[0:50] Allison: The Disney adults gleeks Venn diagram is a circle.

[0:55] Andrew: So um going starting with the first one.

[1:02] Allison: I think the most people wanted to see this, and it makes sense, uh, is The Little Mermaid.

[1:07] Andrew: Topical vibes, yeah.

[1:09] Allison: Topical. Um, because of the Amber Riley connection, but also mainly for me.

[1:15] Andrew: Um for me, the biggest connection is where are you thinking about Amber Riley?

[1:21] Allison: She was in Little Mermaid Live.

[1:23] Andrew: Live.

[1:24] Allison: That's right. Wait, who did she just play? One of her sisters?

[1:29] Andrew: Yeah, one of the sisters. She sings the first song in the show, Daughters of Triton.

[1:33] Allison: Oh, interesting.

[1:34] Andrew: Okay. So uh, but my But also, wait, Leah Michelle plays Ariel at like the Hollywood Bowl.

[1:43] Allison: Yes, at the Hollywood Bowl.

[1:44] Andrew: Yeah, okay. Um lesser no, not on ABC Love.

[1:48] Allison: Um John Stamos.

[1:50] Andrew: Sorry to interrupt again. John Stamos was on uh he played Chef Louis in the um Moana one.

[1:58] Allison: I guess that Amber Riley was also in.

[2:01] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[2:02] Allison: Um I I wouldn't remember. I didn't watch the whole story. I'm so sorry.

[2:06] Andrew: Anyways, but for me, the tie-in is on Tumblr, people went ape shit crazy fan casting the Little Mermaid musical with Leah Michelle as Ariel and Darren Chris as Prince Eric.

[2:17] Allison: And Gleeks, there was on Tumblr, somebody photoshopped a movie poster of The Little Mermaid and photoshopped Leah Michelle and Darren Chris's faces onto the movie poster.

[2:29] Andrew: And if you can send that to our DMs and be like, Allison, I know exactly what you're talking about, and you can send that to me, I will personally Venmo you one dollar.

[2:38] Allison: Because I do come on, they gotta do more than that.

[2:42] Andrew: Do five.

[2:43] Allison: Five.

[2:43] Andrew: No, one glee dollar.

[2:45] Allison: Okay.

[2:46] Andrew: One glee dollar?

[2:47] Allison: How can you even use that?

[2:50] Andrew: You can use it in the glee universe, the glee universe, whenever you go.

[2:56] Allison: Yeah. Um, because I really want that content if you find it.

[3:00] Andrew: Anyways, so let's take a trip down memory lane back to album October, okay.

[3:05] Allison: Where did we leave off with all of these characters?

[3:08] Andrew: Oh, I need a recap.

[3:09] Allison: Yes.

[3:09] Andrew: Yeah, so we had the ABBA episode, the Fine Line episode, the Thank You Next episode, and finally the Reputation Taylor Swift episode.

[3:19] Allison: And in the Reputation Taylor Swift episode, this is like my rewriting of season four, right?

[3:24] Andrew: So Reputation ends with so Marley is into petty crime, and Marley and Kitty are in their reputation era, but everybody's like, Marley, you need to calm down, right?

[3:36] Allison: Um, not on this album.

[3:37] Andrew: But they didn't, yeah.

[3:38] Allison: Okay, yeah.

[3:39] Andrew: Exactly.

[3:39] Allison: So by the end of the episode, Marley is like, you know what? I don't need to do petty crime to feel uh um emotions. Thank you, everybody, for saving me from that.

[3:49] Andrew: Rachel is in her slut era and has been sleeping around. Finn has been sleeping with Quinn, and um Kurt calls up Finn and is like, come get your girl. Finn comes in, they sing end game uh end game, and then Finn and Rachel maybe are rekindling something.

[4:08] Allison: So that's where we left the Glee Clubs, part one and part two.

[4:13] Andrew: Part one is Rachel and Finn and part two is Marley and then Okay, part one and part two.

[4:20] Allison: So I'm imagining that now we're coming back from a mid-season hiatus. We had like two weeks off, two weeks without a glepisode.

[4:28] Andrew: Right.

[4:28] Allison: Um yeah, time to process what has happened. Uh, the reputation era.

[4:35] Andrew: So the episode is gonna open with a dream sequence.

[4:38] Allison: And Santana before I start this, can you make sure that I can share my screen?

[4:44] Andrew: Yeah, absolutely.

[4:45] Allison: Okay. The episode opens with a dream sequence. Santana, Quinn, and Brittany have full mermaid tails, but they're Cheerios, tank tops, and also ponytails.

[4:56] Andrew: Oh my god.

[4:57] Allison: We need the fan art. I'm willing to I'm willing to spend five glad.

[5:01] Andrew: To spend five glars on that.

[5:04] Allison: Um they are going to sing this in this dream sequence here.

[5:17] Andrew: Oh, we need to forget great father who loves us a name as well.

[5:23] Allison: Aqua Ariel.

[5:53] Andrew: Okay.

[5:54] Allison: Wait. The Daughters of Triton. That's the first number.

[5:56] Andrew: That's our that's Amber Riley's song.

[5:59] Allison: I completely is that even oh, oh, that's the Amber Riley song from Oh, okay. Got got it.

[6:04] Andrew: So it's the very beginning of The Little Mermaid where all the sisters are singing. Who's singing that?

[6:10] Allison: Um this is uh Santana Quinn and Brittany, yes.

[6:14] Andrew: Oh, okay, fun.

[6:16] Allison: Okay. Um, they're in their like dream sequence, they're in their outfits. Um, and when they finish the song, they're looking around. Uh, and here comes Rachel, but she's not a pretty mermaid, she's a floppy ugly fish.

[6:29] Andrew: And the unholy trinity scoff at her and call her ugly names.

[6:33] Allison: And then she wakes up, she's like, and Finn's name. Finn wakes up next to her. They've been hooking up again, um, and tries to comfort her. Rachel explains that she's been on edge recently, and she doesn't know why. She just has a sinking suspicion in her stomach, and she asks Finn, do you have anything to tell me?

[6:54] Andrew: And he says, no. But in reality, he hasn't told her yet that he's been hooking up with he was hooking up with Quinn when they were on their little break.

[7:02] Allison: But they Yeah, they were on a break. Meanwhile, Rachel came completely clean about her endeavors. She was slutting around, and even got an STD test to prove it.

[7:14] Andrew: Okay.

[7:14] Allison: At McKinley, Mr. Shu reads the teams for Nationals in Orlando this year.

[7:21] Andrew: Oh, classic.

[7:23] Allison: Okay. Vocal adrenaline, inexplicably.

[7:27] Andrew: Right.

[7:27] Allison: And The Pitch Pleases.

[7:29] Andrew: A new new group.

[7:32] Allison: Yeah, new group that I made up. Since it is in Orlando, the competition is Disney themed.

[7:38] Andrew: Uh, to prepare the next several weeks will be Disney songs.

[7:43] Allison: I'm losing my mind.

[7:47] Andrew: Blaine is ecstatic about this.

[7:50] Allison: Um, it's a subtle nod to Darren Chris's own obsession with Disney. Uh, he's gonna get up and say, we should totally sing this at Nationals.

[8:00] Andrew: And guess what?

[8:01] Allison: And they're like gonna sing it at National.

[8:02] Andrew: Yeah, they're like don't know!

[8:04] Allison: No, don't know!

[8:06] Andrew: Uh, he's gonna get up and sing this.

[8:11] Andrew: Floating in a blue lagoon.

[8:15] Allison: Buy a bit that do it soon.

[8:17] Andrew: No time will be better.

[8:22] Allison: She don't say a word, and she won't say a word until you stay.

[8:29] Andrew: However, it's not that arrangement.

[8:33] Allison: It is the much better arrangement.

[8:36] Andrew: Ashley Tisdale.

[8:37] Allison: Ashley Tisdale.

[8:39] Andrew: No, this is not an ad.

[8:41] Allison: They do not sponsor us.

[8:43] Andrew: We are not sponsored by Peacock.

[8:46] Allison: Okay.

[8:52] Andrew: There you see her.

[8:55] Allison: Sitting there across the way.

[8:58] Andrew: She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her.

[9:05] Allison: Like a little bit more whiny, but it sounds like a blow.

[9:09] Andrew: He has like a blow.

[9:14] Allison: At this point. I, you know, when you first played like the original like movie version where it was like the background.

[9:20] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[9:21] Allison: And I was like, who would do that? No one in the Glee Club would do that. And then I was like, oh wait, wait, wait. Tina's right there.

[9:26] Andrew: Tina.

[9:27] Allison: Tina's right there.

[9:28] Andrew: Yeah.

[9:28] Allison: Tina wouldn't have.

[9:29] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[9:31] Allison: Yeah.

[9:34] Andrew: So uh everyone agrees that it would be great at Nationals. Haha, guess what? They're not gonna sing it because they said the words this would be great at Nationals.

[9:41] Allison: Classic.

[9:42] Andrew: Um at Marley's locker, Jake comes up and asks her if she wants to come over because remember, they had sex.

[9:49] Allison: Oh yeah.

[9:51] Andrew: Marley is in deep depression post-petty crime phase. Uh she says, no, Jake, I can't do that anymore. Jake slams her locker and storms off.

[10:00] Allison: Ryder comes up, makes a comment about Jake. Not him. Asks Marley out as well, but Marley says no to him, also.

[10:09] Andrew: She walks away, slow motion, and her voiceover explains that she doesn't know who she is anymore.

[10:15] Allison: It feels like she's just floating around in the ocean, untethered from everything.

[10:19] Andrew: And uh, she's gonna sing this.

[10:21] Allison: You want thing of the bobs?

[10:23] Andrew: I got 20.

[10:24] Allison: But who cares?

[10:26] Andrew: No big deal.

[10:29] Allison: I want more Molo written all over it.

[10:35] Andrew: Yeah, I think so.

[10:36] Allison: I wanna be where the people are.

[10:40] Andrew: I wanna see, wanna see them dancing.

[10:43] Allison: And I think she's like montaging through the hallway looking at people.

[10:48] Andrew: Oh, feet.

[10:52] Allison: Wait.

[10:52] Andrew: Um what?

[10:55] Allison: Uh, I have a few just off the top of the dome notes.

[10:59] Andrew: Sure.

[11:00] Allison: Um, okay.

[11:02] Andrew: So, first of all, you said this is Molo all over it, which I want to address because I'm like, I don't think it's fair that we're having like we give Marley Molo, but we have like Mercolo for Mercedes.

[11:15] Allison: It's true.

[11:16] Andrew: Is it Marlolo?

[11:17] Allison: I think it should be Marlolo.

[11:19] Andrew: Marlolo.

[11:20] Allison: Are there any other M names?

[11:23] Andrew: Mursolo, Marlolo.

[11:26] Allison: Myron.

[11:28] Andrew: Myron Myro.

[11:30] Allison: My roll.

[11:30] Andrew: Myro!

[11:32] Allison: Oh, that would be only exception.

[11:34] Andrew: Um, okay, so and then my.

[11:40] Allison: Um, and then the second note was that at the beginning of this episode, you were referenced like everyone wanted like everyone wanted Leo uh Rachel to be Ariel, which I don't think that Rachel really is an aerial type character.

[11:55] Andrew: I think Marley is a much better suit for this.

[11:59] Allison: I would agree, but I think when this this head cannon was made, it was made season two.

[12:04] Andrew: So I don't think we blame it on the alcohol episode.

[12:08] Allison: Um I think that like even like Santana would be more suited for even like you're getting ahead of yourself.

[12:17] Andrew: Okay, I'm sorry.

[12:18] Allison: And then my final note is that when Mar Marley is singing this Marlolo about being part of your world, what world is she singing about being part of the world?

[12:26] Andrew: Any world.

[12:27] Allison: Any world.

[12:28] Andrew: She's lost.

[12:29] Allison: She doesn't know where to land.

[12:30] Andrew: She doesn't know who she is.

[12:31] Allison: She doesn't have anything to live for.

[12:33] Andrew: She's big sad.

[12:34] Allison: Big sad.

[12:35] Andrew: Okay.

[12:36] Allison: Um.

[12:37] Andrew: Okay.

[12:38] Allison: So that song ends commercial break.

[12:41] Andrew: Santana in Louisville.

[12:43] Allison: She's still there.

[12:44] Andrew: She's made herself a mean girl posse.

[12:47] Allison: They are known around campus for being just straight up rude. Think the skanks from season three, but like actually hot and absolutely ruthless.

[12:55] Andrew: Okay.

[12:55] Allison: Um, Santana is in class and makes a joke at someone's expense right before class is over.

[13:01] Andrew: Um, as people are like filing away, the teacher calls her up to her desk.

[13:05] Allison: Teacher of this class is gonna be another celebrity cameo. For some reason, I saw Tina Faye, because I fe I see Tina Faye as a teacher very strongly because of Mean Girls.

[13:16] Andrew: But I don't think Tina Faye is in Ryan Murphy's phone book, to be honest with you.

[13:21] Allison: Yeah.

[13:22] Andrew: Um, I think it might be Sarah Paulson.

[13:24] Allison: Uh might be a little bit closer.

[13:27] Andrew: Um, she calls Santana up and asks about her about her behavior, like kind of confronts her, like, hey, why are you doing this?

[13:34] Allison: Santana brushes her off, leaves the classroom, and montage of her being mean while she sings this.

[13:41] Andrew: Apothetic.

[13:43] Allison: Poor unfortunate souls in pain, in need.

[13:49] Andrew: This one longing to be thinner.

[13:51] Allison: That one wants to get the girl, and do I help them?

[13:54] Andrew: Yes, indeed.

[13:56] Allison: Those poor unfortunate souls.

[14:00] Andrew: Um, that is the arrangement, sadly, not the Jonas Brothers arrangement.

[14:03] Allison: But I yeah, I think yeah, I think she could do like a real like I think that that version that you just played is like sexy, has like an element of like sexiness to it, but I think that it could be like even sexier if you could even wrap your mind around that.

[14:18] Andrew: Wrap your little tentacles around that one.

[14:21] Allison: Yeah.

[14:22] Andrew: And then I have two possible ways that this storyline could go with the same um ending, and I want you to tell me which one you like better.

[14:33] Andrew: So that's what I'm here for.

[14:35] Allison: After the commercial break, Britanna is walking around.

[14:38] Andrew: Or wait, the song ends with her getting to her dorm, and Brittany is sitting on her bed.

[14:42] Allison: Uh-huh.

[14:42] Andrew: Dangling her feet.

[14:44] Allison: After the commercial break, Britanna is around campus.

[14:47] Andrew: How high off the bed is the ground?

[14:49] Allison: It's lofted.

[14:50] Andrew: It's lofted.

[14:51] Allison: How high, how high off the ground is the bed is what I meant to say.

[14:55] Andrew: But you understood.

[14:56] Allison: Umfted.

[14:57] Andrew: Okay.

[14:58] Allison: Um, after the commercial break, Britannna is walking around campus.

[15:01] Andrew: Brittany pushing Santana to take her everywhere, show her around.

[15:04] Allison: Um, but Santana keeps making excuses for avoiding certain places.

[15:08] Andrew: She's embarrassed to show Brittany how mean she has been this past couple weeks.

[15:13] Allison: A girl comes up to them and yells at Santana.

[15:16] Andrew: She's finally grown the balls to fight back, but Britney is confused.

[15:19] Allison: Ask Santana what's going on.

[15:21] Andrew: And she comes clean.

[15:22] Santana tells her everything.

[15:24] Allison: Uh, Britney says something like, I love you because of this secret side of you that is so sweet and kind, but I don't want it to be secret.

[15:31] Andrew: I want you to show the world that side of you that I love so much.

[15:35] Allison: And Santana agrees.

[15:36] Andrew: And this is going to lead to her leaving Louisville and going to New York City.

[15:42] Allison: Oh, okay.

[15:43] Andrew: So this is okay.

[15:44] Allison: So there's that storyline.

[15:46] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[15:47] Allison: Or there's she sings "Poor Unfortunate Souls."

[15:50] Andrew: The song ends with her getting to her dorm, and Sue is sitting on her bed.

[15:54] Allison: Oh no.

[15:56] Andrew: Commercial break.

[15:57] Allison: Come back after the commercial break.

[15:59] Andrew: Sue is like, Santana.

[16:02] Allison: I heard that you're being a complete utter bitch around campus and I love it.

[16:06] Andrew: You're just like me.

[16:07] Allison: And Santana is having this breakdown because oh my God, she has become exactly like Sue, the person that she absolutely did not want to be like at all.

[16:18] Andrew: She resents and hates.

[16:20] Allison: And because of that, she leaves Louisville and goes to New York City.

[16:25] Andrew: I don't know which one's better. To have Brittany or have Sue.

[16:29] Allison: Um, I like the Sue.

[16:31] Andrew: The only problem I have with the Sue is Sue sitting on the bed.

[16:34] Allison: I think that Sue could approach Santana elsewhere on campus.

[16:38] Andrew: Um, it does not need to be.

[16:41] Allison: In her dorm room.

[16:42] Andrew: Yeah.

[16:43] Allison: Okay.

[16:44] Andrew: I, but I like the Sue angle that it's like, oh, like I hear, but like Sue needs more of a reason to be there, other than just being like, I hear you're a bitch.

[16:55] Allison: Nice.

[16:57] Andrew: Up top.

[16:59] Allison: Nice.

[17:00] Andrew: Maybe they're in town for a cheer championship or something.

[17:04] Allison: I think that like, because wait, you said like Sarah Paulson is what?

[17:08] Andrew: Like a teacher?

[17:09] Allison: A teacher, yeah.

[17:10] Andrew: Could like, could it be that like Sarah Paulson or someone else at the school is like, uh, the cheer captain that because like Sue was the one that got like she and Brittany helped Santana get into Louisville, right?

[17:27] Allison: Like, um, and so like Sue, it would make sense for Sue to keep tabs, maybe have a connection with the cheer coach there, um, a celebrity cameo, because you really don't have a Sarah Paulson doing much of anything in this episode other than hey, it's just like hey, Laura, bitch.

[17:45] Andrew: Yeah.

[17:45] Allison: I like that idea.

[17:46] Andrew: No, I like that idea.

[17:47] Allison: Thank you.

[17:48] Andrew: Okay.

[17:48] Allison: So, um, Rachel and Finn are out on a date.

[17:52] Andrew: Finn is also uncomfortable with something.

[17:55] Allison: Everybody's just coming clean in this episode.

[17:57] Andrew: Rachel calls him out and is like, just spit it out, Finn.

[18:00] Allison: I don't know what you're trying to say.

[18:02] Andrew: Finn tells her about Quinn.

[18:04] Allison: Uh, Rachel is crying.

[18:06] Andrew: I thought we were gonna be better this time, and she storms out, leaves.

[18:09] Allison: Becca McKinley, Marley goes to her mom and tells her everything, all the stuff that she's been going through, the petty crime and all of it.

[18:16] Andrew: Right.

[18:17] Allison: Uh, we're all just being honest in this episode.

[18:19] Andrew: Her mom suggests therapy, and she makes a joke at Emma's expense, like not just counseling with, uh, Emma.

[18:26] Allison: Real honest to God therapy sessions with a trained professional.

[18:30] Andrew: Uh, Marley cries and smiles and thanks her mom, and it's on the up and up for Marley now.

[18:35] Allison: Okay.

[18:36] Andrew: To come to wrap up the episode in a comic relief in the choir room, Tina and Artie, uh, have prepared another option for nationals, which of course they will not sing because they addressed it.

[18:46] Allison: They're gonna sing it.

[18:46] Andrew: Um, they're gonna sing this in full costume, full set, a la "Roar" from season five.

[18:52] Allison: Under the side where does this money come from?

[18:54] Andrew: We don't know.

[19:02] Allison: Nobody beats us, try us and eat us in free case.

[19:07] Andrew: We won't be able to do that.

[19:08] Allison: And I do think that Artie is putting on a Jamaican accent.

[19:12] Andrew: We got no trouble.

[19:13] Allison: Life is defunds under just okay.

[19:18] Andrew: Gleeks, you just heard that.

[19:20] Allison: And I feel like has that song always been that slow?

[19:27] Andrew: Like the tempo is like I was like, I was just like waiting for it to like under the sea.

[19:27] Allison: Under the sea.

[19:35] Andrew: Wait, what?

[19:36] Allison: No.

[19:36] Andrew: I need to be like 1.25 faster.

[19:39] Allison: Yeah.

[19:40] Andrew: I think I'm used to the Raven Samoan version of it.

[19:44] Allison: Oh, I don't know if I'm familiar.

[19:46] Andrew: I'm familiar with like it for you.

[19:48] Allison: Yeah, let's play it.

[19:49] Andrew: Okay.

[19:58] ♪ Musical number: "Under the Sea" — performed by the Glee Cast ♪

[20:01] Allison: Come with me.

[20:04] Andrew: The sea wind is always greener.

[20:07] Allison: Somebody's.

[20:08] Andrew: Still a little slow though.

[20:09] Allison: You dream about go up weak up.

[20:12] Andrew: Yeah.

[20:12] Allison: But that is a big mistake.

[20:16] Andrew: It's a nice.

[20:17] Allison: I feel like it's I'm gonna say Artie led, which pains me to say, but it's true, and all Gleeks will agree.

[20:24] Andrew: And I think that like Tina and Brittany are also on this.

[20:28] Allison: Yeah.

[20:28] Andrew: Okay.

[20:29] Allison: Brittany has come back.

[20:31] Andrew: If she's not in it, if it's Sue in that storyline, Brittany has a reason to be in the episode.

[20:36] Allison: Okay, great.

[20:37] Andrew: It all works out.

[20:38] Allison: Yeah.

[20:39] Andrew: I love it.

[21:01] Andrew: Yes.

[21:01] Allison: Week after week, baby.

[21:03] Andrew: I can't wait.

[21:05] Allison: Also, by the way, Gleeks, um, I know that I've been saying this for the past three episodes, but I'm still goddamn sick.

[21:13] Andrew: Um, maybe you can hear that in the sultry tone of my voice, but um, goddamn, this illness just doesn't quit.

[21:21] Allison: Um, and so just bear with me.

[21:23] Andrew: Um, if I feel low energy, it's because I did not sleep well last night.

[21:28] Allison: So anyway.

[21:29] Andrew: Sixic boom.

[21:30] Allison: Thank you.

[21:31] Andrew: Sixic boom.

[22:08] Allison: Yeah, it's gonna be.

[22:09] Andrew: Yeah, that does hit.

[22:10] Allison: That song does hit the MP3.

[22:11] Andrew: I know that I've talked shit about it before, but I did listen to the MP3 recently, and I was like, oh.

[22:16] Allison: This is better than the original.

[22:18] Andrew: Oh.

[22:19] Allison: Yeah, I'll say that.

[22:20] Andrew: I would say so.

[22:21] Allison: It's true.

[22:21] Andrew: Anyway.

[22:24] Allison: Hi, Gleeks.

[22:26] Andrew: We're back with another glistener who's just ready to gleek it up on a dime.

[22:31] Allison: We texted her 10 minutes ago.

[22:34] Andrew: We were like, Carly, remember how we had scheduled that other thing the other day? Can you do it today?

[22:39] Allison: And she was like, Yeah. I'm ready to show up whenever you need us.

[22:42] Andrew: Carly, how are you?

[22:44] Carly: I am fantastic.

[22:47] Andrew: Thank you so much.

[22:47] Carly: Happy to be so much for joining us tonight.

[22:49] Andrew: Oh my god.

[22:50] Carly: Thank you for having me. I've been waiting for this moment my entire life.

[22:53] Andrew: And now it came even sooner.

[22:55] Carly: It came a week early.

[22:56] Andrew: I know.

[22:57] Carly: Um, Carly, would you by any chance be familiar with the hit Fox show Glee?

[23:01] Carly: You know, I actually had never heard of it before until 10 minutes ago.

[23:06] Andrew: When we when a Glee podcast DM'd you on Instagram.

[23:10] Carly: Yes.

[23:11] Andrew: Um, what is your relationship with the hit Fox series?

[23:15] Carly: Um, long one. So I am an OG Gleek. I started watching Glee with my mom when I think started in what, 2009. So I was in fifth or sixth grade.

[23:27] Andrew: Um and I watched all the way through. Like I'm a dedicated Gleek. I watched till the end of season six.

[23:32] Carly: I was there. I was in the trenches with the rest of the cast.

[23:35] Andrew: Like, why are we still doing this? But you know, Sunday evenings, yes.

[23:41] Carly: Fighting the good fight. Um, and I don't I just fell in love with the show. Like I was a major theater kid growing up. So, you know, it was like calling to me. I was there opening night of Glee the 3D concert movie. Like we were we were dedicated in my household. Me and my mom. It was like every every night.

[24:00] Andrew: Can I ask how many people were at the midnight premiere?

[24:05] Carly: Not enough.

[24:08] Andrew: Not enough people.

[24:10] Carly: But you know, you gotta be there for your people.

[24:12] Andrew: I mean, I've just I loved the show. I love Leah.

[24:16] Carly: Um, I truly do. I'm going to see her in Funny Girl in January. I'm so excited.

[24:19] Andrew: Oh my god.

[24:21] Carly: So nice. Um literally will do anything to go see that show.

[24:25] Andrew: Yeah.

[24:26] Carly: Um, have you listened to the cast album or are you like letting it be a surprise?

[24:30] Andrew: Okay. So I listened to the cast album. I felt like I needed to gauge what my emotional response was going to be.

[24:36] Carly: Sure.

[24:37] Andrew: Because sure. I'm no, I'm gonna cry the entire time. I already told my cousins I told whichever one is sitting next to me that just to expect me to be crying the entire night.

[24:45] Carly: The person is a non-Gleek. They're not as like I'm definitely the Gleek of the family. Like I don't think I I don't think I know anyone else who has my level of obsession with this show as I do. Like it's just it's it's concerning sometimes.

[25:02] Andrew: But here you are on a Glee podcast.

[25:04] Carly: It only makes sense.

[25:06] Andrew: Yeah, it's fine.

[25:07] Carly: Um, but yeah, I love it. I mean, I also I remember when season two came out, um, because I love Darren Chris. I was like watching OG Star Kids stuff. Like when A Very Potter Musical came out, I was like there. I was definitely too young to be watching A Very Potter Musical first aired. But on YouTube, oh my god, that was like the first thing I ever watched on YouTube. That and like Rebecca Black's "Friday." Like literally, those were like things.

[25:30] Andrew: Right that took up my for you page on YouTube or whatever they were calling it back when it first started.

[25:37] Carly: But um, so I was like super excited when Darren got casted. And so that just really kept me because I was like, oh my god, Darren Chris, it's Harry Potter.

[25:47] Andrew: Do you remember where you were when that was announced?

[25:50] Carly: Oh my god, no, I don't.

[25:52] Andrew: Um, I think I was in school.

[25:55] Carly: Okay.

[25:55] Andrew: I was doing something for school.

[25:58] Carly: I remember because I like season two was like my peak Glee era. It was really bad. I like my ringtone was like switched between "One Less Lonely Girl" by Justin Bieber and...

[26:03] Carly: I thought you were gonna say "One Less Bell to Answer" Glee Cast version.

[26:13] Andrew: Okay.

[26:14] Carly: "Lucky," the Quinn and Sam version, and "Forget You" by the iconic one of the Caltro. That was where the three rotating.

[26:22] Andrew: Okay.

[26:24] Carly: For me in like sixth and seventh grade. And yeah, I was just obsessed. I like the show holds such a special place in my heart. Like it can do no wrong to me, even though it's so bad in some places.

[26:37] Andrew: But it's so nostalgia.

[26:39] Carly: Yeah. But I love that it's like it's still going on and like we were able to connect with other people still in like 2022, all these years after, there's still like new content, you know, literally day after day.

[26:52] Andrew: Oh you know, it's crazy.

[26:53] Carly: It's wild. People on TikTok are way too I'm like, I'm one, I'm just too old to figure out how to do any of this, but like also just so creative. I'm like, if I had come up, like if this was 2015 and I posted that on like Vine, I would get slammed in school.

[27:12] Andrew: Exactly.

[27:13] Carly: Doing the like Sue Sylvester audios on Vine, nobody would have gotten it.

[27:17] Andrew: Yes.

[27:18] Carly: Uh, Carly, you are a dedicated listener. We want to know what your hot takes are. Some con some, uh, competitions that you didn't feel comfortable with. Um, what do you have to say to us?

[27:32] Carly: Well, my biggest one, I'm like a Jake Puckerman girly. Like I for like when he cheated on Marley, I was like, eh, that's quirky old Jake doing this thing.

[27:42] Andrew: He's doing the Jake thing.

[27:43] Carly: Yeah. I love him. And when his songs don't go through, I get so sad. I'm like, "Never Say Never" is so good. Probably like my top listen to Glee song, maybe like up there.

[27:57] Andrew: Yeah.

[27:58] Carly: That was one of those songs that I was surprised, like, because I voted for it was like "Never Say Never" versus "Promises, Promises."

[28:04] Andrew: Yes.

[28:05] Carly: And like I was like, and I was like, I you know, I'm putting out a vote for "Promises, Promises" just because I was like, I I'm sure I'll be the only one. But then Lindsay Pierce, out of Dark Horse of the Glacier, um, comes in and she's like, I'll say it too.

[28:20] Andrew: So crazy, wild.

[28:21] Carly: So love Jake Puckerman. Um, I actually really well, hot takes about the podcast. Yeah, probably the biggest are the Jake Puckermans that haven't gone through when "Jesse's Girl" didn't go through, but luckily it's coming through. But when "Jesse's Girl" didn't go through, I almost rioted. But I was like catching up on episodes when I listened back on that. So I was like, there isn't nothing I could do about it.

[28:46] Andrew: Well, and I tried bringing back "Let Me Love You" until you learned a little bit.

[28:49] Carly: I know, I really appreciated that. I was like, Allison understands me because it jukebox your Jolo.

[29:02] Carly: Jukebox Hero.

[29:02] Andrew: I understand.

[29:03] Allison: I understand.

[29:04] Carly: I love Jukebox Hero.

[29:06] Allison: The role you were born to play is one of the best Glee episodes.

[29:09] Carly: Really?

[29:10] Allison: Wow, okay.

[29:11] Carly: That's one of me and my best friend Hannah's favorite Glee episodes. Like when we rewatch random episodes, it's always the role we were born to play.

[29:18] Allison: I'm obsessed with that.

[29:20] Carly: Close enough.

[29:21] Allison: Wait, what does that episode do for you?

[29:23] Carly: I don't know exactly. I think it might just be Jukebox Hero.

[29:28] Allison: Uh-huh.

[29:29] Carly: Um, Everybody Talks, that Kitty and Jake duet, which iconic.

[29:34] Allison: Yeah.

[29:34] Carly: Um, it's just like it's the beginning of the love triangle that I loved so much.

[29:39] Allison: Right.

[29:40] Carly: And then they got rid of it, which I would have really liked them to keep going with the love triangle throughout season four would have made Ryder much more bearable in the back half.

[29:48] Allison: But yes, um, and then they tried to bring it back after Jake.

[29:52] Carly: Oh, it was like horrible.

[29:52] Allison: But yeah, four and and five, just uh completely agree.

[29:59] Carly: Yeah.

[30:00] Allison: But yeah, no, I don't know.

[30:02] Carly: I love Grease. Grease was like one of my first introductions into like musicals when I was younger. So like Grease holds a special place in my heart.

[30:11] Allison: But yeah, no. Like probably one of the only episodes of season four that I'm really like.

[30:16] Carly: I will ride or die for that episode.

[30:18] Allison: Really?

[30:19] Carly: Okay.

[30:20] Allison: That's good. Did you like uh Pink's Hopelessly Devoted to You at the AMAs?

[30:25] Carly: So I actually thought she did good because she they didn't change it, but it was just like I was like, no one in this audience knows the song. I was like, they're all TikTokers who were have never watched Grease in their entire lives. They think Julianne Hough was the original Sandy.

[30:36] Allison: Was the original Sandy.

[30:41] Carly: I did I think Pink really did it justice though. I really, really, really liked that.

[30:46] Allison: Yeah.

[30:47] Carly: No, I agree.

[30:48] Allison: No, I love them.

[30:49] Carly: I thought that was good. I didn't expect that because they canceled the whole they canceled Thriller/Heads Will Roll Glee Cast version by Glee Cast that Chris Brown was supposed to perform.

[30:58] Allison: But wait, wait, what are we supposed to do that?

[31:05] Carly: Oh my god. Like the something anniversary for Thriller.

[31:08] Allison: Uh-huh.

[31:09] Carly: And they canceled on him. Like they were like, sorry, we don't want you to perform like the day before, so then he just didn't show up.

[31:15] Allison: So like, why even schedule that?

[31:17] Carly: Wasn't that something?

[31:18] Allison: Somebody said Chris Brown, and people were like booing.

[31:21] Carly: Yeah, he won an award, I think, and people booed that he won.

[31:25] Allison: But they're like, you voted for him.

[31:27] Carly: Yeah.

[31:28] Allison: Yeah.

[31:30] Carly: Right.

[31:31] Allison: Interesting.

[31:32] Carly: Hmm.

[31:32] Allison: Okay.

[31:33] Andrew: Uh um, what songs, Carly?

[31:35] Carly: Are we uh I I was thinking back like Glee's songs that we still have left. I think it might be You're the One That I Want.

[31:40] Allison: You're the One That I Want.

[31:44] Carly: Oh.

[31:45] Allison: Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee and Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise). We have both still.

[31:51] Carly: I would be down for a Glee song. I definitely want I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You.

[31:55] Allison: Okay.

[31:56] Carly: Yes. That is my favorite side of all time.

[31:58] Allison: Yes.

[31:58] Carly: That is I will fight for that song, even if it's like up against something that I like really love.

[32:03] Allison: Like I have a whole list too of like songs that I would like really ride or die for.

[32:08] Carly: Yeah.

[32:08] Allison: Like my bulletproof hospitality list. It has like Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You, Some Are Only We Know.

[32:13] Carly: Right.

[32:14] Allison: Okay, but those two are reversing each other.

[32:16] Carly: I know.

[32:17] Allison: I don't know what I would do.

[32:18] Carly: I once yeah, I don't I really don't know.

[32:21] Allison: We need to consider the talking during I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You.

[32:27] Carly: No, it makes the song I will say that the I the talking during that is all like very quotable things. I think it's very fun.

[32:35] Allison: I don't know. It just like adds to the problem of that competition being a potential.

[32:41] Carly: It's so yeah, I love there.

[32:45] Allison: Yeah, probably a lot of the season two, three stuff that I would like to hear. There's a lot of like Glee's very famous for like randomly for planning mashups, but then also just like randomly throwing in a mashup at like the most weird time.

[32:59] Carly: Yeah, and ones that are like not planned are always better than the ones that are planned.

[33:09] Carly: Yeah, yeah, I love that one.

[33:12] Allison: I watched that episode the other day, actually, because me and my friend are doing a rewatch of the case.

[33:16] Carly: Yes.

[33:18] Allison: But I'm really nervous.

[33:22] Carly: I'm gonna get a bunch of season five songs.

[33:24] Allison: So no.

[33:25] Carly: No, no, no, no.

[33:26] Allison: No, no, no.

[33:27] Carly: Does your shirt say Volaris?

[33:28] Allison: Yes.

[33:29] Carly: As in a court.

[33:30] Allison: Oh that's good.

[33:32] Carly: I love that.

[33:34] Allison: My court of thorns and my friend Hannah got it for me for my birthday.

[33:37] Andrew: Wait, what is it?

[33:38] Carly: You wouldn't understand, Andrew.

[33:39] Andrew: Wait, what is this?

[33:40] Carly: It's a court of thorns and roses.

[33:43] Allison: It is very porn.

[33:48] Andrew: Basically.

[33:48] Carly: Oh, fairy porn?

[33:50] Allison: And it's a good thing.

[33:51] Andrew: Oh, wait, so I don't feel bad for not knowing.

[33:54] Carly: Okay.

[33:55] Allison: No, you don't have to feel bad.

[33:56] Carly: You don't have to be a few.

[33:56] Allison: I thought you were gonna say like it was okay.

[33:58] Carly: Okay.

[33:59] Allison: It's a very feminine series of books that is all over BookTalk, and I personally am obsessed.

[34:05] Carly: I have a shrine to it underneath my uh TV.

[34:09] Allison: If you've ever seen my Instagram stories where I'm zooming in on my TV, you will see all of the court books right underneath because I love those books.

[34:19] Carly: Oh wow, okay they're so good.

[34:21] Allison: I'm obsessed.

[34:23] Carly: Anyways, a glort of thorns and roses, baby.

[34:27] Allison: Literally.

[34:30] Carly: Oh my god, the cops.

[34:31] Allison: See, people always say, oh my god, they're real, but then I'm like, are they?

[34:34] Carly: But they're real.

[34:35] Allison: I guess like we need to like post a picture on Instagram or something.

[34:39] Carly: Like it's not just for the people that come onto the podcast that see it.

[34:43] Allison: Yeah.

[34:45] Andrew: Okay, you were like, I really don't want a bunch of season five.

[34:49] Allison: This is a season five.

[34:51] Andrew: Um here we go.

[34:52] Allison: First song.

[34:53] Carly: Smart, uh funny, super talented, and everyone's a year ago. I would have been a little bit more than a little bit. Yes, these days. I've learned you just gotta go for it.

[35:03] ♪ Musical number: "Addicted to Love" — performed by Artie ♪

[37:14] Allison: It was it's an Artolo.

[37:15] Carly: It's an Artolo that's on the list of Artolos.

[37:18] Allison: Uh-huh.

[37:19] Carly: Yep.

[37:20] Allison: People are saying that.

[37:21] Carly: Um, and we were just talking, Andrew, about how Under the Sea kind of feels slow.

[37:28] Allison: Uh nobody's moving fast in this video.

[37:31] Carly: No.

[37:31] Allison: We need to speed it up an octave.

[37:34] Carly: Speed it up.

[37:34] Allison: Like 1.25 times.

[37:37] Carly: Right, right, right.

[37:37] Allison: And uh, yeah.

[37:40] Carly: Artie was just not, Artie was just like, I'm relaxed.

[37:44] Allison: He phoned this one in.

[37:45] Carly: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[37:47] Allison: Okay, Carly, what are we thinking?

[37:49] Carly: Um, you know.

[37:51] Allison: It's honestly episode had iconic moments. Like on my TikTok today, not kidding. My like the video, the scene where Sam is literally like, I'm slut shaming you, Artie.

[38:01] Carly: Yeah.

[38:01] Allison: Literally popped up on my for you page today, which that's just like really weird.

[38:05] Carly: Yeah.

[38:05] Allison: Um I did see that today.

[38:08] Carly: Um, but you know, he had chlamydia.

[38:13] Allison: Right.

[38:13] Carly: I don't know. I really Kevin McHale has such a good voice.

[38:17] Allison: Like, if he like if he looked like Cory Monteith, like unfortunately, like reality of the world, like he really should have been like the male vocal lead of the he honestly had the best male vocals, like of the OG new directions.

[38:34] Carly: Well, I think that like wasn't like Finn's uh was Finn supposed to have that great of a voice, though.

[38:42] Allison: You know?

[38:43] Carly: That's the other thing. Like I don't think that he was supposed to be like the best male vocalist for the Glee Club.

[38:51] Allison: I don't know. Because I think about that too because I think it would have been like almost like too much if it was just like Finn and Rachel both had the the best voices.

[39:00] Carly: Yeah.

[39:01] Allison: And they were the the top couple and the top characters and everything.

[39:03] Carly: I don't know. But I agree with you.

[39:06] Allison: Kevin McHale's Kevin McKell just is so talented.

[39:09] Carly: And they put him in a wheelchair.

[39:10] Allison: Yeah.

[39:11] Carly: I know.

[39:12] Allison: Something you could not have done.

[39:14] Carly: They had no dancers and yet no yeah.

[39:19] Allison: Um what are you thinking Andrew?

[39:21] Andrew: I don't know. I just like I empty mind for this one honestly.

[39:25] Allison: Yeah addicted to love.

[39:26] Andrew: Addicted to love I like the um I don't know if you're familiar with the Florence in the Machine cover version um where it's like stripped down and it's like it's we were talking about speeding it up but it's even more slow but it works and it's fun and I never reach for the original version.

[39:46] Allison: I needed to look it up during this performance.

[39:49] Andrew: It's by Robert Palmer.

[39:51] Allison: Um whoever the fuck that is who the hell are you um but I never reach for your version.

[39:57] Andrew: I reach for Florence's and I don't reach for the Artie I think that like he sounds good.

[40:01] Allison: There's no arguing that's it I almost feel like it's the same thing as like Mer Mercolo's where it's like they sound good.

[40:08] Andrew: They very good but the songs are just so not memorable.

[40:12] Allison: Right.

[40:12] Andrew: Yeah I don't know I'm not I'm not searching for this song where Artie's a admitting to his sex addiction.

[40:20] Allison: Right.

[40:21] Carly: Um, but it did a little bit triggering um to be making out on a twin XL mattress.

[40:28] Allison: Sure.

[40:28] Carly: I was like, oh no, not again.

[40:32] Allison: Yeah.

[40:32] Carly: Um it yeah, it uh I'm really reaching for things to say about addicted to love.

[40:40] Allison: Can we think of one more thing to say about Addicted to Love?

[40:43] Carly: Like I almost want to go to Glee Wiki and see what Glee Wiki has to say.

[40:47] Allison: Wait, what a you know what it's been in?

[40:49] Carly: The Glee song opinion form?

[40:50] Allison: It's been a minute since we went to the Glee song opinion form.

[40:53] Carly: Yeah.

[40:54] Allison: I would like to see if anyone even remembers enough about this song to have put an opinion.

[40:58] Carly: Yeah, we're gonna.

[40:59] Allison: Let's see.

[40:59] Carly: Um okay, we have might have to slut shame Artie.

[41:03] Allison: For fuck's sake, what the hell is happening right now?

[41:05] Carly: I have no idea what this song is.

[41:07] Allison: Yep.

[41:08] Carly: Not a fan of Artie.

[41:09] Allison: Thin tone thin thin thin.

[41:11] Carly: What does that mean?

[41:12] Allison: Um skinny legend?

[41:14] Carly: I don't know.

[41:15] Allison: Skinny legend Artie Abrams.

[41:17] Carly: I can't tell if I like the song or I I love Kevin McHale's voice.

[41:20] Allison: I think the latter probably.

[41:23] Carly: Um Gross.

[41:25] Allison: Is anyone shocked that Artie's a slut?

[41:28] Carly: No, I don't think so.

[41:29] Allison: Only Artolo, I will go out of my way to listen to.

[41:32] Carly: Okay.

[41:33] Allison: Really?

[41:33] Carly: Brave to say whoever this is.

[41:36] Allison: Response 133.

[41:37] Carly: Who are you?

[41:39] Allison: Um Kellen.

[41:40] Carly: Okay, Kelly.

[41:41] Allison: Kellen Golding.

[41:42] Carly: Um, wait, how do I get back?

[41:44] Allison: First last name, I guess.

[41:45] Carly: God.

[41:46] Allison: Um, all right.

[41:48] Carly: Well, anyway.

[41:49] Allison: The the Glee Wiki says this song was also sung in the season two episode actability of the Glee Project.

[41:56] Carly: It was.

[41:57] Allison: Ooh.

[41:58] Carly: It was.

[42:00] Allison: Mm-hmm.

[42:01] Carly: Oh gosh.

[42:02] Allison: Is that when they were like making out of the case?

[42:05] Carly: Yeah.

[42:05] Allison: I they they make out like during like a few of those homework assignments.

[42:09] Carly: Yeah.

[42:09] Allison: Yeah.

[42:10] Carly: Everyone saw season one and was like, oh, we need to like kiss to win this.

[42:13] Allison: We need to kiss to be like Cameron Mitchell and Lindsay Pierce.

[42:16] Carly: My favorite thing is.

[42:17] Allison: And then it says Wait, oh, no, go ahead.

[42:20] Carly: No, you say it.

[42:21] Allison: Okay.

[42:23] Carly: Oh, okay.

[42:24] Allison: I'll say it.

[42:25] Carly: Um, my favorite thing about Glee Project homework assignments is that um whenever like they all like have their part to sing. Like they're like like literally like seven words to sing, and as they're getting finished, the next person literally shoves them out of the way, regardless of like if the song like calls for shoving.

[42:45] Allison: It's like they're shoving anyway.

[42:48] Carly: So yeah.

[42:49] Allison: That's that's what I wanted to say.

[42:50] Carly: Your turn.

[42:51] Allison: Thank you.

[42:51] Carly: No, I liked it.

[42:52] Allison: I I and I do agree with you.

[42:54] Carly: Um the Glee Wiki says this is Artie's 100th solo in a performance.

[43:00] Allison: Oh.

[43:00] Carly: I was like, Artie has a hundred solos, but no.

[43:05] Allison: It's his 100th solo and a performance.

[43:08] Carly: So I guess that includes songs where he just sings a verse or a chorus.

[43:13] Allison: Right.

[43:13] Carly: Or anyways.

[43:19] Allison: Really plenty here.

[43:20] Carly: Um it could get worse.

[43:22] Allison: Great job, Kevin.

[43:23] Carly: I'm hoping better.

[43:25] Allison: Yeah, you sound agree.

[43:26] Carly: Oh my god, give it up for Kevin.

[43:29] Allison: That was a really good one.

[43:30] Andrew: Really good.

[43:31] Allison: Okay, let's see if we can do better though. Um, okay.

[43:35] Carly: Okay.

[43:35] Andrew: Oh no. Um, I think it's fun. It features Artie, but not singing. Anyone wanna say stab in the dark?

[43:47] Carly: What season?

[43:48] Andrew: It's from season three.

[43:50] Carly: Oh.

[43:51] Allison: Not singing.

[43:52] Carly: But featured.

[43:53] Andrew: So is he rapping?

[43:55] Allison: No, no, no. He's not singing at all. He did not go into the studio. It's like someone else is singing for like an Artie storyline. You know what I mean? Like Artie's like it's like a clip show of like Artie doing things as other people are singing.

[44:09] Carly: Is he working out? Is it up up?

[44:11] Andrew: It is not. That's a really good guess, though. Um, I'll show wait. How about if I show you the first? You know what it is.

[44:19] Carly: Maybe. Oh!

[44:20] Allison: Oh my god!

[44:21] Carly: I do.

[44:22] Allison: Oh my god, this is the Valentine's Day episode, isn't it?

[44:24] Carly: It is the Valentine's Day episode.

[44:25] Allison: This is um heart.

[44:27] Carly: Yes. Um, it's the song Rory sings.

[44:29] Andrew: Um it's not the song Rory sings. It's okay. It's it's love by Mike and Tina.

[44:39] Carly: For an Artie storyline.

[44:41] Andrew: Yeah, it's because him and Rory are fed over.

[46:42] ♪ Musical number: "L-O-V-E" — performed by Mike and Tina ♪

[46:42] Allison: Okay, I don't know why I was being a hater at the beginning. I thought that was amazing.

[46:42] Carly: That was really cute.

[46:42] Andrew: That's cute. I love that.

[46:42] Allison: Yeah.

[46:42] Andrew: What are we thinking? Notes on love by Mike and Tina.

[46:46] Carly: Um, Tina deserves more. Justice for Janoshkowitz. Um.

[46:52] Allison: But well, I mean, after season three, I mean, does she, but her character.

[46:56] Carly: Character assassination of Tina Cohen Chang, yes.

[46:59] Andrew: Yes. Um, but no, I love that. Also, I hate how they like made it out like Mike couldn't sing and he was just and then like five episodes later, they were like, oh, by the way, he's gonna be playing um like the lead in the side story.

[47:21] Carly: He sounds good.

[47:22] Andrew: I'll say it makes sense. He does sound very good on this track.

[47:25] Allison: Yeah.

[47:26] Andrew: They sound very good in our track. What are you saying, Alison?

[47:29] Allison: I love Glee Sing's love songs. So I do love this MP3.

[47:46] Carly: So this sequence is not in my mind's eye at the front of mind. So it was kind of fun to see how this is playing out. Rory looks damn good in this. Like David McGinty looks really good in this song.

[48:03] Andrew: Oh.

[48:04] Carly: Okay. Hot fluffy hair. I'm like, okay.

[48:09] Allison: I really liked it. My one comment is don't get people dogs as presents.

[48:17] Andrew: Do not.

[48:18] Carly: Right. Especially like how did Rory know that the plush toy that Artie was going to get was a Scotty dog.

[48:27] Allison: Yeah.

[48:28] Carly: And it was like, it almost like feels like they're both in on it. And it's like fun.

[48:32] Andrew: Are they working together?

[48:36] Carly: True. I don't know. Um, I don't like it.

[48:39] Allison: Yeah, I totally agree. Do not get people dogs as presents.

[48:42] Carly: Absolutely not.

[48:40] Andrew: Do not get people presents as well.

[48:46] Carly: Exactly. For like 18 years. It's like, I don't know.

[48:49] Andrew: 18 years?

[48:49] Carly: How long does Scotty's gonna do?

[48:51] Allison: Little dogs like that, little dogs like that live a fuck long time.

[48:54] Carly: Uh-huh.

[48:54] Andrew: Okay. Um, I I will say I had a lot more notes about this song than I thought that I would. Um, okay. Mike and Tina, their entire career up until this point, um, has been just reaction shots of other people's performances. And so it's like almost like insult to not have anybody there watching this.

[49:15] Carly: Yeah.

[49:15] Andrew: And it's like we're so random. Like, why were they just in the choir? Like, could they at least like just like get everybody else? Like, Jesus Christ, we all needed to like watch like Rachel sing like a hundred goddamn rollouts. But like, like Rachel couldn't be there to watch this. I don't know. Maybe it's like it's just cute and for them, but like I just I wanted everybody to witness this. Um one of two type duets. Um It also brings up the question of when is Glee Club happening? That they are in the room in the middle of the day, yeah, breaking out into a random song.

[49:51] Allison: What's your theory?

[49:52] Andrew: It's like John Locke, pull it up. Johnny Tromboner, yeah. Come on in, we need you to play that.

[49:59] Carly: Yeah, constantly around.

[50:01] Andrew: Carly, when do you think it's happening?

[50:03] Carly: I think it's a both situation. Cause like my high school had like drama and like we had dance as a class period. Like I take dance class like two times a day at in like as a school rated period. And then after school I'd go to more dance. So like for my school. So I feel like it's like a double thing where like they have like choir as like a class period. But that's what I'm thinking.

[50:26] Allison: It's only the kids.

[50:28] Andrew: I just watched um the episode Asian F again, and Mercedes comes into Glee Club, um, and they're like, Where were you? She's like, I overslept. And then Quinn's like, it's 4 30 in the afternoon. It's 4 30 in the afternoon. And it's like, ooh, okay, we're finally getting timestamp.

[50:47] Carly: Ooh, that's good.

[50:49] Andrew: Yeah, I never thought of it in that context. He always hands out assignments. So like the assignments happen during the school day, and then the competition, the songs where they're like, we could perform this at a competition, happen after school. That's my theory.

[51:01] Allison: Yeah.

[51:02] Andrew: Ooh, okay. I'm willing to get on board with that. I don't know how that holds up continuity wise.

[51:08] Carly: But I also continuity who I feel like every time that we have this conversation, I feel like I just need to say at the end of it, we are putting more thought into it than the writers every day. Um okay. My next note about this song, sugar. She is not fucking eating cafeteria food. I am so sorry.

[51:27] Allison: No.

[51:27] Andrew: God.

[51:28] Carly: She's got her bento box of caviar. And yeah, she's not doing that. Um I love how excited she gets over like one little small heart, too. Like there's like the character that's like the ritual.

[51:40] Allison: Right.

[51:40] Carly: Like she's so excited over like the small little heart. I was like, go off an SLNGs. It's very cute.

[51:45] Andrew: Yeah.

[51:45] Carly: Always in her bag. Um I will say Artie Locker Hijinx. Um, I didn't realize has like a follow-up in season five with the kitty. Remember when like you've got to hide your love away when they're like doing like the locker thing.

[52:01] Allison: Yeah.

[52:01] Carly: The lights and the roofs.

[52:03] Andrew: Yeah, it was like look up.

[52:05] Carly: Yeah, like look up and like, yeah. I don't know. I I I don't know if that was a callback to this performance or I don't know, but that's just his thing is to put things on the ceiling.

[52:15] Allison: He's like, he gets into the lockers, yeah.

[52:18] Carly: Personally, I would kind of be annoyed. I'd have to clean that up. Like, who's cleaning the club after?

[52:22] Andrew: That's true.

[52:25] Carly: Yeah.

[52:26] Andrew: And that's that's all I have for love. Gleak has version by Gleika. For love.

[52:30] Allison: Addicted to love versus love.

[52:33] Carly: Oh.

[52:34] Andrew: A theme. Last time a year, but a theme.

[52:38] Allison: It's not Valentine's Day just yet. Um.

[52:42] Andrew: Oh god. I think. Simply because L-O-V-E, it reminds me of the parent trap of it all. And um, it is on Glee Sing's love songs, which is I looked at it the other day much longer than you think it is.

[53:00] Carly: Wait, what else is on that playlist?

[53:02] Andrew: Every love song ever. Like Teenage Dream, fucking, even I I'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you is probably on there. Like it's it's long.

[53:11] Carly: Uh-huh.

[53:11] Andrew: It's a big old big old one.

[53:13] Carly: They didn't make any cuts.

[53:13] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[53:14] Carly: They didn't make any cuts. They were like every single thing about love.

[53:17] Andrew: Yeah.

[53:17] Carly: Um, which is like 90% of music. So but addicted to love, I don't believe is on there.

[53:24] Allison: Oh.

[53:24] Andrew: So that's why I'm voting L O V.

[53:26] Allison: Playing by those rules.

[53:28] Andrew: Yeah.

[53:28] Carly: I I have to vote for L O V E. Like Tina and Mike deserve it. And I doubt their season two duet. Did it go through? Has it been even voted?

[53:39] Allison: It did not go through.

[53:40] Carly: Yeah. This one is for King of Kong Chang.

[53:44] Andrew: Yeah.

[53:45] Carly: Go off.

[53:46] Andrew: Wait, where do we stand? Tyke versus Artina.

[53:49] Allison: Oh, I was gonna say Mina, because I was like, what is their ship name? What is their ship name? Nina, Mina, Mina? No, that doesn't sound right. Carly, what do you think? Tyke versus Artina.

[53:56] Carly: Tyke.

[53:59] Andrew: Yeah.

[53:59] Carly: Tyke.

[54:00] Andrew: I would say so too.

[54:02] Allison: Mm-hmm.

[54:03] Carly: That's what I'm saying. Like, I mean, if you watch season one back, already kind of sucked.

[54:08] Andrew: Tatina.

[54:09] Carly: That's kind of yeah, awful to Tina.

[54:12] Allison: Yeah.

[54:13] Carly: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[54:15] Andrew: Mike, he's just so cute.

[54:18] Carly: I know.

[54:19] Andrew: I love him.

[54:20] Allison: Okay.

[54:21] Carly: Not season five.

[54:22] Andrew: Not season five.

[54:24] Carly: Not season five.

[54:26] Andrew: Oh.

[54:26] Allison: Wait.

[54:27] Carly: Oh my god.

[54:28] Andrew: Oh my god, I'm so scared.

[54:30] Carly: Audio medium. Allison is Alison is what?

[54:33] Andrew: Doing cartwheels.

[54:34] Carly: I'm screaming. I'm doing cartwheels. I'm doing backflips. I did a full Sean Johnson floor routine just now.

[54:40] Allison: Oh wow.

[54:42] Carly: That's a deep cut. Nobody's gonna know who Sean Johnson is anymore. Um, okay.

[54:49] Andrew: Thank you. Um, okay. Do we know what it is just from looking at this?

[54:56] Carly: Oh, you know what?

[54:59] Allison: This is okay. Wait, wait, wait. We need to explain for the glisteners because this is like a Okay, the glisteners, all we see is an I am message from Ryder.

[55:07] Andrew: That's Ryder from the Hot Men of McKinley calendar. Um, with him with the Valentine's Day.

[55:14] Carly: I know what it is junk. I know what it is.

[55:15] Allison: Oh my god.

[55:16] Carly: Say it.

[55:18] Allison: Um, it's I still believe super base.

[55:20] Carly: Yep.

[55:21] Andrew: Oh my god.

[55:30] ♪ Musical number: "Love Again" — performed by Carly ♪

[57:50] Carly: I had a dream that one day you and me will find ourselves in love again.

[58:03] Andrew: Yeah, that's the love base.

[58:08] Carly: Oh baby, yeah.

[58:10] Carly: Oh baby, yeah.

[58:11] Carly: Chef's kiss.

[58:13] Carly: Chef's kiss.

[58:13] Andrew: Wow.

[58:14] Andrew: Hospitality written all over it.

[58:17] Andrew: Um, I'm gonna say it. This is maybe the first time it really hit for me.

[58:23] Carly: Me too, dude. Like, I think it really hit for me before this.

[58:28] Carly: I hear the MP3 all the time on the Gleek the Week Remaining Songs playlist, but I haven't watched the MP4 in a while.

[58:36] Andrew: And this, I was like, okay. You have to consider the MP4 when it comes to the Glack.

[58:42] Carly: That's number one rule of the Glacket. You have to consider the MP4.

[58:44] Andrew: Yes.

[58:47] Andrew: Yep. Carly, what is your relationship with I Still Believe slash Superbass?

[58:52] Carly: Glee Cast version by none other than Diggly Cast.

[58:55] Carly: Diggly cast. Um, I love that performance. That is just like an iconic thing.

[59:02] Carly: Like, I wrote down one, I love Darren Chris.

[59:06] Andrew: As like.

[59:09] Carly: Yes.

[59:10] Carly: And then Becky also fangirling over Darren Chris.

[59:14] Andrew: Menage!

[59:15] Carly: Yes. It's so Trinidadian roots.

[59:21] Carly: Her Trinidadian roots. Um this is so problematic. Because why was Sue Sylvester rapping Nicki Minaj?

[59:32] Carly: And then I asked. How much did they pay Jane Lynch to do this? I it looked like she had a good time doing it. I'll say that.

[59:39] Andrew: I don't think that they needed to, you know, convince her to do this.

[59:43] Carly: She wanted something in the game.

[59:46] Andrew: You don't think that they needed some—

[59:47] Carly: No, I think at this point in the game, she's just like, yeah, fuck it.

[59:52] Carly: Fuck it. Yeah. Fuck it. I still believe Superbass.

[59:55] Andrew: Uh-huh. Yeah.

[59:56] Carly: Um is the play on words Sue per base. Is that like is that what we're supposed to be getting, or am I just reaching too far?

[1:00:06] Andrew: I like the—

[1:00:08] Carly: No, I like it. Makes sense.

[1:00:09] Andrew: Okay. Um thanks. The neon lips, the black light of it all. Incredible.

[1:00:19] Carly: I love Becky going up to John Locke and being like, play fucking super bass.

[1:00:24] Carly: Super bass. Um and that just whipping out where did those instruments come from?

[1:00:31] Carly: The like the I can't even impersonate. But like where did those instruments come from?

[1:00:37] Andrew: I don't know. That doesn't make any sense. Uh, but I loved it.

[1:00:42] Carly: Uh absolutely like when you think of Glee at its campiest, yeah, this should be one of the first things you think of.

[1:00:50] Carly: I think. So good. And this was like when people were like not even like actively watching it.

[1:00:57] Carly: I think that people for the most part fell off. This is like deep into season four.

[1:01:03] Carly: You know, people like watched like the first few episodes of season four and they're like, Marley, bleh, bye.

[1:01:09] Andrew: Um The new Rachel Bh. And so like people, I feel like people have recently discovered this song because they just weren't watching it and they were like, oh my god, this is simply iconic.

[1:01:20] Carly: Um, I do want to bring attention to the fact that prior Gleek of the Week, Amelia um has sent a slideshow presentation um explaining to us why I still believe Superbass is a top-tier glee song.

[1:01:36] Andrew: Okay, I'm just gonna go through this slideshow.

[1:01:38] Carly: You can't share your screen.

[1:01:40] Andrew: Oh, wait, can I wait? Maybe I can. Actually, wait, that's such a great idea. Airdrop it.

[1:01:46] Carly: There we go. It's a whole production over here. Um, so why I still believe Super Bass is a top-tier glee song and should go through on the Glacket. XOXO Amelia.

[1:01:58] Andrew: Um, the clip which we just watched. Um we're not gonna watch it again.

[1:02:03] Carly: Um why defend I still believe supere cast version by Glee Cast. Alice and Andrew, especially Andrew, enjoy slandering this song.

[1:02:11] Andrew: Which I don't bring up the MP3 of me's slander.

[1:02:14] Carly: Slander it.

[1:02:15] Andrew: Okay. Have I slandered it?

[1:02:18] Carly: I don't know if we slander it. I think we do like joke about it.

[1:02:22] Andrew: Okay.

[1:02:23] Carly: Yeah, we it it might be the butt of our jokes, but I don't know if that's is that slander, probably.

[1:02:28] Andrew: Slander, but I will say again that this is the first time that the song really hit for me. So maybe I did speak ill of it in the past.

[1:02:35] Carly: Um, Miss Mojo, he might gotta know he might get anyway.

[1:02:40] Carly: Lyric changes. Miss Mojo herself has called it the seventh worst cover on Glee.

[1:02:46] Andrew: Which is kind of—

[1:02:46] Carly: Miss Mojo is my god, so yeah. Hi, you're you're watching Miss Mojo.

[1:02:52] Andrew: Um and Amelia says, I believe it is top tier.

[1:02:57] Carly: Um, Blanex Sue Duet, the only one we get in the series, which is like, okay, wait, did you expect more? Did we want that?

[1:03:04] Andrew: I mean, like, I guess this was fun, but like, I don't know.

[1:03:08] Carly: Also, the picture that they have here, we need to reference um the small motocross bike that they had in this performance, which I feel like is the MVP. I love it. I'm obsessed.

[1:03:18] Carly: And the platform. Where the hell did the platform I think it's the same one that they use from Saturday Night Gleaver? Just gonna put it out there.

[1:03:25] Andrew: Ooh, altered.

[1:03:26] Carly: Maybe.

[1:03:27] Andrew: Could be.

[1:03:27] Carly: Yeah.

[1:03:28] Carly: Could be. Um Darren Chris singing Mariah Carey.

[1:03:31] Andrew: The mmm, oh yeah, at the beginning.

[1:03:33] Carly: Oh baby, yeah, I still believe.

[1:03:35] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[1:03:36] Carly: Yeah. You simply have to.

[1:03:38] Andrew: Uh, how long is this slideshow?

[1:03:39] Carly: Actually, Darren Chris singing Mariah Carey. Do I need to say more? Do I need to say more?

[1:03:44] Carly: Um, Jane Lynch rapping super bass. He cold, he broke, he might be broke. He always in the air, but he never fly coach.

[1:03:50] Andrew: Um, I would agree.

[1:03:52] Carly: And again, a gif of um of Jane Lynch in a Nicki Minaj wig wig.

[1:03:58] Carly: Um Cheerios dressed as Nicki Minaj, yes.

[1:04:01] Andrew: Yep.

[1:04:02] Carly: Um, part of a wonderful episode for songs, including How to Be a Heartbreaker for by Birdie and Rachel, The Bitches Back dress you up, uh dress you up in my love by Ryder and Unique, and Cold Hearted by Santana.

[1:04:12] Andrew: We can ignore bye-bye bye.

[1:04:14] Carly: I want it that way.

[1:04:15] Andrew: And closer.

[1:04:18] Carly: I love bye bye bye. I want it that way. That's like come I have that on my all my glee playlists.

[1:04:24] Andrew: That doesn't do much for me.

[1:04:25] Carly: And I let it play. It's like a deep cut, but I like that one.

[1:04:28] Andrew: Okay.

[1:04:28] Carly: Yeah.

[1:04:29] Carly: Yeah.

[1:04:29] Andrew: We pulled closer in the last episode.

[1:04:33] Carly: And it is going through.

[1:04:35] Andrew: It's going through. What is your relationship with closer, Carly?

[1:04:39] Carly: I don't even that might be like the one song I don't even remember from this episode. Because I like can fully like describe scene by scene the rest of these songs.

[1:04:47] Carly: Yeah.

[1:04:48] Carly: But probably could not do it for closer.

[1:04:51] Andrew: A little bit closer.

[1:04:53] Carly: Oh yeah.

[1:04:54] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:04:55] Carly: Oh.

[1:04:56] Carly: What was it against?

[1:04:58] Andrew: Closer was against.

[1:04:59] Carly: Oh, fly, I believe I can fly.

[1:05:01] Andrew: Oh, the other Nicki Minaj.

[1:05:05] Carly: You're kidding.

[1:05:06] Andrew: And closer one.

[1:05:08] Carly: Listen, I voted. I voted for the fly mashup. I think it's another random mashup that was better than a planned mashup.

[1:05:16] Andrew: Exactly. It is one of the best matchups.

[1:05:18] Carly: Oh my god, I'm so sad. This scene gives us more Cheiro Blane.

[1:05:23] Andrew: Yeah, Cheryl Blame was an era. Which I think that Ryan Murphy specifically wanted to um to see Darren Chris in an outfit.

[1:05:31] Carly: Yeah.

[1:05:31] Carly: Um the MP3, three minutes and twelve seconds is such a good song length. Which is like Amelia, I can't I can't disagree with you there.

[1:05:39] Andrew: Um the flow back and forth between Blaine and Sue is perfection.

[1:05:43] Carly: Notes from the Glee Wiki. As Becky turns off the lights, we see Sue and the Cheerios performing together, then we hear Blaine's voice singing the line, I still believe, but his face is stunned by Sue's choreography and his lips aren't moving.

[1:05:54] Andrew: Okay, wait. Amelia, why would you bring up a point?

[1:05:58] Carly: I feel like this is a detriment.

[1:06:00] Andrew: Yeah, that that's not good.

[1:06:01] Carly: That's not good, Amelia.

[1:06:03] Carly: Um, and I will be thinking about that when I go to the polls. Uh when Sue is riding the bike, she is heard singing boom boom boom boom, but is shown with her mouth open while grinning.

[1:06:13] Andrew: Again, Amelia, this is not good.

[1:06:17] Carly: This is the episode Jane Lynch submitted to the Emmy Awards in the outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series category.

[1:06:24] Andrew: As she should.

[1:06:26] Carly: Alright.

[1:06:27] Carly: Thank you for your time, and I hope you consider pushing I Still Believe Super Bass through the second round of the Glackett.

[1:06:33] Andrew: And thank you, Ryan Murphy, for this number.

[1:06:36] Carly: Thank you, Amelia.

[1:06:37] Andrew: Thank you, Amelia.

[1:06:39] Carly: The dedication to I still Believe Super Bass.

[1:06:42] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:06:43] Carly: Um iconic. I feel like we've we really talked a lot about this song. Are we ready for the next one?

[1:06:48] Andrew: Yes.

[1:06:49] Carly: Yes.

[1:06:50] Andrew: Okay. Because if it's against something good, this could be the hard one.

[1:06:53] Carly: We'll see.

[1:06:53] Andrew: We'll see.

[1:06:57] Carly: Oh no.

[1:06:59] Andrew: I mentioned it at the beginning, Carly, when you were talking about um your ringtone.

[1:07:09] Carly: Oh.

[1:07:16] Andrew: Wait, what?

[1:07:17] Carly: You know what it is.

[1:07:18] Andrew: You know what it is.

[1:07:20] Carly: Yes, I think so.

[1:07:23] Allison: We're looking at hands on a stereo.

[1:07:24] Andrew: Hands.

[1:07:24] Carly: On a stereo.

[1:07:30] Andrew: I don't know.

[1:07:32] Carly: And I can I've already forgotten the conversation we had earlier.

[1:07:43] Carly: And April.

[1:07:45] Andrew: The liquor cabinet is off limits.

[1:09:33] Carly: One less pick to fly one less man to pick up after no more laughter, no more when away chair is still a chair even when there's no one sitting there to live along, turn this house into a hall where I climb the stair and turn a key.

[1:10:46] Andrew: Oh please be there with me to answer each time the doorbell rings, I still pick up that.

[1:12:12] Carly: Good night.

[1:12:16] Andrew: Okay.

[1:12:17] Carly: Yeah.

[1:12:17] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:12:17] Carly: Top ten for me.

[1:12:21] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:12:22] Carly: Yeah, it hits.

[1:12:23] Andrew: I'm sorry.

[1:12:24] Carly: Wow, wow, wow, wow.

[1:12:26] Andrew: Sorry, Amelia.

[1:12:27] Carly: Amelia.

[1:12:27] Andrew: Ooh, God.

[1:12:31] Andrew: This hit.

[1:12:32] Carly: I Carly, what are you thinking about?

[1:12:36] Andrew: I don't remember it being that long.

[1:12:38] Carly: It's very long.

[1:12:40] Andrew: Longer than I thought it was.

[1:12:41] Carly: Let's see.

[1:12:42] Andrew: How long does it come in at?

[1:12:43] Carly: Four minutes and 40 seconds.

[1:12:46] Andrew: Wow, and a 45-minute episode of Glee.

[1:12:49] Carly: That I hold to a very high standard.

[1:12:51] Andrew: I love those four minutes and 40 seconds.

[1:12:54] Carly: Yeah, this is definitely a top tier.

[1:12:56] Andrew: What are they? What's their together name?

[1:12:59] Carly: Oh, what we talked about it. Uh Roadster.

[1:13:01] Andrew: A roadster duet.

[1:13:02] Carly: Roadster.

[1:13:04] Andrew: Top to a roadster duet.

[1:13:05] Carly: Roadster duet.

[1:13:07] Andrew: Sure.

[1:13:07] Carly: Like definitely top three.

[1:13:09] Andrew: Oh, yeah.

[1:13:10] Carly: Number one.

[1:13:12] Andrew: I don't know if there's a better one.

[1:13:13] Carly: Wait. Dreams is my favorite roadster duet.

[1:13:16] Andrew: Okay.

[1:13:16] Carly: Streams is pretty good.

[1:13:17] Andrew: You can have it.

[1:13:18] Carly: Yeah.

[1:13:18] Andrew: Um.

[1:13:20] Carly: Yeah.

[1:13:21] Andrew: That doesn't hit for anyone.

[1:13:22] Carly: No, it does hit.

[1:13:23] Andrew: It does hit.

[1:13:24] Carly: Um, and I would say I would say that's top three for me.

[1:13:24] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:13:24] Carly: I would say that's number two.

[1:13:29] Andrew: Um, I love this. Wait, Carly, do you have any initial thoughts after this?

[1:13:35] Carly: I think Kristen Chenoweth was probably one of the best things that happened to season one of Glee. I think it brought in just like a whole audience of people to watch, like an older audience who followed Kristen Chenoweth on Broadway. Like it made the parents watch the kids, like I think for the first time. So I don't know. It just like I love Kristen Chenoweth. And she looks so good here, like gorgeous, gorgeous girl.

[1:14:03] Andrew: Why did everyone wear those like weird pajama things though in Glee?

[1:14:07] Carly: Like Emma wore it.

[1:14:08] Andrew: Oh the short short yeah, the nightgowns that are like sort of just like right past your private area.

[1:14:16] Carly: Yeah.

[1:14:16] Andrew: Yeah, your cooter, yeah.

[1:14:18] Carly: Yeah, your cootermenkins.

[1:14:20] Andrew: Your cootermanckens.

[1:14:22] Carly: Um yeah, I love this. I went through an entire era. I think I brought this up in the like a previous episode, but I'll elaborate. I went through an entire era of listening to this, my sophomore year of college, where I would just like play this every single day when I was in the shower and just like just on fucking blast. And the people in my fucking dorm building probably hated me.

[1:14:45] Andrew: But it is probably where'd she go?

[1:14:48] Carly: We lost her.

[1:14:50] Andrew: Oh, she's coming back.

[1:14:53] Carly: My mom.

[1:14:53] Andrew: Oh, for something.

[1:14:54] Carly: It's my mom.

[1:14:56] Andrew: Hi, Carly's mom.

[1:14:58] Carly's Mom: Hello.

[1:15:00] Carly: I'm waiting.

[1:15:01] Andrew: You can go, yeah.

[1:15:02] Carly's Mom: No.

[1:15:04] Carly: Bye.

[1:15:07] Andrew: Wait, is everything okay?

[1:15:09] Carly: Yes, everything's fine. I'm home for the holidays.

[1:15:11] Andrew: So dancing with the stars is on.

[1:15:14] Carly: Dancing with the stars is that.

[1:15:15] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:15:16] Carly: Wait, was she holding like a bowl of popcorn?

[1:15:19] Andrew: No, she was holding, I think she was having like ice cream or something.

[1:15:22] Carly: She had like a coffee plug.

[1:15:23] Andrew: Probably coffee or something.

[1:15:25] Carly: I love. Um love this song. Um, an inspired mashup. Sorry, I'm just reading my notes at this point. No, uh, okay, yeah, college era. Um, it's a going to bed anthem. I think that we should all take note from Roadster and just go to bed singing this every single night of our lives. Um, and also my final note um Mr. Schuster has so much storage space in his apartment.

[1:15:54] Andrew: That entire wall, did you notice that?

[1:15:56] Carly: The entire wall, it was just like it was um wall-to-wall, like um closet space. And I'm like, mm, I love what a great one.

[1:16:05] Andrew: Yeah, well, he's got a lot more room because as Terry moved out at this point.

[1:16:08] Carly: Terry has moved out, yes.

[1:16:10] Andrew: That's why she was not also in bed with April.

[1:16:13] Carly: I well, okay. Yeah, that makes sense then.

[1:16:15] Andrew: Yeah. Um, no, this is very, very good. This is a very extremely hard competition, personally. I don't have the attachment to this song that you do, Andrew. I understand that you really, really, really love it. This is like a weird, because it's not on volume one.

[1:16:36] Carly: No.

[1:16:37] Andrew: It's not. Wait, maybe I think it might actually be.

[1:16:40] Carly: I know that they sang.

[1:16:41] Andrew: Is it volume two?

[1:16:43] Carly: It's on um, it's on volume three.

[1:16:46] Andrew: Gotcha, gotcha. Wait, Glee the Music Volume 3.

[1:16:50] Carly: Oh, is that like Showstoppers, the green one?

[1:16:53] Andrew: It's um, yes. The green one.

[1:16:56] Carly: See, famously have not listened to that as much.

[1:16:59] Andrew: You know what? It's track listing.

[1:17:03] Carly: Oh, yeah, okay.

[1:17:05] Andrew: So, yes, it is on volume three. Um, the thing about this song is that they already sang um A House Is Not a Home.

[1:17:09] Carly: House is not a home earlier in this episode, which is the only time that this has happened with a Glee song. But they sing it again in the same episode, but then just mashed up with another song.

[1:17:25] Andrew: But mashed up by the lovely Barbara Streisand.

[1:17:29] Carly: There's so many songs that are like not Barbara songs, but they're Barbara adjacent.

[1:17:33] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:17:34] Carly: And then they're like, Mar!

[1:17:37] Andrew: We gotta go.

[1:17:38] Carly: She's in, she's everywhere.

[1:17:39] Andrew: She's in every fucking episode of this goddamn show.

[1:17:42] Carly: Um, I do love this. I Carly, you're gonna have to vote. I know what Andrew's voting for.

[1:17:46] Andrew: Yes, and you're right. Carly, I need to know what you're voting for.

[1:17:52] Carly: Oh my god. I don't um I will say the one minus for One Less Bell to Answer is that why was Will Schuester not giving April Rhodes his bed and him taking the couch? I mean, gentlemen.

[1:18:06] Andrew: It's not the defining quality of Will Schuster.

[1:18:08] Carly: And also like leaving the light on as he left.

[1:18:11] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:18:11] Carly: Which I understand, like we need the light on to watch this TV show, but like, but I don't know. That was like kind of rude.

[1:18:19] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:18:20] Carly: No, I agree. Oh, I love I Still Believe it's Super Bass, but I also really love this. Like it's such season one. Call your heart. Um I think I have to go with.

[1:18:37] Carly: I'm gonna get I'm so sorry, Andrew. I Still Believe Super Bass.

[1:18:40] Andrew: That's okay, and that's okay.

[1:18:41] Carly: Fuck.

[1:18:42] Andrew: Oh my god.

[1:18:42] Carly: That's on you, Allison.

[1:18:44] Andrew: I think I have to go One Less Bell to Answer to slash House Is Not a Home. I have to. Otherwise the Gleeks will wring my neck.

[1:18:52] Carly: I think they'll wring your neck either way.

[1:18:54] Andrew: They're bring my neck.

[1:18:56] Carly: Yeah.

[1:18:57] Andrew: But at least, I mean, I can handle the people that stand, I Still Believe Super Bass. I think the people that stand One Less Bell to Answer are murderous. So I think I can't take them mad at me. I can take the Super Bass people. Because they're mostly Gen Z. They're mostly like we just watched it on Netflix and Amelia.

[1:19:17] Carly: I tried.

[1:19:18] Andrew: Amelia.

[1:19:20] Carly: We love you.

[1:19:21] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:19:21] Carly: God. I think maybe front runner to come back potentially.

[1:19:27] Andrew: Ooh.

[1:19:28] Carly: A lot of songs pre-free.

[1:19:30] Andrew: Allison is flipping me off.

[1:19:32] Carly: Audio medium.

[1:19:34] Andrew: I don't know what you just said.

[1:19:37] Carly: God, okay. Um we're scared.

[1:19:41] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:19:42] Carly: Okay.

[1:19:43] Andrew: Just is what it is.

[1:19:44] Carly: Audio medium.

[1:19:45] Andrew: I'm just shrugging, you know.

[1:19:47] Carly: Um, here we go.

[1:19:50] Andrew: Oh.

[1:19:55] ♪ Musical number: "Blue Christmas" — performed by Glee Cast ♪

[1:20:52] Carly: That's what when the blue heart stops hurt in You be a two with your Christmas so depressing.

[1:21:56] Andrew: I may actually be dead right now.

[1:22:00] Carly: What I'm sorry. Rorolos, what are we calling them?

[1:22:06] Andrew: Ror Rorolo.

[1:22:07] Carly: Wait.

[1:22:10] Andrew: Rorolos?

[1:22:13] Carly: Yeah, Rorolos.

[1:22:14] Andrew: I'm so sorry, Damien McGinty, you have the one of one of the a voice of a generation. Truly.

[1:22:20] Carly: Great voice.

[1:22:22] Andrew: All of your solos in Glee. Just like so boring.

[1:22:27] Carly: I am bored. I'm watching this and I'm like, okay, what's going to happen next? Like, I want something. Like, you watch all of the there's four Rory solos throughout the entire series of Glee.

[1:22:38] Andrew: And um we have one more to pull after this.

[1:22:42] Carly: I think that we have we have two more. We have Take Care of Yourself and Home.

[1:22:48] Andrew: Yep.

[1:22:49] Carly: Um, yep, yep, yep. And they're all just like, they all struggle with things to cut to. Because it's like nothing's fucking going on. He's just singing. The Glee Club is just like sitting there, sort of just taking in the content, and it's just like, okay.

[1:23:07] Andrew: We kind of like just like waiting for it to be over.

[1:23:09] Carly: And that's so mean to say. I'm so sorry.

[1:23:11] Andrew: But that's how I felt.

[1:23:12] Carly: Yeah.

[1:23:13] Andrew: Yeah. We love Damien McGinty, but yeah, this song is just boring.

[1:23:18] Carly: Bored. Uh Blue Christmas just isn't. I don't really like it as a Christmas song. This is kind of fitting because we're about to start um this is a December released episode, so it is Christmas.

[1:23:29] Andrew: Christmas season.

[1:23:30] Carly: Well, um, so we're getting into we famously, uh people hate us because we talk about Christmas songs outside of the Christmas season, and then people are like, but this is a good song, you're just not in the spirit yet. Um but I'm getting in the spirit, and I'm still not gonna vote for this. I don't like Christmas.

[1:23:48] Andrew: We don't even know what it's on the Elvis Presley.

[1:23:50] Carly: Yeah. I don't even know what it's against, and I'm probably not gonna vote for it.

[1:23:53] Andrew: But um, this is not my favorite Glee cast album.

[1:24:00] Carly: Wait, what is this on? Is this on the red Christmas album or is this the blue one already?

[1:24:04] Andrew: This is the red.

[1:24:06] Carly: The first one was green.

[1:24:09] Andrew: Yep.

[1:24:09] Carly: And then the second one was red.

[1:24:11] Andrew: Yes.

[1:24:11] Carly: And then the then the third one was blue and the fourth one was purple.

[1:24:15] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:24:16] Carly: Yeah.

[1:24:16] Andrew: Um, but I don't reach for this. Uh what else was I gonna say about it? Fuck, I had something else to say. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Somebody else say something while I think of what I was gonna say.

[1:24:28] Carly: Andrew, what are you thinking?

[1:24:30] Carly: I mean, it sucks because this is like probably the best Christmas episode in Glee, like, because it's the one where they do the weird Star Wars black and white Christmas, which is like just so Glee. But yeah.

[1:24:42] Andrew: Well, I but this is like the one song where I'm like, why did they like I get McGinty won, but like we didn't need this. Here's the thing is that uh you're not gonna fucking believe me, but I was in the middle of watching this episode of Glee before I got into the Zoom call.

[1:25:00] Carly: Okay.

[1:25:00] Andrew: Really?

[1:25:01] Carly: Yeah, because I was like, I haven't watched this episode in a while. Watch this. I was like, okay, Rory's like doing the damn thing of just like giving us nothing. Um, but I mean, like, he won the Glee project, but you know who else did? Fucking Samuel Larson. How many solos did he get? Zippity Zoop.

[1:25:20] Andrew: Um, he got none.

[1:25:22] Carly: And he Rory Zoop.

[1:25:24] Andrew: Rory got four? I'm sorry.

[1:25:31] Carly: And I like Joe's characters so much better than I like Rory.

[1:25:35] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:25:36] Carly: I don't know.

[1:25:37] Andrew: Yeah. Like this Rory thing. They they because like I mean, we pulled love earlier in this episode, and it's like it gives the same thing as like in this episode, the Christmas episode, where it's like they sort of are just like, hey, remember this one character that we introduced? He's Irish and he's sad about not being home for holidays. That's all you need to know. Here's the obvious song.

[1:26:01] Carly: Yeah, he's going to be singing about another color.

[1:26:04] Andrew: Are you ready? It's blue this time.

[1:26:08] Carly: Um yeah, I hate it. I don't remember what I was gonna say.

[1:26:13] Andrew: Oh, go ahead.

[1:26:14] Carly: I think for the December bonus episode, we watch previously unaired Christmas.

[1:26:19] Andrew: Okay.

[1:26:20] Carly: And review.

[1:26:21] Andrew: Okay.

[1:26:22] Carly: We we gotta finally, I finally watched that episode for the first time in my entire life.

[1:26:28] Andrew: It's an untouched episode.

[1:26:30] Carly: Untouched Glee episode.

[1:26:32] Andrew: That's no nobody's ever seen before.

[1:26:34] Carly: Um, did anybody catch who directed this episode?

[1:26:38] Andrew: There was a jump scare.

[1:26:40] Carly: Was it one of the main three?

[1:26:43] Andrew: No, it is not one of the main three. But it's a name that you most definitely know.

[1:26:49] Carly: I like I constantly forget this fun fact that who directed the season three Christmas episode of Glee, none other than Matthew Morrison.

[1:27:00] Carly: What?

[1:27:01] Andrew: Exactly.

[1:27:02] Carly: Yeah.

[1:27:02] Andrew: Go go back.

[1:27:05] Carly: Go back in the tapes.

[1:27:06] Andrew: You will see it. It's like he gets the credit, and I want to just like know what the conversation was. It was like, did he want to direct an episode? But they were like, all we can give you is the Christmas episode. I don't know. Maybe.

[1:27:17] Carly: Yeah. He just really likes Christmas. He was like, one day I'll be the Grinch. So I just think that's what it started. And you start prepping.

[1:27:22] Andrew: Yeah. My favorite subplot of this entire season is the feud between Kurt and Rory because of the one time Rory sang hi, and Kurt was just like, we're not friends. We will never be friends. We are arch enemies. And you could see him like kind of sitting there, like pissed off that Rory is sitting singing a solo.

[1:27:43] Carly: Right. What were these character choices? And that's the reason that Rory does not return for season four. Kurt was like, you're done. Get out. You're done. I'm not even in the Glee Club anymore, but I want nothing to do with it. You're done.

[1:27:55] Andrew: Yeah. Gone. Okay. Blue Christmas. You're not going through, but let's see what you're against.

[1:28:02] Carly: Okay. We also referenced this in the beginning of this episode. Um, it is one of the songs you like Carly.

[1:28:12] Andrew: No, you said that you like this era of Glee in season four.

[1:28:12] Carly: Jake.

[1:28:21] Andrew: Or Jake. I believe Jake is here. Do we know what it is? We're looking at AstroTurf and there's a shadow on top of it.

[1:28:28] Carly: Is this beginning or end of season four?

[1:28:29] Andrew: This is like do you want me to tell you the exact episode number?

[1:28:33] Carly: Yeah.

[1:28:34] Andrew: Episode six.

[1:28:35] Carly: Oh, so it's not what I thought it was.

[1:28:36] Andrew: Okay. Wait, what did you think it was?

[1:28:38] Carly: I was I honestly was thinking season five.

[1:28:41] Andrew: So it's not I've just realized that that song is not in season four. Wait, you want to take a stab in the dark? And it has to do with Jake Puckerman?

[1:28:49] Carly: Uh, Jake is there. He does not sing.

[1:28:52] Andrew: Oh.

[1:28:53] Carly: So does Marley sing this?

[1:28:55] Andrew: Marley sings this.

[1:28:57] Carly: Oh, and it's early on.

[1:28:58] Andrew: Yes. Come on. This episode six. You know what. Oh my god, I know what it is because it's literally on the tip of my tongue. Wait, it goes the new Rachel.

[1:29:07] Carly: The new Rachel.

[1:29:13] Andrew: Brittany 2.0.

[1:29:14] Carly: 2.0.

[1:29:18] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:29:19] Carly: Break up.

[1:29:20] Andrew: Then break up.

[1:29:21] Carly: Then the role you were born to play.

[1:29:23] Andrew: And then Gleeze.

[1:29:26] Carly: And then Glee is.

[1:29:28] Andrew: I know what it is. Okay, I'll look at me. I'm Sandra D Drake and reprise.

[1:29:33] Carly: Yeah.

[1:29:34] Andrew: It is not. It's you're the one that I want.

[1:29:36] Carly: Fuck! Damn it!

[1:29:39] Andrew: So good. She looks so good. It looks so good.

[1:29:44] Carly: I got chills, the motor plug in. And I'm losing control. Cause the power you're supplying. It's electrifying.

[1:30:02] Andrew: You better shape up. Cause I need a man. And my heart is set on you. You better shape up. You better understand. To my heart, I must be true. Nothing for me to do.

[1:30:27] Carly: Honey, the one little woman.

[1:30:38] Andrew: Oh yes it did. I'm better shape up. I need a man. Who can keep me satisfied? Better shape up. If I'm gonna prove that my favorite is justified. I will show up, cause I'm sure I'm deep inside.

[1:31:40] Carly: Okay, yeah.

[1:31:42] Andrew: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:31:43] Carly: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:31:44] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:31:44] Carly: Oh baby, yeah.

[1:31:45] Andrew: Oh baby, yeah.

[1:31:47] Carly: What are we thinking?

[1:31:52] Andrew: I love her much.

[1:31:54] Carly: Her being who?

[1:31:56] Andrew: The song.

[1:31:57] Carly: Oh, okay, yeah. The performance.

[1:32:00] Andrew: Oh, yeah. Her being, you're the one that I want Glee Cast versus my Glee Cast.

[1:32:04] Carly: Yes.

[1:32:06] Andrew: Marley looking good. Ryder looking good. Finn, looking good. Rachel, looking good. Kurt is there. Blaine looking good.

[1:32:14] Carly: No, don't say that about Kurt.

[1:32:18] Andrew: He does look good. He looked fine. He does look good. I will say all of them just look good. Tina doesn't look that great. I'll I'll say that. Tina has the pigtails. I don't need that. No thanks.

[1:32:28] Carly: Um I don't know. Carly, what are we thinking?

[1:32:32] Carly: I like I said, mixed feelings about this performance. I love the Marley and Ryder of it all. Yeah I really love that like the beginning of that love triangle. Like this just like gives me so much of that. It makes me so feel like I get an ick because I know what happened between Blake and Melissa. Like and I know that started because they met on Glee, so it's like and then I also really would have preferred if they sang the entire song. Like I love Rachel and Finn, and I love the old cast members, but like they did it so often in season four where they would take away moments from the new cast so like they can incorporate the old cast or give things to the old cast. And I feel like that's why so many people don't like the new season four cast.

[1:33:24] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah.

[1:33:25] Carly: It was like always overshadowed by Rachel, which I mean, the queen, love her, but also she runs this city. But it almost feels like and Glee does this a lot. I think we talked about this in like the performance of like Torn, where it was like, oh, like calling back to season one, Rachel with like the reindeer sweaters, and like Glee does this so often in later seasons where it's so like self-referential that it's like, hey, remember when we did this in season one that it gives like very much like bad relationship toward the end where it's like, hey, remember when like our first few dates when there was like no problems at all? And yeah, and it was like when we were sang You're the one that I won in the auditorium, and there was no vibe like bad vibes or anything, and we didn't sing Gangnam style at sectionals and everything. It's like yeah, no, like all these things considered. We need to consider all of the things.

[1:34:19] Andrew: No, sure.

[1:34:22] Carly: I don't know. It just I can't live in the past, you know. I need to keep on moving forward.

[1:34:28] Andrew: Right, yeah, I have to take it on. It just feels like very toxic to just like keep on bringing this up, pulling it back. However, I feel conflicted because I feel it in the same vein. It's like I I like the best part of this performance for me is like the Rachel and Finn. And it's like the Finchel, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. So conflict of emotions.

[1:34:48] Carly: Yes. I agree. I think they couldn't have done this song without the callback.

[1:34:53] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah.

[1:34:55] Carly: Because it's so pinnacle, and this is a pinnacle time in Finchel uh era. So I think they they had to. Finn was the person that was like, we should do Greece because rem he was like, remember like in the breakup episode, he was like, we need to do Greece because that was the first song that we sang. And it's like, no, like can't they just do something else? I don't know.

[1:35:14] Andrew: Yeah. Like do fucking rent. I don't know.

[1:35:19] Carly: You can't do rent at high school.

[1:35:21] Andrew: Yeah. I don't know. Beauty of the beast. I don't know.

[1:35:23] Carly: Yeah, do it just be musical. Please get the right. Um yeah, I don't know. It's just Fiddler. It just feels it just feels way too like self-referential.

[1:35:34] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah.

[1:35:37] Carly: I mean, this is an easy e the easiest competition I might have ever been a part of.

[1:35:42] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah.

[1:35:43] Carly: No, entirely. And it sucks because it's like we have competitions like um I still believe super bass, one less ball to enter, um, a house is not a home, and then we have competitions like this. It's like, okay, great. Time makes me feel good that ugly song is in fact going through on the clock. Ugly song, regardless of what it is. Going through. Yeah. But makes it very happy.

[1:36:10] Andrew: So I have none of the winners this episode. I have addicted to love. I still believe Super Bass and blue Christmas all staying behind on this round of the Glackett. And I have Love, One Less bell to Answer, house is Not a home, and you're the one that I want all going through.

[1:36:26] Carly: Congratulations. These are all like great songs. I will say these are good songs that I'm excited to see in the second round.

[1:36:33] Andrew: We'll see you in Hollywood.

[1:36:34] Carly: Yes. We'll see you.

[1:36:36] Andrew: You're going to Hollywood in Hollywood. Carly, to wrap up the episode, you know the question we're going to answer, or we're going to ask you. Um, if Glee was still on in the year of our Glord Ryan Murphy 2022, what what are they singing?

[1:36:53] Carly: Um, I honestly, because I I guess it was like around this time of the year, like last month, pretty much. But I think they would have done a Halloween episode. Like you're telling me Santana and Mercedes wouldn't have just broke out into calling all the monsters in the middle of that school hallway.

[1:37:08] Andrew: Wait, what's calling all the monsters?

[1:37:11] Carly: The hit China Anne McLean song from the Disney Channel.

[1:37:15] Andrew: Oh, I'm not familiar.

[1:37:16] Carly: Okay. Okay. I will have to apply Naravera everily. Uh-huh. But no, I feel like they really would have done like a Halloween dedicated episode. Like I'm surprised, honestly surprised they did not. They're theater kids. They absolutely would.

[1:37:32] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:37:35] Carly: So I feel like they would have done a Halloween episode. I definitely think, sorry, Allison, they would have done more Kelly Clarkson if they had the time.

[1:37:41] Andrew: Like I agree.

[1:37:43] Carly: I don't know why Allison hates Kelly Clarkson.

[1:37:46] Andrew: I don't know why I hate Kelly Clarkson.

[1:37:48] Carly: I think I just.

[1:37:54] Andrew: Wait. No, it is going through. It is going through.

[1:37:56] Carly: My life would suck without you.

[1:37:59] Andrew: Yeah, not with My Life would suck without you. Yeah. I mean, I can't pinnacle end to season one halfway point.

[1:38:06] Carly: Exactly.

[1:38:07] Andrew: Yeah. Love So Soft. I feel like we need to talk about that song more. It's an iconic anthem for love being soft.

[1:38:16] Carly: Oh, I also believe James Corden would have guest starred on Glee. That's my No my God.

[1:38:22] Andrew: I think he could not have gotten through like the years without James Corden at least showing up once.

[1:38:30] Carly: Yeah, he needs to he needs to show up at least.

[1:38:32] Andrew: Who is he playing?

[1:38:33] Carly: He's he's playing a teacher.

[1:38:35] Andrew: Yeah. Um I think he's playing a judge.

[1:38:37] Carly: I that's what I was gonna say. I think he plays he would definitely play a judge.

[1:38:41] Andrew: You think he's playing himself?

[1:38:42] Carly: Yeah. Oh, okay. I feel like they would want him to stick around though, not just do like one episode.

[1:38:50] Andrew: Well, I feel like he could be like Josh Groben. Josh Groben did multiple episodes.

[1:38:54] Carly: Oh, yeah, like a living new one.

[1:38:56] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:38:57] Carly: Right. Oh, yeah. And I also believe maybe more Stevenson time. Because I would like, I don't know. Like, I feel like we didn't do a lot of like into the woods songs. Why didn't we?

[1:39:05] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:39:06] Carly: I mean, so Agony shows right there. Yeah, literally. I feel like there's just so many situations where they had such an opportunity to do songs with like plot lines, and they just gognam style.

[1:39:20] Andrew: They did.

[1:39:22] Carly: Gangnam style. I'm watching waiting for them to play Gangnam style.

[1:39:29] Andrew: Um Carly, thank you so much for being our Gleek this week.

[1:40:25] Andrew: The Avengers.

[1:40:26] Carly: This is like my book and all night. When my parents moved into their new house, I was like, I want a movie poster. And it was that or Harry Potter and I chose Avengers much too, because my mom put the Harry Potter one in a different room.
