Jag a little Tapestry EP was released. It featured five
tracks from the episode and was released for digital download only.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And on January seventeen, members of the cast attended the
twenty fifteen Fox Winter All Star Party.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It was all the newbies, so this.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Was the hell we were going to show up. They
didn't even ask, and.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
They knew the newbies. What that's the thing. They're like,
you guys have to go to this thing. And they're like, okay,
all right. So this is Alanis and Carol King.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I know we had said, like, ah, Carol King tribute,
but it's actually a dual tribute.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, it's a mashup.

Paul mccrane was the director of this episode.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
He's back, Okay, We've got.

Another Tinta song that got cut short.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I kind of am too.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'm over especially with that because it was so good.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I listened to the whole version of this one because
Andrew told us that it was a bob yeah, and
I listened to it. I was like, number one, I
don't remember recording this. Number two I soundedly cuds yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't say that ever. I don't know ever.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I was like, Wow, she suits her. This is a
good this suits her. This song.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's funny when it's like an emotional thing and you're
crying and like they cut you off and I go,
there goes Tina again. But you guys sound so good
on this. It's such a good cover and there's like
nothing going on, and you still don't get to finish it,
and like the bit's done, the bit's dead.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It wasn't even my bit this time though.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It wasn't even exactly because of Lauren Oh and Becky, sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You're catching strays, Like this wasn't even about you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I am catching.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I was pissed, I literally because I forgot this one.
I know we talked about it with Andrew that you
don't even finish it, but I out loud, I go,
oh no, because like what are we doing? No really
long numbers in this, like the Santana and Brittany number.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It is so long.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I could have watched them perform all day. However, that
didn't feel like it's TV at it.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, And we've got You Learn, You've Got a Friend,
the alum and the new new directions essentially, So this
is the third episode to be a tribute to an album,
the first being Rumors Second Meeting Saturday Night Leaver.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
This episode, however, is a tribute to two albums. So
that's the first.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Okay, So Teena is Alvin drinkhand in my Pocket, Feel
the Earth Move is the one she wore for the
season six photo shoot.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh, there's a lot of that in this episode. M
h Brattany's outfit during You Learn sa She've Got a Friend.
It's the one she wore for her season six photo shoot.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
As we said, yes, and this marks the last appearance.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Oh no, this marks the last appearance of Roz Washington
on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And it's a good one, to be.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Fair, it's a really good one. I was so happy
to be there for it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Can we just talk about it while we're here, because
it felt like, you know, she naturally said down syndrume
how she says down syndrome and that, and then Jane
clocked it and then the whole scene turned into a
thing between how she pronounced down syndrome.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's so I was like, I it brought me back
to the scene, like I was like, I was watching
and I was like, oh my god, I forgot about this.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Sitting on that couch trying to hold it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Together while she gave that speech, her saying it the
way she said it, I was like, I am not.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well, right, shout out to We had a guest star
this week was Justin Prentiss, who was on thirteen Reasons
Why and he's in this episode a lot. And he
had to be in there with those powerhouses and had
to stand up and then also say down syndrome. And
I continue on with to see it. I was like,
do you know what, Yeah, you know what? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
He was sweet. All right, give me the give me the.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Little summary. Rachel and Kurt struggle as they try to
rebuild and co direct the glee club at McKinley. Meanwhile,
Sue is concerned when Becky brings her new boyfriend to town.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Okay, Becky loved the storyline.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, really, this is a good, juicy, meaningful and funny storyline.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I loved it. I loved being part of it. I
loved watching it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I thought, Lauren, kudos, Lauren Potter, it was all real good.
That was definitely my favorite storyline of the episode. And
also just In Prentice so sweet, adorable and really funny.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Did you watch Thirteen Reasons? Why? Yes, it was start
because he plays not a great person in that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Show, right and nice nice.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yes, it was really hard for me to watch him
in this episode. I know, I know, I know, and
he's so sweet and so I kept waiting for there
to be the shoe to drop because of how he
was on thirteen.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Well, he does play really good villains in that way,
right or like and then you're like.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Oh, well, where it is? Where is it?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, we're doing well today. Neither of us are making sense.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You know what if people are still listening to us
after this many episodes, they know they know.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Kevin and I have both have half a brain, and
so we make one full brain.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I think we make one half a brain. Actually I
don't know how that math works, but.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, we're a quarter man. We work in quarters, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Kurt sees Kowsky and Blaine in the record shop cross.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He's real handsy. Why does he like does he have
to have his hands all over brain every single scene.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Because it feels conniving.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It is conniving yet and yet maybe his love language
is touch, you know, like it's just who he is.
We just don't We're not used to seeing Krofsky in
this light. We're not used to seeing asking a romantic relationship.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
He's happy, but out of respect for his boyfriend's ex,
who you also bullied, don't you help you? And like
the whole respect. Yeah, yeah, like you do that at home.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I know. And poor Kurt well Kirk.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Says that he has a a dream sequence.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Of like watching himself before, which I loved. I loved
that he said that.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I really enjoyed that dream sequence.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Love it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I was also startled how quickly a song happened in
this episode. There was literally like two lines and then
we're into a song.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
These songs are long, except for Tina's song. These songs
are long.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
As they should be because they're incredible songs.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, I know, I'm like, give me the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
That dream sequence it looks like aged.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Backwards, I mean likes age backwards.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It was so strange. I really liked how it was.
I just I really liked it.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I really enjoyed it as well.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hurt and Rachel are now like kind of in the
throes of like starting this glee club up again. They're
recruiting members, try and make a lot of plan they're
having trouble.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
This scene has written so well. I really like their
back and forth.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, I like this whole like like kind of one
upping each other the whole episode.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It's very funny, it is. And they're both great physical
comedic actors. Yes, yeah, And so there's so much going
on between them and every scene and they're really hidden it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And it's just so character driven, like the both of them.
This makes total sense for like I'm I'm in you know, Rachel.
Kurt is saying he thinks that it should be a
breakup album, and it should be Tapestry obviously, and it's
going to be Carol King and Rachel's like, well, if
we're going to do a breakup album, it should.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Be Jaggue Little Pill, both of which I agree with.
I agree.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
They are both excellent, excellent albums, if not some of
the best albums out there.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Kurt says, let's do a mashup.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I will say throughout the episode, I love both albums separately.
I'm not the biggest fan of these together.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I had Adamanda's voice in my head whilst watching this.
Yeah yeah, yeah, like you know, sometimes they just don't work.
Yeah yeah. I I liked when people had like just
the solo songs.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Agreed, agreed, agreed.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Two rights don't make another, right, right, that's the same, right.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Well, so Kurt and Rachel in there, I'm actually giving
the lesson plan to the new directions and asking the
alum to come back.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
They're having trouble. It's just so weird, the two of them.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
All the alumnis sitting.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
There there, like, how are you doing this? Right?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I love how like self aware this episode was, you know,
like Kurt saying like dreams twins or whatever he dreamed
about watching them sing a song and like us being
like here we are and Brittany's bending space and time.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I don't know. It was sad. I was said that
I was there for another episode, that you were not
there for what back? Do you know why you weren't there?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't know. I honestly, I think I so for
this season, like we were only signed up for certain
I was regular for a certain amount of episodes. Oh
and so I think they were.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Just actually waiting to hold the.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
End because I did. They didn't need me in this episode.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
No totally, which I like rightful to, like, yeah, not
be sitting there the old Yeah. Britt In Santana, Kurt
and Rachel are having a hard time love that love
this dynamic for them. They can't figure out all song
di stinc together. So Brittany and Santana of Cour's offer
that they'll go first, they do Hand in my Pocket.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I feel the Earth Move again, I will say. I
was like.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, this is an interesting song choice, and then earth
Move came in and I was like, just we should
have just done this.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I feel the Earth Move. Oh God, watch them.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
All day long.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Do this.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Heather sounds great.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
She does really good.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
There's something about it. I don't know what it is.
I don't know. Maybe it's the key it's in like
she sounds like better than ever.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
No, I know it's really good. I love this and
I love Earth Move obviously. Like I feel the Eric
Move was like, you.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Know what's weird about this mashup? For me was the
tempo of Hand in my Pocket was like bumped up
for I Feel the Earth movie.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I think that's why I didn't like it as much,
because I'm like a Lenis, like leave it as it is,
like it's perfect, that is not Alanis's tempo.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
The structuring of it and everything was really good and
the performance was incredible and they sounded so good together. Yeah,
but it was a strange mashup, you.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Know, like while I'm grateful that we were doing a
jagged and a tapestry episode, I wish they could have
been separate because it could have really been We could
have leaned into both of them a little bit more,
I think, but grateful for it, yes, So.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's also it reminded me of you know, Carol King
has so many big songs covered by other people, and
that hearing different people do Carol King songs in this
episode just reminded me like, like like I said with
Dolly Parton and I Will Always Love You, these songs
(13:58):
are written so incredibly well yea, that they can be
taken to other genres with different styles of singers and
still sound incredible or even better. And like it's those
artist songs like this song could have been Naya's.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Song totally totally like and it just.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Felt fresh and new, and it's it's like so far away.
That felt like if you and Diana were in a
girl group or something, are you gonna do it? Like
it sounded like that could have been your record, right right,
right right, Well the songs version, these songs are just good.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Well, we'll be on from the music for a second
because we're going to sorry, no, no, no, moving back
to it. I forgot that this was a proposal. We
were just there for a proposal and it was kind
of blackluster. I'm not gonna lie right, super excited for it,
but like these are kids who don't know them at
(14:55):
all in a place where like like mister Tree's not there,
nobody's there, like and we're literally handclapping for that matter,
hand clapping.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I was like, this is so weird. I was so sad.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I was like, and I don't remember if I think,
like while we were shooting it also like.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
We were like, okay, we're just this is a proposal,
but more importantly, we're so happy Britannas together and that
they're engaged.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Uh, Kurt is this one makes sense?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Feeling better.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Kurt is feeling better because obviously of his breakup and
so he's like, we're too young and we're not ready
and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And you know what, Tina came through.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
She really did coming through.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Uh. She says some stupid this season, but like, you
know what she came.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Through, And uh, I just think the whole thing felt
a little lackluster.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You know what I wish honestly, like their proposal, I
wish you just stayed with them, yea once it gets
broken up by and I get it the new kids
being like, wait, is this right? Because that's what it
feels like and it shouldn't feel like that, Like how
to just stayed on them in like an intimate moment
and it didn't even matter about how all of you reacted.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
They're just in a good place, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah. And then Kurt still could have had his you know,
like lash out, but like the break and the momentum of.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
The y yeah yeah, because like I'd be curious how
the the Britannic shippers felt like about it, like to
care just because it's what it, you know what I mean,
Like they're they're together or is it like give them more?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You know, give me more?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
So Kurt lashes out and then that leads to god,
we have to maybe the most infamous monologue in Glee
her history. So our podcast before this podcast called show Manz,
we had Heather and Nya on, and Nya said that
(17:16):
she we asked them about sort of their most uncomfortable
things they did on the show, or something like, oh so,
so I'm butchering this now, what was it.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Their least one of the least favorite or unhinged things
that they had to shoot or say on the show.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And Nya had said this model.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And I think because if I am correct, and obviously.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
We could go back and listen to that episode, but
like it's because.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Santana has come like a really long way right in general,
and I feel like she this is not who she
is anymore or what she's doing. But she was wronged
by Kurt, so obviously this is the fuel that set
her off. But she said Nya said that this really
told the line of being like let's be comedic and
(18:13):
and let's kind of like play with the insults versus
like just being like flat out mean.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You know, it felt like when you see, like you
watch somebody do a roast or like a bad best
man speech. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's like, oh no,
this isn't funny, this is just mean. Yeah, it felt
a little too like personal, and I think Nya alluded
to that too, where like she felt uncomfortable doing it,
Chris felt uncomfortable doing it because it it didn't feel
(18:44):
like in character for either of them, where it felt
like a real attack in some ways.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Right, It's kind of like it reminds me of right now,
what happened with the Amy Lou Wood and SNL when
they did a parody on White Lotus and uh, they
they kind of like created this caricature for her on
the show on US So now, and she came out
and said it was just kind of like mean and
(19:09):
mean spirited.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And I think that's like kind of along the lines
of like we can we can play with like.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I remember saying, I think once it's like, oh yeah,
we kind of get like chat on a lot in
this show, like throughout it. And I remember somebody saying like, oh,
it's kind of like flattery on the show, which is
kind of up in its own right, but like it
(19:40):
is kind of like we're taking you.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
How do I Well, no, I think it's correct me
if I'm wrong, but it's all in fun when it's like,
you know, I was called a muppet because of how
my voice sounds, and like they would pick on some
of our physical attributes, things that aren't a really big
deal most of the time. A couple of times it
crossed the line.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, yeah, because it's.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Sort of like, as I always say, like lose the friend,
don't lose the joke. As long as it is funny,
you can get away with it. Yeah, the moment it
is not funny.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Right, it goes like a step too far and more
of a dig than a joke.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
And it's sort of like the whole thing with we
have six seasons of evidence of like those Santana monologues
being they work because they're so witty, they're mean and cunning,
but she also like says things, and like same thing
with Kitties monologues. Yes, yes, say things in like a
really horrible way, but they would still be funny how
(20:41):
they were worded.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yes, yes, for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And so like that. Yeah, this just felt like and
it went on and on and on. Yep, yep, I
felt bad for that greed.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, this doesn't didn't say it right, so I anyway,
we addressed it now we're moving on.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Were you trying to skip over it? And I brought
it up?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
No, no, no, I walked definitely had to bring it out.
I'm just glad it's hell her now. Kurt then apologizes
to Brittany.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
It's such a good scene.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I really like these two together, And I don't think
we seek a lot of Kurt Brittany together like they
used to it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
We used to obviously when they were.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Like, you know, she was his beard, but like it's
been years since we've seen that, So to see them
connecting was like really sweet. I really loved it.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You know what's nice is the trajectory of Brittany. Yes,
it's since you know, her getting into Mit thing was
a little cuckoo mm hmm. But but there's something about
how they've allowed that to like open Brittany's like self
(22:08):
assuredness or confidence in a different way because she was
always confident mm hmm. But knowing that she's also smart
and she believes that she's like almost like the zen person.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Now she's coming to her own and I think the
writers and Heather simultaneously found their rhythm and so I
think like she felt more confident because they were writing
more for her and like gave her more to work with.
And I was tastally like we saw how they kind
of come out of her shell in a different way,
like you know, moving from like dancer to actress and
(22:41):
to all these other things. And so I think it
was like a perfect Yeah, it was like very synergistic.
But I act one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You see the difference between her and Santana, which is
how they react as the exact same thing happening to them.
And I just thought it was really nice to have
like the hot head, fiery Santana.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Of course more sound.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, and then you just have like, yeah, brilliant, brilliant
Brittany who knew.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And I heard the mounds and oh so funny lesbian.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I love a mound, by the way, So what does
that say?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I love an almond? Joy?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Well, I love both?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Actually Oh yeah, I mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Those are those? Are it? Somebody should make those with
peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Where would the peanut butter go or on top?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I don't know either.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Inside Okay, here's my pitch.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
This has turned into like porn for me. Okay, Jenna,
keep going.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Okay, I think with the almond joy, you wrap it in,
you dip it in peanut butter below, the chocolate above
above the other stuff and the mound oh hold on inside,
but like wrapped in it, so like.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Chocolate is the chocolate on the outside still Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
So it's chocolate and then almond and then peanut butter
and then coconut.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Have it your way eat his snickers.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, I was thinking chocolate, peanut butter, almond, coconut, oh love.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And with the mound, maybe just dipping it all in
it like peanut bur on the outside.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You can't bring up candy or music around me because
then I really just I'm a dog and the dog.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Would you have eaten all those candies if you were
shooting that, oh you know, I would eat.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Like dozens.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
And that's the problem with shooting with food. I'm reading
a bag of chips in the cafeteria once. It was
like a Valentine's episode and I just ripped the room.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Putting that hot, that frozen hot chocolate in front of
me at serendipity is the same thing as.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Putting in in front of me. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
We cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Can't control myself.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
No, and Jenna like unhinges her jaw like a cartoon
and like.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Like a bag is gone.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
He is completely gone.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I was out to dinner with a bunch of people
last night, and I was like, you know, and like
you share a bunch, but like you don't want to
be the one who eats too much. Well, I was starving,
but I was like staring at food trying to like
pick at.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Like little pieces because I was like, oh my.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
God, why doesn't anybody eat? I am starving?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Oh I don't, I don't care anymore. I have fully
just I'm like, you know what, I'm done being polite
like there was still okay, and I eat like we're
six feet tall.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
That's what I'm saying, Like give me more, okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Moving on, we have Becky and Becky reveals that well,
first of all, Tina come out.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Of the choir room chasing Quinton.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It was crazy, crazy, team's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But then she's like, Becky, where are you doing in college?
Wheren't you in college?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
And Becky Becky in this scene also was I cannot
believe we got away with this.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
How is she allowed to say what she says?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I don't know, I.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Was I think when we were shooting this too, I
was like, my jaw was like, ah.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You guys like whores and bitches.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I'm like, oh my god, this is horrible.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It was so funny.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Though it was really funny.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I also liked that neither of you are reacting to it.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I mean, I think you were trying not to laugh,
to be honest, like I was really having to like
hold it together in these scenes with they're so funny,
and you could hear Ian like snickering.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Mind then monitoly stop laughing or make me break.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
It looked like both of you left your bodies.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, I think we had to a little bit number
one because we were like is this actually being said
right now?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And then also, don't laugh.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I don't know like how Laren Potter could get through all.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Of that so good. She was so good in the sound.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
So she has a boyfriend, but she lied to him
and said she was the president of every club in
the school, which, by the way, that montage was comedical.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
That montage is one of the best things the show's
ever done. And I also love that everybody on the
show was like, well, yeah, like that's fine. Everyone. She
was like, wait, I did something really stupid and everything.
Everyone it's like, no, no, no, no, that's fine. You
gotta line relationships. It's like, if you've learned anything on
(27:50):
the show, it's do not take relationship advice from Glee.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
No no, no, that's not. That's not what we're here for.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
No no, no, that's not. We're teaching about equality, sure, but like, yeah,
not about how lessons in how relationship?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Uh we it's revealed that obviously we've talked about Darryl,
Becky's boyfriend, and it's revealed that he does not have
down syndrome, and Justin is a very good looking, charming
sweet man, and everybody is now trying to sniff out
(28:30):
the rat and figuring out what's what he wants, what's in.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It for him? He has to ulterior motives.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Right, And in some way it's like I think when
we were shooting it, I was like, we're protecting Becky.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Well, everybody, especially Sue has created this environment where everybody's
looking out for Becky. Yeah yeah, yeah, a way to
like baby her or comment we're very honest with her, yes,
but also like boosted her up to be like this
h independent person. And then she comes back after having
(29:06):
created this web of lies, and it's that thing where
like you all can say things to Becky, but then
this new person comes in You're like, whoa.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, what is what's? What's this about?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
What's because historically we know how people can treat we
treat other people like that with down syndrome and how like,
it's a hard world out there and you just don't
trust anyone.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
And Becky's got a good crew looking out for her.
So we've got Sue, Tina coyn.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
All looking out for her.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And then obviously we get that wonderful scene from Neini
Leaks when Ras and.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Sweet Sweet Darryl.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Darryl gives a great monologue. Justin is a great monologue.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
It's really good in this episode.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
He's very good, and it felt like he'd been on
the show for forever.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yes, right, the in.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I don't think you've ever said on the show this episode.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
All Right almost said it on this episode. No, he does.
He really he fits.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Right, and Sue addresses it. Sue's like, I don't think
I've ever been beaten like that.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I also really like the scene that we did where
Becky runs out of the room after so far Away,
after sadly our song. Well, we tried it. Sorry, I'm
gonna get ahead of myself. We try to help Becky.
We teach her like the glee club way. We get
justin in the room to she's gonna perform for him.
We're singing, We're trying to coax her. She gets scared
(30:42):
and upset and she leads and we kind of chase her,
and so Britney, Santana, Tina, and Quinn chase her into
the other room and we're like what's going on and
she feels like she's stuck in these blubblah flies. And
that's the scene where like I feel like when Santana's like,
let me just give you the truth because coach she
always said like don't babies, don't baby, like give it
to her straight.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I really appreciated that.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Scene, and Lauren Potter did a wonderful job. I remember
she was like nervous about shooting that scene and right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I thought it was like beautifully written and performed by everyone,
and I was nervous, like you know, Santana starts talking
like and you know, like echoing of like this all
comes from a place of love. I think the thing
about Becky too is that like she dishes it, but
(31:35):
she can't take it like Santana can't, and so they
speak the same language in that way, and like she
was the right person to deliver that message, and you guys,
you and Quinton needed to hear that message from Darryl
for this scene to work. Like it all was just
like really well done. Nice because the storyline, I think
(31:58):
it also, like, you know, the magic of this show
is like learning more about people who we may not
interact with every day, like a person with down syndrome,
And the thing that all of you guys were concerned about,
Becky was also having those concerns in her own head
and then she voiced him to all of you, and
(32:19):
so that level of support for her was just like
a really beautiful thing, yeah to see. And then also like,
you know, the honesty from her character was like the
best thing in this episode.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
When her and Daryl end up having that really honest
conversation at read six and I have something to tell you.
First of all, I have down sysdroom.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Hi gaggle so loudly. It's so good.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
This whole scene, it's so good, justin plays with beautifully.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Lauren is just delivering, like just NonStop. It is so good.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I love seeing how sweeto it is a perfect eye up.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But geez, how was Lauren Potter not ever nominated for
an Emmy?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I don't know, because she's unbelievable in this episode.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, No, she's amazing. It's it's sometimes it's just a
little that's sometimes, Like, uh, is this okay?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I do have a question about the use of the
word whore because it's used in this episode and it's
also used in the next episode, And I'm like, is
it because we've been like banished to Friday nights that
we can sort of get away with saying whatever because
nobody's checking.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I guess so, because I was shocked, truly shocked. I
really didn't think that stuff was going to make it
into the episode.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I don't know. The good question you had to ask
the ratings people.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
So the other thing going on this episode is Coach Beast.
Sam has been filling in for Coach Beast because she's
been missing out on some practices. Spencer, you know, wants
to become starting quarterback. If I remember the last episode,
(34:30):
Sue was trying to offer him something enticing to take
down the glee club, and he's like, well, I want
to be starting QB. Can you fire coach Beast because
she's missing a lot of practice and she won't make
him starting QB. Come to find out, Sue confronts Beast
(34:52):
after rifling through her things and says she founds steroids
and all this medicine and says, do you have cancer?
Speaker 1 (34:59):
It's not what I I was expecting to come out.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
No, And then Beast says yes, and then Sue, you know,
when she shows up, she really does, and she says,
I'm gonna help you however I can.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
So No, No, Beast visited web Live.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Yes kind of, and then there's another meeting because Sam
gets pulled into the principal's office with Sue and Beast.
I shouldn't laugh, I know, but it's just Sue says, well,
Beast has cancer and he's like, no, I don't, and
then this whole thing riding Yeah. But what starts off
(35:39):
sort of as hilarity turns into a really sort of
groundbreaking conversation where Beast says that she has been diagnosed
with gender dysphoria and she's sort of coming out this is.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Not what I thought was happening going to happen.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Obviously we know this is coming, like we knew as
but I don't know that anybody watching could have seen
this coming, especially.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
With the state of.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
The world right now and the safety by which our trands,
our trans friends and family are being.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Attacked.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Like in this way, I feel very grateful that.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
The show was able to kind of bring this.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
To national television in this way and represent in this way.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I don't know now, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I would like to hear from our trans friends, like
how they felt about watching this transpire and what this
how the storyline transpires, it's coming episodes.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I pray that it's.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Not washed over in any way and that we do
it justice. I do because I know what they were trying.
I know what the writers were trying to do, you know, yeah.
And I know that what Dot was trying to do
with care and love, yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
And I know that the response.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
What resonated with me because I cannot speak for anybody
else right is like the way in which they responded
to Dot or to Beast in that office in that.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Moment was so beautiful. It resonated because I was like, well,
that's how exactly how I would.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Have responded, and how you'd hope anybody would respond.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Right, And I know that there's not not everybody would
have responded that way. But to see the support and
to see the positive and to see that response in
the way that it can be handled was actually really important.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
I think having Suit specifically responded that way, where two
episodes ago she was saying all kinds of crazy like
trans slurs, and how she immediately got up and voiced
her support and then physically showed her support. And Sue
(38:22):
is someone who we said, you know, I had a
lot of Maga leanings and for her too when it
comes to the real things, the serious things, she gets
and she shows up and yeah, And the point wasn't
(38:45):
also like belabored, Sue didn't have to look inward to
think of how she felt and like is this right?
You can't do this you were born a biological woman.
She didn't do any of that. She never questioned it.
She got up and just showed her support, no questions asked. Yeah,
(39:07):
and that is how you do it, preach and having
Sam there in the same way, think about where like
Sam came from when he came on the show, and
you have different generations and they're supporting her or supporting
them in the best way possible. And yeah, I thought
(39:31):
that was just really beautiful. And of course Dot is
just like the most like heart outside of her chest.
You know what's scary. I know this is sort of
beside the point, but yesterday I saw I'm in London
(39:51):
right now. Yesterday the Supreme Court of the UK had
a big ruling of finding what a woman is and
it's quite harmful to trans people like JK. Rowling was
very happy about it. Wow, to give you some context.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
And you know, also just having left the US where
sort of like the authoritarian playbook is to go after
people like that, right, and to go after media and
education in these sorts of ways, were like Glee. Could
(40:35):
Glee exist under this current administration where they're going after
people who dissent?
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Honestly think we would have been a really big target.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
And so it's this week has made me more grateful
than ever that Glee exists, It still exists, It is
still out there.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
These for administrations like Obama while he was a noviluce
that we were able to be in a time where
we felt like we were making progress and.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
There was celebration versus repression.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
And humanizing people that we may not have a personal
relationship too. You know, like the trans population in the
US is between zero point five and one percent. It
is a very small percentage of the population. So the
likelihood that people don't have never met a trans person
(41:34):
or aren't close with a transperson is very possible. And
people currently empower prey upon that and try to make
you fearful when all, like everyone just wants to be
treated equally, just respected of human kindness. And so it's
(41:57):
and to have someone like you said, like Dot play
this part, and to have a show that was not
scared of going down this road, and I do to
echo you hope we don't remember. I hope the storyline
plays out in a really positive way. Yeah, it was.
It was interesting watching that. I watched it yesterday when
(42:19):
that ruling came out, and it was you know, I
have quite a few transfriends. I'm working with some trans
people in this production I'm doing now, and so it's
it's hard. I can't imagine how hard it is for
them right now. And so I am to remind people
(42:41):
of their humanity or to find it is really important.
And that's why. I know Glee's silly and can be fun,
but that's why representation is more than just I don't know,
a joke on screen. To be able to have characters
(43:02):
respond to trans characters in a positive way, it's just
very important. Anyway, there's my piece.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Well, Ken, all right, Well did we miss any songs.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
Right now? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (43:19):
So let's do all right, Uh, it's too late.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
I really like this.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
I did too. I'll give it an A. Yeah, hand
in my pocket to the earth.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Move the performance, love the performance. I'll give it an
A as well.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Yeah, will you love me tomorrow? Head over feet?
Speaker 2 (43:40):
I'm glad Billy is singing yes, because boy, that boy
can sing yes. He can beautiful voice. They sound so
beautiful together. I know they cut away from most of
their number.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
I know, with a lot of Curt and Blaine, which
I'm sure a lot of people didn't were like, well
where's the new kids, But then also like Curt and
Blaine being like, yeah, this is this is about curtain Blade.
It was.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
It was a really beautiful song for that montage. It was,
and they sounded so good, so good fan. I'm giving
that an a plus to be honest.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Yeah, Okay, so Far half of So Far Away.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
He.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Well, the performance itself because they cut it short. I'm
giving that an F.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Yeah you learn you've got a friend a B B.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Plus it just was like no gay at a little
closer of the episode, Yeah, let's.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
See some tarty takes h cringe moments. Well, obviously Santana's rant.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, I think that's uh.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yeah yeah yeah, okay uh. And also this was not good.
Roz's whole thing was really funny, but Ro's thinking it
was Robin Sue's daughter. I was like, please don't go there,
Please don't go there. Oh they went there?
Speaker 3 (45:14):
Yeah, moving on, that's dance, moved.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
Earth Move, I'll give the other and Miami.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yeah that song, I'm going will you Love Me Tomorrow?
Head over feet?
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yeah yeah, I feel But.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Had they used a full version of So Far Away,
go listen to that, everyone.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
I mean I still I think will You Love Me Tomorrow?
If he was excellent, could have could still be the
number one over So Far Away?
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Okay uh.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
Prop the jockstrap that Sam is sniffing and ironing.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Becky's president club photo shoots.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
You know, this is why people online think Sam is
by because Cord would just do like that.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Yeah, for sure, it's for fun.
Speaker 3 (46:13):
Yeah yeah, yeah, best lying anything. Becky said this this
episode she said, I'm not lying Tanya, and oh my god,
I had to rewind.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
I was like, what did she say.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Her whole bit calling you guys when she called Quinn Kitty?
I lost it.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
It's really funny.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
I lost it. It's really funny performance MVP Lauren Potter.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Lauren Potter, Lauren Potter, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
All right. So should we find on TikTok this week?
It's Martha a video of them and looks like class
US and says conservatism becoming the dominant force of society,
the beginning of a recession, and pop music making a comeback.
It only makes sense for a Glee boot to make
(47:10):
its return, only this time the formula would have to
remain the same for it to work. Newcast, unknown actors
picked off the street, and a satirical script full of
plot holes and inconsistencies. I agree, hmm. I said it before,
I'll say it again. I sort of think.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
So that's funny.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
Well we got through with Jenna.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
We did all right? Well you guys, I hope you
enjoyed Episode three. Recap joined us next week for.

I listened to the whole version of this one because
Andrew told us that it was a bob yeah, and
I listened to it. I was like, number one, I
don't remember recording this. Number two I soundedly cuds yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't say that ever. I don't know ever.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I was like, Wow, she suits her. This is a
good this suits her. This song.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's funny when it's like an emotional thing and you're
crying and like they cut you off and I go,
there goes Tina again. But you guys sound so good
on this. It's such a good cover and there's like
nothing going on, and you still don't get to finish it,
and like the bit's done, the bit's dead.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It wasn't even my bit this time though.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It wasn't even exactly because of Lauren Oh and Becky, sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You're catching strays, Like this wasn't even about you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I am catching.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I was pissed, I literally because I forgot this one.
I know we talked about it with Andrew that you
don't even finish it, but I out loud, I go,
oh no, because like what are we doing? No really
long numbers in this, like the Santana and Brittany number.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It is so long.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I could have watched them perform all day. However, that
didn't feel like it's TV at it.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, And we've got You Learn, You've Got a Friend,
the alum and the new new directions essentially, So this
is the third episode to be a tribute to an album,
the first being Rumors Second Meeting Saturday Night Leaver.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
This episode, however, is a tribute to two albums. So
that's the first.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Okay, So Teena is Alvin drinkhand in my Pocket, Feel
the Earth Move is the one she wore for the
season six photo shoot.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh, there's a lot of that in this episode. M
h Brattany's outfit during You Learn sa She've Got a Friend.
It's the one she wore for her season six photo shoot.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
As we said, yes, and this marks the last appearance.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Oh no, this marks the last appearance of Roz Washington
on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And it's a good one, to be.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Fair, it's a really good one. I was so happy
to be there for it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Can we just talk about it while we're here, because
it felt like, you know, she naturally said down syndrume
how she says down syndrome and that, and then Jane
clocked it and then the whole scene turned into a
thing between how she pronounced down syndrome.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's so I was like, I it brought me back
to the scene, like I was like, I was watching
and I was like, oh my god, I forgot about this.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Sitting on that couch trying to hold it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Together while she gave that speech, her saying it the
way she said it, I was like, I am not.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well, right, shout out to We had a guest star
this week was Justin Prentiss, who was on thirteen Reasons
Why and he's in this episode a lot. And he
had to be in there with those powerhouses and had
to stand up and then also say down syndrome. And
I continue on with to see it. I was like,
do you know what, Yeah, you know what? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
He was sweet. All right, give me the give me the.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Little summary. Rachel and Kurt struggle as they try to
rebuild and co direct the glee club at McKinley. Meanwhile,
Sue is concerned when Becky brings her new boyfriend to town.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Okay, Becky loved the storyline.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, really, this is a good, juicy, meaningful and funny storyline.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I loved it. I loved being part of it. I
loved watching it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I thought, Lauren, kudos, Lauren Potter, it was all real good.
That was definitely my favorite storyline of the episode. And
also just In Prentice so sweet, adorable and really funny.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Did you watch Thirteen Reasons? Why? Yes, it was start
because he plays not a great person in that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Show, right and nice nice.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yes, it was really hard for me to watch him
in this episode. I know, I know, I know, and
he's so sweet and so I kept waiting for there
to be the shoe to drop because of how he
was on thirteen.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Well, he does play really good villains in that way,
right or like and then you're like.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Oh, well, where it is? Where is it?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, we're doing well today. Neither of us are making sense.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You know what if people are still listening to us
after this many episodes, they know they know.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Kevin and I have both have half a brain, and
so we make one full brain.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I think we make one half a brain. Actually I
don't know how that math works, but.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, we're a quarter man. We work in quarters, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Kurt sees Kowsky and Blaine in the record shop cross.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He's real handsy. Why does he like does he have
to have his hands all over brain every single scene.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Because it feels conniving.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It is conniving yet and yet maybe his love language
is touch, you know, like it's just who he is.
We just don't We're not used to seeing Krofsky in
this light. We're not used to seeing asking a romantic relationship.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
He's happy, but out of respect for his boyfriend's ex,
who you also bullied, don't you help you? And like
the whole respect. Yeah, yeah, like you do that at home.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I know. And poor Kurt well Kirk.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Says that he has a a dream sequence.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Of like watching himself before, which I loved. I loved
that he said that.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I really enjoyed that dream sequence.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Love it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I was also startled how quickly a song happened in
this episode. There was literally like two lines and then
we're into a song.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
These songs are long, except for Tina's song. These songs
are long.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
As they should be because they're incredible songs.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, I know, I'm like, give me the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
That dream sequence it looks like aged.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Backwards, I mean likes age backwards.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It was so strange. I really liked how it was.
I just I really liked it.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I really enjoyed it as well.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hurt and Rachel are now like kind of in the
throes of like starting this glee club up again. They're
recruiting members, try and make a lot of plan they're
having trouble.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
This scene has written so well. I really like their
back and forth.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah, I like this whole like like kind of one
upping each other the whole episode.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It's very funny, it is. And they're both great physical
comedic actors. Yes, yeah, And so there's so much going
on between them and every scene and they're really hidden it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And it's just so character driven, like the both of them.
This makes total sense for like I'm I'm in you know, Rachel.
Kurt is saying he thinks that it should be a
breakup album, and it should be Tapestry obviously, and it's
going to be Carol King and Rachel's like, well, if
we're going to do a breakup album, it should.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Be Jaggue Little Pill, both of which I agree with.
I agree.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
They are both excellent, excellent albums, if not some of
the best albums out there.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Kurt says, let's do a mashup.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I will say throughout the episode, I love both albums separately.
I'm not the biggest fan of these together.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I had Adamanda's voice in my head whilst watching this.
Yeah yeah, yeah, like you know, sometimes they just don't work.
Yeah yeah. I I liked when people had like just
the solo songs.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Agreed, agreed, agreed.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Two rights don't make another, right, right, that's the same, right.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Well, so Kurt and Rachel in there, I'm actually giving
the lesson plan to the new directions and asking the
alum to come back.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
They're having trouble. It's just so weird, the two of them.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
All the alumnis sitting.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
There there, like, how are you doing this? Right?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I love how like self aware this episode was, you know,
like Kurt saying like dreams twins or whatever he dreamed
about watching them sing a song and like us being
like here we are and Brittany's bending space and time.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I don't know. It was sad. I was said that
I was there for another episode, that you were not
there for what back? Do you know why you weren't there?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't know. I honestly, I think I so for
this season, like we were only signed up for certain
I was regular for a certain amount of episodes. Oh
and so I think they were.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Just actually waiting to hold the.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
End because I did. They didn't need me in this episode.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
No totally, which I like rightful to, like, yeah, not
be sitting there the old Yeah. Britt In Santana, Kurt
and Rachel are having a hard time love that love
this dynamic for them. They can't figure out all song
di stinc together. So Brittany and Santana of Cour's offer
that they'll go first, they do Hand in my Pocket.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I feel the Earth Move again, I will say. I
was like.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, this is an interesting song choice, and then earth
Move came in and I was like, just we should
have just done this.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I feel the Earth Move. Oh God, watch them.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
All day long.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Do this.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Heather sounds great.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
She does really good.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
There's something about it. I don't know what it is.
I don't know. Maybe it's the key it's in like
she sounds like better than ever.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
No, I know it's really good. I love this and
I love Earth Move obviously. Like I feel the Eric
Move was like, you.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Know what's weird about this mashup? For me was the
tempo of Hand in my Pocket was like bumped up
for I Feel the Earth movie.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I think that's why I didn't like it as much,
because I'm like a Lenis, like leave it as it is,
like it's perfect, that is not Alanis's tempo.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
The structuring of it and everything was really good and
the performance was incredible and they sounded so good together. Yeah,
but it was a strange mashup, you.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Know, like while I'm grateful that we were doing a
jagged and a tapestry episode, I wish they could have
been separate because it could have really been We could
have leaned into both of them a little bit more,
I think, but grateful for it, yes, So.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's also it reminded me of you know, Carol King
has so many big songs covered by other people, and
that hearing different people do Carol King songs in this
episode just reminded me like, like like I said with
Dolly Parton and I Will Always Love You, these songs
(13:58):
are written so incredibly well yea, that they can be
taken to other genres with different styles of singers and
still sound incredible or even better. And like it's those
artist songs like this song could have been Naya's.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Song totally totally like and it just.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Felt fresh and new, and it's it's like so far away.
That felt like if you and Diana were in a
girl group or something, are you gonna do it? Like
it sounded like that could have been your record, right right,
right right, Well the songs version, these songs are just good.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Well, we'll be on from the music for a second
because we're going to sorry, no, no, no, moving back
to it. I forgot that this was a proposal. We
were just there for a proposal and it was kind
of blackluster. I'm not gonna lie right, super excited for it,
but like these are kids who don't know them at
(14:55):
all in a place where like like mister Tree's not there,
nobody's there, like and we're literally handclapping for that matter,
hand clapping.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I was like, this is so weird. I was so sad.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I was like, and I don't remember if I think,
like while we were shooting it also like.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
We were like, okay, we're just this is a proposal,
but more importantly, we're so happy Britannas together and that
they're engaged.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Uh, Kurt is this one makes sense?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Feeling better.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Kurt is feeling better because obviously of his breakup and
so he's like, we're too young and we're not ready
and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And you know what, Tina came through.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
She really did coming through.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Uh. She says some stupid this season, but like, you
know what she came.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Through, And uh, I just think the whole thing felt
a little lackluster.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You know what I wish honestly, like their proposal, I
wish you just stayed with them, yea once it gets
broken up by and I get it the new kids
being like, wait, is this right? Because that's what it
feels like and it shouldn't feel like that, Like how
to just stayed on them in like an intimate moment
and it didn't even matter about how all of you reacted.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
They're just in a good place, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah. And then Kurt still could have had his you know,
like lash out, but like the break and the momentum of.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
The y yeah yeah, because like I'd be curious how
the the Britannic shippers felt like about it, like to
care just because it's what it, you know what I mean,
Like they're they're together or is it like give them more?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You know, give me more?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
So Kurt lashes out and then that leads to god,
we have to maybe the most infamous monologue in Glee
her history. So our podcast before this podcast called show Manz,
we had Heather and Nya on, and Nya said that
(17:16):
she we asked them about sort of their most uncomfortable
things they did on the show, or something like, oh so,
so I'm butchering this now, what was it.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Their least one of the least favorite or unhinged things
that they had to shoot or say on the show.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And Nya had said this model.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And I think because if I am correct, and obviously.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
We could go back and listen to that episode, but
like it's because.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Santana has come like a really long way right in general,
and I feel like she this is not who she
is anymore or what she's doing. But she was wronged
by Kurt, so obviously this is the fuel that set
her off. But she said Nya said that this really
told the line of being like let's be comedic and
(18:13):
and let's kind of like play with the insults versus
like just being like flat out mean.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You know, it felt like when you see, like you
watch somebody do a roast or like a bad best
man speech. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's like, oh no,
this isn't funny, this is just mean. Yeah, it felt
a little too like personal, and I think Nya alluded
to that too, where like she felt uncomfortable doing it,
Chris felt uncomfortable doing it because it it didn't feel
(18:44):
like in character for either of them, where it felt
like a real attack in some ways.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Right, It's kind of like it reminds me of right now,
what happened with the Amy Lou Wood and SNL when
they did a parody on White Lotus and uh, they
they kind of like created this caricature for her on
the show on US So now, and she came out
and said it was just kind of like mean and
(19:09):
mean spirited.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And I think that's like kind of along the lines
of like we can we can play with like.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I remember saying, I think once it's like, oh yeah,
we kind of get like chat on a lot in
this show, like throughout it. And I remember somebody saying like, oh,
it's kind of like flattery on the show, which is
kind of up in its own right, but like it
(19:40):
is kind of like we're taking you.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
How do I Well, no, I think it's correct me
if I'm wrong, but it's all in fun when it's like,
you know, I was called a muppet because of how
my voice sounds, and like they would pick on some
of our physical attributes, things that aren't a really big
deal most of the time. A couple of times it
crossed the line.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, yeah, because it's.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Sort of like, as I always say, like lose the friend,
don't lose the joke. As long as it is funny,
you can get away with it. Yeah, the moment it
is not funny.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Right, it goes like a step too far and more
of a dig than a joke.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
And it's sort of like the whole thing with we
have six seasons of evidence of like those Santana monologues
being they work because they're so witty, they're mean and cunning,
but she also like says things, and like same thing
with Kitties monologues. Yes, yes, say things in like a
really horrible way, but they would still be funny how
(20:41):
they were worded.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yes, yes, for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And so like that. Yeah, this just felt like and
it went on and on and on. Yep, yep, I
felt bad for that greed.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, this doesn't didn't say it right, so I anyway,
we addressed it now we're moving on.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Were you trying to skip over it? And I brought
it up?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
No, no, no, I walked definitely had to bring it out.
I'm just glad it's hell her now. Kurt then apologizes
to Brittany.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
It's such a good scene.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I really like these two together, And I don't think
we seek a lot of Kurt Brittany together like they
used to it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
We used to obviously when they were.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Like, you know, she was his beard, but like it's
been years since we've seen that, So to see them
connecting was like really sweet. I really loved it.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You know what's nice is the trajectory of Brittany. Yes,
it's since you know, her getting into Mit thing was
a little cuckoo mm hmm. But but there's something about
how they've allowed that to like open Brittany's like self
(22:08):
assuredness or confidence in a different way because she was
always confident mm hmm. But knowing that she's also smart
and she believes that she's like almost like the zen person.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Now she's coming to her own and I think the
writers and Heather simultaneously found their rhythm and so I
think like she felt more confident because they were writing
more for her and like gave her more to work with.
And I was tastally like we saw how they kind
of come out of her shell in a different way,
like you know, moving from like dancer to actress and
(22:41):
to all these other things. And so I think it
was like a perfect Yeah, it was like very synergistic.
But I act one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You see the difference between her and Santana, which is
how they react as the exact same thing happening to them.
And I just thought it was really nice to have
like the hot head, fiery Santana.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Of course more sound.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, and then you just have like, yeah, brilliant, brilliant
Brittany who knew.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And I heard the mounds and oh so funny lesbian.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I love a mound, by the way, So what does
that say?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I love an almond? Joy?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Well, I love both?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Actually Oh yeah, I mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Those are those? Are it? Somebody should make those with
peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Where would the peanut butter go or on top?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I don't know either.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Inside Okay, here's my pitch.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
This has turned into like porn for me. Okay, Jenna,
keep going.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Okay, I think with the almond joy, you wrap it in,
you dip it in peanut butter below, the chocolate above
above the other stuff and the mound oh hold on inside,
but like wrapped in it, so like.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Chocolate is the chocolate on the outside still Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
So it's chocolate and then almond and then peanut butter
and then coconut.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Have it your way eat his snickers.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, I was thinking chocolate, peanut butter, almond, coconut, oh love.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And with the mound, maybe just dipping it all in
it like peanut bur on the outside.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You can't bring up candy or music around me because
then I really just I'm a dog and the dog.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Would you have eaten all those candies if you were
shooting that, oh you know, I would eat.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Like dozens.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
And that's the problem with shooting with food. I'm reading
a bag of chips in the cafeteria once. It was
like a Valentine's episode and I just ripped the room.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Putting that hot, that frozen hot chocolate in front of
me at serendipity is the same thing as.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Putting in in front of me. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
We cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Can't control myself.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
No, and Jenna like unhinges her jaw like a cartoon
and like.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Like a bag is gone.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
He is completely gone.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I was out to dinner with a bunch of people
last night, and I was like, you know, and like
you share a bunch, but like you don't want to
be the one who eats too much. Well, I was starving,
but I was like staring at food trying to like
pick at.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Like little pieces because I was like, oh my.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
God, why doesn't anybody eat? I am starving?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Oh I don't, I don't care anymore. I have fully
just I'm like, you know what, I'm done being polite
like there was still okay, and I eat like we're
six feet tall.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
That's what I'm saying, Like give me more, okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Moving on, we have Becky and Becky reveals that well,
first of all, Tina come out.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Of the choir room chasing Quinton.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It was crazy, crazy, team's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But then she's like, Becky, where are you doing in college?
Wheren't you in college?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
And Becky Becky in this scene also was I cannot
believe we got away with this.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
How is she allowed to say what she says?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I don't know, I.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Was I think when we were shooting this too, I
was like, my jaw was like, ah.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You guys like whores and bitches.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I'm like, oh my god, this is horrible.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It was so funny.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Though it was really funny.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I also liked that neither of you are reacting to it.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I mean, I think you were trying not to laugh,
to be honest, like I was really having to like
hold it together in these scenes with they're so funny,
and you could hear Ian like snickering.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Mind then monitoly stop laughing or make me break.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
It looked like both of you left your bodies.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, I think we had to a little bit number
one because we were like is this actually being said
right now?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And then also, don't laugh.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I don't know like how Laren Potter could get through all.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Of that so good. She was so good in the sound.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
So she has a boyfriend, but she lied to him
and said she was the president of every club in
the school, which, by the way, that montage was comedical.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
That montage is one of the best things the show's
ever done. And I also love that everybody on the
show was like, well, yeah, like that's fine. Everyone. She
was like, wait, I did something really stupid and everything.
Everyone it's like, no, no, no, no, that's fine. You
gotta line relationships. It's like, if you've learned anything on
(27:50):
the show, it's do not take relationship advice from Glee.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
No no, no, that's not. That's not what we're here for.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
No no, no, that's not. We're teaching about equality, sure, but like, yeah,
not about how lessons in how relationship?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Uh we it's revealed that obviously we've talked about Darryl,
Becky's boyfriend, and it's revealed that he does not have
down syndrome, and Justin is a very good looking, charming
sweet man, and everybody is now trying to sniff out
(28:30):
the rat and figuring out what's what he wants, what's in.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It for him? He has to ulterior motives.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Right, And in some way it's like I think when
we were shooting it, I was like, we're protecting Becky.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Well, everybody, especially Sue has created this environment where everybody's
looking out for Becky. Yeah yeah, yeah, a way to
like baby her or comment we're very honest with her, yes,
but also like boosted her up to be like this
h independent person. And then she comes back after having
(29:06):
created this web of lies, and it's that thing where
like you all can say things to Becky, but then
this new person comes in You're like, whoa.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, what is what's? What's this about?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
What's because historically we know how people can treat we
treat other people like that with down syndrome and how like,
it's a hard world out there and you just don't
trust anyone.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
And Becky's got a good crew looking out for her.
So we've got Sue, Tina coyn.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
All looking out for her.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And then obviously we get that wonderful scene from Neini
Leaks when Ras and.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Sweet Sweet Darryl.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Darryl gives a great monologue. Justin is a great monologue.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
It's really good in this episode.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
He's very good, and it felt like he'd been on
the show for forever.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yes, right, the in.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I don't think you've ever said on the show this episode.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
All Right almost said it on this episode. No, he does.
He really he fits.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Right, and Sue addresses it. Sue's like, I don't think
I've ever been beaten like that.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I also really like the scene that we did where
Becky runs out of the room after so far Away,
after sadly our song. Well, we tried it. Sorry, I'm
gonna get ahead of myself. We try to help Becky.
We teach her like the glee club way. We get
justin in the room to she's gonna perform for him.
We're singing, We're trying to coax her. She gets scared
(30:42):
and upset and she leads and we kind of chase her,
and so Britney, Santana, Tina, and Quinn chase her into
the other room and we're like what's going on and
she feels like she's stuck in these blubblah flies. And
that's the scene where like I feel like when Santana's like,
let me just give you the truth because coach she
always said like don't babies, don't baby, like give it
to her straight.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I really appreciated that.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Scene, and Lauren Potter did a wonderful job. I remember
she was like nervous about shooting that scene and right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I thought it was like beautifully written and performed by everyone,
and I was nervous, like you know, Santana starts talking
like and you know, like echoing of like this all
comes from a place of love. I think the thing
about Becky too is that like she dishes it, but
(31:35):
she can't take it like Santana can't, and so they
speak the same language in that way, and like she
was the right person to deliver that message, and you guys,
you and Quinton needed to hear that message from Darryl
for this scene to work. Like it all was just
like really well done. Nice because the storyline, I think
(31:58):
it also, like, you know, the magic of this show
is like learning more about people who we may not
interact with every day, like a person with down syndrome,
And the thing that all of you guys were concerned about,
Becky was also having those concerns in her own head
and then she voiced him to all of you, and
(32:19):
so that level of support for her was just like
a really beautiful thing, yeah to see. And then also like,
you know, the honesty from her character was like the
best thing in this episode.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
When her and Daryl end up having that really honest
conversation at read six and I have something to tell you.
First of all, I have down sysdroom.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Hi gaggle so loudly. It's so good.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
This whole scene, it's so good, justin plays with beautifully.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Lauren is just delivering, like just NonStop. It is so good.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I love seeing how sweeto it is a perfect eye up.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But geez, how was Lauren Potter not ever nominated for
an Emmy?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I don't know, because she's unbelievable in this episode.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, No, she's amazing. It's it's sometimes it's just a
little that's sometimes, Like, uh, is this okay?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I do have a question about the use of the
word whore because it's used in this episode and it's
also used in the next episode, And I'm like, is
it because we've been like banished to Friday nights that
we can sort of get away with saying whatever because
nobody's checking.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I guess so, because I was shocked, truly shocked. I
really didn't think that stuff was going to make it
into the episode.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I don't know. The good question you had to ask
the ratings people.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
So the other thing going on this episode is Coach Beast.
Sam has been filling in for Coach Beast because she's
been missing out on some practices. Spencer, you know, wants
to become starting quarterback. If I remember the last episode,
(34:30):
Sue was trying to offer him something enticing to take
down the glee club, and he's like, well, I want
to be starting QB. Can you fire coach Beast because
she's missing a lot of practice and she won't make
him starting QB. Come to find out, Sue confronts Beast
(34:52):
after rifling through her things and says she founds steroids
and all this medicine and says, do you have cancer?
Speaker 1 (34:59):
It's not what I I was expecting to come out.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
No, And then Beast says yes, and then Sue, you know,
when she shows up, she really does, and she says,
I'm gonna help you however I can.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
So No, No, Beast visited web Live.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Yes kind of, and then there's another meeting because Sam
gets pulled into the principal's office with Sue and Beast.
I shouldn't laugh, I know, but it's just Sue says, well,
Beast has cancer and he's like, no, I don't, and
then this whole thing riding Yeah. But what starts off
(35:39):
sort of as hilarity turns into a really sort of
groundbreaking conversation where Beast says that she has been diagnosed
with gender dysphoria and she's sort of coming out this is.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Not what I thought was happening going to happen.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Obviously we know this is coming, like we knew as
but I don't know that anybody watching could have seen
this coming, especially.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
With the state of.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
The world right now and the safety by which our trands,
our trans friends and family are being.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Attacked.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Like in this way, I feel very grateful that.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
The show was able to kind of bring this.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
To national television in this way and represent in this way.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I don't know now, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I would like to hear from our trans friends, like
how they felt about watching this transpire and what this
how the storyline transpires, it's coming episodes.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I pray that it's.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Not washed over in any way and that we do
it justice. I do because I know what they were trying.
I know what the writers were trying to do, you know, yeah.
And I know that what Dot was trying to do
with care and love, yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
And I know that the response.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
What resonated with me because I cannot speak for anybody
else right is like the way in which they responded
to Dot or to Beast in that office in that.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Moment was so beautiful. It resonated because I was like, well,
that's how exactly how I would.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Have responded, and how you'd hope anybody would respond.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Right, And I know that there's not not everybody would
have responded that way. But to see the support and
to see the positive and to see that response in
the way that it can be handled was actually really important.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
I think having Suit specifically responded that way, where two
episodes ago she was saying all kinds of crazy like
trans slurs, and how she immediately got up and voiced
her support and then physically showed her support. And Sue
(38:22):
is someone who we said, you know, I had a
lot of Maga leanings and for her too when it
comes to the real things, the serious things, she gets
and she shows up and yeah, And the point wasn't
(38:45):
also like belabored, Sue didn't have to look inward to
think of how she felt and like is this right?
You can't do this you were born a biological woman.
She didn't do any of that. She never questioned it.
She got up and just showed her support, no questions asked. Yeah,
(39:07):
and that is how you do it, preach and having
Sam there in the same way, think about where like
Sam came from when he came on the show, and
you have different generations and they're supporting her or supporting
them in the best way possible. And yeah, I thought
(39:31):
that was just really beautiful. And of course Dot is
just like the most like heart outside of her chest.
You know what's scary. I know this is sort of
beside the point, but yesterday I saw I'm in London
(39:51):
right now. Yesterday the Supreme Court of the UK had
a big ruling of finding what a woman is and
it's quite harmful to trans people like JK. Rowling was
very happy about it. Wow, to give you some context.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
And you know, also just having left the US where
sort of like the authoritarian playbook is to go after
people like that, right, and to go after media and
education in these sorts of ways, were like Glee. Could
(40:35):
Glee exist under this current administration where they're going after
people who dissent?
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Honestly think we would have been a really big target.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
And so it's this week has made me more grateful
than ever that Glee exists, It still exists, It is
still out there.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
These for administrations like Obama while he was a noviluce
that we were able to be in a time where
we felt like we were making progress and.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
There was celebration versus repression.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
And humanizing people that we may not have a personal
relationship too. You know, like the trans population in the
US is between zero point five and one percent. It
is a very small percentage of the population. So the
likelihood that people don't have never met a trans person
(41:34):
or aren't close with a transperson is very possible. And
people currently empower prey upon that and try to make
you fearful when all, like everyone just wants to be
treated equally, just respected of human kindness. And so it's
(41:57):
and to have someone like you said, like Dot play
this part, and to have a show that was not
scared of going down this road, and I do to
echo you hope we don't remember. I hope the storyline
plays out in a really positive way. Yeah, it was.
It was interesting watching that. I watched it yesterday when
(42:19):
that ruling came out, and it was you know, I
have quite a few transfriends. I'm working with some trans
people in this production I'm doing now, and so it's
it's hard. I can't imagine how hard it is for
them right now. And so I am to remind people
(42:41):
of their humanity or to find it is really important.
And that's why. I know Glee's silly and can be fun,
but that's why representation is more than just I don't know,
a joke on screen. To be able to have characters
(43:02):
respond to trans characters in a positive way, it's just
very important. Anyway, there's my piece.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Well, Ken, all right, Well did we miss any songs.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
Right now? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (43:19):
So let's do all right, Uh, it's too late.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
I really like this.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
I did too. I'll give it an A. Yeah, hand
in my pocket to the earth.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Move the performance, love the performance. I'll give it an
A as well.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Yeah, will you love me tomorrow? Head over feet?
Speaker 2 (43:40):
I'm glad Billy is singing yes, because boy, that boy
can sing yes. He can beautiful voice. They sound so
beautiful together. I know they cut away from most of
their number.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
I know, with a lot of Curt and Blaine, which
I'm sure a lot of people didn't were like, well
where's the new kids, But then also like Curt and
Blaine being like, yeah, this is this is about curtain Blade.
It was.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
It was a really beautiful song for that montage. It was,
and they sounded so good, so good fan. I'm giving
that an a plus to be honest.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Yeah, Okay, so Far half of So Far Away.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
He.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Well, the performance itself because they cut it short. I'm
giving that an F.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Yeah you learn you've got a friend a B B.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Plus it just was like no gay at a little
closer of the episode, Yeah, let's.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
See some tarty takes h cringe moments. Well, obviously Santana's rant.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, I think that's uh.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yeah yeah yeah, okay uh. And also this was not good.
Roz's whole thing was really funny, but Ro's thinking it
was Robin Sue's daughter. I was like, please don't go there,
Please don't go there. Oh they went there?
Speaker 3 (45:14):
Yeah, moving on, that's dance, moved.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
Earth Move, I'll give the other and Miami.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yeah that song, I'm going will you Love Me Tomorrow?
Head over feet?
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yeah yeah, I feel But.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Had they used a full version of So Far Away,
go listen to that, everyone.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
I mean I still I think will You Love Me Tomorrow?
If he was excellent, could have could still be the
number one over So Far Away?
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Okay uh.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
Prop the jockstrap that Sam is sniffing and ironing.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Becky's president club photo shoots.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
You know, this is why people online think Sam is
by because Cord would just do like that.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Yeah, for sure, it's for fun.
Speaker 3 (46:13):
Yeah yeah, yeah, best lying anything. Becky said this this
episode she said, I'm not lying Tanya, and oh my god,
I had to rewind.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
I was like, what did she say.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Her whole bit calling you guys when she called Quinn Kitty?
I lost it.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
It's really funny.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
I lost it. It's really funny performance MVP Lauren Potter.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Lauren Potter, Lauren Potter, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
All right. So should we find on TikTok this week?
It's Martha a video of them and looks like class
US and says conservatism becoming the dominant force of society,
the beginning of a recession, and pop music making a comeback.
It only makes sense for a Glee boot to make
(47:10):
its return, only this time the formula would have to
remain the same for it to work. Newcast, unknown actors
picked off the street, and a satirical script full of
plot holes and inconsistencies. I agree, hmm. I said it before,
I'll say it again. I sort of think.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
So that's funny.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
Well we got through with Jenna.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
We did all right? Well you guys, I hope you
enjoyed Episode three. Recap joined us next week for.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
A very unhinged episode that I would love to hear.
What you guys thought of this upcoming well also what
you thought a jagular tapestry but really can't wait for
next week? You please write in and let us know
what you think of her Locker Okay.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Oh boy, and that's what you really missed. Thanks for listening,
and follow us on Instagram at and that's what you
really miss pod and make sure to write us a
review and leave us five stars. See you next time.
