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

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

[0:17] Andrew: We got Andrew and Alison, show of the Gleek of the Week, who's the head on show.

[0:26] Alison: Glacket by Glacket.

[0:28] Andrew: We'll rank everyone.

[0:31] Alison: Closer to spot number one.

[0:35] Andrew: Gleek of the Week.

[0:37] Alison: Gleek, Gleek, Gleek of the Week.

[0:44] Andrew: Individuality was the theme for the first week.

[0:49] Alison: This week is theatrical.

[0:53] Andrew: Theatre.

[0:55] Alison: Oh, I was like looking at your note.

[0:57] Andrew: Okay.

[0:58] Alison: And that makes so much more.

[1:00] Andrew: I promise you.

[1:01] Alison: I literally just watched the episode the second time.

[1:03] Andrew: I'm big dumbass behavior right now.

[1:05] Alison: Wait, Becca, are you for sure?

[1:07] Andrew: Are you for are you dead ass?

[1:09] Alison: All no cap, all facts, no printer.

[1:11] Andrew: The Jonas Brothers set list is 67 songs.

[1:14] Alison: Is that true?

[1:14] Andrew: Two away from the famous number.

[1:18] Alison: 69.

[1:19] Andrew: 65. That is cuckoo.

[1:21] Alison: I'm gonna be at that concert for years.

[1:23] Andrew: Oh yeah.

[1:23] Alison: I saw that people are like kind of upset with the Jonas Brothers for kind of like taking Taylor's idea.

[1:32] Andrew: Shut up!

[1:32] Alison: Taylor sends Joe Jonas gifts.

[1:35] Andrew: Now they send my baby's presents.

[1:38] Alison: Presents, exactly.

[1:40] Andrew: Theatricality.

[1:44] Alison: Andrew, what does theatricality mean to you?

[1:46] Andrew: Theatricality means something. Uh, well when I think of the word theatricality, I obviously think of the redacted series that was on Fox that I will not mention, but there was an episode titled that famous word. And what does theatricality mean to me? I feel like in a broad sense, the obvious answer is like, okay, being like glitz glam, like everything is large, um, just like over the top. But I guess you can be theatrical, and I think that we found this out in this episode that you can, there is a humble presence to being theatrical as well. That you could be theatrical in a more somber way.

[2:33] Alison: Not somber, but you know, you know what I'm saying.

[2:36] Andrew: Right. Um, I feel like these episodes, like, do they take the theme seriously or not? Like I feel like they choose when to take the theme very seriously and when not to. They're just like, it's a vibe. It's like, okay, we really care about theatricality right now. But you know what, in 10 minutes, I'm not gonna give a fuck. I'm not gonna, I'm not even gonna, if I pass theatricality on the street, I wouldn't even say a thing.

[3:00] Alison: Exactly.

[3:01] Andrew: Um, but yeah, um, okay, this might be like a little spoiler, but like, okay, in terms of like the theme, theatricality and with who went home this week, I feel like the person that was being pretty damn theatrical went home.

[3:19] Alison: Right.

[3:19] Andrew: Um, spoiler, spoiler.

[3:22] Alison: Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler of a series that aired 12 years ago.

[3:27] Andrew: Um, Ellis went home this week.

[3:31] Alison: I know.

[3:32] Andrew: Crazy. I did not think so.

[3:35] Alison: I thought it was gonna be McKinley.

[3:36] Andrew: I genuinely was like, I couldn't remember. I was like, this has gotta be McKinley's week. But then, um, but then I was like, no, no, no.

[3:46] Alison: McKinley's got one more bottom three song.

[3:49] Andrew: She's gonna sing another country song.

[3:50] Alison: Right.

[3:51] Andrew: This is not her week.

[3:52] Alison: This is not her time.

[3:54] Andrew: It's not her time yet.

[3:55] Alison: No.

[3:56] Andrew: I know it's not Mateus.

[3:57] Alison: I know it's not Mateus, so I was like, damn, it's gonna be Ellis.

[4:01] Andrew: Um, theatricality to me just means like feeling feelings hard.

[4:09] Alison: I love that.

[4:10] Andrew: And acting and acting on those feelings hard.

[4:13] Alison: Hard.

[4:14] Andrew: Like if I am sad, I'm not sitting here just looking at things. I am weeping, sobbing, throwing up, throwing things, screaming into my pillow, like doing like that sort of thing.

[4:28] Alison: Um, that's theatrical to me.

[4:31] Andrew: And you're doing it for an audience at the same time.

[4:32] Alison: Even if there's not an audience, you're doing it for a while.

[4:35] Andrew: I think that that's like the main takeaway from theatricality for me is that you're not just doing it for yourself, you're doing it for an audience.

[4:44] Alison: Even if it's whether or not there is one.

[4:46] Andrew: Um, if it's just Queen Nikki dominant in the studio.

[4:50] Alison: Exactly.

[4:50] Andrew: And her assistant, her mute assistant.

[4:55] Alison: Never say a word.

[4:57] Andrew: Um, this week, the homework assignment was "Bad Romance."

[5:02] Alison: Can I just say the episode starts?

[5:05] Andrew: They all come out of the hallway into like the faux choir room room.

[5:11] Alison: Um, and they see McKinley's the first to spot it.

[5:15] Andrew: Uh that the this song, the homework assignment is gonna be "Bad Romance."

[5:15] Alison: "Bad Romance."

[5:20] Andrew: It's as if she was just getting like proposed to.

[5:24] Alison: They literally romance, guys!

[5:30] Andrew: No fucking way!

[5:31] Alison: Literally my headcanon is that Robert Ulrich, he gave all of these children, teenagers, uh, young adults, um, three cans of the heavy Red Bulls, put them into um solitary confinement for the evening, and then um let them all out, and that's the beginning of each episode.

[5:56] Andrew: Because literally, like Mateus is doing bouncing off the fucking wall.

[5:59] Alison: Mateus is doing a cartwheel.

[6:01] Andrew: Lindsay starts jumping, and I'm just like, this, where do they get all of this goddamn energy from?

[6:09] Alison: Well, that's the thing is that they're so young.

[6:12] Andrew: Yeah.

[6:12] Alison: That's where they get this fucking energy.

[6:14] Andrew: That is the biggest takeaway for me from this episode is that how fucking young they are.

[6:20] Alison: Like Alex Newell is a small baby cherub.

[6:23] Andrew: Yeah, like genuinely Alex talks a lot at the beginning of the episode about "Bad Romance," and I'm just like, oh my god, this person is so, so, so young.

[6:34] Alison: Yeah, and insane.

[6:36] Andrew: Entirely young.

[6:37] Alison: Um, wait, I was gonna say something.

[6:40] Andrew: What was I gonna say?

[6:41] Alison: Oh, Lindsay starts doing, I don't know if you caught this.

[6:43] Andrew: Lindsay starts doing the music video choreography.

[6:47] Alison: Like really, it's like the, you know that I want you, and you know that I need you.

[6:56] Andrew: And I'm like, she would, she would.

[6:59] Alison: I love, um, God, I love Lindsay Pierce.

[7:02] Andrew: But uh what else?

[7:04] Alison: And then also, um, there's a talking head of Emily going, I know phony.

[7:10] Andrew: She's being phony, and I know phony.

[7:13] Alison: And I'm like, I need this girl to narrate everything.

[7:19] Andrew: I need her to be the narrator in Into the Woods.

[7:21] Alison: I need her to be the narrator of my life.

[7:23] Andrew: Um, I know Agony.

[7:26] Alison: And I know, and believe me, I know Agony.

[7:26] Andrew: Believe me, I know Agony.

[7:32] Alison: Um, they get into like dancing around and practicing for this homework assignment, and they don't like move any furniture around.

[7:43] Andrew: No.

[7:44] Alison: They just start dancing and grooving and figuring out what they're gonna do.

[7:48] Andrew: And I really wanna be, they show us clips, but I want to be a fly on the wall in there.

[7:48] Alison: Yes.

[7:48] Andrew: Yeah.

[7:48] Alison: I want to be the headband that Lindsay Pierce has braided into her hair.

[8:00] Andrew: Did anybody catch?

[8:01] Alison: I'm so glad that you brought up the headband.

[8:02] Andrew: Are you talking about the feathered, like metallic headband?

[8:05] Alison: Is that the one you're talking about?

[8:06] Andrew: No, I'm talking about the cloth one.

[8:08] Alison: It's like white.

[8:09] Andrew: Uh, and then she has a side braid that she wove the headband into.

[8:13] Alison: Because she wears like a metallic feathered headband later on in the episode that McKinley is also wearing in the bottom three.

[8:24] Andrew: Okay.

[8:24] Alison: And I'm like, okay.

[8:25] Andrew: I see who's loyal to who.

[8:27] Alison: And I'm like, this is giving very much um Chad and uh they're swapping fun.

[8:33] Andrew: Yeah, they're swapping.

[8:34] Alison: In High School Musical 2.

[8:35] Andrew: God damn it.

[8:36] Alison: Okay.

[8:37] Andrew: Interesting.

[8:38] Alison: Interesting.

[8:40] Andrew: Um, I thought it was hilarious.

[8:43] Alison: So they go into the choir room, right?

[8:47] Andrew: And we're introduced, every week, we're introduced to a new surprise guest.

[8:52] Alison: And um, does Lea Michele ever, is she one of the people?

[8:57] Andrew: Lea Michele does in the season two premiere.

[9:01] Alison: Okay, okay.

[9:02] Andrew: I was wondering when she would show up.

[9:04] Alison: Um, but there's like the fucking darkness over Idina Menzel as she walks in.

[9:11] Andrew: Like they're trying to keep it as much of a secret to the viewers as possible.

[9:15] Alison: But it's like, I know that walk.

[9:18] Andrew: I know that's Elphaba herself.

[9:19] Alison: Okay.

[9:25] Andrew: Um, she, and I do love, and I understand that this is, I know that like we are literally doing Glee Project Recap because we can't talk about the hit Fox series redacted. However, it does take me out that like Robert Ulrich is like, shh, Idina Menzel, who you may know as Shelby on Glee, and it's like, no, babe, that's literally Idina Menzel.

[9:49] Alison: Elphaba, Alphaba.

[9:50] Andrew: We, uh, Elphaba, Elsa, Maureen.

[9:52] Alison: Well, we guess we don't have Elsa yet, but like she has like, like I, the biggest thing she's done is the hit Fox show redacted.

[10:01] Andrew: Um, I loved two Elphabas looking at each other.

[10:05] Alison: Uh, the same exact thing.

[10:06] Andrew: That made me feel good.

[10:06] Alison: It made me feel really good that that was captured on um camera that it was uh projected on the Oxygen channel that we got to see two Elphabas witness lay eyes on each other for the very first time.

[10:19] Andrew: I know.

[10:20] Alison: Big kiss.

[10:21] Andrew: Pretty good.

[10:22] Alison: Um, what did I say?

[10:28] Andrew: Makes me want to light myself on fire, TBH.

[10:31] Alison: I think that's me with this whole performance of "Bad Romance."

[10:34] Andrew: There was something about it that was kind of like, this is kinda gonna be a consistent note for me with these homework assignments.

[10:41] Alison: Cringe.

[10:41] Andrew: They're cringe, but there's something very, very endearing about it.

[10:45] Alison: I don't know.

[10:45] Andrew: I think that Cameron is giving it their all.

[10:45] Alison: Cameron is doing something that is um really pissing me off.

[10:53] Andrew: And it's just like he's like doing the same thing where he's like, he literally looks like if like a witch cast a spell on a string bean and it came to life.

[11:07] Alison: Do you know what I mean?

[11:12] Andrew: Like that's exactly what I feel.

[11:14] Alison: He's just like touching his head.

[11:16] Andrew: Touching his head, touching his head.

[11:16] Alison: He's doing these things that I'm like, I didn't expect those movements out of him.

[11:21] Andrew: Oh.

[11:22] Alison: But wasn't that the appeal?

[11:24] Andrew: Wasn't that part of the portion?

[11:27] Alison: Like Laura is saying in the chat, Cameron was weirdly sexy.

[11:30] Andrew: I just have in every performance, it's just Cameron, hard eyes.

[11:30] Alison: Cameron, hard eyes, Cameron, hard eyes.

[11:38] Andrew: I love that man.

[11:40] Alison: I love him so much.

[11:41] Andrew: He could do no wrong.

[11:42] Alison: Um, he could punch me in the face.

[11:44] Andrew: No, I'm not gonna say that.

[11:46] Alison: No, the thing, step on me.

[11:49] Andrew: The thing that I felt was that Cameron does the same thing in every performance where he's like, he's like, he does a weird thing with his body, which Zach later like says, like, um, like you're doing something so weird, but I'm into it.

[12:04] Alison: Uh, like it's extremely cool, is what he says.

[12:08] Andrew: And it's weird.

[12:09] Alison: It's cringe.

[12:10] Andrew: And I don't like it.

[12:11] Alison: However, Mateus does the same thing in every performance where he does, he chooses the body rolls.

[12:16] Andrew: Yeah, he does the body rolls and then he chooses the highest note imaginable within his range.

[12:22] Alison: And I love it every single time.

[12:24] Andrew: Cameron, it's literally like, you know, like that Chihuahua meme where it's like Cameron, uh, like it's the angry Chihuahua when Cameron does the thing and then it's like angry, and then when Mateus does his thing and it's like happy and it's like really pleased.

[12:40] Alison: That's me creating the carousel live and live and in person.

[12:46] Andrew: Oh my fucking god.

[12:48] Alison: I, uh, Damien, what the dog doing?

[12:53] Andrew: What is the dog doing?

[12:55] Alison: Because truly, what's he doing?

[12:57] Andrew: I felt this the same in the first episode, and I think that I'll continue to feel this way with Damien.

[13:02] Alison: That it's like, it's so jarring watching him do all of these performances and being like this y'all man to Ryan Murphy.

[13:10] Andrew: This is who you chose, this is who won.

[13:10] Alison: This is who won this damn show.

[13:15] Andrew: We love Damien McGuinty.

[13:16] Alison: We fucking love Cam McGinty.

[13:19] Andrew: But some of these performances, I'm like, that was not the song for you.

[13:19] Alison: That was not the song for you, babe.

[13:25] Andrew: It's, and I'm sorry, and I apologize.

[13:27] Alison: And I think that it might have to do a lot with like, um, obviously with a lot of these people, they just grow into it, and I think that Damien also has grown into it, and that if we were to see a Damien McGinty 2023 performance of "Bad Romance," I think that we would have gotten something a little bit more um, better.

[13:48] Andrew: Well, some of these vocals like sound studio, especially in this performance.

[13:53] Alison: Yeah, they sound studio, and it, these homework assignments really make it obvious who is a strong singer and who is not.

[14:02] Andrew: I think that they gave Ellis like auto-tune or something. Did anybody catch that?

[14:05] Alison: Right.

[14:06] Andrew: Yeah, Ellis felt weird to me.

[14:08] Alison: Yeah, um, yeah, people in the chat are talking about Samuel, Samuel Larson.

[14:15] Andrew: Adina Menzel literally tells Samuel that he's hot.

[14:18] Alison: Yes, and is she wrong?

[14:19] Andrew: No. I mean, it's I feel so conflicted about saying that Samuel's hot because you have to consider the hair.

[14:29] Alison: And I will say, I mean, he looks the best when he's playing Zed in After.

[14:33] Andrew: And he no longer has the locks. He has the like short hair, the like, oh, and it's like flowing.

[14:40] Alison: Oh my god.

[14:41] Andrew: I'm salivating.

[14:43] Alison: Oh my god. Everybody, please go watch After the film.

[14:46] Andrew: I think it's on Netflix. If it's not, I will lend it to you from my personal.

[14:49] Alison: I feel like I watched the first one.

[14:51] Andrew: I watched the first one definitely.

[14:54] Alison: I don't know if I watched how many are there.

[14:57] Andrew: Uh, there's four right now, and there's a fifth one coming out soon.

[15:01] Alison: Huh.

[15:01] Andrew: And apparently Stephanie in the chat is saying he's in a new movie called Beautiful Disaster as well.

[15:07] Alison: Okay.

[15:08] Andrew: Anyway. That's what he is. That's what I refer to him as. He is a beautiful disaster. Big kiss. Love him.

[15:13] Alison: Oh my god. Love them.

[15:16] Andrew: Uh Tessa's actress got changed for the final movie.

[15:19] Alison: Sorry, this is becoming an After podcast.

[15:22] Andrew: That shit is so dumb. After is so fucking stupid.

[15:25] Alison: So that is so dumb. Thank you, Alice and Riger for sharing that.

[15:29] Andrew: Um this. I am fucking so angry with this series. The first one, iconic, perfect, beautiful.

[15:38] Alison: We love it.

[15:38] Andrew: I don't know if I would use those words from what I recall.

[15:40] Alison: Oh, well.

[15:42] Andrew: Taste.

[15:42] Alison: Taste different.

[15:43] Andrew: Anyways, second film was okay. Cole uh Dylan Sprouse is introduced and it's fun.

[15:49] Alison: But then they move to Italy for filming because of COVID.

[15:53] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[15:53] Alison: And they're locked down, so so many actors had to change.

[15:56] Andrew: And now for the final fucking movie, for the most important like conclusion of the storyline, she's not even in it.

[16:02] Alison: This shit is dumb. I quit. Pull a fucking Divergent and don't even fucking film it, okay? Leave me blue balls.

[16:09] Andrew: Okay. So is Samuel Larson still in this series or no?

[16:12] Alison: No, it makes me upset. And After for the folks at home that maybe aren't as aware of this series, from my understanding.

[16:21] Andrew: It's a Harry Styles.

[16:22] Alison: Okay, it's Harry Styles Smut caught on camera released in theaters.

[16:30] Andrew: Released in theaters that you went to like a midnight showing for?

[16:33] Alison: I oh I go to every midnight showing for these stupid movies.

[16:36] Andrew: I think that's so fun.

[16:38] Alison: Um but anyway.

[16:41] Andrew: Um anyways. Um I did love Adina Menzel trying to do the tap your head and rub your stomach.

[16:49] Alison: Audio medium, I'm tapping my head and rubbing my stomach. Very impressive.

[16:53] Andrew: Um but yeah. Who was your MVP of that performance? Because I have mine.

[16:58] Alison: Oh, is it's just gonna be Cameron.

[17:01] Andrew: Don't do that.

[17:03] Alison: Is it just gonna be Cami?

[17:06] Andrew: Cam.

[17:07] Alison: It's it's Cam Win. It's my baby Cam.

[17:10] Andrew: It's my baby Camin.

[17:11] Alison: It's my baby Camin.

[17:13] Andrew: Camlin's my MVP of this. I wolf him.

[17:16] Alison: Okay. He's cute.

[17:17] Andrew: All right, I don't have him. I don't have a weird allegiance to anybody in this way. So I'm gonna choose baby girl Emily.

[17:24] Alison: Um Emily really turned it in this performance, and um I'm glad that she got her flowers.

[17:30] Andrew: I also did think it was kind of interesting that like I don't know if this was purposeful, or if like Adina started giving notes to so many people that she's like, oh, there are a few people that I'm like leaving out that I literally need to give a note to every single person.

[17:43] Alison: Did you feel that a way as well? Where it was like you just needed to give a few people notes, but she I think I think she is famous and she knows she's famous, so she should go around and give everything.

[17:55] Andrew: Give someone and be like, you can have this forever as a treat. You can have this, you're gonna write this in your diary.

[18:01] Alison: She she called Samuel Larson hot.

[18:03] Andrew: Exactly. Samuel Larson went home and was like, oh my god.

[18:06] Alison: Oh my god. Oh then we are we oh do you have anything else about the homework?

[18:14] Andrew: Final note, Marissa was acting weird in the performance.

[18:17] Alison: Marissa is missing this entire episode.

[18:21] Andrew: Where is that woman? Does anybody have eyes on Marissa?

[18:24] Alison: Because I feel anybody got eyes on Marissa. I feel like this is like she finally, like in the first episode, she was kind of I feel like she was more like MIA in the first episode that she didn't really have much to do.

[18:34] Andrew: But like at least in this episode, I feel like she had like a few like different talking heads, confessionals, where she was doing things, right?

[18:42] Alison: But she I did notice that she was when she wasn't there, she really was not there.

[18:47] Andrew: She was very dissociative, very much not connected to the content.

[18:51] Alison: I don't want to be part of this conversation.

[18:53] Andrew: Yeah, she was like, I'm I'm ahead out.

[18:56] Alison: Right. I'm gonna go, I'll meet you all at craft services.

[18:58] Andrew: I know because like when we do get to the this is jumping ahead, we won't get into this full conversation, but the Ellis Lindsay brawl with in the girls dorm.

[19:06] Alison: Yes, Marissa, Marissa and McKinley, I think, are both like completely like Sweden vibes, they are not choosing sides.

[19:14] Andrew: Um but yeah, hmm, Marissa.

[19:17] Alison: Whenever you say that, whenever you it's Switzerland, by the way. Sweden is very much, very much partisan.

[19:22] Andrew: Yeah, Switzerland.

[19:23] Alison: Whenever you say that, I think of the Twilight scene where Kristen Stewart is in between Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson.

[19:31] Andrew: She's like, I'm Switzerland.

[19:34] Alison: She like puts her hands up.

[19:36] Andrew: I'm Sweden.

[19:37] Alison: I'm Sweden, okay.

[19:39] Andrew: Um I'm Nordic.

[19:41] Alison: But when they when the performance is over, they it was captured on film, them kind of doing the walk of shame back to their seats.

[19:50] Andrew: Did you catch that?

[19:50] Alison: It's so dehumanizing.

[19:52] Andrew: It was just like, okay, that was like really, I gave a a thousand percent in that performance in the cringiest way possible. Let me sit my ass down.

[19:58] Alison: Uh go ahead and log out for me, everybody.

[20:02] Andrew: Go ahead and log out.

[20:05] Alison: Um we have a scene of dancing with Zach, we always do, and these scenes stress me out to the fucking max, man.

[20:15] Andrew: Zach Woodley, I don't think we would get along.

[20:18] Alison: He looks too much like Jasper from Twilight.

[20:21] Andrew: And um, he's just like, I don't get stressful vibes from him.

[20:29] Alison: Oh, what do you mean?

[20:31] Andrew: No, he is like, well, no, what I get what I get from him is that it's like I was like really annoyed in this episode that it's like endearing when Damien can't dance, but for whatever reason when Bryce and Ellis can't dance, it's like get the fuck out of here.

[20:49] Alison: You're stupid. Get a fucking Irish accent, bitch.

[20:52] Andrew: Right, exactly. Maybe then I'll find you cute.

[20:55] Alison: Exactly.

[20:56] Andrew: Fuck you.

[20:57] Alison: Um fuck you, seriously.

[20:59] Andrew: I loved Lindsay's little um watch if you get lost.

[21:04] Alison: And I'm like, oh, that is edited.

[21:07] Andrew: That is edited, but like it does not look good, babe.

[21:10] Alison: It's not looking good.

[21:11] Andrew: I have the tapes, and it's not looking good for one Lindsay Pierce.

[21:16] Alison: Um like is this is this the old girl?

[21:19] Andrew: Well, because the thing is is that there's they're doing that for Lindsay, but then Alex Mateus is like, I just can't stop my body from rolling like that.

[21:28] Alison: And Alex says, well, tell it to stop.

[21:30] Andrew: Well, tell it to stop on being so serious.

[21:33] Alison: And I'm like, that is equally as savage, and nobody's paying attention.

[21:38] Andrew: Nobody's saying And there's no like um like music cue of being like a Roblox grunt.

[21:47] Alison: Um the you don't know this, but in Lincoln Zelda, there's like a ding.

[21:53] Andrew: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[21:54] Alison: With um, no, what's the little like um fairy?

[21:58] Andrew: The Boko Goblins.

[21:59] Alison: When something like that's important to the plot happens, that sound is played.

[22:03] Andrew: And that was why are we doing that for when Alex knew all saying shit like that?

[22:09] Alison: Interesting.

[22:12] Andrew: Okay, and so then we kind of like breeze past, we get like some flashbacks to in the in the studio with Nikki.

[22:20] Alison: But we don't get like a whole like, hey, we're going to the studio like we did in the last episode.

[22:25] Andrew: It's like only relevant when like a certain character has a flashback of drama.

[22:31] Alison: Remember, remember when I was in the studio with Nikki?

[22:34] Andrew: Queen Nikki Dominant?

[22:35] Alison: Queen and me. I was falling flat on my face when I was in the studio with Nikki.

[22:40] Andrew: And then it plays the scene.

[22:42] Alison: I swear to God, Nikki, she kills me because I feel like she is like she's just having a good time.

[22:55] Andrew: She's just like, she's just like audio medium. I'm relaxing in my chair.

[22:59] Alison: I'm like nodding along to the music. Do you think that you would get along with Queen Nikki Dominant Prominent?

[23:06] Andrew: Um I would try as hard as fuck because I want her on my side.

[23:10] Alison: I don't think she would genuinely like me, but I think we would both get something out of that friendship.

[23:17] Andrew: Oh gosh, that is so true.

[23:19] Alison: And I wasn't even thinking about that. But like that is that speaks so much to what I continue to work on in therapy.

[23:27] Andrew: That like literally, like I seek validation from like the people that are like hardest to impress that these mean girl tropes where it's like, oh okay, if I'm in with a mean girl, then that means I made it.

[23:38] Alison: Because like my heart's like, oh, I want to be friends with Nikki. Nikki's so cool.

[23:41] Andrew: Yeah.

[23:42] Alison: And if I get in with Nikki, then that means I'm worth something.

[23:46] Andrew: Then it means that I'm cool.

[23:47] Alison: But then like Nikki's gonna talk shit about me behind my back.

[23:50] Andrew: Right.

[23:50] Alison: And Nikki's gonna be like, oh, you didn't hit that note, Andrew.

[23:52] Andrew: And I'm like, I literally wasn't trying.

[23:55] Alison: I'll do I'm salivating.

[23:58] Andrew: But I do love Nikki. I have a very complicated relationship with Nikki.

[24:02] Alison: Stay tuned to see how it pans out.

[24:03] Andrew: Yeah, I think I also will be bringing Nikki up in therapy.

[24:08] Alison: And I will say that this we're without getting ahead of ourselves.

[24:14] Andrew: This might be the final episode of Nikki being cool with Lindsay.

[24:18] Alison: Ooh.

[24:19] Andrew: Like Nikki was like, oh, you hit that note, Lindsay.

[24:22] Alison: And I knew Lindsay comes and oh, I do, and then Lindsay continuing to give fodder to the villain edit.

[24:29] Andrew: Coming out of the studio good baby.

[24:31] Alison: It's not it's not looking good for you, girls.

[24:33] Andrew: It's not like but I'm like, are there s are there like villain scraps for like McKinley?

[24:38] Alison: Right.

[24:38] Andrew: Are there like are we just not seeing it?

[24:41] Alison: McKinley did an open face slap to Hannah.

[24:44] Andrew: Do we not see that?

[24:45] Alison: We could easily edit Emily as the villain too.

[24:48] Andrew: Because Emily do be saying shit.

[24:51] Alison: And I think I think there's I think she could be as sassy as Lindsay.

[24:57] Andrew: They just she's just saying sassy things about Lindsay.

[25:00] Alison: So they're using the Lindsay stuff.

[25:02] Andrew: And like, oh, I think these fucking editors are fucking geniuses.

[25:06] Alison: But we're in the video shoot.

[25:09] Andrew: Wait, can I just say I know that I I know we're so desperate to get to the video shoot. Can I just say one final thing?

[25:15] Alison: For the sake of just like saying one final like uh thing that Lindsay's doing.

[25:20] Andrew: Lindsay comes out of the recording studio, everyone's like, how'd it go?

[25:24] Alison: And then she says, Did you hear that? That's how it went.

[25:27] Andrew: It's like, yeah, I hit that. I know I did that.

[25:31] Alison: These kids are so young. Like, of course you're I I knew girls in theater that would say shit like that.

[25:38] Andrew: Like, they're just so young, but it yeah, it doesn't look good.

[25:42] Alison: It's not looking good, but like literally whatever you need to get by.

[25:47] Andrew: Literally, like you just grow and you feel you realize, like, hey, maybe don't be saying shit like that.

[25:53] Alison: Yep.

[25:54] Andrew: But for it to be captured in cam on camera, I literally said cringy things that were not premiered on oxygen.

[26:00] Alison: Exactly.

[26:00] Andrew: I do I would say shit backstage.

[26:03] Alison: Yeah.

[26:04] Andrew: Problematic.

[26:05] Alison: Problematic.

[26:06] Andrew: I'm glad there were no cameras.

[26:07] Alison: But we're we're at the video shoot.

[26:10] Andrew: I'm wondering who the fuck is choosing these costumes? These are fucking terrible.

[26:12] Alison: Can I say that?

[26:15] Andrew: Uh I liked I agree with you for the most part.

[26:21] Alison: There was one that was a silver lining.

[26:24] Andrew: And that was Hannah.

[26:25] Alison: Hannah was Hannah's slay.

[26:26] Andrew: Hannah was uh the fur coat.

[26:30] Alison: And I understand that they probably like Moulin Rouge probably just closed around the corner or something, and they were like, okay, we we got the Hyperion.

[26:39] Andrew: Yeah.

[26:40] Alison: Um but I she slayed, she was the she was the MVP of that performance.

[26:46] Andrew: She looked great and she sounded great, and she was, but not uh not Cameron for you this time around.

[26:46] Alison: Not Cameron.

[26:54] Andrew: Ooh. Homework assignment Cameron is my favorite Cameron because he's real and he's raw and he's honest, and I want to just fucking put the Cameron.

[27:00] Alison: And uh award-winning director Eric White is not putting him in a different thing.

[27:05] Andrew: Okay, he did a P. Diddy video.

[27:09] Alison: I like literally it took me out when they were like, and they'll be doing a music video with award-winning director Eric White, and I'm like, what are the awards?

[27:09] Andrew: What are the awards?

[27:17] Alison: It's the award is like uh it's a fucking win.

[27:23] Andrew: Trying to think of a really dumb award.

[27:25] Alison: It's like a participation trophy for um Buffalo or wait, B dubs, Buffalo Wild Wings Blaze and Challenge.

[27:33] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[27:35] Alison: He shot a music video in there.

[27:37] Andrew: Exactly.

[27:38] Alison: Um, Ellis being like, I don't want to look stupid.

[27:42] Andrew: And I'm like, Ellis, babe, that's acting.

[27:47] Alison: And then you're gonna look stupid all the time.

[27:50] Andrew: Yeah, Brooke says in rebuttal, she says, I'm not gonna make you look dumbass.

[27:58] Alison: And Brooke forgot to say the words like uh.

[28:03] Andrew: She just says, I'm not gonna make you look dumbass.

[28:06] Alison: Where's the comma?

[28:08] Andrew: Where is the comma there?

[28:09] Alison: Where's the punctuation?

[28:10] Andrew: Punctuation.

[28:11] Alison: Where is it?

[28:11] Andrew: Where's the punctuation?

[28:13] Alison: Where's the punctuation?

[28:14] Andrew: That's punctuation and pronunciation merged.

[28:18] Alison: Um, oh, she used to do when she's talking about McKinley.

[28:23] Andrew: She's like, oh, she used to blah blah blah blah blah.

[28:26] Alison: And I'm like, how the fuck long have you known McKinley?

[28:29] Andrew: Wait, I forgot I didn't catch this part.

[28:31] Alison: What did she say?

[28:32] Andrew: She was saying McKinley was just really boring in the studio and phoning it in.

[28:36] Alison: Uh-huh.

[28:37] Andrew: And um she was like, oh, she used to be so involved.

[28:37] Alison: She used to be so connected.

[28:42] Andrew: And I'm just growing up when on the playground.

[28:46] Alison: Exactly.

[28:46] Andrew: McKinley and I, she used to be really authentically McKinley.

[28:51] Alison: Um I'm like, okay.

[28:54] Andrew: Okay.

[28:56] Alison: Okay.

[28:57] Andrew: And I wanted all these people to just fucking stop caring about looking stupid.

[29:01] Alison: However, let's talk about the Ellis kiss.

[29:05] Andrew: Let's talk about the Ellis kiss kiss.

[29:06] Alison: I was like really con I needed to rewind because I was unsure on the details if this actually was her first kiss or not.

[29:12] Andrew: Right.

[29:13] Alison: I think it was.

[29:14] Andrew: From what I understand, it was her first kiss.

[29:18] Alison: Yes.

[29:18] Andrew: And she lied to Lindsay in the moment because nerves or whatever.

[29:24] Alison: And said it wasn't her first kiss, but it was.

[29:24] Andrew: It was.

[29:28] Alison: However, why are we making 18-year-olds kiss random people?

[29:34] Andrew: Wasn't even considering that great point.

[29:36] Alison: Why are we?

[29:38] Andrew: It's not conducive to the plot.

[29:42] Alison: But I will say weird response to this, actually.

[29:47] Andrew: Now that I'm thinking about it.

[29:48] Alison: What are you gonna say?

[29:50] Andrew: It worked.

[29:53] Alison: Yeah, you made an 18-year-old kiss, but it worked.

[29:53] Andrew: It worked.

[29:59] Alison: It works.

[29:59] Andrew: Yes, it caused drama for television.

[30:02] Alison: No, but like I'm just like, if I was just watching this music video, I'd be like, oh, that's cool.

[30:08] Andrew: Okay.

[30:09] Alison: She kissed him.

[30:10] Andrew: Okay.

[30:11] Alison: Okay.

[30:11] Andrew: I never thought that girl would be kissing, but you know what?

[30:14] Alison: She do be kissing.

[30:16] Andrew: And then Hannah being like having Hannah having the loudest response of them all and being like, was there a tongue?

[30:22] Alison: Oh my god.

[30:23] Andrew: So embarrassing.

[30:24] Alison: But when you're 18 and you're kissing somebody in front of another person, oh dear God, that's all it's all about, and it's yucky and it's awkward and it's uncomfy and Lindsay.

[30:36] Andrew: Baby girl.

[30:38] Alison: It doesn't, this doesn't look good.

[30:42] Andrew: It's not.

[30:43] Alison: I know.

[30:44] Andrew: If I was like Lindsay's lawyer after watching Cleafrice, I don't know if I want to represent you.

[30:51] Alison: It's not you're not really in the in the in the favor of the public eye right now.

[30:57] Andrew: Yeah.

[30:57] Alison: It's not looking good.

[30:59] Andrew: It's not looking so good for you, babes.

[31:01] Alison: Yeah.

[31:01] Andrew: Um yeah, Ellis, I don't know.

[31:06] Alison: Damien, oh my god.

[31:08] Andrew: I this is the worst music video of the season for me.

[31:12] Alison: Didn't like it.

[31:13] Andrew: I made it Hannah Hannah did her best to keep it above water.

[31:17] Alison: Right.

[31:17] Andrew: But a lot of people were causing it to sink.

[31:20] Alison: Yeah.

[31:20] Andrew: I didn't I didn't like the song.

[31:22] Alison: Uh Marissa, her line is like, ha.

[31:27] Andrew: That's it.

[31:29] Alison: That's it.

[31:30] Andrew: Marissa, where in the hell have you been, Loco?

[31:33] Alison: Local.

[31:33] Andrew: What the fuck?

[31:35] Alison: She was like, maybe if I don't appear in the episode, then I won't be in the bottom three.

[31:40] Andrew: They'll just free.

[31:41] Alison: It's like, ooh, think three steps ahead.

[31:44] Andrew: Galaxy brain.

[31:44] Alison: Galaxy brain.

[31:46] Andrew: Um, can I say something about McKinley though?

[31:48] Alison: Um, McKinley made me feel like I'm feeling obviously very um emo today.

[31:54] Andrew: But McKinley really struck a chord with me because I saw a lot of myself in McKinley because like McKinley, her problem continues to be that she's not letting herself be McKinley.

[32:05] Alison: She like kind of like is shutting down, or she's not letting her like true colors for the lack of better term, um show.

[32:16] Andrew: And so I'm like, yeah, that really fucking sucks when you're in like when you're like when you show up to do a music video with award-winning director, Eric Eric White White, and and then you're like, This is make or break time, McKinley, and it's like you literally don't have access to the McKinley that got you on this damn show.

[32:35] Alison: And I'm like, that fucking sucks.

[32:37] Andrew: Been there, you just like I you don't have access to that person.

[32:40] Alison: And I just like fully related and I feel for you, girly pop.

[32:43] Andrew: Because I know I seen what you could do, I've seen what I could do.

[32:47] Alison: And I was like, like, we this is not the best representation.

[32:51] Andrew: And fuck, like now, Ryan Murphy's gonna have to watch this.

[32:54] Alison: I know.

[32:55] Andrew: Scary to me.

[32:56] Alison: I who did I see myself in this performance?

[33:01] Andrew: Um Hannah.

[33:04] Alison: Hannah, being the star.

[33:06] Andrew: Yeah, being the star, being wearing the wearing the fluffy coat.

[33:09] Alison: I think it's just because I would wear the fluffy coat and I loved it.

[33:12] Andrew: Me having this very emotional like this is who I'm gonna be.

[33:15] Alison: This is who I related to.

[33:16] Andrew: And then you're like, I think I really killed.

[33:19] Alison: I read to Hannah because she was actually like really cool, and she was actually really good at everything she does, and she was wearing a really great coat.

[33:25] Andrew: She's wearing a really cool coat.

[33:26] Alison: So that's really cool.

[33:28] Andrew: Oh god.

[33:29] Alison: Do we do we have anything else about the video shoot?

[33:33] Andrew: I don't really, it was very like okay, we're there.

[33:38] Alison: Well, I want to talk about the structure, like the story that they're telling with this with this music video that the MVP of the music video, Alex, is having this um, I guess collective daydream.

[33:52] Andrew: And he's having it in a heavy quotations, cafeteria.

[33:59] Alison: That cafeteria was a glorified hallway.

[34:02] Andrew: I am so sorry.

[34:03] Alison: It was the tiniest room.

[34:05] Andrew: Like, I'm sorry.

[34:06] Alison: Well, I guess are they using at this point in time the cafeteria on the show?

[34:13] Andrew: They must be using like the actual school cafeteria.

[34:17] Alison: They're not using.

[34:18] Andrew: Are you talking about the redacted show?

[34:20] Alison: Yeah, I'm talking about the redacted show.

[34:21] Andrew: That the cafeteria that we saw in this music video was not redacted.

[34:27] Alison: And I'm I'm like, why couldn't they have filmed there?

[34:29] Andrew: But like there was probably logistics to that.

[34:31] Alison: Um yeah, the smallest cafeteria I've ever seen.

[34:34] Andrew: That's more like a little cafe in an office building.

[34:37] Alison: It reminded me of, I don't know if you get these videos on your TikTok feed, but like it's like little skits of like um, like it will it will be like a mom and daughter and daughter's friend go out to a restaurant.

[34:52] Andrew: Again, heavy quotations.

[34:54] Alison: And the mom is being racist toward the daughter's friend, and then the daughter feels weird, and it's like this like very like at-home TikTok where it was like the it almost like it's student film vibes, where it's like they really needed to get this message out, but they did not have the production to be able to tell it.

[35:12] Andrew: And I think that this was this Eric White music video.

[35:16] Alison: I think your for you page would blow my mind.

[35:18] Andrew: I it is very galaxy brained.

[35:20] Alison: Like I don't think a lot of people would be able to take it.

[35:22] Andrew: Not a lot of people think about that.

[35:24] Alison: On my for you page, it's saying racism is bad, and I don't think a lot of people are ready for that conversation.

[35:31] Andrew: Oh my god.

[35:33] Alison: Yeah, the cafeteria is small.

[35:36] Andrew: I Alex with Adina was fun to watch because I think it shows how much Alex has grown as a performer and as a singer.

[35:46] Alison: I think their voice has really come a long way, and it just goes to show like oh my god, absolutely amazing.

[35:54] Andrew: And um, I loved it.

[35:57] Alison: It was cute.

[35:58] Andrew: Well, that's like that's what like I continue to feel about like people like Alex and Lindsay, like having seen Lindsay together in Titanic and seeing her in Wicked and everything.

[36:11] Alison: Like I get friggin' emo, but like I'll go see like Leah Michelle and Funny Girl and be like, I'm not feeling as emotional because I think that we were granted access to watch this like audition process of like okay, we saw them like work their asses off to become like we literally saw the birth of Alex Newell.

[36:35] Andrew: Yeah.

[36:37] Alison: We literally saw that on Oxygen.

[36:38] Andrew: I know.

[36:39] Alison: It was just like um Mary's little child.

[36:44] Andrew: What's the fucking song?

[36:45] Alison: Mary's oh, um Love Child.

[36:47] Andrew: Mary's L Boy Child.

[36:48] Alison: Love Child.

[36:49] Andrew: No, it's love it love child.

[36:50] Alison: Love child.

[36:51] Andrew: Um yeah.

[36:52] Alison: But I don't know, I just get really like happy.

[36:54] Andrew: Like when Alex Noel won a Tony, I'm just like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[36:57] Alison: I literally watched you when you were 18 and you've been in this game since then and now you're literally winning a goddamn Tony I get emo yeah that's good um so yeah again literally worst um performer of this music video was are we wait are we collective I thought you were saying that this is the worst music video oh no no no I'm saying who do you do you have a worst performance for performer in this music video Lisa where was she Marissa because she was absent yeah best was Hannah Best was Hannah and I'm gonna say again Damien babe Damien well because I was thinking I was thinking about the the theme of theatricality and I'm like who here is not because it's all we only think about the theme when it's when it's convenient for us when it's convenient and I was I just happened to be thinking about it when I was looking at Damien on screen I'm like you're not doing it you're not doing the theatricality thing no even Ellis's she's kissing someone she's doing a little bit of tonsil hockey on stage man and so then we go to the girls dorm yes which you referenced earlier for the drama total drama island we get to Total Trauma Glee project total total total drama project um and yeah okay it starts off with Emily giving some feedback to Ellis in a very conducive manner and being like, hey, like maybe this thing that you said earlier wasn't the best thing.

[38:36] Andrew: Yeah.

[38:37] Alison: But like, it's okay.

[38:38] Andrew: Like we like you live and learn.

[38:41] Alison: I do think she should have had that conversation one-on-one.

[38:46] Andrew: That is a great point.

[38:47] Alison: Something that I wasn't even considering.

[38:48] Andrew: But they are also one of my notes is they are 18.

[38:53] Alison: 18 year olds are not emotionally.

[38:56] Andrew: Well, even 22, even however old Emily is, they are not emotionally mature enough to have conversations like this.

[39:07] Alison: So obviously they're gonna fail and they're gonna be emotional.

[39:10] Andrew: Not saying that they shouldn't have these conversations, but like, yeah, it should have been done one on one and been like, hey, like that probably isn't helping your case.

[39:22] Alison: Like, don't take this personally, but like you like you are being pretty negative all the time.

[39:27] Andrew: And I understand that reality show got a reality show.

[39:31] Alison: So this needs to be a public conversation in the girls' dorm.

[39:34] Andrew: Girls' room, girls' room.

[39:37] Alison: Um, and Lindsay's point is understandable.

[39:40] Andrew: Like, I don't like it.

[39:41] Alison: Lindsay does it.

[39:42] Andrew: Lindsay's not oh god, but it's like But the way that she's coming across with it is not great.

[39:49] Alison: It's so like literally makes me so freaking mad.

[39:53] Andrew: But they're 18.

[39:54] Alison: Come on.

[39:55] Andrew: They're kids.

[39:58] Alison: They're kids.

[39:59] Andrew: Like, let them, they are not gonna communicate well.

[40:03] Alison: They that I mean, that's a true testament.

[40:05] Andrew: They're they're definitely not communicating well.

[40:07] Alison: But I think I don't know.

[40:09] Andrew: I'm just like stop being so mean to me all the time.

[40:12] Alison: Uh when they literally, when they were like, um, I left out tea for you, and I'm like, oh my god, I've had this conversation so many different times with people where I'm like, ah, stop using the tea as leverage.

[40:23] Andrew: Stop it, stop it.

[40:23] Alison: Stop it.

[40:24] Andrew: Oh god, oh god, oh no.

[40:27] Alison: Um.

[40:28] Andrew: But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[40:31] Alison: Um, I don't know.

[40:33] Andrew: It just made me mad too because it's like, and then Ellis is part of the bottom three again, and she lets everybody know that, like, hey, this is the second time.

[40:41] Alison: In case you hose forgot.

[40:43] Andrew: In case you host forgot.

[40:45] Alison: Ellis, Ellis will let you know time and time again that this is her second time in the bottom three.

[40:49] Andrew: I know what to expect.

[40:51] Alison: I know what to expect.

[40:52] Andrew: Yeah.

[40:53] Alison: Well, maybe you should fucking figure your shit out, Ellis, and you wouldn't be in the bottom three.

[40:58] Andrew: No, because my response was that, like.

[41:02] Alison: Why is Lindsay not in the bottom three?

[41:04] Andrew: Can't we like have a talking to like just can we just sp I know she's good.

[41:09] Alison: And I know she's like, yeah, she's a better performer than Ellis.

[41:13] Andrew: But she fit the theme and she did it well.

[41:16] Alison: Right.

[41:16] Andrew: However, can we give her a little spook?

[41:19] Alison: Can we like, can we be like, Lindsay, you're in the bottom three?

[41:22] Andrew: Can you cut this shit out, please?

[41:25] Alison: Stop being a goddamn bully.

[41:28] Andrew: I don't know if she's being a bully.

[41:29] Alison: I want to, I don't know.

[41:31] Andrew: I mean, yeah, it doesn't look good.

[41:33] Alison: And I'm like, literally, why is this a conversation with like why is it why did we have to see a conversation between Ryan Murphy and Ellis where Ryan Murphy's like, you're being negative.

[41:45] Andrew: I'm like, I literally cannot have this conversation.

[41:47] Alison: Like, I literally, it's cringy.

[41:49] Andrew: Um, it's as cringe as most of the homework assignments, because it's like literally, why is this girl being punished?

[41:55] Alison: I don't understand.

[41:56] Andrew: Make it make sense.

[41:58] Alison: I they don't even like have time on this show to step back and like be proud of themselves.

[42:04] Andrew: It's like homework assignment, music video, bottom three.

[42:07] Alison: Homework assignment, music video, bottom three.

[42:09] Andrew: It's like I can't even like breathe before I'm like, oh fuck, I might be kicked off this fucking show.

[42:15] Alison: There's nothing you can say.

[42:17] Andrew: There's nothing to do.

[42:18] Alison: Like, oh god, oh god, oh god.

[42:20] Andrew: And it's scary to me.

[42:22] Alison: And so the bottom three is McKinley, Mateus, and Ellis.

[42:27] Andrew: And can I just say on the record, none of those people would have been in my bottom three from this performance from this episode.

[42:33] Alison: Marissa.

[42:35] Andrew: Okay, so this is your bottom three, Marissa.

[42:38] Alison: Marissa.

[42:40] Andrew: Ellis, Damien.

[42:43] Alison: Okay.

[42:45] Andrew: We agree on Damien.

[42:47] Alison: I'm putting, to no one's surprise, Lindsay in there just to like send her through a little haunted house and um give her a little spook.

[42:56] Andrew: And also Cameron, because you're pissing me off.

[42:59] Alison: Why?

[43:00] Andrew: He's so cute.

[43:01] Alison: No, no, no.

[43:02] Andrew: Not for everybody.

[43:04] Alison: He doesn't have mass appeal.

[43:06] Andrew: He can't do anything wrong.

[43:08] Alison: That's my baby.

[43:09] Andrew: That's my baby right there.

[43:12] Alison: I have him on the pedestal.

[43:13] Andrew: Don't fucking think him up.

[43:15] Alison: Um, I loved Emily's lipstick on Matthias's cheek.

[43:19] Andrew: I thought that was fucking clutch.

[43:21] Alison: That we saw it on camera.

[43:22] Andrew: The kiss being planted and then Mateus being like, hmm, do I keep it?

[43:26] Alison: Does it be a good one?

[43:26] Andrew: I think Brian would think it's funny.

[43:30] Alison: He would.

[43:31] Andrew: He did.

[43:32] Alison: Um Ellis' outfit is so 2010.

[43:39] Andrew: Which I didn't realize until watching this episode.

[43:43] Alison: I don't know if these are outfits that all of these contestants have pre-owned.

[43:48] Andrew: Like if I realize when McKinley walks into the room, sh the purple dress that she performs in is hung up on a hanger.

[43:59] Alison: And so I'm like, okay, is that is that production's dress or is that McKinley's dress?

[44:05] Andrew: Right.

[44:06] Alison: And did she get to choose that?

[44:08] Andrew: Right.

[44:08] Alison: I don't.

[44:08] Andrew: I have questions.

[44:09] Alison: Did she prep it?

[44:10] Andrew: Did she prep it and she's like, you know what? This is the dress I want to sing Janice Chopin in?

[44:15] Alison: I don't know.

[44:16] Andrew: I don't know.

[44:16] Alison: That's a good question that we should ask our friends that are literally on the show.

[44:21] Andrew: Yeah, I if only we If only we knew them and talked to them all the time.

[44:27] Alison: Um my thing is I just don't think I like jazz voices.

[44:38] Andrew: The trans and transatlantic accent slipping in there.

[44:44] Alison: I wait, can you explain transatlantic?

[44:49] Andrew: Transatlantic.

[44:51] Alison: Oh, what's a good I mean it's like the snow white of it all.

[44:54] Andrew: It's the I can I can I try to do it?

[44:58] Alison: Well, do you want to save it for your keep holding on at the end of the episode?

[45:01] Andrew: Yeah.

[45:01] Alison: Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[45:03] Andrew: Okay, okay, okay.

[45:04] Alison: Um and I just I hated Ellis' song.

[45:08] Andrew: I hated it with a fiery burning passion.

[45:11] Alison: You really hated it?

[45:12] Andrew: Mac the knife.

[45:13] Alison: I don't know what that is.

[45:14] Andrew: Uh what does that even mean?

[45:16] Alison: What does that even mean?

[45:17] Andrew: I don't know.

[45:18] Alison: I don't want it.

[45:19] Andrew: Oh, you know, I'm putting it together now because like when they say Mac the Knife, I all of a sudden think of like Fiona Apple.

[45:26] Alison: Do you listen to Fiona Apple at all?

[45:29] Andrew: Fiona Apple is Phoebe Bridgersong is like criminal.

[45:33] Alison: Um, but uh she has a song called I why can't I remember?

[45:40] Andrew: All I need is a good defense, cause I'm feeling like a criminal and I need to be redeemed for the one which would fit Ellis' voice a lot.

[45:54] Alison: Okay, but I was thinking, I was like, why am I thinking of Fiona Apple while they say Mac the knife?

[45:58] Andrew: It's because there's a Fiona Apple song called Bolt Hutters Knife.

[46:03] Alison: Bolt Cutter, you know it!

[46:04] Andrew: I know the bolt cutters.

[46:05] Alison: Okay, fetch the bolt cutters cutters.

[46:07] Andrew: Yeah.

[46:08] Alison: I do know that one.

[46:09] Andrew: Yeah, but Hot Knife, which I love.

[46:12] Alison: I'm gonna go listen to that after this recording is over.

[46:14] Andrew: I love everybody go stream up.

[46:17] Alison: I love Fiona Apple.

[46:20] Andrew: I never she's my little baby.

[46:22] Alison: I never Fiona Apple is my BB Kevin's.

[46:26] Andrew: Let's have a little play date.

[46:27] Alison: I would do like put them in the little crib.

[46:29] Andrew: I can't hear you.

[46:30] Alison: Put them in the little crib and give them a binky.

[46:32] Andrew: Did you hear that?

[46:33] Alison: I I can't wait to hear it.

[46:35] Andrew: I'm gonna put them in their little crib and I'm gonna give them a binky.

[46:39] Alison: Um I loved I loved the Ryan quote and I wrote it down word for word.

[46:47] Andrew: Why should I keep telling you you can when you're telling me you can't?

[46:53] Alison: I was like it's it's it's really hurts hearing it back.

[46:57] Andrew: Yeah.

[46:58] Alison: I was like, holy shit.

[47:00] Andrew: Wait, say it one more time.

[47:02] Alison: Why should I keep telling you you can when you're telling me you can't?

[47:08] Andrew: That is big.

[47:10] Alison: I was like, holy fuck, I need that embroidered.

[47:13] Andrew: Like that is Wait, and who did if she he said that to Ellis?

[47:19] Alison: Yes, he said that to Ellis, and I'm like, I need that said to me, I need to say that to other people.

[47:23] Andrew: Like, that is prolific.

[47:27] Alison: Yeah, it's huge.

[47:28] Andrew: Yeah, I mean, it just speaks to Ellis' level of confidence.

[47:31] Alison: Like, she didn't have it, but again, she's a teen.

[47:37] Andrew: Teen chang.

[47:41] Alison: Like, of course she's not gonna feel great.

[47:45] Andrew: It's true.

[47:46] Alison: She's she does not she does not have fully developed brain yet.

[47:51] Andrew: None of them do.

[47:52] Alison: No, I I can't fault her for that.

[47:54] Andrew: We cannot fault her for that.

[47:56] Alison: And you know what else we can't fault people for?

[47:58] Andrew: Sound like a goddamn broken record, but we cannot fault people for doing the part of the writer.

[48:05] Alison: I can't write for that.

[48:07] Andrew: Guess what?

[48:08] Alison: I don't give a fuck.

[48:09] Andrew: Your job is to fight.

[48:12] Alison: Then you do it.

[48:14] Andrew: I don't want to be an actor.

[48:16] Alison: I want to sing.

[48:18] Andrew: I want to sing.

[48:19] Alison: I don't want to write.

[48:20] Andrew: I'm part of SEG, not WGA.

[48:23] Alison: Okay.

[48:27] Andrew: What don't you fucking understand?

[48:29] Alison: Aren't you are aren't you one of the most esteemed writers in this fucking field?

[48:37] Andrew: Oh, sweet Jesus.

[48:38] Alison: I can't write for that.

[48:40] Andrew: Guess what?

[48:42] Alison: Then great.

[48:43] Andrew: Okay.

[48:44] Alison: Muck you!

[48:45] Andrew: Then why are we doing this?

[48:46] Alison: Why are we here?

[48:49] Andrew: What are we doing?

[48:51] Alison: Mateus.

[48:53] Andrew: That song.

[48:55] Alison: Oh, wait, so we're going wait, are we going to Mateus?

[48:58] Andrew: Wait, do I have anything else about Ellie?

[49:00] Alison: Um, Ellis, unfortunately, okay, so Ellis is um fist bumping.

[49:03] Andrew: Did anybody catch that?

[49:05] Alison: Ellis starts fist bumping to Mac the knife.

[49:08] Andrew: Um, okay.

[49:11] Alison: Theatrical vibes.

[49:12] Andrew: Uh she was that was the theatrical choice, I would say.

[49:15] Alison: It was.

[49:15] Andrew: Um, and two of these performances, two of the three last chance performances give me very much cruise performances.

[49:24] Alison: Do you know what I mean?

[49:26] Andrew: And where it's like, okay, like it's good, like for what that seems so rude because we also wait, stop it.

[49:32] Alison: We have friends that are uh cruise performance performers.

[49:35] Andrew: Um we have friends that are cruise performances.

[49:39] Alison: Um but I don't know.

[49:42] Andrew: There was just something like so like this is like elevator music for me.

[49:47] Alison: Yeah, like doo doo doo doo doo doo.

[49:50] Andrew: Like I could kind of like tap in when I want to, tap out when I don't want to be part of this.

[49:56] Alison: It's the music that um your healthcare provider puts on when you're on hold, when you're trying to schedule your dentist appointment for the third fucking time this month.

[50:05] Andrew: And you keep calling me, and I call you fucking back, and then you put me on hold for two hours, you fucking hate.

[50:10] Alison: You're kidding.

[50:11] Andrew: I hate them.

[50:12] Alison: I hate them.

[50:13] Andrew: Wait, two hours?

[50:15] Alison: Okay, not two hours.

[50:16] Andrew: Okay, that's an exaggeration, but you know what I mean.

[50:19] Alison: I'd be like, I'm showing up at the office.

[50:28] Andrew: Okay.

[50:28] Alison: Do you want to know what my not to really do a hard left into dental?

[50:33] Andrew: Okay, I'm gonna come clean.

[50:35] Alison: I didn't go to the dentist for five years.

[50:37] Andrew: Um, and I went for the first time last month, and she Nancy, I'll say her name.

[50:44] Alison: Nancy, kind of a bitch to me.

[50:47] Andrew: Um, and I went to her last month and she like dragged dragged me to hell and back for like, how dare you wait this long?

[50:56] Alison: Like, your teeth are like literally like that of a barbarian, you idiot.

[51:02] Andrew: And I'm like, okay, chill.

[51:03] Alison: Chill.

[51:04] Andrew: Okay.

[51:04] Alison: At least I showed up here.

[51:05] Andrew: I could have waited another five years.

[51:07] Alison: Exactly.

[51:08] Andrew: Here I am.

[51:09] Alison: Um so, and then at the end of that first appointment last month, she was like, actually, I'm gonna need you to come back again next month to finish what we're doing here.

[51:20] Andrew: And you know what just a cleaning?

[51:22] Alison: Just a cleaning.

[51:23] Andrew: Fuck.

[51:25] Alison: And I'm like, it's not fucking that bad.

[51:28] Andrew: Not bad.

[51:29] Alison: I brushed my teeth.

[51:30] Andrew: I brushed my teeth.

[51:31] Alison: Just get it done.

[51:33] Andrew: Um, silver lining was that the receptionist was very, very sexy to me.

[51:39] Alison: However, I'm gonna get back.

[51:40] Andrew: Okay.

[51:41] Alison: Um, okay, and so then when I went back this week to see Nancy again, you know what she had the balls to say to me?

[51:48] Andrew: She said to me, it's almost as if another five years have passed with the state of your teeth with the month that went by.

[51:57] Alison: And I'm like, shut up.

[51:59] Andrew: Leave me the fuck alone.

[52:01] Alison: This isn't a roast battle.

[52:02] Andrew: No chill.

[52:03] Alison: No, that is so not okay.

[52:05] Andrew: Do not do not do that.

[52:07] Alison: We're not friends.

[52:08] Andrew: We're not friends like this.

[52:09] Alison: We are not close like that.

[52:10] Andrew: Do not say it.

[52:11] Alison: Anyway, anyway, I'm gonna talk about Glee Project again.

[52:14] Andrew: I'm so Mateus' song, bad choice for him.

[52:16] Alison: McKinley, her voice, so good, but Ryan is right.

[52:20] Andrew: I wish that she had leaned into the twang.

[52:24] Alison: I wish she had really pushed it and like emphasized her personality through her voice like that.

[52:31] Andrew: I know you didn't watch 30 Rock, but there was an episode of 30 Rock where the character Jenna um is cast in a Janice Champlin biopic.

[52:39] Alison: Okay.

[52:40] Andrew: And um, but they can't get the rights to actually say that it's Janice Janice Schoplin.

[52:46] Alison: So she's playing a character called Jackie Jorpchomp.

[52:50] Andrew: Um they can't get the rights for Peace of My Heart either.

[52:56] Alison: And so she has to sing a chunk of my lung.

[52:59] Andrew: Go ahead and have another chunk of my lung now, baby.

[53:03] Alison: And so that's what that's what was on my mind the entire performance.

[53:07] Andrew: That and the fact that it was uh glorified cruise performance.

[53:10] Alison: It was a glorified cruise performance.

[53:12] Andrew: I don't care for that song.

[53:15] Alison: I don't know.

[53:16] Andrew: I like it.

[53:18] Alison: I like the original so much better than what Glee gave us.

[53:20] Andrew: Yeah than what that's sorry, McKinley gave us.

[53:23] Alison: I like we love you.

[53:25] Andrew: We love you huge kiss, but huge kiss.

[53:28] Alison: You know.

[53:29] Andrew: Um they do the performances and then they go back and they're hanging out together talking about it, which is like so toxic.

[53:37] Alison: Holy shit.

[53:38] Andrew: Um and there's a giant couch.

[53:41] Alison: And me, knowing theater kids, knowing 18-year-olds.

[53:47] Andrew: I know they're doobie touching on that couch.

[53:50] Alison: I know they're doobie touching.

[53:52] Andrew: Oh god.

[53:54] Alison: I wasn't even thinking about like the I want to know who touching who, who talking to who, who kissing.

[53:59] Andrew: I want I know they're gotta be kissing, and I want to know who the kisses are given to.

[54:03] Alison: Do you think that we could do like what's it called?

[54:06] Andrew: Like an is it ask FM where it's like anonymously put in.

[54:10] Alison: Anonymously tell us who kissed on the giant couch.

[54:13] Andrew: What if we kissed on the giant couch on the glue project?

[54:18] Alison: I wish we would.

[54:20] Andrew: Um yeah, I I know.

[54:23] Alison: Wait, I I have there's a I just have a two for getting more notes about about these last chance performances.

[54:28] Andrew: I'm so sorry.

[54:28] Alison: Tell me.

[54:29] Andrew: Um Ryan, um Ryan!

[54:32] Alison: Ryan!

[54:33] Andrew: Ryan says to Ellis that he desperately wants someone to be able to sing jazz on this godforsaken redacted show.

[54:39] Alison: Um, and you know what?

[54:41] Andrew: You already have someone, and her name is Diana Agron.

[54:44] Alison: I actually saw her in Cafe Carlisle where she performed jazz numbers and guess what?

[54:51] Andrew: And I was like, wait a minute, wait a minute.

[54:53] Alison: This actually slayed.

[54:55] Andrew: Yeah.

[54:56] Alison: This kind of eight.

[54:57] Andrew: Um also eight, nine, ten.

[55:01] Alison: And um, I completely agree with what Ryan said to Mateus about like being, I guess being able to write for him.

[55:08] Andrew: That like this is a character that does belong on the the hit fuck show redacted.

[55:13] Alison: Yeah that like I could absolutely see him walking his ass down that redacted damn hallway and um it talking to all the redacted characters as well.

[55:23] Andrew: Um honestly so much more compelling than Samuel Larson's inevitable character and Damien McGuinty's inevitable character.

[55:33] Alison: Yes, yes, yeah.

[55:35] Andrew: I want I just I want I want to see the the edit of the redacted show with Mateus as the winner.

[55:42] Alison: Exactly.

[55:43] Andrew: AI that's give AI give it to us, but like only give it to me and Andrew, and we won't share it anywhere.

[55:50] Alison: We just want to watch it.

[55:52] Andrew: We won't make money off of it.

[55:53] Alison: We won't make money off of it.

[55:55] Andrew: No, just for us.

[55:56] Alison: Just for us, please AI.

[55:57] Andrew: I know you're listening.

[55:58] Alison: Please are um and then Marissa has this long giant elephant necklace, which is such a statement piece and so.

[56:08] Andrew: Well, that's where she was. She was at the store buying the health and necklace.

[56:12] Alison: Exactly. That's where she was the entire episode is finding the elephant necklace. And I definitely had a necklace exactly like that from Forever 21. Um, I thought I was the baddest bitch. Um, and that's the last time I ever wore jewelry.

[56:20] Andrew: So really?

[56:26] Alison: I guess I've never noticed that you don't wear jewelry.

[56:28] Andrew: I don't wear rings, I don't wear bracelets, I don't wear necklaces, I don't wear earrings.

[56:32] Alison: I have my ears pierced, but I like don't do it.

[56:35] Andrew: You don't play by those rules.

[56:36] Alison: I don't play by those rules. They're just icky to me.

[56:40] Andrew: They're just icky to me.

[56:41] Alison: Um, not icky on other people. Icky to me, like I don't I don't like the texture of it on my hands. Because I'm a fidgeter. I've literally Alice in a la mode. I know that you're in the chat. I've been fidgeting with this little how to succeed in business without really trying. Like that's good. All I do is I sit here and I fidget with it because and I've I'm like, I'm just I'm just touching it because I just like and I put it on my mouth. Shout out to Alice and shout out to Alice in a la mode. Go check out the Etsy shop. Go, I fucking love you so much.

[57:13] Andrew: Anyways, um, but I have to fidget, so that's why I don't wear uh jewelry.

[57:18] Alison: Anyways.

[57:20] Andrew: Um, so we realize that um it's Ellis's week to go home.

[57:30] Alison: Oh.

[57:31] Andrew: Ellis, Ellis is done. Um, and I realized it is poignant in this episode to me.

[57:41] Alison: Oh god, I dropped I dropped Darren Chris. Let me pick him up. Come here, Darren. He belongs to me. Come here, J Pierpont Finch. Come here.

[57:47] Andrew: Come on. I'm trying to pick it up with my foot.

[57:52] Alison: Oh, I was wondering what you're doing because I could see both hands.

[57:54] Andrew: No, I'm like trying to grab it with my toes.

[57:58] Alison: Okay. Foot play for Darren.

[57:59] Andrew: Flip play. Let the dogs out for Darren.

[58:02] Alison: Let the dogs out. Um this is up. Go take a look. Ellis didn't. This is going she's gone home. Very poignant that they recorded all of the keep holding ons at the beginning of the series.

[58:18] Andrew: Okay, literally, this is a fact that I refuse to store anywhere in my brain.

[58:27] Alison: Wait, do we know that for a fact that this is they all recorded all of their keep holding ons at the beginning?

[58:33] Andrew: And then they recorded. Fucking somebody who was literally in on our fucking podcast. I don't know if it was McKay McKinley or Lindsay or um Harper. But somebody, I think maybe it was Harper or Abraham. They recorded the other thing. They recorded them at the beginning of the series.

[58:53] Alison: Wait, because the Abraham.

[58:55] Andrew: Wait, Abraham with the um hair.

[58:58] Alison: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[58:59] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[59:02] Andrew: Yeah.

[59:03] Alison: Yeah. Hmm. I had the same note because I okay.

[59:06] Andrew: Okay. Thank you for sharing this information that I must have known at one point in time. Um, I did. I was part of that conversation, I'm sure.

[59:13] Alison: You were there.

[59:13] Andrew: I was. I'm pretty sure. Um just one of those late night calls where me and Lily Mae just like keep talking until midnight and then you hang up, Lily Mae. She's like, no, no, no. I have one more, I have one more Glee Project fact to share with you. I just wanted to tell you that I'll keep holding on to your filmed at the beginning of the series. It's like, oh my god. Thank you for sharing. Good night. I love you so much.

[59:37] Alison: Um, yeah, okay, because I had the same thought because I was like, okay, wait. I feel like we're like digressing a little bit, Ellis. Like this is the one.

[59:43] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[59:43] Alison: Like, this is the this is the Ellis I knew one episode ago.

[59:51] Andrew: Exactly.

[59:52] Alison: Not the grown advanced Ellis that I've come to know.

[59:57] Andrew: Big girl.

[59:58] Alison: The big girl. Not no longer a little girl. She's a big kid now.

[1:00:01] Andrew: Um.

[1:00:04] Alison: So yeah, that was theatricality. Um, do you have any remaining notes as I pull up our spinning wheel of death?

[1:00:12] Andrew: No, I just unfortunately I know that like Big Spender was big spend in all last episode, and we loved it. Unfortunately, Ellis, these two performances were were not. I think it's a hard hard to beat a big spender.

[1:00:28] Alison: Yes.

[1:00:30] Andrew: Gives you hell.

[1:00:32] Alison: Bad romance. Um, what's the Janice Joplin?

[1:00:35] Andrew: We're oh, um, uh Peace of My Heart.

[1:00:35] Alison: Peace of my heart.

[1:00:40] Andrew: We're not gonna take it.

[1:00:42] Alison: And keep holding on.

[1:00:45] Andrew: The Ellis version.

[1:00:47] Alison: Okay, let's do this.

[1:00:48] Andrew: Let's do this. I'll be so honest, I'm not rooting for really any of these.

[1:00:54] Alison: But we'll see.

[1:00:55] Andrew: Okay, so our first song is Gives You Hell versus Which I liked.

[1:01:00] Alison: I liked Gives You Hell.

[1:01:01] Andrew: Keep holding on Ellis version. I'm saying, oh god, I hate both of them.

[1:01:06] Alison: Gives you hell.

[1:01:07] Andrew: Gives you hell for me as well. The keep holding on was a live left a lot to be desired for me.

[1:01:14] Alison: Gives you hell versus.

[1:01:17] Andrew: We're not gonna take it.

[1:01:19] Alison: We're not gonna take it.

[1:01:22] Andrew: Ooh.

[1:01:24] Alison: I liked gives you it gives you hell had a lot of personality.

[1:01:27] Andrew: I'm going gives you hell, so we're gonna have to do a little vote vote.

[1:01:29] Alison: Okay, votey votes. Tell us what you think.

[1:01:33] Andrew: Gives you hell or we're not gonna take it.

[1:01:35] Alison: Oh okay.

[1:01:36] Andrew: Joe is choosing hell.

[1:01:38] Alison: Um we've got three for we're not gonna take it.

[1:06:59] Alison: Like, oh, I couldn't possibly do that.

[1:07:02] Andrew: I couldn't, I couldn't possibly have a lot of things.

[1:07:53] Andrew: A lot of like What does that mean?

[1:07:54] Alison: Can you can you do the root?

[1:07:56] Andrew: It it me I think it means just like old timey talking.

[1:08:01] Alison: Like not it's the bridge between I think modern American accents and British English.
