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

[0:09] Allison: There's no one reason to it, so don't get mud on me.

[0:16] Andrew: We got Andrew and Allison who are on the show of the Gleek of the Week, who's the head of the show.

[0:26] Allison: Glack it by Glackett.

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

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

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

[0:37] Allison: Glick gleak gleak of the wink.

[0:41] Andrew: It's Gleek, Gleak of the Wink.

[0:44] Allison: What you say.

[0:47] Andrew: That's only a man.

[0:50] Allison: That's you only that—oh, you're going different.

[0:56] Andrew: Well, of course you did.

[0:58] Allison: What you say that you wanted that way.

[1:01] Andrew: Well, of course you did.

[1:02] Allison: Is that like the, um, what is that?

[1:04] Andrew: That's like the Imogen Heap?

[1:07] Allison: Imogen Heap, but I'm thinking Jason Derulo.

[1:11] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:12] Allison: The famous sample of the Imogen Heap song.

[1:15] Andrew: Right, right, right.

[1:16] Allison: Yeah.

[1:16] Andrew: Made famous by, uh, The OC and then the "Dear Sister" SNL.

[1:22] Allison: The "Dear Sister." What was the "Dear Sister" bit?

[1:26] Andrew: Well, did you watch The OC?

[1:28] Allison: No.

[1:29] Andrew: So there's a scene in The OC where, uh, Marissa has come back to Marissa.

[1:39] Allison: Not the same one.

[1:40] Andrew: Not the same one.

[1:41] Allison: Not the same, uh, person that came to the lead up.

[1:43] Andrew: She's in—oh no, I'm talking about, um, well there's also a Marissa from the Glee Project, but there's also—there's also Marissa in Benoist.

[1:53] Allison: Marissa Benoist?

[1:55] Andrew: I'm talking—oh!

[1:56] Allison: You're talking about the Glee Project.

[1:59] Andrew: What we came here to worship.

[2:03] Allison: Oh, I shouldn't even tell you about The OC.

[2:05] Andrew: Anyways, redacted, redacted, redacted.

[2:08] Allison: There's a scene where a person walks into an apartment and there's a physical altercation and guns come out, and, um, it's very, very dramatic, and the Imogen Heap song plays in the background, and SNL spoofed it.

[2:25] Andrew: Can we talk about SNL?

[2:27] Allison: No.

[2:28] Andrew: Fuck, that's scripted.

[2:29] Allison: That's scripted, and there's actors.

[2:30] Andrew: And there's actors.

[2:32] Allison: Double wham.

[2:32] Andrew: Um, double whammy.

[2:34] Allison: I will say that I did feel validated the other day while watching a video podcast of Idina Menzel, and Idina Menzel referenced, um, what movie did she?

[2:46] Andrew: I forget now what movie she referenced.

[2:50] Allison: But the "Not Invited to My Bar Mitzvah?"

[2:50] Andrew: Bar Mitzvah.

[2:54] Allison: No, not that one. Did you watch?

[2:56] Andrew: Oh fuck, you can't talk about that.

[2:57] Allison: Why would she willingly bring that up?

[3:00] Andrew: Redacted, redacted, redacted.

[3:02] Allison: You're not invited to my redacted.

[3:04] Andrew: And so she brought up a movie and she was just like, I felt like redacted and redacted.

[3:12] Allison: It's a good thing that I don't know what it is because I can't even reference it.

[3:15] Andrew: Right.

[3:15] Allison: Um, and she actually did say the redacted thing, and she was like, oh gosh, I can't say that.

[3:22] Andrew: And then you could—I could see the look in her eyes after, and she was like, am I gonna be shot now?

[3:29] Allison: Like, yeah, I'm—like, if Idina Menzel, if the wickedly talented one and only Adele Dazeem is in the same boat as us.

[3:31] Andrew: As us.

[3:40] Allison: I feel seen.

[3:41] Andrew: I feel, uh, held.

[3:43] Allison: Me too.

[3:44] Andrew: I feel held.

[3:45] Allison: I feel touched.

[3:46] Andrew: I feel touched.

[3:47] Allison: Um, anyway.

[3:49] Andrew: Yeah, it's really hard out here not talking about redacted content, obviously.

[3:53] Allison: Here we are.

[3:54] Andrew: But you know where we could talk about it?

[3:56] Allison: Was at the Glee-up.

[3:58] Andrew: I know.

[3:58] Allison: Because nobody was recording us.

[4:00] Andrew: No one was.

[4:01] Allison: And if you were—

[4:03] Andrew: Don't do it.

[4:04] Allison: I—I listen, please delete the tapes.

[4:04] Andrew: Delete the tapes.

[4:10] Allison: It was so fun.

[4:11] Andrew: It was a beautiful, um, sunny day in New York City.

[4:15] Allison: It was honestly a little bit too hot.

[4:17] Andrew: I came home and it was like 70 degrees.

[4:20] Allison: I was like, this is perfect end of August weather, whereas New York is hot as balls.

[4:26] Andrew: But, um, we had a couple blankets in Central Park.

[4:31] Allison: And thank you to Cassie, Amanda, Zach, Kaylee, Kristen.

[4:42] Andrew: She's not looking at a list.

[4:43] Allison: Audio medium not looking at a list.

[4:46] Andrew: Abby, Hunter, Ian, and Marissa.

[4:53] Allison: Are we missing?

[4:54] Andrew: I don't, I think that's it.

[4:56] Allison: I will implode if I realize that we do.

[5:01] Andrew: You're particularly—

[5:02] Allison: We did miss someone, though.

[5:04] Andrew: Um, yeah, but also special shout-out, shout-out, not to—this is like a me brag, but like also—

[5:04] Allison: What did you do?

[5:13] Andrew: No, not me, but also us.

[5:13] Um, the fact that Kristen came all the way from goddamn Utah.

[5:19] Allison: Utah!

[5:20] Andrew: People flew in for the Glee-up.

[5:21] Allison: So I'm just saying.

[5:22] Andrew: I deeply appreciate that.

[5:23] Allison: That is amazing.

[5:25] Andrew: Listeners, you think that you're doing a lot, and you think that you're showing up for us.

[5:30] Allison: But are you flying to New York City?

[5:33] Andrew: Wait a minute.

[5:34] Allison: Kristen is.

[5:35] Andrew: Kristen is.

[5:37] Allison: How about the rest of y'all?

[5:39] Andrew: Yeah, where are you?

[5:40] Allison: So weird.

[5:41] Andrew: I was like, where are the millions upon billions of the rest of y'all?

[5:41] Allison: The millions upon billions of Gleeks that listen to this podcast every day.

[5:50] Andrew: It's really weird.

[5:51] Allison: Um, it was very fun.

[5:54] Andrew: There were Glee-themed snacks, there were Cheerios, there were Kurt Hummus, there were Lucky Charms, but it's just the marshmallow bits.

[6:04] Allison: Um, can we even talk about it?

[6:08] Andrew: Is that—are snacks redacted?

[6:11] Allison: Re-snacked.

[6:12] Andrew: No, I'm just saying snacks that I like.

[6:14] Allison: We're snacked.

[6:15] Andrew: Yeah, some were snacted snacks, and it was really, really fun to just finally just relax and be with the Gleeks.

[6:15] Allison: Be with the Gleeks and talk about redacted content without the WGA and SAG breathing down our necks.

[6:37] Andrew: Or the people that are not giving them proper wages.

[6:41] Allison: Honestly, mostly them.

[6:44] Andrew: Mostly them.

[6:44] Allison: Yeah.

[6:45] Andrew: Um, honestly.

[6:46] Allison: It was very fun.

[6:48] Andrew: It was, um, hot and sweaty and really nice, and, uh, everybody was great.

[6:52] Allison: And I gave everybody a big fat kiss.

[6:55] Andrew: That's a lie.

[6:56] Allison: That is—why would you be there?

[6:59] Andrew: I gave them a little coupon for an extra kiss when I do my Patreon couple.

[6:59] Allison: An extra kiss.

[7:04] Andrew: Yeah.

[7:05] Allison: Cute.

[7:06] Andrew: You gotta come to the Glee-up to get a kiss coupon.

[7:08] Allison: Kiss coupons only at the Glee-up.

[7:10] Andrew: Kristen flew out for her kiss coupon.

[7:12] Allison: Yeah, for the kiss coupon.

[7:14] Andrew: Come on.

[7:15] Allison: Kiss Pon.

[7:15] Andrew: Kiss Pon?

[7:16] Allison: Kiss Pon.

[7:17] Andrew: Did that work?

[7:18] Allison: No.

[7:18] Andrew: Anything else that you want to discuss before we—or before we goddamn delve into this reality television unstruck work review?

[7:28] Allison: How are we feeling about The Glee Project as a whole?

[7:32] Andrew: Um, this episode, I will say, I, um, I shared with you before we started recording.

[7:38] Allison: I like to watch these episodes twice.

[7:41] Andrew: Um, one the day before we record, and those typically happen to be like very late hours for me.

[7:50] Allison: Where it's like last thing I do before I go to bed, and, um, and then I like to watch it again while taking notes directly before we start recording.

[8:00] Andrew: Um, I had a goddamn great time last night watching this episode, and, um, I don't know.

[8:07] Allison: For some reason, watching this episode back again today, I was like, I don't know.

[8:11] Andrew: The glitz and glamour was kind of—the haze was lifted, you know?

[8:16] Allison: Mm-hmm.

[8:16] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[8:17] Allison: Like, oh, right.

[8:19] Andrew: Oh, great.

[8:19] Allison: Like you wake up and you see Mateus has a breakdown.

[8:23] Andrew: You wake up and see Glee Project's season one episode four next to you laying in bed, and you're like, oh.

[8:28] Allison: What did I do last week?

[8:29] Andrew: What happened?

[8:30] Allison: Did we have sex?

[8:34] Andrew: Did we have sex with Glee Project episode four of season one?

[8:39] Allison: I really hope I didn't, because I would regret that.

[8:45] Andrew: Oh god, I don't know if I want to spend the rest of my life with Glee Project season one episode four.

[8:51] Allison: Yeah, you'd have to.

[8:52] Andrew: What will my family think?

[8:54] Allison: Oh, you're gonna have to get married.

[8:56] Andrew: I—she's pregnant.

[8:58] Allison: She's pregnant.

[9:02] Andrew: What will we danceability at our wedding to?

[9:06] Allison: Exactly.

[9:07] Andrew: Move it, move it, I think, from Madagascar.

[9:10] Allison: I think it would have to be "You Can't Touch This" from the episode.

[9:14] Andrew: That too.

[9:15] Allison: Because that's their culture, you know?

[9:17] Andrew: And I'm like, I don't think I like this, but, um, "You Can't Touch This."

[9:24] Allison: Um, but not to say that like I—I say that and I'm like, okay, everyone's like, wait a minute, I'm turning the episode off.

[9:31] Andrew: Why should I bother listening to this episode if they don't have anything fun to say?

[9:35] Allison: I will say I—I took two full fucking pages of notes, and I'm looking at them now, and a lot of them are really hilarious, so stay tuned.

[9:45] Andrew: Alright.

[9:46] Allison: Wait, what would your danceability be this week?

[9:50] Andrew: What does danceability mean to you?

[9:52] Allison: What does danceability mean to me?

[9:54] Andrew: I know, I was thinking about that too, and I'm like, I mean, we had like what vulnerability, theatricality, what was the first one?

[10:02] Allison: Individuality.

[10:03] Andrew: Individuality.

[10:03] Allison: And it's like, okay, now we're going into danceability.

[10:06] Andrew: Is that even a word?

[10:07] Allison: I don't know.

[10:07] Andrew: No, it isn't.

[10:08] Allison: They—it's a—it's a, uh, portmanteau.

[10:12] Andrew: A portmanteau.

[10:13] Allison: Which I just taught you about.

[10:14] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[10:15] Allison: You—you Portman taught me about.

[10:17] Andrew: Portmanteau.

[10:19] Allison: Uh, so danceability doesn't mean anything to me because it's not even real.

[10:23] Andrew: Because it's not real.

[10:24] Allison: What's your, um, best dance move?

[10:29] Andrew: It's so funny that you should ask because Hannah does it in this episode.

[10:32] Allison: Really?

[10:33] Andrew: Um, I just like—I felt very seen in "Hey, Soul Sister" when she does the—audio medium.

[10:42] Allison: It's like the finger wag.

[10:43] Andrew: And I'm like, that's so—that's so me coded.

[10:47] Allison: Um, I just really loved it.

[10:49] Andrew: What is your go-to dance danceability dance?

[10:53] Allison: Um, I think mine's like a sidestep, like kind of like a polka, but it's by yourself.

[10:59] Andrew: Yeah.

[10:59] Allison: And then you're also like doing it in a circle.

[11:03] Andrew: Um, have you seen the karma dance on TikTok to Taylor Swift's "Karma"?

[11:08] Allison: How do you dance the karma?

[11:10] Andrew: I keep my side on the street clean.

[11:15] Allison: Um, she's like sidestepping, and then during—you wouldn't know what I mean.

[11:21] Andrew: She's kind of doing a sidestep in a circle while shaking her ass.

[11:24] Allison: That's my personal favorite dance move for me to do.

[11:28] Andrew: Wait, so have you—I cannot dance?

[11:30] Allison: So famously the song "Karma" came out this year.

[11:35] Andrew: So have you not—have you been doing this song?

[11:39] Allison: Okay, alright.

[11:40] Andrew: Fuck me.

[11:41] Allison: Um, but the dance came out this year, and I have been doing it.

[11:45] Andrew: Not live on TikTok, but in my life.

[11:48] Allison: So have you been doing this song?

[11:51] Andrew: Have you been doing this dance in public for this?

[11:54] Allison: Like, have you been like, oh, like I feel singing when the music video came out?

[11:57] Andrew: I guess like the sidestep I've been doing at weddings.

[12:02] Allison: You can't keep me off a dance floor at a wedding.

[12:04] Andrew: I cannot, uh, sing or dance to save my life, but I do love sidestepping it up on a wedding dance floor.

[12:12] Allison: Um, what were you doing?

[12:14] Andrew: And I do the like white woman dancing, Scarlett Johansson marriage story.

[12:18] Allison: Right, right, right.

[12:19] Andrew: I do a lot of that.

[12:20] Allison: Completely just losing yourself in the music.

[12:23] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[12:24] Allison: Going to another plane of existence.

[12:26] Andrew: That's lit.

[12:27] Allison: I literally just texted that.

[12:29] Andrew: Like I texted Paige.

[12:30] Allison: I was like, I'm on a different existential plane right now.

[12:34] Andrew: Wow.

[12:34] Allison: We're both on that same plane together.

[12:36] Andrew: Together.

[12:37] Allison: It's a JetBlue flight.

[12:39] Andrew: It's a JetBlue flight.

[12:40] Allison: Oh, that's—that's struck work.

[12:43] Andrew: That is, we all flew here on JetBlue.

[12:45] Allison: Thank you.

[12:46] Andrew: Thank you.

[12:47] Allison: Thank you.

[12:48] Andrew: Um, what were your—because we have some time to kill?

[12:52] Allison: I'm enjoying this conversation.

[12:54] Andrew: Just let's everybody say sausage to keep it going.

[12:58] Allison: Um, what were your dances?

[13:01] Andrew: Because you did not go to your prom.

[13:04] Allison: No, I didn't go to prom.

[13:05] Andrew: Okay.

[13:06] Allison: Did you go to any dances?

[13:07] Andrew: Um, I went to homecoming a couple times.

[13:10] Allison: Homecoming is really—can I say homecoming is really you coded.

[13:15] Andrew: Like, I don't associate you with the major dances.

[13:17] Allison: You're going to general—general dance.

[13:21] Andrew: Capital D trademark.

[13:24] Allison: Right.

[13:25] Andrew: At the beginning of the—yeah, because homecoming is always at the beginning of the year.

[13:27] Allison: I'm dumb major tonas.

[13:29] Andrew: There was a welcome back dance, which would be like the first week of school.

[13:36] Allison: There would be a dance.

[13:38] Andrew: Um, but I don't—not a ton of people went to it.

[13:41] Allison: It was usually just freshmen and it was just horny kids who wanted to rub their crotches against each other.

[13:47] Andrew: I—I had a really bad experience at my freshman welcome dance.

[13:52] Allison: It was like the same vibe.

[13:53] Andrew: Are you saying that that—that was open, that was a general, uh, open to the school public?

[14:01] Allison: Like anybody of all grades could go.

[14:03] Andrew: Yeah.

[14:03] Allison: Yeah.

[14:04] Andrew: Same with homecoming.

[14:06] Allison: Any of all from all grades.

[14:07] Andrew: But prom was just juniors and seniors.

[14:10] Allison: So we had—so we had homecoming every year, all four years of high school.

[14:15] Andrew: And then we had a dance that was specific to each grade each year.

[14:20] Allison: So we had freshman welcome dance, which actually took place like at the end of the first week of freshman year.

[14:28] Andrew: And then we had sophomocatillion, junior prom, and then senior prom.

[14:32] Allison: And, um, I remember—I—I was about to say his last name.

[14:37] Andrew: I'll just say Luke.

[14:39] Allison: Luke, you know who you are.

[14:41] Andrew: Luke came up to me at the freshman welcome dance as like everybody else, everybody and their goddamn mother is in a grind line, and they're all grinding up on each other.

[14:51] Andrew: And um Luke came up to me and he asked a very um uh targeted question to me. He said, If I was a hot girl, would you grind on me? And I was like, I don't really want to be here generally, so no. Like no. Um, and I was like, hmm, I knew exactly why you're asking that. Why you asked that? Interesting. Interesting. Do you want me to grind on you, Luke? I don't think you do. Because I'm a bad grinder. Yeah, I don't grind on purpose. Um I've never I don't think I've ever ground.

[15:30] Allison: I have you've grown.

[15:32] Andrew: Yeah. Um, I'm not proud of it. I'm not proud of the things I ground, you know what I mean? Um that's not your danceability dance.

[15:38] Allison: That's not my danceability dance.

[15:40] Andrew: There was welcome back dance. There is homecoming in the winter, there would be Sadie Hawkins, but Sadie Hawkins didn't last very long. I wish I could nobody went. Um which I just think is a symbol of the patriarchy.

[15:55] Allison: Let's be real. Did you oh a dance where the girls have to ask the guys and it fails? Classic patriarchy.

[16:02] Andrew: Okay. Um taking notes. And then there was prom.

[16:07] Allison: Prom heard of it.

[16:09] Andrew: Prom in um wait, did you attempt asking anybody to Sadie Hawkins?

[16:15] Allison: No. It ended, like I think there was a Sadie Hawkins, my freshman, and I'm so glad because I would have done something embarrassing.

[16:23] Andrew: Did you definitely won't understand this? Did you go to like a rollerblade rink as a kid?

[16:30] Allison: I mean, yeah. Like there was like a number of like birthday parties.

[16:34] Andrew: Are you saying that you're assuming that I don't understand the concept of rollerblading?

[16:39] Allison: No. There was something at the local roller rink called a snowball.

[16:45] Andrew: And what it was is all the boys would be on one side of the rink and all the girls would be on the other.

[16:50] Allison: I've never been to this.

[16:51] Andrew: And they'd they'd call it out like, okay, girls, go to the other side of the rink and choose a guy to roll around the rink with him.

[17:00] Allison: And wait, can I ask a question? If the girl, whoever the girl chooses, that like you can't say no to the girl.

[17:07] Andrew: Can you?

[17:07] Allison: No, you can say no. Consent goes both ways.

[17:10] Andrew: Okay. Alright, I'm just making sure. Just want to have my my eyes dotted, my T's crossed when it comes to consent.

[17:19] Allison: I genuinely think the only time I ever was pulled for the snowball, because me and these other girls, like and my girlfriends, we were never chosen for the snowball.

[17:28] Andrew: We would all just like hold hands with each other when no boys came to the children.

[17:31] Allison: You were just too sexy.

[17:33] Andrew: We were too pretty, too intimidating, and even young boys were scared of it. Come on.

[17:38] Allison: Um, not for any other reason. Um, but uh the one time I was chosen, I think I was like in daycare.

[17:47] Andrew: What?

[17:47] Allison: Like I was I was very, very young, and I was there with my daycare, and like one of the older kids who was just like a nice boy came up to me and held my hand and we were went around in a circle.

[18:01] Andrew: But where is he now?

[18:03] Allison: To my point, I don't know. I don't even really know what his name is, but I can see him in my mind's eye.

[18:08] Andrew: Anyways, if you're out there. Um there was a girl that I went to when I was like fifth grade going into sixth grade. I went to overnight camp, and at the end of Overnight Camp, the boys' camp and the girls' camp had like a dance on a tennis court.

[18:24] Allison: And I just remember that was the same summer that the movie Cars came out.

[18:28] Andrew: And I remember um that I think I want to fact check this because I think that the girl who asked me out to dance, like she told all of my friends, like, ooh, that guy over there is like really sexy sexy.

[18:42] Allison: She did not use the word sexy sexy, but sexy sexy.

[18:45] Andrew: But she um okay. Her name, I just fact-checked it because it was also a name of a car from cars, not even a car, actually, but like um what they use to pave the roads.

[18:58] Allison: Um that was I don't know.

[19:01] Andrew: Her name was Bessie.

[19:03] Allison: Oh Bessie.

[19:06] Andrew: Bessie. I'm like, who the hell is naming children Bessie?

[19:12] Allison: Bessie, who looks at a freshly, freshly pooped out baby. And that's Bessie.

[19:15] Andrew: And is like, this is Bessie.

[19:18] Allison: Yeah, it's Bessie. A Bessie and a Tessie.

[19:20] Andrew: Um, and I remember telling my grandfather who um who has now been dead for 13 years, but he was like on like on his way out, and he didn't talk hardly ever. And I told him this story uh of Bessie asking me to dance, and he got a real kick out of it that this girl's name was Bessie.

[19:43] Allison: So that's sense memory for you.

[19:46] Andrew: I don't know why I told that entire story.

[19:50] Allison: That's so good.

[19:51] Andrew: I'll always think of Bessie when I'm at a tennis court dancing.

[19:55] Allison: Bessie, yeah.

[19:56] Andrew: Um when I no, my point was with the snow with the snowball and the Sadie Hawkins was that in fifth grade at the end of the year, all of the bus patrols went to uh this roller rank.

[20:12] Allison: And during the snowball, I was like gonna ask my crush You can say the name.

[20:18] Andrew: No, I'm not gonna say it.

[20:19] Allison: He's not a listener of the podcast.

[20:21] Andrew: The crush is gone. Can we just say general, please?

[20:24] Allison: Kyle.

[20:25] Andrew: My crush.

[20:26] Allison: Kyle.

[20:28] Andrew: Um, I he I went up to him after the snowball, like as we were leaving the roller rink, and I was like, I was gonna ask you to like, I was gonna ask you during snowball to like snowball with me.

[20:43] Allison: And he was like, I don't know what to do with this information.

[20:46] Andrew: And I walked away.

[20:48] Allison: Wow.

[20:49] Andrew: And I was like, okay, well.

[20:51] Allison: At least he's honest.

[20:53] Andrew: At least he was honest, and that's why for Sadie Hawkins, I definitely would have asked somebody out and they would have said no, and I would have that would have been like a canon event in my childhood.

[21:01] Allison: Can an event.

[21:02] Andrew: So I'm very glad that Sadie Hawkins did not exist later on.

[21:07] Allison: I will say that like everything from like middle school to high school, and even into some of college, everything felt very another glee project theme.

[21:19] Andrew: Theatrical.

[21:20] Allison: Yes. You know what I mean?

[21:21] Andrew: Like everything that was done was in front of a camera, in front of an audience.

[21:27] Allison: It felt like um the whole world was watching.

[21:31] Andrew: And um, and honestly, some things were kind of hilarious in hindsight.

[21:36] Allison: Yeah, honestly, things were hilarious, and nobody was paying attention to me.

[21:39] Andrew: Why the fuck did I care so much about this, this, and that?

[21:43] Allison: That's true.

[21:45] Andrew: Did anybody ask you to dance?

[21:48] Allison: My final question before I let you go. Um did anybody ask you to dance at the SVA pre-college prom.

[21:59] Andrew: I think you did.

[22:01] Allison: Did I?

[22:02] Andrew: Or maybe Adriana did, or maybe Lucas.

[22:04] Allison: That wasn't a leading quest because I don't know.

[22:06] Andrew: I blacked out that night.

[22:07] Allison: No, I didn't.

[22:08] Andrew: Um We blacked out off of milk.

[22:10] Allison: Milk.

[22:11] Andrew: Were we drinking milk then?

[22:13] Allison: I think we were drinking milk.

[22:14] Andrew: I think I have a photo of me in the like prom outfit that I wore, which was jeans and a sweatshirt.

[22:20] Allison: That seems like something I had milk in my hand.

[22:24] Andrew: That I would do at 17 years old to be hilarious, you know.

[22:29] Allison: Be like, haha, milk.

[22:31] Andrew: I think we were just jamming it up.

[22:33] Allison: I don't think there was like a slow dance at SVA Pre-college prom.

[22:36] Andrew: There might have been, actually.

[22:38] Allison: I just remember that I, much like a redacted character from redacted series that we may or may not have watched and regularly talked about prior to the strike.

[22:48] Andrew: I um really campaigned for um prom queen or king.

[22:53] Allison: I don't care, I'll take either, for SVA pre-college Prom.

[22:57] Andrew: And then I get there and I'm like wait a minute there is no prom king or queen and then of course the pre-college workers um bless them they were like okay cut the music we would love to crown Andrew McGuire prom something from royalty just general do you remember that I do not remember that at all do you remember me campaigning because I remember like maybe like the week but that is your bit that's a good it's a good bit and I borrowed it from a really popular character from redacted series.

[23:35] Allison: I remember like going to like the cafeteria the cafeteria cafe that we would have um breakfast at each morning so that entire week I just like I remember like walking around like before we left and just being like hi when it does come time to vote for prom king or queen prom king at SVH remember my name and the time never came wild I do not remember that at all I barely I mean I don't even I can remember being in the SVA pre-college basement of New Res and like it being a little bit dark.

[24:12] Andrew: Yeah um and I remember a blow up I remember a photo of a blow up um palm tree in the background we have the pictures and they will go in the carousel these are really good pictures they will these are really good photos these are this these are funny this space this will be a great carousel this week this is a good one.

[24:31] Allison: This is a great idea.

[24:32] Andrew: There's like there's a number of photos that we have of that night.

[24:36] Allison: There, it's I will have to find them somewhere.

[24:39] Andrew: I had like red brown hair.

[24:41] Allison: I had weird hair back then.

[24:44] Andrew: It was sexy.

[24:45] Allison: It was really sexy.

[24:46] Andrew: I've never been as hot as I was when I was 17 living in New York City by myself.

[24:53] Allison: Ten years later, 10 years later, it's only gotten worse.

[24:56] Andrew: I've had a glow down.

[24:57] Allison: Glow down, glow down.

[24:58] Andrew: Okay, now everyone's waiting in the waiting room, so we gotta go.

[25:06] Allison: Dance a dance it dance a dance a dance uh dance a dance a dance a dance a dance ability.

[25:11] Andrew: Oh, why don't you move that microphone a little bit closer to you, I think.

[25:15] Allison: Yeah, yeah.

[25:16] Andrew: One more time.

[25:17] Allison: Okay, do it again.

[25:18] Andrew: Could you hear me okay during the intro?

[25:20] Allison: It was okay, but this is better.

[25:22] Andrew: I know, but I'm afraid that I'm too loud.

[25:24] Allison: So that you're asking for it.

[25:26] Andrew: Dance it, dance it, dance it, dance it, dance it, dance it, dance it, dance it, dance it, dance it ability.

[25:31] Allison: It's almost like oh, we can actually talk about I found out today.

[25:35] Andrew: We could talk about cartoons.

[25:37] Allison: Oh.

[25:40] Andrew: That did sound like a cartoon intro.

[25:42] Allison: It's Danny Phantom.

[25:44] Andrew: Oh, okay.

[25:46] Allison: Yeah, I found out today that like woman that I work with, she is like, hey, I just like booked a video game voice acting role.

[25:55] Andrew: And I'm like, huh?

[25:57] Allison: Can you do that?

[25:58] Andrew: And she's like, yeah, that's okay.

[25:59] Allison: And I'm like, what?

[26:00] Andrew: So she's like that and cartoons.

[26:03] Allison: And cartoons are okay.

[26:04] Andrew: Why don't we have a SpongeBob podcast?

[26:07] Allison: Let's just shift.

[26:09] Andrew: Anyway, now let's let's wrap up with this.

[26:13] Allison: Okay, let's talk about Glee Project episode four of season one, danceability.

[26:17] Andrew: I my first note is I want details on who does the recap voice.

[26:24] Allison: Ooh, that's just on Glee.

[26:26] Andrew: I want to meet him.

[26:28] Allison: I know that that's I unless I'm wildly mistaken.

[26:33] Andrew: I know that is King Ian Brennan.

[26:35] Allison: Really?

[26:36] Andrew: On the regular redacted episodes.

[26:38] Allison: That would make sense.

[26:41] Andrew: Um, but I don't know who's doing I'm gonna need to do a cross-analyze.

[26:47] Allison: I think Dive.

[26:48] Andrew: It is Ian, yes, says Allison.

[26:51] Allison: Okay.

[26:52] Andrew: Okay.

[26:53] Allison: Yeah.

[26:54] Andrew: And he and he played.

[26:55] Allison: He was the vampire judge.

[26:57] Andrew: He in the redacted show.

[26:58] Allison: In the redacted show.

[26:59] Andrew: I did know that.

[27:00] Allison: I love that.

[27:01] Andrew: Um so the homework assignment this week is Hey Soul Sister.

[27:05] Allison: They find out that the theme is danceability.

[27:09] Andrew: Um I loved Hannah being. This should be a contender on the Glackett project of her going, I'm screwed.

[27:20] Allison: I thought that was hilarious.

[27:21] Andrew: I was like, okay, this is the peak early on in the episode. Does Hey Soul Sister strike you as a very dancey song?

[27:29] Allison: I thought the same thing.

[27:30] Andrew: I was like, huh, this is interesting.

[27:33] Allison: It feels very glee project coded, I'll say that.

[27:36] Andrew: Right. Like, obviously, they're gonna do this for a homework assignment.

[27:40] Allison: Yeah.

[27:40] Andrew: And maybe they were just like, well, we don't have anywhere else to put Hey Soul Sister this season, so let's put it on danceability.

[27:48] Allison: Um I don't know.

[27:51] Andrew: Yeah, I it struck me as a very weird choice for the theme.

[27:54] Allison: Yeah, very weird to me.

[27:57] Andrew: Also, Samuel talks about how he's in a band.

[28:01] Allison: Samuel Band Reveal.

[28:02] Andrew: Yeah.

[28:03] Allison: Samuel Band Reveal, Samuel Band Reveal.

[28:06] Andrew: And I know that he is currently, like, he does shows with a band.

[28:11] Allison: I don't know if his band has a name.

[28:14] Andrew: Um, I'm sure that for marketing purposes, I would really, really hope so.

[28:14] Allison: I would really, really hope that his band has a name.

[28:19] Andrew: Um, but I can't even imagine he's gotta be the lead singer, right?

[28:26] Allison: But I you're looking at me as if I know the answer to this, and I simply don't.

[28:32] Andrew: I simply do not.

[28:33] Allison: I don't either.

[28:35] Andrew: It just felt like it felt like the the same thing as last week, but at a lower scale of Damien being like, yeah, I'm quasi famous.

[28:35] Allison: Like, yeah.

[28:46] Andrew: Like I'm low-key fame.

[28:49] Allison: Like, I don't know, for Samuel to be like, I'm in a band. I was like, wait a minute, what?

[28:53] Andrew: What?

[28:54] Allison: Um, okay, what the dog doing.

[28:56] Andrew: What is the Samuel doing?

[28:58] Allison: Um, for some reason, when they're revealing the judge.

[29:05] Andrew: No, we're not there yet.

[29:06] Allison: We are at, we need to talk about Smash Cut.

[29:10] Andrew: Alex is directing their rehearsal for Hey Soul Sister.

[29:16] Allison: And I'm like, I feel like this could have been a good conversation to have that was included in the episode of Alex being like, hey, um, I'm going to be directing y'all. I know that like I'm the same level as y'all, but um here I am directing you.

[29:33] Andrew: What did you think?

[29:34] Allison: Uh that I think that is just kind of the theme of this episode.

[29:38] Andrew: Like it's a good little preview of what the entire episode is gonna be like.

[29:42] Allison: Oh, yeah.

[29:43] Andrew: Because this is an Alex heavy episode.

[29:46] Allison: Alex is very Abbey Lee Millering.

[29:49] Andrew: I never watched Dance Moms, not struck work.

[29:53] Allison: Um, have you struck work, reality show?

[29:55] Andrew: I have watched Dance Moms.

[29:56] Allison: Okay, so explain.

[29:58] Andrew: I understand like the bits and pieces of what makes up an Abby Lee Miller, but please.

[30:02] Allison: Abby Lee Millering is directing, it's like a coach.

[30:08] Andrew: But a coach that can't actually do the sport.

[30:12] Allison: Just like s yells at you and says, do this better.

[30:17] Andrew: Why are you not doing this better?

[30:18] Allison: And the moms are like, Abby, you literally can't do the dance either.

[30:22] Andrew: So what are you doing?

[30:24] Allison: What are you doing?

[30:25] Andrew: Does Abbey Lee Miller have a past that we can look up on YouTube of like dancing?

[30:32] Allison: She must.

[30:33] Andrew: Because otherwise, why would she have a giant giant show?

[30:36] Allison: Which was also on Oxygen, I believe.

[30:38] Andrew: Okay.

[30:39] Allison: Um, or maybe TLC.

[30:41] Andrew: I think TLC sounds right to me.

[30:43] Allison: Yeah, that sounds better.

[30:45] Andrew: Um, why would she have a giant show in a giant corporation?

[30:50] Allison: If she didn't have a dance background.

[30:52] Andrew: But she uh yeah, she'd never like she didn't actually dance in the show, and there's a contention um amongst the moms for a little bit of like Abby, you can't even do this.

[31:02] Allison: That's why my daughter can't.

[31:04] Andrew: And um, uh, I feel like Alex gets that.

[31:08] Allison: I know that Alex gets a similar note in this episode.

[31:12] Andrew: Which I'm like confused by because like I was like so back and forth with like, okay, obviously there's the talking head of like Alex being like, I'm the best dancer here, which I was like, pause.

[31:22] Allison: Where?

[31:23] Andrew: Wait, what?

[31:24] Allison: Where and I was like, I looked at the entire crew that we have left, and I'm like, I feel like I'm gonna say it.

[31:32] Andrew: Maybe you'll disagree.

[31:33] Allison: I think Samuel and Mateus are both better dancers.

[31:38] Andrew: What do you think?

[31:39] Allison: I would say so.

[31:40] Andrew: Yeah.

[31:41] Allison: They're just more natural.

[31:42] Andrew: Mateus for sure.

[31:44] Allison: Samuel.

[31:45] Andrew: But oh, I have so many points with Mateus this episode.

[31:49] Allison: I'm very excited to get into it.

[31:51] Andrew: But when spoiler alert, Alex wins the damn reality television series that we're watching.

[31:57] Allison: At least like he gets two episodes.

[31:59] Andrew: And his first performance that we see on this struck work show, baby boy is dancing down.

[32:05] Allison: The entire performance that he does is based around dancing.

[32:11] Andrew: And so I'm like, wait, wait, wait. No, you are. You actually are really good at dancing.

[32:15] Allison: So I feel very conflicted about it.

[32:17] Andrew: Right.

[32:19] Allison: Um, yeah.

[32:21] Andrew: I am excited to get into the T, the Alex T later in this episode.

[32:26] Allison: Okay, okay, okay. Before that, um, you wanted to say something about the Harry Shum of it all.

[32:32] Andrew: So I thought for some reason it was in my head that the danceability coach like didn't make sense.

[32:39] Allison: I was like, oh, I feel like the judge for danceability is like Max Adler or someone.

[32:47] Andrew: Like somebody that doesn't dance on the show.

[32:49] Allison: Uh-huh.

[32:49] Andrew: But then Harry Shum Jr. came out, and I was like, oh okay, yeah.

[32:53] Allison: They this makes sense.

[32:54] Andrew: I feel like of course they had to.

[32:56] Allison: Not to group you in with all the other dumbasses in this episode.

[32:59] Andrew: I am.

[33:00] Allison: But when they were like, you can say I'm not gonna make you look dumbass.

[33:04] Andrew: Um, they were all like, I wonder who it's gonna be, I wonder who it's gonna be.

[33:09] Allison: And I'm like, who the fuck do you think it's gonna be?

[33:12] Andrew: I think Shum Jr. Harry fucking Shum fucking Jr.

[33:15] Allison: Which seriously? The best dancer on the goddamn show.

[33:18] Andrew: He is the best tool for the job.

[33:20] Allison: Or Heather.

[33:21] Andrew: Second year so true.

[33:23] Allison: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're doing Heather Erasure.

[33:25] Andrew: I'm s I feel really bad.

[33:27] Allison: Women's stories matter.

[33:28] Andrew: The a cappella of Hey Soul Sister is.

[33:32] Allison: I hate it.

[33:34] Andrew: Well, it's just not good.

[33:36] Allison: I will say that like this and the actual music video that they do in this episode, I think are in a dead heat for worse Glee Project comp uh glee project performances.

[33:48] Andrew: I think that they're both really, really bad.

[33:50] Allison: I think that Hey Soul Sister is the worst.

[33:53] Andrew: Yes.

[33:53] Allison: I don't think that um, what is it?

[33:57] Andrew: It's not heavy with your best shot.

[33:59] Allison: What the fuck?

[33:59] Andrew: You can't touch this.

[34:00] Allison: You can't touch this is on my playlist.

[34:03] Andrew: It's not my favorite, but Hey Soul Sister, I don't even have downloaded.

[34:07] Allison: Fuck fuck this song.

[34:10] Andrew: I hate this song, period.

[34:12] Allison: I hate this song when it's sang by the Warblers.

[34:14] Andrew: And I especially hate it when it is sang so terribly as this homework assignment.

[34:20] Allison: I said, worst homework assignment, easily.

[34:22] Andrew: Everyone sounds terrible except Cameron.

[34:24] Allison: Stop it.

[34:26] Andrew: You have these like little blinders on.

[34:28] Allison: Sounds good.

[34:29] Andrew: And yeah, I've got Cameron-shaped blinders.

[34:29] Allison: Cameron-shaped blinders.

[34:33] Andrew: They're the skinny as a needle.

[34:35] Allison: Like you can only see.

[34:39] Andrew: Um, but no, you can't touch this my hill to die on on uh easily the worst song of this episode.

[34:48] Allison: I have yet to see in recent time uh what the other performances are on the rest of these two seasons.

[34:55] Andrew: But I would I would say this was really, really bad.

[35:00] Allison: And I think it would be really hard to beat as more terrible.

[35:04] Andrew: I will say, um, I know that we like to say things for the sake of just adding it to the carousel, but I don't know if you've um have seen this this video of like very uh it's very evidently like New York City interns that they're there for the summer, they're on the subway, and they're all like jamming to Hey Soul Sister.

[35:24] Allison: Have you seen this?

[35:25] Andrew: Yep.

[35:25] Allison: It's intern season in New York.

[35:27] Andrew: And they're singing Hey Soul Sister on the subway.

[35:30] Allison: Yep.

[35:30] Andrew: I know exactly what you're talking about.

[35:32] Allison: I'm like, huh.

[35:34] Andrew: If I— That's the kind of person that likes this fucking song.

[35:37] Allison: Right.

[35:37] Andrew: But I think that like if I watched both of these performances, the subway performance and the Glee Project performance back to back, I would struggle to be like, which one is better?

[35:47] Allison: Yeah.

[35:48] Andrew: Not sure.

[35:48] Allison: It hurts.

[35:50] Andrew: It's terrible.

[35:52] Allison: I um I have Samuel wins dot dot dot.

[35:57] Andrew: It's a canon event.

[35:59] Allison: You can't interrupt.

[36:00] Andrew: I think Samuel winning really sets us up for Skadoosh Gate.

[36:06] Allison: Right.

[36:06] Andrew: In the best way.

[36:08] Allison: Well, and I think I don't know if you have any notes about this, but I'm willing to jump forward quickly to this quick scene that happens between Samuel and Harry.

[36:17] Andrew: Um that I'm like, I will totally agree that it's a canon event that Samuel wins because it feels like a canon event for these two souls be in the same room.

[36:27] Allison: To be in the same room and and talk to each other, right?

[36:31] Andrew: Because then they impersonate each other.

[36:32] Allison: That's why on the redacted show.

[36:35] Andrew: On the redacted show.

[36:36] Allison: I was like, what is it about these two people that they must link together?

[36:42] Andrew: They must be together.

[36:43] Allison: I yeah, I I'm oh my god.

[36:48] Andrew: Alex.

[36:49] Allison: Then we go into, yes, we go into the the room after Samuel wins.

[36:54] Andrew: Yeah.

[36:54] Allison: After Samuel wins, and Alex has this um confessional where Alex is like, yeah, well, I I just kind of expected to win, like go Mateus me, Mateus me, like back and forth.

[37:06] Andrew: Um then, but then to the other people, Alex is like, I didn't really want to win.

[37:12] Allison: Like I can't I can't win them all.

[37:13] Andrew: Sure.

[37:14] Allison: And I'm like, that is such an 18-year-old theater kid thing to do.

[37:20] Andrew: My exact thought.

[37:21] Allison: Because like I remember thinking that way at some points where I'm like, well, like I can't keep on winning.

[37:29] Andrew: I fucking hate that I'm even saying that in hindsight, you know, like but I remember thinking that, and I'm like, I know that I can run circles.

[37:37] Allison: I don't even look whatever I was doing.

[37:40] Andrew: Um but yeah, no, it's just I wrote down a few quotables of what Alex said, and I just think that it was kind of played for laughs in a way that's different than the Lindsay villain edit.

[37:56] Allison: Where I'm like the editor is it's a new editor this week.

[38:00] Andrew: Goofy, goofy.

[38:01] Allison: And they're usually doing this week it's like, it's like Seth Rogan type um movie editor, but in prior weeks it was like um, I don't know, the only thing that I'm thinking of is like the good pope.

[38:14] Andrew: Whatever that I don't even know what that is.

[38:16] Allison: The good pope?

[38:17] Andrew: The good pope?

[38:18] Allison: You know what that a Jude Law.

[38:20] Andrew: Why am I thinking of the good Pope?

[38:22] Allison: Struck work.

[38:24] Andrew: What's it like?

[38:25] Allison: I why is the good pope the only like drama?

[38:28] Andrew: Is that a movie?

[38:29] Allison: The good pope, I think, was a series, and we're saying good pope so many times, and it struck work.

[38:35] Andrew: Great.

[38:36] Allison: Great.

[38:37] Andrew: Um, but I'm all all that to say, the good pope editor edited Lindsay's villain edit, Seth Rogan editor.

[38:45] Andrew: Wait, oh, is it the young Pope?

[38:48] Allison: I think it's the young Pope.

[38:51] Andrew: Well, now that struck work.

[38:53] Allison: The good Pope isn't real.

[38:54] Andrew: I was okay before.

[38:55] Allison: I think it's okay.

[38:57] Andrew: Either way, whatever I just said is making its way into the carousel in some fashion.

[39:03] Allison: But um, the good pope editor.

[39:10] Allison: So this is funny to you.

[39:12] Andrew: I think that they they address the situation with humor more so than the Lindsay of it all.

[39:20] Allison: I would agree.

[39:20] Andrew: This, it's just kind of ridiculous.

[39:23] Allison: It's uh it doesn't look good, Alex.

[39:26] Andrew: Like, don't uh don't I can't help you against the editors if you simply keep saying shit like that.

[39:36] Allison: Um, and I will say, I know that we're all just laughs like 95% of the time, but I will to get real for a second, I just felt like okay, what's really going on with Alex right now?

[39:48] Andrew: And um if I knew to win.

[39:50] Allison: They wanted to win, but like also feelings are hurt.

[39:53] Andrew: So true.

[39:54] Allison: But you did a pirouette.

[39:56] Andrew: The Pure Wet was kind of crazy.

[40:03] Allison: The train Pirouette?

[40:05] Andrew: I don't know.

[40:07] Allison: Um, but to psychoanalyze someone that I have no right psychoanalyzing, um, especially what, 13 years after the fact.

[40:15] Andrew: Right.

[40:16] Allison: Um, I will say that it feels correct for Alex to be um kind of trying to take control of this situation that he is like he feels so out of control.

[40:31] Andrew: Like he he feels like the least bit in control in other situations, but you know, here he is, and this is something that he feels comfortable and confident in.

[40:43] Allison: And so here he is, and now Allison is standing.

[40:47] Andrew: I needed to take control of a situation that I didn't feel like I had any control in.

[40:52] Allison: Yeah.

[40:53] Andrew: I I would agree with that.

[40:56] Allison: I um that's an interesting take.

[40:59] Andrew: I agree with you, but that's an interesting take that I've never thought of.

[41:03] Allison: I'm coming at it from the perspective of like, I don't know, I know 18-year-old theater kids like that.

[41:09] Andrew: Like they really do think they're the shit.

[41:12] Allison: But I feel like it's like it's different again than the way that Lindsay is approaching this.

[41:20] Andrew: Yes.

[41:21] Allison: Where it's like Lindsay isn't like trying to control anybody or trying to direct others.

[41:26] Andrew: Um, Lindsay's just the people pleaser.

[41:29] Allison: She's just like, I'm good.

[41:31] Andrew: I'm really like great at what I'm doing, and I'm not afraid to let it shine.

[41:37] Allison: Um, but but Alex is just addressing it differently, and I hate to say it, but I have a a little bit more sympathy for Alex.

[41:46] Andrew: But I think that's because sympathy for Lindsay.

[41:49] Allison: But I think that's because of the Seth Rogan editor and the impact that it had on my brain.

[41:55] Andrew: My brain, my sausage marty brain chemistry.

[41:59] Allison: Right.

[41:59] Andrew: I wasn't gonna bring up struck work, I was just gonna say Seth Rogan.

[42:03] Allison: Oh god damn it.

[42:04] Andrew: But here you go.

[42:05] Allison: It's so hard.

[42:06] Andrew: It's so hard.

[42:07] Allison: You think your life is hard? Try not referencing sausage party every day of your goddamn life, okay?

[42:17] Andrew: But I will say that the the cap on this scene, and I think that the Seth Rogan editor really had fun with this.

[42:17] Allison: The cap on this scene being Alex skipping out of the boys' room and saying, au revoir.

[42:34] Andrew: I'm like, I'm gonna need to steal this bit now.

[42:37] Allison: That is good.

[42:38] Andrew: It's a great bit.

[42:40] Allison: After like talking shit directly to everybody else and being like, um, I'm just better than you.

[42:47] Andrew: Um, and I'm 18, just saying.

[42:49] Allison: Um I can only get better with age.

[42:52] Andrew: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna win a Tony, like 12 years later, manifesting.

[42:57] Allison: Um, but I I just I just loved Alex making that grand exit like that.

[43:04] Andrew: Something that they wouldn't do for Lindsay, you know, Lindsay wouldn't get that humor.

[43:08] Allison: No.

[43:08] Andrew: She wouldn't get the bit.

[43:09] Allison: She wouldn't get the bit and the funniness and the like poking at like, oh, they're still 18.

[43:09] Andrew: They're still 18.

[43:15] Allison: They're playing Lindsay as a fully grown adult.

[43:17] Andrew: Right, right.

[43:18] Allison: No, exactly.

[43:18] Andrew: And that's what she said.

[43:20] Allison: I remember her shirt, she was the slut.

[43:22] Andrew: She was a slut, yep.

[43:23] Allison: Yep.

[43:24] Andrew: Um we go to who is the slut?

[43:29] Allison: Is it Alex or is it Lindsay?

[43:30] Andrew: Or is it Seth Rogan?

[43:31] Allison: We're all we're all the sluts in a sluts, come on.

[43:35] Andrew: Um, we're gonna go to vocals with Nikki now.

[43:39] Allison: And we get Nikki's side gick, sidekick reveal for some reason.

[43:46] Andrew: I was like, wait a minute.

[43:47] Allison: His name is Christopher, and um, he doesn't say anything, but he gets a title card.

[43:56] Andrew: Like, okay, who is this man?

[43:58] Allison: Why is he?

[44:00] Andrew: He might be editing the episode.

[44:01] Allison: Oh, he's the Seth Rogan.

[44:04] Andrew: He's the Seth Rogan producer.

[44:05] Allison: Okay.

[44:06] Andrew: If you go to Seth Rogan's following list on Instagram.

[44:09] Allison: It's just him.

[44:10] Andrew: It's just Christopher spelled with is spelled K-R-I-S-T-O-P-E.

[44:18] Andrew: Okay.

[44:19] Allison: Okay.

[44:20] Andrew: Okay.

[44:22] Allison: Um, Hannah's glasses in this scene, I think are the main character.

[44:27] Andrew: Yeah, absolutely.

[44:28] Allison: Her sunglasses.

[44:29] Andrew: They are so 2011.

[44:32] Allison: I will say that, like, I think that the cheese lamp has um kind of embodied itself into Hannah's glasses.

[44:39] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[44:40] Allison: I would agree with that.

[44:41] Andrew: You think that Cheese Lamp is no longer a character on this series?

[44:44] Allison: No, she's there.

[44:45] Andrew: She's just parry the platypist into some sunglasses.

[44:50] Allison: Um let's talk about Skidoosh Gate.

[44:54] Andrew: Skidooshate.

[44:55] Allison: Okay.

[44:56] Andrew: This is another classic young person thing to do.

[45:03] Allison: Oh, and an old person.

[45:05] Andrew: Like legend.

[45:05] Allison: Just present the facts of like what happened.

[45:09] Andrew: Samuel Larson.

[45:18] Andrew: Here we are, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

[45:21] Allison: And uh it's danceability week.

[45:24] Andrew: Samuel performs and he wins danceability homework assignment.

[45:29] Allison: So therefore, because of his winning, he gets a prime spot in the music video.

[45:37] Andrew: And this week, what that looks like is him getting a an ad-lib session of rapping in the song not hit me with your best shot.

[45:50] Allison: You can't touch this.

[45:52] Andrew: Wow, this is why they pay you the big bucks.

[45:54] Allison: This is why they pay me the big bucks on the stand.

[45:56] Andrew: This is how I passed the glee bar.

[45:58] Allison: Um Samuel has been hanging out with Hannah.

[46:05] Andrew: I think they're friends, I think they're friends at this point.

[46:07] Allison: And Hannah's little thing is her little vocal stem where she goes, good douche.

[46:16] Andrew: I don't know why she does it, when she does it, but she has done it multiple times in front of Samuel to the point where he thinks it is funny.

[46:25] Allison: Hannah, funny girl.

[46:27] Andrew: Funny girl.

[46:28] Allison: Very funny girl.

[46:29] Andrew: Um take notes, I'll go spills in.

[46:31] Allison: Exactly.

[46:32] Andrew: So Samuel is gonna go into the recording studio with Nikki, Minaj, and Nicky Dominic to do Queen Nicky Dominant, and he needs to do some ad-libbing for rapping.

[46:46] Allison: And he steals the boo skidoche.

[46:52] Andrew: Um, audio medium, I'm always doing it's like the dunk.

[46:52] Allison: The dunk.

[46:57] Andrew: Yeah.

[46:58] Allison: Look, flick of the wrist.

[47:01] Andrew: Yeah.

[47:02] Allison: Um, but he steals it and he sings it, and Nikki fucking loves it.

[47:07] Andrew: Nikki loses her fucking mind.

[47:09] Allison: No, the entire group chat.

[47:11] Andrew: Or in my entire life.

[47:13] Allison: This is incredible.

[47:14] Andrew: This is beautiful.

[47:15] Allison: Nick and Christopher, sorry, lawyer.

[47:18] Andrew: But lawyer, don't interrupt me, I'm on the stand.

[47:21] Allison: Her and Christopher are both losing their goddamn mind.

[47:27] Andrew: And you would think that Christopher would know Christopher knows funny because he's bad teast with Seth Rogue.

[47:34] Allison: He's Seth Rogan's producer, exactly.

[47:37] Andrew: And in the chat, Jack says Skidoosh is so 2010's millennial coded.

[47:42] Allison: I don't know why.

[47:43] Andrew: It's because Skidoosh comes from Kung Fu Panda.

[47:43] Allison: Kung Fu Panda.

[47:48] Andrew: Please welcome to the stand Kung Fu Black.

[47:54] Allison: Hey, Jack Black.

[47:58] Andrew: Wait, I know I'm like really in my my carousel producing era right now, but I really need a picture of the character Poe from Kung Fu Panda behind the stand, right?

[48:14] Allison: Thanks, Skidoosh.

[48:15] Andrew: Skidooch.

[48:20] Allison: I don't know why he says it.

[48:21] Andrew: I don't know why he says it.

[48:23] Allison: No, wait, are you talking about Kung Fu Panda?

[48:25] Andrew: Kung Fu.

[48:26] Allison: No, because I watched in combination of watching this episode right before this recording, I also watched a supercut of all the times that the character Poe said Skadoosh in all three Kung Fu Panda movies.

[48:37] Andrew: And it seemed to me that it was just like almost like a little like um, like, you know, like Kame Kameha, like uh, you know What was that?

[48:46] Allison: Kami Kamiha, like Dragon Ball Z.

[48:49] Andrew: Like where it was almost like it's like Stephanie in the chat knows.

[48:55] Allison: Summon the power, it's like a little like tagline or like whatever you do to, I guess use your power.

[49:02] Andrew: Whatever.

[49:02] Allison: So he does it a lot of times, and that's sort of his tagline.

[49:05] Andrew: And it also came out in 2008, which is really important information, considering this was filmed in 2011.

[49:11] Allison: So it would be fresh on the mind.

[49:14] Andrew: It would.

[49:15] Allison: Can the title of this episode be Skadoosh Gate?

[49:18] Andrew: Um, no, we are naming the episodes just Glee Project Recap.

[49:22] Allison: So I maybe Really, we're not titling them?

[49:24] Andrew: No, you've been you've been looking at them.

[49:27] Allison: I mean what?

[49:28] Andrew: Listen to them.

[49:30] Allison: It no, it's just I I it can be we can put in the description like alt title skadoosh gate.

[49:37] Andrew: Skidoosh gate.

[49:38] Allison: Yeah, but um I don't know why Samuel does it, but I think he does immediately regret it.

[49:46] Andrew: But he a lot of people are doing and saying things this episode that they regret, but unfortunately they are leaning into them instead of repenting for their sins.

[49:55] Allison: I think Alex immediately regrets saying I I can't win them all.

[50:02] Andrew: Like I but Alex leans into it.

[50:05] Allison: I have more thoughts.

[50:06] Andrew: Yeah.

[50:07] Allison: They don't like be like, oh yeah, that's I I didn't actually mean that.

[50:11] Andrew: Like I I they don't they don't admit how they're actually feeling.

[50:15] Allison: Uh Steven, what's his name?

[50:17] Andrew: Samuel.

[50:18] Allison: I am so fucking tired right now.

[50:21] Andrew: Steven Samuel Larson.

[50:22] Allison: Who are you standing up?

[50:24] Andrew: Because I'm gonna fall asleep if I keep sitting down.

[50:26] Allison: Okay.

[50:27] Andrew: Um Steven Larson, um, Andrew Randles.

[50:32] Allison: He is in Andrew Randles, where did he come from?

[50:36] Andrew: Jonathan Larson?

[50:38] Allison: Is that what you're trying to say?

[50:40] Andrew: And you're you're you're trying to say Andrew Garfield?

[50:44] Allison: I think I I understand where how you got there.

[50:48] Andrew: Unfortunately, our we're on the same wavelength.

[50:50] Allison: I don't know why Samuel does it, but I think he regrets it as soon as he does it.

[50:54] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[50:55] Allison: And but unfortunately, he leans into it.

[50:57] Andrew: Yeah.

[50:58] Allison: And he does, he does something which I think I would have done in high school is fess up to what he did immediately, but doing it in a group setting.

[51:08] Andrew: That's something that you would do.

[51:10] Allison: Sorry.

[51:10] Andrew: Because I didn't understand the wherewithal.

[51:15] Allison: I I did not understand the choice that Samuel made where he's like, oh god, she's gonna find out.

[51:20] Andrew: So I might as well be the one to tell her.

[51:22] Allison: No, but like he like proud, like it was just like he literally leaves the um Queen Nikki Dominant studio and he's like target lock, Hannah.

[51:32] Andrew: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you what I did in a really like casual manner where I don't feel like I'm not fessing up to anything.

[51:38] Allison: That's the part that takes me out.

[51:40] Andrew: I'm like, why are you telling this person that you did something bad?

[51:46] Allison: Because she's gonna find out, and it's gonna be worse if she found out on the music video.

[51:51] Andrew: But would it be it makes more sense for me to be like apology with tears, you know?

[51:56] Allison: Yes, it does.

[51:57] Andrew: It does, but he's a kid.

[51:59] Allison: Okay.

[52:00] Andrew: In a band.

[52:01] Allison: In a band.

[52:03] Andrew: You can't trust kids in bands.

[52:05] Allison: You really can't.

[52:06] Andrew: Watch seasons one through three of Naked Brothers Band, and you will understand.

[52:09] Allison: There's more streamy little children.

[52:12] Andrew: More struck work.

[52:13] Allison: Um the whole ad lib situation made me so uncomfortable.

[52:19] Andrew: Um He tells He tells her again.

[52:22] Allison: I just like I'm looking at my notes, sorry.

[52:24] Andrew: He tells Hannah, not once, but twice, that he's like so.

[52:30] Allison: He tells her while like he as soon as he leaves, and then it goes to a uh um a talking head of Hannah being like, not sure why Samuel would do this, and then it goes back to Samuel telling her the same information over again while they're sitting at the table.

[52:45] Andrew: I'm just like I don't don't get it.

[52:49] Allison: Stop it.

[52:50] Andrew: Stop it.

[52:51] Allison: Stop.

[52:51] Andrew: I command you to knock it off.

[52:54] Allison: Um do you have anything more about Skadochgate?

[52:58] Andrew: Um I liked the the complexity of Alex's um reaction to it, and he says, um, Samuel being cocky can be a bad thing, and I'm like, that is so You just what galaxy-brained Alex.

[53:18] Allison: I feel like Alex is sick this week.

[53:20] Andrew: What do we think?

[53:21] Allison: This sounds like they've got like a plegmy nose, like they've got a stuffy nose right now.

[53:26] Andrew: Um interesting.

[53:29] Allison: I'm gonna have to watch it back for the sick edit for the sick, yeah.

[53:33] Andrew: Figure out who's sick sick boom on this week's episode of Glee Project.

[53:37] Allison: Because there's always there's always one sick contestant.

[53:40] Andrew: They're in a room, all stuck together and they're all sleeping and breathing and eating and shitting and farting and pissing and coming in the same room.

[53:47] Allison: And they're all cut off from uh modern world, modern medicine, modern medicine.

[53:53] Andrew: Thank you.

[53:54] Allison: So they're gonna get sick boom.

[53:56] Andrew: So can we go to we're going into Corey Zack dancing with Zach?

[54:01] Allison: I have things to say.

[54:11] Andrew: It's also Kung Fu Panda era.

[54:13] Allison: It's like Hannah, just fucking tell us.

[54:17] Andrew: Just tell us that you're the kung Fu Panda's biggest Stan.

[54:21] Allison: You fucking love Jet Black.

[54:22] Andrew: We get it.

[54:23] Allison: We get it.

[54:24] Andrew: I don't know if I've ever actually.

[54:26] Allison: Wait, we can talk about cartoons.

[54:28] Andrew: Apparently, I don't know.

[54:30] Allison: I don't trust that information for some reason.

[54:32] Andrew: Um I must have watched the first one.

[54:38] Allison: Have you?

[54:39] Andrew: Oh yeah, I've watched the first one.

[54:41] Allison: I don't think I've seen are there three?

[54:43] Andrew: I think there's three, and I think that they're making a fourth.

[54:47] Allison: I have not seen two or three, but I have seen the first one.

[54:50] Andrew: And it didn't make sense to me because isn't his dad a goose?

[54:54] Allison: Isn't he adopted?

[54:55] Andrew: Isn't that like adopted representation?

[54:59] Allison: Oh single father representation.

[55:05] Andrew: The father that stepped up.

[55:07] Allison: Wait, okay what?

[55:08] Andrew: No, say it.

[55:09] Allison: Where did the stepmom go?

[55:11] Andrew: Where did the adopted mom go?

[55:12] Allison: Listen, you're asking someone that doesn't even know if they watch this movie.

[55:16] Andrew: Skidoosh.

[55:18] Allison: All I watched was this super cut of him singing.

[55:25] Andrew: Super cut of us.

[55:27] Allison: The super cut of Skadoosh.

[55:29] Andrew: Nowhere in that supercut did they explain where the character came from.

[55:33] Allison: What the fuck?

[55:34] Andrew: I need to know.

[55:35] Allison: I'm confused.

[55:36] Andrew: Biology, biology, biology.

[55:38] Allison: Are you?

[55:40] Andrew: I was mad at Zach in this episode.

[55:42] Allison: How about you?

[55:43] Andrew: Um, I'm always mad at Zach Woodley.

[55:46] Allison: I haven't particularly not mad.

[55:48] Andrew: I thought he redeems himself in the end by being like, and like so he.

[55:55] Allison: I don't know.

[55:56] Andrew: He's like treating it made me feel a little icky.

[55:58] Allison: It's just like the way that he was treating Hannah during dance rehearsals.

[56:02] Andrew: And he I don't know.

[56:04] Allison: Like, I feel the same way about him that I feel about director Eric.

[56:08] Andrew: Um where I'm like, where are your credentials?

[56:12] Allison: You are not I don't think that you're doing your job properly.

[56:16] Andrew: Um, because Zach is treating all of these contestants as if they have the same bodies, which they don't, and they're like, okay, if you can't keep up, there's something wrong with you.

[56:29] Allison: And it's like, no, no, no, baby boy, you were the choreographer.

[56:33] Andrew: You're the one that should be like knowing how to better help Mateus and better help Alex and better help Lindsay, better help Hannah.

[56:42] Allison: And Hannah is like the uh what's it called? The martyr, I guess, of this episode.

[56:49] Andrew: Um, and the fact that like he just like is like teasing her a little bit for like not getting it, and it just made me feel gross that like you're not actually going out of your way to assist this person in a different way than is necessary.

[57:05] Allison: I agree with that.

[57:06] Andrew: I um I was a little afraid.

[57:12] Allison: Who else is there?

[57:13] Andrew: Marissa jumpscare.

[57:15] Allison: Where has this girlie been?

[57:18] Andrew: She gets one like 10 seconds an episode, and I have to like thank God I was not a big Marissa stan.

[57:26] Allison: Because you're you really have not a lot of content to work on.

[57:29] Andrew: No content.

[57:30] Allison: You get no content.

[57:31] Andrew: You do get a little booty shaken later on.

[57:33] Allison: I okay, we're gonna have to devote hours to that.

[57:36] Andrew: You're talking about the booty poppin'?

[57:38] Allison: Booty poppin', but me and horny as fuck.

[57:41] Andrew: Wait, no, we're saving that.

[57:43] Allison: Um, but it's so interesting that you say that like Marissa's not doing anything when McKinley is kind of like notarized for not doing anything.

[57:53] Andrew: I know.

[57:53] Allison: Both Marissa and McKinley, I can feel them on their way out.

[57:57] Andrew: Uh-huh.

[57:59] Allison: Yeah.

[58:00] Andrew: Um, we're at the Eric White music video.

[58:02] Allison: Yeah.

[58:03] Andrew: And again, we're just saying words that just shouldn't be said.

[58:07] Allison: Skadoosh, Ninja, and then Damien says the word ghetto.

[58:13] Andrew: Oh, I didn't even catch that.

[58:15] Allison: Yeah, and I'm just like.

[58:18] Andrew: I mean, it is 2011.

[58:19] Allison: Sign of the Times, Harry Styles.

[58:21] Andrew: Damn the time, sign of the Times.

[58:23] Allison: But like, I don't like to even look at him when he's saying that.

[58:26] Andrew: He it gives me such dick.

[58:28] Allison: Damien.

[58:29] Andrew: Damien continues.

[58:31] Allison: I feel like every time that I rewatch this show, I resent him more.

[58:37] Andrew: Then love him now.

[58:39] Allison: He's king.

[58:41] Andrew: You told me or you um invited me on Facebook to join the Damien McGuinty Street team.

[58:47] Allison: Hoping that you were gonna bring this up in the in a recorded fashion.

[58:51] Andrew: Um did you accept?

[58:53] Allison: Yes, I did, and I joined.

[58:55] Andrew: What do you what do you think?

[58:56] Allison: In order to join, I had to um I had to like say what my favorite Damien song was.

[59:05] Andrew: And I said, um, are you lonesome tonight when he was on the Glee Project?

[59:10] Allison: Did you get in?

[59:11] Andrew: I got in.

[59:12] Allison: Oh no, okay, ding ding ding.

[59:14] Andrew: Ding ding ding. What's the password?

[59:16] Andrew: Oh my god, there's like videos.

[59:18] Allison: Oh no, those aren't like for him.

[59:21] Andrew: And he like regularly posts in the group.

[59:25] Allison: It's very, very sweet. I need you to on your own time, um, to look through this Facebook group and uh there's videos of him.

[59:35] Andrew: It's fun, it's like a really fun community of Damien Stans.

[59:40] Allison: I'm a Damien Stan now.

[59:43] Andrew: I um cannot defend him of things that he's done in 2011, unfortunately.

[59:48] Allison: No, me neither.

[59:50] Andrew: Um Mateus freaking out is iconic Glee Project, I think.

[59:56] Allison: I think this is like classic good content for the Glee Project.

[1:00:00] Andrew: Him becoming a Devo.

[1:00:02] Allison: A Devo. And can I say not to just like fucking shit on everybody production wise of this goddamn reality show?

[1:00:12] Andrew: But like Eric White, you were consistently lowering the bar for what it takes to be a good director.

[1:00:20] Allison: He literally watches, he watches Mateus. Stay on your mark.

[1:00:24] Andrew: Stay on your mark.

[1:00:26] Allison: Nuts above the tape.

[1:00:27] Andrew: Nuts above the tape.

[1:00:29] Allison: Um that was Zach actually. But um, but he Eric, he literally like witnesses Mateus kind of say something a little like uh aggressive toward Damien, and then he goes right over.

[1:00:47] Andrew: Oh yeah, absolutely.

[1:00:49] Allison: I I get it. Um and then and then instead of like addressing the situation, Eric White just goes over to another cameraman and is just like he is being a devo right now.

[1:01:02] Andrew: And I'm like, shouldn't you be fucking handling this situation?

[1:01:05] Allison: Right. Aren't you the director of this production? Aren't you an adult? Aren't you aren't you the one with a fully formed brain?

[1:01:13] Andrew: Or do I have you fucked up for someone else?

[1:01:16] Allison: I'm seriously so mad. It's like he doesn't fucking handle any conflict, and that's fucking director num rule number one is you need to be the one to fucking address the conflict.

[1:01:32] Andrew: Exactly.

[1:01:32] Allison: And he literally job. He literally just like talks shit about the fucking talent.

[1:01:38] Andrew: And I'm like, I I'm out. I'm literally done. I hate you.

[1:01:44] Allison: Cancel Eric White of a P.

[1:01:46] Andrew: Diddy deal.

[1:01:47] Allison: Yeah, I want the awards to be given back.

[1:01:51] Andrew: I can't. I the process of this music video is like meh to me.

[1:01:57] Allison: The big notes.

[1:01:59] Andrew: Yeah. Uh are, well, because McKinley was bad in the studio.

[1:02:03] Allison: Yeah.

[1:02:04] Andrew: Mateus was bad at the music video shoot.

[1:02:07] Allison: Um.

[1:02:09] Andrew: But I do like the final product.

[1:02:11] Allison: I listen to it.

[1:02:12] Andrew: I stream.

[1:02:13] Allison: The auto-tune is fun.

[1:02:14] Andrew: Hannah's voice flaps.

[1:02:17] Allison: Wait.

[1:02:17] Andrew: And you know.

[1:02:19] Allison: The auto-tune.

[1:02:20] Andrew: To me, the auto-tune felt like they didn't initially think that they were gonna use auto-tune, but they needed they they got the product back and they were like, oh god.

[1:02:31] Allison: Oh god, we need to we need to do something to this to kind of distract from something else.

[1:02:37] Andrew: I like it. I I needed them to put um auto-tune on the home boy from Damien because otherwise I would commit crimes if I heard that without auto-tune, without some sort of filter on it.

[1:02:52] Allison: It's crazy to me. I know that I'm like anti, anti, anti-Damien um 2011. I feel like I need to put disclaimer every time.

[1:03:01] Andrew: Um but it is a one of the great mysteries of the universe that he is not bottom three this week and also every week.

[1:03:10] Allison: Genuinely, I I was like, I'm guessing Mateus is in the bottom three and McKinley.

[1:03:16] Andrew: And I was right.

[1:03:17] Allison: Mateus, Alex, and McKinley are our bottom three.

[1:03:21] Andrew: Do you have anything else about the music video before we get into it?

[1:03:24] Allison: Um I don't know. I said it last week. I think it was last week. I think maybe it was like two weeks ago. That um McKinley is absolutely me representation all over.

[1:03:36] Andrew: I literally um could not stand it when they were at the music video shoot, and uh they were like McKinley, like show up with your personality, like publicly in front of everybody.

[1:03:47] Allison: And I'm like, oh, I hate when that happens when you're kind of like called out for not being yourself in front of everybody, and it's like, oh, that's a great idea.

[1:03:59] Andrew: Yeah, could should have fucking considered that. Great.

[1:04:02] Allison: Great. Great.

[1:04:03] Andrew: I don't know. I just like really did not like that.

[1:04:05] Allison: Anything else that I wanted to say?

[1:04:06] Andrew: Um.

[1:04:09] Allison: Oh, there was like a when Hannah was watching the the monitor when Samuel does so, and then the sad little cut to Hannah watching, and you could see a single tear.

[1:04:09] Andrew: No, you can't.

[1:04:09] Allison: You could see a single tear roll down her cheek.

[1:04:29] Andrew: She's just like, um that should be my skidoosh.

[1:04:29] Allison: That should be my skadoosh. Skidoche is my thing.

[1:04:37] Andrew: And Kung Fu Panda's like, shut up.

[1:04:41] Allison: I literally invented it.

[1:04:43] Andrew: Oh my god. You guys have never skidoched before me.

[1:04:47] Allison: Exactly, bitch.

[1:04:49] Andrew: Bitch.

[1:04:50] Allison: I want Kung Fu Panda to slap me and call me a bitch.

[1:04:54] Andrew: Um so the bottom three tonight are Mateus, Alex, and McKinley.

[1:04:59] Allison: And um McKinley gets assigned the song last name by Carrie Underwood.

[1:05:06] Andrew: Right.

[1:05:07] Allison: And she says, McKinley has she's like, I've performed that song in a lot of country competitions.

[1:05:14] Andrew: And I'm like, what do you think is a country competition?

[1:05:22] Allison: Something that kind of just like processed okay in my mind, but having it repeated back to me, I'm like, what the fuck is a country competition?

[1:05:33] Andrew: I'm gonna outcountry you.

[1:05:35] Allison: No, you can't outcounter me, because I'm gonna outcountry you.

[1:05:39] Andrew: I'm the most I I eat Pop for dinner.

[1:05:43] Allison: Oh my god.

[1:05:45] Andrew: And I love rubbing some mud on my pigs and chasing them around more.

[1:05:50] Allison: Did McKinley say that she won any of these country competitions?

[1:05:54] Andrew: No, not necessarily.

[1:05:55] Allison: Okay, she's just attended.

[1:05:58] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:05:58] Allison: I want to go, I think we should go to a country competition.

[1:05:58] Andrew: I think we should too, because that reminds me of the episode County Fair of the redacted show Naked Brothers Band.

[1:06:07] Allison: Okay, if you say redacted show, I guess that kind of clears your morals.

[1:06:16] Andrew: Oh my god, because that was a country competition.

[1:06:19] Allison: Everybody's dressed up and out countrying each other.

[1:06:22] Andrew: It's fun.

[1:06:22] Allison: And where did McKinley place?

[1:06:24] Andrew: 7,000th.

[1:06:26] Allison: Um but this is a no, she's no, she's better.

[1:06:30] Andrew: Take that back.

[1:06:30] Allison: She's great.

[1:06:31] Andrew: She is great.

[1:06:32] Allison: She is great.

[1:06:33] Andrew: She is great.

[1:06:33] Allison: But some other people yell.

[1:06:37] Andrew: So it does.

[1:06:39] Allison: I've seen like the the wife, the husband calling competitions.

[1:06:44] Andrew: Do you think that that's part of McKinley's um country competitions?

[1:06:49] Allison: Probably.

[1:06:49] Andrew: I would say.

[1:06:50] Allison: That's why she lost.

[1:06:52] Andrew: Right.

[1:06:52] Allison: She was singing last name.

[1:06:54] Andrew: And everybody else was yelling for their husbands.

[1:06:58] Allison: She's like, I don't have a husband yet.

[1:07:00] Andrew: She does now.

[1:07:01] Allison: Spoiler alert.

[1:07:02] Andrew: Spoiler alert.

[1:07:02] Allison: Spoiler alert.

[1:07:03] Andrew: McKinley got wiped up.

[1:07:05] Allison: Um, but yeah, she really did not understand the assignment.

[1:07:09] Andrew: But I will say, maybe this is getting ahead of myself.

[1:07:13] Allison: Um, she does understand the assignment here.

[1:07:17] Andrew: And really with flying collars.

[1:07:20] Allison: Let's just talk about McKinley in general now.

[1:07:23] Andrew: Let's talk about McKinley in general.

[1:07:25] Allison: Um, Nikki came into her practice room.

[1:07:28] Andrew: McKinley made an uh I said Nakinley.

[1:07:32] Allison: That's their ship name.

[1:07:33] Andrew: Um Nikki made made the rounds.

[1:07:36] Allison: Has she not been I feel like she has been making rounds.

[1:07:38] Andrew: She's done that before.

[1:07:39] Allison: Someone definitely I th I know that Robert definitely did in the Ellis elimination episode.

[1:07:44] Andrew: Okay.

[1:07:45] Allison: But I didn't know that was allowed.

[1:07:47] Andrew: Is this allowed?

[1:07:48] Allison: This is allowed.

[1:07:50] Andrew: I'm not sure.

[1:07:50] Allison: But Nikki, no, but at least like she was she was doing it for everybody.

[1:07:54] Andrew: She wasn't just doing it for her childhood friend for childhood McKinley that she loves.

[1:08:00] Allison: Growing up country competitions.

[1:08:01] Andrew: This does not this is not the McKinley that I grew up with.

[1:08:07] Allison: Um I said McKinley, yes, this is her song, bitch, but what it needs, what it needs.

[1:08:14] Andrew: No.

[1:08:15] Allison: Is a little bit of Lily May's preacher's daughter.

[1:08:19] Andrew: Son of a preacher man.

[1:08:21] Allison: Son of a preacher.

[1:08:22] Andrew: Son of a preacher man.

[1:08:23] Allison: Yeah.

[1:08:23] Andrew: And I want her to use the wall.

[1:08:23] Allison: The wall.

[1:08:27] Andrew: I want to use the wall.

[1:08:28] Allison: I want her to use the space.

[1:08:30] Andrew: I think she's doing a lot of facework and a lot of handwork.

[1:08:34] Allison: But you need the whole body, baby.

[1:08:36] Andrew: There was something about this performance watching it, that I was like the match cuts because they would do like a close-up and then they would do a like a more wide shot.

[1:08:52] Allison: And it wouldn't completely match from where she like sang the one lyric going into the next shot.

[1:09:00] Andrew: And I'm like, did she sing it twice?

[1:09:03] Allison: I think they edited it.

[1:09:05] Andrew: You think Seth Rogan uh editor?

[1:09:07] Allison: Seth Rogan edited it, yeah.

[1:09:09] Andrew: Because that's why I'm.

[1:09:10] Allison: Oh, Seth Rogan himself is editing it now.

[1:09:12] Andrew: Yeah, he logged in.

[1:09:13] Allison: Um he's like, I got this.

[1:09:16] Andrew: Don't worry, guys.

[1:09:19] Allison: Um, that was my Seth Rogan impression.

[1:09:21] Andrew: Um Can you wait?

[1:09:22] Allison: Can you do a Seth Rogan keep holding on later on?

[1:09:25] Andrew: No, I'm gonna do a Hugh Jackman.

[1:09:27] Allison: Oh, I okay, I also have my own.

[1:09:28] Andrew: Okay, so uh maybe Seth Rogan for a future episode.

[1:09:31] Allison: Oh write it down.

[1:09:33] Andrew: Um They edited it because I think she performs the whole song, but it was cut for time.

[1:09:40] Allison: Okay, okay.

[1:09:41] Andrew: Son of a preacher, man.

[1:09:43] Allison: Um not the song.

[1:09:45] Andrew: Down by Mateus.

[1:09:49] Allison: I will say just like just in general, these are the three most this is a big thing for us, diametrically different songs of all times.

[1:09:59] Andrew: Triangularly different.

[1:10:01] Allison: We have Last Name by Carrie Underwood.

[1:10:03] Andrew: I Will Always Love You by Dolly by Dolly Parton, made famous by Whitney Houston.

[1:10:09] Allison: Beautiful song.

[1:10:10] Andrew: Down Down by Iaz.

[1:10:13] Allison: I think it's, isn't it Jay Sean?

[1:10:16] Andrew: Oh, is Replay IS?

[1:10:18] Allison: I think Ies is replay.

[1:10:20] Andrew: Yeah, let me um, baby.

[1:10:22] Allison: Are you down, down, down, down?

[1:10:24] Andrew: It's Jay Sean Lil Wayne.

[1:10:28] Allison: And I was like, I can't think of three songs that are more different.

[1:10:28] Andrew: More different.

[1:10:33] Allison: Mateus' performance really shines a light on the fact that Glee Project is emphasizing that in order to be confident, you have to be sexual.

[1:10:47] Andrew: Huh.

[1:10:49] Allison: You can't be confident without sexy time.

[1:10:52] Andrew: You're not confident unless you take your shirt off Mateus and whip it around your body and start doing body rolls.

[1:10:59] Allison: Um I agree.

[1:11:02] Andrew: That's like really fucked up of them.

[1:11:04] Allison: That's really fucked up.

[1:11:05] Andrew: Um, but I will say, not not but also.

[1:11:10] Allison: I thought it was really strange that Ryan Murphy gives direction to Mateus before he does his performance.

[1:11:18] Andrew: I'm like, wait, wait, wait. You're giving this boy an unfair advantage.

[1:11:22] Allison: You're not giving direction to anybody else.

[1:11:25] Andrew: True.

[1:11:26] Allison: True.

[1:11:26] Andrew: And last time I checked, you're a really good goddamn director, too.

[1:11:32] Allison: So better than Eric White.

[1:11:35] Andrew: I'll say.

[1:11:36] Allison: Eric White's gonna listen to this and kill me.

[1:11:39] Andrew: Sneaking into your bed at night.

[1:11:41] Allison: Um, what do we think of Down?

[1:11:44] Andrew: Down was iconic.

[1:11:45] Allison: And I've already said it.

[1:11:47] Andrew: Very good.

[1:11:48] Allison: I've already said it, but I I feel like I'm almost gaslighting myself into believing that Mateus was a character on a redacted show that he is auditioning.

[1:11:58] Andrew: It just feels like Mateus is the is the person that would most correctly fit into this universe.

[1:12:05] Allison: Yes.

[1:12:05] Andrew: And especially after this really I thought it was a really fun performance that he did.

[1:12:10] Allison: Um I'm just like mad, just really, really anti-Damien 2011.

[1:12:15] Andrew: That I'm like, are you goddamn kidding me that this is the universe that we're in right now?

[1:12:21] Allison: How did I do that?

[1:12:21] Andrew: I want the I was about to reference struck work, and I think that we're done.

[1:12:25] Allison: We're done with that.

[1:12:27] Andrew: I will always love you by Alex Noel.

[1:12:31] Allison: I wrote down you can hear the training that Glee gave Alex.

[1:12:36] Andrew: That's why I think that Alex was sick this week.

[1:12:38] Allison: Because this is there's a lot of choices that Alex makes that I don't think they would make in this day and age.

[1:12:46] Andrew: I totally agree.

[1:12:47] Allison: I literally wrote down umybody else kind of underwhelmed by this performance.

[1:12:54] Andrew: And then I did a a follow-up note in reference to it, and I said, written before the beat drops.

[1:13:02] Allison: And I think that like when when they do the the big um yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:13:09] Andrew: And I'm like, oh, that's that's Tony Ward winner.

[1:13:12] Allison: Got it.

[1:13:13] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:13:13] Allison: Um, but everything leading up to that was like, this feels just really underwhelming knowing this person and where they go.

[1:13:22] Andrew: And what they can do.

[1:13:24] Allison: I can't imagine Dolly Parton singing this song.

[1:13:27] Andrew: Well, believe it.

[1:13:28] Allison: Okay.

[1:13:29] Andrew: Um is this wait, is this the the first year hearing that Dolly Parton?

[1:13:33] Allison: It is.

[1:13:34] Andrew: And it uh not like in this watching, but the first time I ever watched this, I was like, what?

[1:13:39] Allison: How is that real?

[1:13:41] Andrew: Fuck.

[1:13:41] Allison: You mean to tell me what?

[1:13:43] Andrew: Miss nine to 5?

[1:13:45] Allison: Miss Jolene?

[1:13:47] Andrew: Miss Jolene?

[1:13:48] Allison: Um then Ryan spits back out at Alex Um a line that Alex says from the show, like the the I'm just letting them I'm just letting them win.

[1:14:03] Andrew: Like I can't win them all.

[1:14:04] Allison: Right.

[1:14:05] Andrew: And I was like, how did how did Ryan get that?

[1:14:08] Andrew: Is Ryan watching the Seth Rogan?

[1:14:10] Allison: Oh, that's interesting.

[1:14:11] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:14:11] Allison: As they're being made.

[1:14:13] Andrew: Seth Rogan, we're gonna have to see if Seth Rogan also follows Ryan Murphy on Instagram.

[1:14:18] Allison: That's the only way to know of a friendship.

[1:14:22] Andrew: Right.

[1:14:23] Allison: Is if they follow each other on Instagram.

[1:14:25] Andrew: If they follow each other on Instagram.

[1:14:27] Allison: Um that's interesting because none of the three musketeers were present for that.

[1:14:35] Andrew: No.

[1:14:36] Allison: It was in the boys' room.

[1:14:37] Andrew: In the boys' room.

[1:14:38] Allison: Well, unless Ryan's got some bugs in the boys' room.

[1:14:42] Andrew: There are some bugs, let's just say that.

[1:14:44] Allison: There are some roaches, if you know what I mean.

[1:14:47] Andrew: Um and then I just was like, Alex, don't lean into that vibe.

[1:14:52] Allison: Don't lean into the like, yeah.

[1:14:55] Andrew: I ha I want other people shine too.

[1:14:59] Allison: Yeah.

[1:14:59] Andrew: Like, no, no, babe. Shut up.

[1:15:01] Allison: Shut up.

[1:15:02] Andrew: Shut up.

[1:15:04] Allison: But I guess also, I guess, yeah, that's where I just keep on coming back to. I'm like, you're 18 and you have a Tony now.

[1:15:12] Andrew: I literally I I don't give a fuck. I struggle to analyze what you've done over a decade ago.

[1:15:20] Allison: Right.

[1:15:20] Andrew: Because I know where you go. And so I'm like, if this was a stepping stone that you needed, by all means step on that damn stone. Let the damn thing break.

[1:15:28] Allison: Let the let the damn thing break, bitch.

[1:15:34] Andrew: Anyway. I will say that even though McKinley had my favorite performance of the three, she was the one that I felt needed to go home.

[1:15:48] Allison: I would agree with that.

[1:15:49] Andrew: It was McKinley's week for sure.

[1:15:52] Allison: And guess what? When the raw Robert Robot Robot Robot Rub up Rubber Robot Robot Ro Robot Robert comes into the room and says, the list is up, go take a look.

[1:15:53] Andrew: Take a look.

[1:16:09] Allison: It was McKinley's week to go home.

[1:16:11] Andrew: And can I just say one final thing about McKinley?

[1:16:14] Allison: Yes.

[1:16:16] Andrew: It does take me out every time that love this girl till the day I die. That's me and my Bessie, me and McKinley. However, it does take me out the way that she spells her name.

[1:16:27] Allison: It is giving very much. Remember those like chalkboards of like, here are the names. Rick Slay.

[1:16:37] Andrew: I'm like, why does her name why is her name spelled like that? I hate it.

[1:16:42] Allison: Um she goes, I think that she goes by Mickey now. M-I-K-I.

[1:16:45] Andrew: She does. Um, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. McKinley Abraham, who um was prior to week, that was ugly project person.

[1:16:58] Allison: Was anyone of note really McKinley.

[1:17:01] Andrew: Honestly. What that's sorry, Jenny.

[1:17:04] Allison: And um read the uh uh one more thing, Robert and Jay podcast.

[1:17:11] Andrew: No, but like but I remember shaking in my boots before talking to McKinley Abraham. Um yeah, I was scared.

[1:17:18] Allison: And I was like, yeah. So anyway, uh so McKinley will always have a special uh place in my heart and also my will. So love you girl.

[1:17:29] Andrew: What what is McKinley getting in your will?

[1:17:31] Allison: She's getting full rights to the podcast.

[1:17:35] Allison: A billion dollar property.

[1:18:05] Allison: Did they kiss?

[1:18:06] Andrew: Come on.

[1:18:08] Allison: You saw it where Cammy Wammy gave McKinley a flower.

[1:18:12] Andrew: And it's like, that's cute.

[1:18:14] Allison: And I'm like, I know.

[1:21:33] Andrew: Yeah, what happened there?

[1:21:35] Allison: My computer died.

[1:21:38] Andrew: Um I asked you who your keep holding on person was, and it just looked like you were just blankly staring at me.

[1:21:48] Allison: And I was like, did I say something wrong?

[1:21:55] Andrew: I was like, I thought that we were we were continuing to do this big.

[1:22:00] Allison: Don't ever say that ever again. You can't ask me that question.

[1:22:06] Andrew: Oh my god. Okay, I'm pulling up the keep holding on lyrics.

[1:22:09] Allison: Please, I need you to learn.

[1:22:45] Andrew: Uh that's great.

[1:22:55] Allison: Oh my god. Um, I have I have two choices for you. One I feel more confident about than the other. Both I will eventually do, I'm sure. I'm the most confident one.

[1:23:10] Andrew: Okay.

[1:23:17] Allison: It's um the chocolate lady from SpongeBob. She auditions for Glee Project season three. She really thinks that she's gonna get on this damn redacted show. And she she gets booted off before the first episode can even happen.

[1:23:37] Andrew: Keep holding on.

[1:23:39] Allison: Wait, I need to I need to say I need to say something with what does she say? She's like chocolate.

[1:23:43] Andrew: Chocolate!

[1:24:01] Andrew: I'm here for you.

[1:24:04] Allison: There's nothing you can say.

[1:24:06] Andrew: Okay.

[1:24:07] Allison: There's nothing you could do.

[1:24:09] Andrew: There's nothing you could do.

[1:24:11] Allison: I remember when they invented chocolate.

[1:24:14] Andrew: I always hated it.

[1:24:17] Allison: Here's what's coming up on the Glee Project.

[1:24:20] Andrew: Hey. Welcome back, everybody.

[1:24:24] Allison: Oh my god. What an episode of Gleek of the Week of Glee Project. Remember when we were like, I don't, we really don't feel like we have anything to say. And then we spoke for over an hour about it.

[1:24:36] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[1:24:38] Allison: That was pretty crazy. I remember that part.

[1:24:41] Andrew: Um, I'm gonna pull up a podcast review because guess what? Guess what? Guess what?

[1:24:46] Allison: What?

[1:24:47] Andrew: You can support our podcast. If you love us, if you uh love us, support our podcast. And one of the ways to do that without opening your wallets is by leaving us a cute little review on Apple Podcasts.

[1:25:06] Allison: Okay.

[1:25:07] Andrew: Okay.

[1:25:09] Allison: Um I'm gonna say.

[1:25:22] Andrew: I want to hear what Dink Daddy gotta say.

[1:25:25] Allison: Um well, it's not even about us. It's just about it's from when we did that competition. You remember when we we gave away the Darren Crystal that was wearing a Google League shirt?

[1:25:36] Andrew: So it has nothing to do with the content that we're putting out.

[1:25:39] Allison: No, it doesn't, but it still says, and it has something that I want to bring up.

[1:25:44] Andrew: Okay.

[1:25:44] Allison: A song I'd love to hear Glee cover in 2021.

[1:25:47] Andrew: Oh my god, that is so long ago.

[1:25:49] Allison: Would be any Taylor Swift song, POV, Quinn dates someone named John. He cheats on her or something, and he sings Dear John by Taylor Swift. Obviously.

[1:25:56] Andrew: And this is something that was brought up at the Glee-Up. Was um that I did a reputation episode of Glee, uh redacted with Taylor Swift songs.

[1:26:09] Allison: Yeah.

[1:26:10] Andrew: Reputation.

[1:26:11] Allison: And Reputation.

[1:26:13] Andrew: And in hindsight, I have a lot of new things to say about it. So one day when this strike is over.

[1:26:20] Allison: Right.

[1:26:20] Andrew: Maybe I will reveal what I think.

[1:26:26] Allison: Maybe you could do a Taylor Swift episode of the Glee Project.

[1:26:32] Andrew: The theme this week is Taylor Swift.

[1:26:36] Allison: Swift ability.

[1:26:37] Andrew: Swift ability. God.

[1:26:40] Allison: Swift ability. What would the homework assignment be?

[1:26:44] Andrew: Maybe this is getting ahead of ourselves. It would be our song.

[1:26:49] Allison: Our song is a slam a screen door now.

[1:26:52] Andrew: Like no one's a good one. Your window.

[1:26:54] Allison: And then I'm gonna assign all of the remaining Glee project members a Taylor Swift song.

[1:27:00] Andrew: All of them.

[1:27:00] Allison: What do you think about everybody's in the bottom three?

[1:27:04] Andrew: Mm-hmm.

[1:27:05] Allison: They're all getting their own solos.

[1:27:07] Andrew: Wow. That's kind of fun.

[1:27:10] Allison: Okay. That is the true country competition.
