Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin An iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 3: Welcome to you, and that's what you really miss podcast. Today,
Speaker 3: we have an extra special, special special guest. It's the
Speaker 3: one and only Heather Morris again and we're grateful that
Speaker 3: we get her again because she's so great.
Speaker 2: And as we've gotten to the end of season four,
Speaker 2: Heather Morris was pregnant and it's one of those great
Speaker 2: things where I love watching episodes or scenons of TV
Speaker 2: shows where you know one of the cast members is
Speaker 2: pregnant and how they like hide it, shoot it and
Speaker 2: hide it. Yeah, and all of those things, and we
Speaker 2: had our very own Heather was the first, but we
Speaker 2: never really talked to her about that experience and so
Speaker 2: really fascinating to learn so much. Here is just the
Speaker 2: best human Heather Morris.
Speaker 1: Hi, Hi, Hey, I love you, love you so much,
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm so excited to be here. I did
Speaker 1: do my homework only on knowing what kind of song
Speaker 1: people thought that I loved from the show, because every
Speaker 1: time I go an interview, you know, we're asked this
Speaker 1: and I never have an answer, and I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: the one homework you're going to do everything else.
Speaker 2: I stop, stop, just get it out of the way.
Speaker 2: What songs?
Speaker 1: What song did you love from the five hundred songs
Speaker 1: we did?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: How are you guys? How is everything good?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 2: We're busy, but we're good. Jenna's growing a human again.
Speaker 2: I know that things.
Speaker 1: It's so weird to ask to see your bump, but like,
Speaker 1: I would love to see it. Maybe I.
Speaker 2: Can show you. It's pretty big. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of pregnancy, Heather, you were pregnant in seasons
Speaker 3: four with your first baby.
Speaker 2: That was the first Glee baby.
Speaker 1: Yes, I hope nobody's hearing this for the first time.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: We from my memory, I remember you being very pregnant
Speaker 3: in the final episode of season four All or Nothing,
Speaker 3: when you're basically saying goodbye to us, you're gotten into
Speaker 3: mit and you're going I forgot how emotional that piece was.
Speaker 2: But also you were very.
Speaker 3: Pregnant doing that number on our you know, regionals on
Speaker 3: the Risers. But then you reminded me that you were
Speaker 3: also very pregnant. You were still pregnant like for many
Speaker 3: episodes before that, including Wanna Be and what was.
Speaker 2: The other one you had? Diva?
Speaker 3: So take us through that experience of being you were
Speaker 3: like the first one pregnant on our show for real,
Speaker 3: and also not being written into it, so you had
Speaker 3: to hide it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know for the longest time. I I obviously,
Speaker 1: like so many other first timers, I was like, there's
Speaker 1: definitely a chance, but like I had no idea until
Speaker 1: I knew, do you know what I mean? Like there's
Speaker 1: questionable nights where like I went out drinking and I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, like that shouldn't have happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like all mothers have that experience where they're
Speaker 1: like I went to a bachelorette and I didn't realize
Speaker 1: I was pregnant until I was like sick afterwards, exactly.
Speaker 2: I thought it was just a really bad hangover.
Speaker 1: I know, Yeah, I actually thought of alcohol was gross
Speaker 1: to me at that point, so that.
Speaker 2: I don't something wrong.
Speaker 1: Nobody knew and a while for a long time, and
Speaker 1: I specifically do have this memory though a Penny, our
Speaker 1: camera operator, she knew. She like magically knew at one
Speaker 1: point and I hadn't told anybody. I was probably four
Speaker 1: months pregnant, and you know how like you can't wait
Speaker 1: in between meals you have to be like constantly kind
Speaker 1: of snacking. You can't like have a giant meal and
Speaker 1: then take a break and then have a giant meal.
Speaker 1: It's like you get really bad ass like reflex.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I was still figuring that out. And I remember Penny,
Speaker 1: the camera operator, like passed me some almonds in the scene.
Speaker 1: I was doing a scene with cord Sam at the time,
Speaker 1: and she like handed me a thing of almonds, and
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what she said, but she was like,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure you're eating in between meals.
Speaker 5: I was like, pay my god, who else knew?
Speaker 1: Megan was there by my side a lot.
Speaker 2: Didn't I do a weird if I remember correctly. We
Speaker 2: were standing by Crafty something like that, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I just feel like somebody's pregnant. I was going around
Speaker 2: for like days and I was like, I don't know
Speaker 2: who it is. I didn't I did not know it
Speaker 2: was you, But for like a week I had a
Speaker 2: really strong feeling and I thought maybe it was Naya.
Speaker 2: I just didn't know who it was and they were
Speaker 2: standing next to me. No, I had no clue. I
Speaker 2: had no direction of who it was. But I would
Speaker 2: wake up in the morning, being like somebody's pregnant. Wow,
Speaker 2: and like I knew it wasn't Jenna, So like that
Speaker 2: narrowed that down. And you were standing right next to
Speaker 2: me and you had you looked at me like startled,
Speaker 2: and you're like, why do you think that? I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just have a feeling. And it
Speaker 2: wasn't until later that day I gave it away. I
Speaker 2: was like, wait a second, because that is not my
Speaker 2: place to call somebody else. But you didn't say, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was you.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I didn't cover it up better. But also,
Speaker 1: like you know, like four months is like.
Speaker 2: I just also, it's not something I would normally say,
Speaker 2: so I don't think you were also expecting me to
Speaker 2: be like, exactly, somebody's pregnant.
Speaker 1: But also, if you're watching this, we do have an audience,
Speaker 1: and if you don't know, Kevin is kind of a witch,
Speaker 1: so like of course you'd think that and say that out.
Speaker 3: Now and then I get it right, Yeah, Now, were
Speaker 3: you able to cover it up with wardrobe or did
Speaker 3: they have to know?
Speaker 2: At some point? I guess your clothes were getting had
Speaker 2: to be bigger.
Speaker 1: Remembering about this, as I recall, I don't remember.
Speaker 2: Them knowing until they had to.
Speaker 1: I think until they kind of had to, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I know, I had the conversation with Dante personally, and
Speaker 1: he was going through something similar at the time as well,
Speaker 1: and so he was really excited and intrigued about the
Speaker 1: prospect of me having a baby, and I was really
Speaker 1: excited and supportive of that, and so my memory is
Speaker 1: about but I think timeline wise, like, I think by
Speaker 1: four or five months was when I kind of had
Speaker 1: to like start telling people, yeah, because costumes were getting uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: Like the Cheerio your Cheerios curb, it's high waisted. There's
Speaker 3: no world in which that fit. After four to five months, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, yeah, I think it was by five months
Speaker 1: when I had to like start unzipping.
Speaker 3: I remember the unzipping in between it would just be
Speaker 3: folded over, Yes, yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'd have to unzip and fold over and like breathe.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 2: Now did you ask them?
Speaker 3: Uh, like obviously when you have the baby, they're like
Speaker 3: did they offer you time or do you did you
Speaker 3: say like I want out or like.
Speaker 2: What was that?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did approach me with is this something you want?
Speaker 1: Written in the show we are happy to write this
Speaker 1: in the show.
Speaker 3: Oh if not, you know, yeah, do you want to
Speaker 3: make an exit?
Speaker 1: And I me being who I am, and I'm like
Speaker 1: really private about certain things, Like I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't want I just don't want this to be a
Speaker 1: part of the storyline. I just also didn't really feel
Speaker 1: like it fit Brittana totally me, Like the Britney storyline
Speaker 1: or whatever they were going to do with Brittana, like,
Speaker 1: none of that fit to me. Yeah, and so I
Speaker 1: just didn't see it making sense. They already had the
Speaker 1: pregnant storyline with Quinn. So yeah, they came to me
Speaker 1: and they were like, do you want this? And I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think so, but I think by
Speaker 1: the time I'm starting to show, I probably you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's time to exit.
Speaker 3: And was it like did you think that was it
Speaker 3: for you? Like done done? Or were they like, you
Speaker 3: can come back when you're ready.
Speaker 2: Do you remember?
Speaker 1: Yes? They yeah, they said you can come back when
Speaker 1: you're ready.
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice, that's fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. The whole experience I felt like
Speaker 1: was super great. There wasn't like a a time to
Speaker 1: when you need to be back.
Speaker 2: And that's great.
Speaker 1: That's actually really good, Like that's kind of unheard of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I also feel like, you know, some of
Speaker 2: the other things where there we were young, a lot
Speaker 2: of personalities people wanted to get out for certain things.
Speaker 2: Having a child is like a real thing. It's not
Speaker 2: the same as like asking for an out to do
Speaker 2: a movie and people would get you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's very good to hear that when it came
Speaker 2: to like a really life changing and important thing, that
Speaker 2: you were allowed the space and time to decide what
Speaker 2: route you wanted to take.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I feel like that's so important and so special
Speaker 1: that they did that for me. Yeah, And I think
Speaker 1: had they all not been kind of going through their
Speaker 1: own same thing, Like I know, Ryan had just had
Speaker 1: two kids previously, Brad had children already, but like, I
Speaker 1: think they were empathetic to that. Yeah, for sure, it's
Speaker 1: super lucky that they let me do that.
Speaker 3: None of us really knew what that looked like because
Speaker 3: had done it yet.
Speaker 1: So I was just a young chicken. Is such a
Speaker 1: young spring chicken.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 3: You can kind of see the bump in some scenes
Speaker 3: like towards the end of four that we're watching and
Speaker 3: we're like, maybe it's just because we know that you
Speaker 3: are pregnant, like when we're rewatching it.
Speaker 1: Now, when did you guys find out when I made
Speaker 1: an announcement?
Speaker 3: Oh god, I think it was circling. I think the
Speaker 3: rumor was circling for a little bit, okay, prior to
Speaker 3: you announcing, but nothing was confirmed, right.
Speaker 2: I think we probably amongst ourselves, like the innermost circle,
Speaker 2: we probably all hurt, like maybe started to figure it out.
Speaker 2: But it's one of those things like we're not going
Speaker 2: to go blow out of your.
Speaker 1: Spot, Like, give me Heather, can we talk about it?
Speaker 2: She'll tell us when she's ready.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are such good friends.
Speaker 2: And then but what's gonna happen? Well, the schedule is
Speaker 2: if you're in peak form, is already crazy. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you're also your work ethic and we've talked about this
Speaker 2: on this podcast before. It was like far and away
Speaker 2: superior to most of ours, Like you came in like
Speaker 2: that dancer life. The schedule is absolutely insane, right, and
Speaker 2: I think you are used to putting up with a
Speaker 2: lot mentally physically, and so was there a point where
Speaker 2: it did feel like, Okay, I'm growing a human and
Speaker 2: this feels a little crazy. I'm a little tired. I
Speaker 2: don't want to be in dance rehearsal or these fifteen
Speaker 2: hour days feel a little excessive at this point because
Speaker 2: right before the season finale, you're gone for an episode,
Speaker 2: and so we were wondering, like, I wonder if they
Speaker 2: just gave her that off just to give her some time,
Speaker 2: maybe just doctor's appointments, whatever it might be. But like,
Speaker 2: did it feel that all of that sort of compound
Speaker 2: to be like I need this break to come because
Speaker 2: my body.
Speaker 1: Well, there's something to be said about like the age
Speaker 1: that I was at. I don't think I was emotionally
Speaker 1: mature at that point to know like, Okay, Heather, it's time.
Speaker 1: Because I got pregnant pretty young, and I was a surprise,
Speaker 1: Like Taylor and I were not sitting there planning to
Speaker 1: at babies. So I wasn't going like when's my ovulating schedule?
Speaker 1: And then like what are the steps I need to
Speaker 1: take during my pregnancy? It was all like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm pregnant. Of course, like let's do this, Let's get
Speaker 1: the prenatals going, let's get my doctor's appointments, what's my
Speaker 1: birth journey? Going to be like all that was really
Speaker 1: important to me. Yeah, so I think I was more
Speaker 1: like blindsided by like, yeah, you don't know, that's the tiredness.
Speaker 1: I know, like I was exhausted and I would be
Speaker 1: like falling asleep in the middle of like in between scenes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh so there's that. And then I was texting Jenna
Speaker 1: about I had a during the Diva episode when we
Speaker 1: were doing the Diva song.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: God, I don't even know if anybody found out. Maybe
Speaker 1: you did found out about this, but I actually locked
Speaker 1: myself in my trailer and I had a full mental breakdown.
Speaker 1: I was like bawling in my big pink dress, like falling.
Speaker 1: I was like I can't do like the full thing.
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, people didn't know then because you also
Speaker 2: the last person that you would ever expect to do that.
Speaker 1: Exactly full example of hormones, Like I don't break down
Speaker 1: and cry ever, right, And I remember Megan, she had
Speaker 1: to have known at that point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody, she doesn't need to be told, she just knows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, She's like the most intuitive person, so she had
Speaker 1: to have known because she was like soothing me.
Speaker 3: Mmm wow, Yeah, I remember those big numbers like Diva
Speaker 3: like the costumes alone, and it's a long day and
Speaker 3: we're crawling on a catwalk and like you we had
Speaker 3: mentioned wanna be of like costumes and kicking and dancing,
Speaker 3: and like, well, there's.
Speaker 1: Little things that you're not thinking about. It's like the smoke, Like,
Speaker 1: because they want ambiance in a scene, there's smoke going on,
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, is this okay? Excuse me? Do
Speaker 1: you think we could get less smoke?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And then you know, like years before that, I'm watching
Speaker 1: other actors being like it's too much smoke. I don't
Speaker 1: like it, and I'm like, oh, they're making a big
Speaker 1: deal out of anything, but that you're in it, and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh wow, okay, right.
Speaker 3: No. I know when I was doing Drag Race and
Speaker 3: I was pregnant and nobody knew except for Kevin on set,
Speaker 3: but I had to tell the makeup and hair obviously
Speaker 3: because it's drag makeup, like not to use like alcohol
Speaker 3: these stuff. Because it was my first pregnancy, I didn't
Speaker 3: know if that stuff was going to affect you know,
Speaker 3: the baby or me, and so I had to ask
Speaker 3: them to like adjust like the wig gl and the
Speaker 3: makeup and the removal and all bad stuff, and it
Speaker 3: was just like people thought I was and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. I just can't put this on my
Speaker 3: face right now.
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't want to absorb that. I don't
Speaker 1: want my body to observe that.
Speaker 2: I will say, having witnessed both of you and work
Speaker 2: environments pregnant for the first time, neither of you could
Speaker 2: ever be accused of being a diva because there's obviously
Speaker 2: like a big difference between somebody just being difficult and
Speaker 2: the approach of like you said, can we just get
Speaker 2: less smoke?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: But you have like real health concerns and they might
Speaker 2: have real health concerns, and it's like the way you
Speaker 2: ask those things. Also you have history with these people.
Speaker 2: It makes a huge difference. And the two of you,
Speaker 2: the way you handle those situations is such a lesson
Speaker 2: for the rest of people like me who are watching
Speaker 2: being like I have no idea how I would handle
Speaker 2: that situation, like I don't know how they're.
Speaker 1: Doing this, and oh you would be fine.
Speaker 2: But you both like to set I think, especially like Heather,
Speaker 2: you were the first one, like Jenna, saw you in
Speaker 2: a work environment be pregnant for the first time, and
Speaker 2: then like and other people got pregnant, and so you
Speaker 2: sort of had to carve that out because there was
Speaker 2: no example for us to see that, right, right, And
Speaker 2: so it's crazy learn by doing it. And I think luckily,
Speaker 2: like as a team, you were the first one to
Speaker 2: do it, because you are so good at that. You're
Speaker 2: like graceful in that or like kind, like you're always
Speaker 2: kind through even if you're asking for less smoke, you're
Speaker 2: still really nice about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh for sure, Yeah, oh for sure. And also
Speaker 1: like we're polite society or raising a polite society.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like our cruise, our family.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I would never be somebody to raise a
Speaker 1: hard flag.
Speaker 3: No loudly, no, that would never.
Speaker 2: I would never put that only let's say yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah for sure. So we just watched the season finale
Speaker 2: All or Nothing, and I love this storyline of you
Speaker 2: going to MIT. You failed the test at MIT, but
Speaker 2: then you have like a beautiful mind moment on the
Speaker 2: back of this paper, or you've written all these numbers
Speaker 2: which I forgot about specifically, like scantron and cran I remember,
Speaker 2: and then them unlocking this code and you're brilliant and
Speaker 2: then you come into the choir room and you're just
Speaker 2: like it's me, I'm all or nothing, like you either
Speaker 2: I'm doing everything or not. But that being said, you
Speaker 2: had like some of your greatest work in that episode,
Speaker 2: and like Jenna said earlier, forgot some of these like
Speaker 2: heavier emotional moments towards the end of the episode, especially
Speaker 2: yeah as always between you and Naya, like just the
Speaker 2: most incredible performances and obviously knowing like you don't know
Speaker 2: when you're coming back to the show or in what capacity,
Speaker 2: Like what that looks like? What was that like?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Because watching it, I felt all of that. Those are
Speaker 2: the things I was thinking, Yeah, doing that, like, what
Speaker 2: was that like? Yeah?
Speaker 4: In it?
Speaker 1: Well, I I don't know, Jenna, you've ever gone to
Speaker 1: an audition or been to an audition where you like
Speaker 1: just got your period and it's an emotional audition and
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm gonna fucking nail this, Like yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: already an emotional wreck. It's not hard to get here,
Speaker 1: Like it's so easy to get here. Yeah, So I
Speaker 1: knew that at that point. I was like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to get there every time
Speaker 1: no matter what, because I was already emotional, but the
Speaker 1: way that the writers worked was they wrote it perfectly
Speaker 1: and so eloquently, so it just felt like I was
Speaker 1: talking to my best friends right and about my experience
Speaker 1: at that time, so like it wasn't even it just
Speaker 1: felt like it was me talking.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I think that beautiful mix of everything like kind
Speaker 1: of intertwined was why I was able to perform the
Speaker 1: way I performed and not feel like it was a
Speaker 1: performative piece. That it just felt like an extension of me,
Speaker 1: which is always what you wanted as an actor, you know, Like,
Speaker 1: but we had had four years of connection at that point,
Speaker 1: so like my storylines were all connected, which was great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And Brittany was like crazy but or like just
Speaker 3: so out there sometimes, but yet this was so grounded,
Speaker 3: this part of Brittany that we saw in this episode
Speaker 3: also while like losing it but and then also pregnant.
Speaker 3: I just kept watching you in this scene, being like,
Speaker 3: she's so pregnant and she's so hormonal, and we're all
Speaker 3: crying and we're saying goodbye to her, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I don't know how she controlled herself, because if I
Speaker 3: cry right now, it's it's uncontrolled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. That's true. It's pretty uncontrollable.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it was so beautiful. And the way you
Speaker 2: it's like a masterclass in the real grounded drama of it.
Speaker 2: And then you're saying all these hilarious lines in the
Speaker 2: middle of it, going through each character, so like you
Speaker 2: have like which are not the easiest things to memorize,
Speaker 2: and you have like these separate things for each character,
Speaker 2: and you're also weaving in the emotional.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, this is wild, like how is
Speaker 1: she doing all this? But can I also say, like,
Speaker 1: you guys are such wonderful scene partners as a group,
Speaker 1: You guys were always present. You never like screwed up
Speaker 1: takes for anybody. So it's not like you're on the
Speaker 1: other side like texting you were never You guys were
Speaker 1: never those scene partners. I'm saying as a whole, like
Speaker 1: in the Glee room or privately, like if we had
Speaker 1: a scene together, it's always professional. So like aside from
Speaker 1: what we have together our beautiful blonde bond on Glee,
Speaker 1: but like on in scenes too, it's like you guys
Speaker 1: were so great to be next to. And then like
Speaker 1: when scenes would cut like that one you guys would
Speaker 1: be congratulatory and like, Tom, great I'm doing and so
Speaker 1: that speaks to like our cute baby relationship.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you're also I think so proud of
Speaker 2: you for like by that point you could see like
Speaker 2: that they didn't even try to feel like that episode
Speaker 2: that much hide that you were pregnant. Like the first
Speaker 2: shot of you at McKinley is like a white shirt,
Speaker 2: so you could fully see all of you and like, yeah,
Speaker 2: she's just pregnant in this she's whatever, like she's she
Speaker 2: gave this speech, she's performed, like there was regionals, everything happened,
Speaker 2: and it was just the moment of like damn, she's powerful.
Speaker 1: Like wow, thanks guy.
Speaker 3: I remember shooting that last the All or Nothing.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: The icon of pop when we were doing and like
Speaker 3: in between like rubbing your rubbing your back, Oh of course.
Speaker 2: I just am.
Speaker 3: I'm like I can't even imagine doing that in heels
Speaker 3: like that. Maybe my first pregnancy and not my second,
Speaker 3: but the first one is still so hard and it's
Speaker 3: so hot.
Speaker 2: Were yeah, but I was only I.
Speaker 3: Was much earlier in my pregnancy at that point, it
Speaker 3: was still hard, but you were you were pretty close
Speaker 3: at that point or you were on your way, like.
Speaker 2: You could see the bomp. We could. Your body's the
Speaker 2: relaxing is there? Your body is like.
Speaker 1: I was just trying to exercise my pelvic floor, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I just needed to release that
Speaker 1: pelvic floor.
Speaker 3: He stayed active, you know, that's all they ask for you,
Speaker 3: that's all you need.
Speaker 2: Did it? You did it.
Speaker 1: I should have stayed longer, man. You know because my
Speaker 1: second pregnancy, I was like super active all the way
Speaker 1: up until I gave birth, and it made me so strong,
Speaker 1: whereas like my first one, I was like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna relax and I'm gonna do nothing and I'm going
Speaker 1: to enjoy this moment, and then birth time I.
Speaker 4: Was like hard.
Speaker 3: You did a lot with Cordy this season, too, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I did. It was so nice. What was it like
Speaker 3: working with him so much? Oh he's so so sweet,
Speaker 3: He's so cute.
Speaker 1: I mean, I love him, like he's just this sweet
Speaker 1: little muffin with the best heart and the best intention.
Speaker 3: You guys are like really good chemistry on screen.
Speaker 1: Oh great chemistry. It took me. It took me a
Speaker 1: long time to warm up to cord.
Speaker 2: I understand, I understand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I didn't grow up with brothers, and I
Speaker 1: only nderstand it now because I have boys, but like
Speaker 1: the sweet, dopey love of a boy, Like he just
Speaker 1: exudes that like dopey, sweet, cute, little, you know, golden
Speaker 1: Retriever vibes. And at first I was like what yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think it was season three I really warmed
Speaker 1: up to Chord and just kind of like let it
Speaker 1: go and was like he's just existing, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's consistent, you know exactly who he is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you guys got their way sooner
Speaker 1: than I did, Like I think I held onto it
Speaker 1: for way too long, and then finally when I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: he's just chilling.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it was. Life was so much easier, I
Speaker 2: think because you're also and like you have people coming
Speaker 2: onto the show you don't know, like are they going
Speaker 2: to be around a long time? You also have like
Speaker 2: protect your energy because they're long days, and so I
Speaker 2: feel like it's understandable to be little reserved and like
Speaker 2: I don't know this person, like after something, are they
Speaker 2: actually nice?
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And then
Speaker 1: you know, when we got to the scene work and
Speaker 1: we got to like the storylines. That was really fun
Speaker 1: and cute, and they made it simple and we're both
Speaker 1: aquarians and we both kind of like things are just
Speaker 1: easy to you know, be simple, and like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just felt like our cover, if that makes any sense,
Speaker 1: but our conversation, especially on camera, it just felt like
Speaker 1: two aquarians just floating.
Speaker 2: It didn't feel like you guys were almost yeah, like
Speaker 2: syncd up in that way. It was like when you
Speaker 2: guys had scenes together, it's like, oh, they're they're a
Speaker 2: comedic duo. Like send them on tour like this all works.
Speaker 2: Them on tour, speak the same language, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's so great.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: That was a good.
Speaker 1: If the fans hated it, I'm so sorry. It was
Speaker 1: a good I thought it was a great.
Speaker 3: Well any fans who don't love it because of Britanna obviously,
Speaker 3: but I mean I think it was a really nice
Speaker 3: break from you guys, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean. The character like it wasn't some
Speaker 2: like toxic content relationship. It was a nice thing. Oh
Speaker 2: and in this last episode where Sam calls Santana by
Speaker 2: the way to like like get her help, and then
Speaker 2: we have the second episode of Fondu for two in
Speaker 2: one episod, which is also a dream. Oh wait, can
Speaker 2: we talk about something?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, I love Tangent.
Speaker 2: I think we need to bring back Fondu for two.
Speaker 3: It's like a digital short show.
Speaker 2: In some capacity, Like I agree, like hut.
Speaker 1: Fans bring it up so much.
Speaker 2: So, and I think when the show was on, I
Speaker 2: didn't understand it. I will calm myself out. I didn't
Speaker 2: really get it. I was like, this is weird, Like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's so good.
Speaker 1: It was like this weird side set. Nobody really visited it,
Speaker 1: and when you did, it was like so fast because
Speaker 1: it wasn't a scene. It was just like the one
Speaker 1: camera because it was on my camera. It felt weird
Speaker 1: to film. Yeah, you're right, but.
Speaker 2: I think you need to bring it back. We need
Speaker 2: to like talk to Ryan and I said that was
Speaker 2: like a little talk.
Speaker 1: Show because like a YouTube Fondue for two.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: I would totally love this. I would do it, and
Speaker 1: I've wanted to for so long because the fans they
Speaker 1: text me and send me messages all the time like
Speaker 1: bring back Fondue for two, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: how do I not get sued?
Speaker 2: That's something that could live on its own. It's not
Speaker 2: a reboot, and it's also just this really delicious thing. Guys.
Speaker 1: I have so many ideas for it, like we could
Speaker 1: we could make books. There's children's books for fond We.
Speaker 2: Got to talk about it. We got to talk about it.
Speaker 2: We got to get Ian and Brad and Ryan on
Speaker 2: the phone and figure this out.
Speaker 1: I'm down.
Speaker 3: Also, Sam and Brittany singing to Lord Tummington more than
Speaker 3: we're it's.
Speaker 2: On the couch.
Speaker 3: It's it's actually a highlight of the series for me.
Speaker 3: It's a highlight. I loved Tumington, I love Brittany and Sam,
Speaker 3: so it's it's a real moment for me with the.
Speaker 1: Remember the female cat, sorry to change something to cut
Speaker 1: you off, but the female cat and Sam had to
Speaker 1: stuff it in a bag. Yes, do you guys remember this?
Speaker 1: You may have seen this. But Sam, Sam has to
Speaker 1: stuff it in the bag. And we did that only
Speaker 1: a couple of times, because I think it made it
Speaker 1: on the scene where the cat's like, yeah, soul pissed.
Speaker 2: Cats were there for.
Speaker 3: Oh, I love and Tummington never wanted to be there,
Speaker 3: like tell me he would like run out of the
Speaker 3: room when we defined out for remember Tummington like running.
Speaker 3: We were like, wait, we need we need Tummington back.
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite for two?
Speaker 1: Oh? I really like the Fondue for two that that
Speaker 1: you and Amber were in and we're kind of like
Speaker 1: the rumor was it the Rumors episode?
Speaker 2: Or it was so funny? Yeah? I think so, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right. Guilty Pleasures us one of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Amber's talking about the hot cheese and that's
Speaker 1: a It's a really funny thing to me.
Speaker 3: And it was early in Fondue for two. It was
Speaker 3: one of the earlier ones, so it's like one of
Speaker 3: your first ones. So it's ridiculous. I feel honored that
Speaker 3: I got to be in Vondu two.
Speaker 2: I feel I know now I'm pissed. You need to
Speaker 2: ring back so I can be in one.
Speaker 1: I'm writing this note down go fund me.
Speaker 3: Well, we didn't want to keep you too much longer,
Speaker 3: but this thanks for coming in to talk about your
Speaker 3: the pregnancy and season four, and we're just sad to
Speaker 3: see Brittany go for a short while.
Speaker 2: We obviously know Brittany will be back.
Speaker 3: But it seems pretty final right now. So it's very strange.
Speaker 1: Did fail final When we were doing it right, it
Speaker 1: felt like coming back.
Speaker 2: Did you know, like, did you know when like you
Speaker 2: would come back. Was there any sort of plan or
Speaker 2: just whenever?
Speaker 1: There was not a pritan wow, crazy, there was not
Speaker 1: a plan. I know, I got invited back for the
Speaker 1: Cory episode and I just wasn't quite mentally ready to
Speaker 1: do that. And I don't, like, I don't have regrets
Speaker 1: about it, but I always you.
Speaker 2: Made the right choice.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, and I've listened. I listened to
Speaker 1: Ryan's interview about how he regrets that decision. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: just didn't feel right to me, and I'm glad I
Speaker 1: listened to that intuition. But I was already like in
Speaker 1: a I was already taking care of a child and
Speaker 1: that was already emotional and different, and so I just
Speaker 1: wasn't right.
Speaker 3: And we saw you in the like behind the scenes
Speaker 3: all the time. That was the thing, Like it felt
Speaker 3: like I had to separate because I was like, oh, Heather,
Speaker 3: Brittany wasn't back, but Heather was there the whole time,
Speaker 3: you know, like we saw you all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So there was no there was no plan.
Speaker 1: I didn't know when I was coming back, and so
Speaker 1: I was kind of just like waiting and and I
Speaker 1: think they were also like waiting on me, which like
Speaker 1: how lucky am I?
Speaker 3: That's yeah, great enough to be in. Well, we love
Speaker 3: you and grate again.
Speaker 1: Well, you guys are so wonderful. I love you so
Speaker 1: much always.
Speaker 2: Thanks for like coming on again like this year, the
Speaker 2: best for doing this bye. I love her, She's the best.
Speaker 2: And also having just watched that episode and then seeing her,
Speaker 2: I feel extra emotional.
Speaker 3: I know it was really I wasn't expecting that, and
Speaker 3: I didn't remember until I watched it.
Speaker 2: And I also think having then gone through it ourselves
Speaker 2: later in terms of leaving the show, because obviously at
Speaker 2: that point we hadn't done that, it was like, oh shit,
Speaker 2: we're seeing our friend who didn't know when she'd be back,
Speaker 2: sort of go through what we were going to go
Speaker 2: through in a couple of years exactly. It's very very emotional.
Speaker 5: Yeah, love her, love her, Thanks Heather, and thanks for
Speaker 5: coming on social last minute, so last minute we were
Speaker 5: like literally like, hey, can you come on and talk
Speaker 5: about your pregnancy?
Speaker 2: She just tutes us. She does text us because she
Speaker 2: said she was prepared to answer what her favorite numbers were,
Speaker 2: and we never got to it.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to share them. She's run the world. Wow,
Speaker 3: that is top.
Speaker 2: It was so good are you kidding me? Her performance
Speaker 2: like around the school, smooth criminal, Smooth Criminal, I think
Speaker 2: if you hold the audience, that is top.
Speaker 3: Yes, and Landside of course, which also I think would
Speaker 3: have been top.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, thank you, Himo. We love you so much.
Speaker 2: And I just think it's remarkable to hear going through
Speaker 2: that schedule and being pregnant for the first time and
Speaker 2: how all that was handled and done. It's just remarkable.
Speaker 3: She handles it with grace. Yes, she handled it with grace.
Speaker 3: And that's what you really missed.
