[1:57] Allison: No.

[1:59] Andrew: I don't even know why I bring it up, but people like don't like them.

[2:03] Allison: So I think by season 13 of the Glee Project, you and I would be the hosts, and people would equally be like, get them off.

[2:03] Andrew: Get them off.

[2:11] Allison: Seriously.

[2:12] Andrew: I wish somebody would get me off.

[2:15] Allison: Stop!

[2:16] Andrew: Seriously?

[2:19] Allison: I had to make that joke a second time.

[2:22] Andrew: It was too.

[2:22] Allison: I feel like remember when we remember when we started and you were like, hey, at the beginning of this episode, I say this.

[2:28] Andrew: Can we cut that out?

[2:30] Allison: At the beginning of this episode, you're like, I don't care anymore.

[2:34] Andrew: Spank me daddy.

[2:35] Allison: Harder.

[2:35] Andrew: Harder.

[2:36] Allison: Harder.

[2:41] Andrew: Um annoyingly.

[2:44] Allison: I don't, I feel I was just I was just sharing with Allison Dodge, if you're not unfamiliar with her.

[2:44] Andrew: I was just sharing with Alice and Dodge before we started recording that I'm like fucking stressed about this episode because I feel like I needed to write down a checklist of things that we need to cover in this episode.

[2:59] Allison: Because not only are we doing a recap of episode zero, but you know, there we have some announcements.

[3:04] Andrew: Um first and foremost, it's my birthday.

[3:07] Allison: I was born um 28 years ago on November 20th.

[3:12] Andrew: And to celebrate, I had the grand idea of um hosting a Katie Gaga watch along.

[3:21] Allison: Katie Gaga, if you're unfamiliar, how dare you be unfamiliar with the Katie Gaga drinking game, first of all.

[3:27] Andrew: How dare you dare you?

[3:28] Allison: But if you are unfamiliar, it's okay, and I forgive you.

[3:33] Andrew: Um because Alison Dodge, if you know her, she's actually really, really mad at you.

[3:40] Allison: I'm actually really fucking angry that you don't know what the fuck Katie Gaga is.

[3:45] Andrew: So Katie Gaga is obviously season five, episode four of the redacted series Glee.

[3:50] Allison: Don't even talk about it.

[3:52] Andrew: Don't even dare.

[3:53] Allison: But we we can drink to that episode.

[3:56] Andrew: And that's exactly what we will be doing on November 17th at the ungodly hour of 4:30 in the afternoon doing a drinking game.

[4:06] Allison: Simply because Baby Boy wants to celebrate his birthday and make it to Titanic on time.

[4:12] Andrew: So I am using you.

[4:14] Allison: What?

[4:14] Andrew: I think that's good for English British people.

[4:18] Allison: I think so too, right?

[4:19] Andrew: Because I think that's a good thing.

[4:20] Allison: I think it's a good time.

[4:21] Andrew: What time is is 4:30 p.m. Eastern time in Britain?

[4:26] Allison: I think 4:30 p.m. Eastern is without looking at the time zone where it lands.

[4:32] Andrew: 3:30.

[4:33] Allison: I think it's it's easily accessible for everybody.

[4:36] Andrew: And here we go.

[4:37] Allison: Someone in Uganda is gonna be like, please.

[4:43] Andrew: Push it back an hour.

[4:44] Allison: Push it back an hour.

[4:46] Andrew: Uh but uh so November 17th at 4:30 p.m. Eastern, check your local listings, and this will be a pay this will be the bonus episode of November for the Patreon.

[5:00] Allison: So if you subscribe to the Patreon for just one month just to celebrate my birthday, it's only three dollars.

[5:07] Andrew: And um, you will also, an added perk will also get access to the Katie Gaga file where it pauses every time they say Katie or Gaga, so you know how to drink.

[5:17] Allison: I spent ages on this on this um video file, so I mean, honestly, it's the least you can do to help celebrate my birthday.

[5:24] Andrew: I really hope to see you um at my birthday event uh again at Friday, November 17th at 4:30 p.m. Eastern.

[5:33] Allison: Uh, the entire episode of us drinking along to the episode um will also be posted on Patreon.

[5:40] Andrew: So you'll get the standard file to do it alone by yourself, and also the file that you can see us doing it.

[5:48] Allison: Does that answer all the questions?

[6:22] Allison: The burpees.

[6:23] Andrew: That just reminded me like burpee.

[6:24] Allison: What is what is a burpee is like a push-up and then you do the jump.

[6:29] Andrew: It's like you jump up, you jump down, you into a a uh a plank, and then you do a push-up, and then you plank, and then you jump, and then you jump up.

[6:39] Allison: I can't do a single one.

[6:42] Andrew: You can do a single one.

[7:17] Allison: They got off.

[7:18] Andrew: They skadooshed.

[7:19] Allison: Uh okay, so you might be wondering, okay, this is episode zero of Glee Project um season one.

[7:26] Andrew: Uh, what is next on on board?

[7:29] Allison: Are we um what's next?

[7:31] Andrew: And I'll answer that question since you asked so kindly.

[7:35] Allison: Um, I will be doing an interview with Robert Ulrich coming up.

[7:39] Andrew: Um, that will be in your uh standard podcast feed.

[7:43] Allison: Um, hopefully with maybe within you know a week from the episode that you're hearing now.

[7:49] Andrew: If it doesn't, you know, scheduling things, but it will be in general podcast feed for everybody uh on a Tuesday coming soon.

[7:59] Allison: Um so if you want to send in questions for Robert, I thought of a few while watching this episode.

[8:07] Andrew: Yeah.

[8:07] Allison: Um go to Patreon and send in uh send in a question.

[8:12] Andrew: Hey Robert, who do you think sh would be hosting Glee Project season 13?

[8:19] Allison: Love Allison.

[8:20] Andrew: Thanks.

[8:20] Allison: That seems like a very leading question.

[8:24] Andrew: Exactly.

[8:25] Allison: I know exactly how he would answer.

[8:26] Andrew: He'd be like, oh yeah.

[8:28] Allison: Yeah.

[8:28] Andrew: Who would be you guys?

[8:30] Allison: Even though the redacted series is has been off the air.

[8:34] Andrew: A decade?

[8:35] Allison: Yeah.

[8:35] Andrew: Yeah.

[8:36] Allison: He doesn't care.

[8:37] Andrew: What's the I don't think the contestants would know.

[8:40] Allison: The contestants would be.

[8:41] Andrew: They've still been in line.

[8:44] Allison: Yeah, they're like still in line from 2010.

[8:47] Andrew: And then Ryan Murphy's at the end is like, you won, but I have some bad news.

[8:52] Allison: They're no longer making episodes.

[8:54] Andrew: He's no longer making episodes of this goddamn show.

[8:56] Allison: You won nothing.

[8:57] Andrew: You stupid bitch.

[8:59] Allison: You stupid bitch, he would say that.

[9:01] Andrew: I wish he would to my face.

[9:04] Allison: He would.

[9:04] Andrew: Didn't doesn't he do that in your sink when he pees in your sink?

[9:07] Allison: Isn't that part of the line?

[9:08] Andrew: Yeah, when he pees in my sink.

[9:10] Allison: He pees in my sink and then he turns in and butters me in the face.

[9:13] Andrew: I think he talks about like redacted Blaine being a junior the entire time or something like that.

[9:19] Allison: Yeah, Blaine was always a sophomore, you stupid bitch, and then he punches me in the face.

[9:24] Andrew: Right.

[9:24] Allison: And he also pees in your sink.

[9:26] Andrew: And he also pees in my sink.

[9:27] Allison: Which is like so weird, Ryan.

[9:29] Andrew: You're like, you gotta use a stool to get up there.

[9:32] Allison: So it's like the toilet.

[9:35] Andrew: It is a power move.

[9:36] Allison: That is the biggest power move.

[9:37] Andrew: Honestly, yeah.

[9:40] Allison: He can do that.

[9:40] Andrew: He's a lot.

[9:41] Allison: Can I ask you this question?

[9:42] Andrew: Have you ever peed in a sink?

[9:45] Allison: No, but I've been in the room with somebody else who's been peeing in the sink, like drunk girl antics.

[9:49] Andrew: I was peeing in the toilet and a friend was peeing in the sink.

[9:52] Allison: Mm-hmm.

[9:53] Andrew: That's fine.

[9:54] Allison: And uh Oh wait, it was a public sink.

[9:57] Andrew: Okay.

[10:00] Allison: Um, yeah, it was in a bar.

[10:01] Allison: Well, actually it was in a taco bell.

[10:03] Andrew: Oh, see, I don't know.

[10:03] Andrew: That's so like worse things have happened at the taco bell.

[10:09] Allison: Well, actually it was a taco bell.

[10:09] Andrew: Is that your home?

[10:13] Allison: Oh, Panera is your home.

[10:16] Andrew: Don't call him my phone.

[10:18] Allison: Um, you would think at this point I would.

[10:23] Andrew: Exactly.

[10:24] Allison: The Glee Project competition shook.

[10:26] Andrew: Um You would think that at this point I would be not nervous, but for whatever reason, it still persists.

[10:32] Allison: Next end uh nervous.

[10:34] Andrew: Still nervous.

[10:35] Allison: Um, I don't know why.

[10:37] Andrew: Wait, I what?

[10:40] Allison: Sorry, my hair was in the way of my earphones.

[10:44] Andrew: Long, beautiful hair.

[10:46] Allison: Thanks.

[10:47] Andrew: I just got it colored.

[10:48] Allison: Does that make you not nervous anymore?

[10:51] Andrew: I wish I could say it does.

[10:53] Allison: It makes me more nervous.

[10:56] Andrew: Bye!

[10:56] Allison: Wait, did you match the bayang?

[11:00] Andrew: Uh I tried.

[11:02] Allison: You okay.

[11:02] Andrew: And my hair stylist did give me some advice for inserting the bayang into my hair for the Taylor Swift costume.

[11:09] Allison: Mm-hmm.

[11:10] Andrew: I'm gonna be trying something stuff.

[11:11] Allison: Do you want to share with the class?

[11:13] Andrew: Well, I'm gonna do a little like mini braid right here just to get the like front pieces of my hair out of the way, and then I have to clip in the bangs from there, and it'll help stay.

[11:23] Allison: But that does imply that the bangs are staying all night, like from the beginning.

[11:27] Andrew: Oh, so it's different than our plan.

[11:30] Allison: The plan would be to bring the bangs as like a little pet.

[11:33] Andrew: So my idea for the glisteners at home uh was that I thought that Alison putting a bayang on for Halloween as Taylor would be distracting because it would bring attention to the fact that she does not typically have a bae in.

[11:51] Allison: But I think you you keep that bae yang on you, and then you have it as a fun little party game as the night goes on.

[11:58] Andrew: And then everybody in your posse pin the bae yang on the Taylor Swift.

[12:02] Allison: Or or just paint pin the bae yang on whoever wants it.

[12:05] Andrew: Is that like a lice spreader?

[12:07] Allison: That's not lice.

[12:08] Andrew: That's not on the scalp, right?

[12:10] Allison: It is on the scalp.

[12:11] Andrew: Oh but I don't have lice.

[12:14] Allison: I don't have lice.

[12:15] Andrew: I think I would be the first person to use it.

[12:17] Allison: You can't say that for the rest of the.

[12:20] Andrew: Oh, you the people that I'm bar crawling with the entirety of Minnesota.

[12:24] Allison: Or the people that you meet.

[12:26] Andrew: You might meet someone that you want to put that bang on.

[12:29] Allison: I know, and then they have lice.

[12:31] Andrew: But I don't really want to talk to people that have lice.

[12:33] Allison: I mean, like, you don't know that.

[12:37] Andrew: You don't know.

[12:37] Allison: Figure that out.

[12:38] Andrew: Where does lice come from?

[12:40] Allison: How is lice different than crabs?

[12:43] Andrew: Oh, come on.

[12:44] Allison: Don't ask that.

[12:45] Andrew: Seriously.

[12:46] Allison: Did you not did you I we also have another agenda item, but I I am more interested about this question.

[12:52] Andrew: Did you never did you ever have a lice scare at your school?

[12:56] Allison: No.

[12:57] Andrew: Well, that's a lie.

[13:00] Allison: Uh I did have to pick up my best friend from her house because her sister had lice, and she had to go.

[13:07] Andrew: There were like lice storefronts.

[13:11] Allison: Huh.

[13:12] Andrew: And like there were like storefronts that it was like, bring your lice kid here and we'll clean you.

[13:19] Allison: Or like we'll come to your house and clean your lice for you.

[13:22] Andrew: But I don't see that very often anymore.

[13:24] Allison: That was like a business that was just common.

[13:27] Andrew: Yeah.

[13:28] Allison: Yeah.

[13:28] Andrew: It was a business.

[13:29] Allison: Like, oh, we'll come to your house and we'll clean your lice.

[13:29] Andrew: We'll clean your lice.

[13:43] Andrew: I don't like that they're they have to be autonomous. But like how they have to be the same thing. They're the same size. No, but what really trips me up is that they have autonomy, that they have willpower, that they have goals. You know? And I'm like lice to bury themselves in your scalp.

[14:03] Allison: Do you know what the singular lice is like a plural word? Do you know what the singular for a lice is?

[14:10] Andrew: Lie?

[14:12] Allison: No, louse.

[14:13] Andrew: Louse. That's disgusting. Which would make sense. One louse. They're gross. Huh. Um. But then I've never had a tick before either, and I'm really, really deathly afraid of getting a tick. Because I found out there's kinds of ticks that if they bite you, they make you allergic to red meat. We've already talked about this in a Glee Project recap before.

[14:39] Andrew: Um, but I'm kind of surprised that you've never gotten a tick before. Honestly, when I was growing up, 'cause I live in a very woodsy area. I would get ticks all the goddamn time.

[14:49] Allison: Honestly, this is a good thing.

[14:50] Andrew: Yeah, the upper west side? Very woodsy. Where I grew up, everybody. Audio medium, my hands are up in the air. Um, I would honestly like this is gr as a child, Andrew would look forward to getting ticks because they were so fun to pull off. And like that, every every every child in my area.

[15:14] Allison: No, you can't put this on me.

[15:16] Andrew: Every child in my area would be like, Yeah, I think I feel the same way. Like it's really they wanted to get a tick? And like I remember like my parents would be like, Oh, Andrew, there's a tick on the dog if you want to pull it off, and it's like a fun activity.

[15:29] Allison: That is a thing. Like I the picking at yourself is like such a like thing that there are actually stuffed animals that the point of the stuffed animal is to pick it.

[15:44] Andrew: Really?

[15:47] Allison: Is to pick to pick the little feathers out of the skin of the stuffed animal and you save the feathers and you put 'em in another stuffed animal. So when you end, you have two stuffed animals. Bringing it back to my birthday, this is a great birthday gift. Honestly, I might get you one.

[16:05] Andrew: Honestly, I want it. I remember I don't even know how it how this even happened, but I remember growing up, my dog walked into the room, and it looked like a raisin just fell off of our dog. And no, it was just a tick that got so goddamn big that it just like couldn't hold on anymore.

[16:26] Allison: And I'm like, how? Sucked enough blood that it was just That is so fucking disgusting. There are things in this world that survive off of other creatures' blood, and I think that's problematic. End mosquitoes.

[16:41] Andrew: And mosquitoes, talk about it. Okay. Why are we not ending canceling mosquitoes?

[16:50] Allison: Okay. Oh god. Oh god. Okay. Um wait, I can't sing anything for this episode. What would it be? Like the final twelve!

[16:57] Andrew: The final twelve! The the the the final twelve.

[17:05] Allison: Oh, that was funky. That was kinda cool. I feel like you should you want to try one?

[17:10] Andrew: No.

[17:11] Allison: Okay. It's the final twelve.

[17:23] Andrew: Oh gosh. I am very excited. We have a lot to discuss. We have a lot to discuss, and we want to start with um I mean, how would you even describe this?

[17:35] Allison: The article, the insider article.

[17:37] Andrew: Okay, so th there was um in I just want to give, you know, a little like agenda ahead of time. You know, we're for everybody's benefit. For everybody's benefit, we are going to be discussing uh Glee Project Insider Article first. We will be discussing um the episode zero, season one episode of Glee Project second. Then we will be doing Glackett Project to discover um the best song on Glee Project season one. Am I missing anything?

[18:07] Allison: No. Um I was trying to make up our intro, but like make it Glee Project. We've got a mission to find the find the best song that's ever been on the Glee Project. Glee Project, Glee Project.

[18:22] Andrew: Um okay, so this Insider article came out, I believe last year. Um what were your general take?

[18:30] Allison: I feel bad because okay, to give context, um, a listener reached out and they were like, hi, I don't know if you're aware of this article, but there are some blind items. There uh, you know, you're uh talking about topics that have been, I guess, brought to light uh in this article. Um, and I don't know if you're willingly willfully, I don't know, avoiding them, avoiding these little like um takeaways from this article, but uh here's the article.

[19:03] Andrew: And I was aware of the article, honestly. I don’t read much, so I uh I don't read it. I didn't read it, so but I did know.

[19:10] Allison: We both read it. What was your what was your main takeaways?

[19:15] Andrew: Um my main takeaway, I did learn things that I didn't know. But and because we have talked to a lot of these similar people, we've talked to Cameron, we've talked to Damien, we've talked to Lindsay, we've talked to Harper, we've talked to Abraham, we've talked to Samuel Larson. We talked to Alice Stroker. Because we I think that we talked to Ali Stroker. Everybody that was interviewed here.

[19:38] Allison: Everybody in the article?

[19:40] Andrew: Yeah. Because we've talked to everybody in the article about the exact same topic that they're discussing, a lot of the stuff we knew already.

[19:47] Allison: Yeah.

[19:47] Andrew: Like one of the newest things I learned about the Glee Project, not from this insider article, but but from your interview with Ellis, was that this was literally shot season one was filmed on like a camp ground.

[20:03] Allison: Did we not learn that from the used outhouse? Did we not learn this from Lindsay?

[20:07] Andrew: No, I feel like Lindsay said that.

[20:09] Allison: We must have, but like I that was so long ago at this point. That was literally recorded in 2020.

[20:15] Andrew: Yeah.

[20:15] Allison: And I remember Lindsay saying in the interview, and like I do the same shit, so like I can't even blame her that she said like the same um statement in this insider article that she provided us with about like the deer ticks. Remember that? Where she was like, oh, we were taught about deer ticks, where I'm like, I do the same shit where I'm like, I say the same stuff to everybody, you know, and then it's yeah, and then it's like a remember Lady Gaga where she was like, there could be a thousand people in a room. There could be a hundred people in a room. Ninety-nine people won't believe in you, but only one person will.

[20:51] Andrew: And for me, that was Bradley. Is this not landing for you? Do you remember when she did that entire press tour and she just said that at every microphone that was shoved in her face, and people like compiled an entire compilation of every time that Lydia Gaga said that exact quote?

[21:07] Allison: No, but I kind of love that because that's me in a job interview. When I find a line that hits in a job interview, I'm like, oh my god, I'm gonna use that for the rest of my goddamn life, no matter what I'm about to do. I go to job interviews and I'm like, on Glee Project Season 1, we were all taught um what the difference between ticks.

[21:26] Andrew: Yeah.

[21:27] Allison: So Wow, the tick that sucks your blood and then makes you allergic to beef. How I'm I I quickly forgot that we gotta talk about this tick every week. We've already talked about you. You've got a tick on ticks, huh?

[21:40] Andrew: It's a tick for you.

[21:41] Allison: I gotta talk about the ticks today. Um, yeah, this article, I mean, there was a uh a few things that I did learn. I didn't know that Harper Gray came out to Ryan Murphy. Like, and like it could have been aired. They very easily could have aired that. Um, but they decided not to, and um learned that uh Lindsay's whole backstory to um Lindsay's whole backstory to her word fake for everybody's benefit. Lindsay expresses in the article that she shared with the Glee Project producers when she was trying to figure out her word was um about her being sexually assaulted, and that she just kind of has to put on this face to make it seem like she's okay, and that's why she feels fake.

[22:35] Andrew: But that entire storyline was cut.

[22:38] Allison: Yeah.

[22:39] Andrew: Be and they made it seem like this was in something completely different. Episode three vulnerability when I feel like I remember it all too well, 10 minute version, where they're all in the cuddle puddle where Eric White comes in and is like, um, vulnerabilities, go. And then they have the Lindsay, like, um, like uh, it's like almost like a diatribe where she's just going on and on about like being perceived as fake, and then it cuts to like Cameron moaning and Emily rolling her eyes and everything.

[23:11] Allison: And what we didn't see is that she opened up about being a sexual assault survivor, and um which I just found, and that was the that was the big thing that the the listener brought to my attention about like, hey, yeah, want you to know, you know, you're not acknowledging this.

[23:28] Andrew: Um, which I think is very article before that. Did not know.

[23:32] Allison: Um so yeah, I think it's that's terrible. It's awful.

[23:39] Andrew: Yeah.

[23:39] Allison: Um, I don't it's just I yeah. That they continued to like villainize her, and we've talked about this entire season about like how she got the villain edit, but um, I guess it just like simply from a story point, um, they were just like, oh, this wouldn't make sense for the villain to come forward with this information.

[24:01] Andrew: Right.

[24:02] Allison: So right. Fucked up. I uh even just like learning that they had a psychologist on site, I guess that makes sense for a reality competition. I feel like reality competitions are not new. Glee Project wasn't the first one.

[24:20] Andrew: Yeah.

[24:21] Allison: Um so it was smart to have a psychologist on site. And I wonder if I mean uh Lindsay expresses in the article that she doesn't know if anybody used the psychologist. She definitely didn't, but um I wonder if like shows like because when you're siphoned off like this, sequestered from society like this, like they couldn't even read magazines or books for why.

[24:49] Andrew: Right.

[24:49] Allison: Why couldn't you read a book on the Glee Project? Like, I've also recently found out that they can't do that on Golden Bachelor, which I'm I guess I guess it goes for the entire bachelor's. They can't read, they can't watch movies, they can't do anything.

[25:03] Andrew: And I'm like, they can't like I don't know. Last week on the Golden Bachelor, without going too far into Golden Bachelor territory, but like last week, one of the women like missed her daughter's wedding because she's competing for love. And I'm like, what are we doing here? Seriously?

[25:21] Allison: I hate it.

[25:23] Andrew: Well, I have my own I thoughts about that. I wonder if it wasn't the daughter's first wedding.

[25:28] Allison: Oh, I have I also felt it because you've watched all the episodes now.

[25:33] Andrew: Yeah, I watched the episode.

[25:34] Allison: Yep. Because I thought I wonder if it wasn't the daughter's first wedding, and I wonder if it was just like a little court. We're going to court and we're selling a paper. And it's not a big to-do. Um, but uh yeah, I but also both of our opinions right now are in favor of production. They're like, well, maybe exactly. We want her to be on the show, and we want her to keep making content for us, and we don't want to feel weird about it.

[26:00] Andrew: Right.

[26:00] Allison: Because she missed an important event for her child. That's how they spin it and that's how they make the stupid people at home like us think. They make the big bucks.

[26:10] Andrew: That's why they make the big bucks. What another thing that shocked me a lot about this insider article was that the Glee Project was kind of the pr like Robert Ulrich, Zach Woodley, Ryan Murphy's Brain Child in like 2010. But then they dropped it, but then they picked it up again. Um because of Oxygen was making a deal with Fox and was like, we want to run reruns of Glee.

[26:41] Allison: Yeah.

[26:41] Andrew: Here's how it will be good for you. Here's how it will be good for us. We're gonna give you a lot of money, and because of that, we want the Glee reality show. We want to be able to do that. That's why it was on Oxygen and not Fox. We want it on our network. So Ryan Murphy was kind of like, oh, this is a project that I forgot about. Now I guess I have to do it.

[27:01] Allison: Yeah.

[27:02] Andrew: Like he the language of the article and the language that Ryan Murphy used in this article is very much like, oh, now I have to do it. Like I didn't really actually want to. It went from a project I didn't want to do to something that I had to do.

[27:14] Andrew: Well, I would be curious. And he was genuinely our like little assumptions that Ryan is not watching anything before he shows up at the end of the episode.

[27:23] Allison: Completely true. He was not watching anything. He's briefed during makeup by Robert Ulrich before he sits down. Robert would be like, here's what happened this week.

[27:31] Andrew: Um, but uh what was I about to say? The kiss during Yeah. Baby It's Cold Outside. What the fuck? They did not name drop Eric White, but like what the fuck? Did they not name drop? Was that all in my head? They did they they said the music video producer suggested hey, a music video director said, Hey, a kiss has worked in the past. Why don't you kiss Cameron at the end of this? And like they doubled down about like literally number one public villain.

[28:08] Allison: What what what was they calling them? Uh public enemy number one.

[28:11] Andrew: Public enemy? Public enemy number one, Eric White, literally, uh a decade later, can like things are coming up, baby boy. I was spot on. You are not doing your job. That's great. Um, for it to be even like framed as if because okay, so what we were, as the stupid viewers at home were led to believe was that Lindsay saw Marissa kiss um Samuel for their music video, and then Lindsay was like, ooh, that worked for them. So let me kiss Cameron during our music video, like surprise sneak attack. Um, but what actually happened as came out from this article is that Eric told Lindsay that that would be uh, you know, for a best interest of the video, and uh she did that, and she felt really terrible about it and went to Cameron's dorm after that night and was like, I am so deeply sorry.

And Cameron, um, you know, a decade later is like I have no ill will against Lindsay at all, but I imagine that he probably harbors some um negative feelings for production, which I feel he absolutely should. That was very bad work scenario. So yeah.

[29:36] Allison: Hmm. Yeah. I think all in all this article like went a little bit more in depth into the negativity of it all. We on this podcast, like, we've been very careful about like who and what we talk about, because uh we're making a glacket, like we want to keep things light and fun, and we're talking about a show that has been over for eight years. Like we want to keep it light and fun, and there's certain topics and certain people and certain things that we don't want like to address or like don't really like to talk about on our podcast.

[30:13] Andrew: Right. So especially in the beginning, like talking with a lot of during our Glee Project era where we interviewed a lot of Glee Project people.

[30:23] Allison: Sure. We weren't about to like ask them like what's your emotional trauma regarding the Glee Project.

[30:29] Andrew: Sure. Also, what do you think of River Deep Mountain High?

[30:33] Allison: Oh, exactly. That would oh my god. It's not what we were out to about to do. That's just what we were gonna do. So much. But I this that was what this article wanted to do, and that was I think that that is very much the point of the article, and yeah.

[30:51] Andrew: Yeah, the hotel. Are there and everyone is aware of them that will be aware of them. Some other uh tidbits that I found interesting from this article was that one of the producers um suggested that the the keep holding on song that they would sing at the end of and end of every episode would be I'm coming home. I'm going home from Rocky Horror. And I was like, wow, what a shift that would have been instead of keep holding on.

[31:23] Allison: I don't even know that song. It's like what um Frankenfurter sings like as he's like it's been a while since I've watched it, but he's being like abducted by aliens.

[31:33] Andrew: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that would have been a bad case. Keep holding on is so much better and so much more glee. I'm going home would have been very on the nose. Very, very awkward. Um, what the fuck? Let's see. And then what else do I have? Oh. Um, Cameron talking about being an F Less star as a result of being on this series, and that him and Damien. She got into Nobu. They didn't need to wait to go into Nobu. Like, oh, hi, welcome to Nobu. Oh, you're Cameron and Damien from the Glee Project. Let me just let you in. No line. What? Have you ever been to Nobu?

[32:12] Allison: I'm like. No, but we drove past Nobu on our um our LA trip. Why do I feel like there's a Nobu in Manhattan?

[32:22] Andrew: I don't know. Maybe. I don't know what Nobu is. I'm not like a fancy restaurant kind of person. The most fancy restaurant I've ever been to was Olive Garden.

[32:37] Allison: Don't worry about it. You know where I went? I went to text you last week when I was there, but I was having too much fun in the moment to be on my damn phone. Um that happens. Uh I was at um Bill's Bar and Burger. I did not have a blue Hawaiian. But I love Bill's Bar and Burger. That's the best, that's the most fanciest place I've ever been to. I I'm sure that we've shared a pot on the podcast, but like truly one of my favorite memories with you is going to Bill's Bar and Burger and asking the waiter for two blue Hawaiians for us each at one time. Like, bring out four for the table. Four drinks for the table. And there were people. They were just like, no. No. But we did like you can have one at a time. We did, we did power through to get to four for the table.

[33:30] Andrew: Um my favorite memories are being absolutely wrecked in the 30 Rock train station right by Bill's Bar and Burger. And then we walked home oh this would be a fun carousel we walked home through Times Square and I recreated the post like because that's when all the Ocean's eight posters struck work oceans were up and I recreate that that was fun. I feel like should that was fun we were really really drunk and I think we we walked in front of the Aladdin theater and I like stood underneath the star for Aladdin and like pointed to it. That would and I think that's that we got Slurpee we got Slurpee it is oh god I don't want this entire carousel to just be that night but I think it's to be that night that it was so fucking fun.

[34:22] Allison: It should be that should be the entire carousel it should be at this and that was the night where you threw the Slurpee on the ground and there's a chicken you can hear a chicken in the background of the video and we didn't notice it until weeks later.

[34:35] Andrew: Right. Like wait there's a chicken in the background there was a chicken in the background of the video. Who's got a chicken in New York City on the lower east side it was Chelsea.

[34:44] Allison: I don't know if you were okay well sorry is that like a terrible I'm I live in a flyover state okay do you know where Minnesota is I literally still don't I don't think I think Minnesota is a a Canadian border state.

[35:03] Andrew: Yes. That's good enough for me. We touch Canada. I can watch the water. I think I could figure it out if I wanted I remember you gave me a framed picture of Minnesota, and I was like, well, I don't know what this is.

[35:15] Allison: Yeah. Didn't know that was. I think I've given you multiple things that are shaped like Minnesota at this point.

[35:20] Andrew: You have there is a magnet on my fridge that is shaped like Minnesota. The magnet is starting to fall off from the wooden piece that is the state. But I'm like, every so often I apply like a new double-sided tape to keep it intact, but it will it will occasionally fall off. Anyway, to wrap up this conversation about insider um Glee Project, I implore you all to read it yourselves. It's very insightful. Um very terrible what these young adults needed to go through. Um, but um the quote that I really liked toward the end of the article was from Lindsay, who said, It's a dangerous thing to say. Well, you wouldn't have the career you have. Yeah, maybe not, but I also wouldn't be as wounded as I am today. And I'm like, that applies to so many different things where it's like, yeah, like I'm here today, but at the I don't know, to have like have all these scars as an effect. I don't I don't know if it was worth it. So anyway.

[36:29] Andrew: Anything else?

[36:31] Allison: No. Um, I want to talk about uh the Glee Project introduction to the Glee Project. This was a really fun for this episode. We watched the like pre episode. It was like a pre episode one thing that aired that I must have watched back in the day, but like I don't remember.

[36:53] Andrew: You don't remember. We watched this, we watched this together.

[36:56] Allison: We just watched this.

[36:57] Andrew: Yeah, you and I just watched this.

[36:59] Allison: Okay, but I don't think I watched it before that.

[37:02] Andrew: Oh, I remember a question that I was I was gonna ask earlier was when we were talking about it Glee Project being on oxygen. How do you think we knew as teenagers with like growing social media that was like not that big of a thing at that point? Because I don't think that it was on Instagram or Twitter at that point. How did we know to tune into Oxygen every um Sunday night? Did they play ads on Fox? Is that something that networks do?

[37:31] Allison: I don't know. If they've got a partnership deal? If it's syndicated.

[37:36] Andrew: Right. Do you have any idea?

[37:41] Allison: Like, I don't know what I genuinely. How did I find out about new shows in 2010? I mean, how did I find out about Glee? Ads on Fox. Well, people talking about it. iTunes. Tumblr. I was already in the Tumblr verse of Glee before Glee Project. So I probably learned about it through Tumblr.

[38:05] Andrew: Yeah. I I I was you were Tumblr. I was like occasionally on Tumblr, but I was like a big Glee wiki head. I would like just refresh the um the comment threads on like the most recent episode, and then that's where the conversation would be taking place. And so I feel like maybe that's where I found out. But yeah, because I remember being excited about it.

[38:32] Allison: Right. I remember my mom watched the first episode with me, and I thought, like, oh, this would be like a fun thing to watch with my mom all summer. She was over it after the first episode.

[38:45] Andrew: Um my god. So episode zero, which yeah, I feel like I must have it it aired along with the first episode, I would imagine.

[38:55] Allison: Yeah, before the first one. They were just missing the like Alex Newell pushing in the number down to the first episode. But they did have in the bottom right hand corner the um Cameron and Emily, which I thought I guess at that point.

[39:12] Andrew: The whole time.

[39:13] Allison: The entire time. Like where they were like delivering, like, oh, like oxygen, go to oxygen oxygen.com. And I was like thinking in my head, I'm like, is this a spoiler that like we're watching who is being selected?

[39:26] Andrew: Right. But I feel like at that point we must have had like a cast poster, right?

[39:31] Allison: Yeah.

[39:34] Andrew: Yeah. This episode starts and it does a cute little introduction to Glee. Uh briefly sharing little B-roll of Amber Riley on a red carpet.

[39:47] Allison: On the hot topic tour, yeah.

[39:49] Andrew: On the hot topic tour. Oh god, the hot topic tour. You didn't go to that, right?

[39:56] Allison: No, I didn't like Glee at the time. And I also was like 13, so I like couldn't take myself. I think Hot Topic Tour happened after only the first episode came out. So like all the fans that were there were just fans of one 45 minute piece of content something that when I have children that I'm gonna make sure to do. I live and will live when I have children, probably very close to the mall of America.

[40:29] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[40:30] Allison: And maybe you feel the same way living so close to New York City, but like having grown up 20 minutes from the Mall of America, the Mall of America was like, look up Mall of America concert series, and you will see every celebrity you've ever thought of. Yeah. Has done a concert at the Mall of America, a free concert.

[40:51] Andrew: And growing up, I would hear, like, oh, the Hunger Games cast is gonna be at the Mall of America.

[41:02] Allison: And I would I couldn't drive, so I would have to convince my family to drive me 20 minutes to the Mall of America at an ungodly hour.

[41:13] Andrew: Leave me alone.

[41:14] Allison: You can't do that anymore.

[41:16] Andrew: You have to be 16 to be alone at the Mall of America.

[41:18] Allison: Really?

[41:20] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[41:20] Allison: They check your ID at the door.

[41:22] Andrew: Oh wow.

[41:23] Allison: Okay.

[41:24] Andrew: As if this is vital information to me.

[41:27] Allison: Well, frankly, because Mall of America is one of the biggest uh child sex trafficking locations in the country.

[41:35] Andrew: So that's why they make you come with a parent or a legal guardian.

[41:39] Allison: But under the age of 16, but um, there were so many opportunities to meet my like idols.

[41:49] Andrew: Yeah, that I didn't get to go because my parents just wouldn't drive me or wouldn't take me.

[41:54] Allison: God.

[41:55] Andrew: Like who like let's let's have uh a little like therapeutic exercise.

[42:00] Allison: Like, like who were the celebrities that you missed out on having a connection with?

[42:05] Andrew: Like, hello, my name is Alison Dodge, Miss Beyonce Knowles.

[42:08] Allison: So uh the Mall of America has a amusement park inside of it.

[42:17] Andrew: Right.

[42:18] Allison: Amusement park used to be called Camp Snoopy.

[42:20] Andrew: It was Charles Schultz.

[42:21] Allison: Charles Schultz is a Minnesotan.

[42:23] Andrew: There are Snoopies everywhere, all over the Minneapolis Twin Cities area.

[42:30] Allison: And Camp Snoopy was the theme park.

[42:34] Andrew: They rebranded Camp Snoopy in like 2008, 2009 to be Nickelodeon Universe.

[42:41] Allison: Mm-hmm.

[42:42] Andrew: And when it became Nickelodeon Universe, they invited all of these.

[42:46] Allison: I remember you telling me about this.

[42:47] Andrew: Yeah.

[42:48] Allison: Yeah.

[42:48] Andrew: Celebrities to come to the park and ride the rides with people.

[42:53] Allison: And in 2008, 2008, you said?

[42:56] Andrew: Yeah.

[42:57] Allison: And my parents would not take me.

[42:59] Andrew: We were what?

[43:00] Allison: That's 12, maybe.

[43:02] Andrew: Yeah, 12, 13.

[43:03] Allison: Yeah.

[43:03] Andrew: Okay.

[43:05] Allison: And my parents would not take me, so I missed out on meeting Miranda Cosgrove.

[43:11] Andrew: Nat and Alex Wolf, the loves of my life.

[43:13] Allison: I could be happily married to Nat Wolf.

[43:15] Andrew: To both of them.

[43:16] Allison: Yeah.

[43:16] Andrew: Um, the both of them, Nat and Alex Wolf.

[43:19] Allison: Um, Josh Peck, Drake Bell, Kiki Palmer.

[43:22] Andrew: Oh, key redacted Drake Bell, yeah.

[43:25] Allison: Well, yeah, at the time.

[43:27] Andrew: Um, Amanda Bynes, they were all there at the Mall of America, and uh I didn't get to go, and I was very, very upset.

[43:37] Allison: Well, I what I think it was was one of those things where your parents obviously don't want to go, and they're like, well, fine, yeah, I guess we'll work it out.

[43:48] Andrew: And then it's like, well, no, okay, never mind, never mind.

[43:52] Allison: No, actually, I don't want to go.

[43:53] Andrew: Like, it doesn't really matter.

[43:55] Allison: When in reality, I want to fucking meet Nat Wolf so bad.

[43:59] Andrew: Right.

[44:00] Allison: What do you think that 13-year-old?

[44:02] Andrew: This is again my therapeutic exercise.

[44:05] Allison: What do you think that 13-year-old Allison Dodge would say to Nat Wolf?

[44:08] Andrew: Um, big kiss.

[44:12] Allison: I wanted to kiss him.

[44:14] Andrew: I don't think that you would have the wherewithal to say big kiss.

[44:17] Allison: No, I would just simply look at him.

[44:19] Andrew: I would be starstruck and look at him and be like, oh my god, I'm in the presence of Nat Wolf.

[44:23] Allison: And now as a fully grown 27-year-old could say, I was in the room with Nat and Alex Wolf.

[44:31] Andrew: Right.

[44:31] Allison: At the peak of their team.

[44:35] Andrew: Well, that's true.

[44:35] Allison: It was Naked Brothers Man the peak of Nat and Alex Wolf's career.

[44:39] Andrew: I don't think so.

[44:39] Allison: Why did I why would I say that?

[44:41] Andrew: Um Allison, you're right in the chat.

[44:44] Allison: Uh Taylor Swift definitely came to the Mall of America.

[44:46] Andrew: Didn't get to see her.

[44:48] Allison: Um I did get to see Hunger Games cast.

[44:52] Andrew: Um, you're okay.

[44:54] Allison: I did get to see Hunger Games cast, and I did get to see One Direction.

[44:59] Andrew: Uh Al uh Eduardo Alex Wolf is the one in hereditary.

[45:03] Allison: Um, he's the one in hereditary, he's also in Oppenheimer struck work.

[45:06] Andrew: Um but I did get to see One Direction because I at that time I was like, I don't give a fuck if my parents want to go to the mall or not.

[45:17] Allison: I am going to the Mall of America.

[45:18] Andrew: I am figuring out the bus schedule to go to the Mall of America to see One Direction.

[45:24] Allison: I do not give a shit.

[45:25] Andrew: And you know what?

[45:26] Allison: Harry Styles looked me in the eyes, and I got to touch Louie Tomlinson.

[45:31] Andrew: So I don't regret anything.

[45:33] Allison: Wow.

[45:34] Andrew: That's great.

[45:36] Allison: And so when I have children, if my kids want to go meet their little teeny bopper celebs at the Mall of America, I will be like, absolutely happy.

[45:44] Andrew: Caesar.

[45:45] Allison: Cesorp Adorp, the AI teeny bop celebrity.

[45:49] Andrew: I'm like, please, mommy.

[45:50] Allison: Mommy, I have to go meet my AI.

[45:53] Andrew: My AI screen friend.

[45:55] Allison: My AI.

[45:56] Andrew: She comes in my bedroom and she reads me stories before bed.

[46:00] Allison: I have to go to the Mall of America to meet her.

[46:04] Andrew: Oh.

[46:05] Allison: I'm gonna take my daughter there.

[46:07] Andrew: I don't give a fuck.

[46:08] Allison: I'll go sit at the Caribou Coffee.

[46:11] Andrew: There's three of them in the Mall of America.

[46:13] Allison: I was gonna ask, how many caribou coffee do you see?

[46:16] Andrew: That was gonna be that was my next question.

[46:19] Allison: Um I went to a a lost event in 2010, and they could not compile any of the main cast members to be at this event.

[46:32] Andrew: But I was still star-struck by like people that were in like two episodes, and I was like, oh my god, there's the guy that blew up in the season one finale.

[46:43] Allison: Oh god!

[46:44] Andrew: Dude, that shit is so important.

[46:46] Allison: Like, that's why I loved the Tony Awards because that shit, like, that made me like want to fucking move to LA and go to Nobu, bringing it back to the Glee Project.

[46:46] Andrew: Bringing it back to Nobu.

[46:56] Allison: Because holy shit, I was like, oh my god, Andrew Garfield, oh my god, Leah Michelle, oh my god, Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

[47:03] Andrew: Like I said, I feel bad for saying this.

[47:05] Allison: But like, how about like the Indian guy from Pitch Perfect?

[47:07] Andrew: We saw him coming down the stairs, and I was like, I was like, you're not you're important to me.

[47:12] Allison: I know you've done more important things than Pitch Perfect, but important unfortunately, this is that's what you are to me.

[47:19] Andrew: At this point in my life, that's who you are.

[47:21] Allison: And I love you.

[47:22] Andrew: And I I'm so glad I'm in your presence.

[47:24] Allison: Becca asks in the chat, has Miley been to the Mall of America?

[47:27] Andrew: Let's see.

[47:27] Allison: Miley Cyrus Mall of America.

[47:30] Andrew: I'm can almost guarantee that Jonas brothers have been to the Mall of America.

[47:35] Allison: Um I mean, it's the Mall of America.

[47:38] Andrew: It's the Mall of Wait.

[47:41] Allison: Oh, that's the Westfield Mall.

[47:44] Andrew: Images.

[47:44] Allison: Miley Cyrus Mall of America.

[47:46] Andrew: Noah Cyrus did a concert at the Mall of America.

[47:49] Allison: Okay.

[47:50] Andrew: You can't.

[47:51] Allison: That honestly brings down your argument right now.

[47:55] Andrew: Sharon just did a live performance of Lego House at the Lego store of the Mall of America.

[48:01] Allison: Can you believe that?

[48:02] Andrew: What an apt place for him to be singing that.

[48:05] Allison: I know.

[48:06] Andrew: So crazy.

[48:07] Allison: I don't think Miley Cyrus has been to the Mall of America, but you know what?

[48:10] Andrew: There's still time.

[48:12] Allison: Hmm.

[48:13] Andrew: There's still time because Mall of America will never die.

[48:16] Allison: Thank God.

[48:17] Andrew: I love the Mall of America.

[48:20] Allison: Okay.

[48:20] Andrew: That's the only place I can go to three caribos in one day.

[48:24] Allison: Oh, I was gonna ask.

[48:26] Andrew: How many carab so episode zero.

[48:31] Allison: Okay.

[48:32] Andrew: I mean, if we to circle back, Ember Riley was photographed at a time.

[48:35] Allison: At the hot topic at the Mall of America.

[48:39] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[48:39] Allison: Uh-huh.

[48:40] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[48:41] Allison: So, Glee Project, they're they're introducing.

[48:45] Andrew: Dana Walden.

[48:46] Allison: Can I say Dana Walden?

[48:48] Andrew: Is that bitch?

[48:50] Allison: Is that bitch?

[48:51] Andrew: Looks like an actress.

[48:53] Allison: Do you know who I'm talking about?

[48:54] Andrew: She looks like the mom in 17 again.

[48:59] Allison: Are you talking about like Leslie Mann?

[49:01] Andrew: Yeah.

[49:02] Allison: Yes.

[49:03] Andrew: Is Leslie Mann the mom in 17 again?

[49:05] Allison: I want you to look this up after you're done searching Noah Cyrus at the Mall of America.

[49:10] Andrew: Okay, wait, wait, wait.

[49:11] Allison: Literally look at this right now.

[49:13] Andrew: I don't think that Leslie Mann would have been an appropriate age for a mom in 17 again, though.

[49:18] Allison: Can you allow me to share my screen?

[49:20] Andrew: She was the mom.

[49:21] Allison: She was the mom.

[49:23] Andrew: Yep.

[49:24] Allison: I was right?

[49:25] Andrew: Yeah, you were.

[49:26] Allison: I've said in a prior episode that Leslie Mann is one of the most attractive women in the world.

[49:31] Andrew: Okay, so you see Leslie Mann.

[49:33] Allison: You see Leslie Mann.

[49:34] Andrew: That's also Dana Walden.

[49:36] Allison: Look at Dana Walden.

[49:38] Andrew: Okay.

[49:39] Allison: Yep.

[49:40] Andrew: Yep.

[49:41] Allison: See, I was gonna say when you said you know, you're not gonna believe me, but when you were like, she looks like an actress, I was gonna say Leslie Mann, but I was like, I don't know if Alison's gonna know who Leslie Mann is.

[49:51] Andrew: But then you took the route of being like the mom from 17 again, which is Leslie Mann.

[49:51] Allison: Leslie Mann.

[49:58] Andrew: We're on the same wavelength, you and me.

[50:01] Allison: Right.

[50:01] Andrew: We should start a podcast.

[50:02] Allison: I think that would be actually really good idea.

[50:05] Andrew: And so we it's a big robber flashback episode.

[50:11] Allison: We get his really dramatic backstory.

[50:16] Andrew: Like, uh, hi, I'm the I'm the casting director for Glee Project.

[50:22] Allison: Um one guy, I don't really know his name.

[50:25] Andrew: I didn't clock it, but he says it's unique because it's not a dancing competition, it's not a singing competition, it's not an acting competition.

[50:33] Allison: It's how do you inspire?

[50:36] Andrew: Can you be Glee?

[50:38] Allison: And I'm like, okay, so I don't like that.

[50:41] Andrew: So they knew from the very beginning that they're real actual parameters of this show.

[50:48] Allison: So there's no actual rules.

[50:49] Andrew: Because I'm I'm going back to Nikki Blonsky.

[50:53] Allison: What's her name?

[50:54] Andrew: Nikki Reed.

[50:55] Allison: Nikki Anders.

[50:56] Andrew: And Nikki Anders.

[50:58] Allison: Also Nikki Blonsky.

[50:59] Andrew: Never saw them in the same room.

[51:01] Allison: Exactly.

[51:01] Andrew: Or Nikki Reed.

[51:03] Allison: Um.

[51:04] Andrew: But Nikki Anders saying to Damian McGuinty, um, you're not the best singer, you're not the best dancer, you're not the best actor.

[51:12] Allison: And it's like, okay, I guess he wins.

[51:14] Andrew: Because this is not a dancing or a singing or an actor.

[51:17] Allison: Right, right, right.

[51:17] Andrew: Exactly, exactly, exactly.

[51:19] Allison: Do you remember?

[51:20] Andrew: Um, I feel like this was like this was like a minute on the internet, maybe a year or two ago, when people found out, like they saw a Lizzo post where Lizo is like, hey, I just sent him my audition for the Glee project.

[51:34] Allison: Like, I really hope that I'm gonna win.

[51:37] Andrew: No.

[51:38] Allison: Yeah.

[51:39] Andrew: In the carousel.

[51:40] Allison: I'll put it in the carousel.

[51:41] Andrew: Put it in the carousel.

[51:42] Allison: But I have so many like screaming moments from watching the.

[51:49] Andrew: So we start with the video auditions.

[51:53] Allison: And um there's one of a girl going like, look at me now, Justin, I'm on TV.

[52:01] Andrew: I was like, Yeah.

[52:03] Allison: That's in the carousel.

[52:05] Andrew: I was like, Oh, are you doing a bit?

[52:07] Allison: Is this a bit?

[52:09] Andrew: I dunno I didn't like it.

[52:10] Allison: I would be so uncomfortable if I was in that room.

[52:13] Andrew: Because I don't know if it's a bit or not.

[52:15] Allison: And then Where she was like talking about her baby daddy or something.

[52:18] Andrew: And I was just like, I don't it was very like, and then she had like Shane Dawson makeup on.

[52:24] Allison: I was like, Oh, okay, I I know what you're doing.

[52:26] Andrew: And then Robert was like, Oh, thank you next.

[52:29] Allison: Yeah, thank you next, babe.

[52:31] Andrew: Uh, they watch Bryce's video, and Robert says, He's the favorite guy I've seen yet.

[52:37] Allison: Wow.

[52:37] Andrew: What I note about Bryce was like, honestly, he did he impressed me so much more than he ever did within Gleep, like the you know, episode one going on.

[52:49] Allison: I don't know, he was like he was a good singer, at least when he's singing songs that I guess he could choose for himself.

[52:56] Andrew: Yes, he sounded good in his audition.

[52:58] Allison: I don't think he sounded good when he was in front of Ryan.

[53:01] Andrew: Spoiler alert at the end of the episode.

[53:04] Allison: What did he sing at the end?

[53:06] Andrew: I think Hey Soul Sister.

[53:08] Allison: Oh, yeah, okay.

[53:10] Andrew: But then they they specifically show a guy who has like clipped together videos of him ripping paper.

[53:18] Allison: Yeah.

[53:19] Andrew: That's the guy from the Disney Medley.

[53:21] Allison: Did you notice that?

[53:22] Andrew: Do you know what the Disney Medley is?

[53:24] Allison: I I rem I remember thinking, like, okay, that's someone I've seen their face before.

[53:30] Andrew: Um, but let me look up this guy's name.

[53:34] Allison: Robert liked it.

[53:36] Andrew: He was like, oh, I don't even know if they're a good singer or not, but like I'm so blinded by the glitz and glam of you ripping paper.

[53:43] Allison: I know.

[53:44] Andrew: What is that guy's name?

[53:46] Allison: But there were like a few, I'm seeing it in the chat already that people are drawing attention to some other um Allie Stroker.

[53:55] Andrew: Allie Stroker Wee woo woo.

[53:58] Allison: Allie Stroker's soft launch um in episode zero of the Glee Project.

[54:03] Andrew: Um, as well as did you catch any others?

[54:05] Allison: Dominic Tracy?

[54:07] Andrew: Dominic Tracy.

[54:09] Allison: Um, which I have questions about because at that point, Dominic in season one of the redacted show Glee is an extra at McKinley.

[54:19] Andrew: And then up until like season two, episode like six, still at McKinley, and then shifts over to become Trent Warbler.

[54:28] Andrew: And so at that point, at the like this, he's auditioning during um season two of the redacted show Glee that he's sending in audition for the Glee Project.

[54:41] Allison: Which I'm like, what?

[54:44] Andrew: Uh according to the insider article, they were requesting video applications in 2010.

[54:52] Allison: So you think that this could have.

[54:54] Andrew: But at that point, he would have still been on Glee at that point.

[54:58] Allison: But as an extra.

[55:00] Andrew: As an extra, right. And I'm just like, I don't know. That would have been really fascinating to see someone come out of obscurity that we have receipts of them being, you know, yeah, part of the lore.

[55:16] Allison: Yeah, that'd be cool. But um, yeah, that made me sad that they were like, no, babe. Nothing. Stay in the background.

[55:24] Andrew: Well, no, Dominic Tracy. We're already gonna give you the part of Trent Warbler.

[55:30] Allison: We're gonna give you Trent Warbler, but I'm sure he wanted more than Trent Warbler.

[55:33] Andrew: Yeah, that makes sense. Um, but then also I feel like a few months ago, someone like watched this episode and then messaged us, and they were like, in combination with Ali Stroker and Dominic, there's also um like uh in season three, redacted conversation, redacted conversation, when Rachel and Tina go to visit Whoopi, who's doing auditions at another school to go ask her to like get into Niada, she's um auditioning another student that's singing I forget always true to me in your fashion or something.

[56:07] Allison: And one of them is like highlighted prominently in this episode. Like that guy that sings it, and so I'm like, oh, that's fascinating. I would love to like hear, like, okay. So did Robert like that guy so much because.

[56:23] Andrew: Did that guy take it on his own?

[56:26] Allison: Right. Because I was honestly like surprised that like Ellis, when like asking her, like, hey, how did you even like? I thought it would be like this big to do that Ellis was a featured extra in season four of Glee, but she was like, No, I just do extra work.

[56:42] Andrew: I was simply there.

[56:43] Allison: That's wild. Um, and then I think also I looked online that people clocked someone from Adam's Apples also.

[56:54] Andrew: Very cool. So there you go. Um, yeah. Okay. Well, it really brought me back the fact that they were using MySpace for these.

[57:04] Allison: Um I feel like MySpace must have already been on the way out.

[57:08] Andrew: Already on the way out for these in 2010.

[57:12] Allison: Like Facebook was on the rise before I left middle school. But I think maybe in their defense, was it was it like, oh, like MySpace is already like a solidified platform where did YouTube start? 2009?

[57:26] Andrew: I think like 2007. Like I think like early, but like for a place where like all the videos can be submitted onto one page.

[57:36] Allison: Yeah, fair. Like, I think that they were like, well, MySpace has that ability.

[57:41] Andrew: Yeah. Even though it's on the way out. I don't know.

[57:44] Allison: Yeah. Um. And then we go from video auditions to the open casting calls. Robert has it m they must have been in different places, like New York, Chicago, LA, probably.

[57:58] Andrew: Um I think this first one that we saw was Chicago, the one where it was snowing.

[58:02] Allison: Cold, yep. Yeah. Um I did some context clues. It was cold out. Chilly. And I was like, hmm. I know that to be Chicago. I've never been, but that's uh so I hear.

[58:13] Andrew: We should go.

[58:14] Allison: Genuinely. It's so fun.

[58:17] Andrew: I have an ex that lives in Chicago now.

[58:21] Allison: Well, Chicago's a big city.

[58:24] Andrew: So I hear. I hear it's cold and big and let's go for a Lollapalooza or something next summer.

[58:31] Allison: Lollapalooza. Would you like a music festival? Does that sound like something you would?

[58:36] Andrew: Maybe maybe once. Do you like Deep Dish?

[58:39] Allison: I love Deep Dish. Lumal Nadi's. Uno's.

[58:45] Andrew: Oh, yum. Show you all my options.

[58:49] Allison: Context clues, they said Chicago multiple times. And then one of the ladies even said Illinois in case we were confused as to which Chicago.

[59:02] Andrew: Chicago.

[59:04] Allison: Chicago.

[59:05] Andrew: It's a city that's inviting. It's a city that's exciting. Um, and also I feel like I don't know, I felt conflicted about it, but I was like, do you think that this 45 episode, this like hour of content that they were premiering on oxygen did not have any like star power behind it? There was like no um like, you know, mentor that was walking in.

[59:29] Allison: So do you think that they were like please, Darren? Please, Darren. Show up.

[59:32] Andrew: And I could say he had friends in Chicago. So I'm sure that's why he wanted to go to Chicago.

[59:39] Allison: See. Star Kidding. This is why you're so useful. You I don't I don't know this lore.

[59:45] Andrew: Yeah, this Darren Chris lore. His friends at the time. Star Kid had moved from Ann Arbor, Michigan to City of Chicago. Now most of them live in live in LA.

[59:55] Allison: We're anti-LA on this podcast.

[59:57] Andrew: I never said that.

[59:58] Allison: I didn't. Maybe you are.

[1:00:00] Andrew: Um, I love LA.

[1:00:02] Allison: I hate LA.

[1:00:04] Andrew: I don't like L.

[1:00:05] Allison: Yeah, I guess I don't like LA.

[1:00:07] Andrew: LA smelled like piss. I really didn't like it.

[1:00:10] Allison: Anyway, um. Uh so they're all damn, they're all auditioning damn down. And um Somebody cut off a finger to be there? I want that explained further.

[1:00:23] Andrew: Oh my god. They did not give any con Okay, so let's do a little acting exercise. Um Do you want to play the the girl with the finger? I'll play the girl without a finger.

[1:00:34] Allison: I'll play the girl. Uh-huh.

[1:00:37] Andrew: Hi.

[1:00:39] Allison: Hey, how are you?

[1:00:41] Andrew: Good. I I cut off a finger to be here.

[1:00:44] Allison: Oh my god. Well, what are you gonna be singing?

[1:00:47] Andrew: I'm gonna be singing hey soul sister. Like, literally, why was there no questions asked about like I I literally I don't have a finger and I'm here.

[1:01:00] Allison: Yeah. Like, I need I desperately need to know. Like, remember how like a few episodes ago they were like, how did Damien feel about being called a rock god? Like that was a question that didn't need to be answered. How did the girl lose her finger? I need to know.

[1:01:17] Andrew: Um my god. So then um I does she say or somebody else say, oh, but Glee's worth it. And Robert Ulrich is literally like, is it?

[1:01:31] Allison: I mean, it is. Going back in his face. I resonated so much with Robert in this episode because I was like, awkward king. He was like, he was fumbling. He was awkward king, but he also like had, I'm sure that that was cringe fest. I am sure that Glee Project auditions were cringe as fuck.

[1:01:53] Andrew: Yeah. And I do not envy anyone that is a casting director. I'm sure you watch so much cringe on the daily basis, and I hate it. Um I appreciated the girl that had the pitch pipe. I was like, okay.

[1:02:04] Allison: Anna Kendrick from Pitch Perfect.

[1:02:09] Andrew: Anna Camp from Pitch Perfect.

[1:02:11] Allison: Anna Kendrick and Anna Camp. They both blow the fucking whistle at one point and then fucking.

[1:02:17] Andrew: They both blow that whistle. That whistle is an equal opportunist.

[1:02:20] Allison: They're with whistleblowers.

[1:02:21] Andrew: For sure. Whistleblowers. Look up whistleblowers. You're gonna get a picture of Anna Kendall. Anna Camp and Anna Kendrick. Great whistleblowers.

[1:02:33] Allison: Um okay. Mateus comes in. I like that they're like really strategic about like showing the contestants that actually make it through.

[1:02:42] Andrew: Yeah. Because they're showing like a lot of like red herrings with like a lot of these people that come in and you're like, oh, I really hope that I really hope that the girl with without a finger makes in.

[1:02:53] Allison: But at the end of the episode, girl without a finger is like I don't know. Nowhere. And nowhere to be. And here I am being like over a decade later, I'm like, I need answers. I need answers.

[1:03:01] Andrew: I did appreciate the Mateus bit, but that man has never seen an episode of Glee in his life. I swear to God.

[1:03:07] Allison: He was like, Wait, why do you say Glee?

[1:03:10] Andrew: I love that show. I relate to it.

[1:03:16] Allison: Really? See, I need to, I need to rewatch that portion. Because all that stuck out to me from the Mateus portion was that he came in and you know that he's been sitting on this for a while. Where he comes in, first thing he says is Is there a height requirement?

[1:03:32] Andrew: Like, oh, and he had the whole group chat laughing.

[1:03:35] Allison: He really did. I'm on I'm dead. Skull emoji, skull emoji. I'm literally dead.

[1:03:40] Andrew: Yeah. Um. But what I did clock, little problematic. I clocked this.

[1:03:46] Allison: What?

[1:03:49] Andrew: There were moments when Robert was like, There was an African American girl. Or there was a girl. Like, sometimes describing the race and sometimes not, kind of making white the norm.

[1:04:06] Allison: I I that stood out to me as well. It could have just been editing, but I was like.

[1:04:14] Andrew: Hmm. Well, one thing, and maybe this is 2011, but also I also um was using the term African American un like until like a few years ago, until like someone really like pointed out to me that was like, oh, not all black people are like descendants from Africa. So when you say African American, you're actually being kind of stupid. So you just say it would be more appropriate to say this black girl, or like you're suggesting, this girl came in and saying just say it's a girl.

[1:04:48] Allison: This girl. Whether it's Ellis or it's anybody else, because Ellis was just this girl. And I loved Ellis coming in, being like, well, if I put on a hat, I'm I I'm 14. If I don't have a hat on, I'm five years old.

[1:05:05] Andrew: Uh she is so silly. I really love her. I miss her bad. Um but uh anything else do I have? They've established at this point that Samuel has auditioned already at this point, which I love the lore.

[1:05:19] Allison: I love that they're being honest about the Samuel lore, that they're not like, oh, I really love this new person that I've definitely never seen before. Because I thought that that would happen, that they wouldn't be honest. But um the fact that they were, and I feel like it was just they had their favorites from the very beginning.

[1:05:35] Andrew: Cameron! From day one, did Cameron get a free original song pass?

[1:05:40] Allison: Like everybody else had to sing. I mean a list. I made a list of the colours. I was hoping that you would make a list.

[1:05:47] Andrew: Okay. That they that they could choose from. And I only used uh initials, so I do have to do some guessing.

[1:05:55] Allison: But Cameron got to saying Love Can Wait.

[1:05:58] Andrew: Love Can Wait. I'm like, okay. Hmm.

[1:06:04] Allison: Weird. The songs were Don't Run in My Parade, uh River Deep Mountain High, Hit Me Baby One More Time, Hazel's Sister. What's H O M?

[1:06:19] Andrew: Hate on Me.

[1:06:20] Allison: Hate on Me. N-A, No Air.

[1:06:26] Andrew: T C Um T C.

[1:06:30] Allison: True Colors.

[1:06:31] Andrew: True Colors. Uh Sway.

[1:06:33] Allison: So good at this.

[1:06:34] Andrew: Sway, Valerie alone, Alone. And I am telling you, and then you can't always get what you want.

[1:06:41] Allison: Okay. Uh solid lists of songs. That is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve songs to choose from. And Cameron was like, none of them.

[1:06:55] Andrew: Actually, none.

[1:06:55] Allison: Actually, I want to sing my own.

[1:06:59] Andrew: None pizza left beef.

[1:07:01] Allison: What?

[1:07:02] Andrew: Oh, is that like the Domino's order?

[1:07:05] Allison: Yeah. And they just like sprinkle on the beef.

[1:07:11] Andrew: Oh. That's what Cameron said when ordering his pizza. That was so like tumbler core. It made me like hurt saying that.

[1:07:20] Allison: Um I want to look that up right now. Wait. But then also speaking of um, you can't always get what you want, Samuel.

[1:07:29] Andrew: He was like. He was singing it, and toward the end of the song, he was like, and if you try sometimes, you just might find.

[1:07:38] Allison: You get what you need.

[1:07:40] Andrew: God damn it, Samuel. I love him and I hate him at the same time.

[1:07:45] Allison: Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time. You wouldn't mean drink the poison from the same van. You know that song?

[1:07:52] Andrew: What what are you singing?

[1:07:55] Allison: I'm singing um Is that Hosier?

[1:08:02] Andrew: Boni Vare?

[1:08:04] Allison: Bony Vare.

[1:08:05] Andrew: No, I wish it was Boni Bear.

[1:08:06] Allison: Bony Bear, made famous by TikTok?

[1:08:09] Andrew: By Taylor Swift.

[1:08:10] Allison: Featured on Exile and Evermore.

[1:08:12] Andrew: Um, no, we know.

[1:08:14] Allison: I want us to be both honest right now.

[1:08:17] Andrew: We both knew who Boni Bear was before Taylor Swift.

[1:08:21] Allison: Skinny Love.

[1:08:22] Andrew: Skinny Love!

[1:08:23] Allison: You know Bonny Love Just Last the Year.

[1:08:25] Andrew: Come on, skinny love!

[1:08:27] Allison: Right.

[1:08:28] Andrew: And everybody at school was like, that's about an eating disorder.

[1:08:32] Allison: Oh, I that wow, you really unlocked something.

[1:08:35] Andrew: Yeah, that I'm going to do that.

[1:08:35] Allison: I remember people talking about it in my school.

[1:08:37] Andrew: In middle school.

[1:08:39] Allison: Was it?

[1:08:39] Andrew: And like Foster the People, Pumped Up Kicks, that's about a school show.

[1:08:42] Allison: Pumped Up Kicks.

[1:08:43] Andrew: I knew about that.

[1:08:44] Allison: But was Skinny Love really about an eating disorder?

[1:08:47] Andrew: I'm gonna make Google this, but I'm like pretty sure.

[1:08:51] Allison: Okay.

[1:08:52] Andrew: Love.

[1:08:53] Allison: Um, we're wrapping up the episode, right?

[1:08:56] Andrew: This was a crazy episode to recap, I think.

[1:08:59] Allison: But um, Cameron comes out I don't think it is.

[1:09:05] Andrew: It's not Bony Vera's Skinny Love is often misinterpreted as a song about an eating disorder, but according to Justin Vernon, the band's founder, I'm not gonna click that.

[1:09:05] Allison: I'm not gonna click it.

[1:09:16] Andrew: I don't care.

[1:09:17] Allison: It's yeah.

[1:09:19] Andrew: Like the Google said, you can tell those high school bitches.

[1:09:21] Allison: You can tell those high school bitches that they're wrong.

[1:09:24] Andrew: Um, wait.

[1:09:27] Allison: Oh.

[1:09:29] Andrew: We went from 40,000 people to 83 people.

[1:09:32] Allison: And we've got the dancing.

[1:09:35] Andrew: Are you do you want to just wrap this up? Do you not want to talk about it anymore? Are you done?

[1:09:38] Allison: I don't have many more notes.

[1:09:41] Andrew: I have a whole page more.

[1:09:43] Allison: I have a whole page more of notes.

[1:09:45] Andrew: You must have to do that.

[1:09:47] Allison: I can't prepare.

[1:09:48] Andrew: It's most typically, it's usually that like I have so many notes and like I'm struggling to be like, well, they said this.

[1:09:56] Allison: But no, go ahead. I want you to have here's your time. Go ahead.

[1:10:01] Andrew: So they all go into a room. They all go into a room and they're like, hey everybody, it's Brad Ellis and Nikki Anders and Zach Willett. And um, they're like, hey, you're gonna have a little booty camp.

[1:10:14] Allison: And uh, I'm like, oh my god, Hannah! And then I clocked that Samuel walked behind Robert Ulrich multiple times.

[1:10:23] Andrew: I'm sure.

[1:10:26] Allison: He was like, I gotta be in front of that camera.

[1:10:27] Andrew: I was born with this.

[1:10:30] Allison: You're gonna remember this face.

[1:10:32] Andrew: And then Zach Woodley when they're dancing, saying, you should feel stupid. I was like, I'm not gonna make you look dumbass.

[1:10:36] Allison: Make you look dumbass.

[1:10:40] Andrew: I was like, God, that's the two genders.

[1:10:40] Allison: The two genders.

[1:10:44] Andrew: I'm you should feel stupid, and I'm not gonna make you look dumbass.

[1:10:44] Allison: I'm not gonna make you look dumbass.

[1:10:50] Andrew: Incredible timing.

[1:10:51] Allison: Incredible.

[1:10:52] Andrew: Which one is girl coded and which one is boy coded?

[1:10:54] Allison: Uh, you should feel stupid is girl coded, and I'm not gonna make you look dumbass is boy coded.

[1:11:01] Andrew: Um, then Zach Woodley talking about the Push It choreography and is like, oh yeah, we had to change it because it was like we did it, and it was just like too much for television.

[1:11:14] Allison: Like, what? Were you whipping your dicks out?

[1:11:17] Andrew: Or like, I actually remember from the redacted show that it was actually pretty bad to begin with.

[1:11:24] Allison: So, like, what else were they doing?

[1:11:26] Andrew: What else could you have done? Like, were you just shaking your jugs or something?

[1:11:31] Allison: Like, actually, I want to do it.

[1:11:36] Andrew: There was twerking and there was motor boating. Like, what else is what dancing is not safe for television?

[1:11:43] Allison: Anything Matthew Morrison does is not safe for television.

[1:11:47] Andrew: The girls like bent over. They were standing up and they bent over to like touch the ground.

[1:11:53] Allison: And I'm like, how can it get worse?

[1:11:55] Andrew: Yeah, unless you're showing coot.

[1:11:58] Allison: I don't get it.

[1:12:00] Andrew: Cooter soft launch.

[1:12:04] Allison: Blinking, you'll miss it.

[1:12:06] Andrew: Cooter makes an appearance in season one, episode two of Glee.

[1:12:11] Allison: Oh god.

[1:12:14] Andrew: Okay. Well keep going. I like this.

[1:12:16] Allison: Okay. Um, I liked, I appreciated seeing Cameron and Alex hanging out.

[1:12:21] Andrew: Uh, that is not a pairing that I would have ever put together, even though they were two people on a TV show of 12.

[1:12:27] Allison: Right, right, right.

[1:12:28] Andrew: Um, and then I'm like, people who play guitar, this is just like a genuine question.

[1:12:36] Allison: Um, does it make you better auditioning to have a guitar with you?

[1:12:44] Andrew: Like, why does Cameron have a guitar? What is he hiding?

[1:12:46] Allison: There were other people that came in with a guitar because I remember like one guy came in with a guitar and Darren liked it.

[1:12:52] Andrew: Why?

[1:12:52] Allison: But I guess like you could. Why not?

[1:12:54] Andrew: Because I guess would the alternative for all the other singing or an acting show. What is it? A guitar playing show?

[1:13:02] Allison: There was the one girl that sent in the video of her playing saxophone to hate on me.

[1:13:06] Andrew: I know.

[1:13:07] Allison: And I'm like, I guess you're showing that you can do things because we all know we've seen season one, episode nine, where they're all forced to learn an instrument.

[1:13:18] Andrew: So they're already ahead of the game.

[1:13:20] Allison: Never going back again when they're all playing the guitars.

[1:13:27] Andrew: Um, I would have auditioned for the Glee Project just to get into that goddamn Paramount Theater and be on the stage where they sang Don't Stop Believing.

[1:13:37] Allison: Did Robert, wait, I remember him talking about like Mr. Schuester seeing them at like saying Don't Stop Believing. Did he establish that that was the stage that they sang the damn Journey song on?

[1:13:52] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[1:13:53] Allison: In the uh Glee Project episode that we just watched. They were like the actual stage that the Glee cast has performed on.

[1:14:00] Andrew: The Digley Club.

[1:14:02] Allison: Um, the Gli Club.

[1:14:04] Andrew: Wait.

[1:14:05] Allison: I don't want to burst your bubble, but like you would need to make it really far for that to happen because that was pretty long in the process.

[1:14:11] Andrew: Okay, I'm gonna flash.

[1:14:18] Allison: I'm bringing Cooter with me.

[1:14:24] Andrew: Um, god, this is public. How did you feel about Cameron? How did you feel about Cameron um saying like there were the judges were like the judges, the the people that we are well aware of? Nikki, um Zach, and Robert, that they were like, I'm sure that girls are all over you, Cameron.

[1:14:44] Allison: And he was like, yeah, you would think so, looking at me.

[1:14:47] Andrew: I'm like, shut up.

[1:14:48] Allison: What did you think of that?

[1:14:49] Andrew: He's a hipster, nobody understands him. He's different, he doesn't like the things that are popular.

[1:14:54] Allison: I was like, honey, I'm just building the this is me building the carousel.

[1:14:59] Andrew: There's a big storm coming.

[1:15:01] Allison: You've got a big storm coming.

[1:15:03] Andrew: He really does.

[1:15:04] Allison: He has no idea.

[1:15:06] Andrew: Oh my god. And I appreciated Zach saying Lindsay has the voice people want to pay to hear, and I'm like, well, I paid to hear her voice.

[1:15:14] Allison: I did.

[1:15:15] Andrew: I did.

[1:15:16] Allison: On more than one occasion.

[1:15:17] Andrew: I've seen the damn Wicked production and Titanic.

[1:15:20] Allison: Exactly.

[1:15:21] Andrew: Exactly.

[1:15:22] Allison: And I'm gonna go again.

[1:15:23] Andrew: Yeah, you are.

[1:15:24] Allison: You are.

[1:15:25] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:15:26] Allison: Um, you're right, Zach.

[1:15:28] Andrew: You're right, Zach.

[1:15:28] Allison: I did pay to hear her.

[1:15:30] Andrew: Um.

[1:15:31] Allison: And Emily saying I would walk around in underwear to do it, as in walk around in her underwear to do her audition if it made her get on the show.

[1:15:42] Andrew: Help.

[1:15:43] Allison: I was like, oh.

[1:15:46] Andrew: Let's work through that.

[1:15:48] Allison: Um then I was still like, how the fuck did Bryce make it on this show?

[1:15:54] Andrew: Because I'm seeing all the other singers, and I'm like, what the hell? For why?

[1:16:01] Allison: I was confused.

[1:16:04] Andrew: I feel like I've already like kind of like made this point within this episode, but I think that they all had their favorites, as Zach says later in the episode, where he's like, we all have our favorites.

[1:16:04] Allison: But I think that some of them, I'm thinking Cameron. I'm thinking Damien, I'm thinking Samuel.

[1:16:21] Andrew: Anyone else from that?

[1:16:24] Allison: That they were like, it doesn't matter what you do. There's nothing you can say, there's nothing you can do.

[1:16:32] Andrew: That won't like that will prohibit you from becoming, you know, the top 12.

[1:16:37] Allison: That's the feeling I got. And maybe Bryce was in there as well somehow.

[1:16:45] Andrew: I don't know. The last note that I have is that for everybody, audio medium, Cameron Mitchell has the exact same webcam setup in this episode of the Glee Project as he did when we interviewed him.

[1:16:57] Allison: And I love a consistent king.

[1:16:59] Andrew: Wait, when we interview? The camera was like up.

[1:17:02] Allison: Oh, you're talking about where the camera was positioned.

[1:17:05] Andrew: And then there's pianos, and there's piano stuff.

[1:17:07] Allison: I loved. When I think back about like who which of our guests had my favorite setup behind them?

[1:17:15] Andrew: Because I do be looking.

[1:17:17] Allison: Um, Cameron's was probably my I loved his little suit.

[1:17:21] Andrew: And I love that Cameron came to the recording, our recording with um, like he was like a little bit buzzed.

[1:17:28] Allison: He was like, I drank a little bit before.

[1:17:30] Andrew: He was like, I had a little red wine.

[1:17:32] Allison: I started drinking. And I was like, I love you.

[1:17:35] Andrew: I love you so fucking much.

[1:17:38] Allison: Uh, inhibitions to be low.

[1:17:40] Andrew: Um, but uh, okay, let me just wrap up my list.

[1:17:45] Allison: Um, you're done with yours.

[1:17:46] Andrew: Okay.

[1:17:48] Allison: Oh, I'm done.

[1:17:48] Andrew: You're done now?

[1:17:49] Allison: Okay.

[1:17:50] Andrew: I'm done now.

[1:17:52] Allison: Um, let's see.

[1:17:53] Andrew: Oh.

[1:17:54] Allison: I'm I also want to apologize for the quality of um this episode.

[1:17:59] Andrew: I don't know if filmed in a toaster.

[1:18:04] Allison: It was like it came back up.

[1:18:06] Andrew: Spanish subtitles.

[1:18:07] Allison: The timer was done.

[1:18:09] Andrew: It came back up out of the toaster, and they were like, nope, go back down.

[1:18:12] Allison: I want you to go.

[1:18:13] Andrew: Go back down.

[1:18:15] Allison: Deep fried.

[1:18:16] Andrew: Deep fried episode of the Glee Project.

[1:18:18] Allison: Because I we discovered last week that I've been watching the episodes that I've been posting to the Patreon, which are higher quality.

[1:18:26] Andrew: You have been watching the ones that have been in the Lincoln bio, but I couldn't find a better quality version of this episode.

[1:18:33] Allison: Have these episodes always like been the same quality as this one?

[1:18:37] Andrew: No, not necessarily.

[1:18:39] Allison: They've been a little bit higher def.

[1:18:41] Andrew: A little bit a couple more pixels have shown up.

[1:18:43] Allison: Okay. This was like impressively bad.

[1:18:47] Andrew: Yeah, impressively bad, yeah.

[1:18:49] Allison: Um, one of the things that I clocked was that um the Notebook was playing later in the week on Oxygen.

[1:18:58] Andrew: And I'm like, classic.

[1:18:59] Allison: Why they keep playing that fucking movie.

[1:19:01] Andrew: Notebook is keeping Oxygen alive.

[1:19:05] Allison: I know. What the fuck? Did that recently come out?

[1:19:09] Andrew: Or like just get on television.

[1:19:11] Allison: Maybe they were like, oh, they're making television premiere.

[1:19:14] Andrew: I don't know.

[1:19:15] Allison: Um, yeah, and then my last note, not going out with a bang by any means. This is not a fun last note.

[1:19:21] Andrew: I don't know, maybe it is, but Marissa hate on me soft launch in this episode.

[1:19:27] Allison: You know, she we we get to see how she grows with that song.

[1:19:32] Andrew: So it's very good.

[1:19:34] Allison: Oh gosh.

[1:19:35] Andrew: And that's episode zero.

[1:19:38] Allison: I know. I forgot we were doing the Glackett project, to be honest with you.

[1:19:42] Andrew: I know. We're now an hour into.

[1:19:44] Allison: Um, okay, so how do we want to set up?

[1:19:47] Andrew: We're going into Glack Glackett Project All Stars, really.

[1:19:51] Allison: Um, these are all um performances that have, you know, rose to the top of their um respective episodes.

[1:20:00] Andrew: And so I have the God, I already forget. I have the odd episodes.

[1:20:06] Allison: Yep.

[1:20:07] Andrew: Um, and I have ranked them um in order of like my favorites, and they will be against like my number five will be against your number five, my number four, and so on.

[1:20:20] Allison: Um, does that make sense to everybody? I hope so.

[1:20:22] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:20:24] Allison: Um, let's start with five.

[1:20:27] Andrew: Let's start with a five.

[1:20:28] Allison: My five.

[1:20:29] Andrew: Start with five.

[1:20:31] Allison: Oh my gosh. I don't know why I'm nervous again.

[1:20:34] Andrew: So my five is here.

[1:20:38] Allison: If I was a sculpted.

[1:20:41] Andrew: This is your five.

[1:20:42] Allison: I hate no man who makes potions in the travel and show.

[1:20:54] Andrew: I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do. My gift is my song and this one's for you.

[1:21:16] Allison: See, you that song is a gift, baby. You might hate me for putting that at my five, but honestly, I want you to know that that was a gift, actually. For you, because I thought whatever it's against, your number five, your least favorite of your choice, it's likely going to win.

[1:21:37] Andrew: I also have two, I think I have the two Cameron solos of the You do of the pack, so okay, I'm ready.

[1:22:04] Allison: I want you to see.

[1:22:10] Allison: I want to love love.

[1:22:14] Allison: I want to love.

[1:22:18] Allison: I want your drama of a touch of the head.

[1:22:23] Allison: I want your love and start a sad and kiss it in the face.

[1:22:26] Allison: I want your love love.

[1:22:32] Allison: Oh, oh god, make it in.

[1:22:35] Allison: You know that I want you.

[1:22:36] Allison: Oh, baby.

[1:22:37] Allison: And you know that a name is you.

[1:22:39] Allison: How long did you bad romance?

[1:22:43] Allison: Like draft.

[1:22:46] Allison: You and me could write a bad romance.

[1:22:54] Allison: You and me could write a band romance.

[1:23:03] Allison: Cut in a bedroom man.

[1:23:06] Allison: Oh caught in a bedroom man.

[1:23:25] Andrew: Why do they all sound so good?

[1:23:27] Andrew: That has to be Studio.

[1:23:31] Andrew: Recorded.

[1:23:32] Allison: Yeah.

[1:23:32] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:23:34] Andrew: Um, I like that a lot more than I remember, honestly.

[1:23:38] Allison: Fuck.

[1:23:39] Andrew: I did too.

[1:23:39] Allison: Um Adina un unfortunately is very uncomfortable watching this performance, which I think I would be if I was in the room, but watching it, stupid viewer at home, you know.

[1:23:49] Andrew: I'm enjoying it.

[1:23:51] Andrew: It's fun.

[1:23:52] Allison: Fun.

[1:23:53] Allison: Fuck.

[1:23:54] Andrew: Okay.

[1:23:55] Andrew: Well, bad romance versus your song.

[1:23:57] Allison: Fuck.

[1:23:59] Andrew: I'm doing bad.

[1:24:01] Andrew: I'm doing bad romance.

[1:24:03] Andrew: Is that criminal?

[1:24:04] Allison: That is bad.

[1:24:05] Andrew: That's bad.

[1:24:06] Andrew: On you.

[1:24:07] Andrew: I'm gonna add it to our spinner as we're like discussing.

[1:24:10] Allison: Great.

[1:24:11] Andrew: Okay.

[1:24:11] Andrew: Um, so we're moving on.

[1:24:14] Andrew: Okay, you're number five.

[1:24:15] Andrew: Bad romance has made it through to the next round.

[1:24:18] Andrew: We're doing it all in one episode.

[1:24:19] Andrew: We're trying to we're we're zooming through this.

[1:24:22] Allison: Um, for this is how we should have done round one of the bucket, just one episode.

[1:24:22] Andrew: One episode.

[1:24:28] Andrew: Uh, okay.

[1:24:29] Andrew: For 666 songs.

[1:24:30] Andrew: Let's see.

[1:24:31] Andrew: Okay, here we go.

[1:24:37] Allison: Whether I'm right, or whether I'm wrong.

[1:24:41] Allison: Whether I find someone in this world or never belong.

[1:24:46] Allison: I've gotta be me.

[1:24:49] Allison: I've gotta be me.

[1:24:51] Allison: Daring to try, do it or die.

[1:24:54] Allison: I'm gonna be me.

[1:24:58] Allison: I'm gone.

[1:25:00] Allison: That's how it must be.

[1:25:02] Allison: If I can't be right for somebody else, then I can be right for me.

[1:25:07] Allison: I've gotta be free.

[1:25:10] Allison: I've gotta be free.

[1:25:12] Allison: Learning to try to do it or die.

[1:25:18] Allison: I've gotta be me.

[1:25:29] Andrew: It's just so endearing.

[1:25:31] Andrew: I really struggled to do a top five of these songs.

[1:25:36] Andrew: I love this so much.

[1:25:37] Allison: Really?

[1:25:38] Allison: Um my number four is actually also a Damien solo.

[1:25:42] Allison: A day Molo.

[1:25:44] Andrew: A day Molo versus Day Molo.

[1:25:46] Allison: Okay.

[1:25:51] Andrew: Hannah, that was so cute.

[1:25:53] Allison: Somewhere beyond the sea.

[1:25:59] Allison: Somewhere waiting for me.

[1:26:03] Allison: My lot of stands on golden sands and watches the ships that go sail.

[1:26:14] Allison: It's far beyond the stars.

[1:26:19] Allison: It's near beyond the moon.

[1:26:24] Allison: I know beyond the doubt.

[1:26:30] Allison: My heart will lead me there, lead me there, leave me there, so we'll meet.

[1:26:36] Allison: I know we'll meet beyond the shore.

[1:26:40] Allison: We'll kiss just as before.

[1:26:44] Allison: Happy will be beyond the sea.

[1:26:49] Allison: And never again.

[1:26:51] Allison: I'll go to the sail.

[1:26:56] Allison: No more sailing.

[1:27:00] Allison: Song sailing bye bye, sailing.

[1:27:00] Allison: Sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing.

[1:27:19] Andrew: Captain.

[1:27:21] Andrew: What is he saying at the end?

[1:27:24] Allison: Run over captain.

[1:27:26] Allison: Move over captain.

[1:27:30] Allison: Move over, Captain.

[1:27:33] Allison: Lit they had subtitles this entire season.

[1:27:36] Andrew: They're not going to be able to do that.

[1:27:36] Allison: This is where they need.

[1:27:38] Allison: Yeah.

[1:27:38] Andrew: This is where they're necessary.

[1:27:40] Allison: I'm a little bit torn on this competition.

[1:27:44] Allison: There are aspects of Beyond the Sea that I really like.

[1:27:46] Allison: I like the audience aspect.

[1:27:48] Allison: I think that they add a lot to the performance.

[1:27:50] Allison: You know, and then like she sings a lyric about kissing and it cuts to Hannah, and she's like, ooh, you know.

[1:27:56] Andrew: Oh, yeah.

[1:27:57] Allison: Um, my poor little heart.

[1:28:00] Allison: I think it dragged a little bit as it went on.

[1:28:03] Andrew: Yes.

[1:28:04] Allison: I am a because everybody in the chat, uh, because I agree with everybody in the chat that um I've gotta be me does remind me of Cory.

[1:28:13] Allison: I think it's a very good rendition of the song, and that's where my vote's gonna go.

[1:28:18] Andrew: I've gotta be me.

[1:28:20] Allison: I think I've gotta be me too.

[1:28:22] Allison: I've gotta be me.

[1:28:24] Andrew: Come on, guys.

[1:28:25] Andrew: Yeah, I feel bad, even though Beyond the Sea is what you know got him that damn win.

[1:28:30] Allison: But yeah, it's almost like Gimme Gimme should have won.

[1:28:34] Andrew: Who said that?

[1:28:35] Allison: Um, my third pick is another Camolo.

[1:28:42] Andrew: Oh boy.

[1:28:48] Allison: Blackbird singing in the dead of night.

[1:28:52] Allison: And take these broken wings and learn to fly.

[1:28:57] Andrew: And know you're what are you doing?

[1:29:01] Andrew: You're drawing on it.

[1:29:02] Allison: Oh, you're drawing hard.

[1:29:15] Andrew: Take the sunken eyes, learn to see and know your love.

[1:29:24] Andrew: You're only waiting for the moments to be free.

[1:29:29] Allison: Black bird flight.

[1:29:55] Andrew: Oh, you're lying.

[1:29:59] Andrew: You're only waiting for the moment to arrive.

[1:30:09] Allison: He's pointing his feet toward each other during these do be doing that.

[1:30:15] Andrew: Okay, he's a hipster.

[1:30:16] Allison: Leave him alone.

[1:30:18] Andrew: Okay.

[1:30:19] Andrew: I'm not like the normal people where they just have their their feet out in front of them.

[1:30:24] Allison: Yeah, I'm a little I'm a little awkward.

[1:30:27] Andrew: Um I loved that.

[1:30:30] Andrew: Um, and I wanted everybody to witness what I see when I look at Cameron Mitchell, and it's hearts.

[1:30:37] Allison: So audio medium Allison was drawing hearts on Zoom around this performance.

[1:30:44] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:30:45] Andrew: That's that's how I felt.

[1:30:46] Allison: Okay, Blackbird versus my number three.

[1:30:55] Andrew: We're gonna disagree.

[1:30:58] Andrew: I got served a little bit too much of that poison, baby last night.

[1:31:05] Andrew: I did things I'm not proud of.

[1:31:08] Andrew: And I got a little crazy ass night.

[1:31:10] Andrew: I met a cat on the dance bow.

[1:31:14] Andrew: And I let him call me baby.

[1:31:18] Andrew: And I don't even know his last name.

[1:31:24] Allison: Oh my god, please go shame.

[1:31:34] Andrew: Oh no, what have I done?

[1:31:36] Andrew: And I don't even know his last name.

[1:31:45] Andrew: Today I woke up thinking about Elvis somewhere in Vegas.

[1:31:51] Andrew: I'm not sure how I got here, or how this ring on my left hand just appeared out of nowhere.

[1:31:59] Andrew: I gotta go.

[1:32:00] Andrew: I grab the chips and I pinto I hit the roll.

[1:32:03] Andrew: That's how it happens here.

[1:32:04] Andrew: Stays here.

[1:32:05] Andrew: All of this will be there's just one little problem.

[1:32:11] Andrew: I don't even know our last name.

[1:32:39] Allison: Okay, let's see.

[1:32:41] Allison: That's a complete slay.

[1:32:43] Allison: Slay that really is so fucking good.

[1:32:47] Andrew: Are you gonna turn your back on another Kimolo?

[1:32:50] Allison: I know.

[1:32:51] Allison: I just gotta say that McKinley was given the note after she did Peace of My Heart that she needed to bring more of her personality to the performance.

[1:33:03] Allison: And she did this performance, and it's really like a character study in I guess acting generally.

[1:33:12] Allison: She she bodied this woman that doesn't even know her own last name.

[1:35:10] Allison: Don't you want me?

[1:35:11] Allison: You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me much to late to find.

[1:35:46] Andrew: There was something a little lacking in the um in the music video though.

[1:35:51] Allison: Right?

[1:35:52] Andrew: In the eyes.

[1:35:53] Allison: It was in the eyes.

[1:35:54] Andrew: I think that they spent a little bit too much time behind those eyes.

[1:35:56] Allison: Next uh like near the mirror.

[1:35:58] Andrew: I was like, let's yes.

[1:36:00] Allison: Can we leave?

[1:36:07] Andrew: I get it now.

[1:36:08] Allison: Okay.

[1:36:10] Andrew: Dookie.

[1:36:11] Allison: I was like, why are you calling this song Dookie before you even know what it is?

[1:36:17] Andrew: Uh it's this classic mashup.

[1:36:22] Allison: Ice ice face.

[1:36:23] Andrew: Dum dum dum did it.

[1:36:35] Allison: Let's keep pressure.

[1:36:37] Andrew: Pushing down on me.

[1:36:39] Allison: Pressing down on you, no matter school.

[1:36:43] Andrew: Under pressure that burns the building down.

[1:36:49] Allison: Let's equal on street.

[1:36:56] Andrew: Watch it so good for screaming.

[1:36:58] Allison: Hear me out.

[1:37:20] Allison: Got to hold a meat tightly flow like a hock with daily.

[1:37:37] Andrew: When I play adult melody, anything less than the best is a felony.

[1:37:40] Allison: Love it or leave it.

[1:37:41] Andrew: You better gain weight.

[1:37:42] Allison: You better hit the fools like the kids don't play.

[1:38:44] Allison: Oh my god.

[1:38:45] Andrew: I have so many positive things to say about this entire song.

[1:38:49] Allison: I just think it's so inspired.

[1:38:52] Andrew: Obviously, the mashup is there.

[1:38:54] Allison: It's borrowing the instrumental.

[1:38:56] Andrew: But the way I don't know if they borrowed this arrangement from somewhere else, and they were like, oh, let's do it, and like not credit them, which I feel is very likely the case.

[1:39:05] Allison: But I am obsessed with it, honestly.

[1:39:09] Andrew: So good.

[1:39:10] Allison: My favorite part is Lindsay opening the door in the stairwell, and all like as she opens the door, she GET ME OUT!

[1:39:19] Andrew: I just like something about that really scratches my brain.

[1:39:23] Allison: Her going down the steps, singing with Damien, Marissa at the water fountain, the water fountain spraying slushy into her face.

[1:39:31] Andrew: This song truly has everything, and I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but like this is my number one song from this season.
