Here we are getting into 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.880 one of our most talked about episodes amongst each other. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.440 Do you care to elaborate on that? Kevin um, this 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:39.200 wasn't necessarily our favorite episode, but you brought up a 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.600 good point, which was watching it again, how did you feel? Yeah, 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.560 this week is Acafellas, right, and you're coming off of 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.160 the high of the Pilot and Showman's, which are two 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.840 excellent episodes. As Chris said, he likes Showman's more than 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.560 the pilot, so it was up there. So then you 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:01.280 come you get to Acafellas and you're like wow. And 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.160 that's the way I had it in my mind, But 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:09.239 watching it this morning, I had a very different feeling. Well, 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:14.160 I don't love the actual storyline of of the Aqua Fellas. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:20.440 The other parts of this are um so great and 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.799 it's like the beginning of Kirk coming out and it's 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.160 the beginning of you know, Sue and the Cheerio is 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.160 kind of like infiltrating the Gale Club, And so I 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.840 felt very differently than I thought I would after watching 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.680 this whole episode. Do you think it's because we're older 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.919 now and I remember back then like this episode is 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.880 all about the adults. I do remember that as well, 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.520 Like we would watch some of the episodes and we'd 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.320 be like, yeah, get to our part. Yeah, maybe that's 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:52.239 what it is. We appreciate a more well rounded story. Yeah, 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.400 before we get into it, let's talk about the state 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.840 of the world when this episode aired. So this episode 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:02.320 aired on September six nine. I think we were all 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.800 in Australia for the first time. We flew to Australia. 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:11.400 We had two big um press events. Um it was 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.280 in Sney when Sydney went in Melbourne and it was 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:16.960 the first time I ever went to a strip club. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.280 Remember that we pay We sang karaoke. I don't remember that, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.120 but I do remember karaoke. Oh yeah, we went. We 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.320 we landed in Melbourne, Australia and went straight to a 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.200 strip club. Did I go with you? I think so. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.160 It was very early, the sun was still up, that's right. 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.040 We went out. It was raining. We got on the 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.560 train um to get down somewhere and there was a 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.120 big newspaper with Glee on the coffins. We were like 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.760 that it was very weird, but really really cool. It 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.320 was our first trip out of the country for the show, 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:56.200 and the reception was very very warm, I mean why 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.120 pretty unbelievable. So in both cities, Sydney and Melbourn, and 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.080 we went to these events and again it's like two 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.839 episodes in and we're like, oh, you know, we would 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:11.360 be some signing, some autographs, meeting some fans. Thousands of 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:16.120 kids showed up, thousands dressed like us, dressed in school uniforms. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.000 It was um and it wasn't It was like jarring 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.200 and shocking. I think to us it was also because 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.400 you were like, why you know it was it was 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.839 like the first taste I think, and it wasn't in 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.960 our on our terps. So it was really um. It 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.919 felt different and it was sort of the first time, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.880 for lack of a better word, that we were treated 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.040 or experience things. I guess for me that felt like 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:50.720 we were sort of becoming known where we I don't 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.560 know when we got to do things they when we 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.080 got to do the Sydney Harbor Bridge climb, Like we 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.919 autographed things and they put on a wall with all 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.120 these other famous people were still up on that wall, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:00.719 by the way. So if you to Sydney and you 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.320 go do the bridge climb, um our photo is there? 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:10.159 Fun fact? Are you going to say it? We were 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.760 out the night before till god knows when the morning, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:21.400 and um, I we all were partying like crazy and 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.279 the next morning we get to the bridge climb or 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.360 we're in the I'm in the hotel room getting ready 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.960 and we get a call from the pr from Fox. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.799 They're like, hey, you guys, just you know, like excited 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.560 for the bridge climb. Just want to let you know. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.680 You get there, you sign your release forms and then 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.360 you take breathalyzer test and you go up and I'm like, 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:47.039 breathalyzer test. We um. I text Kevin. I'm like, what 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.880 the hell we do? I think I'm still drunk. Yeah, 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.000 we were all definitely still drunk wasted. And then we 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.320 were looking at tips on how to shoved peanut butter 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.440 hash browns what I read, but I know I didn't either. 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.839 We tried to find peanut butter but we couldn't and 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.160 then we ordered I remember we ordered like room services 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.600 browns and shoved hash browns down our throats hoping that 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.720 like it would soak up the rest of the alcohol. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.400 So these photos of us were actually like I had 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.520 my sunglasses on, it was the sun, and it was 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.800 also because I was wildly hungover. We had we had 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.560 had a great night that we were really you know, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:27.080 kids living it up like. It was definitely that sort 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.240 of trip. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and taking care of pretty well. 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:36.240 We also shout out to the Fox International people like 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.880 Pam Jackson, what incredible correct, We'll we'll have to talk 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.880 to Pam at some point, but she um would take 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.480 us on these trips. I don't know how she did it, 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.640 because we were all over the place and crazy and 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.520 going out and she had to make sure that we 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.839 were on time and doing you know, the professional things 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.440 we were obligated to do, but while also enjoying our downtime. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:04.360 It's noble and Pam Jackson is just a ray of sunshine, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.480 and she would. She took Jen and I many places 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.360 around the world after that, and so I feel very 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.960 very thankful. Stories we'll share those threads, Okay, so um, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.520 we we digressed quite a bit back to what's happen 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.760 because that trip was monumental for us. It was it 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.160 was it was the number one song in the country. 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.760 Was I got a feeling by the Black Eyed Peas 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.680 hands down sends memory. I can hear that song in 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.800 my bones. I mean, like we've said it before and 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.160 we'll say it again, I'm sure. But Black Eyed Peas, 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.960 because this album was out and these songs are out 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.400 at that time, and we were coming up at the 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:48.240 same time, we were doing everything together basically, every award show, 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.520 every appearance, even trips we took. They were always there 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.280 for it. Yep, yeah, yeah, we're on the same plane 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:59.720 with them, you guys again. Um. It was also when 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.520 this aired. Um, it was the week of the Emmys, 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.240 but it was too early for us to be nominated 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:18.680 for anything. We were only airing our third episode. Let's 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.239 get into the episode yet, Yeah, let's do it. Okay, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.280 So Kevin, I think Kevin and I were chatting and 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.040 I like to try we'd like to try something with 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:33.440 you guys. We'd like to try a recap format and 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.240 and you can tell us if you hate it, but 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.600 I think we should try this. I mean, when you 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.959 have these hour long shows are structured into three acts, 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.800 but also three main storylines. Do you have your A 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.640 storyline your B storyline and you see storyline and sort 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.719 of order of importance or screen time is A, B 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:54.080 and C um they're tiered in that way. So we 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.080 thought we maybe we talked about it in that way 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.520 because there are so many of us in every single 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.880 episode that to talk about the main plot points of 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.679 some of these A, B and C storylines and go 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.760 at it like that and then give you some of 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.360 our bts and memories because I think that's more fun 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.040 to talk about anyway. All right, so let's try it, 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:20.040 um all right? So in Aca fellas um in the 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:24.880 A storyline, Will is inspired, if you will, by his 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:29.240 failure to um go after his dreams as a performer. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.680 As Quinn said, like did you ever audition after like 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.760 after school or like perform or did you even try? 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:40.280 Which like that Delirie was great. Um. So Will's parents 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:44.080 are also in town, which Victor Garber and Deborah Monk 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.240 like this is the beginning of like the big names, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.559 you know, movie stars, TV stars where you're like, oh wow, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.320 that's cool. Also someone so didn't see them, you didn't 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.679 get to work exactly. And also someone that like on 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.720 the show. We weren't privy to this knowledge or these 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.400 conversations that these people were going to be coming on 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.480 the show, So it was shocking to us to get 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.920 to work and you see their name on a call sheet, 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:11.679 like Victor Garber, what is he doing here? Mr Andrews. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.880 Mr Andrews. And then Debora Monk, who also like another 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:22.520 like queen of comedy, who also is forever embedded in 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:28.040 my mind as um uh the mother in Center Stage. 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:34.040 That's right, I don't ever forget it. Obviously an iconic movie. Well, 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.880 they are encouraging MAT's We're sorry Mr Show's behavior, um 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.800 because like by saying how proud they are and he 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:46.560 should go after what he wants and um so Mr 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:52.120 Shoe ends up starting a boy band. Yes, And I 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.079 feel like this might have been inspired by the fact 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:56.800 that all that was talked about in the press for 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.280 a minute was that Matt was previously in a boy band. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.199 That's right, you think that's right? I think so. And 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:02.920 I also think it was a really good way for 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.720 us to get some, like I said, like adult screen time, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.280 to see some of these adult characters that we haven't 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.040 seen that much of in the first two episodes and 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.599 see their talents and ability to power a bamboo and 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:20.600 tanaka Will Schuster And also who John play was a 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.719 guest star, John Lloyd Young, who was dating Lea at 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.680 the time. It's not the reason he got on the show. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.440 I mean he was a Tony Award winning um actor 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.520 in a hit Broadway musical. He just happened to also 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:37.200 be Leah's boyfriend at the time. So and around us Yeah, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.920 um so John John Lloyd Young in there as well. 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:46.199 Um so the Acapollas do so well. Mr Print Principal 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.280 Figgins sees their performance at that like dive bar where 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:56.760 Emma Pillsbury is just swaring living and they perform at 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.760 the PTA event where the one and only Josh Groban 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.920 is going to come and um that's thanks to Sandy Ryerson. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.400 I mean also, I also love that in the middle 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.160 of this storyline that the boy band sort of starts 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.160 to break apart, where you have the Howard bambooze that 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.360 was never my dream. Cantonaka is the pressure is on, 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.240 yeah and saying you know, like this really gets my 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:26.480 girlfriend going in the in the bedroom. And that's that's 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.280 kind of like the why I think his motivation for 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.679 hanging on to this this boy band if you will, yeah, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.959 I mean, and to keep it together. They recruit Finton 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.680 and Puck to be in this thing, and so then 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.360 also it's like how did they get away with They 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.640 performed at the PTA meeting, which is like in a 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.800 full auditorium with full lighting and stage design. Um, and 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.880 students and teachers are performing. I want to sex you up. Yeah, 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.120 I don't know, you know, it's a different time. I 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:02.160 don't know. I remember them um filming this and um, 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.880 were you there, Kevin, I don't have any memory of 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.000 this note I don't see. I don't think you were then. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.559 I think it was mainly the girls and um, I 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.280 do remember Cris being there, but I don't remember they 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:18.480 kept the straight straight boys away. Um no, because because 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.840 Puck and Finn were in the performance. That's right, I 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.199 was the only one not there, which we have to 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.400 talk about. Why you also didn't visit with local adrenal 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.680 and artist just like missing from this episode. But um, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.760 we were there in law Manhattan Beach. We shot this 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.800 where the p t A performance was and I remember 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.280 hearing the music and them and we didn't get to 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.240 see them. Re her sisters all at all, so we 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.480 didn't really get to see them performed. But I remember 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.480 meeting Josh Groban, um, being very star struck. I was 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.240 very jealous about that. I listened to his music all 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:57.040 throughout high school. I mean just we sang you raised 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.400 me up at my high school graduation. Know he was 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.760 doing the song for the Polar Express. Josh Grobn was gigantic. 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:08.000 He was easily selling four or five million albums per album, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:13.760 just rolling them out, like come on, jeez. And then 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.280 you know we have finite high school boys performing with 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:23.960 teachers in a very inappropriate PTA performance. Um. And also 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:31.120 then Josh Grobin comes in with a wonderful, wonderful subplot 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.360 of Sandy Ryerson's promise. You know, Josh Groban to be 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.600 there because their pen pals, but Josh Grobin actually is 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:42.480 serving him some papers and also asking him to stop 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.480 stalking a restraining order, and it's I do love how 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:50.239 everyone is there and everyone is so awkward and uncomfortable, 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.480 and even Victor Garber, you know, at the end, which 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:58.200 is really sweet scene with Matt about he inspired me 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.400 to go back to school and like, I'm sorry about 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.240 Josh Cobn. I do just how weird Josh Groban playing 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.600 himself on it. Fun fact, he said he was in 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.960 Ohio because he was inducting Run Teams into the Rock 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.280 and Roll Hall of Fame. He actually didn't in real life, 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.360 but Run Teams he did get inducted into the Hall 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.520 of Fame that year, so there's a little credibility to that. 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.560 It was Eminem not you know, when you think of 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.760 Eminem you also think of Josh Grobin, so it does 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:28.920 make sense. Sure. I also this is um Also the 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:34.640 episode we're will point out that Emma mentions John Stamos 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:38.760 for the first time, right, which I'm sure it was 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:43.040 influenced whether they knew or not that they wanted John Stamos, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.360 I'm sure to play to be a part of the 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.320 show at some point. I'm sure that was a Ryan 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.920 thing that was like, let's or it was inspired by 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.800 and they're like later in life, they're like, Okay, let's 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.280 get let's get John. Maybe it's that's sort of like, oh, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.640 let's make a character like Jane Lynch. Oh, let's just 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:04.120 Jane Lynch, fair enough. Maybe it's that trying to articulate 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.760 thank you, you know for that. Yeah, and um Stamy 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.080 does join later. I mean I did love I I 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:15.840 like seeing the boys do some questionable dancing and singing, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:23.240 and it was pretty it was uncomfortably straight. Yes, is right. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.000 Maybe that's why we don't like it. Maybe that's it's 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.280 like always in every Broadway show there's like one dad song, 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.240 you know, a thousand per set, and the Aka Fella 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:38.480 storyline is the Dad Dad song. VI, it's the glove song. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:44.080 And I'm nailing hammer on head. There you go. Alright, 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.520 so let's talk. Let's talk about the let's get to 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:51.520 the good. What are we doing this episode? So Glee 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.160 clubs upset because Shoe is not a good choreographer and 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.480 we hated his song in the last episode, the song Choys. 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.400 We hate his choreography. We just hate Mr Sho. He's outdated, 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.600 you know, And we're well, Rachel's got some motives. She's 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.680 trying to win, and she's upset about she knows that 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.240 what he's giving us is not going to happen. So 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.680 people want scheming. We get some scheming from the Cheerios, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.480 Sue and Quinn and Santana, which we get to see 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.040 so much more of Nia in this episode, and some 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:28.280 very good nuggets of comedic brilliance from her excellence excellence. Um. Also, 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.440 I do love I feel like you know, as the 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:36.159 show progresses, you get less of the Diana and Nia 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.560 dynamic in this form, and they are so good together. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:46.000 They're very, very funny, and like I just love Early Quinn, 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:50.320 Early see Antana, who are like millions of Sue like 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:54.880 it's shows. It's so quintessential to this, like villain versus 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.600 the nerd in school and I love that cliche and 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.280 I love that, you know, like Sue get was these 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:04.240 high school kids things to do, some mischievous plots to 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.879 pull off, but then like high school things happen and 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.879 they get distracted, like, well, we tried to do that, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.440 but you know, so and so is mad at this person, 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.959 so we couldn't do it. Um, So they set up 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:24.480 to hire Um, Dakota Stanley to Stanley, you're Stanley up. Sorry, 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.520 I got hired Dakoda Stanley to choreograph because he choreographs 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.639 are vocal adrenaline and the whole thing here is that 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.560 he is so intense and so good that the new 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:37.280 directions will never be able to cut it and will falter. 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.880 So I remember shooting these scenes with whit Herford, who 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:49.359 played Dakota Stanley hilarious. Um, we were cracking. Yeah, the 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.639 one with all of us where he's like criticizing us. 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.159 But earlier on we go to UM we go on 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:59.720 location and I remember shooting this with Um Kurd and 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:01.399 we're say, this is where you kind of set up 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:05.239 the Kurt's car with the Lincoln and you know him 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:09.280 driving that car and UM, there was a last scene 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.600 of the night that we shot with him in the convertible, 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.920 UM getting in the car and we had like run 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.359 out of time, and it was like one of the 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.480 first times I think I realized like, oh, you can't 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.119 like really go over without like costing a lot of 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.440 money to the production. UM. And I think we did 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:28.280 that in like one take. I think that was like 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.280 a very very rushed thing. And I remember having a 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.919 line and being so excited that I finally had a 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:35.760 line and I got I think I got to do 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:41.760 it once and I was like that's it, that's it. Um. 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:48.600 But yeah, another incredible vocal a journal performance. I mean 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.199 I never I just love when they put them in 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.480 the air and then they get on the floor and 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:58.159 it was just like, God, they're so good. Um. Fun fact, 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.639 the girl in vocal Adrenaline outside by the garbage cans 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:06.720 who is holding um the other dancers hair back is 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:12.520 Shelby Shum, who is or was at the time Harry's girlfriend, 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.479 but now they are married with a child, and you know, 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.120 and she's a friend of ours. But that is Shelby 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.240 Shum that we get to see, one of the best 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.280 people on the planet. And then also, Kevin, did you 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:29.959 know that Dakota Stanley was actually Cheyenne Jackson was supposed 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.800 to play Dakota Stanley? What so he was supposed to 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.760 play to go to Stanley? And I texted him this 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:43.640 morning because I was like, I feel like I know this, 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:48.400 like he was supposed to play this role. Um, he responded, 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.280 and I started to read you the text, let me 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:55.920 get it. So I wrote him a voice I said, 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.680 I sent him a voice message and he said, I said, 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.520 did you was it true that you were supposed to 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:04.040 play Dakota Stanley? He said, hey, hey, yes, that is true. Um, 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.639 I was supposed to play that part. Um. Actually I 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.359 traveled to l A. I had my fitting and I 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.480 got the flu and I was so sick. He was 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.479 like insanity at the time. He was doing Broadway at 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.879 the time, so a poor guy. I was lying on 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:18.760 the floor in the costume shop and it was lu 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.400 Irick that came in and she was taking care of 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.520 me and it was such a bummer. So yeah, that 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:26.720 was my I thought my Glee moment was over until 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.720 Ryan said, oh I have something else for you. Um, 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:34.280 and so yeah, it is very very true. Oh my god, 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.240 thank I he got to come back, I know, because 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:41.760 you know, what a what a looker. It's a shame. 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.640 He's not talented either. No, yeah, exactly, it's terribly terribly 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:50.040 untalented and really ugly. So we'll have Hyanne on the podcast. 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:51.800 He was also one of those people Broadway people. I 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:53.920 didn't know who he was, and then I remember hearing 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.360 him saying for the first time and just like, well, 0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:00.720 that's not humanly possible or fair, but exactly like what. 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:10.640 So Sue also tries to get to pretty terrible success 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.000 um Quinn and Santana to pick off the Glee club 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:18.240 one by one to mess up their relationships, their morale, 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:21.640 all that sort of thing, which brings us to sort 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:26.480 of the sea plot of this episode, which is the 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:32.119 best plot, the best plot where Mercedes is noticing that 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:38.600 everybody's coupled up, and she in her bff kurt Um 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:43.919 are seemingly close and friendly with one another. So Quentin 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:49.040 and Santana swoop into encourage that love interaction, and it 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:53.879 keeps happening, um until some of the new directions step 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.280 in and be like, we're having a game engine. So 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.240 the game engine was really fun to shoot, and I 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.359 remember being so excited I got to say Lady Fabulous, 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:10.640 hurts Lady Fabulous. Um. That was really Uh. We didn't 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:12.159 have like attend to do in this episode, so it 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:14.040 was really fun to shoot these little like one offs. 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:19.720 But um, we were very involved in this Bust Your Windows. 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.920 I feel I feel like I was invested in this number. 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.000 I mean basically, yeah, I think our memory of this 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:30.040 is Bust Your Windows because coming into this show or 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:34.360 the season, during the pilot, Amber and I had been 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:36.600 talking about and I think it was Amber and Ryan 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:40.439 they had been talking about Jasmine Sullivan. Somehow came up. 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:44.360 Amber and I were gigantic fans of Jasmine Sullivan. Um, 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.200 it was her first album had just come out and 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:50.000 Buster Windows was the single, and it was the first 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:53.680 time he sort of listened to what we were saying 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:57.119 about the music and put it into the show and 0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:02.280 then gave her this gigantic and in sane performance that 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.800 I love that It ends with you broke my car, 0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:12.040 You broke my heart, You broke my heart. It's so 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.280 and I do you like we all went and watched 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:19.200 we I mean I feel like we we watched every rehearsal, 0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:23.399
