J2 Gold Panel Denvercon 2022

Before we get into the panel itself I don’t know if my hearing is just crappy today but at least to me the audio quality is not that good so if you plan to watch this panel, or especially the main one, I recommend you do so with headphones.

Getting into the panel it starts with Jared having problems with his mic stand, and telling a pun joke: “If you go to deaths house don’t sit on his couch unless you’re ready for the reapercushions.” It’s creative, I like it! The puns continue, Jared says Jensen was telling him bird puns the day previous and he was like “all right, toucan play at this game” 😂

Then after Jared makes the joke he turns to Jensen for a fist bump, and Jensen deadpan quips that he’s been listening to this shit for 17yrs and Jared happily replies that it’s been 17 and a half. Married, I swear.

Jared also shares that he got carded the other day (I’m pretty sure everyone knows what that means but in the off chance it’s when you get asked for your ID, usually to confirm that you’re not underage) which surprised him, and then the girl who carded him went to another worker and was like pointing him out and Jared was like “wait! you know who I am? I was on tv 22yrs ago!” One of the fans in the crowd says that the girl wanted Jared’s address - because, at least in the US, ID cards have your address - to which Jared replies that the funny thing is that Jensen’s address is his address. He says this a little too seriously, I’m just saying 👀

Jared says that he loves Colorado, and while staring at Jensen says he knows someone else who also loves Colorado to which Jensen just stares back at him with a blank expression, and when Jared doesn’t volunteer a name and keeps looking at him expectantly he goes “....who?” He didn’t do this as a joke he was fully waiting to see who Jared knows that loves Colorado and then Jared goes “you!” Which makes Jensen smile and go “oh yeah, yeah, yeah”.

Let me preface this by saying no shade to the state and I’m sure Jensen enjoyed his time there but I find this hilarious because when he was staying in Colorado some people were so certain about how much he preferred it and that it was his new home now and that he was never returning to Austin yet for a minute this man completely forgot that he lived in the fucking state for months 🤣

After being reminded, Jensen says he moved the fam there for-during the pandemic and they became a little mountain crew so they’re very fond of the state. Jared says Jensen texted him on his birthday during the pandemic wishing him a happy birthday and saying they were enjoying the clear air and that it was beautiful meanwhile Jared was inside hiding from the heat with the AC because it was hot as hell in Texas. This is mighty interesting of him to say because he posted on that birthday, and according to that post he himself was enjoying the mountain air while ATV riding. His birthday during the pandemic fell during the time that he and G were doing a big camping road trip🤨

Getting into the questions, the fan who asks the first question says they hope the boys are having a good weekend so far but Jensen misunderstands and hears gummy weekend which makes them laugh because Colorado, and Jensen shares a dream he had the night before about how before the Main Panel he grabbed a cookie backstage and ate it and he was super stoned during the panel.

First question is for them but also for Sam and Dean, what is something they don’t know how to do but they would like to learn how to do?

Jared says much like Sam and Dean he would love to learn to swim up stream. Get it? Cause if you say Sam and Dean fast it sounds like you're saying salmon. It’s a bad pun.

His real answer is he would love to learn other languages but that it’s more due to paranoia because sometimes he gets the sense others are talking about him in another language rather than due to his love of travel. That Alexis Bledel told him a story when he worked on Gilmore Girls about how she was getting her hair done and the hairdresser messed up and told her coworker about it in Spanish not thinking that Alexis spoke the language and could understand her. Which she does and she did, and afterward when she was paying she told them in Spanish that she heard them and she understood what they were saying. Jared would like to be able to do that; he’d like to learn Italian first because he loves Italy and if you know Italian you can get by in other countries where they speak Portuguese and Spanish.

Jensen makes a comment about them being the romance languages and Jared says he’s very romantic to which the fan goes “really you??” she’s super surprised which okay yes kind of a rude reaction but also it makes me laugh and I can understand their surprise cause here's the thing Jared is capable of being romantic, he can wax poetry about the person he loves, he can speak with so much devotion it sounds like worship and look at his spouse with so much love that it makes one want to weep. But he does all that with Jensen. So if you take their relationships at face value (meaning buy into the het image) then yeah, I can understand being genuinely shocked at him saying he's romantic.

It's all fun and games until Jared brings up G and says that his pick-up line with her was to tell her that she's hot and ask if she wanted some of this while pointing at himself which seems to irk Jensen a bit, and he gives his answer which is that he knows everything he needs to know. x

Has Jensen been able to easily adjust to doing shows in somebody else's house after spn, or has that presented challenges? This is something he was talking about with Jared the day previous.

It’s a unique situation and it's something he was familiar with many years ago but after being on spn, which was their house for so long as the co-lead on a show for 15yrs, and learning and growing as a person, actor, and craftsman in all facets of making a tv show, because he got to learn a lot doing Supernatural, coming unto a new show he sees things through a new lens. It gives him the opportunity to suggest solutions to problems production may be running into or if a director is having a problem blocking a scene or an actor is having a problem with their lines these are things he has a lot of practice with so he’s been utilized as a really effective tool on these sets which he finds humbling and gratifying at the same time. But also he finds himself having to bite his tongue a lot.

Jared says on that point that when it comes to Walker, Walker Indepence, and The Winchesters there are certain things producers could say to them on the shows they were in that can’t be said these days like you can’t say "hey buck up we have to get through the day" cause it’s considered bullying because of their position. At a difference from when he was in his teens, 20, and early 30s that you never now what anybody else is seeing so if you're in a certain mood or are coming to the set unprepared you need someone to tell you that, you need someone to be like 'hey man, tomorrow is a big day. I need you to be more prepared than today because you kind of fumbled and cost us an hour' but they're not necessarily allowed to say that right now because it can seem like coercion- it's a fine line that he thinks exists for a good reason because we're learning to be more compassionate towards others but sometimes you gotta get the job done but he can't say 'hey, show up on time.'

Jensen shares that he had a conversation with his director on Big Sky about this cause he went to Jensen and was trying to give him a note and he did so very eloquently and was giving him a scenario and talking about some sort of story but what he was really trying to say in so many words was “give me a better take” so later Jensen pulled him aside and told him he could just tell him he needed to be better. Because that’s the kind of feedback he and Jared were used to getting on spn. It was a no bs get the job done, everybody’s trying to make this the best product it can be don’t fumble the football type of environment, it was an old school mentality.

And now the directors are getting told that Jensen doesn’t need handholding to just tell him if you want him to do something and he'll do it or he'll tell you why he won't. So it’s been interesting for him to see that not everyone is like that and giving them the space to go through their process and how they approach a scene and how they take notes. Jensen says that the other day somebody gave a note to one of the actors on set and it kind of deflated the scene and the actor got in their head, and Jensen understood the note but says it was the wrong delivery.

It's unique now being in the position that he's been in these new shows and seeing how different it is out there and it has made him appreciate what he and Jared had on spn. x

In the finale, we find out Dean waited a long time outside Sam’s apartment, were there other times when Dean almost dropped in but backed out? Jensen jokes that Dean was constantly there hitting on college girls. x

What is the origin story of Scoobynatural? That is a great question.

Jensen answers that the idea came from the Scooby writers. They were big fans of SPN and thought it was a very similar formula to Scooby-Doo with Scooby being the Scooby gang solving mysteries every week and Supernatural being two brothers essentially solving a mystery every week so it was kind of an obvious marriage to them. And it was still in-house studio-wise and stuff so they took the idea to Dabb who jumped at the opportunity, and then the boys got the call and were really excited.

I say this with love but Jensen once again says the thing about spn and how it took chances and honestly I'm tired of hearing it. x

What’s their fav craft Colorado beer? Jared says there was one in his mini bar at his hotel that had a moose on it but he doesn't know what it's called, that during the pandemic he road tripped through parts of Colorado (really? you don't say, what a shocker) and the hotels would have the local craft beer. He also says that if they go to a restaurant and they have time they ask if the restaurant has any craft beers and they give them a try. And if you have doubts that the 'they' means he and Jensen, when Jared says "and if we go to a restaurant" he points and rotates himself towards Jensen. They go on dates and drink craft beer together.

Jensen’s fav is Face Down Brown Ale from Telluride Brewing Co. x

Jared makes a dumb joke but it's so cute cause he makes it while Jensen was selecting the next fan so when he gets no reaction he says the punch line like three times to get Jensen's attention 💕

The next question isn't really a question it's a fan who wants to pitch them an idea for an spn movie. Jensen says he knows there have been discussions about the future of spn and what it looks like. That it’s something he and Jared have talked about, and there are a few people discussing what it's gonna look like when the boys put their boots back on. x

The last question is for Jensen: is he easily impressed or easily amused? He would say amused. There’s much more in a day to day basis that amuses him than impresses him. x
