Glee on the Rocks: 5x13 - "New Directions" All Over Again

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,560
The da da ISM of this episode of
Glee is just obscene.

2
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,160
You're listening to Glee on the
Rocks.

3
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,280
Welcome back to Glee on the
Rocks, a Phantom on the Rocks

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,800
podcast.
I am Emily.

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,320
I am MAF.
I'm Mandy.

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,200
I'm Bee.
I'm Adriana and I'm Allison.

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,520
And this is absolutely everyone
on the podcast all at once

8
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,560
together.
Everyone that's ever been

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,560
associated with the podcast.
Like the Brain Bunch?

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,960
Everyone, everywhere, all at
once.

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,480
Well, because isn't this?
Isn't this the Glee finale?

12
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,360
This is.
This is the the Glee finale over

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,680
done.
They filmed it, not us, didn't

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,760
they?
And then they kept going for

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,280
reasons that we'll discuss.
I guess at some point they

16
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:10,720
should have stopped.
This will be so many, not even.

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,160
Well, actually, yes, I was like,
well, yes, because I remember, I

18
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,080
remember being a wee little high
school child being like, Oh my

19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,640
God, Glee is my everything.
And then at the end of season 4,

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,800
they got a two season renewal.
So they knew they were so

21
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,560
actually, that's the point
against them.

22
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,640
They knew that they were going
to keep going.

23
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,680
And then they still shot this.
They still wrote and shot this

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,680
in the way that they did.
Are you saying that they're bad

25
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,760
at plotting their show?
I said no such thing.

26
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,240
I'll say if you deferred that.
I'll say it, they're bad at

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,640
plotting their show.
I'm not saying it's bad, I'm

28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,240
saying it could have been
better.

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,320
I'm saying it's bad.
I'm saying they also knew they

30
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,720
still had at least another
season and they decided to write

31
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,800
this in the way that they did.
They did.

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,560
There's 20 episodes in season 5
and this is number 13.

33
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,960
This is the one.
Where I don't remember anything

34
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,440
that happens after this, I
didn't.

35
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:18,880
Remember.
Anything that happened in this

36
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,720
except.
One thing you remember after

37
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,480
this blame is turned on by
birds.

38
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,840
I'll never forget that one.
OK.

39
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,360
Before we get into it, this is
season 5 episode 13 New

40
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,040
Directions because they finally
had to title an episode New

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,440
Directions.
The rundown is help sometimes

42
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,280
comes from the most unlikely of
sources.

43
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,920
Sure, who wrote that?
Hulu wrote that.

44
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,320
Thank you, Hulu.
Somebody who?

45
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,120
Wrote that.
Hulu should get like sub like

46
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,400
notification, not sub
notifications.

47
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,360
That's the wrong word.
Should.

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,640
Be subtweet Hulu because we can
do that.

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,800
No, I was just going to say you
should add them to like the

50
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,160
listing.
So it's like, hi, I'm Emily, hi,

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,160
I'm Mev.
We also like Hi also Hulu as

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,000
part of this podcast Angry.
Wiki I'm.

53
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,080
Hulu.
If Hulu wants to like fund this

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,360
podcast, they are more than
welcome to.

55
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,560
We will.
We can have a little Hulu icon

56
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,600
at the bottom if they would like
to be patrons of our little

57
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,160
shindig.
That is fine by me.

58
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,720
We can subscribe to Corporate
Overlords for.

59
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,520
Hulu is already doing excellent
work in my current fandom, so I

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,960
am all on board with our Hulu
overlords.

61
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,880
I'm just saying that the
cinematic universe comes full

62
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:42,200
circle because Chimney Han is in
fact played by Terri Schuster's

63
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,240
obstetrician.
Yeah.

64
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,080
I need to leave.
So it's horrifying.

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,840
Everything comes back to Ryan
Murphy, for better, for worse.

66
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,720
It really does.
Yeah, it's bad, and so is this

67
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,520
episode.
And so is this episode.

68
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,440
Frankly, I didn't think it was
that bad.

69
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,320
I the end, the end got me misty
eyed.

70
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,960
It did it.
Got you.

71
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,120
It got me.
It was supposed to get me.

72
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,680
It was attempting to reward me
for having suffered 5 1/2

73
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,760
seasons of this and it it didn't
feel rewarding, but I can

74
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,800
appreciate the effort.
So like we said in the part that

75
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,160
we didn't record, this is a
continuation of five 12100,

76
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,000
which is the 100th episode of
Glee.

77
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,880
This is now the 100th and a half
episode of Glee, and it's just a

78
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,400
straight continuation of the
last episode where the Glee club

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,000
has been cancelled.
Sue has won, Glee is over.

80
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,440
They are cleaning out the choir
room.

81
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,640
And now we are dealing with the
fallout of that in this episode

82
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680
and, like, really wrapping it
up.

83
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,800
We are wrapping up the Glee
club.

84
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,560
We're wrapping up some
storylines, honestly.

85
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,680
And it really feels like we're
wrapping up the show, but we're

86
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,960
not.
Yeah.

87
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,760
It would have been.
Satisfying if that had been the

88
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,000
wrap up for some of the OG
characters.

89
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Yeah, it would.
Have and if you stopped watching

90
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,200
at season 5, it was I didn't see
season 6.

91
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,480
If you didn't, if you did not
watch season 6, then this is the

92
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,920
last time we see puck.
This is the last time we see

93
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,600
Quinn.
This is realistically the last

94
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,120
time we see Becky.
I think there's.

95
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,400
It's the last time we see
Marley, isn't it?

96
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,840
This is.
Actually this is.

97
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,240
Actually.
Definitively the last time we

98
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,240
see Marley and the last time we
see any of the newbies actually,

99
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:56,800
except Kitty and Unique.
Oh, OK, so Jake and Jake and

100
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,920
Ryder are both out, Yeah.
Oh, it says it's the last

101
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,280
episode of April Rhodes and
Holly Holiday too.

102
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Oh, that would make sense too.
I was thinking of the adults

103
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,280
that come back later this
season, but the two of them

104
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:11,840
don't come back at all.
Which?

105
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,280
It's a lot.
There's a lot of like, this is

106
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,520
the, this is what they're doing
with the rest of their lives.

107
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,200
This is how they're continuing
on at the end of the show.

108
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,480
Like there's a montage at the
end of like the video that they

109
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,240
record for Will Shuster.
And it's like this is what we're

110
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:33,600
doing 10 years from now as it's
the end and yet it's not.

111
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,160
And they knew it wasn't.
Yeah.

112
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,000
Like.
We said, I think that's the

113
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,880
biggest point is that it's not
like they were like, aha, we're

114
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,760
done, we've finished it.
And then the studio came back

115
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,120
and went, JK, do another one.
It's like, no, you planned that

116
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,320
question mark.
You were renewed for an extra

117
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,720
season and a half.
Like what?

118
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:58,720
What What are you doing?
Look at your life.

119
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,960
Look at your choices.
Yeah.

120
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,480
And I, I also think it's
interesting because I, I don't

121
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,680
know if this is a theory or if
this was like true, like we knew

122
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,520
this back then and I just forgot
about it 'cause it's been so

123
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,920
long where it just seems like
they wrote this not really

124
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,840
knowing what season 6 was going
to look like at all.

125
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,280
Because they knew that the back
half of season 5 was going to

126
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,000
be, you know, a little bit of a
time jump how everybody who is

127
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,200
in New York is doing in New
York.

128
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,480
And then like Funny Girl
opening, but I don't think they

129
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,040
knew what Season 6 was going to
be.

130
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,880
And so that's why we get these
farewells for all of these other

131
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,320
characters that they then bring
back anyway.

132
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:50,280
Yeah, I think we didn't or they
didn't know all New York, some

133
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:57,160
Ohio know like, yeah, they had
no idea if they were going to

134
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,720
keep a split narrative or not.
And.

135
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,200
I think they must have known the
split narrative wasn't working

136
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,320
because I think the plan
originally, well, I think

137
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,040
originally they were going to do
the split narrative because they

138
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,160
did that for most of season 4
and it didn't.

139
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,720
Work.
Does anyone remember the

140
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:20,320
timeline like the the non show
timeline, like the behind the

141
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,760
scenes timeline of when they
stopped talking about a spin off

142
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,840
because there was always
chatter.

143
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,400
And now my brain has completely
lost the like upfront

144
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,440
conversations about if there was
going to be a New York spinoff

145
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:40,000
because that was always behind
the scenes in in interviews and

146
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,200
in the upfronts, like the fox
upfronts of OH.

147
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,840
Maybe it's going to be there's a
renewal, but actually we're

148
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,520
going to keep Glee one point O
in Ohio and there's going to be

149
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,280
an all New York spinoff.
And then it's like they went and

150
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:01,600
mushed it together into back end
of five and season 6, but I

151
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,880
don't remember the timing
anymore.

152
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,680
I don't either, but I'm also now
really curious to be a family on

153
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,640
the wall to kind of go, OK,
makes sense why they would want

154
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,920
to have a New York spin off.
They had a lot of those names

155
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,200
for very household names at that
point.

156
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,920
So it's like, OK, we don't want
to let that go, but we can't

157
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:27,120
keep it going because the whole
name of this show is about being

158
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,960
like in high school Glee club.
OK, great, so then let's keep it

159
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,640
and then run them off.
I don't remember the timeline,

160
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,240
but it makes sense.
But I want to be the fly on the

161
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,520
wall.
It's like when they were like

162
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,760
pitching it and it got turned
down.

163
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,560
That's why they.
Switched everything together.

164
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,760
Don't forget Kurt.
Was going to Russia at one

165
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,640
point.
Right.

166
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,360
Kurt was going to Russia.
Russia.

167
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,520
My gut says it was like end of
season 4 when it was like most

168
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,280
likely to going to happen and
then it feels right.

169
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,200
I looked this up because I was
like, is what y'all are saying

170
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,160
what I think you're saying?
So they got renewed for 5:00 and

171
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,920
6:00 at the same time.
So I wonder if that was like, we

172
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,600
can't give you 2 shows, but
we'll give you 2 more seasons

173
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,840
like that's that's it.
So I wonder if it was like that

174
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,800
transition point between like
season 4, season 5 where it's

175
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,600
like maybe in season 4 they were
talking more about like, OK,

176
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,880
maybe we'll have a spin off.
And then when they got the two

177
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,160
season renewal, they were like
no spin off for sure.

178
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Especially because one it's
season 6 is half a season barely

179
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,120
and and season 5 was short
anyway and then the ratings were

180
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,720
not great.
Yeah, from what I remember,

181
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,480
season 5 was short because they
did take a little bit of a

182
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,960
filming break due to Corey's
passing where they were like

183
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,120
already scheduled to like they
were already like the locations

184
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,640
and everything were already done
and like set and scheduled for

185
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,840
the 1st 2 episodes, The Beatles
tributes.

186
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:05,400
But then they took a little
break in filming, but like to

187
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,040
film the quarterback and then
and so because they had more

188
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,120
time, that's why the episode
count was shorter.

189
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,600
But I don't know that they had
like a set count for what season

190
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,360
6 was going to be.
And then I think probably when

191
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,920
the when the ratings dipped even
lower than they had previously,

192
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:32,160
they're like, yeah, you're
getting 13 episodes and and like

193
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,520
a bag of pennies is your budget.
Because like not to relitigate a

194
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,800
10 year old argument, but if you
do think about it, if you split

195
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,720
the show into to Glee OG and
then New York, you build sets in

196
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,520
New York.
Like you take Glee New York to

197
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,280
New York and you don't try to
have shit sets on the back lot

198
00:11:54,280 --> 00:12:01,000
in Fox because the New York
section on the Fox back lot, it

199
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,800
just looks like you can tell
you're filming in LA.

200
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,760
And if you take the whole show
to New York to film, you at

201
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,040
least get a real New York vibe
because you can always tell when

202
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:21,440
they took like Leah and Chris to
New York for like a week to

203
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,400
fight outside and do that.
Because they actually did

204
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,120
outdoor shots.
And you'll see this more in the

205
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,840
next episode, New New York.
Because.

206
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:36,040
We because we have like fan
pictures of them shooting on

207
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,600
location.
But I think The thing is too,

208
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,920
that if you were then to have
two shows and one of them is in

209
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,600
New York, even if they're, I
also got into into this when I

210
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,840
was watching Suits and they did
A and then they did one episode

211
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,320
where they very clearly shot in
Chicago.

212
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,480
And I was like, yeah, because
this conversation could be

213
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,320
happening in an elevator.
And instead you're doing this on

214
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280
the Riverwalk to show me that
you're ancient.

215
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:05,200
Like, OK, but they're I.
But we paid.

216
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,720
Those fees, we're kind of
fucking.

217
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,640
Using they're like here's the
fucking and they never anyway.

218
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:15,120
And so and you can tell, but you
can also tell what they decided

219
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,360
to prioritize within the the New
York part of the show because

220
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:27,000
they stopped using like the two
Niata sets that they had after

221
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,200
the half point of season 4.
Yeah, like we're not really in

222
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,560
the dance classroom and we're
not really in like the the OK.

223
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,520
Well, she stopped going to
school.

224
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:40,080
So she, well, she stops going to
school, but Kurt doesn't.

225
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:47,640
Like, we have one or two scenes
in the dance classroom still to

226
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,920
come.
And they also minimize the

227
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:58,480
amount of Lima sets that we had
after that certain point as

228
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,800
well.
Like we barely ever saw

229
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,120
breadsticks anymore.
We don't really see anybody's

230
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,080
like houses anymore, even though
we used to have a lot of house

231
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,840
scenes.
RIP Blades Bedroom.

232
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,280
RIP Like the the Hummel Hudson
house.

233
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Oh yeah, like that interior
Hertz, like entire basement

234
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,000
bedroom scenario.
Boudoir.

235
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,760
The boudoir.
Those are sets are expensive.

236
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,720
They had what'd you say?
They had a bag of pennies.

237
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,840
They had a bag of pennies and a
dream.

238
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,200
I had a bag of pennies and a
dream.

239
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,680
Let's talk about the plot of
this episode.

240
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,320
I'm sorry, is there plot of this
episode?

241
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,240
Because it opens with our two
just drunken.

242
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Drunken ants.
Drunken ants they are just, they

243
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,000
fuck Mary, they're playing fuck
Mary Kale in the fucking like,

244
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,920
loud loud.
Will Schuster, Mr. Figgins, Brad

245
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,880
the Piano Player.
That's easy.

246
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,760
I bang Will Schuster marry
Figgins and push Brad the piano

247
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,400
player off a Cliff?
I just, I love them so much but

248
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,600
I don't understand why they're
still here.

249
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Why did they both want to kill
Brad?

250
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,040
That was that was the worst
part.

251
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,320
Like of the choices, why are
they both killing Brad?

252
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600
You marry Brad.
Yeah, he has.

253
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Consistent he's.
Consistent.

254
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,760
Talented.
He's snarky, he's always

255
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,080
prepared.
Knows every song on the planet.

256
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,080
All of the gossip, I think.
It's for me, it's the difference

257
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,520
between Holly wanting to fuck
Will Shuster once and April

258
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,160
Rhodes wanting to fuck him well
into her 60s.

259
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,880
And I just like ladies, the
ladies.

260
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,200
I think there are better options
out there for you.

261
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,520
I do.
I believe that there are better

262
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,120
options out there for you.
Stay strong.

263
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Like, even if you drive up a
little bit of North Alima, you

264
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,760
can find like another city in
Ohio, I promise.

265
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,440
But you know what?
For all the shit talking that

266
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,120
we're about to do about Will
Schuster, we forget that a

267
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,080
parent.
Should be extensive.

268
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,360
I'm so sorry to interrupt.
You.

269
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,080
No, you're.
Correct.

270
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,560
Need to emphasize that that
should be extensive.

271
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,120
Yes, thank you.
Please continue.

272
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,880
We somehow we've missed that
there is now a third drunk Ant

273
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,840
in this little threesome.
Sylvester, Light of my.

274
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,760
Life Sylvester just decides that
she is bestie friends 5 ever

275
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,480
with Holly Holiday.
I did like that part the the

276
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,680
little one.
So I forgot I was watching this

277
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,840
back and I like, I forgot that
they actually do get along in

278
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,320
like the when Holly Holiday
first comes on in season 2 and

279
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,200
now they're apparently
auditioning for The Amazing Race

280
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,280
together.
Naturally.

281
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,440
And yeah, I, I, I sure.
I have no words.

282
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,280
Sure.
Like sure.

283
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,640
OK, OK.
I kind of assume it's because

284
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,680
Gwyneth Paltrow was with the one
of the creators that it's like

285
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:13,839
she's not gonna get shit talked
to by Sue the entire time.

286
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:20,119
Well, that and like she's
friendly with them and she OK

287
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,960
Sue Eva.
OK, so the previous episode

288
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,119
ended with our drunken ants
being like we're drinking.

289
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,480
But these people like shoe needs
our help.

290
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,720
We need to try to get the Glee
club back for him.

291
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,240
So that's why we start the
episode with them wanting to

292
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,280
help.
And so they're in the staff

293
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,120
lounge basically honeypotting
their way so that they can like

294
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,640
talk sweet talk soup into
getting the Glee club back.

295
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,080
And she's like, and don't
forget, Miss April Rhodes is

296
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,560
pouring what I'm pretty sure is
a is a cancer giving amount of

297
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:02,400
Splenda onto a melon for I
honestly, it's just, it's just

298
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,680
business.
Just something to do with her

299
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,080
hands.
When it should be salt, you

300
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,080
should put salt on a melon, not
sugar.

301
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,560
I don't know.
I there were packets, there were

302
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,920
packets of powder that she was
pouring on a melon.

303
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:22,520
Just the the the the da da ISM
of this episode of Glee is just

304
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,160
obscene.
Yeah.

305
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,800
I don't understand, I don't
understand.

306
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,560
Because they're going to,
they're, they're going to

307
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:39,160
shoehorn music into the other
clubs to try to like, I guess

308
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,360
music, keep music alive in the
school for a week to get this

309
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:46,680
episode in.
Like really so that the rest of

310
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,560
the kids can like still have an
outlet even though they have no

311
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,640
other interests or talent, even
though they all already do.

312
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:59,360
Like if like like Jake is a
dancer, put him in the Cheerios

313
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,440
writers already a football
player unique.

314
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,840
It has her like fashion stuff
that she's into.

315
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,200
There's there's a.
Drama Club.

316
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,720
There's a drama club at the
school and she'd probably serve

317
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,560
better there than at any other
club or even in the Glee club.

318
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,160
And then Marley is like a
songwriter.

319
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Put her in a creative writing
club.

320
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,040
If they have, if they have an
animal husbandry club, they

321
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,720
definitely have a creative
writing club.

322
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,240
I said what I said.
They have an animal husbandry

323
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,720
club that all of the Glee club
is part of.

324
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,760
I I did have a logistics
question about all of this.

325
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,440
Like just to the show in
general, that graduating class

326
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,640
was so small.
How do they have enough students

327
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,640
to have?
All of them.

328
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,160
There were like 15 of.
Them tiny graduating class they

329
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,720
did.
This at the last graduation

330
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,440
team.
I will OK.

331
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,440
This is also a thing with like
how big is the school versus how

332
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,040
many kids graduate?
I'm saying there's a, there's a,

333
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,800
there's a thing we talk about in
higher Ed about the retention

334
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,840
rate and the four year and the
six year retention rate.

335
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,520
I'm saying it looks like the
Glee kids are the only ones at

336
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,760
that school who are graduating.
So and the band kids the Glee

337
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,840
club.
If Glee club is single handedly

338
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,000
holding up McKinley High's four
year graduation rate Glee club

339
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,480
and the Cheerios and Principal
Sue has done wrong, she has done

340
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,640
wrong.
Let's let's let's not just give

341
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,040
her all the blame though fans
was probably not doing as good

342
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,400
as she was.
Figgins was doing terribly.

343
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,080
But you know, if the only two
clubs that were holding up your

344
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,760
four year graduation rate are
like, you gave away the Cheerios

345
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,960
to Coach Ross and then you
killed the Glee club like girly

346
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,080
pop.
What are what what what are you

347
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,640
doing?
I personally think that they

348
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,680
recommend shoehorning music into
every single club so that Sue

349
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,280
Sylvester can confess her
undying love for Will Schuster.

350
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,000
That's my TV.
Which she continues to do all

351
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,280
episode long.
Like just didn't find a way to

352
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,360
include him.
Like that's my OT Sue.

353
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,960
She really does say that
actually.

354
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,920
And I was like, wow, she does
like the amount of love.

355
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,200
It's more one rare pair.
It is your one rare pair.

356
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:31,000
This is true Sue throughout this
whole episode is like, I know I

357
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,800
had to do this for reasons, but
Will Shuster, I love you.

358
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,720
So here you go.
It was, it was a very odd thing

359
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,760
to watch.
It really was how?

360
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,040
Where does it go from here
'cause it goes from them being

361
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,400
like, OK, that's.
Well, OK, we go to Tina.

362
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,640
It goes to Tina being rejected
from Ohio State.

363
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:51,120
From Ohio State.
OK.

364
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Oh, so Ohio State as a backup
school, kill yourself.

365
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,360
That's actually like a massive
school with a lot of programs.

366
00:21:58,360 --> 00:21:59,440
It's really hard to get into.
Yeah.

367
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,920
Like maybe she should have been
applying sooner?

368
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,320
Like it sounds like none of
these kids were applying to

369
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,120
college on the correct timeline.
No, absolutely not.

370
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:14,320
She's wait listed for Brown.
We got some new lore drop was

371
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,440
that she is adopted, which is
never mentioned in the entirety

372
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,960
of the show because it was a
dropped storyline from earlier

373
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,960
in the series.
It's in the the Wikipedia like

374
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,120
fax and whatever that the idea
of Tina being adopted, hence the

375
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:37,680
Cohen Chang is dropped.
It's it's meant to be in there

376
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,280
as like a through line that
she's adopted, but it's just

377
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,880
not.
I was today years old.

378
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,080
I just assumed that it was a
thing that they had like talked

379
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,440
about and I just forgot.
No, it's fandom known because

380
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,920
we've all been in the trenches
for 90 years.

381
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,040
It's not in the show.
It was.

382
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,120
It's not Canon if it's about
show.

383
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,680
It's not Canon if it's in an
interview, assholes.

384
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,280
It's not.
You have to put it in the show.

385
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,240
But it's Glee.
The wiki isn't Canon.

386
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,280
You have to.
Wiki's not Canon, you have to

387
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,480
put it.
In the but it's Glee.

388
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,760
But it's Glee, so the audience
is well into Season 5 when

389
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,920
you're like, oh, she's adopted.
Not that it matters other than

390
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,640
like, editing counts.
If you edit it out of the show

391
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,720
and then drop it in 60 years in
you're like oh oh fuck.

392
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,720
Which is why all of a sudden her
applying to like a Jewish

393
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,560
school.
You're like, is this racist?

394
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,840
Oh, she's adopt like I hate.
This show.

395
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Well I mean also not to be a
cynic, but like, that's not

396
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,560
really how adoption typically
works.

397
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,320
Like they let you keep your
birth last name hyphenated.

398
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,000
That's literally never happened
before.

399
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,240
Yeah, in the history of
adoption.

400
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,480
I'm sorry.
That's just not how that shit

401
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:51,800
goes.
Are.

402
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,120
You saying that Ryan Murphy
doesn't like research the

403
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:55,760
things?
Another thing that they never

404
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,560
even fucking bothered to Google
before they wrote it into their

405
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,720
show.
Oh, it gets it gets more absurd

406
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:07,560
because we move from got
rejected from Ohio State, but

407
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,760
wait listed for Brown, Tina
Cohen, Chang getting like hit

408
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,160
over the head with a trophy.
Yes, cause 'cause.

409
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,160
Like giving this girl brain
injuries.

410
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,520
The fun.
The amount of like trauma,

411
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,000
dreams this girl has had.
Allison, She's had more coma

412
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,880
dreams than 911.
That's not that's not

413
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,040
comforting, actually.
How many brain cells has Tina

414
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,040
Cohen, Shane?
All of them lost.

415
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:40,600
Too many.
Yeah, you know, so service of

416
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,080
what?
Like it's always truly about

417
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,240
other.
People's dreams and shit too if.

418
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,960
They if they had continued the
friends homage through the rest

419
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,040
of the episode and like
processed some like separation

420
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,240
trauma or whatever, then like
cool, amazing, sounds great.

421
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,160
It's the puppet episode.
It's the you know, it's the body

422
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,520
swap episode.
Fantastic.

423
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,000
But it ends like 2 minutes later
and it's just to give Tina the

424
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,200
the Rachel haircut.
It's just to give Lea Michele a

425
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,960
bad spray tan.
And it's just to watch curtain

426
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,040
Blaine make out.
It's nothing.

427
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,920
It's nothing naked.
It's Blaine, it's puffy hair.

428
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:20,880
It's the lamp shade that Sam is
always naked.

429
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:28,080
And that Blaine show is ableist
the way that that the show is

430
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:35,240
ableist because but arty like
rolls in and he's like 6 flights

431
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,760
of stairs is no joke at this
place should have an elevator

432
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,640
and someone's like it does.
And he's like now you tell me.

433
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,120
And then also lamp shading A
white woman spray tanning

434
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:47,080
herself into a different race in
2014.

435
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,040
Yeah.
Ariana Grande, you will not be

436
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,360
spared.
No.

437
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,240
Just this whole that was it.
It was 2 seconds and it just

438
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,360
like I wanted it.
Oh give me something like I love

439
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:05,240
the dadaism of it all, I love
the absurdity of it all, but it

440
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:11,160
just.
I was left unsatisfied, frankly.

441
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,600
Because it doesn't even tie into
her later concerns that that she

442
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,520
has no reason to move to New
York.

443
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,200
She has no plan.
She has no nothing.

444
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,240
The dream doesn't.
It doesn't highlight that she

445
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,800
has no plan because she has a
job in the dream.

446
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,520
She's working at what they call
it spotlight in the dream.

447
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,120
But like, people move to New
York without a plan all the

448
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:33,600
time.
Like so fucking what?

449
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,400
Your problem should be that you
have no money.

450
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,600
Will she wakes up?
She wakes up from the dream and

451
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,080
she's like, oh, being in New
York is going to be so great

452
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,680
because it's a fantasy.
It's a fantasy.

453
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:48,600
I hurt.
Elaine are dressed the same and

454
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,200
and Blaine has better hair.
And I do love that, you know,

455
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,440
because Tina comes in before she
gets hit to talk to everyone

456
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,240
about, you know, the trophies
packing up.

457
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,840
And she's like, you know,
Curtain blade have news.

458
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,520
And Sam's like, you're adopting
Russian twin babies.

459
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,160
And it's like, where did that
come from?

460
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,600
I don't understand.
What do you think?

461
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,880
I don't think that was a little
like thing to Kurt go Chris

462
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,880
going to Russia.
I think that was like a comment

463
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,960
on the whole Chris going to
Russia.

464
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:26,080
Maybe, And then apparently
Blaine's got into Niata when we

465
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,200
didn't know he was applying or
auditioning.

466
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,200
Remember in season 4 we had like
1000 episodes of Kurt and Rachel

467
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,360
auditioning for Niata.
I would have.

468
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:36,120
And this one we just got moving
out.

469
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,560
What was his song?
Are you telling me that you

470
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,480
didn't want to see Blaine
Anderson sing like a heartfelt,

471
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,480
emotional ballad to Whoopi
Goldberg?

472
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,600
Like it?
It was Teenage Dream Niata

473
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,600
version.
My heart hurts.

474
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,600
And we were.
Robbed not to get his audition.

475
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,680
I'm literally pissed about it.
We've been through so much.

476
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,080
You're absolutely right and it
probably would have been Teenage

477
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,800
Dream.
Just like Rachel doing Don't

478
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,720
stop believing for fun and girl.
Take a moment to thank Benny

479
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,320
Blanco.
And so we we would not have

480
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Darren Chris if not for Benny
Blanco.

481
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,880
Thank you Benny Blanco.
I don't think we would have

482
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,840
passed to season 3 of Glee
without Benny Blanco.

483
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:24,320
Trevor, do we 100%?
Probably every best selling Glee

484
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,120
song is a fucking Benny Blanco
song.

485
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,200
Probably.
Probably that chart.

486
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,920
We need that like flow chart of
Glee hits Benny Blanco.

487
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:40,120
Like we haven't actually talked
about any of the music well.

488
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,720
Because we have to.
We have to get to the first one.

489
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,120
We.
Haven't actually gotten to the

490
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,000
first one.
Which we do now, because for

491
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,040
reasons, they've decided that
what the Glee club needs most

492
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,880
right now is a roast.
Yes, I guess.

493
00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:01,040
A gentle roast or curtain
Mercedes get everyone in the the

494
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:07,920
auditorium to reminisce.
But really, it's to like, gently

495
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,480
tell Rachel and Santana that
they're being bitches to each

496
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,040
other, basically.
Which we which they've known.

497
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,760
They know it's like a surprise
to them.

498
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,880
Today, tomorrow, forever.
So they're like, we're here's a

499
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:29,120
fake feud between me and like
curtain Mercedes about TOTS and

500
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,400
this.
Is that feud was not fake.

501
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,440
That feud the the the tots feud
was real.

502
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,400
That was a deep cut about a
deep.

503
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,480
Cut about Tots and like we
mended our feud.

504
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,520
So so you should mend your feud
and we're gonna heal our hearts

505
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,800
with a song which is I am
changing from Dreamgirls which I

506
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,440
fast forwarded through.
Oh yes.

507
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,920
The Kurt Stan I also did not pay
attention to it.

508
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,480
I mean I'm glad he got a song,
like I can't be mad about that,

509
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,160
but they could not have picked a
more boring song for them to do

510
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,320
together.
Beautiful gowns.

511
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,680
I thought it was funny that
like, this is OK.

512
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,280
I thought it was funny that this
is very clearly like a hey, you

513
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,640
2.
This has gone on for far too

514
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,040
long.
And then midway through, like

515
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,040
the second chorus, they
literally shine a spotlight on

516
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,080
to both of them where they're
sitting.

517
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,040
And and Rachel's like, oh, yes,
thank you, a spotlight.

518
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,760
And Santana's literally like
putting her hand in front of her

519
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,160
face like, this is stupid.
Please don't like please.

520
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:41,360
I also thought for two seconds
about the implications of the

521
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,120
fact that Kurt and Mercedes are
having lunch in the high school

522
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,400
cafeteria.
Which means these kids, these

523
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,600
like either like high school
graduates or like high school

524
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:59,960
graduates who are like freshmen
in college, are like eating

525
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:03,720
lunch at the high school
cafeteria for a week.

526
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,240
Yeah, they share free reign,
apparently.

527
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,560
Like.
Have they been doing this every

528
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,240
time they visit?
And also, why would you want

529
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,320
that?
Why would you want that?

530
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,400
Yeah, nobody wants that to go
back and eat their high school

531
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,920
cafeteria food.
I feel very confident in that

532
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,280
statement.
I think my whole, I actually,

533
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,440
frankly, I missed the entire
Rachel Santana part of Curt

534
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,160
Mercedes because my little brain
was just like, yeah, you guys

535
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,280
are still fighting.
Is this still a plot point?

536
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,760
OK, great.
What I did not miss was Mercedes

537
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,040
soft launching, I guess Quinn
and Puck talking about another

538
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,840
accidental pregnancy.
And I was like, OK, ma'am, we

539
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,400
are not letting go of the fact
that Quinn stayed with you when

540
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,240
she was pregnant and nobody ever
mentioned it ever again.

541
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,560
Yes ma'am.
Also you saying I want my

542
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,560
friends to have an accidental
pregnancy?

543
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,120
You.
Her body's probably still not

544
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,960
properly healed from her first
pregnancy.

545
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,120
Yeah, she jumped right back into
the world.

546
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:09,320
I was.
I was.

547
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,960
And for me, it just came out of
absolutely nowhere.

548
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,240
Absolutely nowhere.
I was very confused, but like,

549
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,680
OK, here we go.
She is a freshman in college at

550
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,520
an Ivy.
Yeah, well, didn't stop her the

551
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,200
first time.
They wasted.

552
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,840
Absolutely no time in making
Quinn's whole personality about

553
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,760
a man again.
They literally again, it's been

554
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,200
this entire fucking show except
for skank Quinn.

555
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,680
That was like the only time her
whole personality and then I

556
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,360
mean, she had the Ryan Seacrest
tattoo, so maybe it still was

557
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,120
about a man you.
Know what just.

558
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,560
To be fair, that was the best
part.

559
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,800
I we all we all should know by
this by now.

560
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,240
If you do not I am a skank Quinn
girl I.

561
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,880
Are there people that aren't?
I mean, I'm an exclusively skank

562
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,080
Quin girl.
If every character was just

563
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,800
played by Skank Quinn, I would
be.

564
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,920
I understand.
But Speaking of making Quinn's

565
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,000
whole story about a man, and I'm
jumping way ahead here, very

566
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,360
sorry.
And we'll talk about it again

567
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,280
when we get there, but Quinn and
Puck do like a song in the choir

568
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,880
room.
No, let's talk about it now,

569
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,400
because I don't want to talk
about it again.

570
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,480
Why?
It is so faberry coded the

571
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,800
entire performance they're
focused on fucking Rachel Berry

572
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,160
like giving like heart eyes and
Quinn for Bray.

573
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,680
And I'm like, you could have
made it, you could have done,

574
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,200
you could have made the
different choice.

575
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,960
Well, here's why they made that
choice is because the show wants

576
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,680
you to believe that Finn and
Rachel were soul mates and Puck

577
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,440
and Quinn were soul mates and
both of these pairs of soul

578
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,120
mates found each other in high
school and then Rachel doesn't

579
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,240
get to have hers anymore.
So anybody who happens to be in

580
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:58,000
love and around her it.
It's not about them as a couple.

581
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,800
This song where they are singing
and like we are a couple and

582
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,280
we're going to start dating
again.

583
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,680
It's not actually about them.
It's about how Rachel feels

584
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,840
about it.
It absolutely is how Rachel

585
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,960
feels about it because she's the
protagonist and main character

586
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,719
in every aspect of her life
forever.

587
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,920
However, I will take your point
and raise you a second one.

588
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,400
Soul mates are actually Finn and
Puck and Quinn and Rachel.

589
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,880
That's why he's just a Little
Mix up with the factory guys.

590
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,480
It's fine.
I want, I wish.

591
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,840
We had gotten some sort of
acknowledgement in front of Puck

592
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:36,280
that Santana and Quinn slept
together.

593
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,920
Yes, my God, yes.
Yeah, that would be.

594
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,639
That'd never get brought up.
Yeah.

595
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:46,000
This episode too gay.
Oh, we're getting to the gay

596
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,239
stuff and I have some opinions.
All right.

597
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,000
I'm so excited to hear your
thoughts and feelings about

598
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,400
everything that's about to
happen.

599
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,080
Just like the lyrics of what
does it give me just to read

600
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,600
like just give me just give me a
reason like beautiful song.

601
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,760
Love it.
Not in the episode.

602
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,600
It's so like you're saying,
coded to make them sound like

603
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,480
forever and always and souls and
like oh they've been back

604
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,160
together for like 6 hours and
you're trying to tell me that

605
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,520
this has been meant to be since
the beginning?

606
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,080
She had a different boyfriend
yesterday.

607
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,040
Also why were they immediately
like so much PDA like?

608
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,360
I oh, they were just.
Not.

609
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,560
Necessary.
They are straight in each

610
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,880
other's mouth singing this song.
The whole time, the whole time I

611
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,720
was, I was like, I actually
really like the song as a song,

612
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,160
yeah.
And you're making it icky.

613
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,000
Imagine how awkward this is for
Marley.

614
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,800
Yeah.
I prefer not to think about it

615
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,120
for Marley, but that's OK.
I really like Marley.

616
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,680
Puck was dating Kitty and
Kitty's like in the room.

617
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,760
Yeah.
Your ex-boyfriend is just

618
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,240
macking on his baby Mama right
in front of you.

619
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,800
Like it's so weird.
Who?

620
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:04,400
A lot of exes in that room.
OK, Rachel, Mercedes, Quinn,

621
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,920
Santana.
So if we if we rewinded back to

622
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:14,600
less than six months in
Showtime, Kitty was like, I want

623
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,280
to be exactly like you to Quinn
on the Thanksgiving episode.

624
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:25,760
I forgot about that, wow.
And now she's like watching the

625
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,680
guy that she was like dating for
the Sadie Hawkins episode.

626
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,080
Are you trying to make sense of
this show?

627
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,360
I'm not the one that brought
this up.

628
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:41,800
My bad.
OK, well, Speaking of, you know,

629
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,760
enemies to lovers, I guess we
do.

630
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,440
We need to need to now move into
the bathroom I believe.

631
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,960
I mean, I'm good for like an
hour, but after that?

632
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,560
Yeah, so.
So Rachel goes to Santana with a

633
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,880
peace offering and she's like,
I'm going to give you 10

634
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,600
guaranteed shows.
After.

635
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,720
Three months, like, first of
all, like it's a negotiation.

636
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:06,360
Secondly, that's not a bad
offer.

637
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,960
No, it's not.
It's really OK.

638
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:11,320
It's not.
And also like we've seen with

639
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,960
Lea Michele, like she's going to
get those shows anyway.

640
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,240
So like, just hold on well.
I do believe Rachel Berry for

641
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:22,840
the first like 6 months of the
show would do 8 shows a week.

642
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,360
Leah Michelle She.
Leaves.

643
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,080
OK, OK.
In.

644
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,440
Character that is out of
character.

645
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,880
Let's be clear.
That's that's, that's Glia we're

646
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:40,240
talking about, Rachel.
But but character Rachel leaves.

647
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:43,280
No, I know, but the writers
screwed her over.

648
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,400
That's very Would season 1
Rachel have left?

649
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,400
No.
No.

650
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,320
Season 1 I don't even think
season 3 Rachel would have.

651
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,440
No, very true.
I I actually reject that whole

652
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,200
plot line because it makes no
sense.

653
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,840
You're like, I don't understand
what's happening.

654
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:56,360
You're just for.
Anything.

655
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,720
Yeah.
It's it's lame.

656
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,600
But like Rachel goes and she's
like, I'll give you 10,

657
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,440
guaranteed.
Like I'll give you 10 shows and

658
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,040
they can be any 10 shows you
want, however configuration you

659
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,040
want.
Like she's like they can be 10

660
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,360
shows in a row.
They can be spread out however

661
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,960
you want.
And then Santana throws it back

662
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,640
in her face and it's like, no,
because I'm going to go.

663
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,600
I'll show girls on you and I'll
win.

664
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,800
Girly pop.
You're not the one that got

665
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,680
cast.
Yeah.

666
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:35,760
And Rachel's not in a like, even
if the actor could negotiate

667
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,400
this for you, this is her first
show.

668
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,680
She's not in a place to
negotiate this for you.

669
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,080
She can't go up to the producer
and say hi.

670
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,280
The understudy is actually going
to be the the lead.

671
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,000
Can you imagine how pissed off
the audience would be?

672
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,640
Like, hey, every, there's gonna
be like 10 surprise shows where

673
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,960
I've chosen to have the
understudy go on.

674
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,120
Oh no, I'm not even talking
about that.

675
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,160
I'm talking about Santana saying
actually I want Fanny Bryce.

676
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, does that make sense?

677
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:14,400
The last show that I did, we did
the musical version of like the

678
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:20,600
Percy Jackson show and.
I saw that in down, like, yeah.

679
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,520
Yeah, yeah.
No, I did it at the Skokie

680
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,480
Theater, which is a building
that is falling apart, so not

681
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,000
bad.
It was cute, though.

682
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,880
Like, like we were not allowed
to have water on stage at the

683
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,320
musical theater.
At the musical theater

684
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,880
adaptation of the Percy Jackson
Son of Poseidon show.

685
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,880
Are you joking?
Less effective, but yeah.

686
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,840
Yeah.
And the, and the, the three

687
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,520
leads had understudies, but the
understudies were part of the

688
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,560
ensemble.
So if you had an understudy go

689
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,080
on, then somebody else had to
cover their track.

690
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:05,760
And the lead, the person who was
playing Percy, went up to their

691
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,520
understudy and was like, I'm
thinking or no, went up to our

692
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,880
director and was like, I'm
thinking of giving so and so a

693
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,040
show.
And the director?

694
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,280
Had to kindly pull aside this
person who is 10 years older

695
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:23,680
than her and say that's not your
place, No, you don't get to do

696
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,560
that.
And that was a like storefront

697
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:32,600
non Equity show where the actors
got paid $250.

698
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,080
You think that's going to happen
for a fucking Broadway revival?

699
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,600
I mean, this is how I feel about
them casting Rachel Berry in the

700
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,680
first place in the Broadway
revival.

701
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,400
Like no, no, no one's going to
pay ticket prices for that.

702
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,840
Like you would literally have to
be giving them away for free.

703
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,640
Yeah, anyway.
Come see our show that

704
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,880
capitalized it, I don't know,
$10 million and our ticket

705
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,240
prices are going to have to be
$450 for orchestra with no name,

706
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,360
no name, nowhere, nobody,
nothing, no.

707
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,680
Oh my God, that's going to go on
great.

708
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,480
She does throw out a really
great line that I love for

709
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,040
Santana, which is no more scraps
Rachel I.

710
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,560
Love that though.
And I was like, you know what?

711
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,080
Yes, I'll take that.
Thank you.

712
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,280
I love that line.
I also love her thing about she

713
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,400
has to express her, express her
venom.

714
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,400
Because if I don't express my
venom at least once a day, I get

715
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,400
constipated.
Yeah, I do remember that

716
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,120
becoming like a fandom staple.
I love that because that's how I

717
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,480
text Allison so I don't say shit
on Tumblr.

718
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,000
I participated, unfortunately I
feel the need to.

719
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,240
I have to now gift that so that
I can just slap it, auto

720
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:54,840
reaction everything I do like.
Sorry guys, this is my daily

721
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:55,840
venom.
Smack it's.

722
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:00,600
Just I have to like so I don't
say it publicly and you know,

723
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,800
then get anons, but that no
scraps conversation and kind of

724
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,360
their whole bathroom
conversation.

725
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,080
Number one is why I hate their
second conversation.

726
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,000
I don't hate it.
I just, I don't like it where

727
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,680
Santana admits that she has been
sucking all the celebration out

728
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,480
of Rachel's role and that she's
been a bitch her whole life and

729
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,080
that she always does this and
that.

730
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,280
She's just a mean person.
It's like, whoa, OK, no, you are

731
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,600
a strong person.
You have a lot of opinions.

732
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,600
You don't take shit from people
as much as possible like you are

733
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,120
also some I mean a lot of the
episodes you're like 1516 years

734
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,160
old and you're learning how to
process emotions and you're.

735
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,800
Not great at it all the time.
And you lashed out at people

736
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,920
because you're bundles of nerves
and anxiety and.

737
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:48,440
And you're hiding things about
yourself for the majority of

738
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,520
this show.
That doesn't equate to you being

739
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,560
a mean bad person.
It equates to you reacting to

740
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:59,360
somebody who has been mean to
you a lot of the time and who

741
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:06,920
has been an antagonist to you
and has fought you for supremacy

742
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,840
inside of the the thunderdome of
the choir room.

743
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,600
And to suddenly say something
like I mean and you're right is

744
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,760
bullshit.
Well, they even.

745
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,120
That.
They even have in in that second

746
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,720
conversation you're talking
about like I believe Rachel even

747
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:28,240
asked her like what did I ever
do to you?

748
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,200
And Santana says nothing.
And I'm like, bullshit.

749
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:36,520
This also goes back to the
conversation that Mercedes and

750
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,360
Rachel had in the bathroom last
episode where Mercedes confesses

751
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,880
that she thinks of Rachel as one
of her tormentors from high

752
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,400
school.
And I don't it wasn't

753
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,520
intentional because white men
wrote this show.

754
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:52,520
But I do think it's very
interesting that her two like

755
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:57,280
people that she that Rachel
feels she has to show everyone

756
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:03,120
she is better than are two women
of color who are equally as

757
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:09,400
talented as her and don't have
the same like goals.

758
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,200
Like, Rachel has always wanted
to be a Broadway star, and for

759
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,880
as long as we've known that
Santana has aspirations outside

760
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,600
of like, being in the Cheerios
and being successful there,

761
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:25,240
she's wanted to just be famous.
And Mercedes has always wanted

762
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:28,920
to be a recording artist.
Those are three very separate

763
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,880
tracks that can coincide if the
person who is like, doing that

764
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:38,160
wants them to.
But they don't have to, and

765
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,560
Rachel decided to make
everything about herself,

766
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,200
thereby taking experiences away
from other people that affected

767
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:50,000
those other people.
And Rachel doesn't see that as

768
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,760
tormenting them because she
can't see past.

769
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,040
Like her face doesn't know you
know?

770
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,200
I think early on Kurt also would
have fit into that too.

771
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,080
Kurt sort of like turned into
her sidekick as a way of just

772
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,200
like, cropping Rachel up instead
of continuing to fight her.

773
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,920
But early.
On SO, yeah.

774
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,360
And I think they.
Yeah, they gave Kurt like his

775
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,960
little fashion thing off to the
side, I think, to take him away

776
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:20,040
from the the battle because it
was then it was like 4 against

777
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,400
1.
And I, I don't know, there was

778
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,760
enough time for them to do that.
And it starts to look like a

779
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,880
hate crime.
It is like two women of color

780
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,160
and then the other gay character
and it's like, OK, let's stop

781
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,920
this.
And they they put him off to

782
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,000
fashion and then completely
forgot about the storyline that

783
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,400
actually fit really, really well
with him in New York with Sarah

784
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:46,920
Jessica Parker.
His name?

785
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,160
Isabel Isabel Wright Beautiful
storyline.

786
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,440
Keeps him in New York.
Keeps him on a different track,

787
00:45:54,600 --> 00:46:01,080
separate but equal.
Keeps him in New York.

788
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,320
Keeps him doing something that
is entertainment, that is

789
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,720
exciting.
That and that is.

790
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:10,040
His that is his That is not
Broadway.

791
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:14,120
He can do his band right on the
side, perform, get his Glee

792
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,360
songs, get his royalty payments
as well as the rest of the cast,

793
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,360
and do his own fucking thing.
That makes it even more

794
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,120
frustrating that like they
didn't know anything to do with

795
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,240
Rachel besides continually give
her enemies.

796
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,560
Like imagine if Rachel had just
like found something she was

797
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,560
passionate about or made a
friend at Niata instead of you

798
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,520
know.
A friend that she didn't fuck.

799
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,320
Exactly, I was just saying that
she didn't sleep with or.

800
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,280
Rachel doesn't know how to make
friends.

801
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,400
She doesn't.
She doesn't friends, she just

802
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,360
makes enemies.
And then this and then these two

803
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:54,160
episodes just serve as a way of
everybody bending over and,

804
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,040
like, almost bending the knee to
Rachel's supremacy.

805
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,240
And like, you know, like, oh,
you actually never did anything

806
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:05,280
wrong.
And it's like that, you know,

807
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,360
which is the way of the show.
It's the way it's always been

808
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,200
done.
But it's just very disingenuous

809
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,880
to then go and say like, no,
actually Santana's just a mean

810
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,560
person and she's just been, you
know, cuz like, I don't think we

811
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:26,080
ever get an actual reason as to
why Santana decided to audition

812
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,800
for the understudy role.
But I do think it has something

813
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,320
to do with just wanting to spend
time with her friends and

814
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:37,440
wanting to like make friends
with other people because

815
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,440
performing is where she felt
happy.

816
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:45,520
We don't like if we look at, you
know, Santana, the track she was

817
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:52,280
on like at University of
Kentucky, the the Cardinals

818
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:57,560
outfit.
Then she leaves that to go move

819
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:03,400
in with her best frenemy to then
go work alongside her best

820
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:08,120
frenemy to audition and at the
under city role of the show of

821
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:12,200
her best frenemy.
Like there is nothing as as

822
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,920
grumpy as Santana is and can be
about it.

823
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,240
Her actions are saying I want to
love you.

824
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:23,200
And also, she's she's the one
that gets freaking insufferable.

825
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,080
And she's the one that gets
Rachel and Kurt the jobs at the

826
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:36,200
diner, and she's the one that
convinces Rachel to join the

827
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:42,360
band.
And she is the one that kind of

828
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,480
saves their asses.
Always, always.

829
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,680
She's the one that, like is
actually savvy to do a lot of

830
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,480
other stuff.
I just, I all wall.

831
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,120
Yeah.
I just, I hate this.

832
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,880
I hate this for them.
I, I, it is so rare.

833
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,680
We we woobify a lot in fandom.
There are there are characters

834
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,760
who whenever they deserve it.
Get the like soft puppy.

835
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:07,560
Oh you've never done anything
wrong in your whole life

836
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,760
treatment.
It is so upsetting to see it in

837
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,760
Canon.
Yeah.

838
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,240
It's just like Rachel babies,
you've, you've never done

839
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:16,400
anything wrong in your whole
life.

840
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,200
It's like we have 5 1/2.
We've 4 1/2 seasons of her being

841
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,840
a monster.
Like stop it, cut it out.

842
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:29,080
Sent someone to a crack house.
Literally like audition for

843
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,920
something.
Things I completely forgot about

844
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,960
for 500 Alec.
What's crazy is it's going to

845
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,040
happen at least like 3 more
times too.

846
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,320
Like she's going to do something
absolutely off the wall.

847
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,240
Or at that.
Level absolutely off the wall

848
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:47,640
and never face any consequences
and everybody will just say, oh,

849
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,240
it's OK, you're fine.
I know this was brought up and

850
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:55,280
talked about a lot in fandom,
and I cannot remember if we

851
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,480
talked about a long time ago on
the podcast.

852
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,760
I'm sure we did and I'm sure it
has been here and in other

853
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,880
episodes.
But God does it just hit really

854
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,360
hard that the whether or not
they meant to.

855
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:14,120
Rachel Berry is written with a
narcissistic disorder.

856
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:20,040
And there's no way you can look
at it without seeing that she's

857
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:25,600
got like some serious, serious
narcissistic tendencies where

858
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,760
it's just like has absolutely no
feelings or emotions for anybody

859
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:33,040
else except for what they can do
to help her and has absolutely

860
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,040
no ability to, yeah, see what
anybody does outside of how it

861
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,800
furthers, furthers her.
Adriana.

862
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,040
And what you were saying
basically made me go, oh, yeah.

863
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,560
She's just, she's just
narcissistic personality

864
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,640
disorder.
Like in Persona, like in

865
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
Personified.
It's just like, yeah, it's who

866
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,600
she is.
Well, Speaking of other things

867
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,200
that are only tangentially
related but still have

868
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:02,400
absolutely no place in this
freaking episode of Glee, we

869
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,760
must now move to Holly Holiday
and the Animal Husbandry Club.

870
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,000
Must we?
Oh, because there's music here.

871
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,200
God bless.
Yeah, I guess.

872
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,640
Well.
There is they, they, they.

873
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:15,040
She does a song and they.
Yeah, Hot first.

874
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,760
First she.
Does one of her classic I'm

875
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,600
going to dress up as a
historical character lessons.

876
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:29,800
It was Temple Grandin.
And that was for reasons I Yeah,

877
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,200
she.
She did happen in Temple Grandin

878
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:38,720
to teach.
And did she wear a thundercoat?

879
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,440
She should have worn A
thundercoat.

880
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,880
No, it's to to teach.
I actually hardly took a note

881
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:52,120
here because I was like, EW.
But yeah, it's it's.

882
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:58,200
I would love to get whose idea
this is and it came up with

883
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:03,560
really, and it really is just to
bridge between like between the

884
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,760
scene and the song because like
all it is is just to get her to

885
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,400
say, just because I did all
these things doesn't mean I

886
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,560
didn't know how to party.
So that she can then sing party

887
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:42,040
all the time.
Which was great, sure.

888
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,680
I, I really sat there and I was
like, oh, this is great.

889
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,120
This is a fun dance, like a, a
dream sequence.

890
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,920
And then she ends the scene with
oh, see, that was a great, great

891
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,240
field trip.
And I was like so.

892
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,760
She took all those kids out of
class to a roller brink.

893
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,600
I really appreciated like 2/3 of
the way through the song You

894
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,600
like forget the focus on like 2
of the animal husbandry kids who

895
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,120
are just like looking at each
other back and forth.

896
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:13,560
Like what?
What I feel like that is how

897
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,040
most of the school feels most of
the time.

898
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,640
It's just like.
What the?

899
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,320
Fuck is happening in no wonder
no one graduates like.

900
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,640
Oh yeah.
She just bursts in dressed

901
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,800
inappropriately or offensively
apparently, because they do get

902
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:36,400
a lot of letters afterwards.
And then and then somehow

903
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:43,480
magically switches to a 1970s
disco roller rink attire and

904
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,880
then they go to a bubble party
at a roller rink.

905
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,440
Nobody has signed field trip
permission slips, so.

906
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,520
But it's Glee.
No wonder the parents are

907
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,840
pissed.
I don't know who pays for this

908
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,520
because the Glee club not having
money is in fact part of the

909
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,560
problem.
I can't imagine the animal

910
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:05,280
husbandry club has money for a
bubble party and no one broke

911
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,160
any bones so I guess that's
good.

912
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:12,360
Roller skating and bubbling.
They looked hot in their outfits

913
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,760
I guess.
Where's that she's?

914
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,560
There's Eddie Murphy for party
all the time.

915
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,760
Lot of lot of sequins, lot of
bubbles.

916
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,720
I don't hate when Holly Holiday
sings, honestly.

917
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,800
She's not a terrible singer.
There's something about her

918
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,880
voice that's very just like, all
right, I'll bop to this.

919
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,840
It's not excessive.
It's not trying very hard.

920
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,880
She's just like having a good
time on a pop song so I doubt.

921
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,920
Just having fun.
Just having a good time.

922
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,800
It's a forgettable song.
I honestly forgot this happened

923
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,600
and then I was like, oh, a
sequence outfit.

924
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,120
Great.
I saw it and I was like, Oh

925
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,160
yeah, I remember those behind
the scenes pictures.

926
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,560
I remember Darren's yellow suit
and I was like.

927
00:54:57,720 --> 00:55:01,520
Yes, my, my notes.
My notes now say that Brittany

928
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,800
and Santana are doing soft,
romantic things.

929
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,320
B.
Do you want to talk about not

930
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,880
your lesbian whatever, whatever
nonsense is happening between

931
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:15,800
Brittany and Santana?
OK, I will say I read, I I read

932
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,640
a Reddit thread and I feel
slightly better about it, but

933
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,920
OK.
So Santana walks into the choir

934
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,880
room and it's filled with
lilies.

935
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,080
Like legitimately a flowers
field.

936
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:29,520
How much money does Brittany
have?

937
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,720
What?
How did she get buckets and

938
00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:33,880
buckets and buckets of lilies?
I love.

939
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,240
That they stole them from a
Funeral Home.

940
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:37,120
Absolutely.
She had to have.

941
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,520
That sounds legit.
I love that they stayed in for

942
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,560
like multiple scenes after that
because they're really, what the

943
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:46,800
fuck do we do the flowers?
But she Santana's like, what's

944
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,360
up with all the lilies?
And she's like, they're the

945
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,680
lesbian of flowers.
Now.

946
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,120
There are a lot of lesbian
flowers, but lilies are not

947
00:55:54,240 --> 00:56:01,160
really one of them.
Violets and lavender, sure, but

948
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,040
Lily's not especially.
But I read a Reddit thread and

949
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,080
get this.
It was an R slash Gleece.

950
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,200
This is like legit somebody who
watched this episode.

951
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,280
And then it was like R Lily's
the lesbian of flowers.

952
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,240
Like, I need to know.
And apparently it was a

953
00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:20,560
reference to two things, Georgia
O'Keeffe, paintings of Lily's

954
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:25,040
that look like vaginas.
And the movie Imagine Me and You

955
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,920
apparently has Lily's as like a
whole part of the plot line.

956
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,320
Yeah.
Yes.

957
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:36,160
But do we think, OK, but is that
a Glee writers are making that

958
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:42,240
reference or do we think that
Brittany actually knows both of

959
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:45,360
those things?
That's a good question.

960
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,400
I would believe that Brittany
knows about the Georgia O'Keeffe

961
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,960
painting.
She wouldn't know that it was

962
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,920
Georgia O'Keeffe, but she would
know about the vagina flowers.

963
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,480
Yeah, if she had said like they
kind of look like a vaginas, I

964
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,960
would have been like, OK, like.
That would be the Britney logic

965
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,320
I would expect.
Yeah, yeah, maybe that line was

966
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,640
there and it got cut and they
were like, you can't say vagina.

967
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,960
We're pushing the.
We already have gays making out

968
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,600
because they didn't even get to
kiss in this scene also which I

969
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,720
also have opinions about.
Yeah, I thought that was always

970
00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:16,000
the, that was always the joke is
that the sensors always only

971
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,960
allowed like 1 gay couple to get
to like have any sort of

972
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:24,400
physical presence together in
one episode per time.

973
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,600
It's true.
If it would, it would be funny

974
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,280
if it wasn't so sad.
Like it's just like cuddling or

975
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,760
like nose nuzzling or like a
long dramatic hug or whatever.

976
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,400
They're teenagers, OK?
They're horny.

977
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,320
It's weird.
But in this scene, they also

978
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:45,680
have a conversation and in it
basically Santana's trying to

979
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:53,200
well, because Brittany presents
Santana with tickets to one way

980
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:59,000
tickets to Lesbos Island
outstanding which is.

981
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,120
I love that she knew that was a
place like that.

982
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,560
Seems like something that like
Britney wouldn't like know for

983
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,840
some reason.
Unless she googled lesbian

984
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:08,240
places.
Right.

985
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,160
And like, that was the first
thing that that came up was

986
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,640
Lesbos.
And she's like, Oh yeah,

987
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:19,720
totally.
And they have this conversation

988
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,280
about how, you know, Brittany
doesn't want to go back to MIT,

989
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:28,240
but Santana's got to go back to
her life and how Santana said

990
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,320
she's going to be rich and
famous and I'll get back on my

991
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,080
like, that's not how things
work.

992
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:39,800
Soapbox for like 5 seconds.
Only the top top, top of

993
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:45,240
Broadway stars are rich and
famous, and it's when they go

994
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,360
and do things outside of
Broadway that actually make them

995
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:53,560
money.
Jeremy Jordan, who is currently

996
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,320
like I think he's currently
workshopping something, but like

997
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,800
the big thing that he recently
did was like The Great Gatsby

998
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,920
musical.
He probably made more money from

999
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,800
like however many seasons of The
CW Supergirl that he was in then

1000
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:12,480
Newsies, which is the thing that
made him very well known.

1001
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:17,880
And he's nowhere near as famous,
well known, or recognizable then

1002
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,360
I would say any given Bachelor
contestant.

1003
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:28,480
Yeah, for sure.
Like I don't know why you.

1004
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,800
Insert to a bachelor but me and
Allison are going to have a

1005
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,680
conniption.
No, because I watch and I'm just

1006
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:39,760
like, I think the general
population would recognize like

1007
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:45,640
Ben Higgins, bachelor #20 a lot
more than this point.

1008
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,120
Jeremy Jordan.
Just trust.

1009
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,040
Trust that she's correct.
Adriana, are you in the pit?

1010
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,360
I'm very upset that they didn't
do more Bachelor references on

1011
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,640
Glee, just by the way.
I think that that would have

1012
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,600
been perfect.
It would have been great.

1013
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,280
It's because it's not like a
competing.

1014
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,120
Network, yeah.
Otherwise they probably would

1015
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:06,640
have.
Well.

1016
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaking of things that are
competing for my attention and

1017
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:15,720
losing every fucking time, we
once again have to serenade Tina

1018
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,480
Cohen Chang out of an emotional
meltdown.

1019
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:23,080
You too.
Does the world need a stripped

1020
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,280
down acoustic version of Loser?
Like no.

1021
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,200
And the world is worse.
For it, I'm not mad about it,

1022
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:35,080
OK, I will fight.
I will stand and defend this

1023
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,520
garbage version of this garbage
song.

1024
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,560
I will defend it.
I think loser like me is a.

1025
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,680
Fun song, like is it a good
song?

1026
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,880
No, but it is fun because it's
upbeat and it's defiant and they

1027
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,680
sang it like in front of an
audience.

1028
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,320
So like a stripped down acoustic
version of three Glee club

1029
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,520
members just doesn't feel right.
I think they didn't want to pay

1030
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,880
the royalties on another song.
Literally.

1031
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,440
And they didn't have to sing.
Too many guest stars excuse to.

1032
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,320
Put Darren at a piano.
It also goes back to all the

1033
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,600
pennies that they have.
They had already used all the

1034
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:13,160
pennies.
I will also say, I guess the

1035
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,960
only thing that it's it's not an
improvement, I guess.

1036
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,720
OK, so we haven't been doing the
thing of is it an improvement?

1037
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:23,400
But this this one is not this
song is not an improvement on

1038
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,760
the previous version of the
song.

1039
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,560
But it does get points because
this time we actually get Darren

1040
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,920
singing on it.
And the lead, like the lead

1041
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,680
vocalist on this version of the
song, are people who did not get

1042
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,200
highlighted in the previous
version of the song.

1043
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:41,480
Sure.
Play.

1044
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:42,760
Is it better?
No.

1045
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,920
No, but I'm not.
Like I said, I'm not mad.

1046
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,320
It is one of the more
transformed redos.

1047
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,160
There are several that are like
basically exactly the same.

1048
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,960
So I do, I do appreciate that
they went somewhere with it.

1049
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,040
Yeah, yes.
Even if I do skip it.

1050
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:04,000
I listened to it because I
didn't remember that it happened

1051
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:10,520
and even though it's 2025, I
still listen to Darren's songs.

1052
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,040
As you should.
Loser Like Me is still on my

1053
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,200
favorite songs list.
The OG I felt like you were.

1054
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,640
OG.
I felt like you were like

1055
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,440
sitting in a group.
Well, I guess you kind of are

1056
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,560
and like announce.
Emily and I still listen to

1057
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,440
Darren Christmas.
Exactly that's.

1058
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,320
How it exactly sounded?
Do you feel better?

1059
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,320
No.
Glee Anonymous.

1060
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,880
That's the.
Name of the podcast?

1061
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:49,400
So then Santana and Rachel make
up, they make up whatever

1062
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,840
Santana text to the producer,
which is a crazy thing to do and

1063
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,120
says I'm breaking my contract.
I'm not going to be like, she's

1064
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:02,000
like, I'm no longer the, the US
of of this production of FG.

1065
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,360
She didn't have to do that.
She could have still been the

1066
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,720
understudy and not go on.
I don't understand the whole

1067
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:12,080
thing honestly.
It's also just like you can't

1068
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:16,800
like they in a real show, they
would have just cast another

1069
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,240
understudy or they would have
like promoted one of the swings

1070
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,640
or one of the ensemble members.
You know, all it shows is that

1071
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,440
it was like all about the
competition and it was not.

1072
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,440
And it was like about not
wanting Rachel to win.

1073
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,360
And it wasn't something that she
actually, I feel like if she did

1074
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,600
want it, she wouldn't have like
just given up like that.

1075
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:42,920
I, it's like, you know, she's
now basically saying like, our

1076
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,160
friendship is more important to
me than like winning this thing

1077
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:50,560
that I don't actually want.
So then they go and they sing in

1078
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,360
the choir room and they sing Be
OK.

1079
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,240
And that song, I liked it enough
that I downloaded the original

1080
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:02,000
version, but they sound nice.
I had no recollection of the

1081
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,800
song and I liked it.
Yeah, it was fine.

1082
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,520
Serviceable, it's fine.
Yeah.

1083
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,880
Got the job, done it.
Was like it was fine next.

1084
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:16,360
It was fine.
Holly comes up to Artie in the

1085
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,640
hallway and Artie is ready to
DTF art.

1086
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,240
Artie is down.
Artie is just ready to bed that

1087
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:26,640
adult woman immediately.
Your son, Artie.

1088
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,600
And instead.
He's a high school senior, yeah.

1089
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,320
He just Holly's coming to him
for his video making expertise.

1090
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:40,080
That is not what he agrees to,
but that's what the purpose was

1091
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,760
for, for reasons.
See.

1092
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,920
I have a note in here that says
Sue is actually a really good

1093
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,480
principal and I can't remember
why on earth I would have

1094
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:52,960
written that down.
Is it about helping?

1095
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,600
We'll get a job interview.
No, not I don't think so.

1096
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:57,880
Yeah.
I think it's all the angry

1097
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,760
letters they get from members of
the Animal Husbandry Club and

1098
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,560
the National Autism Association.
And she's like, hey, that's the

1099
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:10,400
end of your extracurricular
musical experiment because your

1100
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:14,760
stunt was garbage.
That's the but like the fact

1101
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,880
that she gave them permission to
do it.

1102
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,800
She gave them permission to do
it because she cares about them.

1103
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,680
But one strike.
This was not no, stop it.

1104
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,560
I'm protecting these children.
But also.

1105
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:30,360
Two non faculty members of the
school, a substitute and a

1106
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,520
random adult.
Yeah, April wasn't even a part

1107
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:37,360
of it.
That one she wasn't in.

1108
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,960
She's like in the first scene
and then the last one, actually.

1109
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,000
What was Kristin Chenoweth up
to?

1110
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,200
Trouble with that short haircut?
Yeah, I didn't like the haircut.

1111
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:50,560
I did not.
Didn't work for haircut.

1112
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,120
I love a short haircut, but not
that one.

1113
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,760
It was a little John and Kate
+8.

1114
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:58,720
Yes, it was quite Karen I was
going to.

1115
01:05:58,840 --> 01:05:59,600
Say that.
Oh God.

1116
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,800
It was too.
It's a little.

1117
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:06,880
It was a little that, but yeah.
So Will gets a letter near the

1118
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,920
end telling him to go to the
auditorium, and we find out that

1119
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:15,400
somewhere in all of this,
they've had the time to film a

1120
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:23,640
We Love Will Schuster video for
him that plays to make him feel

1121
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,840
better.
Also for his well.

1122
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:27,440
It's.
Like for his.

1123
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:28,800
Kid too.
And.

1124
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,320
His kid.
So that he should be sad.

1125
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:36,520
So that the kid knows that his
dad or his or her dad or their

1126
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:40,280
dad was awesome.
Because it kind of sounds like

1127
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,440
Will Schuster is dying.
Like he'll never a little.

1128
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,400
He's killing him off Goodbye.
Sir, literally how it reads.

1129
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:49,400
Never.
Really, you'll know he's your

1130
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,400
dad, but just know that he was
awesome.

1131
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,640
Like, I think he's gonna raise
his kid.

1132
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,520
I think the background plot that
we have been missing this entire

1133
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:03,320
time is that Will Schuster has
been preserved and alive by The

1134
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,320
Sound of Music.
He is.

1135
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,080
Like.
He is a fairy, and I mean that

1136
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,160
in the true sense of the word.
Of like he needs applause.

1137
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:15,080
To live, he needs songs to live
and.

1138
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:20,360
This is, and this is how he'll
stay alive.

1139
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:26,000
So this video, this video plays
right and it's.

1140
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:32,080
On a screen we've never seen.
And for me, it's half completely

1141
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:36,040
absurd and half screaming.
Glee is not a documentary.

1142
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:40,720
The way that Lea Michele has to
say, like, I love him to her ex,

1143
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,280
like over and over and over
again.

1144
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,520
I'm just like, oh, God, Glee is
not a documentary.

1145
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:48,480
Oh, God, Yeah.
It's also how much of this, how

1146
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,080
much of this is like the actor
saying this to Ryan Murphy.

1147
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:56,760
Yes, because Ryan Murphy gave
them their careers.

1148
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,280
I don't like that that made it.
Worse.

1149
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:00,920
Thank you for making it worse.
You're.

1150
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,080
Right, it was already bad.
I do have.

1151
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,160
I do have.
I will kill on this hill.

1152
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,680
OK, guys, you're going.
To kill on this hill.

1153
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,000
Yeah, I'm not going to die on
it.

1154
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,400
I'm going to kill on this hill.
Oh my God, I'm.

1155
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,200
Kind of stealing that.
I'm not going to die on it.

1156
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:18,279
I'm going to kill on it because
in this video we get Kurt and

1157
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:21,760
Blaine who say that, you know,
whatever, whatever, whatever.

1158
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,840
We just had a baby.
We and Blaine pops in.

1159
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,040
We used the surrogate and Quinn
pops in.

1160
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:29,880
I donated the egg.
Yeah, yes.

1161
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,560
Get Rachel out of here.
Yeah.

1162
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:36,160
Skank my skank, trio my skank
T3.

1163
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:41,680
I also like I love the the
constant to fit in with what is

1164
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:46,720
actual Canon and in the end it
is Rachel carrying Quinn's baby.

1165
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,880
I is that, I mean, is that how
it worked?

1166
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:53,520
Quinn's egg?
Rachel's.

1167
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:55,520
Yeah.
Yeah, it's.

1168
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,359
Simple called IVF.
Yeah, yeah.

1169
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:01,479
Yeah, I it.
Was like not again.

1170
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:07,640
Yeah, just like, I do think it
was quite sweet.

1171
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,600
It's not a thing that would
happen organically, no.

1172
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:21,800
Or in reality, no, but also
sure.

1173
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:27,880
Like it's like they are.
It was like a pretzel twist to

1174
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,120
be like, we want a video of them
saying like where I'm going to

1175
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,720
be in 10 years, but we're going
to put it in the context of

1176
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,439
Will's unborn baby.
Like those aren't those two

1177
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:36,880
things don't normally go
together.

1178
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,680
Like you would just be like,
hey, baby, like this is what

1179
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,439
happened now and in the past
that we're preserving because

1180
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:46,760
it's about to be over, Not hey,
baby, that we will presumably

1181
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,240
know once you're born.
Here's where we think we're

1182
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,160
going to be in 10 years.
Like that just doesn't make

1183
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,760
sense.
Because it's the series finale.

1184
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,360
They should have done like a
time capsule thing or something,

1185
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,800
but like, I don't know if they
wanted to do this.

1186
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:00,360
I think this is where I'll be in
10 years.

1187
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:05,200
Like it just didn't make sense.
Speaking of it being a season or

1188
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:10,200
series finale though, they then
go into Don't Stop Believing

1189
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,480
for.
Version 47.

1190
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,040
Yeah, for like the 47th time in
this show.

1191
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:24,680
And we start with the Core 5 and
then the OG Glee Club of like

1192
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:29,840
the first season.
And by the chorus, we have all

1193
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,440
of the Glee Hub members joining
in.

1194
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:38,640
And I do have to give the show
props because this is the first

1195
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:43,320
time in the history of the 47
times they've done this song

1196
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,920
that Mister Shu sings in this
song.

1197
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:59,160
Working hard to get my feel
everybody wants a thrill.

1198
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:05,040
Paying anything to roll the dice
just one more time.

1199
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:19,480
That's nice.
Is that better?

1200
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,680
It's better that we haven't had
to suffer through it before

1201
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,400
because this one is like a
farewell song for like the

1202
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,920
entire concept of the Glee club,
and it's like everybody giving

1203
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,400
their goodbye to it.
And he sings the entire second.

1204
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,840
Verse because it's the series
finale.

1205
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:37,760
Yeah.
I think.

1206
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:43,840
They also just wanted a a way to
replace Finn without it being

1207
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,320
overly.
Yeah, I mean, they kind of did

1208
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:48,560
though, 'cause.
They had.

1209
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:49,760
They had.
They had.

1210
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:53,240
Sings in his lower register.
In his lower register.

1211
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,800
It was nice.
It was nice, very nice.

1212
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,640
'Cause this full range was on
display this episode.

1213
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,360
Yeah, it was every note.
But it's interesting to me that

1214
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,400
they put the Don't Stop
Believing redo here.

1215
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,760
Not that it didn't make sense,
of course it did.

1216
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,800
But then like, do you do it
again at the end of Season 6?

1217
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,080
They know at this point there is
a Season 6 and they're going to

1218
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,720
have to have a final song.
I don't know.

1219
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,760
I feel like you would say don't
stop believing for that instead

1220
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,200
of this.
But I guess they just hedge

1221
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,160
their bets on like, we don't
know what we're going to do

1222
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:25,080
later.
So might.

1223
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:28,680
As well do it here.
Let's go for it now, yeah?

1224
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,680
This whole chronological
bringing back of the Glee club

1225
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,240
did get me it did get me.
I got a little I got a little

1226
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:37,360
washy.
I got a little like caught up in

1227
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:41,040
my chest.
It did got, it did get me it.

1228
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,920
It made me for just a brief
moment, go.

1229
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:46,520
Should I start at Season 1
again?

1230
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:51,240
No.
That's an interesting choice.

1231
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,680
I didn't do.
We did original choreography.

1232
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,280
Yeah, yeah, The choreo was
really good.

1233
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,840
The choreo really made the song.
It was really good.

1234
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,800
Too bad it wasn't the original
choreo to push it.

1235
01:13:06,440 --> 01:13:08,840
That's the reason to restart the
series right now.

1236
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:10,840
That's true.
There you go.

1237
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,400
It is kind of nice because one
of the little through lines in

1238
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:18,440
the episode is that every time
we go into the choir room, it's

1239
01:13:18,440 --> 01:13:23,160
more and more bare.
And so we have this final scene

1240
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:29,120
of like the Season 4 newbies,
like doing the last cleaning up

1241
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,960
of the choir room.
And they have one last little

1242
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,400
scene where Marley's like, you
know, it's over, but like, we

1243
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,680
were a part of something really,
really special.

1244
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:39,960
And then Tina has to interrupt
and be like, you're going to

1245
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,720
miss my big moment of
graduating, I guess.

1246
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,720
OK, these people knew you for
less than a year.

1247
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:52,000
Like please calm down
Graduation.

1248
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,600
All 15.
All 15 of them.

1249
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,840
At least I didn't have someone
sing Glory Days on stage while

1250
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:02,520
they graduated.
Again, I hated that.

1251
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,200
And having A and having the
graduates like play the

1252
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,280
instruments.
Yeah, that was wild.

1253
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,680
The little acapella pomp and
circumstance.

1254
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:12,080
That was cute.
Cool.

1255
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:18,800
We have we have Becky graduate,
which is really nice and then

1256
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:23,200
Santana calls in a favor with
Sue to have Brittany graduate.

1257
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:26,760
Very sweet.
And she makes a comment about

1258
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,200
how even everyone deserves a
graduation even if it's a year

1259
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:30,640
late.
I'm like she got held back.

1260
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,120
She didn't like leave to in
like.

1261
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,080
Early, right?
But then she left early to go to

1262
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:38,360
MIT.
Graduated early.

1263
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,400
During her super senior year.
Yeah, I don't know.

1264
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,640
The whole thing made no sense.
So she really should have been

1265
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:45,200
graduating anyways.
I don't.

1266
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,040
Know.
Whatever teen that interrupts

1267
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:53,200
her, it was cute.
Yeah, Tina takes the time on

1268
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,920
stage to have a conversation
while other people are still

1269
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:00,280
graduating.
Bit rude because this is where

1270
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,000
she tells them that she can't go
to New York because she got a

1271
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,320
call from Brown and that she's
been accepted.

1272
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:06,840
Like, but OK.
But other people are still doing

1273
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,960
their thing, so if you could
save.

1274
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,960
This if you just like not give
your back to the audience too.

1275
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:13,000
Yeah, she's got to like.
Cheap.

1276
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:17,680
Yourself out a little bit and
that's that's it for the kids.

1277
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:21,120
Say the kids, they're there are
kids.

1278
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,840
Well, you know, they're
18/17/18.

1279
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,160
They're kids.
They're they're the kids of the

1280
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,160
show.
Because then we go to the last

1281
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:37,520
scene, which is Sue and Shu,
which was I, I swear this entire

1282
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,440
scene was written by and for
Emily.

1283
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:45,400
For me it's.
Me and nobody else.

1284
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:51,800
Because Sue comes in and shares
the last of her like vintage

1285
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:56,560
wine coolers with Will Schuster,
and I'm honestly not sure if

1286
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,800
there's a greater declaration of
love that that Sue Sylvester

1287
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:03,800
could share.
I mean like the hair of her

1288
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,240
track suits.
Like maybe she'd give him given

1289
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,160
him a track jacket like like a
high.

1290
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,600
School from the back.
Like, yeah.

1291
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,240
She's.
Yeah, she's like, I'm going to

1292
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,080
miss this fight with you because
it's like our version of making

1293
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,600
out.
And he wants to do more with the

1294
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:25,320
kids.
And she's like, I got you, bud,

1295
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:27,680
because I got you.
An interview with Carmel High

1296
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:31,560
School for their Glee club
director from Vocal Adrenaline.

1297
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,920
Because I love you.
Also like she is the real this.

1298
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,040
Much.
Because she she literally tells

1299
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,960
him you were a terrible history
teacher and an even worse

1300
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,160
Spanish teacher.
But if there's one place where

1301
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,240
you thrived it and like one
place where you actually changed

1302
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:51,640
kids lives, it was in this room.
And you should be like, you

1303
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:54,200
should continue doing that and
imagine what you could do with a

1304
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:55,920
budget.
Yeah, yeah.

1305
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,240
I'm not going to give you that
budget, but.

1306
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,800
You can't like this school can't
give you that budget, but that

1307
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:08,400
school has a team that, you
know, in the last few years

1308
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,120
hasn't had the leadership to
continue winning.

1309
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:20,280
But it it will, you know, And
they have, Yeah.

1310
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,280
Close enough to keep their dates
going.

1311
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:29,920
This, this was the closest thing
that I think we've ever seen to

1312
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,880
a Sue Sylvester.
Just like open declaration of

1313
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:38,160
love, love.
And it, it was just it, it blew

1314
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:45,160
my mind just a little bit that
it took us 4 1/2 seasons, but

1315
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,600
you finally got enemies to
enemies to lovers.

1316
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,280
It's also like an open
declaration of respect, which is

1317
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,600
a lot.
Harder to do.

1318
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:57,440
Yeah, it's better.
It's harder to do.

1319
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,920
Sue leaves and then they have
these little voice overs, like

1320
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:06,560
things that happened in the
choir room or in the show after

1321
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:12,040
as he's like packing up to go
and they give the last voice

1322
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:16,560
over to.
I believe it's the season 3

1323
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:24,200
Nationals episode where Finn
says who Mr. Shu we?

1324
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,320
Went around the room and
everybody said what they wanted

1325
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,480
to win this thing for and we all
said the same thing.

1326
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:33,520
We want to win this for you.
And I thought that it was really

1327
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:38,520
like, because it's been, because
the show has really been like

1328
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:44,200
how everybody who's in that room
changes each other's lives just

1329
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:50,000
by virtue of being in it.
Like the kids teach the teacher

1330
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:51,920
as much as the teacher teaches
the kids.

1331
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:59,440
And and then it like zooms and
like he like she leaves and he

1332
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:04,440
he like shuts the lights and it
zooms into like the like piano

1333
01:19:04,440 --> 01:19:06,560
seat.
And then you hear like the the

1334
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:08,800
the students laughs and the
episode ends.

1335
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:12,040
I was like, and this is where
the show should have ended.

1336
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:14,640
Like yes.
Mm hmm.

1337
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,160
This is where it should have
ended.

1338
01:19:17,440 --> 01:19:21,120
This is this is like this is a
this is a series finale closing

1339
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,200
shot.
It's it's perfect.

1340
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:29,240
Fade to black, we're done.
Put the title card up and walk

1341
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:30,360
out.
It's weird.

1342
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:34,360
If anything, they could have
just done the next episodes with

1343
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,480
like a subtitle like Glee New
York.

1344
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,160
So you would know that it's
like, it's a great ending, but

1345
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:44,840
not for season, not for episode
13 of Yeah, 'cause I'm pretty

1346
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:51,040
sure there also wasn't even a
week in between 5:13 and 5:14.

1347
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:54,800
Like it, there wasn't even like
a no, no, no 'cause in, I

1348
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:57,080
believe in the timeline of the
show, it's like a six month

1349
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,000
jump, but you're going, you're
going from graduation and then

1350
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,040
they have to get into school.
And I, yeah, I believe the, the

1351
01:20:04,480 --> 01:20:09,480
the that starts in like the
second semester of what would be

1352
01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:12,880
the sophomore and freshman year
of these kids in college.

1353
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:18,960
But I believe in airing time
they didn't even have a weak

1354
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:23,400
hiatus between episodes because
this aired in March and by the

1355
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:30,520
time I had spring break in April
we were already on the St.

1356
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:35,040
DS episode.
So this aired March 25th and

1357
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:39,160
then New New York airs March or
April 1st.

1358
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:41,640
Yeah, yeah, that's the next week
there's.

1359
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,000
It feels like there at least
should have been a little like,

1360
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,480
you know, mid season break
between this.

1361
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:51,480
No, just laying in.
I guess that was the idea.

1362
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:55,320
Yeah, well, OK, we need to pick
like a favorite song or really

1363
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:58,160
like we can't all pick a
favorite song because we can't

1364
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:04,400
make a single decision.
But did we really cover like the

1365
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:11,560
range of songs and if one was
done like the the best, you know

1366
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:13,280
what I.
Mean if the redo was the best.

1367
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,320
Redo was the best.
From last episode and this one.

1368
01:21:17,480 --> 01:21:18,960
Yeah.
Oh.

1369
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:20,800
We could do that.
There was only.

1370
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:23,360
One song in this episode that
was, well, two I guess.

1371
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:25,040
Loser like me and Don't stop
believing.

1372
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:27,600
Did they do I am changing
before?

1373
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,880
I feel like I don't remember.
No, I don't think I am.

1374
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,880
I am changing and the Santana
Rachel song.

1375
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:36,960
We're both new.
And party all the time.

1376
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:38,440
Definitely new still.
New.

1377
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:39,840
Just give me a reason,
definitely.

1378
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:41,560
New Because of the Heart was cut
from the episode.

1379
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:42,800
Oh, that's crazy.
Right.

1380
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,080
But that would have been a redo,
yeah.

1381
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,680
I don't know guys, I am still
standing very firmly in front of

1382
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:55,920
loser like me Acoustic version.
I respect your standing. 10 toes

1383
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:00,120
down, 10 toes down.
I'm not ten toes down for it,

1384
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,120
but I'm not going to lie,
anytime somebody says party all

1385
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,560
the time, I start singing the
song.

1386
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:11,880
So I just I'm by saying I that
is a better version.

1387
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,080
I just fucking love that song.
So I'm.

1388
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,400
Not going to kill anyone for
party all the time, but I think

1389
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,920
I liked it.
I I liked Be OK actually because

1390
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,560
it it was like a a surprise for
me because I'd absolutely

1391
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:26,320
forgotten it existed.
Yeah, I was.

1392
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:31,360
Like, oh nice.
So it's almost like a new song.

1393
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,320
I think we can take Don't Stop
believing off the running

1394
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:38,480
because like.
I feel like also every single

1395
01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:44,480
time that they redo it it loses
the emotional like pay off.

1396
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:49,160
It's not the visuals sometimes,
right?

1397
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:53,160
Like yeah, unless the song.
And like the last time that they

1398
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,760
did it was for Rachel's audition
for Funny Girl.

1399
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,920
Which was not that long ago.
Which was not really that long

1400
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,560
ago in Showtime, it would have
been like 3 months.

1401
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:04,720
In viewer time.
It's been a year.

1402
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:09,400
Still not that long.
No because I feel like before

1403
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,920
that the last time they did it
was regional since season 1.

1404
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,160
Songs We weren't going to pick
one, but it's not don't stop

1405
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,200
believing it's.
Not we're not going to pick one,

1406
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:21,440
but we're not picking that one.
It's.

1407
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,520
Not don't stop believing and
it's not just give me a reason.

1408
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,720
And the song should be give me
just a reason frankly, because

1409
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:32,080
the grammar is weird, correct?
Yeah.

1410
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:37,040
We're all writers and we all use
just way too often.

1411
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:40,520
But we know it's give me just a
reason, not just give me a

1412
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:42,160
reason, right?
No.

1413
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,800
Well, I'm so used to.
That's why I'm like, no, just

1414
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,440
give me your because it's
conversational.

1415
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,520
It's like, just give me a reason
to not fucking leave you give

1416
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:52,200
me.
Just but in the song give.

1417
01:23:52,440 --> 01:23:52,760
Me.
No.

1418
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,360
It's just give me a reason.
Just a little bit.

1419
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:56,320
Enough.
Yes.

1420
01:23:58,480 --> 01:24:00,280
Oh my God, am I wrong?
No.

1421
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:01,640
The downbeat starts on the
drast.

1422
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:05,680
I must give me a reason just a
little bit.

1423
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:10,800
Somewhat fast forwarded through
that performance and names.

1424
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:14,320
No, I absolutely Fast forward
through it because I knew Kurt

1425
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:16,200
and Lane were not going to be
holding hands in the background.

1426
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:17,560
So I.
Was like we were just making goo

1427
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,200
goo wines at each other for
three minutes.

1428
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:20,480
It was awful.
It was.

1429
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:22,440
He hated it.
And I the only reason I really

1430
01:24:22,480 --> 01:24:25,360
know I can go like full till on
the song is because that's my

1431
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,760
tag for Kate Argent.
Fair enough also.

1432
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:29,480
Why?
I don't care.

1433
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,400
OK, let's be clear.
The only two remakes in this

1434
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,680
episode are Loser Like Me and
Don't Stop Believing All and

1435
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,720
Total Clips of The Heart, which
wasn't in the episode.

1436
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:41,560
So we're picking the best
remake.

1437
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,800
It's got to be Loser Like Me by
process of elimination,

1438
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,080
unfortunately I will.
You don't.

1439
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:53,400
Allison wins, and the rest of us
all lose the universe.

1440
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:58,920
We're all losers did.
You have a favorite line.

1441
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:02,520
Oh, the venom.
Oh yeah.

1442
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:05,520
The venom line.
I have a different one.

1443
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,280
I want to hear them.
I have a it's kind of

1444
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,840
sentimental.
But so after they sing, just

1445
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:14,840
give me a reason.
Shoe has this weird ass line of

1446
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,240
saying that that kind of goes
full circle because that's the

1447
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:19,240
last song that'll ever be sung
in the Glee club.

1448
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,080
And I was like, that's a weird
way to say that.

1449
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:25,800
But he says we all have more
songs to sing.

1450
01:25:26,480 --> 01:25:28,040
We just Can't Sing them in here
anymore.

1451
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,240
And I thought that was like an
actually really nice sentiment

1452
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,440
because it's not saying like,
your your life is not going to

1453
01:25:34,440 --> 01:25:36,400
have music anymore.
Your life is not going to have

1454
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,640
these people anymore.
It's just not going to be in

1455
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:45,200
this room.
And if they had only kept that.

1456
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:49,800
Right.
What a note to end on could have

1457
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,400
been.
The show the the episode also

1458
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:55,560
keeps going.
But Oh yeah, no, I mean, but

1459
01:25:55,560 --> 01:26:00,720
like in the, in the sense of
that being a sentiment from from

1460
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,920
the from like a last episode
sentiment.

1461
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:07,920
Yeah, anybody else?
The line that made me laugh just

1462
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,000
because I didn't remember it was
the 1,000,000 Moms thing.

1463
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,600
There's really only 100,000, but
each and every one of them is an

1464
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,920
uptight bitch.
Yeah.

1465
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,880
I still have to go with we used
the surrogate.

1466
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,120
I donated the egg.
She just pops in so happy.

1467
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,040
Like, yeah.
Love that it's me.

1468
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,280
Do we do we have to say one nice
thing?

1469
01:26:32,440 --> 01:26:34,600
What are that?
That's the thing I like cuz

1470
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:35,640
there's.
You think we said nice?

1471
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:37,880
We said, we said.
A lot of nice things, yeah, OK.

1472
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:41,000
We did say some nice things, so
we're gonna skip it.

1473
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,000
I'm cool.
We've reached our limit.

1474
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:45,360
No more nice things.
No, we're good.

1475
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,080
We're good.
OK, well then thank you to

1476
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:54,200
everyone for suffering through
this episode with us and.

1477
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:58,000
We're a delight, OK episode was
not, but we are delight.

1478
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,160
So it was not, but we are, but
we.

1479
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,880
Are we did manage to wrangle mav
back into it so you're.

1480
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:05,760
Welcome.
Yeah.

1481
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,080
Thanks for being here, Mav.
Only been a couple years.

1482
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:12,120
I've got, I got a mic in the
interim, so there's that.

1483
01:27:12,480 --> 01:27:14,240
We dragged her back into the
country by.

1484
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:19,840
How does it feel, Mav?
Like in general, I'm exhausted.

1485
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:22,000
Well.
That's also a.

1486
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,480
Description of the podcast.
Oh, the podcast.

1487
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:26,480
An hour with us and she's like a
fucking.

1488
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:30,200
Ex No, that's just from the
state of the world.

1489
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:33,880
No, it's fun.
It's fun to be back.

1490
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:38,680
I I will be straight on us.
I didn't actually watch this

1491
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,400
episode, so it was actually just
a lot more fun to react to

1492
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,120
everybody else's reactions.
I was the meta on this.

1493
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,320
Sorry guys.
Adriana, I will let you decide

1494
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:48,960
how much of this to cut out.
No.

1495
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:54,200
Most of it excellent, most of it
so we can just we can just

1496
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:58,440
create a caveat, yes, I thought.
The PC part was pretty great,

1497
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:00,480
not gonna lie, it was funny.
I'll.

1498
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,520
Cut in and out of it.
OK, let me do a little wrap up

1499
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:07,600
here so we can.
I have to go to bed.

1500
