And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Welcome to and that's where you really miss podcast. Okay.
I just had to think about what the name of
this podcast was called when I said that, because I'm
working at half speed today.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
This is going really well, Jenna, it really is.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm boring you already. Kevin is yawning at me. Don't

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It wasn't about you. I was a rehearsal.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
All always about me. Okay, it's always about me.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Also, nobody can see us, so that was supposed to
be hidden.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You better believe I.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Damn it, Jenna, Am I boring you?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay? This is season six, episode eight. This is a wedding,
A wedding, A wedding. This aired on February twenty, ath
twenty fifteen, which is around and the final day of
our filming on the show complete. Okay, Okay, we're at
(01:10):
the wedding. I like to call it the wedding because
the wedding. Yeah, it was the wedding.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's the wedding of all weddings, of the every wedding.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
It was there.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yes. So in the news this week, the number one
song is Still and will be Uptown Funk and the
number fifty.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
You were right? Okay, that no news there Glee news.
This week, February seventeenth, Glee The Music a Wedding the
EP was released. It featured four tracks from season sixth
episode eight and was released for digital DOLM only.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And you were right we alluded to a few minutes ago.
On February twenty first, the day after this episode aired,
the cast and crew wrapped production on the show's final episode,
six thirteen Dreams Come True, celebrating with a carnival at Paramount.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I mean there was a full band, there were games,
there were activities.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I feel like we should save the retelling of those
festivities for that recap.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Okay, it was really fun, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
No, no, no, don't say anymore, Jenna.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Oh I'm sorry. It was terrible. It was terrible.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, just have no opinion, okay, reined in.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Actually not talking, just dis directed by Brad Beaker and.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Written by Ross Maxwell. And then I had these special guests.
Of all special guests, I mean, it has Gina Gershaan,
Jennifer Coolidge, kin Jong, and Gloria Estefan. Like, are you
kidding me.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
When we came back to do this episode, I was like,
this is like the ultimate ultimate episode of my dreams.
All right, let's let's talk about the songs and we'll
get into the whole episode. So this has at last,
performed by Mercedes and Artie, and I'm just like, this
(03:19):
is the best number ever.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Oh my god, I don't know where you're going with that.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Oh yeah, best number ever?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Uh heyya. Performed by Artie and Jane and Madison.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I'm so excited. Performed by mothers Mother and the Trouble
Tones of.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Course, honestly, dream m h it's like big Trouble Tones. Yes,
that's right, and Our Day will Come performed by Kurt, Blaine,
Brittany and Santana mm okay uh.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
This episode includes the return of Sugar Mata after her
last appearance in season four episode twenty two, All or
Nothing and her unexplained departure. It's not right, unexplained return, It's.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Not right, no, not all. What a thrill to have
her back, I remember that very clearly.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yes, yes, definitely.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The pictures of Blaine and Kurt on Britney's suits are
from the season five photo shoot.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Of course, the press release for this episode listed Alex
Nouell starring as Unique, though with no evidence of Alex
be on set and Unique not appearing in the episode,
this was thought to be a mistake. However, scription from
the episode revealed that Unique was actually supposed to be
at the wedding, but subsequently do cut due to Alex
(04:44):
being unable to film. So Alex was booked and busy.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Good for Alex. Santana and Brittany try on wedding dresses
and the same bridle shop that Emma didn't mashup in
the first season. Yes, which I appreciate because it's a
small town. They would all be going to the same place.
But it feels like it would be a very Glee
thing for it to be a different one. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
This is the second time Mercedi sings at a wedding.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Okay, so this is my favorite fun fact.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
This episode aired four months before the US Supreme Court's
landmark ruling on same sex marriage, so it gets I
was having this conversation with somebody in London yesterday when
it was legalized. This confirms it. On June twenty sixth,
twenty fifteen, the Court issued its five four decision in
Obergerfeld versus Hodges making marriage equality the law of the
(05:40):
land in all fifty states.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Wow, it is crazy though that this was a decade ago. Wow,
only a decade ago, And how insane. One of my
favorite things about this episode, and not because I love
it the opposite in fact that you had to and
you know, they reference it in the show about you
had to cross state lines to get married, Like it
(06:06):
makes a difference, Like it's so insane, and to me
it ages and dates the show in a way that
nothing else does. Obviously the show is dated in some
other ways, but like it has to me, it feels like,
you know, same sex marriage has been legalized for so
(06:27):
much longer, in a decade, inconceivable in my head. But
that's all that that is. That is yeah, crazy, It's
really crazy, and I I like, regardless of how people feel,
and we will talk about this, about this episode and
about you know, the two couples getting married at the
(06:50):
same time. I think that was important, the thing about
having two gay weddings on national TV and saying how
they had to drive out of their home state, born
and raised to go to a neighboring state to have
a wedding.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Right is insanity? Is insanity just to get married like that? Ridiculous?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So the official episode summary Jenna, the members of the
New Directions are busy at work, planning, planning, and planning,
while Sue encourages everyone to follow their hearts. I don't.
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
People are getting senior atis in all departments, Yeah, in
all departments, including us. All right, this is a wedding,
and everything in this episode is surrounded by the wedding.
It is about the wedding, it's for the wedding, it's
(07:57):
it's all all about it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But it's also so mostly just about Coolidge. Well, this
episode really is just a vehicle for Jennifer Coolidge to
grace us with their comedic prowess.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And Ken's toast.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
So weird and so good.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The humor, I don't even know where to start or
to be with the humor of what Ken normally does.
So it's it's like a next level. It's it's elevated
beyond elevation, and Gen's is like elevated just below elevation,
(08:46):
and Glee's is just below their tears, So they stick
out in the best way because of who they are
and what they've brought to stage, screen and us in
life prior to Lee.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yes, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I just felt like I needed to break that down.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Say it, Jenna.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But Jennifer Coolidge, well, let's talk about the opening of
this before we get into the storylines. Because the opening
of this when you guys get into this ranch and
you're like, why are we in a barn? And Jennifer
Coolidge talking about when Brittany was born?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, I can I back it up just even a
little bit more than that, sure, because I would like,
I'm sure nobody cares about this, but I'm a co host,
so I'm gonna say what I want.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
The background like we're in a barn in a field,
and the background looks fake. It's like, you know, like
a hazy house. All of that was there. We were
shooting thirty forty five minutes away from Paramount up in
Santa Clarita, which is my second home. Basically that's where
I grew up in California, and so I was very
(10:08):
excited to shoot up there. And we were shooting on
a proper like film ranch. That's what it's called.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's the Disney. It's a Walt Disney Company ranch. Yeah,
it's called the Golden Oak Ranch.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And it was incredible and so cool to get to
film up there because it was so many acres of
like different settings. They had everything you can think of.
If you have seen the Lady Gaga nine one one
video that was also up there, that's in another sort
of like set thing that's built. So this was just
part of that ranch, and we're using the barn and
(10:46):
the house and so we were outside, you know, for days.
We were up there for like three.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Or four days when they released the Doves.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Oh God, the Doves, and it was freezing at night
and we'd be surrounding a heater. It also when I
somehow tweaked my ankle, you know, not even dancing walking,
and that's when Jennifer Coolidge was walking with me to
the porta potties and was like, well, you should probably
(11:17):
have you thought about suing Fox And I'm like yeah,
and she was like, well, your ankle's injured and also
you probably have back problems from sitting in that wheelchair
for six seasons. And I go, well, I actually do
have a back issue. I don't know what causes she's like, well,
I can be your lawyer. I was like, you could
(11:38):
do everything. She's like, yeah, I'll do it. I'll be
your lawyer a lawyer and something before Yes, she and
I were just like walking to the toilets and she
was like fully trying to convince me to sue Fox.
It's like, well, they, you know, paid me for the
past six years. I don't really know if that's the
you know it's true, because let me tell you, she
(12:03):
is one of my top five like comedic idols. Yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
This was really a win for me that she was
on this show over anybody else. Like, yes, we had Ken,
we had Gloria Stuck, like we had Gina Gershan, we
had everybody in this episode, but we really we had
Jennifer Coolidge. So to go back to what you were saying, well,
it also was raining, and she was her heels were
(12:33):
all of our heels were actually just sinking into the
dirt in the rand. But she like then decided just
to make a thing out of it, and like they're
shooting bureaul of us at the wedding and cocktail hour
before we go into the venue, and her heels she's like,
oh my heels are stuck and.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
She's I.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's so good. It's so good when you're watching genius
at work.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So this opening scene, oh my god. We shot it
first thing in the morning. It was so early, and
there were just us there that were in that scene, okay,
And it was one of those experiences where I really
was trying really hard to check myself to just be like,
you're in a scene with Gloria and Jennifer, right, like
(13:24):
this is crazy, yeah, yeah, yeah sure. And I had
dialogue in it, and so I was also very worried
about stepping on either of their lines and then also
breaking because obviously Coolidge was like improving a bit. She
was doing some bits and some of and it was
(13:45):
just also the magic of her was I couldn't tell
what was improv and what wasn't, Like I had to
go check, and a lot of it wasn't improv. She's
just so good that she makes it feel like she's
coming up with it on the spot, but I mean
she did, and her physical comedy is so good.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
When she's talking about Brittany being born in the barn,
she's like an it was your little head, and it's
just it's enjoy it's so enjoyable because it also it
makes so much sense as an extension from Brittany, like, yes,
(14:25):
this makes so much sense.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And it felt like that shooting it, it felt like,
oh this is this makes sense. Also, I would I
want to take everybody there right now. So if you
can think about what it feels like early in the morning,
you know, birds are chirping, it's a little cool outside,
and you're in an actual barn covered in hay, and
(14:50):
you're in the mountains and it is silent, and there
is Jennifer Coolidge and acting a birth for feet in
front of you, and the dead silence of the mountains
at like seven am.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Oh wow, it.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Was such a ser like I wanted to laugh, We
all wanted to laugh, but also because it was so quiet,
it felt so inappropriate to laugh. And there she is
giving you her all like it deserves to be laughed at.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yes it does.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I don't know how she does it, but like to
do that in silence, and they keep going and to
keep pushing it. It was cinema.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Cinema, I true. I mean, what a gift, What a gift,
What a way to open this episode? What a way? Yeah,
and what a joy to be able to be there
for that, I'm I'm actually very envious at that moment.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I was very, very very grateful.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So so Brittany and Santana are getting married, and they're
getting married in the barn, and already is the wedding planner.
That's why you're there with them. And for no reason,
all the parents are involved. We have Santana's mom and
we have Brittany's mom, and basically we're everybody's involved, right,
(16:15):
So the glee club, the girls are helping with the
dress situation.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You're also helping put the barn together. There's a whole
thing where like very quickly, you know, Tina's complaining about
helping dress or she is, Hey, bails. But everybody's there,
Sugar's there, the new kids are there. Also, how did
the new kids get an invite to this?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Well, they were invited to Will Schuster's house.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So yeah, they just wanted to use them for manual labor.
Clearly pre manual labor.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I remember filming that barn thing. It was actually the
dead of night, so we were on the tail opposite
of you guys shooting them early morning hours. We were
like it was like eight thirty at night and it
was frigid. It was so cold, and it was like
on the fly we were filming that, like, I mean,
I think maybe we got three takes out of that
(17:05):
one because we were.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I remember everybody panicking, Yeah, because it took longer to
start up the set everything that morning.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I think we did the opening shot the next day,
so everything was like that was quick. So everything was
set up like that first move in day of setting
up all the equipment took obviously more times than they thought.
So we were and there was only I remember all
of us being crowded around like one heater. There was
like a trailer for all of us to hang out in,
(17:35):
but it was like sort of far.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Dad.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Do you remember the pictures of all we took when
we got in the same coats, Oh, you're right right.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It was like it's like one of those trailers that
use when you're on location and you have lunch in
the trailers. Yes, And so they set it up because
there's so many cast members that we had a lunch
trailer for our cast.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, but we didn't want to go there because, like
Jenna said, it was muddy and it would and it
was cold, so it would take like too long to
go and come back.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
They put us in rain boots for contacts, like because
it was so muddy that like we were in rain
boots in between takes instead of like slippers for our
for our like heels, took off our heels. You know,
everybody's helping, Yes, yes, everybody's helping. And the new direction
new new new directions are there. Everybody's kind of like
(18:28):
being used as ponds, and as is Tina.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And there's a couple of big things happening here. Brittany
is spiraling. She's feeling the obvious and understandable tensions and
anxiety about getting married. Everything needs to be perfect. She's
becoming like increasingly superstitious. And then Santana is fine, but
(18:51):
Santana has an issue of making sure that Sue is
not invited, and so we have like these two next
sections is basically of the wedding planning phase, which seems
like it happens all within twenty four hours. I mean,
we're just going to suspend time here and pretend none
of it. It's not a flat line, you know, right,
(19:13):
Like it's it's existing and whatever structure it exists, it's
an existential question and we're not smart enough to figure
that out.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
No, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So there's the seating arrangement thing happening, and that's where
Santana sees that Sue has a chair and she's like,
that's not happening and flips out about it, and they're
all like, whoa, Britney's I understand Britney's side of it,
of like, the reason why we know each other is
because we both got put on the cheerios.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Sanna says, if she shows up, I'm not showing up.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
She even goes as far to call her a biach.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah. I was like, whoa, yeah, And she goes to
Sue to personally tell her she is not allowed and
here's why, and Sue sits there and takes it and
looks sad.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You know, I have to say, it's been weird. Sue's
been weird, but she has been really supportive of coach
Beast mm hmmm. She weirdly wants Blaine and Kurt back together,
and she got that, she did. She still has her
you know, she wants to take down the glee club
(20:27):
obviously and her little things about it, but like, you know,
that hasn't her motives haven't changed there, but there's a
there's a heart coming out of Sue that we haven't
seen before.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It feels like as the kids are maturing, Like even
the way Santana is confrontational with Sue feels more adult
her high school days. That they're all growing together even
though Sue's older.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yes, then the kids everything, Yes, like she's yea.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
And what that ends up being like one of the
best moments of the episode because Sue does show up
to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
But she's just gonna change her too.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But she shows up with Bila, and it's really sweet
and hilarious because we get like a really incredible classical
glee like whip flashback. I feel like we haven't been
getting enough of lately.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, we haven't gotten any.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
And she calls her miss Abila. I she used reversed
psychology on her, that's all. No, I mean it. It's
in the episode.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Oh I miss that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I'm not smart enough to come up that I was like,
And it's this really beautiful moment. And Abuela, you know,
still hasn't come around necessarily to the concept of gay marriage,
but she loves her granddaughter and wants to be there
and not missus State, you know, and all of that
tied into the you know, the debate, the Supreme Court case,
(22:22):
all that. At the time, I thought that was important
that that was represented in this episode.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yes, And I like the way that Santana says, like
She's like, you know, a Boila is like, I don't
you know, agree with some of the things you believe
in or whatever in Santana like right back at her,
is like, well, I don't believe in some of the
things you believe in. I'm like, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I think at the time, you know, the show was teaching,
as we've learned from talking to fans and different people
that were on the show. People watched the show with
their families, right, all different demographics, backgrounds, right, And it
was a way for people to see into different people's
lives something that they're not normally exposed to, and show
(23:10):
them how they can be accepting of these things even
if they don't necessarily understand them or don't agree with it.
And I thought it was a really nice way without
really hitting you over the head, respecting one another's opinions
in that way.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Sure, and then you know what, four months later, it's legalized,
I mean finger on the Pulse.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The show has been in a position like from day
one to we were due, like you were, like the groundbreaking.
And I get why Ryan wanted to have two weddings
or just have more gay weddings, right, because the show
from the first episode, when you have characters like Kurt
and then characters you know that come later Santana and
(24:01):
Brittany and Blaine. Right to show America on a network
television show. Yeah, and some of that was played by
It was an eighteen year old playing it like a
real team, playing a gay team that just never happened,
that did not happen at all, right, And to be
(24:22):
able to give that happy ending for the series for
that character, yes, was I think really important. And I
understand why Ryan did it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah, I mean I think there was an over arching
question of like why didn't they get their own wedding
or why didn't they we do two weddings. It kind
of like washed over one, and you know I did
diluted them both, you know, in some ways. But like
I actually think it was really sweet the way Brittany
(24:54):
proposed it, and it was also like to your point,
let's just celebrate it all. Let's put it all out there.
They deserve to be celebrated, they deserve the happy ending.
And as Ryan has mentioned before, which I always think about,
is like when he was alluding to not alerding, he
(25:15):
was referring to Kurt and Bert's relationship about how to
see a positive relationship with a young man who's coming
out right and kind of on that journey navigating that time, Like,
I think we deserve to also see this.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah, and I agree, I agree with all of it.
I think they each should have had their own moments,
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I mean I agree with seeing both of them get married.
It's so we had thirteen episodes, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
If there's twenty two, maybe we would have gotten it.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Ye. I was like a classic white gay showing up
to steal this, the steal the thunder of.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
The lesbian also budget right, but also.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Everyone just like rolled with it, so we didn't even
get to it. What happens in a scene here is
that Sue calls Curt and Blaine over there's a Britanna emergency,
and obviously, you know there's some hilarity equips about being
stuck and stuck in an elevator again and Brittany proposes
(26:24):
that they get married with them, and it does seem
a little surprising and it seems a little out of character,
I would say, kind and Santana like pops out and
says that she agrees with the two and it obviously
had to come from them. It's their day, so like
they're co saying it. I just I was like, yeah,
(26:48):
it was surprising that it was happening, but the moment
itself was really sweet.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It was and like just like the Kurt Blaine of
it all, like the way that you see Chris kind
of like approach this, and it's like, you don't know
if Kurt's going to be like completely absolutely, like absolutely not.
You don't know if he's excited. You don't know if
(27:13):
he wants to, but he doesn't. Like it was so
nuanced that I was like, what's gonna happen? And obviously yeah,
but like it was really nice the way they played it,
and it was really sweet and you could see what
they were thinking, like without really you know, having them
having to say anything. It's like, yeah, we deserve this,
(27:35):
We've gotten this far, We've been through so much, Like
why not.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Well, and this is all like, the reason why Blaine
comes around to it first, or at least verbalizes it first,
is because that really sweet conversation with Burton Carroll about
how important it is to like not waste any time
with the person that you love and find them and
to grab it. And so you already have his blessing
(28:03):
and he's going to be officiating the wedding, and so
I think Bert has always been sort of a north
star in that way for everyone on the show, and
so if he is sort of if he's saying, look,
I'm not going to judge you. I would do the
same thing. I've done the same thing and it worked out.
(28:23):
And I think that's really sweet for Blaine to use
Kurt's dad's words in that moment, for him to hear
it remind him, and so they agreed to it. The
other thing that's happening is Brittany freaking out, which is
really fun, really fun because we don't really see her
freak out.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Now. Only in season five do we start to see that. Yeah,
I like this. I like this whole superstitious thing about
seeing the wedding the dresses. It's funny because when you
get married or you see a lot of friends getting
married eat around you in like a very specific time
in your life. There's like a lot of people who
(29:05):
get married around the same time, and you don't know
about these people until or like what kind of bride
they're going to be, until you're it. And so I
think there's a fun element, whether they were intending to
do this or not, of like seeing how people take
(29:25):
to these age old superstitions and and traditions, these traditions
and things that like you're not supposed to sleep with
your the person your partner the night before, and you're
not supposed to see the in the mint a dress
before and like you're supposed to wear this blue and
like all the stuff. That's like, yeah, I like tradition
(29:46):
some of it, but I also like, as we've said,
like after tradition, we don't do that. Like so I
liked seeing Brittany go the other way a little.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Bit, yeah, and her grabbing all the superstitions, like she
didn't care where it was from, she just it was
all of them. Did you enjoy doing like the bridle
shop stuff? Oh, we had that. That looked so much fun.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
It was so much fun. It was well, we had
done this before, with Rachel's wedding and never got seen.
It got caught, and so we kept choking. We're like,
this is gonna get cut. But it was even better
this time around with her two girls in dresses, like
coming back and forth, so there's more like a plateful
(30:41):
element of like, say, yes, the dress, but there's two
of them, and how there's dresses. We're so ridiculous that
we had a grandle time watching them, like the light
up one and so good, it's so funny, and all
(31:05):
the different ones than I had on. It was just
like it was girls being girls. We were playing, we
had it was easy. We were just there to like hang.
We also hadn't all been together like that in a while,
like the ogs, so that was really sweet and fun
to see everybody and just be with them for the morning.
And I remember I remember more of Heather's dresses than
(31:32):
I did of Naya's. Maybe we shot more fathers to
be honest, because she probably ones and yeah, weird trains
and things like that. But yeah, that was like the
whole episode overall. I remember more behind the scenes hangs
(31:52):
than I do remember filming.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I think also because there was so much set
up and a lot of these things that there was
a lot of downtime where we weren't actually shooting.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I don't feel like I shot at all now.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Like you said, everything felt like it was on the fly.
It was we didn't have time to like cover Normally
we're in the choir room, you're like doing a billion
takes because you're doing it. We're just it takes solely
on each person.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
There's just so much to cover, and just saying, like
I remember when we had the Moms in the Troubletones
filming and I remember like just seeing the rehearsal, like
I have a video of them doing the rehearsal, and
then obviously like being there in the corner, but like
I don't think I filmed more than five minutes for
that scene, like just watching them perform.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I do remember like dying watching Vanessa. I distinctly remember
watching rehearsal and her doing that and we were all
we shouting.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yes, she is insane, and like even when she's just
dancing by herself, like yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Like it's so good in the room because like obviously
they choreographed these things for the entire number and you're
seeing it cut up. But if you just watched her
that entire like her track for the entire song, it was.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
The show She's it's the sugar monos and off is
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Like, it was so much fun. And also I felt
like we were getting to watch Gloria like an icon
perform and also do a number with Jennifer Coolidge, which crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
And all of them. Romy Is like up there, She's
like are you kidding me? Right now? She's so much
there was It was really really really fun.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Speaking of romy M, So we had that trailer we
all hung out in, and Romie, per tradition of weddings,
brought some tequila, yes and yes cold nights and so
we just had it warm up with a little.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Tequila, just a sip.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Which we shouldn't have to do. Nobody was drunk, no no, no,
no no, but this is a sip.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Also, we were waiting for hours, so even if people
did get a little tipsy, we sobered up before we
had to work.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, it was really not I mean who worked.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Nobody worked, it was and watch it. Yeah, all of
it felt so silly.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
We were hanging out in those in that trailer, and
Romie also brought a sleeping bags, like like a robe
sleeping bag because it was so cold that she was like,
let me bring this like sleeping bag thing, and everybody
decided to like try it on and get in it.
And then Vanessa was like, you guys could get in
it together, and so she zipped us up in it,
(34:51):
but we couldn't get it all the way up, huh.
And we also for that we fell.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, we fell. We were losing it.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
We were really losing it at this point, and everybody's
hanging out and we were just all I think it
was lunchtime, to be honest, And it was such a
fun time to have like old and new all day. Yeah,
like from the beginning OG's all the way until the newbies,
Like it was really cool. It was a really fun time.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
It's also like weird, like walking into the Crafty truck
and then Gina Gershaan is there like making a sandwich
and I was like, what is so weird? I'm like hi.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Also, you performed a lot of songs in this episode.
I remember like seeing you behind like also off camera
but on camera, like we were never together because you're
always up on the state. You were just like you
may as well have gotten married.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Believe if Already's going to plant this wedding, he will
be a focus of the wedding.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
You were in every number.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
You know, what's a travesty is not hearing Noah do
at last with Amber instead of me.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Oh, I would have liked that. But I will say,
you guys sounded great like you sounded great.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
It's just it was held a record. Was really such
an unenjoyable experience because it is such a hard song
to sing, a song that Amber should be doing by herself.
And Luke is an incredible singer. As I've said, he's
(36:38):
much better than I am. He has the range I
do not. It sat in the most uncomfortable part of
my voice. Oh god, and it was really discouraging. It was.
It was so hard to get through. But I mean,
I love listening to you now.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, great number.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
They make me sound great.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
But also hey yah, how is hey ya? The studio
Hey y'ah.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Was one of those where I I knew the song
very very well. Obviously everybody does, and because you know,
Alex has a method to recording and is very specific
in particular that and he's right, But yeah, it was
(37:28):
tough to like it sounds like hundred thousands, just like
vibing through a lot of that song. And so it's
hard to like feel that or like give.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
That when you're trying technically it's so specific. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
for sure. That's the skill of recording, you know, in
the studio.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Yeah, so I thought it would be more fun to record.
But that also is not that great. But I again,
I like the I like the recording. I like it
last better. Feeling that number was fun because we were
just being stupid. And again, that felt really quick.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
I don't I actually don't remember that one. I don't
remember that.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Because it was really quick, so fast. Yeah, this is
very fast.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, this is like shoot it, get the coverage you need,
get the people you need to cover, and get out.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
And Beaker was an expert at yes, And this is why,
like you said, we only saw like the Moms and
the treble Tones shoot a couple times because if we normally,
if you're like off camera in the room, you stay
there even if the camera's not on you to give
the reactions to the other people. Because this was in
(38:38):
so much space and there were so many people, they
got all of us out of the room so they
could move as quickly as possible, so like we were
only in the room when we were.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
On camps on camera. That's right. That's why I don't
remember a lot of that either. Yeah, that's right. The
other thing that's happening is that with speaking of Carol
and Rummy, is that Rachel is worried about Carl and
Bert seeing them with Sam because obviously it's Finn's mom
and it's tough to show that she's moving on.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, as an understandable concern, and I yeah, I like
the way they're treating it's hard to say story behind
a Finn because we lost it's very much a real person, right,
But the way that it's sprinkled in, and every time
it's sprinkled in, it's a very gentle or gentle. It's
(39:34):
not overly dramatic, right, and not making light of it.
It's like a really like grounded way. And I really
respect how they did it, and it was respectful how
they did it.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yeah, I think also there's like part of it. These
feel like small moments and but in somebody's grief, like
they feel so large, right, they're huge milestones. They are
huge milestones, but things you don't think about unless you've
grand scrape, which most people have some yeah, you know, respect,
But like I think everything they've hand, if they've done,
(40:10):
they've just dropped in like you said, they've dropped in
little pieces to remind us of what Rachel's going through,
what we're all going through. What and then like also
mirroring that in real life. So it was really yea sweet.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
And that shot of them entering the dance floor across
from and Carol and.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Then Carol them being like, go ahead. It's just so
sweet and really well done, really really well done. The
other thing that's happening is that Tina is of course
feeling jealous without even really knowing it, and she decides
(40:50):
that she's going to gather her best boys, including Puck,
and reveal that she's going to propose to Mike and
at somebody else's wedding.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
I did not know this storyline was in this episode.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Oh true, Tiniform.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Because I remember this happening, but you see, this episode
to me is like the wedding, the wedding, and I
can't believe it is fit into this episode. Obviously, it
makes sense thematically, it makes perfect sense. For some reason,
I just didn't.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah, So Tina gathers everybody in the choir room and
Already is the only one that's like slightly skeptical. Obviously,
Blaine is in like lover's Land again, so he's like
all four it, and Puck is weirdly there and supportive
of it. It was hard to justify this, to be honest,
(41:52):
like in as Tina, like as an actor. M hmm,
because it like a little bit like we were now.
I don't hate this storyline. It ends up. I like
the where it ends up, but just proposing all of
these people getting married they're in high school or just
(42:14):
out of high school, Like I think now watching it
from our perspective as thirty real you know yearal people
like you're like, oh my god, why is everybody talking
about marriage? Although we were thinking about it at that time,
like in high school, like as a society, we are
built to everybody finds a partner and they get married
(42:37):
for life and that's it, you know what I mean,
And like there's a this is the pressure around that.
So the life plans in high school. I hope it's
not the same anymore. But I thought I was like
had my whole life planned out in my twenties. So
but it was hard to justify because Mike and Tina
had gone away for so long and like we hadn't
(42:59):
heard of their relationship for her to just be like
out of nowhere, like we reconnected and now I'm going
to propose. But it is kind of Tina, like for
her to do something like that a little.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
It felt natural Tina, because it's like a little reactionary,
I mean a lot.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Of reactionary yeah, impulsive yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
And the fact that like you don't really have a
relationship with Mike anymore, and you're like, well, because I
mean that thing of when everyone starts getting married or
everyone like it starts dating somebody or you feel it
and you're like, oh do I want that too? Right?
And so I understand that, but like to be doing
(43:38):
that at someone else's wedding, wild wild.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
And like I don't think I had the wherewithal to
realize that as a as Jenna like that you even
at that point, like you don't propose to somebody at
somebody else's weddy even though like you don't I don't think,
Like I was like, oh my god, but now and
then I watch it again, I'm like Tina. Yeah, thank god,
he said no.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
It's also one of those things that, like, you know,
when you go home, you like revert back to how
you were as a kid or as a teen or whatever,
and so it's sort of like Tina's probably one way
at Brown and she comes back and is around all
the same people and goes back to like taking up
the role that she was in that yeah, which was
cringe Tina oh Man.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
And she's also just fearful. I think she's fearful of
being alone forever. And so it actually ends up that
Mike says now and it's sweet. Yeah, it was again,
it was really fast.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
What was really fun was shooting the one. The scene
prior to that when she sees Mike for the first
time up in the rafters kind of above the wedding
and Puck is there and Mark was like throwing some
stupid poop and fart jokes at us like in yeah,
(44:59):
in between and it was making us laugh a lot,
And that was a really fun scene to shoot, and
Harry and I had a really great time shooting the
other one too. It just it was really fast, Like
I remember having to in my mind get this right,
justify it for myself, believe it, and then shoot it
all at the same time, yeah, which was like just
(45:21):
get there. But of course, like it was nice to
work with Harry again. And I just remember having a
really hard time with that storyline.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
It was my favorite.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
It feels really crazy.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
Yeah, And I couldn't couldn't ground myself in it, Like
I really just couldn't. I was like, I don't know
that I can get on board with this or whatever.
But it did lead us to the Artina Tarti scene
in the classroom, which is one of my favorite films
to one of my favorite scenes to film.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
I think it's my favorite scene we ever.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Did, agreed. I mean, we have some ones up there
that I loved filming, me too. But there was something
like very mature about this.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
It was very Jenna and Kevin. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And it felt like a really I was appreciative of it,
and I don't I'm appreciative of it now and I
was shortly after. I don't know if I realized at
the time, like what a good button it was for
us our experiences on the show totally, and it felt,
(46:26):
you know, a lot of the times our storylines were crazy,
Like in this episode, you had a crazy storyline. I
had that STD storyline a couple episodes ago, and so yeah,
it felt nice to have sort of a grounded, mature,
real conversation. Yeah, what is crazy is us saying we
get married when we were thirty?
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I move, I was. Yeah. I gagged a little bit
on that one.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Because how old are you when we were filming.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
This twenty nine, twenty nine, twenty eight or twenty nine?
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Yeah, but how old are you now?
Speaker 1 (47:06):
Thirty nine? Yeah, ten years ago. I was twenty eight
at the time, I was twenty eight because I turned
twenty nine and April. So yeah, that's crazy. That's also
like a lot of that packed is usually like by forty,
you make that pack, right, did you like anybody?
Speaker 2 (47:26):
You know?
Speaker 1 (47:26):
I did with a friend a long time ago, and
then I hit thirty something and got married. So it
didn't work out. Yeah I did. But also even forty
at this point, now you're like, it's not She's a
different world.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
I also think you know where we grew up. Most
people grow like in the.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
Suburbs married in their twenties.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, yeah, I just have how many friends you haven't
got married out of high school, like I have friends
who got bred out of high school.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
No college, college okay, but still thirty felt really close.
I'm sure we were saying that while we were filming
it too that I was like, okay, but for Ardentina
in their life, that felt like a long way like
a long way away. And yeah, I loved that scene.
Filming that scene is probably one of my favorites as well.
(48:16):
Also just because you have Brad Beeker there who like
comes in like whispers to you in between, like very calm.
He just he captured it so beautifully. It was just
honest and like it is a nice button. And uh yeah,
I really really loved that one.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Another really quick scene to shoot, and the key was
I'm noticing, you know in this episode there's a lot
of scenes with just two people or three people, and
that's what he could grab us shoot, get it and
get quickly and move on.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah. The wedding itself was very fast, like there was
a lot that happened there, but like the vows, we
were like fast the vows.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
No, my gusta no. Like these two couples have been
monumental for all of us.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
And we're splitting them them and then.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
They also just felt like why did all the good
conversations happen off the altar? Like, I don't know, I
felt like they could have m done some more meaningful vows,
and I also wanted Burt to like really lean into
his burtness, and it all felt because we didn't have time.
It all felt just really quick.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Yeah, agreed, agreed, let's crede some performances.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
Okay, at last, At last, I mean the performance is
sort of boring, but it's the aisle, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
A A hey, yeah, A A yeah, let's do a minus.
I'm so excited, A plus A plus. I was gonna
give it a day, but I'll give it a plus
and our day will come B B plus plus. Okay,
that was easy. Let's see some charty takes, uh cringe moments.
(50:17):
Gina Hershan playing drunk is very funny, so funny. I
was a little creeped out by her hang on Puck,
even though he guessed he was like a college kid
at that point. But I was like, mm, I don't know, yeah,
it doesn't seem I don't okay, I don't know. Yeah,
(50:37):
I didn't like it. Best dance move Benji's dance the
whole thing, best song at last, I'm okay with that right? Uh?
Performance by a prop, Oh, there's.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
A lot, you know, it was my least favorite prop.
What the ot P hats hated still hate with the
fiery rage?
Speaker 1 (51:07):
Where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (51:08):
It's it's from the internet, and it felt like old
people trying to get onto an internet trend. Did they
learned that there was.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Oh I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (51:17):
No, I hate that.
Speaker 1 (51:21):
I do like. Uh, the cutouts absolutely press, the seating chart.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
I love a miniature seating chart thing. Yeah, that was
really fun.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Best line, oh, easy, mine is you're blowing it and
you need to sit down because nobody's uglier than you
without your clothes on. Knock it off.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
Apparently I'm ugly with everybody's nobody's ugly. And this toaster comment,
this whole speech is just beyond Oh.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
That's what I wanted to say. What I do remember
filming and what didn't make it in They gave Ken
the opportunity and the time to really just go for it,
and he improved for his life, for his life, and
like those times were long and they were so good, they.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
Were really funny. I do remember that. Yeah, everybody was
just laughing. The other quote that I like is Whitney
in the Barn in the beginning Coolidge. So she's like
talking about the AMI's country and she's like I quickly
pulled down my pants and I squatted real low, and
usually I never looked, but it was just my lucky day.
(52:43):
I looked down and it turns out I was in
the labor in Brittany. It was you so good?
Speaker 2 (52:51):
You know what I did? I love Sash Hate was
in Sue's walking out and she's like, I've got to
come up with some new ship or fodder. Hmm, how
about Puck Sades, how's that? Or FABERI can't get enough
of the lesbians and it's like, don't get any more fuel.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
I know, I know, Live Love, prosper Performance, MVB.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
I think we just have I feel like the couples.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
The couples, yeah, just the squad, the quad, Yeah the quad? Wow. Okay,
well that's a wedding.
Speaker 2 (53:30):
I was. I'm sad it's over because I was really
looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
I know. It's just so many memories on that episode.
Speaker 2 (53:36):
Yeah, okay, should we found on TikTok Laurel C. Walls
posted some Coachella video. She said, Gleeks Never Die and
it's her at numerous performances and then them saying they

This week, February seventeenth, Glee The Music a Wedding the
EP was released. It featured four tracks from season sixth
episode eight and was released for digital DOLM only.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And you were right we alluded to a few minutes ago.
On February twenty first, the day after this episode aired,
the cast and crew wrapped production on the show's final episode,
six thirteen Dreams Come True, celebrating with a carnival at Paramount.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I mean there was a full band, there were games,
there were activities.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I feel like we should save the retelling of those
festivities for that recap.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Okay, it was really fun, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
No, no, no, don't say anymore, Jenna.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Oh I'm sorry. It was terrible. It was terrible.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, just have no opinion, okay, reined in.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Actually not talking, just dis directed by Brad Beaker and.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Written by Ross Maxwell. And then I had these special guests.
Of all special guests, I mean, it has Gina Gershaan,
Jennifer Coolidge, kin Jong, and Gloria Estefan. Like, are you
kidding me.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
When we came back to do this episode, I was like,
this is like the ultimate ultimate episode of my dreams.
All right, let's let's talk about the songs and we'll
get into the whole episode. So this has at last,
performed by Mercedes and Artie, and I'm just like, this
(03:19):
is the best number ever.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Oh my god, I don't know where you're going with that.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Oh yeah, best number ever?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Uh heyya. Performed by Artie and Jane and Madison.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I'm so excited. Performed by mothers Mother and the Trouble
Tones of.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Course, honestly, dream m h it's like big Trouble Tones. Yes,
that's right, and Our Day will Come performed by Kurt, Blaine,
Brittany and Santana mm okay uh.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
This episode includes the return of Sugar Mata after her
last appearance in season four episode twenty two, All or
Nothing and her unexplained departure. It's not right, unexplained return, It's.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Not right, no, not all. What a thrill to have
her back, I remember that very clearly.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yes, yes, definitely.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The pictures of Blaine and Kurt on Britney's suits are
from the season five photo shoot.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Of course, the press release for this episode listed Alex
Nouell starring as Unique, though with no evidence of Alex
be on set and Unique not appearing in the episode,
this was thought to be a mistake. However, scription from
the episode revealed that Unique was actually supposed to be
at the wedding, but subsequently do cut due to Alex
(04:44):
being unable to film. So Alex was booked and busy.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Good for Alex. Santana and Brittany try on wedding dresses
and the same bridle shop that Emma didn't mashup in
the first season. Yes, which I appreciate because it's a
small town. They would all be going to the same place.
But it feels like it would be a very Glee
thing for it to be a different one. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
This is the second time Mercedi sings at a wedding.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Okay, so this is my favorite fun fact.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
This episode aired four months before the US Supreme Court's
landmark ruling on same sex marriage, so it gets I
was having this conversation with somebody in London yesterday when
it was legalized. This confirms it. On June twenty sixth,
twenty fifteen, the Court issued its five four decision in
Obergerfeld versus Hodges making marriage equality the law of the
(05:40):
land in all fifty states.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Wow, it is crazy though that this was a decade ago. Wow,
only a decade ago, And how insane. One of my
favorite things about this episode, and not because I love
it the opposite in fact that you had to and
you know, they reference it in the show about you
had to cross state lines to get married, Like it
(06:06):
makes a difference, Like it's so insane, and to me
it ages and dates the show in a way that
nothing else does. Obviously the show is dated in some
other ways, but like it has to me, it feels like,
you know, same sex marriage has been legalized for so
(06:27):
much longer, in a decade, inconceivable in my head. But
that's all that that is. That is yeah, crazy, It's
really crazy, and I I like, regardless of how people feel,
and we will talk about this, about this episode and
about you know, the two couples getting married at the
(06:50):
same time. I think that was important, the thing about
having two gay weddings on national TV and saying how
they had to drive out of their home state, born
and raised to go to a neighboring state to have
a wedding.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Right is insanity? Is insanity just to get married like that? Ridiculous?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So the official episode summary Jenna, the members of the
New Directions are busy at work, planning, planning, and planning,
while Sue encourages everyone to follow their hearts. I don't.
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
People are getting senior atis in all departments, Yeah, in
all departments, including us. All right, this is a wedding,
and everything in this episode is surrounded by the wedding.
It is about the wedding, it's for the wedding, it's
(07:57):
it's all all about it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But it's also so mostly just about Coolidge. Well, this
episode really is just a vehicle for Jennifer Coolidge to
grace us with their comedic prowess.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And Ken's toast.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
So weird and so good.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The humor, I don't even know where to start or
to be with the humor of what Ken normally does.
So it's it's like a next level. It's it's elevated
beyond elevation, and Gen's is like elevated just below elevation,
(08:46):
and Glee's is just below their tears, So they stick
out in the best way because of who they are
and what they've brought to stage, screen and us in
life prior to Lee.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yes, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I just felt like I needed to break that down.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Say it, Jenna.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But Jennifer Coolidge, well, let's talk about the opening of
this before we get into the storylines. Because the opening
of this when you guys get into this ranch and
you're like, why are we in a barn? And Jennifer
Coolidge talking about when Brittany was born?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, I can I back it up just even a
little bit more than that, sure, because I would like,
I'm sure nobody cares about this, but I'm a co host,
so I'm gonna say what I want.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
The background like we're in a barn in a field,
and the background looks fake. It's like, you know, like
a hazy house. All of that was there. We were
shooting thirty forty five minutes away from Paramount up in
Santa Clarita, which is my second home. Basically that's where
I grew up in California, and so I was very
(10:08):
excited to shoot up there. And we were shooting on
a proper like film ranch. That's what it's called.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's the Disney. It's a Walt Disney Company ranch. Yeah,
it's called the Golden Oak Ranch.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And it was incredible and so cool to get to
film up there because it was so many acres of
like different settings. They had everything you can think of.
If you have seen the Lady Gaga nine one one
video that was also up there, that's in another sort
of like set thing that's built. So this was just
part of that ranch, and we're using the barn and
(10:46):
the house and so we were outside, you know, for days.
We were up there for like three.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Or four days when they released the Doves.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Oh God, the Doves, and it was freezing at night
and we'd be surrounding a heater. It also when I
somehow tweaked my ankle, you know, not even dancing walking,
and that's when Jennifer Coolidge was walking with me to
the porta potties and was like, well, you should probably
(11:17):
have you thought about suing Fox And I'm like yeah,
and she was like, well, your ankle's injured and also
you probably have back problems from sitting in that wheelchair
for six seasons. And I go, well, I actually do
have a back issue. I don't know what causes she's like, well,
I can be your lawyer. I was like, you could
(11:38):
do everything. She's like, yeah, I'll do it. I'll be
your lawyer a lawyer and something before Yes, she and
I were just like walking to the toilets and she
was like fully trying to convince me to sue Fox.
It's like, well, they, you know, paid me for the
past six years. I don't really know if that's the
you know it's true, because let me tell you, she
(12:03):
is one of my top five like comedic idols. Yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
This was really a win for me that she was
on this show over anybody else. Like, yes, we had Ken,
we had Gloria Stuck, like we had Gina Gershan, we
had everybody in this episode, but we really we had
Jennifer Coolidge. So to go back to what you were saying, well,
it also was raining, and she was her heels were
(12:33):
all of our heels were actually just sinking into the
dirt in the rand. But she like then decided just
to make a thing out of it, and like they're
shooting bureaul of us at the wedding and cocktail hour
before we go into the venue, and her heels she's like,
oh my heels are stuck and.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
She's I.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's so good. It's so good when you're watching genius
at work.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So this opening scene, oh my god. We shot it
first thing in the morning. It was so early, and
there were just us there that were in that scene, okay,
And it was one of those experiences where I really
was trying really hard to check myself to just be like,
you're in a scene with Gloria and Jennifer, right, like
(13:24):
this is crazy, yeah, yeah, yeah sure. And I had
dialogue in it, and so I was also very worried
about stepping on either of their lines and then also
breaking because obviously Coolidge was like improving a bit. She
was doing some bits and some of and it was
(13:45):
just also the magic of her was I couldn't tell
what was improv and what wasn't, Like I had to
go check, and a lot of it wasn't improv. She's
just so good that she makes it feel like she's
coming up with it on the spot, but I mean
she did, and her physical comedy is so good.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
When she's talking about Brittany being born in the barn,
she's like an it was your little head, and it's
just it's enjoy it's so enjoyable because it also it
makes so much sense as an extension from Brittany, like, yes,
(14:25):
this makes so much sense.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And it felt like that shooting it, it felt like,
oh this is this makes sense. Also, I would I
want to take everybody there right now. So if you
can think about what it feels like early in the morning,
you know, birds are chirping, it's a little cool outside,
and you're in an actual barn covered in hay, and
(14:50):
you're in the mountains and it is silent, and there
is Jennifer Coolidge and acting a birth for feet in
front of you, and the dead silence of the mountains
at like seven am.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Oh wow, it.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Was such a ser like I wanted to laugh, We
all wanted to laugh, but also because it was so quiet,
it felt so inappropriate to laugh. And there she is
giving you her all like it deserves to be laughed at.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yes it does.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I don't know how she does it, but like to
do that in silence, and they keep going and to
keep pushing it. It was cinema.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Cinema, I true. I mean, what a gift, What a gift,
What a way to open this episode? What a way? Yeah,
and what a joy to be able to be there
for that, I'm I'm actually very envious at that moment.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I was very, very very grateful.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So so Brittany and Santana are getting married, and they're
getting married in the barn, and already is the wedding planner.
That's why you're there with them. And for no reason,
all the parents are involved. We have Santana's mom and
we have Brittany's mom, and basically we're everybody's involved, right,
(16:15):
So the glee club, the girls are helping with the
dress situation.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You're also helping put the barn together. There's a whole
thing where like very quickly, you know, Tina's complaining about
helping dress or she is, Hey, bails. But everybody's there,
Sugar's there, the new kids are there. Also, how did
the new kids get an invite to this?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Well, they were invited to Will Schuster's house.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So yeah, they just wanted to use them for manual labor.
Clearly pre manual labor.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I remember filming that barn thing. It was actually the
dead of night, so we were on the tail opposite
of you guys shooting them early morning hours. We were
like it was like eight thirty at night and it
was frigid. It was so cold, and it was like
on the fly we were filming that, like, I mean,
I think maybe we got three takes out of that
(17:05):
one because we were.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I remember everybody panicking, Yeah, because it took longer to
start up the set everything that morning.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I think we did the opening shot the next day,
so everything was like that was quick. So everything was
set up like that first move in day of setting
up all the equipment took obviously more times than they thought.
So we were and there was only I remember all
of us being crowded around like one heater. There was
like a trailer for all of us to hang out in,
(17:35):
but it was like sort of far.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Dad.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Do you remember the pictures of all we took when
we got in the same coats, Oh, you're right right.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It was like it's like one of those trailers that
use when you're on location and you have lunch in
the trailers. Yes, And so they set it up because
there's so many cast members that we had a lunch
trailer for our cast.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, but we didn't want to go there because, like
Jenna said, it was muddy and it would and it
was cold, so it would take like too long to
go and come back.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
They put us in rain boots for contacts, like because
it was so muddy that like we were in rain
boots in between takes instead of like slippers for our
for our like heels, took off our heels. You know,
everybody's helping, Yes, yes, everybody's helping. And the new direction
new new new directions are there. Everybody's kind of like
(18:28):
being used as ponds, and as is Tina.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And there's a couple of big things happening here. Brittany
is spiraling. She's feeling the obvious and understandable tensions and
anxiety about getting married. Everything needs to be perfect. She's
becoming like increasingly superstitious. And then Santana is fine, but
(18:51):
Santana has an issue of making sure that Sue is
not invited, and so we have like these two next
sections is basically of the wedding planning phase, which seems
like it happens all within twenty four hours. I mean,
we're just going to suspend time here and pretend none
of it. It's not a flat line, you know, right,
(19:13):
Like it's it's existing and whatever structure it exists, it's
an existential question and we're not smart enough to figure
that out.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
No, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So there's the seating arrangement thing happening, and that's where
Santana sees that Sue has a chair and she's like,
that's not happening and flips out about it, and they're
all like, whoa, Britney's I understand Britney's side of it,
of like, the reason why we know each other is
because we both got put on the cheerios.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Sanna says, if she shows up, I'm not showing up.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
She even goes as far to call her a biach.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah. I was like, whoa, yeah, And she goes to
Sue to personally tell her she is not allowed and
here's why, and Sue sits there and takes it and
looks sad.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You know, I have to say, it's been weird. Sue's
been weird, but she has been really supportive of coach
Beast mm hmmm. She weirdly wants Blaine and Kurt back together,
and she got that, she did. She still has her
you know, she wants to take down the glee club
(20:27):
obviously and her little things about it, but like, you know,
that hasn't her motives haven't changed there, but there's a
there's a heart coming out of Sue that we haven't
seen before.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It feels like as the kids are maturing, Like even
the way Santana is confrontational with Sue feels more adult
her high school days. That they're all growing together even
though Sue's older.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yes, then the kids everything, Yes, like she's yea.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
And what that ends up being like one of the
best moments of the episode because Sue does show up
to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
But she's just gonna change her too.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
But she shows up with Bila, and it's really sweet
and hilarious because we get like a really incredible classical
glee like whip flashback. I feel like we haven't been
getting enough of lately.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, we haven't gotten any.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
And she calls her miss Abila. I she used reversed
psychology on her, that's all. No, I mean it. It's
in the episode.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Oh I miss that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I'm not smart enough to come up that I was like,
And it's this really beautiful moment. And Abuela, you know,
still hasn't come around necessarily to the concept of gay marriage,
but she loves her granddaughter and wants to be there
and not missus State, you know, and all of that
tied into the you know, the debate, the Supreme Court case,
(22:22):
all that. At the time, I thought that was important
that that was represented in this episode.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yes, And I like the way that Santana says, like
She's like, you know, a Boila is like, I don't
you know, agree with some of the things you believe
in or whatever in Santana like right back at her,
is like, well, I don't believe in some of the
things you believe in. I'm like, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I think at the time, you know, the show was teaching,
as we've learned from talking to fans and different people
that were on the show. People watched the show with
their families, right, all different demographics, backgrounds, right, And it
was a way for people to see into different people's
lives something that they're not normally exposed to, and show
(23:10):
them how they can be accepting of these things even
if they don't necessarily understand them or don't agree with it.
And I thought it was a really nice way without
really hitting you over the head, respecting one another's opinions
in that way.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Sure, and then you know what, four months later, it's legalized,
I mean finger on the Pulse.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The show has been in a position like from day
one to we were due, like you were, like the groundbreaking.
And I get why Ryan wanted to have two weddings
or just have more gay weddings, right, because the show
from the first episode, when you have characters like Kurt
and then characters you know that come later Santana and
(24:01):
Brittany and Blaine. Right to show America on a network
television show. Yeah, and some of that was played by
It was an eighteen year old playing it like a
real team, playing a gay team that just never happened,
that did not happen at all, right, And to be
(24:22):
able to give that happy ending for the series for
that character, yes, was I think really important. And I
understand why Ryan did it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah, I mean I think there was an over arching
question of like why didn't they get their own wedding
or why didn't they we do two weddings. It kind
of like washed over one, and you know I did
diluted them both, you know, in some ways. But like
I actually think it was really sweet the way Brittany
(24:54):
proposed it, and it was also like to your point,
let's just celebrate it all. Let's put it all out there.
They deserve to be celebrated, they deserve the happy ending.
And as Ryan has mentioned before, which I always think about,
is like when he was alluding to not alerding, he
(25:15):
was referring to Kurt and Bert's relationship about how to
see a positive relationship with a young man who's coming
out right and kind of on that journey navigating that time, Like,
I think we deserve to also see this.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah, and I agree, I agree with all of it.
I think they each should have had their own moments,
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I mean I agree with seeing both of them get married.
It's so we had thirteen episodes, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
If there's twenty two, maybe we would have gotten it.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Ye. I was like a classic white gay showing up
to steal this, the steal the thunder of.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
The lesbian also budget right, but also.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Everyone just like rolled with it, so we didn't even
get to it. What happens in a scene here is
that Sue calls Curt and Blaine over there's a Britanna emergency,
and obviously, you know there's some hilarity equips about being
stuck and stuck in an elevator again and Brittany proposes
(26:24):
that they get married with them, and it does seem
a little surprising and it seems a little out of character,
I would say, kind and Santana like pops out and
says that she agrees with the two and it obviously
had to come from them. It's their day, so like
they're co saying it. I just I was like, yeah,
(26:48):
it was surprising that it was happening, but the moment
itself was really sweet.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It was and like just like the Kurt Blaine of
it all, like the way that you see Chris kind
of like approach this, and it's like, you don't know
if Kurt's going to be like completely absolutely, like absolutely not.
You don't know if he's excited. You don't know if
(27:13):
he wants to, but he doesn't. Like it was so
nuanced that I was like, what's gonna happen? And obviously yeah,
but like it was really nice the way they played it,
and it was really sweet and you could see what
they were thinking, like without really you know, having them
having to say anything. It's like, yeah, we deserve this,
(27:35):
We've gotten this far, We've been through so much, Like
why not.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Well, and this is all like, the reason why Blaine
comes around to it first, or at least verbalizes it first,
is because that really sweet conversation with Burton Carroll about
how important it is to like not waste any time
with the person that you love and find them and
to grab it. And so you already have his blessing
(28:03):
and he's going to be officiating the wedding, and so
I think Bert has always been sort of a north
star in that way for everyone on the show, and
so if he is sort of if he's saying, look,
I'm not going to judge you. I would do the
same thing. I've done the same thing and it worked out.
(28:23):
And I think that's really sweet for Blaine to use
Kurt's dad's words in that moment, for him to hear
it remind him, and so they agreed to it. The
other thing that's happening is Brittany freaking out, which is
really fun, really fun because we don't really see her
freak out.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Now. Only in season five do we start to see that. Yeah,
I like this. I like this whole superstitious thing about
seeing the wedding the dresses. It's funny because when you
get married or you see a lot of friends getting
married eat around you in like a very specific time
in your life. There's like a lot of people who
(29:05):
get married around the same time, and you don't know
about these people until or like what kind of bride
they're going to be, until you're it. And so I
think there's a fun element, whether they were intending to
do this or not, of like seeing how people take
(29:25):
to these age old superstitions and and traditions, these traditions
and things that like you're not supposed to sleep with
your the person your partner the night before, and you're
not supposed to see the in the mint a dress
before and like you're supposed to wear this blue and
like all the stuff. That's like, yeah, I like tradition
(29:46):
some of it, but I also like, as we've said,
like after tradition, we don't do that. Like so I
liked seeing Brittany go the other way a little.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Bit, yeah, and her grabbing all the superstitions, like she
didn't care where it was from, she just it was
all of them. Did you enjoy doing like the bridle
shop stuff? Oh, we had that. That looked so much fun.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
It was so much fun. It was well, we had
done this before, with Rachel's wedding and never got seen.
It got caught, and so we kept choking. We're like,
this is gonna get cut. But it was even better
this time around with her two girls in dresses, like
coming back and forth, so there's more like a plateful
(30:41):
element of like, say, yes, the dress, but there's two
of them, and how there's dresses. We're so ridiculous that
we had a grandle time watching them, like the light
up one and so good, it's so funny, and all
(31:05):
the different ones than I had on. It was just
like it was girls being girls. We were playing, we
had it was easy. We were just there to like hang.
We also hadn't all been together like that in a while,
like the ogs, so that was really sweet and fun
to see everybody and just be with them for the morning.
And I remember I remember more of Heather's dresses than
(31:32):
I did of Naya's. Maybe we shot more fathers to
be honest, because she probably ones and yeah, weird trains
and things like that. But yeah, that was like the
whole episode overall. I remember more behind the scenes hangs
(31:52):
than I do remember filming.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I think also because there was so much set
up and a lot of these things that there was
a lot of downtime where we weren't actually shooting.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I don't feel like I shot at all now.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Like you said, everything felt like it was on the fly.
It was we didn't have time to like cover Normally
we're in the choir room, you're like doing a billion
takes because you're doing it. We're just it takes solely
on each person.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
There's just so much to cover, and just saying, like
I remember when we had the Moms in the Troubletones
filming and I remember like just seeing the rehearsal, like
I have a video of them doing the rehearsal, and
then obviously like being there in the corner, but like
I don't think I filmed more than five minutes for
that scene, like just watching them perform.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I do remember like dying watching Vanessa. I distinctly remember
watching rehearsal and her doing that and we were all
we shouting.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yes, she is insane, and like even when she's just
dancing by herself, like yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Like it's so good in the room because like obviously
they choreographed these things for the entire number and you're
seeing it cut up. But if you just watched her
that entire like her track for the entire song, it was.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
The show She's it's the sugar monos and off is
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Like, it was so much fun. And also I felt
like we were getting to watch Gloria like an icon
perform and also do a number with Jennifer Coolidge, which crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
And all of them. Romy Is like up there, She's
like are you kidding me? Right now? She's so much
there was It was really really really fun.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Speaking of romy M, So we had that trailer we
all hung out in, and Romie, per tradition of weddings,
brought some tequila, yes and yes cold nights and so
we just had it warm up with a little.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Tequila, just a sip.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Which we shouldn't have to do. Nobody was drunk, no no, no,
no no, but this is a sip.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Also, we were waiting for hours, so even if people
did get a little tipsy, we sobered up before we
had to work.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, it was really not I mean who worked.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Nobody worked, it was and watch it. Yeah, all of
it felt so silly.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
We were hanging out in those in that trailer, and
Romie also brought a sleeping bags, like like a robe
sleeping bag because it was so cold that she was like,
let me bring this like sleeping bag thing, and everybody
decided to like try it on and get in it.
And then Vanessa was like, you guys could get in
it together, and so she zipped us up in it,
(34:51):
but we couldn't get it all the way up, huh.
And we also for that we fell.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, we fell. We were losing it.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
We were really losing it at this point, and everybody's
hanging out and we were just all I think it
was lunchtime, to be honest, And it was such a
fun time to have like old and new all day. Yeah,
like from the beginning OG's all the way until the newbies,
Like it was really cool. It was a really fun time.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
It's also like weird, like walking into the Crafty truck
and then Gina Gershaan is there like making a sandwich
and I was like, what is so weird? I'm like hi.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Also, you performed a lot of songs in this episode.
I remember like seeing you behind like also off camera
but on camera, like we were never together because you're
always up on the state. You were just like you
may as well have gotten married.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Believe if Already's going to plant this wedding, he will
be a focus of the wedding.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
You were in every number.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
You know, what's a travesty is not hearing Noah do
at last with Amber instead of me.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Oh, I would have liked that. But I will say,
you guys sounded great like you sounded great.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
It's just it was held a record. Was really such
an unenjoyable experience because it is such a hard song
to sing, a song that Amber should be doing by herself.
And Luke is an incredible singer. As I've said, he's
(36:38):
much better than I am. He has the range I
do not. It sat in the most uncomfortable part of
my voice. Oh god, and it was really discouraging. It was.
It was so hard to get through. But I mean,
I love listening to you now.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, great number.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
They make me sound great.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
But also hey yah, how is hey ya? The studio
Hey y'ah.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Was one of those where I I knew the song
very very well. Obviously everybody does, and because you know,
Alex has a method to recording and is very specific
in particular that and he's right, But yeah, it was
(37:28):
tough to like it sounds like hundred thousands, just like
vibing through a lot of that song. And so it's
hard to like feel that or like give.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
That when you're trying technically it's so specific. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
for sure. That's the skill of recording, you know, in
the studio.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Yeah, so I thought it would be more fun to record.
But that also is not that great. But I again,
I like the I like the recording. I like it
last better. Feeling that number was fun because we were
just being stupid. And again, that felt really quick.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
I don't I actually don't remember that one. I don't
remember that.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Because it was really quick, so fast. Yeah, this is
very fast.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, this is like shoot it, get the coverage you need,
get the people you need to cover, and get out.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
And Beaker was an expert at yes, And this is why,
like you said, we only saw like the Moms and
the treble Tones shoot a couple times because if we normally,
if you're like off camera in the room, you stay
there even if the camera's not on you to give
the reactions to the other people. Because this was in
(38:38):
so much space and there were so many people, they
got all of us out of the room so they
could move as quickly as possible, so like we were
only in the room when we were.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
On camps on camera. That's right. That's why I don't
remember a lot of that either. Yeah, that's right. The
other thing that's happening is that with speaking of Carol
and Rummy, is that Rachel is worried about Carl and
Bert seeing them with Sam because obviously it's Finn's mom
and it's tough to show that she's moving on.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, as an understandable concern, and I yeah, I like
the way they're treating it's hard to say story behind
a Finn because we lost it's very much a real person, right,
But the way that it's sprinkled in, and every time
it's sprinkled in, it's a very gentle or gentle. It's
(39:34):
not overly dramatic, right, and not making light of it.
It's like a really like grounded way. And I really
respect how they did it, and it was respectful how
they did it.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yeah, I think also there's like part of it. These
feel like small moments and but in somebody's grief, like
they feel so large, right, they're huge milestones. They are
huge milestones, but things you don't think about unless you've
grand scrape, which most people have some yeah, you know, respect,
But like I think everything they've hand, if they've done,
(40:10):
they've just dropped in like you said, they've dropped in
little pieces to remind us of what Rachel's going through,
what we're all going through. What and then like also
mirroring that in real life. So it was really yea sweet.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
And that shot of them entering the dance floor across
from and Carol and.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Then Carol them being like, go ahead. It's just so
sweet and really well done, really really well done. The
other thing that's happening is that Tina is of course
feeling jealous without even really knowing it, and she decides
(40:50):
that she's going to gather her best boys, including Puck,
and reveal that she's going to propose to Mike and
at somebody else's wedding.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
I did not know this storyline was in this episode.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Oh true, Tiniform.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Because I remember this happening, but you see, this episode
to me is like the wedding, the wedding, and I
can't believe it is fit into this episode. Obviously, it
makes sense thematically, it makes perfect sense. For some reason,
I just didn't.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah, So Tina gathers everybody in the choir room and
Already is the only one that's like slightly skeptical. Obviously,
Blaine is in like lover's Land again, so he's like
all four it, and Puck is weirdly there and supportive
of it. It was hard to justify this, to be honest,
(41:52):
like in as Tina, like as an actor. M hmm,
because it like a little bit like we were now.
I don't hate this storyline. It ends up. I like
the where it ends up, but just proposing all of
these people getting married they're in high school or just
(42:14):
out of high school, Like I think now watching it
from our perspective as thirty real you know yearal people
like you're like, oh my god, why is everybody talking
about marriage? Although we were thinking about it at that time,
like in high school, like as a society, we are
built to everybody finds a partner and they get married
(42:37):
for life and that's it, you know what I mean,
And like there's a this is the pressure around that.
So the life plans in high school. I hope it's
not the same anymore. But I thought I was like
had my whole life planned out in my twenties. So
but it was hard to justify because Mike and Tina
had gone away for so long and like we hadn't
(42:59):
heard of their relationship for her to just be like
out of nowhere, like we reconnected and now I'm going
to propose. But it is kind of Tina, like for
her to do something like that a little.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
It felt natural Tina, because it's like a little reactionary,
I mean a lot.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Of reactionary yeah, impulsive yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
And the fact that like you don't really have a
relationship with Mike anymore, and you're like, well, because I
mean that thing of when everyone starts getting married or
everyone like it starts dating somebody or you feel it
and you're like, oh do I want that too? Right?
And so I understand that, but like to be doing
(43:38):
that at someone else's wedding, wild wild.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
And like I don't think I had the wherewithal to
realize that as a as Jenna like that you even
at that point, like you don't propose to somebody at
somebody else's weddy even though like you don't I don't think,
Like I was like, oh my god, but now and
then I watch it again, I'm like Tina. Yeah, thank god,
he said no.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
It's also one of those things that, like, you know,
when you go home, you like revert back to how
you were as a kid or as a teen or whatever,
and so it's sort of like Tina's probably one way
at Brown and she comes back and is around all
the same people and goes back to like taking up
the role that she was in that yeah, which was
cringe Tina oh Man.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
And she's also just fearful. I think she's fearful of
being alone forever. And so it actually ends up that
Mike says now and it's sweet. Yeah, it was again,
it was really fast.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
What was really fun was shooting the one. The scene
prior to that when she sees Mike for the first
time up in the rafters kind of above the wedding
and Puck is there and Mark was like throwing some
stupid poop and fart jokes at us like in yeah,
(44:59):
in between and it was making us laugh a lot,
And that was a really fun scene to shoot, and
Harry and I had a really great time shooting the
other one too. It just it was really fast, Like
I remember having to in my mind get this right,
justify it for myself, believe it, and then shoot it
all at the same time, yeah, which was like just
(45:21):
get there. But of course, like it was nice to
work with Harry again. And I just remember having a
really hard time with that storyline.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
It was my favorite.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
It feels really crazy.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
Yeah, And I couldn't couldn't ground myself in it, Like
I really just couldn't. I was like, I don't know
that I can get on board with this or whatever.
But it did lead us to the Artina Tarti scene
in the classroom, which is one of my favorite films
to one of my favorite scenes to film.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
I think it's my favorite scene we ever.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Did, agreed. I mean, we have some ones up there
that I loved filming, me too. But there was something
like very mature about this.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
It was very Jenna and Kevin. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And it felt like a really I was appreciative of it,
and I don't I'm appreciative of it now and I
was shortly after. I don't know if I realized at
the time, like what a good button it was for
us our experiences on the show totally, and it felt,
(46:26):
you know, a lot of the times our storylines were crazy,
Like in this episode, you had a crazy storyline. I
had that STD storyline a couple episodes ago, and so yeah,
it felt nice to have sort of a grounded, mature,
real conversation. Yeah, what is crazy is us saying we
get married when we were thirty?
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I move, I was. Yeah. I gagged a little bit
on that one.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Because how old are you when we were filming.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
This twenty nine, twenty nine, twenty eight or twenty nine?
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Yeah, but how old are you now?
Speaker 1 (47:06):
Thirty nine? Yeah, ten years ago. I was twenty eight
at the time, I was twenty eight because I turned
twenty nine and April. So yeah, that's crazy. That's also
like a lot of that packed is usually like by forty,
you make that pack, right, did you like anybody?
Speaker 2 (47:26):
You know?
Speaker 1 (47:26):
I did with a friend a long time ago, and
then I hit thirty something and got married. So it
didn't work out. Yeah I did. But also even forty
at this point, now you're like, it's not She's a
different world.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
I also think you know where we grew up. Most
people grow like in the.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
Suburbs married in their twenties.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, yeah, I just have how many friends you haven't
got married out of high school, like I have friends
who got bred out of high school.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
No college, college okay, but still thirty felt really close.
I'm sure we were saying that while we were filming
it too that I was like, okay, but for Ardentina
in their life, that felt like a long way like
a long way away. And yeah, I loved that scene.
Filming that scene is probably one of my favorites as well.
(48:16):
Also just because you have Brad Beeker there who like
comes in like whispers to you in between, like very calm.
He just he captured it so beautifully. It was just
honest and like it is a nice button. And uh yeah,
I really really loved that one.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Another really quick scene to shoot, and the key was
I'm noticing, you know in this episode there's a lot
of scenes with just two people or three people, and
that's what he could grab us shoot, get it and
get quickly and move on.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah. The wedding itself was very fast, like there was
a lot that happened there, but like the vows, we
were like fast the vows.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
No, my gusta no. Like these two couples have been
monumental for all of us.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
And we're splitting them them and then.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
They also just felt like why did all the good
conversations happen off the altar? Like, I don't know, I
felt like they could have m done some more meaningful vows,
and I also wanted Burt to like really lean into
his burtness, and it all felt because we didn't have time.
It all felt just really quick.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Yeah, agreed, agreed, let's crede some performances.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
Okay, at last, At last, I mean the performance is
sort of boring, but it's the aisle, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
A A hey, yeah, A A yeah, let's do a minus.
I'm so excited, A plus A plus. I was gonna
give it a day, but I'll give it a plus
and our day will come B B plus plus. Okay,
that was easy. Let's see some charty takes, uh cringe moments.
(50:17):
Gina Hershan playing drunk is very funny, so funny. I
was a little creeped out by her hang on Puck,
even though he guessed he was like a college kid
at that point. But I was like, mm, I don't know, yeah,
it doesn't seem I don't okay, I don't know. Yeah,
(50:37):
I didn't like it. Best dance move Benji's dance the
whole thing, best song at last, I'm okay with that right? Uh?
Performance by a prop, Oh, there's.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
A lot, you know, it was my least favorite prop.
What the ot P hats hated still hate with the
fiery rage?
Speaker 1 (51:07):
Where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (51:08):
It's it's from the internet, and it felt like old
people trying to get onto an internet trend. Did they
learned that there was.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Oh I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (51:17):
No, I hate that.
Speaker 1 (51:21):
I do like. Uh, the cutouts absolutely press, the seating chart.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
I love a miniature seating chart thing. Yeah, that was
really fun.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Best line, oh, easy, mine is you're blowing it and
you need to sit down because nobody's uglier than you
without your clothes on. Knock it off.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
Apparently I'm ugly with everybody's nobody's ugly. And this toaster comment,
this whole speech is just beyond Oh.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
That's what I wanted to say. What I do remember
filming and what didn't make it in They gave Ken
the opportunity and the time to really just go for it,
and he improved for his life, for his life, and
like those times were long and they were so good, they.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
Were really funny. I do remember that. Yeah, everybody was
just laughing. The other quote that I like is Whitney
in the Barn in the beginning Coolidge. So she's like
talking about the AMI's country and she's like I quickly
pulled down my pants and I squatted real low, and
usually I never looked, but it was just my lucky day.
(52:43):
I looked down and it turns out I was in
the labor in Brittany. It was you so good?
Speaker 2 (52:51):
You know what I did? I love Sash Hate was
in Sue's walking out and she's like, I've got to
come up with some new ship or fodder. Hmm, how
about Puck Sades, how's that? Or FABERI can't get enough
of the lesbians and it's like, don't get any more fuel.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
I know, I know, Live Love, prosper Performance, MVB.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
I think we just have I feel like the couples.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
The couples, yeah, just the squad, the quad, Yeah the quad? Wow. Okay,
well that's a wedding.
Speaker 2 (53:30):
I was. I'm sad it's over because I was really
looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
I know. It's just so many memories on that episode.
Speaker 2 (53:36):
Yeah, okay, should we found on TikTok Laurel C. Walls
posted some Coachella video. She said, Gleeks Never Die and
it's her at numerous performances and then them saying they
(53:58):
did this hung Glee bone you have Gaga. It's very
very accurate. Yeah, I love it because we're everywhere. You
