Speaker 3: So Phoebe was always like Vibe and I did Spring

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: Awakening together prior to Glee, and she was always like

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: such a sound mind.

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: She was like one of the older.

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: Goals, which is funny because we're going she was like

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: twenty two, you know, but like elderly.

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 4: You know.

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: She was one of the older ones.

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: And she was one of the original cast members and

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 3: it's funny to think about it like that, but she

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: was like just a wonderful, wonderful energy.

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: In the theater all the time. And how fun was

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: it to have her on.

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: Set and we got to hang out with her. We

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: get into it. But like we had, all us who

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: were not in Spring Awakening met so much of the

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: Spring Awakening crew.

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like a second family.

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: Yes, fully, and so it was so nice to actually

28
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: have her be a part of the show finally, you know,

29
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: in season five, because she had been there. I think

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: we'd all hung out since season one.

31
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,040

Speaker 4: found out.

60
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 5: It was very last minute.

61
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 4: It was like my manager called me in a panic

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: at like five pm one day. I was like, there

63

64
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: and I was like, okay. Unfortunately I was already like

65
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: I was on my way to a concert, so I

66
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,120

00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, we're good.

68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 5: So I just flew there on.

69
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: This detoured on the way to a concert to go

70
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: to a tape.

71
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,400

00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, amazing.

73
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: Did you have like a callback or did you have

74
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: to or did they just book you?

75
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 5: They called me like three hours later, and you're coming.

76
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: To Hollywood, you kind of Hollywood, babe. Did you know

77
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: that it was going to be more than one episode?

78
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: I knew that was kind of the idea, but I

79
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: also knew that y'all were in a lot of blocks oil.

80
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: What was that like coming into that because it's like,

81
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: you booked this role that so many of your friends

82
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: like on the show that so many of your friends

83
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: are on, you also are sensitive to the fact that

84
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: we're all going through some crazy thing. Like what was

85
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: the vibe like when you got to said, do you remember?

86
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I really, like, from what I

87
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: can remember, yeah, it was. But I know it probably

88
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: still like feels like yesterday to you because it was

89
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: so traumatic.

90
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 5: I'm sure. Yeah.

91
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: I just remember feeling like I really felt admiration for

92
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: all of you because I had the sense that you

93
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 4: all were, i mean pushing through a lot, and you

94
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: all had a sense of like dark gallows humor about it.

95
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 5: I just yeah, I mean, you know kind of.

96
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Knew it's also all that.

97
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I'm sure, but you know, when you're a

98
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 4: guest star, you're like you're going into your You're going

99
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: into a machine that's already in full motion, so you

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 4: kind of have to just like be flexible and go

101
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: with the flow. So I just try I don't know,

102
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: I tried to be I think I was. I was

103
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: aware that y'all were going through You're.

104
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,760

Speaker 6: Like even though you didn't get to work with most

106
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 6: of us, but like you and Cord you were.

107
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,719

Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Yeah, I remember, I distinctly remember like hanging

119
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: out with you a lot, like one on set or

120
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: like at somebody set. I don't know, just like a dinner.

121
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 4: Husband reminded me that we ran into you at Elsambrero

122
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: one time, and yeah, I don't know.

123
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I just feel like, yeah.

124
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Like you knew a lot of it. Everybody knew a

125
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: lot of this bringing crew, right.

126
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like like Daniel would come visit.

127
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: Like Lily came visit, yes, right him, Yeah, she came

128
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: during the pilot ran but she really went to like

129
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: Disneyland with her and Chris and.

130
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: She just hung out with us. That's so funny. What

131
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: was it like playing Penny.

132
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: We could have had way more of Penny with Sam, but.

133
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: She's such a funny, like little character.

134
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just like, yeah, just fun and silly, and

135
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: you know, you don't have a lot of time to really, like,

136
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 4: you know, do a whole character study.

137
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 5: You have to show up and you know, do it.

138
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 4: But I really thought the writing was funny and accessible,

139
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: and I loved working with Ian. He was very like, uh,

140
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 4: open to my weird ideas. So it was Cord obviously,

141
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: So I just thought it was.

142
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: A good silly in the perfect group it.

143
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it kind of was.

144
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: It means the funny person to work with for the

145
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: first time.

146
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Oh really, how.

147
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: So he's just like a you know, we like to

148
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: call him like a golden retriever, Like he's like a

149
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: puppy who's like, I'll do anything. I love to make

150
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: people laugh. I just like to like be around people.

151
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: So it's just it's interesting to meet somebody like who

152
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: worked with him that closely right off the bat and

153
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: has to have this like chemistry, whereas like Cord, it

154
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 3: took a minute for me to warm up to Chord.

155
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: Really we have this thing where we're like Chord has

156
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: chemistry with everybody, like oh yeah immediately, and your scenes

157
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: together were like, oh, this is golden yeah, because both

158
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: of you the way your character is just so charming.

159
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: And also it is crazy that you did just have

160
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: to hop in because it does feel like a fully

161
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: thought out, full fledged character, Like it felt like, oh,

162
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: she knows exactly who this person is and it is

163
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: like embodying that with like her weird shit with like

164
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: just and I loved their dynamic because like Chord and

165
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: Sam are like weirdos, but because he's like pretty boy,

166
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: you don't necessarily think that. And I feel like your

167
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: guys dynamic like brought that out of him even more,

168
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: which is really nice to see. And like he is

169
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: so sweet and Sam is so sweet and you are

170
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: so Like this magical combination that happened on the way

171
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: to a concert of you auditioning for this and then

172
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: you just hopped in this role was sort of perfect. Yeah.

173
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:24,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

174
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: And I also like a thing that can happen with

175
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: the show is that if you lean in, and we've

176
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: talked about it before, like if you lean in too

177
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: much to the crazy then they can go to like

178
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: really off the rails, where like your balance of playing

179
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: like the eccentricities. I don't know the way you did it.

180
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this is so refreshing.

181
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: We haven't seen anything like this so much.

182
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 5: Wow, that's really nice. Thank you.

183
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: I didn't.

184
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 4: I was just kind of like, well, I guess I'll

185
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: just do my little thing, and all I have to

186
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: would say you're doing it wrong and I'll change it.

187
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 4: But because really, you know, that's the kind of that's

188
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 4: the life of a guest star.

189
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 5: You know, you just kind of shield.

190
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're at the whim of like this other machine

191
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: that's already just built.

192
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: That's fun.

193
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 5: I think that's fun and exciting.

194
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: You know.

195
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like a very good challenge. Like the

196
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: classes is like, okay, can I pick up can I

197
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: figure out what the tone is here?

198
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: To match it?

199
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: I will say it was a bummer that you didn't

200
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: get to sing on the show.

201
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: I know, I know she can sing.

202
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, what the heck?

203
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know.

204
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: I never really found out the answer.

205
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: Okay, did you have to sing in your audition?

206
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Yes?

207
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 5: I did.

208
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 4: Do you remember I do because well, I think I

209
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: knew it was a Beatles show. I think I was

210
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: trying to remember this, so I used to sing Yesterday

211
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: all the time, Okay, for auditions.

212
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 5: Can I tell you a funny story about this, please? Okay?

213
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: So I sang Yesterday because it's like I love the

214
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: Evacacidy version. If anyone hasn't heard the Evacacity version Yesterday,

215
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: go listen to it.

216
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 5: It's so beautiful.

217
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 4: So that's kind of like in my mind when I

218
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 4: sing it, it's kind of a go to. It fits

219
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: in my voice. It's easily accessible. I didn't have to

220
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: like warm up, you know what I mean. It was

221
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: so yeah, I was singing that forever. And then not

222
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: long after I think Glee, I auditioned for some I

223
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: actually don't want to.

224
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 5: Say what it was. I was justent for a Broadway

225
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 5: show and.

226
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 4: They asked for a pop frog song and I was like,

227
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: I'll just do that. It's easy.

228
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 5: I don't have to think about it, you know.

229
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 4: And I went in and I could tell him when

230
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: I sang it, and it was just like flat. It was

231
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 4: like the room was just like thanks for coming, you know.

232
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: And the director I happened to have worked with the

233
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: director before and I respect him very much, so I

234
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 4: felt a little iffy and he came out of the

235
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: room after me, and I was he was like, he

236
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: pulled me aside. He was like, Hey, just want to say,

237
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 4: just because I respect you and I think you're great,

238
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: you should never sing that song at an audition again.

239
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh okay.

240
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 5: He was like, it just doesn't He said, it just

241
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 5: doesn't serve you. Oh got it? Okay.

242
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 4: So it was like, really nice of him to give

243
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: me that constructive criticism.

244
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: But then I didn't immediately start drinking so.

245
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Bad, Like, so I nailed it. Then that was a

246
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: tough I did good.

247
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well, this worked for Glee.

248
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 6: So.

249
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 5: It was a tough. It was a tough growing moment

250
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 5: for me.

251
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is brutal.

252
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: The amount of times that I'm sure director thought that

253
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: and didn't come out of the room and tell me.

254
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 5: Tell me. I was like, yeah, you know.

255
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: Like I have to go more, and the amount of

256
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: auditions I've sung this on now.

257
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: Then let me move forward. Yes, my god, it's crazy.

258
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Where do you up to now, Phoebe? What's

259
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: going on in your life?

260
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 4: I mean I'm just I'm living on living in New York.

261
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: I got my husband, and I have a Jack Russell

262
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: who's merciful right now, or otherwise he'd be acting insane.

263
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: I don't know if you have experience with Jack Russell.

264
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: They're crazy, right, all them?

265
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, great dog.

266
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 4: But I do a lot of like I do a

267
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: lot of audiobook narration, which I'm really poor.

268
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: It's hard.

269
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 2: It is.

270
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: It is two audiobooks now, and it is like it's

271
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: another skill set that you have to like that and

272
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 3: take care of yourself and like look away from the page.

273
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: Yes, I actually bet you're really good at it, because

274
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: I feel like reading an audiobook successfully is like reading

275
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: music while you're it's like playing It's like playing music

276
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: and reading sheep.

277
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: Your brain is doing like multiple things at once, and

278
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: it can go like completely off the rails and like

279
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: I don't know your experience, like the producers you've worked with,

280
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: like in your ear while you're recording, but like sometimes

281
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: they're like take a breath, take a sip of water,

282
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: look away from the page, and then come back because

283
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: you starts to like play with the letters and the words.

284
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 4: Like yeah, yeah, you're right. It's a totally different skill set,

285
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: but it's really fun. Yeah, I do love mostly young adult.

286
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: Both of your voices are very soothing though, that.

287
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: The radio voice.

288
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 6: Yes.

289
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Also, you had a dog while we were in Spring Awakening.

290
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: That's right, that we loved very dearly.

291
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 5: God bless her.

292
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 4: And then your role on the show was named, right,

293
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: it was Kismet.

294
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: You were like, look at the page, I'm meant to

295
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 3: play this part.

296
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 5: Got that poor dog.

297
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: So sweet she was, but she's just you know, you

298
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 4: met her, you got to know her very well.

299
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 5: This is a dog that we never have survived.

300
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 6: Uh.

301
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: She's very sweet, but she very small.

302
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: Puffy, oh like tiny tiny.

303
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was really small, right, she was like four pounds.

304
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

305
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 4: And she had you know how babies have a fontanelle.

306
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 4: That's obviously you know, because you have this there's skull

307
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: plates come together. That never happened for poor Penny. Show

308
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: a soft spot right.

309
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: At Penny.

310
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 5: We got ten good years with her.

311
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, did you get her during the show?

312
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: I did, Jenna, I did, right.

313
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: I remember that you.

314
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: Snuck her into that dressing room because we were on

315
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 4: the fifth floor, because no one came up there because

316
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 4: it was only accessible by stairs, that's right, and.

317
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: Nobody and when I was off stage swing I got

318
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: to hang out with him and she was on stage.

319
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: It's cutey. Did you both meet on Spring Awakening?

320
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had started already, and obviously I came on.

321
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: God for you, Thank God for you. I was just

322
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: thinking the other day about how you were always like nice,

323
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: always the one to say something really funny, like you

324
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 4: were always making us laugh. We were always so god

325
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 4: damn dramatic, so I can I curse? Yeah, and we

326
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: were always going through some trauma.

327
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you guys had really been through it, not

328
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: unlike our show built You build a bond. Yeah, in

329
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: the process of creating something very magical, and that becomes

330
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: very public. And I mean, you guys were on like

331
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: billboards and on gap ads for like in Times Square,

332
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: and that's not normal for Broadway casts.

333
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: Like they were a.

334
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 6: Phenomenon, especially like all henomenon New Wish people like you're

335
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 6: not necessarily yeah, you're.

336
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: Young, it is, hormones are raging, fame is happening. And

337
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: then I pop in like halfway through that after the Tonys,

338
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: and there they've already been through it all. So it's

339
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: like coming in as a guest star into like a

340
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: house that's not quite yours yet, but like you're like, I.

341
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: Hope maybe they'll have me.

342
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: I was only supposed to come with Lily went to

343
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: go do her musical at LaGuardia so that she could

344
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: come back and graduate, and then I was supposed to

345
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: be gone.

346
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: Oh, thank god, thank god for you. You just make

347
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: you could, Yeah, you could go into any role, like,

348
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 4: you're just amazing.

349
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: I went into your role first. Actually do you remember this?

350
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: So everybody I had joined the cast, I had learned

351
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: four of the roles.

352
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: Which I don't understand.

353
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 6: You won.

354
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't understand how people are swings and have to

355
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: learn entire tracks from multiple people.

356
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: It's actually banana, that is the I.

357
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: Think about it all the time, Honestly, anytime I hear

358
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: like crazy harmonies and shows and things, I'm like, what

359
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: is the swing doing here? Like how are you doing this?

360
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? It is kind of bananas. Luckily it was only

361
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: four girls, so like it wasn't.

362
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: Only four roles, yeah right, and the girls like we're

363
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: in tandem, so you just had to keep track of

364
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: like which one did what.

365
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: But Phoebe was an understudy for Elsa. For Lauram Pritchard

366
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: and the like.

367
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks in after learning all the parts,

368
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: everybody got the flu. It was like widespread throughout the theater.

369
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: Everybody was calling out. Phoebe had to go on for

370
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: Elsa and I had not had a put in yet,

371
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: so I had never done it. I didn't have a costume.

372
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 3: I wore Jen's costume for the first one, my first

373
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: uh in, and it was just the craziest thing. And

374
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: I don't remember any of it. The lights like came

375
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: on and I remember being like, I don't know where

376
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 3: the fuck. I was utterly shocking, and you're just like,

377
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 3: I hope people just push me where I'm supposed to go,

378
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: and you just like yet through it. But I remember, yeah,

379
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: Ama was the first one I went on for Crazy.

380
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

381
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: Even during the show though, like through the run of

382
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: the show, I would still have to go back to

383
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 3: my binder and refer to the Mama harmonies because there

384
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: were so like all small differences. But then I came back.

385
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 3: Funny story, I came back from the show from doing

386
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: Glee for eight weeks in LA from doing the pilot

387
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 3: while we waited to see if it was going to

388
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: get picked up, and you guys had already gone and

389
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 3: the new cast had already come in. But Amanda, who

390
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: played Marta at that time, she missed her train. It

391
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: was my first day back in the theater. The first

392
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: day back, I was going to go sit in the

393
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 3: back of the house watch the show, refresh my memory.

394
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: And of course they come back to the back of

395
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: the house and they're like, Jenna, you have to go on.

396
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: And I was like, I don't think I remember the

397
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 3: show at all, and I and you do. Your muscle

398
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: memory just goes and you're crazy. It's like riding a bike.

399
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 3: Your body just like takes you where you need to go.

400
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: But it was that was terrifying too, eight weeks away.

401
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: Terrifying but exhilarating, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I still got it.

402
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: Like, well, it's gonna happen whether I like it or not.

403
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 4: And then you like stave the day.

404
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, a little bit, a little bit. That's the

405
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: swing thing.

406
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: Right time you go on, you're like, ah, yes, you're

407
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 2: all welcome.

408
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

409
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: No, truly though, like the the amount of talent that

410
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: it takes, I'm not tooting my own heart, just like

411
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: for swings in general.

412
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: To be like, have to do that. It's crazy. It's

413
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy.

414
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: They're amazing, which also makes sense why you both can

415
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: do these audiobook things if your brain is having to,

416
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: like I don't. It also makes sense of why you

417
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: were probably so sensitive also coming onto like the Glee set,

418
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: because you all had been just through this rollercoaster, right,

419
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: that was very similar and with people you knew, Like

420
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: it was not a huge jump from like Spring Awakening

421
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: cast to Glee cast. I felt like we always felt

422
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: like there was I don't know if you felt that,

423
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: but because like I felt that forever, and it felt

424
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: like we like, you know, Leah and john were They're like, yeah,

425
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: we were mom and dad like, well, sort of feels

426
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: like that here as well.

427
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and when Jonathan was on, Yeah, well that's so.

428
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: Funny because he also was like around from the very

429
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: beginning anyway, like just hanging out.

430
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh I see, so he was always.

431
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: He was always, But that's what it always felt like,

432
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: even if we didn't hang out all the time, have

433
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: like the closest relationship, and it felt like anybody who

434
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: was in the Spring Awakening family was also in the

435
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: Glee family. So like having you on felt like, yeah, like,

436
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah, of course, oh thank god, Like you understand

437
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: it was weird having like other people who we did

438
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 2: not know the vibe come on, especially that season.

439
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 4: I think you're onto something there, because like when you've

440
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 4: gone through something so crazy, you're kind of like, well,

441
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 4: I'm ready for crazy, Like it's fine, I can I

442
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 4: can handle the I can handle whatever weird stuff.

443
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fine, but it is.

444
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it's nice of you to say, but I mean,

445
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 4: jumping into a working TV set is like it's it's

446
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 4: it's a shock to the system at first for sure,

447
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: but it's so massive.

448
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've been on a lot of massive TV shows,

449
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: so like I would be terrified you did you do

450
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: thirty Rock?

451
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: Yes?

452
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: They did, Like I would be terrified.

453
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: That's scary. Yeah it was, it was. It was okay, good,

454
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: it was.

455
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 4: But it's that it's that jumping out of a plane thing.

456
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 5: It's like, here I go, you know, just do it. Yeah,

457
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: and yeah, so.

458
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 2: You happen to just be really good and talented and funny,

459
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: so it works out for you.

460
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 3: Going back to the whole thing of like having been

461
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 3: through something like Glee where there's like lots of drama, trauma,

462
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 3: relationship friendships, like very close knit going through something.

463
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: That's kind of like lightning in a bottle.

464
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: What your reflections are now because ours obviously we do

465
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: this podcast because we like to reflect on the time

466
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 3: that has passed, right and looking back now ten years later,

467
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 3: So I'm curious like your reflections on Spring Awakening from

468
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: that viewpoint as well, having had so much time and

469
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: then also doing the reunion and everybody coming back together.

470
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 4: You know, I will say I have described doing the

471
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 4: Reunion concert it felt like being in a really fun

472
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: haunted house because it was like it felt kind of creepy,

473
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 4: but make thing, and we're doing this show again on

474
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: our like fully grown bodies.

475
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 5: Right, gross to say.

476
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: But that makes a lot of sense, And like as I'm.

477
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 4: Sure you all might feel the same way, It's like

478
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: the dynamics felt exactly the same, Like it almost felt

479
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 4: like to me, I don't know how long I want

480
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 4: to live in this again, and I don't in that

481
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 4: bad way, but just it felt so beautifully painful because

482
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 4: it was like that was such a specific time. It

483
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: was such a multuous good and bad, Like I think

484
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: I experienced every emotion possible doing that show, and so

485
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 4: it was just so like I feel like a lot

486
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 4: of us have talked a few of us have talked

487
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 4: about this. I feel like a lot of us got

488
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 4: some kind of weird closure. I feel like over the

489
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: fifteen years before we did that concert, I still had

490
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 4: some and I won't get into the details, I still

491
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 4: had some like almost open wounds. I had some unresolved

492
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 4: conflicts or issues or feelings that still kind of haunted

493
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: me a little bit haunted house. And I felt like

494
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: they got resolved in a way. It felt it felt

495
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 4: closed in a way for me personally, right, So, yeah,

496
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if that really answers completely.

497
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 5: It was so like it was a lot so I.

498
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 4: Will say, like the first night when we had rehearsal,

499
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 4: I told my husband, like, I'm sure we'll go out

500
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 4: because we had the rehearsal wasn't in the evening. I

501
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: was like, I'm sure I'll off for a drink or

502
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 4: something after, and I think we all stayed out till

503
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 4: like at least three in the morning. It was like,

504
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, it was like I forgot it

505
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 4: wasn't twenty one twenty three when.

506
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: I you know, I'm like, I started getting texts from getting.

507
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you say?

508
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: Almost exactly what you just said. It was weird, the

509
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: exact same thing of like outer body. Yeah, and just

510
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: like the old wounds and like things that needed to

511
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: like have closure that you didn't even realize until like

512
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: you were there, like almost verbatim.

513
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: What you just said.

514
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: Wow, And he's like, we're all out right now drinking.

515
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, great, good luck. I hope you find

516
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 2: what you're looking for.

517
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 5: My husband thought I was dead. I mean it was,

518
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: but at.

519
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: The same time he knew I was out, he was,

520
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 4: you know, and I think I came home just like yeah,

521
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 4: oh yeah, I'm.

522
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is not my life, like this is

523
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: my life right. Yeah, No, that that resonates. That makes

524
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 3: total sense. I bet if we did a reunion, which

525
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 3: we do on our own sometimes anyway, like you know, gatherings,

526
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 3: but with smaller groups of people, not everybody, and like

527
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 3: you just you have your stuff or you don't have

528
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: your stuff, but like everything just goes back to like

529
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: you revert back to the twenty year old self and

530
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 3: people know.

531
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: You the way they know you and the way they

532
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: know you now, and you're just like we can just go,

533
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: we can just be like forever.

534
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: And I also think that going through those situations where

535
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 2: you do experience every known emotion under the sun in

536
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: a short period of time with all of these people

537
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: looking back at it now, it's like, well, you have

538
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: nothing to lose to sort of confront all those things

539
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: head on because you have this like deep foundation of

540
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: like respect and understanding for one another.

541
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: Yea.

542
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: And so it's like, well, we can talk about this.

543
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: You don't have to agree, but like at this point,

544
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: we've experienced all of these things together, which makes that

545
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 2: relationship really really strong, for better or for worse. And

546
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: I like we've done that like with people that we've

547
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 2: needed to like talk to and things like that, or

548
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 2: so like, yeah, okay, let's just talk this out, not

549
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: even necessarily looking for closure. But then when it happens,

550
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, oh that feels closed up in like

551
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 2: a good way. Didn't realize they needed that. And I've

552
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 2: seen you do it, and I've seen like other people

553
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 2: do it, so it I do think like you guys

554
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: had that reunion like under the guys like this healing

555
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: therapy therapeutic exchange under the guys of reunion exactly.

556
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 4: Like let's just get Yeah, it's kind of like I

557
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 4: don't know if you will.

558
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 5: I'm sure we're all of therapy, aren't we.

559
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 4: It's kind of like you can do all the actual

560
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 4: therapy you want, but then when you actually like go

561
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: home and are with your family, you're like, oh wait,

562
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 4: I was talking a big game.

563
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: Oh now I have to execute and implement hotly.

564
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: Jenna and I did that to each other once. Yeah,

565
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: I want to say it was someone and we're like, look,

566
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: I just need you to know that I'm going to

567
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: be really shameful in how I act because all of that,

568
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 2: like training, all the game I talk is going to

569
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: fly out the window and I'm not going to be

570
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: able to help myself. And I'm just moning. I'm just

571
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: warning you, and I feel ashamed. She's like me too.

572
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, great, yeah, but that.

573
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 4: Is the most like self knowing thing you could say.

574
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, I made up four years later,

575
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: but I was like I had to learn.

576
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah you do.

577
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 5: They'll do it.

578
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: If Parenty, you could sing a song on the show,

579
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: what would you have had her sing other than my dog.

580
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 2: With their soft spot?

581
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 3: Also also Penny, but you your character.

582
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I don't know.

583
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 4: I guess it would have been well, either would have

584
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: been the Beatles episode or the Katie you know what.

585
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: She probably would have sung because you know how, I

586
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: actually rewatched them this morning.

587
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 5: She has the moment with Sam where she's like, I actually.

588
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: Don't like scroll UKs, I like, you're so funny.

589
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 5: So they probably would have done some like pop girl

590
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 5: duet together.

591
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how cute I think cute.

592
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: I love that storyline. I love that about like he

593
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: likes it. So, yeah, you believe, I say I can't.

594
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 4: I forgot the line where she's like, Scarlet spit in

595
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 4: a cup and threw it on me.

596
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: That's some weird thing. Yeah, the dead pen way.

597
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: You also say that I lost it, just like, yeah, honey,

598
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: we love Penny.

599
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: Where were you like in high school?

600
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, were you a musical theater girl?

601
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 4: Not till later. I started out very like I came from.

602
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 4: I was in a do you know what magnet schools are?

603
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 5: They don't exist.

604
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was in a magnet middle school for math

605
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: and science. You were?

606
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: You were?

607
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: She's a smartie and this makes sense.

608
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 4: Glasses and braces and men's clothes and I was just miserable.

609
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: I didn't know the gift of song yet.

610
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just wanted a skater boy to like me

611
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 4: so bad. Same and yeah, it wasn't until I was

612
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 4: in Yeah, I don't know. It wasn't until I was

613
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 4: I had two of my very best girlfriends who are

614
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 4: still in my life, my very best friends who know

615
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 4: me like sister is Vanessa and Lane. They had done

616
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: community theater and took me along with them, and I

617
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: was like, Oh, this is where the weirdos are. I

618
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: like this because you feel seen a little bit.

619
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 5: I didn't even know it. But my but my family,

620
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 5: I say that.

621
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 4: But I grew up around music and musical theater because

622
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: my grandparents were musical theater performers and opera singers. So

623
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: I grew up around like the hammer's fine and all

624
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: this stuff. But I never anticipated that I would that

625
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 4: I would do it. And then I just started doing

626
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 4: high school theater and I've been I thought, I don't

627
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 4: want to go to New York, never turning back. I'm

628
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 4: going to be off Broadway.

629
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: Here she is.

630
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 5: I don't think a lot of people.

631
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people were smiling and nodding
