Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. When I heard there was a hot

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: opportunity for hot takes, he didn't ask if we were

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: reading hot takes. He said, I have plenty of hot

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: we were going to be giving hot takes. And I

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know if these are gonna be

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,239

Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I feel like something.

00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: Feel free to insert your hot takes anywhere in this episode. Okay,

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: thank you for uh for submitting you guys, never disappoint

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: with these. These are so so good. Okay, we've got

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: we've got voice notes, we've got dms, we've got comments,

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: we've got it all. Let's start with some of these

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 3: Instagram submissions, Kevin, and tell you so.

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: Here's one. Starting off hot Rachel had too many chances

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: with nada. She choked on her audition, got a second

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: chance and got in. Kurt had a flawless audition and

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: got a note. She also got a second chance during

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 2: the Midwinter critique. Yeah, I think there's a this has this,

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: this has got some legs. Yeah, I think, Yeah, Rachel definitely,

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,639
Speaker 2: but I think that that speaks to her persistence. Yes,

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: you got to have some struggles in there too. She

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: had just gotten in on the first time. How much

32
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: you know, how long lo can that story go for? No?

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: I know, I just read a crazy one. Okay, read it.

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: Rachel should have ended up with Puck. Whoaw one thing,

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: Glee Lak was true. It was a true love triangle.

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: It was all always clear who 'd it up with

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: who A. Rachel Finn Puck love triangle would have been

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: the next Lilah Jason tim for a night Lights. Instead,

39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: they just continually gave Puck lackluster storylines. If Rachel couldn't

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: end up with Finn, it should have been Puck. Finn

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: hated Jesse and it always felt dishonorable that she ended

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: up with him.

43
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: WHOA.

44
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: I recall there was like a little bit of a

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: Puck Rachel thing early on and I think that, you know,

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: the pace of Glee is not for sustaining these things

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: over many, many, many episodes. Yeah, so I think like

48
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: we dipped our toe in there. I think that I

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 2: think that for me, it made a lot of sense

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: that Puck and Quinn get together in the end. So

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily agree that Rachel should have been with Puck,

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: but I do agree with the jesse For me, wasn't

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: exactly the jesse for me didn't feel earned. It didn't

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: feel like maybe the right person for Rachel to end

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 2: up with. Yeah, but I don't think it should have been.

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: Puck agreed.

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: But that's a take.

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: This is a hot take.

59
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: The second half of season five is the worst part

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: of Glee.

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: It seems appropriate now all that seems irritated.

62
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: Jenna, speak on it, speak on it.

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: I'm shocked because the it feels like the majority was

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: telling us this whole back half of five and season

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: six is so good. Now this person did say the

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: season six is really good, but they are taking down

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: my spin off, and I have to say I am

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: upset about it because I think it is some of

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: the best Glee that we have aside from our early years.

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: It's grounded, it's focused, it's clear, it's I I'm just

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: I'm here for it. I don't know what's missing from

72
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: it that you could say that, like, I don't know.

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: Clearly this has to be a McKinley stand you know this, Yeah,

74
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: who needs to be in the hallways of McKinley.

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Because there's a hot take.

76
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: So again we have to say, like, we're not judging

77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: you in these things.

78
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: They are hot takes. But I'm up sad about that

79
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: because I love.

80
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this seems to me like someone who isn't who

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: doesn't like totally I said, we weren't judging, We're not.

82
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: That's just how I feel. Lamb should have been endgame,

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, yeah, it's not even that. That was

84
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: everyone was thinking it. And also somebody was saying another

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: hot take was if that Sam should have ended up

86
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: with Rachel.

87
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

88
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody said that uh bleeding and Queinn should have

89
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: had a storyline together in a friendship. They seem to

90
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 3: live parallel lies. Both come from seemingly wealthy upbringings. They

91
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: both have older siblings. They feel like they have to

92
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: live up to Francine and Cooper. They both have daddy issues,

93
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: and they were both bullying in their old school you

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: can see, of course. Uh, and they had to transfer. Yeah,

95
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: there's so much detail of this head candidate I have,

96
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: but I don't have enough time to love y'all.

97
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, they never really intersect.

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: No, and that can't be by design, you know. I

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: think that's just how how the cards fell.

100
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: But totally well, Diana was also like on her way

101
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: out at that, like Quinn was on her way out

102
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: as Blaine was really coming up in the show.

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: So like they're the timing was just I think off.

104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: And I think sometimes when you have characters that are

105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: similar or maybe have similar tracks, it's hard to find

106
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: a common ground or something that's maybe interesting or new

107
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: or fresh about their dynamic when they're if they're both

108
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: maybe serving a similar purpose or scratching the same itch

109
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: story wise, So who knows, Maybe it just wouldn't have

110
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: had legs, But definitely, I mean, with so many characters,

111
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: there's so many combos of missed opportunities throughout the years.

112
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: So but Blaine and Quinn definitely feels like a bit

113
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 2: of a blind spot. Yes, speaking of Quinn, someone said

114
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: Jesse Jesse Saint James and Quinn could have been a

115
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: solid couple. I I think that I can see that,

116
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: I see that I kind of like that.

117
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they match. I don't think I just

118
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: see it. I don't think. I don't think I like that.

119
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't like it.

120
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: Best duet and I think this is a pretty hot

121
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: take is I just can't stop loving you? From the

122
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: oh to saying not very iconic.

123
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: It's like hello is there?

124
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: But like maybe we should give it another listen. I

125
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: always loved singing Uh, don't go breaking. That was my favorite.

126
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 3: Was a good one.

127
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: No Air, Oh, no Air is so good.

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: Yes, it's still one of my favorites.

129
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: Hot take, the show should have been about Santana, not Rachel.

130
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: I think Variety would agree with you.

131
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: Okay, hot take funt Ofmies to New Directions is the

132
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: best run of episodes since season three thanks to.

133
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: Leah and nayat.

134
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: Take definitely make a case for that. I think that

135
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: that was one of those fun unexpected maybe not unexpected,

136
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: but definitely like seeing that get to play out in

137
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: a real world like scenario of New York and that

138
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: like see them really try to like I don't know,

139
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: there was so much tension there right because it's like

140
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: you have these relationships with people that you've known for

141
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: so long, like you like you love each other and

142
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: there's like a draw to one another, but they're also,

143
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: like you just butt heads constantly, so it's like it's

144
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: it was nice. It was fun to see that play out,

145
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: and I think that really added a lot of life

146
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: to Lee as you left. McKinley agreed, pink haired Quin

147
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: should have lasted longer.

148
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh hell yeah, should have lived for Quinn.

149
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: Hot take Jacked Little Tapestry season six is one of

150
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: the best episodes of the series. Okay, I remember that market.

151
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to look out for that. That's a

152
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: weird episode of those two albums.

153
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: Sebastian would have never been okay to help Blaine propose

154
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: to Kirk.

155
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: Mmmm, well, hey, people change, That's right, People change, people grow.

156
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 2: Mercedes Jones is truly the only heterosexual member of New Directions.

157
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: You know what, Okay, Okay, that's canon.

158
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: It's pretty heterosexual.

159
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.

160
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: I said it to see how it.

161
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Season one. Tina definitely not.

162
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: I've seen this one a few of out there in

163
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: the world Santana's Don't Rain on My Parade is better

164
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: than Rachel's. I think that's one of the like that's

165
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: emerged is one of those like these classic sort of

166
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: like Glee debates.

167
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: I think there's like they're just so different. How do

168
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: you even compare?

169
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think it's better. Yeah, I don't.

170
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: There's a hot take.

171
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: No, I agree with you. I don't think it's better.

172
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: There's a lot of NIA songs that like are just

173
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: the best of the best, But like this one, I

174
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: think ran on My Parade is just meant to be

175
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 3: the way it was doctor by Rachel.

176
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: I think that too, is like it's fun because that, uh,

177
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: that is like a character thing, right, It's like that

178
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: is how this person? Yeah would it is incredible, Right,

179
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: it's like the version spot on for her. But it's like,

180
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: that's not that's not it. That's not what you do

181
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: in a in a Broadway house take.

182
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: Tina should have been the catalyst and the leader of

183
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: the travel tons.

184
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

185
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it would have made so much sense.

186
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: It would have made a lot of sense her defecting

187
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: like that. The Thong song and blurred lines are bangers.

188
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: That's a rotten take.

189
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm judging that one.

190
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, season six is better than season one because

191
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: Kurt has a love story and not a one sided crush,

192
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: and Rachel is in her best version better than season one.

193
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: Hot take mm hmm.

194
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: Season five Christmas episode is the best one of them all.

195
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: Which one was that? Was that the Glee actually one?

196
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Oh, this is previously on aired?

197
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: Oh? Right, right right? That one was? So? Is that

198
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: the one where hot take baby Jesus?

199
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, love love child? Yes?

200
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: Yes? Oh are you ready for the hottest take? Oh?

201
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: Okay?

202
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 2: And I just want to This is not us saying it.

203
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: Somebody wrote this in and they said, I'm scared to

204
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: say this out loud, and they're not. I'm started for

205
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: you to say this out loud. This person said, I'm

206
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: not the biggest Britanna fan. That's about as hot as

207
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: a take can get on Glee and the Glee forums

208
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: of the internet. I think, Wow, I'm just gonna leave that.

209
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: There, drag, don't don't reveal who that said that. We'll

210
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: come for that.

211
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, five B is good if it wasn't called Glee. Interesting.

212
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: Glee kind of dropped the ball with how it portrayed

213
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: and utilized female friendships. That's kind of a serious hot take.

214
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's deep.

215
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Beth is the most underrated performance done by the

216
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: guys of need.

217
00:11:45,360 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I you know this, this isace. Wow, that's that's great.

218
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one.

219
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: That's not a hot take. That was just the truth.

220
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: He was a bad boyfriend. This is a hot take.

221
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: My favorite character for years was Korofski. When you don't

222
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 2: hear that a lot. There's not a lot of love

223
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: for Karowski out there.

224
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: But that's good. That's really good. He's I mean that

225
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: whole episode. He was so good.

226
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: And when they did coughs euroupe Lucy KABOOSI was the

227
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: most stupid story ever.

228
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: Queen had enough vulnerability. I'll I love Lucy kab.

229
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's I wonder if in that this

230
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: today's world, if that would have happened, if we would

231
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: have needed something like, you know, a secret, you know,

232
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: ugly or whatever past of hers, if that, if that's

233
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: what we needed for her to have vulnerability. I feel

234
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: like maybe that's maybe it could have been a little

235
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: more nuanced.

236
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: I still loved it.

237
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: Lane should have been written as by on the show. Okay,

238
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: I see that they did. They did have that moment

239
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: where he thought he might be by right, he dated Rachel.

240
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: But I think that, you know, I think, yeah, I

241
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 2: think there's a little bit. I think the dialogue in

242
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: the world about bisexuality has changed a lot, and I

243
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 2: think that like it's come. I think it's I think again,

244
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: we're seeing like the nuance of that a little bit

245
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: more so. I think that, you know, we have Brittany

246
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: obviously representing for the Bees, but I think, yeah, we

247
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: could have explored that a little bit more. That's a

248
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: hot take. Say it tell. I don't want to say that. One.

249
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: Someone said, I don't like Finchel. Are they watching the

250
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: same show? Sorry, no judgment, no judgment.

251
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 3: Sorry I forgot Somebody said Tinico and Crazy you should

252
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: have got more.

253
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, hot take. That's the truth.

254
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: There's a This is a hot take. Season five, episode

255
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: nineteen is not spoken about enough. The songs are incredible

256
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: and a beautiful storyline in that episode is Old Dog

257
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: New Tricks.

258
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: Oh, that's Czy is episode.

259
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: That's the episode episode. That's right, that's right, so we

260
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: will remember that.

261
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was with the Peter Pan production at the

262
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 2: Old Folks Home.

263
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.

264
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: June Burley McLain wasn't June and Squim. We had like

265
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: Tim Conway.

266
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah that's right, Billy Billy, Lady Williams, Billy Williams.

267
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, Glee got the stars. The stars

268
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: came out for Glee. It was wild back then, got

269
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: back in my day. I mean, Carol Burnette, that's true.

270
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: Icons Sugar and Lartie was one of the best chips

271
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: on the show. I know, that's right. Oh, there you go.

272
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: Jesse's Girl. Jesse's Girl. Glee version is better than the original.

273
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

274
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: As amazing as the trouble Tones were, I was still

275
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: rooting for them to lose. I like that. That's a

276
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: good take. Yeah, that is a good take.

277
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: It was.

278
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: The trouble Zones were so enjoyable. But you know, you've

279
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: got to always you gotta go back to your new directions.

280
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: That's your home team.

281
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: Mister Shee should not have been as close to those

282
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: high school kids.

283
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah do we know this, We know that. Yeah, Barry

284
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: is real. You guys are wild. Here you go, Jenna,

285
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: here's someone that's aligned with you. The New York scenes

286
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: of Lee should have been a spin off. So that

287
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, I think that could have really had legs.

288
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: I think that like you got you got a lot

289
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: of the characters, and.

290
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: You keep a home base and you keep that kind.

291
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 3: Of like they can always go back to, like there's

292
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: always like moments for that.

293
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you.

294
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: Could have done but like if you could have done it,

295
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: if I could have done it all over it, there

296
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: could There's somebody to be said about like making McKinley

297
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: moore of a revolving door of characters and.

298
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: Then like like have these guys like.

299
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: And so there. Yeah, I think there's something to be

300
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: said about that, because you know, some spinoffs outlive the originals.

301
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: Frazier MCIs is a spinoff. I just learned twenty seasons

302
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: spin off of Jaggon.

303
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: Oh, quinnin Artie would have been a great couple.

304
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: The chemistry was there post accident.

305
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: Should we listen to some of the voice notes?

306
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Oh yes, definitely, definitely.

307
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 4: Okay. My hot take is that Rachel Berry is one

308
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: of the most complex and most well written characters in

309
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 4: almost all of TV history. I think she's severely misunderstood.

310
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 4: I think that the hate that she gets from the

311
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 4: fandom is undeserved as well, because I just don't think

312
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: that people understand that she has her goals and she

313
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: had her moments, but that's because she was just so

314
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: ambitious and she is one of my favorite characters. And

315
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 4: I think people need to love more on Rachel.

316
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: I agree with that. Yeah, I agree.

317
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: I totally agreet.

318
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: Do people not like Rachel? I think there's a camp

319
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: out there that.

320
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 3: May Yeah, yeah, I think there's definitely a group of

321
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: a camp.

322
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: What it was because of how Rachel was, like you

323
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 2: needed that, Like, yeah, the blind ambition can come off

324
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: as all kinds of negative things, sure, but she's surrounded

325
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 2: by a good group of people. We all keep each

326
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: other in check. Like, she does grow, she does learn things,

327
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: She goes through a lot.

328
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: Oftentimes she will take accountability for some of the things

329
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: she does. Do you know what I mean?

330
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: It's like there's always like a deep, ambitious intention behind

331
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 3: what she's doing, and sometimes she's willing to.

332
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: There's some misunderstanding about who she is, and I think

333
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's a dress too. Through various characters,

334
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: I think a lot of Santana's obviously to boil for her,

335
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 2: but you know, like her, Yeah, her unlike if the

336
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: reason she is unlikable is is not just because she's

337
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 2: an annoying rat. It's like it's because she's like a

338
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: really an uncontrollable drive. I get it. I think you know,

339
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: you send someone to a crack house and people think

340
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: you're awful?

341
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: Right to be fair?

342
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: Well, let's do one more voice note.

343
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 5: Hi Jenna and Kevin. First off, you two are incredible.

344
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 5: Thank you for bringing so much joy with this podcast.

345
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 5: It is truly the best. Okay, my hot take. The

346
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 5: Glee fandom ruined Clan and the writers let it happen

347
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 5: hear me out curtain. Blaine's individual arcs as well as

348
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 5: their relationship were beautifully written until they got together, but

349
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 5: then the intense excitement of the fandom, combined with an

350
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 5: unprecedented level of audience engagement, led the writers to cater

351
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 5: too much to fan demands at the expense of both

352
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 5: the characters and the actors. As a diehard clean fan,

353
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 5: I remember feeling that shift as a series went on.

354
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 5: It felt like the writers were under pressure to keep

355
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 5: the cash cow going rather than staying true to organic storytelling.

356
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 5: Love Clean Forever. But yeah, that's my hot take.

357
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: Wow, I got chills. First of all, thank you, thank

358
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: you for enjoying the podcast. Yes. Second of all, Kelly,

359
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: you know, I think that in my I in my

360
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 2: like memory and my the way I look back at

361
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: Glee in that time, it's like Glee to me is

362
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: so so entwined with Twitter and social media. They really

363
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: like started at the same time and grew at the

364
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: same time and grew together. And and you know, I

365
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 2: think that there is some validity to the fact that

366
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: the creators of the show and the writers of the

367
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: show looked to the fandom a for where to go

368
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: and what to do, as well as to the cast

369
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: and to But so I think there's some validity to

370
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: that in general to say that maybe sometimes that shouldn't

371
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: have been factored in, But again, I think it was

372
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: so they're just so and there was just so many

373
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: we'd also didn't have the experience of how to like

374
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: disengage in social media that we do now because it's

375
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: happening at the same time. So it was exciting and

376
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: new to be able to, I think, interact in that

377
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: way because you could write something into the show and

378
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: then get an immediate feedback from it three weeks later online.

379
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: And also whereas before it's kind of like ratings were

380
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: the only this is when reviews it would happen once

381
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: in a while. Yeah, and this is where like the

382
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: shift in the industry started happening. I think it was

383
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 2: kind of even the beginning of like streaming in a

384
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: way because well, at least what's Kevin saying. It's like

385
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: before it was like you could only get the ratings

386
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: and whatever reviews that came out at the beginning of

387
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: the season. That's really the only way you had to

388
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: gauge it, and like whatever letters into the studio. But

389
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: it was like the feedback started getting so fast. Yes,

390
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 2: it was sort of it was sort of like it

391
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: seems silly to ignore that right to not like tap

392
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: into that and say, what do these people want to say?

393
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: Because I think having that now on a silver platter

394
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 2: was like, how could you not dig in, you know,

395
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: as the creators of this big juggernaut of a show.

396
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: So you know, I think well done to whoever that

397
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: was that sent it in, because that was a very

398
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: very well articulated argument. Yeah, and I think, yeah, I

399
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 2: think that they that definitely is a relationship that I

400
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: think fan service was a big factor in. Absolutely.

401
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: I mean Bride has said that before.

402
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, hot take season six newbies seem so much

403
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: more interesting and complex than the Season four newbies.

404
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: I would have loved a full season with them.

405
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: I'm now excited to watch season six. I know Season

406
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: six probably has a real fresh that we didn't realize

407
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: at the time. Maybe you're tired well and you know,

408
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: old and jaded and bitter. I think also it's hard

409
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: when you're like, I take a lot of I didn't

410
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: love the like the way the graduation was handled, the

411
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: staggered graduation thing, and like keeping someone and getting something new,

412
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: and like, you know, because and I feel like a

413
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 2: lot of the Season four newbies were like almost like

414
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: carbon copies of the characters that had left. They grew

415
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 2: into their own things, but they did start off. They

416
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: started as like kind of the broad Strokes replacements. And

417
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: so it's hard when you also still have those characters

418
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: on the showy f filling their own needs. It's kind

419
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: of hard to feel like these newbies are are bringing

420
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: something to the table. Whereas with season six, we have

421
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 2: like a whole new cast of newbies that had new archetypes.

422
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 2: It was new gold, and our characters were in different

423
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: positions right also still, yeah, they were in positions of

424
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: authority rather than like still on their own path of

425
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 2: you know.

426
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: What, Like, yeah, exactly, that's a good point.

427
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 2: I can see why. I think, Yeah, those those season

428
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: six mobies shine a little bit brighter, I.

429
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: Think, shine right like a diamond.

430
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: Thank you for writing in the pot takes.

431
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: This is we could do these a thousand times over

432
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: and we will. We're when you continue to do these heat, I.

433
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: Want to hear it. I love that Glee, the legacy

434
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: of Glee is like that people are still so so

435
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: impassioned about about the show and that.

436
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: Their opinion, why we do this.

437
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: It's just like it's so amazing to be a part

438
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: of it. And yeah, it's like it always rings true

439
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: for me. It's like being a part of something special,

440
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: it makes you special, and that's what Glee is for me.

441
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: And like, I love that the uh, the audience still

442
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: feels that way as well.
