Welcome to you and That's 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.360 what you Really missed podcast. I'm Jenna, I'm Kevin, and 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:21.720 today we are talking all things Mattress Season one, episode twelve. 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:30.440 Come on down to Mattress Land. Um. What a wild 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:36.200 and crazy and memorable experience this episode was. I really 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.479 enjoyed this episode though, watching it or shooting it or 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:44.040 both both both. I enjoyed watching more than I thought 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.199 I would. There's a lot that happens, and we're in 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.760 a lot of it, and I had a lot of 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.199 fun shooting this thing. There's just a lot of memories 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.800 in real life. When this episode actually came out, which 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.960 was on December two, two nine, we had a very 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:02.040 busy week. We did, because this is when it started 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.039 to get gray. Yeah, because up to this point. Also 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.440 when this episode aired, this was the highest most viewed 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:14.160 episode after the pilot, so we were growing every single eventually. Okay, 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.800 so um Empire State of Mind is still number one 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.160 on the charts. And the Blind Slide The Black My God, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.679 The Blind Slide the movie with Sandra Bullock. I said 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:31.320 that right um has slid up to number one. Yeah, 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.119 that's why I was going. First it was the Sandra 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.760 Bullock like come Back Yere because The Proposal was also 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:42.200 a huge movie that year. So what happened in um, 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.520 what happened with us this this uh this crazy week 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:50.040 several things. So some of us did this um appearance 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.000 in New York City and Brandt Park for like t 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.560 J Max and Marshall's. We did a Carol Okey contest? 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.560 Can you participate in that? Now? Did you know? I 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.080 did do that either? Okay, I remember anything about that? 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.040 UM unimportant. Next, and then we went to our first 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.240 jingle Ball. I remember that. Yeah, I do remember that. 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.480 That was great. I feel very I felt very cool 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.080 that I could get into jingle Ball. Well, you also 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.160 said to me when we went to jingle Ball this 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.680 current two year to talk about and that's what you 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.560 really missed. You're like, have you been to jingle Ball? 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.880 And I was like, no, I don't think I've been 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.680 to jingle Ball multiple times. Yeah, and I've been with 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.880 you at multiple Yeah. So they're okay, that's how good 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.960 my memory is right now? Okay, So we went to 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.600 the jingle Ball and then UM, Kevin, do you remember 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.880 going to the Tervor Projects cracked Christmas and at the 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.400 Wheel Turns that was with Chris and Corey and I 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:52.680 had just gotten off of a flu and my dress. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.280 They're real good, YEP. I remember that. And this was 0:02:55.760 --> 0:03:00.240 the beginning of a long relationship with Trevor Project. If 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.000 you know what Trade Project is, it's a UM a 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:09.520 resource center, hotline for UM LGBT people, UM suicide hotline 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.959 you can text in. It's an incredible, incredible organization. And 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.919 they were really small at this point. They didn't have 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.680 like the text in chat room things that they have now. 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.959 And we all went and I remember being so impressed. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.400 I also remember because I was like, you know, closeted 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.600 that I was. I was like, I have to. I'm like, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.240 regardless off, I'm scared of people, the public finding out 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.080 if I'm gere or not. I have to be involved 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.440 with this organization. And we went every single year, Adam Shaman, 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:43.720 we were presented, did all the things. UM. This week 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.160 the Gale the music Volume two Jeez were just pumping 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:52.280 them out was released. It had seventeen tracks, and UM 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.080 didn't Volume one does come out? Yeah, well exactly, uh? 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:01.320 And then Kevin, you didn't you guys do a photo shoot. Um, 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.600 they got Vanity Fair photo issues, Yeah, which was felt 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.160 very fancy. It was the first time I had been 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.920 in you know, a I think a big like fashion 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.200 important magazine like that. It was very jealous that you 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.919 guys had to do that. And then I remember going 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.760 to visit you and we had a singing in the 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.760 rain thing and so we were all dressed in these hats. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.280 And so the issue with this for me was I 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.160 was very excited about this. It meant a lot to me. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.520 But do you remember this is when I had my 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:42.839 issue with strip where I kept getting recurring strep throughout 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.480 over and over and over again, and nobody could figure 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.280 out what was wrong with me, and I kept having 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.799 to go to the doctor and they were like pumping 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.400 me full of antibiotics. And in this photo shoot, I'm 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.640 standing on a light pole like holding it, wrapping my 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.600 arm around it. But I had had like I V 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:07.880 things in my you know, my elbow, and I was 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.720 using that to hold onto the light post. But I 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.520 was trying to be like and they had like fake 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.840 rain coming down and I could barely stand on this 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.840 thing because it was so slippery, and I was trying 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.640 to keep it all together. And I was so sick, 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.600 and my arm wasn't so much pain because it's like 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:28.000 on a wound, and yeah, and it's in public. It's 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.880 on a very busy street in front of a very 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.640 busy museum and getting to do one of the coolest 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.240 things in my life up to that point, and I 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.480 am Kevin. It was also really late at night, and 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.680 I had lived down the block from there at the time, 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.680 so I said, I'm going to come visit, and they 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.400 blocked that whole straight up. I wasn't allowed to come 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.880 and see you guys. And I was like, I swear, 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.080 I'm I'm part of this. They know me, I know them, 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.360 I know them, and they were like, no, absolutely not. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.680 So I drove by and I saw the rain going 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.279 and you guys looked very fabulous from afar, and that's 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.120 all I got was just a sheer glimpse into the 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.160 world of the very painful than the fair shoote for 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.000 you and then ended up being this really like small 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:17.440 photo adventity, but you were inventity. Care. I was that's awesome. Okay, okay, 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.720 let's let's do it. Let's do it all right. So 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:26.800 this is Mattress and Um. This aired December two, two nine, 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.800 My gosh, and this was directed by Eldie Keene Here 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.040 she is again, which I was like, wow. Eldie directed 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.920 a bunch of episodes early on, so crazy. Um. This 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.839 was written by Ryan Murphy and the Try the Holy 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:45.760 Trinity um Ian Brennan and Brad Felt Chuck and Um. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:50.080 We had two great little guest stars who were the 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.680 Mattress store owner and the DP or the director John 0:06:54.760 --> 0:07:01.000 Ross Bowie and Chuck's spitler. We did smile from Millie Allen, 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:05.080 which we'll talk about, Um, jump van Halen and then 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.720 smile Charlie Chaplin. Um. Like I said, this was the 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.400 most viewed episode, so eight point one five million viewers. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.400 That was a high for us. And at some point 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.120 the originally the episode was called Once Upon a Mattress, 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.120 but we couldn't get the rights to it. No, they 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:26.120 had to change that Mattress. It is okay. I enjoyed 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:31.040 this episode. There's a lot that happens. Yes, So basically, 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.080 when the Glee Club is left out of the Yearbook 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.080 due to budget cuts, almost everyone except Rachel is relieved 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.160 they won't have to suffer the ridicule of past years, 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.320 because it's known amongst the school's history that the glee 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:49.040 club picture always gets defaced by the cooler people's right right, 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.760 and Rachel tries to elevate the social status of the 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.120 leae club by getting them cast in a local commercial, 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.840 which causes drama, so much drama. And then finally Will 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.320 discovers that his wife Terry has been lying to him 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.480 about the pregnancy. Baby. It is peaking. Oh, I mean, 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.920 this is it's happening. And also I think at this 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.640 time to remember there writing this episode twelve we have 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.440 is a one more episode before the break. We know 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.120 at this point that we're coming back. I don't know 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.560 that we did. I think by by by the time 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.400 it was airing, Yes, but we didn't when they were 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.439 writing it, I don't know. And so they had to 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.600 like wrap up some of these storylines or or leave 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:42.040 it hanging interested. So I needed the back nine. So 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.760 this year book the Thunderclap. Yeah, tell me about it. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:49.360 It's a very very big deal. Obviously. Um the show 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.160 starts out with like Will and the teacher's lounge, everybody 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.360 getting a double dose of the bad news, which is 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.599 Emma and Kin's wedding. Is the same day as sectionals 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.440 because I'm not getting married, why any or And it's 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.360 the fiftieth edition of the McKinley High School underclap and 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.679 she walks in with a black eye and says she 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.000 convinced Figgins not to let the glee club have a 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.839 picture in the yearbook because it always gets you know, 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.679 like I said, the face, it always gets drawn on. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.480 It would just relieve some of the pressure and the 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:31.720 ridicule and the embarrassment for the glee club. Emma has 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.199 some really good one liners in this episode. This is 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.360 her one two three punch. That's not the saying. But 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.120 she says the wedding was going to be in Hawaii, 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.800 but then they told me I couldn't bring my own fruit. 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.040 How cute, um. But then she goes on to talk 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.840 about Kennan how he has a lot of flaws. Ken 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.880 has a lot of flaws. He has seventy four flaws 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.600 of yesterday. And then I think the best one of all, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.560 Oh my gosh, dude, did someone finally punch you? Sue 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.520 looks like she has a black eye, but she actually 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.200 got some work done and her cheer ducks removed, which 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.000 she was in like rare form in this scene. It 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.240 was really, really really marked that for my favorite line 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.360 of the episodes, most likely. Okay, so then we go 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.760 to the choir room, where do you remember shooting this? 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.880 Of course, Well, Kurt's telling everybody that, um, not getting 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.319 a photo in the Thunderclub is actually a blessing in 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:27.319 disguise because um, he says, a yearbook photo would only 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.280 fuel the flames of anti glee club terror and it 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:36.240 gets defaced and we would be all, look real crazy. Um. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.600 When we were shooting this scene, Chris had a mouthful 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.040 there was when it started, I just said out loud, 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.640 I'm like, oh, Chris couldn't get this. And then you 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.840 watch it, and it was he had every random word 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.400 thrown at him in this scene. And well, and and 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.079 the hardest thing is like those one like when you 0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:00.160 have one line, it's actually harder than having a a 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.320 stream of consciousness and a thought and having twenty lines 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.120 because it's out of nowhere. You have to remember it 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.439 out of nowhere and create context for yourself. Um. And 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.440 for Chris it was like this like one of those 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:19.439 famous pair you know monologues where nothing really there's no 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:25.120 real stream of consciounessness so, um, poor Chris, but he 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.400 nailed it. I remember, and we all had to like 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.840 interject sometimes, and it was all this pressure where Chris 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:34.559 has this really difficult monologue to say and then we 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.880 have to interject, and like, who are we going to 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.760 be the ones that mess his entire scene up for him? Right, 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:44.280 He's like trying like holding on to We've all been there. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.280 I have my memory of that. So Mr Shoe is on. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.520 It's not privy to the fact that we're all like, great, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.480 we're not going to be in the yearbook. But he 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:55.599 insists that we have to be in the yearbook, and 0:11:55.640 --> 0:12:00.160 he decides to go to Figgins and Figgins is that 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.400 the only way to get everybody into the yearbook in 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.160 the glee club is for thousand dollars, which is wildly 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.120 expensive for a yearbook photo. By the way, I was 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.160 very anti yearbook, anti school things, so I don't remember. Yeah, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:18.360 I would have fought for the yearbook. Um, so Will 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.720 it's like, okay, what about a quarter page? Um where 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.800 and and Figgins It's like, okay, it's like three bucks 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.559 or whatever where two members can be in it. So 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:35.880 Biggins now recommends that they pick Finn in Santana. He says, now, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.439 I suggest you select a good looking cheerleader, not the 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.800 pregnant one and the quarterback for the photos. Their faces 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.240 are less likely to be scratched out with safety pins. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.800 And then at that moment, barges in because she's got 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.760 some words that she hasn't been seen yet. Oh my god, 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.520 so funny. Rachel barges in and she insists that glee 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.000 clubs in the yearbook, and and Mr She's like, got it, Rachel, 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.679 and she's like, thank you so much and leaves in 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.319 her very Rachel whye. And then we go through this 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.840 incredible bit of Rachel in her obsession to be photographed, 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.719 to practice for the paparazzi and being a part of 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:18.400 every club, which some of them just don't. I didn't 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.080 remember watching this. He was laughing, because, like Leah's face 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.280 and these is excellent. This is a very good episode 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:31.040 for Rachel and Leah. She is absolutely nailing it because 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.599 she's very good a physical comedy and like one of 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.959 those things that we do, like in between takes and 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:42.079 things of doing sort of impressions of our characters, and 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.040 she was using all of those tools, the big smile 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:49.400 and all that that's right. We were elevated in this episode. Um. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.280 But her in the clubs, I was like, oh, some 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.719 of these didn't age well. No, so click that for 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.880 it is funny? What oh it it's very fun because 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.679 it's also like we know it's inappropriate at that time though. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.160 It is like we know this is wrong, and she's 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.120 using these using it too in to her advantage in 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:15.840 the wrong, wrongest or wrong ways. Um so, and then 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.599 we had to Quinn in the library. We're not in 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.680 the library very often, so this is exciting. Yeah, I 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.360 feel like this is we're going to start seeing the 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:26.680 library because get more budget and bigger library. That's right. 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.200 So we see quinnin library and she's looking at the 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.960 yearbook and she decides that she doesn't she wants to 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.200 be in the cheerios again. She needs to be relevant 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.200 and I feel like she's a part of a part 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:43.960 of something. And I gasped at this. I gasped. Um. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:45.360 She says, I want my kids to be able to 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.560 look back at these books and see who I was, 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.400 make them proud, not the bastard carrying now of course 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.320 the ones will have when I'm married and ready. Yeah, exactly, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:15:01.760 John Snow Um, I thought that was very very funny. Um, okay, 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.480 what what what happens next? Then we go so then 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.600 we're seeing how the Glee cub effects every single person. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.400 I mean, the yearbook affects every single person on the show. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.920 It's funny how one of these high school things becomes 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.200 such a thing. It's very high school. I like lean 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.280 into these high school things like this. And then Mr 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.320 Shoe goes to tell Terry that he wants to buy 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.000 an ad and use it for the glee club, and 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.760 she says no five times, but he obviously does not 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.880 listen because he has always prioritized the glee club. Um 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.600 and gives Figgins a check to pay for it, and 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.120 then he tells the good Club that they have to 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.400 pick two captains for the photo, and then everyone very quickly, 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.600 on purpose, unanimously votes for Rachel because they don't want 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:48.160 to including Rachel. And I love that scene, like all 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.240 the kids colluding to just like, yep, you can do 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.560 it great, finally giving her the attention she wants, the 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:59.040 spotlight she wants, and then Will is a little perplexed 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.760 because this is the first time he seeing that the 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.200 kids don't want to be in the photo and ask 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:10.240 him afored advice, and then Emma apologizes for missing sectionals 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:12.840 and tells her he thinks you can schedule the wedding 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:21.600 on purpose. Oh drama. And then Will decides that Rachel 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:27.160 needs a co captain and do you I remember filming 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:31.840 this because this was the first time that Rachel already 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.520 have a little one on one. Um, yeah, here's my 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:41.080 bid for it didn't age well? Is everybody giving, you know, 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.520 excuses of why they can't be the co captain? Mercedes 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:50.000 says she can't no time kwanza yeah, um, and then 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:55.280 Already says, um, you can't. I can't because we'll mess 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.760 up a composition because if you lean over, it will 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.040 look like you have stomach rolls. It's very funny. This 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.440 scene was very funny. Yeah, and then I thought how 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:08.080 this was the best and um, she says, no way, 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:09.600 because I don't want to be in a picture with you. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.119 It'll get to face and Rachel says, no, it won't, 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.480 and she says Britney says, if it will, I'll be 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.080 doing it. I'll be the one doing it. So Rachel 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:23.200 then goes to good old Trustee suite Finn because he 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.200 is a leader and he says yes, and you know, 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:32.080 then insert Smile by Lily Allen, which we were very 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.679 excited about this because Lily Allen was like coming up. 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.879 Her album had come out. We were all listening to 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.320 it on like, um, you know at our chairs in 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:46.080 between takes. We love this album and I just am 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:52.400 so uncomfortable watching this number. I might have passworded through 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:56.159 it me too. I definitely fast arted this to be 0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:01.280 real because it felt like it was just inserted for 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.840 the sake of yes, we need and in these early episodes, 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.200 we don't. We didn't have that right. They all kind 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.480 of moved the plot, they moved or they were really 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.680 really like fun huge numbers with like big costumes and 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.920 production value, but this one was like why is this here? 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.520 Also feel like okay, it sort of felt like Ryan 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.480 was throwing us a bone because we wanted this song 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.200 in the show, and there was just a lot of 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.719 um storyline in this episode, and I think they were 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.920 just kind of like searching for the right material for 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.359 the for the songs to fit, but there's just so 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.880 much other good material in this In this episode, um 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.960 Rachel also slaps pins. But at the end of this 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.480 rad and the piano is also like really getting into 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.359 that he's living living. I actually fast forwarded and then 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:53.520 I um ended up Rad and he was moving Um okay, 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.159 and then we we cut to Finn who is in 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.480 locker room and getting um drawn and written on by 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.119 Crofsky and a Zemio. I love Crofsky and Zemio together. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:10.400 I thought they were a really amazing, horrible bully duo 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.320 and also got funny. I mean they were trying to 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.280 draw Nazi symbols on the I mean the Hitler symbol 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.720 on his face, which I thought didn't it wasn't good. 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:26.760 But but the duo, we're starting to see the duo, 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.040 which is your potato head, like you could you could 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.240 write a high kup on his head because that was funny. 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.440 That's very funny. I don't know if that was outlet 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.840 or not. So's getting bullied by his own teammates Krofsky, 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.440 who was not on the hockey team but on the 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:42.760 football team, right. And then Rachel Rachel is going to 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.480 be at the photo it's photo day for the glee club. 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.760 She's waiting for her co captain and he's not showing 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.560 and the photographer UM says he's gotta go because he's 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.879 gotta He's like, sorry, I gotta go. Hurry up. Um, 0:19:58.080 --> 0:19:59.720 I've got to go show this commercial for my brother. 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:05.200 And the she's like boo, she hears commercial. Um. And 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.560 John John Ross Bowie, who is the guest star who 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.240 plays the photographer and the director of the Mattress commercial. 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.840 You may know him from Speechless or The Big Bang Theory, 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.480 that little show, just that small tidy thing. Um. And 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.719 he also comes back, you know, he goes back in Um, 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:30.840 he ends up in the Glee Project. As I thought 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.560 this scene was so strange, but the two of them 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.080 are so good that they made it. Like she takes 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:41.520 that break and looks in the mirror. Yeah, like there's 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.480 all these My favorite parts of the show are when 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:50.280 we get into those odd, weird, specific comedic things and 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.120 then she goes and sits down and starts crying because 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:54.639 she's trying to get the job. I just thought it 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:59.840 was really very funny executed. Yeah, very very funny. I 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:04.320 can cry out of one eye. So then, um, Rachel 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:08.560 is you know piste Finn and Finn says, well, they 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.399 said that I took the Glee Club photo. They'd make 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.560 me choose between a Hitler mustache or buck teeth and 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:15.240 I can't rock either of those looks, so you know, 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:23.040 yeah whatever, which leads us into the commercial. The mattress 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.200 part of this episode, which is the best part. Well, 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.560 I don't know about that, but it is one of 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:33.640 it's our favorite party. So Rachel's in the glee club. 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:35.480 She calls the meeting to session. She says that the 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.240 glee Club is a rare opportunity to become stars. That 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.600 we've been cast in a local commercial, and Tina is 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:46.640 very excited. Um, and she says, hold onto your hats 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:51.119 and get ready to sell some mattresses. All these numbers. 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.560 I remember shooting all these scenes. They were like so quick. 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.399 We were like in one off scenes of like I 0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:00.600 remember just this this episode moving very quickly. There was 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:04.000 a lot to do. It's like, you guys don't matter 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.280 right now. We don't need to do twelves. We don't 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:11.280 need a coverage of twelve different people exactly, it's a group. Um, 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.880 So now we're rehearsing. Now we're at mattress Land, which 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:21.200 was a mattress store warehouse in like the middle of 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:25.240 nowhere in California, and it was it was very hot. 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.360 And if you watch this first thing where we're all 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.399 lined up acting out the scene that we're supposed to 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.520 do in this commercial, we're all a bit dewey. Well 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.720 that we shot this after we were did the musical number. 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:43.800 We were sweating. But um, we're rehearsing this number or 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:49.960 the commercial as it was written, and the delivery of 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:55.840 these lines is excellent. And I remember Mark's line delivery 0:22:56.080 --> 0:23:00.600 was cracking us up. We were fully losing it, losing 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.959 it and and and ambers and it's just very funny. Um, 0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.919 But do you remember rehearsing for this, like, well, they 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.479 had to. They put us on the sound stage right, 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.639 like a separate sound stage because the mattresses wouldn't fit 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.800 in the tin shed where we normally rehearse, and we 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:20.520 were rehearsing really late at night. I remember it was 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.320 like after we had shot something else. Yeah, I remember 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:26.399 rehearsing these. These were real fun, except I was like 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.639 worried my neck was going to get all crazy. I 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.639 just remember too, because it was. Um, there's a lot 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:33.680 of pictures online that I think we all took of 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.200 each other and posted at some point of us like 0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:39.920 sitting around on these gigantic trampolines that they covered and 0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:44.399 fabric to look like mattresses, and we were climbing up 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.399 places we probably weren't supposed to in this empty sound stage, 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:51.800 like and I just remember we were left alone on 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.320 those stages a lot, I think because Zack and Brooke 0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:56.960 had to go. I think, yeah, I think there was 0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:01.600 something another number being shot that needed their attention. Yes, yes, 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:04.040 I remember laying on those mattresses for a very long time, 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.040 and so it was like a nice little break respect 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:13.120 on these little soft pads of this mattress and them 0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:16.080 also being like what what is this number? How are 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.359
