00:00who are you and what are you doing my mom's studio we're just three ghosts and we're really
00:06happy to be home this is just too weird so madison now that the show is out what has the
00:13fan response been like for you so far it's been great so wonderful i mean hearing people's stories
00:18about how they related to julie is so amazing and just also how it's been so you know important to
00:26them that they've been able to see this um new you know representation um whether it was in me or
00:32or you know jada as well they love love the music but then there's also this story about how they
00:37might have lost a parent or a sibling or a loved one and that blows me absolutely away and and then
00:45they talk about dancing and you see these videos of these kids like in front of their tvs like
00:50literally did and that's exactly what i can tell you all of us used to do to like have some musical
00:55mama mia i gotta say it brings so much joy to my heart give it up for julie and the fans
01:03why have you been keeping those cute boys a secret they're ghosts when we play together people can see
01:09them kenny fans on social media have been praising alex and willie's relationship in this show
01:15why do you think it's so important to have lgbtq plus representation in a teen series like this
01:20it's time you know i had no role models i had no one out there for me you know growing up i had no
01:28one that that said to me you know it's okay you know i for for so many years of my life i was alone
01:34and and the response from young lgbtq plus kids that are watching the show and the impact that it's
01:41having on them is so positive and wonderful that fills my heart i think it's huge just to be able
01:46to normalize something like this for a young generation and he's always kind of been proud
01:51alex has always been proud of who he is and and his friends have always supported him and i think
01:55that's so cool that you know that they can watch it and and just see it as as a normal everyday thing
02:00it's special it's so important because that's the world we live in today and it should be depicted the
02:08way it is in real life to you know on screen like there's no there's no reason why it shouldn't be
02:12like that the fact that we're just in the show casually and it's there it's like the most
02:17beautiful thing so i'm very happy that um we're representing it in that way i can't do this without
02:22you everyone can see the way you look at her when you sing you are the most watchable duetters i've
02:28ever seen you guys got to write some of the music on the show right uh a little bit yeah charlie and
02:36maddie uh wrote a perfect harmony and i'm sure charlie can uh i can elaborate on that but even
02:42uh even as far as like this band is back which is the little kind of beach jam that uh that me and
02:48the boys do in the second episode and they let us kind of just riff on it one day and kind of mess
02:53around with it and then we had a little brief idea and they brought some writers in and uh and they
02:57had us do it i think literally the the vocal track uh on the thing is like one take from the three of
03:02us just in the booth and that's why it sounds so just kind of like uh so spontaneous which was so
03:07fun that's what uh blows me away with kenny because he um he always encouraged like you know
03:13uh bringing ideas to the table and and being creative and and and just us wanting to grow as
03:19our characters and us wanting to grow as as a band and then finally being able to write something
03:25like perfect harmony and then pitching it to the show with madison and all the time that was put
03:30into it and then netflix approving and getting into the show like it's still like blown away
03:35blown away we both know how it feels to lose our moms we were brought together for a reason
03:40to help each other what are you waiting for this is your time madison what's one thing you would
03:48love to see happen in season two there's so many amazing characters that you know you know deserve
03:53you know more screen time and um being able to learn more about them and just fall in love with
03:57them more is it what is always exciting especially with the role with the cast like this when all
04:03the characters are just so loved um each and individually you know i think it would be really
04:07funny and i think it would be really interesting if maybe alex finds someone else and then he runs it no
04:15you gotta finish and then i like run into boo boo or i run into willie and then i have to explain
04:23this new love no i don't know i would love drama um good guy for drama and i would love to see uh
04:30willie and alex's uh maybe their relationship you know go a little further maybe a couple more
04:34adventures and uh maybe he can uh help us out maybe he can be on the good side this time honestly i
04:40want to see i want to see a willie and alex duet i think it's important and you touched on it at the
04:47beginning but it just to have uh to have a gay couple on this scene on this series that is not
04:54mired in like shame and you know oh are they gonna get are their other families gonna accept them and
05:01all of that is it's just these two cute boys that like each other period i think we need a song and i
05:09think queer kids everywhere need that moment i need that moment i'm 45 i just think uh it's a really
05:17it's a big it's a big thing you can't understate like how how this relationship is portrayed that
05:22um this is a big step we haven't even begun to tap the level of talent that exists within this
05:28ensemble of players i mean it's it's extraordinary and and and dan and dave our writers are well aware
05:35of it and and so i'm really excited you know about unleashing you know more of what we what we have
05:42in this family of players it's really exciting
