[2:46] Whitney: I think we can I forgot. I'm putting a note in my phone right now to do the vacation request.

[2:54] Allison: Okay.

[3:04] Whitney: I will be in New York.

[3:06] Allison: At the very okay, I I feel like we're we're saying a lot, but nothing at all.

[3:10] Whitney: Exactly. Um, so what we want to do is um hi, I'm Andrew. I've already reached out to Jeffrey the DJ, who is the um creator of the iconic and very successful Glee nights that I've been having across the country.

[3:25] Allison: And I was like, hey Jeffrey, um, we should do a glee night that is like enhanced.

[3:31] Whitney: Enhanced.

[3:31] Allison: Gleek of the week night. Gleek the week night. Gleek the week presents Glee Knight.

[3:36] Whitney: Um, and I don't know, we have some fun ideas. Um costume contests, maybe slushies. Don't write any of this in stone.

[3:48] Allison: But um, we have reached out to a number of different um locations, and I feel confident saying that if that doesn't happen, if that doesn't happen on August 26th, that's a Saturday, then you and I we'll just do like a little meetup in Central Park.

[4:04] Whitney: Exactly.

[4:05] Allison: We'll do something. If the Yeah, we'll do something. But I just wanted to give Gleeks enough time to hear vacation requests, yeah.

[4:13] Whitney: Yeah.

[4:17] Allison: While we're in the planning stage. So um August 26th.

[4:22] Whitney: So fun.

[4:23] Allison: August 26th, it's gonna be um Glee Knight if you're not familiar. They have the the performances on the screen. Um, Jeffrey the DJ playing all of the songs. Everyone's just gleaking, living, loving, laughing, beautiful, and having a great time.

[4:34] Whitney: And you know, who the heck knows? Maybe some glee cast members who we don't know anything about anything.

[4:40] Allison: We don't know anything right now.

[4:45] Whitney: It's literally what, April 10th?

[4:47] Allison: April 10th. I don't know anything.

[4:49] Whitney: I don't know anything.

[4:51] Allison: So, but I know one thing. We're going to try our damnedest to make this event the best that it can be.

[4:56] Whitney: Big pop it for you.

[4:58] Allison: Oh, Ed, did you did you all hear that? Did you all hear that? Andrew just did a little best for you.

[5:05] Whitney: Beautiful girls. I love it.

[5:08] Allison: Um, yeah. Okay. So posted on Instagram story. Hey, what the hell do you want us to talk about? And can I just say, y'all continuously hilarious?

[5:23] Whitney: I think each and every last one of you should host your own personal vlogcast.

[5:23] Allison: Um one said, I don't care. Oh, I asked for uh conversation topics that we should talk at talk about in tonight's recording, and someone said, I don't care as long as it's not Glee again, please.

[5:43] Whitney: I can't take it anymore.

[5:47] Allison: Me neither. I just can't. What if we did that? Where we just like talked about everything else, pulled the six songs, didn't respond.

[5:47] Whitney: Yeah.

[5:58] Allison: And we were like and then we're like one. First song.

[5:58] Whitney: Yeah.

[6:06] Allison: I'm not even gonna say the name of the song. The first one. I'm not even gonna say it. We can't talk about it.

[6:06] Whitney: No.

[6:11] Allison: Um, but a lot of people want us to talk about Taylor Swift breakup. Do you have any opinions on this?

[6:18] Whitney: I was literally about to say the Taylor Swift breakup. I am heartbroken.

[6:25] Allison: Because let me explain it to you as a non-Swifty, from a Swifty to a non-Swifty. Um, the two genders. Um I think that it's hard because I've grown up with this woman's music.

[6:40] Whitney: This woman's music has been heavily involved in my life. I've been listening to her since sixth, seventh grade, like very formative years in my life, and I've listened to her express her feelings over heartbreak over and over and over and over again from all these different relationships that she's that she's been in.

[7:00] Allison: And then she enters this relationship with Joe Alwyn, and they have been dating for six years, and she writes some of the most beautiful love songs about this man.

[7:13] Whitney: I I did love a folklore. I loved that. Invisible string? Oh my god. Peace. I feel like people don't talk about peace.

[7:18] Allison: People don't talk about peace.

[7:21] Whitney: I really love that. People do not talk about peace enough. I think the entire lover album is absolutely gorgeous. Cornelius Street, Lover, like uh slay. Like, not even in the way that sleigh is used now, but like literally kill me, you know?

[7:22] Allison: Okay.

[7:40] Whitney: Like shove a a sword from medieval times into my throat. Death death by I think.

[7:48] Allison: Never been used before.

[7:49] Whitney: Um so she wrote all this beautiful music, and then this relation, we're finally seeing her happy, we're finally seeing her in what is publicly a very positive and healthy relationship, and then um it's over.

[8:12] Allison: And we think we're led to believe that she's emotional about it because of how she's been on stage, and so me as somebody who's grown up with this woman, I'm very like parasocial relationship with her, like very much her happiness is important to me, and I think she's a very just good person, and I want good things to happen to good people, and I don't know the whole context of the breakup.

[8:42] Whitney: I oh I don't think we'll ever know all the details.

[8:44] Allison: I don't even think we know if it's a lot of people. Wasn't there a statement released that they were like they want to remain friends?

[8:49] Whitney: Yeah, there's been a bunch of different like it wasn't. Like, oh, they grew apart, and oh, but she was just in London during her concert break. Um, there's a bunch of different things. I won't believe anything unless it's from Taylor Joe's mouth, but I doubt that we'll get that unless Taylor says something in Tampa this weekend, but um yeah, absolutely.

[9:12] Allison: I have a question.

[9:12] Whitney: Yes.

[9:13] Allison: How does this relate to Glee though?

[9:16] Whitney: So I think I think this is why Glee is still important to us in 2023, because we watched it in 2009 and it was in our formative years, and even though it's over, these people and these characters are still very important to us.

[9:34] Allison: So when we're saying that Taylor Swift is over.

[9:37] Whitney: No, no, no. Too long, don't read. No, she she's continuing. She's continuing, and as has the lives of like Leah Michelle, Jenna uh Kenna Uskowitz.

[9:49] Allison: Kenna Uskowitz, yeah.

[9:52] Whitney: Kevin and Jenna, like they their lives have moved, like have grown, and we've but we're still following them because they have been so embedded in our lives for so long.

[10:04] Allison: And so it's it's hard. Like if Jenna Ushkowitz posted on her Instagram story, oh I'm sad today, like I might feel some type of way about it, you know.

[10:15] Whitney: I don't follow her on Instagram.

[10:18] Allison: I was like, Yeah. Do you even follow Jenna Ushkowitz?

[10:21] Whitney: One. And also, no, I don't know if you would. But you know, like Jenna Ushkowitz, I'm sorry. Jenna Ushkowitz, I'm sorry, if you post the Instagram like, I'm sad. I'm gonna be like, Would you know why if you feel a type of way?

[10:21] Allison: What?

[10:38] Whitney: I'd be like, oh, why is she sad? That's that's true, instead of like a random girl from like pretty little liars.

[10:44] Allison: Exactly. Like if fucking the girl who played Allison on Pretty Little Liars posted, I'm sad. I'd be like, I don't care, you don't matter to me. Tell me how Jenna Oshkowitz is doing today.

[10:57] Whitney: She mattered to me in a very like, and she continues to matter to me. I talk about her stupid show every goddamn week with my best friend. So that's how Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn breaking up is related to Glee.

[11:11] Allison: Okay. Um there have like been some specific questions for you.

[11:19] Whitney: Me specifically.

[11:19] Allison: Yes.

[11:19] Whitney: Okay.

[11:21] Allison: Um previous Gleak the Week, uh, Leah wants to know. I still want to know how one becomes a bird trainer.

[11:28] Whitney: Oh, gotcha, got you. Um that's a good question. So I originally went to college for art, as you did.

[11:40] Allison: I went to an art college.

[11:41] Whitney: Um, I wanted to go to SVA with Andrew, but SVA said, We're not gonna give you any money.

[11:48] Allison: You're at a pitch.

[11:49] Whitney: I don't know what you're saying. Basically, they said, get fucked. We're we want all your money. And I was like, basically, they did say that.

[11:55] Allison: They did say that.

[11:59] Whitney: And I was like, oh, cool, I can't do that. So, but you know who did say we got you some money? Columbia College Chicago was like, here's some money, Allison.

[12:09] Allison: Big kiss.

[12:10] Whitney: Big kiss. And so I was like, okay, Columbia College, like I see you. Um Audio Medium just twirling her hair at Columbia College. I'm like batting my eyelashes as well.

[12:22] Allison: Um so I went there for school, and I thought I was going to do advertising art direction. And which is basically the art side of advertising, like creating campaigns and such graphic design-ish stuff.

[12:40] Whitney: You were so good. I remember like just doing pre-college with you, and you did what uh what was the the tea brand that you made an ad for?

[12:50] Allison: Honesty, and I was like, oh my god, this is so good.

[12:54] Whitney: I'll put that in the carousel.

[12:56] Allison: The Honesty?

[12:57] Whitney: The Honesty ad.

[12:58] Allison: Yeah. I'll put that in the carousel. I still have it, absolutely. I love it.

[13:02] Whitney: And then you also made the um Titanic Oscar.

[13:02] Allison: Yes.

[13:07] Whitney: Right. The third week of our pre-college program, we were all given an Oscar and then an Oscar Award-winning film. And um you had to create uh or like decorate the Oscar in accordance to the film.

[13:21] Allison: So what I did is I took the Oscar and I put a patina on it, which is like making it look like it's rusted, and then I put it in sand and I wrapped, so it made it look like it was at the bottom of the ocean for a long time, put it in sand, and then wrapped uh the heart of the ocean necklace around it.

[13:39] Whitney: I thought the old lady dropped in the ocean at the end.

[13:41] Allison: Uh yeah, well, I went down there and I picked that up.

[13:43] Whitney: What's the next line of that song?

[13:46] Allison: Well, baby, I went down and got it.

[13:49] Whitney: Oh, you shouldn't have.

[13:51] Allison: Oops, I did it a um, so yeah. I went to Columbia College, Chicago for my freshman year of college, and I was all gung-ho about advertising. I was very, frankly, I was very good at graphic design. I knew my way around those Adobe Systems, baby.

[14:11] Whitney: Well, flexi flex. She's been around the Adobe Systems once or twice. That Adobe Suite, Mama. Um, and my second semester, I go and I take a tour of an advertising agency in Chicago. And I'm in there, and I'm like seeing, I'm like, okay, this is like kind of the place that I would be working if I continued with this career. Full blown panic attack. I was like, oh, I hate it. This is terrible. What am I creating art for? This feels sick and wrong. I'm making art to make another person money and exploit consumers. That doesn't feel good to me. Um, so I said, thank you, next. Um and at the same time, I was working a part-time job at the Shed Aquarium. I was doing guest services at the Shed Aquarium.

Beautiful aquarium, really gorgeous. How did you even like get connected with like doing guest services at an aquarium? I needed a part-time job going into second semester. I spent all my money first semester, and then I was like, oh, can't really get through this. I need to make money. And um I knew that I liked the ocean. I was very interested in marine biology as like a side hustle, you know, side interest. I had taken an oceanography class, and I was like, I love whales. And um, so I was like, fuck it, I can work in an aquarium. Um, and so I did that second semester, and when I was working there, I was like, oh, this is the kind of place I want to work for the rest of my life. Like, this is the best.

I want to be the dolphin trainer. I want to be the or the um the Lugo Whale trainer. So I say bye bye, Chicago. And I don't know if I've ever told you this. I was thinking about this the other day because I'm spoiler alert, I'm thinking of a career change. But um I full-time full-time gleek. I'm going full-time on Greek of the Week podcast. Um I've been thinking about this. One of the last things my favorite design teacher um told me, and he gave me, he ended up writing me recommendation letters later on in life. Um, I told him about what I was going, I was leaving Columbia, and I left on my last day. I left early for some reason. And he, because I had finished my final early or whatever. And he says to the entire class, he's like, there's a girl that could be the best designer of her time, and she's walking out the door to become a biologist.

And I was like, Wait, oh my god. Wait, that's like I don't know if that's like a compliment. I know. I don't want to, yeah, I didn't want to be the one to say that. I I felt good that he was like, she could be a great designer. And I was like, thank you. I do think I can. There she goes. But she's gonna be a fucking biologist. And I was like, it kind of sounds like he's like, you're squandering your talent. But um, maybe uh wait, was it did no? But he didn't like have a reputation of being a dick, though. No, he was a great teacher. I love I don't know what his name is. I can't remember anymore, but um You can't even remember. This was what this was 10 years ago now. That okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

So um, but he was a great teacher. Shout out. Don't know your name, but um uh so I transferred to I'm just giving you my whole resume. Um I transferred to University of Minnesota and I got my degree in biology. Um, and while I was at the University of Minnesota, I did several internships. Zookeeping is um a job where you need to do a lot of unpaid volunteer work. Um which means that it takes it it uh uh you need to be honestly be privileged enough to be able to work 40 hours a week unpaid. And which leads to not a very diverse that's a problem with zookeeping as a whole, is it's not a very diverse field. People are actively working to make it a very diverse field. That's so interesting, yeah.

Yeah. So um it required at the time a lot of unpaid work. I worked um unpaid hours all summer. There was a point in time where I was doing I had two part-time jobs, and then I was also doing 40 hours a week unpaid at the zoo. And I interned in the Marine Mammals, I interned with primates. I was like, oh my god. Because I interned with with marine mammals because I was like, I'm gonna be a dolphin trainer. Guess what? I can't fucking scuba dive. Hum let me get on my soapbox. Humans were not meant to breathe underwater. Scuba diving is against the law. Well, isn't like the thing with scuba diving, I I know one thing about scuba diving is that you can't get on a flight the day after scuba diving.

Yeah, there's like a whole like buoyancy shit and the bends. Anyways, don't fucking jump out of planes that are perfectly fine and don't go into the ocean where you're not supposed to, okay? Oh, that sounds like a beautiful song. I would stream whatever lyrics you just sang from. Oh my god, somebody auto-tune that and turned that into a song. Um but I didn't, I had a panic attack, another panic attack at the bottom of the ocean. And uh I said, Oh, I won't be scuba diving ever again. So marine mammals were out. You need to be able to scuba dive to be a dolphin trainer. So I worked with Primates next at my next internship, and I was like, oh, I love working with great apes. Great apes are so freaking awesome.

They are so cool. I want to do that. Well, in order to be a great ape trainer, you need like a bajillion years or a really good connection in order to get in that field. So after college, I was like, fuck. I like I need my first job. I need my first job in zookeeping. I will do anything to get my foot in the door. Yeah. I applied to anything and everything, and the first place that was like, hey, you want to come work for us, like a seasonal gig was this company down in Florida that does the bird shows at Animal Kingdom. So I moved, and this is a common theme in zookeeping. If anybody's thinking of getting into it, you probably will have to move to where the jobs are, um, which is another part of it that sucks.

Um so I lived in Orlando, Florida for a year and a half and at a bird training facility, and I didn't know anything about birds before I went down there. I didn't think I liked birds. Um, and then I quickly realized, oh no, wait, I love birds. Birds are so fucking cool. I want to work with them forever. And I love doing bird shows. Um I'm fun. That's where I I realize I really don't have a fear of public speaking, and I'm like, okay, well, I need to capitalize on that. Um, because it do you think uh in general, like, do you think that a lot of people like in your field have that fear? Yes. Oh, yeah, for sure. I think there's many zookeepers who are like, I'd rather talk to my animals than talk to actual human beings.

Right, right, right. And I'm I'm not the opposite. Like, I like I do talk to my birds, I do be talking to birds. Um but I like talking to people just as much, even more so. So the bird show is really where I honed my all of my skill set. And um, and then I was fortunate up enough to get a job at the Minnesota Zoo, and I have been working there ever since. Wow. Yeah. Go visit. Go visit. Come see a bird show. That'd be so fun. So silly, so fun. So silly so fun. Come meet my bird friends. They're the best. Well, wow. Uh bringing it back to Glee. Yeah, how does this all relate to Glee? How does this really who which Glee character would like a bird show the most? Blaine, because he's sexually attracted to the Pavarotti.

Would it would Blaine also be like a zookeeper? No. Who would be the zookeeper? Who's in the animal husbandry club that Gwyneth Peltro Oh, well, they're all like in there. They're all just like waiting for the gag of it all the time. Who is it? So I don't think anybody is. I think I think. Hmm. That's a really good question. I think Matt. Ooh, yeah. He'd be a really good zookeeper. Well, I'm just like, I don't know a ton about him. I'm I'm just thinking about like times. Okay, so like Kurt had Pavarotti, Sam had the dog, and Brittany had Lord and Lady Tubbington. Yes. I don't think Britney's gonna be. I think that Sam could be. Sam could be a zookeeper. He's a very like active job. Like you're always it's it's a labor, it's a labor job, labor trade.

So could be. I could see him doing that. Okay. Hmm. Wow. Anyways, that's how you become a bird trainer. On this glee podcast. On this glee podcast. Wow. They said, don't talk about glee, I swear to God. And we were like, okay. And we said, okay, bet. Bet. We won't. We were talking about bird training. Um okay. What song we already did it. Yeah, I'm uh oh, the boy is mine, yeah. For sure. That's coming. It's gonna be it's gonna, it's gonna be tonight. Yeah. It's gonna be tonight. Okay. Um, okay, we are joined by um Gleek, who has been gleaking every single week for uh so many damn weeks. Um, Whitney, how are you? Good. I'm so excited that you're finally here. I feel like a long time coming. I feel like I annoy you guys a lot in the DMs.

No, don't say that. Don't say that. Never never ever, never. Um Whitney, I have a question for you. Yes. [24:07] Now we are mostly like there's no real theme to this podcast. It's really just like go with the flow. And you know what? We were brainstorming questions to ask you at the beginning of this podcast. And our first question is you know that show Glee? Do you remember that? Um not really. I might have heard of it like once or twice. Yeah, it was a show on Fox. Started in two thousand nine, six seasons. It's kind of bad towards the end. Oh. Um why do people watch this? I don't torture? Yeah, um. Um and I was wondering what your relationship with it was. Out of curiosity. Yeah. I mean, I've this is like the first time I've heard of the show, so I don't know.

Um I'm a longtime viewer. I think I've watched since the middle of season one, and then I watched it live all throughout until season six. So I'm kinda I deserve a veterans discount for that. Yeah, I would say so. Stuck it through until the end. Don't know parking spots at like or something. Where were you on I guess like March 20th, 2015? Yeah. Inconsolable. Wait, so you watch it all the way through. Vibes? What were what were the vibes for you? Um I liked it. I really like Blaine, obviously. Okay. I have I wanted to show you this, Alison. I have a shirt. Oh, that shirt's so bad. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good. Audio meeting, how would you describe this, Whitney? It's like a vintage-ish design Blaine Anderson shirt.

But Andrew, not for you to feel left out. I have a reveal. I also have a Santana one. Oh, that's Oh my god. You contain layers. So the plan is I was gonna keep on the Blaine Anderson shirt um to manifest somewhere we go sometimes. And if wait a minute. I'm gonna stop you right there. No. Because we were looking at your submission form. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you said okay, wait, wait, wait. Bottom tier blow? No, okay. Okay, it's still bottom tier, but it's still good. Oh wait, so like how like how far from like what's the worst blow low? What uh honestly, I don't know. Off the top of my head. Um wait. I think I understand the. Name a bad bloodlow challenge. I'll wait. The one that everybody hates us.

Take a look at me now. Yeah, yeah. That's on my um, I think I don't know who was in the DMs, but I have a word document that I also want to read off to you guys. Okay. Titled League of the Week Competitions, everyone involved should be jailed for no exceptions. And that's definitely on the list that you guys should have got more hate DMs for that. More hate? We got enough. That's like so emotional fighter almost. It's worse than functionality. Like that's like that's like that's okay. Do you hate drama? Do you hate fun? Well, it's not really fun. You hate drama. I love I love fun. Yeah, exactly. I love the puppet of it all. Yeah. Okay, wait, wait, wait. Do you do you want to go through this document?

Uh it's a lot. Please. Okay, we're ready. I have it categorized by different tiers. Okay. So where should we start? There's a f there's a few of them. There's you guys got away with this too easy. Deserve the hate DMs. I don't agree, but I'm not too hurt by it. And then the last one is I understand the decision at the end of the day, but you still deserve a jail sentence for pulling these songs together. Okay. Start from like least to worst for you. Okay. Yeah. So I guess it would be the I understand the decision at the end of the day. Yeah. So because like I would have went with the decision, but still, these other songs deserved a chance. Oh, this is so funny to me. Okay. Um, the first one is push it versus true colors.

Push it is camp. Yes. And it deserved a better chance. So that was a bad thing. You understand? I understand. I would have also chose true colors. Yes. Okay. The bones, right? Jolene versus Spotlight.

[28:17] Whitney: I really love that B solo, and I don't know why. But it was an unfortunate mashup.

[28:23] Allison: Yeah, yeah, I get it.

[28:24] Whitney: I would have also chose Spotlight.

[28:26] Allison: Yeah.

[28:27] Whitney: Um, not the boy next door versus Bad Romance. I just wish better for Not the Boy Next Door because it's one of my favorite Kurt Solos.

[28:35] Allison: Yeah.

[28:36] Whitney: But I also chose Bad Romance. I have not gotten out of my anti-colo.

[28:41] Allison: Yeah.

[28:43] Whitney: Anti-colo as an audition for something soapbox in a while.

[28:48] Allison: No! Not the boy next door. You cannot put not the boy next door in the same category as like I'm the greatest thought.

[28:53] Whitney: Yeah, no. Same vibe.

[28:54] Allison: No.

[28:55] Whitney: I get a mixed up.

[28:56] Allison: No, but it's a good thing.

[28:57] Whitney: No, not the boy next door actually is a sleigh. It really is. It was really the Santana part of bad romance that really came through.

[29:06] Allison: If it wasn't for that part, I would have chosen Not the Boy Next Door.

[29:08] Whitney: But Santana was wailing on that.

[29:12] Allison: So emotional versus Spider. Unfortunately, I also would have gone with Fighter.

[29:16] Whitney: Guess what? They're both in the second round.

[29:18] Allison: I know.

[29:20] Whitney: We could have that competition again.

[29:21] Allison: That's a good one.

[29:22] Whitney: But I had to I had to tell Allison I'm on her side.

[29:25] Allison: Thank you.

[29:26] Whitney: Thank you.

[29:27] Allison: Thank you.

[29:29] Whitney: God, nobody says that enough.

[29:30] Allison: I know. Like a prayer versus paradise by the dashboard light.

[29:34] Whitney: That one broke me.

[29:36] Allison: The Glods really played a sick game.

[29:39] Whitney: That was bad.

[29:39] Allison: That was horrible. You guys should have rigged it and just like changed it.

[29:43] Whitney: I really wanted to throw up.

[29:45] Allison: Wait, speaking of, speaking of like wanting to throw up, you listened to the previous episode, Adam's episode. What how did you feel about the um I feel pretty on pretty faithfully competition?

[29:56] Whitney: I literally had to pause it at work. So I was at work listening to the uh Patreon and I had to pause it and I couldn't finish it until after work. Because I did not know where it was gonna go and I could not see either of those songs go away. But I'm happy with the result.

[30:10] Allison: Okay, good.

[30:10] Whitney: Okay, good.

[30:11] Allison: Yeah.

[30:11] Whitney: I support rigging it toward the good songs.

[30:14] Allison: Thank you.

[30:14] Whitney: You're welcome. It's not rigging. We had we had one song to bring back. It's gonna be that.

[30:18] Allison: Yeah.

[30:19] Whitney: Yeah.

[30:20] Allison: Um and then you guys don't appreciate Elliot Star Child enough.

[30:25] Whitney: And I'm here to talk about it.

[30:27] Allison: Uh-huh.

[30:28] Whitney: This is also one of the ones that I would have went with a different with your guys' choice.

[30:34] Allison: So I also wouldn't have chosen this Elliott song, but I'm gonna bring it up anyways.

[30:38] Whitney: Valerie versus I believe in a thing called Love.

[30:41] Allison: I don't remember what you guys said about it, but it was probably not good.

[30:44] Whitney: I believe in a thing!

[30:45] Allison: I like I believe it's the hardest song to sing ever.

[30:49] Whitney: It is it's a really hard song to sing, as it turns out. Um, but I love I believe in a thing called love. But I think the unfortunate matchup.

[30:57] Allison: Yeah.

[30:57] Whitney: Yeah. We're still in that.

[30:58] Allison: I understand.

[31:01] Whitney: We had a I mean there's a I'm skipping some. There's a lot in here. I don't know if you I'll have to like send you guys this. There's a lot.

[31:06] Allison: Um the other one is constant craving versus God to get you into my life.

[31:10] Whitney: Top tier play but constant craving is just so good.

[31:14] Allison: It's the MP4.

[31:16] Whitney: That's not I feel like Gleeks leave these recordings and they're always like, now I understand.

[31:23] Allison: I get it.

[31:24] Whitney: Now I get it.

[31:25] Allison: So I feel I I hope that you you're converted after the end of it.

[31:28] Whitney: We'll see.

[31:30] Allison: Depending on what we pull.

[31:32] Whitney: Um it's not unusual versus hopelessly devoted to you.

[31:36] Allison: That one was sickening.

[31:37] Whitney: Two blowlows together?

[31:38] Allison: No.

[31:39] Whitney: I know.

[31:39] Allison: I know.

[31:40] Whitney: Blow versus blow low.

[31:41] Allison: And then blow after blow.

[31:44] Whitney: It must have been love versus not while I'm around.

[31:47] Allison: I actually really like it must have been love, so that's my fault.

[31:52] Whitney: I'm not surprised that the glikies love that, which they did.

[31:55] Allison: I really like that one a lot.

[31:57] Whitney: Interesting.

[31:58] Allison: Okay, now we're gonna go into the next tier.

[32:01] Whitney: Um I don't agree, but I'm not too hurt by it.

[32:03] Allison: Okay.

[32:04] Whitney: Um nights versus home.

[32:08] Allison: I just Chris Culford does like this weird Southern twang accent in it that I can't stand.

[32:14] Whitney: In home?

[32:14] Allison: Oh.

[32:15] Whitney: Yeah.

[32:15] Allison: When he's like the Alabama Arkansas.

[32:17] Whitney: Like, I hate it.

[32:18] Allison: Alabama, Arkansas.

[32:20] Whitney: I'm gonna love my mama.

[32:23] Allison: But not the way that I do love you.

[32:26] Whitney: That's horrible.

[32:28] Allison: Um, but you want to.

[32:36] Whitney: Um I also have Scream versus Take Me or Leave Me.

[32:40] Allison: I really like Scream.

[32:42] Whitney: Hmm.

[32:43] Allison: It's my favorite movie.

[32:45] Whitney: Good movie. Also good song, in case you're wondering.

[32:50] Allison: And then this one's humiliating, so I don't know why I'm going to um profess this to you guys.

[32:55] Whitney: Say it.

[32:56] Allison: Um come see about me versus I Wanna Sex You Up.

[32:59] Whitney: Oh.

[33:00] Allison: I really like that Akafella song, and I don't know why.

[33:04] Whitney: It's horrible.

[33:05] Allison: It's it's my I know you ain't gonna sing that song.

[33:10] Whitney: Anytime it comes on shuffle, I just gets so hype.

[33:12] Allison: It's horrible.

[33:14] Whitney: Okay.

[33:14] Allison: Like I understand.

[33:15] Whitney: Again, I'm not upset by it.

[33:17] Allison: Okay.

[33:17] Whitney: Okay.

[33:18] Allison: Um, girls on film versus Jar of Hearts.

[33:21] Whitney: I like girls on film.

[33:23] Allison: Me too.

[33:23] Whitney: I went to the game.

[33:24] Allison: So do I.

[33:25] Whitney: So wait, but Elisa, what did you vote? Did you vote for Jar of Hearts or did you vote for the girls on film?

[33:31] Allison: I feel like I must have given a pity vote to girls on film.

[33:33] Whitney: I think you did.

[33:34] Allison: Not without looking at a list.

[33:36] Whitney: Without looking at I think that's what I said.

[33:39] Allison: Yeah.

[33:40] Whitney: Um, I only have a few in the deserve the hate DMs ones.

[33:44] Allison: So they're pretty obvious.

[33:46] Whitney: They're pretty obvious, I feel like.

[33:48] Allison: Um I still believe Superbass versus the Bell one.

[33:50] Whitney: I don't remember what it's the full title of this.

[33:52] Allison: We deserve the bell!

[33:54] Whitney: We deserve hate for that?

[33:56] Allison: Yes.

[33:57] Whitney: Oh my god.

[33:58] Allison: That is like literally one of the most beautiful MP3s I've ever heard.

[34:02] Whitney: Snooze.

[34:03] Allison: I've never I don't think I've ever heard the full MP3.

[34:05] Whitney: Oh my god. Go back.

[34:08] Allison: Nope. Leave and come back.

[34:10] Whitney: We're gonna keep on moving.

[34:11] Allison: Okay.

[34:12] Whitney: The Fox versus Against All Odds, we talked about.

[34:15] Allison: Yeah.

[34:16] Whitney: Uh run Joey Run versus Blame It on the Alcohol.

[34:19] Allison: I would have chose blame it over Run Joey Run, but I also kind of understand the Run Joy One.

[34:23] Whitney: Like it came back.

[34:26] Allison: It came back.

[34:27] Whitney: They're both gone through.

[34:27] Allison: Yeah.

[34:28] Whitney: And then of course, Silly Love Songs versus Americano Dance Again.

[34:32] Allison: Horrible.

[34:33] Whitney: Wow.

[34:33] Allison: Allison, you lost me.

[34:35] Whitney: I know.

[34:36] Allison: That was early on in the game, too.

[34:37] Whitney: Yeah, yeah.

[34:38] Allison: It's like bitch.

[34:40] Whitney: I start this podcast. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna start a podcast with my best friend Tucking Maggle.

[34:45] Allison: I love Blaine Anderson.

[34:46] Whitney: I'm gonna be the Blaine.

[34:48] Allison: One thing you want to know about me? One thing you want to know about me is that I love Blaine.

[34:51] Whitney: And I'm gonna come in here and love all the Blaine songs.

[34:55] Allison: And then Silly Love Songs plays episode fucking six or some shit.

[34:59] Whitney: And I'm just like that.

[35:01] Allison: Like Wow.

[35:03] Whitney: Horrible.

[35:03] Allison: You betrayed.

[35:04] Whitney: Beautiful MP3.

[35:05] Allison: Beautiful MP4.

[35:06] Whitney: I love it.

[35:07] Allison: Yeah.

[35:08] Whitney: The cousin.

[35:10] Allison: This is this the spicy category.

[35:12] Whitney: It's a you guys got away with this too easy.

[35:14] Allison: I kind of there's a good amount.

[35:15] Whitney: I kind of want to. Is there a worse tier than this?

[35:17] Allison: No, this is the worst tier.

[35:18] Whitney: Oh, okay.

[35:19] Allison: Okay.

[35:19] Whitney: Okay.

[35:20] Allison: I won't let you get away with this anymore.

[35:22] Whitney: Um don't speak versus human nature.

[35:25] Allison: I'm sorry, human nature is a snooze.

[35:26] Whitney: Don't speak has dramatics and theatrics, and it's just a lot better.

[35:30] Allison: The hard competition.

[35:32] Whitney: Mid versus mid.

[35:33] Allison: I'm just kidding.

[35:35] Whitney: Just kidding. Just kidding.

[35:36] Allison: That was offensive to both of us on two different spectrums.

[35:39] Whitney: That was that because if it's flop mid-slay, it's like in between mid and sleigh.

[35:46] Allison: Mid sleigh?

[35:47] Whitney: Mid sleigh.

[35:48] Allison: Midslay.

[35:49] Whitney: Yeah.

[35:50] Allison: It really depends on the day between like I yeah, I I did vote for human nature.

[35:55] Whitney: But like it really depends on the day.

[35:57] Allison: Both of them need a little bit more for me.

[35:59] Whitney: From me.

[36:01] Allison: Waiting for it to be great.

[36:02] Allison: Waiting for you to be great.

[36:03] Whitney: I get that.

[36:03] Whitney: Wait, what's next?

[36:04] Allison: Uh breakaway versus call me maybe.

[36:06] Whitney: I don't know why call me maybe won that.

[36:07] Allison: That was horrible.

[36:09] Whitney: I was in my anti-Kelly Clarkson era.

[36:11] Allison: That was bad.

[36:13] Whitney: It's first of all the context of like, what would this is what Rachel Berry would do.

[36:17] Allison: Sing a pop song.

[36:17] Whitney: No, she wouldn't.

[36:18] Allison: No, I think it's listen.

[36:20] Whitney: No.

[36:21] Allison: I'm not the proudest of that vote, but like looking back, I think it's it's it's the hilarity of the choreography of Call Me Maybe, like unique, Tina, Brittany, and Blaine, like sort of just like all attacking each other.

[36:34] Whitney: Yeah.

[36:34] Allison: It's so much more exciting than like I understand that breakaway is a better MP3, but breakaway is like they're just standing on stage and they're not doing much.

[36:42] Whitney: I don't know.

[36:43] Allison: That's true.

[36:43] Whitney: Call me maybe is a more cultural touchstone for me.

[36:47] Allison: The MP4 is better.

[36:48] Whitney: I'll give you that.

[36:48] Allison: Maybe I'll I'll let I'll lessen the sentence on that one.

[36:51] Whitney: It's like a instead of a felony.

[36:53] Allison: Instead of a felony, it's like a misdemeanor or something.

[36:55] Whitney: Like hold on versus higher ground.

[36:59] Allison: Why didn't Higher Ground go through?

[37:02] Whitney: Um I'll tell you why. Because hold on is iconic.

[37:04] Allison: Okay, it's iconic, but like higher ground's better.

[37:08] Whitney: Hold on for one more day.

[37:10] Allison: Someday, some I'm only doing this because Alice and Give her like a very audio medium.

[37:14] Whitney: I'm like confused basically.

[37:15] Allison: Well, because I'm sitting at my desk right now.

[37:19] Whitney: I'm sitting at my desk right now, and I'm like, I looked over to my left and I'm looking at the Jonas Brothers lines.

[37:27] Allison: What did they cover Jonas Brothers?

[37:29] Whitney: Never, but hold on, not even on this album.

[37:32] Allison: Hold on is on self-titled.

[37:34] Whitney: But then I'm like, oh, I didn't ask Andrew about seeing the Jonas Brothers at SNL.

[37:37] Allison: And then you said hold on.

[37:39] Whitney: And I was like, hold on by the Jonas brothers?

[37:41] Allison: Yeah.

[37:42] Whitney: They sang that on Glee.

[37:43] Allison: Yeah.

[37:44] Whitney: And then I was like, no, keep holding on.

[37:45] Allison: And I'm like, no, that's not what they said.

[37:47] Whitney: And then thus the confused look.

[37:49] Allison: Got it.

[37:50] Whitney: There's so many damn songs called Hold On.

[37:52] Allison: I've been I've actually thought about hosting like a hold-on themed party before where we just listened to songs called.

[37:59] Whitney: Cord Overstreet also has a song called Hold On.

[38:02] Allison: Really?

[38:03] Whitney: Believe it or not.

[38:03] Allison: And it went crazy on TikTok.

[38:05] Whitney: Is that the song that went crazy on TikTok?

[38:07] Allison: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[38:08] Whitney: How does that go?

[38:09] Allison: No, I don't know.

[38:10] Whitney: Bad Glee.

[38:14] Allison: But you hate us for that, yeah.

[38:16] Whitney: A little bit.

[38:17] Allison: Okay.

[38:18] Whitney: Um I can live with that.

[38:22] Allison: Over the Rainbow versus Hello.

[38:24] Whitney: Over the Rainbow is a skip.

[38:26] Allison: I get the sentimental factor, but it's the MP4.

[38:29] Whitney: It's still a skip.

[38:30] Allison: Yeah.

[38:31] Whitney: This is the new year versus your love is my love.

[38:33] Allison: I am honestly the biggest shooter for this is the new year, and I don't know why.

[38:37] Whitney: It's a good song.

[38:38] Allison: It is.

[38:43] Whitney: Like, oh.

[38:45] Allison: I'm trying to I'm trying to find the connection.

[38:47] Whitney: I mean, like it's the same Glee Club that seems like.

[38:52] Allison: But like I would put them on the I would put them on the same like road trip playlist, you know?

[38:59] Whitney: But I think I'm driving up to the North Shore and I want to listen to like nostalgia pop.

[39:06] Allison: Hmm.

[39:08] Whitney: Isn't it like I don't want to yuck your yum or anything?

[39:11] Allison: But like this is the new year, it's not nostalgia pop.

[39:13] Whitney: Like that came out in like 2012.

[39:15] Allison: No, it's not, but it makes me feel nostalgic for nothing.

[39:15] Whitney: For nothing.

[39:19] Allison: For a time.

[39:20] Whitney: I will quote the Naked Brothers band movie right now.

[39:23] Allison: Say it.

[39:24] Whitney: Their sound is very nostalgic. It makes you makes you want for a better time.

[39:30] Allison: Um that's from the movie.

[39:33] Whitney: I don't I want to say Cindy Lopper, but I don't think so.

[39:37] Allison: Cindy Lopper was in the movie.

[39:38] Whitney: She performed with Nat Wolf.

[39:43] Allison: The girl magnet.

[39:44] Whitney: Uh Julian Love is also in it, right?

[39:47] Allison: Yes.

[39:47] Whitney: And Uma Thurman.

[39:49] Allison: Oh my god.

[39:50] Whitney: Icon after icon.

[39:51] Allison: Icon after icon.

[39:52] Whitney: And uh Quest Love, I think.

[39:54] Allison: Okay.

[39:55] Whitney: Dang.

[39:56] Allison: How'd they get this list?

[39:57] Whitney: Because Polly Draper, their mother is a very famous woman.

[40:02] Allison: Nepo baby.

[40:03] Whitney: Neppo Baby alert.

[40:04] Allison: Nepo baby alone.

[40:09] Whitney: Anyways, back to Glee.

[40:10] Allison: Back to You Hate Us, actually.

[40:12] Whitney: Yeah.

[40:12] Allison: Uh Pure Imagine versus It's Too Late.

[40:14] Whitney: Why is Willy Wonka covering, like beating the one of the best claim duets?

[40:22] Allison: Answer it for me.

[40:23] Whitney: Isn't it's too late the one like in the record shop and it's like a dream sequence?

[40:27] Allison: Yeah, it's not for me.

[40:29] Whitney: I like it.

[40:30] Allison: I like I we like a little like Tina has like some good vocals on pure imagination.

[40:35] Whitney: Yeah.

[40:36] Allison: It's still not as good.

[40:38] Whitney: Okay.

[40:39] Allison: You know.

[40:40] Whitney: Sorry.

[40:41] Allison: What was that thing?

[40:42] Whitney: Is that what you want to hear?

[40:42] Allison: Yeah.

[40:43] Whitney: Sorry.

[40:44] Allison: That's exactly what I want to hear.

[40:45] Whitney: Um Heroes versus a Thousand Miles.

[40:47] Allison: This was Sam Duet versus Sam Duet, and Heroes is the better duet.

[40:51] Whitney: Oh.

[40:53] Allison: Ooh.

[40:56] Whitney: Doubling down.

[40:57] Allison: No.

[40:57] Whitney: It was the best blamed.

[41:00] Andrew: I don't like Blam.

[41:01] Whitney: You did.

[41:02] Allison: No, I I don't like Blam.

[41:03] Whitney: I don't get it.

[41:05] Allison: I'm sorry.

[41:07] Whitney: Like I I I look I literally looked at a list of Blam duets today and I was like, is there a single one that hits?

[41:13] Allison: Not for me.

[41:14] Whitney: No.

[41:15] Allison: That's wrong.

[41:16] Whitney: Sorry.

[41:17] Allison: You're wrong.

[41:17] Whitney: What's next?

[41:18] Allison: Um Sway versus My Life Would Suck Without You.

[41:22] Whitney: Okay.

[41:22] Allison: Yeah.

[41:23] Whitney: There it is.

[41:24] Allison: Yeah.

[41:25] Whitney: That's kind of crazy that that even happened.

[41:27] Allison: I'm anti Kelly Clarkson.

[41:28] Whitney: Kelly Clarkson.

[41:29] Allison: What did she do to DMs?

[41:31] Whitney: What is she wanna fight?

[41:37] Allison: An open call to fight Alice and Duncan right now.

[41:41] Whitney: I want to fight her.

[41:42] Allison: You sound gorgeous to me, Kelly.

[41:43] Whitney: Kelly, I think you're great, but just like Miley Cyrus, you make songs better by singing them.

[41:50] Allison: And that makes me mad.

[41:51] Whitney: Isn't that the whole premise of Glee?

[41:53] Allison: Oh my god. Bringing it back to Glee.

[41:56] Whitney: Someone needed to do it.

[41:59] Allison: Wait, so are you're saying that you're Glee?

[42:02] Whitney: Yeah, I actually.

[42:03] Allison: I God, I can't stand the show.

[42:04] Whitney: I can't believe we've been talking about it for two and a half years.

[42:06] Allison: We're gonna continue talking about it for another two and a half.

[42:09] Whitney: Yeah, you got a long time.

[42:10] Allison: Here we go.

[42:10] Whitney: Um it's a man's man's Randworld versus Beauty School dropout was brutal.

[42:14] Allison: Okay.

[42:15] Whitney: Yeah, it hurt.

[42:16] Allison: It hurt.

[42:17] Whitney: I still hurt for that.

[42:20] Allison: I think this was the first time I ever DM'd you guys.

[42:22] Whitney: It was about addicted to love versus L O V E.

[42:24] Allison: And I was like, am I the only one that likes addicted to love?

[42:26] Andrew: And I don't know who it was that replied, but they said yes.

[42:32] Whitney: You are probably me.

[42:33] Andrew: Yeah, you were.

[42:34] Whitney: Am I the only one that likes this?

[42:35] Allison: Yes.

[42:35] Whitney: Yes.

[42:36] Andrew: Yeah.

[42:38] Whitney: I'm sorry to say.

[42:39] Allison: Sorry.

[42:40] Whitney: Yeah.

[42:40] Andrew: The last one I'll say.

[42:41] Whitney: Okay.

[42:42] Allison: Season six sing, like the Warblers sing.

[42:46] Whitney: Versus, I can't go for that.

[42:47] Andrew: Oh.

[42:47] Whitney: You make my dreams.

[42:49] Allison: Sing is so good.

[42:52] Whitney: Literally, I turn it on and I'm just like transported.

[42:56] Allison: Literally.

[42:56] Whitney: I don't know what kind of energy I get, but I'm like moving, zooming. Like it is just it takes me to a different place.

[43:02] Andrew: Oh, oh yes.

[43:04] Whitney: Michael Olivier, duet with Blaine.

[43:07] Andrew: And you guys, what happened?

[43:10] Whitney: Um, what was it against?

[43:12] Andrew: You just said it.

[43:13] Whitney: You make my dreams come true.

[43:14] Andrew: I can't go for that.

[43:16] Whitney: Yeah.

[43:16] Allison: Defend it.

[43:17] Whitney: Yeah.

[43:17] Allison: Can you defend it, Allison?

[43:19] Whitney: Can I defend it? You're making my dreams come.

[43:21] Allison: What that is that the that's the mashup that um not Treble Tones do?

[43:27] Whitney: Yeah.

[43:27] Allison: Yes.

[43:28] Whitney: With the hot, the bright outfits.

[43:30] Allison: Yeah.

[43:33] Whitney: I can't defend that one.

[43:34] Allison: No, I can't.

[43:35] Whitney: Exactly.

[43:36] Allison: Oh no, I love it.

[43:37] Whitney: Oh no!

[43:39] Allison: And like Quinn. The Quinn has a really great vocal moment in that song.

[43:42] Whitney: You know, for being a Quinn Stan, how did Control lose?

[43:46] Allison: Uh, because Quinn only talks a little bit at the beginning.

[43:51] Whitney: It's a fucking thing.

[43:53] Allison: Control of what I say.

[43:55] Whitney: Control.

[43:56] Allison: Control of what I do.

[43:58] Whitney: And this time I'm gonna do it my way, my way. What was Control against? Um, hold on, I have it in my list too. I was also upset. Ooh, I'm gonna say Lady's a Tramp.

[43:58] Allison: Yes, horrible.

[43:58] Whitney: No, oh my god. Um, Amber Riley getting out of her chair doing a run, no incredible.

[43:58] Allison: Sorry, that's so good.

[43:58] Whitney: I can't defend it.

[43:58] Allison: Okay, okay.

[43:58] Whitney: I can't defend my status. We've talked a lot about songs that we've talked about before. What are you hoping that we talk about tonight, Whitney?

[43:58] Whitney: I want Somewhere We Go sometimes, of course Landslide.

[43:58] Allison: Oh no, don't say that back to back.

[43:58] Whitney: Oh god, no I don't want to think about it. Um, uh, I have all of them in my head now they're gone. Three Boys' Boyfriend, I really want Boys' Boyfriend because I was just listening to it before I got on and I was like this is really good, it's a vibe.

[43:58] Andrew: It is a vibe.

[43:58] Whitney: Okay, oh god that's amazing. This cup light as hell, light as hell, it's terrifying left in here.

[43:58] Andrew: Okay, our first song of the night, um season two neutral response.

[43:58] Whitney: Neutral, yeah so it's not, it's uh it's a okay I guess we have to listen to this one.

[43:58] Andrew: Oh no, what does that mean?

[43:58] Whitney: I think I just listed this. You allow me to share my screen please?

[43:58] Andrew: Oh yeah, I would gladly do that.

[45:37] Whitney: Thank you. If we're gonna listen to this.

[45:39] Andrew: I'm also, I'm gonna turn my camera off during this performance. It's just because I'm gonna be taking my temperature.

[45:44] Whitney: Okay, everybody.

[45:45] Andrew: Oh, okay. See if it rises. I think I might have a fever.

[45:51] Whitney: Here we go. Listen to the song "Hearing My Heart."

[46:00] ♪ Musical number: "Hearing My Heart" — performed by Glee Cast ♪

[48:15] Andrew: Okay, yeah.

[48:16] Whitney: Okay, yeah.

[48:18] Andrew: Maybe a top ten Glee covers for me.

[48:22] Whitney: Top ten.

[48:23] Andrew: Okay. Audio medium, everyone's being really rude to me.

[48:29] Whitney: Audio medium, we all just went.

[48:34] Andrew: But in an unaudio medium fashion.

[48:37] Whitney: Wait a minute. No, I've said it in a previous episode. And like literally, I remember like there were like also like the head nods where they're like, hmm, what is he talking about? I said that this version is better than Beyoncé's.

[48:45] Andrew: Literally listen to Beyoncé's version and then listen to Sunshine's version. Like Sunshine ultimately, yeah, Beyoncé great vocalist. Not enough people say it, whatever. But like Sunshine really elevates this song, and I really fucking love it.

[49:03] Whitney: I love.

[49:04] Andrew: You're allowed to love it.

[49:06] Whitney: You can love to do it. Somebody's gotta talk about it.

[49:08] Andrew: Someone has to like it.

[49:09] Whitney: Somebody's gotta like.

[49:10] Andrew: I'm not saying that's so rude. I'm not saying that this is a bad song. But I want to hear what Whitney has to say about it because I think we might have.

[49:17] Whitney: Um, I wrote down three notes.

[49:21] Andrew: Okay.

[49:21] Whitney: Um I have good, mid, and Rachel's face.

[49:21] Andrew: Rachel's face.

[49:27] Whitney: Yeah.

[49:28] Andrew: In the MP4.

[49:29] Whitney: Wait, but like, okay. Riddle me this. Because it's like, why is it a mid? Because I mean, like, if Mercedes did it, I don't know if you would be calling it mid. If Mercedes literally lip synced to this, I think it would be a tier above for you.

[49:43] Andrew: Yeah.

[49:44] Whitney: I mean, what's wrong with that?

[49:47] Andrew: What's wrong with that?

[49:48] Whitney: Mercedes!

[49:49] Andrew: Mercedes!

[49:50] Whitney: Mercedes Ladies is It's this It's Sun like Wait, why are we calling I feel like I'm fucking like Looney Town right now.

[49:59] Andrew: It's mid Slay.

[50:00] Whitney: It's mid Slay.

[50:01] Andrew: It's it's mid Slay.

[50:02] Whitney: It's not complete slay. I like this song. It's just not I j I think Sunshine Corazon, amazing voice. Absolutely amazing. Sunshine Corazon makes this fucking song their bitch, and it's incredible.

[50:19] Andrew: I think the song is just bad.

[50:21] Whitney: Yes.

[50:22] Andrew: I don't like the song.

[50:24] Whitney: Okay.

[50:24] Andrew: It's well, I wouldn't say bad, but it's just not. I don't like listen to it willingly. Like if it comes on shuffles, sure. It's also it's like a if I'm rewatching Glee and I need a bathroom break, it's good time.

[50:36] Whitney: There you go.

[50:37] Andrew: That's your heiress tour bathroom break song.

[50:40] Whitney: Exactly.

[50:40] Andrew: This is so mean.

[50:42] Whitney: Yeah, yeah. I really cannot believe that this is the discourse that's happening.

[50:45] Andrew: But it's good. Uh Rachel, the Rachel face that you're talking about, Whitney. Uh Rachel Audio Medium is reacting to this song because Sunshine Corazon is an incredible singer and Rachel knows that. And is like, oh my god, they're uh they're gonna take over my position.

[51:02] Whitney: But what Rachel does, it's a split second, blink and you'll miss it. She does a big audio medium.

[51:06] Andrew: She does a big across the world with her tongue.

[51:15] Whitney: It like the if she licks her lips. She did that at the beginning of Somewhere as well.

[51:19] Andrew: I didn't see that.

[51:21] Whitney: It is so sensual to me.

[51:23] Andrew: Wait, bring it up because I also need to show you all something as well.

[51:27] Whitney: Okay.

[51:28] Andrew: It is so sensual to me, and I it's definitely done on purpose. It's not a like, it's a character choice that she makes.

[51:36] Whitney: No, I think that Leah Michelle, there are like a a number of like background moments where Leah Michelle licks her lips.

[51:43] Andrew: Why does she do that?

[51:43] Whitney: Okay, wait, yeah. I think it's just like a thing for her.

[51:46] Andrew: And that's okay.

[51:47] Whitney: She's a lot of hub things.

[51:49] Andrew: No, she's not.

[51:52] Whitney: Um is it? Oh, here it is.

[51:55] Andrew: Okay.

[51:56] Whitney: In my own home.

[51:58] Andrew: Okay.

[51:59] Whitney: No, that wasn't it. Fuck.

[52:02] Andrew: Yeah, that it is.

[52:03] Whitney: Oh, no, I got it. I got there.

[52:04] Andrew: It was.

[52:05] Whitney: Let's watch it again. That was weird.

[52:08] Andrew: Okay, so Audio Medium, if you want to look it up yourselves, it's like it's the scene that Rachel looks back at everyone cheering. It's like a shot of like Quinn Puck. Um, and then she comes back and it's like a second shot where she she licks her lips.

[52:25] Whitney: Um, I want to draw attention to, I always catch this every time that I watch this performance. Right at the beginning, when when Sunshine starts singing, there's a shot of Santana, and she does the ever so slightest like head nod that I think is such a fun, it's closer of Santana.

[52:46] Andrew: Did we see it?

[52:47] Whitney: That isn't even a nod. That's a like twitch.

[52:50] Andrew: It's like, oh, I've been holding my body in this position too hard. My muscles need to move.

[52:54] Whitney: She just moved her head just a little like degree. Um, but yeah, I love this. Also, I remember in college that there was like a whole like I was in student government in college, and I remember that Hanan, who is also in student government, she was trying to perfect um Sunshine's arm choreography in this in this song, which I think is so iconic, and no one like no one's having this conversation that Sunshine just like does this like uh like flippantly like throws out their arms and then lands on a T pose and I love it.

[53:30] Andrew: I love that is good tea posing, the T pose.

[53:34] Whitney: It's like dress up Sunshine.

[53:37] Andrew: Why is T posing like vaguely threatening?

[53:42] Whitney: It's like kind of like okay, in a way that you'll understand, like kind of like bird, I would imagine, like making yourself bigger.

[53:48] Andrew: Yeah, making yourself bigger to scare your enemies.

[53:51] Whitney: Yeah.

[53:52] Andrew: Yeah. I would say it worked for Sunshine.

[53:55] Whitney: It did.

[53:57] Andrew: Um okay, I'm really scared for what I'm gonna pull.

[54:01] Whitney: Um this just isn't a song for me.

[54:03] Andrew: As you're talking as you're pulling it, I'll continue talking. It's just not a song for me. I mean, I like objectively, it's good.

[54:11] Whitney: Yeah, subjectively, it's not for me.

[54:13] Andrew: Exactly.

[54:14] Whitney: It's not for me. It wasn't made for me. And that's okay. I'm not a Beyoncé girl.

[54:19] Andrew: Okay, that's too far.

[54:21] Whitney: Season four.

[54:22] Andrew: Yeah.

[54:23] Whitney: Yeah.

[54:24] Andrew: Ignore that.

[54:26] Whitney: Um season four, we're gonna know exactly what song it is from the first.

[54:32] Andrew: We know what it is.

[54:34] Whitney: Oh my god, no way.

[54:40] Andrew: This song is three minutes and twenty-four seconds.

[54:43] Whitney: How I hate that.

[54:46] Andrew: Bathroom break vibes for...

[54:46] Whitney: Wait, actually, I'm gonna go use the bathroom.

[54:51] Andrew: Go, go, go, go.

[54:54] Whitney: Audio medium, he actually left.

[56:00] Andrew: Bring him home, we're like the sun, I might have known if God had granted me a son the summer by one, how soon they f and I am and will be gone.

[57:11] Whitney: Let him leave him if I die him home.

[58:19] Allison: Wait, audio medium, what did you just do?

[58:27] Whitney: What does that say?

[58:28] Allison: What is that?

[58:29] Whitney: Wait.

[58:31] Whitney: Wait, I didn't know that you can draw on the Holy Shit.

[58:36] Allison: This is hilarious.

[58:37] Whitney: Oh my God.

[58:40] Allison: Oh wait.

[58:46] Whitney: Oh my god.

[58:47] Allison: What just happened?

[58:49] Whitney: Wait.

[58:50] Allison: Do you want to audio?

[58:52] Whitney: Can you take a picture of this and add it to the camera?

[58:56] Allison: Take a picture.

[58:59] Whitney: Let me scream.

[59:02] Allison: But I'm gonna get you in it.

[59:06] Whitney: Oh my god.

[59:07] Whitney: I found I was so bored during that performance.

[59:11] Whitney: And when I move my cursor, I see a little like pencil down in the corner that says annotate.

[59:23] Whitney: And I found pencils that you can draw on the screen.

[59:28] Whitney: You drew on top of the MP4.

[59:33] Whitney: These hearts inside me.

[59:38] Whitney: Why was that so fucking wall?

[59:41] Whitney: My favorite part was the watermarks edition.

[59:44] Whitney: It just sent Alice and Dodge on top of it.

[59:48] Whitney: I was like, what?

[59:49] Allison: Wait, yeah.

[59:50] Whitney: I really thought that while I was screen recording two years ago that for whatever reason Alice and Dodge came up.

[59:58] Allison: Oh holy shit, that's good.

[1:00:00] Whitney: Oh wait, did you get the picture?

[1:00:01] Allison: Can I stop screaming?

[1:00:02] Whitney: Wait, let me let me get a better picture here.

[1:00:04] Allison: Oh, let's take a picture.

[1:00:06] Whitney: Oh cute!

[1:00:08] Allison: Oh this is cute.

[1:00:10] Whitney: That is hilarious.

[1:00:11] Allison: Okay.

[1:00:13] Whitney: You got it?

[1:00:13] Allison: I was good.

[1:00:14] Whitney: Yeah, that's what I have to say about this song, pretty much.

[1:00:17] Allison: Yeah.

[1:00:18] Whitney: Um, why was that so much longer than I remembered?

[1:00:22] Allison: I don't know.

[1:00:24] Whitney: I don't know.

[1:00:25] Whitney: Like, that's a whole like commercial break song commercial break.

[1:00:29] Allison: That's crazy.

[1:00:30] Whitney: And you know what? I feel like I brought this up before when we were talking about like make no mistake, she's mine, and I'm like, how do we have time for this, but not dancing on my own?

[1:00:39] Allison: Right.

[1:00:39] Whitney: Brittany, which was cut from this same episode.

[1:00:42] Allison: And you know what? No.

[1:00:43] Whitney: Keep make no mistake she's mine in the episode.

[1:00:47] Whitney: Cut this!

[1:00:48] Whitney: This is so fucking long and so boring.

[1:00:51] Whitney: And also, like, I mean, I feel like they reached a point in Glee where it's like, oh, the Rachel plot line in this episode is she's gonna get in a fight with someone.

[1:01:01] Whitney: Yeah, she's gonna compete with Kurt again.

[1:01:03] Whitney: And I'm like, again, seriously? We don't we don't I don't care.

[1:01:07] Whitney: It's old.

[1:01:08] Whitney: Allison, how do you feel about bring him home?

[1:01:10] Whitney: Glee Cast version.

[1:01:11] Allison: Um I wrote snooze and then three Zs.

[1:01:16] Whitney: Oh.

[1:01:16] Allison: Which one are you streaming?

[1:01:17] Whitney: The Kurt solo version or the Rachel solo version?

[1:01:20] Allison: When you're listening to the street.

[1:01:21] Whitney: Great question.

[1:01:22] Allison: Are you asking me?

[1:01:24] Whitney: Neither.

[1:01:25] Allison: Oh.

[1:01:26] Whitney: Ooh.

[1:01:27] Whitney: You have to, you have to.

[1:01:28] Allison: You have to, you have to stream one of them.

[1:01:30] Whitney: I guess.

[1:01:31] Allison: You have to like add one of them to your library.

[1:01:33] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:01:33] Allison: Or else I die.

[1:01:35] Whitney: Uh legally.

[1:01:36] Allison: Rachel, I guess.

[1:01:38] Whitney: Okay.

[1:01:39] Allison: But it's like, I'll turn I'll I'll turn the volume down.

[1:01:42] Whitney: And do something else.

[1:01:44] Allison: This is gonna be boring.

[1:01:47] Whitney: It's boring, but I will say, better than Hugh Jackman.

[1:01:52] Allison: No.

[1:01:53] Whitney: I think Hugh Jackman is not a very good singer.

[1:01:56] Allison: I'm saying it.

[1:01:57] Whitney: No, I think that I like the Hugh Jackman.

[1:01:59] Whitney: I was thinking the same, like the same note, but honestly.

[1:02:05] Allison: That's a really good impression.

[1:02:07] Whitney: That was really good.

[1:02:09] Whitney: The dog TikTok that he was like the dog was howling and people were like, why does this dog sound like Hugh Jackman?

[1:02:18] Allison: I love no, I okay.

[1:02:21] Whitney: I don't bring him home as a song, like really snoozy.

[1:02:24] Whitney: I'm a lay Miz girl to the day I fucking die.

[1:02:28] Whitney: But like bring him home snooze.

[1:02:30] Whitney: But like if I'm gonna listen to uh bring him home, I'm gonna listen to the Hugh Jackman version, if any of them, I guess.

[1:02:36] Allison: No.

[1:02:37] Whitney: It's like it's a live recording.

[1:02:39] Whitney: Makes me uncomfy.

[1:02:40] Whitney: The only time I like Hugh Jackman singing is when he is like um I stole a loaf of bread.

[1:02:49] Allison: Oh, like what is that?

[1:02:51] Whitney: The oh the 24601!

[1:02:54] Allison: 24601.

[1:02:56] Whitney: You've just begun.

[1:02:57] Allison: Yeah.

[1:02:58] Whitney: Um I do love that.

[1:02:59] Whitney: I do like Hugh Jackman and Greatest Showman.

[1:03:02] Allison: Like a zombie in a maze.

[1:03:07] Whitney: Wait.

[1:03:07] Allison: You do a really good Jackman impression.

[1:03:10] Whitney: I'm like really impressed.

[1:03:11] Allison: First Reba, now Hugh Jackman.

[1:03:16] Whitney: Oh, Hugh, get out of here.

[1:03:18] Whitney: Please.

[1:03:18] Whitney: You gave me COVID at the Tonies.

[1:03:20] Allison: Please leave me alone.

[1:03:21] Whitney: Oh my god.

[1:03:22] Whitney: I forgot about that that he got he got Tony's the day after COVID.

[1:03:27] Allison: After COVID, exactly.

[1:03:28] Whitney: Oh my god.

[1:03:30] Allison: Oh.

[1:03:30] Whitney: Okay.

[1:03:31] Whitney: Well, I feel like my baby girl listened.

[1:03:34] Whitney: She's safe.

[1:03:35] Allison: Yeah.

[1:03:35] Whitney: She's safe.

[1:03:36] Whitney: She's gone.

[1:03:40] Whitney: Okay, we all vote.

[1:03:41] Allison: Does anybody want to throw a pity one?

[1:03:43] Whitney: No.

[1:03:43] Allison: Nope.

[1:03:45] Whitney: Okay.

[1:03:45] Whitney: No.

[1:03:46] Whitney: Sorry, bring him home.

[1:03:48] Whitney: I'm not sorry.

[1:03:50] Whitney: Sorry, I'm not sure.

[1:03:50] Whitney: The other two lame is Gleek House covers are going through, though.

[1:03:54] Allison: So there's What are the other two?

[1:03:56] Whitney: Don't say it.

[1:03:56] Allison: Don't say it.

[1:03:57] Whitney: Don't say it.

[1:03:57] Allison: Don't say it.

[1:04:00] Whitney: I dreamed a dream in time gone by.

[1:04:04] Allison: And then.

[1:04:05] Whitney: Yes.

[1:04:06] Whitney: Come on.

[1:04:08] Whitney: It's literally the first song on the Glacket.

[1:04:11] Whitney: Like the first song that's eligible on the Glackett.

[1:04:15] Allison: Oh my god.

[1:04:16] Whitney: On my own.

[1:04:18] Allison: Yeah.

[1:04:18] Whitney: Pretending he.

[1:04:20] Whitney: I really want it to be.

[1:04:21] Whitney: I really wanted it to be.

[1:04:22] Whitney: So here's the connection in my head.

[1:04:24] Whitney: This is how my brain works.

[1:04:26] Whitney: So I'm like, okay, what's another Le Miz song?

[1:04:28] Whitney: And I see.

[1:04:29] Whitney: Lovely ladies.

[1:04:30] Whitney: Come on!

[1:04:32] Whitney: No, I see Gev Rush in my head, but I think he also played the little boy in um Into the Woods.

[1:04:37] Whitney: So I hear in my head, there are giants in the sky.

[1:04:41] Whitney: And then I think Jonathan Groff, Jesse St. James sang that as his audition for Niada.

[1:04:46] Whitney: And then I'm like, okay, no, that's not Lame is.

[1:04:48] Whitney: You know what is Lame is?

[1:04:49] Whitney: My castle in a cloud.

[1:04:52] Whitney: Which is kind of the same energy.

[1:04:53] Whitney: Same energy as Giants in the Sky.

[1:04:57] Whitney: The funniest thing is that when I went to the Leah Michelle concert in July, Baby Girl just kept on going with the Lay Miz.

[1:05:04] Whitney: She sang on my own, I dreamed a dream, and also Castle on a Cloud.

[1:05:08] Whitney: And I'm like, girl, I love Lady Castle.

[1:05:10] Whitney: Castle on a cloud.

[1:05:11] Whitney: Well, because like that was like her first role on Broadway's like young cosette.

[1:05:16] Whitney: And like it was her anniversary, her broad version.

[1:05:21] Whitney: But I was like, girl, this is a little bit too much, Lamez, even for me.

[1:05:21] Whitney: Even for me.

[1:05:26] Whitney: I Lamiz is fine to me.

[1:05:29] Allison: Okay, next song, You're Feeling Very Empty Brain.

[1:05:32] Whitney: Ohne minutes and 46 seconds.

[1:05:42] Whitney: I am not the girl who runs in hides, afraid of what could be.

[1:05:53] Whitney: And I will go there.

[1:05:58] Whitney: I need time to know that things are all ways closer than they see.

[1:06:08] Whitney: Now I'll do more than dream.

[1:06:14] Whitney: I gotta fly, gonna crash right through the sky.

[1:06:21] Whitney: Gonna touch the sun.

[1:06:24] Whitney: Show everyone, show everyone it's all or nothing.

[1:06:24] Whitney: All or nothing.

[1:06:30] Whitney: This is my life.

[1:06:33] Whitney: I'm a girl twice.

[1:06:38] Whitney: There's no in between.

[1:06:39] Whitney: No in between two extremes.

[1:06:41] Whitney: Two extra on nothing.

[1:07:09] Whitney: All nothing.

[1:07:16] Allison: Yeah, okay.

[1:07:17] Whitney: She's cute.

[1:07:18] Allison: She's cute.

[1:07:19] Whitney: Okay.

[1:07:20] Allison: All or nothing.

[1:07:22] Whitney: I'm gonna go with nothing.

[1:07:24] Allison: No.

[1:07:24] Whitney: You don't like it.

[1:07:26] Allison: Wait.

[1:07:27] Whitney: Wait, does the chat like this?

[1:07:29] Allison: I like it.

[1:07:30] Whitney: I like it.

[1:07:31] Allison: No, but you didn't like listen.

[1:07:33] Whitney: Objectively, it's good.

[1:07:35] Allison: Subjectively, no.

[1:07:36] Whitney: Again.

[1:07:37] Whitney: Not this.

[1:07:38] Allison: Oh god.

[1:07:38] Whitney: Objectively, it's good.

[1:07:40] Whitney: Baby.

[1:07:42] Whitney: And playing slate.

[1:07:44] Whitney: This is like Dcom original.

[1:07:47] Whitney: Like a bad DCOM.

[1:07:49] Allison: Stop that.

[1:07:50] Whitney: This would at least be in Camp Rock 3.

[1:07:52] Allison: Don't do that.

[1:07:53] Whitney: Camp Rock 3.

[1:07:54] Allison: Was that even was that good?

[1:07:56] Whitney: No, it didn't exist.

[1:07:57] Whitney: It didn't exist.

[1:07:58] Whitney: It was in my cute little mind.

[1:08:01] Whitney: Where they say all or nothing.

[1:08:06] Whitney: Marley original.

[1:08:07] Whitney: It's good.

[1:08:09] Whitney: This is the best Marley original song.

[1:08:11] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:08:11] Whitney: I'll give it a song.

[1:09:13] Whitney: Come on.

[1:09:13] Allison: Come on.

[1:09:14] Whitney: Don't do that.

[1:09:15] Whitney: Don't do that.

[1:09:15] Whitney: Audio medium Allison's holding up her Jonas Brothers album.

[1:09:19] Whitney: Don't do that.

[1:09:20] Allison: I'll show you taste.

[1:09:21] Whitney: Wait, I kinda wanna like open it and see what the insert is like.

[1:09:24] Whitney: Keep going.

[1:09:25] Whitney: Um Whitney, do you have any notes on All or Nothing Glee Castration by the Glee Cast?

[1:09:30] Whitney: Um the bass drum was putting in the work in the beginning.

[1:09:34] Whitney: It was bang bangin'.

[1:09:36] Whitney: And then I wrote Blaine Slade because I don't think you guys have had enough Blaine fan representation lately.

[1:09:43] Allison: So that's true.

[1:09:44] Whitney: We need to talk more about Blaine.

[1:09:45] Whitney: Everyone keeps saying that like they don't like Blaine.

[1:09:47] Allison: Is that Joe and a Horse?

[1:09:48] Whitney: This is Joe look Joe Jonas looking deeply into the horse's eyes.

[1:09:53] Whitney: Insert of the Joe, the Jonas Brothers album.

[1:09:55] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:09:56] Whitney: Joe and a horse.

[1:09:57] Whitney: Much better.

[1:10:00] Whitney: That they would sing that on Blaine.

[1:10:00] Allison: Anyways.

[1:10:01] Whitney: That's a good one.

[1:10:02] Whitney: I I agree with that.

[1:10:02] Whitney: There's not enough Blaine Love on this podcast.

[1:10:08] Allison: Ever since you fell off the bandwagon.

[1:10:08] Whitney: Ever since I I drove that bandwagon for a long time.

[1:10:13] Whitney: You used to be a representation.

[1:10:13] Whitney: I crashed it in the city.

[1:10:16] Whitney: I crashed into a bridge and then I screamed and then I don't care.

[1:10:20] Whitney: And then Damon Salvatore jumped into the lake and got me out and pulled me out and saved my life.

[1:10:27] Whitney: He put his immunity ring on me.

[1:10:31] Whitney: He couldn't save the other person that was in the car.

[1:10:33] Whitney: But he couldn't.

[1:10:33] Whitney: So you like you like Darren Chris in this?

[1:10:36] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:10:37] Whitney: He's cute.

[1:10:38] Whitney: That's actually surprising.

[1:10:40] Whitney: You haven't been liking him a lot lately.

[1:10:42] Whitney: I haven't been liking him a lot, but I see myself in this performance.

[1:10:46] Whitney: I really think unfortunately, unfortunately, if I could relate most accurately to any character on Glee, I do think it would be my Marley in this character arc right here.

[1:11:04] Andrew: I don't, yeah.

[1:11:05] Whitney: My death wish is that I need everyone to hear out your show. Andrew, have I ever told you how I did use to write songs as a kid?

[1:11:15] Andrew: Um, I don't think so. What were they?

[1:11:18] Whitney: Um, I'll give you a preview of two. So one was called If Only the Lonely, and the lyrics went, um, if only the Lonely had somebody too.

[1:11:28] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[1:11:29] Whitney: Then I would have you.

[1:11:31] Andrew: That's so beautiful.

[1:11:32] Whitney: That's cool. I know. I know. Where's your record, Dylan?

[1:11:35] Andrew: And then sign me Capitol Records. I'm at your doorstep.

[1:11:39] Whitney: Um, and then my other one, I don't know what the name of it was, but it had a line that goes, I'm a damsel in distress.

[1:11:46] Andrew: Do I look good in this dress?

[1:11:49] Whitney: I would have led with that one first, because now like the other one was so much more impossible.

[1:11:53] Andrew: Oh.

[1:11:54] Whitney: When you were telling a story, I'm sitting back like the feminist movie.

[1:11:57] Andrew: Okay, yeah.

[1:11:58] Whitney: Oh, okay, okay, okay. I was thinking of Daphne.

[1:12:01] Andrew: I was channeling Daphne from Scooby-Doo.

[1:12:05] Whitney: In that one.

[1:12:05] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:12:06] Whitney: I feel like Daphne was a little bit more autonomous than that song is.

[1:12:06] Andrew: That song is okay.

[1:12:13] Whitney: Okay, no, that's fine. In your cell speech to Capitol Records, just like flipped the order of that.

[1:12:16] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:12:17] Whitney: Yeah. I'm reflecting on the deeply ingrained misogyny in my life.

[1:12:22] Andrew: I'm a damsel in distress.

[1:12:24] Whitney: Do I look good in this song?

[1:12:27] Andrew: Wow.

[1:12:27] Whitney: Yeah, I don't know. Always.

[1:12:31] Andrew: Always.

[1:12:31] Whitney: I'm, I don't know. I'm like kind of scared. This song, pulling this song.

[1:12:37] Andrew: I'm like, these all these songs are really mid, and I'm like give me a good one.

[1:12:43] Whitney: Yeah, I'm gonna do that. I need I'm getting scared because like I know that there are good songs left, and now they're gonna be a little bit more.

[1:12:50] Andrew: They just keep piling up there.

[1:12:51] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:12:52] Andrew: Yeah, I'm getting really scared on their behalf.

[1:12:54] Whitney: Anyone have a final note on All or Nothing Glee Cast version?

[1:12:58] Andrew: No.

[1:12:58] Whitney: No.

[1:12:59] Andrew: She's cute.

[1:12:59] Whitney: Empty brain.

[1:13:00] Andrew: She's cute.

[1:13:01] Whitney: She's cute. I give her a kiss.

[1:13:05] Andrew: Boring?

[1:13:06] Whitney: No.

[1:13:08] Andrew: It's another mid song.

[1:13:10] Whitney: Mid versus mid versus mid versus mid.

[1:13:12] Andrew: Wait, is this actually mid or is it just your version of mid?

[1:13:15] Whitney: Well, I think like I like it, but it's like, you know, this was this was a song that was intended to stay behind.

[1:13:24] Andrew: I think.

[1:13:25] Whitney: That's very vague. But like now it's like, oh, okay, now it has a shot.

[1:13:29] Andrew: You know?

[1:13:33] Whitney: Here we go.

[1:13:35] Andrew: God.

[1:13:36] Whitney: Oh my god.

[1:13:37] Andrew: Jesus.

[1:13:41] Whitney: It's time for us to pass.

[1:13:48] Andrew: Yeah, it's best for us to put on but I love you.

[1:13:48] Whitney: I love you.

[1:14:08] Andrew: Take care of yourself.

[1:14:29] Whitney: And no more teams to cry I'm out of good birth magical.

[1:15:34] Andrew: Oh no!

[1:15:35] Whitney: No!

[1:15:37] Andrew: Andrew, you gotta cut that out.

[1:15:39] Whitney: You could have cut that out when you were screen recording.

[1:15:41] Andrew: No!

[1:15:43] Whitney: I halfway through that performance, I was like, oh no, I remember what happens at the end of the song.

[1:15:50] Andrew: You gotta cut that out.

[1:15:51] Whitney: Made the screen go black. Like there's so many more.

[1:15:54] Andrew: Shelby and Puck kiss.

[1:15:56] Whitney: Shocked.

[1:15:57] Andrew: They shocked.

[1:15:58] Whitney: Shocked on Broadway.

[1:16:01] Andrew: Um, I was laughing because that performance was so boring that my brain was forced to entertain itself.

[1:16:09] Whitney: Stop.

[1:16:10] Andrew: And so what I did was Shelby, there's a scene where Shelby is looking at Puck, and like you can kind of see something she's doing off screen, but not really.

[1:16:21] Whitney: And so in my mind, just off screen, off camera, she's needing a bag of her breast milk.

[1:16:29] Andrew: And then that she's gonna feed to Puck.

[1:16:32] Whitney: She's gonna, they're gonna put the baby down, and she's gonna cradle Puck in her arms, and she's gonna feed this, she's gonna warm it up under a warm, warm faucet, um, and feed this warm bag of milk to him.

[1:16:47] Andrew: You think she has that much to spare?

[1:16:49] Whitney: That much titty milk?

[1:16:50] Andrew: Um, considering she didn't give birth.

[1:16:55] Whitney: Oh yeah!

[1:16:56] Andrew: I'm completely forgot about that.

[1:17:00] Whitney: She wouldn't have that.

[1:17:01] Andrew: It's just leftover from when she had Rachel.

[1:17:03] Whitney: It's just she never stopped laughing.

[1:17:07] Andrew: She was holding on to all that breast milk.

[1:17:09] Whitney: Or when she had a choice.

[1:17:10] Andrew: For 17 years.

[1:17:13] Whitney: I don't I don't know which is funnier.

[1:17:16] Andrew: Her having frozen breast milk in her freezer for 17 years.

[1:17:21] Whitney: Or her continuing to lactate for 17 years.

[1:17:28] Andrew: Oh, that's good.

[1:17:30] Whitney: Oh my god.

[1:17:33] Andrew: Anyways, take care of yourself, Glee Cast version by Glee Cast.

[1:17:37] Whitney: Um honestly, I never paid attention to this one much until I was listening to the Gleek of the Week Remaining Songs playlist, and it came on.

[1:17:45] Andrew: I was like, this is pretty good.

[1:17:47] Whitney: This is cool.

[1:17:48] Andrew: Oh I I don't mind it.

[1:17:50] Whitney: Okay.

[1:17:51] Andrew: I sh I stream.

[1:17:52] Whitney: Yeah, I would stream.

[1:17:53] Andrew: Like I wouldn't turn it off.

[1:17:55] Whitney: I like it. I think it's the best Rory solo.

[1:17:58] Andrew: And like I and I I want to convince you both.

[1:18:01] Whitney: Like, hey, I know that you really liked All or Nothing, but like Rory doesn't have a solo.

[1:18:01] Andrew: Rory doesn't have a solo to his name in the second round of the Glacket.

[1:18:10] Whitney: This is his final chance to get in there.

[1:18:13] Andrew: And um, and I think I really I would really push you both to um to vote for Take Care of Yourself over All or Nothing.

[1:18:21] Whitney: It's good. I like it.

[1:18:22] Andrew: I'm gonna steal one of Allison's bits.

[1:18:26] Whitney: Um I really see myself in this performance.

[1:18:28] Andrew: Okay.

[1:18:29] Whitney: Uh-huh. Where um I'm Rachel's proud mother smile.

[1:18:33] Andrew: The entire time.

[1:18:34] Whitney: Oh, that's really cute.

[1:18:36] Andrew: That's good.

[1:18:36] Whitney: And like annoying everybody is magical.

[1:18:39] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:18:40] Whitney: Why is this hair doobie doing that though?

[1:18:43] Andrew: What do you mean?

[1:18:44] Whitney: Like, why why we have fucking Danny Zuko performing this?

[1:18:48] Andrew: I think isn't he like I think that they dress him almost like Elvis.

[1:18:53] Whitney: Yeah, I guess that's true. Is this an Elvis song?

[1:18:56] Andrew: No.

[1:18:57] Whitney: Oh.

[1:18:57] Andrew: Has he ever he sang it?

[1:18:59] Whitney: Blue Christmas.

[1:19:00] Andrew: Blue Christmas.

[1:19:01] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:19:01] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:19:02] Whitney: I never got Elvis's bit, you know.

[1:19:05] Andrew: I never got Elvis.

[1:19:07] Whitney: I never just like got uh he's doing him, I guess, but like I never I've never been interested in Elvis.

[1:19:14] Andrew: I've never really cared.

[1:19:16] Whitney: Except for that part in Zombieland where they go to Elvis's house.

[1:19:20] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[1:19:21] Whitney: And I think they're in a room where Prince played him in pool.

[1:19:25] Andrew: Is it Prince, maybe?

[1:19:27] Whitney: But that's that's the Elvis moment that stands out.

[1:19:30] Andrew: That got you for you.

[1:19:31] Whitney: Yeah, in Zombie Land when he's Oh, I get it.

[1:19:34] Andrew: I get it now.

[1:19:35] Whitney: Yeah, oh I get it.

[1:19:37] Andrew: That's why people like Zombieland.

[1:19:38] Whitney: Zombies Zombieland.

[1:19:40] Andrew: And I like it Lilo and Stitch when Stitch puts his finger on the record and he opens his mouth and I'm not around, bro.

[1:19:48] Whitney: Wait.

[1:19:49] Andrew: Audio, audio medium, Austin Butler just joined the Zoom call and he's aggressively rolling his eye.

[1:19:55] Whitney: Austin, please.

[1:19:56] Andrew: That's my Elvis impression.

[1:19:57] Whitney: Don't do that to me.

[1:19:58] Andrew: Yours is better than mine, I guess.

[1:20:00] Whitney: A little bit, but he's jealous, you're competing with him.

[1:20:03] Andrew: I know.

[1:20:04] Whitney: I also like the Doja Cat version of dog play uh frog.

[1:20:11] Andrew: Frog.

[1:20:12] Whitney: Like, why does she say that?

[1:20:15] Andrew: Okay. Are we ready to vote?

[1:20:18] Whitney: No, I need you to see your case a little bit more.

[1:20:21] Andrew: I'm on the fence.

[1:20:22] Whitney: Oh god, because I don't feel like this is a detriment to my case, but if I want to be fully transparent about my case, I need to let you know this.

[1:20:29] Andrew: Because like you brought up Gotta Get You in My Life versus Constant Craving.

[1:20:33] Whitney: And the detriment against Constant Craving was that there was Shuck in there.

[1:20:37] Andrew: And so, like and so I'm like, oh no, we should apply that same logic to Take Care of Yourself because there's Shuck and the MP4.

[1:20:47] Whitney: And so But Shuck is not actively participating.

[1:20:50] Andrew: They're pretty active at the end of that.

[1:20:52] Whitney: They're pretty active.

[1:20:54] Andrew: I don't know if you caught it.

[1:20:55] Whitney: I mean, Shelby is feeding her breast milk to Puck, but like Shelby's not gonna be.

[1:20:59] Andrew: That's the extended cut.

[1:21:04] Whitney: Shelby's not singing about her lust for Puck, but um I don't I just love it.

[1:21:10] Andrew: I think it's good.

[1:21:11] Whitney: And I think that like he's I don't know. I just want Rory in the second round of the clack it.

[1:21:16] Andrew: He's a beautiful man and um he needs representation.

[1:21:19] Whitney: I do love you, Damian McGinty. I know you listen to every episode.

[1:21:21] Andrew: That was gorgeous, gorgeous all set out that one part.

[1:21:27] Whitney: I only heard like half of that, Allison.

[1:21:29] Andrew: Oh.

[1:21:30] Whitney: I'm voting for All or Nothing.

[1:21:34] Andrew: I'm voting for Take Care of Yourself.

[1:21:36] Whitney: Don't do this.

[1:21:36] Andrew: No, we're doing this.

[1:21:38] Whitney: No, you're the click of the week.

[1:21:40] Andrew: You're the click of the week.

[1:21:41] Whitney: You gotta make the choice.

[1:21:42] Andrew: Okay.

[1:21:43] Whitney: I hope you don't expect a decision from me in the next 10 minutes because I don't know if it'll happen.

[1:21:46] Andrew: Go ahead.

[1:21:47] Whitney: We'll just sit.

[1:21:49] Andrew: Okay, let me think.

[1:21:50] Whitney: I'll wait.

[1:21:51] Andrew: Oh audio medium, we're waiting.

[1:21:56] Whitney: Audio medium, we have a gun to my head.

[1:22:00] Andrew: I do mean him.

[1:22:01] Whitney: I sent Austin Butler and he's shaking you violently.

[1:22:06] Andrew: I kind of want to go with Take Care of Yourself.

[1:22:10] Whitney: Okay.

[1:22:11] Andrew: You kind of do.

[1:22:12] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:24:57] ♪ Musical number: "Wake Me Up" — performed by Gleekast ♪

[1:26:49] Allison: Wow. That literally gave me a headache if I'm gonna be honest. I have so much to say about this, but I want to hear what Whitney has to say about "Wake Me Up," Gleekast version.

[1:27:01] Whitney: Um, I think I only have like one note, and I was like why are there more than one Rachel? We only need one.

[1:27:06] Allison: It's true.

[1:27:08] Whitney: Why am I seeing seven Rachels?

[1:27:10] Allison: Why are there so many and why are they just like going in single file line? Like why?

[1:27:13] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:27:14] Allison: What's with all the Rachels?

[1:27:17] Andrew: The plot for the Gleeks at home, the plot of this song is that Rachel, it's the opening of an episode, and Rachel's like bored with Funny Girl. Oh, I finally got everything I wanted in this world, and I got me up when it's over Broadway. Oh, I'm bored now. I wanna do something new. Like, get fucked, Rachel Berry. This is so I have so much to say about that plot point.

[1:27:45] Whitney: So out of character, this song. Because it's making being the starring role on Broadway.

[1:27:56] Allison: Her dream role.

[1:27:58] Whitney: Her dream role. And critics are raving.

[1:28:01] Allison: Critics are raving.

[1:28:04] Whitney: Makes it monotonous and not as exciting as she wanted it to be. Like, shut up. You do eight shows a week. You know what Broadway entails. You've been obsessed with Broadway this entire time. You knew exactly what you were signing up for. This is everything you ever wanted, and it's a miracle that you got it at age. Canonically 19? Like, shut the hell up, Rachel Berry. This is everything you ever wanted. Literally, the curtain rises, you sing your favorite songs, people scream and cry and throw up because you're so amazing, and then you go home.

[1:28:36] Allison: You work for a total, a total of maybe four or five hours a day.

[1:28:44] Whitney: On a one show day.

[1:28:52] Allison: You are doing vocal warmups. You are gonna do the vocal warmups all day anyway. I could attempt to defend this plot line.

[1:29:01] Whitney: Someone's at my door. Whitney's gonna actually have to have a What do you think about this plot line, Whitney?

[1:29:09] Whitney: So there's a way I could defend it if it was written better, if there was a point in it that would make sense. So the way like I would defend it was if they had framed it, instead of her just being like, I'm bored, I don't want this, like I don't like this anymore. If they had framed it as like she went through so much trauma with losing Finn, um, and she needed that change, like she needed something new, she needed because like it wasn't maybe it wasn't like her dream anymore without Finn beside her or something. Like I could understand it if they did it that way, but they completely did not. And so it's just completely out of left field that she's like, I don't want this, I want LA, I want a show.

[1:29:48] Allison: Yeah. Well, I mean, like, I think that this would have been a plot point at one point in the series that it's like Rachel's kind of like tired of the glitz and glam of Broadway. But I think that the location of where this is direct the episode directly after her opening night. That I understand that like this entire performance is like um time continues. Like, we this this performance is like weeks, I I would I I would imagine. Um and I don't know, it's just like I I think this would have better fit in like a season six premiere or something, and where it's like, oh, she's getting tired, like, okay, that kind of makes sense. I'm kind of tired of this plot already.

[1:30:27] Whitney: So like we were just getting into it.

[1:30:32] Allison: Yeah, yeah. We we were waiting for you to do this.

[1:30:32] Whitney: It's character assassination. Her leaving and lying and manipulating her way to LA. I think it would have been made way more sense, way more sense, if her contract ended. Her contract ended, she's been doing it for nine months, her contract is over, she's going to LA now.

[1:31:00] Allison: Yeah.

[1:31:01] Whitney: I would have liked that a lot better. I think this is absolute character assassination. Rachel Berry, Rachel Barbara Berry would not do this. I still don't I will never I don't think I'll ever understand the LA TV show point at all. Dumb, dumb. Like I will never, I'll never get it.

[1:31:17] Andrew: I remember like as those episodes were airing, and Whitney, maybe you had the same thought while you were watching, that I was like, I feel as though where they were going was like, oh, Rachel's going to hit create the hit Fox show Glee and the series is going to end with like sort of like this loop.

[1:31:37] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:31:38] Andrew: And I don't know how I I don't know if that would have worked. It felt weird, especially with the Cory Monteith of it all. Um, but yeah, I don't know. I thought it was going in that direction. I was like, okay, like I'll I'll go with it. Trust it. You know, I like it's one way to end a seat like a series at least. Like that would be but no, I don't get it. I don't know.

[1:32:00] Whitney: No.

[1:32:01] Allison: No, I don't.

[1:32:02] Whitney: No me gusta.

[1:32:03] Allison: No me gusta. Um yeah. I don't know. Yeah, I I had a headache while watching that. That was one of my notes. I literally I have not watched this performance in a while. I did not know that it would cause me to have a headache. Like they literally with like Rachel walking in and then like those like fade into Rachel doing the same shot. I don't know. And the random cuts like whereas like she was mouthing the words, but then all of a sudden like it cut and she was like mouthing another lyric. I hated it.

[1:32:32] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:32:33] Allison: The song three. The MP3 itself is fine.

[1:32:38] Whitney: Mm-hmm.

[1:32:39] Allison: The MP4, no.

[1:32:40] Andrew: Okay. Final song of the episode. One that I've been waiting for. One that I've been very scared for. Um, I'll preface it by saying that in the last episode, knowing that we um we already have like the song that is like the last song that we can bring back. I was like, oh no, I'm scared for this girl then. I'm scared for her because like she, if she's against someone thing hard, then um she's in murky waters. But now I feel very confident that she's so safe. Um I think she'll win in a landslide. There you go.

[1:33:17] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:33:18] Allison: You already know the song. God damn it. It's "Cheek to Cheek."

[1:36:27] Allison: And landslide for all. This is gorgeous. Um, but I'm confused. Can I just I want to tug a lot of positive things? My one confusing part. I always I never understood because later on, and correct me if I'm wrong, without looking at a list, I'm pretty sure this is what happens in the episode. Is that Sam and Artie? Sam is like, isn't it so cool that our girlfriends are as close friends? I wish we were that close. I wish we were that close. And it's like you didn't did we watch the same performance.

[1:37:01] Whitney: I think that's so funny. So yeah, but no, because like Artie's like catching on at that point.

[1:37:05] Allison: Yeah, and he like side-eyed Sam. It's like Yeah, yeah. Whitney, what is me what are we thinking?

And I remember like hearing that one I was like, oh my god, it's gonna be so funny. Like it like Brittany. I was not expecting it to be serious because like even like comedic, yeah. Season one, they had like the funny, like, if sex was dating, we'd be dating or whatever.

[1:41:01] Andrew: And she's like, This is the Chicks version.

[1:41:06] Whitney: I think she would appreciate it.

[1:41:07] Whitney: I'd honestly be terrified to sing her version though.

[1:41:10] Andrew: Like, that's one of the things that like, yeah, try to in my Excel spreadsheet.

[1:41:14] Whitney: This is like one of the few where it's like it's not better than the original, because you can't beat Stevie Nicks.

[1:41:19] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:41:20] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:41:21] Whitney: Stevie Nicks did say in an interview, she said, on my last dying day, I will remember the day that I visited Glee.

[1:41:29] Andrew: That's captured in video.

[1:41:31] Whitney: That's true.

[1:41:32] Whitney: And I think that's really crazy to me that she'll never forget this.

[1:41:32] Andrew: She'll never forget this.

[1:41:38] Whitney: And it's because of this performance.

[1:41:40] Andrew: This is absolutely incredible.

[1:41:41] Whitney: Gwyneth Paltrow, I have a lot of things to say to you, but my number one thing is that you have a beautiful voice.

[1:41:46] Whitney: Fucking bitch.

[1:41:47] Andrew: I was gonna say if this had more Santana, it would be the winner of Mike Lacket.

[1:41:52] Whitney: Can we talk about like the Santana solo of it all in this like?

[1:41:55] Andrew: Oh, when she's singing and he uh Brittany's singing like underneath her.

[1:41:59] Whitney: Right.

[1:42:00] Andrew: And it's like, wait a gosh darn minute.

[1:42:03] Whitney: I don't remember this in the iTunes release.

[1:42:05] Andrew: Because in the iTunes release, it's fully just Gwyneth Paltrow.

[1:42:09] Whitney: We do not get the Santana of it all.

[1:42:11] Andrew: If you want Santana in, you gotta hack into the system and create it yourself.

[1:42:15] Whitney: Wow, wow, wow, wow, he's out.

[1:42:17] Andrew: Now we are sad.

[1:42:19] Whitney: Huh.

[1:42:20] Andrew: Hmm.

[1:42:24] Whitney: It's it's this is another one.

[1:42:27] Whitney: This is like I'm driving down the road, but like it's the summertime, but it's not deep in the heat of summer.

[1:42:35] Whitney: It's kind of like June, maybe early June, and I'm going on a road trip, and it's in like nowhere, Wisconsin, and the sun is going down and the windows are like a little bit cracked, like the air is coming in, you can smell like the open road and like fields and shit.

[1:42:54] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:42:55] Whitney: And um the sun is going down and we have to get to our hotel by a certain point in time.

[1:43:01] Whitney: Um but we still gotta like find food, and we're so hungry, so we have to like eat the chips and crackers that we got at Quick Trip a couple exits ago.

[1:43:13] Andrew: And when those are done, it's like, okay, what else are we gonna eat?

[1:43:16] Whitney: And we're like two miles from Cracker Barrel.

[1:43:19] Andrew: But you know what gets us through?

[1:43:21] Whitney: Is this song.

[1:43:23] Andrew: I have one cast and by Glee Cast.

[1:43:25] Whitney: One point of contention for that.

[1:43:26] Andrew: Oh, it's not a summer song, it's more of a fall song.

[1:43:29] Whitney: So it's like a Labor Day weekend.

[1:43:31] Andrew: I disagree.

[1:43:32] Whitney: It's a Labor Day weekend like trip.

[1:43:34] Whitney: This is a Memorial Day weekend trip.

[1:43:37] Whitney: This is a beginning of summer.

[1:43:40] Andrew: Like spring.

[1:43:41] Whitney: Can I be honest about this song?

[1:43:43] Whitney: I love this song.

[1:43:45] Whitney: I don't know a damn thing they're singing about yet.

[1:43:49] Whitney: Like, like I child within my heart.

[1:43:53] Whitney: I rise above.

[1:43:54] Whitney: I listen to it a lot on repeat, and I like I realized that like, oh, I don't know what they're singing about, but I'm so damn excited to live the rest of my life to figure out what "Landslide" is about.

[1:44:03] Andrew: You know what I mean?

[1:44:04] Whitney: It's bad when you do find out when you experience that heartbreak.

[1:44:08] Andrew: Yeah, I'm like, oh, one day I will know.

[1:44:10] Whitney: I'm so excited.

[1:44:12] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:44:13] Whitney: The reflection and the snow clo covered hill hills.

[1:44:16] Andrew: I'm excited to look at it at it.

[1:44:17] Whitney: Yeah, me too.

[1:44:18] Whitney: I would agree with that.

[1:44:20] Andrew: That's one way to think about it.

[1:44:21] Whitney: So wake me up.

[1:44:21] Andrew: So wake me up is bad.

[1:44:23] Whitney: Oh, was that?

[1:44:23] Andrew: I forgot that was all the other song was.

[1:44:27] Whitney: Well, let's let's remind each other to summarize.

[1:44:31] Andrew: I have listened going through to the next round of the Glacket, but all or nothing in "Wake Me Up."

[1:44:37] Whitney: Bye.

[1:44:38] Andrew: Wake me up when September ends.

[1:45:09] Whitney: Like Roblox Roblox death noise.

[1:45:23] Andrew: Like But Whitney, I do have one final question for you.

[1:45:28] Whitney: Yes.

[1:45:29] Andrew: And um this is actually something I've never told anybody else.

[1:45:29] Andrew: I've never told anybody this is just for you.

[1:45:35] Whitney: Okay.

[1:45:35] Andrew: Um that I've kind of been wondering what you think Glee would sing in the year 2023.

[1:45:41] Whitney: Um first of all, my least favorite Christmas song.

[1:45:44] Andrew: Oh yeah, what it is.

[1:45:46] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:45:46] Whitney: Um I don't know, actually.

[1:45:53] Andrew: No, say something.

[1:45:55] Whitney: Well the first thing to come to come to your mind is your least favorite Christmas song.

[1:45:59] Whitney: Somewhere we go sometimes.

[1:46:01] Andrew: It's your least favorite.

[1:46:02] Whitney: That is not a good one.

[1:46:03] Whitney: That's just what came to my head.

[1:46:04] Whitney: It's not a good Christmas song.

[1:46:05] Whitney: It's not made for Christmas.

[1:46:06] Whitney: It doesn't even mention it.

[1:46:08] Andrew: It doesn't say anything about Christmas.

[1:46:10] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:46:11] Whitney: I walked across the wait.

[1:46:13] Andrew: I walked across the yeah, it should be covered in snow.

[1:46:18] Whitney: Well, why is it empty?

[1:46:22] Andrew: It should have been lit by Christmas lights.

[1:46:23] Whitney: Maybe you would have known it even better.

[1:46:25] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[1:46:25] Whitney: Bad Christmas song.

[1:46:26] Andrew: Bad Christmas song.

[1:46:27] Whitney: Great answer, Whitney.

[1:46:28] Andrew: Thank you.

[1:46:29] Whitney: Um I have a few answers.

[1:46:34] Whitney: Of course, you know, the usual like Olivia Taylor.

[1:46:37] Whitney: But I really want one of their like musicals to be uh Heathers.

[1:46:43] Andrew: Okay.

[1:46:44] Whitney: I really like the Heathers musical.

[1:46:46] Andrew: And so Okay, so so who's Veronica?

[1:46:49] Whitney: Who's Heather Chandler, Heather McNamara?

[1:46:51] Andrew: Okay.

[1:46:52] Whitney: I I mean, I feel like the obvious answer is like they would want Rachel as Veronica, but she's not really a Veronica.

[1:46:59] Andrew: No.

[1:47:00] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:47:01] Whitney: That's like more like is that Tina?

[1:47:06] Andrew: Ooh.

[1:47:07] Whitney: No.

[1:47:09] Whitney: We we literally casted this in a previous episode.

[1:47:12] Andrew: We did.

[1:47:12] Whitney: I don't remember what you guys said at all.

[1:47:14] Whitney: They would give Veronica to Rachel, though.

[1:47:17] Andrew: She's got to be.

[1:47:17] Whitney: No, I think I said Mercedes, actually, for Veronica.

[1:47:21] Andrew: That's a take.

[1:47:21] Whitney: That is a take.

[1:47:23] Whitney: I mean, it's a take.

[1:47:25] Whitney: I don't know if it's good or bad, but it is one.

[1:47:27] Whitney: I think they would sing Heathers in this modern day and age, they would.

[1:47:30] Whitney: They would be.

[1:47:31] Whitney: Freeze your brain, 17, like, yeah, they're doing it.

[1:47:34] Andrew: Who's JD?

[1:47:35] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:47:37] Andrew: It can't be Finn, because no offense to Finn, but he can't like wail.

[1:47:42] Whitney: Jake!

[1:47:42] Andrew: No.

[1:47:43] Whitney: Jake is.

[1:47:45] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:47:45] Whitney: I'd agree.

[1:47:46] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:47:47] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:47:48] Whitney: I don't think it could be a bit that I see it.

[1:47:50] Whitney: Jesse.

[1:47:50] Andrew: Jesse would be convinced.

[1:47:52] Whitney: Oh, Jesse would be an incredible JD.

[1:47:54] Andrew: And Veronica would have to be Rachel.

[1:47:55] Whitney: Yeah.

[1:47:57] Andrew: No, it could be Mercedes and Jesse.

[1:47:59] Whitney: I'll I would stream that.

[1:48:00] Andrew: It's easy.

[1:48:01] Whitney: Maybe I would.

[1:48:03] Andrew: Test me, Ryan Murphy.

[1:48:05] Whitney: Make it, and we'll see if I watch that.

[1:48:07] Andrew: Make Heathers Glee Cast or my Glee Cast Challenge.

[1:48:10] Whitney: My other one is they would completely ruin it, but I want like an episode like all the grilled cheeses, but it's like Ethel Kane, daughter of a preacher.

[1:48:20] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:48:21] Whitney: I mean, they would do horrible, but I would really like to see it.

[1:48:25] Andrew: Is that not Lily Mae?

[1:48:27] Whitney: Wait.

[1:48:27] Whitney: Wait, uh daughter of a son of a preacher man.

[1:48:29] Andrew: Wait, what is it?

[1:48:30] Whitney: No.

[1:48:31] Whitney: Son of a preacher man is Lily Mae on Glee Project.

[1:48:34] Andrew: Is it Preacher's Daughter then?
