And that's what you really missed with Jenna.
And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast.
Welcome to And that's what you're reading in this podcast. It is rumor time. I'm dead of Rumersgarden wrong rumor. Yeah, so many rumors flying around, so many rumors like you being on steroids.
Oh my god, what happened to you guys? What happened to media literacy? Did it exist?
No, that's I was going to say, what happened?
Right?
It never was?
Never was? Okay, Welcome everybody, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Hi, Kevin, Hi, Jenna. This is a fun episode because this is a special episode.
All one album, the first time we've done that.
It is a perfect album, you know.
Oh no, I have nothing bad to say about this album. I am Christine McVie, who passed away fairly recently. I didn't realize she wrote most of this album. And she's sort of becoming like a George Harrison figure to me that the older I get, I sort of gravitate towards her songs and how because I was watching Naya sing songbirds who wrote this? And it was her? And I think we know Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham. But yeah, damn, she could write the shit out of a song. Certainly.
She wrote five songs on this.
Album, Wow, which one she.
Wrote, Don't Stop? She wrote Songbird, She co wrote The Chain with all of Fleetwood. She wrote you Make Love and Fun and wrote oh Daddy, Wow, what's crazy is too? I loved that sort of. One of the lessons in this episode is that they were all cleved. Mack was not getting along and they wrote sort of separately or when they did come together, it was only about music and a lot of these songs are just solo rights.
Wow.
There's only one song that has It's the Chain that has everybody on it. Everything else was either Lindsey Buckingham, Steve Nicks or Christine McVie by themselves. Yeah, they were writing, They had a lot of feelings and they were writing this how crazy. But love that. This is the first you know all album episode that we did because it deserves it. It's one of the best selling, if not the best selling album of all time.
Geez yeah, I mean or that his hits is the best.
I don't know.
That's the Eagles?
Can you keep us now? As a kid, I was obsessed with these sorts of charts and lists and what's the best selling single and album? And still are still yes? So Rumors aired on May thir twenty eleven. It was season two episode nineteen.
Oh my god, my heart just started to flutter.
We were almost done with season two.
That's crazy, it really is, okay. The number one song was et Still from by Katy Perry featuring I'm just gonna say Katy Perry. The number one movie was Fast five. Still haven't seen any of.
Those, that's crazy. They were already on five twenty eleven.
The tenth can seem fast and furious, any of them? Because I really love these, like very simple action movies. Not simple. Let me rephrase that. I really love these. It's simple, these blockbuster action films, and so I just I feel like there's too many, Like I don't even know where to start.
I think you can just start anywhere.
I don't want to.
I've only seen the second one, Too Fast, too Furious, and I say, and you can. That's good enough for me, okay.
Glee News This week. On May second, Diana, Lee and Matt went to the met Gala for the first time in New York City and the theme was McQueen, Savage, Beauty Woo.
And on May fourth, the cast attended special screening Q and a panel at the Television Academy at Paramount Studios.
Oh my goodness, I only remembered these events based on what I was wearing because there were so many of them. So if I see a picture this one, okay, okay, So I was wearing like a like an orange dress. I think we were coming off of So. I think we had all been working all day and then just changed into our outfits from one.
Yes, that sounds right.
In our trailers because we all are very tired.
And.
Didn't We always look tired, some days more tired than others, but we were still young. So this episode, as Kevin said, is the first episode that is centered around an album, a singular album, and it was directed by Tim Hunter, who I think this is his one and only if I'm sweet Hunter christ and CHOHn was back as abral Roads. She's back and tell me about.
The songs in this episode Kevin Wow, stacked dreams, never going back again, Songbird, I don't want to know, go your own way, don't stop.
Then there's a little aast risk, you know, nice to meet you have I Slept with You now, which is not part of Rumors.
It's very funny though it is.
And then an honorable mention shout out to the chain that's playing in the background throughout a lot of the episode. I love that.
Yeah, I love that too.
There's some great fun facts as well.
Okay, tell me some.
Fleetwood Macs album Rumors re entered the Billboard two hundred chart at number eleven the week after this episode air.
I mean, look, we can take a little bit of credit for that, but also like it stands on it.
Oh yeah, and I think it has just gotten better with age too, totally. It's just become cooler and cooler.
We listened to it all the time now and has heard it quite a few times. What else happened? What other fun facts?
At Paileyfest, Ryan Murphy revealed Stevien Next visiting the set for Landside inspired them to choose Rumors as their single album tribute episode. That was a quick turnaround. You see how quickly they have to come up with these things. In the turnaround, we just did land Signs.
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Ryan said. We can get Stevie NICKX on the phone now and we can get Lindsay Buckingham who has kids, who's like, oh my god, I'd love that. So twelve hours later, you get the rights to rumors.
Oh crazy, I've just got chills. Twelve hours you get the rights to.
Room like what Stevie Nicks on Speed Dial. Okay, so apparent Remember we asked about Fondu for two. Yes, where it came from? Yes, So apparently it did come from a Glee van Teresa, who went to the tour in twenty ten and had a letter delivered to Corey that mentioned she was writing from an internet program, a YouTube show called Fondu for two. Heather admitted the idea came from a letter in the show later, since Teresa an autograph copy of the script, an autograph cast picture, and thanks.
Wow.
I did not know that.
I don't think I knew that either. Wow. You know what? I vaguely remember this, Yes.
I did, Ron Burgundy. I'm just reading things.
I know I remember this. Yes, yes, yes, okay, Oh my gosh, this is that's really funny because it's it's it is. One of my favorite things about the show is Fondue for two.
I enjoyed Fondue for two now a lot you didn't.
Like Fondu for two back in the day.
No, I I was confused by it.
Yeah, that's fair.
I was very confused by it. Now they didn't like it. I was like, is this the same show? Well, but I don't know why. That's what we do so much crazy shit? Why was that?
The thing was like, hmmm, I kind of agree with you. It felt dated, Like the way it was shot felt like a seventies like or eight like I don't know, eighties like Nickelodeon show like There's six Plains at All or something like that. I don't know. It just felt different than what we were doing. And like the style and the quality of the way it was shot. I think also visually changed my way of seeing it. And you're right, I enjoy it much more now. But it's so funny. It was so funny.
I do have to say, though, to your note about how it was filmed, I feel like Tim Hunter filmed this very sematically. Cinematically. It felt more like a little movie. It didn't feel so TV to me.
Yeah. I had a lot of very Yeah, no, you're You're totally right, and there are really a lot of beautiful shots. So Jenna, what happens in this episode. Okay, break it down for it, break it down. Okay, So Sue Sue.
I'm sorry. I couldn't say cinematic and you didn't say anything, and you mess up one word.
There's this blooper from Glee that I sue Sue has school spirit or something like that, and it reminded me of that. It brought me back to my lips started to get all tangled.
So soon I thought bloopers didn't exist.
No, no, there doesn't exist. Sense, I'm friends with a lot of people who worked in the editing room.
Okay, I caught you. Jenna's got something in the fault. I feel this is she's covering her face. Now, Jenna, do you have bloopers? You're gonna get hacked so quickly.
Then don't don't bring it. I'm crying.
Wow. Okay, hmm, don't worry. I'm gonna have anymore.
You're gonna dig out with me.
I'm coming over suits. Jen is actually crying. Okay.
So Sue revives the Muckraker, which is the school newspaper. It's very trumpy and the way that this is all approached. Okay, So Sue decides to print a few inflammatory blind items, very anonymous, very gossipy, very page six ish. The Glee club gains a new respect for Sam when they discover this big secret at the end of the episode about his life. And meanwhile, I Were Roads returns to Lama and tries to convince Will to hit the road with
her a Broadway and leave McKinley behind. All while these rumors are being thread and intertwined throughout the.
Episode what if Trump She's a really big Glee fan?
Gross and then Stopian universe Kevin. Whatever Sue does, I can do better? Whatever?
So okay, rumors tidally episode how do we get into rumors? Sue brings back to the school newspaper to stop the glee club with the help of Terry. She's back April Unknowingly. This scene at the line of Bean where Sue stresses David Bowie and then very quickly is Anne Colter is one of the wildest.
It's getting really wild now.
And I love this is her being incognito.
And asking her moke up powder.
By the way, since Terry Shooter has gotten a divorce, her face beats. This is looking great.
She's painted, She's single and fancy free Okay.
Yeah, she wants her apartment back. I don't know how she's going to get that back, but I don't either.
But Terry has an idea that she's going to get They should get Will out of the glee club instead of destroying him from the inside. And Sue has this. He's talking about the Muckbreaker, and she's saying that she's no longer concerned with facts fact checking in the integrity effects the muckreaker motto if I heard it's probably true or something sounds familiar. And the newspaper causes chaos because there are some items about it reminds me of like Do moy in our day and age of like the
Secret Keeper, Oh totally, or the Gossip Tellers. And this is about Quinn Sam having a secret affair because they're meeting up at a motel and about Santana playing for the other team, and it causes k chaos within Lukely Club. And then Will tells April when she returns because she needs to borrow her auditorium that this all sounds like
Fleetwood Mac. So this inspires Will's lesson which I'm I'm noticing a trend, a pattern of Will feeling inspired on the day, So Will's inspired by the Rumors album Fleetwood Max Rumors album. That that's gonna be the lesson plan for the week.
I mean it's very also Stevie Nick's being on set and Ryan being inspired to the Rumors episode.
Correct.
I do think it's wild that Brittany just outed. I mean, giving her the benefit of the doubt. Yes, Brittany does some questionable things, but she doesn't no better. But her outing her on Fondu for two was pretty wild. How is it filming Fondue for two? Okay, you're looking into the camera.
It was really fun. It was really fun, really really fun to do amber with the fund with the fondue being really hot, was really funny.
I felt very real it was.
There was all like very off the cuff, very ridiculous. Gosh, this is so funny. Lord Tubbington I think he was in this one. I think it was this one. Maybe we come do we come back for Fundu for two?
Yes, there's a lot more fun Okay, no, but I mean, does teena come back funny?
Probably because in my memory and I think it was this one, Lord Tummington would not stay still and Lord Tubbington kept running out of the room. Yeah, and so we had to keep doing it because Lord Tummington wouldn't do his job.
Remember you guys telling us about.
I wouldn't hit his mark. But sweet Lord Tuvington, I don't remember the cat's real name. It's a cat. It's not even a dog that's like really trainable. It's a cat. And Lord Tumington did not want to be on set that day, so kitty cat get running away. But we love Lord Tomington, Lord Timings. It's my favorite.
You guys were hilarious.
It's very funny. It's it's very it feels very us if. It also feels like very like uh blaming on the alcohol. Me and Amber laughing drunkenly, like fake acting drunkenly together.
You guys on a new set, a new setup, and love it.
We love it anyway. I'm glad that it opened the episode. Oh no, not did it open up? No no, no, it didn't open the episode. It felt like it opened.
I do get why people also wanted like a spin off of this. Oh it did open the episode.
Right, Okay, I'm not crazy, Okay.
But that's not why.
Okay, because I have Bluebirds anyways, saying oh, yes, spin off, I get it now, Yes, definitely.
I wanted to see more of it. I wanted Brittany's take on everything.
Like the Biggest Gossips.
I think that also would be a funny hm hmmm mm hmm, it's just as funny.
Huh.
So Jenna and I have the zoomis.
Who's saying it today? Okay, okay, I'm crying and I don't know why, guys strike, I'm still crying from Kevin outing me. All right, So then Brittany is Brittany gets used by Sue Faster to try and get answers for Girls Are Inspired.
She seems very into it.
Yeah yeah, yeah, gossip for the newspaper for mister Shue. And it's trying. She's trying to be salacious but she doesn't even realize it. But she's also trying to plant the seed in Will's head that he wants to go to the Broadway.
I love that it took to question three for Will to say this is inappropriate it.
But but hew, there's some delivery on like we'll see some coach Susan, I can say anything, right, let's talk about Will.
And in April don't you just love when you see that face come on to the screen?
What a joy? I really wish we had more April Roads in the whole series.
Me too.
It feels like she's always there, it does.
Is that just because she meant a lot to ask off screen?
Yeah? Probably the first guest star.
How good is Dreams? Though?
It's so good? It's so good, it's so good? Can they just sing the whole Rumors album?
I know they're so good? I this fun tract. This was the second single off the album. In real life, you hear.
This and you're like, oh, this was like number one on my cocktail list, like a playlist for uh my wife.
This is one of those songs that also has just gotten bigger with time. Mm hmmm, where like this wasn't something we were listening to in high school, but high school students now know this song?
Yeah yeah. And then April decides that she's going to well when her all white Products of the Wiz didn't work out shocking huzzah. She she decides she's going to write her own musical based on her real feelings, and Will is kind of helping guide that, and they end up performing this wild number nice to meet you. Have I slept with you? This reminds me of like my headband, where like she can't quite find her her groove, her songwriting groove. But the number is beautifully sung. I don't
care what the word said. I could listen to christ and Channhalth all day and.
There's a full orchestra on stage.
They have beautiful It felt like we were watching like like them at the Boston you know, Pops or Yes.
Emma walks in and I was like, oh no, please, guys, don't kiss, don't make something. Luckily that didn't happen.
It didn't.
But Emma Will then encouraged Will to actually follow his dreams.
Dreams, and she's taken her medicine and didn't individually wipe off each great so she's making strides. She is making strides. Can we just talk about the little girls Kiky and April and Sue and Terror having.
I feel like this was also around the time where in La it became like really cool to eat your placenta after you give birth, and that's probably where the writers got that.
Absolutely I did.
Eat my placenta, by the way, Okay, I love that for you. The Kiki is funny. You just don't see those women in a room together ever. But that's you know, I'm a sucker for mixing up the groups always. But the rumor mel works and April's like, wait, well that's not true. This isn't gonna happen.
It's like, well, we'll just put it out there and then it will. So the Glee Club sees it and sees that Will is leaving with April to help over with the show. But he says he has a lot of dreams and one of them is getting the Glee Club to Nationals. After he has that emotional opening with Emma where he starts to sort of cry in the teacher's lounge.
That also reminded me of the Pilot a little bit.
Yeah, it was sweet. I think it's sweet.
It's sweet, okay. And then and then we've got a couple of other things going on within the Muckraker rumor mill. Sam and Quinn are apparently having an affair according to the muckraker, and Finn, who's dating Quit at the time, and so Rachel and Finn to a stake out at the motel outside the motel taking photos and Finn is sure that they're having an affair, but they discover that Kurt is walking out of the hotel with Sam bisexual representation.
I'm kidding, and people they are now think Rachel is thinking he's cheating. I'm blame. So it's all these cheaters.
Everybody's cheating, everybody's rumoring. I also liked this. This was fun, inappropriate for the kids to be doing this, but also something kids would do. This is also at the same time, Jbi is taking pictures of Rachel and Finn together, taking pictures of Kurt and Sam together.
You just think that's inappropriate.
Well, yeah, like sort of stalking someone like that is inappropriate, but also in high school, it's some shit you would do, you know, totally.
Yeah, it's a little adult like, but not really.
It's also just fun. This storyline ends up being comedy and turning into something really meaningful and real at the end.
Yes, So there's a lot of rumors that Sam is gay and Quinn's like, he's not gay, but she can't really reveal what's going on because she knows the truth. She just tells Finn like, you got to trust me. He's like, how can I trust you when you're not telling me anything, you know, not sharing with me. And
then Rachel sees Sam wearing one of kurch jackets. She's just hilarious, which is very hot, and Kurt deflex by questioning the question by saying that Fleetwood Mac only spoke about the music when making rumors, and they so that they should be only focusing on nationals.
Side note, can we speaking of new combos? Can we talk about Rachel and Sam having that little combo episode about prom? So we're bringing up prom because that's happening next episode. And then gives him the chapstick and at the end he's said, thanks for the lip chap And I made it into that. So that's like what we used to.
Say lip chat. Did we get lip chat from that or did they take that from us?
I think they took that from us. I feel pretty confident that Corey.
He took that from us or stuck that in there.
I mean most of Buele, one of the makeup artists, she used to say that all the time too.
Oh maybe it was a bule thing.
Yeah, I think it was a mule thing.
Yeah, Okay, Well, we love when our little jokes make it in. We're a little sayings and things like the mouths.
I think we got at one point about fitting them in very quickly because you wouldn't even notice.
And he also wasn't scared to like mess with people like Yeah, I was like a rule follower. I'd be like, should get the lines exactly right? Okay, he got away with it with anything because he's just so cute.
Pretty privilege is real, all right.
So they do another stakeout at the motel and racheline and see Quinn coming out and then hugging with Sam and so we are sure, we are sure that they're having an affair now, and that's when Finn and Quinn have that little trust conversation and then they sing I Don't want to Know in the choir room.
Also a very good version, Yeah, very good version.
I Don't want to Know is one of the songs I don't Know as well from that album, do you know what I mean? Yeah, I just like one of the ones I don't listen to as as often as some of the others.
I think us doing it made me listen to it more. Yeah, because it's a great song and it's hilarious how they perform it together.
That's fair, that's fair.
They're very good together.
They are. It's actually nice to see them back together.
And it's nice to see Diana get to do some more comedy. Actually, like herself, is always very loaded with drama. It's true, she got pregnant very early, you know, always crying, yeah, poor thing.
And Rachel performs go your Own Way, and she's clearly with no qualms about it, serenading Finn in this number. Rachel's wild, Rachel's off the hook or off off not that's not off the chain. No, that's not right either. Rachel is off her rocker right now, there you go, thank you.
Now, this weird thing happens with the whole Sam thing that felt really inappropriate, but again very high school, where everyone piling on about what he was doing and he's not saying anything totally and everybody's jumping in on everybody, and and then he has like this really serious confession.
That he's very high school though.
Yeah, and then Will's just sort of there, like guys, don't do it. Sam's been living in the motel because his dad lost his job, so they've lost their house and the family's not out living in the hotel, and Kurt has been bringing Sam close and Quinn has been helping Sam babysit his siblings, and so Rachel and Finn go back over there to sort of apologize and to help out. And it's very sweet. You meet his little
siblings and they bring him a guitar. Fenn brings clothes and they realize, you know, like they had to sell their possessions. Everything fits in this one motel room. And his parents are out in the pavement trying to find work and they can't and they mentioned the recession, which if that was really interesting because I don't know, I think this is the first time it's mentioned.
Oh definitely.
It's like, man, not an issue goes unaddressed, ugly right even, But what a perfect character to I know.
I really love this storyline because it's just really honest and raw, and for for cord to do it, it's really sweet.
Oh Cordy crying.
I know. And Cordy has a big family too, so like just like it feels like he was able to like pull from like a really honest place for this, for this. And yeah, he's also really good with kids and he's also a dog whisper, so I believed him with those with his little sisters is he.
A dog whisper.
Yeah, he like pick his bear up, and Bear like melts into his arms and doesn't move. It's really strange. Always from the time Bear was like a tiny puppy to like a couple of days ago, he'll just like pick Bear up and like Bear will just like Okay, Yeah, it's really funny. Did you talk about the guitar? Did you mention the guitar? Did I miss that?
I did?
I did? Okay, okay, okay, But but I didn't talk about how much do they emphasize it, like they need him to stay, They need him, the glee club needs him, He needs the music. Yeah, Because if there's one thing that Rachel's going to talk sincerely about, it's about understanding the love of music and how music helps the people who love it. Right, it's a mutually beneficial relationship. And so when she speaks about that to Sam, I thought
that was really really sweet. And then he brings a siblings to do one more number at the end, don't stop, I'm different, don't stop.
Do you remember this? Yes?
I do. Actually, those kids were so cute.
So cute. We learned this in a jiff this number?
Did we learn it on stage.
Yeah, so if my memory serves correctly, we were very busy doing a thousand other things prepping for the next episode.
And.
Prom was a big one.
Yeah, problem was a really big one. And Zach was working his little tushie off and I remember him like throwing this at us, and they put Harry all the way up at the front because Harry could pick it up really quick and just like we could just follow him. And it was kind of like our free form rock out kind of thing where we like loosely did what we were supposed to do. But it was also kind of fine because it was all about Sam and Quinn and his siblings.
Do you remember side note My relationship to the song was. I remember there was like this VH one special back in the day, I think in the nineties or early two thousands, and Fleetwood Mac performed at his big concert, and I remember staying awake and like looking through like around the side of the wall and watched them perform the song because I loved it.
Well, I loved the song too, Kevin. It was my one of my first dancer title songs. Cute and I'll never forget it. See this album. I'm sure so many people have stories about their connections to these like meaningful numbers and songs. Okay, so then we have to talk about BRITTANY'SWANDU for two, which we kind of talked about already, but we have to talk about Artie's number because woo,
and Santana's number because woo. Okay, so you guys, could Brittany and AARTI have this great scene in the hallway where you're a total butt head towards her because.
Artie does not know how to speak to women.
Woof, he does not. We got to smack his mom, smack Katie Sigal around a little because you know, there's some lessons to have been learned already.
Rough nothing that comes out of his mouth ever correct.
Alreaty's upset because obviously he's hearing about Brittany and Santana and saying, you know, you're kind of like the underdog in this already, and saying like there's some if there's somebody else that like can give her what she needs, and you're feeling like kind of insecure and inferior. Is that right? Yeah?
I think he's like taking out his insecurities and vulnerabilities out on her, like he's projecting onto her where it's that's his own shit that he needs to deal with.
Her.
Cheating is a different thing, right, right, Like he's coming out from a place of Oh, you found somebody that can give you what I'm supposed to give you, right, But it's like, yeah, it's because you don't believe that you're lovable or that you're enough for somebody, right, So get your shit together, sixteen year old?
Then and then already already not you, already.
Calls her oof, I did not remember that?
Oh you didn't.
And Heather's reaction action.
That broke my heart.
Oh my god.
It was really really a great performance by Heather more because I was gut punched.
Yeah, and she got gut punched. It was like, there's so I mean, Britney ninety nine point nine percent of the time is like a fairy, you know, did you? She's just happy going about her thing. And then holy.
Shit, holy crap. Kudos to Heather Morris. Yeah, okay, we go to we go to never Going back again, one of my favorite artie songs of all time. Do you remember, Well, tell me about the recording, and then tell me about this whole guitar idea with all of the guitarists on stage, because I don't remember that, and I my jaw was on the floor.
It's so good, I Ryan told me. In one of those you know, like passing moments we were at We're in video village, somebody was being films like start learning, never going back again, and I had never heard the song before. Ah, and I played it and was so confused because I had no idea how to sing this song where it was. There's not a lot of vocal happening in it, It's a lot of instrumentation, and I was just like, this is a weird choice to put
in an episode. It's not very entertaining. I didn't get it. I didn't know the vision for it. I didn't know the context for it. And when I went to record it, it was just beautiful. I mean the demo, I mean that track with all those guitars is beautiful. Like they built out that track sort of how Glee does they add eight billion vocals, you know, to something. They did that through the acoustic guitars and this song, and Alex was so particular about this. Only happened a couple of
times in the course of the show. But he was so particular in my tone for this song, I think because it was so simple and there's no hiding behind anything yep. So you know, normally things were really hard because they're doing some crazy run or it was really high.
This was like a whole new challenge for me. And the more we talked about these episodes, the more I realized I had to break down every single recording session because I was getting really frustrated because I couldn't hear the difference of just saying a word differently, placing it differently. Oh wow, I felt like I was losing my mind. But you know what made me love the song was all you girls love this, love this, And I didn't
understand it. I don't get this song. I don't want And I remember, like Leah, she would be playing it, blasting it all the time, coming on and off the lot in her car.
Yep.
You were doing the same thing yep. And it was very strange because like, oh they're listening too. Lee's like can you send me that version? You were like can you? So I sensed all you girls yep, And it made me see the song, I think in a new way. And doing that number was also that shot at the end with all the guitars behind was beautiful.
I have chills.
I loved it.
I was kind of watching today and like going back and forth from the kitchen, like you know, doing some multitasking, and I like stopped in my tracks for that number because I kind of like, I've heard it so many times in my head now I kind of forgot the way it was shot, and it's it's similar to some of your other numbers that you've done, like Dancing with Myself. It reminded me of that because you're on the stage, but it was so it was shot so differently, and
having the guitars was so brilliant. It really just elevated the whole thing. And I was like, well, of course it's Fleetwood math, Like, of course they're going to do something special. But the shot at the end, and like the way Tim you know, got that really nice close up of you, it was really great. It was really really great. It's really well done.
It's also interesting because I feel like Ryan had a really particular voice for Artie musically.
Totally, which totally think.
At the time, I found it frustrating because it was so against like what Kevin would say right, or I'm doing all these acoustic songs and yeah, and I don't think I necessarily really appreciated that having any sort of vision for anything for any of our characters was so special, right, and so them having like this musical dialogue for Artie even he's saying insane shit, I keep cussing.
Sorry, Yeah that makes sense.
Yeah, dancing with myself through me, this through me, and there's more. There's Billy Joel, and there's so many other acoustic versions that I ended up doing that I do find, in hindsight really cool.
Did you find that did you feel pressure doing this song because of Fleetwood and because of the album and like that?
Yes? Oh yeah, I think especially because I didn't know the song, I felt like an idiot. I felt like such a like a fraud where I knew the singles right and hear me probably saying, oh yeah, it's a classic album and didn't actually know what I was talking about. Really, I knew how many records that had sold. I didn't know sure this is the actual songs.
Also, an adulation probably felt the pressure as well, like our music producers probably felt the pressure because you were covering such a coveted album.
And you knew make sure they were going to hear it.
Oh my god, that is terrifying. That's so terrifying. Songbird, Oh oh god, I'm just gonna cry because I'm literally said the word.
That vocal crack. My eyes.
I'm crying. It's it's I think Heather said it was one of her favorite songs that Nya Ever sang, and I I don't remember the songbir because I don't that was like my never went back again song. And then I watched it today and I was like, not, well, yeah, not well, it's really good. It's like really good. Oh man, her voice just crying a lot in this episode.
We're all over the place. I was trying. It started and I was like, oh, I don't think I can engage, and I like picked up.
My phone off yeah yeah yeah, And I was like, I.
Don't think I can do this today, I know. And then it got to I don't you know what, let me find it so I can fully referenced this properly. It got to the vocal crack and I had to put down my phone and I rewound it. I'm like, you know what, I'm like, I gotta I have to do this it deserves it. So if you go look it up on YouTube, it's around fifty three seconds. Okay, but Heather's fully crying. I mean that's Heather. That's like not Brittany.
When I think when Heather says beautiful, I think that I don't think that was written. I think that was just her saying that.
Yeah, when Nya sings that, Nia was like such technically a good singer. And then also when you add in a song that is written this well and it's just piano and raw, it's the most perfect presentation of vocals and songwriting I think possible. And they left I also, you know, sometimes in the rush to record vocals really quickly to record pop sounding songs, that sometimes the songs can be like overly refined, I think vocally right, and there was nothing but Naya's vocal texture in this song.
And that one part I think gets me because of that where it almost sounds like her voice is gonna go out, but it doesn't, and it displays this like crazy amount of emotion that she's portraying. It's so beautiful.
Yeah, it's pretty perfect, gotta say.
And it's there's nothing happening, She's just standing there I.
Know, but the vocals are just like.
But I also love that, you know, so often there's things thrown in there. And sometimes she's not even really necessarily putting on a show. She's not performing it. She's just singing it right, and Brittany's watching it. And that's enough.
It's enough. It's too much, to be honest, it's too much. H Well, I can't talk about a mutch it anymore. Okay, So she wants so Brittany wants Santana to sing in front of her, but she's like, why can't you just be a little bit with it? And Santana is just not ready. So Santana then goes to Jacob and Israel and says, that hurt Krofsky, your soulmates, and it crushes little Britney's heart. And and there we have pretty much rumors. It's a it's a doozy, it's a big episode. A
lot happens, a lot of music. I will say, like if they incorporated all of it really well, and like the rumor mill and the whole thing around, the album is very well done.
Seeing that too, it didn't nothing really felt so shoehorned in right, It really did compliment everybody's stories, and I think it probably brought out some stories that wouldn't have happened otherwise that were really good and needed.
Well, should we use some tarty takes.
Let's do some tarty takes?
All right?
Auchi's Jenna cringe moments.
I mean, all the rumors, but Brittany asking him about pannies was mister true about pannies was just not not for me.
Yeah, I think I Yeah, I think I have to agree. I think that's probably the one for me. Okay, best dance move. There's not a lot to pick from. There's only one dance in this episode.
I guess April and Will's left.
Yeah, that's when I started sweating. It was like, don't get.
Best song. I'm going with never going back.
Ooh brave, I'm going with songbird.
Great best performance by a promp Lord Tummington. Yeah.
Anything that happened in Fondie for two Yeah.
Great, best line when Santana's talking about how they're treating her differently already because of the rumor, and she's they asked me to traffic golf team. The delivery is is gold.
I Also one of my favorites has been se says brought worst gobbler April Room.
You texted me that earlier too.
You're like, I I almost did a spittake. I had to put down my water. I leaned over and was crying in this house alone watching it. It was so I was like, what did you just say? Oh my god, brought worst gobbler. Brittany's that's yeah, Brittany's question also question one, do you think The Aristocrats is an accurate portrayal of a feline relationship? You know, just because we're doing this interview doesn't mean I'm still not mad at you because I know you start smoking again.
Really very funny, MVP. I'm going I'm giving it to Chord.
