You just defended yourself. Sorry. Hey, you guys, Audrey in the Young Hollywood Studio from Yoga Hosers, Tyler Posey, Harley Quinn Smith, you have the best name ever. I have to say. When did like, when did you realize that you were named after this awesome comic book character?

Harley Quinn Smith

I mean, it's, I've loved Harley Quinn, like, my whole life. But, it wasn't till everybody understood who I was named after, before everyone would be like, "Oh, Harley Davidson. That's so cool." Like, "Your parents must like love motorcycles." And now, I'm like, "Hi, I'm Harley Quinn." They're like, "Oh, my god, like Suicide Squad!" That's so.

Oh, yeah, definitely like Hot Cheetos and like those Arizona giant iced teas for like 99 cents.

Harley Quinn Smith

Just, I like the green tea.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

Harley Quinn Smith

It's like ginseng and honey or something. But then there's like a there was a weird there was a weird rumor that

You really like it. It's great. Yeah, I have. I have. I have. You have the most thirst quenching thing. You just chug one and then you throw up afterwards. Because it's because you chug it.

Sure. Yeah.

Harley Quinn Smith

Mhm.

Young Hollywood

What about for you? What do you have to pick up from the convenience store?

Tyler Posey

I've become really obsessed with the Juicy Fruit Starburst Strawberry flavored gum. It's like all I ever am chewing ever, so, um, that's that's an essential.

Young Hollywood

Really?

Tyler Posey

It's like the only gum I eat. I like really want to swallow it sometimes cause it tastes like a Starburst.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

Tyler Posey

Yeah. And like it's really tempting, but like I try I try to just stay strong.

Young Hollywood

I know. It's yeah. I know. I was like, maybe, I can't like. It's hard to say no. It's okay. You can always swallow that. You can swallow it. That's seven years.

Tyler Posey

Harley, honestly, it was it was worth it.

Harley Quinn Smith

Worth it?

Tyler Posey

Like I'm happy. I'm I don't regret it.

Young Hollywood

I feel like you've done this a couple times.

Tyler Posey

I never chew gum and not swallow it. Every time. Every time I chew gum, I swallow it.

Young Hollywood

So, how much gum like do you do what do you have like 42 years worth of gum?

Tyler Posey

42 years. 42 years worth of gum. It's been a long long hard road but I've learned a lot and uh

Young Hollywood

It's made you a better person.

Tyler Posey

Yeah. That's it.

Harley Quinn Smith

Destroy everything that threatens anyone or anything that you love. That's the yoga way. We can do this. We do tons of stupid stuff behind our adults all the time. Now, we're a three, we're gonna shit out of these Bratwurst, okay? Okay? Warrior three!

Young Hollywood

The two of you have really grown up either in this industry or alongside it. And I just want to know of all the mentors that you've had, who has given you the best advice and what was it?

Tyler Posey

Your dad gave me some really cool advice because he's got a podcast, which is where I first met you guys. And I really wanted to do a podcast. I was I pulled him aside one day and I was like, "What do I have to do? What do I do to do it?" He's like, "Dude, honestly, you just gotta do it." And I did it and now I have a podcast. I sat down with my buddy, grabbed him a couple microphones and just started talking about whatever and now it's it's like a kind of a kind of a thing, so.

Young Hollywood

I'm so happy for you. You tell your pops and if I don't tell him before you, that uh, thank you. Well, because this is the the Kevin Smith advice hour. What advice has your dad given you?

Harley Quinn Smith

The most solid piece of advice, I feel like is the most important was you treat everybody no matter if they're an actor or someone catering or whatever, anybody on the set with equal amount of respect. And because everybody's working just as hard as you and that that stuck with me.

Tyler Posey

Sorry, boot, eh?

Harley Quinn Smith

I'm not even supposed to be here today!

Tyler Posey

Damn Yoga Hosers!

Harley Quinn Smith

Don't you move, you yoga hoser. This is so basic.

Young Hollywood

Well, the Colleens like to call things out when they're basic. So, I thought we would play So Basic.

Harley Quinn Smith

So basic.

Young Hollywood

You guys are not basic. But, I did think we could play a game called Basic or Nah. And I'm just going to list a bunch of things and you tell me if they are basic or nah, okay? All right. So, liking pumpkin spice lattes.

Tyler Posey

I mean, yeah. I think it's kinda basic.

Harley Quinn Smith

It's a little basic but like they're also like They taste they're good. Like it tastes like a pumpkin pie. It's like it's like a little good.

Young Hollywood

So, we're nah on this?

Tyler Posey

Nah.

Harley Quinn Smith

So basic.

Tyler Posey

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Nah, I'm with you. I'm with you. You guys are tied. Uh, taking selfies. That's basic. You don't ever take selfies? Ever? Was that was that did I step over the line? Maybe a little bit, maybe. You just defended yourself. Sorry.

Tyler Posey

Maybe like I'm a little offended. You never take selfies? My dad is like the least basic person and he takes selfies more than me. So, like.

Young Hollywood

You're right. You're right. It's not always basic. I think he lost this round.

Tyler Posey

I totally did. I know, I'm sorry.

Harley Quinn Smith

Even if it's like a basic pose, if you're like doing something like stupid, then like maybe it's basic. But, but it's like, you know.

Young Hollywood

Okay. So, selfies can be basic but not be basic at the same time.

Harley Quinn Smith

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

I'm going to say nah. I'm going to give this one to Harley. Yeah. I'm with you. I'm with you. Nah. Uh, wearing Ugg boots.

Tyler Posey

Wearing Ugg boots, basic. I I don't like Uggs.

Young Hollywood

All right, well, you know what? I think uh I think Ugg boots are pretty cool.

Harley Quinn Smith

No, you can wear Ugg boots and like, you know, have it not look basic. But then have like

Tyler Posey

I'm joking. Whatever, Tyler.

Harley Quinn Smith

Little basic.

Tyler Posey

I've never worn Ugg boots before.

Harley Quinn Smith

What?

Tyler Posey

So I don't know.

Harley Quinn Smith

They're the best.

Young Hollywood

You're you're basic.

Tyler Posey

Yeah, I am a little basic. You I will I will guilty as charged. Uh, signing up for SoulCycle.

Harley Quinn Smith

If you want to get in shape, it's a good way to get in shape. But like, is it maybe a little basic than other workout places? Yes.

Tyler Posey

Yeah, a little bit. It all just sounds like L. A. to me.

Young Hollywood

Is L. A. just basic?

Harley Quinn Smith

Oh, yeah.

Tyler Posey

Yeah. We're all just basic.

Harley Quinn Smith

Yeah. Everything is just like. Everyone here is basic.

Tyler Posey

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So, so L. A. I feel that. Calling Chipotle Chipotle.

Harley Quinn Smith

I never heard that. Is that it?

Tyler Posey

I do it.

Young Hollywood

Do you? So, so basically, if you if you were to say yes to any of these things, then it's just we know it's basic.

Tyler Posey

Yeah. Pretty much.

Harley Quinn Smith

Yeah. That's like uh.

Tyler Posey

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Uh, watching Yoga Hosers. That is not basic at all. Okay. Is it still basic? Make your case. Make your case. Why is it nah?

Harley Quinn Smith

There's nothing like it. It's you will never find another Bratzi movie in your entire lifetime, I feel like, unless there's a sequel. So, there's truly nothing like it. Very unique.

Young Hollywood

And neither of you are basic. I might be a little bit basic. But, thank you so much for hanging out with me. This was so fun, you guys.

Tyler Posey

Thanks for having me.

Young Hollywood

Okay, let's do our non-basic selfie face. Not basic.

Harley Quinn Smith

Sorry, boot, eh?
