Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome to and that's what you really miss podcast.
Speaker 2: I'm Jenna, I am Kevin. Welcome, Yeah, welcome so much,
Speaker 2: Welcome so much. Yep, welcome so much everyone.
Speaker 1: Wow that we're doing today. Yeah, this is an exciting episode.
Speaker 1: And also we're recording on an off day, so it's
Speaker 1: like kind of fun and fresh.
Speaker 2: So fresh. I was so looking forward to this episode,
Speaker 2: and even as much as I was looking forward to it,
Speaker 2: I was still surprised, gooped and gagged by totally so
Speaker 2: much that happens in this episode. So many memories that
Speaker 2: we have. I don't know why. This is one of
Speaker 2: those ones that just sticks out to me right right,
Speaker 2: to both of us, a.
Speaker 1: Lot of memories. It's so weird, and he is the
Speaker 1: beginning of our era with Eric Stoltz are one of
Speaker 1: our favorite directors. I think maybe that might be why
Speaker 1: there's just so many Like it was like our eyes
Speaker 1: opened up a little bit on set, I think, and
Speaker 1: so yeah, let's let's just do it. Let's say there's
Speaker 1: still lots to talk about.
Speaker 2: Let's just do it. Season two, Episode four, Duets originally
Speaker 2: aired October twelfth, twenty ten.
Speaker 1: The number one song was still Just the Where You
Speaker 1: Are by Bruno Mars and number one movie was Wall
Speaker 1: Street Money Never Sleep.
Speaker 2: And there was quite the controversy this week back in
Speaker 2: twenty ten because the GQ magazine cover with Diana, Leah
Speaker 2: and Corey I believe it was shot by Terry Richardson.
Speaker 3: I believe, so they all know great but everyone looks
Speaker 3: stunning was a little controversial for our show.
Speaker 2: I'm not entirely sure why, because the things we talk
Speaker 2: about on the show I feel like match the content
Speaker 2: of this cover a little.
Speaker 1: Bit, a little bit. I just think that it was
Speaker 1: a like I think the it was a little racy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the exacts felt like this was a slight,
Speaker 1: a slight veer from the path of like the underdog
Speaker 1: of the characters. Maybe not the content of the show,
Speaker 1: but of the characters, because these gals look real sexy
Speaker 1: and Corey's got his hands in all the right places.
Speaker 2: I remember them when this came out and it was such.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think a lot of people knew that
Speaker 1: they did it, and then it came out and it
Speaker 1: was like, yes, they didn't ask for permission.
Speaker 3: They asked for forgiveness, forgiveness, I mean, hey, press is press.
Speaker 2: It was I think it was a great decision. It
Speaker 2: was a lot of controversy. It's one of those things
Speaker 2: where Fox was very good at, like protecting the image
Speaker 2: of the show, where I think we were because it
Speaker 2: was a high school show. They were protecting it like
Speaker 2: we were all high schoolers. Which was funny because you
Speaker 2: remember when we went to London the summer before and
Speaker 2: we did a talk show and Russell Brand was on
Speaker 2: it and I there wasn't enough We did do a
Speaker 2: promo for the show and there wasn't enough room on
Speaker 2: the couch for all of us, so I sat, I
Speaker 2: sat in his lap and then while the host Alan
Speaker 2: Carr was you know, doing the teaser or bump or
Speaker 2: whatever it was, Russell Brand and I started to fake
Speaker 2: make out on this couch in the background the whole time,
Speaker 2: and then Fox put the kebash. They're like, no, no,
Speaker 2: you can't use that. Oh I don't remember that, because
Speaker 2: I thought it was funny. I'm like, comedy, Oh, I.
Speaker 1: Remember you saying that, lat but I don't remember the
Speaker 1: making it.
Speaker 2: Or because you guys were looking at you were being
Speaker 2: professional and looking at and then I remember later that night,
Speaker 2: I think it was I then told what it was
Speaker 2: just you and me on that press and Matt Morrison
Speaker 2: was there.
Speaker 1: That's right for that.
Speaker 2: I don't know why it was then he was in
Speaker 2: a random story, but yeah. Then Ben Fox was like
Speaker 2: you did what. I was like, it's so funny, isn't it.
Speaker 2: They're like, hold please, and they made a call and
Speaker 2: got it killed and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, no, I don't No, It's like our Monico pictures.
Speaker 1: You never think it's going to make it to the
Speaker 1: ess And of course, okay, So we did something interesting
Speaker 1: also in advance of the Rocky Horror Glee episode, they
Speaker 1: decided to release the album, the Rocky Horror Album, the
Speaker 1: Tribute to the Picture Show. It was seven tracks from
Speaker 1: the episode and they were I guess they were teasing
Speaker 1: it to get excited.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were off the air for a week, so
Speaker 2: in between they put out this little soundtrack to preempt
Speaker 2: the airing of Rocky Horror, which is our next episode
Speaker 2: to review. Yes, so, like we said, Eric Stoltz incredible
Speaker 2: incredible actor. Eric Stoltz is also an incredible director and
Speaker 2: Eric came in this was his first episode of several
Speaker 2: with us and really, like you said, Jenna opened her
Speaker 2: eyes to so many things because he is an actor's director.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: And if you watch the show and I watched this
Speaker 2: episode through the eyes of all the little things that
Speaker 2: must have happened in the scenes because of him, Yes,
Speaker 2: you'll notice there's edits of reaction shots that linger just
Speaker 2: a little longer than they normally would have. There's less cuts.
Speaker 2: It's because he's he always wanted those real reactions where yes,
Speaker 2: you have like your main characters in the scenes, but
Speaker 2: he was really interested in making sure everyone got some
Speaker 2: screen time.
Speaker 1: Additionally, you notice that in a lot of the high
Speaker 1: school hallways there's always way more extras and way more
Speaker 1: people and things going on. So the thing about Eric
Speaker 1: was he talked to the extras. He gave them direction.
Speaker 1: He had kids making out in the hallway, he had
Speaker 1: kids throwing paper airplanes or like like joking with each other,
Speaker 1: and so it was a lot of like even the
Speaker 1: extras felt like they had something, an intention and something
Speaker 1: to do. And you know, I was like, the hallways
Speaker 1: are very crowded, and I was like, oh, this is Eric.
Speaker 2: There were all these little shots too, of like between
Speaker 2: people through arms of people that we had we hadn't
Speaker 2: done before, and that was and then really sweet.
Speaker 1: Additionally, there was a couple of things that Eric put
Speaker 1: In had. He had some rules and Eric was an
Speaker 1: actress director, and he did not let us have lines,
Speaker 1: scripts pages on set. So every morning when we got
Speaker 1: to work in our trailer would be all the scenes
Speaker 1: for the day that were that we were doing, and
Speaker 1: they would be on these little pieces of like rectangular paper.
Speaker 1: They were small, and the sides were and the the
Speaker 1: lines were really small, the text was small. We were
Speaker 1: not allowed to bring those onto set when Eric was directing.
Speaker 1: Normally most people have them in their hand in rehearsal,
Speaker 1: still kind of learning lines. I think there's a myriad
Speaker 1: of reasons why he did that, but a lot of
Speaker 1: it I think had to do with preparation. I kind
Speaker 1: of worked my way around it after a while, and
Speaker 1: I would take screenshots of the sides and bring me
Speaker 1: to set. Oh yeah, because even if I had done
Speaker 1: the preparation, I still like to look at my lines
Speaker 1: before I went into to shoot. So that was my
Speaker 1: process and so I just figured out a way around it.
Speaker 1: But it was really interesting and we were like, what
Speaker 1: he's making rules, he's doing what and some people were
Speaker 1: not like could care less. Some people cared a lot anyway.
Speaker 1: So that was one thing. And then another one, do
Speaker 1: you remember, was when we made our days. So making
Speaker 1: our days means that you complete your day and all
Speaker 1: the scenes you're supposed to do in it in twelve hours.
Speaker 1: Normally we would work fourteen sixteen hours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and sometimes you even have to drop a scene
Speaker 2: to pick up another day.
Speaker 1: Right. Eric generally would make his days and he would
Speaker 1: move very quickly, so we were kind of like whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: especially coming off the heels of Alfonso, which have you
Speaker 1: heard in our last podcast. Alfonso really like to take
Speaker 1: his time and it was very much with his eye
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was total opposite. So it was a
Speaker 1: lot of adjusting for us when like you know, you
Speaker 1: had your guest directors. But Eric was very efficient and.
Speaker 2: He'd show up in a suit. We met him before
Speaker 2: and he would come and talk to us and we'd
Speaker 2: talk through some things. Then it comes to actually shooting
Speaker 2: shooting day and he'd be in a full full suit.
Speaker 2: So cy yes, every single day.
Speaker 1: What a lovely person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he cared, you know, there were multiple times
Speaker 2: when he came back and he's like, I just wish
Speaker 2: like this happened. And there's like one line of this
Speaker 2: character saying this thing. Because he was so concerned about
Speaker 2: making sure the kids got represented fairly in the show
Speaker 2: and more screen time. You wanted screen time for everyone,
Speaker 2: and I think this is a perfect episode for him
Speaker 2: because everyone does have more screen time and Harry has
Speaker 2: several lines and you know things like at this point
Speaker 2: that he hadn't had a lot of lines, and so
Speaker 2: you know, Eric carried that torch. Yeah, for as long
Speaker 2: as he directed episodes of it. Will point out some
Speaker 2: things too, because he actually added some things scenes that
Speaker 2: were not scripted and because he thought they would be
Speaker 2: really nice thematically and story wise, theatrically to add in
Speaker 2: and it worked and they're beautiful. So there are a
Speaker 2: lot of songs in this episodes.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of songs in this episode because
Speaker 1: it really was about the songs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's not a lot of plot in this episode.
Speaker 2: There's not a whole lot of plot.
Speaker 1: Really great songs to be honest. Okay, so we've got
Speaker 1: what we got? What do we have?
Speaker 2: We have? Don't go breaking my heart? River Deep Mountain,
Speaker 2: High the jazz Hot sing with you, I'm Born Again
Speaker 2: and Happy Days are here again, Get Happy.
Speaker 1: And we're missing to two cast members, so there's no
Speaker 1: no Shoes, Lovester, no Jane in this episode, and surprisingly
Speaker 1: there's no.
Speaker 2: Mark Sally uh huh. And do you remember what.
Speaker 1: There were some issues with Mark making his own music
Speaker 1: mm hmm, and found to get so deep into it,
Speaker 1: it's not really our story.
Speaker 4: How.
Speaker 2: Well it personally pissed me off.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark made his own album, which he was not
Speaker 2: illegally allowed to do, and then just released it and
Speaker 2: then put it out and so he got in trouble
Speaker 2: and so basically it was like a punishment that you're
Speaker 2: suspended for an episode, but it's like getting suspended from school,
Speaker 2: right where he still got paid, right, he just didn't
Speaker 2: work for the week as far as I know, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, yeah, yeah, he was guaranteed, he was a
Speaker 1: series regular. He was guaranteed a certain amount of episodes
Speaker 1: and I think they were twenty two, so I think, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he got paid.
Speaker 2: Anyway, what happened, you know last season was I got
Speaker 2: in trouble because I was technically in a record contract
Speaker 2: with Geffen Records from the Boy man, I was in
Speaker 2: pre Glee and had to pay to get out of it,
Speaker 2: and Fox helped negotiate that. It was you know, Geffen
Speaker 2: wanted like three million dollars. Was like, what right, I'm
Speaker 2: so poor, and then yeah, they worked out a deal.
Speaker 2: Long story short, and so I was getting money taken
Speaker 2: out of my checks every week to pay this thing back, right,
Speaker 2: and then Mark knowing, I mean, that was Unknowingly, there
Speaker 2: was like a verbal agreement between Fox and Geffen and
Speaker 2: they both allowed me to do it. But of course
Speaker 2: there's nothing in writing, and Fox ended up apologizing to me,
Speaker 2: but there was So then Mark knowingly releases an album
Speaker 2: and gets off an episode and he gets paid.
Speaker 1: Well, you guys, and here's the I mean, at least
Speaker 1: there's no there's no like real like, oh you know
Speaker 1: this is better for you. You know, at least it
Speaker 1: was this. But Mark just released it literally into the universe,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that anybody really saw it, so
Speaker 1: there wasn't a huge record label, I promise, Okay, moving
Speaker 1: moving on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he was off for a couple episodes,
Speaker 2: Like I think it was like two or three episodes
Speaker 2: that he was paid vacation paid vacation.
Speaker 1: Okay. So in this episode, as the glee club gains
Speaker 1: a new member, mister grudov Street Sam Evans, there's a
Speaker 1: duets competition that changes a lot of relationships within the group.
Speaker 1: Finn and Rachel have their own little side thing going,
Speaker 1: and Kurt struggles to be Kurt struggles on being the
Speaker 1: only openly gay teenager in school and in the town,
Speaker 1: which affects all of this do at competition.
Speaker 2: So it does you know what, I think we should
Speaker 2: sort of start with because there's so little plot in
Speaker 2: this episode. Let's just get through the plot, which is
Speaker 2: basically Kurt. Yeah, because yeah, Kurt's got a couple of
Speaker 2: things going on. He sees Sam come in and he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's gay. He's got dyed blonde hair, Like he's on
Speaker 2: my team for sure. Yeah, and it's it is a
Speaker 2: little aggressive and you're like okay, and he sort of
Speaker 2: talks Sam into being his duet partner.
Speaker 1: Sweet Sam says yes, Sweet.
Speaker 2: Sam, Yes, and he's a good guy and he's great
Speaker 2: about it. And then Finn gets wind of this and
Speaker 2: it's like, you cannot do this. You're painting a target
Speaker 2: on his back and it's some of that high school
Speaker 2: like bs that is my favorite in Glee, when like
Speaker 2: the episodes aren't about anything but high school stuff, right,
Speaker 2: And then it's also so frustrating because these kids are
Speaker 2: like so naive, Like, come on, he's not painting, you know,
Speaker 2: putting a target on his back necessarily.
Speaker 1: Well, the sticks are always so high, right, it feels
Speaker 1: like everything is Yes, the stakes feel very high even
Speaker 1: though they're not. And that's what it's like in high school, right, yeah, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So Kurt, well, Finn gets wind of this. But then
Speaker 1: also on the side, Finn and Rachel are having this
Speaker 1: this conversation. I think they're going to win obviously the
Speaker 1: the dou at competition, and Rachel is weirdly selfishly but
Speaker 1: unselfishly trying to get somebody else to win to build
Speaker 1: morale so that they do win at regionals. And so
Speaker 1: their plan is they're going to get the new kid
Speaker 1: to win because that will boost timare keep him around
Speaker 1: and everybody will feel good that it's not.
Speaker 2: Just Chel and Rachel's bedroom of them plotting is so good,
Speaker 2: it's very good. I thought it was hilarious. And then
Speaker 2: you know, meanwhile, Kurt is having these issues with trying
Speaker 2: to figure out Sam's thing. He opens up to his
Speaker 2: dad and who's taken care of postheart attack, and Bert
Speaker 2: sort of doesn't side with Kurt and this, and it's like, well,
Speaker 2: like if he's not gad and also like you weren't
Speaker 2: totally forthcoming with me about the thing with the Finn
Speaker 2: thing because you also had a crush on Finn. And
Speaker 2: it's nice to show the perspective, like if you're the
Speaker 2: only out gay person, how else are you supposed to
Speaker 2: figure out if there's any if anybody else is gay
Speaker 2: without sort of being the aggressive one totally totally, And
Speaker 2: it presents that problem. And Bert's like, I think you're
Speaker 2: just gonna have to sort of suck it up for
Speaker 2: now until there's somebody as brave as you to be out.
Speaker 2: And so Kurt releases Sam from the duets of it all,
Speaker 2: and meanwhile Sam's been slushy cleaned up by Quinn. They
Speaker 2: have the most charming romantic scenes like.
Speaker 1: Yeah and and yeah. So Quinn and Sam end up
Speaker 1: being partners, winning the competition spoiler alert, and going to
Speaker 1: Breadsticks on a date and it's very very cute. The
Speaker 1: scenes are very intimate and charming.
Speaker 2: I needs me some breads.
Speaker 1: Okay, we were getting there. We're getting there. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so the competition, mister Shoe gives a little incentive for
Speaker 1: them to work hard. There's a prize and they win
Speaker 1: a free meal of breadsticks. And everybody's very excited about this.
Speaker 2: Verespecially when Santana Lopez.
Speaker 1: These are like some of the most ingrained like lines
Speaker 1: that she delivers.
Speaker 2: I also think like she's getting more and more stuff,
Speaker 2: you know, as the season goes on, and so she
Speaker 2: had a lot in this episode. I did not remember
Speaker 2: that half of these numbers were in this episode.
Speaker 1: Oh I did. I Well, to be fair, Yes, I
Speaker 1: know what you mean. They I was like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: this number. I just knew there were a lot of numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we did a lot of these numbers on tour. Yes,
Speaker 2: this episode's music stuck with us for so long.
Speaker 1: Totally totally. Okay, Well let's let's get into some of
Speaker 1: these duets.
Speaker 2: Let's just say, yeah, let's just talk about the duets,
Speaker 2: because I feel like this this episode is duets slash
Speaker 2: Riverdy Mountain High.
Speaker 1: Right. Well, we just talked we did lucky, right, So
Speaker 1: Quinn and Sam do a very cute rendition of Lucky,
Speaker 1: which we did on tour, which is also very cute,
Speaker 1: and I mean, let's just get to it. Let's let's
Speaker 1: talk about We Were Mountain High. It's one of the
Speaker 1: best numbers of the series if you asked me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is by far one of the greatest things
Speaker 2: that Clee contributed to pop culture.
Speaker 1: It actually only gets better every time you watch it.
Speaker 2: You know, like I even think them performing it. As
Speaker 2: soon as Amber opens her mouth, like, oh, she is
Speaker 2: full throated, full chested. Everyone warmed up that day and
Speaker 2: studio and those two had like a proper sing off
Speaker 2: because no one can keep up with Amber, but not
Speaker 2: ever it's fully keeping up with Amber and this number. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and the choreography phenomenal. We were dying again. It's one
Speaker 2: of those reformances where we were screaming actually during the
Speaker 2: filming of this, like yelling at them like we were
Speaker 2: out of meat and greet. We were at the Mercedes.
Speaker 1: And that's right, And you could see them getting riled
Speaker 1: up because of us, Like you could see them working
Speaker 1: harder because we were getting so riled like it was
Speaker 1: really fun. They were definitely worked off for energy and
Speaker 1: we I mean, I was we were there for it,
Speaker 1: and then every night on tour we also you'll see
Speaker 1: or you you know, if you've seen tour or any video,
Speaker 1: we're all doing the dance gaps in the back. We
Speaker 1: all know this dance. This is the best and this
Speaker 1: is the most fun and gosh, it's so good. And
Speaker 1: then the little line afterwards, like because we go in
Speaker 1: to Brits, they just had as rolling. I was rolling,
Speaker 1: screaming and rolling a good number.
Speaker 2: I what a good number. And what leads to this
Speaker 2: also is this magical scene between Brittany and Santana where
Speaker 2: they talk about late sweet lady kisses and scissoring, which
Speaker 2: one of our producers. How they found this out, I
Speaker 2: don't know, but it was the use of the term
Speaker 2: scissoring was the first time in American network television as well,
Speaker 2: was the first time it was used in a series
Speaker 2: with wide family viewership, and it got covered like internationally
Speaker 2: that was sissoring.
Speaker 1: We'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: Oh so good.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And it also, you know, more and more into the
Speaker 2: canon of Britanna of building that up because Santana's like,
Speaker 2: this isn't like real for me, I just need a
Speaker 2: warm body underneath me. Bommy talks and Juvi.
Speaker 1: That is my favorite quote.
Speaker 2: So many of these lines, and we.
Speaker 1: Have to talk about it obviously because of Brittany and
Speaker 1: Santana splitting up. In this episode. You and Brittany have
Speaker 1: a big storyline that really is a milestone for Arty.
Speaker 2: Aarty loses his v card this episode.
Speaker 1: That's big. That's big. It's the beginning of the Tina
Speaker 1: Mike triangle, already triangle and already loses his virginity to Brittany.
Speaker 2: The fear of having you know what was more nerve
Speaker 2: wracking than having Heather pick me up and put me
Speaker 2: into bed was doing that run at the beginning of
Speaker 2: the scene. Dude, Yeah, vocal run at the beginning of it,
Speaker 2: because you know, we always used to being in a
Speaker 2: recording studio at that point, so I wasn't trying to
Speaker 2: sing live ever. And then Heather was so funny in
Speaker 2: this and I remember Eric being so lovely about this
Speaker 2: scene about putting me into bed. I do move my
Speaker 2: foot if right before I get put onto the bed,
Speaker 2: my foot does.
Speaker 1: Me well, to be fair, that is like a it's
Speaker 1: a scary thing to.
Speaker 2: Be picked up. I knew my foot was going to
Speaker 2: hit the bed, so I was trying to lift it alone.
Speaker 1: Just the fact that she picks you up.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh.
Speaker 1: My god, this is crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then.
Speaker 1: We made sweet, sweet, sweet sweet love that was not
Speaker 1: love at all.
Speaker 2: No, because I then shortly afterwards break up with her
Speaker 2: because Santana is pissed about this. And I have referenced
Speaker 2: the scene many times when I say I and I
Speaker 2: could not be in scenes together. This is the scene.
Speaker 2: So she's talking to me and telling me how Brittany
Speaker 2: has sex with everyone and I'm not special and she
Speaker 2: was using me. And if you notice, I don't ever
Speaker 2: look at her. I am looking forward, even when she
Speaker 2: gets down to talk to me at eye level. I
Speaker 2: am looking forward because I think we got one take
Speaker 2: where we didn't break It seems not even that funny.
Speaker 2: We just could not like beat our characters to each
Speaker 2: other and not break out laughing. It was. It was bad,
Speaker 2: So we got through it.
Speaker 1: You did. It's a very funny scene.
Speaker 2: And also, just to wrap up this little storyline, when
Speaker 2: Brittany talks about, you know, she wanted to share spaghetti
Speaker 2: with Artie Lady in the tramp style, and there's that
Speaker 2: shot at breadsticks with Sam and Quinn and it pans
Speaker 2: over to Brittany giving the little meatball role that was
Speaker 2: not scripted.
Speaker 1: Eric.
Speaker 2: Eric had Heather at work a little extra long and
Speaker 2: added that scene in because he just thought it'd be
Speaker 2: really nice.
Speaker 1: Really cute.
Speaker 2: It's so cute, and I loved that. I love that
Speaker 2: he fought to get those things in because it's not easy.
Speaker 2: These are there's a lot packed into like forty five minutes,
Speaker 2: and to add anything cost time, cost money, and he
Speaker 2: fought for little things like that.
Speaker 1: He did.
Speaker 2: He did another great duet this episode. Jenna. Let's talk
Speaker 2: about Tina and Mike.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about it. Well, Tina and Mike, this
Speaker 1: is like their first like scenes that you get to
Speaker 1: see them. And chicken feet became like a whole thing
Speaker 1: about eating the chicken feet, which was so strange.
Speaker 2: But it was really very funny in that scene.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you, it was you know, Eric brought the
Speaker 1: best out in Tina, he really did, and like it
Speaker 1: just made me comfortable to work with him, and I
Speaker 1: hadn't had a ton of scenes either, you know, up
Speaker 1: to that point, and working with Harry who was kind
Speaker 1: of new, it was really it was really fun. It
Speaker 1: was just fun to like support Harry and his like
Speaker 1: new character or like his like features anyway, So this
Speaker 1: number is so cute. I don't I don't remember loving
Speaker 1: this number as much, like doing this number as much,
Speaker 1: because I was like, yeah, whenever, it's like fine.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's so cute, and Harry's so good, so good,
Speaker 2: you guys are so good together. And yeah, Harry's phenomenal
Speaker 2: in this He's so good. I mean, he's holding that
Speaker 2: whole number. I'm just kind of there to be to
Speaker 2: help him out.
Speaker 1: But it is really cute and it's I love the
Speaker 1: triangle of Arty and Mike.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tina tries to go to dinner and duet with Arti,
Speaker 2: and Artie wasn't having it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, You're like, we're friends, you can do this, and
Speaker 1: and then you're in love. Is upset and she gets
Speaker 1: crapped on again, so she's going for Mike.
Speaker 2: The chicken feet.
Speaker 1: Tell me about the chicken feet. It's such a thing.
Speaker 2: It was. It was like a half a scene about
Speaker 2: dim sum and chicken feet and couple's therapy.
Speaker 1: Tina was upset at the idea that everything has to
Speaker 1: be Asian, right, and I appreciate that. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like me. It's like, it's not all that I am,
Speaker 1: it's all that all that Harry is either, but his
Speaker 1: character is very into dim Sum and Asian Asian couples therapy.
Speaker 1: But I like that Gina is kind of like, not
Speaker 1: everything has to be Asian Asians, the Asian camp dim
Speaker 1: Sum chicken feet. I do love him some too, but
Speaker 1: not I don't love chicken feet.
Speaker 2: Chicken feet is not it?
Speaker 1: Not it? Okay. So so they do their scene. It's
Speaker 1: very cute. This is the beginning of the triangle. And
Speaker 1: and that's where and I think Eric, like you said,
Speaker 1: with the reactions and things, was very clear on creating
Speaker 1: that triangle versus just making it kind of already and
Speaker 1: Brittany and you know Tina and Mike.
Speaker 2: So I had lots of reaction shots that we probably
Speaker 2: wouldn't have had if it weren't that's right of us.
Speaker 2: Also a reaction shot of I believe it right after
Speaker 2: a river deep Mountain Hi, where she's fully biting her
Speaker 2: nails and like looks off just to the side of camera,
Speaker 2: like almost at cameras like that. That's Heather, Yes, e.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of that in these episodes. Thin and
Speaker 2: Rachel do Douggle break in my Heart, which is cute,
Speaker 2: so cute and so wild because Rachel is fully acting
Speaker 2: out of storyline that we are not privy to. And
Speaker 2: then she sits down and has her confession about I'm
Speaker 2: really selfish and you're a good person, right right, which
Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: So funny.
Speaker 2: This whole episode their number with you I'm Born Again is.
Speaker 1: We were howling last night watching this. It was very
Speaker 1: funny the performances, and I remember, do you remember watching
Speaker 1: this while they were doing it? It was very funny,
Speaker 1: like I remember trying to hold it together.
Speaker 2: Those two doing sort of this like amped up comedy
Speaker 2: thing together.
Speaker 3: So good, flawless, really really funny, really funny.
Speaker 1: I like this.
Speaker 2: I like songs.
Speaker 1: I like that duet better than I like Run Joey Run.
Speaker 1: Just putting it out there.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, nobody asked for your opinion.
Speaker 1: Well this is half my podcast, sow, I'm giving it
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: I have to say shout out to Fordham University because
Speaker 2: Heather and I went there a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 2: and we were asked what our favorite songs were, and
Speaker 2: somebody shouted run Joey Run.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the place erupted. That's funny, it's crazy, that's
Speaker 1: really funny.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's happened. Wow, you would have hated that.
Speaker 1: I would have loved to see it. Though I'd love
Speaker 1: to see it. It's hard for me to understand because
Speaker 1: I haven't. I didn't witness that house full of chaos,
Speaker 1: of overrun, Joey Run. But I'm obviously you guys have
Speaker 1: made it clear to us, so I'm listening.
Speaker 5: Hey dudes, this is Christine Taylor and this is David Lasher.
Speaker 4: You may remember us as teenage co stars on the
Speaker 4: Nickelodeon show Hey Dude Back in the Day.
Speaker 5: Now decades later, we are together again as hosts of
Speaker 5: the Hey Dude the Nineties called podcast, where we revisit
Speaker 5: amazing nineties nostalgia.
Speaker 4: From music to movies, to television and comedy.
Speaker 5: We cover it all, and we get to do it
Speaker 5: with an array of guests who made their mark in
Speaker 5: that magical era.
Speaker 4: Stars from Saved by the Bell, Married with Children, Blossom, Clueless,
Speaker 4: Full House, Beverly Hills, nine O two one zero.
Speaker 2: The list goes on, and David.
Speaker 5: Don't forget our number one fan, mister Ben Stiller.
Speaker 2: How could I forget Ben Stiller. I mean, it was
Speaker 2: so nice for us to both meet him for the
Speaker 2: first time.
Speaker 4: He was an amazing guest. We've also had on other
Speaker 4: nineties megastars like Jason Priestley, Melissa Joan Hart, cal Mitchell,
Speaker 4: and Mayam Biollick just the name a few, and there's
Speaker 4: so much more to come.
Speaker 1: So sit back, relax.
Speaker 5: You can even binge our the episodes and make sure
Speaker 5: to catch a new one each week.
Speaker 4: Listen to Hey Dude the nineties called on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 4: Apple podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Speaker 1: So then they do Yes, Leah does her third number,
Speaker 1: Rachel has her third number, Happy to He's her here Again,
Speaker 1: which we do on tours well, which was off the bat.
Speaker 2: A really sweet scene between Kurt and Rachel where Rachel
Speaker 2: comes to kurt SLocker and it's like, we're a lot
Speaker 2: more similar than you probably realize, and that's rude, and
Speaker 2: then has this really lovely speech about how he may
Speaker 2: be lonely, but he has twelve other people who love
Speaker 2: him just the way he is in Glee Club, even
Speaker 2: if it's not right romantically right. It's a really really
Speaker 2: nice moment and it's nice, you know, off the heels
Speaker 2: of Rachel pretending to sort of be a good person
Speaker 2: and not selfish about who's going to win. And this
Speaker 2: is actually the real, genuine nice thing she does, right, Yes,
Speaker 2: and then she does If you have not seen the
Speaker 2: original black and white video of Happy Days Are Here Again,
Speaker 2: get happy with Barbara Streis and Judy Garland, go watch
Speaker 2: it a and be it with this performance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she has this ingrained into her brain to.
Speaker 2: Every movement and look and smile, shrug. Is that Barbara
Speaker 2: Streison in that number? And I don't think I realized
Speaker 2: it at the time. I realized it years later when
Speaker 2: I saw the videos, like, wait, this looks very familiar,
Speaker 2: and Leah had something very specific in mind and crushed it.
Speaker 1: It's Barbara, Barbara crushing And yes, that one I always remember,
Speaker 1: like I think about running from around the stadium at
Speaker 1: that point when they're ring that number because we were
Speaker 1: getting ready to do single Ladies anything or something like that.
Speaker 1: So my memory is.
Speaker 2: Like, no, it's right because this number was down the
Speaker 2: B stage, that's right, and you guys are on the
Speaker 2: B stage and it's all me talking, and I feel
Speaker 2: like this number we're all sort of like killing time. Yah,
Speaker 2: so get you guys.
Speaker 1: Chris is there exactly? So speaking of Chris, that was
Speaker 1: that what you were going to say?
Speaker 2: Or no, it was not?
Speaker 1: Please no, speaking of Chris, I forgot that the jazz
Speaker 1: hot was in this episode.
Speaker 2: I did too, and there was quite the story with this.
Speaker 1: Do you remember are you thinking about the Golden Globes? Yes, oh,
Speaker 1: we're going to tell that. Well okay, well number one,
Speaker 1: this number. I don't know why they put Tina in
Speaker 1: this number. They they made me thank you dance with
Speaker 1: all the dancers who do like the vocal adrenaline. Heather's
Speaker 1: in it, Harry's in it. Why is team there?
Speaker 2: This is a choreographer, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Why Brittany is in it with Chris? Why am I there?
Speaker 1: I remember stressing so hard. This dance was so hard.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look hard. It was very effing hard. I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't belong here. And then if you
Speaker 1: look at the kick line, it's all these dancers and
Speaker 1: then short Jenna.
Speaker 2: It just drops the lines a lot of high ki.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and the whole thing is turned stop,
Speaker 1: turn stop, turn stop. It's a lot of core work
Speaker 1: that I didn't have at the time anyway, So what happened, Kevin?
Speaker 1: What is this? What is this story that we're telling.
Speaker 2: The Hollywood Form Press, which is the association that hosts
Speaker 2: and votes on the Golden Globe Awards, came to visit
Speaker 2: set that day while we were filming this, and they
Speaker 2: were watching Chris rehearse the number like pre film filming,
Speaker 2: and the music cutout, which, by the way, never happens never,
Speaker 2: and there's a slight pause, and we're like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: we're trying to make a good impression on the Hobod
Speaker 2: Form Press, and then Chris just starts singing it.
Speaker 1: We're mid song, We're like mid song and the music
Speaker 1: cuts out and we're just still going right.
Speaker 2: Yes, And everyone like pauses for a second, and then
Speaker 2: Chris just keeps going the show must go on, which
Speaker 2: normally wouldn't have happened because like it's a rehearsal, but
Speaker 2: the HFPA is there, so keep it going, and he
Speaker 2: sang the rest of the song. You all danced through it,
Speaker 2: and that boy got himself a Golden Globe.
Speaker 1: I forgot that. We kept going and then Chris was singing, oh.
Speaker 2: Because I was in the audience like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: and he want to go in Clobe that year.
Speaker 1: So that's it didn't hurt, didn't It didn't that only
Speaker 1: that happened once one other time when we were actually
Speaker 1: on set shooting a scene and we just kept singing
Speaker 1: because it was on Dot's coverage, and we kept singing,
Speaker 1: and literally the three of us were singing acappella. It
Speaker 1: was Amber, me and I and we were singing shake It,
Speaker 1: Shake it Out, acappella, and everybody was holding their stuff
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, we really sound good. And
Speaker 1: Doc kept, you know, she was crying the whole number,
Speaker 1: so like they just kept going, and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is a this is a good song.
Speaker 2: That was a beautiful version.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I owned the record.
Speaker 3: I getting back on track, so a little jazz.
Speaker 2: There was a little fun fact about this episode two.
Speaker 2: So I were talking, we're sort of talking all circles
Speaker 2: about this, but so I was on an episode of
Speaker 2: The Years Before Glee by.
Speaker 1: Year Famous, Year Before, So Famous.
Speaker 2: And there is an episode of the Office that came
Speaker 2: out a month after this called viewing Party, and one
Speaker 2: of the characters gets everybody over to their house to
Speaker 2: watch Glee together and the episode they're watching is Duets
Speaker 2: and Steve Carell's characters asked who his favorite character is
Speaker 2: and he says the invalid, referring to Artie more Meta
Speaker 2: and Jennet Fisher, who is one of the co hosts
Speaker 2: of the Office Lady's podcast. It's a great podcast. Go
Speaker 2: listen to it if you're a fan of the Office,
Speaker 2: but she was saying that she actually like talked about
Speaker 2: this in their recap episode of Viewing Party about how
Speaker 2: they weren't really allowed to pull many clips because one
Speaker 2: was expensive and they couldn't show anything that hadn't been
Speaker 2: shown before, so they had to use an episode that
Speaker 2: had previously aired, and this had just aired, just how
Speaker 2: I just thought that was so weird because I remember
Speaker 2: when that episode came out and I had some friends
Speaker 2: texting me being like, did you know about this? And
Speaker 2: I did not know that Steve Correll's character was going
Speaker 2: to pick Artis's favorite characters like respect, thank you.
Speaker 1: I would have been upset, yeah, for sure. Had they not,
Speaker 1: we would have been I think we all would have
Speaker 1: been upset. Yeah, But I didn't. I don't think we
Speaker 1: knew about this.
Speaker 2: We didn't know what was happening. No, I did not
Speaker 2: know until it was on.
Speaker 1: That's so crazy. Wow, how fun.
Speaker 2: It's not fun?
Speaker 1: That is fun.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty much the episode.
Speaker 2: There was one other significant thing that happened, sid, Oh,
Speaker 2: tell me the introduction of Chord's first impression. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: just forget and that's what really got Quinn you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, definitely it got us all.
Speaker 2: And he's a bottle blonde.
Speaker 1: It's so funny. It's so funny. I forgot his hair
Speaker 1: was that blonde when he came in. And also I'm
Speaker 1: just so glad his impression made it in.
Speaker 2: Can we also talk about how he got a haircut
Speaker 2: halfway through the episode?
Speaker 1: Did he?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: And I feel like there was some stuff about that too.
Speaker 2: Sults was not happy because it's a bad haircut, right
Speaker 2: like they gave him. He went from justin bieber bang
Speaker 2: to blunt bang right, and all of a sudden, somebody's
Speaker 2: performing and it cuts to Chord in the choir room
Speaker 2: and he's got a blunt bang just in like two scenes.
Speaker 1: Were we doing Rocky Heart at the same time?
Speaker 3: Ye?
Speaker 2: Possibly, I can't remember, because that's the haircut he has
Speaker 2: to Rocky Horse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. And it had to because he was
Speaker 1: in that gold Gong. So I don't know, maybe that's really.
Speaker 2: Weird because he has seen throughout the entire episode where
Speaker 2: he has like the normal sort of beeverish looking hair,
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 1: That's funny hairgate. Hairgate. I mean, we had quite a
Speaker 1: few of those. I think.
Speaker 2: I just River Deep Mountain High is one of the
Speaker 2: best thing that's ever happened to me.
Speaker 1: Oh, hands down. I was watching it. When we were
Speaker 1: watching it last night, I was like, this is truly
Speaker 1: goes down in history, not just Glee history, history.
Speaker 2: Her history, her. Okay, well done.
Speaker 1: You don't have a song in this number in this episode.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the pilot where you like didn't
Speaker 1: get like really good at night. I shouldn't have to
Speaker 1: do it, No, but you did lose your beak card. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So like it's I feel like it's all's fair. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do some TARTI takes, Okay, cringe moments.
Speaker 2: Cringe moments. Honestly, I don't know, Like I don't really
Speaker 2: I suppose you know that Rachel and Finn number should
Speaker 2: be cringey, but it's so good and everyone's so offended
Speaker 2: by it. But like fair, I'm not cringed about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it was so funny. I thought a little
Speaker 2: cringey over like Harry finally gets to talk and it's
Speaker 2: just about dem.
Speaker 1: Sum Okay, fair enough. A lot of his stuff is
Speaker 1: very Asian and focused. Yeah that's for quite a bit
Speaker 1: of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so maybe I'm just lumping all that together.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: That's good. Okay, that worst dan smooth? Okay, Well, I
Speaker 1: don't think there's a worst dance move, but I think
Speaker 1: there's a best dance move.
Speaker 2: What's the best dance move?
Speaker 1: All Riverdeep, Mountain High.
Speaker 2: Yes, the entirety of riverdep Mountain.
Speaker 3: High, the whole thing, from top to bottom. I also
Speaker 3: have to say the choreography for the Jazz Hot it's incredible.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's very good. I have PTSD, but it's
Speaker 1: very good.
Speaker 2: It's very good. I was yelling at the screen of
Speaker 2: like why didn't Zach Woodley get for this.
Speaker 1: Ever, get nominated? Everminated? I have PTSD at number though
Speaker 1: really bad.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah it's.
Speaker 3: Good, but like I belong there, but you did, and
Speaker 3: you did it and it's forever recorded in history.
Speaker 1: Thank god. It it's like all in the shadows. You
Speaker 1: don't know who I am.
Speaker 2: And everyone's very tall in that number.
Speaker 1: Yes except for me. Best song, very best performance by
Speaker 1: a prop.
Speaker 2: Naya and Amber's hair during River deep Naya's skirt.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was gonna say the skirt move, the booty move.
Speaker 1: I also like the meatball.
Speaker 2: The meatball is very good. I'm hungry.
Speaker 3: I'm star Discovery, I'm starving. Best line, Oh God, I
Speaker 3: don't know if we have time. I mean there are
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 1: I think for me, Santana saying that she's like a
Speaker 1: lizard and that she needs something warm beneath her or
Speaker 1: she can't digest her food is it for me? But
Speaker 1: any Santana line this episode where she talks about redsticks
Speaker 1: is really good. And then also when Brittany responds to you,
Speaker 1: what did you say? And she I still have a crush.
Speaker 1: I'm still not over. I have a crush on somebody
Speaker 1: and she says the Clinton's.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean I think mine is also, Santana. I'm
Speaker 2: like a reptile mine just and like we quoted that
Speaker 2: a lot, like we's that in real life. Yeah, definitely
Speaker 2: many a time, Warm Body. Were we just nerds like
Speaker 2: we were fans of the show we were on, and
Speaker 2: like we would quote these lines in real life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never thought about it like that, but I
Speaker 1: think we were we definitely, I mean, I'm definitely a nerd.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's for sure. It's cute because we were such
Speaker 2: big fans of each other. Yeah, it's like sometimes you
Speaker 2: just make each other do the line for you because it's.
Speaker 1: So definitely definitely tell me what's what's going on on
Speaker 1: the on the talk.
Speaker 2: I got tagged in this TikTok. Beth m likes vinyl.
Speaker 2: You need to go check it out because she posts
Speaker 2: these incredible renders of fake Lee soundtrack vinyls the Lee
Speaker 2: albums as vinyls, and it's stunning work.
