Hey, you guys, good to see you.

Guest

Good to see you.

Guest

How are you?

Guest

Good.

Guest

It's my actual parents.

Guest

I just remember when I was like, I want to be a part of the Lodge family.

Guest

You can fit in.

Guest

How does this look?

Guest

Perfect.

Young Hollywood

Young Hollywood fans. This is the first time to have you guys together.

Guest

I know.

Guest

How are you doing?

Guest

Are you all right?

Cole Sprouse

Oh, I don't know. I'm a little stressed. It's a lot of beauty to take in at one time. I'm staring into your beautiful green eyes. Everyone just take a minute. Just take a minute to look in them.

Guest

What's going on, girls? How are you?

Guest

Great.

Guest

Third Comic Con for me. And this is my first. So this is pretty crazy.

Young Hollywood

You guys planned the matching purple eyeliner.

Guest

Did it until we saw each other this morning. And then we had a total freak out.

Guest

We had a freak out. We're like, oh my god, why are we so like on the same wavelength always. But I like this. The shirt.

Guest

Thanks.

Guest

Totally inspired.

Guest

Oh, is it? Really? It is.

Young Hollywood

Hey Charles. Good to see you again.

Guest

It's good to be seen. It's good to be seen.

Young Hollywood

All right, let's jump into Riverdale. Let's jump. So, I've been asking people about tattoos. If you could get a tattoo to represent the show on yourself, what would you get and where would you put it?

Guest

And I've actually thought about this before. I think I would just honestly get the word like Betty, the name Betty in cursive somewhere, really tiny.

Cole Sprouse

I think I'd get the serpent tattoo.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

Cole Sprouse

Yeah. I mean, I think there's no better tattoo that that's also part of the the sort of comic lore and the show's lore and it's just totally fitting. I'd probably get it right there. Yep. Classic spot. Classic spot. Uh or just a a small Jughead crown right under my left breast or right above my lower my lower back, like right above my ass.

Guest

I think because I'm a bulldog, I'd get the bulldog uh emblem probably on my shoulder.

Guest

If I could get a tattoo to represent this show, I'd get a hammer because I'm a construction worker. Right? Like a like a Thor hammer or something like that. I don't know where I'd put it though. I'll think about that and I'll get back to you.

Guest

I think for Hermione, honestly it might be like a little glass of red wine. She's always got to have the wine.

Young Hollywood

I like that answer. So maybe a little glass of red wine.

Guest

I get a big big R like just like on my chest there. Big R. Should I just have to get it on?

Guest

Yeah.

Guest

What'd you say? A snake? You thought I was going to get your initials?

Guest

No, I was going to say, where would you get it?

Guest

Yeah. Where would you get it?

Guest

Right below the belly button with an arrow pointing down.

Guest

Oh my god. You see that's so inappropriate. You're such a perp.

Guest

Behind my ear, a snake behind my ear or maybe here. No, behind my ear realistically. I would probably not get a tattoo. I'm too indecisive. Um but if I was to get them, it'd either be a little spider or a little cherries somewhere. Tiny tiny and cute. Like little cherries with a little pointing down.

Guest

behind the ear. You're such a perv. Oh my god. What's wrong with you? Stop. Get your head out of the gutter.

Guest

I I mean, I initially pitched for it to be I have a scar right down the middle that it it would be a snake wrapped around it. I mean, I like the idea of the a snake wrapped around a thorny rose. I'm kind of thinking thigh. That's sexy. I really like that.

Guest

You're not kind of thinking it. Every time we talk about it, you're like I want it right here.

Guest

Well, you I have to pick a place that you haven't seen it on Alice yet. Right. And then we have to see it on Alice. And I wonder how.

Guest

Like just two lines as a cat ear and a little tail right there.

Guest

Oh, that's cute. That's really cute. I like that.

Guest

Or like help on your forehead. SOS. Help on. We we need therapy.

Young Hollywood

If you could have anything from Riverdale, the Riverdale world in your real world, what would you take?

Guest

People die there.

Guest

People die here too, girl.

Guest

Yeah, but not as often.

Guest

Pops. I like pops. I want a diner like that. A neighborhood diner that everyone goes to that you've had like your entire life. I I'd want to pops.

Cole Sprouse

Wow, probably the lack of time they actually spend in school. It seems, you know, it's like you never well, that's all shows. You don't actually see them like in their classes too much. And I'm like, that must be a great life. Um, but I'm not even in school anymore, so I guess that's irrelevant.

Guest

I would love to take um home Hiram's study. With a like with a perpetual roaring fire. uh cigars, um, you know, six foot tall picture of your daughter. Beautiful like leather, dark. Yeah, I would take that.

Guest

I don't know. I would take Archie's car.

Guest

Yeah, that's a good one.

Guest

I would take that. I like that.

Guest

The diner is always open. And it feels like such a safe, comfortable place. That's true. It's I don't know. It's it's like a blanket. Pops is is that's what I wish I had like next to me at all points.

Guest

The student lounge. I like the student lounge. I'll just hang out in there if we're not shooting in there.

Guest

By yourself. You're just in there.

Guest

Yeah, like I'll I'll hang out in there because it's super comfy. The couches are super comfy. It is really comfortable. I never had a student lounge like growing up. I never had a foosball or pinball machine. But you know what doesn't make sense? In our student lounge, there's a quiet room, but there's like a computer in there and all kind of stuff. It's like all the things that are not quiet are in the quiet room.

Guest

I like retro stuff too.
