And That's what You Really Missed with Jenna.
And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast.
Welcome to and That's what You Really miss Podcast, Season five, episode ten Trio. Whoo Okay, this is a very heavy Tina episode.
It's very heavy Tina, and let me just say off the bat, very happy for you, but very bitter about this episode that I was not included in all of this.
It is shocking to me. And it is kind of funny that they just like did name that they were, like, Artie's not in this get out of here.
I get you needed like the trio and Lima and the Trio in New York, but like there are four of us.
You know what, though, here's the thing. If Tina and Sam were making out and Blaine had Artie, the storyline would have gone to pooper. It had to be a threesome, not a three sum But you know what I mean.
We could have made out. What's the problem.
I am bummed that you weren't there, though, because this was a really fun episode to shoot.
Yeah, it sure seems like you were bummed. Look had a lot of fun. Whatever.
Anyway, This is.
Season five, episode ten Trio, originally aired March fourth, twenty fourteen, and dark Horse by Katie Perry and GUCJ is still in the One Song in the Country.
New movie NonStop Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore. This seems like I've right out of my alley at least in my adult life. Something I would watch, but I haven't seen it. Also, this week, Leah's debut studio.
Album, Louder came out.
Wow, Yes, that's crazy.
I remember that week it came out and Cannonball was the single. I believe.
Yes, she did that on many many.
Did really well, And I remember running into her like that night at Soho House and she was celebrating with some of the Columbia Records people and we were just giggling over She's like, can you believe it?
That's funny.
Yeah, this episode is.
It is funny. It's funny for a number of reasons. I feel like Tina was like inserting herself into BLAM, which I felt very honored to do because I really do love Blam.
But you know, to be I think Tina always has been well became a thing. Tina was also there and had her own thing with Sam and with Blaine. So I feel like you've always been there.
Yeah, okay, fair enough. This is a lot of music in it. I'm curious to hear of, like your thoughts on the episode as somebody who was like not in as much of it, because I have such vivid memories of shooting this. I had a lot of fun shooting this, I remember, and so I feel a little skewed in my memory of like the episode versus doing it.
Well, I want to hear all the stories because obviously I'm not in a lot of this, but you guys got to do a lot of fun things, and there's a lot of great music in this episode, and filming things when it is smaller groups is always just really fun.
Yes.
Also when you do like the after school hours type scenes, so much fun. It feels like that in the scenes, like when you're filming it because the lighting is after school our lighting. Yeah, and you're very much in a three sixty degree set of a school, so it all feels like really fun. So I want to ask you all about those things. But let's talk about these songs first. Well. Ian Brennan directing this episode, Sophia Rivka Rossi wrote.
It, and we've got some people here, We've got a lot of Emma Hillsbury and we've got Demi. But we start off an episode with Kevin's favorite number, Jump and Jump in with Blaine Salmon Tina.
This whole episode is just me being jealous. Everything in this episode. Barracuda sung by Elliott and Rachel.
Don't You Forget About Me, which was supposed to be in the previous episode in puppet Master but was performed by Blaine, Salmon Tina.
Work perfectly in this episode. It worked. Danny Song performed by Emma and Will.
Gloria, Elliott, Rachel and Santana.
Happening by One three Hill.
So funny, and hold On by Wilson Phillips performed by Already Blaine, Sam Tina, Rachel, Santana one three Hill. Honestly just honored to have a song with Adam Lambert and Demi Lovado, truly. Well, we did share what the fox is, so that doesn't go okay. This is the fourth episode to not feature any solos, just group numbers and duets.
That's crazy, that's very strange.
Yeah.
Yeah, the first three were Vitamin D the first time, and I do that's wild. Ellie and Rachel were originally meant to sing Vision of Love by Mariah Carey. However, Wow, it was later changed to Barracuda. That is a very different vibe.
I didn't know that, and I wish it was Vision of Love.
I love that, But when Barracuda started, I was like, oh, yeah, give them like the hardest song because they both have stupid voices, and yeah, it's I enjoyed having them having like a diva off with each other.
Also makes you think of a guitar hero always.
Yeah, oh, I can remember exactly where you do, like the super Targe thing exactly.
Nancy Wilson from Heart plays the guitar on the Glee performance of Veracuda. What What?
That is very exciting, wild and like you said, don't you forget about He was originally intended to be performed in puppet Master, but was repurposed for this episode. Did you originally record it for puppet Master?
No, I wouldn't have been in it for if it was puppet Master.
Yeah that's what I was.
Okay, Yeah, No, I'm glad that we could reuse, recycle, reuse because it totally worked with like the break in and everything, like the school being like club. Yeah. Uh. At the end of don't you forget about Me. Blaine raises his arm just like in the movie in the breakfast Club, which is fun.
During Danny's song, Will Dab's paint on Emma's nose and wipes it off with the cloth, a parallel to the chalk dust scene from Showman Hu very cute.
The logo of the Almighty Troublecloth since superhero alter ego from Dynamic Duets is shown when Blaine, Tina, and Sam were breaking into the choir room during the night I did notice that.
Yeah, yeah, this is the second time Blaine has worn his nightber costume, the first being Dynamic Duett.
So weird to bring it back, but it's funny. This episode features the last appearances of Emma and Beast in season five.
There hasn't been enough of them, No, not nearly No. Each time they came on screen, I just did a little joy. I was so excited. This is the last episode to credit dot Marine Jones as a guest star. In season six, she becomes a series regular.
She's been a guest I know, that.
Was wild, wild.
I guess the adults were just a little bit different, right, Like, even though they were so prominent in the storylines, like we had so many series regulars as kids that like the adults became that you know, sad.
Like when you watch shows and things too, like the business side of it and that way is so confusing and odd and you just you don't think about that because everybody feels important.
Yes exactly, or they make they make themselves show up like there they are important.
Yeah.
This is the last episode to feature Demie Levados. Danny, Wow, that was quick. Too brief, Yeah, too brief. She's busy.
Though she's busy. I also wanted to see more of her and Santana's relationship, like I would have.
We missed out on that. We missed out on.
That, Rachel says to Elliott. Gina Gershon Junior is nipping at her butt and a wedding. Season six, Gina Gershon plays Blaine's mom, Pam Anderson.
That's funny. I didn't I forgot that. Gina Gershon played Blaine's mom.
Oh my god, never forget.
No, how could I mean?
It was amazing her, Shame on me. So in this episode, Sam, Blaine and Tina want to enjoy their last moments together in high school. Meanwhile, Kurt has problems with his band because Rachel and Santana's fight and Will and Emma try to get pregnant.
Okay, starting with Will and Emma trying to get pregnant, the way this episode starts out with them getting caught by Becky, it's the funniest thing. And that principal scene, that scene Jane's office, is actually, I think one of my favorite scenes of the series. And I know that is like a bold statement to say no. It is so so effing funny.
Like desperate for more Sue and Jane in that way, her reactions to just it felt really classic. It felt like season one Sue, Oh good. And it also felt like they gave her probably because Ian was directing, it felt like some of her reactions were a little more improvy or he was like hating her things, and it felt free. Like they say down syndrome and she goes, what's wrong with downsdom Becky's just standing there, what's wrong with down syndrome? Like the pacing of it all felt a little different, like it just was really really great, and then the.
Reaction at the end, She's like didn't need to know that. It's like so so good.
So it also made me want to see a Sue Sylvester, and what's Lisa Kudro's character from the Comeback, Valerie Cherish. Yes, I need to see them together.
That would be a great combo. What an interesting grouping, uh will in Emergy trying to have a baby.
But why are they doing it in the school closet?
I will say, there are specific times in which you different days in which you're ovulating. It's not necessary. They could go home and do that after.
S like there are children, underage children around.
Yeah, no, no, no, that is actually not.
Correct, And like I was actually surprised Sue was so cool with it. I'm like sure that you end up on some sort of list if you get caught doing this and.
Becky's the water who catches you just screaming so funny. Lauren Potter in this episode is very very good.
Season honestly scene stealer every time she shows up.
Yeah, working with her on this one was bananas.
Bananas, Oh my god, I can't wait to talk about that.
They're stressed about having a baby, which is somebody who has been in this world and understands that it's like it is true some people, you know that having a baby naturally is just not in the cards. But the whole thing is like just relax, just relax, But putting pressure on yourself is actually not good for you to write a baby. And Will is kind of trying to do his best. I actually don't think his intentions are bad, but he's just he's pushing, like getting to the fertility, you know, getting to the doctor and doing all this stuff. And like, so Sue and beast Off or some Will some advice as women, I guess, and they are like, just try and take a beat now.
Lost intentions are never bad. His execution usually leaves something to be desired.
Correct, correct, But how cute are they?
They're so cute. That scene in the teacher's lounge with the three of them is also just exceptional. And like Sue is just sitting there, She's always just around waiting to insult them. But they give him some pretty sound advice. And I also liked that we got to see the old craft room. Didn't that feel nice? Again?
Like didn't feel nice?
I'm like, is this a craft room? I recognize the color of the walls.
There was something also a little bit old school about watching Will and Emma like go through something hard, Like I it felt like a little bit of O G Gli. That was like very comforting to me in a way. I just love them so much. I think in like anything that they do, and I just thought it was like it felt it felt nice.
To see their number together was really cute, so sweet, it was so sweet. I was like, this is just good. This is charming.
Yeah. Yeah, she's also just the most charming and something that I'm not hating Will hating on Will for you know, there's I mean, they're they're so good together. No, they really are.
And it's like he may have some of these wild ideas and things, but when it's between the two of them, it always seems like they do understand each other. And it's written in a way where she doesn't really ever take it incorrectly, like she knows him, she just may need her space and vice versa, and so like it's nice that I just I love watching their dynamic.
So we find out Rachel has taken to Elliott. She moves in with the Elliott.
Listen. Some of my favorite Rachel is Leah doing these like comedic.
Kits, crazy like when she knocks on the door yes and then comes into his bed yeah, and like looks back.
At the bed a little bit, it's like, and then just tucking him in. Also, Adam Lambert is a very tall person, and anybody making Leah is a very short person. Yes, And to make Adam Lambert sleep on a couch it is crazy. That's all I could like, This wouldn't practically work.
She makes her way into that house and takes over as a roommate, and then Elliott is basically like doing her dry cleaning for her, bringing her tea, Like he's just become her, her little person.
Her new good gay and he doesn't like that. She's like, but it's such a good joke. It was very, very funny. Yeah.
I like their dynamic a lot, and I like learning more about Elliott in this way. Yes, And then they perform. Rachel has a band on on standby so she can her her funny girl and she's like, let's think this score, and then he's like, maybe let's do something rock bandy and rock starry and rocker, and so they do Barrakuda and they both sound insane on this number. Insane.
Yeah. I was like, what are they going to sing? And those opening notes starting like, oh my god.
Yes, it's very high I mean it's perfect for Adam obviously with what he does and rich and Leah can totally hold her own doing it. But my god, that song is high.
Adam in this whole episode singing is unbelievable, outrageous. It's really just like in his sweet Spot. Yes, I think that was on purpose, Like there's some things happening in Gloria too later on that are just just we'll get to Gloria. But his voice, I mean, this is the exact right song for them to be singing, especially him, and also she has this like rasp she can add into her voice, which is so good. And when she like accesses that and this song and she does Gloria as well, it's just the two of them together. Their voices are so different, but they work so well together. Yeah, the dynamic between Santana and Rachel from last episode and then sort of hating each other is really working for me. There's something about it that even when they're not in the same scene together, they're both so good and it's so funny. And like Santana putting in all this hair, this fake hair, and she has it most of the episode and it's so insane.
He's like new hair. It's also gone from like mean to comedic. Right, So, like Front of Me is, it was like kind of sad and like a little bit like darker, and you're like, oh god, ah, they're gonna be friends and what's going to happen to them? And this one has turned much lighter, much more comedic. There's much more of like this push pull of Elliott and who he's gonna you know, who's loyalty whereas loyalty is gonna lie. And I appreciate that, like we've kind of lightened the mood a little bit versus this hate you know, these like enemy things.
We're not that kind of show.
No, no, no, exactly.
And then when Rachel walks into the diner and catches Santana and Elliott together and has a freak out like all these little these caddy scenes are so good, and then they have a sing off basically.
Okay, I remember coming in for some reason. I remember being there for the rehearsal of this number. They were rehearsing this number to then shoot, and we were there. I remember being there and watching the rehearsal for this number, and it is to this day one of my favorite numbers. Of the series. Really, I love this song. I love their version of it. I love the storyline around it. I love who's singing it, Like we get everybody in there.
And he also liked Ellie doesn't work there and he's up there singing, yeah, exactly anything go who's at the diner? Right?
But my god, it's so good. It's a great song to begin with the original, and then it is a great cover. And you know what we don't get enough of. I know we've had like diva offs before on the show, but usually they're like cut together, right, This is both of them at the same time trying to out sing each other. It's so good.
It's so satisfying, and it's so funny, and Leah and Naya are comedic geniuses killing it. And you go from last episode, like you said, where it was much more dramatic, and they're also like killing that. This has like some of the same like rage undertones, but much funnier. Everything they're doing is laced with comedy. So even the way Leah is dancing on that stage and Gloria starts behind Naya is so funny. It's really good. It really is just excellent, and the boys are sitting there like what is going on? I know they're so over it. Well, they're so over it that Kurt is going to literally cut both of them, Rachel and Santana from Pamela Lansbury and has come up with another great name for a band, One three Hill.
I love this band too, absolutely so Santana and Rachel get kicks out.
Intentions are high, but they even in an attempt which I also like, and an attempt to still like outdo each other. Now it's being the better friend they make going to watch One three Hill perform a competition, and they sort of make like a temporary piece, like a slight truce here. Sure, and then you actually have like a really great moment with them back at the loft when Rachel is looking for her scented candle drawer and there's joke joke, joke, joke joke about Crotchel's panties and bras and things, but they're just.
They're so good.
There's something about their chemistry.
Yep, yep, and like the truth comes out, it's it's like they have it all, like they have it all. They have. You can do the dramatic front of me kind of thing where they're ripping up photos and getting into fights and saying really harsh things. You have the comedy of them kind of this push and pull in this episode, and then you have like the brutally honest that they didn't really have a lot of friends and like you know a lot of galfriends, and like the honesty comes out and you're like, damn, is there anything these guys can't do? And then also sing and sound really good to get and they can do it on a single scene, right, The journey is real. The way they're able to navigate all of those feelings in a single scene is bewildering, Like I.
Can't keep up. And I think the thing about them irl is they respected each other a lot, They respected their abilities a lot, and.
They also make each other better.
Yes, absolutely, But so it wasn't one of those things where it was like you knew you had to like be on your A game, ye opposite that other person because they're going to be on their A game. And so they're pushing each other probably subconsciously, because these scenes are magic, and I don't know what happened. It was like all of a sudden they started writing them more together and in competition and all this something clicked.
Yep. I totally agree, and it all just works. I totally agree, and it doesn't feel too fraud like, it doesn't feel like too heavy. I'm just like really enjoying this right.
You know, it feels completely grounded like Season one, Yes, and the way where you can balance the rudeness and like the comedic cruelty.
But they're and their journey, their character journeys are just so true to them fully you can see both sides.
And this is I'm like, this is the spinoff. Yeah like that, Now New York has a spin off, I get it.
And also getting you know, one three Hill to perform. We get Demi and Adam and Chris performing together one last time. I'm like, give me more of that, because God, they're good. They're so good. Our trios, our trios are here to stay today.
Can we talk about McKinley trio, Jenna, let's talk about it. You got to do this whole like John Hughes eighties. I'll hide my bitterness for now, but yes, all of these sort of like classic high school tropes. And I mean that as a compliment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, where you know Tina is like if building up where the three of you were like, oh, this is our last yeah, her last hurrah before graduation. You also have to cry in every scene, like the first like four scenes.
It's getting a little old, and of course we're just you know, it's fine because it's almost over. But like Tina is just very emotional that this year is coming to it.
I loved it though. The meltdown on the floor in the hallway was so good.
It's just crazy. And they also like don't know what to do with you. Yeah, I wouldn't want what to do with me either. Like it's annoying, like it's crazy. It's fun to do for sure, but it's also like I do have to cry, so like I have to like get there in a way and then like make it comedic at the same time.
Right, how do you do that?
I have to actually like get to the place where I can get some to your real time tears out, which doesn't happen physically for me. It happens emotionally. So I have to like get myself there emotionally somehow, and then I can once I'm there, I can tap back out of it and play into like the comedy of it. But it's not. It's not necessarily like easy for me, and nor is it like the most fun to have to go do that thing first and then play the comedy through it. I like the screaming and the laugh like, you know, like the ridiculous crying. I love that part of it.
Do you have like a shortcut, like a thing you go to to try to get you to cry?
You know, it depends on what it is like. Obviously, For like Shooting Star, that was a very easy one to tap into because the writing was quite good and the circumstances were there for everybody. For this one, I just tried to tap into like the idea of like being this being the end of the show and like that emotion. So it was like stayed real to true to like what Tina was that atually feeling. It works and it doesn't work sometimes, so you have to just kind of like go with whatever whatever's going to work for you.
Did you have that experience in high school where like, because Tina's whole thing is that she's so scared and she brings about examples of the rest of the Glee cast or you know, like I mean the characters like not speaking to each other, once you graduate high school, even though your intention is to stay best friends.
Yeah, I think Tina is actually more realistic in that way. Like Tina sees it because maybe of Mike Chang, because you know, she saw those all of her friends upperclassmen graduate like Rachel. But I think I was blissfully unaware of that, and I thought those people were going to be my best friends forever.
M hm.
In a way that Tina was actually much more correct and realistic in that sense. Did you think, were you, like, oh, well, you were in law staff.
I actually know I still have like my best room for my school was still one of my best friends and we talk all the time all the time. It's clear I still have a few.
I have a handful, but I don't have like it's not everybody, you know what I mean, your group?
I have one.
Yeah, I have a few. Yeah. Anyway, Yeah, the whole crying in the halloway, crying in the classroom, crying in the thing. It's also Ian likes that Ian got really giddy to like get you to cry. Gosh, it was just like, oh my god, another one.
You guys. So the characters got to sneak back into school to have like one last hurrah together. So this looked like so much fun.
It was because remember when we shot at night, like all of it, so it felt like we were actually breaking hands.
Was it all one night you did all these things?
Yeah? I think so. I think so, maybe too. Maybe the auditorium where we see Becky was a separate day, but like the classroom, Yeah, all of that was like one day.
I think I love you guys. Sneaking in. I loved a little bits of like people falling in and hopping up in foreground.
Yeah, we fell onto a mat. We fell onto a mat from the window. Don't you forget to meet about me? Was really really fun to shoot. They're great to work with. Cordon and Darren are also just game for anything, and it is a good crew to be with. And also, like you said, like when it's three of you, it's much more it's much easier to shoot, right, Like, it's not eighteen people sitting in one room that you're corralling, it's just the three of you. The chin things with the faces and the mouths were so funny, so so funny. Everybody's like peeing their pants. Crew members were loving it. We did the whole number song like like that per character.
It's like a video in our group chat and it was very funny.
And being in like the office, like Viggin's office at night or Jane's office. I us at that point doing the fire extinguishers were so much fun.
That looked like so much fun. You also have a video of that, which was I was happy to see that because I also I'm like, how did they do this?
If I'm correct, we were on strings, Our chairs were on strings.
It wasn't real.
It was real to an extent, like we were actually like doing the fire exchange. I don't know what they were made of, but like or what was actually in them. I think it was just like fog. But but yeah, I think there were strings that they pulled us on. Yeah, and then that was fun getting into cheerio uniforms again and like scootering around the school and then shooting with Becky with Lauren Potter was wild. She may have had a five ore energy herself because she was like on another level.
She was in character.
She was in character. She was method that day, but Ian because it was Ian being able to rewrite things. Just was spewing things at her and she was throwing them at us, and she's throwing the fiber and energies at us and then saying lines that like we had never heard before. So we were trying not to laugh, like it was really really really crazy but really funny. She was really really she did such a good job, I thought.
Her laying down like on the Twister, Matt like, I'll be here waiting for you.
Oh my god, poor place.
So good. Now, the thing you and I have talked about for the last week is you and Cord suckond face.
It got okay. So when I watched the actual episode, it's very peg.
Yeah, because I I remember seeing video from the monitor of you guys actually doing it, and.
It was gross disgusting. I'll never be able to get that out of my head. We laughed. We laughed because it's Cord and we're you know, it's all funny games with us. But and Ian was like, just go for it. But it was so gnarly and so ridiculous. And Samley talking on Tina's boots the whole time. I totally forgot about, like the trail leading.
Up to that, the only thing to bring her out of her sadness.
Truly, I'll never forget shooting that with Cord. It is so weird. It's just so weird, like kissing your brother, you know, yeah, literally like oh my god, and then they're like action and you just iam just let it go for like a really.
Long time, super long, for a really long time.
So now I managed to have to kiss a lot of guys in this show, like and to a comedic extent, like Harry and I. Harry and I had to kiss on the lower coaster six Flags, We had to kiss through an entire jar of heart song at prom Cordon. I seeing it, like kissing through this whole thing, it was like there was a lot. If this was post pandemic, I don't know that I would have said yes, you know, but it was funny and it totally played into the whole thing that like Blaine catches us and he's like, I gotta go find them, and then he feels like the third wheel and he said no to Kitty and already to bumper bowling, how much he loves bumper bowling because he didn't want to watch you guys make out the whole time and then here we are. That's right, But I loved it. I love Blaine's whole thing about it is so innocent and pure and like ridiculous.
I liked when blank I like when Blaine gets like this. Yes, like when he has this because he's always projecting like confidence, so when it comes to music, he's always like super confident and blah blah blah. But there's been a couple of times where he's been like this, sort of like sappy and hurt, and.
I love it. Yeah, this was really really fun. I loved working with them. Obviously we missed you whatever you're graduating with us, but I wanted joy to work with those two in this like little trio of that. It was really really fun.
Do you have any other favorite memories from it? We did the scooter of the Cheerio. I love that you had to skate around too. I was on the scooter, oh, and Darren was on the skate yes, yes, And then Cord came into the Cheerio outfit the skirt with the skateboard in this converse. It's so funny, right yeah, no, Yeah. The chin shots were one of my favorites to do because I think everybody was just like behind the monitor, like cackling. I thought that was so so funny and like just working with the two of them throughout the whole episode. It just felt like we had like a complete episode where sometimes I feel like Tina pops in and out and has like a scene here with somebody and a scene here, and like it just just felt very complete for pre graduation and.
What what was to come.
It was like you had an a an a storyline that was set up in the very beginning ran all the way through.
So valid.
Yes, especially because next episode, like the next two episodes, or like the end of high school, so it's it was really weird. Yeah, it is really nice.
Oh and then jump and jump in.
I remember Meat raising the roof, like what the hell is having It was like, Jenna, you can't raise the roof.
I was raised, and you're like, don't do that.
Don't be disrespectful to Dussy's child like that.
That number just felt like I was a fraud, a fraud star doing that.
And I felt so bad. You were like, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know how to do this with my body sounded great on that song.
Oh things, I feel really like I felt very out of body because it felt like in vogue to me, not my style, not my genre, and so when you asked me to actually try and sell something like that, it feels very out of body.
I get that, But I my answer to that is because when it started, I was like, this is funny having like these three sing this song. Yeah, not your topic, no, but that's the like magic of the show or like or being on the show where like these are these characters singing these songs. Yes and so yes, Like seeing Sam and Blaine and Tina do this was like super funny. You guys all sounded great, but also like I'm not expecting Sam to come in and all of a sudden be like dancing like Beyonce, you know, So it was like fair enough. Yeah, I do understand though that perspective of being the one who actually has to do it. Yeah, this my body hurts doing this, Like this feels so uncomfortable.
Because I did that along here. Yeah for me, yeah, I bet. I also feel like I just thought it was so funny that like already they played into the arty of like trying to be involved in this, Like it wasn't ignored at all the people like why isn't already there, like already tried to be there, right, He legit tried to be there.
Yeah, at least you included me in the final number, which you texted me about a couple days ago. Yeah, and this is really the first time it has come up. I have zero recollection of this number. It started and I was like, I didn't sing on this, and then I start singing. I'm like, what is right?
Isn't that weird when those moments happened and you're like, oh this.
I thought I had experienced that before, but I didn't. It felt scary. Hold on starts, I'm like, oh, this is a great song. Zero zero recollection.
It was scary. It's a scary feeling.
Oh I on a song with Adam Lambert and Demi Levato.
It's very funny.
It's very funny. Clearly we were all having great time.
We were just cheating it out at that point, because like it's such a cheesy number, you know, you just have to play into it. I'm glad that they included Artie.
Thanks Jenna.
Yeah, yeah, it wouldn't have been the same without you.
Come on, I mean, that's be real. I was just happy to sing. So that was all about it. I'm like, whatever, great, Now, what when do we graduate? I think we graduate in two episodes, don't we.
So we have three of angels, then we have one hundred, and then I think we graduate. Is that right?
Okay?
Yeah, So graduation's really coming, and.
Next week is actually Nationals that we have not prepared for.
Well, I mean, we're going to get there and it's going to be rocky.
I wish we did get to see I wish there was a little more realism in terms of that of the graduation, no, of like in competitions in general, of like getting to see the progression of numbers. What do you mean, you know, of like actually preparing for it for over several episodes, and then the satisfaction of seeing us accomplish the number at the competition. So it would be a different show, Kevin, I know it would be, but I guess just along on our show, I know, I just wish there was a little bit of it.
I agree with you. It's obviously very late for that, but it's more of the documentary versus the h.
I'm saying is super intricate, you know, Like I'm just saying just like a little a little bit.
I understand, you know, And we're going to get to next week. But obviously it's more about the Glee club itself versus like the process.
I'm very excited and scared of Yes, me too, me too. I did skip ahead, oh, and I was like, I need to see these musical numbers. Big mistake. Big mistake was not if you.
Don't prepare yourself for that one. Sorry for you. I feel sorry for you.
Jenna, I feel sorry for you. Sitting on my couch weeping.
Yeah, that's not exactly the one I would just watch for. To watch for ships and giggles, if you will. This is hands down our favorite national set list that's coming up, and it's sentimental. It's very obviously very emotional and emotionally driven. But we go to LA What a great way to go out.
Yeah. It was also very odd. I'm excited to talk about it. Yeah, but it's it's sad. It's a good balance of fun and sad.
I don't I just I'm trying to remember like feeling like, oh, this is our last competition. How am I going to feel about this? I don't remember if feeling like, oh, being nostalgic about it?
I don't either, But I think it was very much like how like this. I think we were like we're we know, yeah, and we were also excited to see like what was next, like oh what does this look like now? Because it didn't feel like it was completely over. It was just like what is this next adventure? Also, I think with the season, like behind the scenes, we were just like just trying to get through, so like, yeah, there wasn't a lot of emotional room to be nostalgic or upset about what the future might hold, and we were just like trying to get through the day fair enough.
I just want to note because all of y'all told us, you know, the season's a little unhinged, there's a little bit of it's kind of going downhill, be prepared. But the music and like again we're you're once again telling us the truth like we are we have been told and like this episode would get Gloria Like I don't know, I just feel like you guys, you guys hit the nail on the.
Head fully time and time again, Like oh yeah.
The music in this season is just outrageous.
Yeah, out of this world, very very good.
Let's right, let's rape these, let's right these.
Jump in jump in.
I give it a B.
I'll give it a B plus.
All right, fine, it'll be a nice sir, Okay, I'll.
Do B plus Barracuda. I'll give it an A.
A don't you forget about Me song or performance.
Performance A yeah, I would like you Barracuda and A minus and don't you forget about me in.
A okay, fair fair because it was so fun and I just I.
Had to take myself out of it for a little bit, like to be unbiased, not because I was bitter about not being in it, but like not have anything to do with the show. Whereas one of those times of like if this were a teen show that I was just watching and had nothing to do with, I would be like I would love this, and I did love it so like I could see, like as a fan just enjoying it so much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I see Danny's song A minus, Gloria A plus, the happening a A.
Minus, hold on A yeah. Everyone was really funny. It was ridiculous. Those curtains, beautiful curtains. Auchi's Emma and Will having sex at school during school hours and then getting caught and then we're leaving this class.
He just like pulls like she pulls him out of class. It's like, I don't I expect it from.
Not from Emma.
Okay.
Well, also Becky said some really racist things to Tina.
Becky said some questionable things this whole season.
Okay, best dance move, I don't know.
There wasn't a ton of dancing in this episode.
I did really love the hallway really worked for me for Jump and Jump in. Oh really, I sort of wish the whole number was there. It felt really cool. I liked how it was shot interesting. It felt like a like a music video where you guys are in the foreground and everyone was like really packed into the hallway. Yeah.
I could have done more of that in less of the choir room, to be honest, I really it really really worked.
It also like mimicked the music video a little.
Bit, like yeah, yeah, okay, I see what you're saying. Best song Gloria, Yeah, Gloria. Oh God, Besh forms very prop Becky's eleven hour energy Your Chin.
I also liked so there was that bit where you guys go into Emma's office and like rifle through the pane and those condoms and you pull out a condom and then blam, like looks at Sam and Sam's like yeah, sure, okay, and then Blaine doing where it's like, well me and Sam, and then Sam and Tina.
Now incestual ah best line.
Well I too, will saying wait, wait, wait, are you really pregnant or are you just pretending to be? Because same somebody told me they were pregnant it was really bad, which I really appreciated. And Santana said, first comes some amazing new hair, then incredibly sexy rehearsal clothes which she could never pull off, and then I'm going to sneak into the theater and tack up yearbook photos from her from her sophomore year when she was chunky. Little butter Ball just reminded her, Hey, wance a fatty, always a fatty. God is my witness. I will break her down. In the beginning, it's all sunshine, giggles and stickers, and then the second that you want the same thing as her, a dark cloud comes over her whiskery little chin, and she will chew you up and spit you out like a Jewish Hillary Clinton. I cannot, I spit out my water.
Cannot. It's too much, it's too much.
Do you have a favorite quote you know?
Sue had a really good one when she talks about Michael Bolton and pregnanting her. He used a range of his enormous, silky smooth vocal range to suit me into a state of relax so deep you can only be described as religious. I'm serious, Will I was listed than a renals.
Oh. I did also lose it when Sam Okay Blaine says, I turn it down because I figured they were just gonna make out the whole time, and I didn't want to be third wheel. And then Sam goes fifth wheel. I screamed, I actually screamed.
Very funny, it's very good. Okay performance, MVP you Darren in court obviously. Oh, I don't know about that. Leanne Nayah.
They can have an honorable mention. But it's the three of you.
Yeah, that's nice.
You're undeniable.
That's so nice.
You want to see some shit we found on TikTok this week.
I Love Joe.
This several tiktoks by the same creator. Her name is Ali. It's Ali JP twenty nine on TikTok, and she has a series of making her boyfriend.
I'm exkuming somebody a man friend?
Yeah, watching making this man watch Glee for the first time. The first clip that we have here is him watching Shuster sing the Thong song for the first time. There's also Shuster rapping. There's also a Bohemian Rhapsody, you know, like all the greatest hits here, and he looks like he's in shock every single time. Oh yeah, it is her boyfriend.
He's cringing, he's laughing, he's shocked. I love this is a series.
You know, there's that show in the UK called goggle Box where people watch TV and they show their reactions. I would love that for people reactions for sure, Yeah, for sure. And people nothing to do with like musicals, musical theater, Like I'd really like to see just out in the wild, people taking this in for the first time. And I like people like in the comments suggesting different things. Yeah for him to watch, like you're having my baby, Oh my god, I'm still standing. Someone also said the worst part is that Emma is eating it up like girls stand up. Also, lest we forget the wedding dress she's in. Oh right, Princess Danna's wedding dress.
That's right. Song.
Okay, it's really wild, but these are so good. And someone says it's called art and you know what it is.
