Speaker 2: amount of people that have shown up and shown out

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: Finally, it's a long Finally, it's been a season and

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 2: a half. It took us eighteen years to get here.

31

Speaker 3: Eighty four years.

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: The other thing is too, is like in between seasons,

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: we all come back and we look a little different.

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: Everybody has a lot of hair, like this is the

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: same school year.

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: Right, everybody looks different. They've made jokes too about how

37
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: long this year?

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: Ian has the recaps in the beginning.

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: This recap was also funny. I can't remember what it

40
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: was that made me gig, but it was really funny.

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: Good story, Jenna, Yeah, you're welcome everybody.

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: So this episode, I finished this episode and obviously was

43
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: not emotionally well, and then I was like, well, what's

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: next episode? Watched it not emotionally well, and I was like, well,

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: what's after that? And then I like skimmed it and

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: I was like no, because there's two episodes with everybody

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: back like one hundred. It's sort of like a part

48
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: one and part two.

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: Right, one hundred and a new direction.

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: Yes, right, and I think when and we mentioned this before,

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: but the way that we get into talking about Finn

52
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: over these next few episodes, it's a lot. It's a lot,

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: but also feels better and like comparatively to like what

54
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: the quarterback did. It feels like a nice way. Every

55
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: character is getting to have their moment. And this episode

56
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: where you get into it, yeah, and Carol are around

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: through it. Yeah, and you finally see you know what

58
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: we were saying before, where like we were just sort

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: of like ignoring it. Yeah, like Katie and Gaga, we're

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: doing all these we're doing blurred lines, We're doing crazy things.

61
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: To me. It also not to get too cerebral about it,

62
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: but it also is a bit like how grief actually

63
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: works for some people. Yes, where you push it down and.

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: It comes back at the weirdest time and then.

65
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: It comes back and like, now that's all we're going

66
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: to talk about, right because we have to. And that's

67
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: like these next series of episodes I think feel very

68
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: like healing in a way for the characters, and we're

69
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: finally getting to see them what it's like to live

70
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: with the absence of Finn.

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I think that that's the truth. Like

72
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: we're watching the process of grief happening on these people,

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: and the impact that Finn had versus the quarterback, which

74
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: felt like you're literally like stepping into a funeral. Very

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: it's very different than being able to reflect on all

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: of that. You're like, oh, right, that's nice. It's actually

77
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: really nice the impact where you had, the impact Finn had. Yeah,

78
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 3: and like, like you said, the process and the healing

79
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: of it all, not the actual grief.

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: And I think it's also because like the writers also

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: had to figure out yeah, of course what they were doing,

82
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: and also the grief of that as well. So it's

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: sort of like this weird real time.

84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a nice way to honor him. There

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 3: was like a lot of honoring him in these and

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: it was like, yeah, oh that feels good. We're like

87
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: looking back on him smiling and like, you know, walking

88
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 3: down the hallway and all these good memories. Yeah, okay,

89
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: well we'll get into this whole episode, Kevin. But what

90
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 3: was going on in the news.

91
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: So this episode originally aired March eleven, twenty fourteen. The

96
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,159

97
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe the movie is it is that there?

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I haven't seen either of them. Okay,

99
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: But more importantly, I'll never forget that when three hundred

100

Speaker 3: came out, they were like all the extras were like

101

102
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,640

144
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,240

145
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: I know this now. You think it's like sounds like

146
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 3: an original song.

147
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: Why, Jennet, why does it sound like an original song?

148

Speaker 3: It's not. It wasn't in the top forty okay, which

149

Speaker 3: I also like, I like that it wasn't talked about

190
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: all that. We just had like actually like dancers in

191
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: New Directions that we didn't know at all.

192
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's like when we it's not the first time

193
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: the directions have done that.

194
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: No, I know, but we just like didn't speak of it.

195
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh, like on the bus, yeah,

196
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: you're like high friends, like hi people not going to

Speaker 3: acknowledge the Yeah.

198
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: They were supposed to be an original song in this episode.

199
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: It is unknown if it was ever filmed or recorded.

200
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: Do you know if that's true.

201
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: I don't think it was recorded. I don't think so either,

202
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 3: and maybe that I feel like that would have been online.

203
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: Something that makes sense about like the Marley storyline right

204
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: right right right.

205
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 2: We didn't need it.

206
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: We didn't New Directions performed Finn's favorite songs, and these

207
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: were allegedly all of Cory's favorite songs in real life.

208
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: I actually don't know if this is true or not,

209
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 3: but I could see definitely see you two being some

210
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: of Corey's favorite songs in real life or ones that

211
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: he is mentioned in interviews for the show you know

212
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: what I mean, or like things he would want to do.

213
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: Brad Foulchow is a huge Springsteen fan, so that didn't

214
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: surprise me.

215
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: We did do Springsteen. Oh oh, dear.

216
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: My fans. Is Neil Diamond America's Neil Diamond? What is

217
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: wrong with me? What song am I thinking of? Born

218
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: in the Usa? Which is about America? Actually?

219
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 2: So uh.

220
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 3: Neil Diamond? Okay? But I would imagine that these are

221
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: songs that Corey has talked about in public.

222
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: You must have Yeah. As of this episode, Mercedes is

223
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: the only New Directions alumni who has been to all

224
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: New Directions competition performances.

225
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 3: She's like great. This episode features the first and only

226
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: competition of the fifth season. Took long Enough to give You?

227
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: And this is the first episode of season five in

228
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: which Rachel doesn't sing wow.

229
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: And this is the last episode of the season in

230
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: which you meet Kitty and Jake saying, oh, we're getting there.

231
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: I don't like it.

232
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: I know.

233
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: That's what I keep thinking all these episodes, like is

234
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: this it? Is this the one? This is also the

235
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: last time Jake sings in the series.

236
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 3: And this is the first and only Nationals episode that

237
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: Jesse Saint James doesn't appearance.

238
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: Wow. So this episode, the members of New Directions travel

239
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: to sunny Los Angeles to compete in Nationals and bring

240
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: with them to very special guests.

241
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: Well, the whole thing is Nationals, So it's Nationals. It's

242
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: Nationals people. We're going to LA and we're bringing Bert

243
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: and Carol with us.

244
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: Which is a nice surprise and also just a gut

245
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: punch in. But it happens in the very outset of

246
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: this episode. Sam gets brought in to talk to Will

247
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: about Finn was our leader. If I need to call

248
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: on you, You're the one to step up. And he's like, no,

249
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: I can't do that. He's like, you're my guy. We

250
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: got to do this right, and he takes it very seriously.

251
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 2: And I feel like it was very appropriate to have

252
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: that be the storyline because in real life there was

253
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: this bond between Corey and Cord.

254
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: Yes, and that was a special friendship.

255
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it felt as their friend Yes. Watching Sam's

256
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: whole storyline this episode was very deeply moving but also

257
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: like deeply satisfying because I feel like I don't know

258
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: if people know that I've how close they were.

259
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: I think I've just assumed like I forget that, like

260
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: we know that. So that's a good point.

261
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: And it was. It's just a really beautiful storyline strung

262
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: throughout the entire episode of him stepping up and taking

263
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: ownership of the glee club, especially when Burt and Carroll

264
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: come in and say, oh god, it was I forgot

265
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 2: they come in there, and there's a lot of it

266
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: if you can, if you watched the quarterback and when

267
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: we talked about it, you see us crying and like

268
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: how real that is, but like we were not happy

269
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: to be there. Right, every time Michaelmalley and Romy speak,

270
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: we are all in tears, but we're like smiling because

271
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: it's the way they fill up a room with Like

272
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: they both are so warm. Yes, And what you feel

273
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: from those characters is how do they feel as real

274
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: people as well in real life? And so it was

275
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: really our first time being able to be around them

276
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: in this way where a lot of it mimicked life.

277
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: Right. They're so thoughtful and always having me those two

278
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: adults around there, always like very sound in their advice

279
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,479
Speaker 3: and how they like led us as a company sometimes

280
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: and gave us like advice as veterans who had worked

281
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: before on big shows and such, and seeing us at

282
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: such a young age hit it so big. From the beginning,

283
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: They've always been like parental figures to us, so like

284
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: to have them and also have them connected to Finn

285
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: as deeply as they were both on screen and off,

286
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: it was like very satisfying as well, like they picked

287
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: all the right people for this episode to honor Finn

288
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: or you know, go through that journey to start this

289
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: like whole journey that you talked about before, and it's

290
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: really I also really liked how like honest it was

291
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: with Carol like not being able to be there.

292
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know we before we started recording. You're

293
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: like Tina said this stupid thing when they get to

294
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: la and there in the hotel room. Yeah, but I

295
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: don't think it was stupid. I think it was really

296
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: necessary in the episode because it also is that what

297
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: you're referring to by.

298
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, or one of the other stupid things.

299
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: It reminds you that like they are kids, yeah, their kids,

300
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: and like it's so easy to get caught up.

301
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: Well, they just have the perspective as adults, like of

302
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: being parents and you know, being wiser and having seen

303
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: things and like lived experience. And then there we are

304
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: thinking we know everything and saying all these things of

305
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,239
Speaker 3: like not knowing how to quite appreciate from their perspective.

306
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: Yet we never get like the outside view because Schuster

307
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: and Sue fully participate in high school antics. Yeah, every

308
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: single episode. Yes, I think having Burton Carroll there gives

309
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: you this like outside look, this like reality check, and

310
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, right, what were you think is a

311
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: big deal? Every single day in high school, even with

312
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: some of the adults is not right. And but the

313
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: flip side of that is and I think what I

314
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: think how Romy delivered this just was phenomenal and moving

315
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: because it was like, well, no, you should be allowed

316
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: to voice those opinions. You didn't do anything wrong, because

317
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: is what would she give to have Finn be there,

318
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: to be able to voice what seemingly stupid, irrational, emotional

319
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 2: young opinions or thoughts and feelings, right, Like it's a

320
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: privilege to be that young and to like make stupid.

321
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: Comments, right, and then also like just row me as

322
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 3: a mother of a grieving mother, Oh God, saying things

323
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: like that, that's grief coming out, you know what I mean,

324
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: and lashing out in ways that you wouldn't normally standing

325
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: very logical and sound in their thoughts and anyway, hands

326
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 3: out to Roam in this episode because every time she

327
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: speaks everything she does, you're like, God, she's so good.

328
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: Burne Carroll just continue to be like models of stellar parenting.

329
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 2: Like they just say all the right things and it

330
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: doesn't ever feel corny, right, It's like we're hitting you

331
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: over the head with a lesson. Never, it never feels like.

332
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: That even when it's written like that sometimes because it

333
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: can be they flip it on its head.

334
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: And I don't know if I feel like I don't

335
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: know what the dynamic is of like who's writing those things.

336
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: But Brad Foulchuk was always writing I think a lot

337
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: of the Michael Maley or Shuster things, and Ryan was

338
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: coming up with a lot of that as well. Yeah,

339
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: But the way they've given voice to Bert and Carroll

340
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: to be those like anchors on the show, it's always

341
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: worked perfectly. It has never there was one episode or

342
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: where Bert comes in like what is happening? I forgot

343
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: what it was.

344
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: It was the one where he came back and they

345
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: did single Ladies.

346
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like that one episode the only time

347
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: it's ever faltered for me. But besides that has been

348
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 2: like one of the most consistent things through this series.

349
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: For sure. Carol and Burt are going to come on

350
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: the as chaperones, and then romy Carrol is going to

351
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 3: realize that maybe this is all too much for her,

352
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: So they're going to actually leave and they pack up

353
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: and they go and they drive home well seemingly before

354
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 3: our Nationals performance, and then they're going to turn around

355
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: and they're going to come back and they're going to

356
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 3: see this this wonderful performance, which I'm glad they did

357
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: because watching them in the audience. Also, I'm already very

358
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: fragile from watching this Nationals like really broke me.

359
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: You can't cutch A. Burt and Carol no, like always

360
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: will break my heart. So we got to go to

361
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: La on the show.

362
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: Our heres just got to go to this.

363
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: We got to come home, which means we all we

364
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: did was film out in our neighborhood.

365
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. I was like, my house is like right there.

366
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we passed all of our sites.

367
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: We got to go on a double decker bus, and

368
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: I have to say that was a ridiculous day. It

369
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: was a really long day on the bus. It was

370
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: like a whole day on the bus.

371
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: I did not enjoy it. I don't know why.

372
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: Here's what I think my memory is, like we did

373
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: enjoy it, but my body didn't while we were actually

374
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: there because it was a really long day and I

375
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: remember having to actually like we got on the bus

376
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 3: and then we stopped at Pinks and like got off

377
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: the double decks. I liked that we didn't get like

378
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 3: transpoted there or like stop the trailer. We were just

379
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: like on the go. And maybe that's why we didn't

380
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 3: like it so much, because like we didn't have like

381
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 3: our trailers to go back to our like breaks. We

382
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 3: were just on so being on the bus though, I

383
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: have a video of it, and I don't remember if

384
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: you remember this cameradar. We were like it was like north.

385
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: We were in Hollywood and we were going up towards

386
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: like Griffith Park, which is you know, towards the observatory

387
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: for people who don't know La all that well. And

388
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 3: there's basically it was to get us seeing the Hollywood

389
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 3: sign right, you can see it like straight up beach

390
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: Wood and We're going up the bus and there's cameras

391
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: on the top, there's the crew on the top, and

392
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 3: then all of us are sitting on the top and

393
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: I remember them saying like, okay, now everybody duck, and yes,

394
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 3: there's a tree that is so low that it actually

395
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 3: hits the bus. And you hear like yes, and everybody

396
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 3: is screaming like bloody murder. Alex is screaming, I forgot

397
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 3: about that, and I'm like, what is going on? And

398
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: I think that's that was the start of it. We

399
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: were like and then we're turning around and going back

400
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: that road.

401
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: Yes, it's all coming back to me.

402
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: Celine Dion, Yes, and and I remember being like, wow, okay,

403
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: here we are.

404
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 2: The other thing is when you see these double decker buses,

405
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: they're like these bright, shiny red buses. That's not what

406
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: we were on. We were on some old one from

407
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: like the seventies. It literally had like wooden paneling on

408
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: the side of it. It was not painted red. It

409
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: was very very strange. It was very old. It's like, what,

410
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: surely we have budget and you had.

411
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 3: To like stand they had to like stand it and

412
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 3: doing choreography on the top of the.

413
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: Boss sunburn was getting burned.

414
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: We were all wearing like hats and sunglasses like LA

415
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 3: tourists gear that they had had for props that we

416
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: had to put on because we were like dying in

417
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: the heat and we had Then they were like okay,

418
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: replay and like the buses moving and we're like shaking,

419
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: and I just remember being like, what a nightmare.

420
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: It's also so funny of how if you if you

421
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: go online and see reactions to certain like tours that

422
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: come through LA and people complaining about the Los Angeles audience. Yeah,

423
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: LA like historically has like the worst audiences because everyone

424
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: like works in entertainment and everyone is jaded and unimpressed.

425
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: And when we would film in New York, when you

426
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: watch those episodes, you see hundreds of people watching us film.

427
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: We were we were all around Hollywood. Nobody gave us ship,

428
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: we were blocking traffic, people were angry, they were honking.

429
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: Nobody cared even.

430
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: At Pinks, Like we were in the line at Pinks

431
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: and like nobody can.

432
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: They set up this full thing at.

433
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 3: Peaks for us. Yes, they had like a hot dog

434
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 3: like with written on it like yes and like it's

435
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 3: and then but I remember being like we have to

436
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: eat these things.

437
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I was very excited. I tried the tricky dogs

438
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: really good, incredible.

439
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: I like a hot dog.

440
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.

441
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 3: I like a hot dog. But I think being on

442
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 3: that moving bus host day and then having like a

443
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 3: chili dog was like not my vibe.

444
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, Oh God, did you have a chili dog?

445
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 3: That's what is famous work. Yes, chili dog, Yeah, chili

446
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: other dogs.

447
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 2: You know. I don't like a messy food.

448
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jammy, Yeah, I didn't know.

449
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 2: I don't. He's like getting Jammy and then having to

450
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: do like makeup touch ups. Yeah, and then I eat

451
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 2: it on camera and then you're like through the wind

452
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: in the hot suns. That's that's not what.

453
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: I was happy to get off that bus though for

454
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: a little bit, and that pinks for a second. But

455
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: that was a weird day.

456
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: It was so weird. It was really it should have

457
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: been fun. I don't know why. I remember getting on

458
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 2: the bus on the backlock.

459
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then just like leaving, yeah, and we had

460
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: to stop and we stopped in front of the Capitol

461
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: Capital Records Building. I remember that, yeah, And I remember

462
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: having to get off for some reason, and I can't

463
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 3: remember why Maybe they had us like shooting getting on

464
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: and off the bus or something, but I was so annoyed.

465
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: I was so annoyed at.

466
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: That point, Becka and I did sneak beers on. Yeah.

467
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: Well, and then Broken had to come on and like

468
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 3: yell at us from the back of the bus and

469
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 3: hide while we were shooting. You remember that.

470
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I started hiding myself.

471
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: Right, You guys also had in the back, and I

472
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 3: was like, where is everybody?

473
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why. Why would the vibe so

474
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: bad that day, even when.

475
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: You're you're not in your home and like everything's a

476
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: little uncomfortable and you know, your people and then makeup

477
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 3: would have to stop and come on the bus and

478
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 3: we'd have to wait, and then they went to all

479
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: the back. They had to be on the bus too.

480
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they'd have to like stop to get off

481
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: the comp out. Yeah, it was too much.

482
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: So we go to La and Sam, which we talked

483
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: about who is you know, Will is looking to to

484
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: like kind of step up and be the leader. Sam

485
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 3: actually takes the fin black with us too, La. Yes,

486
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 3: and that's we get to the hotel and I'll never

487
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: forget shooting at this hotel where Will is having a

488
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: problem because to Sylvester called and said that he can't

489
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 3: have a bunch of children.

490
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: And we shot it so funny, and the Paramount theater

491
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: lobby didn't.

492
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: Yes, that was the lobby, and they dressed it as

493
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: a hotel lobby. And we had so many marks for

494
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 3: so many characters. I took a picture of it and

495
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 3: I have it. We'll post it. But you know, you

496
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: have your marks, and like usually there's like, you know,

497
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 3: two characters in the front of the choir room and

498
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: they have we each have our own designated color and

499
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: then like if you move, they do another one and

500
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: they put it down. But everybody moved, and everybody had lines.

501
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 3: So they were like one hundred different things, and I'm like,

502
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 3: how many different tape colors do you have? And our

503
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: wonderful grips and camera camera assistants had to like put

504
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: down these marks for us, and they used to have

505
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: to have some characters had two colors to distinguish because

506
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: there were not enough colors on the wheel.

507
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: Once Throat Explosion showed up, it was getting oh.

508
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: My god, well and then Skyler shows up, so the

509
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 3: head of Throat Explosion shows up.

510
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: How was it. Having Skyler is.

511
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 3: So much fun by the way, he's so good at this.

512
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: He's just Skyler reminds me of he's like Spring Awakening

513
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: Darren Chris.

514
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

515
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: Remind me of each other in a way, like they

516
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: both have so much energy. They're both like so positive. Yes,

517
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: and I mean like this is all yeah, good good,

518
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: Like Skyler can sing his face off.

519
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: It's actually ridiculous. His voice is actually ridicuous.

520
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: Why is between like Bohemian Rhapsody and then this performance

521
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 2: like John and Scyler's voices are so high.

522
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 3: And like butter Like what the hell? I know?

523
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: But it was so nice to have Skyler there because obviously,

524
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 2: like all of your Spring Awakening folk had been friends

525
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: with them for years.

526
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: Come on in hang out with us. Yeah, Skyler was

527
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 3: so much fun to have, like Phoebe and like John

528
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: of course, and you know, he was there for a

529
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: national so we got like we got to work with

530
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: him a little bit, hanging out with him, and he

531
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 3: just fits right into the vibe and the tone of

532
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: the show as well, Like with this ridiculous vocal adrenaline

533
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: like character, who's going to be like so crazy.

534
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: He's very much the brand, like he went on to

535
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: do another musical TV show like exact, so like it

536
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 2: very much.

537
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: It's all fits. Yeah, he's so they steal the plaque.

538
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: They do, they spot the plaque because the new directions

539
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 2: have this like really nice on the empty stage of Nationals.

540
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 3: The night before, Sam wants to like get everybody together

541
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 3: to like gather.

542
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they don't know we none of us know

543
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: why we're there. And Sam has this like really moving

544
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: tribute to finn and has the plaque there before it's

545
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: interrupted by Skyler's antics.

546
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: Who has a late rehearsal plan also right.

547
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: It gives us three minutes and sees the plaque but

548
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 2: comes to the defense of you know, of us being there.

549
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: And I also thought it was interesting if like, look,

550
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: we all know you guys are that show choir m h.

551
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: And it's like the first time there's a reference to

552
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: us like as a show choir outside of ourselves and

553
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: especially in that context. Yeah yeah, yeah, And it was

554
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: nice to like sort of like paint that world a bit.

555
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: Of us having a reputation as well having.

556
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 2: A reputation also, like when you do lose somebody and

557
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: you are that person in the friend group, right right,

558
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: people don't know how to deal with you or they

559
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: give you. So it also like yeah, this backhanded way

560
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: of saying like, okay, well we're reigning champs, right, so

561
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: we deserve to be here, right, But also like, well,

562
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: you're that show choir, so everyone's just like letting you

563
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: slide because technically you shouldn't even be.

564
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: Here, right, right, right, right, but we.

565
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: Feel everyone feels bad for you. It's weird to like

566
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: hear the new directions referenced in a way outside because

567
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: that never happens on the show.

568
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: You're right, you're right. It's always us referencing others, schools

569
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: and reputations.

570
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: I do also like like Darren and Skyler have that

571
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: moment earlier in the hotel lobby about the show Clair blogs.

572
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: I just it was I thought that was really sweet

573
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: because I, like I said before last episode, I like

574
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: when the blame character nerds us a bit.

575
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: Yes. Also, Skyler, he's not like like this in person.

576
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: He's actually quite calm and like, you know, even keeled

577
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: and funny though, but like he's like bye, yeah, it

578
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: is like in a heightened version of himself, which I loved.

579
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: I remember rehearsing that scene. I don't know why, the

580
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: nighttime one in the hotel lobby one because Skyler came

581
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: in just like guns, I know who this guy is.

582
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: This is what we're doing.

583
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: Also that uh, that scene where Mercedes comes in with

584
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 3: the the fuaua. Oh, and she brought her mirror ball

585
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 3: that day. We were talking about this earlier because she did.

586
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: She did actually Amber Riley just one dancing with the stars,

587
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: which is like knowing her is no surprise to us,

588
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: but we're, you know, very happy for him. We're like,

589
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 3: you best bring that mirror ball when you come back.

590
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: And she walked in with that thing and to the

591
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 3: lobby of that fake hotel and carried that around and

592
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: people were like holding it and taking pictures with it.

593
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: I'll never forget it.

594
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: Well, bookmark that because there's a reference to it in

595
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: the next episode, right, And it's very very funny.

596
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: Man, She's won that, I'm asking right now.

597
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. And an Olivier, yeah that too, just that one.

598
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: Whatever she deserves, seeing her as like a famous person

599
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: on the show in her wardroom with all these people.

600
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: Drinking, like, yeah, I'll find I'll write some songs for

601
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: some people I have.

602
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: I want to bring up a note going forward. A

603
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: slight complaint I have with the show. The wardrobe for

604
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: Mercedes and Unique is very strong.

605
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: If you ask Alex, it's like like Matron.

606
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: They look like they're dressing them like they're in their fifties. Yeah,

607
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: it's it's it's distracting. It is distracting, that's the thing.

608
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, you guys. It felt weird. It

609
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: was a newer wardrobe person. It was not our regular Yeah,

610
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: wardrobes a lot of people to dress. It's like, okay,

611
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: so like you you don't know how to dress, like yeah,

612
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: the black women, right, that's what it feels like.

613
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on.

614
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: Nobody else is like this, come on right? Because I

615
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: got it. I kept watching last night because I was

616
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: like so into it. I watched this, I watched a hundred.

617
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 3: I watched one hundred. Is actually where it gets.

618
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: It's really distracting.

619
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 3: And I don't know if it was like the intention

620
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: was trying to make her look more business womanlike, and

621
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: that's why.

622
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: But she's not a business woman.

623
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: Well you know what I mean, like more professional and

624
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: in suits and things. We could have done that way better.

625
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 3: We've obviously, like suits come into their.

626
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: Own because you have Rachel who's about to be like famous,

627
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: and then you have Mercedes is about to be famous. Right,

628
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: we can do both. We can do both, We can

629
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: do we should do both. And like one is getting

630
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: like the glamour treatment and one is looking like grandma.

631
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, let's just notate it because it's coming.

632
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna get look out for that.

633
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I totally agree with you. So yeah, speaking

634
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: of Mercedes, Mercedes is now going to get a record

635
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: deal and she's going to start writing, be a songwriter,

636
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 3: and she's on the brink of fame. And Marley reveals

637
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: to Rider that she's she entered a contest for songwriting,

638
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 3: hasn't actually heard back, is feeling very discouraged, and that

639
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: she's going to leave the New Directions after this competition.

640
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: And then Rider is going to go to Jake shirtless.

641
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: Shirtless Jake importantly, I'm not sure why they had to

642
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: have that, but they did. I mean, Jacob looks great.

643
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: Do we have to do we have to do that?

644
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: W can? Why can't we?

645
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: Fine? Just like weird? And Writer's going to tell Jake

646
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: and he's going to They're going to try and help her,

647
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 3: and basically Mercedes is the one who comes to the

648
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: rescue and tells Marley like, you give yourself three minutes

649
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 3: to sulk and then you move on and you write

650
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 3: some more and you don't stuff. I don't know about

651
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: this storyline for me personally, Like I like the Mercedes

652
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: storyline of it all, Like we're seeing where she's going.

653
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: I like to see that, like we're seeing you know,

654
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: Santana and Rachel's kind of trajectory. Just because she's not

655
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: in New York doesn't mean that we can't see other

656
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: characters that we've learned, you know, come to deeply love.

657
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 3: But the whole Marley thing is like once again, like

658
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: poor Marlee. You have to feel bad for Marilee, Like

659
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 3: I love Melissa and I love Marley as a character.

660
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: But like the storyline itself is like why it's.

661
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: Also weird that it comes up only during these competitions

662
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: or right, It's like she abandons it the rest of

663
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: the year, right, Like isn't that important to her that

664
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: she's like, well, now this is the opportunity, right right?

665
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: It would make more sense also if that original song

666
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: that apparently was rumored to be see this.

667
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 3: This would have made more sense than I think it

668
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 3: would have justified it all. And maybe it's like to give

669
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: Amber and Mercedes some more of like a mentorship, you know,

670
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: to the younger to the newer kids. I get it.

671
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 2: I think it's finely much more about Mercedes. And then Mark.

672
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 3: Harley also like, why are the guys like coming to

673
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 3: her rescue? Like why do we always need like the

674
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: guys coming to her rescue? Like she can figure it out,

675
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: Like why is she the one always feeling like I

676
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: can't do it? And then a man is telling her

677
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 3: that she can, but a lady, Yes, a lady is

678
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: going to lift her up. At the end game Rider

679
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 3: and Jake from this whole like weird love triangle that

680
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: was going on, and I guess so it's like cut it.

681
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: So it's Nationals And after that little run in with Tina,

682
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 2: Burt and Carroll decide to leave and Bert's like, let's

683
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 2: just go. We don't have to be here. It's fine,

684
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 2: he thought you Like She's like I thought I could

685
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: hand it, but I can't. And it makes it's very

686
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: level headed, makes a lot of sense. Yeah, and how

687
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,959
Speaker 2: that perspective of like seeing them living their lives does

688
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: make it more real the fact that Finn is gone,

689
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: so they decide to dip. And then the new directions

690
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: are at the theater and we're about to perform and

691
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: they're not there. But before we do that, can we

692
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: talk about the other performances? Okay, so the Amazonians.

693
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 3: I love this performance. I'm not how I I know

694
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: it's it's ridiculous and it's supposed to be outrageous.

695
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: But I also they're from Oklahoma and they're also.

696
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 3: So they were all so tall, so tall, and the

697
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 3: beach balls and the feather costumes, the whole thing was

698
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 3: just absolutely crazy.

699
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't know who that the dancer who was lip

700
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: sinking right the lead, but that was an excellent lip sync.

701
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 3: It was very good.

702
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: I was very impressive.

703
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 3: They don't get that in advance usually, like they're just tall,

704
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 3: like maybe in rehearsal, like you're going to be the

705
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: one doing it and they get close ups and you're like,

706
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: I hope they do it?

707
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: No she no, Yeah.

708
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 3: I love that song. Love the go Gos. Loved the number.

709
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: I thought it was so.

710
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 2: Such a funny. But it's fun like why the feathers

711
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: and people? But also why not?

712
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 3: Why not? Is the question?

713
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: And then we get two throat explosion, which is wild.

714
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: Is absolutely insane. I think Scotty would also tell you, like,

715
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 3: he's not a dancer first, and he's like so worried

716
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: about getting it right. But I was like, you're the

717
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 3: lead singer. You can do whatever you want. Step out.

718
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to dance, but he wanted to do so right.

719
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 3: I think he was. I think he's just he seems

720
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 3: like he's like very much like a perfectionist. Yes, I

721
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: think he would say.

722
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: Like, girl, nobody cares what you're moving. He's that voice.

723
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 3: Sounds so damn good. I really liked the smashup too.

724
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: I did too, and I also like the arrangement of

725
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: mister Robado was phenomenal. Technical note I wish I had

726
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 2: for all the performances. Sometimes they do this on the

727
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: competition episodes, or they they turn up the lead vocals

728
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 2: and you don't hear the backgrounds as much we needed.

729
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: I think sort of defeats the purpose because it's a

730
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: show choir. Yes, it's not just the lead, and so

731
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 2: I wish you could hear the whole part of the

732
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 2: backgrounds because the arrangement of these were so good.

733
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: But I guess it's Skylar's they're like just them. I mean,

734
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree, but Scholars sounds so good.

735
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 2: His voice is so high.

736
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 3: You're obsessed with the high.

737
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: One because I'm so jealous.

738
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: His voice is very high. He has a very high,

739
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 3: very big range, and it's his tone is also so smooth,

740
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: so smooth, and it felt epic.

741
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 2: It felt adrenaline and different and weird, like you haven't

742
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 2: done anything.

743
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, kudos to them. Honestly, I still think, personally

744
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 3: spoiler alert than that New Direction should have won that competition.

745
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 3: I'm not.

746
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 2: I think this is the first time I actually like,

747
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: I think.

748
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: That anyway this competition. When we were shooting it, I

749
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 3: don't remember feeling the way that I felt when I

750
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 3: watch it now. I don't remember feeling like so emotional

751
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: until we started shooting some fun what I'm looking for.

752
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: I also don't remember feeling like and obviously I think

753
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 3: it's the editing too, with like all the core stuff,

754
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: but like, the final product is so powerful to me

755
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 3: that if you had to ask me, like what song

756
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 3: always gets you or like which songs this competition? Yeah,

757
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: And I didn't feel that way while we were shooting it.

758
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: No, because I think when you watch the episode and

759
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: it's you have like the Caroline Burton, the thin storyline

760
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 2: going throughout it, and then you tet choose those damn

761
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: flashback and it is.

762
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 3: It will surprise you. They don't tell us they're doing

763
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 3: that either. We had spooked and it's like not a

764
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: good spook. Sometimes, No, it's not prepared for it.

765
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 2: And I think to us, like getting through the days,

766
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: because we shot it over a couple of days. It

767
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: wasn't just one day. It's like you're just trying to

768
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: like no drama. No, you're just trying to get through

769
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 2: the day, do your job. And I don't think there's

770
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 2: a lot of emotion. But those songs are so good.

771
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: I remember America not feeling as good. Agreed, and they

772
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: still haven't found felt great. That was the one, like

773
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: you said, But watching it back, all of that so fun. Fact.

774
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 2: I know I've said this, stop me if if I

775
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 2: told this whole story already. So I was dating someone

776
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: at the time, Marco, and he was stuck in Brazil

777
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: late that night, our first night filming. We're just like

778
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 2: sitting on stage waiting for another setup, waiting to go again. Yes,

779
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 2: so he had been gone at this point two and

780
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: a half years, his mom, his brother Stop lived in

781
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: the US. He got it was the government actually like

782
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: messed up. And I get an email from his mom

783
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: being like, am I reading this correctly? Did he just

784
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: get really approved to come back into the US? And goosebumps? Now, yes,

785
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 2: and everybody knew, Like that's when I told the story,

786
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 2: how like Brad really the day he got stuck there,

787
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: Brad allowed me to like lead, I was bawling out yes,

788
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: and we thought it might be a couple months. Not

789
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: ended up three years. And I looked at the email.

790
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: I'm like walking in the wings, you know where like

791
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: Will is standing watching us. That's where I was, and

792
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 2: I like, go off. I talked her on the phone.

793
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 2: I'm like reading the email and like and it was

794
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: a sentence after all this time, like you don't know

795
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: the amount of things. I literally was out the White

796
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 2: House one time.

797
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we wondered. When we went to the consulate in Yes, France,

798
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 3: I chased he tried to get people, anybody, anybody.

799
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: I talked to Obama's head of immigration policy about this

800
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: and she's like, legally I cannot help you. I was like, okay,

801
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 2: respect but like trying. He tried, Yeah, I tried everything,

802
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: and he was asleep in Brazil because it was really

803
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 2: late in my life, so he didn't even know. And

804
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 2: so I remember seeing you first and I was like,

805
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 2: Marc's coming home, and you're like what and you started

806
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: screaming and then everyone's like what's going on? And I'm like,

807
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 2: Marc's coming home. All the new kids. I'd never even

808
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 2: met him, and so everyone was happy. I remember yelling

809
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: to the audience because Amber was sitting in the audience.

810
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 2: She's like yes. Everyone was so excited. And then the

811
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: number we were performing was America, and it was very,

812
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: very I went so hard. There's some shots where I'm

813
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: like going really hard, and I'm like, that's when you

814
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: found out, yeah, because it was so odd of all

815
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: these things lined up that like song we're singing is

816
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: the song that I did not really know, or like

817
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: none of us really like, and all of a sudden,

818
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 2: I'm like.

819
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, wow, that's crazy. I don't think I

820
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 3: remember that. I mean I obviously knew during that time,

821
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 3: but I don't think I remember.

822
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: And it was so you know how we are in

823
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,959
Speaker 2: those days anyway, We're like so tired and delirious. But yeah,

824
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 2: it was really late at night and I wasn't eating

825
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: because I was trying to get skinny to Brazil, and

826
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: so I just like was fully out of my mind.

827
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 2: And I remember like getting in the car after because

828
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: we filmed downtown and like calling my sister. My sister

829
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,479
Speaker 2: is balling, and Marco had no idea, like.

830
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 3: We were crazy. Everybody knew before, so.

831
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: Like I woke up to I talked to him about it,

832
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: but I just will never ever forget it. Every time

833
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: I see that performance, it's like layer upon layer of yes.

834
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 3: And also the whole journey on Glee too, it's like

835
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: three years of that being stuck in every time thinking

836
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 3: he's coming back, You're not coming.

837
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: Back, and everybody knew, Like Brad even released me to

838
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: go to Brazil. I had four free days months and

839
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 2: you told me go go see him.

840
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

841
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: So it was like a very much yes. And also

842
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: like when Corey passed away, I was with Marco in London.

843
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: They knew each other well, and so it was also

844
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: just like this is really weird.

845
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. Now he's an American citizen.

846
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he still didn't come home for six another

847
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: like another six months there's still another error. But yeah,

848
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: so like this performance just has like a lot of meaning,

849
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 2: a lot of personal meaning and also technically speaking, Jenna,

850
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 2: more than a feeling. Is so unbelievably good you sound.

851
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 2: There's one note you hold for about eight hours and

852
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 2: at the end of a little help on it, help

853
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 2: in all of it. Yeah, but and you like at

854
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 2: the end of it, you go up even higher and

855
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: you and I don't think Darren has I did better.

856
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 2: You also sound very good together. Your voices are very different, Yeah,

857
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 2: very different, very very good together.

858
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 3: So interesting. I don't remember that feeling that when I

859
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 3: recorded that either.

860
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 2: Oh I remember, like guys, when we're performing these things

861
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 2: and it's like blasting to the speakers, it feels like

862
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 2: you're doing a concert. And I remember the first time

863
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: hearing that, and I was like, yes, like this is

864
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,479
Speaker 2: so good and it's so fun to also like lip

865
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 2: sync really good backgrounds like that.

866
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 3: Totally it's a great song and a great cover in general,

867
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 3: Like the version they did was really good. So you're like, oh, great.

868
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 2: This is awesome.

869
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 3: That is such a very very songs like that that.

870
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, yeah, I will bop to this.

871
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 2: I also you don't get to sing a lot of

872
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 2: songs like that like that, Yes, And it was like, yes,

873
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: you give her the opportunity and look what she does

874
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 2: with it and it was so good. And also I

875
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: don't think Darren, you guys weren't doing a lot of

876
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: classic rock like this.

877
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 3: No, no way, I mean we didn't do that a

878
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 3: lot in general. Like that was given to Corey was.

879
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: It was Corey and Leah like they would do.

880
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 3: This journey faithfully all those.

881
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: And I feel like and like they obviously said a

882
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 2: very high standard and bar yes, but you guys met

883
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: it and it's very very good.

884
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 3: This was a fun one. That was a fun one

885
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 3: to record. America. There's some crazy riffs on that that

886
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: you do that. I was like, what is he actually doing?

887
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 3: And like how did he do that? How did you?

888
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: Luke was fully on one like if you listen.

889
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 3: To America, like like where is he going?

890
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

891
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 3: The scale was crazy.

892
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: At some point, Alex and I are just like going

893
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: back and forth and I was like, I, Okay, what

894
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: is happening.

895
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 3: You did it? You sounded great. Everybody sounded really good

896
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 3: on that number. I actually think like if you listen

897
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 3: that number as a track like a single, and then

898
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 3: you watch it you're like, oh wow, like you appreciate

899
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 3: both the vocals and the performance of it. America is like, again,

900
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: I clearly don't know America all that well, even though

901
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 3: I thought I did, Like you know, I remember that,

902
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: I thought like would be sandwiching, you know, sandwiched by

903
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 3: the ones we did. But it does work because.

904
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 2: The arrangement, the arrangements are so uniform. Yeah, there's like

905
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 2: cohesion between all three of them, and they sound like

906
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: they go together.

907
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 3: And then still haven't found Okay, First of all, love this.

908
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 3: This is one of the best albums I think.

909
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: Ever, one of the best songs ever.

910
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 3: Yes, song ever. I was so excited and so thrilled

911
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: that I got to stand on this song and it

912
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 3: was like all of us graduates.

913
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 2: Yes, which also was really that was really special. It's

914
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: something we never got to do.

915
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 3: Yes. The version that they produced is excellent, and like

916
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 3: that's hard to beat because this song is so good,

917
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 3: it's so iconic that I was like scared.

918
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 2: I think, what's nice about it? Like the one version

919
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: by Mary J. Blige. When you do things quite different focally,

920
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: but you keep the integrity of like.

921
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 3: The the number itself.

922
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the song, it seems to work really well with

923
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 2: U two songs.

924
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. I also didn't know maybe I didn't

925
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 3: read it or it wasn't written. The drumsticks.

926
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: I don't have any memory of that either.

927
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 3: Thanks, because I don't think we knew that what's happening.

928
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 3: And I think for some reason, Brad Beeker was there

929
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 3: for this, and I don't know why I have the

930
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 3: memory of that. Maybe I'm completely conflating. I think Elitie

931
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 3: had to leave for the day or something and Brad

932
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 3: Beeker stepped in and helped with one of the days

933
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 3: of nationals.

934
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 2: Or he might have also been.

935
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 3: Been there to help Alody with national I mean this episode,

936
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 3: Brad Baker usually does the competition and the song itself

937
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 3: is like great to sing and I and is emotional

938
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: because we were you know, Corey and then you didn't

939
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 3: know they were doing the flashbacks in addition to that,

940
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 3: But like when he pulls out the drumsticks at the end,

941
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 3: I was not prepared for that at all when we

942
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 3: were shooting it, and I remember him playing about the

943
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 3: first time we saw them, and I was like, what

944
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 3: what are those?

945
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 4: What are those and Core got really emotional, and then

946
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 4: we all got really emotional, and then we did the

947
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 4: number a thousand times again and that's when I remember,

948
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 4: I think that's why I want that one hit so hard,

949
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh.

950
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 3: I can never watch this the same ember again now.

951
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: And then they added all the flashbucks in the edit.

952
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh, Core, one was excellent.

953
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 3: And then him waiting in the wings app say he

954
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 3: did his best. I sent Kevin a photo. You can

955
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 3: post it if you want, Kevin, I was crying yesterday.

956
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 3: I didn't have time to watch this. There's no other

957
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 3: time for me to watch this episode except for nine

958
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 3: point thirty in the morning. So texting Kevin like, I'm

959
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 3: watching sitny of Angels right now. I don't think I'm

960
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 3: emotionally prepared for this at this hour of the day,

961
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 3: and I'm just weeping, Like from the beginning the medley,

962
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 3: all the way till the end, all the way through Chord,

963
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 3: I just wasn't equipped.

964
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: That cut in with Burton Carroll. They gave us this

965
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 2: like really beautiful like pep talk. Oh yeah, and then

966
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 2: they're watching the audience and feelings out like they're doing

967
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 2: all his favorite songs. I was like, I can't. I

968
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 2: can't handle this. And then when Cord lifts up the

969
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 2: sticks and they cut to them again, and it's like

970
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 2: looking at Mercedes, like, oh my god, it's.

971
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 3: Just it's too much. It's too much.

972
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 2: Also side note, we've never looked better as it.

973
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 3: I was gonna say the rehearsals for this were very

974
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 3: must have been long and expensive.

975
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 2: Because we've never looked better.

976
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 3: I finally know how to hit a line.

977
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 2: I have I'll see if you can post them. I

978
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 2: have full takes of how we filmed them, because we

979
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 2: could have performed this, right, Yes, I have those two

980
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: have two of the songs, right, I think I have

981
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: America I have still haven't found And you see it

982
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 2: all and you see Brooke like over the god Mike

983
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 2: telling Cord where to go. But we've yeah, proud of us. No, no,

984
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 2: we looked great, really did it?

985
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 3: What a way to go out and we still lost.

986
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 2: Some bitter about I.

987
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 3: Do like the whole trajectory where the storyline is going though,

988
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,919
Speaker 3: we're going to save the Glee Club. The Glee Club

989
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 3: has been disbanded. It feels very old Glee. It feels

990
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 3: like Sue is actually gonna finally it's like the question

991
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 3: of like this is the end of we're getting to

992
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: the end of the series. Is is Sue gonna do it?

993
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 2: It very much feels like a series finale because there

994
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 2: will goes in there.

995
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 3: She's like, you haven't so funny and the Sancho Pez

996
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 3: and the trophy. Gosh, she's so good. I'm grateful that

997
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 3: we've gotten so much. I was like, I actually forgot

998
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 3: that we have so much.

999
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 2: I am Jane slush to having this conversation is like

1000
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 2: so sobering because it's like the bright bubble that the

1001
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 2: delusion that the glee club has lived in this the

1002
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 2: whole time. It feels like it's like the clocks run out,

1003
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 2: the game is just over.

1004
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 3: Such a good line, Oh this is good. This whole

1005
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 3: scene was really good.

1006
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 2: It was very good.

1007
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 3: And Becky just being sitting there talking to him table

1008
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 3: it was very good too. We lose and we are disbanded,

1009
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 3: like it's really over. It's really over.

1010
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 2: It feels like it's like, how do you come back

1011
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 2: from this?

1012
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,959
Speaker 3: I know, but don't worry. It does with a whole

1013
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 3: new cast.

1014
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 2: What were the other things that got eliminated? It was

1015
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 2: like it was academic decathlon and actual decathlon like US

1016
00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 2: and US. Do you remember finding out that we weren't

1017
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: going to win?

1018
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 3: I remember reading it and thinking like, no, like this

1019
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 3: is the last time our competition and we don't win,

1020
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 3: Like this is our last Nationals and we don't win.

1021
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,479
Speaker 2: It's wrong. It does like I'm okay with a little

1022
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 2: happy ending.

1023
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 3: But I guess they mean I know I'll never forget

1024
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 3: always being like you guys can't always win. There's nowhere

1025
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 3: to go from there. So I get it. It's a

1026
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 3: TV show, but we should have won.

1027
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 2: It don't make us right.

1028
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 3: Well, seeing those performances, I was like, wow, generally, you know.

1029
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 2: We can be self deprecating all the other time.

1030
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 3: The crowd was good, they loved us.

1031
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, that crowd was up on the feet. There were

1032
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 2: a lot of background actors, a lot that.

1033
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 3: Theater was Yeah, that was a big one. I remember

1034
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 3: that one being big. Okay, let's create the performances.

1035
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 2: I want to apologize. If you listen to the full version,

1036
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: I'm doing insane things.

1037
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 3: Are you to listen now?

1038
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 2: Insane things? It's Luke's fault.

1039
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 3: I love it, but I had no idea and crazier

1040
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 3: in America because America is crazy.

1041
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 2: I just don't stop. I just keep going. And I

1042
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 2: think Luke was fully unleashed at this point because we

1043
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 2: end up doing I won't tell you, but there's a

1044
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 2: song we revisit in the future I had You're a

1045
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: recollection of and again.

00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 3: Is this your favorite Teina number?

Speaker 3: I have to go back and listen to this.

1059
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 2: It's dumb, okay, like it's.

1060
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, America honestly didn't think that this was going

1061
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 3: to happen A plot, yeah, I think, And so I'm

1062
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 3: found out looking for a Okay, that's a really good average.

1063
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 3: Let's do some tarty takes, you know. I have to say,

1064
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 3: there weren't any real Auchi's that stood out in my mind.

1065
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 3: I'm sure there was one that I missed.

1066
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 2: There was a line that Becky said, sure if there

1067
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 2: was an Olympic event, and being totally gay as a gay,

1068
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 2: I stand by that. I think she's allowed, she gets

1069
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,439
Speaker 2: a pass. That shit was so funny.

1070
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 3: Was so close up to to him. I was like,

1071
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 3: very jarring, best dance move. Okay, well, first of all,

1072
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 3: we had pransercise herself.

1073
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 2: That's true, shout out to fansercise.

1074
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 3: But I think throat explosion like we have to get

1075
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 3: think we looked good, but throwing explosion has like choreography.

1076
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 3: Best song still haven't found wow? Right, Yeah, yeah, definitely.

1077
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I love a lie.

1078
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 2: But what I'm just kidding murder.

1079
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 3: It's by your prop the jumpsticks.

1080
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 2: The jumpsticks obviously in second place for the hot.

1081
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 3: This line.

1082
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 2: Oh man. I mean, I feel like there were a

1083
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 2: lot of good emotional.

1084
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 3: Like Sam's speech and Carol's speech, and I will say

1085
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 3: I do think Sue's speech just to Will also about

1086
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 3: like the game being over was like really it really

1087
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 3: got me.

1088
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 2: It got me too, and really felt so fine. Sums up.
