Speaker 2: Award winning performance on her first episode of Glee. She
Speaker 2: looks she looks so good. You know what's in curating too.
Speaker 2: I remember when she showed up and they were like,
Speaker 2: she doesn't really want to wor makeup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, They're like, don't really do her hair. She was like,
Speaker 1: just straighten it from like the half down. She's like,
Speaker 1: don't touch the top. And there she is, looking younger
Speaker 1: than all of us.
Speaker 2: It's infuriating.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's let's talk about gwinnet. But let's just
Speaker 1: give a little a little preamble here. This is the substitute.
Speaker 1: It is episode seven of season two and the air
Speaker 1: date was Ushu Shu November sixteenth, twenty ten. We were
Speaker 1: getting close to Thanksgiving. What was what was going on
Speaker 1: in the world? Kevin oh Na Na, What's My Name?
Speaker 2: Was the number one song that's exactly what Rihanna sounds like,
Speaker 2: and the number one movie was Unstoppable starrying. Denzel Washington and.
Speaker 1: Chris Pine also didn't see that.
Speaker 2: Nope. Some glean news this week, Leah and Corey were
Speaker 2: on the cover.
Speaker 1: Of teen Vogue looking very angelic.
Speaker 2: I mean beautiful like models lighting. Also this week, some
Speaker 2: of us went to the GQ magazine Men of the
Speaker 2: Year event. It was Chateau. I had a very it
Speaker 2: looks like I had an accident with the hair straightener.
Speaker 1: You look like you stepped out of like Emo, the
Speaker 1: Emo two thousands, and there was bad.
Speaker 2: So we were filming. We were filming at that high
Speaker 2: school where I did Safety Dance, I mean at the
Speaker 2: mall where we did Save Dance. I don't know what
Speaker 2: we were filming there. We haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 1: But was it Christmas?
Speaker 2: Maybe we're filming Christmas. Maybe it is that. And so
Speaker 2: we had exactly two seconds to get ready, like in
Speaker 2: our trailers.
Speaker 1: And that's when this whole started, this thing where if
Speaker 1: we had to go to an event, we were so
Speaker 1: busy working that they would have hair and makeup come
Speaker 1: to set to get us ready and we go straight
Speaker 1: from set, which was like not the ideal.
Speaker 2: It was not ideal, and I mean you saw what
Speaker 2: happened with my hair. But that's where we also met
Speaker 2: my good friend Douglas Booth actor.
Speaker 1: Is that where you met Dougie Booth.
Speaker 2: That's where I met Dougie Booth because he was a
Speaker 2: model at the time becoming an actor, and that's where
Speaker 2: it all started.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love Dougyoth.
Speaker 2: I know. Isn't that great?
Speaker 1: That is great? What a memory.
Speaker 2: It was worth it. It was worth getting ready really
Speaker 2: quickly so I could go befriend one dog Booth. Okay,
Speaker 2: so this episode was directed by Ryan Murphy.
Speaker 1: Didn't remember that.
Speaker 2: I didn't either, but it makes sense, like this episode
Speaker 2: directed very well.
Speaker 1: Well, it's directed very well. It's a very funny episode.
Speaker 1: And also I couldn't see anybody else directing Gweth on
Speaker 1: our first day of course, yes, okay, were our special
Speaker 1: guest star is Gwyneth Paltrow, herself, Holly Holliday. And we've
Speaker 1: got a lot of co stars, a lot of teeny
Speaker 1: tiny co stars.
Speaker 2: Yes, we have the child version of the Glee Club,
Speaker 2: which was so cute. Loved them.
Speaker 1: I was nice to share you lot a greed. I
Speaker 1: remember being a back behind in village when they were
Speaker 1: doing that, and all of us trying not to crack
Speaker 1: up laughing. All the parents of these little kids are there,
Speaker 1: of course obviously how cute were they?
Speaker 2: We were all there watching obsessed.
Speaker 1: Yes, I have a photo us with our minis on
Speaker 1: that we can post later. That was really fun. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. They're all really cute.
Speaker 2: They're so cute and so good. I don't even want
Speaker 2: to look up how old they are now that way.
Speaker 1: Oh, when Jesslyn returns for this episode outum, she.
Speaker 2: Sure does good. We need more Jesslin always right.
Speaker 1: What songs were in this episode?
Speaker 2: You know, we don't have that many songs we have
Speaker 2: forget you make them laugh nowadays Slash Hot Honey rag
Speaker 2: and singing in the rain slash Umbrella. There was a
Speaker 2: little conjunction junction as well.
Speaker 1: That's right. I mean heard other class montages were like it.
Speaker 1: And then GP won the Emmy, like you said, for
Speaker 1: Guest Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for for
Speaker 1: Holly Holliday. Uh what so this episode, mister Shue gets sick,
Speaker 1: he gets the was it the monkey flu? The bird flu?
Speaker 2: There's something going around it takes out, takes out the principal,
Speaker 2: and it takes out the glee club director you know yep.
Speaker 1: And Holly Holiday comes in to take over his spatter
Speaker 1: class and then at the work of Kurt the glee club,
Speaker 1: and she winds up winning everybody over. And Sue is
Speaker 1: principal figgins Sylvester for some temporary moment which is permanent,
Speaker 1: and she tries to get crazy.
Speaker 2: She doesn't try, she does get crazy.
Speaker 1: She does get crazy. She takes away the tots.
Speaker 2: The whole episode made me hungry.
Speaker 1: I was like tattered. They looked really good.
Speaker 2: Before we get into this, I think we just have
Speaker 2: to talk about Gwyneth for a hot second.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it.
Speaker 2: I was so nervous and starstruck because I think this
Speaker 2: was the first time I had ever been around like
Speaker 2: an Oscar winner, and I wasn't sure how I was
Speaker 2: going to be able to like play it really cool,
Speaker 2: you know when you try to play it cool and
Speaker 2: you just come off actually cold, yes, and like rude.
Speaker 2: I was very worried about that because I just wouldn't speak,
Speaker 2: like we'd be sitting in the you know, in between shots,
Speaker 2: like just like trying not to make eye contact. And
Speaker 2: then luckily, Gwyneth is one of the coolest, doesn't give
Speaker 2: a shit, chillest person you could ever meet, and was incredible.
Speaker 1: She was so much fun. She came on set. Her
Speaker 1: stature is so large, Aura, yes, that Aura, and she
Speaker 1: comes up and you're like, oh my god, like I
Speaker 1: get it, you know, you like get it. But she
Speaker 1: was so cool and so chill and hung out with
Speaker 1: us in between takes, like she didn't walk away, you know,
Speaker 1: like she's always with us, with us, hanging out her kids. Funny,
Speaker 1: that's right. She brought our kids a lot. It was,
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it was really a fun time. And
Speaker 1: I don't think we could have ever expected that from Gwynneth,
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't expect to like have. And
Speaker 1: then I remember she also gave us all handwritten notes,
Speaker 1: which I believe she actually wrote thank you notes for
Speaker 1: being on the show and like.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: It was really and yeah, I remember being like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're doing a musical number with her, too musical?
Speaker 2: Yes, are you kidding me? When I realized that I
Speaker 2: was singing on a song with her, I like, I
Speaker 2: can't wait for my family to see this. I've really
Speaker 2: come up, Like I.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when she came on tour and did
Speaker 1: THEO two with us and she did Forget You, and
Speaker 1: we didn't have that in there otherwise obviously, but she
Speaker 1: came and I remember she was with Apple and Apple
Speaker 1: was kind of grown up at that point. This is
Speaker 1: way after this first episode, but she she came backstage
Speaker 1: and you know, we got to hang out there for
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then they were like, we we
Speaker 1: rehearsed for, you know, the number before she went on.
Speaker 1: And then she's like, I'm gonna go watch the show.
Speaker 1: And I'm like what, yeah, and she's said me a watch,
Speaker 1: so they I see her in the opening number. I
Speaker 1: think it was like in the opening three trio that
Speaker 1: we do, and I see her get escorted I think
Speaker 1: maybe by Telly all the way down to like seat
Speaker 1: number four in the aisle, row four in the workstra
Speaker 1: She's wearing a Glee sweatshirt with the hood and the
Speaker 1: drop string all the way up and nobody knew.
Speaker 2: No because we were so entertaining, no one was watching.
Speaker 2: What it felt throwing the on in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure she was dancing. It was I was like,
Speaker 1: you're gonna go watch the show. Stay that.
Speaker 2: I feel like I performed most of that show for
Speaker 2: Apple and her friends because right before they started, Apple
Speaker 2: like nicknamed me something I don't remember what it was.
Speaker 2: And arty Pants. It was already pants and they were
Speaker 2: calling me arty pants. And so they were standing on
Speaker 2: the side of the stage. Every time I'd go over there,
Speaker 2: I would just yell out arty pants, like point to them.
Speaker 2: They would like to scream and dance around. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was one. It was very surreal, like you grow up
Speaker 2: like hearing about somebody and seeing them in movies and
Speaker 2: tabloids and things, and you're like, oh, now we're just
Speaker 2: hanging with gwynethan London or wherever, like eating pizza off
Speaker 2: of the hood of a car on the back lot
Speaker 2: as we're shooting with her and her kids. It's like
Speaker 2: this is wild. Yeah, and we're still friends and she's
Speaker 2: great and wonderful and we love her. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also just in the Glee family now having married Brat, Yeah,
Speaker 1: getting closer to her and now here we are. Okay.
Speaker 1: So Sue, there's a there's a flu going around, and
Speaker 1: she makes sure that Principal Figgins gets it, so it's
Speaker 1: ices sneezes on Figgins. And this made me think of COVID.
Speaker 1: I was like, don't sneeze on them?
Speaker 2: No, very scary.
Speaker 1: But Figgins gets very sick and Sue is principal and
Speaker 1: her first order of business is she's going to destroy
Speaker 1: the glee club again. So here we are so then
Speaker 1: will get sick and this will be kind of the
Speaker 1: other part of this episode and will goes down as well.
Speaker 1: But Sue also tries to take down the football team,
Speaker 1: and this scene where she comes into dot Chekobes and
Speaker 1: says she's she is disbanding the football team coach Pece
Speaker 1: for the first time, we see her in a power
Speaker 1: position saying, well, who are your cheerleaders going to cheer for?
Speaker 1: Sue's reaction number one was great, but also this was
Speaker 1: one of my favorite scenes. I love the scene, really
Speaker 1: funny cut to her writing in her book Hugh Mely,
Speaker 1: Yeah so good.
Speaker 2: So obviously, then with shoe down bad with the monkey flu,
Speaker 2: we need a new glee club instructor. So Rachel tries
Speaker 2: it for a hot second, which is very funny, but
Speaker 2: the glee clubs obviously not happened having it, and so
Speaker 2: Kurt recruits the sub for Spanish, which is none other
Speaker 2: than Holly Holliday Gwyneth Paltrow, and he convinces her to
Speaker 2: take over the glee club after being in her English
Speaker 2: class where she does a full musical number of conjunction junction,
Speaker 2: And she comes in and I think probably is one
Speaker 2: of the most famous scenes from the show now of
Speaker 2: you know, Puck buttering the floor, Kurt and Rachel slipping
Speaker 2: on the butter and when like just coolly sliding in.
Speaker 1: Do you remember how she did the butter?
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: Actually, they put her on roller skates. Really, she was
Speaker 1: on roller skates and she skated in.
Speaker 2: I don't remember that at all, And.
Speaker 1: I was like, what is going to day on roller skates?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember, not knowing what was going on it
Speaker 2: clearly we didn't read the script. How do we not
Speaker 2: know what's happening in this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, what's going with the butter? And like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Yeah, she was on like
Speaker 1: roller skates or rollerblades, and I'll never forget it. I'll
Speaker 1: never forget it. So she comes in and she asks
Speaker 1: us what we want to do, which is like such
Speaker 1: a concept. It's kind of like in Glee when a
Speaker 1: director's like, what do you want to do? Right, and
Speaker 1: so book's a se lo.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so Holly Holliday does her first number.
Speaker 2: I mean, and she ended up doing the Grammys with Celo,
Speaker 2: which is crazy. That's a crazy impact because that was
Speaker 2: one of the biggest songs of that year. And then
Speaker 2: you're nominated for a Grammy and you have Gwyneth Paltrow
Speaker 2: come on and do it with you because that version
Speaker 2: was so big, you know, isn't that insane?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy. I also don't know that I
Speaker 1: knew that Gwyneth could sing like that, did you know?
Speaker 2: And she was super I think excited to do that
Speaker 2: because also a lot of these guest stars wanted to
Speaker 2: come on the show because a lot of people can
Speaker 2: sing and don't get the opportunity to if they're you know,
Speaker 2: movie stars or TV stars. There's not a lot of
Speaker 2: musicals going around. And so yeah, and I think she
Speaker 2: sounds great on the song.
Speaker 1: Kevin, we have to go back to the conjunction junction
Speaker 1: for just one second. Yeah, So our producers found this
Speaker 1: thing and it's like hot goss and we need to
Speaker 1: clear it up. Okay, So when Holly Holiday makes that
Speaker 1: dig about Lindsay Lohan in.
Speaker 2: This episode, oh that's a Spanish class.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Lindsay. Apparently Dina Lohan was very upset about
Speaker 1: the jab in this episode. I don't know that's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but and then there are reports that the cast made
Speaker 1: amends with Lindsay over a dinner.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a dinner. We did hang out with her.
Speaker 2: It was after the SAG Awards and we ran Everything
Speaker 2: Happens at the Chateau Chateau. Yes, I think that has
Speaker 2: to be what this is in reference to. I do
Speaker 2: think that line is mean and stupid and she didn't
Speaker 2: deserve it. But it was at that time, like everyone
Speaker 2: was just sort of ragging on Lindsay totally anything.
Speaker 1: I think it felt like anything went at that point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which which is terrible. But yeah, we she was
Speaker 2: We hung out with her, and I think she and
Speaker 2: like Chris like stayed friends for a while. They would
Speaker 2: teach to each other. Yeah, I believe so. And she was, Yeah,
Speaker 2: she was cool with us obviously, like she knows like that.
Speaker 1: Well, then she came on the show, so she was fine.
Speaker 1: I thought maybe there was a dinner with Ryan and
Speaker 1: Lindsay and that's where the lens for me.
Speaker 2: Maybe, But I just sort of assumed like maybe this
Speaker 2: is because we all hung out with her all night,
Speaker 2: like we were.
Speaker 1: Just Yeah, you guys, did where were you? I mean
Speaker 1: I was there. I didn't hang out with her.
Speaker 2: You didn't hang out with her?
Speaker 1: I mean I was there. I just didn't hang out
Speaker 1: with her.
Speaker 2: But like, why would you have been there not with us?
Speaker 1: I was. I just didn't hang out with her. I
Speaker 1: didn't engage.
Speaker 2: Did you? Did you have a beef with zy Line?
Speaker 1: Yeah? She did a photo shoot with my ex boyfriend
Speaker 1: at one point and it was very sexy and I
Speaker 1: was a fan of her and I was sure she
Speaker 1: was going to make a pass at him and neither
Speaker 1: of them cared. That's so funny, bar I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: blamed her.
Speaker 2: I should have blamed right. I completely forgot about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Lindsay and I grew up in the same town,
Speaker 1: essentially on Long Island. We used to run in the
Speaker 1: same circles and audition like for all the same things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were around. We were we grew up like acting.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think I worked with her all
Speaker 1: that much, but anyway, Wow, yeah, crazy, I know.
Speaker 2: She was always I think because like we're around the
Speaker 2: same age ish like growing up in La too, Like
Speaker 2: I started like getting snuck into clubs at like sixteen
Speaker 2: and seventeen, and that all stopped when she got caught
Speaker 2: going into clubs under age because they started putting sheriffs
Speaker 2: outside all the clubs we'd go to.
Speaker 1: She ruined it for you. Yeah, yep, okay, we digress.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so yes, Ceilia Green's.
Speaker 2: Song, which also, by the way, sorry we watched the episode.
Speaker 2: We know what happens. Do you remember at this Grammys
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to have Gwenathan and then talk her
Speaker 2: through this. Yeah, but she introduced us to Beyonce.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is where the infamous who told me
Speaker 1: that with Nia in the bathroom with me, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Because she performed with Celo. Then she and Beyonce were
Speaker 2: each other's dates at the Grammys and sat in the
Speaker 2: front row. We were in like the sixth or seventh row,
Speaker 2: and Diana were like, next commercial break, you and I
Speaker 2: are gonna make a run for it, and we weren't
Speaker 2: going to tell any of you guys because like, we
Speaker 2: can't have everybody joining us.
Speaker 1: What the hell?
Speaker 2: Well, because it was just gonna be too many people
Speaker 2: to coordinate, you know. Fair whatever, and I was like,
Speaker 2: it's Beyonce, I gotta go, and so we go, yes,
Speaker 2: and then some of you did see us and then
Speaker 2: came up and join us. But she's like, oh, do
Speaker 2: you know b and introduces us and Beyonce stands and
Speaker 2: it's just like very quiet and smiling, and Gwenna's like,
Speaker 2: are we gonna go do shots after this?
Speaker 1: Very god?
Speaker 2: And she looks at Beyonce and is like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Beyonce is also kind of short, like she looks her statures,
Speaker 1: I mean, even bigger than.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're the same height, but she wears heels
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 1: I just imagined her being twice my height. Well she is,
Speaker 1: in all fairness. But when we went to the bath yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the infamous Nia story. You went to the
Speaker 1: bathroom and I was pinning up my dress because you remember,
Speaker 1: my dress started to on face and she's putting up
Speaker 1: my dress and she's like you're in a movie, mustn't
Speaker 1: And she's like, Nia's like no, I don't think. So
Speaker 1: Nia is literally on the floor at this point, like
Speaker 1: fixing my dress and she's like no. She's like are
Speaker 1: you sure, And I was like yeah, yeah, told me that.
Speaker 3: And we both walked down the bathroom. We were like,
Speaker 3: did she turned to somebody? She turned to like a
Speaker 3: random person that was at the sink and goes, do
Speaker 3: you tell me that? And my sister is in the
Speaker 3: bathroom with you guys. I was the I don't know
Speaker 3: where the other boys were.
Speaker 2: It was only me. We were at an after party.
Speaker 2: And I come out of the bathroom and I'm sitting
Speaker 2: there and there's nobody around, and I look up and
Speaker 2: it's just Jay Z and his bodyguard. And I immediately
Speaker 2: just looked down in my lap, like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: oh my We had met him before through Gwyneth, but anyway, right,
Speaker 2: So then my sister comes out. She goes, oh my god,
Speaker 2: do you know what just happened?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 2: I was with Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce and they're fixing
Speaker 2: somebody's stress. And then Beyonce asked me for mints, because
Speaker 2: I was taking out these mints and I was giving
Speaker 2: my sister a shit all night for having these mints
Speaker 2: because I think they were making her breath worse, and
Speaker 2: because she kept eating them because she was so nervous.
Speaker 2: And then Beyonce asked for mince, and my sister's like
Speaker 2: you can have all of them, which I would have
Speaker 2: said to.
Speaker 1: God, it was great, what a what a great memory
Speaker 1: one Grammy experience. Ever, no, that's not true. We went
Speaker 1: to the Grammys after that?
Speaker 2: No we didn't.
Speaker 1: Yes, we did.
Speaker 2: I did well.
Speaker 1: We didn't go for Glee. Why do we not go?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Do I have the memories of Happy?
Speaker 2: Are you sure, Jenna? We only go to the Grammys
Speaker 2: and were nominated?
Speaker 1: That's fair?
Speaker 2: So okay, Holly Holliday is obviously killing it with all
Speaker 2: of us. We love it, we love.
Speaker 1: Her, Sue loves her.
Speaker 2: Sue's having a grand old time, gay old time with
Speaker 2: Holly Holiday, and Rachel is like, hey, shu, like this
Speaker 2: girl's coming for your job. You need to come back
Speaker 2: because you're not gonna have a job to come back to,
Speaker 2: and so he starts to get paranoid, rightfully so, because
Speaker 2: Sue fires him and hires Holly full time, which brings
Speaker 2: them to a full confrontation, and Holly's like, look, there's
Speaker 2: not a lot of good jobs out there, and I
Speaker 2: need the job. In the meantime, what Holly has done
Speaker 2: has also won over Rachel a bit, because she's like, yo,
Speaker 2: you suck. You're a total drag. Has anyone ever told
Speaker 2: you that? And Buck's like I have, and Rachel realizes
Speaker 2: there was an uptempo number that she's always wanted to
Speaker 2: do that. I love all these you know, whips to shoe,
Speaker 2: trying to find another Journey song that we haven't done yet.
Speaker 2: And then they do this big Chicago number which was
Speaker 2: insane and grazing. Do you remember watching that?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, yeah, I remember being happy. I was in
Speaker 1: the audience the same, not really remembering watching them, but
Speaker 1: then also being like, oh my god, they really made
Speaker 1: both of these girls work really hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then also like budget, are we talking about
Speaker 2: the sparks flying off on?
Speaker 1: I know, I mean for Gwyneth, you bring budget? Okay, yeah, obviously,
Speaker 1: I mean Gwyneth was the budget, but also you bring budget.
Speaker 2: I always did wonder like how much the guest stars
Speaker 2: got paid.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it varied, probably, I don't think it was.
Speaker 2: We have Will be that information, never especially not give
Speaker 2: her the entire budget.
Speaker 1: But meanwhile, while while Will is home and Holly is
Speaker 1: taking basically taking care of the glee club, he is
Speaker 1: being taken care of by one and only Terry Schuster.
Speaker 1: And as crazy as Terry is. She knows Will, and
Speaker 1: she brings some soup. She rubs his chest with the vapors.
Speaker 1: The baby voice just it makes me very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it because it's so good.
Speaker 1: Right, So at something, Will's like, get out of here,
Speaker 1: don't come back, But she comes back.
Speaker 2: Oh share of him in many ways.
Speaker 1: She also gives him Singing in the Rain to watch,
Speaker 1: which leads us to his little fever dream of this
Speaker 1: wonderful number, very random, wonderful number between him and Harry,
Speaker 1: which okay, let's talk about this number.
Speaker 2: It's so random and out of place.
Speaker 1: But great, very exciting to watch. First of all, this
Speaker 1: number starts and I'm like, oh right, this is the
Speaker 1: Singing and the Rain number from this episode. I remember this.
Speaker 1: And then I looked to my the left of the
Speaker 1: screen and I go, is that Tina, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's not me, that's a crew girl. Okay, it's Tina.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember you being a part of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I wish I did, because I don't remember being.
Speaker 2: Well you didn't have like a lot comparatively.
Speaker 1: Yes, But I genuinely looked at the screen and said,
Speaker 1: is that Tina.
Speaker 2: I mean there's been a few times I've done that
Speaker 2: since we've been doing this podcast.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair, this is the first one where I was
Speaker 1: alarmed at the fact that I don't remember being there.
Speaker 2: It's a very scary. It's imagine if you're out at a
Speaker 2: night and you have a little too much to drink,
Speaker 2: and then someone shows you a photo from that night
Speaker 2: a decade later, and you're like, I wasn't there. I
Speaker 2: left at the first bar.
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like about the fun of the alcohol. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait a second, and then I see you,
Speaker 1: and I see all the other like, okay, other people
Speaker 1: are there. Okay, Yeah I was there. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: remember being there.
Speaker 2: But if we didn't have to like do anything, we
Speaker 2: really sort of checked out.
Speaker 1: I don't think we were in a lot actually, to
Speaker 1: be fair, I don't think we were in a lot
Speaker 1: of the shots. So I don't think we're actually even
Speaker 1: on the stage.
Speaker 2: We weren't. Yeah, we were making sure, yeah, cool, you're fine, Okay, cool.
Speaker 1: Where were we? Okay? So he's doing singing in the
Speaker 1: rain and then him and Terry. Terry comes back is
Speaker 1: taking care of him again, and somehow they end up
Speaker 1: canodling and one word for it. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: don't do it.
Speaker 2: This is the start of the vapor rub.
Speaker 1: Gosh, it's the beginning and the end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Terry's vapor rub walked so your vapor rub could run.
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure why she was there or why
Speaker 1: that happened, but it gave something for Will, let's give it.
Speaker 1: It moved Will's thing along, his whole little sick storyline along.
Speaker 1: And then Rachel come, yes, and Rachel comes and she says,
Speaker 1: you got to come back. She had a mask, which
Speaker 1: also is very COVID PTSD.
Speaker 2: But I also, you know what happened shortly after too,
Speaker 2: is that we get we're going to talk about the
Speaker 2: Mercedes and thoughts, but you know, Mercedes gets in trouble
Speaker 2: for doing something now that Holly's the full time teacher,
Speaker 2: and Holly's like, oh, I don't know how to do this.
Speaker 2: Actually I've accepted this job. I don't know how to
Speaker 2: do it, and then goes over to Schuster's house and
Speaker 2: has this really great scene. They're really great together, and
Speaker 2: she's upset and she's vulnerable and opening up having a
Speaker 2: really adult, meaningful conversation. Terry shows up today is like ooh, drama,
Speaker 2: and Will kicks her out seemingly for good, for good.
Speaker 1: For good, right, and your wife is a bitch? Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: I think seemingly this is.
Speaker 2: The Yeah, it seems like that. So the other thing
Speaker 2: that's happening this episode is Kurt Blaine and Mercedes. Kurt
Speaker 2: is you know, becoming closer with Blaine, spending every waking
Speaker 2: second with him. Basically, they have all these plans, and
Speaker 2: the person who is getting the brunt of the dereliction
Speaker 2: basically a friendship, is Mercedes, because Kurt now sees Blaine
Speaker 2: sort of as his new BFF in a way, and
Speaker 2: Mercedes is like put out the pasture. Basically, she's like,
Speaker 2: well what about me?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: And she keeps trying to make plans and she's like
Speaker 2: not excited for him. And meanwhile we see that she
Speaker 2: loves the Tater Tots and.
Speaker 1: I was wondering why the tots came in that scene.
Speaker 1: I was like, why are they using Mercedes and food
Speaker 1: right now? Like what is this this thing?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But then I was like, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2: So Sue decides as part of her you know, principal campaign,
Speaker 2: reforming the school was reforming the children's diets and taking
Speaker 2: away the tots, and Mercedes is not happy about it,
Speaker 2: loses it. I mean they get taken away. She's upset.
Speaker 2: She goes on a She's basically the third wheel on
Speaker 2: that date with Kurt and Blaine, and Kurt's trying to
Speaker 2: include her and she is ordering the tots, and Kurt,
Speaker 2: you know, tries to set her up with somebody, and
Speaker 2: Mercedes like, is it just because he's black? Like everything
Speaker 2: you're naming is just black activities. He's one of five
Speaker 2: black people at this school. And Kurt sort of kind
Speaker 2: and Kurt you know, gives it to her straight and
Speaker 2: it's like, I think you're replacing me.
Speaker 1: With the food, right and or something? Yes, And because
Speaker 1: she brings a box of tots to Scores.
Speaker 2: She brings I do love when she stands up in
Speaker 2: the cafeteria and does that. I don't know the movie
Speaker 2: it's from. It's like Sally Field with the Union sign.
Speaker 2: It's very that and everybody stands up and screams tis
Speaker 2: Chris is shocked by the I just love seeing them together.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then Mercedes stuffs Suit's car exhaust with tots
Speaker 3: her let car.
Speaker 1: And Holly Holliday is brought in, and I'm not only
Speaker 1: sure why Shoe or Holly Holiday are brought in with
Speaker 1: the child. It's as if like glee Club is the
Speaker 1: like the mecca, and like we have like a guidance counsel.
Speaker 2: That's a fair point, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Accepted it?
Speaker 1: But why because we need a voice of reason against
Speaker 1: Sue because kids can't talk back to adults.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Mercedes can't talk back to Sue where she'll just get expelled.
Speaker 2: Teacher is sort of our voice.
Speaker 1: But I just thought that was funny. There's always like
Speaker 1: one of them in there, and Holliday. This is where
Speaker 1: Holly realizes that this is kind of out of her
Speaker 1: capacity and she just doesn't she doesn't know actually know
Speaker 1: what she's doing. And when in serious moments like this,
Speaker 1: she's tank, got no bold, I don't know, take got
Speaker 1: no bulb?
Speaker 2: Sorry, that was an old joke where used.
Speaker 1: To It's a very old joke. You brought right back.
Speaker 2: So Mercedes is going to get stuck with the bill,
Speaker 2: the thirteen thousand dollars bill or whatever of fixing this car,
Speaker 2: and Holly is like, is this on me? Am? I
Speaker 2: going to jail? And then that's when she shows up
Speaker 2: at place and it's like, right out of my depth,
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do this. And then it's
Speaker 2: also when Sue realizes Holly is not a capable teacher
Speaker 2: in this way. Great as a substitute, but we need
Speaker 2: Shoe back as well. So everybody wants to Shoe back,
Speaker 2: and because she likes a good foe and Holly's not
Speaker 2: a good enough vote for her at all. Right, that's right,
Speaker 2: and I yeah, does it ever fully get resolved? I
Speaker 2: think they just sort of.
Speaker 1: Just I think that she has to repair it, and
Speaker 1: that's basically it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But then we get to all roads lead
Speaker 2: to this pool of water on the auditorium stage.
Speaker 1: Right, and so yeah, Will realizes that when he's back
Speaker 1: that they could the kids actually do really miss holiday
Speaker 1: and they really love them. So he's like, okay, can
Speaker 1: you help me make up this this number and modernize
Speaker 1: singing in the ring because we all hate it and
Speaker 1: I remember the Okay, first of all, the the umbrellas
Speaker 1: were an issue. These umbrellas were not meant to be
Speaker 1: opened and closed every two.
Speaker 2: Seconds, and everything was an issue with this number.
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, all right, let's just say it. Some people
Speaker 1: really love this number, and I will say watching it,
Speaker 1: I was like, this looks really cool.
Speaker 2: It looks great filming it. Nightmare never hated anything more.
Speaker 1: Actually, so what they did, okay, what the box say? Okay,
Speaker 1: So there was like a foot a box on the
Speaker 1: stage and it was about a foot high, I mean
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not even on each side, like it was
Speaker 1: very short and loaded the ground. And then it was
Speaker 1: covered in like some kind of vinyl or something. And
Speaker 1: then they put water in it.
Speaker 2: And carpet like according to it because now we've talked
Speaker 2: to Andrew and Ryan about this, right, I think there
Speaker 2: was sort of a carpet in there so we wouldn't slip.
Speaker 1: That's right. They did put the carpet in there, that's right.
Speaker 1: And I remember rehearsing this, and I don't think we
Speaker 1: rehearsed with the actually umbrellas. So first of all, there's
Speaker 1: a problem there because these umbrellas were not prop dance
Speaker 1: umbrellas that were meant to open and close a thousand times,
Speaker 1: and in the choreography you can't really tell we are
Speaker 1: opening and closing them a thousand times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or so crediting happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like the least of our problems. Though.
Speaker 1: This water on the stage did not belong.
Speaker 2: It did not belong, and we didn't even know. That's
Speaker 2: just from our perspective. We didn't even know all the
Speaker 2: other stuff was going on that Ryan and Andrew told
Speaker 2: us about in their episodes, so you can go back
Speaker 2: and listen to those if you haven't right. But because
Speaker 2: one of them, Andrew said there was an issue with
Speaker 2: the carpet, and then Ryan wanted it all cleaned out
Speaker 2: because it got all moldy from the water being in
Speaker 2: there too long. It was we had clear right and
Speaker 2: didn't want to put us at risk, but then there
Speaker 2: were SuDS in there from cleaning the carpet, so they yes.
Speaker 1: Right. And the water, so basically what they told us
Speaker 1: was kick up as much water as you can get
Speaker 1: in the air so that when we shoot forty eight
Speaker 1: frames is when they shoot in double time, so it
Speaker 1: looks really slow in the water, like slow motion. And
Speaker 1: they told us to kick it so people are really
Speaker 1: getting in there and it's getting in our faces. And
Speaker 1: by the end of the number one take of the number,
Speaker 1: our rain boots had water up at our shins. Just
Speaker 1: you'd take your shoe off and pour the water out,
Speaker 1: and it was so I couldn't see. I remember acting
Speaker 1: to see and then being scared I was going to
Speaker 1: get hit by an umbrella and it was Ryan gretting.
Speaker 1: So you don't like, don't want to complain. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you were loaded the ground, Jenna, you were also in
Speaker 1: the corner.
Speaker 2: If you go watch this number, I don't move. After
Speaker 2: I do my little jaz thing, I come forward and
Speaker 2: then I'm as far back in that right corner as
Speaker 2: possible because yeah, I couldn't see. I was wearing glasses
Speaker 2: and actually need them. Oh and I was at waste level,
Speaker 2: So everyone's intentionally kicking water up to the height of
Speaker 2: my face. And because I'm sitting, it's all collecting in
Speaker 2: my lap. And that water might have been warm when
Speaker 2: it got put in the box, and by the time
Speaker 2: it's sitting there and it's getting kicked up and exposed
Speaker 2: to the air, it's no longer warm. And the seat,
Speaker 2: my clothes, everything was just soaking, like stopping wet. And
Speaker 2: I just sat in there for what I mean, half
Speaker 2: a day. I was so miserable. I'm not even like
Speaker 2: dancing you. I'm barely on the edge of frame, like
Speaker 2: in three shots. I think I was trying to find
Speaker 2: myself because all I remember is the feeling. But I'm
Speaker 2: barely even in the number, and I think I had
Speaker 2: just given up, like I was like, I have no
Speaker 2: will to perform. I can't do it. You couldn't see
Speaker 2: my eyes anyway, so I think I might have just
Speaker 2: been like moving my arms just because like what am
Speaker 2: I gonna do? Also, it was really hard to wheel
Speaker 2: across like the water locked carpet, and so no one
Speaker 2: could really push me around because everyone had a prop.
Speaker 2: So oh my god, that's right. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Oh no.
Speaker 2: People do love that number, and every time someone says it,
Speaker 2: I have to check myself, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, blocked it out? Really cool.
Speaker 2: It's also weird that like Holly and Will are performing
Speaker 2: with the gleek clip.
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't know, but who can have a Gwyneth
Speaker 1: number at the end? But I did see. I remember
Speaker 1: looking at the stage on in the episode last night
Speaker 1: when I was watching it and thinking like, oh, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't really know how they did that, And I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I get how people really like that looks really cool.
Speaker 2: The rain's coming down in the back like it.
Speaker 1: Looks Remember that part, but it didn't even matter. It
Speaker 1: was really not fun.
Speaker 2: No, But I mean the people who actually the crew
Speaker 2: members who actually to figure out how to do it
Speaker 2: and did it and then to drain it and redo.
Speaker 1: Like I'm also, Gwyneth didn't complain for once. Second.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. Gwyneth never complained about anything. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know how much you're being paid, so maybe
Speaker 2: I wouldn't either. But yeah, Gwyneth. Also, you know, we
Speaker 2: were constantly learning when we have guest stars and you
Speaker 2: have these famous people, and watching her was an education
Speaker 2: because she did not complain. If she was off camera,
Speaker 2: she would do full out everything, every dance move, like
Speaker 2: in that Chicago number when they were doing our reactions,
Speaker 2: she still did that heart wheel at the end of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she had her heels on, she did the whole thing.
Speaker 1: She did do it for us.
Speaker 2: She was and that was a real lesson and this
Speaker 2: is how you are professional pro Yeah, I remember, We'll
Speaker 2: get to it later. But like when she did turning
Speaker 2: tables in another episode, that was also an education, like, oh,
Speaker 2: she's good, but.
Speaker 1: I forgot she did that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, remind me when we get to it to tell
Speaker 2: that story.
Speaker 3: But she.
Speaker 2: The best.
Speaker 1: It wasn't it was a journey this episode. I liked
Speaker 1: this episode though, Yeah, yeah, well I really enjoyed.
Speaker 2: It minus said lendsay Alwan jokes. I thought it was
Speaker 2: a really good episode for sure.
Speaker 1: Well that's that's a substitute. Should we do some tarty takes.
Speaker 2: Let's do some tarty takes.
Speaker 1: Come on, so cringe moments? Okay, aw cheese? What do
Speaker 1: you think, Kevin?
Speaker 2: I have two it's the Lindsay Lowen references. And I
Speaker 2: think also Holly Holidays bipolar rant thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, not great. While while her Mary Todd Lincoln impression
Speaker 1: was very funny, the joke itself about the bipolar was
Speaker 1: not funny. Yeah, all of her montages that were very
Speaker 1: funny or her like little classroom moments. Uh.
Speaker 2: Best dance, I mean singing in the rain, I guess
Speaker 2: has to be.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I gotta say Harry and Annett, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: doing all those crazy backflips, they really did that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Okay, you win.
Speaker 1: Thanks. I always do best song.
Speaker 2: Forget you. Yeah, And I do have to say, you
Speaker 2: know this happened in the last episode with you singing
Speaker 2: during the girls mashup. Naya is singing her face off
Speaker 2: in his ad libs and is not covered for a
Speaker 2: single one of them, not for a moment. No, but
Speaker 2: on tour, the live version, you get to see her
Speaker 2: singing it and singing it live, and she sounds incredible.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, I forgot about that too. Yeah. Best
Speaker 1: performance by a prop I think the tots, absolutely the tots.
Speaker 1: Not the water bucket that we are dancing in. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Best line.
Speaker 2: My favorite line is when Mercedes is at Breadsticks with
Speaker 2: curtain Blaine. This here gay gay gay gay gay gay
Speaker 2: gay gay gay. I hope my mouth and little purse
Speaker 2: balls out. How did that get in there?
Speaker 1: I love that. Obsessed with that, It's very funny. I
Speaker 1: have another one. Yes, when Will says when I'm sick,
Speaker 1: there's only one thing that makes me feel better, and
Speaker 1: already says, and it's really the delivery.
Speaker 2: It was so random, it's so weird.
Speaker 1: It was very funny. It's very very funny.
