Summary

Rachel and Melinda are joined by Entourage series creator and OC fan, Doug Ellin, to discuss “The Rivals” (S1 Ep17). They discuss the crossovers of The OC cast members on Entourage, the similarities between the two shows, and dive into the complexities of viewing these shows through a 2021 lens. Find out what Doug thinks of Ryan’s criminal skills and Marissa’s naivete, and how Summer is similar in ways to Ari from Entourage. The Rivals Synopsis: Ryan continues to become suspicious of Oliver when he suddenly transfers to Harbor High. Ryan's attempts to expose Oliver as the person that he is gets met with negative approval from everyone, especially Seth. Summer shows off her new boyfriend, Danny, whose over-the-top antics have everyone constantly laughing, except for Seth. Meanwhile, Sandy is all-in on taking over the Lighthouse restaurant but Jimmy still needs some convincing.

0:00.0	Welcome to the OC, bitches. Oh, with some enthusiasm. Can you just be here every time and
0:21.8	do it? Yeah, I'm fine with that. I'll jump out of college, come and be a little extra on
0:27.1	the podcast. So everybody, we have a special day today. I am sitting here with my daughter Catherine
0:35.1	Grace, Mirage CG. Otherwise known as CG, you all hear me talk about her quite a bit. And of course,
0:42.8	this show started in 2003. She was three and it ended in 2007. She was seven. And we thought it
0:50.3	would be fun for you guys to maybe hear what she thinks about the OC and what it was like when
0:56.1	when she was young, if she has any memories at all. And first of all, it's been a long time since
1:00.5	you've seen Rachel too. Yeah, well, I saw Rachel back in February when you guys did the photo shoot.

1:47.3	my little pink princess scooter and ride it down the hallways and stuff. That's like my one memory
1:52.7	from being on set. Really? That's funny that you remember the scooter too. Yeah, he likes to
1:59.5	steal little girl scooters. I don't know. No, I'm just kidding. He was just prepping for his own
2:07.6	daughter. That is so cute. Yeah, it was so nice having you around and just watching
2:14.2	Melinda you as a mom on set taught me a thing or two, but yeah, just the cutest kid ever.
2:21.1	We were so happy you were there. There were some things I asked CG last night. We were talking before
