Every time an author reassures readers that the smut is skippable I sigh a disappointed sigh. This is not a reassurance. Why would anybody who likes smut want to read smut that was only included as an afterthought and has no impact on the narrative? Insulting. Just don't write it at all if you're not going to make it matter.
#on the one hand I understand that some people don’t want to read smut
Like 85% of tumblr users hate and loathe embarrassment based comedy with every fiber of their beings, but never in my life have I ever seen an author reassure their audience that the embarrassing scenes are skippable.
Lots of people dislike tragedy but never in my life have I ever seen an author reassure the audience that the death and grieving scenes are skippable.
Stop trying to pass off self-censorship as “accommodation.” Stop trying to pass off pandering as “inclusivity.”
Your audience can smell your fear, and it smells rancid.
A "professional" writer wrote in an introduction that 4 FOUR!! chapters with sex scenes could be skipped. The chapters after them would have short summaries about what happened in them. I felt that was so weird and denigrating, and I skipped buying such a censured book.
when you think about it teenagers of the next generation will never get to experience a cw show with 7+ seasons and 22 episodes per season. they will never know what it's like to be insanely obsessed with a mediocre show with mediocre writing and mediocre acting (with one really good actor carrying the show on their backs). they will never know the feeling of fighting weekly in the trenches for your ship only for the writers to screw you over. they will never be so increasingly disappointed by the worsening writing choices as the seasons progress and they will never know what it's like to watch the worst series finale after investing years into a show. and that is the biggest tragedy.
Imagining an unhinged argument Buck has with the 118 & Maddie because he adopts Theo but refuses to change his last name to Buckley. Everyone thinks that to be a real family you've got to have the same last name, but Buck wants him to keep that part of Conner.
(And also Buck doesn't even want to be a Buckley. When he and Tommy get married, he'll be Evan Kinard. When Theo graduates high school though, he puts his name down as Theo Riley-Kinard)
The 118 & Maddie all slowly realizing that everyone else in Buck's life calls him Evan--the secretaries at at Theo's school and the sensei at Theo's martial arts classes and their neighbors and Theo's grandmother on Kameron's side and the argument "why would everyone call you Buck then?" starts to fade out. By time they stop and consider it, they realize that Buck left a while ago, but Evan Kinard is a whole new person in a lot of ways.
Matt Cohen: I’ll stop talking now, ‘cause I know you guys are excited for our next two guests. Are we? Are we not excited? [Audience cheers] Are the people in the back excited? [Audience cheers] Are the people in the front excited? [Audience cheers] Fine. And with no further ado, I bring to you Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman! [Audience cheers]
Ryan Guzman: Had to do it [entering with a fake mustache]. Someone gave this to me, and so many people have been talking about my mustache lately and made me miss it so, yeah.
Oliver Stark: You have it.
RG: I know, but it’s not there really. I gotta shave all the other stuff.
OS: On stage, now, live.
RG: Bring a razor, let’s go [Audience cheers].
MC: Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to stay up here and take over this panel as much as possible, ‘cause I really like these fellas and I got to hang out with them a couple times over the last month or so. But you guys look like you have plenty of questions, so I will turn the stage over to you guys. Gentlemen, you know how it goes. If there’s a problem, just call me and I’ll throw my boot at somebody and we’ll handle that business.
OS: We sure will.
MC: Have fun, fellas.
OS: Thank you [Audience claps]. Hi, everybody. Wow, this is a big room.
RG: Woah, yeah. It keeps on going.
OS: Wave at the back. Let me see if I can see your hands.
RG: Hey, there we go!
OS: Alright, now wave in the middle.
RG: Are we doing a wave?
OS: That’s enthusiastic.
RG: They should have done the wave.
OS: Alright, yeah. Let’s do like a little wave-y thing. Alright, further back. Count them in. You got more rhythm.
RG: Three, two, one, go! Here we go. Oh, that’s nice! Right side is going a little stronger. Beautiful. Thank you, guys, for doing that.
OS: And one more… No, I’m joking.
Audience: You just gotta end it [Ryan and Oliver do the wave].
OS: Okay, should we answer some questions?
RG: Let’s do it.
Fan: Hello, how are you?
OS: Cool helmet.
RG: Second place winner.
F: Yes, I am! And I was being you, so rock. If Eddie Diaz and Buck, obviously, if they were participating in a drag show, what would their drag queen names be? [Audience cheers]
OS: [Smiles] Busty Buckley [Audience cheers].
RG: I feel like Di-Ass is pretty good, yeah [Audience cheers].
OS: Di-Ass! Yo, Busty Buckley and Di-Ass? Kill it [Ryan and Oliver high-five]. We get Season 11 immediately [Ryan laughs].
F: Alright, thank you.
OS, RG: Thank you.
Fan: Hi.
OS: Hi.
F: What is your favorite opening emergency and your least favorite and why?
RG: Favorite emergency or what?
OS: Opening emergency. Favorite opening emergency and least favorite opening emergency.
RG: To be honest, I liked the last episode. You fell right in the middle of the emergency and it was Aisha-
OS: Opening emergency [Audience laughs].
RG: Oh-Oh, like, opening to the season?
A: Opening scene.
RG: Opening scene?
OS: No, no, no, no. The big, the big disasters at the beginning of the season, right?
F: Yeah.
RG: Oh, big disasters, okay.
OS: I got you [Fan].
RG: She [Audience] was confused just like me. I wasn’t the only one. I would say I had fun the first time I was on-on the 9-1-1… So, the whole earthquake thing was-was really fun. Tsunami probably comes in close second. Least favorite…?
OS: That blimp shit that we did [Audience laughs].
RG: That’s the least favorite. Thank you for reminding me, yeah. What was that?
OS: Like, that was weird. Like, it didn’t work, did it? We can say that now. And it was kinda weird, awkward to film. Like, we had to go up that ladder and-
RG: Lasts for two seconds.
OS: Yeah.
RG: Yeah.
OS: Blimp, eh [thumbs down]. Yeah, yeah, tsunami, earthquake. I love the, of this season, the stuff we did in the subway. So, it wasn’t, like, the main one, but it was like a-a subsection of it, right? Like, any time we do water stuff, that was cool. Us in that thing just being pelted with water. You looked, like, smoldering. Like, what’s-what’s the word you had to keep on shouting? Bolus, was it that?
RG: That was Kenny.
OS: Bolus!
RG: Bolus!
OS: I don’t know even what that means.
RG: We need to look it up one day.
OS: We cut our leg [laughs]. We should probably have done that before. Thank you.
Fan: Hi. So, the, I know the storyline for 9-1-1 gets kinda, like, crazy sometimes, and all, like, the scripts. So, what do you think when you get the script? Like, the tsunami one had a lot of crazy stuff that, like…
RG: I think the craziest one for me was the bees [Audience laughs]. We’re doing a tornado full of what? But accompanied with the mustache, we made it work.
OS: Where’s the link between the mustache and the bees?
RG: I’m sure someone’s written, like, a five-page, like, thing on it. I know it, I know it. But that was the craziest part. I think the rest of them have been like “Okay, this makes sense. An earthquake in LA, yeah. Tsunami…? Yeah, I mean…”.
OS: It could happen.
RG: It could happen, yeah.
OS: I think once we, like, the tsunami was the first time where we did something where, well, “How will we do that? That’s too big.”. But then having pulled it off, now whenever I see them, I’m just excited for like “Wow, how are we gonna bring this to life?”. Because it’s fun for us, right? Like, we get to kinda really do the stuff. Like, we’re really in the water, we’re really in these buildings that are tipped over. And-And so, yeah, the-the-the bigger and the more ridiculous and bizarre it gets, the more fun we get to have in it.
F: Thank you.
Fan: Hi. So, my name is Jess. What defining scene, sorry, what scene would you say is, like, defining moment for your character?
OS: Well, that’s deep, I like that. Ryan first.
RG: [Laughs] I need some time.
OS: I guess, now, the death of Bobby Nash. Right? Like, I think if you were to, like, make a graph of Buck’s trajectory, like, that is such a huge event and that, like, altered who he becomes and, like, steps into different roles now and, you know, it feels like more of a mentor since. So, I think in terms of turning him into this new version of himself, that was such a catalyst. So, yeah, R.I.P. Bobby Nash.
RG: I’m not gonna mention the mustache again [Audience laughs].
OS: No, go on, talk about it.
RG: No, I think a defining moment was actually a moment between our characters when Eddie has kinda lost his-his whole unit, and he’s just in the worst place he’s ever been. And his best friend comes and has that conversation with him, allows him to work through these emotions. And I think it’s the first point where Eddie is actually able to, like, acknowledge his emotions and-and understand that he can’t be bottling this stuff in anymore. So, it was, it was a-a pivot point.
OS: Were you gonna say when you shaved the mustache?
RG: I was [Audience laughs]. Tried every bit of me to avoid that.
OS: I think that’s a good answer. I would have accepted it.
RG: Yeah?
OS: Yeah. Would you like to talk about it?
RG: Shave the mustache, yeah.
F: Thank you.
Fan: Hi, I’m Amanda. If your characters were Pop-Tarts, what flavor would they be?
OS: Wow, that’s deep [Audience laughs].
F: I ask hard-hitting questions.
OS: Raspberry.
RG: Raspberry… I’m gonna go strawberry.
OS: There’s no wrong answers. I mean, what is that?
RG: You found the only wrong answer.
OS: Yeah. No…? Well, I don’t even know other flavors they do.
A: Brown sugar. The wild berry one that tied in with the Spider-Man movie.
RG: Brown sugar, actually, yeah.
OS: [Raises hand] No, brown-brown sugar!
RG: It’s got cinnamon in it, doesn’t it?
A: Yeah.
F: Buck wouldn’t be the wild berry that tied in with the 2002 Spider-Man movie?
OS: Yes, he would. You’re right. And I was testing you to see if you knew what Pop-Tart we would be, and it’s that one. You’re right. Well done, Amanda. You’ve watched the show [Audience laughs].
Fan: Hi, I’m Amy. First things really quick, do you know that they’re calling your sperm donor baby a buckling? I don’t know, I thought it was adorable.
OS: I like it.
F: And then for the question, how do you think the dynamic of the households are gonna change now that you have Theo in the situation? ‘Cause you used to help out with Chris, like, your character. So, you think we’re gonna see that collaboration again?
OS: Yeah, I don’t think the dynamic will change all that much, you know? I think there are characters that have shown up for each other time and time again and I think they will continue to do that. And, genuinely, like, I’m really excited to see what those, what showing up for each other will look like going forward, you know, and who it will involve. And, you know, characters like, somebody brought this up to me, I think, at a previous conventions, and I spoke about it in some Meet & Greets today, like, that first meeting between Chris and Theo and what that will look like and how heartwarming that might be. And so, yeah, I’m really excited for those. I don’t, I don’t think it will change too many dynamics, but I’m looking forward to whatever they turn out to be and how they play out.
F: Thank you.
Fan: Hi, I’m Madison, I’m from Tennessee.
OS: Yeah.
F: So, since we’re in Nashville, which one of you is the better bull rider?
RG: [Raises his hand] [Audience laughs]
OS: Before… So, we did some bull riding in Nashville for the show. I don’t wanna make a fool of myself, I looked up some YouTube videos the night before I did.
RG: That’s right.
OS: And here’s what I’ve decided about bull riding. Do we have kids here? That’s just some bullshit, right? Because you come off when the guy decides that you come off. ‘Cause he, like, there was a time I was like “Yeah, I’m nailing this. I, oh, no, he’s throwing me off”. Like, you just, you’re on it until he does a quick change of direction. So, the question doesn’t exist. Nobody can be better or worse.
RG: Sounds like a loser to me [Audience laughs]. I am.
OS: Bring out the bull [Audience laughs]. We did, oh, sorry, don’t go anywhere [Fan]. Do you [Ryan] remember there was the stunt girl, I think she was Jessica’s, and she was, like, this was her thing.
RG: Yeah, yeah.
OS: And I asked her advice and she said the same stuff the YouTube videos said. Hold on with your thighs and the guy will throw you off when he throws you off.
RG: Did she say that?
OS: Thank you [Audience laughs].
Fan: Hi, my name’s Heather. Y’all probably my Top 3 friendship show, on the show, anyways. Well, on any show I watch.
RG: Who’s the other two?
OS: [Indistinguishable]
Fan: No, I mean on all shows I watch, I got a little nervous there. Anyways, what is the most emotional scene that you have filmed for each of you?
RG: Go ahead. I think yours is more recent, no?
OS: What is it? [Audience laughs]
RG: The whole drug thing that you just had.
OS: Oh, yeah. That. No, yeah, that was emotional. [Sighs] I don’t know, is that, is that the most emotional one…?
A: Derek!
OS: What did you call me?
RG: She said “Derek!”.
OS: Who the fuck is Derek? [Audience laughs]
RG: Who the fuck is Derek?
OS: I know who Derek is. [To Ryan] Derek was the-the son in Mother’s Boy that I was replacing.
RG: Oh, yeah.
OS: Watch the show.
RG, OS: [Indistinguishable]
RG: I didn’t read that part.
OS: Here’s a story, and I’m gonna do the, use the Bobby Nash card again.
A: Oh.
OS: Someone said “Oh”. And I hope it was like “Oh, he died”, not “Oh, is he talking about that again?” [Audience laughs]. So-So, the breakdown, right? He dies or dying and I leave and I take off my mask and have a little cry in the hallway. I was super nervous about that scene. Like, super, super nervous. You see, in general, like, I’m not a big emotional person like that, like, I’m not a crier… Eh. On-On screen. And it’s such a, like, big pivotal moment. I was like “What if I can’t do this? Like, what if I can’t nail it? What if it just looks dumb?”. So, I had so much pressure on that moment. And it was really, like, cathartic and liberating to then shoot it and be like “I’m feeling the stuff”. So, that was a really nice, like, in touch with the character of, like, real stuff coming to the surface. So-So that one probably sticks out as one of the most emotional.
RG: For me, it was something that touched a little too close to home. I-I had just lost my grandmother, and I hadn’t really cried other than at her funeral. And I think right after her funeral, maybe like a couple weeks later, I-I shot the scene where Abuela dies in front of me. And it was the first time I actually, like, really let go, and it was hard to kinda, like, bring it back in. So, that-that one was difficult, because it was just tears flowing, but you’re not feeling, like, you’re not, you don’t have a sad face. It’s just, it just kinda comes. So, that was the hardest one.
F: I’m sorry about your grandmother, and thank you, guys.
RG: Thank you. She’s in a better place.
OS: Thank you.
Fan: Hi, my name is Abdu. So, I asked this question to Kenny and Aisha earlier but, if your character died, knock on wood, we don’t want that to happen, but if your character died next season, what song would you want playing? Like, how they have Work Song for Bobby Nash’s death.
OS: That’s good. Oh, I have an answer! Wait, I don’t know what it’s called. You go first, let me look on my phone, hold on [Audience laughs].
RG: That was really quick.
F: Also, Oliver, I just wanna say I’m sorry about Arsenal losing.
RG: You wanna see him cry again? [Audience laughs]
F: No, I meant in a place of love.
OS: We’re having a nice time, what are you doing?
F: I meant it in a place of love. PSG gotta go.
RG: Yeah.
OS: I appreciate that. I’ll be right with you. I gotta look into my other phone.
A: Two phones?
RG: Did you bring out two phones?
OS: Answer the question…
RG: Maybe, like, Whatta Man, but sung like in a slow version [Audience laughs].
OS, RG: Whatta man, whatta man…
RG: You should sing it.
OS: I should. I will, one day. Oh, I didn’t know it’s called this. Ironic. [The song] It’s called Keeping Me Alive [Audience laughs], by a guy called Jonathan Roy. I like the acoustic version [Ryan signals Oliver to play the song].
A: Can you play it?
OS: I’m doing it [Audience laughs]. [Song starts playing] It ain’t that part that we’re playing, the song. Alright. So, I know this song because when I was shooting Buck Begins, there’s a line in it and it’s like something, it literally says, there’s a line like “This fire is the only thing keeping me alive”. And I wanted it to play in, like, the Buck Begins when I’m like “Ah!” [mimics struggling]. And… Don’t take a photo of that [Audience laughs]. And it’s been in my head as, like, a Buck song ever since. So, if you strike me down, maybe you’re here keeping me alive.
RG: [Pretends to hit Oliver with the microphone] [Audience laughs]
F: Alright. Thank you, guys.
OS: Thank you. What did Kenny and Aisha say?
F: Oh, okay. Aisha said something Madonna, I can’t, or from Beyoncé, I can’t remember. Kenny said Vogue by Madonna [Audience laughs].
OS: I would watch that.
F: Me too.
Fan: Hi, I’m Amanda and my question is, if you could take the entire 9-1-1 cast and put them into a show from the 80’s or 90’s, any show, what show would it be and why? And do not say Friends.
OS: Hey, there, what would you say? That’s a good question for you.
RG: Oh, man, I gotta think of 80’s shows.
OS: Or 90’s.
RG: Or 90’s?
OS: Yeah.
RG: Buffy The Vampire Slayer [laughs] [Audience cheers]. It could work.
OS: Yeah, that’s nice. that’s crazy, I was gonna say the same thing, so my answer [Ryan laughs]. We-We both think-
RG: You would be Buffy.
OS: Yeah.
F: Thank you.
Fan: Hello, my name is Katie, I’m the one that drove twelve hours to be here.
RG: From Ontario, right?
F: Yeah.
RG: That’s right.
F: My question is for both of you. What is one interesting fact about you that anyone might not know?
RG: Should we tell them?
OS: You know the things they’re gonna do with that.
RG: [Laughs] Oh, true. I didn’t think about that. Oh, man. Something interesting… I feel like we’re open books, I don’t know.
OS: No, we gotta give her something, she drove from Canada.
RG: Well, think of something.
OS: Buffy The Vampire Slayer [Audience laughs]. An interesting fact…
RG: Interesting fact…
OS: My, this is not an interesting fact, it’s just a-a fact.
F: That’s okay.
OS: I’ve had two cats in my life, but- [Audience laughs].
RG: Starting off strong.
OS: Both of them have been unfortunately mauled by wild animals [Audience gasps]. Yeah, it’s not funny anymore, is it? [Audience laughs] The first one living in London, outside cat is, in England is like the, nobody has indoor cats, and it was later in life and a fox got it. And then my cat Norman here, unfortunately, he used to be an indoor cat and then when I moved to a, like, gated property, I let him be an outdoor car and we had a very… This is not the answer you wanted [Audience laughs]. [Inaudible] happy for years and then eventually was unfortunately killed by coyotes. So, yeah, maybe, I don’t know. Keep your cats indoors.
RG: Wow, how do I follow that? I’m gonna stay on the animals. At one point in time, I did have a small farm in my backyard in LA and don’t do that [Audience laughs]. Yeah, I had goats, I had chickens, I had bunnies, I had all the things and my neighbors hated me. So, it didn’t, it only lasted for maybe, like, three, four months, but, yeah.
OS: I forgot you had those.
RG: Yeah, they climb, goats, I don’t know, they can climb on things. So, I would show up and they’d be on my car [Audience laughs].
F: Yeah, I got six cats and two geckos, so…
RG: But no goats.
OS: Keep them inside.
F: Thank you.
Fan: Hi. First, can you say hi to my friend Carolina? She couldn’t make it today.
RG: What was her name?
F: Carolina.
RG, OS: [Wave] Hi, Carolina.
F: Thank you so much. And if any celebrity could play your character on 9-1-1, who would you want it to be?
RG: Brad Pitt [Audience laughs]. Benicio del Toro.
OS: Ah.
RG: Yeah. You could be Brad Pitt.
OS: I could be Brad Pitt [laughs]. Chris Evans, maybe? I think he’d be a good Buck.
RG: Chris Evans would be a good Buck, yeah.
OS: Oh, my God, what if they recast us for Season 10?
RG: Don’t tell Brad Pitt.
OS: With Benicio del Toro and Chris Evans. I think we’re alright.
RG: No one will watch that.
F: Thank you.
RG, OS: Thank you.
Fan: My question is, if your character was to be in a cartoon, what cartoon would you want it to be in?
OS: Powerpuff Girls [Audience cheers].
RG: That’s so crazy, ‘cause I wanna say Dexter’s Laboratory [Audience cheers]. They were on right after another, like, yeah. Did you actually watch Powerpuff Girls?
OS: Fuck yeah!
RG: Who’s your favorite one?
OS: Bubbles [Audience cheers]. It’s just the first one that came to mind. I can’t think of the other- Bubbles… What are the other ones? Butterfly? No.
A: Blossom, Buttercup!
OS: Blossom. And Buttercup. Oh, yeah, I knew there was a Butter in there somewhere.
RG: He loved that show.
OS: It’s been, it’s been a while.
F: Thank you.
RG, OS: Thank you.
Fan: Hi, guys, my name’s Riley. What is your favorite, like, core memory from set?
RG: So many, actually. We have a lot of fun on set and in between shooting [The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme song starts playing] [Audience laughs]. That was great.
OS: Mine is actually, the one that comes to mind is from Season 1. The dark days, as they’re known [Ryan sighs].
RG: Go ahead.
OS: No. Are-Are you sure?
RG: Yeah, no. Act like I’m not here.
OS: No, I don’t need to be. Alright. So, we were shooting in a trash truck. A garbage truck, right? And they got this garbage truck, it’s, like, sanitized. They say it was sanitized, who knows? We’re literally crawling around in the back of it. And they take all the tracking, trash out, or maybe there was some bags that we were laying on. It was me, Kenny and Pete. I think Aisha was sensible and didn’t spend more time than necessary in there. And, like, we found these magnets, and obviously we’re in a metal truck. And I don’t know why, we just were in hysterics, like, laughing, just throwing these magnets so casually against the wall, just like a TIK. And we were still, you know, Season 1, early days, and it was so dumb. Like, what’s funny about that? Nothing. But we had the time of our lives for some reason. And, like, look, I’m twenty-six at the time. Like, they’re in their 40’s and 50’s, they gotta grow up. Like, I’m allowed to find that funny. But we just bonded over, like, we just couldn’t stop laughing for some reason. And that’s always one that sticks out in my mind.
RG: We, for a while now, we’re playing this game called Botticelli. I don’t know if anybody has hear that, but it’s a silly little, like, name game. And for whatever reason, we played it for almost like a full season, didn’t we? [Oliver nods] Maybe even longer. But we got so caught up in it that, like, we were looking forward to it every single time they called cut, and we’d be thinking of things, and then the crew would get involved. So, it was like, one of these, like, expanding games and-
OS: It was like the, remember it was, like, Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana…? And then we go into that big-
RG: Oh, you talking about Aisha doing the Little Mermaid too? That kinda stuff?
OS: Yeah, that was Aisha.
Aisha Hinds: [Yelling from backstage] Hey, hey, hey! [Audience laughs]
OS: Okay, what are you doing?
RG: It was horrible.
OS: Go take some photos!.
RG: Don’t play with Aisha Hinds.
OS: Look, alright, so, we’re playing this card. So, the game is, you say the first letter. I hope you’re [Aisha] still back there.
RG: Listen to this.
OS: You say the first letter of a name, right? So, if-if I’ve chosen Ryan, I would say R, and then it’s just Yes or No questions to get to who they are. We’ve played months and months and it’s always real people. And our friend back there does T, and we just cannot get it, and she’s done The Little Mermaid. Like, that’s-that’s cheating, right?
RG: That’s what it is, yeah, yeah.
OS: Thank you. And then we got into about somebody like Hannah or Miley Cyrus, and then it became this big thing about, like, is she better known as Miley Cyrus, the pop star-
RG: Or Hannah Montana.
OS: No, I’m not gonna do a vocal. She’s better known as an actress, right? Like, from her Hannah Montana day.
A: Yeah.
OS: Alright, thank you. I hope you’re still back there.
RG: So, yeah, that.
AH: [Indistinguishable] for anybody who say that [Everyone laughs].
F: Thank you so much.
RG: Thank you.
OS: Thank you. Sorry.
RG: You brought back repressed trauma [Audience laughs].
Fan: Hi, my name is James.
OS: Hi, James.
F: And have you ever dis-disagreed with how your character handled a situation? And what would you have done differently?
RG: Yeah, I agreed with the-the death of Bobby Nash [Audience laughs]. Yeah, the way Eddie handled it, I-I would have expanded a little bit more, at least, like, I don’t know, done something different for that. But that was the one thing that just didn’t feel right, to be honest, yeah. [Oliver points at Ryan] What?
OS: That’s interesting.
RG: What do you mean?
OS: Like, what do you mean?
RG: Just the fact that, like, he was in Texas and living his own life, and-and when he found out, it was through the phone and it was, like, two seconds of, like, remorse, and I feel like that should have just been bled out a little bit more for-for Eddie. And knowing his past, being an angry individual, like, some kind of, like, reoccurrence of, like, what he’s been going through throughout the past couple seasons. So, I mean, it’s a huge character, so it just didn’t seem right for the character to not wanna just, like, explode or do something much more grander.
F: Thank you.
OS: I don’t know if there are, like, things I disagree with like that, in a sense of like, I don’t know. It’s, like, they write the character, they can, but there are things that maybe I think I wish he hadn’t have been that way, I don’t think it’s wrong for the character but, like, for example, like, when Eddie was moving to Texas and Buck was kinda bratty about it. It’s like, he’s doing a thing that works for him and his, and his kid. But I don’t think that’s wrong for the character. I do think that’s who Buck is. For me, as a somewhat sane person, I’m like- [Audience laughs]. Why is that? I’m like “Yeah, that is not how you should handle your friend doing something that is right for his life”.
RG: Oh, yeah. And when they replaced you too. I don’t think Eddie should have been so jovial about this new guy.
OS: Oh, is Sam-
RG: Yeah.
OS: Lead of Obsession.
RG: Obsession. Yeah, crazy. Have you not seen it?
OS: A hundred million dollars.
RG: Yeah, it’s crazy.
OS: That’s amazing.
RG: Yeah, maybe they should’ve replaced you [Audience laughs].
OS: I laughed and then I realized what you said [Audience laughs]. And then I cried.
Fan: Hi, guys. My question is, how would you describe yourselves as an ice cream flavor? And it can be plant-based, for Oliver.
OS: Brown butter. Brown-Brown sugar! Yeah, brown sugar. As an ice cream flavor… I don’t wanna say raspberry.
RG: Rocky Road or something. Yeah, I mean, that describes Eddie.
OS: How so [laughs]?
RG: The title.
OS: [Laughs] Seriously, I think that describes Eddie. Rocky Road.
RG: It’s got chunks of stuff [Audience laughs].
OS: You do got chunks of stuff [laughs].
RG: I don’t know. It’s-It’s all over the place, yeah. I think, I think I was just thinking about the title, the Rocky Road. It’s just been a rocky road for Eddie.
OS: Oh, yeah, okay.
RG: Yeah.
OS: I wanna say Neapolitan. Like, there’s a little bit of something for everybody, you know? Sometimes it’s a little bit strawberry, sometimes a little bit vanilla, sometimes a little bit chocolate [Audience laughs].
F: Sometimes you swirl them together.
OS: Yeah, he does.
F: Thanks, guys.
Fan: Hi, my name is Rebecca. I was wondering, if you ever did a crossover with The Rookie or High Potential, which-which one would you choose and why?
RG: Rookie [Audience cheers].
OS: Yeah. Yeah, in the last few weeks, I’ve met a ton of actors and actresses from The Rookie. And like, they’re super cool, I think we’d have a blast over there. I’ve had somebody, somebody recently said to me that I would be buried in a barrel with Lucy [Audience laughs]. And I was like “Alright, sure, yeah”. And they were like “But she’s with Tim”, and I was like “We’re buried in a barrel, we’re not falling in love. She can be with Tim”. But, yeah, I think we’d have a good time. Melissa, we met her at [Disney] Upfronts.
F: Thank you.
A: [Indistinguishable]
OS: What?
A: You remembered it from Dream It [Convention]?
OS: It was a week ago [Audience laughs].
A: Remember yesterday?
OS: Oh, yeah, I remember. Hi.
Fan: Hi, guys, I’m Leah. First of all, I just wanna say, could you say hi to Cora and Haley? They could not make it.
RG, OS: Cora [Wave].
F: And Haley.
RG: Hi, Haley.
OS: Where are you?
F: Well, one is in Texas and the other one’s in Indiana. So, they both had work.
OS: That ain’t very far. She [points at the audience] came from Canada.
F: I know, right?
OS: There’s a girl here who flew in from Paris. Sorry, we’re just [indistinguishable].
F: No, yeah, you’re so right. They should have come with me, it’s-it’s on them. This is for both of you. For your characters and yourself, if you body swapped with each other, what’s the first thing you would do? [Everyone laughs]
OS: I’d probably dance in my underwear [Audience laughs]. Yeah, no, genuinely. That’s what I would do, I would dance around. Wow, it’s all so smooth [laughs, gets up, trips over a bottle and sits back down] [Ryan laughs]. See, that’s why I’m doing that. Alright, bye.
RG: I don’t know what I would do in your body. That’s crazy-
OS: You should be so lucky. [Indistinguishable] [Laughs].
RG: [Laughs] That’s crazy. Oh, man. Talk about clips. I don’t know. ‘Cause the first thing that I think of was, like, your first, like, season, and you were just slutting around [Audience laughs]. So, I don’t know. Maybe be a slut.
F: Thank you, guys.
OS: Thanks.
Fan: From any TV show or movie, what would your dream-
OS: Wait, wait. Sorry, what?
F: What?
OS: No, I, sorry. I was still somewhere else.
F: From any TV show or movie, what would your dream blunt rotation be? Like, any characters. Or your, and your nightmare blunt rotation?
RG: Dream blunt rotation from any movie?
F: Yeah.
RG: Okay. [Oliver whispers] Make up, make believe. Yeah. My immediate thought would be Cheech and Chong. But I also like the Seth Rogan, just-
OS: I was thinking, like, Pineapple Express or… What’s the other one? With the baby. Knocked Up.
OS: Yeah, playing ping-pong. Yeah, playing ping-pongs.
RG: Yeah. Oh, that actually could be pretty good too. Stephen Se-, what’s his name? Seagull somebody…
A: Jason Seagull.
RG: Jason Seagull! There it is.
OS: Steven Seagal.
RG: Steven Seagal!
RG, OS: [Indistinguishable]
OS: Oh, nightmare blunt rotation [laughs].
RG: Yeah.
OS: Fate.
RG: Yeah. I think [thumbs up]. I don’t know.
OS: Or you tell us.
F: Did you answer both?
OS: Yeah, we said-
F: Okay.
RG: Yeah, I would do it with Chimney.
OS: Yeah, we said Steven Seagal would be our nightmare one. Maybe, like, Conor McGregor. Like, he strikes me as the type where, like, you’re having a good time, and then it’s like “Oh, wait, are we serious now? Are you trying to fight me?”.
RG: I don’t know if he’s doing weed though.
OS: Yeah, that’s what I mean. Is it a nightmare?
RG: Yeah. [Ryan and Oliver turn around] Everybody! [Audience cheers] [Inaudible] The man, the myth, the legend!
OS: Gavin, Gavin McHugh!
Gavin enters the stage
RG: Hang on, buddy. Get him right in between us. Yeah!
OS: [Is handed a microphone] Two microphones.
RG: Show stealer. [Gavin sits down] Dad took us in there.
OS: Do our best. Here, this is your microphone, so you can speak to the people.
RG: Don’t say the rude things we told you [Audience laughs].
Gavin McHugh: Okay.
OS: [Tries to hand a microphone to Gavin] Okay, I’ll hold it.
GM: Okay.
OS: Hello?
RG: Next question.
Fan: What’s your favorite part about Buck’s kidnapping in Season 9?
GM: Okay, they wanna get into the serious. So what, so what does, what do, what does she mean?
OS: She said, what-what’s this favorite part about the kidnapping episode? You have one?
GM: Oh, I remember when Eddie walked into the house and he’s, like, I think “What are you doing here?”. [Ryan whispers] Oh, he’s-
RG: The one where he [Oliver] gets, he gets stolen by some crazy old lady.
OS: Did you not watch my episode?
GM: No!
RG: [Inaudible] super cool in it, just letting you know.
OS: Yeah, you’ll like it.
GM: Wait, which episode are you talking about?
OS: You know, when we were on a road trip and we had a crash.
GM: Thirteen.
RG: Yeah. Yeah!
OS: Yes, thirteen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A: Yeah!
GM: Oh, what’s my favorite part?
RG, OS: Yeah.
OS: You know, mine was, mine was when I’m like “I’m Derek, I’m Derek, I’m Derek”, when she’s prodding me with the cattle prod. That was my favorite part, ‘cause it was really dark, and I wasn’t sure if it would be too dark for network TV. That was my favorite part.
GM: I really don’t pay close attention [Audience and Ryan laugh].
RG: I love you, dude.
OS: Welcome to our life [Laughs].
RG: I think my favorite part was the driving sequence, like, just singing and having fun, throwing cheese balls at each other.
OS: Do you remember how good we were at throwing cheese balls? [Ryan nods] So, they had to ask us to miss.
RG: Yeah.
OS: ‘Cause we might wanna use a miss. And we just couldn’t miss.
F: Thank you.
RG, OS: Thank you.
GM: Of course.
Fan: Hello. I was gonna ask, I’m giving Oliver’s question to Gavin, but Gavin, what’s your favorite memory from set?
GM: Oh… A lot of people, technically, have asked me this question a lot of times.
OS: Be original [Audience laughs].
F: I didn’t know you were coming out!
GM: And I think my favorite memory was when I first worked on set with Ryan. He would always read me books [Audience coos]. Yeah, he would always read me books. My-My mom’s like “Do you remember that memory?”, and I’m like “No” [Everyone laughs].
RG, OS: She said “Your favorite memory”.
RG: (Laughs] I love that.
GM: Yeah [Ryan laughs].
RG: It’s my favorite memory that he forgot.
F: And I was just gonna ask Ryan if he can say who he thinks called when he found out about Bobby.
RG: Who I think called?
F: Or if you know.
RG: I do know, yes. It was this guy’s [Oliver] sister. Yeah, it was Maddie. Was, you know, any Maddie scene they [mimics scissors cutting] [Audience laughs].
OS: Oh, wait, you actually shot that?
RG: No, but I guess it was technically supposed to be Maddie’s voice on the other end. And, yeah. That scene actually lasted a lot longer than what was shown, so… Yeah, it was Maddie.
F: They need to release it.
GM: Well, again, again I didn’t pay close attention [Audience laughs].
F: Thank you.
RG: Thank you.
OS: What do you got?
Fan: Hi, my name’s Valentina and my question is, if you could be any character from the 118 for one episode, who would you be and why?
GM: What? Oh, I did not know this question was coming to me, just so you know.
OS: I thought I passed this guy, ‘cause we are in the 118. So, I figured…
GM: I would be Ryan, typically [Ryan celebrates].
RG: [Indistinguishable]
OS: And why?
GM: Because he’s always so funny, he cra-, he cracks up jokes and I’m like-
RG: God, I gotta bring you around more often [hugs Gavin]. I love you so much.
GM: Cracks up jokes, and-and I just think they’re so funny. Yeah, yeah.
OS: I would not be Hen, ‘cause she got that medical dialogue.
GM: Oh! You know she can hear you [Audience and Ryan laugh].
OS: No! No, it’s [indistinguishable] a compliment, and she nails it. I’m saying “I don’t wanna have to deal with it”. I would struggle. Don’t get me in trouble. Don’t come out here and get me in trouble. It would be difficult. Like, I-I really have sympathy for them having to do all the medical jargon. So, maybe I’ll be, like, Ravi. I’d look pretty. Take a blood pressure.
A: You are pretty!
OS: Thank you.
F: What about you, Ryan?
RG: Chimney. I think I’d be Chimney. I don’t know why, I think I just wanna be different right now. But… What did you say?
A: You’d finally get scenes with Maddie.
RG: Oh, good call. Yes. Chimney, so I can actually work with Maddie.
F: Thank you.
RG: Thank you.
Fan: Hi, my name is Jackson and my question was, how did you guys film the tsunami scene?
OS: Gavin, you remember when we shot that?
GM: Oh, yeah.
OS: Remember-Remember shooting that?
GM: That was way back in Season 3, and actually I do remember. I was hanging over Buck’s shoulders and I did not stop laughing [Audience laughs].
OS: It was fun, right?
GM: It was fun.
OS: So-
GM: And we got to ride the truck ride. The funny thing is, Buck was too tall to ride under the rides so, but he, but it’s so funny, because he rode, he rode the shark ride with me even though he’s too tall.
OS: The rule breaker.
RG: You remember where you shot that, buddy?
GM: Oh, yeah. I remember that was in Mexico.
OS: Yeah, we went to Mexico. And you remember the big…? So, they had these big water tanks, remember?
GM: Wotah, yeah [Audience and Ryan laugh].
OS: What?
GM: Wotah. Wotah. They had these big wotah.
RG: This might be my new favorite show right here [Audience laughs].
GM: No!
OS: I see how it is, I see. And these big wotah tanks, they meet the ocean-
GM: Oliver, Oliver.
OS: Yeah?
GM: You don’t wanna be messing around with me, ‘cause, you know- [Audience laughs].
RG: Woah, woah, woah, woah [Lowers Gavin’s microphone] [Oliver laughs]. Keep it PG. He already knows. He already knows not to mess with you, yeah.
OS: Did you want to tell him how we, how we, you want to answer Jack’s question? So, we didn’t, we’re in the water tanks, weren’t we? And they met the ocean.
GM: Oh, yeah.
OS: So, when you’re in the water tanks, it looks like you’re just in the ocean, because the edge of them joins up with the ocean. So, they rebuilt the pier, the Santa Monica pier and the thing, and then they threw us down there-
GM: And then Buck saved my life.
OS: And you couldn’t stop laughing.
RG: Fun fact, that’s the same place they shot the Titanic, the movie Titanic, so…
OS: So, they built those water tanks, yeah, for Titanic.
F: Thank you. Have a great weekend.
RG: You too.
OS: Thank you, you too, buddy.
Fan: Hello again, my name is Quinn. So, we know a lot of the fandom ships Buck and Eddie, and my question is, if you guys were the writers and you had to make Buddie go canon, how would you do it?
OS: She said “If you had to make Buddie go canon-
RG: How would you do it, Gav?
GM: Sorry, I didn’t quite catch the question.
RG: Explain it [Oliver].
OS: Tell him, tell him the question, Ryan.
RG: So, if you had to make Oliver’s character, Buck, and my character, your dad- [Audience laughs]
GM: Yeah.
RG: Be boyfriends-
GM: Oh, yeah. Okay, okay.
RG: How would you do it?
OS: Keep going, keep going.
RG: How would you do it? What’s the story you’d bring us into?
GM: Oh, you know, this is kind of a tough question here, ‘cause… How would I do it?
OS: I think that’s part of the difficulty, right? There’s, there would be a lot of anticipation for it, right? I think some people are interested in that story, and so there would be a lot of questions on how to make that come around.
GM: Yeah.
OS: Ryan, what do you got?
RG: Don’t you do that. I see what you’re doing. If I had to do it, I don’t know, maybe like a… We’ve always played around with the idea of doing like a telenovela-type episode. So, something like that. It integrates, like, Eddie Diaz loves watching telenovelas, we’ve already established that and everything. So, maybe some-something in that nature.
A: What does that mean?
RG: What does that mean?
OS: I would have-
RG: Super, super dramatic.
OS: It’s raining.
RG: Yeah, yeah. What?
OS: It’s raining.
RG: “Buck, no, aquí no” [Audience laughs].
OS: “Why didn’t you write me? I wrote you every day”.
RG: Yeah, you’ll be speaking Spanish in this one. Sorry, buddy.
OS: Well, sí.
RG: [Laughs] Sí.
OS: I think, you know, I would do as well, I would do… I’d probably have you realize and then I’d have you run away from it. And I’d be like “Why are you being weird? Why don’t you talk to me? I wrote you every day” [Audience laughs]. I think that’s what I got, maybe.
F: Thank you.
GM: Oh, my God.
OS: Yeah, wow. That was, like-
RG: This guy [Gavin] is still buffering, so we’ll get back to you [Audience laughs].
Fan: Hello, my name is Matthew.
RG, GM: Hello.
F: I was wondering if you could say hi to Cara and Gracie for me.
RG: What up, Cara? What up, Gracie?
OS: Where are you?
GM: Oh, is that your new favorite question right now? Where are you? [Audience laughs]
RG: They love each other, they do.
GM: Thank you, thank you.
F: Anyway, my question is, what do you think your character’s, like, guilty pleasure/binging show to watch after they get home from shift?
GM: You’re gonna have to take this one, Ryan [Everyone laughs]. ‘Cause I, typically, again, don’t really pay much attention [Oliver laughs].
RG: Yeah. We’re starting to get the theme, buddy [Oliver laughs].
GM: Are you good? Are you good?
F: Or, like, for Christopher, what is, like, what is his favorite video game to play?
OS: I-I think, I think for Buck, I’m just throwing on some sports. Like, I think it’s kind of how I feel when I get back from a, like, heavy day of work. I’m like “I don’t wanna, like, dive into something heavy. Just put something on, it becomes background noise”. So, this is not my option of choice, but I feel like Buck’s, like, watching a baseball or something.
RG: Yeah.
OS: Which-
RG: I-I feel like Eddie is, again, going on with the telenovela thing. Maybe, like, popping in and being, like, The Real Housewives of Atlanta or something [Audience laughs]. I don’t know.
GM: The Real Housewives? Why would you…?
RG: It’s Eddie, not me, buddy.
OS: [Inaudible], Ryan.
GM: Oh, okay, okay.
RG: Yeah. What would you be watching or what-what would you be playing?
OS: Yeah, when Chris gets back from school, what’s he gonna do?
RG: Sesame Street [Audience laughs].
GM: Well, you know, you know, Chris always has, Christopher always has homework assignments from his teacher, so his dad makes him do it, because, even though he doesn’t wanna do it. But he… What’s the favorite video?
RG: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
GM: Oh.
RG: Skinner Max.
GM: To be honest- [Oliver laughs]. No, I actually have an answer for this question. So, to be honest-
RG: Don’t lie to us.
GM: I think, I think Christopher’s favorite video game is the one, the one where-where Buck is talking to, where Buck is talking to Christopher and Eddie and they’re playing-
RG: Oh, the fighting game?
OS: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
GM: Yeah, yeah. And I said “No mercy”.
RG: It’s like [inaudible].
OS: It’s fighting games.
RG: Yeah. Okay.
OS: Thank you, Matthew.
F: Thank you.
RG, GM: Thank you.
GM: And then you lost and I won [Audience laughs].
RG: Eh, I’ll run it back. I think I won.
GM: Okay. Okay.
RG: I think you won the first one. Anyway, next question.
GM: Okay.
Fan: I’ve been watching your show with my daughter since she was probably way too young to be watching.
GM: No way.
F: But I think the tsunami arc was the most, like, tense and stressful for us, because we didn’t really know what was happening. What was the most stressful on set to film, to go through? Most dramatic.
OS: You know, one of the most physically demanding ones was actually the earthquake. Do you remember, like, doing all that stuff? Because, so-so, they built these huge sets, right, that could tip over. And it was really hard, like, traveling across these hallways and stuff and, like, trying to keep your balance and, like, carry stuff. And I had the-the Ali character, you know, trying to support her. Like, and it was the first time, I think, we- Oh, no! I change my answer [Audience laughs]. The plane in Season 1.
GM: Oh.
OS: Yeah, they built this lake and flew in this plane. Obviously, that’s how you get planes places [Audience laughs]. And put it in the middle of this lake. And we shot that across nights, and it was the coldest week of the year. And they would ferry us out to the plane, and as it’s in the middle of this lake that they had dug, and then they take the ferry away. So, we were just stuck out there. It was so cold, and it was, like, the first… Me, Pete and Aisha are the ones on the thing, and we had this one scarf that we found and we would, like, stow up in the thing, and we just stand in a three little, like, triangle, like, right here [gets up and exemplifies], and we’d wrap it around all three of our heads and just be like “Alright, we’re ready for the next take. Action”. You know? So, yeah, that was probably one of the most, like, physically traumatic ones and, like, set the tone for “Oh, this show could be, like, tough on you”. But it was cool and, to be honest, it was totally worth it in the end.
F: Got it. Thank you.
GM: And-And can it be from any season?
RG: Any season.
GM: My stressful part of the show is-is Season 9. I always, I always, Season 9, episode 11, I mean, I hate to see Eddie going through stuff with Abigail and… Oh, yeah.
RG: Okay.
GM: And-
RG: Stressed you out?
GM: Yeah, that stresses me out. Imagine if I had to, just imagine if I had to talk, just imagine if I were the one going into the kitchen and talking with her. Well, thank goodness, I wasn’t, so [Audience laughs].
OS: Thank you.
Fan: Hi, I’m Carrie and I was just wondering if there’s ever been scenes that you watched cast members film that you’re ma-, that you’re like “Man, I wish I got to do that instead of them”?
OS: You know that scene where you [Ryan] got to smash up your bedroom? I’d love to do a scene like that.
RG: Oh, yeah, that was fun.
OS: Like, that would be really fun to me. Like, one of those, I always think that when I see those-those scenes in movies of people, like, destroying TVs and smashing everything. It’s, like, a rage room. Yeah, something like that would be cool. I don’t know why Buck would ever be doing that, but, you know.
GM: Yeah, just don’t smash anyone into the...
RG: I think [laughs], your-your storyline where you [Oliver] almost died and you, like, came out of your body and, like, were talking to yourself.
OS: I did die.
RG: Well, you did die. That-That kind of thing, that-that scene, super, super cool, yeah. I would love to do that.
OS: That-That was interesting, doing that. Actually, being the one side and then going over, being the other side.
RG: Yeah. Did you do it, like, tennis ball kind of thing or what?
OS: No, I had Skyler, who’s my stand up on the show. He would dress up as me, and so I do the scenes with him. And then I, then we’d swap clothes and go to do the scene again.
RG: Yeah, that seemed fun.
OS: That was cool. Any scene that you [Gavin] would wanna do, that somebody else has had on the show that you can think of?
GM: Oh, any scene, okay. And it can be from any of the-
RG: Any.
OS: Any, any of the other characters, right.
GM: [Sighs] Let’s try to think about this. I-I mean, just thinking about what Bobby went through with Athena. Like-
RG: You’d wanna do that? You’d wanna tap into Bobby and Athena?
GM: Yeah. If Bobby was still alive [Audience coos].
RG: They-They always do that [Audience laughs].
OS: [Inaudible] anytime. It happens every time. Watch. If Bobby was still alive [Audience coos].
RG: Bobby. Here we go. Wanna try it?
GM: What?
RG: [Indistinguishable]
GM: No, no.
RG: Okay. So, you’d wanna be Bobby at some point in time with Athena. Who wouldn’t? [Audience laughs]
RG, OS: Thank you.
Fan: Hi. I wanted to ask what your guys’ favorite colors are.
OS: Brown sugar [Audience laughs].
GM: What?
RG: Your favorite color. What’s your favorite color?
GM: Me, personally, I like the color… I mean, they always change from point of view to point of view, but I’d say my favorite color is…
RG: The suspense is killing us [Audience laughs].
OS: Don’t worry, there’s no wrong answer.
RG: Yeah.
GM: My favorite two colors are green and blue.
RG, OS: Alright.
OS: You know, at a convention, somebody at once asked me to guess your favorite color. And you know what I guessed? I guessed red.
GM: Oliver, have you ever played a game where it’s, like, you’re in water and-and-and-and if you guessed the wrong color, you get dunked in the water?
OS: So I would have just been dumped, yeah. I like a nice-
GM: Wet.
OS: Anyway, he’s already answered [laughs]. You also-
RG: Mine’s really easy. I’ve always said brown.
OS: Brown.
RG: Yeah.
OS: You’re always wearing a brown, yeah.
GM: Well-Well, I’m assuming your [Ryan] favorite color is red, because-
OS: No, it’s brown [laughs].
RG: No, it’s brow.
GM: Oh, no.
Matt tries to enter the stage and is collectively booed
OS: We gotta go into speed mode, we gotta go into speed mode. I like a nice dark green. Great. Thank you. What do you got? Go, go, go.
Fan: Okay. What do you guys do to kind of get out of the mindset of your character, since you guys play him for so long? During hiatuses or even at the end of the day?
RG: Sleep.
OS: Yeah, like, it’s fun while we’re there and then go home and, like, real life takes over. Like, I-I know that’s not, but there’s not much of an answer, I don’t think. It’s just like, that was work, this is… Now I gotta scoop up dog poop.
RG: It used to be smoke with Kenny, but not anymore [Audience laughs].
GM: No…!
RG: [Indistinguishable] [covers Gavin’s ears].
OS: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes?
Fan: Hi.
OS: Hi.
F: If you guys could bring in a supernatural element, like, werewolves-
OS: Could you put your mic a little bit closer to you? I’m sorry.
F: Hi. If you could bring in a supernatural element, what would it be? Like, vampires, werewolves…?
OS: Oh… We would be able to fly to emergencies. Like “Oh, no, this has happened”, “Alright, 118, SHH”. That’s a flying voice.
RG: Yeah, each person could have a superpower.
OS: Does that count as a supernatural element? Not really, no?
F: Yeah. I mean, yeah.
OS: Thanks.
RG: I feel like if each person had their own, like, thing about elements, it’d be cool too. Like, one could, one could do fire, one could do lightning, one could do, like, all these-
OS: Fire?
GM: Fi-ah!
OS: But we’re firefighters.
RG: Fair. I don’t know.
OS: That was a cool question. Thank you.
RG: And they’re leaving us.
OS: Oh…
A: We are forced to!
Fan: Last question, I guess.
OS: I guess make it a good one.
F: Well, I was gonna ask y’all what, out of the three of y’all scenes together, what are y’all’s favorite scenes you’ve filmed together?
RG: That’s a good one.
OS: That is a nice one, yeah.
GM: Oh, I’m gonna let Oliver go first.
OS: Oh, thanks so much.
GM: You’re welcome, buddy [pats Oliver’s shoulder] [Audience and Oliver laugh]. You’re welcome.
OS: May-Maybe the skateboard scene way back in the day, where we brought a skateboard and we were… Do you remember that? When we were all riding through the park? We were, like, guiding that big frame and you were on the skateboard.
GM: No [Audience laughs].
OS: Okay, great. Meaningful to me, but [shrugs].
GM: I actually take that back, I do remember that. That was Season 3, episode 11. And then there was an extra scene where-
OS: A minute ago you didn’t remember it.
GM: 11 or 12, I can’t remember. But there was a scene where Eddie, Christopher and Carla are sitting on-
OS: The question was about Buck [Audience laughs]. The three of us. You cut me out. No, you can say the one with Carla. It’s all good.
GM: So, the one with Carla [Audience laughs]. Eddie, Christopher and Carla were sitting at the dining table and-and Eddie, I-I-I guess, I-I guess it was my, I-I guess it was my idea to get on the skateboard, which I should never have done, but-
RG: You had a good time.
GM: Yeah. Well-Well, it-it’s different when an-another kid, older, pushes a-a-
RG: Yeah. How rude.
GM: A-A kid with CP on a skateboard, when-when-when everybody knows that he-he’s gonna fall off. Like-Like…
RG: My favorite scenes of us together though, bud, are the ones where we put popcorn or licorice in front of this guy [Gavin], ‘cause he turns into, like, a garbage disposal-
OS: Woah, he eats…!
RG: Shoveling it into his mouth.
OS: Remember when we had the macaroons on the table? Was it macaroons, macarons?
RG: Yeah.
OS: Remember that one recently?
RG: Oh, yeah. I’m smacking on your hand, but you kept on eating them. Yeah.
OS: Oh, yeah.
RG: He loves his sweets. So, I love him, watching him just devour things.
GM: So does my sister [Audience laughs].
RG: [Looks back] [Inaudible]
RG, OS: Thank you.
F: Thank you.
RG: There he [Matt] is [Audience boos].
OS: Oh, don’t boo him. We love him.
RG: Give it up for Matt [Audience cheers].
MC: Guys, make some damn noise for Gavin McHugh, Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman! [Audience cheers]
Ryan, Oliver and Gavin start to leave the stage
A song starts playing
RG: So sad.
OS: This is the song that I died! This is my death song. My death song. I don’t know why I got so excited. You can imagine it right now [pretends to die]. [Ryan pretends to strangle Oliver] Wait-Wait for the drop and you’ll be like “Oh, yeah, Buck could die to this”. Eddie’s crying [Ryan pretends to cry]. Maybe Pete comes back and it’s, like, we reunite in the afterlife.
RG: I can see it now. Yeah, yeah, I can see.
OS: And the, like… I got nothing.
RG: Mic drop [leaves his microphone on the chair].
OS: Buck is dead. Wait, you gotta take this [microphone] with you. Buck could die to this song, right?

I think it would do people a lot of good, both mentally and societally, if they started thinking of at least some of their actions not as good or bad, or moral or not, or fun or not, but as whether or not they’re the behavior of someone who lives in a society.
On Friday, I got a notification that I had a package. My apartment has package lockers that FedEx/UPS/USPS/DHL/etc. deliver int and when they register a package to me, I get a code emailed/texted to me that I can use to pop the locker open.
I didn’t remember getting a package, but that happens sometimes. I preorder a lot of things and Bookshop doesn’t always let you know when they’ve finally shipped something, or a friend surprises me, or whatever. So I put some clothes and shoes on and went over to the leasing office building to get the package.
It was not for me. FedEx is gonna FedEx.
So I picked it up out of the locker and went to the leasing office staff to hand it to them. They were kind of closed for lunch, so I was contemplating what to do if they weren’t in. It had the address. I could walk over there and deliver it maybe?
‘Cause see. A lot of people apparently just shut the locker and are done with it. But if I did that...how would this person know they had a package or where it was? How would anyone get the package back out of the locker, now that the system registered it as retrieved? They don’t have the code, and the code is expired anyway.
I could just leave it in the locker. Or take it out of the locker and dump it to the side where it could be pilfered; the exact function the package lockers exist to prevent. It’s not my package. Not my problem.
But it costs me a tiny bit of inconvenience and time to place it in the hands of and appropriate custodian and save a bunch of other people a lot of inconvenience and time. I live in a society. Society is designed to save everyone across the society as much time and effort as possible cumulatively.
Sure, it’s easier and faster to just shove your shopping cart out of the way and pull out. Not your problem. You don’t need the cart anymore. Except now the cart is blocking other people’s cars and other parking spots and can ram into cars and people and some poor worker is going to have to go track it down. You have saved yourself a tiny amount of time and inconvenience and in doing so wasted everyone around you’s time and convenience.
Sure, you could put your neighbor’s mail from a government agency with an URGENT stamp in your mailbox and mark it “NOT AT THIS ADDRESS.” Or you could. Just. Pop it in their mailbox or slip it under their door (I’ve been having mail problems recently okay. Give the USPS more money).
You don’t have to wait an extra 5 seconds to hold the door for someone just behind you. But. Like. Come on, man, really? (Unless you're entering a secured area with restricted access, because that causes a separate cache of problems)
Weighing how much time and effort something is going to cost you compared to how much time and effort it will save everyone else around you cumulatively is...well...pro-social way to think. There are obviously always going to be exceptions and a balance to things, especially if the cost to you is much, much higher proportionally.
We live in a society. We live in many societies.
You can leave your dishes all around your house. But whoever has to do the dishes later (even if it’s you!) is then going to have to remember or know this happened, figure out where they all are, pick them up, deal with any spills/etc. that incurred, and return them to the kitchen and then was them. Was that really worth just putting them in the kitchen earlier? Maybe. But probably not.
“But what do I get out of that?” Firstly, you’re a tarpit. Secondly, you get all of the time and energy everyone around you has saved you by also being a functioning member of a society.
Societies work because we’re all contributing so the burned is distributed, just the way people can walk over a bed of nails but not an individual nail. We all take up a small part of people’s burdens that aren’t necessarily ours so we all have better lives.
Consider: how pro-social is your behavior? Sometimes pro-social behavior is a huge undertaking for massive gains elsewhere. But so much of the time it takes an extra 30 seconds, an extra minute.
And what little pro-social tasks can you tally up lately to feel proud and accomplished of yourself? It’s good for you. Try it out.
For the people thinking the cost of doing the right thing is too high as it doesn't benefit them NOW. What about the future? Chances are high that the person receiving the package at their door will also do this for others when it happens in the future. Those people will also pay it forward. At some point in the future it will be your package code that gets send to the wrong person. What would you prefer: getting the code or the package; or having it get lost/stolen? What if it's something you can't afford to miss at that moment? Urgent? Expensive? One of a kind? If you're egocentric, be egocentric and think of your future self.
it's just really insane to me how much abby and tommy changed buck's life by breaking up. they just really both saved him at different points and changed his whole self concept. they're the most important people to his relationship history and it all starts with them together and tommy breaking abby's heart.
and then if you think about it, tommy.... tommy is the single most important person in buck's dating history because he broke up with abby at such a crazy point in her life which is why such a great woman took a chance on such a mess as buck.
he broke up with Abby -> Buck has his first stable relationship that will forever shape his love life from that point forward.
he saved Bobby -> Buck and Eddie were hired and the 118 we know became possible (and Buck had a surrogate father that helped him become the man he is today), Athena found love again and Harry became a firefighter.
he saved Eddie -> Chris didn't become an orphan (and that's about it 🤣)
he met Buck -> unlocked Buck's bisexuality (and accepted him for who he is), reshaping his love live from that point forward (he hasn't felt anything as real since Tommy) and Buck learned how to bake 😅
he saved Chim -> he wouldn't be the new captain, so a total stranger would have taken Bobby's place. Maddie would be a single mother with two very small children, with a possible risk of having another postpartum depression.
he touched so many characters' lives, with so many ramifications!! it's insane actually.
"he saved Eddie -> Chris didn't become an orphan (and that's about it 🤣)"
This should be spread wide and loud to the b*bs. Particularly, the ones that bully actors. Without Tommy (and Lou) there wouldn't be any Eddie and a chance for the ship they crave.

In some countries, "American" breakfast food like pancakes, waffles, grilled cheese etc are only eaten for dinner. Breakfast here is bread, cold cuts or sweet relishes, lunch is meat, vegetables and some kind of starch, dinner is everything small and hot, like those "breakfast" foods mentioned earlier.
I would really love a 5 facts au about Buck and Tommy on tumblr. Idk what they are doing here but they're here.
what on earth? okay, sure.
Tommy's a Livejournal early adopter. He switched from keeping a paper diary to LJ when his friend Kerrie (goth_shoes) showed him the website one day during typing class their junior year. It's nice not having to hide his diary inside his box spring anymore! He's clicking around one day and ends up on a page devoted to Due South fanfic. This intrigues him. He keeps his LJ through his deployment (posts about the army are flist-only) and he keeps his LJ through his years at the 118 (posts about Gerrard are also flist-only). He dabbles in fic here and there. His works aren't the most well-written, but they are good, and the other people in his fandoms really like how deeply focused his porn scenes are. "The sex scenes that youwantapilot writes are so realistic you might actually think a gay man wrote them," one review notes.
After strikethrough he's annoyed enough that he follows Kerrie and his fandom friends to the new blogging site everyone's talking about. Tumblr is weird and he's a little old for a lot of the humor and he's not going to read this homestuck bullshit everyone's talking about but he finds his people and his url isn't taken so here he stays. Eventually Kerrie dips out, maybe after the porn ban, but most of his fandom friends stick around. He has a few viral posts from the early days that still go around every so often. He's a hardline app-hater; he stays logged in on mobile in the browser. He's old school. Sue him.
Buck is recovering from getting crushed by a ladder truck and scrolling reddit one day when he sees a post on r/all from a subreddit called--I guess this is, what, 2019? it's fucking r/tumblrinasinaction, of course. "Wow, that's funny," he says to himself, ignoring the 900+ reddit comments underneath it, and he types "tumblr dot com" into his browser. Setting up an account is easy enough. He checks in every so often over the next couple years. Then covid hits, and suddenly tumblr's his escape from the other dicks sleeping in his apartment.
Eventually he gets a post about some dumb firefighter show on his dashboard. Gifsets of two of the firefighters kissing. "Woah!" he says. He doesn't know why, but he's getting a little horny just looking at it. It's been a while since he had any action. It turns out he has a Photoshop license from something he did years ago, and it turns out gifmaking is kind of fun, and it turns out he really likes this firefighter show. Even though they broke up the two dudes, Chuck and Ronnie. He's so bummed out about the fictional breakup--and his own real breakup not too long ago--that he goes into the tags looking for... anything, he thinks. That's when he stumbles on fanfic.
youwantapilot is so, so good at writing, Buck thinks, tears in his eyes, after finishing his first 60k angst-with-a-happy-ending fix it fic. He decides to show his appreciation the only way he knows how: with a gifset.
youwantapilot is also really, really nice. They end up exchanging messages and then chatting nonstop for hours that night, and then hours the next morning, and then Buck has to go to work and they're still talking on and off between calls. He keeps clicking around youwantapilot's tumblr looking for any identifying information but there is none. He asks youwantapilot their name. youwantapilot won't tell him. Sorry, youwantapilot says. I'm just really private. at least tell me your pronouns Buck says desperately, because he wants to be respectful when he's thinking about this person nonstop day in and day out. youwantapilot does give him that. Phew!
Meanwhile, the cruise rescue happens. Boy meets boy. Boy gets jealous about boy. Boy makes a bad interference at a pickup basketball game while trying to impress boy. Other boy comes over to his apartment and shocks him senseless by kissing him. Wow... what happened? This is just like a fanfiction, Buck thinks, rubbing his still-tingling lips.
As his relationship with Tommy progresses he sort of stops talking to youwantapilot. He kind of just stops going on tumblr altogether for a few months! Real life is just so exciting right now.
Breakup. Devastation. Tommy leaves. Buck's left standing in his kitchen staring at the door for what feels like hours. He opens his phone and pulls up youwantapilot's AO3, and curls up in bed and cries while re-reading that one 60k fic that started it all, and then goes to youwantapilot's blog for the first time in months.
youwantapilot posted an hour ago: "got my heart absolutely annihilated by a guy i was falling in love with this evening. need some fic to take the edge off. any recs?" comment from bald-feuilly: "oh shit. the one from work?" comment from hotshotinthedark: "pilot told you a personal fact??" comment from bradtorrancesnosejob: "next thing you're going to tell me is that pilot's actually a pilot."
sorry to hear about your breakup, Buck shakily types into the dormant chat. i just went through a painful one myself. i was reading your fic to make myself feel better. would it help if you told me about him?
couldn't hurt, youwantapilot types back. he's a sweet guy. so friendly. incredibly hot. really smart, even if his friends and family don't think so. over-eager. impulsive. i told him i didn't think he was ready a while ago and he proved me wrong. but the other night... he stops typing for a while, then starts again. it was our anniversary and he was just distracted the whole time. there was a freaky coincidence with a shared ex. i don't know, i was letting him take the lead and i think i let him lead me right into traffic.
Buck's going to be sick. what a dick, he types. that's not true, pilot responds immediately. he just doesn't know. he was careless with your heart, Buck says. not careless, pilot says. clumsy. i could've done better, too.
"God, Tommy," Buck says to himself. He gets up from his bed, pulls his pants back on, and stumbles out into the LA night. He makes it to Tommy's house in what feels like record time and only when he jumps out of his Jeep onto the asphalt with his bare feet does he realize he forgot to put on shoes. He beats a refrain on Tommy's front door, and Tommy pulls it open, and almost shuts it in his face but Buck holds out his phone. "I was careless," Buck says, pressing his phone into Tommy's hand. His screen's open to their tumblr chat. He knows it's Tommy. It has to be. Tommy's laptop is open on the couch and that familiar blue screen is shining back at him. "I shouldn't have been. I went too fast, I didn't tell you what I was thinking, I'm acting just like Ronnie did in the breakup episode on Hotshots. And I know you know what I'm talking about."
Tommy looks at his phone, and then up at Buck, and then back down at his phone, and then back up at Buck. Then he sighs and pulls the door open wider. "Come in," he says. "I was just working on some Chuck/Ronnie angst fic."
"You can tell me all about it as soon as we've figured our relationship out," Buck tells him. He hopes Tommy has ice cream in his freezer. God knows they both need it.
Imagine being such a terrible showrunner that your ACTOR has to say 'hey could we stop baiting for five minutes and give proper attention to this important topical storyline instead?'

this is the funniest fucking thing i’ve ever read. he finally said the quiet part out loud, he doesn’t like all of his scenes being about someone else.
Setting aside any positive or negative nationalistic feelings, and ignoring the subject matter of the lyrics, do you think your country's anthem is a good song?
