<v Speaker 2>Funnily enough, a new Captain American movie's coming out right now.

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:31.479
<v Speaker 2>So here we are Glee News. This week April eighth,

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>the music for bash EP was released. Featured six tracks.

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>There was a lot of music. There's a lot of music,

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 2>including the Amber Riiley original color Blind, And if I

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 2>remember correctly, color Blind was written by the great Emily Sonde,

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 2>who is an incredible singer and songwriter.

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay, now I remember that because I thought Amber

0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 1>brought that to them and wrote it. But I don't

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>think she wrote it, but she brought it to them.

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>She brought it to them, right, Yeah, it was like

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a song she was doing.

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Let me send her a voice note.

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>There's like a lot of controversy around colorblind also.

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Is there like on Reddit? Were you on the Reddit

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:16.679
<v Speaker 2>reading the color Blind?

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I girdled it and like because I was trying to

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>remember if she had written it or like, because I

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>knew it was like her song. I knew there was

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 1>like some version, but it's a little like there she's

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>singing Colorblind to her white boyfriend, like it's that whole thing,

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and I I can see what they're saying, Like he

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>was the one who was like engaging in like Mi

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Greg rassion is the whole episode.

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>And so like I mean, Sam was out of control.

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so then they were like people were like

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>shock that she was singing a song called Colorblind.

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>What it looked like is that they backed into the

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>storyline from Amber bringing them the song, and that was

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 2>like the way that they chose to write it in

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 2>got it. But yeah, then it presents a whole lot

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>of questionable things for sure.

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Also, by the way, Captain America the Winter Soldier at

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>number one, I've seen that over one hundred times and

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I watch it on the regular.

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>You love it, I love it, all said love it.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Our friend Sebastian's in it, of course, which is like,

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, applause. But the movie itself is great. It's

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 1>one of the best Avenger films they have in Marvel World.

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I completely agree, if not the best. I also think,

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, we mentioned Hot Texas Glenn Powell before and

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>like seeing him become a movie star, but Sebastian Stan

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 2>actually was the first one. You were much closer with

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian than I ever was, but he was around and.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Now he's like nominated for an Oscar nominated for it.

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. It's crazy watching all these people. He's unbelievable.

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.839
<v Speaker 1>Captain America's Civil War two top of my list.

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, Oh maybe that's my favorite.

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Actually, Civil Wars excellent. Really big Marvel fans were here.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>It was also announced that Charley McLain would be joining

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the show for several episodes as a New York socialite

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>intent on making Blaine into a star.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Which was a crazy experience. Yeah. That same week, it

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>was announced that the fifth season was reduced to twenty

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 2>episodes instead of twenty two due to the production hiatus

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>at the start of the season. Aha, that makes sense.

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Got it. This was directed by Brad Beaker around my

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:31.919
<v Speaker 1>Ian Brennan.

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>We get whoopee back, which is always a plus. Yes,

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of songs, Jenna, so many songs we

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>have known as alone by Blaine, Kurt and Rachel.

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>You make me feel like a natural woman of course

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>by certain.

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Mercedes, Broadway Baby by Blaine and Rachel. Blaine was singing

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>he was this episode.

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Now while I'm around by Blaine co.

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Ed, Yes, color Blind by Mercedes.

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm Still Here by Kurt. Wow.

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so it was you. I mean it was me,

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 2>then it was you announced Leah. It's Leah's hundredth episode appearance. Hello,

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean as the leader of the show. Basically, she

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 2>finally did it. I don't even remember her not being

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 2>in episodes.

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>There were uh two, I know.

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but there's like no Glee without Rachel.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 1>It's weird, right, it's weird without her. But I think

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 1>there's one episode that we had recently that was just

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>all McKinley. Yes, there was, right, So there's one. This

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 1>isn't an unofficial Stephen Soundheim episode featuring many of his songs.

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>It's unofficial. It should have just been official. We should

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>have just like done it because like I'm a huge

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Steven Soundheim fan. We didn't do Stephen Sondheim. Like we

0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 1>did a little bit of Stephen Seim, but we didn't

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 1>really Stephen Sondheim. No, and they absolutely should have. Could

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you imagine that would have been stacked? That would have

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>been two episodes. If I wasn't in that in any

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>of those I would have been, there would have been flames. Yeah, fury,

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>fury to the end to degree. Steven same is the

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>person that I would have dinner with. You know, when

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>people ask you like alive or Dead? Yes? Do you

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 1>have dinner with Steve?

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Is there a song that you would have wanted to

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>have done on the show from Stephen sometime?

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it's like Sophie's choice. One of my

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>favorite is the Miller's Son and I've never sang it

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>before actually, but the Miller's Son from A Little Night

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Music Jenna.

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 2>It's one of those, like another I have missed opportunity.

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>How do we not do Somehi?

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, And I think they were like, oop,

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>let's just do a bunch of some time.

0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean yeah, like Darren said, he pitched one,

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>but of course this is as closest we got. But

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>that would got to do a bunch of them. Yeah,

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.799
<v Speaker 2>that's true, that makes sense. Okay. This is the second

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 2>time Mercedes sings two solos and a single episode. It's

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.679
<v Speaker 2>been a while, though, This is the first since.

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Grilled Jesus, Give Me More. This is also the second

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>time that Mercedes sings two solos too or about the

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>same person in a single episode, the first being Grilled

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Jesus when she sang to Kurt and now obviously with

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Them Sam.

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>And with Colorblind. This is the second time an actor

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>sings their own song in an episode, the first being

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Matt Morrison, who sang still Got Tonight in New.

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>York, That's Right, and the episode version of not Well

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Around is a live solo by Blaine, whereas the

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 1>studio version also includes Mercedes Rachel musam Really.

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 2>This is the third time Darren performs a live solo

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>version of a song. The other two r Teenage Dream

<v Speaker 1>We got a lot of her, though. I will say

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>it like I feel like I got my carbon to

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>show Phil it's true.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.320

<v Speaker 2>be there. I would also like to point out we

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 2>mentioned before that we last episode we were using all

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the same locations in New York. We got a new

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>location this episode. It is the carousel in Brooklyn.

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.680

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:36.439
<v Speaker 1>real carousel, a real location. We love it. It is beautiful.

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was. It was used beautifully as well, like,

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>let's use a location.

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 2>We start using it again, it comes back. Jenna, Sure, yes,

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.600

<v Speaker 2>her role an funny girl. Meanwhile, Kurt is the victim

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>of an attack because of his sexual preference. Oh see

<v Speaker 2>the way they say that, Yeah, what a different time.

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 2>That was the official Fox publicity summary from back then.

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>So all right, all right, it's a preference, Jenna.

<v Speaker 1>in tech for a funny girl. Everybody knows in the

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>theater world, if you're in tech, you're not getting out.

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>But somehow she manages to get the producer to say

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:46.439
<v Speaker 1>yes to letting her go to do her Midwinter critique,

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>which I will say to start, I was like, oh,

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.080
<v Speaker 1>she's still in school, Like, good for her, but also,

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>if you are in a school to be a star

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>on Broadway and then you're just become a star on Broadway.

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Like defer, yeah, why are you going to school for

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 2>the thing you're already doing? You're good. Yeah, So her

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>point is valid because she does bring that up though, right, yes,

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>that's true.

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people would be like, oh, you know,

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>it's good to get your degree and finish. But like,

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 1>nobody we know goes to school for theater except for

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>me for college, you know what I mean.

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 2>The thing is with her, her whole point is, yeah,

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 2>she does manage to get out. She does a performance,

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and then Thibodeau's like, no, that was a duet. You're

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.959
<v Speaker 2>supposed to do a solo, and she's going to fail them.

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like, okay, now i'll give you a second chance,

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 2>you can redo it. But of course it was already

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.200
<v Speaker 2>pain in the ass to get out in the first place,

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 2>to do that one performance for Thibodeau. And so as

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 2>much as we want to give Rachel shit for being

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, a little crazy, sometimes especially lately, she's really

0:10:55.080 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 2>feeling herself. I think her point stands here, like you

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 2>just said, where she decides that she doesn't need me

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 2>at it and she's going to quit. Correct because Thibodeau

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>is not working with her. I can't come back and

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.440
<v Speaker 2>do this. I didn't have time. We're in tech and

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 2>so I feel like, you know, the initial reaction for

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 2>some maybe like oh, there's Rachel being Rachel again, like, well, no,

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>actually she does have a point.

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 1>No, she does have a point.

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I are you explaining to people who don't know what

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>tech is? What tech is?

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So you go into rehearsal spur a show, right, Kevin.

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Rehearse for a show in a studio, usually they draw

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>out like fake lines for the state measurements of the

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>stage and your numbers so that you know where you

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.679
<v Speaker 1>are on the stage. And then you get into the

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>theater and before you can run the show in the theater,

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>on the stage, they have to teck it. That means

0:11:53.040 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>that everybody comes together, sound lights, director, staging. It's just

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>all the actors and it is laborious. It is so slow.

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>You are there for hours. You just bring like bring

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>bring something to knit. Yeah, sit backstage and just be

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>know what you're in for. And and basically you go

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>like mark to mark, scene to scene, spot to spot

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that everything is in its place. You're

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>lick correctly, your your sound is correct, you're in the

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>right place. It feels good the whole thing.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's for every department, So like lighting those where

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>they're supposed to be, and sound knows where they're supposed

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>to be, hitting in certain songs, all of that, yes.

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>And ever so that everybody's in sync when you start

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to run the show. So it is, and it's necessary

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>for everybody to be there. It's not like, oh, you

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>get a stand in.

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 2>How long does a show normally when they're putting up

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 2>a show, how long does tech normally last?

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Like two days?

0:12:58.440 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So okay, so it's.

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Not yeah, no, no, no, it's like two days. Like

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>everybody like does their prep work right, and then you

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 1>get in and like and then everybody adjusts.

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just a long two days.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>How long was your chech for smelling babe? Like a day?

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so that seems right.

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was like two half days basically.

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Rachel performed. Well, first, let's talk about this. Because they perform,

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>they're super excited about doing this Winter critique, and Blaine

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and Rachel decide to do a duet. They do Broadway Baby.

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Why we had to do Broadway Baby was it supposed

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to be like not the best, not in terms of

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>like their performance, like obviously Lea Darren sound great, and

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>like they look great.

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 2>They do look better than ever.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Right, But the song itself, to me is like that's

0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the song you're gonna pick all the time songs.

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>It seems like they should know better, yes, right, the

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 2>characters should know better because they're like theater geeks like

0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>they yeah.

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was a weird song choice.

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I also have a question logistically, wouldn't Blaine and Rachel

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 2>be in different years?

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>None of that matters, okay, I mean they're performing in

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a concert hall with lighting and a piano, like with

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>cabaret tables, So that's true. Is like I'm like, okay,

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what college looks like.

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm also this new version of Glee they are. The

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 2>production is very different because how little is actually on

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>the stages now where the concert hall is a real

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 2>concert hall in downtown LA. We're using some downtown LA

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 2>for exteriors or using a lot of actual New York

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>for exteriors. The production is very different.

0:14:58.960 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 2>A lot on the go, yeah, a lot on the goal.

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, I really enjoyed watching them perform totally.

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I just was like, why is it both follies when

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Steven Sonheim has a hundred other shows, right, but that

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>we do two songs from Follies. Anyway, Okay, I've said

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>my piece on that. Moving on, I guess the whole

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>thing is that Rachel, like Carmen's like, look, you have

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>to show up or you're going to fail. You have

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to do your you have to reschedule, or I'm going

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to fail you. Which, to be fair, this was my life.

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I was working and doing this show called Yankees on

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Deck at the time for the Yankees Network, the s Network,

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was performing. I was doing that on the

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 1>weekends and during the week I had to travel a

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit and then I would go back to school

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of these classes are performance based. You

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>can't just sit in a lecture hall take notes. Somebody

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>can photocopy them for you. Well, on exam, like, you

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 1>have to be there. And I was at the risk

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>of failing, like a couple of times they were like,

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to fail you if you don't show up,

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, WHOA.

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 2>How did you manage to because you also graduated in

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 2>three years?

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was a whole other thing. But I managed

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to somehow show up enough for class for the rest

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>of the year, and then I took extra courses outside

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of school though, like the liberal arts courses that I

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>had to take, math and you know, ridiculous psychology like

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>psych one oh one. I took all those online. They

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>were like courses available, so I was able to like

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 1>take multiple credits, yes exactly. But she quits and I

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>don't blame her. I actually don't blame her. Now there's

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>like it's like a cliffhanger because like, obviously her whole

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 1>life has been revolving around getting into Nyada, going to Nyada,

0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden she's like.

0:16:59.440 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>See it.

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:06.120
<v Speaker 1>But I don't blame her. I was, but of course

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a TV show.

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 2>So I was thinking about that a lot, because how

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.400
<v Speaker 2>often when you get these opportunities, you don't know when

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 2>they're going to come. And like, how her, like you said,

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 2>her storyline has just been so wrapped around getting to

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 2>New York and getting into Niyada when she discovered Niada existed, right,

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 2>And it seems crazy to just sort of on the surface,

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 2>it feels crazy to just get rid of it all

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.880
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, like, oh, she's just quitting. It feels

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.680
<v Speaker 2>like she just got there once. She's been there for

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:41.160
<v Speaker 2>a hot minute. Two she got the dream role, right,

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:42.880
<v Speaker 2>she's already doing it right.

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing.

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 2>These things happened. I was signed up for a full

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.680
<v Speaker 2>semester of college courses. I only found this out during

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the pandemic because I decided to take some classes again.

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't drop any of them. And did you

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>just fail them? F's for an entire semester of full

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 2>course load because I got glee and so I was

0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 2>just like, wow, I don't even remember. I was so

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 2>stoked that I have zero memory of ever signing up

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:14.119
<v Speaker 2>for these classes.

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 1>That's really funny.

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like what yeah, I got my script. I was like,

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:22.919
<v Speaker 2>what do you so?

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 2>These things do happen? I was a year out of

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 2>high school and yeah, I had plans to go to

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 2>college but.

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Whoops, whoopsies you know, yeah, no for sure. Okay, well

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:41.919
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of the story of Rachel Rachel. Rachel quits NATA. Meanwhile,

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Blaine's gonna go back and he's gonna kind of tagging

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.399
<v Speaker 1>this on to the end of her storyline. He is

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 1>going to go back and he's gonna perform not while

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm around by Toby from Sweeney Chad. So he does

0:18:55.800 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that a beautiful version of the song and fulfills his

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 1>requirement that carbon Thibodeaux requests in order for him to

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>continue on.

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I do think these songs really suit.

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Him, he belongs.

0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like it makes sense, Like I it sounds good

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.879
<v Speaker 2>on him. I really enjoyed it. Great choice, you alsay,

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 2>just to go back real quick. I know Lee has

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.159
<v Speaker 2>been doing a lot of musical theaters singing on the

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 2>show lately, but you know, for seasons we were getting

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of like pop songs, but like you, her

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Bread and Butter is theater, and so it is really

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 2>nice to be able to have an excuse to get

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>like the two of them to do music.

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, agreed, I'm totally into it. It's like they're very versatile.

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:48.360
<v Speaker 1>This is their read and Butter.

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 2>But this feels different.

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>And we really don't see Daren do a lot of Broadway.

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.920
<v Speaker 1>We do see him do a lot more pop, so

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:56.400
<v Speaker 1>this is actually really nice.

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 2>A lot of like alt rock, pop rock things, and

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 2>he's getting to really into this side, which I also

0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.439
<v Speaker 2>can't you know, if you guys, listen to our interview

0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 2>with Darren and he talks about how he sort of

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:12.000
<v Speaker 2>stumbled into musical theater. I can't get past that, I know,

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.239
<v Speaker 2>especially looking at him now and maybe happy Ending and

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.199
<v Speaker 2>you know all the Broadway shows he's done, right, But

0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 2>every time you start singing one of these things, I

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 2>keep thinking of that.

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>No, for sure, it is funny because people spend their

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:31.439
<v Speaker 1>whole lives with like a track of Broadway, right, like

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that's the track, and it was like, not, that was

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:35.960
<v Speaker 1>not his journey at all.

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 2>No, but he's just so musically gifted.

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he can. And he's like his camp totally works

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.920
<v Speaker 1>with Broadway. Like he has this camp side of him

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 1>that totally works. True, not saying that his performances are camp,

0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 1>but it's just like there's this tone or vibe that.

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 2>He also can appreciate like different, He can appreciate any

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 2>genre of anything and really like nerd out and get

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 2>into it, and so he can also want to go

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 2>for like no, it's like he's yeah, just likes you

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>can just do it. You can do it, Okay, So

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Mercedes and Sam are have this.

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Really I didn't even realize that it got this deep

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and we kind of fall into this storyline. I just

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:33.919
<v Speaker 1>totally forgot about it, but I did remember Color Colorblind

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 1>because there was just a lot of press around it

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:40.360
<v Speaker 1>at the time. Amber having her song come in and

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.719
<v Speaker 1>whether she wrote it or not, like she was she

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 1>recorded this song, right, I.

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Mean, and we were all, like I think probably a

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of the fans of the show, waiting for Amber

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 2>to put out her own music.

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 1>She had said like, you gotta wait, you gotta wait.

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you you know, she sent you a lot of music, but.

0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Just unbelievable.

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So there's this like very cute scene in the

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:09.399
<v Speaker 1>beginning where Sam's like eating cereal and Mercedes and like

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:11.360
<v Speaker 1>they're hanging out as.

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Roommates and they were roommates and.

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Their sexual chemistry is undeniable, and they end up looking

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 1>up and Mercedes wants to like keep it hush hush,

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 1>but she introduces Sam to her friend Oh Lord, in

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:36.120
<v Speaker 1>like the cringiest of cringiest scenes in the entire series.

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh ask me, And it's like, for Cord, it hurts

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 1>my heart, it hurts my heart, for Mercedes and for

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>her friends, and it's just it's just wrong. Yeah, And

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to pass over this scene. Even though it's

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 1>just it's wrong. It's wrong in every way, shape and form.

0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 1>We do address it at least, like I'm glad that

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>we address it and that it's talked about. It's not

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 1>just him throwing out these lines and like us kind

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of moving past it right correct. And there's also this

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 1>this conflict of her saying she can't then she breaks

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 1>up with them, and she says, I can't date you.

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.640
<v Speaker 1>There's like the career aspect of it and her record.

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>There's like people in her ear, you know, justifiably I

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know, so like you know, saying like you can't

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:34.720
<v Speaker 1>date him, you shouldn't be dating him. So she breaks

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 1>up with him. We'll get into more of that the

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:43.639
<v Speaker 1>context of this relationship, but we do get Ambers. You

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>make me feel like a natural woman.

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean yeah, just put it on loop.

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Put it on loop, put me in front of a carasel,

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:56.480
<v Speaker 1>put it on loop. Listen to it all day. Why

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 1>is it so good?

0:23:57.480 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 2>If you're an Amber slash Mercedes fan? This is a

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 2>dream episode at musically because yes, yes, I also love

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Emily Sonde and she can write a melody love and

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Anderson's so good on it an internatural woman like, are

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:19.200
<v Speaker 2>you kidding me? I'm surprised it's taken this long, right,

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I was like, she doesn't yeah, I said, I'm like

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 2>what wait, it's so good, it's so why do they

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:30.320
<v Speaker 2>do a Carol King episode? You know what? I don't know.

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know, because you'd think Ryan

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>too would definitely want a Carolk That would have been unbelievable,

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the different versions you can do it for music well,

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and then Mussa the Noois did Carol King on Broadway.

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Crazy beautiful, Okay, I hate this whole thing of like

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>and I'm I'm glad that they acknowledge it. When one

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 1>of her friends, like the backup singer Tesla, says like,

0:24:56.920 --> 0:24:58.679
<v Speaker 1>if you date a white dude, you're gonna alienate all

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the black women and you're gonna you're going to piss

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 1>off all the black men, and like it's it's so

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>real in like the industry that we work in, Like

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 1>how strategic they want you to be m mm hmm.

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:16.199
<v Speaker 1>And then you add race into it and you're like,

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy, like why are we even effing talking

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 1>about this? But it's a real, it is it is

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 1>frusculation so I appreciate them acknowledging it.

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I would like to ask Amber about this storyline next

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.959
<v Speaker 2>time she comes on right how she felt about it.

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure. I think though with what they had

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to work with, Amber and Cord were beautiful. They did

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful job. I all day long should have endgame

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 1>for them, like love them.

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Really do. And I think it's such a fine line

0:25:54.880 --> 0:26:00.880
<v Speaker 2>for coord as an actor doing uncomfort things like this

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:05.119
<v Speaker 2>to make you not want to hate the character and

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:08.320
<v Speaker 2>not be so overt and obvious with what you're doing

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 2>where he's still very much Sam doing this, We're like,

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 2>we know this character, we know his intention. That does

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 2>not make it right what he's saying totally, but like

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:22.400
<v Speaker 2>he's and he's also sort of like slowly twisting that

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 2>knife of uncomfortableness the whole time, like I want to

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:29.400
<v Speaker 2>crawl out of my skin, which is hard to do,

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and he was so good. And then Amber on the

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 2>flip side of it, seeing that handling it was also

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 2>like walk that tightrope beautifully did.

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and she's embarrassed with her friends like that the

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:48.359
<v Speaker 1>cringiest seen like, but yet she knows Sam is good

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 1>at his core.

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:53.399
<v Speaker 2>We've all dated people we've had to apologize for a

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:54.080
<v Speaker 2>little bit.

0:26:54.040 --> 0:27:00.159
<v Speaker 1>Right, totally, totally. The whole storyline itself wasn't cringey. I

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 1>appreciate them acknowledging that, and like they're an interracial couple,

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:09.440
<v Speaker 1>like we let's talk about it. We always doesn't try

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 1>away from storylines. But did we have to put in

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 1>those that scene with those I don't know if you

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 1>can come and call them jokes or what they were

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:30.680
<v Speaker 1>intended to be, But like I just was like, no, no, I.

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Mean to be fair, Like we sort of live in

0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:39.399
<v Speaker 2>our bubble, right, we're very much protected. And when I

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:44.640
<v Speaker 2>go back to Texas to visit family and I'm around

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 2>some of my siblings friends or friends of friends, they

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 2>say some questions wild shit, and I'm always very audibly

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:58.159
<v Speaker 2>like what yeah, yeah, yeah, I like, you can't My

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 2>friend here has as his little brother who's in town

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 2>from the rural town he's from, yeah, and has said

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 2>some wild things. God, oh, you can't be you can't

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 2>be saying that, and so okay, it's like it is

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 2>hard to watch, it's really uncomfortable. But these guys are

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:20.159
<v Speaker 2>from a small town and trying to fit into a

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:25.479
<v Speaker 2>new city quickly. Yeah, and the pure panic in his

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:27.880
<v Speaker 2>eyes he does, he becomes like sort of the worst

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:31.359
<v Speaker 2>version of himself. Yeah, and it's a learning moment.

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, no, definitely, it's like.

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no no. And I think when as Glee

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 2>ever shied away from doing that, even as uncomfortable as

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 2>it may it.

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah crazy. Also Sam just had to mark this

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:49.240
<v Speaker 1>when they're making up, when they've kind of they're having

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:52.080
<v Speaker 1>there come to Jesus moment and and Sam's like, this

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>isn't new, Mercedes. When we were in Glee club, there

0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:57.600
<v Speaker 1>are all different types of people. There was gay, straight, black, white, Tina.

0:28:57.680 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 1>It didn't I.

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I lost it.

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I just loved it.

0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 2>And maybe Gigle even when Tina's not there, they're still

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:15.400
<v Speaker 2>kicking her, kicking girl down. It was so good, Like

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 2>it was good. See you were still there in spirit.

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Always and and and Mercedes kind of admitting that, like

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 1>she can't believe she even said that, right, like she

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 1>said that, and I and she was definitely moved. I

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>think also they were all everybody was moved by the

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Kurt plot that we're going to talk about as well,

0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and like had these like real deep realizations, you know,

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 1>me not dating someone because they're white. It is like

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 1>me telling someone I can't be their friend because they're gay. Sam,

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm not gay. But like it was a These

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:59.720
<v Speaker 1>are like real, real conversations, and I really I thought

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:06.479
<v Speaker 1>there were so well handled, given the cringe scene and

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 1>like the tie up for it all and the two

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 1>of them really I don't know coming together and having

0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 1>these conversations, because how can you not you know, how

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 1>can you ignore something like that? And then and Mercedes

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:27.520
<v Speaker 1>sings Colorblind to him, and boy, oh boy, is that

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>not one of my favorites?

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 2>So I asked Amber how Colored Wine happened, and she said,

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Emily Sanda wrote it, she thinks with Claude Kelly, who's

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 2>another incredible songwriter. Claude was working with Amber on her

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 2>album and so Amber recorded it and Emily liked it

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and said she could have it, and then she pitched

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 2>it to the show.

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow that's what happened.

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Whow Now that's a team Emily Sonde, Claude Kelly and

0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Amber Eiley.

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember that song like me appreciating that song

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 1>like I do now.

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I think she went on like the Ellen Show she

0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 2>did like she was reforming that place is yeah, oh god.

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>It was so good though, like and then watching it

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>with the episode, I think that was also the most

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 1>powerful too, because like, this episode as a whole, which

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 1>we didn't talk about, was like a very very different

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>tone than obviously New New York. But I still loved it.

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I was totally into it, and I think it's great.

0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 2>It's sort of like honeymoon phase is over. We got

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 2>one episode of honeymoon phase, and now it's very much

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 2>here are the real things happening in these people's lives

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 2>and how we're harsh city beautiful.

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>At first, I was like, oh no, like when they

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 1>when the episode opened, I was like, I don't know

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 1>about this. And then when Kirk gets beat up and

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that whole like second act, I was like, I let's

0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>talk about this into it, okay, haven't.

0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 2>So the episode opens on like this beautiful acapella known

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 2>as alone by Blurt, gorgeous blurt, blurt by Blurt by Blank,

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Kurt and Rachel walking on the street in New York

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to a memorial site for this guy who got I

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Hate Grimed. Basically that's what it's alluded to, who was

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:27.560
<v Speaker 2>also Chris's stand in in real life.

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was so funny the picture.

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 2>You seeing out his picture of her, I'm like, that

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 2>is Chris's stand in. At first, I was like, where

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 2>are we going with this? Yes?

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Are we just going to like is it just going

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to happen? And we're going to like pass over it?

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know what I mean, Like I just didn't know.

0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:50.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm glad that it went where it went totally.

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Kurt, it's very It weighed very heavy. Young

0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Kurt and everybody took it very seriously.

0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 2>And Rachel is coming in on a very different wavelength

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 2>than Kurt is, because Rachel's coming off this like riding

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 2>high of like I quit, I made this crazy big decision,

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 2>but like here I am. And she's just like a rocket,

0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 2>just like shooting off. And she meets up with Kurt

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and Kurt gives her a bunch of flag for it. Basically,

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 2>he confronts her about quitting YadA and they get into

0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 2>this fight and Rachel's like, you're afraid to take risks

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 2>and grow up? I'm growing up and she storms out.

0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:41.160
<v Speaker 2>That's it very Rachel, Barry and Kurt's left alone and

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 2>on his way out, you know, he's still shaken from

0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:48.560
<v Speaker 2>their friends and neighbor getting beat up that he sees

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 2>someone getting beat up in the alley and he runs

0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 2>into it to confront them, helps the guy get away,

0:33:53.840 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and then he ends up getting beaten up. Very brave

0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:03.480
<v Speaker 2>of Kurt, yes, which again you know, here are people

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:05.760
<v Speaker 2>adapting to the big city again where he would have

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:09.600
<v Speaker 2>done this in Ohio all day. I mean, think about

0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the experiences he's been through. This is not something he's

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 2>necessarily afraid of, right, right, And so he runs towards

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the fire.

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Basically, which Bert's like, why didn't you just call the cops.

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:26.320
<v Speaker 2>You don't have time to call the cops.

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 1>You don't have time to call the cops, and the

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.120
<v Speaker 1>cops probably wouldn't come anyway.

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 2>But but we had a Burton Curt scene, So a

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:36.839
<v Speaker 2>beautiful Burton curtsyne I know.

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so this create ends up in the hospital, everybody,

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>all these different shots of people, all all of you

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:48.239
<v Speaker 1>guys finding out about Kurt is also really well done.

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Like if this were if I didn't know better, this

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 1>would have been like an Alfonso episode to me, totally

0:34:55.760 --> 0:35:01.520
<v Speaker 1>also Beaker so good they that was really powerful, and

0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>then seeing Kurt in the hospital, it was really emotional.

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:15.200
<v Speaker 1>And I hadn't expected that. I didn't expect that. It

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:19.919
<v Speaker 1>also feels like what's going on in the world, which

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:25.359
<v Speaker 1>I won't get too far into but is important is

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:29.359
<v Speaker 1>it felt very timely and I cannot believe we're still here.

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're here in a hard way, like we've

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 2>really come crashing back.

0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:43.799
<v Speaker 1>M hmmm, actually farther backwards. So it's just terrifying. But yeah,

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I think the emotion was like with what's happening. It

0:35:46.960 --> 0:35:52.399
<v Speaker 1>feels too relevant too, and also just devastating.

0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 2>It reminded me how quickly these things can spin out

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:58.120
<v Speaker 2>of control. Yeah, because it's like one thing leads to

0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 2>another and you start to see patterns good or bad.

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 2>They usually gain momentum in whatever direction they're heading. And

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.879
<v Speaker 2>it's like it reminded me of when these things were

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:12.000
<v Speaker 2>more common and when you see them than other people

0:36:12.040 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 2>get the idea to do it and they feel more

0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 2>comfortable doing it. And what scares me now is that

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:20.760
<v Speaker 2>happening again and it seems like everything is just turned

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:27.080
<v Speaker 2>up and like what that could mean for vulnerable communities.

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it made me think of that as well.

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, especially when he's like, I mean, this

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:33.880
<v Speaker 1>is New York. I just didn't think this would happen here.

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think it's about New York. It is,

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:41.239
<v Speaker 2>and you can I mean, you've lived there, you're from there,

0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:44.839
<v Speaker 2>you can tell me if I'm wrong. There's also this,

0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I know, I don't want to get too into the

0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 2>weeds here about it, but New York is the biggest

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:55.080
<v Speaker 2>city in the country, so you have more of everything. Yeah,

0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 2>for sure, there's more good and there's more bad because

0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:00.920
<v Speaker 2>there's just more of it. Yeah, don't really the good

0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 2>outweighs the bad generally. Yeah, but because they's just a

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:09.920
<v Speaker 2>bigger volume of people, these things are going to happen

0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:14.600
<v Speaker 2>because everybody is forced to come together. That's the beauty

0:37:14.640 --> 0:37:17.640
<v Speaker 2>of it. Where you, like Bert says, you wouldn't think

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:20.400
<v Speaker 2>this would happen because everybody is around a lot of

0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:23.360
<v Speaker 2>different types of people. And again, generally that is the sense.

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, you get a few cases like this and

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:29.479
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden people think the whole place

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:30.080
<v Speaker 2>is unsafe.

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:30.879
<v Speaker 1>That's not right.

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:31.880
<v Speaker 2>That's what happens.

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And the way Kurt handles is also like pretty

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting. He's like, I'm not even that upset about it.

0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:45.200
<v Speaker 1>He's like, you know, I just think he's Kurt has

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:51.440
<v Speaker 1>seen a lot like Chris like, and it's really brave

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the way he responds this. And I don't know, I

0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 1>just thought the whole thing was handled really well. And

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:07.719
<v Speaker 1>that scene with Burt and Kurt like fathered a son

0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:12.400
<v Speaker 1>was so impactful.

0:38:12.320 --> 0:38:14.600
<v Speaker 2>To see the evolution of where they've come from, because

0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I always think about like the single lady days, which

0:38:18.400 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 2>coming down the stairs and seeing and where they are

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:24.239
<v Speaker 2>now they're talking like it's father and son, but it's

0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:29.520
<v Speaker 2>also like, yeah, like they are adults now, it's an adult

0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:33.480
<v Speaker 2>to adult and they are the sum of their experiences

0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 2>up to that point. So like, as a fan of

0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:39.960
<v Speaker 2>their characters, it does feel different. Yeah, definitely and earned

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:43.120
<v Speaker 2>in that way, which is really nice. Definitely, And then

0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Kurt sing's his Niyata song and we get a beautiful

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:53.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm still here. This is the one that I was

0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:53.680
<v Speaker 2>talking about.

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:57.800
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny because like everybody's there for his winter

0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>like critique. Yes, everybody's supporting him. Of course, said to me,

0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, what's the deal.

0:39:08.520 --> 0:39:11.799
<v Speaker 2>I think this was where there was something lost in translation.

0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I think they were writing me out of this episode.

0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:18.640
<v Speaker 2>I see for the movie I was supposed to do,

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 2>but they were a week off. Got it?

0:39:21.880 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 1>That would make sense, Kevin, because I was like, where's Artie?

0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Me too, but I think that's so I like

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:32.439
<v Speaker 2>sort of had more time off, but I wasn't gone yet,

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:33.359
<v Speaker 2>got it?

0:39:33.440 --> 0:39:35.000
<v Speaker 1>You were just prepping to be one.

0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, miscommunication behind the scenes here. Well, Christmas performance is awesome.

0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:43.719
<v Speaker 2>I loved watching it. I was laughing because I was like,

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 2>he brought in lights. I guess Kurt would bring in

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:50.480
<v Speaker 2>lights and effects and cabaret tables of course, yes, the

0:39:50.480 --> 0:39:50.960
<v Speaker 2>whole thing.

0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:55.120
<v Speaker 1>And of course like Carmen's you know, smiling because she

0:39:55.239 --> 0:39:58.839
<v Speaker 1>has to be at this point like he's just been

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:07.520
<v Speaker 1>through hell and that's that's it. That's that's the thing.

0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:15.520
<v Speaker 2>And it's a really heavy episode. But it doesn't feel

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:18.879
<v Speaker 2>too much. No, it doesn't feel like too much. It's

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:19.840
<v Speaker 2>really well balanced.

0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:23.439
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, New York's got to groove to it, doesn't it?

0:40:23.440 --> 0:40:26.279
<v Speaker 1>It does, and I am I'm into it. Let's grade

0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:33.239
<v Speaker 1>some performances, Okay, no one is alone be plus yeah,

0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:35.200
<v Speaker 1>B plus you make me feel like an after a

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:40.279
<v Speaker 1>woman A plus A plus Broadway baby, not while I'm

0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:47.640

<v Speaker 1>A plus. Wow, I got a lot of B pluses

0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:53.000
<v Speaker 1>in that love this I do. I'm loving this.

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's because you haven't seen it, so it's

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:57.080
<v Speaker 2>just something I think.

0:40:57.200 --> 0:40:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I think part of it is, like it's really exciting.

0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I think part of it was like my expectations were

0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:03.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of low, but like that's not to say that

0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:07.600
<v Speaker 1>this is this is like, this is far exceeding my expectations.

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I am like into it. I am here for this.

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I love this spinoff, give me all of it. I

0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:16.440
<v Speaker 1>also think it's like the pressures off of Tina and

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.040
<v Speaker 1>my feelings towards the show as a person in it,

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Like I am like enjoying this as a viewer, Like

0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:26.959
<v Speaker 1>I somehow the ad I'm able to watch Glee as

0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:28.879
<v Speaker 1>a fan, do you know what I mean?

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Like this is fun. I'm excited for that experience in

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:35.719
<v Speaker 2>six Yes, totally you should be.

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's see some tardy takes the cringe moments.

0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Cringe is obviously the sam it was on purpose, but

0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:57.480
<v Speaker 2>still yeah, hard to walk the stands move? Oh, I

0:41:57.560 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 2>mean there were dancers on the carousel. That's the one stunning.

0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:05.520
<v Speaker 2>The one stunning, beautiful. Best song.

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:15.399
<v Speaker 1>Colorblind, Natural Woman, Whoa both Amber songs. Okay, I gotta

0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:17.680
<v Speaker 1>listen to Colorline again. Hold on, I'm just gonna put

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:18.680
<v Speaker 1>this on my spot.

0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Put on the playlist. Everybody added to your playlist, get Amber,

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 2>some of those streams. Best performance by Prop, the Cereal Ball,

0:42:29.760 --> 0:42:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I like the kazoo.

0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's a good one too, best line.

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:41.879
<v Speaker 2>I think you mentioned it, Oh, the Tina one. And

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:45.480
<v Speaker 2>then absolutely Sam being like we're in glee club. There

0:42:45.480 --> 0:42:52.400
<v Speaker 2>are all different types of people, like the full line Tina,

0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:53.320
<v Speaker 2>it didn't matter.

0:42:54.800 --> 0:42:57.439
<v Speaker 1>And then also when Mercedes is like, you know, that'd

0:42:57.480 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 1>be like saying I couldn't be a friend to THEE

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:03.680
<v Speaker 1>because they're and he's like, I'm not gay. Yes, Chord

0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:06.719
<v Speaker 1>just coming in with the lines performance m VP.

0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 2>This is getting hard. It's really good. It's all things,

0:43:14.239 --> 0:43:18.080
<v Speaker 2>and they're all doing it really well. Like I don't

0:43:18.120 --> 0:43:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:22.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I will say that the scenes m VY.

0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:25.160
<v Speaker 1>There's two m VP scenes for me, which is the

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Burton Kurt scene and the Cord and Mercedes scene. And

0:43:31.800 --> 0:43:37.799
<v Speaker 1>I think that I think Chord gets it because that

0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:40.960
<v Speaker 1>is a really hard thing to do. Like you said,

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:47.040
<v Speaker 1>without being like his character is starting to feel become

0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:49.640
<v Speaker 1>a villain, right like like you you want to hate

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:52.480
<v Speaker 1>them because of it, and you still don't. And somehow

0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:59.440
<v Speaker 1>he managed to make this, he still managed to not

0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:02.200
<v Speaker 1>make that who he was, but like something that he

0:44:02.239 --> 0:44:04.120
<v Speaker 1>can learn from and a choice of that he made,

0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:07.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I I really I thought he did

0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:09.080
<v Speaker 1>it so well.

0:44:10.040 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I would like to point out another scene. And I think,

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:17.960
<v Speaker 2>because they're both so good, we might take it for granted.

0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Lee and Chris, Leah and Chris and Leah and Whoopie.

0:44:24.560 --> 0:44:29.720
<v Speaker 2>She's going up against Whoopie. Yeah, that's fair. I'd forget

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:34.520
<v Speaker 2>that's their and you don't question it, right, you don't.

0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:38.239
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a good point. It's really good. I don't

0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:41.680
<v Speaker 2>know so I think I think Cord overall.

0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:48.680
<v Speaker 1>But but these honorable scene mentioned, yes, yes, for sure?

0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, okay, Jenna, Okay. I don't know if
