Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome to And that's what you're reading in this podcast.
Speaker 1: It is rumor time. I'm dead of Rumersgarden wrong rumor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so many rumors flying around, so many rumors like you
Speaker 1: being on steroids.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what happened to you guys? What happened
Speaker 2: to media literacy? Did it exist?
Speaker 1: No, that's I was going to say, what happened?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: It never was?
Speaker 1: Never was? Okay, Welcome everybody, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Hi, Kevin, Hi, Jenna.
Speaker 1: This is a fun episode because this is a special episode.
Speaker 2: All one album, the first time we've done that.
Speaker 1: It is a perfect album, you know.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I have nothing bad to say about this album.
Speaker 2: I am Christine McVie, who passed away fairly recently. I
Speaker 2: didn't realize she wrote most of this album. And she's
Speaker 2: sort of becoming like a George Harrison figure to me
Speaker 2: that the older I get, I sort of gravitate towards
Speaker 2: her songs and how because I was watching Naya sing
Speaker 2: songbirds who wrote this? And it was her? And I
Speaker 2: think we know Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham. But yeah, damn,
Speaker 2: she could write the shit out of a song. Certainly.
Speaker 2: She wrote five songs on this.
Speaker 1: Album, Wow, which one she.
Speaker 2: Wrote, Don't Stop? She wrote Songbird, She co wrote The
Speaker 2: Chain with all of Fleetwood. She wrote you Make Love
Speaker 2: and Fun and wrote oh Daddy, Wow, what's crazy is too?
Speaker 2: I loved that sort of. One of the lessons in
Speaker 2: this episode is that they were all cleved. Mack was
Speaker 2: not getting along and they wrote sort of separately or
Speaker 2: when they did come together, it was only about music
Speaker 2: and a lot of these songs are just solo rights.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: There's only one song that has It's the Chain that
Speaker 2: has everybody on it. Everything else was either Lindsey Buckingham,
Speaker 2: Steve Nicks or Christine McVie by themselves. Yeah, they were writing,
Speaker 2: They had a lot of feelings and they were writing
Speaker 2: this how crazy. But love that. This is the first
Speaker 2: you know all album episode that we did because it
Speaker 2: deserves it. It's one of the best selling, if not
Speaker 2: the best selling album of all time.
Speaker 1: Geez yeah, I mean or that his hits is the best.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's the Eagles?
Speaker 2: Can you keep us now? As a kid, I was
Speaker 2: obsessed with these sorts of charts and lists and what's
Speaker 2: the best selling single and album? And still are still yes?
Speaker 2: So Rumors aired on May thir twenty eleven. It was
Speaker 2: season two episode nineteen.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my heart just started to flutter.
Speaker 2: We were almost done with season two.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, it really is, okay. The number one song
Speaker 1: was et Still from by Katy Perry featuring I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say Katy Perry. The number one movie was Fast five.
Speaker 1: Still haven't seen any of.
Speaker 2: Those, that's crazy. They were already on five twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: The tenth can seem fast and furious, any of them?
Speaker 1: Because I really love these, like very simple action movies.
Speaker 1: Not simple. Let me rephrase that. I really love these.
Speaker 1: It's simple, these blockbuster action films, and so I just
Speaker 1: I feel like there's too many, Like I don't even
Speaker 1: know where to start.
Speaker 2: I think you can just start anywhere.
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
Speaker 2: I've only seen the second one, Too Fast, too Furious,
Speaker 2: and I say, and you can. That's good enough for me, okay.
Speaker 1: Glee News This week. On May second, Diana, Lee and
Speaker 1: Matt went to the met Gala for the first time
Speaker 1: in New York City and the theme was McQueen, Savage,
Speaker 1: Beauty Woo.
Speaker 2: And on May fourth, the cast attended special screening Q
Speaker 2: and a panel at the Television Academy at Paramount Studios.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I only remembered these events based on
Speaker 1: what I was wearing because there were so many of them.
Speaker 1: So if I see a picture this one, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So I was wearing like a like an orange dress.
Speaker 1: I think we were coming off of So. I think
Speaker 1: we had all been working all day and then just
Speaker 1: changed into our outfits from one.
Speaker 2: Yes, that sounds right.
Speaker 1: In our trailers because we all are very tired.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 1: Didn't We always look tired, some days more tired than others,
Speaker 1: but we were still young. So this episode, as Kevin said,
Speaker 1: is the first episode that is centered around an album,
Speaker 1: a singular album, and it was directed by Tim Hunter,
Speaker 1: who I think this is his one and only if
Speaker 1: I'm sweet Hunter christ and CHOHn was back as abral Roads.
Speaker 1: She's back and tell me about.
Speaker 3: The songs in this episode Kevin Wow, stacked dreams, never
Speaker 3: going back again, Songbird, I don't want to know, go
Speaker 3: your own way, don't stop.
Speaker 2: Then there's a little aast risk, you know, nice to
Speaker 2: meet you have I Slept with You now, which is
Speaker 2: not part of Rumors.
Speaker 1: It's very funny though it is.
Speaker 2: And then an honorable mention shout out to the chain
Speaker 2: that's playing in the background throughout a lot of the episode.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that too.
Speaker 2: There's some great fun facts as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, tell me some.
Speaker 2: Fleetwood Macs album Rumors re entered the Billboard two hundred
Speaker 2: chart at number eleven the week after this episode air.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we can take a little bit of
Speaker 1: credit for that, but also like it stands on it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I think it has just gotten better
Speaker 2: with age too, totally. It's just become cooler and cooler.
Speaker 1: We listened to it all the time now and has
Speaker 1: heard it quite a few times. What else happened? What
Speaker 1: other fun facts?
Speaker 2: At Paileyfest, Ryan Murphy revealed Stevien Next visiting the set
Speaker 2: for Landside inspired them to choose Rumors as their single
Speaker 2: album tribute episode. That was a quick turnaround. You see
Speaker 2: how quickly they have to come up with these things.
Speaker 2: In the turnaround, we just did land Signs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2: Ryan said. We can get Stevie NICKX on the phone
Speaker 2: now and we can get Lindsay Buckingham who has kids,
Speaker 2: who's like, oh my god, I'd love that. So twelve
Speaker 2: hours later, you get the rights to rumors.
Speaker 1: Oh crazy, I've just got chills. Twelve hours you get
Speaker 1: the rights to.
Speaker 2: Room like what Stevie Nicks on Speed Dial. Okay, so
Speaker 2: apparent Remember we asked about Fondu for two. Yes, where
Speaker 2: it came from? Yes, So apparently it did come from
Speaker 2: a Glee van Teresa, who went to the tour in
Speaker 2: twenty ten and had a letter delivered to Corey that
Speaker 2: mentioned she was writing from an internet program, a YouTube
Speaker 2: show called Fondu for two. Heather admitted the idea came
Speaker 2: from a letter in the show later, since Teresa an
Speaker 2: autograph copy of the script, an autograph cast picture, and thanks.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: I did not know that.
Speaker 1: I don't think I knew that either. Wow. You know what?
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember this, Yes.
Speaker 2: I did, Ron Burgundy. I'm just reading things.
Speaker 1: I know I remember this. Yes, yes, yes, okay, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, this is that's really funny because it's it's
Speaker 1: it is. One of my favorite things about the show
Speaker 1: is Fondue for two.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed Fondue for two now a lot you didn't.
Speaker 1: Like Fondu for two back in the day.
Speaker 2: No, I I was confused by it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 2: I was very confused by it. Now they didn't like it.
Speaker 2: I was like, is this the same show? Well, but
Speaker 2: I don't know why. That's what we do so much
Speaker 2: crazy shit? Why was that?
Speaker 1: The thing was like, hmmm, I kind of agree with you.
Speaker 1: It felt dated, Like the way it was shot felt
Speaker 1: like a seventies like or eight like I don't know,
Speaker 1: eighties like Nickelodeon show like There's six Plains at All
Speaker 1: or something like that. I don't know. It just felt
Speaker 1: different than what we were doing. And like the style
Speaker 1: and the quality of the way it was shot. I
Speaker 1: think also visually changed my way of seeing it. And
Speaker 1: you're right, I enjoy it much more now. But it's
Speaker 1: so funny. It was so funny.
Speaker 2: I do have to say, though, to your note about
Speaker 2: how it was filmed, I feel like Tim Hunter filmed
Speaker 2: this very sematically. Cinematically. It felt more like a little movie.
Speaker 2: It didn't feel so TV to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I had a lot of very Yeah, no, you're
Speaker 1: You're totally right, and there are really a lot of
Speaker 1: beautiful shots. So Jenna, what happens in this episode. Okay,
Speaker 1: break it down for it, break it down. Okay, So
Speaker 1: Sue Sue.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I couldn't say cinematic and you didn't say anything,
Speaker 2: and you mess up one word.
Speaker 1: There's this blooper from Glee that I sue Sue has
Speaker 1: school spirit or something like that, and it reminded me
Speaker 1: of that. It brought me back to my lips started
Speaker 1: to get all tangled.
Speaker 2: So soon I thought bloopers didn't exist.
Speaker 1: No, no, there doesn't exist. Sense, I'm friends with a
Speaker 1: lot of people who worked in the editing room.
Speaker 2: Okay, I caught you. Jenna's got something in the fault.
Speaker 2: I feel this is she's covering her face. Now, Jenna,
Speaker 2: do you have bloopers? You're gonna get hacked so quickly.
Speaker 1: Then don't don't bring it. I'm crying.
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, hmm, don't worry. I'm gonna have anymore.
Speaker 1: You're gonna dig out with me.
Speaker 2: I'm coming over suits. Jen is actually crying. Okay.
Speaker 1: So Sue revives the Muckraker, which is the school newspaper.
Speaker 1: It's very trumpy and the way that this is all approached. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Sue decides to print a few inflammatory blind items,
Speaker 1: very anonymous, very gossipy, very page six ish. The Glee
Speaker 1: club gains a new respect for Sam when they discover
Speaker 1: this big secret at the end of the episode about
Speaker 1: his life. And meanwhile, I Were Roads returns to Lama
Speaker 1: and tries to convince Will to hit the road with
Speaker 1: her a Broadway and leave McKinley behind. All while these
Speaker 1: rumors are being thread and intertwined throughout the.
Speaker 2: Episode what if Trump She's a really big Glee fan?
Speaker 1: Gross and then Stopian universe Kevin. Whatever Sue does, I
Speaker 1: can do better? Whatever?
Speaker 2: So okay, rumors tidally episode how do we get into rumors?
Speaker 2: Sue brings back to the school newspaper to stop the glee
Speaker 2: club with the help of Terry. She's back April Unknowingly.
Speaker 2: This scene at the line of Bean where Sue stresses
Speaker 2: David Bowie and then very quickly is Anne Colter is
Speaker 2: one of the wildest.
Speaker 1: It's getting really wild now.
Speaker 2: And I love this is her being incognito.
Speaker 1: And asking her moke up powder.
Speaker 2: By the way, since Terry Shooter has gotten a divorce,
Speaker 2: her face beats. This is looking great.
Speaker 1: She's painted, She's single and fancy free Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she wants her apartment back. I don't know how
Speaker 2: she's going to get that back, but I don't either.
Speaker 1: But Terry has an idea that she's going to get
Speaker 1: They should get Will out of the glee club instead
Speaker 1: of destroying him from the inside. And Sue has this.
Speaker 1: He's talking about the Muckbreaker, and she's saying that she's
Speaker 1: no longer concerned with facts fact checking in the integrity
Speaker 1: effects the muckreaker motto if I heard it's probably true
Speaker 1: or something sounds familiar. And the newspaper causes chaos because
Speaker 1: there are some items about it reminds me of like
Speaker 1: Do moy in our day and age of like the
Speaker 1: Secret Keeper, Oh totally, or the Gossip Tellers. And this
Speaker 1: is about Quinn Sam having a secret affair because they're
Speaker 1: meeting up at a motel and about Santana playing for
Speaker 1: the other team, and it causes k chaos within Lukely Club.
Speaker 1: And then Will tells April when she returns because she
Speaker 1: needs to borrow her auditorium that this all sounds like
Speaker 1: Fleetwood Mac. So this inspires Will's lesson which I'm I'm
Speaker 1: noticing a trend, a pattern of Will feeling inspired on
Speaker 1: the day, So Will's inspired by the Rumors album Fleetwood
Speaker 1: Max Rumors album. That that's gonna be the lesson plan
Speaker 1: for the week.
Speaker 2: I mean it's very also Stevie Nick's being on set
Speaker 2: and Ryan being inspired to the Rumors episode.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: I do think it's wild that Brittany just outed. I mean,
Speaker 2: giving her the benefit of the doubt. Yes, Brittany does
Speaker 2: some questionable things, but she doesn't no better. But her
Speaker 2: outing her on Fondu for two was pretty wild. How
Speaker 2: is it filming Fondue for two? Okay, you're looking into
Speaker 2: the camera.
Speaker 1: It was really fun. It was really fun, really really
Speaker 1: fun to do amber with the fund with the fondue
Speaker 1: being really hot, was really funny.
Speaker 2: I felt very real it was.
Speaker 1: There was all like very off the cuff, very ridiculous. Gosh,
Speaker 1: this is so funny. Lord Tubbington I think he was
Speaker 1: in this one. I think it was this one. Maybe
Speaker 1: we come do we come back for Fundu for two?
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a lot more fun Okay, no, but I mean,
Speaker 2: does teena come back funny?
Speaker 1: Probably because in my memory and I think it was
Speaker 1: this one, Lord Tummington would not stay still and Lord
Speaker 1: Tubbington kept running out of the room. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: we had to keep doing it because Lord Tummington wouldn't
Speaker 1: do his job.
Speaker 2: Remember you guys telling us about.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hit his mark. But sweet Lord Tuvington, I
Speaker 1: don't remember the cat's real name. It's a cat. It's
Speaker 1: not even a dog that's like really trainable. It's a cat.
Speaker 1: And Lord Tumington did not want to be on set
Speaker 1: that day, so kitty cat get running away. But we
Speaker 1: love Lord Tomington, Lord Timings. It's my favorite.
Speaker 2: You guys were hilarious.
Speaker 1: It's very funny. It's it's very it feels very us if.
Speaker 1: It also feels like very like uh blaming on the alcohol.
Speaker 1: Me and Amber laughing drunkenly, like fake acting drunkenly together.
Speaker 2: You guys on a new set, a new setup, and
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 1: We love it anyway. I'm glad that it opened the episode.
Speaker 1: Oh no, not did it open up? No no, no, it
Speaker 1: didn't open the episode. It felt like it opened.
Speaker 2: I do get why people also wanted like a spin
Speaker 2: off of this. Oh it did open the episode.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, I'm not crazy, Okay.
Speaker 2: But that's not why.
Speaker 1: Okay, because I have Bluebirds anyways, saying oh, yes, spin off,
Speaker 1: I get it now, Yes, definitely.
Speaker 2: I wanted to see more of it. I wanted Brittany's
Speaker 2: take on everything.
Speaker 1: Like the Biggest Gossips.
Speaker 2: I think that also would be a funny hm hmmm
Speaker 2: mm hmm, it's just as funny.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: So Jenna and I have the zoomis.
Speaker 1: Who's saying it today? Okay, okay, I'm crying and I
Speaker 1: don't know why, guys strike, I'm still crying from Kevin
Speaker 1: outing me. All right, So then Brittany is Brittany gets
Speaker 1: used by Sue Faster to try and get answers for
Speaker 1: Girls Are Inspired.
Speaker 2: She seems very into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, gossip for the newspaper for mister Shue.
Speaker 1: And it's trying. She's trying to be salacious but she
Speaker 1: doesn't even realize it. But she's also trying to plant
Speaker 1: the seed in Will's head that he wants to go
Speaker 1: to the Broadway.
Speaker 2: I love that it took to question three for Will
Speaker 2: to say this is inappropriate it.
Speaker 1: But but hew, there's some delivery on like we'll see
Speaker 1: some coach Susan, I can say anything, right, let's talk
Speaker 1: about Will.
Speaker 2: And in April don't you just love when you see
Speaker 2: that face come on to the screen?
Speaker 1: What a joy? I really wish we had more April
Speaker 1: Roads in the whole series.
Speaker 2: Me too.
Speaker 1: It feels like she's always there, it does.
Speaker 2: Is that just because she meant a lot to ask
Speaker 2: off screen?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably the first guest star.
Speaker 2: How good is Dreams? Though?
Speaker 1: It's so good? It's so good, it's so good? Can
Speaker 1: they just sing the whole Rumors album?
Speaker 2: I know they're so good? I this fun tract. This
Speaker 2: was the second single off the album. In real life,
Speaker 2: you hear.
Speaker 1: This and you're like, oh, this was like number one
Speaker 1: on my cocktail list, like a playlist for uh my wife.
Speaker 2: This is one of those songs that also has just
Speaker 2: gotten bigger with time. Mm hmmm, where like this wasn't
Speaker 2: something we were listening to in high school, but high
Speaker 2: school students now know this song?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. And then April decides that she's going to
Speaker 1: well when her all white Products of the Wiz didn't
Speaker 1: work out shocking huzzah. She she decides she's going to
Speaker 1: write her own musical based on her real feelings, and
Speaker 1: Will is kind of helping guide that, and they end
Speaker 1: up performing this wild number nice to meet you. Have
Speaker 1: I slept with you? This reminds me of like my headband,
Speaker 1: where like she can't quite find her her groove, her
Speaker 1: songwriting groove. But the number is beautifully sung. I don't
Speaker 1: care what the word said. I could listen to christ
Speaker 1: and Channhalth all day and.
Speaker 2: There's a full orchestra on stage.
Speaker 1: They have beautiful It felt like we were watching like
Speaker 1: like them at the Boston you know, Pops or Yes.
Speaker 2: Emma walks in and I was like, oh no, please, guys,
Speaker 2: don't kiss, don't make something. Luckily that didn't happen.
Speaker 3: It didn't.
Speaker 1: But Emma Will then encouraged Will to actually follow his dreams.
Speaker 2: Dreams, and she's taken her medicine and didn't individually wipe
Speaker 2: off each great so she's making strides. She is making strides.
Speaker 2: Can we just talk about the little girls Kiky and
Speaker 2: April and Sue and Terror having.
Speaker 1: I feel like this was also around the time where
Speaker 1: in La it became like really cool to eat your
Speaker 1: placenta after you give birth, and that's probably where the
Speaker 1: writers got that.
Speaker 2: Absolutely I did.
Speaker 1: Eat my placenta, by the way, Okay, I love that
Speaker 1: for you. The Kiki is funny. You just don't see
Speaker 1: those women in a room together ever. But that's you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for mixing up the groups always. But
Speaker 1: the rumor mel works and April's like, wait, well that's
Speaker 1: not true. This isn't gonna happen.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, we'll just put it out there and
Speaker 2: then it will. So the Glee Club sees it and
Speaker 2: sees that Will is leaving with April to help over
Speaker 2: with the show. But he says he has a lot
Speaker 2: of dreams and one of them is getting the Glee
Speaker 2: Club to Nationals. After he has that emotional opening with
Speaker 2: Emma where he starts to sort of cry in the
Speaker 2: teacher's lounge.
Speaker 1: That also reminded me of the Pilot a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was sweet. I think it's sweet.
Speaker 1: It's sweet, okay. And then and then we've got a
Speaker 1: couple of other things going on within the Muckraker rumor mill.
Speaker 1: Sam and Quinn are apparently having an affair according to
Speaker 1: the muckraker, and Finn, who's dating Quit at the time,
Speaker 1: and so Rachel and Finn to a stake out at
Speaker 1: the motel outside the motel taking photos and Finn is
Speaker 1: sure that they're having an affair, but they discover that
Speaker 1: Kurt is walking out of the hotel with Sam bisexual representation.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, and people they are now think Rachel is
Speaker 1: thinking he's cheating. I'm blame. So it's all these cheaters.
Speaker 2: Everybody's cheating, everybody's rumoring. I also liked this. This was fun,
Speaker 2: inappropriate for the kids to be doing this, but also
Speaker 2: something kids would do. This is also at the same time,
Speaker 2: Jbi is taking pictures of Rachel and Finn together, taking
Speaker 2: pictures of Kurt and Sam together.
Speaker 1: You just think that's inappropriate.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, like sort of stalking someone like that is inappropriate,
Speaker 2: but also in high school, it's some shit you would do,
Speaker 2: you know, totally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little adult like, but not really.
Speaker 2: It's also just fun. This storyline ends up being comedy
Speaker 2: and turning into something really meaningful and real at the end.
Speaker 1: Yes, So there's a lot of rumors that Sam is
Speaker 1: gay and Quinn's like, he's not gay, but she can't
Speaker 1: really reveal what's going on because she knows the truth.
Speaker 1: She just tells Finn like, you got to trust me.
Speaker 1: He's like, how can I trust you when you're not
Speaker 1: telling me anything, you know, not sharing with me. And
Speaker 1: then Rachel sees Sam wearing one of kurch jackets. She's
Speaker 1: just hilarious, which is very hot, and Kurt deflex by
Speaker 1: questioning the question by saying that Fleetwood Mac only spoke
Speaker 1: about the music when making rumors, and they so that
Speaker 1: they should be only focusing on nationals.
Speaker 2: Side note, can we speaking of new combos? Can we
Speaker 2: talk about Rachel and Sam having that little combo episode
Speaker 2: about prom? So we're bringing up prom because that's happening
Speaker 2: next episode. And then gives him the chapstick and at
Speaker 2: the end he's said, thanks for the lip chap And
Speaker 2: I made it into that. So that's like what we
Speaker 2: used to.
Speaker 1: Say lip chat. Did we get lip chat from that
Speaker 1: or did they take that from us?
Speaker 2: I think they took that from us. I feel pretty
Speaker 2: confident that Corey.
Speaker 1: He took that from us or stuck that in there.
Speaker 2: I mean most of Buele, one of the makeup artists,
Speaker 2: she used to say that all the time too.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe it was a bule thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was a mule thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, Well, we love when our little jokes make
Speaker 1: it in. We're a little sayings and things like the mouths.
Speaker 2: I think we got at one point about fitting them
Speaker 2: in very quickly because you wouldn't even notice.
Speaker 1: And he also wasn't scared to like mess with people
Speaker 1: like Yeah, I was like a rule follower. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: should get the lines exactly right? Okay, he got away
Speaker 1: with it with anything because he's just so cute.
Speaker 2: Pretty privilege is real, all right.
Speaker 1: So they do another stakeout at the motel and racheline
Speaker 1: and see Quinn coming out and then hugging with Sam
Speaker 1: and so we are sure, we are sure that they're
Speaker 1: having an affair now, and that's when Finn and Quinn
Speaker 1: have that little trust conversation and then they sing I
Speaker 1: Don't want to Know in the choir room.
Speaker 2: Also a very good version, Yeah, very good version.
Speaker 1: I Don't want to Know is one of the songs
Speaker 1: I don't Know as well from that album, do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, I just like one of
Speaker 1: the ones I don't listen to as as often as
Speaker 1: some of the others.
Speaker 2: I think us doing it made me listen to it more. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because it's a great song and it's hilarious how they
Speaker 2: perform it together.
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 2: They're very good together.
Speaker 1: They are. It's actually nice to see them back together.
Speaker 2: And it's nice to see Diana get to do some
Speaker 2: more comedy. Actually, like herself, is always very loaded with drama.
Speaker 2: It's true, she got pregnant very early, you know, always crying, yeah,
Speaker 2: poor thing.
Speaker 1: And Rachel performs go your Own Way, and she's clearly
Speaker 1: with no qualms about it, serenading Finn in this number.
Speaker 1: Rachel's wild, Rachel's off the hook or off off not
Speaker 1: that's not off the chain. No, that's not right either.
Speaker 1: Rachel is off her rocker right now, there you go,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 2: Now, this weird thing happens with the whole Sam thing
Speaker 2: that felt really inappropriate, but again very high school, where
Speaker 2: everyone piling on about what he was doing and he's
Speaker 2: not saying anything totally and everybody's jumping in on everybody,
Speaker 2: and and then he has like this really serious confession.
Speaker 1: That he's very high school though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Will's just sort of there, like guys,
Speaker 2: don't do it. Sam's been living in the motel because
Speaker 2: his dad lost his job, so they've lost their house
Speaker 2: and the family's not out living in the hotel, and
Speaker 2: Kurt has been bringing Sam close and Quinn has been
Speaker 2: helping Sam babysit his siblings, and so Rachel and Finn
Speaker 2: go back over there to sort of apologize and to
Speaker 2: help out. And it's very sweet. You meet his little
Speaker 2: siblings and they bring him a guitar. Fenn brings clothes
Speaker 2: and they realize, you know, like they had to sell
Speaker 2: their possessions. Everything fits in this one motel room. And
Speaker 2: his parents are out in the pavement trying to find
Speaker 2: work and they can't and they mentioned the recession, which
Speaker 2: if that was really interesting because I don't know, I
Speaker 2: think this is the first time it's mentioned.
Speaker 1: Oh definitely.
Speaker 2: It's like, man, not an issue goes unaddressed, ugly right even,
Speaker 2: But what a perfect character to I know.
Speaker 1: I really love this storyline because it's just really honest
Speaker 1: and raw, and for for cord to do it, it's
Speaker 1: really sweet.
Speaker 2: Oh Cordy crying.
Speaker 1: I know. And Cordy has a big family too, so
Speaker 1: like just like it feels like he was able to
Speaker 1: like pull from like a really honest place for this,
Speaker 1: for this. And yeah, he's also really good with kids
Speaker 1: and he's also a dog whisper, so I believed him
Speaker 1: with those with his little sisters is he.
Speaker 2: A dog whisper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he like pick his bear up, and Bear like
Speaker 1: melts into his arms and doesn't move. It's really strange.
Speaker 1: Always from the time Bear was like a tiny puppy
Speaker 1: to like a couple of days ago, he'll just like
Speaker 1: pick Bear up and like Bear will just like Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really funny. Did you talk about the guitar? Did
Speaker 1: you mention the guitar? Did I miss that?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 2: I did? Okay, okay, okay, But but I didn't talk
Speaker 2: about how much do they emphasize it, like they need
Speaker 2: him to stay, They need him, the glee club needs him,
Speaker 2: He needs the music. Yeah, Because if there's one thing
Speaker 2: that Rachel's going to talk sincerely about, it's about understanding
Speaker 2: the love of music and how music helps the people
Speaker 2: who love it. Right, it's a mutually beneficial relationship. And
Speaker 2: so when she speaks about that to Sam, I thought
Speaker 2: that was really really sweet. And then he brings a
Speaker 2: siblings to do one more number at the end, don't stop,
Speaker 2: I'm different, don't stop.
Speaker 1: Do you remember this? Yes?
Speaker 2: I do. Actually, those kids were so cute.
Speaker 1: So cute. We learned this in a jiff this number?
Speaker 2: Did we learn it on stage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if my memory serves correctly, we were very
Speaker 1: busy doing a thousand other things prepping for the next episode.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 2: Prom was a big one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, problem was a really big one. And Zach was
Speaker 1: working his little tushie off and I remember him like
Speaker 1: throwing this at us, and they put Harry all the
Speaker 1: way up at the front because Harry could pick it
Speaker 1: up really quick and just like we could just follow him.
Speaker 1: And it was kind of like our free form rock
Speaker 1: out kind of thing where we like loosely did what
Speaker 1: we were supposed to do. But it was also kind
Speaker 1: of fine because it was all about Sam and Quinn
Speaker 1: and his siblings.
Speaker 2: Do you remember side note My relationship to the song was.
Speaker 2: I remember there was like this VH one special back
Speaker 2: in the day, I think in the nineties or early
Speaker 2: two thousands, and Fleetwood Mac performed at his big concert,
Speaker 2: and I remember staying awake and like looking through like
Speaker 2: around the side of the wall and watched them perform
Speaker 2: the song because I loved it.
Speaker 1: Well, I loved the song too, Kevin. It was my
Speaker 1: one of my first dancer title songs. Cute and I'll
Speaker 1: never forget it. See this album. I'm sure so many
Speaker 1: people have stories about their connections to these like meaningful
Speaker 1: numbers and songs. Okay, so then we have to talk
Speaker 1: about BRITTANY'SWANDU for two, which we kind of talked about already,
Speaker 1: but we have to talk about Artie's number because woo,
Speaker 1: and Santana's number because woo. Okay, so you guys, could
Speaker 1: Brittany and AARTI have this great scene in the hallway
Speaker 1: where you're a total butt head towards her because.
Speaker 2: Artie does not know how to speak to women.
Speaker 1: Woof, he does not. We got to smack his mom,
Speaker 1: smack Katie Sigal around a little because you know, there's
Speaker 1: some lessons to have been learned already.
Speaker 2: Rough nothing that comes out of his mouth ever correct.
Speaker 1: Alreaty's upset because obviously he's hearing about Brittany and Santana
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, you're kind of like the underdog
Speaker 1: in this already, and saying like there's some if there's
Speaker 1: somebody else that like can give her what she needs,
Speaker 1: and you're feeling like kind of insecure and inferior. Is
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think he's like taking out his insecurities and vulnerabilities
Speaker 2: out on her, like he's projecting onto her where it's
Speaker 2: that's his own shit that he needs to deal with.
Speaker 1: Her.
Speaker 2: Cheating is a different thing, right, right, Like he's coming
Speaker 2: out from a place of Oh, you found somebody that
Speaker 2: can give you what I'm supposed to give you, right,
Speaker 2: But it's like, yeah, it's because you don't believe that
Speaker 2: you're lovable or that you're enough for somebody, right, So
Speaker 2: get your shit together, sixteen year old?
Speaker 1: Then and then already already not you, already.
Speaker 2: Calls her oof, I did not remember that?
Speaker 1: Oh you didn't.
Speaker 2: And Heather's reaction action.
Speaker 1: That broke my heart.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It was really really a great performance by Heather more
Speaker 1: because I was gut punched.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she got gut punched. It was like, there's
Speaker 2: so I mean, Britney ninety nine point nine percent of
Speaker 2: the time is like a fairy, you know, did you?
Speaker 2: She's just happy going about her thing. And then holy.
Speaker 1: Shit, holy crap. Kudos to Heather Morris. Yeah, okay, we
Speaker 1: go to we go to never Going back again, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite artie songs of all time. Do you remember, Well,
Speaker 1: tell me about the recording, and then tell me about
Speaker 1: this whole guitar idea with all of the guitarists on stage,
Speaker 1: because I don't remember that, and I my jaw was
Speaker 1: on the floor.
Speaker 2: It's so good, I Ryan told me. In one of
Speaker 2: those you know, like passing moments we were at We're
Speaker 2: in video village, somebody was being films like start learning,
Speaker 2: never going back again, and I had never heard the
Speaker 2: song before. Ah, and I played it and was so
Speaker 2: confused because I had no idea how to sing this
Speaker 2: song where it was. There's not a lot of vocal
Speaker 2: happening in it, It's a lot of instrumentation, and I
Speaker 2: was just like, this is a weird choice to put
Speaker 2: in an episode. It's not very entertaining. I didn't get it.
Speaker 2: I didn't know the vision for it. I didn't know
Speaker 2: the context for it. And when I went to record it,
Speaker 2: it was just beautiful. I mean the demo, I mean
Speaker 2: that track with all those guitars is beautiful. Like they
Speaker 2: built out that track sort of how Glee does they
Speaker 2: add eight billion vocals, you know, to something. They did
Speaker 2: that through the acoustic guitars and this song, and Alex
Speaker 2: was so particular about this. Only happened a couple of
Speaker 2: times in the course of the show. But he was
Speaker 2: so particular in my tone for this song, I think
Speaker 2: because it was so simple and there's no hiding behind
Speaker 2: anything yep. So you know, normally things were really hard
Speaker 2: because they're doing some crazy run or it was really high.
Speaker 2: This was like a whole new challenge for me. And
Speaker 2: the more we talked about these episodes, the more I
Speaker 2: realized I had to break down every single recording session
Speaker 2: because I was getting really frustrated because I couldn't hear
Speaker 2: the difference of just saying a word differently, placing it differently.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I felt like I was losing my mind.
Speaker 2: But you know what made me love the song was
Speaker 2: all you girls love this, love this, And I didn't
Speaker 2: understand it. I don't get this song. I don't want
Speaker 2: And I remember, like Leah, she would be playing it,
Speaker 2: blasting it all the time, coming on and off the
Speaker 2: lot in her car.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: You were doing the same thing yep. And it was
Speaker 2: very strange because like, oh they're listening too. Lee's like
Speaker 2: can you send me that version? You were like can you?
Speaker 2: So I sensed all you girls yep, And it made
Speaker 2: me see the song, I think in a new way.
Speaker 2: And doing that number was also that shot at the
Speaker 2: end with all the guitars behind was beautiful.
Speaker 1: I have chills.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: I was kind of watching today and like going back
Speaker 1: and forth from the kitchen, like you know, doing some multitasking,
Speaker 1: and I like stopped in my tracks for that number
Speaker 1: because I kind of like, I've heard it so many
Speaker 1: times in my head now I kind of forgot the
Speaker 1: way it was shot, and it's it's similar to some
Speaker 1: of your other numbers that you've done, like Dancing with Myself.
Speaker 1: It reminded me of that because you're on the stage,
Speaker 1: but it was so it was shot so differently, and
Speaker 1: having the guitars was so brilliant. It really just elevated
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And I was like, well, of course
Speaker 1: it's Fleetwood math, Like, of course they're going to do
Speaker 1: something special. But the shot at the end, and like
Speaker 1: the way Tim you know, got that really nice close
Speaker 1: up of you, it was really great. It was really
Speaker 1: really great. It's really well done.
Speaker 2: It's also interesting because I feel like Ryan had a
Speaker 2: really particular voice for Artie musically.
Speaker 1: Totally, which totally think.
Speaker 2: At the time, I found it frustrating because it was
Speaker 2: so against like what Kevin would say right, or I'm
Speaker 2: doing all these acoustic songs and yeah, and I don't
Speaker 2: think I necessarily really appreciated that having any sort of
Speaker 2: vision for anything for any of our characters was so special, right,
Speaker 2: and so them having like this musical dialogue for Artie
Speaker 2: even he's saying insane shit, I keep cussing.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dancing with myself through me, this through me, and
Speaker 2: there's more. There's Billy Joel, and there's so many other
Speaker 2: acoustic versions that I ended up doing that I do find,
Speaker 2: in hindsight really cool.
Speaker 1: Did you find that did you feel pressure doing this
Speaker 1: song because of Fleetwood and because of the album and
Speaker 1: like that?
Speaker 2: Yes? Oh yeah, I think especially because I didn't know
Speaker 2: the song, I felt like an idiot. I felt like
Speaker 2: such a like a fraud where I knew the singles
Speaker 2: right and hear me probably saying, oh yeah, it's a
Speaker 2: classic album and didn't actually know what I was talking about. Really,
Speaker 2: I knew how many records that had sold. I didn't
Speaker 2: know sure this is the actual songs.
Speaker 1: Also, an adulation probably felt the pressure as well, like
Speaker 1: our music producers probably felt the pressure because you were
Speaker 1: covering such a coveted album.
Speaker 2: And you knew make sure they were going to hear it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is terrifying. That's so terrifying. Songbird,
Speaker 1: Oh oh god, I'm just gonna cry because I'm literally
Speaker 1: said the word.
Speaker 2: That vocal crack. My eyes.
Speaker 1: I'm crying. It's it's I think Heather said it was
Speaker 1: one of her favorite songs that Nya Ever sang, and
Speaker 1: I I don't remember the songbir because I don't that
Speaker 1: was like my never went back again song. And then
Speaker 1: I watched it today and I was like, not, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: not well, it's really good. It's like really good. Oh man,
Speaker 1: her voice just crying a lot in this episode.
Speaker 2: We're all over the place. I was trying. It started
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, I don't think I can engage,
Speaker 2: and I like picked up.
Speaker 1: My phone off yeah yeah yeah, And I was like, I.
Speaker 2: Don't think I can do this today, I know. And
Speaker 2: then it got to I don't you know what, let
Speaker 2: me find it so I can fully referenced this properly.
Speaker 2: It got to the vocal crack and I had to
Speaker 2: put down my phone and I rewound it. I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm like, I gotta I have to
Speaker 2: do this it deserves it. So if you go look
Speaker 2: it up on YouTube, it's around fifty three seconds. Okay,
Speaker 2: but Heather's fully crying. I mean that's Heather. That's like
Speaker 2: not Brittany.
Speaker 1: When I think when Heather says beautiful, I think that
Speaker 1: I don't think that was written. I think that was
Speaker 1: just her saying that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when Nya sings that, Nia was like such technically
Speaker 2: a good singer. And then also when you add in
Speaker 2: a song that is written this well and it's just
Speaker 2: piano and raw, it's the most perfect presentation of vocals
Speaker 2: and songwriting I think possible. And they left I also,
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes in the rush to record vocals really
Speaker 2: quickly to record pop sounding songs, that sometimes the songs
Speaker 2: can be like overly refined, I think vocally right, and
Speaker 2: there was nothing but Naya's vocal texture in this song.
Speaker 2: And that one part I think gets me because of
Speaker 2: that where it almost sounds like her voice is gonna
Speaker 2: go out, but it doesn't, and it displays this like
Speaker 2: crazy amount of emotion that she's portraying. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty perfect, gotta say.
Speaker 2: And it's there's nothing happening, She's just standing there I.
Speaker 1: Know, but the vocals are just like.
Speaker 2: But I also love that, you know, so often there's
Speaker 2: things thrown in there. And sometimes she's not even really
Speaker 2: necessarily putting on a show. She's not performing it. She's
Speaker 2: just singing it right, and Brittany's watching it. And that's enough.
Speaker 1: It's enough. It's too much, to be honest, it's too much.
Speaker 1: H Well, I can't talk about a mutch it anymore. Okay,
Speaker 1: So she wants so Brittany wants Santana to sing in
Speaker 1: front of her, but she's like, why can't you just
Speaker 1: be a little bit with it? And Santana is just
Speaker 1: not ready. So Santana then goes to Jacob and Israel
Speaker 1: and says, that hurt Krofsky, your soulmates, and it crushes
Speaker 1: little Britney's heart. And and there we have pretty much rumors.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a doozy, it's a big episode. A
Speaker 1: lot happens, a lot of music. I will say, like
Speaker 1: if they incorporated all of it really well, and like
Speaker 1: the rumor mill and the whole thing around, the album
Speaker 1: is very well done.
Speaker 2: Seeing that too, it didn't nothing really felt so shoehorned
Speaker 2: in right, It really did compliment everybody's stories, and I
Speaker 2: think it probably brought out some stories that wouldn't have
Speaker 2: happened otherwise that were really good and needed.
Speaker 1: Well, should we use some tarty takes.
Speaker 2: Let's do some tarty takes?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Auchi's Jenna cringe moments.
Speaker 1: I mean, all the rumors, but Brittany asking him about
Speaker 1: pannies was mister true about pannies was just not not
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I Yeah, I think I have to agree.
Speaker 2: I think that's probably the one for me. Okay, best
Speaker 2: dance move. There's not a lot to pick from. There's
Speaker 2: only one dance in this episode.
Speaker 1: I guess April and Will's left.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when I started sweating. It was like, don't get.
Speaker 1: Best song. I'm going with never going back.
Speaker 2: Ooh brave, I'm going with songbird.
Speaker 1: Great best performance by a promp Lord Tummington. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anything that happened in Fondie for two Yeah.
Speaker 1: Great, best line when Santana's talking about how they're treating
Speaker 1: her differently already because of the rumor, and she's they
Speaker 1: asked me to traffic golf team. The delivery is is gold.
Speaker 2: I Also one of my favorites has been se says
Speaker 2: brought worst gobbler April Room.
Speaker 1: You texted me that earlier too.
Speaker 2: You're like, I I almost did a spittake. I had
Speaker 2: to put down my water. I leaned over and was
Speaker 2: crying in this house alone watching it. It was so
Speaker 2: I was like, what did you just say? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: brought worst gobbler. Brittany's that's yeah, Brittany's question also question one,
Speaker 2: do you think The Aristocrats is an accurate portrayal of
Speaker 2: a feline relationship? You know, just because we're doing this
Speaker 2: interview doesn't mean I'm still not mad at you because
Speaker 2: I know you start smoking again.
