[2:48] Andrew: Based on Zack and Cody?

[2:50] Alice: I mean, probably.

[2:51] Alyssa: Okay, wait.

[2:52] Andrew: Formative.

[2:53] Alice: Um Fournight cruise, Fortnite cruise.

[2:56] Alyssa: You and I pre-COVID were planning a cruise.

[2:59] Andrew: We were planning a cruise for like, was it February 2021?

[3:04] Alice: 2021, and instead we did a podcast, which is very synonymous.

[3:09] Alyssa: Honestly, yeah, it makes sense.

[3:11] Andrew: That's the nine-month cruise.

[3:13] Alice: Exactly.

[3:14] Alyssa: Um, the three-year cruise.

[3:16] Andrew: Um you've never been on a cruise.

[3:18] Alice: No, I have twice, actually.

[3:20] Alyssa: You uh Yeah.

[3:21] Andrew: Wait, we talked about this?

[3:23] Alice: What cruise last?

[3:24] Alyssa: I'm plugging Patreon.

[3:26] Andrew: I maybe this is a Patreon exclusive.

[3:27] Alice: I don't even know what's released to the public and what's not.

[3:30] Alyssa: But I remember I'm sure you remember this.

[3:33] Alice: Like it was, gosh, what was it called?

[3:36] Alyssa: It was like exclusively old people.

[3:38] Alice: I went with my mom and sister, and first day of the cruise, it was um back to back events, uh, the LGBTQ mixer, which I don't even think that there was anybody there, and then the Oceans 8 viewing party.

[3:50] Alyssa: Yeah, I do remember.

[3:52] Alice: And I drank so heavy upon getting onto the cruise that I completely passed out and I was unable to attend both events.

[4:00] Andrew: Because you had, did you have the unlimited drink package?

[4:03] Alice: Oh yeah.

[4:04] Andrew: It was just like constantly.

[4:05] Alice: And I was like, oh, well, I can keep this up for you know eight days or whatever.

[4:09] Alyssa: Four days.

[4:10] Andrew: Yeah.

[4:10] Alice: Insane.

[4:12] Alyssa: The amount of liquor that is consumed on cruise ships is absolutely sickening and disgusting and scary.

[4:16] Andrew: Did you have a package?

[4:17] Alice: Um, I to be honest with you, TBQH hot take.

[4:23] Alyssa: I haven't drank an alcoholic beverage since December 31st, 2023.

[4:27] Andrew: Wait, that's so major.

[4:29] Alice: Yeah.

[4:30] Andrew: It's been almost three months.

[4:31] Alice: And that's a specific choice, or what's going on?

[4:36] Alyssa: Kind of.

[4:36] Alice: We did try January, and then it I just it just kept going.

[4:40] Andrew: Yeah.

[4:41] Alice: I was like, oh, I sleep really well, and also I'm like not going to bars as much.

[4:48] Alyssa: Yeah.

[4:49] Andrew: Like I go to breweries and stuff, but they always have like a non-alcoholic option or like a mocktail option.

[4:55] Alice: Right.

[4:55] Andrew: And I live in a suburb, so it's like if I go to the city, I can't really drink heavily anyways.

[5:01] Alice: And I save money, and I'm addicted to Spindrift, not sponsored.

[5:06] Andrew: Yeah, it's not sponsored, but Spindrift.

[5:09] Alyssa: We've talked heavy on it about it.

[5:10] Alice: Oh, yeah.

[5:11] Andrew: Patreon.

[5:12] Alice: Again, Plug Pug Plus.

[5:14] Andrew: But yeah, that you wait.

[5:15] Alyssa: Have you had the iced sea lemonade one yet?

[5:18] Alice: No, but I've I saw it at Target at my local Target.

[5:21] Andrew: And I was like, that scares me.

[5:24] Alice: It's really terrifying.

[5:24] Andrew: It's really, really bad.

[5:26] Alice: Um, I think that if they're selling like loose cans, like if you just find like one can, just try it out just for the guy.

[5:33] Alyssa: Yeah, right.

[5:33] Alice: Right.

[5:34] Andrew: Try that one.

[5:35] Alice: And then be like, wait, this actually tastes like shit.

[5:37] Alyssa: Just so you can know that Spindrift is capable of making a terrible product.

[5:41] Andrew: Making bad things.

[5:43] Alice: Okay, that's good to know.

[5:44] Andrew: No, I I I there's no real reason for it.

[5:47] Alice: I just haven't drank, and I'm kind of trying to see how long I can go.

[5:51] Andrew: And I don't feel like I even went on a four-night cruise with a whole group of people that had the unlimited drink package, and I didn't consume.

[5:58] Alice: Wow.

[5:59] Andrew: I didn't drink.

[5:59] Alyssa: That's huge.

[6:00] Alice: So I know, really crazy.

[6:02] Andrew: But um, I did have the soda pop, the sodi sodi pop package.

[6:07] Alice: Uh because you know that's your vice.

[6:09] Andrew: Yeah.

[6:10] Alice: Exactly.

[6:10] Andrew: My vice is Coke Z and San Pellegrino.

[6:13] Alyssa: You know what I mean?

[6:14] Alice: Wait, Coke Z and San Pellegrino are like actually like kind of like they're the better ones when it comes to Pelagon.

[6:19] Andrew: They're delicious.

[6:20] Alice: Exactly.

[6:21] Andrew: Coke Z is really good.

[6:22] Alice: San Pellegrino, I could just keep going up and being like, I want another one.

[6:22] Andrew: Right.

[6:22] Alice: I want another one.

[6:27] Andrew: Who's gonna who's gonna stop me?

[6:29] Alice: You're sir over serving everybody else on this boat.

[6:34] Andrew: Right.

[6:34] Alice: Give me my seventh San Pellegrino.

[6:36] Andrew: Right.

[6:36] Alice: I want to be the DD here of this cruise.

[6:38] Andrew: Exactly.

[6:39] Alice: Right.

[6:39] Andrew: Exactly.

[6:40] Alice: I have to operate the cruise ship at the end of the day.

[6:42] Andrew: Like that's my shift.

[6:43] Alice: Exactly.

[6:44] Andrew: Um the cruise was amazing.

[6:47] Alice: It was four nights of the Bahamas.

[6:49] Andrew: I had never done anything like I had never done anything like all inclusive before.

[6:54] Alice: So that was kind of cuckoo bananas.

[6:57] Andrew: Um just I've had nice dinners before, but I've never had like a nice dinner four fucking nights in a row.

[7:04] Alice: So by the end, I was like, this food is too rich for me.

[7:08] Andrew: I need, I need a Taco Bell chalupa.

[7:11] Alice: Right, right.

[7:11] Andrew: I need to do it.

[7:13] Alice: I need a Kaniac.

[7:14] Andrew: Exactly.

[7:15] Alice: I need to like s I need to fucking humble myself right now.

[7:21] Andrew: Right.

[7:21] Alice: Exactly.

[7:22] Andrew: I'm not well.

[7:23] Alice: That was me in Hawaii when it was like we were driving to the airport, and it was just like I crave anything that is like not that is like overly processed.

[7:33] Andrew: And wouldn't you know it?

[7:34] Alice: Exactly.

[7:35] Andrew: Wendy's doobie on the way to the hell yeah.

[7:39] Alice: Oahu, Waikiki Airport.

[7:41] Andrew: And I was like, oh, I'm gonna fuck this up before this flight.

[7:45] Alice: And sure enough, I did.

[7:47] Andrew: So a 10-piece from Wendy's.

[7:50] Alice: Dang.

[7:50] Andrew: This is what I do.

[7:51] Alice: Maybe this is too much food, but I do the um Dave Single.

[7:55] Andrew: Okay.

[7:56] Alice: Um the entire like meal.

[7:58] Andrew: I go medium.

[8:00] Alice: Um, but in addition to that, I also get the six-piece nuggets.

[8:05] Andrew: Yeah, that's like a four for four.

[8:07] Alice: Right.

[8:07] Andrew: That's just like a jumbo four for four.

[8:09] Alice: That is not bad.

[8:10] Andrew: I love a good four for four.

[8:11] Alice: Okay, thank you.

[8:12] Andrew: I like my mom was like, you're crazy.

[8:14] Alice: And I'm like, literally, stop.

[8:17] Andrew: Let me eat.

[8:18] Alice: Let me eat this.

[8:18] Andrew: I'm a growing boy.

[8:21] Alice: Love of God.

[8:22] Andrew: Um, what else do you have to share about this crazy cruise?

[8:25] Alice: Um, it was it it was really great.

[8:29] Andrew: What I wanted to tell you is I know that I continuously send you Snapchat videos and you continuously don't open them.

[8:36] Alice: Okay, because I don't have the Snapchat app, actually.

[8:38] Andrew: I deleted it off my phone.

[8:39] Alice: Okay.

[8:40] Andrew: Well, you know what?

[8:41] Alice: Redownload it when you do, you will get an entire fucking three hours.

[8:47] Andrew: Oh, that's good.

[8:48] Alice: From me.

[8:49] Andrew: Are they like specifically, and it's okay if not?

[8:51] Alice: Are they specifically for me or are they just going out to everybody?

[8:55] Andrew: They're really funny.

[8:55] Alice: No, they're to you.

[8:56] Andrew: Oh wow.

[8:57] Alice: Okay, so who am I to deny?

[8:59] Andrew: Because we pulled up right next to the Disney Wish.

[9:04] Alice: Baby, you and I need to go on a Disney.

[9:07] Andrew: I want the Disney Wish.

[9:08] Alice: So really, really bad.

[9:11] Andrew: Yeah.

[9:12] Alice: I need her bad.

[9:14] Andrew: I think that like people will get really, really mad at me on the Disney Wish, though, is the thing.

[9:19] Alice: And like and like a way that I'm like, I think it would I would be aware of like how I'm destroying the vacations of families, and then it would destroy my vibe.

[9:27] Andrew: And I'm like, oh, I actually don't want to do this anymore.

[9:29] Alice: I feel really, really bad about the what I've already caused.

[9:32] Andrew: So but I still want to do it.

[9:35] Alice: Because we pulled up next to the Disney Wish, and they just play Disney movies all day.

[9:40] Andrew: I've been in the world.

[9:41] Alice: In the pool.

[9:42] Andrew: Like they they pool area.

[9:44] Alice: You can just be in a pool watching Coco.

[9:47] Andrew: Are you kidding?

[9:49] Alice: So we were next to it and I was watching Inside Out, but like the A movie you've famously never seen.

[9:56] Andrew: Famously have never seen.

[9:57] Alice: But now I've seen two-thirds of it because the slide was across the screen.

[10:02] Andrew: So I saw the top third and the bottom third when you but not the middle.

[10:07] Alice: When you said two thirds initially, I thought like two-thirds of like, okay, like maybe the back two-thirds of the movie or the front two-thirds.

[10:13] Andrew: But you watched-

[10:15] Alice: No, I saw the full length.

[10:17] Andrew: You saw the full length.

[10:17] Alice: But I saw the top third and the bottom third.

[10:19] Andrew: I didn't see the full screen.

[10:20] Alice: Do you feel like you missed anything or do you think that you got it?

[10:23] Andrew: Yeah, I'm confused what characters were talking sometimes because I couldn't see them.

[10:37] Alice: I definitely think we should go.

[10:38] Andrew: Every time a new cruise ship, when we were in Nassau, would pull up next to me, I'd be doing some Googling.

[10:39] Alice: I was gonna like be like, I'm here to answer any questions, but I don't think I can answer that.

[10:43] Alice: I'd be like, okay, gotta see where they go, how many nights, what room options are, where they fly in and out of Galveston, Miami, Port Canaveral.

[10:44] Andrew: Um, no, but it was super fun.

[10:53] Andrew: Gotta see that.

[10:54] Alice: And then I was like, Andrew and I need to go on a Disney cruise because it would be mayhem, and I need it.

[11:02] Andrew: The Disney Wish is the newest one.

[11:04] Alice: Um February 2022.

[11:05] Andrew: I don't know if I don't think the Donnellys, which we've talked a lot about.

[11:09] Alice: I think in like the Glee Project season one recap era, so that's public domain.

[11:14] Andrew: Um I don't know if they've been on like the new Disney because they they do be cruising.

[11:21] Alice: It's the Donnelies.

[11:22] Andrew: We should book a celebrity cruise, and the celebrity is it's the Donnelly's.

[11:22] Alice: It's the Donnellys.

[11:28] Andrew: It's it's the Itzers, the Itzers.

[11:30] Alice: Can you imagine being locked on a boat with the It's the Donnellys?

[11:35] Andrew: I like literally, I would always like, I feel like we'll talk about Glee, I promise.

[11:40] Alice: We would maybe I well, like maybe this is no, this is Glee Adjacent.

[11:44] Andrew: Like, there's like interviews with like Leah Michelle where she's like, um, who is like one celebrity that you would be like starstruck to meet?

[11:51] Alice: And she was like, she would like name housewives, and I'd be like, shut the fuck up.

[11:54] Andrew: Say like a celebrity for once.

[11:55] Alice: Like, say a celebrity.

[11:56] Andrew: No.

[11:57] Alice: Um, name a woman.

[11:58] Andrew: Name a woman.

[11:59] Alice: And but I think I get it now.

[12:03] Andrew: I'm like, because the housewives, it's the Donnellys is my housewives.

[12:09] Alice: I agree.

[12:09] Andrew: I completely agree.

[12:10] Alice: They're real people.

[12:12] Andrew: I uh specifically fly the airline that she flies because I want to cross paths with her so bad.

[12:19] Alice: By the way, she I thought this no, we'll we'll talk about it just for a little bit longer.

[12:26] Andrew: Um, she hasn't been working.

[12:28] Alice: I don't know how much you've been watching.

[12:29] Andrew: She hasn't been like working.

[12:31] Alice: And like she like didn't work like over like she's a flight attendant, the the matriarch of this family.

[12:37] Andrew: If you don't care about this, let me and my friend talk about it just for one minute more.

[12:42] Alice: Um The Matriarch just uh all of her like chickens are like going to college and whatever, so she's all all she's like home with her husband, and so she needs to kill her time in addition to being a vlogger, and um, and so she became a flight attendant, but she didn't really work over the holidays, which I understand to be a very um busy time of year.

[13:08] Andrew: Well, I think flight attendants work two weeks, then have a week off, then work two weeks and have a week off.

[13:14] Alice: She explains it a little bit, like being like on deck, which is like truly scary, but like I'm like, is it that scary?

[13:20] Andrew: I don't know.

[13:21] Alice: Um, like where she needs to be like ready to go wherever in the world at a moment's notice.

[13:29] Andrew: Um but yeah, I I would like all that to say I would love to go on a cruise with the Donnellys.

[13:37] Alice: I would scream.

[13:37] Andrew: I would really love that.

[13:39] Alice: I I think I think we should.

[13:41] Andrew: I think we should make a conscious effort to book the same cruise as them.

[13:45] Alice: That would change my life.

[13:46] Andrew: Joe is asking in the chat are there specific are there specific videos we should watch to get caught up?

[13:52] Alice: Um I would watch like you'll go through their channel and there are like videos where it's like cruise day one and like each thumbnail, like day one, day two, day three, like you get the entire experience.

[14:04] Andrew: Yeah.

[14:04] Alice: Um they or or there are videos that where it's like, she did what an animal kingdom?

[14:11] Andrew: Watch those.

[14:12] Alice: Those are good.

[14:14] Andrew: My teenage daughter did what at Magic Kingdom?

[14:18] Alice: It's so fucked up.

[14:20] Andrew: Like it's like it's like Jill, Jill knows what she's doing when she's like she with these titles, she's like, Teenage son reveals what on camera.

[14:34] Alice: I promise that's not the reason I'm watching it.

[14:37] Andrew: But I know that there are people that's watching it because of these clickbait shit.

[14:42] Claudia: Disgusting.

[14:43] Alyssa: Disgusting.

[14:44] Allison: Disgusting.

[14:45] Andrew: I denounce you.

[14:46] Claudia: Disgusting.

[14:48] Alyssa: Disgusting.

[14:49] Allison: Um, happy third Glirthday, Andrew.

[14:52] Andrew: Wow.

[14:53] Allison: Here we are, three years later.

[14:55] Alyssa: Um, you've taken a little bit of a leave of absence.

[15:02] Allison: Um, but do you have any hot takes to share about galactic competitions that have happened in your absence?

[15:09] Andrew: Absolutely. First of all, I just want to say how proud I am of you and your continued work on this gorgeous thing. I had to walk away, but the things that you've done, you continue to do are incredible.

[15:23] Allison: Um, the Becky episode brought tears to my eyes.

[15:29] Andrew: So good and touching, and I'm obsessed. Uh, that being said, you are wrong for some of this.

[15:37] Allison: What?

[15:38] Andrew: Is it specifically the Lauren Potter episode? Or was there any crimes committed in that episode?

[15:44] Allison: I know how much we hate. You should go to jail. But um, all of the decisions that were made made complete sense to me. Um, I just felt my absence in some of these. I was like, oh, this might have been a little bit different if Allison had been here.

[16:07] Andrew: There are certain competitions, yeah, I feel the exact same way. Um, it could have really spun a different direction.

[16:15] Allison: But um, faithfully versus never gonna get it, complete sense.

[16:22] Andrew: Oh, I was like, whoa!

[16:24] Allison: No, no, no, no, complete sense absolutely faithfully is going through. That is not a question in my eyes.

[16:30] Alyssa: I just wanna have a moment of silence for the Phineas and Ferb of it all.

[16:34] Allison: And um, the only Phineas and Ferb song that they covered on the hitbox show Glee.

[16:38] Alyssa: Exactly.

[16:39] Allison: And I really, really loved her, and she was cute. And that would have I would have had a pause during that competition. I would have been like, uh, no, you know.

[16:49] Andrew: You're right.

[16:50] Allison: Right. She should maybe make it out of the first round, considering she was against fat bottom girls in round one.

[16:57] Alyssa: I know.

[16:58] Allison: And she won against that, like maybe the best puck solo. I don't know.

[17:03] Andrew: I know.

[17:04] Allison: But you're impacting. I think the other competitions made complete sense to me. I was like, yeah, what does the fox say? Of course, we're gonna have that dialogue, you know.

[17:16] Andrew: We're gonna have that dialogue and we're gonna move on. Um, but the most the Thea Glassman episode is where I specifically felt my um, I needed I felt myself speaking up, and I was like, oh, my microphone's not on, I'm not on this episode.

[17:36] Alyssa: Oh my gosh.

[17:37] Allison: Um, I know how much you love the only exception, and I know like you had a very thought out speech, and it was good and it was important, and I would have I would have pity voted something, okay?

[17:53] Andrew: Pity voted something something for the record, something Glee cast version by Glee cast is what we're the something at hand with when we're talking so flippantly. I would have pity voted something.

[18:02] Allison: Something.

[18:05] Andrew: I don't know what.

[18:07] Allison: That's something. Wait, because I saw that you voted for something in the polls, and I'm like, this is a personal attack.

[18:14] Andrew: And I'm like, I know.

[18:16] Allison: What's going on? I really thought somebody was gonna speak up. I was like, oh, Andrew said his piece about only exception, but somebody's gonna say, somebody's gonna say something.

[18:25] Alyssa: So you see something, say something.

[18:28] Allison: See something, say something. I would have pity voted that shit, and it wouldn't have had any effect on anything.

[18:34] Andrew: Right.

[18:34] Allison: Um, but I wanted to speak now or forever hold my peace. But it could have, it really could have been because we talked about it in the um, I believe it, yeah, it was the Matt and Amon episode where um, we talked about my life would suck without you versus Sway, which is a competition that gets brought up frequently.

[18:54] Alyssa: Famous.

[18:55] Allison: But a famous competition. Um, but I feel like it could have happened something versus the only exception. If you had been there, you could have really you have so much um pull that you were so what's the word I'm looking for? You're so you bring people in to your way of this.

[19:16] Andrew: I think that's definitely not the word I was looking for. But um, wait, what other competitions do you have?

[19:25] Allison: Um, the one that I wanted to like really address was fighter versus um Arthur's theme.

[19:25] Alyssa: Arthur's theme.

[19:36] Allison: Because I know that fighter from the first round gets brought up almost every day. It still gets brought up to me.

[19:42] Alyssa: My DMs are closed.

[19:43] Allison: And people are still texting me about it.

[19:45] Andrew: In the on the street.

[19:46] Alyssa: Yeah, people somebody was on the cruise and they were like, I know you. I know you. I know what you did.

[19:54] Andrew: I know what you did. You fucking fighter.

[19:58] Allison: Um, I mean I commend Connor for uh voting for a Blowlow, but um that's a that would have been a really I would have again had pause. Because while I love Fighter and the Fight Club of It All, it is Arthur's theme is so good, and I think it's one of the only season six songs that I truly care about.

[20:24] Alyssa: That you stream that I stream to this day.

[20:27] Allison: Be honest. This is so rude for me to ask on an audio medium. Be honest. Are you streaming any Glee songs in 2024?

[20:35] Andrew: Not so far, no.

[20:37] Allison: That that was so fucked up of me to ask on a Glee podcast.

[20:45] Andrew: No. I mean, uh, I to be quite honest with you, my Spotify trends as of late have been crazy. I podcast, podcast, podcast, podcast, podcast.

[20:56] Alyssa: Uh-huh.

[20:57] Andrew: And then when I'm driving, I'm listening to the radio.

[21:01] Alyssa: Oh.

[21:02] Andrew: I don't even listen to Spotify Spotify right now.

[21:04] Alyssa: Yeah.

[21:04] Andrew: Like a fucking plebe. Like, I'm not even streaming Taylor Swift. That's how crazy.

[21:12] Alyssa: You're just like, let them give me whatever song they want.

[21:15] Andrew: Exactly. I'm relinquishing control. My Spotify wrapped is yours, Queen.

[21:22] Alyssa: Because I listen to my day list sometimes. And Glee will show up on my day list. Sometimes it's like super edgy pop musical and it'll be like fucking poker face. And I'm like, God fucking damn it.

[21:35] Andrew: No.

[21:36] Alyssa: Absolutely.

[21:38] Andrew: What?

[21:39] Alyssa: Yes. That's the face of that of that genre.

[21:43] Andrew: But I try, I try to listen to music. Like I tried to listen to Kacey Musgraves' Deeper Well, and I just was like sobbing. And I was like, oh no, I need to listen to my drama podcasts.

[21:55] Alyssa: Yeah.

[21:57] Andrew: You know what I was thinking about doing this week? I was like, remember uh 2020. I was like doing an album a day.

[22:04] Alyssa: Yep.

[22:07] Andrew: I like felt so happy when I was doing that. I didn't like the homework part of it of like having to think of something witty to say.

[22:14] Alyssa: What I did in 2020 was that I posted on Instagram story. I was like, hey, recommend a um album for me to listen to. I'll do one every day, and I'll get it.

[22:23] Andrew: You were bike riding.

[22:23] Alyssa: You're writing a bike.

[22:25] Andrew: Right. It was like I should have put that um disclaimer out because like people were like recommending like really like sad emotional, and I was like, no, this is for riding a bike. Keep that in mind.

[22:37] Alyssa: And so every day I would listen to one, but then the part that I didn't like was that I would need to like think of something. It was like a creative writing assignment of like something quippy to say about it. And I was like, then it just like pulls out of the fun. But I was thinking I want to do that again because I want to listen to new music. But yeah.

[22:55] Andrew: Deeper well, Kacey Musgraves, sad. Haven't brought myself to listen to Ariana Grande's.

[23:00] Alyssa: No bike. Don't listen to that.

[23:01] Andrew: Don't listen to that on the bike. I haven't listened to Ariana Grande's new album. I want to. I'm scared that it's sad. Tortured Poets Society is gonna ruin me financially, spiritually, and emotionally.

[23:13] Alyssa: Financially.

[23:14] Andrew: She keeps fucking dropping different versions of the final. And I'm like, fucking stop.

[23:18] Alyssa: I was like, don't you know?

[23:19] Andrew: 50 bucks a pop. Spotify is in it included, but no, you gotta.

[23:23] Alyssa: That's crazy.

[23:24] Andrew: Are you gonna buy how many? Is there? There's I think there's four.

[23:27] Alyssa: Huh.

[23:30] Andrew: That's so 50 each.

[23:33] Alyssa: What if they become a clock like the other one?

[23:37] Andrew: Midnight's if you bought all four versions of midnights, it became a clock.

[23:41] Alyssa: And I want that.

[23:43] Andrew: Why?

[23:44] Alyssa: Why do you want it?

[23:45] Andrew: I want a Taylor Swift clock in my house. And it's I'm not gonna yuck your yum, but just for the record, 200 altogether.

[23:53] Alyssa: Well, yes.

[23:54] Andrew: Okay. And what do you do with the clock?

[23:57] Alyssa: Uh, it goes in your wall.

[23:59] Andrew: But it's not a functioning clock, of course.

[24:01] Alyssa: Yes.

[24:02] Andrew: Well, you go onto taylorswift.com and you buy the uh you buy the there's a thing that you can buy that is the arms of the clock, and you mount that on your wall, and then there's little things to hold the album covers up.

[24:18] Alyssa: Additional fee.

[24:19] Andrew: Additional fee. So it's over $200.

[24:22] Alyssa: Right.

[24:22] Andrew: She doobie. She doobie just sucking my money out of my ass.

[24:27] Alyssa: Succubus is what you said.

[24:29] Andrew: Succubus. She's a succubus for my wallet. And I love her. Um, do you have any um further competitions that you would like to bring up at this very moment?

[24:37] Alyssa: No, I mean, everything made sense. I was like, yeah.

[24:42] Andrew: Okay, let's go.

[24:44] Alyssa: It's literally ever since you left, and I think I saw someone bring this up in the chat, that ever since you left, a lot of the competition, like a lot of the episodes have been like, okay, obviously like let's move on.

[24:56] Andrew: Yeah.

[24:56] Alyssa: And um, you bring uh an element of chaos. Um, that I somehow like miss. I was like, oh, I'm not gonna miss that part.

[25:07] Andrew: Um, but no, like a lot of the episodes have been like very like layups, setups, whatever, not a lot of competition. Um, Agent of Chaos, Kate is saying in the chat, absolutely correct.

[25:19] Alyssa: Um, so I'm looking for I feel like I feel like tonight is going to ruin my life.

[25:26] Andrew: Yeah, I'm ready to have some really hard discussions. Before we get into that and we pull one of you, three of you out of the chat, um, to partake in the Galactic competitions. Let's look back at some of these. Um, I posted on Instagram earlier today. Um, your favorite podcast memories just to go through some of them, just like ones that catch my eye.

[25:48] Allison: Three years.

[25:48] Andrew: Nikki, three years favorite moments.

[25:51] Alyssa: Wow.

[25:52] Andrew: Nikki Blonsky from the movie Hairspray, having no Glee knowledge but diving in.

[25:58] Allison: Queen.

[25:59] Andrew: Queen. She just she just showed up in the Zoom, was like, you want me to sing these? I'll sing them. I know two people did that. Allie Stroker did that and Nikki Blonsky.

[26:10] Allison: I'm kind of obsessed with that.

[26:12] Andrew: That see, that's a that's a queen club.

[26:16] Alyssa: Yeah.

[26:16] Andrew: That's a club of queens, those two.

[26:19] Allison: Um in common. Let's see. Alison describing the performance of I'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you.

[26:26] Alyssa: How did you describe it?

[26:29] Allison: See, I don't even remember the things that happened.

[26:31] Andrew: The somewhere we go sometimes bit lasting almost all around one of the Glacket.

[26:37] Alyssa: That was crazy that we didn't pull that until like the third to last episode.

[26:41] Andrew: Crazy. I still call it that. I don't know what the real name is.

[26:45] Alyssa: No one does.

[26:46] Andrew: Um, wait. Andrew talking about I should have like prepared a list of these before. Because like I'm like, I don't even remember some of these. Andrew talking about Will not showing up to season one sectionals as if he was an escaped convict.

[27:03] Alyssa: Was this a joke that I made?

[27:05] Andrew: You must have.

[27:07] Alyssa: Um, he got out. They're calling him jail.

[27:11] Andrew: So many I can't remember, but I do love how Andrew is quick witted in Allison's humor.

[27:16] Alyssa: Oh, the kiss.

[27:20] Andrew: Should I, and then should I wrap it up with this this one message that Eduardo sent? Eduardo, I don't know if you want me to put this full on blast, but you've sent a bullet point of um of favorite moments. Favorite Glee of the Week pod moments. Whitney's full episode, she's a queen that needs to come back, but specific moments. Allison and Whitney teaming up to gaslight Andrew about listen being mid.

[27:44] Allison: I will never forget how I felt that day.

[27:47] Andrew: Um, Andrew saying, and we deserve hate for that, and Whitney with her full chest saying, Yes. Um, The Tardy party being iconic. Love Andrew lying to Jenna about I don't know how to love him.

[28:02] Allison: Can I put a do you remember this?

[28:06] Andrew: I told Jenna Ushkowitz that I loved I don't know how to love him. And then in an episode after and I do. I did. And then I listened to it again. And I'm like, oh, this guy doesn't stand the test of time.

[28:22] Allison: But it really starts, it raised me.

[28:24] Andrew: It does. I remember when we pulled it on the Glacket and you were like, I gotta have this.

[28:30] Allison: I gotta have it.

[28:31] Andrew: It's yeah, it's the size at Coldstone Creamery. The gotta have it.

[28:33] Allison: I gotta have it.

[28:34] Andrew: Oh, that's a that's a great carousel um slide. I still quote Tammy has secrets once a day.

[28:44] Allison: Premature skadoching, obviously.

[28:48] Andrew: Um, I don't know if he wants me to share this, Eduardo. You know what's coming up next. Robert Ulrich interview is my comfort episode. I want to carry that man's babies. He's so sweet, I could die.

[29:03] Allison: And then plugging the Patreon, Eduardo said, Allison Weenus story, Patreon exclusive.

[29:09] Andrew: The Weenus, yeah.

[29:10] Allison: Oh my god, I forgot I shared that.

[29:13] Andrew: You're saying in the chat that's a different Eduardo, but we know that you know that it's you.

[29:18] Andrew: We know it's you.

[29:20] Andrew: Um, okay, we're going to bring over the course of this episode, we're going to bring out um three lucky glisteners out of the chat.

[29:28] Andrew: Um, starting with Allison.

[29:31] Andrew: Can you unmute?

[29:32] Allison: I forget how we did this.

[29:34] Andrew: I think we just unmute, yeah.

[29:35] Allison: Hello.

[29:36] Andrew: Hello.

[29:36] Allison: Hello?

[29:38] Andrew: Hi.

[29:38] Allison: Oh, God, that was easy.

[29:40] Andrew: How are you doing, Allison?

[29:42] Allison: I'm good. How are you guys?

[29:44] Andrew: Good. How do you feel about Love is Blind being in Minneapolis this season?

[29:49] Allison: That's crazy. I watched the first season with my family all when we were in COVID quarantine because we were all together. And my parents have kept up honest to God more than I have.

[30:01] Andrew: Okay.

[30:03] Allison: Well, I just feel like Minneapolis is so small that we're destined to know somebody.

[30:08] Alyssa: For sure.

[30:09] Andrew: Yeah.

[30:09] Allison: Like it's a matter of.

[30:12] Allison: So I'm I'm kind of far away. I don't make it up there all.

[30:20] Andrew: Going to say either of our.

[30:22] Allison: Don't say any further.

[30:24] Alyssa: We're so close.

[30:26] Andrew: We might have the same local Target.

[30:29] Allison: What?

[30:30] Alyssa: Probably.

[30:31] Andrew: Probably.

[30:32] Allison: Wait, but like in terms of reality dating shows taking place in Minneapolis, I feel like you guys were already thrown a bone this past year with Leslie from Golden Bachelor being the runner up of the Golden Bachelor and being from Minneapolis.

[30:48] Alyssa: Well, we did we did have Michelle, and Michelle was the Bachelorette, and she was from Minneapolis, and that was cool because Michelle was also my coworker's sister.

[30:58] Allison: So that's crazy. That was cool. Um there was Becca on The Bachelor too on Ari's season, and then she was the Bachelorette.

[31:06] Alyssa: Yep, that was crazy.

[31:07] Allison: Um so Minnesota has been has been represented, but I think the fact that Love is Blind is like what 40 different people, maybe 30, I don't know. Um we're destined to know somebody, and it's gonna be crazy.

[31:23] Alyssa: And I have a guess on who somebody is.

[31:27] Allison: That's gonna be wild. You need to keep us updated.

[31:30] Alyssa: I'll tell you if I'm right.

[31:31] Allison: That's wild. In terms of um other reality television series, um, Allison, do you have any hot takes that you are willing to share about um Gleek of the Week podcast?

[31:42] Allison: Oh, yes. Also, can I can I turn on my video? Is that allowed on these settings?

[31:47] Andrew: Absolutely.

[31:47] Allison: Is that allowed by the Okay?

[31:50] Andrew: Hi!

[31:50] Allison: Hi!

[31:50] Andrew: It is!

[31:51] Allison: Oh my god. This is so fun.

[31:53] Andrew: Okay, I do. So um I have my little I have my iPad with my spreadsheet. I have my top 10.

[32:00] Allison: Oh my god. Um broke my heart from season one, and they get increasingly more unhinged. I have not heard a lot of people complaining about these.

[32:10] Andrew: Okay.

[32:10] Allison: Yes, Amelia, I just listened to that, and Andrew said there's a girly with a spreadsheet, and then I felt heard and I felt seen. So I'm glad that someone else has put as much time into this as I have.

[32:25] Andrew: Amazing.

[32:26] Allison: Um, my first my first qualms are they're kind of they're a pair. So Rose's turn versus Don't Stop Believing Regionals.

[32:34] Alyssa: Yeah.

[32:36] Allison: That came so you you didn't put go you didn't put through Don't Stop Believing Regionals because you said, Well, we just put through the first Don't Stop Believing and we don't need these repeats.

[32:48] Andrew: And then is that really what we said?

[32:51] Allison: Oh god. Because that's my favorite one.

[32:54] Alyssa: At least ago you put Teenage Dreams Season 5 through instead of Start Me Up Living Out of Prayer, which made it to my final four in my glacket.

[33:08] Andrew: Obsessed with that one.

[33:09] Allison: And then I was like, Oh, so so Don't Stop Believing got voted out because we can't have repeats. But then we're then we're bringing in the repeats instead of this.

[33:19] Andrew: Using our own logic against us.

[33:22] Allison: Actually, I was so nice meeting you, Allison.

[33:25] Andrew: You've been removed.

[33:27] Allison: You're not welcome here.

[33:29] Andrew: Wait, what else do you have?

[33:31] Allison: Um We Will Rock You winning over Losing My Religion. That made me sad.

[33:35] Alyssa: That's one of my favorite.

[33:37] Allison: Yep. Sick.

[33:38] Alyssa: Yeah.

[33:39] Allison: My favorite Finn solos.

[33:41] Alyssa: Yep.

[33:41] Allison: Um Isla Bonita versus Sing, My Chemical Romance. Um if you listen to Finn singing the chorus of Sing My Chemical Romance, like if you don't listen to Leah and you listen to what he's singing, it's so good.

[33:59] Alyssa: And I listen exclusively for that.

[34:01] Allison: And I feel like people don't talk about that. So that made it far on your own glacket.

[34:07] Alyssa: Yes.

[34:08] Allison: Um this one might be controversial. Um Shout It lost to It's All Over. And I don't love Shout It, but It's All Over Fast Forward in my watching the episode.

[34:24] Alyssa: Like I can't.

[34:25] Allison: I wait, you're talking about the the shout, Brittany and Blaine.

[34:31] Alyssa: No, wait it.

[34:32] Allison: Shout out it.

[34:33] Alyssa: Yes.

[34:34] Allison: Shout it, shout it out loud. Which does next to nothing for me. But It's All Over. I was so excited for you guys to pull that because I was like, oh, like so ready for this discourse. And then everybody was like, obsessed.

[34:50] Alyssa: She's my child.

[34:51] Allison: And I was like, oh.

[34:53] Alyssa: I is It's All Over the Dreamgirls?

[34:57] Allison: Yeah.

[34:57] Alyssa: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[34:58] Allison: Once Kurt comes in, I wow.

[35:04] Alyssa: Okay.

[35:05] Allison: Okay. You're losing me. Your words are powerful. Just so you know, your words are powerful. I hope you I hope that you know that.

[35:11] Alyssa: Eduardo, the Kurt vocal takes me out it's it's literally that just that's when they're just getting started in this in the song I that one not a not a win for me but it's okay um two that I think are really good they are no s never skips on my glee on my glee playlist that you guys did not like is Grease Lightning and then Highway to the Danger Zone old time rock and roll something about those two they're so fun to watch I think because of like the costuming and just like two good episodes and like the in the garage performing and like Finn and Artie are then performing it with them and it's just really fun and then the mashup and like the costuming I just I just really love those and they're high energy and they're fun and they got like that you're you're really like liking a lot of these like men focused numbers whereas I feel like especially in recent episodes we've been talking shit about the guys.

[36:20] Andrew: Yeah so I I love that we're having you here to um advocate for men someone's got to right right yeah and then um the last one that'll bring up this song lost in round one and this was my second most listened to glee song of 2023 fourth most listened to song overall of the year.

[36:47] Allison: And it is Unchained Melody.

[36:50] Alyssa: Lost to Cry.

[36:52] Allison: You've got me on that one.

[36:53] Alyssa: Yes.

[36:54] Allison: Wow. That song is so good.

[36:57] Alyssa: And it's in my um, I have like a sleepy gleek playlist of like this. I like play it as I'm falling asleep. There's only like 10 of them. So I just listen to them as I fall asleep.

[37:09] Alyssa: I have my sleepy swifty playlist too.

[37:11] Allison: For like that's good.

[37:13] Alyssa: Like just like listen to as I'm falling asleep, and then the playlist ends, and then my music isn't playing all night.

[37:19] Andrew: Wait, what else is on the sleepy gleek playlist?

[37:22] Allison: Do we know?

[37:23] Allison: I'll pull it up.

[37:23] Andrew: Yeah, I need to know.

[37:24] Allison: Yes. Like Dreaming Little Dream is like a little bit too on the nose, but like it works.

[37:28] Alyssa: Right.

[37:29] Allison: So I have Total Eclipse of the Heart. I Dreamed a Dream, Landslide, I Feel Pretty, I'm Pretty, Songbird.

[37:39] Alyssa: Yep.

[37:39] Allison: Pop Syrup, Never Stay Never, The Scientist, Um Chain Melody.

[37:49] Alyssa: So that's what I listen to as I uh being lulled to sleep.

[37:53] Andrew: As you drift off.

[37:54] Allison: That's incredible.

[37:55] Alyssa: Yes.

[37:55] Allison: I love that for you.

[37:57] Alyssa: That's a good idea.

[37:57] Allison: But I died. My like my top, my top song of the year was um Somebody to Love Season One Gleek Us version by Glee Cast.

[38:07] Alyssa: I love makes sense.

[38:08] Allison: Yes. Makes complex. And then All Too Well 10-minute version was my number two.

[38:13] Alyssa: Good.

[38:17] Allison: Like, oh, I have to cook pasta for one and a half All Too Wells. You know what I mean?

[38:21] Alyssa: Right.

[38:22] Andrew: I saw I saw a tweet or something, and it was like, if you ever have an hour drive, just All Too Well 10-minute version six times. And then you're there.

[38:28] Alyssa: And I was like, oh, perfect.

[38:29] Andrew: Easy.

[38:30] Andrew: Um time is flying. In terms of what you're looking for in the collective, are we looking for Sleepy Gleek playlists? Like, are we advocating for that? Are we looking for men? What are we looking for specifically?

[38:43] Allison: I so Dashboard is my winner of my Glack.

[38:46] Alyssa: Yeah.

[38:46] Allison: Hands down. Like, till I die. On the eve of my 23rd birthday, I put on the episode Nationals so that I could ring in my birthday while Paradise for the Dashboard was playing.

[39:00] Alyssa: She was there, yes.

[39:01] Allison: Timed it perfectly. And I want to pull that because there are so many like seconds of that. Like people to watch and like things I could talk about, and why like that what there's one line in that song that is like the best three seconds on Glee.

[39:19] Alyssa: And the first time it got pulled, it in my opinion did not get the love it deserved from the Gleek of the Week.

[39:27] Allison: And because she was the vocal, she was the vocal coach, I believe. And she was talking about how it was like unrealistic for them to be dancing and singing while singing the song. And I was like, but like there's much more to talk about.

[39:39] Alyssa: So yeah.

[39:42] Allison: So I that's just what I that's that's what I'm here to discuss.

[39:46] Alyssa: Very specific what we're looking for.

[39:48] Andrew: Yes.

[39:49] Allison: Okay.

[39:50] Andrew: Yes.

[39:50] Allison: Definitely not the one song that you just said.

[39:55] Andrew: But you get two songs.

[39:57] Allison: So um, this is a season five Rolo.

[40:03] Alyssa: Not men.

[40:05] Allison: I would say maybe sleepy. Maybe sleepy vibes.

[40:07] Allison: I would I would actually say this should be on a sleepy gleek playlist. At least one of them. Could lull me to sleep given the opportunity.

[40:16] Andrew: Right.

[40:16] Allison: Here we go. People.

[40:19] Andrew: Oh, baby boy people who need Oh might crank this.

[40:25] Andrew: How do I turn this up?

[40:39] Andrew: Oh my God, chills. We are children needing other children and letting a grown up hide of the need acting more like children and children lovers are very special people.

[41:35] Andrew: With one person one very special person a feeling deep in your soul says you were half now your home no more hunger and thirst, but first be a person who needs people who need people.

[42:34] Andrew: Okay, people.

[42:36] Alyssa: Oh my god. Who wants to start the discourse here?

[42:42] Allison: I do.

[42:43] Alyssa: Okay.

[42:45] Allison: I just want to say people Glee Cast version by Glee Cast better than people, Funny Girl, original Broadway cast recording.

[42:55] Alyssa: I'm gonna say that.

[42:56] Andrew: Can we can what are the differences?

[43:00] Allison: Well, how does it excel?

[43:01] Allison: Uh she this one, she's kind of she's got that Rachel Berry like twang that like ha like Right.

[43:13] Allison: A little squeaky girl. Little squeaky girl, and I love it, and it itches a scratch on my brain, and I am obsessed.

[43:20] Allison: And she belts notes that she doesn't belt in the Funny Girl version.

[43:24] Alyssa: Like I heard she was gonna perform People on Jimmy Fallon or something.

[43:29] Allison: Jimmy Fallon, I love that performance, yes.

[43:32] Alyssa: And I was let down by the performance because I was expecting Rachel Berry to show up and Leah Michelle did.

[43:38] Andrew: See, yeah. Other Allison, what are we thinking?

[43:42] Allison: Um, I I like this. I I love Rachel. Hot takes.

[43:57] Claudia: This is like mid, middle of the what, four 42?

[44:02] Allison: I think they're she's coming in at 42 solos at the end of the series, yeah.

[44:10] Alyssa: Oh, I thought you were saying Highway 42, like a Minnesota reference.

[44:15] Claudia: So it's like, oh yeah, my people like 35E.

[44:18] Allison: I will only listen to the song while driving on County Road 42.

[44:24] Alyssa: Um it's good.

[44:27] Claudia: I like um I like this era, like this is like when all of them get to New York and like everything's happy and they're getting along, and you get these glimpses of like these high school friends are actually making it as friends like out in the real world, even after being separated for a year, and you see all of them doing their own like individual things, yeah, and they come together for their cute like little family dinner night.

[44:53] Alyssa: And so I think that makes it like it's it's fun to watch.

[44:56] Allison: I would watch it more than I would lean towards like streaming.

[45:00] Alyssa: I don't know if I would ever stream this.

[45:02] Claudia: I'm I'm I agree.

[45:04] Alyssa: I I think I would stream it.

[45:07] Claudia: I don't know if I would go that far.

[45:08] Alyssa: I I think that the MP4 is um stronger than the MP3.

[45:13] Claudia: That I think that like just seeing them, I like Sam Sadies just being like domestic life and then like leaving the apartment and then looking up at the apartment and being like that's our apartment.

[45:23] Alyssa: Um That's where we live.

[45:25] Claudia: That's definitely where we live.

[45:26] Alyssa: I've officially made it.

[45:27] Claudia: I've officially made it.

[45:29] Alyssa: That's where I live.

[45:30] Claudia: Sam just slid right on into that probably very expensive New York City house.

[45:34] Alyssa: It was like very casual.

[45:36] Claudia: Brownstone where I live now.

[45:38] Alyssa: Yep.

[45:38] Claudia: Um, but I do love, I think, when it comes to ranking people, I think that the people Jimmy Fallon performance, it does something for my chemistry.

[45:48] Alyssa: I understand it doesn't do anything for you, but I really love it.

[45:52] Claudia: I love it a lot.

[45:53] Alyssa: Ice stream.

[45:54] Claudia: I love it a lot.

[45:55] Alyssa: That's my favorite people.

[45:58] Claudia: Um do we are we feeling good about people?

[46:02] Alyssa: Do we I feel great?

[46:05] Allison: I feel like in terms of going through competition.

[46:10] Alyssa: I think it's won't be mad about it.

[46:15] Claudia: I could see it being a mid versus mid, potentially.

[46:17] Alyssa: Let's see what it's against.

[46:19] Claudia: Ooh.

[46:20] Alyssa: Okay.

[46:21] Claudia: This is uh season six, episode two.

[46:24] Alyssa: Ooh, ooh.

[46:26] Claudia: I'm scared.

[46:27] Alyssa: I'm guys, I'm really scared.

[46:29] Claudia: Guys, I'm really scared.

[46:30] Alyssa: What was that?

[46:32] Claudia: I don't know what that was.

[46:32] Alyssa: That wasn't me.

[46:34] Claudia: Oh no.

[46:34] Alyssa: Here we go.

[46:35] Claudia: Season six, episode two.

[46:37] Alyssa: Season six, episode two.

[46:38] Claudia: You're gonna know what it is, right?

[46:40] Alyssa: Now god damn it.

[46:44] Claudia: Oh Noah Guthrie, my king.

[46:49] Alyssa: Sally.

[46:59] Claudia: Oh lord.

[47:01] Alyssa: What I said now.

[47:08] Claudia: Oh lord.

[47:18] Alyssa: Oh yeah.

[47:22] Claudia: You've been running all over the town now.

[47:27] Alyssa: Oh, I guess I have to put your flat feet on the ground.

[47:39] Claudia: Listen, all you wanna do is ride around Sally.

[47:45] Alyssa: Salad ride.

[47:53] Claudia: Salad.

[47:56] Alyssa: All you wanna do is ride around Sally Salad.

[48:05] Claudia: All you wanna do is ride around Sally.

[48:12] Alyssa: Listen one of these elements are gonna be wrapping your weeping eyes.

[48:32] Claudia: Oh Lord, what I say now.

[48:36] Alyssa: Oh okay, okay, okay.

[48:45] Claudia: Um I just wanna say, does anybody know the TikTok filter that will show you uh what season color palette you are?

[48:58] Alyssa: Um season of glee.

[49:00] Claudia: Season of glee.

[49:00] Alyssa: No, season like season like fall spring.

[49:03] Claudia: Fall spring color palette.

[49:06] Alyssa: I could visualize it though.

[49:08] Claudia: You're supposed to like put your face in the hole and then it shows you what colors go with your face.

[49:13] Alyssa: Well, if if Quinn was to put her face in that hole, um, her hair color, not on that list, baby.

[49:22] Claudia: I am always so distracted season six by her terrible dye job.

[49:27] Alyssa: I think it's okay.

[49:28] Claudia: I was more distracted.

[49:30] Alyssa: It's a good dye.

[49:31] Claudia: I just she needs a bleach and tone.

[49:33] Alyssa: You know what I mean?

[49:34] Claudia: I think she needs a purple shampoo.

[49:36] Alyssa: She needs a sharp.

[49:36] Claudia: She needs a purple shampoo.

[49:38] Alyssa: I think, and again, recycling an old old bit without looking at a list.

[49:43] Claudia: I think this might actually be the worst Santana look of all time.

[49:48] Alyssa: Really?

[49:48] Claudia: You don't like that dress?

[49:49] Alyssa: I think it's so it's just like, it's so general.

[49:51] Claudia: And she also It is.

[49:52] Alyssa: And you real Gleeks know this.

[49:54] Claudia: This is what she wears for her season six promotional image.

[49:59] Alyssa: She wears that the same damn blue dress.

[50:02] Claudia: Damn dress.

[50:03] Alyssa: The same, like it's just like, it's just like giving dress on a boat.

[50:08] Claudia: What's that?

[50:10] Alyssa: Taylor Swift.

[50:11] Claudia: Oh.

[50:13] Alyssa: Haven't heard of her, but I'll check her out.

[50:16] Claudia: There we go.

[50:17] Alyssa: Uh, and also, I don't know.

[50:19] Claudia: I just like I think if we're gonna talk a shit about like Quinn's hair, I just think like Santana's like hair is like also like not giving.

[50:24] Alyssa: There's something about it.

[50:25] Claudia: None of them look great.

[50:26] Alyssa: None of them are great.

[50:29] Claudia: Better than it ever has.

[50:30] Alyssa: It's out of that damn ponytail.

[50:32] Claudia: Right.

[50:33] Alyssa: She's whipping it around.

[50:34] Claudia: Right.

[50:34] Alyssa: Fair, fair, fair.

[50:35] Claudia: Yeah.

[50:36] Alyssa: Um everyone else.

[50:37] Claudia: I never, never in my life have I gone to Spotify.com and searched Mustang Sally Glee Cast version by Glee Cast.

[50:44] Alyssa: Out of no.

[50:46] Claudia: Okay, I'm I'm in the minority here.

[50:48] Alyssa: I stream.

[50:49] Claudia: I like it.

[50:51] Alyssa: I will say that it's not my favorite rotarolo, but I think that this is the ultimate rotarolo.

[50:58] Claudia: A term that I don't even know if we've ever used on this podcast before.

[51:01] Alyssa: Insummation.

[51:02] Claudia: In summation now.

[51:04] Alyssa: I think that there's only two specifically roderollos.

[51:08] Claudia: It's this and um Father.

[51:11] Alyssa: Father figure.

[51:12] Claudia: Take me to church not technically a Rotarolo.

[51:15] Alyssa: R Rotarolo?

[51:17] Claudia: Um, no, because like I think like Jane Jane definitely comes in.

[51:21] Alyssa: I think Kitty might also be on the track.

[51:22] Claudia: Kitty on the track.

[51:24] Alyssa: Um but no, a father figure has my heart, but I understand that this is like when you think of Rotarolo, this is kind of like his like dromp.

[51:34] Claudia: Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[51:35] Alyssa: His audition song.

[51:37] Claudia: Right.

[51:38] Alyssa: Um what else do we uh I'll other Allison?

[51:43] Claudia: What do you have to say about this?

[51:46] Allison: I get distracted by the background dancing and vocals because seasons one through three, you can assume that like behind the scenes and things are not watching, these people are rehearsing.

[52:01] But then they're like, they just come home and they're like, oh, should we go should we go run up there on stage and sing background?

[52:07] And it's complete choreography in unison, vocals in unison, and they mention it in 100 or not 100.

[52:15] Claudia: And um Thanksgiving.

[52:17] Allison: And they're like, we're so connected, best friends for so many years.

[52:23] We just we just are right there.

[52:25] Claudia: Right.

[52:25] Allison: And I know you guys have talked about this, they are canonically not friends and have rarely if ever spoken.

[52:30] Claudia: Brittany and Quinn don't know who the other one is, yeah.

[52:33] Allison: Don't know each other.

[52:34] Claudia: Yeah.

[52:35] Allison: And then they just hop up up out there and they're swaying and they're singing.

[52:39] Claudia: And it really kind of took me out a little bit.

[52:42] Allison: But aside from that, it is very good.

[52:44] Claudia: I was gonna say that take me to church would be my top.

[52:49] Allison: But if that's not I get is that like an honor.

[52:52] Claudia: We can put him in there.

[52:53] Allison: Why not?

[52:54] Claudia: Honorary Rotarolo.

[52:56] Alyssa: Well, and I in my in my in my Glacket that I had, I really went off the rails and just started ranking.

[53:02] Claudia: You know, like there's take people have TikTok accounts that come across me for you, Paige, and it's like ranking every group number in the choir room and whatever.

[53:11] Alyssa: And I like kind of I did I like I did by season, I like split up every duet combination that there has ever been on this show.

[53:20] Claudia: Amazing and like gave percents of like how of all duets on the show, how many of them were like one-offs?

[53:28] Alyssa: Yeah, and it was like 62%.

[53:31] Claudia: Oh no, it's crazy.

[53:33] Allison: Rachel sp I love that you're bringing this up.

[53:35] Claudia: Like Rachel is like a big accuser of that of being like, I'm gonna give you one duet and that's it.

[53:41] Alyssa: Yeah, flash dance, what a feeling.

[53:43] Claudia: You get to sing with me once, once learn what you can.

[53:46] Allison: It's never happening again.

[53:48] Alyssa: Yeah, yes.

[53:48] Claudia: I'm looking at you, Quinn.

[53:50] Allison: I'm looking at you, um, who else?

[53:53] Alyssa: Oh, like I guess uh uh like Kate Hudson, you only get one.

[53:58] Claudia: The Cudson.

[53:59] Alyssa: That's it.

[54:01] Claudia: Yes, and it happen it happened a lot, and that was just more for my curiosity.

[54:04] Alyssa: But like what I ran into too when I was ranking solos a lot of the time is like, is this a warboard group number or is this a Sebastian solo?

[54:13] Claudia: Is this a quick damn duet or not because Mercedes comes in at the end?

[54:19] Alyssa: Right.

[54:19] Claudia: Like and so there's a lot of them that are kind of like could go either way.

[54:24] Alyssa: Yeah, but um I if we're saying that take me to church is a Rod Rolo, that would be number one.

[54:32] Claudia: But if not, then this would be my number one.

[54:35] Alyssa: But when it comes down to people versus Mustang Sally, I know what I'm gonna say.

[54:35] Claudia: I know what I'm saying.

[54:43] Alyssa: Wait, can y'all say what you're saying?

[54:45] Claudia: I'm saying people.

[54:47] Alyssa: I'm saying must sing Sally.

[54:49] Claudia: See, I knew this is this would happen.

[54:51] Alyssa: This is the fuckery.

[54:52] Claudia: This is exactly what I this is like I don't know.

[54:52] Alyssa: I don't know.

[55:00] Claudia: What is the chat saying?

[55:02] Alyssa: I'm just like everybody is saying Rotarolo.

[55:06] Claudia: This should be easy.

[55:07] Alyssa: For why yeah, I guess people is so good.

[55:10] Claudia: I mean, dear God, I love Mustang Sally, but I'm not reaching for it.

[55:14] Alyssa: Like, when would I I would I would uh people it like hits it hits in my soul, yeah.

[55:21] Claudia: And it has I have a reason to listen to it because funny girl of it all, you know what I mean?

[55:26] Alyssa: And there is the like I said, kind of nostalgic factor of a little bit of the classic glee that we lost for a whole season of everybody being a part, like coming back together.

[55:39] Claudia: But I also feel like it would be if it if there was a group number in that scenario where when they cut off to like not this song, but like if you're watching the visuals and it like cuts to Curtin Blaine and then they're singing and then it cuts to Sam and Mercedes and they're singing, like that would lend itself more to the nostalgia and like the bringing the group back together in the way that they often sing the same song in completely separate areas of the country.

[56:07] Alyssa: But then it's just I what I'm saying, this is so much gun to your head.

[56:14] Claudia: Exactly.

[56:15] Alyssa: I think, yeah, the gun is there, it's real audio medium.

[56:18] Claudia: It's actually here in my apartment.

[56:21] Alyssa: Um it's at my head.

[56:23] Claudia: And I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say must sing Sally.

[56:26] Alyssa: Because it's not it's not the Jimmy Fallon version of people.

[56:30] Claudia: No, it's fine.

[56:30] Alyssa: What am why am I here?

[56:32] Claudia: Right.

[56:33] Alyssa: Why why did he invite you back just for your vote to meet new?

[56:39] Claudia: Exactly.

[56:40] Alyssa: Exactly, exactly.

[56:41] Claudia: Claudia is saying, get Jimmy Fallon version in the Glackett.

[56:45] Alyssa: That would be that would win.

[56:47] Claudia: It would win.

[56:48] Alyssa: Okay.

[56:49] Claudia: All the way to the end.

[56:50] Alyssa: Other Allison.

[56:51] Claudia: I'm sorry that we're referring to you as as such.

[56:55] Allison: No, and one quick thing, Andrew.

[56:59] Allison: That was me that mentioned you talking about Will Schuster at Sectionals.

[57:04] Claudia: Oh, that was you.

[57:05] Allison: Instagram?

[57:06] Claudia: That was me.

[57:06] Allison: And I remember because I was binging this podcast, found it last summer.

[57:14] Claudia: Yeah.

[57:14] Allison: And that was very early on.

[57:17] Claudia: And I was literally cackling because you were like, okay, so some rule book somewhere that Sue pulled up said that you can't come to sectionals because you opened a mattress.

[57:28] Allison: But like then he's sitting in the piano by himself, and you're like, are there wanted posters of this man all over the auditorium?

[57:37] Claudia: Like all.

[57:39] Allison: Oh my god.

[57:40] Claudia: And I was like, this is so funny.

[57:43] Allison: Me laughing at a joke I don't even remember making.

[57:46] Claudia: I was like, I'm I'm hogged.

[57:48] Allison: Like the way these two people talk about this show is so funny.

[57:51] Claudia: Oh my god.

[57:52] Allison: And so that was that's my like I think about that constantly.

[57:57] Claudia: Oh we'll we'll show you.

[58:00] Allison: He's on the lamb.

[58:01] Claudia: Right, right.

[58:03] Allison: He's out there.

[58:04] Claudia: He could be anyway.

[58:06] Allison: Yeah showrunners.

[58:08] Claudia: He's in my home.

[58:09] Allison: Oh my god, he's the one with the gun.

[58:11] Claudia: Ah!

[58:13] Allison: Um, okay.

[58:14] Claudia: Well, thank you so much, Alison.

[58:15] Allison: Um, we'll have to have you on again sometime soon.

[58:18] Claudia: But thank you for the gosh, it was so fun.

[58:23] Allison: I'll see you at Target.

[58:25] Claudia: See you at Target.

[58:27] Alyssa: Um, I do need to.

[58:29] Claudia: I I told you I need to feed Toffee at eight, and it's not and I need chapstick bad.

[58:34] Andrew: Okay, I'll be right back.

[58:36] Alyssa: I'll be right back as well, too.

[58:38] Andrew: Okay.

[58:40] Claudia: Can y'all watch him for me?

[58:41] Allison: Can y'all watch him for me?

[58:43] Andrew: I'm back. Toffee scratched me today.

[58:44] Alyssa: Hey!

[58:46] Claudia: I didn't even did I Toffee scratched you.

[58:46] Andrew: Well, she um something I was vacuuming. I did the my Zerum Buffoo, what I call my room book, and it was going around the apartment and it like snagged itself on a wire connected to a fan. The fan fell, and Toffee freaked out when she was running away from the scene of the crime. She um thought that my foot would be like a good pathway, and she sliced that baby open. I was like really it's so it was like I was like, I was about to pass out. Um, oui. But I forgive her. She she was panicked.

[59:30] Alyssa: She was panicked at the disco.

[59:31] Andrew: Right, right. Murder on the dance floor.

[59:33] Claudia: Exactly. Um okay, wait, we have um let's see. Is this person here? Is this person here?

[59:39] Andrew: Um Garougi Draws. Groogie draws, you're here. I know you are. I see you in the room.

[59:47] Alyssa: Is my mic working?

[59:50] Andrew: Yes, we hear you.

[59:51] Alyssa: Beautiful. Hello.

[59:52] Andrew: Hi.

[59:53] Alyssa: Oh my gosh. For context, Alyssa is um beautiful glistener, a longtime glistener, I feel. I am um that drew an animation um highlighting that fateful moment of, or I guess talking about the my life would suck without you versus Sway. I I was obsessed with it. Thank you again.

[1:00:14] Alyssa: Yes, no, every time you guys mention it, I'm like, oh, that was me. That was mine. I did that.

[1:00:21] Andrew: Um I don't really appreciate that. Wait, how would you like to be referred to as Alyssa or Garougi Draws?

[1:00:26] Alyssa: Oh, just Alyssa's fine. I have like my whole thing here because I do other animation things, but feel free to refer to me as Alyssa.

[1:00:35] Andrew: Alyssa. Full name Alyssa Garougi Draws.

[1:00:37] Alyssa: Yes. Um it's Dutch.

[1:00:42] Andrew: Alyssa, do you uh you know how this damn thing goes? Do you have any Glackett grievances that you would like to bring to light?

[1:00:49] Alyssa: Oh my gosh. Um, in the past few weeks, honestly, like I agree with everybody. It's been really easy. Um the most recent one that really killed me. Um I allowed to talk about like the Patreon released episode. I think. So as I've talked to you before, Andrew, I am like a Blaine stan and claims Dan and things like that. And I've really felt the absence of that ever since Alison's been gone.

[1:01:23] Andrew: Interesting. Thought provoking.

[1:01:27] Alyssa: Even though people have brought up time and time again, maybe Alison isn't the best representation of a blame fan.

[1:01:34] Andrew: Okay, this is true. This is a little true, but it's okay. Humble.

[1:01:40] Alyssa: But yeah, no. Um, I was, you know, I was like, I was just kind of doing stuff. I was doing my chores, and I was like, okay, misery's been pulled. It's probably fine. It'll be great. Everyone loves misery. And then I looked away for two seconds, and then I was like, chasing pavements is going through. And I was like, what? Right. What? I'm everybody remembers where they were.

[1:02:03] Andrew: I'm so sorry.

[1:02:05] Alyssa: Oh, it's okay. It's it's fine. It's my culture. It's not everyone's culture, I guess. I am really finding out that that is not everyone's culture.

[1:02:16] Claudia: Sure.

[1:02:18] Alyssa: Like you have to be a daydreamer to get it.

[1:02:22] Andrew: Daydreamers get it.

[1:02:24] Alyssa: They do.

[1:02:25] Andrew: They do. Blame dreamers.

[1:02:28] Alyssa: Blame dreamers.

[1:02:30] Andrew: Oh my god.

[1:02:31] Alyssa: No. So yeah. I I think when Amelia was talking about um meeting Darren Cross a year and a half ago. I was like, oh my gosh, I had like the a similar experience, but fully like 10 years ago. I'm around the same age as you guys. So I was like, oh, that made me feel a little older.

[1:02:45] Andrew: Star Kid era?

[1:02:48] Alyssa: Yes. Oh for sure. I went to space tour. I went to listen up.

[1:02:51] Andrew: Oh.

[1:02:52] Alyssa: Yes. So that uh I was just listening to the Space Tour album because that showed up on my extreme mega uh spiritual theater playlist, day list.

[1:03:05] Andrew: Oh, yeah.

[1:03:06] Alyssa: Um, and it hit damn it hit.

[1:03:06] Andrew: It hit.

[1:03:11] Alyssa: Yeah.

[1:03:11] Andrew: I thought you were asking, Alyssa.

[1:03:13] Alyssa: Oh.

[1:03:15] Andrew: It did hit, yeah.

[1:03:16] Alyssa: It definitely hit, and uh I I still to this day, I mean, I've mentioned this so many goddamn times on this godforsaken podcast. The listen up tour, where's that album, Darren? Where's that?

[1:03:27] Alyssa: Oh my god, I don't know. He always teases stuff, and then it just never happens or appears.

[1:03:33] Andrew: It never happens.

[1:03:34] Alyssa: Yes. It's like uh whole ass one thing, sir.

[1:03:38] Andrew: Yes, I whole ass one thing. Stop half assing every little fucking little.

[1:03:44] Alyssa: Did he half ass like this? I'm still angry. I'm still angry about the fucking Christmas tour, motherfucker. You fucking cancel your fucking Minneapolis date, and then you want to come to fucking Madison, Wisconsin, bitch. Fuck you.

[1:03:58] Andrew: Sorry, I'm but did he did he didn't half ass the album though? Would you would you say that the album the Merry Christmas?

[1:04:06] Alyssa: Darren Christmas. Babe.

[1:04:10] Andrew: It would be really hard to ask.

[1:04:15] Alyssa: Yeah. No, he's done live streams. He's done a lot of things that have like teased other things, and that's the only time you'll ever hear like song A, B, or C. He'll be like, oh yes, coming out for like an album that I'm like, I've been on working on stuff. It never happens, it never appears.

[1:04:31] Andrew: Can I Public Enemy number one, Darren Chris? Darren Everett Chris. I love this. Looking at you. Um he's in the chat tonight, and he's really, really he's he feels sorry, is what he's saying. He feels really bad.

[1:04:44] Alyssa: Um but I will say on the on the topic of Darren Chris's career, I guess. Um, a little segue. Um I seeing Little Shop of Wars with Darren Chris, I was thinking in in like a different universe, like my everything everywhere all at once, of like me being like a New York Times journalist, being like what would be my like headline of seeing Little Shop of Wars with Darren Chris. I would like literally say maybe it needs a little like workshopping, but like a lot of people are coming for Blaine Anderson, but what they're getting is Andrew Kunanin. They're getting Andrew Kunanin and they're seeing a live performance by Andrew Kunan in the musical.

[1:05:19] Andrew: Oh my god.

[1:05:20] Alyssa: That's honestly I'm like, I was just I like because I was like, oh, we're gonna go see Blaine. We're gonna go see it's night out with Blaine. But no, I was like, I was terrified of this man actually.

[1:05:32] Andrew: That's great. He has the range, he really does. And no one really knows because they just think of Blaine.

[1:05:39] Alyssa: They think of Blaine. And like it during his like press story, he talks a lot about like he like it's regurgitating the same thing, obviously. But he he'll like say, like a lot of the characters that I've played have gone to extremes for their career. And I was like, oh, what what has Blaine done? What did Blaine do? Right reveal his sexuality towards birds? He's gone towards birds. Career and being Kurt's boyfriend, I guess.

[1:06:11] Andrew: Right, right. I know. I guess Shirley McLean wasn't too happy about that one.

[1:06:15] Alyssa: Oh never. Um Glack other Glack competitions, was it simply just misery and chasing pavements or that was the most recent one, honestly. Like most of round two has been really chill for me. I've been like, yeah, that makes sense.

[1:06:27] Andrew: Yeah, that makes sense.

[1:06:30] Alyssa: I it's really it's it's the discourse around talking about like Blaine and Clain and the men. That's like, yeah, because I'm I too uh, you know, defend the men. I think we are a men's rights podcast We always have been actually.

[1:06:43] Andrew: Exactly during International Women's Month.

[1:06:43] Alyssa: Fuck yeah those men why oh my god what are we what are we rooting for Oh definitely anything with Blaine anything with Oh actually okay here's something I've remembered um y'all have really come for all the Kurt solos and things like that and I I will defend a Kurt solo I will um most of my Glee playlists are really just Clay playlists so like I have like intimate knowledge of all of those songs so like every curve play not to put you on the spot because I'm like struggling to recall right now how many cur how many kolos are left right now I can think of two and I think that might be it Rose's turn Rose's turn and I'll remember is the left really oh when as if we never said goodbye was was sent home that's but that was against like what the boogie shoes what was that against it was against boogie shoes yes it was okay see yeah I'm sorry but like shoes right I think Rose's turn is coming out of that goddamn cup right now right now let's see right now man it's really having its moment right now like everywhere um it is I think quite possibly, quite possibly, I feel almost confident saying shortest song on the Glacket.

[1:08:22] Andrew: Oh.

[1:08:24] Alyssa: Shortest.

[1:08:25] Andrew: In round two or in general.

[1:08:28] Alyssa: And it made it to round two.

[1:08:30] Andrew: People are guessing correctly in the chat.

[1:08:33] Alyssa: Really? That made it to round.

[1:08:36] Andrew: Yes.

[1:08:37] Alyssa: Wow.

[1:08:42] Andrew: You see. It doesn't take a scientist to understand what's going on, baby.

[1:08:51] Alyssa: Oh.

[1:08:53] Andrew: What did we think, guys? What was that against in round one?

[1:08:57] Alyssa: That one. That was against someone correct me if I'm wrong. That was against I Just Can't Stop Loving You.

[1:09:04] Claudia: Amelia, thank you.

[1:09:05] Alyssa: Yes, I was correct. Okay. Alright. Who even sings that?

[1:09:10] Andrew: That's a Finchel Duet in the Michael Jackson episode.

[1:09:13] Alyssa: Yes, it is.

[1:09:15] Andrew: Okay. Alright. I stand by it. You know.

[1:09:21] Alyssa: What are my thoughts on this? How many thoughts can you have?

[1:09:25] Andrew: About 25 minutes.

[1:09:25] Alyssa: I know on 17 seconds.

[1:09:27] Andrew: Yeah. I can go on for 17,000 hours about this song.

[1:09:33] Alyssa: Oh.

[1:09:34] Andrew: Go ahead, Andrew. I really have my schedule.

[1:09:38] Alyssa: Right. I don't have anything to do.

[1:09:41] Andrew: Um Crush Gleakast version by Gleecast. I really love. I do stand by it winning against I Just Can't Stop Loving You. Like, that's like easily, again, without looking at a list, the most forgettable Finchel duet.

[1:09:56] Alyssa: Yeah.

[1:09:57] Andrew: Um it is from Eduardo was pointing out it was from the this crush was from the trend episode in round one, which was iconic.

[1:10:04] Alyssa: Yes. Love trend on bad.

[1:10:06] Andrew: Um and I just really love this song. I I I think that it kind of claims icon status for making its way onto Glee the Music Volume Two, despite it simply being a 17-second performance in the episode. They were like, this is released as a single not only, but it's also going to be um featured in Glee the Music Volume Two. And I'm not a huge fan of Glee the Music Volume Two, but I love this girl. I stream her, I do listen to her the entire way through, not frequently, but you know, she's there when I'm feeling in a little crush mood. You know, I'm allowed to crush every now and then.

[1:10:48] Alyssa: Sure. Just a harmless crush.

[1:10:50] Andrew: Yeah. Um I would love if this did the stun of the century and made it to round three. Crazy. Would be absolutely insane. Because it it this I don't want to go off of the studio album. I don't want to go off of the studio recording. I want to go off of this 17-second performance.

[1:11:08] Alyssa: That's true.

[1:11:09] Andrew: Thank you. Yes, bringing it down for yes. I want it it needs to be represented. Yeah. Can't think of the MP3. We have to consider just this MP4. Just the MP4.

[1:11:18] Alyssa: Yes. Um for me, what this brings up, um, just something a fun fact about me is that I actually didn't watch season one when it came out. I watched the pilot. Um and I uh wasn't like a big fan of it when it originally came out. Like my my hot take in general just is that I didn't actually watch Glee until specifically until Never Been Kissed because Darren Chris is gonna be on that episode.

[1:11:46] Alyssa: Yep, uh Darren Chris stand first. Come for the Darren, stay for the claim.

[1:11:52] Andrew: Yeah. Right. I did. Honestly, I always tell people I came for Darren and I ended up staying for Kurt and Blaine.

[1:11:57] Alyssa: Uh-huh. And you can you can stick around even further for Andrew Kunanin.

[1:12:01] Andrew: Yes.

[1:12:04] Alyssa: It's been a it's been a long, it's been a long journey with Darren over the past uh however many years, 15. Um yeah, but yeah, I um I actually re-watched season one. I watched all of season one rather for the first time, I think, at the beginning of the pandemic. I had never actually seen the whole thing. And I was like, you know, this show's pretty funny. It's not season two. It's nothing like the rest of Glee at all, honestly. It's like a different show. I I've seen a lot of people talk about like I only liked season one, or I liked seasons two through six, and season one just feels like a different show to me. And I'm like, No, I can vibe with that. I understand.

[1:12:42] Alyssa: Filmed on film.

[1:12:47] Andrew: Yeah. Well, I I also didn't watch season one live, so I'm with you on that. Um I think I like the first episode I watched live was like truly what was like the episode after the Super Bowl episode. That was um silly love songs. But that was like the first episode that I like distinctly like caught up and just like watching live. But yeah, I think that like altered something in my brain that it was like season one isn't, you know, it wasn't like a week to week schedule for me, you know?

[1:13:16] Alyssa: And so like it doesn't have that history of being like so ingrained or yeah, I don't know. I need the history of watching it week to week to really feel attached. And season two is that girl for me. Season two is everything to me. It's like I remember almost I remember specific like feelings I had about every almost every single episode in season two.

[1:13:37] Allison: Oh, yes.

[1:13:38] Alyssa: Um yeah.

[1:13:39] Claudia: But everybody remembers where they were week to week.

[1:13:43] Alyssa: Yes.

[1:13:43] Allison: Yes.

[1:13:44] Alyssa: Yes.

[1:13:45] Alyssa: I was holding a water bottle for the claim kiss in season two, and I fully like spilled the entire bottle the moment they're incredible. Never forget that.

[1:13:56] Claudia: Anyway.

[1:13:57] Alyssa: Clay kind of spilled in that scene too.

[1:14:00] Alyssa: Um Crush. What do we what do we think? Someone in the chat is asking, without looking at a list, what would this be in round two? Like what song is this is this taking down to you.

[1:14:14] Andrew: Well, I Alyssa, how do you feel about Rider?

[1:14:19] Alyssa: Rider.

[1:14:21] Andrew: Rider?

[1:14:22] Alyssa: Because I'm thinking of like an unpopular character. Like a Rai Dolo.

[1:14:25] Andrew: Like would Alyssa vote a Ry Dolo through over Crush.

[1:14:31] Alyssa: Oh, it depends. I think. Oh, I don't like Ryder as a character, but I think the only thing that would beat it for me is like jukebox hero. Just because I like it.

[1:14:38] Claudia: Which is still around.

[1:14:40] Alyssa: Yes.

[1:14:41] Andrew: Okay.

[1:14:41] Alyssa: Yeah. That's the only one. Um Crush is funny. It's got the humor. It's got, you know.

[1:14:47] Alyssa: She's sitting in the back seat.

[1:14:50] Alyssa: I'm a spoofy girl.

[1:14:52] Claudia: Yeah.

[1:14:52] Alyssa: She was she's in an Uber.

[1:14:55] Alyssa: A shoeber.

[1:14:56] Claudia: Shooper.

[1:14:58] Alyssa: Oh god. Thank you. The carousel. There we go. That was line number seven, everybody on the character.

[1:15:05] Alyssa: Everything I do, I do for you. Um I I I simply want it to go to round three for the stunt of it all.

[1:15:13] Alyssa: For the memes. And then it wins the Glacket for the memes.

[1:15:15] Andrew: Yeah, let us epox stays already out. We need we need some wild card in there.

[1:15:21] Alyssa: Um, Alyssa, you have been like kind of like this is so like uh uh Emily's role again. But um these two songs that you have here are two songs that nobody ever thinks about.

[1:15:35] Alyssa: Um this is from this is the surprising Artolo that made it to round two.

[1:15:44] Andrew: I believe from the same episode in round one as people.

[1:15:48] Alyssa: Here we go.

[1:15:49] Alyssa: Oh god.

[1:15:51] Alyssa: My god, fellas nabbidad, fellas nappy dad, fellas nappy dad, prospero andoy fellis dad, Feli Snappy Dad, Feli Snappy Dad, Feli Snappy Dad, Prospero and Yoy Belly see that I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas, I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas, I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart Feli Snappy Daddy Snappy Daddy Snappy Dad, Rospero and Yoy Belly see dad, Feli Snappy Dad, Feli Snappy Dad, Feli Snappy Dad, Rospero and Yoy Betty Sad.

[1:15:51] Alyssa: I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas.

[1:15:51] Alyssa: I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas.

[1:15:51] Alyssa: I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart.

[1:16:51] Alyssa: I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas.

[1:16:54] Alyssa: I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas.

[1:16:57] Alyssa: I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart.

[1:17:15] Alyssa: Um we died. This might be my favorite competition of all time on the This is crazy that Crush is going through to round three.

[1:17:26] Claudia: I'm in shock.

[1:17:27] Alyssa: I'm just like, I don't have any recollection of this song even insisting. Like what literally, like it's so forgettable.

[1:17:34] Alyssa: I mean, sweet sweet, sweet, sweet Kevin McHale doing great. He's great.

[1:17:39] Alyssa: Singing great, dancing. You're doing great work.

[1:17:44] Alyssa: You're doing great work. We just don't care.

[1:17:47] Alyssa: You know, I was I felt like I, you know, I I did watch that season live. I felt like I was watching that for the first time. I was like, that's so nice. You're doing great, you're dancing.

[1:17:55] Alyssa: With all these characters, wow, Kurt's in this, Finn's in this. We got Barty in this somehow. Like, okay, great. Cool.

[1:18:04] Andrew: So that took me out.

[1:18:08] Alyssa: Allison you saying you're doing great work, we just don't care. Like, I don't think that I could have encapsulated Felice Navi died.

[1:18:21] Alyssa: In a better way than you're doing great work. We just don't care.

[1:18:30] Alyssa: Does anyone even remember the context of what why this is occurring?

[1:18:35] Andrew: Okay, so this is the wait, do you want I Alison?

[1:18:39] Allison: Go ahead. I'll explain.

[1:18:40] Alyssa: So this is this is uh Glee actually. Is this Glee actually or is this actually and Artie uh wishes that he had never been uh in his accident where he uh became disabled and now uh in this freakish um what's the It's a Wonderful Life.

[1:19:05] Andrew: It the title is It's a Wonderful Life, but in my head I was like, Thanks for all the memories.

[1:19:11] Alyssa: Even though they weren't so great.

[1:19:13] Allison: Exactly.

[1:19:14] Alyssa: Um so in a kind of it's a wonderful life-ish way, um suddenly Artie has working legs, and uh, but then he sees the repercussions of that.

[1:19:27] Claudia: Um Quinn always texts and drives in every timeline and dies.

[1:19:32] Alyssa: Yes.

[1:19:32] Claudia: Um and uh Qu nobody uh fucking Glee Club never exists, yada yada yet.

[1:19:39] Alyssa: Right Becky is pregnant, Becky's pregnant.

[1:19:43] Claudia: Um Tina still has her stutter.

[1:19:45] Alyssa: Um and then I think that uh a moment that's often overlooked in this episode is that um like Finn, Mike Chang and Puck, Mike Chang specifically is inexplicably like held back and like in this dream scenario where like Ryder exists and Jake exists, um that like they're all still at the school, but like Rory, who's like narrating this entire jour journey, isn't like, yeah, and they all got held back.

[1:20:19] Alyssa: They shouldn't be here anymore, but they got held back.

[1:20:21] Claudia: They're just like all still there.

[1:20:23] Alyssa: And I'm like, why?

[1:20:25] Claudia: Um but Quinn dying is really the gag.

[1:20:30] Alyssa: Hilarious.

[1:20:30] Claudia: Yes.

[1:20:31] Alyssa: I uh when you said Glee actually, I was like, ah, yes, the episode where Rory says that she dies and she gets hit by a car in every timeline.

[1:20:38] Claudia: In every universe, Quinn be on that damn phone.

[1:20:41] Alyssa: She should be on her damn phone.

[1:20:42] Claudia: God damn it.

[1:20:44] Alyssa: Um even though Crush is 17 seconds long, it has more potential than Felice Navidad.

[1:20:53] Claudia: You know, this is like something further than a mid versus mid.

[1:20:56] Alyssa: I don't know what to call this.

[1:20:58] Claudia: Right.

[1:20:59] Alyssa: This is a weird versus a weird.

[1:21:02] Claudia: I I think it's iconic versus um you're doing great work, we just don't care.

[1:21:02] Alyssa: We just don't care.

[1:21:10] Claudia: Like how versus how.

[1:21:12] Alyssa: Like how did these I know what are you doing here?

[1:21:12] Claudia: What are you doing here?

[1:21:17] Alyssa: Uh I will say because um Felice Navidad, how did the history of Felice Navidad, the ancestry.com of Felice Navidad.

[1:21:27] Claudia: Yeah, yeah.

[1:21:27] Alyssa: Um, what happened in round one and how did it get here now?

[1:21:30] Claudia: Um it was in the Charlie Moon episode.

[1:21:33] Alyssa: Okay.

[1:21:34] Claudia: And um looking around.

[1:21:38] Alyssa: Um if you know, you know.

[1:21:40] Claudia: Uh in the Charlie Moon episode, and Charlie and you both voted for Felice Navidad over Uptown Funk because you recognized more characters in it.

[1:21:56] Alyssa: When we talk about what makes a song, you know, for the recognizability.

[1:22:02] Claudia: I just remember one time I was like, you know what's a song that Glee would do?

[1:22:02] Alyssa: You know what's a song Glee would do? Uptown funk.

[1:22:10] Claudia: And then you were like, they did do it.

[1:22:12] Alyssa: I'm dead.

[1:22:14] Claudia: You're gonna have to sit down for this one.

[1:22:18] Alyssa: Oh no.

[1:22:20] Claudia: I'm seeing someone saying we should we could we should trade out Felice Navida for safety dance.

[1:22:23] Alyssa: Then I'm like, can we?

[1:22:25] Claudia: Oh, I wish.

[1:22:26] Alyssa: I wish.

[1:22:28] Claudia: I wish.

[1:22:29] Alyssa: I think um Amelia, if you can get this fast fact to us, great. If not, no worries. But how how many Artolos?

[1:22:37] Claudia: Because I think the vote here is the vote is on crush.

[1:22:42] Alyssa: Right.

[1:22:42] Claudia: Crush crushes crush.

[1:22:44] Alyssa: We're crushing.

[1:22:45] Claudia: Yeah.

[1:22:46] Alyssa: Um, yeah, but I'm curious, like, because I know like never going back again is made it to round three, but like what other artolas do we have?

[1:22:54] Claudia: Um, spreadsheet people.

[1:22:57] Alyssa: Spreadsheet people, Amelia, no rush.

[1:23:00] Claudia: Oh, Lisa is bringing up honesty.

[1:23:03] Alyssa: Honesty somehow made it to round two.

[1:23:07] Claudia: Honesty.

[1:23:08] Alyssa: While we're waiting, I keep thinking that crush for some reason is crushed by David Archuletta.

[1:23:14] Claudia: And then I for and then I realized they didn't do that song on Glee.

[1:23:19] Alyssa: I would love that.

[1:23:21] Claudia: Oh that was so sweet.

[1:23:24] Alyssa: Wait, what? Why was David Archuletta on Glee?

[1:23:27] Claudia: Because he was doing his mission.

[1:23:28] Alyssa: I don't know.

[1:23:29] Claudia: He would have been so cute.

[1:23:30] Alyssa: He's so adorable to me.

[1:23:33] Claudia: Um Amelia is saying that there are six Artolos still left in the glacket.

[1:23:39] Alyssa: One of which is oh no.

[1:23:42] Claudia: Five.

[1:23:43] Alyssa: One, two, three, four, five, six.

[1:23:46] Claudia: One is leaving right now.

[1:23:48] Alyssa: One has made it to round three, and the other ones are stronger, pretty young thing.

[1:23:53] Claudia: Isn't she lovely in honesty?

[1:23:55] Alyssa: Okay.

[1:23:56] Claudia: No, those are great.

[1:23:57] Alyssa: Those are great.

[1:23:57] Claudia: I love PYT.

[1:23:59] Alyssa: I love those one.

[1:24:00] Claudia: You know, they'll be fine.

[1:24:02] Alyssa: They'll be good.

[1:24:03] Claudia: We we can remove Felice Navy Fabi Todd, I think.

[1:24:07] Alyssa: Right.

[1:24:08] Claudia: Um, Alyssa, thank you so much simply for everything.

[1:24:12] Alyssa: Um stand you down, um, obsessed with you, and thank you for helping us with the Glackett.

[1:24:12] Alyssa: Thank you.

[1:24:18] Alyssa: Thank you for having me.

[1:24:19] Alyssa: And also thank you for voting fighter through.

[1:24:22] Alyssa: I am a full fan.

[1:24:24] Alyssa: Thank you so much.

[1:24:25] Alyssa: And uh I'm so happy to have been on for this iconic matchup.

[1:24:29] Claudia: Oh my god.

[1:24:30] Alyssa: Really, really a famous.

[1:24:32] Alyssa: It will go down in glistery for sure.

[1:24:33] Claudia: It will go down in glistery in the glister books.

[1:24:36] Alyssa: I love you guys.

[1:24:37] Claudia: Thank you.

[1:24:38] Alyssa: Love you!

[1:24:38] Claudia: Hi, love you too.

[1:24:40] Andrew: Um our last leak this week, Claudia.

[1:24:45] Andrew: You're in the chat still, right, girly?

[1:24:47] Claudia: Girly pop.

[1:24:48] Andrew: Girly pop.

[1:24:49] Andrew: Girly, are you still here?

[1:24:51] Claudia: Thanks for making me a five.

[1:24:54] Claudia: I'm here.

[1:24:55] Andrew: Claudia!

[1:24:56] Alyssa: Oh my god.

[1:24:58] Andrew: Oh my god.

[1:24:59] Claudia: Claudia, how are you?

[1:25:02] Claudia: I'm so good.

[1:25:03] Claudia: I was I'm like sweating, happy, joy, nervous.

[1:25:08] Claudia: I'm so excited.

[1:25:09] Claudia: All my friends will be happy for me too.

[1:25:12] Andrew: For context, Claudia, we we bet we went to Glee Dollar Bill.

[1:25:19] Andrew: Message and was like, We need to we need to say hello to each other in in person.

[1:25:24] Claudia: We did that.

[1:25:26] Andrew: And then you also went to the Katie Gaga live stream, and then you were like, what are your plans after this?

[1:25:31] Claudia: And I was like, you know what? She seems chill. Let's uh let's let's go to uh duplex.

[1:25:37] Andrew: And so she on my birthday even for duplex.

[1:25:42] Claudia: And we did it.

[1:25:42] Andrew: We did it.

[1:25:43] Claudia: We did the damn thing.

[1:25:44] Andrew: Um, Claudia, I'm so grateful that you're here.

[1:25:48] Andrew: What Glackett grievances would you like to air out at this very moment?

[1:25:53] Claudia: Uh, I actually crazily enough, Alison had a bunch of my grievances, which I thought I was kind of like not like other girls for, but guess I am like every single um yeah, losing religion was up there for me.

[1:26:08] Claudia: Sing by my my chemical romance was like I don't know why I was so into that one back in the day.

[1:26:16] Claudia: I my I think I'm like maybe a little bit older than Amelia and younger than you guys, but I'm like right in between of like I watched some of it live and some of it not.

[1:26:29] Claudia: Um I remember seeing just being on this CD that I got in a like as a party favor at a birthday party, and I just really liked it.

[1:26:39] Claudia: And that's how I like discovered all the glee music.

[1:26:41] Alyssa: So that one I don't have the same history.

[1:26:44] Claudia: It doesn't land for me.

[1:26:46] Alyssa: Yeah, but I love this for you.

[1:26:48] Claudia: Yeah.

[1:26:48] Alyssa: I think I'm trying to think of other ones that I was upset about.

[1:26:51] Claudia: I mean, creep, creep keeps being in the chat.

[1:26:54] Alyssa: Creep meth.

[1:26:56] Claudia: What is with your you creepers?

[1:26:59] Claudia: I have played that at like parties before and not Gleecast version by Gleekast.

[1:27:06] Alyssa: Yep.

[1:27:06] Claudia: Just like I've done that a few times of just expecting other people to glee music and sometimes put it up on the TV, the MP4.

[1:27:14] Claudia: That one's always in my uh docket.

[1:27:18] Alyssa: Interesting.

[1:27:20] Alyssa: I wanna point out, like I feel like Claudia, when did you start listening to Gleak of the Week podcast?

[1:27:28] Claudia: Okay.

[1:27:29] Claudia: Like in like no hey, you it doesn't matter.

[1:27:31] Claudia: No, it's okay.

[1:27:32] Claudia: You can give me today.

[1:27:33] Claudia: I did a really good um podcast review that speaks my truth.

[1:27:38] Claudia: I don't listen to podcasts like at all.

[1:27:39] Alyssa: Oh, it's beautiful.

[1:27:40] Claudia: It's a great review, yes.

[1:27:43] Claudia: And I found you guys, I think actually through um Kevin and Jenna, just because I like they posted about it on Instagram.

[1:27:51] Andrew: I listened to like episode of theirs. That's how I found you guys, and I've just been addicted ever since. Um so that was like in like last spring, about a year-ish. So I think there's a stark, not this is not a bad thing, a stark difference between the people that have started listening in the past year and then the people that either listened and still listen or listened and stopped listening, like first year of the pod.

[1:28:19] Andrew: Because losing my religion, Claudia, where were you when I was fighting for my goddamn life?

[1:28:28] Claudia: Claudia wasn't even born yet.

[1:28:30] Andrew: Exactly.

[1:28:32] Claudia: I was in the fucking Zoom call being like, this is delicious, please.

[1:28:38] Andrew: Well, I think also just legal note, legal note, legal note, annoying, but like context is key here. Losing my religion was in our episode with sentimental men. And when we have had episodes with two guests during round one, and both of the guests vote against us, they have the hierarchy.

[1:29:01] Andrew: And so they both did do that. They both voted for We Will Rock You and it just sucked.

[1:29:08] Claudia: It sucked, okay.

[1:29:09] Allison: Oh my god.

[1:29:10] Andrew: And then We Will Rock You was against Call Me Maybe and thank God Call Me Maybe won in round two, because that is one of my, I haven't done my own personal Glackett, but I think Call Me Maybe would make it so far.

[1:29:21] Alyssa: And I think I said this to you in person one time, Andrew, and you were like, um, okay.

[1:29:25] Andrew: No, I do like it. I do like it.

[1:29:27] Alyssa: Call Me Maybe ebbs and flows for me. I really like it some days, but other days I'm like, I don't know, could do without. I do stream it though, I'm like, oh, this is hitting in a way that I think it is, and I said this is a Derek and John. I think it's hitting better than the Carly Slay Jepsen.

[1:29:44] Claudia: They're slaying harder than Carly herself.

[1:29:47] Alyssa: Agreed.

[1:29:48] Andrew: I'm sorry.

[1:29:48] Alyssa: They're trying. The ad libs, when I hear like Carly Jepsen version, I sing the Glee ad libs. I've done plenty of time.

[1:29:57] Alyssa: So Call Me Maybe.

[1:29:59] Andrew: Yes.

[1:30:00] Alyssa: Exactly. I had one more grievance that I forgot, and it's at the top of my notes app. And I'll see you in person.

[1:30:04] Alyssa: But Blow Me One Last Kiss is like top tier for me. I love it.

[1:30:11] Claudia: Interesting.

[1:30:13] Alyssa: I love it.

[1:30:13] Claudia: Interesting.

[1:30:14] Alyssa: I love it.

[1:30:15] Claudia: And I think in the episode where it got voted out, you guys were specifically saying that you didn't like the arrangement or the vocals.

[1:30:21] Alyssa: And I love the harmonies in that. I just like scream that in the car. It is one of my favorites ever, ever, ever.

[1:30:28] Claudia: See, it doesn't do anything for me. I'm so sorry.

[1:30:31] Alyssa: Okay. That was in our episode with a plug, Damien McGuinty. Um, but I don't like it.

[1:30:39] Alyssa: And I think I really struggle because I compare it to other Marley and Unique duets. And that one's, it's a hard thing to satisfy that category.

[1:30:51] Claudia: Fair enough.

[1:30:52] Alyssa: I also think the context is kind of like meh, like are they auditioning for something?

[1:30:57] Claudia: Auditioning for Greece.

[1:30:58] Alyssa: Yeah, like I don't really just really like.

[1:31:00] Claudia: I think, yeah, I think it's just I like their vocals together, and then something about that scratches an itch in my brain. I like it a lot.

[1:31:06] Alyssa: If I do the Glackett in 10 years, maybe I'll have a changed perspective and Blow Me One Last Kiss is finally having a great day.

[1:31:13] Andrew: And I'll be this is Sandra announcing that once the Glackett is over he's just starting over again. Here we go different opinions let's do it again run it back because I've definitely thought about doing that where I'm like it literally it would be a completely different Glackett the second time around it would.

[1:31:32] Alyssa: I believe um but what are we rooting for tonight? Are we looking because I feel like a lot of people are looking for men tonight.

[1:31:41] Claudia: You know me. I'm always in your DMs you know me at this point.

[1:31:44] Alyssa: I'm not looking.

[1:31:44] Claudia: You're not looking for the—oh I didn't mean it in that way but that too I didn't mean it in that um no I'm like when I watched Glee originally I was a really big um Brittany girl um now I mean just in general I'm I'm Britannia always but I'm a big Santana girly.

[1:32:05] Alyssa: I have been real I know everyone says it this is the like coldest take ever but Mercedes is just so underused in the show and every time I hear her voice I just like it makes me want to rip my hair out because it's so good.

[1:32:19] Claudia: Um understand how they didn't do so much more with her.

[1:32:23] Alyssa: Um and this is so not looking not looking for men except I was looking through the like some songs that we're still waiting to pull for round two and something I would be interested to listen to is um Mr. Roboto Counting Stars.

[1:32:37] Claudia: Mr. Roboto Counting Stars is actually really really good and I'm so glad we're finally having this conversation.

[1:32:44] Alyssa: It's actually really good, and I think it would make me really like happy to get to watch that right now.

[1:32:51] Claudia: I don't I remember what I don't know why I really I just think it's good and funny.

[1:32:56] Alyssa: I think I want something funny, something a little I love this generation of Glackators glisteners.

[1:33:02] Claudia: I love everybody that listened to this podcast.

[1:33:04] Alyssa: What the fuck did you just say?

[1:33:06] Claudia: I was thinking about this time.

[1:33:08] Alyssa: I just in case I just needed to have something special to say.

[1:33:12] Claudia: Like I don't know the other girl syndrome, maybe.

[1:33:15] Alyssa: Yes.

[1:33:16] Claudia: I love it.

[1:33:16] Alyssa: I love it.

[1:33:17] Claudia: I was I oops.

[1:33:19] Alyssa: No, no, go ahead.

[1:33:20] Claudia: No, finish that thought. My thought was just that since I'm kind of a recent listener, I've been going back to the beginning and listening to all these old episodes like for the first time.

[1:33:29] Alyssa: And it's been really fun.

[1:33:30] Claudia: And I listened to that one when you guys pulled it originally, and I was like, low key slaps.

[1:33:36] Alyssa: I don't know.

[1:33:38] Claudia: It's so scary to me considering people are like listening to us have conversations that took place in 2021.

[1:33:44] Alyssa: Scary to me.

[1:33:46] Claudia: So scary.

[1:33:46] Alyssa: It's really sweet.

[1:33:47] Claudia: This is scary because this is really fueling my like parasocial like we're having a conversation.

[1:33:54] Alyssa: It's happening.

[1:33:55] Claudia: I your first song we already brought up, not in this specific chat, but in a chat earlier in this episode.

[1:34:05] Alyssa: Um I'm kind I'm really scared for her.

[1:34:10] Claudia: I'm scared for her.

[1:34:12] Alyssa: I think she's good.

[1:34:14] Claudia: Wait, I clicked on the wrong file.

[1:34:17] Alyssa: If it's Rose's turn, I'll poop my pants.

[1:34:20] Claudia: You know what? It's not Rose's turn, but it's actually her sister.

[1:34:25] Alyssa: I'll remember.

[1:34:29] Claudia: Oh?

[1:34:30] Alyssa: You can't say goodbye to not know and when the truth in my whole life began.

[1:34:44] Claudia: Say goodbye to not knowing how to cry me back and I'll remember the love that you gave me now that I'm standing on my own I'll remember the way that you change me I'll remember I learned to let go of the losses.

[1:35:30] Alyssa: It really is, yes.

[1:35:33] Claudia: I learned to let go I travel in stillness and I'll remember the love that you gave me now that I'm standing on my own I'll remember the way that you change me.

[1:36:03] Alyssa: I remember no I've never been afraid to cry, and I finally have a reason why I'll remember.

[1:36:18] Claudia: No, I've never been afraid to cry, and I finally have a reason why.

[1:36:30] Alyssa: Oh.

[1:36:31] Claudia: He kind of ruins it at the end, unfortunately.

[1:36:34] Alyssa: I'll remember.

[1:36:36] Claudia: I was really vibing up the door.

[1:36:42] Alyssa: I'll remember.

[1:36:44] Claudia: A new scent from Ed Hardy.

[1:36:47] Alyssa: I don't fucking know.

[1:36:47] Claudia: What the fuck?

[1:36:49] Alyssa: That was good.

[1:36:49] Claudia: I love her.

[1:36:51] Alyssa: I really do.

[1:36:52] Claudia: I didn't think that I would love this as no, looking around everybody else's kind of like stank face.

[1:36:58] Claudia: Where does I'll remember land for you?

[1:37:02] Alyssa: I don't know. Were you scared for her because of I don't I like don't always go for a color I'll say.

[1:37:09] Claudia: Um, you know, and then not looking for the men of it all.

[1:37:12] Alyssa: But I do like this one a lot.

[1:37:15] Claudia: I think his voice sounds really good. I think there's some songs where it's not the most suited for our king's voice, but I think this one is very good.

[1:37:23] Alyssa: And sex, of course, is very like emotional, and just seeing them all like smile and be cutesy.

[1:37:30] Claudia: Yeah.

[1:37:31] Alyssa: That carried a lot for me.

[1:37:33] Claudia: Yeah. I think the emotional resonance is doing the heavy lifting here.

[1:37:38] Alyssa: Um I still like it. I am like, I think the reason I'm scared is because Kurt's only solo, the only solo left if this doesn't go through is Rose's turn, which is a lot to put on her.

[1:37:54] Claudia: It's frankly too much.

[1:37:57] Alyssa: Oh damn.

[1:37:59] Claudia: That's crazy.

[1:38:01] Alyssa: Um, I love, I just love listening to songs that I would hear in a hotel lobby in Fort Worth, Texas.

[1:38:11] Claudia: I really love um this easy listening muzak ass elevator music.

[1:38:17] Alyssa: Stop it bullshit.

[1:38:19] Claudia: I'm so sorry.

[1:38:20] Alyssa: This is bad.

[1:38:22] Claudia: It's not funny.

[1:38:23] Alyssa: I like it.

[1:38:26] Claudia: Um legal note, legal note, legal note, because you guys all you guys deserve it. You guys have been such a great audience. You guys deserve a legal note.

[1:38:33] Alyssa: Um in the lyric that Kurt sings, I never caught this before until this watch. Kurt sings the lyric.

[1:38:40] Claudia: Now that I'm standing on my own, it shows Quinn and Artie looking at each other and singing the lyric.

[1:38:52] Alyssa: And I'm like, Oh, that's good. She is standing on her damn own now.

[1:38:58] Claudia: He's not.

[1:39:00] Alyssa: Right.

[1:39:01] Claudia: He will never.

[1:39:02] Alyssa: Actually, really.

[1:39:02] Claudia: That's a little cute TBT to I'm still standing, a little like um wink to the audience about Quinn standing and Artie not.

[1:39:11] Alyssa: Um does that add any points in its favor?

[1:39:15] Claudia: No.

[1:39:17] Alyssa: Definitely.

[1:39:18] Claudia: Yeah.

[1:39:19] Alyssa: Okay, great.

[1:39:21] Claudia: Being Alive is still in.

[1:39:22] Alyssa: Oh, Being Alive is still in.

[1:39:24] Claudia: Okay.

[1:39:24] Alyssa: Yeah, Being Alive is still in.

[1:39:26] Claudia: Don't worry, Rose's turn.

[1:39:28] Alyssa: Being Alive in Rose's turn compared to I'll Remember.

[1:39:33] Claudia: I am so sorry.

[1:39:35] Alyssa: That what is going on?

[1:39:37] Claudia: What is what is happening?

[1:39:39] Alyssa: Oh, okay. See, like this was that was fully me, like doing the same bit, like not looking at a list.

[1:39:44] Claudia: Um, I'm so sorry.

[1:39:46] Alyssa: That's okay.

[1:39:46] Claudia: I scared any Kurt stands at home.

[1:39:49] Alyssa: No, Kurt's gonna be fine with Being Alive in Rose's turn.

[1:39:52] Claudia: This is a hard pass for a—wait.

[1:39:54] Alyssa: Wait, now that I like I I forgot about Being Alive, am I forgetting any other ones?

[1:39:59] Claudia: I don't know.

[1:39:59] Alyssa: That's a job for Amelia.

[1:40:01] Claudia: Let us know while we um sorry for putting so much labor on you, Amelia.

[1:40:06] Alyssa: Amelia, you're the unpaid intern. Thank you so much for being here.

[1:40:09] Claudia: And she has been because I just listened to her first episode, and I'm pretty sure you specifically say that.

[1:40:15] Alyssa: She's gonna be on.

[1:40:17] Claudia: I have what a perfect song to end Alice and Dodge's episode here.

[1:40:25] Alyssa: Oh right now.

[1:40:27] Claudia: Oh, I'm so scared.

[1:40:29] Alyssa: Um everyone's going to absolutely shit their pants.

[1:40:34] Claudia: Oh, is it really?

[1:40:36] Alyssa: Well, no, it's it's not that.

[1:40:39] Claudia: But it's kind of like encapsulates you.

[1:40:41] Alyssa: I'm sure that you're referring to some somewhere we go sometimes.

[1:40:45] Claudia: Right.

[1:40:45] Alyssa: It's not that, but it encapsulates your vibe more than somewhere we go sometimes.

[1:40:51] Claudia: Okay, my chaos agent of chaos.

[1:40:53] Alyssa: It is Sway.

[1:40:58] Claudia: Oh fuck yeah.

[1:41:00] Alyssa: When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me.

[1:41:06] Claudia: Make me swing.

[1:41:07] Alyssa: Oh my god.

[1:41:08] Claudia: Like a lazy ocean.

[1:41:10] Alyssa: Elevator versus elevator.

[1:41:12] Claudia: Which one's going up quicker?

[1:41:13] Alyssa: Swimmy more.

[1:41:16] Claudia: Other dancers may be on the floor.

[1:41:19] Alyssa: Dear but my eyes will see all the things.

[1:41:22] Claudia: Oh my god.

[1:41:23] Alyssa: Only you have a magic technique.

[1:41:27] Claudia: When we sway, I go win the rhythms start to play.

[1:41:34] Alyssa: Dance with me.

[1:41:36] Claudia: Make me sway.

[1:41:38] Alyssa: Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore.

[1:41:42] Claudia: Hold me close.

[1:41:44] Alyssa: Oh make more swimming boy.

[1:41:48] Claudia: Like a flower bended in the breeze band with me.

[1:41:53] Alyssa: Sway with these.

[1:41:56] Claudia: When we dance to have a way with me.

[1:41:59] Alyssa: Stay with me.

[1:42:00] Claudia: Sway with me.

[1:42:04] Alyssa: Sway.

[1:42:06] Claudia: I feel it would only be appropriate that one person starts the discussion here.

[1:42:14] Alyssa: Wait, I'm joining my hot hot spot. One second.

[1:42:16] Claudia: Because I'm losing internet.

[1:42:19] Alyssa: Bad.

[1:42:20] Claudia: I thought that Sway was your hot spot.

[1:42:23] Alyssa: I think wait, now she's frozen.

[1:42:26] Andrew: I was freezing during that too, but I wasn't sure about it.

[1:42:30] Alyssa: Hello?

[1:42:31] Andrew: You're back.

[1:42:31] Alyssa: Yes.

[1:42:32] Andrew: Okay, thank God.

[1:42:33] Alyssa: My hotspot definitely didn't work.

[1:42:35] Andrew: Nice.

[1:42:36] Alyssa: Nice.

[1:42:37] Alyssa: Um, "Sway" is absolutely incredible.

[1:42:41] Alyssa: Easy listening in the best way possible.

[1:42:44] Alyssa: You know what? Like easy, easy like a Sunday morning. You know what I mean? Like, I just want to move my body to this. Um, and I will very rarely say that about a show. Like, I don't Mr. Shu not up there for me. Y'all know this. But "Sway" hits so different. It is what, uh, never gonna—what's his song where he's dressed up like a mariachi dancer?

[1:43:13] Andrew: "A Little Less Conversation."

[1:43:15] Alyssa: This is what he wanted to accomplish with this. Like he wanted people to move and feel something that this is that. Um, it's amazing, it's a great episode that it's from. The context is great, it's very fun. Uh, um, furt. I love it. 10 out of 10. Um, Claudia, your opinions on "Sway," Glee Cast version, my Glee cast.

[1:43:39] Claudia: Um, my Glee Cast version, my Gleecast. It's fun. I'm also not the biggest Shu Shu head, if you will. Um, the moment where he kicks the microphone and it comes back. Negative points, actually. Almost positive points. Negative.

[1:44:00] Andrew: Oh.

[1:44:00] Claudia: I don't know. That was really cool. That was so cool. And I really like that. And I wanted to see how to do that. I mean, it's cool. Actually, Claudia, just because you said that, that's slide number five on the carousel. I mean, he's cool, I guess. I okay, I do love Bert and Carol. Like, they're amazing. I love that aspect of his performance. I think both of these songs are very like context based that like give them which is I think a fun part of this little old glacket. Um, but yeah, I don't know. I don't I don't pull it. I don't love. Yeah, I don't know.

[1:44:40] Alyssa: You're not reaching for it.

[1:44:42] Claudia: You're not playing. Look up, hey Siri, play "Sway," Glee Cast version by Glee Cast. You're not doing that. Maybe I'll try going forward, but yeah, as of now, not so much. Um, I will say what I do reach for is Glee: The Music Volume 4. You know who you are. Those uh those volume four freakheads. You know who you are.

[1:45:01] Andrew: No, that's—don't play this shit with me. That's just blue one.

[1:45:06] Claudia: I think it's a bit at this point.

[1:45:11] Andrew: Five is orange.

[1:45:13] Claudia: Okay, okay, okay, okay. And I just—it's the best one.

[1:45:18] Alyssa: Six is the best one to you.

[1:45:19] Claudia: We've had this conversation way too many times. Um, but I just need to give a shout out that the fact that it does live in Glee: The Music Volume 4 land, that it's giving—it's getting a lot of extra bonus points here for me.

[1:45:33] Alyssa: Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

[1:45:35] Andrew: I—this competition, I both songs going into it without listening to them like ahead of time. I'm glad that like we watched these songs because I'm like, if I were to vote just based off vibes, I think that I would go for the color, but I kind of really did like what I saw with the show.

[1:45:58] Alyssa: Okay, you're working really hard and I love what you're doing.

[1:46:02] Claudia: Not quite. You're working really hard and I love what you're doing.

[1:46:06] Alyssa: Like no—oh wait, no, we wait.

[1:46:10] Claudia: You said that and I was thinking what you said earlier.

[1:46:13] Alyssa: Wait, what was the thing?

[1:46:14] Claudia: That's what I'm saying. What did I say earlier? It was like you're—I can tell you're working really hard, we just don't care.

[1:46:17] Alyssa: We just don't care.

[1:46:22] Claudia: And I think, okay, so Mr. Schuster is working really hard, and like I do care a little bit.

[1:46:29] Alyssa: Moderately.

[1:46:30] Claudia: I moderately care.

[1:46:31] Alyssa: Thank you.

[1:46:32] Claudia: Moderately. Um, I do—I will say that um I do think about the line from this episode where like Kurt and Will are trying to like teach Bert to dance, and um Kurt is saying, dance to the melody, not the lyrics, and I think about that constantly.

[1:46:51] Alyssa: So interesting.

[1:46:53] Claudia: Important.

[1:46:54] Alyssa: Really important things to consider.

[1:46:56] Claudia: What do I do if I want to sway to "Sway"?

[1:46:59] Alyssa: That's true.

[1:47:00] Claudia: What a bad example, right?

[1:47:02] Alyssa: Yeah.

[1:47:02] Claudia: I want to sway to "Sway." Like what the fuck? It's like you can't do that, apparently.

[1:47:06] Alyssa: Episode rules.

[1:47:07] Claudia: Um, I know my vote. I'm so scared.

[1:47:12] Alyssa: I don't want anyone to be scared.

[1:47:14] Claudia: But I don't want to—

[1:47:15] Alyssa: Too late.

[1:47:16] Claudia: Oh.

[1:47:17] Andrew: Well, oh.

[1:47:19] Claudia: I don't know who.

[1:47:20] Allison: Yep.

[1:47:22] Claudia: I'm saying "Sway."

[1:47:25] Andrew: Right.

[1:47:25] Claudia: Okay. Obviously.

[1:47:27] Alyssa: Clearly.

[1:47:28] Claudia: I'm going all—oh, wait.

[1:47:30] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:47:31] Claudia: Oops.

[1:47:32] Alyssa: Oops.

[1:47:32] Claudia: I already heard it.

[1:47:33] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:47:34] Claudia: But it's "I'll Remember." I think I want to say "I'll Remember."

[1:47:37] Alyssa: Yeah, I know.

[1:47:38] Claudia: And it's—what am I doing here? What was the point?

[1:47:47] Andrew: Thank you so much, Allison Dodge, for being our special guest this week.

[1:47:54] Claudia: Um, you really did nothing.

[1:47:58] Andrew: You're working really hard. We just don't care.

[1:48:01] Claudia: That was like—those last two competitions shouldn't have been as hard as they were.

[1:48:10] Andrew: That last one didn't go—or the one before the—um, or yeah, that's what I meant.

[1:48:15] Claudia: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:48:16] Andrew: Um, Claudia, thank you so much. Is there anything in closing that you would like to share?

[1:48:23] Claudia: Um, not really. Thank you. I was kind of worried that I wouldn't be able to have my time to shine, and I also am now worried that I didn't make the most of it. But I listen, I think to the pod literally every day, because I'm still catching up. I listen to it.

[1:48:37] Alyssa: Oh my god.

[1:48:38] Claudia: Dinner for the family of five that I had babysit for. Listen to that every day.

[1:48:43] Andrew: So keep that in mind.

[1:48:44] Claudia: Insane.

[1:48:45] Andrew: Amazing. Thank you so much.

[1:48:46] Claudia: Oh my gosh, Claudia. You mean the world.

[1:48:50] Andrew: Everybody does. Um, all right. Thank you, Claudia. Um, in closing, let's see. What do I have here? In summation. What do we got? What happened? I blacked out.

[1:49:04] Alyssa: I blacked out.

[1:49:08] Andrew: Did you get it?

[1:49:10] Claudia: Oh, I get it.

[1:49:14] Andrew: People.

[1:49:16] Alyssa: No, like I always do this and I always forget what the competition actually was.

[1:49:19] Andrew: People.

[1:49:20] Claudia: What's the joke here?

[1:49:22] Andrew: People, I want to make it good. That's the joke.

[1:49:24] Claudia: People.

[1:49:26] Andrew: You were—you were not the luckiest people in the world.

[1:49:30] Claudia: You were—you were the wrong person?

[1:49:32] Andrew: I don't know.

[1:49:33] Claudia: Yeah, like you're not the lucky—people, we don't need people.

[1:49:36] Alyssa: Right. We don't need people.

[1:49:39] Andrew: "Mustang Sally." You better ride, Sally ride to round three.

[1:49:45] Claudia: Round three of the glacket, baby.

[1:49:47] Andrew: "Crush." My—this was my third birthday gift to myself. This is the fact that this happened.

[1:49:56] Claudia: You are crushing it, girl. You are going to round three.

[1:50:00] Andrew: "Feliz Navidad." I want to wish you a goodbye.

[1:50:05] Claudia: Exactly.

[1:50:07] Andrew: An adios, baby.

[1:50:11] Claudia: "I'll Remember."

[1:50:13] Andrew: Hell yeah, I will.

[1:50:15] Alyssa: Hell yes.

[1:50:17] Claudia: And "Sway."

[1:50:19] Andrew: You could.

[1:50:20] Claudia: I couldn't sway you.

[1:50:21] Andrew: Right.

[1:50:22] Claudia: You couldn't, you couldn't sway the vote, baby. You're shimmying on out of the glacket.

[1:50:28] Andrew: Um, okay. Wait, this is editing, Andrew, right now. I forgot to insert something into this conversation. Um, but I wanted to reveal who which song won the Patreon vote of songs to come back for round three. And um, I believe it was like 22%. "Raise Your Glass," season two, is seeing another day in round three. I have my personal feelings about it, but obviously y'all wanted it enough to see it one more time on the glacket. So congratulations, "Raise Your Glass," season two. Um, you made it. Also, I love this episode so much. I miss doing these formats of bringing on y'all for three different competitions. I think they're so fun. Um, would love to do more of them in the future. Uh, if you would like to be included for future ones. Uh, they are Patreon exclusive, so go to patreon.com/gleekoftheweekpod. They are also exclusive for the Cheerio tier, so become a Cheerio. It's only a few dollars a month.

[1:51:38] Andrew: And uh, it's an easy way to support the podcast and also potentially weigh in on the Glacket. Live recordings, even if you aren't selected, it's a very fun time. Um, and we would love to have you there. Okay, back to the episode. Bye.

[1:51:52] Andrew: Alison Dodge, the moment has come. Um, if Glee was on in the year of our lord 2024, what would they be doing?

[1:52:02] Allison: Such a good question. I'm so glad you asked me that. I've never really thought about it, but um, I think for sure we would be hearing um "Stick Season" by Noah Khan. Um, who would sing it, you ask? You didn't, but uh, I don't—I don't know. A lot of these times, and you know from experience, people just be saying musical artists, and I let them have it. And I'm like, I don't know who—you don't know Noah Khan? I heard "Stick" and uh, song "Your Mom, She Forgot That I Existed," and it's half my folk and I just like to play the victim.

[1:52:41] Andrew: I'll drink.

[1:52:43] Allison: It's like it's Gen Z's uh, uh, Amelia is saying that she brought it up last week. You didn't Google it. And I just folky band, what's the folky band that we grew up with? Not Imagine Dragons. Um, oh we like ah we wait for—is that like Mumford and Sons?

[1:53:16] Andrew: No.

[1:53:17] Allison: No Fred and Sons.

[1:53:17] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:53:18] Allison: Noah Khan is Gen Z Mumford and Sons, basically. Every generation needs a folky pop artist. Noah Khan is that.

[1:53:23] Andrew: Yeah.

[1:53:25] Allison: And we would also be seeing um, uh, some incredible Barbie. The um, what was I made for? That would be a big tearjerker rollout for sure.

[1:53:38] Andrew: Right.

[1:53:38] Allison: A lot of people are saying, I think that I've said this on record before, I'll say it again. A lot of people are saying that it's a kuolo. We know how this game works. That's a rollout. It's a candidate event.

[1:53:48] Andrew: Yeah, don't you think that's a good idea? It's a candidate event.

[1:53:50] Allison: Don't—I see it in the stars, baby. What was I made for? To be sung by Leah Michelle and Leah Michelle only.

[1:53:58] Andrew: Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

[1:54:04] Allison: Right.

[1:54:05] Andrew: Right.

[1:54:06] Allison: Right.

[1:54:07] Andrew: Yep.

[1:54:08] Allison: Wait, exactly. I w—I actually want to circle back to Noah Khan. Is Noah Khan multiple people?

[1:54:15] Andrew: No, Noah Khan is one guy, one dude in a banjo.

[1:54:18] Allison: Or because like you said folk it like every generation needs a folk band, but this is just one.

[1:54:25] Andrew: Artist.

[1:54:26] Allison: Folk—oh, just artist.

[1:54:27] Andrew: Okay.

[1:54:27] Allison: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1:54:29] Andrew: What's like something off the cuff that like nobody would have ever heard of um probably Ariana Grande. They'd be s—they'd be singing um we can't be friends.

[1:54:42] Allison: What's the—I haven't listened to the entire album. What's the one song?

[1:54:45] Andrew: I haven't either. What's the one?

[1:54:49] Allison: What's the one that people are talking about? Say it in the chat. What's the one?

[1:54:52] Andrew: The boyfriend?

[1:54:54] Allison: We can't be friends.

[1:54:55] Andrew: Yeah, that one.

[1:54:56] Allison: Or "The Boy is Mine."

[1:54:57] Andrew: Is "The Boy is Mine" literally "The Boy is Mine"?

[1:55:00] Allison: No.

[1:55:01] Andrew: It's not a cover.

[1:55:03] Allison: That's fucked up.

[1:55:04] Andrew: Anyways, they would sing "Blueberry Cotton" by Naked Brothers Band. Not enough people are saying that actually.

[1:55:09] Allison: Not enough people. Really glad that you said that.

[1:55:12] Andrew: Do you have anything else that you would like to leave the Gleeks with?

[1:55:15] Allison: I'm thank you so much for having me. I'm so proud again of all the work hard work that you have put into this and you continue to put into this it is astounding and gorgeous and I love being able to put my little vote into the polls and just have any sort of involvement. It is incredible. Thank you so much.

[1:55:34] Andrew: Um, we—it's Patreon exclusives. I'm back every single month to talk about Glee Project. So if you want to talk about Glee Project season two, um, I a couple weeks ago, I was on my period. I cried because you know what I heard? I've been waiting for a girl like you. And I thought about Blake and Nelly. So you have that to look forward to on our monthly Glee Project season two.

[1:56:35] Allison: So just um, after the birthday, I need a like a little bit of a like a little like hangover vibe, you know.

[1:56:41] Andrew: Um, so yes, we will be back. Already have these some of those episodes booked. We'll be back in two weeks.
