Welcome to the Young Hollywood studio. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. I feel like Jared Leto is here in spirit.
He's always in spirit.
Yes. He's always on our minds.
Is he always on set with you in some way?
Mmm. Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
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.
Yeah.
So who has the crush? Is it your mom?
It's definitely Judy.
Okay, do you call your mom Judy?
I call my mom Eve.
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?
I call your mom Kelly Ann. I call her I call her Kelly Ann.
You call her Kelly Ann?
I call her mother. I call my dad Papa.
Do you say mom?
I do.
Cuz you're Canadian. Do you say mom instead of mom?
I uh I might maybe I do. Mom. Um, yeah, mom or mother.
Not to make you feel more awkward. Does does the awkward thing get old with you guys?
Never.
Never. After four years this is just like the first time is every time.
Awkward first kiss or first date?
Oh, I had a really awkward first date. I went to a re-release of Raging Bull. And
Romantic.
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.
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
You asked permission.
I did. Um on the lips or on the cheek? She's like, your your choice. And I kissed her on the cheek.
Of course. You did.
I wish that I did.
Yeah. Why?
If I could go back in time.
Yeah. Yeah. Your whole world might have been different now.
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?
She was senior. She was a senior in high school.
I had quite the moves back then.
Yeah. I bet you did. Do either of you have any great senior year stories from high school?
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.
Friends with benefits is a theme this season awkward. Yeah. Um, do you think friends with benefits works? Can it work?
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?
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.
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.
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?
Uh, kind of. Yes. It was more of a perfunctory just yeah, sing along.
Yeah, that's what we did.
We have a guitar here. Do you have a guitar here?
We do.
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.
Let's do it. Should we?
Let's do it.
You wanna play the drums?
Yeah. There you go.
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?
I do. Yeah. Um, Taylor Swift is when you are burned and spurned and you write a song about it.
There you go. About a person.
About a person. And it goes like.
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.
I'd buy it. Okay. That was fantastic.
