0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I almost hemorrhaged my chords after Thanksgiving and so I

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 3>was out of the show all of December.

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, and.

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 3>My Auntie cleared me to the very last one and

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 3>then sat in the audience just in case something went wrong.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, that's crazy. That must have been hard,

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, No, just a nice break.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 3>My body was exhausted, that was a lot. I mean,

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 3>if there was the morning show, I did it. If

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 3>there was a TV show that had the in front

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 3>of it, I did it.

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>All across the country too, and then also eh show

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>truly and.

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Then eight shows a week. I think my body was

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 3>just like, uh, you're done.

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Sit down, please, yes, please God, I'm glad you got

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to sit down.

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Then same and I'm glad Beyonce has followed your lead

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>and started putting out country music.

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, just stunt on the whole. She just said, look over.

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>There, said Alex is doing it so good.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, Beyonce should play Lulu in the movie. It would

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 3>be a success, and I would gladly bow out.

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Whoa, no, no, no, you have to do it.

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I think Beyonce would be better.

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, Beyonce can cover it on the soundtrack.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yes, yes, yes.

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly need to see you on that screen, Oh

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 2>my god, as much as I love Beyonce.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce Knowles, yeah, sacred. Okay. So the last time we

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>talked to you on this podcast, we were just talking

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>about your Tony and all things Tony. Congrats on the Tony.

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>You're a Tony Winner. You're still a Tony Winner forever.

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>So this one I would love to talk about because

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>we've had like Damien on and we've had Sam on

0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm just curious, like how that whole thing

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>one for you because you won like a two episode

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>arc and then you ended up being on our show

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>for a very for a very long time.

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 3>My experience was traumatic, to say the least. Kevin called

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 3>me lazy and I pulled up.

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Kevin called you lazy.

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I will never let Kevin live it down for the

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 3>rest of his life and mine. Whoever goes first put

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 3>it on my tombstone.

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Kevin, what did you say?

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>It's Kevin, Remind the people what you said.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Look, and I grew up watching American Idol, right, and

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you watch these judges. Simon mostly was like he was mean,

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of the time he was right. Yes,

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 2>and I always I mean, we're all the same in

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>this way. We're like, if you give me, if you

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 2>put me in the position to be that person, oh

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>let me. However, when you when I got on set,

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 2>because that was my mind set going into the Glee project,

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Oh, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna be

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>a bitch. Yeah, but when you get there and you

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>see all like everyone talented children, everyone's living under these

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 2>conditions that I wasn't even sure about, right, and you're

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>not Like I can't do that to these kids and

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where they come from if they can

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 2>handle it, Like who am I?

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I also just got hired on this random show. However,

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I looked at Alex.

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, oh, this bitch is good, and

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>guess who knows it? Alex does, and I could something

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>jumped out of me. Oh it was because like I

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 2>can't let how I felt was we all know how

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>good you are, like please shut them down, like you

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>can't phone it in, yeah, because it's easy for you.

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Like I feel like your resting is better than most

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>peop people. Was going full out, and so it was

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>like I didn't know like where you were in your

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 2>head during that time, like what was going on at all?

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>So like who am I to go up and be

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>like you need to do more like my dad? But

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 2>it was just something I just was.

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Like, oh, this is good.

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean we all knew and not even to cheat

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 3>my own horn. It was just like I I really

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 3>just was different than everybody, and not to like brag

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 3>about it, Like the mechanism that I have was just

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 3>so different than everybody there. It's like, you want to sing.

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I know how to sing. I've been singing for my

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 3>life and bread and butter since I was two.

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I have like a when I hear people

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 2>sing like that, I have, you know, like all the

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>already hands like going up and that's just me. Yeah,

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>like I can't, I can't help it. It jumps out

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>of my body. And so when I saw you sing

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 2>for the first time, that's what happened. And I was

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 2>just like I need, like I want to selfishly, like

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear this on a ten right now.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>And I know you're just like cruising out of six.

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 3>Cruised out of six, But you know, it's also the

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 3>scared the scarcity of not the scarcity of the scaredness

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 3>of it all of being eighteen and thrown into this

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 3>wild circumstance with this myriad of different talents from everywhere

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 3>and trying to figure out one how you last and

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 3>one how you shine at the same time. And somehow

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 3>I was trying to play nice to everybody, but it

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 3>wasn't really working, and we love a good editor, because

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 3>between me and Lindsay had a peers we were the

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 3>bitches of the season. It's because we always I mean

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 3>in theater you have to know, like you're going to

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 3>hear a lot of nose and you have to create

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.039
<v Speaker 3>this thick skin around that. And I think we come

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 3>in knowing that we're very confident, but then that doesn't

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 3>read well even if you're being nice and trying to

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 3>just coast on die.

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 1>No, it's an immediate villain edit for you.

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, right, which is crazy?

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which was And you both come in there like

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 2>trained can seeing your faces off. And we talked to

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Damien and Damien was like, I didn't know what I

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>was doing in that. Damien also has a very different voice,

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>but had been on tour station in a different way,

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and so it was like all these people were like

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 2>why why are we here with these people? And why

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 2>are we here with those people?

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 3>It's just the different people that we're around. And also

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 3>seep sleep deprivation. I mean we were woken up to

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 3>just lights being on, like it's pitch black darkness, and

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 3>then all of a sudden you hear the ripcord of

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 3>the generator and then like studio lights come on and

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 3>you're just like, ah, okay.

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, well you have to just shoot in

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the school, right, So it was like at the odd

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>hours of when they were not no, sorry.

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 3>We shot on a campsite.

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they were like in the woods.

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 3>We were in the woods in a campsite in Glendale.

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like dusty.

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Like the boys had their own uh what do they

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 3>call it, little turret, not a turret, little cabin, and

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.119
<v Speaker 3>the girls had their own little turret cabin over here,

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 3>and then there was like a bathroom cabin in the middle.

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 3>So like to get to the girl's turret, I don't

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 3>know why that word sounds so wonderful right now, we

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 3>had to like walk outside. But also every elimination day

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 3>it chowse like it wanted to rain. I don't know

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 3>what was happening in La when I got when I

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.000

<v Speaker 3>conditions and you're outside in the mud because it's raining

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 3>every day, you're in your boots. And then on top

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 3>of that, it was like, y'all, can we have like

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 3>a housekeeper come and clean the bathrooms because it's a

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.240

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 3>me that I was the first person that didn't win

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 3>the Glee Project and then got on the show and

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 3>never left. Well, I eventually left.

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:24.839
<v Speaker 1>So you and Lindsay both won?

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 3>Are we both won consolation prizes of two episodes and

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>a song on the Christmas album?

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Right? Right?

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:33.199
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>And then what was it like getting a call? Who

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>called you?

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure it was just my agent being like, hey, bitch,

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 3>you're flying out. And I was also in my high

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 3>school mind you, yeah, and it came at this No,

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm very just very experienced. No, I was my junior

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 3>years when I filmed the Glee Project, and then my

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 3>senior year is when I did my first episode of Glee,

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 3>the Glee Project couldn't tell anybody about it until it

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 3>started airing or until like so, so we finished. We

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:20.559
<v Speaker 3>finished filming in February of my junior year, which is

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 3>what twenty eleven, and then it aired that same summer.

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 3>So I came into my senior year a star, very fame,

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 3>very famous. I was already famous because I was only

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 3>a black kid in my school, but like very even

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 3>more famous. But no, my agent just called, She's like,

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 3>you're leaving, and I remember because I had just booked

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 3>what did I book Chicago at my theater for first

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.479
<v Speaker 3>senior year musical and couldn't do it.

0:10:55.800 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>It was very straight, it's done to Hollywood.

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 2>We so when you got to Glee, we just watched

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 2>your episode. Let me tell you, thank god you ended

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>up on the show. I know because you're like Wade's

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:26.719
<v Speaker 2>first interaction and also just the pairing of like Chris

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>and Amber together that whole magical that was absolutely right.

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 2>And then when you show up as you need and

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:42.959
<v Speaker 2>that fully realized, and it was also just I don't

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 2>know the contrast to seeing you as Wade and then

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Unique and then performing boogie Shoes was just like, yeah,

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 2>ship on.

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Them, right, what was boogy Shoes?

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Like that song? It's so ingrained in my brain now

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 3>if anything else is that one right there. I remember

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 3>every ounce of it. I remember even hearing Tiffany's guide

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 3>vocal for the first time. I was like sitting in

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.719
<v Speaker 3>a hotel in West Hollywood because I had flown out

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 3>the night before recording and they sent it to me

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 3>and I literally started sobbing. I was like, this is

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 3>so good. And then I get into the studio and

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 3>just fully go unhinged singing. And then I'm in the

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Powerhouse with Zach and Brook when all these gorgeous, gorgeous dancers,

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, I can't keep up. I can't keep up.

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.560
<v Speaker 3>And then the shoe was walking and I said, I

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:43.199
<v Speaker 3>definitely can't keep up. And there were some tallest seals

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 3>because I I just kept pushing myself and pushing myself

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 3>because I really wanted it, and I really wanted it

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 3>to make a splash, because I was the last one.

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Damien had started, Sam had started, Lindsay had already done

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 3>her thing, Danny Go was tapping the house down boots

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 3>and it was just like the run of the group

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 3>me just trying to make it up as you go,

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 3>because I mean here hearing that you weren't the win

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 3>of the Glee Project and then dealing with all like

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 3>the backlash from the fans that watch the Glee Project

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 3>where you're not the forerunner and nobody likes you and

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 3>everybody likes the the Irish brogue or the outcast for

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 3>the Dreadlocks or the Broadway princess like Lindsay, and then

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 3>here you come. You're just like, ah, I know how

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 3>to say, I know what I say pretty well. But

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 3>it was very nice you do enlightening seeing it for

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 3>the first time, and like just in englfing what that

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 3>experience was. It was very cathartic at that time. I mean, like,

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 3>who would know that you were just a teenager in

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 3>your freshman year and your boyfriend at the time like

0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 3>tells you about this magical television show and you watched

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 3>a pilot on the YouTube, and then you become a

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 3>fan of all these lovely people on the lovely Glee

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Show and then you're on it. It's stupid. It doesn't

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 3>happen that way, right, and honestly shouldn't happen that way.

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 3>It was wild. I mean, I remember Brooke walking up

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 3>to me and she's like, I know what you're doing

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 3>with your face. Stop it smile And I said.

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Oh my god, I said, sure.

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Babe, I can smile. And then you know, then you're

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 3>called back to do another episode that you weren't supposing.

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.720
<v Speaker 3>You're like, well, that's it. They're like, no, this isn't it.

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna do another one as well. But then this

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 3>one is just like a cutaway. We just put you

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 3>in the script. Put you in the script, and I

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 3>said okay, and then you're lifted up by all the

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 3>gorge gorgeous boy dancers and a split lift. Yeah, I

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 3>might have a hamstring, but like, yeah, and you got

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 3>to work with Jay Groff. Yes, my babies.

0:14:58.480 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Amazing.

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy to think even to think how I kind

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 3>of just fit into this world back then?

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you did? How did you?

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>How did it feel coming on to set with everyone?

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 2>And I mean because in that episode you we didn't

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 2>really get to work with you at all. You you worked

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 2>with Amber and Chris, Amber and Chris the best and Sean.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. The first person to greet me when I got

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 3>to uh uh base camp was Leah. Hm. The very

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 3>first one. She was very warm, she was very inviting.

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 3>She welcomed me with open arms, and I can hold

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 3>that to be true. Yeah, I had no qualms back then.

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Hm.

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 3>I was like, work, bitch, this is your show. I'm

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 3>just here for a few I'm just for a little pal.

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm not even near your little show choir yet.

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I haven't touched it.

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, hebby, I'm at a whole other school. I don't

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 3>know what from me, baby girl.

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 1>When you did come over, though, it did feel like

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you just fit in.

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why that was though.

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just a personality that wasn't it like we all have.

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I like, I don't know a world in which we

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>don't get along.

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Same, And maybe that's it.

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 3>I think it was just and I mean we weren't

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 3>around each other outside before we started doing everything, even

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 3>before I even walked in, because I was at the

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Little Glee movie premiere. Come on three D, right, come

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 3>on three D? I have a three D film. I

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 3>still understand where the three D came in at Was

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 3>it they that came in at the Green? I don't

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 3>know where three D was.

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 1>It had to be three D that was real and yeah, yeah,

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you were around. I was around, Now were you? Like

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 1>most people newcast members who came in were week to

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 1>week where a script would show up on their door

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and they'd say, oh, wow, I guess I'm doing another episode.

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Was that the same for you?

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 3>I think so?

0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Were you flying back to school like in between episodes?

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 3>No, because I graduated high school after season three, got

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.920
<v Speaker 3>it okay, and I was on my way to Berkeley

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.680
<v Speaker 3>School of Music on my little scholarship to you know,

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.400
<v Speaker 3>ooh and and struggles as a college kid and being

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 3>did and then my agent called us, Ryan said, to

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 3>to Hollywood. We'll give you this little ten thousand relocation fee,

<v Speaker 3>Make it work.

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Some of my favorite memories. You were in that newer

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 1>class like one, Jacob and Becca and Melissa and everybody

0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>joined us and we created like our new group of people. Yea,

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and boy did we have fun.

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh we had too much fun.

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 2>It was so much fun. And it was I was

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.439
<v Speaker 2>worried too, because it was like everyone that we knew

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>that we had like going away. Yeah, like half of

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 2>them left and like, oh, thank God.

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Like all of you are so cool.

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.879
<v Speaker 3>It's what you said about personality. It's I think that

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 3>it was like a good group of people that did

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.920
<v Speaker 3>mesh well together or knew what like the greater good

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 3>of making a sixteen hour day less shitt.

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right. We really, I mean really did

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 1>some ridiculous things.

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Like I'll never forget that Christmas episode Becus boy Child,

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 3>my God, and Jenna looking at me and listening like

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 3>drink chugging mountain dew. Oh my god, we're not worried

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 3>about our sperm count, ladies, And I said help.

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>That's that's right, I said help. In our white outfits

0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>were our wipe arrays like talking.

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:06.400
<v Speaker 3>It was like, but seeing Mary's boy Child, I will

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 3>always go back and look at that thing and look

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 3>at the one mistake that haunts me for the rest

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 3>of my life.

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 1>What is that one?

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what I was where I was. I

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 3>was in the white room, and we were doing one

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 3>piece of choreography, like a little gyration, and somehow it

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 3>just snuck up on me.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, roar, We're like, you know, trap across the stage.

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.159
<v Speaker 3>I've never thought in my life I would see a

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 3>man in a wheelchair heeded across the stage.

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, please fall, I could collect an insurance check.

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there were some dark times in that show,

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 3>but like somehow I wanted to be there most days.

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you got me through too. Like I looked at

0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 2>during that Christmas episode. I hit a wall one night

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, I don't have to do half

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 2>the shit Alex is doing this episode like you had

0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:23.120
<v Speaker 2>to do some crazy shit.

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 3>I gave birth to black baby Jesus.

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you came up to me and you're like,

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.520
<v Speaker 2>we're just we're just don't make belief.

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like I needed to hear that, thank you.

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.959
<v Speaker 3>It is adult. Make believe. It can't be that serious

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.440
<v Speaker 3>all the time. We're not curing cancer, all right, We're

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 3>changing lives sometimes, yes, but me giving birth to black

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 3>baby Jesus and a glitter diaper not changing lives.

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 1>That was a Saturday too when we shot that number,

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 1>wasn't it though?

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:48.879
<v Speaker 3>It was?

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember vividly those sequins scratching the side of my

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>armpits so badly.

0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 3>The City Hawkins dress that Vanessa wore was like she

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.800
<v Speaker 3>was bleeding for her art and I said, it shouldn't

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:02.080
<v Speaker 3>be this.

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Deep, literally, it should not be this deep for her art.

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:15.159
<v Speaker 1>I was like, and she had like all across her

0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and she never complained. It was a sweet little thing,

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:20.879
<v Speaker 1>like the blood cloth.

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.159
<v Speaker 3>I was like, couldn't be me.

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 2>No, she think she had been like physically abused in

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 2>front of us.

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Tell me I was perfectly always good to walk into

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.680
<v Speaker 3>the wardrobe trailer and make my new costume and walk

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:37.639
<v Speaker 3>on set. Did you do that all the time they

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 3>would send They would set an outfit and I'd be like,

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 3>absolutely not, and I'll just walk in and I'd look

0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:46.680
<v Speaker 3>at Jen and be like, baby, we're not doing this.

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Hand me this, because you know, they the whole premise

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 3>of like Unique. I almost said, Monique, Wow, racism is real.

0:21:54.720 --> 0:22:00.479
<v Speaker 3>Unique was like she was wearing her mother's clothes. So

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 3>I was just in, like the finest of Lane Bryant

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 3>like the finest of Lane Bryant and like the top

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:13.680
<v Speaker 3>tier of tour Rid and you know, they got dark

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:19.920
<v Speaker 3>real fast, so where everything was just like falling off

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 3>of me. The entire time. I was just like, I'm

0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 3>really not that fat.

0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Everything are coming into like the classroom with kids Drenk.

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Looking like I didn't belong to I'm like, everybody.

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:38.560

<v Speaker 1>You're like, I don't know. I have no idea.

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 3>And then there were days that I'd be wigless and

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:44.640
<v Speaker 3>I'd like, I really don't know what's going on.

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Those were the days, right, Yeah, I.

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Was like, I have no idea. What was this person

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 3>talking about? A character with like identity crisis? I mean yes,

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 3>but still.

0:22:55.440 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, I.

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:03.119
<v Speaker 2>Didn't see you like that aspect of it was like

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 2>thoughtful to you, like the identity of it all because

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 2>it was one of them.

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.400

<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, oh, so this is what it is,

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 3>because remember that time, they did not tell any of

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 3>us who the catfish was.

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:25.760

0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Like, we can me stop calling a kid kater, like

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 3>we know it's me. They were like what really, yes, yes,

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 3>so right, like it is the obvious tell story right.

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:15.720

<v Speaker 1>You you how is that?

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 2>As someone who watched the show and was a fan

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 2>of this show and then you end up on the show.

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 3>And you watch what the show is, it.

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 4>Starts becoming really crazy, unhinged, unhinged.

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 3>It was strange, but like then you really just I mean,

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:55.440

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 3>But that's why I was so quiet most of season

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.400
<v Speaker 3>for quiet Esque, because I was just watching.

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I was just absorbing. When did I walk out of

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 1>with the porter potty? Do you remember that one? Uh

0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:34.240

<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, it's great.

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:49.680
<v Speaker 3>The end of work where a wig was thrown down.

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 3>You know the shittiest part about that scene where the

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 3>wig was thrown off. I sat there on the Glee

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:59.400
<v Speaker 3>set for about three hours trying to make the peak

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 3>contraption because I was supposed to be so scared that

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 3>I peed on myself. It eventually got cut because it

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 3>was just like I was giving birth to a child.

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Because it wasn't just this gorgeous cinematic stream coming down

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:18.159
<v Speaker 3>my leg. It was just like what it was just

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 3>like ah, and I was like, this is not cute.

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:23.640
<v Speaker 1>We were going for It's.

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't think y'all gonna use this, but there

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I am just standing there singing if I were born

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 3>wet for three dates.

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Al just just oh god, oh my god.

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 3>What I do remember that episode was I had a

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:43.640
<v Speaker 3>breakdown because you know who wouldn't be triggered and traumatically

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 3>stressed by being bullied in the bathroom. And Wendy looked

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:51.199
<v Speaker 3>at me and said, what do you need? And I

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 3>was just like, smoothie. I got that damn smoothie.

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Both and then I spilled it on myself on that

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:06.240
<v Speaker 1>white top. Oh my god, sweet Wendy, Sweet Wendy.

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sweet, sweet Wendy.

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 1>That was a big storyline for you.

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 3>That was the That was the biggest one. O than

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 3>the catfish one, Darling. Oh my god, oh the cat

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:20.600
<v Speaker 3>I was put to the ringer. They were like underdog,

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 3>where can we put the underdog? And what's beneath the underdog?

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Cat fish?

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:34.399
<v Speaker 3>Truly in the toilet? What a time. And then just

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 3>rolling around on a star bus.

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 1>That was fun, unhinged.

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:44.560
<v Speaker 3>But very fun.

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:49.200
<v Speaker 2>It was fully school like field trip schooled out. Yeah,

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Becca and I got drunk.

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Brooks hiding in the back of the on the top

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:59.960
<v Speaker 1>of the truck laying down always we're on the top

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of the bus right and you're going down like towards

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the Hollywood sign. By way, that bus was rickety as hell.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 1>But the trees when they were like, dump, the trees

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>are going to hit the branches are going to hit you,

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>we were like, we've made it. We really made it.

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Top tier work.

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Also, at that point, the headlines we were all talking

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 2>about like could you imagine this show was like the

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 2>biggest thing on the planet, and then during production just

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 2>wiped out.

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Branches. Well, and that's what you really missed. Yeah, they

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 3>all they all got to capitate it, honey.

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 2>But nope, we stayed alive to make it to Pink's

0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:41.959
<v Speaker 2>Hot Dogs.

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, the fact that we made that day is quite stunning.

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Every day felt like that, really, yes, exactly, astonishing that

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>we made our day or just seeing wrong.

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Ryan didn't come down and say, I didn't improve this,

0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I didn't I don't know what you're wearing.

<v Speaker 3>I remember they filmed that whole entire rooftop scene. Uh,

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Heather and Darren and then Ryan came down and said, nope,

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:09.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't like to set.

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I remember when we're hearing about that, right.

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh, so can I go home because I have to

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 3>see it? I can go, Okay, bye, I'll see y'all later.

0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 2>It was I wish people could understand how it was

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 2>so high school, oh, because we would it was fully

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 2>just games of telephone all day long, because Alex would

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 2>hear that then for example, like might text us and

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 2>be like, oh my god, I saw this thing, Like oh,

0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:36.840
<v Speaker 2>so then we're not getting called in later, so then

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 2>like we might have tonight off, and so we were

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 2>all just God, we were assuming.

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Planning our days because you know when you work that

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 3>long of hours, which I never understood the term friturday

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 3>until I'm sitting at a circus in the middle of paramount.

0:29:55.240 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Pictures on a tilt whirl the tilted worl scare for

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 1>my life.

0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm still that wheelchair should be in the Smithsonian because

0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:07.720
<v Speaker 3>how they rigged that bitch? Oh no, no, no, they

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:13.360
<v Speaker 3>just made you because the wheelchair was on there for

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 3>a second. I was like, insurance check again.

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 1>No, No, that wouldn't have worked.

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 3>That wouldn't have worked. That that is a liability because

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 3>had it come flying at me, I would own a lot.

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Of things, Yes, and it was like, physics tells me

0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:30.400
<v Speaker 1>that for.

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Trifical force is not going to keep that metal hunka

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 3>hunkah down.

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 1>How many times did we do that until the world

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 1>thing I got sick.

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 3>I think we only did it like a handful of

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 3>times because that's enough.

0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>That was enough.

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 3>They couldn't stop it midway. So it was like a

0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 3>minute ride.

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Each and it was the only time I've ever done

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 2>that in real life until to Worl. I think probably

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 2>like any of those carnival rites, because I think it

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:54.320
<v Speaker 2>was like, well, this should be safe, right because they

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 2>have to protect this.

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Why would you think that, I don't know, why would

0:30:58.640 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 3>you think that naive?

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I was even nice?

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Both the cars alone could have broken somebody. Oh, because

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:08.440
<v Speaker 3>there was there was a camera on each one of them.

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's when Mandy Moore was choreographing. Right, Yes,

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 1>we need a different choreographer for a little bit.

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 3>That's Cod's collaborators, cohorts.

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>One might say, that's right, now, can you on this show?

0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 3>I thought I was just acting, Jenna, Well.

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Call it what you will. What was it? Do you

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 1>have a favorite song or a song that you loath singing?

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:41.239
<v Speaker 1>What does a fox say to this day, you and

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Kevin with my fist up my likeness and image right, yes,

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 1>somebody they offered to like.

0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Us to buy them at the end of the season.

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Five thousand dollars.

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Mine was ten.

0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, she's more expensive. Wow. I was like that

0:31:57.960 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 1>wig better be made from my own.

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:10.440
<v Speaker 3>God, damn here, just just cut off. Oh that was

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 3>my least favorite. My favorite, I mean coming rising like

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:17.680
<v Speaker 3>a phoenix out of the ashes was Diamonds Are Girl's

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Best Friend, only because the day before I had a

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:25.040
<v Speaker 3>fever beyond fevers, like I should not have been standing.

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 3>That's when they brought the set medican and said, please

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 3>go home. Oh really, I'm always filmed that scene in

0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 3>the bathroom right before the song.

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I was dead, just like printed primming and right, that's right, And.

0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 3>I literally was dead.

0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I was deaf, I was hot death mmmm fever.

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 3>I should have been in the hospital, I probably, but no,

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, I didn't know, didn't feel like it. I

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 3>wanted to be there and I wanted to be a

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 3>team player. Didn't speak in the scene glorified extra.

0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 1>That's always the worst one when you're like, I don't

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 1>need to be here. And I also shouldn't be here glorified.

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean that was most of season four.

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>It was most of our tour.

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:17.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm just like, y'all are really paying me a lot

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 3>of money to sit here. I'm not going to and

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna let you know that. I know that,

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 3>right because I'm smarter than that, and I have bills

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 3>to pay because I'm eighteen.

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 1>You came in like you were thirty guys.

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Imagine me having to come in with these veterans and

0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 3>acting like a child. Y'all did that enough?

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 1>See?

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 2>But that mentality, that perspective alone, It's like, not everybody's

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 2>coming in with this.

0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 3>They couldn't. I was happy to be there, but I

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:48.640
<v Speaker 3>also knew that I had to task at hand.

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Was there any time do you remember like I have,

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know handfuls of stories where I either loved

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 2>being in the recording studio or like, had a terrible

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 2>time in your quarter studio. Because you are a vocalist,

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 2>did you enjoy the recording process?

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes yes, sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think.

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Alex God scooping to the note.

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.480
<v Speaker 3>I would never want to scoop to anybody's note. I

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:22.720
<v Speaker 3>was like, I just sang it. It was kitch person,

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 3>what do you mean scoop up to? Okay? It's not okay.

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 3>But Alex got very meticulous because I am a vocalist

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.560
<v Speaker 3>and he's like, honey, I'm not going to sit here

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 3>and edit these vocals. You don't sing it perfectly.

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 1>He brought out the best. He really did. He was

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 1>so it was so infuriating at the time. Yes, he

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:41.200
<v Speaker 1>really did push you though, to the point where you're like, oh,

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I guess I can do it if I needed to.

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean I sang I sang Sergeant Pepper's Only Heart

0:34:47.719 --> 0:34:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Club band that Top Harmony until I was actually just screaming.

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 3>I was like, sir, I don't get nothing else in me.

0:34:58.200 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>The thing is that you go back and it's like

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:01.879
<v Speaker 2>nobody's getting a cleaner vocal.

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:03.359
<v Speaker 1>No way, no.

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 3>But I mean I was the hollers, the holeration, like

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:16.480
<v Speaker 3>it's still iconic. It's still iconic, Like it's stuck in

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:19.480
<v Speaker 3>my brain and I can't listen to Katy Carry's Wide

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Away without thinking.

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:22.720
<v Speaker 1>About me God wide Away.

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:26.200
<v Speaker 3>There are a lot of songs that I can't listen

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:27.879
<v Speaker 3>to without thinking of the versions of Glee.

0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, the amount of times that we would also

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:35.240
<v Speaker 2>just do them like they are pounded into our brains. Yes,

0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:38.720
<v Speaker 2>because you do them for an hour in the recording studio,

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:40.920
<v Speaker 2>then you do them for eight hours on set.

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:43.719
<v Speaker 1>And then you wake up the next day thinking about it.

0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, or the crew member would be singing it

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the next day.

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:50.319
<v Speaker 2>You're like, pay if you see me out in Like

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I have been in public at bars or something and

0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 2>somebody to leve will come on and I'll be in

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the corner by myself just doing the background.

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:13.240
<v Speaker 1>So then Alex, then you did another musical TV show.

0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I've done three Darling Okay, I did one episode of Empire.

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:28.960
<v Speaker 3>That's right, honey. Listen. Every meeting it's like, so, what's

0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:32.239
<v Speaker 3>your next musical project? I'm like, can I not? I've

0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 3>been singing for my supper since i was eighteen?

0:36:34.480 --> 0:36:37.839
<v Speaker 1>BIB What were those like after doing Glee? And then

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.120
<v Speaker 1>also were they similar or were they different?

0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, coming back and coming off of Glee, anything

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:50.440
<v Speaker 3>was possible, right, I mean doing Zoe's was such a

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:54.360
<v Speaker 3>walk in the park, mainly because it was a minute

0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:58.399
<v Speaker 3>steady cam maybe like three to four takes and you're done.

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 3>But I also didn't I sang a lot on that show,

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:04.520
<v Speaker 3>but I didn't do so there was the concept of

0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:08.080
<v Speaker 3>like her hearing heart songs and that kind of thing.

0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 3>A majority of the time that I sang on the show,

0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:14.319
<v Speaker 3>it was like out in real life, like they just

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:17.759
<v Speaker 3>made the character a singer. So I didn't do that

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 3>many heart songs. I think over like the the seasons,

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:25.439
<v Speaker 3>I did like six and I like did five other

0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:28.440
<v Speaker 3>or something. Got it, But it's like it's it was

0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:32.760
<v Speaker 3>always just so easy because like I'm also not doing

0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:36.799
<v Speaker 3>multiple camera angles and takes and we didn't get it.

0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 3>And also we weren't filming with film. It was digital.

0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't that sound so nice? Like three or four of

0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the steady cam and then you're done with a radical

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:48.040
<v Speaker 1>number and then it's over. That was like the last

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:53.800
<v Speaker 1>setup for us. I I don't get it what it was.

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:57.200
<v Speaker 3>But also like the scenes, I didn't have to act

0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:58.880
<v Speaker 3>with seventeen other people in the room.

0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>It was like two barely.

0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:04.600
<v Speaker 3>I was always attached to her hip, so there was

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 3>always two cameras on either of us.

0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:38:10.160 --> 0:38:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Is this what TV is? Like? Is this what people

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:17.880
<v Speaker 3>keep coming back to? Right without like truly like yeah,

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:22.440
<v Speaker 3>sitting there for hours upon end because you think about

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 3>sitting in a choir room full of twelve people. You

0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:28.279
<v Speaker 3>have to get everybody's reaction to every minute detail and

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:28.840
<v Speaker 3>then turn it.

0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Around right and then do something weird with it, and

0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:37.239
<v Speaker 1>then have a directors put their little spin on it.

0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:42.560
<v Speaker 1>And costumes Katy Perry costume, cupcake costumes, you know.

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 3>Yes, put us in the largest costumes and then say

0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:49.840
<v Speaker 3>walk to the door. I don't fit right, Oh you

<v Speaker 3>on TV match.

0:38:57.080 --> 0:39:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Cut cut, and then it's at delay to figure out

0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 2>how we work the person out.

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:08.560

<v Speaker 3>sun sun still up.

0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:26.600

<v Speaker 3>I'm just out here doing musical television for the rest

0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 3>of my life. Who would have thought that little reality

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 3>competition would have got me that far? Yes, I will

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:25.400

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I deserve no credit, but I will secretly take it.

0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:28.480
<v Speaker 3>He said.

0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't be lazy.

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Said okay, don't you sit in a chair all day?

0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I do the guilt.

0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:42.319
<v Speaker 2>I felt like that leapt out of my mouth.

0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, does it keep you up? And

0:40:44.000 --> 0:40:45.839
<v Speaker 1>is it one of those that you replay in your mind, Kevin?

0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Or you don feel that at all?

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay? But who asked you? You know what? I think

0:40:53.600 --> 0:40:55.719
<v Speaker 3>I partially owned Jenna's first Tony.

0:40:55.920 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 5>You do Yes, it was the whistle tone on the

0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:05.359
<v Speaker 5>Tony performance that actually did win that They were like, well,

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:06.400
<v Speaker 5>let's change the envelope.

0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Bitch this one. It's this one, just screaming into the

0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:15.719
<v Speaker 1>either like, hey, remember who didn't get nominated the whistletone,

0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I screamed.

0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:20.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I was on so much, so many drugs

0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:24.319
<v Speaker 3>that night, not like bad ones, like roided out of

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:28.720
<v Speaker 3>my mind and I had at least a whole milligram

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:31.279
<v Speaker 3>of Xanax in my system. My body was.

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Relaxed as a possible through trendizone.

0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:40.399
<v Speaker 3>Thretnos own alone, the Lord that strengthens me, because let

0:41:40.400 --> 0:41:42.480
<v Speaker 3>me tell you, that was the tone came out from

0:41:43.080 --> 0:41:45.920
<v Speaker 3>my my dreams and hopes and aspirations.

0:41:45.239 --> 0:41:48.480
<v Speaker 1>In life, and it was I felt that it was.

0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 3>I have never done a whistletone directly in the center

0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:51.319
<v Speaker 3>of it.

0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:56.320
<v Speaker 1>It was just you. Just I threw my remote. It

0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:59.440
<v Speaker 1>just said, it's like I hit a button on a keyboard.

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:03.759
<v Speaker 1>It was strepid. And I've watched a lot of bootlegs

0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:05.440
<v Speaker 1>of you, and.

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:08.759
<v Speaker 3>Chones never came out that way on stage. I mean

0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:11.000
<v Speaker 3>there was one that it was just so flat on

0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 3>the bootleg. I said, baby, you don't have to be impressive.

0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:18.640
<v Speaker 3>These people are from Middle America. They don't give a damn.

0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:24.239
<v Speaker 1>But it's just one time to do it properly televised.

0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:27.040
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right. It was.

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, Kevin will take credit for Alex, Alex will take

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:33.719
<v Speaker 1>credit for my Tony. We'll just all take credit for

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 1>each other.

0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:39.680
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the best way. That's a functional healthy.

0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:40.040
<v Speaker 1>H I think I think.

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:41.759
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, as long as you're good with it. I

0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:43.839
<v Speaker 2>in the back of my head, I'm like, I can't

0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:46.960
<v Speaker 2>be that story of like Brandy tells. You know, if

0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Brandy's like a teacher told me that I will never

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:50.600
<v Speaker 2>be anything, it's like.

0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh I did that to my middle school math teacher,

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:59.319
<v Speaker 3>English teacher. She literally looked at me one day and said, oh,

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:03.439
<v Speaker 3>your work ethic will never amount to much. Wow.

0:43:04.840 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell the people something? On that note? Though,

0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 2>On that note, anytime I've seen Alex in New York postally, nobody,

0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:19.720
<v Speaker 2>nobody works more and harder.

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Than Alex. She's ever on a stage set, always no

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>happy medium.

0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh let's let's do we forget the like independent musical

0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:32.840
<v Speaker 2>artists career.

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:38.439
<v Speaker 3>I did that one of my songs, just my silver Oh,

0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:40.839
<v Speaker 3>like I would be.

0:43:40.840 --> 0:43:44.280
<v Speaker 2>In the streets like of London and like that's Alex

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:47.000
<v Speaker 2>r Just I'm going.

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:48.680
<v Speaker 3>There to do Pippen next. I can't wait to meet

0:43:48.680 --> 0:43:56.440
<v Speaker 3>my public concert at the Palladium. It's going to be lovely.

0:43:57.200 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goshing leading player. I love that for you.

0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 3>I am a full fledged wore in both ways. I'm

0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:08.840
<v Speaker 3>always working and I.

0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Was let yeah, knew this is key. Okay, before we

0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:16.960
<v Speaker 1>let you go, can you tell us what the feeling

0:44:17.239 --> 0:44:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that Glee, your experience or the show leaves you with.

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:26.520
<v Speaker 3>What it leaves me with? You know, the show brought

0:44:26.560 --> 0:44:29.880
<v Speaker 3>me so much, like it as a whole Glee project,

0:44:29.880 --> 0:44:33.400
<v Speaker 3>and Glee, the word Glee and itself and the brand

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:36.360
<v Speaker 3>that it was. It gave me everything that I have today,

0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:39.800
<v Speaker 3>all the relationships that I cherish, of the experience that

0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:42.040
<v Speaker 3>I got to learn. I mean, I did that first

0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:46.000
<v Speaker 3>episode and I was truly never anybody's actor, and then

0:44:46.080 --> 0:44:48.959
<v Speaker 3>I learned what it was to be an actor, which

0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:53.440
<v Speaker 3>is so much. You don't get that experience if you

0:44:53.520 --> 0:44:55.600
<v Speaker 3>go to school and learn how to do it. And

0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:57.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm so happy that I got to have that experience

0:44:57.920 --> 0:45:01.440
<v Speaker 3>and just even was the good, the bad, and the ugly,

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:06.480
<v Speaker 3>and there was some really ugly ugly. It's something that

0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:10.560
<v Speaker 3>I look back on and very fondly wouldn't do it again,

0:45:11.400 --> 0:45:15.120
<v Speaker 3>would never do it again, but I loved what it

0:45:15.160 --> 0:45:15.520
<v Speaker 3>gave me.

0:45:16.080 --> 0:45:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Hmm, that's great, beautiful.

0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:21.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I could do it again. Now I'm

0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:23.279

<v Speaker 4>Oh god, I haven't. I don't even think I talked, okay,

0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:54.279
<v Speaker 4>so ask me questions. I mean, the last time I

0:47:55.120 --> 0:47:57.319
<v Speaker 4>smiled and laughed like that was actually when we were

0:47:57.600 --> 0:48:01.640
<v Speaker 4>with Alex when we saw Shucked, Well we didn't see Shocked.

0:48:01.680 --> 0:48:06.440
<v Speaker 4>We were out there for iHeart, for the event and

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:09.400
<v Speaker 4>for the podcast event, and then we went and we

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:13.120
<v Speaker 4>saw Alex afterwards after his show, and we went and

0:48:13.160 --> 0:48:16.480
<v Speaker 4>hung out and had some drinks and like laughed and reminisced.

0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:19.520
<v Speaker 1>And my cheeks hurt just like that. So always a

0:48:19.520 --> 0:48:21.680
<v Speaker 1>good time with Alex. And this is good. Maybe my

0:48:21.719 --> 0:48:25.080
<v Speaker 1>six sec will come back after this. So many memories,

0:48:25.560 --> 0:48:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Like It's funny, some of my more like vivid memories

0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:36.200
<v Speaker 1>are when like it's towards the end of the season.

0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's because it was sooner and there was like
