Divide and Conquer (“Throwdown” S1. E.7)

song was dethroned this time around. Oh that's right, Jenna, what is it? Alright? So this episode aired October fourteen, and it was I've got a feeling for I mean, I don't even know how many weeks, like half the year. Basically, Yeah, was a weird time down Jay Sean featuring Away. Then I actually listened to it today and it took me back like I had sense memory listening to that and took me back to two. Because it's a great song. For you kids out there who haven't heard it, you

should go downloaded. The number one movie was Couples Retreat with Vince Vaughn and Jason Bateman, but this this episode was something special, do you agree it was? Um? It is one of the funniest and also most politically incorrect and possibly offensive episodes. We've mentioned before that generally speaking, things have aged fairly well this one, UM, not so much. But there's also a lot of hilarious, hilarious things in it.

Well also, and I will say this with all the love for all of our directors, um who we just adore, but Ryan directed this one and the ones that Ryan touch obviously have that a spark, that's right, a spark of of cunning darkness and comedy and heart and love all at the same time. He intentionally chose the ones he directed, you know, like it must have been for

a reason. I also remember Jenna before we really get into this episode that on this day Angle History was also when um, it was announced that our first soundtrack, c D was coming out. C D. That's how long ago was that wasn't and it was going to be out the following one. Some really good songs on that album actually obviously don't Stop but Hate on Me, which was from this episode. Maybe this time somebody to love it bust your windows of course. Um, well, I think

we should get into it because this episode. There's a lot to talk about. There's a lot to talk about. Um. There's also a sad thing. There's no jam in this episode, which is disappointing, but it is the first time that our sweet Harry Sham speaks that's right in the show. So there's also that. So this episode originally was supposed to be called and I believe on one draft it was titled SmackDown. That's right. That's how I think of this episode in my head. Still, I forget that it's

not called and why is that? Jenna, Well, I believe that it was trademarked, and I believe I could be wrong, and some fans gonna come tell me on Twitter later that I'm wrong, but I believe it was because it was trademarked by the Wrestling w W w w E or w w e WW. Yeah, so you down, So throw down was the next best option. That's right. It doesn't even matter because this episode is. This episode opens

up on one of my favorite things ever. It also introduces the seuss of Vester Villain music that sounds like star wars um and I do love a meta referential

piece of dialogue, and it sort of happened. I think it might have been in the last episode that we talked about where Rachel says, I think we all just want this episode to be behind us, and and this one when Um, Sue and Chew are fighting, they say listen to us or even fighting in our voice overs as they're doing this slow motion, incredible screaming match that also turns out and some of the BTS footage from this episode, I say, it looks like two animals, two

animals brawling in the wild, and it does. Where from But it's right, it's very beautiful. I was, you know, a poet. I really had a way with words back then. I feel like this is one of the only episodes and maybe I'm wrong, but let's try and clock it now where they break the fourth wall like a couple of times. Yeah, I mean that's what I mean. Like I love it when they're like we are doing voice over, that's what's happening right now, but also like Sue looking

down the barrel of the camera, like that was jarring. UM, but I loved it, alright. So the big storyline this week is UM. It carries over from the end of last week's episode where Figgins has assigned a co captain for the head of the Bleak Club, and that is one and only see Sylvester. Obviously, some time has passed and we see Sue and Shoe not getting along to our not surprised shocking chucking. We start with this you know, brawl thing to give us a preview of how the episode.

We know where it's going to end up, and then we do a little rewind to say how did we get here? Because we cut to Sue and Shoe seemingly being extra friendly to one another, but what's really going on underneath is that Sue, of course, is trying to devise a plan to split them up and trying they're both competing to get into a curry favor with the Glee Club, and they have a number of ways of

doing that. Figgins wants to make sure that you know they're not doing bad things to try to get the kids to prefer one of the directors over the other.

And Sue knows that the minority kids don't feel like they're being heard because you know, Quinn is the mole, she's deep throat, and she decides to um split up the quote unquote minorities from the rest of the group because they feel like they're not being heard because there is the most insane exchange between Mercedes and Rachel where Mercedes says, can we try something a little more black and Rachel says it's glee club, not crunk club, which

is diabolical. My mouth was dropped. I had to lift it from the floor and put it back onto my job. I will say, however, though, getting split up to do these in real life was very fuzzy. Also, the fact that you're like by white people was actually one of my favorite lines of the episode. I didn't remember that, but I that wasn't that. I think that might be the only outlet I got into this show was definitely so so Sue right tells Pigins we're splitting up. We're

each going to direct a number. Mr Shoe thinks, obviously he's going to take all the sterios and everybody, but she takes the minorities, and she says, when you hear your name called crossover to this side of the black shiny thing and Wilson, that's that's the piano su Um. I think we're going to be just We're going to quote a lot in this because there are so many incredible one liners in this, so Santana already, Kurt, Tina, Mike, Mercedes,

and Matt all get to do a number together. I think we have to talk about the names out of the hat though of course it was memes out of a hat? Or is it just names? She just calls their names. Okay, that's different. I know what you're thinking. Yes, okay, we'll get there, because I thought the same thing. So she goes Santana, wheels Jay Kid, Asian other Asian, Aretha and Shaft. It's it's bad dark. Um. I have a question. Did this make you feel any type of way in

real life? You know, it didn't. It wasn't here ask me that in like ten episodes it because but this was sort of the beginning of yeah, and and it was kind of funny, and it was you know and obviously like we're all everything is copasetic at this point, so um, but I did. I was like, I think there was something about it. When we were shooting, we were like, wait, how are you going to tell us apart? And I think this was added, like the other Asian

was added on set. I was thinking that I remember that because then there was a discussion like who's Asian? Whose other Asia, right? Who Asian? Um? And I think this is where the conversation started to come up, where we were like, wait, Mike Tina both have the same last name, but we're not of the same ethnicity, so it didn't not quite yet, not quite yet checking in Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it gets a little crazy, so kind of funny.

Um all right. So then that that leaves Finn, Rachel, Quinn, Puck, and Brittany in the you know, the group, the other group, a k a. The white kids. So soon names her her kids, um, Sue's kids, and she she makes them think right, She's manipulating us to make us feel like Will is discriminating against the students who delegates all the minorities to sink background for the white kids, meaning Rachel and Finn. And she said, I like minorities so much,

I'm thinking of moving to California to become one. You know what crazy is I? I think that's a current Republican talking point? Is it? Is it? Now? Let's dive deeper into that. One's the wrong type of podcast. The good news is is that Sue sort of answers um Mercedes plead to do something a little more black and we get to do an R and B song called hate on Me. And this was so much fun to do. Jenna, do you remember the rehearsals for this we also recorded

this together or no, yes, that's right. I forgot you sang on this no offense and then you're wailing on this. I know you were very impressed by this. On the day when we were shooting, You're like, that's you. Yeah, because look I had only heard you do basically musical theater type singing before this, and here you are on me. You know you're shouting. Yeah. Yeah, it was great. I loved it, fling us out of our convert zones. Um, this was really fun to shoot. I remember number one,

really enjoying being with this group of people. Yeah, it was really nice. Also, anyway, that's nothing against anyone else. Everybody. When there's twelve of you in a rehearsal studio and there's twelve of you to shoot something, it's just a lot more work. And so there were half of us, and we were also still like getting to know like Harry and and Naya, and it was just like um

and um dijon. You know, it was just like we were still all kind of like melting into group and then they split us up and we're like, oh, actually small group is really and energize this, I think because you know, the episode before we got to do the mashups of the boys versus the girls, and this was another way to split us up and that I felt fresh and fun. You know, this number was really fun

to shoot. Um. I think Ryan loved being around, Like it was really fun to have Ryan around because he would always hang out with us in between takes and laugh and get jokes and kind of get inspiration for other episodes and character choices. And um, do you remember Chris's sweater that's all I think. It was shedding all over the place. I mean they were literally like I don't know, thank you, plumes in the air of the material of the feathers all over and it was a

McQueen's water. This is also when I started poor Chris, when I started feeling all of his costumes because yeah, I'm like, hey, don't mind me, I'm just gonna touch you now. Because lou was really going in. I don't know if the budget got increased for his costumes, but something happened and he was wearing McQueen and tom Ford and all these incredibly expensive brands and incredibly beautiful clothing, and I just remember he was dying of heat as well. UM.

Fun fact. For Chris's birthday one year, this was towards the end of probably back nine. He wanted He had said, I really want, um a collection of all of my photos of me and my outfits now behind the scenes for wardrobe you they always took photos of us in every outfit for continuity purposes. So I asked Warwick, one of his dresser, to send me all of the photos. So I have all of Chris's looks in my drop box and I put them on a board for him, like you know, across like and it took up so

much space. I don't know if he still has it. But um, all these Kurt looks, just like hundreds of That's such a sweet idea. It was really cool. It was actually really cool to scene and collect. But um, I did that. So anyway, uh, and of how Chris's clothes. This also begins the the incredibly we an amazing um storylines is a strong word UM storyline of the curly hair jokes. Well, I think people are amazed by Matt's curly hair. And I think was it Ryan who would

always touch it? And Matt had a secret that it was Luber who would put it in his hair. Um, that you put in his hair and yes, and it got it real shiny and real nice. Sorry that was an inside joke. Oh god, I have to play that from my brother. So it was real shiny. And so there are these running jokes about Will's hair. Um, and I think it's because we just love we were so enamored by how like weirdly perfect. It's like the rama

noodle joke of like justin timber Lake. Um. But so the curly hair jokes start, and um, this is the this is where the fight happens, right between stastic fight and um, this is where Sue says, I don't trust a man with curly hair. I can't help a picture little birds laying sulfur's eggs in there, and it disgusts me. It is really iconic. I actually I think about that line a lot. But then also, those drinks are crap.

That's what that's from. Oh my gosh, I quote that all that, like I say, something is crap all the time. I did not realize that was from Glee that's embarrassing. Why have all these nicknames for my daughter Emma? Now and I realized that they're Ken Tanaka's lines to Emma pills. Yeah, yeah, okay, anyway, moving on, um, but that's also in the In the on the Stairwell is also just really the best some

of their best work. It's it's also there's a little like nod to one of um Jane Lynch's characters and criminal minds when she accuses Mr Schu of suffering from early stage paranoid schizophrenia, which I thought was wrong, but also nice nod to something mm hmmm. Um. So Sue basically she burns sheet music, she steals the piano, all for absolutely assinine reasons, and the band and to retaliate Will decides to fail, all of thanks to Terry. Right, wasn't that Terry Terry said you had got to meet

meet her where she is. So it's not when we go high, when they go low, we go high. They yeah, exactly, Even though like all the cheerios got kicked off except for in Sintanna and brittany how convenient all the cheers are still in their uniforms. Of course, that number keep me hanging on. Yeah. Um, so this brings us to my favorite scene of the entire episode. Is this the Principal's office? Yes? Um, And I don't know how to even discuss this without just quoting the entirety of it.

There are so I was really going in and out of his damn mind for the scene. I have no doubt it was Ian who just was word vomiting and it was unreal. I mean it starts off saying how stupid materials for decades have been and like a half of them were literate and or what was the line? Um?

It also feels like the three of them were sort of um freestyling a little bit, which happens when Ryan directs because he gives you permission to do it, and if he says it, or if Ian says it and they're okay with it they don't say anything, then you know you sort of have the permission to do it. Like when they're talking when Figgins is saying they were trying to make a signance at game time. They wrote to game and then Wills like two games and then um,

half of the chairs like functionally illiterate. Oh so what it's like, we all know your devotion to that dying language at that time, at the time, the communic timing, the chemistry of the three of them, the conflict, it was all just it just worked in like perfect harmony. I think this is one of my favorite seasons of the entire series of Glee. Scenes of the yes sorry

what did I say? Yes? Scenes? I there's obviously some things that are inappropriate and wrong, and however, on the whole, I think there's a lot of magic and great comedic acting and writing. Well. Then additionally, as she walks out so to to close out the scene, you're like, what is she going to do? And this becomes also a running thing of like Sue having like a temper tantrum and throwing shin around. But um, she she goes out the door and throw stuff around and Big insists no,

not the children. And the music the music is so good. It's so good. Right before she storms out, she yells at Figgins say something. And then when um Will is leaving and she brushes against her and don't touch me. It's a lawsuit and yells, I will sue your ass. I um I voice the mode um Jane earlier when I was watching this episode, because I was like, I feel like those two lines are improvd and Jane responded

to very nicely, Thank you Jane Lynch. And um, she said, I think this, I will sue your ass um and say something, Um, we're mine. She's like, let's just say that they were improvised and if Ian objects will deal with it. She said she rarely improvised because Ian had her voice and so you didn't. She didn't need to. It's not not saying that you need to improv because

there's a lack of good writing. It's that all of the wildest ship that you may come to your brain has already been thought of by Ian, and it's usually been thought of in a much cleverer way. How he wrote Sue was absolutely and it only gets crazier. So yeah, and I think this was too felt like, um, they were seeing how far they could push it. Yes, because they really did sort of try everything, really really bushed it. All right, So let's get to this, um, this other

the baby. Yeah, let's get let's get to baby gate, baby gate. Um, So we have Quentin Fan going to the ultratoun appointment, which I didn't even realize you could find out the sex of the baby this early. Yeah, it's a blood test. So essentially they take the blood test and then can tell um in like two weeks after the ten weeks, so you know, give her. So the ultrasound. Finding out by ultrasound of ten weeks is

not a passible, right, Yeah, it's like a bee. It's like a gummy bear at the The baby is a gummy bear at that point. So yes, delicious, it's Emma looks like a turtle, a little tiny turtle. At ten weeks. It's hard to tell, hard to tell um, and then they find out it's a girl. So it's not Yeah, it's not going to line up with Terry's plan, and Terry's plan, her scheme against Will is getting it's getting

harder to keep up the ruse, right. You know they have that scene where Will's like, I am the father of this baby, and I am mean he felt this baby kick. I haven't been to any doctor's appointments, And Terry is now under fire because Will sort of lays it down and says, I'm going with you on your next appointment. Yeah, he says he made an appointment and

he is taking he is taking charge. Meanwhile, sweet sweet stupid finn Um is thinking about possible names, which pisses Quinn off because she's trying to not keep the baby.

But he comes up with, and I love this little foreshadow here, um, the name Drizzle because he heard that Gwyneth Paltrow named her kid Apple and thinks it's so cool because he loves apples and he also loves result when it starts drizzling, and then we'll have obviously Gwyneth wonderful sweet Gwyneth will come and play Holly Holiday, who also married Brad Falchuk, which I'm sure most of you know. And um, you know we have a little foreshadowing there

that Holly Holiday. Just the Drizzle. The name Drizzle, though, is right. He said it's original, poetic and the best baby new of all time and so awesome when it's just drizzling outside but not raining, so it smells like grand but you don't need an umbrella. I love and you just love him. There's a lot of stupidness going on in this episode. I was also thinking about how if any of these characters were real people, how crazy Sue and Will like neither of them should be teachers.

They're losing their mind, right. You know, it's funny when you think about teachers when you went to school, and you're like, now as an adult, you're like, gosh, I went out last night with a friend who was a teacher and you're like real drunk and they're like hungover the next day. Oh my god. Because anyway, as a kid, they're not real people. You don't think of that. Yeah, they're perfect, they're perfect like your parents. So so what

do you do? What does Terry have to do? When she realizes she's going to have to go to ultrasound appointment, she calls up good old trusty Kendra, Yes Kendra, which

is this same scene. I mean, this scene is one of the best um where she they blackmail Dr Woo saying that um, she her husband represents um some very big midsized law firms that are just gonna see his ass and you know where it on the street is is gonna it's gonna travel and all these women are going to close on up their legs and so Dr Woo has to help Terry because doctor will put too much potoction and her when she was giving birth to her creepy ginger kids and it messed up their d

n A. Anyway, this scene is really um, one of some of Jennifer Rasman's does work. I think this is really just pe Yeah, it's unbelievable, and so so there we have it. It's gonna work at least for now. That's what we think. Dr Who is going to help? And then Dr Who does help. He puts up a little screen and they have you know, Will and Terry,

I did this. I didn't put the baby, you make the baby with her and he goes along with it, and Will is crying and Terry is realizing, oh shit, UM, just remember how much you love me in this moment, because I probably feel like I know, this is all going to come undone at some point. And then we've got this other storyline that kind of um goes along with baby Gate, where we see we see a little bit more take Ap in Israel and he is being

weird and creepy to Rachel and and blackmailing her. We want a blackmailing in the show, UM blackmailing her with running a story in the school newspaper about Quinn being pregnant. So Rachel gives j b I a pair of her panties, which I mean, now nowadays this you I mean, is this a crime? Like this seems pretty awful anyway, right, blackmails crime but like sexually, like it's not yeah. Um. And then she so she gives them some underwear and the first time she gives them clean underwear that she's

never worn before, just newly bought onundies. But I think she does end up giving him Bundy's right, another pair of teaching him quiet um, and and then we have this. Then we end up kind of back at the back in the where we started. Right now, we're room the Wild Animals going at it. We're in the auditorium and Sue's kids are going to watch white People do, which we skipped. No, I don't worry. I have not forgotten about it. Let's talk about nowhere because no air. I

just remember hearing it for the first time. So Corey was not a singer coming into this show, right, and he could He was a drummer who could sing. And I remember hearing this song and I was like, there's no way he could sing that high. And I remember I had all these conspiracy theories about and I'm sorry, and it was my bad because that song is so high and Corey, it's so good, so good, And I was asking Adam Anders was like, is that you singing?

It's obviously he would never do that, and it's Corey and I loved their performance of it. I burst out laughing and had to pose it. I was crying the hallway with the wind and they're so serious. That's it though, It's like they're they're serious about it, but it's it's it works, It somehow works. I bought it, and I don't know, I just I enjoyed nowhere. Corey and Leah are so funny, like they get that Beyonce fan and they so funny and fully know what they're doing and

committed to the joke of it. They're in on the joke. It's very very good and I love the whole um.

Quinn storming out and then you know, repeating it back to see or rehearsing it it too, which then you know, fast forward to where we were just talking about the slow motion fight, and the US minorities are sitting in the audience and everyone has just sort of had it because you're you're watching these two adults, grown ass people going at it for and for what there's no reason, and Finn speaks up as you know, sort of the leader that he is, and we all sort of mom

mom and dad and if we wanted to see mom and dad fight for those of us who still had her parents, we go home and then they carry me out in the wheelchair up the side. I just was floored because I remember us talking about the fact that your wheelchair was up on that platform, and then I saw it again. I was like, how did already get there? And then they showed it, and I just I think we were talking about it, and I think that's why Ryan put that in, because we were like, how is

it already get out of here? What do you made sure that we knew? Which is you know, he did that several times this episode, which another number we skipped over, which is ride with Me. That was another thing. We'll talk about that though, Jenna. I want you to say that because I have a surprise for you, So don't talk about right with me? Okay, Well, I mean we're almost there, so base essentially we are. The rules is

still going. Will has seen seen the baby quote unquote, Um that and the gender has or the sex has changed. Excuse me, thanks the doctor change being like, oh I made a mistake. Um, the sue has decided to step down as co Glee Uh, Glee Fountain Glee what co director? Thank you? Because co director? The reality sets in about how horrible their fight was in front of these students, and it seems to so we're both of the most

temporarily just enough. And then um, we go to the choir room where we have a we have a flashback right of j B I Sue finding the Andes in his locker. He explains why he was doing it, that he blackmailed Rachel and um. She makes him run the story because she feels betrayed by Quinn because she didn't know. And this is her finding out that Quinn is pregnant

and j B I yes. And so when we're doing our little recap at the end of the episodes, as we normally do thanks to Mr Shoe, Um, he says the I would like to put this up as a candidate for UM. Did not age well this line of

your all minorities because you're Glee Club. Um. And then he you know, breaks it down one by one and he says Quinn and then Sue says you're pregnant and reveals it to all the Glee Club officially, right, because most of us knew, yes, but it's out there and the story is running, and it's running because you told j I had to run it, which is not okay.

And then we do keep holding on, which is still in my body, and I know we do this number again, and we really we had to re rehearse it in later in a later season, and but for some reason, this number is in my body because this number was tough,

because nobody got it and it looked like dogshit. Do you remember this, I guess like again, we got up there to rehearse it and and Zach I think, was freaking out because it did not look great, and because the other thing was Ryan was directing, and it was less about the dance needed to be clean looking and sharp, but more than that, the emotion and the story that

it was portraying needed to be strong. And everything was in service to supporting to Anna that day where I remember she had to cry every single take, the entirety of a song, and we were all sitting there and it was really quiet. It was very serious we were doing. I think Ryan had said something at the top of the number as well, like let's be respectable of Diana and let's let's just get this done right. Yeah, and it was it felt like one of those moments where right, okay,

this is we're professionals. We need to support our fellow actor and cast member because a lot of times we get to act silly and do comedy. Yeah exactly. Yeah. I do remember this number being very defe in my way, um, and it's not that hard, so I just I think that's what it was. Though. I think it was the simplicity of it and like we were doing. It was a lot of like really sharp strong movement. Nothing you can say nothing, you know what, these like yelling backgrounds. Yeah, yeah,

it was. It was a lot of things that but the more important, more importantly, it worked. I watched that number and I was like, you know, this is effective, and it was Ryan knew what he was doing every single time. And I remember that number doing well on iTunes afterwards because the numbers that did really connected well,

we're connected to story, right, It was emotional. There was an emotional connection to the characters and to the storyline and this is a this is a big one and it was nice that this, you know, this was sort of the I liked the storyline of Rachel going out of her way to protect Quinn, and even though there's some of it is in her interest obviously for Finn totally, but that conversation they have, like Rachel's keeping it in

the hallway, It's true. This was all of them coming together to protect her and remind Quinn who her real friends are, and Sue is not looking out for her. When Corey or when Finn grabs both their hands in that shot, I got chills, full body chill. Teens are up to no good. It was incredibly effective. I mean, what is the line? I mean, I felt a lot of things the line earlier in the episode with Finn. I mean with Quinn saying I know a lot of guys who on their partner and girlfriends don't do it

with her. Yeah, there you are. It's it's complicated. It's what it is on Facebook, and it's complicated. Wouldn't be a show about teens if it weren't complicated. Tardy takes Jenna, are you ready let's do it? Um cringe moments. I think there are a lot. Yeah, I think we there's probably an offensive line about every sort of minority group. Um, oh god, I do think the you're all minorities you're in the glee club. Really crazy. It's bad. They're all bad.

There's a there's a list by screen nt uh, the Will Schuster's eight most and that is on there, and I feel like, you know it deserves to be I need to see that list. I'll send it to you, don't you worry. Um, we'll probably reference it again. The worst dance moves, um number one. I will say my worst dance move was in hate on me when you do the next thing? Yes, Ryan made me. Do you know I knew I would never have done that on

my unprovol Okay, very upseting okay, um. And then I think one of the funnier ones was we started to see Britney as Pierce. Um. She was doing the ear the finger to the ear for Ride with During Ride with Me, I think this is where it all happened. I think this is the birth. This episode was the birth of Brittany as Pierce. That's right, because Ryan was around exactly hate on me. Yeah, definitely, I think so. Best performance by a prop I am voting for either

the ultrasound or the Bond's Eye tree. Oh yeah, I think the fake ultrasound is okay, pretty great performance Okay, um didn't age well. I just want to shout out somebody on Twitter west um, because we said last week that are not a couple of weeks ago that things had aged pretty well. And then there's the whole part about April Roads looking up with all the boys in the locker room from Roads not take So yeah, yeah, I forgot about that. Thank you for keeping us honesty

call us out all the time. Please, people just do it. But I think a lot of things in this episode do not age well yet, like all the insults, the nas right, it's the minority thing in general just doesn't really work anymore. No, Um, but here we are, Okay. Do you have some favorite quotes? I mean, no, not the chip. There's about in this episode too many. Oh my god, I know the Dutch are notoriously cold people. Oh god. I mean I think the drizzle line was

really good. I empower my cheerios to live in fear by creating an environment of your rational and random terror. Um. I do think. Um, I like minorities so much. I'm thinking of moving to helpful. Need to become one is great. There's a million things, a million lines that I think could win best line. I think the whole episode was

just one line, zingers all over the place. As Jeff Goldbin would say, this is what brings us to ship we found on TikTok brings us should we found on TikTok You think we can get Jeff Goldblum on here when it gets to definitely alright, Okay, for give it to me, Kevin. So there was a tweet by Deja with us doing Ride with Me that said, I can't explain it, but this is hands down one of my favorite Glee moments. And then someone on TikTok um named

um Yackie miss green screen. I'm going to go with that. Uh, made a TikTok about it and said this was unscripted, just them having fun, and it's true and not true because it was doing that number was planned like we were hurst it. We were miked, oh no, but it was not originally in the script. Yes, it was inspired by Okay, it was inspired by true events, that is correct, but the actual filming of it was not. Ryan decided to add it in pretty on early into us filming

the episode. We were sitting by our chairs off when they were changing setups and we were doing that number and we were singing it and people were like kind of jamming along, and Ryan was like, oh, I like that, keep it And so do you guys know that, like if we filmed it, do you know all the words? We could do that? Like sure, um cut two, we don't know the words and um they we found out we were shooting it. The next day they were adding it into the top of the choir room. And I

stayed up hours trying to learn this freaking song. Yeah, I had not I didn't know in any of it. So I stayed up learning all of this because of course there's there's Jenna. I got to be, you know, miss type AI perfectionist. I knew all the words by the time we didn't. Yeah, I think I knew most of the words already. And then there were a couple of ye and they gave us what they do is like technically speaking. They also give us these little earwigs that just have like a beat in it, like that

is so light. And then we couldn't. We were so bad. Like they gave us an opportunity to do something live and it was really bad, and it was bad. We could not keep on beat. It was but it was inspired by a real, true event and it was us just having fun. But it was also we did it a bunch of times, which is why I think, um the white people line ended up in there because the whole scene was just sort of improvised. Um um. They
