Speaker 1: Hello from home. That's right, new location. But I'm still
Speaker 1: Danielle Fischel, podcaster, TV director, mother of two, vengeful, murdered bride,
Speaker 1: and to most anyone between the ages of thirty to
Speaker 1: fifty to Panga from Boy Meets World, But most importantly
Speaker 1: right now, I am just one of the hard working
Speaker 1: contestants pushing my body and spirit to the limit on
Speaker 1: season thirty four of Dancing with the Stars, and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I am currently tired as heck. It
Speaker 1: was Halloween night, which we will get to. We then
Speaker 1: drafted dancers for next week's team dance, and then I
Speaker 1: did a press line, and then I went to Julianne
Speaker 1: and Alfonso's Halloween mid season party. It was a dance party,
Speaker 1: and then I ate lots of food and I had
Speaker 1: a milkshake on the way home. And now here I
Speaker 1: am in my office recording this podcast for you. I
Speaker 1: absolutely love this crazy schedule. I mean, I got up
Speaker 1: this morning at five am. I left my house at
Speaker 1: about six forty five, got to work at eight, went
Speaker 1: right into makeup, was in makeup for about an hour
Speaker 1: and a half and then went right into hair. Was
Speaker 1: in hair for about an hour and a half. As
Speaker 1: you can see here, I have taken down my hair.
Speaker 1: It was really beautifully done today. It was bridal hair
Speaker 1: because I was supposed to seem like a beautiful bride
Speaker 1: on her wedding day. It ended up because it's Halloween night,
Speaker 1: it ended up with there being lots of blood. And
Speaker 1: the blood is very sticky and very crunchy, and it
Speaker 1: is all over my hair. I actually am not sure
Speaker 1: how I'm going to get it out of my hair.
Speaker 1: I'm going to start with my Beefree by Daniel Official
Speaker 1: leave in conditioner. That's always the first thing to do
Speaker 1: with the kind of hair spray and like stuff they
Speaker 1: use to make our hair make sure it doesn't like
Speaker 1: fall out while we're dancing.
Speaker 2: Is so.
Speaker 1: Intense. It's like straight up glue. And one of the
Speaker 1: tricks they told me when I was like, how am
Speaker 1: I supposed to get this stuff out of my hair?
Speaker 1: One of the tricks they told me is that you
Speaker 1: start with conditioner. You put conditioner all over it. So
Speaker 1: I will use my Beefree by Daniel Fishal leave in conditioner.
Speaker 1: I'm going to spray it all over. I'm going to
Speaker 1: try to brush through it as much as I can.
Speaker 1: Then I'm going to get in the shower. Then I'm
Speaker 1: going to use the Beufree by Daniel Fisher hair mask.
Speaker 1: I'm going to put that all over my hair, and
Speaker 1: then once I feel like I have most of the chunky,
Speaker 1: sticky blood out of my hair, I will do two
Speaker 1: rounds of shampoo and we'll go back to conditioner. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I digress. That was quite a workaround, but I'm going
Speaker 1: to be distracted by this blood in my hair for
Speaker 1: quite a while. So this week Halloween Night, Pasha and I.
Speaker 1: You heard us joke last week about the fact that
Speaker 1: we had a very close call during our camera blocking
Speaker 1: where I almost slipped out of his hands, And that
Speaker 1: close call was not even the closest call. We had
Speaker 1: a real close call in rehearsals, which I should post
Speaker 1: the pictures of because it's pretty crazy. And we joked
Speaker 1: last week that if Pasha did drop me on my face,
Speaker 1: which he would never do, but if he did, he
Speaker 1: said he would pay for my nose job. And we
Speaker 1: joked about that, Oh haha, worst case scenario, You pay
Speaker 1: for my nose job, wouldn't you know it. Just a
Speaker 1: few days later, Danny, Pasha's wife, incredible pro on Dancing
Speaker 1: with the Stars, Daniella Kara gosh Uh broke Dylan's nose.
Speaker 1: Pasha and I were in the room next door and
Speaker 1: we were we finished up, we went and we're having
Speaker 1: a conversation with some other people who work there, and
Speaker 1: then Pasha and I said, let's say goodbye to Dylan
Speaker 1: and Danny, and we opened the door and Dylan was
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch with his head back and an
Speaker 1: ice pack on his nose, and Danny looked at us,
Speaker 1: just horrified, and we went, what's wrong. And we found
Speaker 1: out that they had been working on something and Danny
Speaker 1: was like on the ground and Dylan went to go
Speaker 1: lift her up, and Danny accidentally elbowed him in the
Speaker 1: nose and it made a sound. It sounded like a slap,
Speaker 1: and Danny actually thought like her bicep or her tricep
Speaker 1: must have hit Dylan's cheek because it just made such
Speaker 1: like a slap sound, and he was like, that's not
Speaker 1: my cheek. So anyway, we sat there with Dylan and
Speaker 1: you know, we filled up some paperwork and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'll take you to the emergency room right now, like
Speaker 1: I've got you know, I'll take you, and then Danny
Speaker 1: and Pasha were like, we will take him too, Like
Speaker 1: everyone was fighting over who was going to take Dylan
Speaker 1: to the emergency room. We didn't want to leave his side.
Speaker 1: We uh. It's just that when that kind of stuff happens,
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy how much you are just like, no,
Speaker 1: we're your family, we're your people. We're not going anywhere,
Speaker 1: not leaving you alone. You're going to be You're with us.
Speaker 1: Just crazy. And then today during camera blocking, Pasha and
Speaker 1: I were going right after Alan and Elane, and so
Speaker 1: we were in the area we call the breezeway, which
Speaker 1: is the pass through area where the elephant doors are
Speaker 1: and it's where close by where press sits when they
Speaker 1: watch the show from the press area, and where we
Speaker 1: have our touchups, our get our hair and makeup touch ups.
Speaker 1: And then right on the other side is the stage
Speaker 1: and we were warming up there because immediately when Alan
Speaker 1: and Elaine are done, it's going to be our turn
Speaker 1: for our camera blocking. So we walk out there to
Speaker 1: go warm up, and I look up on the monitor
Speaker 1: and I see that Elaine is standing in the middle
Speaker 1: of the ballroom and she's got her arm around our
Speaker 1: stage manager and She's holding onto Alan and everybody looks
Speaker 1: pretty stressed, and I'm like, what's going on? And everyone
Speaker 1: kind of assumed it was about her foot, because you know,
Speaker 1: she did a contemporary last week and she was barefoot
Speaker 1: and she's got a titanium rod in her foot, and
Speaker 1: so everyone was like, ooh, like her foot must still
Speaker 1: be really bothering her, like some must have happened. And
Speaker 1: then she was in that position for just what felt
Speaker 1: like a really long time, like thirty minutes. I think
Speaker 1: it was like thirty minutes, and then I realized she
Speaker 1: still had her shoes on, and I was like, if
Speaker 1: this is about her foot, why would her shoes still
Speaker 1: be on? And then she laid down and you could
Speaker 1: just tell that she was in like so much pain,
Speaker 1: and everybody backstage was just standing around with baited breath,
Speaker 1: like what's going to happen? What is happening? And is
Speaker 1: she okay? And what are we going to do? And
Speaker 1: everybody was just so worried about her. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is such a close knit cast. Everybody really does love
Speaker 1: and encourage and support each other. But it would not
Speaker 1: be crazy for me to say that Elaine is one
Speaker 1: of the most beloved people like, she's just she's so
Speaker 1: kind to everybody. She's so sweet, she's really funny, she's
Speaker 1: so hard working, she loves being there so much. So
Speaker 1: everyone was just, you know, everyone was just worried about
Speaker 1: her and hoping that she was going to recover, and
Speaker 1: then we didn't know until they made the announcement during
Speaker 1: the show that her doctor had cleared her to continue.
Speaker 1: We didn't know what the update was. So I'm really
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing her next week and just having
Speaker 1: her back out there and hopefully killing it for us.
Speaker 2: Halloween is around the corner, and your favorite podcaster are
Speaker 2: serving up episodes that are so good it's actually scary.
Speaker 2: Sex and the City meets Severance when Adam Scott joins
Speaker 2: Kristin Davis to discuss the haunting relationship between Big and

Speaker 2: It Is? Of course nine to one one Nashville co
Speaker 2: star Kimberly Williams Paisley joins Jessica Capshaw and Camilla lighting

Speaker 2: Brie Larsen is a work in progress. Sophia Bush finds
Speaker 2: out why, and Walt's right over to daniel With because
Speaker 2: Danielle Fischel has fellow Dancing with the Stars contestant Dylan
Speaker 2: Effron on to talk about the ballroom, the leaderboard and more.
Speaker 2: Listen now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
Speaker 2: you get your podcast.
Speaker 1: So the show tonight Halloween Knight, As I mentioned, Pasha
Speaker 1: and I danced to Viennese waltz to Die with a
Speaker 1: Smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars one of my
Speaker 1: favorite songs. I just love it so much. And I
Speaker 1: don't normally consider myself to be like a huge Goga fan,
Speaker 1: like I love who doesn't love Lady Gaga Like she's
Speaker 1: in credible But I'm not. I don't know like every
Speaker 1: song of hers, I don't have every album, but this
Speaker 1: song is just one of my favorites. And because it
Speaker 1: was a Halloween theme, we wrote a story me Pasha
Speaker 1: and husband of the podcast, Jensen, and it is a
Speaker 1: ghost story about a ghost bride returning to visit her husband,
Speaker 1: and though it may look like a love story at first,
Speaker 1: it was anything but that. Halfway through you realize Pasha
Speaker 1: has blood on his hands. It's revealed that I am dead,
Speaker 1: I have blood in the middle of my dress and
Speaker 1: I'm actually a ghost, and he murdered me, and I'm
Speaker 1: there for revenge. And it is a really fun week
Speaker 1: of being able to be collaborative and talk about ideas.
Speaker 1: Pasha always choreographs with a backstory. He always comes to
Speaker 1: a dance with an idea in his mind of what
Speaker 1: the story is, so the fact that this backstory was
Speaker 1: so detailed really helped him just choreograph something beautiful. He
Speaker 1: loves a Viennese waltz, and so do I. I mean
Speaker 1: now after having done them like Argentine Tango, I think
Speaker 1: is still my number one favorite dance, and then followed
Speaker 1: very closely with a Viennese waltz. I just I loved
Speaker 1: it so much. I love being in frame but being
Speaker 1: able to be very powerful and glide across the floor.
Speaker 1: I know it's not something the judges had really mentioned
Speaker 1: to me, but I have seen so much feedback from
Speaker 1: those of you online about wanting to see me breathe
Speaker 1: more and be more expressive in my face. And I
Speaker 1: generally have a very expressive face, but it hasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: been expressive in my dances, and so it was something
Speaker 1: I really brought to this week that that was like
Speaker 1: my number one goal. My number one goal for this
Speaker 1: week was to just emote and express with my face
Speaker 1: and to really breathe. And I one hundred percent feel
Speaker 1: like I did that. I accomplished my goal for the week.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I know it wasn't something the
Speaker 1: judges have said to me that they felt like, although
Speaker 1: they have said that they didn't feel like I was breathing,
Speaker 1: but nobody none of the judges have mentioned not seeing
Speaker 1: me emote on my face. But so then today when
Speaker 1: you know, the new feedback is kind of now about
Speaker 1: like my arms or moving from my body. I am
Speaker 1: looking forward to implementing that next week. Next week, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm allowed to say what dance we're
Speaker 1: doing yet, so I'm not going to. But we've got
Speaker 1: a really good dance next week for me to be
Speaker 1: able to put their feedback into play, which which is
Speaker 1: always my goal. My goal has been from the beginning
Speaker 1: to take one or two or maybe even three things
Speaker 1: that I can improve on, and there are endless numbers
Speaker 1: of things I can improve on because I'm not a dancer.
Speaker 1: I don't have any dance experience. If I were to
Speaker 1: take all of the things I have to improve on
Speaker 1: and try to work on them every single week, I
Speaker 1: would be very overwhelmed and probably wouldn't look very good
Speaker 1: out on the dance floor. So my goal has been
Speaker 1: this whole time to just improve on a couple of
Speaker 1: little things and take their feedback and try to make
Speaker 1: those some of the things I improve on. So next week,
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to take up more space, even
Speaker 1: though I don't have that much space to take up
Speaker 1: because I'm only five to one, But I'm going to try,
Speaker 1: and I know Pasha will help me, and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna continue to do what I have been doing, which
Speaker 1: is listen to him and you guys, guys, thank you
Speaker 1: for continuing to do what you guys have been doing,
Speaker 1: which is supporting us and voting for us. As you
Speaker 1: can tell, without you, there is no show, there's no show,
Speaker 1: there's no contestants to stick around without your votes. And
Speaker 1: you know that's evident by the fact that I'm still
Speaker 1: in the competition, that Andy's still in the competition, that
Speaker 1: we're all still in the competition. Without your votes, we
Speaker 1: could all be gone. So if you want to continue
Speaker 1: to see us every week, keep voting for the people
Speaker 1: you want to see because that's your power. That's how
Speaker 1: you're a part of this show. I was really excited
Speaker 1: for tonight's dance. I love Halloween. I love Halloween Night
Speaker 1: on Dancing with the Stars. I think it's always so interesting.
Speaker 1: I think some of the pros do some of their
Speaker 1: best choreography on Halloween. I thought it was really great
Speaker 1: this night the Monster thon, which added a whole new
Speaker 1: element to our rehearsal because now on top of our
Speaker 1: four hour rehearsal where we had to learn whatever our
Speaker 1: current dance was, so in my case, the Viennese Waltz,
Speaker 1: we would have to then add extra time to learn
Speaker 1: two other dances because you don't know how long you're
Speaker 1: going to be doing those dances. There, it's like a
Speaker 1: four minute window of two dances. One is the Hustle
Speaker 1: and the other one is the Lindy Hop. And if
Speaker 1: you make it through the first round of dancing the Hustle,
Speaker 1: then you have to know the Lindy Hop, so you
Speaker 1: have to prepare as if you're going to be there
Speaker 1: until the very end, and those dances are done at
Speaker 1: the end of the night, and those rehearsals are done
Speaker 1: at the end of your rehearsal day, and you're just exhausted.
Speaker 1: You're total, You're physically exhausted, and then okay, time to
Speaker 1: put on a big happy face and lots of energy
Speaker 1: and jumping around and your feet hurt, and you're sweaty,
Speaker 1: and you're tired, and you're probably hungry and you're thirsty.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's a This is definitely a physically
Speaker 1: demanding and physically grueling show. I happened to love it
Speaker 1: because I don't know. I had no idea how much
Speaker 1: I enjoyed being this physical. I just love it. I
Speaker 1: feel like I was in another life. I would have
Speaker 1: been an athlete if I had any of that talent.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Like I'd be an athlete if
Speaker 1: only I had talent. I know that sounds crazy, but
Speaker 1: that is how I feel like. If I could have changed,
Speaker 1: like shifted courses and not been an actor now, I
Speaker 1: would have been an athlete of some kind for sure.
Speaker 1: It's just so much fun. Overall tonight, I was really
Speaker 1: happy with our dance. I know Pasha was really happy
Speaker 1: with our dance. There's one moment that bums me out
Speaker 1: that I missed the timing on, and I think it
Speaker 1: had something to do with my dress reveal. During dress rehearsal,
Speaker 1: I couldn't get my dress reveal undone, and then during
Speaker 1: the live show I did it. I got it undone.
Speaker 1: And then when Pasha jumps up from his knees and
Speaker 1: I grab him by the neck right before we waltz
Speaker 1: across the floor, the timing of me grabbing him by
Speaker 1: the neck was so precise, and during all of our
Speaker 1: rehearsals it had been so good, and then the timing
Speaker 1: of me grabbing his neck just didn't happen on the
Speaker 1: right time, and I think I was just late to it,
Speaker 1: which kind of stinks. No one would ever know without
Speaker 1: me telling them that. I mean, unless they were just like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and you go back and watch it, and
Speaker 1: then you'll be like, yeah, that would have been better
Speaker 1: if it had been on the beat when it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be. But so that bummed me out. That's
Speaker 1: like the one thing I look back at the dance
Speaker 1: cup and I go, yeah, I mess that up, and
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hadn't messed that up basically all week,
Speaker 1: but then something always falls out out. You never know
Speaker 1: what it's going to be, and in this case, that
Speaker 1: was the one moment that I was like, oh, watching
Speaker 1: it back, I wish I could have done that better.
Speaker 1: But like I said, going into this week, my number
Speaker 1: one goal was just feeling more comfortable emoting and using
Speaker 1: my face, and I feel like I did that. So
Speaker 1: if I'm going to just look at my own personal goals,
Speaker 1: I feel like I accomplished that. Of course, I wish
Speaker 1: I would have kept four nines or even had more
Speaker 1: of a mix of eights and nines instead of three
Speaker 1: eighths and one nine. Thank you Bruno for your one nine.
Speaker 1: As always, I really do appreciate their feedback. Though I
Speaker 1: appreciated Cheryl starting it off by talking about my body,
Speaker 1: and you know, Derek and Carrie Anne contributing. I do
Speaker 1: always appreciate it. If they didn't give me any sort
Speaker 1: of feedback, it would just seem like they didn't care.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that they care and that they think
Speaker 1: I'm capable. Cheryl Burke was there tonight as the guest judge.
Speaker 1: I thought she did a really great job. I thought
Speaker 1: she delivered exactly what I thought she was going to deliver,
Speaker 1: which was very honest feedback. She knows her stuff, having
Speaker 1: been a ballroom dancer, having been a Dancing with the
Speaker 1: Stars pro for as many years as she was, having
Speaker 1: been a Mirror Ball champion. She knows her stuff, and
Speaker 1: she doesn't hesitate to tell you when and why. Maybe
Speaker 1: she's docking you a point for something, which I expected
Speaker 1: from her and I appreciate. I thought she gave really
Speaker 1: good feedback. I thought she was great. I thought she
Speaker 1: did a great job as a judge. Seeing her in
Speaker 1: that fourth chair was really good. I loved Robert and
Speaker 1: Whitney's dance. I know Roberts fans are thrilled, thrilled that
Speaker 1: he got his first tens. He deserved it. It was
Speaker 1: so great. I loved all that seeing I'll have blood
Speaker 1: on It's like, no, not our sweet Robert with blood
Speaker 1: all over his face. That was really great. I thought
Speaker 1: Andy's dance was really good when I saw it earlier
Speaker 1: in the day. Actually I think I did wasn't earlier
Speaker 1: in the day. I saw it the day before, and
Speaker 1: then I saw Emma in the hair and makeup room
Speaker 1: and I congratulated her and I told her what an
Speaker 1: incredible job I thought she did, and that I really
Speaker 1: felt like for Andy, this felt like kind of a
Speaker 1: breakthrough week. It really felt like he improved. I thought
Speaker 1: I was really super impressed, and I told Emma that
Speaker 1: I was really just really proud of them. I also,
Speaker 1: I really liked Jena and Yon's dance. I thought it
Speaker 1: was really good. Yan's contemporary is obviously, I mean, his
Speaker 1: choreography for contemporary is just out of this world. I
Speaker 1: think you guys probably saw the dance he did with
Speaker 1: Jenna during one of the bumpers. It's like just unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And I really when I saw Jen in her rehearsal
Speaker 1: dance yesterday, I said the same thing to her. I said,
Speaker 1: this was your week. Last week, you know, Carrie Ane
Speaker 1: told me I had a breakthrough dance, and I said,
Speaker 1: this is really your week, and I thought that that's
Speaker 1: how it was going to go. I really did. I
Speaker 1: was kind of then shocked when I saw and heard
Speaker 1: the feedback, and I hope that Yan doesn't allow kind
Speaker 1: of the negativity that has been floating around online this
Speaker 1: week on the internet, Like I hope it he doesn't
Speaker 1: let it taint this season and this experience for him,
Speaker 1: cause I know that the negativity that can be found online.
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm going to talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: negativity and then I'm going to follow it up with
Speaker 1: talking about that. There's also a lot of positivity, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to stick with the negativity for right now.
Speaker 1: There is quite a bit of negativity online and it
Speaker 1: can really be very noisy, and if you aren't good
Speaker 1: about setting boundaries for yourself about how much of it
Speaker 1: you take in, it can really affect you. It's affected
Speaker 1: a lot of the cast and a lot of the pros.
Speaker 1: And I just my wish for Yan and I told
Speaker 1: him this is that he makes a decision about what
Speaker 1: whether or not he loved this experience based solely just
Speaker 1: on his feelings, like his feelings of having a partner,
Speaker 1: and his feelings of being on the ballroom floor and
Speaker 1: his feelings about putting together a dance every week, and
Speaker 1: you know it's a reality TV show. Of being a
Speaker 1: part of that and not let the outside noise of
Speaker 1: what people on the internet say kind of ruin the
Speaker 1: experience for him, because it would really make me very
Speaker 1: sad if he ended up walking away from it and
Speaker 1: thinking like I could never do that again because it's
Speaker 1: just too negative. So I will look forward to seeing
Speaker 1: Yahn's future and I think if he comes back for
Speaker 1: another season and he's paired with somebody, I know he
Speaker 1: is going to bust his butt as he did every
Speaker 1: week this first season, his first season, and he's only
Speaker 1: going to get better. That's what happens. You know, you
Speaker 1: work and you get better week after week, and you
Speaker 1: get better season after season. There's no pro who comes
Speaker 1: in is their first season and is like, well, that's it.
Speaker 1: Even if you win your first season, you're not a
Speaker 1: perfect pro. You're not a perfect pro. You don't the
Speaker 1: stars aligned, and you may have won your first season,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make you perfect or you know, an
Speaker 1: a plus coach or pro just because you win. So
Speaker 1: we all have room for improvement. I would also like
Speaker 1: to mention about the negativity that if you are a
Speaker 1: fan of any person on this cast, I promise you
Speaker 1: they want you to be kind and supportive of the
Speaker 1: rest of the cast. You can have your favorite, you
Speaker 1: should have your favorite. Who's your favorite who you're voting for.
Speaker 1: How many favorites do you have? How many people are
Speaker 1: you voting for? You should be doing that. You should
Speaker 1: be curating who you want to see in the finale,
Speaker 1: and then vote for all those people. We don't know
Speaker 1: if it's a four person or a five person or
Speaker 1: a three person finale, We have no idea. But vote
Speaker 1: for everybody you'd love to see in the final, and
Speaker 1: then vote for those people every single week. Go for it.
Speaker 1: Do it. But if you are a giant fan of
Speaker 1: let's just use me as an example. If you're a
Speaker 1: giant fan of me, you know for sure I do
Speaker 1: not want you going after any other contestant if they
Speaker 1: score better than me, or if they win something that
Speaker 1: I don't win, Like, no way. I love everyone on
Speaker 1: this cast. I would never want anybody attacking anyone. If
Speaker 1: you're a fan of Robert, if you're a fan of Whitney,
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of Alex, we all love each
Speaker 1: other truly, and we support each other and we get
Speaker 1: along very well. If you are a fan of anybody
Speaker 1: on the show, support your fave without putting down anyone else.
Speaker 1: It's just it's kind of we are not doing it
Speaker 1: amongst ourselves, and we don't want to see it on
Speaker 1: the internet. We're trying really hard, We're working. We're all
Speaker 1: working really hard to make good TV, to put on
Speaker 1: good dances, to change our lives. All of our lives
Speaker 1: have been changed by being a part of this experience.
Speaker 1: And the only real painful part is some of the
Speaker 1: you know, really nasty stuff that's out there on the
Speaker 1: flip side. I have to tell you, guys, how funny
Speaker 1: and sweet and thoughtful so many of you are. I
Speaker 1: have been told by every pro and every celebrity contestant
Speaker 1: that I know that has been on this show. I
Speaker 1: have been told, do not read comments at all, don't
Speaker 1: read comments, and also, whatever you do, stay far away
Speaker 1: from Reddit. So I have been doing that quite a bit,
Speaker 1: not the comments. I read a lot of comments on Instagram.
Speaker 1: I go through and I try to like as many
Speaker 1: of your comments as I can, especially when we post
Speaker 1: like a funny TikTok or something. I like to go
Speaker 1: in and see what you guys have said. Again, it's
Speaker 1: you guys make me laugh so much. Your comments crack
Speaker 1: me up. And so I've been liking a lot of comments.
Speaker 1: I've been reading comments, but I am not a Reddit person,
Speaker 1: so I've just stayed away from read it. And then
Speaker 1: the other day, I don't know what, little bug crawled
Speaker 1: in my ear and told me to go to the
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars reddit and I just went there
Speaker 1: and I scrolled through the different topics and I don't
Speaker 1: even remember what the story was or what the topic
Speaker 1: was that I clicked on, but I opened it up.
Speaker 1: And when I tell you, I was so touched by
Speaker 1: so many of your comments and so many of the
Speaker 1: sweet things you were saying and talking about all of us,
Speaker 1: and you know what your favorite dances were and why
Speaker 1: it was your favorite dance, and who you're planning to
Speaker 1: vote for and why you're planning to vote for them,
Speaker 1: And I was just blown away by how many of
Speaker 1: you said me that you were voting for me every week,
Speaker 1: and it's it's just when you when you find kind
Speaker 1: and nice pockets on the internet. It's it was really overwhelming.
Speaker 1: I literally like, I welld up. I took a screenshot
Speaker 1: of a of a part of it, and I sent
Speaker 1: it to Jensen and I said, I'm parked outside my
Speaker 1: wardrobe fitting. I had like five minutes before I was
Speaker 1: supposed to be there. And I just was reading read
Speaker 1: it and crying, and not in a mean way. I
Speaker 1: was reading read it and crying because you guys were
Speaker 1: so unbelievably kind and lovely. So it's not all negativity.
Speaker 1: There's also so much positivity out there, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: So our monster on the floor was divided into a
Speaker 1: grid of nine people, and I don't know how they
Speaker 1: determine where everybody goes. There's a there's not like a
Speaker 1: you know, pulling a number from a hat and then
Speaker 1: you get to decide where you're gonna stand. It's just
Speaker 1: kind of like they put you in a certain spot
Speaker 1: and then you just dance there. And it's a little
Speaker 1: weird because you're like, who am I dancing too?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Am I dancing to camera? I'm not even sure I
Speaker 1: was ever even on camera? Maybe I was, Maybe I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Are we supposed to be dancing
Speaker 1: to the judges? Are we supposed to dance to the
Speaker 1: audience that's kind of right next to us. It was
Speaker 1: all just a little bit weird, and there wasn't a
Speaker 1: whole ton of explanation. It was just kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: here's where you guys are gonna be and you're gonna dance,
Speaker 1: and you don't get the actual edit to the song.
Speaker 1: You know what the song is, they told us what
Speaker 1: the song is, but you don't get the specific two
Speaker 1: minute version you're dancing to until Monday night, which was
Speaker 1: after already after camera blocking. So it's not like you
Speaker 1: get to actually choreograph a full dance. It's kind of like,
Speaker 1: here are some hustle steps and here are some Lindy's steps,
Speaker 1: and then you're allowed to do lifts in both of
Speaker 1: them because that's just the rule that they created. And
Speaker 1: then you know, your pro choreographs something and you kind
Speaker 1: of have a plan. But you could dance your butt
Speaker 1: off for four minutes and if the judges look at
Speaker 1: you in a three second portion where they don't think
Speaker 1: you're fully committing, you can just be axd. So it's
Speaker 1: a little interesting. I don't necessarily know that I love it, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't really know that. I was like, well, that
Speaker 1: was super fun. Like next week is Team Dance. I
Speaker 1: love this idea. I'm very excited about it. I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be super interesting to see how we
Speaker 1: all work together. I think it's going to be super
Speaker 1: interesting to see how we dance on the floor together.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that one. This this marathon dance challenge,
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure I love. It's just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we did that, all right. I hope we don't necessarily
Speaker 1: have to do it again. But we'll see Jen. You know,
Speaker 1: a spoiler alert if you haven't already watched the show.
Speaker 1: Jen and Yan went home, and I'm sad to see
Speaker 1: her go. I'm sad to see everybody go. Anytime someone's
Speaker 1: been eliminated, it has felt a little like a like
Speaker 1: a gut punch. And you know, she works so hard,
Speaker 1: and she was sick last week, and then Yan was
Speaker 1: sick this week, and she's got three babies, just had
Speaker 1: a baby. I really do think she's you know, she's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a superhuman. I don't know how
Speaker 1: she was doing the things that she was doing. And
Speaker 1: I know that she's going to be missed by everybody,
Speaker 1: the same way Scott is missed and Baron is missed,
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody's everybody's energy is the place just
Speaker 1: feels different when with one less person there. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be weird for me in the audience, tonight
Speaker 1: was Jensen of course, and then my boys Adler and
Speaker 1: Keaton were there. Also are unbelievable, wonderful nanny, Miss Delia
Speaker 1: and her boyfriends they Sar, they were there. I was
Speaker 1: so happy to have them in the audience. Delia has
Speaker 1: been working late every Tuesday night so that Jensen is
Speaker 1: able to come to the tapings, and she stays home
Speaker 1: with the kids. And then when the kids came for
Speaker 1: the premiere, Jensen just brought them and Delia went home.
Speaker 1: We only get six tickets every week. I think you
Speaker 1: guys have heard me say that before. We only get
Speaker 1: six tickets, and so it's hard to you know, I
Speaker 1: have a mom and a dad, and my dad's wife Christine,
Speaker 1: and my brother, and I have husband, and I have
Speaker 1: two kids, and then I obviously have friends, and I
Speaker 1: have my aunt and uncle, and I have, like you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people who like to come. So I've
Speaker 1: been trying to rotate it and spread it around, and
Speaker 1: tonight I was really happy that I was able to
Speaker 1: invite Delia and Sasar as my guests. They weren't working,
Speaker 1: they were just there with us as guests, and it
Speaker 1: was really nice to have her there. And then Tara Sudbach,
Speaker 1: producer of this podcast and of Podmeats World and of
Speaker 1: I don't know, like nineteen other podcasts. She was there
Speaker 1: as my guest tonight too, so great to have her.
Speaker 1: And then Kieranan Shipka was in the audience for me
Speaker 1: as well. I love Kierenan. I have known her for
Speaker 1: a really long time. We worked together on a Funnier
Speaker 1: Die sketch years ago, and then we still have mutual
Speaker 1: friends and so we've just been in each other's life,
Speaker 1: which is really cool. And she brought her friend Phoebe.
Speaker 1: I got to wear a really beautiful wet dressed tonight
Speaker 1: that had a tear away belt that had blood underneath it.
Speaker 1: The sash the belt part of it was also supposed
Speaker 1: to have blood on the other side, but the material
Speaker 1: was so thin. If I put blood on the inside,
Speaker 1: it was going to completely show through the outside, so
Speaker 1: we ended up not doing that. But it was beautiful.
Speaker 1: And I got to wear a gorgeous watch, a Patek
Speaker 1: Philipe in eighteen carrot rose gold with a salmon dial.
Speaker 1: Just beautiful. It was courtesy of Eric Wind from Wind Vintage,
Speaker 1: and I was also wearing this gorgeous graduated necklace from
Speaker 1: my dear friend Jamie at Forever Fine Jewels. Just gorgeous.
Speaker 1: I love it so much. It's an eternity necklace. It's
Speaker 1: graduated though, so it's like the bigger stones are kind
Speaker 1: of here in the middle, and it goes all the
Speaker 1: way around to the back. She also sent me a
Speaker 1: beautiful pair of earrings to wear, and for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: one of the earringbacks would not stay closed. I think
Speaker 1: when I took the price tag off, I may have
Speaker 1: pulled the earring back apart a little bit, and so
Speaker 1: it wouldn't stay closed. And I was way too nervous
Speaker 1: it was going to go flying off in my dance,
Speaker 1: and so I decided not to wear those earrings. So
Speaker 1: I was just wearing a watch and this beautiful necklace tonight.
Speaker 1: And now we look forward to the next week. Week eight.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Week eight. The whole thing is only
Speaker 1: eleven weeks, guys, The whole thing is only eleven weeks.
Speaker 1: And next week is Week eight. It's crazy. Next week
Speaker 1: is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night, which will
Speaker 1: not only include a big dance that I am very
Speaker 1: much looking forward to, but it will also include this
Speaker 1: season's team dance, and we picked the teams tonight. I
Speaker 1: don't know when they will make the announcement about those,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna I'm not gonna do it here because
Speaker 1: that's a Dancing with the Stars thing for them to
Speaker 1: be able to do. I really, finally just want to
Speaker 1: say and make sure you know truly how much I
Speaker 1: appreciate your votes and how much I appreciate you guys
Speaker 1: supporting me in every way, not just in the podcast,
Speaker 1: but with your comments and your likes and your shares,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it just it really means a lot to me.
Speaker 1: I my life has truly been changed by this show.
Speaker 1: I mean not to quote Wicked, which we just did
Speaker 1: last week, but my life has been changed for good
Speaker 1: because of Dancing with the Stars for so many reasons,
Speaker 1: not just because I have a new friend for life
Speaker 1: in Pasha and Danny and Dylan and Robert and Jen
Speaker 1: and Whitney and Jordan literally can name everybody on this
Speaker 1: cast Elaine like, not not just because of that, but
Speaker 1: because I just feel like a whole new love of
Speaker 1: dance and expression and storytelling and connection has been opened
Speaker 1: up inside of me and I don't ever want it
Speaker 1: to stop. I don't ever want it to stop. I
Speaker 1: can't believe I get to do this week after week,
Speaker 1: and I want to keep doing it until until the
Speaker 1: very very end. So thank you from the bottom of
Speaker 1: my heart, because we couldn't do it without you. That's it.
