Glee on the Rocks: 5x12 - "100", Part 2

Glee on the Rocks: 5x12 - "100", Part 2

Welcome back, Gleeks. You've made it to Part 2 of our look back at the 5x12, "100" - the 100th episode of Glee. We pick up right where we left off — the New Directions are still on life support, the Diva-Off is allegedly still a thing, and Rachel is still allergic to lasting character development.

💥 Part 2 Plot? Yeah, sure:

  • Mercedes finally tells Rachel that she’s the voice in her head that whispers doubt. Rachel responds with a line that’s basically “that sucks, I’m famous.” Classic Rachel Berry.

  • We get a “Defying Gravity” reprise that sparks no joy from us, a voting scene that makes no sense, and an immediate group decision to ignore the vote altogether. Classic Choir Room.

  • Coach Sue reveals Mr. Schue spent $2 million on nonsense like Katy Perry jungle sets and costumes, so the club is dead and in debt. Classic Mr. Schue.

  • April and Holly attempt a last-minute Glee Club rescue powered by vibes, fraud, and whatever’s in April’s bedazzled flask. Classic, April Rhodes.

But amidst the chaos of the 100th episode, one thing is certain: the Unholy Trinity are still perfect.

00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,200
Hey there, this is Emily from
Phantom on the Rocks.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,560
You are now going to be
listening to Part 2 of Season 5

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:11,040
episode 12100 because we just
kept talking while we were

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,440
recording this.
We would be embarrassed by that,

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,040
but frankly this is a Glee
podcast in our year 2025 and we

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,600
have nothing left to be
embarrassed by.

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,680
I hope you enjoyed Part 1 and
now Part 2 of 100.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,320
I mean, she's not beating the
allegations that she writes

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:47,490
Warbler's fan fiction.
You're listening to Glee on the

10
00:00:47,490 --> 00:00:49,730
Rocks.
Well, welcome back to Glee on

11
00:00:49,730 --> 00:00:51,650
the Rocks, a Phantom on the
Rocks podcast.

12
00:00:51,690 --> 00:00:53,370
I'm Emily.
I'm Mandy.

13
00:00:53,890 --> 00:00:55,690
I'm Dee.
I'm Adriana.

14
00:00:56,050 --> 00:00:59,730
And I'm Allison.
I would love to know if there

15
00:00:59,730 --> 00:01:03,090
was actually any reasoning for
why Mercedes would do it or if

16
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:06,130
it was just like, no, this is
the Rachel show.

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,000
I think it's the Rachel show and
I think it's another, I think

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,400
it's a bit like Quinn where
we're not going to see Mercedes

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,920
again, so let's give her a
scene.

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,960
And we've always used Mercedes
to prop up Rachel.

21
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:25,280
So we have like, this is what we
know how what to do with her.

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,880
Like the show is never going to
put Mercedes above Rachel.

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,040
It was never going to end her
time on screen with her

24
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,080
triumphing over Rachel.
It's never going to end with

25
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,800
them voting for Mercedes over
Rachel.

26
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,520
It was never going to end with
Rachel running out in a huff and

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,040
Mercedes being like yeah she
does suck ass like.

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,880
Sucks to suck.
Sucks, which sucks.

29
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,880
I'm making it in LA without
being a little bitch about it.

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Which is.
I wouldn't love to have seen

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,200
that.
There I am.

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,280
I would have.
I know that watching TV is free,

33
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,320
but I would have paid good
money.

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,600
And she's like, you know, she
says whenever a producer in LA

35
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,840
tells her that she's not ready,
which she's not.

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,720
She's 19.
She's 19.

37
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,160
Yeah.
She doesn't know how to make an

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,240
album.
Like sure, some people break

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,720
into the business at 19 and then
they get stomped on and never

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,880
get out.
Like the whole of Glee club

41
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,480
acting like when they don't
break into stardom the day they

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,840
graduate high school is the
worst day of their lives.

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,280
Like, what do you you barely the
ink on your degree is wet.

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,800
What are you talking about?
This is not how life works.

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,200
You have to go and try a little
bit before success happens, and

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,480
that's how it works for almost
everybody.

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,280
But she says that when someone
tells her she's not ready, it's

48
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,160
like someone from the Glee club
saying it, but that she uses it

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,760
as motivation, where Rachel uses
it as someone tearing her down.

50
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,640
She doesn't use it as a way to
lift her up and like keep her

51
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:01,360
going.
She takes it as a personal

52
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,880
attack because she doesn't know
anything else.

53
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,760
But also, how often is she told
no?

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Never.
She's somehow the lead in Fanny

55
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,840
Bryce.
And I think one of the things

56
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,480
that kind of grinds my gears
about this is I would have loved

57
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,360
to see this conversation between
so many other pairs of people.

58
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,680
Like, I would have loved to have
seen this conversation between

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,120
Rachel and Quinn, or between
Rachel and Santana or between

60
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,720
Santana and Mercedes or between,
you know, fuck Mercedes and

61
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,560
Quinn or between, you know, Puck
and Mercedes or.

62
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,080
Literally.
I just so there are so many

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,480
other combinations of you are my
tormentor.

64
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,720
Yours is the voice in my head
that tells me I can't do

65
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,640
something that's such a powerful
conversation and they blew it

66
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,040
here because at the end of the
day, Mercedes is like you're the

67
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280
voice in my head and Rachel's
like sucks to suck.

68
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,080
I'm Fanny Bryce.
Like it, just it.

69
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,520
She says, she says, do you think
that Beyoncé and Barbara have

70
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,640
these kinds of conversations?
And I was like comparing Beyoncé

71
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,040
and Barbara.
He's crazy.

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Like the fuck are you doing?
Like it's.

73
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,360
Fucking apples and kumquats.
Well, Quinn is gonna marry the

74
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:26,520
Apple guy.
At least until her baby daddy

75
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,640
throws him at the dumpster.
The.

76
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,640
Saw.
The saw the.

77
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,320
Saw.
Which apparently he's been

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,800
called this whole time.
No.

79
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,640
Glee wiki said that that's Mark
Salling's nickname.

80
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,000
Yeah, documentary.
Not a documentary.

81
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,640
Well, in times, Glee is not a
documentary.

82
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,960
Who has an Olivier Award?
Oh yes, it's true.

83
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Not.
Not Lea Michele.

84
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,560
That's right.
That's actually bonkers that

85
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,160
Amber Riley has literally won
the equivalent of a Tony of 1

86
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,520
Dancing With the Stars and 1 The
Masked Singer.

87
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,240
Yeah.
What has Lea Michele done, I

88
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:12,280
guess.
She did a hot takeover of Fun

89
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,720
Girl.
That was it.

90
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Yeah, that was.
It she racially abused a cast

91
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,600
member.
Got cancelled.

92
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,560
Yeah, you.
Still can't read?

93
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:31,040
No, she's had a baby.
OK, that's the thing people do.

94
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,360
But this storyline kind of
concludes with the diva off

95
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:48,440
voting with the entire everybody
who's in the Glee club, or at

96
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,040
least in the choir room, because
some people, you know, have

97
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,400
graduated.
The writer turns to Jake, and

98
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,280
it's like, who are you voting
for?

99
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,640
And Jake goes, one is black and
one is Jewish.

100
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,360
This is so hard.
Classically joke.

101
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,240
As soon as the voting concludes,
they both walk in and they're

102
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,080
like, we've decided that making
you vote is like unproductive

103
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,800
and like narcissistic.
And I was like, you just

104
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,840
realized that.
Figured that out.

105
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,280
You could have spared us the
song.

106
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,760
You could have spared us half
this episode, yeah.

107
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:33,400
And then shoe goes well they did
decide and you are equally

108
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,200
talented in their eyes and mine.
But.

109
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,840
No one vote for Kurt.
I was.

110
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,840
Gonna say and fuck.
You, Kurt.

111
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:43,560
I I remember.
That's what I wanted to happen.

112
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,800
So I remember a post going
around like when the episode

113
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,080
aired and someone saying that,
like, they counted how many

114
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,240
people could have voted.
And it was an uneven number of

115
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,240
people.
So somebody either abstained or

116
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,680
voted for Kurt because there
would not have been an equal

117
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,440
split of the votes between
Rachel and Mercedes, I mean.

118
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,880
Maybe Blaine was like fixing his
hair in the bathroom or

119
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,160
something.
No, Blaine voted for Kurt.

120
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Obviously that's what I'm
saying.

121
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,160
Like since it was like uneven
maybe, Maybe Kurt got no votes

122
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,440
because Blaine wasn't in the
room.

123
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,360
When they oh, there we go, of
course.

124
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,000
So I just wanted to present that
nugget of information that is

125
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,800
just truth.
The part that got me was after

126
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,760
as cruel as Santana has been and
like, is Santana a nice person

127
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,120
by nature?
Like, not really, no.

128
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,360
And she's never been nice to
Rachel.

129
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,320
But her fucking vote is Rachel
Berry, the real Fanny Price.

130
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,720
Like what?
What in the retcon is this?

131
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,640
Also, it doesn't matter who the
real Fanny Bryce is, this is an

132
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,080
Alphaba song.
This is not a Fanny Bryce song.

133
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,680
Excuse me?
This is an Alphaba Thropp song.

134
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,440
I don't understand.
Like I just I it was it was so

135
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,040
back and forth.
It was just the whiplash was in

136
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,000
immense and I don't understand
it.

137
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,600
I don't care for it.
'Cause you know, why put a

138
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,640
coherent episode together.
'Cause it's Glee.

139
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Yeah, but it's Glee.
But it's Glee.

140
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,640
But it's Glee.
Well, they do have a final song,

141
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,880
but it we're not at the end of
the episode yet.

142
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,320
Yeah.
I think, I think it's at this

143
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,000
point we have to kind of talk
about the, about the April

144
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,320
Rhodes of the, of the thing.
We're gonna talk about the, you

145
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,800
know, the.
April Rhodes in the room before

146
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,600
Santana and Brittany.
Let's talk about Santana and

147
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,520
Brittany.
That's like shorter.

148
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,520
I guess talk about Brittana
because my favorite part of Glee

149
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,480
has come back now twice in this
episode.

150
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:41,760
Brittana and I'm obsessed.
Well, I mean Britannia always.

151
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,240
But no, we can skank Kurt and
the the beloved Britney as

152
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Pierce brings back the world's
best YouTube talk show, Fondue

153
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,600
for Two.
Fondue for two.

154
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,360
Did you say?
Skank, Kurt.

155
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,120
She did say St.
Gank Kurt.

156
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,080
Not sorry Skank Quinn Skank Kurt
lives in my heart and I did just

157
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,360
put a skank Kurt skank blade
skank Kurt like punk plane in my

158
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,640
Tumblr queue so.
She's.

159
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,920
Living in there at all times.
Yes, there all the time.

160
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,600
I've seen.
Sorry, Nick, I've seen that

161
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:11,960
many.
Yep.

162
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,200
Britney is still on her genius
kick because we just live in

163
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:25,480
that world now and she now
always does math all the time

164
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,560
because that's how being a
genius works.

165
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:32,120
So Santa Anna catches her doing
math equations on a blackboard

166
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,800
in one of the rooms because she
can't, I guess, turn it off.

167
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,440
But she seems to want her old
life back as well because she

168
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,520
misses it.
It's a bit confused, like does

169
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,800
she like being at MIT?
No.

170
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840
Doesn't seem like she, it
doesn't seem like she does, but

171
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,560
it seems like a compulsion or
like now she feels like she has

172
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:00,200
a purpose.
But the way they were talking

173
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,120
about math versus dance and how
she was doing like the well I

174
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:10,640
was like damn girls only Sith
deal in absolutes like you, you

175
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,200
have two hands, you are
bisexual.

176
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,680
Right you.
Can also be like.

177
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,440
A math dancer.
A math dancer, well, she was

178
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,960
even like I was like 116th of a
second off in the course or

179
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,080
something like that.
And I was like literally only

180
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,720
first of all, only you noticed.
Secondly, 116th of a second.

181
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,280
What, She doesn't catch that?
What are you doing and what are

182
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:43,000
you doing?
But this does lead to the least

183
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,960
reinvented performance.
The the reunification of the

184
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,760
Holy Trinity.
Well, no, I forgot about toxic.

185
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,840
I was going to talk about
Valerie, but let's talk about

186
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,360
no.
Toxic comes first.

187
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,120
We let's.
Talk about let's talk about

188
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,120
toxic.
Britney, Quinn and Santana in a

189
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,800
a dual performance one in the
choir room in their Cheerios

190
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,080
uniforms but also location
unknown.

191
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:19,680
Probably the auditorium in like
a a full set cellblock tango

192
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,960
bustier.
Very cellblock tango.

193
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,560
Situation.
That was just for the audience.

194
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,400
That was for the audience.
I think that was just for us.

195
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,040
That was just specially built
for us.

196
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Watching now almost like 9 years
later.

197
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:41,680
Oh my God.
I enjoyed it I I enjoyed not

198
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:48,240
having shoe singing on Toxic.
It was nice to see them together

199
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,640
'cause it's like they were so
fun doing the original Holy

200
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,760
Trinity performances in the
first place.

201
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,440
Yeah.
That it's like that little spark

202
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800
of old Glee and you're like, Oh
yeah, I did like watching this

203
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,640
show sometimes.
I mean, not to be like a huge

204
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520
lesbian, but that was the best
performance I've seen all

205
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,760
season.
Like.

206
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,320
It was incredible, choreography,
outfits, vibes, singing.

207
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,560
It was.
For it was for us.

208
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,360
Concept.
I love that they got two whole

209
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,960
sets.
They did.

210
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:26,000
And you know, I, I, I was just,
I'm sitting and watching going

211
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,360
like, yeah, OK, I'm on board.
Sounds, sounds great.

212
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,320
I'm, I'm here.
Let's go.

213
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,640
Let's.
Yeah, I'm on board.

214
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:35,320
Thank you.
Complaints.

215
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,840
I definitely.
Thought that going vented but

216
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,400
like.
I thought they were going a

217
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,840
different direction because I
think like at the beginning it's

218
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,840
one of the two of them.
It's like, let's, you know, put

219
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,320
back together our favorite
threesome and I'm like, are you

220
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,920
guys gonna like, are you fucking
on main now?

221
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Like, is that what's going on?
Not with Biff around.

222
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,680
Not with Biff around.
Santana and Quinn hooked up

223
00:12:57,680 --> 00:12:58,840
once, right?
Yeah.

224
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,920
Which in show in Showtime would
only be three to four months

225
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,840
ago.
Yeah, it was literally

226
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,320
Valentine's Day.
Yeah, Yep.

227
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,880
So that's in the background of
her getting back together with

228
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,480
Puck.
Yeah.

229
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,240
And in the background of Britney
and Santana kind of sort of

230
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,680
getting back together, the Danny
of it all background.

231
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,880
Of her dating biff.
Yeah.

232
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,400
Did she have a sexual awakening?
And they go no, no, no, no, no,

233
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,920
no, no, I can't actually be a
lesbian.

234
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,360
I must.
Like Can you imagine?

235
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:32,560
Compulsive heterosexuality?
Yeah, can.

236
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,520
You.
Can you imagine going from

237
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,880
Santana Lopez to Biff
Mackintosh?

238
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,720
Like the swing there is intense.
Like regardless of gender, like

239
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760
regardless of gender, regardless
of sex, regardless of sexuality.

240
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,560
Like the the amount of
difference in a human person

241
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,960
between Santana, Lopez and Biff.
Just imagining Quinn sitting

242
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,360
there going like, all right, do
I want orgasms or money?

243
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Like I can have one or the
other.

244
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,840
Yes, you can have orgasms or
money.

245
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,040
That's the kicker.
Waitress who works at a singing

246
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,840
diner.
Apple Fortune.

247
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:17,040
I think she ends up with Puck
anyway.

248
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,440
And she ends up with puck like
oof downgrade.

249
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,520
Toxic was for us I she also
fondue.

250
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,600
For 2 was also for us.
Fondue for 2 was also for us.

251
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:35,320
I did also enjoy and we can cut
this out so it it like Biff

252
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,320
spends the entire performance of
toxic like texting on his phone

253
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,360
and AI remember making jokes of
like Oh my God he's sounding

254
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,200
Gossip Girl blasts.
But B, like after the

255
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,880
performance is over, somebody
points out and asks him what he

256
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,160
thinks about it.
That is what I'm talking about.

257
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,280
Kiddos, what do you think, Mr.
Preppy Mcdemple Butt Oh, I

258
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,800
thought it was very energetic.
Dude, you're texting the whole

259
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,560
time.
And she makes so many excuses

260
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,600
for him, like, you know, he's
very busy.

261
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,120
He's president of a of a secret
society.

262
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,840
And also captain of the water
polo team.

263
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,360
Oh.
My God, Yeah.

264
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,040
He's like so busy.
He's like, then maybe he

265
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,480
shouldn't have come to Ohio with
you.

266
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,000
Yeah.
Yeah.

267
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,160
That's not to not to be this
girl on Maine, but it's screams

268
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,000
compact.
It Yeah, it does.

269
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,600
It's just, it's wild.
Wow.

270
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,880
I also want to give a final
shout out to the fact that Quinn

271
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,720
curled her hair and put it in
little piggy tails for this

272
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,000
performance.
We're just it was 1. 3 minutes

273
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
just as one.
Performance.

274
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,800
It was like Beachy weaves
almost.

275
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,680
It was gorgeous, beautiful.
Yeah, gorgeous.

276
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:51,200
I.
Loved it.

277
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,440
I loved it.
Diana Agron can just, like, do

278
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,720
no wrong.
It's fine.

279
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,560
She could murder someone and I'd
still defend her.

280
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,120
Yeah, as much as I fucking hate
the Quinn storyline, I love that

281
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,880
this episode featured Quinn
because she deserves it.

282
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,880
Yes.
In the Brentana storyline,

283
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:16,120
though, they keep having these
like, very short scenes of math

284
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,760
versus creativity.
And then we get to the actual

285
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,120
least reinvented song ever,
Valerie.

286
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Which is where the best songs
Glee has?

287
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,800
Done it, did it, did they?
Were they?

288
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,800
They're just like, we don't need
to reinvent anything here.

289
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,680
Anything we do is like not going
to.

290
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,120
Yeah, maybe that's the problem
with having people vote on what

291
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,240
songs they want in the episode,
because I feel like they voted

292
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,200
for Valerie because it's
perfect.

293
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,920
Right.
So now Glee.

294
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,560
Has to get.
They should, that's true.

295
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,840
They should have had the pull
with only songs that needed

296
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,840
reinvention like.
Baby got bad.

297
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,840
Gold digger.
Yeah, all day bad.

298
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Any song that has Maddie fresh
on lead vocals.

299
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:07,319
Yeah.
Notice he was not featured in

300
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:08,319
these songs.
Not at all.

301
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,119
Notice that.
Notice that Santana called it

302
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,400
out in the first fucking scene.
OK, yeah, thank you.

303
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,800
Thank God.
Thank you Santana.

304
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,359
You all cheer now, but wait
until he starts rapping.

305
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,079
Exactly.
I do think there's one Glee club

306
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:26,599
member who could have done
Valerie justice, and that's

307
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,480
Blaine Anderson.
I would have loved to see it.

308
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:32,960
He like when he did.
I'm not going to teach your

309
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,200
girlfriend how to dance with you
like he could.

310
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,840
He could make Valerie work, but
we didn't need that and I'm glad

311
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,720
Santana just resang it.
But yeah.

312
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,200
Yeah.
It was like the same

313
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,240
choreography, same dancers.
Same.

314
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,640
Everything, yeah.
That Mike came up like, I'm not

315
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,400
mad about it.
Yeah, Valerie is perfect.

316
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,280
Oh, the thing about it for me
was that she like introduced

317
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,640
Valerie as a dance duet with me
and Britney, and then Britney

318
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,120
doesn't show up until half of
the song and it's just the Mike

319
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:03,200
Chang dance hour, which I love.
But like, it was the Mike Chang

320
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,320
dance hour.
I know.

321
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,880
So I as always am salty that all
these other little couples are

322
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,920
dancing and just like over in
the back with the chairs green

323
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,600
blade are like.
Like just like.

324
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,720
A little jive like you can't
even fucking.

325
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,200
Like the little shoulder shimmy,
just.

326
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,400
A little shoulder shimmy like no
you couldn't 1 little spin want

327
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,680
just one spin in the background
for people nothing are we is it

328
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,720
just full no homo or were we
like?

329
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,120
There can only there's a set
amount of homo per episode and

330
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,480
they gave it to Brittany and
Santana this episode.

331
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,440
I genuinely think what happened.
I will say this was the moment

332
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,200
where I was like, God, I love
Mike Chan.

333
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,080
And then also, every once in a
while, I think about the amount

334
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,880
of incredibly talented
performers that were on this TV

335
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,120
show and how they were just
like, sidelined for Rachel and

336
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:59,440
Blaine.
And like as much as I love

337
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,360
Blaine, like Jacob artist
graduated from Juilliard.

338
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,840
Yeah, and like he loved as much
as I love Mike Chang as much as

339
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,880
I love Mike Chang, because Mike
Chang, Mike Chang, Mike Chang.

340
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,480
If I could have had, you know,
it was Santana and Mike Chang, I

341
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,560
keep referring to him as Mike
Chang.

342
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,280
He's never just Mike.
It's always Mike Chang.

343
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,440
He's better than what he calls
himself in the show.

344
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,560
Yeah.
Asian.

345
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,160
Other Asian.
Yes.

346
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,680
I would have loved as Britney
gets up to dance that that that

347
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,120
the the new puck.
God, what's His?

348
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,400
What's his Jake, Jake, Jake.
If Jake comes up and dances with

349
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,800
her because those that those two
pairs could have matched.

350
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,560
Don't don't they?
He does get up at a certain

351
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,480
point and like they they do like
pair off, but I was like he's.

352
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,200
Kind of off to the side, yeah,
but yeah.

353
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,640
Like it should have been, like I
love AI, love a Mike Chang dance

354
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,480
hour, but I would have loved to
see a Jake Puckerman dance hour.

355
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,400
Actually, Kitty is a really good
dancer too.

356
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,000
And then like.
Kitty even there.

357
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,760
I don't think so.
Probably she didn't have a

358
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,360
single line this episode or.
Anything.

359
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:17,120
No.
I don't think Marley had a line.

360
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,720
No.
Sam had like one line about

361
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,120
being left-handed, so he's going
to write with his foot.

362
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,360
And then they showed that he
did.

363
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,880
Yeah, he's.
Not even left-handed is he.

364
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,760
No.
That's not yeah.

365
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,600
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, true, it doesn't.

366
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,560
Brittany and Santana have
another scene where they're

367
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:41,680
sitting and eating churros,
which why Alec?

368
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,960
Yeah, maybe.
And then Brittany's like, I'm

369
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,200
sure your girlfriend's fine, but
you'll never have what we had.

370
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,080
And I was like, yeah, because it
was fucking toxic.

371
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,480
Because you're fucking 12 years
old.

372
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,080
I honestly forgot that Santana
had a girlfriend.

373
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,400
God.
Because it's Demi Lovato, and

374
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,600
Demi Lovato already had her two
contractually obligated like

375
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,400
appearances.
And, and they just like

376
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,280
sometimes they would just be
sitting there and like, oh,

377
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,320
right, you're supposed to be her
girlfriend and we're not No,

378
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,520
they.
Didn't get to like show

379
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,360
affection.
No, because.

380
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:18,760
They kissed them one time.
Yeah, it was like a we got way

381
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,040
out.
Yeah, 1 little 1 little like

382
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,440
heck.
Exactly.

383
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,720
How's that?
Like a face just touched chins.

384
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,000
Yeah.
And then never again.

385
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,400
Which is so annoying because
both Demi and Naya are queer.

386
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,080
It's fine, whatever Glee hated
us the less the phobia of it

387
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,400
all.
They still hate us.

388
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,320
It's fine.
They still do, It's true.

389
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,720
But I'm pretty sure that's how
the Bretana stories like left

390
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,240
off well.
I mean, for once, Brittany says

391
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,960
some like really romantic shit.
Right.

392
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:54,560
I like that version of Brittany.
Yeah.

393
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,280
Yeah.
I mean she says this stuff about

394
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,560
like pure fanfic lines.
Like I, I feel like maybe I've

395
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,000
read these before if like you
make me feel like a girl again.

396
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,480
Which is interesting because
there hasn't been anything in

397
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,040
her storyline about not feeling
human, just that she feels like

398
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,280
she's been dedicated to math and
not dance.

399
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,680
So like, OK, but like, my body
wakes up.

400
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,400
That's more of the dance thing.
I appreciated that.

401
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:22,440
I really want to be with you,
Santana.

402
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,120
You can't recreate what you and
I have.

403
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,520
It's your choice.
Like, well, wait, you actually

404
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,640
haven't.
You haven't said anything yet

405
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:37,080
about wanting to be with her so
strongly and that it is her.

406
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,840
Like this line seems to come out
of nowhere.

407
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,120
Like where's the missing scene
of another conversation of them

408
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:47,280
being like, oh, maybe we should
get back together, but I can't

409
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,200
because I have a girlfriend or I
can't because I live in New York

410
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,560
or I can't because you're at
school.

411
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,840
Where's where's like the connect
from the weird adult chess thing

412
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,600
and dancing to we belong
together but we can't?

413
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,760
See, I would have loved more of
a deep dive into Brittany

414
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,800
because like, as I was watching
it, I was like, I feel like it

415
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,000
would have made a lot of sense
if they made some connections.

416
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Like Brittany is someone who all
her life, no one has had any

417
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,320
expectations of her because she
was pretty much deemed as like,

418
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:18,080
not very intelligent, not
someone you want to trust with a

419
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,920
lot.
And then suddenly she goes to

420
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,680
school and like people are
pointing her in a different

421
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,760
direction and being like, do
this, do this, do this.

422
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,960
And she's kind of like not
really sure how to make her own

423
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,920
decisions because she hasn't had
that expectation placed on her

424
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,040
before.
So she kind of wants to go back

425
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,320
to what's comfortable, but
instead we get 0 Britney

426
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,920
character development and just,
you know.

427
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,640
Yeah.
I want to dance, I want to do

428
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,680
math.
Santana date me again.

429
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,400
All I want to do is scissor you
and talk to my cat.

430
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:56,160
OK, that's right.
I mean like, all right, I get

431
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,400
it.
At least we're honest.

432
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,360
I just wanted more.
Yeah, they had, you know, it's

433
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:04,640
such a long standing
relationship in the show.

434
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,440
And then instead we spend 15
minutes with Rachel and

435
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,320
Mercedes.
Like, OK, but what about them

436
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,200
like.
Especially because they set it

437
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,200
up that, like Brittany at this
point, in a very fanfic kind of

438
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,160
way, puts it out on the line.
It's like, I want to be with you

439
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,640
and Santana's.
Like, I have worked so hard to

440
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,000
get over you and you just watch
Santana just crumble.

441
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,000
Because after all this time,
it's still Brittany.

442
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,040
Of course, it's still Brittany
in a very much like high school

443
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:47,160
soul mates kind of way that
works in comparison to to Quinn

444
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:52,480
and Puck, like for two people
who had like a very clandestine,

445
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,400
weird hidden secret high school
romance.

446
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,560
That like lasted a long time.
Yeah.

447
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,600
And I was like, I'm so much more
ready to like put my to put my

448
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,800
chips behind Brittany and
Santana in the way that they

449
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,960
actually like took this and
thought and have like have had

450
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,840
the time to think about it over
the last several years as

451
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,400
opposed to Quinn and Puck, who
like, don't get me wrong, like

452
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,160
Coolio, but like downgrade.
Well, but also think about the

453
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,320
fact that like they in the last
year of their relationship

454
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,480
didn't have any significant
issues until Santana moved away,

455
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,400
right?
And granted, that's because the

456
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,760
the like the writers just didn't
pay attention to them.

457
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,920
But compare that to some of the
other relationships that we saw

458
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,480
that did get attention, that
were like, the conflict didn't

459
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,520
usually come from outside
sources, it came from them.

460
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,640
Like Finn and Rachel were like
constantly fighting until they

461
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,160
weren't.
And even then stuff would always

462
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:07,840
pop up until it didn't.
And then Quinn and Puck also

463
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,720
like we're always fighting and
like we're not actually solid.

464
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,440
And then they weren't together.
Whereas Britney and Santana, a

465
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,040
lot of their conflict was
because of the clan destination

466
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:29,240
of their relationship or outside
sources being I am here in Ohio

467
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,960
and you are in Kentucky and,
like, we see each other, but you

468
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,880
have a college thing.
Like, you have a lot of other

469
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,440
things to focus on.
So you can't just focus on me

470
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,800
the way you would before.
Like, I feel like those are very

471
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,640
different relationships to,
like, get back to.

472
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,200
And it makes a lot more sense
for Britney and Santana because

473
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,880
they didn't have, like, granted,
I think it's because the writers

474
00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:05,760
just, like, didn't write them.
Yeah, but it's still, I hate

475
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,800
that I'm gonna use this word,
but it still feels a little more

476
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:14,880
realistic, a little, just a just
a little.

477
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,720
Remember how Santana went to
college for a little while?

478
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,320
For a minute, yeah.
For a semester.

479
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,280
It's OK guys.
In the timeline.

480
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,240
She stopped out.
She'll go back.

481
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,240
Maybe someday.
I'll never forget Nutbush, Cindy

482
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,320
laments.
So yes.

483
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,960
I do remember that that
cheerleading fit was so good.

484
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,160
That's one of the.
Best hunters they ever did.

485
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:38,840
I'm serious.
It really was.

486
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,160
Period, Yeah.
That justifies her going to

487
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,120
college even if true story.
Yep.

488
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,000
Exactly.
Could have redone that.

489
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,280
Yeah.
You can't you.

490
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,640
You can't improve on perfection.
They tried with Valerie.

491
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,000
No they didn't.
They did the exact same thing.

492
00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:57,840
So just have Santana come back
in and.

493
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,400
Truly.
Yeah, just wear the that uniform

494
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,920
again.
I'm sure she has it in the

495
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,520
closet still.
The one. 100 episode is just

496
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,840
Santana performances for an
hour.

497
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,320
Sounds great, I love it.
Oh, they could have gotten Grant

498
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,920
back for Smooth Criminal.
Was he too busy being the Flash

499
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,840
at this point?
I think so.

500
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,040
Yeah, he was.
Yeah, he did still come back for

501
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,840
something, didn't he?
For love, love, love.

502
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,240
Yeah, yeah.
He was still in the Warbler

503
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,920
performances this season.
You're right.

504
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,120
Good man.
OK, that's is that the Britannia

505
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:37,360
of it all?
Yep, and now I guess it's just

506
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:43,200
the Glee club getting cancelled.
Just such a nothing.

507
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,440
It's a nothing burger.
It's.

508
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,760
A nothing burger 100% it's.
Yeah, I mean, it's shovelled in

509
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:55,200
to like have a a purpose.
Like you've known the Glee club

510
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,320
has been cancelled because Sue
hates them, even though

511
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,360
sometimes she doesn't.
It kind of depends on her food.

512
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,960
But there's this clause of like,
you only have a club so long as

513
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,120
you have competitions to prepare
for.

514
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,800
Which is inherently not true,
but like, OK.

515
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:20,680
Well, Technic I feel like it is
though, because in season 1 they

516
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:26,200
lose regionals and then they get
told that the that the club is

517
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,960
cancelled and then Figgins is
like, you know what?

518
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,040
We're going to give you another
year.

519
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:38,440
And then in season 4 they get
disqualified from sectionals and

520
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,560
the Glee club is canceled for
like an episode.

521
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,440
And then clandestinely they're
going to come back and like

522
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,880
still meet and then they like
find out the warblers cheat.

523
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:58,040
So they're back in the running,
sure, but they like they have

524
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:04,160
lost nationals and they are like
trying to get the club back.

525
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,640
They have these two meetings
with Sue.

526
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,240
I say they it's Shoe and April.
And April, yeah.

527
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:18,520
And the first one is like April
basically telling Sue that like

528
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:24,040
she has money.
So you have to like, look at all

529
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,080
of the agreements and everything
and like, basically give the

530
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,480
Glee club, the auditorium back
because she's paying for it.

531
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,680
Yeah, she's the one who funded.
Yeah, she, I can't remember the

532
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,400
whole, Yeah, she founded the
April Rhodes McKinley High

533
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:46,600
Auditorium.
She like so early on or like

534
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,960
halfway through season 1, she
like was the mistress for some

535
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,320
of strip mall magnet or
something.

536
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,760
And he sure.
Yeah, of course.

537
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,280
That's what that's what you do
in Ohio.

538
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:06,600
He dies and the wife just pays
April off so that she won't say

539
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,320
anything.
And she donates.

540
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,640
She like buys the auditorium and
donates a shit ton of money so

541
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,680
that the Glee club won't have to
worry about funding.

542
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:24,680
And then in this episode we find
out that Shu spent 2 million

543
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,840
human American dollars.
Of course he did in less than

544
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,760
three years in this.
Economy 2 William Dollars.

545
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,320
Terribly surprised.
Hey, you know what?

546
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,960
At least they explained it.
At least they explained it.

547
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,240
I We have been watching this
show for five goddamn seasons

548
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,840
and we're like, huh?
Why do you need those costumes?

549
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,600
Huh?
Why do you need that set?

550
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,160
Huh?
Where did all those things come

551
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,200
from?
Here we go.

552
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:59,160
William Schuster spent 2,000,000
American dollars on nothing.

553
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:05,960
On nothing, on shit for himself.
And Emma wants to have a baby

554
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,920
with this man Good God.
Bad idea.

555
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:19,360
He is show choir spiders George
like the average choir director

556
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,840
does not spend $1,000,000 per
year.

557
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:30,040
He is an anomaly.
And then while Sue is like

558
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,080
reading through the financials
to basically say not only per

559
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,800
the rule that I gave you, like
or that was established of like

560
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,040
you having a room in the school
and like having a club, like

561
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,520
you're out because you are not
in competition.

562
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,040
You also are fucking broke.
So you do not have the

563
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,200
auditorium anymore.
And while she's giving this

564
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,800
feel, she also says that April
is under investigation from the

565
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,640
SEC.
I have here a line item budget

566
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,560
of the jungle set you
constructed on stage a few weeks

567
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,880
back so the Glee club could
perform a Katy Perry song

568
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,240
literally for just you.
Whoa, hold on, let me see that.

569
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,440
I don't know what the problem
is, but whatever money the Glee

570
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,600
club needs, I'm good for it.
April.

571
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,960
Rhodes is.
French No April Rhodes is under

572
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,840
indictment from the Security and
Exchange Commission and in

573
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,280
violation of her $3,000,000
bail.

574
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,600
That forbids her from.
Leaving the state of New York?

575
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Wait.
What, because all of her money

576
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,680
came from fucking Bernie Madoff
And I do not say like, oh, it

577
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,560
came from him.
Fucking derogate.

578
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,080
No, she physically fucked him,
according to the show.

579
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,040
I'm like, I need to tell you
that I, as a 17 year old

580
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,560
watching this show, did not know
what the SEC or who Bernie

581
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,440
Madoff was, but 28 year old me
had to pause it because I was

582
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,240
laughing so hard.
Yeah, so many of these jokes

583
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,680
went over my head.
Yeah, the fact that she was part

584
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:06,080
of a Ponzi scheme with Bernie
Madoff is like, insane and

585
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,760
really just a way to extend the,
like, trauma of the Glee club.

586
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:20,440
And so they walk out of Sue's
office and he's like, you gave

587
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,600
me the worst that you did, the
worst thing you possibly could

588
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,679
have done.
You gave me hope.

589
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,480
And she's like trying to
apologize while holding up an

590
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:33,000
open bejeweled flask.
Which she's had just on campus.

591
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,040
Yeah, the whole time.
Just normal, normal Glee club

592
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,679
behavior.
Well, she also brought a friend

593
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:45,360
to class at the very end to help
because we also we also bring in

594
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:52,199
Holly Holiday at the end of the
episode for guest star reasons.

595
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,560
For she is fucking Brad Falchuk
reasons.

596
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:02,240
Yes, that's it.
Yes, Gwyneth Paltrow does return

597
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:08,320
as Holly Holiday at the like
near the end after they do the

598
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,120
the diva off voting.
Yes.

599
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,880
And this is where we find out
that there's a Facebook page for

600
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,240
people who have guest starred in
the Glee club.

601
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,640
And then she's also like, oh, I
don't look in the rearview

602
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,800
mirror.
So she sings Happy, which is

603
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,720
another one of those moments
where a song set, like the Glee

604
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:31,080
club is set and now 2013 because
they're behind schedule.

605
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,600
But Happy comes out and like
October 2014, like the

606
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,760
timeline's now fucked up because
of the filming.

607
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,560
Outstanding.
So the song does not exist in

608
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,480
the time frame of the episode.
My God.

609
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,880
She wrote Pharrell's song.
She's the ghost writer.

610
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,520
She's Pharrell.
Holly Holiday is Pharrell.

611
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,920
Broken by fandom on the rocks.
Yeah, breaking news.

612
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:59,920
I also did skip this because I
lived through these years and I

613
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,760
didn't need to hear this song
again.

614
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,120
You didn't.
You didn't want to hear happy

615
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,480
again after it had been on the
radio non-stop for a year.

616
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,440
Happy would actually make me
sad.

617
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,320
If it if it's any consolation,
according to the to the things I

618
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,560
read in the funny papers, it
made Pharrell sad too.

619
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,360
In the funny papers, you didn't
want to clap along.

620
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,040
No, if happiness is something.
It's not for me, not.

621
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,800
For me.
So now, now she's there and

622
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:36,280
together.
OK, so at the very very end,

623
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Shuster takes OG Glee Club into
the auditorium where like back

624
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,840
stage, they've put up the plaque
of Finn and Lillian from the

625
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,080
choir room into the back of the
auditorium.

626
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,120
It's like almost it like the
like it's my gut reaction was

627
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,400
like, is that the stage managers
booth, but the stage it's.

628
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,840
In the wings, So it would be
with the ASMS, yeah.

629
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:05,440
Like that, that makes more sense
that like, they don't have a

630
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,800
view of the stage.
But yeah, no, it's just like

631
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,320
back there with their little,
little, little people.

632
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,200
And I think it's Artie who is
like, yeah, and no one's going

633
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,000
to know who they are.
Because like, you know.

634
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,680
Context is key.
Context is key.

635
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,480
They weren't theater people.
Yeah.

636
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:26,760
Right.
They weren't theater people,

637
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,560
like the auditorium is for
theater, not for the Glee club

638
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,360
anyway.
And she gives this whole speech

639
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,880
about thank you for going on
this ride with me, which I did

640
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,880
not know if that was a direct
call back to ride with me.

641
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,680
It was for us.
Pilot, but it was yeah, I was

642
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,760
like, that has to be about
anyway.

643
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:47,280
But that's when we see that
April and Holly are watching

644
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,520
from the rigging, which not
smart, but OK.

645
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,440
They're like up in the cats and
I'm like, do you know how hard

646
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,560
it is to get?
Do you know how hard it's going

647
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,720
to be to get back down after you
drank a whole Tumblr of wine?

648
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,120
Like they've been drunk the
whole episode.

649
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,800
I don't know one how they safely
got up there, but they're not.

650
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,520
And they're also like in heels
because they're women in ATV

651
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,880
show.
Yeah, oh, only Mercedes was

652
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,320
wearing pants because she weighs
more than 100 lbs, so she's not

653
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,720
allowed to be in a skirt.
Sue's got her track pants but

654
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:21,120
she's a lesbian so.
Yes, this is true.

655
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,480
I'm fixated on how none of the
girls in the show get to wear

656
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,960
pants.
No, not at all.

657
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,200
But they're the ones who are
like, we have to fix this.

658
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,080
Like the Glee club cannot end,
we have to fix it.

659
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,920
Wine 1st.
And that's when I remembered, oh

660
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,480
right, it's a two-part episode.
Why?

661
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:49,200
Because the other half has the
actual graduation.

662
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,320
I had completely forgotten about
the fucked up timeline and

663
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,040
everything else was like now
they actually have to graduate.

664
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,920
Shit, there's more.
The only thing I'm upset about

665
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:08,240
there is that Goop shows up so
close to the end because for

666
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:11,200
this particular episode at
least, we, we as a society

667
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,200
deserved more time with the
chaos duo that would be Holly

668
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,520
Holiday in April Rhodes.
Their chaos by itself is like so

669
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,680
annoying if you like actively
want these people to succeed,

670
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:29,800
but like together their chaos is
like so different that together

671
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:35,040
it would just be so chaotic.
They're both leaning towards

672
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,400
Chaotic Good, but boy oh boy is
it a lot.

673
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,640
Of the guest stars, I actually
kind of like Holly Holiday.

674
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,520
I'm just sad that Matt Bomer
wasn't fucking bred.

675
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,680
I'm just saying I needed all
three of those other members of

676
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,640
the Facebook group, Blaine's
brother, Rachel's mom and that

677
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,640
Mexican guy.
Yeah.

678
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,600
Yeah, he's, he's at the school.
He's just like I have class.

679
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:04,680
He's technically he's.
Still there.

680
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,720
Technically, Ricky Martin never
left the school.

681
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,840
He's just teaching Spanish class
now, like a, like a, like an

682
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,640
actual educator.
And what about the dentist?

683
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:20,120
Oh my God, no, no.
But he did like he was in here

684
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,160
and he gave them free cleanings.
He did.

685
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,520
Maybe.
Maybe Shuster doesn't want to

686
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,360
invite his.
Men.

687
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:32,280
His wife's ex lover.
Yeah.

688
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,600
He doesn't want he doesn't want
competition.

689
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,120
He.
Doesn't want competition because

690
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,200
we all know that John Stamos's
competition.

691
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,240
So is Matt Bomer, but.
Yes, but not for, not for Emma.

692
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:52,400
She doesn't need him well.
Is straight as far as we know.

693
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,160
Cooper is straight as far as we
know.

694
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,200
I mean like gay and otherwise,
but.

695
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,040
Yeah.
I was just gonna say the reason,

696
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,160
probably the reason Adina wasn't
there is 'cause she was in

697
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:06,000
rehearsals for IF then.
Well, as Rachel proved, you get

698
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,280
to take a week off of Broadway
rehearsals to.

699
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,800
Come to your also high school.
This also brings up the first

700
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,320
note that I made regarding the
Glee Club.

701
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:19,640
What is Quinn majoring in again?
Reggie didn't go back home for a

702
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,520
family funeral during his
freshman year of college because

703
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:28,680
he was like, in tech for a show.
But you're telling me that Yale

704
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,760
is fine with us with two
students just taking a week off

705
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:40,480
to go to high school, Glee club,
funeral, and then Yale's fine

706
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,960
with it?
Niata's fine with it.

707
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,920
Whatever school Mike is at is
fine with it.

708
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:50,680
All of the producers for
Mercedes's album are fine with

709
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,880
it.
And also like the entire

710
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,520
production team for Fanny Bryce
is fine with their lead and

711
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,720
their understudy.
Just like not being at

712
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:04,320
rehearsals for a week.
So the only part of that I will

713
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,760
put on my student affairs hat
and B please feel free to like

714
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,000
check me on this.
Generally speaking, colleges

715
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,080
don't give a shit.
You are you are paying.

716
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,040
You are paying for the privilege
of showing up to class.

717
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,320
If you don't show to class, that
is not their problem nor their

718
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,520
responsibility.
Like professors may give a shit

719
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,880
and give you zeros on
assignments and not like let you

720
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,000
make them up.
And like at my school they have

721
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,720
actually an Fe policy for
freshmen where if you don't

722
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:34,400
attend X number of days you get
you failed a class due to

723
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,120
excessive absences.
So you would need to weigh your

724
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,840
consequences, but yeah.
That's really smart too because

725
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,680
freshmen are notorious for
ditching 'cause they get

726
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,080
overwhelmed.
Peace out.

727
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,120
But no, colleges generally
speaking don't give a shit.

728
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,840
They don't care.
Individual people may care, and

729
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,320
that's probably why if you are
expected to be someplace like I

730
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:59,000
couldn't disappear for, you
know, two weeks around like big

731
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,720
sorority events because, you
know.

732
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,920
Or any other student
involvement, anything.

733
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,240
And The thing is if you're
trying to have a rich college

734
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:07,520
experience.
Yes.

735
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,680
And that you're not going to
just be going to class.

736
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,480
And that's the thing, is that
these people who are able to

737
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,040
leave in the middle of stuff
aren't really having a rich

738
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,320
college experience necessarily,
which is maybe why they're so

739
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,720
high school.
I don't know.

740
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,560
I forget that people did stuff
in college other than going to

741
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,680
class.
Yeah, a lot of stuff actually.

742
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:28,280
I didn't.
Not me.

743
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,920
I did so much stuff that I
actively handed.

744
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,680
I actively like handed
assignments in late.

745
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,040
This is the introverts versus
extroverts.

746
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,040
Mandy, did you know they had
other stuff on campus besides?

747
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,440
Class I know they had a
Starbucks that I went to and sat

748
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,240
at with headphones in.
Yeah.

749
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,160
That was, that was it.
I had and.

750
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,680
The gym.
The food place.

751
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,000
I had.
The food place, the coffee

752
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,200
place, and then.
I had activities that made me do

753
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,360
other activities.
Yes.

754
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:07,480
How many philanthropy events
that you couldn't just show up

755
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,720
at you?
Didn't even know about.

756
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,800
Absolutely.
Yeah, no.

757
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,640
It's it's very it's it Mandy,
you're completely right.

758
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,160
It's the introverse is the
extrovert like but all of.

759
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,480
These, but all of these people
would be extroverts.

760
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,160
You would think, I don't know, I
don't know how.

761
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,400
The one that gets me is the
Fanny brace.

762
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:32,360
Like, how is your if you're in
rehearsal where they've actually

763
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,880
cast your lead and your
understudy you?

764
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,600
Are running top of the call
sheet.

765
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:38,880
You're the top of the call
sheet.

766
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,920
Like you're running shows every
fucking day.

767
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,240
Like what are you doing?
And both of those women have

768
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:45,560
jobs.
They're both on the roster for

769
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,120
the for the diner.
So it's Kurt.

770
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,600
So it's like.
What did did?

771
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:56,440
Did Isabel write OK this?
That diner is missing 3

772
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,080
employees.
Oh my God.

773
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,000
In the same.
Apartment.

774
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,240
That lot, well fucking apartment
is empty.

775
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:06,120
It's.
Empty.

776
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,640
Do you think Elliot is is house
sitting for them?

777
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:16,840
I'm cooking Curry in Rachel's
house just for fun.

778
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,680
I can't.
Well, maybe some of these

779
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,080
questions will get answered in
the second episode.

780
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:24,600
I doubt it.
But you know they won't.

781
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,560
Time maybe we could wrap up on
this one if that's cool with you

782
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,280
guys.
The funny thing is that we said

783
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,000
that we were gonna, yeah, we
said we were gonna say if like

784
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,760
the reimagined ones were better
than the others, than the

785
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,320
originals.
And then we only did that for

786
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,880
Raise your Glass.
So we can do that now.

787
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,280
Let's do it as our exit poll.
Yeah, OK, Raise your glass.

788
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,360
Better or worse?
Worse.

789
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,200
Worse.
Solid toxic, better or worse?

790
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,840
Better.
Different you like the.

791
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,120
Maddie Fresh.
Version.

792
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,560
I do like the Maddie Fresh
version.

793
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,720
Wait, so who can kick Allison
off?

794
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:11,320
Allison can't come back.
The host And this is how we get

795
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,320
divorced.
Our first and last five host

796
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:20,320
episode.
That's fine, all opinions are

797
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,760
valid.
All opinions are opinions.

798
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,360
Opinions are opinions.
OK, well, we'll let you have it.

799
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,800
Thank you.
Define gravity.

800
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,680
Thumbs up, Thumbs down better.
I don't have hands.

801
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,120
I I don't care.
Yeah, yeah, they're, they're

802
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,600
different.
I find them equally unpleasant.

803
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,080
I'm going to say.
Worse than the studio recorded

804
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,920
version where we actually got to
hear Kurt sing it well.

805
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:48,640
True story.
We got.

806
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,600
To agree on aired versions.
Yeah, I agree with that.

807
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:56,960
Spotify version is deferred.
You are correct Valerie.

808
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,040
Exactly the same.
Same actually.

809
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,680
It's it's.
A little different.

810
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,800
It's a little different because
Britney does sing a little bit

811
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,440
in this one.
Yeah, she does.

812
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,480
She has line like her solo
lines.

813
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:12,240
Yeah.
So I'm not going to call it

814
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,720
better, but I am going to call
it positively different.

815
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:15,400
I would.
I would.

816
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,120
I would.
Click.

817
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,520
It's like it's improved, but not
by a lot, yeah.

818
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,960
I like the Britney sings.
I like that for her.

819
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,960
Yeah, keep holding on.
Worse.

820
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,000
Worse.
Worse.

821
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:34,200
So much worse.
And I guess is the addition of

822
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,480
happy.
Worse.

823
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,160
Worse.
Worse, worse.

824
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,640
It made everything worse.
Because it's a bad song, Yes.

825
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:48,840
Yeah, Holly Holiday gets a lot
of shit for the song.

826
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,680
The Adele song she sings in her
the episode that everybody

827
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,120
hates.
Turning tables.

828
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,480
Turning tables.
I kind of like it.

829
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,360
So that's my Glee.
Bad opinion is I like her

830
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:02,640
version I.
Like it too?

831
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:08,800
So.
So I guess the consensus is meh,

832
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,080
we didn't need any of these
songs.

833
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,680
But thank you, Glee.
Yes.

834
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,000
Except for toxic, we needed
that.

835
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:33,120
Thank you.
I'm addicted to you.

836
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:41,240
Did you know that you're toxic?
Except for toxic, none of us are

837
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:44,200
immune to propaganda or
nostalgia.

838
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,360
But in this case, your nostalgia
bait did not.

839
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,520
It didn't work.
It got me to tune in, but I was

840
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,880
going to do that anyway.
Yeah, I guess in Season 5 I was

841
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,200
still like, watching, although
begrudgingly.

842
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,400
I was clocked in doing my pre
leapy.

843
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:12,440
Do you have any favorite lines?
Actually, yeah, I liked the the

844
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,440
one thing this country needs is
more teen marriage.

845
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,880
That's just like so much
foreshadowing for the end of the

846
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,120
series.
You're right, that is a good

847
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:27,400
line.
I put any context in 2012, in

848
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:32,640
2014, yeah, right when, like,
The Secret Life of an American

849
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:38,520
teenager was still on the air.
Something else I didn't watch?

850
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,360
Mine is because apparently the
only song we're allowed to sing

851
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,000
in a diva off is Defying
Gravity.

852
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:45,600
Yes.
Good point.

853
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,760
I didn't write any lines down
this time so I don't.

854
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,440
I'm going to steal Mandy's.
We can share it.

855
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,560
Great.
Well, a marriage is between

856
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,240
several people, so.
True.

857
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,920
You have to share the line.
Yeah, I'm just putting into

858
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,920
everybody's marriage.
Technically you did win my

859
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,040
marriage, so yes.
That's true.

860
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,560
We played a game.
I had written down the teen

861
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,280
marriage line, so the only other
one I have written down is when

862
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:19,480
Santana says to the Apple guy.
Word on the street is that your

863
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,200
old money?
I'm a lesbian but totally into

864
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:23,920
that.
I.

865
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,040
Just thought that was very yeah,
great Santana line.

866
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:33,920
That is really great, Santana.
Mine is when Santana walks into

867
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,080
the choir room and she says I'm
actually hijacking this Glee

868
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,120
club to hold what is basically
an intervention.

869
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,040
Yeah, she does.
I like sometimes when she

870
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,320
lampshades her own character.
Yeah, she does hear of like, I'm

871
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,320
gonna, I'm going to rant, like,
all right, OK.

872
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,960
I'll allow it.
OK.

873
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,920
Well, thank you Glee for 100
episodes.

874
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,520
Which you?
Couldn't even get through the

875
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,680
phrase.
Which does mean that more or

876
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,840
less, there's been 100 episodes
of Glee on the rocks, more or

877
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,120
less.
More or less.

878
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,240
OK well that is the 100th
episode.

879
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:12,200
Apparently it's a 2 parter so
stay tuned for Part 2 where

880
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,840
everyone graduates I think is
what happens right?

881
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,680
Yep, we get another rendition of
Loser Like Me that is like

882
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,080
significantly more depressing.
And for whatever reason, I did

883
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,800
purchase it on iTunes.
Cool, nice do.

884
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,280
You like the?
Acoustic version.

885
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,720
Acoustic graduation version.
My God, it's so, it's so bad,

886
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:42,320
but it doesn't have Rachel.
That's why we that's why we do

887
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:43,640
those things.
Indeed.

888
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,840
All right, well, who knows how
long this is.

889
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,320
It's gonna be long.
Sorry about that editor on the

890
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,600
line, but that's on you now.
Yeah, it is.

891
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,400
I guess you can find us at
Phantom on the rocks.

892
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,520
At this point, you should know
how to do that.

893
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,920
So like, why bother?
And then I guess we'll catch you

894
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:08,880
next time for 101.
And that's what you missed on

895
00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:12,520
Biff.
That's what you missed on Gossip

896
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,800
Girl.
On Gossip Girl.

897
00:52:14,240 --> 00:52:17,760
There we go.
XOXO.

898
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,360
XOXO Glee on the rocks.
