Speaker 1: And That's what you really missed with Jenna and Kevin
Speaker 1: and I Heart Radio Podcast. Welcome back for another episode.
Speaker 1: I'm Jenna, I'm Kevin, and this is and That's what
Speaker 1: you really missed, where we recap Glee, rewatch Glee and
Speaker 1: talk about it and things. And today we are recapping
Speaker 1: mash Up episode eight, season one, where there aren't actually
Speaker 1: any mashups. So that's there's a theme though. Yes, there's
Speaker 1: a theme of mashing up without actually music, mashing, unlikely
Speaker 1: characters mashing, yes, unlikely songs that are supposed to be
Speaker 1: mashed up but are not being mashed. Yes, And narratively
Speaker 1: we are mashing. We're straight up mashing um. This episode
Speaker 1: aired on October two thousand and nine. We sort of
Speaker 1: had our first like magazine cover. It was Matt and
Speaker 1: Corey and Leah on the cover of Entertey Weekly. Enter
Speaker 1: Tune Weekly was very nice to us along the journey
Speaker 1: of Glee was becoming very famous. We had a cover
Speaker 1: and Kevin. This week in Glean News, John Graff was
Speaker 1: announced that he was going to come on and do
Speaker 1: a couple of episodes. That's right, Good Old Sweet Sweet Um.
Speaker 1: The number one movie in America at this time was
Speaker 1: Paranormal Activity. And do you remember some time later after
Speaker 1: this movie was out of the theaters. I did not
Speaker 1: watch horror movies at all at this time. I hated there,
Speaker 1: and Leah forced me to watch it. She had a
Speaker 1: movie right at her house. Did I watch it with
Speaker 1: you guys? Don't you might not have gone. I may
Speaker 1: have actually opted out because I don't watch. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I was like fine, She's like, if I have a
Speaker 1: movie night, you're coming and you're gonna watch panor Normal
Speaker 1: Activity because it's so good. I was like, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: and so we went over and I watched it. I
Speaker 1: think Chris is there, and yeah, it was terrifying, but
Speaker 1: I did it. Remember you could have been there. And
Speaker 1: I don't like scary movies. Do you still not like
Speaker 1: scaring movies? Or you watch them now? I watched him
Speaker 1: now because um, Austin has trained me how to appreciate
Speaker 1: them because he loves them. Got it? So now I
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. I can appreciate that, all right. This episode
Speaker 1: was directed by returning director Aldie Keene. It was written
Speaker 1: by Ian Brennan. And we have some weird songs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that don't in fact mash up dynamic list um, and
Speaker 1: we've got Boston Moog got Thuang song and of course
Speaker 1: Sweet Caroline, which do you remember what happened? The day
Speaker 1: after this one aired, Neil Diamond tweeted Mark, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this was like the first time we had like a
Speaker 1: direct line. Um. And then an artist reached out after
Speaker 1: their song was covered and like said, what great job,
Speaker 1: and it was great to see my song and bloody
Speaker 1: bolah that's right. We were all shocked. Yeah, we hadn't
Speaker 1: had any direct response from any of the artists yet,
Speaker 1: so that was great. It was our first and we
Speaker 1: get to see Jama sing this episode. Isn't it such
Speaker 1: a pretty voice? Um? So there's really three big things
Speaker 1: going on this episode. There's Emma and Ken preparing for
Speaker 1: the wedding. Then there's um the football team is really
Speaker 1: revolting against the gleanness of it all and Kin's part
Speaker 1: and that, and then there's Rachel and Puck, which is
Speaker 1: is I feel like it's how I feel about that
Speaker 1: is how I felt about Joey and Rachel dating and friends.
Speaker 1: It feels weird. Anyway, Let's let's let's go back and
Speaker 1: start with I never thought about it like that very good, Kevin. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's start to think, well, Rachel, her name was inspired
Speaker 1: by friends, wasn't it? Was it not? I believe it was?
Speaker 1: Was it? I think? So? Yes? So? Um, I guess
Speaker 1: I could ask I could ask Ryan. Maybe I send
Speaker 1: a text. So Emma and Ken are planning to have
Speaker 1: a wedding, very wedding and why where nobody can attend basically,
Speaker 1: and then they after they're very very private event, they're
Speaker 1: going to have a first dance and they share this
Speaker 1: with Will that they can't They each want a very
Speaker 1: unique and different song and they can't quite figure it out.
Speaker 1: So they're thinking about, Yeah, Emma wants I could have
Speaker 1: danced all night and a classic, and Ken Tanaka wants
Speaker 1: the song which is also a classic. Jenna, don't you
Speaker 1: dare try to say otherwise? Will says, Okay, let's let's
Speaker 1: do this. I can teach you. I can get these
Speaker 1: songs together. I want to be my wedding gift to
Speaker 1: you guys, a nice person, being a nice person. Emma
Speaker 1: shows up to dance rehearsal um and princess dies wedding dress,
Speaker 1: which it is a it is it is very similar.
Speaker 1: I will say, Um, go and look at Princess Di's
Speaker 1: wedding dress. Jamie is so little. Yes, this dress swallows
Speaker 1: her up a hole. And I think the idea is
Speaker 1: that it's supposed to be not not the dress. So
Speaker 1: but but Mr Shoe does dance lessons with her and
Speaker 1: we get into the our favorite number of the Thong song,
Speaker 1: and I feel like, so this episode is a lot
Speaker 1: of cringe e Shoe and I feel like this is
Speaker 1: AKA Fella's Part two because there's a lot of adults
Speaker 1: and it um and it just a lot of this
Speaker 1: makes me uncomfortable little cringe e because it's also happening
Speaker 1: in a school where she a teacher, is dancing around
Speaker 1: a counselor and who's in a wedding dress and one
Speaker 1: of the classrooms at the school and they're dancing too. Yes,
Speaker 1: but it's a weird I feel like there are many
Speaker 1: boundaries that are being crossed well and then I mean
Speaker 1: where this gets into the different part of the storyline.
Speaker 1: But um, Mr Shoe doing bust to Move, which happens
Speaker 1: early in the episode. Mr Shoe unbuttoned stead his shirt
Speaker 1: during class, he dances around, he touches students faces. Um,
Speaker 1: he's singing a weird song and it's a weird number. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the so sorry. So getting back to Thong song,
Speaker 1: we're continuing the cringe and they trip, and the trips
Speaker 1: and falls on top of Will. They have a moment
Speaker 1: where they're on top of each other on the floor
Speaker 1: in the classroom and Can, of course happens to be
Speaker 1: outside peering through the window at that exact moment. Do
Speaker 1: you think the Hunger Games when they fall they took
Speaker 1: that from Will and Emma? Definitely, Yeah, Yeah, that definitely
Speaker 1: is a direct correlation. Fully believe that. Yeah. And um,
Speaker 1: I will say Kevin, this this was I think last
Speaker 1: week or maybe we didn't talk about it, but there's
Speaker 1: a website that has the Weirdest performances Glee's Weirdest Performances. Um.
Speaker 1: And also there's another article it's like Glee's Weirdest Performances
Speaker 1: and this made it on. Thong Song made it on
Speaker 1: because it is it's very strange, but here we are,
Speaker 1: And I wonder if the writers thought like it'd be
Speaker 1: funny to see them do this. Yeah, I also love
Speaker 1: that Thong song was used. Yeah, and that's just the weirdest,
Speaker 1: wildly popular song in our Day, Yeah, because it was
Speaker 1: great remember making the video. I watched it for that. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what I learned about shooting Day for Night. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the educational series, and then they go to a bridle
Speaker 1: shop where they then they realized that maybe she needs
Speaker 1: a smaller dress, right, a more fitted dress. So Emma
Speaker 1: is at the bridle shop and she's trying on a
Speaker 1: new dress that's going to be easier to dance in,
Speaker 1: and Will's like, oh, that, do you want to practice?
Speaker 1: So he puts her in. Um. He puts on an
Speaker 1: instrumental version of I Could Have Danced All night, and
Speaker 1: we see Emma Pillsbury's first musical number, Jama May's first
Speaker 1: number is very exciting. Um. And and then after the dance,
Speaker 1: Will tells Emma that Ken is making the guys choose
Speaker 1: between glee and the football. Um. Brings us to Slushy Gate.
Speaker 1: So let's let's backtrack. Yes, So what's what's also happening
Speaker 1: in this episode is everybody is getting slushy, but like
Speaker 1: the jobs are getting slushy, the popular girls are getting slushy.
Speaker 1: Everyone who's in Glee club that is part of the
Speaker 1: popular crowd is getting slushy. Um. This is where we
Speaker 1: see Kurowski and his emio. Um. We talked about this
Speaker 1: the ship we found on TikTok where where Kross he
Speaker 1: says he was on the hockey team lies. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's all this rebellion amongst all the jocks, the
Speaker 1: dudes being the dudes, and all these gay jokes and
Speaker 1: YadA YadA YadA. Um. It's also where we do all
Speaker 1: these tracking shots of the big slushy cups going down
Speaker 1: and Amber yelling out my weave slide of the bumble bees. Yes. Um,
Speaker 1: I think that was improv. I know, and I originally
Speaker 1: thought it was written. I'm like, I don't know about that,
Speaker 1: but Amber, Amber, Yes, Amber improv. That made it up,
Speaker 1: So I feel better about that. And then, um, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys noticed, but this is the
Speaker 1: start of the fake slushy and the very short lived
Speaker 1: fake slushies at that. Um. It was made of silicone
Speaker 1: and some color food coloring and whatnot. And I believe
Speaker 1: they used it because it was faster to reset, Is
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah? And also it's just it's faster to reset,
Speaker 1: easier clean up. You didn't have to reset the people.
Speaker 1: But it was also not as good. It was not
Speaker 1: as good the actual like when you get slushy. The
Speaker 1: shot wasn't like I was good because it never stuck
Speaker 1: on your face like like a real flash she did.
Speaker 1: We have to go back and talk about Bust to
Speaker 1: Move for a second. Besides it being like super cringe
Speaker 1: and shoe touching everybody's face and I'm buttoning a shirt
Speaker 1: and doing and wrapping and doing breakdancing. I remember for us,
Speaker 1: um we had a great time because we didn't have
Speaker 1: to do anything. I remember the rehearsal where everybody was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just going to sort of dance around and vibe
Speaker 1: sort of like um ride with me, like the Nelly song.
Speaker 1: We're just having fun. It was sort of the same thing.
Speaker 1: But Matt had to do so much this episode. I
Speaker 1: mean so much between the thongs song, Bust Move, Jane's number,
Speaker 1: it was he was I could have danced all night.
Speaker 1: I do remember him kind of being exhausted. It was
Speaker 1: really really crazy. And then I was there playing the
Speaker 1: bass like an idiot, pretending I had lessons to learn
Speaker 1: how to fake play these instruments. I never actually learned that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I did that in the in the trailer you remember.
Speaker 1: I remember you going and being like I had to
Speaker 1: go rehearst the basis. Yeah, I had a teacher who
Speaker 1: taught me how to do these things. Wow, well, at
Speaker 1: least you weren't like breaking breaking. I also feel like,
Speaker 1: I know, like, looking back now, it's sort of all
Speaker 1: this is sort of cringe the Shoe doing all this,
Speaker 1: But at the time, I don't think we necessarily realize
Speaker 1: that it was cringe. No, not at all. And here's
Speaker 1: the thing. I think it was also because the way
Speaker 1: we saw Matt was different than the way that people
Speaker 1: saw Mr Shoe to the kids, correct now is our friend, Like,
Speaker 1: of course I saw him grab Diana's face because like
Speaker 1: that's what we did. We were all pretty much the
Speaker 1: same age. So it's a little weird because I think
Speaker 1: people now are when I'm watching it now and like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm watching it as Mr Shoe and the kids not
Speaker 1: in us, and it was definitely, um not, that's not appropriate,
Speaker 1: even more so now so. I but I do remember
Speaker 1: this episode being very free and easy for us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we didn't do much, which we got to hang out.
Speaker 1: Um so after us to move, Finn and Quinn go
Speaker 1: get advice from Emma on how to be visit Emma
Speaker 1: to asker for us and how to be cool, and
Speaker 1: Emma tells me to wear sunglasses because she's obviously distracted
Speaker 1: by Will passing by um, and so Finn and Quinn,
Speaker 1: especially Quinn's they were shears sunglasses the rest of the episode.
Speaker 1: And then Finn and Quinn get slushy by the football
Speaker 1: team and your favorite quote which one bros before high hoss.
Speaker 1: Did you also notice how the football player is falling
Speaker 1: because of the slushy as the scene was ending, Um No,
Speaker 1: I definitely did not like he slipped on the slushy. Ye,
Speaker 1: just just a little weirdness going out at the end
Speaker 1: of the scene. Yes, Um. So there's a fight at
Speaker 1: football practice because Ken Tanaka is now very upset in
Speaker 1: Mr Shoe and is getting revenge basically and putting extra
Speaker 1: glue rehearsals during extra football rehearsal during you rehearse football
Speaker 1: half time is intermission right exactly, So I can to
Speaker 1: get revenge about seeing you know, Will and Emma laying
Speaker 1: on the ground together. He decides to throw a Thursday
Speaker 1: one pm um football rehearsal, Um, and so then the
Speaker 1: people who are in glee club and also in football
Speaker 1: have to make the ultimate decision about where they're going
Speaker 1: to be because it's a mandatory practice. He's pissed. And
Speaker 1: this is the scene that I thought I remembered shooting.
Speaker 1: Remember last week we talked about or not last week,
Speaker 1: but Invitamin D when Sue we did that choir room
Speaker 1: scene when Sue becomes um CO captain. Right, Yeah, this
Speaker 1: felt very similar to me. And maybe it was because
Speaker 1: Led directed, uh, both of them, but I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is the scene that I remember so vividly of
Speaker 1: us like waiting for the people to come in. Yeah. Same,
Speaker 1: And I feel like we're constantly just like waiting in
Speaker 1: the choir room. Recently, um So, Mike and Matt and
Speaker 1: shockingly Puck show up, Book shows up because of Rachel,
Speaker 1: because of Rachel, but Finn doesn't show up. So Finn
Speaker 1: stays at the football practice, and we're all kind of bewildered,
Speaker 1: like why already definitely pissed, already's pissed, already think works
Speaker 1: thin And then we're waiting and Finn doesn't come back,
Speaker 1: like a weird slip up of editing here. It's like
Speaker 1: after the after they come in, they'll all turn to
Speaker 1: look at the door. After the camera cuts to the door,
Speaker 1: then back to the glee club the same clip. It's
Speaker 1: the same clip of us really yeah, m hmm, I
Speaker 1: believe it was. I think so, I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: people can message us because it looks it looks funny
Speaker 1: and we just mark that because we'll address something similar
Speaker 1: to that later as well. So this next the next
Speaker 1: part where finn Um has to go and slushy Kurt
Speaker 1: right because the football team will, you know, have his hoss.
Speaker 1: If not, he doesn't do it. Um and Kurt and
Speaker 1: his ring jacket, his wonderful mark, Jacob's range acid Um
Speaker 1: and He's like, look, I'll do it. I know you
Speaker 1: have to do it. Just do it, and feels like
Speaker 1: I don't really want to you. So Kurt's like, let
Speaker 1: me just do it for you. Then let me make
Speaker 1: your job really hazy. And Kurt does it to himself
Speaker 1: and Chris does it to himself, and I remember being
Speaker 1: at that um watching Chris do that and doing my
Speaker 1: damnedest not to laugh, and all of us not, and
Speaker 1: I think he was like, please don't laugh, because I can't.
Speaker 1: We can't mess this up. Once you slushy yourself that's it, right, Um,
Speaker 1: But I remember him slushy himself and it went behind
Speaker 1: him all the way up onto the light. Right, it
Speaker 1: went like up and behind him and then rocked down
Speaker 1: and got Leah, that's right, and then we all had
Speaker 1: to run into the girl's room. But I remember that
Speaker 1: it seemed very vividly in my mind, especially because of
Speaker 1: Chris's beautiful raincoat. Also, how amazing is Chris that you're
Speaker 1: doing the scene that's absolutely insane that after he slashes
Speaker 1: himself switches it, he's like almost on the ridge of tears.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a Golden Globe winner. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: and that's a Golden Globe winner. And so here's brings
Speaker 1: us back to basically, when Shoe tells Emma that Ken
Speaker 1: is doing this, you know, after they do, I could
Speaker 1: have danced all night. Um you see her being like huh,
Speaker 1: she had no idea And so then um, now cut
Speaker 1: back to here. Finn is now telling coach Tanaka that
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to have to choose, and clearly there's
Speaker 1: been some of you know, some behind the scenes talking
Speaker 1: between some characters, and he's like, okay, because Will has
Speaker 1: also apologized to Ken in this time, where Will is like,
Speaker 1: you're right, you know, I didn't necessarily encourage it, but
Speaker 1: I didn't stop it, and so yeah, and so all
Speaker 1: these things have lined up where Ken then hansels Thursday
Speaker 1: practices or Senna says Thursday rehearsals, so then everybody can
Speaker 1: participate in both exactly. And Finn returns to the glee
Speaker 1: club and brings everyone slushies. Do you remember the film?
Speaker 1: I remember filming this. This is really fun. This was
Speaker 1: at the end of the night. It was I think
Speaker 1: it was a Friday, and Finn in this scene brings
Speaker 1: slushies to the glee club to make up for not
Speaker 1: showing up. And um and did or did Mr shubring
Speaker 1: slushy Finn and then Mr Shoes like, okay, well, unfortunately
Speaker 1: weren't able to find a song too, um mash up,
Speaker 1: leaving us with no mashup. Um and wet. Sweet Quinn
Speaker 1: has been exiled from the Cheerios. She's been kicked off
Speaker 1: because she's pregnant. She's prego and um, we'll get to
Speaker 1: that part of why she was kicked off the Cheerios,
Speaker 1: but she Um, we see her in regular clothes. We
Speaker 1: start to see Diana in her regular clothes. And I
Speaker 1: have to say, Quinn's clothes just subtly mirror Diana um wardrobe.
Speaker 1: She's just a little bit they would shop at the
Speaker 1: same places. Um. So we get to start to see
Speaker 1: Quinn and regular clothes and cherio fits. And then I
Speaker 1: also love that Corey's like drinking the slushy during this scene. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I remember we had I think it was
Speaker 1: late Friday night. We had basically one chance to do this, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: And the camera was covered in like plastics so that
Speaker 1: it wouldn't get dirty because there were so many of
Speaker 1: us throwing slashy. There was the floor when you watched.
Speaker 1: When you watch the the slushy hit like the camera.
Speaker 1: We do it to the camera. There's like a piece
Speaker 1: of plastic in front of the cameras see it like war.
Speaker 1: It just happens. So it's fast, it's hard to it's
Speaker 1: hard to tell. Very good catch. Um. And I remember
Speaker 1: mapp being like very nervous. Yes, that getting slushy. So yeah,
Speaker 1: the Glee club kids they learned, they learned that Mr.
Speaker 1: She has never been slushy before. And so it is
Speaker 1: a twelve slushy facial, which is the most amount of Slushies,
Speaker 1: that anybody has been slushy yet a date to date
Speaker 1: which will change sure well, Ken, I was also like
Speaker 1: during this time when you say the character hasn't been
Speaker 1: slushy and noverybody's realizing it in real life. I was
Speaker 1: also we were also sort of like, neither have we.
Speaker 1: That's we tried not to anybody. We didn't. We were
Speaker 1: trying to hide it from brad Ian and Ryan that
Speaker 1: I don't think they were keeping track yet, but no,
Speaker 1: we got we're getting close. I think it happened soon
Speaker 1: for me. I think I get I get slushy pretty soon.
Speaker 1: Somebody ratted me out, and that's how it happened me.
Speaker 1: You really got the the super Bowl of Slushies. Um,
Speaker 1: I did, literally. So the Glee Club was supposed to find,
Speaker 1: you know, something to mash up and like you said, well,
Speaker 1: well it's like, you know, nobody found them. But it's
Speaker 1: okay because we still learned the lesson. And then Will
Speaker 1: has also told Emma that he can't mash up. I
Speaker 1: could have danced all night and thong so long. They
Speaker 1: just don't go together right, So the mashups aren't working out,
Speaker 1: but they're teaching us valuable lessons. They know they're not
Speaker 1: necessarily supposed to be. Yes, they're they're great songs on
Speaker 1: their own. They're not necessarily complimentary of one another, which
Speaker 1: might be a metaphor. It was a metaphor, and I
Speaker 1: was wondering. I was honestly like, are they talking about
Speaker 1: Emma and Ken? Are we talking about Emma and Will?
Speaker 1: Because when she's saying like we don't necessarily match, I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, she's talking about Ken. And then when
Speaker 1: Will said it, I was like, oh, no, it's about
Speaker 1: him and how they're not supposed to be together. Well,
Speaker 1: it's both. I think you're from her perspective, it's one
Speaker 1: thing from his, it's another. Oh, very good. Everybody is
Speaker 1: looking at the thing from their own point of Beu Jenna.
Speaker 1: It's about that's how life is. It's your own movie,
Speaker 1: and everyone else is just a supporting character. You know.
Speaker 1: There was an article that called the Will Emma and
Speaker 1: Can love triangle the Bermuda love triangle, which is great.
Speaker 1: That's funny. Imagine Howard Bamboo can Can playing a Kentanaka.
Speaker 1: What a different, like a totally different vibe would have given.
Speaker 1: They're so good. So the reason why let's go backwards.
Speaker 1: So the reason why Quinn got kicked out of the
Speaker 1: Cheerios was because Sue is on a tirade. Um. Earlier
Speaker 1: in the episode, Rod Remington hits on Sue, she gets excited,
Speaker 1: They go on a date, they play battleship. She says,
Speaker 1: you've sunk my battleship hard, and he invites her to
Speaker 1: go swinging, which I was like, when Rod's like, I
Speaker 1: like to swing, I was like, it's Sue gonna get
Speaker 1: confused and like, end of it a swingers party. She
Speaker 1: seemed down for it either way. No, totally um, but
Speaker 1: it was an actual swinging event. So that's where we
Speaker 1: see Matt Mr. Shoe and Sue getting along, which is
Speaker 1: also very weird. Um, but love watching them do their
Speaker 1: little number. It's always fun to see Jane get to
Speaker 1: do stuff, and I like seeing Sue sort of vulnerable,
Speaker 1: excited for the prospect of love just for a moment,
Speaker 1: just for a second. I almost got too uncomfortable. We
Speaker 1: saw her too vulnerable for a second. I was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is not the Sue that I like to see.
Speaker 1: But of course Jane is like the polar opposite. So um.
Speaker 1: So they teach each other, you know, their their will
Speaker 1: is teaching Sue the dance to sing Sing, which is
Speaker 1: such a great little number. And then and also a
Speaker 1: side note, Zach Woodley was also being put through the
Speaker 1: ringer during this episode. I remember as well because while yes,
Speaker 1: while having to teach Mad and Jane these numbers, he
Speaker 1: also had to choreograph them. Yeah, and then when we're
Speaker 1: shooting them, he has to be on set while we're
Speaker 1: doing it when he should also be like coming up
Speaker 1: with and teaching other people other things. This is where Brooke,
Speaker 1: also assistant choreographer, who was also amazing um came in
Speaker 1: handy because they would tag team really well because they
Speaker 1: had such a shorthand. So anyway, um Rod, Sue gets
Speaker 1: is ready for her date. She shows up Rod, is she,
Speaker 1: I guess cheating on her although he, according to him
Speaker 1: they weren't exclusive. Was making out with Andrea the other
Speaker 1: um an newscaster news anchor. And and then that's it,
Speaker 1: that's the that's the vulnerable side of student. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: then Sue goes back to her ways of I want
Speaker 1: the set list because you know she's gonna be up
Speaker 1: to know good with it and demanding things. But it's
Speaker 1: good to see her return to her evil self. I
Speaker 1: missed it. I did miss it as well, and also like,
Speaker 1: is there anything that's you that Jane Lynch can't do. No,
Speaker 1: I've been watching um The Marvelous Mrs Masil for the
Speaker 1: first time. I know, I'm very late to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you texted me last night because some of our glee
Speaker 1: dancers are in it the new season. I haven't seen. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just in the past week I've watched two and
Speaker 1: a half seasons and seeing Jane on it. If you
Speaker 1: haven't watched The Marvelous Mrs Mazel on Amazon, you should
Speaker 1: go watch it. Jane has an incredible role on a
Speaker 1: really fun role. But you know, every now and then
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's some Sue, there's that sneaking through and
Speaker 1: it's great. She's just so good. She's so so good.
Speaker 1: So this this Puck and Rachel storyline really makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Puck is getting into his you
Speaker 1: know his he wants it it. A Jewish girl is
Speaker 1: getting in touch with Jewish roots. I do. I will
Speaker 1: say that his like little montage monologue with his the
Speaker 1: dream where she comes through the window is pretty funny. Good.
Speaker 1: It's very funny. I think they're very funny together. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: It's just that Puck and Rachel and Rachel make me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: I get nervous and I feel not warming and gooey inside. Now,
Speaker 1: did you like Rachel and Joey on Friends? I didn't
Speaker 1: hate it. It didn't make me uncomfortable. I didn't want
Speaker 1: them to end up together. But I didn't write a
Speaker 1: storyline because they're so good. I mean, the actors and
Speaker 1: the characters are so charming and so good together. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think we had enough time with Rachel and
Speaker 1: and Finn or any of that to really fall, like
Speaker 1: so deeply in love with them for them to be
Speaker 1: together yet, Like it's so early on that we're already
Speaker 1: mixing and matching, and it just it felt a little soon,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, but uh, Puck after his I
Speaker 1: mean number one, this is like the beginning of Puckleberry,
Speaker 1: which I think is all these nicknames coming up. Um,
Speaker 1: then we get to Puck actually helping Rachel perform to
Speaker 1: rehearse in her room. Also, I forgot that we did
Speaker 1: what a girl wants that had to be live, right,
Speaker 1: I forgot that too. Um. But then they make out.
Speaker 1: They're making out, He's like, can we take a break,
Speaker 1: and then it's weird. Um, and then Rachel sees Finn. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's dreaming a fin everybody everybody is cheating mentally Rachel
Speaker 1: things that she she says to he can't, she can't
Speaker 1: be with him unless he's a leading man in like
Speaker 1: man enough to sing a solo. So here we go.
Speaker 1: What does he do? Sweet Caroline, Ladies and Gentlemen, which
Speaker 1: Neil Diamond loved and and this number was definitely a
Speaker 1: fan favorite for a long time. Um. We did it
Speaker 1: on tour and I enjoyed doing this number because fun
Speaker 1: fact we would do when when somebody had a solo
Speaker 1: and they were backup vocals as there usually were that
Speaker 1: we were no longer recording ourselves, we'd have to learn
Speaker 1: them on the day we were daring him in the
Speaker 1: morning and we would we'd have to learn them, and
Speaker 1: we'd have to make sure they look right, and if not,
Speaker 1: Tim Davis would come and have our throats and um
Speaker 1: in the nicest way possible. And So to do a
Speaker 1: number that you knew so well, you're like, oh, I
Speaker 1: got this, I actually recorded this. This is great, This
Speaker 1: is really fun. So it was a fun number two
Speaker 1: shoot and it was again easy. Do you remember recording
Speaker 1: the backgrounds to this? Oh? Did we record the background?
Speaker 1: Is you? Me and Amber? I believe we still were
Speaker 1: recording back That's why I liked it so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because we knew it it was. I remember we had
Speaker 1: to like space around to make it sound like there
Speaker 1: are more people and like some of us are standing
Speaker 1: on a chair. We recorded, Yes, were you not there? No?
Speaker 1: I was there doing your royalties? Say are you getting
Speaker 1: paid for this box? Still? Yes? Then yes, so it
Speaker 1: was you, me and Amber. Oops, well I just contradicted myself.
Speaker 1: Thanks Kevin for that. That the reason why you did
Speaker 1: know it was because we actually all right, well that's sweet, Caroline.
Speaker 1: It's it goes down in England history. But um pocket slushy,
Speaker 1: And then the whole football thing happens where he's supposed
Speaker 1: to choose and gets in a fight and gets hit
Speaker 1: in the face by such by Kurowski um and like
Speaker 1: Rachel helps him clean up and blah blah blah. Then
Speaker 1: all that stuff sort of happens where he chooses glee
Speaker 1: club over football, and then there's that very nice like
Speaker 1: scene on the bleachers between which we never see, by
Speaker 1: the way, like scenes on the bleachers anymore, which I
Speaker 1: really appreciate. Yeah, the scene was really nice. It was.
Speaker 1: And they're both sort of, you know, opening up about
Speaker 1: how they're sort of like settling for not settling for
Speaker 1: each other, but they both want different things. He clearly wants,
Speaker 1: Quinn she wants and they're both sort of like the
Speaker 1: second Prize the runners up for one another. And then
Speaker 1: looks back to his normal self of like, no, we're
Speaker 1: not going to be friends. That it's just not what
Speaker 1: it is, and and they says they never were friends exactly,
Speaker 1: burn burn, and and that's that's the episode. That's it.
Speaker 1: We have these unlikely mashups, these mashups that never happened,
Speaker 1: and unlikely hearings, mashing songs that do not go together. Um,
Speaker 1: it was. It's not my favorite episode, no, And I
Speaker 1: don't remember it all that much because I think we
Speaker 1: weren't in a ton of it, so it's not in
Speaker 1: my memory. And I also I don't love it. Gold
Speaker 1: Star for Matt for working and also like what a yeah,
Speaker 1: what a talent, what a talent. I also we'll talk
Speaker 1: about my favorite line in a second, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: do remember, I know what you're saying. Great, Okay, Tarty
Speaker 1: takes Tarty Ta Tarty takes cringe moment. I mean the
Speaker 1: episode is the cringe episode for sure. But like Thong song,
Speaker 1: bust a move, shoe on, buttoning a shirt for the students,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, yeah, okay. To say much more, where Ken
Speaker 1: says to Finn, you have an itch down there or
Speaker 1: something that's also a little weird um teacher's dance move,
Speaker 1: I think that has gotta go. It's just weird. It's
Speaker 1: just weird. Okay, we'll go with you. Song. What was
Speaker 1: your favorite dance? Oh well, yeah, because there are a
Speaker 1: lot of dance members, I think sing Things has to
Speaker 1: be the best. It was really good. I like watching
Speaker 1: them together, polished and good and yeah, it was really
Speaker 1: fun to watch. And I remember Jean having like just
Speaker 1: a blast doing it, just so she was always such
Speaker 1: like such a team player. The best song, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think in terms of like Glee history, Sweet Caroline,
Speaker 1: Sweet Caroline. Yeah, and just because like also Neil Diamond,
Speaker 1: you know, and also me you and Amber that's right
Speaker 1: that you don't remember looks best performance by a prop
Speaker 1: Kevin Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and also I think in
Speaker 1: terms of the score, the flight of the bumblebee as
Speaker 1: this is happening is absolutely brilliant. Yes, that was really good.
Speaker 1: I wonder how much they had to pay for that.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, right, really good, really really good. Um,
Speaker 1: and that's not the last time we'll see that either.
Speaker 1: At the p O B of the right, I don't
Speaker 1: I doubt it. No, I think Paris Barclay does it
Speaker 1: sound all right? And then things that age well or
Speaker 1: didn't age well. Um, there's a line that Finn says.
Speaker 1: He says, I don't think anyone decision makes your life
Speaker 1: unless you accidentally invent some kind of zombie virus or something.
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, that didn't Okay, well here we are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's very good. There's a lot of great lines in
Speaker 1: this though. There's a lot of great lines, but I
Speaker 1: think I think what it always ends up being for
Speaker 1: us is Sue. Yes, and it is when Sue has
Speaker 1: finally lost her love and she gets mad, the best thing.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite lines ever, it's one of my
Speaker 1: frt lines ever in the show. Okay, do you want
Speaker 1: to say? Do you want to? Do you want to
Speaker 1: read it? She says, I'll need the set list for sectionals,
Speaker 1: after all, I want them on my desk, warm from
Speaker 1: a laminator at five pm. If it is one minute late,
Speaker 1: I will go to the animal shelter and get you
Speaker 1: a kittie cat. I will let you fall in love
Speaker 1: with that kitty cat. Then on some dark, cold night,
Speaker 1: I will still wait into your home and punch you
Speaker 1: in the face. And and then he even better the
Speaker 1: robuttal when when Mr Sho says didn't work out with
Speaker 1: Rod and I was like, it's really good, really good.
Speaker 1: Both the deliveries are really really good. Um. And then
Speaker 1: the other great line from the episode. I love the
Speaker 1: fact that Emma does not want anybody to see her
Speaker 1: get married to Kent Kanaka, and so she says, um
Speaker 1: Ken convinced me we need to at least be in
Speaker 1: the same room when America is certified. So I also
Speaker 1: wanted to because they're like a little fun fact about
Speaker 1: this episode because there were so many slushies that there was.
Speaker 1: I think we did Oprah, you see um our props guy,
Speaker 1: Paul Paul props um did we had that stunt man,
Speaker 1: the stunt guy looking thing like fake. It's like the
Speaker 1: body you using the karate yes, that thing I clearly
Speaker 1: work out, um, and we'd use it to people who
Speaker 1: are before you would sushy someone, you would use that
Speaker 1: the dummy to slushy. Yes. So if you go look
Speaker 1: up started behind the scenes on like the Oprah appearance
Speaker 1: we did, you can see the whole process behind making
Speaker 1: the slushy happened. So we didn't have to do a
Speaker 1: billion takes each time Jenna ship we found on TikTok.
Speaker 1: There's quite a reference. UM. I would first like to
Speaker 1: start out with a shout out to the one only
Speaker 1: christ and Chenowith who made a Glee TikTok what um
Speaker 1: where it says April Roads to the students at McKinley
Speaker 1: and she's singing popular what like in the mirror popular Popular? Yes? Stop.
Speaker 1: It was really cute and it was really really great, um.
Speaker 1: So many fans sent it to us. By the way,
Speaker 1: I love that you guys are tagging me and tagging
Speaker 1: the show and these things. We watch all of them
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about all of them. It's
Speaker 1: absolutely wonderful now and particular um, the TikTok's that have
Speaker 1: to do with this episode. Um. There are two things.
Speaker 1: One is someone found a mistake, UM, which I think
Speaker 1: sort of mirrors an editing thing that I mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: during Sweet Caroline, when we are clapping at the end
Speaker 1: of the performance. Um Fu foo po on TikTok shoutout
Speaker 1: is the one who uploaded this. It's the same shot twice,
Speaker 1: so they cut to us. We're all clapping, clapping, clapping
Speaker 1: is going They cut back to market, cut back to us,
Speaker 1: and then that clip starts over again because you notice
Speaker 1: Amber turns her head to look and then you turn
Speaker 1: your head to look and it's the same thing both times. Um.
Speaker 1: So that's fun. They couldn't get enough footage of us clapping.
Speaker 1: We must have been so bad that they had to
Speaker 1: use the same clip twice. That's funny. That's really good. Now.
Speaker 1: Other TikTok user crebub I don't know if that's a
Speaker 1: Kirby Um. They made this incredible, incredible TikTok of. It's
Speaker 1: a shot of Riverdale. The cast of Riverdale during an episode,
Speaker 1: like horrified, very disturbed, watching something on a laptop, and
Speaker 1: then it cuts the laptop and it's bust move the
Speaker 1: Glee performance. It's Mr shoe breakdancing on the floor and
