32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: came to the tart house at Stagecoach and it was

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: madness because everyone was getting their makeup and ready and

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: we had just stopped by. So I was like, oh

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,320

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: No, I got weird, so weird, so nice and approachable,

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: I know, but it was like there was a lot

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 4: off your head.

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: I don't want to interrupt her getting your makeup done?

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: The makeup artists, what do you do when you're getting

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: your makeup?

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: You're just sitting there when you get your makeup talking.

46
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: I don't ask questions about why, you know how you.

47
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 3: Just get so I'm interested in the psyche behind it.

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: You just sometimes you freeze and that's what happens.

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 5: Yes, And it's just like, maybe it's not the right time.

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 5: It's okay, because I was waiting for this, Yes, this

Speaker 5: right here?

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,600

Speaker 3: Excited to have a mimosa with you, But I'll wait

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: a couple of years.

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, we can wait a little bit longer. I

62
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 2: do think people forget how young you are, because in

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: just the I feel like two years where you've been

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: on Dance with the star's been a prolce with the stars,

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: it feels like there's this element of you being older.

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: You seem so grounded and mature, and I wonder what

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: it's been like for you coming onto a show where

68
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: you are significantly younger than most of the cast. What

69
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: has that been like for you. It's honestly crazy.

70
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 5: But like the fact that I've been able to do

71
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 5: this at nineteen years old, like actually achieve one of

72
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 5: my biggest dreams, is so just fulfilling for me.

73
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: And ye cool.

74
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 5: It's been really interesting to be in this crowd of

75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 5: people who are so experienced in what they do and

76
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: have been doing their job for so long. But it's

77
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: so cool to kind of like bring that young energy.

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: I also have.

79
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 5: Loved having Ezra, one of my best friends, as a

80
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 5: pro this year. It's just been so fun. And I

81
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 5: don't know, I love that they all ask me for

82
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: advice on tiktoks and what they should post and I

83
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 5: don't know, I.

84
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,240

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's so crazy, like just being amongst people

91
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 5: who were co workers with my oldest sister and like

92
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 5: they were kind of like my older siblings and they

93
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 5: still are and I feel like they have that like

94
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 5: protectiveness towards me, which I think is really sweet. But

95
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 5: it's so cool to be amongst people that I truly

96
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 5: looked up to my whole entire life and I'm dancing

97
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,480

Speaker 2: Like it definitely like took a toll.

115
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,080

00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: so I think visually y'all are so both so cute

160
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: and so and he has this bad boy reputation and

161
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: you're this sweet.

162
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: Young girl that come from Utah, and I think there

163
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: was that like almost storybook thing of the bad boy

164
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: with the good girl and then y'all are both cute

165
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: and then you're dancing together and you're making him. I

166
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't say a great dancer, but a better dancer to

167
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: come into it. Yeah, And I do think there was.

168
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: You know, people make fan edits and they put a

169
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: cute song over it, and I found myself being like,

170
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: oh yeah, wait, I don't want her with it.

171
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, I definitely think there was. There's a lot

172
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: of like shipping going on, and like, honestly, like it

173
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: was just all very natural. We had a great time

174
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: together and our season was really good, and I think

175
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 5: what we posted online just kind of like showcase that

176
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: and showcase like the actual like fun that we had together.

177
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 5: But yeah, it was just so crazy to like see

178
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: all those edits.

179
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: And I'm watching them. I'm like, interesting, that's not quite

180
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 2: where we're at right now, though, So funny. Yeah, yeah,

181
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: that is weird how people the Internet will take something

182
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 2: and then you're you're being the person that it's about

183
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: watching it, Like that's not exactly how it is, Like, yeah,

184
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: it's not.

185
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: The real real life, but that's in the entertainment industry,

186
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. People take videos and photos

187
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: of anybody just out Let's say you're like at a

188
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: club and you end up like walking next to somebody's

189
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: table and then they take photos and then all of

190
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: a sudden, those people are together. Do you know what

191
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: I mean? It's like it's all smoke and mirrors. It's

192
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: actually pretty crazy.

193
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 5: But also sometimes what is posted online and what is

194
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 5: said online can be very true, which is crazy.

195
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 2: I don't know, guys, I.

196
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 5: Don't know.

197
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: You do y'all still talk? Do you and Harry or

198
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: is it kind of like that was like part of

199
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: y'all's That was y'all's friendship, and y'all did what y'all

200
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: did for Dancing and the Stars, and you've both moved on.

201
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm very supportive of the life that he lives,

202
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 5: and I hope all is well with him. He came

203
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 5: to one of the tapings and I got to say hello,

204
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, we're kind of just on our own paths

205
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: right now.

206
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: Great, and you have just hard launched your relationship, which

207
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: is not rumors and not nospiracies. It's true. It's real,

208
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: hosted by you. It had a very Taylor Swift vibe

209
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: to it.

210
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 5: He's a football player, yes, and he's a tight end

211
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 5: like Travis Kelcey, So it's kind of perfect.

212
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 3: I love it, do you feel like that that relationship

213
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: works because I feel like when we talk to all

214
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: the pros from Dancing with the Stars, their life, your

215
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: your your life is very much like an athlete. It's

216
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: like sleep, eat, work, repeat, you know, and like that's

217
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: the same as like an athlete. And I feel like,

218
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 3: is that helpful in your relationship because you kind of

219
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 3: have that same mindset.

220
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

221
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: No, it's so nice because we are both so busy.

222
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 5: Like for me, I going into this season, I had

223
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 5: no intention of having a boyfriend or like getting into

224
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 5: a relationship or getting into a relationship honestly anytime soon,

225
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 5: because I always thought it would add to my plate

226
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 5: and make my life harder. But having Walker, it's like

227
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 5: every time I'm with him, it's just like the thoughts

228
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 5: of like the stress of the show and like the

229
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 5: hardness of the show completely goes away and I'm just

230
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: like focused on him.

231
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm completely unplugged from like.

232
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: The world outside, and so it's just really special to

233
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: be able to have that. And I think we're kind

234
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 5: of that like safe haven for each other because his

235
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 5: life is crazy.

236
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: He's in the midst of his football season.

237
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 5: But it's like when we're together, it's just like all

238
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 5: those worries kind of go away. And so it's just

239
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 5: been so nice because I'm like it was hard for me,

240
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 5: like dating for a second there, I was just like

241
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: every person.

242
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: I was just like, I don't want to I'm.

243
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 5: Not emotionally available for this, Like I don't have the

244
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 5: if I can't even like focus on myself, there's no

245
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: way I could focus on somebody else. With Walker, it's

246
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 5: just like different, Like I feel like he just adds

247
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 5: and makes it just so much better.

248
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: So y'all launched? How two weeks ago? Yes? Yes, since

249
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: you post something. My caption was like, is this a

250
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: hard launch? I watched my relationship. I said, I don't

251
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: know if this is a hard launch or a soft launch,

252
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: but it's a launch.

253
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: Yes.

254
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: I love that it's still a thing. So that was

255
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. How long have you all been together

256
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: before you publicly posted? Y'all's a relationship.

257
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 5: So kind of quick. Honestly, we were dating for about

258
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 5: a week before we posted, but we have been talking

259
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: for like a month and a half.

260
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, how did y'all meet? So crazy?

261
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 5: There's just so many coincidences and invisible strings. Yes, literally,

262
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: so basically his aunt was my uber driver like a

263
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 5: couple not a couple of weeks ago, like months ago,

264
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 5: and she was just like driving. She's like, I think

265
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 5: you're such a cute girl. Like don't want to sound

266
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 5: weird or anything. She's like, I have a nephew that's

267
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 5: playing football over at usc Like just look at his

268
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: Instagram and just like give him a follow or something.

269
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: And I was just like, okay, I.

270
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 5: Like looked up and I was like, oh, yeah, he's

271
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 5: really cute. So I was like interested at that point.

272
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 5: And then a couple of weeks go by and all

273
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 5: of a sudden, my mom and sisters sent me a

274
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 5: video on like our group chat that we have of him,

275
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 5: and they were like, you need to reach out to him,

276
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 5: like you need to like do something because he's here

277
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 5: in California, like he's super cute.

278
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 2: And I was like, wait, no way, you guys.

279
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 5: His aunt was my uber driver like a couple of

280
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 5: weeks ago, and they were like, Riley, you have to

281
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 5: reach out. So I then followed him on Instagram. Then

282
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 5: to find out that my brother in law works with

283
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 5: his best friend's dad, and so then my brother in

284
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: law texted his dad and that was kind of how

285
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: it connected. And then once I followed him, Walker then

286
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 5: DMed me and then.

287
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: The rest is the opening line, Oh what did he say?

288
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: I can't even remember. I was just like, hey, what's up. Hey.

289
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: I'd have to pull it up because I can't remember.

290
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's just been so crazy because now that

291
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 5: we're getting to know each other, like he's from northern

292
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 5: California and I'm from Utah, but we have so many

293
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 5: connections and we know so many the same people. He

294
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 5: visits Utah like all the time, so it's kind of

295
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 5: crazy that we hadn't met already, but it just kind

296
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 5: of feels like the most perfect time that we did meet.

297
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: It's just crazy.

298
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: Wow, I love an invisible string story.

00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: you were in the dating world and dating scene? Did

314
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: you were you dating through people you met in your

315
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: d ms or how what was the dating process? Because

316
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: I imagine you get inundatd with lots of vib message

317
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: requs to take you on a date. So how did

318
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: you even weed out? Like I guess what got your

319
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: attention to even say yes to dates with guys?

320
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 5: For me, all the dates that happened were through mutuals

321
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 5: like I was told by friends to go out with

322
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 5: this person, or like my sisters or brother in laws

323
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 5: knew this person, Like that's how I always directed my

324
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 5: dates because again, like I don't know, couldn't It can

325
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 5: be scary to just go on a date with a

326
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 5: random person you've never met before, no background of so

327
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 5: I feel like I always went on a date with

328
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 5: somebody that was a mutual of mine. But like dating

329
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 5: in Utah is just like not it, Like guys are

330
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 5: just not my vibe.

331
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: And that's okay, like there are other people's.

332
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 5: Vibes, but like every single day I went on I

333
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 5: was just like I remember, literally a couple of days

334
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: before me and Walker had started talking, my mom was

335
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 5: just like, you need to meet people, like you need

336
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: to go on dates. I'm like, Mom, I can't, Like

337
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 5: I'm exhausted, like these people like they run me thin,

338
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: and like I just can't. I don't have the mentality

339
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 5: for that, and I just like I'm not in the

340
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 5: position for that.

341
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: She's like, okay, like you do you And then Walker

342
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: came along and it was just the easiest thing ever.

343
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: So that's it's so true, like when someone can provide that,

344
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: like what you were saying, you had so much on

345
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: your plate and you're like, I don't even know if

346
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: I can give anymore to anyone else, and when they

347
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: can take that load and just like make it disappear,

348
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: that's such a good sign that you're with the right person.

349
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 5: Yes, no, I agree, And I feel like I've been

350
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 5: through a lot of guys that are just like not great,

351
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: and so to like be with somebody who truly just

352
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 5: like compliments my life and just makes me feel like

353
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 5: seen and just heard and just I don't know.

354
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: It's just awesome and it's kind of hard.

355
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 5: Like when you're in a relationship where it's like not

356
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: so good, you think that's the reality and you think

357
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 5: that's what you're gonna get every.

358
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: Time you're with somebody.

359
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 5: So I feel like it's just like it takes time

360
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 5: to like actually find somebody that'll like give that to you.

361
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: But like that person will come along, like there's no

362
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: doubt that it will. It just is gonna take some

363
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: time and you're gonna have to go through a couple

364
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 5: of bad eggs before you find a good one.

365
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: Is he your first serious relationship? No, I've been in.

366
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: I've been in a serious relationship like boyfriend and girlfriend,

367
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 5: and then I've been in another serious relationship that just

368
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 5: wasn't necessarily like official, but I would say it was

369
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 5: pretty serious.

370
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like your feelings were serious. Yes, yeah, so this

371
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: is exciting, Yes, this is this feels good, This feels great.

372
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: I do I love an athlete for you? Yes, you,

373
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: but I just I don't know. I just oh, every

374
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: time your grind and your lifestyle is very much like that. Yes,

375
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: I need to get me some of that.

376
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: You are not marrying an athlete. No no, no, no, no,

377
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm not.

378
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: I want that athlete mentality.

379
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: She's ready to become an athlete to discipline and.

380
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I like, I just think it's really good.

381
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: And I feel like having that as a partner is

382
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: probably just like so nice.

383
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 5: It's so important, especially for the life that I have,

384
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 5: and that someone who like understands the work that you

385
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 5: have to put in is just really important.

386
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: And I know that there's obviously that we were talking

387
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: about last season, the interest in your love life and

388
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: this season the interest in your love life. And I

389
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 3: feel like you're you share a lot, but you also

390
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: share a lot about your diabetes and your diagnosis. And

391
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 3: I want to talk about because I don't know. So

392
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: I know it's an autoimmune it's an autimmune disease, right,

393
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: So how does it affect you? How does it affect

394
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 3: your dancing? How does it affect your day to day?

395
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 5: It affects my It takes over my life, like it

396
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 5: is something that is always on my mind. So basically

397
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 5: I have to be super aware of my blood sugars

398
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 5: at all times. Anytime I eat food that has carbs

399
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 5: in it, I have to give myself a shot of insulin.

400
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 5: So anytime, yes, anytime I eat food, So I have

401
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 5: to do about like i'd say, seven minimum shots every

402
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 5: single day. I have to always be aware because if

403
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 5: my blood sugar goes too low, I could literally die,

404
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 5: and so I have to be really aware that I'm

405
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 5: like keeping my blood sugar stable. If my blood sugger

406
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 5: gets too high, I'll feel super like yuck and just

407
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 5: like not good. And then later on in life it

408
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 5: can affect me like really poorly if I let my blood.

409
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: Sugars get too high.

410
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 5: But it's something that like I really have to take

411
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 5: responsibility for because it is so important to you know,

412
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 5: take care of yourself with type one, because it's just

413
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 5: it's hard. And yeah, I know it's definitely hard with

414
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 5: dancing too, because like I dance so much and I'm

415
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 5: at the studio and I'm just so invested. The last

416
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 5: thing I want to think about is my blood sugar

417
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: and like whether or not I can eat this piece

418
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 5: of bread without insulin.

419
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: Just like kind of stuff like that.

420
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: So if you were to eat a salad, let's you

421
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: already a salad with like chicken, I you didn't, you

422
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: wouldn't have to do that.

423
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 5: No, but like say there's like crotons or like dressing,

424
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 5: then yes, I would. So like there's certain like protein,

425
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 5: totally fine. So if I have like a steak, yes,

426
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 5: a steak, chicken, turkey, I can have all the cheese

427
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 5: I want. Yeah, that's basically it just like protein fats

428
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 5: just zero carbs.

429
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: But I can eat carbs. I just have to get

430
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: myself insulin for it. How old were you when you

431
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: were diagnosed?

432
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: I would sixteen years old, so it's been three years now.

433
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 5: It was the biggest live switch ever.

434
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, but how did you find that out?

435
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: At sixteen?

436
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 5: So I was in the heat of my dance season

437
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: and I was just super busy, so I was naturally

438
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 5: just I thought I was just really tired, really thirsty

439
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: experiencing all those symptoms, and I was.

440
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: Just like eating all the time, I was peeing all

441
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: the time.

442
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 5: But I was just like, I'm so tired, I'm exhausted,

443
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 5: I'm traveling every weekend for dance, Like this just makes sense.

444
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: And then I remember I went to dance one day

445
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 5: and I like ate so much food because I was

446
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 5: just starving, and I passed out in my friend's car.

447
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 5: And then I went over to the hospital that day

448
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 5: and my blood sugar was onenty twenty three and it's

449
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 5: supposed to be eighty to one twenty.

450
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yes.

451
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 5: So I was literally like I think if I wouldn't

452
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 5: have gone to the hospital that night and I would

453
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 5: have gone to bed, I think I would have died

454
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: that night because I was like really like I was

455
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 5: really close to like going into a coma and like

456
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 5: just craziest stuff.

457
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: So I got admitted to the hospital.

458
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 5: I was there three days, and basically those three days

459
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 5: you're kind of just getting like fluids, getting your body right.

460
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 5: I was in the ICU for like the first night,

461
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 5: and then the rest of the days you're training because

462
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 5: diabetes is really hard, like it's a whole life switch,

463
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 5: and you need to know how to manage it. You

464
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 5: need to know how to give yourself shots, you need

465
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: to know how much to give yourself. You do to

466
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 5: know how to measure your blood sugar. You to learn

467
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 5: about all the devices that they have in technology. So

468
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 5: it was like a full three days of just training

469
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 5: to get me ready to go with life. And I

470
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 5: honestly haven't felt like set with diabetes or feel like

471
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 5: I have like really gotten it until about a year ago.

472
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 5: So it took me about two years to get like, Okay,

473
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 5: I can do this and I can manage it on

474
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 5: my own.

475
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: But craziest life switch.

476
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 5: But a good thing about it is I don't really

477
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 5: remember life before, Like I feel like I've always had

478
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 5: Type one throughout my whole life, Like I don't remember

479
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 5: just like chilling and eating food without thinking about my

480
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 5: blood sugar, which is really nice. So it's kind of

481
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 5: just this new life that I live. And some days

482
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 5: are harder than others. Some days I'm like why do

483
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 5: I have this? But some days I'm like, I'm good,

484
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: this is chill.

485
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: So do you always just have the shots on you

486
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 3: at all times?

487
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: Yes, so I have.

488
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 3: It's a little griggerated.

489
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: Yes. So I have a little like cooler bag and

490
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: I put like a cold.

491
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 3: Gel pack in it every day before you leave the house.

492
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 5: Yes, And then I just pack it with the needles

493
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 5: and the insulin and then go about my day. And

494
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 5: then I have a little sensor. Oh wait, I have

495
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 5: it on my arm. I have a little sensor on

496
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 5: my arm and it just tells me what my blood

497
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 5: sugar is.

498
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: Like every five minutes on your phone. Yeah, I like

499
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: bluetoothe to my phone. Whoa Yeah, So does it give

500
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: you like a warning if it's off?

501
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 5: Yees, So it'll beep if it goes too low, and

502
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 5: then it'll beep if it's high. So I'm like, if

503
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 5: I'm in rehearsal it starts beeping, usually it'll be because

504
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 5: I'm low, and then I'll just like have a snack

505
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 5: and then get right back to it.

506
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: Do you feel like it almost made you, in a sense,

507
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: grow up faster because all of a sudden you're having

508
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: to pay attention to these things that yeah, most sixteen years.

509
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: Old, like I wouldn't even like you forget that there's

510
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: carbs in dress dressing?

511
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, literally, like, yes, no, it's actually crazy. I definitely

512
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 5: owe so many things to my diagnosis and getting Type

513
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: one because I think I was, like, I just matured

514
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 5: so quickly and I learned like how to grow up

515
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 5: and how to take responsibility for the things I was

516
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 5: doing because it is so important to be super smart

517
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 5: with diabetes and like one wrong move and you could

518
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 5: really affect your body. So yeah, I really had to

519
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 5: grow up, and I like I thank diabetes for that

520
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 5: because I don't think I would be where I'm at

521
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 5: and be able to do the things I do if

522
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have gotten Type one, Yeah, would have taken

523
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 5: that responsibility for myself.

524
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: And it was like the first six.

525
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: Months of having diabetes, I felt like I had grown

526
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 5: up like three years.

527
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: Like it's just so crazy.

528
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 5: But so cool, and now I get to like talk

529
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 5: about it and be a voice for it, because like

530
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 5: when I was first diagnosed, I'd always wish that I

531
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: could like have somebody to like help me and like

532
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 5: give me pointers or tell me, like it's going to

533
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 5: be okay, your life is going to remain the same,

534
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 5: because I didn't think it was.

535
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: I didn't think I was going to be able to dance.

536
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 5: Really and so to be able to like be that

537
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 5: for somebody else, it's just so special.

538
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: It's really cool because so many I mean I literally

539
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: am like a fangirl for you, and I'm thinking about

540
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: all these younger girls seeing you, like literally thinking about

541
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 2: these younger girls who may be a dancer and an

542
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: athlete and also diagnose with type one diabetes and they

543
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: see someone that they like love, Yeah, doing it with

544
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: so much grace and strength. It's really cool. Thank you.

545
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: I'm so so happy you're so open to talk about that.

546
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: It's really important. Yeah, I know that means a lot.

547
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: And I think like also too, when you hear autoimmune disease,

548
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: like it's just it can be like very scary and

549
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 3: it comes in so many shapes and forms, and I

550
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 3: feel like you're when you take ownership of it, it's

551
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: like a really cool thing. Yes, yeah, and I feel

552
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: like you're doing that.

553
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

554
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: Is that something when you started dating Walker your boyfriend?

555
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: Is that something like you had to have a like talk.

556
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 3: Is there something that like he needs to know as

557
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: your partner, you know, if something happens, like he needs

558
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: to be ready to like step in.

559
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

560
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 5: No, I've already like given him basically all the training.

561
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 5: He like knows exactly what I need and like knows

562
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 5: what I need based on what my blood sugar is.

563
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 5: So basically this DEXCM thing that I have on you

564
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 5: can like add.

565
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: People to your app so they can have access to

566
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: your blood sugar.

567
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 5: And so I added him to mine. Like the only

568
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 5: other person I have on that is my mom.

569
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: So that's bigger than I love you, I feel, I know, yes, literally,

570
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: so he knows my blood sugar at all times.

571
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes he'll be like, I just like checked your blood

572
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: sugar today for fun. I'm like, that's cute. Location is

573
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: blood sugar.

574
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 5: But yeah, no, so he basically knows everything. I've kind

575
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 5: of just tried to coach him as much as I

576
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 5: can as we've been together.

577
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: But it's cool to see that and like.

578
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 5: How much he cares about it and how much he

579
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 5: like wants to make sure I'm good all the time.

580
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just when is you have that conversation.

581
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: Was it like first date, second date?

582
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it was I think around like second or

583
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 5: third date. I remember my our first date, I like

584
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 5: didn't need insulin for the food we were eating cause

585
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 5: my boods shirk was low, so I didn't pull it out.

586
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 5: But then once I pull it out on the second date,

587
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 5: he was I was like, oh, I have type one diabetes.

588
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: It's always the most awkward thing to bring up something.

589
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 2: But let me just like put a shot on my

590
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: stea real quick.

591
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 3: No, but I think a lot of people deal with

592
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: stuff like that, whether it's diabetes. Yeah, it's something that

593
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: is like kind of awkward. It's awkward to bring up,

594
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 3: and I feel like it's always in your approach, you

595
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like you could sit there and

596
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: you can say like.

597
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: Oh, excuse me, embarrassed, but.

598
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: Now you were like I have diabetes, like I gotta

599
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, I think it's all in like the

600
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: mindset that you like bring in the approach that you

601
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: bring to it.

602
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 2: Yes, I agree.

603
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 5: I think it's more just like I don't care and

604
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 5: if it's like if you have there's no way you'll

605
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 5: have a problem with it, but like if you have

606
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 5: a problem with it, then like why.

607
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: Are we here?

608
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

609
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 2: Right right? Yeah, So I don't know.

610
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 5: I feel like when I first did that, I was

611
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 5: just like, yeah, I have type on. He's like wait

612
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 5: what And then I kind of just like told him

613
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 5: the story of like how it all happened and stuff.

614
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, I want to talk about Dancing with

615
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 2: the Stars because I we've had Whitney, and we had

616
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: we had Whitney and Danny, we had Joey and Jenna,

617
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 2: and we really feel like we're like auditioning for I

618
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: love it, but we gosked him. Like first of all,

619
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 2: this season is like, in my opinion, one of the

620
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: best cast the show has ever had. Everyone is the

621
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: best I'm just like, it's never it's it feels competitive

622
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 2: in the sense that the dancing is so great, but

623
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: also just like such a lovable group of people. So

624
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: as when you got paired with Steven, were you so excelled?

625
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: What was your reaction when you found out? Because he's

626
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: an Olympian, so you know he's got the.

627
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 5: Work effic Yes, No, I was so happy, Like just

628
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 5: immediately from the gecko his energy coming into the room,

629
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 5: I was just like, oh, oh, we're here, and this

630
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 5: feels great and we're happy. I don't know, he's just

631
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: such a happy guy and he exudes so much light

632
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 5: and happiness, and that's just somebody I want to be around.

633
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 5: And I feel like we are very similar in that

634
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 5: way that we just like always have good positive mindsets

635
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 5: to like everything that we do. So that was really helpful.

636
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 5: And then the fact that he is an athlete. He

637
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 5: literally just came from the Olympics like he is in

638
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 5: tiptop shape.

639
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: He works so hard, like literally so.

640
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 5: Hard, and I was just so blessed that he was

641
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 5: the person that walked into the room. But it has

642
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 5: been honestly the best season. It's been so fun.

643
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: The whole cast is just so special and.

644
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 5: Like we're all so kind and supportive of each other,

645
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 5: like honestly, every time someone goes home, I'm like, wait,

646
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 5: that was really sad. Like it's just like we've built

647
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 5: this strong relationship with everybody that's been really special, and

648
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 5: Steven has just been the best and we're having so

649
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: much fun.

650
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: I can't believe.

651
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 5: It's like literally almost the end, Like, h it's so sad,

652
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 5: but it's gone by so quickly, so it's just crazy.

653
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: Did you so, Ezra, this was his first season as

654
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 2: a pro and you said he's on your best Friends?

655
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: Is her best friend from you told her just from

656
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 2: being on the show from Utah? So I've known him

657
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: literally my entire life. Yeah, I didn't realize that. That

658
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: is so fun Okay, he was so entertaining to watch

659
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: on TikTok, his obsession of well, first of all, him

660
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: having Annadelvey as his partner, so crazy tattoo.

661
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 5: Yeah No, he's just psyiconic and it's just so funny.

662
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: And I loved following the whole globe and brooking and

663
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: then and so much.

664
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 5: Like he's really literally he's so good at it, Like

665
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 5: I just he is like the most perfect person to

666
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 5: put on the show, Like I think he has like

667
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 5: made a light out of crazy situations, Like I think

668
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 5: if anyone else would have been partnered with Anna Deelvey

669
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 5: and had her say nothing like she came from nothing?

670
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 5: Wait did she take away.

671
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: To take away nothing?

672
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: Like? I don't know. I think Ezra has handled it

673
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 5: such a pro and he's like turn a negative into

674
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 5: a positive so quickly.

675
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: I'm so proud of him for that because like so

676
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: many people.

677
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 5: Would easily just be like, eh, well there's a bad season, then,

678
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 5: like what can you do about it? But he's just

679
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 5: made it and turned it around and made it to

680
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: his own benefit. And I'm just like, wow, you go.

681
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: Because that is just so awesome. Like I feel like

682
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: if that happened to me, I'd just be like me too.

683
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 5: I.

684
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: Just I can't do this anymore? Me too, Yeah, literally

685
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: would have broken me. No, literally said nothing after what

686
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: their experience is working with literally like.

687
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: Okay, but you can't take that seriously, you know, no, no, no, yeah,

688
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: but I would you would internalize.

689
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Garly when you're watching these couples, because you

690
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: were the one last season who was speculated about in

691
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 2: a romantic relationship and I feel like when there's two

692
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: single people who are paired together, it naturally happens, like

693
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: it's a part of the show. And I also think

694
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: there's I'm curious if there's an element where if you're

695
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: one of those people, you're like, let's use it to

696
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: our advantage because people are invested in our relationship. They

697
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: want to see us on the show for longer. Yeah,

698
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: do you have any details on any of the Jen

699
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: and Sasha or I mean, Jen and Sasha have natural chemistry.

700
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: I have no idea if they are dating or not,

701
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 5: but they have the most beautiful chemistry together and I

702
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 5: ship them so hard, like just watching them like interact,

703
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 5: like it is very natural, and what they post online

704
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 5: is very much what they are in person.

705
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: And so I am a total like route for Gen.

706
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 5: And Sasha because I think they would be so cute

707
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 5: together bricks and glebe no idea.

708
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: I can't tell what's.

709
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,239
Speaker 5: Going on that I like, I wish I knew what

710
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 5: was going on right now. Well, he was at her house,

711
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 5: like he posted a TikTok like literally in her living room,

712
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 5: but then told me and as a rehearsal it was

713
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 5: his living room, Like that's not the same, that's not

714
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 5: it like you are in her living room.

715
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: We have done the research, but none of us know

716
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: what's going on with that.

717
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 5: But I will say they had great chemistry from what

718
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 5: I saw, and even off the camera they're very together.

719
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: I think.

720
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 5: I don't know, but they're crazy.

721
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been it's been like a saga off the show.

722
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: It's like we're following like a soap opera.

723
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: The star season has been literally likes just like a

724
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: total saga.

725
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: They should do a show called Beyond Dancing with the Stars.

726
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 4: And it's like following everyone outside of like rehearsals.

727
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 5: No, I agree, or like the pros like falling along

728
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 5: with our life and what it looks like outside of

729
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 5: Dancing with the Stars.

730
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: Y'all should pitch that. Yeah, we should open.

731
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 5: I feel like it's probably already been pitched, like I

732
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 5: I would imagine it's been pitched.

733
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: After this season.

734
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but actually, so you brought it up because

735
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: the season is coming to an end. So when this

736
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 3: season wraps up, do they, as a pro dancer, do

737
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: they like say, oh, we want you for next season

738
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: or do you just go season by season and then

739
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 3: they like pick you up?

740
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 5: You go season by season, so they'll pick you up

741
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 5: literally two weeks before you need to be down there.

742
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah wow yeah.

743
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: So and then when does the next season start? Do

744
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 3: you know?

745
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 5: It'll start same time this year, so like August September.

746
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 5: I think we don't know official dates yet, but I

747
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 5: think it's around that same time. So basically, after this season,

748
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 5: we do a tour. US pro dancers go and do

749
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 5: a tour and celebrities come on the tour as well.

750
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 5: But that happens for about three months, and that's January

751
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 5: through March, and then I am home for all of

752
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 5: the summer, just traveling though.

753
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of like doing my own thing.

754
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 5: And then we'll get a call about two weeks before

755
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 5: we need to be down here again, and you're either

756
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 5: on or you're not. That you don't know until then,

757
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 5: which is kind of crazy.

758
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: You did tour last year, though, right, was that your

759
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: first time? Yes? How was that experience? Because you're like

760
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: living on a bus. Tanya loves the idea of a

761
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: tour bus. I find it daunting, but it's so cute,

762
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: so fun. No, literally, it was so much fun.

763
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 5: Like I thought, like I had heard from people like

764
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 5: my sister, like she she loved touring, but like the

765
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 5: bunks and like the travel was just not her thing.

766
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 5: But for me, I was like I adapted so well,

767
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 5: like had the mess sleeps on the tour bus, Like.

768
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 2: Living out of a suitcase has never really been my thing.

769
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 5: I've never been good at packing, like my mom always

770
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 5: used to pack for me. But somehow I went out

771
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 5: on tour and it was just like so fun. I'm

772
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: just like young too, so I feel like it was

773
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 5: just exciting for me and to be in a new

774
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 5: city and like see that many places in that period

775
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 5: of time, which just so cool. And also performing every

776
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: single night for people that are just cheering for you

777
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 5: and that love you and like support you is so

778
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 5: surreal and so cool, and it was like one of

779
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 5: the most fulfilling experiences I've ever had.

780
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: So it's really so fun. Yeah, I loved it.

781
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like tours, Like, to me, tour's like

782
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: a sorority.

783
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: I knew you were gonna say that, Yeah, Like that's

784
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 2: what I have.

785
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: That's like kind of the like the the camaraderie and

786
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: the I don't know, the togetherness that like I feel

787
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 3: is kind of the same.

788
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

789
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 5: No, we're all just like hanging out like on the bus,

790
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 5: like in tight quarters. But it's so fun and it's

791
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 5: like you learn something new about each person every single

792
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 5: day and you're just like, Wow, you're so funny or

793
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 5: you're crazy.

794
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: You do come from a family of dancers, and did

795
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 2: you feel, first of all, is there a world where

796
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 2: you and Lindsay could or would be on the same

797
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 2: season together? Is that like a dream? Oh?

798
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 5: Yes, that is like one of my biggest dreams. I

799
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 5: think I would love that so much. Well, I would

800
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 5: love that so much. But just Lindsay right now, she's

801
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 5: just like mom life and it's so hard to commute

802
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 5: down here, oh yeah, with kids, and it just makes

803
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 5: things like pretty tricky. But I think we have to

804
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 5: figure it out at least one of these times, because

805
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 5: it would be.

806
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: So fun, like literally so fun. But your other you're

807
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 2: is it four girls?

808
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 5: Yes?

809
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: Or four girls? So there's I have three older sisters, okay,

810
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: so and everyone's a dancer, right, yes?

811
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 5: So we all Yeah, we all grew up dancing. My

812
00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 5: mom owned a dance studio like the first like ten

813
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 5: years of my life, and so she kind of just

814
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 5: like made a little hub for us, got like the

815
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 5: best coaches and we all just kind of grew up

816
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 5: dancing together. And then Lindsay went and to Dance with

817
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 5: the Stars. My second sister was on soete can Dance,

818
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 5: and then Brindley, my closest sister, she danced all the

819
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 5: way until high school and went to nursing school and

820
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 5: then there's me.

821
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: So it was so fun and it was so cool

822
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 2: to like.

823
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's not like you go to dance,

824
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 5: but it's like because we were with our sisters, we

825
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 5: were all just getting close and tight because were all

826
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 5: going to dance together and like all just like hanging

827
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 5: out at the studio. And then my mom owned the studio,

828
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 5: so she was with us all day every day, and

829
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 5: I don't know, it was just like really fun like

830
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 5: family affair that we had.

831
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: When you were going on Dancing with the Stars the

832
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: last year, did Lindsay give you and what was her

833
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: advice for you going on the show, Because beyond the

834
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: dancing and like having to the core, we our minds

835
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: are blown by the choreography that you'll just come up

836
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: with multiple dances. I just can't process. It's crazy. But

837
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 2: there's the production of it. There's you know, having people

838
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: trying to create a story in a sense. So did

839
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: she give you any advice that you really held onto? Yeah, No,

840
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: she gave me so much advice, Like Lindsay is.

841
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 5: I call her every single day for simply like how

842
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 5: do I respond to this text?

843
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 2: Like how do I respond to this person?

844
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 5: Like? She helps me every step of the way. But

845
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 5: I think one of the biggest things that she said

846
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 5: to me that I took away was just always remain yourself, Like,

847
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 5: always stay true to who you are, remember who you

848
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 5: are as a person, and like, no matter what people say,

849
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 5: no matter what happens out there, remember who you are

850
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 5: and remember what makes you really happy in life.

851
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 2: And that just kind of I put that thought.

852
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 5: In my mind throughout the whole entire season, because again,

853
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 5: so many things happened for me, and it was a

854
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 5: huge year, and I don't think Lindsay even experienced the

855
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 5: kind of like craziness that my life entiled last year,

856
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 5: and how open my.

857
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 2: Like everything was right.

858
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 5: So it's like what she had said to me helped

859
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 5: me so much just realize, like all of this is

860
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 5: so crazy, but what really matters is who I am

861
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 5: and what I stand for and what I believe in.

862
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: And that's all I can focus on.

863
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 5: And if people like me, they like me, and if

864
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 5: they don't, they can kindly unfollow. And it's just kind

865
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 5: of one of those things where it's just like people

866
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 5: are gonna like me for me, and they liked me

867
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 5: because of how I was in the beginning. So I'm

868
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 5: just gonna remain the same and try to stay as

869
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 5: much positive, like have this much positive attitude about like

870
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 5: everything that's going on.

871
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so true though, because TikTok opened this whole

872
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: new world of people to have opinions and speculate, and

873
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: likely someone can just make a video about their opinion

874
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: and it can go viral and they almost spark other

875
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 2: people to like have that same opinion. It's kind of

876
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: a weird thing that happens with Tick. And even when

877
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 2: when I was on The Bachelor years ago, they didn't

878
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 2: have that, and I'm like, thank god, yeah, thank god

879
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: that wasn't there.

880
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 3: Literally just pick up part every everything detail.

881
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

882
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 5: No, Lindsay was like there was no social media in

883
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 5: my first season of Dances Stars, Like literally all people

884
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 5: saw was the TV screen and she was like people

885
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 5: didn't talk about it, like there was Twitter, Like she

886
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 5: didn't really look at Twitter, but like that was basically it.

887
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 5: So she was like, it was so crazy, Like to

888
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 5: go on TikTok and just have it be about you

889
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 5: is just insane, and like to have that like openness

890
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 5: about it.

891
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: It's just so crazy.

892
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 3: Do you go in and look for it or do

893
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: you try to avoid it?

894
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 5: I try to avoid it, Like I definitely want to,

895
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 5: like when I'm not working, I want.

896
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 2: To just like focus on life it just myself.

897
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 5: It was really hard last year because it was like

898
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 5: anytime I'd go on my TikTok for you page, my

899
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 5: videos would be about me and Harry and I just

900
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 5: be like, I can't escape it.

901
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: It was just like a lot.

902
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 5: It was really fun though, and like I enjoyed it,

903
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 5: but at the same time, I was just like I'd

904
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 5: rather about something else other than like what's going on

905
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 5: in my life right now, you know.

906
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: So I'm tired of seeing Harry's face. I'm seeing him

907
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: at rehearsals, and.

908
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 3: That's power because I think I would be the opposite.

909
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 3: I feel like I would be watching like get like

910
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: one mean comment, I go and I like look that

911
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 3: person's profile to find out everything I can find out.

912
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 5: I did have that problem in the beginning, Like I

913
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 5: was so invested in what people were saying. Yeah, like

914
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 5: if there was any hate, I was like I need

915
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 5: to know, like is there more?

916
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: Like what else are they saying about me?

917
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 5: Like I was so invested in that, and like specifically

918
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 5: just this last summer, there were so many things that

919
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 5: were happening in my life and so many things that

920
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 5: were coming out, and I got so sucked into Reddit,

921
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 5: like so sucked in, and like I let it literally

922
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 5: take over my life, Like I let those people's opinions

923
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 5: of how everything in my life was going on like

924
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 5: affect me. And I like had to have a power

925
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 5: with my sisters just kind of like Riley, like it

926
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 5: does not matter, Like what these people say does not matter.

927
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 5: And there's so many people that love and support you

928
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 5: and want the best for you. And it's like even

929
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 5: looking at like there were mean ones, but there was

930
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 5: a lot of support ones. But even looking at that

931
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 5: and trying to look through your life in comments and

932
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 5: on a Reddit page, it's just not how you should live,

933
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 5: even if it's positive, even if they're lifting you up,

934
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 5: it's just not how you should.

935
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: Look at it.

936
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 3: And these are still just all these hairy mean ones. Yes,

937
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 3: but what was so let's just say you guys were dating.

938
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 2: What's so bad about that? Wasn't it? Didn't it come

939
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: out that he was dating someone else? Yeah? Yeah, okay,

940
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 2: thank you.

941
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 5: I was I was like yeah, I was like, yeah.

942
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I know it was kind of crazy, yes.

943
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 4: But yeah's over here, no worries.

944
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: No, I do think you're so right. It's like you

945
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 2: as as yeah, that's as to read the negative comments.

946
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: It's all so not realistic to see people just like

947
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 2: constantly complimenting you or talking about how beautiful you are.

948
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 4: Because that's not life either, Like you're not like it

949
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 4: feels good, but it's.

950
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 2: Like if you let your like day be affected by

951
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: how many nice comment you readers, how many badly comment

952
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: read it's like that's not life like, that's not how

953
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: we're meant to live. And it's like our brains we

954
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: were not created to process so many people's opinions on

955
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 2: who we are. Yeah, don't know us exactly exactly.

956
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 3: I feel like once the season wraps, is it like

957
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 3: a weird It must be because you're dancing all day

958
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 3: every day. Your schedule during this season is.

959
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 2: Like so wild.

960
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 3: And then it just stops. I know you go on tour,

961
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: but like is it like a crazy kind of like

962
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 3: juxtaposition like after the season finale.

963
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, I think I feel the weirdest after tour

964
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 5: because it's like once you're done with the season, it's

965
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 5: like you go straight to tour and it's just like

966
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 5: crazy life. Once you get back, it's the weirdest feeling.

967
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 5: It's like you don't like every time you sit still,

968
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 5: you're just like, no, I shouldn't be sitting still. Like

969
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 5: I remember last year, I traveled just about anywhere and

970
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 5: everywhere because I was just like I can't sit still.

971
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 5: But it's this crazy feeling of just because you're used

972
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 5: to that, you're just used to that go go go,

973
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 5: especially on tour, Like it's just so crazy to like

974
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 5: take a moment.

975
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 2: But like it takes you like a month or.

976
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 5: Two to be able to be like Okay, I can

977
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 5: breathe now, Like I can just sit at home and

978
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 5: like chill. But like for those first two months you're

979
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 5: kind of just like I need to keep moving and

980
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 5: doing stuff because it's just you go, go, go.

981
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 2: And then just to stop is just like it's pretty abrupt. Well,

982
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: you know, having like sold out crowd screaming for you

983
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 2: every night. So it's like to go home to your

984
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 2: silent home. Yeah, this is weird. You walk in your house,

985
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: it's silent. You're like, I'm like, no attention. Have you

986
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 2: and Walker talked about how y'all are going to navigate

987
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 2: because you'll be long distance? Yeah, right, Sad, I've all

988
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: talked about it because yeah, yeah, it's going to be

989
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: an adjustment. Yeah, no, we've talked about it.

990
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 5: For what's nice about tour is every week I have

991
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 5: a day off and it's in a different city. So

992
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 5: we're planning on like finding days off where he can

993
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 5: come and see me because I can't leave.

994
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I can't really leave unless I have like

995
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: a double day off or multiple days off.

996
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 5: So we're going to try and coordinate where he can

997
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 5: like spend a day off with me and be there

998
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 5: with me. But the nice thing about it is it's

999
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 5: kind of his off season for football when I'm on tour,

1000
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 5: so he is able to travel and do things a

1001
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 5: little bit more than he would now.

1002
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: So we're gonna see how that goes.

1003
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 5: But like my oldest sister Lindsay, she did long distance

1004
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 5: with her boyfriend and she's given me some pointers on

1005
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 5: how it all works. But I think it'll be great

1006
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 5: because he's just awesome and like texting and calling is

1007
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 5: just enough for us.

1008
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 2: So I think it'll be good. Y'all are gonna figure

1009
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: it out. Yeah, we'll figure it out. The invisible strings

1010
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: always figure it out, always pulls you back together. Yes,

1011
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: it's true. Yeah, Okay, who in this in the cast

1012
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 2: of Dents and the stars with who's left? Who do

1013
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 2: you find to be your biggest competition? Ooo? That's a

1014
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: good question. I don't know. Everyone is really good. Yeah,

1015
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: it's a strong it's a strong final. Is it? Final five?

1016
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 2: Right now? Final six? Sick? Yeah? Six.

1017
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 5: Joey is really good, Like he's just a really good

1018
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 5: dancer and he's just so like charismatic and people love him.

1019
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 5: Danny's getting really good, like he is showing so much improvement.

1020
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 5: I know, people love like a climbing story like rising

1021
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 5: to the occasion. Chandler's also just so good, like so good.

1022
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 5: She's just been really good throughout this whole season. And

1023
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 5: then Alona, I'm.

1024
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: Just obsessed with her.

1025
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 5: She's just a queen and like she's like improving every

1026
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 5: single episode, and like I just she makes my heart

1027
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 5: so happy and everything she stands for is just so amazing.

1028
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: And then Dwight is.

1029
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 5: Just I don't know, everyone's just so good. Like Dwight

1030
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 5: is so good, he's improving. He has such a fun personality.

1031
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 5: Like whoever goes home next week? Like I'm scared, like

1032
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 5: because it's like everyone is so good and I literally

1033
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 5: do not know who's gonna go home?

1034
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: Like, actually, is there a bond between Stephen and Alona

1035
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: because of the Olympic connection?

1036
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like I like find them talking about

1037
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 5: it a lot, and they're just like really cute when

1038
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 5: they like interact because they're both like I don't just

1039
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 5: have that athlete mentality. But the funny thing is they

1040
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 5: never really interacted that at the Olympics because it's just

1041
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 5: like so.

1042
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 2: Big their events never really like crossed over.

1043
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 5: But like to see them talk and like have this

1044
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 5: like competitive like funny, like Banter is just really funny.

1045
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 2: I love it. I love her. Yeah, No, she is

1046
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: the best. Yeah, Like I just love her so much.

1047
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 5: And she's so funny, Like anytime you talk to her,

1048
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 5: you'll just laugh, like literally beat your pants.

1049
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: She's so funny. She's so funny. She's so good on TikTok. Oh,

1050
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 2: so I feel like you all too, are both like

1051
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 2: the TikTok. Yeah, TikTok of the group. She's very Yes,

1052
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: what's coming up this next week for a Dance to

1053
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 2: the Stars dance twice?

1054
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 5: Yes, it's so we're recreating an iconic dance that it

1055
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 5: existed before on the show.

1056
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 3: Can you tell us much one you're doing?

1057
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 5: Yes, So I'm doing Charlie and Marx Vieni's waltz from

1058
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 5: C thirty one.

1059
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: Oh so iconic, so amazing, truly one of the best

1060
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: dances I think Dancing Stars has ever had. So it's

1061
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: a lot to live up to.

1062
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 5: But honestly, like me and Steven are we know we're

1063
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 5: not as good as Charlie and Markure, and we like

1064
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 5: just we kind of have that mentality. But for us,

1065
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 5: like it's one of the most perfect dances to showcase

1066
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 5: Steven's like growth and how much he has become a dancer.

1067
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 2: And the Vinie Waltz is a very technical dance.

1068
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 5: So I think if we can go out there and

1069
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 5: like really just showcase that, I think people will be

1070
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 5: really proud of Steven.

1071
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: I'll be really proud of Steven.

1072
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 5: Because it's hard, but he really has become a dancer

1073
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 5: and I really want people to see that because he's

1074
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 5: learned so much and I don't know, he's just so special,

1075
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 5: So I hope people see it.

1076
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that this season you got

1077
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: to have a partner where it was like there's been

1078
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 2: so much focus of on Yell's friendship and just like

1079
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 2: your relationship as dance partners and the growth that he's had.

1080
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, and then like I think people just love you.

1081
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: So I think people are just always going to be

1082
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 2: rooting for you and whoever you wish, whoever you're with. Yeah,

1083
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 2: my final question if you I know, y'all don't get

1084
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: to choose your partner. It's always a surprise, is what

1085
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 2: we told. What we were told. If you got to

1086
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: choose your dream partner, who would it be?

1087
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 5: Oh, my top probably Justin Bieber.

1088
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,680
