Glee on the Rocks: 5x18 - "The One Where Rachel Risks It All for No Reason"

1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,520
Can you imagine that you've paid
$300 to go see a show and then

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,920
just some random person is the
lead fucking?

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:06,920
Hilarious.
See ya.

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,120
You're listening to Glee on the
Rocks.

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,400
The numbers are just terrifying.
Hello, Welcome back to Cleo on

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,160
the Rocks, a Phantom on the
Rocks podcast.

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,120
I am Emily.
And I'm Mandy.

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,880
And this is Season 5 episode 18,
The Backup Plan.

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Another Rachel hate episode on
our part.

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,080
So if you love her, skip it.
Yeah, if you love her, then I'm

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120
sorry.
And I, we have said this before.

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,280
You may have even said it last
week.

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,400
We would love to have the
perspective of someone who loves

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,040
Rachel on here.
Lea Michele, if that's you.

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,520
Yeah, yeah, really.
Ryan Rugby or Lea Michele if

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,800
either of you would like to come
on the podcast.

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,240
You are free to come talk to us
and explain yourselves.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,640
The rundown of this episode is
Rachel jeopardizes her Funny

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,480
Girl lead when she auditions for
ATV show.

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,640
Pilot episode aired April 29th,
2014 and was directed by Ian

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,040
Brennan who has shown back up
for this episode.

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,440
So we open and it has only been
three weeks since opening night,

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,680
which was the last episode.
She's got across the board

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,600
raves, rumors of a Tony
nomination.

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,960
She is flying high.
She has signed with a top talent

26
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:41,760
agency, ICA Innovative Creative
Artists.

27
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,640
Yeah.
I also wanted to ask you from

28
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,200
your Broadway perspective, would
she get Tony buzz in three

29
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,240
weeks?
Is that realistic like?

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,440
Sure.
Yeah, that's that's realistic

31
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,920
with the raves from the reviews.
What we don't get are what the

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,680
sales are like.
We have no idea from the show if

33
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,400
they're actually selling
tickets.

34
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440
OK.
I guess besides, like that

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,280
opening night being sold out
would be pretty obvious.

36
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,880
Yeah, like.
Opening night's going to sell

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,800
out, sure, but like, what's your
runway?

38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,240
Are you selling tickets months
out or are you already at the

39
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,880
TKTS booth?
Like no shade to the TKTS booth.

40
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:35,080
I love it.
But like how it's it's probably

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,160
not a cheap show.
It probably wasn't cheap to

42
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,800
capitalize because it's a
musical and musicals are

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,120
expensive.
And given how they run this

44
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,560
show, it's probably expensive.
But yeah, like a Tony

45
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,760
nomination.
Like the buzz for a Tony

46
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,240
nomination, Sure.
That's just Broadway boards

47
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,640
being like, she's so special.
That doesn't really mean

48
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,920
anything other than there's
buzz.

49
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:05,040
There's rumors.
Like who are the rumors coming

50
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,640
from?
Who knows, Could be anyone,

51
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,560
could be some guy at Playbill
in, like, whatever.

52
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Yeah.
But she, like, we see her

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,680
walking down the street and,
like, she signs a homeless man's

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,400
newspaper blanket.
And I was like, of course, we're

55
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,040
still making fun of homeless
people on this show.

56
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,800
Love that.
But she gets a meeting with an

57
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,640
agent who is played by Richard
Kind, because for some reason

58
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:35,760
they blow their budget of this
episode on guest stars.

59
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Yeah, I literally was thinking
that.

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,800
I mean, I love Richard kind.
No, no offense to him, but what

61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,720
what you doing here, Sir?
I have no idea.

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Right.
It's chock full of guest stars.

63
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,280
There's like Shirley MacLaine
and Richard Kind and yeah, Eric

64
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,840
Roberts is like in the
background in the scene.

65
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,720
I I don't, I don't get it.
Why?

66
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,560
Why are you all here?
Yeah.

67
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Meanwhile, most of the main cast
is not.

68
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,560
There's no Artie, there's no
core or there's no Sam.

69
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Tina's gone again.
Like where?

70
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,440
There's.
Yeah, but we got guest stars.

71
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,680
But he.
He's got this.

72
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,360
Like, we've got you a whole
team.

73
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,120
And what does Rachel Berry want?
We're gonna we're gonna parlay

74
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,680
your Broadway show into a movie
career and get you on a hit TV

75
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,200
show because that's like Lea
Michele's career, I guess.

76
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,520
Yeah, well, that's what she
wanted.

77
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,680
That's what she wanted.
But then she said he says that

78
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,720
she has a face for radio.
Because once again, we are

79
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,200
trying to pretend like Lea
Michele is not gorgeous.

80
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,080
Yeah I don't get it it it didn't
work in fucking season 1 of Glee

81
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,720
when she was supposed to not be
able to like get any friend.

82
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,880
Well personality wise I get why
she had no friends but there

83
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,400
still would have been horny
teenage guys.

84
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,120
For sure.
She's skinny and tiny and

85
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,880
gorgeous.
Like what are we trying to do

86
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,600
here?
Or once again, calling her too

87
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,200
Jewish for TV with a nose?
Like what are we doing here?

88
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,720
You.
You are in New York.

89
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:14,080
Yeah, that makes no sense.
What is happening?

90
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,120
It's like you're gonna play
Fanny Bryce for 15 years and you

91
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,520
can just see her whole face.
Like, no, I won't be doing that.

92
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,920
Which sets up this entire
episode of her being like, what

93
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,120
am I doing with my career?
Like you just got the job.

94
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,280
Yeah, like your career just
started.

95
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:34,240
Just chill.
You're 19, you which other

96
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,080
people will tell her like you
just got your dream job.

97
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,640
Yeah.
Slow your fucking roll, man.

98
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,080
Why what?
What is this episode trying to

99
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,680
tell anybody?
It's such a it is a confusing

100
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,840
episode.
Like the point of it is just

101
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,960
confusing.
Well, because then we go to Curt

102
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,280
and Blaine and Niata is abuzz
because some rando named June

103
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:59,760
Dalloway, played by Shirley
MacLaine, is coming to the

104
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,480
school because they're renaming
a dance studio after her.

105
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,760
And Kurt has been picked to
perform at the ribbon cutting.

106
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,280
And she's like a big socialite.
She's a patron of the arts.

107
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,560
And Kurt wants to sing Story of
My Life by One Direction.

108
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,920
I don't understand that choice.
It's gotta again.

109
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,080
I think they picked it because
it was a big song at the time.

110
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,440
Yeah, I mean, they'd had had to
be.

111
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,800
Was it in 2014?
When did it?

112
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Come out.
It looks like it was released in

113
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,520
2013.
OK.

114
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,000
So yeah, that that would have
made timeline sense.

115
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,440
And it's a Columbia record song.
Oh so it was kind of 1 of theirs

116
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,680
anyways in house.
That makes sense.

117
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,440
Yeah, and Kurt's gonna have
Blaine sing with him because of

118
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,560
all the vocal layerings.
And unlike the previous

119
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,640
episodes, he's like, we're
A-Team.

120
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,960
If something exciting happens to
one of us, it happens to both of

121
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,200
us.
Like where was this energy

122
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,680
before?
I OK, so I actually had to look

123
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,960
up the writer of the episode and
Roberto, I can't say that.

124
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Yeah, he's, he got her back a
lot of times.

125
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,120
OK, he's a cleaner.
He is a cleaner and I really

126
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,320
like watching this made me wish
that he were just crafting the

127
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,880
entire storyline going forward
cause like, well, this wasn't

128
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,240
perfect at all.
It was like, OK, you're giving

129
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,080
us Curt and Blaine and you're
giving us like something between

130
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,640
them that isn't I love you, I
don't want to be with you.

131
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,000
I love you.
I don't want to be with you.

132
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,960
It's.
Felt like 2.

133
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,080
People.
Yeah, trying to work together,

134
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Yeah, even if it's a little
complicated, it's.

135
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:39,160
Yeah, again, not perfect, but
like also two wannabe

136
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,960
entertainers going to a drama
school.

137
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Actually, a situation where like
one of them gets chosen for

138
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,480
something and never doesn't kind
of make sense.

139
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,320
There's gonna be not that they
would be trying out for the same

140
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,400
roles.
No.

141
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,480
Unlike the what was it they were
all trying out for Tony in West

142
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,960
Side Story?
Like, would you be, though?

143
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,680
No, no, come on, Kurt.
No.

144
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,360
But yeah, he's like, it's gonna
we're doing our thing together.

145
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,840
And they're so happy.
All of a sudden, after the

146
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,080
previous couple episodes, you're
like, yeah, let's keep this

147
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,080
energy.
Maybe Roberto was like, I don't

148
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480
feel like watching those
previous episodes either, so

149
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,640
it's like, let me just
extrapolate where they should be

150
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,080
in their relationship.
It's like I saw that I hated it

151
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,720
and I'm not going to do it, and
we're moving on from that shit

152
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,560
and we're keeping them together.
Never mind that they don't

153
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,480
actually live together.
And we also have Mercedes and

154
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,720
Santana as our other C plot.
I guess it's C plot.

155
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,200
They really layered them.
They were like A plot, B plot, C

156
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,840
plot and nobody's talking to
each other in between them.

157
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,360
Yeah, there's there's almost no
interaction, or maybe none.

158
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,840
Kurt talks to Rachel like, once,
Yeah.

159
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:54,440
And Mercedes is finishing up her
album that she's come to New

160
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,400
York to work on, and she's like,
she's come home and she's

161
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,360
finished her album.
But the producers, he didn't

162
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,360
hear a single on the record,
which is I see that being a

163
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,080
problem because trying to sell
units.

164
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400
And if there isn't a single,
like what do you put out on the

165
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,880
radio or on Spotify first
listen?

166
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:19,040
Like, however they're doing it
this these days and Santana's

167
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,880
like, well, fuck those people,
you're awesome.

168
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,960
And actually has some
vulnerability in telling her

169
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,720
that she would kill to be where
Mercedes is, like making music

170
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,280
and making it in New York 'cause
she's like the one of them just

171
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,080
vibing at the diner.
Yeah.

172
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,320
Which kind of sucks 'cause she's
super talented, I mean.

173
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,480
She's just, I don't want to be
extra mean to Lea Michele, but

174
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,840
like she has many positives that
Rachel both don't.

175
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,680
Yes, yes she does.
That I feel like would not only

176
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,640
make her like equally talented,
but it better to work with.

177
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Yeah, yeah.
Which I Mercedes sees as well,

178
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,640
'cause she's like whenever we
sing together, it's magic and

179
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,920
wants Santana to work with her
on this like final song of the

180
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,760
album, which is like a weird way
of setting up an album.

181
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,880
It's not like she's just making
a bunch of songs and then

182
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,160
picking which go on the record.
She's.

183
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:18,720
I wondered how like 'cause I
don't know shit about records.

184
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,560
The only situation like that I
ever followed was Darren's never

185
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,560
getting made.
So I was like, well, that seems

186
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,840
realistic from what I know.
The lost record?

187
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,080
Yeah, somewhere on a shelf.
Yeah.

188
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,400
I just, I don't feel like we
hear about artists going.

189
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,280
I have to write 12 songs.
It feels like they talk about

190
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:47,000
writing until they're done and
then picking the the songs that

191
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,840
feel like a cohesive album.
Yeah, they they are just writing

192
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,360
music.
And then eventually they're

193
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,840
like, wait, this will work.
Yeah, and that, that's all I've

194
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,720
ever heard from people in that
arena.

195
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Not that I've ever written a
song, 'cause no thank you.

196
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Don't have that talent would be
delightful, but that's not me.

197
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,480
So it's like she has one song
left.

198
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,920
Like, I don't know that's how
that works.

199
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,040
But musicians correct us if you
want to.

200
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,120
But yeah, she wants Santana on
her final song of the album,

201
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,520
which is nice 'cause you know,
Santana deserves good things

202
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,440
too.
Yeah.

203
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,760
I'm never mad about a Santana
merci pair up in an episode.

204
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,520
Never like they not that they
could have a spin off, but they

205
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,080
could definitely just like
anytime they sing together.

206
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,920
I'm happy about it.
Come again?

207
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,720
My friend, come again?
Oh.

208
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,480
Guys, you know you better watch
out some girls, some girls are

209
00:11:50,480 --> 00:12:07,120
lonely.
I mean this do OP isn't like my

210
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,480
favorite but it's.
Not but compared to the A plot,

211
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720
every time this came on I wasn't
like I need to Fast forward.

212
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,240
Yeah, exactly.
So like just going into it,

213
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,480
they're they go to the studio
and they're like trying to

214
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,000
harmonize and whatever, but
they're not feeling it.

215
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,720
And Santana does this whole
thing like, well, you moved to

216
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,240
New York to get a New York vibe
and we need to get you out of

217
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,280
the studio.
So they sing Lauren Hills, Doo

218
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Wop that thing while like
roaming through elevators and

219
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,080
bathrooms and like a warehouse.
Not.

220
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,560
Entirely sure where they are to
get this like real sound vibe

221
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,040
and the producer's like this is
great we're gonna record your

222
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,080
last song down here in this like
dungeon.

223
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,840
OK 'cause that's the real New
York is a.

224
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,120
Dungeon.
The shots of him just following

225
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,920
them around were like, OK.
They're pretty funny, Yeah.

226
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,800
He looks like like a nature
recorder, like out in Central

227
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,640
Park, like recording bird song.
Yeah, that's the vibe.

228
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,400
Like I guess if it works it
works.

229
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:18,560
The the Wikipedia said that set
was the underneath of the Doctor

230
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,160
Phil show.
Oh, oh, that's hilarious.

231
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,200
And there's something so scary
about that.

232
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,320
Yeah.
Like two women of color

233
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,920
underneath the Doctor Phil show.
That's a little little backroom,

234
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,400
this little ominous.
Yeah, I it's like you need to

235
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,960
leave.
Please get out of there while

236
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,280
you're still safe.
So the next time we see Rachel,

237
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,960
she is at her theatre getting
ready for Fanny while singing a

238
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:57,960
slow down version of Wake Me Up.
So wake me up when it's all

239
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,320
over, when I'm wiser and I'm.
Older.

240
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,480
All this time I was finding
myself.

241
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:19,800
I didn't know I.
Was.

242
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,600
I was so mad about this.
I I listened to like 1520

243
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,280
seconds of it and then I was
like, I'm good.

244
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,040
Because she it's supposed to
show her going through the

245
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,600
repetition of eight shows a
week, singing Wake Me Up When

246
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,440
It's All Over.
Like, for one thing, you've been

247
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,000
doing this for three weeks.
It's three weeks, bitch.

248
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,320
Like what?
24 shows what are you talking

249
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,600
about?
And actually someone up in the

250
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,000
thing says 46 down 5000 more to
go if we're lucky.

251
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,120
Like yeah, if you are fucking.
Lucky.

252
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,880
Literally it would be lucky.
Like that would be the the

253
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,400
optimum outcome.
That's the show's dream, is to

254
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,760
run for years like people we've
had to suffer through, like the

255
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,920
fucking Lion King and Phantom
and Chicago taking up theater

256
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,680
space space for decades.
Like you should be so lucky to

257
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,560
be on for a year or two.
Why are we supposed to feel bad

258
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,280
for her that she's sad and tired
after three weeks?

259
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,520
This was your hood lifelong
dream.

260
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,880
This is like the equivalent of
someone who like made it through

261
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,640
all of high school without
having to learn how to study

262
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,680
just because they had some basic
good grades.

263
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,240
Yeah.
She kind of like coasted through

264
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,560
on talent without having to
really but work in.

265
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,200
And now it's like, wait, you
expect me?

266
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Like this is a job.
You mean, yeah, it's a job, It's

267
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,200
your dream, but it is a job.
Yeah, You are the you are

268
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,600
leading and responsible for the
jobs of hundreds of people.

269
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,240
Which is not something they even
like, I don't know.

270
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Rachel, for one thing, doesn't
give a shit.

271
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,680
But like, I don't know, you're
still supposed to be rooting for

272
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,720
a kinda, I mean, I know the.
Are you though?

273
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,680
Is that like like?
Does the show want you to root

274
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,440
for Rachel?
It's such an it has to be a

275
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,680
question, right?
Like.

276
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,080
I mean, if they really did, then
they did it badly.

277
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,120
Yes.
Yeah, but like.

278
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,600
Yeah, and and so this dude walks
in Le Paul Blatt, which I'm sure

279
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,760
they had fun making up that
name, but I was like, I hate it.

280
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,440
Thank you.
And he is an exec from Fox TV.

281
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,080
Lucky that, yeah.
And he's there for upfront and

282
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,440
Glee always was that upfront.
So it's like a whole meta thing

283
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,400
And he, well, one, he just walks
into her fucking dressing room,

284
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,120
which is so weird.
That's strange, especially

285
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,920
'cause she's, she's still like
19, right?

286
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,480
She's still a teenager.
Just I'm like there's no one

287
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,360
around and he wasn't introduced
by anyone.

288
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,560
Like no PA brought him back.
No like what is going on?

289
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,040
Like what time is it too?
Like there's no activity.

290
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,320
I don't.
That's true.

291
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,119
I didn't think about that.
Don't understand.

292
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,680
And he's there because he is
working on a pilot that he

293
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,160
thinks Rachel would be fantastic
for and he wants Rachel to come

294
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,839
to LA to test for it.
And the show is called Song of

295
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:18,160
Solomon, and I actually kind of
like this character just because

296
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,119
of the way he talks.
I mean, I, I, I like him, yeah.

297
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,640
Like I'm kind of into him.
I would if he had been a multi

298
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:28,520
episode arc.
Like if he just kept showing up

299
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,280
throughout the series, I would
have been like, great, whatever.

300
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,000
I mean, I, I love, I love Jim
Rash so.

301
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,000
I just think it's it's fun.
He makes sense for like a

302
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,680
douchey exact but without
thinking Rachel's like yes no

303
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,480
consideration that she's fully
not only is she fully employed,

304
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,520
she's a student and has a part
time job at the diner.

305
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,320
Do they wait?
I don't remember.

306
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,960
Did they address the diner in
last week or this week?

307
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,320
Are we supposed to think she's
still working there whilst it

308
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,800
was Broadway?
They do because because for

309
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,400
opening night they have a whole
thing about is it an opening

310
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,920
night or isn't it tested?
I forget which one it is.

311
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,000
There's a whole thing in one of
the episodes with her and

312
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Thibodeau about her not being
present and like failing a bunch

313
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,720
of her classes.
Remember.

314
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,760
Yeah, I just wasn't sure if like
after the show actually started

315
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,880
she was still doing that, but
like.

316
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,920
I think it's assumed she's
still.

317
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,080
Oh well, maybe she's quit.
I think maybe she's quit school

318
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,120
now.
Yeah, but I.

319
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,440
Think she's still at the diner?
OK yeah.

320
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,720
Oh my God, this show.
I know.

321
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:49,720
So the audition is next Tuesday
in Los Angeles and and Lee Paul

322
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,960
Blatt is like, just get your
understudy to perform.

323
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:57,880
It's fine.
OK, so at at the diner, Rachel

324
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,080
is talking to Sydney and he's
like, the show was a hit.

325
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,400
OK, great.
But Rachel is already she's like

326
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,200
it.
I'm just feeling the wear and

327
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,440
tear of eight, shows A.
Week 3 fucking weeks.

328
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,920
And, and I just, I think I need
some time off before it it gets

329
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,760
to me.
And I like that Sydney's

330
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,440
immediate reaction is.
He's going to give you.

331
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,280
AB12 drip and also shoot
steroids down your throat.

332
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,560
Yeah.
Get you right back out there

333
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,360
Broadway shows do have like an
in house doctor and and every

334
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,880
like you line up and everyone
gets like AB12 shot in their ass

335
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,280
like it's a whole thing that's.
Amazing.

336
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
But she's already, like, there.

337
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,960
Just tell him.
I don't know.

338
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,200
I see why she can't tell him the
truth, but she has.

339
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,560
No, she's 19, right?
Like her brain is not working.

340
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,440
Yeah.
And it, it is not occurring to

341
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,600
her how many people are involved
in this show and how many jobs

342
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,240
are at stake.
And, and honestly, Glee doesn't

343
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,000
really bring that up either.
Yeah, I was going to say that

344
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,680
like she's 19 of it all is the
most realistic explanation for

345
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,400
like the shitty decision she
makes.

346
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,920
It doesn't explain why anyone
would cast an inexperienced 19

347
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,440
year old.
You know if when you're like

348
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,480
into drama school.
She's not even out of drama

349
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,880
school.
She hasn't had an Off Broadway

350
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:21,800
show.
Yeah.

351
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,400
Like I It has never made sense.
It's simply, I think, to make

352
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:33,720
Lea Michele happy like the Alan
Genu, Like, this is the life you

353
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,640
have.
Like, OK, but it it it is bad.

354
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,080
And and when Rachel goes to talk
to Kurt about this and she's

355
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,160
like, OK, but I have this other
chance now.

356
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,840
And Kurt's the one to be like,
lady, you've already made it.

357
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,480
You had the one in a million
chance that everybody dreams of.

358
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,840
What are you doing?
Like, and I appreciated that had

359
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,760
them like at least having a
character point that out because

360
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,640
yeah.
Yeah, totally.

361
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,400
And and Rachel's like, well,
everyone wants to work in TV and

362
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,680
film.
Like I mean, not necessarily

363
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,160
not.
Everyone.

364
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,680
Not everyone.
And Kurt, again, is the one

365
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,880
who's like, but how many of them
quit after like, less than a

366
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,240
month?
And Rachel has the gall to be

367
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,880
like, you wouldn't say no to the
audition.

368
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,720
And I wanted him to be like, I
don't have a job.

369
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:28,160
Like, of course he wouldn't say
no.

370
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,440
He's unemployed.
You're gainfully employed in

371
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,840
your not just like in a show,
but it's like your fucking dream

372
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,120
role.
The thing we've had to hear you

373
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:43,720
talk about for five seasons.
Yeah, like I, I will take back

374
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,840
me saying that we're supposed to
root for Rachel because I do

375
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,960
think in this instance we're
supposed to know she's making a

376
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,160
stupid decision.
It has to be.

377
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,360
That has to be right.
Yeah.

378
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,760
It's just that consistently Glee
is like, OK, well, she, she did

379
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,000
that, but she is so talented.
Yeah, exactly.

380
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,400
Like we're supposed to want it
to work out for her by wanting

381
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,360
her to make the right decision,
not by hating her for why she's

382
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:10,840
making the stupid ones.
And then the same way she treats

383
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,880
her friends too.
Like, yeah, OK, well she was an

384
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,640
asshole to them, but she is so
talented.

385
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Like, OK, yeah, but her little
half assed apologies and

386
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,560
everyone just capitulates
because she's so talented.

387
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,040
And I don't know if it's in this
scene or another one or maybe

388
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,440
it's just in my brain where
someone, oh, maybe it's not even

389
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,320
in someone tells someone like
there's a million of you.

390
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,000
Like you're not the only star in
the city.

391
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,680
I mean, it's true.
So yeah.

392
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,680
Like it's not just you out there
who can do these things.

393
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,880
And I don't know that ever lands
with her I.

394
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,960
Mean it'll be real.
I don't think that's ever landed

395
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,520
with Leah.
No, I don't think it has.

396
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,440
There's I think one of the
biggest flaws with Glee has been

397
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,920
like the late season character
bleed.

398
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,040
And I think sometimes it's
accidental.

399
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,040
And I think a lot of the times
it's on purpose.

400
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,760
And when it's on purpose, you're
like, OK, shut the fuck up.

401
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,600
When it's accidental, you're
kind of like, all right, yeah,

402
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,760
fine, but.
No, I mean, he absolutely get

403
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,520
that.
Yeah.

404
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,280
I mean up to and including
Darren, just like Blaine going

405
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,000
full Darren Darren's own songs.
Yes.

406
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,680
And very daring songs, not
Blaine songs.

407
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,840
Like so I mean like, like coming
up here, you're just like

408
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,360
that's.
Yeah, he's like, obviously I

409
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:45,320
like that, but he's still the
huge character bleed.

410
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,760
Yeah.
Like are is this even an episode

411
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,520
of Glee anymore?
Am I just watching the actors

412
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,640
perform?
Yeah.

413
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,600
And that's, and it happens with
Kurt when I think Chris just

414
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,680
gets into the writers room and
you're like, well, that's not

415
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,200
even.
Oh, definitely.

416
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,480
Yeah, Kurt, anymore I'm just
watching Chris play on screen

417
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,760
because he wants to show off.
Take his clothes off.

418
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,480
Yeah, like I OK, good for you.
I'm so happy.

419
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:14,240
But like, it's not really what
I'm looking for in this

420
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,080
situation.
So we have June Dollaway here,

421
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,800
and it's this dance Lab opening
night.

422
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:24,040
And Kurt and Blaine are actually
pretty cute in their little

423
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,160
coordinating outfits.
Except for Kurt's stupid

424
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,960
neckerchief.
Yes.

425
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:33,440
Which is fucking ugly.
And they're singing story of my

426
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,040
life.
They could not be sitting

427
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,200
further apart on stage.
I know.

428
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:45,960
Kurt singing like a Mouseketeer
and Blaine is performing like

429
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,320
this is the most important
evening he has ever participated

430
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,880
in.
I mean, I'm, I'm guessing they

431
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,880
read the scripts and was like,
hey, we need to play this in a

432
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,880
certain way, but it didn't
matter for the best performance.

433
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,760
It did not.
They were doing 2 separate

434
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,840
things and I assuming that was
on purpose.

435
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:08,120
Yeah.
But at times it was like,

436
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,360
Blaine, you are doing too much
here.

437
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:18,760
Like the It's not that deep.
Why are we during the song?

438
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,360
He was playing it for all it's
worth.

439
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Yes he was.
And like he kneels in front of

440
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,080
June, he's like kissing her hand
and then Kurt does it but just

441
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,840
looks like he is grasping for
attention.

442
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,720
Which?
Yeah, yes, yeah, he is.

443
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:42,240
And like I, I remember during, I
guess after this song debuted,

444
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,360
there was a lot of like the
sounded terrible and I don't

445
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,240
think it sounds terrible.
I don't.

446
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,800
OK, so a lot of what I
remembered about this 'cause I

447
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,640
actually like there were two
instances.

448
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,120
No, I watched these
back-to-back, so please forgive

449
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:02,080
my confusion.
Two instances where I was like I

450
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,440
don't remember this in the
context of the episode but I do

451
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,800
remember the fandom reactions to
the songs. 1 was pumping blood

452
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,560
which I think was previous
episode and then the other was

453
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,640
this and people thinking we were
gonna get some like amazing

454
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,920
romantic claim thing where they
were talking about their life

455
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,160
together.
Yeah.

456
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,720
And yeah, it it definitely just.
It's just a performance.

457
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,640
It's just a.
Performance.

458
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,280
Yeah, yeah, I and I remember
like, oh, their voices don't

459
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,120
sound as good together.
Like I sound fine.

460
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:40,600
Like, I don't know what you're
talking about, man.

461
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,120
Like the some of the lyrics
definitely coincide with what's

462
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:47,360
happening in their relationship.
Yeah.

463
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,600
So it's not.
It's not even for that purpose.

464
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,760
No, it's not.
And like, it's, it's like he

465
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,520
comes to Blaine like already
knowing he wants to do that

466
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,320
song.
Yeah, exactly.

467
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,160
Like he was like, I want and I'm
quite, I mean, I can't be

468
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,360
certain about anything with the
show, but it definitely feels

469
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:09,520
like, hey, this is like a song
in the Columbia catalog that

470
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,200
we're not gonna have to spend as
much money on.

471
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,200
And One Direction is popular, so
let's do it like.

472
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,240
No, I definitely think so.
It it doesn't feel that deep

473
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,680
now.
I enjoyed pumping blood, but it

474
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,200
it would have also been fun as a
class.

475
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,600
Yeah, yeah.
I think, OK, I 'cause I'm trying

476
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,640
to like, remember exactly like
what was going on, but I

477
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,280
remember people thinking or
maybe we like it got leaked like

478
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,200
Brazil or something that it was
at a gay bar.

479
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,640
I think that's what it was.
And everyone was like, oh, we're

480
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,400
gonna get some like sexy curtain
Blaine, like gay bar scene and

481
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,440
said, no, it's Rachel, it's
Rachel scene.

482
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,160
Yeah, it's, it's just her.
I mean, there's a couple.

483
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,360
Remember, there's a couple shots
of her of of it's the shot of

484
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,400
Blaine and then someone else
sitting on like a bench and

485
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,080
Kurt's like draped sexy over
them.

486
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:06,320
Yeah.
And you're like that.

487
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:07,440
That's it.
That's a great.

488
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,760
Yeah, it's mostly brain on it.
Yeah, enjoying it.

489
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,320
It's mostly just like Darren
dancing go go dancing by

490
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,720
himself.
Yeah, and Kurt with his like tie

491
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,680
wrapped, like tied around this
forehead.

492
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,240
Yeah.
But yeah, So after this Story of

493
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,680
My Life performance, June is
like, very obviously more into

494
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,240
Blaine than Kurt.
And she has this thing about

495
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,320
wanting to hone the rough
diamond.

496
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,200
And she invites Blaine to the
Soho Center for the Outsider Art

497
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,680
gala thing and not Kurt.
Not Kurt.

498
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,640
And he's a little perturbed, a
little, well, crestfallen,

499
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,240
shocked, surprised.
And Blaine.

500
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,560
Was like, well I definitely I, I
do think that I didn't hate the

501
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,440
way it was written or played
though 'cause like that felt

502
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,520
like that made sense to me.
Oh, totally made sense to me

503
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,240
too.
So much more.

504
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,560
Sense than like random like
pissed off Kurt when like Blaine

505
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,240
is making him breakfast.
Like, OK, well, there's there's

506
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,360
a reason for this.
Totally.

507
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,840
And like, so sorry to Kurt and
Chris Colfer, but but Blaine

508
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,880
slash Darren are just so much
more mainstream.

509
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:23,920
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah.

510
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,600
That's absolutely it.
I mean, Kurt and Chris's voices

511
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,080
even are like, you know, stand
out but not mainstream.

512
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,080
Yeah, and just, I guess, stage
presence, charisma, like if

513
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,160
you've got them on stage, who's
going to be the one to get the

514
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,760
most votes?
You know it's going to be

515
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,040
Darren.
I'm so sorry.

516
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,760
He also just has more practice
at it.

517
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,600
Yeah.
So they're getting ready.

518
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,600
Blaine is going to get is
getting ready to go to this

519
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,080
party.
And he's feeling quite guilty

520
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,160
that he got the invite.
And I think some of it, or maybe

521
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,120
we're reading into it, was like
him thinking about the past

522
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,360
couple months and how Kurt has
been acting and like, is this

523
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,760
going to be another tipping
point?

524
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,440
And I can't blame him.
And he doesn't want to be, like,

525
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,960
a June project if it's going to
take him away from Kurt.

526
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,680
And that, like, fear is not a
great place to be in a

527
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,240
relationship.
So it's a little scary for him.

528
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,320
But the scene does deliver one
of my favorite conversation

529
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,320
lines in Glee.
And it's Blaine asks, like, how

530
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,640
do I look?
And Kurt says, Mike Montgomery,

531
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,600
Clift and Blaine's like, what?
Before the accident.

532
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,640
Oh, thank you.
And you have to know who

533
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,720
Montgomery Clift is for this to
make any sense.

534
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,920
And it's such a niche.
Yeah, joke.

535
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,200
But it makes sense for them.
It does that.

536
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,800
Like.
I love it because Montgomery and

537
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,720
because Darren and Montgomery
Clift have didn't.

538
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,600
Learn with them.
Like, yeah, they.

539
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,080
Got a little like look to them.
They're not identical, but

540
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,280
they've got a little look,
right?

541
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,680
It's a little chin, a little
mouth, like it's there.

542
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,600
But he was like.
Known for being gorgeous.

543
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,000
Yeah.
Like classically handsome,

544
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,560
Hollywood gorgeous, Like Moody.
And then he got into a car

545
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,960
accident and it blew up his face
and he was never the same again.

546
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,680
Yeah.
And like to go from that?

547
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:43,400
Absolutely beautiful face to to
not is insane, but and to have

548
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,640
it to be like the butt of a
joke, it's like it's so Glee

549
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,760
that I love it.
And so yeah, it's very Glee.

550
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,760
It was very them.
It's very clean, like they it

551
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,200
makes sense for them, yeah.
Makes sense.

552
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,720
But he also says this, like,
very sweet thing of, you know,

553
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,760
whatever door June opens for
you, we're walking through

554
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,680
together.
And like, I kind of believed

555
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,000
him.
Yeah.

556
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,040
And, and I also felt like not to
put some RPF summer on it, but

557
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:20,360
like I kind of believed Chris in
these in a way that some of the

558
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,280
middle of the season episodes, I
was like, is Chris even like

559
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,160
participating in these scenes?
And I don't know if that's just

560
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,160
me or if you felt like that in
some of his scenes with Darren

561
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,520
where you're just like, are you
here?

562
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,640
Are you present in these
episodes are.

563
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,000
Definitely, definitely.
And I think that was probably

564
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,480
around the time there were
rumors that Chris just wasn't

565
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,880
coming back.
Yeah.

566
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:46,480
Oh, absolutely.
Like I I do also think probably

567
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,720
they got all the actors on board
for that final season and even

568
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,200
like this by by offering that
character bleaks, Chris gets to

569
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,640
like write an episode.
Yeah, that's the next episode.

570
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,720
I think he probably, for one
thing, they knew the end was

571
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,840
coming at this point, right?
Like they, they knew that the

572
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,320
light of the end of the tunnel
was starting to be visible and

573
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,240
that they were gonna like get to
do some things they wanted to

574
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,200
do.
When I say they, I mean Chris

575
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,960
and Darren both, well, I think
Darren sells it better even if

576
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,680
he's not interested.
I do think that he probably was

577
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,440
like really into the fact that
he was gonna get some of his

578
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:29,240
like original music on again and
and also just move on to do

579
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,080
other things soon.
Yeah, yeah.

580
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,600
It felt like there was a little
bit of a shift between like the

581
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,120
middle episodes and then like
this one where like, oh, I maybe

582
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,080
he's like on set again.
Like, Chris, are you in there?

583
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,560
It kind of feels like you're in
there again.

584
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,600
OK, cool, cool, cool.
It's not bad of the

585
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,480
disassociation.
Yeah, like was I feel like.

586
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,040
You were, I feel like you were
disassociating before and I feel

587
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,320
like maybe the whole the kitchen
scene where they're dancing

588
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,400
together is like, Chris, you
were not in there.

589
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,000
No, that, that was the most
vacant expression that I like.

590
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,360
I actually that's like the one
thing I wish I'd never

591
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,240
rewatched.
Yeah, I know.

592
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,160
'Cause I'm like, wow, that stood
out to me then I think.

593
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,560
But.
Really.

594
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,800
Left an impression now.
It really does.

595
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,239
And you're like this, you know?
Yeah, there was so little Clane

596
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,679
by these seasons.
And you're just like, oh,

597
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:18,639
they're going to be dancing
together in their in in their

598
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:21,639
pajamas in the kitchen.
You're watching it like Darren's

599
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:25,040
trying so hard and Chris looks
like he is thinking about his

600
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:30,120
taxes or he's just absolutely
like his brain is in Disneyland.

601
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,320
You're like, there's nothing.
There's nothing in my eyes.

602
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,199
Working on like the plot outline
for that next novel and.

603
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,760
Exactly.
Just like, I didn't need to see

604
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,239
this again.
This is terrible.

605
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,560
But in this scene, I was like,
oh, he's there.

606
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:44,400
Yeah, it was good it.
Was good.

607
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,239
It was there.
Maybe that's part of why I was

608
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,360
giving some credit to the writer
earlier, and I do think that

609
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,159
that is part of it.
But also, yeah, the the

610
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:55,480
performances are a little more
engaging.

611
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,480
Yeah, totally.
So we're at the party and and

612
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,920
June is talking about your
friends being everything.

613
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,760
And you are the company you
keep.

614
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,800
Cough, cough.
Celebrities pay attention to who

615
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,000
your friends are because the
fans know.

616
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,080
And that June needs to get to
know Blaine better, to know how

617
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,000
to serve him best.
And sometimes it feels like the

618
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,560
older you get watching these,
you're like, is this predatory?

619
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,880
It's a it's a little predatory.
It's like is this the the vibes

620
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,360
were a little.
Weird.

621
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,080
Yeah, there were just moments of
like, is this, is this

622
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,280
appropriate?
Nothing explicitly so.

623
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,920
No, although Kurt does call it
out later.

624
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,200
Like, would she be weird?
Like, no, no, no.

625
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,640
But there are just like, how is
'cause she says better to serve

626
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,240
you, like you?
No, don't do that.

627
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,520
But they are.
And this is where.

628
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,520
What's his name?
I had it before.

629
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,240
And now my brain is like, we're
done with that name.

630
00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:56,960
Eric Roberts shows up like, are
you a waiter?

631
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,480
Why are you here of all the
people?

632
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,400
Well, Ryan Murphy does like the
Roberts family.

633
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,600
So June, they're fundraising and
June gets up to demand more

634
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,760
money from the people.
And she's like, in return, I'm

635
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,200
going to give you a present.
And the present is Blaine.

636
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,120
And again, I was like, EW.
Yeah.

637
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,240
He's 19.
Stop it.

638
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,960
Actually, he's.
Probably taking the objectifying

639
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,480
to a new level too.
Exactly.

640
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,360
Literally, here is an object.
Here, here is a beautiful 18

641
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,400
year old boy like that.
OK, but this is where Blaine

642
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,000
stops being Blaine and he
becomes Darren and they sing,

643
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,680
both of them sing Peace of My
Heart, which, OK, I don't know

644
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,560
why this song.
Maybe it's because it was in

645
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,160
Shirley Maclaine's range.
I don't know.

646
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,880
I liked it.
I like Charlie McClain.

647
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,800
She's a little cuckoo, but you
know, she's a little cuckoo, but

648
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,320
I like her.
But yeah, it's not not blank.

649
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,480
It's not blank, this is fully.
Darren singing with Charlie

650
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,200
McClain.
There's a look in the very

651
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,120
beginning that Darren is giving
Shirley that you're kind of

652
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,240
like, son, calm down.
Like you do not get to fuck that

653
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:04,000
woman.
Stop it.

654
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,800
I.
Think it actually would have

655
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,800
made more sense if it had just
been Shirley McClain cast as

656
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,920
herself.
Kind of, yeah, yeah.

657
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,640
This whole scene is, I mean,
it's fine.

658
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,440
It's fun.
They do their little song.

659
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,120
And he is absolutely just Darren
on stage.

660
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,720
There's no blame.
All the aneurysms that we've all

661
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:23,800
seen at a Darren show, you're
like, Yep, there they are.

662
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,080
I was expecting him to forget
the lyrics.

663
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,640
Great.
You know, not my favorite, not

664
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:38,600
the best, but like, fine.
We do have more of of Mercedes

665
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,920
and Santana like in the the
studio telling the producer that

666
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,920
they want to perform a duet
together because obviously they

667
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,160
should just do River Deep
Mountain High for the record.

668
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,840
Oh yes.
I don't know why that doesn't

669
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,520
come up, honestly, But the
producer guy is like, that's not

670
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,920
going to sell as a single
because you're both unknowns.

671
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,360
And I was kind of like, he's got
a point and the producer, like,

672
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,240
we should get a big name for you
to collaborate with.

673
00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:08,160
And I was thinking how she's an
unknown.

674
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,720
Yeah.
Well, the same way, Rachel.

675
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:16,800
Got true the power of Glee and
I, it was actually really

676
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,120
interesting how quickly Santana
was like, listen, I'm going to

677
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,600
back away from this.
This is your chance to shine.

678
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:30,040
Like don't let me drag you down
because she is a real friend at

679
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:35,920
this point in the show.
Yeah, I mean, you know, God,

680
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,760
Santana has had the character
growth we all wish Rachel had.

681
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,880
She has, you know she still like
can be a bitch right?

682
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,240
When her hackles get up.
When she gets threatened and she

683
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,880
feels backed into a corner like
she is mean.

684
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,880
Realistically still the person
she was but has also come to

685
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,440
like understand the value of
friendships and who is worth

686
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,200
being a friend to, which is
nice.

687
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,880
It's great.
And then, you know, she people

688
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,080
can decide whether or not
they're going to stand up for

689
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:14,480
her or not.
And at the end, Mercedes does,

690
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,960
Yeah, but we'll come back to
that 'cause we have to with

691
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,440
their story ends with Santa
Hanna doing something.

692
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,960
So we have to come back to that
because Rachel does lie to

693
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,320
Sydney about being sick so she
can fly and the because of time

694
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,240
zones, none of this works I
think.

695
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,880
I was like hurting my brain
trying to think about the time

696
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,760
frames they were giving.
It doesn't fucking work.

697
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,920
Yeah.
Because she goes from New York

698
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:50,360
to LA now you can leave New York
in the morning and get to the

699
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,360
east, the West Coast in the
morning.

700
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,120
Yeah, because of the time zones.
Yeah, but.

701
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,440
You can't.
It doesn't work the other way

702
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,120
when.
He doesn't work the other way.

703
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,480
Yeah, there we know.
But she walks into this audition

704
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,600
room and immediately sings Bette
Midler's the Rose.

705
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,800
And like, it's so embarrassing.
Yeah.

706
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,760
And she knows she's auditioning
for ATV show.

707
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,680
I don't like why.
And, and they're like, great.

708
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,080
This is not a musical.
Which is absolutely a thing.

709
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,000
She would have known, except
apparently the assistant didn't

710
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,960
give her a script.
I don't understand that.

711
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,360
Either, and she didn't ask for
one.

712
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,840
Why wouldn't you ask?
She just went off the title Song

713
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,720
of Solomon.
Like, why didn't you ask for a

714
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,280
well, I mean, she's so
untrained.

715
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,440
She's so green.
What?

716
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:47,480
She's doing she.
Doesn't know what she's doing.

717
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,760
She didn't even think to ask for
a script because she's never

718
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,800
auditioned for anything besides
Fanny.

719
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,160
But it's like a sci-fi space
opera with a truly insane plot.

720
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,480
It really was.
I didn't even bother writing it

721
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,080
down, but I did write down that
it's Guardians of the Galaxy

722
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,400
meets Game of Thrones with a
strong Grey's Anatomy elements.

723
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:11,600
I was like, OK, I don't.
I'm not sure why not, but they

724
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,280
do.
Despite singing, they let her do

725
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,120
a chemistry read with the male
lead.

726
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,120
She struggles with the space
jargon, which is understandable

727
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,680
because it's the first time
she's ever seen these words.

728
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,320
And at one point Lee, the the
exec is like, I'm going to fire

729
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,840
the assistant.
And it it turns to the assistant

730
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,400
who's like what?
Like, well, you didn't send her

731
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,400
the script, you idiot.
Like, what the fuck?

732
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,960
She has like a kiss with the
lead and it's super awkward and

733
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,960
the and the audition early and
it's all terrible and the whole

734
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,520
thing is a bust and it's kind of
like, well, yeah, you.

735
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,120
We're.
Unprepared.

736
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,800
We're unprepared.
And like she has an agent now,

737
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,000
right?
The agent should have also been

738
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,760
like, did you get the script?
And should have been the one

739
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,440
communicating with the execs to
get her the script.

740
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,760
So the fact that none of that
happened is like what is

741
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,880
happening here.
But it's all to make it so that

742
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,800
this was all a big mistake.
Yeah.

743
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,400
And she has missed call, she has
caused a problem.

744
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,480
She has a bunch of missed calls
from Sydney because her

745
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,160
understudy.
Fell off the lip of the stage.

746
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,040
Fell off the lip of the.
Stage.

747
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,720
For some reason the flashback to
them telling her what happened

748
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:30,160
got me like that actually made
me laugh.

749
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,320
It was funny.
It was pretty funny.

750
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,440
And she now she is in Los
Angeles.

751
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:39,920
She now has to be in New York
that night at 7:30 and it's 10

752
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,040
AM.
Yeah.

753
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,520
It's not happening.
No.

754
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,120
I like, I don't know what to
tell you.

755
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:51,320
Like it, It's not happening.
And of course there's like a

756
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,960
traffic jam on the way back.
She calls Kurt to be like,

757
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,400
what's he fucking going to do?
Yeah, really.

758
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,960
What's he going to do?
Well, private jet.

759
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,720
I mean that would have been
maybe her best option at this

760
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:07,800
point because like 1.
How are you getting to LAX under

761
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,840
2 hours?
Yeah, even that though, like did

762
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,160
you make it from whatever
airport to the theater?

763
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,520
You could no.
Yeah.

764
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,600
So I was going to say, I feel
like, I feel like the

765
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,560
transportation from one place to
another within New York would

766
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:29,280
take like too long, even if she
got a private jet to get to new.

767
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,840
York, you could they have like
Uber helicopters.

768
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,760
You could.
No, but you could Uber

769
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,680
helicopter from, from JFK to
whatever the Uber helicopter's

770
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:47,240
landing pad is on in Manhattan
and then subway there.

771
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,280
I don't know.
It's not happening.

772
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,120
No.
You get on a city bike and you

773
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,640
you pedal really fast.
Well, she doesn't make it is the

774
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,920
thing.
And Kurt is the one who bursts

775
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:08,240
in on Mercedes and Santana at
the diner to who are talking

776
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:11,880
about the fact that Mercedes is
like, you are going to do this

777
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,320
duet with me because we were the
top bitches of that Glee club.

778
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,520
And Kurt must send like, hey, we
have a problem.

779
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,720
Rachel is stuck in Los Angeles
because she's stupid and we need

780
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:26,960
to figure out how to delay the
performance until Rachel gets

781
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,560
back.
And Santana is like, I have a

782
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,760
better idea and.
She was.

783
00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:37,600
I am going to go on as Fanny
Bryce one night only.

784
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:43,520
And I thought, no, you're not.
How would that OK My my first

785
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,520
thought was surely there's
paperwork?

786
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,760
Surely.
You paperwork are not hired by

787
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,840
the company.
You are not insured by the

788
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,320
company.
Yeah, what if you fell off the

789
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:59,800
lip of the stage and sued them
from it?

790
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:04,880
Exactly, exactly.
You, you were not hired.

791
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,400
You are not insured.
This is a union production,

792
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:15,080
probably it's on Broadway.
Like, no, absolute, you haven't

793
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,000
been rehearsing.
You don't know the tracks

794
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,720
anymore.
Like I don't.

795
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,800
I don't anyway.
And anyway, that's why the

796
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,720
Broadway company has swings.
Oh yeah, are those people that

797
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:28,240
just play any part?
Yes.

798
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,280
Yeah, yeah, OK.
The swing would have gone on And

799
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,200
another thing.
This is what I wanted.

800
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,080
I wanted the like Broadway
expertise.

801
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,680
It's.
So annoying cause like not to

802
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,120
shame like fick writers, but
like, or maybe it's the

803
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,320
opposite, like Fick writers do
so much work to talk about a

804
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,600
thing that they don't know.
Yeah.

805
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,400
Yeah.
Amount of effort that fick

806
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:58,080
writers put in to be like how
does a fire station work and

807
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,040
blog.
Writers are just like, this is

808
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,640
our industry and we're not going
to look up, We're not going to

809
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,040
like pick up the phone and just
ask someone like.

810
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,800
Fran Murphy knows Broadway
producers can't be fucked to

811
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,640
figure out why.
There are people in your cast

812
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:18,120
who have had Broadway and call
up Jenna or even Leah and be

813
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,840
like, hey.
Leah, does it sound reasonable?

814
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,560
No.
Does not.

815
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,160
It's very much not reasonable,
and it's not even.

816
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,160
And it doesn't go so far into
the absurd that it's funny.

817
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,200
Yeah, no, it's just annoying.
It's just annoying and it could

818
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,040
even be an Off Broadway show
where you give it a little.

819
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,640
Like a little.
Or leeway like but that's.

820
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,480
Still.
I know it's not like Broadway,

821
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,960
Off Broadway shows are LAX.
They're not.

822
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,600
It's all still tight run ship
like.

823
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:56,560
It's.
Not what's the the game changer,

824
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,600
not game changer, but the like,
well, actually.

825
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,360
Oh yeah.
He's watching these is just an

826
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,080
entire episode of well, actually
well.

827
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,680
Actually, Yep.
But yeah, so Santana goes on as

828
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,280
Fanny, I guess, without the wig
'cause she had her long hair.

829
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,640
Which?
Actually, that's the kind of

830
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:18,600
funny that's like, OK, well,
just Fanny Bryce with long ass

831
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,960
extensions.
Like, OK, Can you imagine that

832
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,640
you've paid $300 to go see a
show and then just some random

833
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,360
person is the lead?
Fucking hilarious.

834
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,320
Yeah.
Just like, I mean, you know, I'd

835
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,840
be pissed off, but like.
Who was this?

836
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,240
Am I in the right theatre?
What happened?

837
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,640
Yeah.
So they're back at the loft.

838
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,320
And Rachel thanks Santana for,
like, helping her out.

839
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,040
But she does have to go in for a
mandatory meeting with the

840
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,560
producers.
Yeah, I bet she does.

841
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,760
Yeah, yeah.
Seems like that.

842
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,440
That would be a given.
I bet you do.

843
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:51,880
You're in.
Trouble.

844
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,120
Fucking idiot.
But Rachel or Santana talks

845
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,040
about, you know, wanting to be a
better friend and protecting the

846
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,160
people that she cares about and
all that.

847
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,720
And like, well, yeah.
Because, you know, Santana in

848
00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:07,400
the end is like, she's not a
nice person, but she's a good

849
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,280
person.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's the

850
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,680
perfect way to describe her like
she is a good person.

851
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,960
She just may be like a bitch to
you if you deserve it.

852
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,200
No, and that's fine.
Yeah.

853
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,480
That's why we love her.
Yes.

854
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,360
And Rachel at least admits that
Santana was really good in the

855
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,240
role, because why wouldn't she
be?

856
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,760
Yeah.
Why wouldn't she be?

857
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,080
And then this whole, this whole
episode, like I, I forgot how

858
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:37,120
long this whole arc of like for
one thing, the June storyline

859
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,840
and also Rachel's TV show
Broadway thing.

860
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,920
I I forgot this was like
literally a multi episode thing.

861
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,040
Yeah, yeah.
So we we get a little like clean

862
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,440
alone time and Kurt's like, I am
mad at you because you haven't

863
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,560
filled me in on any of these
rich people gossip.

864
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,880
And frankly, I'm with him.
Yeah.

865
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,400
Let's get some gossip.
New York City gossip.

866
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,800
Yeah, I mean, if she's a
socialite, surely like you would

867
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,720
just assume you're gonna get
some juicy stuff.

868
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,800
Like a little montage of her
pointing out like that's so and

869
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,240
so and they sold fake art to an
Amir.

870
00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:15,360
Like that would have been kind
of fun of just like pointing out

871
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,400
all the assholes who run the
city kind of cool.

872
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,800
And my other point at the scene
was like, how come Blaine has no

873
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,440
comfortable clothes?
Yeah.

874
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,320
They're like getting ready for a
movie night with popcorn and he

875
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,400
is just wearing his outdoor
clothes and he's.

876
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,480
Not dressed down, he.
Does not, and I hate that for

877
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:35,840
him.
That seems like such an awful

878
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,600
way to live.
I wonder if Kurt's like no no,

879
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,200
no you are not getting
comfortable.

880
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:42,960
No.
We we can take the clothes off

881
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,600
to fuck and then you're putting
them back on.

882
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,720
Right back on.
Bow tie stays on.

883
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,760
Poor man.
That's why they divorce in the

884
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,040
end.
It's just like I long for

885
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,880
sweatpants.
Yeah, the divorce proceedings

886
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,280
are like, what was the 'cause I
couldn't wear pants?

887
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,960
He leaves he leaves Kurt for Sam
in the end even though Sam they

888
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,720
they don't have sex but Sam
accepts in sweatpants.

889
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,440
He accepts him in sweatpants and
shirts that has holes in the

890
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,160
hem.
All I ever wanted was to be

891
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,400
comfortable.
But yeah.

892
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,440
So Blaine.
Blaine finally has to tell Kurt

893
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:25,040
that what is happening with June
is that she has offered to put A

894
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:31,960
to create like a, a showcase for
him, just him, just just plain.

895
00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:36,600
They had like a lunch together.
And because she's so like

896
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:42,000
dazzled by him for some reason
and and wants to let the world

897
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:46,760
see him and show him off.
And at the time, Blaine or

898
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,800
Blaine was like, OK, cool.
But like Kurt needs to be in the

899
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,040
show too.
And June was like, no, I don't

900
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,600
think the world needs to see
that.

901
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:59,280
I was like, damn, she's.
She's so fucking cold.

902
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:00,560
She is so.
Cold.

903
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,600
And then she told him, like, you
need to break off that

904
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,120
engagement.
Yeah, I, I really, the more I

905
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,440
think about it, the more I am
like that that woman wanted him

906
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:16,200
in a pure manner.
I like, I think maybe she and

907
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,160
immediately Blaine was like, I
actually, I think he says it the

908
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,440
most in this episode.
He's like, I love Kurt in the

909
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,600
way that Darren Asblain says
these things.

910
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,320
I love him.
And she's like, well, of course

911
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,720
you do.
I love Richard Burton and Howard

912
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:32,680
Hughes.
It's like, that's actually

913
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,040
pretty funny.
Yeah.

914
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,320
That's what we humans do.
We fall in and out of love.

915
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,720
She's just like, fuck that guy.
It's like my God too.

916
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,400
Yeah, that is not a deal breaker
for her.

917
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,920
She's like, we can get past
that.

918
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,720
I'll put on a mask, whatever it
takes.

919
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,800
Yeah, I'm.
I'm severely worried about her

920
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,360
intentions.
So he needs to decide is he

921
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,840
gonna settle or like, venture
out and realize his full

922
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,320
potential?
Which I guess means being her

923
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:08,600
like dancing pony.
Her little show pony.

924
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,600
Little Blaine show pony.
So now he's been like holding

925
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,120
this back from Kurt.
And now that they're alone, he's

926
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,640
like, I'm, she wants me to do
this one night showcase.

927
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,040
And he's like, excited for
Blaine.

928
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:26,800
But then Blaine lies to him.
And it's like, you have a part

929
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,280
in it, too.
I was like Blaine.

930
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,680
I mean, it's funny, 'cause Kurt,
he really didn't even react

931
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,680
badly, didn't he?
Didn't You?

932
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,240
Didn't need to do that.
No, he really didn't.

933
00:52:39,240 --> 00:52:43,920
He wasn't like, oh, that sucks.
I'm like, he was like, it's

934
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:48,640
fine.
Yeah, Yeah, I like it.

935
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,080
That one was annoying for me.
It's like you just set up a

936
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:53,600
problem that you didn't need to
set up.

937
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,480
My note here was just like, this
is terrible.

938
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,720
Yeah, Like, I hate it.
But yeah, I guess we're.

939
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:06,920
I guess the plot lines are
combining over lies like Rachel

940
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:12,120
lying to Sydney and now Kurt
lying to Blaine about potential.

941
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,360
Yeah, I don't.
They they really didn't try to

942
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,800
leave them together in any way
in this that really.

943
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,120
I mean, you know, like what you
wanna do with your life.

944
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,200
Like, you guys are 19.
You don't know anything.

945
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:27,360
Yeah.
But yeah, like these kerb lane

946
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,480
scenes or, you know, they just
keep pushing them together,

947
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,080
pulling them apart.
And you're like, just let them

948
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,680
be happy.
Can't you just let them be

949
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,800
happy?
So we have to we end with Rachel

950
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,400
going to her her producer
meeting with Sydney.

951
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,360
And he is pissed, and he should
be.

952
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,680
Yeah, no, this was very
satisfying.

953
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,760
Like read on her.
He gave her, Yeah, it really

954
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,800
was.
He is not gonna fire her, and

955
00:53:53,800 --> 00:54:00,080
it's not like he tried.
He went, he got praising is like

956
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,040
you're an ambitious,
irresponsible child and like,

957
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,040
yeah, yeah, you are well, her.
Yeah, he tried.

958
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,720
He, the other producers and the
financiers, like wouldn't let

959
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:12,600
him Like, well, I guess I get
that.

960
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,600
But he's like, if you do it
again, you will be sued for

961
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,320
breach of contract.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, you

962
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,840
signed the contract.
They got a detail correct Like

963
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,200
yes, that's right.
And I was like, and you would

964
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,720
deserve it.
Seriously.

965
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:32,200
Yeah, like it.
I it's not unfathomable, but it

966
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:37,080
is like how it's so aggravating
and she doesn't even like take

967
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:38,760
the message.
She's just crying.

968
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,920
It's like she doesn't take
responsibility for it at all.

969
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,640
Yeah.
Because Lee Paul Black calls her

970
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,440
as she's leaving this meeting
and is like, well, obviously you

971
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,080
didn't get the part, but we do
want to give you a development

972
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,760
deal to create a show around
you.

973
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,080
And she's like, great, like, oh,
do not.

974
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,760
Yeah, no, she's learned nothing
like.

975
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,920
You I because she had earlier
when she walked out of the

976
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,360
audition, the really shit
audition, she was talking to

977
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,520
Sydney.
Like, I just wanted to say I'm

978
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:12,840
so sorry about how I talked to
you.

979
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,160
And I just wanted to reiterate
how excited I am to be Fanny.

980
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,840
And I really want to talk about
how thankful I am for this part

981
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,120
and blah, blah, blah.
And as soon as he lays into her

982
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,600
about being irresponsible she's
like fuck you.

983
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,920
Yeah.
Like this is.

984
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:37,240
Yeah, I was angry.
No, this entire episode is just

985
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:40,080
non-stop rage at Rachel.
Yeah, yeah.

986
00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:44,040
And yeah, and it's not gonna get
any better.

987
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,160
It's not and it, I don't know,
like why is she not on list of

988
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,760
the worst characters?
She should be.

989
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,960
I'm not saying that I mean Will
Shuster is.

990
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,480
Well, it's just there is and
you're like, he's fine in

991
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,400
comparison.
Yeah, exactly.

992
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:03,960
Like, yeah, the shitty things he
did are easy headlines, I guess,

993
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,120
like plant drugs in a teenager's
locker.

994
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,720
Yeah.
But like, Rachel's just bad.

995
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:13,520
Consistently bad.
Yeah, just bad.

996
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:20,000
Like the decisions made, the
lack of responsibility, Yeah,

997
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,160
especially in this final season.
Just like you got everything and

998
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:28,920
you're being like this about it.
And I mean, just like the lack

999
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,720
of concern for other people.
I mean, she goes from like being

1000
00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:35,440
willing to send the competition
to like a crack house because

1001
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,360
she doesn't care what happens to
the person to not caring what

1002
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,800
happens to hundreds of people
whose jobs depend on her.

1003
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:46,400
Yeah, yeah, like K and her
response to like being called

1004
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:51,720
out on it is to take the next
job offer like.

1005
00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:54,440
Run away from the situation.
Yeah, just run away and like

1006
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,240
they got mad at me, so I'm going
to go do it again.

1007
00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:58,160
Like I mean.
Yeah, she does it with school

1008
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:02,000
and then she does it with.
The job, Yeah, when they gave

1009
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,560
her a second chance.
Yeah.

1010
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:07,720
And it's like, OK, we're you're
going to stay and potentially

1011
00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:09,960
get a Tony nomination.
Imagine what you can parlay that

1012
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:14,200
into God she's.
So impatient, yeah.

1013
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,680
What did we learn from Hamilton?
You gotta wait for it.

1014
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,360
Yeah, and you will be a
billionaire.

1015
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,200
Hamilton doesn't hesitate.
He exhibits no restraint.

1016
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:25,560
He takes and he takes and he
takes.

1017
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,360
But you have to wait for it.
She learned nothing.

1018
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,480
She learned nothing.
What's the you you get?

1019
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:38,320
No, What is the line?
I can't even think of it from

1020
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,800
Oh, I know you're.
I know you.

1021
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,360
Get nothing.
Yeah.

1022
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,000
From Willy Wonka.
I'll think of it.

1023
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,000
It's at the very end where he's
like, get the fuck out of my

1024
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,920
house.
Yeah, yeah.

1025
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,920
These episodes are just
aggravating because like, other

1026
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,120
things are happening right with
like, Blaine and Kurt and I, and

1027
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,720
I think we talked about it in
the previous episode without you

1028
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,200
about.
There's something so annoying

1029
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,160
knowing what's coming with the
Kurt and Blaine.

1030
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,600
Yeah.
Where you're like, like, oh, you

1031
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,400
know, they've had their issues,
but they're still engaged and

1032
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,200
you know, it's all gonna be
fine, but in the back of your

1033
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,040
mind, you're like, it's not.
Yeah.

1034
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,880
I know what's coming.
Yeah, no, it definitely like

1035
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,840
tempers, all of the nice clean
moments.

1036
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:31,480
It does and I wonder I I would
love to know how other people

1037
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:37,240
experience rewatching.
Yeah, you mean less bitter,

1038
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,160
enraged people?
Yeah.

1039
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,320
OK, I don't know any of those,
but.

1040
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,680
I don't know those people.
Yeah, couldn't be me.

1041
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:48,960
No, it's not me.
And like so like as a as AI

1042
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,720
mean, I guess time hasn't
happened yet.

1043
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,920
Well, so like I I have I'm
currently re watching 911 yet

1044
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,640
again.
Right, OK.

1045
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,360
And I'm on season 2.
Like basically I get to the end

1046
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,320
of season 8 and I just start it
all over again.

1047
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,400
And but I don't watch it.
Like, I watch an episode here

1048
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,160
and I go do something, I watch
another episode and it's just

1049
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,720
kind of like when I have time
I'll put an episode on 'cause I

1050
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,040
watch new stuff too.
Yeah.

1051
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:19,560
Full times new stuff sucks
though so and also I don't

1052
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,160
sometimes I don't like watching
new stuff until I know there's a

1053
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,640
couple seasons under my belt.
I'm like what?

1054
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,840
Only that way.
Like well Netflix is just gonna

1055
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,360
fucking cancel it so why would I
watch it?

1056
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,320
Well especially I mean even when
I don't cancel it, it's like 3

1057
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,040
years before a new season comes.
Out exactly like like I'm gonna

1058
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,880
forget what happened like I only
now I'm watching the second

1059
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,920
season of The Last of Us.
Oh yeah, right.

1060
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,840
So.
Yeah.

1061
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,040
Like especially because I knew
what was going to happen in it

1062
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,520
anyway.
Just culturally, it's like,

1063
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,200
well, why do I want to fucking
watch this shit?

1064
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,920
I haven't watched it for that
exact reason that I knew what

1065
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,120
was going to happen, so I was.
Like I was like I don't care

1066
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,920
about the game in the 1st place
I'm just watching it from dad.

1067
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:02,200
Like anyway not the point.
So I'm re watching 911 yet again

1068
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,680
and I'm not yet at the fandom
point where there's like taint.

1069
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,080
But I'm curious as to when the
phantom rot.

1070
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:17,920
Will affect the.
Rewatch on the show and I yeah,

1071
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,920
'cause so far, like I love
rewatching season 1 because it's

1072
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,600
so different from the other
seasons.

1073
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:28,680
It has that like pilot Sheen to
it.

1074
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,920
Like when you I don't know if
you've ever seen House.

1075
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,840
So like the first, the pilot
episode of House is fucking

1076
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,480
bananas.
The the tint on the show, it's

1077
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,760
like, what color is this?
Like literally yeah.

1078
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:46,120
Like everyone's yellow like, and
blue like what is happening?

1079
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:48,280
It's a completely different
show.

1080
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,560
And they're all jaundiced.
They're all like, what's the

1081
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,680
disease?
I think you all have jaundice.

1082
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,160
It's a completely different show
than the second episode.

1083
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:01,200
It's wild.
And that's kind of like the

1084
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:06,920
whole of season 1 of 911 is like
it's kind of gritty and kind of

1085
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,200
like everyone has sex.
There's a lot more drug.

1086
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,880
There's like suicidal ideation
of the wazoo.

1087
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,520
It's it's like, why can't the
whole show be like this?

1088
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:23,920
It's great.
But but Glee so so re watching

1089
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:28,880
the other seasons, they're not
yet tainted by like hating the

1090
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,760
end.
So I'm wondering when that will

1091
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,160
hit the way Glee does where
you're like.

1092
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:38,000
And I again, the tagline of this
podcast was originally like, we

1093
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:43,240
haven't watched season 6 either.
Yeah, So I still haven't seen

1094
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,920
those episodes other than like
the wedding.

1095
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:50,680
Yeah, I've seen scenes.
I've seen like clips.

1096
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,840
I've seen scenes.
But I couldn't tell you what

1097
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:57,360
happens like the major beats
with any other character besides

1098
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,120
Curt of Lane.
Yeah, exactly.

1099
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,080
Yeah, I've seen the elevator
scene.

1100
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:03,680
Yeah.
Seen that many times.

1101
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,560
Yeah, kind of wore that one out,
I think a little bit, yeah.

1102
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,040
That carried me through.
Yeah.

1103
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:15,480
I needed it.
So I like, do other people have

1104
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,280
that?
Is what's like the opposite of

1105
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:19,640
nostalgia for Glee?
Yeah.

1106
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:22,960
I don't know, but I know the
vibe.

1107
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,080
Who?
What culture writer has come up

1108
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:31,200
with the opposite of nostalgia?
It's not doom and it's not

1109
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:36,840
regret.
Is it like longing?

1110
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:41,840
Is it like some disappointment?
I don't know what it is.

1111
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,880
If we coin it, that'll be good
for us.

1112
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,400
I don't know what it is, though.
Yeah.

1113
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,520
Yeah, really.
We need, we need to coin that.

1114
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,480
Cut this out.
Yeah, we're gonna have

1115
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,480
brainstorm session.
Yeah, it's yeah, I know I gotta

1116
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,680
figure that out.
But like, that's the feeling of

1117
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,960
rewatching this show is you're
like, God damn it.

1118
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,400
It's.
It's, it's like impending dread,

1119
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,680
but yeah, yeah.
But there's gotta be.

1120
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,840
Better word, yeah.
Yeah, there probably.

1121
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:17,760
Is anyway, so yeah, that's this
episode.

1122
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,840
Rachel's in the doghouse.
Oh, dog.

1123
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:21,520
New tricks.
Get it?

1124
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,560
Doghouse.
That's leading up to the next

1125
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:29,040
episode, yes, Which honestly I
don't remember if it has

1126
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:30,280
anything to do with this
episode.

1127
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,640
I don't I, I remember not hating
it, so I'm kind of excited.

1128
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:39,120
OK, I remember Chris getting to
fly around.

1129
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,120
On you're pan you're.
Panning himself.

1130
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:43,680
Yeah, that's frankly all I
remember.

1131
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,200
I was just like, oh great.
Yep.

1132
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,920
And isn't there another?
There's more guest stars in this

1133
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:54,440
episode, right?
June Squibb.

1134
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,040
Yes, yeah, I was gonna say old
people, but I I like the old

1135
01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,400
people.
Yeah, old people.

1136
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:01,320
Yeah, Kristen has old.
People.

1137
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,320
Yeah, and dogs.
And dogs.

1138
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:05,720
That's right.
He really wrote this for

1139
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:09,360
himself.
OK, well do you have a favorite

1140
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,240
song?
Story of my life probably I mean

1141
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,960
while I have issues with like
the the performance as we said

1142
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:16,680
it was still.
My.

1143
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:25,640
Favorite song from the episode
The Story of My Life I Take.

1144
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:31,640
Her home I drive all night to
keep her warm in time.

1145
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,680
It's frozen.
The story.

1146
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,560
The.
Story of my life.

1147
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:45,720
I give her home.
I spend her life until she's

1148
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:51,280
broken inside the story of my
life.

1149
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:53,960
Same.
Yeah, I like it.

1150
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,720
I I would read.
Listen, do you have a favorite

1151
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,240
line?
My favorite line is Sydney

1152
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,160
Greens.
Just like I will sue you back

1153
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,360
into the Stone Age that you're
an ambitious, irresponsible

1154
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,680
child.
And what can we do?

1155
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:09,440
You're a star.
We need you.

1156
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,920
I've seen this all the time.
And let me tell you something,

1157
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,200
Miss Berry, you aren't some
Broadway legend.

1158
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:20,320
If you ever pull something like
this again, I will not only fire

1159
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:25,000
you, I will sue you back to the
Stone Age for breach of contract

1160
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,760
and you'll never be able to work
on Broadway again just just

1161
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,680
'cause it made me happy.
Yeah, I that your.

1162
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,040
Your reputation will not exist
to get the hell out of my

1163
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:35,720
office.
Yeah, that.

1164
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,400
Was pretty good.
It was well deserved.

1165
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,560
Yes, mine's got to be the
Montgomery Cliff thing.

1166
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,560
That was a good. 1 today.
Yeah, just so like an

1167
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,120
unexpected.
Yeah.

1168
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,200
And maybe just Darren's delivery
of I love Kurt like.

1169
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,640
Yeah.
Got you, man.

1170
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:53,920
I think he got to say it so many
times that he was like writing

1171
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,520
down a list of like which
inflections he'd do for each

1172
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,000
one.
Yeah, I think so.

1173
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,960
There was a lot of I love you,
like you, buddy.

1174
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,240
I I feel OK.
Are you doing OK, man?

1175
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,240
You, you OK?
You OK buddy?

1176
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:07,840
He's working through some
things.

1177
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:14,880
Just a little bit, just a little
bit what I guess what's that

1178
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:19,920
thing you like in this episode?
I actually did like the guest

1179
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,880
actors.
They were so random, they liked

1180
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,320
it.
Yeah, I don't understand why,

1181
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,440
like you said, all of them at
once, but like I I did enjoy

1182
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,200
that.
Was there a convention where

1183
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,840
they just in town?
It was so funny.

1184
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,320
I like Charlie McClain.
I like Jim Rash.

1185
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:41,120
I like you know what's his name?
That Eric Roberts was the one

1186
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,520
that I can't stop thinking about
'cause there's like, he's just

1187
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,080
like a waiter or something in
the back.

1188
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,520
It's like one line.
You're like, why are you here,

1189
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,960
Richard?
Yeah, so random.

1190
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,840
I guess we'll end on a very
grumpy meow.

1191
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,200
Yeah.
A final thought of the episode.

1192
01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:01,640
I like it.
OK.

1193
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:06,920
Well then that is all for the
backup plan, which did not work

1194
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,160
out for Rachel.
No, she needs a backup.

1195
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:09,680
Backup plan.
She.

1196
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:11,760
Needs a double battle.
I guess her backup.

1197
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,800
Backup is her development deal.
Yeah, for a 19 year old.

1198
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,760
Whatever, whatever.
OK and you can find us at

1199
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,160
Phantom of the Rocks.
We have a lot of bonus content

1200
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,080
we are going to get.
Well, I'm not going to say that.

1201
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:26,160
I'm also going to say something
because.

1202
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,200
But it's not going to be timely
because this will come out after

1203
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,360
whatever we're going to make
Mandy talk about 911 with us is

1204
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,520
what's going to happen.
Oh yes, I'm ready.

1205
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:38,520
And yeah, we will catch you on
the next episode.

1206
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:42,520
We are so close to the end of
Season 5, which means Season 6,

1207
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,240
which means things we've never
seen before.

1208
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,800
Yep.
So it'll be new and exciting.

1209
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,800
I I'm like kind of excited, even
though I know enough to know I'm

1210
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:51,400
gonna.
Hate it.

1211
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,160
I'm scared.
Yeah, terrified.

1212
01:07:56,080 --> 01:08:00,480
So I guess that is what you
missed on June.
