Transcript

Speaker 1

And That's what you really missed with Jenna.

Speaker 2

And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast.

Speaker 1

Welcome to and That's what you really missed a podcast.

Speaker 2

I'm Jenna, I'm Kevin, and this is the season two premiere episode of Glee.

Speaker 1

Wompom.

Speaker 2

So last time Glee aired, it was over the summer, and after a couple months off and a tour and a European vacation slash press tourt, we went back to work the beginning of or the middle of July, beginning of August, and the first episode back, called Audition, aired on September twenty first, two thousand and ten. And this time the show was a hit. We knew it was

a hit. Fox knew it was a hit, and so they moved us to an earlier timeslot because before, I think it was American Idol or leading, and so American Idol was the biggest sh on television. It was leading into our show, so we got big ratings. This time, they moved us up an hour into the primetime slot, which meant we could say and do certain things because there are more restrictions I guess on this time slot because more people watched it.

Speaker 1

Right.

Speaker 2

Oh, and we did say a lot, which leads us to this, just as a blanket statement and preface for this episode, this episode has not aged well.

Speaker 1

The whole thing has not aged well.

Speaker 2

On the whole. We watched it and I texted Jenna and then she texted me, and we were like, how do we do this because there are so many jokes, inappropriate statements.

Speaker 1

Yes, yes, that that someone else back then, and that's it. It's like it didn't age well. It was a different time, like we wanted to acknowledge how far we've come and how much farther we have to go.

Speaker 2

Yeah, And I remember talking to some of the our castmates of color about the show in hindsight, you know, over the past few years, and they would bring up certain jokes and things. And I was telling Jenny the other day that I think sort of my young white boyness insulated me from realizing the extent of what was being said in this episode and watching it back, it was sort of like a checklist of all the things that we can't and shouldn't say anymore.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and even like because like a lot of the jokes were very we're very Asian focused racist, very racist, but also it was like back then, like we just had to take it almost, which was so eye opening for me, Like I just took it, which is kind of crazy because I probably didn't feel like there's another option. Well there wasn't. Yeah, I mean, I guess I could have spoken of but what I probably have lost my job perhaps, you know what I mean. Right, So it just we have come a long way, I feel, in

terms of the way things have become unacceptable. And even I just felt like I was like, oh, yeah, this is like like everybody's getting shit on, right, Like everybody has jokes about them is that are slightly personal, that like high true to the you know, real what was happening in the real world at the time, and so it felt like, oh, everybody was kind of doing it. So that's he made it okay for that in that moment. In that moment, it was.

Speaker 2

All getting made fun of this.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, it's just all they just used racist thing to like make fun of me and Harry and Jake, you know. Yeah, So it's an it's an interesting thing to look back on, and we wouldn't have Hopefully everybody's learned a little bit more at this about how they I just the time and how we've grown, you know, and what we're learning and how we're going trying to do better.

Speaker 2

And I think you do see how you can do that successfully, and we will see that done successfully past this episode and the first season. There's a lot of instances where there's like crass jokes, but that don't rely on racism, sexism, ableism, right, any of the things that may be touched upon in this episode.

Speaker 1

Right right, right, right. And the interesting thing about I mean, and here's the other thing that's interesting thing about Ryan's shows in particular, are that he lifts up the unheard,

unseen underdogs. And so while we have all of these things that we're addressing and going to move forward from and learn from, there's also like it's there's such a juxtaposition because he does uplift all, you know, just everybody and gives people a chance, and so it feels, I don't know, it just feels it's an interesting contrast.

Speaker 2

It just feels outdated. It feels outdated in context of the world, and it feels outdated even in the world of Ryan Murphy shows.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. Let's talk about.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that's our sort of warning going into this, Yes, keep that in mind that we are aware more than aware. Is a hard watch and I was dreading doing this one.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, we both were. Okay, so let's talk about what was going on in the world that was good. Teenage Dream was number one at the time by Katie Perry, which is very exciting and we will see that soon in Glee. The number one movie was The Town with ben a Flack and Jeremy Runner. I don't remember this like it being such a smash.

Speaker 2

I don't. I vaguely remember it happening, and then I remember like staying up there like it did really well for a long time. But damn you now, it's just like Marvel movies, right.

Speaker 1

And we were on summer break at the time, Kevin and we went to We went to Monaco, which we talked about last episode. We went to London, we went to Paris.

Speaker 2

And my first time all those places.

Speaker 1

Oh my gosh, you were and was that our first trip to Paris? It was I didn't think it was right.

Speaker 2

Yeah, first it was a mess.

Speaker 1

You, me and my brother, well, we were all so grossly hungover that day, but it was still really fun.

Speaker 2

Yeah. I've never been the same that our European vacation.

Speaker 1

One of the best summers of my life the.

Speaker 2

Same and I also think I probably shaved off several years of my life.

Speaker 1

I mean, for sure, the amount of things that we imbibed was it was alarming.

Speaker 2

And we just kept going. And the thing was.

Speaker 1

Twenties, you can do that.

Speaker 2

And there was one of the heads of Fox International who traveled with us. She could just go. She knew all the best like all the best restaurants to go to, all the best clubs to go to. And we were really hitting it. We were hitting and it was us and there was Tay Diggs and Zachary Levi and Jess Zor and this random assortment of people that we all happened to be in London at the same time.

Speaker 1

And in Monaco it was the It felt like summer camp for celebrities.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, it's Nina de brev and Ian Summerhall and Assandra.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that's right. Wow.

Speaker 2

We live like lifelong friends there, didn't we.

Speaker 1

It was really fun.

Speaker 2

It was really really cemented our friendship in a different way, I feel like, because certainly, yes, we had already worked together and gone on tour for a year, but when you can travel with somebody successfully and not kill each other and become even closer.

Speaker 1

Well, this was before we had really moved in together, like I think we had moved our stuff in, but then we had left and so we hadn't even really lived together yet. So this summer, going into living together, to going into another season, going into losing Corey, to going into another well a world tour before and then losing Korey, it all really it started to really go uphill, yeah, before it went downhill.

Speaker 2

Yes, this was like the cementing of the foundation of like, Okay, nothing is going to break us because we are so close and tight. So when we ended up, So the thing was we went to Monaco the film Festival, and they went to London to do press and in London, Amber and Chris were on their own European vacation and we each had our own secure guard. It was the first time that we sort of had this quote unquote like celebrity status, and so we had a van, we

had a security guard. Even Stephen, just Steven, and my brother was going to university in northern England, Durham, and I remember he was out of the country the entire first season of Glee, so he had been watching the show from the UK but did not understand the gravity of the situation. And he was coming out of London to meet me with my other brother who was visiting him, and I told him his name's Timmy. I said, we have a security guard and a van, so anywhere we

need to go, they're going to come with us. And I'm the younger brother, and he's like, what we need security, We need a van. Well, just like we'll take the two we'll walk around Like who cares him? I go, yeah, But Fox is worried that there might be like some paparazzi or fans, and he goes, what with your ugly No, that's not gonna be a problem. And he shows up to the hotel and we go to get in the we go to walk to a pub, so I'm like, okay, yep, we're gonna go. It was our first afternoon there' and

we walked to this pub and it was fine. The security guys with us, Steven and my brother are a little freaked out with Steven's like waiting outside and we eat and by the time we leave it, we start to get mobbed by fans on the street. And then we walked these two blocks, and Steven has to like get us through this crowd and into the hotel. And then Timmy's like, oh, oh, that's really weird. Why is

that happening? And then later that night we were going out to dinner and then by that point there were people camping outside the hotel swarms, and we went out to a club, and then we lost Timmy in the crowd. And then do you remember Pam Jackson from Fox. She reaches out, the door, opens the door, reaches out, grabs Timmy, Timmy's six four, pulls him into the van, and there's paparazzi by this point following us everywhere. And he turns and goes, oh, I like this van in security. I

get it now, I like it. It's like yeah. And so it was a really eye opening experience for us because to see somebody who had physically not been in the US, which has been our entire experience of Glee, right, and someone who's obviously very close to me look at me and see metal news things, Yeah, like, what the hell happened? I've only been gone for like ten months.

Speaker 1

The world everything changed, never the same.

Speaker 2

But that was our experience, and now going back into season two, we were, you know, like, oh we're famous now.

Speaker 1

Well also if you I mean, we open on everybody looking real tan with some real good hair.

Speaker 2

Rachel Berry's got mini skirts and a blowout.

Speaker 1

Everybody was looking real like a little bit of a blow up this season round. Yeah. We uh, it's a pretty crazy episode, like we said, but you know, at least everybody looks good.

Speaker 2

Everybody looks good. I I was like, even I look a little different.

Speaker 1

Harry Shum's abs looked wicked good.

Speaker 2

I mean, wow, so fine, really going into this using the full extent of there's body. You know, we made him dance at every possible moment the first season and second season, like, you know what, take your shirt off?

Speaker 1

Oh, the guys had to take their shirts up a lot. Okay, should we do this? Should we just get into it? Chat about it?

Speaker 2

Yeah, let's get into it. So this episode was directed by Brad Foutchuk, keeping it in the family.

Speaker 1

Yay.

Speaker 2

On paper it says it's written by Ian but we know it's all three.

Speaker 1

We meet just and Goals be this episode, our friend Cheyenne Jackson, We have some of the usual suspects. We also meet Coach Beast for the first time. Our sweet sweet Dot Marie, the special guest we had was previously known as series as Jake Sires Zyrus as Sunshine Corson. And we also meet mister Sam Evans, the Sam Evans court Over Street. So, uh, we're going to get into it. What songs we're in this episode, Kevin.

Speaker 2

Oh, I mean some hits like the budget there was budget, so we empire, State of Mind Okay by Jay Z and the chu Keys, Telephoned by Gaga, Billionaire by Chraviy McCoy and Bruno. Listen from Dreamgirls and What I Did for Love from a chorus line. I mean, those are some bangers.

Speaker 1

I mean, truly all.

Speaker 2

It's really crazy and I think for us, like this episode is really about we met like a lifelong friend in court Over Street and in Dot Marie Jones.

Speaker 1

Oh for sure, My goodness. Yeah, this is the beginning of the start of something new. So this episode just a quick overview. We've got some new faces that are going to give our glee Club veterans a run for their money, some new challenges, a little bit more competition and jealousy because the glee club needs another member because our funding is name cut and we lost.

Speaker 2

Who do we lose Matt Rutherford?

Speaker 1

That's right, well the last night and then we lost Jesse, So now we need another glee club member. And we have a new football coach that brings a rivalry between Sue and the coach Beast, and Will has remorse about how he pranked and was very unwelcoming to her because she ends up being such a darling, darling person.

Speaker 2

Love it classic setup, you know, giving a common enemy where the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right, yes, So Sylvester and Will team up to take down beast yep, and the kids go out and try to recruit some new students. So here's what happens. Figgins cuts the glean chair's budget because there's a new football coach, and coach Beast demands that the football team has bigger budget because she's a champion coach brings in the most money mm hmm.

And so Sue and Sue team up to try to take her down with a bunch of pranks and hilarity, and I mean, yeah, this goes into you know things you said in the beginning. So they ordered twenty five pizzas for bees during the first practice, but at backfire she plays it off, you know, has the students eat it. They have operation mean Girl in the faculty lunch room where Sue and Will Dolan her set at the table, don't let be sit at the table right right, and

all of these things eventually add up. It's very high school, but for adults it's the same thing what kids do to each other. And Beast ends up, you know, crying in the locker room and the kids catch her, and then she takes it out on Finn and Artie as he tries to join the football team.

Speaker 1

Right, So already wants to join the football team because he wants to get his girlfriend back. He wants Tina back, and he's been not a great great boyfriend to Tina. I mean, really, you were pretty shitty boyfriend. He's my language to Tina based on what I saw, what I watched in this episode, I don't disagree. And Tina falls in love with Mike Chang at Asian Camp, which we'll just leave that there.

Speaker 2

I would like to think that I don't remember me doing this voiceover at all, because I heard my voice saying these words and gasped. Because one I have no recollection of doing it right, and two it's just not good racist. Yeah, well, I mean the whole storyline is fairly rais.

Speaker 1

You couldn't well, and like we just have to talk about the fact that like Tina, Tina and Mike's last names are the same Chang, which is not really good. Correct, Like they're not We're not the same Asian Chang is not Korean and anyway we learned. But I mean the fact that Tina and Mike last so long. Like I love working with Harry. We had the most ridiculous storylines and things, and Harry is just a joy to be with. But why you gotta put the Asians together there? Right?

It all began here. So Alreadie convinces Finn to help him get on the football team in a very you know, high school way like that his intention is to get a girl and to look tough, and and Beasts takes it the wrong way because she is feeling very vulnerable and doesn't want to look like the bad guy.

Speaker 2

Again, and Sue and will to just mess with her like a kid in a wheelchair.

Speaker 1

Having to say no, right, exactly crazy, but which she will end upon the football team anyway. And and so that scene, though, I was like, wow, let's just let's just watch Dot Marie.

Speaker 2

Act act like act great emotion in this episode.

Speaker 1

What an awesome what an awesome intro and.

Speaker 2

Dot Dot will come on here, But can I cannot say enough nice things about Dot Dot is a goddamn ray of sunshine.

Speaker 1

And literally an angel, like a living angel, and is one of.

Speaker 2

The nicest, sweetest, most thoughtful, caring, like the way she can just cry like roamy because they wear their heart so externally on their sleeve and they love so hard and so fully that to see Dot even play someone who's like angry or full of rage is so against how she is as a human being correct or like if you if you mess with their people, like she'll

get angry. But she is just the best, the best, and little did we know, like what a treat we were in for it to get to work with her right now so many years.

Speaker 1

It's true, It's very true.

Speaker 2

It was great.

Speaker 1

So the crew gets bigger, the cast gets bigger. It's the beginning, and then along with the coach beast, the kind of coach beast punking that Sue wants to keep going. She kind of you know, lays off towards the you know, the mid episode, Sue gets Brittany to accused coach of inappropriately touching her, which is also really bad. I mean the doll. The doll is funny, that is not the circumstances are just not like, it's not good. It's not good.

Speaker 2

I was shocked for a second. I thought I was like, oh this this, surely this can't be what is happening in the scene.

Speaker 1

But you know, I did appreciate like we finally had the voice of reason back and mister Shue like he came back and was like, Brittany, so you can ruin somebody's life by doing this, Like we've already addressed the touching,

the inappropriate touching. Obviously, Ian told us like he had heard his real choir teacher had had that right, those accusations, and then also with you know, Stephen Toubleski playing Sandy Ryerson in the whole thing, but this was like another level of that, especially at a prank when it's not true. She knows it's not true. Sue's out of her mind,

like a different level. Right, well, apologize it's a beast, and Sue's pissed off about this and brings them dog poop cookies and Sue says, are you turning on me in public? The two of you are making a very serious mistake today, the likes of which have not been seen since the Mexican Indians sold in Manhattan to George

Washington for an upskirt photo of thet Z Ross. Oh god, you know, all the things that says in this are wildly inappropriate, to the point where I was like, how did we get away with any of this?

Speaker 2

Which is crazy because as we go into this next storyline, like I said, there were different things that we couldn't say at eight pm mm hm that we could get away with at nine pm. And I don't know if they were doing that just out of an abundance of caution, But when we did Billionaire, I couldn't say damn, right, I had to say like dang or darn or something. But yet we can say all this other stuff, right. Well, it's very interesting.

Speaker 1

Yeah, the censorship has a very it's it's very strange, right, It's like very specific rules that there's probably like a huge gray area with insulting.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 1

The second storyline that we're going to talk about is that obviously the glee Club needs a new member. Now we are down one and we can't compete without another member. But obviously we are suffering because Jacob Bennerserrol wrote a blog over the summer about Glee Club and it's given the Glee Club a bad rap and nobody wants to audition.

Speaker 2

I mean, JBI does this crazy sort of like Perez Hilton, I imagine inspired vlog for the episode, definitely, and it absolutely addresses everything that was said about all of us online in real life, totally about the show, about the characters,

and I love that it's poking fun at it. But at the same time, it starts to get a little crazy, right because it starts, I think, and we see in this season a lot there's some mining from our real lives that are put into the episodes, and we're going to reference that a lot because it does happen a lot. And I remember having a conspiracy theory back then that I thought there was somebody on set who is intentionally stirring the pot right get stories to bring back to

the writers. I have never been able to confirm that, but so much of our lives ended up in this story.

Speaker 1

Oh truly, and the whole blog, you know, Jacob and Israel life confirming or denying his whole video is the cringe of the episode. Essentially, I don't even want to go into like the topics because it's just all bad. It's all really bad. But like you said, it definitely mirrored something like a lot of the things that were made up about us. So in encouraging somebody to sign up for the glee club, we are, we go, we

take it to the streets. We go to the courtyard, which will this is the first time we see the courtyard in It's at Bernstein High School. If you live in La it's like in the middle of Hollywood, essentially pretty close to Paramount And go.

Speaker 2

To the Netflix headquarters right and we will.

Speaker 1

We will spend a lot of time there doing a lot of numbers in the courtyard and throughout those stairwells you'll see a lot and whatnot.

Speaker 2

But we you've also noticed there's new sets as well, so this is part of that whole. We have Bernstein in addition to Cabrillo High School, which is in Long Beach, and then we have a library, bigger library that we're using.

Speaker 1

Always just being crazy different. Yeah, a lot more that Walker room all new, right right, right, right, right.

Speaker 2

Money.

Speaker 1

So the Gleek Club takes it and does empire state of Mind. And I prefer the tour version of this then watching this in real life because I don't know what I was wearing or what I was doing. I just thought I was in a costume shop living. But I really love the song. And I don't love the performance of this number in the episode. But I love the song so much and it will live in infamy for me.

Speaker 2

I think it's hilarious having me Corey and Mark do j Z. I do think that's hilarious. But yeah, this number was so much fun to do on tour the best. I was fully like out of my mind. I was fully in it every single night on tour, just shouting like an idiot.

Speaker 1

We loved it.

Speaker 2

I shouldn't have been No, we loved it. We were big fans here for it.

Speaker 1

Yeah. So we see two potential members. We see a Sunshine and we see Sam Evans tapping their feet singing along. We're like, oh my god, we're gonna go get them.

So Finn goes and he hears very much like how mister Shoe found Finn singing in the shower, he finds Sam Evans singing every Rod says it's thorn naked hot and yeah, looking so good and with his little beaver cut, Cordy looking so young, and then Rachel going to the bathroom and finding Sunshine in there and just basically saying that she's going to looking for a background member of the glee club, amongst many other wildly inappropriate things that I do know that there's some of that that was

taken from a YouTube of Celine Dion that we like, a montage that we watched a lot, and so I know she was like imitating Celeene and some of that, But anyway, it's yeah, more importantly, she they sing telephone for like one second and we hear Sunshine, who has a voice, and Rachel's starting to get competitive, and then Sue coming in and saying shod up, which is so I love those moments because it's like, oh, yeah, we're just gonna break out into song in the bathroom in

high school. And then Sue's like, no, we're not, and let me just bring it back down and we're we're, you know, making fun of ourselves again.

Speaker 2

Yeah, And.

Speaker 1

So I thought that was one of my favorite moments of the episode.

Speaker 2

Also, just the way you know how Rachel of course goes about it in that way where I want someone to join it as a body, but not someone that can actually contribute anything. And then Finn goes on and find Sand and it's so wholesome and convinces him to like sing with the guys, and I love that scene of him standing there and the guy's sort of, you know, grilling him ish like, dude, your mouth is huge. How

many tennis balls can you fit in there? And Sam says, I don't know, I've never had balls in my mouth.

Speaker 1

Of you.

Speaker 2

It's very it's very accurate to how the guys were, and for sure, then we do Billionaire, which I had so much fun doing, and I just remember spending so much time with Cord this episode. I got to spend quite a bit of time with Cord, yeah, and Dot these first few episodes. And like the scene where Beast is yelling at me and Finn in the locker room,

that's sort of where I remember we were talking. It was me, Mark and Corey talking with Cord about like, do you think you're going to be Kurt's you know, boy friend?

Speaker 1

Is that?

Speaker 2

Is that what's going to happen? He's like oh, I don't know, I have no idea, and so we were I remember us him looking at us like, is that the role I auditioned for?

Speaker 1

You?

Speaker 2

Nobody knew what was happening, and I did text Ryan and I asked him if if Kor's character Sam was supposed to be Kurt's boyfriend, and he said no. I think we sort of had that rumor amongst us, and maybe it just was not true.

Speaker 1

Well, and I think I think they were amidst the casting for Darren's role at the time as well, Like we knew that was coming, and so we heard that there was going to be a new cast member and it was going to be Kurt's new boyfriend. And so I think when we saw Hotcore come in, the timing was all right and that we were like, yeah, there, you're going to play this person. And so I think that was the kind of where where it came, where it came from that rumor. You see how it rose.

Speaker 2

And then Rachel tells Sunshine to show up for auditions, gives her an address to a crackhouse.

Speaker 1

Hey, y, it wasn't It wasn't an active crackhouse though, so that it made it okay.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that's fine, and Sam didn't show up to auditions because of which he saw what Coach Beast did to Finn, and he decides to stick with football, and now he becomes the quarterback, and unbeknownst to us, because of Rachel Shenanigan's Sunshine gets recruited by Vocal Adrenaline once she goes back to you know, sort of apologize to Sunshine and who do we meet at the new Vocal Adrenaline coach.

Speaker 1

Right, Dustin Goldsby our friend, our beautiful friend, Shiane Jackson. But we have to go back and talk about how Sunshine actually did say it didn't audition for new directions and made it in and sang listen and wildly sang that song that we were all just literally hooting and hollering. It's so good.

Speaker 2

I lost it.

Speaker 1

I mean it was whild to watch watch them do that number.

Speaker 2

I mean, like, I mean, we had all seen Jake aunt Oprah right, like had.

Speaker 1

You yoh yeah, yeah, I knew all about Jake at that point, like we it was a big get for us.

Speaker 2

Yes, and a vocal list right like good lord and so sweet and quiet and just had this insane voice. But yeah, that again was not us acting. We were really actually losing it. The only one who had to act in that scene was Leah. She had an upset exactly exactly. So Finn is pretty upset at Rachel for.

Speaker 1

For doing that. It's really bad, and Rachel's you know, and actually gives her like a little bit of like a come down to earth, like, let's you have to be honest with yourself. Which I really like that scene because I love Rachel and Finn so but then Rachel sings what I Did for love. She gives us all the tears, all the fields. It's an iconic song, so it's very exciting to do that, and eventually in the Glue club will come around because like, what are we gonna do? Hate Rachel? Whatever? Now.

Speaker 2

So the other thing that's happening this episode is Quinn, right, so everybody's sort of doing their own thing, you know. Finn gets sort of like kicked off the football team because the already thing. Quinn is trying to audition for the Cheerios again and basically gives it this to like, look, if you don't put me on the team, there will be hell to pay. And Finn shows up to audition and one of the funniest scenes ever because he has nowhere to go because he was kicked off the football team.

And he shows up and does this incredible, incredible dance, if we can call it that, and Will tries to convince Beast not to kick fin off the team, and that's the moment he realizes what he did to Beast and lunchroom was super mean and decides to switch his story. And so, after finding out Santana got the boob job, Sue demotes her and then makes Quinn captain.

Speaker 1

And Quinn he leverages the churches to bring in money for her competity Cannons and I just have to talk about Corey's audition for the Cheerios. Just for one second, I was howling. It's so good, it's so freaking funny, and it's exactly who Corey is. That is Corey.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that was not acting.

Speaker 1

It brought me so much joy to watch that I think I forgot about it, and I love I could watch Teerio auditions all day long.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, I wish we had a super cut of just Teerio.

Speaker 1

Auditions, right, can somebody teas?

Speaker 2

Yeah? If we could do that, that would be fantastic. The other thing that was great in this episode was the fist fight between Quinn and Santana, which is one of our things. We would quote it forever after that.

Speaker 1

She has a mother, She's a mother, she has a family. Oh god, delivery was just so so right, so right, And who doesn't love a cat bite.

Speaker 2

I always think our fights look so good and real, and I loved how they were shot. Yeah, and this is one of the best, if not the best. Oh yeah, oh yeah, Like last season there was the one where Finn and Putt you know, fight each other in the wheelchairs, and that looks super crazy and real, and I love this one. I mean, that's that's sort of the episode, folks. If you can get through all that, then we're set up for some conflict for the next for the following twenty one episodes, and it's exciting.

Speaker 1

The next couple of episodes are pretty exciting. So we got through, We got through our premiere, and we're getting set up for some really exciting things coming.

Speaker 2

Yeah, all right, so.

Speaker 1
