1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: And That's what you really missed with Jenna and Kevin

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio podcast, Welcome to and That's what you Really

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: miss podcasts. The penultimate episode of season three? Are you kidding?

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: We're already here? I yeah that we've said it now

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: for the past three weeks, but it's true. It feels

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: very weird. And I also have to say, in terms

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: of what it was like in real life filming this,

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: there's something about the very end of the season that

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: feels like it was so far away, oh so like

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: it feels like it exists in no man's land in

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: my mind, because obviously one and two are very fresh

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: in our mind. Somehow are just ingrained right. And then

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: as we've been watching season three, a lot of Season

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: three has actually been once I've seen it's like, oh, yes,

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: I do remember this, Yeah, yeah, where these last two

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: episodes live in my head? And maybe because it was

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: at the end of a season and so exactly as

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: we get to the end of seasons, it feels like

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: last d Yeah, you're checked out mentally, and so I

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: don't remember like where in time these numbers fit because

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: obviously we remember competitions, you remember certain numbers and that's

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: how we relate a lot of episodes to like storyline.

23
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: I have very specific memories of shooting this, and I

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: have no memory at all of shooting some of this.

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: And I remember I remember, yeah, the same thing, specific

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: memories of shooting this, but didn't realize they were all

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: in the same episode in my head, like the memories

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: of doing dashboard or doing the fight scene where I'm

29
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: meeting the popcorn, or the scene where we're all getting

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: ready for Nationals, like all those things live in my memory,

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: but someone realize this is.

32
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: Where they also don't live in my memory with theiric

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: stilts for some reason.

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: And same and then watching it, I was like, Eric

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: must have directed this. Yeah, it feels so Eric.

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: He also doesn't usually do competition episode.

37
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: No, and I do remember that though I remember thinking,

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: are you okay, Eric? He's always okay, Yeah, of course

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: he's But this was the I mean, he's been training,

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: I feel like, doing proms for years and this was

41
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: a juggernaut. Truly, there's a lot that happens. Luckily it's

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: all centered around Nationals, which I appreciate. Hm, there's not

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: like a thousand different things happening going in fifteen different.

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: Directions where all all roads are pointing to.

45
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Nationals, and it feels very cohesive in that way where

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: you get that nostalgic feeling in every single scene of

47
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: graduation so good.

48
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: I also felt very emotional, and I remembered the feeling

49
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: of like we didn't know what was coming in season four.

50
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: We didn't know what it was going to be like,

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: we didn't know if we were going to get new

52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: cast members, We didn't know.

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: Any of this.

54
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: So the feeling was this is the end in some ways,

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: this is the end of an era. What happens next?

56
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: Where do we go from here? So I do remember

57
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: that the feelings more than the memories what I was

58
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: feeling at the time. This definitely jogged my memory. I

59
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: agree with you, this is not sequential for me at all,

60
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: but I do remember a lot of it.

61
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: And this is one of those moments where you and

62
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I were so excited to get to season three and

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: beyond because we don't have a lot of off the

64
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: cuff memories right before. It's jogged by watching the episode,

65
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: and this I feel like was the culmination of that.

66
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: So far. Yes, I felt so removed from it in

67
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: like a great way, or I did enjoy it as

68
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: a viewer. Yes, and you texted me while you were

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: watching it, and then that made me want to watch

70
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: it and so good. It's so good.

71
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about it. So this season three, episode

72
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: twenty one, This is Nationals and this aired on May fifteenth,

73
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: twenty twelve. And this is a penultimate episode of season three.

74
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: And the number one song was Somebody that I Used

75
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: to Know by gouta again and Avengers is still number one.

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 2: I expect it to be on our number one roster

77
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: for quite a bit of time.

78
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: Come to come, so glean news of the week. This

79
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: is a big one and I love that this all

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: lined up perfectly. Nationals features Glee's four hundredth musical performance.

81
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: How is that even possible that we dashboard light? Yeah,

82
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: which just feels right.

83
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: That feels like a time to celebrate, And we were

84
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: we were doing a competition, which really felt like a celebration.

85
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: It felt like we're on tour doing a real performance.

86
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, thank god we didn't do that. I'm

87
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: around tour, I know. This episode was directed by Eric Stoltz,

88
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: written by Ali Adler. Yes, whoopees back, Groff is back.

89
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: We have Rexley icon Owen, and Lindsay Lyon is also

90
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: an icons Hilton whatever, he's in his own right, I guess,

91
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I just press Hilton was awful

92
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. M hmm, okay, let's name it.

93
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: He just was and got famous off of that and

94
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: then got upset that people didn't like him. And it's like,

95
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: you established an entire brand off of being the bad

96
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: guy and then you have to like own that, you

97
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: just have to own it. Then. Yeah. I remember he

98
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: showed up to the tour the first tour we did,

99
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: and we all avoided him because right us, we were like,

100
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: we also, you don't deserve the Yeah, like that we were.

101
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: That was very much in the throws, and it was

102
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: nice that Lindsay Lewyn's character was calling that out of it.

103
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: It's also I thought those scenes were very funny.

104
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: You know. I have to say, Lindsay Lyon is a

105
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: national treasure.

106
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Mother is making her come back and I'm here for it.

107
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Yes, And she went through a really hard time and

108
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: she grew up in the public eye and was dealing

109
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: with the disease and doing that in the public eye.

110
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: I feel like only magnifies that times and it's in

111
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the press and is not kind about that, and they

112
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: don't make it easy for people to live. And I

113
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: just think she's so talented, and I'm so happy that

114
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: she's like back on it and back out there and

115
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: showing up and doing a cameo. Is this she's even great?

116
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: That's what you said.

117
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: I think we always said that, like it's so unfortunate

118
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: the journey she was going through and the challenges she

119
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: was having, because she's wildly talented. That's the that was

120
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: like the disappointing part of it. And also as a human,

121
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: I have my own qualms with Lindsay and him, but

122
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: I'm so glad she is thriving right, And she was

123
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: really great on set, and we didn't really know what

124
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: to expect, especially Eric, who had to kind of lead

125
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: this ship, and like, you know, you're dealing with Perez

126
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: who's not an actor, Lindsay who's kind of on this journey,

127
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: and then and you just don't know what you're going

128
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: to get. And he said she came prepared. He said,

129
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: she maybe not quite on time, but prepared, and so

130
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 2: like she knew our lines at least.

131
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: I felt really bad for Rex recir the consonate professional

132
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: kind as anything. Oh my god, and he was just

133
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: sort of like, what's going on. I love him? I

134
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: love him. He's very funny and thank god he was there.

135
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: He was really the anchor in that Oh totally totally.

136
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: And then just like the writing on it and Lindsay

137
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: willing to like talk about herself in that way and

138
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: everybody is kind of self aware. I appreciated, yeah game

139
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: for that fun Yeah. Okay, so before we get too

140
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: deep into it, there are a lot of songs. I

141
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: also forgot that the Edge of Glory was the travel

142
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: Tones number.

143
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: Jenna, you did it. I made Trouble Zone even I

144
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: was like I and Mercedes wouldn't let you get out

145
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: of it, which I was like, finally and having like

146
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: being able to talk to you every week about these

147
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: things and talking about how desperately you wanted to be

148
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: in Trouble Tones and then see you get there as

149
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: a friend, even though we already filmed it and we

150
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: all forgot about it. It's like, yes, she did it.

151
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: My jaw was because we've been talking about this so

152
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: so her wish I was in the Trolltones. Tina, you

153
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: were you were one time?

154
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: One time anyway, she made it though, I take it

155
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 2: so we did at your glory. It's all coming back

00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: Wizard Tongue Tied We Are the Champions, and the unreleased

158
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: and very short version of Starlight Express.

159
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: Unroller Skates by the Portland Scale Blazers Blessed. I love

160
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: the team names. It's funny.

161
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: It was that that you don't I get it for TV,

162
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: but like that you don't encounter all the same groups

163
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: often except for Vocal Adrenaline, our main enemy, we don't

164
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: encounter any of these groups again. Okay, So this episode

165
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: we talked about last week was the episode that aired

166
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: right after a prop so they were concurrent.

167
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that must be so much fun to

168
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: watch two.

169
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: Episodes in one, and they were both really fun episode

170
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: and they directly feed into each other, which didn't always happening.

171
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: That's right. That was like, I feel like these last

172
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: three or four episodes are all one big story, which

173
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: is so nice. That's right. This is the second competition

174
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: to feature real celebrities of judges. The first time wasn't Journey.

175
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: That's right.

176
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: Two versions of the victory scene were filmed vocal adrenalines

177
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: when and our whin Vocal Adrenaline didn't get confetti because

178
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: of the cleanup. But we did shoot both as they

179
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: do in like Drag Race, where they shoot because there

180
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: was a live audience. There were so many extras. Brad

181
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: Salatrak probably had PTSD from the prom King Queen being leaked,

182
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: and I do remember that.

183
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: I remember that as well, and also I believe the

184
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: I remember actually I remember it so specifically. The Vocal

185
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Adrenaline quote unquote win was very The filming of it

186
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: was very half assed, totally like they weren't actually using film.

187
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: Andrew just sort of like roaming around with the steady

188
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: cam and we were doing all.

189
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: The action, but we really didn't. Yeah, we did it.

190
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: It was performative.

191
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean drag Race really does it. They do

192
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: the full win for all the finalists.

193
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: Even for our our version. Yeah, the celebrity version. It

194
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: was like they did it and we didn't know. We

195
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: didn't In drag Race.

196
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: We didn't know. Obviously, we knew in the script. Even

197
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: during the airing of the finale, I was texting with

198
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: the finalists and they didn't even know as it was

199
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: happening right, Yeah, it was airing so Vocal Adrenaline sings

200
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: more than one song in an episode for the first time,

201
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: which I loved. I was really I'm like, are they

202
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: going to go to another song? Because I really want that.

203
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: I want if we do three songs, I want to

204
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: see the other team do three songs.

205
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: So I agreed, and then I also was wondering unique

206
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: was singing it?

207
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: So last year we got chopped like we they acted

208
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: like nationals went on for like most couple of competitions, yes,

209
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: and there was no chopping this one. It was just

210
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: we went. Yeah. I mean, obviously, I'm kind of glad for.

211
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: It for our sanity. This is the first time New

212
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: Directions one's first student competition, which is the Death Death Spot.

213
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: I liked that. I was here for too.

214
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

215
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: I re elect drama because you all know, it's like

216
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: that was oldest time. He never want to go first.

217
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: People forget the yearbook that Rachel signed was available and

218
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: published formed to purchase. It was called Glee the Official

219
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Oiam McKinley William McKinley High School Yearbook. Who has it

220
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: out there?

221
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure people, I'm sure we got one. Yeah,

222
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: probably we had our own yearbook with our crew and everything,

223
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: which we really, I really liked at the very end

224
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: of the show. So this is the only Nationals episode

225
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 2: where the title doesn't refer to the city where the

226
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: competition is held. This is also the only Nationals episode

227
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: where New Directions don't doesn't sing a song related to

228
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: the city obviously, like in New York, New York really

229
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: sang I Love New York, and then in Los Angeles

230
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: when we do that and they saying I Love LA,

231
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: there's no Chicago song. Fun fact, though, our very good

232
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: friend Will Malnaughty, whose family is the mal Naughties in

233
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Pizza Empire, we did get their

234
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: their box placed in the episode.

235
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Did you have anything to do with that?

236
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: It was Diana actually who did that. It was Diana

237
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: very smart and so that that was our little ode

238
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: to Chicago. And we also weren't in Chicago, so that

239
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: was also part of it. So in props we see

240
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: in the direction setlist and Quarantina were already an edge

241
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: of glory whoopsies. But here's why. Our props people are

242
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: very busy handling the props for every episode, and you

243
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: get a list of the characters in each number probably

244
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: or you look and you see which characters are in it.

245
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: Maybe they weren't fully reading the script to understand that

246
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: this was not happening until next.

247
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: Week, right, that's my guess. Yeah. And they were so

248
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: meticulous and detailed, like, oh yeah, they barely haven't slip ups,

249
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: so yes, fair, Like, look at all the props, all

250
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: the students happen every single scene. All of that is

251
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: like three people in the props department. It was really insane,

252
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: and they cared like they would run in and adjust

253
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: things the very last minute. Oh my gosh. Like they

254
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: had a lot of things to handle.

255
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: Yes, they literally from like a pen, a notebook, an eraser,

256
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: a backpack, everybody's.

257
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: Backpacks and a lot of things. I think that department, too,

258
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: because there's so much going on, was like not undervalued.

259
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: But I don't think people realize the amount of work

260
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: that goes into unsung heroes. Heroes and just when something

261
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: is always good and at a certain level, it's easy

262
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: to take for granted because you don't have to worry

263
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: about it, right, And that's how they were. They were

264
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: always just so good. It was like the art department,

265
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: it was like, you actually didn't ever have to worry

266
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: about that. That was never a thing. They're good at

267
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: their job. Exactly when the Teacher of the Year award

268
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: is being announced, mister Schuster appears to have lipstick smudged

269
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: on his cheek. I noticed that. After the award is

270
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: announced and while hugging each Glee member, Quinn wearing red lipstick,

271
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: kisses him on the cheek. This would mean the scenes

272
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: were filmed out of order. Is this true? Very possibly?

273
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes we would just do things block shooting. So if

274
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: we were just shooting all in one direction towards the stage,

275
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: let's say, you need a thought of us, right, and

276
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: so if they were trying to get us out, so

277
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: let's say it was the last scene of the day

278
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: and they needed us to film the next day to

279
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: shoot out the twelve members of the glee club would

280
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: save everybody on the turnaround at the twelve hours that

281
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: we have to have from the time he wrapped when

282
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: we can be back on setting. And so it's very

283
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: likely that that did happen where they shot everybody that

284
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: was on the stage portion first, and.

285
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: Then they turned the cameras around and then they shoot

286
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: mister Shoe's stuff on and including the teacher announcement. Yes,

287
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 2: so including his speech and everything would be earlier because

288
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: the cameras would be the other way around.

289
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: It's possible.

290
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: I don't actually remember if we did that, but Eric

291
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: was very good at block shooting, and he was very efficient,

292
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: and so I believe that that probably happened. I think

293
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 2: you're right, Kevin. When the new directions arrived back at McKinley,

294
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: Emma show's Will newspaper with a picture of Will holding

295
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: the Nationals trophy in the choir room on the front page. However,

296
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: considering the new directions hadn't been back to school yet,

297
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: how is this possible? Plus Will is wearing the same

298
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: outfit in the photos he is in the scene. Whoopsies,

299
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: that's funny.

300
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: I did go back and look at the newspaper again

301
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: after reading this fun fact and was like, oh, yeah.

302
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 2: He is on the same outfit. They took it on

303
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: the day they printed it. They gave it to Emma.

304
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: You know, is a quick turnaround for these things.

305
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not all going to be perfect. This is

306
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: insane to me. You knew how last time. The like

307
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: Fox publicity summary of the episode was like a sentence sentence.

308
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: It was a sentence and didn't really explain anything. Yes,

309
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: are you ready to hear this one? I'm ready. When

310
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: Mercedes like Nationals, everyone right, like this is what everyone's

311
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: been talking about for three years. Here is the official

312
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: Fox summary of the episode entitled Nationals. When Mercedes comes

313
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: down with a bad case of food poisoning, Will drafts

314
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: Tina and Quinn to sub for her. That's it.

315
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 4: Somebody got really lazy that week. They were really busy,

316
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 4: and they designed that was it? What or they pressed?

317
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: They selected all and deleted by accident.

318
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: It was like it had to be long enough, short

319
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 1: enough to fit in the original tweet size. So funny,

320
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: so funny.

321
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean talk about bearing the lead here, I

322
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 2: mean Mercedes has food poisoning. The scene is ridiculous in

323
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: the hotel room, partially because of the nicknames that Sue

324
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: calls Mercedes.

325
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: Insane.

326
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: And all the girls are there most some of the

327
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: girls are there taking care of Mercedes. And we get

328
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 2: a signed Tina and Quinn. We get a signed to

329
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: do the Trouble Tones because we are not sure if

330
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: Mercedes is going to be able to perform at Nationals.

331
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: For we kind of.

332
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't remember that scene.

333
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't remember doing that.

334
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: Scene, I mean at all, obviously, because I didn't remember

335
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: that I was in the trumpet.

336
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: Well, here's what I was thinking, And as I was

337
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: watching this entire episode, Stolts moves very quickly. Yes, so

338
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: I think we remember all of these scenes in these

339
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: competition episodes because there's a lot of us in new

340
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: environments and they take a really long time to shoot.

341
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: Stoltz does not do that. You just you go, you're moving,

342
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: And I think that's what was happening, even we didn't

343
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: even film dashboard that many times you're you're totally right,

344
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: and so I think he was just we have about

345
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: two hours worth of content to fit in an hour,

346
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: so let's keep it moving.

347
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 2: And he was always like that with a big episode

348
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 2: or not. You know, you would make either make a

349
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 2: small episode feel like a big episode, and you make

350
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: a big episode feel like it was like a normal

351
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: Glee episode.

352
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: And shout out to Stults because I had nothing to

353
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: do in this episode and he still cut to me

354
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: and made me feel like I was still a part

355
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: of the episode. And I really appreciated that he.

356
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: Always did that. He always made everybody feel included, especially

357
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: your popcorn moment, which leads me to the rehearsal in

358
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: that lobby room wherever the hell we were.

359
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: No to young actors, if you're going to choose to

360
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: eat something in the first take of a scene, you

361
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: screwed yourself. You have to do it the entirety of

362
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: the shoot. How much popcorn did you eat? I had

363
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: so much popcorns in that and it was at Chicago.

364
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: It was like, so the cheddar and then she's caramu.

365
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: I love that stuff, and I was just going in

366
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: on it. And when Naya comes around. We fucked up

367
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: so many takes because I would get to my face

368
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: and I was trying to make her laugh and she

369
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: was trying to make me laugh. I think at some

370
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: point Stoltz was like, okay, guys, like get it together.

371
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: He never did that either. No, it was we couldn't

372
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: and I've said it before, we couldn't look at each

373
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: other in scenes and we're barely hold like she's so

374
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: not looking at me, and the take that made it

375
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: in and I'm barely hanging on if you Sometimes I

376
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: try to do that.

377
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just have to look away and make it

378
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 2: look like you're looking at them. You were barely that

379
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: both of you. Whenever you guys have lines together, you

380
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 2: can always kind of tell you're on the verge.

381
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: I love that. Though it was so much fun, it

382
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: was chaos. It actually was chaos filming that because there

383
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: was a lot of steady cam as well. There was

384
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: a lot of movement everywhere. It felt like the one

385
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: where they still are set list. Yes, but that's also

386
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: how you save time. If you keep everything on steady cam,

387
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: everything's lit in every direction right, you can just keep

388
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: it moving right, yes, because otherwise what you have to

389
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: do to get technical about it is you set down

390
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: tracks or you set down like then you have to

391
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: get up all that gear and move it to another

392
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: and cover whoever is facing that specific direction. So when

393
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: we're all sort of in a circle in this, you

394
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: have to cover that from that many angles, which is

395
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: damn near impossible to steady caam. You can see the

396
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: entire room because you can.

397
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: Just walk around with the camera and they light the

398
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: whole thing all at once, versus in each setup that

399
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 2: they do in the scenes, basically they have to relight

400
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: it for that part of the room.

401
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: It's like David or russell movie. If you watch any

402
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: of David or Russell's movies, all of that thing is

403
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: steady cam. He's got about a billion people in every

404
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: scene and it just saves so much time. It's so true.

405
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So if I breaks out because Puck is studying

406
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: for geography, people are mad at him, which is crazy

407
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: for studying. Rachel has her own agenda, obviously, needing everybody

408
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 2: to be perfect because carbon Thibodeau might be there, and

409
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: Quinn is still questionable on her feet. So we are

410
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: having this wild argument and then Mercedes comes in and

411
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: she's magically better already, very fast, very fast, thankfully though,

412
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: thankfully she comes back.

413
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: I love those shots of everybody getting ready for the

414
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: competition in front of all the lights, and then when

415
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: she comes in and sort of saves the day. And

416
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: for once, the things Sue had a student do made sense,

417
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: like all the recommendations she had for like how she

418
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: should get better quickly, Like, oh, that's pretty reasonable.

419
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: Sue is really scary this episode because it was so

420
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: unlike her.

421
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was nice because you never get to

422
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: see into well we did once when Sue. We never

423
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: seen into the Cheerios competitions. Right, except when she was

424
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: trying to get Brittany to fly out of that canon

425
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: can obviously unsafe, but if she is a billion time

426
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: national champ, then she should have these things, these bits

427
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: of right she tries to see her. It felt in

428
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: character for her to know how to do these things,

429
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: which I really appreciate it.

430
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: I appreciated see this whole episode. I have to be honest.

431
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: I loved at the end. I know he's skipping ahead here,

432
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: but when they're walking to the Teacher of the Year

433
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: celebration and she says, I've been pregnant for an indeterminate

434
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: amount of months or a determinate amount of time. I

435
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: love that Sue was on it. She is on it.

436
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: So another thing that was happening this episode for Rachel

437
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: is the carmon Thibodeaux of it all, the whoopie of

438
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: it all right, and she' back. She's hoping, whoop he's

439
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: going to show up. She doesn't know what he's going

440
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: to show up. She runs into Jesse, and Jesse somehow

441
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: magically knows that she bombed her audition and that she's

442
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: hoping she's going to be there, And I like that

443
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: exchange between them felt very mature. Everybody felt very mature

444
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: in this episode. Ben and Jesse interaction too, I know,

445
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: I honestly it felt.

446
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really nice to see Jesse show a

447
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: little bit of love and truth and.

448
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: Kind of take his walls down. I even liked.

449
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was the one you're referring

450
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: to Rachel and Jesse, but I really liked their scene

451
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: as well together. Yeah, everybody was very adult and mature.

452
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: In this episode. I would like to say John Graff

453
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: looked extra hot. I mean.

454
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 2: He looked like at a tan, Like he went away,

455
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 2: did you have a tan?

456
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. He looked really good. So Tivodeau does

457
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: show up just in time to see Rachel sing belt

458
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: out Celene. So fun fact. Fun fact.

459
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: Rachel and Leah actually, if I if my memory is correct,

460
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: we both were asking for Selene songs for like a

461
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: long time because we both love Selene, and we both

462
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: got them. Uh, Leah, I believe was asking for power

463
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: of Love and Ryan got it wrong.

464
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: Oh he swapped them and swapped it and did. It's

465
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: all coming back to me.

466
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: Whether he got it wrong or he intentionally did, it's

467
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: coming back to me because he liked it better. I

468
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: don't know, but I remember Leah being like I didn't

469
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 2: I actually had asked for it.

470
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: The other one, I do remember that. I mean she

471
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: sounded great, so it's fine. It was awesome.

472
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: She sounded insane, and Carmen Tibodeaux sees her and sees

473
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: the standing ovation she gets and it's definitely moved. I mean,

474
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: we'll see, but she's moved.

475
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: And I was moved as a viewer because it's like

476
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: Rachel Berry is at her best stage, Yes, exactly. See

477
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: her with her people that even though sometimes she treats questionably,

478
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: that's her safe space, yes, yes, and she's able to

479
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: shine with that support like she got after her loan

480
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: for that audition and choked right, and then you have

481
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: her with her family and she kills it.

482
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: And also don't remember being on stage.

483
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: See, we were not, I think because our involvement in

484
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: it was so little. There's paparazzi pictures of us at

485
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: base camp like doing doing like foot races and on

486
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: the one, Yeah, because we had so much downtime, that's

487
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: what happens to the Yeah, we were not on that

488
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: stage very long, and so my memory of it, you're right,

489
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: it's sort of non existent because of that, like we

490
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: shot it so quickly. Well, we also on that day

491
00:28:59,080 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: waited quite a bit.

492
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: Of time because some people were late mm hm, and

493
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: so there was a lot of downtime. Also, the sure

494
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: was because we were just waiting and so waiting for.

495
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: A very long time. I think they had then they

496
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: had to swap the.

497
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: Schedule, right, which is never a good thing for National

498
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: because everything has to kind of go according to planner.

499
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: You're a fact, Yeah, So I imagine they moved up

500
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: Unique and Vocal Adrenaline to shoot maybe earlier than they

501
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: were supposed to right well speaking, and I think wait

502
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: before you Unique, you texted me and said you thought

503
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: something sounded off about or something weird with Lea's vocals,

504
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: and there is a line that is like fully ahead

505
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 1: of the beat, which never happens. And this is speculation,

506
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: but I do remember this starting to happen around this time,

507
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: where if we did not have enough time to go

508
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: record the song you do with the demo, we do

509
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: with the demo, And I'm wondering if that's what happened

510
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: here where she had a lip sync to the demo

511
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: and so then they had so she had to then

512
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: go back and match what she was the lip syncing,

513
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: how she was lip syncing to another person singing, and

514
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: so therefore the timing could have been off. Interesting. I

515
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't remember that happening at that point,

516
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: but maybe all right, but it didn't happen often. It

517
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: just happened every once in a while, and it was

518
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: usually towards the end of the season because that's when

519
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: we're now behind, right, Okay, good point.

520
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: So Unique is uh is the lead of Vocal Adrenaline

521
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: at this time, but Unique is now freaking out because

522
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: Curtain Mercedes after their performance go to where she Unique

523
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: good luck. They go to them give them a flower,

524
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: and Unique is saying, I'm not going to go do it.

525
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: And this is where we start to plant the seed

526
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: that Unique is going to join New Directions because Unique

527
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: is not feeling the love from Vocal Adrenaline, is wearing

528
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure and curt and Mercedes are just

529
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: showing him how things are done.

530
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: At McKinley.

531
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: Unique performances were amazing. Alex literally is insane. The split

532
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: is something that we have.

533
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: To talk about. Ex.

534
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: Split split lift, split lift, but also I mean, the

535
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: whole thing is in heels, singing them across pinball machines

536
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: and heels exactly moving pinball machines. And then Starships. Now,

537
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: I thought that was amazing. I didn't think it was

538
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: as good as New Direction, And I don't know if

539
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: that was the editing because they were not supposed to

540
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: be as good as a New Direction or they're they're

541
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: their own thing. But maybe it was also the song

542
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: choice because I don't love Starships, Like.

543
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: I think the song choices were good, but they were

544
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: a little off. And then also I think, I mean,

545
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: they've always been a team that just has like one

546
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: star and they build everything around that, right, and so

547
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: I think sometimes that works better than other times, Like

548
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: Bohemian Rhapsody was obviously like oh my god, perfect, literally perfect,

549
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: and it did feel like it didn't work as well,

550
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: like I just want to see unique. Yeah, well that's

551
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: also what it was.

552
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: I think it was the shooting of it, Like the

553
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: shots of it were very much on unique the whole time,

554
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: which they should be. But I know that Zag and

555
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 2: Brook they choreograph for the bigger picture. For vocal Adrenaline,

556
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: I knew we didn't see that as much. It was

557
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 2: much more closer tighter shots and like the timing of

558
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: a lot of things, even in new direction stuff. Some

559
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 2: of these cannons didn't quite hit like of us moving

560
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: because they were on close ups of people versus the

561
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: wide shot.

562
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: However, they did get that crazy move a vocal journaline

563
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: where they were launching those girls, oh my, going through

564
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: the air and being caught and all of our everybody's

565
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: reactions were so good and real because that was insane,

566
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: Like Zach and Brook. Somehow every year managed to think

567
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: of some crazier, bigger move yes than the year before.

568
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 1: And I don't know how they do it. Psychos full psycho,

569
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: but I mean just watching Alex Nowell perform is just

570
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: thank god we got two songs. Well we had to.

571
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: I want to watch Alex perform anything, everything, anything. I

572
00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: also really loved Curtain Mercedes. When they were talking to

573
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: me before Kurt says, you know, maybe because unique or

574
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: Weight is concerned that they can't conjure the strength, and

575
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: when Kurt is like, maybe unique, unique can carry that

576
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: for you, and it was just really beautiful and I

577
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: liked it. They've become they're passing down like they've had

578
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: to go through the hard times and find their people

579
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: that support them, and now they're passing it. They're passing

580
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: it on well exactly.

581
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: It was very reminiscent of Kurt like and Chris even

582
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 2: taking on the pressure of being this massive gay icon

583
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: on a massive show. Yes, and like ever, when they

584
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: were saying that, he was saying that, I was hearing like, oh, yep,

585
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: exactly when I feel like, why do I have to

586
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: be responsible the post Chier for all, It's like mm.

587
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: Hmm, totally, it's exactly. Yeah, it was exactly. It was

588
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: very well set, very well, very well. I love that scene.

589
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: I love that scene. And also it turns out there's

590
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: an MVP award at Nationals. I guess so, but we

591
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: didn't know.

592
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 2: We wouldn't know because we've never been to a final Nationals,

593
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: So I don't actually want to know why they did that.

594
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 2: Was it to divert the like, to prolong the win,

595
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 2: like because the MVP usually comes from the winning team.

596
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: Did they then think, like, is this going to prolong

597
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: the audience's thinking that it's going to be vocal adrenaline

598
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 2: that new direction is going to lose.

599
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like it's that because then you do

600
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: see the new directions reaction and it looks very concerned.

601
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: But I also think it's something to justify Vocal Journaline

602
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: not winning because Alex is so good that to not

603
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: have Alex's team are your active team win feels crazy

604
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: and so it sort of softens that. I think it

605
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: makes it more realistic, like, Okay, the team doesn't win,

606
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: but Unique was so good that we have to award

607
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: her in this way. And so then as a team effort,

608
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: new Directions wins, which makes more sense to me. So

609
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: we've got Vocal and General and through all of this,

610
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: Thibodeau has been there right, has witnessed the whole scene. Yes,

611
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: And on her way out, she gets stopped by Jesse

612
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: Saint James, and Jesse Saint James tells her, I heard

613
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: what happened with Rachel Berry, and I just need you

614
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: to know she's the most talented person I've ever met.

615
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: Not what I was going to expect from him. No,

616
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: And then I also thought car Tipboat would be like, no,

617
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: she put you up to this sort of reaction, and

618
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: it was a really nice exchange and also something I

619
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: felt like that was really humbling for Jesse Saint James

620
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: because since the start of Glee Vocal Journaline has been it.

621
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: Nobody has been better or been able to beat vocal Jorenaline,

622
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: and Jesse's been the star, right, and but that's all

623
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: still like small town Ohio stuff, right, And then Thibodeau

624
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: from the big city and the Star then tells Jesse like, oh, yes,

625
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: I remember your audition for me and like it was okay,

626
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: right right right, and for her then whatever happens with

627
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: Rachel Berry and for him to say that out of

628
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: Rachel Berry, it all is leading to this realization of

629
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: how destined and talented Rachel actually is outside of you know,

630
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: where they're from and their circumstances. Well.

631
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 2: Also kudos to the writers for re do you mean

632
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: carbon Thibodeau somehow? Because she she is very tough and

633
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: she's very harsh, and for her to remember his audition

634
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 2: and the specifics of it was, I was like, Okay,

635
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: she is the real deal. Like she she's legit. She's

636
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: not just being.

637
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: The devil? Do you know what I mean it?

638
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

639
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Do you like that She's He's saying Gine's

640
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: in the sky for her love And I also can't

641
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: I want to see him do that. I do too.

642
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: He'd be a lot of spit.

643
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: So much spit would be a lot of spit, because

644
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: that is the most you have to enunciate in the world.

645
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: She is right about something that is one of sometime's

646
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: hardest pieces ever.

647
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: Love it. Did you have you got your college degree

648
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: in musical theater, in theater performance in my musical theater. Yes,

649
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: going into that school, applying to that school. Was there

650
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: an audition process like this? Oh yeah, every school has

651
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: an audition process for the programs. You have to get

652
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 1: into the school on the program. So did you encounter

653
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: any people that were reminiscent of to Dodo? Oh yeah,

654
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: for sure. My the the head of my theater musical

655
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: theater department, was very much like that. She's very tough

656
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: and not well liked by a lot of people. So

657
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: then this is really.

658
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was I was told I walk like

659
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 2: a pigeon.

660
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: I still that.

661
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 2: There were a lot of a lot of things, and

662
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 2: she's redeemed herself and we're we're all good now. But

663
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: I guess, but it is. It is similar in a

664
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: lot of ways. And then there's other harsher schools to

665
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: swallow conservatories. But yes, this is true. This is truer

666
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 2: than the Nationals and the show higher competitions.

667
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah yeah, how did I mean? How many rounds

668
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: do you have to go through?

669
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 2: Like? Was it just one audition? Yes, it was one

670
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 2: audition for I don't think I had to perform for

671
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 2: my minor?

672
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: Did I have to?

673
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: I did have to do a monologue for my theater

674
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 2: performance audition, and maybe I did have to sing to

675
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 2: get into the minor.

676
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: I had a lot.

677
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 2: I had auditioned for quite a few schools. I think

678
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 2: Juilliard has more rounds.

679
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, obviously I didn't make it

680
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: past the first round Juilliard, right, he did, hopefully so

681
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: who artist? Of course he did. That makes sense to me.

682
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: He turned down going to Juilliard to do glee.

683
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: He did for dance for dance, yes, yes he did.

684
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: I think to move. I don't know if it was

685
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 2: specifically for really, but oh my god, okay, I can't

686
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: wait to have take apart to some time.

687
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm just very I'm proud of you, Oh my god,

688
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: thank you you did all that. That seems very intimidating.

689
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 2: It's very stressful and very intimidating and very scary, and

690
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 2: you just want to give up sometimes, but like Rachel Berry,

691
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: you just do.

692
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: You're going to New York hell or high water. I

693
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: mean you were Rachel Berry. Yeah, I was.

694
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 2: And it was really intense. And I didn't even do

695
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: half the auditions that like some of these kids did,

696
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: and these conservatories and things that are so hardcore. I

697
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 2: mean so every semester, some of these conservatories have I

698
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: don't know if it's like this anymore, but they have

699
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: juries where you go in front of the whole board

700
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: of like teachers, and they can kick you out of

701
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: the school.

702
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: At any point or out of the program at any point.

703
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: Was there any sense of animosity because you had already

704
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: been on Broadway? Like, was there any sort of like, oh,

705
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: just because you've done it and you think you're good,

706
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: are we going to put extra pressure on you exactly

707
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: to prove that shit? Basically yes, exactly, like you got

708
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: to prove yourself. I felt a lot of pressure to

709
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: prove myself that I could do this because I hadn't

710
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: been in Spring Awakening or Waitress yet or done any

711
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: of this stuff. It was a lot of kids stuff,

712
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: So it was like, could I prove that I was

713
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: actually worthy of being in this industry as not just

714
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: a kid but an adult artist. And so that was

715
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: like I put major pressure on myself to do that,

716
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 1: and so that was really hard. And then like wanting

717
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: to audition while I because I had an agent through

718
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: all throughout college. A lot of college programs you do

719
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: the senior showcase to then get an agent and manager

720
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: and get representation. I already had it, and so a

721
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,959
Speaker 1: lot of schools don't want you to audition outside because

722
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: number one, they don't feel like you're ready, and number two,

723
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: you're you're representing the school, so like when you come out,

724
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: they want you to be ready and represent what they've

725
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: taught you.

726
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 2: And so they really don't support people who have agents

727
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: who are working. And then also if you're working, there's

728
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 2: a lot of performance based classes where you have to

729
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: show up and you can't just like read from the

730
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: textbook and take the test and then you know, like

731
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: lecture hall style. And so there was a lot of

732
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: drama that I went through in school because of that.

733
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: Well, despite all that, you got in and you graduated

734
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: in three years with a major ani minor. So I did.

735
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: I did what Annelie Ashford did, So she's obviously you

736
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 2: know everybody knows who Anily Ashford is at this point now.

737
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: And I literally saw she. I had the same ta.

738
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: I said, give me that her courses, give me everything

739
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 2: that she did and get me on at the same time.

740
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: And they did. Were you in the same year.

741
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 2: She was a year ahead of me, early two years

742
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: out of me, And so I saw her do it,

743
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, I need to do that. She's

744
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 2: the only one I would see it. Auditions like equity

745
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 2: auditions in the mornings before class.

746
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: Also, you would go to auditions and in the morning

747
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: before class.

748
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, because epas you have to go really early to

749
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 2: sign up to get on the list, to like make

750
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 2: it before their day ends. She'd have a little roly suitcase,

751
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 2: and you just like sick of seeing your best sixteen

752
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: bars and hope that they see something in you if

753
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 2: you don't have an agent, right, Yeah, And I also

754
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: went anyway because I even if my agent didn't get

755
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: that audition, I would go.

756
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: This makes so much sense because I feel like if

757
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: you have been through that, you you're just cut from

758
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: a different cloth. Like you you're wherewithal to withstand different situations.

759
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: It's just so much higher than the rest of us.

760
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: And I think because like you, you've done it, where

761
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: like you've grinded, you've hustled. You know exactly what it's like.

762
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: And coming from working as a kid and then going

763
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: through that and then coming out of it and working

764
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: as an adult, it's not like you've ever coasted, right,

765
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: and you've fought for all of it, and you.

766
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 2: Like Glee, also felt like normal almost to me, Like

767
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 2: the hustle felt normal to me. Yes, it didn't feel

768
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 2: if it was hard, but it didn't feel out of

769
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 2: the ordinary until like now when you look back, you're like,

770
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 2: none of that is normal.

771
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: What was out of the ordinary was the facing, the

772
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: public interfacing of it all, right, like you hadn't really

773
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: experienced that yet, Yes, exactly. That was a very different experience.

774
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: That was a very because if it was just the

775
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: work and it was the sixteen hour days and whatever, right,

776
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: I think it probably would have had very little effect

777
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: on most of us. But I think it's yeah, but

778
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: I think especially like you or like Matt or Leah

779
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: who come from that world, like, yeah, you guys, theater

780
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: is hard, and if you can do theater, you can

781
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: do anything.

782
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 2: And so I.

783
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: Feel like the fame of it all is what makes

784
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: people funny, Oh totally, because that's mental. It's another mental

785
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: constraint that there's no training for, right.

786
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: And then social media on top of it, and like

787
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 2: the acceptance of was already a thing as an artist.

788
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 2: You're looking for external gratification, yes, from elsewhere exactly already

789
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: as an artist. That's part partially what it is when

790
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: you start out, and then you get all of this,

791
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 2: like you're surrounded by yes, people who tell you you're

792
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 2: amazing and all of this, and then you're also brought

793
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: down by all of these like criticisms and reading the

794
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 2: comments and all of that, and that brings you down

795
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: and you're like is this real?

796
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: This isn't real.

797
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: But then it still feels good when you get good validation.

798
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 2: And so there's a lot of that that was. And

799
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: then like you know, working on the weekends and the

800
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: press and all of that, which was like kind of

801
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 2: comes with the job. It's like it's a taxing time

802
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 2: because you don't have time to sit down and like

803
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: have a moment with your thoughts. You're just surrounded by

804
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: it all the time. We were just working all the time.

805
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: That being said, though, I also feel like part of

806
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 2: coming from theater is. It's also really tough mentally, where

807
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 2: like people are not kind, right, Like you're in constant

808
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 2: competition with one another. You also get reviews hmm, but

809
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 2: I feel like it's so insulated from the rest of

810
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 2: the world. Yes, it's a very small community.

811
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. It's very small community. You

812
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: all know each other totally. But there is also I

813
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: feel like, as competitive and as vicious as a theater

814
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: community community can be, there's also this underlying support because

815
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: to do it is to care about it, and if

816
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: you respect one another because you all care about it. Yeah,

817
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 1: you know what it takes to be there.

818
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cut throat, it's not vicious. It's cutthroat for sure.

819
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 2: I think they're different. But you're right, you are a

820
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: great I agree with you. I do agree with you.

821
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 2: It is, but it is much more insulart than the

822
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 2: spread and the reach that we had on the show.

823
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: So it's definitely anyway, well you did it, we did

824
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 2: do it, that's right. I always that if you need

825
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 2: something done, ask like that's funny, nothing gets in your way.

826
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: You can do everything. I feel like you go through

827
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: all that at a young age and it carries over

828
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: into other parts of your life. That's interesting. I didn't

829
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: even think about it like that. And also, your voice

830
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: is just better than ever, so she still got it.

831
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so nice. You know, I don't

832
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: agree with you. That's true. Look if Amber says it,

833
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: then you know it's true. And she said it.

834
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 2: Okay, just take it anyway. So new directions, back on track,

835
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,760
Speaker 2: Back on track, New directions.

836
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: Wins.

837
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we win. We really do win. It's

838
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. But we had to win, like we weren't

839
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: going to not win at this point, right, there.

840
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 1: Was no way to not win.

841
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 2: I also feel like Brad saying like, oh, you couldn't

842
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 2: win the first time around. I kind of knew we

843
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 2: were going to win the second time around, like inside

844
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: our Glee bubble, I kind of we weren't going to win, right.

845
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think maybe we knew. I think because

846
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: we didn't win the second time. It was or the

847
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: first time it was like, okay, well then we have

848
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: to like we are going to win the next because

849
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: who's going to stick around after watching for three seasons

850
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: and this is crap.

851
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was just you know, agreed, Yeah, so

852
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: very exciting. I actually really love the scene where we're

853
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 2: looking at the trophy and like taking it in and

854
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: I remember shooting that after the Champagne, which we'll talk about.

855
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: I love that scene. I love that moment. And actually

856
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: all these celebrations felt really great, even our interactions in

857
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: the slow mo of us getting the trophy on stage

858
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: and all of us hugging each other, and it all felt, Yeah,

859
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: it felt really sweet.

860
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 2: There was also a celebratory thing because it was like

861
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 2: this was our last competition together altogether, like we were

862
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 2: not all going to perform together.

863
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: Did you feel that while watching it?

864
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 2: Totally? I understand. I was a viewer the feeling that

865
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: the emotion that they must have been feeling at that

866
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: time of this is the end of an era.

867
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: Because I have to say, Corey and Lea really carried

868
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: that woo because one Corey saying his ass off he

869
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: was so good, like what but like Corey's best asset

870
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: I think is his acting is through all of those

871
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 1: things where he's not just singing a song the whole time.

872
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: Through his performance, I was reminded, this is a kid

873
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: who's never going to get to do this again. This

874
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: is his last performance with his high school best friends

875
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: before they all go off. Yeah, and I was it

876
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: was so emotional. It was really emotional. They didn't present

877
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: too where it felt like the characters are present taking

878
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: it all in, like we know we're good at this,

879
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: we know we can do this, and we've been here before. Yeah,

880
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: and it felt joyous like all the performances like when

881
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: you guys are doing Trouble Tones stuff. Everyone was on

882
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: that wavelength and it just felt really impactful to watch

883
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: and emotional.

884
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed. The numbers were great. I don't know how

885
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 2: do you feel about Edge of Glory because I don't

886
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 2: think it was the best Trouble Tones number they've done

887
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 2: by far, but I love that song.

888
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It definitely wasn't my favorite trouble

889
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: Tones number. And also I think because of how the

890
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: dance was shot, it ended up looking sloppy. Yeah, yes,

891
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 1: because I think I things were timed. Layers on the risers,

892
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: that's exactly right, and so if you're in too close,

893
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: it just looks like people are messing up and going

894
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: at different times exactly.

895
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 2: Canons. The whole thing was cannons. Yes, is that what

896
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 2: that's called.

897
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: That's what a cannon is. Yeah, like ro ro Ro.

898
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: You're ro it's a cannon. That's what you meant by cannon.

899
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: I'm uneducated. What have we learned? You are educated? I

900
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: am not. You read books. Yeah, but that's not the

901
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 1: profession I'm in. So you're doing the wrong thing. I'm like, Row,

902
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: that's a cannon. That's the profession I'm in, parenting. Okay,

903
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: So I do think that that is, you know, that

904
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: is sort of what was missing from the edge of

905
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: Glory moments. Yeah, and some of those. And I think

906
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: what you said about vocal adrenalists too. You need those

907
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: wider shots to get the full picture. But boy, what

908
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: I did love that version, Like I love that Yeah,

909
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: and I loved having all of you like come in

910
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: for a line here, going for a line there. Diana

911
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: was singing during my solo, by the way, well there

912
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: were a couple of times too. I looked at some

913
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: of the dancers and they were also just singing when

914
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: really just a solo going on. And I think it

915
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 1: was just a mess. Just be better to be safe

916
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: than sorry. There could be a background in there, just

917
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: very very low. It was.

918
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a moment where I was like, oh,

919
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 2: even in passion, like Paradise. I was like, no, no, no,

920
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 2: that's not right, but it's okay. It's not right, but

921
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 2: it's okay.

922
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: Paradise.

923
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 2: We really do not We were learning those lyrics like

924
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 2: on the side of the stage only yeah, we got

925
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 2: those that morning. I think we were learning them in

926
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 2: the trailer. I remember Tim coming in the trail, the

927
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: makeup trailer because it was so last minute. Remember they

928
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 2: did that overnight.

929
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: That's right, and we didn't. I remember learning very last minute.

930
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: I think maybe had one rehearsal of Paradise by dashboard

931
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: like that I was in. I'm not in that number much,

932
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: so it's not there's not a lot to do, right,

933
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 1: but it was very I'm barely hanging on to this.

934
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 2: I'm to be really yeah, yeah, yeah, just roll across

935
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 2: the stage and I think you look like.

936
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: Somebody pushed me, and then I'll get there totally.

937
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 2: Well, there are a lot of platforms for you, so

938
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 2: those made it difficult.

939
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: That's true. I also think it's funny to me. So

940
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: so many people have said that this is one of

941
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: the most memorable or one of their favorite performances in Glee,

942
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: and that My only thinking for why that could be

943
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: is because of what.

944
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 2: It means, right, emotional connection, what a weird song? What

945
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 2: is a weird song? And then like the number itself

946
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 2: is so like separate. So there's like three people and

947
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 2: three people and you're running and then you're free form

948
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 2: rocking and it's like it's just chaotic. It's actually what

949
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 2: it is. And I don't think it was the most impactful.

950
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 2: It's not like Somebody to Love, No, you know, but

951
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 2: it's good and it's and it's big, and it felt

952
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 2: like new directions of vocal adrenaline moment, which I also understand.

953
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: The movement of it is a little more vocal adrenaline. Yes,

954
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: how do I say.

955
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 2: This refined in that way where it's like a little

956
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 2: more sterile. Yes, it's a lot more technically good. Yes,

957
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 2: yes exactly.

958
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: But then you have acting their faces off, so right,

959
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: telling the story, which is the important part of it.

960
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: And I think we deserve to win after looking at

961
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: all of those performances. I mean, Starlight Express that was ridiculous.

962
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 1: I loved it.

963
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 2: I mean I'm glad they put it down. So we win,

964
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 2: and we go back to McKinley and and we when

965
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 2: we shot Tongue Tied, I remember Eric not letting us

966
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 2: see the sign really Yeah, for some reason, I remember

967
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 2: him trying to keep all of it a secret.

968
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: That makes sense. That sounds very Eric, and like I

969
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: was very emotional watching it. Yeah, it was my favorite

970
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: part of the episode. So good.

971
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 2: I remember shooting it, I remember, I remember everything about it,

972
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 2: and then like watching it back, I was like, oh crap,

973
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 2: this is so good and all the moments within it

974
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,399
Speaker 2: like too, it's just so so Glee, like the five

975
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 2: hundred dollars that Finn and pokuin and the chrack and

976
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 2: then the champagne, which I remember shooting that part and

977
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 2: I never wanted to be in the champagne or the

978
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 2: paint or the whatever. I just never wanted the cleanup.

979
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 2: I never wanted to do it. I don't like mess.

980
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 2: And Eric told Harry, whispered to Harry and was like,

981
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 2: go get jemmauck you Eric, and.

982
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: He got me.

983
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're really good. And my whole hair was My

984
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 2: hair was all wet. We were all soaked, soaked, you

985
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 2: got soaked. But it was really fun.

986
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: It was so much fun, and it just like Eric

987
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: was so good encouraging Mess and that way my memory

988
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: of this, of course, per usual is the recording of

989
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: the song, and it was a hellish experience because it

990
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: was so high for me, and there was this one

991
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: really long note and because I'm not properly trained and

992
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: Alex New likes to call me out on the I

993
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: don't have great breath support and I could not do

994
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: the note. And and this scene was happening, like, oh god,

995
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: oh god, is it in the TV edit? And it

996
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: sure was. And I just sawt like, hey, what are you?

997
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 2: I thought it sounded good, but seeing the celebration was

998
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 2: just so so good. I loved it. And also just

999
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: like the whole school celebrating new directions finally, Yes, Like

1000
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 2: that felt like the victory was like a new direction

1001
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 2: is finally being accepted and celebrated finally. That's really what

1002
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 2: got me. Like the signs, I was like, oh my god,

1003
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 2: that's it.

1004
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm out. I felt really good shooting that too. Do

1005
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: you remember like when we did that going down the

1006
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: halls and.

1007
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 2: It's really fun. Yeah, And like the kisses, they're all

1008
00:58:58,920 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 2: really cute.

1009
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: It really felt real in a lot of ways. It was.

1010
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: It was it's like when you do get to the

1011
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: end of school school year and like your class schedule

1012
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: is different, and so it feels different in those halls.

1013
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: You know. That's how it felt because it was such

1014
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: a different environment from how like these characters normally operate

1015
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: within those halls. Right, it just felt like that that

1016
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: you naturally wanted to celebrate.

1017
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 2: It also felt like a he was like tying up

1018
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 2: loose sentence kind of thing. He felt very like, oh,

1019
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 2: Eric did such a beautiful job with that, like really

1020
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 2: just putting a pin on, Like it was just really good.

1021
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: It's been three years of these students not winning, three

1022
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: years of them getting close and just constantly being the underdog,

1023
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: and then when they finally do, it felt like the

1024
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: proper celebration. Yeah, of that. The weird thing was let's

1025
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: talk about it. Oh the pamphlet. As much as I

1026
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: love Emma and her pamphlets and her pamphlets, I was like,

1027
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: why is this in her cut with the students celebrating

1028
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: like their teachers getting it on and it wasn't that important?

1029
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: It felt so weird of like you deserved it because

1030
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: wasn't that important? Why She's like, can we do that

1031
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: in the separate thing? Does that need to be tied

1032
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: to this? I don't know why it made me so uncomfortable.

1033
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 2: It made me uncomfortable too. I think you made a

1034
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 2: lot of feel uncomfortable.

1035
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: But maybe that tell us.

1036
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah us, I don't know, Well, it brings us to

1037
01:00:50,200 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 2: mister Shoe. Yeah, mister Shoe finally getting credit where it's due.

1038
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: This is a poem.

1039
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 2: This is the Teacher of the Year award, which I

1040
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 2: don't know that we've ever had before either. And so

1041
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 2: you thinks she's getting it, or she knows she's not

1042
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 2: getting it, but she's leading mister Shoode to believe that

1043
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 2: he's not going to get it and that she's gonna

1044
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 2: get it. This is very sweet. It's so sweet, mister

1045
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 2: getting Teacher of the year. Did we shoot I have

1046
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 2: a question for you. Did we shoot that behind the

1047
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 2: curtain at the Cows State Day.

1048
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: As opposed to at McKinley. I don't know. I don't

1049
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: think they would have done that.

1050
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: But we're in the same outfits here, Yeah, we're in

1051
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 2: our competition outfits, which we all had to get to

1052
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 2: again because Leah's hair was different. I'm pretty sure to

1053
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,919
Speaker 2: ask if she thought we shot that on the same

1054
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 2: day as our performances, But it's not because we shot

1055
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: our performances on location and we had to get back in.

1056
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 2: But Lea's hair is very different. It's much curlier, and

1057
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 2: there's any.

1058
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Extra time to film extra things.

1059
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 2: Except for that behind the curtain, which I thought maybe,

1060
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 2: but then I don't think that's right. Maybe my memory

1061
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 2: is just playing tricks on me. Anyway, make them hair

1062
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 2: did a really good job of continuity because we looked

1063
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: exactly the same except Rely's hair.

1064
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Are you saying Leah's hair is different behind the curtain?

1065
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: That is in front of the curtain. Just the competition itself,

1066
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: competition to teacher.

1067
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, mister Shue gets Teacher of the Year ord.

1068
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: It's very cute, you know. Leah doing her like almost

1069
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,479
Speaker 1: gets me. It's very good.

1070
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Well, it's because she was very emotional about like the

1071
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 2: end of the show and so I think or the

1072
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 2: end of this part of this chapter of the show,

1073
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 2: and you could tell she was actually probably trying not

1074
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 2: to cry even more because it as a character. You're like,

1075
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 2: we don't need her bawling. She probably would have, but

1076
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 2: it gets me too, It always gets me. And Corey

1077
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 2: just not crying and being his kind of approach was

1078
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 2: also is very powerful, and they that's why they make

1079
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 2: such a good team.

1080
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 1: It's really sweet. I think it's sweet. I think it's sweet.

1081
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Do you remember filming this, Yes, I do.

1082
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 2: Also very quick, also very quick, mister Saltz. I think

1083
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 2: we did it twice.

1084
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:50,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was remarkably fast. Yes, yes, which makes sense.

1085
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: It goes along with that we did shoot things out

1086
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: of order. I mean we usually did. It was just

1087
01:03:55,880 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: what saves the most time money exactly. But I'm glad

1088
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: he wanted to tear word.

1089
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Looks and sue and even the sue like giving him,

1090
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 2: like the reaction was just really sweet.

1091
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Sweet, and it was just again, it was just nice

1092
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:17,600

Speaker 1: the board, everybody could win together. It was so nice, just.

1095
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: Will the whole episode like feeling like what if we

1096
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 2: don't win, and the fear of it all, like yeah,

1097
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 2: we're raising the stakes.

1098
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: It felt like quintessentially it really it was just joyous

1099
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: and funny and celebratory of these underdogs and like it

1100
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: it was a great episode. Yeah, And I think I

1101
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: would like to hear from people too, like if you

1102
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: were watching this, whether you're you know streaming it now

1103
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: or you're watching and it was on, like, how did

1104
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: it feel to finally get to this and this is

1105
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: what happened? And also it wasn't the season finale. It

1106
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: feels like a season finale. It certainly does. There's more

1107
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: Game of Throne style where an olden episode had the

1108
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: crazies stuff happening. Oh my god, that episode. Should we

1109
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: rate these performances? Okay, let's glory, Jenna, Okay, give it a.

1110
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 2: Okay, A plus I'm coming back to me now, A

1111
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 2: plus paradise, paradise. I also give it a name.

1112
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Day whatever that was? Hey, yeah, wait, I can't get

1113
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: past starship. The lyric change higher than any other of

1114
01:05:56,600 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: any other I couldn't get. That's why I think I

1115
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: fast forward. Also, I don't know why, but the music

1116
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: in this episode was mixed so interestingly, where the leads

1117
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: were so hot and the backgrounds are so low that

1118
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: all you hear is just higher than any other, literally

1119
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: higher than any other vocal or instrument, like it was.

1120
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 1: That's right, Alex something, I mean, I get the performance

1121
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: of B.

1122
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 3: Plus B plus just because right tongue tighty A plus

1123
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 3: plus the sex plus your your vocal including your vocals.

1124
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 2: We are the champions. It was really sweet, a for

1125
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 2: effort and emotional.

1126
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, great, let's.

1127
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 2: Do some Tardi takes. The cringe moments, I think the

1128
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 2: teacher giving talking about her intervention episode, coming out and

1129
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 2: her addiction to pain killers. I was like, wrong time,

1130
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 2: wrong place, wrong.

1131
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: Right. I mean Alex's split lift. The split split lift

1132
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: was stupid. It's so good. Best song. I'm gonna go

1133
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: with Paradise just because it encapsulates everything. Okay, it's a

1134
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: weird song, but the performance, I think, okay.

1135
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, that's a tough line between the performance versus song.

1136
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the prop I mean that big ass trophy of course,

1137
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: and a personal one that the popcorn best lines.

1138
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 2: When it's to hear cringe moment it Fall's response is

1139
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 2: go softly into that street.

1140
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: It's all so good. He is so good. There's a

1141
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: couple of lines and scenes in an episode and he

1142
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: just makes me a lot. It's so good.

1143
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 2: Also, Jesse saying most people don't realize they lost ten

1144
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 2: pounds during and I was.

1145
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, justice for cackle. He I will saying I

1146
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 1: just don't want everything we work for to collapse because

1147
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: of one bad Brido. It's also like conscious to me,

1148
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: it's so silly accurate. It doesn't take much to bring

1149
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:45,759
Speaker 1: us down. Performance MVP. Oh man, this is a good one. Okay.

1150
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 2: Well, I have to say we never give Jane m VP,

1151
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 2: but she's always just so solid that sometimes I think

1152
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 2: it gets overlooked. Sure, but I give her honorable mention

1153
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 2: in this episode. Mm hmm, I think I think.

1154
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 1: It's a Leah Cory. Yeah, I think it's Ally and

1155
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:14,839
Speaker 1: Corey agreed. Okay, you really sold this whole episode. Totally

1156
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: dip to Eric Stoltz because he directed a beast of
