Speaker 1: Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio podcast. Hi Houston, Hi toy.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing my sunglasses right now, you are, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I have very big, expressive eyes and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: have my poker face on right now.
Speaker 2: There's a lot to get into there, a lot that.
Speaker 1: Happened Dancing with the Stars finale last night. Oh. First
Speaker 1: of all, this is our last episode of misstepping for
Speaker 1: this season. Yes, cheers, my friend, cheers to you. We
Speaker 1: have made mirrorball oss. Yes, yes, mean mind with sugar
Speaker 1: free red bull.
Speaker 2: That unique saturated you to it.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's been a wild ride. I'm a little horse
Speaker 1: today because I was screaming so much last night at
Speaker 1: the TV.
Speaker 2: Screaming with joy and glee.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I went through so many emotions last night.
Speaker 1: I was physically exhausted by the end. I still am.
Speaker 1: Just like what happened, I.
Speaker 2: Agree with you completely, but I wasn't so I wasn't
Speaker 2: shocked by the ending. I was disappointed. I was so disappointed,
Speaker 2: which is weird because I I don't know, I was
Speaker 2: excited at the very I think back to the first
Speaker 2: episode when we first saw the our mirror Ball Winter Dance,
Speaker 2: and I was like, Oh, this is exciting. This guy's
Speaker 2: really good. And now I'm just like, I'm just kind
Speaker 2: of bummed with how it turned out because I just
Speaker 2: don't well, because.
Speaker 1: You invested, you went deep on the ride, yes, and
Speaker 1: you weren't surprised the very first episode lined up with
Speaker 1: the finale episode. We all know at this point Robert
Speaker 1: Irwin and Whitney Carson won. Congratulations to the Mirror Ball winners.
Speaker 1: Now let's digress back to the beginning.
Speaker 2: So I watched Okay, I don't know if it was
Speaker 2: like this nationally, but I found this very interesting that
Speaker 2: I watched. I watched the East Coast feed of the
Speaker 2: show coming from WABC in New York, New York City,
Speaker 2: and right before I started watching it at four fifty
Speaker 2: pm Pacific, So I caught the tail end of Wheel
Speaker 2: Fortunes during my close friend Ryan Seacress. And as Wheel
Speaker 2: Fortune ended and they transitioned into Dancing with the Stars,
Speaker 2: there was the commercial that played just before. Yes, was
Speaker 2: a tourism commercial for the country of Australia starring Robert Irwin.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: I watched a minute long commercial of Robert Irwin dancing
Speaker 2: with koalas and there were other He wasn't just him
Speaker 2: the entire time, but he was the star of this commercial.
Speaker 1: He wasn't just him. Were there other finalists in this commercial?
Speaker 2: No, there were other nameless Australian people. Okay, he was
Speaker 2: the lone celebrity in this commercial.
Speaker 1: And that is the commercial everyone viewed going right into
Speaker 1: the finale that they.
Speaker 2: Can't I don't know that for certain. I don't know
Speaker 2: that for certain, but at least in the New York market,
Speaker 2: which is the number one market in the country. Right
Speaker 2: before the show started, which everyone who's watching this is
Speaker 2: a fan, and so they're tuning in for the very
Speaker 2: beginning and probably tuning in early like I did. The
Speaker 2: last thing they see before the show starts is Robert
Speaker 2: Irwin's shit eating grain dancing with the koala And.
Speaker 1: I thought, said, guys.
Speaker 2: I thought that was insane, Like, what on earth? How
Speaker 2: is that? Okay? No?
Speaker 1: Okay? Oh god? Am I getting so much trouble here?
Speaker 1: Is there any world? Have you thought about this theory?
Speaker 1: What year did Bendy Irwin win Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 2: Bendy Irwin won Dancing with the Stars in uh in
Speaker 2: uh Let's see he was very young. He was very young.
Speaker 2: She won. It was ten years ago, it was twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: Okay, you want to go on a wild conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2: Here, take me what if.
Speaker 1: When she won? They're like in twoenty twenty five, the
Speaker 1: ten year marker of when she won, and you are
Speaker 1: gonna go on Dancing with the Stars. And that's when
Speaker 1: he started preparing his Journey of Dance.
Speaker 2: Well, he started training ten years ago in secret. Yes,
Speaker 2: I mean they I saw someone on TikTok last night
Speaker 2: say the Irwin Empire is upon us, and like, I'm
Speaker 2: really okay, I'm really curious because we've talked about this.
Speaker 2: He's in the Zootopia movie, which is out this weekend. Yes,
Speaker 2: he's in the Zuotopia role, but he's in it. He
Speaker 2: won Dancing with the Stars. He was I think he was.
Speaker 2: Who was the first contestant to be announced, right.
Speaker 1: The first one, a long time before the reveal of
Speaker 1: the others on Good Morning America.
Speaker 2: Then over the next twelve months, we are going to
Speaker 2: be seeing a lot of Robert Irwin in Disney Company
Speaker 2: associated things. I think we're going to see him hosting
Speaker 2: the damn you know, Christmas Parade, next year, I think
Speaker 2: he's gonna He's definitely gonna do a lot dancing with
Speaker 2: the Stars stuff he's going on. He's going to be
Speaker 2: on the tour. He Witney will be on the tour.
Speaker 2: I'm really curious what else the Disney Company they're they're
Speaker 2: clearly investing in the Irwins, and I'm really interested to
Speaker 2: see what else happens in the next twelve months, because
Speaker 2: I think that would be very apparent. And I don't
Speaker 2: know if this started in twenty fifteen or if it was.
Speaker 2: It's a great theory.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm you're saying it could have started way
Speaker 1: before twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: I think maybe, you know, I don't know if Disney
Speaker 2: had any connection to their father, but when he passed,
Speaker 2: I know, the whole family obviously, everyone became very interested
Speaker 2: in the Irwins, and they're just such a They're a
Speaker 2: delightful family, like every you know. I sobbed every time
Speaker 2: the mom was on screen. It's just it is, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of details here that are really hard to ignore.
Speaker 1: With a lot of signs, A.
Speaker 2: Lot of signs. Yeah, I don't know. The other thing
Speaker 2: apart from the conspiracy, Yes, I keep thinking about the
Speaker 2: way the finales judges. Really I was trying to think
Speaker 2: about this. I'm like, are we looking at this as
Speaker 2: a season as a whole? Are we supposed to look
Speaker 2: at this like who performed the best throughout the entire season?
Speaker 2: Or is it like we're looking at tonight. Everyone who's
Speaker 2: here obviously made it through the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: Who does the best tonight?
Speaker 1: Great question? I mean that they were scoring on what
Speaker 1: they saw. Yes, the audience is obviously scoring on who
Speaker 1: they've gone on this journey with. I don't think they're
Speaker 1: scoring that night.
Speaker 2: Because I think, and I'm going to continue to say
Speaker 2: this about this recapit.
Speaker 1: You should I drink every time you say it.
Speaker 2: Ye, Alex Earle to me won the finale. I think
Speaker 2: Alex Earl was the best dancer, and the judges scores
Speaker 2: reflect that.
Speaker 1: Out of the two of them. Are you saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: out of out of all the finalists the finalists?
Speaker 2: Okay, I think Alex should have won.
Speaker 1: Last night, I went on some different emotions. Wait can
Speaker 1: we go? Oh God, I don't know where to start
Speaker 1: now because different points last night I was rooting on
Speaker 1: different people. Yes, and that's not normal for me. I've
Speaker 1: been pretty consistent about who's going to like, Yeah, Whitney
Speaker 1: loved it.
Speaker 2: I still say was robbed, like I wanted to see
Speaker 2: her in the finals so badly, and it just I
Speaker 2: wanted to see that freestyle so bad.
Speaker 1: So bad. Okay, wait, how should we break this up?
Speaker 1: We have three hours to break down.
Speaker 2: Three three dances each, so we can start with I
Speaker 2: mean here, should we just go through in order? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and just kind of we don't have to spend too
Speaker 2: much time on each dance. But uh so, uh, I'm
Speaker 2: just sorry our producer age. You made these incredible notes
Speaker 2: for us, and then I also have my personal ones
Speaker 2: that I wrote, and it's just funny saying Australian Tourism
Speaker 2: commercial with Robert Irwin. H And the opening number was great.
Speaker 2: It was so fun seeing everybody back and they peppered
Speaker 2: them throughout the show and that was so fun to see.
Speaker 2: I loved it. And I was thinking, actually, really really quick,
Speaker 2: I have a question for you, because you lived this,
Speaker 2: you went through this, what was it like. It's not
Speaker 2: that in the great scheme of things, the time between
Speaker 2: being eliminated and coming back for the finale, it's it's
Speaker 2: what like two months or something. Like eight weeks.
Speaker 1: For us first eliminated. I just I just remember it's
Speaker 1: right before Thanksgiving, and it's like, yeah, wow, so it's
Speaker 1: a it's a tough. And I remember being in rehearsal
Speaker 1: that last week right before Thanksgiving, like every day and
Speaker 1: ordering like my turkey online, like sitting with Dina Kats
Speaker 1: who's the producer, and we were sitting in the in
Speaker 1: the audience waiting, you know, we're all waiting for your
Speaker 1: little bits to rehearse and everything, but in the ballroom.
Speaker 1: So it was like probably the day before the finale,
Speaker 1: so Monday, sitting there and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: because I had been filming, so I was on Dancing
Speaker 1: with the Stars got eliminated first, which I didn't anticipate,
Speaker 1: but because of that, a movie I was supposed to do,
Speaker 1: I had to turn down. I was able to do.
Speaker 1: So then I flew to Florida. Yes, yep, that's where
Speaker 1: I did that, and I went literally from that flight
Speaker 1: home right back into the ballroom to do the finale.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So like landed the very next morning, so I didn't
Speaker 1: have anything planned for Thanksgiving and we're there till Tuesday
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving is on a Thursday, you know, all night.
Speaker 1: So I didn't have my turkey, and Diana's like Gelson's
Speaker 1: we will still have it. So I'm like, we're online
Speaker 1: and like ordering my turkey Gilson's. Goss is your big fan.
Speaker 2: We love you, Gelson's, we love you. Thanks for saving Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: I was curious, like what the rehearsal was like after,
Speaker 2: because you know, I'm sure you didn't stop. You know,
Speaker 2: you're still dancing in your daily life, I'm sure, but
Speaker 2: like you're not in a rehearsal. No, how was it
Speaker 2: like going from rehearsing so hard for the first couple
Speaker 2: weeks of the show being eliminated, then I imagine it
Speaker 2: coming to a complete halt and then going back into
Speaker 2: it to do these there's several dances you have to
Speaker 2: do in the finale, yes, so yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Had to do lifts and spins and I good news
Speaker 1: is I did all my own stunts, most of my
Speaker 1: own stunts in the Everglades, so kept my body moving
Speaker 1: because to go from that extreme, you know me, I
Speaker 1: don't do anything physical, Like I park as close as
Speaker 1: I can to the mall to walk in, like I
Speaker 1: do not want to walk. I'm not that girl. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I went in and I went in deep, and I
Speaker 1: rehearsed my butt off, and like didn't like to go
Speaker 1: from that intense training seven days a week. It was wild.
Speaker 1: But so I went from that doing some stunts but
Speaker 1: like not dancing. And then when you go back in
Speaker 1: you're like in it and you're like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: So you're obviously not as like loosened up as you
Speaker 1: were because you were rehearsing every day and they're on
Speaker 1: such a schedule they don't have time to like, you know,
Speaker 1: Pasha did the best he could, but he doesn't have
Speaker 1: time to like start all over again with me, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's uh, I mean we all have.
Speaker 1: To rehearse together, so we can't even do it in
Speaker 1: you know, the the studio where they show the rooms
Speaker 1: that they're in in the packages each week, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: we all have to be there together. So we have
Speaker 1: to go to a different studio so we can have
Speaker 1: a huge space to all rehearse together. Except the finalists
Speaker 1: don't rehearse with us. Okay, they're doing their own thing.
Speaker 1: It's just all of us eliminate ones that rehearse our
Speaker 1: little bits.
Speaker 2: It was so fun to see and I was thinking
Speaker 2: about the people that were eliminated first, which Baron Davis
Speaker 2: and Corey Feldman, and it was fun seeing them back
Speaker 2: and I thought that, and I was like, kind of watching,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I don't think especially, I'm sorry, but
Speaker 2: Baron Davis, I just don't see him dancing in between.
Speaker 2: But they both did great. They it's great, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was really fun to see that. So are again
Speaker 2: three dances tonight from our finalists. The first round is
Speaker 2: the Judge's Choice, where a judge gets assigned to a
Speaker 2: couple and they choose which dance they're going to do.
Speaker 2: And our first first competitors Alex Earl and Valishi Murkowsky
Speaker 2: Carrie Anne asked them to do a samba and which
Speaker 2: is intimidating, but she did incredible. I think it was great.
Speaker 2: It was so good. She had these cool like, uh,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to call him Tassel
Speaker 2: or fringe, these crazy pants that she wears a couple
Speaker 2: of times throughout the night, and she looked great.
Speaker 1: She did the splits Alex love its pants. Now.
Speaker 2: I was wondering that too, because Rickey wore very similar pants. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm hoping they're the same. I don't know if they're
Speaker 2: like similarly, you know, how close they're in height or whatever.
Speaker 2: But I saw those you know, I love those pants.
Speaker 2: I was gravitating towards those pants.
Speaker 1: You'd look great.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. I'm going to try and grab a
Speaker 2: dupe on Amazon. Yeah. It was a great dance. Carry
Speaker 2: Anne loved it and which made me happy because she
Speaker 2: chose it. She called it a refined fierceness, and I
Speaker 2: wrote down, I'm like, I want Alex to win so badly.
Speaker 2: I wanted to win so bad and I knew it
Speaker 2: was unlikely based on how things have been going, but
Speaker 2: I really think she was just has improved so much.
Speaker 1: The night before. So it was rehearsal night. Did you
Speaker 1: see that video of them rehearsing Val and Alex that's
Speaker 1: on Instagram.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I did because I followed him both now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So I'm a like Val is one of
Speaker 1: the nicest, kindest humans ever, and he's so strong and
Speaker 1: professional that you don't always get to see that side
Speaker 1: of him on the show. And he was the one
Speaker 1: like so evolved in like spiritual and like moments where
Speaker 1: I would be like, oh, you know, in the makeup
Speaker 1: trailer behind. He would always calm me down and always
Speaker 1: had the right things to say, and he's just a really,
Speaker 1: really amazing human. So watching that video it was their
Speaker 1: last rehearsal and they were gonna, I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god. So I like replied, and I was like,
Speaker 1: in val, I trust, like, I love you so much
Speaker 1: and I look forward to knowing you. Alex, like this
Speaker 1: partnership has broken barriers and I love it. And he
Speaker 1: hearted it back and I was just like, oh, I
Speaker 1: love it. I became such a fan of the season. This
Speaker 1: is so cool. Anyway. Yeah, I was right with you.
Speaker 1: I really wanted them to win, but you knew they weren't,
Speaker 1: right because two seasons ago he took home the mirror ball,
Speaker 1: and then last season his wife took him the mirror ball.
Speaker 1: And they have to play it fair drink.
Speaker 2: Huh Okay, yes they do. I guess it. I I
Speaker 2: just it's fresh trading. It is because I really I
Speaker 2: just shove strongly believe Alex Erle was the best dancer
Speaker 2: last night anyway, perfect ten score as deserved. Dylan Ephron
Speaker 2: in between night. Sorry, it was it's Bruno's birthday. His
Speaker 2: seventieth birthday, which is incredible.
Speaker 1: That man does not look seventy no.
Speaker 2: And he's got so much energy.
Speaker 1: My godsh have you ever met him in person?
Speaker 2: I never have No.
Speaker 1: Delightful really just as delightful as you would think, great, funny, humor,
Speaker 1: looks great person, He's amazing.
Speaker 2: I've met Derek Huff in person, but I haven't met
Speaker 2: Carrie Anne nor Bruno.
Speaker 1: They're all great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love our judges. In between the dances, they
Speaker 2: are kind of pepper in some I was calling it
Speaker 2: member this segments where they just look back on the series,
Speaker 2: the season as a whole and kind of go back
Speaker 2: to the early early dances and some of the eliminated competitors.
Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: In between those moments, that's where oh, I texted you
Speaker 1: last night. But I decided to won't never make anything
Speaker 1: easy in my life. I'd like to go for the hardest.
Speaker 1: So while I had to watch the three hour finale,
Speaker 1: I also decided to make Homie meatload for my children,
Speaker 1: which I'll tell you later how that went. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so I took those moments of the flashbacks to be
Speaker 1: like check on my food, check on my food. Okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: that was good for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was afraid for the three hours. I was
Speaker 2: because you know, that's daunting and I'm more.
Speaker 1: Than the Titanic. Yeah, it's like a stance with the stars.
Speaker 1: Like what three hours?
Speaker 2: Yes, And I'm glad that they had commercial breaks. But
Speaker 2: I'm visiting my mother for the holiday, and I was like,
Speaker 2: we got to eat dinner at some point. This is
Speaker 2: like prime dinner time, and so during the do you
Speaker 2: remember this segments? And during the commercials lee back to
Speaker 2: the dinner table and eat, eat a couple of bites
Speaker 2: of salad, and then go back to work and then
Speaker 2: clock back in. Uh ling something.
Speaker 1: Amperal quickly bring it up. I didn't realize the carrion
Speaker 1: was a flying girl.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I was screaming.
Speaker 2: That comes up in Jordan child dance. That comes up later.
Speaker 2: We will get into that. But I did not know
Speaker 2: that either. And I was so excited to learn that.
Speaker 2: And I was also excited to teach my wife what
Speaker 2: the fly girls were. She did not know what a
Speaker 2: fly girl.
Speaker 1: Was, and I was like, oh my god, my kids
Speaker 1: didn't either.
Speaker 2: So much so much we need to watch the color
Speaker 2: come on j Loo, you know, I was thinking about
Speaker 2: it living color because I did a fire Marshal Bill
Speaker 2: impression like the day before, and so like a living colors.
Speaker 1: Like on my brain signs.
Speaker 2: Dylan Efron and Danielle like got their first dance, the
Speaker 2: Passive Doblay, chosen by Bruno the Birthday Boy. This was very,
Speaker 2: very good. The shirt came off quick in this dance. Yes,
Speaker 2: he did not have a shirt on for long. He
Speaker 2: really wants that mirror ball. Now you can see the determination.
Speaker 2: The ballroom went nuts at this dance. Everyone is on
Speaker 2: their feet and Alfonso is he loves saying that the
Speaker 2: ballroom loves it. I did not. I was impressed with this.
Speaker 1: I did not either. I didn't know where you were
Speaker 1: going with that. And I was like, wait this disagreed, disagree. Wow,
Speaker 1: it's felt stiff. I yeah, I waged so much progress
Speaker 1: this season. And then that was his first dance out
Speaker 1: and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, so I'm you know, I thought it was
Speaker 2: underwhelming as well. And there's a part where he like
Speaker 2: shuffles Danielle under his leg that was kind of cool.
Speaker 2: That was the only part that I really loved.
Speaker 1: It got better, but the first part was just and
Speaker 1: then I in my brain was trying to be like, well,
Speaker 1: is this on purpose because it's a possible dobl a.
Speaker 1: Is he supposed to be stiffed like the Mauta door
Speaker 1: And I'm like but then I'm like, no, I think
Speaker 1: it just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just the ability wasn't there, and you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's funny on this The ability in this finale
Speaker 2: is so high. There's so many perfect scores tonight that like,
Speaker 2: if you get like he got straight nines, which I
Speaker 2: think earlier in the season that would have been like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I can't believe how well he did.
Speaker 2: Now it's oh god, that's a terrible score.
Speaker 1: The finale, you get nines, You're like, you suck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, home man, I just got to point
Speaker 1: out and it's been happening all season, but it continues.
Speaker 1: This is a show that's on ABC, Disney Plus and Hulu,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna call up the Disney factor here. There
Speaker 1: are so many sexual in New Windows made that I
Speaker 1: got and I love it when Bruno makes new windows.
Speaker 1: But I was just it's like, is this okay? He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch that back later. I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: what is happening.
Speaker 2: Yes, he said when he said that, and then also
Speaker 2: he said like, uh, wrap that up any gift and
Speaker 2: send it to my trailer. Anytime a male dancer takes
Speaker 2: her shirt off, Bruno gets, you know, excited. Yes, and uh.
Speaker 1: And he only he only does it with Dylan.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's so comment to Andy Richter like it's just like
Speaker 1: yes and Andy carry him in, thank you.
Speaker 2: Uh. Dylan is very fun to watch. He's a very
Speaker 2: attractive young man. Uh. And it's funny after that dance.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: My wife Allison Lena, She's like, he's going home tonight.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, they're all going home. Everyone's going home
Speaker 2: except for one person.
Speaker 1: So he's going home tonight. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got we got to reframe. We're we're talking
Speaker 2: about here. Next up Elaine Hendrix and Alan Burson. I
Speaker 2: had the joy of reminding my mother who Elaine Hendricks
Speaker 2: was every time they showed her on screen holding up
Speaker 2: a picture of the Parent Trap poster. I just show
Speaker 2: her this. I was like, she's from the Parent Trap.
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's interesting because you watch this with your mom.
Speaker 1: The finale I watched with all my kids, so it's
Speaker 1: different generations. But I was doing the same thing. So
Speaker 1: they're like, who is she? She looks familiar. I'm like, uh,
Speaker 1: the parent trap the original. Nope, you guys wouldn't know
Speaker 1: their original. That's my generation. Lindsay Lohan. I was like,
Speaker 1: she's Meredith Banks, Meredith Banks. I was like, justice for
Speaker 1: Meredith Banks. It's all over TikTok. Anyway, I'm showing her
Speaker 1: and I was like, she was in Freak Your Friday.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what to say to make them notice.
Speaker 1: And then my daughter goes, I know who she is.
Speaker 1: She was in Beverly Hills, Chihuahua.
Speaker 2: What a pull. Wow, Okay, great, okay wow. I didn't
Speaker 2: realize it was such a cultural touchstone to that movie.
Speaker 1: It is actually.
Speaker 2: So uh Yeah. Elaine Hendricks is great and I'm so
Speaker 2: excited to see her in the finals. I mean that song, yes,
Speaker 2: take my Breath Away.
Speaker 1: From Top gun I. This is the first dance. I cried.
Speaker 2: Me too. I got very emotional.
Speaker 1: She just it was so beautiful. And have you noticed
Speaker 1: on this journey with Dancing with the Stars she has
Speaker 1: had what some call the Hollywood glow up?
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I have noticed that.
Speaker 1: Like she just keeps getting younger and more like glamor.
Speaker 1: I don't know, she looked amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. And something I keep thinking about is like,
Speaker 2: while the season's on this they keep saying that this
Speaker 2: season has been breaking so many like ratings wreck or
Speaker 2: it is voting records, just everyone's watching the season.
Speaker 1: This is they.
Speaker 2: Keep telling They keep reminding us that, And I don't
Speaker 2: know if I'm just in I'm into Dancing with the
Speaker 2: Star's bubble, I'm I'm thinking about constantly. Everyone I work
Speaker 2: with is talking about it constantly. But it seems in
Speaker 2: the past the viewership has skewed more older. I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's been for older people that watch it, and this
Speaker 2: season a lot of younger people are watching for the
Speaker 2: Alex Earls and such and and I think Ezra's really
Speaker 2: bringing in a lot of young people too. So I'm
Speaker 2: what I'm curious about for Elaine specifically, is like, is
Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars. I don't want to say a
Speaker 2: launching point because these people are already stars, but like,
Speaker 2: is it going to reinvigorate certain certain people's careers? Like
Speaker 2: are we going to see more of Elaine Hendricks around
Speaker 2: after this?
Speaker 1: Okay, so historically at least this is what is what
Speaker 1: I was told every season. I always said I was
Speaker 1: offered Dance with the Stars, it was too nervous to
Speaker 1: do it, didn't do it, And when I would talk
Speaker 1: to people that were on it, I'd be like, they'd
Speaker 1: be like, it literally restores your career. Like not that
Speaker 1: people aren't relevant, but like people, every single person that
Speaker 1: does Dancing with the Stars goes on to do something
Speaker 1: else unexpected great, like a real, real career climb. Except
Speaker 1: when I did it, what happened that is such My
Speaker 1: Life's like Tori's life, like, Oh, I'm gonna finally do
Speaker 1: this climb the mountain and it's like hello, hello, knocking
Speaker 1: on doors, like all the lights are off. Nothing happened
Speaker 1: after that, but we're doing misstepping. So this there's something
Speaker 1: but yeah something, Yes, everyone says it does something for
Speaker 1: everybody's career. So Elaine Hendricks will something huge will come.
Speaker 2: For her out office, I hope because she's it was
Speaker 2: so fun to watch. I really enjoyed watching her story too.
Speaker 2: She was so great, and you know, I'm so appreciative
Speaker 2: of her doing this podcast and hanging out with you too.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see her in person.
Speaker 2: She's great and This dance was great too. She had
Speaker 2: a Derek huff chose a rumba to take my breathway
Speaker 2: as we as we mentioned from Taiga, and she did
Speaker 2: this crazy twirl. I thought she had great control over
Speaker 2: her hands. I'm watching the hands a line. She looked
Speaker 2: very good, a very gentle and tender dance, which I
Speaker 2: was so emotional.
Speaker 1: And you think you show there like you wanted them
Speaker 1: to kiss them too, like you've done in the past.
Speaker 2: Of course, I don't want everybody to kiss that's a dream.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Watch jump in ahead just a bit. But later in
Speaker 2: the near the end, they're kind of promoting the tour,
Speaker 2: the Dancing with the Stars tour, which they don't let
Speaker 2: us forget about. But we got to see dances from
Speaker 2: all the couples on the pro couples and it was
Speaker 2: like Val and Jenna, Pasha and Daniella, and there was
Speaker 2: one other. Oh I actually I don't know if there
Speaker 2: are a couple or not.
Speaker 1: But Alan and Emma.
Speaker 2: God, they show yes, yes, Alan and Alan and Emma.
Speaker 2: No you didn't no, I did not, h Yeah, And
Speaker 2: it was it was so fun.
Speaker 1: There's three real life couples on the show because with
Speaker 1: the pros.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so fun to watch because then like
Speaker 2: they were getting really close and like they each kissed
Speaker 2: a couple of times, which I thought was so fun
Speaker 2: because I'm like, oh, they're they're married, they can kiss
Speaker 2: on the dance floor, which satisfied the cardinal urges I
Speaker 2: felt watching there them throughout the season.
Speaker 1: Do you know the pro Sasha because he was not
Speaker 1: on this season.
Speaker 2: Sasha Farberry, Yeah, yeah, he's been around. He's not competing
Speaker 2: this season. Obviously he's there.
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorites, such a great guy. Did
Speaker 1: you know that Emma and Sasha used to be together
Speaker 1: agent on the Stay?
Speaker 2: I learned this last night.
Speaker 1: And now Alan and Emma together. I'm like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: You know Showman's I was.
Speaker 1: On last season. A friend of mine st I've heard
Speaker 1: rumors on Reddit that Alan and Emma are together, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm with them every day. No, no,
Speaker 1: they're just friends. Well, wow, it was real.
Speaker 2: I love Alan Bercy. He seems so sweet.
Speaker 1: He's so sweet.
Speaker 2: He's so he just seems so like gentle and caring
Speaker 2: for Elaine, who's just been through it like this season,
Speaker 2: like that crazy injury and you know, and she's the
Speaker 2: oldest competitor in the finals. But how lucky she was
Speaker 2: to have a partner like that. He's just so he
Speaker 2: seems so great.
Speaker 1: They're really talented of matching the pros with their celebs
Speaker 1: on not just emotional needs as well. They're very skilled
Speaker 1: in knowing that, and you can't truly know it until
Speaker 1: they start their partnership. But kudos to Dancing with the
Speaker 1: Stars producers.
Speaker 2: It's so and you know, just to go to go
Speaker 2: back to Alex, my my fam hero for a second.
Speaker 2: She pointed out in I can't remember if it was
Speaker 2: in the first Dancer and that's or later on, but
Speaker 2: she pointed out that she and Val were the only
Speaker 2: partners that didn't hug on the first day she came
Speaker 2: in and they shook hands. And I heard from another
Speaker 2: from someone else who was there that when everyone met
Speaker 2: Alex for the first time, she like, everyone's hugging each other.
Speaker 2: You know, everyone knows you're going to be in this
Speaker 2: for a long time. Like so, I think everyone's like
Speaker 2: really familiar right away, and everyone wants to hug each other.
Speaker 2: Alex shook everybody's hands. She didn't hug anybody, And this
Speaker 2: person said they thought that was interesting. And now she
Speaker 2: and Val are like super close, and there were rumors
Speaker 2: that she and Val didn't get along. That was an
Speaker 2: early rumor. Was it like they Yeah, I saw it
Speaker 2: online that they they didn't like each other.
Speaker 1: But they're very, very tough love on his celebrity. He's
Speaker 1: like he he's not easy, but that's why he gets
Speaker 1: so much out of them exactly, but he's also so kind. Hmmm,
Speaker 1: do you think that's true or they just made that
Speaker 1: up online?
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's just that's what I heard. That's
Speaker 2: what I heard. I mean, there's got to be something,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe they just made it up. So back
Speaker 2: to Elaine and Allen. Derek loved their dance and I
Speaker 2: was thinking about this judge's choice one. I was like,
Speaker 2: the judge who picks the dance, it kind of works
Speaker 2: them a little bit too, you know, like they're just
Speaker 2: going to automatically love it. Is that that's something I
Speaker 2: can guarantee they have I improven wrong, I improven wrong
Speaker 2: just a few dances later, right, yes, yes, we will
Speaker 2: get into yeah. But I was like, oh, well, the
Speaker 2: when with this round, we can at least guarantee one
Speaker 2: of the Judges is going to be like obsessed with
Speaker 2: what they're doing. Derek loved this dance. They got a
Speaker 2: perfect ten, they got tens across the board and it
Speaker 2: was just it was a great It was a great dance.
Speaker 2: It was so fun come back with a little Lady
Speaker 2: Gaga dance. We got to see Scott Hoyning, he's a
Speaker 2: huge Lady Gaga fan, dance to that. So that was
Speaker 2: really fun to see. And now we're moving on to
Speaker 2: our would be champion, Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson. Derek
Speaker 2: has chosen a quick step for them to are You
Speaker 2: Gonna Be My Girl? By Jet and this so they
Speaker 2: should point out that Robert has a rib injury, and
Speaker 2: I was like, are they setting us up for him
Speaker 2: to be not very good but like kind of give
Speaker 2: him a pass because he's injured, or is it like,
Speaker 2: oh wow, look, how look how good he was. He's
Speaker 2: in he's injured too, And I was like, this is
Speaker 2: like kind of tainting how we're looking at this. But
Speaker 2: I said out loud, I was like, he could not
Speaker 2: dance the entire show and he's still gonna win. This
Speaker 2: is how that's everyone's made up their minds already.
Speaker 1: I have many thoughts about this first dance with Robert
Speaker 1: and Whitney. I came away from this dance very upset, Wow,
Speaker 1: very upset because I felt which didn't reflect except in
Speaker 1: Carrie Anne, but everyone else gave them ten. So I
Speaker 1: was like, did I see this wrong? I felt like
Speaker 1: he was friggin dragging his progue across the dance floor. Yes,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, Whinny Carson, she's a wife, she's a mom,
Speaker 1: She's incredible dancer, so skilled, so dedicated, and it pissed
Speaker 1: me off on her behalf because I was like, what's
Speaker 1: he proving here? Like it almost made her look like
Speaker 1: she wasn't in control, And there were moments where I
Speaker 1: could see on her face. I was just like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, what are you doing? I thought she was
Speaker 1: gonna have an injury afterwards because he was being so
Speaker 1: forceful with her, and I got pissed me off on
Speaker 1: her behalf.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I I I agree, uh, And I was watching
Speaker 2: this and I'm like, you would not know he was
Speaker 2: injured based on this dance. I didn't think. I'm I'm
Speaker 2: not saying he wasn't injured, but I'm just saying maybe
Speaker 2: it's overblown a little bit because he was being very forceful.
Speaker 2: I had I had the same thought. Uh, the doctor
Speaker 2: in the in the package says the choreo the choreo
Speaker 2: had to be creatively altered to not aggravate his injury more.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if that meant now he gets
Speaker 2: to drag around like a rag doll or whatever.
Speaker 1: Overcompment saying, I don't know what happened because they're usually
Speaker 1: on point, but it's like it's it felt like he
Speaker 1: was just going forward and like not listening to his partner.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was odd. Didn't love that.
Speaker 2: Jez and Uh, Bruno and Derek gave him tense Darren
Speaker 2: held him the quick step King, and he had a
Speaker 2: part time getting that that out. But then carry Anne
Speaker 2: had the we didn't have the butt heard around the world.
Speaker 1: I noticed that too, because he wanted to say Queen yes,
Speaker 1: and he couldn't get the word. And then he was
Speaker 1: like what's happening and he's like King, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god.
Speaker 2: He stood up and kind of played off like he
Speaker 2: was like being overcome with emotion like Bruno exactly yeah,
Speaker 2: and then Carrie Anne's like it was okay, but and
Speaker 2: then everyone starts booing. She didn't even get I didn't
Speaker 2: hear her critique. I didn't hear what she didn't like
Speaker 2: about it because everyone started booing, and then she had
Speaker 2: to like, I was afraid for her safety, honestly, like
Speaker 2: everyone was so mad that she wasn't just giving it
Speaker 2: a ten. And she said there was a mistake, but
Speaker 2: she would didn't couldn't vocalize what the mistake was, so
Speaker 2: she gave it a nine for that unknown mistake.
Speaker 1: We'll have to find that online. I'm sure it's somewhere online.
Speaker 2: What she said, it's something. And then we go to
Speaker 2: a commercial break and come back with we have to
Speaker 2: see our beloved Daniel fishal Andy Richter, and Whitney Levitt dancing.
Speaker 2: We were calling them the fan favorite crew. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: the Yeah, everyone loves all three of them. It was
Speaker 2: fun to see them dancing again in that like kind
Speaker 2: of tower thing. That was fun. Jordan, Chiles and Ezra's
Speaker 2: as so our next Carrie Anne gave them a passive
Speaker 2: doblay to breaking dishes by Rihanna, and that's when we
Speaker 2: learned that carry girl. Yes, that's when I learned Jordan
Speaker 2: was very excited about that, as was everybody. That was
Speaker 2: really fun and I realized I don't know much about
Speaker 2: carry Ane's background, so I would like to research more
Speaker 2: because I'm sure there's more surprising things. Yes, I thought
Speaker 2: that Jordan was like dragging a bit on this. I
Speaker 2: thought she was kind of behind Ezra and it was good,
Speaker 2: but I.
Speaker 1: Think it was I didn't love it either, and that's
Speaker 1: when I was like, oh, they're not going to be
Speaker 1: in like being one. It's the finals. There was no
Speaker 1: one eliminated, like it's I know want like, well no,
Speaker 1: because we got to see them all dance. I feel
Speaker 1: like they used to do it where like in the
Speaker 1: beginning of the show, three would go home. Do I
Speaker 1: say this every like around home?
Speaker 2: Like yeah, like they would eliminate people throughout the episode
Speaker 2: and then yeah.
Speaker 1: But I just can't do that because they've all worked
Speaker 1: so hard, these three dances, but be a little more exciting, and.
Speaker 2: We kind of get because you know, when they do
Speaker 2: the eliminations, it would just be like a random group
Speaker 2: and then the two lowest scoring people and so we
Speaker 2: kind of get a version of eliminations when they because
Speaker 2: they tell us like who got fifth, who got fourth right, and.
Speaker 1: It's not the same fact.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, no, it's exactly exactly. Yeah. So Carrie
Speaker 2: Anne had a problem with this one too, and everyone
Speaker 2: started booing again, and I was like, oh, my gosh,
Speaker 2: she can be like attacked by an angry mob, like
Speaker 2: just for having it.
Speaker 1: And then and then wait, this is the one where
Speaker 1: someone said something in the audience.
Speaker 2: Correct someone someone yells is something at her and she's like,
Speaker 2: what'd you say to me?
Speaker 1: She goes, what did you say? And like she stood
Speaker 1: up like this, and I could have sworn, like her
Speaker 1: middle finger was kind of like pointed out, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, it's going to go down.
Speaker 1: Didn't you kind of wanted I didn't want her to
Speaker 1: get hurt. But I love this she.
Speaker 2: Stood up, yes, because we've talked about this before. She
Speaker 2: is a She is a lone woman up there with
Speaker 2: two guys, and she often has something unpopular to say,
Speaker 2: and I just feel like she's in a really tough position. Uh,
Speaker 2: and someone came at her. It's crazy. The notes in
Speaker 2: here say someone allegedly yelled the F word or shut
Speaker 2: up be to her, and which sucks, like let her
Speaker 2: do her damn job. My God. I know it's not popular, but.
Speaker 1: Okay, I do have to say she has stepped up
Speaker 1: to take on this role. That's a bit different than
Speaker 1: how she's been in the past. She's critiquing, people are
Speaker 1: booing her. She has accepted it, come into it. She
Speaker 1: used to be like, oh, Carrie Inne, she's the female,
Speaker 1: we love her. She's in her villain era. So it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's accepted this role. And do you think now they're
Speaker 1: pushing it further and encouraging her.
Speaker 2: Possibly because that's what gets people talking.
Speaker 1: Yes, so did someone actually shout something or was that all?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. Interesting. Next up we have the Instant Dance,
Speaker 2: which is so exciting. But before we talk about that,
Speaker 2: we got to take a quick break. Okay, we'll be
Speaker 2: right back with more misstepping. Hey, it's miss Stepping. My
Speaker 2: name's Easton Allen. I'm hanging out with Tory Spelling, the
Speaker 2: host of this show. She has allowed me into her
Speaker 2: home to talk about the finale of Dancing with the
Speaker 2: Stars Season thirty four. The Instant Dance is this next round.
Speaker 2: They find out the dance and the song five minutes
Speaker 2: before they have to do it. My god, this is insane.
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe this round, like that this was the
Speaker 2: thing you have to do.
Speaker 1: So my kids are like, wait, wait, wait is this real?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know, actually, because we
Speaker 1: don't get to see that part when all the we
Speaker 1: come back the finalists were hers separately, so oh man,
Speaker 1: and I was so focused on that, like dress rehearsal
Speaker 1: that day and everything. I don't know, but like there
Speaker 1: must be some conversation like if this is the app
Speaker 1: that you see, you pick this, like do you think anything?
Speaker 2: I don't know, because they show them preparing in the
Speaker 2: packages for anything, like they they I think they have.
Speaker 2: They make them prepare for all every dance and then
Speaker 2: they pull the one that they end up choosing and
Speaker 2: something that like I don't know if it was cooked
Speaker 2: or not, but I just enjoyed. Was when we got
Speaker 2: to Dylan and Danielle. There was a part right it
Speaker 2: was after they'd gotten changed, but before they started they
Speaker 2: come back from breaking. You could see Danielle on her
Speaker 2: iPhone listening to the song and like kind of doing things,
Speaker 2: doing moves, and I was really I thought that was
Speaker 2: cool because I'm like, oh God, like they really have
Speaker 2: to come up with this on the spot, Like that's
Speaker 2: what if it's a song that I don't know like it?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that happened with like when they
Speaker 2: got you know, well, we have to get into Alex
Speaker 2: and Val. But Dylan and Danielle got Ordinary by Alex Warren,
Speaker 2: which is the number one song in the country and
Speaker 2: was for a very long time. I don't think they
Speaker 2: knew that song though, And and like Robert says later
Speaker 2: on that he uses this, he never figured out the counting,
Speaker 2: which I don't know if that's true or not, but
Speaker 2: he's like, I never I never figured out the counting.
Speaker 2: I had to use a song for the I used
Speaker 2: the music and I don't know this song? So how
Speaker 2: are we going to do this? And like it's it's
Speaker 2: an incredible challenge.
Speaker 1: I I.
Speaker 2: I was trying to do it, but I think, well,
Speaker 2: so first up is Alex in Val. Yes, they selected
Speaker 2: Blindfolded a chachat to Where Is My Husband? By Ray,
Speaker 2: which is a very fun song and uh, actually you
Speaker 2: know what they pointed. People were pointing this out online
Speaker 2: that the song was interesting because I don't think Alex's
Speaker 2: boyfriend has been to a taping the whole.
Speaker 1: This is the first one.
Speaker 2: I don't think No, I don't think he was there.
Speaker 1: He wasn't he was in the package.
Speaker 2: She was in the package. I know she had a boyfriend.
Speaker 1: What do you mean? You know I came into this
Speaker 1: not knowing who she was. But then, thank you Instagram,
Speaker 1: I went down the rabbit hole dancing with the stars.
Speaker 1: I love her now, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And he's a he's an NFL player,
Speaker 2: which is the season is going on, so I you know,
Speaker 2: I understand if you can't take time off to come
Speaker 2: to LA to watch her dance. But everyone was pointing
Speaker 2: out like, oh, it's interesting she danced to where is
Speaker 2: my husband when her husband or her boyfriend has been
Speaker 2: absent for the entire season.
Speaker 1: Interesting? And this is her second athlete that she's been with.
Speaker 1: How does that happen in life? I've never dated an
Speaker 1: athlete or a musician? Really, no, Like, how do you like,
Speaker 1: how does that happen? Like it's not like she's single,
Speaker 1: like singling out like I want to date a famous athlete?
Speaker 1: Or is that like on her that on her manifestation
Speaker 1: mood board? Who knows? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Does she hang out with athletes? Like?
Speaker 1: How?
Speaker 2: I wonder how that works anyway, we got to see
Speaker 2: her fringe parts came back on yep, an incredible dance,
Speaker 2: perfect score. I loved it. I was like, oh, she
Speaker 2: she I'm again. I'm like, I want her to win
Speaker 2: this so badly. I think she has a chance to win.
Speaker 2: But if I had to put money down like everyone
Speaker 2: else in Vegas did, it would be on Robert, which
Speaker 2: said uh. Then we move on to Dylan and Daniella,
Speaker 2: who chose a Fox Trot to Ordinary by Alex Warren.
Speaker 2: And something I enjoy is when they go up to
Speaker 2: like get their assignments, they're both wearing robes and you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I liked to think. I was watching
Speaker 2: like I wonder, very I won't have to just naked
Speaker 2: under there. This is kind of fun. It was fun
Speaker 2: to see. It looked like they were coming out of
Speaker 2: like a spa or something.
Speaker 1: It was fun and we're thinking that what.
Speaker 2: Is going on under the robe? I want to know,
Speaker 2: un wrapped.
Speaker 1: So that is the robe they give every contestant for
Speaker 1: the season. Each season they have a different rope, so
Speaker 1: like I have mine up here. Up here, that's so
Speaker 1: fun upstairs, my Dancing with the Stars, and it has
Speaker 1: like you're name on and whatever, and yeah, so you
Speaker 1: have that robe.
Speaker 2: When you did Mass Singer, they did, they give you
Speaker 2: a hoodie that says, don't talk to me. I I
Speaker 2: thought that was so cool and I Jana Kramer, who
Speaker 2: did one of the latest seasons, posted about it and
Speaker 2: I told her how much I loved that hoodie and
Speaker 2: I thought it was so cool, and she gave me
Speaker 2: her hoodie. I have my mask singer hoodie and now
Speaker 2: and now I got to get my hands on one
Speaker 2: of these robes. That's my next goal.
Speaker 1: You want my robe.
Speaker 2: I don't want to take a robe from your toy
Speaker 2: that belongs to the Smithsonian. You kidding me? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: don't Felderman get his robe.
Speaker 1: He'll give it to you.
Speaker 2: Uh so, Yeah. Next up Dylan and Daniella they fox Trot.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one.
Speaker 2: It's hard and five minutes to prepare. You know. The
Speaker 2: whole season they keep saying Daniella is a ferrari. You know,
Speaker 2: you got to be the leading man, but it's so
Speaker 2: hard because she's such a powerful dancer. And I could
Speaker 2: see that come right back with this one. I felt
Speaker 2: like Daniella was leading this. He was carrying it. I
Speaker 2: thought that it was I thought that it was good,
Speaker 2: but also I'm like, oh, he's not He's just doing
Speaker 2: what she's telling him to do. The judges loved it.
Speaker 2: They went crazy. I believe, you know, I gotta look ahead.
Speaker 2: I think this is the beginning of where every single
Speaker 2: dance is a perfect ten from here on out. Oh
Speaker 2: there's one. There is one dance that is not a
Speaker 2: perfect ten for the rest of the show, one or two.
Speaker 1: But I mean this instant dance. You really, this is
Speaker 1: where the celebrity has to completely just trust their pro yes,
Speaker 1: because they are either saying it out loud to them,
Speaker 1: reminding them like you know, like foxtrot, like this move
Speaker 1: that move, squeezing their hand, pushing, guiding them. Obviously, it's
Speaker 1: easier for the male professionals to guide their female The
Speaker 1: females are with men and they have to like where
Speaker 1: Daniella and yeah, she is a powerhouse, so no doubt.
Speaker 1: She was just like, just trust me and let's go.
Speaker 2: After their dan After Dylan and Danielle, I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my, I wrote down, like, you know, I was
Speaker 2: convinced it was gonna be Robert and now I'm not
Speaker 2: so sure. I wonder. I'm like, there's a chance because
Speaker 2: Robert's first dance was not that great, and I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, maybe I'm wrong. Like I could see
Speaker 2: Dylan waiting this thing now like everyone's loving him tonight.
Speaker 1: This is where I thought the same thing talk about
Speaker 1: this wild ride. I was like, oh wait, he could
Speaker 1: take it.
Speaker 2: It's all going to come down to the fan votes,
Speaker 2: but everyone's just getting perfect scorests up. Elena and Allen
Speaker 2: dancing a quick step to you Can't Hurry Love. She
Speaker 2: she missed a couple moves and it wasn't perfect. But
Speaker 2: something I liked about the dance that is I was
Speaker 2: watching her face and you can tell she's having so
Speaker 2: much fun. Yeah, she was having so much fun, which
Speaker 2: just made me happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then I'm sorry I got so fixated on this,
Speaker 2: but after their dance, I heard Alfonso say head on
Speaker 2: up to the AT and T Skybox, and I was like,
Speaker 2: has this thing been sponsored the whole time? And I
Speaker 2: just am now noticing or is this just for the finale?
Speaker 2: And it was sponsored by AT and T at least
Speaker 2: last night, so you know, we got to see the
Speaker 2: AT and T Skybox. He ain't called that every time,
Speaker 2: but I did I know that. So they did not
Speaker 2: get a perfect score. They got straight nines for this one.
Speaker 2: And you know, she's having fun. That's what this is about.
Speaker 2: We're having fun and we're learning how to dance. Robert
Speaker 2: Irwin and Whitney Carson at chaw Chaw to Cake by
Speaker 2: the Ocean by d Nce. I he.
Speaker 1: What this is? Where I thought? I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe we all have this wrong and he can't dance
Speaker 1: unless he's perfect trained for each I thought he he
Speaker 1: didn't do great in this like he. I thought so too, okay,
Speaker 1: but they got sons.
Speaker 2: They did, and that's when I was like, what the
Speaker 2: hell is going on here? Because I wrote down like
Speaker 2: he says in the package, like I don't have I
Speaker 2: don't know how the counts work. I have to use
Speaker 2: the music and I don't know the song.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And watching the dance I can see he was like
Speaker 2: visually checking in with Whitney so much like is this right?
Speaker 2: Is this right?
Speaker 1: And like, oh, you know how he's checking in After
Speaker 1: he dragged her across the dance floor, I mean now
Speaker 1: and now it was like reversal of like power. He
Speaker 1: was like, oh help me, I got nothing here.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's but you know, obviously I was wrong because.
Speaker 1: They I was wrong too. They got all tens, they.
Speaker 2: Got straight tense and you know, I don't want to
Speaker 2: rag on Julian have too much, but I did find
Speaker 2: it very funny that Confetti went in front of the
Speaker 2: teleprompter and she did not know what to do and
Speaker 2: I felt bad for her, but she I missed that.
Speaker 2: There's a part where when she's talking to them in
Speaker 2: the skybox after they get their perfect tens, they shoot
Speaker 2: the confetti cannons yet again and she's like, there's a
Speaker 2: glittering front of the prompter. Well I missed that, and
Speaker 2: I was like, what was the prompter saying back to you? Sorry?
Speaker 2: I thought that was funny, And next up.
Speaker 1: Into a pan at that point, yes, go on, yeah exactly. Uh.
Speaker 2: Jordan and Ezra our final instant dance. They chose a
Speaker 2: tango to I Like It by a Lesso and Nate Smith,
Speaker 2: and uh, it was good. I was excited to see Ezrad.
Speaker 2: I'm just excited to see Ezra in the finals. You know,
Speaker 2: he seems so pumped on this. That was just fun
Speaker 2: to see him do every part of this.
Speaker 1: So that was cool.
Speaker 2: Great, they were hoping for a tango. They got the tango.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Really good footwork, cool kick move. They're great, much better
Speaker 2: than the first dance. I thought they got perfect tens
Speaker 2: uh and then the final round.
Speaker 1: At this point in this three hour show, I'm like,
Speaker 1: just get to the freestyle. This is all freestyle.
Speaker 2: Yes, I can do.
Speaker 1: Without the instant dance. If they want to cut an
Speaker 1: hour out, I'm just saying, next year, do you know agree?
Speaker 2: Do you know? I like I liked the instant dance
Speaker 2: because I thought, I don't know how you know, real
Speaker 2: it was, but I liked the idea that like, oh,
Speaker 2: let's see how well they can do this with no prep,
Speaker 2: Like do they really have it? Or is this just
Speaker 2: like I don't know, I kind of liked. I kind
Speaker 2: of like the instant dance. I think if we make
Speaker 2: it shorter, I'm sorry, but I think we just get
Speaker 2: I want less uh less little packages and to remember
Speaker 2: the you know. But it was also fun to see
Speaker 2: everybody from from earlier in the season the freestyle again.
Speaker 2: Everyone's been looking forward to this all season. This is
Speaker 2: the big one. This is so it seems like there's
Speaker 2: no limits to this dance.
Speaker 1: Right, This is where you see crazy moves whatever, like
Speaker 1: the celebs they're are best suited for. This is the
Speaker 1: dance they're pro just jams at pack with.
Speaker 2: There's like crazy props and costumes and backup dancer. It
Speaker 2: was so cool.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where my kids, because they don't
Speaker 1: watch this consistently, they watched you know me on the
Speaker 1: you know where I got Illuminade and they came to
Speaker 1: the finale, but they were just like, why are there
Speaker 1: so many backup dancers? I'm so distracted. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: because this is the big one. I was like, you're
Speaker 1: gonna see props, You're gonna this is they pull out
Speaker 1: all the big guns here and they were like, we
Speaker 1: just want to see her dance.
Speaker 2: I love it. I think it's so cool. I got excite,
Speaker 2: so fun. I mean yeah, this first one from Alex
Speaker 2: and Val they danced to. It was a mix of
Speaker 2: Man Eater by Nelly Fortado and sports Car by Tate McCray.
Speaker 2: And this was a music video. I mean this was
Speaker 2: like she jumped off a seal structure. She had the
Speaker 2: crazy outfit.
Speaker 1: This was the matrix moves with that yes, with that costume,
Speaker 1: I was like, it was a chills I was crying.
Speaker 1: I was shouting. I was like those boots. I was
Speaker 1: like this, she is it? Sorry?
Speaker 2: It was yeah, so bad.
Speaker 1: Even though I knew you wanted it from the beginning
Speaker 1: with her, but like this, at this moment when I
Speaker 1: saw it, I was like they must win.
Speaker 2: Yes, And at that point I was like, oh god,
Speaker 2: this is I mean, she's had perfet Every dance has
Speaker 2: been a perfect ten, so she's got a I want
Speaker 2: her to wait so bad. But yeah, oh well it was.
Speaker 2: It was so great. I can't wait. I want to
Speaker 2: watch this dance again. It was just so I loved
Speaker 2: it so much. Dylan and Daniella dancing to Something in
Speaker 2: the Heavens by Lewis Capaldi. He did this really cool
Speaker 2: handstand that I thought was cool. He picked up so
Speaker 2: at one point he like throws Danielle in the air
Speaker 2: and then kind of catches her. And then right after
Speaker 2: that she does this like running jump at him from
Speaker 2: the stage and carter again.
Speaker 1: You saw the package, right, yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, And also I would be afraid if
Speaker 2: I were Dylan because she's already broken his nose once.
Speaker 2: Is this gonna happen again? There's so much like velocity
Speaker 2: coming at him from Daniella. Uh, this was a great
Speaker 2: dance too. They they they have water at the end
Speaker 2: of it. It was it was cool. I loved it
Speaker 2: this episode.
Speaker 1: I had just watched Alex and Baal and I'm like,
Speaker 1: they must win, And then I watched the freestyle with
Speaker 1: Tone and Daniella crying championing him, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: here I go on this ride. He must win now
Speaker 1: on behalf of everyone, like he is our champion.
Speaker 2: I don't know, champion, Yes, yeah, what a I mean,
Speaker 2: you said it best. But what a roller coaster this
Speaker 2: this finale. It's really you know, it's funny because we
Speaker 2: we went into this whole thing kind of knowing who
Speaker 2: was going to win at the very first episode, but
Speaker 2: but we still were unsure at the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so uh yeah, this it was great.
Speaker 2: And the you know what made me emotional was hearing
Speaker 2: Bruno talk about this dance. That made this was the
Speaker 2: second time I cried. Was he he said something. Let
Speaker 2: me see if we have the exact quote here, but
Speaker 2: he said, uh, it was beautiful and poetic. You've captured
Speaker 2: the elusive qualities of a dream, beautiful imagery I will
Speaker 2: never forget. And that I was like, what A like
Speaker 2: if you take out everything that this is a competition
Speaker 2: show and is a reality show and there's like a
Speaker 2: trophy and everything, but like just people learning to express
Speaker 2: themselves through dance and to create these images and express
Speaker 2: this these emotions. I just I was like, what a
Speaker 2: It was just a beautiful way to to summer. I
Speaker 2: is what what we're watching here? And I was like,
Speaker 2: this is this is art that we're experiencing, and it's
Speaker 2: so fun to.
Speaker 1: Watch art that's It's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2: So before we move on to Elaine and Allen, we
Speaker 2: get to see a dance from last year the Raining
Speaker 2: Mirrorball Champions their last few moments as the reigning champions,
Speaker 2: Jenny Johnson and Joey grazz a day and they did
Speaker 2: a little dance that was fun to watch. It's fun
Speaker 2: to watch him like rehearse after having not danced for
Speaker 2: probably a year. Yeah, and uh and but the thing
Speaker 2: I really loved about this moment was I don't know
Speaker 2: how I was trying to describe it to my wife,
Speaker 2: but there's a there's a like a little clip that
Speaker 2: they play before every dancer that they filmed at the
Speaker 2: very beginning they're all in like the blue suit like
Speaker 2: wardrobe and yeah, it's like Dylan and Danielle like playing
Speaker 2: with like with a disco ball with mirball. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: they before Jenna and Joey performed or did dance, they
Speaker 2: played the one from last season that they had filmed,
Speaker 2: so like Joey's hair is like really like they look
Speaker 2: different because it's from a year ago. And I just
Speaker 2: thought that was kind of fun that they broke that
Speaker 2: out of the old hard drive and play that little club.
Speaker 1: So there's a promo shoot that we all do before
Speaker 1: we even start the show. That's the first day, like
Speaker 1: we've met our partners. We maybe rehearsed one or two
Speaker 1: days and everything, and then we do this promo shoot
Speaker 1: where you're like all dulled up and pretending to do stuff,
Speaker 1: the mirror ball and all that.
Speaker 2: So it's first. I just think it's it's fun to
Speaker 2: break out that old that that call so Elaine Hendricks
Speaker 2: and all and Burston, Oh my god, this one was.
Speaker 2: I thought this was so fun. I loved this.
Speaker 1: It was fun.
Speaker 2: They dance to I hope I get it from a
Speaker 2: chorus line, which.
Speaker 1: I'm a big chorus line girl. So I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: you know, my kids are like this. I'm like, don't
Speaker 1: worry about it.
Speaker 2: This was so rad This was Broadway. I mean, this
Speaker 2: is a blown play. It was crazy. It was oh
Speaker 2: my god, like the sets, the costumes, Uh, the costume, all.
Speaker 1: Of the actors, like all the other contestants.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Andy playing the director. It was what
Speaker 2: a fun thing to watch.
Speaker 1: Just oh sorry, just to start it off, they go,
Speaker 1: it's like you're going in for the audition, and it
Speaker 1: was so the metaphor of her partner is Alan, and
Speaker 1: then Alan's real life girlfriend Emma is there, and it's
Speaker 1: Elaine and Emma going up for the role together, the
Speaker 1: oldest one there and then the young partner. I thought
Speaker 1: that was fun.
Speaker 2: Yes, so and uh Lisa and Walter was there as
Speaker 2: the scene behind the desk.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: It was yeah, it was. It was awesome. I just
Speaker 2: loved it. It was so great and it was so good.
Speaker 1: I knew when I watched that freestyle it gave me
Speaker 1: such joy. But I was like, she's I didn't I
Speaker 1: didn't feel she was gonna win at that point. That's
Speaker 1: why that's when it clicked for me, like she's not
Speaker 1: going to win this, but I was fun to watch
Speaker 1: everything about it.
Speaker 2: I'm glad we got to see it. I'm glad we
Speaker 2: got to see that. And then uh, Robert Win and
Speaker 2: Whitney Carson uh showing off these working through this rib injury.
Speaker 2: Get getting very emotional in the in the package dancing
Speaker 2: to Black and Gold, Uh and the Knights black and
Speaker 2: Gold by Sam Sparrow and the Knights by v She
Speaker 2: This this was this was a great dance.
Speaker 1: It was flawless.
Speaker 2: There's a crazy tumble from from Whitney that was really
Speaker 2: fun to watch, great footwork.
Speaker 1: And then I'm brilliant choreographer.
Speaker 2: She really is, She's she is. I mean, she deserves
Speaker 2: this mirror ball. Like I was happy about her winning
Speaker 2: it because she truly deserves it. She and he is
Speaker 2: a great he's a great answer to me, like there's
Speaker 2: extra extra things at play that made it weird, but
Speaker 2: she but they're both incredible dancers. They deserve this win.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Bruno made me cry again that when he said I'm
Speaker 2: gonna cure up saying this when he's like he sees you,
Speaker 2: that was like, I don't know that. That made me
Speaker 2: so emotional, And that was the.
Speaker 1: Point in the program that I started crying again, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm a dick because I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this wild ride and like and then of course, like
Speaker 1: I heard that and I was like, oh, yes, like
Speaker 1: it's not been an easy journey his life, his family's
Speaker 1: life and publicly and it took me back again and
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this is beautiful. He's gonna win it,
Speaker 1: but this he deserves. Like it's so hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so hard, but in credible dance and a
Speaker 2: perfect tens score. Everyone gets perfect tens here. It's it's
Speaker 2: just funny. This is just such a great part of
Speaker 2: the show to watch. And now our final dance more yep.
Speaker 2: Our final dance Jordan and Ezra dancing to bow Down
Speaker 2: by Beyonce and motivation by Normani. Normani, who competed in
Speaker 2: the past on Dancing with the Stars and who joins
Speaker 2: Jordan for the dance. H great use of chainling fences
Speaker 2: in this dance so cool. I I loved it. I
Speaker 2: thought it was it was funny. When Normani joins her,
Speaker 2: I was like, is this okay? Is this allowed to
Speaker 2: have the artist behind the song? But I'm like, it's
Speaker 2: a freestyle and everything's okay. There's definite.
Speaker 1: The last movement of the finaley.
Speaker 2: I had the same thought when when Bindi came out.
Speaker 2: I think it was during I can't remember. It was
Speaker 2: after dedication week. But Robert another dance where his sister
Speaker 2: came out and joined him, and I was like, has
Speaker 2: this okay? How is this fair?
Speaker 1: I'm not saying a word. This is where I got
Speaker 1: publicly attacked in the press. But his fans.
Speaker 2: It was fun to see Normani out there. I'm a
Speaker 2: big Normani fan personally, so that was really fun. And
Speaker 2: Jordan did a she did like a triple spin, which
Speaker 2: I think is like a seven twenty or something or
Speaker 2: maybe I can't remember what the degrees are, but she
Speaker 2: was crazy. I don't know how she's a gymnast, she's
Speaker 2: prepared for this, but like, oh my god, it's just
Speaker 2: so much athleticism and physicality in this dance. It was incredible.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is I feel like I was like
Speaker 1: I couldn't make a decision this whole episode because every time,
Speaker 1: so I'm at this point, I'm like, you know, they're
Speaker 1: not going to make it whatever the first two dances,
Speaker 1: I watched this dance and all of a sudden, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. First of all, I love it, Ezra.
Speaker 1: I'm friends with Ezra. I loved watching him shine. He's
Speaker 1: a brilliant choreographer. This is only his second year as
Speaker 1: a professional in Dancing with the Stars, and he was
Speaker 1: eliminated first last season. He got to go all the
Speaker 1: way this time and create such an amazing freestyle, and
Speaker 1: I was like, look, how brilliant he is. I thought
Speaker 1: she was brilliant. And this is when I changed my
Speaker 1: mind once again, and I stood up and I said, oh, yeah, yeah, guys,
Speaker 1: take it.
Speaker 2: All home, take it home. It was so good.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been mad if they won.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, me either. But then, but then, and
Speaker 2: you know, Carriean agrees with you. She stands up and says,
Speaker 2: that's the best freestyle I have ever seen. Oh, in
Speaker 2: this entire we have.
Speaker 1: To make notes that throughout the show, Carrie Ann gets
Speaker 1: more fired up, and every time she puts her paddle
Speaker 1: up with her score, she's pointing at it and putting
Speaker 1: into the camera like telling the audience this is what
Speaker 1: it should be.
Speaker 2: Did you know that I did doing that? I'm like, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: so here we go. Well, after an incredible round of freestyles.
Speaker 2: Uh did not disappoint at all, exceeded expectations. We now
Speaker 2: have to get to the final elimination, themate elimination, the winner,
Speaker 2: and my god, did they drag this out. They teased
Speaker 2: it so much. They went to commercial break two different times.
Speaker 2: It was crazy. So they go to break, we come.
Speaker 1: Back, they announced, Yeah, it goes so there's lights everywhere
Speaker 1: on everyone, and as you're announced eliminated, like fifth place,
Speaker 1: fourth place, it just goes dark on you. Yes, and
Speaker 1: having in there in person, it is palpitable, like you
Speaker 1: watch it and you're just like.
Speaker 3: You feel it, but you feel it through the TV
Speaker 3: as well. Yes, So okay, fifth place, Elaine and.
Speaker 1: Alan, Elaine and Allen, it goes dark. Were you shocked?
Speaker 2: Now? I was not shocked at that point. I was
Speaker 2: they'd done so well. But I was like, at this point,
Speaker 2: I think Elaine's gonna be the first to go.
Speaker 1: You did me?
Speaker 2: I thought it was either me, Elaine or George, even
Speaker 2: with that incredible freestyle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I want to know what place we would
Speaker 1: put them in. It's our final show. Yeah, when that
Speaker 1: went out, I was like, okay, I really loved her
Speaker 1: and championed her, but I guess, yeah, someone's got to
Speaker 1: go first in this there we go.
Speaker 2: I yeah, I would. I would have put her that
Speaker 2: I was aligned with that. Fourth place, however, I would
Speaker 2: have changed.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm gonna take you through my timeline real quick.
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop what was happening live and I couldn't stop.
Speaker 1: The meat loaf was done, the timer was going off.
Speaker 1: I freaked out. My brain couldn't think fast enough to
Speaker 1: say pause. The TV I ran and I could hear.
Speaker 1: I went back and watched it afterwards. Fourth place, Dylan
Speaker 1: and Daniella. I take the meat loaf out and I
Speaker 1: fumble it and it goes flying No, and it was
Speaker 1: slowm on my head, whoa, like there goes Dinner. It
Speaker 1: was like a football play. I saved it, like it
Speaker 1: didn't go everywhere.
Speaker 2: It was like it.
Speaker 1: Meatloaf was saved. Dylan and Daniel off though I was
Speaker 1: fourd he is America's champion. How could they put him
Speaker 1: in fourth? He should have been third?
Speaker 2: I I agree, I agree completely. I'm sorry, but I
Speaker 2: would have put Jordan in fourth. Jordan and Ezra. That
Speaker 2: was crazy And at this point, I mean, you're looking
Speaker 2: at the final like everyone's only a couple of points
Speaker 2: away from each other in terms of the judges' scores.
Speaker 2: This is entirely audience voting at this point. I think
Speaker 2: that determining the winner is what I what I think.
Speaker 2: I don't know for sure, but that's what it seems
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 1: Uh so, which surprised me because West Coast does not
Speaker 1: vote based on the performance. They have to vote just
Speaker 1: who they like best. They haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 2: It just anyway, it's crazy, it's it's, yes, a major
Speaker 2: flaw with this system, but this is how it is.
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, I'm curious. How did the voting
Speaker 2: work when it was on Disney Plus? Like, do you
Speaker 2: remember the year maybe it was? Was it not your
Speaker 2: was it your season? There was a no, maybe it
Speaker 2: was before. There's a couple of seasons where it was
Speaker 2: on Disney Plus and wasn't on ABC.
Speaker 1: You remember this? I didn't want to live during that time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how the voting worked because like or was it
Speaker 2: the same? And they just went if you were on
Speaker 2: these coasts, you just or West Coast you just couldn't
Speaker 2: watch it and it wouldn't stream until a certain time.
Speaker 2: But I gotta I gotta look that up. Interesting anyway,
Speaker 2: third place Jordan, Chiles and Azrisosa. I would have I
Speaker 2: would have put I would have put Dylan there. We
Speaker 2: would have swapped them. But also, you know, exciting for
Speaker 2: Jordan to get so close, yeah to winning. She was
Speaker 2: saying that a mirror ball is a bigger deal to
Speaker 2: her than a gold medal, which blew my mind because
Speaker 2: that's the highest achievement you can get as an athlete.
Speaker 2: But she wanted this dancing trophy.
Speaker 1: On a uh and put in.
Speaker 2: You know, just call it like it like I see it.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then before they got down. So now we have
Speaker 2: the last two, Alex and Robert, and they go to
Speaker 2: another commercial break, uh and uh we have to We're
Speaker 2: sitting there just I'm going, oh my god, who is
Speaker 2: it going to be?
Speaker 1: Were you looking they're like body language between the two couples.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes I was, And I was trying to figure
Speaker 2: out because they're they're staying on either side of Alfonso
Speaker 2: and Julianne. I think Julianne has the card with the winner,
Speaker 2: and I was trying to see if you. I interviewed
Speaker 2: Clay Aiken a few months ago and he and I
Speaker 2: asked him about how did it feel when you learn
Speaker 2: you got second place to Ruben stuttered on American Idol
Speaker 2: and he said, when Seacrest opened the card, I looked
Speaker 2: over and I could see it, so I like three.
Speaker 2: He's like, if you go back and watch the tape,
Speaker 2: you can see I start to smirk and then I
Speaker 2: like grab Ruben's shoulder or something like he knew, like
Speaker 2: you know, three seconds before it was announced, and I
Speaker 2: was I was watching to see if like one of
Speaker 2: them could see. They both had their eyes closed.
Speaker 3: Right, everyone closes their eyes like yeah, And what a moment,
Speaker 3: Like what a what a few seconds.
Speaker 1: I was shaking because I knew what was about to happen.
Speaker 1: And all I kept doing is looking at Vowel's face,
Speaker 1: and I was like, he knew, don't you think he
Speaker 1: knew in his heart? He's like it's not gonna be
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be us, and he was just smiling
Speaker 1: like you know, like it's it's okay. Alex did too,
Speaker 1: didn't she?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think they did.
Speaker 1: We all know.
Speaker 2: And before they announced that we get to hear once
Speaker 2: again how many people voted one of and they said
Speaker 2: one of the closest finales of all time, the Gap
Speaker 2: between them was just a few.
Speaker 1: They say mere votes. They say that every season.
Speaker 2: I know, I like to think that it was. I
Speaker 2: voted ten times for Alex Earl, so I wanted to
Speaker 2: make sure my voice was heard. And then we find
Speaker 2: out the winner is Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson. I
Speaker 2: heard someone on TikTok say this, the Irwin Empire has begun.
Speaker 2: He the second win. I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 2: this has been done before. There's two mirrorballs in a
Speaker 2: family and in a in a immediate family. That's like crazy.
Speaker 1: The Irwin Empire has begun. That is wild. I believe
Speaker 1: that is correct. I believe in ten years from now
Speaker 1: it's going to be like Kardashian who wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, well I'm going to go back and listen
Speaker 2: to our first episode and see what we say about
Speaker 2: because I have a memory of both of the same.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Robert Owen's going to win this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same, ok.
Speaker 2: We gotta find that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, any clip a clip reel of just us every
Speaker 1: episode he's going to win.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, so he's clearly with the winner here.
Speaker 2: But it's so fun to watch. This has been so
Speaker 2: much fun doing this. I'm gonna I'm going to miss this.
Speaker 1: What happens?
Speaker 2: Are we going to do this again next year? Are
Speaker 2: we going to do it again next year?
Speaker 1: We have to, Yes, next season.
Speaker 2: Yes again. It was a blast.
Speaker 1: Oh this is our last chance for this season to
Speaker 1: say it. Are you ready to miss step out of here?
Speaker 2: I'm ready. I love you, I love you too,
