00:00Jonathan Davis is standing off camera about to throw a ping pong ball at my face.
00:04No, I'm not. Why would you even suggest that?
00:06Why are you holding the ball like that then?
00:07Why don't you keep doing the interview?
00:08I'm going to keep doing the interview.
00:18This is one of our main filming locations for season four of Outer Banks and we call it Poglandia.
00:24Let's take a tour.
00:26Look at this thing.
00:27It actually took three weeks to design this and it took about two months to actually put it together.
00:32A lot of the font is based on this guy's character right here.
00:34JJ.
00:35So a lot of this stuff right here.
00:36That's my handwriting.
00:37That's his fictional handwriting.
00:39Bruce the shark.
00:40We just kind of found him in a salvage yard.
00:42The director did and thought, you know, this would probably look cool outside the front.
00:46So this isn't built for the show.
00:47This is for really for real.
00:48So we don't know whose this is or why you had it, but thank you.
00:51Fat lie.
00:52We didn't reel that thing in.
00:53Your trash is our treasure.
00:58So this is the shack.
00:59The bottom floor of this is kind of your be all ends all for all water based activities.
01:04We've got fishing poles.
01:06We've got life preservers, scuba gear.
01:09We have.
01:10This is our trunk.
01:11Don't touch it.
01:12Yeah.
01:13We'll get to that later.
01:14Don't open that.
01:15It's just kind of this idea that after they have figured out that they want to create home.
01:20This is what their idea of how to make a sustainable income was.
01:24For the past three seasons, we've seen a level of just real instability, a lot of turmoil in their lives.
01:31And what they really, really hoped to find is what is their home.
01:35What he's saying is we built our home.
01:37We did it.
01:38Home is where the rusted bolts and the moldy wood is.
01:42And if you'll bring your attention to the second floor, this is our pulley system.
01:48Where we pulley things.
01:50Could be something as simple as a beer.
01:53Actually, I could use a refill from the bar maybe.
01:56Oh yeah.
01:57Up here is our employees only lounge area.
02:01So if we need a quick snack from downstairs, pulley system.
02:05Pulls it upstairs.
02:06Helps with that.
02:11Around Poglandia, we've kind of decorated it in a way that the Pogues would have decorated it.
02:16This photo right here in particular is probably my favorite.
02:20It's just a very bizarre photo of a kid and an insanely large fish.
02:25Our set decorator, Missy, actually has a band right here.
02:28Missy and the Meerkats.
02:29That's not actually her.
02:31She actually isn't in a band.
02:33I actually don't know.
02:34Is it her?
02:35Does she have a for real band?
02:37That is actually Missy.
02:38Holy ****.
02:39And she hasn't said anything?
02:41Okay, well this is Missy's band, Missy and the Meerkats.
02:43So check them out Fridays at 9.
02:45Holy cow.
02:46The head of our art department, Dan Novotny, had an idea that we would have sort of a merch section of the shop.
02:53And as you can see here, we have all these super, super cool designs done by him.
02:57The idea was that the Pogues had done these by hand in every single aspect of the show.
03:03Him and Missy have really brought this to life.
03:05You know, the surfboards on the walls.
03:07These are basically supposed to be hand painted by Key.
03:10Even the floorboards of Poglandia.
03:13It feels lived in.
03:14It feels raw.
03:16It feels exactly what you would expect this group of kids who really has no experience in any manual labor or building sound structures to do.
03:27Another really cool thing that the OVX production did on season 4 is incorporate things that the town had.
03:32This is from a store on Pitt Street called Howls.
03:35Howls Pharmacy.
03:36Rudy. Rudy.
03:38This is my favorite part. Chicken.
03:39That's my soccer skills.
03:41Missed.
03:42Damn it.
03:43And then another...
03:47Alright, and then this is also another cool thing about the show is that we incorporate our crew yet again.
03:52Gotta give a little shout out to Joey on our marine unit.
03:56Keeps us safe out there.
03:57I'm sure he caught those himself.
03:59And then Missy yet again.
04:00I have a really fun fact.
04:01I like to play a fun game whenever we shoot in Poglandia.
04:04These chips are all expired.
04:07And we shoot a lot of overnight stuff here.
04:10I did steal two packets of rock top bombs.
04:12You stole rock the other night.
04:13Those voodoo chips.
04:14And I've eaten many, many bags of expired chips at 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock in the morning in here.
04:19Tasted great though.
04:20I'm good.
04:21I think.
04:22Most of this stuff is expired now that I'm looking at it.
04:25Still tastes fine.
04:26I wouldn't touch it.
04:27Who's the best people out there?
04:30If you want to get your a** beat.
04:32I want to see the realness, man.
04:34Oh, let's play right here.
04:36Oh, that's definitely going to work.
04:38That's one point for me.
04:40You're serving.
04:41Let me serve.
04:42Okay, go ahead.
04:43Look at how small this thing is.
04:46Not so easy, is it?
04:48All right, all right.
04:49Zendaya could never.
04:50Zendaya could never.
04:52Sorry.
04:54I actually hit the ball back that time.
04:55You did.
04:56Look, let's agree.
04:57First person to actually return serve wins.
04:59All right.
05:00This is how the Pogues do basically everything.
05:10Solid.
05:11All right.
05:13Now it's time to go upstairs to obviously the employees only area.
05:17It looks really janky.
05:18And it may seem really janky, but our construction team, they do such an incredible job.
05:23I mean, even if you look at the stairs, they look super off-kiltered and they're aged insanely well.
05:29But every single piece of wood was brand new when we got it.
05:32So welcome.
05:33Welcome to the upstairs of Poglandia.
05:34It is sort of the Pogues hangout.
05:36This has been a really cool spot.
05:38We've got a lot of really, really cool scenes up here.
05:40My favorite scene this season actually happens to be up there.
05:44We did a flashback scene to the opening scene from Season 1 of John B Standing with one foot hanging off the roof.
05:51We recreated that up there.
05:53It was a really cool full circle moment because the show started as hopes for us.
05:58This idea and this want to do something that we all were really, really proud of.
06:03And to recreate that on the Pogues new home is a really special moment.
06:07This is sort of a full culmination of a want to recreate what was once John B's house, which was their safe haven for so long.
06:16And after the chateau was burnt down, I think this is our version of it.
06:21And if you kind of look around, a lot of the pieces that are sort of Easter egged in here are pieces that were remnants of the burning of the chateau.
06:28And it's sort of our homage to what was once and is now gone.
06:33Also, fun fact, these sales right here are actual Hobie Cat sales.
06:36They're vintage. They're super cool.
06:38They're kind of loud, so our sound department hates them a ton.
06:41But they look sick, so we keep them up.
06:43If you take a peek, he's over in the camera left.
06:46JJ's handiwork is just there.
06:49Be a symbol of hope yet again.
06:50The Phoenix chicken rises.
06:52Try to get it registered as its own country with flagging committee, but they flagged it.
06:57They flagged our flag.
06:58They flagged our flag.
06:59I really like the different license plates.
07:02Got my little state I was born in right there, Tennessee.
07:05You're the only 10 I see, Jonathan.
07:07Well, you know what, Chase?
07:08You're the other 10 I see.
07:09Wow, that's great.
07:10Actually, this is another really random fun fact, and I don't know if this was intentional by the art department in Set Tech,
07:16but one of my dear friends, Kenny Chesney, in his house, he, on his ceilings, has license plates from all the shows he's played over his career.
07:24And I am in this moment realizing that this is kind of a very similar low-rent version of Kenny's bar in St. John's.
07:31So I adore you, my friend, and maybe you'll appreciate this a little bit.
07:42Our favorite place on this set, besides obviously working, is Craftlandia, where we see the ladies themselves all hanging out.
07:50Honk if you're snacky.
07:51I would love a baddie snack.
07:53So we have everything here.
07:54One of our favorites is Miss Vicky's jalapeno chips.
07:57These right here.
07:58I don't know about this.
07:59The Super Truths.
08:00The Super Truth 3000s.
08:02Yeah.
08:03Jalapeno chips.
08:04It's really an actor's paradise.
08:05It's also the worst thing that we can have as well, because we will spend so much time here, and sometimes our PAs get a little bit frustrated with us.
08:13They don't actually let me drive the van.
08:17They should.
08:18I remember my first time.
08:20Nine Brands make a new idea of making Twinkies with a Twinkie.
08:24Well, patent pending.
08:25We're going to have Twinkies shaped like a Twinkie.
08:29You're going to make Twinkies that look like the Twinkie at Poglandia, right?
08:33I'm working on it.
08:34Yeah.
08:35Even like a spicy flavor.
08:36A spicy Twinkie?
08:37Spicy ones.
08:38You know what we need to get over here?
08:40We need like spicy beef patties.
08:42Oh.
08:43And chicken patties.
08:45Jonathan.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Oh.
08:49Chop.
08:51Oh.
08:53Thank you, EW, for spending your day with us here at Poglandia.
08:57Outer Banks Season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.
08:59I feel pretty good about that.
09:00Yeah.
09:01Yeah.
09:02Ow!
09:03Come on, crime.
09:04Davis.
09:05Oh, there it is.
09:06It's awesome.
09:07Back to relax and we go.
09:09Oh my god.
09:10Get out of here, Gabe.
09:11See the stretch?
