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

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

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

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

[0:35] Andrew: Oh my god, what an exciting episode I have for you this week because I am joined by, you've seen them on Single Drunk Female, you've seen them on The Boys, you've seen them maybe on a little reality show program called The Glee Project Season 2.

[0:49] Andrew: I am, of course, talking about my literal mom and dad. I'm talking about Abraham Lim and Lily Mae Harrington. Hello! My literal mom and dad, you raised me! Okay, this news that you're doing, this reunion show, rocked my world in ways that I cannot describe. Please just tell me in all the Gleeks listening, where did this come from?

[1:22] Lily Mae Harrington: Well, yeah, you take it.

[1:24] Abraham Lim: Yeah, so I've made a goal for myself with my own music, but also just in general to hit at least 10 new cities with my music in the next year or so. And when Abe and I were talking about New York, we were like, wouldn't it be so fun to do a show together? And Abraham, again, I think it's been a while since Abraham's performed. And I, you know, want to see Abraham perform because it's been a while other than in the private karaoke rooms that I've seen him sing other than being on Broadway. And we were just excited to kind of, you know, get back to it and performing and bringing the Glee Project community back together.

[2:14] Andrew: Oh, it's never left. Wait, I do need to know, Abraham, what is your karaoke song?

[2:21] Abraham Lim: My karaoke song is, it depends on the mood. So if we're doing kind of like a ballad-y sort of night, like Lily always wants me to perform the song. It's called 보고 싶다. It's a Korean song. And it goes, 보고 싶다, like something like that. And she knows the Korean lyrics at this point, because I've sung it so much. Or it's like a different type of group where like, I know some people really well, but some people I don't know. And it's just like a very diverse group of people from all different backgrounds. I will go to Don't Stop Believin' or like My Heart Will Go On. Oftentimes we do My Heart Will Go On together, karaoke, and we harmonize.

[3:02] Andrew: A really easy song, famously easy song to sing, too. Yeah. Knock it out. Wait, so Lily, what do you go for?

[3:10] Lily Mae Harrington: You know, because Abraham and I, we often do the private karaoke rooms.

[3:16] Abraham Lim: Yeah.

[3:16] Lily Mae Harrington: And then it's kind of like no holds barred anything. But if I'm in public, this sounds like such an a-hole thing to say, but as a good singer, I kind of hate singing while at karaoke. And like, there are some people that want it. There are some people that are like so mad that you went up and sang well, or they feel uncomfortable. So I like to rap at karaoke.

[3:40] Abraham Lim: She does love it.

[3:40] Andrew: Oh, that's very fun.

[3:41] Lily Mae Harrington: And I love to do Shaggy's Wasn't Me. And I usually do both.

[3:45] Abraham Lim: There we go.

[3:46] Lily Mae Harrington: And that feels, you get everybody involved.

[3:49] Abraham Lim: Totally. Everybody screams wasn't me.

[3:51] Andrew: Lily is great at that. Because it is true. Because when you do public karaoke, you don't want to kind of, which there are a lot of people in New York that are like that, because there are a lot of theatre people or aspiring theatre people that go up and they just sing beautifully. And, you know, when you're seven picklebacks deep, and you know, you have like a tequila soda in your hand, and you're like, you don't necessarily want to see someone do like the perfect rendition of Defying Gravity. You know what I mean? See someone who sings a crowd pleaser. And, you know, Lily's very, very good at that. I get a bit more shy about like, making like kind of a fool of myself, which is a point of drunken karaoke. But it's like, she always can read the room very well and like do a crowd pleaser. And she, she wasn't me. It wasn't me.

[4:38] Abraham Lim: It wasn't me. It wasn't me.

[4:46] Andrew: Yeah, that's a that seems to be it wasn't me.

[4:50] Lily Mae Harrington: The more like you mumble the lyrics of that one, it kind of like lends itself to the performance aspect.

[4:55] Abraham Lim: Yeah. And Shaggy is really, it's just like a darker, timbre Kermit the Frog.

[5:03] Andrew: Yeah, there we go. That is the perfect conversation.

[5:07] Lily Mae Harrington: What can we expect from this Keep Holding On, Keep Holding On the Glee Project Reunion show?

[5:14] Abraham Lim: We're still holding on.

[5:17] Lily Mae Harrington: Oh, still holding on. Of course. It's almost like, JLo, what was the new, this is me then, this is me now. Like, this is the, this is me now.

[5:28] Abraham Lim: JLo, what was the new, this is me then, this is me now. Like, this is the,

[5:32] Lily Mae Harrington: Which I watched both the feature and the documentary for. It's a good watch.

[5:38] Abraham Lim: It is a back to back watch, a powerful back to back watch.

[5:42] Lily Mae Harrington: To put it in JLo perspective.

[5:49] Abraham Lim: Yes. What can we expect people that attend or watch the live stream of the show?

[5:54] Lily Mae Harrington: Well, I think, you know, the show, you know, Lily and I talked kind of about the creative direction of the show and where we kind of wanted to go. And obviously, you know, we have our both, we both have our different reasons for doing the show that I think are very complimentary to one another. But I think with Lily, she's created so much amazing, she's created such a catalog of great music. And I'm not even just saying that because I'm her friend, like to the point where, you know, one of her songs in particular, TGTBT, I wanted that song. When she first, like, you know, played me that song, I was like, I want to do this. Like I and she was like, absolutely no way in hell. And I was like, I would do a better song, which is false.

I just wanted the song, you know, and but she's created so many bangers over the years and so many songs that will just move people. And so I think for, for the show, I really wanted it to be kind of like a reflection of where we are, and what we've kind of built over the years, as well as some things that might bring people back, you know, to bring back people to like a place of nostalgia and, you know, appreciation for, you know, past songs that we may or may not have done before on the show. But yeah, I think it's just going to be a trip down memory lane and all the way to the present. And hopefully, you know, through that show, whether it's live stream or watching us live, you know, people will continue to follow us in our own endeavors as we continue to forge our own paths individually and together as friends, right.

[7:31] Lily Mae Harrington: Well, thanks. That's sweet.

[7:31] Abraham Lim: Well, you know, I'm not sweet.

[7:31] Lily Mae Harrington: You know, I say I know that's why I mean the lie.

[7:37] Abraham Lim: I mean, it's truly like I've cried listening to her songs. I've like lip synced to them as I've walked down the streets of New York, or driven my car. I've sang 2GTBT louder than her at her shows.

[7:48] Lily Mae Harrington: Sometimes, yes.

[7:49] Abraham Lim: Sometimes, yes. I think I'm exaggerating, but it's not. It's not an exaggeration.

[7:54] Lily Mae Harrington: No, it really is. I implore everybody listening to go listen to Lily's music. It's so good. And I'm not just blowing smoke, but like both of you and just like Glee Project contestants in general, it's been so gratifying to see the years following to see like how specifically even more so than like the Glee cast. It's like, wow, like these people that I actually learned as people first, you know, that are like Robert Ulrich had an eye for each and every one of you. And that it's like been like, oh, my gosh, here's Abraham and K-pop on Broadway and the boys and Lily, you were like, undoubtedly, I was just talking to my boyfriend about it. Like you were the best part of Single Drunk Female, like that was such a fun show.

But like you were such a standout in every single scene. And like, also, all of me a few years back, that was like seeing that, like you holding your own against Kira Sedgwick was like, oh my, it like it was like such a payoff to be like, this person that I put like these people that I put stock into almost, you know, yeah, like, it's like, it's like really, it's paying off. So you guys are all just so incredible.

[9:06] Lily Mae Harrington: Thank you, Andrew.

[9:11] Abraham Lim: I know. And I didn't get to see you guys after that performance. I'm so glad y'all came.

[9:16] Lily Mae Harrington: Oh, my gosh, of course, I would not miss it. It was so it was like such a thought provoking show and such an important message. And yeah, I'm so glad that I did see it.

[9:22] Abraham Lim: Yeah. And before and before we move on to that, because Lily was absolutely incredible and is incredible and everything that she's in. But but I do have to say you're so right. I think that Robert Ulrich is he definitely him and his associates and assistant, Alana Baltimore, I'm really when they were cast in the show, I think that they really did have a knack because it's something that comes up but people talk about reality TV contestants and whether it be The Voice or American Idol or, you know, the Glee Project or other shows. But when you look at, you know, the cast and you look at certain people's trajectories, the ones that have chosen to continue on within the entertainment industry, it's like we really have forged through and, you know, really created these careers and these names for ourselves within the business.

And so, you know, I'm always going to be grateful to Robert and his team for, you know, finding us and always to us, you know, be bold enough when we were like greener than chlorophyll to send heaps and be that audacious. Right. And so I commend both of us, Lily.

[10:41] Lily Mae Harrington: Yes.

[10:41] Abraham Lim: And I also thank Robert and his team for, you know, finding us.

[10:47] Lily Mae Harrington: So, yeah.

[10:47] Abraham Lim: Finding us and then shepherding us into the industry after the show. You didn't have to do.

[10:55] Lily Mae Harrington: Absolutely not.

[10:55] Abraham Lim: Which was so important for all of us.

[10:58] Andrew: Right. Now, this past year, I know that you guys are aware that the Glee Project episodes were uploaded to TikTok.

[11:03] Abraham Lim: Wait, what?

[11:04] Lily Mae Harrington: Wait, Abraham, are you not aware? That's why the whole resurgence happened. That's why it all happened.

[11:07] Abraham Lim: He's not on TikTok. He doesn't know, y'all. He doesn't know. He has no idea. I don't like social media.

[11:12] Andrew: No. OK, so wait, Lily, then do you like you saw it? It was like it was all like the entire I didn't even think that you could like upload that long of videos.

[11:26] Lily Mae Harrington: No, that's why I found out you can do 20 minute long TikTok. So our episodes were about, I think, 22 minutes long, something like that. And no, no, they weren't. Are you kidding me? No, I think they were full hour long episode. They were full. I'm sorry.

[11:40] Abraham Lim: Yeah, you're right. But then when you split it into two, it's like 21 episodes after commercials because there's still commercials in that hour. So it's about 42 minutes in the actual length, the actual episodes that you're seeing. But gosh, how did I find out? I think I think Shanna popped up on my TikTok and talking about her elimination. I was like, oh, we're getting into that. Why are we getting into that? And then realizing that it was all on there.

[12:18] Lily Mae Harrington: Oh, my God. All of them.

[12:18] Abraham Lim: Yeah, all of it. And because the episodes weren't they're not on streaming. You can't buy a DVD of The Glee Project.

[12:26] Lily Mae Harrington: No, no. I don't even know where the people were getting the files.

[12:32] Abraham Lim: I know it's a really good question. I think that's a mystery. I have the episode somewhere.

[12:40] Lily Mae Harrington: Well, that's what I'm saying is everybody, all the contestants have the episodes. We were given the episodes at the end kind of for our own reels and everything and keepsake wise. So to me, it's a great mystery. It's got to be someone connected to the show or conspiracy theory. I don't know. I really don't know. Because you're right. It's not available to stream anywhere unless someone literally recorded all of it while it was happening, like on their car and somehow were able to save those files. I'm not even sure you can do that from 2012. But so I have no idea how those ended up there. And it absolutely was not me because I wish I was so glad that footage was not available on the internet.

[13:27] Abraham Lim: And here we are.

[13:27] Lily Mae Harrington: That's a really good point. It's like that it's like you either saw it or you didn't, you know?

[13:32] Abraham Lim: Yeah, exactly.

[13:32] Lily Mae Harrington: Yeah. And there was this Instagram clip where like, it went viral because it was one of the intros to one of the episodes. And like, yes. So in 2025, like, I think a lot of people took felt ire about it and felt like it was very, very inappropriate, which like, hey, you know, I have my thoughts. But, you know, and obviously people are like, you know, the guy with the red hair thing is still like, very, very big. I almost kind of wish I had like a red wig today just to like, put on and like, take off and be like, but yeah, no, like, that's how I knew I didn't know that the full episodes were out. I saw that and thought, yeah, yeah, people were just were just they had the time and they were just sitting down and watching all seasons.

[14:29] Abraham Lim: Yeah. And I think it's amazing that it's such a special I think, and like you said, like, it was kind of this thing where like, it happened. And if you were there, you were there. And if you weren't, yeah, you weren't. And it was almost this kind of special club connection of loving it and the people that I still meet that loved it. It's such a special thing for them. I think like Teenage Summer is also so special. And that was what it was for so many of us.

[15:00] Lily Mae Harrington: Yeah.

[15:00] Abraham Lim: And yeah, and so I still meet people today. Like I've been performing in Provincetown all summer. And I still meet people today that were like, Oh my god, you were so great on Single Tracks, you know, but I've been watching you since The Glee Project. And I love The Glee Project. And it's you can tell like, it really is so, so special for people.

[15:14] Lily Mae Harrington: And you know, it means a lot to us.

[15:19] Abraham Lim: You know what's so funny, I almost forgot to tell you this story. And I was gonna tell you this before Andrew, when we were talking about the movie that I'm working on, I was on. And one of the PAs, the head PA on set was like, what, which is a production assistant, for those of you who are not in the industry, she was like, what was your first show? And I was like, The Glee Project, and her face just changed. And she went, the red hair. And I went, Oh, that's odd. But yeah, no. And just like to echo what Lily said, I don't understand it. Like I don't understand like the kind of random resurgence is that the show has, but it is really, really special to have it live on. And you know, while there are certain moments that like, I kind of like cringe at myself, because I do think that, that was a version of myself that I, it's so clear that I didn't know who I was, especially compared to now, right.

But it's also like such an important part of who I am. And it was the, it was the thing that made me believe that I could do what I'm doing right now in the business. And you know, I'm always going to be so grateful for that. So when people, whether it's like, they look back on it fondly, or say that it was really important to them, or they just like, brings them a smile or laughter, you know, to me, that's still very, very special. And I am so, so grateful for that.

[16:42] Lily Mae Harrington: Yeah.

[16:49] Andrew: Now, obviously, unfortunately, the two of you did not make it onto the show properly, which this podcast is all surrounded about. But um, oh my gosh, what was my question here? My question?

[17:01] Abraham Lim: I know, I just think you're rubbing it in, Andrew, that we didn't make it on the show.

[17:08] Andrew: Remember how you guys didn't win?

[17:08] Abraham Lim: But we will be looking at a few performances today from the hit Fox show Glee, in the process that you helped before on the Glacket. Now, if there was a bracket for the Glee Project performances, what song do you think would come out on top for you specifically?

[17:28] Lily Mae Harrington: You know what I still think about is Aileen's first Without You, David Guetta. I think about that all the time.

[17:34] Abraham Lim: All the time.

[17:39] Lily Mae Harrington: Right, this is a whole debate.

[17:39] Abraham Lim: Yes.

[17:47] Lily Mae Harrington: I still think about that. I think the combo of like, the song and her performance and the red dress and even the camera movement performance.

[17:53] Abraham Lim: Yeah, like, I just think crew wise, her wise, song wise, like, everything was just right. It was a magical moment that I still think about.

[18:00] Abraham Lim: Yeah, I would easily put that up there. I would put, I would put Nelly's if I were a boy, I would definitely.

[18:07] Lily Mae Harrington: So good.

[18:18] Abraham Lim: I wouldn't put up, I wouldn't put up anyone from the guys, to be honest.

[18:23] Lily Mae Harrington: Well, I think about your man in the mirror a lot, which is something we were talking about.

[18:29] Abraham Lim: The red pants. He didn't want to do but I do.

[18:34] Lily Mae Harrington: I think about your man in the mirror thing a lot.

[18:42] Abraham Lim: I guess I like the color red.

[18:42] Lily Mae Harrington: I love you. You're sweet, Lily.

[18:42] Abraham Lim: I do. I think about it. I think about it too, in ways, in other ways.

[18:48] Lily Mae Harrington: But of course, we need to acknowledge Son of a Preacher Man. I mean, come on now.

[18:54] Abraham Lim: I love Son of a Preacher Man because Lily is like, because the thing is, I think up until that moment, like, because I think I said this to you, actually, even though we weren't super close while we were shooting the show. I think I remember just being like, you look so sweet right now. And I think when I watched the show live too, I just remember thinking like, because they built Lily up like because don't get me wrong, Lily and I are both like really strong people. And you know, if we have something that we feel like a strong conviction, or we're very passionate about something like we're gonna go for it. But Lily is also such a soft human being, which I think you can really hear in the music that she makes. And you can really see in, in moments of shows and films that she's worked on over the years, but like, she just looked so soft. And there was a part where she just like leaned against like the wall.

[19:42] Abraham Lim: Oh, and like, so good.

[19:42] Lily Mae Harrington: Yes, like how she looked and how she was singing to and the song and the arrangement. Like I thought everything about it just was really soft, and it showed to the different dimension. So I think I would actually put that above like, even I'm a greatest star, which I think was like, despite like the lyric flub, which I didn't even know about, I thought was like, super, super iconic.

[20:00] Abraham Lim: Which was edited from a thing before that I've talked about on TikTok. But it's okay. Moving on.

[20:17] Andrew: Hey, moving on. Okay, but like, okay, so now, with you, again, bringing it back to not being on Glee. With you not being on Glee, has it affected your relationship with this show that does not also leave the zeitgeist that it's like, this, this thing that you were so close to? How do you feel?

[20:35] Lily Mae Harrington: My relationship with Glee? Is that right?

[20:35] Abraham Lim: Yeah, I loved it. I absolutely loved it when it was first airing. And then I certainly had trouble watching it after the winner happened to be on there.

[20:55] Lily Mae Harrington: I, I think also, too, there was a level of like, I turned 19 or 20. And I was like, now living in LA as a full adult, you know, and you're out of high school.

[21:02] Abraham Lim: Yeah.

[21:07] Lily Mae Harrington: So I think there was, it was a combo of both of those things. I think, um, I think it, I was lucky that that, that I think really taught me a lesson. Because now as an actor, there's so many things you audition for that you don't get if you end up watching. And I'm so glad that that was the first one that I could really like, learn that on and not hold on to this thing of like, I could have done it, I could have done it better than that. And really, like accepting other people's art and performance and choices. And I think that was an important lesson for me, having that be kind of the first experience of that, for me.

[21:50] Abraham Lim: Yeah, yeah, totally.

[21:50] Lily Mae Harrington: Look, I think for me, I really enjoyed, like, I genuinely really loved Glee. Like I wasn't just on there to like, be famous or to, you know, to have that segue into the thing like that, to me at that time was the goal. I think that, you know, I think Kevin McHale actually just talked about this, right, Andrew?

[22:10] Andrew: I'm not sure.

[22:15] Lily Mae Harrington: But like, yeah, recent podcasts.

[22:15] Abraham Lim: Yeah.

[22:15] Lily Mae Harrington: And was just kind of like, after season, like, like, after, look, it makes sense. Like Corey Montes was like, kind of a huge part of the heart of the show. And I think Corey was gone. You know, and Kevin, hearing Kevin talk about it was actually really, really kind of like, right, that makes sense. Because I think a lot of people, they criticize Glee for kind of like flying off the handle after X seasons. But, you know, when the heart of your show is gone, and, you know, and people are grief stricken, and they're mourning, but they're continuing on. Because, you know, whether it be, you know, they don't because a lot again, it's not just actors on that show, right? It's a really working cast, who is the actual part of the show.

And so, you know, all these people are gonna be without jobs. So I'm sure that played a factor into it as well. So like, you know, I did stop watching, but not actually because like, I didn't get on the show. I just, because I think something that I've learned in the business, especially too, because I used to struggle with that same thing, like Lily was just talking about. But it's that like, when you're doing something that you love, and I think that one comparison is a cancer, and it's gonna fester, and it's gonna grow, and it's gonna rot every other part of what you do. And also, like, I never want to feel spiked in doing and pursuing something that I really, really love. And I genuinely believe, especially now that everything happens for a reason.

So you know, certain, you know, a person one and, you know, you know, amazing. But like, I think that, like, even bringing it back to the show that we're doing, and I swear to God, I didn't prep this, I just thought about it, because I'm not that media trained. I think when I think about still holding on with the title of our show that we're doing, it's like, we're not holding on to the past, or past gripes, or past heartbreaks, or, you know, even to certain people, to be quite honest, we've really let go of a lot of things. But like, what we're holding, what we're still holding on to is ourselves, is the thing, are the things that we love. And yeah, and also, like this friendship, because like, Lily is truly like one of my best friends in life that I would bail out of jail if she were in Nevada. I don't know why it would be Nevada, Lily, but I could see you there and enjoying yourself.

[24:32] Lily Mae Harrington: Yeah, my counting cards problem is probably what it's gonna be.

[24:37] Abraham Lim: That would be it.

[24:39] Andrew: But I would fly to Nevada and like, and bail her out. Like, you know, that's the type of friend we are. She's my family. And so

[24:45] Lily Mae Harrington: I love that.

[24:46] Abraham Lim: Yeah, we want to celebrate the show. Like, that's the set. The show is meant to be a celebration of all that we're still holding on to, and all that we've left behind too, right?

[24:56] Lily Mae Harrington: And all that we're creating in the future too.

[24:59] Andrew: Hey, we're on a path.

[25:01] Abraham Lim: That was good. Almost like I had a publicist.

[25:05] Andrew: There we go. Um, I can't wait for still holding on. I cannot wait.

[25:12] Lily Mae Harrington: The shift, the set list is like, it's morphing. Like, it's like, I keep changing it.

[25:17] Abraham Lim: Yeah.

[25:18] Lily Mae Harrington: And we're gonna do some together. And there is gonna be at least one special guest.

[25:25] Abraham Lim: Yeah.

[25:25] Lily Mae Harrington: Okay. I have my ideas.

[25:28] Andrew: Who do you think it is? Lily, just put on your poker face. Who do you think it is?

[25:32] Lily Mae Harrington: I think the two main options are Harper and Eileen. But I also know that Charlie is doing a show right now in Manhattan. I'm seeing a raised eyebrow from Lily. That might not mean anything.

[25:41] Abraham Lim: Um, but that's all I'll say.

[25:51] Andrew: Okay.

[26:01] Abraham Lim: Who had a better poker face than Andrew?

[26:04] Lily Mae Harrington: Um, well, I did clock Lily's raised eyebrow. You were pretty stone-faced the entire time.

[26:11] Abraham Lim: Literally, Lily, your hand is not covering your entire face.

[26:14] Lily Mae Harrington: Just because your hand is over your mouth.

[26:16] Andrew: Yeah, mine is just flopping. Who knows? Who knows?

[26:23] Abraham Lim: Yeah. That could be the play.

[26:25] Andrew: Okay. We're gonna, we're gonna bring it. We're gonna bring it tickly right now.

[26:29] Abraham Lim: We're gonna watch some performances.

[26:32] Andrew: We're gonna say, here we go.

[26:34] Abraham Lim: Here we go. We're gonna take a trip down memory lane. We have a season one song.

[26:42] Lily Mae Harrington: It's a chaotic one. It's a good one.

[26:44] Andrew: Oh my gosh. Okay.

[26:46] Abraham Lim: It's a man's man's man's world. Diana Agron. Who wants to start discourse?

[26:53] Andrew: What do we think about that number?

[26:55] Abraham Lim: Wow, wow, wow, wow. Well, again, who knew there could be so many pregnant teenagers in one school?

[27:02] Lily Mae Harrington: McKinley must be bigger than my high school.

[27:05] Abraham Lim: Pregnancy pact is real.

[27:07] Lily Mae Harrington: Yeah, it's real. It's real. Um, I think again, knowing Zach and Brooke, choreography wise, like they were just having so much fun with it that like, it just made it 20 times better because of their choreography to like, I gotta give it to them.

[27:26] Andrew: Perfect.

[27:28] Abraham Lim: Like, what was the other thing? The other thought I had?

[27:32] Lily Mae Harrington: I can't remember. But I enjoyed it. It made me want to actually go back and watch the pregnant teenagers like bopping around.

[27:39] Abraham Lim: Yeah.

[27:48] Lily Mae Harrington: Man, wait, but then I'm having such a brain fart.

[27:52] Abraham Lim: Uh huh.

[27:52] Lily Mae Harrington: Because again, it's been 1517 years, maybe since I've seen the first season.

[27:58] Abraham Lim: Yeah.

[27:59] Lily Mae Harrington: Who? Who is Quinn's baby daddy?

[28:03] Abraham Lim: It's puck. So initially, she says that it's Corey Finn, right? Um, but then all gets revealed as the season continues.

[29:08] Andrew: Yeah, it's I mean, like, that's, it's so interesting, just like doing this on a weekly basis. And, and because I think that it is, obviously, you know, I've said it a number of times on this podcast, but just like how much this show meant to me, similarly to the Glee Project as an extension, that like, you know, it's, it is like self soothing, you know, just to like, kind of like re approach it now that I'm dirty next month. Yeah, you know, like this thing that meant so much, so much to me in high school, that it's like, yeah, there are so many things that made this thing really special, but also so many things that are so tragic about the production of this show. So it's just
