10:00 J2 NJCon 2016 Gold Panel (v)
Jensen: Dean is essentially Jensen without coffee. He was upset his hotel room had no coffee lol.
The boys filmed late Friday night/Saturday morning so they’re kind of tired.
Jared went and saw Hamilton last night.
Jared (no context lol): “Form fitting sweaters…Magic Mr. Roger’s that shit.”
Jensen all morning: Are we still talking about Hamilton?
The boys learn that Misha started a fire during his m&g lol. Jensen jokes/puns that well he is hot and then jokes about what would happen in an m&g if they went off location (like how Misha does): “Misha started a fire, Jensen killed a guy.”
Jared loved last week’s episode. Said it was like old school Supernatural. MOTW episodes were what made him fall in love with Supernatural. Jensen to Jared: I thought I was the reason you fell in love with Supernatural.
Jensen inserts the Salmon Dean bit at one point lol.
A fan asks how much control they have over their image going out? Jensen: None. Jared: What’s less than one? More than negative one?
Jared says the genuine interest in him as a person, not just that he happens to be on a TV show, is what he has gotten from the spnfamily.
Jensen says he’s grateful the fans have made him feel like he belongs somewhere.
They talk about how when JDM was working on both Supernatural and Grey’s Anatomy, he was so fried that they had to put his dialogue on signs on them during scenes.
Jensen says that if you want to create tension you kill a favorite. Everyone: Charlie!
Jared says if he could be any inhuman character/creature he would be a Jedi.
Jared uses SuperWiki when he has a question about lore.
A fan asked about Jesse (the Antichrist kid) from season 5. Jared says he wants that storyline to be be tied up, suggests that maybe the MOL killed him.
Lol the time Jared was still drunk when he got to set (the day after they went out) and threw a shoe at the Antichrist and broke a prop couch. They went to a wine tasting dinner the night before and went to set at 8am the next morning. Some of them drank too much. Jensen says that Jared was a bull in a China shop. Jared says that he kind of remembers getting to set and was giggling and stumbling around, throwing his shoe. He sat on the back of the couch and it flopped over. Jensen: the whole crew is just standing there watching this happening. The AD told Jared to go sleep it off in his trailer. Jared went and woke up a couple hours later confused as to why he was asleep in his trailer lol. (Vid link: x)
Fan: How would Dean and Sam react if Mary was possessed by Lucifer? Jensen: Well, not good. It’s hard for them to confront anyone they care about like that.
Fan brings up that Jensen used to model when he was younger. Jensen: Still am *pops hip out* says that his mom made him do modelling. He still has the brick pants in a shadow box at home.
Gold panel ends: Jensen says thank you. Jared blows kisses and says love you.

Jared M&G question – (x)
i essentially asked jared this: “the show has had this trope of having sam constantly have to work with his abusers but never addresses the after effects. last season he had to work with lucifer, and lucifer was even in his room, and cole the season before that, and gadreel before that. and most recently there was his torture and sexual assault from toni, who i have a feeling he’ll now have to work with. so do you think sam has any trauma and ptsd and struggles working with them?”
jared said that he thought that of course sam had trauma, a lot of trauma, from all these events and these people. but he went on to say that he thinks sam is a character who constantly feels like he needs forgiveness – that he needs to be forgiven for the things he’s done wrong in his life. and because sam always feels like he needs to be forgiven, that makes him feel like he needs to forgive others in return for the wrongs they’ve done. he said that sam doesn’t want to work with them, nor forgive them, and it’s hard for him in these situations and of course the trauma is real and present for sam, but sam also knows that when he is working with them it’s typically born from necessity, so he has to kind of shoulder his own demons and work with these people despite what they’ve done. so it boiled down to jared saying that yes, sam has a great deal amount of trauma, but he will stomach that/ignore that because sam is a character that feels like he needs to be forgiven and therefore has to give forgiveness back and also because of the situations of the boys’ life also jared seemed a little shocked/interested by the question, said it was one he didn’t think anyone had really asked or put together, but he appreciated the weight of it and definitely took his time to answer seriously and think about sam and sam’s headspace, which i truly appreciated.

J2 NJCon 2016 Main Panel (v)
How to tell Rich and Rob apart, per Jensen: Benedict vs Still-a-Dick.
Jared: We are halfway through shooting s12. Jensen: And not even halfway through the series!
Jared: How are y’all enjoying s12? How are you enjoying Sam’s torture scenes? Crowd cheers. Jared: Hey, screw you! lol
Fan: I’m Sam. Jared: I’m Sam! And Dean!
Fan: If you could change one thing about your characters’ life and habits, what would it be? Jensen: We only get one? Are you serious?
Jensen says it’d be nice if the brothers could say in a hotel once not a motel. Jensen: “Why can’t we ever torture somebody in a Four Seasons?” Jared: “Or maybe we hunt demons in Hawaii…”
Jared says he would choose to erase the memories of women he loves burning on the ceiling.
Jensen says they often film scenes in buildings condemned because of asbestos. The crew wear hazmat suits but J2 have to be dressed for the scene.
Fan has an odd name. Jared refuses to let her repeat it until he hears what Jensen thinks she said lol.
Jared broke his mic after a couple of mic drops so Jensen was holding his mic up for Jared to talk into 😛
Lots of teasing between the boys.
Jared to the fans asking questions: “Your name is Sam and your name is Jess?” *turns to next fan in line* “I can’t wait to find out what YOUR name is.” Next fan is a Kim, Jared loses his shit lol. Jensen: “I think she said Alexandria.”
Jensen’s favorite Ben Edlund ep is French Mistake.
Fan: Can you give us teasers for upcoming episodes? J2: DID YOU NOTICE OUR BOSS WAS JUST ON STAGE?
Jensen: Dean has a Yellow Fever type episode coming up. Funny ep; says it’s his fav script of the season so far.
Next fan: My name is Genevieve Danneel (lol!) Jared acts like that one doesn’t ring a bell. Jensen: Couple of weird names!
Fan: What’s on repeat on your iTunes? Jared: Lately the same thing for both of us, a lot of Kaleo.
Jared: “I heard ‘Invisible Touch’ on the radio the other week and thought, I haven’t been through a Phil Collins phase in a while!”
Fan: Sorry Jensen, my question is for Jared. Jensen pouts. Someone brings Jared Starbucks. Jensen slowly turns his pout to them
Fan: What was it like coming back to Gilmore Girls? Jared: Oh, you mean the original Dean?
Jared talks about when he first filmed for GG, how he was planning to go to UT Austin after and be an engineer.
Jared says parents are proud of their college dropout. Jensen: “Not dropout if you never went! We have the exact same story.” J2 both registered for college, got books, schedules and roommates – but never actually showed up. “Technically, we did drop out.”
Jensen to Jared: You are the second girl to play my sister Samantha. Jared: I love Alison Sweeney. I’m cool with that.
Jensen asked if Jared walked more bowlegged when he went back to GG as Dean.
Fan asks what their favorite scary movie is. Jensen: The Shining for both of us, but more recent, Strangers. Jared: That’s what I was gonna say!
Jensen asked a small boy what his favorite scary movie is. Kid: New York Minute! Jensen: “…that is when you drop the mic.”
Genevieve apparently got scared because of a horror movie and Jared had to support her.
Jensen began a story by turning to Jared and saying: I don’t think I’ve ever told you this one.
Jensen thought the Blair Witch Project was real when he first saw it because his roommate told him it was real found footage. He was terrified lmao.

Fan: Do you consider yourselves brothers in real life? Jared: There’s such a thing as real life? Jensen, before answering about their bond, tells Jared to do ear muffs. Says that they do consider themselves to be brothers in real life, they just don’t want to admit it <3
Girl mentions how close they are. “So I was just wondering-” Jensen: IF WE’RE EVER APART?
When either Jensen or Jared’s kids get sick, they know the other one’s kids will get sick, too aww.
Jared: When they finally call “that’s a wrap” on Supernatural…that’ll be a tough shooting day to get through. :’(
Jensen talks about one of his buddies telling him about his friendship with his best friend. How it’s nice to work with “a friend, a dear friend, and a best friend, and how special that is.” How they are still best friends and always will be, and how they still live down the road from one another. Jensen found solace in hearing that and knowing that he and Jared are in the same situation.
Fan: Who’s more competitive? Jared: Oh, I’m more competitive. I’ll beat you right now in being competitive! lol.
J2 are both competitive, but not with each other. They team up! That way they can be “supernaturally” competitive.
Jensen sings Golden Girls theme song. Jared: He’s practicing for next con’s SNS. We’re going to dress up as the Golden Girls.
Jared used to fall asleep as Golden Girls came on. Jensen: Someday people will fall asleep between episodes of SPN and Grey’s Anatomy.
Jared: I’m a Dean girl myself.
Jensen: We have a saying on set – “no joke too cheap!”
What other shows should have been on Changing Channels? Jensen wants Baywatch. Girl runs by in slow motion, Dean turns to follow in slow motion.
Fan: Which superhero would you be and why? Jared: Doomsday! Jensen: Catwoman!
Another tweet: Jared: Catwoman! Jensen: *considers it* Oh, I’d make a mean Catwoman!
Jared goes on a tangent. Jensen: Stop talking! *folds over laughing into hand* Jared keeps egging Jensen. Jensen: Stop! Turn off his microphone!
Jared wants a foot 5 from Jensen. Jensen: I’ll foot 5 your face! (actual brothers lol).
Jensen’s fav performance from Jared was either Lucifer or Gadreel.
Jared’s favorite moments of Jensen’s are when we get to see Dean’s vulnerability. His fav performances of Jensen are the emotional scenes.
Jared on Jensen: “It’s hard to play a tough guy and be able to tap into that vulnerability.”
J2 are telling kid stories together.
Tom and Shep have fly temporary tattoos, which they put on so it looks like a fly landed on their skin.
Jared tried to make Tom feel better about his fake scars by showing him that they’re like a temporary tattoo. Jared put a fake wound on Tom. After putting it on, Tom freaked out because he thought it was real. Jared recorded it lol. Jensen does an imitation of Tom’s reaction when he saw the fake injury makeup.
Jared is literally giving a fan parenting advice about whether it’s okay for her kids to watch SPN and it’s the cutest fucking thing.
Jared really wants to explore Sam’s relationship with his mom more this season.
Jensen wants to see an “All star gang” fighting crime on SPN.
Jensen: “It is always nice *cough, cough* BOB…to get some fan favorites back on the show.”
Jared says look at Singer because show wouldn’t exist without him. Says more nice things, then goes: So if show ever ends, find him!! lol
Jared walked a crying fan off stage, hugged them, and then did an “adorkable” dance back up on stage.
As they exit off stage, Jensen starts playing with the keyboards. Jared sees him and immediately joins in 🙂
