Glee on the Rocks: 5x11 - Glee of Angels

1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,800
You wanted.
You wanted to be the new Rachel.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,040
You wanted to be the new Rachel.
Fine, fuck that guy.

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,400
This is how it works.
This is what you have to fuck

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:23,840
the competition.
You're listening to Glee on the

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,160
Rocks.
I was going to have a pithy

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,560
tagline to start with, and then
it's gone.

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,680
Hello, welcome to Glee on the
Rocks, a Phantom on the Rocks

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,920
podcast.
I'm Emily.

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,440
And I'm Allison.
And we're here today because we

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,240
have lived in Los Angeles, and
this is the Los Angeles episode

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,760
of Glee.
Let me tell you how I I was

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,360
watching this episode and going
like, oh, yeah, they're in LA

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,040
because of course they're in LA
because they shoot in LA.

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,560
Of course they do.
But it took me about 20 minutes

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,440
into the episode before I
realized like, oh, no, it's set

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,000
in Ohio.
They're actually in Los Angeles

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,080
now.
My my first thought when they

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,080
like appeared in Los Angeles was
like, I bet they were so happy

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560
to not have to pretend to be in
Ohio.

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,080
My first thought was, oh, hey,
these are all by our old neck of

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,080
the woods.
Oh yeah, that's by the Paramount

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,240
lot.
Oh yeah, they're just in their

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,280
neighborhood.
It's fine.

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,760
They're just outside the front
door.

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,920
They're just outside the front
door, but it was nice because it

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,280
was also outside our front door.
It was outside our front door.

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,760
Yeah, I was like, oh, there goes
the bus.

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,320
Yeah, it's like, Oh yeah, I
know, I know where you are.

29
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,280
Like this is fine, this is fine.
What I'm like, why did they pick

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,920
this section of LA?
It's like because it's by the

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Paramount lot.
Yeah, totally.

32
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,160
Like, because it's by the pages.
You know what they didn't drive

33
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,080
by though.
And I bet I know why they didn't

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,280
drive by the Scientology place.
I also am a little bad that they

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,520
didn't drive by Paramount
Studios, probably because there

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,560
was a Glee poster on the side of
the book.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,200
Really funny, Like hey wait,
those guys look familiar.

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Wait a second.
This is Season 5 episode 11.

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,800
City of Angels.
The members of New Directions

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,960
travel to LA to compete in
Nationals.

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,120
It's finally fucking nationals.
From Season 4.

42
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,400
Yep.
OK, OK, OK, OK.

43
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:21,200
This episode aired March 11th,
2014 and it is the 99th episode.

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,320
Of this, yes it is.
Which, you know, means the next

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,720
episode is the 100th episode and
they don't let you forget it

46
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,680
because it's called 100 anyway.
The Glee Club.

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaking of people who deserve
all their union bonuses, OK, so.

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaking of labor.
Generally speaking, Emily does

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,320
the like the the play.
Emily is the play by play guy.

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,400
And I'm here for color for color
commentary.

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,280
But I swear to God, in the recap
of here's what you missed on

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,560
Glee, the recap guy deserves a
bonus and a smooch on the

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,160
forehead.
Or Rory the Irish kid.

54
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,000
Where did he go?
Where did he go?

55
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,560
The way I screamed.
That actually this recap was

56
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,680
pretty good.
It was like, you're right, what

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,600
is going on in the show?
Who knows?

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:16,320
Who knows, Who cares who?
Knows I I kind of loved this

59
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,640
episode because it was so
contained.

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,520
It gave me so many old Glee
feelings.

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Yeah.
This was such season one, season

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,480
2 Glee.
I could feel it.

63
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,800
I felt it in my tummy.
I felt it in my toes.

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,360
Yeah, there was like one thing
happening.

65
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,640
Win nationals.
Yeah, none of this.

66
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,080
E plot, E plot, C plot.
Like there's a little bit little

67
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,240
sprinklings, but I didn't spare.
Yeah.

68
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,840
But like, yeah, this.
Was one thing today.

69
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,040
This was this was old Glee, and
I'm old Glee.

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360
I really liked it.
I really liked and they get me.

71
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,040
They got me.
They got me a little bit during

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,080
one of the songs.
This episode got me.

73
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,480
We'll, we'll get to it.
Yeah, so you know, it's time to

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,640
to go to nationals.
They have to win or a reminder

75
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,840
that the Glee club is finished.
That is the driving force here

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,560
is Sue Sylvester, current
principal has said that either

77
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,800
you win or you're cut.
Do we really know why?

78
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,079
Budgets, Who cares?
Doesn't matter, you win or

79
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,880
you're gone.
And Sam comes to see Mr. Shue

80
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,440
and he's like, reminder, I'm not
going to college, but I am all

81
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,640
in on nationals.
Why he needs to say this, I

82
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,280
don't know.
But it is the setup to be like,

83
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,360
you're the leader now.
Finn was our secret weapon.

84
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,680
And this show, this episode is
like half Nationals, half Finn.

85
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,360
Oh yeah.
Which already just.

86
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,840
Yeah, yeah.
Like the quarterback was the the

87
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,560
eulogy, but like this is the
better remembrance of Finn.

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,960
This was the celebration of
life.

89
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,680
Yeah, like the.
Quarterback.

90
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,480
The quarterback was the eulogy.
It was the wake.

91
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,040
This is the reception that
everyone throws.

92
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,360
Yeah.
Afterward, where they're all

93
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,480
drinking and eating cake and.
Exactly, and just like talking.

94
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,920
And playing his favorite songs
on the radio and.

95
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,080
Literally, and I liked it
better.

96
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Honestly.
Oh yeah, me too.

97
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,640
Like you can't really criticize
the quarterback and that's fine.

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,760
And we didn't.
That's fine.

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,360
I like this better.
This, yeah, this, this got me.

100
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,960
And like, when we really start
talking about Finn, like, we'll,

101
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,720
we'll talk about it.
Yeah.

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Because you and I were there.
So she was like, it's you're

103
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,560
going to be our leader in Lai.
Guess for plot reasons honestly,

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,560
because to be fair, Sam has been
there a very long time.

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,720
It's true, he's been there
pretty much longer than

106
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080
everybody but Tina and Artie at
this point.

107
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,120
Now, should Artie be the leader
as one of the longest serving

108
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,520
Glee club members?
Maybe, but he's not really

109
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,600
leader material.
Not anymore.

110
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,240
He just has never decided to be
that guy.

111
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,440
He's not.
But no, in the in the horrible,

112
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,600
horrible legacy of William
Michael Shuster.

113
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,600
Is that what Sue calls him?
Sure.

114
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,440
William Michael Shuster bringing
like traditionally masculine

115
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,040
high school students into his
office and politely emotionally

116
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,400
blackmailing them.
Yep.

117
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:22,800
Sam is the most fin esque
football guy.

118
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,360
Yes, to take over.
He is, Yeah.

119
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,120
You know, you break them down,
you build them back up and you

120
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,200
make them cry.
Yeah, us too.

121
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:37,160
Making Us Cry are the return of
the best parents on TV, Burton

122
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,520
Carroll.
Burton Carroll and.

123
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,200
And already I'm crying.
Yeah, my notes say.

124
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,560
And now we're crying about the
humble Hudson Anderson clan.

125
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,840
And so am I.
Goddamn.

126
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,880
Carol gets a big old hug from
Blaine first, because of course

127
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,040
she does.
That's her son-in-law.

128
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,520
That's her son.
That's her son.

129
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Yeah, that's.
Her baby that that's you know.

130
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,960
And then don't even be started
about friggin Blaine and Bert.

131
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,080
Don't get me started.
Get a little handshake, son.

132
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,520
Son.
Getting so we get one of our our

133
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,720
first of many speeches about how
Finn cared so much about them

134
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,760
and the Glee club and what they
are there as the proxies for

135
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,440
Finn.
Yeah, and what Finn would have

136
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,720
said to them as the pump up
speech on their way to Nationals

137
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,080
of.
This is the time of your lives

138
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,240
right now, and no sad faces, no
regrets.

139
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,040
And that Burt and Carol are
going to be their chaperones to

140
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,520
LA.
Which makes sense.

141
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,920
There are like 12 of them.
Yeah, because eagerly they had

142
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,240
what, 9?
And then Sam recruited 3 hot

143
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,120
Cheerios.
I OK, to be perfectly honest, I

144
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,760
forgot about the Cheerios until
one of the performances and I

145
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,000
was like, who are these people?
Oh, right, the Cheerios.

146
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,480
The Cheerios because Sam
recruited 3 hot Cheerios because

147
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,560
Sam knew that she was going to
get that on a tacticality. 3 Hot

148
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Cheerios.
Three hot Cheerios.

149
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,720
God bless you 3 hot Cheerios.
Which honestly would make a

150
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:07,840
really good Tumblr URL. 3 hot
Cheerios so so they are there.

151
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,400
It is time to go off to LA,
which requires mood music of Mr.

152
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,120
Shu singing I Love LA.
No, stop it.

153
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,640
No, thank you.
Well, Blaine does get up to join

154
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,960
him.
Because, you know, it's Blaine.

155
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:33,200
OK, OK, OK, so I'm not, I'm not
upset that they put Darren in

156
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:39,640
yellow sunnies, but I weren't,
you know, I'm not OK about it

157
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:43,840
because they were wrong.
I was like, look at those stupid

158
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,360
yellow.
Sunnies, Look at those stupid

159
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,560
yellow sunglasses.
They're the wrong color because

160
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:53,840
we are long-suffering Glee
people and we're long-suffering

161
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,120
other people.
Those sunglasses should have

162
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,800
been pink and you can fight me
on that.

163
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,800
He already wore pinks on his
like we know.

164
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,080
Blaine owns Blaine owns Pink
Plastic Wayfarers.

165
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,280
He does.
We know this.

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,960
To be fair, he stole them from
the store.

167
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,480
He did.
So I don't know if he put them

168
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,400
back or not.
But like, I yes, the yellow went

169
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,560
better with his outfit.
And yeah, Darren Polly didn't

170
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:20,840
want to bring the part the pink
sunnies into like, but it's been

171
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440
like 10 years.
I wanted to see the pink

172
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,320
Sunnies.
I did.

173
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,400
I'm yeah, I wanted to see them
and they were not there and I

174
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,040
was upset.
Yeah, me too.

175
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,240
I was like, oh, look at those.
And then the sun off.

176
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,680
The shellac hair was a lot too.
It was a lot, yeah.

177
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,760
And their entire tray of pinks,
hot dogs and.

178
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,560
They really hit the highlights.
It was like, oh, it's the

179
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:46,880
Capitol Records building and the
Pantages and.

180
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,000
And pants like.
We're really going for it.

181
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,520
Just driving down, what is that
sunset?

182
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:55,800
It was kind of hard to tell
because they were all over the

183
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,400
place.
Like these landmarks are, not

184
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,240
that they're close, but like
what direction are you?

185
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,000
They were.
They were on one of those like

186
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,160
tour buses.
It was fine.

187
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,560
They were on a tour bus that was
going surprisingly fast.

188
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,960
Yeah, not one red light.
Please don't eat a hot dog like

189
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,160
on the roof in the in the wind
like no no city EO no.

190
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,440
Gross.
But yeah, they looked like they

191
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,800
were having a a grand old time
they did, driving past their own

192
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,360
homes.
Because all their own places,

193
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,040
their own places of work.
Yeah, like, oh, there we go.

194
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,200
Their own cars.
Our places of work.

195
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,560
Yeah, like our places of work,
our cars.

196
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Shit, stuck in the shot.
So then they arrive at an

197
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:50,560
unknown hotel location and we
are reintroduced to 1 Mercedes

198
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,560
Jones.
Hello, Miss Mercedes.

199
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Looking very glamorous indeed.
And she's gotten a record

200
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,760
contract, which Unique
apparently knows all about.

201
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,240
I love that for for them.
Let me tell you how the entire

202
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,520
time I was so worried, it was
just like a hallucination.

203
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,640
I'm just like waiting for it to
just crash down.

204
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,640
Because Glee has never before
been this nice to Mercedes

205
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,200
Jones.
No, no.

206
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Well, yeah, no, they they have
not been.

207
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:26,200
We find out that she got her
break by selling ACD of hell to

208
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,640
the No I.
An iconic song.

209
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,640
Iconic.
In a parking lot.

210
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,640
And then Kanye West's
housekeeper, Yeah, bought her

211
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,440
album and passed it up the
chain.

212
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,720
Rough.
In Hollywood, that is absolutely

213
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,760
how it.
Happens by the way.

214
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,680
Yes, 100%.
You stumble upon somebody and

215
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,840
then that somebody knows
somebody who knows somebody who

216
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,440
knows somebody else, and then
all of a sudden it's the entire

217
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,240
town is one big spider web.
It's outstanding.

218
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,600
I'm just surprised it wasn't
like she was releasing music on

219
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,720
SoundCloud.
Or something.

220
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,040
Yeah, for real.
Girl was go ahead, burn CDs in a

221
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:04,960
parking lot.
I love this.

222
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,640
Yeah, old school, Old school.
That was like, oh, Ryan Murphy

223
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,520
is old.
Yeah.

224
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,280
Yeah, we're not OK, bud.
She.

225
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,200
Didn't have a band camp.
What's what's happening?

226
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Oh, right, band.
Camp on Myspace page.

227
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,000
Oh boy, that would have made a
little more sense than burning

228
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
CDs in the parking lot.
Hey, at least it wasn't tapes.

229
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,200
At least it wasn't tapes.
You know what though?

230
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,640
Tapes might have like gotten
somebody's attention to be like

231
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,000
tapes.
Tapes.

232
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,640
I think would get someone's
attention now.

233
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Oh, you're right, you're right.
That's that's more of a now

234
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,960
thing.
That's more of a now thing.

235
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,800
We also have to give a shout out
to her, to her FAWA.

236
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,840
Fawa A.
Little fake dog I love.

237
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,880
That fake Chihuahua or a.
Little fake dog.

238
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,720
Oh my God, I don't understand.
I didn't I I like, I wanted to

239
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,000
know who that joke was for.
Like someone in the writing room

240
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,520
thought that was hilarious and
it made it all the way through.

241
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,160
Yeah, somebody found that on on
Vine and put it all through.

242
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,720
Yeah, someone that was.
It had to have been such a time

243
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,960
specific joke that we've
completely forgotten about it.

244
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,680
I lost it entirely, but it still
hit so.

245
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:17,240
It's still funny, fawa.
So you know, fawa out new blame,

246
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,080
new blame mid game in hold on.
Wait, a quick rewind.

247
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,120
I did love her call out for not
doing lame Christmas albums.

248
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,640
Oh my God, a number of people on
the cast.

249
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,720
Had to do.
Have put out Christmas albums.

250
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,600
Yes, they have.
I was, I was like, oh.

251
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,240
It's too close.
Ouch.

252
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Because like I feel like now I
having not actually read what's

253
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,600
in any of their contracts.
I don't forget now, but for a

254
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,400
while they were all dropping
albums for a for a hot 2nd.

255
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:50,320
For a hot minute, there it.
Was it was startling in fact,

256
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,680
how many of them in a row there
were?

257
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,680
Yes, and how many didn't do very
well, Correct.

258
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,960
Oh well, Oh well.
But yes, so Blaine Blaine's new

259
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,760
fuck buddy.
Oh my God.

260
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:04,120
I didn't hate it.
Not a full mid game but

261
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,840
definitely like an episode
fling.

262
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,360
Hello, Jean Baptiste.
Jean Batiste, played by Skylar

263
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,040
Aston.
This is the lead singer of

264
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,680
Throat Explosion.
Throat Explosion Expect us.

265
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,320
I love the Expect us.
I love them so freaking much and

266
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,080
like blame the entire time is
like starstruck, right?

267
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,800
And he's really is.
He's so starstruck and he's like

268
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,080
reading the show choir blogs and
he's like trying to explain it

269
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,840
to Sam and he's like shaking
like a little fawa Wawa just.

270
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,320
A.
Little Fawa he knows.

271
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,640
Everything about them.
He does, but the part that the

272
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,840
hook here is that Jean Baptiste
also knows Blaine.

273
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,560
He does choir blogs.
He's all fluster.

274
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,120
He's like, you know my name?
Like like a baby knows your

275
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,360
name.
This is meeting your Tumblr

276
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,800
crush, OK?
It really is.

277
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,080
What this was?
Oh.

278
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,760
My God, they left a comment on
my fig.

279
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,880
Excuse me, I feel like once
again we need to just remember

280
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,720
for a minute how you and I met
and did it.

281
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Look.
Like this?

282
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,440
And now we're banned.
Do you not remember my face?

283
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,160
Do you not remember?
Because I remember being very

284
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,680
cold.
Let's just say I was flustered.

285
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,440
OK, let's just say I was
flustered.

286
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,000
I wasn't dressed all in black,
though that probably was.

287
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,080
You probably were.
It was, it was winter time in

288
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,320
Chicago.
But in any case, yeah, Jean

289
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Baptiste and Blaine are like
dancing around each other a

290
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,880
little bit on purpose.
It's it's outstanding.

291
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,840
Not to not to shirk my clean
duties.

292
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,240
But.
Just that they've been apart for

293
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,840
so long and Blaine hasn't gotten
a Dick for so long.

294
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,760
Poor guy.
That that the, the touch of

295
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,040
this.
I was like, you know what?

296
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,480
Let him have it.
You know what?

297
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,680
I OK.
I don't you know me, I don't

298
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,200
multi ship.
I really don't it's.

299
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,360
Not for me, no.
You don't like multi shipping?

300
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,400
But.
Let me tell you, it's.

301
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,520
Been gone so long that I almost
forgot.

302
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,400
Yeah.
It's not bad that's so bad when

303
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,400
I was.
Together and engaged.

304
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,560
I haven't seen.
I haven't I I can't even tell

305
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,800
you.
He, he doesn't say Kurt's name

306
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,600
the entire time.
He doesn't say Kurt's name and

307
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,080
like, and, and I just, I was
like, let him have it.

308
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,600
Let him have something like this
man.

309
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,280
Let me tell.
You if if Jean Baptiste is as

310
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,280
Internet famous as as he
purports to be, do you think you

311
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,360
don't think he's on planes list?
Oh, he's on planes list.

312
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,880
You don't think planes list
fashion?

313
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,080
Number one.
Fashion even Jean Baptiste

314
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,520
Lighthouse.
No lighthouse is off 'cause that

315
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,520
man does not have a no.
But Sebastian and Jean Baptiste,

316
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,400
if you don't think he calls
Kurt, it's like, Kurt, I'm in a

317
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,360
hotel room with Jean Baptiste.
Can I please?

318
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Can I please?
And Kurt's like Jean Baptiste.

319
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,200
We record that entire thing.
You send it to me right now.

320
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,360
Yeah.
It goes on call.

321
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,640
Me in.
Tap me in.

322
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,160
Tap me in, Coach.
Tap me in.

323
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:56,960
My God.
Yeah.

324
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,800
The the chemistry was chemistry
ING.

325
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,480
Yeah, chemistry was chemistry
ING.

326
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,760
And probably because Blaine and
Skylar Aston or Blaine Darren

327
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,200
and Skylar Aston, like, know
each other.

328
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,200
So yeah, I was like, come on,
just let it happen.

329
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,920
Just let it happen.
Because it was like, he smells

330
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,520
like a winner.
Like, come on.

331
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,839
Yeah, sure.
He tastes like one too.

332
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:17,599
It's fine.
We're fine.

333
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:18,440
Yeah.
I know.

334
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,480
And then the whole mood gets
brought down by Ryder and

335
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,599
Marley.
Yeah, because Marley opens the

336
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,880
door to a monster.
And my whole and my whole time,

337
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,000
I'm like, don't do it, don't do
it, don't do it, don't do it.

338
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,160
I really hate that this whole
storyline is tainted.

339
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,000
Yeah, it wasn't a good storyline
to start with, and now it's

340
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,520
worse.
And now it's worse.

341
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,240
Yeah.
I really hate that for all of

342
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:40,960
us.
Yes.

343
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:43,680
Oh yeah.
Writer comes to Marley's room

344
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,440
because she's sad like she
always is.

345
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,480
Which is a bummer because I love
her and she's so much more fun

346
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,720
when she's not sad.
And all of a sudden now she's

347
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,960
like, she's sad.
And he, like Spidey, senses it I

348
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,480
guess.
I guess.

349
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,040
Like, I don't fucking.
I don't, I don't understand.

350
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,440
Whatever.
Stupid.

351
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,520
It's just stupid.
But yeah.

352
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,120
So he shows up and apparently
stalks her Facebook page and

353
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,120
right.
Like she and she tells him, it's

354
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:14,920
like, I don't want to be a
singer-songwriter anymore

355
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,200
because I keep applying to
contests and they don't even

356
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,880
write me back.
And it's like, babe, welcome to

357
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,840
LA.
Also, those probably aren't even

358
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,840
real contests.
They're not even fucking real.

359
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,320
They're not even real.
Like.

360
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,200
Which could also have been a
cool storyline if they had

361
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,440
extended it to be like, oh those
are all fake.

362
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,040
You're not even like nothing's
really happened for you.

363
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,680
Yet we we could have done
something really, you know,

364
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,440
weird and interesting with
catfishing and catfishing and,

365
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,720
you know, I got, I feel tricked
and let down and not that I want

366
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,040
to give rider any credit, but
you know, it's like, so did I me

367
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,840
too.
And I've been there and I know

368
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,520
what you're feeling and I know
how your emotions are tricking

369
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,040
you.
When I I get it, I know.

370
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,960
But no, it's Glee.
Can't have that.

371
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,280
My big thing here is what are
you telling me that these

372
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,320
children all get their own hotel
rooms in New York City or in Los

373
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,440
Angeles?
So it looks like they're

374
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,360
doubled.
I just don't know who Marley is

375
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,400
doubled with because it looks
like Jake and Ryder are

376
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,400
together.
Yeah, and it would make sense

377
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,840
that Marley and Unique are
together.

378
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,560
Yeah, we just don't see them in
the same room.

379
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,000
But then who is Tina?
But I feel like Tina's.

380
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,440
I feel like Tina's pair with
unique.

381
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,720
Oh yeah, OK, so then Sam and
Blaine, probably.

382
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,360
So it would have to be Marley
and Kitty.

383
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,200
I guess, I guess Katie's on her
nice streak.

384
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,880
Yeah.
But then, then who?

385
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,640
Yeah, and then the three hot
Cheerios.

386
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,520
Three hot Well, but what about
Artie?

387
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,400
And then it's just Artie because
he gets the 88 room down the

388
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,800
hall.
All by himself.

389
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,160
I don't know you think they
would have done Like the the

390
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,960
suites where the door swings
between?

391
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,200
Maybe like in a joining room,
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

392
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,160
But there's just like a lot.
There was a lot of like us being

393
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,040
in a hotel room together that I
was like, hold the phone here.

394
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,400
Yeah, the the chaperoning wasn't
really chaperoning anything.

395
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,360
Hold on a minute.
And then and then later, we'll,

396
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:12,520
we'll get there because I was
like Bert and Carol, you can't.

397
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,240
Leave.
Yeah, you guys, you guys can't

398
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,440
leave like I legally can't leave
like you can and I understand,

399
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,760
but like as a school
administrator, I need you to

400
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,400
not.
Yeah, like I I he cannot be

401
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,560
alone with 12 people.
No, I I need you to not.

402
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,440
I need you to not.
So, committing more acts of

403
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,840
petty mischief, the new
directions sneak into the

404
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,920
concert hall where Nationals is
going to take place.

405
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,760
Because I guess they like want
to get to know the stage, which

406
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,640
is like every other stage they
performed on their entire lives.

407
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,280
Forever, Yeah.
And Blaine's like it's a warbler

408
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,520
tradition to do this, which I
would have loved to have seen at

409
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,200
some point.
And then he's like, we've got

410
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,280
other traditions too, but we
can't talk about those, which I

411
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,240
just think are mutual blow jobs.
Correct.

412
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,400
Bless you, Blaine Warbler.
That is your legal name.

413
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040
Plain.
It is plain, Warbler.

414
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,000
Hummel Anderson.
Hummel, Anderson.

415
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,560
Hummel Anderson.
Yeah, it wasn't.

416
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,400
Love the ghost light.
I also love the ghost light.

417
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,680
I was like, thank you, someone
for remembering.

418
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,240
Yeah.
For those of you who don't, who

419
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,800
aren't theatre kids, although if
if you're, if you were never a

420
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,840
theatre kid, I don't know what
brought you to us.

421
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,000
I love you.
Welcome.

422
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,640
But theater tradition basically
asks that you leave a light on

423
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,520
and this light is called the
ghost light.

424
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,560
And it is usually, it usually
hangs out in the middle of the

425
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,840
in the middle of the stage
overnight.

426
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,280
It's just one of those things
you'll see.

427
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,080
It's 1 Protective so that if
anyone enters, they don't trip

428
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,040
off the stage.
Yeah.

429
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,000
And two, it, you know, keeps the
ghost away.

430
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,520
Yeah.
We love that for us.

431
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,040
Because all theaters are
haunted.

432
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,600
All theaters are haunted,
correct?

433
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:59,480
And this one in particular is
politely haunted.

434
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,440
Not a not a scary ghost, but a
loving ghost because it turns

435
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,600
out that Sam brought Finn with
them.

436
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,920
He did.
He brought the big photo of the

437
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,560
frame photo of Finn with them.
Yeah, the big plaque.

438
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:16,080
Yeah.
And they, they have a little

439
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,120
circle up and they, they talk
about Finn's promise that they

440
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,840
were going to return to
Nationals.

441
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,680
And it's very sweet.
It's very.

442
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Sweet.
Until Jean Bepiste shows up.

443
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,320
And his his merry band of, you
know, spies his little merry

444
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,040
band of like little Trixie
spiders, little birds.

445
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,800
They like appear out of the
wings and they're all black.

446
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,000
It's incredible.
Like the stage belongs to us.

447
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,600
And there was kind of an
interesting line where he's

448
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,160
like, everyone knows that you're
that show choir, which is

449
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,680
fascinating lore that no one
ever explores in the show.

450
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,240
Like, yeah, they are that show
choir.

451
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,800
They are.
And you know, we'll get there at

452
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:06,200
the end of the episode, but
they, they are in fact that show

453
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,960
choir, the entire show choir
community knows about them.

454
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,640
They, they've seen them.
They remember Finn and Rachel

455
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,640
kissing on stage.
They remember doing nationals

456
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,000
last year.
They, they remember, they know

457
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,160
they're, they're known.
It's a known quantity and

458
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,200
everybody knows that they've had
a bad year.

459
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,880
Yeah, and also they, the New
Directions, have also apparently

460
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,040
forgotten that they are the
national champions.

461
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,640
They are indeed the national
champions.

462
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,320
Because this show only ever
wants to see them as underdogs.

463
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,000
Yeah, and they're not.
They're the national champions,

464
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:40,240
the.
National fucking champions.

465
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,040
National champions.
We're gonna.

466
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,000
Lose like, well, yeah, cuz you
don't rehearse and you don't

467
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,120
pick your set list until the day
before and you try to write your

468
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:51,520
own fucking songs like you're
you're gonna lose like.

469
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,600
Help them out.
You're the national champions.

470
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,680
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.

471
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,960
But this is of course where we
get we are throat explosion

472
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,120
expect us.
Expect us.

473
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,040
And I just, I love, I love it.
I love it.

474
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,240
It does make me sad that the New
Directions don't have like a

475
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,120
They just have their amazing,
like boring.

476
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,000
Yeah, it's.
Boring.

477
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,840
I do really love the the Jesse
Saint James of it all.

478
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:19,400
Yes, you know, not because
because John Baptiste and Jesse

479
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,840
St. names are two very different
people and they're different

480
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,360
characters and they're different
whatevers, but just the like

481
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:31,440
leading man Rachel Berry vibes
that they both present are just

482
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:32,800
peak.
They're in.

483
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,480
They're perfect.
True, it's perfect and Jesse

484
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,280
never wanted to fuck Blaine, but
this one does.

485
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:40,560
Jesse wanted to fuck Rachel.
Sora, yes.

486
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,480
And John Matthews wants to fuck.
It's the Blaine is the new

487
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,440
Rachel.
We know this.

488
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,280
See exactly.
You wanted.

489
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,560
You wanted to be their new
Rachel.

490
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,840
You wanted to be the new Rachel.
Fine, fuck that guy.

491
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,200
This is how it works.
This is what you have to fuck

492
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,800
the competition.
Those are the rules, Blaine.

493
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,240
That was the rules, Anderson.
And he calls Kurt, he's like, I

494
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,360
don't know what to do.
And Kurt's like with like on

495
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:07,320
speaker with Rachel Titanic
going like, no, no, no.

496
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,560
That was the contract you
signed, Hun.

497
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,560
It's fine.
Don't worry about it.

498
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,640
That's the show choir rule.
If you are the new Rachel, you

499
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,440
fuck the competition.
It's OK, we understood that when

500
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,640
we got together.
It's fine.

501
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,360
It's in the marriage contract.
It's in the contract.

502
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:27,560
Come on dude, this is what
happens when we're left alone.

503
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,680
Oh.
My God, yeah.

504
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,960
So in one of the hotel rooms,
Bert is helping Sam with a bow

505
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,840
tie because they're getting
dressed but also sewing a

506
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,800
costume.
I don't know, They're probably

507
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,120
doing like fit checks and making
sure that it all looks right.

508
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,440
And you know, it's like trying
on a veil with your wedding

509
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,280
dress even though you're just
getting it fitted.

510
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,800
It's about the vibes.
The vibes, it's, it's to set a

511
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,080
scene for dialogue to happen.
Indeed.

512
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,520
And Tina, it's business.
Tina is lamenting the end of her

513
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,440
time with the Glee club yet
again.

514
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,800
And she's like, I'm not ready
for this to end.

515
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,120
And Sam just yells at her, do
not start crying again, which I

516
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:09,480
loved.
Yeah, correct.

517
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,080
Like, absolutely.
Don't do it again.

518
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,520
Stop it.
That's the kind of dialogue call

519
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,040
out that I want from this show.
Yes.

520
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:22,320
But poor Carol has, like, a look
on her face, and we know

521
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,960
something's going on in her
brain.

522
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:28,240
And Tina's like, I can't believe
this is our last competition.

523
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,560
My life is going to be so empty
now.

524
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:40,600
And Carol says at least you get
to have one because, yeah.

525
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,800
Because this is the PTSD of
losing your baby daddy and then

526
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,480
your baby and like she's going
fucking through it.

527
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:57,200
Yeah, because as brave of a face
as she has put on, it is so hard

528
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,400
for her to be around all of
Finn's friends for this extended

529
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,480
time at 1 of Finn's favorite
things to do, and she is just

530
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,240
getting torn apart.
Yeah, and the.

531
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,920
And we love her so.
Much.

532
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,520
And we love her so much.
And we are once again grateful

533
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,960
to both Finn and Kurt, who
figured their shit out because

534
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:30,200
Bert loves Carol so much.
Bert loves Carol so much and has

535
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,160
not lost a son.
But the two of them have already

536
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,720
kind of bonded over the fact
that they've lost spouses.

537
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:41,720
And so Bert knows what she's
going through from the, like,

538
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,080
the sharp pain of grief, like
the first time you have to go to

539
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:48,440
a place that your loved one
loved without them.

540
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,560
And Bert is just immediately on
Carol's side.

541
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,560
It's like, do you guys, you want
to just, like, leave?

542
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,280
We'll go do something else.
We'll go take a trip.

543
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,440
We'll go do this.
We'll go do that.

544
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,960
You want to just not be here?
And she's like, yeah, I want to

545
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,960
just not be here.
And he's like, OK.

546
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,080
I love that reaction of just
being like, you want to go, Not

547
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:13,160
like, let's talk about it, let's
expand on our feelings like you

548
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,480
want to get the fuck out of
here, you.

549
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,360
Want to just leave?
And she's like, yeah.

550
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,200
And like.
OK, let's get the fuck out of

551
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,960
here.
And I missed adult actors.

552
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:21,760
I miss them.
I.

553
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,240
Miss them so?
Much I miss.

554
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,560
Them also I need Mike O'Malley
on 911 because we've already had

555
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,600
Brahmi.
Yes, we've, we've, we have Carol

556
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,360
now we need Bert.
Yeah.

557
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,120
So they're, they're making
plans.

558
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,760
Elsewhere, Ryder and Jake are
sharing a room.

559
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,440
And Jake is still mad at Ryder
for moving in on Marley.

560
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,320
And he's like, I thought we were
friends.

561
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,560
And I mean, like, regardless of
whether or not they're friends,

562
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,440
be mad.
That was gross behavior.

563
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,320
Yeah, be mad like you.
You can be mad.

564
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,160
So they have this like I thought
we were friends.

565
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,360
We were.
We are.

566
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,280
And then it just shifts into
writer telling Jake that Mark's

567
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,440
planning Mark Marley is planning
on quitting Glee club.

568
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,280
He just like, immediately
fucking betrays Marley

569
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,440
immediately, immediately tells
her secret.

570
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,400
Yeah, 'cause it's for her own
good and it's like.

571
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,040
Not even like, so, you know,
there's all this when you're

572
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,080
trying to teach kids about,
like, secrets versus surprises

573
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,160
and like, what's a good secret
and what's a bad secret?

574
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,640
And it's like, this secret would
not physically hurt her.

575
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,080
She's not in any danger.
Her safety is not at risk.

576
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,600
She is not, you know, lying to
people.

577
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,440
She is not causing harm to
people.

578
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,840
This is a secret that she gets
to keep.

579
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,320
And she shared it with you and
you were just pissing all over

580
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,120
it.
Stop it.

581
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,200
This is this is for her.
She can do whatever the fuck she

582
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:47,440
wants and like, she can choose
to retract the secret later.

583
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,720
She can stay with the Glee club
if she wants to.

584
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,240
Yeah, later.
Later.

585
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:58,160
Later, like shut the fuck up.
I hate him.

586
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600
I hate him so much.
And they're like, well, how do

587
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,160
we how do we get her song like
we're in LA?

588
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,480
Like how do we help her get her
music out there?

589
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,280
Like you don't.
You're 17.

590
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,720
You don't.
You do not.

591
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,280
But like we do know someone
almost famous Mercedes, like

592
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:22,520
Mercedes, can't help you.
Not in the I mean, Mercedes can

593
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,080
help, but not in the way that
they think she can help.

594
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:31,040
Right, like, OK, maybe she takes
a demo tape to her producer, but

595
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,760
her producer's going to be like,
OK, now you have you've used up

596
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,080
your your favorite car, your
favor, you've.

597
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,400
Used your card.
And she hasn't even put her

598
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,120
record out yet.
Yeah, no.

599
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,040
So let's not do that.
No.

600
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,760
So the plaque is also missing
because of course it is.

601
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,320
Can't have that Mac Guffin and
not have it go missing.

602
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,240
And Finn or Finn Sam is
rightfully very upset about this

603
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,280
and he immediately goes after
Jean Pep D saying like you took

604
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,920
it.
And it instigates like a show

605
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,280
choir fight where Jean Baptiste
is like everyone knows all of

606
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,440
your decent singers are
graduated, which is a low blow

607
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,200
considering how many of their
decent singers are still on the

608
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,160
choir.
Correct.

609
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,600
So I was like, hold on, they're
all good, mostly.

610
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,400
And that and I was about, I was
about ready to watch Blaine like

611
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,320
baby hold my flower.
It's like you did not just talk

612
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:37,840
about my husband that way.
Exactly, I actually wanted to

613
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,360
see someone throw a punch, but
it's not.

614
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,520
I mean, then they would have
gotten kicked out.

615
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,960
Yeah, it's not that kind of
show.

616
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,640
So I was like, come on, get him.
And then like, Blaine doesn't.

617
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,680
What happened to like Bitch
Blaine?

618
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,120
Season 2?
Bitch Blaine would have had

619
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,080
something to say.
Yeah, he would have.

620
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,000
He, in fact, would have had
something to say.

621
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,480
And I maybe he.
Just saw like new directions,

622
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,480
like he trusted the warblers.
Maybe they just maybe, maybe not

623
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,760
on the same level.
Because I think it was a TikTok

624
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,120
or something of compilation of
season 2 bitch Blaine.

625
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,800
And I was like, God, I missed
that guy.

626
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,840
Missed that guy?
Because he would have had

627
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,800
something to say about it.
Well, because.

628
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,000
It was Bitch Blaine in season 2
and then they gave that.

629
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,760
They gave Bitch Blaine to
Sebastian and then Sebastian

630
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,040
just ran away with it.
I wish he'd run away with him.

631
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,680
Oh, well, you said gave him.
You said gave him to Sebastian.

632
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,360
And I was like, I wish, I wish
he had.

633
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,600
It says it says the the of the
two of us says the non multi

634
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,080
shipper says like the viciously
anti multi shipper over here.

635
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,480
It's all about what's the better
story.

636
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,600
I'm just thinking about what's
the better story.

637
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,560
And the better sexual attention.
We all know this.

638
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,480
It's yes.
But he never should have left

639
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,600
Dalton.
Never.

640
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,640
He never should have left
Dalton.

641
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,240
I would have loved it.
But Sam, you know, puts his show

642
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,320
choir beef aside because they
have to leave and gives the new

643
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,400
directions in the bus the fin
like pump up speech.

644
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,560
Yes, the show must go on all
over the place.

645
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,560
And my note reads, the show must
go all over the place.

646
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,600
God damn, I miss you, Finney.
Yeah, it.

647
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,440
Is a bummer.
Yeah.

648
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,320
So now it is in fact time for
Nationals and The Voice.

649
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,760
I'm actually so glad you're
doing this because the the Voice

650
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,240
over, you know, as everyone's
getting their seats settled and

651
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:41,520
we're getting ready for the
show, the voice over says some

652
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,920
notes about what's going on.
The Four O 5 Freeway is closed

653
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,600
for repairs this month.
Also the subway isn't working

654
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,080
and bus service has been
cancelled due to snipers.

655
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Yeah, that tracks.
I.

656
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,360
Was like, yeah, OK.
Yeah, OK.

657
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,320
That sounds right.
I was like 1 lol 911 cuz the

658
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,600
snipers.
Snipers.

659
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,360
And then also like, no that at
all tracks.

660
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,000
Yeah, it's like, oh, OK, well,
so you know, only one of your 10

661
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,639
major freeways is shut down.
Fine.

662
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,840
I'm not taking the four O 5
anyway if I can help it so.

663
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,320
Subway doesn't go anywhere you
need it to, and you know the bus

664
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,920
only runs once every, what, 90
minutes?

665
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,320
Sure, I'm not taking that thing.
Speaking of Glee.

666
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,920
Oh, the other line was the the
voice over saying.

667
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,920
Also, if you try to walk people
will look at you weird.

668
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:34,320
And that is completely true A.
100% true.

669
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,440
Walking to breakfast some days.
Like what are you doing?

670
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,880
Like I'm walking.
I'm walking to breakfast and

671
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,000
like OK.
To be fair, walking in LA is not

672
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,239
inherently pleasant unless
unless you live in like a

673
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,080
specifically walkable
neighborhood.

674
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,120
Which don't exist.
It like, it's really not that

675
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,080
pleasant.
There's not a lot of like in our

676
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,639
neck of the woods.
We would walk sometimes to

677
00:34:55,639 --> 00:35:00,720
places and it was completely
exposed and hot concrete asphalt

678
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,640
in the sun dust it.
It's not a pleasant.

679
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:05,960
Walk.
I mean, it's like walking next

680
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,760
to the freeway.
Yeah, it's like walking next to

681
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,840
the freeway all the time.
It's it's doable.

682
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,000
It's I'm not going to call it
safe, but I'm not going to call

683
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:20,120
it There's a sidewalk, for what
it's worth, Like it's definitely

684
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,160
not built for pedestrians.
People will look at you funny.

685
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,680
They will ask you questions.
It is not pleasant.

686
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,320
Yeah.
So anyway, I just that that bit

687
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,680
I was like, this is this is a
writer who does live in Los

688
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,720
Angeles and is finally, it is so
happy to get to talk about it.

689
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:36,400
Yes, this this writer lives in
LA.

690
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,640
Yeah, so our judges are
announced, which is such a long

691
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,720
running joke on this show that I
love.

692
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,600
It's my it's such a good joke,
The judges that they get for the

693
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,040
sumfire competitions.
Marlee Matlin.

694
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:54,240
Played by herself.
Incredible.

695
00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:56,680
Who is first of all, a a
national treasure.

696
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,640
A fucking treasure.
A treasure, But the joke here.

697
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,000
She's she's deaf.
Is this she's deaf?

698
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,880
She's like she's judging a show
choir.

699
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,960
She's famously deaf.
Famously deaf.

700
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,080
Incredible actress.
Incredible.

701
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:14,600
She's deaf.
She is deaf and they don't.

702
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,040
Have an interpreter.
No, there's no interpreter.

703
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,360
No, there's no interpreter at
all.

704
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,200
She's just like hanging out,
just like, all right, we're just

705
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,360
doing this thing.
Love it, I love.

706
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,440
Her Jackie.
Hello, Jackie.

707
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,840
Incredible.
Why that pull?

708
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:29,880
I don't know.
No idea.

709
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,960
Incredible.
And then Prancer size inventor

710
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,520
Joanna Rohrbach.
The blade is so the the way

711
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,160
Blaine is so excited about
Prancer size, right?

712
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:41,840
Oh.
My God.

713
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,120
Incredible.
Oh my God.

714
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,200
And she just like, looks like a
little deer.

715
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:51,800
She's just like this, like
little, like little Wafy, fancy

716
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,400
little.
Oh my God, she was perfect.

717
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,520
It was perfect casting.
It was perfect acting.

718
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,160
She was such a little doll and
Blaine was just so excited.

719
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,200
I imagine he got her autograph
afterwards.

720
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,800
Oh absolutely.
I imagine he owns all of her

721
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,800
DVDs.
Yeah.

722
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,720
And this is how he, like, stays
limber.

723
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:11,680
Yeah.
This is his, like, warm up for

724
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,360
dance routine, like for dance
rehearsals.

725
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,440
Prancer.
Incredible work.

726
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,920
Second best joke in the episode,
correct?

727
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,720
I love it.
So now it's time for a good 1/3

728
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:25,440
of the episode, which is just
performances.

729
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,840
I missed this.
Yeah, we got Group One.

730
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,040
Turns out one of 16.
We only see 3.

731
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,800
The Amazonians.
From Oklahoma City.

732
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,240
Indeed.
I don't know how those out those

733
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:41,960
names don't connect.
I was No, they would.

734
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,720
I have no idea, but they're
dressed as Vegas showgirls with

735
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:47,680
beat balls.
Yep.

736
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:53,320
For reasons, just let it ride.
And they yeah, apparently it's a

737
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,680
triple medley, but we only hear.
Yeah.

738
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,680
I which for me begged the
question, like who?

739
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:04,680
Who actually sings these?
Like do they just have Dave

740
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,800
Singers come in and record?
Probably, I remember back in the

741
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,640
back in the Warbler eras didn't
they used to like hire the

742
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,040
external show choirs?
Yeah, to.

743
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,760
Do this kind of work?
Yeah, I was like, give credit

744
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,960
where credit's due.
You guys like who who does

745
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,480
these?
Yeah, but during this we see

746
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,440
Bert and Carroll checking out of
the hotel.

747
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,720
Bye Bert.
Bye, Carol.

748
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:33,520
Have a nice day.
And then Group 2 throat

749
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,960
explosion from Fort Wayne, IN.
Let me tell you how mad I got at

750
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,160
Throat Explosion during Mr.
Roboto.

751
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,680
Their song was great.
Mr. Roboto was a great.

752
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,040
They did.
They did amazingly.

753
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,560
OK, but this isn't a dancing
show.

754
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,160
This is a singing show.
Take off your masks.

755
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,040
I want to hear you sing.
I want to watch it with your

756
00:38:53,040 --> 00:39:00,040
face.
To OK not not to just be like

757
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,560
the new direction should always
win.

758
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,480
Throat explosion did not do
better.

759
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,040
No, they were not better than
the New Directions.

760
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:14,640
The thing I think that New
Directions, the thing that

761
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,320
bothered me about throat
explosion, was just like Vocal

762
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,120
Adrenaline beforehand.
It was a one man program.

763
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,840
Yes, I was like, this guy's
getting more solos than Jesse.

764
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,680
It was Blaine and the Pips.
Yes.

765
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,520
And don't get me wrong, it was a
great rendition to play in the

766
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,720
pips.
It was.

767
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,040
But one of the things that new
the new directions has have a

768
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,440
really, I guess you know, from
a, from a teacher perspective,

769
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,000
what they've really tried to
work on their growth area as it

770
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,440
were, was they're distributing
the main vocals.

771
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,840
Yeah.
More than they used to and I

772
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,400
really appreciated that and as a
judge I would have given them

773
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,120
more brownie points for that.
Totally, Yeah.

774
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,800
But yeah, not not for me, not
for me.

775
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,680
I guess I also, I don't know how
any of these shows are judged,

776
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:08,840
right?
No, but like the the the suits

777
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,480
that Mister Roboto had.
Yeah.

778
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,000
And then the the bright blue
suits and dresses, like they

779
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,080
didn't coordinate.
I was like negative points for

780
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,520
the 2 outfits being totally dis
coordinate.

781
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,320
It was the the vibe was just
mass.

782
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,680
It was just.
And it was like Mr. Roboto and

783
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,640
counting stars don't even go
together.

784
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,320
No like why these two?
Songs I What's the theme?

785
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,520
I don't like it.
Well, the theme is that Skyler

786
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,480
Aston Jean Baptiste is the new
Rachel.

787
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:43,560
Yeah, that's the theme, yeah.
And I just not to suck their

788
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,720
Dick, but like New Directions
did better.

789
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:49,480
Now we don't know how the other
13 teams did.

790
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,280
We have to assume they weren't
as good.

791
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,920
Yeah, but I was like, no, I'm
sorry.

792
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,640
By the end of.
This was not better.

793
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,160
By the end of this though, I was
like no actually.

794
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,680
Actually, this and like last
season, I I would not have said

795
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,120
that New Directions should have
won.

796
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,760
Like last season they shouldn't
have.

797
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,520
This season, they should have.
They should.

798
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:15,000
They should have they.
They, they did it so, so before

799
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,720
New directions perform, they do
like a, a group circle up and

800
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:21,480
they're doing, Mr. Shue's doing
this like we don't have the big

801
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,840
budget.
Like don't you though?

802
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,080
You do.
Spend how much money every

803
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,240
fucking week on your sets just
to like just to train?

804
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,160
Yeah, you do.
You do have the budget.

805
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,240
We didn't come here to win.
Then why are you here, bitch?

806
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,960
Like you came here to win.
You were the reigning national

807
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,480
champions.
If you didn't come here to win,

808
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,320
give someone else your slot.
Yeah.

809
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,360
Don't come here just to like
perform.

810
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,040
We're.
Having a good time, that was.

811
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,680
That was Season 1.
Yeah, we're just here.

812
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,600
We're just here to perform and
have a good time.

813
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,920
Fuck off.
But thankfully, Carol does

814
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,520
exactly that.
She she returns to call him out

815
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,640
on his shit because she couldn't
leave her children behind.

816
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,720
That's right, that's right,
because Finn wouldn't have left

817
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:02,160
them, and neither will she.
And thankfully, the parents call

818
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,240
them out on being the reigning
national champions because they

819
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:07,640
are the only ones with a brain
in this goddamn show.

820
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:11,880
For real.
And Carol and Tina, They're no.

821
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:15,440
I love them so much.
I love them so much, best

822
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,720
characters.
Top top 2 characters in the show

823
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:19,600
Carol.
Sorry.

824
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,440
Sorry.
Glenn Carol Bart Bart Carol

825
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:23,480
Yeah.
Carol.

826
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,240
Bart Bergao, The Sebastian.
Hummel, the Hummel Hudson

827
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:29,920
Anderson clan.
Yes, 100%.

828
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,280
So now it's time for the New
Directions.

829
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:42,840
I love two of these songs.
I couldn't begin to tell you I

830
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,000
enjoyed.
I enjoyed all three of them.

831
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,560
I think I only immediately
recognized one of them still.

832
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,160
Haven't found what I'm looking
for.

833
00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:53,880
Yeah, I love more than a
feeling.

834
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,280
Oh, of course I know, I, I know
that song.

835
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,640
God, I just didn't write them
down.

836
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,360
I'm like, what did they?
Sing Yeah, I love that song.

837
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,480
I'm going to be like I knew it
before Glee, but like obviously

838
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,000
because I have old ass parents,
right?

839
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,640
Love that song.
They do a great job.

840
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,280
The arrangement here, I was just
thinking like, obviously the

841
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,400
show choirs aren't doing
acapella, right?

842
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,240
Like they just can't, clearly.
But I was like, who in the back

843
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:23,200
has got an electric guitar?
Yeah, I don't know, like.

844
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,120
What is the what's the band
arrangement during this?

845
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,200
Like they're not on stage.
Is there a pit?

846
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:31,280
I don't see a pit.
So who's playing all these

847
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,480
fucking instruments?
I don't know anyway, but.

848
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,280
Help help help.
Remind me, what 3 songs do they

849
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,960
sing in a row?
So they do more than a Feeling,

850
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:46,960
which is by Boston, the band
Boston, they do America by Neil

851
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,400
Diamond, and then they do I
Still Haven't Found What I'm

852
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,680
Looking For by U2.
OK, so it was, it was the middle

853
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,160
one that I didn't recognize.
I don't care for that song.

854
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,600
I know that they say these are
all of Finn's faves and I was

855
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,280
like America, really.
The other two make sense.

856
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,040
I get those being like kind of
rock songs.

857
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,560
Maybe they were quarries?
Maybe, yeah, maybe.

858
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,560
Yeah.
But the America when I was like

859
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,440
this one.
Oh, you know what?

860
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,200
They are Corey's favorite songs
in real life.

861
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,240
Oh, OK, there we go.
There it is.

862
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,320
I was like America, This is the
one that stands out is like not

863
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,880
with the others, but yes, it's
they're.

864
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,760
That's why it's in the middle,
because it doesn't quite.

865
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,120
Because it doesn't fit.
But OK, so like the color here.

866
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,520
At least they get to sing as a
team.

867
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,000
We just finished watching Jean
Baptiste and the Pips and now

868
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,120
they get to sing as a team.
Tina gets to sing in front of

869
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:38,880
people.
Congratulations baby girl, you

870
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,240
finally made it.
Sounds so good.

871
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,080
And she and Blaine are doing
amazingly.

872
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,640
She gets her little air guitar
moment and I love this for her

873
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,240
and my notes say OK so I'm
getting the good Glee goosebumps

874
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:52,600
from this number.
I missed y'all.

875
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,160
These are my new directions.
Yes, 100.

876
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:58,040
Percent and cause like her and
then you would be flashed to

877
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:04,760
Carol's face in the in the crowd
between songs one and two and my

878
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,040
notes read please tell me this
is one of Carol's favorite songs

879
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,400
because she got so excited
because like it's written on

880
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,680
it's all over her face.
She's like, Oh my God, I know.

881
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,240
I love this song.
Yeah.

882
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,720
And I love, one of the things I
love about the middle song about

883
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:21,960
America is that they're the
entire choreography piece is is

884
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,760
folklore footwork.
These are all folk dances.

885
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,640
Oh yeah.
Like, this isn't, you know,

886
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:33,400
Cheerios choreography.
This is like American folk

887
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,040
dancing.
And I just thought that was

888
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,480
neat.
It's neat and it like it looked

889
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:43,320
a little different because like
after a while the the dancing

890
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,840
starts to look the same.
Yeah, it really does.

891
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,560
Which I it's got to make it so
hard for the judges to be like,

892
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,720
who's better at this?
Like, I don't know, they all

893
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:53,800
look the same.
They all look the same.

894
00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:00,720
But yeah, it was really cute and
like, this was such a good

895
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,960
national.
This was such a good nationals

896
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,120
like.
It was so good.

897
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,080
And then, you know, they, they
move into still haven't found

898
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,920
what I'm looking for.
And I love this.

899
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,320
I love the song as a kid.
I, I love it now.

900
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,480
And this is where like the, the
writers and the producers and

901
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,240
the, the whole team really comes
together to injure us, to hurt

902
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:21,920
us specifically.
This was Finn's favorite song.

903
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,280
They're singing all of his
favorite songs and Sam really

904
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,920
has like the lead here and he's
taking it really strongly.

905
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:36,000
And then we start flashing back
to little thin moments in the

906
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,760
cut.
We we get a little senior moment

907
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,920
in this, in this number with the
Sam and Blaine and Artie and

908
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:49,920
Tina singing together in the
front, which was, you know, And

909
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,440
then of course, we get the three
hot Cheerios.

910
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:58,080
Shout out to the hot Cheerios.
And so I had a little like.

911
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,080
It's so cute.
My God.

912
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,040
And then so, you know, the song
is big and beautiful and like,

913
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,040
he's very exciting.
And then, you know, they all get

914
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,520
in places for the ending and the
song ends and they all pump

915
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,440
their hands up like Finn used to
do Except Finn.

916
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,480
So Sam has Finn's drumsticks in
his hand and you know, and he

917
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:23,240
like, puts his first up and my
notes read all caps and Finn's

918
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:25,520
drumsticks.
Actually crying on my couch

919
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,160
right now.
Real life tears in my eyeballs.

920
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,160
I had real life eyeball tears.
Oh yeah, 100%.

921
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,960
Real life tears sitting in the
year of our lore, 2025.

922
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:41,600
Yeah, from when I started, when
they started flashing like the

923
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:43,760
the flashbacks of Finn with him,
I was like, oh.

924
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,800
No, no.
Like it's starting.

925
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,320
It's starting.
This was this was the

926
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,240
celebration of life.
This was the reception.

927
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:53,960
This is the God.
I miss Finn.

928
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,600
Let's talk about him.
Yeah.

929
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:03,440
This was, this was it, this was
it, and it just, it was so good.

930
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,280
It was.
So good it was.

931
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,320
So good.
So you know we are all

932
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,560
celebrating because the New
Directions kicked ass and so the

933
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,520
whole team is backstage and
they're all so excited, but Sam

934
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,880
is missing.
Why is Sam missing?

935
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:22,880
Sam is missing.
He is taking a little a little

936
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,800
moment to himself afterwards and
and Chu finds him and he's like,

937
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,360
I did my best.
You did great.

938
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,920
He's.
Having a little a little cry

939
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:38,000
afterwards.
My God, he, I can't imagine.

940
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,000
I mean, I can't imagine what
he's feeling.

941
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,840
All this pressure, all this
stuff to to fill this legacy.

942
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,320
And it's, you know, he feels
like he let him down.

943
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,800
He lost.
You know, Finn, he doesn't know

944
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,360
if he did good enough to to to
win nationals.

945
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,840
He doesn't know, you know, what
his life's going to look like.

946
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,120
He's not going to college.
I did my best Mr. Shu.

947
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:05,800
And Shu, of course, doesn't get
it because he's like, yeah, you

948
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,280
did great.
And then Sam just, like, looks

949
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:09,720
at him with, like, the big, sad
eyes.

950
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:14,160
And this I did my best.
Yep, you did your best.

951
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,720
I want to wrap that boy up real
tight.

952
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:23,760
You did so good.
You did so good.

953
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:28,520
You had so much pressure on your
shoulders and you did so good,

954
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,360
pumpkin and.
They're like teenagers.

955
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,000
Yeah, like 1717 years old.
They're just, they're just kids.

956
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,640
They're just kids and everyone
knows it too.

957
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,960
Like like they said the show
choir blogs like all the other

958
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,600
teams know.
Yeah, they all know.

959
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,120
That they're that team.
Yeah.

960
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,480
No pressure though.
No pressure.

961
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,560
It's fine.
And they don't know yet because

962
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,360
Mr. Shuster hasn't told them
because he's a punk ass bitch.

963
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,080
He's a punk ass bitch.
That if they don't win, they're

964
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:04,600
done, which sucks.
Just a lot of a lot riding on

965
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,160
this one.
Just a lot going on for them.

966
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,720
Yeah.
So I guess also during the

967
00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:17,200
break, Marley's having a little
moment to herself outside and

968
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:22,520
Mercedes approaches her and it's
just like, hey, next time a song

969
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,480
of yours gets rejected you get
to have like a 3 minute pity

970
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,640
party because your songs are
really good.

971
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,080
I will have as long a pity party
as I want to.

972
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,880
Thanks so much.
Hey, hey.

973
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,400
I will cry about it as long as I
need.

974
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:36,520
Yeah, back off.
It's.

975
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,440
My party and I'll cry if I want
to.

976
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:41,400
Yeah, yeah.
Back.

977
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,440
Go away.
Like, I understand what she's

978
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,720
trying to do because in
Hollywood, that's the only word

979
00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:48,720
you hear is no, It's the only
word you ever hear.

980
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:51,720
And you have to be able to push
through it in order to keep

981
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,400
believing in yourself and your
product and your talent in order

982
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:59,160
to get where you want.
And also and also.

983
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,920
And also like, this isn't about
you.

984
00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:06,640
Yeah, yeah, a weird way to
approach.

985
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,040
But honestly, her dress was
adorable.

986
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,880
So was her little blazer.
She was looking every every inch

987
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,880
the Los Angeles soul queen that
she is.

988
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,200
Yes and telling her telling
Marley not to give up on her

989
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,480
dreams because her songs are
really good and she knows all

990
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,080
about rejection because she lost
all her shit to Rachel.

991
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,760
Like, OK, but like, are you
going to help or not?

992
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,960
Like, is, is the help that
you're giving just a pep talk or

993
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:38,040
are you going to like, tell her
how to navigate the music world?

994
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,680
Well, not in these two minutes.
Well, yeah, but she's she

995
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,240
doesn't end the scene with like,
and I'm going to help you.

996
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:49,720
No, she ends the the scene by
reminding us that she dumped Sam

997
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:51,440
Evans twice.
Right.

998
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:52,680
Like.
And should have.

999
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,840
And you shouldn't have because,
you know, OK.

1000
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,120
Cuz you were cute together.
But you were cute together.

1001
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,000
It's fine.
But yeah, it was it was a weird.

1002
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,440
I just kind of expected that
scene to end with like and call

1003
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,280
me when you want help.
Yes.

1004
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,440
Or something, some sort of like
outreach?

1005
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,200
Yeah, call me the next time
you've got a competition and

1006
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:12,800
we'll search it out together,
you know?

1007
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,480
Yeah, whatever.
Something something.

1008
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,600
Something, but no, it's just
like don't give up, like, OK.

1009
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,200
You've got this.
It feels like a, you know.

1010
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,120
A Mr. Shue well.
He feels like a Mr. Shue, but it

1011
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:25,960
also feels like those like
interview rejection letters,

1012
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,720
like thank you for replying.
We move forward with other

1013
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:28,600
candidates.
Don't give up.

1014
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,720
We'll keep your name on file.
No Mercedes.

1015
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:39,320
Cool, thank you.
So now it's time to give out the

1016
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,560
awards and Throat Explosion
wins.

1017
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,760
RIP And like, Tina finally
getting some screen time where

1018
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:52,000
she's not crying, Liz, like
talking to Mr. Shuster, like on

1019
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,240
stage, like, yeah, you doing OK?
And he's like, yeah, just a lot

1020
00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:57,160
riding on it this time.
And my, my, my note, because I

1021
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,840
don't remember shit, was what
did you do, William Michael

1022
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:03,840
Shuster.
So the entire Glee club is

1023
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,720
riding on it, is what he did.
Yeah, so throat explosion wins

1024
00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:10,320
and my note is second place.
Hell yeah, I'll, I'll bring it

1025
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:11,600
on.
Right.

1026
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,160
Yeah, second place. 2nd place
hell yeah Which?

1027
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:18,440
You know, out of 16 national
teams, yeah. 2nd place is not

1028
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,800
bad.
I think I think they should have

1029
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,440
won this one.
I mean, we don't know what the

1030
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,160
other teams were like, so maybe
they shouldn't have, but not

1031
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:26,800
overthroat explosion.
They were not that good.

1032
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,400
Yeah, well, if if throat
explosion was one and New

1033
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,200
Directions was 2, they only had
to be better than Throat

1034
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:32,800
explosion.
And they were better than throat

1035
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,480
explosion.
True, exactly like they were.

1036
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,400
Unless there was a bribery going
on with Marley Matlin that we

1037
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,720
don't know about.
Something something.

1038
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:45,880
But you know, Blaine's just like
looking up at the sky and his

1039
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,480
like his little, his like sad
puppy eyes and it's just, you

1040
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,720
could just feel it.
You could feel it.

1041
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,160
That's his last shot.
His last shot.

1042
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,320
RIP New directions I guess.
Thanks, Sue.

1043
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,800
Thanks, Sue.
And then they're they're back at

1044
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:06,400
McKinley, back on set, hanging
the photo, the plaque of Finn

1045
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,040
back up because it turns out
someone at throat explosion did

1046
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,560
steal it right row.
And nothing really happened with

1047
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,000
that storyline and.
Cause Blaine Blaine's new

1048
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,240
boyfriend Jean Baptiste sent it
back.

1049
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,040
Yeah, he's on it back.
He apologized and like nothing

1050
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,200
really came of it.
Similar.

1051
00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:28,320
OK, I guess.
Yeah.

1052
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,880
It was weird, but you know,
they're just this kind of tussle

1053
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,760
with some of the Glee club
members about like, oh, it's

1054
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,800
second place that sucks.
And like, well, actually, Finn

1055
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,600
wouldn't have been mad about
second place because you know,

1056
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,080
it's second place.
We we rocked it.

1057
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,960
And Carol's there to be like,
win or lose, Finn lives in you

1058
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:53,760
guys, which is a really nice
sentiment for them.

1059
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,560
Yeah, and we got to give her a
credit to our girl Tina Cohen

1060
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,480
Chang feeling inspired by Miss
Lydia Martin with her Lydia

1061
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,360
Martin hair.
Yes.

1062
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,680
With her like braid crown.
Love this for you.

1063
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:07,560
I love a braid crown.
I do.

1064
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,280
I do.
But we are having like a big

1065
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,400
emotional moment with the Glee
club and all of the things that

1066
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,080
they they believe and the things
that they earn and things they

1067
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,200
worked for and the parents and
everyone's here and then all of

1068
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,680
a sudden.
Oops, in comes trouble.

1069
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,760
In comes trouble and I'm like
I'm looking at Becky and I've

1070
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,560
missed season one.
Season 2 Becky I just don't

1071
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:34,640
hold.
I just have to hold season 2

1072
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,200
Becky near and dear in my heart
because season 5 Becky sucks.

1073
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,200
My note is all caps.
Becky, please don't ruin this.

1074
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,120
Oh, she's going to, because she
sucks.

1075
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,440
She didn't used to.
No, but this version sucks bad.

1076
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,840
Yeah, this version sucks bad.
Yeah, can't, can't stand her.

1077
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,400
And it's she's there to send Mr.
Shue to the principal's office.

1078
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:01,200
Yeah, dead man walking.
Dead man walking where Coach

1079
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:05,880
Ross is there, having won the
Cheerios, a national

1080
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,920
championship trophy, I guess at
the very same time.

1081
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,520
I guess, yeah.
But yes, Coach Ross has one, and

1082
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,680
she makes an interesting point.
It's like, well, it must feel

1083
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,920
funny to know that it wasn't
just you who brought the

1084
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,920
Cheerios, all those national
trophies.

1085
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,560
And I was sitting here going
like, oh, that's fighting.

1086
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:27,640
Words.
She's right though.

1087
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:32,040
She's right, because those girls
are excellent.

1088
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,200
Yeah, they are.
Yeah.

1089
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,280
They are.
They are, in fact, excellent.

1090
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,960
And they have been.
And you know Roz didn't drag the

1091
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,200
whole thing into the ground.
It's fine.

1092
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,720
Yeah.
I mean, we never see it, but

1093
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,040
yeah.
Got the national trophy.

1094
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:47,400
We have to imagine that she's
fine.

1095
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:50,560
And just, we'll just pretend
it's fine.

1096
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:58,040
So she leaves and it's now just
our favorite duo.

1097
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,720
And Sue's like, listen, I, I
know you think I, I'm sure you

1098
00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:07,520
think that you're, I might give
you a last minute reprieve for

1099
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:13,640
your Glee club, but I can't
because my job is concerned with

1100
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,840
the health of the entire school.
So it's an adult thing to say.

1101
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,160
It's not like we've ever seen
the McKinley high budget.

1102
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,080
Maybe her her Cheerios cannons
could be cut.

1103
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:32,560
Perhaps, like my notes here,
it's like Sue is just this is

1104
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,360
weird.
This isn't this isn't OOC.

1105
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,760
This is an out of character Sue
Sylvester for me it.

1106
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,760
Is a very soft and gentle.
It's a very.

1107
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,840
Soft and gentle Sue Sylvester.
And so she goes through the

1108
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:49,160
lists of clubs that have
apparently brought home their

1109
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,880
big championships.
All at the same time.

1110
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,760
And then the clubs that are
getting cut because they didn't.

1111
00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:01,960
And like, I get it as a plot
device, right?

1112
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,640
I get it as a plot device that
there has to be some kind of

1113
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:10,400
consequence for Will Shuster.
But at least in my neck of the

1114
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:14,880
woods, in the schools that I
have worked at, it's about

1115
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,800
funding and allocation.
It's as long as there are

1116
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,360
students who are interested, a
club will survive as long as it

1117
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:23,960
has a faculty member to sponsor
it.

1118
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,520
It's you don't have to have a
budget.

1119
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:31,000
Now, do they want a budget?
Yes, they do.

1120
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,320
And Sue talks about taking the
choir room and turning it into

1121
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,480
into two classrooms, which
honestly, it shouldn't.

1122
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,400
It's not that big, it should be
all classroom at best.

1123
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,720
Also it's like sometimes it has
a gas leak in it.

1124
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,600
Yeah, God, don't do that.
And you have other arts

1125
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,600
programs, you have band, you
have other people who use the

1126
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:50,760
risers.
It's fine, guys.

1127
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:55,320
Just you put it's fine.
But it's about who you can get

1128
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,920
to sponsor clubs.
It's about where you put your

1129
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,040
money.
So it's like, it's not a I'm

1130
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,200
going to shut down the Glee club
because it's losing me money.

1131
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:06,000
It's hey, you guys actually have
to pay your own way to nationals

1132
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,360
this year, right?
Yeah, it's not about hey, I need

1133
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,280
you know, you have to you have
to get cut because you and the

1134
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,800
nine kids are, you know, eating
away at my resources.

1135
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:22,560
It that it just it I get why it
is a plot device, but in real I

1136
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,720
just the no no, not how it
works, not for.

1137
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,600
Another bake sale.
Yeah, for real.

1138
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,480
But she does give me a line that
really helps, that really help

1139
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,120
seal it.
It's you didn't lose William.

1140
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,400
Game's just over.
Yeah, I really like that line I.

1141
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,280
Really like that line.
Except it doesn't stick.

1142
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,960
No.
It's not like the Glee club is

1143
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,400
over.
This would have been a a very

1144
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:53,680
interesting end of the series.
Yes, like ending here season 5

1145
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:55,400
or something.
Yeah, you didn't lose games,

1146
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,840
just over.
Yeah, because sometimes things

1147
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,560
end in a way that you wish they
didn't like.

1148
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:06,160
Glee club is over, people are
going off to college and maybe

1149
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,280
they start joining the Glee
clubs at their colleges.

1150
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:14,400
And whoever is left at McKinley,
start something new, right?

1151
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,080
Because that would be a really
good way to do this.

1152
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,480
Is that if in case if it wasn't
about, hey, you, you came in

1153
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:25,320
second nationally, which is not
bad Shakes.

1154
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,840
That's good press.
It's about you have been

1155
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,480
struggling to maintain
competition membership for the

1156
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,120
last four semesters.
Yeah, they have.

1157
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,760
It's that you actually can't get
enough kids to qualify for the

1158
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,680
things you're asking me to spend
money on.

1159
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:48,080
And so if you can improve your,
you know, in house recruitment,

1160
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:52,560
then you can come to me and ask
for money to go do places and do

1161
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,520
things and etcetera.
Yeah, but it's like the fact

1162
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,240
that Sam had to, to, to recruit
3 hot Cheerios in order to

1163
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,680
compete at nationals is like not
a good look.

1164
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,600
Like that would have made more
sense.

1165
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:09,840
They wasn't there.
Was it one of the lines from one

1166
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,440
of the throat explosion or
someone's like your little high

1167
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,840
school or something?
Yeah, there's apparently like 1

1168
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,200
high school in the Lima City
School District if they're using

1169
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,120
Lima, OH as like a proxy like
the real Lima.

1170
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,680
Oh yeah, it's got 1500 students
enrolled in it.

1171
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,440
There should be enough students
to fill a Glee club.

1172
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,680
You would think that a school of
that size would have a choir.

1173
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,120
Yeah.
Especially they'd feel like Glee

1174
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:37,840
club if they didn't have a
choir.

1175
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,080
Yeah.
I don't know but it just this

1176
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,280
whole thing, like I understand
it as a plot device, but

1177
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,680
especially if the episode aired
in March, it's not even like a

1178
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:50,240
mid season break.
It's just like a poorly just

1179
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,400
planned plot device.
Yeah, it's just the episode.

1180
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:55,960
It's just the tension I guess,
like, but whatever.

1181
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,000
And because, like, the next one
is the 100th episode, it airs

1182
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,720
the very next week.
It's, you know, again, there's

1183
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,640
no break.
Yeah, it's very odd, but Oh no,

1184
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,600
Before we get to 100, I wonder
if that episode is special.

1185
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,800
We have a very important closing
scene.

1186
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,760
Yes, we do.
We unfortunately, and I think

1187
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,680
they should not have done this.
I like this actually.

1188
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,520
I do hate this we.
We flash over to the Spotlight

1189
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:25,200
Diner in New York City to find
Kurt announcing to Rachel and

1190
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,040
Santana that the New Directions
are being disbanded.

1191
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,680
Now, who he gets this text
message from, we don't know.

1192
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,600
He doesn't even say it's Blaine,
just that he's gotten a message.

1193
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,600
It's from the blog.
It could have been like the

1194
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:43,280
blogs, the show choir.
Blogs.

1195
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,480
The show choir blogs, he's just
like has a message which is such

1196
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,480
lazy, like Blaine just called
like your fiance, like no one

1197
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,840
somebody and they're all
shocked.

1198
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,000
I just got 7 texts from Sam and
Artie and Tina and Blaine.

1199
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:01,000
Yeah, something, something to
say that you are still connected

1200
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,920
to these people because you are.
You're getting married to one of

1201
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:03,880
them.
In theory.

1202
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:09,080
In theory, I don't.
Even care anymore about this

1203
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,720
like.
I don't even care anymore.

1204
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,400
I don't even care like let let
Kurt hook up with Star child,

1205
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,040
let Blade hook up with John Buck
tease.

1206
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,080
If the two of them want to get
together again then they will.

1207
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,680
It's fine just.
Do your job as writers, it's not

1208
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,000
that hard.
But no, this this scene was

1209
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:30,160
really like out of pocket it.
Was so unnecessary, like we

1210
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:34,800
don't need it like.
This would have been a great

1211
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,000
opening to the next episode.
Yeah.

1212
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:38,600
And then just like Bloom, bloom,
bloom, bloom.

1213
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,080
Yeah.
That you perfect.

1214
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,320
You didn't lose, the game is
over and episode.

1215
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:45,600
Cut to black.
Done.

1216
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,120
Done, done.
So easy.

1217
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,600
SO and then then you get like, I
don't know, 15 extra seconds to

1218
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,360
fill out another scene
somewhere, right?

1219
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:58,200
Like, it's not that hard.
That's like, writing's not that

1220
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,040
hard because I know making TV
shows is incredibly fucking

1221
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,800
difficult.
Like it's really fucking shit is

1222
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,000
hard.
It's so, it is so hard not to

1223
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:07,840
shit on the writers, but
sometimes to shit on these

1224
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,360
fucking writers.
You know who you are, you'll

1225
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:11,960
never hear, you'll never hear
this.

1226
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,400
You don't listen to this, but
like, what are you doing?

1227
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,400
Who made you put this tag on the
end of the episode?

1228
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,200
Who made you do it?
Who made you put this bump like?

1229
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,120
Why?
Why?

1230
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,120
Why did you do this?
What?

1231
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,040
What combination of Jessica?
Mayer.

1232
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,480
Hey.
Jessica, you're the head writer

1233
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,040
on this episode.
Jessica, why did you do this?

1234
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:30,600
Who made you do this?
Who made you do this?

1235
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:36,160
Who hurt you?
Like why this is, oh, you know

1236
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:37,800
what?
This is the only episode that

1237
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,280
you have a credit for on Glee.
Why?

1238
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,720
Why did you do this?
I don't know, but the rest of

1239
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,640
the episode was great.
Rest of the episode was great

1240
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,080
giving you that.
We'll give you that, but like,

1241
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,480
no.
Yeah, it was it.

1242
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,960
Yeah, the the tag was weird, but
as a as a whole, this episode

1243
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,280
was great.
It yes, it was it was old Glee.

1244
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,200
It was the send off for is the
emotional send off for Finn that

1245
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,360
I needed.
It Yes, absolutely.

1246
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,440
That was the good part, I.
Really like this episode and the

1247
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:10,320
music and the music.
I as the seasons carry on in

1248
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,400
Glee, it's like sometimes they
forget the people watch the show

1249
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,320
for the music, right?
Like, no, no, I want to hear

1250
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:16,760
people sing.
I do, I want to.

1251
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,320
I want to watch them sing with
their face holes.

1252
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,960
Yeah, I the rest of it is like
filler.

1253
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:23,920
I want to watch people sing.
Yeah.

1254
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:27,960
So if you could get to the
singing, that would be great.

1255
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:35,600
Like, yeah, it's unfortunate
that so often the episode is

1256
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,400
like, oh, here's also a song,
like, no, no, no, that that's

1257
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:39,680
actually what I'm here for.
Right?

1258
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,040
If you could get back to doing
the singing.

1259
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,680
Yeah.
Of of Glee.

1260
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,440
That would be super.
The sing songs.

1261
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,000
The sing songs, the wee woos.
I want the wee woos.

1262
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,640
I want the wee.
Woos of the show.

1263
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:54,800
Actually.
If you could do that for me,

1264
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,320
that would be great.
Thank you so much.

1265
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,600
Thank you.
Yeah.

1266
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:02,280
So it's a competition episode,
which is, but this was a

1267
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,160
competition episode that
actually managed to do some

1268
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,840
feels, so I like it.
I do I really like this episode.

1269
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,960
I like this episode.
It's a good episode.

1270
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:10,640
It's.
A good episode it's a.

1271
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,360
Good episode.
It's a good episode.

1272
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:14,280
I can get that.
I have to.

1273
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,040
Good episode.
It was a good episode.

1274
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:19,360
I don't know.
I don't know what you want me to

1275
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:20,320
say about this.
It was good.

1276
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,320
I liked it.
Yeah, I got, I got, I got

1277
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:23,400
nothing else for you on that
one.

1278
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,440
There are some interesting
little factoids from the wiki

1279
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:33,520
that's ready to go.
Apparently there was going to be

1280
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,920
original song in this episode
that they didn't do and it's

1281
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,800
unknown if they ever actually
filmed or record it.

1282
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,560
Unless it was a full cast
rendition of Hell to the no, I

1283
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:44,320
don't want to.
See it?

1284
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,520
It's the first episode of Season
5 where Rachel doesn't sing.

1285
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:53,600
By.
It's the last episode in the

1286
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,520
season where Unique Kitty and
Jake sing.

1287
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,400
Oh.
It's apparently the last time

1288
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,440
Jake sings in the whole series.
No.

1289
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,680
Yeah.
Oh no.

1290
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,160
I know.
He's so good.

1291
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:18,280
He's so good, yeah.
Jacob Artist I'm sorry, I'm

1292
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,080
sorry.
I'm sorry.

1293
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,920
You were so good.
He's pretty funny on TikTok.

1294
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,360
You deserve.
More I hope your career is

1295
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,960
flourishing.
I know he's he's he's funny.

1296
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:32,720
He's funny on TikTok.
The one of the Cheerios.

1297
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,960
The one of the three hot
Cheerios, Yeah, is, at the time,

1298
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:42,120
like a Lady Gaga backup dancer.
Awesome, I love that for her.

1299
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,680
Yeah.
So like, no wonder they're

1300
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:48,040
phenomenal anyway.
But yeah, it's funny when you

1301
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,400
start season seeing the like,
this is the last episode this

1302
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,160
person appeared in.
Like, oh right, Season 6 is

1303
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:53,240
coming and they're just not
there.

1304
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,440
They're just not there.
Where did they go?

1305
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,920
I really appreciate that it took
three hot Cheerios to fill the

1306
01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:05,560
void of Mike Chang right when
Mike Chang equals 3 hot

1307
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,920
Cheerios.
That sounds like that sounds

1308
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:09,080
like math I guess.
That's math.

1309
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,880
That's math that works.
That's that math is math in

1310
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,800
yeah, who's the who's the 1st
asshole to say that that thing

1311
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,399
is thingin.
I don't know, I don't know.

1312
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:24,359
Cuz now it's just in my brain
and it's so old already and I

1313
01:08:24,359 --> 01:08:26,600
can't let it go.
It's it's in your brain now.

1314
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,840
I'm very sorry.
It's in my brain, yeah.

1315
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,760
So I don't know.
What was your What was your

1316
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,359
favorite song?
My favorite song hands down was

1317
01:08:36,359 --> 01:08:37,800
I still haven't found what I'm
looking for.

1318
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,560
Yes, there's there's no
competition.

1319
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,920
No, sorry, no competition.
That was the best.

1320
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,200
Although I will give a shout out
to Mr. Roboto.

1321
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,439
OK, interesting.
I, I, I like that song.

1322
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:53,120
It's a fun song for me and I
think Skyler Aston was great.

1323
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:57,920
He was great, as you know, he he
did well here.

1324
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,319
I I could have seen more of him.
Yeah.

1325
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,279
Although I think if we'd seen
more of him we would've been

1326
01:09:03,279 --> 01:09:05,040
like, get off the screen,
correct?

1327
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:07,359
You're the new Rachel.
Get out of here.

1328
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:11,800
I know it's a fine, fine line to
have to to tow as a guest star,

1329
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:16,160
so I think you did good.
You did good, bud.

1330
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,960
Do you have any lines that stand
out for you?

1331
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:25,160
The really, the one that I the
the big one that I wrote down

1332
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:29,160
was you didn't lose.
The game's just over.

1333
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:31,880
That's a good one.
It was such a, it was such a

1334
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,040
good one to hit.
It just hit me so hard.

1335
01:09:34,359 --> 01:09:38,640
Yeah, that is good.
I just I I liked expect us.

1336
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,600
Throw an explosion expect us.
So I was watching the episode

1337
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:47,439
and my husband like walked out
of the office and into the into

1338
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,560
the living room where I was
watching and taking my notes and

1339
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,800
I just looked at him dead ass
and went throw an explosion

1340
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:56,360
expect us which which went about
as well as you think it would.

1341
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:58,440
Yep, uh huh.
Yep, totally.

1342
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,120
I can see that.
Just like expect.

1343
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,720
US.
And then slowly walking away,

1344
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:12,400
like, OK, what was that thing
that you liked?

1345
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:18,120
I really I I missed Burton
Carroll.

1346
01:10:18,440 --> 01:10:22,440
It was so good to see them and
honestly so because of the other

1347
01:10:22,440 --> 01:10:26,240
TV shows we watch, which you
know, teen wolf is just honestly

1348
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,800
is the best horror show on TV.
Like, let's talk about it.

1349
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:34,200
And then 911 with its awful,
awful, horrible physical,

1350
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,880
psychological, emotional damage,
emotional damage.

1351
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,720
It was so good to actually see
Carol like express a little

1352
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,240
PTSD, to express a little grief,
to like actually get work

1353
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:50,640
through some really real, really
hard feelings on screen.

1354
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,880
Because it just it, it's a kind
of a constant reminder that

1355
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,640
like, no, you, it's not that her
son died and then she just got

1356
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,080
over it.
It's that her son died and she

1357
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,440
will never get over it.
Totally.

1358
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,000
And then it will, it will follow
her around.

1359
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,960
And I just really, I didn't, I
don't like watching Carol

1360
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:12,240
suffer.
I of course not.

1361
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,400
But it was just really
refreshing and really nice to

1362
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:21,520
see to see it happen, to
acknowledge it, to bring it, to

1363
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,640
say it out loud.
I like storylines with

1364
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:29,880
consequences, correct?
Yeah, yeah, I agree that yes.

1365
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:35,040
And they do it so well.
Yeah, But I can't steal yours.

1366
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:43,080
I mean, I've liked everyone
getting to shine during

1367
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:44,840
Nationals, during the
performances.

1368
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:48,200
I like everyone getting their
moments rather than Blaine.

1369
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,480
And I mean, I love Blaine and
the Pips, but Blaine and the

1370
01:11:50,480 --> 01:11:54,000
Pips is is a warbler.
So I I loved everyone getting to

1371
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,840
shine.
Yes, Sam and Tina and Artie and

1372
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:58,680
Blaine and Marley and Kitty and
Jake.

1373
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,920
They all and unique a little bit
and like everyone got to

1374
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:04,080
actually sink, which was
awesome.

1375
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,160
Yeah, that was nice, especially
since I guess we aren't aren't

1376
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:08,280
going to be seeing some of these
people.

1377
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:09,120
Too much?
Yep.

1378
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,480
Miss you?
For shame.

1379
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,400
OK, well I guess that is.
I love LA.

1380
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:23,640
The next episode is 100, the
100th episode of Klee, if it

1381
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:28,080
wasn't obvious.
So that also makes this the

1382
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,560
100th regular episode of this
podcast.

1383
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,280
Do you know how many episodes
we've recorded over the various

1384
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:34,840
projects?
Too many.

1385
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:36,440
Too many.
So many.

1386
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,320
But yeah, it's the 100th episode
and I believe it's a weird one,

1387
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,280
but I don't really remember.
Yeah, probably.

1388
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,320
A little weird at this point, so
thank you for listening.
