"You Will Shit, and I Will Cry" (w/ Olivia Chry...
This week’s episode is chock-full of Olivias. First, Andrew and Allison discuss Olivia Rodrigo’s new album, Sour, and which songs would be sung by which Glee characters. For example, who sings Driver’s License? Is it a Marley solo or a pinnacle ballad in a long-awaited Artie story arc? We’ll never know. Certified Gleek, Olivia Chrysler is this week’s guest with some hot takes on Glee’s costuming choices. Songs this ep include some Olivia Newton-John, the second longest song on Glee, and way too much flannel.

"She is the Mop Now" (w/ Adriana Avendano)
In quite possibly the BEST episode of Gleek of the Week yet, Andrew and Allison delve into the tale of how they first met with the help of their friend, Adriana Avendano. What does Darren Criss have to do with this? What did Jaime say? And why is Kate Hudson so comfortable with being used as a cleaning device? Truly heinous. Songs include the only JLo tribute, the only Spice Girls jam, Rachel’s final solo, and Jayma Mays singing extremely fast. And we finally get to a song on one of the hosts’ top five!

"Gleek of the Month" (w/ Nathan Pearson)
In this episode, Allison exposes herself AGAIN with her DIY Glee merch and Andrew hates it. Thankfully, the hosts are joined by the perfect Nathan Pearson, host of the queer comedy podcast, Secure the Gag. Nathan goes into detail on his first experience with the show before getting into a truly chaotic group of songs. They include the first Will Schuester song on the podcast, an unpredictable Skylar Astin mashup, and sadly no Grant Gustin just yet. If Glee was still on today, who would sing Drivers License? Leave a review and let us know!
