We're at the end of our GLEI era. 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: Oh and it feels appropriate, only appropriate to ask ourselves 6 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: and for me to ask you and you to ask me, Kevin, 7 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: what is the feeling that leaves you with? But first, 8 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: if you've listened to the show at all for the 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: last three years, which thank you for coming on this 10 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: journey with us, you've heard us ask all of our 11 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Glee guests, what's the feeling that Lee leaves you with? 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: I think that we should revisit some of our favorite 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: responses from some of our past guests over the last 14 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: three years. 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: Beautiful, I love the sound of that. 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: Okay, great, So let's start with mister Schwe himself, Matthew Morrison. 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 3: It is so mixed. Don't have a single answer for 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: that question. Like I said, it was the highest of 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 3: highs and the lowest of lows. But when I look 20 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: back at it, and I'm so proud. I'm proud of 21 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: the impact that we had in society. I'm proud of 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: all the things that we did for so many communities 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: that were underserved or underrepresented. The show opened people's eyes 24 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: to diversity, to people who weren't the status quo, who 25 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: looked different, who acted different, And I feel. 26 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 4: Like it was the beginning of such a revolution. 27 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: And for me, that is so beautiful to have been 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: at the kind of nucleus of that whole. 29 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 5: You know thing. 30 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: So I can't look back and and be you know, 31 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: I can complain about being overworked and you know. 32 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 5: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 33 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 3: But just like the impact, that's the thing that will 34 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 3: stand the test of time. And for me, I think 35 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: that is, uh, that's a beautiful thing because most shows, most. 36 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 4: TV shows do not have an impact. 37 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 6: There. 38 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: They're binge worthy, they're fun, they're you know, you might 39 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 3: learn something, but there's there are a few and far 40 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 3: between shows that have like a cultural impact and a 41 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 3: societal people. So I love being a part of that legacy. 42 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: A very real answer. I love that. Yes, you know 43 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: it's a mixed bag, but ultimately, yes, we loved it. 44 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 7: We love it. 45 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: Okay, Next, let's hear from Miss Mercedes Jones Amberiety. 46 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 8: I would think besides, if I ever had a child. 47 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 8: That is the bosth amazing thing that I've done.

I think it was like the 355 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: first time we had heard that, but happy Pride, Happy Pride. 356 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: After Ian came on, as I guess we started hearing 357 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: Pride a lot more actually, so he started the trend. 358 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: One of our favorite directors and people, Paris Barclay, I. 359 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 6: Would say, glee is when I think practically it's emotional. 360 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 6: That's the word I get so emotional that some shows 361 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 6: I feel, oh, that was stressful. Some shows I feel 362 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 6: that was hilarious. Is that's not too often for that, 363 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,479 Speaker 6: But I feel very emotional about Glee, and I have 364 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 6: to say it's often tinged with sadness. It's sort of 365 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 6: like a youth, a period of longing for youth that 366 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 6: you can't get back, and sometimes saddeness. To me, I'll 367 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 6: be totally honest, because I sort of look at what's 368 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 6: transpired postly from Afar and I saw the Michelle and 369 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 6: Find a Girl last night and she was fantastic. I 370 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 6: realized that part of our family has kind of ruptured 371 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 6: around things that people did then, and that really makes 372 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 6: me sad. You know, I wish, I wish, I wish 373 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 6: I had to go to the festival. I wish there 374 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 6: were some more forgiveness in it. I think Ryan said 375 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 6: a great tone at the beginning of your podcast because 376 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 6: he was kind of owning up to his own mistakes 377 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 6: and kind of forgiving himself in a really beautiful way. 378 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 6: And I feel like I've definitely made mistakes, and I 379 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 6: certainly made more mistakes when I was the age that 380 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 6: you were in Lee, and I just wish that that 381 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 6: would rain. I wish that people would just let things 382 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 6: go and just hold on to the fact that there 383 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 6: was a beautiful, beautiful show that moved a lot of 384 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 6: people and talked about a lot of really important things. 385 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 6: I will never forget. It's also in Wheels when Sue 386 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 6: Sylvester brings in Lauren and that story that then becomes 387 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 6: a story with Robin. That story had a huge impact 388 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 6: on that community and people who love people who have 389 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 6: Down syndrome. That's really really emotional and powerful. 390 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: Kevin, you loved this interview with our incredible friend and 391 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: also the mastermind behind Glee's marketing campaigns, Joe Early.

And if you haven't heard that interview, also, 394 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: it's just so specific to the advertising and like how 395 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: the tone was set essentially to the masses. So Joe, really, I. 396 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 19: Mean, it was just an absolute thrill ride from the beginning. 397 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 19: I am sort of like a chronically optimistic person, you know, 398 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 19: I walk on the sunny side of the street. 399 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 5: But that show was so just personally meaningful. 400 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 19: But I watched it.

I remember Dante knew that. Dante knew I 404 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 19: was like a fanatic, even though I was all cool 405 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 19: on the side and everything. He'd do that as a fact, 406 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 19: and he would share songs with me in advance, so 407 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 19: I would hear songs and not even have not even 408 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 19: have the scripts.
