00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaking of, what are you doing?
Stay out of the comments

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,840
section.
This applies to Rachel Berry, to

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,040
me, to you, to literally anyone
who's who's listening to this.

4
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:10,960
Stay out of the comments
section.

5
00:00:25,390 --> 00:00:27,230
You're listening to Glee on the
Rocks.

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,520
I guess that's an intro.
Welcome back to Glee on the

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,960
Rocks, a Phantom on the Rocks
podcast.

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,760
I am Emily.
I'm Allison.

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,520
It's summer, we hate it.
It's sweaty.

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,280
It's so sweaty.
I'm so.

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,680
Sorry, sweating like Rachel
Berry before opening night.

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Good.
God.

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,560
This is season 5.
I almost said 15 because I'm

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,000
thinking about Supernatural
season 5 episode 17 opening

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,200
night.
The the Hulu little blurb.

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,160
You know how there's like a the
intro that we read.

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,440
It just says break a leg, Rachel
that.

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,280
'Cause they also didn't watch
this episode.

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,720
That's it.
This episode aired April 22nd,

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,760
2014.
I only mentioning it says it was

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,760
written by Michael Hitchcock and
directed by good pal Eric

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,440
Stoltz.
So I I was prepared to go into

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:25,800
this episode hating it because
it is a Rachel episode and I we

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,160
open on Rachel and her fuck ass
bed full of fuck ass pink

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,760
pillows and I'm like oh okay I
guess like what is happening?

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160
And then immediately, all caps
okay, I take it back.

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,480
This is great.
Is her her dream sequence her

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,160
her nightmare?
This dream nightmare is just the

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,920
peak of Glee, just like the last
episode, the little intro dream

30
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,960
was the peak.
We have season 1 Tina.

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,640
We have season 1 Kurt and that
like mohair black and blue

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,680
sweater.
We have Cheerios Santana like

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,080
warbler blade.
We have we have a bully whips

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,400
Karofsky like that guy.
But thank you for for like

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,840
watching your own program.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,480
Jacob Bieber's second.
Name is.

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,200
That was a deep cut.
And then, of course, Jacob Ben

38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,240
Israel.
Jacob Ben Israel, yes.

39
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,520
And I saw Jacob Ben Israel and I
was like are we getting season 1

40
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,840
Rachel?
Cuz this is this is Jacob Ben

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,160
Israel.
We are.

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,320
We got season 1, Season 2 Rachel
and her little Unicorn sweater

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,520
and her.
Little sweaters and her old knee

44
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,960
socks and her fucking like
headband as yeah.

45
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,560
Schoolgirl outfit.
Schoolgirl outfit and like the

46
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200
song Love Fool by the Cardigans
actually does not fit here at

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,480
all.
I have no idea why they're

48
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,600
singing this song other than
they had it.

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,080
So I think why they did it is
simply the lyrics of her saying

50
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:06,560
because she's so worried about
the show and the the the

51
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,640
reviews, like the whole thing is
about the reviews.

52
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,920
So I think they picked this song
which the the vibe is weird.

53
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,400
Like it's so the song Love Fool
has such a specific sound.

54
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,200
Right.
But I think it is simply for the

55
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,320
chorus being like, say that you
love me and I don't care about

56
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,080
anything else, but say that you
love me.

57
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,600
You know what?
That's probably right.

58
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,120
I think that's why and I I would
have liked it to have sounded a

59
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,000
little more desperate than
Poppy.

60
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,000
Yes, if they were going to do it
like because it just sounded

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,720
vacant.
It yes it did.

62
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,800
It was very like they they kept
the upbeat 1990s Romeo and

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Juliet vibe.
I would have loved Love Me Love

64
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Me acoustic version A.
Little bit, yeah, yeah, yeah.

65
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,920
But the visuals were awesome.
Because we got like the entire

66
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:09,320
Glee club chorus of season 1,
season 2 Blaine Horbler, Justin

67
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Bieber, Sam, season 1 Tina Goth,
Tina Santana and the Cheerios,

68
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Kurt with the mohair sweater.
Incredible work, incredible

69
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,839
work.
And then of course there was the

70
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,040
like Becky, Rachel, like running
through the heart-shaped

71
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,920
balloons.
And then there's, of course,

72
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,120
just the Sue Sylvester of it
all.

73
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Yeah, I actually forgot how
prominently Sue was in this

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,880
episode, and a lot of it made no
sense.

75
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,720
It made absolutely no sense.
I was thrilled to see Sue

76
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Sylvester, but I was just.
I spent the whole episode going.

77
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,800
But why?
Yeah, like why are why are you

78
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,720
here?
I'm.

79
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,760
Thrilled to see you, but why are
you here?

80
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,960
Like, was Jane also promoting
Annie?

81
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,600
Like what are we doing here?
Like why?

82
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,840
Why?
Like I guess they needed a

83
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,280
secondary storyline.
It couldn't all be Rachel,

84
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,880
although I'm sure they wanted it
to be.

85
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,040
But why was this this the B
plot?

86
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,720
I don't know.
Well because they already had AB

87
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,520
plot in with with Will and the
baby which was like. 2 seconds

88
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,920
he was there and then he was
gone.

89
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,560
Gone like OK, but like we'll get
there.

90
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,640
But this entire intro dream
sequence, like the drugs I'm

91
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,400
coming down from just I don't
know who was on what, but it was

92
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,200
incredible.
Great job.

93
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,040
It was I, I enjoyed it.
So yes, they're yeah, it was

94
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,680
fun.
The episode just gets worse from

95
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:37,320
here.
Get ready.

96
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:42,200
It does a lot of my they're not
even hot takes a lot of my like

97
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:46,880
bugaboos with this episode are
around the logistics of

98
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,720
Broadway, which have been an
issue the entire storyline of

99
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,920
Rachel doing Broadway right.
But Kurt says something like,

100
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,240
you know, you did so well in
previews up in Syracuse, like.

101
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,440
What?
That's not where those would

102
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,080
have gone.
Well, like 1.

103
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,680
They're not previews.
It would have been an out of

104
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,440
town tryout.
And she's been in New York the

105
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,360
entire time.
Has she been commuting to

106
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,160
Syracuse?
And we just don't know it.

107
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,240
They've been in Bushwick,
they've been in Manhattan this

108
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,000
whole time.
She would have had to be living

109
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,720
upstate doing the entire show.
With her Niata, issues like that

110
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,360
is happening.
For months to do the out of town

111
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,240
tryout so like what are you
don't give us throwaway lines

112
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,280
that like would change the plot.
The plot then would be Rachel

113
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,520
Berry doing out of town tryouts
and some, sorry, Syracuse, like

114
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,960
podunk nowhere.
It's not Podunk nowhere.

115
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,160
It's Syracuse, but like it's not
Manhattan.

116
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,360
It would be like, oh, her dream
was to be in New York City and

117
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,960
instead.
Or she doing like an out of

118
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,320
town.
They're doing an out of town

119
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,120
thing in Chicago.
Yeah.

120
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,440
It's not like, it's not like.
Seattle, Seattle, Chicago,

121
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,160
something.
Well no.

122
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,760
You do your out of town tryouts.
It would be Chicago, Seattle,

123
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:11,320
San Diego, Atlanta, maybe not
Texas.

124
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,560
Yeah, that's what.
Like these aren't, these aren't

125
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,520
little podunk middle of nowhere
towns, they're just not New York

126
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,120
City.
They're not New York City, and

127
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,520
that could be an interesting
storyline.

128
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,840
She's totally sequestered from
all of her friends, no support

129
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,160
system.
But no, she has, she has been

130
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,160
there.
There, there are.

131
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640
No, she's not done any.
No, that's not what's happened

132
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,080
here.
Anyway.

133
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,600
That bothers me because there
are people who work in the

134
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,200
business who are watching the
show and are like, what are we

135
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,120
talking about?
What are you doing?

136
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,360
What are you doing?
Speaking of, what are you doing?

137
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,600
Stay out of the comments
section.

138
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,520
This applies to Rachel Berry, to
me, to you, to literally anyone

139
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,720
who's who's listening to this.
Stay out of the comments

140
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,960
section.
Yeah.

141
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,000
Stay out.
No good comes from you being in

142
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,600
the comments section, I promise.
No, she has been reading every

143
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,960
single review and comments she
is up to her hairline in

144
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,600
anxiety.
I mean same.

145
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,000
Well right since I was born just
all these voices of herself

146
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,360
doubt are are drowning her,
hence her anxiety dream.

147
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,120
She does say this really
interesting line about like,

148
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,240
we're actors, we just want to be
loved and validated.

149
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,280
It's like, I see, I see you.
I see any of those actors, cough

150
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,800
cough cough, who were posting
constantly on Instagram, cough

151
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,560
cough.
Yeah, I know.

152
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,600
I was like.
Yeah, don't.

153
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,000
What are you just?
You're just attention farming

154
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,039
all the time.
That's your job.

155
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,000
What you looking?
For a little looking for a

156
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,600
little kudos, there are you but.
From anybody in particular?

157
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:50,000
But Kurt, her current BFF, takes
her phone and is like, listen,

158
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,920
no reviews, no Twitter, no
Internet until opening night.

159
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,160
This apartment is going to be
nothing but love and positivity,

160
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,080
and we're going to do nothing in
our lives except shower you with

161
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,360
the attention that you deserve.
So if all the show has been

162
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,520
doing.
So if the last episode was

163
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,000
written by Chris Cole, for this
episode was written by Lea

164
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800
Michele.
Yes, literally.

165
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,520
Like I just need to be loved and
validated like.

166
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,600
OK, apparently so.
I OK, Yeah.

167
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,680
This is the Let's Make Rachel
Berry Feel Better About Herself

168
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:26,320
Comedy Hour.
Fine.

169
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,400
OK.
As if the whole show isn't

170
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,960
centered on Rachel Berry.
But you know who else it's

171
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,000
centered on?
Sue Sylvester.

172
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Well, yes, but technically
first, it's centered on William

173
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,640
Schuster.
I mean my sort of my notes go EW

174
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:47,280
no William, but yay Sue.
OK, but remember, if you can,

175
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,960
'cause I almost forgot, didn't
she get him a job at Carmel?

176
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,920
She got him an interview to be
the coach for Vocal Adrenaline.

177
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,120
OK, so it's an interview.
To be the coach for Vocal

178
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,360
Adrenaline.
OK cuz he's still at McKinley.

179
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,160
I guess it's the middle of the
school year or not.

180
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,840
I don't what he's teaching.
What was that?

181
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,680
I it was like 12.
I think it was the end of the

182
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:16,680
double of the graduation double.
So they graduated.

183
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,480
Oh, but it's summer.
Whatever, who cares?

184
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,960
Whatever.
So that hasn't happened for him

185
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,080
yet and we don't hear about it
at all.

186
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,320
No.
But OK, so he has.

187
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,560
He's going to be flying to New
York for Rachel's big opening,

188
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,520
and he has an extra ticket
because Emma's too pregnant to

189
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:39,560
fly and someone else can't.
Beast can't fit into one plane

190
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,000
seat.
What?

191
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,960
No, absolutely not.
I do like that he invited Beast

192
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,160
though.
I do too.

193
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,960
Beast needs a beast needs a
buddy.

194
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Yeah, yeah.
But I was like no.

195
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,040
No.
Wrong.

196
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,640
No, they have shrunk.
They have shrunk plane seats.

197
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,120
And now they're gonna like, you
can't fit in this look I did 10

198
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,040
years ago.
Right when?

199
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,480
You made them for people.
Yeah, real people with actual

200
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520
bodies.
Real people with actual bodies.

201
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,400
And now you don't do that
anymore.

202
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,200
So like.
That sounds like a you problem,

203
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,200
not a me problem.
For real.

204
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,080
My shoulders aren't getting
wider.

205
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,720
Well, a little, but yeah.
So he has an extra plane ticket

206
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,760
and Sue's just like.
I'll take it.

207
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,160
And that is because on her Sue's
corner, she has been ranting

208
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,800
about New York City as being a
loud, crowded cessful of people

209
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,120
and rats.
And also she's.

210
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,000
Not wrong, she's not.
Wrong.

211
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,000
That's why it's awesome.
She's not.

212
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Wrong.
And she's also been ranting

213
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,600
about the about Broadway because
she saw the BI curious Tony's.

214
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,560
Lol.
And the news station like

215
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,600
somehow realized that she had
never actually been to New York

216
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,600
City, so she had.
She has to go see it in person

217
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,600
so she can't lose her
credibility right as a hater.

218
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,120
And she was just like, OK, bet.
And she says you.

219
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,280
Drive a hard bargain button.
Yeah, she has to.

220
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,240
She has to go to Rachel's
opening in exchange for the

221
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,080
ticket, which could have been an
interesting storyline if that's

222
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,560
what happened.
If that's actually what

223
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:26,880
happened, yes.
But first they have to sing NYC

224
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,080
from Annie.
I thought it was from Annie.

225
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,640
It is from Annie.
Sue's nightmare being trapped in

226
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:41,120
a snow globe with Will Schuster,
NYC.

227
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:52,880
What is it about you?
You're big, you're loud, you're

228
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:59,920
tough.
I'm also like, I get I'm sad

229
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,720
about this.
I'm sad that I forget.

230
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,960
But she is so funny.
I love her acting so much.

231
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,400
The way I forget.
Jane Lynch can sing.

232
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,440
I know.
Every single time I'm like, Oh

233
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,120
my God, she can sing.
Like, of course Allison, of

234
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,600
course she can sing.
She's Jane fucking Lynch.

235
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,280
I know, but I like she's just
such a strong actor and such a

236
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,720
strong comedic actor, which is
harder that I just, I forget

237
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,920
that she could sing.
And there so she gets a she gets

238
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,000
2 songs in this episode.
Yeah, she does.

239
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,120
Like packing her in at the end
here.

240
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,760
Yeah.
And then so they have this whole

241
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,600
set piece for NYC and it's like,
remember how we were just

242
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,800
discussing the Glee club blowing
like $2,000,000 on set pieces?

243
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,240
For no reason.
So here they are with like

244
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,720
cutouts and extras and snow and
costumes.

245
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,160
And the way this is giving
community theater.

246
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,960
Yeah, yeah.
Like who?

247
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:55,960
How?
What?

248
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,600
But.
But it does shift into them

249
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:01,160
arriving in Manhattan, and she
says this place smells like

250
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,080
barf.
And she's again not.

251
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,480
Wrong.
She's not wrong.

252
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,120
I have seen people physically do
that on the sidewalk like it's

253
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,400
She's not wrong.
Happens.

254
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,160
That's why they have St.
cleaners.

255
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,360
That's why they have St.
cleaners.

256
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,440
God bless the street cleaners of
Manhattan and the rest of New

257
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,880
York City.
Not a good St.

258
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,200
Cleaner.
But my big beef that like your

259
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,760
big beef with Broadway specifics
is my big beef with New York

260
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,200
City specifics.
Do not stand on the stairwell.

261
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,040
Don't stand there.
Don't block the top of the

262
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,880
stairwell sink of mine pushed
out of the table, but like I'm

263
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,640
going to shove you out of the
way if you don't move.

264
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,960
There's 10,000 fucking people
getting off the train behind

265
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,200
you.
Move.

266
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,640
You're blocking.
You're blocking traffic.

267
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,280
Move.
Don't stand in front of the

268
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,120
stairs.
I I was coming off the train one

269
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,240
day and I tripped up the stairs.
Oh no.

270
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,120
And it was maybe the one time in
my life I was graceful because

271
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,200
I, I tripped up the stairs and
I, I must not have had my phone

272
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,600
in my hand because it must have
been in my pocket or something.

273
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,640
But I I tripped up, I hit the
the stair with both hands right,

274
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,880
popped straight back up and kept
going.

275
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,720
Of course, cuz you're a New
Yorker.

276
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,640
Cuz in my mind I I feel like I
thought like don't block people.

277
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,320
Right.
Don't don't get in the way.

278
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,400
Don't get in the way.
So it was like down, up kept

279
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,840
going.
Keep going first.

280
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,600
Don't let him see you cry.
Let's go.

281
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,720
Don't let him see you fall.
Like I'm so glad it was up the

282
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,240
stairs and not down the stairs.
Oh my God, yes, Cuz you know,

283
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,600
you like you hit your toe and
you're just like down I went

284
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,560
boom right back up.
It was maybe the fastest I've

285
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,560
ever moved in my life.
Truly incredible.

286
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,120
Congratulations.
Thank, I did have to touch the

287
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,240
subway stairs though.
A bummer, but I'm sure you've

288
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,600
gotten your shots since then.
I have gotten tetanus and rabies

289
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,120
since then.
Yes, and washed your hands a

290
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,280
couple 1000 times.
Yeah.

291
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,880
But yeah, I think about that not
infrequently.

292
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,160
I'm just like, yeah, I could
have blocked people.

293
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:17,000
So we move to the to the loft.
Well, in any case, we're in the

294
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,920
the the Hubble Hudson Anderson
loft.

295
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,560
Yes.
Oh, he's moved out.

296
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,720
The Hull Hudson Berry.
Yeah.

297
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,400
Etcetera, loft.
Yep.

298
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,560
The The Bushwick Loft and in
Busted Miss Tina Cohen Chang.

299
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,000
Yes.
Tina, I love you.

300
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,760
I miss you.
She's my favorite, and in

301
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,000
classic Glee style, Tina
immediately puts her foot in her

302
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,480
mouth.
Her foot, her arm, her left arm.

303
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,800
She swallows her left kidney.
Just talking about, you know,

304
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,960
man, I was reading all these
things on the Internet and

305
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,560
they're saying so many weird
things about you.

306
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,640
And she just like, cannot take a
hint from literally anybody else

307
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,400
in the room.
No, no.

308
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Oh, you're resting.
Your voice.

309
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,680
Is it like that time you had
tonsillitis?

310
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,560
My God.
Shut off.

311
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,960
The way that the writers for
this episode watched their

312
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,119
program.
They did that one time.

313
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,319
That one time.
Incredible.

314
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,480
Yeah, we do.
So OK, so Artie's not here for

315
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,640
this episode.
For apparently Kevin McHale was

316
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,800
filming something somewhere
else.

317
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,080
But they say that Artie's short
film got accepted into the Fort

318
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,720
Lauderdale International Film
Festival.

319
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,600
You know what?
Love that for him.

320
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,680
Congratulations, Mr. Abrams.
Yep, so that that is where he

321
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,120
is.
And not supporting his friend,

322
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,680
nor Quinn nor Puck, nor Santana,
who are just not being

323
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,560
supportive, says Tina.
To make Rachel feel even worse.

324
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,640
Yeah, but she's still at Brown
and dating someone who turned

325
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,240
out to be gay, gay, gay, gay,
which is gay, says everyone it.

326
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,120
Says literally everyone.
Give my girl a break the

327
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:11,240
running.
Joke of this is both like Glee

328
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,480
funny and also like OK, we get
it.

329
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,160
Yeah, she gets very Glee.
Funny, but it's just like.

330
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,960
Yeah, it's, I keep seeing a
TikTok from some dude who's

331
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,080
like, this is only funny if you
were there at the time or

332
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,280
apparently if you're
intelligent.

333
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,280
And I don't think that's true.
I think you had to be there at

334
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,680
the time.
I think you had to be there,

335
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,160
yes.
Cuz like I open my mouth and

336
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,560
purse fell out is really only
funny if you were there at the

337
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,440
time.
It's true.

338
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,440
That was so funny.
Christ alike.

339
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,640
It's still funny you were there
at the time.

340
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,080
You were there, Yes.
Yeah.

341
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,000
I was at the Devil sacrament.
I was there when the magic was

342
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,040
written like I was there.
The deep lore is part of my DNA.

343
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,680
Like it's going to make me
giggle.

344
00:18:54,760 --> 00:19:00,840
If you're 21 or 18 watching it
now, I don't know that it, I

345
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,880
don't know it's going to make
sense to you because just the

346
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,200
cultural context is completely
missing and I think that's OK.

347
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,240
It it is OK.
Like we'd, we'd like to make fun

348
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,520
of it now, but like, Glee really
did kind of do things that

349
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,040
people.
Weren't doing before.

350
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,120
People weren't doing like they
were doing it, but they were

351
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:23,120
doing it on HBO and they were
doing it on, you know, wherever

352
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,760
what not.
Was it the L word?

353
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,760
Yeah.
Wherever the L word maybe.

354
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,600
Yeah, they were doing it on like
the pay-per-view channels, like,

355
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,520
but Glee finally got to a chance
to do it on main and like, it

356
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,880
kind of was.
It kind of was folk light.

357
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,720
It was.
It was, but in any case, they

358
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:49,600
proceed to kick Tina Cohen Chang
out of the apartment and two

359
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,640
things happen in succession that
I will never forget.

360
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:54,320
The 1st is Mercedes staying
like, like what?

361
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,800
Don't worry about it.
You're staying with me.

362
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,480
And she goes, but I thought I
was staying here.

363
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,800
It's like no, no, no, no, no,
no, you're staying with me.

364
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,480
God bless you, Mercedes Jones.
And then Tina comes out.

365
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,640
What if Rachel needs my love and
validation from the buffet?

366
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,520
The Buffet of Love and
Validation First of all, I would

367
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,720
like a about a buffet of love
and validation.

368
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,840
Yes, a validation buffet.
A valid.

369
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,840
I was going to call it a valet,
but that is a different.

370
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,720
That's the whole other word.
That's the portmanteau.

371
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,560
A valet is a validation buffet.
Correct.

372
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,920
Yeah, so now if you ever drop
your car off and they don't tell

373
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,880
you you're awesome, they're
going to be derelict in their

374
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,160
duties.
Correct?

375
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,880
Correct.
So you know, the entire Glee

376
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,600
club, basically the Glee Club
East has.

377
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Of East.
Has decided that Rachel Berry's

378
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,680
mental stability is their
responsibility.

379
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:58,320
Yes.
Which is a choice, but we, you

380
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,440
know, they kicked Tina out and
you know Kurt.

381
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,920
Kurt wakes up in the middle of
the night with his.

382
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,280
Boyfriend pillow his.
Boyfriend Pillow.

383
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,560
The return of the Bruce, the
boyfriend, Brillo.

384
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,440
The way they watch their own
program, the way someone had a

385
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,080
marathon.
This is Michael Hitchcock, and

386
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,120
it's like, is he the only one?
Is he?

387
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,200
The one must be I love you,
thank you, thank you for this.

388
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,680
But yes, the boyfriend pillow,
even though Blaine is like,

389
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:32,600
still present, but he wakes up
in the dead of the night and

390
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,200
he's like, something is off with
the force.

391
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,520
And so he goes and he finds he
hears like, you know, the awful

392
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,960
ramblings of a YouTube reviewer
and finds Rachel Berry, one of

393
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,880
us, completely surrounded by
newspaper clippings.

394
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,440
And she's got like 1000 tabs of
YouTube and Twitter all pulled

395
00:21:53,440 --> 00:22:01,200
up and she is binging her own
hate watch just like.

396
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:08,200
Yeah.
So she yeah, it it's yeah.

397
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,320
It's funny because I'm I get the
feeling that a lot of people do

398
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,560
this.
Oh yeah, One of us.

399
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,960
One of us.
One of us.

400
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Kurt gets like everyone to come
over so they can like coddle the

401
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,240
shit out of her because she is
too slight psyched up to go on

402
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,720
for Funny Girl so literally
everyone has to like hype her

403
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,520
up.
Kurt brings her presents.

404
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,520
Blaine is like going to give her
a massage.

405
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,320
Namaste, Rachel.
Namaste, Rachel.

406
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,760
Sam is going to like, sing her a
little song.

407
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:47,280
Rachel's like, fuck all of you.
There's this line that I think

408
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,200
Rachel says that's like, it's
not fair that anyone can send

409
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,360
hateful tweets to artists.
And all I wrote was like,

410
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:59,400
boohoo, Ryan Murphy who who that
like people don't like my show

411
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,840
all the time.
Like well then make a better

412
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,320
show, Dick bag.
But make a better show.

413
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,760
That one felt directed at us,
the audience.

414
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560
It sure did.
And then of course, there was

415
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,160
the one that it was just for the
audience.

416
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,560
So Kurt's present isn't from
Kurt.

417
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:19,120
It's definitely, you know, she's
like reading this card.

418
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,280
And I didn't write down what it
said, but it was like, you know,

419
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,960
this was such a transformative
role for me.

420
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,240
And now it's going to be such a
transformative role for you.

421
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,040
You know, whatever, whatever.
Love Barbara and like, you know,

422
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,200
her little eyelashes start to to
to flutter and then she just

423
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,560
snaps.
Like you of all people, Kurt

424
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,360
Hummel should know that she
dropped the second a from her

425
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:42,840
name when she was, you know, 18
as a sign of protest and like,

426
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,200
whatever.
But Rachel spots it as a fake

427
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,080
immediately and starts railing
on Kurt.

428
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,800
And then she yells who?
Wrote this Tina.

429
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,080
Uh huh.
I screamed.

430
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,360
It's always Tina.
Who wrote this, Tina?

431
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,440
Always Tina.
Screaming.

432
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,560
Always at the scene in the
crime.

433
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,520
I love her.
Yeah, it's the the let's coddle

434
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,600
Rachel Berry of this episode.
I was like, Jesus Christ, like

435
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,520
get it together.
Because then Sue Sylvester shows

436
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:23,440
up with a her intro is Hello
Losers, calling out that she

437
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,600
they live in the worst
neighborhood in Brooklyn and

438
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,400
there isn't even a lock on the
door because she just slides

439
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,720
that door right open.
She does although and then she

440
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,000
she proceeds to complain about
how complicated and shitty their

441
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,640
door is to open.
Yeah, well, maybe that's the

442
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,920
deterrent from robbers.
Is that like it's a sliding

443
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,520
metal, whatever it is.
But she is there to watch Rachel

444
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,680
choke on her opening night.
And proceeds to call Tina Asian

445
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,920
#1 they remembered.
Seriously, this entire episode

446
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,400
is total of throwbacks and I
just.

447
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,960
Is this the episode that the
that the writers assistants

448
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,160
finally got to come in on?
Yeah.

449
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,880
Yeah, like it was like Michelle
and the room of writers

450
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,960
assistants.
Like they were just waiting for

451
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,360
years to be like, we know what
we know what to do.

452
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,920
Whatever thick writers assisted
on this episode, we see you.

453
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,840
Yeah, we appreciate your hard
work.

454
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,920
We honor you.
Yeah, well, because there's also

455
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,280
a trope Sue is gonna stay at the
loft because the hotel room only

456
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,160
had one bed.
Lol I just wrote all caps

457
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,000
adultery.
Adultery.

458
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,880
So Mr. Shu was like I told them,
two beds.

459
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,040
Adultery.
Now me, I'm like, yeah, Sue and

460
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,120
Shu, they're supposed to hook up
like this is fine, Yeah.

461
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,120
Do I want them to hook up in
Canon?

462
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,440
Not.
Whatever pregnant wife.

463
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,520
But like, no, not the pregnant
wife, but like, enemies to

464
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,640
lovers to enemies.
Like, yeah.

465
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,080
Exactly.
Enemies just to lovers to

466
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,880
antagonists.
Yes, exactly.

467
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,920
Yes, perfect.
But Sue's going to stay in

468
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,560
Kurt's room just for reasons,
and then they're like, things

469
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,480
can't get worse.
Q Santana rolling up in a cab

470
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,120
outside.
Like the most beautiful, you

471
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:15,160
know, just darling Angel.
They had absolutely no reason to

472
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,720
show this scene of her getting
out of a cab because she could

473
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,720
have, just because she just
comes in the door not horribly

474
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,560
later.
Yeah, no, they they could have

475
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,080
just had the door open, but
instead she gets like to step

476
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,480
out of a cab with the wind
blowing.

477
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,840
And then fight a bird and.
Then fight a bird, yeah.

478
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,800
And then fight a bird, which is
probably why they kept it in

479
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,240
because the pigeon flew up.
Yeah, yeah.

480
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,080
That's caught by by surprise.
Yeah, perfect perfection.

481
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,480
No.
Notes And so, you know,

482
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,120
Santana's like just get out of
my way.

483
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:50,920
I will fix this.
She speaks Rachel.

484
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:57,080
She does speak, Rachel, so I
again did not write down any of

485
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,600
her speech except for I'm going
to get you out of this bed ready

486
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:06,080
to fist fight the Taliban.
I I have you and I have two

487
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,920
speeds.
Awesome or none at all?

488
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:15,320
So the closer the closer gets in
and decides to read Rachel

489
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,800
reviews.
Like negative reviews and

490
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,160
Rachel's like a fucking excuse
you and Santana's like these are

491
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,920
from 1964.
These are from Barbra Streisand.

492
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,200
Yep.
I see what you did there.

493
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,080
And Rachel's like, I see what
you did there, and they didn't

494
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,840
kiss, and I don't really know
why.

495
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,880
I you know, that made no sense
to me.

496
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,920
Truly made no sense to me.
That seemed like the perfect

497
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,520
opportunity.
It did talk about enemies to

498
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,240
lovers to antagonists.
This is this is also true.

499
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,040
But it's it's just the Rachel
Berry show.

500
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,960
Because sure enough, you know,
Santana leaves and then Rachel

501
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,400
Berry's like, Oh my God, let's
do this, and I don't care.

502
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,080
I don't care.
Like you, you had to go on.

503
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,320
Like, I don't know what the
problem was here, right?

504
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,480
Like you were not gonna not go
on this.

505
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,760
Like come on now.
Also like, shouldn't you be at

506
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,080
the theater already?
What are we doing here?

507
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,760
Correct.
What time is it like get your

508
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,680
ass to work?
Get your ass to work, ma'am.

509
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,600
Jesus so that it's it's opening
night of the Funny Girl revival

510
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,640
and Sue was trying to scalp her
ticket.

511
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:32,400
And thus we begin a a back half
of the episode storyline that

512
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,320
like, I truly did not care
about.

513
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,800
The only reason I cared about
this plot line is because the

514
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,920
actor who Co stars in it is
Chris Parnell who is a voice

515
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,880
actor.
Well, he's also on Saturday at

516
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,560
Live Alum.
Really.

517
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,560
Oh.
Yeah, he's.

518
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,480
Do you remember Lazy Sunday?
No.

519
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,720
Oh.
My you don't know, Lazy Sunday.

520
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,800
Love that, love that for us,
love this bit of lore that we've

521
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,640
dropped.
But I know him from both Archer

522
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,920
and Rick and Morty.
Two things I haven't seen.

523
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,160
Yes, well, he's in both of them
and is, you know, real good at

524
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,640
his job, so. 2 worlds collide. 2
worlds collide.

525
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,080
Nice.
Excellent.

526
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,400
Well, he is also trying to scalp
a ticket.

527
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,000
For reasons for.
Reasons.

528
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,960
And their eyes meet across the
crowd at the theater.

529
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,320
Somehow.
Because Jane Lynch is 9 foot 6

530
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,880
and Chris Parnell is 4 foot 2.
And their eyes meet over crime,

531
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,040
criminal behavior, criminal.
Behavior which makes sense.

532
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,320
And time stands still.
It does.

533
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,360
Time stands still and then he he
winks and walks away and and Sue

534
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,200
is left in a in a haze of of
who?

535
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,080
Who was that?
Who was that?

536
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,600
Who was that?
Oh Oh my.

537
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,640
And then we go into Rachel's
dressing room pre show where

538
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,560
there is no activity, just
missed a shoe.

539
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,400
There's no sense of urgency,
there are no no noises, no

540
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,400
people, nothing seems to be
going on.

541
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,280
I'm very confused.
Just hanging out.

542
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,560
Doing any vocal warmups, She's
not dressed so I don't know

543
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:19,520
what's.
The Rachel Mary show.

544
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,360
It's the Rachel Mary show like.
It's not in costume.

545
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,760
No, she's just hanging out.
It's cool, guys.

546
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,080
We'll hold the audience.
We'll hold the house.

547
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,000
That's fine.
We'll hold.

548
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,200
The whole house, yeah, we're
going to run late.

549
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,840
So she is wearing and also, like
meeting before the show and not

550
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,400
after.
Like she's got shit to do.

551
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,080
I don't.
Anyway, she's got her fin

552
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,880
necklace on and they have a
little moment about like saving

553
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,280
a seat for Finn.
I don't think he's going to make

554
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,040
it.
I don't think he's going to make

555
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,720
it.
I'm very sorry to tell us.

556
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,840
But he's there in spirit.
And.

557
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,680
And Shoo says this thing about
you're making my dreams come

558
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,320
true because we're supposed to,
like, really care about him as

559
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,400
the teacher.
And I really would have at one

560
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,560
point in the show, you know what
I mean?

561
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,320
Yeah, Like at some other point I
would have been like, man,

562
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,080
that's fucking sweet.
Like Season 3, if they had like,

563
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,480
you know, all of that, I could
have, I could have been on

564
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,320
board.
But no, not right now.

565
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,720
Not right now.
Yeah, especially because, like,

566
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,480
the gap between high school and
her Broadway debut is like a

567
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,680
week.
Right, it's not that far.

568
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,280
So like, OK, you graduated, now
you're in your dream job.

569
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,160
I cool.
Like I don't even have time to

570
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,080
miss you.
You have to go away so I can

571
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,160
miss you.
Like what are you doing?

572
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,880
But then she gets a call that
Emma's water has broken and he

573
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,960
has to go all the way back to
Ohio.

574
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:50,200
OK, so so yeah, we'll talk about
that, but like, I'm just gonna

575
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,600
have to wait a minute.
Like what are you gonna get?

576
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,440
An what?
Why didn't you leave her on

577
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,960
standby?
Like, yeah.

578
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,920
Oh, really?
If your wife is too pregnant to

579
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:07,120
fly and like she's at, you know,
probably. 40 weeks.

580
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,720
Yeah, you're you what?
What are you doing?

581
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,160
Why did you leave to go to your
former students show like?

582
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,200
'Cause you know the good
reasons, plot reasons.

583
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,520
And also, Speaking of people who
should be there, where are

584
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,000
Rachel's dads for her opening
night?

585
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,520
Great question.
Where are Rachel's dads?

586
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,880
Where, frankly, are Burt and
Carroll.

587
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,120
Where are Burt, Darren?
Chris's real life parents are in

588
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,440
the audience, but Burt and
Carroll and and Jeff Goldblum

589
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,880
aren't in the audience.
What?

590
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,400
Don't understand.
I don't understand.

591
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,680
Also, Mama and Papa were there.
I didn't see them.

592
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,960
I didn't.
I didn't look but.

593
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,720
They they sit behind Curt and
Blaine.

594
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,720
Oh my God, I have to go back and
look.

595
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,200
That's adorable.
Like.

596
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,400
They're not really focused on,
but if you like, you know their

597
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,600
faces, you're like, oh, look at
that.

598
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,680
That's cute.
Yeah, they're just, they're just

599
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,360
sitting there like you got they
showed up, but like her dads

600
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,760
aren't there.
What?

601
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,240
What?
Not one.

602
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:08,520
You couldn't you couldn't swap
like Mr. Shu for her Broadway

603
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,600
loving dads to be like, oh, all
the money we spent on your Niata

604
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,200
tuition, right?
All these years of pretending

605
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,400
you were Barbra Streisand to
cause your name is Rachel

606
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,440
Barbara Berry to be like, yeah,
you made it.

607
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,000
You did it.
Like what?

608
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,480
You couldn't do that for us.
Or a phone call like the subway

609
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,960
is late, but we'll be there.
Not one.

610
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,120
They haven't been in New York
the entire time.

611
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,200
Her Broadway loving parents.
Less I.

612
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,160
But we we get this like
walkthrough backstage of her

613
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,640
through through the theater.
Which, if I like Rachel at all,

614
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,480
would have been pretty cool.
I like, yeah, I like the scene.

615
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,800
You finally get to see that
there are other people involved

616
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,280
in the show who are not Rachel
Berry.

617
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:01,520
Not enough people, right?
You know a few some people.

618
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,200
Some people, you see them
warming up.

619
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,600
Not her.
Yes, you hear them warming up

620
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,480
like there are professionals
here.

621
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,679
Rachel's not, but you know
others are.

622
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,840
The curtain rises and I I mean,
my version cuts to commercial,

623
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,960
which is kind of an interesting
way to do it.

624
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,400
Yeah.
Cuz then the next, the next

625
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,840
thing we see is her actually
just doing I'm the greatest star

626
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:31,760
as as any.
And what, my second giant.

627
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,760
Well, I have so many bugaboos
about how they run Broadway

628
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,679
here.
But like, Kurt's in the audience

629
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:40,440
and he's like pointing out the
New York Times critic as if the

630
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,560
critic is reviewing opening
night.

631
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:48,560
No, no, no, they do not.
They go to previews so that the

632
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,639
review can be posted right at
opening night.

633
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Yeah, they've already seen the
show.

634
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,320
It's done.
It's like it's over.

635
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:03,080
They've it's done over and done.
Like they're not.

636
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,080
Maybe they've come back.
I don't know.

637
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,640
But like, the critics have
already seen it.

638
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,000
And I feel like the writers know
this and just don't care to

639
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,320
build up the entire storyline of
the reviews, which is fine.

640
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,640
You still have that without
pretending like the critic is in

641
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,960
the audience, because you still
have to wait for the review to

642
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,000
come out.
Yeah, I just I, yes.

643
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,760
And because they they build on
the pressure of like like

644
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,680
opening night isn't pressure
enough, right.

645
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:40,280
You know, because Sue does some
does some bad audience behavior

646
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,080
and it's like she.
Leaves right in the middle of

647
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,240
the song.
Right in the middle of the song

648
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,640
and it's like, Oh my God, I hope
she didn't ruin it for the for

649
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,640
the reviewer.
It's like, dude, she doesn't.

650
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,080
Care he.
Doesn't.

651
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,600
Care literally doesn't care If
one person gets up and leaves,

652
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,160
they're probably if.
If someone leaves during the

653
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,160
show and a reviewer is in the
audience, if the reviewer

654
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,120
notices, they're probably
thinking, oh man, that person

655
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,800
probably has to pee.
Yeah, like.

656
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,840
It not that, Oh no, they're
walking out 'cause they don't

657
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,000
like it.
Right.

658
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,520
Like, especially if it's one
person, Like, get out of my

659
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,880
face.
Get out of my face.

660
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,960
Like, what are you doing?
Yes.

661
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,120
And here's, I'm not gonna call
it a bugaboo because it's not

662
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:28,560
about, like, the way that things
are designed for being a

663
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,400
Broadway person.
Rachel Berry has no stage

664
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,600
presence.
She really doesn't.

665
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,160
Like, I'm, I'm watching this
episode going like, OK, Lea

666
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,840
Michele is a Broadway baby.
She is.

667
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,840
This is like her thing.
This is her jam.

668
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:49,160
And she is just the stiffest,
like most cardboard cut out of

669
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,640
an actor pretending to be on
stage.

670
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,840
Like you would think she'd be
more comfy here.

671
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,480
This has always been my issue
with Rachel Berry is everyone's

672
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,080
like she's and honestly Lea
Michele.

673
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,600
I've never seen Lea Michele in a
Broadway show.

674
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,320
I also have no like interest in
doing it.

675
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,920
I didn't see Fanny like I don't
care.

676
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,920
So I've never seen her live in a
Broadway show.

677
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:23,200
I have seen Glee, right, and and
American Horror.

678
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,800
What was no what was she in?
She was in.

679
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,240
She played Hester.
Is that one of the American

680
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:29,840
Horror stories?
I have no idea.

681
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:35,360
I forget as Rachel Berry.
I just don't see this like star

682
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,320
power that literally everyone
sucks Dick over.

683
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,560
No, absolutely not.
Big voice, not my favorite

684
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,720
voice.
No.

685
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,240
Technical skill, great.
But like someone, it was one of

686
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,520
the reviewers of this episode
talked about how maybe the set

687
00:37:53,520 --> 00:38:01,360
design for Fanny was meant to
look like more of Rachel's

688
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:07,200
perspective being on stage.
So a very minimalist design of

689
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,320
the set, right?
Because the Glee production is

690
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,000
not going to build an entire
Broadway production, right?

691
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,440
And that would be insane.
So that the focus of the camera

692
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:24,600
on Rachel on, there's not a lot
of people on stage ever, there's

693
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,640
not a lot of set, there's not a
lot of prop.

694
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:32,520
It's just like you're looking at
her kind of in her perspective.

695
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,960
Right.
That it's focused on her.

696
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,080
You're kind of just seeing her
because you would be in her

697
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:44,880
body, but that kind of leaves
you as the viewer just staring

698
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:50,400
at a wooden character because
she doesn't fill her body very

699
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,440
well.
Right.

700
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,160
And it could be the camera
movements, right?

701
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,200
Sure, it could be a lot of
things.

702
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,840
And of course I say this not
having any skill or experience

703
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,400
being on camera.
Like I am not good on camera.

704
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,440
I could not do any of this.
No.

705
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,720
If you put me in front of a
camera, I am going to be a

706
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,240
tomato sweating buckets and I
might kill someone.

707
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,240
I don't want it, don't need it.
I have no desire to be perceived

708
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:21,160
by anyone, ever.
I lisp on a podcast right?

709
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,560
Like.
Don't make.

710
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,720
I want the valet, but I don't
want to be a.

711
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,600
Don't.
Don't make me read lines.

712
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,680
I won't remember them.
I'll cry, right?

713
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,440
I won't.
Remember them, I will cry.

714
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:37,440
Like props to anyone who has any
sense of self worth enough to be

715
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,160
able to get on stage and for
real shit themselves.

716
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:49,400
Absolutely for real.
And also and also like, yeah,

717
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,120
this was, this was not for being
an entire episode about how good

718
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,160
Rachel Berry was on stage.
They did not give us Rachel

719
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,320
Berry being good on stage.
And I know this can very much

720
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,600
sound to someone listening like
we hate Rachel and want to do

721
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,640
everything to carve her
character down.

722
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,200
And maybe.
And the flip side is the show

723
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,880
does everything it wants to
build her up undeserved.

724
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,040
Right.
She's got to earn it.

725
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:20,120
She's got to earn it.
And I guess the flip side of

726
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,720
that is like, it's a fucking Fox
Show that takes 42 minutes per

727
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:26,280
episode.
Like, yeah, OK, fine, you win.

728
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,800
Fine.
And This is why we have this

729
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,120
podcast.
This is fine.

730
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:35,440
Yeah, still.
If you are a Rachel truther, if

731
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,840
you're a Rachel defender, please
get in touch with us.

732
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,840
I'm desperate to talk to you.
I need to know what you know.

733
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,440
Yeah, and you know, some of it,
it's like maybe hindsight when

734
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,240
you're watching, when you're re
watching it after living another

735
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,360
decade and you're like, Oh my
God, get over.

736
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,960
Yourself.
Yeah, Jesus, 19 Like calm down.

737
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,080
Yeah, so we still have Sue and
our Chris Parnell character, who

738
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,800
does not yet have a name.
No.

739
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,960
They both leave the show and
meet up outside.

740
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,760
They got a cab thing going on.
He also hates the show and he's

741
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,800
like, I thought it was going to
be about a funny girl cuz jokes.

742
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:20,280
Turns out he's a restaurant tour
and he's kind of a big deal.

743
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,320
Gag me first of all.
This is never proven, he just

744
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,160
says it and part of me thinks
it's would be kind of funny if

745
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,080
he's just fucking lying.
Yes, for real.

746
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,880
But he asks Sue out on a little
a little datesy.

747
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,040
Get it, Sue?
And he takes her to.

748
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,160
I think the restaurant is the
same as his name.

749
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,000
Yes, in theory it's Mario's name
for him.

750
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,480
Mario.
The gem of Little Italy.

751
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,960
If he and I soak a demo of
Little Italy, I'd love to see

752
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,600
it.
Because his name is Mario, so

753
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,440
he's going to cook up a little
dish for her.

754
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,440
What?
OK, this restaurant was empty.

755
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,040
Empty.
They they left during the first

756
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,600
act.
It's like 7:30 at night.

757
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,160
Yeah, that's not a good shining
for.

758
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:08,160
Mario's poppin.
Like not not great.

759
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,120
The fact that he can just go
into the kitchen and just like

760
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,480
wander around like is not.
Not good.

761
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,160
It's not a good sign for Mario's
the gem of Little Italy.

762
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,320
I'm up front.
Maybe.

763
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,120
So he.
Asked one of his patrons.

764
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,480
He's one of his patrons asks
that she's married.

765
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,280
She gives him the that she's
divorced from herself.

766
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,800
It didn't work out.
Divorced.

767
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,400
Actually, I was briefly married
to myself, but it didn't work

768
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,400
out.
Actually, I thought that was

769
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,960
kind of funny.
It was hilarious.

770
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:44,040
But he's, he's married to the
city, you know, the way people

771
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,920
say.
I like my I like my mistresses

772
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,720
like I like my city.
Cruel, delicious and 100 stories

773
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:53,760
tall.
I would not have minded the

774
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,320
storyline if it like happened
somewhere else.

775
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,480
Yeah.
It's just like, it's such a

776
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,640
weird juxtaposition with yes,
opening night.

777
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:03,920
I.
Agree.

778
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,160
It's because this is like Sue's
big whirlwind night in New York

779
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,200
City that changes her mind about
the city.

780
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,880
Yeah, it is.
It's just a very short term,

781
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:21,080
consequence free storyline which
is just not what I want from my

782
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,360
TV shows.
Yeah.

783
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,680
I want a little more long term
storytelling.

784
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:27,840
Especially this close to the
end.

785
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,360
Yeah.
Yeah.

786
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,520
So he's like serving up a pasta
that she's not complaining

787
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,280
about, which is weird.
It's true.

788
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,440
And Sue is like, I did not
predict that I would meet

789
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,800
someone like, like you.
Like you.

790
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,160
And he's like, well, I think the
show would be better if it were

791
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:54,080
you above on that stage, which
cues into Act 2A funny girl of

792
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,880
Rachel singing Who Are you now?
And also like a dream sequence

793
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,600
of Sue on stage page singing Who
Are You Now?

794
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,320
And once again, my brain kind of
short circuits a little bit

795
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,800
because I forget every time that
Jane Lynch can sing.

796
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:13,120
No.
So we've got like both of them

797
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,080
singing and you have Mario and
Sue dancing in the empty

798
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,240
restaurant and.
Slow down.

799
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,640
Slow.
What?

800
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,960
Slow down.
No, no, not you, her, her, her.

801
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,640
She's like, she's like dancing,
slow dancing, but she's like

802
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,400
got, you know, like a swing beat
going on.

803
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,440
Like, girl, if you're if you, if
you've wrapped up a nice

804
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,440
stranger in your arms and you
might like to touch that

805
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,720
stranger's face with your face,
slow the fuck down.

806
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,880
Yeah, they're she's about to
like jiving dance across.

807
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,160
Yeah, jiving in there like whoa,
ladies.

808
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,960
About to get a full spin right
through all the tables.

809
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:54,760
Yeah, yeah, they're grooving.
And then Rachel is like crying

810
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,840
on stage.
Yeah, cuz in the minds eye of

811
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:04,200
the camera we get a shot to Finn
because earlier in the episode

812
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,360
she was talking about, you know,
I always think about him when I

813
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,640
when I sing this song and he's
just like so close to me and

814
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,680
then you know, etcetera,
etcetera.

815
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,600
So we get, you know, a shout out
to Mr. Finn Hudson.

816
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,000
Yeah.
Miss you, Finney.

817
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,120
It's a bummer, right?
Like this.

818
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,160
This whole show would be very
different.

819
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,160
Yeah, with him.
It really, really would.

820
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,920
And it's like, I know that the
only reason they're able to do

821
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,200
this kind of long term story is
because it happened for real

822
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,400
that we actually lost Cory
Monteith.

823
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,480
But I really appreciate the way
that the show hasn't forgotten

824
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,520
about him because like, Rachel
wouldn't forget about him, and

825
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,360
neither would she.
Right.

826
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,360
Yeah.
And so they didn't just, you

827
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:57,840
know, manifest him away.
It was a real, it's a real

828
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,040
ongoing kind of haunting.
He's still here.

829
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,280
Of course he's still here.
He's always here.

830
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:06,320
Yep.
And I just, I really appreciate

831
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,920
that.
I do too, it's just like, it's

832
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,320
also very sad.
It's also very sad, but like, so

833
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,440
is death sometimes.
Yes it is.

834
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,520
Yes it is, but I'm glad they
keep him in mind.

835
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,640
Me too.
Especially on this big night for

836
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,960
Rachel.
Yeah, cuz he'd be there.

837
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,920
He'd be so excited.
Have like roses.

838
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,560
They would have definitely
gotten, you know, married and

839
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,520
divorced and maybe married again
by this point.

840
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,680
But no matter where they were,
they would have grown up with

841
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:39,160
roses.
You have.

842
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,240
A pregnancy scare?
And.

843
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,000
You know, all sorts of things,
yeah.

844
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,800
Like a threesome with Quinn?
Yes.

845
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,680
Yes, Yep, Yep.
So I've had a lot going on.

846
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,280
For sure.
Which does bring us to the Post

847
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,360
show and all of her friends
celebrating in the dressing room

848
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,240
with no other cast members.
Nope.

849
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,320
Nobody else.
Rachel.

850
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,400
Just Rachel.
Rachel Berry Show.

851
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,800
Nobody else in the show but
Rachel and Quinn has sent

852
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,840
flowers.
Everyone else has sent flowers

853
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:12,960
even though they're not in the
show.

854
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,720
Puck Principal Figgins has sent
flowers.

855
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,600
That makes sense.
Yes, but.

856
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,680
Once again.
I'm just, I'm struck by how much

857
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,160
whoever wrote this episode
remembers about their program.

858
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,200
I know it's insane.
Like it is truly a little

859
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:38,040
unsettling, Like how much of
this world they remember.

860
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,320
I don't disagree like I'm.
I'm not, I'm not mad.

861
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:47,680
I'm in fact quite tickled, but
like it is a little unnerving.

862
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:53,040
Yep, it is a little like and
also like, so it could be like

863
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,200
this all the time.
Yeah, so it could be like this

864
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,160
all the time.
What's his name?

865
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,840
Sydney comes in to be like Bravo
yay I don't think.

866
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,400
You did it.
I don't think you were horrible.

867
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,880
Good job you haven't bankrupted
me yet.

868
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,480
There's still time.
Not today.

869
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,720
Not today.
I have a note here of this is

870
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:14,920
not how reviews come out and I
don't remember what the line

871
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,720
was, but I stand by it.
Well, 'cause he was talking

872
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:24,400
about that, you know, the
reviewer was there opening night

873
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,400
and that, you know, he's got to
do all of his like, good luck

874
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,280
charms before the review comes
out of the morning.

875
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:38,360
Oh yes, because they would have
the reviews by the cast party.

876
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,480
Yeah.
Like they yes, they would they

877
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:46,640
yes.
We had our reviews by the after

878
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,440
party, which really dictates the
tone of the after party.

879
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,520
Yeah, I bet.
So like, you are you.

880
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,480
You were there.
At the after party, yeah.

881
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,320
Yeah, yeah.
So like.

882
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,800
Spoiler alert for those of you
who don't know, Emily used to be

883
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,280
kind of a Broadway producer.
Spoilers.

884
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:06,320
Kind of.
You were.

885
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,600
You were there.
I was, I was there.

886
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:14,520
I remember all too well, like.
It, it really it, you're like on

887
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,400
your phone, like waiting for the
first person to get enough

888
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,200
reception to be like, here's the
first one through and everyone's

889
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,640
just kind of like, good, good.
Can we, can we keep, can we keep

890
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,800
partying?
Or is like everyone gonna go

891
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,000
home and drink?
Yeah, exactly.

892
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,200
Like, uh oh.
So yeah, you, you have the

893
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,760
party.
Not the next morning like you

894
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,320
would have had it the next
morning in the 60s and 70s.

895
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,800
Eighties like, not in 2013.
No.

896
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,280
That's why I wrote this is not
how that works.

897
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,720
But yeah, so Rachel's like, I
don't want to go to the cast

898
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:51,000
party.
I just want to hang out with my

899
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,040
friends, which is a terrible
look from your lead.

900
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,960
Like, isn't that I'm sitting
here going like, yes, isn't that

901
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:01,200
just incredibly rude?
Isn't that so fucking rude like

902
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:02,880
you?
Don't have to go to the after

903
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,320
after party.
You could go like split off for

904
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,080
your after afters right?
Like your third and 4th stops.

905
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,680
But yeah, you have to go to the
show, cast, party it as your

906
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,440
lead.
As your lead your.

907
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,360
Lead not showing up at the cast
party, no.

908
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,200
Yikes.
Opening night.

909
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:19,840
No.
Uh huh.

910
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,720
Shikes at the big Yikes.
Oh.

911
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,600
Man, yeah, page 6 would be
hearing about that shit.

912
00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:31,560
They would call page 6 from the
after party.

913
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,520
Oh yeah, you're like that.
People would be like, guess who

914
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:40,440
didn't show up at her own party?
Yeah, Oh yeah, it would be bad

915
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:41,160
news.
Bad news.

916
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,920
Bad News Bears.
Yeah, like trouble in whatever

917
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,560
already as lead doesn't come to
party.

918
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,160
Yeah, it would not be good.
No, no.

919
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:51,760
No.
No, no.

920
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,920
No.
Yeah, but Blaine knows a place

921
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,000
down in Greenwich Village where
they're going to love her.

922
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:03,760
Let me ask 1000 questions.
Blaine Anderson.

923
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,600
Warbler, Anderson What daddy gay
bar is this?

924
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,880
What place is this?
How did you find out about it?

925
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:15,880
Who is letting you in?
Like not that I don't think it's

926
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,400
an excellent place.
I had just have a lot of

927
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:25,880
questions like did he?
I don't think does Blaine own an

928
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:30,480
outfit appropriate for this bar.
I have to believe that he does.

929
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,800
I Aaron does, but Blaine
doesn't.

930
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,560
I also choose to believe that it
was purchased for him.

931
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:45,200
Not by Kurt.
Not by Kurt, maybe by Elliott.

932
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,760
Somebody else?
Yeah.

933
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,360
Somebody else purchased him an
outfit for this for this

934
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:56,080
location.
Like, damn, how did you find

935
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,800
this place?
Like, was he just walking by one

936
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,280
night and, like, heard music?
And then the guys inside were

937
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,680
like hello, hello.
Look at, look at this, look at

938
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,160
this small boy like hello.
Come here, Come inside, child.

939
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,600
Come inside.
Yeah.

940
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:14,080
I have AI just have 1000
questions.

941
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:18,440
I have 1000 questions for sure.
The bartenders are bare chested

942
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,280
with little bow ties.
There's men in mesh in cages.

943
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,960
I just I like there's a.
Lot of halters going on.

944
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,920
Lot of harnesses they have like
like people like just hanging

945
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,000
from the ceiling like there's
like a swing.

946
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:40,080
Is this a like a dance club?
Is this a sex club?

947
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,640
Is this like a?
It depends on the time of day.

948
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,320
Like a business in the front,
party in the back scenario.

949
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,360
Like I have so many questions,
I'd like to go there.

950
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,760
I wish this was a location I had
access to.

951
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,360
I would participate.
I feel like the main thing that

952
00:52:55,360 --> 00:53:00,560
they serve there are poppers.
I have so many questions but in

953
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:06,160
any case, I think my big beef
with this is that pumping blood

954
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,200
does not belong in this in this
location.

955
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,280
This is not AI.
Love the song, great.

956
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,240
Song.
But not for this.

957
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:20,600
It's it was a choice.
OK, so the gays recognize Rachel

958
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,440
Berry immediately, which did
piss me off.

959
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,040
Yes.
Because we've been tracking

960
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:29,160
Funny Girl for weeks like she's
not famous and the bartender

961
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,360
tells her that she has to sing
something because it's Broadway

962
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:32,840
tradition.
Fine.

963
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,640
But they they play Pumping
blood, I imagine because it was

964
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:41,080
popular at the time probably.
I imagine this was a song that

965
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,040
like they sourced.
Yeah.

966
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,840
And we're like, we love this.
How do we fit it in?

967
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,640
How do we just like, shoehorn
the shit in?

968
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,680
And like, I love this song.
I think it's great.

969
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,240
But it is like this one, OK.
Like really, it's danty.

970
00:53:57,240 --> 00:53:59,080
I don't know that it fits at a
leather daddy gay.

971
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:04,480
Bar but no, absolutely not.
How did they have this track

972
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,120
ready?
I have no idea.

973
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,040
But no I have no idea like I
don't understand.

974
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,960
It's one of my faves just
because it's so fun.

975
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,440
Like.
Like Blaine like smoothly

976
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:21,640
ripping his tie open.
Oh, somebody in that club, they

977
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,160
practiced.
They practiced.

978
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:27,840
Oh Darren, I watch Darren most
of this just because of how like

979
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,880
into it he is doing his little
dancy dances in the background

980
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,560
like that man's popping a button
like.

981
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,880
Let it, let it ride, Sir.
He was having a ball.

982
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,080
I remember when this came out
because, you know, Curt and

983
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,840
Blaine had been fighting, and
there's that one quick little

984
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,640
shot of Curt and Blaine and who
else on the bench and like Kurt

985
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,520
is like over their laps.
OK.

986
00:54:55,240 --> 00:54:57,960
It's just, it was like a nice
moment of, oh, they're touching.

987
00:54:58,520 --> 00:54:59,800
But they're touching.
They're touching.

988
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,200
Because again, like, they're at
a club and they're not grinding

989
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,440
on each other.
Like they're engaged and they're

990
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,320
not dancing together.
But there is a moment of like,

991
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,280
oh, oh, they're oh, oh.
Kurt is so upset that they

992
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,920
haven't been intimate in a month
and then you go to this club of

993
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,120
all places and you're not like,
up on him.

994
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:19,880
Exactly.
Exactly.

995
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:22,600
He's right there.
He's slowly taking all his

996
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,280
clothes off and you are not.
You're like on a swing instead.

997
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,960
I like I, I say this with all
the love in my heart.

998
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,000
I adore my husband.
I do.

999
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:36,520
I really wish I lived in just in
in a polite 10 minute alternate

1000
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,840
universe where I could go to
this club.

1001
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,640
It does have fun.
I am not in any condition to

1002
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:49,760
like spend a night bumping and
grinding in those heels like.

1003
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,920
Not.
I'm not 20 again, I no, I just

1004
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,680
turned 36.
I, I no, my body hurts.

1005
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,800
My body hurts thinking about it
and also.

1006
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:03,600
The sweat I would be sweating on
people would be a a hate crime

1007
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,680
it.
Would be atrocious, truly.

1008
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,560
Like you have to get her out of
here.

1009
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,920
Like I just, I, I want to take
all the nice parts of my life,

1010
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:17,880
rewind it 15 years and go to
this club like.

1011
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,880
Actually, could we start this
club at 8 and close it at 11?

1012
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,760
Thank you Can.
You turn the AC like lower.

1013
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,400
Please can.
We can we make it a nice crisp

1014
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,200
65 in here while I'm dancing.
Thank you so much.

1015
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,200
Thank you so much.
Actually if.

1016
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,640
You could just turn the music
down like 1.

1017
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,720
Let me just put my earplugs in.
Let me just put those in what we

1018
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:37,120
did.
Thank you.

1019
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,400
Hey I'm starting to get like a
headache.

1020
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,720
Can you turn the lights?
Just a little less strobing, but

1021
00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:46,920
thank you.
Hey, can I get like a class of

1022
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,200
tea?
Like it's a little.

1023
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:54,760
I'm just gonna.
So what we want is just for

1024
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,040
that.
In your living room when not in

1025
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,920
the club.
Yes, yes, Oh my God.

1026
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,240
But I'm having so much fun.
Thank you so much fun.

1027
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,160
Yeah, we're old.
My knee is giving out, but yes,

1028
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:07,880
thank you.
Thank you.

1029
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,120
I will be taking off my shoes.
Thank you so much.

1030
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,840
It sucks.
They're having a lot of fun in

1031
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,160
this club, you know, let it.
Ride Sam D Jing is so cute.

1032
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,960
So cute.
They're just, yeah, they're

1033
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:25,720
partying.
When they get back to the loft,

1034
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,680
though, everyone looks like
they've just been on a polite

1035
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,440
walk.
Like there's no smeared makeup,

1036
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,320
no sweat, not at all.
Rosy cheeks.

1037
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,240
I was like, come on.
Yeah.

1038
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,560
It's that was a little annoying.
I was like, not one hair at a

1039
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,160
place.
Not at all.

1040
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,920
Like the hair is still down.
Like my hair would have been up

1041
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:48,240
off my neck immediately.
Oh, absolutely.

1042
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,880
But yeah, no, everyone looks
perfect except the fact that

1043
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,560
Mario restaurant or Mario is
coming out of Kurt's bedroom

1044
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,040
wearing his robe.
I have questions.

1045
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:04,120
Because Sue had sex in his bed.
Yikes.

1046
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,640
And apparently everywhere else
in the loft.

1047
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:15,160
Yucky strangers.
Stranger Danger Rachel finally

1048
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,840
gives Sue a big old speech about
how shitty she was in high

1049
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:20,760
school.
There is a great moment,

1050
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,680
however, of some excellent
background acting because when

1051
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,080
they walked into the loft,
Blaine went directly to the

1052
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,520
bathroom.
Because obviously and in the

1053
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,800
middle of so, he missed Mario
coming out of the bedroom

1054
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,160
wearing wearing the robe.
Wearing Kurtz.

1055
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,840
Robe, Kurtz, Robe and Sue coming
out as well.

1056
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,200
So in the middle of Rachel
ranting at Sue about being

1057
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,680
rotten and miserable, Blaine
comes out of the bathroom in the

1058
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,880
background and has just got this
look of like, what?

1059
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,480
What's what's going on guys?
I also Speaking of background

1060
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,240
acting, I really love that you
know they all came in.

1061
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,600
Sam immediately sits down on the
couch and falls asleep.

1062
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:03,720
I love it so.
He's just sitting next to

1063
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,440
Santana, who's he's just asleep.
So he sleeps through the entire

1064
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,680
like Sue Chris Parnell adventure
of it all.

1065
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,000
It was.
I thought it was hilarious.

1066
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,720
He doesn't hear anything about
like you only find joy in

1067
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,520
people's misery.
And putting something on the

1068
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,240
couch.
Yeah, my group of friends is

1069
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,880
rallied together and your life
is sad and empty.

1070
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,680
Get the hot in my apartment.
He's just out of sleep.

1071
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,600
Just good night.
I love it.

1072
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,800
I thought that was great.
It was funny.

1073
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,240
So Rachel.
Rachel finally stands up to Sue

1074
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:39,640
Sylvester like.
Wow.

1075
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,360
OK, All right.
Cool.

1076
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,360
Good job.
That's cool.

1077
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:49,560
Good job, Gold Star, I guess.
I, I I like Sue, but whatever, I

1078
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,200
don't care.
Like OK.

1079
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,040
But now it is time for the
reviews.

1080
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:57,200
I guess we have forgotten.
Well, the show didn't forget

1081
00:59:58,560 --> 00:59:59,880
that.
They come out online because

1082
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,520
they go down and get a physical
paper from the newsstand and

1083
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,600
even the guys like it's going to
be online.

1084
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,640
They're going to e-mail it to
you in like a minute.

1085
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,200
And the production will e-mail
it to you as well, right?

1086
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,840
Rachel can't read it.
So Santana is the one who offers

1087
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,400
to read the review.
And then they do this like very

1088
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,720
cinematic thing of everyone
reads a sentence.

1089
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,280
And I thought that was adorable.
One might ask themselves why?

1090
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,800
Why revive Funny Girl, an iconic
show with an iconic star?

1091
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:32,480
Well, frankly, I can only come
up with a single answer and it's

1092
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:33,760
Rachel Berry.
Oh my.

1093
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,200
God.
Takes good spot to be willing to

1094
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,880
step into the great ones, knee
high lace ups and make fan of

1095
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,840
your own.
And Rachel has plenty of that

1096
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,600
clearly.
But she also has something else

1097
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:44,960
in spades.
Talent.

1098
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,400
Talent.
And the mountains of it.

1099
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:48,920
I'm not talking about the
Appalachians.

1100
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,120
Berry is the Alps.
I'm sure I could find thought on

1101
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,640
this green actresses
performance, but shame on anyone

1102
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,360
who would have the audacity to
criticize the bold mistakes of a

1103
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,320
supernova exploding.
Before our eyes.

1104
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,200
I just pray to God that no one
saw me secretly wiping my tears

1105
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:04,360
during her show.
Stopping.

1106
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:08,680
Who are you now?
I really, I really liked it.

1107
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:14,200
Now what I liked less is being
able to see into the future.

1108
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:21,160
And Rachel Berry receives A
glowing review from The New York

1109
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,280
Times.
The paper of record.

1110
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:32,880
She receives like an unfairly
good review from the New York

1111
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,840
Times.
Which mentions nobody else.

1112
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,560
Not the director, not any other
cast member.

1113
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,840
Just Rachel.
Just the Rachel Berry show and

1114
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,360
it drives me crazy because like
5 minutes after this the episode

1115
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:51,200
ends and the preview for episode
18 is Rachel compromises her

1116
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,360
spotted funny girl to audition
for television.

1117
01:01:53,360 --> 01:02:01,600
Like, actors will work their
entire careers without getting a

1118
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:06,560
mention in The New York Times.
We'll get into it next week.

1119
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,520
But, like, I'm still, like, OK.
But Rachel.

1120
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,800
Rachel Berry receives, shocking
a glowing review from The New

1121
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:19,080
York Times.
She is the specialist girl.

1122
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,360
And congratulations, special
girl.

1123
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:28,440
Yes, literal Gold Star for you.
Literal Gold Star.

1124
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:32,840
Congratulations.
Yes, I'm so happy for your

1125
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,720
production that won't be closing
after opening night.

1126
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:41,880
Good job, gold stars.
Now not to, you know, take her

1127
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:45,880
shine away, but Mr. Shoe calls
because Emma has had the baby.

1128
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,840
Yay.
A boy named Daniel, OH.

1129
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,520
The way my body was like, I'm
sorry, what show am I watching

1130
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,280
right now?
Daniel Finn Schuster.

1131
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,920
You know what?
OK, that's how you do it.

1132
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,720
That's how you do it.
But this is this is Danny Finn.

1133
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:07,160
This is Danny Finn.
Danny Finn Shuster he's happy.

1134
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:12,480
Rachel's happy everybody's happy
Curtain Blainer on the rocks So

1135
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:17,760
are we so are we.
Sue is walking down the street

1136
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,400
with Mario.
He OK, this is a reference to a

1137
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,720
movie and I can't think of it,
this whole situation and I.

1138
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:26,960
Have no idea.
I can't think of it.

1139
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,880
He wants her to stay in New
York, but she has a school to

1140
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,160
run and a daughter who needs
her, whose father is Michael

1141
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,320
Bolton.
And, and she gets into a cab and

1142
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,280
he's standing there and like,
this is a reference to a movie.

1143
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:43,880
And I can't picture it.
I, it's not like it's not

1144
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,680
Chinatown, but like, I can't
picture it.

1145
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:48,600
Or I, I can't think of the name.
And it's I.

1146
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,600
Have no, I have no idea, but
that shouldn't surprise anyone.

1147
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,600
That's trying to tell baby, but
that's not the movie because

1148
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:00,040
that's just the wrong genre.
But yeah, I can't.

1149
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,640
It's in there anyway.
So she she is not going to let

1150
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:07,600
her New York City fling keep her
from Lima and her school.

1151
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,560
But when she gets back to Sue's
Corner, she she admits that she

1152
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:15,560
no longer hates New York.
She loves it.

1153
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:22,360
It is alive with wonder and
possibility and pasta and it

1154
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:26,520
still smells like garbage.
And once again, I got to say,

1155
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,360
she's not wrong.
She's not.

1156
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,960
Wrong.
Yeah, that's how Sue sees it,

1157
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:32,680
with the hand motion and
everything.

1158
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,040
Somebody went back and watched
their old episodes.

1159
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:39,040
I love that.
Congratulations to credited

1160
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:44,440
writer Michael Hitchcock.
So it did it feel like a weird

1161
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,080
thing to end the show on though?
Like the Rachel Berry show

1162
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:48,880
ending it on Sue's Corner.
Yes.

1163
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,680
Yeah, I thought so too.
Like, I'm not mad about it

1164
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:57,160
because I like Sue, but I just
this whole episode for spending

1165
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:01,240
so long on the Rachel Berry Goes
to Broadway storyline, this

1166
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:09,240
didn't feel like enough for me
because we spent so much time on

1167
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:10,080
it.
Yeah.

1168
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:16,160
Yeah, like I didn't, I didn't
want to watch the whole show.

1169
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,040
No.
Like, I didn't, I didn't want to

1170
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:24,800
watch a Broadway show, but yeah,
like the entirety of Season 5 is

1171
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,440
Rachel going to Broadway, And
then half of the episode is

1172
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,920
Sue's date with someone we don't
see again.

1173
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,360
Right.
And that doesn't feel very

1174
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:33,840
strange.
It's.

1175
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:39,160
A little odd, it's just it's a
Rachel episode and I didn't care

1176
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,200
for it.
And as much as I love Sue

1177
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,000
Sylvester, this was weird for
her.

1178
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,960
It was weird for her, I know.
Like, so you know, Glee is just

1179
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:54,000
not hitting necessarily all the
the things it usually hits, or

1180
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,520
at least it used to hit.
It doesn't hit those things

1181
01:05:56,520 --> 01:06:00,960
anymore.
No, especially when you know

1182
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,600
what's coming.
Right.

1183
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:06,320
You're like, oh, good for your
show that you leave.

1184
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:08,880
Immediately.
You leave Immediately.

1185
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,840
I never have enough answers
truly.

1186
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:19,720
Ryan Murphy once again, if you
would like to come on here.

1187
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,720
And defend your actions.
And explain yourself.

1188
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:27,320
You are free too.
We'll be right here.

1189
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,600
We'll be waiting.
OK, Well do you have a favorite

1190
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,880
song?
My favorite song is the Rachel

1191
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:38,200
one where she cried over Finn.
Who are you now?

1192
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:39,880
That's the one.
That's the one.

1193
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,680
I think mine's got to be pumping
blood just because I like the

1194
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,400
song.
This is your height.

1195
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:55,640
It's alive.
It's called things like it is

1196
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,120
your height.
It's alive.

1197
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,640
It's.
Called things like and the whole

1198
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:13,000
of those whistle, yeah.
Not necessarily it's location,

1199
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,320
but like, well, I like, I mean,
they're all having fun.

1200
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,760
I like it, it's a good song.
It's a fun scene too.

1201
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,120
It's a fun scene.
Everyone's dancing, dancing.

1202
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,560
Do do do do do do.
Exactly.

1203
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:27,240
Do you have a favorite line?
Oh my God, literally just

1204
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:28,680
everything that comes out of
Tina's mouth.

1205
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,120
Every single thing that comes
out of Tina Cohen Chang's mouth.

1206
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,760
I think it's what if Rachel
needs my love and validation

1207
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,720
from the buffet.
Yes.

1208
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,800
I think it's for me.
Yeah, that's a pretty good one.

1209
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:49,840
And you?
I there wasn't a ton.

1210
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,600
There's in the cold open when
the the crowd is heckling her,

1211
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,360
one of them says, like, even
though you have no business

1212
01:07:58,360 --> 01:07:59,800
being on stage, shouldn't you be
up there?

1213
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,040
I was like, Ouch.
Ouch.

1214
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,400
Yikes.
Which did remind me about a

1215
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,040
complaint I had that we didn't
talk about.

1216
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:14,840
Oh excellent, do it.
It's in the scene after the

1217
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:19,840
first act when people are
visiting Rachel at intermission,

1218
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,120
which is an insane thing to do,
right?

1219
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:27,680
And Sydney comes in just to be
like, hey, no pressure, Rachel

1220
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,279
says, kind of quietly.
Like oh, I made some changes in

1221
01:08:30,279 --> 01:08:33,000
the first act.
No, no, no, no.

1222
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,920
Abso fucking lutely you did not.
No, no, no, ma'am.

1223
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:41,240
No, no, no and no don't.
You can't change.

1224
01:08:41,319 --> 01:08:43,880
You can't change the show.
You can't.

1225
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:49,640
You can't.
It's not ad libs anyway, no.

1226
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,840
OK, so what's that thing that we
liked because we end on a

1227
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:53,960
positive note here at Phantom on
the Rocks.

1228
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:58,800
We have ended on lots of
positive things, OK, I don't

1229
01:08:58,800 --> 01:08:59,880
know.
That thing I like.

1230
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:02,120
I like that Quinn sent her
flowers.

1231
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:04,800
Yeah, that's her girlfriend.
That's her girlfriend.

1232
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:10,080
I love that for her.
I love that Santana, despite you

1233
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,240
know her best efforts, still
comes through for her number one

1234
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,600
girl.
Yes, this is true.

1235
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:22,840
I really like the amount of Sue
Sylvester we got this episode.

1236
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:25,680
Yes, yes.
And how little shoes are

1237
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,399
actually.
How little shoes there?

1238
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,960
Was.
Ye.

1239
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:38,359
I liked the cold open.
I thought the dream sequence was

1240
01:09:38,359 --> 01:09:40,479
fun.
Oh God it was hilarious.

1241
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,840
I I enjoyed that a lot.
That was so funny.

1242
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,439
Cuz I I got I got a glimpse of
warbler plane again and I missed

1243
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:50,920
that guy.
That is what I liked.

1244
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,680
OK, I guess that that is opening
night.

1245
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:03,760
I sure hope their ticket sales
are good and that they're the

1246
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,360
rest of their cast can hold it
together.

1247
01:10:05,480 --> 01:10:09,040
Yeah, for real.
Cause rat row.

1248
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,480
Cause storms are coming.
Rat row.

1249
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:20,080
Yeah, it's a shame.

I think that one's the backup
plan, which is not the episode

1260
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,720
that Chris wrote.
That is the one after that.

1261
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,440
I understand.
That's the one after that old

1262
01:10:58,440 --> 01:11:02,000
dog, New tricks, which you know,
I'll remember is the Peter Pan

1263
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,280
outfit.
Yeah.

1264
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:10,120
