We start that roller coaster pre him being the 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:21.639 flash m hm, and I didn't realize he came in, 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.200 so well we'll get there. But I was like, oh, 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:26.600 Grant's coming in hot. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:31.240 Oh yeah, I know, okay. Grant also, fun fact, was 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.880 in the national tour of The West Side Story right 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:39.080 before this, right before he started Glee and now is 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:40.720 in Angle. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.920 So he was being haunted by West Side Story. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:47.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a great show. Okay, fun facts. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.560 We've got some fun facts for this episode. So Kevin, 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.240 this is Artie's first voiceover of the series. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.160 I could tell because someone wasn't very good at them. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.760 So when you do the voiceovers for this, for any only, 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.760 usually it's like the end of the day. The mike, 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.320 like the boom operator, who is like one of our 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.360 main sound guys. They come over, you stand with the 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.240 director literally like holding your lines, and you read it 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.360 a few times. That's at least my experience. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.840 On the soundstage, you're not in a recording shat or 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.480 anything like that. They just pull you aside and. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.440 People are like finishing their day. It's so weird. You're 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.200 not in like a recording booth. You're not like doing 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.440 it a million times. You probably get two or three 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.400 and you're like, oh, right, got it. So that for 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.560 people who didn't know, this is the second episode to 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:41.360 not feature any solos, only duets or group numbers. Interesting. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.039 Wow, the person was Vitamin D, which was so long ago. 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:50.680 Wow. West Side story performance shown in the episode was 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:56.400 actually strictly forbidden. So MTI, the company that licenses the show. 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.599 Every show has a licensing company they go it, so 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.800 this one's with MTI, and they strictly forbid any group 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.760 performing the musical for making changes to the original musicals, books, 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:12.880 song or story. Changing the dialogue of the musical to 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.960 match the nineteen sixty one film version is also forbidden, 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.720 which is also done. So we had a lot of penalties. 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.080 I don't know what happened, but we're really not supposed 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.120 to do a lot of this stuff. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.599 Do you think we got in trouble or we asked 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:26.240 for permission? 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.159 No? I think we just did it, and then I 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.120 think we just then we just went with it. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.159 Damn. This is the second episode to show a viewer 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.880 discretion advice content rating message right before the airing of 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.839 this episode, the first being sexy hmmm interesting. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.320 Rachel also said she wasn't going to lose he virginity 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.400 until she turned twenty five and what had wanted Tony 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.839 and her Broadway career was established, which Finn does allude 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:58.040 to about winning our Tony, but that goes to crap. 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:03.880 Brittany had a very controversial line in this episode when 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.120 there are people were talking about their first times, she 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.760 says she just climbed into my tent alien invasion, and 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:15.400 that obviously led to people debating whether not Britney was 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:20.960 sexually assaulted during her first time. Although it's Brittany and 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.560 so maybe she was just confused about the situation and 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.840 making a joke that fascinating. I didn't even when she said, 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:34.640 I was like, oh that hmm. It did make me wonder, 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.400 you know, huh. Also in Latin America, the part where 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.800 Curtin and Blank kiss was cut when the episode was aired. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.560 Oh no, yeah, no. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:44.160 Hell no. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.360 Screen copies of this episode was sent to a number 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.880 of critics before the show. My gloss Yellow shout out. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.560 He from tv Line he called it stellar in a 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:58.080 standout episode, and Enter Team in Weekly's Tin Stack wrote 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.800 that it was one of Glee's best in stallments ever 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.920 and an exceptional episode. This is so interesting to me, 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:08.800 too fascinating. So prior to the broadcast, Chris anticipated that 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.280 the episode sexual themes a lah him and him and Darren, 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:18.080 you know, doing the deed and content would prove controversial 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.240 among television watchdog groups. He said, I absolutely expect to 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:23.760 hear from them, but I don't. But I think it's 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.520 handled very sweetly and very emotionally. They're expecting this big, raunchy, 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.600 suggestive brainwashing storyline when it's really very very sweet. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.600 And before the episode aired, the Conservative Parents Television Council 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:41.080 called the show reprehensible and the Fox network reckless for 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.760 celebrating teen sex. Where had they been the past two seasons? 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:50.400 We literally did like a virgin montage, Like, you know, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:55.680 people just want controversy and just want some free press. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.240 That's not what was happening. But Jenna thoughts about this 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:04.000 episode because well hold on, so they summary of the 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.680 episode is under Artie's director or leadership. The kids prepare 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.360 to perform the school musical West Side Story, which leads 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.680 to two couples to take their next step in their 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:18.520 relationship Wanky. Meanwhile, Finn meets with a recruiter and Coach 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.320 Beast has an admirer. You and I were just talking 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.880 about how we feel about this episode before we started recording, Yeah, 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.760 because it felt like there was a lot of ground 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.880 to cover. It felt like there were about eighty storylines 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.319 happening in this right and also like the full length 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.920 version of America totally right, like there was a lot. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:41.960 Well that's it. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.040 It wasn't just the school musical, like, it wasn't like, oh, 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.440 it's all surrounding like some drama and we get it 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.280 done in time and something goes wrong, Like there were 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:56.280 like fifteen other important storylines happening alongside the musical, which 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:57.920 is why I think they wrote it that way. But 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.200 I was like, wow, are really stuffing it in. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:03.800 It was serious stuff too. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.679 And we don't usually see this right like a school 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.440 musical performance anyway, So for it to be weaved in 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:17.800 throughout these storylines without music that was quite applicable to 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.800 those storylines, like it felt a little like, Okay, so 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:23.880 we're gonna make this musical work, and we're gonna make 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.079 all these storylines the can we're try and intertwine them, 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.600 and it just felt like a lot of my brain 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:29.920 felt like a little stuffed. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.040 I sort of I feel like that must be like 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.679 a maybe like a Beaker Brad Beaker idea m to 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.439 make all of it work so it's not just musical 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:43.320 number seeing musical number scene, because it did feel like 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.520 a real like musical movie to me in that way, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.480 or especially the first time they start doing it where 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.599 they're talking about who's had sex and who hasn't, and 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.400 they're weaving it in with the actual number, it felt 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.120 I liked that a lot, but I wasn't really aware 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.840 of what was happening, Okay, like, oh, is this a rehearsal? 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:11.680 Is this right the actual show right? I don't know. 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.360 And then I think because there was so much to 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:18.520 cover than some storylines got lost and like Mike Chang 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.400 storyline had just like a couple of shots and a 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.640 scene that will. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.080 Live on, that will live on. But yeah, agreed, agreed, 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.640 This is when I feel like they'll there's a lot 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.240 to cover because there's so many characters and so much 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.600 to write for that we'll see this trend throughout the 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.600 rest of the series because there's just so many people 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.160 and people that like fans care about, so they want 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.800 to write about everybody. That's true, and sometimes you get 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.560 lost in the abyss aka Teina Khan Cheg. But like 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.840 you know, it's just like there's just a lot of 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.680 characters to give time to. 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:01.120 I would like to start this off by saying, what 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.880 is Artie's problem? What do you mean when it comes 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:12.440 to relationship stuff women? Especially, He's so bad and like 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:13.920 weird because. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.280 I think in real life a lot of guys are 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.120 bad at this. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:19.640 It's hard to watch. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.199 I'm sorry. I don't mean to generalize, not everybody. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.199 I was shocked several times by his behavior in this episode, 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:32.920 where like making the students have. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.160 Sex right like that I thought was interesting. 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.440 They don't have passion because they had never done it, 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.400 and like, as a friend, he respects their aversion to fun, 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.120 and then he meddles and coach beasts love life, which 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.040 was weird. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.480 Interesting, why are you the one? 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.680 This is a grown ass person. Why are you coming 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.760 up on her and meddling asking why she walked out 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.760 when it's not your business, not your business. I don't know, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.480 like sure, ultimately maybe it leads to a really nice 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.120 moment later on in the episode. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.200 It was just interesting. It was you right, like you 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.240 didn't have to be me. I will say, though, you 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.560 have had a relationship with coach Beast amongst all of 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.920 all the characters, like your experience with like wanting to 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.040 be on the football team, and that whole storyline, like 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.960 it is the closest that's not Finn or Puck. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:34.840 Was shooting this episode. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.520 No, what. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.479 Was he? 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.040 He was in the audience, Kevin, he was watching the show, 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.160 was in the audience, But that's it. He had a 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.440 nice he was busy. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:50.960 He must have been doing something else. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.640 And no su oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.360 So that's why there was so much of using the 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:56.960 other people. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.480 Yeah and everybody else. Okay, okay, okay. Already though, I 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.600 will say, has a really nice storyline with the whole 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.600 director his directorial debut and how he gets a panic 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.559 attack and everybody is actually just thinking him and how 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.800 you really helped us to open up. It was very sweet. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:17.840 Do you remember filming that little scene? No, so this 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.960 was the first time for me. I'm sure they had 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:24.760 done it to other people, but I found out right 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.440 we were filming a scene earlier in the day and 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.360 right after that they said they are changing. So originally 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.319 I had like a two page like monologue. 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:38.000 Yes, Kevin, I remember this. I was quizzing you on it. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.839 Yes, you were helping me work on it because it 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.240 was really long, and I wasn't someone like Sue or 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.680 Shoe or Santana who normally had a bunch of lines 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.920 like that, Oh my god. And so you were helping me. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.880 And then they came up and like, oh, we're going 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.600 to get some edits, they're going to rewrite it, and 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.480 I started to panic, and then they gave me. You know, 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.760 normally the script you have set called sides. They're like 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.480 little versions of the script. They're like shrunken down and 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.880 they're just the pages you're shooting that day, and they're 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.840 white like a script. And then any change is a 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.720 different color paper, so you have a yellow, green, blue, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.480 depending on what edit it is. And so they gave 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:23.840 me like these new green pages and it was longer 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.040 than I think that's than what was in the episode. 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.200 I think they chopped it down a bit, but I 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:34.120 was so panicked, and Brad Beeker is just the most 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.120 gentle soul and he would never let you freak out. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.000 He's like, don't worry, it's gonna be fine. Because I 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.440 had everybody in the cast looking. 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.480 At me, staring at you, and you. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.160 Don't want to like make the day longer for everybody. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.120 And I believe it was the last scene of the day. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.040 And so there we are and I'm looking at you. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.240 I'm just like, stay in it, just get it together, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.200 like we got it. And everyone was very supportive because 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.040 everybody knew, which was nice. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.240 Yeah, okay, okay, thanks for the memory job, Kevin. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.640 I forgot about it. I remember that happening, I just 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:10.800 didn't know when it happened. 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.760 And then when you saw the episode. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.040 When I see myself wheeling up on the stage having 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:21.680 that panic attack, I'm like, this is it. And so 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.000 during all of that, like when we were shooting those 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.440 little things, that's when I was getting given the new pages. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.280 Oh fun, Like while we're still like shooting something, right, 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:35.320 I'm like, cool, this is fun for me. It might 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.640 have been the day we did America, to be honest, 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.480 maybe maybe it was that, And it was at the 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:41.040 end of the day. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.480 I think it was because I think you were sitting 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.920 in the back. We were doing America and you were 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.640 working on it, and then they gave you the new ones. 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.200 Because that's all day. Because I'm not yes, yes, So 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:52.600 I spent all day working on the wrong thing. 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.560 We've all been there. Don't worry, they'll be wanting me 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:59.000 like that. But I loved I liked your little storyline, 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.160 and I also liked your line about finding your new 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:02.600 purpose to boss people around. 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:09.720 Honestly, Artie storyline was very relatable for me in twenty 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.440 twenty three, mm hmm. It's still up performing, but I 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.800 have realized I like doing these other things too, behind 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.280 the scenes and bossing people around and making decisions about taste. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.280 Yes, that's all it's about. 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.480 It was very fun, like when Leah was trying on 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.840 the stresses and things. Doing that whole stuff was very fun. 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.560 Oh that was really funny. Do you remember shooting that? Yeah, 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:31.880 really funny. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.440 Because you know, it was like stuff we didn't normally 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.120 get to do. Right, we're usually doing our routine was 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.480 usually the same every day, like reading the Quire room. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.200 We're doing a number, right, But when we each had 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.520 like a different storyline it was like, oh, memorable, Yeah, exactly, 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:47.400 We're very funny though. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:01.440 So what happens during the top of Artie's storyline and 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.960 the west side storyline West side story storyline when Artie 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:11.800 talks about Blaine and Rachel not having passion because it 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:16.000 looks like they probably haven't had sex before, Coach Beast 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:22.600 and Emma Pillsbury get up and leave immediately, but Artie 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.720 doesn't let that go for some reason. So it's revealed 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.000 that Coach Beasts has also never been intimate with anyone. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.000 Well yeh, she just had her first kiss. Everyone down. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.800 But she does have a crush on Cooder Mankins, who's 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:39.480 the football recruiter from Ohio State, and so Artie sort 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:45.000 of finesses this date happening. He finds out from Beast. 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.720 Then he meets Cooter and is like, you need to 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.240 be straight up with her and ask her again, like 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:55.480 very clear yes, And then Beast opens up to him 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:01.360 and they have some great chemistry together. They together very. 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.080 Cute, and she's just cute. I mean, she's just the 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.520 sweetest little muffin. And so when you and when you 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.800 get vulnerable Beast versus like football coach funny chicken eating beast. 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.160 It's like, I just my heart breaks for her all 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.760 the time, and how honest she is and how vulnerable 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.040 she has to be about not wanting, you know, not 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.679 feeling like you know, she she deserves love. And so 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:28.480 I'm anytime you get Dot Dot Marie Jones getting some 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.080 you know, tears out, it's it's always a win for me. 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.560 It also makes you wonder if they just started, you know, 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.760 once you get to know Dot and they did know 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.040 Dot like Brad Ryan and Ian, if you know you 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.720 start writing to that because Dot is. 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.199 Just like that in life. Yes, yes, totally, they know 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.000 she can do it. 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:47.000 Yeah, exactly. 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:52.080 Okay, So Mike Chang, his dad is going to confront 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.800 him in this episode and this will continue on. But 0:18:54.840 --> 0:19:00.119 obviously this this is continuing from Asian f where his 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.880 dad wants him to be have a real job, go 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.440 to school, go to an ivy league, and Mike Chang 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.760 has decided that he's going to audition and book the 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.120 part of ref and be in the school musical and 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.280 uh just kind of go against his father's wishes. But 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.359 this is the intense one where his dad confronts him 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:18.960 in the hallway when he finds out he's going to 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.000 be in a west Side story and says that he's 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.840 going to disown him as a son if he does this. 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:29.000 This is very dark, it's. 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.240 Very very intense, and nothing else in the episode is 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:35.920 happening like that, right, and all of a sudden, First 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.560 of all, why is he coming to school to do this? 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:38.040 Do you guys? 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:39.640 Not bad place, bad time? 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.840 Live in the same place, like not tech, what's at home? 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:44.119 Right? Right? 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:50.119 But so intense and like to disown him, to threaten him, 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.360 to disown him if he pursues his dancing professionally. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.679 Is and he has the sport of his mother now, 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.320 which is good. But obviously he looks out to the 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:06.879 audience and he's not there, and it's not very heavy 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.560 to be doing in the school hallways and for them 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:14.119 to make those rash decisions very quickly. But I will say, 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.119 like a lot of kids deal with their parents not 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.840 wanting them to pursue the arts. So I'm glad this 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.920 was this. This topic is you. 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:25.040 Know, being addressed. 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.320 Yeah, being addressed. And obviously the stakes are a little 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.200 bit higher for this one. It's not like, oh, we're 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.240 not paying for your college. It's like, oh, you won't 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:33.680 have a dad. 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.760 But yeah, and I mean I think all of us 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:41.840 who have pursued the arts professionally luckily like you and I, 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:47.520 have very supportive parents. But I mean, how many people 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.160 every meetings that do not have that. I think it's 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.560 more common that parents are not so into the idea 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:57.480 because it's super unstable and always nobody wants. 0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.760 To say their kids suffer. Look now, having a kid, 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:01.680 I'm like, I don't want I'm going to do this. Yeah, 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:03.600 but like, you know, what are you going to do 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:05.280 if she says she loves it? When am I say? No, 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.560 you can't live your life like it's not my job. 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:13.199 I'm looking forward to seeing how this all unfolds. I mean, 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:15.680 I can't remember, but it's also. 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.480 Just nice to see like Mike Chang, Yeah, step up 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.760 and just be like I'm doing this. I'm not going 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:24.720 to be a doctor, right, empowering. Yeah. 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:28.159 Should we talk about Blaine and Kurt or should we 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:29.160 talk about Rachel and Finn. 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:31.880 Let's talk about Rachel. 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.440 There's a couple of things happening here, So Rachel and Finn. 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:40.560 Rachel is encouraged by Artie to have sex to become 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:46.840 more passionate and understand, you know, intimate for their opening night, 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.640 so that they could take on the roles of Maria 0:21:50.680 --> 0:22:00.400 and Tony having lived experience, and she basically, I don't 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.520 know tricks Finn, And I don't know if you would 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.800 say tricks, but I maybe kind of say tricks. Fin 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:08.320 into going to have sexual for the first time before 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.560 opening night, and she blorts out, I have to do 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.960 this before the show opens, and he's like, wait, hold 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.480 on a second, and so they have like this conflict 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:21.560 going on of he thought she wanted to wait. She 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:25.720 has ulterior motives obviously for her career, because that's Rachel Barry. 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.960 And then Finn is also dealing with Cooter being in town. 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.200 Who is the football. 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.680 Recruiter, Cooter the recruiter. 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.520 I had to say it, So they each have. 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:45.520 Their own emotional shit going on, right, It's very heavy, 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:49.120 and I also like going into this, Rachel is sort 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:52.159 of like Cheers into four months with no drama, and 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:56.000
