1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,479
Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: And Kevin an iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: Podcast, Welcome to you, and that's what you really last podcast.

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should have done that so

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: gleefully since this is the beginning of the end, but

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: here we.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: Are, I think you should have. I think it was warranted.

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: You know that.

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: I think this is a fun episode. It's a celebration

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: of where we came from, of where it all started,

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: and a really fun concept for an episode.

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean I remember when they told us

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: about this episode, that it was happening, and like I

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: remember hearing makeup starting to get ready for it, obviously

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: because there's like a lot of different books that needed

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: to be recreated, and I remember being feeling very nostalgic

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: about all of this. I'm very excited that this is

18
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: what they were doing. It felt really I don't know,

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: it was just really nice that they us.

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: Well, it did something interesting. I feel like, like mentally

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: or emotional to all of us. I think it was

22
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: the nostalgia of like we all immediately yeah, like yeah,

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: we regressed or reverted back to like how we were.

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: It's like when you go back to visit your parents

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: and you immediately become a teenager again. Yeah, and it

26
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: was just like it was really nice and lovely, and

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: everybody was just like, not to say people weren't nice

28
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: and lovely before, but it was sort of like that

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: naivete that we had in the beginning, all of a

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: sudden came back and we're like, this is fun. Remember this.

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there was the choir room scene. Yes,

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: it is so memorable. We'll talk about that. Yeah, okay,

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: so this is season six, episode twelve, two thousand and nine.

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Is the title. My look, wait, he landed on me again.

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: This is crazy, you.

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: Guys, Jenna, tell the people why it's crazy.

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: All right? So I have a lady book that just

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: landed on me for the second time today.

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: Don't blow it all.

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, bye Bear. And when Bear died, it was

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: September of like two or three years ago, and I

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: had said my friend Alessandra, our friend who said said

43
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: I when my dog died, I told him to come

44
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: back as a butterfly and to visit me. So I

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I'll do a ladybug. I like ladybugs.

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't really like bugs otherwise, so I asked him

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: to come back as a ladybug. I said that to

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: him before he died. And then you and I were

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,280

Speaker 1: day and I get a text message from David and

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,200

Speaker 1: see a ladybug in your bathroom? Anyway, so I knew

58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: that he came to visit me. He's a few other times,

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: but today I had him land right on my shirt.

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,600

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,440

Speaker 2: Oh, Jenna, the things you watch are you know?

84
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: They said that people who watch things over and over

85
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: again at nauseum actually have a higher EQ. So have

86
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: at higher EQ. Yeah, like emotional intelligence.

87
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: Oh I think you said like IQ.

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: No, that's definitely not true.

89
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: Interesting. I started to watch things over and over again,

90
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: so maybe my emotional intelligence is growing.

91
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you. Thank you anyway. Okay, so, yes,

Speaker 2: attended the Cleek Reunion convention in Paris, France.

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: That was a fun one. So we couldn't watch the

104
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: finale live or we would have probably all gotten together

105
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: and watched it because we were in Paris doing this.

106
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: It was also I think there was you and me.

107
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: I had this strange of version to like I didn't

108
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: want to watch it yet.

109
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: Yes, we were putting it off off.

110
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: I was scared to watch it. I actually watched it

111
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: that weekend. My friend Cleo was there and we laid

112
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: in bed and watched the two episodes and yeah cried.

113
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I brought the dishies out. I remember sitting there

114
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: by myself and I think it was the weekend after

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: or whenever we got home. I remember like having to

116
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: prepare myself for it. But it was special. This was

117
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: directed by the one and only Paris Barclay, and this

118
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: was written by Ryan Ian and Brad course, and Everybody's back.

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone is back, and there's quite a few songs

120
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: in here, songs. We've already had some new songs, so

121
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: we have popular sung by Kurt and Rachel.

122
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean we had to complete the Wicked Okay, I'm

123
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: His Child by Zella Jackson Price performed by Mercedes.

124
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: I Kissed a Girl performed by Tina. Did you redo this?

125
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Because I actually did this version in the studio because

126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: the original in the pilot we did live, yes, so

127
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: we never got to the studio for that one.

128
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: How did it feel going back to do it again?

129
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: It was funny, it actually got to finish a song.

130
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I loved it. I liked revisiting it. It was very

131
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: weird to watch uh this time around, but I enjoyed

132
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: like actually singing it with like a I guess it

133
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: was still only like piano. It wasn't like a fully

134
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: produced number. But I really enjoy Pony even more. This

135
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: is Pony by Artie.

136
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: Don't Stop Believing, which was original yeah, by the new

137
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: directions and then unreleased was mister Sullivan.

138
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: Like hurt right where we only see his back because

139
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: his audition was so iconic that we couldn't quite recreate

140
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: that again with Chris being a foot taller and so

141
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: much to six years older, from a boy to a man.

142
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks so different, it's crazy.

143
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean he was just like unrecognizable. Yeah, okay,

144
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: So this episode aired back to back with the series finale,

145
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: like we said, with Dreams True as part of a

146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: special two part finale.

147
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,480

Speaker 2: two point seven million viewers.

149
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,960

00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: highest viewership since Tested, which aired fifteen episodes.

151
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: Really and people saw me get ScDs and they're like,

152
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm out, I'm done with this shows.

00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: Actually forty four episodes ago.

163
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: Howard Bamboo makes his first appearance since season two's Funeral

164
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 2: seventy eight episodes ago, and it marks his final appearance

165
00:08:59,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: on the series.

166
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: Oh well, almost everybody's final appearance. Yeah. This is only

167
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: the second episode in the series with the new Miracle title.

168
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: The first was one hundred and season five.

169
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: Coincidentally, both one hundred and two thousand and nine are

170
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: the twelfth episodes of the respective seasons.

171
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: Jenna love that it's the only episode of season six

172
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: in which Roderick and Sam do not appear.

173
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: Sam is notably absent for the first time since the

174
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: backup Plan thirteen episodes earlier, and that rather.

175
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: For delivery, just his third line of dialogue in the

176
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: entire series.

177
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: I love seeing him there. That made me really happy.

178
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: Ches Dejoon, he's a part of the Ogs. It's just

179
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: so funny because man, if I RM, I'd be like, yeah,

180
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: that's why I left.

181
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: This episode includes the final voiceovers from Artie, Kurt, Mercedes, Rachel,

182
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: and Tina Oh.

183
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: And Mercedes mother makes her first and only on screen appearance.

184
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: As a result, Tina remains the only original directions member

185
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: whose parents never appear on the show.

186
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Shocker two thousand and nine was originally scheduled to air

187
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: before a wedding, but was ultimately pushed to air with

188
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: the finale Good choices.

189
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: We also, I know you and I were talking about

190
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: this beforehand. We also are under the impression that they

191
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 2: were debating airing this as the series finale. So having

192
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: correct the debating which episode would go first?

193
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: Correct, I think it's right. I mean I didn't watch

194
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I haven't watched the final episode yet, so I don't know. No,

195
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: but this feels right to me, right because yeah, I

196
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to in the future episode right exactly. We're

197
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: looking to the future, not looking backwards.

198
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: The episode underwent revisions due to the schedule change. It

199
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: was initially written by Ned Martel, but parts were rewritten

200
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: by Ryan Ian and Brad. While the full exon of

201
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: the changes are known, one confirmed alteration was the inclusion

202
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: of Blame, who did not appear in the original script.

203
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: I thought that was funny when he turned around. I

204
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: really like that. The best Kurt is shown sewing on

205
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: his machine is the same one he airs during his

206
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,119
Speaker 1: iconic single Ladies performance in Gregor Cute.

207
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: I love all those things.

208
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: I know the Lea dregs.

209
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 2: So this episode summary Fox again, just like with the

210
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: airing schedule, they were like, you know what, We're just

211
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: gonna throw in the summaries as one. We're not going

212
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: to waste any anytime here. The letters are valuable, so

213
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: we can only use so many, So they first account

214
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: the summaries are Glee goes back in time to find

215
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: out why the original members of the new directions initially

216
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: signed up for Glee Club. Then Glee flashes forward to

217
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: see how the characters' lives have progressed five years down

218
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: the road in the all new special two hour series

219
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: finale episode.

220
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Oh okay, it's two thousand and nine and we're filling

221
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: in the gaps from the pilot, which I love this idea.

222
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: This was so much fun. I remembered so excited. There

223
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: were some very iconic looks that need to be recreated. Leah,

224
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: like no lashes, dark eyebrows, Amber's quintessential Mercedes wardrobe. Oh

225
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: my god, she looked just as young as she didn't. Monster.

226
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: It's like, damn, I remember having very much shorter hair

227
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: at the time we filmed this, and blonde, so they

228
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: had to spray paint my hair essentially and then throw

229
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: in extensions then put the blue in, and I remember

230
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: coming home at night and like, I had to fully

231
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: shower every night after we shot because there would be

232
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: black like spray paint all over my pillow, all over

233
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: my shot. If I didn't. It was like if I

234
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: rub my hands over my hair, it would be like

235
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: black on my hands. Anyway, it was really fun, but.

236
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: They put hair out of funds in my bangs because

237
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: my hair was so much shorter. In truth, I was

238
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 2: just losing it. I didn't know that. Yeah, so that's

239
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: like the swoop isn't really swooping as a shit I

240
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: ever would have noticed.

241
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: What a great axtension. Kevin and Chris. His hair is

242
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: usually flipped up at this point. They had to do

243
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: like the comb over mart like again, and it was

244
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: just he's just so different looking than he was when

245
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: he was eighteen, obviously, so he was like the sort

246
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: of thumb. I think that was like, Okay, this is

247
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: a flashback, not a recreation, or maybe it is a recreation,

248
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: but he's still Kurt.

249
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: What I really love, though, is you could see how

250
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: everybody's acting style has changed or how they play the characters.

251
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 2: And I think that's a good thing of the growth

252
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: of the characters, the maturity of the characters, and how

253
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: we all go back or revert to, you know, how

254
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: we originally were doing it where everyone was just like

255
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: a little more extreme.

256
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Yes, it was little a tiny bit more satirical, like yes.

257
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it was really fun to watch Leah original

258
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: brand Rachel.

259
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: The speed at which she speaks is unmatched.

260
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: The seriousness. There's no irony in anything.

261
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: No, and it's just it's so good, but it's set

262
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: the tone. And like her and Kurt in the scene

263
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: in the when they first meet it in the Cafegier Aia, yes,

264
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, this is.

265
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: So let's go through that. They do like a lot

266
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: of character service here, which is really nice, I think

267
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: for us personally to like see how not just our

268
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: own characters, but all the other characters that we love

269
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: on the show, how they came to be. And we

270
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: start off with Kurt, which was a little surprising to me.

271
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: They started with that one.

272
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: Well, the depression storyline of this, yes, because but I

273
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: like it because we know Kurt to be, you know,

274
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: so strong and strong willed and very much himself. But

275
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: the likelihood that he was always that way seems like

276
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: a bit of a stretch, and so we do get

277
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: you know, him going through school, having a really tough

278
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: time and looking at these incredible pamphlets outside of Emma's office.

279
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: We needed one more pamphlet, luck, we need of course

280
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: an old school jamo with like the hand sanitizer. It

281
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: always like just so good. Yeah, so Kurt's obviously looking

282
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: at this pamphlet that then sparks uh, Miss Pillsbury's concern

283
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: to bring Burton, which was a missy Bert, which I

284
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: was like, please bring in Bert and be concerned about

285
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: this pamphlet, because like, if we just wash over this,

286
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: I'll kind of be upset.

287
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: I also thought it was like you know how it's

288
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: happened in the past where they really sort of work

289
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: people into an episode just for the sake of working

290
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: them in, where all of this felt really natural, inorganic,

291
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: and it felt like a regular Glee episode.

292
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed. I think that because the pilot was so

293
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: perfect and flushed out in so many ways, and they

294
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: had so much time over the sixth the course of

295
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: six years to get to know us and our characters,

296
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: like going back, I would imagine that the writers were

297
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: like this, this is kind of easy because you're literally

298
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: filling in the blanks, not that there was no like

299
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: obviously it was brilliant on its own right, but like

300
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that you're like, oh, I'm so stumped,

301
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: like where would Kurt be or where would Tina bee

302
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: or where you know what I mean?

303
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: And knowing which relationships are going to end up working out, yeah,

304
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: and so being able to build upon those like watching

305
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: Kurt and Mercedes form their friendship or watching Rachel and

306
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: Kurt form their friendship, and how she gets him into

307
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: the glee club, and also the reason why he joins

308
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: a GLI glee club in the first place is because

309
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: Burt and courages him to join a team. Like all

310
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 2: of those little things are so simple but also so fulfilling.

311
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: I think as a viewer totally, I just really enjoyed

312
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 2: all those puzzle pieces just fitting together perfectly.

313
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed. So Kurt promises Bert that he's going to

314
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: join He's not going to hide in his basement, and

315
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: he's going to join a club. I think Bert was

316
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: thinking more along the lines of the football team or

317
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: like you know, like something like that, but Kurt finds

318
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: it falls into his lap. Really, he went to the cafeteria.

319
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: Nowhere to sit the bullies, Puckin' Krowsky. We'll let him

320
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: sit at the table. So he sits next to Rachel,

321
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: who's filling out all of her you know, flyers for

322
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: all of her clubs. And she tells Kurt that mister

323
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: Sue is heading up the glee club and she's going

324
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: to test his chops. And so they go to the

325
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: auditorium and they sing Popular, Adorable. Fun to see popular

326
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: as a duet, and.

327
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: Like interesting to see which characters they're singing as. I mean,

328
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: obviously they're splitting it, but like anyway, that's the side point,

329
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: but I liked seeing Leah sing Yes, those parts, the

330
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: Kristen parts. I mean, it's all Christian.

331
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: Parts, but you know what I mean, Yes, I know

332
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: what you mean. I also like to.

333
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: Talk about this Bert Bert here in storyline speaking of

334
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: everybody sort of going back to how they were playing

335
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: it before. Obviously that as actors you expect everyone to

336
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: do that, but it was so startling to see it

337
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: because you know, he gets called into Emma's office and

338
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: he's like, I know what this is about, and it's

339
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 2: not about that, right, And the way he addresses Kurt

340
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 2: or addresses that subject. The depression to Kurt is like

341
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: a little harsher than he ends up being in a

342
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: couple episodes time, if this was in sequential order, right, Yes,

343
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: and so it's so it was so nice, brilliant on

344
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: his part. Yes, and also just a little jarring. I'm like, oh,

345
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: Bert is just a little harsh here. He's it's like

346
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need you to you know, sort of like

347
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: the tough dad. But we know he's a big old

348
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: softie who loves Kurt and really ushers him into like

349
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: his brave new world coming up shortly.

350
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Uh Okay, So Kurt, Kurt and

351
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: Rachel they sing their song. He's joining the Blag Club,

352
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: or at least attempting to join the Big Club or

353
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: signing up to audition. Yes.

354
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: But Kurt then sees Mercedes and he's like, I need

355
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: you to help me and then says some questionable, questionable

356
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 2: things about only referencing black singers. Yeah that felt a

357
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: little Yeah, but we get the start of their friendship, yes,

358
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 2: which is nice. Yes, the same thing happened with Rachel

359
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: and Mercedes. It was all very very questionable, yes, Yes,

360
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: And we get a lot more Mercedes. We see Mercedes

361
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: is the big star of her church, and we get

362
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 2: into her storyline and she doesn't have many friends at school,

363
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 2: so she signs up for glee club, and you know,

364
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: and now that she's started this friendship with Kurt and

365
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: she sees him, I mean, you know, partially, I do

366
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: love the little foreshadow to that she's gonna have a

367
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: crush on him coming up so cute, but she's like,

368
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 2: you dress loudly. You just need your body to reflect

369
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: that your posture, and you know, all of that. Love

370
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: it and I love getting to see you know, more

371
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: Mercedes outside of school. We get to meet her mom.

372
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, so she goes to the church, right,

373
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: and Rachel's gonna go. She asks to go see her

374
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: at church. She and Rachel kind of approaches Mercedes because

375
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: she knows she's got a reputation, that she's got a

376
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: really good voice, and she's signing up for glue club, right,

377
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: and that she's going to essentially like they're gonna be competition.

378
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: Rachel already sees it, so she's like, let's go and

379
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: let me come to your church. She goes to church.

380
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: We go to church, Take me to church chamber and

381
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: she does. I mean she certainly does. She sings song honestly,

382
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: just one more song like for forever to just like

383
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: show her chops. I just was like, great, there's nothing

384
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: else I need. That's a wrap for me.

385
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

386
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: She sounds amazing and I love it that Rachel went though.

387
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: But Rachel is clearly threatened, which we know fuels her yeah,

388
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: and also threatens her right.

389
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: Like, Mercedes clocks it immediately because Rachel's doing her sort

390
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 2: of gas lightly thing that she does where she's like

391
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 2: complimenting her and being like, oh, our voices are different,

392
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna be doing this. I'm gonna be doing this,

393
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: and Mercedes sees through it immediately and it's like no, no, no,

394
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: no, no no. I can do everything that you can do, right,

395
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: like don't put me in a box, right, And there

396
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: lies the crux of their relationship for the rest of

397
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: the series.

398
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Yes, and I love the like when you mentioned we

399
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: meet mercedes mom for the first one, first and only

400
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: time and her mom kind of clocks the whole uh

401
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: interaction outside of the church, and then we go to

402
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: glee club and mister Shu gives Rachel the solo right

403
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: and Mercedes gets upset, and so she goes home and

404
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: her mom's like, what's wrong, and so Mercedes like, I'm

405
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: just gonna quit. I'm just gonna quit. There's no there's

406
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: no use. I'm not gonna get the solos. I'm not

407
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna be able to shine like whatever. And what the

408
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: mom says is so So it really does feel the

409
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: rest of their relationship or what we're what we've seen

410
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: in the past of like great being around great people

411
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: is only going to make you greater. It's gonna drive you,

412
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: it's going to motivate you. And they really did like

413
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: they can hold their own again. It's like kind of

414
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: like the Santana Rachel feod that we loved so much,

415
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: like they make each other better. So to see Rachel

416
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: and Mercedes kind of have that competition, sometimes friendly sometimes

417
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: not in the show like it's it's really I loved

418
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: that scene with her mom and her It was.

419
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: Really nice and it just it just made me want

420
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: more time to have more Mercedes and her mom.

421
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: Yes, like I wish I had.

422
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean, also, speaking of you out of Santana is

423
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: because obviously in the beginning, the Glee Club was just

424
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: the five of us. It did make me want some

425
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: more origin stories for everybody else who came in, because

426
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: it's even though yeah, it was just a few of

427
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: us in the beginning that wasn't the Glee Club, Like

428
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: the Glee Club was like the original twelve. Yeah, yeah, exactly,

429
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 2: And it feels weird to not get some of it.

430
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: Like I wanted to see Santana and Quinn in the background,

431
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: and yeah, I wanted more of that, But I get it.

432
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: There's only so much time, you know, forty minutes. I know.

433
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 2: That's why they rolled our storylines together, right and.

434
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: And look, I think also, which I loved, but also

435
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: like to then if you know where the end is

436
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: and you're backing into it and the end is the

437
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: don't stop with the five yes, yeah, like yeah, of

438
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: course we're driving your story.

439
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

440
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: I love that they rolled our stories into one. I

441
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: did too, so happy, loved and I love doing a voiceover.

442
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: So Tina is I like this storyline because now we

443
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: reveal that Tina always knew that the stutter was fake,

444
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: Like yes, it's like yeah, seasons and like you know,

445
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: she reveals it obviously in Wheels, But like I was, like,

446
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: this is just it feels so good, like she had

447
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: this she was in control.

448
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: You can retroactively fix the story.

449
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: But it was really cute. And I also liked how

450
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: it was interesting to watch back that story because it's

451
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: my own, or like Tina's and how they saw it

452
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: or how they wrote it. Of like her knowing that

453
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: she could be a big star if she wasn't so

454
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: shy and like didn't hide behind the stutter, Like there

455
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: was a confidence about her that people in the audience

456
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 1: could see that she always had. She just it was

457
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: just hiding, you know. Yeah, I loved it.

458
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: It was nice to hear from her like that. She's like,

459
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: I'm goth. I hate everything. I don't want to be

460
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: liked by anyone whatever. I want to be friends with

461
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 2: people who aren't liked And it was it felt really powerful.

462
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: Tina has always felt powerful.

463
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but in the pilot, like I don't think she

464
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: knew her I don't think I knew her power yet,

465
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: like in the in the pilot, you know, because I

466
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: don't think anybody really knew who she was yet.

467
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: But but like the goth of it all, I think

468
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: it's like drag where it helps you. It gives you

469
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: that exterior confidence that bleeds into the interior. Yes, and

470
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: so you definitely had that in the pilot episode, like yeah,

471
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: I think putting on those clothes and the hair extensions,

472
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: like you stomped through those hallways and like I kissed

473
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 2: the girl was a confident performance. So I remember you

474
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: like watching the pilot to try to get like the

475
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 2: movements down to like figure out how are we going

476
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: to like match it up again? What was that whole process?

477
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's funny because gosh, shooting

478
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: the actual pilot was such a blur, or that the audition.

479
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: The auditions were such a blur.

480
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: Because it felt so impromptu.

481
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: They were so rushed. I mean I think they were

482
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: like something else got cut. They could fit it in

483
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: that day. At the end of the day, none of

484
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: us had rehearsed them. I barely knew the music. I

485
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: don't think I rehearsed with Brad at all. So like

486
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: it was very off the cuffin It was like, I

487
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: guess I'm from theater. I guess this is what I do,

488
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: Like I just have to go do it. So I

489
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: think Zach had given me like two or three things.

490
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: This one was one of them. The finger wave and

491
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: then obviously the the Groydon hit, which became like the thing.

492
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: So I remember looking back and wanting to recreate obviously

493
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: the ones that we did from the pilot, but then

494
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: also adding in a few other appropriate moves that Tina

495
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: would have done in that moment of time, and then

496
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: also just knowing that you were back there and aiding

497
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: in your you know, watching of me, we added like

498
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: the little butt thing where she leans over, which is

499
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: so funny. Yeah, I just I think you just had to,

500
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: like I just wanted to like dig back into goth Tina,

501
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: which felt so foreign to me but home and you

502
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: like step into that costume again. It was so fun

503
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: to see them like recreate all of that. But yeah,

504
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: that was really it. I mean it was just fun

505
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: to like do it at it extended and like an

506
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: extended version.

507
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 2: Of it, I mean, like have an intentional version of

508
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: it that you could actually record, have time to rehearse.

509
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: It, yes, yes, although I'm sure we didn't rehearse it

510
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: all that much.

511
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: But it's also like you have the edit too, so

512
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: like you have the edit of the pilot, so there's

513
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: all that time you're not necessarily shown you can add

514
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: in all those new.

515
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: Moves, yes, exactly. Now you never got an audition.

516
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: No, I just had to sit down you rock in

517
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: the boat, which I do like that we see like

518
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: shee was signing the parts once we're all into the

519
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: glee club and seeing the scene right before that, which

520
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: was very cute and fun, and also that that was

521
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: the day like none of us could keep it together.

522
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: We shot all those choir room scenes back to back

523
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: and it was like Leah was out of her mind

524
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: in a great way because she had some like crazy

525
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: offensive things to.

526
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: Say, and when she did then they were like I

527
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: remember her doing that to me and Amber that one

528
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: line and Amber could Amber not losing it? It was

529
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: so And then also watching her with that tie on

530
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: and the best like from the old with the sit

531
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: down look and like it just was all so it

532
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: just made me giggle so much.

533
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: If you have somebody sitting there so committed to saying

534
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: those crazy ass things to you, it is really hard

535
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: to keep a straight face, it really is.

536
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: And like seeing old Rachel like that, like and where

537
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: she's how far she's come? Like it was a really

538
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: a fun day to shoot because Paris was there and

539
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: I remember there's like a selfie that Paris had tweeted

540
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: out with us looking in our two thousand and nine

541
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: loves and like it was just so special. We did

542
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: the sit down your rock in the boat post and yeah, yeah,

543
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: there's so that brings you back. That's right that I

544
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: feel like those scenes in particular really got us back

545
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: to like physically took me back to a place of

546
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: sense memory where we were like in rehearsals for the point.

547
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you also don't know how people are going

548
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: to react. There's something like getting in the clothes and

549
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: old makeup and we had all been through so much.

550
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: You don't know how that's going to feel. I know

551
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: that sounds very actory, but when you're all in it

552
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: together and you're back on the sets and it just

553
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: it just it feels so I wish I wish I

554
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: could verbalize it better, but it's it was really strange,

555
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: surreal mind, that is what it was.

556
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, That's exactly right.

557
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: So Artie is in love Atina, has been in love

558
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: Atina so cute. We know that from the beginning, and

559
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: in his head he's all like lovey dovey, and then

560
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: he starts saying, you know, the chovenistic things outside.

561
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: But what what happened with how did Pony come about?

562
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: Did they? I remember I vaguely remember them asking you

563
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: what your audition song might have been? Like how did

564
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: they get to Pony?

565
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: Kelly texted me mm hmmm and was like, what do

566
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: you want your audition song to be?

567
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: Love that? And had you thought about it before? Well?

568
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: Throughout the entire show it had been like a running thing.

569
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was like with Zach or whoever,

570
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: like Pony would be like Artie's song.

571
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: And I don't know why.

572
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: I think because I think probably because I never had

573
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: an audition song, like what would it most likely be?

574
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: So I know when Kelly texted me, obviously you don't

575
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: know if things are going to clear right, if you're

576
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: going to get the rights. Also, some of the lyrics

577
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: of Pony are really dirty, and so I just didn't

578
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: know if that was going to work. But you should,

579
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: like right, I said, like, it's it's Pony. But here

580
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: are a couple backups. I wonder if I have I

581
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: wonder if I have I created a note like in

582
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: my phone, Oh my god, because then it was like

583
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: a really big deal, like I was really scared to

584
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: like mess it up because I'm like, oh, I think

585
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: they're going to probably pick something I suggest, and I

586
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: just don't want to get this wrong.

587
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: Right. Well, They're like, if you suggest it, then you

588
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: should be able to do.

589
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: It right, and I and like it needs to like

590
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: fit the character. You know, I wasn't the one making

591
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: character decisions.

592
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: I right, Pony is. It's so right though, and I'm

593
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: so glad it did clear.

594
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were texting back and forth and I was

595
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: I almost regretted sending like an option B, an option C,

596
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: because I'm like just with I didn't want somebody else

597
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: to like scandals and be like, oh actually that one.

598
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: But I mean telling you it was in safe hands.

599
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: So funny it worked out. It's so funny. Also, can

600
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: we just talk about Okay, So, Pony is it so good?

601
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: You sound great? It's very funny, how serious you were

602
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: doing it. We love it. Tina was all about it.

603
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: Mister Shoe was all about it, which is problematic, but

604
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: he also was confused by mine, but he liked yours. Well,

605
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: double standard. Yeah, a girl can be weird, but a

606
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: boy can be Yeah, a perv and still it's cool. Goodbye, Yeah,

607
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: but girls be appropriate, don't get it. We're in the

608
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: cafeteria once again, which again like bring it full circle.

609
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: We love being a cafeteria. It's like Wheels with Paris

610
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: directing and the the two other goth like fun characters

611
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 1: be Taylor and our two counterparts at our lunch table,

612
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: who are bullies to Kurt and Rachel. They spilled spaghetti

613
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: all over them. I'll never forget them in the background

614
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: with like spaghetti on their heads. We get dared.

615
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 2: I love that we were. The reason why we end

616
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 2: up in the Glee club is because we got dared

617
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: and the bullderers were like, yeah, oh oh no, don't

618
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: make me out a super glee club.

619
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't already gonna do it. It was so fun.

620
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: I do think it's such like a gift to be

621
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: able to learn new things about your characters this late

622
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: into the show and it was just really sweet, Like

623
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: I love that. I love it too. I also like

624
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: we were daring these people to go bully Rachel and Kurt.

625
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: I feel like that was an already like let's be

626
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: like silly and funny kind of thing and.

627
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: Like trying to be cool, trying to.

628
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: Feb they weren't going to do it, and believing they

629
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: weren't actually going to do it.

630
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get a really you know, the pilot, it's

631
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: really all about Shoe and Rachel, And we get a

632
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: lot of you know, Shoe doing the starting up the

633
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: glee club and we'll get there, but the Rachel of

634
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: it all. Some of the most memorable parts of the

635
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: pilot for me are the Rachel storyline and the voiceovers

636
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: my Space, her person behind it. Yes, all of that

637
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 2: fully comes back in this episode. We get more MySpace,

638
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: we get more bullying comments we have to and like

639
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: her saying she invested money.

640
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: All of hers for money.

641
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was I mean, you know, in the glee

642
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: club immediately, like we know she assumed she's going to

643
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: get all the solos and fully has a freak out,

644
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 2: and it's it's just nice to revisit to see her

645
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: again so green and talking about how her dream is

646
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 2: to get to Broadway and she's not going to blow

647
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: it and she's gonna get there, and then we know

648
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: she does blow it obviously. Yeah, And like having her

649
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 2: early connection with mister Shu and being like, look, I'm here,

650
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 2: I'm going to be the leader of it. And she

651
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 2: gets slushy. We're introduced to the slushyet, yes, and all

652
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: all of these things again, it's like those puzzle pieces

653
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: fitting together and seeing her embody Old Rachel was so

654
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: fun to watch.

655
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: Definitely. Then obviously we have Finn, which we have to

656
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: like include him in the pilot. So I love that

657
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: they did that. I love that they were able to

658
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: incorporate him without us, you know, them having to like

659
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: pull ridiculous class.

660
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: And it feeling real because if you have like like

661
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: the king of the school, yeah, like you're we're not

662
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 2: friends with him yet, yeah, he we are not part

663
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: of his group, and we think he is some other thing.

664
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: And so I like having all the side conversations and

665
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 2: like talking behind the back about Finn felt.

666
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: Very high school. Also, ironically enough, this was kind of

667
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: the vibe that happened during the pilot. Fully, so Corey

668
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: getting stuck in Vancouver without his visa, waiting for the

669
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: visa to come through so that he could come down

670
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: and start rehearsing so we could start shooting the pilot.

671
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: We hadn't met him yet, we didn't know who our

672
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Finn was. We'd only heard about him, and so it

673
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: really was the five of us until Corey joined. Yeh,

674
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: it got came down, and so it was so weird

675
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: to feel that again in such a different sad way.

676
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: But like we didn't have Corey for a Finn for

677
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: a long time, no, you.

678
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 2: Know, and having all those in between scenes of talking

679
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: about like do you like how we treated us and

680
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 2: all of that, and like we had that. Remember when

681
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: we first met Corey, he couldn't officially start working yet,

682
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: but he was in like he came to the studio

683
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 2: and so like we met him and then we went

684
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: back and like he briefed about how we were all

685
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: friends already. Yes, it was very very very similar.

686
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: Yes, so uh, Kurt is talking to Mercedes about how

687
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: he's worried that like Finn has quit and like Uh

688
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: has like quits already and then rejoined. So they call

689
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: an emergency meeting, which is the choir room that we

690
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, those wonderful choir room scenes that we have,

691
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: and then we get like the moving speech from Rachel,

692
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: which would have been like the moving speech from mister

693
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: Shue that we would have gotten. Rachel took that, which

694
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: was really nice and I don't remember filming that part,

695
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: but I love that and actually reminded me of the

696
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: scene where mister Shue tells us he's leaving the glee

697
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: club in the mile.

698
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 2: I remember because we did, Yeah, those scenes that were

699
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: just the five of us in the fire room, we

700
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: did all on the same day, and I remember just

701
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 2: like going to change really quick, coming back and doing them,

702
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 2: and they because it was just the five of us,

703
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 2: because we had all been working together for so long,

704
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: it was so quick and easy. Paris is quick and easy,

705
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: and we had like a like a yeah, and like

706
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 2: we knew exactly how to play these characters and totally

707
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: nothing ever felt so locked in as those scenes, like

708
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 2: we immediately just like we're back in this is actually

709
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine again, but now we have all

710
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 2: this experience and we know how to do it. It

711
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: was almost one of those things where it happened so

712
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: fast that I wish this choir room scene took longer, yea,

713
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 2: so we could like live in it. But we did

714
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: have Like you said, we had all that opportunity to

715
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: take photos and sort of like joke around because it

716
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 2: was moving so quickly, which was not a luxury we

717
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: normally had, no I know, so it was nice to

718
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: be able to just enjoy a bit.

719
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: It was one of the best times of the shooting

720
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: the two thousand and nine.

721
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 2: The other part of this is the adults, because we

722
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: get mister Shue finding out that the glee Club is

723
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: coming back, and he talks to Figgins, we get more Figgins,

724
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 2: we get Terry.

725
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: Harry of all when they come around the corner, it

726
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: is just what a great reveal.

727
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: Oh God, in the craft room and we get sheets

728
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 2: and things and Howard Bamboo and Rachel going to sheets

729
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: and things and talking like come on, and you see

730
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 2: I feel like Terry's little speech to her yep, it's

731
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: the perfect way to sum up her entire motivation for everything.

732
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: We're like, yeah, it's pretty horrible, but it's like a

733
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: really grounded yes response. Yes, And you're like, Okay, she's crazy.

734
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: That's why though we love Terry so much, is because

735
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: that's her whole thing. It's like it's insane, but you're like.

736
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Like I see, I don't agree with it,

737
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 2: but I see how you got there.

738
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly exactly.

739
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: And it's sad. And you see from the very beginning

740
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 2: how like she's holding shoe back and like Shoe obviously

741
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 2: just has the best intentions and how he's already stressed

742
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 2: about the infighting and all this, like it's so innocent

743
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 2: and like just pure fun that I it was really

744
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: I you know, we didn't get enough. I think, like

745
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: Will and Emma in the later stages of this show. Yeah,

746
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: and there's something so comforting about seeing Terry and Emma

747
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: and Will all back in their original form. And the

748
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 2: craziest thing to me was seeing Sue play Will played

749
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: basketball together once.

750
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: A week friendship kind of. He's like, we played ball

751
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: once week. She's like best friends, Like are.

752
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: You kidding me?

753
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: Also the Jane traveling, it's I was absolutely insane, alick

754
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: so good.

755
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: I love. That's my out of all like the storylines

756
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 2: that we see beforehand, you know, like Kurt and Mercedes

757
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: becoming friends, Kurt and Rachel becoming friends, You and me,

758
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 2: Will and Sue is what I needed.

759
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: And the just the inception of the rivalry is so brilliant.

760
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: It's so brilliant.

761
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: Sue sees the long game of this of if they

762
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: do well, we're not going to get the funding, and

763
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: that's all I care about, and she immediately turns them

764
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 2: their weekly basketball games with her best friend, yep into

765
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: the start of the rivalry, and it's really wonderful to see.

766
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 2: And I also I believe the first shot of Sue

767
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: dribbling and shooting is a double and it doesn't even

768
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 2: look like her, and it's a really bad wig and

769
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it.

770
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: I honestly like, I think we have to lean into

771
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: that that we know it's like it's very deaf, yes, yes,

772
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 1: so yeah, we see she gives him an ultimatum, she says,

773
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: drop the glee club or they won't be friends, and

774
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: he's like, are you kidding? You don't want to make

775
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: an enemy of me? And that's that's it, that's what

776
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: we got.

777
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 2: And then Terry's whole thing of getting him to quit,

778
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 2: to go get a different job because she's pregnant all

779
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: happens within this episode. And so he's leaving and we

780
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: see how sad he is and everyone doesn't want him

781
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 2: to go. All of that, and then we see from

782
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: his perspective, don't stop believing starting and it works every time, chills.

783
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: Every time, every time, every time.

784
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: So smart just to put it in there. It works, brilliant, brilliant.

785
00:43:53,239 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: I yeah, no notes, no, no notes. So well again,

786
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: this is such so satisfying to me.

787
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what the fans think of this. I

788
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 2: would like to know what everybody thinks of this.

789
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: But I'm assuming if you like the pilot and you

790
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: like to show, you're gonna like this episode.

791
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just I also felt like it looked

792
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: more like the pilot, like they made it visually.

793
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: Yes, look, because it was film done film, and the

794
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: colors were different and you know all the things. But

795
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: we did it.

796
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: Should we great some performances?

797
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

798
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: Popular a A, I'm his child A plus, I kiss.

799
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: Girl a pony A.

800
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: Plus plus all the pluses.

801
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's see some tarty tarty takes, uh cringe moments.

802
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 2: I mean, Rachel says so many racist things.

803
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: Figgins like fan that there's cripples.

804
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 2: And it's just things you should say galore.

805
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, best dance, mooth pony. I don't know.

806
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 2: I think I Kissed a Girl has the most iconic.

807
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: It's all.

808
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 2: I mean, using choreo at all in this episode is

809
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: a really loose. Yeah.

810
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it takes us back to season one. Best song.

811
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 2: I liked it all.

812
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: I did too. I mean, like, if I had to

813
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: pick don't stop, I guess would be it. But did

814
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: you see Leila Fernandez doing taxi camp karaoke? Like yes,

815
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: don't start and they don't stop me. It was like

816
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night or like early in

817
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: the morning, and I remember watching it without the sound

818
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: and I was like, I gotta know physically version or not,

819
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: so I like, turn this south up a little. I

820
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: was usual Leila for names. Okay, best pormance by a

821
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: prop I think the pamphlets.

822
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think so too. I missed that. Yeah.

823
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of props in here, but

824
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 2: I think the pamphlets it did something. I got a

825
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 2: little flutter in my heart, you know, yes, yes, and

826
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: that's not an arrhythmia.

827
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: Best lines, oh man, I mean, if we're going the

828
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: emotional route, the Rachel speech at the end.

829
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: Fair Rachel's saying, Okay, I wouldn't even being miss Sygone

830
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: or Black Dorothy.

831
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 1: From the Whiz, that's the one that could. We couldn't

832
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: stop lamping.

833
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: No, And I think I started laughing during this episode too, well, partially.

834
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: Because we probably we could not keep it together. And

835
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: when I say could not, like she couldn't get through

836
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: it and I remember leaving being like you guys, like,

837
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: let me just get through this, please, because it's hard

838
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: and it's fast, and she you know, you only want

839
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: to do that a few times. Like I think we

840
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: were messing it up for her.

841
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: I know it's terrible, but that might be it for

842
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 2: me because maybe the personal memories attached to it. But

843
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: I couldn't I couldn't stop laughing.

844
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm terry saying she's but psychic. Okay performance MVP.

845
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 2: Oh wow. I mean I feel like we've got to

846
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 2: give it to the ensemble.

847
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, a group effort here, islot.

848
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, MVP okay, okay. Shit. We found on TikTok Jenna

849
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 2: all right, we got a few. So the real men

850
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: without hats who famously sang Safety Dance. Someone asked them,

851
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: what the hell does the girl say in that song?

852
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: He says, a lot of people think she says and

853
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 2: sing and that's incorrect. Even the Glee version says and sing,

854
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 2: but it's actually say dance in French.

855
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he talks about Glee. Yeah, so I love Wow,

856

871
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: it's on the treadmill and it is trying to be

872
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 2: trying to be mysterious at the gym when in reality,

873
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,759
