Okay, so look what I have, I'm a gift that I got sent to me, but I'm definitely, I'm using these right here that you're filming season five right now.
You're still filming. It's Aaron to how are you seeing fans react this season compared to others?
I think that people are still finding enjoyment, people are still enjoying the show. People are um continuously being shocked and we have more shocking things to come. I can't say what of course, but I think people will definitely um I guess you ask, what are people thinking about it now, people, Oh, here's what it is. People are shocked about Jordan and Leila, that's probably the biggest takeaway I can give you.
Who is your top five? Who would you have top five NFL players on all American to play against you guys?
Oh, if we could get the goat, the goat, Of course, yeah, come on, you know, um tom brady for sure. I think maybe Davante Adams Julio jones, I don't have that already listed five. Who's the defensive guy who's Bobby Wagner would be really, really fun to kind of go against as a middle linebacker. Imagine taking a hit from him. That would be fun. It would be terrifying, but it would be fun for the show and he said he's been in the NFL for 11 years, He still hits like it's his first year, he still hits like it's his first rookie year, That's for sure. My favourite one.
Okay, so you filmed the park scene where you had to like get your groove back and you played against people that were randomly just playing flag football in the park for the American scene. How is that dynamic when filming with like people? And then also like playing it was the same.
It was always the same because we have the same stunt coordinator, you know, kind of formulates all the plays and things like that. I think it was more fun to be able to play with Greta, you know, she doesn't play football. She could toss the rock though and you know, whenever I threw that pass to to her in the corner of the end zone, I think it only took three takes and she caught every single one. So it was, she's good. She's got some hands on it. Don't, don't sleep on Greta.
Who do you think is the best player behind the scenes from the cast?
Probably Hunter. Probably Hunter because he has football experience. Um, Cody and Daniel have all, they've both grown a tremendous amount, but they just don't, they didn't have like the football, like you are kind of like Hunter and myself, so to come in and really learn the game. Like they have, they leaps and bounds.
Okay. And you also did the buzzfeed the thirst trap tweets, that video which went viral everywhere. That was all over Tiktok, that was all over in Syria. That was pretty much everywhere. You could find social media. Um, so can you take us through that and what your experience was after you guys all blew up from that?
Yeah, yeah. Doing it was just hilarious. We were all having a fantastic time. We were all laughing. Um and obviously, you know, you see the intrusive thoughts kind of came through in a couple of me and Sam's responses to things um seeing the people who enjoyed the video I think was just, it was just fun. I think it's I think that that's I love to make people laugh and I love to of people hopefully enjoy the content that we put out or that's put out about us. So whenever it was blowing up or doing whatever it was doing, we were all just kind of sitting back and laughing laughing with everybody. So I think we enjoyed it.
Absolutely. Because you guys are really close cast. Like, are you guys like sending tick talks to each other that people make of you guys and stuff like that? Like, you're joking about everything that's online.
Sometimes me and Chelsea and Greta will send edits back and forth to each other um that people have made of us, and I think it's funny. Oh, we all will laugh about the people remember season, I think it was season one and two, whenever people were remaking skits and Spencer, you know, for Crenshaw, for my family for coop. So we all kind of laughed about that um together collectively as a group. Um but yeah, no, we, we we definitely all see them. We all see him one way or another, whether it's being sent or just on our for you page. Uh we all do laugh and joke about the accuracy of people. You know, they're so good at creating our mannerisms.
Yeah, it's great. They're so good because you have so many shows like Stranger Things is huge on social media. You have all like netflix shows that are just like blowing up and stuff like that. So it's like funny to see what kind of edits come about from people but all american ones are great. So they're great. They're fantastic. Okay and you have a picture with Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davis on your instagram accounts. Are you more of a euphoria guy or an outer banks guy?
Euphoria for sure. Euphoria for sure. I love both shows, I love both shows but I felt more as a viewer watching euphoria. I felt just the grittiness of it all and I was like God, I love that I love you know watching shows that make me feel sad. It doesn't make me feel like like route, you know, feel something.
Who do you think Jordan would be best friends with in euphoria because our audience is obsessed with euphoria because they're all so obsessed with all american.
Oh man, not rule not not fez, although that would be interesting. What is not Jacob Lord's character either. I think that I don't think like Jacob's Lord, I think that honestly, I think that he'd be friends with 100 schaefer's character. I can't think of what that character's name is. Something about that character's free spirit. Yeah, I think Jordan would gravitate towards for sure. Yeah.
Okay, we have five minutes left, so we're gonna do a little trivia. So we have a list of things and they're about you so you have to be able to answer them but you have to be a little okay, okay, you ready?
Let's do it.
You posted a Tiktok on september 17th and it said maybe my soul mate dot dot dot because that Tiktok viral, What did it say? Give me the ICC what's your biggest, if someone does, it's your biggest tick.
This might be controversial. Edits their photos.
Really?
I think whenever I love a raw photo, I love a raw photo. I know everybody edits their photos to a degree, right? I try, I do my best. I don't edit the photographer's gonna edit, that's fine. But if I take a picture, click it's up. Um But whenever you edit your photos and like change the shape of your body done, get out of here.
Girls across the world right now. Deleting face out. Please do it. Ladies do it for yourself, don't do it. Yes. Okay. What was the first day of the first ever all american episode. What date did it air that's what was the day to the day?
Oh it was Wednesday. But the date.
Wednesday october 10th. Yes, you got it.
Okay. I don't know if it does sound good. I don't know if it was an october 10 but okay. You're good on all american. Okay, what is Samantha Logan's birthday?
October 24th, 6, 1996.
96 is the 24th or 27? You tell me.
It's 27, 27, 27.
Yes, you almost, you almost messed that up. But you got it. You saved yourself. You say Okay. In an article that was written about your ideal partner, you said this finish the sentence, Michael would appreciate someone he can come home to and blank, blank blank. What do you think? This was like an article back in 2018.
Jelly. Where are you following this game? I think it was someone who I can come home to and be myself and who can make me laugh.
That was not. You said talk to you about my day. You really hit home with that one. You got every girl in their fields. You said talk about my day, my day. Okay. You're a big Ohio state fan, college football fan. And you know, they recently had a tough game, they lost Michigan. What was the final score? Was it 20? We had some field goals. I know that was 20, I think something like that. That right, that right. Lower for you guys. 21-42 or 24-40-45-23. It's okay. I know you blocked it. Okay. And last one you should be able to get this very easily. Who are you currently a partner with? Ding? Ding, Ding. You got it. Isn't it crazy though, that you use this in high school and stuff and now you're partnered with them?
It's very weird. It's very weird whenever my manager was like, yo irish spring, they want to do this. I was like down. But like you're, you're joking. It's it's crazy how things occur. I don't know, full circle moment.
You only got two wrong. So you kinda did good with the trivia game.
Okay. Yeah. You were pulling things from like 1990 for you shouldn't? No, it's about you. Oh man. I don't remember what I said last week. You know, it's fine. We'll give you a pass. I love it. I love it. Okay, well thank you so much and congratulations on season five and your partnership.
Thank you so much of your day.
