Glee on the Rocks: 5x16 – “Cronuts, Chlamydia & Relationship Crimes”

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,440
That man has an Emmy and a Tony.
Yes.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,400
He does.
Look where we started.

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,640
Yeah, I love it.
I think this is.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:25,030
Why he has an Emmy and a Tony.
You're listening to Glee on the

5
00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:27,670
Rocks.
I hope everyone brought their

6
00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:29,550
STD panels with them for this
episode.

7
00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:33,790
Hello, welcome to another
episode of Glee on the Rocks, a

8
00:00:33,790 --> 00:00:35,670
Phantom on the Rocks podcast.
I am Emily.

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,040
I'm Andy.
And I'm Allison.

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:45,680
And this is season 5 episode 16
tested because the St.

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,080
DS.
OK, so.

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,920
'Cause the audience has tested
watching this episode.

13
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,720
To the episodes credit, once
again, I didn't.

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,880
The thing I thought I'd come in
hating the most, I actually

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,680
hated the least.
The STD panels, yes.

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,800
It's not the worst part of the
episode.

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,800
I thought that I thought that
the STD thing was gonna be the

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,880
worst part, that I was going to
hate the most.

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,200
And I actually found myself
getting like kind of relieved,

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,640
like, oh, we're gonna, we're
gonna laugh at Artie in like the

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,400
in the herpes costume again.
Like OK this is better than

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,680
other shit.
Actually, if it had just been

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,160
solely STD panels, it would have
been like, all right, let's

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,080
actually talk about this it.
Would have been great, yeah.

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,800
Wouldn't have hated that, yeah.
OK, so Sam and Mercedes as well

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,440
as curtain Blaine encounter
trouble in their relationships.

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,720
Already regrets his decisions.
Done.

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,320
Done.
This episode aired April 15th,

29
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:38,200
2014, which means their taxes
were also due, but no one pays

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,400
taxes on this show.
That's so valid.

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,840
That should have been the
episode.

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,280
I would have loved an episode of
of the six of them in that, like

33
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:48,640
in the loft at the kitchen table
trying to do their taxes.

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,280
That would have been a great
episode.

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,560
Talk about a bottle episode I
would care for.

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,760
I'm just trying to do their
fucking taxes.

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,320
Talk about a bottle episode.
I would kill for write it stat.

38
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,160
That's that's the next Gleefic
I'm writing.

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,040
Haven't written Gleefic in a
decade, but.

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,560
It's it's not even.
No one, no one's leaving this

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,440
apartment until all of our taxes
are filed.

42
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,400
It's not even claim, it's just
genfic.

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,920
Yeah, it's doing taxes and most
people are engaged, but they

44
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,640
can't file joint because they're
not married.

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,520
Right.
And the, the the claim of it all

46
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,560
is just, you know, Curt and
Blaine, having finished their

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,880
taxes and just like are on the
couch listening to everyone else

48
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,640
scream, going hi, can't wait to
be married and filed jointly

49
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,160
with you.
Well, that would be a domestic

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,640
claim that we don't get in this
episode.

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,680
Yeah.
God.

52
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,160
I feel like Blaine would also
just be like sitting there

53
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,360
chilling when everyone else is
stressed and be like oh I mean

54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,560
my parents hired someone.
Yeah, I.

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Already did it for me.
Remember the frozen hot

56
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,680
chocolates that I ordered for
all of us?

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,960
Yeah, that was my tax refund.
It came in like 3 weeks ago.

58
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,120
He did it.
Yeah, those are deductible for

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,200
work.
Yeah, I filed those.

60
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,600
I filed those three months ago.
Well, maybe Blaine's parents had

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,240
such a bad experience with
Cooper.

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,040
I was going to say how Cooper's
involved because he has he has

63
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,280
an accountant for all of his
acting shit.

64
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,040
Of course, but y'all can tell
how good this episode was by the

65
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,920
how much we're talking about it.
In that we're not talking about

66
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,960
at all.
At all.

67
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,080
OK, well the cold open, or the
opening anyway, is not even

68
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,800
about the episode.
It's a black and white film.

69
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,160
World War 2 style film.
Reel of the boys explain it.

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,280
Or learning about the risks of
STD's dressed as if they are in

71
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,520
the 1940s Navy.
This is perhaps the best thing

72
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,120
that Glee has done in a long
time.

73
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,000
That's what one of the reviewers
said.

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,800
It was so funny.
They were like it made no sense

75
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,200
to the episode and yet it's the
best thing I've seen in weeks.

76
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,880
I remember this one was filmed
too.

77
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,640
I remember everyone seeing like,
yeah, I don't know if it was

78
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,760
like, just like spoilers or like
the actual filming pictures and

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,760
having no fucking idea what this
was going to be about.

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,440
And I don't think anyone could
have actually guessed accurately

81
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,520
either.
Totally, Yeah.

82
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,240
No way.
This came out like, yeah, was

83
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,800
it, I want to say spoilers of
like just them filming on the

84
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,400
streets and people being like,
is it Fleet Week?

85
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,839
Like, what are we doing here?
And it turned out to be this.

86
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,079
I did like a.
Handsome idiot, a German, a

87
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:26,240
homosexual, a hapless invalid or
a strapping male soprano.

88
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,200
I do.
It's fantastic.

89
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,520
There is an interesting thing
happening in this episode and in

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,040
the last couple where I don't
know if Chris Colfer had a

91
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,560
conversation with Ryan Murphy
and the writers, but I feel like

92
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,040
Chris Colfer had a conversation
with the writers to say, hey,

93
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,680
write me hot or I'm walking.
Pretty.

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,840
Much.
Yeah, because everyone else gets

95
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,320
called out in this of like,
idiot, homosexual, invalid, and

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,040
he is a strapping male soprano.
And the rest of this episode is

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,600
look how hot Chris Colfer is, it
really is, and how annoying

98
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,280
everyone else is.
And it's for real a stark

99
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:08,240
contrast.
And I don't know, maybe that's

100
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,360
it's because it's such a stark
contrast.

101
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,560
It feels almost out of character
it.

102
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Definitely.
Does the character bleed between

103
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,560
what Kurt does and what Chris
does in real life is like,

104
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,440
that's not Kurt.
I'm sitting here going like Kurt

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,880
has never cared about this ever.
Ever once.

106
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,200
But Chris does a Chris.
Does.

107
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Yeah, it it's, yeah, it in these
last couple episodes there it's

108
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,680
it is noticeable in a way that's
like, yeah, I know we've been

109
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,560
making fun of Rachel for just
dressing and looking like Lea

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,040
Michele, but now it's Kurt who
is just Chris Culver for these

111
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,040
last couple of episodes.
For real.

112
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,080
And like, I get as an actor not
wanting to be the butt of jokes

113
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,400
for the entire run of your
character, but also it's a

114
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:04,080
character and not you.
You have to serve the character.

115
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,640
Sometimes the character is real.
The character bleed is so real.

116
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,920
But we do start with Blaine, who
gets his voice over at the

117
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,160
beginning of this episode where
he is proclaiming his love for

118
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,520
New York, the culture and the
diversity and most importantly,

119
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,720
the food.
And he is so right for that.

120
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,600
He's so very right.
He's.

121
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,040
Very right that he has a regular
order from Street Cart Giro he.

122
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,280
Has.
Like, good for you, bud.

123
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,240
Good.
And these, there's like a

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,920
montage of him eating around the
world.

125
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,600
We get a cameo of the yellow
Sunnies, but there is always

126
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,960
room in the Tum Tum for his
newest obsession, the Cronut.

127
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,760
Has anyone on this call had a
cronut?

128
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,360
No, not.
I have.

129
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,040
They're fine.
Like it's fine.

130
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,560
It's like don't stand in line
for a cronut.

131
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,200
I think my biggest beef with the
Cronut storyline other than just

132
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,120
they.
How did you put like a fat

133
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,360
shaming plot line in this with
this man?

134
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,760
I don't the.
Smallest person in this?

135
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Show.
I cannot believe the.

136
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,800
Wayne Baron was just having to
work so hard to try and get any

137
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,480
sort of skin fold there.
He was just he's literally like

138
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,640
back bending to try to get a
tummy up.

139
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,080
So other than that, my beef with
this is that Blaine is buying

140
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,520
like 4 cronuts a day.
That man has no money.

141
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,480
Right, those are not cheap
unless they're giving him like a

142
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,720
bulk discount for being there
every fucking day Like broski

143
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,280
you're.
Buying for the rewards program.

144
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,480
For real, like you're buying 2
on the way to class and two on

145
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,840
the way home every day.
Like broski, that is like a $30

146
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,600
a day habit for pastries.
They had included something

147
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,200
where like there was someone at
Dominique Ansels who was hitting

148
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,280
on Blaine and giving him free
pastries.

149
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,200
Yes.
That could have helped.

150
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,520
I also feel like that would have
been just to kind of go back to

151
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,360
the like almost the tax
conversation, a more realistic

152
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,160
reason for curtain Blaine to
have been fighting.

153
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Like not because Blaine has put
on apparently like 7 ounces, but

154
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,000
like because he's spending all
of their fucking money on

155
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,240
cronuts because he's never had
to have an adult budget before.

156
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,120
The Freshman 15 oz Yeah.
Yeah.

157
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,679
And not that we don't talk about
the lighthouse in this episode.

158
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,559
Talk about Glee.
Like watching their own

159
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,080
programming.
Like wow, hello, I know.

160
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,320
They remembered somehow, but.
Again, like that.

161
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,120
That is a recurring storyline of
Blaine not being like the most

162
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,000
faithful of partners.
And he could.

163
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,240
He's not.
Getting what he needs at home.

164
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,920
He's.
Not getting what he needs at

165
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,920
home but like that could have
also not to like put that

166
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,680
cheating is the only interesting
storyline but.

167
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,080
I don't.
Know it would have been better

168
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,400
than this it would have.
Been better and cheating is not

169
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:11,120
the interesting storyline, but
it is the only thing Glee knows

170
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,440
how to do.
It's true.

171
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,600
So.
When they try to write this,

172
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,320
you're like, yeah.
Like at.

173
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,440
Least.
Phobia and get out of here like

174
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,040
at.
Least if it had been that there

175
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,160
was somebody, like, flirting
with Blaine, even if Blaine

176
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,120
doesn't know it.
It's like, where are you getting

177
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,560
all these cronits?
Are you buying them all?

178
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:29,640
Is that why we can't afford
shit?

179
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,240
He's like, no, he gives them to
me for free.

180
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,080
And Kurt's like, who gives them
to you for free?

181
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,120
Yeah.
And whether or not Blaine knows

182
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,440
what's going on like that could
at least be interesting that

183
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,200
Blaine is feeling, you know,
weird in his skin and weird in

184
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,440
New York and unloved and, you
know, at least in this one

185
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,600
little pastry shop, he is
feeling loved and special.

186
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:03,840
And crazy, the barista bakery
person Eli C love that he just

187
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,400
has like a little light.
Blaine.

188
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,280
Just doesn't recognize him
because he never saw his face,

189
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,320
he just.
Has the little lighthouse lapel

190
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,080
pin on his apron exactly.
Just he never.

191
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,280
He never saw his face.
Blaine never saw his face.

192
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,760
He just doesn't know that it's
Eli.

193
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,800
Spoiler alert, plot twist, it's
actually Sebastian.

194
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,520
Yes, see.
That would.

195
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,240
That would have been amazing.
Yeah, Kurt.

196
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680
Walks in there and it's like,
it's Sebastian, like, Oh yeah,

197
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,840
didn't you know?
Sebastian's been.

198
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,840
Working at Dominic's the entire
time, Yeah, you're.

199
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,640
Hiding something from me.
I know it.

200
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:43,200
Blaine's like la Dee da.
I also want this.

201
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,400
I want this, I want to read
this, and I want to read it

202
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,440
tomorrow.
I'm.

203
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,040
Really interested to see what
kind of fix it Fick came out of

204
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,200
this episode.
I don't know.

205
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,960
I wasn't reading them because.
I don't know.

206
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Why?
So Blaine is also serving Kurt

207
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,440
breakfast in bed every Sunday
morning.

208
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:05,760
With what money?
Also, eating in bed just grosses

209
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,320
me out.
But we do get the infamous shot

210
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,320
of Kurt doing shirtless push ups
while Blaine is eating because

211
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,480
Chris Cullfer wanted to be seen
as a sex object.

212
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,480
I mean.
There was so much skin, so much

213
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,920
skin in this episode.
He definitely wanted I, I, I

214
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,800
know he didn't write this
episode, but he definitely wrote

215
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,960
this episode for himself.
I have 1000 questions

216
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:36,120
approximately on what what
happened because like two

217
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,160
seasons ago Kurt would never.
No, it would.

218
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,880
He's like, I didn't take my
shirt off in high school.

219
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,080
It's like, yeah, because that's
kind of who you are.

220
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:48,360
It's this isn't for you.
What are you doing?

221
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,440
Who have you know?
Chris bulked up a little bit and

222
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,320
wanted everyone to know about
it.

223
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,320
No, I don't know.
I think, I think Chris probably

224
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,680
got it in his head that he was
the not to put words in his

225
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:08,040
mouth or brain that he wasn't
getting the same thirst Tumblr,

226
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,320
the same Tumblr thirst tweets
that that other people were

227
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,800
getting and wanted to fix it.
I suppose so.

228
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,400
He.
Tried.

229
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,640
I don't know.
I don't, I have no idea.

230
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,960
It was just, it was weird.
It was out of character.

231
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,320
I didn't super care for it.
And once again, it made Kurt

232
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,240
kind of like a Dick.
Like I made him a guy I didn't

233
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,200
want Blaine with.
I.

234
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,200
Didn't.
Like hurt at all in this

235
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,720
episode, no.
Not at all, it turns.

236
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,160
Him into a bro, yeah.
Like.

237
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,920
OK, well now you're a gym bro
and nobody likes that guy.

238
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Yeah, because like, Blaine is
fit, but he's not a Jim bro, No.

239
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,360
Yeah.
As far as we've ever seen.

240
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,920
And now?
You're a Jim, bro.

241
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,160
And also just like we, we
haven't.

242
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,360
Even gotten into the weight
stuff but I have many issues

243
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,600
with how Kurt handled that.
Oh.

244
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,600
Yeah, it's garbage.
It's trash.

245
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,440
Like.
Most most of this episode, as

246
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,080
soon as like that whole plotline
started, I'm like, cool.

247
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,240
So Blaine, why don't you dump
this man?

248
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,200
Because he, like at this point,
does not deserve you.

249
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,960
What are you doing?
Yeah, I.

250
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,360
Don't love it?
Don't care for it, I don't.

251
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,440
Trust men writing about weight.
Nope, Nope.

252
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,520
Nor should not at.
All.

253
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,360
Not if this is the answer.
OK, well now we have Artie who

254
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,480
is musing about Frank Sinatra
for some reason and how New York

255
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,680
is so different from high
school, which, Yeah, Bud, are we

256
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:42,280
learning that high school was
not the be all, end all of your

257
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,680
life the way Glee was setting it
up to be of your.

258
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:47,440
Little bitty life just.
You know, a couple weeks of life

259
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:53,240
here and suddenly people think
he is cool, people are dressing

260
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:59,360
like him, which is weird, and
that he is lady bait, which I

261
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,520
didn't.
Understand, like, good for him,

262
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,640
but I did not understand.
It was one of those things where

263
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,560
Glee was just like, yeah, we're
not gonna show you anything,

264
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:07,720
We're just gonna tell you this
is happening, Yeah.

265
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,440
And you're just gonna roll with
it.

266
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,320
Roll with it like.
OK.

267
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,960
OK.
He is and and kind of like

268
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,520
setting up him up to be like an
auteur at this film school as if

269
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,720
everyone there isn't doing the
exact same thing right.

270
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,360
Like, oh, his experimental short
film is such a turn on to these

271
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,040
multiple girls that he is
dating.

272
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720
Like they're they're all doing
experimental short films.

273
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,920
That's the point of a Brooklyn
film School, isn't.

274
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Yeah, isn't that the point?
It's.

275
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:44,120
Being like a a douche so OK but
he does actually seem to like

276
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:50,240
one girl named Julie and she is
narrating his film called Bags

277
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,840
in the Wind.
Lol.

278
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,280
And that cues up our song.
I think it's our first song,

279
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,360
right?
Addicted to love?

280
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,880
Yeah.
Yeah, which?

281
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:07,200
Is just a homage, an homage to
the the video, the music video.

282
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,120
The way I was not interested in
a single one of these songs this

283
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,880
episode, I was like, oh, thank
God they're singing.

284
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,000
I don't have to pay attention.
Yeah, I didn't Fast forward

285
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,120
through this one, but I did take
the opportunity to read some

286
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,360
notes.
Yeah, it was not.

287
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,320
It was not for me.
I was.

288
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,720
Like, OK, cool, thank you.
And actually, Artie didn't seem

289
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,120
that like Artie slash.
Kevin didn't seem that into it,

290
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,000
no.
Because at this point most of

291
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,120
them like they're singing but
they're so auto tuned at this

292
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,200
point, it just doesn't doesn't
hit.

293
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,840
Like the the season 2-3 pizzazz
of the track.

294
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,240
Like was not there.
It's not.

295
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,520
Not there, which I think is why
the the Darren Singing live hit

296
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,600
so hit so strong now.
There's some there's some

297
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,320
emotion behind it and this one
was like he was in the studio

298
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,240
for 4 minutes and then left.
Yeah.

299
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,640
So yes, I I can still sing this.
Cool.

300
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,320
Thanks.
I guess, yeah.

301
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,360
Yeah, it was kind of like, OK,
great.

302
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,640
And Julie does tell him that she
doesn't date anyone she's

303
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,360
working with, so she's like the
only one who's like nothing you

304
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,920
like.
He.

305
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,240
I liked her little Snaggletooth.
Yes, it's.

306
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,560
Nice to see people who just look
like people, yeah, and aren't

307
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,520
airbrushed to death and who all
have the same face.

308
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:35,160
So we have Klain in their Niata
stage combat course.

309
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,360
I think it's.
In band with any of these

310
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,960
classes are but like.
I think it's an entire combat

311
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:47,120
course and this is like they're
fencing module their.

312
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,800
Unit their.
Unit.

313
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,320
But there's also, like,
weightlifting going on in the

314
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,480
back for the sole purpose, I
think of having another male

315
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,840
student hit on Kurt.
Yeah.

316
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,120
So that Colfer can have his
biceps out.

317
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,920
Yep.
Which again in this episode is

318
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,720
just like piling it on.
Yeah.

319
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,040
It's not one moment of Chris
Colfer being like, I look kind

320
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,000
of nice today.
It's like 5 total minutes in a

321
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,680
42 minute episode, maybe more
than that of him being like hey

322
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,000
guys, don't don't I look kind of
good for real.

323
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,880
I.
Noticed that I look good today

324
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,560
like.
She's definitely he either had a

325
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,080
conversation or just straight up
bribed someone in the right

326
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,440
place.
Because like, especially 'cause

327
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,880
you know Emily, I think you're
really right.

328
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,040
By the end of this episode he
has completely transformed into

329
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,520
a Jim bro and like completely
ignores Blaine's thought.

330
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,920
Very valid thoughts and feelings
on the subject.

331
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,200
He's out there counting macros
like.

332
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,840
He's for real out there,
counting macros like we'll.

333
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,040
Eat a salad, dude.
We'll get to the Alfredo Cat.

334
00:17:54,680 --> 00:18:00,000
I I I almost yelled at a
fictional character.

335
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:00,920
I.
Like.

336
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,720
Christopher, don't make me call
your father like.

337
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,800
Gapes, Yeah.
Bert Hummel.

338
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,640
Would not put up with that shit.
Yeah, Bert.

339
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,960
Hummel would not put up with
that shit.

340
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,960
Can you imagine?
Yeah, Bert Hummel would like

341
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,880
take Blaine aside and be like
you.

342
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:20,800
Come with me.
Yeah.

343
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,600
We're gonna go.
Get burgers.

344
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,360
Yeah, beers.
Get some Alfredo.

345
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,040
Yes.
That he OK, we'll get to it.

346
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:29,960
We'll.
We'll get.

347
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,520
We'll get he made.
Yeah, so Blaine is in the

348
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,480
background eating puffy Cheetos,
which is.

349
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,480
My big my big beef with this is
just the way it was shot.

350
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,880
Like I understand why it was
shot this way but I'm like

351
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,280
please don't get Cheeto dust
everywhere and why are you

352
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,400
eating in the dance studio in
class?

353
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:49,600
Yeah, well.
In the.

354
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,440
Dance.
Yeah.

355
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,120
Like it it was for the bit but I
still got mad about it I.

356
00:18:56,120 --> 00:19:01,560
Know and he's think thinking
about he's doing his little

357
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,720
monologue, inner monologue about
how Kurt's looking amazing while

358
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,800
Blaine isn't, which is patently
false because of his 15 oz

359
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,480
weight gain on what, 130 LB
frame.

360
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,080
And he's feeling jealous because
as you said, this is the one

361
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,040
time Glee has watched their own
material.

362
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,360
He used to live, he used to box
and he was in the Dalton Fight

363
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,200
Club.
Yeah.

364
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,240
Thank you for remembering those
things.

365
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,520
I was.
Actually really impressed.

366
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,080
I was too so a Gold Star for
remembering your character's

367
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,880
background.
I mean we forgot about it in the

368
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,440
last episode where he too was
gay bashed, but that's OK.

369
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,000
The bar is low and you passed it
once.

370
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,120
Good job.
They just.

371
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,760
Slept over it without tripping
we.

372
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,240
Credit where credit is due.
OK, They they did the single

373
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,760
homework assignment in six weeks
of class.

374
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,120
Yes, you turned it in.
So glad for you.

375
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,720
And he's musing about how Kurt
used to hang out with the girls,

376
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,160
but things have shifted and that
he's leading man material now.

377
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,160
Again, like did did Chris write
these lines?

378
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,880
Yes.
He, I think he did, yeah.

379
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,960
He.
Literally says like he's not

380
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,720
used to Kurt being seen by
others as a sexual object.

381
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,920
Like.
Chris Culver put the pen down

382
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,480
well it.
Kind of goes along with that

383
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,960
line later on that Rachel has
about how like, it's nice to

384
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,240
have a girlfriend.
Kurt tries or something like

385
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,800
that, and I'm like, oh, that's
not something that that

386
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,000
character has ever expressed in.
Yeah, yeah.

387
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,280
Like, why?
Why are we retconning who Kurt

388
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,320
is?
What is going on here?

389
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,760
Like, Chris, stop it.
Get out of the writer's room.

390
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:48,520
God damn.
It is.

391
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,840
It is, unfortunately to me, in
this episode, reeking of

392
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,080
internalized homophobia.
It's a little.

393
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,920
Bit, yeah, it's a little bit.
It's a little bit reeking of I

394
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:05,840
have been, you know, perceived
as this like weak, small,

395
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:14,240
feminine twink.
And at this point I'm gonna do

396
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:19,040
that thing where I just shove it
so far the other direction.

397
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,720
It can't possibly hurt me 'cause
it can't possibly be true.

398
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,920
Yeah, and.
So eventually we'll swing back

399
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,720
to the middle, but like for
right now it is just, it's

400
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,320
rough.
It's.

401
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,000
Rough, yeah.
I like how some gay men wanna,

402
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,200
like, monetize femininity until
it doesn't serve them anymore.

403
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,280
Yeah.
A little bit like.

404
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,160
Is that not for you now or what?
We're not.

405
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:52,160
Gonna talk about that.
K Fine Ryan Murphy So one of our

406
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:58,960
other big storylines here is Sam
and Mercedes finally together as

407
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,480
a couple couple and they are
making out on Mercedes couch

408
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,280
until she needs to have a
capital letter very important

409
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,920
conversation with him because
she has not yet had sex with

410
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,280
anyone.
Oh.

411
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,280
No, she's 19.
How?

412
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,760
How dare she?
She's the She's barely out of

413
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,640
high school for real, and she is
our most religious character

414
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,280
for.
Real was this.

415
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,080
Shocking to anyone, literally.
I.

416
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,400
Ben Yeah.
I.

417
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:36,000
Think for a minute they forgot
that Mercedes was Christian.

418
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,640
I think I remember watching this
episode.

419
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,400
I'm like, you know, I just have
my own reasons for like, you

420
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,920
know, not having done this
before.

421
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,720
And I'm like, yes, because
you're a conservative Christian.

422
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,080
You have been for five seasons.
It is not you voted for.

423
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,760
Like.
It is not a leap to say that

424
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,280
like you, especially having
taken in a girl who got pregnant

425
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,640
in like 10th grade, like it is
not out of the realm to be like,

426
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,640
I don't wanna have sex before
marriage because that's what my

427
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,880
religion has taught me.
The fact that it takes the whole

428
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,680
episode for her to come to that
conclusion, I was like, what was

429
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,720
my?
My conclusion?

430
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,440
Yeah, I.
Would not have thought, like I

431
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,760
would not have assumed Mercedes
was out there like banging every

432
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,400
boyfriend she had.
Yeah.

433
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,160
That.
Just the assumption would have

434
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,680
been, well, yeah, we know this
character is really Christian.

435
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,680
She's not sleeping with any of
them, right?

436
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,120
I for some reason, like I, I
guess I had just assumed she had

437
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:38,120
had that conversation with a
character in the past and she

438
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:39,680
hadn't.
Like it hadn't, it hadn't

439
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,200
happened before.
So I was like, didn't we already

440
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,880
talk about this?
I know it hadn't for me.

441
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,560
It was just like the fact that
it took Mercedes an entire

442
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,800
episode to come to that
conclusion for herself.

443
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,240
I know I was.
Like a whole episode.

444
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,640
I was like, Girly Pop, this is
this.

445
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,840
This is the thing that you told
us in Season 1 via your actions,

446
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,720
like via your entire character.
Like remember that conversation

447
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,480
you had with Puck about, you
know, that like whole like 30

448
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,280
seconds that you almost dated
and then you're like, no, he's

449
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,240
not the kind of guy for me.
And it's like, aha, we OK, cool.

450
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,720
Your your whole ass character
says marriage first.

451
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Yes, your whole.
Ass character says marriage 1st

452
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,920
and like, you know, not that
we're not sitting here shitting

453
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,720
on literally every character
forever, but that's very much in

454
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,880
character for her and that's OK.
No, absolutely no moral

455
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,800
judgement or ideology.
Mercedes for whatever I feel

456
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,720
about that, it is very true to
her.

457
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,320
Mercedes is to who Mercedes is
as a character.

458
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:43,800
Totally.
The fact that.

459
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,400
We spent an entire 40 minutes on
it.

460
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,760
Blows my mind.
It should have been like.

461
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:52,600
One sentence on the couch.
Like Sam, don't you realize?

462
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,280
Like duh bro, the end that's
done.

463
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,000
I do.
Really like where it takes Sam

464
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,240
through the whole episode.
I think that that is a really

465
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,120
cool story that I'm grateful
they told.

466
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,480
But like Mercedes should have
known this from the beginning.

467
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,680
And like, maybe we couldn't have
gotten Sam's whole everything

468
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,480
about it without rehashing how
Mercedes feels about stuff.

469
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,200
Maybe we had to have one to have
the other.

470
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,280
But like it was, the foregone
conclusion was foregone.

471
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,480
Yeah, they really tried to play
it up like she might change her

472
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,720
mind somehow.
Like, you're not going to change

473
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,160
your mind.
No, no.

474
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,720
Because Sam goes to to dinner
with the boys and he's like, I

475
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,160
need help finding a clinic
because he wants to get an STD

476
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,760
check for Mercedes because he's
being very mature about it.

477
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,160
And which I thought was really
cute.

478
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,040
He's very cute in this episode.
Yeah, so cute.

479
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,600
And Blaine and Artie are like,
yeah, dude, we'll go with you

480
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,200
and have like a boys day.
And Blaine and Kurt or Kurt

481
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,680
brings up that they hadn't been
tested since the Eli C debacle.

482
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,520
And there's something weirdly
casual about this conversation

483
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,640
around getting STD checks that
they, like, didn't do with the

484
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,960
the bash episode.
Yeah, they're not like throwing

485
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,840
out statistics around St.
DS the way they could have like,

486
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,520
OK, so who wrote this episode
and who wrote the other one?

487
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,840
Yeah, 'cause it the, the, the,
the factoid I really needed them

488
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,280
to shout out was that one and
two people have herpes simplex.

489
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,800
Yeah, like.
Especially when we go with like

490
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,520
Artie and how he feels about
STD's, like a little bit later I

491
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,640
get cold sores.
I have felt that way just about

492
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,040
feeling like a monster, like a
putrid monster.

493
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,800
And this episode could have gone
a long way.

494
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,280
Like Artie's girl #2 and I'm,
I'm, I'm jumping like way into

495
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,160
the way into the future here.
But he tells one of the girls

496
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,000
that he's sleeping with that
like, you know, hey, heads up.

497
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,960
And she's like, oh cool, I'll go
get tested.

498
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:08,640
Like.
That for me was just so strong.

499
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,960
Yeah.
We just art like Artie's the one

500
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,880
who ends up positive for for
chlamydia without showing any

501
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,080
symptoms.
Yep.

502
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,920
So the possibility that he's
been spreading it is high.

503
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Yeah.
Because he doesn't know and he

504
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,120
imagines himself dressed as a
giant STDI.

505
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,120
Have felt that feeling I have.
I too have worn that costume in

506
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:37,320
my mind's eye because.
He feels gross.

507
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,200
I too get cold sores.
I have gotten them since I was

508
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,400
an infant.
They make you feel like you are

509
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,120
a leper, correct?
Like you should disappear into

510
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:55,400
your house for a week and not be
seen by a soul, Yeah.

511
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,240
So I can only imagine like how
he is feeling, like I know this

512
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,880
feeling he's got.
Yeah.

513
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,040
And my favorite part is that he
gets to dress up like a big

514
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,480
bacteria.
Yeah.

515
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,080
Yeah, that is pretty.
Funny.

516
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,600
Yeah, I need, I need the behind
the scenes photos of Kevin just

517
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,960
in the costume in Washington
Square Park.

518
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,160
Yeah, I need.
It just.

519
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,440
Rolling around in this giant
foam, Whatever.

520
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,600
Pretty.
Pretty weird.

521
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,040
Bacteria thing, but yeah, I.
Mean it was nice to have the

522
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:31,400
different reactions from the
Jessica, Julie and the other one

523
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,320
and.
The French one the.

524
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,280
Because she's the one who does
not take it well and she is like

525
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,680
shouting at him in the hallway
and then he sees himself as the

526
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,600
big STDSTI now I guess.
But STD just sounds it flows

527
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,600
better, it's easier.
To say but.

528
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:53,520
STI is the current nomenclature,
yes, but not Winkley was on

529
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,960
Nope.
And somehow so he's like doing

530
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,800
all this in the hallways of the
Brooklyn film.

531
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,440
School.
Whatever his place is called.

532
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,000
And Julie just like shows up out
of the blue, just like as he's

533
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,760
doing this and she's like, oh,
actually I have changed my mind.

534
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,640
I will go on a date with you.
And now he's stopped being like,

535
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,880
I have chlamydia.
But I do want to go on a date

536
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,680
with you.
Now what do I do?

537
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,080
OK, can we go back to like
Artie, Artie?

538
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,800
So Artie gets the call right,
'cause they've all cause 'cause

539
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,080
Sam gets his STD panel and Curt
and Blaine go with like, they

540
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,640
get one in solidarity and like,
Artie gets one in solidarity.

541
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,920
And so Artie's the only one of
the four of them who comes back

542
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,280
positive for something.
And they're in the loft having

543
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,640
this, like, big conversation
about like, how did I ever get

544
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,400
this?
I don't know.

545
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,120
How?
And.

546
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,040
Like, well, do you?
Wear condoms?

547
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,520
No.
Well, that would be an out.

548
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,880
That's.
Why the way he says it is

549
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,520
perfect line reading, Yeah.
Credible.

550
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,720
That was good.
And then of all of them, it's

551
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,880
you know, because Kurt and
Blaine at this point are just

552
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,800
like, you know what?
This is just a choice you made

553
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,240
and like hopefully you'll make
better ones.

554
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,440
And Sam is like, no, no.
Slut shame, slut shame, that

555
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,360
man.
He's.

556
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:13,040
Like he says I am going to slut
shame you OK Like OK.

557
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,680
Broski.
I just from a.

558
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,560
From a If my friend were to do
that I'd feel really bad, but

559
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,560
watching it on TV was hilarious.
Oh it.

560
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,920
Was.
Coming from Sam, it was

561
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,440
especially hilarious.
Yeah, I love.

562
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,320
Him so much.
What an idiot.

563
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,200
I adore Sam, I do the most.
Surprising thing about re

564
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,360
watching this season and
disliking so much is that I

565
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,960
actually am really liking Cord's
whole performance.

566
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,600
Me too.
Yeah, I think of of all the New

567
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,680
York shit that's going on, Sam
in New York is like, no, you're

568
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,680
fun, this is good.
I.

569
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,480
Also think at the time I didn't
appreciate it because I think at

570
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,640
the time I had a pretty strong
anti cord bias because of what

571
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,080
was it, Delia St.
Yes, yes, yes, Delia Street I

572
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,280
was.
I was just like so tired of

573
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,560
feeling like that was being
shoved in our faces that I just

574
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,480
like knee jerked.
Wasn't giving him a chance.

575
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,280
Listen.
There was a lot going on in 2014

576
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,280
of like, OK, well, how come I
have pictures of this and not

577
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,800
pictures of the other thing?
Yeah, like, I know you're there,

578
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,320
so where are the pictures of the
other thing, motherfuckers.

579
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:26,000
Yeah, OK, the show slut.
Shame, shame shame slut slut.

580
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,480
I fucking love him so much and
that's.

581
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,680
What I thought the Taylor Swift
Vault track was going to be

582
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,120
like, and it wasn't.
Oh.

583
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,880
Damn.
All right.

584
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,080
Do you guys want to go to church
or do you want to go to dinner?

585
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,080
Dinner.
OK, not go to.

586
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,320
Church.
Jesus Christ.

587
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,600
You.
Sorry Hon, I meant in the

588
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,320
episode.
I know that you don't want to go

589
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:53,640
to church lol.
Come.

590
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,200
On Now You Know Me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

591
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,400
I mean, I'll.
Go like look at a pretty church.

592
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,360
But you don't wanna, you don't
wanna go inside of a church to

593
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,560
like, sit and, like, listen to a
sermon.

594
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,040
No, no.
Thank you.

595
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,760
How about?
We go there and not if I.

596
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,440
Can't.
Not if I can't talk back.

597
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:16,240
How about we go there and Glee?
OK, so for reasons that I don't

598
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,600
really understand, except for
singing, Sam Sadies Goes to

599
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:20,800
Church.
OK.

600
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,760
Did you think they were on a
date at first?

601
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,520
I was like, oh, they're on a
date at church.

602
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,560
At church which?
Has happened to me before.

603
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,800
I'm sorry.
That is, that is an actual

604
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,160
experience I had where someone
asked if they could Take Me Out

605
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,800
and we ended up going to church
with his family and his six

606
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,400
sisters.
No.

607
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:44,400
I am so intrigued at the whole
story here.

608
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,240
Yeah, so wait.
Did.

609
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:53,360
You please. 1A dude, funny.
I was in high school, OK.

610
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,720
Say more.
Yeah, so I I didn't, he asked if

611
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,600
I wanted to hang out and it was
a Wednesday night and he waited

612
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,480
until the day of to be like, oh,
yeah, I have to go to church.

613
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,800
Do you just want to like come to
which I did tentatively agree to

614
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,440
because I felt like I'd already,
like, committed.

615
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,640
And I lived in a rural area, so
like.

616
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,400
I don't know there.
Wasn't a lot of hanging out to

617
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,000
do, but yeah.
And then afterwards he was like,

618
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,680
oh, we're gonna go back to my
house.

619
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,040
And then like.
So I had to meet his like,

620
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,240
parents and all of his sisters.
We were like 16.

621
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,000
We had to keep the door open.
Wasn't nothing gonna happen

622
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,880
anyway, but.
Because.

623
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,360
Of church.
I am so sorry.

624
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,960
How was this not an?
Anecdote in like a thick or an

625
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,360
actual book like yeah, I don't
know what pairing it's gonna

626
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,960
because it's like which of our
thick who would go to church

627
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,240
but.
I don't know, but in any case,

628
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,600
Sam Sadie's goes to church.
I'm so glad I know this about

629
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,320
you now though.
I'm glad to have enlightened

630
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,440
think about it.
Yes, Sam said.

631
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,880
He has to go to church.
Sam.

632
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,080
Being the best part of this
episode makes an offering of a

633
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,760
clean STI panel.
Yes he does.

634
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,960
I love him so much.
Delightful little goober.

635
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:22,920
And so they go to church and
like, there Mercedes is like

636
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,360
still having this conversation
about like, you know, back and

637
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,719
forth, like, I'm still not
entirely sure why I wanna have

638
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:28,880
sex.
And like, my religion's really

639
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,920
important to me.
And it's like, aha, Mercedes,

640
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:31,800
keep going.
Keep.

641
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,679
You're almost there, girl.
You're.

642
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,480
So close.
But.

643
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,960
Yep, come on, say just more,
more turns.

644
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,159
Out that they're only at church
because Miss Mercedes needs to

645
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:48,719
sing and I love you so much and
your voice is amazing but girly

646
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,040
pop please face the congregation
while you sing she's.

647
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,960
Singing directly to the pastor?
Yeah.

648
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,560
Please turn around, Deacon.
Or whatever you know.

649
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,840
The the, the sermon, man, please
turn around.

650
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,240
Please turn around.
She says.

651
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:06,800
The funniest thing on earth to
me, Sam, is basically like, this

652
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,000
is going on forever and
everything hurts and Mercedes

653
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,480
goes, Maybe you just need to
grow a church cushion.

654
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,760
So we've got fat shaving on one
side and then church cushions on

655
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,840
the other.
Maybe Blaine should have gone to

656
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,160
church instead.
Blaine.

657
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:24,320
Needed a Mercedes on his side in
this episode.

658
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,800
Yeah.
And the entire time, this whole

659
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,840
episode, I'm just rocking back
and forth going, please don't

660
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,840
convert, Sam.
Please don't convert right.

661
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,600
But.
It was, All in all, an

662
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,520
incredibly sweet little scene
for being at church.

663
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,960
I still didn't love the music,
but you know.

664
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,120
It.
Was it was just, you know.

665
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,120
The docent tones of Amber Riley,
just like, you know, falling

666
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,760
over my my, my brain.
But like, nothing particularly

667
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,880
special about the song.
Like I really.

668
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,160
Like the original song?
Yeah.

669
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,160
This person I want to know what?
Love is, yeah, it's it's a

670
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,240
weird.
Like I don't want to conflate.

671
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,600
Well, I know she will because
this is her religion.

672
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,720
But like, I don't want to
conflate love and religion.

673
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,600
Or.
Like fully conflate love and

674
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,040
sex, right 'cause you don't have
to combine them.

675
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,880
Nope.
But she will, can, and she.

676
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,400
Talks about doing it, yeah.
But yeah, you don't have to.

677
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,880
A lot of people don't.
Yeah, it's what was the

678
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,360
beautiful gowns, Yeah.
OK, great, great gowns,

679
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,680
beautiful gowns.
But yeah, their, their storyline

680
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,560
is fast.
It it is.

681
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,600
It's like a 3 minute
conversation over 40 minutes.

682
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:47,000
Like, OK, come on, we know
what's happening here.

683
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,800
Kind of the same with Klain I
guess.

684
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,920
Yeah, where?
We're back at fencing, their

685
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,680
semester long fencing class and
now their their dude is talking

686
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,000
about like half of them are
going to be Athenians and half

687
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,640
of them are going to be
Spartans.

688
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,240
So we're doing shirts and skins
and of course, Kurt is like

689
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:11,640
skins, please, because Chris
Colfer wrote this episode and

690
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,680
you see him get to practice his
little knife trick thing when

691
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,240
they're playing with swords and
Shields and not his little knife

692
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:21,760
trick thing like Kurt, Chris.
Like, come on, buddy.

693
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,120
This is not the Chris Colfer
show.

694
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,440
But he gets the voice over of
talking about how he is proud of

695
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,440
his new body and that his
outside self is finally catching

696
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,080
up to his inside self.
I do.

697
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,520
Not buy that I do not.
I don't buy.

698
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:39,080
It either Nope.
And like.

699
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,560
No version, no version of Kurt
I've ever met thinks that this

700
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,320
is the guy.
Yeah.

701
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,240
I need someone smarter to
explain to me like a dude maybe,

702
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:55,000
I don't know.
I honestly think yeah.

703
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,120
And and it this is actually one
of those things I would, I kind

704
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,760
of wish we had like an actual
gay male perspective.

705
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,800
Yeah, to I do believe that this
attitude is.

706
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:06,800
It's.
A common gay male thing.

707
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,560
It's just not a Kurt Hummel
thing.

708
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,760
Yeah.
Like they.

709
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,480
Didn't write Kurt having that
experience in a way that seemed

710
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,320
realistic to the Kurt they've
already written, right?

711
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,720
Yeah, yeah.
This is like Kurt 4 point O

712
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:26,560
without having gone through 2-3
and like right?

713
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,240
Like.
Who is this guy?

714
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,760
Even could have done like a two
or three episode arc where like

715
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,280
Kurt was meeting people, being
influenced by people starting to

716
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,360
go to the gym, like starting to
like unpack some internalized

717
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,600
shit from like high school,
whatever.

718
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,400
But they didn't.
So instead, again, we're just

719
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,600
like, all right, we're just
going to tell you this is this

720
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,200
is Kurt now.
Yeah, because.

721
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:49,520
You.
Yeah, go ahead.

722
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,720
No.
Just again, you know, it's Oh my

723
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:53,120
gosh, I'm so proud of my new
body.

724
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,760
I'm like, yeah, that you've been
working on for four whole

725
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,080
minutes.
Great.

726
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,120
Yeah, exactly because.
You weren't you like 2 episodes

727
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:05,360
ago doing breakfast in bed and
you know, going on strolls and,

728
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,560
you know, being just cute and
soft and in love.

729
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,840
And now it's so important for
you to like you're not using

730
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,360
like if he were using the gym as
like a stress method.

731
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:22,360
If he were using it as you know,
if it was a, a required class,

732
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,720
if he had a rehab of some kind,
like if, if he had an excuse to

733
00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:30,760
like a like a story excuse to be
doing this work, then like, I'd

734
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,200
buy it.
But they could have even they

735
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,200
could have even tied it in with
like he was beaten up in the

736
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,240
bash episode and decided he
wanted to like be able to defend

737
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:43,360
himself more.
But again, no, this was totally

738
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,360
packed in there, Yeah.
I wanna, I wanna look scarier.

739
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,320
I wanna feel more intimidating.
I'm scared all the time now and

740
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,920
this is something I can do to
take control back from my life

741
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,120
that would have.
Made sense?

742
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:56,760
Yeah, but it's.
Glee.

743
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,160
But and now.
Others are seeing me this way

744
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,200
and I can't change that.
Like dude.

745
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,160
Because.
You see him in the back kind of

746
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,840
talking to these other dudes and
it's we don't really ever see

747
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,920
him talking to other people
outside of the core Glee, no

748
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,360
team.
So you don't really get a sense

749
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,000
that he's being influenced by
other people.

750
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,960
And now that we're kind of, I
think we've lost Elliot, I

751
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,200
think.
That.

752
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,160
His yeah, I think that was his
last appearance.

753
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:32,120
And it's not like Elliot's out
there pumping iron, right?

754
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,960
So yeah, any lead up to any
storyline ever would be nice.

755
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,480
From Glee.
RIP.

756
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,640
RIP.
But he's talking about how well

757
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,840
he's inner monologuing, how
Blaine is struggling, and that

758
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,960
he has to be mindful of Blaine
because he's being tested and

759
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,280
they're being tested as a
couple.

760
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,880
But he can't let his new
confidence erode Blaine's.

761
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,240
What does this even?
Mean I need Kurt to go on a self

762
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:03,360
discovery adventure because this
is not the answer.

763
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:05,960
No, he's not.
In care for.

764
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,280
This, that's ain't it, Kurt
saying.

765
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,920
It.
He's just a Dick in these

766
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:11,920
episodes.
He really is.

767
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,640
He really, really is.
This is definitely when I'm

768
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,800
like, I love Klain, although I
think in a lot of these ways I

769
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,960
like thick Klain more than fan.
You know it's fan and clean, not

770
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,520
fan and clean.
Fan and clean like cuz at this

771
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,520
point like and we'll talk about
it when we get to their like

772
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:31,960
conversation at the end of the
episode.

773
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,360
But I'm sitting here going like,
so why are you 2 still together?

774
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,920
Yeah.
No, this is this is like they

775
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,920
successfully focus their
relationship so much on the

776
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,320
problems that you end up
thinking, all right, well, like

777
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,320
you're both better off with
someone else though blame.

778
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,640
No, you're not better off with
who you end up with, but still.

779
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,000
Theoretically, I don't.
I deny that that happens.

780
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,400
Yeah.
Well, cuz later, so Blaine comes

781
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,920
home or whatever and Kurt's
like, oh, we should have a date

782
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,600
night, just you and me.
And Blaine, I guess has already

783
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,520
been cooking this like
fettuccine.

784
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,200
What else did you say?
Fettuccine.

785
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,240
He's got a lava cake of some
kind.

786
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,840
A lava.
Cake and something else.

787
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,480
It's like kind of a heavy
dinner.

788
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,600
And Kurt mentions it and
Blaine's like, when?

789
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,920
Since when are you manorexic?
Which is like a buzz term that

790
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,680
was around during this time,
right?

791
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:30,200
And Kurt gives them.
The speech about, like, well, as

792
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,680
actors, our bodies are our
instruments.

793
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,640
And he tells, like, so mine's
getting a little out of tune

794
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,240
because he's gained 15 ounces.
And yeah, it's like a weird,

795
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,200
like, are you calling him fat
right to his face?

796
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,360
What are we doing here?
Yeah.

797
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:48,800
Is that what is this
conversation?

798
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,680
Yeah.
Is that what you're saying

799
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,320
'cause that is basically what?
He sounds like.

800
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,840
That's what you're saying.
Sounds like what you're saying,

801
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,520
like conversation isn't whoa,
that is high in cholesterol.

802
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,840
Well, that's a lot of cream.
My tummy can't handle that.

803
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,840
Yeah.
Like for me fettuccine would be

804
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,720
like where is the lactaid before
we partake?

805
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,680
Like though you can result in a
romantic date.

806
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,600
No, not no.
You make your choice plain.

807
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,760
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I
would love the fettuccine or the

808
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,280
middle thing or the lava cake,
but all together it's gonna end

809
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,160
up with me making very sad
noises on the couch.

810
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,480
All together, we're not gonna
have a good time later, no.

811
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,080
There's gonna be no, There's
gonna be nothing.

812
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,640
Pornographic, nothing.
Nothing.

813
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,600
Absolutely not.
And Kurt's like, well, let's

814
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,000
let's skip the fettuccine and
walk to the movie and get a

815
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,360
salad.
Are they not?

816
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,200
Are they not walking to the
movie before?

817
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:46,760
I know.
How else are you getting to the

818
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,240
movie, getting in your car?
What are?

819
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,280
You doing what it?
It's is it so far away you're

820
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,920
taking the subway?
What are we and if it's town?

821
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,840
Car.
Yeah, you're taking Rich's Town

822
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,480
Car, are you?
This spring.

823
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,520
I don't.
Is Uber around in 2014?

824
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,320
Like how else are you it?
What?

825
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:03,640
Was this?
Plan guys.

826
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,440
What was and is it so far away
that you're taking the subway

827
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,080
and then you're gonna walk that
distance?

828
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,520
EW, no.
What?

829
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,960
What what are you doing?
The skin is.

830
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,440
Salad.
We're not gonna eat pasta.

831
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,000
We need a salad.
Fuck yourself.

832
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,160
The whole.
Thing about like it and Blaine

833
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,520
is trying so hard to just like
acquiesce.

834
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,920
He's like, you know what,
fucking fine, it'll keep.

835
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,360
Let me enlighten you, beloved
audience.

836
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:33,480
If you've never made a a keep
fettuccine or a cheese sauce

837
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,640
from scratch, that shit don't
keep.

838
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,840
That shit separates immediately.
The nanosecond it gets cold, it

839
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,400
will split.
Yeah, you cannot keep it.

840
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,200
You cannot reheat it.
Also.

841
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,800
And have it and have it be the
same.

842
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,640
You cannot do it.
Absolutely not.

843
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,520
Like.
One of Kurt's characteristics

844
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,160
before was that he loved cooking
too, so that kind of makes me

845
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,600
sad that he's just like.
Yeah, like.

846
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,920
Surely he would understand these
things and be like, OK, so you

847
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,440
really just, like, shitting on
every aspect of everything

848
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,480
Blaine is trying to do right
now, Yeah.

849
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,360
Which he's kind of been doing
for a while, yes.

850
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,280
He has been, he's like, I, you
know, you're in my house, but

851
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,520
like, I don't like what you've
done with my house.

852
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,440
So get out dude.
Right.

853
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,400
Like this isn't new.
As soon you can't move my stuff.

854
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,760
I thought it was our stuff.
Like I there's a lot about Kurt

855
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,840
that's really not it.
Really.

856
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,240
It honestly just reads like Kurt
is trapped in his high school

857
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:33,520
relationship that he does not
want to be in anymore.

858
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:38,520
Yeah.
There, there is a, I don't even

859
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,760
know if it's an undercurrent,
but a current of like followed

860
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,400
me to New York and I don't want
you here.

861
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,200
And I don't know how to tell you
how to go away.

862
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,640
Yes.
So loud actually that is 100%

863
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,880
the vibe it just and.
And I remember so much of the

864
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,840
phantom conversation on Tumblr
and I was never a a Twitter

865
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,040
person, but like on Tumblr of,
of you guys are being so mean to

866
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,120
Kurt.
I, I don't know if we're

867
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,600
watching the same show, but like
he's being mean to Blaine.

868
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,560
There was definitely like the
Kurt faction, which was really

869
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,400
the Chris faction, right and the
Blaine faction, which was the

870
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:18,080
Darren faction.
Or like, do you are you mad?

871
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:23,640
Yeah of do you support Kurt's
decisions and what he said?

872
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,040
Are you supporting Blaine?
And like, I'm, I'm just watching

873
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,680
the show, man.
I don't know what to tell you,

874
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:33,520
but I'm being an asshole and I'm
not placing that on Chris.

875
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,920
I.
Was always more of a cleaner and

876
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,600
this is the time I started
really checking out of the

877
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,000
fandom because it was like
there's nothing left to.

878
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:43,320
Right.
To.

879
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,160
Claim about anymore that makes
me feel good about these two

880
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,120
characters.
Like how am I supposed to write

881
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,840
fick based on Canon when this is
the Canon, right?

882
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,360
I didn't.
Like, I didn't like how Blaine

883
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:58,560
was acting either, but in that
sense that like, I wanted Blaine

884
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,440
to stop trying.
Yeah.

885
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,480
I I wanted Blaine to, like, give
up on this relationship that

886
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,560
Kurt had clearly already given
up on.

887
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:07,480
Yeah.
Like.

888
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,520
Just stop, Blaine.
Stop.

889
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:15,160
Stop doing this to yourself.
Yeah, totally.

890
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:16,840
And we'll get.
We'll get there at the end of

891
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,400
the episode, but Mandy, I think
you and I have very similar

892
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,080
thoughts.
Yeah, and then so Kurt's going

893
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,200
to go look up for a movie and he
finds porn on Blaine's laptop

894
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:29,800
and he also.
I forgot this happened and this.

895
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,360
Totally forgot this happened too
and he gets pissed off because

896
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,360
they haven't had sex in a week.
First of all, Oh no.

897
00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:40,560
Oh.
No the.

898
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:45,640
Fact that they have been having
sex like that regularly in an

899
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,920
apartment with no walls.
OK, well, now Blaine lives at

900
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,200
Mercedes Place.
That's true.

901
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:52,320
That's.
True.

902
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,160
So who's traveling where?
Dude, Yeah.

903
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:03,200
Also though, let me just state
for the record, let's see what

904
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:10,520
so Kurt finds the porn.
It's frat boy physicals.

905
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,520
For a minute I was like, is that
porn or is Blaine trying to look

906
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,200
up workouts at?
First I thought.

907
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,880
He was looking up workouts.
Are they really like sexy

908
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,280
workouts?
I know.

909
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,000
That's what I thought at first
too, and I'm.

910
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,640
Sitting here going, I'm still
entirely convinced it was just

911
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:25,880
porn.
I'm not convinced.

912
00:48:26,720 --> 00:48:28,800
Like are you mad at him for
looking up workouts?

913
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,040
It was more embarrassing to
admit that.

914
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,640
So it was just like, yeah, it's
porn, yeah.

915
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,680
It's fine.
He was doing Taibo and he was

916
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,520
like, never mind.
It's.

917
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,360
The it's the.
It's the.

918
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,640
It's the Prancer size event all
over again.

919
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,840
Oh.
Yes, that was hot, though, that

920
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,760
was.
Hot oh prancer size.

921
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:54,040
Low green booty shorts but like.
He Kurt gets so mad he gets.

922
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:58,000
So mad.
In a way that it's like, are you

923
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,240
really gonna be that upset if a
partner introduces pornography

924
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,520
into your sex life?
Really.

925
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,560
Is that, Is that the hell you're
gonna die on here 'cause like,

926
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,640
whoa, buddy.
Kinda kinda just shocked me that

927
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,760
that would even be a thing.
They're two teenage guys.

928
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,200
Yes.
Like unless Kurt really is one

929
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,280
of those, like, I've never
looked at porn in my life.

930
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:26,000
I mean, which at one point we
know he was, but right, I don't

931
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:26,840
know.
He's 19.

932
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,280
He's got a lot more life
experience.

933
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,760
I.
Dressed.

934
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,400
I have.
I have so many questions and

935
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:39,920
none of them are nice.
Like my notes at this point is

936
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,840
Kurt is period and Blaine is
period.

937
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,400
I was just as like what?
There's no answer here.

938
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,840
Yeah.
But.

939
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,520
Also it's his reaction is also
it's to stomp out while Blaine's

940
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,040
like hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on.

941
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,720
Then he's just like, goodbye,
no, no talkie.

942
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,280
So you're now telling me that
you've cancelled your date night

943
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,440
and his Alfredo?
You're gonna ask him to eat all

944
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,720
of that alone?
Blame.

945
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:08,080
Well, he's got it.
And the lava cake.

946
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,600
And the lava cake.
At that point, if I were Blaine,

947
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,560
I wouldn't be sharing even if
Kurt was like, all right, well,

948
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,400
let's have dinner now.
Be like no, no, no, no.

949
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,280
No, go eat your fucking salad.
You go eat.

950
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,040
Your fucking the fact that he
wanted to pick up a salad on the

951
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,320
way to the movies, Yeah.
What do you want to munch grass

952
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:24,680
in the theater?
What are we doing?

953
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:28,960
No, Kurt.
Yes.

954
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,160
This whole none of this is
endearing me to Mr. Hummel right

955
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,400
now.
None of it.

956
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,080
Bert's going to be so
disappointed.

957
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:43,000
Truly losing a son-in-law.
I mean this Rachel Mercedes

958
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,360
scene I'm just like meh I.
Just did not give a shit about

959
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,560
it.
The fact that we didn't get

960
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,640
Rachel until halfway through
this episode was pretty neat.

961
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:51,840
It was.
Pretty neat.

962
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:56,040
I was like, I was wondering if
Leah had prior commitments which

963
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,280
is why she wasn't hardly in this
episode I did feel.

964
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,480
Like the scene only existed to,
like, shove her in there a

965
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,600
little bit, though, yeah.
But yeah, they're just talking

966
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,600
about like, what was your first
time Rachel?

967
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,520
Like when it was, oh, it was
special cuz it was Finn.

968
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,840
Like, OK, cool.
Finn, yeah.

969
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,360
Finn mentioned without
mentioning his name, which was

970
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:13,880
incorrect.
I don't.

971
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:16,480
Know what?
That was about.

972
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,960
Maybe it was in one of the
earlier drafts and it just

973
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,800
didn't make a cut.
Could be yeah 'cause they

974
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:24,840
mentioned.
By lane later.

975
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:31,120
Yeah, they do so, but that does
bring us back to more fencing.

976
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:35,920
I love that the teacher is like
safety for a safety last safety

977
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,480
always.
And then he's like, you don't

978
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,240
get real blades yet.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no

979
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,120
safety for a safety.
Last safety always, never real

980
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,520
blades.
Never get real blades.

981
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:47,760
What do you get?
Blades.

982
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,320
Never real bullets.
Never.

983
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:52,760
Never.
Never.

984
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,640
Blaine.
Blasts into this class 'cause he

985
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:01,240
is pissed they were supposed to
meet at the diner to walk to

986
00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:04,200
class together and Kurt was like
oh I got off early and forgot to

987
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:05,800
text you.
Oh, did you?

988
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:10,200
Seems like a bitch who doesn't
wanna be there.

989
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:10,620
Yeah.
Mm.

990
00:52:10,620 --> 00:52:12,200
Hmm.
The.

991
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,760
Look I I love Darren's acting
when he is mad.

992
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,080
I look his exaggerated, trying
not to cry face.

993
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:23,560
So.
Like.

994
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,200
Clearly, Darren cannot get the
tears, so he's just like, I'm

995
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,760
gonna act like, yeah, my entire
face is just, like, crumpled up,

996
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,720
yeah.
That man has an Emmy and a Tony,

997
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:34,800
Yes.
He does.

998
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,040
Look where we started.
Yeah, I love it.

999
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,480
I think this is.
Why He has an Emmy and a Tony?

1000
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,480
Yeah.
Started at clown college and

1001
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,400
look where we are, but they're
they're doing some stage

1002
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,280
webinar.
They got these big Bo Staffs.

1003
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:53,280
Blaine wants to talk and Kurt's
like we talk too much like no,

1004
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,080
you don't you don't talk at all.
I don't talk at.

1005
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,640
All I will say though, I know
that this was supposed to be

1006
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,640
sexy coded because we have Kurt
Hummel and a sexy black tank

1007
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,120
top.
Yes, that's how you know things

1008
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,120
are serious.
Is a sexy black tank top.

1009
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,120
Things are serious.
A man in a dress is dead.

1010
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,080
Dead.
One of my favorite all time

1011
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:18,520
lines but they they get to
perform to love as a battlefield

1012
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,080
doing choreographed fight
dancing, no.

1013
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:40,560
One can tell us we're old,
searching our hearts for solo,

1014
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:47,040
both of us knowing love is a
battlefield.

1015
00:53:54,330 --> 00:53:57,490
Dance Fighting.
Another bit I remember getting

1016
00:53:57,490 --> 00:53:59,730
the behind the scenes of and
thinking it might be something

1017
00:53:59,730 --> 00:54:02,090
really good, and then it just
turns out it was more pain,

1018
00:54:02,690 --> 00:54:03,530
yeah.
Mm hmm.

1019
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,920
Like, oh, this is gonna be fun.
Like, oh, no, they're, they're,

1020
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,760
they're fighting, fighting.
They're fighting.

1021
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,360
The girls were fighting.
The girls were fighting and at

1022
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,320
this point I don't.
Remember, at this point we had

1023
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,240
realized that if they have a
scene together, they're

1024
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:16,800
fighting.
But.

1025
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,800
I didn't know that we had.
Caught on to that pattern yet?

1026
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,040
Yeah.
I I don't remember either 'cause

1027
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,440
this is definitely in the era
where you're like, more clean.

1028
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,080
You're like actually less clean
less.

1029
00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:28,840
Clean like at this.
Point We just go back to them

1030
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,800
sitting in the the choir room by
each other.

1031
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,200
Well, 'cause isn't, don't they
break up again, 'cause doesn't,

1032
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,120
don't, don't.
Stupid decisions have to be

1033
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,320
made, so they have to break up.
Oh yeah, they're gonna break up

1034
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,800
real soon, yeah.
Well, I haven't seen this, so

1035
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,280
like, I just, I'm assuming, but
at this point they've actually

1036
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,080
written a story that makes me
agree with that point.

1037
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,040
Yeah.
Yeah.

1038
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:52,360
They're gonna break up real
soon.

1039
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,400
Great.
'Cause right now neither of you

1040
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,640
need to be in this relationship
and like.

1041
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,400
Their their fighting gets a
little too real, a little too

1042
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,720
intense.
Kurt gets like mean character

1043
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:03,840
bleed.
What?

1044
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,680
I mean character.
Blade character blade character

1045
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,760
blade cuz.
Again, I've talked about this in

1046
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:10,920
the past.
There are times where you're

1047
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,520
like, Chris, I need you to
actually act a little harder

1048
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:14,400
here.
You're supposed to be in love

1049
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:15,640
with this guy.
Yeah, you're.

1050
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,880
Supposed to.
All I'm seeing is that you don't

1051
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,560
want to be in the scene.
And instead here I get, like,

1052
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,360
Chris, are you, you OK?
Yeah.

1053
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,200
Yeah.
And so Blaine is like, hurt and

1054
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:34,640
hurt and walks off.
Hitting your partner's not good,

1055
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:36,000
no.
It's not good.

1056
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:37,280
It's not.
Great.

1057
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:40,800
Yeah.
This is all bad.

1058
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,080
This is all bad for them, and
it's bad for us because they've

1059
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,520
broken up in the past.
They're supposed to be engaged.

1060
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:57,320
I don't I, I'm trying to think
of like realism in my media.

1061
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,240
I don't need that realism like.
Like.

1062
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,080
We've asked for realism in the
past of like how the fuck are

1063
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,080
these people flying or training
back and forth between Lima and

1064
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,720
New York?
But like, not in the

1065
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:11,120
relationship.
I don't need Klain to be like a

1066
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:15,560
real 19 year old couple, I just.
Think about the show is that I

1067
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,840
mean, we have a 19 year old
starring in Broadway.

1068
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,200
Like you don't need to pick this
one thing to be realistic about.

1069
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,680
No, just.
Make them fucking happy for

1070
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,320
once.
For once, like, and not in the

1071
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,800
last two episodes of the final
season.

1072
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:36,600
Nah, it's very upsetting.
And it's like, is it because

1073
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,800
they're the gay couple that we
can't just have them happy the

1074
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,200
entire time?
Maybe because now.

1075
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:42,720
They're the main couple of the
show.

1076
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,800
There's no one else.
I mean, Sam and Mercedes are

1077
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,000
actively getting together, so
they're in that like getting

1078
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,920
together stage.
So this is our established

1079
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:56,120
couple and you can't just let
them fucking be happy we didn't

1080
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:56,960
have a date.
They're not.

1081
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,600
We don't get them on a date.
We never do, no.

1082
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,120
Like.
Once they're engaged or even

1083
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,680
dating like you don't get them
happy.

1084
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:10,680
Even the two times we get them,
like, about to eat a cute meal

1085
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,480
when, like, Blaine is making it
at home, it turns into like a

1086
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,560
kind of an angsty situation.
Yeah, every.

1087
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:16,960
Time you make me.
Feel so young.

1088
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,920
Kurt was just like, so put off,
yeah.

1089
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,560
Yeah, that's that scene drives
me crazy because it could be

1090
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:28,440
adorable and and it was like
Chris was on laudanum.

1091
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:29,880
He's.
Just.

1092
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,000
Yeah, he's.
Not there.

1093
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,320
Like, I don't know, take your
personal shit home, man.

1094
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,800
You're getting paid for this.
Yeah, and I'm paying with my

1095
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,960
time to watch it.
We are.

1096
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,040
Paying so hard that how many
years later we're still sitting

1097
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,480
here talking about it still?
Right, talking about it,

1098
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:48,560
there's.
More I'm.

1099
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:51,600
Help I'm still at the
restaurant.

1100
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:53,440
I'm.
Still at the restaurant?

1101
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:55,640
Exactly.
Well, Speaking of the

1102
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,560
restaurant, we got Sam and
Mercedes on a date at the

1103
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:02,080
Spotlight Diner and then Julie
and already show up on their

1104
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,400
date.
But two different.

1105
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,040
Conversations happening and
just.

1106
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,200
My favorite plot line of the
entire episode.

1107
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,360
The STD plot line.
I can't believe.

1108
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,760
Artie is hallucinating St.
DS everywhere 'cause he is

1109
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:23,680
trying so hard not to tell Julie
that he is actively contagious.

1110
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,640
He's like, I really like you,
but I think we shouldn't have

1111
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:31,800
sex for seven to 10 days and
Julia's like, you are fucking

1112
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,000
weird.
We met an hour ago.

1113
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,200
Well, you know, but like we just
agreed to go on a date.

1114
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,240
I wasn't even thinking about
that bro.

1115
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:42,080
Broski.
And every line is like, hey, can

1116
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,120
I get you a side of herpes?
Would you?

1117
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,000
Recommend the wart burger with
grilled scabies or the

1118
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,160
fettuccine and chlamydia sauce.
You know people.

1119
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,240
Love our wart burger but I would
go with the chlamydia

1120
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:53,920
fettuccine.
It's my personal favorite thing

1121
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,720
from the menu.
Oh look it's someones birthday.

1122
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:58,720
Clap, clap.
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

1123
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:03,840
I think that this is the only
scene that Chris had fun with in

1124
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,360
like, the entire episode, yeah.
Yeah, it was pretty.

1125
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,360
It was fun the way they, like,
brought in like.

1126
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:14,320
Yeah, today's on the menu HIV.
As I was watching it, I was

1127
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,080
like, they absolutely, because
Jenna was not currently on the

1128
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,320
show, just gave Kevin a Tina
episode 'cause this, this felt

1129
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:23,760
like something Tina would have
gone through.

1130
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,480
Yes, you're right.
Just like the hallucinating

1131
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,880
things, random costume like
yeah, you're.

1132
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,400
Right.
This was a Tina storyline.

1133
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,600
Yeah.
You know what?

1134
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,480
Though good for her not having
the storyline.

1135
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,680
Yeah, yeah, no.
No, she dodged a bullet.

1136
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,440
She dodged a disease.
Congratulations.

1137
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:46,520
And on the other hand, we have,
on the other hand, we have what

1138
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:50,840
happened there?
We have Mercedes and Sam having

1139
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:54,400
a little date.
And Mercedes doesn't want Sam

1140
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,280
assuming that just because he's,
like, paying for dinner and

1141
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,800
taking her out, that he's going
to get sex in return.

1142
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:05,600
And Sam's like, yeah, I know.
I don't suck that bad.

1143
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,040
Yeah.
I'm I'm I'm an imbo but I'm not

1144
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,160
like the worst.
Yeah, I'm a himbo, but I'm not

1145
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,640
an asshole because we love Sam
now.

1146
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,880
Yeah.
And the four of them saying

1147
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,840
let's wait a while.
And I fast forwarded through it.

1148
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,560
So I don't know what happened.
Nothing.

1149
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,920
Nothing happened.
They sang and walked down that

1150
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,000
same stretch of bridge.
That's.

1151
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,520
What I assumed happened, yeah,
nothing happened.

1152
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,240
Just like in the bedroom.
Oh.

1153
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,560
So Mercedes goes back to her
church to pray for guidance and

1154
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:50,920
she tells Sam that like, you
know, she she has come to the

1155
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,880
conclusion that she does want to
wait until marriage to have sex.

1156
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,360
Like she has come to the
conclusion that we have all

1157
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,520
came, that we came to for her
seven years ago.

1158
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,560
Yep.
Like, like we've been new.

1159
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:09,880
We know we got you and Sam's
like, I can't get married in a

1160
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:14,960
couple weeks and I love that
that's his like goat.

1161
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,840
He was like, well, I'm I'm not
ready to get married.

1162
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,640
I I.
I'm I love that that was his

1163
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,040
answer.
It's not no, I won't do that or

1164
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,640
no, that's really stupid.
It's well, I can't get married

1165
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,760
in a few weeks.
I'm not ready for that.

1166
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:30,120
I don't.
Have a tux?

1167
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:35,520
It just my sweet guy, sweet guy,
sweet boy.

1168
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,000
What a cutey.
Sweetie boy.

1169
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:44,160
But he is like a little
frustrated, which I think is a

1170
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,400
good reaction.
Like I, I think it wouldn't have

1171
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:50,000
made sense for him just to be
like, OK, he does.

1172
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,840
He's 19.
He wants some time to think

1173
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,040
about it.
Which?

1174
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,880
I think is very reasonable for
their situation.

1175
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:04,520
Yeah, this, this conversation
drove me crazy in that the way

1176
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,680
that nobody cares more about sex
than virgins.

1177
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:12,280
Yeah, nobody cares more about
sex and how to have it and where

1178
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,480
to have it and how much of it to
have than virgins, particularly

1179
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,200
like religious virgins.
Oh, religious people are the

1180
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:21,760
ones who care the most.
They.

1181
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:26,680
Care like Mercedes cares so much
about like who and when and how

1182
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:30,560
and like, I get it, I do, but
like, nobody cares more about.

1183
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,720
Like other.
People's sex lives than than

1184
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,840
virgins there's also.
The virginity is a construct

1185
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:42,160
conversation, correct?
And again, the way that virgin,

1186
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,200
that virgins, particularly
religious virgins care about

1187
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:51,200
husbands and loyalty, it's I'm
only gonna give this part of

1188
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:56,720
myself to one person.
And it's got a habit in this

1189
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,880
specific way.
And I'm, I'm just like, I know

1190
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:03,920
that it feels that way because
of, you know, the experiences

1191
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,320
that you've had, but I promise
it's not actually that way,

1192
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,320
which.
Automatically casts moral

1193
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,840
aspersions on everybody else
around them, correct?

1194
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,720
And I just like it's, you know,
I want to have a husband and

1195
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:23,520
that husband is going to be
loyal to this whatever because

1196
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:28,560
husbands are notoriously loyal.
Yes to their sexual.

1197
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,280
Partners.
That is the thing that husbands

1198
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,120
historically have been really
good at so.

1199
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,680
Good.
Insert sarcasm here SO.

1200
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,400
The thing about this podcast is
sarcastic.

1201
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,760
We are fully.
Genuine and sincere at all.

1202
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:47,320
Times But yeah, it kind of it
kind of rankled rankled my

1203
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,520
everything a little bit and the
actual interesting part of this

1204
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:57,040
conversation for me and not to
say that like the restaurant

1205
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:01,600
wasn't important, but I really
appreciate Sam's talking about.

1206
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:07,640
Well, if the if all we're doing
is the emotional intimacy and

1207
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,800
the hanging out and living
together, that's just really

1208
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:15,920
good friends because without the
sex it's just really good

1209
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,360
friends.
Yeah and on the one hand I'm

1210
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,720
like, yes, queer, queer platonic
relationships and how do you

1211
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:28,160
develop the kind of loyalty and
stick to it Ness and ride or die

1212
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,160
that you have with a partner
versus a friend.

1213
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:31,720
But they're too young for that
shit.

1214
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:34,920
Sure.
And also the entire point of a

1215
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:39,120
queer platonic relationship is
that it's queer that that that

1216
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,320
that's actually kind of a part
of that.

1217
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,840
It's actually kind of kind of
intrinsic to the type of

1218
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:50,720
relationship that is.
So I am not mad about Sam's like

1219
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,520
analysis here.
It's.

1220
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:57,320
Like I.
Without this, we're just really

1221
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:01,360
good friends, and that's fine.
But it's not.

1222
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:03,840
It's not what I'm asking for
best.

1223
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,120
Bros.
And Mercedes trying to get Sam

1224
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:11,320
to live a Christian lifestyle
like grinds my gears.

1225
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,260
Yeah, you have to be like me.
Mm.

1226
01:05:14,260 --> 01:05:15,360
Hmm.
For.

1227
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,600
This to work like, well, why
can't you be like Sam, right?

1228
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,560
Which is a Christian problem
across the board.

1229
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,080
Like you have to act like us for
it to work.

1230
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,160
Like why?
Why don't you come closer?

1231
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:30,240
Why don't you step towards me if
you're asking me to step towards

1232
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:35,440
you?
But that's not how they work.

1233
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,200
Nope.
Yeah.

1234
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,880
Yeah, I don't know.
And it's, it's one of those

1235
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,080
things like, like you were
saying, there's like this little

1236
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,560
hint of a really deep
conversation happening.

1237
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:47,720
Yeah, there's a hint of it.
It's in there.

1238
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:49,880
It's like this little.
Tasty.

1239
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,320
Morsel of something and and
maybe it is for the best that

1240
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:57,680
Glee doesn't delve into it,
right, Like like, you know what,

1241
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:58,720
just leave that.
Just leave it.

1242
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,320
Just leave it and the thick
riders and the meta people like

1243
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,400
they'll get into it and you
just, you just leave it, don't

1244
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:05,960
you?
Just leave it.

1245
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:08,960
Don't you do it?
Don't, don't, don't start.

1246
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:10,360
You're going to mess it up.
Don't worry, you're going to.

1247
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,840
Fuck it up and just leave it
alone.

1248
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:15,200
Yeah.
Because.

1249
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,160
Because they're not going to do
it right.

1250
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:19,640
Yeah.
So I mean that's.

1251
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:23,760
Really, for the best, should
just leave it at at the one line

1252
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,760
about maybe we're just good
friends.

1253
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,800
We would just be good friends.
Yeah, which can be frustrating

1254
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:31,280
because then you're left
watching the show going.

1255
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:35,200
I did OK.
Oh, what?

1256
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:40,480
Was that and you just, you just
move on?

1257
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,800
Well.
Are you ready for like the the

1258
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:44,760
the nothing?
Happens to them ever again and

1259
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,720
then then they're fine.
Just, I mean, it's fine, it's

1260
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:48,440
fine.
You know what?

1261
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,080
Frankly, at this point, if this
is what we're left with, I'd

1262
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,200
rather than break up.
Well, they're gonna.

1263
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,320
And they it is.
It is earned by the plot.

1264
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,640
Do you know what?
Else pisses me OK setting the

1265
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:02,000
scene.
Bushwick apartment.

1266
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,640
Pisses you off everything.
Literally everything.

1267
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:07,200
Kurt.
Walks in.

1268
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,520
Do you know what he's wearing?
He's wearing the red pants from

1269
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,680
Don't Speak.
Oh, I didn't even catch that.

1270
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,880
Wow, costuming.
Department and and I think he's

1271
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,240
wearing a black jacket.
So at first when he first walks

1272
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,280
in, he is dressed like don't
speak.

1273
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,120
And I was like, get fucked
costume department.

1274
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:25,720
You didn't have to do that.
I mean, you did.

1275
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,480
They have the best continuity of
any department on that show.

1276
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:31,640
True story.
They're they're the only ones.

1277
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:34,920
They're the only ones literally.
And when he so he takes out the

1278
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,560
jacket now it's like red on red.
So it's not totally the same,

1279
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,480
but for a moment it's black up
top, the red pants on bottom.

1280
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,080
I was like, I'm coming for your
children.

1281
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,600
How?
I saw a different costume

1282
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,040
department it's on site post a
couple days ago and I we we can

1283
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:52,280
talk about it the post show
chatter.

1284
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,000
It's on site.
And I hate it.

1285
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,760
Too.
Like he's on the phone and he's

1286
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,840
like surreptitiously like.
He's.

1287
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:00,800
Here like who the fuck are you
gossiping with?

1288
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,640
How dare you like it sounded
like he was like talking to one

1289
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,840
of his gym Bros.
Like he's here, Rocket, we'll

1290
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,680
talk later.
Like get out of here.

1291
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:09,760
Get out of.
Here.

1292
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,920
Said he's talking to Rachel,
confirming his employees

1293
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,880
attendance for for opening
night.

1294
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,359
And then he brings up and, and
Blaine is like sitting like all

1295
01:08:21,359 --> 01:08:24,439
huddled in on himself, like very
small because Blaine is tiny,

1296
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:30,680
teeny tiny despite his freshman
151413.

1297
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,359
I don't know.
They stop bringing it up and

1298
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,840
he's like, So what?
Compact class?

1299
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,000
What the fuck was that?
And I wanted to be like, I don't

1300
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,840
know, Kurt, what was that?
Yeah.

1301
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,040
The fact that he comes the two
way St.

1302
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,120
There the fact.
That he comes for Blaine in

1303
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,479
this.
I just rage, rage.

1304
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,439
I was shaking.
It was like.

1305
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:52,080
What?
Yeah.

1306
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:53,200
What?
What were you doing?

1307
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,080
What?
Were you doing buddy?

1308
01:08:56,359 --> 01:09:00,319
And Blaine's like, yeah, I, I
Blaine gets the monologue here,

1309
01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:02,680
'cause like, I was trying to
prove that I am as strong as

1310
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,520
you.
Because for the first time, he

1311
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:09,359
feels like he is losing.
And ever since he got to New

1312
01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:14,520
York, that they're in this race
together, but Kurt is farther

1313
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:19,680
ahead and that he is no longer
able to protect Kurt the way he

1314
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:25,399
used to at Dalton and at
McKinley, and that Kurt doesn't

1315
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:29,160
need him anymore.
And he says like, I mean, you

1316
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:30,880
asked.
Me to move out for God's sake

1317
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,160
and the.
Way Blaine slash Darren says

1318
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:41,520
that I was like oh Ouch Ouch and
he's like I don't like the way I

1319
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:45,319
feel about myself anymore and
that they haven't had sex

1320
01:09:45,319 --> 01:09:51,399
because Blaine feels insecure
around Kurt and the whole speech

1321
01:09:51,399 --> 01:09:55,560
is just like ow ow another
bullet ow another bullet another

1322
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,320
ow this is.
Going to get me kicked off the

1323
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,200
show but like.
You.

1324
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:01,920
Should never feel that way
around your partner.

1325
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:04,840
Why would that get you kicked
off the show off?

1326
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,400
Of this show that I think they
should be.

1327
01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:08,480
I think that they should break
up.

1328
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,520
No, this conversation you're
like, you know what, you guys?

1329
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,320
You're in this like, OK, fine.
Because if you are in a

1330
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:20,080
relationship where your partner,
you're like, hey, I actually

1331
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,680
don't like the way I feel about
myself.

1332
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,440
I don't like the way I feel
about myself around you.

1333
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,240
I don't like who I'm becoming in
this.

1334
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:32,080
I feel insecure about you.
I feel insecure about my place

1335
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,320
here like.
You.

1336
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:37,600
Should not be with that person.
This is a relationship that is

1337
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,120
not working.
And.

1338
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:45,320
And the way that Kurt just turns
it around on Blaine Dry Oh.

1339
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,360
It's bad, it's horrible.
It's.

1340
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:49,880
Horrible.
It's bad.

1341
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:51,400
He's not.
He doesn't.

1342
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,600
Not that there's apologies that
need to happen, but there are

1343
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,840
no, there's no comfort.
There's no, we'll keep talking

1344
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,920
about this.
There's no.

1345
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,040
I didn't realize you felt like
this.

1346
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,400
Well, I.
Think Kurt did realize he felt

1347
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:10,440
like that?
He did, too.

1348
01:11:10,440 --> 01:11:13,200
Like, yeah, he pretty much
acknowledged that early in the

1349
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:14,800
episode.
So he just didn't give a shit.

1350
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:15,400
Yeah.
Yeah.

1351
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:17,880
What he?
Says is like, well, maybe it is

1352
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,400
a contest and maybe that's how
it has to be with two guys like

1353
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,000
what the fuck are you talking
about?

1354
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:23,600
And that.
That's why I was like, I kind of

1355
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,560
wish we had like a gay male
perspective, but like, Even so,

1356
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,480
it wouldn't matter because that
wasn't Kurt.

1357
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,600
No, yeah.
And then he does say I'd rather

1358
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,480
be running this race with you
than against you as equals.

1359
01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:37,400
Like, well, then fucking prove
it.

1360
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:39,800
Yeah, I think.
That's in your hands, Kurt.

1361
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,520
I think you can control that,
yeah.

1362
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,760
Like you need to do something.
When was the last time you did

1363
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,840
something for Blaine?
Because the show is showing me

1364
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:51,400
Blaine making you breakfast in
bed every week and not what have

1365
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,960
you done.
Like Blaine showing me him

1366
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:58,720
trying to make you a workspace
in the loft to help divide out

1367
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:04,400
work and home and play it like
to give space and like some

1368
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,560
psychological difference in the
home and you yelling at him.

1369
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,880
The show doesn't show me you
doing anything for Blaine in the

1370
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:19,000
last 30 episodes.
No.

1371
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,720
So what are you?
Doing as an equal other than fat

1372
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:25,480
shaming him and telling him to
eat a salad.

1373
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,440
Like and hitting.
Him with a Bo staff.

1374
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:38,400
The curt hate remains.
Dude dude I, I I was.

1375
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,800
I was tapped out at this point,
but I understand where the curt

1376
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,800
hate came from I think.
I was, yeah.

1377
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,680
I was more of a curt defender at
the time because I wasn't really

1378
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,520
ready to like, let it go.
I guess you're.

1379
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,080
Ready to hear it?
I wasn't.

1380
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,280
Ready to hear it, but we're
watching it now.

1381
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:56,200
Yeah.
I'm.

1382
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,480
I'm just not a fan of this
person.

1383
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,120
Yeah, and.
Someone who just doesn't feel

1384
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:02,800
true to character either.
No it doesn't.

1385
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:09,600
No, not at all.
But if you like, I, I feel like

1386
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:13,960
if you look back, so much of the
pattern is Blaine doing a lot

1387
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,120
for Kurt and not getting a ton
in return.

1388
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:21,360
Yeah.
And I don't know why that's been

1389
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:25,440
the character analysis.
Like, what is going on in the

1390
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:28,920
writers room?
Like, are they just looking at

1391
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:36,240
Blaine as a as a giver as like,
do they look at the actors and

1392
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,400
just think, oh, yeah, that makes
sense for this kid?

1393
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,440
Like, that makes sense.
This one's a little more

1394
01:13:41,440 --> 01:13:42,560
outgoing.
This one's a little more

1395
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,840
reserved.
This makes sense.

1396
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,360
Like, OK, but you have to see
how that plays out over five

1397
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:52,040
years on screen that it it's
really not looking equal.

1398
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,560
But like you know, you
transferred to McKinley for me.

1399
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,960
The.
Entirety of the proposal.

1400
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:04,520
What he did at prom, my God.
What he did at prom, so much of

1401
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:10,640
this has been about about
Blaine, you know, just falling

1402
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,600
head over heels in love with
Kurt and the things that he does

1403
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:18,560
to keep him and, like, blame the
whole time.

1404
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,520
And this whole conversation is
like, I'm just scared you're

1405
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,880
gonna up and leave me.
He shouldn't.

1406
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:24,480
Feel that way?
He shouldn't.

1407
01:14:24,480 --> 01:14:28,520
Feel that way, but he absolutely
deserves to feel that way

1408
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:32,760
because he is being left.
Yeah, it's a realistic feeling.

1409
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,600
As much as he shouldn't have to
feel that way, Like, no, that

1410
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,360
actually is what's happening.
He's not paranoid.

1411
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:41,200
He's not paranoid, no matter
what Kurt is saying.

1412
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,600
It is a little bit of a
gaslighty situation.

1413
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,320
And Blaine's like, I'm reading
the room, I'm reading it

1414
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,520
correctly, and you're just
telling me I'm wrong.

1415
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,800
Yeah, and I'm not wrong.
He's not.

1416
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,360
Wrong.
No.

1417
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:59,760
And it sucks, yeah.
Blaine to, you know, not to, you

1418
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:04,160
know, give away my Clayne hat or
anything, but Blaine deserves a

1419
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,320
better boyfriend than the one
he's got right now.

1420
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,400
I mean.
Yeah, this version is ha

1421
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:13,680
garbage.
Yeah, it.

1422
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:14,480
Is.
It's not.

1423
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,000
It's not the look.
It's not right.

1424
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,360
I don't want it, no.
It's gross and I hate it.

1425
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:26,320
Yeah, yeah.
It's it's no good, I guess, to

1426
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:31,800
round out Artie and Julie.
He does admit to his chlamydia

1427
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,560
diagnosis and that's why he was
being so weird.

1428
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:38,760
And her response is to be mad
that he slept with those

1429
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,120
particular girls because they're
idiots.

1430
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:46,240
Like OK but girl wrong wrong
wrong thing here to talk about.

1431
01:15:47,480 --> 01:15:49,440
Yeah, it's not.
The helpful part of this

1432
01:15:49,440 --> 01:15:52,320
conversation and she's.
Glad that he was honest because

1433
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,640
Artie is a creeper.
He's not wrong.

1434
01:15:56,480 --> 01:15:57,480
They're.
Just not wrong about that.

1435
01:15:57,720 --> 01:15:59,320
Not.
Entirely wrong about that,

1436
01:15:59,440 --> 01:16:02,160
frankly so.
Maybe let's start by being

1437
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:06,200
honest, upfront with people and
not after the fact.

1438
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:15,080
And that is Artie's storyline
being a gross little person at

1439
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:19,760
film school, which is probably
accurate to film school, yeah.

1440
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,960
That feels that feels accurate.
Like I've never been to film

1441
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:27,360
school, but that feels correct.
The tracks, the tracks.

1442
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:35,840
So we do wrap up with Sam and
Mercedes and she he calls

1443
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,600
Mercedes as she is getting home
and there's like a fuck ton of

1444
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,920
candles in the the brownstone
and she's like Blaine.

1445
01:16:44,480 --> 01:16:45,880
Oh, you got all these candles
out.

1446
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,200
You're is a fire hazard.
But it turns out it wasn't

1447
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,680
Blaine.
It was Sam who has lit, I don't

1448
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,880
know, 400 candles, 400.
Candles approximately

1449
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:58,560
approximately 400 candles I.
Sure hope the 118 is at the

1450
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:00,080
ready they're.
They're so.

1451
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:02,760
Inevitable fire that's about to
happen here.

1452
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:07,200
Yeah.
And and Sam has has preyed on

1453
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:13,240
the situation as well.
And I will say, as you know, for

1454
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:17,120
as much as I was not a huge fan
of the like Christianness of

1455
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,120
this episode, Sam popping a
squat and praying in the

1456
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,600
bathroom is the most Christian
thing he could have possibly

1457
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:26,760
done.
Sam took a quiet moment to

1458
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,640
himself.
To.

1459
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,960
Think on and pray on something
that was important to him.

1460
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,080
That's the point.
That's the point of this

1461
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,000
exercise.
So like the fact that he's like,

1462
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:38,360
yeah, I prayed in the bathroom
about it.

1463
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,560
I'm like.
Good, that's.

1464
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:45,280
Jesus would approve, by the way.
Yep, now we don't know who he

1465
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:46,520
prayed to.
Well.

1466
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,280
OK, that's I don't know who he
prayed to, but Jesus would

1467
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,880
approve of the concept.
Like you need to tell me that

1468
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:58,040
Sam took a minute and really
thought about and asked

1469
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:04,120
important questions and like,
considered an answer in the

1470
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:08,760
quiet by himself, which is what
pray is he apparently.

1471
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,960
Did do that I'm so.
Proud of him for understanding

1472
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:13,440
the point.
Sam understood that.

1473
01:18:13,440 --> 01:18:14,800
He, he got it.
He got it.

1474
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:18,320
Good job.
I'm so proud, you know?

1475
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:24,160
And he he has come to the
conclusion that sex is awesome,

1476
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,480
but hearing Mercedes sing is
better.

1477
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:30,800
OK.
And that.

1478
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,640
He can live without sex, but he
can't live without her.

1479
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:38,080
Which I don't agree with on
principle, but like OK now they.

1480
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,840
Haven't brought up masturbation.
Well, we know how Kurt feels

1481
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:43,520
about that.
So.

1482
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:49,760
Kurt is anti masturbation.
Apparently, which is really the

1483
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:51,080
cause of their breakup,
honestly.

1484
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:55,080
I mean, I think Kurt needs to do
some some considering his life.

1485
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,160
I think he needs to pop us, go
out of the bathroom and ask some

1486
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:00,640
quiet questions to himself and
really consider the answers.

1487
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:05,400
I mean, this curtain bedroom
thing is probably the issue of

1488
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,480
why he's being such an asshole
lately.

1489
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,520
My.
God, are you telling me that,

1490
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:13,440
that Kurt Hummel like, can you,
Can you imagine telling Season 1

1491
01:19:13,440 --> 01:19:15,480
Kurt Hummel?
It's like, you know what, babe?

1492
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,960
At some point you're going to
have a boy, a beautiful boy who

1493
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,240
really loves you.
And after a week of no sex, you

1494
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:26,480
were going to get so cruel to
him that he's going to leave?

1495
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,840
Fucking wild, can you?
Imagine what season 1 Kurt would

1496
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:32,360
say to that.
Are you kidding?

1497
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:39,320
Yeah, like.
Disappointed, disappointed,

1498
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:45,480
disappointed, Sam.
Mercedes are are on, they're

1499
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,160
coupled, they're.
Coupled.

1500
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,800
And yeah, we get a a weird
random little scene at the end

1501
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,080
with Rachel and Mercedes being
like, hey Rachel, is there

1502
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,360
anyone you're interested in?
It was always supposed to be

1503
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:01,400
Finn, so I don't know if you're
dating again.

1504
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,680
Like, could we just leave Rachel
alone on the dating scene?

1505
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,320
Doesn't.
Matter like.

1506
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,120
If you don't.
Mind she's got enough going on

1507
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:09,960
in her life right now, yeah.
Like she literally does not have

1508
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:11,240
time to date.
She doesn't have time for her

1509
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:13,840
classes.
Like leave her alone.

1510
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:15,200
She's.
Married to Fanny Brace.

1511
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:20,800
She is married to her craft.
Like chill, she's.

1512
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,080
Married to the Gershwin, it's
fine.

1513
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:26,840
Exactly, so we end back at
serendipity, paying for things

1514
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,160
we cannot afford.
Blaine to just really rub salt

1515
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,560
in the fat phobia wound is on a
juice cleanse.

1516
01:20:33,480 --> 01:20:34,720
Fucking hate that.
Hate it.

1517
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,800
Hate it like.
A cayenne pepper lemon juice

1518
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:42,400
cleanse from the the 90s.
Basically like get fucked the.

1519
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,320
Only thing about this that I
will defend is that coconut

1520
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:46,520
milk.
And.

1521
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,520
Cayenne actually does sound
pretty good to me.

1522
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:51,320
Coconut milk and cayenne sounds
good it.

1523
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:54,040
Does Yeah, it to me, to me, to
me.

1524
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:55,800
It sounds a little tasty.
I would try it.

1525
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:57,840
I would try it.
OK, OK.

1526
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:00,480
I would also perhaps pour a
little vodka in it there.

1527
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,560
You go, now you're making a play
dairy.

1528
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:09,960
Yeah, that that, that may be
tasty, but no, like he was just,

1529
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:11,160
he's drinking it as a juice
cleanse.

1530
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,480
He's drinking it as a juice
cleanse because he is feeling

1531
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:18,640
fat and unlovable and that those
two things are connected by his

1532
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:23,680
partner.
I no unforgivable like Kurt.

1533
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:29,600
What are you doing?
The.

1534
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,760
Sigh.
The sigh of disappointment.

1535
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:37,160
Yeah, yeah, don't love it, the
whole.

1536
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:40,520
Conversation last episode.
Like I'm your son, I'm the man

1537
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:41,600
you raised.
No, you're not.

1538
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:43,120
Not.
This version not.

1539
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:49,640
This version, Bert would never.
Can you imagine Bert saying this

1540
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,480
to Carol?
Any of this?

1541
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:54,840
No way.
No.

1542
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,760
No, and I think Finn would have
a problem with all of this too.

1543
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,400
Finn.
Would 100% have a problem with

1544
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:02,640
this.
Yeah, I think, I think Finn

1545
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,800
would have an issue.
And I feel like Finn could have

1546
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:08,920
gotten in there with like how to
fuel your body to be peak

1547
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:13,120
performance in football.
You know, like you have to eat,

1548
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,720
like perform, you can't, you
have to eat to perform salad.

1549
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,520
Not to like completely derail
this from absolutely everything,

1550
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,680
but the fella is super into
professional strong men.

1551
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:28,360
And it's incredibly cool because
they just are the strongest

1552
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:30,680
people I've ever seen.
And they're they're just with

1553
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,760
the things that they can lift is
just wild.

1554
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,960
But almost every one of them is
fat.

1555
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,080
Oh yeah.
You have you have to have to

1556
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:42,800
wait to do anything they.
Have to eat, they have to, they

1557
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:46,800
are lifting like 400 lbs of
stuff.

1558
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,640
You have to eat.
They affectionately, like a lot

1559
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,760
of them have like really big
bellies, like pot bellies and

1560
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,880
they affectionately call them
the power belly 'cause you can

1561
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:58,320
like rest your barbell on them.
Are they eating?

1562
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,920
Like.
Ten 12,000 calories a day in.

1563
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:05,320
Training, yeah, yeah, if they're
like in season, absolutely.

1564
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:10,480
And it's just like we talk a lot
in 911 fandom about, you know,

1565
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,680
are you strong?
Are you going to the gym to be

1566
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,080
pretty?
Or are you going to the gym to

1567
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,800
like lift a body?
Like.

1568
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,360
What is what is a functional
strength versus an aesthetic

1569
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:25,400
strength?
And it's just Kurt just doesn't

1570
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:28,560
care.
Kurt just wants to be a babe and

1571
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:31,760
is is putting his fiance down at
the cost of it.

1572
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,720
And I'm just no, no, we'll start
tomorrow.

1573
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:39,680
We'll eat salads like this is.
This is a man who has never once

1574
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:44,480
gained weight ever in his life.
He shed his baby fat and has

1575
01:23:44,480 --> 01:23:51,160
never looked back.
Yeah, like I'm.

1576
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:52,880
Sorry was there plot?
I'm just mad.

1577
01:23:54,440 --> 01:23:58,600
I just, I think having any sort
of weight discussion in TV shows

1578
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:02,280
is such a fraught endeavor.
Like you can't.

1579
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:06,720
It's trying to do it with any
sort of integrity or grace is

1580
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:10,200
nearly impossible.
Not unless your actors are fat

1581
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,280
and they're talking from if.
Like unless they help write

1582
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,080
those conversations.
Yeah.

1583
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,320
This.
Is like, it's not true for

1584
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,360
everybody, but this is, you
know, when my mom made me go on

1585
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:23,840
this, when you know, my friends
at church were doing this, when

1586
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,520
you know, everyone at school was
doing this.

1587
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,040
Especially felt.
About it in.

1588
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,320
Shows like this where it's one
episode, yeah.

1589
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:37,240
And it's like, OK, And now
Blaine has ABS again tomorrow,

1590
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:39,960
yeah.
Not like he didn't have ABS this

1591
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,240
episode either, but like, OK,
we're not gonna talk about.

1592
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:43,160
It he had.
Like a little.

1593
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:47,040
Belly when he was laying down.
Like, oh, did Darren eat a Taco

1594
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:48,680
today?
He's.

1595
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:50,920
Really it he just like hit the
craft table like a couple of

1596
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,960
times that morning and just.
Like all right, push out his

1597
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:58,160
stomach like OK, like great.
Like that.

1598
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:02,000
We've had to be like, we've all
seen Darren Criss naked but we

1599
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,760
haven't.
In fact, we've all seen Darren

1600
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,920
Criss naked.
Like the man has nearly an 8

1601
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,160
pack.
He is slight.

1602
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:11,920
We've all seen him go to Barry's
boot camp.

1603
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:15,200
He takes incredible care of his
body.

1604
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,920
I don't know that he eats
cheeseburgers, right?

1605
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:22,920
Like, he's not someone who talks
about his diet, but I get the

1606
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:29,400
feeling it's not intense.
But like, specific, specific

1607
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,400
because ABS.
ABS are made in the kitchen.

1608
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:40,320
You have to have very low body
fat to have visible yeah, ABS.

1609
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:44,400
You just do.
And he does and has for most of

1610
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:50,400
his life.
Having a thin character have a

1611
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:56,840
weight storyline is always
aggravating.

1612
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:03,640
Yeah, it's it's always like, OK,
the thin person put on a pound

1613
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:08,320
and a half and we're supposed to
like, care and and what?

1614
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:09,760
And they're never going to be
fat again.

1615
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:16,240
Or bloated.
Bloated for a week because he

1616
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,240
ate a cronut.
Yeah, he.

1617
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:21,120
Ate a lot of cronuts.
And Glee does have fat

1618
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:26,320
characters, yeah, but that's not
their storyline, and for the

1619
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:28,520
most part it shouldn't be.
Like their weight should not be

1620
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,200
their storyline except for the
occasional time that it is like.

1621
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:34,040
Rage.
Yeah.

1622
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:35,200
Curtain.
Blaine at this point should

1623
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,440
break up.
Blaine should dump Kurt at this

1624
01:26:37,440 --> 01:26:38,440
point.
I'm.

1625
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:39,760
Dump his.
Ass dump.

1626
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:40,920
His ass.
I'm fucking ready.

1627
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:44,440
Don't pizzazz the four of them.
I think it's Artie who pitches

1628
01:26:44,440 --> 01:26:47,400
the Abstinence Club over frozen
hot chocolate.

1629
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:52,920
Yep, they're curtains.
Like when we're like hard pass.

1630
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:57,920
Thank you.
Can I say that I'm a little

1631
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,880
impressed that we spoke this
long in an episode we didn't

1632
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:01,320
like?
Yeah, really.

1633
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,200
Yeah, it does.
Happen, though, 'cause we find

1634
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:08,400
things to talk about, yeah?
And the episode was trash but

1635
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:14,280
like we liked it.
Is there a chance that anyone

1636
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:18,840
has a favorite song?
I already can't remember the

1637
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:19,880
songs.
Not a.

1638
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,120
Single one of them.
Addicted to love.

1639
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,840
I wanna know what love is.
Love is a battlefield and

1640
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,800
somehow breaking the pattern of
a song with love in the title.

1641
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,920
Let's wait a while.
I don't know.

1642
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:35,640
I didn't love any of the songs.
Like they they were fine, but I

1643
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:37,960
didn't really care for any of
them that much.

1644
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:44,200
Vocally, I liked Kevin on his
song.

1645
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,240
OK, but.
I really enjoyed the fight

1646
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,720
choreography of Love is a
Battlefield.

1647
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:54,800
Yes, I enjoyed watching Love is
a Battlefield.

1648
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:57,320
I would listen to whatever the
hell it was that Kevin sang

1649
01:27:57,760 --> 01:27:59,040
Addicted.
To love that's.

1650
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,120
The one whose name I can never
remember.

1651
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:05,080
I guess I'll go with love as a
battlefield just to like give it

1652
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,160
to clean.
Yeah, but.

1653
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,800
I don't.
Yeah, they didn't earn it.

1654
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:15,720
Yeah, they didn't earn it.
Are there over here?

1655
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:19,520
Pass.
Are there any lines that could

1656
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:24,160
possibly have stood out?
For me it is Mercedes in church

1657
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:26,080
with the Maybe you should grow a
church cushion.

1658
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,520
I had never heard that before
and I immediately knew what it

1659
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:37,000
was and I laughed out loud.
Yeah, I I think Sam also Sam's

1660
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,240
slut shaming, No.
Blaine, this isn't OK.

1661
01:28:39,440 --> 01:28:42,080
Artie needs to be slut shamed.
I'm slut shaming you Artie.

1662
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:45,160
Slut, slut shame.
Slut is.

1663
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:50,040
It for me, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that was pretty good.

1664
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:54,520
I I just like the scent.
Like the Do you wear condoms?

1665
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,000
No, but that would be how.
That would be how.

1666
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:02,000
But they're the lines in this.
Yeah, just the like.

1667
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:06,240
Yeah, yeah, buddy, yeah, buddy.
OK, but.

1668
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,920
And Artie's entire, like,
explanatory conversation about

1669
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,520
like, they were in a cage and
the woman asked what she lied

1670
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,000
and it was like a slippery
banana.

1671
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:19,280
It's like, you know what?
For someone who does have

1672
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,720
sensory nightmares about
condoms, like that is what it

1673
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:23,240
would feel like that.
Would.

1674
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,000
Have been a funny scene though
my.

1675
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:27,840
God, yes.
I feel like the show just

1676
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:32,360
doesn't show condoms like other
than like the foil packet and

1677
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:36,480
the Clane scene but I would.
Have loved a flashback of Artie

1678
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:39,160
staring down the the.
Aisle.

1679
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,120
The aisle that.
Would have been great.

1680
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:45,560
That would.
Be kind of fun at like a Duane

1681
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:47,400
Reade the.
Duane Reade.

1682
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,560
Oh, Duane Reade, do we?
Have any?

1683
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:53,240
Do we have any things that we
like?

1684
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:55,200
Sam.
It's Sam.

1685
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,880
It's.
Sam, Speaking of things that I

1686
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:02,040
liked, yet another week without
Maddie Fresh, Yes.

1687
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,200
Maddie Fresh.
That is an absolute plus.

1688
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:07,920
Yep, Yep.
Yep.

1689
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:09,120
Yep, Yep, Yep.
Yep, Yep.

1690
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:15,160
Well, another Glee episode in
the books.

1691
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:19,920
We are so close to the end of
season 5.

1692
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:22,320
We are because there's only 20
episodes.

1693
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:28,680
OK, so last thing before we go,
Ryan Murphy must have done a

1694
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:32,680
interview right at the time that
this episode aired because

1695
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,840
there's a bunch of articles
about the sixth season and the

1696
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:39,200
end of season 5 that were
released right when this episode

1697
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:42,720
aired.
And it talks about the Glee time

1698
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:45,640
jump not being in New York and
the final season.

1699
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:51,640
And Murphy talks about season 6
being like a 20 or 22 episode

1700
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,560
season.
So at the time they thought it

1701
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:57,560
was gonna be a full episode run.
And it's not.

1702
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:03,480
It's a 13 episode season.
Yeah, yeah, actually, Like, So

1703
01:31:03,480 --> 01:31:06,800
what we're left with is 24
episodes and like you don't get

1704
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:11,040
those.
You get less than that, which is

1705
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:12,600
for good.
And so they're they're talking

1706
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:14,040
about like, oh, we're gonna do a
time jump.

1707
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:21,120
And that's all I'll really say.
And he talks about the the

1708
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:29,720
newbies like not being back for
the next season, but like not

1709
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,840
why.
So they're kind of some

1710
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:35,560
interesting articles that, but
that's like the first look

1711
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:40,080
really at what Season 6 is going
to be like and that it's not New

1712
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:42,400
York centric because of the time
jump.

1713
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:44,280
Interesting.
Yeah.

1714
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:47,760
The.
Only part of season 6 I've seen

1715
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:53,240
is that there is a scene of like
Blaine in a suit coming up an

1716
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:58,720
escalator and there is a scene
of Rachel in a bathtub and

1717
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,000
that's all I've seen.
Yeah.

1718
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:02,800
From the Internet, I'm so
excited to like.

1719
01:32:04,440 --> 01:32:05,640
See the rest.
See the.

1720
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,720
Rest It's not gonna be good,
it's not gonna be an enjoyable

1721
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:10,480
watch, but it'll be.
Fun.

1722
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:16,080
Yeah, it'll be something.
We'll do it together, We'll do.

1723
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:19,760
It together.
OK, well, Speaking of doing it

Nope.
