Young Hollywood

Let's let's go a little further. Like So you and so so this doesn't sound random, um, on your Instagram you had a conversation with your mom about Jared Leto.

Molly Tarlov

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So who has the crush? Is it your mom?

Molly Tarlov

It's definitely Judy.

Young Hollywood

Okay, do you call your mom Judy?

Molly Tarlov

I call my mom Eve.

Young Hollywood

Really? Isn't that awesome? People think it's really weird when I say Eve and they go, who are you talking to? I'm like, my mom. Hey, Josh, what do you call your mom?

Beau Mirchoff

I call your mom Kelly Ann. I call her I call her Kelly Ann.

Young Hollywood

You call her Kelly Ann?

Beau Mirchoff

I call her mother. I call my dad Papa.

Young Hollywood

Do you say mom?

Beau Mirchoff

I do.

Young Hollywood

Cuz you're Canadian. Do you say mom instead of mom?

Beau Mirchoff

I uh I might maybe I do. Mom. Um, yeah, mom or mother.

Young Hollywood

Not to make you feel more awkward. Does does the awkward thing get old with you guys?

Molly Tarlov

Never.

Beau Mirchoff

Never. After four years this is just like the first time is every time.

Young Hollywood

Awkward first kiss or first date?

Molly Tarlov

Oh, I had a really awkward first date. I went to a re-release of Raging Bull. And

Young Hollywood

Romantic.

Molly Tarlov

Thinking of first kisses, the guy tried to kiss me during the movie, which A, is not cute anyway. B, during Raging Bull. Oh. No days.

Beau Mirchoff

I had an awkward first kiss. I I was like in fourth grade maybe. And uh me and buddy we took these two ladies. To uh this like park. this park. Big. And uh there was a willow tree and we were under the willow tree and I was like, I was so nervous and I was like, um can I kiss you? And she's like, I was like, she's like, yeah. I'm like, uh

Young Hollywood

You asked permission.

Beau Mirchoff

I did. Um on the lips or on the cheek? She's like, your your choice. And I kissed her on the cheek.

Young Hollywood

Of course. You did.

Beau Mirchoff

I wish that I did.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Why?

Beau Mirchoff

If I could go back in time.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Yeah. Your whole world might have been different now.

Beau Mirchoff

I don't know. I that's pretty for her. I I feel like if I was a fourth grader I mean, was she fourth grade or like sixth grade?

Molly Tarlov

She was senior. She was a senior in high school.

Beau Mirchoff

I had quite the moves back then.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. I bet you did. Do either of you have any great senior year stories from high school?

Beau Mirchoff

I have a funny story. Uh I played on the basketball team. I was I was a bench player. I wasn't a very good basketball player. And uh but my friend said he was going to streak the basketball game. So we told everyone and everyone goes to the game. Um and it was like, you know, second quarter and sure enough he comes running out, fully naked with a paintball mask on. He runs onto the floor and he pants a guy. And he's like, everyone's laughing and he's running around. And then he goes to exit the gym out of the the far doors. And but I told some of my friends to to hold the doors on the other side. So he goes running through, he goes to get out. He's like, waving and he can't get out. He runs the other side, he can't get out. There's teachers uh chasing him. He's like dodging them. Oh my gosh. It was it was so funny.

Young Hollywood

Friends with benefits is a theme this season awkward. Yeah. Um, do you think friends with benefits works? Can it work?

Molly Tarlov

Well, for at least for me it's hard for me to even want to have benefits with someone that I don't like. You know? So that's probably what it is that why would you want to be hooking up with someone that you don't like like that? Cuz if they're truly friends, you don't want to go there usually, right?

Beau Mirchoff

Yeah. It's very similar for guys too. I think guys like to put on that like you know, macho, you know, front, but they're all softies, I think, deep down. And once you start spending times with, you know, a lady and physical attraction that uh that forms into something more than that.

Molly Tarlov

I think you're the only person guy on the planet that actually really would say that. I mean, you can totally have friends with benefits, you know, no.

Young Hollywood

So, um, so you and Brett had done like you did um, like a re-enactment of sort of season one, two and three for people who maybe hadn't watched the show before to sort of set them up for season four. Is that what you had done?

Beau Mirchoff

Uh, kind of. Yes. It was more of a perfunctory just yeah, sing along.

Molly Tarlov

Yeah, that's what we did.

Young Hollywood

We have a guitar here. Do you have a guitar here?

Beau Mirchoff

We do.

Young Hollywood

A slightly out-of-tune guitar. And we would love it if you would maybe give us a tease for what might happen in season four of Awkward.

Beau Mirchoff

Let's do it. Should we?

Molly Tarlov

Let's do it.

Beau Mirchoff

You wanna play the drums?

Molly Tarlov

Yeah. There you go.

Young Hollywood

You guys have so many isms on the show and Taylor Swift is going to be season a season four thing. What actually is that? You know what that is, right?

Molly Tarlov

I do. Yeah. Um, Taylor Swift is when you are burned and spurned and you write a song about it.

Young Hollywood

There you go. About a person.

Molly Tarlov

About a person. And it goes like.

Molly Tarlov

Jenna cheated on Matt in season. Never gave a reason. Except that she's awful. Yeah. Sadie was right all along. This is a really bad song.

Young Hollywood

I'd buy it. Okay. That was fantastic.
