Welcome to the O.C. bitches. What is up? Well quickly, before we get started, Rachel,

0:24.9

how are you doing today? I'm doing splendid. Melinda, how are you?

0:29.7

I have a question for you. How have you been dreaming? I mean, we talked to Josh Schwartz a

0:34.8

little while back, and I was having dreams about the O.C. because we're doing so much research,

0:39.0

and have you been having dreams? I've been having dreams. Not sure if they're O.C. related.

0:46.5

Oh my gosh, so this morning at 6.50, when my alarm went off, I woke up out of a dead sleep,

0:52.4

and I was having a dream that I was auditioning for Josh Schwartz, and I asked him if I could wear my

0:57.1

glasses because I couldn't read the audition, and Chris Carmack was there asking me if I was okay,

1:01.5

because I was acting weird, and I said, well, I just had a hearing test, and this is true. I have

1:07.4

a small bit of hearing loss, and he was like, oh, that makes sense. And then my alarm went off,

1:14.6

and I'm like, thank God, that's not real. But you know what is real? What? Today, we have a very

1:26.3

Maryland as an athlete, and also I read that he was a camp counselor somewhere special, but in high

1:32.8

school, he turned his attention to theater and music. He attended NYU at the Tisch School. He

1:38.9

plays sax guitar. He sings. He's a husband and a father, and he's one of the nicest actors we've

1:44.4

ever worked with. Is there anything that you are not? No, you are definitely not just a pretty face.

1:50.4

You all know him from Nashville, and currently Grey's Anatomy, but we remember him best as the

1:56.9

boyfriend. Luke Ward, our very own Chris Carmack. Hey, dear. It's so good to see you guys too.

2:07.5

I was so excited when you guys got in contact with me, and I heard about this project. I was

2:12.6

looking forward to seeing you guys so much. It's great. Oh, Chris, you're just the best, the nicest

2:18.0

human I've ever come across. You are just so cool, and you are a husband and a father now,

2:25.7

which is kind of crazy. You have a four-year-old, right? Yep. Yeah, she's four and a half.
