[1:51] Andrew: Oh hey.
[1:52] Unknown speaker: Um my friends and I do PowerPoint night every so often.
[1:58] Unknown speaker: And um I was talking about what my PowerPoint was on, and PowerPoint night is basically you get 30 to 40 minutes, you're sitting there with your laptop.
[2:08] Andrew: That's a lot of t 30 to 40 minutes?
[2:11] Unknown speaker: Mm-hmm.
[2:12] Andrew: You have to create your PowerPoint in that span of time.
[2:15] Unknown speaker: That's that is a lot of time.
[2:17] Andrew: While you're drinking.
[2:18] Unknown speaker: Wait, but like, oh wait, oh you have okay, you have 30 to 40 minutes to create the entire point.
[2:18] Unknown speaker: To create the entire PowerPoint.
[2:25] Andrew: Not to present.
[2:26] Unknown speaker: No, the presentations end up being like maybe five to ten minutes.
[2:29] Andrew: Oh, that scared me.
[2:30] Unknown speaker: I was like, oh okay.
[2:31] Unknown speaker: This is no longer fun.
[2:33] Unknown speaker: 30 to 40 minutes to create an entire PowerPoint while drinking about any topic you want.
[2:40] Unknown speaker: And my topic was I shared water quality at the case study because my job revolves around water quality.
[2:47] Unknown speaker: And Jop Shift, Jop Shift.
[2:49] Andrew: Wait, you've you've announced JopShift on record.
[2:52] Unknown speaker: Yeah, I feel like I've told people, yeah, I've left zookeeping, I'm not a zookeeper anymore.
[2:56] Unknown speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2:57] Unknown speaker: It's no longer animal animals, it's more about elements.
[2:59] Andrew: Well, you've went from chemistry.
[3:02] Andrew: You went from to put it into um animation terms, something that I can understand more.
[3:07] Andrew: You went from zootopia to elemental.
[3:10] Unknown speaker: Yes.
[3:11] Unknown speaker: Basically, yeah.
[3:12] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[3:13] Unknown speaker: Um, I've never seen elemental, but I'm sure it's a great film.
[3:15] Unknown speaker: Um it's pretty good.
[3:17] Unknown speaker: I like.
[3:17] Unknown speaker: I like it.
[3:18] Andrew: Okay.
[3:19] Unknown speaker: Are they gonna make a Disney park out of it?
[3:22] Unknown speaker: Uh no, probably not, but it's still good.
[3:29] Unknown speaker: I wanna this is like a different conversation, but I want to know what like the lowest grossing movie that they still made a ride for at Disney World.
[3:38] Unknown speaker: Well, I guess like you need to like consider um what's it called?
[3:42] Unknown speaker: When uh over time, like uh how much like because like the bug's life got a ride, even though it didn't make or like Toy Story is like the lowest um box office like first weekend, and that has an entire lamb Mania Right.
[4:03] Unknown speaker: It's you gotta inflation is the word I'm thinking of.
[4:06] Andrew: Okay, okay, okay.
[4:07] Unknown speaker: GDP.
[4:08] Unknown speaker: So GDP.
[4:09] Unknown speaker: Whatever that means.
[4:09] Unknown speaker: What yeah, what is that?
[4:11] Unknown speaker: Gross domestic.
[4:14] Unknown speaker: Gross per capita.
[4:17] Unknown speaker: Grow.
[4:19] Unknown speaker: Oh, I don't know.
[4:21] Unknown speaker: I don't know what shitty pick it is.
[4:23] Unknown speaker: It's a running joke amongst my friends that I don't know what capitalism is.
[4:27] Unknown speaker: It's like, oh, did you did you use um only lowercase in that text message because you know I don't know what capitalism is?
[4:27] Unknown speaker: Capitalism.
[4:27] Unknown speaker: I don't know what it is.
[4:37] Unknown speaker: Uh but I'm under the understanding that we live in a society that uses it.
[4:41] Andrew: Wait, but there I did have a period of my life where um I was like purposefully not using caps letters at the beginning of my texts.
[4:53] Unknown speaker: I don't know.
[4:54] Unknown speaker: Why do people do that?
[4:55] Unknown speaker: I like it's scary now.
[4:56] Unknown speaker: Like I'm like, I hate that person.
[4:58] Unknown speaker: Like I was just like, I remember texting.
[5:00] Unknown speaker: I used to do that too.
[5:01] Unknown speaker: And I'm like And turning it off.
[5:02] Unknown speaker: Turning it off.
[5:03] Unknown speaker: It's like, well, not like you can go into settings and like turn off the auto caps, but I was just clicking that button at the beginning of every text.
[5:12] Unknown speaker: No, I don't want the capital A.
[5:14] Unknown speaker: I should turn off auto caps because sometimes it'll do like I'm like, oh hey, I'm going to trivia night with my friends, and then it'll capitalize T and N on trivia night.
[5:24] Unknown speaker: Like it's an event.
[5:26] Andrew: Oh, that's fine.
[5:27] Andrew: Trivia night.
[5:28] Unknown speaker: Wait, wait, what is there shame in that?
[5:30] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[5:31] Unknown speaker: It's an event.
[5:32] Unknown speaker: I get bullied.
[5:35] Unknown speaker: Why didn't you decapitalize trivia night?
[5:37] Unknown speaker: I thought you didn't believe in capitalism.
[5:39] Unknown speaker: Trivia night.
[5:39] Unknown speaker: I thought you didn't believe in capitalism.
[5:41] Unknown speaker: Well, you know what?
[5:42] Unknown speaker: I don't know what capitalism is.
[5:44] Unknown speaker: But capitalism is but I'm the under understanding that we're in one.
[5:50] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[5:50] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[5:50] Unknown speaker: Second time you've done this joke in like maybe three minutes.
[5:53] Unknown speaker: Kind of love it.
[5:54] Unknown speaker: Had to.
[5:56] Unknown speaker: For the people who missed it the first time.
[5:57] Unknown speaker: If they had to do, we will get back to this PowerPoint of it all.
[6:01] Unknown speaker: If there was a a capital capitality week of Glee Project.
[6:10] Andrew: Who's the most capitalist out of the four remaining books?
[6:14] Unknown speaker: Oh, that's a good question.
[6:17] Unknown speaker: I would say I think Alex spends the most money on hats and scarves and shoes.
[6:25] Unknown speaker: I don't know.
[6:26] Unknown speaker: The Lindsay fit in this week's episode with like the giant owl.
[6:31] Unknown speaker: Really, like that was capitalistic to me.
[6:33] Unknown speaker: I don't really understand what it is, but I from my understanding.
[6:38] Unknown speaker: That owl shirt is one.
[6:44] Unknown speaker: Um so where did how did we get there?
[6:49] Unknown speaker: Wait, yeah, wait, wait, let's go back to oh, because I said, sorry, that was my fault.
[6:53] Unknown speaker: It was entirely because I did the elemental zootopia.
[6:57] Unknown speaker: Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
[6:58] Unknown speaker: So um water qu it my PowerPoint was water quality analysis case study, and I talked about water quality, and I talked about a fake situation.
[7:07] Unknown speaker: My mic isn't even plugged in.
[7:09] Unknown speaker: I'm looking at my mic cord right now.
[7:12] Unknown speaker: Oh, and it's just it's loose.
[7:14] Unknown speaker: That's funny.
[7:14] Unknown speaker: Well, the intro is gonna sound a little different than the main thing.
[7:17] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[7:18] Unknown speaker: Um I oh I'm so like overstimulated right now.
[7:21] Unknown speaker: Um what's going on?
[7:22] Unknown speaker: You want to talk about it because we've got to take these pants off.
[7:25] Unknown speaker: I wanna I wanna put on sweatpants.
[7:27] Unknown speaker: I like and I've I've been sitting down all day and I just want to stand.
[7:32] Unknown speaker: So I think when we start the episode, I'm gonna be standing in sweatpants, everybody.
[7:35] Andrew: That's you wanna do that right now?
[7:37] Unknown speaker: No, I wanna I wanna tell you the story and then when when we start.
[7:41] Unknown speaker: When we let it be.
[7:42] Unknown speaker: Subconsciously, I think I have a mission to divert this conversation as many times as possible.
[7:47] Unknown speaker: You don't want to hear it.
[7:48] Andrew: No, I do want to hear it, but I want to see how many times we could like bring it back.
[7:51] Unknown speaker: It's almost like a challenge.
[7:54] Unknown speaker: Oh my god.
[7:56] Unknown speaker: So water quality analysis, and I told this fake story of um how I went on a site visit to see a well that was really high in radium.
[8:08] Andrew: When you say it's a fake story, sorry.
[8:10] Unknown speaker: I made this story up.
[8:12] Unknown speaker: You made this this is not a real thing that happened?
[8:14] Unknown speaker: No, no, no, no.
[8:15] Unknown speaker: The whole point of PowerPoint night is to make everybody go ha ha hoo-hoo.
[8:19] Unknown speaker: Like make everybody laugh.
[8:20] Unknown speaker: You can you can make people go ha ha hee-hoo with out with telling a real story.
[8:25] Unknown speaker: Yeah, but this I wanted to make a fake story.
[8:28] Andrew: Oh, wait, so is it like one of those like two truths and a lie?
[8:32] Unknown speaker: Like are they supposed to?
[8:34] Unknown speaker: It's just fake.
[8:37] Unknown speaker: I feel like I'm like your mom, and I'm like, so wait.
[8:42] Unknown speaker: What?
[8:43] Unknown speaker: This is a fake story.
[8:45] Unknown speaker: The fake story goes, I went on a well visit, like a like a site visit to see a well, and when I was there looking at the well, I saw these paw prints.
[8:53] Unknown speaker: Uh-huh.
[8:54] Unknown speaker: And I followed the paw prints.
[8:55] Unknown speaker: The fact that you're telling me that it's a fake story already, I'm like, well, then what's the point?
[9:01] Unknown speaker: Why do I want to hear this all the way through?
[9:06] Unknown speaker: And had been consuming the water that was so high in radium that they that the rats had mutated and developed consciousness, and these rats were chanting and dancing at the bottom of the and they were stinging and they had developed consciousness and they had developed a society and a religion.
[9:24] Unknown speaker: And they're in this religion, their god was none other than former governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie.
[9:24] Unknown speaker: Chris Christie.
[9:32] Unknown speaker: These rats worshipped Chris Christie, and they sang a song about how much they love Chris Christie.
[9:39] Unknown speaker: And I had Chat GPT make me a song, and all my whole friend group sat on the couch and sang this song about how much we love Chris Christie, even though that is not true.
[9:51] Andrew: Um none of that is real, except for the part of you having this job.
[9:56] Unknown speaker: Yes.
[9:58] Unknown speaker: So it's not entirely unfair.
[10:01] Unknown speaker: Entirely untrue, but it is not real.
[10:03] Andrew: Can I be completely transparent?
[10:06] Unknown speaker: And if this podcast is too much.
[10:07] Unknown speaker: Not funny.
[10:07] Andrew: It's not funny.
[10:08] Unknown speaker: No, no, no.
[10:10] Unknown speaker: Stop.
[10:11] Unknown speaker: You're putting the car before the horse.
[10:13] Unknown speaker: That is not what I was about to say.
[10:15] Unknown speaker: I was about I was about to be very vulnerable.
[10:17] Unknown speaker: Um I this is me finding out a a resident, by all means necessary resident of New Jersey, I guess from New Jersey.
[10:29] Unknown speaker: This is me finding out Chris Christie is no longer the governor of New Jersey.
[10:35] Andrew: I think he was the governor while you were there.
[10:38] Andrew: I think he's stopped being the governor since you left.
[10:41] Unknown speaker: So he's my he's like, he's like forever my governor.
[10:44] Unknown speaker: Exactly.
[10:44] Unknown speaker: He's your ex-governor.
[10:47] Unknown speaker: Um I've told you the time that I saw him on the New Jersey board ocean Ocean City New Jersey boardwalk.
[10:53] Andrew: I mean No way.
[10:55] Unknown speaker: How was that?
[10:55] Unknown speaker: Did you shake his hand?
[10:57] Unknown speaker: It was almost 10 years ago.
[10:58] Unknown speaker: It was like summer of 2014.
[11:02] Unknown speaker: Before his run for president.
[11:05] Andrew: Before his run for president.
[11:07] Unknown speaker: What did he say recently where he was like, Don you're not gonna be called Donald Trump, you're gonna be called Donald Duck.
[11:13] Unknown speaker: Because you're ducking these questions.
[11:15] Unknown speaker: Um iconic.
[11:18] Unknown speaker: Iconic.
[11:19] Unknown speaker: Vote for him specifically for that reason.
[11:21] Unknown speaker: Because he's hilarious.
[11:22] Unknown speaker: I was part of the Republican Party.
[11:23] Unknown speaker: I would vote for Jesus.
[11:25] Unknown speaker: And I saw I don't I think I sent this to you.
[11:29] Unknown speaker: Maybe I sent this to someone else.
[11:31] Unknown speaker: Where it was like the caption for that video was like when your grandma tells you like a comeback to say to the bullies at school.
[11:39] Unknown speaker: Exactly.
[11:40] Unknown speaker: This is what you should say to the bullies.
[11:42] Unknown speaker: Um okay.
[11:43] Unknown speaker: You're gonna be Donald Duck.
[11:44] Unknown speaker: You're gonna be Donald Duck.
[11:46] Unknown speaker: I saw him on the Ocean City boardwalk, and that was the at the point where I had the Kim Kardashian crying phone case.
[11:46] Unknown speaker: Kim Kardashian.
[11:55] Unknown speaker: Um and I remember uh me not being aware of politics in the slightest, and look how far I've come now.
[12:03] Unknown speaker: Um uh not aware that he's no longer the governor.
[12:08] Unknown speaker: Um I remember I took a picture with him and uh he saw the phone case and he said, Wow, that is very disconcerting.
[12:16] Unknown speaker: And then I went back to the car and I was like, oh, I didn't know what that meant.
[12:20] Unknown speaker: And I looked up what disconcerting meant, and I was like, oh, that wasn't like a compliment.
[12:24] Unknown speaker: That wasn't a compliment.
[12:25] Unknown speaker: It was like, oh.
[12:26] Unknown speaker: Oh.
[12:27] Unknown speaker: What would you do if you oh my gosh.
[12:32] Unknown speaker: I don't even want to ask this question.
[12:34] Andrew: No, go ahead.
[12:35] Unknown speaker: What?
[12:36] Unknown speaker: I don't want to ask it.
[12:38] Unknown speaker: What would you do if you saw him today?
[12:47] Andrew: I wouldn't like actively go up to him.
[12:50] Unknown speaker: I don't know.
[12:51] Unknown speaker: I think enough time is like enough time has passed where I'm like, I don't know, not to be like this, but like seeing people of note now in the wild really did a number on me a while, like a 10 years ago.
[13:05] Andrew: But now you're jaded now.
[13:07] Unknown speaker: I'm jaded now.
[13:08] Unknown speaker: And like that's annoying to say.
[13:09] Unknown speaker: But like I saw like fucking, like, who did I see?
[13:13] Andrew: Not like the guy, not the gay one.
[13:17] Unknown speaker: They're both gay.
[13:18] Andrew: We established that.
[13:19] Unknown speaker: We we've we've since and I think we we've talked about this exact situation.
[13:24] Andrew: Exactly.
[13:25] Unknown speaker: Who did I do?
[13:25] Andrew: We established that both of the guys were Will and Grace are gay.
[13:29] Unknown speaker: I'm not gonna no, I'm not gonna try to really prove myself by like saying, like, oh, who here's someone I saw on the street.
[13:33] Andrew: But I see people on the street, okay?
[13:35] Unknown speaker: Yeah, you live on the same block as goddamn Selena Gomez filming only murders.
[13:42] Andrew: Uh I don't live on the same block as her, but here I am backpedaling.
[13:47] Unknown speaker: I do live on the same block as um
[13:47] Andrew: You live on the same street.
[13:54] Unknown speaker: No, I on as Selene Gomez.
[13:55] Andrew: Only murders?
[13:55] Unknown speaker: Selena Gomez is uh a block down.
[14:00] Andrew: Oh my god.
[14:00] Unknown speaker: I'm angry.
[14:03] Andrew: Uh but I did realize this is a fun little thing that I put together in my head that I live in the same block radius as um two-time Oscar winner, Ellen Burstyn from The Exorcist.
[14:19] Unknown speaker: Have you seen The Exorcist?
[14:21] Andrew: Yeah.
[14:22] Unknown speaker: She throws up.
[14:24] Andrew: She throws up.
[14:25] Unknown speaker: You don't really need to see it.
[14:27] Andrew: Explain how I did it.
[14:31] Unknown speaker: So she's the she's the mother that they're kind of.
[14:34] Andrew: Oh no, no, no.
[14:34] Unknown speaker: She's the mother.
[14:35] Andrew: She's not the mother.
[14:36] Unknown speaker: Because no, because it's the child that's saying that to the priest.
[14:40] Andrew: So she that's not the mother that she's actually referring to.
[14:43] Unknown speaker: That's the ch so the child is being encompassed by the mother.
[14:47] Andrew: Not the priest's mother.
[14:48] Unknown speaker: The priest's mother is the one who does the children.
[14:50] Andrew: The child's mother.
[14:50] Unknown speaker: And so now Ellen Burstyn, who is, I think like 92 years old, is in the new Exorcist film as well.
[14:57] Andrew: And so she's just, she's like, okay.
[14:59] Unknown speaker: I'm just doing whatever.
[15:00] Andrew: So okay, the fun trivia thing.
[15:01] Unknown speaker: I'll I'll get to it.
[15:02] Andrew: Everyone's like, stop getting on fucking tangents.
[15:05] Unknown speaker: Ellen Burstyn, I live on I live on the same block radius as Ellen Burstyn, Elliot Page, and Ellie and Ellie Kemper.
[15:14] Andrew: And I'm like, oh, okay.
[15:16] Unknown speaker: Els.
[15:17] Andrew: Ellen.
[15:18] Unknown speaker: Ellen, Elliot, and Elle.
[15:20] Andrew: E.
[15:21] Unknown speaker: God.
[15:21] Andrew: Ellie.
[15:22] Unknown speaker: Ellie, Elliot, and Ellen.
[15:25] Andrew: That hurts my head to say that.
[15:28] Unknown speaker: And I and I think that they did they did that on purpose.
[15:31] Andrew: And I think that I've probably unlocked something.
[15:33] Unknown speaker: I think I I think I earn the right to like a treasure map now because I figured out something.
[15:38] Andrew: You know, I've unlocked.
[15:39] Unknown speaker: Yeah, I think they sell those like maps to the stars.
[15:43] Andrew: Right.
[15:43] Unknown speaker: You should be on it.
[15:44] Andrew: Or you should make the map because you know where they live.
[15:46] Unknown speaker: I don't know exactly where Ellie Kemper lives.
[15:49] Andrew: But they're in the in the block radius.
[15:51] Unknown speaker: I see her a lot.
[15:52] Andrew: I see her a lot.
[15:54] Unknown speaker: Can you ask her about things.
[15:56] Andrew: You say, hey.
[15:57] Unknown speaker: I do smile.
[16:01] Andrew: I smile at Ellen Burstyn.
[16:03] Unknown speaker: Ellen Burstyn, she fucking walks her dogs so late at night that I'm like, girl.
[16:11] Andrew: You're 92.
[16:12] Unknown speaker: You're 92.
[16:13] Andrew: First of all, find someone else to walk your dogs.
[16:15] Unknown speaker: It's like, well, don't be doing it this hour.
[16:18] Andrew: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[16:21] Unknown speaker: Scary.
[16:21] Andrew: I don't know.
[16:22] Unknown speaker: So I just smile at her and she smiles back, and I'm like, I'm I just want the smile to communicate like I'm not gonna kill you because I'm sure she must be thinking that.
[16:30] Andrew: Or maybe she isn't because she's doing this.
[16:33] Unknown speaker: Is she really afraid of anything?
[16:35] Andrew: That's that's true.
[16:36] Unknown speaker: She maybe you act in horror films.
[16:39] Andrew: Are you scared?
[16:41] Unknown speaker: Can people who act in horror films watch those films?
[16:44] Andrew: What if they're scared?
[16:45] Unknown speaker: What if they're scared?
[16:47] Andrew: Nev Campbell is like, can't watch those.
[16:50] Unknown speaker: Well, she doesn't do any of those films anymore, right?
[16:53] Andrew: Well, was she in Scream 6?
[16:55] Unknown speaker: I don't think she was in Scream Six.
[16:57] Andrew: The latest one.
[16:58] Unknown speaker: No, Nev Campbell wasn't in the latest one.
[17:01] Andrew: She was like, I don't, I don't get a I don't get paid enough.
[17:03] Unknown speaker: They offered me such a low price.
[17:05] Andrew: Give me more money.
[17:07] Unknown speaker: Give me more money.
[17:08] Andrew: Did you ever watch the TV show?
[17:10] Unknown speaker: We're not talking about TV, but like, have you did you ever watch the MC?
[17:13] Andrew: Hypothetically.
[17:14] Unknown speaker: Have I ever watched it?
[17:16] Andrew: No.

[17:19] Andrew: Okay.
[17:19] Unknown speaker: Have you?

[18:21] Andrew: What did I what did I even just say?
[18:24] Unknown speaker: Oh I remember I remember now you said the Chris Christie Chris Christie thing because you mentioned Chris Christie.
[18:36] Andrew: I went into the celebrity thing and here we are at horror movies.
[18:42] Unknown speaker: If I saw Chris Christie in real life I would simply go up to him and show him my Kim Kardashian film case.
[18:49] Andrew: Well you did see what he thought about this.
[18:52] Unknown speaker: You did see who did you see from the redacted Riverdale?
[18:57] Andrew: Oh Casey Cott.

[19:18] Unknown speaker: Do you think?
[19:19] Andrew: Uh no.
[19:20] Unknown speaker: Who would you stop?
[19:21] Andrew: That was just like a fun.
[19:23] Unknown speaker: I would stop Darren Criss for sure.
[19:25] Andrew: I would stop Darren Criss.
[19:26] Unknown speaker: I would stop anybody from the TV hit TV show Glee.
[19:29] Andrew: Right.
[19:30] Unknown speaker: Um, unless it's Diana Agron sitting in a restaurant nice.
[19:32] Andrew: Wait, I don't think we've ever told that story.
[19:34] Unknown speaker: Let's tell it.
[19:34] Andrew: Have we ever talked about that?
[19:36] Unknown speaker: That's really crazy that we really haven't.
[19:38] Andrew: Um, okay, so yeah, this kind of like really ground my gears that this even happened.
[19:45] Unknown speaker: That like we we were walking because we were walking to that pink restaurant in like Soho, I think.
[19:50] Andrew: And um Yeah, it's like what, 2017, and that one pink restaurant is blowing up on Instagram, Twitter, tech or TikTok.
[20:00] Unknown speaker: Yeah, is Tumblr still a little bit?
[20:02] Andrew: No, no, I don't think TikTok was a thing yet.
[20:04] Unknown speaker: So was it TikTok wasn't a thing yet?
[20:06] Andrew: So it no TikTok started in like 2018.
[20:10] Unknown speaker: Not college.
[20:11] Andrew: Thank God it was not a thing during our college years.
[20:14] Unknown speaker: So um So it must have been on Instagram or Pinterest or Tumblr or something, and so I wanted to go there, and so we took the train far out, right?
[20:25] Andrew: Mm-hmm to get to this restaurant, and we're walking down the street, and you must have you have like a radar for the Glee cast.
[20:33] Unknown speaker: I swear to God, because I did not see her at first.
[20:36] Andrew: There was a restaurant across the street from the pink restaurant, and the windows were wide open.
[20:44] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[20:44] Andrew: And Diana Agron, I I just happened to look into the restaurant, and Diana Agron is sitting at a table and she is facing the window, the street.
[20:57] Unknown speaker: The the sh the street that a gleeks happened to be walking on.
[21:01] Andrew: And right and me, a gleek literally looks in and I'm like, oh, well, there's there's Diana Agron.
[21:10] Unknown speaker: And so Diana Agron.
[21:12] Andrew: I talk with you, and I'm like, okay, well, we're gonna do this thing where we're just gonna like take a picture in front of the restaurant, and you're like, oh no, that's so that's so embarrassing.
[21:23] Unknown speaker: Like, oh my god, I really hate you, and I think I'm thinking I'm thinking about blocking you.
[21:27] Andrew: Um I I think oh yeah, that's how I was.
[21:27] Unknown speaker: That's how I was.
[21:32] Andrew: It's like, oh, here comes a bus.
[21:33] Unknown speaker: Let me push you in front of it.
[21:34] Andrew: And I just really didn't want to do that.
[21:38] Unknown speaker: And so then, but like, and I really tried to convince you because I was like, oh, like what if we just like because we walked ahead and we had this conversation, and we were like, okay, let's go back and like my headcanon was like, okay, if I get this picture in front of this restaurant and I like say things like, oh, here's like Uncle Ted's restaurant or something like that.
[21:58] Andrew: Like, and like we'll send this picture to Uncle Ted, like, oh my god, we're in front of your restaurant.
[22:05] Andrew: You know, if we just keep on saying like fucking Uncle Ted's restaurant, then Diana Agron's Uncle Ted's gonna love this.
[22:11] Unknown speaker: Then no one will think anything of it.
[22:12] Unknown speaker: He was such a gleek.
[22:14] Andrew: I mean, this is his restaurant.
[22:14] Unknown speaker: And we do have a picture.
[22:15] Andrew: I do have a picture, and I cannot wait to put it in the carousel next week.
[22:18] Unknown speaker: Because you did take a picture, but it's from far away.
[22:18] Andrew: It's from far away, and if you I'll like I'll do like a little like zoom in in the same yeah, carousel where you can see that it is um Diana Agron.
[22:21] Unknown speaker: Diana Agron.
[22:31] Andrew: Yeah, yeah.
[22:33] Unknown speaker: But we didn't even end up eating at that pink restaurant.
[22:36] Andrew: We walked in, looked at the menu, too expensive.
[22:38] Unknown speaker: We walked out.
[22:39] Andrew: Yeah.
[22:41] Unknown speaker: We we had taken the train far to get there.
[22:43] Andrew: I think we just we went we went to a pizza place around the corner after that.
[22:46] Unknown speaker: Oh yeah, that was good.
[22:47] Andrew: It was like a cute little neighborhood.
[22:49] Unknown speaker: Was that like a little bit more?
[22:50] Andrew: No, we that was actually Little Italy now that I think about it?
[22:53] Unknown speaker: I like that area, and we didn't go to Uncle Ted's because I'm Italian.
[22:53] Andrew: We didn't go to Uncle Ted's.
[22:58] Unknown speaker: Oh, but I love that.
[23:00] Andrew: Uncle Ted's.
[23:01] Unknown speaker: Why don't we just go to that restaurant?
[23:05] Andrew: No, that like that just stressed me out.
[23:09] Unknown speaker: I can't.
[23:09] Andrew: I can't go in there with her.
[23:11] Unknown speaker: I can't go in there there with her.
[23:14] Andrew: Literally everyone take a picture outside the restaurant.
[23:17] Unknown speaker: Every time that I see that she's posted something new, I'm like, literally, like, this is so fucking like cheese ball.
[23:22] Andrew: But like, I'm like, how dare you?
[23:24] Unknown speaker: How dare she post this?
[23:26] Andrew: It literally fucking feels illegal.
[23:28] Unknown speaker: And I want to comment that on every time that she posts that.
[23:30] Andrew: Oh my god.
[23:31] Unknown speaker: But I'm like, I don't want it to be misinterpreted.
[23:33] Andrew: Like, oh my god, like I don't want her to think that she fuck you.
[23:36] Unknown speaker: Delete this.
[23:38] Andrew: Delete this.
[23:39] Unknown speaker: I love you too much.
[23:40] Andrew: I can't see content from you.
[23:42] Unknown speaker: Why don't you just block her?
[23:44] Andrew: I can't.
[23:46] Unknown speaker: I can't.
[23:47] Andrew: I can't.
[23:53] Unknown speaker: Jen Russity.
[23:57] Andrew: Jenna City.
[23:59] Unknown speaker: Jenara City.
[24:03] Andrew: I just let someone in to the into the recording as I'm singing.
[24:07] Unknown speaker: Jen a ra.
[24:14] Andrew: Wow.
[24:15] Unknown speaker: That was probably your best one.
[24:17] Andrew: I really like that one.
[24:19] Unknown speaker: That was pretty good.
[24:20] Andrew: All of these, if you can't tell, are completely off the cuff and also gorgeous.
[24:24] Unknown speaker: So that improv is the best way to sing.
[24:27] Andrew: I've always said that.
[24:29] Unknown speaker: Yeah, these Glee Project contestants really should take notes.
[24:32] Andrew: When they're in the green rooms getting ready, I'm like, just fuck it.
[24:36] Unknown speaker: Just go out.
[24:37] Andrew: Just wing it.
[24:38] Unknown speaker: Just wing it.
[24:39] Andrew: Who cares?
[24:40] Unknown speaker: Swing it.
[24:40] Andrew: That's what I do.
[24:41] Unknown speaker: That's the best way to make music.
[24:43] Andrew: Um generosity.
[24:47] Unknown speaker: I this episode, like looking at my notes for this episode, I'm just like, ugh.
[24:53] Andrew: Is the whole point of reviewing something to be negative?
[24:57] Unknown speaker: I that's what I'm thinking as well.
[24:59] Andrew: Where I'm like, I'm just like, fuck.
[25:00] Unknown speaker: Every single episode, I'm just like, I hate this, I hate this, I hate that, I hate that.
[25:04] Andrew: And I just want everybody to know that um the only reason that we're talking about it is because we do like it.
[25:04] Unknown speaker: We do like it.
[25:12] Andrew: It occupies a big chunk of our fucking brains.
[25:15] Unknown speaker: But I think that it's like, okay, it's um what's going on?
[25:18] Andrew: You're you're taking the headphones off, you're hearing something.
[25:22] Unknown speaker: Let me make sure my door's locked.
[25:24] Andrew: Uh-oh.
[25:25] Unknown speaker: A gleek is in her apartment.
[25:27] Andrew: A gleek is in the room.
[25:28] Unknown speaker: It's coming from inside the house.
[25:30] Andrew: No, my windows are open and there's children.
[25:32] Unknown speaker: Uh gosh, children in this episode.
[25:36] Andrew: Children.
[25:37] Unknown speaker: Ew.
[25:38] Andrew: Um, yeah, I don't know.
[25:40] Unknown speaker: I yeah, because I feel the same way writing these notes where I'm like, am I just trying to be, am I just trying to like write a list of like quippy things about this this episode, trying to be funny, trying to be mean, trying to be snarky?
[25:51] Andrew: And I'm like, Right.
[25:52] Unknown speaker: No, I do actually like this.
[25:53] Andrew: I swear to you guys.
[25:54] Unknown speaker: Um, but what does generosity mean to you?
[25:59] Andrew: That is such a good question.
[26:01] Unknown speaker: What is this theme doing for real?
[26:05] Andrew: Like, all of my notes are mean.
[26:07] Unknown speaker: I I really don't want to come out here and just be angry and like say this is dumb, that's dumb.
[26:13] Andrew: Yeah.
[26:14] Unknown speaker: But like, what the fuck is this show doing?
[26:17] Andrew: Being generous to me means giving more than is expected.
[26:23] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[26:24] Andrew: And it implies a little a level of selfishness, selflessness.
[26:28] Andrew: I was about to argue with your opinion about generosity.
[26:34] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[26:35] Unknown speaker: What the fuck?
[26:36] Unknown speaker: I'm in the process of looking up what the past um weeks were because I feel okay.
[26:42] Unknown speaker: Continue, sorry.
[26:43] Andrew: No, generosity is so off the cuff.
[26:45] Andrew: How do you like sing a song and portray generosity?
[26:52] Unknown speaker: Um I mean, I guess that you could just be like thinking of others, which is like my definition of generosity.
[27:03] Unknown speaker: Where it's like, okay, you're when you're singing.
[27:07] Andrew: I'm listening.
[27:08] Unknown speaker: All I was asked was, what does generosity mean to you?
[27:12] Andrew: Okay.
[27:13] Unknown speaker: Like I think that's just what we do every week.
[27:17] Unknown speaker: We're not.
[27:19] Unknown speaker: We're not putting through the lens of singing.
[27:21] Andrew: Yeah, I sing at the beginning of every episode.
[27:26] Unknown speaker: But that's not what we're talking about here.
[27:28] Unknown speaker: Um, I think generosity to me is um, I have so many tabs open now.
[27:33] Unknown speaker: Um, generosity to me is just considering other people.
[27:38] Unknown speaker: Like you you don't really need to be doing anything.
[27:41] Unknown speaker: Um as I said earlier, I disagree with your opinion about generosity.
[27:47] Unknown speaker: You don't need to extend yourself too much.
[27:50] Unknown speaker: You just need to be considerate.
[27:52] Unknown speaker: Um, you just need to be considerate of the other person and just that much.
[27:57] Unknown speaker: Just think of others.
[27:59] Andrew: So, follow up question.
[28:00] Unknown speaker: Sure.
[28:01] Andrew: How can you be generous while singing?
[28:03] Unknown speaker: Great question.
[28:05] Unknown speaker: Um, to be generous while singing is to.
[28:10] Unknown speaker: I think that like Lindsay kind of understood being generous while singing.
[28:17] Unknown speaker: I don't really understand, to be frank with you.
[28:19] Unknown speaker: I don't understand how to be generous while singing.
[28:22] Unknown speaker: But while Lindsay was doing the homework assignment, she at least looked back and like considered that there were other people behind her.
[28:32] Andrew: Oh yeah, nice.
[28:34] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[28:35] Unknown speaker: Cool.
[28:35] Unknown speaker: There's other people here.
[28:36] Unknown speaker: I'm being generous.
[28:37] Unknown speaker: I'm being gen I'm right.
[28:40] Unknown speaker: My attention?
[28:40] Unknown speaker: I'm being genero right.
[28:42] Unknown speaker: I'm being generous with my attention.
[28:43] Unknown speaker: I'm not being selfish.
[28:45] Andrew: Okay.
[28:46] Andrew: Is generous the opposite of selfish?
[28:50] Unknown speaker: I I think.
[28:52] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[28:53] Unknown speaker: I think Miss Dodge.
[28:54] Andrew: Yeah.
[28:55] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[28:55] Unknown speaker: Are you like a kindergarten teacher?
[28:57] Unknown speaker: Okay, class.
[28:59] Unknown speaker: All right, friends.
[29:00] Unknown speaker: Now what do we think of when we think of the word generous?
[29:05] Unknown speaker: What is the opposite?
[29:07] Unknown speaker: We practiced opposites last week.
[29:08] Unknown speaker: What is opposite of generous?
[29:12] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[29:13] Unknown speaker: Opposite means the very, very different.
[29:17] Unknown speaker: Very, very different.
[29:19] Unknown speaker: Opposite means the opposite.
[29:20] Unknown speaker: You stupid kids.
[29:22] Unknown speaker: Oh my god.
[29:24] Unknown speaker: Oh my god.
[29:24] Unknown speaker: Principal Principal McGuire.
[29:27] Unknown speaker: I didn't know you were in the classroom.
[29:28] Unknown speaker: What are we talking?
[29:30] Unknown speaker: That isn't you're not being very generous with your with your emotion.
[29:35] Unknown speaker: Oh, I guess you are being I'm being selfish.
[29:39] Unknown speaker: Because that's the opposite of being generous.
[29:42] Unknown speaker: Right.
[29:43] Unknown speaker: This is a conversation that completely makes sense.
[29:46] Unknown speaker: Um but I, yeah, I don't know.
[29:50] Unknown speaker: I truly I don't know.
[29:51] Unknown speaker: I don't generosity.
[29:53] Unknown speaker: They're they're considering.
[29:54] Unknown speaker: I don't know.
[29:55] Unknown speaker: They're just being generous with the performance.
[29:58] Unknown speaker: Um, but I was looking up what other weeks that we've had so far, and we've had like things that have been kind of similar, I feel, with like pairability and I guess sexuality to uh a certain degree where it's like you're just working with other people.
[30:20] Andrew: Right?
[30:21] Unknown speaker: Right, not sexuality.
[30:23] Unknown speaker: I I don't want to put sexuality in that category, but like parability where it's like you're thinking.
[30:28] Unknown speaker: Eduardo, you're saying being a generous lover, it does fit.
[30:32] Unknown speaker: You're right, actually.
[30:35] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[30:35] Unknown speaker: I still don't get it.
[30:36] Unknown speaker: I kind of need the creators and executive producers of the Glee Project to tell me.
[30:42] Unknown speaker: But um Oh, what was I gonna say?
[30:46] Unknown speaker: Well, I don't think that even if they were if they were to come on and we were to ask them that question, like, hey, what is what does generosity mean?
[30:46] Andrew: Generosity mean.
[30:55] Unknown speaker: In a performance, I think that they would be just as dumbfounded as us.
[30:58] Unknown speaker: And so, but we look like I forgot that was a thing.
[31:01] Unknown speaker: We look like the fucking idiots because we're the ones that are we're the ones talking about it.
[31:06] Unknown speaker: We the ones that have to have to dissect it as an audience member.
[31:11] Unknown speaker: And Brennan, and Brennan, what's generosity to mean to you?
[31:14] Unknown speaker: And while you're at it, can you explain capitalism to me?
[31:17] Unknown speaker: Please.
[31:18] Unknown speaker: I've never really gotten it.
[31:20] Unknown speaker: I've never really understood it.
[31:21] Unknown speaker: Can you break it down?
[31:25] Unknown speaker: Explain it in pop terms.
[31:27] Unknown speaker: Um, so I think before we even start recapping this episode, there is a subtext of an episode that is happening all the while in this episode.
[31:38] Unknown speaker: In the top right corner of the episode.
[31:41] Unknown speaker: I have that written down.
[31:42] Unknown speaker: We have a countdown clock because I remember watching this, these episode in the finale aired back to back on the Oxygen Network.
[31:51] Unknown speaker: And so in the top right corner, there is a countdown clock starting at an hour.
[31:55] Unknown speaker: They're saying like how long until the finale begins.
[31:59] Unknown speaker: And it stays there.
[32:00] Unknown speaker: Like you would think, like, okay, sure enough, we understand that, like, you know, two minutes ago it said 57 minutes.
[32:06] Unknown speaker: We understand it's 55.
[32:08] Unknown speaker: No, it's there.
[32:09] Unknown speaker: It's constantly counting down.
[32:10] Unknown speaker: It's constantly counting down.
[32:11] Unknown speaker: And um every time that we return from a commercial break, uh, a newly project um contestant, current or past, uh, will um deliver the countdown clock.
[32:24] Unknown speaker: So we will have um, I think I wrote down that we have Marissa, Alex, and Hannah as the three um contestants that deliver the countdown clock.
[32:35] Unknown speaker: And I just think it's hilarious, and it will be in the carousel.
[32:40] Andrew: That is good.
[32:41] Andrew: I do appreciate that.
[32:42] Unknown speaker: It did stress me out just to like know how much of the episode I had left and looking at my notes.
[32:47] Unknown speaker: Like, I haven't said one positive thing about this episode, and I've got 15 minutes left.
[32:51] Andrew: Right, exactly.
[32:53] Unknown speaker: And then we have that in the top right corner, and then in the bottom right corner.
[32:57] Unknown speaker: It's like blog stuff.
[32:59] Unknown speaker: Like to find out what Damien's favorite food is.
[33:04] Unknown speaker: Check it out on Damien's blog on Oxygen.com.
[33:09] Unknown speaker: At one point it was if you want to find more pictures of Lindsay, go to Oxygen.com.
[33:16] Unknown speaker: And I was like, oh, oh no.
[33:18] Unknown speaker: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[33:21] Unknown speaker: But I do think that the people that were delivering that really stole the show, being that it was Cameron and Emily, the way that they walked out and then kind of like strutted back off screen.
[33:35] Andrew: Very hilarious.
[33:36] Unknown speaker: Mm-hmm.
[33:37] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[33:38] Unknown speaker: Um the homework assignment was lean on me.
[33:44] Andrew: They walk out, they see generosity.
[33:46] Unknown speaker: Woo!
[33:47] Unknown speaker: Lean on me classic.
[33:49] Unknown speaker: Fucking freak out.
[33:51] Unknown speaker: And immediately, lean on me, I'm triggered.
[33:54] Unknown speaker: Because it's and I wanted practice some exposure therapy with you and the Gleeks in the chat.
[34:00] Unknown speaker: And I can't pull it up on my computer because it's a new computer and I have to give Zoom permissions to share sound.
[34:07] Unknown speaker: I haven't been able to share sound.
[34:09] Unknown speaker: I would like you to go to YouTube and share something with the class and have a channel.
[34:14] Unknown speaker: I already know what it would like.
[34:16] Unknown speaker: I would like to watch Darren Chris's Glee Audition.
[34:20] Unknown speaker: It is something I avoid at every chance I get.
[34:25] Unknown speaker: Oh, but here we are.
[34:27] Unknown speaker: But I really want to work through it with a team of people that support me, such as these people in this chat right now.
[34:34] Unknown speaker: I will say I do think that the um the title of this ep of this uh video is can you see it?
[34:43] Unknown speaker: Yes.
[34:44] Unknown speaker: Yes, Darren Chris's Glee Audition, amazing.

[35:07] Unknown speaker: Look at that smile.
[35:09] Unknown speaker: Uh be involved in writing music and I love his hair so much.
[35:13] Unknown speaker: But you didn't like this video.
[35:15] Unknown speaker: I don't like the singing.
[35:16] Unknown speaker: I really don't like his version of this song.
[35:19] Unknown speaker: Um and put him on YouTube, so uh that's something I really like to do.
[35:22] Unknown speaker: Look at his apartment.
[35:23] Unknown speaker: Um I would love to be a part of Glee because it's such a celebration of the underdog, and um it really empowers all us real singing, dancing actually.
[35:34] Unknown speaker: Imagine sitting next to Ryan Murphy watching that.
[35:37] Unknown speaker: Like scene special money size for all of us in mainstream culture and a place to feel excited and accepted about the things that sort of make us who we are.
[35:46] Unknown speaker: Um, although we're crazy.
[35:48] Unknown speaker: Oh, you're so cute.
[35:49] Unknown speaker: Oh, I hate him.
[35:51] Unknown speaker: Oh my god.
[35:52] Unknown speaker: And now comes the best.
[35:54] Unknown speaker: He sings some times in our lives.
[35:59] Unknown speaker: We all have pain.
[36:02] Unknown speaker: We all have sorrow.
[36:06] Unknown speaker: But if we are wise Oh god we know that there's always too much.
[36:21] Unknown speaker: Wait, this is not that bad.
[36:23] Unknown speaker: Yeah, what's going on?
[36:24] Unknown speaker: I don't do care, we all for it won't be long.
[36:31] Unknown speaker: Wait, so I'm gonna need somebody to leave.
[36:40] Unknown speaker: Swallowing up pride.
[36:42] Unknown speaker: If I have things that you need to buy wrong for no one can fail.
[36:52] Unknown speaker: Wait.
[36:53] Unknown speaker: Those of your knees.
[36:54] Unknown speaker: This is good.
[36:56] Unknown speaker: That you won't let show.
[37:02] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[37:02] Unknown speaker: When you need a hand, because we all need somebody.
[37:07] Unknown speaker: I guess we're watching this whole thing.
[37:09] Unknown speaker: Yeah, it's not that long.
[37:11] Unknown speaker: Have a problem that you understand.
[37:15] Unknown speaker: We all need somebody to leave on me.
[37:22] Unknown speaker: We are not strong.
[37:24] Unknown speaker: I'll be your friend.
[37:27] Unknown speaker: I'll help you carry all for you won't belong.
[37:37] Unknown speaker: Somebody in all you can call on a brother when you need a hand.
[37:46] Unknown speaker: Cause we all need somebody to step back.
[37:51] Unknown speaker: I'm ready to talk about it.
[37:56] Unknown speaker: We all need somebody to lean, she knows.
[38:05] Unknown speaker: No, I guess not you have to bear that you can kill out right up the road.
[38:15] Unknown speaker: And I'll say alone if you just call me.
[38:15] Unknown speaker: Call me.
[38:24] Unknown speaker: You can just call me.
[38:27] Unknown speaker: Call me if you need a friend, call.
[38:33] Unknown speaker: Call me.
[38:36] Unknown speaker: Oh, oh no.
[38:38] Unknown speaker: Oh no.
[38:38] Unknown speaker: Stop that.
[38:39] Unknown speaker: Call me.
[38:40] Unknown speaker: Anytime you friend can lean on me.
[38:43] Unknown speaker: Oh, he's so what year was he born?
[38:47] Unknown speaker: What do you mean?
[38:49] Unknown speaker: What yeah, what year was he born?
[38:50] Unknown speaker: Um, I'm so millennial.
[38:53] Unknown speaker: Like deep cut.
[38:54] Unknown speaker: That is the most millennial man I've ever seen.
[38:57] Unknown speaker: I feel like a lot of things just happened for you.
[39:00] Unknown speaker: Do you want to talk it through?
[39:02] Unknown speaker: Why?
[39:02] Unknown speaker: He was born in 1987.
[39:04] Unknown speaker: So I don't think that is that millennial.
[39:07] Unknown speaker: It's a millennial.
[39:07] Unknown speaker: Oh, okay.
[39:08] Unknown speaker: Yeah, yeah.
[39:09] Unknown speaker: Him and Taylor Swift.
[39:10] Unknown speaker: They do the same little gestures.
[39:12] Unknown speaker: Same little gestures, like, mm-hmm.
[39:14] Unknown speaker: Call me.
[39:16] Unknown speaker: Like, any different?
[39:19] Unknown speaker: That lucky did at the end.
[39:22] Unknown speaker: Um, that wasn't as bad as I remember.
[39:25] Unknown speaker: I really truly hated it.
[39:28] Unknown speaker: Like, I there was a Tumblr thread that was um 31 days of Darren Miss or something.
[39:48] Unknown speaker: Oh, I'm big, dumb dumb one gum cum. Um, it was uh 31 different recordings, live recordings of him, and a lot of them he must have done like an acoustic set at the Grove at a restaurant at the Grove with Charlene Kay, and um so there's a lot of recordings from that, and there's a lot of recordings that I really love from that set um before he was on Glee.
[40:19] Unknown speaker: And this was one of the 31 Days of Christmas.
[40:22] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[40:22] Unknown speaker: Darren.
[40:23] Unknown speaker: And Darren Miss.
[40:27] Unknown speaker: And a very merry Darren Miss.
[40:29] Unknown speaker: Um I would always skip it because I really just really didn't like it. I didn't think it was very good. I was like, oh god. But now watching that, that was great. I mean, like, all I I'm I'm positive that I've seen this at some point before. I'm I feel like I must have actively avoided it because of your scathing opinion of it.
[40:55] Andrew: Yeah, I really did not like it.
[40:57] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[40:57] Andrew: For a long time. And I think that it brought down Lean on Me on the Glacket. I remember our conversation about Lean on Me, and I remember it kind of being really um negative just because someone Darren's audition. Someone covered it and it really hurt you.
[41:17] Unknown speaker: I didn't think it was like that terrible. Like, yeah, like I'm not the biggest Darren Criss fan, and like that's I don't know, an encapsulation of his whole shtick.
[41:28] Andrew: That is him as a bit.
[41:30] Unknown speaker: Right. Like that whole video.
[41:32] Andrew: Yeah.
[41:32] Unknown speaker: Is like him.
[41:34] Andrew: Um, but I don't think it was terrible. I think I would go as far to say that I like it. Do I like it better than the redacted version? I think I definitely like it better than the Glee Project version, but I don't know.
[41:50] Unknown speaker: I like I don't think I like it better than the redacted.
[41:53] Andrew: Okay.
[41:53] Unknown speaker: Do you?
[41:55] Andrew: I'm I need to listen to it.
[42:01] Unknown speaker: No, because I like I I like the redacted version. I'm not gonna say that to the redacted version. Because I think I was the only person that voted for the redacted version when it came to the Glacket because that was against Yeah, what was against it? Bad.
[42:10] Unknown speaker: And oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
[42:13] Andrew: I just I remember I when we pulled that, and I was like, oh, Lean on Me will win because um it's like a nostalgia play. Whereas like, okay, this one will win, even though bad is a great uh performance, but I'm happy with bad going through.
[42:31] Unknown speaker: Anyway, lean on me.
[42:35] Andrew: Do we wanna do we want to talk about it? Do we want to talk about the Glee Project?
[42:39] Unknown speaker: Um I mean, not really.
[42:42] Andrew: Okay.
[42:43] Unknown speaker: No, I do, I do, I do, I do.
[42:45] Andrew: This is supplemental.
[42:46] Unknown speaker: This is supplemental for the class.
[42:48] Andrew: This is a whole episode.
[42:49] Unknown speaker: I know, I mean, like, do we don't even have a whole episode of tangents?
[42:52] Andrew: Wait, I do want to stop you before you go any further because we do have a bonus episode to fill.
[42:52] Unknown speaker: We do.
[42:59] Andrew: Okay. We don't have anything, any content for that.
[43:03] Unknown speaker: That is true.
[43:03] Andrew: Let me just you can do whatever you want, though.
[43:06] Unknown speaker: I'm gonna check that if it's on here.
[43:08] Unknown speaker: Um so what did you think of the Glee Project version of the.
[43:14] Andrew: No, you do whatever you need to do. We're not gonna be having two different conversations.
[43:22] Unknown speaker: Um I'm finding a lot of Cameron Mitchell on here.
[43:28] Unknown speaker: Um, yep, here it is. 31 days of Dare and Miss.
[43:32] Unknown speaker: Oh, there's a lot on here.
[43:34] Andrew: Okay, we'll talk about let's talk about this in the bonus episode, honestly.
[43:38] Unknown speaker: This is fun.
[43:39] Andrew: Okay. I'll play you some. Where's Lean on Me?
[43:41] Unknown speaker: There it is.
[43:42] Unknown speaker: Okay. Two minutes and 52 seconds. Zero plays. Perfect.
[43:46] Unknown speaker: Um God.
[43:49] Andrew: So Samuel says, let's get back to it, everybody. Stop clowning around.
[43:55] Unknown speaker: God.
[43:56] Andrew: Samuel says this competition consumes me every day.
[44:01] Unknown speaker: Well, yeah.
[44:01] Andrew: And I'm like, well, damn sure hope it does. Because you live there.
[44:05] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[44:07] Andrew: And you're doing it every day.
[44:09] Unknown speaker: Right.
[44:10] Andrew: And you're you're living there and you're in the middle of the year.
[44:12] Unknown speaker: You're living there.
[44:13] Andrew: I do.
[44:14] Unknown speaker: Um, there was like when they first walk in, they see Lean on Me. Again, we're 22 minutes into this record recap. And here I am talking about when they walk in and see the song.
[44:23] Unknown speaker: When they walk in and Alex starts singing, lean on me. And then it cuts to a talking head of Alex, and he's like, I really don't have anybody to lean on. And I'm like, the complexity of humankind.
[44:45] Andrew: I didn't know that Alex and Hannah were so close.
[44:51] Unknown speaker: No, but that makes sense.
[44:52] Andrew: That makes perfect sense.
[44:53] Unknown speaker: Like I don't get sense.
[44:55] Andrew: I was thinking that too. I was like, we didn't really get to see that a lot. I think that what we were shown of Hannah's relationships was her kind of feud with Samuel and her kind of crush with Damien.
[45:06] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[45:06] Andrew: And kind of getting mad at Lindsay.
[45:10] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[45:11] Andrew: She wasn't allowed a very big personality, which is annoying.
[45:16] Unknown speaker: Um and we've talked about this before, but I swear to God, these guests come straight from the set.
[45:28] Andrew: Well, I was watching the Yeah. I was watching the episode with Elias, and because they do the thing where they they get the props and they just like show like little teases of who is it gonna be.
[45:40] Unknown speaker: And so he he sees the glasses and uh the person smudging the glasses and everything cleaning the glasses and everything and he's like is the is the mentor Cameron Mitchell and I'm like God could you imagine if like two episodes later they're like power move power guess who's your coach Cameron Mitchell actually we gave him a part on Glee even though he left exactly galaxy brained this entire competition Oh my god Um that'd be incredible
[45:40] Andrew: Yeah No it's Kevin McHale Kevin McHale we love that guy I love him we love that guy and the magic comb and the magic comb which I'm like okay I'm I mean like Lindsay uh you were you're you're catching that reference which I feel like is a little bit more of an obscure reference but you don't know maybe this time but you don't know maybe this time and I'm like hmm the Gleek card isn't checking out Lindsay
[45:40] Unknown speaker: Yeah baby What do you think?
[46:45] Andrew: I'm gonna need you I'm gonna need you to get it recertified, babe.
[46:49] Unknown speaker: Yeah, did you ever rewatch season one before season two, bitch?
[46:53] Andrew: Try to bitch.
[46:56] Unknown speaker: That seems like why are we so negative?
[46:59] Andrew: Like I don't mean we are so negative because this is uh I don't know.
[47:04] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[47:04] Andrew: I'm just an angry person and I I this is how I can take it out.
[47:09] Unknown speaker: So obviously exactly, I know.
[47:11] Andrew: And so we it unfortunately millions upon millions of people are forced to listen to us at our worst every week.
[47:17] Unknown speaker: Yeah, they stream this loudly over over the loudspeakers at sporting events.
[47:26] Andrew: Exactly.
[47:30] Unknown speaker: What did you think of this performance? Who was your MVP of Lean On Me?
[47:38] Andrew: I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad about this performance. It's not uh terrible. It's not week one. You know what I mean? These people are in week number nine uh for a reason.
[47:53] Unknown speaker: Um I do agree that Lindsay was the best.
[47:58] Andrew: Really in my book.
[47:59] Unknown speaker: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
[48:00] Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[48:02] Unknown speaker: I'm over Samuel's bit at this point.
[48:04] Andrew: I'm over Samuel's bit.
[48:05] Unknown speaker: I think that Samuel and Lindsay were the the weaker of the of the four.
[48:09] Andrew: Spoiler alert, but I easily think that Samuel could have gone home this week.
[48:13] Unknown speaker: That's so interesting.
[48:15] Andrew: Because I was gonna ask that at the end of this episode. Maybe we wait for it, but like who Okay, we'll wait for it.
[48:20] Unknown speaker: Who is the person that you think was the person to go home this week, potentially?
[48:25] Andrew: Would have been Samuel for me. But we'll get to it.
[48:28] Unknown speaker: We'll get to it.
[48:29] Andrew: Um I even like Kevin saying, like, oh yeah, we're all a family, we support each other.
[48:41] Unknown speaker: Is that what generosity is?
[48:44] Andrew: But even him saying that, it's like, again, I just want to be a fly on the wall in in that little like minivan when they're brain Kevin over from the Glee set.
[48:56] Unknown speaker: I want it, I want to know the information that's passed along to him about what he's about to do.
[49:01] Andrew: And it's like, are they just like handing him like, please tell them that you guys are all friends?
[49:08] Unknown speaker: Because the unfortunately, Kevin McHale, a great actor, was unable, it was was phoning that in.
[49:15] Andrew: Right. I'm like, okay, you're just saying like, yes, we are so we we lean on each other all the times and when times get rough.
[49:24] Unknown speaker: And I'm like, I don't believe that for a second, Kevin McHale. Tell me the truth.
[49:29] Andrew: Exactly.
[49:30] Unknown speaker: Exactly.
[49:32] Andrew: I think that um Damien was was actually Damien.
[49:37] Unknown speaker: My number one.
[49:38] Andrew: Yeah, and like I think it was odd because this is a very me, me who who has been very against Damien.
[49:45] Unknown speaker: Anti Damien.
[49:46] Andrew: This is the episode that I'm like everything that Damien did in this episode, I was like, I see it.
[49:51] Unknown speaker: I see the vision.
[49:53] Andrew: Mm-hmm.
[49:54] Unknown speaker: I yeah, I I will comment on that later in the episode.
[49:57] Andrew: Okay.
[49:58] Unknown speaker: Um but I thought like this is the first time I actually thought like oh awkward Kevin's meeting all four of these people and he's judging them but then he has to go and work with them like as equals yeah like how how if you won a contest how would you feel on the set amongst people that have one been there for longer than you and two had just a different entrance process than you like a full audition regular acting process.
[50:30] Andrew: It is jarring a weird dynamic.
[50:33] Unknown speaker: I did appreciate the way that Kevin approached the competition aspect of it where he initially said like I wish that I could give it all four of you four way tired.
[50:44] Andrew: Oh, exactly.
[50:45] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[50:46] Andrew: King of foreshadowing.
[50:47] Unknown speaker: Not king of acting in in this in this situation.
[50:47] Andrew: In this situation.
[50:51] Unknown speaker: But, you know, I just like that like little like disclaimer at the beginning where he's like, you know, hey, like, I don't want to be putting this in this situation, but here I am, Lindsay, I guess.
[51:01] Andrew: And I'm like, okay, but whatever.
[51:04] Unknown speaker: Um, it should have been Damien.
[51:07] Andrew: Yeah.
[51:09] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[51:11] Andrew: Um.
[51:13] Unknown speaker: So Lindsay wins the competition.
[51:17] Andrew: And the only reason Zach Woodley's here this week is to tell the kids what instruments they're playing.
[51:27] Unknown speaker: And that they've never played before.
[51:29] Andrew: Right.
[51:29] Unknown speaker: There is some choreography.
[51:31] Andrew: I mean, but the main shtick up until I mean the choreography is audio medium strumming my guitar and hip-hopping back and forth.
[51:39] Unknown speaker: No, but they do do choreography in the music video.
[51:43] Andrew: Like toward the end of the music video, there is like a whole segment that the children, that's the bigger shtick.
[51:50] Unknown speaker: The children are also involved in the choreography, but we did not see them rehearsing.
[51:54] Andrew: I think that they had a lot of places to go in this episode, um, and they just didn't have time to cover everything.
[52:00] Unknown speaker: And there were a few things that got cut, and I think them actually choreography uh doing the choreography for this didn't make the final edit of this episode.
[52:10] Unknown speaker: But um, yeah, so they have to do, um, they each need to do an instrument. Samuel's the only person that actually knows how to do any instrument, he knows how to do like a whole shit ton.
[52:20] Unknown speaker: Um does he, or does he just know guitar?
[52:23] Unknown speaker: He said like he like listed like because like they were like, who knows how to do an instrument here? Sam is the only one that raises his hand, and then it goes to a cutting uh talking head of um him being like, I know guitar, I know drums, I know he he like knew like four or five different instruments, but I don't think he knew keyboard as made evident in this episode.
[52:45] Andrew: Yeah, he's keyboard, Damien is drums, Alex's bass guitar, and Lindsay's lead guitar. Um at first I'm like, why are we playing instruments?
[52:57] Andrew: What's the bit here?
[52:59] Unknown speaker: Right.
[52:59] Andrew: Um, and then the kids show up, and I'm like, oh, generosity week.
[53:06] Unknown speaker: Like this.
[53:07] Andrew: What about the children?
[53:08] Unknown speaker: It didn't make sense until right now.
[53:09] Andrew: What okay? Explain this to me, because I'm not getting it started.
[53:12] Unknown speaker: Being generous to kids, like, oh, let me share my talent with you. Let me share my knowledge, let me teach you.
[53:19] Andrew: Teaching is very generous.
[53:21] Unknown speaker: They because they have me with the instruments, like the fact that Kevin McHale talked about um, like how like Kevin doesn't play guitar, but Artie does, and I'm like, okay, I understand that like maybe one of feasibly one of their characters that they're playing would need to know how to play an instrument, you know.
[53:41] Andrew: Um but where they lose me is that they bring in these children as part of training to be on Glee, and I'm like, wait a way, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[53:53] Unknown speaker: Uh what I understand about this redacted television series is that yeah, they're playing children, but they're not working with actual kids.
[54:01] Andrew: Right?
[54:02] Unknown speaker: What's the Yeah, I guess it makes sense in the context of the music video.
[54:05] Andrew: Like the musical instruments in the kids don't make sense outside of sing for me.
[54:10] Unknown speaker: Mm-hmm.
[54:11] Andrew: Like, I guess a little bit generosity with the kids, but like, yeah, when you're gonna be on the TV show Glee, maybe it's just like how do you deal with people that are babies?
[54:24] Unknown speaker: Like on the show Glee, big old babies.
[54:27] Andrew: Big old babies, children.
[54:30] Unknown speaker: Um you think this child is hard?
[54:34] Andrew: Wait until you work with Lea Michele.
[54:39] Unknown speaker: Um, more like uh how do you work with people that are different than you?
[54:45] Andrew: Sure.
[54:46] Unknown speaker: Different communication styles, different comfort, like Alex obviously like kind of falls flat on his face in this episode.
[54:55] Andrew: And I know that I've been like um a broken record about like how like about a lot of these different um assignments where I'm like, how how is this training them to be on the show Glee when we know what the outcome of a lot of these characters are and they're not actually forced to do much of anything.
[55:09] Unknown speaker: Um but I do think that it's good general training for like just entertainment industry.
[55:16] Andrew: It's like okay, like this is something that might come up later, and you are a young person, and we're essentially giving you like a a boot camp of like how to deal with different things.
[55:27] Unknown speaker: So Hollywood boot camp is what the show should have been called.
[55:30] Andrew: Right.
[55:30] Unknown speaker: And it's like we don't actually know what we're auditioning for.
[55:33] Andrew: Um so uh the kids.
[55:36] Unknown speaker: The kids show up, and okay, what do we think about these?
[55:40] Andrew: The kids, okay, but it's also under the um like it's important to note that it's they're all kids from this school that is disadvantaged because they're art program.
[55:51] Unknown speaker: What are what are we supposed to understand here?
[55:53] Andrew: I think it's a school that's supported by the arts in the schools program that the Glee Project is sponsoring and talking about this week.
[56:02] Unknown speaker: Um so we've got Lindsay's mini me, basically.
[56:08] Andrew: Like, oh my gosh, like you were you were Wendy and Peter Pan, so was I.
[56:12] Unknown speaker: I was Wendy and Peter Pan when I was her age.
[56:15] Andrew: We have Samuel, who's just like, yeah, man, you're cool.
[56:21] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[56:22] Andrew: I liked that.
[56:24] Unknown speaker: He was he was cool, dad to me.
[56:26] Andrew: Yeah.
[56:27] Unknown speaker: Damien was like, this child is an inspiration. We should really respect kids.
[56:32] Andrew: Kids are the future.
[56:34] Unknown speaker: And then Alex is just like the bit.
[56:36] Andrew: Oh my god.
[56:37] Unknown speaker: The bit where they're talking, and then they stop talking, and then Alex is just like.
[56:43] Andrew: Do you want to sing?
[56:44] Unknown speaker: How about we sing now?
[56:49] Andrew: Oh my god, that's so good.
[56:51] Unknown speaker: But my one complaint about these kids is that Samuel, Damien, Lindsay and Alex go in the studio with Nikki, and Nikki's got a lot of notes for him.
[57:05] Andrew: Yeah.
[57:05] Unknown speaker: Kids get in the studio, not a single note.
[57:08] Andrew: You did great.
[57:09] Unknown speaker: They were pitchy.
[57:10] Andrew: They were pitchy.
[57:12] Unknown speaker: Here's my headcanon.
[57:13] Andrew: Nikki didn't even press the record button.
[57:16] Unknown speaker: Exactly.
[57:16] Andrew: Nikki used fucking AI to make it singing.
[57:21] Unknown speaker: She was like, okay, I'm gonna record now.
[57:24] Andrew: And then she was like, boop, boom, and she made the noise of that.
[57:29] Unknown speaker: And then she just records the actual contestants in like chipmunk mode.
[57:34] Andrew: And that's the kids singing.
[57:36] Unknown speaker: Okay, it really took me out because when the kids initially come out, goes to a cutting, uh, why do I keep on saying cutting head?
[57:42] Andrew: I don't like that visual.
[57:43] Unknown speaker: Talking it cuts to a talking head of Lindsay saying they're all mini me's, and I'm like, I'm looking at the same kids as you are, Lindsay.
[57:52] Andrew: These are not mini, whoever you think they are.
[57:55] Unknown speaker: No, they are.
[57:55] Andrew: There's no dreadlocks among them.
[57:57] Unknown speaker: Right.
[57:58] Andrew: It's like, what the hell are we talking about?
[58:00] Unknown speaker: These are just children.
[58:01] Andrew: They're not they, I think, I don't know.
[58:03] Unknown speaker: I'm just like, this is not helping Lindsay's case because she's just like, they're miniature me.
[58:08] Andrew: And it's like, no, it's not about you anymore.
[58:10] Unknown speaker: It's their children.
[58:12] Andrew: We're supposed to be generous and focus on them, Lindsay.
[58:14] Unknown speaker: It's the theme of the fucking week.
[58:16] Andrew: Did anybody think that Lindsay was beefing with the child?
[58:19] Unknown speaker: I thought there was a little bit of beef between them.
[58:21] Andrew: A little bit of beef.
[58:21] Unknown speaker: I mean, I think Lindsay is a little bit beefing with every single person on this show.
[58:26] Andrew: I think that the edit just like kind of makes me think of makes it as they're like at like they go it goes to a cutting head of Lindsay where she says she's just like me, really smart and really talented.
[58:40] Unknown speaker: And I'm like, girl, stop it.
[58:43] Andrew: Stop saying things like this.
[58:46] Unknown speaker: Oh my god.
[58:48] Andrew: Um, yeah, the kids were fun.
[58:51] Unknown speaker: Um, where's their notes?
[58:56] Andrew: Little pitchy, and we need to like introduce them to the realism.
[58:59] Unknown speaker: If you're gonna raise kids to want to be in the music industry, you gotta tell them how it really is immediately.
[59:07] Andrew: You gotta teach them how it is in Hollywood.
[59:09] Unknown speaker: Are you actually saying is that an actual Alice and Dodge opinion?
[59:12] Andrew: No.
[59:12] Unknown speaker: I want you okay, thank you.
[59:15] Andrew: Caught.
[59:16] Unknown speaker: That was a joke.
[59:17] Andrew: That was satire.
[59:18] Unknown speaker: Thanks, everybody.
[59:19] Andrew: It's because I didn't know.
[59:21] Unknown speaker: I didn't know that.
[59:22] Andrew: Um But yeah.
[59:25] Unknown speaker: I think that they were right that they were at the right stage for what they got out of the experience.
[59:29] Andrew: Yes.
[59:29] Unknown speaker: Where they were like, okay.
[59:31] Andrew: They were like, I'm sure that those four were selected because they were, I don't know, Nepo babies or potentially like very talented within their group, or they won a contest or something.
[59:42] Unknown speaker: And so I think that they got what they needed to get out of that experience on set, shooting that music video, and I'm sure they still talk about it to this day.
[59:50] Andrew: Actually, all four children, you're invited onto the podcast.
[59:54] Unknown speaker: My problem, I mean, with the hit redacted show was always that these kids have big Broadway dreams, and the show makes it true.
[1:00:08] Andrew: Like redacted Rachel goes to redacted Broadway and redacted season five and season six, like sure.
[1:00:16] Unknown speaker: So, like I and I've said this the whole time, like I really think an entertaining show would have been a realistic music career.
[1:00:26] Andrew: Like, oh, you open up a fucking guitar shop in South Bend, Indiana.
[1:00:33] Unknown speaker: And but okay, and that's okay.
[1:00:35] Andrew: That's a career in music.
[1:00:37] Unknown speaker: Right.
[1:00:37] Andrew: One of them could be happy with that.
[1:00:39] Unknown speaker: I'm okay with I understand what you're saying, and I get it to an extent where it's like one of them could have like a more realized dream.
[1:00:48] Andrew: It doesn't need to be opening for Beyoncé, hypothetically, hypothetically on a redact show.
[1:00:52] Unknown speaker: Um, it doesn't need to be that big.
[1:00:54] Andrew: But at the same time, I'm like, okay, I'm so back and forth, depending on the day, where the tides are, where the moon is in the in the in the sky.
[1:01:01] Unknown speaker: No, I'm I'm more like it's a satire.
[1:01:04] Andrew: Everything is large in this show.
[1:01:05] Unknown speaker: So like it's fucking makes sense that it's like, okay, everything is so fucking loud and in your face, and Blaine's wearing pastels to school every day.
[1:01:13] Andrew: Of course, Mercedes is opening for Beyoncé.
[1:01:18] Unknown speaker: Those two, those two things are directly tied to each other.
[1:01:22] Andrew: It's like, okay, what is Mercedes gonna do?
[1:01:24] Unknown speaker: I don't know.
[1:01:24] Andrew: Blaine's wearing pastels.
[1:01:26] Unknown speaker: She's going to open for Beyoncé.
[1:01:27] Andrew: She's going to open for Beyoncé, it makes sense.
[1:01:29] Unknown speaker: Right.
[1:01:30] Andrew: Uh Damien in the studio was called a rock god by Nikki.
[1:01:36] Unknown speaker: And then it had in the bottom right hand corner.
[1:01:39] Andrew: How did Damien feel about being called a rock god?
[1:01:42] Unknown speaker: Go to oxygen.com to find out.
[1:01:46] Andrew: Like, I'm curious.
[1:01:48] Unknown speaker: How did he I a question that really didn't occur to me?
[1:01:51] Andrew: Yeah.
[1:01:52] Unknown speaker: Is actually how did he feel about that comment?
[1:01:55] Andrew: I know.
[1:01:56] Unknown speaker: Now I'm curious.
[1:01:57] Andrew: Like, how can I?
[1:01:58] Unknown speaker: No, I'm like, wait, no, I do need to know, actually.
[1:02:00] Andrew: I need to know.
[1:02:01] Unknown speaker: Damien, how did you feel about being called a rock god?
[1:02:04] Andrew: Uh okay.
[1:02:05] Unknown speaker: So they go, they go to the music video set, and um award-winning director Eric White walks out.
[1:02:12] Andrew: Yep.
[1:02:12] Unknown speaker: And I'm I'm pissed off at him immediately because he's wearing a hat with a New York Yankees logo on it, but it needs to be blurred out.
[1:02:24] Andrew: And I'm like, every time that you fucking walk out here, you're wearing a hat that needs to be blurred out.
[1:02:29] Unknown speaker: Bitch, like, why don't you save these people's games?
[1:02:33] Andrew: It made the Yankee hat more famous than the Yankee game.
[1:02:36] Unknown speaker: He's referencing the hit redacted show.
[1:02:41] Andrew: Right, exactly.
[1:02:42] Unknown speaker: And that's the direct correlation.
[1:02:44] Andrew: He's really looking out.
[1:02:45] Unknown speaker: He really wants that Empire's state of mind, Gleekas Rush Mike Lee Cus, the streams to go up that week.
[1:02:51] Andrew: I'm just tired of it.
[1:02:52] Unknown speaker: I'm just like, come out with just a general hat, or maybe no hat at all.
[1:02:57] Andrew: Show us your head.
[1:03:05] Unknown speaker: Oh, how the tides have turned against Eric White.
[1:03:10] Andrew: He was being inappropriate to them.
[1:03:13] Unknown speaker: But now we're being inappropriate toward him.
[1:03:16] Andrew: How does it feel, Eric?
[1:03:17] Unknown speaker: How's your head?
[1:03:19] Andrew: Show us your head.
[1:03:20] Unknown speaker: Show us your head.
[1:03:25] Andrew: How's your head?
[1:03:26] Unknown speaker: I've never had any complaints, but anyway.
[1:03:32] Andrew: So music video shoot.
[1:03:36] Unknown speaker: Lindsay kind of slays on the guitar.
[1:03:39] Andrew: I'm gonna say it.
[1:03:40] Unknown speaker: Yeah, she's great.
[1:03:41] Andrew: She got trained in by Kevin McHale.
[1:03:44] Unknown speaker: Rock God.
[1:03:45] Andrew: How did it feel being called a rock god by Alison Dodge, Kevin McHale?
[1:03:54] Unknown speaker: Find out now on Oxygen.com.
[1:04:00] Andrew: Um so the the music video is continuing, and um and Alex is like being sort of weighed down by this child that is not pulling as much weight as the other children.
[1:04:15] Unknown speaker: And I'm like, fuck, are they going to spin this as if like this is the reason that Alex is like bad this week?
[1:04:23] Andrew: That this child You weren't good with the kid.
[1:04:26] Unknown speaker: You weren't good with the kid, and sure enough, that's exactly what happened.
[1:04:31] Andrew: Yep.
[1:04:31] Unknown speaker: Hey Alex, you weren't good with the kid.
[1:04:34] Andrew: There's a lot of kids on the hitbox show, Glee.
[1:04:37] Unknown speaker: So you gotta be good with working with children.
[1:04:40] Andrew: Guess what, Alex?
[1:04:41] Unknown speaker: You're not making it this week.
[1:04:43] Andrew: That child you were with was shit.
[1:04:45] Unknown speaker: Exactly.
[1:04:46] Andrew: We're actually bringing the child in to replace you.
[1:04:49] Unknown speaker: We're gonna give the child a chance for a role on Glee.
[1:04:56] Andrew: They would.
[1:04:57] Unknown speaker: They would.
[1:04:58] Andrew: Um do that.
[1:04:59] Unknown speaker: Okay.
[1:05:01] Andrew: What do you do you have any notes about the music video shoot?
[1:05:04] Unknown speaker: Um, no, I have.
[1:05:06] Andrew: I just want to say that the music video itself is very cute.
[1:05:10] Unknown speaker: Um I do like it.
[1:05:12] Andrew: I'm not mad about it.
[1:05:14] Unknown speaker: Um I am weirded out about the children coming out of a white van at the beginning.
[1:05:18] Andrew: That's exactly my note.
[1:05:19] Unknown speaker: Why?
[1:05:20] Andrew: Yeah.
[1:05:21] Unknown speaker: Why?
[1:05:22] Andrew: For what?
[1:05:23] Unknown speaker: Didn't make me feel good.
[1:05:24] Andrew: Yeah, it didn't make me feel a little bit weird.
[1:05:27] Unknown speaker: Um but then it's revealed to us that Ian Brennan is going to be attending the bottom three.
[1:05:35] Andrew: Right.
[1:05:37] Unknown speaker: And I got really confused.
[1:05:39] Andrew: I was like, how do we like there's uh the Glee countdown timer says 22 minutes left?
[1:05:48] Unknown speaker: How do we move from this to the next episode?
[1:05:51] Andrew: Like I was so confused.
[1:05:52] Unknown speaker: How do they justify everybody staying?
[1:05:57] Andrew: And uh, so it's revealed that everybody is gonna sing a last chance song, all four of them.
[1:06:05] Unknown speaker: And uh what did you think of everybody's reaction to that?
[1:06:11] Andrew: Um Lindsay, what did I think about the reaction? A question that I have not considered. Um I've never been called a rock god, so yeah, well, exactly. Who's calling me a rock god?
[1:06:31] Unknown speaker: Samuel Larson.
[1:06:33] Andrew: That's not true. I'm until Samuel. I wish you would. Uh Samuel Larson. I just like not answering your question, but Samuel Larson with those children, with that child. I was like, gosh. I want to just like come home from work and just see him and the kid on the couch talking like that. And I'm like, I know what's the ovaries. Like my ovaries are hurting. Like my ovaries are screaming. My ovaries exploded. Is that what I'm saying? I want to settle down. Have a couple kids with Samuel Larson. Just like God, oh gosh. Just like all the stress from the day would just immediately dissipate. Just seeing. Like, oh to answer your question of how did how did their reaction make me feel I'm ready to have a family? I'm ready to settle down and start a family with Samuel Larson. Honestly Sam.
[1:07:24] Unknown speaker: So wait, how did you feel about the reaction?
[1:07:29] Andrew: Um I thought it was good. I uh Lindsay was like Oh, Lindsay's. Like they were just all like, okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay, okay. This is real. This is real. Everybody's gotta do this. Like, nobody is safe. No one is safe. Yeah. And um so they all get their songs. Do you have anything to say about them practicing these songs?
[1:07:52] Unknown speaker: Um Alex has a little one-on-one with Nikki about how this song, uh, Alex's song was sang at their father's funeral. Right. And I feel like just for the sake of editing this episode, I think that information is delivered too many times. That I'm like, Yeah, it's delivered in a cutting head. It's delivered to Nikki, it's delivered to Ian and Ryan. I'm like, me, the viewer, I already fucking know. I know. Stop telling me this information over and over again. I think it is Okay. I understand. Um, I want to see other things. I don't need this explained to me for a third time.
[1:08:33] Andrew: Um yeah, Nikki. See, because like the the time that we spent explaining that three times, we could have got Nikki checking in on Samuel and Damien, which we didn't get, you know? Nikki only to this episode, from what we know, the stupid viewer at home, she only checks in on Lindsay and and uh Alex. And I'm like, huh, there's two other people here. This seems a little unfair. Weird. She was uh she knew that they were gonna win. Right.
[1:09:02] Unknown speaker: Um wait, so who is who is in your who you think that Samuel would have um went home? Like could have.
[1:09:13] Andrew: I think Samuel would have gone home this week. Who do you think was who was in your bottom three? If there was a bottom three of these four, bottom three, I would have done Lindsay, Alex, Samuel. I think this episode, Damien wins the Glee project. Easy. Especially with his last chance performance.
[1:09:30] Unknown speaker: That's exactly what I said too, and I feel crazy. But I I think it was just like based on the edit that I was like, we like based on this this episode edit that I'm like, we saw all of them kind of flub and Alex for a completely um not his problem at all. Um but at least we did see that there was a problem with surrounding Alex. Uh, but we didn't see any problems with Damien, right?
[1:09:58] Andrew: Right. Damien was perfect. Chef's kiss. Chef's kiss. Um, so okay, so we go to the last chance performances and we start with Alex's song. What did we think? Eye on the Sparrow. His eyes on the Sparrow. Um I appreciated that Ryan introduces Alex to Ian as the love child of Kurt and Mercedes, and I'm like, oh, so unique has been written. So we got it. Like, done. Okay. Period. Uh-huh. Um WJ Strike is over. Got it. Exactly. Exactly. Um, we've come to an agreement. We've come to an agreement. Unique is Kurt Sadie's child. Understood. Yep. Um, I have no familiarity with this song.
[1:10:43] Unknown speaker: Me neither.
[1:10:43] Andrew: So it really didn't mean anything to me. Um how did Ryan how did it make you feel when Ryan said your dad would be proud of you?
[1:10:55] Unknown speaker: Um I I felt weird that they clearly they had to have known that this was a song that very personal to Alex. That I just felt like it was a little like I don't I don't know if manipulative is the right word for Ryan to be like, um, your dad would have been proud of you. I think it was a very kind thing to say, but I think that the fact that Ryan, it's also been established that Ryan uh s selected these songs for all four of them to sing. I'm like, this is messy boots. Like, what is going on? Like, don't I know all the other songs are from the shit fox show. Right.
[1:11:39] Andrew: And this other song, I'm just like, where did this come from? And why is it given to the one person it's related to?
[1:11:45] Unknown speaker: Exactly. You put you said it much more uh finite than I did.
[1:11:50] Andrew: Yeah, I was very. It feels like a a personal attack. They just uh again, it's just like, oh, we just kind of want to see this person sing because every time that you s every time you sing, we really love. Um yeah, I don't think that there was like a chance that Alex was going to go home.
[1:12:10] Unknown speaker: No, I think that the the Alex sang incredible. It's a great performance. Damien next. Gotta be me. I said unfortunately, he just won the Glee Project. Um because I the it was a great performance. Gotta be me was a great performance. And Ian and Ryan immediately are like, oh, Britney would never understand him. Right, right, right, right. Yeah. It's like, oh, they've written the character. Got it. Okay. Got it. Okay, they've written a character. Okay, they've they've come to an agreement with the writers.
[1:12:45] Unknown speaker: Yeah. Um, so yeah.
[1:12:47] Andrew: No, I really liked it. And dare I say, I think I enjoyed Damien's song the best out of the four.
[1:12:53] Unknown speaker: I would agree with you.
[1:12:55] Andrew: And it made me mad. Um, dipping into um uh redacted com content, which we rarely do, but I'm going to do it. Um I am really disappointed that we didn't get a Damien McGinty song such as this on the redacted television series. All of the fucking Damien McGinty solos that we get, he's just standing in the middle of that choir room, just standing still. And I wanna like attack that I want to jazz. I want to just like skip, skip, skip, skip. Sorry.
[1:13:27] Unknown speaker: Yep.
[1:13:29] Andrew: Um I Ryan says I think vocally, you are the one that's the most challenged or something. And I'm like, this is the one of the only people that has professional singing experience. Like, Damien has been a part of Celtic Thunder for a long time.
[1:13:51] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[1:13:52] Andrew: And I guess you could say that you could say for all four of them, from what we understand up until that point that they have at least, I don't know, would you say professional for all four? Like Lindsay's been on the damn stage. She hasn't been on a Broadway stage, but she still has she has, you know, some credits to her name. Um Yeah, Samuel's in a band. And then like Celtic Thunder is bigger than all of those, I think.
[1:14:21] Unknown speaker: Well, yeah, that gave him a leg up from the very beginning.
[1:14:24] Andrew: Um, yeah. But then Ryan says some shit like that, and I'm like, well. Well, what's going on?
[1:14:34] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[1:14:36] Andrew: What are you thinking about, Ryan? Well, he has been in the in the bottom three by far the most. Um yeah.
[1:14:45] Unknown speaker: Hmm.
[1:14:46] Andrew: Um, Lindsay's Defying Gravity. Premonition. Foreshadowing. Yeah. Exactly. Premonition starring uh is it John Cusack? I don't think it is. John Cusack and uh Sandra Bullock. Hell yeah. Incredible movie. Incredible movie. Please watch it.
[1:15:02] Unknown speaker: Um Define Gravity.
[1:15:06] Andrew: I want a comparison of this version with a slime tutorial. Really bad. I watched a slime tutorial directly after finishing this episode, right before we started recording. And I was like, oh, I want to see the difference. But again, I sound like a fucking broken record with this song, this arrangement of this song that I fucking hate it. I think that like is are we from what I understand? I'm led to believe that this is the only version of the song that Ryan Murphy knows. This fucking something has changed within me. Something is something is not the same. Yeah. And it's just like just like this what what are we calling it? The radio edit, the pop version. Sitting down. I'm just like, can we Sitting Down version? Can we have some drama, please?
[1:15:50] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[1:15:50] Andrew: I hope you're happy. I hope you're happy now. Right. Take it from there. I don't want to hear something has I don't want to hear. If it starts from there, I don't want to hear the rest of the song, unfortunately. No, I skip. I mean, I still liked she did a damn good job with the song, but I just She did. She did. I mean Ian was like, style seemed to fit you very well of the song. And I was like, yeah, she's gonna be on Broadway. She's gonna reopen Broadway from the COVID closure with this song. Right. Yeah. It fucking fits her well. But they didn't know that yet.
[1:16:24] Unknown speaker: But then Ryan being savage and telling Ian, I've always wanted to cut her, but I never can. What the hell? I'm just like glad that if this was Ryan last week, he would have said it to her face.
[1:16:36] Andrew: Oh yeah. Ryan was acting up last week. Ryan would say to her face, I've always wanted to cut you, but I'm never around a pair of scissors when you're around. Like I just want to attack you.
[1:16:52] Unknown speaker: Um I just want to attack you.
[1:16:54] Andrew: Like, God, that's so scary. But I'm glad that they had that conversation um in private. Uh, and then we have Oh, and then at the at the end of the Define Gravity performance, Ian asked Lindsay, Can you rock out as well? And I'm like, very evident, baby boy did not watch the music video.
[1:17:14] Unknown speaker: Baby girl.
[1:17:14] Andrew: Yeah. Did rock out the hardest. Yeah, she was the lead fucking guitar, bitch. Bitch! Watch the taste.
[1:17:22] Unknown speaker: Um, and then we go into um sexy Sammy, sexy sexy Sammy singing.
[1:17:29] Andrew: I'm trying to do another sexy sexy sexy Sammy singing song. Sexy sexy Sammy singing song. Singing funny Valentine. Do you think they had recorded Sugar at this point?
[1:17:43] Unknown speaker: No, they haven't. You gotta remember, Sugar made her first appearance in the first episode that Lindsay did.
[1:17:52] Andrew: Oh, is that season three premiere? Season three premiere, sugar enter and Harmony. Damn. But that's I and then I know where you're going with this conversation because you think my funny valentine was sung by Sugar. Guess what? It was sung by Tina in the season two Valentine's Day episode.
[1:18:16] Unknown speaker: Sorry.
[1:18:16] Andrew: Wait, why did but she sings it badly. So I I that's why I imagine, and it's in the choir room. That's why I think it's sugar. The verdict is still out, if if you should be allowed. I'm not gonna make you look dumbass.
[1:18:31] Unknown speaker: I'm making you look dumbass.
[1:18:35] Andrew: Um, okay. Yeah, what did you think about? Oh. What did you think about the originally sung by Sugar? The sugar song, that sexy sexy Sam sang song. What do you think?
[1:18:48] Unknown speaker: This is this is Samuel losing the Glee Project, unfortunately. It's not a good song for him. Uh sexy sexy Sammy strained singing song.
[1:19:00] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[1:19:01] ♪ Musical number ♪
[1:19:03] Unknown speaker: That last note that sexy sexy Sammy sang he strained.
[1:19:08] Unknown speaker: Uh, I think that, but up until that point, I was...
[1:19:15] Unknown speaker: I got it.
[1:19:16] Unknown speaker: I was like, okay.
[1:19:19] Unknown speaker: I appreciated Ryan was told Ian before Samuel showed up, like he has Jesus tattooed on his neck.
[1:19:28] Andrew: And Ian Brennan made a comment like, oh, does he have like Leviticus blah blah blah blah blah about thou shalt not be a rock badger or something?
[1:19:37] Unknown speaker: And I was like, okay, Atheist King.
[1:19:40] Unknown speaker: Okay, slander on the Bible.
[1:19:42] Unknown speaker: King.
[1:19:42] Unknown speaker: Okay, we love this religious commentary.
[1:19:45] Unknown speaker: We love this.
[1:19:47] Unknown speaker: We love this sleigh.
[1:19:49] Unknown speaker: Um and it just kind of colored how I saw this performance.
[1:19:55] Unknown speaker: Um, and how I saw how Samuel talks afterwards.
[1:19:59] Unknown speaker: Like Samuel saying I was crying because I I didn't know like what God wanted from me.
[1:20:08] Unknown speaker: Right.
[1:20:09] Unknown speaker: Which And I'm like, truly, you talked about God in the last two episodes.
[1:20:15] Unknown speaker: I'm I'm it's he's doing he's playing the smart game.
[1:20:19] Unknown speaker: I caught that as well.
[1:20:19] Unknown speaker: I'm like, okay, you're you're playing to your advantage, which by all means you gotta do.
[1:20:26] Unknown speaker: It's a competition show.
[1:20:27] Unknown speaker: Um but like yeah, he brought that, he was like, Well, God, you gotta remember my relationship with God.
[1:20:34] Unknown speaker: Right.
[1:20:35] Unknown speaker: I was crying because of God.
[1:20:36] Unknown speaker: And then they're like, oh, okay.
[1:20:39] Unknown speaker: Oh, okay, yo, Jesus tattooed, Rock badger.
[1:20:41] Unknown speaker: I do wanna I do want to read this Stephanie comment in the chat that people are reacting sleigh emojis to.
[1:20:47] Unknown speaker: Um, hot take.
[1:20:48] Unknown speaker: I think how they've reacted to Samuel's last chance performance is super unfair.
[1:20:52] Unknown speaker: He's managed to breeze through majority of the competition without being in the bottom, and it's like he's being punished for doing well, and then saying he's not vulnerable enough.
[1:21:00] Unknown speaker: Well, no, of course not, Ryan.
[1:21:02] Unknown speaker: You're just now meeting him and rant.
[1:21:05] Unknown speaker: Stephanie, so true.
[1:21:08] Unknown speaker: So true.
[1:21:08] Unknown speaker: Exactly.
[1:21:09] Unknown speaker: That's kind of what I said last week.
[1:21:10] Unknown speaker: Like these kids are at a disadvantage for being good.
[1:21:14] Unknown speaker: Right.
[1:21:15] Unknown speaker: And not having FaceTime with Ryan.
[1:21:17] Unknown speaker: Like Damien is at an advantage because he Ryan has seen him grow.
[1:21:22] Unknown speaker: Right.
[1:21:22] Unknown speaker: And seen him take notes and apply them.
[1:21:26] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[1:21:26] Unknown speaker: And again, like Alex's Alex is also at an advantage because Alex has been in the the bottom three a lot, simply because Ryan's just like, I gotta, I gotta have it.
[1:21:35] Unknown speaker: One great performance.
[1:21:37] Unknown speaker: And it's just like, what the fuck is this?
[1:21:38] Unknown speaker: And it's a room, it's yeah, it's removing time away from someone like Samuel, who is unable to make an impression.
[1:21:47] Unknown speaker: Slam you'll slay y'all.
[1:21:50] Unknown speaker: Exactly.
[1:21:51] Unknown speaker: So the list is up.
[1:21:54] Unknown speaker: And go take a look.
[1:21:56] Unknown speaker: Everybody's through.
[1:21:58] Unknown speaker: Everybody's through.
[1:21:59] Unknown speaker: If if I was watching this episode, and I'm sure I felt this watching this episode live, I was like, who's gonna go home before?
[1:22:08] Unknown speaker: From the moment before we see who like the what's the lit is actually on the list, and none of them are going home.
[1:22:14] Unknown speaker: I would have reason to believe that Lindsay was the one going home because the way that she reacted based on her face suit, yeah, her facial expression.
[1:22:21] Unknown speaker: But she became a big thing.
[1:22:22] Unknown speaker: She kind of reacts, covers her face, and then when she pulls back away from her face, she's smiling.
[1:22:26] Unknown speaker: Yeah.
[1:22:27] Unknown speaker: They're like, uh, the editing.
[1:22:29] Unknown speaker: Yeah, that was good.
[1:22:30] Unknown speaker: Okay, that was smart.
[1:22:31] Unknown speaker: But Lindsay just be doing way too much with her reactions.
[1:22:35] Unknown speaker: Anyway.
[1:22:36] Unknown speaker: Um everybody is gonna be there next week.
