Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome to and that's what you really miss podcasts. Your
Speaker 1: voice is so soothing. Oh thanks, Q and A Q
Speaker 1: and a Q and A today it's Q and A
Speaker 1: da qa. You guys really started to bring it with
Speaker 1: these questions and we're really appreciative. Well, I like this one.
Speaker 1: Do you guys wish you got to come to the
Speaker 1: UK more times as a cast? I sure do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had so much fun there every time we went.
Speaker 1: Every time and we were there quite a bit. I
Speaker 1: feel like we were really we went to London a
Speaker 1: lot or the UK in general, and like it was.
Speaker 2: You and I and Chris Namber did we get that
Speaker 2: extra trip that first time? But I feel like because
Speaker 2: every time we did go there with everyone, we didn't
Speaker 2: have a lot of free time because we were working. Our
Speaker 2: schedules were past, and so it would have been fun
Speaker 2: to have a lighter schedule and go so you really
Speaker 2: could just sort of hang out play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have been nice. I love it there.
Speaker 1: Also going like when there's not it wasn't like a
Speaker 1: ton of pop rozzi because they have like no rules there,
Speaker 1: so it's just really crazy. That was wild. This is
Speaker 1: a good one. Did you know that if you searched
Speaker 1: Jenna's past relationships it says that you guys are divorced.
Speaker 1: Good who got the house? This is a conscious uncoupling.
Speaker 1: But we're still friends. We have to raise his children together.
Speaker 1: It's right. I love that. I do too. Someone said
Speaker 1: question for Kevin, how different would your experience have been
Speaker 1: if you had been out? Ooh, I sort of wish
Speaker 1: I was. To be honest, really, it would have just
Speaker 1: been easier. I think it would have been easier in
Speaker 1: some ways, very difficult in other ways. But I think
Speaker 1: the experience would have been quite different. Actually being on
Speaker 1: that show and being a right that would have been
Speaker 1: a very different experience.
Speaker 2: And also maybe it would have like I don't know,
Speaker 2: maybe that's selfish, but like maybe it would have taken
Speaker 2: some of the heat off of Chris.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. It's the right show to be on.
Speaker 1: To be out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have regrets in life, but the one
Speaker 2: every now and I'm like I should have probably should have,
Speaker 2: but it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't, I mean, yeah, would you do? We
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions like this one. Would you
Speaker 1: do a reunion like Friends to go back to the
Speaker 1: sets and talk about the show. I would love to
Speaker 1: do that in theory. In theory, that would be so
Speaker 1: wonderful to do. It's like, it's very hard to think
Speaker 1: about doing though that though, without Corey and Mark and
Speaker 1: Ayah like the people we've lost, because it just it
Speaker 1: would feel incomplete in many many ways. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that's the obviously the biggest challenge of it,
Speaker 2: because I feel like, more than anything, maybe we need
Speaker 2: like a and not televised, like coming together as a
Speaker 2: group first, and when you go through all of that,
Speaker 2: you know, I think it would be quite therapeutic, therapeutic.
Speaker 2: I think it would be good, though, Like they the Friends,
Speaker 2: A lot of people were referencing the Friends reading in
Speaker 2: which I thought was done beautifully. Yeah, but Matt few
Speaker 2: Perry was still alive when that happened, you know, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know what they would have done now and
Speaker 2: how it would have been done differently if they did
Speaker 2: it without him, you know.
Speaker 1: Very true. When is Sandy Ryerson coming on? Not soon enough?
Speaker 1: Stephen Tobolowski, We need him, We need him. Icon Legend.
Speaker 1: Will you do an episode of and that's what you
Speaker 1: really missed is Ardie and Tina. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: if I could. Absolutely not. I actually don't know that
Speaker 1: I could tap back into that. No.
Speaker 2: Only if Brad, Ryan and Ian wrote it then yes,
Speaker 2: Otherwise no. Oh my gosh, is anybody's performance surprising you
Speaker 2: so far this season season four? Honestly, I'm in awe
Speaker 2: of all the new kids. I think I'm like in
Speaker 2: awe of how much they had to do and are
Speaker 2: coming onto this like big show, and I think they're
Speaker 2: all so good. I'm especially in all of Becca who
Speaker 2: was faking having ever been on a set before of
Speaker 2: a TV show and this being her first TV audition
Speaker 2: and booking it and then coming on and crushing it. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm really in awe of her and all.
Speaker 1: The new kids. To be honest, I think they were
Speaker 1: just well Melissa coming out of the gate, like having
Speaker 1: to hold the show so many songs, like sometimes one
Speaker 1: of two songs every episode, Yes, exactly, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: This is not a question. How did you repair the
Speaker 1: damage to your backs after carrying seasons? You know what?
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you so much. The damage has not
Speaker 1: been repaired. Yeah, it's unrepaarable. The bact's only gotten worse.
Speaker 1: Ir Yeah, A lot of people asked about these public's
Speaker 1: video recordings Q and I too, I'm like, what is that?
Speaker 1: What videos of us in the studio? Oh? I get
Speaker 1: it though.
Speaker 2: I like watching videos of people in the studio, Like
Speaker 2: there's Arianna has a lot of great videos of her
Speaker 2: recording vocals, and I think it's different. Yeah, it's different
Speaker 2: when you're in the studio for days on end and
Speaker 2: there's so much time and you can film those things
Speaker 2: and there's no rush and there's no time crunch to
Speaker 2: get a vocal done. We just were not set up
Speaker 2: for success in that way to have a video We
Speaker 2: it worked for us recording, but to also facilitate behind
Speaker 2: the scenes thing. I do wish like we had it.
Speaker 2: It would have been great to see, right, but the
Speaker 2: reality and practicality of filming it is not not possible.
Speaker 2: Do you have any more Diana's stories? Dana's just the best,
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, like the sweetest, most fun I will
Speaker 2: Diana is like a secret like a hostess with the
Speaker 2: mostest Like you go somewhere everyone knows Diana. Yeah, she
Speaker 2: knows how to get you into the coolest places.
Speaker 1: Knows everybody loves a good dance party, like just wants
Speaker 1: to have a good time. Knows a thousand music artists
Speaker 1: that I would never have heard of, just like the
Speaker 1: coolest person. Yeah, cool Cairl.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's what happens when you grew up in the Bay,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: So I went traveling this summer in Europe and I
Speaker 2: just want to give a shout out to these so
Speaker 2: tons of people who came up to me and say
Speaker 2: they listen to the podcast. What Yeah, it was really
Speaker 2: special and loved it. Yeah, it was really sweet. And
Speaker 2: every time I always just so shocked and appreciative because
Speaker 2: I think it means a lot. It's I think it's
Speaker 2: such am I meant to listen to any podcast, and
Speaker 2: it's really sweet that people spend the time and think
Speaker 2: it's worth it. So thank you very much. It was
Speaker 2: a pleasure. Like, if you listen to the podcast, you
Speaker 2: see me on the streets, let me know what's up,
Speaker 2: appreciate it. If there was a reboot, would you want
Speaker 2: a whole new story or continuation of the o G timeline?
Speaker 1: Oh god, a new one? Yeah, I think a new one.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I think it's possible to have a continuation of the
Speaker 2: og one. I just think it's harder because you're playing into,
Speaker 2: like you want the nostalgia of what the original series brought,
Speaker 2: and that's always so hard. But it's possible maybe a.
Speaker 1: Little bit of both storylines, and then you bring in
Speaker 1: the old characters and kind of bring back some of
Speaker 1: their stuff, you know.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, which season made you feel most disconnected from
Speaker 2: each other? I think the shock of season four?
Speaker 1: Yes, the split. The split was.
Speaker 2: Pretty jarring, jarring. That was I think my season five.
Speaker 2: Season six, you miss everyone, but you're sort of used
Speaker 2: to the disconnection at that point. Season four was pretty
Speaker 2: weird in that way. It was like a brand new show.
Speaker 1: Felt like us.
Speaker 2: We missed everyone a lot. Yeah, I loved all the
Speaker 2: new people, but definitely, you know, you miss your fam.
Speaker 1: I know most shows have table reads, Dick Lee to
Speaker 1: what was that? Like? I wish we had table I
Speaker 1: really wish we did. There's nothing I wish more than
Speaker 1: like most shows. I wouldn't say all of them, but
Speaker 1: most shows you sit around the table with the director
Speaker 1: and all the crew and the people and the cast
Speaker 1: who are in the in the episode, and you read
Speaker 1: through the script just for the first time. Or second
Speaker 1: time or whatever, just to hear it out loud with
Speaker 1: the character's voices on it. We did not have time
Speaker 1: for that. I don't think any of Ryan's shows do
Speaker 1: what he wants, to be honest, and it's something that
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do. I've never done a show
Speaker 1: like that. You you worried. I think it's so fun,
Speaker 1: but I think ours would be ridiculous, like just everybody
Speaker 1: free reign, you know, And I.
Speaker 2: Also think it it takes more time, and so if
Speaker 2: there was any free time, people just wanted to be
Speaker 2: at home staring at a wall. Like that's the other thing,
Speaker 2: if there wasn't already something else to be doing. Were
Speaker 2: the choir room chairs comfortable?
Speaker 1: Were they? I never They never bothered me, which I
Speaker 1: think is a good sign that like it wasn't that uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: like I don't, come to think of it, nobody did. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I think they were comfortable. I mean I wouldn't say,
Speaker 1: like I want to sleep in them, but they were
Speaker 1: definitely like fine for as long as we were in
Speaker 1: There takes a short and in between takes or like
Speaker 1: they're switching camera position, people are sitting in other chairs.
Speaker 1: Someone said once you stop appearing in every episode as
Speaker 1: a regular, does your pay structure change? Yes, it does, well,
Speaker 1: it depends. It depends.
Speaker 2: You normally get paid the same if you show up again. Right,
Speaker 2: But when you're a regular, you're guaranteed a certain number
Speaker 2: of episodes. So let's say Glee's twenty two episodes, I
Speaker 2: actually only appear in nineteen in this season. I still
Speaker 2: pay for twenty three two. So if you are there's
Speaker 2: also different ways to do that. You can be guaranteed
Speaker 2: less episodes. So if it's twenty two episodes season, you
Speaker 2: can be guaranteed ten episodes, but you still get the
Speaker 2: same like episode episodic rate. Okay, how did hair work
Speaker 2: on the show? I swear someone would have bangs and
Speaker 2: then no bangs. Okay, so if I if I'm understanding
Speaker 2: this correct clean the way that you think, Like, sometimes
Speaker 2: there are hair is magic. Hair is magic on a
Speaker 2: show where.
Speaker 1: Wigs happen, clipping bangs happen, sometimes people just cut them
Speaker 1: and that's what you have to work with. But hair
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing. And our hair, our haircrew was the
Speaker 1: department was incredible and they could make anything work. And
Speaker 1: you know you see TEENA in like season four. I
Speaker 1: think late Tina Parker was my hair girl that year,
Speaker 1: and she was a master braider. So I'd be like,
Speaker 1: let's braid my hair every day, and so we'd come
Speaker 1: up with these like ridiculous ways to make things interesting
Speaker 1: and fun. Or I'd send her photos and we'd be like,
Speaker 1: we should do this for this competition or whatever. So anyway,
Speaker 1: our hair department was incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. There wasn't a lot of hair to
Speaker 2: deal with on me, so my experience is quite different.
Speaker 2: But it was usually pretty consistent though also in terms
Speaker 2: of continuity, like from episode to episode, within an episode,
Speaker 2: seem to scene if it wasn't supposed to just change
Speaker 2: in the middle of the scene, sometimes it might it
Speaker 2: was not intentional. What was the trailer situation? Like triple Bangers,
Speaker 2: So we had, Yeah, we had triple Bangers where it
Speaker 2: would be three individual trailers and one long trailer and
Speaker 2: it was done by number on the call sheet, so
Speaker 2: like one, two, three together, four or five six together, seven,
Speaker 2: eight nine. We would have had bigger trailers. I think,
Speaker 2: like at least the main cast would have had bigger
Speaker 2: trailers at some point, but there were too many of us. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you couldn't fit them. We were in the parking lot.
Speaker 2: They had to section off a huge portion of the
Speaker 2: Paramount parking lot and we were just in there for
Speaker 2: seven year. Just poor people that work there. I know,
Speaker 2: who are neighbors?
Speaker 1: Chris, it was Chris, you and me? Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 1: was in the middle. Yeah, because Christ was Sevenuary eight.
Speaker 1: I was nine, right, yes, yeah, yeah, So it was Chris,
Speaker 1: Kevin and.
Speaker 2: Me, which is why if you know the story of
Speaker 2: him pranking me with the spider my toilet, it's easy
Speaker 2: for him because he literally shares a wall with me,
Speaker 2: so he could hear my reaction to it.
Speaker 1: That's funny. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also what was really fun is when we'd be on
Speaker 2: location or something and they would have a director's trailer
Speaker 2: and like Brad or Ryan would be directing, and they
Speaker 2: would have a really beautiful.
Speaker 1: Thing, nice modern updated trailer, and Brad would never use this,
Speaker 1: so he'd be like, just you can go in there
Speaker 1: and sitting there if you want to, just got fireplace
Speaker 1: in his Yes, they have like this cool like neon
Speaker 1: lighting and stuff. We would use their trailers, like especially
Speaker 1: on like night shoots or like if we're on the
Speaker 1: football field and like there was like a big long
Speaker 1: couch and like I remember Diane and I spending one
Speaker 1: day in there and just be like we were like,
Speaker 1: this is amazing. Can we just sleep in this trailer forever? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just spread out. Ours was like a very limited space.
Speaker 1: It was so fine, like it was fine. We were
Speaker 1: never in them, but they were Ours were like from
Speaker 1: the seventies and Brats was like very twenty ten.
Speaker 2: The first season we really did have ones that were
Speaker 2: from the seventies, and then I remember we got like
Speaker 2: the newer ones that were that's right, God, this is
Speaker 2: so much better, which still want to use today. Those
Speaker 2: are like the common ones today. Speaking of that, someone
Speaker 2: said who, someone asked who had the most fun trailer
Speaker 2: out of the cast.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, it didn't. They all looked the same. So we
Speaker 1: would just go hop from trailer to trailer. Trailer was
Speaker 1: the hair and makeup trailer, That's true, that's real. Hot
Speaker 1: ass would come. We'd go hang out in there a lot.
Speaker 1: They would have like tea and snacks set up sometimes,
Speaker 1: or like Roamy would bring her baked goods. Or if
Speaker 1: you were getting sick, you'd go to Kelly Mitchell and
Speaker 1: she'd give you all these natural things to help you know.
Speaker 1: How did you all keep from visibly sweating through your
Speaker 1: outfits during vigorous dances. We didn't. We were definitely sweating.
Speaker 1: They had these big fans for us in between takes
Speaker 1: two that they would come up. They were called monster fans,
Speaker 1: and they would like try and cool us down. But
Speaker 1: they had these big air blowers that they would bring us.
Speaker 1: But I swept through a ton of my costumes, and
Speaker 1: then I saw that some people, like you know, obviously
Speaker 1: they've auctioned off some of our clothing and like people
Speaker 1: get those like regional sectionals dresses. And I'm like, I
Speaker 1: am so sorry. I don't the way that shows up
Speaker 1: to you, because I remember how I left it. Woo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I don't know the state in which I
Speaker 2: don't know how these were cleaned.
Speaker 1: I know, but.
Speaker 2: I would have to. It was so hot. I wore
Speaker 2: sweaters all the time. I luckily you can't really sweat
Speaker 2: through the sweater. If I had one of those like
Speaker 2: sweater vests and a long seat shirt underneath, your's really
Speaker 2: a secondhand to.
Speaker 1: Oh you oh they smell yeah, And I would I'm
Speaker 1: a sweater. You would see everything just by sitting there.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even doing anything. Just there are a couple
Speaker 1: times I thought I was going to pass out. I
Speaker 1: was so hot. Yeah. I could look at you sometimes
Speaker 1: and be like, how are you even? Yeah? And then
Speaker 1: sometimes the stages would be so cold they would run
Speaker 1: that air conditioning all day and you'd be freezing. I
Speaker 1: love it. No, I love it too, but sometimes too cold.
Speaker 1: But it would keep you awake and alert. That's very true.
Speaker 1: Next question is would you have liked to have directed
Speaker 1: an episode of Glee as well? Oh? Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: have loved to now I would back then. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly a little scared back then. But yes. Were you
Speaker 1: happy with your ending with the characters? I was. I
Speaker 1: liked two thousand and nine. I like the ending. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just liked that we ended up every other together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was nice. Is Kevin similar to Kurt? Not really? No, No,
Speaker 1: not at all. I wish I had Kurt's confidence. But no,
Speaker 1: what episode was telling him supposed to be? For? What
Speaker 1: was the performance going to be? I don't remember what
Speaker 1: episode exactly tell him I was supposed to be. It's
Speaker 1: definitely on Google somewhere. The performance was supposed to be
Speaker 1: us walking in like slow mo across the football field.
Speaker 1: It's stunning singing it. That is cinema that I remember.
Speaker 1: I need to see that. Which of your tattoos you
Speaker 1: to get with Harry Styles? Oh, I don't remember. I
Speaker 1: got my tree, tree, there's a tree. I think I
Speaker 1: got the dandelion on my shoulder, wrong shoulder? Did you
Speaker 1: got the dandelion on my shoulder that time? Yes, that
Speaker 1: is such a good one. And the button on my
Speaker 1: wrist that my my daughter loves that now she praces
Speaker 1: all the time. She's like a button. It's so cute. Kevin,
Speaker 1: I got tattooes in honor of Nyah. Yeah, and mine
Speaker 1: is the bow that and I had on the back
Speaker 1: of her neck and so I got it on my arm.
Speaker 1: And my daughter thinks that it's a balet bone now
Speaker 1: so she always says ballet, ballet, and yeah, she loves
Speaker 1: that one. It's her favorite one. Also, the videos you
Speaker 1: see me of her doing ballet, it is possibly the
Speaker 1: cuteste I've ever seen in my entire life. It's actually
Speaker 1: I'm not okay, I'm not okay. It's my favorite thing.
Speaker 1: Her little leg just goes like flying, no control, what's what?
Speaker 1: But she loves it and she knows what she's doing.
Speaker 1: You ask her to like passe and she'll put her
Speaker 1: foot to her knee like it's amazing, They're amazing. Did
Speaker 1: you do ballet at that age? Yeah? I did, but
Speaker 1: I was not as well behaved as she was. I
Speaker 1: was running around the room. I did not listen. You
Speaker 1: grew out of that. Do you love the newbies pots
Speaker 1: some of them? Yeah? Yeah. I also think they're just.
Speaker 2: So good that they're handling even some of the crazier
Speaker 2: things really well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What was your least favorite storyline from season four?
Speaker 1: The Catfish? I remember, I don't hate watching it as
Speaker 1: much as I remember shooting it and being like this
Speaker 1: is so annoying.
Speaker 2: There was there was, Yeah, the catfish thing is very strange.
Speaker 2: The school shooting.
Speaker 1: Did not love? Oh yeah, no, no, not that one.
Speaker 1: Also just started watchingly and listening to the podcast and
Speaker 1: am in love. Thank you? Really newbie love that. Do
Speaker 1: you prefer Fabory or Quintana Fabry or who Quintana? Quintana
Speaker 1: favor Quintana? Wow?
Speaker 2: Yeah Quintana. Yeah, I mean it all works. I know
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at either, to be honest.
Speaker 1: How fun was it in the STD costume Kevin and
Speaker 1: how did you have to wear it for? Listen, that
Speaker 1: shit sucked.
Speaker 2: I as someone who's like definitely up for whatever, yeah
Speaker 2: of it. When I first started, like absolutely, yes, get
Speaker 2: me in this thing. Also like what show are we on?
Speaker 1: What is this? Right?
Speaker 2: But it was all for it. However, it was not
Speaker 2: comfortable in the places I had to wear it were
Speaker 2: not comfortable and wearing it at six in the morning
Speaker 2: in New York City outside it was freezing and I
Speaker 2: had to match a scene we had already filmed, so
Speaker 2: I couldn't change my outfit and I was shivering on
Speaker 2: the side of the road just not feeling it. No,
Speaker 2: and there's people walking by, and like, I don't care
Speaker 2: if people think of me, Like whatever, I'm getting paid
Speaker 2: to be here.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't care how crazy I look. But at the
Speaker 2: same time, I'm like look away, like I was. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was having a time, but at this yeah, at
Speaker 2: the same time hilarious and absolutely insane. Like the more
Speaker 2: insane the more I'm down. Yeah, No, you definitely were
Speaker 2: one of those. I was like, absolutely not. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: have even put it on, you know, but you are
Speaker 2: You're a trooper. I was just like this whatever. I
Speaker 2: was also filming that movie at the same time, so
