Speaker 1: And That's what You Really Missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin An iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome to my and That's what You Really miss Podcast
Speaker 1: recap edition.
Speaker 2: Hi Kevin, Hey Jenna, Thanks every much for being here today.
Speaker 2: We have It's a fat episode because it's a competition episode.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this in the shower this morning,
Speaker 1: and I was thinking, why does it feel like a
Speaker 1: fat episode? And it is because it's a competition. But
Speaker 1: when you watch it, it may not feel as fat to
Speaker 1: people as it does for us like it felt. I
Speaker 1: watched it and I was like, oh, that was a
Speaker 1: good episode, solid episode. Didn't feel as full as it
Speaker 1: felt back.
Speaker 2: No, All I think about when I see us on
Speaker 2: stage is how long we were on that stage doing that.
Speaker 1: Dance well exactly and in that theater. And I think
Speaker 1: it's because we were in those theaters for such a
Speaker 1: long time that the shooting feels so full. Because anytime
Speaker 1: you're at a competition, you're like, we're in for it,
Speaker 1: We're in for it. You know it's going to be
Speaker 1: a long one. You know this episode is going to
Speaker 1: take forever. So much rehearsal for these numbers, I mean,
Speaker 1: it was it's a lot so, but.
Speaker 2: I will say this episode has so many I feel
Speaker 2: like classic Glee numbers in it. Yes, like when I
Speaker 2: think about Glee, I think about some of these numbers specifically,
Speaker 2: and I didn't even remember they were all in one episode. Yes, agreed,
Speaker 2: important episode in Glee her.
Speaker 1: History it is, I also noticed, and we'll we can
Speaker 1: talk about it when we get there, but we this
Speaker 1: is when the dialogue gets really fast. We start speaking
Speaker 1: so fast. Really, I mean, go back and watch our
Speaker 1: scene we're the cheerleader. I'm speaking so fast, and I
Speaker 1: remember it because I feel like Leah said the tone
Speaker 1: with that because of Rachel. But then everybody kind of
Speaker 1: caught onto that, and then it was like if you
Speaker 1: don't you realize, if you don't say your line's that fast,
Speaker 1: they'll get cut.
Speaker 2: And we also have to fit in extra music, so
Speaker 2: there's a lot of story that has to happen, and
Speaker 2: so we have to just talk quickly, like it's a
Speaker 2: Shonda Rhyme show.
Speaker 1: And I remember after Glee was over and I had
Speaker 1: a bunch of auditions which I didn't book, I would
Speaker 1: speak so quickly and I could not rid myself of
Speaker 1: the Glee tone or Tina because we are so used
Speaker 1: to speaking so freaking fast.
Speaker 2: Yep, Okay. I had the exact same experience minus the
Speaker 2: first audition I had during Glee. I was sitting down
Speaker 2: and didn't move my legs, and I realized halfway through,
Speaker 2: like the second scene or something, and then I completely
Speaker 2: psyched myself out and I completely screwed up the entire
Speaker 2: audition because then I was all in my head thinking
Speaker 2: about my eggs, and it's like, well, I don't know
Speaker 2: what to do with my legs now. Anyway, that's the
Speaker 2: side of the point, okay. Season two, episode nine, Special Education.
Speaker 2: This originally aired on November thirtieth, twenty ten in the
Speaker 2: News Jennet it was the number one song in the country.
Speaker 1: Only girl in the World fail.
Speaker 2: I love that song. The number one movie was still
Speaker 2: Harry Potter and Death The Allis Part one and.
Speaker 1: In Glean News this Week. On November thirtieth, twenty ten,
Speaker 1: same day as the episode Glee, the volume Glee the
Speaker 1: Music Volume four was released. The album featured eighteen tracks
Speaker 1: from nine episodes in season two minus episode two, Season
Speaker 1: two episode five. It was on iTunes and CD. And
Speaker 1: it's crazy that we're already at a.
Speaker 2: Volume four this was my favorite album cover that we had.
Speaker 1: I loved this one. I thought it was very cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why loved this album packaging.
Speaker 1: We have our favorite, one of our favorite directors back. Yes,
Speaker 1: mister Paris Barclay.
Speaker 2: The one and only Paris. I knew it too. Happy
Speaker 2: to the episode is like, I think Paris did this.
Speaker 1: I try the same thing. It took me a minute
Speaker 1: for some read. I always think Beeker does these now,
Speaker 1: but we haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 2: No, if Paris directed the shit out of this, yes
Speaker 2: he did, because it is also I feel like this
Speaker 2: script must have been long because there's a lot happening
Speaker 2: in it, so that's probably why we were and he
Speaker 2: covered all of that and more.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, we have some songs. We have an array
Speaker 1: of songs. We have don't cry from me, Argentina. We
Speaker 1: have the living years. We have Heyesel's sister. We have
Speaker 1: had the time of my life. We have Valerie and
Speaker 1: dog days are over. That is all.
Speaker 2: That's right. That's a lot of music, and we were
Speaker 2: playing long versions of those competition songs, so that ate
Speaker 2: up a lot. I remember in the scripts when you
Speaker 2: would start to see the song in the script, and
Speaker 2: it was written differently, like how long? How much of
Speaker 2: the script is this taking up? She knew it would
Speaker 2: cut into all the other storylines.
Speaker 1: The living years is very funny, and I forgot about that.
Speaker 2: Memory so funny. I can't wait to talk about that one.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So in this episode, it's sectionals, but the Glee Club
Speaker 2: may be falling apart at the same time as some
Speaker 2: relationships start to crumble. Kurt is adjusting to his new
Speaker 2: life as a Warbler, and Emma surprises Will with some
Speaker 2: news about her and doctor Carl.
Speaker 1: Totally forgot about this too.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I did too.
Speaker 1: You didn't remember, Okay.
Speaker 2: You know, living in a small town, moving quickly.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about sectionals, yes, and the setlist. So
Speaker 1: the fact that we don't have a setlist at is.
Speaker 2: Is recurring theme here. Will Shuster is it very questionable teacher?
Speaker 1: Exactly? His name? Prep is not great?
Speaker 2: So but I guess it's like an extracurricular though, right,
Speaker 2: Like he's a Spanish teacher. So glee club is yeah.
Speaker 1: But it's this main thing, let's be real.
Speaker 2: I guess you're right.
Speaker 1: So he invites Emma as his plus one to sectionals
Speaker 1: and then she's like totally totally guesses, I don't know
Speaker 1: how guesses how mister Shue is what the setlist is
Speaker 1: going to look like. And she's like, let me yes,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a solo from Rachel and Finn and
Speaker 1: it's going to be you know, Mercedes pulling out the
Speaker 1: steps and he's like, wait, how did you know? And
Speaker 1: then she points out that she realized from Rocky Horror
Speaker 1: that the Glee Club is full of talent and he
Speaker 1: may not be utilizing all of them because they may
Speaker 1: not shine as bright as the other stars. And I
Speaker 1: think she's right.
Speaker 2: I think she has it. Yeah, it's one of those
Speaker 2: things where that's the show commenting on itself exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: So he agrees, and he's like all right, and he
Speaker 1: thinks that the duet partner should take the lead on
Speaker 1: this one, and it's gonna be Sam and Quinn, which
Speaker 1: is very cute Ken and Barbie akah, and then Quinn
Speaker 1: has this very harsh line to Rachel and I noticed
Speaker 1: that this was like I felt this one, I like
Speaker 1: a gut punch and I was like, oh wow, that
Speaker 1: wasn't mean, like we got we got mean.
Speaker 2: For a sec that happens a couple of times in
Speaker 2: this episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure, and Mike and Mike and
Speaker 1: Brittany are gonna have a dance solo, which is gonna
Speaker 1: be great, and then Rachel is very upset about it,
Speaker 1: which we'll see later. But uh, Finn and Rachel are
Speaker 1: also like, what are you trying to throw this competition?
Speaker 1: And everybody starts kind of arguing, and Santana spills the
Speaker 1: truth about her and Finn hooking up and Finn's whole lie.
Speaker 2: Do you remember filming the scene? No, I just remember
Speaker 2: it is because everybody had a lot of different people
Speaker 2: had dialogue and we had to cover. Oh maybe this
Speaker 2: whole thing about talking faster is checking out because I
Speaker 2: remember we had we rehearsed it over and over and over,
Speaker 2: so everyone got their shit tight because there was so
Speaker 2: much because I think Paris probably went into this knowing
Speaker 2: the script was long. And also this this scene takes
Speaker 2: you a lot of places. It's mm hmm, wait, everybody,
Speaker 2: hold on, I have an announcement. Announcement since everybody into chaos,
Speaker 2: and then it's Santana revealing this gigantic thing, and also
Speaker 2: you know, Finn getting upset, which doesn't really happen about
Speaker 2: Glee Club, and there was a lot happening, and it
Speaker 2: just moves at such a fast clip and it works perfectly. Right.
Speaker 2: The next part is I loved the scene. I really
Speaker 2: loved already scenes with Brittany and Tina this episode because
Speaker 2: we didn't necessarily get a lot of these little weird
Speaker 2: one off scenes. Yes, and it was great, but especially
Speaker 2: this one. Brittany is paralyzed with fear even though she
Speaker 2: knows she's better than all of us, and so Artie
Speaker 2: convinces her to take his magic comb and that will
Speaker 2: make them win.
Speaker 1: It's cute, It's really cute. It is very cute, and
Speaker 1: also her just standing in the corner was also very funny,
Speaker 1: just by herself paralyzed with fear.
Speaker 2: The other thing is, we're down a member because Kurt's gone, right,
Speaker 2: so shee enlists Puck because everyone likes him or is
Speaker 2: afraid of him, and so he goes on this pretty
Speaker 2: funny journey to get the one and only Zis, which
Speaker 2: is Ashley Fink, who ends up becoming a part of
Speaker 2: the Glee Club for a long time and Glee fam forever.
Speaker 2: So that was also like a very outside of the
Speaker 2: show monumental thing. You know, it was a big personal
Speaker 2: change for us in a great way.
Speaker 1: It was. It was very exciting and I forgot about
Speaker 1: I totally had forgotten about that.
Speaker 2: What is it with everybody ending up in a porta potty?
Speaker 2: I do like it. It makes me feel better that,
Speaker 2: you know, Puck gets into a port after twenty four hours. Yeah,
Speaker 2: praying to Buddha Alla Satan.
Speaker 1: My gosh. But it's very exciting to have Zics there.
Speaker 1: And Ashley think obviously, who really becomes a very important
Speaker 1: part of the glee club, doesn't she? Ye? Okay, So
Speaker 1: Puck's in the get stuck in a poor body. And
Speaker 1: then we get to sectionals where we do have a so.
Speaker 2: We have a set list, but everybody hates each other.
Speaker 2: Everybody everyone's unhinged.
Speaker 1: Yeah, stuff gets weird, and and then we have people
Speaker 1: who are performing weird weird numbers. Can we talk about
Speaker 1: the numbers of the other glee clubs?
Speaker 2: Yes? Please talk about the Living Years?
Speaker 1: Okay? So the Living Years is by the Hipsters, which
Speaker 1: so ian to write that was so the lead singer
Speaker 1: of the Hipsters is Luanne, who was our other two
Speaker 1: Davis who was our lyric Master and amongst them thousands
Speaker 1: of hats that he wore. But Luanne was kind of
Speaker 1: took over Tim when things got a little too crazy
Speaker 1: for him and he had time. Yeah, And so Leanne
Speaker 1: was on set with us, and then she starred in
Speaker 1: The Hipsters and that's actually her singing too.
Speaker 2: I believe. I think you're right because so then the
Speaker 2: other woman who's singing in it, do you remember this,
Speaker 2: uh huhm is the one singing the Circle of Life
Speaker 2: and the Lion King. That's right, And they a lot
Speaker 2: of those people in the Hipsters were a part of
Speaker 2: that choir for the Circle of Life.
Speaker 1: Right, Kevin good memory. Oh what a.
Speaker 2: Special time because when Lunn.
Speaker 1: Is the nicest, I know, the sweetest.
Speaker 2: Person, and that came up somehow and I remember going
Speaker 2: up to is this true? And she was sort of like,
Speaker 2: She's like, yeah, it is. She was like, why haven't
Speaker 2: you led with that? That is the coolest thing. We
Speaker 2: were so starstruck the rest of the day and I
Speaker 2: felt so bad that they all had to be dressed
Speaker 2: up like that. These are legends. It was funny.
Speaker 1: What theater were we in in La? Do you remember?
Speaker 2: No idea?
Speaker 1: Hard to say? Okay, we did.
Speaker 2: So many different theaters and we skipped around every competition,
Speaker 2: didn't a lot of the time.
Speaker 1: I remember by the dress, but I can't remember this one.
Speaker 2: So Jenna, do you remember we did not learn a
Speaker 2: lot of this choreography until the night like the night
Speaker 2: before I think we had maybe thirty minutes what and
Speaker 2: then the morning of we learned most of it. No,
Speaker 2: and that going over, I remember Zach looking so panicked
Speaker 2: because it was one of those things where we were
Speaker 2: so overscheduled where we didn't have time to learn the
Speaker 2: actual competition dance. And I remember it was Ashley's first
Speaker 2: competition with us, and we're like, we are so sorry.
Speaker 2: It is not normally like this, but we sort of,
Speaker 2: you know, like Heather and Harry obviously knew their thing
Speaker 2: with Naya. They had that all sorted out, but we
Speaker 2: didn't know what we were doing behind them, and we
Speaker 2: learned all of that on the day. Yes, and it
Speaker 2: was rough, I.
Speaker 1: Remember, And I also when watching this was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm doing in this in this number
Speaker 1: and it made sense, that makes sense now. It was
Speaker 1: very off the cover. Yeah, this is when it started
Speaker 1: to get really crazy. But think about it, we had
Speaker 1: so much to shoot. There were so many things going on,
Speaker 1: and then a whole sectionals to boot and a whole
Speaker 1: new choir that's going to be around for a very
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, so there's a lot blessed Paris Barklay's
Speaker 1: heart for taking on this monster episode.
Speaker 2: That edit really made us look great.
Speaker 1: Great, and also it felt so smooth. It didn't feel
Speaker 1: clunky like well, like it was when we were shooting
Speaker 1: in No. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: This is I want to have. Have the scene though in
Speaker 2: the greenroom right before we performed.
Speaker 1: There's a whole thing happening. Tell me about it.
Speaker 2: Well, it's way if you've been listening thus far to
Speaker 2: us on the podcast, these green room scenes are the
Speaker 2: band of our existence because there are about eighty of
Speaker 2: us and one room, and the camera has to shoot
Speaker 2: everybody from every angle right right. However, we were in
Speaker 2: there a hot minute. But this was not a bad
Speaker 2: experience at all.
Speaker 1: No, it was not.
Speaker 2: And I think we were getting better each time, and
Speaker 2: this was even better than the time before. And there
Speaker 2: was so much drama going on and people yelling at
Speaker 2: each other, and it was so fun to watch and
Speaker 2: also be a part of.
Speaker 1: It was really fun to watch, I think because Paris
Speaker 1: did it very strategically. Yes, everybody wasn't in every part
Speaker 1: of it, and that's what it was. It was corners.
Speaker 1: Tina and Mike were in a corner and Heather are
Speaker 1: hardy in Brittany.
Speaker 2: We were tied together. Yeah, we were. Our story was
Speaker 2: happening in one section.
Speaker 1: But like you shot it and you just see like
Speaker 1: maybees icys in the background of Tina and Mike and
Speaker 1: that's it. So we didn't feel as a monster where
Speaker 1: you're in the room every time somebody's you know, coverage
Speaker 1: is getting shot. And I think that might have also
Speaker 1: been a part of it, was that we'd done it
Speaker 1: before and we were like, let's do this better.
Speaker 2: A side note, Will being so mad at everyone and
Speaker 2: be like I'm ashamed of you scares me every time.
Speaker 1: It was big.
Speaker 2: What teachers talk like that to their students.
Speaker 1: I've had teachers yell at us before. I had like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the second time in that in the
Speaker 2: episode where he's I.
Speaker 1: Know, and then the way he speaks to Rachel about it.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, she wasn't being a team player. But
Speaker 1: I have to say it was aggressive.
Speaker 2: It was very aggressive.
Speaker 1: It was scary. You're right, it was a little scary.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't fly right now.
Speaker 2: No, no, I remember were watching it. I watched this
Speaker 2: episode last night with my parents because.
Speaker 1: I'm in teching, Oh that's cute.
Speaker 2: And he starts yelling and I just burst out laughing,
Speaker 2: like what. I'm like, I can't take it now, what
Speaker 2: is this? I cannot believe.
Speaker 1: It's a lot, but we are acting a bit a
Speaker 1: fool and not everybody. Everybody's very much out for themselves
Speaker 1: in this episode.
Speaker 2: And teens are teening, that's right.
Speaker 1: So amidst all of this, like, let's let can we
Speaker 1: talk about the Tina, Artie and Brittany of it all?
Speaker 1: Because and then we'll go back to sectionals. This is funny.
Speaker 1: I forgot this was in this this part of this
Speaker 1: whole storyline. Tina convinces Artie that Mike and Brittany are
Speaker 1: having an affair.
Speaker 2: Also updating the list of this is now up there
Speaker 2: with favorite scenes that we've ever done. I completely forgot
Speaker 2: about this scene completely.
Speaker 1: Totally did too, except for the costume when I was like,
Speaker 1: oh right, it was funny.
Speaker 2: I love this scene.
Speaker 1: I love this scene too. I just forgot how fast
Speaker 1: we talk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I liked it because it also it was
Speaker 2: so I remember filming that and it was a note
Speaker 2: we all had that we had to talk faster. This
Speaker 2: is all coming back to me now and that makes
Speaker 2: it so much easier in terms of you don't have
Speaker 2: to think about it, you just do it. And the
Speaker 2: comedy you know, is written. Yeah, exactly, and it's nice
Speaker 2: for us to get the I like Tina and Artie
Speaker 2: and cahoots being like, look, I'm just setting you know
Speaker 2: what's up, and then Arty confronts Brittany, and Brittany's acting
Speaker 2: all strange. Heather was also hilarious.
Speaker 1: So funny. I mean, the cole itself of that whole
Speaker 1: storyline could have just flown on its own, but then
Speaker 1: to add this whole thing Heather was very, very funny.
Speaker 2: I like that calls apart at the actual in the competition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, so Britain. Brittany Artie is like you
Speaker 1: you've been adultrous? Is that a word?
Speaker 2: Adultrius? Even an adultrius?
Speaker 1: Adultrius? And Brittany doesn't know what that means.
Speaker 2: No, but she's like, I have I'm so sorry, I'm
Speaker 2: so ashamed of the way I behaved.
Speaker 1: And then Mike's like, what's going on? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're a jerk to Mike, and and that convinces Alreadie
Speaker 1: because Alartie wasn't so convinced that they were having an affair,
Speaker 1: but now we're sure of it because now already thinks
Speaker 1: that Latina said that Mike tastes like lipsmackers, which Brittany
Speaker 1: Brittany used, and then it falls apart, and then Brittany
Speaker 1: admits that she didn't cheat on him, but that she
Speaker 1: lost the comb.
Speaker 2: So sweet, it's really sweet.
Speaker 1: The comb is really sweet. It's just you finding a
Speaker 1: way for her to be awesome. And then she goes
Speaker 1: out and is awesome.
Speaker 2: Also, we kiss and then I smile and my parents
Speaker 2: start laughing. Why and I'm like, just because you look
Speaker 2: so dorky. Oh my gosh. It's like, I can't watch
Speaker 2: these episodes with my parents anymore.
Speaker 1: No, you can't.
Speaker 2: You can't do it. It is weird though, because we were filming.
Speaker 2: I wasn't with my family while we were doing this,
Speaker 2: and I've never like watched the show with them before.
Speaker 1: Right, right, very rare to watch the episode with your parents, right,
Speaker 1: There's just so many things too inside things that you're
Speaker 1: like laughing at, Like I watch it with David and
Speaker 1: I laugh and I'm like, oh, I remember that, and
Speaker 1: he's like what, and I'm like, never mind, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm laughing at all the wrong moments I have nothing
Speaker 2: to do with. It's actually happening on screen exactly. So
Speaker 2: now that Rachel knows that Finn did sleep with Santana,
Speaker 2: they're obviously having some huge, huge blowout falling out. Artie
Speaker 2: and Brittany are possibly on the fritz, and so are
Speaker 2: Mike and Tina, and then we have Emma and will.
Speaker 2: Emma shows up when we're leaving for the competitions, like, actually,
Speaker 2: I can't go because I realized I was withholding, which
Speaker 2: is even worse than lying to Carl, and we had
Speaker 2: a fight and we made up and I'm not coming
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 2: Fair enough, And so then we go and all mayhem,
Speaker 2: you know, breaks loose. I'll help breaks loose, and then
Speaker 2: we get to perform Jenna.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, these numbers are number one, very cute.
Speaker 1: But I didn't remember that whole thing until just now
Speaker 1: that you remind when you reminded me that we didn't
Speaker 1: learn it, and that's why it feels such a mess
Speaker 1: in my mind.
Speaker 2: I think it.
Speaker 1: Flew in like a like a quick math calculus test
Speaker 1: and then out of my brain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the short memory was strong during those days. Term
Speaker 2: is non existing.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know, but I will say Valerie goes
Speaker 1: down in history her story and is I well number
Speaker 1: one couldn't watch it. I had. I watched it, but
Speaker 1: I had a really really hard time watching it. I
Speaker 1: had a hard time watching it, really hard time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: really hard time. But it's a great number. It's so good.
Speaker 2: My eyes are watering.
Speaker 1: I know me too. But also Heather and Hair, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, are you joking? Why didn't they get to
Speaker 1: do that more?
Speaker 2: What's wrong with them?
Speaker 1: Why are they It's stupid how good that number is.
Speaker 1: And they did like a lightened version of it on tour,
Speaker 1: but that version is so good. Between Nia and then
Speaker 1: the two of them, You're like, why is this number
Speaker 1: not the best numbering?
Speaker 2: I mean it is. It's that is up there. That
Speaker 2: is a huge, huge, I mean I also I like
Speaker 2: shouted when Nia walks across the stage and she leans
Speaker 2: back and she does her like lazy stripper shoulder thing.
Speaker 2: Because after each take we'd go up to her and
Speaker 2: be like, no, you gotta get even crazier, like drag her,
Speaker 2: make this shit drag. And the one that made it
Speaker 2: into the edit is this crazy massive Yeah. If you
Speaker 2: go back and watch, she's walking across the stage, her
Speaker 2: shoulders are back and she's just like swinging her shoulders
Speaker 2: back and forth. And it was what we used to do.
Speaker 2: I don't know why, as like our lazy stripper slash
Speaker 2: like model runway walk is what we would do. And
Speaker 2: she was the I didn't realize she fits something in
Speaker 2: every single number of hers. She did one of those
Speaker 2: little references for us.
Speaker 1: Just so funny and they worked. Oh that worked, just worked.
Speaker 1: And she's saying the shit out of this song. I know,
Speaker 1: what a wild I don't even remember her recording this, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think she even told anybody. She just like
Speaker 1: went and did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah of course, okay, yeah, it's like I got I
Speaker 2: got this, don't worry about yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like nothing that number. And then sweet Sweet Time
Speaker 1: of your Life, which we didn't do that on tour,
Speaker 1: did we?
Speaker 2: No, we didn't.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it talked about on tour and I was like,
Speaker 1: we're not doing this on time.
Speaker 2: I think maybe but it didn't. It didn't happen. But
Speaker 2: those two together are just cute, cute pair also like
Speaker 2: the most beautiful humans, like what they both look stunning
Speaker 2: singing this adorable song. I didn't remember any of those
Speaker 2: backgrounds happening the end of that song.
Speaker 1: I did clearly was not singing them either.
Speaker 2: No, I was because this all makes a lot more
Speaker 2: sense now because we were in pure chaos at this time.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, barely making it.
Speaker 2: And if we mark us down and all the notes
Speaker 2: that everyone's taking, things just start to get crazier. And
Speaker 2: I think this is the beginning of that agreed agreed
Speaker 2: because like it, this is where the practicalness practicality of
Speaker 2: making this show was butting up against the head of
Speaker 2: what was scheduled, Like we were supposed to be doing
Speaker 2: these episodes in eight days.
Speaker 1: Oh, I never read it.
Speaker 2: There was just no way we could do that. So
Speaker 2: then we started shooting multiple episodes at the same time.
Speaker 1: And poor Ashley Fink for joining at this point.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Okay, So one of the other fifteen storylines is that
Speaker 1: we talked about then and Rachel, you know, finding out
Speaker 1: about Santana. Well after the competition, they make up and
Speaker 1: everything seemingly is okay, right, they they apologized they were wrong,
Speaker 1: but then there's no more lying. So she had to
Speaker 1: fess up and admit that while they were fighting, she
Speaker 1: made it out with Puck and I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the valid response because he
Speaker 1: did lie and sleep with somebody. But but he really
Speaker 1: cuts through her heart, saying like he just never thought
Speaker 1: she would make him feel his way, And so they
Speaker 1: break up. Rachel and Finn break up number one two one.
Speaker 2: Who knows.
Speaker 1: They break up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, a big deal and it felt big. I felt it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt it, especially during dog Days when she
Speaker 1: takes the next off and takes the cat underto and
Speaker 1: and and and also Emma and Will done because Emma
Speaker 1: tells Will that they did not get engaged. They got murred.
Speaker 1: They got murried in Vegas and that's the end of it.
Speaker 2: Too quick, too quick, How does that happen? But the
Speaker 2: good news is is that the Glee Club one, so
Speaker 2: did the Warblers because we needed the Warblers to stay
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 1: So that's right, Well, because Kurt's there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about the Warblers, Jenner.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. So they do Hayesel Sister, which
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember this number. They didn't do it on tour.
Speaker 1: They did do it on tour. This also did really
Speaker 1: well I remember on the charts. But they so the
Speaker 1: Warblers in preparation for sectionals. Kurt is there, Kurt is joining,
Speaker 1: and he's all these ideas, as Kurt would do and
Speaker 1: as new Directions would, but they have a much more
Speaker 1: rigid system in place where they have to audition for solos.
Speaker 1: And so Kurt's at Dalton and as a new Warbler,
Speaker 1: he has to take care of this canary Pavaratti, Pavaratti, Babarotti.
Speaker 1: And it's a old tradition. Do you remember when you
Speaker 1: had to, like in Homac take care of those eggs?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yep, and basically like that, you know, but
Speaker 1: with a real bird.
Speaker 2: Yes. And so Kurt discovers that, oh, everyone has a
Speaker 2: voice here. I have ideas, but okay, I will audition,
Speaker 2: because Blaine says, we, you know, we respect that you've
Speaker 2: adapted to this, because your ideas got shot down so quickly.
Speaker 2: And so he turns to Rachel to help him prepare
Speaker 2: for his audition, and they do. Don't cry for me, urgent.
Speaker 1: Somehow Rachel does the number when she's helping her.
Speaker 2: Of course, when when the shot when she's up on
Speaker 2: that balcony out of nowhere, still singing, I burst out laughing.
Speaker 2: It was like what And my mom and dad are
Speaker 2: like what, what's so funny? I was like, why is
Speaker 2: she on the balcony? Now? How did she get there?
Speaker 2: She's still no I know why she is. Oh, but
Speaker 2: I just mean like she was singing on the stage and.
Speaker 1: Then ended up just in a balcony and she's.
Speaker 2: Hold the music, please let me get upstairs to get
Speaker 2: to this balcony.
Speaker 1: Gotta do it. She's got to be on a balcony.
Speaker 2: That's when I remember it's a satire, you know, right right,
Speaker 2: just a gentle hilarious in your face. But Kurt doesn't
Speaker 2: get the solo and it's fine, and he goes on
Speaker 2: to perform with the Warblers, and we as the new directions,
Speaker 2: are all so excited and happy watching him, and it
Speaker 2: was so sweet and he was sweet. Curt and Rachel
Speaker 2: have this really nice scene at the concessions stand at
Speaker 2: the competition where they catch up a bit and it's
Speaker 2: it's really really He's like, why are you being so
Speaker 2: nice to me. You weren't just nice to me. It's
Speaker 2: cool she was.
Speaker 1: He was her only real competition, which is very sweet.
Speaker 1: But yes, there it's fun to see. It's fun to
Speaker 1: switch it up. You know, somebody's you know, a competition
Speaker 1: now and you know, on the other side of it.
Speaker 1: And then Kurt is worried because Pavarotti is not singing
Speaker 1: and he's not doing well, and Blaine says he's just
Speaker 1: molting and he's growing a new coat of feathers, which metaphor, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly for Kurt molting his old old directions and growing
Speaker 1: a new warbler. So very good, thank you. I thought
Speaker 1: of that all by myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so that's really it. So now we're we're headed
Speaker 1: to sectionals with Kurt as a Warbler and we're up
Speaker 1: against Dalton and sorry Regional original sorry, And and that's
Speaker 1: that's where we are. That's where we're going. And then
Speaker 1: we do dog Days are over the most fun number.
Speaker 2: And dog Days was a moment if you're keeping track
Speaker 2: of the show, Like I've now said a billion times,
Speaker 2: we start doing numbers differently after dog Days. And maybe
Speaker 2: this happened because we didn't have time to learn a number.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure why this, it could have been that.
Speaker 1: Just run around the stage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, seuce. We also, i think learned that very last minute. Yes,
Speaker 2: but it works so well and it's really the first
Speaker 2: time so far in thirty two episodes that we've done
Speaker 2: anything like that where there is a lot of running
Speaker 2: around and just freeform. We were doing what we wanted
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: And for people who we haven't said this yet, free
Speaker 1: form rock out ter that Zach coined where he'd be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna walk in a line, we're gonna get in
Speaker 1: a diagonal, you're all gonna clap your hands, and then
Speaker 1: this is eightcounts of free form rock out, and that
Speaker 1: meant you could do whatever you want free accounts. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's more like thirty two probably, but it was always
Speaker 1: a fun free form rockout. That's right. It's always there's
Speaker 1: always time for free form rock out.
Speaker 2: You can use it in any sort of you can
Speaker 2: use it in everyday life, you know, just you can like,
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do, but just free form
Speaker 2: rock out. Whatever you want. You can't go wrong every
Speaker 2: time order free rock free form rock out.
Speaker 1: But it's true, you're you're totally right. I think it
Speaker 1: was a lot of like, Okay, there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of time to choreograph, and it actually works. It's okay,
Speaker 1: we don't it doesn't have to be perfect. It's like,
Speaker 1: don't stop believing. When we had the nth version where
Speaker 1: we finally were like, okay, this is slightly choreographed, but
Speaker 1: this is also very free. It's very free. That's where
Speaker 1: New Directions thrives. So I enjoyed watching this because everybody
Speaker 1: looks like they're having a blast.
Speaker 2: You also sounded fit me.
Speaker 1: No, oh, thank you, that's very nice. This is the
Speaker 1: first Florence song, and this is where I found my
Speaker 1: love for Florence in the machine. I had no voice
Speaker 1: when I was recording this.
Speaker 2: That sounds good. Whatever was happening, they did a good job.
Speaker 2: They helped us a lot when we needed.
Speaker 1: You did they really did, and somehow it worked. But yes,
Speaker 1: that was a very exciting number.
Speaker 2: You and Amber sounds so good together too.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, sing with people who make you better.
Speaker 2: No, but not everybody's tones, you know fit together nicely,
Speaker 2: and your voices just fit together. Do you remember recording this,
Speaker 2: like do you lose your voice?
Speaker 1: I was having vocal problems all of season two, starting
Speaker 1: from Asian Camp, and they wanted me to do Getting
Speaker 1: to Know You at Asian Camp with Harry Live, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I was struggling, and that was really
Speaker 1: scary because like it's like your moneymaker. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: was still struggling or around this time, and it was
Speaker 1: because I think recording and singing live are so different,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't technically doing it properly, and I think
Speaker 1: I was losing my voice. And then you're also like
Speaker 1: lip syncing, which is like kind of whispering, and that's
Speaker 1: the worst thing you can do for your voice. So
Speaker 1: it was just like a lot of getting used to
Speaker 1: and we were just exhausted. But I did lose my voice,
Speaker 1: and I did lose my upper register like a lot,
Speaker 1: and I have a pretty high voice, so it was
Speaker 1: very upsetting. It was very upsetting to lose your upper register.
Speaker 1: And I remember Alex just being like, just use it,
Speaker 1: like use the raspe, use the whispery, like let's just
Speaker 1: use it from Florence because it works. It's not like
Speaker 1: for me Argentina where you actually have to belot. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember recording that. That was really fun and feeling
Speaker 1: like I was going to be happy with the even
Speaker 1: with the voice losing. I was like, I think I'm
Speaker 1: going to be happy with this. And I was very
Speaker 1: excited to hear the final because it was the first
Speaker 1: song that I felt like was the most like a real,
Speaker 1: like top chart topper, current song that I was able
Speaker 1: to sing on like a lead on, and so that
Speaker 1: was exciting.
Speaker 2: And we get to do it on tour, which is
Speaker 2: one of my favorite moments of the entire show.
Speaker 1: So much fun to do it on tour and Amber
Speaker 1: and I got to sing it live. It was really fun.
Speaker 2: Fun. We did it again because this version worked so
Speaker 2: well the performance and Ryan liked it so much that
Speaker 2: we did it again for fun. That's a fun song.
Speaker 1: We are young, Yes, thank you. I mean we did
Speaker 1: it a lot, and then even in the New Class,
Speaker 1: like later later seasons, we did it for this is
Speaker 1: the New Year, remember that.
Speaker 2: And it was always we were doing dog Days. It
Speaker 2: was always a dog Days reference.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. That's a good point. Good point. Well,
Speaker 1: that is special education and all of its goodness. Great episode,
Speaker 1: really really solid.
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed this, me too. TARTI takes let's do it, okay,
Speaker 2: cringe moments, Jenna, I would say the Cadbury Egg and
Speaker 2: the Asian kiss Asian kiss.
Speaker 1: David said to me, why is it an Asian kiss?
Speaker 1: And I was like, have you not been watching right?
Speaker 1: And yes, the sicy thing. She's like, she won't perform
Speaker 1: without her sugar. Yeah, it's like, yes, we have all
Speaker 1: these like, yeah, cliches of stereotypes. If you will, that
Speaker 1: would never never okay, fair enough, best dance move, I
Speaker 1: mean obviously, Valerie, Valerie, Harry exceptional, like what that's insane? Okay,
Speaker 1: best song. We can't pick one, so you have to
Speaker 1: pick one and I have to pick one and we die.
Speaker 2: All right, I'll do it because you probably won't want
Speaker 2: to do it. So I'll say dog Days.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I'll say Valerie and we'll switch. Great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, both are true. We're copainting, yes.
Speaker 1: Yes, best performance by a prop.
Speaker 2: Also the warbler bird, Pavarotti.
Speaker 1: Karate, yeah, sweet Pavaratti.
Speaker 2: Best line, Brittany.
Speaker 1: First of all, she says, well, I went to motocross practice, okay,
Speaker 1: thrown away and I was like, I cannot miss that line.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I have never forgotten that line. It's so good.
Speaker 1: Okay. Second one already admits that the Magic Home wasn't magic,
Speaker 1: and he said, that wasn't magic. I found it on
Speaker 1: the floor and ran into you in the hallway on
Speaker 1: the way to tossing it in the trash, and Brittany says,
Speaker 1: you let me comb my hair with it. So witty
Speaker 1: and quick, you guys, so quick.
Speaker 2: My favorite line, I would I think I would have
Speaker 2: to go with the motocross as well, though, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: I'm gonna second that.
Speaker 1: Great, great, great, great, how he went on the talk
Speaker 1: on the talk and Liu of Succession coming to an end.
Speaker 2: Don't worry, no spoilers here.
Speaker 1: Okay, great, because I'm not caught up yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's I got a lot of people sent this
Speaker 2: to me, and it is a duet with Arty and
Speaker 2: Arty Abrams and kendl Roy.
Speaker 1: You guys look like a wonderful pair.
Speaker 2: I mean, we could be related.
Speaker 1: We wow.
Speaker 2: It's our versions of honesty together and it's a little painful,
Speaker 2: but mostly it feels like an honor, you know. And
Speaker 2: the only time that Artie or myself will have anything
Speaker 2: to do with Kendle Roy.
Speaker 1: This is from Spidey t crch.
Speaker 2: And this is great. Thank you for making this absolute beauty.
Speaker 2: Somebody's like, wait, why do the harmonies work? I mean
Speaker 2: a little bit, it's you know they do. These comments
Speaker 2: are really funny, but don't read the comments if you
Speaker 2: haven't seen the finale of Success.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna want I can't. I can't.
Speaker 2: Okay, but that is maybe one of the most creative
Speaker 2: and crazy polls. Two worlds colliding that should have nothing
Speaker 2: to do with one another. But thank you Spidey for
Speaker 2: posting that because it's great.
Speaker 1: Everything to do with you.
Speaker 2: You got to look it up.
