Speaker 1: Welcome to and That's what You Really miss podcast. Na booooooooooo,
Speaker 1: hello everybody, Thank you for writing in. We are so excited.
Speaker 1: We love these We're going through them right now. They're
Speaker 1: so many. I don't even know how we're going to
Speaker 1: do another one because the way we can get through
Speaker 1: all of these, Yeah, this is crazy, Okay. We asked
Speaker 1: about specifically, also about like the end of season five,
Speaker 1: in the beginning of season six, because we are here,
Speaker 1: we are here, we are here.
Speaker 2: Someone said, why why why did Rachel suddenly want to
Speaker 2: go to LA That's a very common thing. I think
Speaker 2: it's like people are trying to climb that ladder. And
Speaker 2: how many people, Jenna, I'm sure that you worked with
Speaker 2: that were like trying to like as soon as you
Speaker 2: get your first leg in the door, you're like, what's next?
Speaker 1: For sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all you theater folk ended up on TV.
Speaker 1: Totally exactly, and especially with these musical TV shows. What
Speaker 1: happened to Adam Lambert aka Star Child, Well, Kurt mentions
Speaker 1: them and old Dog right. He says that he went
Speaker 1: off on tour or something or what did he say
Speaker 1: want to og a treat? That's right?
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know. Adam Lambert also, you know,
Speaker 2: frontman of Queen doing his own music.
Speaker 1: He was He did have a good stint on the
Speaker 1: show though, more than Devin for sure. You know, how
Speaker 1: do you guys Amber feel about the sam Stadies breaking up? Yet? Again?
Speaker 1: What do they? Oh? No spoiler alert. I know we
Speaker 1: were just talking about sam Stades and in all doug
Speaker 1: New tricks and like how much we love them and
Speaker 1: they should have been endgame. Okay, did you keep any scripts?
Speaker 1: And if so, are there episodes that you would never
Speaker 1: get rid of? Okay? So I had to go through
Speaker 1: my Glee box recently because of the fires. I had
Speaker 1: started packing in case we had to evacuate, and I
Speaker 1: went through and I have a copy of Now we
Speaker 1: would get like the big copies of course to our doorstep,
Speaker 1: but we'd also get little ones. You know, on set
Speaker 1: you get daily copies of like what you're shooting that right, right,
Speaker 1: and like just like a few scenes a day. Right.
Speaker 1: So Brad Beaker had small copies made for every friended
Speaker 1: Boudy for the pilot, and then he had them leather
Speaker 1: bound like they they had came this little leather bound
Speaker 1: book thing, and so I have that one. I have
Speaker 1: the Pilot, I have Tina in the Sky, I have Wheels,
Speaker 1: I have two thousand and nine. I have Dreams Come True.
Speaker 1: I have and there's a few others, but those are
Speaker 1: the main ones that I kept, because like I kept
Speaker 1: them all for a really long time, and then I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, now it's time to start to pare
Speaker 1: down a little bit. But those are the ones that
Speaker 1: I kept.
Speaker 2: I think I have the Pilot, Wheels, and dream on
Speaker 2: in maybe two thousand and nine, Yes, that might be it.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Can Jenna talk more about her decision to walk away
Speaker 2: from season five?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well, I didn't necessarily like walk away.
Speaker 1: I think as a mutual decision that they were like
Speaker 1: great less characters. And also like I was ready obviously
Speaker 1: because of like just the whole experience, Like we were
Speaker 1: just tired. I was tired. I was ready for something different.
Speaker 1: I was ready to go off and like have a break,
Speaker 1: see some friends, do a little traveling, maybe do a
Speaker 1: Broadway show. There was like a couple of offers that
Speaker 1: had come through God bless offers, and like you know,
Speaker 1: just like other opportunities like I went and off and
Speaker 1: I did the Hollywood Bowl that summer, and so they're
Speaker 1: just like things that were so much fun that I
Speaker 1: was able to do right off the heels of Glee.
Speaker 1: And I also like didn't feel like I actually left,
Speaker 1: because I came back for opening night and then like
Speaker 1: very shortly after the end of the show was near
Speaker 1: and I was there for a bunch, especially like the
Speaker 1: last few, so I don't feel like I actually really left,
Speaker 1: but it was it was actually a really good choice.
Speaker 1: I think I needed it for my mental health and
Speaker 1: for just like for my own self idea. Can you
Speaker 1: interview someone from High School Musical the musical the series?
Speaker 1: I feel like that would be a cool swap experience.
Speaker 1: I would love to interview people who were in other
Speaker 1: musical TV shows or movies.
Speaker 2: I would like to have some of our friends from
Speaker 2: high school musical come.
Speaker 1: On, especially because like zach Tor, high school musical.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they also like the reason we had the
Speaker 2: contract we had going into the show was because of
Speaker 2: high school Musical, so like they had already done it,
Speaker 2: and I'd like to talk to them as well.
Speaker 1: Did you already know at this point that season six
Speaker 1: was the end. Yes, yeah, yes we knew. I think
Speaker 1: we found out its season four right like when we
Speaker 1: were going into season five that six was comedian.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like we found out halfway
Speaker 2: through season five maybe Okay, I don't know if we
Speaker 2: knew immediately.
Speaker 1: Would you rather see a prequel or sequel for a reboot?
Speaker 2: Sequel? Prequel reboot?
Speaker 1: No for the reboot? Oh wait, so like either a
Speaker 1: seql or a prequel, and I think neither. I think
Speaker 1: we can just go completely Well, no, that's not true.
Speaker 1: It has to be one. I would say a sequel
Speaker 1: like farther down the line.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I would like to see Current Day, can
Speaker 2: not pre Yeah exactly. Whom are your favorite duet partners?
Speaker 2: Obviously mine are Jenna and Amber Party.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly exactly Kevin and Amber I did. I did
Speaker 1: also really like working with Cord Yes, weirdly with Tina
Speaker 1: data hot professor. Absolutely totally, that would be your thing.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Huh.
Speaker 1: What was the most memorable or challenging Let's go with challenging.
Speaker 1: So what was the most challenging scene you ever felt
Speaker 1: on Glee and how did it impact you as an actor?
Speaker 2: I think when I get when I try to walk
Speaker 2: and then I fall. I think that was the most challenging,
Speaker 2: maybe emotionally challenging.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but funny Valentine comes to mind
Speaker 1: room and it's partially because because I hated shooting them,
Speaker 1: but partially because like it's so beyond the realm, Like
Speaker 1: it's so ridiculous and it's supposed to be comedy, and
Speaker 1: like I'm really supposed to be crying about Mike and
Speaker 1: so trying to find for Tina. It always felt like
Speaker 1: I was trying to find the truth and the groundedness
Speaker 1: in the ridiculous, And that was like the ultimate one.
Speaker 1: That was like I'm supposed to be like crying and
Speaker 1: how much I loved Mike and singing a song live,
Speaker 1: while also like everybody's supposed to be weirded out bite,
Speaker 1: so it had to be real, right, Like it couldn't
Speaker 1: be me making a mockery of myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So those were like the hard that's one, very
Speaker 2: very hard balanced to find.
Speaker 1: Thanks, it's really annoying. I don't love it, but are
Speaker 1: you prepared for the monstrosity that is Season six?
Speaker 2: Said not a question? Season six is is one of
Speaker 2: the best in my opinion, How.
Speaker 1: Are you feeling going into season six? How are you feeling? Okay, So,
Speaker 1: how are you feeling about going into season six? Kevin?
Speaker 2: I'm of two minds.
Speaker 1: M hm.
Speaker 2: I am really looking forward to it because I have
Speaker 2: no idea what it's going to be a lot of
Speaker 2: people have said there's some great moments in it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I know it's just like a different show. So
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see that. I am sad to be
Speaker 2: leaving New York though.
Speaker 1: How much are you in season six? Kevin?
Speaker 2: I think I'm in like half of it?
Speaker 1: Really, that's it? Yeah? Interesting, Okay, I am. I don't
Speaker 1: have any real feelings about it yet, if that makes sense,
Speaker 1: Like I have zero knowledge except for like I know,
Speaker 1: like a few people new cast members are in it.
Speaker 1: I also think I'm in more of it than I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in seven out of thirteen.
Speaker 1: See that's what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: That's the open.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jenna, you're in five.
Speaker 1: I'm in five of thirteen episodes. Okay, all right?
Speaker 2: Because I remember, so we had to when you get
Speaker 2: a new contract, you have to like negotiate these things, right,
Speaker 2: and so like the network will be like, oh we
Speaker 2: we want Kevin or Jenna to be in five of
Speaker 2: thirteen or seven of thirteen, and I remember, I think
Speaker 2: Jenna correct me if I'm wrong that they thought and
Speaker 2: you thought you'd be in less episodes than that, and
Speaker 2: then they ended up using you a couple episodes more correct,
Speaker 2: because like it's only a two episode different from you
Speaker 2: and me totally.
Speaker 1: I am a special guest star in these episodes, but
Speaker 1: you're still a series.
Speaker 2: Reg Yeah, but get it, you got paid the same.
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter. Yeah, we got paid the same,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter at that point. I just wasn't
Speaker 1: under contract. I didn't have to do all of those. Correct.
Speaker 2: So we have one episode left of season five. But
Speaker 2: someone's asking, how did you like season five? Better than expected?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: I think so definitely. That's not to say there hasn't
Speaker 2: been some moments, some moments.
Speaker 1: Questionable moments. I think that I am more And maybe
Speaker 1: you've mentioned this before, Heaven, maybe we've talked about this,
Speaker 1: but like, I think I'm more forgiving of everything in
Speaker 1: this season, right, Like we've been really forgiving of what
Speaker 1: we were going through, and like it all jogged our
Speaker 1: memory going back and being like, oh that was that
Speaker 1: and this was after and this was the break and
Speaker 1: this was the time, and none of it makes sense here,
Speaker 1: you know, and you're like, but that makes sense, Like,
Speaker 1: of course, Yeah, but I definitely think it would exceeded
Speaker 1: what I was feeling right in a good way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Would you have liked to continue the McKinley New York
Speaker 1: City split and still show the season four newbies? So
Speaker 1: if you had asked me that around the episode New
Speaker 1: New York, I would have said, I'm okay with like
Speaker 1: moving on. But now in retrospect, I think I would
Speaker 1: have still liked the split.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked them.
Speaker 1: I feel also just selfishly like I would have liked
Speaker 1: our newbies back. I agree.
Speaker 2: When filming seasons five and six, do you guys agree
Speaker 2: with the public opinion that the show.
Speaker 1: Was pasted its glory days?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it wasn't so much that. I mean,
Speaker 2: you can feel that, like we felt that, you know,
Speaker 2: the and Ryan had warned us that, you know, with success,
Speaker 2: the tide changes. They build you up and then they're
Speaker 2: going to want to tear you down. Yeah, but we
Speaker 2: noticed the change in the tone of the show. Obviously,
Speaker 2: I think personal thing superseded any of that. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: just felt like, you know, the show was coming to
Speaker 2: an end. And I mean there was a point too
Speaker 2: where all of a sudden I had people coming up
Speaker 2: to me to tell me how bad the show was,
Speaker 2: which was wild, and I was not kind. It's like,
Speaker 2: why would you come up to me in person and
Speaker 2: tell me this.
Speaker 1: And tell me that that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some girls came up to me once and was like,
Speaker 2: aren't you embarrassed to be on that show? It's like, no,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? Absolutely not very proud of it.
Speaker 1: There's a question somebody asked that said, is there anything
Speaker 1: you do remember from season six? So there was an
Speaker 1: episode in season six where I think it was Noah's
Speaker 1: first episode and I think Lenjy's is there. I can't
Speaker 1: remember exactly, but I was back and I remember we
Speaker 1: all hear him singing through like the events, and we're like,
Speaker 1: what's that up? And then we like go to another
Speaker 1: room and like hear it again, and we like go
Speaker 1: find him and like, I'll never forget it, but I
Speaker 1: don't know why, and I don't. I won't jog my
Speaker 1: memory until like I actually see it that I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's why I remember it, right. But it's it's very
Speaker 1: I don't remember what episode it was, but that's one
Speaker 1: of my memories.
Speaker 2: Season six, I don't remember that. But Noah has the
Speaker 2: best male singer of the show ever had hands down, Yes,
Speaker 2: like just a freak, but his voice like butta butda,
Speaker 2: Please post more behind the scenes of Naya, So I
Speaker 2: will say so we just did Old Dogs New Tricks
Speaker 2: because we didn't get to see each other that often
Speaker 2: because I was she wasn't on the show. Like if
Speaker 2: we were on the show, we were not doing scenes together,
Speaker 2: which was it sucks. So we never saw each other
Speaker 2: except for the one day on Old Dog New Tricks
Speaker 2: or two days, and so we just spent every moment together.
Speaker 2: I'd go hang in her trailer, She'd go hang in
Speaker 2: my trailer. We'd go to lunch together. We might have
Speaker 2: had a glass of rose at lunch. It was. It
Speaker 2: was so nice. It was like her and I just
Speaker 2: like like the two little muppets and the totally oh yeah,
Speaker 2: like sitting in the back of the sitting in the
Speaker 2: back of the golf carts, just like gossiping for each other,
Speaker 2: like her because we were in like on the same show,
Speaker 2: but it felt like two different shows. Totally, so just
Speaker 2: like catching each other up on what was going on,
Speaker 2: like what have you heard? Well, you know, and so
Speaker 2: that was I love those days. It was because usually
Speaker 2: if like we were together, there were a lot of
Speaker 2: people around. It was chaotic, but it was very fun.
Speaker 2: It was definitely like clickie, I just wouldn't leave her side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys were always together. It's very cute.
Speaker 2: Would you guys go on the Traders.
Speaker 1: A thousand percent? I'm watching season two right now, just
Speaker 1: finished one and three.
Speaker 2: I haven't watched three yet.
Speaker 1: We're oh threes go.
Speaker 2: You got to watch the UK one.
Speaker 1: I know we're about to do that after we finished
Speaker 1: season two. We are hooked. We love the show. I
Speaker 1: used to explain. So behind the scenes, we used to
Speaker 1: play Mafia all the time all the time. Our cast loved.
Speaker 2: We still play Mafia and friend groups, like that's what
Speaker 2: we do. Mafia is the same as Traders, by the way,
Speaker 2: it's the exact same rule.
Speaker 1: I remember though, I was telling David about this that
Speaker 1: like Harry used to host great Mafia games with like
Speaker 1: a bunch of friends and like so many people would
Speaker 1: show up that Like I remember there was one game
Speaker 1: where we had to stand up in his living room
Speaker 1: because there was like thirty of us and they were
Speaker 1: screaming it is Oh, it's so good. We got to
Speaker 1: do that again really soon because I am loving traders
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: I just played it. I just played Mafia for the
Speaker 2: first time in a long time a couple weeks ago
Speaker 2: with like twenty two people, and it was so good.
Speaker 1: I was also thinking about Tree last night in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night because I was like, wow, like,
Speaker 1: imagine how intense that game must be, because it looks
Speaker 1: like they they shoot over like a week and a
Speaker 1: half or two weeks, right, like just NonStop, and everybody's
Speaker 1: like pretty much in the same location for most of
Speaker 1: their day, right and so like you were just non stop, living,
Speaker 1: breathing traders for weeks. If you're at the end, like
Speaker 1: that is crazy, and it also like is very anxiety really, Like,
Speaker 1: I I don't know how I would do if I
Speaker 1: was a trader. I don't think I would want to
Speaker 1: be one, but I think that maybe I would have
Speaker 1: been a good one. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think you'd be a good trader. I'd be a
Speaker 2: terrible trader. I'm a good you know, quote unquote towns person,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I don't know how it would be in
Speaker 2: that situation where you're living in it.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Like it's really hardest, Like I don't know. I
Speaker 1: always get to fly under the radar as a trader,
Speaker 1: but like not you have to like fly under the radar,
Speaker 1: but contribute enough that like you make them believe you're
Speaker 1: part of their group. But then you don't want to
Speaker 1: stick out because the people who do stick out generally
Speaker 1: get voted out pretty quickly, either vanished or killed at night.
Speaker 1: So like I don't I don't know, I don't know anyway.
Speaker 2: Sorry, traders, I get voted out so quickly because I
Speaker 2: have a lot of opinions and I voice them like
Speaker 2: vocal about it. Yeah, I'm an active, active player.
Speaker 1: Yeah you are. You are. If you made yourself like
Speaker 1: really clear that you're the faithful of all faithfuls, you'd
Speaker 1: probably you'd probably do well. But you just need those
Speaker 1: shields because otherwise you'd get killed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if people would trust that,
Speaker 2: because it's easy to gang up on somebody who's got
Speaker 2: a lot of opinions.
Speaker 1: No, for sure, unless you like create like a little
Speaker 1: like alliance group. True, no question, Just to comment if
Speaker 1: you don't remember what happens with Rachel's TV pilot. Buckle up.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of scared about season six because I don't
Speaker 1: want to hate it because it's been We've been so
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised this whole way, that like to end season
Speaker 1: six disappointed in some way or like not loving it
Speaker 1: as much as we have up to this point would
Speaker 1: be sad to me.
Speaker 2: You know, does she have a pilot season six or
Speaker 2: is it what we've already seen?
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the next episode. If that's it, like the
Speaker 1: final of season five, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Would you have wanted a Disney song's tribute? Yes? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Also now that Fox is owned by Disney, you could
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: Right, That's right, we could have.
Speaker 2: That would have been the week then, but you could now.
Speaker 1: Why so many reports of toxic workplace when everyone who
Speaker 1: comes on only says good things? Yeah, because it's the
Speaker 1: news and because it's not and because this is why
Speaker 1: we do this podcast, is what you guys can see
Speaker 1: that we did actually have a really great time and
Speaker 1: that we were a family and that's what made it work.
Speaker 1: Booh yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The amount of days that were a little if you
Speaker 2: could on two hands if that for six full seasons,
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty episodes.
Speaker 1: That's why they're so memorable too, like the Bad Ones,
Speaker 1: because like they weren't all the time right or.
Speaker 2: That, and we all talked about them. We all figured
Speaker 2: it was never like an ongoing issue. We were a family.
Speaker 2: If something went awry, we would nip that in the butt.
Speaker 1: By the end of season five, did you miss doing
Speaker 1: group numbers, singing, dancing? I mean I missed everybody for sure.
Speaker 2: I mean I guess I was still doing them, so
Speaker 2: I did. Do you wish Glee kept going I mean
Speaker 2: selfishly to like see all my friends?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was time.
Speaker 1: What was your favorite storyline or character in season five?
Speaker 1: Sam Sadies?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Sam Sadies, Speaking of which, someone said, would you
Speaker 2: consider having Amber co host season six? Epps, neither of
Speaker 2: you are in.
Speaker 1: Well we got to ask her.
Speaker 2: Not a bad idea, for sure, go tell her, Go
Speaker 2: go over dms or comments on our Instagram. There were
Speaker 2: rumors that and I had a song the last episode
Speaker 2: of season five that was cut thoughts don't I don't know.
Speaker 2: To be honest, I do not remember.
Speaker 1: No idea. Yeah, let's end with this one. Not a question,
Speaker 1: but Season six is one of the best in my opinion.
Speaker 1: It is so all over the place that I cannot wait.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. I'm so curious.
Speaker 2: Here we go, Jenna, buckle up, we're about to be there.
Speaker 1: Do it. Let's do it, all right, guys, So thank
Speaker 1: you so much for writing in your cues for this
Speaker 1: end of season five Q and A. We love them.
