00:03Hudson Williams
00:10And Connor Story
00:18Congratulations
00:19Thank you
00:22I mean, I was listening, watching the audience reactions
00:27They were squealing, panting, laughing at all the right times
00:33Okay, if you're panting at the wrong time, see a doctor
00:37And if you're laughing at the wrong times, ouch
00:42Jacob, I'm going to start with you
00:44So you listened to Rachel Reed's Game Changers series on audiobook
00:51Then you reached out to acquire the rights
00:56I did
00:57I followed her on Instagram
00:58I slid into her DMs
01:00I followed her on Instagram
01:01She followed me back
01:02And then we started chatting
01:04So from then to now
01:06You wanting to adapt the book
01:09To now
01:10How does it feel?
01:11How are you?
01:12You good?
01:13Great, I'm good
01:13Are you good?
01:14Yes, I feel good
01:15It's great
01:16Yeah, it's crazy
01:20This show
01:21That was three summers ago
01:24How does math work?
01:25That was the first season of The Traitors
01:29That's how I can remember it
01:31I was on set on season one of The Traitors Canada
01:33So it was two summers ago
01:34And that's when I followed Rachel on Instagram
01:38So in TV language
01:40That is like lightning speed
01:42It's very, very, very fast
01:45And I am very happy
01:49I'm very tired
01:50And I'm very overwhelmed
01:52So what was it about Shane and Ilya's story
01:56Holonoff that made you want to start here?
01:59I mean
02:01It's the
02:02I mean
02:03I love the books
02:05I love them all
02:05Rachel, you know I do
02:07And Heated Rivalry
02:09It's the iconic one
02:11And I think it's the iconic one for a reason
02:14It doesn't follow
02:15A lot of the normal tropes
02:18Of a romance novel
02:20And they're
02:22I mean
02:23Rachel's writing is so good in general
02:24But these
02:25These characters are so well written
02:27They're so alive
02:28They're funny
02:29Their dynamic is interesting
02:31You care about them
02:32And then fundamentally
02:33There's something incredibly sweet
02:35About the fact that they meet
02:36When they're rookies
02:38And the whole show
02:40Spoilers
02:41Takes place over eight years
02:42And it's like
02:43It's this long
02:45Smutty love story
02:46But ultimately
02:47They're each other's first love
02:49Which is ultimately really sweet
02:51And very conservative
02:53And very romantic
02:54And I like that
02:55Let me come back to the smutty in a minute
02:59Hudson, let's talk about Shane
03:00He is between the two characters
03:02More reserved
03:03And in the book
03:04You know
03:06We learn about him
03:07Through the inner monologue
03:08Right?
03:08The expectations placed on him
03:10His worries
03:12His frustration
03:12So how did you
03:14Bring all that emotion
03:15To life
03:16From the page?
03:18A good director
03:19A good writer
03:20I think it came down to
03:25I think letting the fans in
03:27It started with Jacob's scripts
03:28And that was a lot
03:30Clearly he was
03:31He was always going through something
03:32And then reading the book
03:34He means shade
03:36Not me
03:37Yeah
03:37Clearly Jacob
03:38Was always going through something
03:40It was always a new thing
03:41On sad new neuroses
03:42And he'd just take it out on us
03:44I hate it here
03:45No, no
03:47But then
03:48Rachel also
03:50Her book
03:51Like
03:51Gave so much more
03:53Inner monologue
03:53That I wasn't thinking
03:54When I read those scenes
03:55In the script
03:56And then
03:57I made the
03:58Great choice
03:59To go on Twitter
04:00And Reddit
04:00And everywhere
04:01Just to get
04:02Everyone's opinion
04:03On Shane
04:04Because I wanted to bring it all in
04:07And then
04:07They had so many opinions
04:10So many ideas
04:11Of what he was going through
04:12In these moments
04:13And what he was thinking
04:14And how he must have felt
04:15And so
04:16At first
04:17I was like
04:17Fuck
04:18Sorry
04:19Do I choose one of these?
04:21And then I never did
04:22And it was always
04:23So many things
04:24Rattling around in my brain
04:26And I never made a choice
04:27And hopefully
04:30It just worked
04:31And if it didn't
04:33I am so sorry
04:35Yeah
04:36That's my answer
04:39Connor
04:40Ilya's
04:42Charismatic
04:44He has a more
04:46His charismatic
04:47And like
04:48Assertive exterior
04:49Kind of conceals
04:50A vulnerability
04:51So what was it
04:52That clicked for you
04:54In understanding
04:55Who he is?
04:56Understanding who he is
04:57Underneath the
04:58Sort of exterior
04:59However you want
05:00To interpret that question
05:01And whether or not
05:02You went on Reddit too
05:03I don't know
05:04Yeah
05:04I did not
05:08No I mean honestly
05:09It was very
05:10His character is pretty
05:11Straightforward for me
05:12Actually
05:13If you look at his
05:14Circumstances based on
05:16Not only heated rivalry
05:17But also long game
05:18But we'll stick to
05:19Heated rivalry
05:20His background is so
05:21Specific
05:23That you kind of
05:24Can't help but
05:25Have a really distinct
05:26Idea of what that
05:27Person looks like
05:27You know
05:28Coming from Russia
05:30Being secretly
05:31Bisexual
05:32Or you know
05:33And having already
05:35Come to terms with that
05:37Having you know
05:38A shitty brother
05:40Having a
05:41You know
05:42Dead mom
05:43Having an
05:44Alzheimer's ridden father
05:45Being a professional
05:46Hockey player
05:47Like it's all
05:47So specific
05:48That you kind of
05:49Can't help but
05:51I don't know
05:51Have an idea of
05:52What that must feel like
05:53And what that must be like
05:54So I think the pressure
05:55Is just on
05:56And he kind of
05:56Runs from it
05:57With that exterior
05:59You both do such
06:00A great job
06:02Playing your
06:03Perspective characters
06:03But then of course
06:05It's the chemistry
06:06Between Shane and
06:07Ilya
06:08I mean
06:09I believed
06:10Every finger touch
06:13Every kiss
06:18I told you
06:19Only when we're
06:20Paying you
06:22You don't get it for free
06:23You don't get it for free
06:25I'm sure everyone else
06:27Here did too
06:28Every charged gaze
06:31All of that
06:32So
06:33How did you build
06:35This relationship
06:36Off screen
06:37To
06:37To bring it
06:39On screen
06:40To this point
06:41We've gotten this question
06:43A lot
06:43I know
06:44And I want to hear it
06:45Again
06:46Yeah
06:46And I think that
06:47Every time I answer it
06:48I'm just
06:49It's the same
06:50Thing
06:50And it just
06:51Makes me realize
06:52It even more
06:53I mean
06:54I think we just
06:55Have very compatible
06:55Energies
06:56And I think
06:57We're both
06:57Very bold
06:59And kind of
06:59We're game
07:01To get
07:01Intimate
07:02And vulnerable
07:03And get two inches
07:04From each other's face
07:05And we're both
07:06Comfortable with that
07:07And when you have
07:07Someone who matches
07:08That energy
07:09It just becomes
07:09Even more kinetic
07:12Match our freak
07:13Match our freak
07:14And I also think
07:16We just have
07:17An ability
07:18To look like fools
07:19And try a bunch
07:20Of things
07:20That Jacob hates
07:21And I think
07:23A lot of that
07:24Is like
07:24Just giving options
07:25You know
07:26Just try this
07:27Try that
07:27You know
07:28Give like
07:28Shane a nervous
07:29Tick
07:30And then
07:30He's like
07:31We'll leave it
07:31On the editing
07:32Room floor
07:32And then
07:32Just all shaped up
07:34Nice and dandy
07:35But we think
07:35We both have that
07:36Ability
07:37Thank you
07:37To just try stuff
07:40He loves it
07:42I know you know
07:44The fans of this book
07:46Are very intense
07:47About this book
07:49And this
07:50Relationship
07:52And they care
07:54Very much
07:55About signature scenes
07:57Tuna melt
07:59Russian phone call
08:01Confession scene
08:02All of that
08:03It's all gonna be there
08:04So
08:06Was there a scene
08:07In particular
08:08Jacob
08:09That you were most
08:10Excited to tackle
08:11Or more nervous
08:12Or
08:14Whatever
08:16I haven't answered
08:17This version of this yet
08:18You know what was
08:19Exciting for me to write
08:20Was
08:22The scene on the phone
08:23From Russia
08:24Because
08:24It's not
08:25Kind of
08:26It's
08:27I mean obviously
08:28It's in the book
08:28But it's not written
08:29What he's actually saying
08:30So I wrote him
08:31A whole
08:32Fucking
08:33Very long
08:35Monologue
08:36And
08:36And that was fun
08:37It was really fun
08:39To do that
08:39It was fun to
08:41Add more
08:42Svetlana
08:43It was kind of fun
08:43To help build
08:44A bit more
08:45Of the world out
08:47I took great pleasure
08:49In that
08:49While I hope
08:50And think honoring
08:51The spirit of the
08:52Story
08:53I was very aware
08:55Of the tuna melt
08:56I was very aware
08:58Of the cottage
09:01I was
09:01There's a lot
09:02That I mean
09:03Yeah
09:03Like they're big moments
09:04For me too
09:05I'm a fan
09:05Like I wanted to do them
09:06To do them all
09:07I mean a lot of them
09:08Are in that
09:09Like that
09:10The Vegas rooftop
09:11Is like huge
09:13And so is that
09:15Shower
09:15So I mean
09:16There's so much
09:17That is like
09:18So I mean
09:19That's what's so great
09:20About this book
09:20Is that it kind of
09:21Hops from these
09:22Incredibly memorable scenes
09:24To another
09:25Incredibly memorable scene
09:27Hudson and Connor
09:28Is there a scene
09:29That you predict
09:30Fans will
09:30Lose it over
09:32Once it airs
09:34I'm very bad
09:35At gauging that now
09:37Because
09:37Like recently
09:38The gym scene
09:40Was released
09:40I was like
09:41Oh that's pretty tame
09:42People might just
09:43Be like
09:43Oh that's cute
09:44But they just
09:45Were feral
09:45And frothy
09:46And so I am
09:49Just a horrible
09:50Horrible gauge
09:51For everything
09:52Clearly
09:54But hopefully
09:54All of it
09:55I hope
09:55I just you know
09:56I'm trying to think
09:57Of other iconic moments
09:58From the book
09:59That will become
10:01That don't come to life
10:02Like that
10:02Like highlight points
10:04Oh I hope
10:05The scene
10:06Can I spoil
10:07The scene
10:11Does it spoil anything?
10:13There is a whole
10:14Book out there
10:15No it's fine
10:15But there are
10:17Things that
10:17Yeah yeah
10:18I think you're talking
10:19About the scene
10:21Before this
10:22Vegas hotel room
10:23In the bathroom
10:25Yep
10:25That's the one
10:26Is that what you mean?
10:27Yes it is
10:27Yeah that's a great scene
10:29That's an episode
10:30That's an episode too
10:31And I hope it
10:32Makes them
10:33I don't
10:34I don't know
10:34What we're talking about
10:36After you guys present
10:37Oh yeah
10:40There's a
10:41There's a
10:42Like a hard to find
10:43Vodka involved
10:44Yes
10:44That's later
10:45No I mean
10:46That seems great
10:46That seems great
10:47That's in Vegas
10:48Right?
10:49Very long
10:49The scene
10:50Before though
10:51That's like
10:52When they're discussed
10:53When they have a
10:53They kind of have a fight
10:54Post awards
10:55A fight
10:55So it's not that
10:57Hot and heavy
10:58But it's
10:59It's hot and heavy
11:00Yeah
11:04You are
11:05The stars of the show
11:07But of course
11:08It wouldn't be complete
11:10Without your colleagues
11:11Without your co-stars
11:12A few of them
11:13Are here tonight
11:14Right?
11:15Dylan Walsh
11:16Dylan Walsh
11:16Oh my god
11:18Senya Daniella
11:19We have so many other
11:21One
11:21Callan Potters here
11:23With Hayden
11:25I know he matters a lot to you
11:28And we have
11:29Not with us
11:30Sophie Nellis
11:31Who plays Rose
11:32And Francois Arnault
11:33Obviously
11:34Who plays Scott Hunter
11:35And all kinds of
11:36Other brilliant
11:37Talented actors
11:38All over the place
11:39And yeah
11:40It's a great cast
11:42We were very lucky
11:45No
11:45Was there
11:47No I don't want you to
11:47Wait
11:48What were you supposed
11:49To say that
11:50Was there a question in there
11:51I wanted you to talk
11:52About your co-stars
11:53And working with
11:54The ensemble cast
11:55And what that meant to you
11:56Oh
11:56It was fantastic
11:58I
12:00It was
12:01And I think
12:02Just you know
12:03You haven't met
12:05These people
12:05They're playing
12:06People you need
12:07To have chemistry with
12:08They already come in
12:09With this kind of
12:10Expectation of
12:11A relationship
12:12And I think
12:13Us sort of
12:15Overwhelmed
12:16By just everyone
12:16Having the best attitude
12:19And just being
12:19So friendly
12:20And really
12:23Careful
12:24With their characters
12:26And the text
12:27And they really cared
12:27None of it felt like
12:29They were just kind of
12:29Showing up
12:30To do a paycheck
12:31Or something
12:32They were
12:33They were in it
12:34To win it
12:35And we were both in
12:36We were both in
12:37Very new circumstances
12:38I mean me
12:39Not speaking Russian
12:40And not playing hockey
12:42Hudson also not playing hockey
12:43It was really great
12:44Because we
12:45Also can't speak Russian
12:46Fun fun
12:47But can speak Russian
12:48I can do Russian
13:08So Danya
13:10Who plays Svetlana
13:11Like I mean
13:12It was just great
13:13To have people
13:13Who actually know
13:14And they were so
13:15Incredibly supportive
13:16And that was so nerve wracking
13:17Everyone who helped us
13:19Do all things hockey
13:21Were so supportive
13:22Like it's so scary
13:24Like it's so scary
13:24To show up
13:24And like
13:25Not look like an idiot
13:26And then look like an idiot
13:28And someone be like
13:29You don't look that bad
13:31It's like
13:32Is a really great experience
13:34On and editing around you
13:36Looking like an idiot
13:37Hearing your director
13:39Say that you had to edit
13:40Around you
13:41You know
13:41There's a lot of
13:42Hurtful possibilities here
13:44They did a very good job
13:44With the hockey
13:45I think we should also
13:46I don't know
13:47Even if she made it tonight
13:48But our intimacy coordinator
13:50Chayla Hauser
13:50She is here, I saw her
13:52Where is she?
13:53That's nice
13:54She's here
13:57A hero
13:58A hero
13:59This show would not have been
14:00What it was without her
14:01And just made it
14:03An enormous
14:04There's obviously
14:05I mean this was
14:06Essentially a full time job
14:07For Chayla
14:08As you can imagine
14:08She was there
14:09Almost every day
14:12And we
14:14The way that that
14:15You know
14:16That was something
14:17Frankly
14:18I'm just inventing
14:19My own questions now
14:20Alini sorry
14:20My next question
14:22Was about getting
14:22Smutty and horny
14:23So let's talk
14:24Tell me about the horny
14:25I've never shot
14:26A lot
14:27I've shot sex scenes before
14:28As a director
14:29And as an actor
14:30But to this extent
14:32And this elaborate
14:33And this volume
14:34Where it was such a part
14:35Of the language of the show
14:36And we rehearsed them
14:38At the very beginning
14:39Of the
14:40But
14:40With Chayla
14:41But then
14:42Having her there
14:43And her input
14:44It was
14:45It was
14:46It was
14:47It just
14:48She helped us all
14:49Have a language
14:50Where we could just
14:51Become so comfortable
14:51With it
14:52And obviously
14:53As you can imagine
14:54By the end
14:55It was like
14:56Oh my god
14:56Put on a robe
14:57Like they're so
14:58They're too comfortable
15:00Like the nudity stuff
15:01Is also for the crew
15:02Like you have to
15:03Put on clothes
15:05But like
15:07The level of facilitation
15:09And
15:10What it gave us
15:13We have to do so much
15:14With the sex in the show
15:15Because the sex
15:16Is about character
15:16Their connection changes
15:18They start off so young
15:20They get to be 25
15:21They realize they're in love
15:22Like that
15:23The sex can't be static
15:24And it's boring
15:25We all love smut
15:27But like
15:27It's boring
15:29If it's the same thing
15:29Over and over again
15:30You don't want to see that
15:31You want to see something different
15:32You want it to feel different
15:33To have a different level
15:34Of engagement
15:35You really are learning
15:36About this relationship
15:37Through it
15:37So to have Chayla
15:39As an ally
15:39As a
15:40As a
15:41As a guide
15:41Throughout this
15:42Was just amazing
15:43And I know that
15:44The boys loved her too
15:45Thank you for your work
15:47Thank you for your work
15:48Thank you for your work
15:48Thank you
15:50My husband
15:51Thanks you for your work
15:57Is he also watching the show
16:00And he's like
16:00So
16:04He
16:04He introduced you
16:05To E-Drival
16:06It's not about me
16:06But here's how I'll sell the show
16:08To people
16:08He dropped me off
16:10At the train station
16:10This morning
16:11And I was like
16:12I am so excited
16:13Tonight
16:13Fucking going to
16:15Moderate this
16:16Gay hot
16:17Romance show
16:18And
16:19I'm so horny
16:21About it
16:21And he was like
16:23Show me a scene
16:23I showed him a scene
16:25And he was like
16:26Alright
16:28He was like
16:29I'm coming on the train
16:30And he was like
16:32Can't wait for you
16:33To get home
16:33And I'm like
16:34You better wait up
16:37Anyway
16:38Alright
16:39So
16:40Thank you for
16:41That's the right answer
16:42Everybody
16:42Doing my
16:43Smutty and horny
16:45Jacob
16:47Switching gears a little bit
16:48No
16:50Please
16:53You said in a recent interview
16:55That it was really
16:56That you wanted to maintain
16:58Shane Hollander's cultural identity
17:00Yeah of course
17:01That you did not want to
17:02Whitewash this character
17:03In this sport
17:04Can you talk about
17:06Why that was important to you?
17:08Yeah
17:09I mean
17:09I guess
17:10Kind of
17:11For me
17:11For the obvious reasons
17:12There are not
17:13A lot of
17:15There are not
17:16A lot of people
17:16Who are not white
17:17In the NHL
17:18And
17:19There are
17:20Not a lot
17:21Of people
17:22Who are not
17:22White as leads
17:23In romances
17:24Either
17:25And so
17:26That was a huge part of it
17:27And I think
17:27It's a lot about
17:29I think
17:30It's
17:31It's a lot about
17:32Shane's personality
17:33Is that he
17:35Is this kind of outsider
17:37And I think
17:37There's something
17:38Very interesting
17:39That happens
17:40When you read a book
17:41And your character's name
17:42Is Shane Hollander
17:43That your brain
17:44Can whitewash him
17:44In a really easy way
17:46And
17:46There was never
17:47A question to me
17:48Like this character
17:49Had to be
17:50Asian
17:51And
17:51I think it just
17:52Brings something
17:53Much more interesting
17:55To the story
17:56Besides just honoring
17:56What's in the book
17:57I mean like
17:58It was never a question
17:58Because it's in the book
17:59Like I wouldn't
18:00Question that
18:01Period
18:01But then I also
18:03Wanted to
18:04And we talked about this
18:05I wanted to address it
18:06Like I wanted him
18:07To talk about it
18:07A little bit
18:08Because
18:08There aren't
18:10Besides
18:11And this show
18:12Is not Nick Suzuki
18:13Fan fiction
18:14Rachel Reed will tell you that
18:16Though
18:17And it's not
18:18It was published before
18:19He was the captain
18:19Of the Habs
18:20But like
18:21The fact that there
18:22Is a half Asian captain
18:23Of the Montreal
18:24Hockey team right now
18:25Aside
18:26There are not that
18:27Many Asian characters
18:28There are many
18:29Asian players
18:29In hockey
18:30And so
18:31I thought like
18:31That is
18:32It just makes the whole thing
18:33More interesting
18:34And yeah
18:36It would be monstrous
18:37Just to make him white
18:39Well
18:40As you said
18:41Yeah
18:41A confession
18:42I'll tell you something
18:44Admit it to you
18:45Okay
18:45When I was reading the book
18:45We're just chatting now right
18:46No when I was reading the book
18:48Even though I am
18:49Of East Asian background
18:51Yeah
18:51Shane Hollander
18:52In my mind
18:53Right
18:54Was not Asian
18:55Yeah
18:56Even as an East Asian person
18:58Yeah
18:58So I really appreciate
19:00This effort
19:00And so
19:01To you Hudson
19:01What does it mean to you
19:03Coming from
19:04Your background
19:05To be able to play
19:06This character
19:07In this story
19:07That so many people
19:08Are going to see
19:09It means a lot
19:11It means a lot
19:11My mom told me
19:13At one point
19:14That when I wanted
19:15I told her I was going
19:16To be an actor
19:16She said
19:18It scared her
19:19Because
19:20She thought
19:21Her being
19:22An Asian lady
19:23That it would
19:24Kind of limit
19:25My possibilities
19:25For roles
19:26I could get
19:27Because she hadn't
19:27Really seen
19:29People like her
19:32On the screen
19:33And then when I booked
19:34A role
19:35Due to the fact
19:36There was a prerequisite
19:37That I am half Asian
19:40I think it just
19:41Kind of
19:44Made her see
19:45That things are changing
19:45And there are new
19:46Possibilities
19:47So that really
19:48Felt amazing
19:50Yeah
19:55Connor
19:58The majority
19:59Of the fans
20:00Of this book
20:01Are women
20:03And queer
20:04And this show
20:05Serves that audience
20:08Prioritizes
20:08That audience
20:09As a part
20:10Of this team
20:13How do you feel
20:15To be part
20:16Of a show
20:17That prioritizes
20:19An audience
20:19That is often
20:20Neglected
20:21Underserved
20:22How do I
20:24Feel
20:24Doing that?
20:25You personally
20:25Yeah
20:25Yeah
20:26I mean
20:26I
20:28I've said this
20:29Before
20:29I feel like
20:31Getting into
20:33Niche
20:33Specific
20:34Human experiences
20:35Whether
20:37It's
20:37Shane
20:38Being
20:39You know
20:40Half Asian
20:40Or
20:41Ilya
20:41Being a foreigner
20:42Both of them
20:43Being queer
20:44I think
20:45Getting into
20:45These really
20:47Niche
20:47Specific
20:48Human experiences
20:49Actually
20:50Really give you
20:51A chance
20:52To open up
20:52And let people
20:53Connect
20:53Connect
20:53You know
20:54If it was
20:54Super generic
20:55Then it's
20:55Kind of like
20:56It's so
20:57Vanilla
20:57That there's
20:58Kind of
20:58Nothing to
20:59Stick
20:59You know
21:00I was really
21:00Surprised when
21:01I found out
21:02That most of
21:03The demographics
21:03Of people
21:04Who love
21:05Rachel's books
21:06Are predominantly
21:08Women
21:09Because I
21:09Think on the
21:10Surface
21:10You would
21:10Think
21:11You know
21:11M.M.
21:12Romance
21:12And you
21:12Would
21:12Think men
21:14I think
21:15I think
21:16Those two
21:17Communities
21:18Just really
21:18Relate to
21:19The feeling
21:19Of being
21:21I'm in
21:21A box
21:22That box
21:23Says
21:23I can be
21:24A, B, or C
21:25And I feel
21:26Capable of
21:27More than
21:28That
21:28And I think
21:28These two
21:29Characters
21:29Feel that
21:29Way
21:30You know
21:30Living in
21:31The gray
21:31On some
21:31Level
21:32Feeling like
21:32What's
21:33Expected
21:33Of me
21:34What the
21:34World wants
21:35From me
21:35And what I
21:35Am
21:36Are not
21:36Always cohesive
21:37So
21:38And I
21:39Definitely
21:39Relate to
21:40That too
21:40You know
21:40So it
21:41Feels very
21:41Good to
21:42To be in
21:43That conversation
21:43It's also
21:44Just way
21:44More interesting
21:45To I
21:46Think appeal
21:47To that
21:47Than you
21:49Know
21:49Middle
21:50Middle
21:50Middle
21:51America
21:52Or something
21:52You know
21:54This ain't
21:54The Taylor
21:55Sheridan
21:55Universe
21:56Thank you
21:59I guess
22:00That
22:00I do have
22:01A show
22:01Called
22:01Landman
22:04It's gonna
22:05Be Landman
22:05Oilman
22:06Truckman
22:07It's so
22:08Filthy
22:08You mentioned
22:10MMfiction
22:10Right
22:11Huge on
22:12TikTok
22:12A book
22:13Talk
22:14Sorry
22:14BL
22:16Boys Love
22:16Is exploding
22:17In popularity
22:18In the eastern
22:20Markets
22:20In broadcast
22:21But we
22:22Haven't
22:23Seen
22:24Shows
22:25Books
22:26Yes
22:27But the
22:27Shows
22:28In the western
22:29Market
22:29Really take
22:30Off
22:30You are
22:31Leading
22:31A movement
22:32You are
22:32I agree
22:34No I think
22:36I think that
22:37What we've seen
22:37Is a lot
22:38Of it skewing
22:39YA
22:39In the west
22:40Right
22:40And I think
22:41I've said this
22:41A bunch of times
22:42Like I would love
22:44To be a gay
22:4414 year old
22:45Or 15 year old
22:46Now like to have
22:47To have grown up
22:48With heart stopper
22:49And young royals
22:50And all these
22:50Like they're wonderful
22:51They're also
22:52For young people
22:54So they're sexually
22:55Neutered
22:55And I think
22:56That this is
22:57That for grown ups
22:59Because we get
23:00To have our fun
23:01Too
23:02And as cool
23:03As it is
23:03To wait six episodes
23:04For people to hold hands
23:05It's also fun
23:06To watch them bang
23:11We do that
23:12Bang
23:13Bang
23:14Bang
23:14Okay
23:15So yeah
23:16So that's what
23:16This show
23:17But I think
23:17That like
23:18I think that
23:19That's the
23:19That's the part
23:20That besides
23:22Happy endings
23:24That's what
23:25Gay people
23:25Really don't get
23:26I didn't mean it
23:27That way
23:28I get it
23:29I hear it
23:30But like yeah
23:31We don't get
23:32Happy endings
23:32And we don't get
23:33To see ourselves
23:34Have satisfying sex
23:35We get like
23:37Kind of like
23:38Dirty secret trysts
23:40And then we get
23:40It's like
23:41You know
23:41That's
23:42That was the joy
23:43Of this show
23:44To me
23:44And of Rachel's books
23:45And getting to
23:46Explore this world
23:47Was just that
23:47These is
23:48This is just
23:49A complete love story
23:50About two people
23:51Who
23:53Yeah
23:53Who are
23:54Obsessed with each other
23:55And can't stop fucking
23:56And then realize
23:57They're in love
23:58Fucking is great
23:59Agreed
24:00Amen
24:01All right

24:53Okay
24:54Shalia sounds like
24:55A thing you have
24:57Guys
24:58I think I have Shalia
25:00So how do we combine
25:02Connor's story
25:02And Hudson Williams
25:03What do we
25:05Con stories
25:05No
25:06Uh
25:07Hudner
25:08No
25:08Con
25:09Hudcon
25:10That's the front
25:12Of both of them
25:13That doesn't make any sense
25:15Well y'all decide
25:16I'm not gonna
25:17Shitting myself
25:18Conson
25:19Conson
25:20Conson
25:21Conson
25:21Conson
25:22Willie
25:23No
25:25This is your idea
25:26This is a thing
25:27I'm asking
25:28Okay
25:28What was it
25:29Hudcon
25:32Hudcon
25:32We didn't agree to that
25:34We're at Hudcon 5
25:38What is Shane and Ilya's theme song
25:42Um
25:42I really want
25:44No
25:45I'm not gonna say
25:46I want
25:47I really want
25:49Ilya at some point
25:50To sing
25:51That tattoo song
25:53Remember
25:53All of what you said
25:55All of what you said
25:55All of what you said
25:58That's a Russian
25:59That's like a lesbian Russian group
26:01They're super sick
26:02Tattoo T-A-T-U
26:03T-A-T-U
26:04I can't tell if he's fucking with me
26:06I think we'll do that
26:07Just collectively for both of us
26:09You get a say
26:09Yeah it's up
26:10Literally
26:10It's my say
26:11It's up to me
26:12They don't get a say
26:14Right
26:15Well
26:15Say
26:16I think when you have seen the show
26:18You'll see there are some featured songs
26:20And I would guess that it is between
26:22My Moon My Man by Feist
26:25And I'll Believe in Anything by Wolf Parade
26:28Okay that's cute
26:29I'll take this one
26:30I'm thinking the Rocky theme song maybe
26:32Gonna Fly Now
26:34You know
26:35I think it could score everything
26:37I would do anything for love
26:38But I won't do that
26:39Me and love
26:40I don't
26:41Yeah
26:44Which castmate would be the worst
26:46In an actual hockey fight?
26:49Francois or no
26:52Worst meaning do the most damage
26:53Or lose the hardest
26:56However you want to answer that
26:57Hudson used to do MMA right?
27:00Yeah
27:01So Hudson used to do MMA
27:02So he would win
27:03Yeah
27:04I would cry
27:05Yeah
27:06Francois would
27:07Would run
27:08Also cry?
27:09Yeah
27:09And then Francois and I would cry together
27:11And have a competition over that
27:14And cry harder
27:15Okay before I let you go
27:17Final question
27:17You heard what Justin Stockman said earlier
27:19There are more books
27:20Yeah
27:22So have you been thinking about more?
27:25How far along are you on the more?
27:28Shot every single one
27:30Not as far
27:30I'll tell you what I'm not
