Just follow where the croud goes and you’re golden most of the time. I’ll try and put in a good word with the people. Make them realize what they’re missing out on here.

Mhm, I hold Max’s hand or the back of his jersey and I follow like a dog, and so far I’ve been so good. Thanks, bud, I can go give a full PowerPoint presentation like that thoughts, questions, concerns girl on TikTok on why Uncharted 2 would make an awesome movie.

I guess you know more about it all since you grew up there, right? You can tell us the ins and outs of the place. Trying to keep it as equal as possible, especially since Hails deals with so much during the season for me. So I want to do this little thing I can for her. All the good things are coming. Just keep positive and it’ll all be fine. Plus, you get to hang out with Hailey and I all the time if he comes here. All the double dates to be had.

Born and raised in a movie set, I guess, so yeah, I’ll be your guide to all things LA, leave your gluten and non-organics at the door! That makes sense, I think Max is kinda the same way, but I also know he loves to spend time in Toronto and he doesn’t get to do that because he’s playing away, but we’ll see. We still have wedding planning and all that to do. Oh yeah, that’ll be so much fun, I’d love that, please bring him to Toronto.

Ryan: Winona used to be a cat person before we got Lydia now she just loves all the babies. Hey I respect that, I love special treats and head rubs! That's a good idea, I used to have one of those kitty doors for Knots that was chip activated, before he disappeared, now he can only go outside on a leash because he doesn't know how to act.

Ryan: I don't really have the room for two vivariums, and they can't bunk together because salamanders are toxic to bearded dragons.

Grace: I used to be a cat girl too until Pluto, and now with the rest of the zoo, I love all the animals. See? Everyone loves those, I'll make sure mom gives you the good head rubs and special treats. Wait, if she's mom, does that make you dad? Oooh he lost outside privileges, poor Knots.

Grace: They're toxic?? How sad, but I guess it makes sense.

i get that and it’s also adorable! i’m seriously so excited, i want to see how lovely you’ll look, how the wedding will look. i know it’ll all be beautiful and so amazing. ooh, sweeney todd is also a really good one! let’s see them all! yes, we’ll be broadway buddies officially and go all out!

Thank you so much! Well, the wedding vibes are gonna be like, very natural and- The wedding is gonna be outside kinda in the middle of the woods in Canada, so we wanna keep it very neutral, greens, blues, brows and all that, you know? Broadway buddies, I love that!

Yeah, I think Twitter went mad when it first happened. It happened in the first game of our playoffs, which wasn’t a great start. And it got re-aggravated in the last two games, but we made it. That’s all that matters. Yep, and we were happy! What about y'all? Have you really started to get down to the planning now?

Yeah, and you kept playing, so that must’ve made it even worse- Yeah, exactly. You made it and you figured it out in the end, so can’t complain at all! That’s so good, I’m glad you had fun at your honeymoon too, Lo told me about that. We have, the planner’s been a godsend, but we’ve managed to square down to booking the location and the hotel rooms so people can stay in the same place for a few nights if they wanna, managed to deal with the food with all of mine and Max’s dietary restrictions without missing the chance to take care after the friends’ kids and the picky eaters in our lives, so it’s all going according to plan... I still gotta get my wedding party ready and do all the favors and all that.

Nat: One of these days we're going to be at a con together. No, for sure. I absolutely get it. None of us wants to be linked to just that one person forever. Of course it's nice that people recognize me for Nancy, but do I always want to be known as Nancy? Not at all. So I absolutely get it. They also asked about the love triangle again several times, I had a hard time not rolling my eyes haha.

Grace: Someday, what a day that'd be! Yeah, that's what I thought and what I told my manager, like I get that this is all about pre-press for season 4, but I don't wanna do this the rest of the year, I'm not... I wanna focus on my streaming and doing that as a job, plus some auditions and writing all my passion projects.

I mean Scary Spice wasn’t really scary though. Mel is ICONIC. We can post an open call for spice girls haha.

They were all iconic, and do we even know if Ginger spice was actually ginger for real? An open call, this sounds like a job for a tweet!

Sabrina: I'd love that if it were to happen! You know you're welcome anytime at any show. You're not wrong. I love getting to perform a new one every night and I think it's the audience's favorite part of the show, too.

Grace: it's such a fun show, and like, it's really fun and wild but it's also kinda chill vibes and i appreciate that a lot. it's so fun, like for the first time in the night everyone quiets down to hear the new bit of the song.

rudypankowdreams​:

Sounds about right, honestly. I just take the schedules and go most of the time. Like on an autopilot of sorts. Ah, who knows? Only time can tell on that one and if I’ll even be in it.

Yeah, on autopilot sounds about right, especially now that the offseason will start, I’ll be on follow-mode more than ever. You gotta do that, please, I really loved the movie. Call the people and tell them Gracie needs it.

Ryan: He really is a cat person! That's crazy though, will you have to buy him special food now? The cat not Max 🤣

Ryan: I WISH I had a bearded dragon, they're so cool! Lickabod Crane is his name, he's a salamander.

Grace: Max is a pet person, I swear I think I could get him a bunny or a hamster or any other pet and he'd be so good with them. Very empathetic with animals, they really love him. Ha! Max does get special food, yes, when he is a good boy, he gets special treats and head rubs. Nah, I'm kidding, but yes, Atlas does have special food and he has one of those special bowls that only open when you bring a chip close, which he has on his collar, so he can be the only one to eat his food and not Woki, who is a chunk and will eat any and every food.

Grace: LICKABOD!! THAT'S THE COOL NAME!! Salamander... You could totally have a bearded dragon though, couldn't you?

that’s so fucking amazing to hear! gaming, he’d play shit like mario kart and legend of zelda, sometimes with friends sometimes he’d go solo. i’ve gotten a lot into gaming lately, but not really streaming. i’ve gamed only with my band mates currently, but definitely going to have to branch out to more friends. ah, i see and yeah that makes a lot of sense honestly. april 14th, have my back, jellybean, it’s album drop day. for now, feel free to hype up the tour or the five singles out currently. i am, along with my hii-def clothing line. ooh.. i get that, i’m pretty alright with kids, but again.. my buddy geoff having a kid almost five years ago now kinda made this all much easier for me now. you know what i mean?

Oohh I loved the new Zelda game that came out for the Switch a few years ago, I totally ate it up in no time and then spent months doing all the side quests, but me and my friend group usually play Valorant. If you wanna meet cool people, you gotta meet my group, they’re the best. April 14th, got it, it’s gonna be a wild day! Wow, that’s a lot, like band plus clothes plus family with baby? Sounds like you’ve got your hands full! Yeah, my best friend just had a baby so I’m now getting used to them, but I’m not great.

Los Angeles is pretty dope. Splitting the time is a good idea. I think Hailey and I are gonna do that where we split it between Toronto and New York. She loves it there so if I can get her there for a bit, I know it’ll make her day. Hopefully, the Stars sign him. I keep throwing it into the hockey universe that he just stays there. Or at the very least, he comes to Toronto. I’ll protect him over here. Eh, you honestly get used to the cold after a while.

It really is, I know it’s very like, cliche and very actor-based and we’re all drinking celery juice and doing hot yoga, but I love LA. You will? That’s nice, I’m sure she’ll love that, it’s always nice going back home to where your family and your loved ones aside from your partner are in our case. Hopefully they will, for more than just a year, so I’m excited to see where life takes us after we’re married. Oh, I’d love that, to go somewhere where he has friends so I inherently have friends too, that’s the dream.

Nat: We're currently with Sof and Sid to meet Sebastian. And then Friday we're off to Philly to see Trav's brother and his family. Sounds like we'll miss each other? I'm sorry! You've been to so many cons, oh my god. Truly hope it's going to slow down a bit! Especially with the wedding coming up.

Grace: awww baby bas! I can't believe I keep missing you on cons, how upsetting! I'll be missing you for sure. So many, really, it's... It's getting to be a bit much, mainly because like, I wouldn't... I don't wanna seem ungrateful, I love Chrissy and everything she brings, but I don't wanna be just Chrissy at cons forever, you know?

Been there, I know the feeling so well. It’s going to be a bit stressful and yet it’ll feel like time can’t go by fast enough. But in the end, when you’re standing there getting married to your person it’ll all be worth it. Yes, for sure! Not having to worry about anything was perfect for us. We got back Monday and I gave Sterling all the hugs from you, pinky promise! She’s the cutest little girl, lights up every room. And had me wrapped around her little finger the moment I met her. I know Pat was always worried how others would take to her, but honestly, how can you not love her? 

With Max’s season going to the playoffs though, I’m kinda glad it’s a bit further away, so he can focus on that and I can focus on him. The wedding planner has been such a godsend though, can’t thank you enough. Now we just gotta worry about the honeymoon, but something tells me that’ll be the easier part. Ugh, how cute, I’m sure they were both so happy to see mommy and daddy again. I bet, I mean, I can only equate it to Orion and Leo, Max’s pets, and I totally get the feeling! I mean, she’s the sweetest little girl, it’s very hard to actively not like her, you know?!

Ryan: She's also got a water infection so she's miserable. Oh no, poor kitty! I totally don't even consider the fact that animals can get diseases like that too :(

Ryan: Yeah, honestly three dogs, the cat, and the water bug is enough. No wonder I'm going grey.

Grace: I had no idea cats could have it either, but you know, you learn something new every day, and Max has more in common with our pets than we knew!

Grace: Wait, water bug? Is that the bearded dragon? Or was it a gecko? I always get him confused! I remember he had a cool name, but i can't remember that either.

Daw I am so happy for you and that. You definitely deserve to sleep more sounder. Thinking of my own sleep I could probably be doing better in that area?

Plus, it’s like having a puppy around at all times for medical reasons, two of them no less! So it’s been super awesome. Oh really? You been lacking there? Is anything wrong? I know I get less sleep when I’m anxious or nervous about something.
