<v Speaker 5>Andrew and I are actually celebrating ten years of friendship

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:45.679
<v Speaker 5>this summer. Woh God, thank you, thank you. I realized

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 5>that last night as I was going through like Facebook memories.

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 5>But Andrew and I met around this time in twenty thirteen,

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 5>and we were both doing a pre college program at

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 5>the School of Visual Art Art, which was like a three.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 4>Week long art program.

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 5>Come to a college, see what it's like, live in

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 5>the dorms.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 4>Immerse yourself in New York City. And I'm a little

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:14.519
<v Speaker 4>bit of supervision.

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 5>And the very first day, I had been to New

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 5>York once before, and this was like my biggest dream

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 5>was to live in New York go to art school.

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 5>It was going to be great and incredible. And I

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 5>just said goodbye to my parents, and my mom like

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 5>walks away, sobbing because this is the first time she's

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 5>ever said goodbye to me for this long. And I

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 5>meet my roommates and I go downstairs to this like orientation.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 5>We're going to have an orientation in this auditorium of

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 5>the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 4>And I'm standing there.

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm waiting for my roommate because she said that she

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.119
<v Speaker 5>would be right down I was going to meet her,

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 5>and I'm standing there, And previous that previous week, I

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 5>had just attended Darren Chris's tour at the Varsity Theater

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 5>in Minneapolis, where I'm from, and so I'm wearing tour

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 5>merch and I'm in the lobby and this guy walks

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 5>up to me and is like, is that Chris tour merch.

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, yeah, it is.

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I was.

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 3>I was there like two weeks prior, and so it

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.799
<v Speaker 3>was just like a culmination. It was just meant to be.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 3>Of course, Darren Chris, Glee, everything bringing us together. And

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 3>so here we all are ten years later. Yeah, crazy

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.119
<v Speaker 3>that we're even sharing this story with y'all.

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, really truly insane. Those three weeks Andrew and

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 5>I really built our beautiful, beautiful friendship that we have today.

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 5>And on this little known show that I don't know

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 5>if anybody really talks about anymore, Glee.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, never heard of it. But on a somber note,

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 3>because that was July of twenty thirteen, and only a

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 3>few short days after we met, was when Corey right,

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>and so it was it was like, at least for me,

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.559
<v Speaker 3>like it was like so nice to have someone because

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 3>like that was the biggest like celebrity like that had

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 3>passed that It was it's it's an odd thing to

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 3>grieve someone that you've never met, but you like invite

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 3>into your home every week and you know so much

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 3>about and so yeah, I think that was just like

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 3>even more so bringing us together.

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I was also in New York at that time, so

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>we were all there. Oh wow, yes, yes, yes, I

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>was in New York. When I found out. I was

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>at a club and our producer called and I left

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 1>the club.

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh gosh.

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>And then but Cord was in New York, Harry was

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in New York, Adam Shankman was in New York, and

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>we all got together the next day out a little

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>gaggle of us and then yeah, yeah, weird times, yes, strange.

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry to bring that up.

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Now it happens.

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it happened.

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Jenna and I are about to we're coming up on

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:26.200

<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, September is fifteen years.

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that crazy?

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Wait, like quick friends for you two as well? Like

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 3>how like was it match heaven from the from the start? Yeah,

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 3>it was very quick.

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know a lot of we met it on

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the at our network tests for the show, But Chris

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and I were the ones who came from out of

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>town and moved. Lee had already been here and Kevin

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>lived here, and so Chris and I like lived at

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the grove basically for a while. And then Amber and

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Kevin and Chris and I all became really close, and

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>then Kevin and I became really close, and so it

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>was just like this. It was a really nice little

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>thing to have the four of us together because they

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>put us in rehearsal before Leah and Corey, and Corey

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't here yet, so it was just the four of

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>us being like, who's this Finn guy, who's this Leah?

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>That's right? And then I would go home and she'd

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>be like, tell me about them, So, yes, exactly, Okay,

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>So tell I'm curious about your separate stories of when

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>you when Glee came into your life, what that was like,

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>how like where were you and what was going on?

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, for me, I remember the first season premiered when

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I was in eighth grade, and so.

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I was, okay.

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 3>I am I'm a senior in high school now, yeah,

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 3>but I remember going in like I remember hearing obviously

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 3>a huge hit, and I remember everybody was talking about it,

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 3>and I was an eighth grade hipster, and I was

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 3>like rejecting, rejecting, rejecting, and I remember, for the record,

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 3>it's like, who needs the show is popular? Yeah, But

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 3>and I also like knew because I was like a

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 3>huge fan of Lost, and I knew that, like, if

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 3>I were to start another show that I would fall hard.

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 3>And that is exactly what happened when my mom, Like,

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 3>because my mom obviously had an inclination that I was

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 3>of the gay variety, and and so I think that

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 3>she's sort of like slid. We went to Target together.

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 3>Actually she was like point us to the Glee DVD

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 3>a Target employee, and the Target employe was like, you

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 3>don't want to watch that show. I can't stand Jane Lynch.

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 3>And this guy just like had this vendetta against Jane

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Lynch and.

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Like the things you could not like about the show,

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I can't stand.

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 3>This Target employee was not going to get in my

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 3>way watching this show. And so obviously watched the pilot

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.319
<v Speaker 3>and just like everybody else who watched that pilot, fell

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 3>deeply in love and it's been my personality ever since.

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's amazing. Did this so this happened before you

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>were out.

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and so I mean, like I don't even want

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 3>to like harp on this because you already know how

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:48.199
<v Speaker 3>many lives were touched through this show, but like it

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.959
<v Speaker 3>obviously was instrumental in my my coming out process. I

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 3>didn't come out until I was a senior in high school,

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 3>and I was the like the only person that was

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.199
<v Speaker 3>out when I did come out senior, and so it

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 3>was like I remember, like Kurt talking about like being

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 3>the only person that was out in school, and so

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 3>without getting EMO, it's just like, yeah, I mean, like

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 3>you you saved and countless lives. You were instrumental and

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 3>changing so many, uh is, particularly young LGBT lives and

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 3>and so I'm sure you already know that, but just

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 3>to say it again.

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Did your have you talked to your mom about her?

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about that this morning. I've never I'm serious.

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like, uh, yeah, I'll ask you. I'll get

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 2>back to you about that. I just feel like that

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>would be a weird conversation for some right, I mean.

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Did you know? And you put Glee in.

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 3>Front of me trying to say, well, the funniest, the

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 3>funniest thing was that I started watching episodes ahead because

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 3>I would watch them with my mom, and then like

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 3>after the pilot, was like, Okay, I need to like

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 3>blast through these episodes, but my mom obviously had other

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 3>things to do than watch Glee and so and so

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 3>then I started watching ahead. And then at the end

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 3>of Pregger's when Kurt comes out to Burr, like, I

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 3>was rewatching the episode with her, and I knew it

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 3>was coming, and so I was like, I'm gonna leave now,

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 3>and so I just left. Uh, it was not part

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 3>of that conversation.

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 2>We have met a lot of people who have talked

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 2>about the show was a way for them to sort

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 2>of engage with their parents by not talking about it

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>like that these are my people, these characters are sort

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 2>of like me, and presenting it in a way that

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>is in your living room every single week on a

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 2>major network where the things weren't normally seen or addressed,

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 2>and that did open the dialogue for so many people,

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, between parents that make that process a little

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>easier because it is always just so uncomfortable and awkward

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 2>and you don't know how to do it. But it's

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 2>fascinating to see that, Yeah, what about you, Alis, and

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 2>what was your story.

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 5>It also came out when I was in eighth grade

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 5>and I was in school. I remember, like I can

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 5>see being in my middle school hallway and having my

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 5>friend Olivia come up to me and be like, Alison,

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 5>there's this show that just came out.

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna love it.

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 5>It's amazing, it's great, and it's everything you've ever wanted.

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't have time.

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.679
<v Speaker 5>I'm very busy. I'm a backstage tech crew for the

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 5>middle school production. Amazing, I'm a busy girl.

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I get to this, but I remember.

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 5>In my childhood home, in our guest room, we had

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 5>this little cube of a TV. Back before you needed

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 5>a box or a cable box or anything. It was

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 5>just plugging in and you could have the INTENTNA to

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 5>connect to whatever I wanted. And so my brother and

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 5>I that's where we would like watch TV. And I

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 5>remember the first episode of Glee I ever watched because

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 5>it was on and I was sitting there and I

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 5>was like, oh, Olivia told me about this was the

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 5>power of Madonna. And I can see Kurt and Mercedes

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 5>walking down the hallway on this little TV in my

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 5>guest bedroom, like in my mind's eye, absolutely perfect.

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 4>That's how formative it was.

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:35.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because after that, I was like, oh, yeah, this,

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:36.199
<v Speaker 5>I need.

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 4>To consume every bit of this. And so my mom

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 4>and I would go to.

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 5>The library and rent the box set because I think

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.479
<v Speaker 5>season one was on a box set at that point.

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 5>And so I would check out the DVDs one at

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 5>a time from the library. And I have this thing

0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 5>where I biologically cannot return a library item time, even

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 5>on my Kindle, I can't do it, and so I

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 5>would just have like overdue charges because I was watched

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 5>like watching them over and over and over again. And

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 5>I watched the whole first season that way with my

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 5>mom on a DVD, and then I was set up

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 5>to watch season two, episode one live, so it was

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 5>all that whole summer. But yeah, I was very much

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 5>a theater kid starting from then. I was like, oh,

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 5>this is everything. And I definitely modeled my personalities after

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 5>Lee characters. But but yeah, it followed me throughout high

0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 5>school and it was a big part of like why

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm I Andrew, why I had my core friend group,

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 5>and it was great.

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious for you guys, like because it was live

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 1>on TV, like when you were watching it, because a

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of kids now are you know, rewatching on Hellu

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and Disney. Like what was it like in school? Did

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>it feel like everybody was talking about it and watching

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>it or did it feel like it was like just

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>your core group that was like totally into it. I'm

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>just curious.

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 3>The funniest thing was that I don't know because I

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 3>started watching it live, just like Allison in season two,

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 3>and I remember like everybody is talking about it week

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 3>to week, and I'm like, I'm also obsessed with it.

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 3>But then like as the years went on and I

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 3>just like would I would be like, hey, like Simona,

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 3>are you still watching Glean And She's like no, and

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, bye, come on, like we just had a

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 3>popping episode. It's fine, yeah, but yeah no, like it's

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 3>in its hype obviously. Like I remember being so so

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 3>bitter that uh that that like there were like fans

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 3>of the show that were like not as big a

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 3>fans that went to Glee Live and I didn't go,

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, you guys should be there?

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Got it for me?

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 5>I think when I would go to school, I would

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 5>have my close group of friends that were like, Allison,

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 5>what's going on in Glee? Noose not watching it, but

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 5>they know I'm going to tell them about it right

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.119
<v Speaker 5>whether they like it or not. But I think mostly

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.200
<v Speaker 5>what it was was I was heavy into the Tumblr community,

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 5>and I was heavy, heavy, heavy in the internet side,

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 5>So like I would be at school kind of talking

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 5>about it a little bit with my school friends, but

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 5>then I would go home and just all internet all

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 5>the time, talk about it online in that sort of format,

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 5>and that was very much like, I don't know, it

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:12.879
<v Speaker 5>was great.

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 4>To have people to talk about that with.

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.479
<v Speaker 5>Even if I'm sitting in class, like I need to

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 5>tell people about the scientists, I need to.

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Talk about the breakup.

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Nobody's talking about it.

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm breaking out.

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 3>I remember I had to leave class when I had

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 3>like because y'all would like release the music and like

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 3>prior to the episode release, and so I remember for

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 3>the hundredth episode, like it was revealed a while like

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 3>before that, Santana, Brittany and Quinn would be singing Toxic

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.120
<v Speaker 3>and I was just like, God, I am counting down

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.359
<v Speaker 3>the days and to really have that MP three and

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 3>so like it came out while I was like in

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 3>psych class and like I was like, I need to

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.639
<v Speaker 3>go to the bathroom now, and like I need to

0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 3>listen to this, and so I fully just like listened

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 3>to it and about I don't even know if I

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 3>shared that story with you, Alison, but I was like,

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.880
<v Speaker 3>this is content I need right now.

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 5>I left a job interview early because I knew that

0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.199
<v Speaker 5>there was an episode of Glee on that night. I

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 5>was like they were like, oh, can you stick around

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 5>and maybe do start some training?

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, I am so.

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, You're like, I gotta get some book.

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 4>I booked tonight. I got plans.

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Do you guys have There's so many things that

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 1>we could ask favorite things. Do you have a favorite storyline?

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean I just jumped in there. I'm just curious.

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 3>No. I loved the Britanna season two storyline, which Kevin,

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 3>you obviously had a lot a part of being romantically

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 3>linked with Brittany at the time. And I just remember

0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:00.959
<v Speaker 3>obviously like Kurt was so great for or queer kids,

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.879
<v Speaker 3>but I remember when it was like Santana's time to

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 3>like come out and talk about her sexuality. That just

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.959
<v Speaker 3>like hit so much closer to home because I remember

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 3>like reading the spoilers ahead of time that it was like, Hey,

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Santana and Brittany are actually going to get in a relationship.

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:18.880
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, this is going to be hilarious,

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 3>because these are two hilarious characters. But the way that

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 3>they dealt with it was so delicate and beautiful, and

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.400
<v Speaker 3>it's like I have all of the scenes like memorized

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.199
<v Speaker 3>without sounding like a crazy person, but I feel like

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 3>I already do. Yeah, but yeah, definitely Britanna all the way.

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:40.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm obsessed.

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:44.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think for me, I have two. I have

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.719
<v Speaker 5>one that I'm really obsessed with right now in the

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.439
<v Speaker 5>scheme of our recent podcast work. But then I have

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.120
<v Speaker 5>one that's like sat with me forever. And the one

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.719
<v Speaker 5>that sat with me forever is the very beginning, like

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 5>west Side story storyline.

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:03.640
<v Speaker 4>The whole building of that production.

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 5>And because I was a student director of Legally.

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 6>Blonde and so I was like all about theater, and

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:24.359
<v Speaker 6>I saw already doing kind of not not necessarily the

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:29.920
<v Speaker 6>exact same conversations, but kind of that sort of ambition

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 6>and directing decision making and just like backstage stuff.

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 4>I love. I loved the.

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 5>Theater drama that went on in my high school, but

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 5>also to see it projected on television I loved and

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 5>Finchel and Clay were like my two like OTPs if

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 5>you will. And so the West Side Story, I was like,

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 5>give it me. I'm heating this up. I'm eating this

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 5>And that's when I like West Side Story opened the

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 5>song time Doors for me. I was like, I was like, oh,

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 5>this is incredible. Yeah, exactly exactly.

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:20.200
<v Speaker 1>It was not the best, okay.

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 5>But I think the one that I'm obsessed with right now. Yes,

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:27.160
<v Speaker 5>maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but we just partnered

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.440
<v Speaker 5>with We did a guest spot on another Glee podcast,

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 5>recovering Gleek Shout Out, another incredible Glee podcast. But we

0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 5>did an episode on what the World Needs Now from

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:48.680
<v Speaker 5>season six and the Sam shot Sam I could write,

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Ted talks about why it's important?

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Why are you to be.

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 5>Talking about it?

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, I forgot that happened.

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 3>I said the fact that this is what you're hitching

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:05.880
<v Speaker 3>your your wagon.

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Joe.

0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, you always say about sort of the same

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 2>things because they're classics and they're great, but every now

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 2>and then a little spice it up with a little variety.

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Thinks we don't normally a good reminder, still reminder.

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 5>That that happened that, you know, upon reflection, I've grown

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 5>and I've become a little bit more emotionally mature, and

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 5>I've realized it makes sense.

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:37.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, That's what I'm excited about selfishly, because one we

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 2>don't really remember the later seasons too. As an adult now,

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 2>a fully formed adult, going back and watching these things,

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:50.440
<v Speaker 2>and also from the perspective of knowing a little bit

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 2>more about how these shows are made and like what

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.680
<v Speaker 2>the writers were thinking as opposed to just thinking about

0:22:55.720 --> 0:23:00.119
<v Speaker 2>being in it. As Darren described described it as being

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 2>a a cat with a broken leg scooching across a

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:08.200
<v Speaker 2>freeway trying not to get hit by a car. That's

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>how he's described being.

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.919
<v Speaker 3>The Lesson so eloquently.

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 2>I always what it would be like to be on

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 2>a show that was just you know, like I was like, oh,

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 2>so pretty good.

0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a good one.

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I take that.

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Tell us about your podcast and how long you

0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>guys have been doing it, for what the genesis was, when,

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:37.160
<v Speaker 1>where where did this concept come from?

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 2>And the best name for a podcast?

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Gleik of the Week, it's right there. For we

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 4>started this podcast. So Andrew works in podcasting.

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 5>He has some rich experience in the podcasting world, and

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 5>he's shared stories about it with me, and I think

0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:00.440
<v Speaker 5>that I think I would love to do a talk

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.120
<v Speaker 5>or write an m L A format work cited paper.

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 2>About how I can't go back.

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:16.160
<v Speaker 5>The podcasting world like imploded with COVID nineteen and the pandemic,

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:22.399
<v Speaker 5>And because that was where our podcast started was we

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:26.120
<v Speaker 5>had the time, and Andrew and I would talk every

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 5>single night and end up talking about Glee.

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 4>So we were like, why don't we turn this into

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 4>a podcast? Why don't we record this? We're hilarious.

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 5>People need to hear us, which I think is how

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 5>most podcasters.

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely, I think they want.

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 4>So I I was like, Andrew, I really want to

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:54.040
<v Speaker 4>do this with you.

0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 5>And Andrew thought about it for a while, and you

0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:59.160
<v Speaker 5>wanted to work on like a passion project.

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, because like I mean, like like all the Glee

0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 3>podcasts that we're familiar with at least are like episode recaps.

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I want to. I love that. Obviously

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.880
<v Speaker 3>you're bringing something like a personal like you were there,

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 3>You're able to talk about it like all the rest

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 3>of us. We weren't there, And so I'm like, I

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 3>want to like have a new conversation about this show

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:26.199
<v Speaker 3>that would be fresh and exciting and so and not

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 3>be like, Hey, in the pilot, wasn't it so hilarious

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 3>that you said this thing?

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 3>And so I was like, how about like a bracket

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:41.119
<v Speaker 3>sort of I guess structure where we just go through

0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 3>six songs every single week. We bring someone on and

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 3>we watch two songs and we decide which is better,

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 3>and we just keep on going until we figure out

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 3>what song is the best. It's very scientific. Yeah, to

0:25:56.840 --> 0:26:01.080
<v Speaker 3>watch musical numbers is the best? The best thing that's

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 3>a delay, you know, some of those stories that you

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:07.399
<v Speaker 3>can get bogged down in story all day, right, Yeah, exactly,

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 3>It's so great.

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 5>And explain like the first year. We've been doing this

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 5>for two and a half years. Now, our episode with

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:17.399
<v Speaker 5>you will be the last episode of round one.

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.160
<v Speaker 4>So we've officially watched all.

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:23.200
<v Speaker 5>Six hundred and sixty six songs that fit a certain criteria.

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:28.399
<v Speaker 3>The criteria I need to explain again scientific. The criteria

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.160
<v Speaker 3>is that it was performed on a hit Fox show Glee,

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:36.880
<v Speaker 3>that it was released on iTunes, and it was actually

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 3>it was like in an episode, so like I want

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 3>you back, like Santa Baby wasn't actually in an episode.

0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Tina's Tonight unfortunately is not part of the glacket. Wasn't

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 3>on iTunes however. Also, you know what they in the

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:55.719
<v Speaker 3>top the top two, they would win time for first.

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:02.160
<v Speaker 5>We're about to have watched all six hundred and sixty

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 5>six songs, and in the.

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 4>First year of doing this, kind of.

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 5>Explaining numbers, explaining it to the people that have come

0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 5>on to our podcast has been kind of fun to

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.160
<v Speaker 5>explain the gist of what we're doing.

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 4>We've had I think two guests so far.

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 5>I think Nicki Blonski and Ali Stroker both come on

0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 5>and they're like, so, you want me.

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 4>To sing the songs?

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:29.719
<v Speaker 1>No stop?

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.360
<v Speaker 5>And I'm like, we would be happy to, that would

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 5>be absolutely but that's.

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Not what we're asking.

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:37.879
<v Speaker 5>You can give it to us, we will take it.

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 5>But it's been it's been really great. And we've had

0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 5>one hundred and eleven unique guests.

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 3>We have not exactly that's what you are.

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 4>We haven't repeated a guest so.

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Far, and wow, wow, yeah.

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 4>It's great.

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>And what has the experience been like for you guys

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.120
<v Speaker 1>with the show and with the podcast.

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 3>It's the best part of my week, like sitting down

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:03.439
<v Speaker 3>in like recording, like honestly like start, Like when we

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 3>first started, like I at least was like so anxious,

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 3>I was so nervous. I was putting so much work

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 3>into this. I was like, I need it to be perfect.

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:15.159
<v Speaker 3>And I feel as though as the two and a

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:19.440
<v Speaker 3>half years have went by, like I'm becoming more comfortable.

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 3>And because it's not easy, I think that like like

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 3>what we do as podcast hosts, Like I mean, like

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 3>we're not saving lives, but it's like also like it's

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 3>a weird muscle to be like using also so yeah,

0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 3>and so it's been super fun.

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 2>What do you think.

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:38.840
<v Speaker 5>It's it's been amazing. I think we've met so many

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 5>amazing people. I mean, I named Drop Nikki Blonski. We've

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:44.960
<v Speaker 5>had like eleven people that were on.

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:49.160
<v Speaker 4>The Glee project. Oh wow, are talking.

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 5>To them about that experience and getting it from all facets.

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.080
<v Speaker 5>So we've had people that were on the show like

0:28:56.440 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 5>both of you, but we had Noah Guthrie, had Michael.

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah God, yeah, absolutely, I mean the best male singer ever,

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 2>ugly incredible.

0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 4>Take me to church.

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm there.

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm there. Uh. We had members of the band,

0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 3>we have John Locke and.

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 5>Most recently we've had on a lot of When we started,

0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:33.800
<v Speaker 5>we were kind of building our platform, building what we do,

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 5>building a group of people.

0:29:35.280 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a slog. It takes a lot of time to

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 2>build that, and it feels like you're not getting anything

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>back a lot of the time.

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Right, I was like, we got five listens today.

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, But now that we have a certain following, we

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:53.719
<v Speaker 5>have people that are just as involved and as invested

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.520
<v Speaker 5>in the blacket as we are.

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 4>And so we've interviewed them. They come on.

0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 5>And they tell us, they're like, you were wrong for

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 5>so emotional versus Spider, you.

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 4>Were wrong for them.

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 5>They get as heated, I think as how they felt

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 5>about Glee as I feel about you.

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:16.400
<v Speaker 2>You can get a taste of what it's like to

0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 2>be on the receiving end of all the opinions. Yes,

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the passion if you will.

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Told to do so.

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 2>You think we have any control over this, you need

0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 3>Wait, speaking of the concert, I need to let you know, Jenna,

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 3>that I was distraught when I went to the three

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 3>D concert movie in theaters and surprisingly didn't see dog

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Days Are Over as part of the theatrical experience. And

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 3>I just want to share with you that.

0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 2>A grievances. This is good.

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I haven't talked about this on the podcast yet, but no,

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually didn't know it was going to be cut

0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 1>from the movie so much. The premiere it played and

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it skipped over that song, and I was I had

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>brought like all my people and I was like, uh,

0:32:57.720 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 1>there's my one song.

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Were cut from like what like an eighty eight minute

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 3>long movie, Like it's it had the time.

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 1>There was some it did have the time for it. Unfortunately,

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the filming of the tour was so crazy, you guys.

0:33:13.520 --> 0:33:16.360
<v Speaker 1>We were doing it in between soundcheck and actual aur

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>real performances of the tour. They'd throw us on stage

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 1>for a number and we were in Jersey when we

0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:24.479
<v Speaker 1>were doing dog Days and everybody was so tired. I mean,

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>we were so tired, and they're like, go do dog

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Days now. We were like okay, So there's a camera

0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 1>coming on stage right now. We have to do dog

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 1>days before and then people just started walking, like literally

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 1>walking off stage, and so we didn't get enough footage

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:41.640
<v Speaker 1>for it, and so they couldn't well what they felt

0:33:41.680 --> 0:33:43.600
<v Speaker 1>like is enough footage. But then you see it and

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:46.120
<v Speaker 1>they had it in the extras and it was fine.

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was fine. So yeah, but nobody told me,

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>which was like kind of upsetting. And then if you

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 1>look at the Glee poster, the three D poster, they also.

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Forgot which.

0:33:56.960 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Right behind her.

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Amber is not on it.

0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you are. It's for the Ladder, right,

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like the Ladder ones, right, Yeah, I know, they

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>just don't.

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 2>It was like if you are a person of color,

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:13.880
<v Speaker 2>you cannot make up this post.

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 2>That was it was. It was in the middle of tour.

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 2>We were all tired, and the tour was a whole

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 2>separate issue for all of this.

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Is Amber really not on it either?

0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's missing several people.

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to go look later.

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:30.799
<v Speaker 2>And they just like, you don't mess with our friend,

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:34.440
<v Speaker 2>and like you cut Amber and generous number and it

0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 2>was one of our favorite numbers. Performing and.

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, furious, it's my only self.

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:44.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I was there in Minneapolis and I was screaming

0:34:45.280 --> 0:34:45.719
<v Speaker 5>real good.

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I had one of my childhood friends in the crowd

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:53.000
<v Speaker 2>in Minneapolis and he worked for like an indie radio station,

0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:55.640
<v Speaker 2>and I texted him, was like, Hey, I'm going to

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 2>be in town. This is probably your idea of a

0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:03.840
<v Speaker 2>nightmare coming to this like glorified cover band pop song concert.

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 2>But I have free tickets every show, and like, do

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:12.279
<v Speaker 2>you want them? And at that point when you gave

0:35:12.280 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 2>someone free tickets, they put them up in the first

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 2>section of the seats, not on the floor, but the

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 2>first section up and I look out into the crowd

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:23.719
<v Speaker 2>and I see my friend front center, second or third row,

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:28.200
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, oh, no, he must be miserable.

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I did tell him to get insanely drunk. And so

0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:34.319
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago I was with him and

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 2>somehow it came up and he's like, did you ever

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.919
<v Speaker 2>actually dance like get out of your wheelchair on the show.

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I was like, John, I did that in front of

0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you and concert. Yeah. He's like what, I go yes,

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:48.719
<v Speaker 2>And then I started to put it together. I was like, well,

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:50.200
<v Speaker 2>we also did this song this songs like I don't

0:35:50.200 --> 0:35:54.359
<v Speaker 2>remember any of that. He had blacked out before the

0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:58.000
<v Speaker 2>encore and didn't remember. Yeah, I was like, good for you.

0:35:58.000 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>You know that's maybe everyone was doing it and that's

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:02.120
<v Speaker 2>why the crowd was so.

0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:06.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know what, I hope not because like is

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:09.600

<v Speaker 3>And this is during the performance. It really adds the ambiance.

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Because I was there when they filmed it. Oh That's

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:45.440

<v Speaker 1>I couldn't tell you.

0:37:59.880 --> 0:38:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to look this up.

0:38:01.280 --> 0:38:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't tell you. I remember the outfit. I remember

0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things by like either the location we

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:10.920
<v Speaker 1>were at or my costume. And so now I'm like, okay,

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:13.400
<v Speaker 1>this is semi familiar. But we did so many prompts

0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 1>they all like, you know, they meshed together. But yeah, okay,

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:19.800
<v Speaker 1>now I remember this. We have a lot of photos

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:23.480
<v Speaker 1>from this problem. That's where everybody dressed up. Okay, is

0:38:23.520 --> 0:38:29.960
<v Speaker 1>it that one? I couldn't say, Okay, what Andrew? What

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:30.400
<v Speaker 1>about you?

0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:34.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh gosh, I have a variety of I could just

0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 3>go on and on, but like, top of mind, I

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:42.960
<v Speaker 3>feel pretty, I'm pretty iconic, so good. A rumor has

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:49.319
<v Speaker 3>someone like yes, and then like and I feels landslide.

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:51.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean you can't go well.

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Ah, that's like those are all solid, solid choices.

0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:59.120
<v Speaker 3>We need to We need to decide what our collective

0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 3>opinion the best song.

0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:03.160
<v Speaker 4>On Glee at the end of the day.

0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Some middle ground somewhere, some compromise. Do you judge these

0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:13.320
<v Speaker 2>off of just the performance alone? Like what is actually

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 2>or is it the version of the song or is

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:17.879
<v Speaker 2>it how it works in the storyline or all those

0:39:17.880 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 2>things considered.

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:23.040
<v Speaker 5>All of it vibe vibe vibes.

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:27.879
<v Speaker 3>I respect that we've we've like not moved songs through

0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:32.399
<v Speaker 3>because of bad plan outfits. We have not put through

0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 3>songs because Shelby A. Dina Benzelle is in it and

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:42.320
<v Speaker 3>she is the true villain of Glee. It just really depends.

0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, It's like whatever you say goes.

0:39:47.280 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 2>This is okay, this is so great though, sorry, I

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:56.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want to go I have more questions because we

0:39:56.480 --> 0:40:00.239
<v Speaker 2>were always so insulated. And when we have, you know,

0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 2>interactions with people who watch the show, it's usually high,

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, it's so nice to meet you. Can

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:06.879
<v Speaker 2>we take a picture. And that's basically the extent of it.

0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.640
<v Speaker 2>And so hearing the real opinions that are not on

0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Tumblr or Twitter is very.

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Fascinating, Like, for example, run Joey Run. It's it's a

0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:21.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a big thing for people, and I don't think

0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:26.200
<v Speaker 1>either of us realized what an iconic number that was

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:26.720
<v Speaker 1>for people.

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:30.120
<v Speaker 3>It's age like fine wine truly really, Oh.

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:33.960
<v Speaker 4>The camp that is look camp in its eyes.

0:40:34.800 --> 0:40:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Borne, run Joey, run to the met.

0:40:39.800 --> 0:40:41.320
<v Speaker 4>Exactly. I wish they would.

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:46.080
<v Speaker 2>If you could just like sum up in ten seconds.

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Why Adena is the true villain of Glee? I just

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:53.960
<v Speaker 2>like to hear it. Yeah a good time.

0:40:54.600 --> 0:41:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Shell Oh gosh, Shelby is just like she well, I

0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:05.360
<v Speaker 3>mean the Puck storyline in season three. Obviously you haven't

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:07.799
<v Speaker 3>you haven't gotten there yet. I don't know if you

0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 3>recall the extent of how terrible it is that she

0:41:13.120 --> 0:41:17.000
<v Speaker 3>does fully have like a pretty consistent relationship with We

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:19.759
<v Speaker 3>are consistently told that he's eighteen. But that does not

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:24.160
<v Speaker 3>justify anything. But I feel like you can talk more

0:41:24.200 --> 0:41:26.759
<v Speaker 3>to the Rachel plot in season one and how she

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:27.480
<v Speaker 3>messed up that.

0:41:28.040 --> 0:41:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she.

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 5>Uses Jesse as a ploy to get Rachel to contact her.

0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:38.680
<v Speaker 5>She's like, oh, I'm ready to have this relationship with

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:41.799
<v Speaker 5>my daughter. Rachel is like, I have a mom, Like

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:44.480
<v Speaker 5>this is insane. I absolutely I want to have a

0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:48.560
<v Speaker 5>connection with you. And then within the episode they meet

0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 5>and then by the end Shelby's like, you know what,

0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 5>I met you and actually I'm good.

0:41:55.640 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't need a daughter.

0:41:57.120 --> 0:41:58.160
<v Speaker 4>I actually don't need.

0:41:58.000 --> 0:41:58.839
<v Speaker 2>A daughter back.

0:41:59.360 --> 0:42:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, this makes I would have a new daughter.

0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly, Actually.

0:42:05.320 --> 0:42:07.320
<v Speaker 4>I want again.

0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. When we were watching that, it's like, I'm not

0:42:10.719 --> 0:42:14.720
<v Speaker 2>a trauma. She is so quickly instilling into this young mind,

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:15.359
<v Speaker 2>just like.

0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, okay, okay, no, that's fair.

0:42:20.360 --> 0:42:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I We're going to bring it up and get through

0:42:23.239 --> 0:42:26.200
<v Speaker 2>it in one Episode's.

0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Hilarious if there was no Shelby, Like I think it's

0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I think Shelby is a hilarious character that she comes in.

0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:33.839
<v Speaker 3>I feel like every time she appears, like the kill

0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Bill sirons should go off, you know, like she trouble

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 3>we know that she's gonna like mess something up.

0:42:40.680 --> 0:42:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so wow, your first round of the bracket comes

0:42:46.320 --> 0:42:50.960
<v Speaker 2>to a close. What are the things you've maybe learned

0:42:51.680 --> 0:42:53.600
<v Speaker 2>or looking forward to going forward.

0:42:54.600 --> 0:43:00.080
<v Speaker 5>I think I've personally, I've learned just what time and

0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:03.239
<v Speaker 5>energy that podcasting takes. And I think going into the

0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:05.799
<v Speaker 5>second round, we've altered a bunch of different things to

0:43:05.920 --> 0:43:08.520
<v Speaker 5>make it a little bit more like.

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Easier, not I don't want to say easier, but easier

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:13.920
<v Speaker 4>for us to do.

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:18.960
<v Speaker 5>And now we've figured out what content content works, what

0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:21.319
<v Speaker 5>content doesn't. Ever, after two and a half years, we're

0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 5>still constantly growing and developing, but I'm learning. The biggest

0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 5>thing I've learned is that people will get mad and

0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 5>the decisions.

0:43:30.920 --> 0:43:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Are only going to get harder, and you're asking for it.

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm honestly, I.

0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:39.840
<v Speaker 5>Tell Andrew like we have set ourselves up for failure

0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:44.360
<v Speaker 5>because I base this podcast on opinions that people are.

0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:45.640
<v Speaker 4>Not going to agree with.

0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:47.440
<v Speaker 1>That's right, but that's right.

0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:49.520
<v Speaker 2>If they have opinions, they can start their own podcast.

0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:50.680
<v Speaker 4>Except that's what we say.

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:54.800
<v Speaker 1>We're like, start your own blocket, keep on tucking.

0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I've checked.

0:43:55.640 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 3>Not to sound like I don't know, but like no

0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:04.760
<v Speaker 3>one has else you won't Yeah, no, exactly.

0:44:05.600 --> 0:44:08.160
<v Speaker 2>The ones with the microphones win exactly.

0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:10.439
<v Speaker 5>You don't know what it's like until you are in

0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:15.160
<v Speaker 5>the zoom call and you have fighter and so emotional

0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 5>playing and you have to make that decision.

0:44:18.840 --> 0:44:24.400
<v Speaker 1>People like the stakes are high, but also the Greeks.

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:27.399
<v Speaker 4>Are like, why didn't you vote this through? And it's

0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:28.480
<v Speaker 4>like the song didn't die.

0:44:28.840 --> 0:44:32.240
<v Speaker 1>You can still could still be your favorite.

0:44:32.320 --> 0:44:34.080
<v Speaker 4>It can still be your favorite, and I love that

0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:34.680
<v Speaker 4>for you.

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:40.240
<v Speaker 3>It's all in fun, it's okay, amazing.

0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, we are so grateful that you guys keep Lee

0:44:43.920 --> 0:44:46.319
<v Speaker 1>in your lives, and we're so grateful for you know,

0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:50.920
<v Speaker 1>fans and supporters like you. We literally like we see

0:44:50.960 --> 0:44:53.040
<v Speaker 1>this all the time, but we wouldn't be where we are,

0:44:53.520 --> 0:44:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the show wouldn't be where we are without you guys.

0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:59.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's just really cool to see Glee still bringing

0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:02.680
<v Speaker 1>friend and people together. So thank you guys so much

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:04.360

<v Speaker 1>chat with us. And you guys everybody listening, go check

0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.319

<v Speaker 1>Nice be nice.

0:45:18.719 --> 0:45:20.959

<v Speaker 1>Aren't they the sweetest little nuggets.

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to stop. I feel I know you

0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:46.640
<v Speaker 2>are ready to keep going. We turned into the fans.

0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Their structure is so cool and it's so fun and

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:52.439
<v Speaker 1>I could do that all day as well.

0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. I also love Sash. Hate the chaos of how

0:45:56.880 --> 0:45:58.799
<v Speaker 2>some of the songs are picked at random to be

0:45:58.800 --> 0:45:59.839
<v Speaker 2>pitted up against each other.

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It feels a lot like a lot of pressure.

0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and two songs that couldn't be further away from

0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 2>one another in style, vibe, tone. Yeah, yes, but that's great.

0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, go listen to the podcast. Seriously, it's wonderful.

0:46:15.000 --> 0:46:18.719
<v Speaker 2>You obviously you know now that they're wonderful. Thank you
