J2 Main Panel Nashcon 2022

The panel starts with some flirty!Jared saying 'you’re the only ten I see' to Jensen. x

Jared mentions that he’s heading to Australia, and Jensen says he’s looking forward to the holidays, that they have some fun plans, going to see some friends, and some family is visiting.

For all, he pretends to not like Jared's dad jokes Jensen is the one who encourages him, telling Jared to tell the dad joke about math: He loves dad jokes but they’re kind of pun-y, English puns kind of make him numb but math puns make him number. Jared, honey, no.

The boys say I love you to each other 🥰

Question time! This fan has taken to asking men this question on dating sites and they say it tells them a lot about the guy, so Ryan Reynolds or Gosling? Jared is team Reynolds, Jensen is team Gosling. The reason why Jensen is team Gosling is that he thinks Reynolds is always funny, has an incredible wit and he thoroughly enjoys his work but Reynolds can’t do Lars and the Real Girl, he can’t do Crazy, Stupid, Love, or pull off those incredibly unique interesting character arcs that Gosling can; to him, Gosling has better range and he can also do funny and do it very well. Like La La Land, that's something he can’t see Reynolds doing, so from a performer standpoint, what he’s capable of and what he brings to entertainment Gosling has the deeper well of talent in his opinion.

Jared agrees that Gosling probably has more talent when it comes to acting but says Reynolds could beat the shit out of him, and Jensen is like don’t underestimate the little guy look at what Tom Hardy did in jujitsu. He also says Jared only likes Reynold's cause he’s taller 😂

Jared also says that when you go to give Gosling a hug his toothpick which is always in his mouth when he does any performance would poke you in the neck and hurt. So he’s going toothpick free.

Jensen asks the fan what the answers tell her and she replies that she has found that the men who pick Gosling tend to be more romantic - Jared, did you have to stroke Jensen's arm in such a way? - but the men who like Reynolds are very active and love pranks and being funny. x

On the Talking Dead, Christian Serratos, who played Rosita said she didn't want her character to survive, did Jensen feel the same about Dean and that’s why he wanted him to go out the way he did? Jensen replies he didn't want him to go out the way he did, that he thinks that’s been well documented.

That the difference between these shows is that the element of supernatural is much more heavily involved in SPN than TWD, they don’t have people coming back in their original form they come back looking slightly different so he feels like that kind of closure situation doesn’t necessarily exist for characters in SPN, and that whether he went out or didn’t go out either way that’s not really a closure situation. And he doesn’t know if he and Jared will ever really have closure on the show or characters because in his opinion it ain’t closed yet.

Jared asks if anybody would want to see him and Jensen play Sam and Dean together again and the crowd starts screaming and cheering. Jensen says they too would like that. x

What was their favorite milestone birthday? Or is there a milestone birthday that they are thinking about that they want to have something accomplished by then? Jensen says his 40th was definitely a big one cause he was like 'I don’t have the excuse of my 20s or 30s anymore I might have to actually act like an adult which I don’t know this adulting thing, do they know I’m just running around out there completely unsupervised?'. That 40 was pretty great and it was largely due to the festivities that occurred that D and friends put on, that it was a pretty special birthday.

And before that he would have to go back 19yrs to when he turned 21 and he got 21 shots on a serving tray, of assorted liquor, and he cleaned it up all 21, that he had a pitcher of water it was like a food challenge- he does admit that he did go to the bathroom and forced himself to get some of that out but then he had a few more beers, went home, brushed his teeth and went to bed cause he was 21 and his body was like 'we can handle it'. Says he can’t do three shots now he’d be face down on the floor but he will say that was a memorable birthday and it’s great when you can be with friends and family and do something that you never forget, and he hopes he has many more of those in the future.

Jared says he guesses similar, that for him he was always kind of the youngest guy in the room. He had 8 older cousins that they’d go to Christmas or 4th of July so he was the young kid, in GG he was 17 everyone else was older, in SPN he was 22 he was the youngest guy on set, now at 40 people are looking to him for the sage wisdom and he’s like oh gosh I’m the old guy now. But he’ll say this he thinks the best compliment he’s ever had in his life is from a friend of theirs who had been one of Jensen’s stunt doubles, Jessie Blue, who when spn was ending he, Jake Able, and Jessie went to do a class and as they were saying goodbye Jessie looked at Jared and said: "I can’t wait to know you when you’re 60". So as he’s aged over the past couple of years, he's gotten a different perspective or a little more hindsight than he had a decade or two ago so he can’t wait to turn 60. x

What is their fav impromptu or unscripted thing that happened throughout the show? Jared says Eye of the Tiger is hard to beat. That it’s too difficult for him to go and watch the barn scene. Same babe, same 😭

But that the barn scene wasn’t- Jensen and Jared didn’t say what was written on the page for Sam and Dean exactly, they instead found their own bits of how they say goodbye to them and how they let them say goodbye to each other appropriately, and he thinks that their writers understood. The people who were behind the scenes joined through the later seasons so he and Jensen just had more time with those characters so they just made it their own as much as possible because they couldn’t really run the scene. They found it impossible to stifle the emotion behind the words.

Jared also mentions the ep were Sam is possessed and hurts Dean and Dean punches Sam (Born Under a Bad Sign) that was them feeling like that would be Dean's reaction in that moment. But the barn stands out.

Jensen mentions there are a lot to choose from that they were able to make those characters as tailored to them as possible and the process of doing that allowed them to explore a wide array of emotions with the character and try on new things and saying it in a different way and relating to each other in a different way so they had a big playground and a big sandbox to play with and thankfully the writers and producers trusted them with those characters to let them do what felt natural and right.

That a lot of the unscripted stuff can be seen on the gag reel but a lot of stuff was also kept, things that felt natural that were not in the script and he’s sure some can probably pick those moments out. Like the son of a bitch with the lottery ticket that was not scripted and if you look closely you can see Jared look away cause he was laughing so hard. So there are little moments like that that you can find; he’s tried to do this in some other roles he’s done he’s gotten to play similarly as Soldier Boy and even as now Beau on Big Sky. He thinks he’s built a reputation of somebody who you can't write specifically for because he’s going to go rogue but let him go rouge you might get something. And he’ll get texts from his showrunner whose in the editing bay asking 'did you mean to do this?' and Jensen will be like 'I don’t know, probably' and the showrunner will tell him that it's great that they're using it and Jensen will just go 'okay' that sometimes he doesn't even remember doing it. But he thinks that's just doing what they did for so long and establishing a comfortability with being able to play and he thinks that's one of the things he loves most about doing what he does, is that every day he gets to get on the set and do something different and he gets to play with that and that's a lot of fun and very fulfilling. x

Austin is the home of a pun off, what topic would they use for pun slingers? Jared says he didn’t know that but he’s super into pun-ography. I can't decide whether I hate that or like it.

Anyways, neither of them knew about this pun competition but Jensen says he’s putting money on next year's new entry. Jensen asks the fan if she has a good pun for them and she does! She can’t wait for an earthquake to happen because she wants to go to where there’s a hole in the ground and throw some change in because she wants to be generous to a fault. That was good!

Jared starts to say one but then says he forgot. Jensen says "speaking of cracked earth that shovel was a good invention huh what a groundbreaking invention that one." Then he says he’s entering the pun off next year. Jared does the boat pun, "I can row a boat. Canoe?" Then he starts to say one about his son and Jensen is so done 😂 Jared says his son asked him the other day if he could explain a solar eclipse to him and he told him no sun. I love the fact that Jensen tries so hard not to laugh and then breaks x

Has there ever been a time where they’re going about their day and they say or do something that they’re like wow that was Sam or that was Dean? Jared says, yes, all the time. He finds the argument interesting of did Jared become Sam or Sam become Jared or are they kind of fused to some degree but he thinks when his kids are going through certain scenarios or situations he tries to approach it like Sam. He tries to get outside of it and figure out what they might be feeling and why, almost investigatory; he thinks Sam and Dean try to figure out a puzzle and then approach it. He doesn’t know if it's who he is by nature and the writers wrote to that or if he learned it from Sam or if they learned it together but he feels like he tries very much to look at a topic or situation like he thinks Sam would.

Jensen says that he’s started jogging outside again, and he was out jogging like two weeks prior, and where he jogs it’s a two-lane jogging and bike path. And he’s cruising in the right lane and there’s a yellow line in the center dividing the two lanes, a couple bikes are passing him and it’s not very crowded so he pulls out his phone to find a playlist to listen to and he didn’t realize that he was kind of on the middle of the line and he looks up and there’s a cyclist, an older gentleman, heading his way but he’s like 30 yards away so Jensen gets back into his lane, and as the cyclist cruises by Jensen gives him a wave and the guy shouts at him "stay in your lane!". And Jensen says Dean Winchester came out of him so fast, he stopped, pulled out his headphones, and went "let’s go, old man! let’s go!" he was about to beat the crap out of him. And he doesn’t even know why it upset him so much, he has a pretty long fuse it takes quite a bit to get him to that point but not in that moment, Dean was locked and loaded and ready to go.

Jared says that on the plus side he's being safer that there was a lady in Austin who was jogging last week near the train tracks and the train came and it took off the left side of her body she’s all right now. This man. He told the story so seriously too all to make a pun.

Jared says he’s proud of that one then says that one of her legs did fall off so she changed her name to I lean and I swear it looks like he waits for Jensen to say the pun with him which Jensen reluctantly does. Jensen says Jared got in the car that morning and immediately started talking and from the first syllable out of his mouth, Jensen knew. x

If they could throw cold spaghetti at anyone who would it be? Doesn’t have to be malicious. Jensen says Richard Speight Jr. Jared says he would throw it at a chef who could heat it up so he could eat it. He would also throw it at somebody who is carnivore diet be like 'yeah, try some spaghetti'. That’s so random, my boy. x

The next one is not really a question it's letting them figure out how many times their characters have died. Also a lot of puns. x

What would they tackle if they ever decided to write? Jared says he has family friends with their kids who want to get into the industry, and he finds himself telling them stories about when he was starting or even now, and he would love to tell some stories about what his experience has been like because he thinks, and Jensen can vouch for this that it’s not as glorious as it looks, so he would love to let people know hey this is very fun right now but this was 15yrs of work to get to this place. Go with what you know he supposes, dealing with mental health too he would love to write about it but he doesn't have any answers for that he wouldn’t wanna give somebody advice his advice is to talk to a professional.

Jensen says he would probably write about the anxiety that fills him up due to this writing assignment. He is not good at it, never has been, he doesn’t seek to do it, and if he’s forced to do it he doesn’t like it. He saw something the other day, when you’re sitting bored on set you look on your phone, check email, and scroll through social media, and he keeps coming across these posts that are about how xyz react and one that stuck in his mind is one of how different generations react to bumping into a door jamb. Thinking about anxiety and how that’s not really a term that they had, it was something that was felt but there were no ways of coping with it or understanding it and it’s an interesting generation to be a part of where they learned to deal with it and move on so he thinks it would be interesting to see the juxtaposition with the other generations and how they deal with it given what we know now it might be interesting to dive in and learn about that and if he learned anything worth writing maybe he’d write about that. x

How do they feel about the way their characters and scenarios are interpreted differently by other people that might not be the way they see it? Jensen stands by his past comments that this is an art form that they get to do and luckily they have found an audience so they get to do it more but it is- he thinks early on he maybe took a little umbrage with what people were reading into maybe certain characteristics or certain storylines and then he realized it’s not up to him to tell others how to interpret what they want to interpret, or it’s not up to him to be disappointed if they’re not inspired by what he thought was inspiring or whatever it might be, and he realized, and he thinks they’ve talked about this, you don’t go into a gallery and have the artist standing next to you telling you what you need to see and if you don’t see it there’s something wrong. No, it is up to interpretation, and if it inspires you or makes you feel anything he thinks that's the whole point of art, it's the whole point of entertainment is to bring feeling and escapism. And feelings and connectivity all of that should be a part of it but they shouldn’t have to tell you that, that’s a gift they give and you get to enjoy it.

Jared agrees. He thinks the artist shouldn’t stand next to the painting in this proverbial situation but also the critic shouldn’t come in and go this is what this episode was about, this is what their relationship is about, this is what it means to me so this is what it needs to mean to all of you. It’s all incorrect, whether it’s art or life some people listen to Stairway to Heaven and think it’s about mortal coil that we live with and some think it's about LOTR and you’re like okay you’re both right but you shouldn't tell somebody else that they should think something about that because of what it means to you. And that’s great, it means to them what it means to them and that’s great.

That there’s objective and subjective so if you go to them and say 'hey Jensen, Jared, I just love the way y’all deal with aliens and their spaceships in supernatural' he’s gonna say they didn’t have any aliens and spaceships but if that’s what it means to you that’s great. He thinks that’s the wonderful part and why they’re there after so many years, it means something similar to a lot of us but it means something very unique to all of us as well; it means something different to him than it does Jensen even though they have such a shared experienced.

Jensen adds, no right answer no wrong answer. And Jared says it means to you what it means to you. x

If they could trade places with another celeb, besides the spn cast, who would it be? Jared says he thinks he would like to trade places with Elon Musk for a day inside his mind and then get the hell away from that, he just wants to know what that’s like and then get the hell away from whatever's going on.

Jensen says Harry Styles, who he had recently seen with his kids, that he has so much fun and gets to do it night after night after night for as long as he wants to but he wouldn’t want to be Harry all the time just when they’re on stage. He starts to say that he’s not a Harry Styles fan which makes Jared go "why not?" then says that he is now but it wasn’t because of his music. And I just love the way Jared says "it’s because he’s so cute" 💕

The reason Jensen is a fan is not because of his charm or his perfectly placed tattoos, it’s not any of that stuff it’s because of the light he emits on stage and gets filled up with his audience, it was such an incredible exchange of energy that he witnessed and he was like this guy is insanely entertaining and he is loving it. He’s not phoning it in or being there because it’s what he was paid to do he is up there because he absolutely 100% is loving every second of it. Jensen hopes we all get to feel like that, that was something really special that he got to witness. As a long-time Harry fan, it warms my heart that the boys have become fans of his 🥰

Last question! Do they trade with their siblings or have they seen their kids do it? Jared says during a con, they ended up somewhere and he hadn't packed clean undies so he asked Jensen and he still has it, it’s in his suitcase right now. Jared and Jensen share underwear, we been knew 😏 Jensen doesn’t think he has any kind of barter system with anybody. x

And with that we close off the last panel of 2022!
