Young Hollywood

Oh. You're good. I couldn't hear anything, so if you said anything, I just saw your facial expression. Which we definitely have on tape, so that's good.

Samantha Logan

Awesome. I love that for me. There was like a truck outside passing, it was like right on set. Filming it.

Young Hollywood

We'll just turn it into a meme. We got you. I'm just kidding. Oh man, off to a great start. Totally. Well, congrats on everything that's happening so far in All American.

Samantha Logan

Thank you.

Young Hollywood

You said you're filming till 1:00 AM last night.

Samantha Logan

Yes, almost 2:30, but um, our director that we're working with now, David is incredible. He shoots so fast and we love that for us. Yep.

Young Hollywood

So we're going to talk about your podcast today, but we also, of course, want to talk to you a little bit about All American. So we'll just tackle the All American side of things and then dive into the podcast.

Samantha Logan

Let's do it.

Young Hollywood

Okay, so for, you know, everybody wants to know, we interviewed Cody Christian. Okay. About we asked him the similar question. Okay. So, as a fan watching the show, as a fan, would do you think you would be Team Asher or Team Spencer?

Samantha Logan

Oh, why would you ask me that? As a fan.

Young Hollywood

He's he's like the same reaction, so.

Samantha Logan

Yeah, because how am I supposed to answer? I mean, listen, I'm going to go, I'm just going to go with the fans' vote, which I think is very been made very clear. So, let's just go with the fans want. Um, that's what I want, whatever they want.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Well, way to answer, way to get the sneaky way out. Team Asher's great too. Asher deserves all the love in the world. Yeah. Okay, so there's also a lot of talk about like the word end game is going around. Do you also, as a fan watching, what do you think the ultimate end game would be for Olivia? Like what would you want to happen for her?

Samantha Logan

Oh, what would I? Uh, well, um, that's a great question. I, um, I mean, ultimately, I think Spencer, since the very beginning, their relationship is like undeniable. You know, just from like the pilot episode, like you're the first person that even asks me those kinds of questions or sees me for who I really am and um, you know, I think their their chemistry is sort of undeniable. Um, and I think she needs to explore that. You know, we we've never really, they've never really gotten a chance to. So, I think that would be her first um, sort of journey with, yeah.

Young Hollywood

And every week people are like, oh my God, these episodes, these episodes, like so suspenseful and everything. Do you love just like kind of knowing what happens and like hearing people's reactions from week to week?

Samantha Logan

Yeah. I mean, yeah, because we we already know what happens. So, I'm just always excited to see what people are saying. And the greatest thing, honestly, is just going straight to the comment section because people are blowing it up and it's trending every week on Twitter. I'm like, yo, our fans are so loyal and so dedicated. Um, and yeah, I'm just, I love it. It's great.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Okay, so jumping over to the podcast, we got you. That is a really, really good idea. Like genuinely, like if I had that, I think when I was in high school or just in school in general, like that's How do you feel doing that? Because you're probably impacting a lot of people's lives.

Samantha Logan

Yeah. Um, well, I mean, we're definitely, and you know, it's a it's a startup. You know, we're we're kind of building it from the ground up and doing stuff like this just to get the word out there for anybody who might be looking for something like this is the goal right now. Um, and I'm very passionate about it. You know, to your point. I wish that I had um, sort of an outlet like this to go to.

Young Hollywood

Picture yourself, you know, back in school. If you came onto your podcast, what do you think you would ask to get advice about?

Samantha Logan

Um, I would being vulnerable. Um, I would definitely, I would talk about depression and anxiety. Um, I still deal with those things to this day. Um, I've obviously have been able to navigate it much better now that I'm just getting older. Um, but if I had sort of started that process and that conversation when I was younger, that would have been really great. Um, and so, yeah, it's it's really cool that kids are reaching out and gaining something from this and just means we're doing something right.

Young Hollywood

It's just cool as an actress that you're doing more than just, you know, your actual job. Like you're actually making an impact with what you do. So that's really cool.

Samantha Logan

Yeah. Well, you know, I've been super passionate about working with kids and the youth for a really long time. So when this opportunity came to me, um, I was like, yeah. And it also came to me in the middle of the pandemic. You know, I was sitting at home just waiting around, seeing if we were even going to shoot a season three. And um, my agent came to me with this opportunity. Um, you know, Halley, like I said, who's the creative mind all of this. They met back in high school, I think.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

Samantha Logan

And so she presented him with this opportunity and she was like, if you know anybody, we're looking for a host. And um, I was the first person that he thought of and I was like, oh, I said, that's so, that's you should be proud of that. You should be proud of that.

Young Hollywood

Yeah.

Samantha Logan

Well, thanks, man. Um, and I was like, heck yeah, I'll do that.

Young Hollywood

Okay, just a little game before we hop over to the IG live. So, it is basically combining All American with your podcast. So it's going to be basically advice. I'm going to list off a character in the show and you're going to like what advice you'd give them and then also them in real life.

Samantha Logan

Okay, I'll do my best.

Young Hollywood

You're going to kind of just like. It's on the podcast from much better job than I do. We can invite them on. Okay, so, advice, what advice would you give Asher in the show? Not Cody Christian, but Asher.

Samantha Logan

But Asher. Um, Chill out, man. It's all good. Um, and yeah, uh, you know, anything that you're dealing with with your dad is um, you know, uh, you know, it needs to be much more of a conversation and I'm here for you in any way that you need me to be. You know, it's okay to be vulnerable and it's okay to open up and and it's okay to ask for help when you need it because you're not alone and that's a tough situation that you're going through and you don't have to go to these other things to sort of get through all of that. Um, so yeah. Just it's all good. You're going to be good.

Young Hollywood

What advice would you give to Michael in real life? Real life. Real life. I don't know what he's going through. I don't know what he's into, but if you had to give him advice in real life based on what you personally know about him, what would you say?

Samantha Logan

I don't think I need to give Michael any advice, honestly. Like he's just happy go lucky. He's just happy to be here, you know. He's just along for the ride and um, I vibe off of his energy so much because he just he always brings a smile to my face. So, yeah.

Young Hollywood

And then finally, what advice would you give to Spencer in the show? Um,

Samantha Logan

Oh, that's a great question. Um, What advice would I give Spencer on the show? Um, uh, God, What advice would I give him? I feel like it's so interesting because I'm like, I feel like he's the one always giving me advice.

Young Hollywood

You're the one who needs help.

Samantha Logan

Yeah, it's like the total opposite. You know, my my character has, um, you know, he's really been there for my character. I know I'm supposed to be for me, but um, and even Daniel in real life, he's like such an incredible force. You know, he's he's so wise and so loving and caring, um, you know, he really carries the show on his back and he's doing such an incredible job. So, honestly, I I need the advice from him to tell you. Yeah, yeah.
