But since our best friend Danielle 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.200 has joined the cast for season thirty four, we're going 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.400 all in. We are Wilfred Ell and Ryder Strong aka 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.479 the two dudes next to Tapanga aka daniel Fishal's backup 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.560 aka the Daniettes. 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.319 How's it going? Well, it's good. How are you? 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.760 I'm a little tired. I spent all day yesterday traveling 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.199 six hour flight, landed in Costa Rica, three and a 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.440 half hour bus ride. 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.040 But yeah, I'm here now. 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.240 We're celebrating my wife's fiftieth and we're here for like 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:57.960 the next five days. 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.360 With no cho sounds fun I'm curious how how many 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.399 Dancing with the Stars recap podcasts do you think are 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.000 being recorded in Costa Rica right now? 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.600 Just the one, baby one, just you? 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.240 Or this is just a whole here's the people, you 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:15.440 know what? 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.000 It is funny though, because I started to think you 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.679 were going to ask how many Dances with the Stars 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.600 conversations have you had? And I would say surprisingly a. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.720 Lot because thousand, yes, me too. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.240 I just yesterday because we're traveling here a bunch of 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.720 friends here. We have like twenty twenty some friends who 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.800 have met us in Costa Rica for my wife's fiftieth 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.600 and everybody wanted to talk Dance with the Stars last night, right, 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.480 I was just you know, a lot of them hadn't 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.440 seen like last week's episode or just you know, so yeah, 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.040 I it was a big discussion, and everyone wants to 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:46.040 know how Danielle's doing. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.120 I'm like, good, I think I'm going to talk to 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.800 her tomorrow when we record. Well. I love how literally 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.920 when you do a podcast saying I don't know what 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.800 I'm talking about, people somehow assume I know what I'm 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.280 talking about, right, or I'll get getting conversations with people 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.240 all the time like yeah, but you know she missed 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:05.760 that kicked her and I'm like, the what she what? 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.120 So it's still so funny where all of a sudden 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:13.320 we've become experts because we said we're not experts. 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.760 Well we have opinions, though, don't we we do? Boy, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.880 do we have opinions. I was so happy this week 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.160 were yeah, okay, but what's funny is that I actually, like, 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.600 like I said, last week, I enjoyed the dancing, like 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.480 all that contemporary stuff was just beautiful and emotional. But yes, 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.560 as far as like feeling good about the show and 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.040 feeling good about Danielle, obviously, I. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.960 Was just so elated this week. I just got she 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.520 killed it. I did too, and this was it was 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.120 like it was like a wanted to cry moment for 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.040 my friend where it was like, oh, because we know 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.200 how hard she's been working. Yeah, we know how much 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.280 it's been bugging her with how hard she's been working. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.079 And she's by the way, we know her well enough 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:58.079 to know that she's only bugged with herself. Danielle is 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.200 not the person who I can't believe the judges did this. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:01.919 I can't believe my partner did this. I can't believe 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.840 other couples to do Nope, she's only harsh on herself. Yeah, 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.840 So when you have a week like this where it 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.720 was like it seemed like the stars aligned and she 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.640 got to do that, it was awesome. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.639 I just think they were so smart, like her and 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.120 her and Pasha just did the exact right thing, you know, 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.480 like coming off of last week, because I was a 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.839 little question I was questioning last week. It's like, really, 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.360 we're gonna double down and boy me to them, like me, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.320 I love seeing everybody there. I love Bill being on stage. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.680 But you know, yeah, I just think that, like we 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.800 want to see you do more dancing with the star stuff. 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.400 We want to see more sides to Danielle, which we 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.200 know are there, you know, And so for her to 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.480 be able to lean into that this week was just incredible. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.480 Did you chuckle a little bit? By the way, when 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.000 during her pre show package she said I'm a bright, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.600 bubbly person, but occasionally I have a darker side. Did 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:50.600 you chuckle just a little bit? 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.600 No, I honestly didn't even catch that. I have a 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.960 knife in my pocket exactly armed to the. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.120 Te Oh my god. All right. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:07.080 We started off with Scott Hoyne and Riley Arnold. Scott 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.120 apparently is a wicked suit. Oh well, we should say 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:09.960 It's Wicked night. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.640 Like a kid. Have you seen it? Will never seen it. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.640 Didn't know anything about it, never heard a single song 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.120 from it. I want to watch the movie, but didn't 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:19.280 know anything. You know. 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.919 I've started to watch the movie really late night in 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.000 New Zealand and a camera band with my son, and 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.560 I fell asleep, but I was thoroughly enjoying it, and 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.400 I've never gone back, but so now I need to 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:29.760 go back and watch it. And I've never seen the 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:30.960 stage musical too, which. 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.640 I haven't either. I will say because I know we're 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.360 going to jump right into the dancing, and we should, 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.560 but I will say the opening dance number of all 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.360 of them together to that, I think it was called 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.760 Defying Gravity Song. That was a pretty amazing start to 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.320 the night. It seemed like you we went to the 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.240 Pantagious and we were watching a big theatrical show in 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.719 front of us, and obviously something like this, a stage 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.640 play that is singing and dancing, lends itself to dance, 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.120 and I thought that, man, did that show tonight in 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.120 a lot of the dancing. The people that killed it 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.520 were the people that got that and really leaned into like, oh, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.719 I'm doing I'm doing Broadway right now, and because I'm 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.120 doing Broadway, it's gonna it's gonna kill. And it did 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:10.840 a lot of the times. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.839 Yeah, I think it brought a cool energy of like 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.400 absolutely everybody focused around one story and one set of characters, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.240 and like how they're interpreting that it was cool. 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:18.880 Yeah, me too. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:24.080 So yeah, so Scott was a wicked super fan and 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.200 they did a contemporary dance to the song The Wizard, 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.680 and I I, you know, I've been up and down 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.119 on Scott, Like when we first started. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.480 I was like, I don't know what he's doing. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.239 Then I really really loved his journey and I watched 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:39.719 this and I was like, oh no, he's going home. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.320 I thought exactly the same thing. This was not a 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.680 good dance, and he was like he was and I'm 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.560 going to use a scientific dancing term. He was kerfuffled 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.680 at the at the beginning. I mean you could see 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.760 he didn't know where to put his hands. I think 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.680 he missed at least one or two lifts with her. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.159 I mean he was at the beginning very all over 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.320 the place. And the side by sides. Again, he's just 0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.840 super clunky when he's by himself. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.880 It's just funny because like he's he's come so far 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.400 and previous dances, but this one, I really the thing 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.120 I wrote was awkward and shuffling, yeah, which is like, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.400 oh god, we're like five weeks into the dance show, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.200 Like you can't be awkward and shoving, So I think 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.839 something just went off, Like I think he was out 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:17.840 of time or nervous. 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:18.159 I don't know. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.679 It's too bad because he just didn't have he didn't 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.599 have that fluidity and grace which I feel like he's 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.479 been finding other weeks and and you know, I think 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.000 he also the best part of his whole journey is 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.280 that he's really gotten comfortable with his self expression physically right, 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.240 and that's still there. But yes, at this point in 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.680 the in the show, we need to see like, you know, 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:42.039 actual like dance, hitting hitting those marks and like on time. 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.039 So yeah, I was a bummer. No, I felt the 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.479 same way. I thought it was one of those things 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.000 where he maybe it was the dual pressure of him 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.040 being such a Wicked fan coupled with going first, which 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.919 for some people that's got to be rough. But you 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.960 could tell he was just he was off. There's times 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.400 he's like staring at his feet and you know his again, 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:02.839 his hands were kind of all over the place. It 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.000 was pretty and. 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.880 At this point I was like, oh God, maybe Wicked 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.440 Night is going to be awful. What was I just like, 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.160 we're coming off of so much emotion from last week. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:13.320 I mean literally like I was. 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.520 Crying start to finish of Robert Irwin's thing, you know. 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.880 So it's like I was really and so to be 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.600 like and now which is and see I was like, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.520 oh god, and you know this one started it off 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.400 and I was like, oh man, he loves this. But 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.760 it's not translating like maybe you know. But turns out 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:32.600 it was a good night for dancing. Next up Alex 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:33.120 and Val. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.400 I thought this was oh. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.240 What wait, actually we should say what they were scored. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.119 They got sevens across the board, which was pretty kind. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.320 I thought, pretty pretty generous. Frankly, yeah, and I'm sorry, 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.080 but if if there were the same kind of things 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.880 done for Andy, he would have gotten at least one 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.080 six right yeah, right all right? 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:56.360 Next up where Alex and Val. Their sink was insanely good. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.720 I could not get over this dance, like in terms 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.360 of just them moving. You know, maybe it was coming 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.200 off of Scott and Riley too right slightly off, but 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.000 I thought this was like, what, this is so fun? 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.240 And I was like, Okay, this is gonna be a 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.200 good night. They were dancing too, what is this feeling? 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.000 They were doing a jazz dance? 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.160 What do you think I mean? Again, I thought it 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.920 was I thought it was great. This is this is 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.920 kind of lending itself again to the stage presence and 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.480 the being on Broadway kind of feel to me. So 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.800 it you know, it worked, and they were really good 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:35.760 together they I mean, they always are, so it's, uh, yeah, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:36.840 it's they're great. 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:43.080 Yeah, came out with nine nine eight nine. And this 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.800 is the beginning of what I would say was like, 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.280 it's a really it was a high scoring night, very 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.559 and and pretty much across the board. I was like surprised. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.199 I mean, actually, if you had asked me three weeks ago, 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.000 I would have said their scoring is way too low 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.320 based on what we were saying. But I guess they're 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:05.120 like progressively, they just up everybody's score, right, because don't 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.679 doesn't it seem like everybody was like we're all in 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.959 like eight through ten territory. Now, Like if you're getting 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.480 a six or seven, it's real bad. It's real bad. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.079 You might as well be getting a two if you're 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:14.640 getting six. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.360 And that's the way I just feel like, that's is 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.880 that reflective of the fact that they are actually getting 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.520 better in such a way that like you and I 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.440 can't see how they're getting better. Or is it just 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.680 that the judge is just up the ante by making 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:30.600 the scores higher. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.400 I think they do that, but I also think there's 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.600 something kind of weirdly arbitrary about that and all the scoring, 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.760 because it's like, does that mean you come out, you 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.800 give the best dance they've ever seen on night one, 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.960 you're still only going to get a six? I mean, like, 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.120 if you're not open to judging the thing for what 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.560 it is, you know what we should do. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.000 We should go back and watch like Robert Erwin's first dance, right, 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.559 because I wonder because I remember the time being like, 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.360 well that's perfect, give the guy tens or whatever, you know, right, 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.160 and there were a couple of early ones. I just 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.560 randomly picked his. I remember we all liked it. But like, 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.720 I'd like to go back and watch like a week 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.440 one dance that only got seven and compare it to 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.079 like one of this week's nines. Yea, because my feeling 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.440 is I don't know, but my feeling is they're just 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.280 getting higher like that there's there's they're just gettinglation judging 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.200 that great it's great jugulation gentulation. Yeah, because I don't 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.240 know or you know, or maybe they really are like 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.760 doing better at certain things, like technically that I'm just 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.520 not seeing like they are more on time or in sync. 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.200 I don't know, but anyway, yes, these two were perfectly 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:35.200 in sync. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.120 I would think it argue because you you always talk 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.360 about Whitney and I and I think you're I think it. No, no, no, 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.880 you talk about uh what's her name, Danielle, daniel lavorite. 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.360 You could argue Val as the best dancer out there. 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.640 I mean that guy was was shredding it and his uh, 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.360 his choreography is really good too. I mean, this was 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.480 very engaging, and this was a week I thought about 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.000 you during this. This was a week we're not only 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.560 did I not mind when they were lip syncing when 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.880 they weren't, it kind of threw me a little bit, 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.600 like I felt like I was watching a play when 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.200 they were lip syncing a bit and I kind of 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:10.960 dug it. I didn't know I hit it. 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.680 I just I just I had to turn that part 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.120 of my brain off because I was like, oh, they're 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.400 like all going to do it, and I totally understand 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.080 why because they're basically doing musical numbers, but like they 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.600 also all stopped halfway through, so that I'm like are 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.920 you're not in character anymore. I just don't don't go there. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:31.840 I didn't bother me this week. But yeah, they were great, 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:32.320 all right. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.280 I thought it was a little less emotional and you know, 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.200 but great dancing when the two guys pick her up 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.160 and throw her to him, really cool moves like. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:41.679 This cool move. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:47.920 Yeah, all right. Next up, we're Robert and Whitney. These 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.760 guys are i mean, some of the front runners here. 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.720 And they said, going into the package, they said this 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.800 is going to be their most ambitious dance yet, which 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:02.040 I was like, huh, really, he's been pretty damn ambitious. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.640 They did a jazz dance to Dancing through Life, and 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.240 you know, it was incredible. 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:12.880 It was great. I don't think it was their best dance, frankly, 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.840 I know they said there was more ambitious. It was 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.600 more ambitious. Maybe it was more ambitious because there were 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.680 more people involved. I mean, it's like he started as 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.080 essentially one of the dance dancers of the show. He 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.200 was like him and like nine people around that table, 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.960 which is a little bit different also, just like he's 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.120 just blending in with the pros. Now, that's what I mean. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:34.880 That's what I mean. It's like you don't, He's just 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:35.640 one of them. Now. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.160 I thought this was just so fun, you know, it 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.080 was just like a solid, great dance. I mean, I 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.280 just think that he's probably the best dancer of the celebrities. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.760 Of the stars, I think it's him and Whitney who's 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.720 the professional dancer exactly. But yes, I think so too. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.840 I'm waiting for like a week to come out where 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.080 they're like, oh my god, the choreography was amazing and 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.800 he's like, yeah, that was met Corey. I Korey drafted 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.559 this week, Like wait, what so see. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.160 It's funny because like, I don't even really count Whitney 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.680 as a star. I just think of her as a dancer, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.520 you know what I mean Exactly, I don't. I think 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.640 she's great at what she's doing, and I do like 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.200 watching the dances. I don't feel like it's fitting with 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.160 the story of this show. But I guess that's but 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.800 that's but that's partly unfair because I'm not somebody who 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.880 looks to influencers as celebrities, right, Like, I'm totally of 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.960 the generation where that if you're on a reality show 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.360 or you're I don't know, like you know which I 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.199 guess maybe you could say about Robert too, like is 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:30.960 he a celebrity? 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.160 Is he? I don't care about the celebrity status at 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.520 all for me. I look at what's made to a celebrity, 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.480 and what's made her a celebrity is dancing, right right. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.800 You know, if she's a celebrity influencer who all she 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.079 does is cook and she's the biggest cook celebrity influencer, 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:46.520 and then they come and teach her how to dance, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.160 that's great. Yes, that's she's paid to dance. I don't 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.720 care what the platform is. She's a paid dancer, So 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.680 that's what it is for me. But yeah, he's you're right, 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.200 he just he's now part of them. He's a he's 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:02.120 a dancer. So yeah, was once again a great performance 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.839 to watch. And I still think he I don't think 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.439 anybody's gonna beat him this year. I just I don't 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.880 think anybody's gonna beat him because he's he's he's so he's. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:15.679 So solid as a dancer, and then his his his personality, 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.280 he's just so likable and. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.040 Like, yeah, his family is super likable. His family is 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.880 Dancing with the Stars royalty. They would repeat again with 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.520 with you know, his sister having one. It's the story 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:27.080 is built in. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.040 Is there another, like younger brother or sister who's gonna. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:34.960 I don't think there's another, but yeah, that's daughter's there. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.560 The whole time, I'm guessing Bendi's daughter is already dancing. Uh, 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.880 they're already training her to get ready. So it is. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:47.200 It's become a it's a powerhouse Dancing with the Stars family. Okay, 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.040 so we're in that territory now now. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:57.480 Nine nine nine nine. Yeah, so here we are. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.960 We're in a high, high scoring territor. 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.120 Yeah, okay, and but it was great. I thought I 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:09.160 thought it was deserved. All right, Whitney and Mark, this 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:13.720 is a quick step, tons of little little quick steps. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.920 I was so impressed, amazing, incredible and incredible. Hated the 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:18.800 color of the outfits. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.160 I get that they're doing that, but the every everything 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.160 pepto bismal color. It was not a fan of. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:24.200 I know, it's a little weird. 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.840 It was a little weird, but yeah, it's you're watching 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:33.280 two professional dancers dance amazingly. Well yeah, film at eleven, yeah, you. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.360 Know, yeah, there's something a little like, okay, cool, but 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.480 you know there was it was advanced. Do you know 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.760 what I mean, like, there was actually hugely this that 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.280 I could tell even as a complete amateur. I'm like, 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.400 this is hard, like to keep up with each other 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.200 and exactly. And I was like, it's just so it 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.920 was just so fast and like whoa coming at you? 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.160 So I figured there were going to be tens. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.960 And you notice in the pre show package, even the 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.800 pre show package for hers different because the pre show 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:06.120 package her mark her pro is talking to her like 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.200 she's another pro. Yeah. I mean he's said, there's no smiles, 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:10.960 there's no anything. He's like, no, no, no, no, no, your 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.800 turn here. And she's like, yeah, I know, and he's like, yeah, 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.840 you do it backwards. It's gonna look it's gonna look straight. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.480 Like he's talking to her like another professional dancer. Yeah. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.360 You know. You see the package, the pre show package 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.640 with her and the pre show package with Andy, they're 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:23.760 very different. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:29.000 Things, completely different conversation, completely different Hold up, yes, right, 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.280 I'm so curious how that's resonating with the fans of 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.600 the show, you know, because obviously people keep voting Andy 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:40.320 to stay right, So clearly the voting public is voting 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.160 not just on their dancing ability, but on their personality 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:49.080 on their presentation or their their choreography choices or storytelling 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.640 whatever it is that we're you know, and I just wonder, 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.440 I mean, like, does she have an army of fans 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.600 TikTok fans who already you know, I don't know, like, 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.080 and how does that number compared to like Daniel Fishle's, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.800 you know, popularity, Like, because I have no concept when 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.920 people tell me that, like something gets ten million downloads 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.720 or somebody has eleven million followers, Like, that's a that's 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.560 a scale that my brain just like, what is that? 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.520 What does that translate to? It's something like this, do 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.240 you know what I mean? I understand what that translates 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.000 to in terms of when they post a video how 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.359 many people watch it, But what does that translate to 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:23.240 in terms of like. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.680 Vote you're yeah, yeah, I don't know. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.119 I calling you in this context. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.240 I think the finals are going to be between Robert 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.080 and her, and I think it's going to come down 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.520 to does somebody want to vote for the professional dancer 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.840 or somebody want to vote for the guy. But again, 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:40.600 it's not like Robert had never danced a day in 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.400 his life. He's obviously been preparing for us. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.879 Yeah, he watched his sister win when he was exactly 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:46.720 twelve or whatever. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.480 Yeah, and he was probably like, okay, yeah, I could 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:53.040 do that someday. It right, Yeah, exactly, plus. 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.960 Watching I mean just he's probably because of his sister 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.480 understands balroom dancing, has seen it, having watched the show 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.560 back then, and like, you know, I'm. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.080 So curious if he trained for this at all. Where 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:03.960 it was like the time. 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.600 We're talking about the two of the youngest competitors in 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.480 the show. Yeah, is that a coincidence, Like, of. 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:15.520 Course it's twenty five two and Robert is twenty one. 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.520 Okay, I take that back. I didn't realize what it was. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.639 I thought it didn't. It was great for thirty two. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.160 I would have said she was twenty four to twenty five. Yeah, wow, 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.520 but yes, it's it helps when you're younger. It certainly. Yes, 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.679 Oh my god, you see that. Yes? Oh wait what 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:32.280 did they get? Oh you're right? 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.160 Uh oh. There were scores through the roof. This was ten, nine, 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:37.680 ten and ten. 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:38.800 Yeah, first ten's ever. 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.760 Yeah, And I think I think it's just because this 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.480 was really advanced technically, Like I think the quick step 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.760
