You're telling us about what 
happened behind? 

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,640
The scenes. 
Right. 

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,880
Yes. 
And I will say it's like, so 

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,120
this is the relationship between
Leah and Corey. 

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,160
I have a family member who's a 
big Gleek. 

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,720
And she was really convinced, 
like she showed me a whole 

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,120
PowerPoint presentation one 
time, convinced that Corey and 

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,400
Leah did not really have a 
relationship and that Leah and 

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Diana Agron actually dated. 
And I've seen the theories, but 

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,040
I'm not going to go into that 
like you know, there's a lot 

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,560
it's it's like similar to Larry,
like someone could bring up all 

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,520
the lore and like probably 
convince me, but. 

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,440
But I've also heard that Taylor 
Swift dated. 

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,240
I know. 
Yeah. 

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,360
I. 
Guessing would be around the 

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,160
same time, right? 
I. 

25
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:25,000
Think so? 
Yeah. 

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,440
This is like, back when the show
was on like 2012 or so. 

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,480
There's like little things. 
It's like Diana wore a shirt 

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,560
that said likes girls on stage 
and then I think Leah also wore 

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,960
it or something and I don't know
it's it's it's a pretty popular 

30
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:50,360
belief within some fandoms 
online that Leah and Corey were 

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,240
APR relationship. 
But I am going to treat it like 

32
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
as it seems that it was a real 
relationship, especially since 

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,080
he passed away. 
I would just feel weird like 

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,560
trying to disprove that they 
dated. 

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,400
That would be kind of 
distasteful, like. 

36
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,120
Being awful. 
Imagine like your boyfriend dies

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,920
and then years later people are 
trying to claim that you never 

38
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,400
even dated. 
I don't know. 

39
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,920
I'm not. 
Doing my gosh. 

40
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,360
I am not going to do that so. 
That really FS with my head when

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,720
it seems like any famous couple 
people can say, oh, they weren't

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,240
really together. 
I know exactly. 

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,080
Sometimes I do see it, but I do 
think, I mean, for the record, I

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,680
don't know what this says about 
me, but I have dated a couple 

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,040
people that I've worked with. 
I think it happens, yeah, to 

46
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,920
everybody. 
I think that's the best way to 

47
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:45,360
bond is that you are in the 
trenches together. 

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,960
Yeah, you see them all the time.
They're there every day. 

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,840
They're cute, a lot in common. 
It's kind of easy. 

50
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,200
It's like easier to fall in love
at work because you need 

51
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,240
something to think about to get 
through the day. 

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,920
Yeah, I mean, it's just another 
situation kind of like school 

53
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:07,400
where you're just you're 
meeting. 

54
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,840
People and. 
You're hanging out with a bunch 

55
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,840
of people and. 
Especially. 

56
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,640
It makes sense. 
In this line of work, their 

57
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:19,200
characters were romantic with 
each other and so like, you kind

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,720
of have to build some type of 
romantic chemistry with each 

59
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,160
other for the sake of the show. 
And right? 

60
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,400
Of course, that would then 
translate into real life. 

61
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880
And. 
They were cast in the 1st place 

62
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,760
because they had chemistry with 
each other. 

63
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,520
So, like, there has to be 
something there, yeah. 

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,600
Well, this is a big couple. 
I feel like this is a flagship 

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,120
couple actually, so. 
It will be a sad episode, but 

66
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,960
fair warning. 
First of all, three words that I

67
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,160
would use to describe this 
relationship would be I'm coming

68
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,440
up with this on the fly 'cause I
forgot I. 

69
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,560
Would say. 
Flirty. 

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,720
OK, I would say supportive. 
And then the Dark One would be 

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,920
tragic, I would say. 
But so yeah, let's, let's go 

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,400
back and discuss, you know, who 
is Lea Michele? 

73
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,920
She is she. 
So Michelle's her middle name. 

74
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:23,120
She was born Lea Michele 
Safardi, SAR Fatty or Safardi. 

75
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,560
I don't know for sure how you 
pronounce it, but she actually 

76
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,920
decided from a very early age to
drop her last name and go by her

77
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,680
middle name because people 
couldn't pronounce her last 

78
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,440
name. 
So there you go. 

79
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:41,000
I can't pronounce it either. 
She was born August 29th, 1986 

80
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,880
in the Bronx, and she was raised
in Tenafly, NJ as an only child 

81
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,640
to parents Edith, who was a 
nurse, and Mark, a real estate 

82
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,560
agent. 
She seems like an only child. 

83
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,120
She does. 
I was just thinking that I 

84
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,720
literally was. 
It checks out. 

85
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,520
I mean, and it makes sense 
because, like, she was doing 

86
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,920
Broadway from a very early age, 
so her parents had to take her 

87
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,480
on auditions, yeah. 
You know, wanting to be a star 

88
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760
just act like a only child type 
of thing completely. 

89
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:20,960
She really didn't want to be a 
star, so she made her Broadway 

90
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,800
debut at just eight years old, 
playing the Young cassette and 

91
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Les Miserables. 
And she actually had gone, 

92
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,160
supposedly just to accompany a 
friend who was auditioning. 

93
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,680
Oh. 
Oh my, we have to add this to 

94
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,520
the drinking. 
Game I know I'm. 

95
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,080
Gonna add it right now, just 
just accompanying a friend. 

96
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,160
Yeah, but. 
She was cast instead. 

97
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,880
How did that happen? 
If I was a friend, I'd be 

98
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,000
pissed. 
Just accompanying friend. 

99
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,920
Bitch, I should have never 
brought you up. 

100
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,760
Yeah, I'm just here for no 
reason, I. 

101
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,200
Know that definitely. 
It definitely happened to 

102
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,760
someone else. 
I forget whom. 

103
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,320
Yeah, it did. 
All right. 

104
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,320
I will have to. 
Stop the episode right there. 

105
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,000
