The feeling that Glee leaves me with 62 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 9: is definitely one of inspiration from all of the songs 63 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 9: and artists and genres that I was able to explore 64 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 9: and discover just from watching the show and hearing the 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 9: music As an artist myself, it feels so inspirational to 66 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 9: be able to hear those songs and see the journey 67 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 9: of the characters and try to take a piece of 68 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 9: that into my own life. And another feeling that the 69 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 9: show leaves me with is one of hope because of 70 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 9: the world that was created, not only by the writers 71 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 9: and by the actors, but also hope of a different time. 72 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 9: That when Glee ended, it seem that we were moving 73 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 9: forward in so many ways as a society, and even 74 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 9: though we've had setbacks in recent years, I do have 75 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 9: that hope that we'll get back to that world that 76 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 9: was created, especially in the finale of Glee. 77 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 10: Hi, Kevin and Jenny. My name is Diana and I'm 78 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 10: from the Metro Detroit area. The feeling that Glee leaves 79 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 10: me with is gratefulness. Glee came around at a time 80 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 10: that I was struggling both personally and professionally. I'm a 81 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 10: music teacher and I was teaching at an elementary school 82 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 10: at the time. Twenty ten, I started my first glee 83 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 10: club at my school and it went for three years 84 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 10: until I was transferred buildings. I don't know where I 85 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 10: would be if I had not had Glee. I've gotten 86 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 10: back into doing community theater and am thriving in my 87 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 10: current teaching position.

Who I am now 95 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 6: is because of Glee. I get my absurd humor from Ian, 96 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 6: my magical realist opulent taste from Ryan, and my earnestness 97 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 6: comes from Brad. I'm also really proud to sing in 98 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 6: a gay men's chorus, and it's because Glee helped me 99 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 6: acceend my sexuality and made me fall in love with 100 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 6: music and performing. I feel like I'm in the new 101 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 6: directions of the Warblers every time I sing on stage. 102 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 6: So thank you both for what you're doing to spotlight 103 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 6: what a positive force Glee was then and also now. 104 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 6: And love you both. 105 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 11: Hi, Kevin and Jenna. 106 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 12: This is Nicole from Toronto, Canada and just wanted to 107 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 12: say love your show.

And 112 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 12: what's the feeling Lee leaves me with? Well, there isn't 113 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 12: a day that Glee isn't on my TV somewhere. If 114 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 12: it's in the background, it's just my background noise. Every 115 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 12: once in a while, I pick up an, you know, 116 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 12: a line that I hadn't heard before or I have 117 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 12: heard before that just absolutely makes me laugh. And so, 118 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 12: you know, I don't want to see it leaves me Glee, 119 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 12: but it leaves me with such a good feeling, and 120 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 12: I just feel happy all the time. And I'm just 121 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 12: glad to have experienced a show like that. All the 122 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 12: characters are great, All the actors on a show are great. 123 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 12: This old lady at fifty loves the show about teenagers, 124 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 12: and I, you know, I let my my little girl 125 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 12: watch it, and she grew up watching it, and she's 126 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 12: twelve years old now and she's the most accepting person 127 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 12: in the world. And I love it. And it's all 128 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 12: because she watches Glee. And my niece as well, she 129 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 12: watches Glee, and it's the three of us together. We 130 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 12: love the show. It's our happy place and we thank 131 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 12: you guys. It was great and I'm going to miss 132 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 12: this show, but yes, thank you guys. All the actors 133 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 12: and producers and everybody that was involved with Glee think 134 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 12: you think you? 135 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 13: Thank you. 136 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 14: Hi, this is Kiara from Italy. Forgive the accent. I hope, 137 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 14: I hope I'm gonna make sense. Glee allowed itself to 138 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 14: exist while being imperfect, and the imperfections made it memorable 139 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 14: and different and so real for so many people. So 140 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 14: I kind of feel in an environment that we have 141 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 14: right now creatively, in which everything is meant to be 142 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 14: perfect and everybody feels so stuck by the judgment of others, 143 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 14: I feel like Glee leaves me with creative freedom. It 144 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 14: really does, because something doesn't need to be completely and utterly, 145 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 14: utterly perfect in order to have extreme worth and become 146 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 14: special to people. It just has to exist and be honest. 147 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 14: Thank you for everything, by. 148 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 15: Hi, Kevin and Jenna. My name is Carolina. Carolina. I 149 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 15: am from Mexico and the feeling Glee leaves me with 150 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 15: is Glee made me believe in my dreams, made me 151 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 15: encourage me to follow my dreams. I've always been a 152 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 15: theater girl. I danced for so many years, and actually 153 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 15: when I was watching Lee, I really thought I could 154 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 15: make it into Juilliard. Unfortunately I didn't. I didn't continue, 155 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 15: I didn't follow that dream, but I did. I did 156 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 15: find some others, and I don't know. I just love Glee. 157 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 15: I just love rewatching it. Getting this excitement of these 158 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 15: new songs, these new adventures and everything all you guys 159 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 15: went through is just amazing. Thank you so much for this, 160 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 15: this beautiful experience you have. You have given us all. 161 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 16: Hi Jenna, Hi Kevin. I'm Paulu or Paul and I'm 162 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 16: from Brazil. So what's the feeling that leaves me with? 163 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 16: To me is like a lingering feeling of belonging, because 164 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 16: first of all, Glee never left me. Glee is with 165 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 16: me every second from every day in my life. On 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 16: every new music he released, I'm first to make in 167 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 16: my mind a live version to it, like a crazy person. 168 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 16: But for real, it's being more than a decade and 169 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 16: we're still on an active community.

There is no other show like it, 186 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 18: and I truly don't think there ever will be.

I started watching the 191 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 20: show in middle school when it premiered, and I was hooked. 192 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 20: I identified with Rachel as a Burnett Jewish girl with 193 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 20: big dreams, and I was eventually known as the girl 194 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 20: who loved Glee, and I still am basically see when 195 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 20: I was entering high school and having a hard time, 196 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 20: and the Glee characters often felt like my friends when 197 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 20: I didn't have many. I eventually transferred to a private 198 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 20: school because I got so bad, and in that period 199 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 20: I felt like Kurt when he went to Dalton. This 200 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 20: comparison helped me come out of my shell at the 201 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 20: new school and blossom. I eventually went to college and 202 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 20: remember watching the series finale, this time with a friend. 203 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 20: I've gotten to meet Darren and Leah at shows and 204 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 20: share this with them, and I've even gotten Jenna's autograph 205 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 20: in the mail with her book.

The feeling that Glee leaves me with 226 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 23: is versely it's a warm and fuzzy feeling like whenever 227 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 23: I watch the show or let's listen to the songs, 228 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 23: I'm straight away transported back to that fifteen year old 229 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 23: he was watching Glee and loving every minute of it. 230 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 23: But then also in a sentimental way.

Is It reminds me that different people 234 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 23: can come together and for a shared unified goal in 235 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 23: the face of adversity. Right now, we're all going through 236 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 23: different extreme times across the world, but we need to 237 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 23: find our chosen people and they can help us get 238 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 23: through it.

But the feeling that Glee leaves me with, 245 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 24: I think is summed up by the plaque in the 246 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 24: show itself, which is Glee by its very definition, is 247 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 24: about opening yourself up to joy. It showed me that 248 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 24: there is joy in every thing in the arts, in music, 249 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 24: even the little weird things. Because let's face it, the 250 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 24: show got increasingly weird as it went on, but you know, 251 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 24: life is weird. Chasing your dreams is weird, especially in 252 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 24: the arts, but there is still so much joy to 253 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 24: be found in that weirdness as long as you're open 254 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 24: to it. The show came into my life when I 255 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 24: was an awkward, depressed, closeted nerd, and it helped me 256 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 24: see that I too had a voice that mattered, and 257 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 24: that I would get my time in the spotlight too. 258 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 24: It helped me realize that being cool was in everything. 259 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 24: The only thing worth being and celebrating was who I 260 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 24: really was, and through that it gave me some of 261 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 24: my most cherished times. We didn't always have money, but 262 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 24: we always had the music, and now I have the 263 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 24: memories too, and I am so so. 264 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 7: Thankful for that. 265 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 24: The show was a joy and getting to relive it 266 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 24: with you guys was a joy as well.

But what I would say the feeling 338 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 28: Glee leaves me with is pride because when I first 339 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 28: started watching Glee in middle school, I didn't know that 340 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 28: I was a lesbian, and just watching and rewatching Santana's 341 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 28: storyline of coming out to Aboula as I got older, 342 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 28: and a lot of different coming out storylines that happened 343 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 28: over the course of the show made me realize that 344 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 28: I was a lesbian and helped me to be more 345 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 28: comfortable with identifying as a lesbian. So, yeah, pride is 346 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 28: probably what I would say. 347 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 7: The feeling Glee leaves me with is. 348 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 29: Hi, my name is Nola Meyer, and this is the 349 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 29: feeling that Glee leaves me with. The feeling Glee leaves 350 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 29: me with is like being emotionally mugged by a glitter cannon. 351 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 29: You go in expecting a quirky high school musical and 352 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 29: by the end you're crying over a slow motion Hallway 353 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 29: performance of Cough Syrup, questioning your life choices and contemplating 354 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 29: if slushies are a legitimate form of conflict resolution. Confused 355 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 29: by sus Sylvester just monologued about world peace in a tracksuit, 356 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 29: and somehow I'm sitting there invested in seventeen overlapping love triangles, 357 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 29: none of which makes sense, yet all of which I 358 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 29: care about deeply. It's hilarious because it shouldn't work, and 359 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 29: yet it does, like a chaotic fever dream choreographed by 360 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 29: Broadway and sponsored by Emotional Whiplash. 361 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 30: Hey Denna, Hey Kevin, this is Melissa. I'm a huge 362 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 30: fan of Glee. I'm a huge fan of your podcast. 363 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 30: And yeah, the feeling that Glee leaves me with is 364 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 30: just passion for the music. 365 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 31: It's the feeling to be, to be, to be who 366 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 31: I want to be, to not care what others think 367 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 31: of me, and to always live out my dream whatever 368 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 31: the people say. 369 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 30: And I should never ever underestimate myself. This is what 370 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 30: I learned from Great Glee, and this is what I 371 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 30: always learn when I come back and watch this TV 372 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 30: show over and over again. I learn it every single lay. 373 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 30: I learned it from all the characters. I am so 374 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 30: thankful for every single actor, every single character that was 375 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 30: ever on the show.

My name is Edward the feeling 378 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 32: that Glee leaves me with his happiness as someone with autism. 379 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 32: Glee has been a huge comfort in my life. It 380 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 32: makes me feel safe, inspired, and understood in a way 381 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 32: that's few shows ever have. The characters, the music, the friendships. 382 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 32: They've given me so much joy as they remind me 383 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 32: that there's always a place where I belong. That's the 384 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 32: feeling Glee will always leave me with. 385 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 31: Hi. 386 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 33: My name is Ellington Campbell. I'm sixteen years old and 387 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 33: I live in Vancouver, British Columbia. The feeling that Lee 388 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 33: leaves me with is acceptance. Glee has changed the way 389 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 33: I interact and share myself with other people. It's made 390 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 33: me feel like the things I am passionate about, namely 391 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 33: musical and theater and theater which I want to pursue 392 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 33: after high school, are just as important as more conventional interests, 393 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 33: and has inspired me to be the person I am today. 394 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 33: Thank you Jenna and Kevin for this incredible podcast. It's 395 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 33: meant so much to me. 396 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 34: Hi, Kevin and Jenna, I'm Gliemi and I'm from Brazio. 397 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 34: I fell in love with Glee the moment I saw 398 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 34: trailer for the pilot back in two thousand and nine. 399 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 34: So I consider myself one of the og Brazilian Greeks 400 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 34: and the feeling that Glee leaves me with is plots 401 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 34: and lots of love. If it wasn't for Glee, I 402 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 34: wouldn't have met the love of my life, my now husband, Leo. 403 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 34: We've been together for ten years and we met and 404 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 34: shared our first kiss in a Glee celebration party that 405 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 34: happened the weekend before the finale originally aired in March 406 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 34: twenty fifteen. And although Glee was an integral part of 407 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 34: our love story, we had never watched the series together 408 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 34: until you guys started the podcast, so we rewatched the 409 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 34: entire show together for the first time because of you 410 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 34: listening to every single episode of the podcast. And the 411 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 34: craziest coincidence is we saw the last episode of the 412 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 34: show in our two year marriage anniversary this past July. 413 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 34: So you guys were and still are very important to us, 414 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 34: and for that I say thank you, and Jenna come 415 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 34: to Brazil with Kevin the next time. 416 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 35: Okay, bye, Hi Jenna, Hi Kevin.

Maybe you're on the sofa, wrapped up 421 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 35: under a blanket at the end of the day. Maybe 422 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 35: you've got dogs or pets or cats or whatever it 423 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 35: is surrounding you, maybe kids, maybe another half, or maybe 424 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,239 Speaker 35: you're just happy on your own company. But you are 425 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 35: at home and you have just that feeling of safety 426 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 35: and comfort and warmth. 427 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 11: Of being at home. 428 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 35: That is how I feel anytime I watch or think 429 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 35: about Glee. And I didn't feel that very much growing up, 430 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 35: so having Glee was a massive comfort.

Glee 449 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 37: came out at a time when I was a freshman 450 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 37: in high school. I graduated the same time the characters 451 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 37: did in season three. I started a glee club at 452 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 37: my high school because of it. It really got me 453 00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 37: out of my shell and got me into performing way 454 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 37: more out of my comfort zone than I normally had. 455 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 37: And it made me stronger because it helped me come 456 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 37: out and be more accepting of myself after seeing so 457 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 37: many characters on the show, Santana, Kurt Blaine, even Karowski later. 458 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 7: Just make me a stronger person. 459 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 37: And I love you watching it every year. 460 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 7: Basically, thanks guys. 461 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 19: E Kevin and Jenna. My name is Chastity from New 462 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 19: Jersey and the feeling that Glee leads me with is 463 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 19: a feeling of comfort. I once read that people rewatch 464 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 19: shows when they feel like the world is unpredictable or 465 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 19: scary because it gives them a comforting feeling the show 466 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 19: being predictable to them, them being familiar with what's going 467 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 19: to happen. It really just kind of helps when everything 468 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 19: maybe outside of your world is maybe. 469 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 13: Not as predictable. And I feel like Glee is that 470 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 13: is one of those shows for me. I know that 471 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 13: no matter how many times I rewatch, i am going 472 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 13: to laugh, I'm going to cry, I'm going to be 473 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 13: excited for the characters, and overall just feel comfortable watching 474 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 13: the show, knowing what's going to happen, and just feeling 475 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 13: happy as I'm watching it. 476 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 38: Hi, Jenny and Kevin man named Charlotte and I'm from 477 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 38: Yorkshire in the UK. I'm so glad you put this 478 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 38: question out there, because I love when you ask your 479 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 38: guests this question. But for me, I couldn't really pinpoint 480 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 38: one word to describe the feeling that Glee leaves me with. 481 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 38: So I've just thought of a lot of words that 482 00:26:49,280 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 38: kind of encompass it for me as a whole. Comfort, happiness, sadness, familiarity, warms, joy, love, acceptance, community, grateful, inspired, safe, 483 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 38: and thankful. Glee is just my show. I watch it 484 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 38: all the time, constantly watching Glee, and it ultimately does 485 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 38: the right, it says in the tin, it brings glee 486 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 38: into my life and lots of other people's lives, which 487 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 38: may sound a bit cornet, but I don't care. I 488 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 38: just love it so much and thank you so much 489 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 38: for doing this podcast.

But I would say that Glee 523 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 41: leaves me the feeling with comfort. Literally no one has 524 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 41: said that until I think the most recent episodes and 525 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 41: I was like, oh my gosh, like what, but yeah, 526 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 41: the feeling Glee leaves me with is comfort. It's definitely 527 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 41: my comfort show. Whatever move I'm in, I know I 528 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 41: can always rely on the show making me just feel 529 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 41: better and uplifted and at home.

This is tatio Na from Brazil. 535 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 42: And the feeling that Glee leaves me with is just 536 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 42: a feeling normal and seen and included because I started 537 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 42: watching the show when I was thirteen, and I went 538 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 42: back and watched the whole sentence coming out and her 539 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 42: figuring out her relationship with Brittany and her sexuality, and 540 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 42: I was going through that myself as a young girl. 541 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 42: Seeing yourself on TV at that time was not the 542 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 42: easiest thing. So having that representation was so important to 543 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 42: me and to so many other people who are fans 544 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 42: of the show to this day, because I think for 545 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 42: everyone there was a character who went through something like 546 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 42: them or who looked like them. And that's why I 547 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 42: think the show is still so important to me because 548 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 42: it shaped me in a way and they created this 549 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 42: sense of community the lasts to this day of being 550 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 42: included and that. Guys, I love the podcast, Love you guys, 551 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 42: Thank you Bye. 552 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 30: Hi. 553 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 17: My name is Sophie. I'm from Sweden and the feeling 554 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 17: that Glee leaves me with is the feeling of healing. 555 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 17: I've always said that if I need something to pick 556 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 17: me up, you know, whether I'm feeling sick or just 557 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 17: feeling very down or sad, I've watched an episode of 558 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 17: Glee and it works like medicine, and it's still the 559 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 17: same today, sixteen years later. So I'm so grateful for 560 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 17: Gilee and also all the inspiration and thank you guys 561 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 17: for a great podcast. 562 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 43: Hello, fellow Gleek's. My name is Stephanie, and the feeling 563 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 43: that Glee leaves me with is just pure joy. This 564 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 43: show means the absolute world to me and will always 565 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 43: hold a special place in my heart. 566 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 5: To me, it's more than just a show. 567 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 43: It feels like life itself at times, with all of 568 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 43: its ups and downs. There's joy, and there's laughter and humor, 569 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 43: but also there's some heartbreak and loss too. It shows 570 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 43: kind of what it means to win and to fail, 571 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 43: to love and to grieve too. And the fact that 572 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 43: all of these moments are expressed through music makes it even. 573 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 7: More moving of an experience. 574 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 43: It's a reminder and a love letter to us all 575 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 43: that no matter what we go through, there's always love 576 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 43: and family and always a song to carry us through. 577 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 7: Thank you Glee. 578 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 11: Hi, my name is Wednesday, and the feeling that Glee 579 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 11: leaves for me is to keep on believing in yourself 580 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 11: and keep on going no matter how many times you 581 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 11: get pushed down, just get back up on your feet 582 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 11: and keep going.
