Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna and Kevin
Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio podcast, Welcome to you, and that's what you
Speaker 1: really missed Theatricality. I'm Jenna, I'm Kevin, and today we're
Speaker 1: getting We're getting into it. We're really going for it.
Speaker 1: You thought the show was gay before? Get ready? I
Speaker 1: love this episode so much fun. Yeah, so happy. I
Speaker 1: have an audio memory from this episode. And when I
Speaker 1: think of this episode, I just think of you. I
Speaker 1: could hear you before, I could see you walking in
Speaker 1: those plastic bubbles everywhere you went, just swishing, swaying through
Speaker 1: the stages. And when Jenna gets annoyed, she gets this
Speaker 1: look on her face because you can't sit in an
Speaker 1: outfit that's just bubbles. We'll get into it, Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: get into it. That's my memory of this. Okay. So
Speaker 1: Theatricality originally aired May twenty fifth, twenty ten. It was
Speaker 1: episode twenty out of twenty two. So we're almost at
Speaker 1: the end. Oh my gosh, do you remember. So when
Speaker 1: we were we were also on tour this time, Like
Speaker 1: we said last week, we had performed in La and
Speaker 1: I remember Ryan coming in backstage saying they were going
Speaker 1: to swap the order of two of the episodes. If
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, this episode and the next episode of
Speaker 1: Funk were shot and the opposite order. We shot Funk
Speaker 1: first and then we shot Theatricality, and then they swapped
Speaker 1: them in airing order because they wanted this episode to
Speaker 1: be out sooner. I don't know, why do you remember that?
Speaker 1: We like, what does that mean? Did we all suck
Speaker 1: in Funk and they swapped it? Probably? Yeah, that that
Speaker 1: could be the King Wow. Interesting, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I mean, we're not making that up,
Speaker 1: but I think that's vaguely No, No, it sounds vaguely familiar.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right. And then I remember watching Funking
Speaker 1: being like, this wasn't my favorite episode. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that we'll see about next week here because I feel
Speaker 1: like they I feel like Ryan then also showed us
Speaker 1: a trailer for Theatricality or something like that, like we
Speaker 1: were very excited because Ryan's episode. Yes, so what was
Speaker 1: going on in the world at this time? Jenna Um
Speaker 1: number one song is still OMG. The No. One movie though,
Speaker 1: is Shrek Forever after? That's right, I've not seen any
Speaker 1: other Shrek movies. What I've only seen the first one. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're missing out, and the sequel to Shrek. The second
Speaker 1: Shrek is incredible. Oh I gotta watch. I don't love
Speaker 1: the third one, but the second one feels what I'm saying. Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: I have a child, so now's your time. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just wait till she gets the old or she actually
Speaker 1: watched TV, so I let her watch TV. Um. Okay,
Speaker 1: Glee News. This week, you said we were on tour.
Speaker 1: Where were we we were during this date? On May
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, we were performing in Chicago. We did two
Speaker 1: nights in Chicago. Do you remember we got a police
Speaker 1: escort to and from the theater. I really felt like
Speaker 1: the Obama's It really felt very important legit. Yeah, do
Speaker 1: you remember that? Crazy? I also remember yeah, well okay,
Speaker 1: so we got a private jet. It was Thomas the
Speaker 1: Stango private jet. It wasn't it was like a commuter
Speaker 1: place anyway. It's not just our expectations. Yeah you hear,
Speaker 1: private plane. It's not one of those beautiful thing about
Speaker 1: like one of those planes that like you take for
Speaker 1: an hour flight somewhere right like it's the second leg
Speaker 1: of your flight. I remember getting off that flight and
Speaker 1: then they got us sprinter vans and we had to
Speaker 1: split up, you know, because there's two minion of us
Speaker 1: to fit in one car. We split open the sprinter
Speaker 1: vans and there was always somebody that had to pee.
Speaker 1: Oh oh wait, maybe this was Chicago the second tour.
Speaker 1: It could have been this was Chicago the second door.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you great Chicago the second tour.
Speaker 1: This is the second Now we're there, we're going to stay.
Speaker 1: We're going to the hotel. Um where we stay was
Speaker 1: the illusion? Anyway? Okay, Um, We're on the way and
Speaker 1: Harry has to be really bad and we're in like
Speaker 1: bumper to bumper traffic, like NonStop traffic, um. And he's
Speaker 1: standing at the door where they had long slider dar doors,
Speaker 1: and he's staring out the window and he's like, what
Speaker 1: if I pee on the side of the shoulder and
Speaker 1: we're not moving And here he's like, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: out and do it, and the drivers like, don't do it, sir,
Speaker 1: please don't. He's like, I gotta I gotta go. And
Speaker 1: the whole time he's just staring out the big wind
Speaker 1: with his hands and I think he's going to pee
Speaker 1: his pants. Like I think this is this is really
Speaker 1: really bad. He made it. He made it, but um,
Speaker 1: there were other times we didn't make it where we
Speaker 1: had to stop on the side of the roads and
Speaker 1: pee I peted in Michigan on the side of the
Speaker 1: willow and it was yelled. Remember that one, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was second Anyway, Sorry I'm confusing tours, but we
Speaker 1: peat a lot on the side of the roads, you know,
Speaker 1: hurting cats, and then and then next week we go
Speaker 1: to New York City, so radio City. Okay, I think
Speaker 1: we should just talk about theatricality because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff to talk about. Written and directed by Ryan Um.
Speaker 1: He clearly wanted some Gaga. We got Gaga and we
Speaker 1: got a DNA man Zelle for the big big reveal.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. There was no Jane Lynch in this episode.
Speaker 1: There's no Jessely, no Jane and no Chamber and jesselyn
Speaker 1: We know, like Terry's kind of gone, like Terry's kind
Speaker 1: of out of this now. Um, but he's here without
Speaker 1: Seal Survester, Like there's no Sue Vester U storyline. But
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other stuff going on. Um, tell us,
Speaker 1: tell us about the songs. In this episode, Kevin, So,
Speaker 1: even though this episode to us feels like Gaga, it
Speaker 1: is theatricality. So we get some funny Girl, we get
Speaker 1: bad Romance by Lady Gaga, we get shouted out loud
Speaker 1: and Beth by Kiss is very theatrical, and then we
Speaker 1: get poker Faced by Lady Gaga, one of my favorite
Speaker 1: covers in the history of the show. Oh wow, I
Speaker 1: love it absolutely rich what happens this episode, Jenna all right,
Speaker 1: So Will encourages the Glee club to express themselves like
Speaker 1: my daughter using the music of Lady Gaga and Kiss.
Speaker 1: And meanwhile Rachel confronts her mom shall we um because
Speaker 1: she knows it's her birth mother. She's figured it out.
Speaker 1: Last episode, we learned that we listened to the tapes.
Speaker 1: Jesse Jesse Saint James got her to listen to the tape.
Speaker 1: So Rachel goes to visit Vocal Adrenaline. She hears her
Speaker 1: seeing funny Girl. We'll get into it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: trouble is a foot. I was so excited to do
Speaker 1: this episode. I was so happy, and I think Ryan
Speaker 1: knew how much I loved Gaga because this is when
Speaker 1: we start to see like you start to get storylines
Speaker 1: for shows or artists that you love. He started to
Speaker 1: like really listen. Um. And then Gaga actually responded to
Speaker 1: this episode and the fact that we did some of
Speaker 1: her music, which the beginning of doing her music. Um. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's a review from Tim Stack, our friend Tim Stack,
Speaker 1: who was with EW at the time. Do you remember what?
Speaker 1: Do you want to read? What he said? Kevin? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said, Tonight's Glee was definitely one of my favorite
Speaker 1: hours of the entire season. I had no idea it
Speaker 1: would be so emotional, or that I would be so emotional. Seriously,
Speaker 1: how many of you Gleeks shed said major tears during theatricality,
Speaker 1: but the episode also had several shiver producing performances and laughs.
Speaker 1: I think that's why it was so phenomenal. It does
Speaker 1: what Glee does best, which is combining comedy, music and
Speaker 1: emotional truths. And then I love that Gaga was like
Speaker 1: she said, I love Glee. Um. I love the cast
Speaker 1: and the creativity of the writers. I went to musical
Speaker 1: theater school and used to dream that someday the students
Speaker 1: would be singing my songs. Um. And then she tweeted
Speaker 1: out Glee was so amazing. How cool but wild. That
Speaker 1: felt very cool. That was before Jenna actually became friends
Speaker 1: with Lady g g This was pretty before becoming friends
Speaker 1: with good old Steph. What do you want to call you?
Speaker 1: Steph or Gaga? Either one? God. Jenna would come home
Speaker 1: we live together and tell me stories hang out with Gaga,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I can't handle this. Why don't
Speaker 1: you invite me on these trips with the best? It
Speaker 1: was the best, the best, the best, the highland of
Speaker 1: my life. Um, all right, that's season two. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that more. Okay, So Tina has quite an incredible story. Um,
Speaker 1: what do you want to tell your own story, Jenna?
Speaker 1: I think you should. Tina has a very specific look.
Speaker 1: She is God and obviously we've known this, but um
Speaker 1: we cut to her in principal Figgins office with mister
Speaker 1: Shoe asking if she's in trouble, and mister Shoe blindly
Speaker 1: thinks that she's going to have perfect attendance and she's
Speaker 1: going to be commended for it. Um. Figgins is actually
Speaker 1: afraid of vampire real He thinks vampires are real, and um,
Speaker 1: so he he is concerned that Tina's look is it's
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. Um, but mister Shoe kind
Speaker 1: of defends her and says, this is the way that
Speaker 1: she's going to defend herself, um or starting to defend herself,
Speaker 1: express herself, express yourself. And then obviously that's where mister
Speaker 1: Shoe gets his um um theme for the week, because
Speaker 1: it can't just be preplanned. He's never planned out plan ever.
Speaker 1: Can you please say you're lying about Twilight? My parents
Speaker 1: won't even let me watch Twilight. My mom says she
Speaker 1: thinks Christian Stewart seems like a bitch. It's so good
Speaker 1: I just got PTSD, like bringing Tina bag and done
Speaker 1: with money. Yeah that whoa thank you for You're a
Speaker 1: good friend, Thank you for doing that for me. So,
Speaker 1: mister Shoe, this is inspired by Tina, who has to
Speaker 1: then basically were do nothing goth and wear a sweatshirt
Speaker 1: and no makeup, which was very wild to see me
Speaker 1: look like me on screen. I mean I remember shooting
Speaker 1: this episode and Ryan being like no makeup for Jenna,
Speaker 1: no makeup, and Aaron Krueger was like, no makeup. So
Speaker 1: I get to set in Ryan's like you're wearing makeup
Speaker 1: and I was like that twenty three year old face
Speaker 1: is the twenty three year old face right there. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. So this was favor. This was really fun
Speaker 1: for me because I took zero time in the makeup
Speaker 1: trailer and it was super comfy. I was in a
Speaker 1: gray sweatshirt. I was so happy. But she looks so sad.
Speaker 1: So mister Shoe um comes up with the idea that
Speaker 1: we are going to do Gaga because is Rachel has
Speaker 1: gone to spy on Shelby, which we'll talk about later.
Speaker 1: Um and finds out that Vocal Adrenaline is doing Gaga,
Speaker 1: and so obviously mister Shoe steals that idea and hopefully
Speaker 1: helping Tina find a different look for herself, for a
Speaker 1: way to her to express herself by the way that
Speaker 1: Vocal Adrenaline performance and the outfits. That red lace is
Speaker 1: absolutely diabolical eyes. No, they're a singing group, you know,
Speaker 1: and you can't see their mouths on faces at all.
Speaker 1: They're not breathing. No, it's absolutely crazy and beautiful to
Speaker 1: look at, you know. So when, of course, sort of
Speaker 1: like Madonna, when Shoe pitches the whole Gaga thing to
Speaker 1: the glee club, the boys have a problem with it,
Speaker 1: of course, except Kurt m who says Lady Gaga as
Speaker 1: a woman, she's only the biggest pop act to come
Speaker 1: along in decades. She's boundary pushing the most theatrical form
Speaker 1: of our generation. And she changes her look faster than
Speaker 1: brit changes sexual partners, which is true. Yeah, true, And
Speaker 1: so the guys don't want to do Gaga? Did Arreadie agree? Nope? Okay,
Speaker 1: but another reason why Laradie and Kevin were not the same, right,
Speaker 1: so they get to do yes, But Finn will go
Speaker 1: to mister Shoe basically and say this is not their
Speaker 1: I don't really and you haven't really been listening to
Speaker 1: the guys, and Mister Shoe, surprisingly to finn sprise, says okay,
Speaker 1: so you're going to do Kiss I hear you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: which all right, fine, which was fun because it was
Speaker 1: I mean, of course I'd rather do Gaga, but dressing
Speaker 1: up as Kiss was wild, and we got to wear
Speaker 1: these gigantic platform shoes and have all that crazy ass
Speaker 1: maker looked insane. But Nia and I did try on
Speaker 1: each other's outfits. Oh my god, I fit into her
Speaker 1: little black lace outfit she did, because how stunning did
Speaker 1: she look? I mean unbelievable to look a little spider
Speaker 1: she just like linking around on that floor. She sounded great,
Speaker 1: she looked great. I mean, come on, when did you
Speaker 1: know you were going to be in the bubble outfit?
Speaker 1: All right? So I started having fittings for this pretty
Speaker 1: early on, and they built this bubble outfit. And when
Speaker 1: they first hit me and they fit me in a
Speaker 1: nude leotard, and they came and they basically took measurements,
Speaker 1: and then I went back and they sewed these bubbles
Speaker 1: on by hand. And these bubbles were like, imagine going
Speaker 1: to my goals and getting like really hard acrylic bubbles,
Speaker 1: clear bubbles in all different sizes. These bubbles are like
Speaker 1: imagine a Christmas tree, That's what it was. And I
Speaker 1: remember them putting these on and I was like, this
Speaker 1: is so cool. And then the wig and the gloves
Speaker 1: and the cool little go Go boots and I'm like
Speaker 1: so excited. Tina's got a storyline and we're doing the
Speaker 1: first scene, and I think the first one we did
Speaker 1: was walking down the hall when Kurovski pushes Tina and
Speaker 1: hurt is there. You guys get bullied as soon as
Speaker 1: you start showing up to school in these outfits by
Speaker 1: Krofsking and Senio, Um, I'm walking and I'm walking, and
Speaker 1: I think it's just because I'm walking down the hall
Speaker 1: that they're making sounds. But imagine literally Christmas tree and
Speaker 1: sound is like oh my god, and they're like, could
Speaker 1: you walk less noisy? And I'm like, you, guys, I this.
Speaker 1: I didn't do this, Okay, I didn't do this. So
Speaker 1: we think it's that, and then I start to feel
Speaker 1: like and like a bubble rolls away and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. And they're sewing bubbles back on me
Speaker 1: in between takes, and so there's constantly somebody like touching
Speaker 1: you at all times, and I have to keep my
Speaker 1: arms up because if I put my arms down, the
Speaker 1: balls fall off. So I just said, like the scarecrow,
Speaker 1: that's right. It's about time my arms are like scarecrows.
Speaker 1: So then we get into the next scene where we're
Speaker 1: all in the choir room. This I think this is
Speaker 1: when Rachel comes in with the stuffed animal look and
Speaker 1: we're all in our gaga looks and I'm sitting on
Speaker 1: the stool and we're in between what we're about to
Speaker 1: call action and they're like, hold hold please for sound,
Speaker 1: and they're like, what is that, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: think it's me. I was so mad at this point.
Speaker 1: I picture of you sitting next door and like the
Speaker 1: astronomy classroom on a stool, like drinking a diet coke
Speaker 1: or something, just so miserable, and they're like, could you
Speaker 1: not move? And I was like, I'm breathing. So every
Speaker 1: time the leotard would expand my lungs would expand the
Speaker 1: balls would hit each other. I was like, I'll hold
Speaker 1: my breath. Let me just hold my breath for you.
Speaker 1: Just a small oversight of the plastic pubbles. Tiny, But
Speaker 1: then when you get to the dance numbers, it's a
Speaker 1: whole other thing because you look. If you go back
Speaker 1: and you watch, you may have seen it. At the end.
Speaker 1: When I'm in the back, I'm on the top riser,
Speaker 1: there's a move that I do and you just see
Speaker 1: a ball roll down the choir, yes, down the stands,
Speaker 1: and it just starts to roll. It's towards the end
Speaker 1: of the I didn't catch that, and I was like,
Speaker 1: uh huh. They probably couldn't find a taker. There wasn't
Speaker 1: a ball rolling somewhere. And I would during the number
Speaker 1: when we were doing Bad Romance, I would say ball
Speaker 1: because I didn't want anybody to trip on. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: differs were in crazy high heels and also like masks
Speaker 1: like Heather had like a lobster mask on. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: the references of all the different outfits were pretty incredible, amazing.
Speaker 1: So Kurtz was, Um, Alexander McQueen, McQueen dress was there
Speaker 1: for a performance in Sydney. You texted Chris. I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask him about the shoes. Oh, because I if
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, they made those shoes to look like
Speaker 1: the real ales in and McQueen shoes because I don't
Speaker 1: think you can dance and those and they're probably very expensive,
Speaker 1: that's right. Um. So he sent me a voice memo
Speaker 1: and here's what he said. So Lou made those from scratch.
Speaker 1: They were a pair of red high heels that they
Speaker 1: got out of a drag shop. Um, red silettos. I
Speaker 1: think there were ten inch heels and they created them.
Speaker 1: They put fabric around them to make them look like
Speaker 1: the Alexander McQueen shoes. Sorry, I'm walking in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: so I'm in the little out of breath and um
Speaker 1: what else? Um? And they got me a separate pair
Speaker 1: Basically I called them training heels that I could walk
Speaker 1: around in so I didn't literally fall and break my ankle. Amazing.
Speaker 1: Quinn's dress was inspired by Gaga's Orbit dressed that she
Speaker 1: wanted the twenty ten Grannies designed by Our Money, which
Speaker 1: actually can see it's on display at the Park MGM
Speaker 1: on her show. That was my favorite when she should
Speaker 1: up to the Grammys in that I was obsessed with
Speaker 1: that outfit. I mean, she has put so many freakin
Speaker 1: looks it's wild. Yeah. Cut to her in a black
Speaker 1: tshirt at bat right, which I respect, man respect. And
Speaker 1: then Mercedes was the Gaga live performance of poker Face.
Speaker 1: Brittany's was the Philip Tracy Lobster hat, which is also
Speaker 1: at the MGM Grand which Heather has lots of qualms about.
Speaker 1: She was not happy. She was not a happy camper
Speaker 1: and this one she did not like it. She'd tell
Speaker 1: you herself. It was not fun and comfortable. Um. And
Speaker 1: Santana's was by a Gaga outfit that she wore to
Speaker 1: a club in Berlin. I love that, just like she's
Speaker 1: so on point all the time that even her like
Speaker 1: going out looks are memorable and iconic. Well and even
Speaker 1: when I would hang out with her, just go to
Speaker 1: go to a bar, she would wear I was like,
Speaker 1: what is she going to show up in? You just
Speaker 1: don't know? Right well, she like always in like full
Speaker 1: Gaga dragon. No no, no, she wore a black she
Speaker 1: like black dress, black stockings and like always like a
Speaker 1: lar platform boo, like a very like an oversized platform boot.
Speaker 1: She's little, isn't she's she was tiny, She's like my
Speaker 1: my height. Yeah, um, okay, how was it performing Bad Romance?
Speaker 1: I feel like this and Born this Way are so
Speaker 1: big for Glee, like I amongst us in the Glee world,
Speaker 1: Like doing Gaga at all was such a big deal
Speaker 1: and this number is so good. Do you have fun
Speaker 1: doing it? Minus the balls everywhere? Like did the girls another?
Speaker 1: Like a girl number is the dream for me as
Speaker 1: an audience member. Did you guys feel and it's like
Speaker 1: the precursor to the trouble tones? Like did you feel
Speaker 1: like you guys were the ship? Because you were? We did?
Speaker 1: We love rehearsing together. I think Zach like working with
Speaker 1: the girls because they were most of us were dancers,
Speaker 1: and like you didn't have like Corey being like witch Book.
Speaker 1: So I think it was. It happened really fast. We
Speaker 1: got the numbers really fast, and everybody was just like
Speaker 1: played to their strength in this number. I think like
Speaker 1: even with the costumes and how miserable we were, like,
Speaker 1: we still had such a good time doing it, and
Speaker 1: like being able to go into a recording studio in
Speaker 1: Hollywood and record Gaga songs which were like she was
Speaker 1: at the height of her career. It really felt like
Speaker 1: it just felt like I was like, oh, I I'm here,
Speaker 1: you know I'm here. Um, and Gaga like fit in
Speaker 1: my voice so well, so like it just felt like
Speaker 1: I was in my element and all the girls like,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on. She sounded insane, casually wailing on
Speaker 1: this song, just a wild, wild number. I love this song.
Speaker 1: I actually forgot how much I liked this. Um this
Speaker 1: song like just to listen to on Spotify, because the
Speaker 1: costumes like took away from that in my mind right,
Speaker 1: because we did it on tours while with the Bubbles,
Speaker 1: which they resecured into in a different costume, I was
Speaker 1: able to Dan's in but yeah, no, we this was
Speaker 1: so so much fun. And then the boys do kiss
Speaker 1: to express themselves. Um, you guys were in this. I
Speaker 1: remember I'd like, you guys, the girls had to do
Speaker 1: some crazy stuff and just when the crazy outfits like before,
Speaker 1: but this was like one of the first times you
Speaker 1: guys had to wear full makeup, full costume, this whole thing, like, um,
Speaker 1: tell me about that. I was happy because, like, about
Speaker 1: damn time, you guys are having all the fun with
Speaker 1: all these things. I just remember those boots were so
Speaker 1: tall that sitting in the wheelchair was sort of an
Speaker 1: issue because my knees were up to my chin. Basically, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I just remember recording the song. So my boyfriend
Speaker 1: at the time Brazilian shout out to Marco and his
Speaker 1: whole family are obsessed with kiss, Like the only reason
Speaker 1: I knew who Kiss was was because of them. The
Speaker 1: kiss is still big in Brazil, and I texted like
Speaker 1: this family, I'm like, guys, guess what we're doing next episode.
Speaker 1: We're doing Kiss And so I felt it gave me
Speaker 1: a real big push to try to do them justice
Speaker 1: fair enough, and so it was I was really excited
Speaker 1: for them to get to do this, and I didn't
Speaker 1: know what the song Beth was. I remember texting them
Speaker 1: like what is Beth? They're like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Massive right songs. Yeah, and so you know, we got
Speaker 1: to scream and shout, and I loved watching everybody go
Speaker 1: crazy and seeing you know, Corey like whale and the
Speaker 1: drums like that. It was fun. You guys were also
Speaker 1: so supportive of us. You know how fun it was
Speaker 1: for us to watch you guys perform. And then because
Speaker 1: in the Dawn episode we just sat around a piano
Speaker 1: and sang, this time you guys got to watch us
Speaker 1: and cheer us on and it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Guys walking out of the makeup trailer and us being like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, guy had to walk. We had to
Speaker 1: walk from our trailers at base Camp, which is like
Speaker 1: where we all hung out choose that, and so you
Speaker 1: guys had to walk in those huge heel platform heels
Speaker 1: and you're like, good luck boys. I kept rolling my
Speaker 1: ankle because we all know that these ankles are weak,
Speaker 1: brittle brittle bones. So then what happens in the actual
Speaker 1: episode is we do kids, We perform it, and then
Speaker 1: Puck and the boys do another number. Beth, like we said,
Speaker 1: because he wants to name he and Quinn's daughter Beth.
Speaker 1: Then she's not about it. She's like, stop naming this baby.
Speaker 1: This is not happening. Like Puck says, well, Jackie Daniels
Speaker 1: is a great name for like a powerboat or something.
Speaker 1: It's not the right It's not right for a baby girl,
Speaker 1: thank god. And so there's that whole thing happening. But
Speaker 1: the best part is, Tina, you get to do this
Speaker 1: incredible scene. Please walk us through it. So in the
Speaker 1: first scene, Tina think finds out years out that she
Speaker 1: thinks Figgins thinks vampires are real. So in order to
Speaker 1: be able to dress like goth again, she comes in
Speaker 1: and and scares him to scares him into letting her
Speaker 1: dress goth again or the vampires will come get her.
Speaker 1: We shot this at the end of the day and
Speaker 1: I got to do like really dark golf makeup, and
Speaker 1: I got to wear this awesome cape that they got me.
Speaker 1: It was like vintage. We found it somewhere and those
Speaker 1: vampire teeth actually were made like flippers. Some guy had
Speaker 1: to come to my house and fit my teeth, do
Speaker 1: a full impression, went home, made me these porcelain teeth
Speaker 1: that I got to wear, these fangs, and then Aaron
Speaker 1: was like, you can keep these because these were made
Speaker 1: for you. So I got to keep my vampire teeth,
Speaker 1: although they don't fit anymore because I didn't Visiligne, so
Speaker 1: my bite is different. But I had the vampire teeth
Speaker 1: for a very long time. The details that goes into
Speaker 1: all these things, truly, it's a good budget they had
Speaker 1: right there, Yeah, or else I would have been wearing
Speaker 1: those like Halloween one, yes, party city things. Um. And
Speaker 1: I got to do the scene and um, Ryan kept
Speaker 1: laughing like in the middle of day, and I could
Speaker 1: hear and like they could you can like edit that out,
Speaker 1: but you could hear him in the background, like and
Speaker 1: like when he laughed like that, you knew that you
Speaker 1: were doing something right. Yeah, and he's like, use your
Speaker 1: hair and do the whole thing. But what was really
Speaker 1: funny was Viggins like abal would come out, um from
Speaker 1: around the corner and I would scare him, and every
Speaker 1: time he would say something different and it would kill
Speaker 1: me and I have to keep a straight face. And
Speaker 1: the one which did what did they use? I can't remember.
Speaker 1: The one that got me the worst was he comes
Speaker 1: around the corner and I scare him and he goes,
Speaker 1: no it for And then another one he came around
Speaker 1: the corny goes he screamed like a little girl. I
Speaker 1: mean I screamed like a little girl. And it was
Speaker 1: just so much fun. It was fun working with Figgins.
Speaker 1: It was fun to do something totally different. It was
Speaker 1: fun to have a little storyline that was like based
Speaker 1: around Tina's goth look. So that was really enjoyable. It's
Speaker 1: so good. It is so good. So another thing that's
Speaker 1: going on in this episode is that Rachel we find
Speaker 1: We know that Rachel figures out that Shelby corker and
Speaker 1: it's her mom because Jesse in the previous episode knows
Speaker 1: I got her to listen to tape. So she goes
Speaker 1: to spy on Vocal Adrynaline where she finds out they're
Speaker 1: gonna do Ganga and sees Shelby her mom do Funny Girl.
Speaker 1: Ironic three to sixteen moment. Here we are Adina doing
Speaker 1: Funny Girl. That's the aptricality she did, I mean a
Speaker 1: beautiful job. Yeah, it was fun to see her do
Speaker 1: a Broadway number. And then Rachel goes to Shelby and
Speaker 1: she shows her her you know, gaga outfit because her
Speaker 1: dad's obviously don't know how to sew and did a
Speaker 1: poor job with stucking animals. And Shelby gives her her
Speaker 1: paparazzi luck, which was so good. I was like, can
Speaker 1: you wear that on a red carpet police? Right? It
Speaker 1: was legit. Will and Shelby then meet up to talk
Speaker 1: about Rachel and Shelby can't have kids anymore, and there's
Speaker 1: all this conflict where for a huge reveal like this,
Speaker 1: it's also sort of surprising that they're both sort of
Speaker 1: like cool with it, Like there's this weird, uncomfortable right
Speaker 1: tension and for someone like Rachel and Shelby, who are
Speaker 1: so sure of themselves, they're both like, what do we
Speaker 1: do with this information? What's out here? And Shelby then
Speaker 1: realizes that even though she's been plotting this for the
Speaker 1: whole time that they've been each other's lives the past
Speaker 1: couple episodes, she tells Rachel it's too late for them
Speaker 1: to have a relationship and they've sort of like missed
Speaker 1: the boat on it, and she then gives her like
Speaker 1: a commemorative class to remember yeah, with like a gold
Speaker 1: star and it sort of her thing, And then they
Speaker 1: decide to sing this beautiful rendition of an inappropriate song
Speaker 1: which ends up being like okay, and there's that storyline,
Speaker 1: like having them have like this really emotional moment and
Speaker 1: they sound incredible on poker Face and then you hear
Speaker 1: some of those lyrics and it's so funny, and then
Speaker 1: it brings you back to like the satire that the
Speaker 1: show is right and also the brilliance of Gaga at
Speaker 1: the same time. That's right, that's right. Yeah, and he
Speaker 1: makes it all okay because poker Face is so good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny. Come the Gaga and Kiss stuff is happening,
Speaker 1: and it's all sort of like silly whatever blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And then the other two storylines with
Speaker 1: Rachel and her mom and now getting into um, Kurt
Speaker 1: and Finn are all deeply serious things, right, Um, So
Speaker 1: you have that nice little balance of what's happening because
Speaker 1: m Briand does best is like, you know, the groundedness
Speaker 1: and the emotion and the heart in these like very
Speaker 1: elevated satirical kind of things that are happening as well.
Speaker 1: All right, tell me, tell me about Kurt and Burt
Speaker 1: Well and the quickest movement in history. Burt and Carroll
Speaker 1: announced they're moving in together, and then next scene they're
Speaker 1: they've moved in together and Kurt offers to redecorate. He
Speaker 1: does it, and he reveals it to Finn much to
Speaker 1: be honest, it's crazy. It's absolutely psychotic, you know. And
Speaker 1: and he's even like Kurt has put up sort of
Speaker 1: a divider in the room and he's talking about the
Speaker 1: themes that he was inspired by and says how it's
Speaker 1: more masculine for Finn and wants him to feel comfortable,
Speaker 1: and Finn starts to crack. He's been cracking this whole
Speaker 1: episode with Kurt. But he's like, I don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about that stuff. And Finn, and you know, Kurt's like,
Speaker 1: what step are referring to? And then Finn goes on
Speaker 1: this tirade where he starts like calling objects in the
Speaker 1: room the F word no bo yeah, and I know
Speaker 1: some people get triggered by that word, so trying to
Speaker 1: avoid it here. But Bert, like the father of the
Speaker 1: Year he is, bursts down those stairs and into the
Speaker 1: room and they have one of the greatest scenes where
Speaker 1: Bert just goes in on him. He puts him in
Speaker 1: his place about like what that word actually means, and
Speaker 1: finns like, well, that's what I was talking. He's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I was like you when I said that word, I
Speaker 1: knew what it meant, and you know what it means.
Speaker 1: And if you're not saying too Kurt and he kicks
Speaker 1: them out. Yeah, he said you can't live here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is huge because obviously it's showing Kurt he comes first, right,
Speaker 1: which there's a kind of I deal with like a
Speaker 1: lot of parents and kids, you know, divorced kids and
Speaker 1: remarrying and all those like kind of large issues. And
Speaker 1: in several weeks of Kurt feeling threatened by Bert and
Speaker 1: Finn's relationship sort of this masculine, macho talk about sports things.
Speaker 1: And this is where we get to see the acting
Speaker 1: chops that we love so much from Chris and from
Speaker 1: Michael O'Malley that are like they tug at your heartstrings.
Speaker 1: They're done so beautifully. These all three of them like
Speaker 1: take such care in what they were saying and how
Speaker 1: they were saying it, and it was just really um
Speaker 1: those scenes really blow me away. And I know that
Speaker 1: they were. I think Ryan would like really I remember
Speaker 1: him like really commending them for the work that they
Speaker 1: did and that in that scene. But it's not easy
Speaker 1: too for someone like Corey who was so the opposite
Speaker 1: of that scene right to have to go in there
Speaker 1: and just start shouting that stuff at now our friends
Speaker 1: and co workers and things like that, which is crazy.
Speaker 1: But when you're in safe hands like Ryan's, you feel
Speaker 1: supported and that he just wants you to do what's
Speaker 1: right for the scene, and he did right, and then
Speaker 1: michael'malley walking out really looks great, which had to be
Speaker 1: an ableb oh ways, right, it's so good. God Apparent
Speaker 1: of the year, you know, Apparent of the Year. So
Speaker 1: Kurt keeps getting harassed because he's obviously walking around in
Speaker 1: the gaga outfit at school, and Finn is like, can
Speaker 1: you just cut it out, like blend in like this?
Speaker 1: You're calling this on yourself. So after they're big blowout,
Speaker 1: we're in the choir of the glee club and Finn
Speaker 1: and Kurt are both missing, and we see that Kurt
Speaker 1: is getting harassed by football players again. So Finn then
Speaker 1: comes to Kurt's rescue and Finn's like, you got you
Speaker 1: gotta stop, and he stops them from literally about to
Speaker 1: punch Kurt in the face. And then the glee club
Speaker 1: realizes that they're missing, so they go to look for
Speaker 1: them and they hear it and they're like, oh she
Speaker 1: and everybody rolls up and to help Finn in the
Speaker 1: club and we're all in our crazy looks and everybody
Speaker 1: is there, and Finnish showing up for Kurt obviously after
Speaker 1: that big fight and the Lady Gaga outfit that Finn
Speaker 1: war was the latex designed by Kudo when she met Barry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible, the Queen of England. But um, and then,
Speaker 1: and that's theatricality, and that's not the first time that
Speaker 1: will end up in big outfits in that hallway. Remember Kevin,
Speaker 1: when we end up in Um, what is the episode
Speaker 1: directed by Ian that we did were you're the bald head?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like the X Men, the Superheroes stuff. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're right, it's very reminiscent of it. Anyway, Um, well,
Speaker 1: this is a really fun episode. Should we do some
Speaker 1: tarty takes? Absolutely? Absolutely? Okay, cringe moments aka Paris Barclay
Speaker 1: auchie I. Honestly, there weren't a lot of moments in
Speaker 1: this episode of No I think I get cringey when
Speaker 1: like Puck is talking about keeping the baby and Quinn
Speaker 1: is like no, and then some of the Rachel and
Speaker 1: Shelby stuff is a little awkward because they're like, I
Speaker 1: don't want us to be a family's like leave me
Speaker 1: alone sort of thing. I just she's uncomfortable. She gave
Speaker 1: her the cup instead of like giving her a relationship tea. Yes,
Speaker 1: like what, okay? Fair? Worst dance move? I would like
Speaker 1: to talk about best dance move, and I would think
Speaker 1: it's all of you and Bad Romance doing the iconic
Speaker 1: Bad Romance choreography is pretty incredible. I gotta say it
Speaker 1: was pretty good. It was one of my favorites. The
Speaker 1: song all right, I mean I think I know yours Kevin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with poker Face. Sorry, that's okay, I'll
Speaker 1: go with Bad Romance. We'll even it out great love
Speaker 1: that for us performance Kiss for Us? Sorry? Sorry? Um,
Speaker 1: I pick the Bubble, the Falling Bubble. Yep, I think
Speaker 1: the bubbles are the best prop in this entire episode
Speaker 1: and the best mind. Um. I'm gonna have to go
Speaker 1: with Bert's whole speech to Finn kicking him out. I
Speaker 1: think that is one of the best written scenes. Agreed.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes, absolutely please, Oh my god. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Jenna on TikTok this week. Um, miss dot and
Speaker 1: or Hummel on TikTok post an edit of the intro
Speaker 1: of the musical. You know the X Wives song where
Speaker 1: they all introduce themselves, but it's with all the ladies
Speaker 1: of the Glee Club. It's Utina and Brittany and Quinn
Speaker 1: and Mercedes and Santana and Rachel. Now is one of
