1
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to Danielle with the Stars. I am Danielle Fischel,

2
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: a TV director, a podcaster forever to Panga, and a

3
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: mom of two. Currently, though I am learning how to

4
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: ballroom dance one step at a time. You will see

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: me on season thirty four of Dancing with the Stars,

6
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: premiering September sixteenth on ABC and Disney Plus, and throughout

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: the process, I am recording this podcast chronicling my journey,

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: giving you the inside story of one celebrities quest for

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: a Mirror Ball Trophy. I am in the mix as

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: we speak, practicing every day for the debut episode, a

11
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: night that will mark the first time I have danced

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: in front of an audience since I recited a poem

13
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: for Corey and applied lipstick across my face on Boy

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Meets at only twelve years old. Not kidding, but I

15
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: figure the best way to prep for the moment is

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: to talk to those who have competed before me, and

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: today I have the privilege of talking to another superhero

18
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: from the extended Podmeets World universe, a fellow tgiflum who

19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: already competed on Dancing with the Stars and lived to

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: talk about it. She appeared on season twenty two of

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the show back in twenty sixteen and was partnered with

22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: dancer Kyo Mutzepi, finishing in sixth place and suffering one

23
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: of the more dramatic injuries in Dancing with the Star's history.

24
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: But don't get it twisted like her ankle. Even though

25
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: week eight was her last, she went out with two

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: basically perfect scores, a thirty on her jive and a

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: twenty nine for her tango team up. She's the real

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: deal and I know I need her help. Today on

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Danielle with the Stars, I am paired with Stephanie Tanner,

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,880

Speaker 1: our Kushling's commercial have I felt this nervous about what

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing.

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: So my god, Well, look, if you can handle Kushlings,

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: you can handle dancing with the stars, you know what

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: I mean.

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: They're very transferable skills.

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: Oh, very friends, that makes me feel a lot better.

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: I I just wanted to know. Did I make a

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: bad decision here agreeing to do the show? I don't know.

57
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know.

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: Did you you like to dance and also be terrified

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: on live TV in front of a large room full

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: of screaming people?

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: So were you terrified even though you're a great dancer? Absolutely?

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, oh terrified.

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Yes.

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 3: I will tell you this. I will tell you this.

65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 2: You will learn to hate those three clicks, oh gosh,

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: because you'll hear them and that's when your music starts,

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: and when you're in the ballroom half the time you

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: can't hear it. Because people they want everybody to scream.

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: So those the first.

70
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: Like ten seconds when you're there and you're like, I

71
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: just want to hear the music.

72
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: Because if you know, if you don't hear that, you're like,

73
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: you're going to be off. Yeah once if you start

74
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: off on a bad foot, how do you ever catch up? Right?

75
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Right right right?

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: But no, I and I don't mean to scare you

77
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: because it was so much fun. It was such incredibly

78
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: hard work, but I loved it.

79
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: And I I did it.

80
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: I mean I used to go watch ballroom dance competitions

81
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: when I was like in my late teens.

82
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: I'm a nerd and I love dance.

83
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: That was your fun time.

84
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: I mean not like.

85
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: Every weekend, but I definitely went to a few because

86
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: I loved ballroom dance and it was a type of

87
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: dance that I never did, and it was partnering, but

88
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: I just loved watching it. So when I got the

89
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: chance to do it, it was amazing.

90
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: How did you get the chance to do it? Did

91
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: they approach you? What was the situation with how you

92
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: joined the season? Uh?

93
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: They approached me. It had been something I was like, oh,

94
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: this would be fun, and we had talked about it

95
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: a little bit.

96
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: I think.

97
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Maybe second season.

98
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember what because we were shooting Fuller.

99
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: We started shooting Fuller in twenty fifteen, and I want

100
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: to say it was twenty.

101
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: Sixteen, like season two.

102
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: I think that I did Dancing with the Stars and

103
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: they came to me. Max and Val had done an

104
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: episode on Fuller.

105
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: House oh famous a famous dancer brother doing.

106
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: The Answer Brothers, the Schmikowsky's, and Candace had been VAL's

107
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: partner when she did Dancing with Stars, and so they

108
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: had done an episode and it was super fun and

109
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: you know, and so then it was just kind of

110
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: like I think that was maybe the seed planted amongst

111
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: them a little bit, but it definitely once I went

112
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: back to Fuller that that was kind of when it happened.

113
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: And then I got eliminated the night before I went

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: back to start working on season three, Season two season anyway,

115
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I would have been doing both shows and

116
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I could do it. And then

117
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: once I started back doing Fuller, I was like, I

118
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: am so glad I'm doing too.

119
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: How would it have been possible?

120
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

121
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: It was one of those things where like I do,

122
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: I say yes and then figure it and then panic later.

123
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

124
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: So it's how I try to.

125
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: Rule my life is just sure and then go, oh

126
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: my god, what have you done?

127
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: What have you done? Help me figure this out? Someone

128
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: helped me.

129
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

130
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but no, I was glad that because that

131
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: would have been a lot, because it's as you do. Oh,

132
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: I mean you're in just the first week, but it's

133
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: a lot anyway, Yeah, it's a lot.

134
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: And I think maybe the rules have changed. I don't

135
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: know about when.

136
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, what are the rules now post COVID post.

137
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 2: It's been a long time. It's been almost ten years

138
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: since I.

139
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Well, they they're limiting it, limiting us currently to only

140
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: four hours a day, five days a week.

141
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: That was, we have a limit, okay, have a limit

142
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: four hours a day, five days a week. But I

143
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: that was I went full out from.

144
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: Day one, got it. That's what I figured. I figured

145
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: you were. Yeah. I want to talk a little bit

146
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: about your dance history, because I know you had never

147
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: done ballroom before, but if people remember full House or

148
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: have just kept track of your history and memes, they

149
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: would know that if.

150
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: You've seen a me, I mean you've seen me dancing.

151
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, when did you start dancing? As a kid.

152
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: Uh, dance was the first thing I ever did. I

153
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: started dancing when I was about three. I started in

154
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: like ballet and tap and you know, just having fun.

155
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: But I loved it. I always loved performing. And really

156
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: my first day dance recital was where my mom kind

157
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: of saw that, like not saw that I was like

158
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: enjoyed performing, but saw that I had zero problem being

159
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: on a stage and moving other people out of the

160
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: way so I could excuse me, you get Oh.

161
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: No.

162
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,200

166
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,000

00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: dressed like a small duck. Oh my tap dancing number

177
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. So, as you mentioned, it's a difference

178
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: than doing a partner dance. Absolutely. Do you think having

179
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: a background and dance helped you or hurt you?

180
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: Of course, no, having a background and dance definitely helps.

181
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 2: I mean it gives you the baseline for everything, okay,

182
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: for turns, for holds, for a posture.

183
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: All of that kind of stuff. Great, I have zero I'm.

184
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: Hand placement all of that.

185
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: It just makes it a little easier if your hands

186
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: don't look like this, you know you're used to kind

187
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: of blowing them or whatever.

188
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: What was I saying? It? Did dance help you work?

189
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Thank you?

190
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: There we go, So it helps me.

191
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 2: I'm not doing Dancing with the Stars now because I

192
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: forget my own name. You No, it definitely helped. It

193
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: definitely helped, and because I loved it, I wanted to

194
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: do it every day. I mean I want I was like,

195
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: I want to dance four hours a day every day

196
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: and push myself right.

197
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: And so how quickly did you adjust to being with

198
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: a partner.

199
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: Well, you learn very quickly that your job is sort

200
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 2: of just to.

201
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: Follow okay, which is hard. Yeah, and I think.

202
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: You're probably much like I am, and you're like no, no, no, no,

203
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: I'm I can't charge. Yeah, I gotta know what I'm doing.

204
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: And so that was like the hardest thing was really holds.

205
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: You think you're just in a hold and dancing, but

206
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: like no, no, no, your back and your arms and you're like,

207
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: it's And I remember when I.

208
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: We had a switch up week.

209
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: I was with Keo and we had val and he

210
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: would make me wear weights on my hands so that

211
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: then when you took the weights off, it was that

212
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: much easier to hold your hand, you know what I mean.

213
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: So you got used to having that.

214
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: Sort of weight.

215
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it was a lot, but it definitely having

216
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: a back a dance background was kind of key.

217
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: I think it helped kind of push.

218
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: Me along a little further.

219
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 2: And Okay, I definitely think it helped who I think

220
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: who won our season was Gingersy, and I think she

221
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: had some dance background as well.

222
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: So it can help, Okay, it can help for sure. Okay, great,

223
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: well I don't have that so but let me tell.

224
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: You there's also been like amazing ice skaters, ice dancers

225
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: and other dancers that just don't make it the show.

226
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: You never do we know of any klutzy middle aged

227
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: women who've won, oh, who've won? Because that's what that's

228
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: what I'm going for. I'm a real, real klutzy middle

229
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: aged woman. I'm gonna just try to learn some grace.

230
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: I feel like, learn, learn some grace, be patient with yourself. Okay,

231
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: somewhere around week three or four, you'll probably have a meltdown. Yeah, yeah,

232
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: that's kind of what it happens. It's I found that like,

233
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 2: by the like week four, I had been practicing.

234
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: Every day, we had had a couple of show, Like,

235
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: I was just.

236
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: Burnt, and it was like my brain stopped being able

237
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: to kind of absorb information for like two days.

238
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I yeah, it was did.

239
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: You slow down during those days? Did you? Then?

240
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: No? No, no, no, But I did throw a fit.

241
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: I did in the middle of my rehearsal. I wasn't

242
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: getting something. I don't remember what it was, but it

243
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: was like one of those stupid things were for whatever

244
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: reason in my brain, I was like turning right.

245
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: And it was supposed to be left, and I just

246
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: couldn't get it.

247
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: And I was just frustrated, and so I tried to

248
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: make a really dramatic exit to the bathroom, okay, and

249
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: the door handle wouldn't work, and so I was just

250
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: spinning the door handle on camera because you know, they

251
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: precred everything while trying to and I actually it made

252
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: me laugh at myself because I was like, Okay, yeah,

253
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: I mean, what are you gonna settle down?

254
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,480

00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,239
Speaker 2: and like cry in the bathroom, and then I was like, okay.

Speaker 1: That's you know, samba.

Speaker 3: You're always in a like sort of swingy little thing

275
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: because it makes your hips look really great.

276
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: But you will you will have people changing you and

Speaker 1: A room full of crowded people, and you will.

279
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: The thing about dance, live theater and live television is

280

Speaker 2: gotta get this done, like you gotta go.

287
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: You know. I remember thinking before I had children, someone

288
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: saying like I don't remember what I had said, but

289
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: saying something like and then so then you just have

290
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: all those people in the room. And my mom said, oh, yeah, Dangelle,

291
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: you're not thinking about it when you're getting burn And

292
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I bet I'm gonna think about it.

293
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: And then guess what I guess you're not about it.

294
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: It's amazing how things certain things take.

295
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: Over and you're like, I don't care, don't get it

296
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: all of it. Yeah, but yeah, I mean that. I

297
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: will say it's really fun. The costumes are really fun.

298
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 2: But I will warn you you do not dance in

299
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: your costume right until dress rehearsal.

300
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: Okay, which is the day before the show. No, I

301
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: mean the day of the show. Oh you don't you

302
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: for camera blocking, you're not in your wardrobe.

303
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Uh no, wow, camera block and you're not in your wardrobe.

304
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: You wear your wardrobe day of the show. At least

305
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: we did our season day of the show for your

306
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: dress rehearsal that day.

307
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And let me tell you.

308
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: It throws things off sometimes because when we did our samba,

309
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: I was used to.

310
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: Turning with zero weight on me.

311
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

312
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: I put a beaded dress on that weighed probably twelve pounds.

313
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

314
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: And all of the beating is at the hips.

315
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: So when you're turning now, Kio was like, you got

316
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: to turn harder, Like you can't, it's not reading. And

317
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm like I'm trying, you know, like swowing my hips

318
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: around and yeah, like that's Another thing that you don't

319
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: think of is all of a sudden, once you have

320
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: that on things that you may have been.

321
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Doing in gym clothes.

322
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: Yes, all of a sudden you It just makes it

323
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: a little bit different.

324
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: So wow, okay, that's really good to think about, Like, yeah,

325
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: what am I gonna be wearing? How quickly am I?

326
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: How am I gonna need? Does swing these hips? Yeah?

327
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

328
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: How important does picking songs end up being? It's pretty important.

329
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: But they have a lot to say, so, like, okay,

330
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: they have most of the say is like it'll usually

331
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: be like, oh, here's whatever, the few songs, the five

332
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: songs that we like for this particular dance style or whatever,

333
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: and then they'll kind of choose one and sometimes they'll

334
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: be like, those are great, we didn't pick any of those.

335
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: So here's what you're gonna do.

336
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: You know.

337
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: It's yeah for week one? For you, who did you

338
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: invite into the audience to watch? Uh? Week one? I

339
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: believe it was my parents and my kids. Oh I think, yeah, I.

340
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: Think I'm trying to think of people I invited kind

341
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: of over time. I know Lori Lachlan came, Candice came,

342
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: I believe Andrea came.

343
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: And then just like you know, other friends and stuff.

344
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it was my parents and my

345
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: kids and the audience theft for that first one that

346
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: is so cute.

347
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: Uh. Did you have immediate chemistry with Kio or was

348
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: it something that grew over time? Did it click right away?

349
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: What was your relationship like with him?

350
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: It clicked right away. We got along so well and

351
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: we had so much fun.

352
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: And I.

353
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: Was actually really grateful for him as a teacher because

354
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: he was patient but pushed me, if that makes sense,

355
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: like he it wasn't. I mean, look, Max and Val

356
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: are amazing dancers, but the Ukrainian methods of teaching things

357
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: are strict. Again waits you know you're dancing with a

358
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: broom handle.

359
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: And you're it's right, it's uh, it's strict.

360
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: It's a lot and uh and and Q I think

361
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: was able to push me in ways, but also knew

362
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: when I was like again, having a frustrated moment, and

363
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: he'd be like, okay, let's you know.

364
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: What, let's say and we would just be stupid and laugh.

365
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: And we had all kinds of little inside jokes and

366
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: you know, code words and stuff, and you know, when

367
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: you're dancing out there, doing the show. You're talking to

368
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: each other the whole time. Yeah, and you know you

369
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 2: are just like in it and yeah, you really.

370
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you definitely get to know and trust the

371
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: people that you're out there dancing with.

372
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: And I'd say for women on the show, it's a

373
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: little bit different because the guys, the male contestants are

374
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: kind of they have to lead and they don't know how,

375
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, So like it's sort of

376
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: a I think in some ways, being a woman on

377
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: the show is a little bit easier in that you

378
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 2: can kind of fall into the trust of going with

379
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: your partner a little bit easier, which is kind of

380
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: one of the keys of ballroom.

381
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting you say that because in all the

382
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: seasons I've watched, I've always thought, man, the women have

383
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: it so much harder. It feels like they have to

384
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: do so many more, like they do somebody or spins

385
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: and and and I noticed, no matter what my I

386
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: is watching the woman, I'm just watching, well, I'm just

387
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: watching her dance.

388
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: That's why we get the fancy costumes and the thing.

389
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: And it is true, you're as women, you you are

390
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: expected to do more because the male dancer of in

391
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: partners just kind of leading and sort of the position

392
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: there while somebody else. So it is in that regard,

393
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: like their partner can do a lot of showy things

394
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 2: and you're like, I'm not even looking at him.

395
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: You guys agree that dance was amazing, amazing you were there.

396
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, it's but also like knowing that you

397
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: can kind of relax and you don't have to be

398
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: the yeah, the one to remember every single next step right,

399
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 2: they'll put you in right, although I did when we

400
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: did our season, I did have to dance with another contestant.

401
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: I danced with Nile de Marco, Yes, which was interesting

402
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: because he's deaf.

403
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you did have quite a season of fellow competitors,

404
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: Heraldo Rivera, Marla Maples, Antonio Brown, Misha Barton. Did you

405
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: did you do any fraternizing with the other kid? Not

406
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: with those four?

407
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: Okay, An, I mean I feel like the first two

408
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: were fairly obvious. Yeah, uh no, I mean they were lovely.

409
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: Everyone was nice.

410
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: No, I would say that people I probably got closest to.

411
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: Janye Morris was on my season from Boys to Men, Yeah,

412
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: and I spent a lot of time together.

413
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: Who else? Who else?

414
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: Paige Van's aunt. Paige and I spent a lot of

415
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: time together. Ginger z she was a doll. We kind

00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,159

417
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: Rehearsal schedules.

418
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Antonio was like never there. I felt so

419
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: bad for Sharna, Like really it was kind of it

420
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: was Antonio was Antonio all over the place and uh yeah.

421
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: He would just leave, like the.

422
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: Car would be there to pick him up and be

423
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: like three hours later. John was like, guess we're not

Speaker 2: So yeah, it was all super supportive and you know,

434
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: but it was I think the people that go the

435
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: first few weeks, Yeah, it's you don't. You just don't

436
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: get as close to them because by the week one

437
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: and two they're not They're gone.

438
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: Right. So your first dance was to Confidence by Demi Levado.

439
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: What do you remember from that first night? What were

440
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: your nerves like?

441
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was terrified, Okay, terrified.

442
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: I actually have a picture.

443
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: Oh I did where did it go?

444
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: Someone stole your photo.

445
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: Someone stole my photo. No, I have a photo of

446
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: it somewhere, a picture from that first dance. Oh, it's terrifying.

447
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: And you and and and then you think you did great,

448
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: and then you get the judges, you know what I mean,

449
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: and you're.

450
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: Like, oh, what was you? Do you remember your first score?

451
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: I remember I don't remember my first score.

452
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: I think it was pretty good.

453
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 2: It was like sevens, Okay, that's great, sevens six is

454
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: sevens maybe, But I do remember Carrie Anne uh said something.

455
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: She was like, your face the whole time you were dancing.

456
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: I just didn't like you were face so that I.

457
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: Was like, cool things. Yeah, yeah.

458
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 3: She was like, I just didn't like what was happening

459
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 3: on your face. And I was like, it's called concentration.

460
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what that is. Actually, it's funny that

461
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: you say that, because now it's been one of the

462
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: things that's been the hardest for me trying to learn.

463
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: You think that doing what we do, our personalities would

464
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: come through while we're dancing, But I'm so focused on

465
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: remembering the steps and the form and everything else that

466
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: my face is very different.

467
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, or I just kind of like I

468
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: get like an intense when I'm like doing something and

469
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: so I'm like and and it was like I looked

470
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: kind of angry.

471
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Right, but I was just focused, just focused, I know.

472
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: No, But but yeah, you'll get notes on stuff where

473
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 3: you're like really and.

474
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: Then sometimes you'll be like, okay, now I see that,

475
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: I see that. Yeah, but yeah, it's uh, it's nerve racking.

476
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 2: And like I said, those when you get out there

477
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: and the room start screaming and you hear the announcement

478
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: of like it's Jody and Keo dancing that, and you're.

479
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: Like, okay, hold on, I don't know anything. I don't

480
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: know anything.

481
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: And then like you just hear the three clicks and

482
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: you're like it's time. It's like a roller coaster, like

483
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: you get you're just going, going up to the top,

484
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: and then the music starts and you're just kind of

485
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: going and you go and you're just following along and

486
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: you're like.

00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: What am I gonna do?

490
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like any live show. The terrifying part of

491
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: stepping off the l edge.

492
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is actually really cool. Yeah, absolutely, and exactly

493
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: once you get through that part or in your pants,

494
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: which is always my like go to feeling like I'm I'm.

495
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: Gonna be sud I'm gonna tell you in those outfits.

496
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, great. Okay, So I won't be staying hydrated

497
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: on the show, is what you're saying.

498
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: Oh no, you will be hydrated, but you'll be sweating

499
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: so much that you you could drink just a giant

500
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: arrowhead gallons.

501
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Of water and it would sweat right out. Okay, when

502
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: you get a not so great score or a score

503
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: you're not happy about, how do you maintain a smile

504
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: because I'm worried they're going to give me a score

505
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna think I did much better than that,

506
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna want to be like, hey, you

507
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: let me tell you something right, Well, that happens the

508
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: look that does happen.

509
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: I seem to remember somebody on our season being like

510
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: kind of being like, well, act that you know you

511
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: you because sometimes they'll pick at something that you're like.

512
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: Well that wasn't I mean, I you know, okay, but

513
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: like I couldn't fix that, you.

514
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: Know, whatever it is.

515
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: I can't fix my face that's just the face I got,

516
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 2: Like whatever it is that you're like kind of frustrated by, right,

517
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's an exercise in.

518
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: In uh grace.

519
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: To have someone tell you something that you did wrong

520
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 2: live on television and just go, yes, that's you're right.

521
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: Yes I saw that too, thank you. Thanks.

522
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: And then you're walking off stage with your partner and

523
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: you're like, yeah, I can't believe I missed stupid term.

524
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah all right.

525
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: So then in week three and four you ended up

526
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: being the last celebrity to be called safe.

527
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: What is tormenting me?

528
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: Does that feel like awful?

529
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

530
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: The world awful. It feels awful because.

531
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: Because you know, like there's some people you're like, okay,

532
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 2: they're like and not to sound, but there are there's

533
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: people were like, okay, I know they're probably like that

534
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: the dance was maybe wasn't greater, you know, Yeah, but

535
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: then there's some times you're like, I M M, no idea,

536
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 2: I am not in the bottom, right, I know, I'm

537
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 2: not in the bottom, you know, like rights, it's just

538
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 2: a it's a mind game, you know what I mean,

539
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: It's just sort of a mind game sometimes too.

540
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: They got some.

541
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: Several people have to be in the bottom and somebody's

542
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: got to go home.

543
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: So they have to scare people occasionally.

544
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: But it's awful because you feel like you've worked so

545
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: hard and you've done so much, and you're like, oh, well,

546
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: I guess I guess that's the guess that sucked.

547
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: You know, well, I you had a trajectory that I

548
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: hope to emulate in the sense that your first week

549
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: was your lowest score, but by the time you then

550
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: got to week five, it all had just seemed to

551
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: click and you never scored under a twenty five again. Yeah,

552
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: what what do you think happened in those first five

553
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: weeks that really just catapulted you?

554
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: Well, after that first week, I replaced my face.

555
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: Okay, you put a smile on? I did, Yeah, I

556
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: put it.

557
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 3: I just put the smile on.

558
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: I think one nerves.

559
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: But I also think that that first week, everybody kind

560
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 2: of scores, you know what I mean, Like they got

561
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: to give you somewhere to go totally, and that first

562
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: week isn't great usually, you know what I mean. There's

563
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: it's you're getting used to it, it's your first live show.

564
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: By the time you're in a few weeks, you're kind

565
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: of like Okay, I know the routine, I know what happens.

566
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: This seems a little more like a normal schedule that

567
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: I have that I can be accustomed to. But like

568
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: that first week just feels like you're kind of all

569
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: over the place, right, Okay.

570
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: So it's then week six and you get injured and

571
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: rushed to the hospital. Oh what happened? Here? Walk us

572
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: through the whole injury. Uh.

573
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: This was before I had my big injury where I

574
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: snapped my ankle on my left side and cash a

575
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 2: bunch of pins and a plate and all that kind

576
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: of stuff.

577
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: Still, Oh my gosh.

578
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: This was prior to that, Okay, which probably made dancing

579
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: a lot easier.

580
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: Uh, but I definitely like, so we were doing there's

581
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: things that you do and you're like, I don't know,

582
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: this feels kind of hard. We were it was the

583
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 2: week we were recreating iconic dances, and we were doing

584
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 2: Pink's video for Try Okay, which I don't know if

585
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: you've ever seen the video, It's like she's being thrown

586
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: on the mattress and dragged, you know, and all this

587
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. It's very like intense and physical and

588
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: very physical because Pink.

589
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly goodness, an absolute athlete. Oh my god. So

590
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: they're like, you're going to recreate that.

591
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh okay.

592
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: And there was one move that they did where basically

593
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: it was a counterbalance of myself and Kio. Right, so

594
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: we're leaning away from each other, but I am supporting

595
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: our weight. My legs are the ones on the ground

596
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 2: and hit and I forget how we were intertwined, but

597
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: basically I have to keep my hips and my core

598
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: up or the whole thing collapses down. We had tried

599
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: it a couple times before cameras got there.

600
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: We had tried it.

601
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: We had tried it, and it was like, I was like,

602
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: I it's a lot, it's you know, like, yeah, he's

603
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: a big dude.

604
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: And it was just the like the the balance of it.

605
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: If you if you weren't exactly right, and if I

606
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: didn't hold that strength, like if everything came crashing down.

607
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: And that's basically what happened was the original choreographers came

608
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: to help us with the you know, with our our

609
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: dance and perfecting stuff and whatever, and they were like, Okay,

610
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: we want to see you try this, you know, this move.

611
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: Of course they wanted it on camera, and I was like,

612
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: this one was hard. Okay, let's do it.

613
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I guess, and we did it.

614
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: And then I was tired and so my core just

615
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: kind of collapsed and my ankle rolled and Keio with

616
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: his tailbone, came down right on top of my ankle

617
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: bone and just shammed it into.

618
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: The wood floor, wood floor. I was like, up there,

619
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: we go there.

620
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: It was so painful. It was the side of my foot,

621
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: like the bones on the side of my foot on

622
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: the outer edge, uh huh, those little metatarsals and the

623
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: ankle bone. And I was cra I mean, I was like,

624
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: oh my god, I it was really really painful, and

625
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: I was like trying to.

626
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: Put weight on it and it just hurt. And I

627
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: was like oh.

628
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: And I was so upset because I was like no, no, no,

629
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: this can't be like, this is not this is not

630
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: the way I go home like sobbing, crying. They called

631
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: ambulance because of course, you know, ship you over there

632
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: and drama, So they shift the ambulance. Keo gets in

Speaker 2: the ambulance with me. I remember, he's sitting there holding

634
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: my purse and we're like on our way to the

635
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,160

638
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, no, it's just my ankle.

639
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: It's okay.

640
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: Then my gosh.

641
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: We're in the er.

642
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: Keo's there with me, and we're there and they do

643
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: all these X rays and everything, and they find out

644
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: it was a like a severe bone bruise. So I like, okay,

645
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: it bruised the bones on the outside of my foot

646
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: and the soft tissue, so it was really really tender

647
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: to the touch, but nothing was broken. I didn't feel

648
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: great to dance on, but it wasn't I wasn't going to,

649
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: you know, further aggravate anything. But while we were sitting

650
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: there waiting for the doctor. I will never forget, that's

651
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: when the news the Prince died came in and I

652
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: was sitting in Cedar Sinai and then I started crying

653
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: all over.

654
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 3: Again because I love Prince. But I will never forget.

655
00:30:59,040 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yeah, yeah.

656
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: That was when I was doing Dancing with the Stars

657
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: and I hurt myself and I was in the hospital

658
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 2: and Ko and I went, oh no, because we had

659
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: just been talking about some song that yeah, so wow. Yeah,

660
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: so weird random like things that I remember from.

661
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, you definitely win. You know, whenever somebody's like,

662
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: I know you always remember where you were during yeah

663
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: you have you You're like, yes, I do, I do. Yes.

664
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: And then there was another injury where I thought he

665
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: broke my nose where we were doing a hold and

666
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: he had to like drop me really like into a

667
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: thing really quick and like spin and I hit his face,

668
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: just punched me right in the nose and I heard

669
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: a crack and oh no, Like I ran out of

670
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: the room because I thought it was blood. It was

671
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: just like snot from getting hit really hard.

672
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 3: But I was like, oh great, cool broke my nose, like.

673
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, And then you ended up hurting your

674
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: ankle where it like shattered and you needed a plate

675
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: and screws or that was a separate injury.

676
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: Oh, that was a separate injury. I was rescuing a

677
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: one dollar toy for B like the next year sometime,

678
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: and I went over a small fence and landed on

679
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: the inside of my left ankle and then the bottom

680
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: of my foot was pointing sideways.

681
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, okay, yep, yeah, okay, yeah, you

682
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: know what, It does make sense actually to me that

683
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: children are how we hurt ourselves?

684
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah more yeah.

685
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

686
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I'll get it. Totally worth the

687
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 3: one dollar toy, yeah.

688
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: Exactly, anything to avoid the tantrum.

689
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: Like right, I was like, well, I was being a

690
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: hot shot. I was like, I can hop a fence,

691
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: you know. I was like, I've hopped fence under way

692
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: worse conditions than this. Yeah, and then I but apparently

693
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: I'd never hopped a fence in ugs.

694
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: Right.

695
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I do not recommend that there is the

696
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: killer ankle support zero. Yeah.

697
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: So were you at any point in time, I know

698
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned that when you were then let go from

699
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: the show you then started season three. Was there ever

700
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: a time where you were shooting season two and doing

701
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars at the same time. No, okay,

702
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: because on hiatus, right, I was on hiatus because we had.

703
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: I think that the season before they had asked me

704
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: to do it, and we were trying to figure out

705
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: how can I make this work? And my manager, Rachel,

706
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: who you know, has had several clients on there as

707
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: dancers and as contestants, and she was just like, I

708
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't think you really want to do this?

709
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, yeah, I really want to

710
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 2: do this, and it just full House was like Fuller

711
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, no, we can't write this is we

712
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: love you but no, And so it kind of happened

713
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: over hiatus. But then, like I said, I got a

714
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: perfect score all tens on my jove.

715
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah this is week eight, one week before the semifinals.

716
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, one week before the semifinals. And and I

717
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: was eliminated. And literally the next morning was back on

718
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: the set of Fuller.

719
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: So my gosh, okay, so you score a perfect thirty

720
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: on your drive and then you also got a twenty

721
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: nine on your team up tango and yes, somehow you

722
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: were eliminated. Did you feel like this was coming? This

723
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: seems like people should have been protesting outside of CBS.

724
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: Honestly, I was super happy to go out, how I did.

725
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: I loved that jive, it was one of my favorites.

726
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: Got a great score. I felt like I went out

727
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: on top. And I was like, and I didn't have

728
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 2: to like kill myself to get right to do both jobs,

729
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: to do both jobs, because I think I would have

730
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 2: sucked at both of them, you know, like that would

731
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: suffer and I wouldn't have been very funny. So yeah,

732
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: it was probably better that I just tried to do

733
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: one thing at a time.

734
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: After you were eliminated. Did you watch the Semis and

735
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: the finals or did did you just need some distance

736
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: from it?

737
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: I didn't, But I was like I knew all that

738
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 2: was going on, you know what I mean, Like I

739
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: didn't care about watching it on TV. I was like, oh,

740
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 2: let me just hear the gossip from everybody. Yeah, you're

741
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 2: still in the MA and people on said and contestants,

742
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 2: you know, just sending pictures or doing all all this

743
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: one really well, yeah, no, I wasn't. I I was

744
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 2: really sad the night we got eliminated. And I remember,

745
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 2: because you get eliminated and then they're like, okay, now

746
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: go do a press line, and you're like, we did

747
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: our press line. And then Kio and I went back

748
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: into the ballroom and it was empty. They cleared everything

749
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: out for the night, and he and I just went

750
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: and sat in there for a while and talked, and

751
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 2: it was really nice, and it was like a really

752
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: nice way to feel like, Okay, I gave this floor

753
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: everything I could. I gave this partner everything I could,

754
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 2: and we he went further than he had ever gone

755
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: in the show. His mom flew in from South Africa

756
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: to see his dance. He hadn't seen her in like

757
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: nine years. So yeah, it was really cool and really

758
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: special and yeah, and I didn't but I didn't. I

759
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 2: didn't watch the rest of it after Wow, I saw highlights.

760
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah I have And I have a picture

761
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 2: of Key and I sitting on the steps of the

00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 2: ballroom floor like where the band aid stuff is, and

00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,080

Speaker 2: thank you. I'm really glad I got to do this.

767
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: There is one more dance I want to ask you about,

768
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: because when I first signed onto doing the show, Jensen

769
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: and I decided to just pick one of our friends

770
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: who had been on it and just see how they did.

771
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,759

776
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 3: weighed so much.

779
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,720

787
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: like the other two kind of backup dancers for like

788
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: the first little moment or whatever.

789
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean really incredible. I think you that you

790
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: scored a twenty one for that dance, and I that's

791
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: one of those moments where I want to be like,

792
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm gonna need you to put the scores

793
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: down and and rewatch, let's replay play the play the

794
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: clip and then and then give her a better score,

795
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: because I literally implored if I was even do it

796
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: every one of those where I was like, yeah, I

797
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: won a twenty one, that was not a twenty one. Yeah,

798
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: definitely not. So I just have to tell you how

799
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: how incredible I thought, specifically that dance was.

800
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 2: Thank you.

801
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 3: That one was.

802
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one was really fun and like the costume

803
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: was amazing. But that was one of those where I

804
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 2: was like, oh this is this is the costume challenge

805
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: where you're like I just figured this out two hours

806
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: ago and now I have to relearn things.

807
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: Yes, So looking back now, how do you feel about

808
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: your overall performance? Do you think you exceeded your own expectations?

809
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: To be honest, I wanted to make it to the end. Okay,

810
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: you wanted to make it to that.

811
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: You wanted to make it to the end.

812
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: But I was really happy with how I did.

813
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 2: I had to let go of this idea that everything

814
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 2: was going to be perfect and just do my best,

815
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: you know, right. I mean I think everybody that goes

816
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 2: on is like I want to make it to the end. Maybe,

817
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe not like Geraldo, but right, I think

818
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 2: most people, if you're really serious about it, or you

819
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 2: have any kind of dance or you just are loving

820
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: the show, like I really want to make it to

821
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: the end. But no, I I was really proud of

822
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: how hard I worked. I was really proud of what

823
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: Kio and I did. You know some of the things

824
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: that we fought for to get for set design and

825
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: stuff like that. You know, it's you, you are, You

826
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: have a lot of input. You and your partner have

827
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: a lot of input and sometimes you got to really

828
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: fight for what you want.

829
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

830
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: And I was just really proud of of what we

831
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,480

832
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,040

00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 2: I've done three different like reality show competition ones like that,

897
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: and it was because they were all three things that

898
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 2: I really wanted to learn how to do ballroom dance yep,

899

902
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,919

00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: be interesting to see. I mean, I I feel like

904
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,879

905
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: from my injury, like that doesn't really interfere anymore. But

906
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 2: for a long time it was, you know, I wouldn't

907
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: have been able to dance in heels or do anything

908
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: like that.

909
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: That was from the the B injury. From the B.

00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was the It was the small to

913
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: the fence and the ex which, by the.

914
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 2: Way, Zoe and her dad because they were it was

915
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: Zoe's soccer tournament that we were at when this all happened.

916
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,959
Speaker 2: Zoe's dad and her went and retrieved the little toy

917
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 2: and put it in a shadow box, oh, framed, and

918
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: that was like Christmas present, and it's sitting upstairs on

919
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: my Yeah, oh, to remind you if you remind me.

920
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: But also don't remember the broken ankle, you know what

921
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 2: it was? Uh, that broken ankle led to a lot

922
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 2: of reevaluation of a.

923
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 3: Lot of things.

924
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: So if anything, I look at that little thing as

925
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: like remember to be still before life forces you to.

926
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, good lesson to take from that.

927
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: I mean I haven't learned it.

928
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: It's probably still you know, but I look at it

929
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 2: and I think about.

930
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: It, right, you think about it, I should do that

931
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: memory memory there. Do people still talk to you about

Speaker 2: Again we're like, I mean I get a lot of

935
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 2: people like you and Keio should have gone further, you know,

936
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,719

Speaker 2: great fans. And you know, at the end of the day,

939
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: like there's how well you do, which is its own thing,

940
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: and then there's the popularity contest of it, all right,

941
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: and that you can't account for.

942
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: If if it's a sports person that has.

943
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 2: A bazillion fans, they're gonna get a lot of you know.

944
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 2: So there's part of it that you're like, I can't

945
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 2: take that. This isn't personal, you.

946
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: Know, like it exactly. There's also the aspect of people

947
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: who were thinking like, oh, that dance was so good,

948
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: I bet they don't need the votes, like people thinking like, right,

949
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: they're safe, they're safe. I'm going to put my vote

950
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: over here. So yeah, there's so many things you can't

951
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: account for. Also, you know, they don't tell you what

952
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: the math is they don't tell you like it's here's

953
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: how much of it accounts for the judges, and here's

954
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: how much are the fans. It's based on the week.

955
00:44:54,360 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 3: Before your elimination, right right, So so you're not so

956
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: like I.

957
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 2: Knew I didn't get eliminated for the perfect score for

958
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 2: the job, exactly.

959
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 3: I got eliminated for the week before, which I was like,

960
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 3: oh I could have done that, you know. But that's

961
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 3: the thing is you're you're like, oh, I'm gonna get eliminated.

962
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: But I had my best night and I just did. Yeah.

963
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: I just told me like they're a strading part, but

964
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: also kind of the part where I was like, Okay, good,

965
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 2: I got my perfect score and.

966
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: Now I can leave exactly, thank you. I am going

967
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: out on a high.

968
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that honestly we did. We went out on

969
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 2: such a high with that dance. And we had so

970
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: many we had like people's you know, in like the

971
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,319

Speaker 3: Yeah, and I got to wear tennis shoes.

975
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,160

976
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 3: Did so well, because I didn't have to dance.

977
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:49,720

00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: On my Oh my gosh, because to mention it, not

1031
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: to say.

1032
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 2: Anything of the extensions. So I had all kinds of extensions.

1033
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 2: Plus for the last group number we did the Beyonce

1034
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: Medley thing, I had a half leg clipped to my hair,

1035
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 2: plus extensions in the front.

1036
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: Like my head.

1037
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 2: Not only did the does a dress weigh twelve pounds?

1038
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: You don't have your hair done and all everywhere until

1039
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 2: dress rehearsal right, So now all of a sudden, you're like,

1040
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 2: oh my god, my head, my head weighs as a

1041
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 2: ton because my hair's piled up and you're sprayed, like

1042
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: I mean, there is nothing moving.

1043
00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 3: And I'm just saying that because you got hair.

1044
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 2: Me and my three strands of hair, it was heavy

1045
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 2: because they had to attach a bunch of stuff. It

1046
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 2: might be okay for you because there's no room to

1047
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 2: attach any more hair to your head, but for those

1048
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 2: of us who are follically challenged, it was a lot

1049
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 2: of extensions.

1050
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: This is good for me to know because I hadn't

1051
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: even thought about, Yeah.

1052
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 2: Your hair will be so dried and crispy and fried

1053
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 2: from the gel and the heat styling and the hair

1054
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,439
Speaker 2: spray and the bobby pins.

1055
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 3: And the yeah it's yeah, your skin and your hair.

1056
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 2: Basically the outer shell of you when you're done is

1057
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 2: just you're just gonna want to just scrub it all off,

1058
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 2: just in an air fryer.

1059
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 3: Internet.

1060
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, just crisp yourself, peel it off, start over.

1061
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, this was all very good advice. But as

1062
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: my last question for you, if you could just give

1063
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: me like one piece of advice as I prep for

1064
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: episode one, what do you think is the most important

1065
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: thing specifically for week one?

1066
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 2: I would say the most important thing is oh god,

1067
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: that now to see I've had like three ideas. But

1068
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 2: I would say have fun, okay, and connect to the audience.

1069
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,439
Speaker 1: Both in the room and at.

1070
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 2: Home, okay, because that those are the people that like,

1071
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You have to give them

1072
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: an interesting story, give them, you know, you got to

1073
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: give some reality TV.

1074
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 3: Moments that they love, because that's you know, the show.

1075
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: But have fun.

1076
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 2: And the more you're having fun, the more the audience

1077
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 2: at home sees it, more, the judges see it, and

1078
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 2: also the less you beat yourself up right right, which

1079
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: is and I know you and you're like, it can

1080
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 2: be you can be like I'm an idiot, yes, yeah,

1081
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 2: could I screw that up?

1082
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: You stupid? Just have fun, And that is the hardest part,

1083
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: is overcoming that when that happens, when you, like you

1084
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: said in your example where you were like that Disney

1085
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: week and you kept wanting to turn it right once,

1086
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: I'm upset with myself and I'm and I'm so else

1087
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: talking in such a negative way to get it, forget it.

1088
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: I'm never I can't I can't learn anything. I can't

1089
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: pay attention to anything. Things I knew for sure I

1090
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: had locked in a second ago. Now I no longer have.

1091
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 2: Well, you will probably also have a tantrum, but I

1092
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: suggest just check the door handle first.

1093
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, So it really.

1094
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 3: Ruins the mood when you're like, I'm pissed, door handled,

1095
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 3: door handled?

1096
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: Right, I can't get out of their Yeah.

1103
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: is such a good dancer that you were that nervous,

1106
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,480
