Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome to you, and that's what you were the most
Speaker 1: podcast Q and A. This is a Q and A
Speaker 1: for season five, all the things to come. We learn
Speaker 1: a lot from these Q and a's because you guys
Speaker 1: write in and you give us clues as to what
Speaker 1: we're about to encounter or experience. So thank you.
Speaker 2: And we had so much fun doing the last ones
Speaker 2: that we're like, we just need to do more of these.
Speaker 1: Thanks for writing in you guys every time. Let's start
Speaker 1: with some easy ones.
Speaker 2: I have one, Okay, Santana's press sticks. Our BFF was asking, well,
Speaker 2: you guys asked about your character's futures. Do we have
Speaker 2: any input on whether or not our characters went to
Speaker 2: New York?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, but I did. Here's the thing and
Speaker 1: we'll get into this. Also in this episode, I I
Speaker 1: did ask to be in less and so I'm sure
Speaker 1: that taking that into account, they were like, Okay, so
Speaker 1: Tina will go to Brown and she won't spoiler alert,
Speaker 1: she won't be in as many episodes, so she won't
Speaker 1: go to New York full time or go to school there.
Speaker 1: But it's close happened, Yeah, exactly, and which I do,
Speaker 1: which is really fun. So yeah, not really did you
Speaker 1: have any sake, Kevin, You were just there for the ride.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I I wanted to be there as
Speaker 2: long as possible.
Speaker 1: Yes, they also planted yours. You were going to college,
Speaker 1: like Kitty helped you get in.
Speaker 2: Yes. The most I had influence and at all was
Speaker 2: just letting it be known that I was happy there.
Speaker 2: I wanted to be there great and like happy to
Speaker 2: take whatever smartket they would give me, very smart because
Speaker 2: we were also like the way you asked to be
Speaker 2: in like was respectful. We're in season five here. That
Speaker 2: happens on every show. Yeah, and you and I were
Speaker 2: just vibing most of the time. It's like if you
Speaker 2: knew what you wanted, they were happy to respect that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure we were not trying
Speaker 2: to tell them how to do their job though. No,
Speaker 2: we weren't, like we knew that was above our pay grade.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I knew what my job was, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Not a question but a comment also from
Speaker 1: Santana's Presidicks said season five is some of the best
Speaker 1: performances of the show, so to hear are my favorites
Speaker 1: to look forward to, and I have to agree. Gloria,
Speaker 1: Gloria again and Gloria one more time. Okay, great? Do wop?
Speaker 2: What? Yes?
Speaker 1: Jump and Jumping Kevin someone of Kevin's.
Speaker 2: Favorite ever we've ever done? Uh huh to tag.
Speaker 1: That for you, Let's wait a while. If I were
Speaker 1: a boy Breakaway and the whole National Sellers.
Speaker 2: I'm stoked, which, by the way, I was going to
Speaker 2: because my camera roll from basically season four and season
Speaker 2: back half of season three disappeared. I have a lot
Speaker 2: from this season and I have full takes of us filming.
Speaker 2: Still haven't found.
Speaker 1: The city, Yes, city of Angels right and more than
Speaker 1: a feeling.
Speaker 2: Yes, So I wonder if we can post it. But
Speaker 2: I have full take so you can actually see how
Speaker 2: we would film it, because we'd film it as a
Speaker 2: complete number and you can hear Brooke on like the
Speaker 2: god Mike telling us to move. And I love that
Speaker 2: set list. I love that set list.
Speaker 1: It might be my favorite. Second favorite me too. I
Speaker 1: love that one. That was a fun one to I
Speaker 1: remember like enjoying being there also and enjoying performing those Yes, totally.
Speaker 1: It makes a difference, Like you when we were super
Speaker 1: into it. It was a joy to film totally those
Speaker 1: days easier. Yeah, Well, another question was, was coord comedic
Speaker 1: relief during the chaos of season five? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Oh okay.
Speaker 1: His impressions there's one coming up next episode that you
Speaker 1: will see that is they're all so so good and shocking,
Speaker 1: like still surprising to me sometimes and I don't know
Speaker 1: why I'm surprised by it, but like they're so good,
Speaker 1: like he shouldn't be this good at doing impressions, but
Speaker 1: then also behind the scenes, like just trying to make
Speaker 1: us laugh and and bring some levity to the whole season.
Speaker 2: On top of that, I think what makes like the
Speaker 2: comedy even better from him is that he's also just
Speaker 2: around like us, like an open book and so honest
Speaker 2: and open, so even like through the tough times, was
Speaker 2: just very transparent and you can just which is all
Speaker 2: I think why we all adore and love him so
Speaker 2: much is because there was never any pretense about hiding
Speaker 2: his feelings, whether he was high or low. Yep, And
Speaker 2: that just rounds out like who he is as a person,
Speaker 2: and the fact that he did make us laugh so much,
Speaker 2: like yep, you see, it's just how wonderful. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: love Cord.
Speaker 1: We love Cord.
Speaker 2: Someone said that we actually need two episodes for the
Speaker 2: Beatles low key overrated. Wow, I disagree that the Beatles
Speaker 2: are overrated, the Beetles are overrated or the episodes for
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think two episodes of the
Speaker 2: Beatles was unnecessary. They have such like a huge and
Speaker 2: extensive catalog. But I are they my favorite episode? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right? I like Teen in the Sky a lot the
Speaker 1: first one. Yeah, interesting parts of the first one, I like.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did filming the Nationals episode feel the same as filming
Speaker 1: the Quarterback episode?
Speaker 2: No? Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: It got me for sure, but not in the same
Speaker 1: way and enough time. There was more time to grieve
Speaker 1: and to process and to move and to like feel
Speaker 1: so is very It felt very different to me.
Speaker 2: I mean the the biggest difference between the two is
Speaker 2: Nationals was an ode in a moment recognizing and remembering
Speaker 2: our friend. Yes, the Quarterback was us grieving and grieving
Speaker 2: and having to like open the camera over and over
Speaker 2: and over again for a full episode. Very different situation.
Speaker 2: How involved was Ryan at this point in the show.
Speaker 2: He was always very involved on the writer's side, The
Speaker 2: writer's side. Yeah, exactly. We didn't see him as much
Speaker 2: for sure, but he showed up during the quarterback. Yes,
Speaker 2: we saw him more because there was sort of more,
Speaker 2: and then the hundred episode, of course we saw him.
Speaker 2: It was like because he was also doing three other
Speaker 2: shows at that point, so he showed up when he
Speaker 2: needed to. You know, Yeah, did you consider not turning
Speaker 2: to Glee after Corey passed? It's so interesting that a
Speaker 2: couple of people asked that I never once crossed my mind. Same.
Speaker 1: I consider not showing up for the quarterback episode right,
Speaker 1: different than leaving the show altogether. Yes, it was more
Speaker 1: of like, what does this look like now?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Exactly? What's our future?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why was Diana not in the quarterback?
Speaker 1: Was she?
Speaker 2: At least asked? I believe we were. None of us
Speaker 2: were forced to be in the episodes. Everyone in that episode,
Speaker 2: so we were all given the option to do it
Speaker 2: or not do it.
Speaker 1: Also had a note like Diana was a busy bee
Speaker 1: and working, and it's a very good chance that she
Speaker 1: was also not available because she wasn't under contract quickly
Speaker 1: to be available. Yeah. A lot of people ask this question,
Speaker 1: and I mean when I said, I learned a lot
Speaker 1: I forgot that this is the season where Tina goes
Speaker 1: away halfway through. That's wild to me, I know. And
Speaker 1: somebody said, why is Janna barely in season five? Someone said,
Speaker 1: you wanted to be Briton now it is? It true?
Speaker 1: So I'm in the first half right with school and McKinley.
Speaker 1: But they just didn't transfer me to New York when
Speaker 1: the show really kind of transferred to New York. And
Speaker 1: that was like there was a lot happening in my
Speaker 1: personal life, and there was a lot happening where after
Speaker 1: Corey and after doing all of those episodes, it was
Speaker 1: like felt like the right transition we graduated. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like Tina just disappeared in the middle of a school year.
Speaker 1: Like it just felt like the right transition time for
Speaker 1: me to kind of go to a recur where I
Speaker 1: could like pop in and out and I got to
Speaker 1: do some other like really fun projects and things during
Speaker 1: that time, and so it was just like it was
Speaker 1: really nice, like it was actually like such a great
Speaker 1: break and that when I came back for when Funny
Speaker 1: Girl opens, and when I come back for uh later
Speaker 1: in the season, it just felt like I was so
Speaker 1: happy to be there, you know, and see everybody and
Speaker 1: be on sad and be with the crew and just
Speaker 1: be with like everybody. So I didn't know, No, I
Speaker 1: don't think until we got closer to graduation, and then
Speaker 1: it was announced that Tina got into Brown and then
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of decided that was going to
Speaker 1: be what was going to happen.
Speaker 2: It definitely felt different for me being there without you.
Speaker 2: It was a very different experience, so weird now that
Speaker 2: I'm wondering and like, looking back at it, I'm wondering
Speaker 2: if the fact that we were more in New York,
Speaker 2: so like my daily life looked different. I'm on physically,
Speaker 2: I'm on different sets, working with different people and not
Speaker 2: working with you and the people I had been working
Speaker 2: with every single day. Yeah, I also felt like sort
Speaker 2: of I think, like a mental disconnect a bit where
Speaker 2: there's obviously an attachment and a fondness for like McKinley
Speaker 2: and being with all of you and then like you
Speaker 2: were gone. I was like, Wow, this feels weird, and
Speaker 2: like when you're detached like that and then showing up,
Speaker 2: there's a strain and the relationship to work totally.
Speaker 1: And also then you got we were doing your movie
Speaker 1: and you were just like there was other things happening.
Speaker 1: It was just crazy. It was a weird time.
Speaker 2: It was very strange. It's strange to have sort of
Speaker 2: like your every day up ended like that, especially when
Speaker 2: the routine has been set for so long and like
Speaker 2: your days are so long.
Speaker 1: But you're also in like the same environment a bit.
Speaker 1: That's the funny part is like you're at the same place,
Speaker 1: but like everything just looks different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the scale of it is different, because like
Speaker 2: when you're in the fireroom, you have every camera, you
Speaker 2: have all the crew, you have a huge cast. In
Speaker 2: New York, it's like one or two of you and
Speaker 2: smaller thing. It's just weird. It felt different. I think
Speaker 2: it's I also think it's harder in some ways. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's an adjustment. I don't know if it's harder. But
Speaker 2: we were there all the time, so we knew what
Speaker 2: was going on all the time. We didn't really have
Speaker 2: to like pay attention because we were there. When you're
Speaker 2: paying in and out, you get to be more conscious
Speaker 2: of your role of like what you're doing in your
Speaker 2: relationship to all those things, where like I think we
Speaker 2: just weren't used to that, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's different, very different. Which episodes are you looking
Speaker 1: forward to watching it and which ones are you dreading? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to watching Frenemies because that's our episode. Kevin,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Katie or Gaga. I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: watching Trio. I'm looking forward to watching that's the one
Speaker 1: with me, and than national forward to Yes, City of
Speaker 1: Angels one hundred tested was your episode, right, Kevin, Oh god, yes,
Speaker 1: SD episode. I okay, so, and then I have to
Speaker 1: be honest, I'm excited for these the second half because
Speaker 1: I wasn't in it and I don't think I was
Speaker 1: really watching it, to be honest, So like this is
Speaker 1: just it's a new show.
Speaker 2: She said. If I'm not in it, I'm not watching it.
Speaker 1: I was so removed. Fair, I get it, and I'm
Speaker 1: not looking obviously, I'm just not looking forward to any
Speaker 1: like and this experience post Corey just like it just
Speaker 1: feels like post the quarterback. It's just hard, you know,
Speaker 1: to like you always remember that in the back of
Speaker 1: your mind, like what we were we were going through that,
Speaker 1: are we going through this or that makes sense? You know.
Speaker 2: I think when we met Ryan on and he talked
Speaker 2: about the quarterback it was very insightful because he said
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have done that episode now right in hindsight totally.
Speaker 2: But the other aspect of that is is that it
Speaker 2: did leave like a bad taste in our mouths for
Speaker 2: a little bit, for the experience of just like, why
Speaker 2: did we do that? Why did we have to do that?
Speaker 2: Like it felt I wish we hadn't, right, yeah, and
Speaker 2: it just like sort of changed for a little bit
Speaker 2: how we felt about things.
Speaker 1: But it is so funny, Kevin, because none of us
Speaker 1: were forced to do that episode, and yet we all
Speaker 1: chose to be there. I don't know what I was
Speaker 1: hoping for in that episode, maybe some closure or just
Speaker 1: not missing being with everybody at that time mm hmm.
Speaker 1: But like I think if I wasn't there, I would
Speaker 1: have always looked back being like, was there something that
Speaker 1: I missed in doing something like that? Now? No, for
Speaker 1: me at this point is no, because we did it right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I wish we hadn't. Nobody I wish we didn't.
Speaker 1: As a whole we didn't have to do it. But
Speaker 1: as a single person of teen, it's like I wasn't there,
Speaker 1: If you weren't there, I always wondered like, would we
Speaker 1: have regretted not being there, especially that Leo was there?
Speaker 2: Right? I think that was sort of it was if
Speaker 2: Leah's okay with this, yep, Like I don't want to
Speaker 2: do this. It felt like.
Speaker 1: Bad, like I wish we didn't have to do this.
Speaker 2: Mentally, well, it felt bad mentally emotionally to have to
Speaker 2: like do that, yeah, talk about it and like sort
Speaker 2: of be on camera experiencing these things.
Speaker 1: It's just awful. And then you like feel bad for
Speaker 1: like the camera people who are like that's their job
Speaker 1: and yet you're breaking down and they're supposed to keep
Speaker 1: the camera on you.
Speaker 2: Well, it also felt like if I don't do this,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be the person who's not there.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
Speaker 2: That's what I was trying to And it's like I
Speaker 2: can only represent myself, so like I need to show up,
Speaker 2: but like I didn't want to. I was very close
Speaker 2: to not doing it.
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 1: Interesting, but I'm like.
Speaker 2: Everybody's doing it, right, I should I'm going to show up, right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Was I a happy camper?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody through that episode. No, I was
Speaker 2: upset and let I know, and everybody know who was there?
Speaker 2: But that was fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in hindsight, I wouldn't have I wouldn't have done it.
Speaker 1: No, okay.
Speaker 2: Someone asked we choose our songs in the Quarterback episode. No, no,
Speaker 2: at least we didn't. I don't know. I can't speak
Speaker 2: to if Lea did or right, I think Lea did. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 2: that makes sense. Okay.
Speaker 1: On another note, somebody said you're about to get some
Speaker 1: of the best music, and the same with season six.
Speaker 1: So here's what my feeling is. Like. Season three, they're like,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be great. Get on board. Season four
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, I don't know. We felt differently,
Speaker 1: we enjoyed it. Season five they're like, we're like, oh god,
Speaker 1: this is all coming. But the music, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 2: Yes, So even if all the rest of it is
Speaker 2: a little kooky, we get some great musical moments.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Did any song suggestions that we made make it through
Speaker 2: to air? Yeah? Yeah, not many.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, like we would always be singing
Speaker 1: and talking, and you know, it would always be just
Speaker 1: doing and Ryan would always be listening. You just know
Speaker 1: he's always listening.
Speaker 2: Yes, were there any songs that you like specifically? Asked for.
Speaker 2: I asked for let Me Love You by Mario and
Speaker 2: that got in.
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. No, I don't think I asked for
Speaker 1: anything in particular. You know, I actually did though. I
Speaker 1: told Ryan that I really like to do Florence and
Speaker 1: I really liked do Gaga, and I think he I mean,
Speaker 1: I did a lot of Florence and I did a
Speaker 1: lot of Maga. So I think I didn't ask for anything,
Speaker 1: very sisters, but I had said, like, I really like this,
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean, that was given.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. Kelly once he became a writer the
Speaker 2: last episode, texted me about my audition song and like,
Speaker 2: what would I want? I was like, oh, I remember
Speaker 2: where I was when he texted me, because like we
Speaker 2: didn't get asked that ever, right, and so I was like, well,
Speaker 2: if it can clear first choice pony obviously.
Speaker 1: Right, that's right, because you didn't have an audition song.
Speaker 1: M hm, oh my god, your audition song. I can't
Speaker 1: wait for that that. I'm excited for that whole episode.
Speaker 2: Someone said Sam Sades is back, baby, and let me
Speaker 2: tell you, I could not be more excited A lot.
Speaker 2: I love Sam Saydes.
Speaker 1: Obviously very very exciting. Were you as stuck emotionally by
Speaker 1: the klaim proposal scene as the audience was, or just yes,
Speaker 1: yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: It was so good. Oh what was your favorite season
Speaker 2: to shoot? I mean probably for me probably season one.
Speaker 1: One.
Speaker 2: Everything was new, like no one really knew what we
Speaker 2: were doing. It was just it was like an innocent
Speaker 2: summer camp.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just show up and like there's no expectations,
Speaker 1: You're just like doing things. Everything was like joyful. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I liked.
Speaker 2: One was the hundred episode filming therapeutic being all back
Speaker 2: together or too soon?
Speaker 1: A hundred was weird. I don't know if you remember this,
Speaker 1: but like, here's the thing. I liked being back with everybody,
Speaker 1: but it was a weird episode. I remember, like I
Speaker 1: remember being like, this is weird, and maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch it. It felt like do
Speaker 1: you know when you go off to college and you
Speaker 1: come home and it doesn't quite feel the same anymore.
Speaker 1: That's we've been there for a long time, but all
Speaker 1: these people came back and it didn't quite feel the same. No,
Speaker 1: it did not, And that's what A hundred felt like
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then there's all this hoopla and like all
Speaker 3: these press things and all this stuff we had to
Speaker 3: do in parties, and I was also going through a
Speaker 3: breakup on the day of one hundred parties. Like it
Speaker 3: just like a lot happening that I remember being like,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: This is I forgot. We used to talk about this,
Speaker 2: but after Corey's passing, there was a difference in how
Speaker 2: I think we all looked at the show. Before that,
Speaker 2: even you know, we talked about we had some ups
Speaker 2: and downs personally professionally working in the long days and
Speaker 2: all that. Yeah, but like we all were very proud
Speaker 2: of the show we were on and like happy to
Speaker 2: work hard and ultimately loved being there. Yeah, starting now
Speaker 2: in season five, it became we're clocking in and clocking
Speaker 2: out because I think for our like sanity, and I
Speaker 2: think that was for everyone, And that's nothing against the show.
Speaker 2: I think like how we subconsciously or consciously looked at
Speaker 2: our experience there was like the show obviously is different,
Speaker 2: the writing is a little different. We're trying to we
Speaker 2: were in our selves and it's like we noticed that
Speaker 2: everybody's doing their best, but like we just couldn't be
Speaker 2: the same amount of like emotionally invested as we had been,
Speaker 2: and so like we strugg with that with Naya, with
Speaker 2: everyone like clocking in, clocking out, and so like the
Speaker 2: one hundred episode, everybody's showing up, you don't have that
Speaker 2: same like light in your eyes or fired to be
Speaker 2: there because like it's the vib's become weird. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like everyone's struggling and we're going through like a really traumatic,
Speaker 2: life changing thing and the show doesn't feel the same.
Speaker 2: We all are different people now and he's not there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so it was very much like a little bit of
Speaker 2: an emotional detachment, Yeah, for sure, which I think is
Speaker 2: probably what we were all feeling if we even if
Speaker 2: we couldn't really put a name to.
Speaker 1: It, you know, Yes, that's right at the time exactly.
Speaker 2: Was it fun filming in New York City? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean you did it more than I did.
Speaker 2: I had a great time. I felt so lucky every
Speaker 2: time I got to film in New York. It just
Speaker 2: felt like it really felt like a privilege.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I could see that all this stuff
Speaker 1: when I come back to New York was shot on
Speaker 1: the Paramount lot.
Speaker 2: So yeah, some of the New York stuff we used
Speaker 2: to film in Paramount and a lot of times we'd
Speaker 2: film in Downtown LA, which really felt like we got cheated,
Speaker 2: like that was the worst of all.
Speaker 1: The theaters and all of that stuff, and like, come on,
Speaker 1: can we just actually going to New York? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like all that stuff with Rachel auditioning for Funny
Speaker 2: Girl and doing like the Chemistry read and all that,
Speaker 2: that's all theater in Downtown LA.
Speaker 1: It's like a million dollar theater or whatever it's called.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did thee hundredth episode feel, you know, to piggyback
Speaker 2: off of that, Did it feel like a huge event
Speaker 2: to you as it did to the viewers?
Speaker 1: I mean they definitely made a big deal out of it,
Speaker 1: like it was a big deal, right, And I remember
Speaker 1: you Kevin being like people don't usually get to one
Speaker 1: hundred episodes, Like this is a big deal. Classic me,
Speaker 1: Yeah the numbers kid like being like, yeah, we it
Speaker 1: is a privilege to get on a TV show. To
Speaker 1: get to one hundredth episode, that is a big deal.
Speaker 1: It's also part I think I think you told me
Speaker 1: you were like, this is also when people get syndicated.
Speaker 1: You hit one hundred episodes, it is And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's fun. Like so I remember understanding it's a big
Speaker 1: milestone for TV. Like I remember everybody saying that, like
Speaker 1: you not every TV show gets here, and it's a
Speaker 1: big deal when you do. I don't feel like the
Speaker 1: episode itself sticks out in my mind all that much,
Speaker 1: except for maybe what do we do raise your glass?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that in this one? Or is that was that
Speaker 1: a while ago? I don't know, No, that's that's pink.
Speaker 1: What is the one we do with Gwynna think Kristen, Yeah,
Speaker 1: raise your glass and that's like the main one. And
Speaker 1: then I remember taking all the pictures on stage with
Speaker 1: all of our stuff, and.
Speaker 2: You know, here's the thing. So like when you see
Speaker 2: photos of like those events, we're in the middle of shooting.
Speaker 2: We're all in costume, and so it's like we're being
Speaker 2: like like rushed into this like photos set up for
Speaker 2: like three minutes. Yeah, I'm going back to clink of
Speaker 2: the glass. So we don't really get to like revel
Speaker 2: in like the annormity of the situation. You're right, at all,
Speaker 2: We're like we're still like it's every single okay, because
Speaker 2: I think we were told like every single day costs
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of dollars and then think about how
Speaker 2: that breaks down into hours and minutes, and so anytime
Speaker 2: you were taking away from shooting, like we are spending money, yeah,
Speaker 2: we need to like we're not spending it, we're wasting it.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. So Yeah, it wasn't like but I did
Speaker 2: feel like, you know, growing up being the numbers person
Speaker 2: looking at IMDb, different actors had done hundreds of episodes
Speaker 2: of this thing or fifty episodes of that thing. It
Speaker 2: felt very surreal for me to be able to, like
Speaker 2: on paper, look down and see that I had done
Speaker 2: one hundred episodes of a TV show. That was really
Speaker 2: hard for me to wrap my head around. Interesting, just
Speaker 2: like really crazy.
Speaker 1: Now looking back, I'm like and just being in the
Speaker 1: industry for longer and seeing everything the way I see
Speaker 1: it now and like being more in the know. It's like,
Speaker 1: you see so many shows come on have a little
Speaker 1: bit of life, and I guess it's streamers. It's a
Speaker 1: little bit different, but like barely make it through, you know,
Speaker 1: and that's it. And you see one season and that's it,
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my god, those actors, like you
Speaker 1: book your job and that's all you get. You know.
Speaker 2: What's crazy is that this is no, this is no
Speaker 2: drag on any show that's on right now because the
Speaker 2: state of TV has obviously changed. But like our ratings
Speaker 2: at the end of our run, we're like better than
Speaker 2: some shows that are considered hits now, right, Like oh wow, that's.
Speaker 1: Well, there's just like so much content now. It's like,

Speaker 1: totally different. Then.
Speaker 2: It really was like on the night that the show airs,
Speaker 2: what is your viewership? Yeah, and then maybe plus three
Speaker 2: for like recorded plus three means like three days people
Speaker 2: who've watched it, who recorded it are watching it within
Speaker 2: three days. Now it's like a plus ten or plus
Speaker 2: eleven day thing. So now you're considered, oh it airs
Speaker 2: here on Monday, and then it's on Hulu immediately after
Speaker 2: and you consider the streaming numbers and not to bore you,
Speaker 2: but that's how it works now and so like so different.
