They may have met as teen actors on the ’90s show Dawson’s Creek, but Busy Philipps and now-Oscar winner Michelle Williams are still very much BFFs in real life.

The pair took a trip to Massachusetts—which just so happened to be the setting of their TV series—this week, and they got around to reminiscing. In a series of Philipps’ signature diary-like Instagram stories, the two ladies dished about which co-stars they got to kiss while filming. If that sounds like a snippet Teen People would have run in 2001…  you’re probably right.

“So Michelle, you dated both Pacey and Dawson,” Philipps starts in the video (as Frank Ocean plays in the background).

Over the course of a few videos, as Williams lists her makeout partners (which includes “a threesome” and Michael Pitt), Philipps slowly realizes that her character… maybe only made out with one person during her time on the series.

Then Philipps gets to play the role of “civilian correspondent” and explain the success of former love interest Jensen Ackles to Williams, who has probably never heard of Supernatural

“They have their own comic cons,” she says. “They own a plane!”

As a cherry on top, the duo found an appropriately creek-y dock to stare pensively out at the horizon from:

Sometimes stars truly are just like us.
