Speaker 2: Very successful run. I loved it. I loved doing it.

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, and I believe it.

Speaker 2: Yeah, if you came to see the Frogs and you

00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: told me that you listened to the podcast, I appreciate it.

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: I love when people tell me they listen to the podcast.

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: And people have been rewatching it with us, and there

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: was a show like there was somebody at one show

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: like oh, the episode came out during the show, so

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: I haven't listened to it yet, Like, ah see, it's

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: really nice. Yeah, isn't that nice?

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: It's nice in the wild.

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of gleeks came out and that was

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: it was really nice.

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm to see you, Kevin.

31
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: And now we're going to get crazy with some of

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: these hot takes.

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: Not just the point. There are Instagram posts, dealer comments,

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: there are voice notes, there are dms. So we're we're coming.

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: We're firing hot from all cylinders here. Let's start, uh

36
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: start easy here. Okay, Tina should have never proposed to

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: Mike during the wedding episode. It was so unnecessary. I

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: have to agree. I know it's I don't know that that's.

39
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: A hot take, you know what I beg to differ.

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: It's such a Tina thing to do.

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, So would that make it a hot take?

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: If it is hot take, then I think that's a

44
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: hot take.

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I agree, Okay.

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: My spiciest hot take is that FABERI should have been Cannon.

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: That's all. That would have been wild, and I think

48
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: it would have worked.

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: It definitely would have worked a lot of people actually

50
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: have been saying this, Oh, that it should have happened. Okay,

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get so much slacked for this, but I

52
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: personally think that Clane, although a great couple this season,

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: should not have been Endgame. My reasoning is, I felt

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: like the latter half of season five in the first

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: half of season six showed why Blame and Kirk got

56
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: a lot better when they were just friends. I felt

57
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: like in the beginning of season six they really showed

58
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: that they could function without the other exclusively in their

59
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: wise and Blaine catching fins for Kurt Oliver again, in

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: my opinion, betrayed the character growth that he had. Specifically,

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: I love the ending they got from a narrative perspective

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: of being them being endgame wasn't the right.

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: All Wow, I mean beautiful explanation.

64
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it.

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Hot take, hot take Season five Newbies should have been

66
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: brought back to compete alongside the new season six cast

67
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: instead of conveniently adding all the Warblers to the team. WHOA, Yeah,

68
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: I would have liked to see that.

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Well, that could be the reboot.

70
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of hot takes about a reboot.

71
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: Really hot take. If they were to make a Glee reboot,

72
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: it should be based on new high school kids at McKinley,

73
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: and Brittany should be their teacher. That way, all the

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: Bonker lesson plans and over the top numbers would make

75
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: more sense because it's Brittany. They should occasionally have the

76
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: og cast do cameos, but hardly at all. When Artie

77
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: comes back, don't have Kevin in a wheelchair, and don't

78
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: mention it at all. At the very end of the scene,

79
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: have Brittany say something like you seem taller, very funny.

80
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: Hi, Jen and Kevin. My name is Ryan, I'm a

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: big fan. I also went to the same high school

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: as Chenna oh hi Ran graduated the year before we

83
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: premiered Okay. So my hentake is that the music ultimately

84
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: hurt the show more than it helped it. You can

85
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: tell that early writing was plot driven. They found the

86
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: music that worked with it, but quickly when the popularity

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 1: of music took off, the plot being built around songs

88
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: and tributes, more often than not felt shaky and the

89
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: episodes became too bloated with musical numbers taking time away

90
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: from what was a well constructed, driven story at the start.

91
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: I would have preferred less songs to make time for

92
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: punk Pink Cared, Quinn or Kurt and Mercedes being friends. Okay,

93
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: I find that there is true to some of this, right.

94
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: I think ultimately there is no show without the music. Really,

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: but were some of these points in fact's true? Yes?

96
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: And some aspect some parts of the show you're not. Yeah,

97
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it, I get.

98
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 2: It, Hi, Jenna and Kevin. My hot take is that

99
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: people think they want a Glee reboot, but what they

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: actually want is a new Glee Cast album. Oh season

101
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: season six is already a reboot itself, og Cast coming

102
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: back to mentor the new Generation. What we actually need

103
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: is the og Cast singing new covers. Mmmmm Okay, I

104
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: do like that. That's easy to do.

105
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: I love singing covers. Okay, let's do a voice No, okay.

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: Hi, guys, this is Dylan from New York. Here's Michaelee hotache.

107
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: Arti and Katy were supposed to be and game period.

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: They were the perfect couple, complete opposites who found each other.

109
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: Keat's my favorite character in the entire series, beca such

110
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: an incredible actress, and you could really see how being

111
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: with Artie was a turning point in her character arc.

112
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: I was so mad that I already ended up with Tina. Anyways,

113
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: love the podcast. Oh and Jenna, thank you for sending

114
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: me an autograph back in twenty thirteen and making my

115
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: fifteen year old self instantly popular in school.

116
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: I love you.

117
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: Bye, Oh my god.

118
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: You know what's interesting is that we never so as

119
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: a cast. I don't think we ever talked about like

120
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: who Endgame should be or anything like that totally, and

121
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: so I sure we had, but maybe a little bit,

122
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: but I don't think it was. And so many people

123
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: feel this way about I think people think Mike and

124
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: Tina should have ended up together. There's one right here

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: that says Tina and Mike should have been endgame and

126
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: not a fan of her and Arty together, love them platonically,

127
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: just not together, And so I get it. And I

128
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: do think Artie the relationship with the Arty was good

129
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: for Kitty. Remember how like the horrible things Kitty would

130
00:06:52,640 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: say horrible, horrible, Okay, wow, Yeah, I'm not saying I

131
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: agree with it, but.

132
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: No, no, I see it. I see it. Spiciest hot

133
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: take I ever saw with someone saying they didn't feel

134
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: bad after Santana got outed. That gagged me exponentially. Yeah,

135
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: all right, this is long, but I think it's worth stating.

136
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: Tell us a tale hot take.

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: I actually liked the Roderick storyline in Child Star and

138
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: here's why, and Kevin we both didn't like this. It

139
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: portrayed the reality in being plus sized and the struggle

140
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: can cause, especially in something like gym class. The development

141
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: between him and Spencer was relatable. Spencer being a jock,

142
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: though I thought he needed tough love, but roder communicated

143
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: that isn't what's going to help him, and eventually Spencer

144
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: adapted to how he helped him. No, I hated the

145
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: pressure of the rope climbing to save myron. As a

146
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: fat person, I'd be pissed, but otherwise the story was

147
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: a surprisingly relatable one for plus sized people. Often I

148
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: need help when I'm trying to lose weight or do something.

149
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: It's difficult due to size, but I have to communicate

150
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: how people can help me. It feels very different than

151
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: like the Mercedes Taught story and one similar when the

152
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: joke isn't about the weight, but rather jokes are throughout

153
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: a story about someone struggling with their weight. I don't

154
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: mind when you're big. Unfortunately, being big is the main

155
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: topic throughout your life, so it makes sense that it

156
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: would be a plot point. But it's much bigger when

157
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: it's But it's much better when it's like this instead

158
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: of just a joke.

159
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: Ah Well said very Well said, that makes sense.

160
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I appreciate the perspective. It's like I didn't know,

161
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's right. Okay, great, thank you for that.

162
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: Justice for Sam and Rachel Duetz, respectfully, I disagree with y'all.

163
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 2: Their voices sound great together. And two, the Blade and

164
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: Crossey storyline is overheted Krofski went through a lot and

165
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: grew as a person. Is it a great storyline? No?

166
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: But do I think it deserves the amount of hate

167
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: it gets. There's been crazier things on Glee. Wow, sizzling.

168
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: That is sizzling.

169
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that there has been.

170
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: I know, I think that's up there with some of

171
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: the greatest things.

172
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: But I appreciate it.

173
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: Season six, Blaine should have sung Love changes Everything, and

174
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: series Claian should have just been friends.

175
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: Okay. A lot of people saying this, mm hmm, let's

176
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: do another voice now.

177
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: I think it's absolutely wild and very insane that out

178
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: of nowhere Rachel and Sam, Like, did they have a

179
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: did they have a conversation that they were breaking up?

180
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 4: Were they an official couple? Because Jesse and Rachel just

181
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 4: start making out after singing a song like they always

182
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: do in the auditorium and then they just start making

183
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: out out of nowhere and then they're together. Then they're

184
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: just like together, and then what happened to Sam?

185
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Like, who's did.

186
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: Anyone break up with Sam? Because I don't I don't

187
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: see anything. Also, having Tina and Artie, I'm.

188
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 5: Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

189
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: Having Tina and Laradi be Endgame is nuts because everyone

190
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 4: and their mother wanted to see Tina and Mike be Endgame.

191
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 4: That was so and I don't know, I don't know

192
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 4: how I felt about that. That was really like I

193
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: didn't expect it, and I think a lot of people

194
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: were very pissed off about it. I remember being on

195
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: Twitter at this time, and this was an insane thing.

196
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: Okay, Jenna, we didn't know anything. We we The thing

197
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: we take away from this podcast is that Already and Tina,

198
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: we're not beloved as a couple together that should have

199
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: ended up together. You know, we were like, I'm so

200
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: happy we ended up together.

201
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just wanted it.

202
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's why the writers did it, like they

203
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: felt like, we're like, please.

204
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: It's because we're best friends.

205
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: Best friends. But also Harry, I heard Tina and Mike

206
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: and and Already and Kitty, that's really what they wanted

207
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, so fascinating to me.

208
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I also wonder if some of that is like budget,

209
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: like having everybody come back like you and I are

210
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: already on the show.

211
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, they're like, Okay, we're.

212
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: Already under contract like we had.

213
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: The pro was definitely not what it was season three.

214
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, and yeah, I mean poor Sam.

215
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: I agree. Did someone tells Sam?

216
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh I know? I know? Oh poor Sam, Poor Sam.

217
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that anything, Like, I don't I actually

218
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: don't know.

219
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

220
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: Okay, hot take. Season six is better than seasons four

221
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: and five. I wish instead of going to New York,

222
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: I think it would have been better had they really

223
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: focused on the new kids the way season six did.

224
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: Season six goes off the rocker with the Jakes stuff.

225
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: It has the heart that season one has, and I

226
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: wish we got more of it. That is a hot take,

227
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: but also a lot of people are saying it, so

228
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: doesn't make it less of a hot take because everybody's

229
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: saying that.

230
00:11:52,720 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I still think it's hot. It's warm.

231
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: Hi. My hot take is that Shelby being Rachel's house

232
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: sister makes more sense. They say in season one that

233
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: her dad's used a surrogate. They both could have come

234
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: from the same egg donor and then found each other

235
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: on a twenty three me type situation. I'm not actually

236
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 1: sure if that was a thing back then or not,

237
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: but I think that it would have been a fun

238
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: story line to follow up.

239
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't hate that.

240
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't need that either.

241
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: Hot take. Glee dropped the ball not doing a summer

242
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: season the year Kurt and Rachel graduated. Could have been

243
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: pool parties, summer jobs, steam parks, barbecues at the Humble

244
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: House would have been a blast. I fully agree. I

245
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: don't think that's a hot take. I think everyone wants

246
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: to see that. I don't know, you don't want to

247
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: see that.

248
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: No, it reminds me of like Saved by the Bell

249
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: of the Camp serious season that they like go to

250
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: summer camp, or like where they're the camp till it's

251
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: not really.

252
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: Hot take curtain, Blaine ultimately get divorced. They hear that

253
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: X couple that hooks up at every reunion.

254
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, wait, this is funny. Somebody says, hot take,

255
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: I know you won't read. Well, I'm going to read it.

256
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: This show would not have worked without Lea's Rachel, and

257
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: the since bias to try and make Rachel some villain

258
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: misses the entire point of the show and how necessary

259
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: it is that she's the lead. There's many talented people

260
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: in the castpout Corey has been and Lee's Rachel, and

261
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: Jane is too that she truly wouldn't have fallen, would

262
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: have fallen apart.

263
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a hot take obviously either.

264
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: I definitely believe that true.

265
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: Rachel's the lead of the show. She's never one, and

266
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's making her the villain.

267
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I do think that like online, maybe like Rael,

268
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: the recent TikTokers have been like, oh, maybe Rachel was

269
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: a villain, like the way.

270
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: That the reason why people like her or dislike her

271
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: is the same thing, Yes, exactly, And so it's like

272
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: whether you like her because you don't like her, you're

273
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: still watching her and like she's still necessary, yes, exactly

274
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: for the show. And so like I and there's some

275
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: famous people that actually had this conversation with someone and

276
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: I won't see who it's about, but they have it's

277
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: not about Yeah, they have quite a reputation for being difficult.

278
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: And I was saying, they're so talented that I hope

279
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: you know that they learn from that and I get

280
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: it together because they are they are so talented. And

281
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: my friend was like, well, I think what happens when

282
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: you're in this industry and you are so motivated, like

283
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: you have your end goal like Rachel's like I'm getting

284
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: to Broadway and nothing's going to stop me, Like the

285
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: train is moving, and like you're either on my side

286
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: or you're against me. But like I know my point

287
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: A to point B is, and so what happens when

288
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: you finally get to point b, like when the dog

289
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: finally catches the thing you have to like then I

290
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: think that's the switch for people is they don't know

291
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: how to switch that thing off, that motivation off in

292
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: terms of like oh now I've made it and now

293
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: I can rest no rest and be kind and sort

294
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: of like it doesn't just have to be like fully focused,

295
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: because when you're in that fully focused mode, like a

296
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: Rachel or this other person, you can sometimes say things

297
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: or treat people in a certain way that isn't necessarily

298
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: the kindest because you're just complete. And I'm not saying

299
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: that justifies not treating people nicely, But I think some

300
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: people like Rachel, like when you get to a certain

301
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: level of success, it's like the success should be enough thing, right, right, Yes,

302
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: like you don't need to keep doing it?

303
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure. Does that make sense to

304
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Yeah, yeah, no, definitely. Let's do a

305
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: voice no.

306
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: Hi.

307
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 5: My hot take is that Rachel Berry is actually a

308
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 5: hugely sympathetic character and widely and massively over hated by fans.

309
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 5: I accept she's abrasive, she's blunt, and she's ruthless, but

310
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 5: most of the time this is to protect the people

311
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: or things that she loves. And there's huge and unfear

312
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 5: double standards where people give passes to other characters doing

313
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 5: morally reprehensible and questionable things, but condemning Rachel for stuff

314
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 5: that I would say, honestly isn't half as bad. I'm

315
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 5: excluding the Crackhouse incident of us, everything else I can forgive.

316
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 5: I love her. I think she's she's flawed and she's

317
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 5: fabulous and everything.

318
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: I agree.

319
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

320
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's funny though to me because like every fan

321
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: that we've you speak about, like, I don't feel like

322
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Rachel is hated, but.

323
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we're not seeing that.

324
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: I do.

325
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: Maybe we never hated. It's just like us wanting alreadyent

326
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: Tina to be together, just.

327
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: Like blindly like on going to Glee World without life.

328
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: It's also already realizing it. I'm not getting like Rachel

329
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: hate on my algorithm, you know what I mean? No, no, totally,

330
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: You're right. We didn't Rachel no exactly personally, and so

331
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: I think, maybe, okay, we're missing it.

332
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 2: I see.

333
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: It's funny because I didn't. I didn't realize that. I

334
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: don't think. But I think if you're a bit I

335
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: think if you actually watched the show, if you're not

336
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: someone who's just like clocking in for a couple episodes

337
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: or just seeing things on Twitter, then you know Rachel's

338
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: a sympathetic character totally, and like yea outside, yes, okay.

339
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: And so I've never hated Rachel.

340
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: No, me neither. I think I've just been blind to it.

341
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: But I think like her personality and like her storyline

342
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: and drive and the way she handles it for good,

343
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: the good and the bad is what the whole show

344
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: is about.

345
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: Well, and also though, like, let's talk about the double

346
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: standard again. Like a girl, like a bad, high achieving,

347
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: like wildly motivated, driven character can be hated. But a

348
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: man who does that is successful and becomes a billionaire

349
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: and is like highly regarded and is like respected of like, wow,

350
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: look what he did. It's like, come on, you guys, fully, yeah,

351
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, mm hmm, Okay, let's do a few more.

352
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: This is a really good hot take because I feel

353
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: like the thing that we've learned about season six is

354
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people wish that the Season six Newbies

355
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: came in sooner, right, that we had got more time

356
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: with them, that they came in season four, that they're

357
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: an eclectic bunch. Well, this one says. My hat take

358
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: is I don't like the Season six Newbies at all.

359
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I was actually shocked to know when everybody loves them.

360
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: For me, it was obvious that they didn't make sense

361
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: at all. No shade on any of the actors, of course,

362
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: but they didn't click for me in any way. I mean,

363
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old boy weird twins of postmodern gay

364
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: what does that even mean? I felt like I was

365
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: watching a bad Nickelodeon spin off, and I wanted for

366
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: it to end. Meanwhile, I really liked the Season four Newbies. Yes,

367
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: they had some traits of the Ogs, but they had depth,

368
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: pert and charisma, lots of love from Italy.

369
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: Season six should have been entirely a time jump season.

370
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: It was already shorter than all the others, and it

371
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: became clear that there wasn't much plotline left for the

372
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: Glee Club. Season six could have been a short season

373
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: to explore how we got to where we were in

374
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: the official time jump, how did Rachel end up a surrogate,

375
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: how did she find about her Tony nam et cetera.

376
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: I have to maybe agree, And this person also had

377
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: another one said, now I like to think this is

378
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: a hot take, but I don't know why many people do.

379
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: I think Quinn Puck should have kept Beth.

380
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: It would have been too expensive jet babies.

381
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, logistically it would have been a problem.

382
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: Let's do We've got some other really good voice notes,

383
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: I think, so let's do your voice note.

384
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 6: Hi, I'm Ramona. I've been an og gleague since the beginning.

385
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 6: I loved rewatching Glee with you and hearing your takes. However,

386
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 6: I have to disagree on one thing. My hot take

387
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 6: is that be Okay as a duet is top tier

388
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 6: Glee duet. The harmonies are incredible. It's actually in my

389
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 6: top ten Glee songs. Ever, Wow, I will die on

390
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 6: this hill.

391
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: I love that for you, Love that for you.

392
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: Let's do another one.

393
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 7: My spiciest hot take is that of all of the

394
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 7: truly bonkers things that happened on Glee, the thing that

395
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 7: was most inexplicable and that keeps me up at night

396
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 7: and that I think about constantly to this day, is

397
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 7: when Blaine said to Kurt, all of this bird talk.

398
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: Is making me horny.

399
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 7: Don't understand what he meant by that.

400
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: Thank you for your time.

401
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: Oh god, you know, and that's my favorite part about

402
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 2: the show. Honestly keeps you up to night.

403
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: Doesn't really make sense, but somewhere in the either it

404
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: made sense to somebody, and it still makes you laugh.

405
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: It's funny.

406
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: It makes you laugh every time.

407
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 2: Oh God, I think on that note, because I'm getting

408
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: any better than that.

409
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for you're writing in. You guys are

410
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: the best. We love these spicy hot takees. We love

411
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: hearing all the different different opinions. I still stand and

412
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: we'll die on the hill that Arnie and Tina should

413
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: have ended up together because they did so you can

414
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: nothing you can do about it.

415
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,399
