SPEAKER_01 3:21

Don't find out just neck it butt. Also, Chloe, you and I are driving, so only one.

SPEAKER_02 3:27

Just the one darling. Just the one darling.

SPEAKER_01 3:30

Not even one. Excuse me?

SPEAKER_02 3:32

Not one. So we walked.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

We left part one with lovely stories about the auditions, and John and Dan were talking about their auditions to Arda. And we were saying, you know, the whole point of this podcast was that I remember something really funny that the two of us we we did not meet each other like properly and like were close until you were dating Dan and I was dating John. Like it's just crazy to think about. So you need to tell us if you remember your first times meeting the other person. Because there's a beautiful story between the two of you about scene partners, which I love. We were our relationship went on for a long time.

SPEAKER_04 4:14

No, I remember being very uh well, because it was day one of school, because we had like three days of like orientation, but then we had day one of classes. And I remember like like what I was saying in the last episode about just being like, wow, this is all so new, it's all so cool. Maybe just try to throw away the champagne fork and it just went on the floor. Uh but and then just being like an aunt, and I I think because you were British. But no, but there is a like a stereotype with actors that like British are like the best. Um but just no, you just had a great vibe, and then I just remember like wanting your approval very much. The first couple weeks. Or first couple months. I mean still. Uh like I remember I just remember that I don't know why that's like the number one thing that stuck out. It's just always, but like in like a nice way. It wasn't like you were mean and I was like, I need you to like me. It was like uh, oh, I I just really respect what this person has to say, even though and I think that's just something as you carry, because it was like week one. So I couldn't have known if you were the best or the worst, but I think you just have that thing. They talk about it like uh when you're a kid and you're playing kickball, and you just choose a f who's carrying themselves the best. So I think that was you, so you just carried yourself well. And I remember uh there's like so many funny stories that oh we both remember. One that I bet you don't remember is when we read um for school, we had to like read certain plays, and sometimes we'd all like meet up as friends and read them. And so we read Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? And we cast each other as Georgia Martha. Oh. And I did an English accent, and you were like, hey, just so you know, every American at the school thinks they can do an English accent, but you really can. Oh and I was like, I've made it. But then I was like, I remember yeah, well, I thought it was nice. But I also remember being like, we're gonna do this in 50 years. And I was and I remember it being like, Oh, I will do this. I will know her 50 years from now. And then the other, not to get too soft, there's another thing that I used to always think is when I went back home and I would tell friends, like, how cool is it? I have friends that are like big city friends, and it was always your image. It would always be like, Oh, that's my big city friend.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Oh, I love that.

SPEAKER_01 6:35

It's me, right? But it's so weird that you felt like not the approval thing, but like you had it from the minute I met you, bruh. Like, I like honestly, I remember fully just seeing you, and you went, you just made everyone laugh, which is just a gift you have that just comes naturally, you're just naturally really funny. You're talented as fuck, but like the the the funny just exudes and it makes everyone get there. We had quite a feral but really good section one. We did, it was very boy heavy, which I know a lot of the others were not, they were all very girl heavy. Yeah. But we had the boy, like girls were struggling to get girl partners because we had all boys. So it was a lot of boy-girl scenes. There was only like one girl scene um between two. And I remember just being like, I want to work with Dan. Never fucking happened. Because Susan was like, no, that like that, no, we're gonna separate those two. That would be a bit too much, I think. A little too hyper. A little too hyper. But it was just my favourite memories of you because you you very, you very much, I think we both pride ourselves on this. We very much locked on in acting. Um, and if there was fun to be had, let's say, movement was feral. It was feral in that room. We just did not do very well. We did through, but we did, but we were very like, we were very like, okay, guys, be a feather, and I would just catch Danny and we'd be like, yeah, you'll be a feather. Like and like anything to do with that fucking room 54 wall, where did it come from? Does this have you heard about the creaking? Yes. Let's go into it real quick.

SPEAKER_04 7:57

We've talked about it on the show, right? It is my I don't think I don't think we've talked about the creaking on the show.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

No, because you haven't been on the show before.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

So when you do movement class, you have to like lay out your um yoga mats in like a circle, you're all like doing warm-ups and all laughing and having a good time, and that Dan would always just like at random points lift up his top, make everyone laugh, and it would just be like, this is the best thing ever.

SPEAKER_04 8:18

Do anything for attention.

SPEAKER_01 8:20

Yeah, it was great. But it was never like, oh Danny, do something funny. It just happened at the right moment. You know, I mean it happened at the right time. So I remember just I also don't know if it helped you, but I was like, I laughed hysterically at you, which probably didn't help anyone because I was like, I'm gonna bring that fucker up, do that again. Or I lean in, take your dart off. But I don't know where the came from, but we all had to line up and you had to do things um one by one. Why are you laughing?

SPEAKER_04 8:47

No, it's just a good memory.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

You had to do things one by one, as you remember, like go across the floor and do something. And so she was like, Okay, everybody, it was an Ari, it's an amazing woman. Everyone go up against the d uh the wall, and we'll be like, okay, and then Dan just at one point always fucking next to me, would be like like lean, and I'd be like, Oh, that's funny. You're funny, you're funny, kid. You're funny, and then the wall would just go and we went, oh, and we both lay down, we're like, that's cool, in the silence, and then he'd and I was like, This is becoming this is becoming a problem. Because obviously anything he did, I'd start laughing, and then the best I'll never forget. I wish I could demonstrate the wall, he put his hand on the wall, doing like the Samson, like trying to impress him, come here off and I would be in floods of tears, and Nari would be like, Okay, you go across the floor, and I'd be like, They're my favourite memories. It's just anything to do with movement. I remember because we weren't together for the rest of the season. Um so I just have movement. I remember so much because we were just so solid, and then the best memories of you and I were when we when you were my full staff.

SPEAKER_02 9:54

Oh I was Prince Hal.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

Like they they live rent free, and then you came up to me with full and you're like, I have nodes.

SPEAKER_00 10:00

I have more. I just learned what? I have nodes.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

Oh yeah. And I was like, oh my god. Oh my god. And then you still push through that and it was amazing, and I I still love it. So my my love for you was always strong the minute you came in the room, bro. So I love our I love our friendship. I love it all.

SPEAKER_04 10:14

So what's the you guys did a scene?

SPEAKER_01 10:17

Yeah, bro. You need to This shit is so good, Chloe. I beg you, I beg wait, no, first off, what did you tell us about um your first response, response to Chloe? Do you remember it?

SPEAKER_05 10:30

I do. Um, I think one of well, the one thing that I thought about my group is that there were maybe like two or three who I was just like, okay, these are genuine human beings who I actually think I could get along with, and the rest of them are fucking nuts.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:45

Yeah, love it.

SPEAKER_05 10:46

And Chloe was one of those.

SPEAKER_02 10:48

Yay! The fucking nuts one.

SPEAKER_05 10:52

But um, yeah, no, I think we just like got on like a house on fire. And it was just like, and it was just like so easy. It was so easy and simple. Um, whereas like there's a lot of drama with other people in that classroom. Um, which was fun.

SPEAKER_01 11:08

Nah, when you're not in it, when you're not in it, it's you can chill out of it, right?

SPEAKER_05 11:12

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, no, I I think the vibe was always really like positive. It was. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

And we can always count on each other. I think we're really similar.

SPEAKER_05 11:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

And like I think we like, yeah. Yeah, you are. And we like act really similar too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when we got to do that scene together, like we basically did a scene where I had like a broken ankle in the scene, and not really. Um, and John had to like carry me in, and the whole part was just like trying to put me down on the couch and like I talk about my ankle being the size of a grapefruit. And it was like the whole big deal. But like, that was such a fun like process to rehearse. And I had like a really like crappy scene partner before you.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

You had a bad experience.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

A really bad experience. And then so then we when we were together, I was like, oh thank God.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

And everything just came easy. Yeah, was there a part of you that going having a really bad experience beforehand, going in and being like, I've got another, I've got another dude.

SPEAKER_02 12:02

Did you already have an opinion of him that was good before you went into that scene, or were you kind of like, I really hope he I will feel as safe and oh no, I mean I knew John was a safe guy from the beginning, and that but that's what was so fun about being in our section was that like I knew he was safe. I was really excited to work with you. And like you were like my first like American, you know what I mean? Like, because yeah, the I mean, it was just so fun, and like I was acting with an American, and like you were so American, and it was so much fun. Um, but then you were also like this teddy bear of a guy, and you still are. But it's just like it was just so like like this is gonna, this is gonna be good. Like, I'm gonna have a really good experience, and I did, and it was so fun, and like we were with Burke, which is our teacher Burke, yeah. He was like a golden retriever, it was so cute.

SPEAKER_05 12:44

I think that was like a really interesting thing, is that when we were we were in the two sections that first year, and the first section was very much like a you had the the old wise sage who is guiding you along this like initial path of your journey, easing you into your Jedi training, yeah. Yeah, exactly. And then you get this section too, and it's like the steel curtain has gone up to the state. The state has told you that you are to be an actor, and an actor you will be.

SPEAKER_02 13:19

Which was so good though, because then because we'd like met each other and had been like friends, going into that second section was like way easier because we had like each other to like, and like I always knew John like was there for me and like I for John. So like it was always it was like a comfort and like a safe place to go. Like, okay, this is gonna be shit for part in a good way, but it's gonna be shit. Um, but we had each other to go, and we were like in almost we were in a lot of sections together. You guys were in, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:45

You guys did a you did um uh your Shakespeare together. Yeah, we did Troiless and Crest together. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, we did.

SPEAKER_02 13:55

Yeah, exactly. Like the whole the whole thing. Yeah, we really did. So we kind of moved, we kind of moved through drama school together. Yeah, if you think about him, which is really cool. And like, I mean we moved through life together. But it's all true, like still now, like I still look at John and I'm like, This isn't my boy. Like, he's just a little guy.

SPEAKER_01 14:12

He's just my guy. But isn't that so funny? If you were close with John at the time, you would know that he is like soft and like like a teddy. Whereas this is you wouldn't you wouldn't attest to this, but it was everyone else was like, bro, that frat boy's crazy. Yeah, but then smile. I didn't get that. And then obviously, yeah, of course you didn't, because like you're getting the vulnerable side that you have to be in inside uh the drama room, don't you? Everyone has to strip back at some point, and then so then I met him and I was like, You're not like anything I expected at all. This is what Chloe's been talking about. You're right. He's a mush. Yeah, but that's funny.

SPEAKER_05 14:48

It's so funny because then, like, you know, I I'll pose this to you. It's like the only time that we, I think, hung out was like when I was either throwing a party or we were at a party.

SPEAKER_04 14:57

At a party, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:58

Or we were out at like uh Churchill's or like Desmond's Tavern or something like that, and it was just like, yo, daddy!

SPEAKER_02 15:09

The boy thing of like not really knowing each other, then being like, We're about to purple!

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Hi, Johnny.

SPEAKER_05 15:16

Like one of the one of the best things was the Halloween party, and you came dressed as we gonna do that? Well, I'm not I'm not gonna name drop, but you were dressed as as someone who we all knew from the school in an administrative capacity, and you did the accent, you did the whole thing, and I was just like, this is one of the best performances I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_01 15:35

Yeah, it was the best thing I've Were you there for that? Yeah. I nearly I need I couldn't breathe.

SPEAKER_02 15:40

Yeah, that was so it was just too accurate, like the clipboard thing. Or was it was it the papers? What did you have? You had papers.

SPEAKER_04 15:47

Yeah, papers under my armpit. Yeah, that was it. Just being like, I gotta go.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

It was everything.

SPEAKER_04 15:54

It was someone told him that, oh, he dressed as you for Halloween, and he without like because we're from the same uh area in Massachusetts, he was like, This guy's my brother. Yeah, I was like, what? Yes, because I thought I was gonna get yelled at.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

But he would never, I think he'd find that majorly endearing. He had such a good, it's one of our teachers, like head of head of the cohort, maybe. Yeah. Just such a good bar. I had nothing bad to say about him. No, he was such a lovely guy. He was he he is still there, I think.

SPEAKER_02 16:22

So he's such a supportive teacher as well. He is, and he was such a lovely person to have as like the head of the school, which is nice. I love him.

SPEAKER_05 16:29

Like, if I was if I was to look at somebody and been like their producer, it was a good one.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Yeah, yeah, he knew he knew what it is. And it was just like I found those little BS. Like if you really hacked him, like you never have to address the room by being like, yo, it was just like, hey, hey, listen up. It was just like you just command the room with your papers on the bit like yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:49

Since he walked in. Speaking of producer, what was it like seeing John as a producer yesterday?

SPEAKER_02 16:54

Oh, it was so cool. You're such a good producer. Oh, and you're very much like everyone on here, but yeah, of course. That wasn't even you at full force, actually. No, I it was really mad. Like your collaboration is really fun as well to watch. I mean, I know you I know it's dressy, obviously, because you're doing a film. But no, it was so cool. And like I have you, yeah, we no. Have I been produced by you before? Other than podcasts, you didn't know. I haven't been like on set with you probably before. No, so it was no, exactly. So it was like so like you're so on it, you make sure everyone's like having fun, but also like five minutes, like make sure, hey, five minutes, like like collecting all of us together to be like we have to get it done.

SPEAKER_01 17:34

Yeah, Siddhartha, what did he say?

SPEAKER_00 17:36

He was just like screaming and we were all chatting, and he was like, What in the fucking fuck is going on? What in the fine finagling fuck is going on in here? And we're like, what? He's like, I've been calling you from the corridor. I need talent, I need talent, I need talent onset now.

SPEAKER_02 17:55

We were all there like, okay, dumb. And that's me in my little clicky heels, like, I'm coming.

SPEAKER_01 18:00

I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05 18:01

And then she passes me and she goes, if you ever yell at me again.

SPEAKER_01 18:04

No, I didn't.

SPEAKER_05 18:05

You'll be so quick off the set, you won't be feeling like oops.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

No, I think there's one thing I said I forget she's director. I fully said yesterday. I was itching like, can I have a word? And like, just for the guy, I was like, Can I have a word? And he was like, Oh my god. And I was like, if you tell me to pick up the pace and then say, let's do another take, I'm gonna beat you all my hands. Just truth, just truth. Pick one!

SPEAKER_05 18:25

If we want to do like a little industry thing, it's just like if I'm ever doing the first A Ding on set, I always want the pace to be like, you know, we've got a job to do, let's just go and shoot the stuff. But you know, if someone asks, if I look at the watch and I look at where we are in the schedule, and if you go, Oh, should we do another take? And I look at the watch and I want us to keep the pace, I go, Yeah, let's do another one. Because like for me, and I was I think I was mentioning this this at the the pub, it's like if I as a producer or first AD am like I want the talent to feel like they're feeling their way through something, just go and do it. Just keep doing it. Because if you keep doing it, you're gonna get there. And you're gonna end up finding something that if you thought you nailed it on take one, you look at it on take five and you go, actually, no, I really like take five because I'm I'm in it.

SPEAKER_01 19:13

Yeah. Yeah, we weren't allowed take fives. It was take three, that's it. Yeah, three was the three was the max.

SPEAKER_02 19:18

Yeah. But like, yeah, you probably will be grateful for those extra takes in places. I think so, for sure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:23

We also like really doled up. There's like a little moment at the end, we'll just stop this for a sec. But there was a there's a tiny little heart behind Chloe that someone had graffitied in the bathroom. And um, I was like, oh, that's great, like, and we're gonna use that, that will be the stall. And so at the end, we were like quick B-roll. I like got a pen and like vamped it up a little bit. Oh cute. And then I was like, okay, quickly, you didn't get it. And then I was like, right, detail wiped it off. Like, I am not getting in trouble for that. And also I detalled off a lot of it, so like what was there before is actually like more gone than the biggest. Oh, so you cleaned that the school cleaned that bathroom and I took photos to be like, it was not me. Not me. Because when the head teacher looks and goes, what a great is that graffiti? I'm like, I have a picture of this.

SPEAKER_02 20:08

It was not me. It was not me. It was a happy coincidence for me.

SPEAKER_05 20:11

Oh, how producer brain of you. That's brilliant.

SPEAKER_02 20:15

Brilliant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I do, I do dabble. I do dabble, do dabble.

SPEAKER_00 20:19

This fish got light to my hair.

SPEAKER_05 20:21

I have a question then, because me and Dan have talked about this. What was your impression of the two of you when you first met at drama school?

SPEAKER_01 20:28

We already had this loosely. I think we met like us two. Yeah. Yeah, because you had the lift experience, but I barely remember me going. That was so embarrassing. But I I because I didn't hear for you and I I didn't see what loads and loads of parties. So I was just like, oh, she's very to herself, she's very quiet. Yeah. And then um company was like a different gravy.

SPEAKER_02 20:47

It was more it was Henry Four for me.

unknown 20:49

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 20:50

Because I felt like I like got to like sitting, because I got to do two Shakespeare's and I was like, oh yeah, let's go. And so like coming into like your guys' like domain for that, I was like, oh wow, different section. This is so fun. And then seeing you in action, I was like, oh, and then like we started chatting a bit more there and then getting closer.

SPEAKER_01 21:05

Because I said, Are you singing in Welsh? And then we were, and yeah, I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_02 21:08

You were always the most like you were the hype girl. I mean, you always are, but like you were so like, what the fuck? Do it again.

SPEAKER_01 21:14

You're so hyped. I was awful. I was like, Chloe's rehearsing, can we be quiet? Oh my god. Now I was like feral for you. I can love that word today. Feral. I was like feral for um every time you sang. And I remember we we that was my favourite entrance to any play I've ever done, where I even my own, I'd walk out and Chloe's singing and the lights are going down and all the cast are walking through the side.

SPEAKER_02 21:37

Oh, it was so cool to do as well.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

Because you just sang, there was a spotlight on you. And I remember being like, that was that was the coolest entrance to a play. And I give credit to George Herzless.

SPEAKER_02 21:48

Yeah, that was his, yeah, no, his vision. No, don't. But no, he was so cool. And like I think from then on, we kind of just I think I feel like gravitated towards I think we just gravitated towards each other. Company. And like it was like why did Why didn't we have this before? It's so random, considering we're both from the UK. But obviously we were like not like we didn't hate each other, but we were just like not in each other's circle.

Like it was so beautifully tactically done just to be like they need to get shots of this, this, and this. And because how how bright it is, they had to swap. And so they were taking photos every time the two of them came back, there was photo footage that they were seeing of the photos they just took, and the reactions of them is they're like, oh my god!

Because you're Welsh, you must come here and be like, oh my god, that's so intense. I was talking about Geordie accents earlier because when they're really strong, it's like quite intense. It is. Um but sometimes they sound like Welsh accents, so I kind of think I'm just going at myself. Fine. But they do stress me out sometimes.

It's okay. Well, I would agree with that heavily. Mine is also um you can sometimes.

SPEAKER_05 36:58

Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 36:59

Um, what do you do sometimes? You hold for too long. And then when you when you when I finally go, hey, just like open and you're like, okay. But like I have to push you. Like with his hand? No, like emotional. So if people hold and hold and hold and hold and hold. And then I go, hey, you don't gotta hold no more. And then it's good. So like when we're in the middle of that, which also probably works with my patience and his holding. It's like, just tell me! And then he's like, okay, and I'm like, oh, thank you. Pick your clothes up. That doesn't happen anymore, you've got way better with that.

SPEAKER_05 37:32

SPEAKER_00 41:12

It is.

SPEAKER_01 41:13

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:16

That feels so good. Did you think Dick Sport and Good?

SPEAKER_02 41:19

Yeah. No. Oh, I love you, Dicks. I love you so much. Oh god. Oh my god. That makes me happy. I know. But it is hard to think of like, yeah, shop in the UK. Because I used to love like I love New Look. New Look is gone. I know. So how does it be a good one?

SPEAKER_04 41:41

How does it feel that like everybody out there says, I should do a podcast? Me and my friend were so funny, we should do a podcast. And you've now done it.

SPEAKER_01 41:52

Yeah, you're so right. It feels lovely. It feels lovely to know that people the compliments we get is amazing. And I remember having like a really bad week in like January or something. And Isabella just talking, she goes, Okay, I understand you're having a really rough time of it right now, but um I don't feel like you need to give up or anything like that. And you need to know that your podcast brings people a lot of joy. So you need to like don't let that stop. And you know when you're you're in such a bad headspace when you're listening, you go, Okay, I've actually logged that. I've logged that because I need to, I need to remember that because like you everything else, me and Isabelle always have this gag that if you're having a really bad day, um no matter what that person says, it's not gonna register, but you decide what you log, and so I love that to be like I need to tell Chloe that and I need to be reminded. We need to be reminded that this is a first season, like you have a lot to you don't make it until like slow runs, and it's about consistency. So I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_05 42:43

You also know what's crazy is that like my mom is an avid listener. Every single one does mine. She goes out on her walk, and the first thing she does is she clicks you guys on.

SPEAKER_01 42:56

She told me last week, she sent me a text because that's I was listening to the podcast. She was literally like she just sent a message.

SPEAKER_05 43:02

Sorry mom, you don't actually sound like that.

SPEAKER_01 43:04

She was like, um, I'm moving how the moving house. And she was like, I just put you and Chloe on, and it just like you've just entertained me packing up, and it just made my heart really happy. That's what people say about it though. And I also we have had our fair share being like, when you bring in the boys, I'm like, when we're ready, yeah. It's ours. But it would be lovely to have you two on it because I we do talk about you a fair bit, especially when we do our UK USA comparisons. Yeah. And that's one thing that was really niche about ours.

SPEAKER_02 43:29

It's our connection, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, obviously we're we're connected, but like this is like the thing that we have that's very unique. Unique circumstances.

SPEAKER_05 43:37

Well, it's crazy because it's like the four of us are transatlantic in two different ways.

SPEAKER_02 43:42

Yeah, it's so true. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:44

And we have the taste Is there anything that's like surprised you with it all?

SPEAKER_02 43:47

I I think it's like come like easy to us. Not easy, like isn't it? I can do this, but I feel like our like connection and our like banter is like very it is just like so it's like just hanging out with your bestie and. Just like putting it on like uh tape and then being like, oh, if other people want to enjoy, then great. But it's become something like creative that I look forward to every like two weeks when we come on tape. Um, but like I'm excited for like it to keep going, and I'm so proud of us to have like a whole season. Yes, like a whole season is crazy. Like we've been consistent with it. Like I think.

SPEAKER_01 44:22

And it wasn't a moment where one of us went, I'm really clever, I can't be fucked. I think it's never like a moment of it.

SPEAKER_02 44:27

We've both been really committed. We have and I think when we were busy too, especially you. Like our like both of us, like our like it shows like our work ethic as well. Like we're very much we said we were gonna do it and we did it. And I think that's a really like thing we should celebrate, like a big thing that we've like completed it. And um, yeah, it just also is an excuse to spend time with you. I know with all of us. But it's been it's been so much fun. And I'm excited for season two.

SPEAKER_01 44:50

Season two awaits a lot of stuff, so it's really like me and Chloe are like, let's have a meeting in February. Never happened. Yeah, we had a meeting in March, no, now it's like debunk coming meeting. Yes, here we go.

SPEAKER_05 45:00

So, I mean, let me ask, like, what's more what what are you guys excited about for season two, if you don't mind me asking?

SPEAKER_01 45:08

A whole discovery of what we want to do. Yeah, that's gonna be really fun. Just being like what worked, what didn't work, because it's not supposed to be like straightforward.

SPEAKER_02 45:16

Yeah, it's a work in progress, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 45:17

Work in progress, and then just seeing like we have so many options, which is fun because you don't follow everyone else's trajectory. Like everyone has their own podcast style. Um, one thing in my dream world would be like, I did say, in maybe like episode six, I was like, Chloe, imagine big fluffy white chairs, yeah. Like, not plugins for my yeah, yeah. So, like they're like the dreams of it, and then being able to just be like, do it midweek because we don't have to go to work.

SPEAKER_02 45:46

We just yeah, when it becomes work, that would be really cool. That would be really cool.

SPEAKER_01 45:50

Yeah, it's like the dreaming of it. It would just have to be you and I having to sit down, and I that is also this also goes out to every single person who has tuned in. Yeah, that is huge. Like every single person every week, there is a consistent bass, which is freaking nuts.

SPEAKER_02 46:05

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 46:05

And then you can tell, because we get stats through every week, um, who like is behind, and then they'll come up to me at work. I'm behind by three, but I intend on listening. It's just gorgeous. Everyone's so cute. And they're stressed if they haven't. They can listen to whatever one they want. It's okay. You can wait for the whole season to come out if you want. It's gorgeous. And they and people, and one Isabella told me as well this she listens to podcasts, and she only discovered this podcast after season three. So there's gorgeous things happening because you don't log into every single podcast, it was straight to the beginning.

SPEAKER_02 46:35

Yeah, there's some listeners that like might not even have started to listen. Yeah, so hi. Welcome, welcome, but it's Sean. But it's um, it's just so exciting. So I'm like really excited to like have another go at it and to keep it going. Because like we've got a lot more to talk about. Yeah, even this episode, I'm like, we could have talked about so much.

SPEAKER_05 46:54

But like it's continuous. I'm surprised that you guys didn't go back to books at any point. Like you kind of touched basically. Oh, we can.

SPEAKER_01 47:00

We were we can have a little shit on each other moment quickly.

SPEAKER_02 47:03

Yeah, I know, I know it was coming. John, why did you do this to me?

SPEAKER_01 47:07

So I for the book talkers who always like lock in here on the girlies. Okay, Chloe Chloe was in the middle of um Crescent City too. You had a very big Easter, so I caught you a lot of slack. Yeah. But she was supposed to read. I did. She was supposed to read Throne of Glass, which you did. You're kind of doing it. I started, I've started. But she couldn't not finish Crescent City, so I caught her some slack there. Thank you. But we have to continue because I was already halfway through Throne of Glass um with a book club. And now the book club and I are moving on to the third one. So um we're reading quite quickly.

SPEAKER_05 47:41

Which it, by the way, is nuts because it's like you guys started last like two weeks ago, yeah. You started it like 10 days ago. You already finished you finished two books and you're on to the third one.

SPEAKER_02 47:49

Yeah because it's become it's not a pace I can keep up with right now. Yeah, no, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 47:53

I'm so sorry. But also you will once the minute you finish Crescent City 3, which she's doing tonight, sorry, Tom. Yeah the rest of my day. You will quickly realize that you can binge because they're very small.

SPEAKER_02 48:03

That's what I mean. Because like Crescent City 3 is like almost 900 pages, so I'm ready to ready to go back to a 400 page book.

SPEAKER_01 48:09

And you realize that's the scary part, you realise just how quick you read those. Yeah. And I think because you don't travel on the train anymore, that's also a big thing.

SPEAKER_02 48:16

Yeah, it is because I'm driving everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 48:18

It's become the like, and I don't like the train. When you guys said you liked the trains, it was like funny or like you know, flawed, I'd agree with that. But like there's certain moments where like I cannot be on my phone. I do look around sometimes when I get on the train and I see everyone on their phone and I go, I can't, I actually can't, because it all the time you're you're you're always on. Yeah just take the time to be like with a book, sit down and read. And then when you go home, you realize it's Sarah J. Masse, you're like, I just stopped in the middle of a really intense chapter. We're gonna blitz. Yeah, we're gonna keep going. So um Chloe will catch up. I will. And when she she will.

SPEAKER_02 48:48

I will blaze through Throne of Glass, I feel like. Yeah, you're when I'm on it, it'll it'll go through. But like I just got, I mean, for those who know with Crescent City 3, like it's the book you want to read. You have to, you have to read it. Yeah, you have to kind of get into it.

SPEAKER_01 49:01

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 49:01

And like I just needed to continue. And I tried to do both, but I was like, I really need to finish Crescent City.

SPEAKER_01 49:08

And John's next read after he's finished his series is Crescent City Wall. Actually, he said he's excited for it. I know. It's a very good, it's a very good series.

SPEAKER_02 49:19

Danny?

SPEAKER_04 49:20

I'm gonna read Green Eggs and Ham.

SPEAKER_02 49:25

Love fantasy.

SPEAKER_05 49:27

No, Danny, honestly, Red Rising Dude.

SPEAKER_01 49:29

No, no, no, he's got actually to have to get ready. We can't play him on the right track.

SPEAKER_04 49:32

Dan's not gonna read any of these. I don't know why I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna read The Catcher in the Rye for the 17th time.

SPEAKER_00 49:39

No! Yeah, my big sip of champagne. No. But boys, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:45

Well done, ladies. How has it felt?

SPEAKER_00 49:47

Yeah, how has this felt?

SPEAKER_05 49:48

How has this felt? This has been a lot more fun than I anticipated. It was gonna be fun. Oh, good. Yeah, I mean, like when I'm sat in the chair and I'm I'm doing the recording and I'm checking to make sure that I'm actually recording and we don't have to come in here for a second time.

SPEAKER_01 50:03

Wait, do you want to talk about that once, John Boy?

SPEAKER_05 50:06

So John Boy had a little oopsie whoopsie. Um it was after work. I was tired. We came into the studio, and instead of plugging in the uh cord that goes straight to the receiver into my laptop for garage band, it actually went through an adapter. And the computer was just like, I don't think we're attached to this, and started recording with the microphone that's built into the laptop.

SPEAKER_01 50:33

And we recorded two.

SPEAKER_05 50:34

We recorded two of them. They were the best episodes.

SPEAKER_02 50:39

You'll never hear them.

SPEAKER_05 50:41

And then and then when we went to the edit, it you were just like, the sound sucks.

SPEAKER_01 50:46

It's like, what's going on?

SPEAKER_05 50:47

What the hell is going on here?

SPEAKER_01 50:48

And I was You felt awful to be fair. Well, yeah, of course. It's okay, like we'll figure it out.

SPEAKER_02 50:54

No, yeah. It's an easy mistake. Like we're still learning as well.

SPEAKER_01 50:56

But it wasn't like fourth, it was like the fourth one.

SPEAKER_02 50:58

Yeah, it was really early.

SPEAKER_05 51:01

It was by far, I think, the worst I've ever felt professionally in state.

SPEAKER_02 51:05

Oh no, John, there's no need. Because we had that the second run of it, and like we probably talked about things that we didn't even touch in the first one, and it was probably like a lot better. You would think about it. We had structure.

SPEAKER_05 51:15

From a proof from a producer standpoint, I did think that the re-recordings were a lot more lively than that.

SPEAKER_02 51:20

They were because we were exhausted for that one that first one. Yeah, we didn't.

SPEAKER_01 51:25

And this one was like, hey, that felt normal. Maybe we need to do these in mornings. And then it became mornings, actually.

SPEAKER_02 51:29

And now we've done, yeah. So it's it's it's lighter.

SPEAKER_01 51:32

Dad, and how has this been for you?

SPEAKER_04 51:34

It's been great.

SPEAKER_01 51:35

Yeah? You seem stressed.

SPEAKER_04 51:38

Worried. Yeah, yeah, it's been unreal. I just I'm just in awe of um of just the go-getter-ness of both of you and John. Like, just just the fact that you're like, we've been wanting to do this thing. And it's the famous joke is like, oh, everybody says they're gonna make a podcast. But it's like, no, you actually just like planned, you got the equipment, you found out what you needed to do to get the studio space, and you've been doing it every single week. And it's like, gosh darn, you guys are go-getters. I think like I think a go-getter is the best thing a person can be. You two are.

SPEAKER_02 52:11

Oh, DJ. I take back the clothes thing. You can leave your clothes on the floor.

SPEAKER_00 52:16

I was gonna anyway.

SPEAKER_01 52:18

No. Um but would you do it again if we dragged you on to season two?

SPEAKER_04 52:23

Uh we'll probably talk about like a change in rate, like maybe raise my pay. But yeah, yeah, yeah. No, of course, of course I'd love to.

SPEAKER_01 52:31

We already brought the champagne. One thing I do think as well, I have this, I I don't know if I it's uh something to do with me, but I have this real love for listening to Americans on a podcast. Oh yeah. Weird. Because maybe I know you can probably listen to British and be like Scouse. Scouse, yeah. But I just there's something about you ever listened to ASMR? Oh yeah. Okay, I'm a bit of ASMR, mate. Yeah. But if I if I if I listen to ASMR and it's from a British person, I'm like, cute, breathy. Americans, I'm like, no, you're this is so.

SPEAKER_02 53:02

Did you like the eating ones?

SPEAKER_01 53:04

No.

SPEAKER_02 53:04

Yeah, those that's that does me does me in.

SPEAKER_01 53:06

That's not for me. Because I'm not into I'm not No, I hate that.

SPEAKER_05 53:10

That's like the worst thing. If I'm ever out at a restaurant with somebody who I don't know and they're doing that, I immediately cannot stand them. And I want to leave their company. Yes, no, it's a it's a repetition. It's pet peeve number one. Besides, besides my brother's leaving the uh cap off the toothpaste, but that's Dragon job. Dragon. Hey. No, definitely, and I think and I think, you know, if we're gonna talk about pet peeves, it's like therapy now. No, I'm just gonna be able to do that. I'm just doing this, I'm just doing this to cover my bases because I know Tim and Chris sometimes listen to the podcast. Is that if their pet peeve with me is stealing the their charging cords and steal everything?

SPEAKER_01 53:52

But also, isn't it very interesting? I just realized this just now. He comes from um, you have three of you all together, two boys and then a and you, and then you've got two girls and you. Yeah, you might have the same amount of six.

SPEAKER_04 54:04

And then you both have one sibling.

SPEAKER_02 54:06

And you have a brother and I have a sister.

SPEAKER_04 54:09

We're all one big family. Tune in next season.

SPEAKER_02 54:14

One family. Thank you. That is wild, yeah. Maybe that's that's an episode. That's third episode. Let's talk about a siblings trash brandy.

SPEAKER_05 54:22

Prepare yourself. You know who's gonna love me mentioning that? Irene's gonna love that. She'll love it.

SPEAKER_01 54:26

Oh my boys on the pod, yeah. Oh my god, they're on the podcast! She's like, stop, stop talking to that.

SPEAKER_02 54:32

What you want to do, your mum? Nothing.

SPEAKER_01 54:36

Oh, she's so cute.

SPEAKER_04 54:39

I remember I used to do an impression at school, and like you and like all the boys used to be like, that's so over dramatic. Your numb, your mum's, that's so mean. And then she came and she was like, I brought cookies for us.

SPEAKER_00 54:50

And we're like, we're like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 54:52

It's so cool. That was so sweet. I love it so much.

SPEAKER_00 54:57

So, guys, well done, you made it. Yeah, thank you. Uh boys.

SPEAKER_01 55:03

I'm so proud. Um, grateful for you too. Guys, also to all our listeners, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It's been a really, really gorgeous, like, how many months? November all the way through now. So it's I can't believe we're signing off for season one. Oh my god! How do we do this? It's been it's been like five months. Yeah, it's had it five months. Yeah, that's crazy. Oh well, by the time this comes, I'll be yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it will be.

SPEAKER_05 55:25

That's incredible.

SPEAKER_01 55:26

It's amazing, and I'm so proud. No, I can't do it. November, December, January, February, March. And since then, oh it's six six six. And since then, we have managed to secure visas, yeah, do a podcast, be on plays, do movies, film movies, uh, and just live in the moment of everything. So thank you to everyone who listened. Or the a thousand downloads like three weeks ago. Yeah, so thank you. We've loved every minute of it, and we'll be back for season two.

SPEAKER_02 55:53

Yeah, please come back. We'll be here.

SPEAKER_01 55:56

We'll be here in this little studio.

SPEAKER_06 55:59

Are we all doing it? We all should do it. Ready? Okay, love you. Bye bye.
