1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,399
Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 2: And Kevin An iHeartRadio podcast.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to you, and that's what you really missed Podcasts

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Season five, episode eight. Oh, the previously unaired Christmas.

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe I should have stayed unhaired.

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: That was their excuse. So last time it was gas

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: and this time it's it's literally it wasn't great, It

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough to air, but we're gonna air it

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: anyway now. So just like prefacing basically in this metal

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: way of being like it was. It was crazy. I

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: have a lot of memories from this.

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: You were all over this episode, Jenna.

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: I was. I don't think I realized how much I

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: was in this episode though.

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: You made me laugh out loud several times. I did

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: all by myself and that's great.

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: So this episode originally aired December fifth, twenty thirteen. The

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: number one song in the country was Royals by.

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Lord, number one movie Hunger Games Catching Fire.

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: And in Glee News. On December third, Glee the Music

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: That Christmas Album, Volume four was released, featuring six bestive

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: tracks from episode eight of the season. So Wendy Stansler

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 2: was back directing.

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: And God bless her for this because I I this

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: episode is very vivid in my memory. I guess it

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: does make sense because I wasn't a lot of it

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and having Wendy there made it better. I remember, I

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: loved Wendy. I loved working with her. I thought she

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: always did a really great job with what she had

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: to work with, and sometimes it was a little funky,

32
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: as this episode is a little funky. Uh, I thought

33
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: she did a great job. So there's a lot of

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: songs to a lot of music and a lot quite

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: a few Well, no, that's not true Mary's Little Boy Child,

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: but was the one that I was just like, what's

37
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: the song? I never heard it before. I have zero

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: recollection of recording a lot of these songs, but I

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: sang on a lot of these songs. Let's start with here,

40
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Comatanta Claus performed by Kurt Rachel and Santana.

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: Rocking around the Christmas Tree by the New Directions and.

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: Will Mary's Little Boy Child, Marley, Tina and Unique.

43
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: This is still the only version of the song I've

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: ever heard. The Chipmunk song Christmas Don't Be Late by

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: Kurt Rachel and Santana Love Child.

46
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: It was performed by the New directions with the Unique

47
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: and Marlee and Tina.

48
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: And Wayna Manger performed by Kurt Rachel Santana and the

49
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: New directions. So this is the first of two episodes

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: that takes place in the past, the other being two

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: thousand and nine, which is next season.

52
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: This is the first Christmas episode where the title card

53
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: doesn't change.

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: Okay, They're feeling a little less inspired. This is the

55
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: first and only Christmas episode in which Kurt and Blaine

56
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: do not sing a duet.

57
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Well, they were broken up in this time period. This

58
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: is the last holiday themed episode of the series.

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 2: During the airing of this episode using the appshzam would

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: give you a free song whena Manger from the Christmas album.

61
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: In the Australian airing of this episode, the part We're

62
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Santwna tells a child that an iPad would be better

63
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: because he can't watch porn on a laptop that was

64
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: cut Puritans.

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: In the opening, Sue Hangs is stalking loaded with coal

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: with the name Merit Weave were written on it, an

67
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: allusion to the fact that Weaver bat Jane Lynch for

68
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: a supporting actress and a comedy at the twenty thirteen

69
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: Emmy Awards. That's funny, It's very good.

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: This episode features the most songs performed in a full

71
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: single episode, with three rock around the Christmas Tree, the

72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Chipmunks song Don't Be Late and Away in a Manger.

73
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: Wow, that's surprising. This episode marks the last time Marley

74
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: sings in the series What I don't like that?

75
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: That's weird. Even though this episode was totally unaired from

76
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Christmas last season and takes place in Christmas twenty twelve,

77
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: several characters had their season five hairstyles, like Sam with

78
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: his long hair.

79
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was my first thing. I'm like, uh, you

80
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: go wait a second. Yeah, yeah, it's only so much

81
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: you can do. No explanation about Britney's fins, sugars, or

82
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: Joe's absences are made in this episode.

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: Either The choir room was given to Suit for Cheerios

84
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: rehearsals after losing sectionals. However, the new directions are still

85
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: using it in this episode.

86
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: So that Santana's says that Brittany Dumpter when it actually

87
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: was Santana who broke up with her. Oh yeah, So

88
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: in this episode, Sue Sylvester introduces the episode as a

89
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: Christmas special that Fox did not allow to air from

90
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: last year. You know. This is TV's Jane Lynch speaking

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: the members of New Directions auditioned for roles in McKinley's

92
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: living Nativity scene. Meanwhile, New York Rachel Curt and Santana

93
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: work as Santa Elves at the mall. So this episode

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: starts off like I said, as America's Jane Lynch introduces

95
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: the audience to the show and sets up this whole

96
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: premise that Fox said this episode was too controversial to air.

97
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: I like that.

98
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: I was down for that too, I will say though,

99
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: and I don't know if people agree with me or not,

100
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: but I sometimes have a hard time with holiday episodes

101
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: in general when they don't they're not moving the plot

102
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: forward because it just feels like a waste of time, agreed,

103
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 2: And this really feels like that because you're now going

104
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: back a full year and like, obviously we didn't need

105
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: it for plot because we're a year on from then.

106
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: Filler episode is what we call this.

107
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I was just like, what's the point.

108
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: I know, but I don't know in theory though, like

109
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: Jane standing there talking to America as Jane trusted to

110
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: Sue being like, here's the deal, and here's this episode.

111
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: I don't ever feel like our Christmas, this episode has

112
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: ever really moved the plot. Correct me if I'm wrong,

113
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: somebo of me right in and tell me. But I

114
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: just don't feel like those are the ones that generally

115
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: are moving the plot in anyway.

116
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't as much. They're more of a sort

117
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: of holiday. Yeah that's a special thing.

118
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, My expectations for this block of episodes is

119
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: quite low. And also we're giving everybody grace because of

120
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: what happened that sad I did. It wasn't as wild.

121
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean there were moments, for sure, it wasn't as

122
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: wild as I thought it would be. And there were funny,

123
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: funny moments that really took me. So I was okay

124
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: with it. Could I have done about this episode? Sure?

125
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: But do I hate it?

126
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? It's it's my expectations were low. It's not as

127
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: bad as I thought it would be. I don't know.

128
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: When we started doing this podcast, a big part of

129
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: the conversation was about things that probably didn't age well, right, right,

130
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: And I feel like it actually hasn't been that bad,

131
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: not as bad as I thought it would have been

132
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: at all. Like, it's sure there's a line every now

133
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: and then that was like what I felt like, there

134
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: was quite a bit in this episode fair enough the

135
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: first time, like a lot.

136
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: And then my preface said like this, when we went

137
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: into shooting this episode, like you know, a lot of

138
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: the time, like the things that we were saying back

139
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine to fifteen, I don't think

140
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: we realized were like slightly offensive, but like weren't cancible

141
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: actions at the point at that point, like now going

142
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: or when we were going into shooting this episode, we

143
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: knew that it was very offensive. Like I felt, I

144
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: was like, wow, this is an offensive episode, and I'm

145
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: most slightly concerned.

146
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: Yes, that's correct, And I think that was they were

147
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: leaning into the premise of this was so bad that

148
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: we weren't going to air it, and so like you

149
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: can really go for it, and it's like not really right, right?

150
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: Is it funny? Though?

151
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: Right?

152
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: I don't know.

153
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: So in New York, Santenna decides to visit and it

154
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: opens with Santana giving Kurt Christmas presents and Rachel comes

155
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: in and she says that she has a job for everybody,

156
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: and she knows that obviously this could kill their careers.

157
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: But she's actually done the research, and so they're all

158
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: going to be Christmas elves in the mall. Now, when

159
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: I picture Christmas Elves in the mall, I could picture

160
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: a movie like Christmas Story or Elf. These Christmas Elves

161
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: in the mall. I don't know where their clothes went,

162
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: where did their costumes go? Just I really want to know.

163
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: Not that they didn't look great, but I was like,

164
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: what are we doing for these children?

165
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 2: Well, that's just the start.

166
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: Who were we dressing for?

167
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: Like also the idea of doing I don't know, the

168
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: stretch of Oh, it's a way for us to get

169
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: seen by all the people need to get seen by

170
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: working at this mall.

171
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: In the middle of a bunch of moms and dads. Yeah, Glendale, right,

172
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: it was. It was a little kooki And then Santa

173
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: doesn't show up, so they have to sing, they have

174
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: to keep the the kids entertained, and so they do.

175
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: Hear comes Santa Claus.

176
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: Well, Santa Claus has it has a little drinking problem, right,

177
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: you know.

178
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: Which I feel like is a thing on like many

179
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: shows and movies. Yes it is, but it's a pretty

180
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: miserable job. It is a pretty miserable job. I'm not

181
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna lie. We've taken them to meet Santa twice. Now.

182
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: First year she was way too young to even know

183
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: what was happening, so it was fine. It's a very

184
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: cute photo. Last year she cried like screen bloody murdering.

185
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: The photo is proof of that. Yeah, this year, I

186
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: decided to skip it all together because I just don't

187
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: want to put people through that or myself. Yeah, it

188
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: is a pretty miserable, thankless job. Although some kids get

189
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: dry out of it, I guess.

190
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just seems a little wild. But they are

191
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: very funny and they have a they do a great

192
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: musical number.

193
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good musical number. I don't know that

194
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: it's kid appropriate completely either.

195
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: None of what is happening at this mall is kid appropriate.

196
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: I think that's just the blanket over all of this

197
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: is that it's not mildly inappropriate for children. I also

198
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: don't know how Nya when she becomes missus Claus, I

199
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: can't says those things to I don't know. I don't

200
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: really don't. I don't know, and it was hard to watch.

201
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: I know.

202
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to talk about this whole

203
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: section because it felt so crazy to me, It.

204
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: Is crazy, and I think if you had asked anybody why,

205
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: it's like this is supposed to be explicit and supposed

206
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: to be unairable, but we're airing it.

207
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: But it's also like these are still the same characters.

208
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, exactly, We're just not like.

209
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: And it felt like, I know Santana says some crazy shit,

210
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: but like, would she say that to that many children?

211
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: No? No, a full departure. Yeah, agreed.

212
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: Now the part I thought was funny.

213
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: Oh what was the funny part for you?

214
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: This absurd? It almost felt like a fever dream. This

215
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: episode felt like a fever dream to me.

216
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: It was.

217
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: But when shirtless Santa Claus comes down and is clearly

218
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: up to no good, Cody yeah, and goes back to

219
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: their house, they're all partying, they're all getting drunk, Kurt

220
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: and Cody are hooking up, and then they wake up

221
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: and are robbed.

222
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: And kurtis tied up like a reindeer. Yeah I was.

223
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: I thought all of that was funny.

224
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Until then, Oh okay, I see, because he's like, wait,

225
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: Santana and Rachel waking up on the bed with the

226
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: tinsel around their head. It was very funny.

227
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. Like I liked all the love stuff

228
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: except Kurt being tied up, Like I'm like, I think

229
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: that's a salt it is.

230
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: But also that they were robbed too, I didn't mind

231
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: that had a part of it. Yeah, I didn't mind

232
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: that part of it. I thought it was fine.

233
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: And like how that never happens that they're all after

234
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: like the same boy ish and like they have this

235
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: random stranger and they're partying, and it's like those things

236
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: actually do sort of happen, and we haven't seen that

237
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 2: on this show. And they're in New York. It's their

238
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: first Christmas there theoretically, and like, yeah, let's see them

239
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: be a little crazy, sure, sure, but like not around children.

240
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: No. They also performed the Chipmunk song during that Oh

241
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: Lord little whole event, and it's like.

242
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: Just getting into the Chipmunk song with the helium what.

243
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: He pulls out that thing and I'm like, what is that? Also,

244
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: they that song is just God Plagues Me. It is

245
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: just one of those songs that my dad used to

246
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: have on the cassette tape with the Christmas you know,

247
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: the Christmas songs that you listen to during the season

248
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: and you'd always be like, just please fast forward to

249
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: this song.

250
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: I love that song, to be honest. God, Kevin, I

251
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: know you don't like Christmas music in general.

252
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: It's a lie. I'm I have performed my ways like

253
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: I listen, like I don't mind indoor plants anymore. I

254
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: don't mind Christmas music. I'm a changed woman. I'm a

255
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: mother now, okay, the joy of Christmas is different for

256
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: me now.

257
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: Fair see it through a child's eyes.

258
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Chimunk song is just please. It's like

259
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: baby shark Please.

260
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: But I was like, okay, I'll allow it because this

261
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: is crazy. This episode's crazy, and like we've done Turkey

262
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: Lurky in this loft, so you know, why not just

263
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: I know?

264
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? And also like the they did the Chimmunks, but

265
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: they used the original Chipmunks I think, and like they

266
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: pulled that because that wasn't really that was it.

267
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: I No, I think it was how because you record

268
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: it regularly.

269
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: And then you found it like the original. That's why

270
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that's pretty good. You know.

271
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: It's because it like I remember, like, yeah, when when

272
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: the movies were being made and they're asking like how

273
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: they all did that? They were talking. What happens when

274
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: you do those like weird affects to your voice. It

275
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: takes out like the individual character, so it does end

276
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: up sounding robotic, and this very similar. They all sound

277
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: the same.

278
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: Got it? Okay, fair enough, that's New York. It's wildly inappropriate.

279
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: It's very strange. It's it's exactly what I They.

280
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: Were doing Bad Santa. They were like, yeah, kids, yeah,

281
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: they were fully doing Bad Santa.

282
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: Over it. McKinley. There's a whole other thing going on.

283
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: So uh. Tina is determined to for the Glee Club

284
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: to win the Christmas tree decorating contest this year, the

285
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: theme being green. Sue, of course, is the judge, which

286
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: makes it even harder. But Tina really wants to win this.

287
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: She thinks it's going to get her all the things

288
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: that she wants in life.

289
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: See, this is I don't want to keep talking about

290
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: this episode. It's okay, but like it felt like I

291
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: love a Tina outburst, right sure, but this sort of

292
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: felt like, oh, we're just gonna give Tina an outburst here,

293
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: and we're going to give her one there.

294
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: Like it didn't feel justified her, Like it felt like

295
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: a little worst. Yes, yeah, I can agree with.

296
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: You know, I love a Tina Olberst. No, I know,

297
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: granted these did make me laugh.

298
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just a little crazy though, a little

299
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: extra out of nowhere. Agreed, a little far fetched. I

300
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: even felt like when I was shooting this, I was like, Okay,

301
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: does she really care about this stuff now? But fine,

302
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: they're going to decorate the tree either before walking on

303
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree.

304
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: I love a little montage everybody decorating. We see like

305
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Stoner Bread and his friends all have like a weed

306
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: leaf tree. We're doing a tree, very green, renewable, that's

307
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: sort of green, right, and Sue is assuming that, you know,

308
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 2: Glee Club's not going to win. Then there's some wild

309
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: hilarity with Becky and Tina and Sam. It's crazy, and

310
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: then Sue actually is like very reasonable this episode, Like

311
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 2: what is she's speaking of? Reformed? She's reformed. She seems

312
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 2: very like she was used to be the grinch and

313
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: now she's sort of giving everybody a chance.

314
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: The mild, mild version of herself. Yes, correct, Becky is crazy, though.

315
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: The lines that she has given to say with the

316
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: missiletoe are insane. I remember shooting that being like, oh

317
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: my God like they are letting her say this, like.

318
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: How is this going to be aired? Like? It felt like,

319
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: how is this.

320
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: Going to I want to lick those Asian tonsils. I'm

321
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: gonna make you French mean it because it's Christmas and

322
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: I'm loose.

323
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: I rewound it to heard that correctly?

324
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: Get in there.

325
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: I don't know. Moving on, So Glee Club wins the

326
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: Christmas competition Christmas Tree decorating Combination. The other thing that's

327
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: going on is the McKinley High Non Denominational Christmas Club

328
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: are tasked with putting on a live outdoor manger scene okay,

329
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: because the other one was defaced with swastikas and the like.

330
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 2: So Beaston already seemed to be casting the roles in

331
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: this as always along with Will towards the end.

332
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: And Kitty's not going to audition.

333
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 2: No, because Kitty knows that that role needs to be

334
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 2: pure and she's not of the caliber of the.

335
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: Sort she wants to be. Though she wants it, she

336
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: secretly wants it.

337
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: Austin walked in right like during that scene with Kitty

338
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: like having this like emotional moment, and he's like, what

339
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: is happening is Turkey lurky about to be performed. He's like, no,

340
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: but I get it. The vibes.

341
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, very similar, very similar.

342
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: Nope.

343
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: So the audition that we do see is Mary's boy Child.

344
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 2: Loved Mary's boy Child.

345
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: I was actually okay. So we learned that so fast

346
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: that Brooke was actually in the front of the stage.

347
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember shooting this. It was

348
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: like at night and Brooke came in and had to

349
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: stand in the front of the stage agent do with

350
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: the choreo for us because we didn't know it at

351
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: all and we didn't have any time to learn it.

352
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: So I think we learned it on the fly. We

353
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: also recorded this on the fly.

354
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: That makes sense. I giggled, and I don't need to

355
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: take offense to this.

356
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: I we looked insane.

357
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: I giggled at some of your dancing, but it was

358
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: your commitment. It was the look on your face. Yeah,

359
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: as you were like going squatting down with your shoulders

360
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 2: and elbows moving and just like this glaze over your face,

361
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: like yes, this is what I'm doing right now. Yeah,

362
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: very serious about it. And Jenna I had like a

363
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: full laugh attack for like thirty seconds. Yeah, and also

364
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 2: just all that. There's like one shot from below and

365
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: you look up and you can see how all like

366
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: the strings of beads that are this beautiful set are

367
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: hung from the very top of the stage all around

368
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: this volume. And this is an audition. This is an audition, folks,

369
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: and look at this set. The costumes cost the ridiculous.

370
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: It was a funny one to shoot because I hated

371
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: this song so much, like I hated I shot, hate

372
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: everything in this episode. I was so angry in everything

373
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: in this episode. But yet like watching it, I'm like,

374
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous and it's so funny to me, Like

375
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop laughing during Mary's boy Child. EI there

376
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: and I was like, I love it how And I

377
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: hated the number so much I didn't want to be there.

378
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: But I had fun doing it, Like I honestly had

379
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: fun doing it because the stakes were so low at

380
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: that point, right, like right, I didn't know it. I

381
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: didn't care.

382
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: Anything they were getting was a plus.

383
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: It was offensive. We knew this and Melissa and Alex

384
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: and I remember I remember us on stage acting like

385
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, when Melissa gets a little crazy and she's like, oh,

386
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: like that's while we were like the energy the whole number,

387
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: and it worked, so yeah, I think it did for

388
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: what it was. I'm glad that it gave people some laughter.

389
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: I literally I was like, this could just be the

390
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: whole episode.

391
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: I was laying there like tears in my eyes.

392
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 2: I was like, please, I'm like, I don't want this

393
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: number to end. It was so satisfying to watch.

394
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. So Marlee sees the cast list, everybody gets

395
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: cast in there in the living Manger and Kitty is

396
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: is there and Katy Marley is like, look, if you

397
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: really want this part, like we can talk to this sure,

398
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: it's not that serious, like you should have it. And

399
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: you could tell that Kitty is wanting this part but

400
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like she deserves it. And then Marlee kind

401
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: of relates it to everybody and the whole New Directions

402
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: has decided that they're going to stage this room for

403
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: for Kitty. Nobody can play this role except for her,

404
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: and we're gonna like do this very offensive number to

405
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: offend her to then get her to play this just

406
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: decide on her own that she's going to play this role. Right.

407
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: See, I did not remember this plot point at all.

408
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: Oh at all. I thought this number was done in

409
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: earnest and so because I fully this is where checked.

410
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm not proud if I behaved during this episode. This

411
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 2: was this was like my actual breaking point. And you know,

412
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: apologies to anybody on set to Wendy in particular shooting

413
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: that Nativity scene, my mustache was like causing some sort

414
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: of like allergic reaction and I was itchy and upset

415
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: and it was late at night. It's not proud, but

416
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: I remember when that number came up, I was like,

417
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 2: what are we doing? But w Now it's like, oh,

418
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: that's fine and context that makes sense.

419
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: I will say this was the Saturday that that scene

420
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: was also a Saturday. It was a Saturday morning. I'll

421
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: never forget it. We're like, why are we here? Poor Wendy.

422
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: That's what it felt like, You're here to do this?

423
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that dress was so scratchy that we were in

424
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: that I had full scabs underneath my arms after it.

425
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: I have this photo from it. I can't post because

426
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: it's just not appropriate. But I just remember shooting this

427
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: number being like, wow, this is really we've really hit

428
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: our bottom, like birthing the baby, running around with the baby,

429
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: and it was like you had to commit so hard

430
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: because it was so bad. That's what I felt like

431
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: in this number. I'm like, I have to commit to

432
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: this so hard because we know it's bad. It's supposed

433
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: to be bad. If I don't commit to this, it

434
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: actually will make it worse.

435
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: But that's the thing. I don't think it's supposed to

436
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: be bad. It's supposed to be controversial controversial, but but

437
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: I mean, like bad is good when it's funny. But

438
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: I didn't think this was good. It's you know, it's

439
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: like I'll lose a friend, but I won't lose the joke.

440
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

441
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: And this just felt like being like controversial for controversial.

442
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: Sake, right, And it was to get Kittie to do

443
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: this part to it. It was like no, sure, yeah, no,

444
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: I I agree. I was. I watched this with my

445
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: hand in front of my mouth all the time. I

446
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: will say the song is.

447
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 2: Good, the number actually is a good time, and I

448
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: love watching the three of you.

449
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's just but yeah, it's not right.

450
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: It's not right.

451
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: And then Kitty is like, Okay, we have to do

452
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: this to do this right. So I'm gonna play Virgin

453
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: Mary and we're like yay, and all's forgotten, right. I

454
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: was going on, that's it. No, it's literally it though,

455
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: and we're like, yay, it's actually crazy. So we do

456
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: a living manger. Kitty comes out, but we've asked Becky,

457
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: who's kind of lost it as well, to be the baby. Jesus,

458
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: there is nothing more offensive than this manger.

459
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: All of us are so wrong about doing this right.

460
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: We didn't want to be there for multiple reasons, but

461
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: the most glaring one was like, I don't think this

462
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: is right. And then she comes out, Lauren Potter comes

463
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 1: out with that thing on, and we were like, we

464
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: really have to do this, We really have to do

465
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: this now, we really have to do this.

466
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: Poor Wendy. Poor Wendy, because you're at the Helm, You're

467
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 2: tasked with getting this job done, of making this work,

468
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,359

00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: Did it just have to commit?

474
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: I mean imagine what that was like though, because we

475
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 2: just did what the fox say, right, and then we're

476

478
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: I know to watch these things back to back too,

479
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: but doing it, watching it is only forty four minutes.

480
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: Doing it is ten days.

481
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 2: This was yeah, Saturday, like a two and a half

482
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,040

487
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: are singing like mannekins in a window.

488
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:40,840

490
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: one tiny verse she had because God Blast America. She

491
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: that was my favorite part of the whole episode. Was

492
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: nice singing that tiny verse in the window.

493
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: I loved the window set up. I was like, oh,

494
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:00,520

00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: This episode is a weird recap. It's a weird episode.

499
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: The music itself. There were some moments, but all overall,

500
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this might be our lowest average of performances. Yeah,

501
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: this might be the one.

502
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: I think we're pretty good at be haters.

503
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, that's okay. I think this one

504
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: like it literally is asking for it.

505
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: You know, earned it.

506
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: It definitely earned the unaired portion of this title. Let's

507
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: grade them. Let's just grade them and get through this,

508
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: because I don't want to put these people through anything else.

Speaker 1: we're reading the song? Because love Child it's different. Like

519
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: if we're writing the song on its own, I'm giving

520
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,120

527
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: with these tarty takes for Auchiese and cringe moments because

528
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 2: whole episode there were so many lines.

529
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,080

00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,560

533
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: and then Santana saying all these insane things to children,

534
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: to like actual actual children, being like fat shaming, anti Semitic,

535
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: talking about porn, and then Kurt was sexually assaulted right that.

536
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:04,960
