Speaker 1: You're listening to Jogasuan Now with me Jojo Sea, an
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio podcast. Everybody, welcome back to Joshuan Now I am
Speaker 1: here with Iman Shumper. It is part two of our
Speaker 1: chat and man, welcome to Josh Hero Now. You've been here.
Speaker 1: You've already done part one, but now we're on part two.
Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: When you so so you you you become a big
Speaker 1: wig in this league, right, Is it a big deal
Speaker 1: if you're late to a practice?
Speaker 2: If you're late to that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It's I mean, now if you make it an issue. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like if you just late all the time. But it's
Speaker 3: like if you late sometimes your coach won't even say nothing.
Speaker 2: You just walk in.
Speaker 3: Nobody says anything but say you was late and we
Speaker 3: needed to do something, Like they may put somebody in
Speaker 3: your spot. If you were starting and you're not there
Speaker 3: to be getting a shoot around. The coach may be like, yep,
Speaker 3: next guy up, yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He may you know, it may bother him a little bit,
Speaker 3: but he's not gonna react or change temperature of the
Speaker 3: team because we have a goal, like we're going to win,
Speaker 3: Like we're not trying to veer over just because you
Speaker 3: was late today. Now we're gonna focus on you and
Speaker 3: talk about that. Now the energy ship, we're about to
Speaker 3: focus on war. We're going to war.
Speaker 1: I think once you're in that position to you are
Speaker 1: smart enough to know don't be late to practice. And
Speaker 1: so if you're late to practice, you are going to
Speaker 1: be hard on your cell phone. And I'm already about it.
Speaker 3: But when you when you're twenty one and you just
Speaker 3: get in the league, you are gonna try and like
Speaker 3: it's like talking to your dad early.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sitting.
Speaker 3: Here like trying to explain myself and all a bunch
Speaker 3: of grown ass men just laughing at me, like look
Speaker 3: at this dude.
Speaker 1: Like get out of here.
Speaker 2: Really the first time.
Speaker 3: They left a bill, they left me to pay like
Speaker 3: a five thousand dollars like tab at dinner. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: was like it was my first time seeing something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, why y'all bought all it? Like, bro, we
Speaker 2: need to split. They was looking at me like split it, nah, No,
Speaker 2: Like bro, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Like it's just easier put your card on it.
Speaker 3: But they was like, you really don't know that you
Speaker 3: have money? Like bro, Like you're not broke no more. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's okay.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: They like put your card down. We did this on
Speaker 3: purpose so you could learn that you're not a little
Speaker 3: kid no more bro pay for them, like look at
Speaker 3: your account like they was like grow up, Like we're
Speaker 3: good now you got it. Stop doing the frugal weird shit.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it really you become a family, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was another thing.
Speaker 3: I always had incredible teammates, like I've had some of
Speaker 3: the part of my favorite team.
Speaker 1: It could be it could also be a middle school
Speaker 1: team like.
Speaker 3: Nah, it's that twenty sixteen cash team we had. It
Speaker 3: was so many wild emotions and factors. Yeah, like that's
Speaker 3: the most family oriented feeling, like because family is like
Speaker 3: shit happens, you get into it, you argue, yep, you cry,
Speaker 3: you huggy, like watch movies together, like you laugh about
Speaker 3: random shit that goes on in life.
Speaker 2: Like we was like that.
Speaker 3: And I think especially because we had those long playoff
Speaker 3: hauls during the playoffs, like it's like having no school
Speaker 3: or something like it's weird. It's like lock in so tough,
Speaker 3: and it it's a it's a it's an energy that
Speaker 3: you can't describe like we've that twenty sixteen team. We
Speaker 3: actually were having issues and a lot of bickering and
Speaker 3: a lot of shit goes on, and then it's like
Speaker 3: playoffs hit, we hate them.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: It's like you all become a team in one time.
Speaker 1: It feels probably like siblings where it's like, don't fucking
Speaker 1: touch my phone charger, but you need a kidney?
Speaker 2: I got you real talk. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep.
Speaker 3: We was giving away kidneys. That's what we was giving
Speaker 3: away kidney's. That's the type of team we were.
Speaker 1: Okay, now everybody kidney givers. I mean I shouldn't say everybody,
Speaker 1: but ninety eight percent of the world knows your your career,
Speaker 1: what you're known for, your your legit career stories, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you've told you your playoff stories a
Speaker 1: billion times, your championship stories one hundred times, your your
Speaker 1: other famous player story one hundred times. But I want
Speaker 1: to hear just just the first thing that comes to
Speaker 1: your mind. And it might be the story of the century,
Speaker 1: or it might be just something so small or so stupid,
Speaker 1: but take your like, what is what is a story

Speaker 3: like she wanted me to do the dancing Dancing in
Speaker 3: the Stars, like but that's how I gave it to her,
Speaker 3: Like she want me to do that, but I was
Speaker 3: trying to do so I was in the middle of
Speaker 3: doing something else and my mom was trying to like
Speaker 3: tell me about some ship she saw about that and
Speaker 3: she was I was like, yeah, they was telling me
Speaker 3: about that in the Stars thing.
Speaker 2: She's like, it's dancing with the Stars. They want you
Speaker 2: to come on there. I'm like, yeah, calm down, Like whoa.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I was just talking like yo, mom,
Speaker 1: be cool, Like I just joined I just joined this
Speaker 1: board of a charity, Dancers Against Cancer, And I was
Speaker 1: talking to the founder of it. His name is Rick,
Speaker 1: and we were joking around because we were like, if
Speaker 1: you really want a celebrity to do something, it's best
Speaker 1: to just go to the source, go straight to the
Speaker 1: celebrity if you can. You know, it's it's it's harder
Speaker 1: to go through management or agent or publicist, like, if
Speaker 1: it's something that you can just ask for a quick favor,
Speaker 1: go straight to the source. And then I was like, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: y'all go through my mom. And they were like, the
Speaker 1: only person better to get a request from a celebrity
Speaker 1: from the celebrity themselves is to go through that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When when my mama says, you say yes, she was
Speaker 1: so excited.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh man, So I called Ashley. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'll do it. Yeah, I ain't doing nothing that you
Speaker 2: how long? How long?
Speaker 3: They say, yeah, I had to do it. Well, the
Speaker 3: obligation is this, and then if I keep winning. If
Speaker 3: you keep winning, then it's this. If you keep winning,
Speaker 3: then it's this. But it's officially over this day. I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'm in YEP. And in my mind,
Speaker 3: I was just like, I'm gonna have a good time.
Speaker 3: My mom's gonna come, We're gonna wear some cool outfits.
Speaker 2: They're gonna vote me off.
Speaker 3: What I was thinking when I first came there, and
Speaker 3: later I got on there and I'm like, me and
Speaker 3: DJ started hanging out, and I'm like, oh, I love
Speaker 3: this little lady. She was.
Speaker 2: She's so funny.
Speaker 1: And mine was partnered with Danny, who is I mean,
Speaker 1: she's so cool, cool a little bit. They were the
Speaker 1: funnest couple because how are you yours? He's six six
Speaker 1: and Danny is I mean maybe five two yeah, maybe,
Speaker 1: And so there's there's quite the height difference pushing the
Speaker 1: DJ and it just I remember the y'all's first week
Speaker 1: and I just was watching them and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is cute.
Speaker 2: Like I like them, I like cool because DJ is
Speaker 2: like very.
Speaker 3: It was like it's cool to be around somebody that's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: she's small, but she has the spunk.
Speaker 1: And the is so on it.
Speaker 3: She was like very yeah, she's very, very much, so
Speaker 3: able to take me actually when I'm about to veer off,
Speaker 3: because she knew sometimes like he's not a dancer, he's
Speaker 3: gonna check out, he's gonna start doing some random dance
Speaker 3: that has nothing to do with what we got going on,
Speaker 3: because like sometimes it'll be like that where I know
Speaker 3: the step, yep, but I've already messed up the step.
Speaker 2: I'm not about to mess up the dance.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna do something smooth, and then DJ would
Speaker 3: stop me like listen, keep the smooth shit.
Speaker 2: You have to get the step. We're getting scored on
Speaker 2: the step.
Speaker 3: I remember, yeah, you keep just doing your own thing
Speaker 3: and it's cool, Like you think everybody at home can't notice,
Speaker 3: but they can notice.
Speaker 1: What's crazy about Dancing with the Stars is like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure, right, and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure to do good and remember your step. And I
Speaker 1: remember I was put in a position where I was
Speaker 1: I was with another females with Jenna. She was my partner,
Speaker 1: and so I got put in the position of being
Speaker 1: the lead, being the male, and so when we would
Speaker 1: do lifts, it was me lifting Jen and I remember
Speaker 1: being like I will never drop this perfect fucking angel,
Speaker 1: Like I will protect her with my life. I will
Speaker 1: go down head first if it's to save her, right.
Speaker 1: And at first with you and Danny, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, she has to be terrified because what
Speaker 1: if I'm wm just was like, oh, forgot to catch you,
Speaker 1: like I don't know.
Speaker 2: And she was very much so like yeah, throw me
Speaker 2: way up there, like yeah you.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Well, then I saw one. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: dear god, this is this is going to be a
Speaker 1: rap like that, some shit's gonna happen. It's a rap
Speaker 1: and then during it was Halloween week. I saw it
Speaker 1: was not during the performance, but we do a full
Speaker 1: dress rehearsal during day. And I don't know if you
Speaker 1: remember this or not, but y'all did one of your
Speaker 1: lifts in Halloween week and and if you you she
Speaker 1: it was the one where you she went up on
Speaker 1: your shoulders right and you're supposed to let go, and
Speaker 1: then you caught her right. It was that lyft and
Speaker 1: during the dress rehearsal, she went up on your shoulders
Speaker 1: and she like, she wasn't balanced, and it wasn't your fault,
Speaker 1: it wasn't her fault. It just was the universe. But
Speaker 1: I remember being like, don't you.
Speaker 2: Like going on?
Speaker 1: Like I remember thinking that because I.
Speaker 3: Knew she three or four times though that uh we
Speaker 3: were on tour and DJ actually slipped. We've done like
Speaker 3: I remember one time she she went up, she slipped,
Speaker 3: I caught her here and she like does this. She
Speaker 3: did some roll or something and just like into the choreo.
Speaker 1: Like you always had her.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't never, she ain't never just going And.
Speaker 1: Once I could see that you were never going to
Speaker 1: let her drop to the floor, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a good man.
Speaker 3: Even the times that she's slipped and it's not you
Speaker 3: had it pisses me off, but it's like I'm not
Speaker 3: letting her.
Speaker 1: Were always you were always very aware of her.
Speaker 2: I'm a good I'm a good cheerleading base.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had your life the other bass.
Speaker 3: Yes, had a tape on my hands and everything. But
Speaker 3: I got all that cheerleadership now, pat you see what
Speaker 3: I'm saying at the football game, and yeah, all that
Speaker 3: I got the I got that in me, y'all.
Speaker 1: Would do when she would go, right, we're gonna learn
Speaker 1: this new lift, right, how how.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I would do, right as soon as
Speaker 3: she said, oh, I got another.
Speaker 2: Left, like all right.
Speaker 1: But like for me with Jenna, like the lifts for
Speaker 1: me were very hard. I had zero strength and smaller
Speaker 1: than me.
Speaker 3: I think your lifts, uh, y'all had to be a
Speaker 3: little different with your grace, Like your lifts had to
Speaker 3: be graceful, beat.
Speaker 1: And I didn't have to.
Speaker 3: They were quick on yeah, like you had to get
Speaker 3: to the next thing too. Like a lot of my
Speaker 3: lifts were just like yeah, it was just like impressive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even hard for you to like pick her up.
Speaker 3: I think the practice of it, Like if I had
Speaker 3: to do it freestyle, where it's like I just picked
Speaker 3: her up one time, Yeah, that'd be easy as hell.
Speaker 3: But it's like when you got to do rehearsal over
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, you start to get tired.
Speaker 2: But when we would be on the day, on the day,
Speaker 2: it was like always on it. I could pick you
Speaker 2: up and we could do it.
Speaker 3: And people I get a lot of credit for the
Speaker 3: stuff that I'll do picking her up, but people don't
Speaker 3: realize like Danny's core strength and her ability.
Speaker 2: To keep herself straight and makes it lighter. If they're
Speaker 2: like loose like that, it's like that's a different way work. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she gets herself to where she's an arrow. It's like
Speaker 2: moving a lamp yep, exactly. You don't feel like one
Speaker 2: of the craziest things arrow. Like if you go look
Speaker 2: at her when I picked her up off the she's solid,
Speaker 2: she is straight lines.
Speaker 1: And she makes it easy, makes it easy.
Speaker 3: It makes it look like I got some super ability.
Speaker 3: But I'm like, you're not noticing that she is planking right.
Speaker 1: Now, Crazyanny, And I got my hands like literally I'm
Speaker 1: picking herup by hips.
Speaker 2: I'm like I'm not controlling her.
Speaker 3: I'm just picking up It's like picking up a board,
Speaker 3: picking up a two boy ful right now.
Speaker 1: I remember just every week watching y'all and just loving it,
Speaker 1: and and you always had joy no matter what the
Speaker 1: dance was. Grace night. I remember y'all had.
Speaker 3: Fun after a while, when I when when we start
Speaker 3: coming out the trailerst and we all start bothering.
Speaker 2: You took. At first, I was gonna let I swear,
Speaker 2: I was gonna let.
Speaker 3: Everybody stay serious and lock in yup.
Speaker 1: And then then Mon brought his backpack with speakers in it, and.
Speaker 2: You got crazy. It got crazy.
Speaker 3: But then they all started, like people start requesting songs.
Speaker 1: Fun Mon used to just have music blasting all the
Speaker 1: time at the time. He's always rapping, he's always doing
Speaker 1: his thing. His car would roll up, windows down, music blaring.
Speaker 1: He'd be in the parking lot jamming out. I remember
Speaker 1: there is one day I come into rehearsals right and
Speaker 1: you are. You're in the parking lot and you're jamming out,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, he must be early. And
Speaker 1: I go up and Danny was like, where the fuck
Speaker 1: is mine? You're supposed to be here two hours ago.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, he's in the parking lot smoking
Speaker 1: and I was listening to a lot of music, and she
Speaker 1: was like, what the fuck he was supposed to be
Speaker 1: here two hours ago. And I was like, he's definitely
Speaker 1: down there, he's just not up here.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It was so funny that I remember you came up
Speaker 1: and she was like, she was like, we're not We're not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was not dealing with you today. You're done,
Speaker 3: She's I always I always enjoyed that, that like being
Speaker 3: able to be in the back and getting able to
Speaker 3: being able to see people's like real personalities because I
Speaker 3: know we all have to like put on our professional
Speaker 3: what people want to see from us, and everything were
Speaker 3: miked up all day and we got cameras in our fice,
Speaker 3: but that those times that we have outfits switches and
Speaker 3: we're able to just really talk and chill and feel.
Speaker 2: Like we got our hair down.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 3: I appreciated those moments so much, which is why when
Speaker 3: we got on stage, I'm like, bro, y'all could vote
Speaker 3: me off today.
Speaker 2: I've been having fun every day and I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that I was going to have this
Speaker 3: mone I didn't come into this thinking, Oh, we're gonna
Speaker 3: have so much fun. I'm gonna meet so many people
Speaker 3: that I'm gonna want to hang out for real.
Speaker 2: Like it's crazy.
Speaker 3: We got tight with people that it's like, damn, I
Speaker 3: ain't think we'd have any common ground.
Speaker 1: It's one of those shows too that like a mom
Speaker 1: and I we haven't seen each other since.
Speaker 2: But I feel like I've been seeing you every day.
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's a cool thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good thing.
Speaker 3: The Dancing with the Stars thing is, especially when you
Speaker 3: buy in. It's like anything that you do with competition
Speaker 3: like that. After a while, it's like we all you
Speaker 3: all are doing it's that's the common ground. We're all
Speaker 3: doing the same thing. We're all trying to accomplish the
Speaker 3: same thing. And then after we leave from that, everybody's
Speaker 3: happy for each other in different fields.
Speaker 2: Crazy no longer in competition. Yeah, that's the coolest part about.
Speaker 1: It, exactly. And it's like everyone was just having fun everyone.
Speaker 2: I'm a shoot.
Speaker 3: I didn't have nothing but the ball on that show,
Speaker 3: nothing but the ball I was. I had a good
Speaker 3: time the whole time.
Speaker 1: What it's about.
Speaker 2: I loved my dance partner, she got baby Nikias.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's so cute, so cute.
Speaker 3: And posh, giving me extra extra help and lessons when
Speaker 3: even when he got eliminated, he was like, yeah, I'll
Speaker 3: help you work on Like I don't got a partner
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, might help you. Yeah, Like it.
Speaker 3: Was cool man, even the you know, the producers that
Speaker 3: was involved, and even our pas that we had, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, this is like the staff. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: had a good time. He was messing with the cameraman
Speaker 3: before the yeah, before at blocking it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's this one cameraman. He's on what's called
Speaker 1: a steady camera. It's basically a backpack with a camera
Speaker 1: on it. It's super heavy, and like, we all have
Speaker 1: to learn to dance, but this man learned coreography for
Speaker 1: everyone's dances. He would run around with the camerad in
Speaker 1: the dance. But you can't be in the way, and
Speaker 1: then you can't be blocking the camera. I mean, this
Speaker 1: man had the hardest job on the show.
Speaker 2: And he was he was great and he was awesome,
Speaker 2: Like he was light spirited, was.
Speaker 1: So and he was so smart. He always knew his ship.
Speaker 1: He never messed up. All Right, we've kind of as
Speaker 1: we've been chatting, I do this thing. It's called it's
Speaker 1: called Past, Present and Future. And the reason why is
Speaker 1: because I one day it was like, oh, it's the
Speaker 1: PPP Past Present in future. Then I realized future spelled
