00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: It's time for another episode of Danielle with I am

2
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: your host, Danielle Fischel, TV director, podcaster, mother of two

3
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: and from the years nineteen ninety three to two thousand

4
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: and then again from twenty fourteen to twenty seventeen, I

5
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: orbited the world of family sitcom, playing the character to

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Panga Lawrence, first as a teen and then as a

7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: poorly explained adult. But if you have been keeping up

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: with pop culture these days, you may know me as

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: one of the season thirty four contestants on the water

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: cooler phenomenon that is Dancing with the Stars. Though I

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: was eliminated on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night,

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: or as I like to call it, the night Flave

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: of Flave wanted us to know what he was saying.

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: I have continued to record this podcast, giving listeners a

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: front row seat to my own dancing journey, even if

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: it was cut short, and in the process, I've been

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: chatting with fellow celebs, genius pros, past participants, and crucial

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: behind the scenes contributors in hopes that it could forever

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: immortalize the year I tried to win a Len Goodman

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Mirror Ball Trophy, and this week I am sitting with

21
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: a very special person, a fellow Dancing with the Stars

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: competitor who has quickly become a very close friend and

23
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: one of the best results of my decision to do

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: this show. She's a founding member of mom Talk, a

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: social media tornado or originating in Utah consisting of Mormon

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: mom creators who first took TikTok by storm and then

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: transformed it into a hit Hulu reality show. The Secret

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Lives of Mormon Wives just kicked off its third season

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: this past Monday night, during the same week that she

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: avoided Dancing with the Star's elimination to enter the semifinals

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: alongside her partner Mark Ballas, where arguably she has become

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: the best celebrity dancer to ever do the show, and

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: I will make that argument, Oh go back. I invited

34
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: her to the show today to one spend some time

35
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: with her during an incredibly busy schedule, and two to

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: hopefully introduce you to the Whitney I have gotten to

37
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: know over the past three months, a kind, supportive soul

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: who turned casual, funny TikTok Dances into a larger than

39
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: life celebrity brand she never saw coming. All the while

40
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: she's earnestly worked through the good the bad in real time,

41
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: with the cameras always running. Please welcome to Danielle with

42
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: Whitney Lovitt.

43
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm so honored, so happy here too.

44
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: You were saying, you haven't done this in a while,

45
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: this whole being interviewed thing.

46
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, the last time I did it, it was in

47
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: New York and it was promoting the last season that

48
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: we did. Okay, I haven't done any press for the

49
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: season that's coming out too.

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I know. I did notice that I'd seen everyone else

51
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: have little clips and you just haven't done it. Is

52
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: it mostly because you have no time, because you've given

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: up your entire life to dancing with the.

54
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: Stars, to living in a studio twenty four to seven.

55
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, and like obviously people have asked, but it

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: can be exhausting. Yeah, Like sometimes you just feel like

57
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: you're saying the same thing over and over and over again.

58
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: So I think I just kind of needed a little

60
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: bit of a beat.

61
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: A break is maybe saying no one of the ways

62
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: you're learning to protect your peace a little bit.

63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, Because I am such a yes man. I

64
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: want to say to everything, like I always have this

65
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: fear of like a missed opportunity. Right, but no, with

66
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: press and podcasts, I've I've been saying.

67
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: No more, Yeah, saying no more. Be guesse what.

68
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm like, I can't today. I'm sorry. I'm gonna

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: take a bubble bath.

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Your poor feet. Every time I think of the struggles

71
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: on this show. I mean, I snapped attendant, and yet

72
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: when I think of your feet, I'm like, oh, poor, No,

73
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: you had it.

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: You had it the worst.

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: When you walked in our room and showed us your leg.

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: I genuinely turned the mark and I'm like.

77
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: Why is she here?

78
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: What is that?

79
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: What is that?

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: Call?

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: Nine one one? Your leg?

82
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Dear god.

83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: I was scared for you, and I hid it from

84
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: production as much as possible because I was so First

85
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: of all, was so early on, Yeah I had I

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: was like that was week three, Yeah, week two. I

87
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: actually injured it during the during my first tango a

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: week and then when it was like very bad was

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: during week two when I had my chat chat and

90
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: it was like, make sure your knee is straight, and like,

91
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: can't feel my kneecap, It's just floating in a bunch

92
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: of fluid.

93
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: My mom's just like I didn't see it. I couldn't

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: say it. I was like, that's because they literally lathered

95
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: it with it.

96
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: Makeup covered it, and yeah is a body makeup genius

97
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: and spray can Yeah, thank goodness for spray Tann. But anyway,

98
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: I want to talk. I want to go back to you.

99
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: I want to go back to Utah for.

100
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: A second ago.

101
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: What was growing up in Utah like for you? After

102
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: being on Dancing with the Stars, I'm convinced all of

103
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: Utah is just dancing in the streets. I'm just like,

104
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: is everyone there an incredible dancer?

105
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: Yeah? There's a lot of competitive dance studios there. Yeah, yeah,

106
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: which is so funny. Most of the pros are from Utah.

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of dance studios.

108
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: I just feel like in general Utah like there's this

109
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: weird like you gotta be the best culture and so

110
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: I think it's like with anything, Like I love the

111
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: beauty industry there, I love anything. Always make fun of Mark.

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: I'm like, Utah has like it's better in Utah. You

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: need to go to Utah.

114
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: Like if he's drinking a drink, I'm like, it's better

115
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: in Utah.

116
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: It's so funny. Utah is the version of like it's

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: bigger in Texas. It's just there, you go, Yeah, like

118
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: everything's big in Texas. Every thing's great in Utah.

119
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: Like getting like my hair done, my makeup done, like shopping,

120
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: like I just I don't know, I just love it.

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: It's so yeah.

122
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just think it's a very like you

123
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 3: got to be the best culture, which is also like

124
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: it has its negative connotations with it too, like there's

125
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: pure pressure to be perfect and to always appear like

126
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: you've got it all together. Yeah, I felt like I

127
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: grew up in a bubble for sure.

128
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: Do you think that is related to Utah or do

129
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: you think it's more specifically to the LDS community.

130
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: Both?

131
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: Okay?

132
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 3: Because I served a mission of the church in Atlanta, Georgia.

133
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: Do you know what a mission is?

134
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: I sure do?

135
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: You'd be such a great Mormon?

136
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: Are?

137
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

138
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: I am? This is a missionary lesson right now?

139
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: Do you want to tell our listeners because I think

140
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: there are going to be people listening to this who

141
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: have never seen the secret lives of Mormon wives.

142
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: So you don't have.

143
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: To go on a mission, yep, Like it's option. But

144
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: I went and I served a mission. It's for the women.

145
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: It's a year and a half for minutes, two years,

146
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: and you don't get to choose where you go. Yep,

147
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: that's chosen for you. And I went to Atlanta, Georgia,

148
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: and that was the first time where yes, I still

149
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: was surrounded by Mormons, but not in Utah. And culturally

150
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: it's just different, like I don't know why, it's just

151
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: like it's like on steroids in Utah. And it's a

152
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: lot more of a judgmental culture. And again like that perfectionism,

153
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: like you have to appear like you've got it all together.

154
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: I just didn't really, I mean still there, yeah, in Mormonism,

155
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: but it's less I feel like outside of Utah.

156
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Right, So when you go on a mission, you are

157
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: truly I mean unless it's different for I know, the men,

158
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: it's door to door yeah, oh yeah, spreading the word

159
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: and would knock on doors, knock on doors?

160
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: Is that?

161
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: Is it the same thing for And it's like from

162
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: the moment you wake up until the time it's time

163
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: for dinner, all day every day. Yeah, for a year

164
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: and a half. Yeah. And where are you living and

165
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: are you living with other missionaries?

166
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

167
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: So you get once you get called to like the

168
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: state or the city. Then you get called to an

169
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: area and in that area, typically you're going to be.

170
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: You always have the calm companions.

171
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: You're always paired of the companion, just like a dance partner,

172
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: right right, You're paired with the dance partner and you're there.

173
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: You're with them for a certain amount of time.

174
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: Again, not up to you, up to whoever your mission

175
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: president is, okay, but usually it's you and your companion,

176
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: and usually you have someone another companionship there too. It's

177
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: very rarely just you and that other person.

178
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: So how did going to Georgia on your mission and

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: seeing a totally different culture outside of Utah, how did

180
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: it change you?

181
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 3: Well, it definitely was culture shot. I learned a lot

182
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: about Christianity, Christianity in general, which was really refreshing to

183
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: me because I just felt like everyone was Mormon. I

184
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 3: genuinely believed that, like because everyone in my elementary school,

185
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 3: everyone in my junior high, everyone in my high school

186
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: was Mormon. So I just like had that assumption that

187
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: majority of the.

188
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: World we're all Mormon.

189
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: We're all Mormon.

190
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so then going to Georgia, I was like, oh,

191
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: my gosh, Like, wait a second.

192
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: How come there are so many?

193
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: So many more?

194
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: It was bizarre, like because I've obviously like I've watched movies,

195
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: like I watched the news, like I just had that mindset. Yeah,

196
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: so weird, but yeah, I just I learned a lot

197
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: about Christianity. I learned a lot about the Bible, and

198
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: just like culture in general. It was very refreshing.

199
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: And then when you went back, so you're usually it's

200
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: around eighteen, right, so from like eighteen to nineteen and

201
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: a half. Oh wait, wait, do you like age eighteen?

202
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: Were you eighteen?

203
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: So eighteen for men, nineteen for women?

204
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so little for women.

205
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: It used to be twenty one.

206
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 3: You still had to be twenty one to go on

207
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: a mission, but my group of the missionaries were the

208
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: first nineteen year olds.

209
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: Oh look at you and freaking barriers.

210
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: Wow.

211
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: So then meeting history, Yeah, there you go. You come,

212
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: you go back to Utah, and are you mission? After

213
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: your mission? Yeah, so you're like twenty and a half

214
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: because it's a year and a half, so yeah, twenty

215
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: and a half, yeah, almost twenty one? Are you how

216
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: has it changed your perception of life in general? Are

217
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: you still like are you currently still a practicing Mormon.

218
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'd still consider myself Mormon.

219
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: I like haven't been as active as I would like

220
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: to be, but yeah, if somebody asked me to be like, yeah,

221
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 3: yeah Mormon, I practice Mormonism, right, Yeah.

222
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting I And you know, so I was told you,

223
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: I would tell you. I grew up. My best friend

224
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: in elementary school was Mormon. Her dad was the bishop

225
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: of the Mormon Church. And you know, Sundays are sacred

226
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: family days. My best friend and I were so close.

227
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: We used to like to spend our entire weekends together,

228
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: and her family would say, you can spend Sundays with us,

229
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: but you have to go to church with us. So

230
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: I grew up pretty regularly spending time. Really yeah in

231
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: the Mormon Church.

232
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: That's so cool.

233
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: What did you think it was so long? It's you know,

234
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: it's hour.

235
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: They changed it. It's not only two, so they're they're learning.

236
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: I remember, because you know, I grew I went to

237
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: Catholic church with my family before my family left. The

238
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: left the Catholic Church, and I thought Catholic church was long.

239
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, because how long is it?

240
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: You our hour? Hour and a half. But there were

241
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: donuts after and then I remember going to church with

242
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: them and being like, and then you're separated. You know,

243
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: the parents go to their part of the church, and

244
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen at Catholic church.

245
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: We also to the other kids.

246
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: The kids go to their different classes, and so I

247
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: remember also thinking that was where I was like, whoa,

248
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: where are you guys going? And they were like, oh,

272
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 3: Like? So, my my dad's actually a convert to the church.

273
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: Oh so he's like the only Mormon in his family. Okay,

274
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 3: but then my mom very like past past generations, Carmen,

275
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: very very active still to this day. And yeah, there's

276
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: five of us, and my mom was a foster mom.

277
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So I grew up waiting enough foster household. Yeah.

278
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: So, like my mom would take in typically about like

279
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: four to six additional kids in our house.

280
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: So it's like I grew.

281
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: Up with like nine ten people in your house at

282
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: all times.

283
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was chaos.

284
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: Did you have a giant house?

285
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, my mom. You know, my mom and dad,

286
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: we had a pretty big home, okay, and.

287
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I.

288
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: Just well, when I think of my childhood, I just

289
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: think of chaos in that house, right, just because there

290
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: was always somebody coming in, somebody leaving. And sometimes it

291
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: was hard because we would have foster kids stay with

292
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: us that were like five six years so like to me,

293
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: that felt like a sibling, and then they just leave,

294
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: like something happens, and then they got to go to

295
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: a different home or a family member takes them in

296
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: or something. Yeah, it was a very chaotic childhood, like

297
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: just pure chaos in the household because my mom only

298
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: took in teenage girls too.

299
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, wow, I know. And so this started

300
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: when you were how old, like from as long as

301
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: you can remember.

302
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: Well, yes, so so she Okay, I should take that back,

303
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: because she tried to take in kids that were like

304
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: generally our age, okay, but once we were teenagers, it

305
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 3: was just teenage girls. Yeah. So in the beginning, it's

306
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: probably when I was like four years old, and she'd

307
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: taken like one or two kids, and then three kids,

308
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: and then four kids and then five kids, and she

309
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: always wanted to try and keep siblings together too, Like

310
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: if like there was a child and they're like, oh,

311
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 3: like they have there's a sister, And then I was like, oh, absolutely,

312
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: like let's keep the siblings together. So yeah, my whole life,

313
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: Like even after I left home, I think it's been

314
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: only like five or six years that my mom hasn't

315
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: been a foster mom.

316
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: Wow, I know, it's crazy.

317
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean that is such an incredible thing.

318
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she is a woman.

319
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, your mom obviously has such a huge heart, and

320
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: like what to be Like, I have three teenage daughters,

321
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: you know what we should do teenage girls?

322
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: Do you think every day.

323
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: That then helped shape you being a person who's good

324
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: at sharing? Like, how would you describe how that impacted

325
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: who you are as a person and the way you

326
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: think about sharing space with others. Yeah, I feel like

327
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: that would automatically make you more empathetic as a person.

328
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do feel like I'm a very empathetic person.

329
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: You are, and I always want to And it's probably

330
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: because I also want to feel included. I want others

331
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: to feel included as well. Yes, And I think that

332
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: growing up in that space, those traits just naturally kind

333
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: of happened, right, no, I want all of us to

334
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: feel like we're together.

335
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: You know, yes, you are very much that way. Yeah,

336
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: what do you think that church thinks of the show.

337
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: Of the Secret Life Life.

338
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: Yes.

339
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: In the beginning, I feel like the community wasn't excited

340
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: about it because the trailer was pretty raunchy and there's

341
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: a lot of Mormon shows that just like don't really

342
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 3: have a lot of positive outlook. But then I feel

343
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 3: like once the season came out, there was a better

344
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: response because it was like, oh, like it's a bit

345
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 3: refreshing seeing Mormons and all of us are like kind

346
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 3: of at different stages in that faith, some more active

347
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: than others, where I felt like someone who is Mormon

348
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 3: could relate with someone in the cast. And that's the

349
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: response that I saw, was like, oh, like, we're not

350
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: Mormons aren't all perfect. They don't look done up every

351
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 3: single day. Although some people in the cast do loked.

352
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: On, I'm the one that doesn't.

353
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: Some of them.

354
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: Relate to me, you know.

355
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like even watch it, I'm like, which is just

356
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 3: so cathartic, by the way, just bizarre watching yourself back

357
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: on a reality show. But when I did watch it,

358
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, like I feel like a lot

359
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: of people, specifically in the Mormon community and honestly just

360
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: moms in general, could relate to at least one of us.

361
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: Show.

362
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: When you talk about watching yourself back on a reality show.

363
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: It is so cringe, is it? It is so incredibly cringe.

364
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 3: I just cringe the whole time.

365
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: What Okay? So I have had this experience before where

366
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: I have been recorded like something, you know, whatever it is.

367
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: If it's in a video, that's like, say my kids

368
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: are in the video, and then I can hear myself

369
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: in the background and I'm like, I can hear the

370
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: way I say my husband's name, and I'm like, oh,

371
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: I didn't think my bubbling resentment was as obvious in

372
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: my voice as it is now that I hear it

373
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: when I'm like John sad not like you know, like

374
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: and I'll think, ooh, so that's what I sound like.

375
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

376
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: Is it a similar cringe or is it more just like,

377
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I can't believe I felt so comfortable

378
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: being so myself.

379
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

380
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of both, because I'll

381
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: watch it I'm like, oh, why did I say that?

382
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: Right?

383
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: And then sometimes you're just like, what are we even

384
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: talking about. And then other times you're like, I don't

385
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 3: remember it going down.

386
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: That way, right, but that's what happened, or at least

387
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: may have been edited that way. And if you don't

388
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: really remember, you don't know for sure.

389
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: Because it's you're so far removed from it. Yeah, Like

390
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: they come out like the season that's coming out this week,

391
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 3: like that was almost six months ago.

392
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 2: Like that's that's a while ago. A lot happened six

393
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: months that's.

394
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: True, you know that's true. But I did expect with

395
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: the way you were setting that up that it.

396
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: Was going to be like that came out like years ago,

397
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: two years ago.

398
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: I was like, I remember what they did yesterday. I

399
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: want to explain into what mom talk is because I

400
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I've never seen an episode of Secret Lives

401
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: and Mormon Wives.

402
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: Do you want to join.

403
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: Now that you said i'd be a good Mormon? Yeah

404
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: you should. There's a reality show where we see who's

405
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: the best moment.

406
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: It would be you.

407
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: Because everything I do now is have dancing at it.

408
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay. So the idea for mom Talk was

409
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: Taylor's idea originally, right, yes, okay, And she recruited a

410
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: few women to start posting on social media to challenge

411
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: the assumptions people were making about Mormon women.

412
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 3: Well, I think it was it happened more organically, okay,

413
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: where she got some of her friends together just to

414
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 3: get together to make some fun videos. And then it

415
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: started building traction and then more women wanted to be involved,

416
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 3: and so then we all just start getting together and

417
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: it just got bigger and bigger and bigger. Like it

418
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 3: happened very organically. It wasn't like really thought.

419
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: Go out there and accomplish the take the social storm.

420
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: I actually think it was more so like hey, we're

421
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 3: doing this together, let's have some fun. Like we're moms,

422
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: Like you know how you see like those content houses. Yeah,

423
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: it was like, well, we're moms. We're not going to

424
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: have a content house, but maybe we can, but we

425
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: also get.

426
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: Together and have some fun and film content in them.

427
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, and get together and have fun.

428
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: And that's what it was in the beginning.

429
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, And what did you were you involved right

430
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: from the beginning? Yeah? And what did you think of

431
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: the idea?

432
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 3: Oh?

433
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 2: I loved it.

434
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved it.

435
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: I love the camaraderie of it.

436
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 3: I just like I mean, I love making tiktoks, like

437
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: I just so fun, like I just love like yeah,

438
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 3: like I just have so much fun doing it. And

439
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: so it's just like you get these group of women together,

440
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: You've got great food music, Like everybody's just wanting to

441
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: have a good time.

442
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: Like that's what it was and sore having fun.

443
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: Were you doing this like during the week while the

444
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: kids are in school? Are there are the kids going

445
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: to school Monday the ready or a lot of them homeschooled.

446
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: No, a lot of our.

447
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: Kids at the time in the beginning were like babies.

448
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone had like anybody in school.

449
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: This is way more fun than a mommy and me class.

450
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 3: Oh and you know what some people would bring their kids,

451
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, yes, I mean it is like how some

452
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: moms would have just literally had babies and they're like

453
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: just either sleeping on a couch somewhere or someone was

454
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: feeding them like it was so it's so fun.

455
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: It also seems like a great way of like keeping

456
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: postpartum like.

457
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 3: You gus socializing, setting out of the house. Yeah, like

458
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: I always looked forward to it.

459
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: Okay, great, Yeah, when was the first moment you realized

460
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: that this was gaining traction and like this was kind

461
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: of a thing. That mom Talk was a thing.

462
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: Wow, I want to say it was right before the

463
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: swinging scandal. Okay, right before that I was like, well,

464
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: this is getting really big. And then that swinging scandal

465
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 3: happened and then.

466
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: It just exploded.

467
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: Then it just broke the group up. That group chat

468
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: was wild.

469
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: So is the group still fractured from the swinging scandal

470
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: or has there we Yeah, like there's.

471
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 3: Definitely women that would come to these mom Talk events

472
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 3: that just like aren't even affiliated with the show, like

473
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: have like completely separated themselves, Like we'll still see them

474
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: at events and stuff. Yeah, so yeah, like I'd say, absolutely, Okay,

475
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 3: still fractured. Like there's like you have to understand, this

476
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: was like twenty twenty five women that would like I

477
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: genuinely remember one time and I was like, they're twenty

478
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: five moms here right now making many videos. Yes, it's incredible.

479
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: I loved it. So what originally started as you guys

480
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: kind of making videos for your community and are now

481
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: being seen by millions of people around the world, and

482
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: all of your adorable dances and some also maybe questionable

483
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: moments are becoming trending headlines. Did you ever see that coming?

484
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: Did you?

485
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: Did you think ever, hey, I could end up being

486
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: famous because of this.

487
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you.

488
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: No, Okay.

489
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: I purely was excited for the entertainment aspect of it

490
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: on social media of course, Like I had dreams, but

491
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 3: in my mind they always just felt like unobtainable. Yeah,

492
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: but I was just like having fun, Like I didn't

493
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: really think that much into it until we got the

494
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 3: offer for the reality show, where I was like, oh, oh, okay,

495
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: so this is something right.

496
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: It wasn't until then.

497
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: So you mentioned you had dreams. Were your dreams to

498
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: be an entertainer?

499
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: Oh?

500
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: An actor? As singer, a dancer? What?

501
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: What?

502
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: What?

503
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: Did you want to be?

504
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: An actress? An actress? An actress? Absolutely?

505
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 3: Like I I would talk to Connor about it all

506
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: the time, but it just like it just I didn't

507
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: have like the tools for it. Just didn't feel like

508
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: I had like the networking for it. Like I didn't

509
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 3: even know how to start.

510
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: Right, where would I begin this?

511
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? And here we are and here you are.

512
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is like it's really inspiring and

513
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: aspirational that you talk to Connor about it for so

514
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: many years and what did Connor say did?

515
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 3: We always was like you know, like I even remember

516
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 3: like making an actor's access like account and like looking

517
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 3: at the breakdowns and like auditioning just like literally for

518
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 3: anything and everything, and just I didn't have representation at

519
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: the time though, like I didn't really have I didn't

520
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: have a team, Like I was just like kind of

521
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 3: doing it all on my own, no bites, like, but

522
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: I just kept doing it, and Connor was always just like, yeah,

523
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: you just you just keep going, You just keep doing it,

524
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 3: and I'm just like, this is so stupid, Like this

525
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 3: is just such a waste of time, because yeah, like

526
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 3: at one point you're just like, well, if nobody is

527
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 3: saying something, maybe it's not maybe I.

528
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: Don't have it.

529
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe this isn't something.

530
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 3: Made me feel yeah, And then the reality show just

531
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: kind of naturally presented itself, so then all of my

532
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: time and energy went into that.

533
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: But no wonder making all the tiktoks was then so

534
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: fulfilling for you.

535
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 3: Is because it was like it was like my outlet

536
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 3: to entertained correct.

537
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: It was a you got to go perform. I get

538
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: to go do a performance, and you have immediate feedback

539
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: because the second you posted.

540
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 3: Those mom talk earlies will tell you I am crazy

541
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: with my I am I turn into and Mark will

542
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: tell you too, I turned into this director.

543
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: Or I'm like, I've taken this a little too seriously,

544
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: but do it again.

545
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to look like the TikTok my the

546
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: most impressive TikTok I've ever seen anyone do ever in

547
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: my life. You did five what felt like five minutes

548
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: at the People Magazine party.

549
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the group one.

550
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: That one was fun, the group rap that somehow you

551
00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: were able to get you.

552
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: I want to know the organization and that's I went

553
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 3: into that. Okay, this is my type a personality coming

554
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: out because I literally watched it and I.

555
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: Was like, how does anyone know how to do this?

556
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: It felt like I had just watched someone do brain.

557
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 3: I was like, well, I knew it was gonna be

558
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: hard task because the cast is so big, and I mean,

559
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: these are all stars, and I like, we weren't really

560
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: close yet, so I just like wasn't sure what the

561
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: vibes were. You know, first of all, what a great

562
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: freaking cast.

563
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: Like we will talk about that.

564
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: Oh gosh. So I wrote it out in my notes

565
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: app like where I needed go.

566
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 2: I needed each person.

567
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: Bruno was a plus in your shot that was that

568
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: was just a plus, Like that was just a happy

569
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 3: share on top.

570
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I wrote it.

571
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: Out my notes, like this person goes here, this person

572
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: goes here, and then before in the TikTok app you

573
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: can you can record it all and like I already

574
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: have it pre spliced, and then once you go into editing,

575
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: you can replace that one little clip. So I'd have

576
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: it all set and I would know which person was when,

577
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 3: and then I just hit replaced and then you say, hey,

578
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 3: this is your line.

579
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: So this makes sense because I Mark then showed me

580
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: my little place tricks, so because it takes time to

581
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: go back and find me. Yeah, so you do. How

582
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: long does it take you? So like before you're going

583
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: to the people party, you're like figuring out what you're

584
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: gonna wear and you're doing your glam yeah, and you're like,

585
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: I'm doing it while I'm in glam, right, And so

586
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is so boring for everyone except for me.

587
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: So are you you're deciding like Bruno and Danielle. I know,

588
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: Harvy surprised Danielle is going to be from point five

589
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: to one point seven.

590
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: Yes, and I knew I needed to like group people

591
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: together everything to fit everyone and not everyone could have

592
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: a single shot. Right.

593
00:28:59,120 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was fun.

594
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: How you enjoy even that process, like breaking it down

595
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: and figuring it out my thing and it's just because

596
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: I haven't used it enough. My thing is I'm going

597
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: to like why are we talking? No, they're gonna be

598
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: like why is Daniel asking? He's so many questions about TikTok,

599
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: So you do all of that before, that makes sense

600
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: because I could not figure out. It would have taken me.

601
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: It would have taken me the entire I tried to

602
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: do a carousel post on Instagram for my husband's birthday,

603
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: and when I tell you, it took me like three

604
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: and a half hours because I was like, why can't

605
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: I find why.

606
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: Is that picture?

607
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: Oh that's not where that's supposed to go? And then

608
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: you hit back and then somehow something gets deleted, and

609
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: then why do they make you hit a thing like

610
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: you're about ready to delete all your TikTok sake it's new.

611
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: Which I really don't like.

612
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: And they also have like the post to story where

613
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: the draft button is as well. So sometimes you got

614
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: to really because I've done that too, and I'm.

615
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: Like, great, I lost.

616
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've just you have to remember I've done this

617
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: for like I would post three to four times.

618
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: A day, oh Mike, six years ago.

619
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 3: So I just have like a rhythm down right, like

620
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: where I'm just like I know what I need to do,

621
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: and then that's how it works, you know.

622
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Okay, So, yeah, you've got your ten

623
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: thousand hours in TikTok, that's for sure.

624
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: That's right.

625
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: I've never seen the Hulu show, as I told you,

626
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of us who have been

627
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: around for the last three months getting to know you

628
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: are completely shocked to hear that you are the quote

629
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: unquote villain on the show. I don't know how that's possible.

630
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of chatter online that is like

631
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: I don't like the Whitney on Mormon Wives, but I

632
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: love Dancing with the Stars. Whitney. Who is the real Whitney? Oooh?

633
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean this is the thing.

634
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: If someone is following you around every single day, yeah,

635
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: and showing your worst moments, I don't think anyone's going

636
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: to like you. Yeah, I really don't. Yeah, and those

637
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: were some of my worst moments. Yeah, and that's just

638
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: the truth. As someone who wanted to be a performer,

639
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: wanted to be an entertainer. Was there a part of

640
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 3: you who was maybe willing to create worst moments even

641
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: knowing they might end up using this, but where you

642
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 3: were almost playing a character?

643
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: Whitney M.

644
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely think like everybody has this.

645
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: Camera front ye almost like yeah, like I can tell

646
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: like when a camera is in front of me, like

647
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: I almost like, like, I don't know, I tense up

648
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: a bit of a front just naturally happens. It's hard

649
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: to fully authentically be yourself. Yeah, And I don't know.

650
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: I don't think I've met any reality star that would say,

651
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 3: oh yeah, I can just fully be my one self

652
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 3: when there's a camera right there in front of me.

653
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: But did you know maybe while it was going on,

654
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: that you were gonna be And maybe the answer is no,

655
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: I would have never. Did you know maybe that you

656
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: were gonna because of some of the worst moments you

657
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: had that did you think, like, I wonder if they're

658
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: going to use this and I should play it up

659
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: a little bit?

660
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: Ooh No, absolutely not, Okay, No, I did not feel

661
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: that at all.

662
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: It was not fabricated No, Okay.

663
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: No, And I think that's why it was so successful

664
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: God is because like these were genuine friendships that were

665
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: just in real scenarios that happened that were just blown

666
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: out of proportion, right. And I will say, when there

667
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 3: is a camera in front of you in that reality space,

668
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: emotions are naturally heightened. Yeah, And so you know, even

669
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: when I watched back on it, I'm like, well, like,

670
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 3: why did I make that such a big deal. It

671
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: wasn't really that big of a deal. But it just

672
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: like naturally feels that way. It's bizarre, totally.

673
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: I can I can totally see that how you could

674
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: be sitting down having a normal conversation if there wasn't

675
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: a camera in your face, Because you do, you start

676
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: thinking of lots of other things. Is where you're like,

677
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: you just said that and it's on camera, yes, and

678
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 1: what are people are gonna think?

679
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 3: And you just are overthinking and over analyzing and you know,

680
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: because I don't care what anyone says, like, of course

681
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: you want to be liked, you want to be like

682
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 3: you want to be the fan favorite, and I'm just

683
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: not on that.

684
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: Shew.

685
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: That sounds okay, that's okay. I want to talk about

686
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: your prior dance experience. Okay, you graduated BYU with a

687
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: degree in modern dance. Please explain what that means that

688
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: you studied and what was yours?

689
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: This? I studied shapes.

690
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: Modern dance is I mean, have you ever seen a

691
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 3: modern dance before? No? Right now, it's very you know,

692
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: it's it's just a lot more artistic, Okay, is the

693
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 3: best way that I can put it.

694
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: And I think some people would think it's weird.

695
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: Right, I know. I know when Mark was telling me.

696
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: Mark at one point was like, I mean she has

697
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: a dream in modern dance. What's this?

698
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: Which is this? Yeah? I was like what, Yeah, just

699
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: like weird shapes?

700
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 3: No, Like I I absolutely loved getting my dance degree,

701
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 3: but yeah, like I never was professionally trained in ballroom no,

702
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 3: like people just kind of took that as I will say,

703
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 3: a lot of the stuff that I did learn, you

704
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 3: know's tools that's helped me in this space.

705
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, timing, counting.

706
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, like even having your shoulders up by your

707
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 3: ear lower Yeah, exactly, I get it. You know, like

708
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: I think that any sort of experience, like Elaine had

709
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 3: some dance experience, Alex had some dance experience, but I

710
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: think like people took this like modern dance degree and was.

711
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, she's a professional.

712
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 3: I was like, you need to calm down, because if

713
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: I was a professional, I probably wouldn't be doing a

714
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 3: reality show.

715
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 2: I'd probably like be like a rocket or something like.

716
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: You know, so you have had three kids since you

717
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: got your modern dance degree. Did you dance after after college? Yeah,

718
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: you did it.

719
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 3: I would go to classes, but then oh wait after

720
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: college or after kids?

721
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: After college?

722
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: After college, yes, but then once I started having kids,

723
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: you have not.

724
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: No, Like after I had Billy, I would take some

725
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 3: hip hop classes like my local like small Town, which

726
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: was so fun. I bet I really miss it. The

727
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: vibes were immaculate.

728
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: But just like everything's better in Utah.

729
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:43,200

Speaker 2: I just.

733
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,719

778
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: we've seen lots of stuff about whether or not Mark

779
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: is of getting any sort of favoritism. What do you

780
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: think about the favoritism conversation? What have you seen and experienced?

781
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 3: It's so interesting because Val has also been on the

782
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 3: show for I'm pretty sure just as long yep Osher

783
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: has been on the show for.

784
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 2: A really long time.

785
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: Posh has been on the show for seven years, but

786
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: Val has been on the show since like the second season, right,

789
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think, just like sometimes people, it

790
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: just takes one person to like start a Domino, and

791
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 3: then it just goes crazy because when I tell you

792
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 3: that man works his ass off, Yeah, yeah, there's no

793
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 3: favoritism there. He works his ass off. He works really

794
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 3: really hard to choreograph the music. There's so much start

795
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: that goes into it, and not only pushes me, pushes himself.

796
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

797
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 3: Again, I just think it's like somebody just says something

798
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 3: and then people will just like kind of every words.

799
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 2: I believe everything that's done on the Internet.

800
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, right, okay, no, right. Have YouTube been able?

801
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: What has the experience been like of reading some of

802
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: the backlash, reading some of the hate. Has it been

803
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: harder for you, harder for Mark? How have you helped

804
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: each other through it?

805
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 2: It's been hard for both of us.

806
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: Like it's nice because sometimes I'll be having a really

807
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 3: bad day with it, and then he'll be having a

808
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 3: good day. And then sometimes we'll be switching roles or

809
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: I'll be having a really good day and he'll be

810
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 3: having a really bad day, and so it's I feel

811
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: like we haven't had a day where it's both of us.

812
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: Great, which is great good.

813
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 3: It almost like makes me think of like mom and Dad,

814
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 3: where it's like a kid is being upset and you're

815
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 3: like I can't handle I can't help, but one of

816
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 3: the parents can.

817
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

818
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be lying if I didn't say, like it

819
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 3: definitely like has affected us. In Mark, I think has

820
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 3: just never seen it to like this gratitude. So he's

821
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 3: just like whoa Like, how do you find like the

822
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: resilience in not necessarily dealing with it, but dealing with it?

823
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: How do you find the resilience resilience to deal with it?

824
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: Mark asks me the same question, and I don't really

825
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 3: have an answer, Like I don't know these people. Yeah,

826
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: it would hurt more if I knew them, right, And sure,

827
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 3: I have insecurities and sometimes people will tap into those

828
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 3: insecurities and then that's probably when it's going to affect

829
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 3: me the most. But when it's just nonsense, I'm just

830
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 3: like like.

831
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: Right, what this is crazy?

832
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Like right?

833
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 3: And sometimes if I see a video and it just

834
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 3: takes a second to look at the comments and be like, oh,

835
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 3: this is like not team Whitney, So let me just scroll.

836
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: Back, right, I won't read this one.

837
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: I'm not going to read this one. They don't like me.

838
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: Here people that like me exactly on the other side

839
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: of the ad.

840
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay this week, Yes, the People's Princess.

841
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 2: The People's Princess.

842
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: Andy Richter was eliminated The People's Princess.

843
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 2: My heart after seeing those apps, hello.

844
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: I know. Well, I mean, for a while, it really

845
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: felt like the audience was pitting Whitney against Andy, which

846
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: I think is so ironic because I don't think Andy

847
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: Richter has a bigger fan than Whitney. You are his

848
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: biggest fan. I was sitting next to you during the

849
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: Holiday show. Yeah, and I am facing the stage, you

850
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: are sitting over here, and he comes walking out and

851
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: Whitney goes, oh, I can't my harm.

852
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 2: I love that man so much.

853
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I freaking And I told him when

854
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 3: after the elimination because it's such a bittersweet feeling. And

855
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 3: it was the same thing when you got eliminated. It's like,

856
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 3: I'm so used to seeing these people in the studio.

857
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 3: And Andy was also that person for me where it

858
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 3: was like he just has just this light that just

859
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 3: if I was having a bad day, I literally just

860
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 3: needed to like hear Andy speak yeah, I say it

861
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 3: really dumb joke, and then I'm happy again. Like he

862
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: just has that energy, that ambiance about him like that's

863
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 3: just how he carries his I'm just like, how can

864
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 3: you not be happy around this man? You will be happy,

865
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like I could not ever

866
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 3: be sad or mad around that man.

867
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 2: It's so cute.

868
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: I talk about his banana bread every opportunity. Did you

869
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: ever taste his banana? He makes the best banana bread. Well,

870
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: now I'm pissed, and now I have never had a

871
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: rotten banana in my kitchen without thinking of Andy. Every

872
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: time I see a rotten banana, I go God, I

873
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: wish I could give those to Andy to make some

874
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 1: banana bread. How do I get these rotten bans over

875
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: to Andy?

876
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: You know what he told me when I saw him.

877
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 3: He was like, well, you might still see me because

878
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 3: no one's using this trailer and I need to finish

879
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 3: this book.

880
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: He's like, I need a quiet work space. Like, okay,

881
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: i'll see you next week.

882
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: I love that, Like the way he's not wrong.

883
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 2: I know, I know, come on over.

884
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: And the minute I was eliminated, I started acting like

885
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to be there. I like show them.

886
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, Hi, it's my bad. I was eliminated, But

887
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: it still works. Can I use it.

888
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: I like literally walk around there. It's Danielle, don't shoot.

889
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: I literally act like I'm not supposed to be anywhere.

890
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 2: You're definitely eating.

891
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: And then last night when Robert did his dance and

892
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: he got hit the first perfect forty yes, and then

893
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: I realized there was a commercial break, I jumped up

894
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: and went to go run up into the skybox and

895
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: a woman in a red vest was like, where are

896
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 1: you going? And I was like, do I just knock

897
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: her down? Please?

898
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: Did you? I basically said, I need.

899
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: To go see Robert.

900
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 3: Good, Okay, good, I just ran up to the skybox

901
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 3: for you.

902
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 2: So anyway, I've but that meant so much to Robert.

903
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're so sweet.

904
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: Oh I just I love everybody so much. Can we

905
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: talk about that, because I do want to talk about this.

906
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: Why yeah, why do we all love each other so much?

907
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 3: I think it's just like we all just have such

908
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 3: good vibes, like we're It's funny because all Al was

909
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: even telling me Al pop out, no, not Al Alfonso.

00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: there's so much Alan Alfonso Okay.

912
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: He was telling me, is like this cast I just

913
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 3: love how like nobody's petty. Everybody's supporting each other, everybody's

914
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 3: rooting each other.

915
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: Someone's got to be secretly petty, you think I mean

916
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: somewhere right.

917
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 3: I mean I don't feel those vibes. No, I don't

918
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 3: feel those vibes. I I feel like we're all rooting

919
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 3: for each other and we all want each other to

920
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 3: do our best. And that's why eliminations suck and every

921
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 3: single time, because we all just want to keep doing

922
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 3: this together. I know, but it was it's like we

923
