four, five.
07:55But I will find it for later.
07:57Like Milo's fan, blah, blah, blah.
07:59Yeah, exactly.
08:00And I'll find it for later.
08:02But also, going off of that,
08:03do you have a gay storyline
08:05that really resonates with you in other media?
08:08Oh, gosh.
08:10You know, okay, I don't know if this is necessarily
08:12something that I relate to,
08:15but something that really struck me
08:16is there's this book called Tell the Wolves I'm Home.
08:19I've talked about this so many times.
08:21And it's just, like, gorgeous,
08:23and it's about the relationship or friendship
08:25that blooms between this 14-year-old girl
08:27who loses her uncle and her uncle's partner.
08:32And they sort of have this bond through mutual grief
08:36of losing the most important person
08:38that they loved the most.
08:41And that storyline is, like,
08:43just heartbreaking and beautiful
08:47and just shows all sides of love
08:51and sort of the casualties that can also happen
08:56in moments of loss that reach out.
09:00I love that.
09:00I'll definitely have to check it out.
09:01It's so good.
09:02Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Ryfka-Byrne.
09:04Yes, yes, blah, blah, blah.
09:06I DM'd her on Instagram.
09:07I was like, I love your book so much.
09:10And she responded.
09:11Aw.
09:12Yeah, she was great.
09:14Going off of other storylines,
09:16I did ask this to the other group
09:17because I was curious.
09:18And I asked, do you think that people
09:20are going to start shipping Claire and Nicole together?
09:24I just wanted to know, what are your thoughts on that?
09:27That would be a really good storyline.
09:30That'd be hot.
09:32I'll ship it.
09:33Yeah, we'll start it.
09:34I mean, yeah, I think that happens, actually.
09:36Yeah, I think that, yeah, I saw that somewhere.
09:39And if it doesn't, next season.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Right.
09:44Season three.
09:45And then, what do you think their ship name would be, though?
09:46Because that was really, they were torn on that.
09:48Claire and Nicole.
09:50Not Nair, because that's the hair removal.
09:53No, that would be different.
09:54Clicquot?
09:55Clicquot?
09:56Yeah.
09:57Clicquot sounds like it could be French.
09:58That's weird.
09:59Clicquot.
10:00Clicquot.
10:01I think they came from something similar.
10:03Really?
10:04There we go.
10:05Yeah, yeah.
10:06That's it.
10:09Sarah's going to be thinking about,
10:10I'm going to get texted at midnight tonight.
10:11I'm just going to be like, I got it.
10:13I'm a visual learner, so I have to write it down,
10:16and then I'll.
10:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:18When you write in the air.
10:18Right, like Voldemort, just kind of figure it out.
10:21Yeah.
10:22No, I was just wondering,
10:23do you write in cursive when you write in the air?
10:24No.
10:24I don't think I write in the air that often.
10:27Oh.
10:28That's not a thing I'm doing so much.
10:31But the next time I do it, I'll try to take note
10:33of if I'm writing in cursive.
10:34Yeah, if it's in cursive or an app.
10:36No, I write in uppercase.
10:37Uppercase.
10:37Yeah.
10:38Oh, see, that's an uppercase.
10:39Well, that's unhinged.
10:40I'm an air writer.
10:41That's crazy.
10:42What is one short little tease you can say
10:44for audiences for season two?
10:46I know it's hard, no spoilers.
10:47It's gayer.
10:49It is gayer.
10:50That is what we love to hear.
10:52Yeah.
10:55And hotter.
10:56And hotter, too.
10:58Because of the gayer.
10:58It's gayer and hotter.
10:59And therefore, sexier.
11:01Yep.
11:02And all the adjectives that go along with those three.
11:05Yes.
11:05Yes, perfect, mic drop.
11:07Well, thank you so much.
11:10Thank you so much.
