Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.
Speaker 2: And Kevin An iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: Podcast, Welcome to and that's what you really missed originals.
Speaker 1: This is Jenna, Yes, yes it is, and this is
Speaker 1: Heaven and today is another competition.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's Regional's eight point zero.
Speaker 1: We've only done one Regionals prior to this, I know,
Speaker 1: and yet it feels like yes, number ten. Here we are, original.
Speaker 2: Song, original song. So I just want to set the
Speaker 2: scene a little bit. Yeah, because we obviously before we
Speaker 2: shoot an episode, we're getting sent the songs, the music,
Speaker 2: we're learning it, we're recording it. We're a dance rehearsal.
Speaker 2: So this episode features a bunch of a bunch of
Speaker 2: original songs and also was sort of a pilot in
Speaker 2: terms of a pilot program to see if we could
Speaker 2: put out original songs and what they do well. And
Speaker 2: loser like me was the one yes, and do you
Speaker 2: remember what we did, Jenna, We would we didn't like
Speaker 2: this song, that's correct, and we were all very concerned,
Speaker 2: very concerned. Ryan still approved every single dance number we did,
Speaker 2: so he'd have to come in at the end of
Speaker 2: dance rehearsal and watch his performance and give his notes.
Speaker 2: So he came in and we had decided to collectively
Speaker 2: sort of bring up how we were feeling about this song.
Speaker 2: And if you know Ryan, and he's in his creative
Speaker 2: mojo feeling positive mood, you don't do what we did. Yeah,
Speaker 2: would just be like, hey, we don't think this works,
Speaker 2: we don't think this is very good. And he sort
Speaker 2: of talked us off the ledge and also is like, well,
Speaker 2: it's not up to you. I didn't say that, but
Speaker 2: in so many words it's great. Yeah, he said, we're
Speaker 2: just try it and if it doesn't work, then we
Speaker 2: won't do it again. That sort of thing, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I remember this now because it was scary.
Speaker 2: Very scary. We were just worried. But I have to say,
Speaker 2: in context with the episode, watching it today, yes, and
Speaker 2: thinking it is sixteen year olds writing this thing, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it makes a lot of sense. But I think in
Speaker 2: thinking about the song in terms of this is going
Speaker 2: to go to the world. People are going to listen
Speaker 2: to this.
Speaker 1: Honestly, we're doing bangers. We've been doing Don't Stop Believe
Speaker 1: and Somebody to Love, top forties, hits up on Hits Landslide.
Speaker 1: We did in the last episode. How do you then
Speaker 1: follow that with an original song that sounds like teenager
Speaker 1: singing writing a song, but then you do it on
Speaker 1: tour and people freaking loved it.
Speaker 2: Well it comes out, oh man, and then smashes it
Speaker 2: and debuts so high on the Billboard chart that we
Speaker 2: all literally had to put our foot in our mouths.
Speaker 2: We were so wrong in so many ways.
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, well, well we won't do that again.
Speaker 2: Happens. Yeah, we're gonna shut our mouth because let's go
Speaker 2: back to we're not paid to make the music, write
Speaker 2: the scripts. We're paid to perform.
Speaker 1: It and hired for that, where we would have been
Speaker 1: hired for that exactly.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that was embarrassing. I mean, I was glad
Speaker 2: it was successful, but it was also like loops.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was just different. It was different than
Speaker 1: we had anything we had done before. All eyes were
Speaker 1: on us. It was you know, there's like pressure now,
Speaker 1: different pressure than what we felt before.
Speaker 2: So that was our little mess up.
Speaker 1: There'll be more of those, don't worry, so definitely will
Speaker 1: be okay. So this is season two, episode sixteen, Original song.
Speaker 1: This is a competition episode. It aired on March fifteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty eleven.
Speaker 2: Happy almost early Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1: That's right, Kevin, Savor Holiday. The number one song was
Speaker 1: still born this way Lady Gaga, which is coming soon only.
Speaker 2: And I know we keep saying we don't remember a
Speaker 2: lot of these number one movies, but be honest, here,
Speaker 2: what is Battle Los Angeles?
Speaker 1: It's an alien invasion movie, Kevin. I'm just kidding. I
Speaker 1: didn't see it, and I don't know what it.
Speaker 2: Is, what like as Neo's in it? And a couple
Speaker 2: months ago, Jenna just shouted Neo.
Speaker 1: I don't it's confusing. I don't even I don't hold on.
Speaker 1: I got to google this now because I want to
Speaker 1: see the poster.
Speaker 2: While you google that. The Glee News On March sixteen,
Speaker 2: twenty eleven, there's this incredible thing that goes on every
Speaker 2: here called the Paileyfest where they bring in casts and
Speaker 2: creators of TV shows. And we got to do it
Speaker 2: and we were all there. It was you, Me, Ambernia, Heather,
Speaker 2: Chris Corey, Darren, Matt, Jane, Ryan, Ian Brad and Dante
Speaker 2: and there's clips online. There were about eighty of us
Speaker 2: on that stage and it was a great time and
Speaker 2: the fans are wild, you know, and you get to
Speaker 2: actually talk in depth about I mean it's mostly Ryan talking.
Speaker 2: We each get to like say a word because there's
Speaker 2: so many of us, but I think we'll get one
Speaker 2: question each. It was fun because we would always get
Speaker 2: like new nuggets of information on evenings like that from
Speaker 2: like Ryan brader Ian that would like reveal something we
Speaker 2: didn't know before or something that was coming or whatever.
Speaker 2: And I mean these were really for the fans, Pailey Fusts,
Speaker 2: so afterwards, like fans would bum rush bum rush the
Speaker 2: stage and come up and you'd meet them and sign
Speaker 2: autographs and stuff at the end. But I always enjoyed
Speaker 2: these Q and as.
Speaker 1: I love a Q and A.
Speaker 2: What have you found out about Battle Los Angeles?
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's a film Battle of Los Angeles, which
Speaker 1: I was like, no, that's not right. This is Battle
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It's yeah, twenty eleven, and it's a marine
Speaker 1: staff sergeant that it's like a military signs fiction action film. Again,
Speaker 1: I couldn't wouldn't have told you, wouldn't have been able
Speaker 1: to recognize this. Never saw this poster.
Speaker 2: I need to see this poster. So Brad Beaker our
Speaker 2: favorite competition director. I don't know he ends up doing
Speaker 2: all the competitions. Editor Extraordinaire. He directed this episode, and.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of fun guest stars. We have
Speaker 1: Kathy Gaffin is in it, Luretta Devine, who we later
Speaker 1: will do RuPaul's Secret Celebrity drag race with Right Full Circle,
Speaker 1: and this, Oh my gosh, the highest number of songs
Speaker 1: featured in the series. Or this is the second highest
Speaker 1: number of songs featured in the series, the first being
Speaker 1: the pilot. This is eleven songs, but only nine were
Speaker 1: really released.
Speaker 2: I've never seen this Battle Los Angeles poster either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to this man. No offense to any of
Speaker 2: these people. It was number one movie, so great for them,
Speaker 2: like a video game cover.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it was a video game at some point.
Speaker 2: I'll let it go.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, We've got Misery, only child, Blackbird, trouty Mouth,
Speaker 1: big ass Heart, helt in the Know, Jesus is my friend, Candles,
Speaker 1: raise your glass, get it right? Loser like me?
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite of these original songs from
Speaker 2: this episode?
Speaker 1: O trouty Mouth has a special place in my heart,
Speaker 1: but Helton in the Know also has a special place
Speaker 1: in life. Yeah, I think trouty Mouth, the song, the context,
Speaker 1: the writing, the performances were all really great and ridiculous
Speaker 1: held in the no ambush performance just makes me giggle, giggle, giggle.
Speaker 2: Helps of the Know was like an actual banger, like
Speaker 2: an accidental banger.
Speaker 1: Totally.
Speaker 2: I think trouty Mouth was the one we all sang
Speaker 2: the most. Yes, we say that for the rest of
Speaker 2: the series.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, that's in our future a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Jenna tell us about this episode.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Okay, So the new Directions find out
Speaker 1: that they can't perform sing because Chemical Romance has sent
Speaker 1: them as season desist thanks to to Sylvester. Quinn wants
Speaker 1: to start her campaign for prom Queen and King with Finn,
Speaker 1: so she wants to keep her enemy Rachel close and
Speaker 1: Pavaratti the Warblers mascot bird passes away, and Kurt also
Speaker 1: speaks out to the Warblers about Blaine singing every solo.
Speaker 1: So Blaine and Kurt will perform a do at regionals.
Speaker 2: Regionals, is that a euphemism because they sure do?
Speaker 1: And it's also, yes, exactly a secret to hang out together.
Speaker 1: What is your favorite song, Kevin, out of all these.
Speaker 2: Or probably I think I feel the same way, probably
Speaker 2: choudy mouth and held to the know. I do have
Speaker 2: to say so fun fact, in this episode, Loser Like
Speaker 2: Me Adam Anders and Pure Astrom, who are both, you know,
Speaker 2: very big songwrision producers who did all of our music
Speaker 2: and are very successful outside of that as well, did
Speaker 2: Loser Like Me with the Max Martin Mecca and show
Speaker 2: back and seven.
Speaker 1: It makes me even more embarrassed that we were like
Speaker 1: this doesn't work, or this won't work, or we didn't
Speaker 1: like it initially when Max Martin wrote on this song
Speaker 1: like yeah, I'm embarrassed.
Speaker 2: And if you don't know Max Martin, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Max Martin is the biggest pop producer of Living under
Speaker 2: a Rock and he and seven, who is a huge songwriter.
Speaker 2: They wrote and produced What Makes You Beautiful by One
Speaker 2: Direction and dozens of other gigantic hits, and they all
Speaker 2: worked on this song. The song debut at number six.
Speaker 1: Geez, like, where were we wrong?
Speaker 2: It's our third top ten hits. It's absolutely insane. It
Speaker 2: reached number thirty six in the US Adult Pop charts,
Speaker 2: and it became the first Glee song other than a
Speaker 2: Christmas song to appear on that chart. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's wild. And then also, like we were talking about,
Speaker 1: I think in the last episode, I said that the
Speaker 1: Santana Brittany Army is so passionate that Trouty Mouth became
Speaker 1: by demand, was released on iTunes, it was not going
Speaker 1: to be like by popular demand. And then also Big
Speaker 1: Ass Heart as well. So these these original songs just
Speaker 1: kind of took off without even you know, no expectations. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So these episodes all lead up to the big competition,
Speaker 1: and a lot of these episodes obviously contain the conflict
Speaker 1: of what we're going to perform or how we're going
Speaker 1: to perform if somebody else does it.
Speaker 2: So why are not nobody ready? Why are these decisions
Speaker 2: still being made the week of I.
Speaker 3: Mean literally days the day of sometimes and the teachers
Speaker 3: just like, yeah, write an original song.
Speaker 1: Right right right, and we're just like, yeah, we can
Speaker 1: offer absolutely So Rachel Rachel has previously written my Headband
Speaker 1: and has come up with Only Child, which Finn says
Speaker 1: is better than My Headband but still not quite there.
Speaker 1: And and My Chemical Romance has sent a season desist
Speaker 1: because Sue alerted the band of their battle with Peta
Speaker 1: and the.
Speaker 2: Drummer in ninety six. Luckily that's not true because the
Speaker 2: drummer would have been sixteen.
Speaker 1: Well, if it was, that would have been really bad.
Speaker 2: Then she corrected it with, ohay, what was the other band?
Speaker 2: Was it Jimmy Eat World or something?
Speaker 1: Yes, Jimmy Heat World even better. So Quinn is friending
Speaker 1: Rachel and keeping her enemies close because she needs Finn,
Speaker 1: wants to get back with Finn to run for Tom
Speaker 1: King and Queen and said, and so backs Rachel on
Speaker 1: the vote that we should do original songs at regionals,
Speaker 1: and everybody's kind of suspicious and surprised, and Santana also
Speaker 1: believes that everybody should get it a fair chance at
Speaker 1: writing an original song. So we're doing original songs and
Speaker 1: everybody this week is going to be presenting their potential
Speaker 1: choice songs, and Santana is clearly still very hurt over
Speaker 1: Brittany staying with Artie, but she kind of renegs on
Speaker 1: what she said, saying she was in love with her,
Speaker 1: and Santanna is very hurt and angry that Brittany blew
Speaker 1: her up or stumbles and the crubble pants yikes, yikes.
Speaker 1: And then Sue approaches them and it turns out that
Speaker 1: she put her in their lockers and there's dirt all
Speaker 1: over Santa Brittany and I would not have wanted to
Speaker 1: be in that scene. Absolutely not covered in dirt, thank
Speaker 1: you so much.
Speaker 2: But Brittany going, I don't even remember putting that in there? Do?
Speaker 2: I feel like that's an ad lib?
Speaker 1: Totally totally so good.
Speaker 4: All right, So we get into some original songs here
Speaker 4: we do, and I feel like this day all these
Speaker 4: were done back to back to back, and it was
Speaker 4: just sort of free form rock out get so much
Speaker 4: former song and Jenna on the keys.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that was embarrassing, and also I felt pressure
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to look stupid, but I also
Speaker 1: didn't like they didn't make me, like learn how to
Speaker 1: play piano. I don't play piano, by the way, but
Speaker 1: it was fun to said of the piano, something to do.
Speaker 2: For Tina, that's right, get her in that shot.
Speaker 1: And and Sam obviously is upset about all the jokes
Speaker 1: about his mouth, but in real life we always made
Speaker 1: jokes about courts big lips, his big lusher's lips, which
Speaker 1: it was all in good fun and love. Out of love,
Speaker 1: like I don't think are beautiful. Yeah, no, I don't
Speaker 1: think he care. Okay, so we obviously are not performing
Speaker 1: out of regionals. And then up in Axis Pac who didn't.
Speaker 1: Also this wasn't really intended to be performed at regionals,
Speaker 1: but he wrote a song for Lauren called the Guest Heart,
Speaker 1: which is kind of cringy and well definitely my tarty
Speaker 1: takes yeah.
Speaker 2: And then Mercedes does an actual banger banger like hell
Speaker 2: to the Note. I mean, obviously some of those Ian
Speaker 2: lyrics are insane, but they really worked that out that performance,
Speaker 2: the ad libs, the it all just works.
Speaker 1: It really does.
Speaker 2: It really does good.
Speaker 1: Mama said, get your ass out of bad. I said,
Speaker 1: they tried to take away my thoughts. I said, hell
Speaker 1: to the now. Oh man, it's I'm not trying to devout,
Speaker 1: but this show's got to stop out, so got to stop.
Speaker 1: So shout.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's really funny, it's really great. And then afterwards
Speaker 2: Will says, what's your favorite song of all time? And
Speaker 2: Brittany goes, my head band? What are all these songs
Speaker 2: about headbands?
Speaker 1: It's really funny? Okay, So Will is like, Okay, these
Speaker 1: songs are really funny and whatever, but they don't tap
Speaker 1: into pain and all really good hit songs are about
Speaker 1: pain or dealing with your pain, except am sorry, Oh God.
Speaker 1: And then we all kind of like randomly quote unquote
Speaker 1: start bringing tromming about what Sue's done to us, filling
Speaker 1: dirt in the lockers. My one line about Tina, you know,
Speaker 1: Sue calling the government saying Tina wanted to change her
Speaker 1: name to Tina Cohen loser, and mister She's like, well,
Speaker 1: here's our song there it is.
Speaker 2: Real quick he does.
Speaker 1: Oh. And then and then we get into the scene
Speaker 1: with Rachel and Quinn where they're going to write the
Speaker 1: song together right because Quinn has offered that her services,
Speaker 1: and they get into this very very good scene always
Speaker 1: love a Quinn Rachel scene about Finn and how she
Speaker 1: should just give up on him and she's gonna end
Speaker 1: up heartbroken and she doesn't belong here and when will
Speaker 1: you just get it right? And Rachel is found her
Speaker 1: inspiration for her song, so she writes, get it right.
Speaker 2: Nothing that heartbreak and betrayal to inspire you.
Speaker 1: I ain't nothing like it. And then we're regionals.
Speaker 2: Here we are We're at regionals, and the judges are
Speaker 2: Tammy Gene Albertson played by Kathy Griffin.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Chris was a huge and I think they became
Speaker 1: friends after this, Yes, of course absolutely, who else is Judges?
Speaker 1: Sorry I interrupted you.
Speaker 2: Sister Mary Constance through at a Divine a dream girl herself,
Speaker 2: and then Oral Intensity performs Jesus as My Friend and
Speaker 2: new Directions is very confused, but everybody loves it. Shout
Speaker 2: out to all of our friends in that number, Casey
Speaker 2: Joe in that one.
Speaker 1: And then the Warblers performed Candles. It's an interesting choice
Speaker 1: for a song for a regional song. Yeah, and Raise
Speaker 1: your Glass which becomes a very big hit as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: M I have like very distinct memories like having a
Speaker 1: break while the Warblers were on stage in our second
Speaker 1: tour and listening to Raise your Glass and I had
Speaker 1: to take a break from the song after for a while.
Speaker 1: I have to be honest.
Speaker 2: Oh I've taken a permanent break from it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I kind of be honest. The Pink hits
Speaker 1: that everybody loves, I'm not a fan of as much her.
Speaker 1: It's her other songs on her albums that I'm obsessed with.
Speaker 1: And also she's the best performer live performer, and she's
Speaker 1: my favorite tour I've ever been to. Everybody says, just
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, it's really it's something else, Okay, I
Speaker 1: digress new directions, perform, get it right, and lose her
Speaker 1: like me. I'd also like to point out that we
Speaker 1: are not in heels. We're not in kypezio heels anymore.
Speaker 1: In dresses. We are in Doc Martins because we requested
Speaker 1: them because we did not want to dance in heels
Speaker 1: at our regionals anymore.
Speaker 2: Oh smart, good for you, and they remember that.
Speaker 1: I mean, the amount of complaining that we did in
Speaker 1: those heels. The wardrobe was probably like Tulou, like, hey,
Speaker 1: don't put them in heels anymore. We don't want to
Speaker 1: hear it.
Speaker 2: They're long, long days. It's insane to have that many
Speaker 2: people in heels.
Speaker 1: It's where I got my back injury from. Was like
Speaker 1: all the pounding of running in heels on those bleachers
Speaker 1: all the time. Anyway, we will return to the heels.
Speaker 1: But I'm so glad that we had these Doc Martins.
Speaker 1: It's weird. It was a weird choice, but whatever, because
Speaker 1: there was like sequence on our dresses, but then we
Speaker 1: had Doc Martins. I don't know, it felt like something
Speaker 1: Gina would wear anyway, So yeah.
Speaker 2: It definitely worked for you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so everybody loves Loser like me, even kurts up
Speaker 5: on his feet.
Speaker 1: And then we slushy in the audience.
Speaker 2: A little meta slushy confetti. Did that on tour as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did with paper confetti. I remember always like
Speaker 1: carrying those cups out on tour and like it's spilling.
Speaker 2: I don't remember. Did somebody maybe somebody carried mine?
Speaker 1: I thought you put it in your lap?
Speaker 2: Did I know?
Speaker 1: We'll have to go back and get some videos.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the brain is not great. I do love the
Speaker 2: judges scenes always, Kathy and Loretta going at it was
Speaker 2: pretty great. And Kathy being this sort of tea party
Speaker 2: Sarah palin ish m character was pretty great. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: Rod about his gay hairdresser.
Speaker 1: I it's really really good it I think it. It
Speaker 1: hits a tarty take for me. So spoiler new directions win.
Speaker 1: Finally we are going to Nationals.
Speaker 2: Does does it feel a little anti climactic to you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But again I think they all do, and I think
Speaker 1: it's just because they were so climactic to us on
Speaker 1: set that they don't read the same.
Speaker 2: They're edited very quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean you'd be standing there shooting that
Speaker 1: scene for god, how how long? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you remember Sue coming out and punching that woman? Yes, again, I.
Speaker 1: Mean one time. I think the first time we shot it,
Speaker 1: I thought it was real.
Speaker 2: I mean it looked great on camera too.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: So the other thing again going on, not to leave
Speaker 2: these things for the last thing always, but after you know,
Speaker 2: new directions, wins and all that, and Rachel gets MVP
Speaker 2: and it's an emotional scene and it's sweet. There's the
Speaker 2: whole Curt and Blaine relationship going on where Paveratti dies
Speaker 2: and Kurt's care and he shows up dressed in black
Speaker 2: and decides to perform Blackbird, and the Warblers just happen
Speaker 2: to jump in with some backgrounds and it's a beautiful number.
Speaker 2: And then Kurt sort of has just had it with
Speaker 2: the with Blaine and the Pips where he feels like
Speaker 2: anything Blaine wants to do goes. No one else gets
Speaker 2: to sing, and Blaine sort of hears him, and so
Speaker 2: when they go to come up with the vote on
Speaker 2: the regional set list, Blaine stands up and says, I
Speaker 2: think we should do a duet and everyone's like, what, no,
Speaker 2: and then he says it, and then he'said, no, I
Speaker 2: think it would be good, and they all agree, and
Speaker 2: then he appoints Kurt as his duet partner, and then
Speaker 2: the d a duet and it's really cute and then
Speaker 2: they have one of the best first kisses and TV history.
Speaker 2: Articles were written about how there was no true controversy
Speaker 2: over the first kiss only celebration and how far TV
Speaker 2: and pop culture had come right in the Atlantic, they
Speaker 2: wrote about it. So after the competition, Blaine says, Kurt,
Speaker 2: there is a moment when you say to yourself, oh,
Speaker 2: there you are. I've been looking for you for forever,
Speaker 2: watching you blackbird this week. That was the moment for
Speaker 2: me about you. You move me, Kurt. And then he
Speaker 2: says how getting to do a duet with him was
Speaker 2: just an excuse to spend more time with him. Oh,
Speaker 2: and then they kiss. Oh oh, and it's beautiful. Is
Speaker 2: finally kiss on network TV.
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy. I don't think at the time I
Speaker 1: realized how impactful that was going to be until it happened.
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure for Chris and Darren is they could.
Speaker 1: They had time to think about it and could tell,
Speaker 1: and I'm for Ryan talked to them, but like just
Speaker 1: like you're like, oh yeah, cool. Another two characters get together,
Speaker 1: right and kiss. But I think the only other kiss
Speaker 1: gay kiss on TV at the time was Dawson's Creek
Speaker 1: with Jack and I think this was I don't think
Speaker 1: it was until after it air that I realized how
Speaker 1: massiveness was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did clock that it was going to be
Speaker 2: as a consumer of like all things gay secretly back then, right,
Speaker 2: I knew like on paper that it would be a
Speaker 2: big deal, but it's hard to be able when you're
Speaker 2: inside of it. For us, because it wasn't our characters
Speaker 2: doing it, it was sort of hard to, I think,
Speaker 2: feel it. I'm sure Darren and Chris felt it on
Speaker 2: social media and when they went in public and things,
Speaker 2: but it was sort of hard to gauge, like we
Speaker 2: need to be a big deal yet, but you can't
Speaker 2: necessarily feel it because you're It's easier to realize that
Speaker 2: now watching it this many years removed like a lot
Speaker 2: of things that we talked about, right, But even watching
Speaker 2: it then you're like, oh, yeah, these are our friends, right,
Speaker 2: so there's just two other characters. We're all doing crazy stuff.
Speaker 2: Every week, but it was important, and I think it
Speaker 2: was important that it was earned, you know, just like
Speaker 2: Santana and Britney store line that is still going right.
Speaker 1: Now and falling in love immediately and expecting like you know, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad that happened. I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I also have to say Brad Beaker did a
Speaker 2: great job directing this. There's there were a couple times
Speaker 2: in this episode was like, oh, it's a beautiful shot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: some really beautiful moments. One of them when Leah is
Speaker 2: standing at the mirror getting ready and Corey comes up
Speaker 2: behind her before the competition and she's like, last time
Speaker 2: we were here, you told me you loved me. It's
Speaker 2: beautifully lit and beautifully shot. I loved it.
Speaker 1: That one too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good to some TARTI takes Jenna, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 6: let's do it, okay, Alchiez cringe moments.
Speaker 2: I mean, stumblest crippled pants isn't a great moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the judges were not. While some of it
Speaker 1: was very funny, some of it was not super.
Speaker 2: That's always the dudges are always a safe place to
Speaker 2: go for her.
Speaker 1: The Yeah, Auchi's yeah. I think it was intentionally Auchi
Speaker 1: to begin with oh yeah, best dance move, oh Man,
Speaker 1: held to the no Yeah, help to the no, best song.
Speaker 2: Ooh, croudy mouth.
Speaker 1: I'll go with help to.
Speaker 3: The know, best performance by a prop Parati Pavaratti's casket.
Speaker 3: All they go together.
Speaker 2: This sushies are good too, Okay, you know.
Speaker 1: The best line. I'm going with Rod Remington. My hairdresser
Speaker 1: is is gay? Okay he says, yes, my hairdresser is
Speaker 1: a gay is the good and for fifteen years he's
Speaker 1: been with his partner, also a hairdresser. I see no
Speaker 1: reason why they shouldn't be allowed to marry and raise
Speaker 1: a family.
Speaker 2: Beautiful, It's beautiful.
