WEBVTT - False Finale (“Sectionals” S.1 Ep.13) 0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:05.160 And that's what you really missed with Jenna and Kevin 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:11.280 and I heart radio podcast, Welcome to You, and that's 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:19.200 what you really missed. The sectional episode. Jenna's on her 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.400 a one voiceover game today. That was really beautiful. I 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.880 just got my teeth clean, so I feel fresh. Yeah, 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:34.160 just enunciates, show those teeth off. This is the fall finale. 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.200 This is we didn't know if we were coming back 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.760 show when we filmed this, this whole the tone of 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.680 this episode, um when I of what I remember of 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:51.720 it is very like nostalgic and very like emotional, because 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.840 we didn't know if we were coming back, so I 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.840 think everything was like this could be the last. Ironically, 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.880 it was definitely not the last. There were scenes that 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.200 I remember watching it. There were scenes that I remember 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:10.720 reading for the first time, and it felt sort of bittersweet. 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.479 I can't believe we got this far. Doing thirteen episodes 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.280 felt monumental. I had never done more than one or 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.840 two episodes of a TV show before, and it was 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.479 just really really cool because like we read it like, well, 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.720 this all feels great, this feels right, could be the end. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.600 And it was directed by Brad Felchuk, which felt like 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:38.160 you know, there was this like full three sixty moment happening. Um, 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.880 coming back around to like one of the creators. Um, 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.400 we reflective of like seeing how far all the characters 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.520 had come and all the songs we had performed. Yes, 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.160 it was a big deal to us. It was a 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:56.520 big deal, all right. So this episode aired on December nine, 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.160 and um, we are still in the Empire state of 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:06.360 mind number one song and the Blindside number one movie. Okay, 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.000 what happened in the Glean news cycle this week? Kevin? Okay, 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.240 so we sort of got nominated for four Golden Globes. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.320 No big deal. This was a big deal. This was 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.480 a very big deal. We lost our minds. We did 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.600 lose our minds. Is very exciting. There was lots of buzz. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.639 I don't think I was prepared for any of the 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.640 stuff in the press and everything that we would be 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.480 going through. But um, it was a big deal. It 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:37.079 was just really exciting. This felt very like a tangible 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:42.000 thing where you know, you get numbers and oh, eight 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.440 million people watched this episode. The songs are doing really well, 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.160 but it still feels really removed and something like the 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.280 Golden Globes that like we had grown up watching all 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.520 of a sudden, we're now a part of like this 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:01.200 now like hit TV show, Hollywood reality thing, and this 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.960 was very beginning, weird and tangible. No, you're right, you're 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.400 actually very right, and this was like the beginning of 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.679 all of it. This is like being shot out of 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.639 a cannon. Understanding the award season and all of it. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:17.480 Just it's a crazy, crazy circuit. Glee won five awards 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:22.679 at the fourteenth Annual Satellite Awards UM Christie Channel, with 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.160 one for Best Outstanding Guest Star. Leah was one for 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.800 Best Actress, Jane one for Best Supporting Actress, and Matt 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.120 Morrison won for Best Actor. So here was named this 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.920 Entertainers of the Year and had Matt and Leah and 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:42.040 Corey on the cover m which was very cool. I 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.800 do remember that. And then UM Glee Season one, Volume one, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.800 The Road to Sectionals was released on DVD when DVDs 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:56.360 were still yeah, streaming did not exist, So this UM 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.680 was the midseason break and Glee did not come back 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.720 again for the back nine to air until April. So 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.360 we went from December night till April two ten, which 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.960 is crazy because we didn't go off, you know, we 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.000 didn't go away. We didn't go off air, we didn't 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.120 do all that. We were working the whole time. Well, 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.560 the break that we had was sort of our promo 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.039 break where we didn't know if we were coming back yet. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.120 We had to go out and um promote the first 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.160 thirteen as that's like, we went to Australia, we did 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.240 the Hot Topic tour. That was our break. It was 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.839 at the very beginning of the season when um It 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.279 actually started airing, and then we came back at some 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.840 point I think in the late fall, right right. I mean, 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.000 do you remember like going home for the holidays then, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:50.400 because that was the that was a huge difference of Yeah, 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.400 we we went back to do like your normal things 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.880 and all of a sudden, there's people coming up. You're 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.800 not normal anymore. Yeah. I remember going ice skating UM 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.560 in Dallas with like my family and people were coming up. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.240 I'm terrible at ice skating, so it was already embarrassing, 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.520 and then people kept coming up to me and I 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.839 had like my little nieces and that few with me, 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.520 and it was so like how protective they got very 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.279 quickly like why all these people talking to him that 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.960 it's so annoying. I'm like no, it's fine, it's nice, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.960 don't worry. I remember going home m being able to 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.600 buy my family really nice Christmas gifts because we were 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.760 finally talking to me about this. Yes and um no, 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.560 it was just exciting to be able to take your 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.480 parents out to dinner and like be like I got it, 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.600 and you know, buy them good kids and like and 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.039 then also like seeing all your high school friends and 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:51.839 being like I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. We just 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:56.880 got drunk. It's fine. Um, but it's weird. It really exciting. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.520 It was really excited. Everybody was just like super excited 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.839 because it was like the big hype. They're like, I 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:06.719 can't believe it. So and I mean my parents hated that. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.800 I think I don't know if they did this year 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.159 or the next year. But we went out for like 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.880 a big Christmas Eve dinner and I would try to 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.039 on the slide, just pay for it. Yeah, And it 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.800 meant a lot to me to be able to do that, 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:19.600 and that, you know, because of my parents, Like you 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.280 have to save all your money, you keep be doing this, 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.760 you pay for me for twentysomething years. Let me do 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.680 this one thing. It's fine. My favorite Italian restaurant that 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.800 we go to for Christmas Eve when it was still 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.080 up on Christmas Eve was Vincent's Clambar in Garden City, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.880 and we would like it's a sorry tradition. Now we 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.039 eat it all the time when I go home. And 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.240 they gave me like a little plaque on the tables, 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.000 like the New York Islanders got little plaques on the tables, 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.320 and I felt very special, and they wanted me to 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.200 take a photo with the owners. I've done a couple 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.159 of those, and um, every time they gave me like 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.960 a jar of sauce and like either take care of 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.279 dinner or take care of like, you know, a ton 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.640 of the meals. And it was just always like it. 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.640 It was our favorite place. But that's when you started 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.839 feeling like the yeah, you know, you're like, oh, people 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:08.920 are noticing, people are well, you know, the little local place. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.840 Maggiano's and TLAs did not do that for me. But 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:18.880 it's fine Clambar, what a stap alilens table us delicious? 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.640 All right, So should we get into this episode. Yeah, 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.200 let's go for it. Okay, all right, this is the 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:31.440 Road Sectionals or Sectionals, and this has all of the 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.880 songs that we've seen before, except for a new couple 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.360 of surprises like you can't always get what you want 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.400 and my life it's like without you, which I love 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:45.240 that song. Um, we've got our guest stars Michael Hitchcock, 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:53.320 Eve and the judges. M hmm, that's right. And we 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.400 get to see, you know, some of our songs that 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.920 we've already done, done by other people. And you get 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.000 to see Amber doing and I'm telling you for the 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:07.000 first time pre winning an Olivier Award for playing Effie 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.880 in the West End, which I got to see. Also, 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:14.200 how how crazy that was? Wild? Um, I watched that 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.760 last night. We can talk about it and de cried. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:23.640 So it's wild. It's a wild ride. Um. This is 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.720 the thirteenth episode. The Fox promo for this episode says, 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.840 the phenomenon that has made America Sing brings you an 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:36.880 unforgettable fall finale, guaranteed to make you cheer. You're welcome. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.560 I have to say that was very good. But seeing 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.880 these promos and I know it's all hype and they're 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.439 just like trying to convince people that the show is 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.360 probably more successful than it really is. But you know, 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.680 being an avid TV consumer growing up and being a 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.240 part of a show that all of a sudden is 0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:00.320 advertised like this was very surreal. It was very cool, 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.160 very surreal. There was everything that was happening at that 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:10.400 time was so unbelievable, very big, right. And this is 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.920 also around the time I had one of my best 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.839 friends justin I remember him being like, do you know 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:21.280 what's happening? Like can you feel the effect of the show? 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.280 Do you have any sense or awareness? And I was 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.960 like yeah, and he's like, no, you don't, right, Yeah, 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.480 maybe I don't. I don't think we could ever experience whatever, 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.640 but people outside experience yeah, because wrap my head around it. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:41.319 But getting those Golden Globe nominations and having the ratings 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.400 sort of start to soar, it did start to have 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.400 a really big cultural impact. Now and I think from 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.120 now until when we come back on the air, we 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.880 were I remember being worried about, like are people going 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.880 to come back and watch it? It only sort of 0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:00.240 grew in anticipation. So this whole episode was set all 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:04.960 that up. But anyway, new directions go to sectionals and 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:10.520 this is some big ship happening. We have baby Gate, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.920 we have some where Will and Terry's marriage and so 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:23.200 maybe finally getting caught. M you know, m h finally, 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:34.760 my goodness. I think it's easier to just go through 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.240 this episode as is this this week, because it kind 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.560 of all intertwines and is like wrapping everything upste So 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:46.120 in the beginning, Rachel is suspicious of Puck Um and 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.960 Quinn because when Quinn slips um, Puck rushes to quinside 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:56.920 and everybody's like, because everybody else knows in the glee 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:01.160 club that Puck is the baby daddy, but they don't 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.480 want to tell Rachel because obviously we know who she's 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.840 gonna who. She'll trout mouth, which is this is the 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:16.160 birth of trout mouth, real trouting mouth, Mr Cordy Um, 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.680 and you say already says that she's a total trout mouth, 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:26.480 and chill tell Finn. I remember Rachel, what's happening you? 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.880 You are the most vocal about Rachel in the Black Club. 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.280 I feel like already is definitely like says it how 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.640 it is. Um. I mean we all kind of said 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:41.400 how it is, to be honest, we're all very crass. Um. Uh. So. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.760 I remember shooting this telephone scene and getting a little 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:49.280 like nervous because I had to move switch the phone 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.280 we weren't really talking to you obviously, and so there's 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.760 all this stuff and you're walking, and Andrew Mitchell's walking behind, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.920 like backwards with us, and we're walking down the hallways. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.320 If you don't get it right, you gotta do it again. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:08.040 And I was like, hu, it was one long walk 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.520 and talk and squishing three people into one frame on 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.240 the camera was also very hard. They're like, you guys 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.560 got to get closer together. We're like, we're walking. But 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.480 it was so brilliant how they edit it so it 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.400 looked like not everybody was together and there was. It 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:29.720 was and I'm going party line. Yeah, this is also 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.440 a really big moment. And I don't even know if 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.120 at the time when they wrote this, if it was 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:40.280 more anything more than just a joke. But when Santana's like, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.160 sex is not dating, and then Britney's like, if it 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.120 were Santana and I would be dating, and everyone pauses. 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:50.839 So good, and then it carries on. Yeah, it was 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:57.240 very good. Um, So Emma tells Mr Shoe that she 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.360 pushed back her and Ken's wedding so she can make 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.440 it to sectional and Ken doesn't have to happen in 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:09.800 broad daylight it's it's yeah. She lies, she lies. She 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.400 was saying that it's Ken took it really well, cut 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.000 to Ken not taking it well. So we mark that 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.840 for later in the episode. And that's right, that's right, 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.640 um so, and then we go to Rachel freaking out 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:29.960 um Quinn by asking about the genetic testing up to 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.959 no good. So Quinn goes to Park and says that 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.840 he has to get tested because it's something it's wrong. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.600 It won't go the plan won't go in um the 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.480 way it's supposed to, because the whole thing is is 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:46.000 that the testing has to be for a Jewish baby. 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.640 And so she's saying, well, if if she gets worried 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:52.839 about this and goes to Puck, then Puck's the baby daddy, right, 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:59.600 that's her whole master plan, right, okay, all right? Then Mr. 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.640 She was the choir room giving them like a pep talk, 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:09.680 saying MS his replacement for sectionals, and oh my god, Brittany. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.800 Brittany says, she's the one that made me talk. They 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.200 made me talk to you, and they found out I 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.719 was keeping that bird in my locker. There's a lot 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:21.480 of bird jokes. We have had bird jokes throughout the season. 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.960 I like a lot of bird jokes. Yeah, and this 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:28.440 is where things It still doesn't sit right with me, 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.600 this whole Mercedes thing. So Mercedes asked Mr Shoe about 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.520 the set list and he can't help them with it, 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.480 and they have to figure it out. And at this point, 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.200 it's like, how did they not know the set list 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:44.920 what they were doing? Yeah, at this point, hasn't the 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.520 set list already been leaked? Like we know what's happening. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.640 You know, I don't even know that we asked those 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:57.960 questions at that point. We absolutely did not. I can 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:02.760 guarantee you we did not. And then Mercedes is mad 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.600 because they have to have like a solo number, a ballad, 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.360 and Rachel's assuming it's going to be her, and then 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:14.120 Mercedes is piste off about it. And then this is 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.240 one of my favorite things that the show does. Or 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.440 Mercedes like, I'm willing to prove this to you that 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.680 I can do this, And all of a sudden, we 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.920 see her talking to somebody and it's a full band 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:29.480 with horns and strings, which we justly have No, it's 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.920 never been seen before. They're just sitting in there. She says, 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.760 don't address it. Band keeping, Um, this is the scene. 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.520 I don't know why this is so memorable to me, 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.640 but she's like Rachel says, um, do you think you're 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.720 the best balladeer? And Mercedes is like turns to all 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.040 of us and goes, what the f is a balladeer? 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.400 I don't know, I don't know. Wait, was that this episode? Yes, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.600 this is the episode where the famous Dijon moment happened. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.640 He says, I don't know, I don't know. It's like 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:09.720 Dejan's online and we let me tell you, we use 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.760 that amongst ourselves for years. I don't know, years, but 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.760 I love that. What's a ballot here? I don't know. Well, 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.200 there's so many moments of Mercedes, like the past couple 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.480 of episodes where she is sort of like we're all 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.000 against like Rachel look and Mattress like, yeah, you go 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.520 take the yearbook photo and she's sort of rounding up 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.400 the kids. And it's happened earlier in the season as well, 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.320 where she's always sort of turning back and being like 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.880 guys or it feels like she's sort of our de 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.560 facto leader within the choir room because we're all behind her. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:45.880 Yea feels like it's right. Um so Mercedes does, and 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:51.880 I'm telling you I'm not going this number. I mean, 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.760 this was like you saw how ham she was going. 0:16:55.240 --> 0:17:00.720 She did this like every time we watched it or 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.840 she shot it. She was going for it. And in 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.600 the recording studio I remember her saying at the end 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:10.440 after recording it, she literally like almost fainted because it's 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.480 such a hard number. Um. She did an amazing job. 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.960 That was real life us cheering and hooting and hollering. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.200 That was definitely us actually responding to Amber singing a song, 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.600 because obviously that's what it is. But also I got 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.920 to see Amber do this um in twenties fifteen sixteen, 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.600 one of those um in on the West End in 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:41.560 and it was jaw dropping it. It's amazing, I mean 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.639 truly amazing. They do listen to this. I mean this 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.320 is one of those moments where none of us were 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.480 acting like you see tears in Chris's eyes like it 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:53.000 was we were so proud. Yeah, it was unbelievable to like, oh, 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.399 we know someone who can pract this right right that 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.320 Mike drop. I also did notice too, or I could. 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.800 I could be nitpicky, but when she's doing some of 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.760 the runs, the really complicated runs, at the end, she's 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.840 covering her face with her hair. She's like going down 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:12.760 and I was like, oh, she doesn't know the run. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.359 She probably did a bunch and she probably didn't know 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.000 what what happens. I vaguely remember her telling me that 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:20.760 where she's like, I don't know which version of the run, 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.240 so I'm just gonna that's how good she is. She's like, 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.879 let me just try a bunch of them and then 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.719 you pick the best one. Oh my god. Okay. Rachel 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.520 obviously agrees that she should do the ballot. Do the ballot, 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:39.480 be the ballot, do the ballad so um. Finn tells Rachel. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.879 He's like, yeah, that was pretty cool. That must have 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:49.080 been also, um hard to do. In this intimate moment, um, 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.320 Rachel decides, Okay, well you can't. I'm not going to 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.080 sit back and watch you suffer. Um and she says, 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.040 when you care about someone, you can't sit around and 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.320 watch them suffer when you know you can do something 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.800 about it. Well, Rachel, okay, um. She decides to teal 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.879 Finn about Quentin Puck and you know, this is one 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:09.639 of those moments where she should have had a friend 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.640 like Jenna. I said, this is not your story to tell. 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.800 Is not your story to tell? That is right. Rachel 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.320 broke the cardinal rule. This is not your story to tell. 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.920 And and with that we cut back to the choir 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:30.320 room where there's a big fight going down and um, 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:37.240 finn Is is punching uh Puck and this was stunt 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.560 doubles right, yeah, but also like Puck didn't really suffer 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:49.720 any bruises. Afterwards, he like just fine for sexual uh, 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.640 and Quinn's crying in between them and he's like, tell 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:54.640 me if it's true. And obviously we get to see 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.840 some of the Coreys and Diana is amazing acting chops 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.359 in the scene, and you just like, are so compelled 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.560 by Corey. I'm just like every time you watch him 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.200 do something like that, you're like, I believe you one 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:13.920 thousand percent right now. Yeah, He's so good, so good. 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.800 So Finn's does his normal starm out, but this is 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.840 a bit more dramatic, and he says, screw this done, 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:26.000 I'm done. I'm done. He's done, and we are downically 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:30.159 club member and remember we have to have twelve. So 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:35.040 then Rachel Rachel apologizes to Quinn, and Quinn asked Rachel 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.560 to leave, and then put comes in to like comfort 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.400 her and says like he wants to be a good father. Um, 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.959 but she's like, nah, I want to do this on 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:49.680 my own. And is also this is the moment where 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.760 I also realized that Puck's face looked completely Yeah, I'm 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.960 curious why they missed that. Maybe they just didn't want 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.800 to have bruises for sectionals, so they just chose to 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.520 have pu come out unscathed. Fans a big guy, but 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.120 he throws a weak punch, is what we're getting at. 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:11.080 He missed. He hit the floor a lot. So we 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.119 are going to sectionals finally, and we see the bus 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.800 that we all fought for and already is getting loaded 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.240 into the bus and oh my gosh, Jacob and Israel 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:26.080 shows up. He's replaced Finch and it's immediately next to Rachel, 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:32.800 which is very funny. Window. Um, Kevin, you said in 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.199 the bts of this that you're excited to go to sectionals. 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:40.840 We feel like we've been talking about it for ages. Yeah, 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:44.400 it was. That was where you know, mirroring the characters 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:48.880 in real life sort of happened where right, And yeah, 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.320 in real life we were growing as actors and friends 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.919 and co workers and becoming a real cohesive group and 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.399 learning all of these numbers, and the glee club was 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.439 doing the same thing, and it was all leading to 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.880 getting to perform on a real stage in a real theater. 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:06.879 And so in real life we just got to go 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:11.200 to Glendo and performed this at the Alex Theater. That's right, 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:16.680 this is our first big competition. Um, this was like 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:20.240 by the time we got to season four, three or four, 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:24.639 we like, we're like, oh, sectionals, regionals, smoke Stig, we 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.879 got this, but this was like huge. This felt like 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:33.600 massive yet audience extras, judges, the whole thing. This was 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:36.040 also one of those things where Brad it was great 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:40.359 Brad feltchick was directing because this then laid the groundwork 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.320 for how we shot all of these competitions from here 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:46.840 on out. Because there were such big days, big theaters, 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:51.800 managing a lot of background actors and crew and us. 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:55.240 You couldn't get too creative. Things just needed to here's 0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:58.360 how the day is going to go exactly. Yes, And um, 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.080 I think it was later we well about Brad Beaker 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.760 with his big white board of shot lists. Do you 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.520 remember that Brad Beaker would come in with this big 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.720 like poster board like presentation style and write all the 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.200 shots we needed and he would literally cross them off 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:15.200 with the marker every time we got one. Um, it 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:18.280 was kind of like yeah, yeah, it was satisfying and 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:22.000 also just very Yeah. It was that structured in methodical, 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:33.960 that's a good word. Okay, So we're we are excited 0:23:34.080 --> 0:23:39.400 to be there, we are excited, and we find out 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:43.400 that we're going last. Do you remember this scene where 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.600 we're shooting in the in the little like lobby upstairs. 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:52.040 I remember shooting that so vividly in my brain that, Um, 0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:55.399 that scene. I'm not sure why, maybe just because we 0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:59.440 were on set, like on location. Yeah, this whole experience 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:01.800 seems like that. I remember being really excited for the 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:07.120 next scene of where I'm ramming myself into the wall. Yeah, 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.440 I don't know. It's still because we did two scenes 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:14.159 up here. We did the scene of um, we're feelings 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.720 that we're going last, and then we go watch then 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:20.159 perform and Jane Adams Academy does and I'm telling you 0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:24.320 and proud Mary and um, so we know that the 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.040 set list has been leaked. Then we come back in 0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:30.320 the same place and that's all right. He's ramming himself 0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:32.880 into the wall and Emma is on a phone call 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:36.360 with Will telling him like, uh, this is what happened. 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:39.760 We need help. And I was so excited to do 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.120 that because I just thought that scene was hilarious, all 0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:47.200 of us losing our minds in the background. That's right, Well, 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.159 that is true. We did get to play and it 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:52.000 was fun to have Jama as our like little leader. Yeah. 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:56.439 So Will, Will's pissed, right, He's like okay, but he's like, 0:24:56.520 --> 0:25:01.960 I know just what to do. Um. So first she's 0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:07.840 going to go confront and he says, you crossed the line. 0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:10.879 I'm not gonna say idly by anymore. I'm going to 0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:14.439 expose you for the fraud that you are um. And 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.919
