Speaker 1: and I Heart Radio podcast. Welcome to and That's what
Speaker 1: You Really Missed podcast. I'm Jenna Shqwitz and I am
Speaker 1: still Kevin Michale, and today we have a fun special episode.
Speaker 1: UM fan participation if you will wild m Jenna, what
Speaker 1: are we doing? We are doing and ask me anything? Episode?
Speaker 1: And the amount of questions we got, we could do
Speaker 1: twenty of these and maybe we will. Everybody's amazing. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I love these. These are really these questions were absolutely amazing,
Speaker 1: And thank you for sending him in. Keep setting him
Speaker 1: in and we'll do more of these, I think if
Speaker 1: you like them. There were there were some themes here.
Speaker 1: We will address the frequent questions. There were some great questions,
Speaker 1: some thoughtful questions. UM, and this we were all very
Speaker 1: very excited. So yeah, to echo, Jenna said, very should have.
Speaker 1: Let's get into a Jenna, let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just scroll in here and look at one
Speaker 1: of the randomly, I'm just gonna pick one. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: did you get to choose Alicia Facciano. Also, please, we're
Speaker 1: apologizing now for the bottery of names that we will
Speaker 1: message you so thank you so much, thank you for
Speaker 1: your patients. Um. Alicia Fasciano said, did you get to
Speaker 1: choose your spots in the choir room scenes or were
Speaker 1: they chosen for you? As a very good question, A
Speaker 1: lot of the time we were allowed to choose them.
Speaker 1: A lot of the time we uh, we kind of
Speaker 1: chose them on our own, knowing our little storylines that
Speaker 1: we're going on. You're like, well, I have to sit
Speaker 1: next to Artie because we have lines and you know
Speaker 1: we're dating. But I can't sit next to Finn because
Speaker 1: we just got in a fight. So there was a
Speaker 1: lot of like jigging jigging wow um. And then some
Speaker 1: directors would come in and have spots for us, like
Speaker 1: Karas Barclay or extols who knew us very well would
Speaker 1: assign a seat. So it just depended on the director, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did, um, And dependent on the scene. Some of
Speaker 1: them we needed to be sitting across from each other
Speaker 1: for like a particular shot where we could like throw
Speaker 1: a glance and the some sitting right next to you,
Speaker 1: then that wouldn't work. So yeah, it's it's very depending
Speaker 1: on who was in charge. E Carosi, I totally. I
Speaker 1: know I'm futuring this. UM asked what was the hardest
Speaker 1: song you had to sing on the show? Oh? Um,
Speaker 1: I think um my top two, like the first thing
Speaker 1: coming to my three, um or foot Loose just because
Speaker 1: Luke Edgemond did some insane ad lib and that song
Speaker 1: is weirdly just so high. UM at last was very difficult.
Speaker 1: And having to do a song like that, like an
Speaker 1: iconic song that you don't want to mess up with
Speaker 1: Amber was also just a lot of extra pressure, you know,
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't. Yeah, that was very difficult. Um. And
Speaker 1: I would say another one was p y T was
Speaker 1: probably the hardest because I did have like a hundred
Speaker 1: and two fever and I would sing a line it
Speaker 1: would basically be like where did it come from a baby,
Speaker 1: And then we had to supper five minutes after my
Speaker 1: voice to come back because it would go out every line. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really sad. What about you? You know? I
Speaker 1: was having vocal issues mid seasons, I want to say,
Speaker 1: like four or five, and UM, I never quite figured
Speaker 1: out what it was. It was partially acid reflux and
Speaker 1: partially I don't know anyway, your body rejected. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: was tired. Um, dog Dy's was actually very much in
Speaker 1: my register, but those higher moments were really hard for
Speaker 1: me to sustain during those times. So dog Days was
Speaker 1: really hard because I wanted to nail it, obviously because
Speaker 1: you're seeing with Amber at number two days. Because like
Speaker 1: one of my favorite songs for the record, thank You,
Speaker 1: I tried, And then um, because You Love Me was
Speaker 1: incredibly difficult. Um, I knew it so well that it
Speaker 1: was actually it was easy to do, but it was
Speaker 1: so hard. I mean, who can sing Celene and do
Speaker 1: it well? And then um, Congdom Style obviously for its
Speaker 1: own reasons was the hardest. Emotionally, Yeah, yeah, definitely emotionally,
Speaker 1: and um, physically and learning another language one of the
Speaker 1: hardest languages to learn. And yeah, just like in thirty
Speaker 1: minutes follow up to that, was there an easiest song
Speaker 1: that you just knew so well that you could just do?
Speaker 1: That's you know, Flash Dance was a really fun one
Speaker 1: for me. I'm pretty easy to do. Um and yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah that was that was one that was an easy one.
Speaker 1: What about You I Think Stronger by Britney Spears. I
Speaker 1: was scared of that high note at the end, but
Speaker 1: once I got in there and started recording it. It
Speaker 1: ended up being one of the quickest sessions because I
Speaker 1: just knew it. Yeah, fully jumped out, Well, I'm glad
Speaker 1: it did. I'm glad we got UM. Here's one from
Speaker 1: Poison Blossom. What was your least favorite character storyline? Oh,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of them. Um, I don't know. Honestly,
Speaker 1: your your STD storyline was my only story I actually didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I just think the idea of
Speaker 1: you and an STD costume freaks me out. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: wasn't great. That might be my don't There were times
Speaker 1: when there was. It wasn't necessarily storyline, but I feel
Speaker 1: like my response to um was the writer's story, It's
Speaker 1: like a really serious story and then already replies super
Speaker 1: insensitively obviously that's not my storyline. But he did a
Speaker 1: couple of those things, a couple of times where he
Speaker 1: just seemed like an ass. I'm just like, what who
Speaker 1: is this? It's one of those times where you like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's not me. It is a character. Fine, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and also a storyline. Probably STD. It was fun because
Speaker 1: it was insane. Oh wait, I think maybe I've told
Speaker 1: this story. When Taylor Swift visited during that episode, and
Speaker 1: I'm yes, did you know this? Do you remember this?
Speaker 1: I mean I knew Taylor was around because her and
Speaker 1: Diana were friends, but she was filming on Paramount that
Speaker 1: day and through Diana and she, I was filming. One
Speaker 1: of the scenes were like the musical number. I'm in
Speaker 1: this really gross, ugly hot sweater. I'm probably pretty sninky,
Speaker 1: and we were like filming with the the girls um
Speaker 1: that I was like cooking up with at the time.
Speaker 1: And then Roger comes over to me and it's like, um,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is here, I would like to see and
Speaker 1: he was whispering like what we're is? She's like right here.
Speaker 1: He turns around and Jesus right there like he and
Speaker 1: everyone's like, what's going on? I felt very funny. I
Speaker 1: was like, don't worry as girl friends swiftly came to visit.
Speaker 1: But also that that follow up question to that brookalize
Speaker 1: as what song would Tina sing from Taylor Swifts Midnight album?
Speaker 1: And I think Genma and Tina would sing Mastermind sounds
Speaker 1: about right, Which wasn't that the song that played when
Speaker 1: Ryan got his Golden Globe? Was it? I think it
Speaker 1: was that's really funny. Actually, yeah, it all makes sense.
Speaker 1: It all makes sense. I've got a question, um, Leah, like,
Speaker 1: was there really so much drama on set like the
Speaker 1: media reported? Now, I know we've talked about this before,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of juice swirling around right now,
Speaker 1: and I would like that sentence that juice swirling around.
Speaker 1: I'm in rare form this week. So I there was
Speaker 1: a lot of jews swirling around in the media, and um,
Speaker 1: I would like to be debunket. No, there really was
Speaker 1: not so much drama on set. There were there were
Speaker 1: peaks and valleys. There were definitely times where things would
Speaker 1: go on or there would be like somebody was in
Speaker 1: a fight of some sort or an argument, or somebody
Speaker 1: would wrap themselves and be like I'm done for the
Speaker 1: day and leave, because sometimes we really hit those those
Speaker 1: points where it was time to go. Um. But no,
Speaker 1: I know percent of the time. Percent of the time. Um,
Speaker 1: like any kind of like water cooler talk or drama,
Speaker 1: there's like little bits of that here and there. But no,
Speaker 1: it never felt like that. No, it definitely didn't. Remember
Speaker 1: there would be like magazine articles too, like we would
Speaker 1: laugh at the time. Yeah, like what is this like
Speaker 1: also like who was going around saying these things? Even
Speaker 1: now if I see people like saying certain things like
Speaker 1: none of this is true, that is the craziest magazine
Speaker 1: to you remember I was We were on the cover
Speaker 1: I think of in Touch for US Weekly and it
Speaker 1: was Glee Kids Gone wild mm hmm. And it was
Speaker 1: very like stupid, like there wasn't even like pointed stuff
Speaker 1: to like talk about because there was nothing to talk about.
Speaker 1: And it was like they're going out to drink and
Speaker 1: we're like, well, we are of age and we work
Speaker 1: really hard and sometimes we like to have a drink.
Speaker 1: It was very they were grasping. I think people wanted something,
Speaker 1: so it was just easy to they wanted to see
Speaker 1: the Glee on the cover of whatever is um speaking
Speaker 1: of which Faith zero four When one asked, have you
Speaker 1: signed any India's that keep you from talking poorly about
Speaker 1: another co star? Which is there are no Indias that
Speaker 1: were signed in the making of Glee or postly about
Speaker 1: talking about anyone for better or for worse. I wonder
Speaker 1: if people obviously people do think that, but no, I
Speaker 1: feel like as a cast, we've done nothing but to
Speaker 1: publicly prove that we talked pretty openly about everything. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the funny thing is, like that's all that way.
Speaker 1: We we talked about things so openly and it's not
Speaker 1: really like a lot of news and people are like,
Speaker 1: well there must be more. Yeah, okay, So Slinker Andrew said,
Speaker 1: what were your guys favorite memories when filming in New York?
Speaker 1: New York deserves its own episode and it will have
Speaker 1: its own episode because there was so much happening. But
Speaker 1: the thing that I remember the most about New York
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, we're gonna be working so much.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy, Like it's such a big episode. I
Speaker 1: think we shot a total of five minutes in you
Speaker 1: because there were so many fans and so much paparazzi,
Speaker 1: they could only bring us outside to shoot at like
Speaker 1: tk ts or wherever. We were on the streets for
Speaker 1: a very short amount of time before like things got
Speaker 1: dangerous or weird and we had to go back in.
Speaker 1: And I feel like we just like hung out a lot.
Speaker 1: We did. It was so weird, went out a lot
Speaker 1: of nights in the nights, and we went to work
Speaker 1: very early and showed up and did our job. But
Speaker 1: like a lot of the time we were able to
Speaker 1: kind of just hang out and we watched the We
Speaker 1: got up and watched the Royal Wedding. When we were
Speaker 1: in New York. Um, we celebrated mine in Diana's birthday
Speaker 1: in New York with our friend Will. It was a
Speaker 1: really fun time. It was a great time. I also
Speaker 1: remember showing up and the script wasn't done for that
Speaker 1: first New York episode. Remember that it was the first
Speaker 1: time that had happened, and so we were shooting with
Speaker 1: like three quarters of the script and so we still
Speaker 1: don't know how the episode ended. Yeah, and so we
Speaker 1: were just and like in New York, the trailers have
Speaker 1: to be on the street, so it felt very much
Speaker 1: like we had like there was security and everything and
Speaker 1: people couldn't but it did feel like anytime we would
Speaker 1: go outside of our trailer to walk to another trailer
Speaker 1: or walked here and makeup, there was pop Rozzie everywhere.
Speaker 1: So there's all these photos online of all of us
Speaker 1: like sort of yelling to each other outside of our
Speaker 1: doors and just being dumb. But it was so I
Speaker 1: felt so lucky because we got to sort of like
Speaker 1: shut down these beautiful areas of New York and like
Speaker 1: in Central Park and village times Times Square, Remember Times Square.
Speaker 1: I think we shot that thing in Time Square twice
Speaker 1: and then that was it. It felt pretty rock star,
Speaker 1: I have to say, like it felt very famous and
Speaker 1: also like I was, like, yes it was I was home,
Speaker 1: so it was just nice to be home. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that was so cool for you. Oh it's awesome. My
Speaker 1: my mother and my sister in law and my dad
Speaker 1: and my my um, dad's cousin worry in the extras
Speaker 1: in Lincoln Center. That's so cute. At the Lincoln Center.
Speaker 1: That was really quick too. I barely remember filming there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was fun. Do you remember this? So?
Speaker 1: Breaking the Curtain asked thoughts on the Glee novels that
Speaker 1: were released during the first few seasons. I have no
Speaker 1: thoughts because I did not know there were novels. Did
Speaker 1: you know that I know about fan fiction, I don't
Speaker 1: know about the novels. Yeah, if that is real, can
Speaker 1: somebody like send us those because just on Twitter that
Speaker 1: is wild? Okay? Yeah, Julie Jules said, what was your
Speaker 1: favorite Amber Riley performance? Yeah, there's so many, ain't away.
Speaker 1: It is definitely one of them. Um, and I'm telling
Speaker 1: you was also one of them. Ain't No Way on
Speaker 1: tour was unreal. Look, and I'm telling you because I
Speaker 1: got to see Amber do it in London in dream
Speaker 1: Girls like postally as well, so it felt very full
Speaker 1: circle and um was really cool, really cool. I think
Speaker 1: I always think of tour, I think of Ain't No Way,
Speaker 1: and I think um River deep down hyah was just
Speaker 1: of course, So I'm not gonna lie. I had to
Speaker 1: go on YouTube earlier and Jasmine d From made this
Speaker 1: video fifteen minute video of the ranking every Tina coin
Speaker 1: Chang song because I had to go on and watch
Speaker 1: because I didn't remember all the songs that I did.
Speaker 1: It's hard to remember some of those, like like I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just some songs that I didn't remember.
Speaker 1: And it was really great. And I'm now going to
Speaker 1: go down a hole and do it for all the
Speaker 1: characters because I believe there there must be ones for
Speaker 1: like you and Amber and everybody else are one. Um,
Speaker 1: no one but shells asked for there where any of
Speaker 1: the guest stars divas. No, No, The guest stars were
Speaker 1: actually usually the easiest, the coolest, happy to be there
Speaker 1: and like really like Gwyneth, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker
Speaker 1: all awesome. Everyone is so cool. I remember Kate Hudson
Speaker 1: just hanging out in base camp and just been like, hey,
Speaker 1: so like the schedules crazy, is it's normal? I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. She's like I haven't gotten the song back
Speaker 1: yet that I recorded, and I was like, yeah, here's
Speaker 1: from the time table of like how that works. Like
Speaker 1: oh really, It's like, okay, that's good to know. It
Speaker 1: was just she was so like hanging with us all
Speaker 1: the time. Everyone was really really nice. So co Heavens
Speaker 1: did being the only two o g s grab that
Speaker 1: graduated in season five bond you together more. Um, it
Speaker 1: didn't feel like we're the only two o g s
Speaker 1: because like there was like Cordy and Darren and and everybody,
Speaker 1: and then everybody else felt like they just were, you know,
Speaker 1: part of the crew. But I do I like this
Speaker 1: question because do you remember we only found out we
Speaker 1: were going to be We were juniors on the panel
Speaker 1: at Comic Con when they announced it to everybody. I
Speaker 1: do not remember that. Oh, we were at Comic Con
Speaker 1: for the first time. We were so excited. All the
Speaker 1: photos we look like such babies, and um, I remember
Speaker 1: Brad and Ryan and they're like, what about the graduating
Speaker 1: class blah blah blah, And they're like, well, Tina and Nardi,
Speaker 1: you're juniors and me and you on the panel were
Speaker 1: like this boom and I was like oh, and then
Speaker 1: the wheels like start turning on stage. I'm like having
Speaker 1: to process the fact that we're not graduating, which we
Speaker 1: were like very excited about. I was very excited about
Speaker 1: the time, um because just because you're like something new,
Speaker 1: something different, We're we're all going, what's going to happen
Speaker 1: to the show, and then all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 1: like you get to be in the choir room for
Speaker 1: another hole year. When I when we found out, I
Speaker 1: do remember feeling um thankful, because I was worried that
Speaker 1: if I was in New York or something like like oh,
Speaker 1: maybe it wouldn't be on the show anymore. And it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm still in high school, so I still got a
Speaker 1: job I'm going to do. We think we were going
Speaker 1: to get like kicked off the show at some point?
Speaker 1: Was that a thing where like are we going to
Speaker 1: be in the show? Like maybe they won't bring everyone
Speaker 1: to New York because that seems weird, like why would
Speaker 1: everything character move to the same place and go to
Speaker 1: the same school. Yeah, I remember that we would come
Speaker 1: up with different theories about what would happen to us
Speaker 1: because if we went to different cities, they wouldn't probably
Speaker 1: cover all of us. So I'm okay, we still have
Speaker 1: a check for a notice season. Um um six Phobic asked,
Speaker 1: is it true that the writers would add storylines about
Speaker 1: you I r L to annoy y'all. They definitely wrote
Speaker 1: to some truth, right. They definitely saw relationships forming, they
Speaker 1: saw friendships forming, they saw certain things happened, situations happened
Speaker 1: that they wrote to, which we'll get to in the
Speaker 1: podcast soon. Um. Yeah, And and I think after they
Speaker 1: start to get to know you well enough, it just
Speaker 1: kind of like it inspires them and it fits into
Speaker 1: like the way that we were kind of moving in
Speaker 1: this show. So yes, they did right to truth, but
Speaker 1: not all of them and not to definitely not all
Speaker 1: of it. Well, like, for an example, I used to
Speaker 1: because I was in musical theater, I would have crushes
Speaker 1: on a lot of gay men O Cay some point,
Speaker 1: So I, Um, they liked that story. I love that story,
Speaker 1: and so they wrote in that Tina fell in love
Speaker 1: with Blaine, and um, I know that whole story has
Speaker 1: a lot of controversy around it, in the vapor rape
Speaker 1: and the whole thing, but um, it was kind of
Speaker 1: inspired by me. And so that's like an example of
Speaker 1: minus the vapo. Yeah, I didn't do that. There are
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about that storyline, by the way. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we can talk about that. Um, there's there there also
Speaker 1: as an umbrella thing. There were so many questions about
Speaker 1: everyone hooking up, people hooking up with each other, people
Speaker 1: hooking up on st offset, people hooking up with people
Speaker 1: who were on the crew and cast. It was wild.
Speaker 1: Um the question, Yeah, there were, because there's no point
Speaker 1: in this singling out one question because there were so
Speaker 1: many questions about this. But yeah, we were. And there
Speaker 1: I saw one asking if there was like jealousy if
Speaker 1: people hooked up. We were young. Just think of like
Speaker 1: your college years. You know, there was drama, no jealousy,
Speaker 1: There was no drama. It was just we were hanging out.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of cross section cross cross crosstamination happening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: cross found nation, cross contamination. There wasn't a lot of
Speaker 1: that happening. Um, even with the obvious hook ups and things.
Speaker 1: But um, now I wasn't. No. I mean like a
Speaker 1: little bit, but not a lot. Also not our story
Speaker 1: to tell. That's my that's my little motto. Um all right.
Speaker 1: Caitlin rathfordy X said, how did you feel about season
Speaker 1: six and did you like that? Did you feel like
Speaker 1: your characters were pushed out? Season six was Tina went
Speaker 1: down to, Well, I went down to a recur um,
Speaker 1: which is like my contract was no longer that I
Speaker 1: had to be in every episode, but I was in
Speaker 1: just a few. So Tina went to college. And at
Speaker 1: that point, Um no, I didn't feel like I was
Speaker 1: being pushed out because I had actually had a conversation
Speaker 1: with the producers and Bryan and everybody, and you know,
Speaker 1: this was like kind of a mutual thing. There were
Speaker 1: a lot of new people coming in and it was
Speaker 1: something that I wanted to do as well. It was
Speaker 1: like take a small step back, but not like leave
Speaker 1: the show. So I didn't feel like that. Um, I
Speaker 1: did feel a little removed from the show. That it
Speaker 1: was weird to hear about it from you, Um what
Speaker 1: was going on sometimes because I just wasn't there all
Speaker 1: the time. But also like yeah, I was ready. What
Speaker 1: about you, Kevin? I felt removed too. I got I
Speaker 1: wasn't a full series regular. I was like a part
Speaker 1: time regular. And even then, I think because we were
Speaker 1: so used to just being there all the time that
Speaker 1: having anything less than that felt like a disconnect. So
Speaker 1: I liked our characters ended up. I like how we
Speaker 1: ended up, you know that all that rounding out and everything,
Speaker 1: but in terms of actually like being there and filming,
Speaker 1: and it felt weird because I think once you're not
Speaker 1: there all the time. Mentally, I think I was a
Speaker 1: little removed or checked out, you know, Um, Jenna Hunting,
Speaker 1: Munty Fitness, Um. I wanted to know if that's you
Speaker 1: doing the ad libs and express yourself, Slade, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. We all did ad
Speaker 1: libs and express herself because it was a group number,
Speaker 1: like I remember hearing Naya did some, Amber did some,
Speaker 1: and Lea did some. I don't know. Thank you, I'll
Speaker 1: take the credit, but I don't know that it's mine
Speaker 1: to take. I don't honestly, I don't remember. There were
Speaker 1: a couple of times when so when we actually shot
Speaker 1: the musical numbers. Phil sound Man um he would have
Speaker 1: all of the he'd actually have like the studio file
Speaker 1: of all the tracks um that he would play when
Speaker 1: we would sing it. So when we're filming it, sometimes
Speaker 1: if you listen to the recording of it, not to
Speaker 1: bore you too much, but some of the ad libs
Speaker 1: um might be mixed low so you can't really hear them.
Speaker 1: But when we have to lip sync to it, sometimes
Speaker 1: he would need to turn those up so we could
Speaker 1: actually lip sync properly to them to hear where they go.
Speaker 1: And I always loved that because I would go through
Speaker 1: it with him and be like, hey, can you like
Speaker 1: solo out some of these things just for me, like,
Speaker 1: you know, off stage, just because sometimes we couldn't tell.
Speaker 1: I remember one time Corey Mark and I when were
Speaker 1: doing one of the Boys mash ups, we had no
Speaker 1: idea who was seeing what because we'd switch off every
Speaker 1: other line on a few parts on out libs and
Speaker 1: at sometimes we all sort of sound similar, and we
Speaker 1: like I remember halfway through filming that even Corey wasn't
Speaker 1: doing the album, like Corey, that's you, and He's like,
Speaker 1: I thought that was you. So it happened a lot.
Speaker 1: But we don't because you go in and everybody just
Speaker 1: records a bunch and then they end up choosing what
Speaker 1: they want to use, right right. No, I was interesting.
Speaker 1: I actually didn't. I forgot about that. Um, Annie m R.
Speaker 1: Wants to know it's the best prank you've done to
Speaker 1: a cast mate. I don't. I wasn't a prank player.
Speaker 1: I was pranked UM quite a few times. And there
Speaker 1: was one where it was a group of people I
Speaker 1: believe it was Kelly and Diana and and maybe Nya
Speaker 1: and a couple of other people that were aing people
Speaker 1: like UM, pretty little liars, and you would get aid
Speaker 1: and they would have some dirty little secret on you
Speaker 1: that they would reveal and and like somehow and and
Speaker 1: then I came back to my trailer one day. And
Speaker 1: everybody knows on set that I love Sarachadrach on everything.
Speaker 1: I still do. UM. I came back to my trailer
Speaker 1: and there was an a on my vanity mirror written
Speaker 1: in Saracha with an empty stratcha bottle in front of it.
Speaker 1: And I thought that was very good. I still have
Speaker 1: I think I have a photo of it somewhere. UM.
Speaker 1: And then they left some dirty little secret about me
Speaker 1: or I don't know, something like that. But that was
Speaker 1: it was brilliant. They got all of us. That was
Speaker 1: the best print because it went on for weeks a while.
Speaker 1: We went on tour and we got these Samsung phones,
Speaker 1: remember that? And so that was the other one. Yes,
Speaker 1: And so they would stuff. We get these mysterious texts
Speaker 1: from a and it would always be in reference to
Speaker 1: like something people shouldn't know. Oh my god, do you
Speaker 1: remember how wet did it get? Oh my god? That's right.
Speaker 1: We have our contest winner, our auction winner who donated
Speaker 1: to snick Smiths and she won and to come on
Speaker 1: the podcast. And so we're gonna in the spirit of
Speaker 1: asking questions, we're gonna ask her some and I think
Speaker 1: she might have some questions for us. But let's bring
Speaker 1: in Madeleine. Hi. How are you pretty good? Are you good?

Speaker 1: From my storm in Portland State, Oregon? Oh? Nice, beautiful,
Speaker 1: Poreland is beautiful. Um. So we have some questions for you,
Speaker 1: but we wanted to see if you had any questions
Speaker 1: for us first. Yeah, Um, I like Brainstorm, got got
Speaker 1: a couple great go for it, give them to us.
Speaker 1: So one of the first questions I want to ask was, like,
Speaker 1: is there any specific storylines in Glee that really resonated
Speaker 1: with you? M hmm, that's a good one. It's a
Speaker 1: good one. Um. I think it just resonated with me
Speaker 1: for the purpose that I was glad it was being seen.
Speaker 1: And I've talked about this before, but Kurt and Bert
Speaker 1: I think was just phenomenal on so many different levels.
Speaker 1: And it was nice to be able to see a
Speaker 1: healthy Gayson and accepting father accepting Ish at first um
Speaker 1: father relationship because I think that helped, you know, transform
Speaker 1: people's views of how this can be done in a
Speaker 1: healthy and normal, productive way. That was going to be
Speaker 1: mine too. You can also say that one, well I did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's one of my favorite storylines that like I
Speaker 1: really resonated with as well. Just overall, do you have
Speaker 1: another one that would really resonated with you? Another one
Speaker 1: was probably getting accepted into college and like trying to
Speaker 1: find your career in like different places. Um, that storyline
Speaker 1: and seasons like three through five especially, it was like
Speaker 1: really hit at the right moment when I rewatched Glee
Speaker 1: at some point and I was just like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: going with this right now. Yeah, that's a very intimidating
Speaker 1: and anxiety written. I think inves just what am I doing?
Speaker 1: How much of the snow what I want to do
Speaker 1: at this age? That makes no sense? Yeah, all right?
Speaker 1: Next question nextclusion is do you have a favorite finale
Speaker 1: out of all the finales? We've talked about this on
Speaker 1: the podcast before, but um, the two thousand nine I
Speaker 1: think at one point was supposed to be the finale
Speaker 1: of the series, and there was some question of like
Speaker 1: is this going to be or is the other one
Speaker 1: going to be? What is the other one called? Um,
Speaker 1: you know, the two parter essentially, and I thought two
Speaker 1: thousand nine it was where it could have ended for me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: or was one of my favorites. I think just because
Speaker 1: it was so fun to do and we were literally
Speaker 1: just talking about this before you joined us. Was it
Speaker 1: was a season two when we were in New York
Speaker 1: filmed filming the finale in New York, and it was
Speaker 1: chaos but so much fun and it felt like a party.
Speaker 1: To sort of at the end of the season, like
Speaker 1: you did your final exams and you just had that
Speaker 1: extra week in school like that. That's what it felt like,
Speaker 1: and it felt soft get the film somewhere else and
Speaker 1: glamorous New York. So that was probably my favorite, the
Speaker 1: craziest experience in New York every And there was one
Speaker 1: day that Kevin and I. I just remember this, Kevin
Speaker 1: and I we showed up to work in the morning
Speaker 1: and we had the same outfit on. Remember that we
Speaker 1: were both in New York. We were like we were
Speaker 1: at the same outfit today. We didn't call each other
Speaker 1: much time together. Yeah, clearly. Another question I know in
Speaker 1: the previous podcast is talked about working with Paris and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I was wondering if you had any
Speaker 1: other favorite directors you've worked with. Well, Ryan for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like outside of Ryan and Brad
Speaker 1: and Ian like the main Holy Trinity um. Eric Stoltz
Speaker 1: was incredible to work with because he had this whole
Speaker 1: different way of working. He was open suits, you weren't allowed,
Speaker 1: you had to know your lines, you weren't to bring
Speaker 1: your sides that they would give you for the day.
Speaker 1: So he wanted you to be extra prepared, but as
Speaker 1: intimidating that should be. He was so into the characters.
Speaker 1: He loved the characters. He cared about the character storylines,
Speaker 1: what they were thinking and doing on and off screen,
Speaker 1: and being around someone like that Um who always was
Speaker 1: thinking of those things just meant a lot and he
Speaker 1: came up with so many great ideas. Eric was the best.
Speaker 1: He was just the best, and he came back for
Speaker 1: like a lot of episodes. He did like a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of episodes with us, so he was just
Speaker 1: a really familiar face to have around. UM. It can
Speaker 1: be really daunting as a TV director to come into
Speaker 1: somebody else's space and kind of be in charge because
Speaker 1: it's like our home, right, You're like coming into our
Speaker 1: house and then like taking charge of it. So there's
Speaker 1: like a very um there was a very respectful way
Speaker 1: that Eric came in, but also like still took charge
Speaker 1: of everything we need to get done, and you know,
Speaker 1: really actually like directing and leading versus kind of the
Speaker 1: laugh thereof with some directors, Um, not a lot, but
Speaker 1: sometimes it'd be directors that kind of like let everybody
Speaker 1: else take the lead, and that makes for a really
Speaker 1: messy time behind the scenes. I think I remember we
Speaker 1: started like we kept asking Ryan to bring Eric back more?
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? And he was so he was like,
Speaker 1: you guys have never asked this before, Like yeah, but
Speaker 1: we love him, Like why do you love him so much?
Speaker 1: Like you need to come be hang out with us.
Speaker 1: You can see the magic. He also made it on time.
Speaker 1: He always made his days, which was really important because
Speaker 1: some directors could come in and not realize like how
Speaker 1: much there was to do, and you know, was just
Speaker 1: like a way over limit. Yeah, and then Eric would
Speaker 1: be like you're like, what seven o'clock and I can
Speaker 1: go home? Yea, yeah, Okay, we have some questions for
Speaker 1: you before you go? So what is your favorite Glee song?
Speaker 1: No pressure? My favorite Glee song is actually, um, I
Speaker 1: believe in a thing called love. Uh wow, I don't
Speaker 1: think I've ever heard that one. I love that. That's great.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like earlier was like I like a good
Speaker 1: rock sone and that it's just a good yeah, great song. Um.
Speaker 1: What is one of your favorite group numbers? M like
Speaker 1: full Group or like trouble Tones, whatever you want. Trouble
Speaker 1: Tones absolutely counts. They win. Um. One of my favorites
Speaker 1: is the adule mashup mm hm m hm. I'm like
Speaker 1: know what it's called, but that one's likes it and
Speaker 1: something like that one was one of my favorites. Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: that is an excellent that also, I think just gets
Speaker 1: better with time, doesn't it. That one is just up there. Um.
Speaker 1: Do you have a dream storyline that you wish could
Speaker 1: have happened between some of the characters or the song
Speaker 1: we wanted us to do. Honestly, I really would have
Speaker 1: loved to see more Tina and Artie and all of it,
Speaker 1: not sucking up at all. I would have loved to
Speaker 1: like dig more into your guys storylines. Yeah, thank you
Speaker 1: for saying that. I definitely as we got like into
Speaker 1: the later seasons, I got to I felt like I
Speaker 1: got to do more, which was really nice. Um, even
