Gleek Out!: The Power of Lettuce (Glee: Season 1) - Show Notes

Practice your vocal warm-ups and work on your hairography! Episode 3 of The Lettuce Podcast is all about Season 1 of Glee. Tori, Charlotte, and Laura put on their sparkly show outfits and embark on the Road to Sectionals. Along the way they discuss their favorite and "un-favorite" characters, best/worst musical numbers, and why any of this is even happening. Tori explains why she enjoys the show both genuinely and ironically. Charlotte confesses her love for Puck and hate for Kurt. Laura asks the question "WHY?" no fewer than 12 times. 

Is Will Shuester actually the worst teacher in history? How dumb is Finn that he believes you can get someone pregnant via a hot tub? Is Rachel a relatable character? All these questions and more are addressed in this episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

During the Fun & Games section, each host presents their version of a Glee episode: "The 90's are All That!" "Singer-Songwriters" & "Pi Day". They then play a Glee-themed round of Kill, Marry, Pity Date!






This week's podcast snack was color-coded cupcakes made by Charlotte! The podcast drink was "bitch beers" including Pear Cider and Smirnoff Screwdrivers provided by Tori. One of the themes that graced the Glee universe in Season One was pregnancy! Between fake, teenage, and unwanted several types of pregnancies were covered. Each of Charlotte's cupcakes represented a type of pregnancy each host had:

Blue: Girl
Orange: Boy
Purple: Alien
Pink: Fake!

Though is was mentioned on the show that the fate of each host's cupcake babies would be revealed, they were too invested in the absurdities of Glee and forgot to include it! So, for your entertainment, here are the results of each podcaster's cupcake babies (with names!):

Tori: 2 Pink (Sparticus & Winston) & 1 Alien (Yfandes)
Charlotte: 1 Orange (Oliver), 1 Blue (Chloe), and 1 Pink (Hermes)
Laura: 1 Orange (Sterling), 1 Blue (Agnieszka), and 1 Purple (Kristen Stewart)

The next topic for The Lettuce Podcast comes from the James Bond movie series: Dr. No. This is a topic brought to The Lettuce by Laura, who has been a fan of the franchise for many years. Charlotte considers herself a casual fan of the series, having watched several of the Sean Connery movies and the newest Daniel Craig movies. Tori was unfamiliar, but willing to investigate for the love of the podcast! Join us in 2 weeks for our first mission with 007!
