Speaker 1: And That's what You Really missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin An iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome to and That's what You Really miss podcast.
Speaker 2: Hello Dun Dun Dune and we've made it.
Speaker 1: Jenna, Oh my god, we're here.
Speaker 2: Can you believe it?
Speaker 3: I actually can't. It's flown by.
Speaker 2: I just feel like like pumping the brakes.
Speaker 1: I am excited for four them. I'm not gonna lie,
Speaker 1: but this is crazy.
Speaker 3: We're three or three? That's crazy.
Speaker 1: We are sprinting through this show. It feels like are
Speaker 1: we Yeah? It certainly feels that way.
Speaker 2: And also because the last few episodes have just been
Speaker 2: so like full of anticipation. Yes, so I've just wanted
Speaker 2: to keep going. Say, it's just been speeding up. Same, Well,
Speaker 2: we're sting. I met myself to an episode a week.
Speaker 1: But I get like I do like one and a half.
Speaker 4: I do one and then half of the second the
Speaker 4: next one, same exacts.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, here we are is the season three episode
Speaker 1: twenty two, and this is goodbye. And this is crazy
Speaker 1: because it feels like a series finale. It feels like
Speaker 1: a very real goodbye. It did feel that way as
Speaker 1: well when we shot it, did it? Oh yeah, in
Speaker 1: very particular, I'm okay. It made me feel like the
Speaker 1: end of the series, like how I felt then. That's
Speaker 1: what I kept thinking of, and that's what it felt
Speaker 1: like while we were shooting in as well. To me,
Speaker 1: We'll get there.
Speaker 2: So this is season three, episode twenty two Goodbye, the
Speaker 2: season three finale. It aired on May twenty second, twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of twos. The number one movie in
Speaker 2: the country was Avengers per huge. Somebody used to know
Speaker 2: it was still the number one song per huge, but Jenna,
Speaker 2: there was some great Glee news this week.
Speaker 1: There was. It was very exciting. On May fourteenth, it
Speaker 1: was announced that Kate Hudson and Sarah Jisca Parker would
Speaker 1: be joining Are You Kidding for season four, both multi
Speaker 1: episode arcs, and also they announced that our show would
Speaker 1: be moving to Thursday nights and the new season would
Speaker 1: be a show within a show since key characters were graduating.
Speaker 1: Now Kevin is the numbers guy. What did you feel
Speaker 1: or do you remember what you thought when we moved
Speaker 1: to Thursday nights?
Speaker 2: Was that a good thing or a bad thing? Moving
Speaker 2: dates is always tricky? Yeah, And I remember being like,
Speaker 2: because our numbers started to go down. So it's sort
Speaker 2: of like a how can we get this re energized?
Speaker 2: And so they moved you to a Thursday. I don't
Speaker 2: remember what we were paired with, but they usually it's
Speaker 2: like because we were following American Idol for a while
Speaker 2: and then we didn't need a lead in because we
Speaker 2: were a big show, and then we became the leading
Speaker 2: they moved us an hour earlier X Factor, Yes happened,
Speaker 2: and the X Factor didn't do well. It did not,
Speaker 2: but it was a lot of me every Thursday night
Speaker 2: because I was doing these Pepsi commercials. That's had every
Speaker 2: like ad break for X Factor, and then it was Glee,
Speaker 2: so we.
Speaker 1: Love that for you. Yeah, I love you doing Pepsi commercials.
Speaker 1: It's like Britney Spears is doing her Honestly, it was
Speaker 1: the biggest dream come true when because also like why
Speaker 1: would they pick me out of all the Glee cats?
Speaker 1: Like someone they approached me? They did?
Speaker 2: Could you could have literally I'm number eight on the
Speaker 2: call sheet. You had one through seven to go through.
Speaker 2: It was very strange and because yes, growing up like
Speaker 2: the pop stars did the Pepsi commercials huge, huge, huge.
Speaker 2: It was bad though, just a quick little story about
Speaker 2: this because it was like one of the biggest dreams
Speaker 2: come true. So I did the first commercial in New York.
Speaker 2: It was fine, great, whatever, then like we want to
Speaker 2: do more. It's like yes, And so I shot until
Speaker 2: I don't know, nine or ten at night on a Friday,
Speaker 2: got on a red eye, flew to New York. They
Speaker 2: had never they never sent me the script for the
Speaker 2: new and you know, when you do these types of things,
Speaker 2: it's a lot of jargon, like talking about contests, talking
Speaker 2: about like whatever it may be.
Speaker 3: This was like walking backstage and stuff. Right, yes, that's right.
Speaker 2: And so I was. I landed at like JFK wherever
Speaker 2: I opened my phone, I have an email of and
Speaker 2: I'm going straight from the airport to set God Kevin Jenna.
Speaker 2: It was so much dialogue and I was by that
Speaker 2: point we were like pretty quick at memorizing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And because it was not a character, so there's no
Speaker 2: story to it, which helps you memorize. It's just words
Speaker 2: and nothing was staking and you know how, I am
Speaker 2: on no sleep, I am not well, and so I was.
Speaker 2: It's one of the most unprofessional experiences of my life
Speaker 2: on my part because I could not deliver. I understand
Speaker 2: that feeling. Oh my guys, I'm going to need some
Speaker 2: cheat sheets, so can we. So then we just had
Speaker 2: to print them out and like put them on this
Speaker 2: little thing in front of me, and I was just reading,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, like glazed over. Just hey, we used
Speaker 2: them to be and pepsi commercials. Truly, that's the worst though,
Speaker 2: I guess. I just I was like, you know, to
Speaker 2: do those things, you have to go through all these
Speaker 2: corporate like people to sign off on it, and there
Speaker 2: you are, finally doing it, and you can't say your words.
Speaker 1: Get it together? Well, getting them that morning also adds
Speaker 1: stress and adrenaline, and it's never a good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because so like they pay you a good amount
Speaker 2: of money for those things, and totally that makes you
Speaker 2: just like, oh, that's stupid, Okay, I have to make
Speaker 2: sure I really show up and do it.
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 1: There's one of those that happens on Glee with like
Speaker 1: some lines that I have. It's like a big monologue
Speaker 1: and I couldn't get through it and I was sweating
Speaker 1: and people had to like read it to me, which
Speaker 1: started making it even worse. We'll get there at some point,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's coming anyway. This was directed by the
Speaker 1: one and only Brad foul Chuck and in some of
Speaker 1: these bat behind the scenes videos he looks so funny,
Speaker 1: like so young. He's got scruff and really long hair,
Speaker 1: and I was like, is that Brad? Yeah, after writing
Speaker 1: twenty two episodes, that's what you look like. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: exactly two exceptional. This was also directed by Brad and
Speaker 1: written by Bradfeulchuk. On the page, we have the wonderful
Speaker 1: glorias to have fun and these songs are great.
Speaker 2: They're great, and they're so many good songs.
Speaker 1: It's great. There's some grains on that. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: are forever young. I'll remember, I remember. Oh you get
Speaker 1: what you give. Everyone gets an every time in my
Speaker 1: life Glory Days. We got a Bruce Springsteen one in there.
Speaker 2: Finally for Brad, he had a direct one.
Speaker 1: We're using Roots before Branches and sit Down. Rocking the
Speaker 1: Boat was also featured, which we did again did you
Speaker 1: see my Life?
Speaker 2: Sure sounded like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounded like we're saying about live.
Speaker 3: Can't find it this feeling.
Speaker 1: Arispeed Bagman was also a flashback and single Ladies.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of music. Something we've learned because I
Speaker 2: might have. You and I had a strong visceral reaction
Speaker 2: to when Jake Shane was on talking about Roots before Branches.
Speaker 1: Right, and we were like, is this a reun joy
Speaker 1: run Kevin, Yeah, where fans have really let their voices
Speaker 1: be heard on this one and Roots before Branches.
Speaker 2: Is like a beloved song by the fans.
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, I understand it's a Rachel Berry song. It's
Speaker 1: beautifully sung. It's a pretty song. I think attaching yourself
Speaker 1: to the actual moment in which it was shot and
Speaker 1: how it was written also lends to the the love
Speaker 1: for it because it's Rachel's. It's Rachel's moment. She's saying goodbye.
Speaker 1: It was a wildly dramatic, beautiful scene between her and Finn,
Speaker 1: and then we get to New York and she's walking
Speaker 1: through the New York City streets looking like Mary Tyler Moore,
Speaker 1: I meets Barbara streisand so like, I get it, I
Speaker 1: get it, I get it.
Speaker 2: I was confused because I did not remember the specifics
Speaker 2: of it, and watching it was like.
Speaker 1: All I remember was that stupid train station that was
Speaker 1: our last day off for this episode.
Speaker 2: We were so like when we're waving by. We're all
Speaker 2: saying things to each other, like bye, are we done yet?
Speaker 1: We had a lot of waiting around that day. There's
Speaker 1: not a lot to be done. We were blocked out.
Speaker 1: I also somebody stole some costumes from the previous episode,
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, I really love this coat,
Speaker 1: so I took the coat.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: It's a blue coat. It's really cute.
Speaker 3: You still have it.
Speaker 1: No, I don't still have it. It's got stained coffee
Speaker 1: stains on it. But I did take the coat. I
Speaker 1: did it, and I think I had the approval. I
Speaker 1: didn't do what that person did. But anyway, that's all
Speaker 1: I remember from that train station and the photo we
Speaker 1: have of us holding up three the three fingers for
Speaker 1: the season three. Okay, we'll get to it for branches.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of good stuff about this episode.
Speaker 2: Here we go. So this episode in the US aired
Speaker 2: an hour later than usual because of the American Idol finale,
Speaker 2: so strong lead in there.
Speaker 1: Gloria Stephan makes a special guest appearance as Marie Bell
Speaker 1: Lopez and Santana's mom, and she talks and talks to
Speaker 1: play her mom. As early as November of two thousand
Speaker 1: and eleven after I Kissed a Girl aired, Gloria tweeted,
Speaker 1: did anyone seekle last night? Santana could really use a
Speaker 1: sympathetic mommy right about now, don't you think? She literally
Speaker 1: put herself in and said, cast me royalty.
Speaker 2: She is royalty? I mean yes, how crazy? And she
Speaker 2: comes back later on. Obviously, Ryan noted this episode initially
Speaker 2: ran fifteen minutes too long. Because of this, there are
Speaker 2: quite a few deleted scenes that didn't make the.
Speaker 1: Cut, including one of Fouteina and Mike Tana. Mike did
Speaker 1: a scene where his dad I'd apologize this and tells
Speaker 1: him he's really proud of him and that they're in
Speaker 1: full support, and it was a really sweet scene. I
Speaker 1: totally get it. Not really needed, like fifteen minutes long,
Speaker 1: we're getting cut, We're getting got cut.
Speaker 3: But that's sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sweet. A scene between Puck and Quinn studying the
Speaker 1: library was also cut. In addition, there was also a
Speaker 1: scene where was reading a message Rachel wrote new yearbook
Speaker 1: that was cut, and then also the Mic and Tina
Speaker 1: scene where's parents give him that the graduation present.
Speaker 2: However, consolation Prize, the curtain Rachel scene, and the Mica
Speaker 2: Tina scenes were uploaded to YouTube, so.
Speaker 1: We're obviously good enough to make it to YouTube.
Speaker 2: That's right, you made it. This is the first finale
Speaker 2: not to contain new directions competing in a show choir competition.
Speaker 2: It could have ended last episode. That's the truth the season.
Speaker 2: But as a viewer, I know I keep bringing up
Speaker 2: Game of Thrones, but it was the only show that
Speaker 2: I felt like gave me two finales because something crazy
Speaker 2: penultimate episode and then so much more happened in the
Speaker 2: next episode in a different way. And that's how this
Speaker 2: felt to me, the.
Speaker 3: Episode or the Yes, I totally agree with you.
Speaker 1: I totally agree. Kurt's graduation gown is accessorized with an
Speaker 1: insect broach, which of course is probably from Lou's brilliant
Speaker 1: mind that he wore on his sweater the one that
Speaker 1: he wore during Defying Gravity in season one.
Speaker 2: That I love that one too, Yeah, that was so sweet.
Speaker 2: Rachel's pink suitcases identical to the one and showmance where
Speaker 2: Fenn helps her carry the case.
Speaker 1: I love that realistically, like, who's getting new suitcases that age?
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that this is the last episode which
Speaker 1: worry appears physically. That is so weird. You're saying good
Speaker 1: bye to.
Speaker 3: A lot of people that I don't actually remember.
Speaker 1: Saying goodbye to.
Speaker 2: That is very strange.
Speaker 1: Like we had a whole life after this Kevin on
Speaker 1: the show, and other people had other lives.
Speaker 3: Isn't that weird?
Speaker 2: It really boggles my mind because it doesn't feel like that.
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
Speaker 2: It's very strange because that is the reality of it.
Speaker 2: That is the fact of it, that this is it
Speaker 2: for some of these people, but.
Speaker 1: We see them all so much.
Speaker 2: Yes, Like I don't understand how that was true possible
Speaker 2: because you also, we've built these bonds so quickly with
Speaker 2: people right and right, Like Damien feels like he was
Speaker 2: in the entire show exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is a nons like he just started right.
Speaker 3: That is very weird, Okay, very weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does appear, reappear and already stream in season four.
Speaker 2: That's right, already bring him back, bring him back.
Speaker 1: Of course, it would be Kevin to bring all his
Speaker 1: friends back. This is the last episode to credit Diana
Speaker 1: and jama A series regulars.
Speaker 2: What did we not know what was going on on
Speaker 2: the show we were in.
Speaker 1: I don't think we knew because I don't think a
Speaker 1: lot of people knew, to be honest, that's.
Speaker 2: Probably sure the summer. There were negotiations going on over
Speaker 2: the summer. I am sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well we knew Diana was kind of on our
Speaker 1: way out and jam abough that's a surprise to me.
Speaker 1: They become guest stars for the future, which is so weird,
Speaker 1: and Cord on the opposite end, Actually, this is the
Speaker 1: last episode that he is a guest star and he
Speaker 1: becomes a series regular, which makes that makes sense to me.
Speaker 2: Yes, the Priority number one helped the kids fire from
Speaker 2: the pilot reappears in Will's office and there's.
Speaker 1: A lot of sentimental moments in this episode. This is
Speaker 1: the second time where Finn breaks up with his girlfriend
Speaker 1: in the car. The first time was in Tierro when
Speaker 1: he broke up with Quinn. It felt familiar, it did.
Speaker 1: I like that he's got a he's got a way
Speaker 1: of doing things. The first season finale, where the final
Speaker 1: scene is not in the choir room, Santana's mom mentions
Speaker 1: that she used to dress up his uncle Jesse from
Speaker 1: Full House on Halloween. Uncle Jesse was obviously played by
Speaker 1: the beloved John Stamos, who also played Carl on our
Speaker 1: show another.
Speaker 2: John Stamos is just very popular in this writer's room.
Speaker 4: He's popular in real life. Yeah, everybody loves Everybody loves
Speaker 4: John Stamos. When Rachel arrives in New York, she is
Speaker 4: shown leaving Grand Central Station, which is used for commuter trains,
Speaker 4: Amtrak trains, or Rachel would have been taken to from
Speaker 4: Lima is the tent station.
Speaker 1: He love that because I know that, and I also
Speaker 1: was like, why is she taking a train? And in
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes Brad says the train was more romantic,
Speaker 1: especially with Finn running after a train and not running
Speaker 1: after an airplane, so like, yeah, it was very good,
Speaker 1: but I would I was like, she's really going to
Speaker 1: take a train from Ohio New York.
Speaker 2: It is much more romantic and cinematic. Totally makes sense. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In the scene where Finn and his mother are discussing
Speaker 1: Finn's father's service in the army, Sinn is holding a
Speaker 1: picture of his father, whose uniform has a US Marines
Speaker 1: tabs across the pocket, and the Marine Corps startdant pin
Speaker 1: beneath the ship.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, I love that. That's really good.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the official summary this one actually makes sense.
Speaker 2: This time. Oh good, graduation is finally here in McKinley
Speaker 2: High's class of twenty twelve looks to the past and
Speaker 2: present while contemplating the future.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into it, Jenna, all.
Speaker 3: Right, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: So over. The whole thing is about saying goodbye, right,
Speaker 1: the seniors saying goodbye. They're passing on the torch to
Speaker 1: the juniors. It's all really beautiful. But we're learning throughout
Speaker 1: this whole episode where people are headed right, So it's
Speaker 1: time to say goodbye, and mister Shue has one last
Speaker 1: assignment for everybody for the national winning glee Club, if
Speaker 1: you will, that's right, it already tells us. So he
Speaker 1: kicks it off with a song where he sings to us.
Speaker 2: He sings at the most emotional moments he does. He
Speaker 2: pulls out that guitar. Are ke any plays? I think
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the overall feeling of this episode. Okay, great,
Speaker 2: let's do it. Because the thing that I was just
Speaker 2: really taken it back by was how consistent and thorough
Speaker 2: the feelings were of leaving something behind it like really
Speaker 2: encapsulated that for me in every scene, every scene and
Speaker 2: everyone obviously is dealing with different things, but that through
Speaker 2: line of like growing up in the sadness of like
Speaker 2: moving on from this time that you love. You think
Speaker 2: this is the peak of your life thus far. You
Speaker 2: don't know what's ahead of you. And so it's this
Speaker 2: really emotional thing because yes, this is the this is
Speaker 2: the last time they're all together. They're all going to
Speaker 2: be in class together. This is also on the podcast,
Speaker 2: the last time we're all going to talk about the
Speaker 2: glee club in this form. Weird, It's very strange, and
Speaker 2: I think just like in real life, you know, some
Speaker 2: of these moments are marked by the characters like Sue,
Speaker 2: Selvester and Quinn. Like those moments where the characters that
Speaker 2: you've seen grow the most, it really hits you. And
Speaker 2: I feel like it was written in such a beautiful.
Speaker 1: Way because it's directed with like the heart that rad
Speaker 1: cast and.
Speaker 2: It made us, you know, we were just talking about
Speaker 2: it made us think of those times which then the
Speaker 2: show is doing its job.
Speaker 3: It was a really effective episode. You're totally right.
Speaker 2: I just watched the Young Royals series finale on Netflix
Speaker 2: and then they have a documentary and it was very
Speaker 2: emotional because obviously, like we've been through a similar thing
Speaker 2: and it's a very specific experience, and it was the
Speaker 2: same thing. I watched these back to back and I
Speaker 2: was like, this is too much all at once. I
Speaker 2: don't know what I was thinking, but it's really and
Speaker 2: being able to compare those where that's a high school
Speaker 2: show saying goodbye in the finale and this was too
Speaker 2: like we did a good job.
Speaker 1: We did, they did, and it was it was just
Speaker 1: really it was also sentimental and nostalgic, like they did
Speaker 1: a lot of that flashback. They did a lot of
Speaker 1: really good things with the relationships, like you said, like
Speaker 1: Sue and Quinn and Finn and Rachel, that brought us
Speaker 1: back to the early days of Glee when you just
Speaker 1: started to fall in love with these people. Yeah, Brad
Speaker 1: did an excellent job at executing that. And then also,
Speaker 1: I think is what made Glee so special in work.
Speaker 1: There was a part of it that was the chemistry
Speaker 1: of the cast, right, the chemistry of this group that
Speaker 1: was learning about each other as we were starting out
Speaker 1: and all becoming you know, this was becoming huge, and
Speaker 1: then we have to say goodbye to that that thing
Speaker 1: we knew and the thing I remember the most was
Speaker 1: the feeling that we had when we were shooting. It
Speaker 1: was very similar to the feeling that you got when
Speaker 1: we watched it this time around, because the we really
Speaker 1: didn't know what was coming. All we knew was the
Speaker 1: end of something, and it was hard to say and
Speaker 1: like I was nervous having like hearing there were new
Speaker 1: they were casting new kids.
Speaker 3: Like that was so scary for me.
Speaker 1: Because you create this bond with all these people and
Speaker 1: then you're like severing ties on screen at least, and I.
Speaker 3: Remember, you get what you give.
Speaker 1: Not wanting to weep, but weeping like Lea was weeping,
Speaker 1: Vanessa was weeping. We were all crying really hard, and
Speaker 1: Zach and Brooke were there and they're like, this is
Speaker 1: the last time you were ever gonna perform together. And
Speaker 1: then they left the room and we started shooting that
Speaker 1: that's right, and you're like, literally, my jaw was on
Speaker 1: the ground. I'm a crier already, So this like wasn't
Speaker 1: good for me. It was beautiful. It was like a
Speaker 1: real celebration of the thing that we created together. And
Speaker 1: throughout the whole episode you could se see like wet
Speaker 1: eyes everywhere.
Speaker 3: You could tell in Leah's face, like everywhere.
Speaker 2: That was that when she's watching in my Yes, in
Speaker 2: my life, Yes, like, oh that's real, Leah crying, that's totally.
Speaker 1: Even Diana crying a bunch Like it was. It was
Speaker 1: a really emotional time for us, Like it did feel
Speaker 1: like a series finale in some way.
Speaker 2: And the show meant that much to us, and our
Speaker 2: bond and what we had been a part of to
Speaker 2: create after that point meant that much to us, Like
Speaker 2: we loved doing this. It's it, And I think that's
Speaker 2: part of like what this journey on the podcast is
Speaker 2: is where I feel like that story has been forgotten
Speaker 2: even by some of our own where like watching this episode,
Speaker 2: it's like we like those are real tears. We were
Speaker 2: so upset and also so proud, and it felt very
Speaker 2: reminiscent of graduating school at some point, whether it's high
Speaker 2: school or college, where half of you doesn't want to
Speaker 2: let it go. It's like, oh, these are my people,
Speaker 2: this is my family, This is where I feel comfortable
Speaker 2: and seeing they get me and look at all we've
Speaker 2: accomplished together. But then the other half of you is like,
Speaker 2: I can't wait to get out of here because I'm
Speaker 2: so excited for what's next, and not in a you know,
Speaker 2: a bad way, but I'm just so excited and you
Speaker 2: feel that in this and I think looking at everyone's
Speaker 2: faces and different scenes, it's one of two emotions people
Speaker 2: are feeling.
Speaker 1: It was really bittersweet for us, but because also like
Speaker 1: the hit, the wheels had already come off by this point,
Speaker 1: people had lost their minds, people made their way back,
Speaker 1: and then to know that this was ending, you're like,
Speaker 1: it's almost like in high school, and you're like, what
Speaker 1: would I have done differently?
Speaker 3: Is there anything I would have done?
Speaker 1: Because it's the first real time, I think is in
Speaker 1: it you're emerging adulthood where you're leaving something really profound
Speaker 1: behind and you're entering like a real new chapter. This
Speaker 1: isn't like, oh, like you're entering adulthood in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways. And so for me, it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: what would I have done different? Would I appreciated this more?
Speaker 1: Would I have taken more time with these people? Like
Speaker 1: all of it?
Speaker 3: It just you could feel.
Speaker 1: Those feelings, especially after the wheels had come off, and
Speaker 1: then they're like, oh, I'm going to miss this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's hard to balance too, because this is
Speaker 2: after nine full months of shooting, and so we're aired
Speaker 2: really tired.
Speaker 1: After coming off a tour and coming off for season
Speaker 1: and coming up, we're exhausted. We're really tired.
Speaker 2: I've really done this marathon since the pilot aired, Yes,
Speaker 2: and this was our first hiatus, proper hiatus. And then
Speaker 2: things are not going to be the same when we
Speaker 2: come back, and we don't know what that's going to
Speaker 2: look like. Correct, And so even for us, we knew
Speaker 2: we'd still be in the choir room, but what does
Speaker 2: that feel like because half of our best friends aren't
Speaker 2: going to be there? And what does that mean for story?
Speaker 2: And what does that mean for Are people still going
Speaker 2: to like this show?
Speaker 3: New Blood?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Whoo, it's this one? This one really I didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't think I remembered how much was how much
Speaker 1: emotion was in this episode. I was like, oh Nationals,
Speaker 1: we won. This is saying goodbye Lee. It like Rachel
Speaker 1: getting on the train like that's it, And I was.
Speaker 2: Like, oh shit, very much the same.
Speaker 1: The ones I remember the most were you Get what
Speaker 1: You Give and Ruth before Branshaws.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same, I remember in my life, like I think
Speaker 2: we did those the same day. We were just right right,
Speaker 2: But I also in the beginning of this episode, because
Speaker 2: there's it makes so much sense knowing that this episode
Speaker 2: is fifteen minutes too long, because we get the start
Speaker 2: of it is a little rough, like chop chop, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden we're in a lesson and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden people are singing. It was very quick, totally,
Speaker 2: but I know, Corey like just coming with all the
Speaker 2: energy like this.
Speaker 4: Is yer Glee Club.
Speaker 2: I see that.
Speaker 1: Whole thing and just now, do you remember them surprising
Speaker 1: us in some way, like pulling us down and us
Speaker 1: not remember like there was something about it being a
Speaker 1: little unrehearsed, and I can't remember what it was, but
Speaker 1: it might have been them bringing us in the circle,
Speaker 1: like I don't remember. Maybe it was just Zack and
Speaker 1: Brook saying the thing that they said, but I remember
Speaker 1: feeling like surprised by that performance.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't I don't remember, but I
Speaker 2: feel like I remember Zach and Brook saying that and
Speaker 2: then leaving and then.
Speaker 1: Vanessa just crying, yes, cry, like really hard crying.
Speaker 2: So I think the best to go through a lot
Speaker 2: of this episode is to just go through are people
Speaker 2: who are graduating?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wants to give him a nod and a
Speaker 1: yeah in a wave. Okay, bye bye. So Mike, Tina's
Speaker 1: sweet boyfriend of many years, is going away.
Speaker 3: He's graduating.
Speaker 1: He receives a scholarship to Jeffrey Ballet in Chicago. I
Speaker 1: think he was supposed to go to Alvan Aley School
Speaker 1: and he he gets accepted to a ballet company which
Speaker 1: is very prestigious. Also to note when they shot these scenes,
Speaker 1: when Santana is getting the being told where everybody's going
Speaker 1: to perform, and Mercedes getting which we'll get to getting
Speaker 1: the recording contract in Santana's going like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what am I? What am I doing? I shouldn't be
Speaker 1: going to Kentucky. I get what Brad was trying to
Speaker 1: do with like looking down the barrel. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like you're looking into Santana's eyes, but it is so
Speaker 1: out of the Glee style. It feels like something Brad
Speaker 1: Beeker would do, but like it just didn't. It didn't
Speaker 1: quite have the effect that I would hope because it
Speaker 1: was a little out of left field for me. I
Speaker 1: was like, what are they doing? Why are they looking
Speaker 1: at me? But anyway, it Mike gets to go to
Speaker 1: Jeoffrey Ballet. And then also this sweet scene that got
Speaker 1: caught on YouTube where his dad is giving him his
Speaker 1: graduation present and they're supporting their you know, children and
Speaker 1: the arts, and it's just and his dad actually looking
Speaker 1: him in the eyes and telling him he's proud of him.
Speaker 1: Jane's like, my work here is done. Now go a bitch,
Speaker 1: it's my turn. Free, b free. Uh So that's Mike.
Speaker 1: That's where Mike is is headed.
Speaker 2: I loved this little segment though, of Santana learning what
Speaker 2: everybody's doing, because it was also obviously a great way
Speaker 2: for us to find out what everybody's doing.
Speaker 3: Great, So happy for you, very funny, very funny.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Mercedes gets a recording. This doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: And Jenna, one day we are going to make a
Speaker 2: musical and we're going to represent the musical industry properly,
Speaker 2: because I have yet to see a musical movie or
Speaker 2: TV show that talks about the music business correct the
Speaker 2: way it actually works. Yes, right, But anyway, Mercedes got
Speaker 2: a recording contract as a backup singer on an indie
Speaker 2: label and we'll be taking classes at the UCLA Extension.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, unless she's still taking classes. She don't need them,
Speaker 1: but she unless she's well rounded. And then you know,
Speaker 1: heading to Santana, which this is all through the eyes
Speaker 1: of her learning about all these people, which is then
Speaker 1: informing us. She realizes that Brittany got her into Louisville,
Speaker 1: but she would rather move to New York. She's a star.
Speaker 1: She doesn't know why she's going to Kentucky. And then
Speaker 1: we get to go meet Laios Staffa, the woman, the legend, herself,
Speaker 1: the icon, and her mom. Her mom is against it
Speaker 1: at first, saying like, you can do all that, you
Speaker 1: just got to go get your collar's degree first, right,
Speaker 1: which is what her lost parents are saying, exactly.
Speaker 2: I do the thing I didn't have the opportunity to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which, look, I have to say as a parent
Speaker 1: and as an actor myself, i'd say the same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost impossible not to feel that way.
Speaker 1: And I can't tell her what to do at that point,
Speaker 1: Like she's going to follow her intuition and she's going
Speaker 1: to do what she's going to do, and she's going
Speaker 1: to live her life. But like, listen to your mother's.
Speaker 2: I mean that it sucks. As you get older, you
Speaker 2: realize where your parents are coming those conversations. Unfortunately, Yes,
Speaker 2: how do you reconcile that though, because because like, yes,
Speaker 2: that makes sense as the parent who's in their thirties, forties,
Speaker 2: fifties and has have and has lived a life, seen it,
Speaker 2: Who've seen it? But then.
Speaker 3: You're putting all your shit onto the kid. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: you can't. You can't tell a kid not to follow
Speaker 3: their heart and then tell them what to do. You
Speaker 3: have to Your job as.
Speaker 1: A parent is to guide and advise and set them
Speaker 1: up for the best they're set them up for success
Speaker 1: as best as possible, and then you have to relinquish control.
Speaker 3: That's the truth. So I get it. I see what
Speaker 3: you're saying.
Speaker 1: There is a there's a fine mind.
Speaker 2: It's very hard though, as a parent to relinquish control
Speaker 2: because you because you have lived though, you do have
Speaker 2: some sense you know what's ahead in life. But also
Speaker 2: you are speaking from a much more pragmatic and sometimes
Speaker 2: more limited point of view because you know life's challenges
Speaker 2: posed to the young person who doesn't have Yes, it's like,
Speaker 2: why stunt that because you don't know? I appreciate that exactly.
Speaker 2: It really is a fine line.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do in that case,
Speaker 1: I don't know how hard I would push. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: could only share my experience of what I've seen and
Speaker 1: where I was and then say like, do the best
Speaker 1: with your information that you were given.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. That's all you can do.
Speaker 2: So I think that scene was also very effective because
Speaker 2: she goes from you know, talking about like Santana's a boy.
Speaker 2: She's like, well, you don't want someone in your life
Speaker 2: who doesn't support who doesn't support you, and then immediately goes, no,
Speaker 2: you have to go to call It's.
Speaker 1: True, so true. She does this eventually come around. It's
Speaker 1: a really nice scene that they have at the lockers
Speaker 1: where she says she gives her her graduation gift of
Speaker 1: the money she saved over you know, many years for college,
Speaker 1: which is really sweet, and she sees for she says,
Speaker 1: she gives her blessing to use it for to go
Speaker 1: to New York and call her dreams.
Speaker 2: She pays this whole time.
Speaker 3: Right, They are really good together. They're really good together.
Speaker 1: They're both very also very good on their own, and
Speaker 1: so it's like they just like make each other better.
Speaker 2: It's brilliant. And so the other thing we learned during
Speaker 2: that meal is that Brittany will not be graduating because
Speaker 2: she has failed every class because she didn't attend them
Speaker 2: and has a zero point zero GPA. Now, if this
Speaker 2: were true, she would not be allowed in glee club.
Speaker 2: She would not be on the cheerios like she'd be
Speaker 2: on academic probation. Right, I don't know if there's that, Well,
Speaker 2: I guess you're right. I went to look, I went
Speaker 2: to that. Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right, or
Speaker 2: some kind of extra school punishment.
Speaker 1: It is glee. I don't think Heather knew though that
Speaker 1: this was happening until she read the script.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds right.
Speaker 1: I remember her thinking she was graduating and then realized
Speaker 1: that she was staying back. For me selfishly, I'm glad
Speaker 1: that she stayed back.
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, we were trying to hold on.
Speaker 1: You got Dren, you had Cord, and now we got Heather.
Speaker 1: We're like, thank god, let's keep keep them coming. We
Speaker 1: have Vanessa, crucial for Heather to be there. So Brittany's
Speaker 1: not graduating, she's staying back. Okay, So Quinn is off
Speaker 1: to yell and she's reflecting on all of her Oh
Speaker 1: the gifts high school is given to her, so she
Speaker 1: you know, wants to pay it forward and give it back.
Speaker 1: This metro North she and from New York is very
Speaker 1: funny to me. I don't know, so that they can
Speaker 1: visit each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: If this was just like.
Speaker 1: The writers being like, don't worry, we're still going to
Speaker 1: see Quinn.
Speaker 2: I think I remember that.
Speaker 3: We're their way of.
Speaker 1: Being like in case I has to come back, and
Speaker 1: we're just planning the.
Speaker 2: Seed because travel has always been a huge impediment in
Speaker 2: this show, and so if we can solve the issue
Speaker 2: of travel and affording it, then.
Speaker 1: You're going we can see our characters exactly. And then
Speaker 1: she has that really really nice scene so she gets
Speaker 1: the uniform. She looks great in this scene too. I
Speaker 1: love that dress she's wearing.
Speaker 2: I mean the whole time, like the hair, she's.
Speaker 1: Looking ready for y'all, Ready for y'all.
Speaker 2: I mean, Sue oh John is really just I was
Speaker 2: sitting in awe watching that scene because part of me
Speaker 2: is like, why Sue so nice? Still, like it's been weeks,
Speaker 2: she's so nice. But I also love it. And when
Speaker 2: Jane gets up and like walks around her desk to
Speaker 2: get closer to her to talk to her. She does
Speaker 2: that Sue look where she looks terrifying but still man
Speaker 2: manages to like come off sweet and caring and thoughtful.
Speaker 2: And it was just like a really like beautiful understated performance. Yeah, agreed,
Speaker 2: where a lot of times because especially in this episode
Speaker 2: where there's so much happening, Yeah, where you know, people
Speaker 2: are just good and Jane is just and.
Speaker 1: The two of them like where they started from and
Speaker 1: the arc of where we're taking them now, they're both
Speaker 1: like kind to each other and being nice and paying
Speaker 1: it forward. And like, I think it's the scene we
Speaker 1: had to see to close out Quinn's storyline. You know,
Speaker 1: that's where she started, was the villain, and you know
Speaker 1: she's choice put through the.
Speaker 3: Just put through it.
Speaker 1: At least she really was a steviee showing so I
Speaker 1: thought was an important team to get them together and
Speaker 1: see that.
Speaker 2: The other thing Quinn does she helps Puck study for
Speaker 2: his test because he's scared, and her way to do that,
Speaker 2: to give back is to just give him a little kiss,
Speaker 2: because she gives a little talking to like what are
Speaker 2: you doing? You used to rule the school? You caught
Speaker 2: the football score, the touchdown, of the one game you
Speaker 2: guys won their sophomore year, So that seems to work.
Speaker 2: He graduates or he gets a C minus on the test.
Speaker 2: Everybody waiting outside the door is really sweet. I just
Speaker 2: have to say, it felt like everyone had such a
Speaker 2: nice closing conclusion.
Speaker 1: Totally totally and like he got his mojo back, Like
Speaker 1: that's Puck. That was like, it's very It's just everything
Speaker 1: was like in line with their characters. It was like
Speaker 1: really nice. It was like bringing us back to like
Speaker 1: the pilot almost almost sweet hurt.
Speaker 3: It's really sweet. It's all really sweet.
Speaker 1: So he dedicates his song that he sings to the
Speaker 1: men of the glee club for actions accepting him as
Speaker 1: for who he is and was what is song called
Speaker 1: I'll Remember which love that. Yeah, it's great for him too,
Speaker 1: and I love that. It's just he's just planted there
Speaker 1: and it's just emotion. It's what Chris does best. Put
Speaker 1: him in the middle with the little spotlight one tier.
Speaker 1: He's like good to go, but he is. Blaine is
Speaker 1: a little feeling a little insecure about their relationship.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there has not been enough talk about what
Speaker 2: is going to happen, right, and.
Speaker 3: Blaine's staying here.
Speaker 1: He's here, and he reasures that they're going to stay
Speaker 1: together forever, even when Kurt goes to New York, and
Speaker 1: that is the precursor to the Finn and Rachel of
Speaker 1: it all, which includes Kurt because they decide that they
Speaker 1: are going to wait for their acceptance letters to open
Speaker 1: them all together. Right, Everybody had a really beautiful closing
Speaker 1: of this episode. In this episode and then we get
Speaker 1: to Finn and Rachel.
Speaker 2: I love that. I thought it was really sweet to
Speaker 2: the Glee Club, the kids that are staying did the
Speaker 2: song and dedicated it to Finn, and I paid their
Speaker 2: respects because they are right where it's tales all the time.
Speaker 1: That guy.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't become that guy right normally, like Finn has really
Speaker 2: been for better or for worse, hasn't been perfect, but
Speaker 2: has been the leader, has kept him on track and
Speaker 2: has made all these different misfits get along, manage all
Speaker 2: these personalities and all the personal stuff going on in
Speaker 2: his life at the same time. And so I thought
Speaker 2: that was really really special that they did that.
Speaker 3: Additionally, the scene between mister Shoe and him when he
Speaker 3: admits like how he got him into k club and
Speaker 3: the flashback of him in the shower, always one of
Speaker 3: my favorite scenes, and then Finn's reaction to him saying
Speaker 3: like that makes you even cooler.
Speaker 1: It was like, so great, this is the truly, really
Speaker 1: really funny I loved it.
Speaker 2: Do you think it was because it was the last episode,
Speaker 2: so everyone felt that, But I felt like in these
Speaker 2: scenes everyone was just a little looser, like like the emotions,
Speaker 2: whether it's comedy or drama, was just more on the
Speaker 2: surface in a good way.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. That is an interesting observation and question. There's
Speaker 1: almost like everybody's just leaving it all on the table.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I guess it also feels like we know,
Speaker 2: when you graduate high school, you have done the thing.
Speaker 2: So when you see your teachers and like you're no
Speaker 2: longer my teacher this last night, like I've graduated, I've
Speaker 2: accomplished it. So there's also that feeling like a lot
Speaker 2: of these conversations are like we have now matured, we
Speaker 2: have accomplished that we were here to accomplish, and now
Speaker 2: we're out, and so the really job the dynamics change.
Speaker 1: Right, change right now, You're right, That's why I think
Speaker 1: mister Shud did that. Yeah, it was a good Yeah,
Speaker 1: really good. Then is really feeling confident after his audition
Speaker 1: with James Slipton, which is great, and love that he
Speaker 1: made a cameo, especially after them being on the Actors Studio,
Speaker 1: and he's feeling really good about his mark he's left
Speaker 1: and feeling confident about getting into school.
Speaker 2: I was really hoping we were going to see the monologue.
Speaker 1: That I'm glad we didn't. That isn't Corey is wildly
Speaker 1: capable of it or Finn is. It's just that I
Speaker 1: I'd like to leave it to the note. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was worried. I was like, this is going to be
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable. I think to watch totally. Unfortunately, Finn and
Speaker 1: Kurt both don't get into school.
Speaker 3: Spoiler that Rachel does.
Speaker 2: Let me talk about their reactions here. Yes, yes, in
Speaker 2: an episode that is moving at lightning speed, everything just
Speaker 2: comes to his halt and Finn and Kurt not immediately
Speaker 2: faking their happiness for her phenomenal.
Speaker 3: Truly, but I think that was Brad.
Speaker 1: I think the truth is the stakes are so high
Speaker 1: for them that like, this isn't a moment where you
Speaker 1: pretend to be happy for Rachel. And also because Rachel's like,
Speaker 1: what do I do now both of my people are
Speaker 1: not going what happens like and why she decides that
Speaker 1: she's going to defer. I loved it. I love the
Speaker 1: honesty of the scene. I loved it.
Speaker 3: I thought it was great. And it was also like.
Speaker 1: That pausing moment where you're like, let's all take a wreath.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of I think it's also so effective
Speaker 2: in this type of show where everything is so over
Speaker 2: the top a lot of the time, that when we
Speaker 2: do throw in those sort of grounding moments, they're even
Speaker 2: more effective because of what it's against the rest of
Speaker 2: the episode.
Speaker 1: Rachel thinks that they're about to go get married. They're
Speaker 1: picking out wedding chairs, which, by the way, I don't
Speaker 1: know why they have wedding chairs in the school. It's
Speaker 1: probably a budget thing. They decided they could do this
Speaker 1: and not have to have another location to build. Wedding
Speaker 1: chairs are important, I will say. But Rachel thinks the
Speaker 1: Finn's taking her to go get married, and they're in
Speaker 1: the car and she says, okay, you my wedding dress.
Speaker 1: You've got everything I need takes to the train station.
Speaker 1: This scene. I don't know if it's because of the
Speaker 1: out the devastating outcome of which we will.
Speaker 3: Well we know now in hindsight is happening.
Speaker 1: But this, this scene was especially devastating for me to
Speaker 1: watch this time number one, because Corey's so damn good
Speaker 1: and so is Leah. But Corey like, oh god, it's
Speaker 1: so good, it's so good. But then just knowing like
Speaker 1: the future, it made it like tragic, so tragic for
Speaker 1: me to watch. I felt like we were actually saying goodbye,
Speaker 1: and I was.
Speaker 3: I was really moved by their performances.
Speaker 1: I was really moved by how they wrote Finn and
Speaker 1: like the I think I was like in that moment
Speaker 1: watching it warning the sadness of like not being able
Speaker 1: to see Corey do more work like that. Mm hmm
Speaker 1: if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like a work. Yeah, those that scene
Speaker 2: in the car, it goes from your typical like are
Speaker 2: you breaking up with me right now? Like sort of
Speaker 2: you know we've seen that moment and movies before, and
Speaker 2: then it swaps when she starts crying and is like
Speaker 2: I can't believe this is happening right now. And there's
Speaker 2: like a certain way that Leah cries that devastating yeah,
Speaker 2: and then to wait, you're joining the military. Are you crazy? Yes?
Speaker 2: And it is just like what is what is happening?
Speaker 2: He took us on a journey and it was great
Speaker 2: because how many times have you been in conversations like
Speaker 2: when you're young like that with people and you're in
Speaker 2: relationships and you might be breaking up or you don't
Speaker 2: know what's going on, and things just completely spiral because
Speaker 2: everybody's acting from their like irrational point of view and
Speaker 2: there and they're naive, tape off, they're young, they don't
Speaker 2: He's like, of course, that makes so much sense to
Speaker 2: him to go join the army, and that's what he
Speaker 2: has to do. And he's protecting her because he's always
Speaker 2: the leader, he's always the person who is trying to
Speaker 2: protect everyone around him. So in one way, he's two
Speaker 2: words of one stone. If he goes to the arm
Speaker 2: me they can't get married and she has to go.
Speaker 2: And then he's also going to clear his dad's name.
Speaker 1: And I also like to have the wherewithal A though
Speaker 1: in the maturity I guess like it's in the writing though,
Speaker 1: like Finn has to have that maturity like of being
Speaker 1: like are you are you one hundred percent and her
Speaker 1: being like actually not one hundred percent maybe a ninety percent,
Speaker 1: him going I am one hundred percent like and I
Speaker 1: know you're going to be more than you are, so
Speaker 1: like that was like the betrait of him letting her
Speaker 1: go as hard as it is. It broke me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really the writing, the performance. The whole thing
Speaker 1: from both of them was like so excellent, really really
Speaker 1: good m hm, and then into branches into him chasing
Speaker 1: the train, and then into Lea turning round.
Speaker 2: I was not well, was Leah crying three quarters of
Speaker 2: this song? And so emotion? Do you know the technical
Speaker 2: ability but you have to have to be able to
Speaker 2: do that. You're singing at one and a half times
Speaker 2: of speed, so it sounds crazy, but you're still so
Speaker 2: full of emotion that you were bawling. That is insane.
Speaker 3: Shit, it was so good. It was so good.
Speaker 2: That is absolutely wild.
Speaker 1: And there we are acting like hooligans out on the
Speaker 1: side of the road, assholes.
Speaker 3: We were schools, like, we're not performance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember, we were just like rating crafty eating
Speaker 2: everything in sight.
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway, I what a beautifully done finale
Speaker 1: of that, Like that last quarter of the episode. Really,
Speaker 1: it really is really locked in at some point. Yes,
Speaker 1: it totally does. And that's to Brad. We should text
Speaker 1: him and till and it's really good.
Speaker 2: Shout out to my horse jacket that I'm wearing at
Speaker 2: the train station because it's so out of place. It
Speaker 2: was a really great episode. These last few episodes have
Speaker 2: been solid.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 1: Look you guys, you said it. You said season three
Speaker 1: was going to be really great. I believed you to
Speaker 1: an extent. I don't think I could have believed you
Speaker 1: to this extent until I experienced it myself.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you agree with.
Speaker 1: Kevinan, but like I truly am, Like, wow.
Speaker 2: I am too. But mostly it makes me feel worried
Speaker 2: for next season because those same people were like, watch out.
Speaker 1: Well, I believe them. I know when they speak, we listen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's they prove themselves to be trust pretty okay, let's
Speaker 1: crede these performances. Okay, whoever young okay?
Speaker 2: P plus yeah okay, I remember A minus ay minus you.
Speaker 1: Can get what you gave A plus A oh in
Speaker 1: my life minus okay.
Speaker 3: Glory days when you to talk about graduation.
Speaker 1: Really cute, really cute. Also, like no other people graduating,
Speaker 1: just our friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nobody else in the school. That each got
Speaker 2: their own little intro through the curtain, which is really cute.
Speaker 2: It was also just sad, and I was also very
Speaker 2: amazed that they could time out the song for when
Speaker 2: Mark and Corey were walking out to accept their diplomas
Speaker 2: on the correct line. How do you how do you
Speaker 2: plan that out?
Speaker 3: We actually don't know. That's a really good question.
Speaker 1: That's very good.
Speaker 2: That's what I think about what I'm watching.
Speaker 3: Graduation was fun glory days. I give it a A.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was really happy for me.
Speaker 1: I mean the plus Yes, yes he made it. But
Speaker 1: you know, Brad has said, look, Lee is not Bruce Springshane.
Speaker 1: He knew, he knew his audience. He knows like he's like,
Speaker 1: of course I want it, but like you know, there's
Speaker 1: only certain places that fit.
Speaker 2: That fits, So I just I don't, you know, completely
Speaker 2: agree with that, even though he is one of the
Speaker 2: creators of the show, just because we did so much
Speaker 2: like Journey that you wouldn't think kids would be into,
Speaker 2: but they were sure, sure.
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, But Journey has that moving feeling and not
Speaker 1: that Bruce doesn't, but more so it set the tone
Speaker 1: and we did don't stop belaving. That's what I I
Speaker 1: that's why for Journey, I don't know, but you can
Speaker 1: be right too. I agree, like I think we have
Speaker 1: to get people more credit for, you know, appreciating good music.
Speaker 2: I do. Also, though, it's like you want to be
Speaker 2: protective of, like that's Bruce Brings's is number one. It's
Speaker 2: like you need to be protective of that, you know,
Speaker 2: totally bruster for branch Is. I wouldn't have thought this
Speaker 2: before watching it, but I think it's an A plus
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's not what I was expecting from you.
Speaker 1: I am surprised. I surprised myself as well. I am.
Speaker 1: I think I go with an A. I don't know
Speaker 1: a plus, but I it's close.
Speaker 2: Right because I do have I do have a hard
Speaker 2: time when people just start singing.
Speaker 3: Right right out of that scene.
Speaker 2: That scene, Yes, it was a little hard for me. However,
Speaker 2: once you get into it, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Also, she got New York of shooting random locations.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I remember that. She was very excited about it.
Speaker 2: Did they do that after?
Speaker 1: I think they did it around up front, so if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, I don't remember. But maybe she was
Speaker 1: already there for a front I can't remember. Okay, yeah
Speaker 1: it was in May, so friends are in May. Okay.
Speaker 1: I love that she was through New York. I love
Speaker 1: that we got a tour through New York. I'm I'm,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. But like.
Speaker 3: Literally got her going through all.
Speaker 2: Of with the pink suitcase. I go, where are you
Speaker 2: going in the same outfit?
Speaker 1: I was like, this would have taken hours and she's
Speaker 1: look in fresh and fine.
Speaker 3: So I just love are yeah, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 1: Are your feet?
Speaker 3: Do your feed her.
Speaker 2: Tonight? Like? What is the plan.
Speaker 1: Literally on being put physically on the train coming off
Speaker 1: of it?
Speaker 3: Anyway?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's do some tarty takes. Okay, there weren't a
Speaker 1: ton for me this Like, no, I don't know, I
