[0:03] ANDREW Learn: I sound better now.

[0:05] Asmaâ: Yeah, you do.

[0:06] ANDREW Learn: I can hear you.

[0:08] Asmaâ: Okay, amazing.

[0:09] ANDREW Learn: That was big time scary last week when your microphone was going on the devil.

[0:17] Asmaâ: And I wasn't even saying those words either.

[0:19] ANDREW Learn: Um, it seemed like we took a little break, but we really didn't take a break.

[0:28] Asmaâ: We didn't. We just had a little bit of backlogging and then pre-recording, and now we're back here.

[0:36] ANDREW Learn: Um, does anybody care how the glossage is made?

[0:39] Asmaâ: I don't think so.

[0:40] ANDREW Learn: No, as long as we have the glantent, that's all that matters.

[0:43] Asmaâ: Right.

[0:44] ANDREW Learn: As long as the glossage is able to be eaten.

[0:46] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[0:47] ANDREW Learn: I have the glossage. I have two things that I want to talk about with you before you have a Gloismelia.

[0:55] Asmaâ: I do.

[0:56] ANDREW Learn: Okay. My number one thing is I just watched the episode "Big Brother." And I stand by what I said about "Fighter." Because that goddamn song is so good.

[1:10] Asmaâ: He is really putting his whole blussy into that song, and it hits.

[1:17] ANDREW Learn: Like I was scrolling on my phone, and I had to put my phone down and look at it.

[1:22] Asmaâ: Oh, okay.

[1:23] ANDREW Learn: It was must-watch TV.

[1:25] Asmaâ: It was must-watch television.

[1:27] ANDREW Learn: That's how hard it hits. Um, that's so interesting that you say that because you just made um so emotional content on the TikTok.

[1:35] Asmaâ: I did.

[1:36] ANDREW Learn: I did. So I was like, okay, maybe there's a change, and yet what I'm hearing is no.

[1:42] Asmaâ: So what I really wanted, I wanted to do this TikTok trend where you swipe through the photos, and it's like me, you crank the volume, and we're listening to this song.

[1:53] ANDREW Learn: Right.

[1:54] Asmaâ: And I found a photo of Rachel singing to a microphone and Santana singing to a microphone first.

[2:03] ANDREW Learn: So I was like, okay, what song is gonna hit with the Gleeks that they both sing? And I'm like, oh, it's so emotional.

[2:09] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[2:11] ANDREW Learn: Oh, it's so emotional.

[2:13] Asmaâ: So well, I mean, they all hit besides "I Kissed a Girl."

[2:17] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[2:17] Asmaâ: We don't speak about that.

[2:19] ANDREW Learn: The meme came first, and then the so emotional of it all came second.

[2:25] Asmaâ: Uh-huh.

[2:25] ANDREW Learn: Um, okay. So your love for "So Emotional" is not as evident.

[2:31] Asmaâ: It's only skin deep, you know.

[2:33] ANDREW Learn: Okay. Wait, but you can admit that "So Emotional" does.

[2:37] Asmaâ: It's good. It just, it's just "Fighter" just slays, man.

[2:41] ANDREW Learn: He is screaming when you scream into the TVs behind him.

[2:45] Asmaâ: Mm-hmm.

[2:46] ANDREW Learn: But would you even say, like, is it even like a top 10 blow?

[2:49] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[2:50] ANDREW Learn: Top five?

[2:51] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[2:52] ANDREW Learn: Top three.

[2:53] Asmaâ: No.

[2:54] ANDREW Learn: Not top three. Top three is like, it's time to begin somewhere only we go sometimes.

[3:00] Asmaâ: Um, you love "Fighter" for its time.

[3:04] ANDREW Learn: We have yet to pull it in.

[3:05] Asmaâ: We have yet to pull that. I really that was one of my top songs of 2021.

[3:10] ANDREW Learn: "Gleek House" version by Glee Cast?

[3:11] Asmaâ: Glee Cast version by Glee Cast, and I think I'm gonna put it on my show playlist for before bird shows.

[3:17] ANDREW Learn: I'm gonna play it.

[3:18] Asmaâ: Oh, because it's time to begin the bird show.

[3:20] ANDREW Learn: It's time to begin the bird show.

[3:22] Asmaâ: Uh-huh. Oh, I do have um a gripe with your um Gleek of the Week Remaining Songs playlist.

[3:28] ANDREW Learn: I was listening to it. I have been listening to it, and um, it is like really we have a lot of really fun songs left.

[3:37] Asmaâ: Um, including "Let's Have a Kiki," "Turkey Lurky."

[3:40] ANDREW Learn: "Turkey Lurky Time."

[3:41] Asmaâ: But I don't have the "Turkey Lurky Time" part on there.

[3:44] ANDREW Learn: You don't have the "Turkey Lurky Time" on there.

[3:46] Asmaâ: I just, what's going on?

[3:48] ANDREW Learn: I think I went, I made this playlist really quickly.

[3:53] Asmaâ: The original.

[3:54] ANDREW Learn: So when you, I think when you search "G O T W Remaining Songs" playlist, up comes the Gleek of the Week one and up comes mine.

[4:05] Asmaâ: Because my playlist went from zero likes to 12 likes ever since I posted it, but I posted the Gleek of the Week version.

[4:12] ANDREW Learn: So I think people were just searching for it on Spotify and they found mine.

[4:16] Asmaâ: Which is embarrassing because I specifically didn't want to do that because I don't want people to see my personal music tastes and all of the Naked Brothers Band that I listened to.

[4:24] ANDREW Learn: Anyways.

[4:24] Asmaâ: And yet now they have access.

[4:25] ANDREW Learn: And yet now they have access. I have a fucking Glee podcast, nothing is hidden anymore.

[4:30] Asmaâ: Um, so when I'm, I made this playlist rather quickly, and a mistake that I made was I chose "Oh Home Amiga Home," a song we famously have already pulled instead of "I Wanna Go Home," the Michael Bublé cover from Rory.

[4:50] ANDREW Learn: Yes.

[4:51] Asmaâ: Uh, so I had to change that for the Gleek of the Week version. And I guess I don't have um "Let's Have a Kiki," "Turkey Lurky Time" on there. I just have "Let's."

[5:00] ANDREW Learn: Because I was waiting, I was like doing the dishes today, like listening to it, and I was like, wait, wait, where the fuck is it?

[5:08] Asmaâ: I also have only Rachel's version of "Bring Him Home" on there because I just, I only need one "Bring Him Home."

[5:16] ANDREW Learn: Which is so weird. I don't know why they do this with the Kurt-Rachel duets that they exclusively for a lot of them, not all, but like exclusively just like release them as solos.

[5:27] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[5:27] ANDREW Learn: For what?

[5:28] Asmaâ: For what?

[5:29] ANDREW Learn: Just to see like who would do better in iTunes. Why isn't there an "Out Here on My Own" Mercedes version, "Out Here on My Own" Rachel's version?

[5:37] Asmaâ: I think like someone, someone released that like a year after the series finale. Someone, I don't know who this was, but was doing like Glee's work, and they released the solo version of "Out Here on My Own" and Rachel and Mercedes, as well as "New York State of Mind," Marley and Rachel.

[5:56] ANDREW Learn: Oh.

[5:57] Asmaâ: So we do have that, just not on iTunes.

[5:59] ANDREW Learn: Okay, okay.

[6:00] Asmaâ: So yeah.

[6:03] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, so I'm sorry. I just don't have "Turkey Lurkey Time" on there.

[6:07] Asmaâ: I think I just want an apology.

[6:09] ANDREW Learn: I'm sorry.

[6:09] Asmaâ: Um, when I look it up on Spotify, that's the first thing that comes up.

[6:13] ANDREW Learn: There's like—

[6:13] Asmaâ: Which it, I don't understand why they did that.

[6:17] ANDREW Learn: Where they were like, we'll give you it without this one pivotal part.

[6:24] Asmaâ: This is the most important part of Glee.

[6:26] ANDREW Learn: So we're taking it away from you.

[6:30] Asmaâ: It's simply just a kiki.

[6:32] ANDREW Learn: It's not even the time is not relevant.

[6:34] Asmaâ: It doesn't matter when you have the kiki.

[6:36] ANDREW Learn: Um, and then the second thing I wanted to talk about is I go through a semi-annual binge of all of the like 2014 to 2016 dystopian movies.

[6:50] Asmaâ: I watch all of the Hunger Games, all of the Divergent movies, all of the Maze Runner movies, and fuck it, I might watch all of Harry Potter, even though that's not dystopia, and I might watch all the Twilight movies.

[7:02] ANDREW Learn: Um, just because I mentally I need that comfort movies like that.

[7:10] Asmaâ: Um, that I've seen so many times. And what I wanted to ask you, did you ever watch or read Divergent?

[7:18] ANDREW Learn: No.

[7:19] Asmaâ: Okay.

[7:20] ANDREW Learn: Damn.

[7:22] Asmaâ: I watched the first Maze Runner.

[7:25] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[7:26] Asmaâ: So with Dylan O'Brien. Did you watch the Hunger Games?

[7:29] ANDREW Learn: I watched all but the last Hunger Games.

[7:32] Asmaâ: I think that like part two. What was it? Like part one and two.

[7:37] ANDREW Learn: No, I watched part one, and I remember like being mad sleepy during part one. And that was like, I don't actually want to go back for part two.

[7:45] Asmaâ: Okay. That's fine.

[7:47] ANDREW Learn: It's nothing fucking happens in Mockingjay. Like, literally, the whole part one is just they're like, Katniss, you, District 12 is not real anymore.

[7:59] Asmaâ: Um, we're gonna be doing these like promo videos with you.

[8:03] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[8:04] Asmaâ: For whatever reason. I remember like Julianne Moore was there, and like um Elizabeth Banks like took off all of her like makeup and all of her garb, and I remember just that.

[8:15] ANDREW Learn: And they were like underground.

[8:16] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[8:17] ANDREW Learn: Like, are you coming to the tree?

[8:19] Asmaâ: Yeah, are you coming to the tree?

[8:22] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[8:22] Asmaâ: Which has like a Marley original song written all over it.

[8:26] ANDREW Learn: Oh, yeah, for sure.

[8:27] Asmaâ: Um, that happens. And then in part two, I don't like Katniss Everdeen because things just fucking happen to Katniss.

[8:36] ANDREW Learn: Like, she's not Tris from Divergent is going out there and beating shit up and like ruining like collapsing society for the better of humankind.

[8:47] Asmaâ: And Katniss is just like, I don't know if I love Peeta or Gale or not. And things are happening to me and I'm gonna do it.

[8:53] ANDREW Learn: No, she's getting more than that.

[8:55] Asmaâ: I recall, I recall her doing a bit more than that.

[8:58] ANDREW Learn: No, I just, I just watched these movies, baby. Mockingjay, there's no fucking action in that. Like the, how about the first two? I remember really liking it.

[9:09] Asmaâ: Hunger Games, Catching Fire is very, very good.

[9:12] ANDREW Learn: But Mockingjay becomes she's a pawn in a game that she doesn't even, she's not even aware of. And like I need both hands to count how many times there's action, and then Katniss gets injured and she blacks out and she wakes up in a hospital.

[9:30] Asmaâ: Like that's, and people are like, oh yeah, this is what happened, Katniss.

[9:35] ANDREW Learn: Like people are explaining what happened and let me catch you up.

[9:38] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[9:39] ANDREW Learn: So what I wanted to say is I love Divergent, and I just started watching the Divergent movies, and that my favorite books of all time. I won't even get into it.

[9:48] Asmaâ: Okay, brave.

[9:50] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[9:51] Asmaâ: Relevant for a different, for my Divergent podcast that I'll start.

[9:55] ANDREW Learn: Um, what I wanted to do is I wanted to take a Divergent quiz, but as if we were a Glee character.

[10:04] Asmaâ: Oh, okay.

[10:05] ANDREW Learn: I was waiting for the Glee spin of it all. What Divergent faction do you actually belong in?

[10:11] Asmaâ: So the different factions are there's Dauntless, who values bravery, there's Amity who values kindness and giving. There's Abnegation that values selflessness, there's Erudite that values knowledge, and then there's Candor that values honesty.

[10:31] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[10:31] Asmaâ: And then if you're Divergent, you're kind of spread out among a couple of them.

[10:36] ANDREW Learn: Oh, okay.

[10:37] Asmaâ: So I kind of want to answer these Buzzfeed questions as a character.

[10:43] ANDREW Learn: It is completely up to you.

[10:45] Asmaâ: I want you to be the character and I'll read the questions.

[10:48] ANDREW Learn: Okay, shai reveal which character I'm playing as?

[10:51] Asmaâ: Yes. What character are you gonna play as?

[10:53] ANDREW Learn: Um, I'm gonna be playing as Lucy Quinn Fabre.

[10:55] Asmaâ: Lucy Quinn Fabre. Okay. What color do you wear most?

[11:01] ANDREW Learn: Black, red, white, blue, gray, or whatever's cheapest?

[11:08] Asmaâ: Uh, well, red, because a Cheerios.

[11:12] ANDREW Learn: It's true. I really love these playing with you because all of these are like obvious.

[11:18] Asmaâ: Like this one's Dauntless, this one's—

[11:18] ANDREW Learn: Pick a phone app.

[11:23] Asmaâ: Text, Instagram, Google, Facebook, Quiz Up, or Weather.

[11:32] ANDREW Learn: She doobie texting and driving.

[11:34] Asmaâ: She doobie text, she just texted and drove in the episode previous to what I watched.

[11:39] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[11:39] Asmaâ: Um, oh fuck, pick an emoji, but all of the images are not available anymore.

[11:45] ANDREW Learn: Okay, great.

[11:46] Asmaâ: So wait, are they really none of them? Do you want me to share my screen?

[11:49] ANDREW Learn: Is this that before?

[11:50] Asmaâ: Yeah, wait, wait, let me see.

[11:53] ANDREW Learn: Okay, go ahead.

[11:57] Asmaâ: Oh, they're all, the images are no longer available.

[12:00] ANDREW Learn: Exactly. Which emoji you want?

[12:03] Asmaâ: Uh ooh, I'm gonna say, hmm.

[12:09] ANDREW Learn: Three, because that's when she graduated.

[12:12] Asmaâ: Okay.

[12:12] ANDREW Learn: Second three.

[12:13] Asmaâ: Okay, okay. I like that thought process. What do you value most?

[12:17] ANDREW Learn: Selflessness, kindness, revenge, honesty, bravery, or intelligence.

[12:24] Asmaâ: Um, I'm gonna say, hmm. Probably revenge, right?

[12:31] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, there's nothing she does better than revenge.

[12:33] Asmaâ: That's true. What's your sin? What's your sin?

[12:36] ANDREW Learn: Gluttony, pride, sloth, envy, greed, or wrath.

[12:44] Asmaâ: Ooh, I'm like between like a few. Pride, envy, and wrath.

[12:52] ANDREW Learn: Probably pride.

[12:55] Asmaâ: She takes a lot of pride in herself.

[12:57] ANDREW Learn: She does. Um, pick a TV show. Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Law and Order, I don't watch TV, Revenge, or Girls.

[13:08] Asmaâ: Um, what would Quinn Fabre be watching?

[13:12] ANDREW Learn: I don't want to give this answer again, but Revenge.

[13:18] Asmaâ: That seems like a smart show that she probably watches.

[13:21] ANDREW Learn: Probably. Um, what are you guilty of?

[13:30] Asmaâ: Telling lies to make people feel better, being blunt, acting before thinking, spending more time at your job than with friends, quitting too easily, or putting others' needs before yours.

[13:44] ANDREW Learn: Hmm. Probably being blunt, right?

[13:50] Asmaâ: Would you agree?

[13:50] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I would agree with that, yeah.

[13:52] Asmaâ: Okay. Out of all of them. What's your dream job?

[13:56] ANDREW Learn: Lawyer, I just want a job, volunteer work, doctor, police officer, or astronaut?

[14:04] Asmaâ: Quinn's canonical dream job is real estate agent, even though she's going to Yale, which I don't.

[14:12] ANDREW Learn: Listen, if you're going to Yale and you want to become a real estate agent, more power to you. However, I'm gonna say lawyer because a real estate agent's not here.

[14:20] Asmaâ: Yep.

[14:20] ANDREW Learn: Pick your poison beer, water, wine, tea, shots, or coffee.

[14:27] Asmaâ: Uh I was drunk off wine coolers.

[14:30] ANDREW Learn: Oh, yep, you got it.

[14:32] Asmaâ: And I felt fat that day.

[14:33] ANDREW Learn: Yep.

[14:34] Asmaâ: Pick a superpower.

[14:35] ANDREW Learn: Shape-shifting, influencing minds, super strength, teleportation, healing powers, or reading minds.

[14:44] Asmaâ: Uh, probably influencing minds.

[14:47] ANDREW Learn: Mm-hmm. I would say so.

[14:48] Asmaâ: Is that Kate Winslet?

[14:50] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, Kate Winslet is in Divergent.

[14:52] Asmaâ: Oh, wow.

[14:53] ANDREW Learn: Okay. Uh pick a phrase you say the most.

[14:57] Asmaâ: You look so nice.

[14:59] ANDREW Learn: I dare you.

[15:00] Asmaâ: I knew that.

[15:01] ANDREW Learn: I know you're lying.

[15:03] Asmaâ: Can you help me?

[15:04] ANDREW Learn: Need help.

[15:06] Asmaâ: Oh, probably I know you're lying.

[15:09] ANDREW Learn: Okay. Let's see. This is the final question.

[15:12] Asmaâ: Okay.

[15:14] ANDREW Learn: Quinn is a Candor.

[15:16] Asmaâ: Candor is the faction dedicated to honesty and trust, believing that honesty and openness is the key to a more peaceful society. They believe in fairness and are always seeking the truth, a trait that makes them brutally blunt and able to read body language to detect lies.

[15:30] ANDREW Learn: Their attire consists of black and white, and their substance in the choosing ceremony is glass.

[15:36] Asmaâ: Okay. I would agree.

[15:37] ANDREW Learn: Well I mean, knowing Candor more than I would.

[15:41] Asmaâ: I would agree with that.

[15:42] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. I would put I would definitely put her in Candor.

[15:46] Asmaâ: I would put Santana in Dauntless. I would put Brittany in Amity.

[15:51] ANDREW Learn: I would put—who else is in Candor with Quinn?

[15:53] Asmaâ: I think Rachel is in Candor with Quinn.

[15:56] ANDREW Learn: Okay, Faberry.

[15:57] Asmaâ: Yeah, Faberry.

[15:58] ANDREW Learn: What, watching season three? I'm like, how the fuck didn't Faberry stand sob every fucking day?

[16:06] Asmaâ: Like Ooh, Big Brother, big big moment for Faberry fans.

[16:10] ANDREW Learn: Big Faberry!

[16:11] Asmaâ: Like the beginning of the episode, Rachel's just like, I'm just thinking about Quinn.

[16:16] ANDREW Learn: I'm just like, wait, did you—oh wait, I have to ask, did you watch like On My Way back to back with Big Brother?

[16:22] Asmaâ: I had a big break.

[16:23] ANDREW Learn: There was a big break.

[16:24] Asmaâ: Okay. You needed a moment.

[16:25] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I was like, I'm gonna simulate the midseason finale.

[16:29] Asmaâ: It's whiplash.

[16:31] ANDREW Learn: It feels a disservice.

[16:35] Asmaâ: It feels very weird. Like they have to wrap up the wedding shit in the first line.

[16:42] ANDREW Learn: Like or explain the wedding shit in the first line.

[16:45] Asmaâ: Right, right, right.

[16:46] ANDREW Learn: Mm-hmm. Um I do have a Gloy's mail.

[16:50] Asmaâ: Okay.

[16:50] ANDREW Learn: Uh I do want to hear your thoughts about it.

[16:53] Asmaâ: Okay.

[16:53] ANDREW Learn: It's from previous Gleek of the Week.

[16:56] Asmaâ: Amelia.

[16:58] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[17:01] Asmaâ: I'm okay.

[17:02] ANDREW Learn: I didn't. But you saying, like, don't tease me with you saying you're gonna—this is Amelia, by the way, I hope you could tell.

[17:09] Asmaâ: Um, I—Daniel's ring back I still believe Super Bass over the thought. That would make me the happiest person on the planet.

[17:17] ANDREW Learn: And if you don't do that, yeah, and that's fine. I'll survive. But I would just like to let you know that I support that plan.

[17:26] Asmaâ: And Allison, it's fine. Like, you can admit that you like I still believe Super Bass more than the thought, and like the world would be okay.

[17:34] ANDREW Learn: Thank you so much. So much going on here, Amelia. I love hearing the car beeping noises.

[17:42] Asmaâ: I love that you're backing up while you're leaving a Gloy's mail.

[17:42] ANDREW Learn: Exactly.

[17:46] Asmaâ: Um also you start the Gloy's mail with I almost just got in a fucking car accident, which is the second time that people have gotten into a car accident while leaving a Gloy's mail, which is weird that we're gonna—please do not do that.

[18:02] ANDREW Learn: We cannot be liable.

[18:06] Asmaâ: Um but uh Amelia leading the charge on uh this the Fox I still believe Super Bass um conversation. I uh added to it a few weeks ago saying that potentially we could do a trade-off and send What Does the Fox Say away in exchange for I Still Believe Super Bass.

[18:31] ANDREW Learn: Um what are your thoughts on it?

[18:33] Asmaâ: My thoughts are we are—we have been so gray on the rules recently.

[18:39] ANDREW Learn: You have been really—that's why I wanted to bring it up because I'm like, I don't know if I actually want to be gray.

[18:44] Asmaâ: Because you brought back so emotional, and I didn't say anything. We watched a second performance a second time.

[18:52] ANDREW Learn: For you.

[18:53] Asmaâ: For me. That was your idea.

[18:54] ANDREW Learn: So we're a little bit like even-keeled right now, right?

[18:59] Asmaâ: Um so I think—I don't know. My thing is that we were not the only ones a part of those conversations surrounding the Fox and surrounding I Still Believe, and I wouldn't want to pit Gleek versus Gleek. I wouldn't want to do that to Michael Olivier.

[19:18] ANDREW Learn: That's a decision that we made in the past.

[19:22] Asmaâ: Yeah. I mean, I just watched I Still Believe, I believe—wait, no, I didn't. I watched Fly, I believe I can fly.

[19:32] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I'm not sure.

[19:32] Asmaâ: Mickey Minaj mashups. Um, I don't—I don't know. I don't want to do that.

[19:39] ANDREW Learn: You do not want to do that.

[19:40] Asmaâ: I do not want to do that. Should we—should we leave it to a vote or should we just cut it right now?

[19:46] ANDREW Learn: Nip it in the bud, s knock it off, Amelia.

[19:50] Asmaâ: I don't know. I think it's making the rules so so gray. And who is to say, if we do that, who's to say, well, you sent this home and it shouldn't have, bring this back now. Like this is the first—I want the first round to be done.

[20:07] ANDREW Learn: And guess what? In a matter of like a month, a month and like a few months, we'll be done.

[20:08] Asmaâ: We'll be done.

[20:15] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. So I kind of want to just get out of here scot-free and not make it wishy-washy. We had some strict rules, episode one, and I want to adhere to those as much as possible.

[20:28] Asmaâ: Okay. I'm glad that we're having this town hall meeting.

[20:30] ANDREW Learn: Um between the two of us. I will say that there have been a number of people who have DM'd us.

[20:36] Asmaâ: Yes.

[20:36] ANDREW Learn: Um in support of this idea of doing like a little trade-off between parties, and um, you know what? I respect your opinion.

[20:48] Asmaâ: Thank you.

[20:50] ANDREW Learn: As someone that votes in every single decision, yeah, you should have a say. This is a democracy, but not really, because you and I are the only people here.

[21:01] Asmaâ: That's true.

[21:02] ANDREW Learn: Yep. Well, for another few minutes and then—

[21:04] Asmaâ: For another few minutes until our Gleek of the Week gets here, but um, okay. So we will not be leaving it up to—this is it, Amelia. I still believe Super Bass is staying in the past.

[21:17] ANDREW Learn: I'm so sorry. And What Does the Fox Say is seeing the limelight of the second and third and fourth and fifth round.

[21:25] Asmaâ: Well, okay. Why wouldn't we? What were those two songs against?

[21:31] ANDREW Learn: Um, I Still Believe Super Bass was against A House is Not a Home, One Less Bell to Answer, and What Does the Fox Say was famously against Against All Odds.

[21:42] Asmaâ: So would people want us to flip Against All Odds?

[21:45] ANDREW Learn: A House is Not a Home.

[21:49] Asmaâ: Wait, what would that accompany?

[21:50] ANDREW Learn: Oh, have those two against each other?

[21:53] Asmaâ: The randomness, the cup is random.

[21:56] ANDREW Learn: We are simply victims of the cup, okay?

[22:01] Asmaâ: We are victims of the cup.

[22:03] ANDREW Learn: Randomness is not always fun for everyone. Super Bass, I Still Believe is staying behind.

[22:11] Asmaâ: Okay. Good cup, bad cup.

[22:16] ANDREW Learn: Oh, wait, no, wait, we need to decide what songs we're gonna sing.

[22:20] Asmaâ: Did you already stop?

[22:21] ANDREW Learn: No, I didn't.

[22:22] Asmaâ: Okay. I know what song I have.

[22:26] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[22:27] Asmaâ: Okay. Three, two, one.

[22:32] ANDREW Learn: Why does Jesus look just like a white guy?

[22:39] Asmaâ: Two kind of religious songs. Interesting.

[22:43] ANDREW Learn: Oh.

[22:44] Asmaâ: I said Jesus, and you sang one, so one.

[22:49] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. No one is having a conversation about one, and I want to be the first to do that.

[22:54] Asmaâ: I do too. I do like U2, and it's a very good song. I have a lot to say about that song, so maybe we'll pull it today.

[23:01] ANDREW Learn: Maybe we'll pull it and shake shake in my head.

[23:04] Asmaâ: Maybe against each other. Who the heck knows? Probably not, because we already said it. Anyway. Bye.

[23:09] ANDREW Learn: We are back with another glistener of the podcast. Asmaâ, how are you?

[23:13] Asmaâ: I'm really excited. I'm really nervous.

[23:17] ANDREW Learn: We're so excited to talk to you as well. Asmaâ, talk us through your—the first question we always ask: your relationship with this um giant phenomenon that was Glee.

[23:30] Asmaâ: Yes. Okay. So uh I might be looking over here because I have all my notes over there. Um essentially, like when Glee came out, it was like 2009, right? I was nine. So I was—oh yeah, I was aware of it, but I didn't really watch it then. I mean, when in 2008, when uh in 2010 when it um got translated into French, that's when I started it. I started like uh the first season, the first few episodes, and I was like, this is good, but I feel too young for it, so I did not watch it then, but I was like aware of it. I was like Glee self-awareness.

[24:03] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I was like, I know this Glee thing, I know like when I saw the actors, I could like tell who they were and stuff like that. Uh like I remember when Corey died, because the first time when like a young person died for me, and I was like, oh okay, I know all these people. Um and like things like I played the cello, so like the um the version of um uh you know the song with Smooth Criminal.

[24:26] Asmaâ: Yeah, that's—I knew that.

[24:29] ANDREW Learn: Nice.

[24:30] Asmaâ: Yeah. So I knew that, and stuff like the Flash musical episode and other stuff like that.

[24:35] ANDREW Learn: Right.

[24:36] Asmaâ: I was like, I knew a lot about Glee, but I really started it like in 2020 when like it was a pandemic and everybody was talking about it and stuff like that. And I was like really looking for a musical show. I had like just rewatched Victoria's for the 20th time, and I was like, okay, I think it's amazing. It's time for me to watch Glee. And I watched Glee and it's all been downhill from there.

[24:56] ANDREW Learn: No, you've been like a loyal glistener. Um just like constantly campaigning for people to come on the podcast. It's insane. Wait, tell us a little bit like who has been like your main person that you've been striving to uh to join us like on the podcast.

[25:14] Asmaâ: Initially it was like Trin, and when Trin happened, I was like so happy.

[25:18] ANDREW Learn: You were pivotal in getting Trin on.

[25:19] Asmaâ: Yeah. I was like really excited. So I was like, okay, my next target is Kurt Mega, and right now it's Kurt Mega, and now it's personal. Like initially it was like fun, but now it's personal. Kurt Mega will be on the podcast, whether he wants it or not.

[25:34] ANDREW Learn: I—I don't care. It's like it was like a joke. I was like, okay, Kurt Mega would be so fun and stuff, but like Kurt Mega, do it.

[25:43] Asmaâ: Right. Because he tweets about like he almost tweets about Glee every other tweet.

[25:47] ANDREW Learn: And it's like okay.

[25:49] Asmaâ: It's about time. You just posted a story with like his tweet about like Glee like today. I was like, Kurt Mega, you know about this.

[25:54] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[25:57] Asmaâ: You're seeing our messages, just respond. Kurt Mega, what are you doing?

[26:02] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I mean, I know he's working right now, he just got cast in like the next Star Kid production and stuff. But I'm like Kurt Mega, do it. But I have a lot of like people I want on the pod, and like we can get on this later, but I have a lot of list of people. I have a list of these things.

[26:16] Asmaâ: Um speaking of the podcast, what have been some of your hot takes about competitions that have transpired in the over I guess almost a hundred episodes now?

[26:28] ANDREW Learn: Okay, well, uh so I'm I'm not like—sorry, um I'm not like super um intense about competitions because I'm like I get it, everybody has different say. So I'm like never mad at you guys for like whatever you're doing. Like I'm like, I get it. But like I have to say, like my my my number one song in all of Glee. Well no, it's Smooth Criminal, but like my number one song that I listen to all all the time is Uptown Girl.

[26:53] Asmaâ: And like yeah, like I don't know, I I don't know why. It just Kurt Mega.

[26:57] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[26:58] Asmaâ: In trans episode.

[27:00] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I know. Exactly. But when it happened, like I as soon as like the—it was the Britney thing, I was like, okay, it's not winning. But I was like, it's fine. But it's like I don't know what it is about that song, but it's just like it's Kurt Mega. It's like Sebastian's voice when he's like, nah, cheese my. I'm just like, I don't like—I—I don't know, something about this. I'm just like injected into my veins or something.

[27:24] ANDREW Learn: I literally—it's just a scratch on your brain.

[27:27] Asmaâ: I don't know why. It's like when it didn't go through, I was like, it's fine, I'm not mad. Um there's a few songs that I like that didn't go through that again. I just—they're my fave, so it's fine. Like, Blame It on the Alcohol. I was like, it's against Run, Joan, Run. That's also my favorite song. So like I—coming back though.

[27:42] ANDREW Learn: Oh yeah, it's coming back.

[27:43] Asmaâ: Okay, cool, cool, cool. Like, since it was against your Run, Ruder, it's fine. Um I like um oh, Glad You Came, uh Stan, Copacabana, which I know is like really random, but I just—I just really like it.

[27:59] ANDREW Learn: Right.

[28:00] Asmaâ: I don't know why.

[28:00] ANDREW Learn: We're a fan alone.

[28:01] Asmaâ: You're a fan of exactly. I was like, I think it's like I really like storyline songs, and like that's one of them. It's just cool, Copacabana. Um Jesse's Girl, which I think I—the fact that they named a character Jesse just to have that girl that sh—that song on is like hilarious.

[28:19] ANDREW Learn: So it's right there.

[28:20] Asmaâ: It's also coming back.

[28:21] ANDREW Learn: Oh, okay.

[28:22] Asmaâ: Also coming back.

[28:23] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[28:23] Asmaâ: Thank God.

[28:24] ANDREW Learn: Uh uh Being Green, which I know is like a it's not, it's I just like it being green.

[28:30] Asmaâ: Um America, I'm shocked none of the versions went through. It's like it's America, but it's fine.

[28:33] ANDREW Learn: It's fine.

[28:37] Asmaâ: Wait, you stand both Americans?

[28:39] ANDREW Learn: I stand the season three one, but like I thought if even uh maybe the season five one's gonna go, but it didn't go through either.

[28:44] Asmaâ: I was like, that's weird.

[28:46] ANDREW Learn: But it's fine.

[28:47] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[28:47] ANDREW Learn: It's fine.

[28:48] Asmaâ: Wait, what would oh season three America was against Here Comes the Sun.

[28:52] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, yeah.

[28:53] Asmaâ: Yeah, dude and dude.

[28:54] ANDREW Learn: I was listening and I was like, okay, well, sure. I guess this is I guess it's my culture.

[28:59] Asmaâ: It's not for the other people. I guess it's for me.

[29:03] ANDREW Learn: Uh and like uh Boy Next Door, but even I wouldn't have voted for it against whatever it was against.

[29:09] Asmaâ: It was bad romance, and I was like, yeah, it's fine. I even I wouldn't have said it, but I like it.

[29:14] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, yeah.

[29:15] Asmaâ: Uh and the one that like it hurts me a bit is like sing the chorus line version, the Mike Chang and Tina one.

[29:21] ANDREW Learn: That kind of hurt me, but it's fine.

[29:24] Asmaâ: Wait, I don't that was against staying alive.

[29:27] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I think so, yeah.

[29:28] Asmaâ: And it didn't go through, but I was like, it's it's okay.

[29:31] ANDREW Learn: It's just the only Mike Chang song, but whatever.

[29:34] Asmaâ: Although there's two going through cool.

[29:36] ANDREW Learn: It's cool.

[29:37] Asmaâ: Cool, cool went through that.

[29:39] ANDREW Learn: Uh but you know, like there are songs that I went that I like that went through, like uh Smooth Criminal, um River Deep Mind Mountain High, Drunger and Rhyme, Bust Your Windows, Thriller, Valerie, Getting Married Today, uh Pretty Young Uh Yeah, PYT, Bills Bills, Bells, stuff like that.

[29:57] Asmaâ: Sway.

[29:58] ANDREW Learn: I which I agree with Allison, it's a really good song.

[30:01] Asmaâ: It is.

[30:01] ANDREW Learn: It's a good Wolo.

[30:03] Asmaâ: Like for what?

[30:04] ANDREW Learn: Wait.

[30:04] Asmaâ: Are you saying that it's better than My Life Would Suck Without You?

[30:07] ANDREW Learn: Um Are you co-signing that?

[30:09] Asmaâ: Yes.

[30:11] ANDREW Learn: Wow.

[30:12] Asmaâ: I think so.

[30:13] ANDREW Learn: Yes.

[30:14] Asmaâ: Thank you, Asma.

[30:16] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[30:18] Asmaâ: Animal Whistle.

[30:19] ANDREW Learn: Anything Goes.

[30:20] Asmaâ: I'm so glad that went through.

[30:21] ANDREW Learn: That was that's really good.

[30:22] Asmaâ: I think I think I didn't like anything goes before.

[30:24] ANDREW Learn: And then I started listening to it after the podcast, and I really liked it.

[30:29] Asmaâ: No, it's a complete slay.

[30:32] ANDREW Learn: That's incredible.

[30:33] Asmaâ: Amazing.

[30:33] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[30:33] Asmaâ: And there's a few songs that I want to go through.

[30:36] ANDREW Learn: Uh help, you know, the I really like it for some reason.

[30:40] Asmaâ: I don't know why.

[30:41] ANDREW Learn: Um misery.

[30:43] Asmaâ: When I get uh When I Get You Alone.

[30:48] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[30:48] Asmaâ: Another blow up.

[30:49] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[30:49] Asmaâ: I think it's it's not even Blowlo, it's like um it's warbler songs.

[30:53] ANDREW Learn: I really like Warbler.

[30:55] Asmaâ: Warbler.

[30:55] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[30:56] Asmaâ: Okay.

[30:57] ANDREW Learn: They just happen to be Blows.

[31:00] Asmaâ: Uh Pretty Unpretty, make 'em laugh.

[31:03] ANDREW Learn: And I make 'em laugh.

[31:05] Asmaâ: Wait a minute.

[31:07] ANDREW Learn: Wait a second.

[31:09] Asmaâ: I really like singing in the rain.

[31:10] ANDREW Learn: And you know, sometimes sometimes Will Schuster can have rights.

[31:14] Asmaâ: Sometimes.

[31:16] ANDREW Learn: Occasionally.

[31:17] Asmaâ: Occasionally.

[31:18] ANDREW Learn: There are special days of the year where Will Schuster is allowed outside.

[31:22] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[31:23] ANDREW Learn: Maybe we'll pull that today with you, and then you can explain to us exactly what's in the fabric of this song.

[31:28] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[31:29] ANDREW Learn: But the one that I really, really, really hope we will today is Let's Cavaky, because I need it to go through.

[31:34] Asmaâ: Yep.

[31:35] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I really need it to go through.

[31:36] Asmaâ: Yeah, I'm scared.

[31:37] ANDREW Learn: I there's so many good songs left in the world.

[31:39] Asmaâ: It is turkey lurky time.

[31:40] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, but it's turkey lurky time.

[31:42] Asmaâ: I'm terrified that the song was is not gonna go through because people hate it, but it needs to go through.

[31:48] ANDREW Learn: Let's have a kiki.

[31:49] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[31:49] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[31:50] Asmaâ: Yeah, no, it needs to.

[31:51] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[31:51] Asmaâ: No, it needs to. Just for the iconicness of it.

[31:54] ANDREW Learn: Like, I don't know if it's a third round song.

[31:56] Asmaâ: Maybe not.

[31:58] ANDREW Learn: But it's a second round.

[31:59] Asmaâ: Yeah, yeah, it definitely is.

[32:00] ANDREW Learn: I don't want to tell where my vote lies anywhere.

[32:03] Asmaâ: Cause maybe it's let's have a kiki turkey lurky time versus somewhere we go sometimes.

[32:07] ANDREW Learn: And that's a decision I'll have to make.

[32:11] Asmaâ: Eventually.

[32:12] ANDREW Learn: And you're like, we all have to make that choice.

[32:14] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[32:16] ANDREW Learn: One day.

[32:17] Asmaâ: You already manifested a bunch of things coming out of this cup.

[32:20] ANDREW Learn: The blowlows.

[32:21] Asmaâ: The I feel.

[32:24] ANDREW Learn: I know.

[32:25] Asmaâ: Okay.

[32:26] ANDREW Learn: So when I started this episode, I told Andrew that I watched an episode today.

[34:05] Asmaâ: Well, the moment it comes and it goes.

[34:09] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, it's an everything.

[34:11] Asmaâ: It's in everything.

[34:50] ANDREW Learn: Amazing.

[34:55] Asmaâ: Well, first of all, what are we thinking? That was not Quinn.

[34:56] ANDREW Learn: When she went down the ramp, that was not Quinn.

[34:57] Asmaâ: No, no.

[34:59] ANDREW Learn: That was our sweet.

[35:03] Asmaâ: That was a stun double.

[35:04] ANDREW Learn: I believe everything that I see.

[35:08] Asmaâ: I need to go back and rewatch that.

[35:10] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, that's it.

[35:10] Asmaâ: It was like half a second, but yeah.

[35:12] ANDREW Learn: I don't know how, but I became a Kevin McHale statin.

[35:15] Asmaâ: I don't know. It just happened through like watching the Bratz movie Emily Times and him being there for half a second.

[35:24] ANDREW Learn: Wait a minute.

[35:25] Asmaâ: I need to watch this movie.

[35:26] ANDREW Learn: Oh, that's good.

[35:27] Asmaâ: I forgot about that.

[35:29] ANDREW Learn: Not there.

[35:30] Asmaâ: He's there for like a millisecond with his band at a time where like they make a cameo.

[35:34] ANDREW Learn: Literally.

[35:35] Asmaâ: But I like him there.

[35:37] ANDREW Learn: And like two TikTok.

[35:39] Asmaâ: Like, I was just I love Kevin McHale's voice.

[35:41] ANDREW Learn: I don't know why.

[35:42] Asmaâ: It just it does it for me.

[35:44] ANDREW Learn: So that was great.

[35:45] Asmaâ: Love that for him.

[35:46] ANDREW Learn: And also the small time where like Quinn and Artie were friends.

[35:50] Asmaâ: That was really sweet.

[35:51] ANDREW Learn: Love that.

[35:52] Asmaâ: Love that for them.

[35:53] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, a friendship.

[35:54] Asmaâ: This is what they wanted.

[35:55] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, exactly.

[35:56] Asmaâ: It was in my notes, but I didn't say it because I was like, it was a contextual friendship, so I understand that they stopped it.

[36:02] ANDREW Learn: But I like to think they can only be friends when she's in the chair.

[36:07] Asmaâ: I think right after this performance, like Artie's like, oh, like, let's come back here sometime.

[36:13] ANDREW Learn: And then Quinn's like, I'm not like you.

[36:16] Asmaâ: I'm gonna be sit, I'm gonna be dancing at Nationals.

[36:20] ANDREW Learn: So fucked up a little bit.

[36:21] Asmaâ: It's yeah.

[36:22] ANDREW Learn: I'm like, everybody knows you can't be friends with somebody in a wheelchair.

[36:25] Asmaâ: That's like against the accords.

[36:27] ANDREW Learn: Exactly.

[36:28] Asmaâ: At least we got two duets, though.

[36:30] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[36:30] Asmaâ: We got two MP3s.

[36:35] ANDREW Learn: I am wondering who is senior skip day for?

[36:39] Asmaâ: Anyone?

[36:40] ANDREW Learn: At this point?

[36:43] Asmaâ: Because you used to be like the sanctity of senior skip day where only seniors would go and they have a meeting to decide where they're gonna go for senior skip day.

[36:53] ANDREW Learn: And it doesn't include Tina, it doesn't include Vanessa Lencies, it doesn't include Rory because they're not seniors, right?

[36:58] Asmaâ: Right.

[36:58] ANDREW Learn: But guess what? They're at fucking senior skip day.

[37:01] Asmaâ: Like we all just get to go to Six Flags whenever we goddamn want.

[37:04] ANDREW Learn: No!

[37:08] Asmaâ: Right.

[37:08] ANDREW Learn: I it makes me a little sick.

[37:10] Asmaâ: It's like it's is nothing special.

[37:13] ANDREW Learn: Um yeah, I'm like, why are they?

[37:17] Asmaâ: I'm glad that they're all having fun together, but it would I think I would have preferred if it was just the eight seniors, honestly.

[37:25] ANDREW Learn: Um and then also something that's always stood out to me is that when they get to the top of the roller coaster, Finn says, I can see the tire shop.

[37:35] Asmaâ: Now, I opened up Google Maps in the middle of this performance, and I was like, how close is Lima, Ohio to the closest Six Flags?

[37:43] ANDREW Learn: Let me tell you, it's an hour and 47 minutes away.

[37:47] Asmaâ: Isn't Six Flag in like Sandusky?

[37:50] ANDREW Learn: It's in um, let's see.

[37:53] Asmaâ: It's well, it's it's called King's Island.

[37:56] ANDREW Learn: That there's no like I from what I could find, if there are any Ohioan uh glisteners, please correct me if I'm wrong, but King's Island is what I what came up when I searched.

[38:07] Asmaâ: Same brand.

[38:07] ANDREW Learn: I think they're owned.

[38:08] Asmaâ: I think Valley Fair, the Minnesota amusement park is owned by the same people.

[38:13] ANDREW Learn: It's in Six Flags Company.

[38:15] Asmaâ: Mason, Ohio, does that mean anything to you?

[38:18] ANDREW Learn: No.

[38:19] Asmaâ: So you cannot see this you can't see the tire shop.

[38:22] ANDREW Learn: I'm sorry, Tina.

[38:23] Asmaâ: Canonically, canonically, Finn's not that bright.

[38:28] ANDREW Learn: He sees four walls and a roof, and he's like, Oh, they're the tire shop, Rachel.

[38:33] Asmaâ: And Rachel's like, good Finn.

[38:35] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[38:36] Asmaâ: Good boy.

[38:36] ANDREW Learn: I would notice everywhere.

[38:38] Asmaâ: I would notice anywhere.

[38:40] ANDREW Learn: By the way, is like senior skip day a thing?

[38:42] Asmaâ: Because we don't have this in Canada.

[38:44] ANDREW Learn: It is.

[38:44] Asmaâ: Senior Skip Day.

[38:45] ANDREW Learn: It's either a senior skip day or a prank, senior prank.

[38:49] Asmaâ: Um where all the seniors just don't show up for a day.

[38:52] ANDREW Learn: And it's kind of known by the teachers that, oh yeah, this day is gonna be senior skip day, and just nobody's gonna show up.

[38:58] Asmaâ: Because if you don't show up without a note, like they can't really do anything to you because you're graduating.

[39:04] ANDREW Learn: Okay, yeah.

[39:05] Asmaâ: Wait, Allison. Did you go anywhere on your senior skip day?

[39:08] ANDREW Learn: We didn't have a senior skip day.

[39:09] Asmaâ: We were canonically boring.

[39:12] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[39:13] Asmaâ: Famously boring.

[39:14] ANDREW Learn: Famously boring.

[39:16] Asmaâ: So nothing happened.

[39:17] ANDREW Learn: We had a senior skip day, and I remember like my friend group, like we decided day of that I I was not involved in this.

[39:26] Asmaâ: They were like, we want to go to Cracker Barrel.

[39:28] ANDREW Learn: And I was like, oh no.

[39:31] Asmaâ: No.

[39:31] ANDREW Learn: And so one of my biggest regrets was just not going because I was against going to Cracker Barrel on senior.

[39:37] Asmaâ: But I instead I just stayed home and played Sims.

[39:40] ANDREW Learn: So vibes.

[39:41] Asmaâ: We did, we did go on a field trip our senior year.

[39:45] ANDREW Learn: I don't remember where we went, but we went on a field trip.

[39:48] Asmaâ: It might have been to Valley Fair.

[39:50] ANDREW Learn: So they were like, hey, don't even bother senior skip daying.

[39:53] Asmaâ: We've got you.

[39:54] ANDREW Learn: You're going to Valley Fair.

[39:58] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[39:59] ANDREW Learn: I thought it was a TV show thing, so glad to know it's real.

[40:03] Asmaâ: And senior skip day for like Blaine, Sam, Tina, and Artie.

[40:07] ANDREW Learn: They did it in the school, no.

[40:08] Asmaâ: They do like the senior lock-in.

[40:11] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, they do a lock-in overnight.

[40:13] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[40:13] ANDREW Learn: I've done that too, which I I do like doing that.

[40:16] Asmaâ: Wait, how does that work?

[40:18] ANDREW Learn: We did a theater lock-in where we stayed at the school overnight.

[40:22] Asmaâ: In the theater.

[40:24] ANDREW Learn: Did they know?

[40:25] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[40:26] ANDREW Learn: Everybody knew.

[40:27] Asmaâ: The directors knew.

[40:28] ANDREW Learn: I think I don't think the directors were there, but like they were they knew that we were staying there.

[40:33] Asmaâ: Huh.

[40:33] ANDREW Learn: It was fun.

[40:35] Asmaâ: Yeah, we had that too.

[40:36] ANDREW Learn: It was like a reading night.

[40:37] Asmaâ: We were supposed to read.

[40:38] ANDREW Learn: But we did that too.

[40:40] Asmaâ: We just parted and ate pizza and told stupid stories.

[40:45] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[40:46] Asmaâ: Um, I want this to go through.

[40:47] ANDREW Learn: I really like this.

[40:48] Asmaâ: I like this better than I'm still standing.

[40:51] ANDREW Learn: I know that people were upset that I'm still standing is not going through.

[40:54] Asmaâ: I like this better though.

[40:55] ANDREW Learn: I'm personally going to fight for this.

[40:57] Asmaâ: We'll see what it's against.

[40:58] ANDREW Learn: We'll see what it's against.

[41:00] Asmaâ: Okay.

[41:00] ANDREW Learn: I believe that this is the final colo.

[41:05] Asmaâ: Um, it's from season two.

[41:09] ANDREW Learn: I like this.

[41:10] Asmaâ: Here we go.

[41:17] ANDREW Learn: Some people can get it through knitting sweaters and sitting still.

[41:24] Asmaâ: That's okay for some people who don't know they're alive.

[41:31] ANDREW Learn: Some people can thrive in bloom, living life in the living room.

[41:38] Asmaâ: That's perfect for some people of one hundred and five.

[41:45] ANDREW Learn: But I at least got a try when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, and all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at.

[41:58] Asmaâ: Come on, Papa, what do you say?

[42:00] ANDREW Learn: Some people can be content playing in bingo and paying rent.

[42:07] Asmaâ: That's peachy for some people, for some hum drum people to be, but some people ain't me.

[42:23] Asmaâ: I had a dream. A wonderful dream, Papa. Goodbye to Blueberry Pie. Good riddance to all the socials. I had to go to all the lodges. I had to play all the triners. I said hello to HLA, I'm coming your way. Some people sit on their butt. Got the dream, yeah, but not the gut. That's living for some people. For some hum drum people, I suppose. Well, they can stay and rot. But not wrong. Quick question, what was he auditioning for again? This was National Solo. This is the penultimate episode of season two.

[43:27] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. Um, well, I like him. Sure. Uh I like his outfit, although I would do modifications, but I do like his outfit. Uh and I was paying attention to the band for like my band episode head canon. Um but I don't have a lot to say about it. It's like it's like corrupt when you hear like it's like he always does the same thing, you know? It's like I like it, I like his songs. Like, like I said, I'll uh I like some of the of his songs, but like there's nothing um special about it, I found okay.

[44:02] Asmaâ: Yeah, where does this song come from?

[44:06] ANDREW Learn: This is also from Gypsy. This is all it's a little bit of Rose's turn, right?

[44:10] Asmaâ: It's Rose's turn, yeah.

[44:11] ANDREW Learn: Okay. So they pulled from the same catalog. I still like this. Obviously, not as much as Rose's turn. I think it's fun. I do reach for it. This is actually like a harder competition than I thought.

[44:27] Asmaâ: Oh, okay. Um, I think objectively, it is I think that we can all agree. Even the Kurt stance, this is the worst audition for um national solo with my man, try a little tenderness, and back to black.

[44:43] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, against it. But this still, like, you know, it's good. Put your drinks up a little bit.

[44:48] Asmaâ: Yeah, it's good.

[44:49] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I like him. He's good. He's always good, I think.

[44:54] Asmaâ: Yeah, Allison hates it.

[44:59] ANDREW Learn: I'm gonna say something that's gonna have Gleeks in our DMs.

[45:05] Asmaâ: And when are they not?

[45:06] ANDREW Learn: I don't want my account is public. Come to my DMs because I think the songs that Kurt sings on this stage in this I I don't know if this'll hit, like this will make sense, but in this lighting or this stage.

[45:28] Asmaâ: Oh, it's like an audition, yeah.

[45:30] ANDREW Learn: Do not hit for me at all. This doesn't hit um I'm the greatest star.

[45:40] Asmaâ: I am the greatest star, doesn't hit um Boy Next Door doesn't hit.

[45:44] ANDREW Learn: Well, I disagree about that one, but these songs don't hit for me.

[45:49] Asmaâ: Kurt at Niada in the big bowl room.

[45:53] ANDREW Learn: Those songs hit for me.

[45:56] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[45:56] ANDREW Learn: But not at a time. I think those are different songs that he's doing in the bowl room.

[46:01] Asmaâ: So yeah, you're liking those songs.

[46:03] ANDREW Learn: I'm it's it's not specifically the bowl room that I like, but it's the songs that he chooses as he matures and grows as a character.

[46:12] Asmaâ: Okay. Um I really do like this song. This is an easy competition for me in a different way.

[46:20] ANDREW Learn: Um remind me, I think famously, you don't put Kurt Solos a lot, right?

[46:26] Asmaâ: You don't put them through.

[46:28] ANDREW Learn: No, that's sort of my thing.

[46:30] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[46:31] ANDREW Learn: Um I'm afraid that's what's gonna happen right now.

[46:34] Asmaâ: Oh no.

[46:35] ANDREW Learn: I cast the first vote, and I understand where this competition is going.

[46:40] Asmaâ: I'm casting it for some people.

[46:42] ANDREW Learn: I do like it. I think that I would reach for it over up up up personally.

[46:43] Asmaâ: Okay.

[46:43] ANDREW Learn: I would reach for up up up before I reach for some people. That's my vote.

[46:53] Asmaâ: So you are yeah.

[46:55] ANDREW Learn: Um I yeah, I guess I'll go with up up just like because Kevin and he doesn't get a lot of songs, so yeah.

[47:02] Asmaâ: I'm going with with with that.

[47:04] ANDREW Learn: Sorry, sorry to this man.

[47:07] Asmaâ: No, I don't have the vehement hatred for some people, but I do for I am the greatest star. Like there's redeeming qualities of this song, but I would rather listen to Rose's turn if I'm listening to this song.

[47:22] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[47:23] Asmaâ: Like, why wouldn't I just turn around Rose's turn?

[47:25] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[47:26] Asmaâ: Okay. But I mean, the same sort of logic can apply for drunk Rachel versus people, Rachel.

[47:34] ANDREW Learn: They exist in the same musical, and it's the same solo sang by the same character.

[47:41] Asmaâ: But yeah, you could you could say that.

[47:46] ANDREW Learn: I am saying that. I'm standing up for her today.

[47:49] Asmaâ: Go.

[47:49] ANDREW Learn: Thank you for doing that. Nobody ever does that.

[47:52] Asmaâ: Um season six.

[47:55] ANDREW Learn: Here is my second song here.

[48:11] Asmaâ: I sailing away.

[48:19] ANDREW Learn: Set an open course for the virgin sea. Free to face the life that's ahead of me. On board on the captain, so climb aboard we'll search for tomorrow on every shore hand I'll try on drive.

[49:16] Asmaâ: A gathering of angels, a being of the mind. They sang to me this song of hop. And this is what they say.

[49:28] ANDREW Learn: They say, come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me. Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me. Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me.

[49:58] Asmaâ: A last season hit for me.

[50:01] ANDREW Learn: I don't know. I'm feeling really optimistic about all the songs of tonight.

[50:06] Asmaâ: I'm feeling good.

[50:07] ANDREW Learn: You tell all your friends in the club.

[50:10] Asmaâ: That's my friend. We went to high school together.

[50:16] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[50:17] Asmaâ: Allison, your best friend Michael is there.

[50:20] ANDREW Learn: Sorry.

[50:21] Asmaâ: I just love Michael.

[50:23] ANDREW Learn: Um big kiss.

[50:26] Asmaâ: Um I think this song doesn't strike me as something that comes out of Rachel or Kurt's songbook.

[50:36] ANDREW Learn: It strikes me as something that Will Schuster as a coach would come up with.

[50:40] Asmaâ: Or Finn.

[50:41] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[50:42] Asmaâ: Or Finn. But I don't see Rachel or Kurt being like, yeah, come sail away by who the fuck even sticks.

[50:49] ANDREW Learn: Sticks.

[50:50] Asmaâ: Yeah. Like, this is a dad song. Like, my dad loves this song.

[50:54] ANDREW Learn: Like, and you know what Rachel has? Two dads.

[50:56] Asmaâ: And what does what does Kurt? What does Kurt have?

[51:00] ANDREW Learn: Only a dad.

[51:02] Asmaâ: Single father. I'm like, I don't know what it is about tonight, but I'm like, you know, the Glee has done no wrong.

[51:09] ANDREW Learn: We are being too critical on this show.

[51:13] Asmaâ: It's simply.

[51:14] ANDREW Learn: I'm not saying that as a bad thing. I'm just saying, like, that's a weird, a weird choice for Rachel and Kurt.

[51:20] Asmaâ: But what I want to say is what's what's the male twin's name?

[51:24] ANDREW Learn: I'm blanking on his name.

[51:25] Asmaâ: Mason.

[51:26] ANDREW Learn: Mason.

[51:27] Asmaâ: Mason, I think King.

[51:30] ANDREW Learn: King.

[51:31] Asmaâ: He is the strongest male voice in the Glee Club in season six.

[51:36] ANDREW Learn: I'm saying, I'm saying this.

[51:38] Asmaâ: Stop, stop, stop.

[51:39] ANDREW Learn: Stop, stop, stop.

[51:40] Asmaâ: Noah Guthrie is very, very good.

[51:44] ANDREW Learn: Roderick is incredible, but I think there's a specific song that fits his voice the best.

[51:49] Asmaâ: I think Mason is a little bit more dynamic and can do show tunes, can do pop hits, can do rock music, and he can fit into a lot more boxes.

[52:01] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[52:03] Asmaâ: Whereas I'm gonna give all my folky rock music to Roderick.

[52:08] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I understand.

[52:09] Asmaâ: I get it.

[52:10] ANDREW Learn: That's I think that even if you're a hundred percent good at something like Roderick is, I still think that that's like better than Mason.

[52:21] Asmaâ: I like it.

[52:22] ANDREW Learn: Really?

[52:22] Asmaâ: I like Mason's voice.

[52:24] ANDREW Learn: No, I really like it too, but I like you can't compete.

[52:28] Asmaâ: I think it's like agree to disagree with these voices.

[52:33] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[52:33] Asmaâ: Because we will pull what the fuck is his solo.

[52:37] ANDREW Learn: Must thank Sally.

[52:39] Asmaâ: Oh.

[52:39] ANDREW Learn: No, not m not Roderick's solo.

[52:41] Asmaâ: Mason's solo.

[52:43] ANDREW Learn: I want to break free.

[52:44] Asmaâ: I want to break free.

[52:45] ANDREW Learn: I fucking love that song.

[52:46] Asmaâ: I rise for that.

[52:47] ANDREW Learn: I get it.

[52:48] Asmaâ: I rise for that.

[52:49] ANDREW Learn: Rise.

[52:51] Asmaâ: Okay, well.

[52:52] ANDREW Learn: What do you uh well I would say first of all, I think um we could go with canonically uh what's her name?

[53:01] Asmaâ: Rachel and Kurt would have like their music taste expanded because of all their years with Will Trouster and like That's fair.

[53:07] ANDREW Learn: That is fair.

[53:08] Asmaâ: Okay.

[53:08] ANDREW Learn: Teaching them.

[53:09] Asmaâ: Like as someone who uh was like classically went to learn classical music in school.

[53:14] ANDREW Learn: Like I learned a lot of songs I wouldn't have otherwise, and that expected my palette.

[53:19] Asmaâ: So I think that's that's they would do that as well.

[53:21] ANDREW Learn: So maybe they would do that that song.

[53:23] Asmaâ: Um as for the song, it's uh it's a bop.

[53:26] ANDREW Learn: I like it.

[53:27] Asmaâ: It is it's good, it's a it's a good song, and like the performance is cute.

[53:31] ANDREW Learn: Like, even though like usually like um national like performances, they don't really hit for me because I'm just like, okay, you're dancing and singing.

[53:38] Asmaâ: Like I get that's show choir, but like that's it's like just like okay for me, but I think it was really cute.

[53:44] ANDREW Learn: Did they sing this in any pitch perfect movies?

[53:47] Asmaâ: I don't think that they did.

[53:49] ANDREW Learn: Because this that would make sense.

[53:51] Asmaâ: I'm gonna like, but I'll look it up.

[53:55] ANDREW Learn: There were two parts of this song that really reminded me that we were a season six competition performance.

[54:03] Asmaâ: The first being Spencer arriving to the stage on crutches.

[54:07] ANDREW Learn: Right.

[54:07] Asmaâ: And the second being the poodle in the audience.

[54:11] ANDREW Learn: Oh my god.

[54:12] Asmaâ: You would never find in Glee seasons one through as a poodle as a judge.

[54:18] ANDREW Learn: We're just doing things.

[54:20] Asmaâ: Um just a little chuckle to myself if I as I saw like Spencer just I don't know, crutch himself out to center stage.

[54:28] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[54:29] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[54:30] ANDREW Learn: And sing poorly.

[54:32] Asmaâ: And sing so poorly.

[54:33] ANDREW Learn: And I don't like listen.

[54:35] Asmaâ: I know that, like, I don't have a good voice.

[54:38] ANDREW Learn: But I'm gonna I'm gonna say something about people's voices right now.

[54:42] Asmaâ: Okay.

[54:42] ANDREW Learn: They pair Spencer and Kitty up a number of times in season six, vocally.

[54:49] Asmaâ: And I'm like, neither of them can really sing that well.

[54:53] ANDREW Learn: My opinion.

[54:54] Asmaâ: Okay, I've had a lot of songs. It's my opinion!

[54:55] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I've had a lot of positive opinions about Glee tonight.

[54:58] Asmaâ: And this is gonna be the number like this is gonna be the one that I stand by that's negative.

[55:02] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I'm sorry.

[55:05] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[55:03] Asmaâ: Good and bad opinions.

[55:05] Asmaâ: I feel like you guys should apologize less for your opinions.

[55:08] ANDREW Learn: They're okay.

[55:12] Asmaâ: It's our podcast.

[55:13] Asmaâ: Yeah, okay.

[55:13] ANDREW Learn: It's true.

[55:14] ANDREW Learn: It's our podcast.

[55:14] Asmaâ: I can't really think of his his voice.

[55:17] ANDREW Learn: The only time I can think of his voice is like not in this show, it's in like when he's in the Disney Channel original movie, How to Build a Better Boy.

[55:24] Asmaâ: And he sings He's in a Disney Channel originally.

[55:27] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, he sings I Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez.

[55:30] Asmaâ: No.

[55:30] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, he does.

[55:31] Asmaâ: Oh, I feel like I knew this.

[55:33] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[55:33] Asmaâ: It's called How to Build a Better Boy.

[55:35] ANDREW Learn: Wait, so you could potentially like cut together Santana's Stop it.

[55:40] Asmaâ: Love You Like a Love Song.

[55:41] ANDREW Learn: And Spencer's Love You Like a Love Song and make them sing a duet.

[55:44] Asmaâ: Finally, a Spencer Santana duet.

[55:46] ANDREW Learn: Well, we need it.

[55:47] Asmaâ: The people won't.

[55:48] ANDREW Learn: Nobody asked for that.

[55:49] Asmaâ: Everybody asked for it.

[55:52] ANDREW Learn: Um do we have anything else to add about come sail away?

[55:56] Asmaâ: Glee Cast version by the Glee Cast, I think.

[55:58] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[56:00] Asmaâ: This would have been better as a Finn song.

[56:02] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, well.

[56:03] Asmaâ: Okay.

[56:04] ANDREW Learn: We have a season two song.

[56:06] Asmaâ: Again.

[56:08] ANDREW Learn: Again.

[56:09] Asmaâ: Again.

[56:09] ANDREW Learn: Again.

[56:10] Asmaâ: Again.

[56:11] ANDREW Learn: Here we go.

[56:11] Asmaâ: And it's it's one we've been waiting for.

[56:14] ANDREW Learn: I would try.

[56:15] Asmaâ: I would say so.

[56:18] ANDREW Learn: It's I think objectively the best solo by this character.

[56:23] Asmaâ: And we know what song it is.

[56:24] ANDREW Learn: I don't know what it is.

[56:31] ♪ Musical number: "The Chain" — performed by Kevin McHale ♪

[58:25] ANDREW Learn: Okay, yeah, it hits. Tears so much. I love what do we think? That's when he called Britney stupid, right?

[58:34] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[58:35] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. Um, well, like I said, I love Kevin's voice. So yeah, it's good. Can I can I say uh Kevin's story randomly, like real quick?

[58:44] Asmaâ: Yes.

[58:45] ANDREW Learn: Of course it's at Art Hall. Yeah, okay. Um, so there's this TV show that I really loved. Uh, I still love it, but it's a Norwegian TV show, right? And it's called Skam. And like, yeah, not a lot of people know about it. But anyway, there's like many remakes of the show, and one of them was French. And so I decided to like do subtitles for the French version of the show. And then one day I see the celebrity like tweeting my version of the subtitles, and I was like, that's so cool. And then I know that's Kevin McHale. He's watching the show with my subtitles.

[59:13] Asmaâ: Does he know French?

[59:15] ANDREW Learn: And uh no, like it I was subtitled in English.

[59:18] Asmaâ: Oh, okay. Wait, I love that.

[59:21] ANDREW Learn: The audience, and you know, he watched it and I was like, that's it. He's seen your content.

[59:25] Asmaâ: I'm upset. I love that.

[59:27] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. I only knew of Skam from Tumblr. Because I think the fandoms kind of had a little bit of crossover, and then I had I roomed with a couple of women who were from Denmark.

[59:42] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[59:43] ANDREW Learn: And they would watch the show and I would be like, huh. I've seen that on Tumblr. I know there's a couple of gay characters that everybody loves.

[59:51] Asmaâ: It's really good. It's a really good show. It's so good that they made like seven remakes.

[59:55] ANDREW Learn: Oh my god. Yeah.

[59:56] Asmaâ: And Kevin McHale loves it.

[59:58] ANDREW Learn: He loves it. He loves it. I think he loves two versions, but yeah. I love that. But this.

[1:00:06] Asmaâ: Yeah, this song.

[1:00:08] ANDREW Learn: So good. Best Artolo by far. I wish it was longer.

[1:00:12] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:00:14] ANDREW Learn: Like the bend down one time, bend down two times. Drill it into my brain.

[1:00:21] Asmaâ: Exactly. Never going back again.

[1:00:24] ANDREW Learn: No. I keep on coming back. I keep on coming back, baby.

[1:00:28] Asmaâ: Yeah, I'm obsessed. I'm coming back for you, baby. I'm coming back for this song, baby.

[1:00:34] ANDREW Learn: Um yeah. I'm obsessed with like Puck just like waiting for like Artie to be like broken up with in the happenstance that he's gonna sing a Fleetwood Mac song.

[1:00:44] Asmaâ: Dude, I'm upset. Talk about friendships.

[1:00:46] ANDREW Learn: I love that friendship.

[1:00:48] Asmaâ: Yeah, it's cute. Okay. Gripe that I just like I realized this viewing though was that okay. So like Puck starts the like the Artie chant, and then Sam and Finn start as well, like following as well. They get to the stage. Correct me if I'm wrong, is that Mike Chang in the background? That's like also playing guitar, like as a glorified like extra band member, and he's just there as well, like strumming on the guitar.

[1:01:16] ANDREW Learn: Also, I don't know, maybe I've turned a switch and maybe I'm just saying negative things now.

[1:01:21] Asmaâ: Yeah, but um, too many guitars.

[1:01:25] ANDREW Learn: I liked it!

[1:01:26] Asmaâ: I love it so much. I think like aesthetically, like, yeah, it's beautiful to watch. I don't think that that many guitars would be producing that sound.

[1:01:35] ANDREW Learn: That is so.

[1:01:35] Asmaâ: Stop the way you like flash mobs.

[1:01:37] ANDREW Learn: I like lots of guitars on stage.

[1:01:39] Asmaâ: Lots of guitars.

[1:01:40] ANDREW Learn: Lots of guitars. Just imagine if Glee were real, just like imagine being in that room.

[1:01:47] Asmaâ: No, uh Sam cannot play the guitar guitar.

[1:01:50] ANDREW Learn: Oh wait, Sam can't play the guitar.

[1:01:51] Asmaâ: Sam can play the guitar.

[1:01:53] ANDREW Learn: Puck can't play the guitar.

[1:01:55] Asmaâ: Can get uh Puck wait Finn. Wait, can they all be? Finn?

[1:02:00] ANDREW Learn: I don't know when Finn plays a guitar.

[1:02:02] Asmaâ: But um Puck does for um Yeah we know Bob Marley.

[1:02:07] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:02:08] Asmaâ: Yeah. Okay. Wait. Now that I'm thinking about it. And loser, wait. I think Finn plays a guitar in "Loser," right? Or no?

[1:02:14] ANDREW Learn: No, I think that might just be Puck.

[1:02:16] Asmaâ: Okay.

[1:02:17] ANDREW Learn: I don't think Finn has ever touched a guitar in his life.

[1:02:19] Asmaâ: Only here. And I'm glad that we got it on film.

[1:02:24] ANDREW Learn: Thank God. When we're voting, Asmaâ, you start the vote.

[1:02:30] Asmaâ: Okay. Um. I guess I'll go with I'll go with Kevin.

[1:02:41] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, yeah. I'm going with Kevin too.

[1:02:44] Asmaâ: I don't have a choice.

[1:02:45] ANDREW Learn: Unanimous Kevin. We need to. I also need to shout out the fact that like there is a Brittana moment in this performance that I made again, Sims of uh Brittana dressed in this exact because I love this Brittana outfit so much that I'm like, I need to create it on the case.

[1:03:03] Asmaâ: Dude, break glass in case of Fleetwood Mac. Like this is a good fits, this episode. I remember showing my mom the Brittana Sims that I made, and she was like, What am I to do with this information? And I'm like, I don't know. Worship it.

[1:03:16] ANDREW Learn: Exactly. It's great. Love it.

[1:03:20] Asmaâ: Okay, you pulled the song in your MD brain.

[1:03:24] ANDREW Learn: No, not necessarily. Just like it's January, okay.

[1:03:30] Asmaâ: It's my birthday month.

[1:03:33] ANDREW Learn: Your early birthday.

[1:03:37] Asmaâ: Oh, I understand why you said.

[1:03:44] ANDREW Learn: It's coming on Christmas.

[1:03:47] Asmaâ: They're cutting down trees.

[1:03:49] ANDREW Learn: They're putting up a reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace.

[1:03:54] Asmaâ: Oh, I wish I had a river.

[1:03:57] ANDREW Learn: I could skate away on.

[1:04:03] Asmaâ: I wish I had a river so long.

[1:04:07] ANDREW Learn: I would teach my feet to fly.

[1:04:17] Asmaâ: Oh, I wish I had a river.

[1:04:20] ANDREW Learn: I could skate away on.

[1:04:26] Asmaâ: I made my baby.

[1:04:47] ANDREW Learn: It loved me so naughty made me weaken the knees.

[1:04:52] Asmaâ: Oh wish I had a river.

[1:04:55] ANDREW Learn: I could skate away.

[1:05:12] Asmaâ: Hmm.

[1:05:14] ANDREW Learn: So short.

[1:05:15] Asmaâ: So short.

[1:05:16] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. They tried to do that. Well, because I think there's like ten songs in this episode. Um this is one of two Rachel auditions for Artie's like Star Wars special.

[1:05:29] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:05:30] ANDREW Learn: It's like wow. We're just jamming in. Um Asmaâ, what do we think?

[1:05:34] Asmaâ: Well, there's two things that come to mind first when I hear this song. Is like the Ben Platt version in The Politician, but I really like that version.

[1:05:42] ANDREW Learn: Brian Murphy project.

[1:05:43] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:05:45] ANDREW Learn: He loves the song.

[1:05:46] Asmaâ: It's a good song. And the second thing is I'm hearing Sue's voice being like, where's the money coming for this whole set?

[1:05:55] ANDREW Learn: Right.

[1:05:55] Asmaâ: For this audition.

[1:05:57] ANDREW Learn: For an audition.

[1:05:59] Asmaâ: Like, we got Becky in the rafters with the fake snow.

[1:06:02] ANDREW Learn: Literally.

[1:06:03] Asmaâ: And you're complaining about no money. I feel like maybe get a treasurer.

[1:06:08] ANDREW Learn: Right. Exactly.

[1:06:11] Asmaâ: I it's funny that you're thinking of the Ben Platt version. I'm thinking about the Darren Criss version, which is much quicker.

[1:06:18] ANDREW Learn: No one is surviving.

[1:06:22] Asmaâ: Joni Mitchell.

[1:06:23] ANDREW Learn: And I like that better.

[1:06:26] Asmaâ: I'm reaching for that more.

[1:06:27] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:06:28] Asmaâ: The Darren version?

[1:06:30] ANDREW Learn: The Darren version. This is not bad. It's a very sweet song. I don't really think it's a Christmas song, but sure.

[1:06:37] Asmaâ: It's coming up.

[1:06:39] ANDREW Learn: Christmas. That's it.

[1:06:41] Asmaâ: Yeah. Uh, I like it. Why was this the only Joni Mitchell song that they sang the entire series?

[1:06:48] ANDREW Learn: Who knows?

[1:06:49] Asmaâ: I don't know. We'll never know.

[1:06:50] ANDREW Learn: I don't got the slightest idea. Um, but I think, you know, maybe they were like, maybe I'm back to defending Glee. Um, maybe this was like a Christmas play that another club or like a sanction of the school was putting on.

[1:07:05] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:07:05] ANDREW Learn: And Rachel and the Glee Club happened upon it, and she was like, Well, I gotta sing River.

[1:07:11] Asmaâ: Yeah. Did they pull out all the old decorations from Merry Christmas, darling, and just like recycle them?

[1:07:16] ANDREW Learn: This is like the same setup, I believe, as Merry Christmas, darling.

[1:07:21] Asmaâ: Another time we've got to pull.

[1:07:22] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:07:23] Asmaâ: Um, so yeah. Rolos love this set.

[1:07:30] ANDREW Learn: Uh, it's like to me, like Rachel has so many solos that like sometimes they just blend together, and this is what it's giving me. Like, it's just like, okay. She sings good. Sure. Great. Good for you.

[1:07:41] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:07:42] ANDREW Learn: This one's like surprisingly short, though. I I'm like very distracted by how short it is. Anything else about River?

[1:07:50] Asmaâ: Rollers be rolling.

[1:07:52] ANDREW Learn: They do be rolling. Okay. Um, season one. Okay. A song that I've personally been waiting for. Another, if I'm not mistaken, another short performance, but it's a good one.

[1:08:06] Asmaâ: Um that features prior Gleek the Week.

[1:08:12] ANDREW Learn: Here we go. Do we know what it is?

[1:08:15] Asmaâ: Oh, Mercy?

[1:08:17] ANDREW Learn: It's Mercy.

[1:08:18] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:08:18] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. Hit the bee, take it to the vegetable.

[1:08:23] Asmaâ: Yeah. Yeah. I love you. But I gotta stay true. My morals got me on my knees. I'm begging, please stop playing.

[1:09:21] ANDREW Learn: It hits.

[1:09:22] Asmaâ: Yeah. What the what they've done in one minute and four seconds, uh it's amazing.

[1:09:28] ANDREW Learn: It's incredible. The dance moves, my trust issues could simply never like bending over backwards and accepting that your partner is going to catch you on their feet when they can't even see the floor.

[1:09:40] Asmaâ: No. I won't do it.

[1:09:41] ANDREW Learn: Beautiful. That vocal adrenaline has for one another.

[1:09:46] Asmaâ: Yep.

[1:09:47] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. I'm afraid of them. Who's the who's the former Gleek of the week?

[1:09:51] Asmaâ: I did not catch.

[1:09:52] ANDREW Learn: It's um Taisha Mooney Clark, who is like, it's credited on Glee Wiki as a Giselle solo. Um she has admitted that she is she did not go into the studio. That is not her singing voice. Um, but she's there. She's the frontline dancer.

[1:10:01] Asmaâ: Okay.

[1:10:13] ANDREW Learn: Singer. Um I love this. This is great.

[1:10:16] Asmaâ: This is really good.

[1:10:17] ANDREW Learn: Yeah. This is really good. That's good. I would reach for this more than I would for a river. Just like at like I reach for faster songs usually, but right.

[1:10:28] Asmaâ: No, I agree.

[1:10:29] ANDREW Learn: That's for me. Uh this is Amy Winehouse.

[1:10:32] Asmaâ: This is Duffy.

[1:10:33] ANDREW Learn: Duffy. Which they're they're Why did I think it was Amy Winehouse? Because they do rehab.

[1:10:39] ANDREW Learn: Mmm, blends in.

[1:10:40] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:10:41] ANDREW Learn: One word.

[1:10:42] Asmaâ: Same kind of outfit color.

[1:10:44] ANDREW Learn: Five letters.

[1:10:46] Asmaâ: Same kind of outfit color, the blue.

[1:10:49] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:10:50] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:10:50] ANDREW Learn: Vocal Adrenaline.

[1:10:51] Asmaâ: Vocal Adrenaline in their bag, and I've said this before, and I'll say it again, but Vocal Adrenaline, this is untouched since this era, the Mercy rehab era.

[1:11:00] ANDREW Learn: They never go back.

[1:11:01] Asmaâ: Like "Bohemian Rhapsody," obviously in a league of its own.

[1:11:04] ANDREW Learn: But like, even like "Pinball Wizard," "Starsh," we never reach this ever again.

[1:11:10] Asmaâ: No.

[1:11:11] ANDREW Learn: This is beautiful.

[1:11:13] Asmaâ: It is.

[1:11:14] ANDREW Learn: It's gorgeous.

[1:11:14] Asmaâ: And I love it.

[1:11:15] ANDREW Learn: And it's perfect.

[1:11:16] Asmaâ: Some gorgeous, gorgeous girls.

[1:11:19] ANDREW Learn: No.

[1:11:20] Asmaâ: I would make it longer.

[1:11:21] ANDREW Learn: That's the only note I have.

[1:11:22] Asmaâ: Yeah, um true.

[1:11:23] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:11:24] Asmaâ: Do they pull back and it's like, uh, Adina Menzel talking to them or Sue or something like that?

[1:11:30] ANDREW Learn: It's the pullback, and they're like, it's um remember the little kid from the beginning of, uh, "Jurassic Park," the first movie.

[1:11:37] Asmaâ: It's the Dakota Stanley.

[1:11:39] ANDREW Learn: It's his actor, and he's like, "Get off my stage," and that's who they want to be.

[1:11:45] Asmaâ: Right.

[1:11:45] ANDREW Learn: Right, great, right?

[1:11:46] Asmaâ: Choreographer.

[1:11:47] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, I forgot about that.

[1:11:49] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:11:49] ANDREW Learn: God, season one was wild.

[1:11:52] Asmaâ: So yeah, I'm obsessed.

[1:11:55] ANDREW Learn: Yep.

[1:11:56] Asmaâ: That's when it comes down to it.

[1:11:58] ANDREW Learn: Asmaâ, what do you vote about?

[1:12:00] Asmaâ: Oh, okay. Uh, well, I yeah, I'll go with Vocal or Jr. Lane, just like, yeah.

[1:12:04] ANDREW Learn: Because like Rachel, be a Racheling.

[1:12:07] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:12:07] ANDREW Learn: Right, exactly.

[1:12:08] Asmaâ: Rollos do Rolo, but Mercy is going through for me as well.

[1:12:12] ANDREW Learn: Mm-hmm.

[1:12:13] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:12:13] ANDREW Learn: I mean, same.

[1:12:15] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:12:15] ANDREW Learn: It's gotta be Mercy.

[1:12:17] Asmaâ: I would reach for "Merry Christmas, Darling" more than "River."

[1:12:21] ANDREW Learn: Really?

[1:12:21] Asmaâ: I don't think I agree with that.

[1:12:25] ANDREW Learn: We'll get to it.

[1:12:26] Asmaâ: We'll get to it.

[1:12:26] ANDREW Learn: We'll discuss it.

[1:12:27] Asmaâ: Different episode, different episode, different time.

[1:12:29] ANDREW Learn: Um, to recap, I have "Never Going Back Again."

[1:12:34] Asmaâ: Wait, no.

[1:12:35] ANDREW Learn: Some people staying behind, "Never Going Back Again," going through, and "Mercy" also going through.

[1:12:40] Asmaâ: And I have "Up Up Up" going through, "Come Sail Away," and "River" staying behind.

[1:12:46] ANDREW Learn: I don't feel bad about those. I think these were all the correct opinions, I think.

[1:12:50] Asmaâ: And anybody that has anything to say about it, uh, I mean, I'm sure these songs are the song for somebody.

[1:12:56] ANDREW Learn: It would, they were not the song for me.

[1:12:58] Asmaâ: So there's gonna be some people heads.

[1:13:01] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:13:02] Asmaâ: Some people will rise for some people, including myself.

[1:13:04] ANDREW Learn: I'm not, but I'm not mad about "Up Up Up."

[1:13:07] Asmaâ: Okay.

[1:13:07] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:13:08] Asmaâ: Good, I'm glad.

[1:13:10] ANDREW Learn: Um, Asmaâ, we are going to wrap up by asking you if Glee was still on in the year of our glory, Ryan Murphy, 2023.

[1:13:19] Asmaâ: Yes, true.

[1:13:21] ANDREW Learn: Sickening.

[1:13:22] Asmaâ: Um, what are they doing? What are they singing?

[1:13:24] ANDREW Learn: So I think they would definitely do a 1D solo careers episode where like they do every song that like the singles, they did every single one of them after they broke up, and they would have fight over which is the best one he saw.

[1:13:38] Asmaâ: Oh, that'd be so fun.

[1:13:39] ANDREW Learn: That'd be like "Hello Talk" Glee cast version by Glee Cast.

[1:13:41] Asmaâ: Yeah, and they would like fight, and like someone would be like, uh, I don't know if we, if it's set after like Liam flop era, but like someone would be like, I think we should admire Liam for actually what he's doing.

[1:13:53] ANDREW Learn: Um, yeah. Um, defend Liam. Wait, and who would that be?

[1:13:58] Asmaâ: Already for sure it is already, already is defending Liam so hard, uh, and the episode ends with them singing a One Direction song, obviously.

[1:14:07] ANDREW Learn: Okay, yes, coming back together.

[1:14:09] Asmaâ: Um, I think they should have done like not English songs.

[1:14:12] ANDREW Learn: Like I know it's not the main cast that would sing them because none of them don't like speak English, but like they should do non-English songs, but like not like "Gangnam Style."

[1:14:19] Asmaâ: Just like do it better. Like in the Spanish teacher episode.

[1:14:22] ANDREW Learn: Like that was pretty good, I thought.

[1:14:23] Asmaâ: Like when they got like that, they got Ricky Martin to do it. I think they should do that with like different songs.

[1:14:28] ANDREW Learn: But I don't know that that non-English songs like famous in America, I guess.

[1:14:34] Asmaâ: That's what Glee does.

[1:14:36] ANDREW Learn: They make songs famous, okay.

[1:14:38] Asmaâ: Like do it. Like sometimes, like, I don't know, like I speak French, and like a lot of I'm surprised when French songs are like popular with American audiences.

[1:14:46] ANDREW Learn: I'm like, you, you don't understand though.

[1:14:49] Asmaâ: The one song that I that gives "Up Up Up" that I believe is French, but the English version is "We Are Young, We Are Free."

[1:15:00] ANDREW Learn: That's a French song.

[1:15:02] Asmaâ: Yeah, but I, and I don't know what it is because it was in a Coke commercial, and then the French version is in the movie "LOL" with Miley Cyrus.

[1:15:10] ANDREW Learn: Um, I could not tell.

[1:15:12] Asmaâ: I don't know the French button as well.

[1:15:15] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, exactly.

[1:15:16] Asmaâ: I could not tell you.

[1:15:19] ANDREW Learn: Um, okay, so I think we can all agree that like Glee inspired Pitch Perfect.

[1:15:24] Asmaâ: So the fact that they never did like a riff-off type episode, like they should, it should have been like a mash-off, like a like a like a tradition, like one of the duets or the matchups, yeah.

[1:15:37] ANDREW Learn: I wish that they did mash up more than two songs in Glee.

[1:15:41] Asmaâ: But I think that like Pitch Perfect was like, hey, we're gonna try something Glee.

[1:15:45] ANDREW Learn: You have to promise you won't copy this though.

[1:15:47] Asmaâ: Glee, we trademarked this.

[1:15:48] ANDREW Learn: You can't do it right.

[1:15:50] Asmaâ: We copied everything else from you.

[1:15:53] ANDREW Learn: Exactly.

[1:15:53] Asmaâ: Let us have this one thing.

[1:15:54] ANDREW Learn: And then literally Skylar Aston.

[1:15:58] Asmaâ: Then they have the audacity to be like songs that were ruined by Glee.

[1:16:02] ANDREW Learn: It's like you're looking Glee right in the face as you make this movie.

[1:16:06] Asmaâ: You're watching Glee.

[1:16:08] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:16:09] Asmaâ: Okay, and so if it was right now, I know everybody always says like the Olivia stuff.

[1:16:14] ANDREW Learn: I think they would have capitalized on the like Jolivia, the whole triangle.

[1:16:18] Asmaâ: They would have done Olivia's songs and like Joshua's songs and like Sabrina's songs.

[1:16:22] ANDREW Learn: Nonsense.

[1:16:23] Asmaâ: Yeah, love that.

[1:16:25] ANDREW Learn: By the way, Andrew, what was that thing about not liking Sabrina?

[1:16:29] Asmaâ: Me?

[1:16:30] ANDREW Learn: I think you mentioned like I don't really like her music.

[1:16:32] Asmaâ: No, Alan, I, that was me.

[1:16:35] ANDREW Learn: Said that she didn't like Sabrina.

[1:16:37] Asmaâ: Simply because I was pitting Dove Cameron against Sabrina Carpenter.

[1:16:41] ANDREW Learn: Okay, well that's that.

[1:16:43] Asmaâ: People compare me to like Sabrina Carpenter, so it's like I'm one, I'm an original, so um Dove Cameron, I like their voice better.

[1:16:53] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[1:16:53] Asmaâ: I'm so sorry to have accused you, Andrew.

[1:16:56] ANDREW Learn: No, it's okay.

[1:16:57] Asmaâ: You came in hot.

[1:16:58] ANDREW Learn: Okay, loves drama.

[1:16:59] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:17:00] ANDREW Learn: Literally.

[1:17:01] Asmaâ: Yeah, no. So yeah, I think they would have done like, uh, they would have done that and like had, uh, one of the love triangles that they have like parallel it in some way.

[1:17:08] ANDREW Learn: I've been frightened.

[1:17:10] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:17:10] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:17:11] Asmaâ: Uh, or like just the, I don't know, popular tri love triangles in the early 2000s.

[1:17:15] ANDREW Learn: I don't know what they had.

[1:17:16] Asmaâ: Uh, and I think they would capitalize on the trend of like, you know, the TikTok musicals, like how people in TikTok have been like, what if this was a musical?

[1:17:23] ANDREW Learn: "Bridgerton."

[1:17:24] Asmaâ: Yeah, I think they would do that.

[1:17:25] ANDREW Learn: Like they have, they would have the characters like write songs about their favorite Remy The Redouille, their favorite thing, and I don't know what who would write about what, but I think that would have been a thing.

[1:17:38] Asmaâ: They would say Marley would make a Hunger Games musical.

[1:17:42] ANDREW Learn: Yes.

[1:17:42] Asmaâ: I needed that.

[1:17:43] ANDREW Learn: She was.

[1:17:49] Asmaâ: Exactly.

[1:17:50] ANDREW Learn: Uh, I'm shocked that they didn't have comedy songs when like they had Darren Criss right there.

[1:17:55] Asmaâ: They never did type of comedy songs.

[1:17:57] ANDREW Learn: I was like, what is this?

[1:17:59] Asmaâ: The closest thing that I can recall is like the Kristen Chenoweth April Rhodes like original musical.

[1:18:06] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:18:07] Asmaâ: Um, nice to meet you. Have I slept with you? It's 10 a.m. and I'm drunk.

[1:18:12] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:18:13] Asmaâ: I love that woman.

[1:18:16] ANDREW Learn: Uh, so yeah.

[1:18:17] Asmaâ: By the way, I was like speaking to my sister and like because like she's 14 and like her English teacher just started making them watch Glee.

[1:18:23] ANDREW Learn: I don't know why.

[1:18:23] Asmaâ: Uh, and like that, like my sister, her like English teacher, she was like, "Yeah, she makes us watch Glee once a month."

[1:18:31] ANDREW Learn: I was like, why?

[1:18:32] Asmaâ: She was like, "She really likes it. She thinks it's good for us."

[1:18:36] ANDREW Learn: I was like, okay if you say so.

[1:18:37] Asmaâ: Sure.

[1:18:40] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:18:41] Asmaâ: In my teacher era.

[1:18:44] ANDREW Learn: Yeah, and like, and I was like, because she hasn't seen a lot of episodes, but I told her I was like, "Darren Criss isn't Glee."

[1:18:49] Asmaâ: She was like, okay.

[1:18:49] ANDREW Learn: And then she watched the Mike's Mike video.

[1:18:51] Asmaâ: And she was like, "Wait, when you said Darren Criss isn't Glee, I didn't think you meant he was in Glee."

[1:18:55] ANDREW Learn: I was like, what do you think I meant?

[1:18:56] Asmaâ: He was like, you know, he was in Glee.

[1:18:57] ANDREW Learn: She's like, yeah, but he was in all of Glee.

[1:18:59] Asmaâ: I was like, yeah, it was. What do you think he was famous for?

[1:19:03] ANDREW Learn: She was like, "A Very Potter Musical."

[1:19:08] Asmaâ: That blew up, skyrocketed him to fame.

[1:19:11] ANDREW Learn: I was like, yes, that is what he was famous for.

[1:19:14] Asmaâ: Anyway, so yeah, comedy songs. They should have done that.

[1:19:16] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[1:19:18] Asmaâ: And uh, Harry Styles songs, obviously.

[1:19:21] ANDREW Learn: Um, Charlie Booth.

[1:19:23] Asmaâ: They would have done that.

[1:19:24] ANDREW Learn: Let's switch.

[1:19:25] Asmaâ: Uh, Mika, I think they should have done Mika songs.

[1:19:28] ANDREW Learn: I don't know who you.

[1:19:29] Asmaâ: You know Mika?

[1:19:29] ANDREW Learn: Mika, Mika, um, I could be better.

[1:19:35] Asmaâ: Exactly.

[1:19:35] ANDREW Learn: We are golden.

[1:19:37] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:19:37] ANDREW Learn: Right?

[1:19:38] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:19:38] ANDREW Learn: So yeah, I think they should have done that.

[1:19:40] Asmaâ: Especially like the, there was that song you just sang, the violet sky, like blew up on TikTok.

[1:19:45] ANDREW Learn: So I can think they're gonna be like, I was like, yeah, I think that like the Whiffen, like the Yale Glee Club, the Whiffen poofs.

[1:19:52] Asmaâ: The Waffle Toots?

[1:19:53] ANDREW Learn: They might be.

[1:19:54] Asmaâ: Is that the Waffle though?

[1:19:55] ANDREW Learn: I think what they were called in Glee.

[1:19:59] Asmaâ: Because the waffle, wait, I'm confused.

[1:20:02] ANDREW Learn: But they were in Glee and they played the Waffle Toots.

[1:20:05] Asmaâ: They're called the Whiffen Puffs in real life.

[1:20:08] ANDREW Learn: But they do the cover of whatever that song is called.

[1:20:12] Asmaâ: Wait, what is that song called?

[1:20:14] ANDREW Learn: I could be red, but it's uh, "Grace Kelly."

[1:20:17] Asmaâ: Um, yeah.

[1:20:19] ANDREW Learn: And it was very good.

[1:20:20] Asmaâ: Oh, okay.

[1:20:21] ANDREW Learn: I didn't, I didn't, I didn't remember.

[1:20:23] Asmaâ: I wrote, I wrote, did they ever? I don't know, but I think they would do it.

[1:20:26] ANDREW Learn: So yeah.

[1:20:27] Asmaâ: Uh, I think they would then, uh, uh, Selena Quintanilla song, maybe like in one of the bum bum.

[1:20:33] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:20:34] Asmaâ: Yeah, exactly.

[1:20:34] ANDREW Learn: They should be the, like Santana would have killed.

[1:20:37] Asmaâ: Slay.

[1:20:38] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:20:38] Asmaâ: I think I'm surprised they never did an Elvis episode, which I wrote before the movie came out, by the way, just so you know.

[1:20:44] ANDREW Learn: Just so nobody recorded show.

[1:20:46] Asmaâ: I am, yeah.

[1:20:48] ANDREW Learn: Before Elvis was a thing.

[1:20:50] Asmaâ: Okay.

[1:20:53] ANDREW Learn: Before people knew who the man was.

[1:20:55] Asmaâ: Exactly.

[1:20:55] ANDREW Learn: But I'm shocked they never did an Elvis episode.

[1:20:57] Asmaâ: Like they just like.

[1:20:58] ANDREW Learn: Wait, the only thing.

[1:20:59] Asmaâ: No, they did two Elvis songs.

[1:21:01] ANDREW Learn: "Blue Christmas" and "A Little Less Conversation" in Spanish.

[1:21:04] Asmaâ: A little less conversation on that.

[1:21:07] ANDREW Learn: Exactly.

[1:21:07] Asmaâ: So they should have done that.

[1:21:08] ANDREW Learn: Should have had more Hairspray songs.

[1:21:10] Asmaâ: That'd be good.

[1:21:11] ANDREW Learn: Okay.

[1:21:11] Asmaâ: I like Hairspray.

[1:21:12] ANDREW Learn: Miss Baltimore Crabs.

[1:21:14] Asmaâ: More storyline songs. Like I said, I really love storyline songs.

[1:21:18] ANDREW Learn: Like, uh, like "Matilda" from Harry Styles or something like that.

[1:21:21] Asmaâ: Uh, that would be good.

[1:21:22] ANDREW Learn: Ooh.

[1:21:23] Asmaâ: Yeah.

[1:21:23] ANDREW Learn: Like I like, I don't, I know they don't fit, but I like a storyline.

[1:21:27] Asmaâ: Um, or like more, I don't know, like, uh, there've been a lot of songs that have been blowing up with like specific name drops, like "Jesse's Girl" a bit, but like, uh, specific I think they would have done that, like invent a character specifically for like name dropping them.

[1:21:40] ANDREW Learn: Matilda.

[1:21:41] Asmaâ: Heather.

[1:21:41] ANDREW Learn: I wish I were Heather.

[1:21:43] Asmaâ: Exactly.

[1:21:43] ANDREW Learn: That's in my list.

[1:21:43] Asmaâ: Heather and stuff like that.

[1:21:45] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:21:46] Asmaâ: Um, and like, you know how there's been a lot of like bad bitch songs.

[1:21:50] ANDREW Learn: Um, like, uh, "You Were Good" for the plot line or stuff like that.

[1:21:54] Asmaâ: People, they be, they've been doing those songs.

[1:21:57] ANDREW Learn: Uh, with the pop punk Renaissance, they would do maybe one or two pop ox songs.

[1:22:02] Asmaâ: I think they do "Decode" by Paramore, please.

[1:22:05] ANDREW Learn: Yeah.

[1:22:06] Asmaâ: Uh, I'm so I'm shocked they never did a Halloween episode.

[1:22:08] ANDREW Learn: I think they should have done a Halloween episode with like spooky, silly songs, like I don't know, "The Monster Mash" or "The Goo Goo Muck," now that you know, once they came out.

[1:22:17] Asmaâ: Right, yeah.

[1:22:19] ANDREW Learn: Or like "Calling All the Monsters" with Andrew.

[1:22:21] Asmaâ: I'm shocked you didn't know the songs, but it's really good.

[1:22:23] ANDREW Learn: "Calling of the Monster," this is Descendants.

[1:22:26] Asmaâ: No, it's, it's, it's a China Ann McClain song came out, like I think in 2009, literally.

[1:22:31] ANDREW Learn: And like it's, it's just a Disney song that it's iconic to my people.

[1:22:36] Asmaâ: Okay.

[1:22:37] ANDREW Learn: I'm sorry that I disappointed you.

[1:22:39] Asmaâ: No, it's okay.

[1:22:39] ANDREW Learn: I'm kidding.

[1:22:40] Asmaâ: I fully like every time you say something about like I know something and you guys never know it.

[1:22:45] ANDREW Learn: I'm like, we have an age difference.

[1:22:47] Asmaâ: It's okay.

[1:22:48] ANDREW Learn: I understand.

[1:22:50] Asmaâ: I'm not, yeah.

[1:22:51] ANDREW Learn: Oh, like I feel like "Werewolf of London" would have worked in Halloween episode instead of just like, it was just like really random, and I was just like, I like the song, but you didn't do anything with it.

[1:23:02] Asmaâ: Or like, you know, uh, uh, Billy Eilish would have worked there, like a barrier friend, mash up bad guy.

[1:23:09] ANDREW Learn: I don't know.

[1:23:09] Asmaâ: Okay, so I'll stop even though I have more, but I understand time is.
