[0:00] Andrew: We've got a mission to find the best song that's ever been on Glee.

[0:09] Andrew: There's no rhyme or reason to it, so don't get mad at me.

[0:18] Andrew: Glacket by Glacket, we'll rank everyone to see which song will move closer to spot number one.

[0:26] Andrew: Gleek of the Week, Gleek, Gleek, Gleek of the Week. It's Gleek, Gleek of the Week.

[0:34] Andrew: I just like need everybody to know at the beginning of this episode that I feel absolutely insane. I don't know if I can ever say that I've been on like a this on a bender before, but I feel like I've been on a, like, who, who am I? I've not been on a bender before, but truly the entire trip.

[0:57] Conor: On your I see London, I see Paris trip?

[1:00] Andrew: I see, I see London, I see France trip.

[1:04] Conor: Oh, fuck.

[1:05] Andrew: And, and so I'm, I'm bringing that sort of energy into this recording. And, and someone already asked a question, and I think maybe you've heard this person's voice before, maybe for the entire first round of the Glacket.

[1:24] Conor: Hey.

[1:25] Conor: Hey, it's me.

[1:28] Andrew: How are you doing? We're not even going to say your name. If you know, you know.

[1:33] Conor: It's Conor. It's Conor.

[1:36] Andrew: If you're a real Gleek, you would know.

[1:38] Conor: Yeah, only real Gleeks would get that.

[1:40] Conor: I'm doing great. I'm up at the cabin for Labor Day weekend. We were just out on the boat.

[1:47] Andrew: It was delicious.

[1:50] Conor: The boat?

[1:51] Conor: The boat was delicious. And I'm, I'm, I want to rock right now. I'm eager to be in this room with my, with my Gleeks, my Glee comrades and discuss some Glee.

[2:07] Conor: I just listened to Andrew's Glara's tour episode of And That's What You Really Missed.

[2:14] Conor: And 10 out of 10, 10 out of 11.

[2:17] Andrew: Very emotional.

[2:19] Conor: Emotional.

[2:20] Conor: It was, it was emotional in the sense that it was like, these are just my friends.

[2:27] Conor: Like one is literally my friend, but the other two are my parasocial interactions.

[2:33] Andrew: But wait, who?

[2:35] Conor: She's friends with Jenna.

[2:38] Andrew: No, Jenna's my best friend and Andrew are my parasocial connections.

[2:44] Conor: It was, it was, it was, it was great.

[2:47] Conor: I really, really loved it. And I'm so proud of you, Andrew.

[2:50] Conor: It felt like a culmination of like, like not a finality.

[2:54] Conor: I know that their podcast is moving from Glee to something that we may or may not know yet.

[3:01] Conor: But it did feel like a culmination of yeah, like, yeah.

[3:06] Andrew: Yeah.

[3:06] Andrew: That's a perfect place to end the sentence, actually.

[3:16] Conor: Any of you read the weird shit I'm saying? I'm just blaming it on my Wi-Fi, okay?

[3:29] Andrew: I actually can't talk about that because of Netflix and also my Wi-Fi.

[3:33] Andrew: So everybody just chill out.

[3:36] Conor: Wait, what is the Netflix reference?

[3:39] Andrew: You didn't watch the Love Island reunion because you didn't watch season seven of Love Island USA.

[3:44] Conor: Well, because I didn't watch any of Love Island.

[3:46] Andrew: Yeah.

[3:46] Conor: You've never watched Love Island.

[3:47] Conor: So my problematic queen, Huda, she was asked a pretty direct question from Andy Cohen.

[3:56] Conor: And Andy Cohen was like, are you dating this man? What's your dating life like right now?

[4:00] Conor: And she's like, I actually can't say because of Netflix.

[4:05] Andrew: And Andy Cohen's like, what does Netflix have to do with this?

[4:08] Andrew: We're the biggest streaming show on Peacock.

[4:12] Andrew: Like, what does Netflix have to do with this at all?

[4:16] Conor: That was basically Kevin and Jenna's response when Andrew asked what was next for their podcast.

[4:21] Conor: I actually can't tell you because of Netflix.

[4:23] Andrew: Because of Netflix.

[4:25] Conor: And Netflix is like the NeNe Leaks.

[4:27] Conor: Why am I in it?

[4:29] Conor: Why are you involving me?

[4:31] Conor: So anytime I do anything that might be like cringe or weird, I'm blaming on Netflix.

[4:41] Conor: I actually can't say.

[4:42] Conor: And then also, I feel like that lends itself to a perfect segue to the other person that's joining us.

[4:46] Conor: Because if I'm not mistaken, you have a suitcase that is a reference to Love Island.

[4:54] Allison: Oh, my God, I do.

[4:56] Allison: Which I didn't even know us.

[4:58] Conor: That really took me out.

[5:00] Andrew: Okay, so everyone, this is Conor.

[5:02] Conor: Connor and I have met in person since the last episode.

[5:10] Conor: Which is crazy to me.

[5:12] Andrew: I also, really, really wild.

[5:14] Conor: Which was so crazy.

[5:15] Conor: Like, well, the first thing that I said to Andrew when I saw him in person was, what's up, party people?

[5:22] Conor: But I also met your suitcase that I think is hilarious.

[5:31] Allison: I met your suitcase.

[5:32] Conor: My suitcase, this suitcase that says, I got a text on it.

[5:38] Conor: And it doesn't say anything.

[5:41] Allison: Well, I didn't.

[5:43] Conor: Well, I didn't.

[5:44] Conor: Okay, I'm frozen.

[5:45] Conor: I didn't notice that this was a thing until I was walking through Dublin airport.

[5:49] Conor: And I kind of noticed that there was a lot of people, like, kind of looking rather confusingly down at my text or something.

[5:54] Conor: There was at my suitcase.

[5:58] Conor: And I was like, wait, what is going on?

[6:00] Conor: And I looked down and it was like, you've got a text.

[6:03] Conor: And I was like, what the fuck is that?

[6:05] Conor: Or I've got a text or whatever it was.

[6:07] Andrew: But you didn't know that your suitcase said that?

[6:13] Conor: Are you just, like, loose buying suitcases?

[6:17] Conor: I did.

[6:17] Conor: I did.

[6:18] Conor: To be fair, I did need one really last minute because my previous one had broke.

[6:21] Conor: So I just went down and then I just bought the first one.

[6:24] Allison: That's so funny, I've got a text.

[6:28] Conor: Well, because I didn't know the reference, of course.

[6:31] Conor: So I just thought it was, like, kind of like one of those, like, what are those little, like, Allison, remember the monkey t-shirts that, like, elementary school girls would wear?

[6:40] Conor: That I just, it just, like, says random shit on it.

[6:42] Conor: And I'm like, okay.

[6:44] Conor: Uh, what's her name? The bass girl from Pretty Little Liars.

[6:48] Allison: She has a brand and her suitcases say, text me when you land.

[6:53] Conor: The bass girl?

[6:54] Conor: Who's the bass girl?

[6:56] Allison: Uh, the brand B-E-I-S.

[6:59] Conor: What, what's her name?

[7:00] Conor: Shanae?

[7:02] Conor: Shannon?

[7:03] Conor: Oh.

[7:04] Conor: Somebody listening is yelling it.

[7:06] Allison: Shay Mitchell.

[7:06] Conor: Shay Mitchell.

[7:07] Conor: Famously in season four, episode two of Glee, Britney 2.0.

[7:12] Allison: She was.

[7:13] Allison: This was a revelation that we made after your departure from the podcast.

[7:18] Conor: What?

[7:19] Allison: Shay Mitchell is in Womanizer.

[7:20] Conor: Well, let's set, let's set the scene.

[7:22] Conor: Let's set the scene.

[7:23] Conor: So it's an episode with me, Andrew, and Lena.

[7:25] Conor: We pull Womanizer and then we watch the song and then Andrew's like, any thoughts?

[7:30] Conor: And I was like, oh my god, like, Shay Mitchell and Lena and Andrew were just like, what the fuck are you talking about?

[7:34] Conor: But no, but there's still been no, there's no proof, but has there been any debunking?

[7:43] Allison: No, I think that there is proof.

[7:44] Allison: I think that was Shay Mitchell.

[7:46] Conor: Anyway, I understand.

[7:47] Conor: Okay, before we get any, because I could, that was a, that was a crazy tangent.

[7:51] Conor: We have to really lock in.

[7:52] Conor: Well, this is, well, this is, this is why, you know, round three is perfect for Allison Dodge.

[7:57] Conor: We know that she means business.

[7:59] Conor: 90 minutes straight in, no kissing.

[8:00] Allison: Let's go.

[8:01] Conor: Let's go.

[8:02] Conor: Straight in, no kissing.

[8:03] Andrew: Edit that part out.

[8:07] Conor: Edit that out.

[8:08] Andrew: No.

[8:09] Conor: No, I love that.

[8:11] Conor: Um, wait, so can we, this is so inappropriate to be doing in a recorded fashion, but can we reach a, um, a time limit?

[8:16] Conor: What, what are we kind of like, bartering right now?

[8:22] Andrew: We're going to do 90 minutes.

[8:24] Conor: 15 minutes.

[8:26] Conor: 90 minutes.

[8:29] Conor: I can do 90 minutes.

[8:31] Andrew: Okay.

[8:31] Andrew: We're already eight in and we're only going to watch four songs.

[8:36] Conor: So.

[8:37] Conor: Yeah.

[8:38] Conor: We're great.

[8:40] Conor: I want to hear about Europe.

[8:41] Conor: I want to hear, I want to listen to the Glee songs.

[8:45] Conor: And we should see if we can talk about Europe.

[8:48] Conor: We should, we can see if we can talk about Europe, like in a way that we can like relate it to the songs, Paul.

[8:53] Allison: I feel like it's a fun bunch.

[8:54] Andrew: Oh, that's really interesting because I, I have the four things that like the Europe, uh, bullet points.

[9:03] Andrew: I have Evita, ABBA, Glee Night and Moulin Rouge.

[9:06] Conor: Moulin Rouge was the only thing that Connor, you did not do because that's what Elias did in France.

[9:11] Conor: You went in Paris to the Moulin Rouge?

[9:14] Conor: Should we, should I just, should I say the Moulin Rouge?

[9:17] Conor: Start with, yeah, start with that one.

[9:19] Conor: That was, okay.

[9:21] Conor: The Moulin Rouge, that, not to be like so fucking corny on Maine, the corniest I'll ever be on Maine is right now in this moment.

[9:28] Conor: Corniest?

[9:31] Conor: Corny.

[9:32] Conor: No, no.

[9:33] Conor: Well, it's the Moulin Rouge.

[9:34] Andrew: Are they, do they show tits there? Or?

[9:36] Conor: Yeah.

[9:37] Conor: And all the tits are the same too, which is so like, which didn't make me feel good.

[9:42] Allison: That's kind of, I don't know.

[9:43] Conor: Are they prosthetic?

[9:45] Conor: No, it's not inspirational.

[9:47] Conor: It's like, I'm thinking about the casting that it's like, if you have just like a slightly larger left breast, then you can't be in the Moulin Rouge, you know?

[9:56] Andrew: Wait, so what's corny about it?

[9:58] Conor: Oh, what's corny is that, um, I just felt like I was like in a movie because the night before we went to the Moulin Rouge, we were at a bar and we were talking to this French man and he was like, what are you guys doing tomorrow night?

[10:12] Conor: And we were like, oh, we're actually going to go see the Moulin Rouge.

[10:15] Conor: And he's like, I'm a dancer in the Moulin Rouge.

[10:17] Conor: And that, we were like, what the fuck?

[10:20] Conor: First of all, he was like, send me your ticket information.

[10:23] Conor: Um, and, um, I will set you up.

[10:26] Allison: I know, raised the eyebrow from Allison.

[10:28] Conor: He, I, I, I hid everything else.

[10:33] Conor: I sent him only the ticket information that like he can't do anything with.

[10:37] Conor: Um, and so, uh, sent him the ticket information.

[10:41] Conor: He was like, I'll set you up.

[10:43] Conor: We got there, uh, longest line in the world, first of all, and we were getting scared.

[10:48] Conor: Uh, and then we got in and they led us all the way to the front table because it's table seating.

[10:55] Conor: Um, and we got like a half bottle of champagne already with the ticket.

[11:00] Conor: We're watching the show.

[11:02] Conor: He comes out on stage.

[11:04] Conor: The guy that we met the previous night has one of the dancers and he's just like, he's also the youngest one there.

[11:10] Conor: And he's just like, he's very cute.

[11:11] Conor: And he was just like, he looked at us and like saluted us at one point.

[11:14] Andrew: And I'm like, okay, it's okay.

[11:17] Conor: It's like, he was very, very sweet.

[11:19] Conor: Um, and, and then, uh, the, uh, waiter, uh, came over with an additional bottle of champagne for, sent from, yeah.

[11:29] Conor: Oh, now I'm understanding the bender, the bender.

[11:32] Conor: It's still happening right now.

[11:34] Conor: I feel like it's coming up.

[11:39] Andrew: Um, so we're recording this on Sunday, August 31st.

[11:43] Andrew: I, Elias and I came back late Friday night.

[11:46] Conor: Okay.

[11:47] Andrew: Okay.

[11:48] Andrew: So yesterday was like jet lag day probably.

[11:51] Conor: Yeah.

[11:52] Conor: Yeah.

[11:52] Conor: Um, and so it was, it was, it was very fun.

[11:56] Conor: You would love.

[11:57] Conor: They show tits.

[11:58] Andrew: Are we seeing butt and wiener or?

[12:01] Conor: No, and that's also kind of like, I was the one, I think maybe the best show I've ever seen in my life.

[12:07] Conor: I, it, butt and wiener would have been really great though.

[12:12] Conor: Additionally to the boobs.

[12:13] Andrew: It's your only criticism.

[12:14] Conor: It's your only criticism.

[12:16] Conor: Nobody wants to show hole anymore.

[12:18] Andrew: Are they, are they singing?

[12:21] Conor: Let's keep moving.

[12:24] Andrew: Let's keep going.

[12:25] Andrew: Okay, nevermind.

[12:26] Andrew: So was Ewan McGregor there or nevermind, nevermind, nevermind.

[12:32] Conor: Well, wait, so Allison, you did not see the Moulin Rouge when you went to Paris?

[12:36] Allison: No.

[12:37] Allison: No, I heard that it was a tourist trap.

[12:40] Conor: So I therefore did not go.

[12:41] Allison: Well, you didn't meet a dancer at a bar, did you?

[12:46] Allison: This is what I get for not drinking.

[12:48] Allison: I should have had a fucking bender.

[12:51] Allison: Um, and I could have seen tits, but it's like, it's truly just, there's, I didn't know what to expect.

[12:56] Allison: It's just, it was just like almost like a carnival, like a circus act.

[13:00] Allison: There's no story, you know, they're just doing crazy shit.

[13:04] Allison: There's like a guy carrying like on his two palms, two, one on each hand that are upside down.

[13:12] Conor: As you do.

[13:13] Allison: Oh, that's gotta hurt.

[13:15] Conor: That's gotta hurt like a bike seat.

[13:16] Conor: You know what I mean?

[13:17] Allison: Uh, but that was the Moulin Rouge.

[13:20] Conor: That's so fun.

[13:21] Conor: That was really beautiful.

[13:23] Conor: Thank you.

[13:23] Conor: That was really beautiful.

[13:24] Conor: I really love that.

[13:25] Conor: I'm happy that you had that experience.

[13:27] Conor: Now let's relate it back to Glee with, is Come What May, where is Come What May standing in the Glackett right now?

[13:35] Allison: Both, uh, both, uh, Moulin Rouge songs are dead.

[13:40] Conor: We're looking at Come What May and we're looking at Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.

[13:42] Allison: Wow.

[13:43] Allison: Okay.

[13:43] Allison: I mean, I'm not, that's not bad.

[13:47] Conor: It's, I mean, it's not about Diamonds personally, but.

[13:51] Allison: That is, it's a fun number to look at, but.

[13:56] Conor: Nothing else.

[13:58] Conor: Listening, God, turn it off.

[14:01] Conor: Turn it the fuck off.

[14:03] Conor: No, I've been listening, I've been listening to the remaining songs playlist and sometimes like MP4s, I'm realizing MP4s go crazy because there are certain songs or MP3s, um, that I have just haven't streamed in a while that I'm like, oh, okay.

[14:24] Conor: On MP3, this is definitely not on the remaining songs playlist, but an MP3 that I have been streaming and this is going to catch everybody off guard for a bunch of reasons, but The Rain in Spain.

[14:34] Allison: What?

[14:38] Conor: I was like, surely I'm not going to be caught off guard.

[14:40] Allison: That's crazy.

[14:41] Conor: No, that actually did.

[14:45] Allison: What?

[14:46] Conor: I respect it.

[14:48] Allison: I don't.

[14:48] Conor: I got it stuck in my head the other day.

[14:50] Conor: And I was like, you know what?

[14:53] Conor: I really want to hear that right now.

[14:55] Conor: And I.

[14:56] Allison: And it paid off?

[14:58] Conor: It did.

[15:00] Conor: It served a purpose.

[15:01] Conor: And then I, we were, Joe and I were just talking about My Fair Lady for some reason.

[15:07] Conor: And I was like, I really need to hear that right now.

[15:09] Conor: And it, I'm not going to say anything good about it, but I'm not going to say anything bad about it.

[15:15] Allison: Why?

[15:16] Allison: And why not the latter?

[15:17] Allison: There's so many things to say.

[15:22] Conor: Wait.

[15:23] Conor: It just, it's what I needed in the moment, you know?

[15:26] Allison: Okay.

[15:27] Allison: All right.

[15:27] Allison: I'm glad that you found each other.

[15:30] Conor: That's what my experience with Glee has been since we last discussed on this podcast.

[15:35] Conor: What's Allison's relationship with this show is I'm streaming The Rain in Spain.

[15:40] Allison: And are we saying streaming multiple times or are we just saying streaming that one time and it really had like a very big impact?

[15:49] Conor: No, I would say, I would say three times in a row.

[15:52] Conor: And then I was done.

[15:53] Conor: Wow.

[15:56] Conor: Okay.

[15:57] Conor: I think you're the first person on this earth to ever do that.

[16:01] Conor: Three times in a row.

[16:02] Conor: Three times in a row.

[16:04] Conor: Then I was good.

[16:05] Conor: Then I could move on.

[16:08] Conor: Then it was out of my head.

[16:10] Andrew: Anyway, that's perfect.

[16:11] Andrew: Um, Connor, uh, it's been a little, it's been a little minute since, uh, you've been on the podcast.

[16:16] Andrew: What say you about, um, current Glackett competitions?

[16:22] Conor: Anything?

[16:23] Conor: Okay.

[16:24] Conor: Okay.

[16:25] Conor: So yeah, um, Loser Like Me season five versus Do Up That Thing.

[16:30] Conor: I would have voted for Do Up That Thing.

[16:32] Conor: Just going to say it.

[16:34] Allison: Okay, I would have as well.

[16:36] Conor: And, you know, I think I joined Andrew in this call.

[16:40] Conor: Ain't No Way versus Chasing Pavements.

[16:41] Conor: Probably would have gone for Chasing Pavements too, personally.

[16:44] Andrew: So.

[16:45] Andrew: Where do you stand on that, Allison?

[16:47] Allison: Chasing Pavements versus Ain't No Way.

[16:50] Allison: I mean, there's something about Marley in that hat.

[16:54] Conor: That's true.

[16:56] Allison: That I'm not going to reach for.

[16:59] Conor: It's the hat for me.

[17:00] Conor: I mean, Chasing Pavements, I don't even like associate with Adele for some reason.

[17:07] Conor: It's Marley.

[17:07] Conor: Like it's just in my files, in my files, it's Glee song.

[17:13] Conor: And then it's Adele.

[17:14] Conor: Everything other Adele cover, I'm like Adele first.

[17:20] Conor: But Chasing Pavements, it's good.

[17:23] Conor: That's Marley.

[17:23] Conor: I'm already thinking about the Carousel Edition in my head.

[17:26] Conor: That's Marley at her best.

[17:27] Conor: It's the 19 album cover.

[17:30] Conor: But it's instead of Adele, it's of course Marley.

[17:33] Conor: It's Marley.

[17:34] Conor: In the fucking hat.

[17:35] Conor: That's going to be Carousel Edition number five.

[17:37] Conor: Go ahead.

[17:38] Conor: Like, I just need to say my piece.

[17:40] Conor: Do Wop That Thing is really top 30 most streamed Glee songs for me.

[17:47] Conor: I love her.

[17:49] Conor: And she is suffering from season five anitis.

[17:53] Conor: She just gets forgot about.

[17:56] Conor: And that's such a shame to me and my people personally.

[18:00] Conor: So RIP to her.

[18:02] Conor: I do like Loser Like Me season five.

[18:05] Conor: I do like a slow down moment.

[18:07] Conor: I could have done without her, but that's just me.

[18:10] Conor: I think she's really gorgeous.

[18:11] Conor: And people are really, oh, also recently, Allison, people have been really talking about Loser Like Me season two a lot.

[18:19] Conor: And of course, thanks to Elijah's brilliant voting document, we can look back to episode 10 of this very podcast and see that you were the only person that voted for Loser Like Me season two version, which lost to B.O.K.

[18:37] Allison: See, the thing about Allison Dodge is that she was ahead of her time.

[18:42] Conor: That's the thing about Allison Dodge.

[18:44] Conor: And that's like a really big, I have to live with that now.

[18:46] Allison: You really were ahead of the curve.

[18:48] Conor: That's crazy.

[18:49] Conor: Genuinely, I don't know what B.O.K. is.

[18:52] Conor: Can you sing a few lines?

[18:54] Allison: I'm wide awake.

[18:59] Conor: So what's the point of me?

[19:01] Allison: Wait, that's a crazy place.

[19:03] Conor: I stand by that.

[19:04] Conor: What the fuck?

[19:06] Conor: No, Allison, literally, last time you were on this podcast with Maggie, you sang B.O.K.

[19:13] Conor: And it was part of the character.

[19:15] Allison: Yeah, okay, why can't I because I'm only thinking of the other B.O.K.

[19:30] Conor: Can't complain about these days.

[19:36] Conor: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[19:38] Conor: Connor, the place that you started to B.O.K. was a really crazy place to start.

[19:42] Conor: Well, I started, I started off the start.

[19:48] Conor: A good place to start.

[19:50] Conor: That's so fun.

[19:51] Conor: Okay, can I just say, there was an experience with the Heiress Tour where people would and I thought about this during your Heiress Tour episode.

[20:01] Conor: There was an experience with Heiress Tour where it was an event for some people that was so happy, so exciting, so overstimulating that they immediately forgot about it.

[20:13] Conor: They like can't remember being at the Heiress Tour.

[20:17] Conor: That's how much emotion like their brain is blotted out.

[20:20] Conor: That is how I feel with this podcast sometimes is I just have such a great time.

[20:25] Conor: So much emotion.

[20:27] Conor: I have so much fun and so much emotion that I don't know what's actually going on.

[20:32] Andrew: Every episode of you're Taylor Swift performing for an arena.

[20:38] Conor: I'm performing for a U.S. Bank Stadium full because when you were on and that's what I really miss.

[20:42] Conor: That's how I felt about your Heiress Tour setup.

[20:44] Conor: I was like, I would, I would have such a good time that I would immediately, my brain would control alt delete.

[20:51] Andrew: Exactly.

[20:52] Andrew: It's like, well, that was money spent.

[20:55] Andrew: But where did the memories go?

[21:00] Conor: I can't remember anything.

[21:04] Andrew: Do you have anything to say about Galactic Grievances since your last appearance, Allison?

[21:12] Allison: Not particularly.

[21:13] Allison: I mean, I feel like a lot of people have just been on the same page as of recent.

[21:26] Allison: I can't remember now.

[21:28] Allison: But when I have like a grievance, it's always the time when like my, and I want to vote in the polls.

[21:35] Allison: I'm like, okay, I'm going to be voting in the polls.

[21:37] Allison: And I want to see the general public wants my civic duty.

[21:41] Allison: It's always when Instagram doesn't let me vote.

[21:45] Allison: That's always when I feel the most passionate is when Instagram just taps.

[21:50] Allison: I go to vote, taps to the next door.

[21:52] Allison: And I always get so sad when I get an Instagram DM from someone that has that issue that they're like, I really want to have my voice heard here.

[21:58] Allison: And Instagram is kind of denying me of that.

[22:02] Allison: And it makes me sick.

[22:07] Conor: How much do you have left in this round?

[22:10] Allison: That's a really great question.

[22:11] Allison: I guess you only just started.

[22:14] Conor: Started in March.

[22:15] Conor: Or am I blacking out again?

[22:16] Allison: You're blacking out again.

[22:19] Conor: You can blame that on Netflix, actually.

[22:22] Conor: Wait, how many?

[22:24] Conor: Let me see because I wrote down.

[22:28] Conor: How many songs do we have in round four so far?

[22:31] Allison: Because there's going to be 100 in round four.

[22:35] Conor: Currently, we have at this very moment, we have 41.

[22:43] Allison: Oh, oh, oh, God.

[22:45] Conor: Okay.

[22:46] Conor: Yeah.

[22:46] Conor: So we're nearing halfway.

[22:47] Allison: Okay.

[22:48] Conor: Yeah.

[22:49] Conor: I'm used to the rounds that took two and a half years to complete.

[22:53] Conor: That we were like, I remember like, I guess like it was going into 2022 that I was like, wow, we'll finally or 2023 that it was like, we'll finally finish the first round this year.

[23:08] Allison: Wow.

[23:08] Conor: That's so crazy.

[23:11] Conor: Okay.

[23:11] Conor: So is there anything else that we need to talk about before we pull song number one?

[23:20] Allison: I'm going to say the resounding no.

[23:23] Conor: I don't think so.

[23:25] Conor: I think we've actually covered the basics.

[23:27] Conor: I'm ready to get this fucking show on the goddamn road.

[23:30] Andrew: I'm excited.

[23:32] Andrew: Um, oh, God.

[23:35] Andrew: Well, this is like, kind of, I don't even know.

[23:39] Andrew: Well, I just don't even know what to say about this.

[23:43] Andrew: Jesus.

[23:44] Andrew: Season two song.

[23:49] Andrew: We remember that one.

[23:50] Conor: Okay.

[23:51] Conor: Okay.

[23:52] Conor: I watched that one.

[23:53] Andrew: Emily, put down that rock.

[23:54] Conor: Emily, put it down.

[23:56] Andrew: Emily, put it down.

[23:58] Conor: She doesn't got to.

[24:00] Conor: Smile and wave.

[24:01] Conor: I'm just enjoying it.

[24:03] Conor: I'm just enjoying being here.

[24:05] Conor: Just having a good time.

[24:07] Conor: I have, I have the mp4 file, everyone.

[24:11] Conor: Calm down.

[24:12] Andrew: Okay.

[24:14] Andrew: Okay.

[24:14] Andrew: And you're going to know what it is.

[24:16] Conor: We know what the hell this is.

[24:18] Conor: Boiba, that's my baby.

[24:19] Andrew: It's your baby boy.

[24:20] Conor: That's my baby.

[24:22] Conor: He's iconic.

[24:23] Conor: And what's his name?

[24:25] Conor: Big blue suit.

[24:28] Conor: He is in it.

[24:29] Conor: Um.

[24:30] Conor: Do you like that?

[24:31] Conor: Oh, that's Darren Criss.

[24:32] Andrew: It's Darren Criss.

[24:34] Conor: It's the audio medium, of course.

[24:35] Conor: We're looking at Darren Criss.

[24:36] Andrew: Oh.

[24:37] Conor: This song is.

[24:38] Conor: It's, I don't know.

[24:39] Conor: Right, right.

[24:40] Conor: Turn off the lights.

[24:41] Conor: We're going to lose our minds tonight.

[24:43] Conor: What's the dealio?

[24:47] Conor: I had low key disassociated.

[24:50] Conor: I, I.

[24:52] Andrew: Netflix.

[24:56] Conor: Sorry.

[24:58] Conor: I can't.

[25:00] Conor: I said.

[25:01] Conor: Connor, do you want to take it?

[25:03] Conor: I said what I said.

[25:05] Conor: Well, unfortunately, I was in this episode when it was pulled in round two with.

[25:11] Conor: You were.

[25:11] Conor: Mr. Andrew McGuire and Mr. Ian Allred.

[25:14] Conor: That's correct.

[25:15] Conor: I was trying to pull up the Grackett voting history.

[25:18] Conor: I obviously voted this through.

[25:19] Andrew: What was it against, though?

[25:20] Conor: Because it's not loading for me.

[25:21] Conor: OK, so here's the here's the hilarious thing.

[25:24] Conor: I don't think that you did.

[25:25] Conor: I don't think actually any of us voted for this.

[25:27] Conor: People voted for this song to come back because it was.

[25:31] Conor: Disgusting.

[25:33] Conor: Yes.

[25:33] Conor: OK, so here's the thing.

[25:34] Conor: Yes, you're absolutely correct.

[25:36] Conor: It's in the episode Dirty Little Gleeks with Connor and Ian.

[25:40] Conor: And it was Raise Your Glass versus Trouty Mouth.

[25:43] Conor: And we all voted for Trouty Mouth.

[25:46] Conor: And famously, I knew it.

[25:49] Conor: And then and then everyone was like, actually, they made the wrong decision.

[25:53] Conor: Let's have it back in.

[25:54] Conor: And I'm going to.

[25:56] Conor: That made me that really I remember, like, finding out that this is so mean to say to you, the beautiful girls reading this.

[26:03] Conor: When I found out that you voted for Raise Your Glass season two to come back, it's like, who are you?

[26:09] Allison: I'm like, what were the other options?

[26:11] Conor: Can you remember any of the.

[26:12] Conor: Yeah, what were the other options?

[26:13] Conor: OK, that was like that was over a year ago.

[26:16] Conor: I have no idea.

[26:17] Conor: I can try looking up if anybody wants to continue speaking while I'm looking it up.

[26:22] Conor: But yeah.

[26:26] Conor: I I like it.

[26:31] Conor: I had fun.

[26:33] Conor: I had fun during that MP4.

[26:35] Conor: I mean, there's so many things that I'm just like watching it, remembering what I've previously said on this podcast about this performance.

[26:43] Conor: And I'm trying not to say the same exact things, but they do ring true in God's year of 2025.

[26:51] Conor: But it was fun.

[26:52] Conor: I think that I've made peace with the millennials just in general.

[26:58] Conor: I've like just had to make peace with them and sometimes how they act.

[27:02] Conor: And I think this song and this performance are a perfect example of a millennial.

[27:07] Conor: Um, what's the most millennial thing about you other being on a podcast?

[27:14] Conor: The most millennial thing about me is that I have called something a doggo or a pupper.

[27:20] Conor: And on the regular, I say, don't talk to me until I've had my coffee.

[27:26] Conor: Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee.

[27:28] Conor: Um, but Pink as an artist is very millennial coded as well.

[27:34] Conor: Like her doing flips.

[27:37] Conor: There's something, there's something millennial about that.

[27:40] Conor: And then Darren doing this little arm thing.

[27:44] Conor: Yeah.

[27:44] Conor: Dirty little freaks.

[27:46] Conor: There's something millennial about that as well.

[27:49] Conor: And you know what?

[27:50] Conor: I've made peace with that.

[27:51] Conor: If you had asked me two years ago, I would have said death.

[27:55] Conor: Death.

[27:55] Conor: But yeah, to all of them.

[27:57] Conor: To all of them.

[27:58] Conor: Of course.

[27:58] Conor: Um, but now I'm saying it's okay to be cringes to be free.

[28:03] Conor: And I love to see Darren's freak flag fly.

[28:08] Conor: I was thinking the other day about how he called himself culturally queer.

[28:13] Conor: Queer.

[28:15] Conor: So, which is so fucking iconic to me personally.

[28:19] Conor: I just love that.

[28:21] Conor: It's my favorite thing.

[28:22] Conor: It's something that would have been on a t-shirt in 2013.

[28:25] Conor: And culturally queer.

[28:29] Conor: Culturally queer.

[28:30] Conor: And I've been thinking about him.

[28:32] Conor: I've been thinking about him a lot these days.

[28:35] Conor: I've been thinking about you.

[28:35] Conor: I believe he'll be okay.

[28:38] Conor: Oh, oh, oh.

[28:41] Conor: That was a perfect amount of time for me to find, scroll back all the way in the Patreon and find exactly what songs, uh, Raise Your Glass be.

[28:51] Conor: Um, so Raise Your Glass.

[28:56] Conor: Oh, this is a lot of different, like there's a, this is a, how many songs are?

[29:01] Conor: It's a sampler platter.

[29:02] Conor: Yeah, it's a sampler.

[29:03] Conor: Give us, yeah, give us a sample.

[29:04] Conor: Okay.

[29:05] Conor: I'm just gonna, do you want the full 21 songs here?

[29:09] Conor: That.

[29:09] Conor: No.

[29:12] Conor: No.

[29:13] Conor: Um, I'm just gonna see the ones that have at least like five percent.

[29:19] Conor: Okay.

[29:19] Conor: So, um, Stop The Name Of Love For Your Mind.

[29:22] Conor: Um, How To Be A Heartbreaker came second to, uh, Raise Your Glass.

[29:29] Conor: Um, uh, somebody.

[29:30] Conor: How To Be A Heartbreaker.

[29:32] Conor: Yeah.

[29:32] Conor: Somebody That I Used To Know had nine.

[29:35] Conor: Um, oh, Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend had six.

[29:40] Conor: Um, and then If I Can't Have You had 15.

[29:46] Conor: And I'm like, if I can't have you.

[29:48] Conor: Right.

[29:49] Conor: I don't want nobody, baby.

[29:51] Conor: Okay, I probably would have voted for any of them over this, personally.

[29:55] Conor: Yeah.

[29:56] Conor: Maybe not How To Be A Heartbreaker, but.

[30:00] Andrew McGuire: If I can't have you, I think I would have voted for over this. But that doesn't mean that the people who voted for this were wrong. And I know I need to be I need to stop. We see you and we hear you. And you know what, you made a choice. And here are the repercussions to that choice. You're gonna you're probably gonna see her die now. This time, you brought her back. And we're gonna die a more painful death. Welcome back to the slaughterhouse. So glad you could join us. Die, bitch, die. More worse, because you got her back again. And it wasn't as good. Your wounds are open. You're slowly getting sepsis and decaying in front of us. It's disgusting. I'm crying. Oh my god. I was like, yeah, what are we gonna talk about with Erasure Glass season two and I think we found it.

Sepsis. Speaking of millennial core though, I'm so sorry. Too cool for school. Too cool for cool. The way that that way the way that that too school for cool. You're too cool for cool. The way that I thought that they ate that up when that song came out. I remember the first time I remember the first time I heard that lyric pink version. And I was like, oh my god, she ate me up with that one. Oh, yeah. Too cool for cool. Too school for cool. That's me. Like I was on a t-shirt. I know a millennial that would want one.

[31:44] Conor Burke: Yeah. Um, I want the t-shirt that's like from iCarly that just says banana toast.

[31:53] Allison Dodge: Oh my god. Speaking of culturally queer. It's all Cynthia Erivo. Cynthia Erivo. It's all linked up. It's all linked up. Yeah, touching around to touch your head. It's Miranda Cosgrove is so millennial coded. I would love this performance. Probably fuck. Probably fuck. Probably fuck. Um, what else do we do we have anything else to say about Erasure Glass? I feel so bad for the people that love this song. I'm talking about Miranda Cosgrove. Does anyone have anything to say about Erasure Glass? So actually, let's lock back in. Um, the people that voted for this know what they did. They know who they are. And they know what they did. And you're gonna reap the consequences. I'm so sorry. No way. Say something nice about this.

Say something nice about this song challenge. It was a moment. It was it was. Yeah, it really was. It was like 2000. It's like 2011. But like kind of like in a in a way that hasn't aged well with my spirit. You know? Yeah, it's millennial core, which could be a good thing could be a bad thing. You know, I think in 20 years, my grandkids wait, my children will be like, you know, you're great. You were right the first time. My grandbabies. My grandma, what was what were the millennials like? And I'll show them this video. Yeah, no question. Okay, another YouTube hit another YouTube hit for the books. Swifty Gleek Smiler posting this on YouTube. Yeah, it's gonna hit. Exactly. She's gonna be like, wow, somebody's streaming Erasure Glass right now.

Someone's getting educated. Um, okay. How are Warbler's songs faring? Um, Alison, in our first episode of round three with Jenny, Bills, Bills, Bills was the first loser of round three to maybe? No, it was like, I forget what it was. Total Eclipse of the Heart. Um, Bills, Bills, Bills. Um, oh, Somewhere Only We Know is in round four. We got that. I think that's the only one. Okay.

[34:05] Andrew McGuire: Yeah. Do we how many? How many Warbler songs do we want in round four? I mean, that's different than Blolos. Yeah. Because we want like, probably like we probably want like five or six Blolos total. And how many of them are Warbler? Maybe one, maybe one, one or two, depending on the Warbler era. Okay. Yes. All right. Let's see what we got next.

[34:31] Conor Burke: All right. You forced my hand. Where do we go from here, guys? Oh, Razorglass, you might be spared. Oh, we might have found a cure for your sepsis. We might have just found the cure, depending on how this conversation goes. We might have found a specific strain of penicillin that can make you okay.

[35:02] Allison Dodge: Get their hopes up just to kill me. Yeah, just to murder them again.

[35:06] Andrew McGuire: Yeah. Um, no, this is a really interesting competition, because I actually don't know what you both feel about this song.

[35:12] Conor Burke: Oh, okay. Audio medium, we're looking at the Glee Club on the auditorium stage. Do we have any concept? Is it superstitious?

[35:21] Allison Dodge: It's superstition. Yeah. Oh, wow. Here we go. Superstition, excuse me. Okay. All right. Okay. Oh, okay. Okay.

[35:29] Conor Burke: Wait. Okay. Okay. Alison. You look really cute and alive. What happened?

[35:37] Allison Dodge: I'm just, I'm really thinking about this competition. This is crazy.

[35:44] Conor Burke: She just popped a Wade Bryony, guys. She just popped Wade Bryony.

[35:47] Allison Dodge: It's all hitting at once. I took seven edibles. Um, this is so good.

[35:57] Conor Burke: Um, this is so good. I mean, we've got, we've got Mercedes. Good. I fully anticipated Mercedes to be like, Marley, don't be stingy with those runs. And then I expected Marley to not open her mouth at all. But then she did. She did. Then she didn't. She proved me wrong. And it was fun. Um, Marley, um, doing her thing. It's sees it's that Glee Club group, which I think is an interesting dynamic. Um, with Mercedes and Kurt in the mix. That's pretty much it for my thoughts.

[36:38] Andrew McGuire: Wow. Blaney boy showed up toward the end. Towards the end. And he's, I think he's wearing the outfit that he wore in like the promo shot. He surely was gray swipe striped, uh, cardigan. It's not my favorite look. Um, yep. And I'm an outfit. Remember, um, and, uh, yeah, it's fun. We're in a round. We're singing at each other, which I think is a little bit more fun than in the choir room, to be honest. We're all just jazzing up and like moving around. I think it's fun to look in the background and see Ryder moving really awkwardly. Um, Kurt moving really awkwardly. Um, yeah, it's fun. I don't, is it better than razor glass? I have to reflect. So we have, we, we, we're going to give it some time before we cast.

[37:32] Conor Burke: I got it. I got to do on this. See, I love this personally. Um, now I do want to start off by saying Melissa eats this up. She sounds amazing. Everyone stop what you're doing. Stream MP3 superstition, Melissa and Amber in particular, they're eating this up. Fucking amazing. I will say Melissa's freelance dancing is so iconic to me personally. If you look really closely, there are some moves there that I'm like, I'm genuinely not exaggerating. One Conor Burke could do a better job. Like there is this one particular move where she's like, okay, audio medium. No one will see that. She's literally like this. Wait. She's literally like this.

[38:18] Andrew McGuire: Yeah. How would you describe that?

[38:22] Conor Burke: Doing a crunch.

[38:26] Andrew McGuire: Oh, a crunch in the air.

[38:30] Conor Burke: Yeah. Left elbow to right knee standing. Well, like it's like, it's almost like a Mario run.

[38:33] Andrew McGuire: Yeah, it is. And actually segue, segue, segue, segue. This is my segue into the Western production of Evita. Let me tell you why, Andrew.

[38:46] Conor Burke: I was thinking that this would be the segue to Glee, uh, the Glee night, the drag with, with Mercedes, of course. But Evita, let's do Evita first.

[38:56] Andrew McGuire: Okay. Some of the choreography. I love Evita. Spoiler. I love Evita.

[39:01] Conor Burke: Spoiler.

[39:02] Andrew McGuire: Some of the choreography in that production was kind of goofy and not, that's not a criticism. It was just kind of goofy and they got away with it. Why? Because they're all hot. There's one move where they're literally, they're literally sitting here like this. Okay. They're sitting down. Okay. And they've got their hands on their knees and the choreography is literally this.

[39:31] Conor Burke: Audio medium.

[39:31] Andrew McGuire: When I do that, when I do that, I look ridiculous because they're conventionally attractive. They get away with it and it's disgusting. So that's my little segue into Evita. Thank you.

[39:42] Conor Burke: And I will, I will extend on that, that like, yes, Evita was, it was, it was great. And everybody was very, very hot. To your point, um, the, the male lead, I'm blanking on the character's name right now, male lead.

[39:56] Andrew McGuire: Che.

[39:57] Conor Burke: Che. Um, he, uh, is, spoiler alert, laying on the, on the end, uh, on the edge of the stage, uh, for maybe the last 30 minutes of the show, uh, on his stomach. Ass just completely like, what is the Shakira lyric? You're confusing my breasts with mountains.

[40:18] Andrew McGuire: For mountains?

[40:19] Conor Burke: That like, it was just like, I was, I was looking at his.

[40:23] Andrew McGuire: Is his booty cheeks out?

[40:24] Conor Burke: No, it was just like, it was just sitting so up that I was like, oh my God, you're looking at Rachel Zegler and then you're looking down and you're like, these mountains. So guys, that's Andrew McGuire and Conor Brick's insight into the Western production of Evita. Thank you so much.

[40:41] Allison Dodge: That's beautiful.

[40:43] Conor Burke: That's really beautiful.

[40:46] Andrew McGuire: Don't confuse them with mountains y'all. It's just.

[40:49] Conor Burke: No, it's just a butt.

[40:51] Andrew McGuire: Well, when, when Rachel appeared at the beginning of act two for the iconic Don't Cry for Miriam, we knew it was coming. The three of us, like, it was still.

[41:01] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[41:01] Andrew McGuire: Like we were, it was like, I can't even, it was unbelievable. Like we were literally.

[41:08] Conor Burke: It was.

[41:10] Andrew McGuire: Did you go to two nights and like, go stand outside for one of them?

[41:13] Conor Burke: We, Conor, Elias and I saw it in, in the.

[41:17] Andrew McGuire: On Friday.

[41:18] Conor Burke: Yeah. And then Elias and I went back the next day.

[41:21] Andrew McGuire: We had tickets.

[41:22] Conor Burke: We had tickets. We were in there. Yeah.

[41:25] Andrew McGuire: We broke in.

[41:26] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[41:29] Andrew McGuire: Yeah. But then Elias and I went to go see, I was just like really blown away by the sheer amount of people, because like every time that like a video would come up on my TikTok before seeing this production, or like any of the Don't Cry for Me Argentina videos, I would just swipe away because I didn't want to see anything. The sheer amount of people when we did see it, like within the theatre for the first time, of course, like that you see looking up at Rachel Zegler, hundreds, like, I just like could not believe the amount of people that were like, that showed up. And it just like, obviously like played toward the portrayal, of course, of like Eva Peron, that it's like she can like, like she's speaking to the people of Argentina. And it's just like, we're kind of like playing character, the people on the outside are playing characters. I just thought it was so, oh my god, chills.

[42:22] Allison Dodge: That's so fun.

[42:22] Conor Burke: Crying. Yeah. Both times I cried. Yeah.

[42:27] Andrew McGuire: Oh my god, that's beautiful.

[42:29] Conor Burke: So maybe Melissa is going to be in the Broadway transfer of that show, because she's also very hot, and she can get away with doing some goofy choreography.

[42:36] Allison Dodge: That's a perfect segue.

[42:37] Conor Burke: That would be fun.

[42:38] Andrew McGuire: Full, full circle.

[42:40] Conor Burke: Perfect.

[42:41] Andrew McGuire: Yeah, they got to bring that to New York now.

[42:43] Conor Burke: I would be really scared of like how they would kind of, because they're doing it on, what would you even call that type of street, Connor? That it's like, it's not like, there's not like car traffic.

[42:55] Conor Burke: Yeah, it's a pedestrianised street.

[42:57] Andrew McGuire: Like a boulevard?

[42:58] Conor Burke: Yeah, the front of the front of the London Palladium is completely pedestrianised, and it's quite narrow as well.

[43:05] Andrew McGuire: But Sunset Boulevard, doesn't he like cross the street as well?

[43:08] Conor Burke: Yeah, but I think the difference between Sunset Boulevard and Evita, those two different productions and how they use outside, is that like, you are like watching, like you are intended to watch Evita, but like Sunset Boulevard, it's like, he's Sunset Boulevard, and they're like, there's so many personnel block, I don't know exactly all the schematics, but it's like, it doesn't lend itself to watching, like a girl on a balcony, you know?

[43:39] Andrew McGuire: Sure.

[43:40] Conor Burke: I know, can they block off a part of 43rd or whatever?

[43:46] Andrew McGuire: The only thing that I'm thinking, and I know that like, diehard theatre fans are like screaming right now and being like, whatever. But like, can you do like Schubert Alley? Like, can you do that, you know?

[43:59] Allison Dodge: I don't know. I know that, whatever. I think that they're talking about like, yeah.

[44:04] Conor Burke: Like right under the Gershwin. Like that little area, you know what I mean?

[44:10] Andrew McGuire: You're talking front of...

[44:11] Conor Burke: Well, Justin Time's in that right in there right now, Circle in the Square.

[44:15] Andrew McGuire: Circle in the Square, yeah.

[44:16] Conor Burke: Yeah, Circle in the Square and the Gershwin.

[44:19] Andrew McGuire: I don't know. I'm excited to see, I'm nothing of... Apparently, there's drama between Jamie Lloyd and Andrew Lloyd Webber at the moment as well.

[44:27] Conor Burke: I thought you were going to say Andrew Maguire.

[44:28] Andrew McGuire: Which I was just, and Andrew Maguire, famously, inserting himself into the...

[44:33] Conor Burke: But apparently, there's some production issues and there may be a slight delay. But we could potentially be looking at a Rachel versus Leah Tony nomination.

[44:44] Allison Dodge: Oh, which is...

[44:45] Conor Burke: That would be crazy.

[44:47] Andrew McGuire: So fucking iconic to me.

[44:48] Conor Burke: Oh, fun, fun, fun, fun.

[44:52] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[44:53] Conor Burke: I know a gay guy with two thumbs that would be really excited about that.

[45:02] Andrew McGuire: Oh, that's good.

[45:03] Conor Burke: Audio medium.

[45:04] Andrew McGuire: Me, bitch.

[45:05] Conor Burke: Me, bitch.

[45:06] Andrew McGuire: I feel insane.

[45:09] Conor Burke: Okay, so...

[45:12] Allison Dodge: Is it illegal to say that I know what I'm voting for?

[45:14] Andrew McGuire: Oh God, we have to vote. I forgot.

[45:17] Conor Burke: Yeah, it's illegal to say that.

[45:19] Andrew McGuire: I think Connor is voting for Superstition.

[45:23] Conor Burke: Correct. I mean, are we voting now?

[45:25] Andrew McGuire: No.

[45:26] Conor Burke: Yeah, let's do it.

[45:27] Andrew McGuire: Yeah, let's just lock in.

[45:29] Conor Burke: Just do it.

[45:30] Andrew McGuire: I'm voting for Superstition.

[45:32] Conor Burke: Andrew, what are you doing?

[45:36] Andrew McGuire: I know what song I like better. I don't want to... And I think that you know what song I like better, too. And I want you to vote for that.

[45:45] Conor Burke: Wait, I want you to vote...

[45:47] Allison Dodge: Wait, what are you...

[45:47] Conor Burke: No, I want you to vote right now.

[45:49] Andrew McGuire: No, but I feel like...

[45:51] Conor Burke: Wait, whose vote is going to surprise me more?

[45:54] Andrew McGuire: No, Andrew, you should vote next, perhaps.

[45:56] Conor Burke: You should vote next, yeah.

[45:58] Andrew McGuire: And then I'll give the pity vote.

[46:00] Conor Burke: I just...

[46:03] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[46:04] Conor Burke: Because I have to, because I'm a warbler stan.

[46:06] Andrew McGuire: Because I'm the blame person.

[46:07] Conor Burke: Yeah, you're, yeah.

[46:08] Andrew McGuire: So vote for Superstition.

[46:10] Conor Burke: Cast your vote.

[46:12] Andrew McGuire: Vote, vote. I know I'm going to be out.

[46:14] Conor Burke: All right, now it's your turn.

[46:16] Andrew McGuire: It says in the script, Andrew says Superstition.

[46:19] Conor Burke: Superstition.

[46:20] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[46:20] Conor Burke: I say I'm going to pity vote for Razorglass because I have to, because Darren Criss.

[46:26] Andrew McGuire: Darren Criss also was in Superstition. Does that mean nothing to you?

[46:29] Conor Burke: That means nothing to me.

[46:32] Andrew McGuire: That actually...

[46:33] Conor Burke: He was the lead in the other one.

[46:35] Andrew McGuire: So it's a little bit more Darren-coded.

[46:37] Conor Burke: Okay, okay.

[46:38] Andrew McGuire: Percentage-wise, I get that.

[46:40] Conor Burke: People are going to be really mad about this.

[46:41] Andrew McGuire: And people are going to be pointing to this.

[46:42] Conor Burke: Are people going to vote back for Razorglass again?

[46:44] Andrew McGuire: I told you, I told you.

[46:45] Conor Burke: She's going to die.

[46:46] Andrew McGuire: I told you.

[46:46] Conor Burke: This better not become the new bit.

[46:47] Andrew McGuire: Just constantly voting back in Razorglass just to get on her tits.

[46:51] Conor Burke: That would be really, really...

[46:52] Andrew McGuire: Just to get on her tits.

[46:53] Conor Burke: Because I will step on her every time, even though I voted for her.

[46:58] Andrew McGuire: I will step on her every time, like a little bug.

[47:00] Conor Burke: Like a big cockroach that pops when you step on it.

[47:04] Allison Dodge: Alison's just like, welcome back, bitch.

[47:07] Andrew McGuire: Die.

[47:08] Conor Burke: I do like that we kind of like, we're like, oh, like, we might have actually found a cure. Nope.

[47:14] Andrew McGuire: No, we didn't.

[47:15] Conor Burke: Sorry.

[47:17] Andrew McGuire: And it like goes to their family and they're like, I might actually survive. Well, guess what? You didn't.

[47:24] Conor Burke: No.

[47:25] Andrew McGuire: There's probably weight in there.

[47:30] Conor Burke: Am I building it out in a really disgusting and deranged way? Probably.

[47:35] Andrew McGuire: That was like a Grey's Anatomy episode.

[47:39] Conor Burke: They've done worse.

[47:40] Allison Dodge: Let's see Heather Pierce was on.

[47:43] Conor Burke: Did she die in Grey's Anatomy?

[47:45] Andrew McGuire: Do you remember this?

[47:45] Conor Burke: Was she on an episode?

[47:46] Andrew McGuire: That's so iconic.

[47:47] Conor Burke: I didn't even know she was on it because I famously don't follow Grey's Anatomy.

[47:51] Andrew McGuire: And I think Demi Lovato was also in it.

[47:53] Conor Burke: Oh my god.

[47:55] Andrew McGuire: Demi?

[47:56] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[47:57] Andrew McGuire: Oh, that's fun.

[47:58] Conor Burke: No, I can't watch that show. My health anxiety goes kooky.

[48:04] Andrew McGuire: Shout out to Demi doing the Wicked riff recently on TikTok.

[48:09] Conor Burke: Oh, crazy.

[48:12] Andrew McGuire: I love Demi so much.

[48:12] Conor Burke: It's very much giving.

[48:14] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[48:15] Conor Burke: I love Demi too.

[48:16] Andrew McGuire: Demi's so, oh, such a mess.

[48:19] Conor Burke: She's so fun.

[48:20] Andrew McGuire: Such a mess.

[48:20] Conor Burke: She's silly girl.

[48:22] Andrew McGuire: Really quickly, around the room, favorite Demi Lovato meme.

[48:27] Conor Burke: Hey, Fatty.

[48:29] Allison Dodge: Fuck, you took mine.

[48:32] Conor Burke: Hey, Fatty.

[48:33] Andrew McGuire: I'm gonna go Camp Rock.

[48:36] Conor Burke: That's good.

[48:37] Andrew McGuire: Camp Rock.

[48:38] Conor Burke: I gotta go with Pooh.

[48:41] Allison Dodge: Pooh is a classic.

[48:43] Conor Burke: Yeah, Pooh is good.

[48:44] Andrew McGuire: Do you know what's my favorite Demi adjacent meme? It's those two girls being interviewed on TikTok.

[48:50] Conor Burke: I want you to think of Demi Lovato.

[48:51] Andrew McGuire: She's okay for her age.

[48:52] Conor Burke: She's okay for her age.

[48:57] Andrew McGuire: Oh, that's good.

[48:57] Conor Burke: I was waiting to say that when we talk about a Demi Lovato song.

[49:01] Andrew McGuire: For her age.

[49:02] Conor Burke: And I'm like, oh, I need to log that.

[49:06] Andrew McGuire: Okay, one last competition.

[49:08] Conor Burke: Let's get into it.

[49:09] Andrew McGuire: Yeah, let's, let's get into it.

[49:10] Conor Burke: Oh, oh, mummy.

[49:13] Andrew McGuire: We got one of the, one of the, one of the major girls.

[49:16] Conor Burke: Oh, fuck.

[49:17] Andrew McGuire: Oh, fuck.

[49:17] Conor Burke: Oh, fuck.

[49:18] Andrew McGuire: Oh, fuck.

[49:19] Conor Burke: Oh, fuck.

[49:22] Andrew McGuire: We know exactly who you're looking at right now.

[49:24] Conor Burke: Oh, fuck.

[49:26] Andrew McGuire: What do you, what is this?

[49:28] Conor Burke: What is this?

[49:30] Andrew McGuire: It's season one.

[49:32] Conor Burke: Because we've got Matt in the audience.

[49:34] Andrew McGuire: He's just another football player.

[49:36] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[49:38] Andrew McGuire: And Amber is standing in front.

[49:40] Conor Burke: So I'm going to say, I'm telling you.

[49:42] Andrew McGuire: Come on girl, you know.

[49:44] Conor Burke: That's right.

[49:46] Andrew McGuire: Can you just sing the entire song, please?

[49:48] Conor Burke: You're the best man I've ever known.

[49:50] Andrew McGuire: Spotify can't take this down.

[49:52] Conor Burke: There's no way I can ever go.

[49:54] Andrew McGuire: No, no, there's no way.

[49:56] Conor Burke: No, no, no, no way.

[49:58] Andrew McGuire: I'm living without you.

[50:00] Conor Burke: I'm not, okay.

[50:02] Andrew McGuire: I'm done.

[50:04] Conor Burke: Oh, no.

[50:06] Andrew McGuire: Okay, all right.

[50:08] Conor Burke: Now, now the worst version.

[50:10] Andrew McGuire: Yeah.

[50:12] Conor Burke: She's, she's good for her age.

[50:14] Andrew McGuire: She's good for her age.

[50:16] Conor Burke: For her age.

[50:18] Andrew McGuire: I...

[50:20] Conor Burke: Wow.

[50:22] Andrew McGuire: Who want to start?

[50:24] Conor Burke: Um, I will.

[50:26] Andrew McGuire: I...

[50:28] Conor Burke: This...

[50:30] Andrew McGuire: This is...

[50:32] Conor Burke: The Mersolo.

[50:34] Andrew McGuire: Like, I don't care if there might be a better Mersolo.

[50:38] Conor Burke: Mersolo, this is the one.

[50:40] Andrew McGuire: As in...

[50:42] Conor Burke: Like, when you think of a Mercedes solo, I think if you asked any casual Glee viewer, what's a Mercedes solo?

[51:00] Andrew McGuire: They would say this one, if they're going to answer anything, because of the iconic nature of it.

[51:06] Conor Burke: There are Mersolos that I love and hold dear to my heart.

[51:10] Andrew McGuire: This is the one trademark Mercedes solo. TM.

[51:14] Conor Burke: You know what has been really climbing the ranks for me in, like, recent years, particularly? Is...

[51:18] Andrew McGuire: First Mercedes, Mersolo on the glacket.

[51:20] Conor Burke: Bust your windows.

[51:22] Andrew McGuire: That I would argue could be kind of the Mersolo above.

[51:26] Conor Burke: I know that this is like, this is her drop, of course.

[51:30] Andrew McGuire: Because it's from the Broadway catalog.

[51:32] Conor Burke: And then she obviously goes on to play this in the West End.

[51:36] Andrew McGuire: But, like, bust your windows.

[51:38] Conor Burke: I'm like...

[51:40] Andrew McGuire: Her windows.

[51:42] Conor Burke: What?

[51:44] Andrew McGuire: Bust your windows.

[51:46] Conor Burke: I just feel like that...

[51:48] Andrew McGuire: I don't know.

[51:50] Conor Burke: That is...

[51:52] Andrew McGuire: Bust your windows is comp culture.

[51:54] Conor Burke: It really is.

[51:56] Andrew McGuire: It really is comp culture.

[51:58] Conor Burke: And it always was.

[52:00] Andrew McGuire: But I do take your point.

[52:02] Conor Burke: It has certainly exacerbated more into comp culture the last, I'd say, maybe three, four years.

[52:06] Andrew McGuire: And she deserves her flowers.

[52:08] Conor Burke: Mercedes, drag queen at the Glee event.

[52:12] Andrew McGuire: Here we go.

[52:14] Conor Burke: It was so fucking iconic to me, personally.

[52:16] Andrew McGuire: Because she came.

[52:18] Conor Burke: She did her show.

[52:20] Andrew McGuire: And then she was like...

[52:22] Conor Burke: Got out of drag.

[52:24] Andrew McGuire: With her suitcase full of...

[52:26] Conor Burke: With all of her props.

[52:28] Andrew McGuire: And she was basically just like, okay, bye.

[52:30] Conor Burke: And just leaves.

[52:32] Andrew McGuire: I love that.

[52:34] Conor Burke: And then I was outside to get some fresh air.

[52:36] Andrew McGuire: And I met these Irish people.

[52:38] Conor Burke: I was talking to these Irish people.

[52:40] Andrew McGuire: And then all I hear is the trundle of a suitcase.

[52:42] Conor Burke: Like, the suitcase feels.

[52:44] Andrew McGuire: And I just turn around.

[52:46] Conor Burke: This is the suitcase episode of Glee.

[52:48] Andrew McGuire: She's like, bye, guys.

[52:50] Conor Burke: It was fucking iconic.

[52:52] Andrew McGuire: She was really great.

[52:54] Conor Burke: What song did she perform?

[52:56] Andrew McGuire: She did an entire megamix of her solos.

[52:58] Conor Burke: One in particular.

[53:00] Andrew McGuire: It's like the Joseph megamix.

[53:02] Conor Burke: I turned over to Connor when this started playing.

[53:04] Andrew McGuire: I was like, oh.

[53:06] Conor Burke: They're kind of doing deep cuts here.

[53:08] Andrew McGuire: Baby, it's you.

[53:10] Conor Burke: Oh, wow.

[53:12] Andrew McGuire: Baby, it's you.

[53:14] Conor Burke: It's you.

[53:16] Andrew McGuire: La, la, la, la.

[53:18] Conor Burke: Wow.

[53:20] Andrew McGuire: The funniest moment of the Glee drag night for me was when Andrew and Elias were standing there.

[53:24] Conor Burke: And I saw them look in a certain direction.

[53:26] Andrew McGuire: And Andrew was like to me, Connor, oh my God, look.

[53:28] Conor Burke: And I looked.

[53:30] Andrew McGuire: And I am short-sighted.

[53:32] Conor Burke: So I really struggle to see things at a distance.

[53:34] Andrew McGuire: I don't wear contacts.

[53:36] Conor Burke: I was wearing my glasses at the time.

[53:38] Andrew McGuire: It was dark, obviously.

[53:40] Conor Burke: I see this figure emerge from the darkness.

[53:42] Andrew McGuire: And it was drag Tina Cohen-Chang a la pilot.

[53:46] Conor Burke: A la goth Tina.

[53:48] Andrew McGuire: She just emerged from the darkness.

[53:50] Conor Burke: It was so fucking iconic.

[53:52] Andrew McGuire: I love that.

[53:54] Conor Burke: She looked iconic.

[53:56] Andrew McGuire: She looked amazing.

[53:58] Conor Burke: I was so excited to see you perform.

[54:00] Andrew McGuire: Obviously, you're Tina.

[54:02] Conor Burke: What Tina songs are you doing?

[54:04] Andrew McGuire: She was acting really coy.

[54:06] Conor Burke: I was like, oh, you can't say like you don't want to say.

[54:08] Andrew McGuire: Netflix.

[54:10] Conor Burke: She just took a beat.

[54:12] Andrew McGuire: She was like, yeah, yeah.

[54:14] Conor Burke: I'm just going to do Tina.

[54:16] Andrew McGuire: Wow.

[54:18] Conor Burke: I'm just going to do Tina.

[54:20] Andrew McGuire: I'm going to do Tina before slowly sauntering off.

[54:22] Conor Burke: When you told this story to me the first time, immediately clocked to me.

[54:26] Andrew McGuire: I was like, okay.

[54:28] Conor Burke: The Conor and Allison episode is going to be called I'm Just Doing Tina.

[54:30] Andrew McGuire: Just Doing Tina.

[54:32] Conor Burke: Wait a second.

[54:34] Andrew McGuire: The best thing was that obviously, you know, Andrew and Elias and I, we were having a great time.

[54:38] Conor Burke: Obviously, we were with our people.

[54:40] Andrew McGuire: And I turned to Andrew and I was like, oh, I think this is the one.

[54:44] Conor Burke: We record this.

[54:46] Andrew McGuire: I was like, I think you should put it up in the stories because it's so cute.

[54:48] Conor Burke: And then, three minutes later, the Tina Cohen challenge just had completely ass cheeks out.

[54:54] Andrew McGuire: Oh.

[54:56] Conor Burke: That was crazy.

[54:58] Andrew McGuire: I was like, oh, you should send this to Jenna.

[55:00] Conor Burke: Two minutes later, I was like, maybe not.

[55:02] Andrew McGuire: She's with her baby and she's like, oh, actually, I can't.

[55:04] Conor Burke: I can't actually watch this.

[55:06] Andrew McGuire: Actually, there's mountains on my phone.

[55:08] Conor Burke: What are they doing?

[55:10] Andrew McGuire: Oh, those aren't mountains. Those are butt cheeks.

[55:12] Conor Burke: Oh.

[55:14] Andrew McGuire: My kids can't see that.

[55:16] Conor Burke: Oh, that's so fun.

[55:18] Andrew McGuire: I'm just going to do Tina.

[55:20] Conor Burke: Also, just the fact that it just lined up so perfectly that we didn't even know that this event was happening until a few days before.

[55:28] Andrew McGuire: Perfect.

[55:30] Conor Burke: The ABBA to Glee Night pipeline was so unreal.

[55:34] Andrew McGuire: So fucking iconic.

[55:36] Conor Burke: You went to ABBA?

[55:40] Andrew McGuire: We will talk about, and I am telling you, I'm not going.

[55:44] Conor Burke: Oh.

[55:46] Andrew McGuire: We went to ABBA Voyage.

[55:48] Conor Burke: Oh my god.

[55:50] Andrew McGuire: A hologram show.

[55:52] Conor Burke: I felt like I was watching the GTA cut scenes of the members of ABBA singing.

[57:00] Andrew McGuire: It was amazing.

[57:02] Conor Burke: That's so funny.

[57:04] Andrew McGuire: Having pit seats to watch holograms.

[57:10] Conor Burke: Holograms of ABBA. Are they dead? Why are there holograms?

[57:14] Andrew McGuire: Why can't we have the real thing?

[57:16] Conor Burke: It cost them 175 million pounds to produce.

[57:20] Andrew McGuire: They have so far contributed 1.7 billion pounds to the British economy.

[57:26] Conor Burke: Oh my god.

[57:30] Andrew McGuire: It's like 3,000 people a night in this custom-made building.

[57:34] Conor Burke: It is insane.

[57:40] Andrew McGuire: I've done my research since. Apparently they're trying to bring it to North America. There's talks at the moment.

[57:46] Conor Burke: I don't know whether that's going to be happening anytime soon.

[57:48] Andrew McGuire: Imagine the passive income.

[57:50] Conor Burke: That's crazy.

[57:52] Andrew McGuire: Imagine the passive income.

[57:54] Conor Burke: Never mind the Mamma Mia stage musical.

[57:58] Andrew McGuire: Never mind the movies. Never mind the song rights in and of itself.

[58:02] Conor Burke: Just the passive income that they're getting from that London show.

[58:06] Andrew McGuire: Wine moms, they were eating it up.

[58:10] Conor Burke: Don't worry.

[58:12] Andrew McGuire: Honorary wine moms.

[58:14] Conor Burke: Culturally wine moms.

[58:16] Andrew McGuire: I grew up with a lot of wine moms.

[58:20] Conor Burke: I feel like I have a wine mom somewhere deep inside of me.

[58:24] Andrew McGuire: I also want to put a disclaimer.

[58:26] Conor Burke: I don't know what are the moral kind of dilemmas with Abba Voyage.

[58:30] Andrew McGuire: Because if anybody listening is like because I know people are really upset about Wizard of Oz at the Sphere.

[58:36] Conor Burke: Why?

[58:38] Andrew McGuire: Because of the AI of it all.

[58:40] Conor Burke: Abba Voyage has no AI.

[58:42] Andrew McGuire: It doesn't.

[58:44] Conor Burke: Oh, there's AI?

[58:46] Andrew McGuire: In the Sphere?

[58:48] Conor Burke: Abba Voyage they literally had.

[58:50] Andrew McGuire: Oh yeah, in the Sphere.

[58:52] Conor Burke: But Abba Voyage they literally brought in Abba and they had these suits put on them and dots and shit around one of those things and what you were seeing is them but they've just de-aged them.

[59:00] Andrew McGuire: Got you. Okay.

[59:02] Conor Burke: Do you know what? I was so drunk by the end of it. When the choir comes up.

[59:06] Andrew McGuire: That was wild.

[59:08] Conor Burke: And they were also holograms?

[59:10] Andrew McGuire: But I was like, wait, but that's the thing. I was so drunk I was like, wait, are they there?

[59:14] Conor Burke: I was so fucked up.

[59:16] Andrew McGuire: Oh, that's fine.

[59:18] Conor Burke: Okay, what's real?

[59:20] Andrew McGuire: Andrew, Elias.

[59:22] Conor Burke: Are you here?

[59:24] Andrew McGuire: Wait, are you guys still real?

[59:26] Conor Burke: Just like shaking.

[59:28] Andrew McGuire: Hello?

[59:30] Conor Burke: Wait, am I a hologram?

[59:54] Andrew McGuire: Oh, wow. You know who certainly is not a hologram?

[59:58] ♪ Musical number: "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" — performed by Amber Riley ♪

[1:00:00] Conor Burke: Proving, continues to prove that they're a real person is Amber Riley.

[1:00:05] Conor Burke: And I'm telling you, I'm not going.

[1:00:06] Conor Burke: I'm going to say something now that that's unpopular. I really hate to be that bitch. But because I saw Amber do this so many times in the West End production of Dreamgirls, I do love this as a mere solo. But for me, it is diluted. It is diluted because once you see it in the context, once you see the full thing, the lead up, the drama. And I always feel like with Glee songs, Glee musical theatre songs, episode versions, the cuts are crazy. The cuts are crazy. Well, the most egregious example of cutting in Glee history, in my opinion, is their cover of For Good from Wicked. Oh my god, it's so bad. Oh, I'm like, it's so jarring. It's so jarring. And it just doesn't work. So for me, it's kind of diluted with that. But I feel like Alison raised an interesting point about like, this is the mere solo to end all mere solos, which I don't disagree with.

[1:01:02] Conor Burke: But I've never really sat and considered what my favourite mere solo is, because I feel like it does kind of change all the time. And we also haven't even brought up Disco Inferno. I mean, come on now. I mean, okay, what I'm saying is, yeah, there might be personally better mere solos. I'm just saying, in general, this is staple. This is if she's gonna do one mere solo on tour, she's gonna do this.

[1:01:32] Conor Burke: This is drop. I really agree with that.

[1:01:37] Conor Burke: Yeah, I really agree with that. Yeah. Um, but I feel like the thing that I keep on coming because like, I feel like it is between like, Ain't No Way and I'm Telling You. But like, the weird thing about those two songs is that like, neither of them at the end, it's like beautiful that like, the Glee Club is both celebrating her in both performances. But like in both scenarios with this, it's like, hey, I can't wait to sing this at sectionals. And they're like, we can't wait to hear you sing it at sectionals. And then she doesn't sing it at sectionals. Then I'm like, okay. And then with Ain't No Way, it's like, okay, you're doing this Ignite a Neglect concert, which is like very cute. And it just like these standalone episodes of, you know, hey, we're gonna give Amber Riley a storyline because all we've given her this season so far is tater tots, you know, and so I don't, there's something about that that doesn't sit right with my spirit. I don't know.

[1:02:33] Conor Burke: Okay, I see what you're saying. I think it would take a lot to get this out of round four.

[1:02:39] Conor Burke: Yeah, I agree.

[1:02:42] Conor Burke: Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna be a tough one to beat. And I yeah, I am scared because there are a lot of these songs left, which all three of us and most of the Gleeks acknowledge are all fucking iconic and so brilliant. But it's kind of like, okay, like, you know, I'm worried about some of them.

[1:03:01] Conor Burke: Yeah, yeah. I there's no I'm not arguing that like this, without a doubt does belong in the top 100 easy, ugly songs, I would argue that like, top 30. So I just want to put that disclaimer out, because whatever. Last song of the episode, any final words?

[1:03:20] Conor Burke: Let's see what's next.

[1:03:25] Conor Burke: Nobody has sepsis in this competition yet. But I think I have sepsis.

[1:03:31] Conor Burke: This is actually really, really perfect. No, no, it is. It's perfect.

[1:03:37] Conor Burke: I think it's actually perfect. It's perfect. Pretty, pretty.

[1:03:51] Conor Burke: I think that if I asked you to guess 600 Glee songs, I think that you would still not reach.

[1:03:59] Conor Burke: Really?

[1:04:05] Conor Burke: Fuck.

[1:04:11] Conor Burke: I don't know who that man is.

[1:04:14] Conor Burke: It's early seasons. It's an early season.

[1:04:16] Conor Burke: No. I'm just going to tell you right now.

[1:04:18] Conor Burke: It's Jacob Artist singing.

[1:04:22] Conor Burke: It's season three.

[1:04:25] Conor Burke: Okay.

[1:04:26] Conor Burke: Not Jacob Artist.

[1:04:27] Conor Burke: Not Jacob Artist.

[1:04:28] Conor Burke: It is early seasons.

[1:04:30] Conor Burke: Yeah. An early season three.

[1:04:34] Conor Burke: An early season three.

[1:04:36] Conor Burke: Okay. So.

[1:04:38] Conor Burke: Try?

[1:04:40] Conor Burke: No.

[1:04:40] Conor Burke: Is it from the season premiere?

[1:04:45] Conor Burke: No. Can I tell you the episode?

[1:04:47] Conor Burke: Yes.

[1:04:49] Conor Burke: Pot of Gold.

[1:04:50] Conor Burke: Oh.

[1:04:52] Conor Burke: Last Friday Night.

[1:04:54] Conor Burke: No. Come on.

[1:04:56] Conor Burke: Take Care of Yourself.

[1:04:58] Conor Burke: It is Take Care of Yourself.

[1:05:00] Conor Burke: Oh, God.

[1:05:02] Conor Burke: Come see about me, Erasure.

[1:05:05] Conor Burke: Okay. I have so much to say, actually.

[1:05:08] Conor Burke: I really need you to.

[1:05:09] Conor Burke: Because this might be my last opportunity.

[1:05:10] Conor Burke: Yeah. The fact that this is even here at all is, is.

[1:05:17] Conor Burke: I was there.

[1:05:19] Conor Burke: We were doing somebody a favor.

[1:05:21] Conor Burke: This was, it was, Andrew was doing Robert Ulrich a favor.

[1:05:25] Conor Burke: Okay.

[1:05:25] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:05:26] Conor Burke: We need, we, okay, we need context.

[1:05:29] Conor Burke: All right. So, Connor, you were here last.

[1:05:31] Conor Burke: So.

[1:05:33] Conor Burke: Yes.

[1:05:34] Conor Burke: In the previous round, it was an episode with me and Andrew with Glee casting director.

[1:05:41] Conor Burke: Robert Ulrich.

[1:05:41] Conor Burke: Robert Ulrich, yeah.

[1:05:43] Conor Burke: And of course, the funniest thing about it is, is that Robert Ulrich, of course, voted.

[1:05:47] Conor Burke: It was Take Care of Yourself against Come See About Me.

[1:05:51] Conor Burke: Robert Ulrich, of course, voted for Take Care of Yourself.

[1:05:54] Conor Burke: I voted for Come See About Me.

[1:05:56] Conor Burke: And Andrew voted for Take Care of Yourself.

[1:05:58] Conor Burke: But it was kind of funny, actually, because I voted for Come See About Me.

[1:06:02] Conor Burke: And then I kind of, like, low-key checked out of the conversation because I was like, oh, Andrew's going to be voting for Come See About Me.

[1:06:08] Conor Burke: And then when I heard him say Take Care of Yourself, I remember just being like.

[1:06:13] Conor Burke: Wait, what?

[1:06:15] Conor Burke: I.

[1:06:16] Conor Burke: Excuse me?

[1:06:16] Conor Burke: No.

[1:06:17] Conor Burke: That was, that was Baby's first bender.

[1:06:19] Conor Burke: I'll say that.

[1:06:20] Conor Burke: Oh, Baby's first.

[1:06:21] Conor Burke: He was, he was fucked up.

[1:06:23] Conor Burke: She was fucked up.

[1:06:24] Conor Burke: She was fucked up.

[1:06:25] Conor Burke: And, and, you know, here's the thing.

[1:06:30] Conor Burke: I like Damien McGinty's voice.

[1:06:32] Conor Burke: I'm just going to say it.

[1:06:33] Conor Burke: Oh, yeah.

[1:06:35] Conor Burke: We can't argue with that.

[1:06:36] Conor Burke: As Rachel Berry says, he's magical.

[1:06:39] Conor Burke: Alison, completely stone-faced.

[1:06:44] Conor Burke: I want to bring this up because this is probably, this is not going through.

[1:06:48] Conor Burke: Spoiler alert.

[1:06:49] Conor Burke: This is dead.

[1:06:50] Conor Burke: Um, but I want to bring this up because maybe it's my last opportunity to,

[1:06:57] Conor Burke: because I don't think there's any Damien solos in round four.

[1:07:00] Conor Burke: I'm saying that with a question mark.

[1:07:02] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:07:04] Conor Burke: Um, I am part of the Damien McGinty official street team on Facebook.

[1:07:09] Conor Burke: I don't know how legit it is.

[1:07:13] Conor Burke: Because every so often somebody named Damien McGinty will like post on it asking for money.

[1:07:20] Conor Burke: No!

[1:07:22] Conor Burke: Wait a minute.

[1:07:24] Conor Burke: No!

[1:07:25] Conor Burke: I'm also in that Facebook group.

[1:07:26] Conor Burke: I added you into that Facebook group.

[1:07:28] Conor Burke: Do you think it's Damien?

[1:07:30] Conor Burke: Damien, Damien himself is in the Facebook group.

[1:07:33] Conor Burke: Is he posting?

[1:07:33] Conor Burke: He is not.

[1:07:35] Conor Burke: Yeah, he'll be like, hey guys, like I'm excited for the concert tonight.

[1:07:38] Conor Burke: Well, okay, sure.

[1:07:40] Conor Burke: Well, recently, um, there was a post.

[1:07:43] Conor Burke: Damien McGinty unfortunately lost his merch and sound system.

[1:07:47] Conor Burke: Thank you for the messages.

[1:07:49] Conor Burke: He's been emotional at the outpouring of gifts from young and old.

[1:07:54] Conor Burke: So this guy, I don't know.

[1:07:56] Conor Burke: Wait, are you saying, are you saying gifts or gifts?

[1:08:00] Conor Burke: Like people have given money and I want to believe that it is him.

[1:08:05] Conor Burke: I want to believe that it is him.

[1:08:08] Conor Burke: Um, but, and that it's actual money going to a real person.

[1:08:15] Conor Burke: I don't know though.

[1:08:16] Conor Burke: People, this woman, this woman just posted her Venmo and her PayPal QR code.

[1:08:21] Conor Burke: Her name's not Damien McGinty.

[1:08:24] Conor Burke: So.

[1:08:27] Conor Burke: As you're saying that, I'm like, should we include her Venmo and her PayPal in the carousel?

[1:08:32] Conor Burke: Yeah, good for her.

[1:08:34] Conor Burke: Good for her.

[1:08:36] Conor Burke: This person has come up with a way to help Damien.

[1:08:39] Conor Burke: If you would like to donate, donate to her.

[1:08:42] Conor Burke: You can dox her.

[1:08:44] Conor Burke: And this money will go directly to Damien and it'll get there immediately.

[1:08:48] Conor Burke: I'm sure.

[1:08:50] Conor Burke: I'm sure.

[1:08:52] Conor Burke: I'm just the middle woman.

[1:08:55] Conor Burke: I don't want the Damien McGinty street team to come after me, but that feels weird.

[1:09:00] Conor Burke: I wouldn't donate to somebody random that posts their Venmo on Facebook.

[1:09:06] Conor Burke: And be like, Damien McGinty will receive this.

[1:09:09] Conor Burke: I won't even see the money even for a, for even a second.

[1:09:11] Conor Burke: I promise Damien will see this money.

[1:09:15] Conor Burke: Every time a Rolo comes up, the conversation does come up about who are the listeners of Gleek of the Week who are genuinely Damien McGinty stans?

[1:09:21] Conor Burke: Because I want to hear from them.

[1:09:25] Conor Burke: People love.

[1:09:26] Conor Burke: Yeah, there are.

[1:09:28] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:09:29] Conor Burke: The demographic of the street team is probably 40 year old white women.

[1:09:37] Conor Burke: I'm saying even higher.

[1:09:38] Conor Burke: I'm saying 50, 60.

[1:09:41] Conor Burke: I'm looking at the women in the Facebook group.

[1:09:42] Conor Burke: This person just posted, I mean, of course it was at the pivotal moment.

[1:09:47] Conor Burke: There's no context.

[1:09:49] Conor Burke: What's the pivotal moment that you're talking about?

[1:09:53] Conor Burke: My favorite thing.

[1:09:55] Conor Burke: I think that Connor, you, Elias, and I discussed this, that Damien McGinty, he'll go on tour and like, we want to go, Elias and I are like, let's go see Damien McGinty on tour.

[1:10:06] Conor Burke: Then he like, the cities in which he goes to are like, so hard to find on a map.

[1:10:15] Conor Burke: And I'm like, how do you even select this place?

[1:10:18] Conor Burke: Like Hayward, Wisconsin.

[1:10:19] Conor Burke: Are you just throwing darts?

[1:10:21] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:10:21] Conor Burke: Where the fuck is that?

[1:10:24] Conor Burke: It's like, no, I can't actually be there.

[1:10:26] Conor Burke: Decatur, Iowa.

[1:10:28] Conor Burke: I don't know where that is.

[1:10:30] Conor Burke: King.

[1:10:31] Conor Burke: I would love to be, I send my love.

[1:10:33] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:10:35] Conor Burke: Oh my God.

[1:10:38] Conor Burke: Big love to him.

[1:10:40] Conor Burke: Is he touring at the moment?

[1:10:42] Conor Burke: Oh yeah, he doesn't stop touring.

[1:10:44] Conor Burke: He's always doing a show.

[1:10:45] Conor Burke: I promise you.

[1:10:47] Conor Burke: You want me to tell you where it is?

[1:10:49] Conor Burke: He never stops touring, goes onto the website.

[1:10:52] Conor Burke: There are no upcoming events right now.

[1:10:53] Conor Burke: Well, no, no, no.

[1:10:53] Conor Burke: He was just, he was just in Arizona on August 5th.

[1:10:59] Conor Burke: Okay.

[1:10:59] Conor Burke: Um, he was, he put out a new song.

[1:11:05] Conor Burke: Um.

[1:11:06] Conor Burke: Oh, I saw that like today he posted that like a new song of his is like featured in a Hallmark movie.

[1:11:11] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:11:11] Conor Burke: In a Hallmark movie.

[1:11:12] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:11:12] Conor Burke: That's pretty exciting.

[1:11:13] Conor Burke: I think that was probably the context for that other post.

[1:11:17] Conor Burke: Um, Edmonds or Seattle, Washington was August, in August.

[1:11:23] Conor Burke: Um, he's, he's everywhere.

[1:11:26] Conor Burke: I mean, we're out here just posting.

[1:11:28] Conor Burke: Somebody took this to Photoshop and cut out the background of Damien and just posted it online.

[1:11:39] Conor Burke: Oregon has a Milwaukee.

[1:11:41] Conor Burke: Somerville, South Carolina.

[1:11:43] Conor Burke: Babe, wake up.

[1:11:45] Conor Burke: Oregon has a Milwaukee.

[1:11:47] Conor Burke: New Milwaukee just dropped.

[1:11:52] Conor Burke: Him and I will say him and his, him and his wife are so cute.

[1:11:55] Conor Burke: I have to say I follow their posts.

[1:11:58] Conor Burke: I follow their posts.

[1:11:59] Conor Burke: And then, but isn't like, I wonder because I don't know, apparently this band that he's in, Celtic Thunder or whatever, are pretty big states.

[1:12:07] Conor Burke: Like we don't really know them over this side of the world.

[1:12:10] Conor Burke: Right.

[1:12:10] Conor Burke: That's crazy to me.

[1:12:11] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:12:11] Conor Burke: It's more of a like, it's more of a like, not in a bad way.

[1:12:15] Conor Burke: I just think it's like a band that like really caters to like American audiences because it's like, oh, it's Irish.

[1:12:21] Conor Burke: Do you know that way?

[1:12:22] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:12:23] Conor Burke: What's the Anglophile people?

[1:12:26] Conor Burke: Anglophile is people that are obsessed with British people.

[1:12:30] Conor Burke: Hibernophile is the Irish equivalent.

[1:12:32] Conor Burke: Oh.

[1:12:33] Conor Burke: Hiberno.

[1:12:34] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:12:34] Conor Burke: But I don't know, like, so I wonder how much of his audience, how much of his audience are from Glee?

[1:12:39] Conor Burke: I don't, I think it, to me, it says the, I don't know, the demo.

[1:12:48] Conor Burke: I'm assuming that they're, they're Celtic Thunder fans.

[1:12:53] Conor Burke: First.

[1:12:55] Conor Burke: Iconic.

[1:12:55] Conor Burke: First.

[1:12:55] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:12:58] Conor Burke: And then they were like, oh, he's going to be on Glee Project.

[1:12:59] Conor Burke: Let me watch that.

[1:13:02] Conor Burke: It's kind of like Starfield for Darren Criss.

[1:13:03] Conor Burke: 100%.

[1:13:03] Conor Burke: I feel like the Venn diagram of people who are Damian McGuinty fans and people who were at ABBA Voyage with me, you and Elias, that's a circle.

[1:13:12] Conor Burke: Circle.

[1:13:13] Conor Burke: That's a circle.

[1:13:14] Conor Burke: Yeah, you're right.

[1:13:15] Conor Burke: He's the opening act.

[1:13:16] Conor Burke: Damian McGuinty is the opening act.

[1:13:18] Conor Burke: I love that.

[1:13:19] Conor Burke: It's true.

[1:13:20] Conor Burke: Um, I, I was watching Elias and, uh, and I and our friend Ben, like we were, we were watching an episode, maybe like this time last year that featured Rory in it.

[1:13:33] Conor Burke: And my friend Ben has only seen like a few episodes of Glee here and there and has never seen Rory before.

[1:13:37] Conor Burke: And it's like, who is that?

[1:13:41] Conor Burke: And I literally, the only words that could come to my mouth were, he won a contest.

[1:13:45] Conor Burke: And he did.

[1:13:46] Conor Burke: He did.

[1:13:48] Conor Burke: That's not, that's not a lie.

[1:13:49] Conor Burke: It's not a lie, but it sounds like one.

[1:13:51] Conor Burke: It's like, yeah.

[1:13:52] Conor Burke: You won a contest to be on the show.

[1:13:54] Conor Burke: We're not doing that enough anymore.

[1:13:57] Conor Burke: Winning a contest to be on a show.

[1:13:59] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:14:01] Conor Burke: I think they should do that with Evita.

[1:14:06] Conor Burke: I think that would go over really, really well is who's going to be our Eva Perón.

[1:14:07] Conor Burke: Like.

[1:14:08] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:14:09] Conor Burke: And also, Alison.

[1:14:09] Conor Burke: Don't cry for me, Argentina.

[1:14:10] Conor Burke: Oh, we need it.

[1:14:12] Conor Burke: Um, we recently found out on a recent episode.

[1:14:16] Conor Burke: What year do you think Take Care of Yourself, the original version?

[1:14:20] Conor Burke: What year do you think that song came out in?

[1:14:23] Conor Burke: Is it Elvis?

[1:14:26] Conor Burke: Is it an Elvis song?

[1:14:28] Conor Burke: I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna tell you.

[1:14:29] Conor Burke: Okay.

[1:14:31] Conor Burke: I think it's like 1940s or 50s.

[1:14:36] Conor Burke: Are you ready to find out?

[1:14:37] Conor Burke: Oh, fuck.

[1:14:38] Conor Burke: Fuck.

[1:14:39] Conor Burke: Tell me.

[1:14:40] Conor Burke: This episode came out in 2011.

[1:14:42] Conor Burke: This song came out in 2011.

[1:14:45] Conor Burke: What?

[1:14:47] Conor Burke: I know, it's crazy.

[1:14:48] Conor Burke: Right?

[1:14:49] Conor Burke: Who's writing this?

[1:14:51] Conor Burke: Who made that?

[1:14:52] Conor Burke: Hermit the Frog?

[1:14:53] Conor Burke: Like.

[1:14:54] Conor Burke: The same person that made A Time Machine, I could tell you that much.

[1:14:56] Conor Burke: That, yeah.

[1:14:57] Conor Burke: Is it like, have you listened to the original?

[1:15:00] Conor Burke: Is it like an exact cover of the original?

[1:15:03] Conor Burke: No, I truthfully have not.

[1:15:05] Conor Burke: Who sings?

[1:15:06] Conor Burke: I'm gonna look that up.

[1:15:07] Conor Burke: I know what.

[1:15:08] Conor Burke: Teddy Thompson.

[1:15:09] Conor Burke: And you would think that named.

[1:15:11] Conor Burke: Teddy Thompson.

[1:15:12] Conor Burke: That's a man from the 1940s.

[1:15:14] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:15:14] Conor Burke: Who the fuck is that?

[1:15:17] Conor Burke: You know what?

[1:15:18] Conor Burke: It's giving, it's giving.

[1:15:19] Conor Burke: Joe and I are watching Leftovers.

[1:15:22] Conor Burke: I've never watched that before.

[1:15:24] Conor Burke: But Leftovers and like Lost kind of.

[1:15:28] Conor Burke: But these shows from this time period, 2011, late 2000s.

[1:15:33] Conor Burke: They use songs that are so random.

[1:15:40] Conor Burke: Like, where the fuck did you pull this out of?

[1:15:42] Conor Burke: Leftovers does it, Lost does it, this gives it.

[1:15:45] Conor Burke: But like, where the fuck did you pull this out of?

[1:15:47] Conor Burke: I just looked it up.

[1:15:48] Conor Burke: It has got 49,000 views on the, like on the, from the Teddy Thompson YouTube channel.

[1:15:56] Conor Burke: And there is literally.

[1:15:57] Conor Burke: Who in the writers room pushed this through?

[1:16:02] Conor Burke: There is literally who in the comments.

[1:16:02] Conor Burke: One of the writers lost a bet.

[1:16:04] Conor Burke: They were doing a favor for somebody else.

[1:16:05] Conor Burke: And Andrew was doing a favor by putting this into third round.

[1:16:10] Conor Burke: Okay.

[1:16:12] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:16:16] Conor Burke: So ain't no way.

[1:16:18] Conor Burke: So, okay.

[1:16:18] Conor Burke: Y'all need to listen to that because it's so, it's like uncanny valley.

[1:16:22] Conor Burke: Listen to the original.

[1:16:24] Conor Burke: You're kind of like, oh my God, that's Sammy McGinty.

[1:16:26] Conor Burke: But it's not.

[1:16:28] Conor Burke: Anyway.

[1:16:29] Conor Burke: Anyway, let's lock back in.

[1:16:31] Conor Burke: And I'm, I am telling you.

[1:16:33] Conor Burke: That you are going through to the next round.

[1:16:36] Conor Burke: Whenever I see Idina, Andrew, strong contender for Halloween costume this year is Idina's beast music video.

[1:16:41] Conor Burke: Fucking iconic.

[1:16:46] Conor Burke: Are you pitching that to me or?

[1:16:48] Conor Burke: Yeah, I do this.

[1:16:49] Conor Burke: I think I did this to you in London as well.

[1:16:51] Conor Burke: I was like, that's an Andrew McGuire Halloween costume.

[1:16:54] Conor Burke: Drop that one down.

[1:16:54] Conor Burke: I actually have too many ideas right now that I need to.

[1:16:57] Conor Burke: Really?

[1:16:59] Conor Burke: I'm not actually taking submissions at this time.

[1:17:01] Conor Burke: Can you lend one to me and Joe?

[1:17:04] Conor Burke: That would be good.

[1:17:05] Conor Burke: Let me look at my list right now.

[1:17:10] Conor Burke: Not the notes app.

[1:17:12] Conor Burke: The notes app.

[1:17:13] Conor Burke: Wait, have you seen weapons yet, Alison?

[1:17:15] Conor Burke: No.

[1:17:17] Conor Burke: Okay.

[1:17:18] Conor Burke: Nevermind.

[1:17:19] Conor Burke: One of them is, it's okay.

[1:17:22] Conor Burke: It would be too much to explain.

[1:17:24] Conor Burke: But it's the people that have watched weapons.

[1:17:26] Conor Burke: It's not the person that you're thinking of.

[1:17:29] Conor Burke: Powerpuff Girls.

[1:17:30] Conor Burke: You know, you know, Powerpuff Girls, Alison.

[1:17:33] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:17:35] Conor Burke: Miss Bellum.

[1:17:36] Conor Burke: There's some.

[1:17:37] Conor Burke: And the mayor.

[1:17:38] Conor Burke: And he could be the mayor.

[1:17:39] Conor Burke: And the mayor.

[1:17:40] Conor Burke: And I could be.

[1:17:41] Conor Burke: Oh, fun.

[1:17:43] Conor Burke: Right.

[1:17:43] Conor Burke: Oh, okay.

[1:17:46] Conor Burke: I also think that like, Freaky Friday.

[1:17:49] Conor Burke: I recently rewatched the original, the Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, 2004 movie.

[1:17:55] Conor Burke: There's something there.

[1:17:55] Conor Burke: There's a costume there.

[1:17:56] Conor Burke: And it's boring, but it's fun.

[1:17:58] Conor Burke: I want to do that with you.

[1:17:59] Conor Burke: Lois Griffin.

[1:18:00] Conor Burke: I think that would be perfect for you.

[1:18:03] Conor Burke: Lois Griffin would be perfect for you, Alison.

[1:18:07] Conor Burke: That's great.

[1:18:10] Conor Burke: And then I just have other things in here.

[1:18:12] Conor Burke: Anything else?

[1:18:13] Conor Burke: See, I have Harry Potter and a Golden Snitch.

[1:18:15] Conor Burke: Like, I'm boring.

[1:18:18] Conor Burke: Harry Potter and the Golden Snitch.

[1:18:20] Conor Burke: Or Austin Powers and a Fembot.

[1:18:24] Conor Burke: I told you.

[1:18:25] Conor Burke: Groovy, baby.

[1:18:26] Conor Burke: I'm really excited.

[1:18:27] Conor Burke: It's straight people culture.

[1:18:29] Conor Burke: Straight people culture.

[1:18:30] Conor Burke: One year, I think I told you this idea, that like, I need like a huge group for this, is all the Deal or No Deal models.

[1:18:39] Conor Burke: So iconic.

[1:18:40] Conor Burke: Like, everybody gets like, we buy like, bulk silver suitcases.

[1:18:45] Conor Burke: I really love that.

[1:18:46] Conor Burke: Put like, you know, stickers of numbers on there.

[1:18:49] Conor Burke: And then we just like, go out and we open up the suitcase as the night continues.

[1:18:53] Conor Burke: Well, it's fairly obvious you're not going to do Adena, Beast and Me.

[1:18:56] Conor Burke: So maybe I'll do that.

[1:18:57] Conor Burke: It's very simple.

[1:18:58] Conor Burke: The Beast and Me.

[1:19:02] Conor Burke: I'm handing that right back to you.

[1:19:05] Conor Burke: I'm stronger than I'll ever be.

[1:19:07] Conor Burke: Oh, just you wait for that TikTok recreation.

[1:19:09] Conor Burke: I've got the legs for it, you know.

[1:19:11] Conor Burke: I've got the legs.

[1:19:12] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:19:13] Conor Burke: Love you, girl.

[1:19:13] Conor Burke: We're at 90 minutes, Sam.

[1:19:15] Conor Burke: We're at 90 minutes.

[1:19:15] Conor Burke: Just to say, Shelby, what a mess.

[1:19:18] Conor Burke: You're such a fucking mess.

[1:19:19] Conor Burke: Oh, in this song.

[1:19:19] Conor Burke: But you know what, though?

[1:19:21] Conor Burke: Oh, we're not even talking about the shock of it all.

[1:19:24] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:19:25] Conor Burke: I just, um, Shelby's a mess, but I love her.

[1:19:28] Conor Burke: And the recurring narrative on this podcast is Shelby is a mess, period.

[1:19:33] Conor Burke: But I'm going to, I'm going to spice it up a bit.

[1:19:35] Conor Burke: Shelby's a mess and I fucking love her for it.

[1:19:39] Conor Burke: We need more mess.

[1:19:42] Conor Burke: We need more women who are messes.

[1:19:44] Conor Burke: And she really, she really, it's my dream.

[1:19:48] Conor Burke: I want, I want to be at, I want to be pre-drinking, pre-gaming with Shelby Corcoran and Judy February.

[1:19:56] Conor Burke: And characters that don't exist in our universe.

[1:19:59] Conor Burke: And Brenda Castle.

[1:22:36] Conor Burke: I forgot to do send-offs to all the songs in this episode.

[1:22:40] Conor Burke: Superstition.

[1:22:42] Conor Burke: No need to be superstitious about walking under any ladders.

[1:22:46] Conor Burke: You are walking on up the ladder to round four.

[1:23:09] Conor Burke: And then this obviously lends itself to it.

[1:23:12] Conor Burke: Very obviously.

[1:23:13] Conor Burke: Take care of yourself in hell.

[1:23:16] Conor Burke: Okay, so Alison, where can the Gleeks, do they want to find you?

[1:23:21] Conor Burke: Do you want them to find you?

[1:23:22] Conor Burke: Do you want anything from them?

[1:23:24] Alison Dodge: Sorry, I just got a menstrual cramp.

[1:23:27] Alison Dodge: At the thought of sharing my personal information.

[1:23:33] Alison Dodge: You don't have to follow me on Instagram.

[1:23:35] Alison Dodge: You know what?

[1:23:35] Alison Dodge: Actually, follow me on TikTok.

[1:23:40] Alison Dodge: Do you actively make TikToks?

[1:23:42] Alison Dodge: Not really.

[1:23:43] Alison Dodge: But I want followers on there so that I can go live and I can make money.

[1:23:47] Conor Burke: That's fucking high.

[1:23:47] Conor Burke: You went to the Minnesota State Fair and that was a really cute TikTok.

[1:23:50] Alison Dodge: I did.

[1:23:50] Alison Dodge: Oh my god, my cramping.

[1:23:52] Alison Dodge: So my uterus is actually really hurting me right now.

[1:23:56] Conor Burke: Wait, then go leave, actually.

[1:23:57] Alison Dodge: Okay, we're done.

[1:23:58] Alison Dodge: Okay, I love you guys.

[1:24:00] Alison Dodge: I'll talk to you later.

[1:24:01] Conor Burke: Oh my god.

[1:24:05] Conor Burke: That's the most iconic sign off of all time.

[1:24:10] Conor Burke: That was insane.

[1:24:11] Conor Burke: Wait, no one can see this.

[1:24:13] Conor Burke: Audio medium.

[1:24:14] Conor Burke: Just her, her little square disappearing from the screen.

[1:24:19] Conor Burke: She actually is, like, I want everybody to know she actually is not here anymore.

[1:24:25] Conor Burke: Alison, are you okay?

[1:24:27] Conor Burke: Connor, do you have a social glee to share or do you have menstrual cramps as well?

[1:24:32] Conor Burke: I mean, what, what was that?

[1:24:34] Conor Burke: What was that?

[1:24:35] Conor Burke: The definition, what was that?

[1:24:38] Conor Burke: The definition of a tough act to follow.

[1:24:41] Conor Burke: Um, you can find me.

[1:24:45] Conor Burke: No, this is not going to turn into a bit of two men laughing at menstrual pain.

[1:24:49] Conor Burke: Okay, we're not going to get ourselves into that hole.

[1:24:51] Conor Burke: You can find me on Instagram.

[1:24:52] Conor Burke: I am Connor Burke.

[1:25:07] Conor Burke: Go, go do that.

[1:25:09] Conor Burke: And go do that.

[1:25:10] Conor Burke: Is there anything now that we don't have a time constraint anymore?

[1:25:15] Conor Burke: Do we have anything else to, like, recap to talk about anything at all?

[1:25:19] Conor Burke: Um, it was great meeting some gleeks.

[1:25:22] Conor Burke: In the wild.

[1:25:24] Conor Burke: That was great.

[1:25:25] Conor Burke: I actually went to a few listeners.

[1:25:27] Conor Burke: There was, I went to see Titanic the following day.

[1:25:31] Conor Burke: And oh, you need to tell me what you think.

[1:25:32] Conor Burke: Oh my God, it was so good.

[1:25:34] Conor Burke: It was amazing.

[1:25:35] Conor Burke: Like it was absolutely amazing.

[1:25:37] Conor Burke: First time seeing it.

[1:25:39] Conor Burke: Um, and I got a message on Instagram from, I believe.

[1:25:44] Conor Burke: I got a text.

[1:25:46] Conor Burke: I believe her name is Glistener Stella.

[1:25:50] Conor Burke: Is that her name?

[1:25:51] Conor Burke: Stella, who worked front of house at Titanic.

[1:25:55] Conor Burke: And she said, were you at Titanic?

[1:25:57] Conor Burke: And I was like, yes.

[1:26:12] Conor Burke: It was just a, we had a great time.

[1:26:14] Conor Burke: I don't know how you two did it.

[1:26:16] Conor Burke: Like I was, so we went to the ABBA concert, which was 90 minutes straight through.

[1:26:21] Conor Burke: And then we went to the drag event.

[1:26:23] Conor Burke: I was egg exhausted by the end of the night.

[1:26:27] Conor Burke: But you guys were like, nope.

[1:26:29] Conor Burke: You know what we're doing?

[1:26:30] Conor Burke: We're going to Paris tomorrow.

[1:26:32] Conor Burke: Tomorrow.

[1:26:32] Conor Burke: Um, so when I got back to Dublin, I think I slept for 48 hours.

[1:26:36] Conor Burke: I know what I'm saying.

[1:26:39] Conor Burke: When I'm, when I'm, when I'm telling you that, like, I feel like I was like on a, like, I still like I'm on a bender.

[1:26:46] Conor Burke: Like, that's what I'm talking about.

[1:26:47] Conor Burke: Like, to your point that I'm like, I was like working at such a, like rapid pace, doing da-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba for 10 days straight.

[1:26:57] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:26:57] Conor Burke: Like I arrived in, and I arrived in London on Wednesday and I went home on,

[1:27:02] Conor Burke: I saw seven shows.

[1:27:05] Conor Burke: I saw, I did two, I did two, two show days in a row.

[1:27:10] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:27:11] Conor Burke: People are probably laughing, but like, it's exhausting.

[1:27:14] Conor Burke: It's exhausting.

[1:27:15] Conor Burke: Like we were drinking alcohol every night.

[1:27:17] Conor Burke: Let's be real.

[1:27:18] Conor Burke: Well, let's be honest.

[1:27:19] Conor Burke: We're adults.

[1:27:20] Conor Burke: We're adults.

[1:27:21] Conor Burke: Let's be honest.

[1:27:23] Conor Burke: We were very tipsy.

[1:27:25] Conor Burke: I want to share, um, what happened at Disneyland Paris that I, I shared to my, my story on Magui Guy.

[1:27:29] Conor Burke: But, um, this was crazy.

[1:27:32] Conor Burke: Oh my gosh, yeah.

[1:27:35] Conor Burke: What the fuck?

[1:27:36] Conor Burke: We went to Toy Story, Toy Story Land in Disneyland Paris.

[1:27:39] Conor Burke: Um, and, uh, and we were in line for the RC ride.

[1:27:45] Conor Burke: And, uh, and we were in line for like, probably like 30 minutes at that point.

[1:27:49] Conor Burke: And then Elias like says to me, I think, turn around.

[1:27:52] Conor Burke: I think that's Natalie Portman.

[1:27:54] Conor Burke: And I'm like, this bitch.

[1:27:55] Conor Burke: Like that's, I'm going to turn around.

[1:27:57] Conor Burke: It's not going to be fucking Natalie Portman.

[1:28:00] Conor Burke: And I turn around.

[1:28:02] Conor Burke: Sure enough, Natalie Portman.

[1:28:04] Conor Burke: That is what, like, I've completely forgot that you shared that in your story.

[1:28:10] Conor Burke: And now that you're saying it, I'm like, that is wild.

[1:28:14] Conor Burke: Just like, I felt crazy.

[1:28:16] Conor Burke: And so I did film her on the RC ride because she had like an exit, like she was being, you know, uh, escorted around the park, um, by staff and was just like, oh yeah, you're going on the next ride.

[1:28:26] Conor Burke: And then she got front seat.

[1:28:29] Conor Burke: She did look a little scared.

[1:28:30] Conor Burke: I took a video of her as she was going up the, the ride.

[1:28:33] Conor Burke: Um, but she had a fun time when she exit.

[1:28:36] Conor Burke: Natalie, smile.

[1:28:38] Conor Burke: That's like, I'd say, yeah, you guys got a lot done.

[1:28:43] Conor Burke: Like it's, it's, it was exhausting.

[1:28:45] Conor Burke: It was exhaust.

[1:28:46] Conor Burke: We did, even when we were in London, we did a lot.

[1:28:48] Conor Burke: It was fucking great.

[1:28:49] Conor Burke: Don't get me wrong.

[1:28:49] Conor Burke: It was amazing.

[1:28:50] Conor Burke: But like, we did a lot, you know?

[1:28:53] Conor Burke: Elias and I like walked everywhere as well.

[1:28:56] Conor Burke: That like, and, and when we told you that we were walking to certain places, you were like, oh, that's, that's insane.

[1:29:02] Conor Burke: Nobody does that.

[1:29:03] Conor Burke: And we're like, no, we're going to walk an hour and a half.

[1:29:06] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:29:06] Conor Burke: You're going to walk an hour and a half.

[1:29:08] Conor Burke: Then you came back and then you would literally just jump in the shower and then we were ready to leave again.

[1:29:12] Conor Burke: Yeah.

[1:29:13] Conor Burke: I had to, I'm that kind of person.

[1:29:15] Conor Burke: I need to decompress.

[1:29:17] Conor Burke: So respect to y'all.

[1:29:19] Conor Burke: Anyway.

[1:29:20] Conor Burke: Anyway.

[1:29:21] Conor Burke: You just know that people were waiting to hear about our trip.

[1:29:25] Conor Burke: I can sense the glisteners are just so excited.

[1:29:28] Conor Burke: I've been waiting all week.

[1:29:29] Conor Burke: Oh my God.

[1:29:29] Conor Burke: And I like, I like the way that we kind of like sparse it, sparse it throughout the, the episode as well.

[1:29:33] Conor Burke: I know.

[1:29:34] Conor Burke: But it's like, yeah.

[1:29:36] Conor Burke: It's like, we're just like, oh my God, Alison, best of luck with those cramps.

[1:29:40] Conor Burke: Anyway, should we talk about the London trip?

[1:29:44] Conor Burke: Anyway.

[1:29:45] Conor Burke: Yeah, wait, is there anything that we, we talked a lot about Jenna Ashkowitz on the trip.

[1:29:48] Conor Burke: Is there anything that you would like to say about Jenna Ashkowitz at this time?

[1:29:51] Conor Burke: Queen icon mother.

[1:29:53] Conor Burke: Um, I, by the way, love that she's thinking of bringing the Glee reboot era's tour to the sphere.

[1:30:00] Conor Burke: So important. So you can just tell that Queen is a producer. She's working the figures in her head.

[1:30:31] Allison Dodge: Wait, why are we at the Sphere now? Crazy.

[1:30:35] Conor Burke: Wait, when are you going to see Spelling Bee?

[1:30:37] Allison Dodge: My birthday week in November. Monday the 17th.

[1:30:43] Conor Burke: You have got a lot on that week. I'm jealous. Is that- and are you going to see Chess that week?

[1:30:47] Allison Dodge: The day after Spelling Bee. Don't Sleep in the Subway Heads are really getting fed that week in particular.

[1:30:56] Conor Burke: Justice for Don't Sleep in the Subway. Seriously, I love Don't Sleep-

[1:31:00] Allison Dodge: No, I love Don't Sleep in the Subway and it's one of my favourite Rachel Furtz.

[1:31:04] Conor Burke: Oh, no, that's cute. Yeah. And I think that Don't Sleep in the Subway is actually the hidden password to end the episode.

[1:31:13] Allison Dodge: You know, like when- like once we reach Don't Sleep in the Subway, now we can finally, you know, pass- the password is Don't Sleep in the Subway.

[1:31:22] Conor Burke: Alison left 15 minutes ago.

[1:31:27] Allison Dodge: Haven't seen that girl in years.

[1:31:30] Conor Burke: Okay, I guess anything else? But I feel like we really did talk about it all.

[1:31:34] Allison Dodge: No, we really dug deep. We really dug deep. There were things that perhaps we didn't talk about that we don't need to talk about.

[1:31:41] Conor Burke: And that's okay. That's okay.

[1:31:43] Allison Dodge: We don't need to address everything. The elephant in the room.

[1:31:46] Conor Burke: Okay, until next week. Room.

[1:31:50] Allison Dodge: Goodbye!

[1:31:52] Conor Burke: It's Gleek. Gleek of the Week.
