[0:43] Alayna: Yeah, my cup, um, absolute opposite of runneth over with some.

[0:49] Andrew and Alayna: No, she's like very, very half empty, half full, like mostly empty.

[0:55] Alayna: There's no even positive way to spin that.

[0:56] Andrew and Alayna: It's empty.

[0:57] Alayna: Yeah, it's like no no no, like I'm not I noticed scantily clad, she's um yeah she's snooze, basically.

[1:06] Andrew and Alayna: She's wearing the like those jeans that are just a thong, a jong.

[1:11] Alayna: There's literally, it's like I I don't even like I don't even want to know what's I feel like I have a memory of like what songs I have left in my cup, but um I wanted to check earlier and I was like, no, I want to be surprised, you know.

[1:25] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, have a genuine reaction to what comes out of here.

[1:28] Alayna: I'm scared.

[1:28] Andrew and Alayna: I'm so scared.

[1:30] Alayna: And it's the silliest thing too, because it's like we obviously have had like this somewhere we go sometimes bit since I think truly like episode three.

[1:40] Andrew and Alayna: For real years!

[1:43] Alayna: And it's like, okay, it like Glod just loves to edge us and is just like no no no no no.

[1:50] Andrew and Alayna: We're gonna wait until I firmly believe that it will be like the last song pulled fully, you know.

[1:56] Alayna: Edging.

[1:57] Andrew and Alayna: Edging.

[1:57] Alayna: God is edging us.

[1:58] Andrew and Alayna: Glod, not God.

[1:59] Alayna: Glod.

[2:00] Andrew and Alayna: God does not exist with a glod.

[2:02] Alayna: God wouldn't do that to us.

[2:04] Andrew and Alayna: Glod would edge us though.

[2:06] Alayna: Oh god Glod.

[2:09] Andrew and Alayna: Um no, you can see my blanket.

[2:12] Alayna: Oh, I don't want you to be able to see my laundry in this room.

[2:15] Andrew and Alayna: Okay, audio medium.

[2:16] Alayna: So um Alison joined the the Zoom call and um she has like the what does the fox say?

[2:23] Andrew and Alayna: Um a still from that performance as her Zoom background.

[2:28] Alayna: Because why?

[2:29] Andrew and Alayna: Um because there's like three piles, giant piles of dirty laundry behind me.

[2:37] Alayna: And um I don't know how that happens.

[2:39] Andrew and Alayna: Like I liter How do I wear this much clothing?

[2:44] Alayna: I I do three loads of laundry every single week.

[2:48] Andrew and Alayna: I'm just one girl.

[2:49] Alayna: I am just one girl.

[2:51] Andrew and Alayna: How wait, how are you doing three?

[2:53] Alayna: That does not make sense.

[2:55] Andrew and Alayna: I don't know.

[2:56] Alayna: Cause I'm wearing I'm wearing like work clothes, and then I wear going out clothes, like being a human clothes, and then I wear pajama clothes every single day.

[3:07] Andrew and Alayna: But I reuse pajamas.

[3:10] Alayna: I've been wearing this sweatshirt for five nights now.

[3:13] Andrew and Alayna: Please don't ask how it smells.

[3:14] Alayna: It's gross.

[3:15] Andrew and Alayna: But how how do I have so much I don't understand the logistics of this?

[3:22] Alayna: I think it must be because my towels are in there.

[3:26] Andrew and Alayna: Maybe.

[3:27] Alayna: How many towels do you have?

[3:29] Andrew and Alayna: I'm not proud of the amount of towels that I have.

[3:31] Alayna: I have like five different towels.

[3:33] Andrew and Alayna: Oh, I have three.

[3:35] Alayna: And I'm like, I think I need more.

[3:37] Andrew and Alayna: I do be just like, I wash my towels like way too much, I think.

[3:43] Alayna: Oh, really?

[3:44] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[3:45] Alayna: Because I I use them once and I'm like, no, they're gross.

[3:49] Andrew and Alayna: They're dumb.

[3:49] Alayna: This is the opposite of Nick from New Girl who's like, why would I wash my towel?

[3:54] Andrew and Alayna: My towel washes me.

[3:56] Alayna: Why are you referencing New Girl on this call on a Glee Podcast?

[4:02] Andrew and Alayna: Um there's no towel references on Glee.

[4:05] Alayna: It's a moist towelette fin.

[4:08] Andrew and Alayna: There we go.

[4:09] Alayna: Um wait, and also audio medium, not to call you out, but like I literally asked you before the zoom call, and I was like, wait, can you just like show me what your room she won't even show me what the room looks like to me.

[4:20] Andrew and Alayna: No.

[4:21] Alayna: This is how bad it is.

[4:26] Alayna: I'm just realizing I have a Zoom call scheduled for tomorrow night, and it's not glee related, but I am gonna log in with this account, and this background is gonna be.

[4:37] Andrew and Alayna: Don't act like you'd be doing work calls.

[4:39] Alayna: I know exactly what you're doing on on this Zoom call.

[4:42] Andrew and Alayna: This is not a like, oh my god, I'm so embarrassed.

[4:47] Alayna: Like, I can't believe that all my leeks are behind me.

[4:51] Andrew and Alayna: No, it's just a it's a friend call.

[9:07] Andrew and Alayna: We're really loving these live episodes.

[9:09] Alayna: We did a Patreon um exclusive live episode um release, I guess earlier this month.

[9:16] Andrew and Alayna: Um and uh it was just so much fun.

[9:19] Alayna: You guys, I keep on saying it truly hilarious.

[9:22] Andrew and Alayna: The most hilarious people I know.

[9:24] Alayna: I was iconic.

[9:27] Andrew and Alayna: Um, so yeah, yeah.

[9:29] Alayna: This episode that um will be happening uh six days after the premiere of our 111th episode.

[9:37] Andrew and Alayna: Really creepy crazy.

[9:39] Alayna: So insane, insane.

[9:41] Andrew and Alayna: I can't wait.

[9:42] Alayna: Oh my gosh.

[9:43] Andrew and Alayna: And now it's my my turn to um say my bit.

[9:47] Alayna: Okay, so I saw that actually Elias saw that Diana Agron was trending on Twitter um this past weekend, two weekends ago, if you're a beautiful girl reading this now, and um uh upon further examination, found out that it was because Taylor Swift was singing the song Wonderland um on her errors tour.

[10:09] Andrew and Alayna: It was a surprise song, as as I um I found out.

[10:13] Alayna: Um she sings two surprise songs every night.

[10:16] Andrew and Alayna: It's awesome.

[10:17] Alayna: And Wonderland was one of them, and so uh hence Diana Agron trended, and I was like, I asked the Gleeks, hi.

[10:23] Andrew and Alayna: Can you send a voicemail um explaining the connection here?

[10:29] Alayna: Why?

[10:29] Andrew and Alayna: Uh I don't know uh much of anything of about this.

[10:32] Alayna: So this is my first time listening.

[10:34] Andrew and Alayna: Do you wait what?

[10:36] Alayna: I don't know the connection.

[10:38] Andrew and Alayna: I love the song Wonderland, it's very good off of 1989, but I don't I don't know the Diana Agron of it all.

[10:45] Alayna: I feel like a bad Swifty, but I do shift s shift.

[10:49] Andrew and Alayna: I do ship Swift Gron.

[10:50] Alayna: Don't shift it as well.

[10:52] Andrew and Alayna: Shift into to overdrive for Swift Gron.

[10:56] Alayna: Okay.

[10:57] Danielle: Hello, Allison and Andrew Danielle here, she her pronouns.

[11:03] Danielle: Um I am calling in to weigh in about the whole Swift Gron Wonderland song question.

[11:13] Danielle: So as far as I'm concerned, if you are on the side of Ryan Murphy's internet, um, about the whole Galer lore, you well know that Taylor Swift is probably most definitely not confirmed, but like also kind of confirmed.

[11:30] Danielle: At least some flavor of queer.

[11:33] Andrew and Alayna: Um she hasn't said anything explicitly, but if you read into everything like all galers do, it's there.

[11:42] Danielle: Um so the song Wonderland, obviously, is an allusion to Alice in Wonderland.

[11:49] Danielle: And we all know that Miss Diana Agron loves Alice in Wonderland, and she even has the Alice in Wonderland tattoo that has since been removed.

[11:59] Danielle: So people have a lot of speculation about that.

[12:02] Danielle: But she had a tattoo on her, I think like rib area, um that said we're all mad here.

[12:10] Danielle: The well known line from Alice in Wonderland.

[12:14] Danielle: So the just the lyrics alone in that song sort of allude to her.

[12:22] Danielle: Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?

[12:24] Danielle: Diana Agron has beautiful green eyes.

[12:27] Danielle: Um and something too that a lot of people think about is that Taylor is not very secretive in her relationships with men.

[12:37] Danielle: Um but a lot of her songs are about sort of um keeping things secret, not wanting to tell anybody, this is just for us sort of relationships.

[12:50] Danielle: Um which a lot of people have theorized that those songs specifically are about the women she's either been with or like been with in some sort of scenario.

[13:03] Danielle: Um so there was there's the line in Wonderland as well that um there are strangers talking, um, or there were whispers and talking to her just screaming a whole like we were trying to keep it secret, and then people found out about us, and now we're mad about it because we don't want to come out, and but people are making us come out, and so then they ended their relationship.

[13:27] Danielle: Um there are all sorts of lyrics in there that I'm sure other Greeks will tell you about, but um, those are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.

[13:36] Danielle: Um I've taken up enough of your time.

[13:38] Andrew and Alayna: Um, but love you, bye.

[13:41] Alayna: I love you, Danielle.

[13:43] Andrew and Alayna: You're obsessed with the I'm obsessed.

[13:46] Alayna: Not your uh I'm obsessed with you.

[13:46] Andrew and Alayna: With you.

[13:51] Alayna: Um I hear you, I recognize you.

[13:56] Andrew and Alayna: Okay.

[13:57] Alayna: I'm going.

[13:59] Andrew and Alayna: I see what you're doing and that what you're trying to say. However, I can take just as much, just as much evidence from this song and turn it around and prove that it's about when Harry Styles and Taylor Swift committed vehicular manslaughter.

[14:18] Alayna: Wait, wait. Is that true?

[14:20] Andrew and Alayna: They killed somebody in a car.

[14:22] Alayna: Yes.

[14:23] Andrew and Alayna: Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

[14:27] Alayna: Shut up. That is about vehicular manslaughter.

[14:30] Andrew and Alayna: This song is a good thing. Isn't that a popular theory? Where did you get this from?

[14:34] Alayna: It is. It is. It is. It is. It is.

[14:36] Andrew and Alayna: Okay. Green eyes. Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?

[14:39] Alayna: Who has green eyes?

[14:40] Andrew and Alayna: Harry Styles. Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Don't drive very fast. Don't rush into speed.

[14:49] Alayna: Exactly. I felt your arms twisting around me.

[14:52] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, you shouldn't have been doing that because that creates a dangerous driving situation.

[14:58] Alayna: Okay. We found Wonderland. You and I got lost in it.

[15:02] Andrew and Alayna: Okay. Uh-huh.

[15:03] Alayna: Okay, okay. All the whispers turned to talking and talking turned to screams.

[15:09] Andrew and Alayna: Screaming when somebody's about to be hit by a car.

[15:12] Alayna: Oh my god. Stop it.

[15:15] Andrew and Alayna: So so scary.

[15:18] Alayna: Um, yeah, life was never worse, but never better because they committed a crime, but they loved each other.

[15:26] Andrew and Alayna: Hmm. I really love this, what you're saying right now, but I more importantly want to get behind Danielle and all the Swift Groners. Um, you can tell me anything about these two women.

[15:42] Alayna: Um, just being romantically involved in any uh shape or form. I mean, come on, like Diana Agron herself. Uh her character on the Hit Fox Show Glee. I don't know if you ever saw it. Her character was involved in a car crash as well.

[15:55] Andrew and Alayna: This is true.

[15:56] Alayna: Okay, so there's not vehicular manslaughter.

[15:58] Andrew and Alayna: No, no, no.

[15:59] Alayna: Yeah.

[15:59] Andrew and Alayna: But a big old car.

[16:01] Alayna: Big old car crash that led to a hiatus. Um but yeah, I don't know. I mean, like, yeah, Harry Styles has green eyes too, but more famously, Diana Agron does.

[16:13] Andrew and Alayna: She always she I she really invented that green eyes.

[16:16] Alayna: Diana Agron invented green eyes. You heard it here first, everybody.

[16:21] Andrew and Alayna: I I mean, like, I mean, you you get a you get a flash of Diana's eyes. Um, and then you're like, wow, no, like all the other colors removed from the world. And so, like, yeah, it would make sense for her to kind of like write lyrics about her beautiful green eyes.

[16:36] Alayna: Diana. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe maybe I I could be really like swayed either way.

[16:42] Andrew and Alayna: Um, I love this theory about it being about vehicular um man that they so they killed somebody.

[16:47] Alayna: Vehicular is a hard word to say. Yeah, they killed somebody in a car.

[16:51] Andrew and Alayna: Why so many celebrities like kill people with cars and like it's kind of crazy.

[16:56] Alayna: I know, and then other celebrities hit them with their skis.

[17:00] Andrew and Alayna: Okay. Okay, finally, bringing it back to Glee. Gwenneth. Gwenneth looking at you.

[17:05] Alayna: Looking at you directly in the eyes. Um, yeah, I don't, I don't know. Weigh in, weigh in in the comments down below. Um I have so many are you saying why have so many celebrities committed crimes?

[17:19] Andrew and Alayna: No, I'm saying like uh Or just crashed hurt people with their cars. I'm just like thinking of like uh Caitlin Jenner is the obvious one that comes to mind.

[17:27] Alayna: Caitlin Jenner crashed her car?

[17:29] Andrew and Alayna: Caitlin Jenner killed someone with her car.

[17:31] Alayna: Oh my god, when like I think this was like right when um Caitlin Jenner came out, and like I guess that was like what, 2000 like 15? And it was like it was so crazy that I I might be getting it wrong, but I think it was like 2015 while like Caitlin Jenner was having her huge moment um and she also killed someone with her car.

[17:54] Alayna: Um God. Um and then also didn't didn't um Mr. Mosby kill someone.

[17:59] Andrew and Alayna: Yes.

[18:01] Alayna: I feel like he got in a big old car accident.

[18:04] Andrew and Alayna: I remember that, Mr. Mosby, Mr. Mosby.

[18:06] Alayna: Huh.

[18:07] Andrew and Alayna: So Mr. Mosby, Taylor Swift, Caitlin Jenner, Harry Styles.

[18:11] Alayna: Yep, they've all killed somebody in a car.

[18:16] Andrew and Alayna: Yep.

[18:17] Alayna: Diana. Should we just keep driving?

[18:19] Andrew and Alayna: Should we know Harry Styles? You should stop.

[18:22] Alayna: I didn't know about the tattoo of it all. So Danielle, this is very um.

[18:25] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, she got a tattoo removed. I guess because I don't know. I listened to the song right before this recording started, and then like honestly.

[18:32] Alayna: We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it.

[18:37] Andrew and Alayna: I was like expecting like some sort of I didn't even realize it was like a 1989, which 1989 has sort of has like this sort of sound to it where it's like yes, booby poppy boop boopity boop.

[18:47] Alayna: Yeah.

[18:48] Andrew and Alayna: Um and like if anything, Diana is like, and we've said it before, she's like folklore evermore coded, right?

[18:56] Alayna: Diana, like that's oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[18:58] Andrew and Alayna: Like I wanted like a kind of like um like a slow Wonderland vibe for her.

[19:05] Alayna: I don't know. Well, I think if you listened to the uh version of Wonderland that she performed live, you would like it.

[19:15] Andrew and Alayna: Because it's just her and a guitar, baby.

[19:17] Alayna: Mm-hmm. Beautiful.

[19:19] Andrew and Alayna: Wow. Before fucking somebody like Jack Antinoff got on it and was like, you need pop. Pop pop pop pop pop. Pop pop pop pop pop.

[21:06] Alayna: For once. So I was very young when Glee started. I was like six when Glee started, so I was very young. But I first got into it. My mom, I was a big fan of Michael Jackson when I was younger. My mom recorded the Michael Jackson Glee episode.

[21:22] Andrew and Alayna: Nice.

[21:23] Alayna: So I watched that. And I said, I'm obsessed. What is this? What is this melody? I'm obsessed.

[21:26] Andrew and Alayna: What is this melody?

[21:30] Alayna: Yes.

[21:31] Andrew and Alayna: So I got Netflix. And I watched it. Loved it, loved it, loved it. And then I watched the season six live.

[21:38] Alayna: Okay.

[21:40] Andrew and Alayna: Great. Great. That is honestly powerful.

[21:44] Alayna: For season six to be the only season.

[21:46] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[21:47] Alayna: Yeah. It's like, of course, that's we season six that I watch live. Except when I was in like fifth grade.

[21:54] Andrew and Alayna: And you voted, and you voted, what a beautiful segue. You voted for um a season six Myro, as I just mentioned, over a season one Artolo. Um, and I gotta be honest, not to call you out so early on the episode, but like people people were big time mad with that with that choice.

[22:13] Alayna: Um I made that choice too.

[22:15] Andrew and Alayna: You weren't alone. Defend it. Defend the the My Rolo Artolo of it all.

[22:21] Alayna: Listen, I listened back to the episode and I said, hmm, I feel like people are gonna be mad at me. And they were, and they were rightfully so. I like listened back to the Artie song after, and I was like, mmm, I really regret that choice. Except I don't, except I don't now.

[22:36] Andrew and Alayna: Don't do it.

[22:37] Alayna: Yeah, I don't now, because I realized I I love Myron. Like I I will I gave Artie too much shit in that episode when I was on. My fault, my fault, my fault, obviously. But Myron, my homeboy. Love it, yeah. King King King.

[22:54] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah. I love that. It's it, and I said this in the episode. Like, it is season six camp. Like it's taking. It feels like it's taking it back to season one, season two era. And I really, really truly love it. I mean, it's uh a one in a million song and arty solos, we get a bunch. So I'm not I'm not truly worried about it. And we only got one My Rolo.

[23:24] Alayna: Exactly. Exactly. I want we have more Myron on the second round than we have Rory. I'm so mad about that.

[23:32] Andrew and Alayna: Wait, what's going on?

[23:34] Alayna: Wait, speaking of, okay, wait, let's get into hot takes. I love Rory. You guys have been shitting on him through the first glacket.

[23:43] Andrew and Alayna: I just put a Rorolo through.

[23:45] Alayna: Uh you guys literally last week. Take care of yourself over um all or nothing.

[23:51] Andrew and Alayna: I didn't throw it.

[23:53] Alayna: Yeah. I also was looking at the glacket literally like 10 minutes before I killed another call and I said, Oh my god, I didn't think that went through. Because you guys never put Rory solos through.

[24:03] Andrew and Alayna: Wait, am I the only oh maybe it didn't go through? Maybe I'm just saved dream.

[24:08] Alayna: Okay. I just saw it.

[24:10] Andrew and Alayna: Okay.

[24:11] Alayna: You saw it go through you saw it in the in the second round club.

[24:14] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, yeah.

[24:15] Alayna: Oh. Interesting.

[24:17] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah. Okay, wait, wait, wait.

[24:19] Alayna: Okay. Um, so I mean, we put we put that Rorolo through. Wait, so what Rorolo is the best for you?

[24:26] Andrew and Alayna: I like what's it being green?

[24:29] Alayna: Being green. Okay, I love it. I love every arty. I love every Rory solo, so.

[24:35] Andrew and Alayna: Damian McGinty head.

[24:37] Alayna: Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's also king. Love him.

[24:41] Andrew and Alayna: Mm-hmm. Um, wait, so what other non-Rory hot takes do you have about Glackett?

[24:46] Alayna: Um, I was looking. I have a list. I have notes. Okay. Um We Are Young versus Trouty Mouth. People are saying.

[24:53] Andrew and Alayna: People are saying this.

[24:57] Alayna: Uh Mean versus When I Get Too Alone.

[25:00] Andrew and Alayna: And you're a Mean?

[25:01] Alayna: Uh-huh. I love Mean.

[25:03] Andrew and Alayna: Okay. Interesting.

[25:05] Alayna: I do they Taylor Swift just performed Mean as one of the secret songs. Um, and I was like, I kind of like got back into Mean. Because I think it's kind of a chew-y, kind of a cringe song, period, whether it's being sung by Taylor or anybody else.

[25:23] Andrew and Alayna: But I was listening to it and I was like, no, this is cute. And when she sings it on the Grammys, I'm just like, oh. And she does the lyric change. I'm like, oh okay. And then you get to Puck and Beast, and it's like.

[25:35] Alayna: Yeah.

[25:36] Andrew and Alayna: I'm like, I just love the song. It is so good. I really like it. I think that I don't know. I I I think that if Glee didn't cover it, I would be like, Mean is such a stupid little silly song.

[25:49] Alayna: It is a stupid, silly silly song.

[25:51] Andrew and Alayna: Um and it's like, I don't know. But like I I I I just I like the the the puck and beast cover. I think it's okay. I think it's good. Uh I think they're both fine. The original and the glee cover. So I'm with you, Alayna.

[26:05] Alayna: Mm-hmm. Okay. When are we getting Mean Taylor's version? When is Sparks Fly coming out? Speak now. Fuck. That's just a general question to the Swifties. Please. Please, Diana Agron respond to my DMs. I know you know.

[26:21] Andrew and Alayna: I'm not a Swift D.

[26:23] Alayna: That's cool.

[26:24] Andrew and Alayna: Oh. Okay, okay. But you still you love a you like a mean.

[26:26] Alayna: Yeah. Uh-huh.

[26:27] Andrew and Alayna: Um, there's a song that I thought like you guys made the right decision that I'm mad about. So, like silly love songs versus Americano Dance Again. You guys made the right choice, but I'm sad to see silly love songs going home. R.I.P.

[26:40] Alayna: Okay. RIPs Born is Aries versus Vogue. So sad thing, Vogue Go Home. Love Vogue.

[26:46] Andrew and Alayna: Oh yeah. I says this in your DMs, but I think Madonna episode is one of the best episodes.

[26:52] Alayna: So good. So good, so good. Um, Cherish Cherish versus Take Me to Church. I I know. I know. I like I totally agree. Like Take Me to Church absolutely should be taking it to the second round. Exactly. But like I think that I effectively convinced Danny Shea that um Cherish Cherish is just that beautiful and special.

[27:17] Danielle: And Noah Guthrie's vocals didn't stand a chance, unfortunately.

[27:21] Andrew and Alayna: Uh, I really like "Copacabana."

[27:24] Alayna: Ooh.

[27:26] Danielle: A Fanalo?

[27:27] Andrew and Alayna: Fanilo out here?

[27:29] Danielle: "Copacabana" was against "ABC."

[27:33] Alayna: I'm okay.

[27:35] Danielle: Sorry.

[27:38] Andrew and Alayna: And my last one is "Our Day Will Come" for this musting stally.

[27:43] Alayna: Wow, your "Our Day Will Come," Ted.

[27:46] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, uh-huh.

[27:47] Danielle: Big one, big one.

[27:48] Alayna: Like, for what reason?

[27:52] Andrew and Alayna: I don't know if it's like it's because like they're getting married and I like them. But I just it hits a soft spot in my heart.

[28:00] Alayna: Okay.

[28:01] Danielle: You but do you agree that it's elevator music?

[28:04] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[28:05] Alayna: Yeah.

[28:05] Danielle: Okay.

[28:06] Andrew and Alayna: But it's also like it just hits it hits a spot in my heart, and then I'm like, it broke my heart.

[28:10] Alayna: Sometimes elevator music slaps.

[28:12] Danielle: That's what I'm saying.

[28:13] Andrew and Alayna: Every playlist needs at least one song that's played in an elevator. Is what I've always said.

[28:18] Alayna: I've always said that.

[28:20] Andrew and Alayna: Um, and "Our Day Will Come" is that song for many a playlist. Um, including our losers playlist now available on Spotify.

[28:30] Alayna: Um, that's incredible.

[28:32] Danielle: I feel like a lot of your takes are uh yes. Like you're right. You're right.

[28:38] Andrew and Alayna: And I'm going like at this point, I'm going through whenever I open my Glacket document to make the polls, the document starts at the top. So I'm seeing competitions from episode seven, episode eight, and I'm just like, who even were we? What are even these songs?

[28:56] Alayna: What even are these songs?

[28:57] Andrew and Alayna: Like, I don't I still I still we literally talked about this two weeks ago, and there's a song called "Hold On."

[29:07] Danielle: Yeah.

[29:08] Andrew and Alayna: And I cannot hear it in my head. All I hear is "Hold On" by the Jonas Brothers.

[29:14] Alayna: Don't tell me. Wait, you can get the melody.

[29:19] Danielle: Hold on for one more day.

[29:21] Andrew and Alayna: Okay, that was quick. Someday somebody's gonna no no no no nokay.

[29:27] Alayna: We're gonna listen to that again in the second round.

[29:29] Danielle: I know she's a winner.

[29:31] Andrew and Alayna: She's a winner, she's a track star. Um, but when we go to the remaining songs playlist, and we're wondering, let me make the real like a we uh we have a a sign up that says say they're real.

[29:51] Alayna: Um, what are we hoping comes out of these tonight?

[29:55] Danielle: Obviously, "Somewhere We Go Sometimes."

[29:58] Alayna: Love it, love it, love it.

[29:59] Danielle: Um, it's been too long.

[30:00] Andrew and Alayna: It's been way too long. Uh, I love "New York, New York."

[30:04] Alayna: So excited for that.

[30:06] Danielle: Um, and I was listening to the the remaining songs playlist, and I'm actually really excited for "Three."

[30:12] Andrew and Alayna: Me too!

[30:13] Alayna: Like the last three I love "Three."

[30:16] Danielle: The three of us love "Three."

[30:20] Andrew and Alayna: And then "To Sir With Love."

[30:22] Alayna: Oh, yeah, some tear jerkers out here.

[30:26] Danielle: "Three" and "To Sir With Love." They both made me cry.

[30:29] Andrew and Alayna: God, I don't even know what I would vote for in that competition. Those two songs. I think I would simply just die.

[30:35] Alayna: I would explode.

[30:37] Danielle: Okay.

[30:39] Andrew and Alayna: Are we ready for our first song?

[30:40] Alayna: I'm so ready.

[30:42] Danielle: Okay.

[30:42] Andrew and Alayna: Also, Allison, I love your background.

[30:45] Danielle: Thank you. Um, I have three giant piles of laundry that I have to do that are hidden behind me. So I had to do a visual blog.

[30:53] Andrew and Alayna: Um, okay, I have our first song. This is like so weird because I feel like I could say this is our last season six song, and I would be right.

[31:03] Alayna: I think I stab in the dark. I think I I think I know what it is.

[31:07] Danielle: What is it?

[31:08] Alayna: Is it "You Learn You've Got a Friend"?

[31:10] Andrew and Alayna: No!

[31:11] Alayna: Oh okay.

[31:12] Danielle: Not the last, not the last season six song.

[31:15] Andrew and Alayna: It's better. I'll say it. I'll say it. It's better.

[31:19] Alayna: Wait, what is it?

[31:22] ♪ Musical number: "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" — performed by Sam Evans ♪

[33:39] Danielle: Oh my god.

[33:43] Andrew and Alayna: Oh was it not for you?

[33:47] Alayna: I don't know. I'm still bitter about last week when we did uh "Listen" and everybody was like, okay. And I was that person I was like, I loved it, and everybody else was like, okay.

[33:59] Danielle: Okay. Alayna, what are you thinking about "Arthur's Theme"?

[34:04] Alayna: I have no memory of what this is about, but uh my notes were Cord looks good in this. He looks so good in this. I love Sam's, love Cord. And then this is dairy underrated. This is so good.

[34:18] Andrew and Alayna: Right? It's beautiful. If you had to guess what the context was, Alayna, what do you think's going on?

[34:23] Alayna: I don't know. Rachel's being depressed like she normally is. I don't know.

[34:27] Danielle: Yeah, yeah.

[34:27] Alayna: Yeah, and everybody's trying to get her out of it like they usually are.

[34:30] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[34:31] Alayna: Yeah.

[34:31] Danielle: Everybody didn't have anything better to do than to serve Rachel.

[34:35] Alayna: Exactly.

[34:35] Andrew and Alayna: You are hitting it right on the nose. Right on the nose. Rachel is contemplating going back to New York, going back to school, going back to Broadway, all this stuff. And her friends are singing this song to make her feel better about it.

[34:51] Danielle: And my I have a lot of thoughts about this song. I think it's a beautiful song. It's Arthur's theme for what? Is it from a movie? Is this the Burt Bacharach episode?

[35:01] Andrew and Alayna: Wait, stop. When I remember when they announced, yeah, it is the Burt Bacharach episode. I remember when they announced that they were gonna be singing "Arthur's Theme." And I remember.

[35:09] Alayna: It was good every day when you walk in down the street.

[35:18] Danielle: I'm sorry, but I would have much rather that.

[35:20] Andrew and Alayna: I song.

[35:22] Alayna: Either that or having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card.

[35:27] Danielle: Yeah.

[35:27] Andrew and Alayna: Exactly.

[35:28] Alayna: They would.

[35:29] Danielle: Um, what is this? Is this from a movie?

[35:33] Andrew and Alayna: I think it is from a movie. It's gotta be. It's Burt Bacharach. Um, yeah. I need to look it up.

[35:41] Alayna: Wait, continue to the discourse.

[35:43] Danielle: Um, but my other thought is Andrew, you live in New York City. I've been to New York City many a time.

[35:51] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[35:52] Danielle: When I'm reminiscing on New York City, very rarely do I stare at a miniature Statue of Liberty.

[36:02] Alayna: I Rachel's being so silly in this number. Like, she is like having such a complicated relationship with New York. And that makes me think like, okay, what is the ship name for Rachel in New York? Is it is it new New Yechel or Rue?

[36:22] Andrew and Alayna: It's Rachork.

[36:23] Danielle: Rachel.

[36:25] Alayna: Rachork City. Um, Arthur, Arthur's theme is from the movie Arthur, it appears.

[36:33] Andrew and Alayna: Oh.

[36:34] Alayna: Artvark. Uh gosh. Wait. It's not like hyperlinking on the Wikipedia page, which is annoying. Um Arthur, yeah. So there's a movie called Arthur from 1981. Um, with Liza Minnelli in it. Heard of her? Daughter of Judy Garland from Minnesota.

[36:53] Danielle: Um let me quickly read you the plot of this.

[36:58] Andrew and Alayna: Please.

[36:58] Danielle: Um, wealthy New York City Playboy, Arthur Back.

[37:02] Alayna: Okay.

[37:03] Danielle: They really took Burt Bacharach.

[37:05] Andrew and Alayna: Bacharach.

[37:07] Danielle: Um is perpetually drunk and completely rudderless, dutifully supported by his sharp tongue and quick-witted butler Hobson. Arthur reluctantly prepares to enter into an arranged marriage with heiress Susan Johnson when he meets Linda Marola, played by Liza Minnelli, a waitress from Queens. He falls head over heels in love, but if he backs out of his engagement with Susan, he may lose his fortune.

[37:35] Alayna: Oh, I'm probably not gonna watch that.

[37:40] Danielle: Probably not gonna watch that one, but the lyrics when you get caught between the moon and New York City. Um, the best that you can do is fall in love.

[37:51] Andrew and Alayna: No. The best that I can do is contact NASA.

[37:55] Alayna: Okay, say that.

[37:56] Andrew and Alayna: And be like, get me the fuck down, okay?

[37:59] Danielle: Oh wow.

[38:00] Alayna: Okay, I love this.

[38:02] Andrew and Alayna: That's what I'm saying. I am calling Matthew McConaughey Interstellar, and I'm gonna be like, hey, bud, I'm in the same situation as you. Help me.

[38:11] Alayna: I'm calling Buzz Fucking Lightyear. Like, hey Buzz, you've been up here like 10 trillion times. Let me down.

[38:19] Danielle: The best that you can do is breathe.

[38:21] Andrew and Alayna: Okay, I wanna all I wanna do there is breathe.

[38:25] Alayna: All I want to do in space is be able to fill my lungs with precious, precious oxygen.

[38:30] Danielle: Yeah.

[38:31] Andrew and Alayna: And like, yeah, falling in love would be like a great bonus. But like falling in love with oxygen.

[38:37] Alayna: Sure.

[38:38] Andrew and Alayna: Um, yeah, I don't I don't know. I this is like a very U-coded song, but like it's this does not hit for me. Um I don't know. I listening to this song and the Remaining Songs playlist, it like it I realize that Artie is singing this song, and he's singing about like, hey, like go back to New York and everything, and it's like baby boy, literally.

[39:04] Danielle: How about you? Like, how about you go back to New York?

[39:06] Andrew and Alayna: You literally go to school there, you're currently enrolled. Like, please go back to this place that you sing of. Here's a thought.

[39:14] Alayna: Yeah.

[39:14] Andrew and Alayna: Um, but I don't know. The harmony is beautiful, Noah Guthrie, yeah, King. Um, but yeah.

[39:21] Danielle: I was gonna say, not like other gays. Spencer sounds actually pretty good on this song.

[39:26] Alayna: Oh, okay.

[39:27] Danielle: A rare, not like other gays win.

[39:30] Andrew and Alayna: RARE, not like other gays W.

[39:32] Alayna: Very, very rare. Um, and there's us there's a shot after um Roderick sings that it's like a close-up of Rachel. Come baby girl's completely zoned out.

[39:44] Danielle: I'm I'm surprised that they just like eyes glazed over.

[39:47] Andrew and Alayna: Glazed over, and it's like, oh, people are singing at me again.

[39:50] Alayna: Right.

[39:51] Danielle: Okay. Alayna, how do you feel about season six people considering that it's the only uh season you watched live?

[40:01] Alayna: They're better than season four and five, I think.

[40:04] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, yeah.

[40:04] Danielle: Wow, oh god.

[40:07] Alayna: I I like this I I I obviously have this opinion, but Alayna, like what is it about the season six newbies that um that you love that you prefer?

[40:18] Alayna: I feel like in season four and season five, they were like, you know, like who's Luna Rachel? Who's this new person? And like they didn't really do that as much as in season six, I feel like.

[40:27] Danielle: Yeah, we did not have a not like other gays in season four.

[40:30] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, exactly.

[40:31] Alayna: Exactly, exactly.

[40:32] Danielle: Mm-hmm.

[40:33] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[40:33] Alayna: We needed that representation.

[40:35] Danielle: And we got it. Um, okay, so against "Arthur's Theme."

[40:39] Andrew and Alayna: Popping out of my cup.

[40:40] Alayna: Here we go.

[40:41] Danielle: Poppin' out of the cup.

[40:43] Andrew and Alayna: I'm so excited.

[40:45] Alayna: Oh!

[40:45] Danielle: It's it's a silly one. I think this might actually be a fun competition.

[40:51] Andrew and Alayna: I don't know. Something about it. It's like really buffering hard, so um, this will give it away. It's our final version of this song.

[41:01] Alayna: Oh Lording!

[41:03] Andrew and Alayna: Oh god, I forgot there was another one of these.

[41:11] Alayna: Not yet.

[41:21] Andrew and Alayna: Living in a lonely world.

[41:25] Alayna: She took the midnight train going anyway.

[41:37] Andrew and Alayna: Born in race in South Detroit.

[41:41] Alayna: He took the midnight train going anyway.

[41:56] Andrew and Alayna: A single random smoky room.

[42:00] Alayna: A smell of line and sheep perfume.

[42:03] Andrew and Alayna: Father smile, they can share the night.

[42:06] Alayna: It goes on and on and on out.

[42:11] Andrew and Alayna: Strangers waiting.

[42:15] Alayna: Up and down the body about their shadows.

[42:36] Andrew and Alayna: So in the night don't stop, believe them.

[42:54] Alayna: Hold on to that fear.

[42:57] Andrew and Alayna: Street lights.

[43:20] Alayna: Don't sell.

[43:27] Andrew and Alayna: I kind of it really depends on the day with this one. For me. Um Alayna, what do we think?

[43:36] Alayna: Don't stop believing Rolo version. It's cute, it's sweet, but I'm bored. I need like subway strippers under it to like it's funny.

[43:47] Andrew and Alayna: It's cute, but it's like I've heard this five million different times on the show.

[43:53] Alayna: I know. I need I need that sweet Subway Surfer to be collecting those coins. Please.

[43:59] Andrew and Alayna: I need like an am I the asshole being played over Subway Surfer being played underneath Don't Stop Exactly.

[44:07] Alayna: Another one that I really like is the one with like the the um the knife and it's being like twirl and it hits like the different rainbow.

[44:15] Andrew and Alayna: Oh god, that's good.

[44:16] Alayna: I love that one. That would have really hit here.

[44:19] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[44:20] Alayna: I think I agree. It depends on the day because I think it's yanking at my emotional chains.

[44:26] Andrew and Alayna: Um I was like, oh I couldn't remember. I was like, is this season six? Her auditioning for whatever Broadway show she was trying to get.

[44:38] Alayna: But then I'm like, but then I saw the director of Funny Girl and was like, oh no, this is her Funny Girl edition.

[44:43] Andrew and Alayna: And I saw Corey come in and I was like, oh, this is season four. And I got a little bit emotional there.

[44:49] Alayna: I was like, I like it. I think this is the third best version of this song.

[44:56] Andrew and Alayna: I think it goes the original, regionals, then this one, then the Will Schuster heavy one.

[45:08] Alayna: I mean, I just I swap regionals on top for me.

[45:12] Andrew and Alayna: Originals on top for you.

[45:13] Alayna: Yeah.

[45:15] Andrew and Alayna: Same with you, Elena.

[45:15] Alayna: Yeah. We love that sweet Santana vocal.

[45:18] Andrew and Alayna: I do love that sweet Santana vocal, but there's something about the original that's gonna that the filming, how they put it on film.

[45:25] Alayna: It hits.

[45:26] Andrew and Alayna: That's absolutely fair.

[45:28] Alayna: It's so fair. Um I think this is sweet against a bunch of other things. I might have voted for this.

[45:36] Andrew and Alayna: But I really love Arthur's theme.

[45:39] Alayna: I really, really love it. It's unique. I always am pleasantly surprised when it plays, and I'm like, Arthur's theme.

[45:45] Andrew and Alayna: Like, who the fuck is Arthur?

[45:47] Alayna: And then it's like, when you get God, Big Twin.

[45:49] Andrew and Alayna: And I'm like, oh, okay. I know the words of this one. Turn it up.

[45:54] Alayna: Yeah.

[45:55] Andrew and Alayna: Um, I remember, okay, this is like me being absolutely vulnerable in um admitting something that I'm not proud of.

[46:03] Alayna: But I remember the day that we were together on the day that Cory Monteith died.

[46:07] Andrew and Alayna: Yes.

[46:07] Alayna: And I remember tweeting, I just like tweeted lies. And I remember tweeting, this wasn't a real lie, but I tweeted, oh my God, it's kind of like beautiful that like Corey Montith's first and last performance on Glee was Don't Stop Leaving.

[46:21] Andrew and Alayna: Knowing me, the intellectual Gek that I am, that his first performance was not Don't Stop Leaving.

[46:27] Alayna: It was in fact Can't Fight This Feeling. This is Corey's final episode, which I do think that is sort of beautiful that they do do this song and do do.

[46:38] Andrew and Alayna: Um they do do.

[46:39] Alayna: Um in Corey's final episode. Uh, which is kind of like a really I don't know, in hindsight, kind of beautiful send-off.

[46:45] Andrew and Alayna: Um kind of sweet.

[46:47] Alayna: Kind of sweet.

[46:48] Andrew and Alayna: Actually, I'm not even entirely sure. It's been a minute since I've rewatched this episode, but it might actually be I don't even know what, like, because I know this is the same episode as like um Puck and Finn at college.

[47:01] Alayna: So I'm I don't know if this comes before Fight for Your Right to Party or um after.

[47:06] Andrew and Alayna: So his final performance might have actually been Fight for Your Right to Party.

[47:11] Alayna: Um maybe I'm just lying on all fronts.

[47:14] Andrew and Alayna: You could.

[47:14] Alayna: Uh yeah.

[47:15] Andrew and Alayna: I remember you texted me like a few months ago the the lyric that you really love Leah's pronunciation here.

[47:23] Alayna: Oh, wait.

[47:25] Andrew and Alayna: Oh god, what is it?

[47:26] Alayna: Do you need a refresher?

[47:28] Andrew and Alayna: No, it's it's um uh oh god, what is it?

[47:33] Alayna: It's um what's the li it's about wine?

[47:36] Andrew and Alayna: It's about um Yes.

[47:38] Alayna: It's uh smellowan word.

[47:44] Andrew and Alayna: She makes it smellowan and cheaper.

[47:47] Alayna: I love the way that you spelled it and t smell o w h W A H N smellowan.

[47:55] Andrew and Alayna: Smellowan.

[47:57] Alayna: Um but smellow one.

[48:01] Andrew and Alayna: Smellowan.

[48:02] Alayna: Um that's like front runner for title of episode. No one will know what that means.

[48:06] Andrew and Alayna: Um, but um in every okay every time that I watch this performance as well, after the performance is over, the like one of the producers of Funny Girl is like, Rachel, something happened to you up there.

[48:18] Alayna: Like you were really taken over by something.

[48:21] Andrew and Alayna: Um and I'm like kind of wishing that like in hindsight, like that the the producer would be like, Who's Mercedes?

[48:27] Alayna: And why were you telling her that she was flat?

[48:29] Andrew and Alayna: And why would you tell him Artie to stop running over your like why are you making up with someone named Finn?

[48:35] Alayna: And like who are these people?

[48:37] Andrew and Alayna: Do they live inside of your head?

[48:39] Alayna: You're perfect for Funny Girl. Great.

[48:41] Andrew and Alayna: You make a great funny breast.

[48:43] Alayna: Wait, speaking of, do you think this is like uh they really like tried to sell us on the fact that this was like a perfect song to be sang for a funny girl audition?

[48:52] Andrew and Alayna: What do we think?

[48:53] Alayna: No.

[48:54] Andrew and Alayna: No.

[48:55] Alayna: I mean I I don't know.

[49:00] Andrew and Alayna: I don't know anything about music or vocals or staccato or fucking soprano treble alto bass bitch.

[49:09] Alayna: Same, same.

[49:10] Andrew and Alayna: But you know what I do know is I do know when she goes like when she goes like uh those are different and um I don't think this song sounds like people or who are you now or drump wait Broadway heads in the comments below are you allowed to sing Don't Stop Believing at um Broadway auditions?

[49:37] Alayna: Serious question only for jukebox musicals they're like oh yeah that makes sense here that actually makes sense at uh fucking Sutton Foster Hugh Jackman Music Man.

[49:47] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[49:48] Alayna: Um final note that I'll say I did not need a rollo version of Don't Stop Believing.

[49:53] Andrew and Alayna: No, I didn't need it.

[49:55] Alayna: No, I agree.

[49:56] Andrew and Alayna: Wait, you're voting for Arthur's Arthur's theme.

[49:56] Alayna: Arthur's theme.

[50:00] Andrew and Alayna: I'll do a little pity for Don't Stop Believing.

[50:02] Alayna: You don't have to.

[50:04] Andrew and Alayna: You don't want to.

[50:05] Alayna: No, I think I think I will.

[50:07] Andrew and Alayna: Okay.

[50:10] Alayna: Yeah.

[50:11] Andrew and Alayna: So somebody says it.

[50:14] Alayna: So somebody does.

[50:15] Andrew and Alayna: Okay.

[50:16] Alayna: I have two.

[50:17] Andrew and Alayna: And they're pinched together.

[50:19] Alayna: Oh taking one.

[50:21] Andrew and Alayna: No.

[50:23] Alayna: Oh you're lying.

[50:25] Andrew and Alayna: It's big big boy.

[50:26] Alayna: Audio medium, it's the biggest boy I've ever seen.

[50:31] Andrew and Alayna: Oh my god, Elena.

[50:33] Alayna: There has never been a bigger boy to ever be a hat.

[50:39] Andrew and Alayna: Legend has it. This is the episode where we watch somewhere we goddamn go something.

[50:45] Alayna: Oh my gosh.

[50:46] Andrew and Alayna: Oh god, first style hitting me.

[50:51] Alayna: Wait, wait, wait, who is this?

[50:54] Andrew and Alayna: This is that.

[50:55] Alayna: Don't look at her.

[50:56] Andrew and Alayna: Just look at the difference.

[50:57] Alayna: What is she drinking?

[50:58] Andrew and Alayna: She was drinking a carton of orange juice and it's giant.

[51:01] Alayna: Big old carton of that is a big thing.

[51:05] Andrew and Alayna: Oh god, we got Telly, we got Darren, we got a scarf in the background.

[51:09] Alayna: Okay.

[51:09] Andrew and Alayna: Okay, here we go.

[51:11] Alayna: Oh my god, okay.

[51:12] Andrew and Alayna: I walked across and I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.

[51:23] Alayna: I found the earth beneath my feet.

[51:29] Andrew and Alayna: Sent by the river and it made me complete a simple thing.

[51:37] Alayna: Where have you gone?

[51:40] Andrew and Alayna: I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.

[51:46] Alayna: Don't tell me where you're gonna let me in.

[51:51] Andrew and Alayna: I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

[52:00] Alayna: Why don't we go?

[52:03] Andrew and Alayna: Talk about it somewhere only we know.

[52:09] Alayna: This could be the end of everything.

[52:13] Andrew and Alayna: So why don't we go somewhere only we know Somewhere only we know we're the end of everything.

[52:13] Alayna: Somewhere we go.

[52:13] Andrew and Alayna: Somewhere only we know.

[52:13] Alayna: Somewhere only we know.

[52:50] Andrew and Alayna: Somewhere only we know.

[53:07] Alayna: Wow.

[53:07] Andrew and Alayna: Guys, we found our winner of the docket.

[53:09] Alayna: We can be done now.

[53:10] Andrew and Alayna: We're done with this again.

[53:11] Alayna: Can't we play it again?

[53:13] Andrew and Alayna: Um before I close the screen share, I just have to point out some of the best parts and the most memorable parts from this song are the screen grabs from Tumblr.

[53:29] Alayna: Like Darren.

[53:32] Andrew and Alayna: Darren doing it's that.

[53:35] Alayna: Oh, like audio medium, he's like opening his jaw like huge.

[53:40] Andrew and Alayna: Like jaw like giant, like he's a snake.

[53:43] Alayna: Yeah, yeah.

[53:44] Andrew and Alayna: And he's about to fucking eat a rat.

[53:47] Alayna: Did you just take a screenshot?

[53:49] Andrew and Alayna: Yes, because I'm putting it in the carousel because he looks terrifying.

[53:53] Alayna: That's so good.

[53:54] Andrew and Alayna: Um, there's another part where he's at the piano and he's just like, where the first of many Darren at a piano really in his fields.

[54:05] Alayna: So good.

[54:06] Andrew and Alayna: John Locke looks so good in this song.

[54:12] Alayna: So good.

[54:16] Andrew and Alayna: I will let you both have your discourse, but I'm not.

[54:19] Alayna: No, no, no. I want I really I've been waiting for for you to sort of like pop off.

[54:24] Andrew and Alayna: And so I feel like you should go further if you want to go further right now.

[54:28] Alayna: No, that's what I was about to say. I was like, I know you guys have things to say. I don't care. I'm talking about okay. Oh, this is my platform. Okay, gotcha. This is truly, truly, truly, truly the most important song on this God for fucking sake and show to me. This song not only is it beautiful, but it's the best part of Glee, where it wasn't an artist, and it wasn't a song that was on the radio. It was kind of a song that was off the beaten path and led me to really fall in love with this band Keen, and I love their music. And it became the soundtrack of what was this time period for me. Um, from like 2009 to 2015, very, very formative years for me. That's why I love this song. Um, Darren sounds absolutely fucking amazing on this.

Uh, absolutely no fucking crumbs. Um, it's gorgeous, she's beautiful. Darren looks good. The little curly cue by his face is incredible. Um, I feel the chemistry between Darren and Kurt for fucking real in this scene. Um, Blaine and Kurt. Um, this isn't Blaine performing. This is Darren Chris performing for me. Yeah. Um, he's just Kurt. And he's just Kurt. Yeah. Um, he's Kurtin, he's just Ken. Um, and I love Chris Colfer's hair in this scene. Like all the outfits are deeply embedded in my brain. Oh, yeah. Like the keys around Kurt's neck, Diana's hairbangs, like Finn's puffer jacket. It really like the Santana fit. Like, she's really she takes this. Like, I know that outfit on The Sims. Like, I've seen the outfit.

I love that fit. Yeah. Incredible. Why is there a piano in the courtyard? Why do the Dalton Academy Warblers know exactly how to dance around the courtyard? They've been rehearsing in the middle of the night. They've been rehearsing in the middle of the night. They break into William McKinley High, um, several hours away from their normal school. Um, this is it's beautiful. Like I when I say I love, I'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you. It's just the vibe and the dancey and the scene of it all. But this one is like directly in the heartstrings, I think. Um, more so than Teenage Dream. I'm gonna say it. Like, more than Darren's first song, more than anything else. This is the best Blaine solo on Glee.

This is the best Warbler's song on Glee. This is this is it's gonna, I don't know. Exactly. I don't I'm so scared to say that because we have so many rounds in the bracket left, but this is going to make it very, very far, and we're going to be talking about this song forever. We've been talking about it for two and a half years, and she's a gorgeous, gorgeous girl to me. I think it's a full body sensory experience watching this. Like it takes me back to being in my first car and playing the Warblers album on my fucking CD player because I don't have Bluetooth. It takes me back to being on Tumblr at 3 a.m. trying to log into that one Harry Potter website that everybody was trying to get a fucking passcode for.

And you had to know Harry Potter trivia in order to get a goddamn login. Anyone remember that? Anyone what does that have to do with the song? Because that's just like the general vibe. That's a general vibe. Okay. At this time my parents were renovating my childhood bedroom and putting in hardwood floors instead of carpet. So I referenced I reference this summer all the time and my parents are like why was this like so important to you? But I lived in the basement of my parents' house for like I say a summer it was probably like three weeks. But I had moved all of my stuff out of my childhood bedroom into the basement and I was sleeping on my trundle bed in under this quilt that is like I have a very weird attachment to blankets and not in a way that like oh I've had this blanket I'd call it my goo and I haven't and I have it until it shreds like some girls do.

It's like there are my favorite blankets at my parents' house. I think I have I've told talked about this on this podcast that I have this blue and white blanket at my parents' house that I'm like you cannot get rid of that mom. Um but this I'm just I you're just like I feel like it finally kind of like makes sense. Like I I don't have like like a a similar obvious like a similar attachment to this song, but like for you to be unpacking all of this, I'm like, oh, all of these like sort of references to this song kind of makes sense now. This like goo on the blanket, the trundle bed, the the hardwood floor. I'm like, oh, okay. This is why this MP4! Like this is me in the basement on my trundle bed as the sun is coming.

Like, I'm gonna fucking cry right now. It's the sun coming in through the cellar window, listening to this, watching Glee stitching my little Darren dolls, going to the fucking Hunger Games premiere, and having my best friends like talk shit about girls on Tumblr, and like oh my god. Like, that is what this song is a full full-blown nostalgia experience for me, and that's why it's important to me, and I could say that about anything. I could say that about goddamn fucking lose my breath, and be like, this is why lose my breath is important to me. But people will be like, no, Alison, that's dumb. But people are gonna agree with me because this song is just goddamn plain fucking good. And I think that you've also evoked so many people to I'm not as like not to say that people weren't already streaming this song, right?

But like I think it's just so beautiful. This bit, I feel like it's like saying it's a bit kind of like after everything that you just said really downplays it. But like the fact that like I just think it's so um beautiful, and like I almost want to cry because I'm like, everything that you have done for this song, this feels like so personal, Elena. I'm so sorry to be like having this like heart to heart um with my best friend about like um it's just the way that um and I we've talked about recently off pod, but just like these little things uh that you'll say and these little like they're not again like tangents undermines it, but like these little things that you've birthed out of reactions to these songs are so beautiful, and I know that you're not reading the comments or DMs as much as I am, but like so many people like people like don't give a shit about what I say.

I just be saying things and like everyone's like in one ear out the other. I'm fully convinced. But like Alison Allison will say, like, she'll reference like what flowers of Algernon in last episode, like whatever, and people were like, oh my god, Allison Allison's queen sleigh, love her. Like she is the silliest queen, she is queen of sleigh and everything. And so I just think it's really just like beautiful, and um, I mean, I don't again, I do not have the same attachment to this song as you do. I know all the words, I stream it, um, and I'm like, I don't want to say anything like bad about it because like that seems so disrespectful, but like um I will continue to fight for this song as the in the best of my ability, which I I'm like really would like I would vote for um for this song over a lot of my faves, just just to like honor the fact that this is such a special song to you.

[1:03:02] Alayna: Thank you. That's so nice of you to say that.

[1:03:04] Andrew and Alayna: Oh, of course. I mean, like, I just think like it it's just I don't know. I I yeah. So with all that said, yeah, I'm like I'm I'm scared like scared to pull another song but like it's like okay I will be voting for m this you know right so yeah um Elena do you think you guys said it perfectly it's an amazing song it's a paster piece and I don't know just like the lore that's gone into it at this point like for you to be on the episode where we pull it yeah I I wrote crying screw I'm throwing up right now yeah truly truly truly truly throwing up right now and I just think it's also like the main note that I had was like I just feel like I'm I'm so thankful that we had to be edged this long to get it.

Yeah because it also makes it even more special to see past Gleaks of our weeks in this performance as well um Dominic Tracy Telly Leoung Riker Lynch John Locke like all these people that are part of this special part of the special performance um it's just like I don't know it's just I I I just love it's just like it makes it more special if that's possible. So yeah love love love I really truly love it I wish I could bottle I wish I could bottle the way that this song makes me feel and I think it's like the most like 2011 song that Glee did. Yeah you know and that was, I don't want to say that's the happiest I've ever been, but that was a good point in my life, man. That was a good point in time.

[1:04:55] Alayna: Any final notes?

[1:05:00] Andrew and Alayna: No, I can't wait to see her again.

[1:05:03] Alayna: Okay. Let's see. We're gonna be seeing a lot of her. I love those cups. Aren't they fun? They're hard to grab shit out of when you're getting down to it.

[1:05:14] Andrew and Alayna: A song that also has um a major bit attached to it. Um, and also another season six song that we just refuse to um I guess acknowledged when we were talking about this season six on the side. I'm so glad I looked at a list and didn't say this is our last season six song. Um, we know what it is?

[1:05:31] Alayna: No.

[1:05:41] Andrew and Alayna: Okay, so audio medium.

[1:05:42] Alayna: Audio medium, it's Mercedes smiling.

[1:05:45] Andrew and Alayna: Mercedes smiling.

[1:05:47] Alayna: Do you can you spot like tell the location that she's at?

[1:05:50] Andrew and Alayna: Is she in a classroom?

[1:05:53] Alayna: No, she's in the teacher's lounge.

[1:05:58] Andrew and Alayna: Oh.

[1:06:00] Alayna: What is no clue.

[1:06:03] Andrew and Alayna: The remaining songs playlist is literally so short. What is this?

[1:06:06] Alayna: Maybe it's you!

[1:06:07] Andrew and Alayna: Oh my god!

[1:06:10] Alayna: The only Beyonce song on Glee.

[1:06:15] Andrew and Alayna: It's not the way you smile that touched my heart.

[1:06:23] Alayna: It's not the way a kids that tears me upon.

[1:06:34] Andrew and Alayna: Sit alone at home and cry over you.

[1:06:39] Alayna: What can I do?

[1:06:42] Andrew and Alayna: Can't help myself.

[1:06:46] Alayna: Cause baby is you.

[1:06:51] Andrew and Alayna: Baby is you.

[1:06:57] Alayna: You should hear what they say about you.

[1:07:01] Andrew and Alayna: Cheat.

[1:07:01] Alayna: Cheat.

[1:07:02] Andrew and Alayna: Oh.

[1:07:04] Alayna: They say you never never never been true.

[1:07:09] Andrew and Alayna: Cheat.

[1:07:10] Alayna: Whoa.

[1:07:12] Andrew and Alayna: It doesn't matter what they say.

[1:07:16] Alayna: No one gonna love you any old way.

[1:07:19] Andrew and Alayna: What can I do when it's true?

[1:07:24] Alayna: I don't want nobody.

[1:07:26] Andrew and Alayna: Nobody.

[1:07:28] Alayna: Cause baby, it's a you.

[1:07:32] Andrew and Alayna: Baby, baby, it's you.

[1:07:36] Alayna: Don't leave me alone.

[1:07:40] Andrew and Alayna: Come on home.

[1:07:44] Alayna: Baby, baby, it's you.

[1:07:48] Andrew and Alayna: Baby to you.

[1:07:54] Alayna: Cute.

[1:07:54] Andrew and Alayna: It's cute.

[1:07:55] Alayna: I feel like I love it.

[1:07:57] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[1:07:58] Alayna: I talked a lot of shit about this song. And I kind of feel like kind of are unwarranted. A little bit.

[1:08:04] Alayna: I really, I really thoroughly enjoy it.

[1:08:08] Andrew and Alayna: Alayna, what are you thinking about "Baby It's You," Glee Cast version by Glee Cast?

[1:08:12] Alayna: The MP3 isn't that special. I was like, I really hope this doesn't get old. But it's cute. I watched Venti 4, so cute. Like the dresses?

[1:08:19] Alayna: I said I wrote I love women. They look so good.

[1:08:24] Andrew and Alayna: They do.

[1:08:24] Alayna: Rachel's hair. So good.

[1:08:27] Andrew and Alayna: Santana?

[1:08:28] Alayna: Amazing. Love Santana. She looks so good.

[1:08:31] Andrew and Alayna: What do you like the beehives in this?

[1:08:34] Alayna: I kind of dig it.

[1:08:37] Andrew and Alayna: You're with it?

[1:08:38] Alayna: I'm with it. I don't know. The beehives for me have kind of landed right on the space.

[1:08:45] Alayna: For me. I don't know. For me! For me!

[1:08:49] Alayna: Um, yeah, I don't know. I think like you cannot deny the vocals are vocaling. You cannot deny that Amber Riley did the damn thing with, we can all agree, a very boring song. Just like the most boring song.

[1:09:09] Alayna: No, I can't even say that. It's not the most boring song, but it's like inherently this is a very boring core song.

[1:09:15] Andrew and Alayna: Sure.

[1:09:16] Alayna: Um, very like repetitive. She did the most that she can do with it. And it's like, okay, sorry, Merce Lady Merce Ladies. But this more Bert Bacharach. This is another Birdie Bird. Another birdie boy, but Birdie Butts every flavor beans.

[1:09:35] Alayna: But um, I do like the Beatles version of this song. Have you heard of the Beatles version?

[1:09:35] Andrew and Alayna: The Beatles version of the Beyonce song?

[1:09:46] Alayna: Of yeah, "Baby It's You!" Um, yeah, they covered it. It was beautiful. Um, this, they have a version of this song, and I thought, I thought this was a Beatles song. I didn't know that it was Bert Bacharach.

[1:10:01] Alayna: Um, but it's very, very American dreams, um, American Bandstand, uh, beehives, and yeah, I think Rachel looks good though. Rachel's hair looks awesome.

[1:10:15] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, it looks so pretty.

[1:10:18] Alayna: Andrew's silent. Andrew. Audio medium, Andrew's silent.

[1:10:22] Alayna: I think the two beautiful girls in this performance are Heather Morris and Naya Rivera.

[1:10:28] Andrew and Alayna: Fine.

[1:10:29] Alayna: I think that's fine. I don't know. I didn't even want to make a comment about this. Maybe I'll cut this out. I don't like to be in the nature of commenting on black women's hair, but the wig that they have on Amber Riley is absolutely like horrendous and I really do not like it.

[1:10:43] Andrew and Alayna: It's not good.

[1:10:44] Alayna: It's, I don't know how you get a beehive into a beehive.

[1:10:48] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[1:10:49] Alayna: How they doing that? How do you stack that? That's like what, like a shit three?

[1:10:54] Andrew and Alayna: It's like, it's like three anyway you want it.

[1:10:55] Alayna: Love and Teton squeezed on top of each other.

[1:10:57] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, it's three. The only beehive I know is the Beyhive. This is a great Beyonce song.

[1:11:06] Alayna: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but I feel like we could, there is now I'm making work for myself, but like there is an edit that I could make of Amber Riley's vocals in this song to sort of match the pitch of, uh, "Love on Top." Oh gosh. Future me hates me now, I gotta do it.

[1:11:30] Alayna: Uh, but yeah, sad. I was like always like wondering like what is going to be the song that, um, loses to "Somewhere We Go Sometimes," and it's this cute little girl. She's not really gonna be missed by many, I don't think. I'm gonna make this poll, and there's gonna be somebody who votes for "Baby It's You," and I'm gonna be angry.

[1:11:52] Andrew and Alayna: Can I just say that we posted the polls for, um, we posted polls yesterday and I was like, okay, it was "Wake Me Up" versus "Landslide." Um, real Gleeks remember this competition, I do. Um, I was like, okay, "Landslide" will win in a landslide, and only make sense, and 12% of y'all voted for "Wake Me Up." That's 63 of you. That's 466 of you did vote for "Landslide," and of course, but like come on. I'm sorry, I don't like, I don't like, none of those 63 people can ever DM us and be like you belong in jail because you do because of "Wake Me Up." I'm sorry, don't ever do that ever again.

[1:11:52] Alayna: Um, okay, final competition. Oh god, okay, what we had to, we had to have some, and we had to have other ones, and this one is on our remaining songs playlist. Oh, butrew loves this for some reason.

[1:11:52] Andrew and Alayna: No, I is, it's not "Cheek to Cheek," is it?

[1:11:52] Alayna: No, what is that? Here we go, everybody, everybody high anticipation. I like, I'm like, I think you do for some weird reason.

[1:13:12] Andrew and Alayna: The first Noel.

[1:13:55] Alayna: Did you not say a couple of weeks ago, oh I, you sang "The First Noel," and you were like, oh, I can't.

[1:14:00] Andrew and Alayna: I didn't know.

[1:14:01] Alayna: Okay, so I sang the, no. I think I said because I wanted to pull it in the last episode because it would have made sense as like a full circle moment Christmas songs. Remember when you pulled all the Christmas songs when he first started?

[1:14:15] Andrew and Alayna: Yes, okay.

[1:14:16] Alayna: And so I never said on record that I like this. I mean the beautiful vocals, who can deny?

[1:14:21] Andrew and Alayna: No, you texted me. You texted me and then you deleted it.

[1:14:24] Alayna: You used iMessaging. You texted me. You said "The First Noel" is the best song on Glee. I'm gonna go for it over "Somewhere We Go Sometimes," you stupid bitch.

[1:14:35] Andrew and Alayna: That's an evil stop, Murphy.

[1:14:38] Alayna: Is that right? Murphy, or is that you?

[1:14:40] Andrew and Alayna: He wouldn't. Brian Murphy's favorite song on Glee is "The First Noel."

[1:14:45] Alayna: Okay, but I, okay. I hate that the conversation is starting this way because, okay. Live vocals, Melissa Benoist. She again did the damn thing with this number.

[1:14:56] Andrew and Alayna: Okay.

[1:14:57] Alayna: She sounds so beautiful. Anne Hathaway, who in Limez?

[1:15:02] Andrew and Alayna: Alayna, um, what's your least favorite Christmas song?

[1:15:07] Alayna: Probably "The First Noel."

[1:15:08] Andrew and Alayna: Okay.

[1:15:09] Alayna: I hate it.

[1:15:10] Andrew and Alayna: Okay.

[1:15:11] Alayna: What, what's going through your mind while we watched 41 seconds of that?

[1:15:16] Andrew and Alayna: Nothing.

[1:15:17] Alayna: It was head emptied.

[1:15:18] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, head empty, breath again, I need subway surfers. I need the cooking videos.

[1:15:24] Alayna: Yep.

[1:15:25] Andrew and Alayna: I need something. I need them taking a soap bar.

[1:15:28] Alayna: Stop.

[1:15:29] Andrew and Alayna: Shopping it in a second.

[1:15:31] Alayna: And then shaving it off in little chunks of soap.

[1:15:34] Andrew and Alayna: God damn it. I just want to put my whole fucking mouth in there.

[1:15:37] Alayna: No.

[1:15:38] Andrew and Alayna: Fingers. I could have let me be the one to say that I could watch this raw.

[1:15:45] Alayna: I can watch this without any sort of other.

[1:15:49] Andrew and Alayna: This was okay. It was only 41 seconds. Watching things without any other stimulation is just watching things raw now.

[1:15:57] Alayna: My brain is forever broken now. God damn it. I need like the family guy clips.

[1:16:05] Andrew and Alayna: Oh, the modern family clips for me now.

[1:16:08] Alayna: Oh, Modern just I just got Glee for the first time.

[1:16:14] Andrew and Alayna: Really?

[1:16:15] Alayna: Yeah.

[1:16:15] Andrew and Alayna: I got, they have Glee.

[1:16:19] Alayna: Yeah, the scene where Brittany's like, I think I'm pregnant with our, it's just yeah.

[1:16:24] Andrew and Alayna: I did get that too.

[1:16:25] Alayna: Wait, I'm getting it. Wait, so what, wait? What was underneath of it?

[1:16:27] Andrew and Alayna: It was just like a cooking video or something.

[1:16:32] Alayna: I was, I was so baffled that it was Glee. I was like, I was like, oh the fuck, they got Glee now.

[1:16:35] Andrew and Alayna: They got Glee now on this.

[1:16:39] Alayna: They got 'em.

[1:16:40] Andrew and Alayna: They got them.

[1:16:41] Alayna: They got them.

[1:16:42] Andrew and Alayna: Guys. I'm getting a lot of that movie that has that one woman in it, and her husband is obviously cheating on.

[1:16:49] Alayna: Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

[1:16:52] Andrew and Alayna: How is it that much context that you need?

[1:16:56] Alayna: We're on this, we speak the same language.

[1:16:58] Andrew and Alayna: Same way.

[1:16:59] Alayna: Same wavelength. I know exactly what you're talking about.

[1:17:02] Andrew and Alayna: Good.

[1:17:02] Alayna: That's all I'm gonna say.

[1:17:03] Andrew and Alayna: That's it.

[1:17:04] Alayna: That's all you're doing. Wait, can you, I need to know what movie is?

[1:17:08] Andrew and Alayna: She's, she, what other stuff has she been in?

[1:17:10] Alayna: She was in the movie "Something Borrowed" with um, John Krasinski and Kate Hudson.

[1:17:18] Andrew and Alayna: Okay.

[1:17:20] Alayna: I'm gonna have to reverse search.

[1:17:21] Andrew and Alayna: I don't even know what the movie is. I've never seen it.

[1:17:24] Alayna: I'm looking at "Something Borrowed." Who was in "Something Borrowed"?

[1:17:27] Andrew and Alayna: Um, uh, uh, I always forget how to spell her, say her name. Is it Ginefer Goodwin?

[1:17:31] Alayna: Jennifer?

[1:17:34] Andrew and Alayna: Jennifer Goodwin.

[1:17:35] Alayna: Um, there's a TikTok bit that's going around that's like, hi, I'd like to buy a gun.

[1:17:43] Andrew and Alayna: Oh, that's the movie.

[1:17:45] Alayna: Wait, I'd like to buy a gun. Okay, I don't know. Gleeks, again, I know you're really doing overtime in the comments down below, but what the hell is this movie?

[1:17:48] Andrew and Alayna: The comments down below.

[1:17:56] Alayna: The comment in the comments down below of this podcast.

[1:17:59] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[1:18:01] Alayna: Um, legal note from Andrew.

[1:18:04] Andrew and Alayna: Okay, you're all waiting for it. Legal note.

[1:18:06] Alayna: A legal note.

[1:18:08] Andrew and Alayna: Um, okay, so the, um, the, uh, oh gosh, now I'm flustered. The, um, iTunes release of this song was actually a not like this live version, obviously. It was done in the studio with Nikki and Adam Anders. I feel like we have to always reference Nikki, but we also need to reference her husband Adam.

[1:18:28] Alayna: No!

[1:18:29] Andrew and Alayna: Um, she's Barbie, he's just Ken.

[1:18:32] Alayna: Okay.

[1:18:33] Andrew and Alayna: He's just Adam. Um, but, uh, so Melissa went into the studio and recorded this, and I believe on the Glee Wiki, this is, um, this is like sorted as a New Directions number because in the background, if you've listened on the Gleek of the Week Remaining playlist, Allison, are you listening to this song when it pops up on your, no?

[1:18:56] Alayna: Okay, I didn't think so.

[1:18:57] Andrew and Alayna: Um, because like the chorus comes in, like, um, Marley sings it with a chorus, and so it's like, um, described as a New Directions number. All these bitches audio medium pointing to my background. They're all holding puppets.

[1:19:12] Alayna: Um, I will say that I was listening to, um, Gleek of the Week Remaining, uh, songs playlist this morning on my bike ride, and guess what? Um, there was a very hard hill that I had to get up on my bike, and this was the song that was playing as I was going up the hill, and I really like Decatur, um, really like good like Cardi B songs as I go up the hills, but for whatever reason got it, Cardi Nabata and Arari. Shannon, I love them about, but it can I got your bitch on money if you had gang his lame take my lane to the lane, fill up a drink. I'll go inside.

[1:19:45] Andrew and Alayna: I don't know if I've ever told you. I think like the for the past like two years, my most played song was "Up" by Cardi B.

[1:19:54] Alayna: Yes, you did tell me that. I love Cardi B. I am obsessed with "Up."

[1:19:59] Andrew and Alayna: Speaking of "The First Noel," I am obsessed with "Up."

[1:20:02] Alayna: I am obsessed with "Up." I'm obsessed with "I Like It." I can sing the entire beginning verse of "I Like It."

[1:20:09] Andrew and Alayna: I love "Press, Press, Press, Press, Press." Cardi don't need more press.

[1:20:15] Alayna: Oh my god. And then there's the lyric in that which I am obsessed with, where she says, ding dong must be that whip that I ordered, and another crib for my daughter. I'm just like, that's, it's so good.

[1:20:30] Andrew and Alayna: Um, so anyway, I love Cardi. Come on the podcast, please.

[1:20:38] Alayna: Nobody has said that. I mean, I guess people say "WAP."

[1:20:41] Andrew and Alayna: People say "WAP," but nobody's like saying "Up," nobody's saying "I Like It," nobody's saying "Barty" or "Cardi," like "Money," I love "Money" too.

[1:20:53] Alayna: "Money," nobody's saying "Bodak Yellow," like what are we doing?

[1:20:57] Andrew and Alayna: Gosh. Final song of the episode.

[1:21:01] Alayna: Oh my god, it's a song by Cardi B.

[1:21:05] Andrew and Alayna: It's what, and you're gonna, you're gonna fucking lose it, but it's another season six song.

[1:21:11] Alayna: Oh, it's the one that I reference actually, so that's okay.

[1:21:14] Andrew and Alayna: You live, you learn.

[1:21:16] Alayna: You live, you learn, you cry, you learn, you crash, you burn.

[1:23:24] Alayna: That was beautiful!

[1:23:32] Andrew and Alayna: Um, yeah. He's gorgeous. Without looking at a list, is that the best song from season six?

[1:23:40] Alayna: No. Hand in my pocket, I feel the earth move. But this song did make points. I know because I do I think this is like the third. Number one is Hand in my pocket, Earth Move. Number two is um What's the other one? By Jane and the twin, Mason.

[1:24:05] Andrew and Alayna: Oh, um, well, you still love me tomorrow.

[1:24:07] Alayna: Yes. Head over feet. Yeah. And then this one. And they're all from the same episode. We're not considering any Noah Guthrie.

[1:24:15] Andrew and Alayna: No. No. No. Sorry, babe. Something about walking around naked in your living room.

[1:24:23] Alayna: I love that.

[1:24:26] Andrew and Alayna: Elena, what do what do you think?

[1:24:28] Alayna: I love it. I love it. Yeah, she's a beautiful girl. Beautiful, beautiful girl. I wrote Diane Agron with hearts around her name.

[1:24:35] Andrew and Alayna: Yes. How do you feel about her bleached hair?

[1:24:38] Alayna: I kind of dig it. I like it.

[1:24:40] Andrew and Alayna: You're into it?

[1:24:41] Alayna: I'm vibing with it.

[1:24:42] Andrew and Alayna: Okay. Kind of catches me by surprise every rewatch. I'm like, oh.

[1:24:46] Alayna: Oh.

[1:24:46] Andrew and Alayna: We're in this era.

[1:24:47] Alayna: Oh.

[1:24:48] Andrew and Alayna: Um, legal note, legal note, legal notes. This is Diana Agron's last credited song on the hitbox series Glee.

[1:24:59] Alayna: That hurts. She doesn't sing another damn song for the rest of the series.

[1:25:00] Andrew and Alayna: And she's barely on the track.

[1:25:04] Alayna: And she's barely. Uh you know, she does she comes in and it's it's good. I really do love it. I mean, you know what? When you really think about it, you have more friends than you know.

[1:25:17] Andrew and Alayna: Don't don't bring up that song here.

[1:25:20] Alayna: You really do. You really do.

[1:25:23] Andrew and Alayna: Um, I love these mashups. I think they're so great. I think Santana's dress reminds me of those.

[1:25:31] Alayna: Don't ruin this. Don't ruin it for me.

[1:25:33] Andrew and Alayna: That were so popular in 2014. The like thick black bands and the bright, bright color blocking.

[1:25:42] Alayna: Yeah.

[1:25:43] Andrew and Alayna: That were available at VS Pink. Speaking of Santana, when she walks in, I love this moment. When she walks into the damn auditorium, Brittany does a full target locked.

[1:25:58] Alayna: I'm walking toward my fiance. Wish Clayne would do that. Wish Clay would do that once.

[1:26:03] Andrew and Alayna: Brittany's like, Yep, gotta go. Gotta go. You guys are not my friends. That's my girlfriend. That's my that's my wife. That's my fiance.

[1:26:11] Alayna: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:26:13] Andrew and Alayna: I love it. Marry that girl. Marry her anyway.

[1:26:18] Alayna: Oh my god.

[1:26:20] Andrew and Alayna: What? That really dug deep into my brain into the trenches. Do you remember that? That was such a that was such a culture.

[1:26:27] Alayna: Well, you gotta be so rude. And like also, like this was like that song came out the same time as Glee Season 6, and it was the perfect song for Brittany to be singing to Abuela.

[1:26:39] Andrew and Alayna: This is true. I've always said this. I've always said that missed opportunity. Missed Opportunity.

[1:26:45] Alayna: Um, so I fear the first Noelle has had their last.

[1:26:52] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, the first Noelle and the last one.

[1:26:55] Alayna: Yeah. Yeah, I'm not. I won't see her again.

[1:26:58] Andrew and Alayna: You're gonna learn.

[1:27:00] Alayna: Wait, no, we have the we have to save these jokes for in just a moment. Um to recap this episode. I have Arthur's theme, and somewhere only we know.

[1:27:13] Andrew and Alayna: Wait, so I I think I've said before that when we do pull that song, and which we did in this recording, we are going to title the episode. Somewhere we go sometime. Somewhere we go sometimes. Is it someplace? What are we? Is it somewhere somewhere we go somewhere? Somewhere we go sometimes.

[1:27:31] Alayna: It's somewhere we go.

[1:27:33] Andrew and Alayna: Where did I get it? We must have caught it someplace at one point.

[1:27:35] Alayna: Some place, yeah, because I feel like I've bastardized it in a bunch of different forms. Um yes, I'm having children out of wedlock with somewhere only we know. Um Arthur's theme and Somewhere Only We Know are going to the next round of the Glackett, and then first Noel, last Noel. Stan Hall.

[1:27:54] Andrew and Alayna: That's a hilarious joke. Um I wish that I came up with that one. Um, okay, wait. So let me see. I have my order all completely messed up. Um, okay, so I have Don't Stop Believing. Don't stop Don't Stop Believing.

[1:28:13] Alayna: Wait. Baby It's You?

[1:28:15] Andrew and Alayna: Yep. And Okay. Yep. I'm like very good. Were you here? Were you here for the last hour?

[1:28:22] Alayna: No, I feel like I was just having so much fun that I forgot like all the things that were happening.

[1:28:26] Andrew and Alayna: It's fun. Um don't I know it's it's a fun little thing that we do. So don't stop believing and baby it's you are staying behind. I'm I'm correct in that saying that.

[1:28:39] Alayna: Yes.

[1:28:39] Andrew and Alayna: Um, so okay, my joke for Don't Stop Believing is that um, well, they did stop. Um and Back to Dragons, yes.

[1:28:52] Alayna: Yeah, I'm kind of forced to.

[1:28:55] Andrew and Alayna: Um Baby It's You, not today. Not today.

[1:28:59] Alayna: Um, and then you learn you've got a friend. Uh I think there are gonna be a number of songs that are gonna learn that they've got a friend in the second round with you learn you've got a friend being that friend.

[1:29:10] Andrew and Alayna: Is it you learn and not you live you learn?

[1:29:13] Alayna: The song is just called you learn.

[1:29:16] Andrew and Alayna: Oh, okay. Niggating you living. She seemed disappointed.

[1:29:21] Alayna: Well, because I wrote you live, you learn on my whiteboard, and it was difficult for me to erase it. I don't know why.

[1:29:26] Andrew and Alayna: Okay. Um, wow. Crazy. Crazy crazy car. This is the how do you feel about being a part of the episode where we pull somewhere we go sometimes, Elena?

[1:29:35] Alayna: I am honored. I'm honored. I manifested it.

[1:29:39] Andrew and Alayna: Mm-hmm. You really did that.

[1:29:40] Alayna: I really did manifest it. That was beautiful. Um Elena, I have one final question for you. And you're not gonna believe it. You're not gonna believe what it is.

[1:29:50] Andrew and Alayna: That's a surprise, surprise song, Taylor Swift!

[1:29:53] Alayna: Yeah, uh-huh. Um what is it? If Glee was still on in the year of our glory 2023, what are they singing?

[1:30:02] Andrew and Alayna: That's a weird way to propose, but yes, I accept that.

[1:30:05] Alayna: No.

[1:30:07] Andrew and Alayna: Um I wrote down. Um they didn't do any panic at the disco songs.

[1:30:14] Alayna: This is true. This is true. Lane's voice is perfect for Panic at the disco songs.

[1:30:19] Andrew and Alayna: I would agree. Upset that they didn't do any in Puppet Master.

[1:30:25] Alayna: They had Am I a Man or a Muppet from the Muppet movie? Right there. Right there. Right there.

[1:30:30] Andrew and Alayna: And they didn't do it. Wow. And I was about to say, maybe they couldn't do Muppet songs on Glee, but guess what? They did two.

[1:30:38] Alayna: They did two Muppet songs. And I'm so upset that they like I have been thinking about that for the entirety of my life. They didn't do that. And I literally cry every single time I think of it.

[1:30:53] Andrew and Alayna: Crying.

[1:30:54] Alayna: I know. Crying, screaming, throwing up, but they didn't do that.

[1:30:57] Andrew and Alayna: All of it.

[1:30:57] Alayna: All of it. Uh they would have done Greta Van Fan fleet.

[1:31:01] Andrew and Alayna: Yes. Especially Light My Love.

[1:31:03] Alayna: I love Greta Flan Feet. And also the Taylor Swift me.

[1:31:09] Andrew and Alayna: Yes. I said I said I said I think Rachel and Glaine would do it.

[1:31:14] Alayna: Oh. Oh my god. My annoying king and queen.

[1:31:19] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah. Extraordinary Merry Christmas baby.

[1:31:24] Alayna: Yeah. That'd be so good. And then I said that it would have done more. They should have done more Halloween episodes.

[1:31:31] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah. Like there's a there's a lot of Halloween songs or creepy songs that could have been Halloween, and they didn't do it.

[1:31:36] Alayna: They missed up the opportunity.

[1:31:38] Andrew and Alayna: What's a creepy song to you?

[1:31:42] Alayna: I wrote down Boogie Woogie Wu from the Insane Cloud Bossy.

[1:31:46] Andrew and Alayna: Ooh. Wait, I was thinking um Nightmare Before Christmas. What is that? Boogie Boogie Boogie.

[1:31:51] Alayna: Boogie Boogie Boogie?

[1:31:53] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah, that's a character though.

[1:31:56] Alayna: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[1:31:56] Andrew and Alayna: Welcome.

[1:32:02] Alayna: Welcome. Wait, Elena. We said in a previous episode that Ben is a creepy song. Do you agree that it's creepy?

[1:32:08] Andrew and Alayna: Like the Michael Jackson song?

[1:32:10] Alayna: Yeah. I think it's it's creepy when you think about it, it's like about a rat. Um but other than that, I don't mind the song. It's I don't like it in the context of what Glee did it.

[1:32:25] Andrew and Alayna: Like it's a weird context.

[1:32:27] Alayna: I it makes me very uncomfortable. I don't like how Glee did it. But silly goofy mood singing that to Blaine.

[1:32:33] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[1:32:33] Alayna: They're like, we're gonna sing a song about a rat to a guy who is blinded in an eye.

[1:32:38] Andrew and Alayna: Yeah.

[1:32:38] Alayna: And his name is not even. And it's not his line, yeah. That's fun. Like, there's no character named Ben and Glee. Like it all makes sense.

[1:32:47] Andrew and Alayna: Somewhere, somewhere it makes sense.

[1:32:50] Alayna: Um, I don't live there, but um, somewhere it does.

[1:32:52] Andrew and Alayna: In Ryan Murphy's head.

[1:32:54] Alayna: Yes. God, I could l I wish I could live there. I just want to know things. I just simply need to learn things.

[1:33:00] Andrew and Alayna: Um, wait, Elena, thank you so much for first of all, just being just the most beautiful, delightful listener of this podcast, glistener. I'm sorry I misspoke. Um you have just been such a light of support for us. I just am obsessed with you. Um, where can all of the glisteners find your social Gledia?

[1:33:21] Alayna: Uh my Instagram is Elena X Harlow. And then my TikTok is it's peanut allergy101.

[1:33:30] Andrew and Alayna: Nice. Peanut allergy. That's wait, is that oh I would is that a glee reference?

[1:33:35] Alayna: No, no, not at all. Not at all. I wish.

[1:33:37] Andrew and Alayna: Why did my mind immediately think that that was like the reference to the Britney line?

[1:33:42] Alayna: No, there's no that's no glee reference.

[1:33:45] Andrew and Alayna: You just have one.

[1:33:46] Alayna: I just, yeah.

[1:33:48] Andrew and Alayna: It's okay. I'm allergic to tree nuts, so kind of like complete each other. I don't even have a peanut allergy, which I know it's ironic. I just 2020 was a dark place for me, and I decided to make that my TikTok user name.

[1:34:01] Andrew and Alayna: So you're using peanut allergy as your name and you don't even have a peanut allergy?

[1:34:06] Alayna: The peanut allergy allergy community is not gonna be too much.

[1:34:09] Andrew and Alayna: I know. I know.

[1:34:11] Alayna: Oh my god. Elena, thank you so much. Another and uh absolutely a landmark episode with somewhere we go sometimes being pulled. Really crazy. Really cuckoo bananas.
