<v Speaker 2>it's a lot of fun up here.

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>How fun is this to do together? I won't we

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>won't talk about what Savor is yet, but just you

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>guys have worked together, I mean, is it your entire lives?

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 2>This is a twenty fifty year.

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 3>Since the first time we actually made money together and

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 3>had perform as performers on stage where I called him

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 3>out because I had a three couple show in Brooklyn

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 3>and we were performing in restaurants up and down right

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 3>in Beach and one of my couples pulled out and

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 3>I had a twelve year old brother who.

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Was one of the best dances.

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 3>In the US, and I was like, well, you know

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 3>what Chach is, Chacha, you want to come do this?

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 2>He's like, sure, what are you paying?

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 3>He didn't ask, he said sure, he danced and then

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.399
<v Speaker 3>I paid him and it's like, oh damn, Like this

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 3>is this is a great exchange. So you know, the guys,

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 3>the commerce and he was born and the producer me

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 3>was kind of like, yeah, but it's been twenty five

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 3>years since and we're still here. And not only that,

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 3>but this is the best project yet. And another, you know,

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 3>something that moves the needle and something that people say.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Hey, this is very unique.

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 3>It's very different, and in our industry, you know, to

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 3>come out with something that is unique and.

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a huge fee, it's a huge feet.

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and yeah, well we'll get right into it since

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.959
<v Speaker 1>we're already teasing it up. It's called Savor and as

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>in like the the tasting notes of savor this wine

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>or savor this food is the term, and so Savor

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>is going to be kind of after Ours Cabaret in

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Napa Valley. Explain what we're doing.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 2>So Saber app to Ours is a wine tasting show,

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>but we do our tastings a little different at saber.

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Every performance you see at our show in the evening

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>is inspired by the very wine that you will be

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>drinking throughout the evening. You get four distinctly different servings

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>that are complemented by distinctly different performances throughout that tasting experience.

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>So you guys are gonna pair the dance with the wine.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the relationship that our creative director and the

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 2>creator of the show, Mark swan Hart built, And and

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 2>and kind of that was the inception of the idea

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 2>for this is he was having a glass of wine,

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>which is where kind of he has most of his muses,

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 2>and he kind of, you know, he writes most of

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>his shows over a glass of wine, and in this

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>particular moment, he was like, why don't I just write

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 2>the show around wine? Yeah? And yeah, No. It was

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>an amazing process to even witness.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 3>It was forty years ago that he called us and said,

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 3>and you know, the project back then was called Tasting Notes.

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>It was very on point. It was very simple and

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.119
<v Speaker 3>clear and unique. And again it was we got hoped

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 3>and we we couldn't wait to see it. It's pretty

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 3>much exactly as it wasn't back then in his head

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 3>and to see it come to fruition. Not only that,

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 3>but you know the response that we got trying to

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 3>we needed the wine, right and this this is the pouring.

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, we're talking about three hundred people's seats and

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 3>this is four glasses per the flights, four poors by

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 3>the way, just a side note, you don't have to drink.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 2>It's an add on, right, obviously it's at first.

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 3>It's a show, but also this experience, right, Yeah, the

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 3>seating is not a precedium seating, it's not a beer seating.

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 3>It's more about four tops for tabletopund tables.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Our stage were allowed ourselves.

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Creativity of just like let's just build stage out into

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 3>the audience and you know, dancing between the tables and

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 3>have this experience for a moment where it's happening around you.

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>So you know, there was a lot of very interesting

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 2>components of the show that we never got to play

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:37.280
<v Speaker 2>with before.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 3>And again, the response from the local winemakers was amazing.

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 3>We got two different It's been incredible to see that

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 3>we're welcomed here. Kind of nervous for the response, but

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 3>so far soft opening, responsive exactly.

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>How well and wine is so experiential it's you taste it,

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's always been are depending on who you're with,

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing, and it does take you to places.

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's interesting because I'm a big wine guy and

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>you work with a chef, and the chef wants to

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 1>taste the wine and that will take his palate to

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>what he wants to serve you. I'm interested. A. Are

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you guys wine guys? And B do you taste the

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>wine and then choreographed to what you have felt from

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>the wine? Or do you just kind of take the

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>general Hey, it's Spanish, so we're going to do a.

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>No. First of all, I mean, again, I enjoy wine.

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm not as as well versed as you sound like

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you are. I mean you've already used like five words

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:46.359
<v Speaker 2>and I just learned last week. But you know, I

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 2>think that the relate the connection between my part because

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 2>you'll talk, you know, on his own behalf. For me,

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the relationship stems from It's what you said. It's wine

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 2>brings people together and it allows people to you know,

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>it's not just about getting intoxicated. It's about having an experience,

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>an experience where you raise a glass. So for us

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 2>and our family, we always raise the glass, not to

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>get drunk, but to commemorate each other. This is how

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>we you know, we have a moment to connect and

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>reflect and kind of you know, congregate.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Over over, celebrate the moment.

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Celebrate the moment, you know. And so I'm like, wow,

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 2>we built a kind of a Mama Mia inspired essence

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>about the fact that we are coming together, that theater

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>feels like one giant party, and so I'm more from

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 2>that element, really excited about the show. I love that element,

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the fact that I get to be in the audience

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>on stage around you know. But as far as our

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 2>passion for wine, Max will take over.

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I think our passion is for like I

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.679
<v Speaker 3>keep going back to just human interaction and people's service.

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 3>We started with service industry, you know, twelve eighteen. We're

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 3>in the restaurant just presenting this while people are eating,

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 3>they still having dinner.

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 2>There's also a sophistication about it that I think pairs

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 2>well with our essence, believe it or not.

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, hair aside, Hey, I like you use the

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.559
<v Speaker 1>word pairing weller parents.

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>And as far as the creative, you know, I think

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 2>it isn't as simple as we taste the wine and

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>then we choreographed what happened, was Mark Swanheart, the director, Yes,

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>he tasted the wine and he envisioned the story out

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>of it, right, because again, wine tells stories and people

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 2>tell their story overwined. And so there's a few pieces that,

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 2>first of all, are such a riot. There's a few

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 2>pieces that are incredibly heartbreaking and heartwarming. Right, there's going

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.719
<v Speaker 2>to be a lot of laughter, a lot of impression,

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 2>but also a few tiers just because again it's something

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 2>that's timeless and it's something that you share with loved ones,

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 2>and you know loved ones go and you know you

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 2>stay in that bottle of wine will remind you of

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the shared stories. So I think that

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 2>was more of the pattern. It was what can we

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 2>invite the audience to experience to this selection of wine,

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.839
<v Speaker 2>and what kind of stories can we share that our

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 2>universally shared with everyone else.

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Max has never met a shirt that he couldn't take off.

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Will he have a shirt at any point during these shows?

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's a great way to position that that question,

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 2>but no mystery.

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And by the way, talk about real you know,

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>real estate is everything, right, location, location, location, You guys

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>have the greatest location in naw But you're going to

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>be right downtown, right on Main Street and first in

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the middle of it all at above jam Seller, I believe,

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>is a location.

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 2>We are we are in cells.

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you're in jam Seller so just down from the

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Archer Hotel, which is spectacular. It is on the main drag.

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Talking about jam Seller's the tasting room. We're talking about

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 2>jam Seller's ballroom that's above the.

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Lunar right, so the theater itself. Yes, And I just

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 3>want to piggyback that that was the whole point. Hey,

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 3>there's wine show idea. Let's just simplified. And that was

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, this conversation happened four years ago and since

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 3>then it was like, well.

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>This has to be in in a wine producer, I

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 2>mean show. Yeah, it will be like just different, you know,

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.439
<v Speaker 2>a little different what I had to go straight to

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 2>hard liquor show.

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 3>But this was so unique and you know, and it

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 3>took it took a mind of an individual who's a producer,

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, who had the vision Lee Marshall with magic

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 3>space and the way they approached it and it was

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 3>together in lightning speed.

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you.

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Once you get people that get it together at one table.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 2>It goes fast, and so we took.

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 3>A long time trying to get here and in a

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 3>lightning preproduction speed. I am now a resident of Napo,

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 3>so is Valve with his family, and we're so grateful.

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 3>The local community saw on the show a couple of times.

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 3>They can't say enough about it. And this was our goal.

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Pay a marsh to the farmer, paying marsh to the the.

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Process, process that the grape, make sure that they are

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.839
<v Speaker 3>not offended by what we're doing with it.

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>And that was exactly two of the greatest performers. We know,

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys, no doubt, are going to put on an

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>amazing show that people will love. And just selfishly, I

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 1>find it perfect because when you go to NAPA, obviously

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>there's wine tasting and there's great food and yet but

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 1>there's really nothing to do later. There's nothing, as you say,

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>after hours. So what a perfect position to give people

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 1>a little something to do with the end of the day.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, And and I just wanted to mention you know,

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>first of all, the theater used to be the Napbook

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Opera House, so this isn't like the location is grant.

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 2>We built it specifically for the show, so we extended

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.439
<v Speaker 2>the stage. It's I mean, man, it like sometimes throughout

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the night it feels like you're in a mid you know,

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 2>sixteenth century Parisian like tavern. It's like, wow, it's awesome.

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 2>And to kind of as far as the entertainment of it,

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>it's not just Max and Vaal. We have a host

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 2>that kind of narrates you through this story and through

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>this experience. Incredible actress.

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>How did I not get that gig in Napa? Damn it?

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 2>And we have a cast of just extraordinary dancers and

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 2>performers as well that they are kind of all all

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.679
<v Speaker 2>featured in the show. We have a magician and there

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 2>also up magic and it's not me at.

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.800

<v Speaker 2>you on host on our show.

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 3>I just want to add to what Ball was saying,

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 3>is that theaters you need got to rebuild it. This

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 3>seating on stage, we have a we have a bar

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 3>kind of runway the seating over that as well.

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>So I would like a lap dance.

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I would recommend people, I'm just kidding into the.

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 3>Same afterhours dot com just to see tickets, not into

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 3>like purchase, but to see what it is and understand.

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 2>What we're trying to say. It's a fully immersive opportunity.

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to you guys more too, about family,

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 1>how brothers clearly so at six years apart. Now now

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that both of you are dads. Has your relationship changed?

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>How have you guys seen each other change?

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I think our relationship has constantly been evolving. And uh,

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, as somebody that have shared a life but

0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 2>also then share the dance floor, shared lot of our

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>interests together, that became business partners and continued. You know,

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>we've we've had our ups and downs and ultimately now

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 2>as as fathers, it kind of yes, propelled us to

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>a new level of a friendship and relationship. But yeah,

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say that that was the pivotal moment that

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>changed us. I think now we're just proud of each

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>other even more on on like more of a human

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 2>level rather than like a professional level, like wow, you've

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 2>accomplished this or you've accomplished that. Now we you know,

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I think we're proud of each other.

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well it's not easy. Well, you're married to Jenna

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Max Mary Peter from the show Lauren Ziema and I

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>my fiance. Obviously, you guys know from antainment tonight we

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of you know, work together and fishing off the

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>company pier. Some people say, you know, don't eat where

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you know where you work, but it worked for both

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>of you. Guys, I was.

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 2>About to say, That's what I was trying to say.

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Like, so we've been been here for a week, and uh,

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 3>this is our second week in Napa.

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 2>We got here seven.

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Days ago, and and you know, we went into the

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 3>first day of tech run and we had a very

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 3>gem production. It's very it was heavy schedule and we

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 3>just tied and just weren't exhausted. Hey, you want to

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 3>come over for dinner? Yes, and come over the Okay,

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 3>you want to stay over? Yes, I'll stay over. We're

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 3>fifteen minutes apart, by the way, just where we're staying here.

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.760
<v Speaker 3>And we ended up I ended up staying over his

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 3>house that he and Jenna have here for the summer,

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 3>beautiful place, a bunch of rooms. Ended up sleeping the

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 3>same bad as we always do it. I wouldn't have

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 3>it any other way.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 2>And uh, and that's literally us and it's our relationship.

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>We just went on a trip with my brother. We

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>shared a room. It's like I wanted to be with

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>my brother. It's like it's my boy, it's my best friend.

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it's as far as working with our significant others,

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 2>you know that there's an incredible amount of respect for them.

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 2>As their own artists and entities. And yeah, it's again

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 2>our close proximity is we've also been not challenging for them,

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.919
<v Speaker 2>but it's also something different for them to see. But

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.440
<v Speaker 2>that is all part of now our little world. You know,

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 2>everybody understands that. And there are things that I do

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 2>with Jen that I love and we do together. There

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:42.399
<v Speaker 2>are things that we also do separately together, which is

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:47.199
<v Speaker 2>dancing with the stars. You know that is also you know,

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>we're close by, but we have our own responsibilities and

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.879
<v Speaker 2>our own kind of responsibilities to our partners. There are

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.639
<v Speaker 2>things that Max and Peter do together, and there are

0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 2>things that Max and I do together that our wives

0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 2>love and support, and.

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 3>These these are different, I feel like to me, there

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.399
<v Speaker 3>are different products. The maxim bell is one and the

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Bell and Jen is a beautiful different dance product. And

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, relationship with Peter and maxis have their own

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 3>sort of like line going on.

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 2>But I love that we're.

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Still doing it together and we're kind of finding our niches.

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 3>We're not with floral ident two identical couples. We identical

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.359
<v Speaker 3>in dancing in the world that we're from and where

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.119
<v Speaker 3>we came from. Like you would think, right it's pretty different.

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 2>We were well because there are a lot of similarities,

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>but there's also a lot of really important differences, and

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.159
<v Speaker 2>I think figured out a way to support those differences.

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Would you want your kids to dance? Would you push

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>them in that professional world?

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.200
<v Speaker 2>My kids dancing? Shy?

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 3>You know a year ago you asked me that question,

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 3>and and and you know there's a story how he said,

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 3>you know you're doing a lot of things.

0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, don't you want to do I asked him. He said,

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't like that. I was like, okay, I'll never

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 2>ask you that again. That you know, he stuck with it.

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 2>He dances ballroom.

0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:10.159
<v Speaker 3>So he's got his recital with his bolroom partner that

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 3>he does like twice a week, and it's turned into

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 3>this is what you're doing, and he doesn't mind it

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.879
<v Speaker 3>and actually getting great at it and led me a

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:20.719
<v Speaker 3>couple of times.

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 2>So I was shocked and surprised.

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 3>But he also has passion for hip hop, which is like,

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 3>not one of our things. And he drags Peter to

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.200
<v Speaker 3>West Hollywood with Melbourne, so she has to shlip every

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Saturday for that one class that he just wanted to do.

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.120
<v Speaker 3>He just had to recital, and I was like, we're

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 3>watching his ear two year smile.

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe that.

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, this has been my baby and now it's

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 3>this person and he has his own track line and

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.439
<v Speaker 3>he knows where he's.

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Going with it.

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So cool.

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 3>I want to give it to him to choose, like

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 3>with our parents who are trying to tell us, you know,

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 3>he has his tendence, he's got his soccer, his dance,

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.960
<v Speaker 3>he's got his academics, you know, searching whatever. It is

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.359
<v Speaker 3>my responsibility with Peters just to make sure that he

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 3>has these, you know, things to to achieve and then

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 3>he'll have more choice to pick trom what he wants

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 3>to do.

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I would love to put I would I would love

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 2>to have my kid dance. You know, I don't know

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 2>if I you know, the rest will you know, time

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 2>will tell. But whether he pursues it professionally or not

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 2>is regardless of why I would want him to do dance.

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really good for your mental health, physical health,

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 2>and social health. Is just a really really awesome thing

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>that everybody should put their kids into.

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>You guys will be together for a Father's Day. I

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 1>assume you'll be up there and nap it together.

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, we're here on schedule. We're here for

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 3>the rest of the summer. That's actually a real thing.

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:55.720
<v Speaker 3>The only time I might not be here is in

0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 3>the next seven days.

0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>This is where value you're gonna get, like a weird

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 1>gift from baby Rome that Jenna has put together, like

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a bad like a bad tie or a bath towel

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.439
<v Speaker 1>or something weird. And then but you're gonna hold on

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>to it forever because you'll remember that was like.

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 2>A swe that's say that says father.

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was best dad in the world. But this

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:22.919
<v Speaker 1>is your first. This is your first. So happy Father's

0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Day to you.

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Thanks man, thank you. It's it's a great title. It's

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 2>the best.

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.440
<v Speaker 1>It really is. I want to talk to you guys

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 1>too about Dancing with the Stars, obviously helped by you know,

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the writer's strike and the need to bring stuff back,

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's coming back to ABC. Thoughts on that.

0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Thoughts, Oh, it's awesome. I think there's a lot of

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>folks that we left behind, you know. I'm glad that well,

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I've already heard the response, you know. Ever ever since

0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 2>the announcement was made, Uh, everybody that stops me that right,

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 2>ignizes me from the show. They all mention how happy.

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>They are that it's coming back to But some of

0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:10.199
<v Speaker 1>the big changes. First and foremost, host Julianne Huff is

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be taking on that role. I think her

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and Alfonso Roberto correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love Alfonso

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and I love well, I love Julianne as well. What

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 1>do you guys think of the hosting duo.

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I think they're going to be great. I mean they

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:28.400
<v Speaker 2>both have rapport with all the dancers, right, I think

0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 2>that's really important because well, they have report with the dance,

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.640
<v Speaker 2>they have rapport with the space. You know, as soon

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.920
<v Speaker 2>as you walk into a space you're familiar with, as

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 2>soon as you are surrounded by people you're familiar with.

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:44.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it just changes the energy in which you

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:47.119
<v Speaker 2>conduct yourself, in the way you conduct those interviews. And

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 2>so I think Alfonso is going to be an incredible host.

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I think julian How Huff will be a great companion,

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and I think that it's great for the show.

0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, huge shoes to fill. On a sad note, Len Goodman,

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the brilliant judge. I know you guys love and respect it.

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Everybody did passed away. This will be the first season

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 1>without Land. Who could fill that role and can you

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 1>fill that role moving forward?

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean a big.

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Loss obviously, but Len was kind of like on his

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 3>way out just yeah, fashion well I believe that he

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.440
<v Speaker 3>did step away for season or two then came back

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 3>to the inaugural season.

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:33.879
<v Speaker 2>It was awesome to have him back. To be honest

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.160
<v Speaker 2>with you, he came you know, when he came back,

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.120
<v Speaker 2>it felt like, Okay, that's what was missing type of thing.

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but the show is also going through some changes,

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 3>and from a side view, it felt like it was

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 3>going up and down. Now the show is back. You know,

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:52.400
<v Speaker 3>it's incredible that it's sustained itself. I love that it's

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 3>back when you see personally, I love that it's a

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 3>fun kind of deal.

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Well because he would still watch it on uh yeah,

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:02.920
<v Speaker 2>because it's like just it's just more, you know, it's

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:06.160
<v Speaker 2>not like or it's just an end, and that's always better.

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:09.439
<v Speaker 3>And it also I feel like in terms of Land,

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:13.159
<v Speaker 3>some things that just not necessarily need to be replaced,

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 3>maybe there's something that can come that's different, you know,

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 3>maybe something that could change in the dynamic of the

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 3>judging panel.

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:25.560
<v Speaker 2>And you know, people can grab onto this and say, oh,

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:28.159
<v Speaker 2>who do you want fire? This isn't what I'm saying, brilliant.

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Everything changes, everything.

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Goes through ebbs and flows, and so I feel like

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:38.800
<v Speaker 3>with the permanent see in Land missing right from here

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 3>on out, I feel like there won't be a question

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 3>of when is he going to come back? Or will

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 3>replace him with someone like that? Now it's sort of

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.640
<v Speaker 3>like an open discussion of who can be the next

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, to fill that role.

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Could we see a Chimmerkowski in the judges scene?

0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I will I would love to fill that role. Can

0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 2>just say that finally, and you know that way.

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 3>I will probably not going to be on the show

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 3>as dance as a pro, but if there's an opportunity

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:08.280
<v Speaker 3>for me to step into the role of a judge

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:12.120
<v Speaker 3>and adjudicator, absolutely absolutely, because I would love to bring.

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Value to that position as well in a in a

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 2>way that I feel like.

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 3>He wanted, and continue with the bringing the brand and

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 3>continue helping the brand, because you know, we're all part

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 3>of that came from there where I'm sitting here because

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.440
<v Speaker 3>of that show, and so I love seeing it be

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 3>back in the familiar kind.

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Of yeah, now what about you?

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, in what sense what I want to judge the show.

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, could you see yourself ever sitting in that seat?

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Of course, of course I love you know, I love dance.

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:50.639
<v Speaker 2>I love dance. I teach dance, I perform dance. I

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 2>grew up with dance. I preached the gospel of dance.

0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, look, you guys are such characters. Not

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a bad idea to put you both on the panel

0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and let you go at each other a little bit.

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 4>That that'd be a good dyeamic it would be awesome,

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:06.920
<v Speaker 4>or the answer with the stars should invest in a spinoff?

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 4>There you go, and we don't have to have to

0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 4>replace anybody, you know, we don't have to change ourselves

0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 4>to kind of fill a certain role. And at the

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:15.879
<v Speaker 4>same time, to see this.

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Ridiculous, well what I like, I do like with and

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 1>appreciate what you said, Max, and I believe that for

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>all legends, it's that no one's going to fill that

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>void necessarily. You can't try to be land. You're just

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 1>going to go in and do what you do and

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you'll you'll put your own thumbprint on it and your

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 1>own spin on it, and that's an important way to

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>approach it. Whoever takes that role.

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Right cool. I also think that it'll be fun to

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 2>have somebody maybe completely outside of this world to come

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 2>in and be a judge, you know, essentially from a different.

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Genre of things, you mean, like Tom Brady, Like what

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about?

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Not of tom Brady, but but again, if we want

0:26:57.200 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 2>to expand this this style of two more markets, you know,

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 2>potentially boys that is from a different genre of either

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 2>movement or.

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I see what you're saying.

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in entertainment again, and we've had guest judges and

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 2>they don't always they don't always fly.

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:17.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy. It's not easy.

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's not again, I don't know what the answer is. Yeah,

0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 2>but I'm excited for the show because as much as

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm celebrating it coming back to ABC, I do have

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:32.200
<v Speaker 2>to give credit to Disney and that move because even

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 2>though World One Family, it did feel like us moving

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 2>to Disney. Plus, I saw billboards, I saw an excitement,

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I saw a change and energy that really I think

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 2>revived the show.

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would be remiss if we didn't talk a

0:27:56.400 --> 0:28:00.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit before you guys go. You are Ukrainian out

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainians obviously the war Lingers on what is your emotional

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>state on this what do you guys hear from back home.

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Are you still connected with It's it's.

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:16.440
<v Speaker 2>It's it's emotional, you know.

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Speaking for me, I'm I mean we have different ties, opportunity,

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, conversations, connections, but overall we're kind of like

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 3>in the same place. But it's emotional, you know. I'm

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm able to disconnect, to be honest, or do I

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 3>want to, But it feels like it's the length of

0:28:33.080 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 3>this tragedy. It's just it takes more and more, you know,

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 3>more and more out of out of you, I feel.

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, the current news is that the blowing up of

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the dam in Zaparisia.

0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you know, we we now are just, in

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 5>my opinion, just globally waiting for a disaster that is

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:01.840
<v Speaker 5>so big that it is starts to affect the outside

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 5>of your brain.

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 2>And I think that that's when it's going to start

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 2>to kind of like, okay, so maybe it's just step in.

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 3>But what's happening internally, it's so devastating and it's just

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 3>so hard to watch, and it's such a soap opera,

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 3>just like we're all in that sort of fish saying.

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I felt I spoke hoping somebody a couple of days ago,

0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and I feel.

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Like we're all in the zoom, just kind of like

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 3>watching the animals go at it, and I'm like, this

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 3>is just so heartbreaking, and you know, I wish for

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 3>the world to oversee some rules and regulations globally and

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:37.000
<v Speaker 3>try to, you know, end it. And it has to

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 3>be ended by giving back to your brain.

0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 2>It's theory.

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, Max, you were there and you documented some things

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 1>before you got out, and you did such a brilliant

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 1>job of that. Are there two kind of sides to you?

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>That part of you probably wishes you were still there

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 1>so you could be kind of involved and connected somehow.

0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.440
<v Speaker 1>But then part of you is probably like, I'm glad

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 1>my family is safe and we're out, and there may

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 1>be may even be a little guilt involved with that.

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's a beat up phrase at this point,

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>with the survivor's guilt.

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:12.920
<v Speaker 3>But you know, it's it's been a year and a

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 3>half later, and you know I've spoken to enough people

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 3>and understood enough about this, and I was also helped

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 3>along the way, supported and you know, motivated and also

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 3>educated in a lot of ways.

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I'm a different meet today. I know

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:33.480
<v Speaker 2>who I am I know who I'm not. I know

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:34.960
<v Speaker 2>who I'm not and what I'm not a part of,

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 2>but I'm.

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.960
<v Speaker 3>A global citizen and my connection to your brain is

0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 3>just is not a choice at the point at this point,

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 3>it's it's something that the.

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Strategy tragedy also kind of.

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:54.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, allowed me to reconnect with that that part

0:30:54.360 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 3>of Ukraine you need, you know, and so I feel

0:30:57.640 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 3>very proud to be a part of this in that

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 3>sort of way.

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I hate that I that this has ever happened.

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I was documenting anything out of key

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:09.080
<v Speaker 3>if I was just honestly it was a cry for

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 3>not cry for help, but it was like.

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Am I the only one seeing this? Like how common

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:14.240
<v Speaker 2>of its really running?

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 3>But today, like I said, it's up to powers to

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 3>be Our job is to you know, help support the person,

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, the training person that's not it's not in

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 3>their choice and they're the ones suffering. So we continue

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 3>in humanitarian efforts. Burn Over twenty seven with our Dad

0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 3>is still operational and we're working on some big events

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 3>to help you know, fundraise at the time when people

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 3>already stopped doing that.

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:45.680
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I know we're still in it, and we'll

0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 2>be here for the long hold.

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm gonna give you a chance before we say goodbye,

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Might take even even with our charity and fundraising and

0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 2>things like that, you know, the subject matter became politicized,

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 2>just like everything else in this country. And I just

0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 2>want to emphasize that besides, you know, right and wrong,

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, just on some like human level. You know,

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 2>because when we started fundraising, our warehouse was in New Jersey,

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Nor Jersey, and we in two days we had a

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 2>close to a thousand people show up to help organize

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the humanitarian aid that was pouring in. And they weren't

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 2>thousand Ukrainians that woked in. It was you know, ninety

0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:32.320
<v Speaker 2>five percent every walk of life, you know, just just

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 2>local tri state area of folks that came in. And

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 2>it reminded me of the days after nine to eleven

0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 2>where people again, people rally like this is the most

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 2>American thing to do is to support another dog. So

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 2>for me, Ukraine is you know, at the moment, it

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 2>is synonymous with the American spirit. It's defending its land

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 2>against somebody that is trying to take it from them,

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:58.000
<v Speaker 2>is doing it righteously, you know, and courageously and I

0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 2>think it spoke to a lot of Americans until again

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 2>that the subject matter became hijacked by political you know whatever.

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 2>But I haven't lost sight of that. For me, it's

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>a matter of being there for somebody in need. And

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I think the country of Ukraine is that somebody.

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:19.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not lose sight of the people. Yeah, absolutely, speaking

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:22.720
<v Speaker 1>of two good people, Max and Vale. Right here, I'm

0:33:22.760 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 1>telling you talk about the American uh you know story

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>right here.

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:27.120
