This was a really 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: monumental episode for us personally. I think off screen, this 9 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: episode changed UM the game for us in a lot 10 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: of ways. I think it was the introduction of UM 11 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: the first sort of like very famous. We had Victor 12 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: Garber before and Josh Grobin, but the introduction of the 13 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: guest star coming on too like showca ace their abilities, 14 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: hanging out in the glee in the in the room 15 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: with the kids and everything like. This was our first 16 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: real UM peek in and it was a It came 17 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: out with a doozy. It was a doozy and Christian 18 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: channel with also was the perfect person to break that ice, 19 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: to be the first person to do that, because she 20 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: is just a ball of sunshine and as what a 21 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: joy I mean, what a joy. Can't say enough great 22 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: things about her. Um. This also was monumental for us 23 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: because it was the first time we ever did a 24 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: musical number with all twelve Glee Club members. Yes, so 25 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: this was a big one for us. And this includes 26 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: my one of my all time favorite Glee performances ever, 27 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: which is the finale of this episode, which we'll get 28 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: to um. And it was, Yeah, we get to we 29 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: get to be with everybody. Yeah, it was the first 30 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: like even though as an invitational it's not an official 31 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: competent Asian yet. Um, it was the first time we 32 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: get into that format of things, you know, the big 33 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: risers on stage doing all the proper show choir, choreography. Um. 34 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: And just as you know, the audience and the Glee 35 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: Club on TV are learning that. That was a first 36 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: for us, and so it was it's sort of set 37 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: the groundwork, you know, for the next six seasons. Also, 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: speaking of choreography, this, we have a really funny story 39 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: about this episode and the number we did, the first 40 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: number we did with christ and Channawi. Um, do you 41 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: remember Kevin when we rehearsed, we had to rehearse the 42 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: dance on stage that they had just like slicked the 43 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: stage with some kind of polish, and we had our 44 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: cowboy boots on which we were sliding all over the place. 45 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: It was a bit of a nightmare. We've gotten a 46 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: lot of trouble. Um, let's get to it, Jenna, I 47 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't remember that because I was in a wheelchair over 48 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: the place. It was also the other time, it was 49 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: humbling because we had spent you know, just like we 50 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: had spent a month learning push it, we had spent 51 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: a good portion of that time as well learning class name, 52 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: and it took the glee kids, you know, like two 53 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: weeks or something to learn it. Kristen comes in, learns 54 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: it in maybe forty five minutes. She probably shorter. I 55 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: think she looked at it once and was like it. 56 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: Zach would be the choreographer, like, showed her her track 57 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: of the number, showed her the you know, a couple 58 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: of eight counts of what's like okay. Well, that day 59 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: also was really big because Chris and I were huge 60 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: Broadway fans obviously, and I was. Kristen was like the 61 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: mecca at the time. You know, she had just finished 62 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: Wicked Um and you know, she's christ and channawick. So 63 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: we were very excited, and I remember having a nickname 64 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: for her, a password for her. Her name was um Cupcakes. 65 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: Were waiting in the tin shed and we're waiting, and 66 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: we're waiting. We're like, oh my god, she's coming. She's 67 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: coming down New York Street. She's going to come from 68 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: here and freaking out her Christmas freaking and we were like, 69 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: we got we need like prep.

But she 72 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: came in and she was so warm and welcoming and 73 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: made us feel like we were all best friends. And 74 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: you know, to this day, we are just so grateful 75 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: to have her as our very first big star. She 76 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: treats us like family, which is, you know, as a 77 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: bunch of people who hadn't done too much um and 78 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: you have this incredibly successful Broadway legend in your midst too, 79 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: UM welcome us as we're welcoming her like that into 80 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: her world.

So we go to April rohods Is home, 180 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: only to find her there drunk, drinking out of a 181 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: plastic cup and a cracked open a box of wine. 182 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: And at eleven, I am giving a comedic performance for 183 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: the gods. I mean, just no other way to open 184 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: up and welcome a character, and then the way she 185 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: did it, and it sets us on her journey for 186 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: the episode that April Rhodes is a bit of she 187 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: needs help, she needs some guidance. She's lost her way 188 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: since high school, and with Will's guidance, Will takes it 189 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: upon himself to one manipulate her to getting in the 190 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: glee club, to help the glee club, but also along 191 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: the way finding some heart and trying to help her 192 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: get her life back on track. And then we find 193 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: that she's squatting. Yeah, it's not her house, she's a squatter. 194 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I actually, Um, when I read 195 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: the script, was like, what's a squatter? I didn't know. 196 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: I don't remember reading the script because I can't read. 197 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm the one who can't read. Um, that's why you 198 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: flipped through the pages. You learned how to read already. 199 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta be honest. At some points we 200 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: would just flip through the script at the end of 201 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: and just look for our lines, and sometimes Kevin I 202 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: would be like, well, we got two offensive this one. 203 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: This one, this episode, we'll have to have jam on 204 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: because Jamie and I once and we were shooting. We 205 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: were having a battle of who was the most expensive 206 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: extra bet the two of us. Oh, I don't know 207 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: what I gotta see. Probably it was definitely it was 208 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: you were me and but she was saying that episode, 209 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: she was like, I have one line, and I'm like, 210 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: I have to but I guarantee one. I was going 211 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: to get cut get it and it did. Um. So 212 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: April gets kicked out of the house, right, She gets 213 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: kicked out of the squatterhouse, and Will says he's going 214 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: to get her sobered up and find her some underwear 215 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: because yeah, and he gets her. He reminds her that 216 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: she didn't finish high school so he can re enroll 217 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: her into high school and that serves the purpose of 218 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: getting her second chance, but also getting her in Glee 219 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: club and making the new directions win and happy. So 220 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: he introduced him to the new directions. That's where there's 221 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: the brilliant scene of her. Um, they don't really love 222 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: her right the first she does maybe this time to 223 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: try to impress them, which, by the way, maybe this time. 224 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: I think I probably listened to this Glee cast version 225 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: track more than any other songs that we really what 226 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: I think it is so good before. Did I not 227 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: know this before? You had to watch it? For this 228 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: episode of doing this, I've looked ahead just to watch 229 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: this number first. I just I I remember UM one. 230 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: I think the the duet of it is really great. 231 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: I think they both sound incredible, and they're both doing 232 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: it in completely different styles, which is nice. But there 233 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: was something special about again watching someone do what they're 234 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: good at is so much fun and feels so good 235 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: as an audience member, and we were just audience members 236 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: in that scene. And then it was the first time 237 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: we'd use that spotlight and it came and we're like, 238 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: because we didn't know that was going to happen when 239 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: I first the first time. We kept switching back and 240 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: forth as well, kind of like like you said, you 241 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: know that that duet version, that kind of thing on 242 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: the stage in the choir room. There were a lot 243 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: of first in this episode, and that the spotlight gets 244 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: used a lot more in the choir room going forward. 245 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: Gravity Yeah, yeah, And Kristen is it was so strange 246 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: because you're when you've already re recorded the song, your 247 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: lips singing when you're shooting it. She was saying, she 248 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: was singing, and she was so meticulous in her She 249 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: wanted her I kept I remembered she kept talking about 250 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: in between takes, so she wanted her lip sync to 251 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: be correct. So she was singing with it, but she 252 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: wanted to match exactly. Well, she's she's a huge star 253 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: at this point, she's playing, you know, doing a first 254 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: guest star on the show. She actually does sing, and 255 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of controversy I think on 256 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: the show, going like are people singing? Are they not singing? 257 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: How because some of the lipstick lipstick lip syncing was 258 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: a little bit awesome. People are better at it than others, 259 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: and they always said to us Tim Davis always saying like, 260 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: the more you sing, the more real it's going to 261 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: look because of your breath and the way that you 262 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: sing it and and just all of it. Write your 263 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: performance in general, so yes, you're I do remember her 264 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: being very specific about it, but also um, just her 265 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: performance in general was just like that's how it's done. 266 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: Put that in your pipe and smoke it. And Chris 267 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: was crying as was real, and it just felt like 268 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: a shift where it felt aspirational in a way of 269 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, where these bands of band of Misfits we 270 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: did push it a couple of weeks before we're comedy, 271 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: we're having fun, and then she comes in there with 272 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: like the big guns and shows you what's possible and 273 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. It was, and we didn't see 274 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: Leah's version of it, so the first time we ever 275 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: saw that was when the episode of screened for us, 276 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: and so I just, yeah, that number is ingrained seared 277 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: my memory so interesting it is for me as well. 278 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: I just didn't realize you listened to it as much. Um, 279 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: you know you had heard maybe this time before. I hadn't. 280 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: This is my version of the song. Yeah. I only 281 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: saw Cabaret for the first time last month. Oh god. Okay, yeah, 282 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: well anyway, I mean not that you got to see it. Yeah. 283 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: And it's also like Kristen was so good she came 284 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: back four more times, you know what I mean. Like 285 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: this was the first of an arc of April Road. 286 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: April Roads, Okay. So um, I had a really fun 287 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: time shooting with Kristen and her teaching us how to 288 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: steal steal things and we had to walk with lettuce 289 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: between our legs and meat and it was really weird. 290 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: But it was like that one of the highlights of 291 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: my life. I remember you and Amber coming back and 292 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: just saying how much fun you had shooting that scene. 293 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: You were cracking up the entire time. So funny, and 294 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: then us in like our jewels, it's really funny anyway. Um, 295 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: so that's the big storyline. And then be kind of 296 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: the storyline the best Frylon kind of goes along with this, 297 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: a storyline of Will bringing April Roads into the mix. Um, 298 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: we have Finn with his motives, going to try and 299 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: get Rachel back into the glee club.

So they have a really cute date 310 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: and and then they kiss and we get to see 311 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: the beginning of Rachel and Finn, and I say that 312 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: all the time, but like we just get segmented things 313 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: from them because it's there's there's Quinn, who's still in 314 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: the mix. Yeah, and and he's this is like one 315 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: of a three pronged approach to manipulating her into but 316 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: also maybe I think he likes her as well, Like, 317 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: let's be real, this is you know, he's getting getting 318 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,719 Speaker 1: good stuff out of this.

It's just where the different motive, Yeah, 323 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: exactly what makes it so convincing, you know. And so 324 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: he eventually does convince her to come back to the 325 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: glee club, but that's when everyone discovers that Quinn is 326 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: actually pregnant, and now Puck like, who do you think 327 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: it is? Yeah, and Rachel feels bamboozled because she was, 328 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: and then she walks out again. And I got to 329 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: say that slap was jarring and prease like non reaction. 330 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: I was like, that sounded really loud.

You're like, that doesn't make 335 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: up for the vomiting. We're very naive, I will say, 336 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: Tina Artie and I do have to say that. Um. 337 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: There are I think two moments in this episode where 338 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: Naya doesn't speak, but her reactions to things that I 339 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: think Rachel that Leah is doing are so good. I 340 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: think I almost did a spittake in my house watching 341 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: this yesterday because she just hates her like Santana hates 342 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: everything Rachel does. And I was like, you know, we 343 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily know what everybody was doing, but how good 344 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: and I it was for just being able to do 345 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: a look and make you lose it just just so 346 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: good the best. Um. We also get to go back 347 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: to April and Shoe. They're having this. He's sort of 348 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: doing what Finn is doing right where he's manipulating um 349 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: April with the guys of getting her life back on track, 350 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: but really he just wants her to be the start 351 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: of the League Club, but they have a little wonderful 352 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: duet moment your favorite, I know. I turned to David 353 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: and I was like, why is this song so bad 354 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: but so good? I love this number. I love this song. 355 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: I was actually kind of upset that they got to 356 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: do it, even though they did it better, because I 357 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: was like, that's one of the numbers I would have 358 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: wanted to do on the show, but it would have 359 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: made no sense. That was also at the bowling alley, right, No, 360 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: it was always the bulling, but a back room, like 361 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: a back room, lots of manipulation going out of the 362 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: bowling alley. These men cannot be trusted. No, No, typical. 363 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: And of course Emma through this all, is like okay, well, 364 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: she's like the moral compass of this episode, being like 365 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: I see right through you and I'm really glad that 366 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: you care for these kids, which really takes a dagger 367 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: to the heart because April has taught all these kids 368 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: bad things and is an alcoholic and I was also 369 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: taught Kurt drink that. Okay, so this scene, oh bamy is. 370 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: I remember watching the scene being filmed and like all 371 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: of us cracking up behind the monitor because it was 372 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: so good. So so good. Um, and of course am 373 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: I going to the emergency room ticket wipe down? Oh band? 374 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: They had croft so hard when I was humped, shot 375 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: your mommy the way they the way Ian could really 376 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: just prey on all of our physical He always said, UM, 377 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: and he always said it's the sincerest form of flattery. 378 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: I have a hard time believe in that, but coming 379 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: from Ian, no, I know it's I it's in UM. 380 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: And then we get to uh, we get to uh, 381 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: then the Invitational, which is super exciting. We're on the stage, 382 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: we're performing with April Rhodes and her bright pink outfit, 383 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: and um, that number ended up looking just fine. It did. 384 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: It looked actually very clean. Maybe this a couple of 385 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: minutes of pause to rehearse really worked and a little 386 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: sprat and on the floor and didn't hurt anybody. Now 387 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: do you have the like as clear of memory as 388 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: I do as filming these scenes. Yeah, like filming the two, 389 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: filming right the numbers and in the moments right before 390 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: that's right, we were in that room and it was 391 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: again like the first time all of us were in 392 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: the choir room together shooting these big like scenes without singing, 393 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: where everybody had lines and reactions, and so we had 394 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: to get all these different this different coverage on everybody, 395 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: and it was like the first time we were all 396 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: kind of hanging out. So I think that's why it 397 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: was really so um at the forefront of our minds. 398 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: That's true. And what you should know is that every 399 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: single time we did a scene in the choir room, 400 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: there were at least twelve of us and we had 401 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: to do coverage. That means the camera would have to 402 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: shoot each of us several times through. So these scenes 403 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: took four Ever. We were living in that choir room 404 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: right this all day, all night. But Kristen was so 405 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: much fun and her coming in there, I mean, our 406 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: reactions are sort of we're just trying to keep it 407 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: together the entire time because she's making us laugh and 408 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: her her vocal warm ups. So then we go into 409 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: we we do last name, and it's great name. I 410 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: learned the choreography myself, I still do it, featured in 411 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 1: it even though and also her. Finally, I have this 412 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: picture and I got to try and find it of 413 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: us in rehearsal, and I think there were wigs in 414 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: the room for some reason. Yeah, right, And we were 415 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: wearing wigs in the rehearsal room and she was standing 416 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: on the chair. I don't know. I got to find 417 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: the photo. Um. And we do it. And then and 418 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: then Will realizes he can't keep this Sharrad up. Emma 419 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: was right, yeah, yeah, and he's got to get April 420 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: out of there. And she makes it really easy for 421 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: him and says, you know, didn't feel right up there, 422 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, but even though it felt right, I mean, 423 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: it looked right, it sounded right. I sure enjoyed it. 424 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: It's absolutely incredible. What a great version of that song 425 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: she can. She goes from singing cabaret maybe this is 426 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: the country yeah, and switches up the style and kills it. 427 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: She's it's sounded um. And then and then Will tells 428 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: he's breaking the news to the glee club that we're 429 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: probably not going back out and you know, that's it. 430 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: And and then Rachel comes in and offers to play 431 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: the understudy. Which this is where you need to mark 432 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: Nya's reaction. Go to the scene, everyone and get hurt 433 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: dog your reaction to the face of disgust. It's very good. Um. 434 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: This number meant a lot to us personally. It is 435 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: the number we performed everywhere, did it at the Upfront 436 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: to New York City on OPRAH, we did it on tour. 437 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: It was our finale on tour or our Encore, Encore, 438 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: thank you on tour. And and if you find this photo, 439 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: if you like, look up google this photo. Um it's 440 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: like Corey in the spotlight and it's it's chilling for me. Um. Also, 441 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: we used to we all used to um imitate Corey's 442 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: opening can and when he did it. When I watched 443 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: on the show, it brings back so many memories because 444 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: every day on tour would be like we'd all sing ki. 445 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: I forgot about that. And Marco, my bff and ex boyfriend, 446 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: he watched this episode with me because because he was around, 447 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: like he remembers everything from the time and Corey started 448 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: singing can, he bursts out laughing. I forgot because we 449 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: used to give Corey ship for the fun. May I 450 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: sang all of that too with the number last night 451 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: when I watched it, it's so true's and we had 452 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: um this isn't the days too when we had more 453 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: time in the recording studio. The full recording version, I 454 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: think the songs sort of split up into quarters and 455 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: Amber and I sing like half the song basically, but 456 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, my parts are all cut for the TV edit, 457 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: which is fine, it served no purpose. And um, I 458 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: remember going in there and being really scared about this 459 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: number because I hadn't really had to sing yet, like 460 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: singing I Freddie Mercury's my favorite singer of all time, 461 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't think yeah, And I 462 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: really wanted to impress Adam Ander's I wanted to make 463 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: sure like they hired the right guy. You know. I 464 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: was still scared this whole time, and um, it was 465 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: such a moment of discovery for all of us when 466 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: Amber and I were like hanging out in our trailers 467 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: before had to record this, talking about what we were 468 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: going to do, and because Freddie Mercury for that big 469 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: moment and does a huge run, and Amber was like, 470 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't know what to do. I 471 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna try this. Maybe I should try that, 472 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: what do you think? And then I happened to Sam 473 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why be there when she was recording it, 474 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: and Adam Anders just had her try several different things, 475 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: and everything she tried was unreal. Sometimes it was just 476 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: one long note. Sometimes she did a run. Then she 477 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: she made up the and that's how iconic to like, 478 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: she made up what it ultimately became. And it was 479 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: so much fun because yeah, I mean and for me 480 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: it was the first time I got to really push 481 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: myself vocally. Yeah, it's you all sound real good on it. 482 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Um And and this this was really precise, and we 483 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: rehearsed this for a while, but I remember us getting 484 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: this one really quickly, Like I remember us like there 485 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: was a lot of rehearsal, but it also felt like 486 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: this one kind of clicked for some reason. I never 487 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: knew it properly because I was playing guitar and it originally, 488 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: and then when we started having to do this for 489 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: live performances in it they put me and I couldn't 490 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: pick it up for some I think, I think because 491 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: everyone else knew it and I was so behind and 492 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: I had a Yeah, I didn't know those backgrounds and 493 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: to dance at the same time were really difficult and 494 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: I could not get it together. I was I was 495 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: so mad. And this song did really well on the charts. 496 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: It did, and it just I think, Um, the song 497 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: also I think just celebrates what we were doing at 498 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: the time. And it felt like family and the song 499 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: felt like that. It felt like a community experience. Yeah, 500 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: this one is one of my favorites, hands down. And 501 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: also we get the good old the Glee gay hand 502 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,959 Speaker 1: you know that goes up at the end of Andrew 503 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: the arem um And that's that's the episode. It's a 504 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: pretty solid episode, and it turns out a lot of 505 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: core memories built into it, didn't lots of first lots 506 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: of four memories. Yeah, this is a cool episode in 507 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: my in my mind, and I think this period, we're 508 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: in like a stretch here where the next couple episodes 509 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: are all like that that we were. You know, there's 510 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: mashups coming up, there's wheels, lots of firsts and um like, 511 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, figuring out how we were doing this, and 512 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: so there's nothing better than Christ and Channowith. All right, 513 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: let's do some turdy takes. Turdy takes. Cringe moment, Jenna, 514 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: um is this when April teaches us how to steal 515 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: meat from our babe whole that in our who has 516 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: There was a lot of feels like perping inappropriately drunk 517 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:10,479 Speaker 1: at all of that stuff so endearing for some reason, 518 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: you meet everything so endearing except for the meat in 519 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: our legs? Right? What was the worst dance move? Kevin? Um, 520 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: I personally I liked all of um last name. Not 521 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: anybody was necessarily good at it. Maybe that's it. Maybe 522 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: it's that it wasn't a collective excellence. It's fun to watch, 523 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: and I just follow somebody the entire time because some 524 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: of those things are not like the others. Yeah, I 525 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: won't refuse to watch myself. Um. Best song, I don't know, Kevin, 526 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: what do you think? I mean? Somebody this time? Oh wow, 527 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: it's got to be somebody to love as much as 528 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: I love maybe this time.

It's really just excellent. I think there's a 533 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: couple of honorable mentions here too. I bet you, I 534 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: bet you thought Burton earned were just roommates. That was 535 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: a funny one. Um.

I think we're okay, 545 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: and I think aged well. I think those two last 546 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: performances at the end, I mean all the performances. I 547 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: think every performance in this holds a classic classic classic classic. Um, alright, Kevin, 548 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: give it to me, So Jenner. The ship we found 549 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: on TikTok this week is about Pitch Perfect because in 550 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: pitch Perfect, which came out during Glee, Um, and I 551 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: don't know how we all felt about it when it 552 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: came out. I don't really remember it. But Skyler obviously 553 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: yeah different, it was different, but it was all celebrating 554 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, uh, choir in schools show choir. But Skyler, 555 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: your boy from Spring Awakening, wasn't that? And then he 556 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: came on Glee and then was his always extraordinary playlist 557 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: just in all the shows. Um, there is when they 558 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: have this wheel they spend to like do a sing off. 559 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: There was one of them that says songs ruined by 560 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: Glee on in the movie. In the movie, and people 561 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: have found this, Oh my god. And then also there's 562 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: a a trend based off of um songs that they 563 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 1: versions of songs they preferred that we did or that 564 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: Pitch Perfect did, And so people will stand in the 565 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: middle and go back and forth to say, which, you know, 566 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: we don't need to be pitted against each other. Fine, Oh, 567 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: it's so funny. That's hilarious and also just very meta. You. Um, 568 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: and I think they keep sending us that ship because 569 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: it's yeah, that's good you guys. I don't think I've 570 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 1: realized that. Did you realize that? And do you remember 571 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: seeing that in Pitch Perfect? No? And I don't think 572 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: anybody told us or we would have remembered. There's lots 573 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: of Glee references in movies and things that we've been 574 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: told about, but um, that was definitely not one of them. 575 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: And I really have to look deeply into that movie 576 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 1: to see to find that. Yeah, but there's there are screenshots, 577 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: so you can. I like that kind of stuff. That's good. 578 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: That's good Easter Egg, but not Easter Egg. And however, 579 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: I don't think we ruined any songs and roads not taken, 580 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: so take that pit perfect whatever, whatever, So sending your 581 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: TikTok things you find about Glee because we'll keep talking 582 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: about it.
