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

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

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

[0:26] Andrew: Gleek of the Week, Gleek, Gleek, Gleek of the Week.

[0:32] Andrew: It's Gleek, Gleek of the Week.

[0:35] Andrew: Wow wow wow wow, episode 151, episode 151.

[0:41] Andrew: We've completed 150 episodes of the Glacket.

[0:47] Andrew: Wow wow wow wow, yeah yeah yeah.

[0:51] Andrew: Whoa, who is that beautiful riff?

[0:55] Andrew: Who the heck is that?

[0:57] Allison: Um, hey baby, hey, um do you like the bit of me asking the guests to introduce themselves or is that ultimately so rude?

[1:07] Conor: No I would love to introduce myself.

[1:11] Conor: My name's Allison, you may know me from the entire first round of the Glacket, but not much of round two.

[1:18] Andrew: Remember her?

[1:21] Andrew: Remember that old bitch?

[1:23] Andrew: Feel old yet?

[1:24] Andrew: This is her now.

[1:25] Allison: Wait, I have a really good story about 151, can I tell it to you?

[1:31] Andrew: Should I bring in the other person or do you wait?

[1:34] Allison: Yeah sure.

[1:35] Allison: I do need to say that this is the most bizarre thing that's happened to me.

[1:40] Allison: Do you guys realize how strange this is for me right now to be in a podcast episode with Andrew and Allison?

[1:46] Conor: Hello?

[1:47] Andrew: Ian, you're doing such a great Connor impression, it is crazy.

[1:52] Allison: Um, that was, wait Connor, wait, I have so many ways that I want to bring this conversation but I want to allow Allison, you tell your 151 story.

[2:05] Allison: Yeah yeah yeah yeah, so I was at Disneyland for my 21st birthday and I was with a bunch of my new friends and we were staying at a hotel just off of Disneyland property but we were having dinner and drinks at Trader Sam's by Disneyland Hotel.

[2:28] Allison: And Trader Sam's is like a tiki bar kind of thing, they sell-

[2:32] Allison: Trader Sam's is part of the um, um, wait, Trader Sam's is part of the Jungle Cruise lore.

[2:38] Conor: Kinda, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, it's same, same universe, if you know what I mean.

[2:43] Allison: Jungle Cruise universe, the JCU, um, and um, they, it's my birthday, it's my birthday, and um, they bring out this giant volcano drink because, so what I had to do is I had to, if they would give me this drink for free if I ran around the bar and gave high fives to literally everybody in the bar and I did that, so I got this free drink and they bring it out to me and it's a giant volcano with what looks like a sugar cube on top.

[3:13] Allison: And my friend Beth just reaches over and is like, oh, a sugar cube! Puts it in her mouth.

[3:18] Allison: Cocaine?

[3:19] Allison: Just like, bleh.

[3:20] Allison: Spits it out and is like, what the fuck is that?

[3:25] Allison: And the server is like, oh, you don't like a sugar cube soaked in 151 rum?

[3:29] Allison: And proceeds to light the sugar cube on fire.

[3:33] Allison: That is the volcano of the drink.

[3:36] Conor: Oh, that is iconic.

[3:39] Allison: What a, what a segue.

[3:41] Allison: Happy 151, baby.

[3:43] Andrew: I'm so glad that you weren't on 150 because then you wouldn't be able to tell that story.

[3:47] Allison: I wouldn't have been able to tell that story, so you know what? That's why, we planned it that way.

[3:51] Conor: Already better than you.

[3:52] Allison: We planned it that way, yeah.

[3:54] Andrew: Right.

[3:55] Andrew: Absolutely.

[3:56] Andrew: Um, wait, Connor, you listened to our, the last time that we had a conversation, the three of us, like a few months ago?

[4:05] Conor: So, what, yeah, why did I listen to that episode again?

[4:09] Conor: There was a reason why I listened to it.

[4:11] Conor: I don't know why, but something happened.

[4:12] Conor: Worms in brain.

[4:13] Andrew: Yeah.

[4:14] Andrew: And I was like, I need to go back and listen to the first episode of Gleek of the Week again, guys.

[4:18] Andrew: We have to go back.

[4:19] Andrew: We have to go back.

[4:20] Andrew: In order to move forward, we have to go back.

[4:23] Conor: Connor, this is not a reference that you're getting.

[4:25] Conor: It's okay, it's okay.

[4:27] Andrew: Um, we, uh, we are so weirdly formal.

[4:31] Conor: Oh, it's disgusting.

[4:33] Conor: Like, it's very like, it's like, hello, how are you?

[4:37] Andrew: I'm okay, hi.

[4:38] Andrew: How are you?

[4:39] Conor: Oh, well.

[4:40] Conor: Thank you so much for coming on.

[4:41] Conor: What's your relationship with the TV show Glee?

[4:43] Andrew: Okay, next question.

[4:44] Andrew: Next question is.

[4:46] Andrew: Look, I do, much to popular belief, I do prefer talking, conversing in a shorter space of time, even though all of my episodes are like two and a half hours.

[4:57] Conor: Yeah, why would you say that?

[4:59] Andrew: But, but, it is crazy that that episode is 56 minutes long, and we talked about six songs plus a seven minute intro by you two.

[5:09] Conor: What?

[5:10] Andrew: That is crazy.

[5:11] Conor: That's my power.

[5:12] Conor: I'm an in and out kind of girl.

[5:13] Andrew: Right.

[5:14] Andrew: Yeah, exactly.

[5:15] Andrew: That's what, this episode is going to be 55 minutes long, guys.

[5:20] Conor: Alison is back.

[5:21] Andrew: What are we trying, and this is rude of me to ask in a recorded fashion, but what are we trying to aim for time-wise today?

[5:25] Conor: Like an hour and some change?

[5:31] Allison: That's what I was thinking.

[5:32] Allison: Like, I've got 90 minutes.

[5:33] Allison: I've got 90 minutes that I can, I can cut out.

[5:36] Allison: I worked through your publicist and they said, I can give you 90.

[5:40] Allison: No more.

[5:41] Allison: That's it.

[5:42] Allison: Once she's done with Glee Project Season 2, this bitch is going to be hard to catch.

[5:46] Allison: I'm done.

[5:47] Allison: I'm fully, fully checked out.

[5:49] Allison: Effectively talked about the entire Glee enterprise.

[5:52] Allison: Never again.

[5:53] Andrew: Okay.

[5:54] Andrew: So, how are we?

[5:55] Andrew: Okay.

[5:56] Andrew: I understand, Allison, you have a lot of grievances.

[5:57] Allison: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[5:58] Andrew: Connor, do you?

[5:59] Conor: It's going to take a long time.

[6:01] Andrew: Do we want to start with Connor as like a little like, um, prologue?

[6:14] Conor: Well, I have one.

[6:15] Conor: Okay, great.

[6:16] Conor: Then let's do that.

[6:17] Conor: Then let's start there.

[6:18] Conor: And actually I take it back.

[6:19] Conor: I don't even have a grievance.

[6:20] Conor: It's just a note.

[6:21] Conor: I do want to talk about, um, uh, Emily and Bree's episode most recently.

[6:26] Conor: So two weeks ago.

[6:28] Conor: So I love the two girlies, all the love to you.

[6:30] Conor: So there was a little bit of discourse around GleeCast version of Baby One More Time.

[6:36] Conor: And they were talking about, guys, this song is so bad.

[6:40] Conor: Now I need to make a weird analogy.

[6:42] Conor: Does anyone remember the internet viral sensation of the dress?

[6:47] Conor: What color is the dress?

[6:48] Conor: Black and blue or white and gold?

[6:50] Andrew: Okay.

[6:51] Conor: So I remember when that came out first, it was like 2013.

[6:55] Conor: It was my first year of college.

[6:57] Conor: And someone came up to me and showed me a picture of the dress on their phone.

[7:02] Conor: And they were like, what color is the dress?

[7:04] Conor: And I said, it's white and gold.

[7:06] Conor: And he started to laugh at me.

[7:09] Conor: He started to laugh at me.

[7:11] Conor: Okay.

[7:12] Conor: And he was like, oh my God, guys, everyone thinks Connor, Connor thinks the dress is white and gold and not blue and black.

[7:17] Conor: And I was like, stop.

[7:18] Conor: I thought I was being gaslit.

[7:20] Conor: Okay.

[7:21] Conor: Long story short, I looked at the picture again and it's been black and blue.

[7:26] Conor: I've not seen it as white and gold ever since.

[7:29] Conor: I see Baby One More Time as white and gold, where it seems like everyone else seems to see it as black and blue.

[7:37] Conor: People, gleeks alike, music critics, people and gleeks, everyone from music critics to hardcore fans to people who are only vaguely aware of the show, hate this song.

[7:46] Conor: And they see it as the blue and black.

[7:54] Conor: I'm over here being like, okay, I believe you, but it's not getting, it's not hitting me.

[8:00] Conor: I don't know what's so bad about it.

[8:03] Conor: Is it over the top?

[8:04] Conor: Is it very Broadway?

[8:06] Conor: Yes.

[8:07] Conor: But like, it's fun.

[8:08] Conor: I'm blind by it.

[8:10] Conor: Can you relate to this, Andrew?

[8:12] Andrew: Yeah, I would have went with the Laurel.

[8:14] Conor: Laurel.

[8:15] Andrew: Laurel.

[8:16] Conor: Yay.

[8:18] Conor: Or do you remember the green needle?

[8:24] Andrew: Brainstorm.

[8:29] Conor: Is that the most divisive Glee song?

[8:34] Conor: Are we pointing to that?

[8:36] Conor: I even remember when it was airing at the time, people were like, on social media, music critics were like, this is one of the worst songs they have ever, like, this was the big thing.

[8:45] Conor: I'm like, I believe everyone, but it's just, I can't hear it in my brain.

[8:52] Conor: What's the bad thing about it?

[8:54] Conor: Is Hit Me Baby One More Time from the first Britney episode or the second?

[8:58] Andrew: The first.

[8:59] Conor: The first.

[9:00] Andrew: The first.

[9:01] Andrew: Rachel in the sporty outfit, and then the details.

[9:03] Conor: Now, why do people hate that so much?

[9:06] Conor: That is a nuisance to me.

[9:07] Conor: I feel like, I feel like, but here's the thing, I feel like they could be right, but whatever it is in my brain is just, it's missing.

[9:15] Conor: Is it the cringe of the MP4?

[9:17] Conor: But also, I think that that's the bit, and it's supposed to be like that?

[9:20] Andrew: It's Glee Season 2.

[9:21] Conor: I'm so confused.

[9:22] Conor: I think that like, okay, I think that like, people want it to be potentially, this is me just like, pie in the sky, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

[9:31] Conor: Do people want it to be like, Quinn?

[9:33] Conor: Did they want it?

[9:34] Conor: Like this, that felt like a very like, unearned Rolo, you know, where it was just like, okay.

[9:40] Andrew: I don't think so.

[9:41] Conor: I don't think so.

[9:42] Andrew: Okay, wait, what do you think, Ben?

[9:45] Conor: I don't think so.

[9:46] Conor: No.

[9:47] Conor: I love this, I love the context of that song, because she's, and then she like, wears that fit to school after, and Finn's like, what the fuck are you doing?

[9:57] Andrew: Right, right, right.

[9:58] Conor: She's trying to show us.

[9:59] Conor: You want me to kill my family?

[10:00] Conor: I'll kill my parents, and I'll give you my house.

[10:05] Conor: Because this is our first little glimpse at hot Rachel, when Rachel knows that she's hot.

[10:12] Conor: When she finds out what makes her beautiful, that is when everything in this show changes.

[10:17] Andrew: She did know she was beautiful before One Direction, yeah.

[10:21] Conor: Exactly.

[10:22] Conor: Sure.

[10:23] Conor: Maybe a lot of the anger is coming from the spotlight competition of it all, Andrew?

[10:26] Andrew: I think that people, which I think, I have not listened back to the tapes, but Emily in the episode was listening to the episode while also recording, and she was like, trying to-

[10:38] Conor: Emily was, yeah, it was true investigative journalism.

[10:41] Andrew: She was trying to find out if I voted for Baby One More Time or Spotlight.

[10:46] Andrew: I definitely voted for Spotlight, even though I guess I didn't say it outwardly, but like, you and Alison Alamode did vote for Baby One More Time.

[10:56] Conor: Was Alison Alamode in that competition?

[10:58] Andrew: That was that episode, yeah.

[11:00] Conor: I truly do not know.

[11:02] Conor: I'm clucking my ears on this podcast.

[11:03] Conor: There's no way to distinguish.

[11:04] Andrew: There's absolutely no way.

[11:05] Andrew: I wish there was a spreadsheet to know these things.

[11:06] Conor: I wish there was.

[11:08] Conor: That is my only note, but I will say, Brie and Emily, like, here's the thing.

[11:14] Conor: I'm not disagreeing with you, like, I understand, this has been the discourse since the beginning of time, but I just, I'm waiting for it to hit me.

[11:23] Conor: I am waiting to see the dress in black and blue, you know?

[11:28] Andrew: Just one last time, yeah.

[11:30] Conor: Yeah, but at the moment, it's yellow and gold, and I just, I can't, I'm listening to it intently and I'm waiting for it to hit me, and it's just not happening.

[11:39] Andrew: Good news, it's still in the Glacket, so we will have to talk about it at least one more time.

[11:45] Andrew: Um, okay, so, Allison Dodge, the time has come for you to unleash the gate.

[11:53] Allison: She's returned.

[11:54] Allison: I have returned, and I've come with notes.

[11:57] Allison: All of you Leaks of Our Weeks that have come to episodes with pads of notes, I identify with you, I see you, and I hear you, because that's me right now.

[12:10] Allison: There are so many things that if I was still a regular host on this show, would have happened very differently.

[12:18] Allison: It would have happened, yeah, you're flatlining.

[12:20] Allison: Does nothing for me.

[12:59] Allison: Barely Breathing, Blaine Finn, 10 out of 10, the only Blaine Finn we ever get, and tasteful.

[13:08] Allison Dodge: Okay, okay. I hear you, I see you, I understand. So that would be very, very different. Um, would I... Bohemian Rhapsody vs. Gives You Hell. Okay, shut up. That is like so annoying to me. Stop! Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Let me say what I need to say, and you will understand my answer. I ask you a question, you give a response, I say shut up. So, Matt on last week's episode makes a really good point where he is talking about bad, and he's like, when are we going to start having some fun? When are we going to start having some interesting conversations? Because bad, yeah. But also, when are we going to start being real here? Is Bohemian Rhapsody going to make it to the end? Because, duh, Bohemian Rhapsody is going to make it to the end.

Are we going to have some nuanced conversations and some fun in this group chat? Um, I think Bohemian Rhapsody will make it to the end. It probably will. Because of the Quinn part, but I don't... Wait, what's the comparison between... Because of the Quinn part, not because of anything that's happened on the damn stage. But like, wait, what's the comparison to bad? Well, Matt was just making the point that like, maybe I had a point in my head, and I was like, oh, I'm going to spin what Matt said to fit what I want him to say. But when are we going to stop fucking around? Some of these songs, they are good. But there's nothing truly, at the end of the day, like I've heard Bohemian Rhapsody a million times.

I've heard bad a million times. You get it. I get it. I get the bit. It is very good. But at the end of the day, when I've heard it a million times, do I want to hear it a million and one? She said what she said.

[15:07] Conor Burke: Wait, so do you agree? So you agree with the decision made in last week's episode of the Alanis Carole King mashup?

[15:15] Allison Dodge: Oh, absolutely. No, hands down. Great. Thank you. That's all I was just looking for approval. Great. No, I agree with Bohemian Rhapsody going through over Gives You Hell, obviously. But I'm just like, what are we doing here?

[15:29] Conor Burke: Sure.

[15:29] Allison Dodge: Are we here to have some nuance? Or are we here to be like, don't stop believing in the birth of a new breed? Oh, here we are. 17 years later. So good. Me and my baby.

[15:41] Conor Burke: That's so true, though. Because sometimes I forget. Sometimes I genuinely forget that that's the end goal.

[15:46] Allison Dodge: There is a goal in mind.

[15:47] Conor Burke: I genuinely forget. Sometimes I'm like, it's not even a podcast anymore. It is simply just the most behemothly large project of all time.

[15:56] Allison Dodge: Okay, Chaperone. This is my project. This is a project. You have to take some time off. When I'm in the Zoom, I'm at work. Okay? My boss, Audio Medium, is behind me at all times, making sure the Glackett gets done.

[16:15] Conor Burke: Um, okay, wait, what else is on that sheet? Um, so I look to you versus a thousand miles.

[16:23] Allison Dodge: I get it. Yeah, it makes sense. Okay, the only thing I wanted to bring up is that I've downloaded Swipe Wipe.

[16:33] Conor Burke: Wait, what's Swipe Wipe?

[16:35] Allison Dodge: Oh, my God, Swipe Wipe, please sponsor this podcast. This is when I find out it's only available in America. I don't know. Actually, I have no proof to, you know, support this. But I think that it should be. Um, Swipe Wipe is an app where it just every day, it's like, what is today? September 29th. So every day, like September 29th, you go into Swipe Wipe. It shows you every photo, video on your phone taken on September 29th over the years. And it's like, hey, do you want this one? It's like Tinder. Swipe left to delete it, swipe right to keep it. And it's so I've saved so much storage. I love it. And a couple of days ago on my Swipe Wipe was a screenshot of text between me and Andrew. And I think I must have been rewatching season six.

This must have been like a year ago. Probably. I think I got that too. Yeah, I was watching season six. And I was like, oh, I think I shipped Sampchel. And you were like, I can't protect you anymore. Can't do this. This is a journey that you have to experience completely alone. By yourself.

[18:04] Conor Burke: And then I have a couple of more. I'm about halfway through my notes. It's not right, but it's okay versus what it feels like for a girl. I'm going to have to sit with that one for a long time.

[18:10] Allison Dodge: To make a decision?

[18:11] Conor Burke: For a long time to make a decision.

[18:13] Allison Dodge: I would not have been able to do that. Genuinely. And I commend the people that had to do that.

[18:19] Conor Burke: How long do you need?

[18:21] Allison Dodge: They are stronger.

[18:21] Conor Burke: Timer starts now.

[18:23] Allison Dodge: Years.

[18:24] Conor Burke: Okay.

[18:25] Allison Dodge: Years. I'll be sitting here. I hope you have Zoom premium because I'm going to go over the 30 minute limit.

[18:31] Conor Burke: I was going to be thinking about it.

[18:34] Allison Dodge: Okay, that makes sense. Those are two heavy hitters for you.

[18:38] Conor Burke: For me personally, what it feels like for a girl. There are so many of my ride or dies that are gone. What it feels like for a girl, lose my breath. May she rest in peace.

[18:46] Allison Dodge: Lose my breath is still around. Don't do that.

[18:48] Conor Burke: Really?

[18:49] Allison Dodge: She's still around. Marshall and Noah were like, hey, we're going to ensure that baby girl goes to see round three.

[18:55] Conor Burke: Alison is turning up to a funeral that is not really happening. She's not even dead. She's showing up at the funeral. Celebration of life. Where is everyone? Did people really hate her that much? Not even a casket? Damn.

[19:03] Conor Burke: Uninvited is gone. Sad.

[19:05] Allison Dodge: Sad to me. And then probably the worst contender of them all, Charlie and Patrick, I have your location and I'm going to find you. Fire and rain.

[19:12] Conor Burke: Wait, what was that against again?

[19:14] Allison Dodge: Yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't remember what it was against, but you two are criminals and I'm putting you on the no fly list.

[19:21] Conor Burke: No fly list? Wait, I need to find out what it was against.

[19:25] Allison Dodge: Jesus Christ. I didn't write down what it was against. I just have a little list of my ride or dies are gone and I'm sad. I'm going to find it. I love fire and rain. I can only imagine that it didn't go through because of the quarterback of it all. I feel like...

[19:36] Conor Burke: Lost to like a virgin.

[19:38] Allison Dodge: Do you still say...

[19:39] Conor Burke: That's just wrong.

[19:40] Allison Dodge: Okay. Porn. That's just wrong. Porn beating the quarterback. That's fucked up.

[19:46] Conor Burke: Yeah. That's fucked up. What does that say about us as a society?

[19:50] Allison Dodge: And then Go Your Own Way versus L-O-V-E.

[19:54] Conor Burke: Yeah, come on.

[19:55] Allison Dodge: Okay. What are you doing?

[19:56] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[19:56] Allison Dodge: What are you doing? Okay, you act, I was on... Wait, I was on the next episode and I was like, guys, Go Your Own Way gone home. And I was literally like dragged by you and whoever it was. I was like, wait, what? The Rolos are really taking a hit in.

[20:07] Conor Burke: Okay.

[20:08] Allison Dodge: The Rolos are really taking a hit. I know that we're going to leave round two and there's still going to be like 30 Rolos.

[20:13] Conor Burke: 30 Rolos.

[20:14] Allison Dodge: Yeah. There's literally like 39 left. Right. Yeah, it's like we're pretty much all accounted for except for Go Your Own Way.

[20:20] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[20:21] Allison Dodge: And then I did get name dropped in last week's episode regarding how I might feel about Come What May.

[20:25] Conor Burke: Yes, please.

[20:27] Allison Dodge: And Come What May versus Cherish Cherish. Cherish Cherish means nothing to me. Cherish Cherish means absolutely goddamn nothing to me. I am so sorry.

[20:34] Conor Burke: I didn't need that extension of that.

[20:37] Allison Dodge: Come What May, it is not my favorite Moulin Rouge song. But it is a good plain duet. And I heard you asking about the like, oh, maybe in the movie, they're like going back and seeing these scenes because Clayton like has a whole fucking drive through of their entire relationship during the song. That does, I don't think that happens in the movie. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman are just standing there on top of the elephant singing to each other.

[20:57] Conor Burke: Do you still like, so do you like the, do you like the Glee version?

[20:59] Allison Dodge: I do. I don't know what I said round one. Right. I don't know her. I wish it was recorded. Yeah. I wish it was recorded. I wish I could know. But I do like it and I would pick it over Cherish Cherish because I.

[21:10] Conor Burke: Really?

[21:11] Allison Dodge: Yes. Got it. I understand. My favorite part of Come What May is at the very end when it cuts to them watching Moulin Rouge in the apartment and it's just Santana giving the side eye to Kurt like. Like, exactly. He's fantasizing. The extent of love. Yeah. For that musical performance. I was glad to see it go. I'll say it.

[21:29] Conor Burke: Okay. But aren't I in the minority?

[21:32] Allison Dodge: I feel bad because I think that there's a lot of Britannia representation. And week to week. There's not a lot of claim as we continue. And that's what I'm here for. That's what I'm here to do in this episode.

[21:43] Conor Burke: That's also what you said in round one.

[21:45] Allison Dodge: And people were like, damn, this is our president.

[21:48] Conor Burke: And you were like, get them out of here.

[21:51] Allison Dodge: Get them out.

[21:52] Conor Burke: Eliminated. Any final notes?

[21:55] Allison Dodge: I have some songs that I would love to come out of that cup.

[21:58] Conor Burke: Okay.

[21:59] Allison Dodge: Let's hear them. I would love to hear something topical. I think right now is Wicked. So I'd love to hear a For Good.

[22:06] Conor Burke: That's a good one.

[22:07] Allison Dodge: If we were if we were doing it. I also my the 10 year reunion. I did not go for my high school was yesterday.

[22:13] Conor Burke: And why didn't you go for good?

[22:15] Allison Dodge: Oh, my God. Yeah. Talk us through the reasoning for that. Because I feel like that's coming up for me. And I would love to hear your side of things. It was it was a very small group of people. And I mean, I'm dating a man who I knew in high school. And a lot of my close friends are from high school. So it's like, I already have a high school reunion. Yeah, yeah. I already do the damn thing. But it did make me think about For Good. So I would love to hear that one. I would also love to hear Get It Right. I'd love an original song out here.

[22:42] Conor Burke: Get it right. Get it right. Get it tight.

[22:44] Allison Dodge: Yeah. Get it right. Get it tight. And then or just something that otherwise wouldn't go through if I wasn't here.

[22:51] Conor Burke: Okay, that's a good one.

[22:52] Allison Dodge: That's what I need. I need that. Because I feel like as someone who is on the Zoom with the two OG Gleek of the Week presenters, I feel like I could be swayed now either way. You know?

[23:02] Conor Burke: Sway, a big one that you that you kind of had your stamp on. Audio medium. We're doing the hand heart. We miss you every day, baby. Hope you're well. Big, fat, juicy kiss. Um, Connor, is there anything specifically that you're looking for?

[23:15] Conor Burke: I'm just, I'm just looking for a fucking good time. Like, is that too much to ask? Come on. Can we start having fun? Is that too much to ask? Gleek of the Week podcast, please.

[23:25] Allison Dodge: Wait, I want to know, audio medium, Andrew has just pulled up the big quench cup. Audio medium, I want to know, as a glistener, Alice and Dodge, where has your big quench cup disappeared to?

[23:36] Allison Dodge: I have it.

[23:37] Conor Burke: Oh, you have it?

[23:38] Allison Dodge: I have it.

[23:39] Conor Burke: Oh, that was underwhelming.

[23:41] Allison Dodge: Do you want to see it?

[23:43] Conor Burke: I had to turn in my keys. I had to turn in my badge.

[23:47] Allison Dodge: We deleted your work email.

[23:49] Conor Burke: Yeah. I don't have access to Teams anymore.

[23:51] Allison Dodge: Almost immediately after.

[23:53] Conor Burke: Right, right. You're handing your Gleek card.

[23:56] Allison Dodge: Okay, here we go. Song number one.

[23:59] Conor Burke: Okay.

[24:03] Allison Dodge: Oh, audio medium, Andrew is having a hissy fit. Because I wanted something big, but we have five more songs after this.

[24:10] Conor Burke: We got time.

[24:11] Allison Dodge: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, here we are. Audio medium, everyone's two favorite characters, Ryder and Jake. Winner of the Glee Project season two, spoiler alert. Do we have a shot in the dark? What the heck are they about to start singing? I am Superman?

[24:25] Conor Burke: No.

[24:26] Allison Dodge: It's like you're never gonna- it's fucking My Life.

[24:29] Conor Burke: My Life from the Billy Joel episode.

[24:31] Allison Dodge: Okay, I was literally about to say that, but thank you. You're never gonna get it.

[26:17] ♪ Musical number: "My Life" — performed by Glee Cast ♪

[39:03] Andrew: Alright, let's move on to the next song.

[39:25] ♪ Musical number: "Ice Ice Baby" — performed by Vanilla Ice ♪

[39:54] Andrew: I have things to say about this, but Allison, I want to start with you. What do you think about Ice Ice Baby?

[39:59] Allison Dodge: I, unironically, really loved it. Really, really loved it. The thing is, is that it always makes me think of Hannah McElwain. Love that girl bad. Love that girl bad. That's crazy that you have her last name ingrained in... That's crazy to me. Burned into my skull. Love Hannah. Love Glee Project. Loved the Ice Ice Baby. What did they mash that up with? Under Pressure?

[40:28] Conor Burke: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[40:30] Allison Dodge: That was when Glee Project was at its peak. When the slushie was coming... They went down, they leaned down to drink out of the water fountain, and instead of water... Slushie.

[40:38] Conor Burke: Slushie. Just jet into the face.

[40:41] Allison Dodge: Iconic. Iconic. Pregnant Quinn. It's got everything. Pregnant Quinn. Pregnant Quinn. Jesse St. James as part of the Glee Club. Wrapping Mr. Shoe. Season 1 on film. It's great. It's good. And I was thinking, they use... It's like a bit as they go on in the later seasons. After it's been seasons, after he's had his last wrap, that they're like, oh, I hope that you don't wrap. And it's like, I have the tape. He did that twice. Twice. Twice. And also I have the tape. And y'all fucking enjoyed the fuck out of this. Loved it. Exactly.

[41:23] Conor Burke: What?

[41:26] Allison Dodge: Yeah.

[41:27] Conor Burke: You joined in.

[41:28] Allison Dodge: You joined in. You wanna watch yourself? You were complicit. You were complicit with this. And honestly, for good reason. It was fun. It's fun. But also, this goes back to the point that I often make with the Mr. Shoester of it all and the cringe. Sometimes I don't cringe when he's wrapping. Let's stop with that. This is one of those examples. I just don't cringe. I don't find it cringey. I find it fun. I think they've reached a point where it's like, okay, they don't do it for a few seasons. And then I think that he comes back with blurred lines. I think that's his return to wrapping.

[42:03] Conor Burke: Which is fair that it's like, hey, that shouldn't be happening.

[42:07] Allison Dodge: Of course. Same love is probably. Same love is even more egregious. It's so. They kind of play it as like, same love and blurred lines are like kind of the same level of offensive as Isaiah's baby and bust a move. That it's like, no, no, no. These two things are so separate. Don't do that.

[42:28] Conor Burke: You are so right. And you should say it.

[42:30] Allison Dodge: Yeah, so right. Like they're on a completely different playing field. We. This is fun. Like, I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna say it out loud. This is fun. And it's from a great episode. I do have to say, pick up on Alison's point. The pregnant Quinn is everything to me. If I was ever. If I was a woman. And if I was pregnant, I would be acting the exact same way that Quinn acts when she's pregnant.

[42:56] Conor Burke: Yeah, basically like running around. Like, I. Come on, give up the funk, please.

[43:02] Allison Dodge: Oh, please. God. Like, this is. Whoa. That was crazy.

[43:06] Conor Burke: Literally nearly broke my chair.

[43:14] Andrew: Wow. OK. So. No, you will not. Thank you so much. No, we're not doing that. We're not doing that.

[43:23] Conor Burke: This is.

[43:24] Allison Dodge: Oh, go ahead.

[43:25] Conor Burke: Oh, no.

[43:27] Allison Dodge: Oh, I say Connor, go first.

[43:31] Conor Burke: Oh, yeah. I do remember. I was just going to say, just talking about Quinn. I do remember a quote from this episode in which he says to Mr. Schuster, a bad reputation is better than no reputation at all. And I'm like, oh, she's been she made points. Yeah, she made points. And I'm like, maybe that's very much like this song. You know, a bad reputation is better than no reputation at all. Because what was it up against? Oh, gosh. Connor, I need to have like these things fucking ready when you ask these.

[44:01] Andrew: Yeah, you really should. Jesus.

[44:03] Conor Burke: Oh, you've been doing this for 151.

[44:05] Andrew: Ice baby. Jesus, where are you? Oh, it was against. Oh, that's actually kind of a harder competition in hindsight. I only have eyes for you, which I get it. We get rid of it. What even is that? I don't know what that is.

[44:21] Allison Dodge: Okay. Who the hell is that? Who is she?

[44:27] Conor Burke: Wait, what was that?

[44:30] Allison Dodge: Mama, a girl behind you. And that girl is whatever the fuck you just said.

[44:35] Andrew: That's so good.

[44:38] Conor Burke: Guys, I don't even know what that was.

[44:42] Allison Dodge: Wait, we're all referencing different things.

[44:45] Conor Burke: Wait, I'm referencing the little girl that farts.

[44:48] Allison Dodge: That farts. What was that?

[44:50] Conor Burke: Allison's referencing the bitmoji.

[44:53] Allison Dodge: I'm referencing Wendy Williams.

[44:55] Conor Burke: Wait, what was that? The zombie in the.

[44:59] Allison Dodge: What was that?

[45:02] Conor Burke: Oh, that's so great. Is that one slide in the carousel or three? I'm not even sure.

[45:07] Allison Dodge: What even was that? This is a mashup of all of them playing at the same time with slight transparency. It's just like, what was that?

[45:18] Conor Burke: Mama, I only have eyes for you.

[45:24] Allison Dodge: It's behind you.

[45:26] Conor Burke: He's right behind me, isn't he?

[45:31] Allison Dodge: I only have eyes for you is a rideolo from the Sadie Hawkins episode.

[45:37] Conor Burke: Yeah, no, it deserves to have gone. Are you going to try to justify it?

[45:40] Allison Dodge: No, because he sounds beautiful.

[45:42] Conor Burke: He sounds good.

[45:43] Allison Dodge: Okay, he sounds beautiful, but no, I still would have voted for this. And I think it's a really beautiful song and it has a beautiful sentiment. It's like, oh yeah, I only have eyes for you. I do enjoy Ryder's singing voice. I've said it before on tape, but no, this is a lot more fun. I would have.

[45:54] Conor Burke: Okay.

[45:56] Allison Dodge: Okay. So I'm not even going to try to justify it. Are we voting? I have one final note to say.

[46:03] Conor Burke: Okay.

[46:04] Allison Dodge: If we're going to bring up Quinn dancing, the thing that always tickles me with this performance, the Tina dancing, I feel like as the series goes on, they try to make her out to be not a dancer. Jake literally has a line in season five that he's like, oh, we're going to do some choreography that Tina can even keep up with that. I'm like, wait a minute. That's so fucking rude. That's so rude. Yeah. She should. She can move her body. That's so unnecessary. She's pulling her weight. Anyway, that's. Yeah. And she's stuttering at this point. Right? At this point in the season, she gave that bit up.

[46:36] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[46:37] Allison Dodge: Oh, she gave that bit up. Yeah. I'm going Ice Ice Baby Baby.

[46:39] Conor Burke: I'm going Ice Ice Baby too.

[46:41] Allison Dodge: Ice Ice Baby Baby is such a, that's a great title of app. Ice Ice Baby Baby. Ice Ice Baby Baby. Um, yeah, I agree. My life. Sorry. My life is over. I agree. Um, okay. Going on to another competition.

[46:56] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do that. Okay. All right. Here's a, here's another song. Ooh. Whoa. Oh, I'm scared.

[47:09] Conor Burke: Uh, um, it's just like a, it's a big one.

[47:13] Allison Dodge: It's a big.

[47:14] Conor Burke: Let's, let's see. You're going to know exactly.

[47:16] Allison Dodge: A big one or a long one?

[47:18] Conor Burke: Um, it is. How long is this? Like big, long or big.

[47:21] Allison Dodge: Oh, I saw it. I saw it.

[47:22] Conor Burke: You saw it. I gave it away.

[47:25] Allison Dodge: Okay. Play that mama. Play that mama.

[1:06:03] Conor: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:06:33] ♪ Musical number: "We Are Young" — performed by Fun. ♪

[1:09:03] Andrew: See, this is why I needed you on this episode. Because I feel like this is like a really divisive song for like no reason.

[1:09:07] Conor: We Are Young?

[1:09:16] Andrew: It is. Yeah, I feel like people don't get her.

[1:09:19] Conor: People don't understand her like I do.

[1:09:21] Andrew: And it's almost like, it's not to the level of like Cherish Cherish where I'm like, I feel like I fully understand her.

[1:09:26] Conor: You need to go to therapy over Cherish Cherish.

[1:09:28] Andrew: But like every episode you talk about Cherish Cherish. Talk about this damn song.

[1:09:33] Conor: Cherish Cherish has opened up to me in ways that no one will ever understand. Cherish Cherish has told me deep dark secrets. And I'm dying with those secrets. And I think that We Are Young is kind of like misunderstood in that regard too. I think that people don't like her.

[1:09:49] Andrew: No, people don't.

[1:09:52] Conor: I...

[1:09:54] Andrew: Who?

[1:09:55] Conor: Allison Dodge being one of them.

[1:09:58] Andrew: But why? What did she ever do to you?

[1:10:01] Conor: Refusing to learn the name.

[1:10:03] Andrew: Nothing. But it's just so like, I've seen this film before. And I didn't like the ending. Like it's already...

[1:10:12] Conor: You didn't like Dog Days Are Over?

[1:10:18] Andrew: Well, presumably you didn't like Dog Days Are Over.

[1:10:20] Conor: I'm also not a Dog Days Are Over person.

[1:10:22] Andrew: See, that's gross. But this one specifically, it's like there's nothing that really is special about it. It's a group number. If it had been in the choir room, I think might have been a little bit more fun.

[1:10:39] Conor: Sure.

[1:10:40] Andrew: Contain them.

[1:10:41] Conor: Put them back in their box.

[1:10:43] Andrew: But there's just nothing crazy about it. I get really distracted by the line, taken by some sunglasses. Asking about a scar. I've never understood that line.

[1:10:56] Conor: I don't get it.

[1:10:59] Andrew: I will say that lyrically, the song is, I know I gave it to you months ago. What's that mean?

[1:11:04] Conor: Mono.

[1:11:07] Andrew: You would know.

[1:11:09] Conor: Maybe I would. Maybe I would. And I'm living with that. I embrace my past.

[1:11:14] Andrew: This is true.

[1:11:19] Conor: No. But I think that Fun's lyrics just generally don't make sense. I remember, what's the lyric in Some Nights that really fucks me up? Some nights I stay up.

[1:11:27] Andrew: There's a martyr in my bed tonight.

[1:11:33] Conor: Yeah, and my heart is breaking. There's a martyr in my bed tonight.

[1:11:37] Andrew: Jack Antonoff?

[1:11:38] Conor: Oh, that is Jack, yeah. Remember how he was in that?

[1:11:41] Andrew: I did forget. Crazy.

[1:11:45] Conor: So, yeah, their lyrics don't make sense. And I've learned to live with that. We did have a great Quin Sadie's moment in this. Loved it. That's points for me.

[1:11:56] Andrew: Sugar just kind of standing there when she enters with Mercedes, Santana, Quinn, Brittany, kind of weird.

[1:12:01] Conor: What was the conversation?

[1:12:05] Andrew: No, I want to live in that space a little bit longer. Because that always does take me out. Sugar wasn't in that scene prior to this song. She joined on the way as they were walking down the corridor. Where are you guys going? Let me catch up with you. Hey, where are you guys? I contractually have to be in this episode for a sad reason. Let me just follow you to the auditorium. I want to see what you're doing.

[1:12:32] Conor: I love Rachel Berry's outfit in this. The little cute yellow beret has always done it for me. And the long skirt always kind of breaks my heart.

[1:12:42] Andrew: When the angels have arrived, but I can hear the choir of the Naya of it all. That makes me emotional. I love her. I love her.

[1:12:54] Conor: I remember when this episode dropped back in the day. I was so viscerally in love with this. I was like, oh my God, this is going to keep me going. Because the following episode, I think, was the Christmas episode. And then it was on a break, I think. I was like, that song is going to keep me going over the Christmas break. I have the goods for the next few months. I have enough here. There is enough content here. I have enough supply. I love it.

[1:13:24] Andrew: I really do. This is an illegal note. This is a personal note that comes up every time I think about this song. Toffee, a cat that lives with me. She does this thing in the morning some days. Maybe I've told you this exact story before, Allison. But I'm almost positive it wasn't in recorded fashion. That when she's hungry, she'll start drumming. And she'll drum on, there's a wooden closet right to my left here. And she'll just start banging on it. One morning, Elias and I were in bed. She starts drumming. And it's the beginning drums to We Are Young. And it goes, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. And me and Elias turn to each other. And we're like, is that We Are Young? Guys, am I crazy? Or am I door closing sound? We are young. She's just so talented. She's been hanging out with Jack. Miss him.

[1:14:31] Conor: That's what comes up. I just Googled, this song, We Are Young, sold over 455,000 digital downloads in the U.S., making it the seventh best-selling Glee song. So there's obviously a lot of people who love this. And it was also, I think that Adam Anders talked about this song. And he was like, I don't know if they had another song planned to sing or something. But then he was like, I want to do We Are Young. It's very underground. He essentially brought it to Ryan. And it was like a not well-known song at all. But then, I don't know if you recall, it played fucking all the time on the radio. All the time. And it was because of Glee bringing it to that next level that everyone was like, wait, what the hell is this?

[1:15:21] Andrew: I know. I do prefer this to the original, though.

[1:15:24] Conor: Yes.

[1:15:25] Andrew: I do like this cover.

[1:15:27] Conor: Yes, I prefer the cover to the original 100%.

[1:15:30] Andrew: Oh, I prefer the cover.

[1:15:32] Conor: Oh, yeah. I think it's one of those songs where just from a production standpoint, like, they really aged with, like, giving Lea Michele a line or two, giving whoever, like, the way they blended the vocal. Like, it was so good. Like, really impressive. I love it.

[1:15:47] Andrew: So. How are you voting?

[1:15:51] Conor: I think. Okay, wait. So I think that I know how, Allison, you're going. I know how I'm going.

[1:15:58] Andrew: Okay. So, Allison, you want to vote first? Or in this way?

[1:16:01] Allison: I'm doing We Are Young.

[1:16:04] Conor: I am going to go with.

[1:16:09] Andrew: Is it an easy choice for you?

[1:16:11] Conor: Yeah. I'm going to go with We Are Young.

[1:16:14] Andrew: Wow. That's crazy.

[1:16:16] Conor: That's crazy.

[1:16:18] Andrew: Did it hurt?

[1:16:21] Conor: I think it is.

[1:16:23] Andrew: It hurt? I hope some Gleeks have some things to say about that.

[1:16:27] Conor: Oh, they will. That's going to be divisive on the Instagram polls. We know it.

[1:16:31] Andrew: I think so, too. I think so, too. It was just. Wow. I was like, how much more of Emma's titties do I really need? And the answer is.

[1:16:38] Conor: A lot.

[1:16:39] Andrew: I need them all the time.

[1:16:40] Conor: Of course you do. Those mama milkers.

[1:16:42] Andrew: Yeah. Those mama milkers. Those comments. And just like, out of context, that shot of her, just, if you have that clip of the episode, mute it.

[1:16:55] Conor: I know. It goes from her head up. And then it's just like, wait. She's just showing. If you just show it to anybody, that's like, oh, she's just opening a shirt. What is she doing?

[1:17:05] Andrew: OCD. I'm sorry, Allison. That's sad.

[1:17:09] Allison: No, that's fine. I think that you're going to regret that.

[1:17:14] Andrew: I'm going to remember that.

[1:17:17] Conor: That was a hard one, though. That was hard. That's a tough competition.

[1:17:22] Allison: Not for me, but I can see why it would be for other people.

[1:17:25] Conor: Oh, whoa. I have another song. Last competition, first song.

[1:17:31] Andrew: Whoa.

[1:17:36] Conor: It's a short one. Under a minute long.

[1:17:40] Andrew: Oh, okay.

[1:17:41] Conor: What season?

[1:17:44] Andrew: We already know what the hell this is. Come on, Allison.

[1:17:49] Conor: Come on.

[1:17:50] Allison: I haven't watched anything. I haven't watched Glee ever.

[1:17:55] Conor: In years.

[1:17:58] Andrew: It is I Say a Little Prayer.

[1:18:00] Conor: Oh, fun.

[1:18:50] Andrew: Let me get this straight. You're joining Glee Club?

[1:18:53] Conor Burke: I just want to point out that last shot of all of them together.

[1:18:59] Allison Dodge: I fucking loved that picture of them so much in high school that I printed it out and hid it behind the pencil case in my bedroom so that I could just move the pencil case and there they would be.

[1:19:15] Allison Dodge: And I would just look at it and I was like, they are just stunning individuals.

[1:19:20] Conor Burke: They are.

[1:19:22] Allison Dodge: They are really stunning, however, what's going to work against this song at the end of the day I hope no.

[1:19:30] Allison Dodge: What's going to work at the end of the day is it's not Naya's voice and it's not Heather's voice.

[1:19:34] Conor Burke: I knew you were going to say that!

[1:19:36] Allison Dodge: I think that adds it.

[1:19:38] Conor Burke: I don't know if it was purposely funny, but I think it's funny.

[1:19:41] Allison Dodge: That is camp.

[1:19:44] Conor Burke: That it's like, oh, this is definitely not two people doing the backing.

[1:19:46] Allison Dodge: No, this is a full choir.

[1:19:48] Conor Burke: This is a full choir. This is definitely not Heather and Naya.

[1:19:51] Allison Dodge: But I don't know.

[1:19:53] Allison Dodge: It subtracts points for you, it adds points for me.

[1:19:55] Conor Burke: Interesting.

[1:19:57] Andrew: Okay.

[1:19:59] Allison Dodge: This is just an iconic staple.

[1:20:01] Allison Dodge: I don't really know what to say about it because so much has been said about it.

[1:20:05] Allison Dodge: So much has been written in the written text about this song.

[1:20:09] Allison Dodge: We have the memes, the recreations on TikTok.

[1:20:12] Conor Burke: Has anyone ever tried to learn the choreography to this?

[1:20:15] Allison Dodge: Because it's actually a lot harder than it looks.

[1:20:18] Conor Burke: Oh, so you have.

[1:20:20] Allison Dodge: I have. Emphasis on the word try.

[1:20:22] Conor Burke: Try.

[1:20:24] Allison Dodge: I like the makeup.

[1:20:26] Allison Dodge: And I love the way how we very rarely, there's some shots where the camera is literally on the ceiling.

[1:20:30] Conor Burke: And you can just see their heads.

[1:20:32] Allison Dodge: Which is a very interesting thing for Glee to do.

[1:20:35] Conor Burke: We need more of that.

[1:20:37] Allison Dodge: I want to see more of their heads.

[1:20:39] Conor Burke: Show me more head.

[1:20:41] Allison Dodge: If they're balding, I want to see it.

[1:20:43] Conor Burke: Show me more head.

[1:20:45] Andrew: It's a Pornhub comment.

[1:20:47] Conor Burke: Jesus Christ.

[1:20:49] Andrew: This ain't Glee.

[1:20:51] Conor Burke: This is...

[1:20:53] Allison Dodge: I think Showmance is a better episode than The Pilot.

[1:20:56] Andrew: In what way?

[1:20:58] Allison Dodge: In every way.

[1:21:00] Allison Dodge: I think it's so much funnier.

[1:21:02] Allison Dodge: I think the musical performances are better.

[1:21:04] Allison Dodge: I just really enjoy this episode.

[1:21:06] Allison Dodge: It's so funny.

[1:21:08] Conor Burke: The Pilot is iconic in its own ways.

[1:21:10] Conor Burke: It's introducing these characters, this world, this universe.

[1:21:12] Allison Dodge: Excellent. Brilliant.

[1:21:14] Conor Burke: They have a lot of ground to cover.

[1:21:16] Allison Dodge: Showmance is just a funner watch.

[1:21:18] Conor Burke: Diana is hardly even in The Pilot as well.

[1:21:20] Allison Dodge: Naya even less so.

[1:21:22] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:21:24] Allison Dodge: They're just showing up.

[1:21:26] Conor Burke: I think they have that one scene where they're like, RuPaul.

[1:21:29] Allison Dodge: Yeah.

[1:21:31] Conor Burke: At the lockers with Finchel.

[1:21:33] Allison Dodge: And then Naya has her first line in Showmance, doesn't she?

[1:21:36] Conor Burke: Right. That's true.

[1:21:38] Allison Dodge: Clock it.

[1:21:40] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:21:42] Allison Dodge: It's going to be hard to beat.

[1:21:44] Conor Burke: No?

[1:21:46] Allison Dodge: I'm scared.

[1:21:48] Conor Burke: This is like an ultimate glee performance.

[1:21:50] Allison Dodge: It almost feels a little too good to be true.

[1:21:52] Conor Burke: Wait.

[1:21:54] Conor Burke: You can't say that about this and then not say that about Born This Way.

[1:21:57] Allison Dodge: Don't do that.

[1:21:59] Conor Burke: No.

[1:22:01] Conor Burke: They are not the same thing.

[1:22:03] Allison Dodge: Born This Way is better than this to me.

[1:22:05] Conor Burke: That's wild to me.

[1:22:07] Conor Burke: Born This Way and this are probably in my top 50 glee songs.

[1:22:10] Allison Dodge: That's a wide spectrum.

[1:22:12] Conor Burke: Top 50?

[1:22:14] Allison Dodge: Really?

[1:22:16] Conor Burke: No.

[1:22:18] Allison Dodge: Where are we throwing down both of them?

[1:22:20] Conor Burke: I don't know.

[1:22:22] Conor Burke: I'd say they're in my top 50.

[1:22:24] Allison Dodge: Which I think is a sincerely...

[1:22:26] Conor Burke: That's good.

[1:22:28] Allison Dodge: Out of 666 songs.

[1:22:30] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:22:32] Conor Burke: I mean, they're both good.

[1:22:34] Conor Burke: They're both good.

[1:22:36] Conor Burke: I mean, they're both giving me something.

[1:22:38] Allison Dodge: So I can see where Miss Dodge is coming from, you know?

[1:22:41] Conor Burke: Miss Dodge.

[1:22:43] Allison Dodge: Miss Dodge.

[1:22:45] Conor Burke: I'm her lawyer.

[1:22:47] Allison Dodge: We're back to being formal again.

[1:22:49] Conor Burke: You pissed me off.

[1:22:51] Allison Dodge: We're going back to formal, full government name.

[1:22:53] Andrew: What is your relationship with the hit Fox show Glee?

[1:22:57] Conor Burke: I really like this.

[1:22:59] Conor Burke: I remember there was an interview with Corey.

[1:23:02] Conor Burke: This is so corny to even bring up.

[1:23:04] Conor Burke: But he was like, him watching this performance was like, oh, he understood what the show was about.

[1:23:08] Conor Burke: And I was like, oh, okay.

[1:23:10] Conor Burke: So it even adds more, I don't know.

[1:23:12] Conor Burke: I really like it.

[1:23:14] Allison Dodge: This is crazy that I feel like I need to convince you guys to like this song.

[1:23:17] Conor Burke: Wait, what, me?

[1:23:19] Allison Dodge: You're convincing me.

[1:23:21] Conor Burke: Connor is sold, I think.

[1:23:23] Allison Dodge: What are you on about?

[1:23:25] Conor Burke: No, because Connor is kind of understanding.

[1:23:27] Allison Dodge: Because I'm an understanding person.

[1:23:29] Conor Burke: Whereas me, no.

[1:23:31] Allison Dodge: Yeah.

[1:23:33] Allison Dodge: We have one final song.

[1:23:35] Andrew: Is there final words about I Say A Little Prayer?

[1:23:38] Allison Dodge: I'm scared for her.

[1:23:40] Allison Dodge: I have one final note about it.

[1:23:42] Allison Dodge: The extended cut exists on YouTube.

[1:23:44] Allison Dodge: Everybody already knows this.

[1:23:46] Conor Burke: Yeah, the extended cut is iconic.

[1:23:48] Conor Burke: It's only like 20 seconds longer.

[1:23:50] Allison Dodge: Did the unholy trinity ever reach those heights?

[1:23:53] Conor Burke: Oh, that we're set.

[1:23:55] Allison Dodge: That's a great point.

[1:23:57] Allison Dodge: Because they try.

[1:23:59] Conor Burke: Toxic, season five.

[1:24:01] Conor Burke: But Toxic season five and Problem are all trying to reach the peak that was set by this song.

[1:24:05] Conor Burke: I would say.

[1:24:07] Andrew: What do you think, Connor?

[1:24:09] Conor Burke: Therein lies the problem.

[1:24:11] Conor Burke: I don't agree.

[1:24:13] Conor Burke: You can track Glee's demise by the fact that the unholy trinity's best song was the first song they ever performed on the show.

[1:24:17] Conor Burke: In the second episode.

[1:24:19] Conor Burke: It never got better.

[1:24:21] Allison Dodge: Literally never got better.

[1:24:23] Conor Burke: Not according to me.

[1:24:25] Andrew: Okay, one final song.

[1:24:27] Allison Dodge: I'm so fucking scared.

[1:24:29] Andrew: Here we go.

[1:24:31] Conor Burke: Are you still scared?

[1:24:33] Andrew: Or are you not scared anymore?

[1:24:35] Allison Dodge: I don't know what to say.

[1:24:37] Conor Burke: Emily's a roll.

[1:24:39] Allison Dodge: Emily's listening.

[1:24:41] Conor Burke: Don't do it.

[1:24:43] Allison Dodge: Let them have their own opinions about this song.

[1:24:45] Conor Burke: Let them eat cake.

[1:24:47] Andrew: We know what the hell this is.

[1:24:49] Allison Dodge: Okay, this is Hey Jude.

[1:24:51] Conor Burke: It is Hey Jude.

[1:24:53] Allison Dodge: Don't make it bad.

[1:24:55] Conor Burke: Make it sad.

[1:24:57] Allison Dodge: Take a sad song.

[1:24:59] Conor Burke: Was she beat against the head?

[1:25:01] Allison Dodge: Was she bludgeoned to death?

[1:25:03] Conor Burke: Do you not remember?

[1:25:05] Allison Dodge: No, she was carried.

[1:25:07] Conor Burke: Then you can start to make it better.

[1:25:09] Allison Dodge: Hey Jude.

[1:25:11] Conor Burke: Don't be afraid.

[1:25:13] Allison Dodge: You were made to go out and get her.

[1:25:15] Conor Burke: The minute you let her under your skin.

[1:25:17] Allison Dodge: Then you begin to make it better.

[1:25:19] Conor Burke: So let it out and let it in. Hey Jude.

[1:25:21] Allison Dodge: Begin.

[1:25:23] Conor Burke: You're waiting for someone to perform with.

[1:25:25] Allison Dodge: And don't you know that it's just you. Hey Jude.

[1:25:27] Conor Burke: You do the movement you need is on your shoulder.

[1:25:29] Allison Dodge: Hey Jude.

[1:25:31] Conor Burke: Don't make it bad.

[1:25:33] Allison Dodge: Take a sad song and make it better.

[1:25:35] Conor Burke: Remember to let her under your skin.

[1:25:37] Allison Dodge: Then you'll begin to make it better, better, better, better, better, better.

[1:25:41] Conor Burke: Hey Jude.

[1:25:43] Allison Dodge: Don't make it bad.

[1:25:45] Conor Burke: Take a sad song and make it better.

[1:25:47] Allison Dodge: Hey Jude.

[1:25:49] Conor Burke: Hey Jude.

[1:25:51] Allison Dodge: I'm Tina Cohen Chang and I accept your crown.

[1:25:53] Conor Burke: Love, let it ring.

[1:25:55] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:25:57] Conor Burke: Hey Jude.

[1:25:59] Allison Dodge: No, you guys are kidding.

[1:26:01] Conor Burke: Do you guys not like that?

[1:26:03] Allison Dodge: No, I loved that. Okay, because Conor started it with I just needed, I just went through a whole journey in my head.

[1:26:09] Allison Dodge: I had to do some mental gymnastics and I'm like Simone Biles on the sidelines like waiting for my score after that mental gymnastics that I just did.

[1:26:15] Conor Burke: Explain.

[1:26:17] Allison Dodge: Because I was like forgive me Gleeks, I don't watch every single episode of Glee every single goddamn day so I don't know the order of events, okay?

[1:26:23] Allison Dodge: I've been watching a lot of other television, I've been watching a lot of Lost, a lot of Vanderpump Rules, a lot of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and the Menendez Brothers, okay?

[1:26:31] Allison Dodge: Forgive me when I don't remember that these Biles episodes are the first two episodes of season five and we have the quarterback.

[1:26:37] Allison Dodge: Then in my head I'm like is this one of the last times we ever see Ryder? Is this one of the last times we ever see Unique?

[1:26:43] Allison Dodge: So I had to Google season five episode list.

[1:26:46] Conor Burke: No, no, no, no, I'm completely wrong.

[1:26:48] Allison Dodge: But in my head I was like getting emotional because I was like is this really the last time we see Ryder?

[1:26:53] Conor Burke: No, it's not.

[1:26:55] Conor Burke: No, it's not, babe.

[1:26:57] Conor Burke: Frenemies has yet to come.

[1:26:59] Allison Dodge: The best is yet to come.

[1:27:01] Allison Dodge: So I had to go on a journey.

[1:27:03] Conor Burke: But I'm back now.

[1:27:05] Allison Dodge: You're back. You understand the context of Hey Jude.

[1:27:07] Conor Burke: I understand the context of Hey Jude.

[1:27:09] Conor Burke: It doesn't take away from the emotional experience that I had.

[1:27:11] Allison Dodge: So I will say I had a lot more emotion watching this than I did I say a little prayer for you.

[1:27:15] Conor Burke: I would agree.

[1:27:17] Conor Burke: I had more emotion.

[1:27:19] Conor Burke: I remember watching this live and funnily enough the two not even the quarterback made me cry when I watched it live.

[1:27:25] Conor Burke: But this episode, this performance specifically and Take My Breath Away are like the two songs that made me cry watching it.

[1:27:31] Allison Dodge: Those two songs obviously common prom like prom queen announced.

[1:27:35] Conor Burke: Well, it wasn't Rachel winning prom queen that made me emotional.

[1:27:39] Conor Burke: It was Quinn standing, which I don't in retrospect, it was like, hey, after three episodes, she's standing again.

[1:27:45] Conor Burke: Why am I crying?

[1:27:47] Allison Dodge: But like and then also like Tina accepting the crown just made me fucking cry.

[1:27:51] Allison Dodge: I really beautiful to me.

[1:27:53] Conor Burke: I really do like it.

[1:27:55] Conor Burke: Yeah, I can see why you'd be emotionally affected by Tina winning the crown like Tina is really truly the represent the character that's probably most representative of the audience like she is actually overlooked.

[1:28:03] Conor Burke: She is actually the fucking loser in this situation in the context of the show, you know, even if by this point her character has been so bastardized beyond belief like she still is representative of like what many people who are watching the show of school age were like, do you know what I'm saying?

[1:28:15] Allison Dodge: That's what I'm saying. I think that this I mean, this episode came out my senior year of high school.

[1:28:19] Allison Dodge: And so it was very still representative of what I was experiencing at the time as well.

[1:28:23] Conor Burke: I always go back to carry that your prom.

[1:28:25] Allison Dodge: Yeah, I did.

[1:28:27] Allison Dodge: Um, I wish that Glee had been a high school forever show.

[1:28:31] Allison Dodge: I don't really know how they could have done it. But I

[1:31:58] Conor Burke: I loved Glee when it was relevant to my life. I think that when I graduated high school, it was no longer relevant. I can't relate to being a star on Broadway. I can't relate to being an internet vogue. I can't relate to any of it.

[1:32:17] Allison Dodge: No, that's a really good point, though. Yeah. This is kind of the end, like the prom episodes are kind of the end of that. That's a good point.

[1:32:30] Conor Burke: Yeah, that's a great point. But I think there could have been a way that they could have made it relatable, like moving them to New York in a relatable way could have been achievable.

[1:32:41] Allison Dodge: There's the dog. Dog reveal. Dog reveal. Werewolves of London.

[1:32:45] Conor Burke: Yeah. But yeah, this one is interesting to me. Darren Criss's vocal choice, although he eats it up, I am going to say something that I think is really mean. Darren Criss really strikes me as one of those persons that, one of those persons, one of those people that when you move to college and you're doing anything vague, you're studying anything vaguely within the arts and you are at some college party and everyone's drinking, he very much strikes me as a person that's very much like one of those guys that you meet at one of those parties that's like, I don't write poetry. Poetry writes me. Darren has always given that to me.

[1:33:26] Allison Dodge: And within the context of this vocal performance, I'm like, I know he's been told to ad-lib, to go get in the booth, but it's too much almost. I don't know. I can't describe it.

[1:33:36] Conor Burke: I disagree. I love him. I don't know. It's stupid, especially when he's walking with Tina. It sounds amazing.

[1:33:51] Allison Dodge: Yes, it sounds amazing. And I streamed this song, but it's just like, Darren just does strike me as a, I don't write poetry, poetry writes me kind of person. And I love him for it, but like, you know, I will say that.

[1:34:08] Conor Burke: Tina's dress.

[1:34:11] Allison Dodge: Which dress?

[1:34:11] Conor Burke: The kiddie dress.

[1:34:11] Allison Dodge: The kiddie dress. Yeah. Yeah. Tina kiddie dress. Really cute, I think.

[1:34:16] Conor Burke: The pink? I think. And I think it looks better on Tina than it does on kiddie. I think it's gorgeous coloring for Tina.

[1:34:23] Allison Dodge: God, I don't want to be fucking mean. Don't do it.

[1:34:27] Conor Burke: Do you want me to? That is the fuggliest dress. Let me have another look at it.

[1:34:33] Allison Dodge: It's the fuggliest skirt I've ever seen. Mean girls.

[1:34:36] Conor Burke: It takes me out how ugly this dress is every time I see this episode. Let me have a look at it. I'm going to have another look. Please.

[1:34:43] Allison Dodge: It's very much costume closet.

[1:34:49] Conor Burke: I think it's cute. In the episode, Tina gets carried and then like Marley and Kitty both offer their dresses and then Unique is like, you could have mine too, but I don't want to. It would be it would be a shame to, you know, what does she say? It's like a stupid unique line where she was like, I don't want to give up this dress. I'm like, go with fucking Marley's dress. It was Kitty's dress is so ugly. I hate it. I'm sorry.

[1:35:16] Allison Dodge: Yeah.

[1:35:19] Conor Burke: I'm not a massive fan of Marley's dress either. I'm just I'm zooming in.

[1:35:23] Allison Dodge: Can't remember Marley's dress now. Exactly.

[1:35:26] Conor Burke: Is it blue? Yeah, I think it's blue.

[1:35:32] Allison Dodge: Is it a blue dress kind of girl? Is it blue or is it golden white?

[1:35:40] Conor Burke: Is there a shot of all of them? Let's see.

[1:35:50] Allison Dodge: Oh here we go.

[1:35:52] Conor Burke: Um, share screen.

[1:35:57] Allison Dodge: Oh yeah, no. No, I think Tina's dress is nicer.

[1:36:01] Conor Burke: Are you insane?

[1:36:01] Allison Dodge: Tina's dress is better than Marley's.

[1:36:06] Conor Burke: Marley's? I like it.

[1:36:06] Allison Dodge: No, that looks like denim. Why is she wearing a denim dress to prom?

[1:36:12] Conor Burke: I don't really think that Tina's is really that bad at all.

[1:36:16] Allison Dodge: Okay, when you're saying Tina's, you mean kitties.

[1:36:18] Conor Burke: Kitties, I mean kitties. Okay.

[1:36:21] Allison Dodge: But it's funny, I don't like it on Kitty though.

[1:36:24] Conor Burke: No, it looks better on Tina.

[1:36:27] Allison Dodge: Which in the context of Glee, the TV show, it was obviously chosen for Jenna.

[1:36:33] Conor Burke: I feel insane. I feel like you guys are gaslighting me right now.

[1:36:36] Allison Dodge: No, I'm not gaslighting you.

[1:36:38] Conor Burke: That remains to be the ugliest dress.

[1:36:39] Allison Dodge: Can we make an extra poll?

[1:36:43] Conor Burke: Is this dress ugly or not?

[1:36:45] Allison Dodge: No, the poll should be which dress do you prefer, Marley or Kitty's slash Tina's?

[1:36:51] Conor Burke: You're telling me that you prefer Marley's dress?

[1:36:53] Allison Dodge: Uh, yeah, and it kind of looks like one of the competition dresses, if I'm gonna be honest.

[1:36:56] Conor Burke: Which kind of like works for the character.

[1:36:59] Allison Dodge: That like Marley would be like, let's upcycle. Let's upcycle this.

[1:37:03] Conor Burke: They both look like competition dresses, I will say that.

[1:37:06] Allison Dodge: Okay, they would have lost if they wore the Kitty dress.

[1:37:08] Conor Burke: Stop!

[1:37:09] Allison Dodge: Immediately. I'm sorry, I'm being so negative about this dress.

[1:37:12] Conor Burke: Okay.

[1:37:14] Allison Dodge: Anyway, um, oh, okay, two notes that I have here. I remember in high school, I played this song in the car with my friend. And they said, I can't listen to that song because of personal reasons.

[1:37:25] Conor Burke: It's like a Netflix true crime documentary.

[1:37:36] Allison Dodge: I didn't ask any questions. I was like, oh my gosh, yeah, we'll listen to something else. I cannot listen to Hey Jude without thinking of my friend.

[1:37:45] Conor Burke: Are you still friends with this person?

[1:37:47] Allison Dodge: I am, like, very interested.

[1:37:48] Conor Burke: You need to find out. You need to find out.

[1:37:51] Allison Dodge: No, because then I'm like opening up a wound.

[1:37:52] Conor Burke: The reason that I didn't ask was because I don't want to open up a wound.

[1:37:55] Allison Dodge: We're going to the mall.

[1:37:57] Conor Burke: We were driving to the mall, and I put on Hey Jude, probably Gleecast versus Mike Gleecast. And she was like, no, I can't listen to Hey Jude because of personal reasons.

[1:38:06] Allison Dodge: Maybe she knows a Jude.

[1:38:07] Conor Burke: That's such a good. I am keeping that in mind for future references.

[1:38:11] Allison Dodge: I don't really want to listen. I can't listen to that song because of personal reasons. Somebody puts on the Joe Rogan podcast, I can't listen to that for personal reasons.

[1:38:23] Conor Burke: And then I remember when they announced on the Glee Wiki that they would be singing Hey Jude, someone coined the term because there's four vocalists on this song, Blaine, Sam, Tina and Kitty, otherwise known as Blam Titty. And so, hence, Blam Titty was born and subsequently ended in this performance.

[1:38:50] Allison Dodge: But then I was thinking, I was like, wait, why didn't they go with Titty Blam? I feel like Titty Blam is kind of better.

[1:38:55] Conor Burke: This is where we are at in the conversation.

[1:38:59] Allison Dodge: What I will say is we're getting a lot of titties in this episode. Blam Titty, Titty Blam, Emma's titties.

[1:39:05] Conor Burke: You invite me on the podcast, you're going to get titties, OK?

[1:39:07] Allison Dodge: We're titties.

[1:39:09] Conor Burke: You've been topless this entire time.

[1:39:11] Allison Dodge: Yeah, I've been just shaking them around, nobody's been talking about it.

[1:39:14] Conor Burke: All three of us have been topless the entire time.

[1:39:18] Allison Dodge: Wait, so just to gauge the room, are we more Blam Titty or Titty Blam?

[1:39:24] Conor Burke: Titty Blam.

[1:39:26] Allison Dodge: Titty Blam.

[1:39:27] Conor Burke: I think that's more exciting, yeah.

[1:39:29] Allison Dodge: It rolls off the tongue more, which is what you need.

[1:39:32] Conor Burke: I say a little prayer or Hey Jude.

[1:39:34] Allison Dodge: Bringing it back to the point of the matter, exactly.

[1:39:39] Conor Burke: I'm going to say Hey Jude.

[1:39:39] Allison Dodge: You're so good at wrapping it up.

[1:39:41] Conor Burke: I'm going to vote for I say a little prayer.

[1:39:43] Allison Dodge: Connor, you're in the hot seat once more. Who are you going to go with this time?

[1:39:46] Conor Burke: I am going to vote for I say a little prayer.

[1:39:52] Allison Dodge: What was that?

[1:39:53] Conor Burke: It was called a vocal choice, got on board.

[1:39:58] Allison Dodge: So I'm sorry, Alison, the two competitions that we disagreed on.

[1:40:01] Conor Burke: Wait, Alison, wait, what were you going to vote for?

[1:40:04] Allison Dodge: She already voted.

[1:40:05] Conor Burke: I voted Hey Jude.

[1:40:06] Allison Dodge: Oh, OK, sorry.

[1:40:07] Conor Burke: I must have just blacked out.

[1:40:10] Allison Dodge: I couldn't listen to your vote for personal reasons.

[1:40:13] Conor Burke: I can't listen to her voice for personal reasons.

[1:40:18] Allison Dodge: OK, so to wrap up this episode, my life is over. My life is going to hell.

[1:40:26] Conor Burke: Ice, ice.

[1:40:28] Allison Dodge: Oh, yeah.

[1:40:28] Conor Burke: Ice, ice, baby.

[1:40:30] Allison Dodge: Ice, ice, baby, baby.

[1:40:32] Conor Burke: You're being born into round three.

[1:40:34] Allison Dodge: I don't know.

[1:40:35] Conor Burke: Um, do you have a better one?

[1:40:37] Allison Dodge: We'll workshop that one.

[1:40:38] Conor Burke: We'll.

[1:40:38] Allison Dodge: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:40:39] Conor Burke: Ice, ice, baby.

[1:40:40] Allison Dodge: Nice, nice, baby.

[1:40:42] Conor Burke: We're seeing you in the next round.

[1:40:44] Allison Dodge: Exactly.

[1:40:45] Conor Burke: We have to workshop these in the moment.

[1:40:46] Allison Dodge: We're never going to circle back.

[1:40:48] Conor Burke: We're never going to circle back.

[1:40:49] Allison Dodge: That circle is a straight line.

[1:40:52] Conor Burke: Um, OK, born this way. This is fucked up.

[1:40:57] Allison Dodge: You are being delivered into hell because you.

[1:41:01] Conor Burke: We aborted you.

[1:41:02] Allison Dodge: Oh, no.

[1:41:05] Conor Burke: Um, but.

[1:41:06] Allison Dodge: We did a nine month abortion.

[1:41:08] Conor Burke: Double homicide.

[1:41:09] Allison Dodge: We gave full birth to you and now you're dead.

[1:41:12] Conor Burke: Double homicide.

[1:41:15] Allison Dodge: Um, we are. I'm so distracted. Does anybody have one for we are young?

[1:41:21] Conor Burke: We are young.

[1:41:22] Allison Dodge: We are young.

[1:41:27] Conor Burke: Say it again.

[1:41:31] Allison Dodge: We are young.

[1:41:32] Conor Burke: Wait, wait.

[1:41:33] Allison Dodge: That's like a red robin.

[1:41:36] Conor Burke: Yum.

[1:41:39] Allison Dodge: Yum.

[1:41:39] Conor Burke: We'll see you in round three.

[1:41:41] Allison Dodge: Right.

[1:41:41] Conor Burke: Um, I say a little prayer and prayers were answered by that little prayer because you're going to round three.

[1:41:46] Allison Dodge: Hey, Jude, I got some bad news for you.

[1:41:50] Conor Burke: You're going to hell.

[1:41:51] Allison Dodge: We can't listen to you for personal reasons.

[1:41:53] Conor Burke: We aborted you.

[1:42:01] Allison Dodge: Telling a song that they've been aborted.

[1:42:08] Conor Burke: OK.

[1:42:09] Allison Dodge: That's all I got. Gorgeous, beautiful, beautiful girls. Jesus Christ.

[1:42:15] Conor Burke: OK, so this is the point where I ask if you have anything to plug. Allison, do you have anything to plug?

[1:42:21] Allison Dodge: No. Listen to Glee Glee Week podcasts. Subscribe to the Patreon where you can find a lot more me. Stop fucking around and subscribe to Patreon, guys. We're almost done season two of the Glee Project. So if you if you become a patron, you have a lot of backlog available. You've got a lot of content.

[1:42:41] Conor Burke: Oh, but you're on episode nine, are you?

[1:42:45] Allison Dodge: We're done. No, we have the finale next month. And then and then we have to go do the the casting special and then we're done.

[1:42:55] Conor Burke: Fun time.

[1:42:57] Allison Dodge: Wait, you didn't do that already?

[1:42:59] Conor Burke: We didn't do that. No, because that's the way we did season one. Remember we watched?

[1:43:03] Allison Dodge: Oh yeah.

[1:43:04] Conor Burke: Oh, we started with the first episode and then ended with episode zero.

[1:43:09] Allison Dodge: Oh, for some reason, I feel like I remember watching an episode where it's like Nellie and Danny Shea and they're like auditioning. And then and then we just simply didn't recap it.

[1:43:19] Conor Burke: Yeah, we were like, yeah, fuck that. That was a waste of my fucking time.

[1:43:23] Allison Dodge: Connor, do you have anything that you want to plug?

[1:43:29] Conor Burke: Do I have anything that I want to plug? No. But as Miss Alison Dodge said, listen to Gleek of the Week podcast, subscribe to Patreon and come have fun with all of us who are trying to climb. Let's just start. I do want to listen to the podcast that you've already been listening to for an hour and 45 minutes. Are you still listening?

[1:43:47] Allison Dodge: I do want to give an update. Charlotte was nowhere to be seen at my play.

[1:43:53] Conor Burke: Charlotte, it's OK. I feel like genuinely I feel like we scared her into oblivion.

[1:43:57] Allison Dodge: I fear that she didn't get to the part of the episode where you harassed her into attending your play.

[1:44:02] Conor Burke: That's probably what happened. I've learned that in the future when I'm going to do that, it will be right at the top.

[1:44:09] Allison Dodge: Right. If you want to harass someone. Hi Andrew, so lovely to see you. By the way, Charlotte, come to the play.

[1:44:15] Conor Burke: Come to the play. We have some business. Housecleaning items. We have some serious things to talk about.

[1:44:22] Allison Dodge: Um, so yeah, thank you so much. That was so much fun. And also the reason, like, I mean, I don't even know if it's even worth even saying, but like you two have glacketed the most. And that's why I was just like, oh, let's have this fun pairing.

[1:44:39] Conor Burke: Oh, have we?

[1:44:40] Allison Dodge: Well, that makes sense. I never thought about that, but that would. Oh, I did not know that.

[1:44:45] Conor Burke: So you two know how to glacket.

[1:44:48] Allison Dodge: We know how to glacket.

[1:44:49] Conor Burke: We know how to get down and dirty with it. You know what I mean?

[1:44:51] Allison Dodge: Thank you.

[1:44:53] Conor Burke: Okay. This is the end of my shift. So, um, thank you so much. I gotta clock out.

[1:44:55] Allison Dodge: I gotta clock out now.

[1:45:00] Conor Burke: Okay.

[1:45:00] Allison Dodge: End my project.

[1:45:02] Conor Burke: Goodbye.

[1:45:03] Allison Dodge: It's Gleek.

[1:45:04] Conor Burke: Gleek of the Week.
