Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast. Welcome to you too, and that.
Speaker 1: Wow. Sorry, wow, Kevin, I'm sorry. Welcome to and that's
Speaker 1: why you're in this podcast. This is a Q and
Speaker 1: A and I'm feeling feisty. You really are. I was
Speaker 1: not expecting you to come out like that.
Speaker 2: I knew you were distracted ordering your goopes.
Speaker 1: I was going, okay.
Speaker 2: Jenna, is this is so irrelevant? But Jenna wakes up
Speaker 2: and thinks about what her three meals are going to be. Yes,
Speaker 2: here's the thing. I know what my breakfast always is.
Speaker 2: And then it's like, do I want to go healthy?
Speaker 2: Do I want to go savory?
Speaker 1: What is I day?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Do I have time? Do I not have time? But yes,
Speaker 1: I'm always thinking about what I'm eating, and I'm always
Speaker 1: thinking about it while I am ingesting food from the meal.
Speaker 2: What's coming next? Yeah, definitely. I always admired that about
Speaker 2: you because I can't do it until I'm hungry, and
Speaker 2: by that point it's too late. You know.
Speaker 1: That's why I like I like to plan a head
Speaker 1: so that I can try to do the healthy choice,
Speaker 1: or like the good choice, because then if not I
Speaker 1: just I derail, I do rail yes exactly.
Speaker 2: This is why men are stupid.
Speaker 1: Stuff stop no, but truly, like David will eat things
Speaker 1: and I'm like, have you eaten today? Like what are
Speaker 1: you eating? He doesn't eat things leftover his job. He
Speaker 1: just eats them cold like you'd never seen him use
Speaker 1: the microwave for like leftovers. He just eats the things
Speaker 1: and I'm like, are you all right? Are you okay?
Speaker 2: My question always for men like are you okay?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Sir? All right, Kevin? We are in
Speaker 1: the new era of our podcast. It's very exciting. We've
Speaker 1: been having a really good time. The response has been amazing.
Speaker 1: We hope you guys are enjoying it. And we just
Speaker 1: wanted to answer some questions get back online with you
Speaker 1: since we know you have a lot of questions and
Speaker 1: as you should, and we'll just want to talk about
Speaker 1: what's coming. So let's do it, okay. What was the
Speaker 1: inspiration for this new era?
Speaker 2: We had talked about with the iHeart team and Jenna
Speaker 2: and I had talked about with each other about what
Speaker 2: we wanted to do, and there are many different versions
Speaker 2: of what we could do and do. We still talk
Speaker 2: you know, just do Glee centric things. But Jenna and
Speaker 2: I have grown up watching musicals, TV, film, stage, whatever
Speaker 2: it is. Glee is a musical, and so it's still
Speaker 2: in the same vein, and it's just like we're passionate
Speaker 2: about it. We like to watch these things and discuss
Speaker 2: these things, and so it felt like a very natural
Speaker 2: fit for us to continue with the musical aspect of
Speaker 2: what we've already been doing.
Speaker 1: Well said, somebody wants to know, will you be doing
Speaker 1: live recordings like Hamilton or Frozen on Broadway, like the
Speaker 1: recorded page productions.
Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing is off limits.
Speaker 1: No, That's what I'm saying, Like, let's do it all.
Speaker 2: The whole world has opened up to us.
Speaker 1: So exciting. What are you guys excited about reviewing?
Speaker 2: Well, perfect segue. Personally, I'm excited to watch some of
Speaker 2: these recorded stage musicals because I haven't seen a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited.
Speaker 2: I'm really excited for the things I have not seen. Okay,
Speaker 2: starting off like doing a lot of the doing things
Speaker 2: I've seen, which is so really fun, but.
Speaker 1: Like diving to the ones we haven't seen off Tho, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm also excited to do like the ones we have
Speaker 1: seen that like take us really far back that we're
Speaker 1: like uber excited to do, like Nooozy's Chicago Mulan Rouge,
Speaker 1: like the ones that came out while we were like
Speaker 1: like just pre Glee era or in the Glee era
Speaker 1: that are like so, I don't know, burn into our
Speaker 1: existence and Newsy's raised me.
Speaker 2: So absolutely, you know, are you planning to do an
Speaker 2: episode on K Pop Demon Hunters? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of have to. Have you watched
Speaker 1: the most popular movie on Netflix of all time? No,
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it yet.
Speaker 2: I haven't watched it either.
Speaker 1: I'm going to though, wait, wait till we do it. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: let's do it.
Speaker 2: Let's wait.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, oh maybe we should do that one next. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we should definitely do it soon. Who can we expect
Speaker 1: to be a guest on the podcast? I mean everybody?
Speaker 1: So this also is somebody who was asking, are we
Speaker 1: still going to have Glee people on the podcast or
Speaker 1: also Glee fans? Yes to all of these things. We're
Speaker 1: definitely gonna have Glee fans on. I want to stay
Speaker 1: connected with you guys, Amplify are Glee fans of course,
Speaker 1: and then also like amazing guests that either are friends
Speaker 1: of ours, or we've crosspaths, or people we've never met
Speaker 1: before that have something to do with the movie or
Speaker 1: the episode of the musical. Multiple guests that have something
Speaker 1: to do with these movies and musicals, Like I feel
Speaker 1: like nothing's off limits, and to just talk to everybody
Speaker 1: about these musicals, and then we also want to get
Speaker 1: suggestions from our guests about who what they're what they
Speaker 1: musical movies they loved or musical episodes that they loved
Speaker 1: or that we need to watch.
Speaker 2: How are you handling musical TV shows? Are you just
Speaker 2: watching the pilot? Yes, we are unless we feel so inclined,
Speaker 2: you know, to keep going. But we have a lot
Speaker 2: of things to watch, so as of now, just the pilots.
Speaker 2: Who do you think has seen more movie musicals?
Speaker 1: Jenna? Jenna? Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't you think?
Speaker 1: Ken? No, I feel like we've probably seen the same
Speaker 1: amount of current stuff. It's just going backwards, like maybe
Speaker 1: we both kind of missed a little bit of those
Speaker 1: earlier days of musicals, so I have to do Yeah,
Speaker 1: I totally missed a lot of those growing up, Like
Speaker 1: I didn't watch a ton of movies at home growing up,
Speaker 1: Like aside from like well, Disney movies, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll have to take a tally Kevin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what musical made you love musicals?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you know really from my memory going
Speaker 1: way way back, Annie.
Speaker 2: Actually, I think that's also my answer. I was gonna
Speaker 2: say Phantom your favorite. I loved Phantom, but Annie was.
Speaker 2: I would come down the stairs of my house singing
Speaker 2: tomorrow that gay little kid.
Speaker 1: Wow, Kevin. Also, maybe maybe was my song Oh Love
Speaker 1: a be a good belting number. Oh my god, it
Speaker 1: was Annie. It was absolutely Annie. You're right, Yesndles, will
Speaker 1: the found on TikTok segments still be about Glee, irrelevant
Speaker 1: to the show.
Speaker 2: You watch Glee, but other stuff if it happens, So
Speaker 2: start sending us things for some of the musicals that
Speaker 2: we might watch. M oh Jenna, talk about your time

Speaker 1: I have Okay, great Kevin, y'all better cover Wicked movie

Speaker 2: You know it? Come on, you thought we could start
Speaker 2: this at this year, at this time of year and
Speaker 2: not do both Wicked movies. Don't worry. We're already trying
Speaker 2: to work on getting to a screening. I don't know
Speaker 2: what's going to happen. But last time I accidentally went
Speaker 2: to two screenings. Well, you know what, you can't see
Speaker 2: it too many times, Like when you plan for it,
Speaker 2: it doesn't happen, but when you don't plan for it,
Speaker 2: So we need to like casually plan for it.
Speaker 1: Can you please confirm you will talk about Rent, both
Speaker 1: the Broadway show and the movie. You certainly will absolutely.
Speaker 1: Rent really changed me. It really was the musical. There
Speaker 1: were multiple musicals that I was like kind of obsessed
Speaker 1: with in my time, like you know, the lame Is
Speaker 1: and the Missychons, But like Rent and Wicked were really
Speaker 1: it for me, and Rent in particular had that following,
Speaker 1: that deep, deep following. They called them the Redheads, and
Speaker 1: my dad at one point had to beg me to
Speaker 1: stop listening to the disc too. Oh, you've got to
Speaker 1: listen to something else, Jenna, please.
Speaker 2: Oh damn. But I mean it was like that for
Speaker 2: a lot of people. Castina had never been like that.
Speaker 1: So cool. Yeah, it's like it's kind of like Spring
Speaker 1: Awakening esque, right, that young audience different, Like the music
Speaker 1: was like could live on its own, like it just
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's so many people that we could
Speaker 2: get on from there too. Tracy Anthony rapp Adina, Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, how are you feeling about the new era?
Speaker 2: So far? Great? Really really enjoying.
Speaker 1: It, loving it.
Speaker 2: It's been so much fun. We've gotten a lot of
Speaker 2: great guests lined up for the things we're watching. We've
Speaker 2: had a lot of great conversations, and it's nice to
Speaker 2: not talk about us.
Speaker 1: This is a good one. Are you going to focus
Speaker 1: more on main stream musicals or some off Broadway staff? Now? Listen.
Speaker 1: There is an off Farbi musical that Kevin and I
Speaker 1: discussed when we were talking about this new era of
Speaker 1: the podcast that I saw in my high school years
Speaker 1: called Tic Tick Boom, and we will absolutely be Tic
Speaker 1: tick Boom. It's truly one of my favorite uh stage
Speaker 1: to screen adaptations.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Can't wait like we are, like that have
Speaker 2: been known that I've never seen the stage production. I've
Speaker 2: only seen Linn Manwell's movie, and.
Speaker 1: Stage brush is very bare, very like black Bockxy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then they did it again recently off Broadway with
Speaker 1: like George Salazar and Lillie Cooper and all these wonderful
Speaker 1: people that I got to George salazar voice unreal. If
Speaker 1: you listen to his Michael in the Bathroom from bymore Chill, No,
Speaker 1: I've listened to that, probably as much as listened to
Speaker 1: Love You, I'm and Rent, and it's so good. Michael
Speaker 1: in the Bathroom probably got bymore Chill to move from
Speaker 1: two rivers in New Jersey to a Broadway venue. His voice,
Speaker 1: those fans are, we're so stupid. Yeah, Okay, well we're
Speaker 1: going to do it all.
