Question: I was just wondering what sticks out to you, like straight away, of those final days of filming?

Jared: So much. I remember vividly - so we, it was, COVID had just kind of, I don't want to say ended, I guess it's still - I've had it four times now, so? The gift that keeps on giving. But I remember the two weeks we had to spend in quarantine. Coming from America into Canada, we had to stay in our places for two weeks. And so some of the crew who had been up to quarantine would come leave, like, care packages, you know? They'd be like, shoot a text, hey, here's some food or some vitamins or some Gatorade or something outside your door. And so open it up and do that. And then he and I and Rob Benedict and Jake Abel would text each other. I remember our Zoom conversations with each other -

Jensen: Yeah, we had party Zooms. Party Zooms.

Jared: We had, like, party Zooms. Yeah, yeah.

Jensen: Lockdown. Yeah.

Jared: And then every day I also remember very vividly - I mean, the bridge, the barn [hurk noise]. I remember when they told me - I remember shooting the last scene in the Men of Letters bunker and when they were like, yeah, we start breaking it down tomorrow. And so standing there [gestures down face like tears falling, makes sad noise]. You think y'all cried during the barn scene, you should have seen me in the bunker when they were gonna tear it down. I was like, trying to grab shit? And now I have, like - I did. So [chuckles] there were a lot of real books in there, a lot of which I took. And then there were fake book fillers that I use as bookends. And then there was stuff that I've seen for the last three years and been like, what am I gonna ever do with this? Maybe I'll auction it for charity.

Jensen: Did I ever tell you what I grabbed? So in the bunker there, there's the two library tables that we sat around all the time. I didn't take a table but -

Jared: [mimes carrying a table off over his shoulder]

Jensen: But one of the tables had some initials carved into it. And I asked them, like, what's gonna happen to this table. And they're like, nothing, we're gonna probably break it down and scrap it. And I was like, will you cut [draws] that out? So I have this [demonstrates size with hands] like that big that's got all of our initials carved in it. So I have that collecting dust somewhere.

Jared: Thank you, good to see you. Alright, Ackles.

[Jensen continues briefly retelling how they were sad/deflated that they had to say their goodbyes during COVID when everybody was wearing masks and divided into pods with restrictions on interaction]

Jared: This is the saddest morning of all time. Can we get a happy question? Pick a fucking happy question.

(x)

Wanted to share this version, cause I found the sound to be a bit better, but also there's lots of fabulous close-up of our motherfucking ROCK STAR!!!

Someone, somewhere, probably, maybe: "No Post for Carry On Finale? Guess she's moved on too, huh?"

Me: "Bet you gonna feel real damn stupid once you hear where I've been on November 19th"

Love waking up to this gorgeous smile on my feed 😍🥰

Then to see Misha's post 🤣 dorks the lot of them 😂😂

Oh Jensen 🤣

LMAO!!! I can't even! Some pictures are too funny to pass up, regardless of who's in them. But let's be honest... Jared wore it best!

Edit: Apparently this is from Misha's IG. They say when you hang out with people too much,  you start to look alike.

Question: One of my favorite things about Supernatural is the music, and I was curious if you guys remember your first concert experience, and who was it that you went and saw?

Jared: Yep, I remember - I don't remember which one was first, but I [???] I saw En Vogue open for Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer.

Jensen: [makes face, covers his eyes with his hand]

Jared: [rests his arm on Jensen's back] And not a word of a lie, my mom - I don't remember which was first. But for my birthday I really wanted to go to this other concert, so my mom took me. And I like begged and my birthday passed, couldn't get tickets. Christmas came, I got tickets or whatever. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Jensen: [shakes his head]

Jared: I'm not fucking kidding. It was TMNT, yeah. And I'm proud of that!

Jensen: [incredulous] En Vogue?

Jared: It was a triple header, it was En Vogue, Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. All of that [???]. It was probably like 92 or -

Jensen: Were you too legit to quit?

Audience member: You're never gonna get it!

Jared: [makes comically amused face and points, claps]

Jensen: [makes 🤯 gesture] [sings] Never gonna get it, never gonna get it ... Um, right. Mine's not quite as embarrassing. My first concert, my mother took me with her sister my aunt - and I don't remember the story, I forget why I went and why like my brother and my sister - well, my sister wasn't quite born yet. But I don't know why my brother didn't go.

Jared: He was at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with me.

Jensen: [laughs] Yeah, he was at En Vogue with you. But I was six years old and it was - it scared the crap out of me. It was at Texas Stadium and it was Michael Jackson Thriller Tour. [Jared jawdrops] My first concert ever. And I was terrified because all the lights were down and then these big monsters started coming out on stage [makes weird vague movements to imitate monsters] and then, I mean, it was like, oh my gosh, what's happening, the roar of the crowd - I'd never been in a crowd that big, and then he came out and he just blew the roof off the place. That's why it doesn't have a roof. Um, and then the first concert that I went to on my own volition was Van Halen with Sammy Hagar.
