In an Interview, "One Tree Hill" alum, Colletti explained,
"It's one thing to kind of go through what we went through in our little adolescent love, high school relationship. We obviously learned a lot at that time in our life and you take that going forward,"
"But I think when you take that and you toss in a reality show where we knew we were obviously going on a TV show for MTV but really had no idea what it ultimately was going to be."

"And how it, first of all, was edited together and the stories were then shared with an audience, but then how receptive the audience was to it,"
"It was a thing where they wind up doing a few more seasons, they did spinoffs. And I think when you share a unique experience like that, and as we discovered during this podcast, it's a really unique thing to go through and you don't really have anybody to talk to about it,"
"We did a little reunion before the [2020] election, kind of a get out to vote, rallying to everybody. That experience was a positive one, I think that was also another spark that ignited the, 'you know what, this would be something that I feel like we could have a lot of fun with'. And just when Kris and I catch up, we always have a great time together."
"I've been wanting to do this for about five or six years and I actually had discussed it with MTV, I think back in 2018, for a minute, It was in a kind of a general meeting over a couple things, and I said I've been really kind of wanting to get into the podcast space for a while. It interests me. And I felt, like, really, the only interesting thing I had to say was a reflection on maybe what I did on Laguna Beach during that time."
"Kristin and I had briefly talked about it and she was like, 'Yeah, maybe we'll do it.' And then, I called her right away and we discussed it, We kind of made sure that we were on the same page about what we wanted to do with this, what it was going to be like. And then from there, Kristin was, of course, receptive to just going out and seeing if we'd find a partner that was on the same page with us. And thankfully, we found Dear Media."
"To be just completely honest, I have had a lot of meetings over the years about doing a podcast and I've almost pulled the trigger a couple times but there was something telling me not to, And so, at first, I was open to it but I was hesitant."
"Working with Stephen has been so much fun and so easy and a dream come true. But the fact that there [were] only 40 episodes was really appealing to me because there was an end date, I think that was my biggest concern with a podcast, in general, was that it would just continue on forever. And the timing of it worked out well with my schedule."
"I haven't watched the show since it aired when I was 18. I'm finally so emotionally removed from it that I felt like I could go back and watch it and just have fun with it. And so, everything just kind of came together. So I'm really excited that we're doing it. We've had so much fun. I have found it to be incredibly therapeutic, and it's just been a really great experience."
"a new chapter to a story that they're familiar with that's going to be chock-full of all sorts of shocking moments."
"It's an opportunity for these characters that they watched in this reality show, these people to go back and tell their story as opposed to having someone tell their story for them. To me, it's almost like an audiobook of what really happened, what happened behind the scenes. And then of course, what you didn't see, what didn't make it to air, necessarily, I think that that's one of the most intriguing parts."
"And also, in real-time with us, you're going to have us kind of remind ourselves what happened, what was on the show. Come to these moments of like, 'Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe this happened.' And be able to connect the dots on what the producers and editors built through every episode, and what had actually happened during that time."
