We actually have a whole audience. You can't see behind the camera right now, but we have all these little girls sitting here. Lots of people today. They wanna learn some dance moves from us. Oh, dance moves. All right. If you were stranded on an island, what three things could you not live without? What, you know, like one of those giant Hershey bars. Like, I would want like the biggest one you could buy. It like What is it melt? No, in the plastic you put it in the water and then we'll out. 'Cause it that works as like a natural fridge. Well, I don't know if you live in real life, but okay, let's just So, in my island there's waterfall where I can hide my chocolate. And We actually have a whole audience. You can't see behind the camera right now, but we have all these little girls sitting here. Lots of people today. They wanna learn some dance moves from us. Oh, dance moves. All right. And first of all, the songs 'cause I heard one song that gets really stuck in my head. Mm-hm. Gotta Gotta be me. Oh, yeah. Oh my God, I've been singing it all morning. It's the most catchy song. And you guys are gonna be obsessed with it when you see when you see.

Grace Phipps

We've been listening to it all week in dance rehearsals. So, Yeah, we have. I feel like it's Does that happen where you get like, you hear it so much that you just cannot stop singing? Is there any one particular song that we can't stop singing?

Garrett Clayton

Yes.

Grace Phipps

Let's see what we did there.

Garrett Clayton

Yeah.

Grace Phipps

Yeah, I think it gets stuck in your head the way that any, I mean. Actually no, more than other. There's no way that any song gets stuck. No, it's so much more. They're really catchy.

Young Hollywood

It's like the songs you're using to promote the the movie the most are always the ones that you're like, Ugh, stop saying those words. But you can't stop singing. That's a good thing though. You can't stop singing. I have just a couple of like rapid fire questions. Yes. So, Okay. I know the first one's cliché, but I have to ask it because it's relevant. If you were stranded on an island, what three things could you not live without? Starting with Grace.

Grace Phipps

Okay. I have mine.

Young Hollywood

Oh, you. Oh, no. Starting with Garrett.

Grace Phipps

Okay.

Young Hollywood

Okay, then Garrett.

Garrett Clayton

Okay. Um, like what, you know, like one of those giant Hershey bars. Like, I would want like the biggest one you could buy. And then I'd store it, um, like in a like in a.

Young Hollywood

Wouldn't it melt?

Garrett Clayton

Okay. No, in the plastic you put it in the water and then roll it out. 'Cause that that works as like a natural fridge. And then, um, I would bring a giant.

Young Hollywood

But she's specific. A giant.

Garrett Clayton

Well, no, like a like a waterfall. Like and, you know, and I like some bamboo or something.

Young Hollywood

He's not out of the movie world right now. Well, I don't know if you live in real life, but, okay, let's just So, in my island there's a waterfall where I can hide my chocolate. And

Young Hollywood

Okay, I want to I want to I think we just need to all be stranded on an island with Garrett. And life would be complete.

Garrett Clayton

I've done that.

Young Hollywood

Exactly.

Garrett Clayton

And then, um, okay. So, my other two, because I've read the emergency book. Um, and I would have a nice big box of matches. So, you know, you could cook your food or start a fire. That would be, those things. And until, you know, I, you know, figure out how to actually make a fire with that matches, because otherwise I'll die. Um, and then a tarp, because it's the most universal object.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. You thought this out.

Garrett Clayton

I have. I've also I've mapped out the zombie apocalypse with my friends. It's a whole thing. Um, and then also a tarp, because it's the most universal object. So, you can make it either as a shelter, or you can hide from the rain, or you can use it as a blanket, et cetera. Be that.

Young Hollywood

Grace.

Grace Phipps

I mean, I can't I like This has to be that question and I'm feeling sad about the status of like joy and soul in my life 'cause if I was just like I was like, well, yeah, water food sunscreen. That's what I was like It's so what's funny is this is where guys are actually you're you're proving that you could be more complicated than girls, right? We can move on. No, no.

Garrett Clayton

Yeah. You can also kinda use mud as like a sunscreen, by the way.

Grace Phipps

That sounds cute. Here just kinda gotta mud.

Young Hollywood

So, everyone wants to start on the island. He knows what to do. But then what if there's not mud? You're assuming that there's soil. Or just be wet sand. I need more details about this island. Sunscreen will run out. You need things to stay alive. You know what? We can make a movie about it. Maybe it'll be the plot of Teen Beach 3. Teen Beach 2 or 3. Ooh. Oh, no. And uh uh uh uh some sort of sports ball friend. That'd be good. That's.

Grace Phipps

Yes. Sports ball friend.

Young Hollywood

Taking a lot of liberty in. Okay, we can keep going on this. Um, next. Name a song that makes you instantly break out the dance moves when you hear it. I mean, there's so many. This has happened to me yesterday. I was on I was doing a phone interview, but then the wait music started with the Ooga Chaka. And it was Hooked on a Feeling. And it was stuck in my head all day, and I started dancing in my work because I was like, when do you hear that song? Through the Ooga. 'Cause I. Ooga Chaka, Ooga Ooga, Ooga Chaka. Hooked on a Feeling. And it was like I don't know who. That would be the last song I would have thought you said, but that's wonderful. Okay. Garrett. Let's hear yours.

Garrett Clayton

Random answer. It's gonna sound a it sounds so cliché at the moment if this was like maybe like five months from now then people would be over it, but Bruno Mars at the moment with Uptown Funk.

Young Hollywood

I had a feeling you were gonna say that. That's why I kind of I thought it was gonna be that or like Happy.

Garrett Clayton

I kind of made it my ringtone. Kind of. So, then every time I answer the phone I start dancing.

Young Hollywood

Well, that's bad because then you don't wanna answer your phone calls.

Garrett Clayton

Oh, that's true.

Young Hollywood

Oh my God, you're making a mistake, but you're just like, I like this song. You're keeping someone waiting.

Garrett Clayton

I've actually been worried about I've actually missed a couple calls, and I had to call people back. I'm like, sorry, I was dancing to my ringtone.

Young Hollywood

Okay, and then. Oh my God, I just want to hang out with you. Okay, this is a pretty easy one. Do you wanna build a Snowman? Sand Castle. Or snowman. Got it. You got us. He got you.

Grace Phipps

Yeah, you have to say Sand Castle, obviously.

Young Hollywood

Okay, so out of the cast, who would be the most likely to get buried in the sand and by who?

Grace Phipps

I mean, I think Garrett would be.

Garrett Clayton

Buried if it was a bit in the movie, my character, Tanner would be the one to be buried in the sand. That is the truth. That's a true thing.

Young Hollywood

Okay. But in real life are you asking, or in the film?

Grace Phipps

Yeah, in real life. In real life.

Garrett Clayton

In real life, Kent.

Grace Phipps

Yes. Yes. Kent probably. Kent would be down for it, and it would be worth the times of the joke. He would be so funny. They'd be like, This. So he'd like have like this head thing that would be going. Would be worth it. And it'd be Chrissy and Kent. It would be Chrissy and Kent. But I feel like Kent would like pop his arms out of the sand like, ah. Like. You know. So, it's turned into like a dance clearly.

Garrett Clayton

It would be it would be a dance.

Young Hollywood

And then last one. What's your favorite song to sing in the shower? Everyone wants to Everyone does it, obviously.

Garrett Clayton

I actually bother my roommate with Sherry a lot from Frankie Avalon and the Four Seasons. That's funny. And then I was like I hear them through the walls, shut up. 'Cause it's like really loud. Uh, whatever.

Grace Phipps

That's really funny. My dog sits by my shower, just you know, 'cause she has to like lick my legs when I come out of the shower. So, she gets really excited about it. So, then you're like

Garrett Clayton

Grace Phipps

They're They're dogs germs. They don't count. I wish my dog wasn't scared of the bathroom. He's so scared of like taking a bath. He screams and I'm like, I just want you to be clean. You smell so bad.
