[0:00] Andrew McGuire: We've got a mission to find the best song that's ever been on Glee.

[0:09] Andrew McGuire: There's no rhyme or reason to it, so don't get mad at me.

[0:18] Andrew McGuire: Glacket by Glacket, we'll rank everyone to see which song will move closer to spot number one.

[0:26] Andrew McGuire: Gleek of the Week, Gleek, Gleek, Gleek of the Week. It's Gleek, Gleek of the Week.

[0:34] Andrew McGuire: I just need everybody to know at the beginning of this episode that I feel absolutely insane.

[0:40] Andrew McGuire: I don't know if I can ever say that I've been on a bender before, but I feel like I've been on a...

[0:50] Andrew McGuire: Like, who am I? I've not been on a bender before, but truly the entire trip...

[0:57] Conor Burke: On your I See London, I See Paris trip?

[0:59] Andrew McGuire: I See London, I See France trip.

[1:02] Conor Burke: Oh, fuck.

[1:04] Andrew McGuire: And so I'm bringing that sort of energy into this recording, and someone already asked a question.

[1:14] Andrew McGuire: And I think maybe you've heard this person's voice before, maybe for the entire first round of the Glacket.

[1:24] Conor Burke: Hey.

[1:25] Conor Burke: Hey, it's me.

[1:27] Conor Burke: How are you doing? We're not even going to say your name. If you know, you know.

[1:32] Conor Burke: It's Conor. It's Conor.

[1:36] Conor Burke: If you're a real Gleek, you would know.

[1:38] Andrew McGuire: Yeah, only real Gleeks look at this, yeah.

[1:41] Conor Burke: I'm doing great. I'm up at the cabin for Labor Day weekend.

[1:45] Conor Burke: We were just out on the boat. It was delicious.

[1:49] Andrew McGuire: The boat?

[1:51] Conor Burke: The boat was delicious.

[1:54] Conor Burke: And I want to rock right now.

[1:58] Conor Burke: I'm eager to be in this room with my Gleeks, my Glee comrades, and discuss some Glee.

[2:07] Conor Burke: I just listened to Andrew's Glara's Tour episode of And That's What You Really Missed.

[2:14] Andrew McGuire: And?

[2:15] Conor Burke: Ten out of ten. Eleven out of ten.

[2:18] Conor Burke: Very emotional.

[2:19] Andrew McGuire: Emotional?

[2:21] Conor Burke: It was emotional in the sense that it was like, these are just my friends.

[2:27] Conor Burke: Like one is literally my friend, but the other two are my parasocial interactions.

[2:33] Andrew McGuire: Wait, who?

[2:37] Conor Burke: No, Jenna's my best friend, and Kevin and Andrew are my parasocial connections.

[2:43] Conor Burke: It was great. I really, really loved it, and I'm so proud of you, Andrew.

[2:49] Conor Burke: It felt like a culmination of, like, not a finality.

[2:54] Conor Burke: I know that their podcast is moving from Glee to something that we may or may not know yet.

[3:00] Andrew McGuire: But it did feel like a culmination of, yeah.

[3:05] Conor Burke: Yep.

[3:07] Andrew McGuire: Yep.

[3:09] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[3:10] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[3:11] Conor Burke: Actually, yeah.

[3:13] Conor Burke: Actually, yeah. I thought it was hard.

[3:16] Andrew McGuire: That's a perfect place to end the sentence, actually.

[3:23] Conor Burke: Any weird shit I'm saying, I'm just blaming it on my Wi-Fi, okay?

[3:28] Conor Burke: I actually can't talk about that because of Netflix, and also my Wi-Fi.

[3:32] Conor Burke: So everybody just chill out.

[3:35] Andrew McGuire: Wait, what is the Netflix reference?

[3:38] Conor Burke: You didn't watch the Love Island reunion because you didn't watch season seven of Love Island USA.

[3:43] Andrew McGuire: Well, because I didn't watch any of Love Island, yeah.

[3:46] Conor Burke: You've never watched Love Island.

[3:48] Andrew McGuire: So my problematic queen, Huda, she was asked a pretty direct question from Andy Cohen.

[3:55] Conor Burke: And Andy Cohen was like, are you dating this man?

[3:58] Conor Burke: Like, what's your dating life like right now?

[4:01] Conor Burke: I actually can't say because of Netflix.

[4:04] Andrew McGuire: And Andy Cohen was like, what does Netflix have to do with this?

[4:08] Conor Burke: We're the biggest test-treatment show on Peacock.

[4:12] Conor Burke: What does Netflix have to do with this at all?

[4:15] Conor Burke: That was basically Kevin and Jenna's response when Andrew asked what was next for their podcast.

[4:21] Conor Burke: I actually can't tell you because of Netflix.

[4:23] Conor Burke: Because of Netflix, I can't say.

[4:26] Conor Burke: The Nini leaks, why am I in it?

[4:29] Conor Burke: Why are you involving me?

[4:31] Conor Burke: So anytime I do anything that might be like cringe or weird, I'm blaming on Netflix.

[4:39] Conor Burke: It's all Netflix's fault.

[4:42] Andrew McGuire: And then also I feel like that lends itself to a perfect segue to the other person that's joining us.

[4:47] Andrew McGuire: Because if I'm not mistaken, you have a suitcase that is a reference to Love Island.

[4:54] Allison Dodge: Oh my God, I do.

[4:56] Allison Dodge: And I didn't even know it.

[4:58] Allison Dodge: It really took me out.

[5:00] Andrew McGuire: Okay, so everyone, this is Connor.

[5:03] Conor Burke: Hey guys.

[5:06] Conor Burke: We've met in person since the last episode.

[5:10] Conor Burke: Which is crazy to me.

[5:12] Conor Burke: Really, really wild.

[5:14] Conor Burke: Which was so crazy.

[5:16] Conor Burke: The first thing that I said to Andrew when I saw him in person was, what's up, party people?

[5:23] Allison Dodge: I also met your suitcase that I think is hilarious.

[5:29] Conor Burke: I also met your suitcase.

[5:31] Conor Burke: I met your suitcase.

[5:32] Allison Dodge: My suitcase.

[5:33] Conor Burke: My suitcase.

[5:35] Conor Burke: The suitcase that says, I got a text on it.

[5:38] Allison Dodge: Oh, that's so fun.

[5:40] Allison Dodge: And it doesn't say anything else.

[5:42] Conor Burke: Well, I didn't.

[5:43] Allison Dodge: Okay, I'm frozen.

[5:45] Allison Dodge: I didn't notice that this was a thing until I was walking through Dublin airport.

[5:49] Allison Dodge: And I kind of noticed that there was a lot of people kind of looking rather confusingly down at my text.

[5:55] Allison Dodge: Or at my suitcase.

[5:58] Allison Dodge: And I was like, wait, what is going on?

[6:00] Allison Dodge: And I looked down and it was like, you've got a text.

[6:03] Allison Dodge: And I was like, what the fuck is that?

[6:05] Allison Dodge: Or I've got a text or whatever it was.

[6:07] Conor Burke: But you didn't know that your suitcase said that?

[6:10] Allison Dodge: That's what I said.

[6:12] Allison Dodge: No.

[6:13] Conor Burke: Are you just like loose buying suitcases?

[6:17] Allison Dodge: To be fair, I did need one really last minute because my previous one had broke.

[6:21] Allison Dodge: So I just went down and then I just bought the first one.

[6:25] Conor Burke: That's so funny.

[6:26] Conor Burke: I got a text.

[6:28] Allison Dodge: I got a text.

[6:29] Conor Burke: I didn't know the reference, of course.

[6:31] Conor Burke: So I just thought it was like kind of like one of those like, what are those little like, Allison, remember the monkey T-shirts that like elementary school girls would wear?

[6:39] Conor Burke: It just like says random shit on it.

[6:42] Allison Dodge: And I'm like, okay.

[6:44] Allison Dodge: What's her name?

[6:45] Allison Dodge: The bass girl from Pretty Little Liars.

[6:48] Conor Burke: She has a brand and her suitcases say, text me when you land.

[6:53] Conor Burke: The bass girl?

[6:54] Conor Burke: Who's the bass girl?

[6:56] Allison Dodge: The brand B-E-I-S.

[6:58] Allison Dodge: What's her name?

[7:00] Conor Burke: Shanae?

[7:01] Conor Burke: Shannon?

[7:02] Conor Burke: Oh.

[7:03] Conor Burke: Somebody listening is yelling it.

[7:05] Allison Dodge: Shay Mitchell.

[7:06] Conor Burke: Shay Mitchell.

[7:07] Allison Dodge: Shay Mitchell's brand.

[7:08] Conor Burke: Famously in season four, episode two of Glee, Brittany 2.0.

[7:11] Allison Dodge: She was.

[7:12] Conor Burke: She was.

[7:13] Allison Dodge: Andrew, this was a revelation that we made after your departure from the podcast.

[7:18] Andrew McGuire: What?

[7:19] Allison Dodge: Shay Mitchell is in Womanizer.

[7:20] Conor Burke: Well, let's set the scene.

[7:22] Conor Burke: Let's set the scene.

[7:23] Conor Burke: So it's an episode with me, Andrew, and Lena.

[7:25] Conor Burke: We pull Womanizer.

[7:26] Conor Burke: And then we watch the song.

[7:28] Conor Burke: And then Andrew's like, any thoughts?

[7:30] Allison Dodge: And I was like, oh my God, like Shay Mitchell and Lena.

[7:33] Conor Burke: And Andrew was just like, what the fuck are you talking about?

[7:37] Allison Dodge: But no, but there's still been no.

[7:39] Conor Burke: There's no proof.

[7:40] Allison Dodge: But has there been any debunking?

[7:42] Conor Burke: No, I think that there is proof.

[7:44] Conor Burke: I think that was Shay Mitchell.

[7:45] Allison Dodge: Anyway, I understand.

[7:46] Andrew McGuire: Okay, before we get any...

[7:47] Conor Burke: Because I could...

[7:48] Allison Dodge: That was a crazy tangent.

[7:50] Andrew McGuire: We have to really lock in.

[7:52] Andrew McGuire: Well, this is...

[7:53] Conor Burke: Well, this is...

[7:54] Andrew McGuire: This is why, you know, round three is perfect for Allison Dodge.

[7:56] Andrew McGuire: We know that she means business.

[7:58] Conor Burke: Ninety minutes straight and no kissing.

[8:00] Andrew McGuire: Let's go.

[8:01] Conor Burke: Let's go.

[8:02] Andrew McGuire: Let's go.

[8:03] Conor Burke: Straight and no kissing.

[8:05] Andrew McGuire: Edit that part out.

[8:07] Conor Burke: Edit that out.

[8:08] Andrew McGuire: No.

[8:09] Conor Burke: No, I love that.

[8:10] Andrew McGuire: Wait, so can we...

[8:12] Conor Burke: This is so inappropriate to be doing in a recorded fashion.

[8:15] Conor Burke: But can we reach a time limit?

[8:18] Andrew McGuire: What are we kind of like a bartering right now?

[8:22] Conor Burke: We're going to do 90 minutes.

[8:23] Andrew McGuire: This is like 15 minutes.

[8:25] Conor Burke: 90 minutes.

[8:27] Andrew McGuire: I can do 90 minutes.

[8:30] Conor Burke: Okay, we're already eight in and we're only going to watch...

[8:35] Andrew McGuire: So, yeah, it's good.

[8:38] Conor Burke: We're great.

[8:39] Conor Burke: I want to hear about Europe.

[8:40] Conor Burke: I want to hear...

[8:41] Conor Burke: I want to listen to the Glee songs.

[8:44] Conor Burke: And we should see if we can talk about Europe.

[8:47] Andrew McGuire: We should see if we can talk about Europe like in a way that we can relate it to the songs.

[8:52] Conor Burke: Paul.

[8:53] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[8:54] Andrew McGuire: Oh, to your trip.

[8:56] Conor Burke: That's really interesting.

[9:03] Conor Burke: I have the four things that are like the Europe bullet points.

[9:06] Conor Burke: I have Evita, Abba, Glee Night and Moulin Rouge.

[9:11] Andrew McGuire: Moulin Rouge was the only thing that Connor, you did not do because that's what Elias did in France.

[9:14] Conor Burke: You went in Paris to the Moulin Rouge.

[9:17] Conor Burke: Should I just... should I say the Moulin Rouge?

[9:16] Andrew McGuire: Start with...

[9:17] Conor Burke: Yeah, start with that one.

[9:18] Conor Burke: That was... okay.

[9:20] Conor Burke: The Moulin Rouge.

[9:21] Conor Burke: That, not to be like so fucking corny on main.

[9:24] Conor Burke: The corniest I'll ever be on main is right now in this moment.

[9:28] Conor Burke: Corny?

[9:30] Andrew McGuire: No, no.

[9:32] Conor Burke: It's the Moulin Rouge.

[9:33] Andrew McGuire: Are they... do they show tits there or...?

[9:36] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[9:37] Conor Burke: And all the tits are the same too, which is so like, which really made me feel good.

[9:41] Andrew McGuire: That's kind of... I don't know.

[9:43] Conor Burke: Are they prosthetic?

[9:44] Andrew McGuire: No, it's not inspirational.

[9:46] Conor Burke: It's like I'm thinking about the casting that it's like if you have just like a slightly larger left breast, then you can't be in the Moulin Rouge, you know?

[9:55] Andrew McGuire: Wait, so what's corny about it?

[9:57] Conor Burke: Oh, what's corny is that I just felt like I was like in a movie because the night before we went to the Moulin Rouge, we were at a bar and we were talking to this French man.

[10:08] Conor Burke: And he was like, what are you guys doing tomorrow night?

[10:11] Conor Burke: And we were like, oh, we're actually going to go see the Moulin Rouge.

[10:14] Conor Burke: And he's like, I'm a dancer in the Moulin Rouge.

[10:16] Conor Burke: And we were like, what the fuck?

[10:19] Conor Burke: First of all, he was like, send me your ticket information and I will set you up.

[10:25] Andrew McGuire: I raised the eyebrow from Allison.

[10:27] Conor Burke: He... I hid everything else.

[10:32] Conor Burke: I sent him only the ticket information that like he can't do anything with.

[10:37] Conor Burke: And so sent him the ticket information.

[10:40] Conor Burke: He was like, I'll set you up.

[10:42] Conor Burke: We got there longest line in the world.

[10:45] Conor Burke: First of all, we were getting scared.

[10:47] Conor Burke: And then we got in and they led us all the way to the front table because it's table seating.

[10:54] Conor Burke: And we got like a half bottle of champagne already with the ticket.

[10:59] Conor Burke: We're watching the show.

[11:01] Conor Burke: He comes out on stage.

[11:03] Conor Burke: The guy that we met the previous night has one of the dancers.

[11:06] Conor Burke: And he's just like... he's also the youngest one there.

[11:09] Conor Burke: And he's just like... he's very cute.

[11:11] Conor Burke: And he's just like... he looked at us and like saluted us at one point.

[11:14] Andrew McGuire: And I'm like, okay, it's okay.

[11:17] Conor Burke: It's like he's very, very sweet.

[11:19] Conor Burke: And then the waiter came over with an additional bottle of champagne for...

[11:25] Andrew McGuire: Oh, wow.

[11:26] Conor Burke: So you're lit.

[11:27] Conor Burke: Scent from...

[11:28] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[11:29] Conor Burke: So I'm understanding the bender, the bender.

[11:32] Conor Burke: It's still happening right now.

[11:34] Conor Burke: I feel like it's fucked up.

[11:36] Andrew McGuire: Right.

[11:37] Conor Burke: When is your back home?

[11:39] Andrew McGuire: So we're recording this on Sunday, August 31st.

[11:43] Andrew McGuire: I, Elias and I came back late Friday night.

[11:46] Conor Burke: Okay.

[11:47] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[11:48] Andrew McGuire: So yesterday was like a day probably.

[11:51] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[11:52] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[11:53] Conor Burke: And so it was very fun.

[11:56] Conor Burke: You would love...

[11:57] Conor Burke: They show tits.

[12:01] Andrew McGuire: Are we seeing butt and wiener or...?

[12:01] Conor Burke: Oh, and that's also kind of like... it was what I think maybe the best show I've ever seen in my life.

[12:06] Conor Burke: My butt and wiener would have been really great, though.

[12:11] Conor Burke: Additionally to the boobs.

[12:12] Andrew McGuire: It's your only criticism.

[12:14] Conor Burke: It's your only criticism.

[12:16] Conor Burke: Nobody wants to show hole in.

[12:17] Andrew McGuire: Are they... are they...

[12:19] Conor Burke: Are they singing?

[12:20] Andrew McGuire: Let's keep moving.

[12:22] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[12:23] Andrew McGuire: Let's keep going.

[12:24] Andrew McGuire: Never mind.

[12:26] Andrew McGuire: So was Ewan McGregor there or...?

[12:29] Conor Burke: Never mind.

[12:30] Andrew McGuire: Never mind.

[12:31] Conor Burke: Well, wait.

[12:33] Conor Burke: So, Allison, you did not see the Moulin Rouge when you went to Paris.

[12:36] Allison Dodge: No.

[12:37] Allison Dodge: No, I heard that it was a tourist trap.

[12:39] Allison Dodge: So I therefore did not go.

[12:41] Conor Burke: Well, you didn't meet a dancer at a bar, did you?

[12:43] Allison Dodge: Exactly.

[12:44] Allison Dodge: This is what I get for not drinking.

[12:47] Allison Dodge: I should have had a fucking bender.

[12:49] Allison Dodge: I could have seen tits.

[12:52] Conor Burke: But it's like it's truly just there.

[12:54] Conor Burke: I didn't know what to expect.

[12:56] Conor Burke: It's just... it was just like almost like a carnival, like a circus act.

[13:00] Conor Burke: There's no story.

[13:01] Conor Burke: You know, they're just doing crazy shit.

[13:03] Conor Burke: There's like a guy carrying like on his two palms to one on a man on each hand that are upside down.

[13:12] Andrew McGuire: As you do.

[13:13] Conor Burke: Oh, that's gotta hurt.

[13:14] Conor Burke: That's gotta hurt like a bike seat.

[13:16] Andrew McGuire: You know what I mean?

[13:17] Conor Burke: But that was the Moulin Rouge.

[13:20] Andrew McGuire: That's so fun.

[13:21] Conor Burke: That was really beautiful.

[13:22] Andrew McGuire: Thank you.

[13:23] Conor Burke: That was really beautiful.

[13:24] Conor Burke: I'm really happy that you had that experience.

[13:26] Andrew McGuire: Now let's relate it back to Glee with is Come What May.

[13:31] Andrew McGuire: Where is Come What May standing in the Glacket right now?

[13:35] Conor Burke: Both Moulin Rouge songs are dead.

[13:39] Conor Burke: We're looking at Come What May and we're looking at Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.

[13:42] Andrew McGuire: Wow.

[13:43] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[13:44] Andrew McGuire: I mean, I'm not... that's not bad.

[13:46] Conor Burke: It's... I mean, I'm excited about Diamonds personally.

[13:50] Conor Burke: But that is... it's a fun number to look at.

[13:54] Andrew McGuire: But nothing else.

[13:57] Conor Burke: Listening.

[13:58] Conor Burke: God, turn it off.

[14:00] Conor Burke: Turn it the fuck off.

[14:02] Andrew McGuire: No, I've been listening.

[14:04] Andrew McGuire: I've been listening to the remaining songs playlist and sometimes like MP4s.

[14:11] Andrew McGuire: I'm realizing MP4s go crazy because there are certain songs or MP3s that I have just haven't streamed in a while that I'm like, oh, okay, an MP3.

[14:24] Andrew McGuire: This is definitely not on the remaining songs playlist, but an MP3 that I have been streaming and this is going to catch everybody off guard for a bunch of reasons.

[14:33] Conor Burke: But the rain in Spain.

[14:36] Andrew McGuire: What?

[14:37] Conor Burke: I was like, surely I'm not going to be caught off guard.

[14:40] Andrew McGuire: That's crazy.

[14:41] Conor Burke: No, that actually did.

[14:44] Andrew McGuire: What?

[14:45] Conor Burke: I respect that.

[14:47] Andrew McGuire: I don't.

[14:48] Conor Burke: I got stuck in my head the other day.

[14:50] Conor Burke: I got stuck in my head the other day and I was like, you know what?

[14:52] Conor Burke: I really want to hear that right now.

[14:54] Conor Burke: And it paid off to it.

[14:58] Conor Burke: It did.

[14:59] Conor Burke: It served a purpose.

[15:01] Andrew McGuire: And then Joe and I were just talking about My Fair Lady for some reason.

[15:07] Andrew McGuire: And I was like, I really need to hear that right now.

[15:09] Andrew McGuire: And I'm not going to say anything good about it, but I'm not going to say anything bad about it.

[15:15] Conor Burke: And why not the latter?

[15:17] Conor Burke: Why not the latter?

[15:18] Conor Burke: There's so many things to say.

[15:22] Andrew McGuire: It's what I needed in the moment, you know?

[15:25] Conor Burke: Okay.

[15:26] Andrew McGuire: All right.

[15:27] Andrew McGuire: I'm glad that you found each other.

[15:29] Andrew McGuire: That's what my experience with Glee has been since we last discussed on this podcast.

[15:34] Andrew McGuire: What's Allison's relationship with this show is I'm streaming The Rain in Spain.

[15:40] Conor Burke: And are we saying streaming multiple times or are we just saying streaming that one time and it really had a very big impact?

[15:44] Allison Dodge: No, I would say three times in a row and then I was done.

[15:52] Conor Burke: Wow.

[15:53] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[15:56] Conor Burke: I think you're the first person on this earth to ever do that.

[16:00] Allison Dodge: Three times in a row.

[16:02] Conor Burke: Three times in a row.

[16:03] Conor Burke: Then I was good.

[16:04] Conor Burke: Then I could move on.

[16:05] Conor Burke: Then it was out of my head.

[16:07] Andrew McGuire: Anyway, that's perfect.

[16:11] Andrew McGuire: Connor, it's been a little minute since you've been on the podcast.

[16:16] Andrew McGuire: What say you about current Glacket competitions?

[16:21] Conor Burke: Anything?

[16:22] Conor Burke: Okay.

[16:23] Conor Burke: Okay.

[16:26] Conor Burke: So, yeah.

[16:29] Conor Burke: Loser Like Me Season 5 versus Do Up That Thing.

[16:29] Conor Burke: I would have voted for Do Up That Thing, just going to say it.

[16:33] Conor Burke: I would have as well.

[16:35] Conor Burke: And, you know, I think I joined Andrew in this call.

[16:39] Conor Burke: Ain't No Way versus Chasing Pavements.

[16:41] Conor Burke: Probably would have gone for Chasing Pavements too, personally.

[16:44] Andrew McGuire: Where do you stand on that, Allison?

[16:46] Allison Dodge: Chasing Pavements versus Ain't No Way?

[16:49] Allison Dodge: I mean, there's something about Marley in that hat.

[16:53] Conor Burke: That's true.

[16:55] Allison Dodge: That I'm not going to reach for.

[16:57] Conor Burke: It's the hat for me.

[16:58] Allison Dodge: It's the hat for me.

[16:59] Allison Dodge: I mean, Chasing Pavements, I don't even like associate with Adele for some reason.

[17:06] Allison Dodge: It's Marley for her.

[17:07] Allison Dodge: Like, it's just in my files, in my files, it's Glee song, and then it's Adele.

[17:13] Allison Dodge: Everything other Adele cover, I'm like Adele first.

[17:18] Conor Burke: But Chasing Pavements, it's good.

[17:22] Conor Burke: That's Marley.

[17:23] Conor Burke: I'm already thinking about the Carousel edition in my head.

[17:25] Allison Dodge: That's Marley at her best.

[17:26] Conor Burke: It's the 19 album cover, but instead of Adele, it's, of course, Marley.

[17:32] Allison Dodge: It's Marley.

[17:33] Conor Burke: Thank you.

[17:34] Conor Burke: In the fucking hat.

[17:35] Conor Burke: Beautiful.

[17:36] Conor Burke: That's going to be Carousel edition number five.

[17:37] Conor Burke: Go ahead.

[17:38] Conor Burke: Like, I just need to say my piece.

[17:40] Conor Burke: Doo Wop That Thing is really top 30 most streamed Glee songs for me.

[17:47] Conor Burke: I love her.

[17:49] Conor Burke: She is suffering from season five anitis.

[17:53] Conor Burke: She just gets forgot about.

[17:56] Conor Burke: And that's such a shame to me and my people personally.

[18:00] Conor Burke: So RIP to her.

[18:02] Conor Burke: I do like Loser Like Me season five.

[18:04] Conor Burke: I do like a slowdown moment.

[18:09] Conor Burke: I could have done without her, but that's just me.

[18:12] Conor Burke: I think she's really gorgeous.

[18:13] Conor Burke: And people are really...

[18:14] Conor Burke: Oh, also, recently, Allison, people have been really talking about Loser Like Me season two a lot.

[18:20] Conor Burke: And, of course, thanks to Elijah's brilliant voting document, we can look back to episode 10 of this very podcast and see that you were the only person that voted for Loser Like Me season two version, which lost to Be Okay.

[18:39] Allison Dodge: See, the thing about Allison Dodge is that she was ahead of her time.

[18:43] Conor Burke: That's the thing about Allison Dodge.

[18:45] Allison Dodge: I have to live with that now.

[18:47] Conor Burke: You really were ahead of the curve.

[18:49] Conor Burke: That's crazy.

[18:50] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[18:51] Conor Burke: Genuinely, I don't know what Be Okay is.

[18:52] Allison Dodge: Can you sing a few lines?

[18:54] Conor Burke: I'm wide awake, so what's the point of reading?

[19:09] Allison Dodge: Wait, that's a crazy place.

[19:11] Conor Burke: I stand by that.

[19:12] Allison Dodge: What the fuck?

[19:13] Conor Burke: No, Allison.

[19:14] Conor Burke: What the fuck?

[19:15] Conor Burke: Literally, last time you were on this podcast with Maggie, you sang Be Okay, and it was part of the carousel.

[19:23] Allison Dodge: Wait, I did?

[19:25] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[19:26] Allison Dodge: Okay.

[19:27] Allison Dodge: Why can't I...?

[19:28] Conor Burke: Because I'm only thinking of the other Be Okay version.

[19:29] Conor Burke: Can't complain about much these days.

[19:31] Conor Burke: I believe we'll be okay.

[19:33] Conor Burke: I believe we'll be okay.

[19:34] Allison Dodge: Okay.

[19:35] Conor Burke: Okay.

[19:36] Allison Dodge: Okay.

[19:37] Conor Burke: Okay.

[19:38] Allison Dodge: Okay.

[19:39] Conor Burke: I know what it is now.

[19:40] Conor Burke: Connor, the place that you started at Be Okay was a really crazy place to start.

[19:42] Conor Burke: No one would know.

[19:43] Conor Burke: Well, I started off the start.

[19:45] Conor Burke: At the start, yeah.

[19:47] Conor Burke: A good place to start.

[19:48] Allison Dodge: That's so fun.

[19:51] Conor Burke: Okay.

[19:52] Conor Burke: Can I just say, there was an experience with the Heiress Tour where people would, and I thought about this during your Heiress Tour episode, there was an experience with Heiress Tour where it was an event for some people that was so happy, so exciting, so overstimulating that they immediately forgot about it.

[20:12] Andrew McGuire: Wow.

[20:13] Conor Burke: They can't remember being at the Heiress Tour.

[20:16] Conor Burke: That's how much emotion, like their brain is blotted out.

[20:19] Andrew McGuire: That is how I feel with this podcast sometimes, is I just have such a great time.

[20:24] Conor Burke: So much emotion.

[20:26] Conor Burke: I have so much fun and so much emotion that I don't know what's actually going on.

[20:31] Andrew McGuire: Every episode, you're Taylor Swift performing for an arena.

[20:37] Conor Burke: I'm performing for a U.S. Bank Stadium full.

[20:39] Conor Burke: Because when you were on, and that's what I really miss, that's how I felt about your Heiress Tour setup.

[20:43] Conor Burke: I was like, I would have such a good time that I would immediately, my brain would control alt delete.

[20:51] Andrew McGuire: Exactly.

[20:52] Andrew McGuire: It's like, well, that was money spent, but where did the memories go?

[21:03] Conor Burke: Why can't I remember anything?

[21:10] Andrew McGuire: Do you have anything to say about Galactic Grievances since your last appearance, Allison?

[21:10] Allison Dodge: Not particularly.

[21:13] Allison Dodge: I mean, I feel like a lot of people have just been on the same page as of recent, and there was, and I can't remember now, but when I have a grievance, it's always the time when my, and I want to vote in the polls.

[21:34] Allison Dodge: I'm like, okay, I'm going to be voting in the polls, and I want to see what the general public wants.

[21:39] Allison Dodge: Civic duty.

[21:40] Allison Dodge: Civic duty is always when Instagram doesn't let me vote.

[21:45] Allison Dodge: That's always when I feel the most passionate, is when Instagram just taps, I go to vote, taps to the next door.

[21:51] Allison Dodge: And I always get so sad when I get an Instagram DM from someone that has that issue, that they're like, I really want to have my voice heard here, and Instagram is kind of denying me of that.

[22:00] Conor Burke: It's a fix.

[22:02] Allison Dodge: And it makes me sick.

[22:07] Andrew McGuire: How much do you have left in this round?

[22:10] Conor Burke: That's a really great question.

[22:11] Conor Burke: I guess you only just started.

[22:14] Conor Burke: Started in March.

[22:15] Conor Burke: Or am I blacking out again?

[22:16] Andrew McGuire: You're blacking out again.

[22:18] Andrew McGuire: You can blame that on Netflix, actually.

[22:22] Andrew McGuire: Wait, how many... let me see, because I wrote down, how many songs do we have in round four so far?

[22:29] Conor Burke: Because there's going to be 100 in round four.

[22:35] Conor Burke: Currently, we have, at this very moment, we have 41.

[22:41] Andrew McGuire: Oh.

[22:42] Conor Burke: Oh, God.

[22:43] Conor Burke: Okay.

[22:44] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[22:45] Conor Burke: So we're nearing halfway.

[22:46] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[22:47] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[22:48] Andrew McGuire: I'm used to the rounds that took two and a half years to complete.

[22:53] Conor Burke: We were like, I remember, I guess it was going into 2022 that I was like, wow, we'll finally, or 2023, that it was like, we'll finally finish the first round this year.

[23:06] Andrew McGuire: Wow.

[23:07] Andrew McGuire: That's so crazy.

[23:08] Conor Burke: Okay.

[23:09] Conor Burke: So is there anything else that we need to talk about before we pull song number one?

[23:15] Andrew McGuire: I'm going to say the resounding no.

[23:21] Conor Burke: I don't think so.

[23:23] Conor Burke: I think we've actually come to a basis.

[23:26] Conor Burke: I'm ready to get this fucking show on the goddamn road.

[23:30] Andrew McGuire: I'm excited.

[23:31] Andrew McGuire: Oh, God.

[23:32] Andrew McGuire: Well, this is like, kind of, I don't even know.

[23:37] Conor Burke: Oh.

[23:38] Conor Burke: Oh, fuck.

[23:39] Conor Burke: I just don't even know what to say about this.

[23:42] Andrew McGuire: Jesus.

[23:43] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[23:44] Andrew McGuire: Jesus.

[23:45] Andrew McGuire: Season two song.

[23:46] Conor Burke: We remember that one.

[23:47] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[23:48] Conor Burke: Okay.

[23:49] Conor Burke: Okay.

[23:50] Conor Burke: I watched that one.

[23:51] Conor Burke: Emily, put down that rock.

[23:53] Conor Burke: Emily, put it down.

[23:55] Conor Burke: Emily, put it down.

[23:56] Conor Burke: She doesn't got to.

[23:57] Andrew McGuire: Smile and wave, Allison.

[23:58] Allison Dodge: I'm just enjoying it.

[24:00] Allison Dodge: I'm just enjoying being here.

[24:01] Allison Dodge: Just having a good time.

[24:02] Andrew McGuire: I have the MP4 file, everyone. Calm down.

[24:03] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[24:04] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[24:05] Andrew McGuire: And you're going to know what it is.

[24:07] Conor Burke: We know what the hell this is.

[24:08] Conor Burke: Oh.

[24:09] Conor Burke: Boiba.

[24:10] Conor Burke: That's my baby.

[24:11] Conor Burke: It's your baby boy.

[24:12] Conor Burke: That's my baby.

[24:13] Conor Burke: He's iconic.

[24:14] Conor Burke: And what's his name?

[24:15] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[24:16] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[24:17] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[24:18] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[24:19] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[24:20] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[24:22] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[24:23] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[24:25] Conor Burke: Big blue suit.

[24:26] Conor Burke: He is in it.

[24:27] Andrew McGuire: It's Darren Criss.

[24:28] Conor Burke: Darren Criss, his audio medium, of course.

[24:30] Conor Burke: We're looking at Darren Criss.

[24:34] Conor Burke: Oh.

[24:35] Conor Burke: This song is...

[24:36] Conor Burke: Right, right.

[24:37] Conor Burke: Turn off the lights.

[24:38] Conor Burke: We're going to lose our mind tonight.

[24:39] Conor Burke: What's the dealio?

[24:40] Conor Burke: I'm low key disassociated.

[24:52] Andrew McGuire: Netflix.

[24:53] Conor Burke: Sorry.

[24:54] Andrew McGuire: It's fine.

[24:55] Andrew McGuire: I said what I said.

[24:57] Conor Burke: Well, unfortunately, I was in this episode when it was pulled in round two with Mr. Andrew McGuire and Mr. Ian Allred.

[25:00] Conor Burke: You were.

[25:01] Conor Burke: That's correct.

[25:02] Conor Burke: I was trying to pull up the Grackett voting history.

[25:03] Conor Burke: I obviously voted this through.

[25:04] Conor Burke: What was it against, though, because it's not loading for me?

[25:05] Andrew McGuire: I don't know.

[25:06] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:07] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:08] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:09] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:10] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:11] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:12] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:13] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:14] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[25:16] Andrew McGuire: What was it against, though, because it's not loading for me.

[25:24] Conor Burke: Okay, so here's the hilarious thing.

[25:25] Conor Burke: I don't think that you did.

[25:26] Conor Burke: I don't think actually any of us voted for this.

[25:31] Conor Burke: People voted for this song to come here because it was discussed.

[25:33] Conor Burke: Damed.

[25:34] Conor Burke: Yes.

[25:35] Conor Burke: Okay, so here's the thing.

[25:36] Conor Burke: Yes, you're absolutely correct.

[25:37] Conor Burke: It's in the episode Dirty Little Greeks with Connor and Ian, and it was Raise Your Glass versus Trowdy Mouth.

[25:42] Conor Burke: And we all voted for Trowdy Mouth and...

[25:47] Conor Burke: Famously.

[25:48] Conor Burke: I knew it.

[25:49] Conor Burke: And then everyone was like, actually, they made the wrong decision.

[25:53] Conor Burke: Let's have it back in.

[25:54] Conor Burke: And I'm going to... that made me... that really... I remember finding out that this is so mean to say to you, the beautiful girls reading this, when I found out that you voted for Raise Your Glass season two to come back, it's like, who are you?

[26:04] Conor Burke: I'm like, what were the other options?

[26:11] Andrew McGuire: Okay, that was over a year ago.

[26:16] Conor Burke: I have no idea.

[26:17] Conor Burke: I can try looking up if anybody wants to continue speaking while I'm looking it up.

[26:22] Conor Burke: But, yeah, I like it.

[26:31] Conor Burke: I had fun.

[26:33] Conor Burke: I had fun during that MP4.

[26:35] Conor Burke: I mean, there's so many things that I'm just like watching it remembering what I've previously said on this podcast about this performance.

[26:43] Conor Burke: And I'm trying not to say the same exact things, but they do ring true in God's year of 2025.

[26:48] Conor Burke: But it was fun.

[26:52] Conor Burke: I think that I've made peace with the millennials.

[26:57] Conor Burke: Just in general, I've like just had to make peace with them and sometimes how they act.

[27:02] Conor Burke: And I think this song and this performance are a perfect example of a millennial.

[27:09] Andrew McGuire: What's the most millennial thing about you other than on Ugly Podcast?

[27:15] Conor Burke: The most millennial thing about me is that I have called something a doggo or a pupper.

[27:21] Conor Burke: And on the regular, I say, don't talk to me until I've had my coffee.

[27:26] Andrew McGuire: Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee.

[27:30] Conor Burke: But Pink as an artist is very millennial coded as well.

[27:34] Conor Burke: Like her doing flips.

[27:39] Conor Burke: There's something millennial about that.

[27:41] Conor Burke: And then Darren doing this little arm thing, the dirty little things.

[27:46] Conor Burke: There's something millennial about that as well.

[27:49] Conor Burke: And you know what?

[27:50] Conor Burke: I've made peace with that.

[27:51] Conor Burke: If you had asked me two years ago, I would have said death.

[27:54] Andrew McGuire: Death?

[27:55] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[27:56] Conor Burke: To all of them?

[27:57] Conor Burke: To all of them.

[27:58] Conor Burke: Of course.

[27:59] Conor Burke: But now I'm saying it's okay to be cringes to be free.

[28:04] Conor Burke: And I love to see Darren's freak flag fly.

[28:08] Conor Burke: I was thinking the other day about how he called himself culturally queer.

[28:13] Conor Burke: Queer.

[28:14] Conor Burke: So, which is so fucking iconic to me personally.

[28:19] Conor Burke: I just love that.

[28:21] Conor Burke: It's my favorite thing.

[28:22] Conor Burke: It's something that would have been on a t-shirt in 2013.

[28:27] Conor Burke: Culturally queer.

[28:28] Conor Burke: Culturally queer.

[28:29] Conor Burke: And I've been thinking about him.

[28:32] Conor Burke: I've been thinking about him a lot these days.

[28:35] Conor Burke: I've been thinking about you.

[28:37] Conor Burke: I believe he'll be okay.

[28:39] Conor Burke: Oh, oh, oh.

[28:41] Andrew McGuire: That was a perfect amount of time for me to find, scroll back all the way in the Patreon and find exactly what songs Raise Your Glass be.

[28:46] Conor Burke: So, Raise Your Glass, oh, this is a lot of different...

[29:00] Conor Burke: How many songs are?

[29:01] Conor Burke: It's a sampler platter.

[29:02] Conor Burke: Yeah, it's a sampler.

[29:03] Conor Burke: Yeah, give us a sample.

[29:04] Conor Burke: Okay, I'm just going to... do you want the full 21 songs here?

[29:09] Andrew McGuire: No.

[29:10] Conor Burke: No.

[29:11] Conor Burke: I'm just going to see the ones that have at least, like, 5%.

[29:18] Conor Burke: Okay, so, Stop the Name of Love for Your Mind, How to Be a Heartbreaker came second to Raise Your Glass.

[29:28] Conor Burke: How to Be a Heartbreaker.

[29:32] Conor Burke: Somebody That I Used to Know had 9.

[29:35] Conor Burke: Oh, Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend had 6.

[29:43] Conor Burke: And then If I Can't Have You had 15.

[29:46] Conor Burke: And I'm like, if I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby.

[29:52] Conor Burke: I probably would have voted for any of them over this, personally.

[29:56] Conor Burke: Yeah, maybe not How to Be a Heartbreaker, but if I can't have you, I think I would have voted for over this.

[30:02] Conor Burke: But that doesn't mean that the people who voted for this were wrong.

[30:05] Andrew McGuire: I know, I need to stop.

[30:07] Conor Burke: We see you and we hear you, and you know what?

[30:10] Conor Burke: You made a choice, and here are the repercussions to that choice.

[30:14] Conor Burke: You're probably going to see her die now, for real this time.

[30:18] Andrew McGuire: You brought her back, and we're going to execute her.

[30:21] Conor Burke: Just so she can die a more painful death.

[30:25] Andrew McGuire: Welcome back to the slaughterhouse.

[30:30] Conor Burke: Exactly.

[30:32] Conor Burke: So glad you could join us.

[30:35] Conor Burke: Die, bitch, die.

[30:37] Conor Burke: It's going to hurt more than stopping.

[30:40] Conor Burke: Even worse, because you got her back again, and it wasn't as good.

[30:44] Conor Burke: Your wounds are open.

[30:47] Conor Burke: You should have just let her be dead.

[30:49] Conor Burke: You're slowly getting sepsis.

[30:53] Conor Burke: And decaying in front of us.

[30:55] Conor Burke: It's disgusting.

[30:57] Andrew McGuire: I'm crying.

[30:58] Conor Burke: Oh my God.

[31:00] Conor Burke: I was like, yo, what are we going to talk about with Erasure Glass Season 2?

[31:03] Conor Burke: And I think we found it.

[31:04] Conor Burke: Sepsis.

[31:06] Conor Burke: Speaking of millennial core, though, I'm so sorry.

[31:10] Conor Burke: Too cool for school.

[31:12] Conor Burke: Too school for cool.

[31:14] Conor Burke: The way that that, too school for cool.

[31:19] Conor Burke: Too school for cool.

[31:21] Conor Burke: Too school for cool.

[31:24] Conor Burke: The way that I thought that they ate that up when that song came out.

[31:28] Conor Burke: I remember the first time I heard that lyric, pink version.

[31:32] Conor Burke: And I was like, oh my God, she ate me up with that one.

[31:35] Conor Burke: Too school for cool.

[31:36] Conor Burke: Too school for cool.

[31:37] Conor Burke: That's me.

[31:39] Conor Burke: Put that on a T-shirt.

[31:41] Conor Burke: She gets me.

[31:42] Conor Burke: I know a millennial that would want one.

[31:45] Conor Burke: I want the T-shirt that's like from iCarly that just says banana toast or some shit.

[31:51] Conor Burke: I've got a text.

[31:53] Conor Burke: Oh my God.

[31:54] Conor Burke: I've got a text.

[31:55] Conor Burke: Speaking of.

[31:56] Conor Burke: I want culturally queer and I want...

[31:58] Conor Burke: Cynthia Erivo.

[32:00] Conor Burke: Cynthia Erivo.

[32:01] Conor Burke: It's all linked up.

[32:02] Conor Burke: It's all linked up.

[32:03] Conor Burke: Yeah, touch her hand.

[32:06] Conor Burke: Miranda Cosgrove is so millennial coded.

[32:08] Conor Burke: Oh gosh, yeah.

[32:10] Conor Burke: She would love this performance.

[32:12] Conor Burke: Probably fuck.

[32:15] Conor Burke: Probably fuck.

[32:18] Conor Burke: What else do we have to say about Raise Your Glass?

[32:19] Conor Burke: I feel so bad for the people that love this song.

[32:21] Conor Burke: Talking about Miranda Cosgrove.

[32:23] Conor Burke: Does anyone have anything to say about Raise Your Glass?

[32:26] Conor Burke: So, actually, let's lock back in.

[32:29] Conor Burke: The people that voted for this know what they did.

[32:32] Conor Burke: They know who they are and they know what they did.

[32:34] Conor Burke: And you're going to reap the consequences.

[32:36] Conor Burke: I'm so sorry.

[32:38] Conor Burke: No, wait.

[32:39] Conor Burke: Say something nice about this song.

[32:41] Conor Burke: Say something nice about this song challenge.

[32:44] Conor Burke: It was a moment.

[32:46] Conor Burke: It really was.

[32:48] Conor Burke: It's like 2011, but kind of like in a way that hasn't aged well with my spirit.

[32:55] Conor Burke: You know?

[32:57] Conor Burke: Yeah, it's millennial core, which could be a good thing, could be a bad thing.

[33:02] Conor Burke: I think in 20 years, my grandkids, wait, my children will be like...

[33:08] Conor Burke: You were right the first time.

[33:10] Conor Burke: Oh, my grandbabies.

[33:13] Conor Burke: Grandma, what were the millennials like?

[33:16] Conor Burke: And I'll show them this video.

[33:18] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[33:19] Conor Burke: No question.

[33:20] Conor Burke: Okay, another YouTube hit.

[33:21] Conor Burke: Another YouTube hit for the books.

[33:24] Conor Burke: Swifty Gleek Smiler posted this on YouTube.

[33:28] Conor Burke: It's going to hit.

[33:29] Conor Burke: Exactly.

[33:30] Conor Burke: She's going to be like, wow, somebody's streaming Raise Your Glass right now.

[33:34] Conor Burke: Someone's getting educated.

[33:36] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[33:37] Andrew McGuire: How are Warbler's songs faring?

[33:41] Allison Dodge: Andrew, in our first episode of round three with Jenny, Bills, Bills, Bills was the first loser of round three to maybe...

[33:51] Conor Burke: No.

[33:52] Conor Burke: It was like...

[33:53] Conor Burke: I forget what it was.

[33:54] Conor Burke: Total Eclipse of the Heart.

[33:56] Conor Burke: Bills, Bills, Bills.

[33:58] Conor Burke: Oh, Somewhere Only We Know is in round four.

[34:01] Conor Burke: We got that.

[34:02] Conor Burke: I think that's the only one.

[34:03] Conor Burke: You have to.

[34:04] Conor Burke: Okay.

[34:05] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[34:06] Conor Burke: How many Warbler songs do we want in round four?

[34:11] Conor Burke: I mean, that's different than Blolos.

[34:13] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[34:15] Conor Burke: Because we probably want like five or six Blolos total.

[34:19] Conor Burke: And how many of them are Warblers?

[34:21] Conor Burke: Maybe one.

[34:22] Conor Burke: Maybe one or two, depending on the Warbler era.

[34:26] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[34:27] Andrew McGuire: All right.

[34:30] Andrew McGuire: Let's see what we got next.

[34:31] Conor Burke: All right.

[34:33] Conor Burke: You forced my hand.

[34:34] Conor Burke: Where do we go from here, guys?

[34:36] Conor Burke: Oh.

[34:39] Conor Burke: Razorglass, you might be spared.

[34:43] Conor Burke: We might have found a cure for your sepsis.

[34:46] Conor Burke: We might have just found the cure, depending on how this conversation goes.

[34:51] Conor Burke: We might have found a specific strain of penicillin that can make you okay.

[34:57] Conor Burke: Get their hopes up just to kill them.

[35:00] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[35:01] Conor Burke: Just to murder them again.

[35:02] Conor Burke: Yeah, this is a really interesting competition because I actually don't know what you both feel about this song.

[35:08] Andrew McGuire: Oh, okay.

[35:10] Andrew McGuire: Audio Medium, we're looking at the Glee Club on the auditorium stage.

[35:14] Conor Burke: Do we have any concept?

[35:16] Andrew McGuire: Is it superstitious?

[35:19] Conor Burke: It's superstition, yeah.

[35:21] Andrew McGuire: Oh, wow.

[35:22] Conor Burke: Here we go.

[35:23] Andrew McGuire: Okay.

[35:26] Conor Burke: Oh, okay.

[35:27] Conor Burke: Okay, okay.

[35:30] Conor Burke: You look really teary-eyed.

[35:35] Conor Burke: What happened?

[35:37] Conor Burke: I'm just...

[35:39] Conor Burke: I'm really thinking about this competition.

[35:41] Conor Burke: This is crazy.

[35:44] Conor Burke: She just popped a weed brione, you guys.

[35:46] Conor Burke: She just popped a weed brione.

[35:48] Conor Burke: I took seven edibles.

[35:52] Conor Burke: This is so good.

[35:58] Conor Burke: I mean, we've got Mercedes, good.

[36:05] Conor Burke: I fully anticipated Mercedes to be like, Marley, don't be stingy with those runs, and then I expected Marley to not open her mouth at all.

[36:14] Conor Burke: Then she did.

[36:16] Conor Burke: Then she didn't.

[36:18] Conor Burke: She proved me wrong, and it was fun.

[36:21] Conor Burke: Marley doing her thing.

[36:24] Conor Burke: It's that Glee Club group, which I think is an interesting dynamic with Mercedes and Kurt in the mix.

[36:35] Conor Burke: That's pretty much it for my thoughts.

[36:38] Conor Burke: Wow.

[36:39] Conor Burke: Blaney Boy showed up toward the end.

[36:42] Conor Burke: Blaney Boy showed up towards the end, and I think he's wearing the outfit that he wore in the promo shot.

[36:49] Conor Burke: The gray striped cardigan.

[36:52] Conor Burke: This is not my favorite look, and I'm an outfit rememberer.

[37:01] Conor Burke: It's fun.

[37:03] Conor Burke: We're in a round.

[37:04] Conor Burke: We're singing at each other, which I think is a little bit more fun than in the choir room, to be honest.

[37:09] Conor Burke: We're all just jazzing up and moving around.

[37:13] Conor Burke: I think it's fun to look in the background and see Ryder moving really awkwardly.

[37:18] Conor Burke: Kurt moving really awkwardly.

[37:20] Conor Burke: Yeah, it's fun.

[37:23] Conor Burke: Is it better than Razor Glass?

[37:26] Conor Burke: I have to reflect.

[37:28] Andrew McGuire: We're going to give it some time before we cast those votes.

[37:32] Conor Burke: I've got to stew on this.

[37:33] Conor Burke: See, I love this, personally.

[37:36] Conor Burke: Now, I do want to start off by saying Melissa eats this up.

[37:42] Conor Burke: She sounds amazing.

[37:44] Conor Burke: Everyone, stop what you're doing.

[37:45] Conor Burke: Stream MP3 superstition, Melissa and Amber in particular.

[37:48] Conor Burke: They're eating this up.

[37:50] Conor Burke: That's fucking amazing.

[37:51] Conor Burke: I will say, Melissa's freelance dancing is so iconic to me, personally.

[37:58] Conor Burke: If you look really closely, there are some moves there that I'm genuinely not exaggerating.

[38:04] Conor Burke: One Conor Burke could do a better job.

[38:07] Conor Burke: There is this one particular move where she's like, okay, audio medium, no one will see this.

[38:12] Conor Burke: She's literally like this.

[38:13] Conor Burke: Wait.

[38:15] Conor Burke: She's literally like this.

[38:18] Conor Burke: How would you describe that?

[38:22] Conor Burke: Doing a crunch.

[38:23] Conor Burke: Oh, a crunch in the air, like standing.

[38:26] Conor Burke: Left elbow to right knee, standing.

[38:30] Conor Burke: It's almost like a Mario run.

[38:33] Andrew McGuire: Yeah, it is.

[38:35] Conor Burke: And actually, segue, segue.

[38:37] Conor Burke: Segue, segue.

[38:39] Conor Burke: Here we go.

[38:40] Conor Burke: This is my segue into the Western production of Evita.

[38:42] Conor Burke: Let me tell you why, Andrew.

[38:44] Conor Burke: Some of the choreography.

[38:46] Conor Burke: I was thinking that this would be the segue to the Glee Night, the drag, with Mercedes, of course.

[38:54] Andrew McGuire: But Evita, let's do Evita first.

[38:56] Conor Burke: Okay.

[38:57] Conor Burke: Some of the choreography.

[38:58] Conor Burke: I love Evita.

[39:01] Conor Burke: Spoiler, I love Evita.

[39:03] Conor Burke: Spoiler, gay guy likes Evita.

[39:05] Conor Burke: Some of the choreography in that production was kind of goofy.

[39:14] Conor Burke: And that's not a criticism.

[39:16] Conor Burke: It was just kind of goofy.

[39:17] Conor Burke: And they got away with it.

[39:19] Conor Burke: Why?

[39:21] Conor Burke: Because they're all hot.

[39:23] Conor Burke: There's one move where they're literally sitting here like this.

[39:25] Conor Burke: Okay.

[39:26] Conor Burke: They're sitting down.

[39:27] Conor Burke: Okay.

[39:28] Conor Burke: And they've got their hands on their knees.

[39:29] Conor Burke: And the choreography is literally this.

[39:31] Conor Burke: Now, when I do that, when I do that, I look ridiculous.

[39:35] Conor Burke: Because they're conventionally attractive, they get away with it.

[39:37] Conor Burke: And it's disgusting.

[39:39] Andrew McGuire: So that's my little segue into Evita.

[39:41] Andrew McGuire: Thank you.

[39:42] Andrew McGuire: I will extend on that.

[39:45] Andrew McGuire: Yes, Evita, it was great.

[39:48] Andrew McGuire: And everybody was very, very hot.

[39:50] Andrew McGuire: To your point, the male lead, I'm blanking on the character's name right now.

[39:56] Conor Burke: Che.

[39:57] Andrew McGuire: Che.

[39:59] Andrew McGuire: He is, spoiler alert, laying on the edge of the stage for maybe the last 30 minutes of the show on his stomach.

[40:11] Andrew McGuire: Ass just completely, like, what is the Shakira lyric?

[40:16] Conor Burke: You're confusing my breasts with mountains.

[40:19] Andrew McGuire: For mountains?

[40:20] Andrew McGuire: It was just like I was looking at his...

[40:23] Conor Burke: His booty cheeks out?

[40:24] Andrew McGuire: No.

[40:25] Andrew McGuire: It was just sitting so up.

[40:27] Andrew McGuire: So up that I was like, oh my God.

[40:29] Andrew McGuire: You're looking at Rachel Zegler and then you're looking down and you're like, these mountains.

[40:34] Conor Burke: So, guys, that's Andrew McGuire and Conor Burke's insight into the Western production of Evita.

[40:41] Andrew McGuire: Thank you so much.

[40:42] Andrew McGuire: That's beautiful.

[40:43] Andrew McGuire: That's really beautiful.

[40:44] Conor Burke: Don't confuse them with mountains, y'all.

[40:48] Andrew McGuire: No, it's just a butt.
