Britt Robertson

If I can get a hold of some Nicki Minaj or like Iggy Azalea, because I would rap a lot on set.

Britt Robertson

I don't like to clump those two together because apparently they don't like each other.

Britt Robertson

That would be a mean fight.

Britt Robertson

That'd be a mean fight.

Britt Robertson

I wonder if they could only do it with their butts.

Britt Robertson

Like if they could only fight with their butts, who would win?

Young Hollywood

Well, they could probably do that and they wouldn't even have to get close.

Britt Robertson

Exactly.

Britt Robertson

Yeah, exactly.

Young Hollywood

I'm Oliver T here at the Young Hollywood Studio with the lovely Britt Robertson.

Young Hollywood

How are you?

Britt Robertson

I'm good.

Britt Robertson

How are you?

Young Hollywood

Wonderful.

Young Hollywood

You're a busy girl.

Britt Robertson

I am.

Britt Robertson

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

That you found time to sit down.

Britt Robertson

Well, anything for you, Oliver.

Britt Robertson

Let me tell you.

Young Hollywood

Thank you.

Young Hollywood

Thank you.

Young Hollywood

We have that relationship.

Young Hollywood

We just do anything for each other.

Britt Robertson

Anything.

Young Hollywood

And what also is going around is The Longest Ride.

Britt Robertson

Yes, that's that's happening.

Britt Robertson

It's happening.

Britt Robertson

I actually did ride the Sattern Ranch bull once and hit my face on the thing.

Young Hollywood

No, it is true.

Britt Robertson

I lost the front too.

Britt Robertson

This is a true story.

Young Hollywood

It's a true story.

Young Hollywood

So that's a fake you got there?

Britt Robertson

They're fakings, yeah.

Young Hollywood

Wow.

Britt Robertson

Yeah, we just pointed it out.

Young Hollywood

Good job.

Young Hollywood

Um, bull riding is a big part of the movie.

Britt Robertson

It is.

Britt Robertson

Yeah.

Britt Robertson

I mean, it, you know, it takes over a good portion of the movie when um my love interest, Scott Eastwood, decides to hurt himself and then continue bull riding, which is sort of a no-go, I think, in a relationship.

Britt Robertson

Good show up dead one day.

Britt Robertson

I'm not cool with that.

Young Hollywood

No, you don't want that.

Young Hollywood

You don't want that.

Young Hollywood

It's roller coaster.

Young Hollywood

You never know what you get in.

Britt Robertson

Sitting at the door, waiting.

Britt Robertson

I mean, is he going to come home?

Britt Robertson

Is he going to come home?

Britt Robertson

It's an unfair thing to ask of a woman.

Britt Robertson

So then, yes, it does take a big part of the film and it's like a conflict.

Britt Robertson

Will he choose me?

Britt Robertson

Will he choose bull riding?

Britt Robertson

Who knows?

Britt Robertson

It's juggling.

Britt Robertson

Let's go.

Britt Robertson

And he's got it.

Britt Robertson

He has made the eight seconds.

Britt Robertson

Yeah.

Britt Robertson

Luke Collins now moves up to the 48.

Britt Robertson

Hey.

Britt Robertson

Keep it.

Britt Robertson

It's kind of a, now that I'm thinking about it, it's sort of a rude thing to be like, "Oh, gotta love those bulls.

Britt Robertson

Sorry, babe."

Britt Robertson

I'm going to ride a bull.

Britt Robertson

Instead of being with you for the rest of my life.

Britt Robertson

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Britt Robertson

Jerk move.

Young Hollywood

Just to point out, yeah, it's no no longer a romance.

Britt Robertson

It's horrible.

Young Hollywood

Mhm.

Young Hollywood

Britt Robertson

We can fight through this.

Britt Robertson

Right.

Britt Robertson

Just because we have to fight, doesn't mean it's got to be over.

Britt Robertson

I mean, you must be the most insufferable.

Britt Robertson

Britt Robertson

I don't know.

Britt Robertson

Um something really simple.

Britt Robertson

It's never fun when like guys try to do something really extravagant.

Britt Robertson

For me, that's overwhelming and I don't want to get too dressed up.

Britt Robertson

I just want it to be really low-key.

Britt Robertson

I said this the other day and people thought it was such a stupid idea.

Britt Robertson

But I like a hike, like a walk.

Britt Robertson

I don't want to say walk in the beach cuz that's a little too cliche.

Britt Robertson

But something of that nature.

Young Hollywood

Okay.

Britt Robertson

Very very cheap as well.

Britt Robertson

It's great.

Young Hollywood

Cheap date.

Britt Robertson

Let me tell you.

Young Hollywood

Cheap date.

Young Hollywood

Just that's all she wants.

Young Hollywood

And one other thing, I heard this recently that you can rap.

Young Hollywood

Is this true?

Britt Robertson

Yeah, I knew that was about to come out of your mouth.

Young Hollywood

He's trying, I was swinging on it and I'm like cuz I never know if it's true.

Young Hollywood

And sitting here, I wouldn't think that it was true.

Britt Robertson

It's so true.

Britt Robertson

Yeah.

Britt Robertson

I look ridiculous rapping, I'm sure.

Young Hollywood

It is true.

Britt Robertson

Scott tells everyone that I rap cuz I would rap a lot on set cuz you know, you have so much free time.

Britt Robertson

So rapping is the go-to.

Britt Robertson

There's nothing better that cheers me up more than just, you know, letting it loose and like really just finding words.

Britt Robertson

It's pretty.

Britt Robertson

You know.

Britt Robertson

I mean, I'm not a great freestyler, but if I can get a hold of some Nicki Minaj or like Iggy Azalea.

Britt Robertson

I don't like to clump those two together cuz apparently they don't like each other.

Britt Robertson

That would be a mean fight.

Britt Robertson

That'd be a mean fight.

Britt Robertson

I wonder if they could only do it with their butts.

Britt Robertson

Like if they could only fight with their butts, who would win?

Young Hollywood

Well, they could probably do that and they wouldn't even have to get close.

Britt Robertson

Exactly.

Britt Robertson

Yeah, exactly.

Young Hollywood

That's point.

Young Hollywood

I'm gonna be in New York, you're in LA.

Young Hollywood
