<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's been a wild ride. I'm a little horse

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>today because I was screaming so much last night at

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the TV.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Screaming with joy and glee.

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure I went through so many emotions last night.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I was physically exhausted by the end. I still am.

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Just like what happened, I.

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Agree with you completely, but I wasn't so I wasn't

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 2>shocked by the ending. I was disappointed. I was so disappointed,

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>which is weird because I I don't know, I was

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>excited at the very I think back to the first

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>episode when we first saw the our mirror Ball Winter Dance,

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, Oh, this is exciting. This guy's

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>really good. And now I'm just like, I'm just kind

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>of bummed with how it turned out because I just

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 2>don't well, because.

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>You invested, you went deep on the ride, yes, and

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you weren't surprised the very first episode lined up with

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the finale episode. We all know at this point Robert

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Irwin and Whitney Carson won. Congratulations to the Mirror Ball winners.

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Now let's digress back to the beginning.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>So I watched Okay, I don't know if it was

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>like this nationally, but I found this very interesting that

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I watched. I watched the East Coast feed of the

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>show coming from WABC in New York, New York City,

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and right before I started watching it at four fifty

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 2>pm Pacific, So I caught the tail end of Wheel

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Fortunes during my close friend Ryan Seacress. And as Wheel

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Fortune ended and they transitioned into Dancing with the Stars,

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>there was the commercial that played just before. Yes, was

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 2>a tourism commercial for the country of Australia starring Robert Irwin.

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>What are you talking about?

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I watched a minute long commercial of Robert Irwin dancing

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>with koalas and there were other He wasn't just him

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>the entire time, but he was the star of this commercial.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't just him. Were there other finalists in this commercial?

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>No, there were other nameless Australian people. Okay, he was

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 2>the lone celebrity in this commercial.

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>And that is the commercial everyone viewed going right into

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the finale that they.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Can't I don't know that for certain. I don't know

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>that for certain, but at least in the New York market,

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>which is the number one market in the country. Right

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 2>before the show started, which everyone who's watching this is

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>a fan, and so they're tuning in for the very

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 2>beginning and probably tuning in early like I did. The

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>last thing they see before the show starts is Robert

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Irwin's shit eating grain dancing with the koala And.

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought, said, guys.

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was insane, Like, what on earth? How

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>is that? Okay? No?

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Oh god? Am I getting so much trouble here?

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Is there any world? Have you thought about this theory?

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>What year did Bendy Irwin win Dancing with the Stars.

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Bendy Irwin won Dancing with the Stars in uh in

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>uh Let's see he was very young. He was very young.

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>She won. It was ten years ago, it was twenty fifteen.

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you want to go on a wild conspiracy theory.

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Here, take me what if.

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>When she won? They're like in twoenty twenty five, the

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>ten year marker of when she won, and you are

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna go on Dancing with the Stars. And that's when

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>he started preparing his Journey of Dance.

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, he started training ten years ago in secret. Yes,

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean they I saw someone on TikTok last night

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>say the Irwin Empire is upon us, and like, I'm

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>really okay, I'm really curious because we've talked about this.

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 2>He's in the Zootopia movie, which is out this weekend. Yes,

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>he's in the Zuotopia role, but he's in it. He

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>won Dancing with the Stars. He was I think he was.

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Who was the first contestant to be announced, right.

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>The first one, a long time before the reveal of

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 1>the others on Good Morning America.

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Then over the next twelve months, we are going to

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 2>be seeing a lot of Robert Irwin in Disney Company

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 2>associated things. I think we're going to see him hosting

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the damn you know, Christmas Parade, next year, I think

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.479
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna He's definitely gonna do a lot dancing with

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>the Stars stuff he's going on. He's going to be

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>on the tour. He Witney will be on the tour.

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm really curious what else the Disney Company they're they're

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.479
<v Speaker 2>clearly investing in the Irwins, and I'm really interested to

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 2>see what else happens in the next twelve months, because

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be very apparent. And I don't

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.919
<v Speaker 2>know if this started in twenty fifteen or if it was.

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a great theory.

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm you're saying it could have started way

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>before twenty fifteen.

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe, you know, I don't know if Disney

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 2>had any connection to their father, but when he passed,

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I know, the whole family obviously, everyone became very interested

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 2>in the Irwins, and they're just such a They're a

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 2>delightful family, like every you know. I sobbed every time

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the mom was on screen. It's just it is, there's

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of details here that are really hard to ignore.

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>With a lot of signs, A.

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Lot of signs. Yeah, I don't know. The other thing

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>apart from the conspiracy, Yes, I keep thinking about the

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>way the finales judges. Really I was trying to think

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>about this. I'm like, are we looking at this as

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a season as a whole? Are we supposed to look

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>at this like who performed the best throughout the entire season?

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Or is it like we're looking at tonight. Everyone who's

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 2>here obviously made it through the rest of the season.

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Who does the best tonight?

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Great question? I mean that they were scoring on what

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>they saw. Yes, the audience is obviously scoring on who

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>they've gone on this journey with. I don't think they're

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>scoring that night.

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Because I think, and I'm going to continue to say

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 2>this about this recapit.

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You should I drink every time you say it.

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Ye, Alex Earle to me won the finale. I think

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Alex Earl was the best dancer, and the judges scores

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 2>reflect that.

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Out of the two of them. Are you saying, yeah,

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>out of out of all the finalists the finalists?

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I think Alex should have won.

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Last night, I went on some different emotions. Wait can

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>we go? Oh God, I don't know where to start

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>now because different points last night I was rooting on

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>different people. Yes, and that's not normal for me. I've

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>been pretty consistent about who's going to like, Yeah, Whitney

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>loved it.

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.439
<v Speaker 2>I still say was robbed, like I wanted to see

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 2>her in the finals so badly, and it just I

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.679
<v Speaker 2>wanted to see that freestyle so bad.

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>So bad. Okay, wait, how should we break this up?

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>We have three hours to break down.

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Three three dances each, so we can start with I

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>mean here, should we just go through in order? Yeah,

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 2>and just kind of we don't have to spend too

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 2>much time on each dance. But uh so, uh, I'm

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>just sorry our producer age. You made these incredible notes

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 2>for us, and then I also have my personal ones

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>that I wrote, and it's just funny saying Australian Tourism

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 2>commercial with Robert Irwin. H And the opening number was great.

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 2>It was so fun seeing everybody back and they peppered

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 2>them throughout the show and that was so fun to see.

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. And I was thinking, actually, really really quick,

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I have a question for you, because you lived this,

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you went through this, what was it like. It's not

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 2>that in the great scheme of things, the time between

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>being eliminated and coming back for the finale, it's it's

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>what like two months or something. Like eight weeks.

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>For us first eliminated. I just I just remember it's

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>right before Thanksgiving, and it's like, yeah, wow, so it's

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.719
<v Speaker 1>a it's a tough. And I remember being in rehearsal

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that last week right before Thanksgiving, like every day and

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.439
<v Speaker 1>ordering like my turkey online, like sitting with Dina Kats

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>who's the producer, and we were sitting in the in

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the audience waiting, you know, we're all waiting for your

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.319
<v Speaker 1>little bits to rehearse and everything, but in the ballroom.

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>So it was like probably the day before the finale,

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 1>so Monday, sitting there and I was like, oh my god,

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.559
<v Speaker 1>because I had been filming, so I was on Dancing

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with the Stars got eliminated first, which I didn't anticipate,

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>but because of that, a movie I was supposed to do,

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I had to turn down. I was able to do.

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 1>So then I flew to Florida. Yes, yep, that's where

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.559
<v Speaker 1>I did that, and I went literally from that flight

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 1>home right back into the ballroom to do the finale.

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>So like landed the very next morning, so I didn't

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>have anything planned for Thanksgiving and we're there till Tuesday

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>before Thanksgiving is on a Thursday, you know, all night.

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.359
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't have my turkey, and Diana's like Gelson's

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>we will still have it. So I'm like, we're online

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and like ordering my turkey Gilson's. Goss is your big fan.

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>We love you, Gelson's, we love you. Thanks for saving Thanksgiving.

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I was curious, like what the rehearsal was like after,

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I'm sure you didn't stop. You know,

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 2>you're still dancing in your daily life, I'm sure, but

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 2>like you're not in a rehearsal. No, how was it

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 2>like going from rehearsing so hard for the first couple

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 2>weeks of the show being eliminated, then I imagine it

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 2>coming to a complete halt and then going back into

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>it to do these there's several dances you have to

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 2>do in the finale, yes, so yeah, I.

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Had to do lifts and spins and I good news

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>is I did all my own stunts, most of my

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>own stunts in the Everglades, so kept my body moving

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>because to go from that extreme, you know me, I

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>don't do anything physical, Like I park as close as

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I can to the mall to walk in, like I

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>do not want to walk. I'm not that girl. But yeah,

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I went in and I went in deep, and I

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>rehearsed my butt off, and like didn't like to go

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 1>from that intense training seven days a week. It was wild.

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 1>But so I went from that doing some stunts but

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>like not dancing. And then when you go back in

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you're like in it and you're like, oh my god.

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 1>So you're obviously not as like loosened up as you

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>were because you were rehearsing every day and they're on

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>such a schedule they don't have time to like, you know,

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Pasha did the best he could, but he doesn't have

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>time to like start all over again with me, you know.

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's uh, I mean we all have.

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>To rehearse together, so we can't even do it in

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, the the studio where they show the rooms

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that they're in in the packages each week, Yeah, because

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>we all have to be there together. So we have

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to go to a different studio so we can have

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.599
<v Speaker 1>a huge space to all rehearse together. Except the finalists

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>don't rehearse with us. Okay, they're doing their own thing.

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just all of us eliminate ones that rehearse our

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>little bits.

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>It was so fun to see and I was thinking

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 2>about the people that were eliminated first, which Baron Davis

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and Corey Feldman, and it was fun seeing them back

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 2>and I thought that, and I was like, kind of watching,

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, I don't think especially, I'm sorry, but

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Baron Davis, I just don't see him dancing in between.

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.319
<v Speaker 2>But they both did great. They it's great, Yeah, it was.

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 2>It was really fun to see that. So are again

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>three dances tonight from our finalists. The first round is

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the Judge's Choice, where a judge gets assigned to a

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 2>couple and they choose which dance they're going to do.

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 2>And our first first competitors Alex Earl and Valishi Murkowsky

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Carrie Anne asked them to do a samba and which

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>is intimidating, but she did incredible. I think it was great.

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 2>It was so good. She had these cool like, uh,

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you want to call him Tassel

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 2>or fringe, these crazy pants that she wears a couple

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>of times throughout the night, and she looked great.

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>She did the splits Alex love its pants. Now.

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I was wondering that too, because Rickey wore very similar pants. Yes,

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping they're the same. I don't know if they're

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 2>like similarly, you know, how close they're in height or whatever.

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 2>But I saw those you know, I love those pants.

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 2>I was gravitating towards those pants.

0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>You'd look great.

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh, thank you. I'm going to try and grab a

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>dupe on Amazon. Yeah. It was a great dance. Carry

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Anne loved it and which made me happy because she

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 2>chose it. She called it a refined fierceness, and I

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>wrote down, I'm like, I want Alex to win so badly.

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to win so bad and I knew it

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 2>was unlikely based on how things have been going, but

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I really think she was just has improved so much.

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>The night before. So it was rehearsal night. Did you

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>see that video of them rehearsing Val and Alex that's

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram.

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure I did because I followed him both now.

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly. So I'm a like Val is one of

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the nicest, kindest humans ever, and he's so strong and

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>professional that you don't always get to see that side

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>of him on the show. And he was the one

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>like so evolved in like spiritual and like moments where

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I would be like, oh, you know, in the makeup

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>trailer behind. He would always calm me down and always

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 1>had the right things to say, and he's just a really,

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 1>really amazing human. So watching that video it was their

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>last rehearsal and they were gonna, I was like, oh

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>my god. So I like replied, and I was like,

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 1>in val, I trust, like, I love you so much

0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and I look forward to knowing you. Alex, like this

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>partnership has broken barriers and I love it. And he

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>hearted it back and I was just like, oh, I

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>love it. I became such a fan of the season. This

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>is so cool. Anyway. Yeah, I was right with you.

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I really wanted them to win, but you knew they weren't,

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>right because two seasons ago he took home the mirror ball,

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and then last season his wife took him the mirror ball.

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And they have to play it fair drink.

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Huh Okay, yes they do. I guess it. I I

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 2>just it's fresh trading. It is because I really I

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.160
<v Speaker 2>just shove strongly believe Alex Erle was the best dancer

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 2>last night anyway, perfect ten score as deserved. Dylan Ephron

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>in between night. Sorry, it was it's Bruno's birthday. His

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 2>seventieth birthday, which is incredible.

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>That man does not look seventy no.

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 2>And he's got so much energy.

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>My godsh have you ever met him in person?

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I never have No.

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Delightful really just as delightful as you would think, great, funny, humor,

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.640
<v Speaker 1>looks great person, He's amazing.

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I've met Derek Huff in person, but I haven't met

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Carrie Anne nor Bruno.

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>They're all great.

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we love our judges. In between the dances, they

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 2>are kind of pepper in some I was calling it

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 2>member this segments where they just look back on the series,

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.679
<v Speaker 2>the season as a whole and kind of go back

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.719
<v Speaker 2>to the early early dances and some of the eliminated competitors.

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:00.360
<v Speaker 2>That was a lot of fun.

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.439
<v Speaker 1>In between those moments, that's where oh, I texted you

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>last night. But I decided to won't never make anything

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 1>easy in my life. I'd like to go for the hardest.

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>So while I had to watch the three hour finale,

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I also decided to make Homie meatload for my children,

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>which I'll tell you later how that went. But yeah,

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.919
<v Speaker 1>so I took those moments of the flashbacks to be

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>like check on my food, check on my food. Okay, anyway,

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:29.159
<v Speaker 1>that was good for me.

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was afraid for the three hours. I was

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 2>because you know, that's daunting and I'm more.

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:43.919
<v Speaker 1>Than the Titanic. Yeah, it's like a stance with the stars.

0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Like what three hours?

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And I'm glad that they had commercial breaks. But

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm visiting my mother for the holiday, and I was like,

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 2>we got to eat dinner at some point. This is

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 2>like prime dinner time, and so during the do you

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 2>remember this segments? And during the commercials lee back to

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the dinner table and eat, eat a couple of bites

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 2>of salad, and then go back to work and then

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.439
<v Speaker 2>clock back in. Uh ling something.

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Amperal quickly bring it up. I didn't realize the carrion

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 1>was a flying girl.

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I was screaming.

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 2>That comes up in Jordan child dance. That comes up later.

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 2>We will get into that. But I did not know

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>that either. And I was so excited to learn that.

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.360
<v Speaker 2>And I was also excited to teach my wife what

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.399
<v Speaker 2>the fly girls were. She did not know what a

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 2>fly girl.

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Was, and I was like, oh my god, my kids

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:34.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't either.

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 2>So much so much we need to watch the color

0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:44.840
<v Speaker 2>come on j Loo, you know, I was thinking about

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>it living color because I did a fire Marshal Bill

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 2>impression like the day before, and so like a living colors.

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Like on my brain signs.

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Efron and Danielle like got their first dance, the

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Passive Doblay, chosen by Bruno the Birthday Boy. This was very,

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:14.359
<v Speaker 2>very good. The shirt came off quick in this dance. Yes,

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.199
<v Speaker 2>he did not have a shirt on for long. He

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 2>really wants that mirror ball. Now you can see the determination.

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 2>The ballroom went nuts at this dance. Everyone is on

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 2>their feet and Alfonso is he loves saying that the

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:32.959
<v Speaker 2>ballroom loves it. I did not. I was impressed with this.

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I did not either. I didn't know where you were

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.040
<v Speaker 1>going with that. And I was like, wait this disagreed, disagree. Wow,

0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>it's felt stiff. I yeah, I waged so much progress

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 1>this season. And then that was his first dance out

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:47.919
<v Speaker 1>and I was.

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Like, yeah, so I'm you know, I thought it was

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 2>underwhelming as well. And there's a part where he like

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>shuffles Danielle under his leg that was kind of cool.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 2>That was the only part that I really loved.

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>It got better, but the first part was just and

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 1>then I in my brain was trying to be like, well,

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 1>is this on purpose because it's a possible dobl a.

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Is he supposed to be stiffed like the Mauta door

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:14.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like but then I'm like, no, I think

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:15.120
<v Speaker 1>it just.

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just the ability wasn't there, and you know,

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 2>it's it's funny on this The ability in this finale

0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:28.080
<v Speaker 2>is so high. There's so many perfect scores tonight that like,

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.679
<v Speaker 2>if you get like he got straight nines, which I

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.240
<v Speaker 2>think earlier in the season that would have been like,

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:33.959
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, I can't believe how well he did.

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Now it's oh god, that's a terrible score.

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.480
<v Speaker 1>The finale, you get nines, You're like, you suck. Yeah,

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like yeah, home man, I just got to point

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>out and it's been happening all season, but it continues.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 1>This is a show that's on ABC, Disney Plus and Hulu,

0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 1>so I'm gonna call up the Disney factor here. There

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 1>are so many sexual in New Windows made that I

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.400
<v Speaker 1>got and I love it when Bruno makes new windows.

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.199
<v Speaker 1>But I was just it's like, is this okay? He's like,

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to watch that back later. I'm like, wait,

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 1>what is happening.

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he said when he said that, and then also

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.639
<v Speaker 2>he said like, uh, wrap that up any gift and

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 2>send it to my trailer. Anytime a male dancer takes

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 2>her shirt off, Bruno gets, you know, excited. Yes, and uh.

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:25.880

<v Speaker 2>attractive young man. Uh. And it's funny after that dance.

<v Speaker 2>about here. Next up Elaine Hendrix and Alan Burson. I

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 2>had the joy of reminding my mother who Elaine Hendricks

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 2>was every time they showed her on screen holding up

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.360
<v Speaker 2>a picture of the Parent Trap poster. I just show

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 2>her this. I was like, she's from the Parent Trap.

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So it's interesting because you watch this with your mom.

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:24.360
<v Speaker 1>The finale I watched with all my kids, so it's

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.920
<v Speaker 1>different generations. But I was doing the same thing. So

0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 1>they're like, who is she? She looks familiar. I'm like, uh,

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the parent trap the original. Nope, you guys wouldn't know

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>their original. That's my generation. Lindsay Lohan. I was like,

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>she's Meredith Banks, Meredith Banks. I was like, justice for

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Meredith Banks. It's all over TikTok. Anyway, I'm showing her

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.160
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, she was in Freak Your Friday.

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know what to say to make them notice.

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And then my daughter goes, I know who she is.

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 1>She was in Beverly Hills, Chihuahua.

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 2>What a pull. Wow, Okay, great, okay wow. I didn't

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:08.440
<v Speaker 2>realize it was such a cultural touchstone to that movie.

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>It is actually.

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.959
<v Speaker 2>So uh Yeah. Elaine Hendricks is great and I'm so

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 2>excited to see her in the finals. I mean that song, yes,

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:21.639
<v Speaker 2>take my Breath Away.

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:25.400
<v Speaker 1>From Top gun I. This is the first dance. I cried.

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Me too. I got very emotional.

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>She just it was so beautiful. And have you noticed

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 1>on this journey with Dancing with the Stars she has

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 1>had what some call the Hollywood glow up?

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, I have noticed that.

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Like she just keeps getting younger and more like glamor.

0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, she looked amazing.

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree. And something I keep thinking about is like,

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 2>while the season's on this they keep saying that this

0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:00.159
<v Speaker 2>season has been breaking so many like ratings wreck or

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 2>it is voting records, just everyone's watching the season.

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:03.720
<v Speaker 1>This is they.

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Keep telling They keep reminding us that, And I don't

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>know if I'm just in I'm into Dancing with the

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Star's bubble, I'm I'm thinking about constantly. Everyone I work

0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 2>with is talking about it constantly. But it seems in

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the past the viewership has skewed more older. I think, yeah,

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 2>it's been for older people that watch it, and this

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 2>season a lot of younger people are watching for the

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Alex Earls and such and and I think Ezra's really

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 2>bringing in a lot of young people too. So I'm

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 2>what I'm curious about for Elaine specifically, is like, is

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Dancing with the Stars. I don't want to say a

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.479
<v Speaker 2>launching point because these people are already stars, but like,

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>is it going to reinvigorate certain certain people's careers? Like

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 2>are we going to see more of Elaine Hendricks around

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:53.120
<v Speaker 2>after this?

0:25:53.680 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so historically at least this is what is what

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I was told every season. I always said I was

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:04.159
<v Speaker 1>offered Dance with the Stars, it was too nervous to

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 1>do it, didn't do it, And when I would talk

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:09.320
<v Speaker 1>to people that were on it, I'd be like, they'd

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:14.679
<v Speaker 1>be like, it literally restores your career. Like not that

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 1>people aren't relevant, but like people, every single person that

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 1>does Dancing with the Stars goes on to do something

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 1>else unexpected great, like a real, real career climb. Except

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>when I did it, what happened that is such My

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Life's like Tori's life, like, Oh, I'm gonna finally do

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>this climb the mountain and it's like hello, hello, knocking

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 1>on doors, like all the lights are off. Nothing happened

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 1>after that, but we're doing misstepping. So this there's something

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>but yeah something, Yes, everyone says it does something for

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody's career. So Elaine Hendricks will something huge will come.

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 2>For her out office, I hope because she's it was

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>so fun to watch. I really enjoyed watching her story too.

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:02.719
<v Speaker 2>She was so great, and you know, I'm so appreciative

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 2>of her doing this podcast and hanging out with you too.

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to see her in person.

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.560
<v Speaker 2>She's great and This dance was great too. She had

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:15.919
<v Speaker 2>a Derek huff chose a rumba to take my breathway

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:19.120
<v Speaker 2>as we as we mentioned from Taiga, and she did

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:21.880
<v Speaker 2>this crazy twirl. I thought she had great control over

0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 2>her hands. I'm watching the hands a line. She looked

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.159
<v Speaker 2>very good, a very gentle and tender dance, which I

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 2>was so emotional.

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 1>And you think you show there like you wanted them

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to kiss them too, like you've done in the past.

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Of course, I don't want everybody to kiss that's a dream.

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Watch jump in ahead just a bit. But later in

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 2>the near the end, they're kind of promoting the tour,

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:46.439
<v Speaker 2>the Dancing with the Stars tour, which they don't let

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 2>us forget about. But we got to see dances from

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 2>all the couples on the pro couples and it was

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 2>like Val and Jenna, Pasha and Daniella, and there was

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.679
<v Speaker 2>one other. Oh I actually I don't know if there

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:01.199
<v Speaker 2>are a couple or not.

0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:02.680

<v Speaker 1>There's three real life couples on the show because with

0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the pros.

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was so fun to watch because then like

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:23.719
<v Speaker 2>they were getting really close and like they each kissed

0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a couple of times, which I thought was so fun

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 2>because I'm like, oh, they're they're married, they can kiss

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:32.240
<v Speaker 2>on the dance floor, which satisfied the cardinal urges I

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 2>felt watching there them throughout the season.

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:36.959

<v Speaker 2>Sasha Farberry, Yeah, yeah, he's been around. He's not competing

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 2>this season. Obviously he's there.

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 1>He's one of my favorites, such a great guy. Did

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you know that Emma and Sasha used to be together

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:48.960

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 1>rumors on Reddit that Alan and Emma are together, and

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm with them every day. No, no,

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>they're just friends. Well, wow, it was real.

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I love Alan Bercy. He seems so sweet.

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>He's so sweet.

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 2>He's so he just seems so like gentle and caring

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 2>for Elaine, who's just been through it like this season,

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:33.280
<v Speaker 2>like that crazy injury and you know, and she's the

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 2>oldest competitor in the finals. But how lucky she was

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.080
<v Speaker 2>to have a partner like that. He's just so he

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>seems so great.

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>They're really talented of matching the pros with their celebs

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 1>on not just emotional needs as well. They're very skilled

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>in knowing that, and you can't truly know it until

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 1>they start their partnership. But kudos to Dancing with the

0:29:59.000 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Stars producers.

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 2>It's so and you know, just to go to go

0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 2>back to Alex, my my fam hero for a second.

0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:09.160
<v Speaker 2>She pointed out in I can't remember if it was

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 2>in the first Dancer and that's or later on, but

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 2>she pointed out that she and Val were the only

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 2>partners that didn't hug on the first day she came

0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 2>in and they shook hands. And I heard from another

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 2>from someone else who was there that when everyone met

0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Alex for the first time, she like, everyone's hugging each other.

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, everyone knows you're going to be in this

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:33.160
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. Like so, I think everyone's like

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 2>really familiar right away, and everyone wants to hug each other.

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Alex shook everybody's hands. She didn't hug anybody, And this

0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 2>person said they thought that was interesting. And now she

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:47.000
<v Speaker 2>and Val are like super close, and there were rumors

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 2>that she and Val didn't get along. That was an

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 2>early rumor. Was it like they Yeah, I saw it

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 2>online that they they didn't like each other.

0:30:54.560 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>But they're very, very tough love on his celebrity. He's

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>like he he's not easy, but that's why he gets

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 1>so much out of them exactly, but he's also so kind. Hmmm,

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think that's true or they just made that

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>up online?

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, that's just that's what I heard. That's

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 2>what I heard. I mean, there's got to be something,

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe they just made it up. So back

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:22.680
<v Speaker 2>to Elaine and Allen. Derek loved their dance and I

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 2>was thinking about this judge's choice one. I was like,

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 2>the judge who picks the dance, it kind of works

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 2>them a little bit too, you know, like they're just

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:32.800
<v Speaker 2>going to automatically love it. Is that that's something I

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:35.880
<v Speaker 2>can guarantee they have I improven wrong, I improven wrong

0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 2>just a few dances later, right, yes, yes, we will

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 2>get into yeah. But I was like, oh, well, the

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 2>when with this round, we can at least guarantee one

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.120
<v Speaker 2>of the Judges is going to be like obsessed with

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing. Derek loved this dance. They got a

0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 2>perfect ten, they got tens across the board and it

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 2>was just it was a great It was a great dance.

0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 2>It was so fun come back with a little Lady

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Gaga dance. We got to see Scott Hoyning, he's a

0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 2>huge Lady Gaga fan, dance to that. So that was

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 2>really fun to see. And now we're moving on to

0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>our would be champion, Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson. Derek

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>has chosen a quick step for them to are You

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Gonna Be My Girl? By Jet and this so they

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 2>should point out that Robert has a rib injury, and

0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I was like, are they setting us up for him

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:37.719
<v Speaker 2>to be not very good but like kind of give

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 2>him a pass because he's injured, or is it like,

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 2>oh wow, look, how look how good he was. He's

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 2>in he's injured too, And I was like, this is

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:48.120
<v Speaker 2>like kind of tainting how we're looking at this. But

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I said out loud, I was like, he could not

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 2>dance the entire show and he's still gonna win. This

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 2>is how that's everyone's made up their minds already.

0:32:57.600 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I have many thoughts about this first dance with Robert

0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and Whitney. I came away from this dance very upset, Wow,

0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:15.320
<v Speaker 1>very upset because I felt which didn't reflect except in

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Carrie Anne, but everyone else gave them ten. So I

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.480
<v Speaker 1>was like, did I see this wrong? I felt like

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 1>he was friggin dragging his progue across the dance floor. Yes,

0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, Whinny Carson, she's a wife, she's a mom,

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 1>She's incredible dancer, so skilled, so dedicated, and it pissed

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 1>me off on her behalf because I was like, what's

0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 1>he proving here? Like it almost made her look like

0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't in control, And there were moments where I

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 1>could see on her face. I was just like, oh

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, what are you doing? I thought she was

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna have an injury afterwards because he was being so

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 1>forceful with her, and I got pissed me off on

0:33:58.200 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 1>her behalf.

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, I I I agree, uh, And I was watching

0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:06.760
<v Speaker 2>this and I'm like, you would not know he was

0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:09.919
<v Speaker 2>injured based on this dance. I didn't think. I'm I'm

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 2>not saying he wasn't injured, but I'm just saying maybe

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 2>it's overblown a little bit because he was being very forceful.

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I had I had the same thought. Uh, the doctor

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:22.280
<v Speaker 2>in the in the package says the choreo the choreo

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:26.839
<v Speaker 2>had to be creatively altered to not aggravate his injury more.

0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:28.839
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if that meant now he gets

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 2>to drag around like a rag doll or whatever.

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Overcompment saying, I don't know what happened because they're usually

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:38.719
<v Speaker 1>on point, but it's like it's it felt like he

0:34:38.880 --> 0:34:42.240
<v Speaker 1>was just going forward and like not listening to his partner.

0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It was odd. Didn't love that.

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Jez and Uh, Bruno and Derek gave him tense Darren

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 2>held him the quick step King, and he had a

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 2>part time getting that that out. But then carry Anne

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 2>had the we didn't have the butt heard around the world.

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I noticed that too, because he wanted to say Queen yes,

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and he couldn't get the word. And then he was

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 1>like what's happening and he's like King, and I was like,

0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:09.759
<v Speaker 1>oh my god.

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:13.080
<v Speaker 2>He stood up and kind of played off like he

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:17.080
<v Speaker 2>was like being overcome with emotion like Bruno exactly yeah,

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and then Carrie Anne's like it was okay, but and

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.600
<v Speaker 2>then everyone starts booing. She didn't even get I didn't

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 2>hear her critique. I didn't hear what she didn't like

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:29.799
<v Speaker 2>about it because everyone started booing, and then she had

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to like, I was afraid for her safety, honestly, like

0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:35.880
<v Speaker 2>everyone was so mad that she wasn't just giving it

0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:39.719
<v Speaker 2>a ten. And she said there was a mistake, but

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 2>she would didn't couldn't vocalize what the mistake was, so

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:44.320
<v Speaker 2>she gave it a nine for that unknown mistake.

0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:46.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll have to find that online. I'm sure it's somewhere online.

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:51.320
<v Speaker 2>What she said, it's something. And then we go to

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:53.480
<v Speaker 2>a commercial break and come back with we have to

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 2>see our beloved Daniel fishal Andy Richter, and Whitney Levitt dancing.

0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.719
<v Speaker 2>We were calling them the fan favorite crew. Yeah, the

0:36:00.120 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the Yeah, everyone loves all three of them. It was

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 2>fun to see them dancing again in that like kind

0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 2>of tower thing. That was fun. Jordan, Chiles and Ezra's

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 2>as so our next Carrie Anne gave them a passive

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 2>doblay to breaking dishes by Rihanna, and that's when we

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:22.280
<v Speaker 2>learned that carry girl. Yes, that's when I learned Jordan

0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:25.800
<v Speaker 2>was very excited about that, as was everybody. That was

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.439
<v Speaker 2>really fun and I realized I don't know much about

0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 2>carry Ane's background, so I would like to research more

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:35.479
<v Speaker 2>because I'm sure there's more surprising things. Yes, I thought

0:36:35.520 --> 0:36:38.080
<v Speaker 2>that Jordan was like dragging a bit on this. I

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 2>thought she was kind of behind Ezra and it was good,

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:44.960
<v Speaker 2>but I.

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Think it was I didn't love it either, and that's

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:52.880
<v Speaker 1>when I was like, oh, they're not going to be

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:56.719
<v Speaker 1>in like being one. It's the finals. There was no

0:36:56.800 --> 0:37:02.239
<v Speaker 1>one eliminated, like it's I know want like, well no,

0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:04.800
<v Speaker 1>because we got to see them all dance. I feel

0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 1>like they used to do it where like in the

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:11.759
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the show, three would go home. Do I

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 1>say this every like around home?

0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, like they would eliminate people throughout the episode

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and then yeah.

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:19.879
<v Speaker 1>But I just can't do that because they've all worked

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:24.279
<v Speaker 1>so hard, these three dances, but be a little more exciting, and.

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 2>We kind of get because you know, when they do

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the eliminations, it would just be like a random group

0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 2>and then the two lowest scoring people and so we

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:40.439
<v Speaker 2>kind of get a version of eliminations when they because

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.920
<v Speaker 2>they tell us like who got fifth, who got fourth right, and.

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not the same fact.

0:37:46.719 --> 0:37:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, no, it's exactly exactly. Yeah. So Carrie

0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Anne had a problem with this one too, and everyone

0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:56.919
<v Speaker 2>started booing again, and I was like, oh, my gosh,

0:37:57.000 --> 0:37:58.840
<v Speaker 2>she can be like attacked by an angry mob, like

0:37:59.000 --> 0:37:59.800
<v Speaker 2>just for having it.

0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:04.879
<v Speaker 1>And then and then wait, this is the one where

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 1>someone said something in the audience.

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Correct someone someone yells is something at her and she's like,

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:09.320
<v Speaker 2>what'd you say to me?

0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:12.160
<v Speaker 1>She goes, what did you say? And like she stood

0:38:12.280 --> 0:38:13.880
<v Speaker 1>up like this, and I could have sworn, like her

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 1>middle finger was kind of like pointed out, and I

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:19.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my god, it's going to go down.

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Didn't you kind of wanted I didn't want her to

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:23.600
<v Speaker 1>get hurt. But I love this she.

0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Stood up, yes, because we've talked about this before. She

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:30.719
<v Speaker 2>is a She is a lone woman up there with

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 2>two guys, and she often has something unpopular to say,

0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:39.680
<v Speaker 2>and I just feel like she's in a really tough position. Uh,

0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:43.239
<v Speaker 2>and someone came at her. It's crazy. The notes in

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:46.080
<v Speaker 2>here say someone allegedly yelled the F word or shut

0:38:46.200 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 2>up be to her, and which sucks, like let her

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:55.360
<v Speaker 2>do her damn job. My God. I know it's not popular, but.

0:38:56.840 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I do have to say she has stepped up

0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to take on this role. That's a bit different than

0:39:04.239 --> 0:39:08.080
<v Speaker 1>how she's been in the past. She's critiquing, people are

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 1>booing her. She has accepted it, come into it. She

0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:16.880
<v Speaker 1>used to be like, oh, Carrie Inne, she's the female,

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 1>we love her. She's in her villain era. So it's like, oh,

0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:23.799
<v Speaker 1>she's accepted this role. And do you think now they're

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:26.200
<v Speaker 1>pushing it further and encouraging her.

0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Possibly because that's what gets people talking.

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so did someone actually shout something or was that all?

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's interesting. Interesting. Next up we have the Instant Dance,

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 2>which is so exciting. But before we talk about that,

0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:46.320
<v Speaker 2>we got to take a quick break. Okay, we'll be

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:56.480
<v Speaker 2>right back with more misstepping. Hey, it's miss Stepping. My

0:39:56.560 --> 0:39:59.000
<v Speaker 2>name's Easton Allen. I'm hanging out with Tory Spelling, the

0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 2>host of this show. She has allowed me into her

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.759
<v Speaker 2>home to talk about the finale of Dancing with the

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Stars Season thirty four. The Instant Dance is this next round.

0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:10.920
<v Speaker 2>They find out the dance and the song five minutes

0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 2>before they have to do it. My god, this is insane.

0:40:14.520 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't believe this round, like that this was the

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:17.800
<v Speaker 2>thing you have to do.

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:21.960
<v Speaker 1>So my kids are like, wait, wait, wait is this real?

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Is it?

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I don't know, actually, because we

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:33.360
<v Speaker 1>don't get to see that part when all the we

0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:38.640
<v Speaker 1>come back the finalists were hers separately, so oh man,

0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and I was so focused on that, like dress rehearsal

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:46.640
<v Speaker 1>that day and everything. I don't know, but like there

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:50.439
<v Speaker 1>must be some conversation like if this is the app

0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that you see, you pick this, like do you think anything?

0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, because they show them preparing in the

0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 2>packages for anything, like they they I think they have.

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 2>They make them prepare for all every dance and then

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 2>they pull the one that they end up choosing and

0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:11.080
<v Speaker 2>something that like I don't know if it was cooked

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:12.759
<v Speaker 2>or not, but I just enjoyed. Was when we got

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:16.440
<v Speaker 2>to Dylan and Danielle. There was a part right it

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 2>was after they'd gotten changed, but before they started they

0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:21.719
<v Speaker 2>come back from breaking. You could see Danielle on her

0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:25.200
<v Speaker 2>iPhone listening to the song and like kind of doing things,

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:29.000
<v Speaker 2>doing moves, and I was really I thought that was

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:31.320
<v Speaker 2>cool because I'm like, oh God, like they really have

0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:32.879
<v Speaker 2>to come up with this on the spot, Like that's

0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:35.800
<v Speaker 2>what if it's a song that I don't know like it?

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:40.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think that happened with like when they

0:41:40.880 --> 0:41:44.279
<v Speaker 2>got you know, well, we have to get into Alex

0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:47.280
<v Speaker 2>and Val. But Dylan and Danielle got Ordinary by Alex Warren,

0:41:47.280 --> 0:41:49.080
<v Speaker 2>which is the number one song in the country and

0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:51.640
<v Speaker 2>was for a very long time. I don't think they

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:56.879
<v Speaker 2>knew that song though, And and like Robert says later

0:41:56.960 --> 0:42:01.360
<v Speaker 2>on that he uses this, he never figured out the counting,

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 2>which I don't know if that's true or not, but

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:06.520
<v Speaker 2>he's like, I never I never figured out the counting.

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I had to use a song for the I used

0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 2>the music and I don't know this song? So how

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 2>are we going to do this? And like it's it's

0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 2>an incredible challenge.

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I I.

0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to do it, but I think, well,

0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 2>so first up is Alex in Val. Yes, they selected

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Blindfolded a chachat to Where Is My Husband? By Ray,

0:42:31.000 --> 0:42:35.640
<v Speaker 2>which is a very fun song and uh, actually you

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:38.280
<v Speaker 2>know what they pointed. People were pointing this out online

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:41.560
<v Speaker 2>that the song was interesting because I don't think Alex's

0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:46.200
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend has been to a taping the whole.

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the first one.

0:42:48.360 --> 0:42:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think No, I don't think he was there.

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:51.520
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't he was in the package.

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:55.080
<v Speaker 2>She was in the package. I know she had a boyfriend.

0:42:55.920 --> 0:42:58.560
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean? You know I came into this

0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:01.920
<v Speaker 1>not knowing who she was. But then, thank you Instagram,

0:43:02.000 --> 0:43:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I went down the rabbit hole dancing with the stars.

0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I love her now, but.

0:43:05.719 --> 0:43:09.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, And he's a he's an NFL player,

0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:12.239
<v Speaker 2>which is the season is going on, so I you know,

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I understand if you can't take time off to come

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 2>to LA to watch her dance. But everyone was pointing

0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:21.360
<v Speaker 2>out like, oh, it's interesting she danced to where is

0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:23.759
<v Speaker 2>my husband when her husband or her boyfriend has been

0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:25.400
<v Speaker 2>absent for the entire season.

0:43:26.320 --> 0:43:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Interesting? And this is her second athlete that she's been with.

0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:34.279
<v Speaker 1>How does that happen in life? I've never dated an

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:38.560
<v Speaker 1>athlete or a musician? Really, no, Like, how do you like,

0:43:38.640 --> 0:43:41.440
<v Speaker 1>how does that happen? Like it's not like she's single,

0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:45.080
<v Speaker 1>like singling out like I want to date a famous athlete?

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Or is that like on her that on her manifestation

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:50.719
<v Speaker 1>mood board? Who knows? Yeah?

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:52.239
<v Speaker 2>Does she hang out with athletes? Like?

0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:52.640
<v Speaker 1>How?

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:56.239
<v Speaker 2>I wonder how that works anyway, we got to see

0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 2>her fringe parts came back on yep, an incredible dance,

0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:03.000
<v Speaker 2>perfect score. I loved it. I was like, oh, she

0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:06.000
<v Speaker 2>she I'm again. I'm like, I want her to win

0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:08.480
<v Speaker 2>this so badly. I think she has a chance to win.

0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:11.880
<v Speaker 2>But if I had to put money down like everyone

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:13.919
<v Speaker 2>else in Vegas did, it would be on Robert, which

0:44:14.360 --> 0:44:18.719
<v Speaker 2>said uh. Then we move on to Dylan and Daniella,

0:44:19.280 --> 0:44:22.240
<v Speaker 2>who chose a Fox Trot to Ordinary by Alex Warren.

0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 2>And something I enjoy is when they go up to

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:29.880
<v Speaker 2>like get their assignments, they're both wearing robes and you know,

0:44:30.000 --> 0:44:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I liked to think. I was watching

0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:33.959
<v Speaker 2>like I wonder, very I won't have to just naked

0:44:34.080 --> 0:44:36.520
<v Speaker 2>under there. This is kind of fun. It was fun

0:44:36.560 --> 0:44:38.480
<v Speaker 2>to see. It looked like they were coming out of

0:44:38.520 --> 0:44:39.440
<v Speaker 2>like a spa or something.

0:44:39.440 --> 0:44:42.799
<v Speaker 1>It was fun and we're thinking that what.

0:44:43.000 --> 0:44:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Is going on under the robe? I want to know,

0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:45.600
<v Speaker 2>un wrapped.

0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So that is the robe they give every contestant for

0:44:50.200 --> 0:44:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the season. Each season they have a different rope, so

0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:56.640
<v Speaker 1>like I have mine up here. Up here, that's so

0:44:57.040 --> 0:44:59.719
<v Speaker 1>fun upstairs, my Dancing with the Stars, and it has

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:04.480
<v Speaker 1>like you're name on and whatever, and yeah, so you

0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:05.360
<v Speaker 1>have that robe.

0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:08.800
<v Speaker 2>When you did Mass Singer, they did, they give you

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:12.640
<v Speaker 2>a hoodie that says, don't talk to me. I I

0:45:12.800 --> 0:45:17.000
<v Speaker 2>thought that was so cool and I Jana Kramer, who

0:45:17.120 --> 0:45:20.719
<v Speaker 2>did one of the latest seasons, posted about it and

0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I told her how much I loved that hoodie and

0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was so cool, and she gave me

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:27.880
<v Speaker 2>her hoodie. I have my mask singer hoodie and now

0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:29.120
<v Speaker 2>and now I got to get my hands on one

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:30.399
<v Speaker 2>of these robes. That's my next goal.

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:32.279
<v Speaker 1>You want my robe.

0:45:33.480 --> 0:45:34.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to take a robe from your toy

0:45:34.960 --> 0:45:40.359
<v Speaker 2>that belongs to the Smithsonian. You kidding me? Oh my god,

0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:42.520
<v Speaker 2>don't Felderman get his robe.

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:43.480
<v Speaker 1>He'll give it to you.

0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Uh so, Yeah. Next up Dylan and Daniella they fox Trot.

0:45:49.280 --> 0:45:49.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a tough one.

0:45:50.800 --> 0:45:55.320
<v Speaker 2>It's hard and five minutes to prepare. You know. The

0:45:55.400 --> 0:46:00.080
<v Speaker 2>whole season they keep saying Daniella is a ferrari. You know,

0:46:00.160 --> 0:46:02.200
<v Speaker 2>you got to be the leading man, but it's so

0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:05.399
<v Speaker 2>hard because she's such a powerful dancer. And I could

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:07.600
<v Speaker 2>see that come right back with this one. I felt

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:11.759
<v Speaker 2>like Daniella was leading this. He was carrying it. I

0:46:12.080 --> 0:46:14.200
<v Speaker 2>thought that it was I thought that it was good,

0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:16.480
<v Speaker 2>but also I'm like, oh, he's not He's just doing

0:46:16.560 --> 0:46:18.719
<v Speaker 2>what she's telling him to do. The judges loved it.

0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:22.200
<v Speaker 2>They went crazy. I believe, you know, I gotta look ahead.

0:46:22.239 --> 0:46:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I think this is the beginning of where every single

0:46:24.840 --> 0:46:27.000
<v Speaker 2>dance is a perfect ten from here on out. Oh

0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:29.960
<v Speaker 2>there's one. There is one dance that is not a

0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:31.960
<v Speaker 2>perfect ten for the rest of the show, one or two.

0:46:32.080 --> 0:46:36.759
<v Speaker 1>But I mean this instant dance. You really, this is

0:46:36.880 --> 0:46:42.600
<v Speaker 1>where the celebrity has to completely just trust their pro yes,

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.239
<v Speaker 1>because they are either saying it out loud to them,

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:50.919
<v Speaker 1>reminding them like you know, like foxtrot, like this move

0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that move, squeezing their hand, pushing, guiding them. Obviously, it's

0:46:56.680 --> 0:47:01.160
<v Speaker 1>easier for the male professionals to guide their female The

0:47:01.280 --> 0:47:04.600
<v Speaker 1>females are with men and they have to like where

0:47:04.719 --> 0:47:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Daniella and yeah, she is a powerhouse, so no doubt.

0:47:07.680 --> 0:47:10.880
<v Speaker 1>She was just like, just trust me and let's go.

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:14.759
<v Speaker 2>After their dan After Dylan and Danielle, I was like,

0:47:14.880 --> 0:47:17.719
<v Speaker 2>oh my, I wrote down, like, you know, I was

0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:20.800
<v Speaker 2>convinced it was gonna be Robert and now I'm not

0:47:21.040 --> 0:47:23.080
<v Speaker 2>so sure. I wonder. I'm like, there's a chance because

0:47:23.160 --> 0:47:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Robert's first dance was not that great, and I was like,

0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:28.359
<v Speaker 2>you know what, maybe I'm wrong. Like I could see

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Dylan waiting this thing now like everyone's loving him tonight.

0:47:32.400 --> 0:47:34.879
<v Speaker 1>This is where I thought the same thing talk about

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:40.319
<v Speaker 1>this wild ride. I was like, oh wait, he could

0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:40.640
<v Speaker 1>take it.

0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:43.239
<v Speaker 2>It's all going to come down to the fan votes,

0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:48.480
<v Speaker 2>but everyone's just getting perfect scorests up. Elena and Allen

0:47:48.640 --> 0:47:52.640
<v Speaker 2>dancing a quick step to you Can't Hurry Love. She

0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:58.920
<v Speaker 2>she missed a couple moves and it wasn't perfect. But

0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:01.320
<v Speaker 2>something I liked about the dance that is I was

0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 2>watching her face and you can tell she's having so

0:48:03.800 --> 0:48:05.640
<v Speaker 2>much fun. Yeah, she was having so much fun, which

0:48:05.680 --> 0:48:06.320
<v Speaker 2>just made me happy.

0:48:06.640 --> 0:48:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:48:07.520 --> 0:48:09.880
<v Speaker 2>And then I'm sorry I got so fixated on this,

0:48:10.000 --> 0:48:13.320
<v Speaker 2>but after their dance, I heard Alfonso say head on

0:48:13.440 --> 0:48:15.640
<v Speaker 2>up to the AT and T Skybox, and I was like,

0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:17.840
<v Speaker 2>has this thing been sponsored the whole time? And I

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:21.080
<v Speaker 2>just am now noticing or is this just for the finale?

0:48:21.160 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 2>And it was sponsored by AT and T at least

0:48:23.320 --> 0:48:26.080
<v Speaker 2>last night, so you know, we got to see the

0:48:26.120 --> 0:48:28.879
<v Speaker 2>AT and T Skybox. He ain't called that every time,

0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 2>but I did I know that. So they did not

0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:34.879
<v Speaker 2>get a perfect score. They got straight nines for this one.

0:48:35.120 --> 0:48:37.520
<v Speaker 2>And you know, she's having fun. That's what this is about.

0:48:37.760 --> 0:48:41.000
<v Speaker 2>We're having fun and we're learning how to dance. Robert

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Irwin and Whitney Carson at chaw Chaw to Cake by

0:48:43.840 --> 0:48:47.520
<v Speaker 2>the Ocean by d Nce. I he.

0:48:50.480 --> 0:48:55.080
<v Speaker 1>What this is? Where I thought? I was like, oh,

0:48:56.160 --> 0:48:58.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe we all have this wrong and he can't dance

0:48:58.920 --> 0:49:02.800
<v Speaker 1>unless he's perfect trained for each I thought he he

0:49:02.920 --> 0:49:05.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't do great in this like he. I thought so too, okay,

0:49:06.320 --> 0:49:07.360
<v Speaker 1>but they got sons.

0:49:08.280 --> 0:49:10.080
<v Speaker 2>They did, and that's when I was like, what the

0:49:10.120 --> 0:49:12.680
<v Speaker 2>hell is going on here? Because I wrote down like

0:49:13.719 --> 0:49:15.600
<v Speaker 2>he says in the package, like I don't have I

0:49:15.640 --> 0:49:17.040
<v Speaker 2>don't know how the counts work. I have to use

0:49:17.040 --> 0:49:18.399
<v Speaker 2>the music and I don't know the song.

0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:22.120
<v Speaker 2>And watching the dance I can see he was like

0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:25.440
<v Speaker 2>visually checking in with Whitney so much like is this right?

0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Is this right?

0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:28.799
<v Speaker 1>And like, oh, you know how he's checking in After

0:49:28.880 --> 0:49:33.719
<v Speaker 1>he dragged her across the dance floor, I mean now

0:49:34.719 --> 0:49:37.360
<v Speaker 1>and now it was like reversal of like power. He

0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:39.919
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh help me, I got nothing here.

0:49:40.920 --> 0:49:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's but you know, obviously I was wrong because.

0:49:45.280 --> 0:49:48.680
<v Speaker 1>They I was wrong too. They got all tens, they.

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Got straight tense and you know, I don't want to

0:49:49.800 --> 0:49:51.640
<v Speaker 2>rag on Julian have too much, but I did find

0:49:51.640 --> 0:49:53.600
<v Speaker 2>it very funny that Confetti went in front of the

0:49:53.640 --> 0:49:55.560
<v Speaker 2>teleprompter and she did not know what to do and

0:49:55.920 --> 0:49:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I felt bad for her, but she I missed that.

0:49:58.840 --> 0:50:00.520
<v Speaker 2>There's a part where when she's talking to them in

0:50:00.520 --> 0:50:04.360
<v Speaker 2>the skybox after they get their perfect tens, they shoot

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the confetti cannons yet again and she's like, there's a

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:12.480
<v Speaker 2>glittering front of the prompter. Well I missed that, and

0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what was the prompter saying back to you? Sorry?

0:50:16.719 --> 0:50:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was funny, And next up.

0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Into a pan at that point, yes, go on, yeah exactly. Uh.

0:50:25.239 --> 0:50:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Jordan and Ezra our final instant dance. They chose a

0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:32.560
<v Speaker 2>tango to I Like It by a Lesso and Nate Smith,

0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:38.000
<v Speaker 2>and uh, it was good. I was excited to see Ezrad.

0:50:38.400 --> 0:50:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm just excited to see Ezra in the finals. You know,

0:50:42.400 --> 0:50:44.560
<v Speaker 2>he seems so pumped on this. That was just fun

0:50:44.640 --> 0:50:45.759
<v Speaker 2>to see him do every part of this.

0:50:45.920 --> 0:50:46.759
<v Speaker 1>So that was cool.

0:50:47.000 --> 0:50:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Great, they were hoping for a tango. They got the tango.

0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:50.799
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:50:51.360 --> 0:50:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Really good footwork, cool kick move. They're great, much better

0:50:55.160 --> 0:50:57.680
<v Speaker 2>than the first dance. I thought they got perfect tens

0:50:58.680 --> 0:51:00.480
<v Speaker 2>uh and then the final round.

0:51:00.800 --> 0:51:04.080
<v Speaker 1>At this point in this three hour show, I'm like,

0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:07.440
<v Speaker 1>just get to the freestyle. This is all freestyle.

0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I can do.

0:51:08.880 --> 0:51:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Without the instant dance. If they want to cut an

0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:14.440
<v Speaker 1>hour out, I'm just saying, next year, do you know agree?

0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Do you know? I like I liked the instant dance

0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:22.479
<v Speaker 2>because I thought, I don't know how you know, real

0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:24.560
<v Speaker 2>it was, but I liked the idea that like, oh,

0:51:24.640 --> 0:51:27.320
<v Speaker 2>let's see how well they can do this with no prep,

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Like do they really have it? Or is this just

0:51:29.880 --> 0:51:33.279
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know, I kind of liked. I kind

0:51:33.280 --> 0:51:38.359
<v Speaker 2>of like the instant dance. I think if we make

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:40.279
<v Speaker 2>it shorter, I'm sorry, but I think we just get

0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I want less uh less little packages and to remember

0:51:44.680 --> 0:51:48.759
<v Speaker 2>the you know. But it was also fun to see

0:51:48.800 --> 0:51:52.959
<v Speaker 2>everybody from from earlier in the season the freestyle again.

0:51:53.040 --> 0:51:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Everyone's been looking forward to this all season. This is

0:51:55.520 --> 0:51:58.319
<v Speaker 2>the big one. This is so it seems like there's

0:51:58.360 --> 0:51:59.600
<v Speaker 2>no limits to this dance.

0:51:59.600 --> 0:52:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, This is where you see crazy moves whatever, like

0:52:03.080 --> 0:52:05.759
<v Speaker 1>the celebs they're are best suited for. This is the

0:52:05.840 --> 0:52:08.160
<v Speaker 1>dance they're pro just jams at pack with.

0:52:08.960 --> 0:52:12.600
<v Speaker 2>There's like crazy props and costumes and backup dancer. It

0:52:12.719 --> 0:52:13.360
<v Speaker 2>was so cool.

0:52:13.440 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is where my kids, because they don't

0:52:16.480 --> 0:52:19.640
<v Speaker 1>watch this consistently, they watched you know me on the

0:52:20.040 --> 0:52:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you know where I got Illuminade and they came to

0:52:22.000 --> 0:52:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the finale, but they were just like, why are there

0:52:25.000 --> 0:52:28.200
<v Speaker 1>so many backup dancers? I'm so distracted. I'm like, oh,

0:52:28.200 --> 0:52:29.839
<v Speaker 1>because this is the big one. I was like, you're

0:52:29.840 --> 0:52:32.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna see props, You're gonna this is they pull out

0:52:32.360 --> 0:52:34.200
<v Speaker 1>all the big guns here and they were like, we

0:52:34.320 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 1>just want to see her dance.

0:52:37.040 --> 0:52:39.680
<v Speaker 2>I love it. I think it's so cool. I got excite,

0:52:39.800 --> 0:52:42.560
<v Speaker 2>so fun. I mean yeah, this first one from Alex

0:52:42.640 --> 0:52:44.680
<v Speaker 2>and Val they danced to. It was a mix of

0:52:44.800 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Man Eater by Nelly Fortado and sports Car by Tate McCray.

0:52:47.680 --> 0:52:49.680
<v Speaker 2>And this was a music video. I mean this was

0:52:49.800 --> 0:52:53.400
<v Speaker 2>like she jumped off a seal structure. She had the

0:52:53.520 --> 0:52:54.400
<v Speaker 2>crazy outfit.

0:52:55.000 --> 0:52:59.440
<v Speaker 1>This was the matrix moves with that yes, with that costume,

0:52:59.640 --> 0:53:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, it was a chills I was crying.

0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I was shouting. I was like those boots. I was

0:53:08.520 --> 0:53:11.000
<v Speaker 1>like this, she is it? Sorry?

0:53:12.360 --> 0:53:15.160
<v Speaker 2>It was yeah, so bad.

0:53:15.480 --> 0:53:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Even though I knew you wanted it from the beginning

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:18.960
<v Speaker 1>with her, but like this, at this moment when I

0:53:19.000 --> 0:53:21.680
<v Speaker 1>saw it, I was like they must win.

0:53:23.080 --> 0:53:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And at that point I was like, oh god,

0:53:25.120 --> 0:53:28.279
<v Speaker 2>this is I mean, she's had perfet Every dance has

0:53:28.280 --> 0:53:32.200
<v Speaker 2>been a perfect ten, so she's got a I want

0:53:32.200 --> 0:53:36.239
<v Speaker 2>her to wait so bad. But yeah, oh well it was.

0:53:36.560 --> 0:53:38.279
<v Speaker 2>It was so great. I can't wait. I want to

0:53:38.280 --> 0:53:40.399
<v Speaker 2>watch this dance again. It was just so I loved

0:53:40.440 --> 0:53:45.320
<v Speaker 2>it so much. Dylan and Daniella dancing to Something in

0:53:45.360 --> 0:53:49.040
<v Speaker 2>the Heavens by Lewis Capaldi. He did this really cool

0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:52.640
<v Speaker 2>handstand that I thought was cool. He picked up so

0:53:52.840 --> 0:53:55.799
<v Speaker 2>at one point he like throws Danielle in the air

0:53:55.800 --> 0:53:59.319
<v Speaker 2>and then kind of catches her. And then right after

0:53:59.440 --> 0:54:02.040
<v Speaker 2>that she does this like running jump at him from

0:54:02.080 --> 0:54:03.640
<v Speaker 2>the stage and carter again.

0:54:03.719 --> 0:54:05.680
<v Speaker 1>You saw the package, right, yeah?

0:54:05.800 --> 0:54:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well yeah, And also I would be afraid if

0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:13.759
<v Speaker 2>I were Dylan because she's already broken his nose once.

0:54:13.920 --> 0:54:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Is this gonna happen again? There's so much like velocity

0:54:16.920 --> 0:54:21.279
<v Speaker 2>coming at him from Daniella. Uh, this was a great

0:54:21.360 --> 0:54:23.759
<v Speaker 2>dance too. They they they have water at the end

0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:25.480
<v Speaker 2>of it. It was it was cool. I loved it

0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:27.760
<v Speaker 2>this episode.

0:54:28.360 --> 0:54:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I had just watched Alex and Baal and I'm like,

0:54:30.960 --> 0:54:34.440
<v Speaker 1>they must win, And then I watched the freestyle with

0:54:34.560 --> 0:54:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Tone and Daniella crying championing him, and I'm like, okay,

0:54:41.080 --> 0:54:44.239
<v Speaker 1>here I go on this ride. He must win now

0:54:45.280 --> 0:54:49.920
<v Speaker 1>on behalf of everyone, like he is our champion.

0:54:50.160 --> 0:54:56.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, champion, Yes, yeah, what a I mean,

0:54:57.040 --> 0:54:58.880
<v Speaker 2>you said it best. But what a roller coaster this

0:54:59.160 --> 0:55:01.960
<v Speaker 2>this finale. It's really you know, it's funny because we

0:55:02.640 --> 0:55:04.680
<v Speaker 2>we went into this whole thing kind of knowing who

0:55:04.760 --> 0:55:06.840
<v Speaker 2>was going to win at the very first episode, but

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:10.120
<v Speaker 2>but we still were unsure at the end.

0:55:10.440 --> 0:55:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so uh yeah, this it was great.

0:55:16.640 --> 0:55:19.200
<v Speaker 2>And the you know what made me emotional was hearing

0:55:19.520 --> 0:55:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Bruno talk about this dance. That made this was the

0:55:22.560 --> 0:55:26.359
<v Speaker 2>second time I cried. Was he he said something. Let

0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:28.040
<v Speaker 2>me see if we have the exact quote here, but

0:55:28.160 --> 0:55:32.680
<v Speaker 2>he said, uh, it was beautiful and poetic. You've captured

0:55:32.719 --> 0:55:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the elusive qualities of a dream, beautiful imagery I will

0:55:36.080 --> 0:55:41.200
<v Speaker 2>never forget. And that I was like, what A like

0:55:41.520 --> 0:55:44.200
<v Speaker 2>if you take out everything that this is a competition

0:55:44.360 --> 0:55:46.080
<v Speaker 2>show and is a reality show and there's like a

0:55:46.160 --> 0:55:49.560
<v Speaker 2>trophy and everything, but like just people learning to express

0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:54.040
<v Speaker 2>themselves through dance and to create these images and express

0:55:54.280 --> 0:55:56.759
<v Speaker 2>this these emotions. I just I was like, what a

0:55:57.280 --> 0:55:59.880
<v Speaker 2>It was just a beautiful way to to summer. I

0:56:00.120 --> 0:56:01.600
<v Speaker 2>is what what we're watching here? And I was like,

0:56:01.640 --> 0:56:03.799
<v Speaker 2>this is this is art that we're experiencing, and it's

0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:04.239
<v Speaker 2>so fun to.

0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Watch art that's It's exactly what it is.

0:56:14.760 --> 0:56:17.000
<v Speaker 2>So before we move on to Elaine and Allen, we

0:56:17.120 --> 0:56:19.640
<v Speaker 2>get to see a dance from last year the Raining

0:56:19.719 --> 0:56:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Mirrorball Champions their last few moments as the reigning champions,

0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Jenny Johnson and Joey grazz a day and they did

0:56:27.280 --> 0:56:29.319
<v Speaker 2>a little dance that was fun to watch. It's fun

0:56:29.400 --> 0:56:31.719
<v Speaker 2>to watch him like rehearse after having not danced for

0:56:31.920 --> 0:56:35.600
<v Speaker 2>probably a year. Yeah, and uh and but the thing

0:56:35.680 --> 0:56:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I really loved about this moment was I don't know

0:56:38.840 --> 0:56:40.600
<v Speaker 2>how I was trying to describe it to my wife,

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:43.640
<v Speaker 2>but there's a there's a like a little clip that

0:56:43.719 --> 0:56:46.400
<v Speaker 2>they play before every dancer that they filmed at the

0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:49.000
<v Speaker 2>very beginning they're all in like the blue suit like

0:56:49.640 --> 0:56:53.240
<v Speaker 2>wardrobe and yeah, it's like Dylan and Danielle like playing

0:56:53.320 --> 0:56:56.640
<v Speaker 2>with like with a disco ball with mirball. Yeah, and

0:56:57.040 --> 0:57:00.640
<v Speaker 2>they before Jenna and Joey performed or did dance, they

0:57:00.760 --> 0:57:03.040
<v Speaker 2>played the one from last season that they had filmed,

0:57:03.080 --> 0:57:05.600
<v Speaker 2>so like Joey's hair is like really like they look

0:57:05.719 --> 0:57:07.920
<v Speaker 2>different because it's from a year ago. And I just

0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:09.680
<v Speaker 2>thought that was kind of fun that they broke that

0:57:09.840 --> 0:57:12.160
<v Speaker 2>out of the old hard drive and play that little club.

0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:15.719
<v Speaker 1>So there's a promo shoot that we all do before

0:57:15.920 --> 0:57:19.120
<v Speaker 1>we even start the show. That's the first day, like

0:57:19.960 --> 0:57:22.600
<v Speaker 1>we've met our partners. We maybe rehearsed one or two

0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:25.400
<v Speaker 1>days and everything, and then we do this promo shoot

0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:27.960

0:57:28.000 --> 0:57:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the mirror ball and all that.

0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:32.320

<v Speaker 1>worry about it.

0:57:55.880 --> 0:57:58.200
<v Speaker 2>This was so rad This was Broadway. I mean, this

0:57:58.280 --> 0:58:01.840

<v Speaker 1>such joy. But I was like, she's I didn't I

0:59:03.920 --> 0:59:05.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't feel she was gonna win at that point. That's

0:59:06.000 --> 0:59:10.000
<v Speaker 1>why that's when it clicked for me, like she's not

0:59:10.080 --> 0:59:12.080
<v Speaker 1>going to win this, but I was fun to watch

0:59:12.480 --> 0:59:13.200
<v Speaker 1>everything about it.

<v Speaker 2>gonna cure up saying this when he's like he sees you,

1:00:21.600 --> 1:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>that was like, I don't know that. That made me

1:00:24.760 --> 1:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>so emotional, And that was the.

1:00:27.320 --> 1:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Point in the program that I started crying again, and

1:00:30.520 --> 1:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm a dick because I was like, oh,

1:00:34.600 --> 1:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>this wild ride and like and then of course, like

1:00:37.800 --> 1:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I heard that and I was like, oh, yes, like

1:00:41.560 --> 1:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not been an easy journey his life, his family's

1:00:44.840 --> 1:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>life and publicly and it took me back again and

1:00:47.960 --> 1:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, this is beautiful. He's gonna win it,

1:00:51.200 --> 1:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>but this he deserves. Like it's so hard.

1:00:55.640 --> 1:01:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's so hard, but in credible dance and a

1:01:00.840 --> 1:01:05.960
<v Speaker 2>perfect tens score. Everyone gets perfect tens here. It's it's

1:01:06.000 --> 1:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>just funny. This is just such a great part of

1:01:08.280 --> 1:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>the show to watch. And now our final dance more yep.

1:01:13.120 --> 1:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Our final dance Jordan and Ezra dancing to bow Down

1:01:17.120 --> 1:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>by Beyonce and motivation by Normani. Normani, who competed in

1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>the past on Dancing with the Stars and who joins

1:01:24.640 --> 1:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Jordan for the dance. H great use of chainling fences

1:01:29.280 --> 1:01:34.720
<v Speaker 2>in this dance so cool. I I loved it. I

1:01:34.760 --> 1:01:38.080
<v Speaker 2>thought it was it was funny. When Normani joins her,

1:01:38.240 --> 1:01:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I was like, is this okay? Is this allowed to

1:01:40.400 --> 1:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>have the artist behind the song? But I'm like, it's

1:01:42.600 --> 1:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>a freestyle and everything's okay. There's definite.

1:01:48.840 --> 1:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>The last movement of the finaley.

1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I had the same thought when when Bindi came out.

1:01:56.080 --> 1:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it was during I can't remember. It was

1:01:57.760 --> 1:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>after dedication week. But Robert another dance where his sister

1:02:01.400 --> 1:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>came out and joined him, and I was like, has

1:02:03.120 --> 1:02:04.360
<v Speaker 2>this okay? How is this fair?

1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying a word. This is where I got

1:02:07.840 --> 1:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>publicly attacked in the press. But his fans.

1:02:14.320 --> 1:02:15.920
<v Speaker 2>It was fun to see Normani out there. I'm a

1:02:15.960 --> 1:02:18.160
<v Speaker 2>big Normani fan personally, so that was really fun. And

1:02:18.440 --> 1:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Jordan did a she did like a triple spin, which

1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I think is like a seven twenty or something or

1:02:25.000 --> 1:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>maybe I can't remember what the degrees are, but she

1:02:27.800 --> 1:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>was crazy. I don't know how she's a gymnast, she's

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:32.720
<v Speaker 2>prepared for this, but like, oh my god, it's just

1:02:33.000 --> 1:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>so much athleticism and physicality in this dance. It was incredible.

1:02:38.240 --> 1:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so this is I feel like I was like

1:02:44.440 --> 1:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't make a decision this whole episode because every time,

1:02:48.600 --> 1:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>so I'm at this point, I'm like, you know, they're

1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to make it whatever the first two dances,

1:02:53.880 --> 1:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I watched this dance and all of a sudden, I'm like,

1:02:56.880 --> 1:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh. First of all, I love it, Ezra.

1:03:00.400 --> 1:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm friends with Ezra. I loved watching him shine. He's

1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>a brilliant choreographer. This is only his second year as

1:03:07.640 --> 1:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a professional in Dancing with the Stars, and he was

1:03:10.800 --> 1:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>eliminated first last season. He got to go all the

1:03:13.200 --> 1:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>way this time and create such an amazing freestyle, and

1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, look, how brilliant he is. I thought

1:03:18.960 --> 1:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>she was brilliant. And this is when I changed my

1:03:21.960 --> 1:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>mind once again, and I stood up and I said, oh, yeah, yeah, guys,

1:03:29.640 --> 1:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>take it.

1:03:30.040 --> 1:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>All home, take it home. It was so good.

1:03:35.720 --> 1:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have been mad if they won.

1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, me either. But then, but then, and

1:03:46.840 --> 1:03:49.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, Carriean agrees with you. She stands up and says,

1:03:49.400 --> 1:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>that's the best freestyle I have ever seen. Oh, in

1:03:53.040 --> 1:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>this entire we have.

1:03:55.160 --> 1:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>To make notes that throughout the show, Carrie Ann gets

1:03:58.840 --> 1:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>more fired up, and every time she puts her paddle

1:04:02.240 --> 1:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>up with her score, she's pointing at it and putting

1:04:04.920 --> 1:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>into the camera like telling the audience this is what

1:04:09.400 --> 1:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it should be.

1:04:10.840 --> 1:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that I did doing that? I'm like, well, yeah,

1:04:17.640 --> 1:04:22.160
<v Speaker 2>so here we go. Well, after an incredible round of freestyles.

1:04:22.600 --> 1:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh did not disappoint at all, exceeded expectations. We now

1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:33.360
<v Speaker 2>have to get to the final elimination, themate elimination, the winner,

1:04:33.960 --> 1:04:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and my god, did they drag this out. They teased

1:04:36.640 --> 1:04:39.960
<v Speaker 2>it so much. They went to commercial break two different times.

1:04:41.920 --> 1:04:46.320
<v Speaker 2>It was crazy. So they go to break, we come.

1:04:46.280 --> 1:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Back, they announced, Yeah, it goes so there's lights everywhere

1:04:51.560 --> 1:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>on everyone, and as you're announced eliminated, like fifth place,

1:04:55.400 --> 1:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>fourth place, it just goes dark on you. Yes, and

1:04:59.560 --> 1:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>having in there in person, it is palpitable, like you

1:05:03.240 --> 1:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>watch it and you're just like.

1:05:06.000 --> 1:05:07.880
<v Speaker 3>You feel it, but you feel it through the TV

1:05:07.960 --> 1:05:17.160
<v Speaker 3>as well. Yes, So okay, fifth place, Elaine and.

1:05:17.240 --> 1:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Alan, Elaine and Allen, it goes dark. Were you shocked?

1:05:22.720 --> 1:05:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Now? I was not shocked at that point. I was

1:05:29.520 --> 1:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>they'd done so well. But I was like, at this point,

1:05:32.600 --> 1:05:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I think Elaine's gonna be the first to go.

1:05:36.800 --> 1:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>You did me?

1:05:37.760 --> 1:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was either me, Elaine or George, even

1:05:39.440 --> 1:05:40.440
<v Speaker 2>with that incredible freestyle.

1:05:42.440 --> 1:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because I want to know what place we would

1:05:44.720 --> 1:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>put them in. It's our final show. Yeah, when that

1:05:48.240 --> 1:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>went out, I was like, okay, I really loved her

1:05:52.720 --> 1:05:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and championed her, but I guess, yeah, someone's got to

1:05:55.760 --> 1:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>go first in this there we go.

1:05:58.840 --> 1:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I yeah, I would. I would have put her that

1:06:01.200 --> 1:06:05.760
<v Speaker 2>I was aligned with that. Fourth place, however, I would

1:06:05.760 --> 1:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>have changed.

1:06:06.960 --> 1:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I'm gonna take you through my timeline real quick.

1:06:10.320 --> 1:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't stop what was happening live and I couldn't stop.

1:06:14.040 --> 1:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>The meat loaf was done, the timer was going off.

1:06:18.240 --> 1:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I freaked out. My brain couldn't think fast enough to

1:06:21.960 --> 1:06:27.280
<v Speaker 1>say pause. The TV I ran and I could hear.

1:06:27.920 --> 1:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I went back and watched it afterwards. Fourth place, Dylan

1:06:33.040 --> 1:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and Daniella. I take the meat loaf out and I

1:06:37.000 --> 1:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>fumble it and it goes flying No, and it was

1:06:41.360 --> 1:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>slowm on my head, whoa, like there goes Dinner. It

1:06:49.280 --> 1:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>was like a football play. I saved it, like it

1:06:55.720 --> 1:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't go everywhere.

1:06:57.320 --> 1:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>It was like it.

1:07:00.080 --> 1:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Meatloaf was saved. Dylan and Daniel off though I was

1:07:04.560 --> 1:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>fourd he is America's champion. How could they put him

1:07:09.440 --> 1:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>in fourth? He should have been third?

1:07:12.280 --> 1:07:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I I agree, I agree completely. I'm sorry, but I

1:07:14.640 --> 1:07:19.560
<v Speaker 2>would have put Jordan in fourth. Jordan and Ezra. That

1:07:19.680 --> 1:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>was crazy And at this point, I mean, you're looking

1:07:23.040 --> 1:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>at the final like everyone's only a couple of points

1:07:27.000 --> 1:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>away from each other in terms of the judges' scores.

1:07:28.880 --> 1:07:33.080
<v Speaker 2>This is entirely audience voting at this point. I think

1:07:33.320 --> 1:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>that determining the winner is what I what I think.

1:07:36.200 --> 1:07:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know for sure, but that's what it seems

1:07:38.240 --> 1:07:38.440
<v Speaker 2>to me.

1:07:39.800 --> 1:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh so, which surprised me because West Coast does not

1:07:44.840 --> 1:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>vote based on the performance. They have to vote just

1:07:49.080 --> 1:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>who they like best. They haven't seen it yet.

1:07:52.160 --> 1:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>It just anyway, it's crazy, it's it's, yes, a major

1:07:56.240 --> 1:07:58.640
<v Speaker 2>flaw with this system, but this is how it is.

1:07:58.720 --> 1:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I guess, you know, I'm curious. How did the voting

1:08:01.080 --> 1:08:03.760
<v Speaker 2>work when it was on Disney Plus? Like, do you

1:08:03.760 --> 1:08:07.160
<v Speaker 2>remember the year maybe it was? Was it not your

1:08:07.520 --> 1:08:09.760
<v Speaker 2>was it your season? There was a no, maybe it

1:08:09.840 --> 1:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>was before. There's a couple of seasons where it was

1:08:11.600 --> 1:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>on Disney Plus and wasn't on ABC.

1:08:13.160 --> 1:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>You remember this? I didn't want to live during that time.

1:08:16.200 --> 1:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how the voting worked because like or was it

1:08:20.800 --> 1:08:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the same? And they just went if you were on

1:08:22.640 --> 1:08:24.920
<v Speaker 2>these coasts, you just or West Coast you just couldn't

1:08:24.920 --> 1:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>watch it and it wouldn't stream until a certain time.

1:08:27.600 --> 1:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>But I gotta I gotta look that up. Interesting anyway,

1:08:31.920 --> 1:08:39.840
<v Speaker 2>third place Jordan, Chiles and Azrisosa. I would have I

1:08:39.880 --> 1:08:41.640
<v Speaker 2>would have put I would have put Dylan there. We

1:08:41.680 --> 1:08:46.640
<v Speaker 2>would have swapped them. But also, you know, exciting for

1:08:46.720 --> 1:08:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Jordan to get so close, yeah to winning. She was

1:08:49.400 --> 1:08:51.040
<v Speaker 2>saying that a mirror ball is a bigger deal to

1:08:51.080 --> 1:08:53.479
<v Speaker 2>her than a gold medal, which blew my mind because

1:08:54.320 --> 1:08:56.839
<v Speaker 2>that's the highest achievement you can get as an athlete.

1:08:57.479 --> 1:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>But she wanted this dancing trophy.

1:08:59.600 --> 1:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>On a uh and put in.

1:09:04.640 --> 1:09:06.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, just call it like it like I see it.

1:09:07.479 --> 1:09:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

1:09:08.160 --> 1:09:10.960
<v Speaker 2>And then before they got down. So now we have

1:09:11.040 --> 1:09:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the last two, Alex and Robert, and they go to

1:09:13.800 --> 1:09:20.439
<v Speaker 2>another commercial break, uh and uh we have to We're

1:09:20.840 --> 1:09:22.920
<v Speaker 2>sitting there just I'm going, oh my god, who is

1:09:22.920 --> 1:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>it going to be?

1:09:23.760 --> 1:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Were you looking they're like body language between the two couples.

1:09:29.960 --> 1:09:33.479
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes I was, And I was trying to figure

1:09:33.520 --> 1:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>out because they're they're staying on either side of Alfonso

1:09:37.120 --> 1:09:40.559
<v Speaker 2>and Julianne. I think Julianne has the card with the winner,

1:09:41.680 --> 1:09:46.879
<v Speaker 2>and I was trying to see if you. I interviewed

1:09:46.960 --> 1:09:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Clay Aiken a few months ago and he and I

1:09:49.840 --> 1:09:52.160
<v Speaker 2>asked him about how did it feel when you learn

1:09:52.200 --> 1:09:54.599
<v Speaker 2>you got second place to Ruben stuttered on American Idol

1:09:55.040 --> 1:09:58.479
<v Speaker 2>and he said, when Seacrest opened the card, I looked

1:09:58.520 --> 1:10:01.320
<v Speaker 2>over and I could see it, so I like three.

1:10:01.439 --> 1:10:02.800
<v Speaker 2>He's like, if you go back and watch the tape,

1:10:02.800 --> 1:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>you can see I start to smirk and then I

1:10:04.560 --> 1:10:07.840
<v Speaker 2>like grab Ruben's shoulder or something like he knew, like

1:10:08.120 --> 1:10:10.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, three seconds before it was announced, and I

1:10:10.920 --> 1:10:12.800
<v Speaker 2>was I was watching to see if like one of

1:10:12.840 --> 1:10:15.040
<v Speaker 2>them could see. They both had their eyes closed.

1:10:15.280 --> 1:10:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Right, everyone closes their eyes like yeah, And what a moment,

1:10:19.320 --> 1:10:21.679
<v Speaker 3>Like what a what a few seconds.

1:10:22.280 --> 1:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I was shaking because I knew what was about to happen.

1:10:27.560 --> 1:10:30.599
<v Speaker 1>And all I kept doing is looking at Vowel's face,

1:10:30.680 --> 1:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, he knew, don't you think he

1:10:33.680 --> 1:10:35.320
<v Speaker 1>knew in his heart? He's like it's not gonna be

1:10:35.600 --> 1:10:38.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not gonna be us, and he was just smiling

1:10:38.640 --> 1:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>like you know, like it's it's okay. Alex did too,

1:10:42.439 --> 1:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't she?

1:10:43.640 --> 1:10:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I think they did.

1:10:45.080 --> 1:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>We all know.

1:10:47.360 --> 1:10:49.920
<v Speaker 2>And before they announced that we get to hear once

1:10:49.960 --> 1:10:53.760
<v Speaker 2>again how many people voted one of and they said

1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:56.400
<v Speaker 2>one of the closest finales of all time, the Gap

1:10:56.479 --> 1:10:58.040
<v Speaker 2>between them was just a few.

1:10:58.479 --> 1:11:01.479
<v Speaker 1>They say mere votes. They say that every season.

1:11:02.800 --> 1:11:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I know, I like to think that it was. I

1:11:05.640 --> 1:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>voted ten times for Alex Earl, so I wanted to

1:11:08.000 --> 1:11:12.559
<v Speaker 2>make sure my voice was heard. And then we find

1:11:12.560 --> 1:11:16.439
<v Speaker 2>out the winner is Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson. I

1:11:16.560 --> 1:11:19.120
<v Speaker 2>heard someone on TikTok say this, the Irwin Empire has begun.

1:11:19.880 --> 1:11:23.160
<v Speaker 2>He the second win. I mean, I don't know if

1:11:23.160 --> 1:11:25.519
<v Speaker 2>this has been done before. There's two mirrorballs in a

1:11:25.600 --> 1:11:29.280
<v Speaker 2>family and in a in a immediate family. That's like crazy.

1:11:32.200 --> 1:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>The Irwin Empire has begun. That is wild. I believe

1:11:38.040 --> 1:11:40.559
<v Speaker 1>that is correct. I believe in ten years from now

1:11:40.720 --> 1:11:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be like Kardashian who wow.

1:11:45.080 --> 1:11:49.040

1:11:52.160 --> 1:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>because I have a memory of both of the same.

1:11:54.200 --> 1:11:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Robert Owen's going to win this one.

1:11:55.720 --> 1:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, same, ok.

1:11:56.479 --> 1:11:57.040

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, any clip a clip reel of just us every

<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, yeah, so he's clearly with the winner here.

1:12:06.360 --> 1:12:09.400
