[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: Gleek it by Gleek it, 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.
[0:32] Andrew: It's Gleek, Gleek of the Week.
[0:35] Andrew: Here we are again.
[0:37] Heather Morris: Wait, hi Andrew, I'm Heather, it's so nice to meet you.
[0:40] Andrew: Hi Heather.
[0:41] Heather Morris: Hi, I've been so excited to meet you, this is such an honor.
[0:45] Andrew: I know, I just like, I feel like the stars finally aligned, and I'm so glad that we are able to make this happen.
[0:51] Heather Morris: Finally, finally, it's been so...
[0:54] Heather Morris: It's been so long, I feel, but...
[0:57] Andrew: But the horses are back, so...
[1:00] Heather Morris: I got the horses in the back.
[1:02] Andrew: You got the horses in the back.
[1:04] Heather Morris: Oh my god.
[1:05] Heather Morris: Giddy up, bitches.
[1:06] Heather Morris: Giddy up, bitches, because we are...
[1:08] Heather Morris: I'm recording, I have my boyfriend in the other room, he's doing a double recording, I'm doing another recording.
[1:15] Heather Morris: Everything is being recorded, spirit fingers.
[1:19] Heather Morris: Anyway, alright.
[1:21] Heather Morris: Hi guys.
[1:22] Andrew: Alright, so, this is a really crazy thing that happened only for the first time in five years of doing this damn podcast.
[1:33] Andrew: In the history of Gleek of the Week.
[1:35] Andrew: In the history of...
[1:36] Heather Morris: Glistory in the making, truly.
[1:38] Andrew: Glistory in the making.
[1:40] Andrew: I had an entire conversation with our lovely guests, who's here again today, and I...
[1:49] Andrew: The recording didn't work.
[1:50] Andrew: And so, we had a really great conversation, and it's, of course, Heather Morris, who is literally...
[1:58] Andrew: I'll say, the kindest human of all time, that I was like, if she...
[2:03] Andrew: This puts so much pressure on you, Heather.
[2:05] Heather Morris: If you didn't do it, I was like, I don't know if I can watch Glee anymore.
[2:08] Andrew: If you were like...
[2:10] Heather Morris: I'd be like, oh no, I fucked up so bad that...
[2:15] Heather Morris: I don't know if I can bring myself to watch it.
[2:16] Andrew: Now you have to remove yourself?
[2:18] Heather Morris: What? No.
[2:19] Heather Morris: No, I like...
[2:21] Heather Morris: But the pressure is on, because I feel like...
[2:24] Heather Morris: If we don't deliver a good episode, people are going to be like, oh, we want another episode.
[2:29] Andrew: But we can't put that on us.
[2:31] Heather Morris: No, no, no.
[2:32] Heather Morris: I think like...
[2:34] Heather Morris: We're going to be great here.
[2:36] Heather Morris: I left, because like, okay, so...
[2:39] Heather Morris: This is what happened.
[2:39] Heather Morris: We had the conversation immediately after the Zoom, because it usually comes up with a pop-up that's like, hey, like, here are your files.
[2:46] Heather Morris: And then, so I left the Zoom.
[2:48] Heather Morris: I was like, that's weird.
[2:50] Heather Morris: I'm not seeing the files.
[2:52] Heather Morris: And so, hey, I think that was...
[2:55] Heather Morris: Heart sinking, heart sinking, heart sinking.
[2:57] Andrew: Heart sinking.
[2:58] Heather Morris: I was like, wow, this...
[3:00] Heather Morris: Oh, my God.
[3:01] Heather Morris: Anyway, but...
[3:03] Heather Morris: Immediately the shit start.
[3:04] Heather Morris: You go to the toilet.
[3:05] Andrew: You're like...
[3:05] Heather Morris: I go to the toilet.
[3:06] Heather Morris: Everything, everything inside of me is out.
[3:10] Heather Morris: It's gone.
[3:10] Heather Morris: And so, but you know what?
[3:13] Heather Morris: Thank you so much.
[3:14] Heather Morris: Literally, kindest woman of the year award goes to you.
[3:18] Andrew: Oh, stop it.
[3:19] Heather Morris: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[3:22] Heather Morris: I'm crying.
[3:22] Heather Morris: Oh, my God.
[3:23] Heather Morris: Receive, receive, receive.
[3:26] Andrew: Anyway, hey, Heather.
[3:27] Heather Morris: Hi.
[3:29] Andrew: This is...
[3:30] Andrew: Wait, are you in...
[3:31] Andrew: You're in New York now?
[3:32] Heather Morris: I'm in New York.
[3:33] Heather Morris: Hey.
[3:34] Heather Morris: I am in New York.
[3:36] Heather Morris: I arrived last night.
[3:38] Andrew: And?
[3:39] Heather Morris: And, in true fashion, the first thing I woke up to was the smell of trash.
[3:43] Andrew: Of course.
[3:45] Heather Morris: But I got a nice cup of coffee.
[3:46] Heather Morris: I went and took Pilates down the street.
[3:49] Heather Morris: Had to wake myself up a little bit.
[3:51] Andrew: Yeah.
[3:52] Heather Morris: Couldn't get into my front door.
[3:56] Heather Morris: But it's amazing.
[3:57] Heather Morris: And I'm loving the cool weather.
[3:59] Heather Morris: So, I'm from Arizona.
[4:00] Andrew: Are you just by yourself?
[4:02] Heather Morris: It's just me.
[4:03] Heather Morris: Okay.
[4:03] Heather Morris: Just me in my little one bedroom.
[4:05] Heather Morris: I actually do get a one bedroom.
[4:06] Heather Morris: I don't have a studio, which is fantastic.
[4:08] Andrew: Oh, wow.
[4:09] Heather Morris: I can walk across my apartment in eight strides.
[4:13] Andrew: Wow.
[4:14] Andrew: Okay, that's kind of like living in luxury.
[4:16] Heather Morris: I can be like, five, six, seven, eight.
[4:18] Heather Morris: Go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
[4:21] Heather Morris: I am off.
[4:22] Andrew: Wait, we don't need to include this in the episode if you don't want.
[4:25] Andrew: But, like, because I'm in Jersey City.
[4:27] Andrew: I've lived in Manhattan for the past ten years.
[4:29] Andrew: But I just moved here.
[4:30] Heather Morris: Where in the city are you located?
[4:33] Andrew: I'm in the Lower East Side.
[4:34] Heather Morris: So, I'm in, did you say Gramercy?
[4:37] Andrew: Yeah.
[4:38] Heather Morris: Yeah, I'm in Gramercy.
[4:39] Heather Morris: I lived there for two years.
[4:40] Heather Morris: I face, like, a really quiet little park.
[4:44] Andrew: Yeah.
[4:45] Heather Morris: You know, because I'm from the countryside in Arizona.
[4:48] Heather Morris: I need that peace and quiet.
[4:50] Andrew: You know what I mean?
[4:51] Heather Morris: I feel like this episode is already ten times better.
[4:56] Heather Morris: It's like, already, like, we can.
[5:01] Andrew: You just need accents all the time.
[5:03] Heather Morris: You know what I mean?
[5:03] Heather Morris: We just need the accents was what really pulled it over.
[5:06] Andrew: Have you lived in New York ever before?
[5:10] Heather Morris: So, when we workshopped the Beyonce experience, we worked in Brooklyn.
[5:15] Andrew: Casual, yeah.
[5:16] Heather Morris: Casual, a casual moment.
[5:18] Heather Morris: I love Brooklyn.
[5:20] Heather Morris: I prefer Brooklyn.
[5:23] Heather Morris: I had a great time.
[5:24] Heather Morris: It's, you know, it's a little neighborhood-y.
[5:25] Heather Morris: I love that area of town, which is a whole separate town.
[5:29] Heather Morris: But, to me, it feels, like, the same.
[5:31] Andrew: Yeah.
[5:32] Andrew: So, yeah, I lived there.
[5:33] Andrew: I didn't live in New York City proper.
[5:35] Heather Morris: But your, like, literally Lower East Side is, like, very, like, accessible.
[5:39] Heather Morris: You, as accessible as it gets to Brooklyn.
[5:42] Andrew: Yeah, you can just get over there in a second.
[5:45] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[5:45] Heather Morris: Yeah, which I'm excited to go journeying.
[5:50] Andrew: Don't stop.
[5:53] Heather Morris: Just, like, yeah.
[5:54] Heather Morris: Why not?
[5:55] Heather Morris: Journeying, just journeying.
[5:56] Heather Morris: Just journeying.
[5:58] Andrew: Take that midnight train going anywhere.
[6:00] Heather Morris: You're in Brooklyn, you said, sorry.
[6:01] Andrew: I'm in Jersey City.
[6:02] Andrew: I'm looking at-
[6:03] Heather Morris: You're in Jersey City.
[6:04] Heather Morris: I'm, like, literally right on the river looking at Manhattan skyline.
[6:09] Andrew: Oh, pretty.
[6:10] Heather Morris: That's nice.
[6:11] Heather Morris: It's very cute.
[6:13] Heather Morris: Hey.
[6:14] Heather Morris: My girlfriend's from Jersey City.
[6:16] Andrew: Girlfriend.
[6:17] Heather Morris: Shout out to Rachel.
[6:19] Andrew: Hey.
[6:21] Andrew: Well, you're in the damn city.
[6:24] Andrew: You're in the damn Big Apple for a very exciting reason, I'll say it.
[6:29] Heather Morris: 11 to midnight.
[6:30] Heather Morris: I drove past the theatre last night and I was, like, wait a minute.
[6:34] Heather Morris: I know a girl that's going to be in that.
[6:36] Andrew: Yes.
[6:37] Heather Morris: How are you feeling about it?
[6:38] Heather Morris: I'm here to perform on 11 to midnight, which is at the Orpheum Theatre on the Lower East Side where Stomp originated.
[6:46] Heather Morris: So many great iconic shows.
[6:48] Heather Morris: But I'm joining Kost and Mayer, which you guys know from TikTok and Instagram.
[6:53] Heather Morris: They became famous during the pandemic with their fun little dance jingles in the attic of their parents' house.
[6:59] Heather Morris: But they have grown so much.
[7:00] Heather Morris: And they created this production, 11 to Midnight, an off-Broadway show.
[7:05] Heather Morris: Their names are Austin and Meredith Tulenko.
[7:07] Heather Morris: They're fantastic.
[7:08] Heather Morris: They're dancers through and through.
[7:10] Heather Morris: And they've created this beautiful production.
[7:13] Heather Morris: I'm so excited to join.
[7:15] Heather Morris: About seven best friends and sort of their, like, exploration from the hour of 11 to midnight.
[7:22] Heather Morris: And just, like, the reflection of, like, their year and their goals.
[7:27] Andrew: Yeah.
[7:28] Andrew: Oh, my gosh.
[7:29] Andrew: So what character are you playing in this?
[7:31] Heather Morris: I play the roommate.
[7:32] Heather Morris: She doesn't have an official name.
[7:35] Andrew: You should name her.
[7:36] Heather Morris: Yeah, let's name her.
[7:37] Heather Morris: Tell me, like, her vibe, what's, like, her personality, and we'll get a name.
[7:41] Heather Morris: Sorry.
[7:42] Heather Morris: Sorry, I have to look pretty for this.
[7:45] Heather Morris: Of course.
[7:45] Heather Morris: I was like, wait, she's not pretty.
[7:47] Heather Morris: This is weird.
[7:51] Heather Morris: Okay, what's the character's vibe?
[7:53] Heather Morris: She is the roommate of Meredith's character.
[7:57] Heather Morris: And she's very, like, fun, fancy-free, supportive of Meredith.
[8:04] Heather Morris: Meredith and her husband slash fiance in the show, which is Austin, are sort of, like, struggling and discovering, like, how to come back together.
[8:15] Heather Morris: And so she's just there as a support system.
[8:19] Heather Morris: But also kind of goes through her own moment of, like, she is trying to find self-love.
[8:25] Heather Morris: And I think embraces it by the very end.
[8:28] Andrew: Hmm.
[8:31] Andrew: And that name, the name could truly be anything.
[8:35] Heather Morris: Okay.
[8:37] Heather Morris: That's the thing about names.
[8:39] Heather Morris: Have you kind of, like, considered, like, what the name could be?
[8:43] Heather Morris: You haven't landed on a name yourself?
[8:45] Heather Morris: No, I'm, like, I'm sort of thinking Lindsley.
[8:50] Heather Morris: But that's such a great name.
[8:52] Heather Morris: Lindsley.
[8:53] Heather Morris: I love.
[8:55] Heather Morris: And Lindsley is kind of, like, a roommate name, actually.
[8:57] Heather Morris: Okay, but she's, like, embracing.
[8:59] Heather Morris: So, Embracica.
[9:01] Heather Morris: I'm just kidding.
[9:03] Heather Morris: Embracica.
[9:04] Heather Morris: Embracica.
[9:05] Heather Morris: It's crazy.
[9:06] Heather Morris: Embracica.
[9:09] Heather Morris: It sounds like a Harry Potter.
[9:12] Andrew: Yeah, like you're, like, casting a spell.
[9:14] Heather Morris: Embracica.
[9:15] Heather Morris: Embracica.
[9:17] Heather Morris: I'm going to go on an ADHD tangent, but I discovered my drag queen name the other night.
[9:25] Andrew: And?
[9:26] Heather Morris: It's Peaches and Queens.
[9:28] Andrew: Peaches and Queens.
[9:31] Heather Morris: Wait, I hate to already put, like, a hole into it, but, like, wouldn't Peaches and Queens kind of, like, be, like, a drag duo?
[9:38] Heather Morris: I would imagine.
[9:39] Heather Morris: I'm saying, like, maybe my pronouns are they them.
[9:41] Andrew: Oh, you contain multitudes.
[9:43] Heather Morris: I contain multitudes.
[9:45] Heather Morris: They are they them.
[9:47] Heather Morris: And there are many facets to Peaches and Queens.
[9:49] Andrew: Yes.
[9:51] Andrew: As with you.
[9:53] Heather Morris: As with me.
[9:55] Heather Morris: I love to break into random, apparently ADHD moments, but also voices.
[10:01] Andrew: Okay, so let's go back to Lindsley.
[10:03] Heather Morris: Let's go back to Lindsley.
[10:04] Heather Morris: Lindsley, okay, so, Lindsley, in the show, she has a big number.
[10:10] Andrew: What are you doing during the show?
[10:14] Heather Morris: Like, you have a big number, solo number.
[10:16] Heather Morris: What are you doing?
[10:18] Heather Morris: Yeah, so each character has their own moment of, like, self-discovery.
[10:20] Andrew: Okay.
[10:22] Heather Morris: And she does have a solo, which is more contemporary performative, which I'm very excited for, because you guys all really know me for, like, jazz and jazz funk and, like, sort of commercial hip hop.
[10:32] Heather Morris: But I'm doing, like, a really nice, beautiful self-expression piece.
[10:38] Heather Morris: Lindsley's doing that.
[10:40] Heather Morris: Yes.
[10:42] Heather Morris: Well, of course I have to say I, because I am Lindsley.
[10:44] Heather Morris: And I'm doing all my acting prep.
[10:46] Heather Morris: Kat's out of the bag.
[10:48] Heather Morris: And Meisner prepping.
[10:50] Heather Morris: I will be playing the role of Lindsley, yes.
[10:52] Andrew: Okay, so, I'm going to repeat something that I said in the last conversation that we had.
[10:58] Andrew: And you are going to laugh just as much as you did the first time.
[11:02] Heather Morris: Even more, maybe.
[11:04] Andrew: And, Lindsley Cass, my theory is that Ryan Murphy put a chip into all of you in 2009 that activated in the past year that would program all of you to have the desire to go on Broadway or off Broadway.
[11:22] Heather Morris: Confirm, deny.
[11:27] Heather Morris: Was that a good laugh?
[11:29] Heather Morris: I hope it was.
[11:31] Heather Morris: There was a glitch with the Zoom that I didn't hear it, but I did see it.
[11:33] Andrew: Oh, I blocked it out?
[11:35] Heather Morris: So you need to do like a lower register laugh.
[11:41] Heather Morris: And there we go. There we go. We got it. I think we got it. Yeah.
[11:43] Andrew: Okay. Okay. Okay. Good. It didn't, it didn't, um, what is, what does it do when it like freaks it out?
[11:49] Heather Morris: Um, yeah.
[11:51] Heather Morris: That, I feel like that gives Ryan Murphy more of a Godplex, God complex than he already has.
[11:59] Andrew: Yeah.
[12:01] Heather Morris: That's crazy, but also quite possibly could have happened.
[12:05] Andrew: Yeah.
[12:07] Andrew: Because what are the odds?
[12:09] Heather Morris: What are the odds that we're all here at the same time?
[12:11] Andrew: That you're all here.
[12:13] Heather Morris: Was there a day, was there like a day on set that you were like, oh, that's weird. Like my arm.
[12:17] Heather Morris: Day of uncertainty?
[12:19] Andrew: Yeah. They were like, oh.
[12:21] Heather Morris: Oh, that's.
[12:23] Heather Morris: And everybody was like, my arm, what's going on?
[12:25] Andrew: Yeah.
[12:25] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[12:27] Heather Morris: The only day I can recall was walking on sunshine when, um, Jenna and I both, we were doing lots of hierography and swinging our necks and I could not move my neck the next day.
[12:35] Andrew: So maybe he took that opportunity to, when I went to sleep that night, have his little, his little minion come in my room and bend my neck.
[12:45] Heather Morris: Hey.
[12:47] Heather Morris: And there was, he was like, actually, I know just the number to do this after.
[12:53] Andrew: But why 2026? You know what I mean?
[12:55] Heather Morris: It's so, it's, it's so crazy.
[12:57] Heather Morris: Um, but like you, you saw everybody else and you were like, I want to get in on this or what? It just like kind of like happened.
[13:07] Heather Morris: It just kind of happened.
[13:08] Heather Morris: It just kind of came out of nowhere.
[13:10] Heather Morris: And it was such a blessing because, um, I was sort of like on the brink of, maybe I'm just not sure about this industry.
[13:25] Heather Morris: Like maybe I'm just not sure I'm going to keep going.
[13:29] Heather Morris: Um, and, and not in like, I actually felt like peace with it.
[13:37] Heather Morris: Um, and this, I'm not, I'm actually not talking about just specifically, like, I'm trying to be on Broadway.
[13:43] Heather Morris: It was, it was, I am unsure if I'm going to continue acting.
[13:48] Heather Morris: And, and I explained it with this, like to the normal average person, they're like, well, like why, you know, you're talented, but I'm like, imagine if you are submitting your resume and you're doing interviews for like 10 years.
[14:07] Heather Morris: Okay. And you're giving all these interviews and you're just not getting yeses.
[14:11] Heather Morris: Like everybody likes you.
[14:13] Heather Morris: They love you.
[14:14] Heather Morris: They want you on their, their team, but they're like, oh, unfortunately the team says no.
[14:19] Heather Morris: And you're like, either I let go and I feel good about my life or I just like keep sort of feeling the question of like, why?
[14:27] Heather Morris: And then I was literally in the midst of like journaling this because I journal a lot.
[14:33] Heather Morris: I like to journal, um, you know, sort of just to connect the dots in life and like understand why I make decisions or like, it helps me get from A to B.
[14:39] Heather Morris: And I was, I was just learning journaling about this.
[14:43] Heather Morris: Um, I'm not going to show you my journal because that's personal.
[14:49] Andrew: I wasn't going to ask to see it for the record.
[14:49] Heather Morris: I was like, wait, actually, let's look at it for the record.
[14:53] Heather Morris: Can we just, let's clip it too for social.
[14:55] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[14:57] Heather Morris: I feel like shit today.
[14:59] Heather Morris: Um, I, yeah.
[15:01] Heather Morris: So I was sort of, I was like, I think I might.
[15:05] Heather Morris: And there's actually, what's funny about that is I'm always like, I'm scared to write it because if I write it, then it's real.
[15:11] Heather Morris: Then it's real.
[15:13] Heather Morris: And that time I wrote it, it kind of felt like, actually, I could be at peace with this.
[15:18] Heather Morris: Like if I write this, I'm okay with this.
[15:21] Heather Morris: I could put this down and move on.
[15:24] Heather Morris: And then this opportunity came up.
[15:27] Andrew: So long story long, that just felt, it just came about at such a beautiful moment.
[15:30] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[15:31] Heather Morris: That I felt so blessed.
[15:33] Andrew: I love it.
[15:34] Andrew: And like, also, like, you've done literally, we just talked about this the other day, you've done so much in your career that it's like, it's so difficult to like put you into a box that like all the things that you've done.
[15:44] Heather Morris: Just like doing the podcast, Bystanders.
[15:46] Heather Morris: I'm talking about voicing a mammoth in Ice Age.
[15:55] Andrew: Come on, lest we forget.
[15:58] Heather Morris: Directed by Harmony Corrine.
[16:01] Andrew: Directed by Spring Breakers. Directed by Harmony Corrine.
[16:03] Heather Morris: Spring Breakers. Come on now.
[16:05] Heather Morris: Wait.
[16:06] Heather Morris: We watched that in college.
[16:08] Heather Morris: Like that was, it was, the class was like, movies about women directed by men.
[16:18] Andrew: And that was the movie that we were watching one week.
[16:21] Heather Morris: That's an interesting choice by your professor.
[16:24] Andrew: Oh, yeah.
[16:25] Andrew: It was like, I was the only guy in the class.
[16:27] Andrew: And it was, yeah, I don't know.
[16:30] Heather Morris: Was it, the class was called movies by women?
[16:33] Andrew: No, it was movies about women directed by men.
[16:37] Heather Morris: Directed by men.
[16:39] Heather Morris: It was like looking at how men.
[16:41] Andrew: Portray women.
[16:42] Heather Morris: Portray women.
[16:43] Heather Morris: The lens that they portray women through.
[16:45] Andrew: I don't know if Spring Breakers was positively received by the class.
[16:48] Heather Morris: But I remember like watching it at the beginning of the movie.
[16:51] Heather Morris: I was like, wait a minute.
[16:53] Heather Morris: Yeah, Harmony is such a sweet person.
[16:55] Heather Morris: You know when you kind of anticipate somebody's going to be like, just just based on what he likes to, what he likes to film and how he films it.
[17:03] Andrew: Yeah.
[17:04] Heather Morris: Like the grittiness of it.
[17:06] Heather Morris: Oh, he's gritty as hell.
[17:08] Heather Morris: Like a personality.
[17:10] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[17:12] Heather Morris: I was like, this could get interesting.
[17:15] Heather Morris: He was so sweet.
[17:16] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[17:17] Heather Morris: Like, such a nice guy.
[17:19] Heather Morris: We met, I think it was like a cafeteria while we were filming, like a church.
[17:25] Heather Morris: We went and got lunch.
[17:27] Andrew: Because you're a church girl in the movie.
[17:29] Heather Morris: Because I'm a church girl.
[17:31] Heather Morris: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[17:32] Heather Morris: I'm in a dress and she has one cross-eyed.
[17:35] Heather Morris: And you actually couldn't quite see it on the film, the one cross-eyed, which maybe you could, but she was a cross-eyed girlie.
[17:38] Andrew: That's so good.
[17:39] Andrew: And then what was it like on set of Ice Age?
[17:42] Heather Morris: What was it like on set of Ice Age?
[17:44] Heather Morris: It was so fun.
[17:47] Heather Morris: It was very easy.
[17:48] Heather Morris: It was really cold.
[17:50] Andrew: Was it cold?
[17:51] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[17:52] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[17:52] Heather Morris: I'm being stupid.
[17:54] Heather Morris: They turned the air down.
[17:56] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[17:57] Heather Morris: They were like, oh, she's an actor.
[17:59] Heather Morris: Let's see how she can handle this.
[18:01] Andrew: Because I feel like I recall you saying your son's about glee.
[18:03] Heather Morris: Like, it's not really kind of like their thing.
[18:05] Heather Morris: They don't care.
[18:07] Heather Morris: No, they refuse to watch it.
[18:09] Andrew: Do they care about Ice Age?
[18:11] Heather Morris: Oh, yeah.
[18:12] Heather Morris: Oh, yeah.
[18:13] Heather Morris: They're like, my mom was on Ice Age.
[18:15] Heather Morris: Like, that's their defining moment.
[18:19] Andrew: Yeah.
[18:20] Andrew: Hey, playing a mammoth.
[18:22] Andrew: I mean, come on.
[18:26] Heather Morris: Next to, next to, was it Nicki Minaj?
[18:31] Andrew: Yeah.
[18:32] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[18:33] Heather Morris: Well, bad news, Nicki Minaj.
[18:35] Heather Morris: But yeah.
[18:36] Heather Morris: But hey, at the time.
[18:39] Heather Morris: Yes.
[18:40] Heather Morris: Yes.
[18:41] Heather Morris: But so many other iconic actors on that film.
[18:44] Heather Morris: And it was just so cool.
[18:45] Heather Morris: It was such a quick stunt, too.
[18:47] Heather Morris: Like, I came in and out.
[18:48] Heather Morris: No other actors were there, which is so fun and interesting about voiceover acting.
[18:51] Heather Morris: Because it's just you alone sort of just saying lines like you give them a one, two, three different versions, you move on kind of thing.
[18:58] Andrew: I feel like I recall like maybe like a year or two ago, you did like sing a song for like, was it a movie, an animated movie?
[19:08] Heather Morris: Yes, it was called From Ashes.
[19:15] Heather Morris: And well, the song was called From Ashes.
[19:22] Heather Morris: This was a film that Matthew Morrison was actually starring in.
[19:25] Heather Morris: And then they brought the song at the end.
[19:29] Andrew: What's your vibe with singing right now?
[19:31] Heather Morris: What's my vibe with singing right now?
[19:33] Heather Morris: Um, I don't know.
[19:34] Heather Morris: I feel like I'm, I'm an oaky singer.
[19:36] Andrew: Like, I don't know.
[19:38] Heather Morris: Okay.
[19:39] Heather Morris: But you said this last time, you praise me for my singing and you felt like I did a great job.
[19:44] Heather Morris: And I really appreciate that.
[19:46] Heather Morris: I am working so hard to, I don't know.
[19:49] Heather Morris: We actually didn't talk about this last time.
[19:51] Heather Morris: I don't want this to be like a super deep episode, but it's gonna be anyway.
[19:56] Heather Morris: So sorry about it, audience.
[19:59] Heather Morris: Of course, the accent kind of like broke that, that wall.
[20:02] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[20:03] Heather Morris: Now we're here.
[20:05] Heather Morris: Um, when my dad passed away, in, I was in the eighth grade, I had just auditioned for choir to go into high school.
[20:12] Heather Morris: I was passionate about it.
[20:14] Heather Morris: I had been in choir from a young age.
[20:16] Heather Morris: Um, and when my dad passed away, I bailed on choir and I went straight to dance.
[20:20] Heather Morris: Now dance, like literally has saved my life.
[20:23] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[20:24] Heather Morris: At age, there was times where I felt like I was going to harm myself, but I felt like dance just really was there for me.
[20:30] Heather Morris: However, as an adult, I'm sort of like mending the, um, mending what I lost with choir.
[20:37] Heather Morris: And I even feel like with glee, like I sort of gained it back, but I didn't get that opportunity that I wish I would have had to like really train my voice and done, done a better job.
[20:47] Heather Morris: So with all that said, like, I'm really trying, I'm trying to do like, you know, I was doing voice lessons for a while.
[20:53] Heather Morris: Um, and I'm just trying to get confident because I have, I get, um, like stage fright.
[21:02] Heather Morris: I get performance anxiety with singing.
[21:05] Heather Morris: And I don't feel, of course we all feel confident in the car.
[21:08] Heather Morris: I'm like, Oh, everybody feels confident in the car.
[21:11] Andrew: Um, but no.
[21:11] Heather Morris: And I think that Eleventh Midnight, I know that you're not singing in this show, but I think that this is the right stepping stone to, to get you come on singing on the, on the damn Broadway.
[21:24] Heather Morris: On the Broadway.
[21:25] Heather Morris: We're, we're, we're manifesting.
[21:27] Andrew: Yes.
[21:28] Andrew: Yeah.
[21:29] Heather Morris: All the iconic singers.
[21:30] Heather Morris: I just even feel like the ancestry of the Orpheum will give me the gumption that I need in order to audition for, um, who, who am I auditioning for?
[21:42] Andrew: Um, I think that they're gonna, I'm hearing whispers of a, um, Spring Breakers, the musical directed by Harmony Corrine.
[21:53] Heather Morris: Okay.
[21:54] Heather Morris: And, um.
[21:55] Heather Morris: Music by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
[21:57] Heather Morris: Music by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
[21:58] Heather Morris: And they would love for you to reprise your role.
[22:02] Heather Morris: Okay, because I can beatbox.
[22:04] Heather Morris: So Lin-Manuel is all about, like, rapping.
[22:06] Heather Morris: So I'm down for it.
[22:08] Heather Morris: And I think that, like, this time around, you, your character is going to go on the, on the Spring Breakers trip as well.
[22:12] Andrew: Yeah.
[22:14] Andrew: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
[22:15] Heather Morris: Of course she is.
[22:16] Heather Morris: She's like the little gremlin.
[22:18] Heather Morris: You know, there's, the gremlin's always like the pack of two.
[22:23] Heather Morris: Like, um, in Hercules, the two little guys, what are their names?
[22:25] Andrew: Yeah, it's Pain and Panic.
[22:26] Heather Morris: Yes.
[22:27] Heather Morris: Yes.
[22:28] Heather Morris: I'm a Pain and Panic.
[22:29] Heather Morris: I love.
[22:30] Heather Morris: Um, oh, you know what I wanted to do?
[22:32] Heather Morris: Last time that we talked, I brought up some Glee, a Glee Wiki fact.
[22:36] Heather Morris: And then I went back to the Glee Wiki, Heather Morris Page, and I was like, there's so much here that I would love to kind of put on your radar.
[22:44] Andrew: Who do you think your dream co-star is on the Glee Wiki?
[22:51] Heather Morris: Like you said, who's your dream co-star?
[22:53] Heather Morris: Do you recall?
[22:54] Heather Morris: Who did I say it was at the time?
[22:56] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[22:57] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[22:58] Heather Morris: Oh, shit.
[23:00] Heather Morris: What year was this that I said this?
[23:02] Heather Morris: Does it say?
[23:04] Andrew: It doesn't say.
[23:05] Heather Morris: Who would my dream star be?
[23:07] Heather Morris: Wow.
[23:08] Heather Morris: I really don't know.
[23:10] Heather Morris: I mean, right now, like, I want to say Whitney Houston.
[23:14] Heather Morris: Gosh, there's so many.
[23:16] Heather Morris: Madonna.
[23:18] Heather Morris: Um, those are all dreams because of mine.
[23:22] Heather Morris: Who did I say?
[23:24] Andrew: I think that on the same level of Whitney Houston and Madonna, it's Dakota Fanning.
[23:30] Heather Morris: Oh, how cute.
[23:31] Heather Morris: How cute.
[23:32] Heather Morris: I thought this was really fun.
[23:34] Heather Morris: It says, these facts are insane.
[23:36] Heather Morris: Every Sunday, Heather and her roommate go to a local coffee shop and sit there for an hour with an organic homemade pastry and a cup of coffee.
[23:40] Heather Morris: Is that true?
[23:41] Heather Morris: Yes.
[23:42] Heather Morris: It's Sunday.
[23:43] Heather Morris: Yes.
[23:44] Heather Morris: Yes.
[23:45] Heather Morris: Are you going?
[23:47] Andrew: No.
[23:48] Heather Morris: Oh my God.
[23:49] Heather Morris: No, I don't even think it's Sunday.
[23:51] Heather Morris: It was in North Hollywood.
[23:53] Heather Morris: And I used to get a large iced coffee with vanilla and bran muffin and we used to sit and eat.
[24:01] Heather Morris: It was like on the corner of Lancashire and wasn't Riverside Magnolia.
[24:05] Andrew: Yeah.
[24:06] Heather Morris: It was like a popular coffee shop for dancers.
[24:09] Heather Morris: We used to go there every morning and drink coffee.
[24:12] Andrew: How random that Glee Wiki that they like quoted.
[24:15] Heather Morris: Glee Wiki knows this.
[24:16] Heather Morris: Um, Heather attended the Twilight Saga Eclipse premiere and is Team Stuart, which I thought was interesting.
[24:25] Heather Morris: I wait.
[24:28] Heather Morris: As in like, I'm assuming Kristen Stewart.
[24:32] Andrew: Wait, okay.
[24:34] Heather Morris: Wait.
[24:36] Heather Morris: Oh, I have a really bad memory.
[24:40] Heather Morris: In life, like, I don't think I can have conversation like, Oh my God, do you remember when we did this one thing and we were here and you talk to this person and you said this one thing.
[24:51] Heather Morris: And I'm like, I literally I yeah, I know in my head.
[24:54] Heather Morris: Yes, but I honestly like inside.
[24:57] Heather Morris: I'm like, I have no idea what the fuck.
[25:00] Andrew: Are you hating that I'm bringing up the.
[25:03] Heather Morris: I have no memory.
[25:05] Andrew: No, this is fun.
[25:06] Andrew: I'm like, I'm not drunk.
[25:08] Heather Morris: Oh, it does say and Heather was visibly very drunk when she said this.
[25:14] Heather Morris: I have no memory of going to this this premiere.
[25:18] Andrew: This is me testing your memory.
[25:21] Heather Morris: Um, do you hate this me going through facts about you?
[25:25] Heather Morris: And no, no, I honestly I have no shame.
[25:29] Heather Morris: I have zero shame in life.
[25:31] Heather Morris: I, and I, I'm like, I hope they hate me for that the fact that I don't remember, but I did recently go back and watch Twilight because of all of the like, internet, not the memes but like the throwback.
[25:42] Heather Morris: Yeah, calling Twilight.
[25:44] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[25:45] Heather Morris: And I had to force myself to sit down and watch it like I had to force myself because I wanted to turn it off so many times and I'm so sorry because I know so much effort went into that movie.
[25:53] Heather Morris: And please don't hate me and don't quote me.
[25:57] Andrew: Oh my God.
[25:58] Heather Morris: Wow.
[26:00] Andrew: Do you think the Twihards are going to be after you?
[26:02] Heather Morris: Maybe.
[26:03] Heather Morris: That's what they call themselves.
[26:05] Heather Morris: Twihards.
[26:06] Heather Morris: Um, I was more Team Jacob.
[26:09] Heather Morris: That was me in the books, specifically in the books.
[26:12] Heather Morris: I was like Team Jacob.
[26:14] Heather Morris: But I think that like you saying you're Team Stewart, comedy genius.
[26:17] Heather Morris: That's hilarious to me.
[26:19] Heather Morris: Team Stewart.
[26:21] Heather Morris: It says that you're against puppy mills.
[26:25] Heather Morris: You're still against puppy mills, I imagine.
[26:27] Heather Morris: Still against puppy mills.
[26:29] Andrew: Confirmed.
[26:30] Heather Morris: Confirmed.
[26:31] Heather Morris: Um, in an interview on Good Morning LA, Heather said, my mother called me crying one day and was like, Heather, I don't like that you make out with everybody.
[26:41] Heather Morris: So I went to see Ryan and I asked him, am I a slut or what?
[26:46] Heather Morris: And he said, well, you just like to make out.
[26:49] Andrew: Somebody should get that tattooed on their body.
[26:51] Heather Morris: Did you see the one about Santana when she has that speech to Quinn before she slaps her?
[26:58] Heather Morris: Wait.
[27:00] Heather Morris: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[27:01] Heather Morris: The fight.
[27:02] Heather Morris: And in the small font, it says stop the violence.
[27:05] Heather Morris: Stop. Stop the violence.
[27:07] Heather Morris: In the middle of the tattoo.
[27:09] Heather Morris: This right there, this quote, that is a tattoo.
[27:12] Heather Morris: Somebody please get it.
[27:14] Heather Morris: Darren Criss has a cool crush on her.
[27:17] Heather Morris: I don't know if that means.
[27:19] Heather Morris: Darren Criss, he did tell me once he had a crush on me.
[27:22] Heather Morris: I remember that.
[27:23] Heather Morris: I'm sure he still doesn't, but he did at one point.
[27:26] Heather Morris: And I think that is enough to point out.
[27:29] Andrew: Right?
[27:30] Heather Morris: Why would you think that he would stop having a crush on you?
[27:32] Heather Morris: Because you're both married.
[27:34] Heather Morris: I don't know.
[27:36] Heather Morris: Because, like, who knows?
[27:38] Heather Morris: I got old.
[27:40] Heather Morris: I got wrinkles.
[27:42] Andrew: This is a personal question.
[27:44] Andrew: I'm kind of, like, leaving it all out in the field right now.
[27:46] Heather Morris: I bite my nails really bad.
[27:48] Andrew: It says that you also bite your nails.
[27:50] Heather Morris: Do you still bite your nails?
[27:52] Heather Morris: Not anymore.
[27:53] Heather Morris: How did you stop?
[27:54] Heather Morris: But I do trim them.
[27:56] Andrew: I'm the opposite of, like, a coke addict.
[27:58] Andrew: I bite my pinky nails only.
[28:01] Heather Morris: Oh.
[28:02] Heather Morris: I have somehow honed in my addiction to biting my nails.
[28:05] Heather Morris: And I don't do it a lot.
[28:07] Heather Morris: Like, I don't do it until they bleed, but I bite my pinky nail.
[28:10] Andrew: That's the worst.
[28:11] Heather Morris: And I just allow that.
[28:13] Heather Morris: It's like a little bit of drug, and then I'm done.
[28:16] Andrew: I know.
[28:17] Andrew: It's really bad.
[28:19] Heather Morris: You still bite your fingernails.
[28:21] Andrew: Yeah, I do.
[28:23] Heather Morris: Stop it.
[28:24] Heather Morris: I've tried, like, the polish, the no-bite polish.
[28:27] Andrew: That doesn't work.
[28:28] Heather Morris: No.
[28:29] Heather Morris: I don't know.
[28:30] Heather Morris: I just, like, whatever.
[28:32] Andrew: This is a larger conversation.
[28:34] Heather Morris: Just schedule to trim them, like, once a week.
[28:36] Andrew: Right.
[28:37] Andrew: Anything else here?
[28:39] Heather Morris: She locked herself out of a hotel room naked when she was 10.
[28:43] Heather Morris: She says it's a long story.
[28:45] Andrew: It is a long story.
[28:47] Heather Morris: Do you need the long story?
[28:49] Andrew: If you don't want to share it, I'm curious.
[28:51] Heather Morris: The fact that it says on Glee Wiki, she says it's a long story.
[28:54] Heather Morris: I was 10 years old in Cancun.
[28:57] Heather Morris: We were staying at the Ritz-Carlton.
[29:00] Heather Morris: And we were downstairs.
[29:01] Heather Morris: I have two older sisters, so there are three of us and my parents.
[29:05] Heather Morris: We're all down at the pool slash the beach, hanging out all day.
[29:09] Heather Morris: And I told my family, I was like, I am going to go upstairs and shower.
[29:13] Heather Morris: They're like, okay, great.
[29:15] Heather Morris: We were sharing.
[29:16] Heather Morris: We had two separate rooms, but sharing the inner door.
[29:19] Heather Morris: Check and chill.
[29:21] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[29:22] Heather Morris: And I, oh, I had told my, I think I had told my sisters that I was going up, but not my parents.
[29:27] Heather Morris: So I went upstairs.
[29:29] Heather Morris: I was taking, I was about to take a shower.
[29:31] Heather Morris: I got naked.
[29:33] Heather Morris: And then I realized, oh, oh, my gosh, my parents don't know I'm going to take a shower.
[29:37] Heather Morris: Or, you know, like, what if they think I was preparing, I was being a good little girl.
[29:43] Heather Morris: And so I started to write a note and say like, hey, I'm in the shower if you knock, just so you know.
[29:48] Heather Morris: But I decided to do that naked, not with a towel.
[29:51] Heather Morris: I didn't cover myself up.
[29:53] Heather Morris: I just was like, oh, well, I'll sneak really quick and I'll set it down on the doorstep.
[29:58] Heather Morris: And then I set it down and I turned around and the door closed on my nose, in my face.
[30:05] Heather Morris: I was at the end of a hallway, like the very end.
[30:08] Heather Morris: So it was like hallway.
[30:30] Heather Morris: She refused to answer me or look at me. She wouldn't give me any eye contact at all.
[30:33] David Erickson: I would be so terrified to engage at all with a naked ten-year-old.
[30:38] Heather Morris: I don't think I could see anything. I think I was covered up so much like because I was behind a doorway. I'll show you.
[30:46] David Erickson: Imagine.
[30:48] Heather Morris: I was like this.
[30:50] David Erickson: Hi!
[30:53] Heather Morris: I need like trying to point to that I needed a towel.
[30:58] David Erickson: And she just pretended like I was a ghost and she couldn't see me.
[31:02] Heather Morris: She pretended not to see. Waited for 10 minutes what felt like eternity and my sisters finally came down the hallway, spotted me and broke down in laughter and then I of course my tears just streamed. I was so upset traumatized.
[31:17] David Erickson: That does sound traumatizing. I will say the way that you were able to recount so many details of that story tells me especially as someone that said terrible—
[31:30] Heather Morris: I don't remember things. It was a core memory.
[31:32] David Erickson: It's core memory. It's replaying in a I'll say probably unhealthy way.
[31:38] Heather Morris: In an unhealthy way. I don't look to it as negative anymore. I look to it as a funny thing because you know I was 10. If my 10-year-old did this it would be funny. It would be such a funny little thing that like oh that's so sweet that he thought to like wrote a note but then also didn't think about like covering himself up or bringing the key with him or just closing the latch to make sure.
[32:03] David Erickson: Do something. Yeah. Oh my god. You worked with a cat on the hit box show Glee named Lord Tuffington. I want to know are you a cat person or a dog person?
[32:16] Heather Morris: I'm a both person.
[32:17] David Erickson: Both.
[32:18] Heather Morris: I'm a cat dog person. I'm a dog cat person.
[32:20] David Erickson: I would say I would say I'm the same. I didn't think that I was a cat person until my boyfriend and I moved in together with his cat. But I was like oh I'm obsessed with this thing.
[32:32] Heather Morris: It's an acquired taste. It's like wine or beer. You're like yeah god what does this? And then you live with one and and you just you your heart breaks open and you fall into the portal of cathood and you love it.
[32:49] David Erickson: Of cathood. And Lord Tuffington was an incredible actor to work opposite.
[32:56] Heather Morris: Excuse me. Lord Tuffington was particular. Lord Tuffington was a particular actor. He decided when he wanted to act and when he didn't. And I think that worked for him. It was like very understated acting. Right? It almost matched Britney's energy. It was like very understated. He just you know he was like existing in the world.
[33:20] David Erickson: Who was this cat? Did he have prior credits?
[33:24] Heather Morris: Oh god I don't remember. I'm sorry.
[33:27] David Erickson: I'm testing.
[33:30] Heather Morris: I don't remember this cat from 15 years ago in his credits. Wait let me go to the line and talk about his credits. He was in just kidding.
[33:40] David Erickson: Oh wow. He played the titular cat in Cats.
[33:45] Heather Morris: Yes he did. He did. And he had a really good like upper leg extension. He could do a nice tilt a leg tilt.
[33:52] David Erickson: Great. And then as we talked about the other day Lady Lady Tuffington was not as friendly or as positive.
[34:02] Heather Morris: Lady Tuffington was a very fierce cat. She was a fierce cat. She did not want to be on set. She absolutely did not want to be there. She didn't like me. And I will say like that kind of hurts my feelings because my husband calls me the animal whisperer. He's like you talk to animals like Snow White does. You like I—
[34:25] David Erickson: Eliza Thornberry. Yeah come on.
[34:27] Heather Morris: Like I'm a psycho. I'll talk to like insects. I just am a psycho. And so it was quite it was quite shocking to me that Lady Tuffington did not like me. She did not want to be shoved in that bag. I mean who doesn't. Who wants to be put in a bag.
[34:45] David Erickson: Who wants to be shoved into a bag.
[34:47] Heather Morris: Into a bag between Sam and I when I bring her out of the bag. But she was not having it. She was like—
[34:53] David Erickson: Yeah. And they kept on the episode. It was iconic.
[34:57] Heather Morris: Yeah. Yeah. She was definitely possessed in most of the scenes. I felt like there was satana inside of Lady Tuffington.
[35:06] David Erickson: Did they get along Lord and Lady.
[35:08] Heather Morris: They were never together unless if they were—
[35:10] David Erickson: No they were.
[35:11] Heather Morris: One scene where they were together right.
[35:13] David Erickson: There's like yeah because because Lady was introduced in four and then yeah there were like a few episodes where it was like the two of them on bed on the bed together.
[35:24] Heather Morris: If I recall wasn't there a scene where they were like licking each other.
[35:27] David Erickson: Yes yes.
[35:29] Heather Morris: What they did was they put like a clear screen between them and then they put food on the screen and then they were licking licking the food off of the screen. That's how that worked. But I think they sat on opposite sides of the rooms because as you know cats are particular about each other about people.
[35:50] David Erickson: Yeah.
[35:50] Heather Morris: You or they can. And I don't remember if there was like a battle of the sexes while they were there but I don't think that they vibed.
[35:58] David Erickson: Okay. All right. Great. I'm glad. Lord.
[36:02] Heather Morris: I could tell you were concerned about that.
[36:04] David Erickson: I was like really concerned. I was also thinking like how did they make them kiss. And I'm glad that we finally—
[36:09] Heather Morris: Movie magic screen.
[36:12] David Erickson: We're going to do a faux Glackett competition because we just we did record us talking about two performances from the hit box show Glee. I say a little prayer.
[36:27] Heather Morris: Iconic.
[36:28] David Erickson: Are you telling me it's iconic?
[36:30] Heather Morris: Well, I it is iconic, but you would agree.
[36:33] David Erickson: Well, I it is iconic, but you would agree.
[36:34] Heather Morris: I would agree wholly. I if you had said to me like this will be something that army veterans are going to be recreating that like—
[36:46] David Erickson: Insane.
[36:46] Heather Morris: You know, elderly people are going to be recreating that young teens are going to be creating in like 15, 20 years from now. And loving just the same. I would never have believed you had I been on that set that first day with Naya and Diana and and been doing that dance and you walked in you came from the future. And you were like, Hey, I'm from the future. Guess what's gonna happen? And you showed me a phone and you were like, people are going to be doing this and swiping and I saw hundreds of videos I would have been like, you're out of your mind.
[37:16] David Erickson: It's so, so incredible and so special.
[37:21] Heather Morris: It's so elegant and so beautiful. And so like, it just brings peace to my heart to see it.
[37:29] David Erickson: Yeah, Zach, he choreographed that.
[37:32] Heather Morris: Zach Woodley choreographed this. Yes.
[37:33] David Erickson: It's so incredible. The entire thing from start to finish. It's a quick performance too.
[37:38] Heather Morris: Yes. And if you told Zach, you're like, Zach, you're just so talented. He would roll his eyes. He took no compliments. He took zero compliments. He would just laugh at you and walk away. Like, yeah, it was it was such great choreography through all of it. I mean, all the things that we did. I just like we're so lucky.
[37:57] David Erickson: Yeah. And you knew that like Unholy Trinity that was this is huge. This is kind of bigger.
[38:05] Heather Morris: At the moment, I, I thought I was I thought I was the star of the show. You know, I mean, like they brought me in that day like, Oh, she's gonna break this. She's gonna break the TVs. Everybody's gonna fall in love with her. As anyone would at the age of whatever I was 21, 22. Yeah, I think I was 22 when that show started. But I've spoken as many times but like I was I was in the middle of like starting acting classes. And I was really trying to break into the industry. So that day was just so big and so special to me. Because I just assumed that like I was a star that day and that like all the stars aligned, which they did. They did. They did. It just like, for me, it felt so much bigger. And I just like, I had I can recall. Again, it was a core memory for me because I I can see that moment in time. So specifically in my head, like I can recall the things I remember, like walking on to set meeting Naya. I remember like in the middle of takes, we were listening to Matthew Morrison kind of like sing under his breath. And I looked at him and I was like, you're the best singer I've ever heard. And he was like, he giggled and sort of laughing. He's like, Oh, thank you. Like, very understated. Like, I didn't know these people were icons on Broadway. I didn't know that they came from this background. Yeah. So that I remember like him, he was so sweet and so kind. And then I remember like, the sound guy with the boom. And I was like, Oh, can I touch it? Like, that's so fun. Wow, a boom mic. Wow. And the cameraman and it just felt also surreal. Yeah, at that time.
[40:02] Heather Morris: It's, it's such a I don't know, we talked about the other day, but like the fact that like, Macbeth, the witches from Macbeth, the fact that the three witches that it's like, that that's kind of the standard, I feel. Three is the lucky number. You always see them. Like Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus, Powerpuff Girls, Mean Girls, Unholy Trinity. And here we are. It always happens in threes. All of it. Always happens in threes. It's the universal number for power.
[40:28] David Erickson: Oh, I wanted to readdress this as well. You shed some light the other day on the jacket.
[40:38] Heather Morris: Wait, I'm sorry, Andrew, you keep talking about the other day. And I'm I care. I think it's the first time we're talking. This is this is our first time. First time we're talking. So I did we did we meet up in a dream? Like, I don't know where you came from.
[41:00] David Erickson: It was very, it was very real to me. It was it was so real to me. You were there. I was there.
[41:02] Heather Morris: I was there.
[41:02] David Erickson: Yeah. And we talked about a jacket that you wore in the season three finale, which we talked about in the episode previous to this one. And the jacket. I saw the video you posted about the jacket with your friend, and everybody was concerned on why I was wearing a jacket. Do you have what is your what is your response to the jacket?
[41:28] Heather Morris: I think you were you like we're wondering, like, you had mentioned maybe I put it on because she was upset that you everybody thought that she was upset that she didn't move on. Because she was a graduate college. She wasn't graduating. She got held back. And she was like, doing her depression jacket. Yeah, my protest jacket.
[41:48] David Erickson: That was my depression jacket. Yes. I will say I was definitely salty and, and upset that I didn't move forward. It hurt my heart a little bit. But when I look back at that, like, I don't think there was a protest moment. This wasn't like a protest about like, me moving on. It was freaking cold in the auditorium. It was like 50 degrees. And we wore those Cheerios uniforms every single day. Rain or shine, no matter what. Of course, when the cameras cut, we put on like puppy jackets. But we were always so freaking cold. And we weren't allowed to wear like pants. Like even cheerleaders in Ohio would wear like, um, like a turtleneck alongside neck and maybe like pants underneath. But they were so specific about this Cheerios look, you know, Ryan Murphy's world are so intense, like they're very worked impeccably. That's the way it worked. Like even the hair, the sausage roll hair, like the curl, the one curl sausage roll, um, which we'll go back to, but they were so specific about this role, or this this look that we never got to wear sweatshirts. And it was like, I'm wearing a sweatshirt today. I am wearing this damn jacket. I am so cold. It was slight protest, slight I'm just cold. Meshed it.
[43:11] David Erickson: I'm so glad that we have an answer. Finally, we can kind of like lay that to rest now.
[43:16] Heather Morris: Yeah, yeah. Why was Brittany wearing a jacket in the season three finale? That was a nice blue balls build up.
[43:21] David Erickson: Yeah, in 2012. We're here. That would be 14 years later. 14 years later, we're we're finally asking the real questions and getting journalism. But wait, let's go back. So this. Did you know about this sausage curl our hair sausage curl? This was kind of like in the dream that I had in our conversation. Okay, we—
[43:47] Heather Morris: Yeah. What do you what do you have to share?
[43:47] David Erickson: I don't know. Sausage curl. Okay. But they like decided what like the first couple days we were there. You know, they when you when you see a cheerleaders ponytail, it's like a high pony, they usually wear a bow. And then they do like tons of curls. But what they wanted was they wanted one little phallic penis sausage curl on our hair. So they would like slick our hair up. They would they would spend time curling each, like a couple little strands. And then they would take a brush. And then they would like, just mesh it together in this nice little sausage curl. And they would look at it like it was icing on a cake. You know, like they would just be like, they would have to do it with all of the girls like all of us. We all had to wear the sausage curl.
[44:34] David Erickson: Yeah. And how long was the the sausage? How was the sausage made? How long did it take?
[44:41] Heather Morris: How long did the sausage take? How long did it bake for? I would say it would bake for like a good 30 minutes to do our hair, maybe 35. Like we were definitely one of the people in the chair to get the sausage curls. Perfect. I know you little did you know little did you know, and I'm just like, it's it's funny to think like in universe that it's like are all of these girls that are cheerleaders at this school waking up extra early, and they all know how to do the hair themselves and going because we didn't have FaceTime at that time. So think about it like we had to get together the day before whatever meeting and we were like, Listen, if you don't get this fucking sausage girl perfect, you're off the squad. You're off the squad. You're off the squad. And like imagine we walked into school and like it was a line this could have been a great bit. It was like a line and we walked into school and Sue Sylvester like looked at each one of us and she was like sausage curl check sausage curl check. So like everybody had to get checked off before they entered the school you couldn't enter it. You couldn't enter without the perfect sausage.
[45:47] Heather Morris: I love um and then we you hate that I'm bringing this up. We talked the other day. We talked the other day in the dream about a favorite Britney hair the season one swoop season two straight down or past that it's just the complete slick back.
[46:07] David Erickson: Oh that's right. I as I look back I definitely loved the swoop. It gave homage to the early 2000s to 2010 um like um hey hey yo yo I don't like your girlfriend. It was a very 2000s angsty swoop. Yeah it was just like Britney like you see it and you're like oh that's Britney for sure. That's that's her yeah I wasn't as big of a fan of the this the slick back that I'm like the her personality is kind of lost with just like full forehead. Do we need to have a therapy session about this? Are you okay?
[46:46] Heather Morris: No I'm just like I saw I saw the season three promotional photos and I was like oh god what are they doing with her? Oh god what happened to her? So honestly the bangs were my only self-expression that I had.
[47:07] David Erickson: Yeah can you even imagine that? That was the only self-expression like looking back to the costumes that you're talking about like I would look around and Amber always got to wear different hair. Yeah at one point I wanted to cut my hair and then Quinn left the Cheerios and she chopped her hair off at the same time and I was like oh I would like to do that. My hair's so bad like so many people got to do so many different like you know cool things. It's like it's like wearing a uniform every day to school like you just have that one thing that was iconic and it was the one thing that I could change. So like I had swoop bangs, I had straight bangs, I had slick back. Yeah but always the sausage curl. Always the sausage curl is the constant.
[47:50] Heather Morris: Yeah and then the other performance that we we watched uh in the dream the other day um was Rehab from uh the pilot of Glee. What are your thoughts about that performance?
[48:04] Heather Morris: Oh gosh all my favorite friends are in there. All the best friends. All the people that I sort of grew up in LA with. I mean you have Harry Harry Shum's wife in there. Shelby. Shelby. Um Michael Riccio's in there dancing with Brittany Parks who's my best friend. She went on tour with us. Um those were the people that I was working with like consistently and I remember visiting set because I had just started uh I just started sort of joining the Cheerios and so I knew that I was doing the Say a Little Prayer. I knew I was doing the single ladies performance. Yeah and so I was I walked onto set that day. I walked over from rehearsal and I like got to go say hi to all of them and I was so bummed that I wasn't in it. I was like I felt like such an odd man out you know and you're like all of your friends are somewhere and you're like but I but I gotta go somewhere you know. But it's so special. I love they're so good. That performance is so incredible and I think that like the stakes are so clearly made as well that it's like this ragtag Glee Club New Directions is like visiting this school watching this incredible rendition of Amy Winehouse rehab that it's like and the way that they do it the choir everything. Um a few months ago I went to a thrift shop here in Jersey City and I saw on the rack I was like that looks a lot like my Glee brain my Glee brain in full force. That looks a lot like the dress that they wore in rehab and I looked at it in the tag it was screen used and I was like how the hell did it get? Isn't that crazy? Why did you not buy it? You have to tell me where it is because I'm gonna go find this. It's a cute dress. I should be wearing it right now you're right. No you just need to buy it. Yeah I just like kind of just like put it in a corner mannequin. I'm actually so fascinated because I wonder if somebody stole it that day from set and took it and then decided 15 years later because you know there's so like I couldn't even take home a Cheerios costume. Oh you don't have one? I don't have one. I wasn't allowed. Yeah. I actually stole. Shh don't tell anybody. I stole the shorter wedding dress you know my wedding dress with the long sleeve that I wear with the boots. Yes so cute. It was a quiet like oh I just won't see you take this moment and I was like and I took it and that was even a big deal. Like we couldn't take anything. They wouldn't let us take anything for the archives. So I'm assuming that somebody stole that. Somebody stole it. I just I think it's so impressive that it made it all the way across the country. All the way to Jersey at a shop that you saw and now you're gonna tell me what it is and I'm gonna find it. And you're gonna go. I'll get it for you. I'll give it to you at stage door. I'll be like hi. A friend of mine her name is Kate. She has a lot of Glee props. I don't know if you've seen like these like resurfaced images of like the the wardrobe photos and everything. Okay yes yes yes I love these. They make me so happy. They're so cute because they're like little moments in time. She has like a lot of props as well. She has. So did she buy the wardrobe photo like references? Yeah she got it like off of eBay. She has Naya's cheerio uniform from season one. How the fuck did she get that? That's a hot ticket item. She has it. I would pay millions of dollars for this.
[51:40] Heather Morris: Oh wait. Hey Kate. I know you're listening. Hey Kate.
[51:43] David Erickson: She's like I'm never giving this up. I'm never giving this up. Never. But that's so cool that she got all those those photo references. Those are really cool. Those were my favorite moments. They're so adorable. Like there's like one with like you and I think like Corey's in the back. It's so cute. That was always really fun to like walk into the wardrobe and seeing like the sort of like reference of what Britney's inspiration would be for like the new like the one when I started getting into the new outfits too. And I was able to sort of dress how I wanted to express. That was really fun to see all the references and the ideas that they came up with. Like the new costumes they'd bring in for me was just like such an exciting moment when Britney got to change and and become like herself and like wear her things. Yeah. Oh my god. It's her looks impeccable. Always. I think my favorite one was the Rachel Berry when she decided she was gonna match or what when when Rachel Berry approached them and asked them to sort of dress like her. I loved when she did that one. That entire plot line. So perfect. Yeah. So impeccably done. Yes. It was definitely like an adjacent Mean Girls where like they cut out the boobs. Yes. In the boobs. And then Britney is like, I'm gonna make it better. And she puts them on her arms. Um, okay, between I say a little prayer and rehab. Which one is which one is better for you? And which one is better for Britney Spears? Conjuring spirit? It's a hard choice. Obviously, I like we said, we loved rehab so much. And we loved the energy and the performance and just seeing that glee club. But I'm gonna have to go with say a little prayer prayer. It's just too iconic to not and it's just too. It's too historical. We take it for granted. Like it's truly like, it's so incredible that we have it. It's like everything is so masterfully done. It's impossible to find any issue with the performance. It's so Yeah, it's an entertainment landmark for sure. Like, I feel like if there was a key map of the entertainment industry, it would have its own little icon. Say a little prayer. Landmark. Landmark. I agree. I don't know if you're being like if you're saying in jest, that is entirely true. I actually think it could be real. Oh my god, I had that I had a picture. Oh my god. In high school. I printed out I like literally think I went to CBS and printed out like a picture of the three of you at the end of I say a little prayer and hid it behind my like pen case in my in my room. And everyone every once in a while I would take away the pen case and just look at the three of you and I was like, incredible. You gave me so much. So good landmark. Maybe let maybe just maybe they should have their face that that that picture carved out into a mountainside.
[55:02] Heather Morris: What do you think? I think I think let's get it done. Let's do the change.org.
[55:08] David Erickson: Move over Mount Rushmore. Here comes the holy trinity, the unholy trinity, the unholy trinity. Don't get it twisted. Um, okay. And so I'm also voting for I say a little prayer. And just for the record, Brittany S. Pierce is also voting for I say a little prayer.
[55:17] Heather Morris: Brittany S. Pierce is definitely voting for say a little prayer. There's no doubt.
[55:21] David Erickson: We have iconic but come on now. We need to know you can't. You can't even touch it. It's untouchable. Untouchable. Um, the other day was the Hannah Montana anniversary. 20 years. One of the things that really stuck out to me was her manifestation powers that she was like, kept on like talking about on like red carpets and interviews that she was like, Hey, anniversary is happening. She has nothing to like kind of like, back that like there's no like Disney backing yet. And then like she just kept on saying it. So Disney was like, Okay, we have to do it because she's running her damn mouth. That's kind of how it works. It's like, yeah, I think the internet, it started with glee, would you say like the internet sort of just advocates for stuff to happen like storylines on glee were definitely advocated on in Britannia. Yeah. And then because people you know, people are like, absolutely, this is the best idea. Then I think it's the affirmation that the networks need to know like, oh, they actually do want to instead of like, yeah, they're stuck in a meeting with 10 of them and they don't quite know and they're a bunch of white males who don't understand what society needs. And we needed the anniversary. And we also need the glee union. We're approaching quickly 20 years 2029. We got to start kind of putting it together putting together.
[57:00] Heather Morris: I just I don't know, I'm putting that on you and the rest of the cast to just—
[57:04] David Erickson: That would be so fun.
[57:05] Heather Morris: Say it. It will happen. It will happen. I—
[57:08] David Erickson: This is a wild idea. What if because I was sort of like pitching I had for a couple the last few years I was trying to pitch this idea like Heather Morris tries to become a pop star at 40 sort of like a like a not like a rest of development but in the idea in the realm of like arrested development curb your enthusiasm like very existential like loosely scripted. Yeah, if Britney Spears decides that she's going to come back and she wants to like do a Super Bowl performance. What if the entire cast comes back and instead of just like the show coming back what if our anniversary is the Super Bowl halftime?
[57:47] Heather Morris: This take it or leave it was that a good pitch? Did you like it?
[57:54] David Erickson: It's perfect. I think it's spearheaded by Britney Spears. What is the big Britney moment number within the Super Bowl halftime performance? What is the big Britney Spears Super Bowl moment within the halftime?
[58:04] Heather Morris: My cup. Are you kidding? I was like, Okay, I'm a slave for you around the world girls icon. But of course, it's like a mashup. It's like to do to do to do to do to drop my cup, my cup, my cup, my cup, my cup, my cup, my cup. And she got a cup. You know what I mean?
[58:27] David Erickson: That is so good. It's so much better than my initial idea of what my cup would be, which was like, they do like the don't rain my parade, the don't stop believing whatever. And then lights go down, completely pitch dark one spotlight on you. And you're doing a strip down version.
[58:43] Heather Morris: I just got the chills, Andrew. My cup, my cup. Can you imagine how the stage like comes up? Like it's coming up from the ground and then coming up and then like the strip down version. I think that it could go into what you were just saying of like the kind of like and then like the the funky beats. That would be the funky beats. Yeah, I got stripped down. And then like, what if I'm in a glass globe? You know what I mean? And I'm doing like a strip number and like we're all—
[59:19] David Erickson: And then it's perfect to the big moment.
[59:22] Heather Morris: I'm sure all of the football fans will. They love—
[59:29] David Erickson: Yeah, and then the Cadillac comes on stage and we do Buster Windows. Cadillac on stage. We also need the Chevy cars as well from the Chevy commercial. I work with Scott Pendercast, who created So Help Me Todd. And the first day I got on set to work as the character Judy that I was playing alongside Skyler Astin. He looks at me and he's like, Heather, you know, the first time I ever saw you was on that Chevy Super Bowl commercial. And you just had such a big smile and you had such great energy.
[1:00:30] Heather Morris: I've ever seen my husband dance.
[1:01:00] Andrew: Do your children have the dancing bug?
[1:01:30] Heather Morris: And he was such a little, like, tigger. He was bouncing everywhere. He nailed it! He was so good! But he refuses to take classes, which is fine. He just, like, he's naturally good at it. I love.
[1:01:42] Andrew: Yeah, it's because I was dancing with them in my belly, so, you know.
[1:01:44] Heather Morris: Of course! You were on that damn Glee set with...
[1:01:47] Andrew: I was on the damn Glee set.
[1:01:48] Heather Morris: Um, hey. Okay, so Glee Union, it's gonna happen in 2029. And if you need any help putting it together, I'll do a... we can get on a group call with Ryan, the three of us, and...
[1:02:02] Andrew: Do you think he has a chip activated in him? Can we... do you think it's reversed?
[1:02:08] Heather Morris: Did all of you put a chip into him for the 2029 Glee Union?
[1:02:13] Andrew: The 2029 Glee Union.
[1:02:15] Heather Morris: Yeah, I think... I would hope so. I mean, you tell me. Did you do that?
[1:02:20] Andrew: I cannot confirm or deny.
[1:02:22] Heather Morris: But there was definitely a couple nights where we were at the SoHo house, and he might or might not remember.
[1:02:29] Andrew: He's like, huh?
[1:02:31] Heather Morris: My martini's a little stiff.
[1:02:33] Andrew: A little stiff? This martini's starting to taste like a Glee Union in 2029.
[1:02:39] Heather Morris: A Glee Union?
[1:02:42] Andrew: Incredible. Okay, well, final question to you, Heather.
[1:02:45] Andrew: Final question to you, Heather.
[1:02:48] Andrew: Britney Spears, if you were asked to... okay, Glee boot is announced today. And does she live in you? Do you feel like you can access her immediately?
[1:02:54] Heather Morris: No, she lives within me all the time.
[1:03:09] Heather Morris: All the time? Yeah, I think when I get my cameos, and it is requested to be as Britney Spears, I don't even know what's happening to me. It just happens. You know, like when actors explain, like, they don't even remember the take, because they just felt so good about it. That's how Britney Spears is.
[1:03:29] Andrew: I love that so much. And honestly, you are so incredible.
[1:03:35] Heather Morris: Thank you. Britney and Heather definitely live in a parallel universe. You know?
[1:03:41] Andrew: And Britney, just like you, contains multitudes. And like, I'm just like thinking of I don't know how often you get flowers for this, but like, in the school shooting episode, which say, say what you will about it, but mama, you showed up to set that day. And you were like, I'm getting an honorary Emmy. You in that bathroom stall. What do you recall of that?
[1:04:03] Heather Morris: I was definitely emotionally prepared. I, I had prepped for that scene for a long time.
[1:04:12] Andrew: So good.
[1:04:13] Heather Morris: Sometimes it's actually really hard to prep for scenes.
[1:04:15] Andrew: Yeah.
[1:04:16] Heather Morris: Because if you're not going to go on set right away, you're sort of like, oh, I can't recall what I need to prep for for too long. Otherwise, it's not going to work.
[1:04:25] Andrew: Yeah.
[1:04:26] Heather Morris: But what was what was helpful, which is actually hard to say, but like in your acting prep work, I was in the other room while they were doing the classroom scene.
[1:04:38] Andrew: Yeah.
[1:04:39] Heather Morris: Because I left the room to go to the bathroom.
[1:04:41] Andrew: Of course.
[1:04:42] Heather Morris: And then they get stuck in the bathroom. And they actually made the set. I have goosebumps right now. They made the set feel not heavy, but they wanted the take to keep rolling, because they wanted it to feel authentic.
[1:04:55] Andrew: Yeah.
[1:04:56] Heather Morris: So I like sat in the other room and actually watched the other actors work on that scene.
[1:05:02] Andrew: Oh.
[1:05:03] Heather Morris: So I felt it before I even went into that bathroom. I felt like the heaviness of the scene. Obviously, I think even at that time, we had experienced quite a few school shootings. And I don't think it's really that hard to access, like the feeling of, you know, what that would feel like, or the concerns you have for all the people that you love so much that are like mere minutes away, or like trying to get a hold of your parents. But I think that helped me a lot, is like seeing the scene kind of unfold in front of me and then going into the bathroom and doing my scene. So that was really helpful to be able to have that beforehand.
[1:05:44] Andrew: It's a great performance.
[1:05:47] Heather Morris: Thank you so much for that insight. I feel like they just like gave you, they trusted you with so much for delivering so much on that show.
[1:05:57] Andrew: And you always delivered.
[1:05:59] Heather Morris: I had more to do, I had more to deliver.
[1:06:02] Andrew: Yeah, that it's like you're not kind of contained into dancer with quips, you know?
[1:06:10] Heather Morris: You can, you went into that bathroom and you made history.
[1:06:15] Andrew: Oh, thank you. My goal is a procedural. I want to be on a procedural. I love, I love drama. I feel like it's easier for me to access.
[1:06:22] Heather Morris: Really?
[1:06:23] Andrew: Yeah, I do. I don't know what it is about it. I mean, I love both. I love comedy. I like physical comedy a lot. I like to, you know, sort of just make everything a little bit bigger than it is. But yeah, I do. I want to do like procedurals. I think they're really fun and interesting.
[1:06:43] Heather Morris: I know that we're, we can end it whenever you need to go. But I just like, I also need to share that. Cora Bora, Meg Stalter.
[1:06:53] Andrew: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[1:06:55] Heather Morris: Was that the name of the movie? Cora Bora?
[1:06:56] Andrew: Cora Bora, yeah.
[1:06:57] Heather Morris: Watch it on a plane. So good.
[1:07:00] Andrew: I know, it's good. It's good. It's fun.
[1:07:03] Heather Morris: I remember like when it was announced, it was like Heather Morris and Meg Stalter will be playing opposite each other. I'm like, oh, I'm there. I'm sad. So good. Comedy Legends.
[1:07:13] Andrew: It was so good. Yeah, we had a good time. It was a great set. And oh, what's really funny about that? We'll go in a minute. But what was really funny about that is Manny Jacinto. Is that how you say his name? Manny?
[1:07:26] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[1:07:28] Andrew: I had the biggest crush on Manny Jacinto.
[1:07:30] Heather Morris: Of course.
[1:07:32] Andrew: I showed up to set, didn't realize Manny was who he was, because I had just watched Nine Perfect Strangers. It was, it had already premiered. I had watched it. And then I was on set with him. Had a full conversation. We were chatting. I was asking about life.
[1:07:48] Heather Morris: Yeah.
[1:07:48] Andrew: He was a bit understated, a little bit quiet. And like, you never want to overstep between, you know, like as a working actor, because you're like, oh, what if they're preparing? What if they're going online? But I was just like, you know, making conversation and like, just talking to him like a normal person. And he was so sweet. And I was so excited to just like, you know, talk to the cast or whatever. And then I left. And I remember looking up like the cast list. And I was like, oh, let me see who these people are. And I looked it up. And I was like, that was Manny. That was Manny Jacinto. And I was in love with him in Nine Perfect Strangers. And I'm actually grateful that in hindsight, I didn't know who he was when I was talking to him.
[1:08:31] Heather Morris: You were able to be completely normal.
[1:08:33] Andrew: Completely normal. And I that's kind of how I try to approach like a lot of sets, because I don't want to like, I don't really want to know who who and what these people have done, because I really just want to like, enjoy them as people.
[1:08:45] Heather Morris: But I always wonder, like, how how awkward would I have been had I known?
[1:08:49] Andrew: That's, I could literally pick your brain about everything and anything. But like, truly. So then Beyonce, first time meeting her. What was like your like, I would imagine that I would be pooping my pants.
[1:09:04] Heather Morris: I probably did. Yeah. We were we were workshopping in New York. I had already auditioned. And then I flew out to New York. They flew out a couple of us to start the workshop for the Beyonce experience. Yeah. And so they had brought out, I think there was three of us, maybe three or four that joined the other the other people that had already booked it. And then there was like three or four of us. And they were sort of like, hey, you never know. We're not quite sure if we're going to keep all of you or if we are. And I remember she came into the rehearsals and watched us do a couple of the pieces that they had us like learn there. And she was so sweet at the time. I don't I was not like nervous, nervous. I was more nervous of like, oh, I hope I don't fuck up in front of Beyonce and like not get this job kind of nervous. Yeah. But I don't think she was like such a presence that like I was so scared. Because you have to think at that time, she wasn't like single ladies. She was post Destiny's Child Beyonce, who was still a diva.
[1:10:09] Andrew: Yeah, that it wasn't we. Yeah. Anyway, I think we should end it on Beyonce.
[1:10:14] Heather Morris: Beyonce. This is where we end it. Of course. Beyonce. And you know what? You are my Beyonce, Heather. Thank you so much for like, literally. Oh, my God, I cannot thank you enough for the fact that that dream conversation that we had in the dream, the dream, that was really nightmare fuel to me. And on top of a particularly tough week for me that I was like, Oh, God. Um, this is the last thing that I needed. And so thank you for being cool girl vibes. And I just love you so much.
[1:10:49] Heather Morris: Oh, I love you, too. Well, thank you. And don't forget to come see me on off Broadway. Come see me at 11 to midnight.
