I have like eye eyelash envy. I've got like issues with everything that you've got going on, the ear things, the We've been talking girl stuff.

So we have been talking girl stuff.

I don't know how you have natural eyelashes like that.

She's teasing me. They are not real.

I wasn't going to say anything. I wasn't going to say anything. You could have just gone with it.

I was, but I'm not a liar. I can't lie.

Um, how do you get through? And I know your it's thrilling to be on a big show, but how do you get through? Day long days on set.

You know what? We have such a great cast, and I know I've probably said this a million times, but we actually get along and we hang out with each other when we're done with work. We're like, what are you guys? We do. So, we go into each other's trailers and we just hang out.

Who's the person like, who's the person that you're like always in that person's trailer?

Jesse.

Really?

Yeah. Either Jesse or Rick. Rick and I share. It's like a long trailer in there.

Wait, isn't it one of those where you cuz I've been in trailers before and there's you can hear everything that's going on in the next trailer.

You can kind of hear. I think our bathrooms, our bathrooms like separate. Which is kind of embarrassing, right? Yes, that's like I mean, I share bathroom sound space with Rick Cosnet.

Wow. It's awkward. So what have you heard? No, I'm just kidding. What has he heard?

Yeah, there's a question. What has he heard? Nothing. Oh. Nothing.

Um, your fans love to hear this stuff too. They're like, I want to hang out with them. Come hang out. Don't come hang out with you. You might get turned away at the gate. So, um, I know you've talked about this, but I I'm fascinated by the fact that your dad is a former FBI agent.

Yeah.

Were there military secrets that were going on in your household?

No, not that I know of.

You're lying. I can tell you're lying.

I told the truth about my eyelashes. Which can I retract that?

You can tell the truth about eyelashes, but not about the grill. What was the best like sort of like the craziest scenario you ever told me about?

Yeah. I don't know.

Yeah, that he told you about.

That he told me about. I think he had a fake identity, though.

Wow.

Don't quote me. Am I a li I'm in so much trouble. Just like the eyelash police are going to come and and the FBI are going to storm this place.

But do you get any sort of a perk like when do you get to go through the airport really fast or anything?

Nothing. I get nothing.

Wow. How did the former FBI agent feel about you saying, Dad, I'm going to be an actress?

They're so supportive. My parents are insanely supportive. You know, before I booked the show, I was at a point in my career being out here in LA where I didn't think I could go through another pilot season and hear no. And I remember I was getting on the plane the next day to fly back to LA from Texas and I was just like, Mom, I don't think that I can get on that plane and go back. And she was just like, I know you're frustrated. She's like, but you know, I'm not going to support you giving up your dreams. So, if you choose not to get on that plane, you can't stay here. So.

And then how long after was the flash?

I think three weeks later, I booked the flash.

Wow. You hear these stories all the time. It's just when somebody's on their last. It's just when you're about to give up. Why is that?

I don't know. I think the universe just pushes you to the very edge. But I appreciate that now. Yeah. Like there's there's an amount of appreciation I have for this job that I may not have had if I had had success right when I moved to LA.

What was the moment like when you got cast on the show? Like what was that call?

Oh, man, I could cry thinking about it. I've been to that place so many times where you're testing and it's the final audition. And it's you and one other girl, and it's always gone to the other girl, you know. And so I just I think in the back of my head, while I felt like this was the role for me, there was that hesitation of like, here, here it comes again. Like just be prepared to hear no. And so, you know, the hours go by and you're like, you know, waiting for the call for your manager and finally the call came in and they were just like, you got it. And I could I literally could not believe. You just can't believe it.

Okay, I think you're going to make me cry. I'm serious. It change in one moment.

I mean, it makes me emotional. My life just completely changed. It got to the point where I was just used to hearing no. And so to hear yes was like, are you sure? Like, I told I literally was on the phone with my manager and I was like, are you sure they want me? Do you want to call them back? And I was like, do you want to just call them back and make sure? And they're like, Candice, they want you.

And now, on the show, renewed for a second season.

Yeah. Shooting 100,000 episodes.

100,000 episodes, exactly. That's the exact number that we're doing. Um, I want to talk about on-screen kisses. What are the kiss scenes really like?

Um, they're technical. There's nothing romantic about it.

Well, it sounds like my dating life. So that's on-screen kisses are the least of my worries. What about when it's somebody who all season long or all you've become friends?

Yeah, they haven't been a problem. I think because we're all so close. It's just. Just stop spitting. I don't know. But we do talk about it. I mean, after like, how was I? A little bit. Sometimes you're kissing and then there's like the like spit that hangs, which never happens in real life. In real life, when you're making out, I mean it does.

Oh, you're doing so many things wrong. I just. I'm going to hire. I want you to cut this. I'll hire you to move back to LA. I just want to help you. No. Okay, well, I thought in real life, like, you never really have the spittle that connects. I don't know. Or maybe you're doing it right. Maybe you're doing everything right.

I'm getting all slobbery.

Anything you can tease about the show in general coming up.

Um, I will say that episode 15 will blow your mind.

I see a lot of yeses in your future. Oh, good. I think you're awesome. I had some years of no's and I think that's it's done. She's done. Can you just hang out with me and give me advice in my life? So, basically, the show ends here.

The show ends here. But for the therapy session. The couch therapy session begins now.
