Speaker 1: Welcome to Pod meets Twirl, the Dancing with the Stars
Speaker 1: recap hosted by two guys who can't dance, don't want
Speaker 1: to dance, and have now seen exactly seven episodes of
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. But since our best friend Danielle
Speaker 1: has joined the cast for season thirty four, We're going
Speaker 1: all in. We are Wilfred Allen, Ryder Strong aka the
Speaker 1: two dudes standing next to Topanga aka Daniel Fishal's backup
Speaker 1: aka the dan Yettes.
Speaker 2: I will Daniete, Hi rider Dan.
Speaker 3: Yet, how you feeling this week in my general life
Speaker 3: or after watching whatever the that was?
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you, but I'm angry. I
Speaker 1: wasn't angry other weeks, but I'm angry this week.
Speaker 2: What the hell?
Speaker 1: Let's let's take a step back and just say, how
Speaker 1: are you doing in general?
Speaker 4: How are you feeling?
Speaker 3: I am dude, Okay, you know it sounds like I've
Speaker 3: had a call for the last four months of my life,
Speaker 3: and I finally met with a new doctor yesterday that
Speaker 3: now maybe I don't.
Speaker 2: Need this sinus surgery, which is a good thing.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to be doing this whole new steroid rinse,
Speaker 3: which apparently is going to help because as a voiceover actor,
Speaker 3: everybody knows sounding sick all the time great for your career.
Speaker 3: So I'm uh, I'm excited about that. But that wasn't
Speaker 3: you know? Actually that was the highlight of my week
Speaker 3: because what, yeah.
Speaker 1: This was a tough one. Hell ill I know, but
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's actually gonna work in her favor.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree.
Speaker 1: I think because I think everybody feels it. I think
Speaker 1: everybody sees it because I watch with my parents, my
Speaker 1: wife and my son, who have not consistently watched every episode,
Speaker 1: and their reaction was exactly mine and yours, which was,
Speaker 1: while they are being harsh, really like why did they
Speaker 1: give her? Why did they give other people a pass
Speaker 1: and not her? Or yep, that's my wife. But it's like,
Speaker 1: so the woman who didn't dance wet home got the
Speaker 1: same score.
Speaker 3: Yep, basically other than one point yeah, one part, And
Speaker 3: I was like, I know that seems a little think yeah,
Speaker 3: the guy who couldn't make it to the swim meet
Speaker 3: tied for fourth or whatever the like what yeah, now
Speaker 3: we we I was gonna ask a tar of this
Speaker 3: because she knows a lot more about this than we do.
Speaker 3: I have to imagine, with as physical a competition as
Speaker 3: it is, they've they've had this happen before, where somebody
Speaker 3: gets injured and can't dance, right, I mean, this wasn't
Speaker 3: the first time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is this exactly what they do every time?
Speaker 4: Like they Yeah, it's happened, it's happened before. Well, okay,
Speaker 4: there are two different ways.
Speaker 1: If it's the.
Speaker 4: Pro who's injured, there could be another professional dancer who
Speaker 4: steps in for the pro.
Speaker 1: Oh that's almost worse.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's actually what happened with Sharna Burgess. She had
Speaker 4: Jenna Johnson step in for her a couple of years ago,
Speaker 4: and Jenna did the dance with her partner. And then
Speaker 4: there was one other time that they played the celebrities
Speaker 4: rehearsal to judge and I'm blanking on who it is.
Speaker 4: So while you guys are talking, I want to look
Speaker 4: it up. But it has happened before.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually thought the rehearsal was great, you know,
Speaker 1: I thought it was like you could see you know.
Speaker 2: I didn't think her dance was that good. I didn't.
Speaker 3: Sorry, And now I'm like, now I guess I'm looking
Speaker 3: for reasons. And again this comes with the bias of
Speaker 3: having a friend on the show. I guess I'm looking
Speaker 3: for reasons why they would score this person one way
Speaker 3: and this person another way. And it's also arbitrary.
Speaker 1: It is all arbitrary. But I'm getting better at predicting
Speaker 1: it now. I'm literally too. I'm spot on every time
Speaker 1: because I shouted out to my family and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be hs across the board. I feel the same one. Nine.
Speaker 1: Then there's only one last night good that I actually
Speaker 1: messed up everything else I've been. I've gotten to the
Speaker 1: point where and I think that's just knowing the judges,
Speaker 1: you know, like knowing, Oh, Derek's gonna like that, carry Anne's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Carrie An has her favorites, and she'll have two
Speaker 3: or three that no matter what they do, they could
Speaker 3: walk on the stage trip hit their face and she'd.
Speaker 2: Be like, you tried so hard. Nine.
Speaker 3: And then Danielle does the best thing where she's doing
Speaker 3: triple flips and she's.
Speaker 2: Like, you gotta your s Shelder is different too, and
Speaker 2: it's like.
Speaker 1: What the I'm with you? Man? I held back the anger.
Speaker 1: I you know, I want to give them the benefit
Speaker 1: of the doubt. But I could see at this point,
Speaker 1: it's starting to feel like a personal thing. It are
Speaker 1: you as open to like the potential that Danielle might
Speaker 1: be working her like and I don't think she is.
Speaker 1: I don't think she has. She's not seen. We'll get
Speaker 1: into it, Okay. Halloween themed one of my favorite like
Speaker 1: themes we could possibly do, although interestingly it was a
Speaker 1: very dark Halloween interpretation. Dark there literally everybody went like
Speaker 1: bloody and scary. Nobody went like nightmare before Christmas, fun
Speaker 1: kookie Halloween, which I was a little surprised by it.
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, everybody's like bloody and like kind
Speaker 1: of awful, but which which is so funny because that's
Speaker 1: actually more me, Like that's more my taste and in general, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I'm into it. But by the end I was like,
Speaker 1: really another like sexy bloody dance.
Speaker 3: Seriously, we couldn't have one person in a store bought
Speaker 3: Luke Skywalker costume.
Speaker 1: Like when I think about Disney Night which is like
Speaker 1: or TikTok. It was like the opposite. And when I
Speaker 1: was cravy, then I feel like they're all going way
Speaker 1: too far in the other direction. Yeah, I think in
Speaker 1: part because sexy has been working like really like the darker,
Speaker 1: sexier said, like Danielle's dance from the week before, Yeah,
Speaker 1: has been getting a reaction, and I think they're all
Speaker 1: feeling a little pressure to be like let me be
Speaker 1: dark and sexy lead.
Speaker 3: But it's weird to go scary not spooky, especially on ABC,
Speaker 3: like you figured to do somebody would do something spooky like.
Speaker 2: Just oh yeah, I'm a cat, like a little nothing.
Speaker 2: It was all like I died for it.
Speaker 1: It goes back to my criticism of the Disney week
Speaker 1: way too good a makeup. Yeah, I don't want this.
Speaker 1: It's like, look, it looks real on camera. It's one
Speaker 1: thing to look good during the dance and real, but
Speaker 1: it is so really like those contacts were freaking me
Speaker 1: out scared and it was like too much. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's so distracting. I'm like I want to watch you dance,
Speaker 1: and like there were three partners that had contacts and
Speaker 1: I wanted them all to take them off right away.
Speaker 1: And then like even like Dylan's like vainy neck thing
Speaker 1: going up his head, like no, guys, it's looking and
Speaker 1: the blood looked you real, Like when when what's it?
Speaker 1: When rob Robbers? Like I was like dude, I was
Speaker 1: in Cavin Fever. Take it off like no, like, this
Speaker 1: is not good. It was true.
Speaker 2: It was dark and good and dark.
Speaker 1: After got a makeup, I just want to tell the
Speaker 1: makeup team that you are amazing. You should all be
Speaker 1: working in horror films. But for this make it more cartoony. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't a little a little lighter, little more fun, little
Speaker 1: for this stage. But they're playing it up for the
Speaker 1: camera and it's real for me.
Speaker 2: I don't know, yah, yeah, yeah, no it was.
Speaker 3: But again, there were certain cool things, like some of
Speaker 3: the ways they started the dances, like coming out of
Speaker 3: the dirt.
Speaker 1: But I think I think the one who pulled it
Speaker 1: off the best as far as the atmosphere was the
Speaker 1: most playful and the only one that was, and that
Speaker 1: was Andy. It was cinematic. Yep. It was so fun
Speaker 1: and it felt like an actual movie with like atmosphere
Speaker 1: and story and they started in black and white, involved
Speaker 1: the camera moves. I was like, yes, and there was
Speaker 1: something a little you know, it wasn't gory, it wasn't
Speaker 1: like it was more like.
Speaker 3: Almost whimsical, scary whimsical, yes, which I thought.
Speaker 1: We were gonna get more of when we have to
Speaker 1: start with a giant sparkly skull, which I was like, yeah, Halloween,
Speaker 1: let's go. And then immediately we get a Lane's injury announced,
Speaker 1: which I was like, oh, oh crap, this is this
Speaker 1: is like what does this even mean? This sucks? Obviously
Speaker 1: felt bad for her. Yeah, yeah, but you know, that
Speaker 1: announcement immediately put me on edge and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh them, we're not gonna have much fun tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we didn't then our first our first dancwers.
Speaker 2: I kind of didn't know.
Speaker 1: I was on edge me too.
Speaker 2: This was an anxiety filled night.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right. First up was Whitney and Mark, who actually,
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, were maybe a little
Speaker 1: light hearted, you know. I just got into the darkness
Speaker 1: that later on. Yeah, but even they you know, they
Speaker 1: started with you know, I guess a zombie theme. Right,
Speaker 1: there's zombies.
Speaker 3: They're like dead, I think, so, yeah, they're undead, but
Speaker 3: like from a sanitarium.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's supposed to be like a medical ward.
Speaker 1: So like.
Speaker 2: The dead isn't enough, You've got to be zombie day.
Speaker 2: It's like, come on.
Speaker 1: So the song was brain stew by Green Day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: great song, did I don't know this song. Are you
Speaker 1: You're like a green Day fan? Huh?
Speaker 2: I like Green Day, I do.
Speaker 3: I like I've like green Day from from before Dookie,
Speaker 3: which was their first real, real big one that hit.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I like the song. I liked just starting
Speaker 3: with like the dunnet yea. It just kind of like
Speaker 3: got you into the night, you.
Speaker 1: Know, totally totally and it's and it's it's it's rare
Speaker 1: to have that kind of heavy hitting like music beats
Speaker 1: with silence. It was great, man, this was fun. I
Speaker 1: I just like both of them. I like both of
Speaker 1: them as people. As dancers. I feel like they continue
Speaker 1: to show their personality and you know, just make great moves.
Speaker 1: Like but I did notice, and they commented on this
Speaker 1: her timing wasn't a little.
Speaker 3: They're way out of sync. I like the look, I
Speaker 3: like the style, I love the song. They're out of sync,
Speaker 3: I know. So if I can notice that they're out
Speaker 3: of sync, how does that get a ten?
Speaker 1: Well? You know what they do that almost better than
Speaker 1: anybody else in this competition is they do really good moves.
Speaker 1: But they're also they always feel character based or emotion based,
Speaker 1: like it always comes from somewhere do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And that's really hard to achieve because I
Speaker 1: feel like people are either technically very good, like I
Speaker 1: think Alex you know, the is an amazing technical dancer,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't come from like inside emotional sort of
Speaker 1: personality based or character based stuff. And these two are
Speaker 1: both so good at that they're actually hitting. But you're right,
Speaker 1: sinc was off.
Speaker 2: I was off. And again, if you're if you're doing
Speaker 2: a dance, it's like that's good. You know, looked great.
Speaker 2: I know it started the night. You probably got jitters.
Speaker 3: It's probably the Also you've got the adrenaline pumping, like
Speaker 3: you just want to get going. But she was off,
Speaker 3: and so if you're or frankly or he was off,
Speaker 3: who knows they were off. So if that's the case,
Speaker 3: I get that. I still thought it was visually cool.
Speaker 3: I love that all of all of their moves because
Speaker 3: again I always talk about them as a professional dancing team.
Speaker 3: All of their moves are very precise, like they're they
Speaker 3: you know, when they hit a dance move like they're
Speaker 3: they're finishing the move there. It's staccato when it needs
Speaker 3: to be. It's all what it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: It was out of sake, right, So you think does
Speaker 1: that I kind of agree with you that that means
Speaker 1: you should not be getting a ten. No, because it
Speaker 1: is supposed to be perfect.
Speaker 2: That's the best you can get is a ten.
Speaker 1: So Bruno was just like way too impressed because it's
Speaker 1: Bruno that gave him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everye else gave them very generous all right.
Speaker 1: They were given nine to nine, nine and ten.
Speaker 3: Agree with the nines, Yeah, really yeah, I agree with
Speaker 3: the Nines again. The way to start to show the
Speaker 3: music the costumes. Like you said, they're both very good dancers,
Speaker 3: but you're out of sink. You don't get a perfect score.
Speaker 1: All right. Then we moved to Jordan and Ezra again
Speaker 1: your face contacts and uh, you know, she really got
Speaker 1: into the twitching this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say every time she was on camera.
Speaker 1: She was like trying to be in character. It's like
Speaker 1: this weird, twitchy zombie mummy person, which was at first
Speaker 1: very funny, but then I was like, wow, this is
Speaker 1: a this is a thing for you. You're like really
Speaker 1: into character.
Speaker 2: You also mixing genres. Are you a zombie? Are you
Speaker 2: a mummy? What are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think they couldn't do zombies because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of undead things going on, so it's like, let's
Speaker 1: add a mummy ish outfit that also maybe makes sense
Speaker 1: of the harness. Yeah, this was a little off for me.
Speaker 3: The I thought the same I thought the rope was
Speaker 3: there was a possibility of like, oh wow, we're going
Speaker 3: to see something super cool with a gymnast attached to
Speaker 3: a rope, like, oh my god, this is.
Speaker 2: And then it was just kind of in the week.
Speaker 1: One move that I thought was good was when he
Speaker 1: split the rope and then flipped and she was able
Speaker 1: to do the flip on her own, you know, but
Speaker 1: made it look like he was like he was doing her.
Speaker 1: But that actually doesn't require anything like that could have
Speaker 1: been just as good if you did it without a rope,
Speaker 1: like if you just made a spell of yes. So
Speaker 1: I didn't think they took advantage of it, like once
Speaker 1: they're like flinging her around with the rope. I know
Speaker 1: that it's difficult, but it just isn't as impressive to watch, right.
Speaker 3: It's also it's that's a huge risk because when he
Speaker 3: pulls the rope at the like in the middle to
Speaker 3: untie it if like something happens and that snags and
Speaker 3: you've now got a rope on you for the rest
Speaker 3: of the show, you're screwed. So that was that was
Speaker 3: a risk, but it didn't fully pay off for me.
Speaker 1: No, because I think that whenever they like it's it's
Speaker 1: interesting because she's so athletic and she's so capable of
Speaker 1: big moves. But actually when they when they get away
Speaker 1: from elegance, when they get away from more dancery stuff
Speaker 1: and they get more like, it becomes less interesting, like
Speaker 1: she's better with the pressure of like, let's be more
Speaker 1: sort of traditional in some way. Yes, when they when
Speaker 1: they get expressive, I'm less interested for some reason, even
Speaker 1: though I know it's impressive what they're doing. I think
Speaker 1: the judges were a little too kind on this one.
Speaker 1: I would have only gone eight's across the board. I
Speaker 1: was like, and they give nines, you know, nine eight
Speaker 1: eight nine, that's right. Yeah for me, it just I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, it fell a little flat for me too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it did, you know. I I actually in this case,
Speaker 1: I was judging their creativity. I was like, guys, if
Speaker 1: you're going to involve a harness, do something more interesting
Speaker 1: with it, and and they didn't. But then Also, it
Speaker 1: wasn't like crazy technically so difficult or so like that
Speaker 1: that the story, you know, like I would just forgive
Speaker 1: a like weird sort of half story because of these
Speaker 1: amazing moves. No, it was just kind of in between
Speaker 1: on both, right, So I was like, I don't.
Speaker 3: Know, do you think the other thing I was wondering
Speaker 3: just from a personality standpoint, Yeah, she her entire life
Speaker 3: has obviously been competition. Competition, competition. That's what she was
Speaker 3: born to do. It's what she's really great at. It
Speaker 3: also can come across as cold, yes, because it's like
Speaker 3: I am here to win, That's what I'm here to do.
Speaker 3: Do you think that's gonna hurt her.
Speaker 1: In the long run. I think it's hurting her already, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I think, yeah, she's approaching this as an athlete,
Speaker 1: as a gymnast, as a competitor, and I think if
Speaker 1: you didn't have pre show packages and post show packages,
Speaker 1: she would be doing way better. I disagree, and I
Speaker 1: don't I like her in the pre show package because
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lack of Honestly, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lack of presentation that I find so engaging and
Speaker 1: actually very cool because she's much more like, this is
Speaker 1: my job. What do I gotta do? I don't care
Speaker 1: what people think about me. But I think that that
Speaker 1: was maybe part of my problem this week is that
Speaker 1: in the pre show she started talking about depression, and
Speaker 1: she starts talking about her emotions, which I understand is
Speaker 1: coming from a genuine place. But then when the performance, honestly,
Speaker 1: it didn't feel emotional. It felt like performative emotion. It
Speaker 1: actually like if I had not seen the pre show package,
Speaker 1: I would have been more like, I would have been
Speaker 1: more invested emotionally, I guess, because as it was, I
Speaker 1: was like, it didn't feel And that's not that's not
Speaker 1: a knock. It's just why are you trying to make
Speaker 1: this about more than what it's actually about? Like for
Speaker 1: I think for her it's actually just about dancing well
Speaker 1: and winning, which is cool, but like she can't say
Speaker 1: that necessarily, you know what I mean, She's got to
Speaker 1: make it about a personal journey, and that's you know,
Speaker 1: That's my problem with this whole show in general, is
Speaker 1: all the pre show and post interview stuff just feels
Speaker 1: so banal to me. It's so banal. It's it's either
Speaker 1: performative or it's just like it's very rare that, you know,
Speaker 1: unless it's like the dedication night, which, like I said,
Speaker 1: I cried most of the time. It's like Disneyland's Fun
Speaker 1: Halloween is scary. Sometimes it is.
Speaker 3: It also, though it also gets a little a little
Speaker 3: false sentimental, where it's almost like, let's let's all sit down,
Speaker 3: and you almost hear the producer or director and you
Speaker 3: know this isn't happening, but you also you just hear
Speaker 3: them in their head, like, is there something more personal
Speaker 3: you could talk about, like if you lost a pet
Speaker 3: this week exactly?
Speaker 2: Maybe we talk about something like that.
Speaker 1: Also, also, would it be fine if the pre show
Speaker 1: package began something like that? And then what's her name?
Speaker 1: The host when she does the wrap up after the
Speaker 1: dance could ask anything interesting that develops it. Instead, what
Speaker 1: she tends to do is repeat like a question she
Speaker 1: asked them, a question that just allows them to repeat
Speaker 1: what they said in the pre show package, yeah, or
Speaker 1: a pre dance package, And it's like, dude, ask something more,
Speaker 1: ask them more. You know you said that sometimes you've
Speaker 1: battled depression, talk about that. You already heard this, and
Speaker 1: so inevitably what they say in the beginning. It's like
Speaker 1: it's every week they just get to deliver a two
Speaker 1: sentence like thing and it's like, I have struggle with
Speaker 1: depression or I'm feeling this way about this, and then
Speaker 1: they just repeat it again and I'm like, develop it.
Speaker 1: Why are we showing this? Why are we having this conversation?
Speaker 1: And it's frankly, it feels like we're killing time, which
Speaker 1: is all we are doing because we're waiting for the judge.
Speaker 1: But I think a real like a better host, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, would take what they're hearing the person present
Speaker 1: before the dance and after the dance find a way
Speaker 1: to like develop it and not just say like, it
Speaker 1: seems like you really like your mom, Yes, I dedicated
Speaker 1: the dance to her.
Speaker 3: Yeah okay, but sorry, yeah you really like your Mom's like.
Speaker 1: You dance with a harness. Yeah okay, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: I just gave nine eight eight nine. I do love
Speaker 1: Jordan and Ezra. I do want them to stay. I
Speaker 1: feel like this week was all they could have been
Speaker 1: judged a.
Speaker 3: Little harshirt and yeah, I think I think if you
Speaker 3: if you set up that you're wearing giant trapeze wires
Speaker 3: and then don't do anything trapezy, then I feel like
Speaker 3: you've screwed me a bit.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, next up Andy Richter and the
Speaker 1: Slater Man. He just keeps plucking away, this guy, he does.
Speaker 3: And you know, this is where this is the perfect
Speaker 3: example of the pre show package saving you every week
Speaker 3: because he's so likable, Like even Susan.
Speaker 2: We're sitting on the couch and he comes on and
Speaker 2: we sit up a little straighter. We start laughing.
Speaker 3: He's funny, he's tongue in cheek, he's looking at the camera.
Speaker 3: You want to vote for this guy?
Speaker 2: I don't even need to see the dance. It's like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'll vote for him.
Speaker 1: I know, And I think so it's funny because he
Speaker 1: actually he doesn't like and this is not a knock
Speaker 1: on him, but like you are an incredibly witty, clever person,
Speaker 1: like you actually say things that just if I saw
Speaker 1: them written, are so funny. He's not actually that like,
Speaker 1: he's not like a he's just kind of like a
Speaker 1: presence that's positive, do you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 1: you just like him? Yes, it's just like a natural
Speaker 1: charisma and a natural sort of like normal guyness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: feels very comforting in a world of incredibly chiseled, beautiful people, right,
Speaker 1: you know, like all week you're just looking at people
Speaker 1: like that. You're like, everyone's got the cheekbones and the
Speaker 1: body and the muscles. And when I see him on camera,
Speaker 1: it's like, well, thank god, someone's up there looking like me,
Speaker 1: you know, or like you know. And though because he
Speaker 1: actually isn't doing that much comedy wise, like he's he's
Speaker 1: actually pretty earnest and just sort of straightforward. But it's
Speaker 1: more just like physically and personality wise, he's not trying.
Speaker 1: It's just like a relief every time it's on camera.
Speaker 3: You're also there's a weird journey he's taking that very
Speaker 3: few they mentioned it last week or the week before,
Speaker 3: but he's also losing so much weight yep, that it's
Speaker 3: like we're watching him get healthier. Yeah, and he's moving
Speaker 3: better on stage and it's making you know, and it's
Speaker 3: so it's one of those things where that's kind of
Speaker 3: an interesting journey to watch as well.
Speaker 2: This guy's got to be down twenty twenty five pounds. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's significant.
Speaker 3: So uh yeah, but it's I'm kind of changing my
Speaker 3: tune on him after coming off of everybody taking it
Speaker 3: so seriously, which I guess they I get that they
Speaker 3: have to and they should, but it's now like ramped
Speaker 3: up so much. To have to see the guy who's
Speaker 3: looking at the camera going like hi, Derek and just
Speaker 3: kind of having fun is a little bit of in
Speaker 3: a movie like it's a it's a it's a a
Speaker 3: just a breath of fresh air in the middle of
Speaker 3: kind of this intense it's I mean, it's it's a
Speaker 3: ridiculous equivalency, but it's the it's the same as you're
Speaker 3: watching these high wire acts, these trapeze artists, the guys
Speaker 3: in the motorcycle doing the flaming thing, and then you
Speaker 3: just cut to the clown for for a little bit
Speaker 3: in the middle of the circus and you go from there.
Speaker 1: Perfect analogy. I mean exactly. It's so nice you need it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what the circus needs. That's what There's
Speaker 1: a reason that they have a clown troop come out
Speaker 1: every three or four numbers to like it actually makes
Speaker 1: them more serious, you know, like it actually elevates it
Speaker 1: because you get a break. Good call man. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I thought this was really fun too. It was wise,
Speaker 1: Like I said, in terms of like the lighting and
Speaker 1: the incorporation of story elements and stuff. But I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there with my parents who have only seen at this point,
Speaker 1: I think, three episodes, you know, and my mom is like, well,
Speaker 1: he's just standing there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like, yeah, yeah, he.
Speaker 1: Is, which only, like you pointed out last week, feels
Speaker 1: unfair when somebody else gets kicked off. It does feel it,
Speaker 1: does you know, But that is the nature of the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: They all the contest as much as it is anything else.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it could.
Speaker 3: If they had put any more fog, you couldn't have
Speaker 3: seen any of the dance.
Speaker 1: It was just disappear At one point completely, it was
Speaker 1: just fog. When he was dragging her, it was like,
Speaker 1: is she even there anymore?
Speaker 3: And you know, we we have very rarely, if ever,
Speaker 3: really talked about her. I think she is the unsung
Speaker 3: hero of this entire show because she is always has
Speaker 3: a smile on her face, She's always so happy to
Speaker 3: be there.
Speaker 2: She's talking him through every dance. She's a rock star.
Speaker 1: Well he I mean he and he said like when
Speaker 1: they asked, I feel like at one point during his
Speaker 1: interview it was like, how how are you doing or whatever,
Speaker 1: and he was like pointing to her like she's making
Speaker 1: everything happen, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think so she's Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also liked having like a dance to Beethoven.
Speaker 1: It kind of felt, you know, I like we all
Speaker 1: know the song, even if we don't know, we know it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so there was something like ah and again like I
Speaker 1: like kind of a classical feeling injected into I don't
Speaker 1: know it was. It was comforting.
Speaker 3: They also just from the camera angles and the stuff
Speaker 3: they were doing, they made that stage look like it
Speaker 3: was forty five miles long.
Speaker 2: It was incredible. Yeah, really well done.
Speaker 1: Oh let's see their score is seven seven seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, Derek. But we should talk about Derek
Speaker 3: broke his sixth paddle.
Speaker 2: Remember that. He's like he literally snapped the paddle.
Speaker 1: It was like, okay, I mean he's never gonna give
Speaker 1: sixes again.
Speaker 2: I think, well that's the thing that the dancers know.
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, this scoring has been up.
Speaker 3: It's right to the point where they're not gonna give
Speaker 3: anything below seven anymore. And if you get an eight,
Speaker 3: that's essentially the equivalent of season of episode one getting
Speaker 3: a five. It's like you saw them all get eights
Speaker 3: and They're like, ugh, whereas you know two weeks ago,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we got four eights. You're jumping up
Speaker 3: and down now four eights. They're like, that was we
Speaker 3: failed tonight?
Speaker 1: Yeah, weird. It is weird. A great inflation, great inflation,
Speaker 1: all right. Jan and Jenna then performed uh canceled by
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, and I have to say I really enjoyed this.
Speaker 1: Most of them like professional. It's like there's usually too
Speaker 1: many of them dancing for me to like really know
Speaker 1: who everybody is. But I was blown away by him,
Speaker 1: especially because I don't know. I guess I've taken him
Speaker 1: for granted.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Well he got he had a really rough week. Yeah,
Speaker 3: if you followed all that stuff that was going on. No, So,
Speaker 3: VAL's brother used to be a pro on Dancing with
Speaker 3: the Stars, and VAL's brother it's so convoluted it sounds
Speaker 3: like like a soap opera. VAL's brother's wife has a podcast,
Speaker 3: so Max Cherminovsky went on his wife's pod cast and
Speaker 3: talked about how as a professional dancer, Jan has no
Speaker 3: business being on Dancing with the Stars. He's talked about
Speaker 3: how he couldn't he's he's not right for the show.
Speaker 3: His bass is wrong, his arms are wrong, he doesn't
Speaker 3: he's not classically dance, he doesn't know the partner relationship.
Speaker 3: Like he bashed this dude badly, which is and then
Speaker 3: it kind of went viral and went everywhere, which is
Speaker 3: why Derek specifically at the end was like, Jan, you've
Speaker 3: been doing a great job this first season on the show.
Speaker 1: I felt that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a rough week.
Speaker 3: Everybody, you know this guy just literally came out and
Speaker 3: just blasted him, saying like, this guy's no business being one.
Speaker 2: Of the dancers.
Speaker 1: Harsh, Well, that's interesting. Yeah, and he's the newest, he's
Speaker 1: the only new one of the pros.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he was Tailor and everyone says the only
Speaker 3: reason he got booked is because he's Tailor.
Speaker 2: Was Taylor Swift's dancer.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I hate to say it, but maybe
Speaker 1: there's some truth to that, because this really blew me away.
Speaker 1: And this was not him dancing as as a pro
Speaker 1: part of a team. This was him dancing to Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: Right, which and that was this guy's probably danced to
Speaker 3: that song eight thousand times.
Speaker 2: Like, so it was really good.
Speaker 1: I thought it was really good, and.
Speaker 3: I love her. She is a phenomenal dancer. She's got
Speaker 3: kicked off what week one or we two? But oh god,
Speaker 3: she's so the two of them together was like, that
Speaker 3: was one of those things where you feel like you're
Speaker 3: sitting in a theater watching a performance.
Speaker 2: It was I thought it was just really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and then we get to the Elaine Hendrix
Speaker 1: of it all. Man, this was rough.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Can I ask why her pro still had to dress
Speaker 3: up like Gladiator? You know, if the guy's not dancing,
Speaker 3: did he have to go through wardrobe? I get him
Speaker 3: not being in jeans and a T shirt, but like,
Speaker 3: did he have to get into full makeup and everything?
Speaker 1: You know, that's actually an interesting question because it's you
Speaker 1: pointed it out. I kind of liked it because the
Speaker 1: rehearsal video, you know, part of the biggest problem with
Speaker 1: it is that they're just in like workout clothes, right,
Speaker 1: So I think seeing him in an outfit was like, oh,
Speaker 1: there could have been what could have been? You know,
Speaker 1: I think if you had just been in rehearsal clothes,
Speaker 1: or even if you had just been wearing a suit,
Speaker 1: it would have been like but because it was like
Speaker 1: you always felt like what did her outfit look like
Speaker 1: we never got to see it. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think it actually highlighted the absence in a positive way.
Speaker 1: That was I don't know.
Speaker 3: Do you think now dance aside, which we haven't even
Speaker 3: got to yet, do you think it's fair that if
Speaker 3: you can't dance, you're still in the competition?
Speaker 1: Got that, you know? My instinct, like my feeling last
Speaker 1: night was yes, this felt fair until Danielle's score game
Speaker 1: thank you, and then I was really pissed off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, really, we don't just give her fives
Speaker 1: across the board or something, you know, like neutral.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they gave her eights.
Speaker 2: She she scored higher.
Speaker 3: The woman who was in an ambulance not at the
Speaker 3: show scored higher than Andy by by every judge, And
Speaker 3: it's I mean, it's weird.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: It would have been fair to me is if they
Speaker 1: don't show the rehearsal video, because it seems like questionable
Speaker 1: whether that's fair or not. What if they just if
Speaker 1: you miss it, if you injure, if an injury takes
Speaker 1: you out, you just match the lowest score of the night.
Speaker 1: That's fair, right, So like which in this case would
Speaker 1: have been Andy and Emma. So whoever gets the lowest,
Speaker 1: you also get the passing grid, like you also get
Speaker 1: the lowest.
Speaker 2: Yeh see, I think that didn't make it.
Speaker 1: You didn't make it physically, right, But we're also not
Speaker 1: going to, you know, completely give you zeros, So you're
Speaker 1: just going to be like the person who also you know,
Speaker 1: showed up and did their best but got the lowest
Speaker 1: of the night. I feel like that would.
Speaker 2: Be fair, that that could be fair.
Speaker 3: The other thing that every other reality show does is
Speaker 3: a night like this, no one goes home and two
Speaker 3: couples go home next week.
Speaker 2: So it's like, that's that's how you do it. That's fair.
Speaker 3: You're not here, fine, we'll keep you in the competition,
Speaker 3: so no one will go home tonight, but we're sending
Speaker 3: two couples home next week because it's like that.
Speaker 2: The whole situation was really strange.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you know, any other thing you're in, like
Speaker 3: I said, you're in a swimming competition, you're in whatever,
Speaker 3: and you can't go physically, that's it.
Speaker 2: You can't go.
Speaker 1: So and what if somebody just gets like food poisoning
Speaker 1: in and feels sick or says they're nauseous or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like power, where do you draw the line? You know,
Speaker 1: in this case, it sounds like she really like really
Speaker 1: hurt her rib and had to get out in the hospital.
Speaker 1: But you can also just the kind.
Speaker 2: Of yeah, not that we're saying she is, of course not,
Speaker 2: but you would know.
Speaker 1: That you could possibly get a score.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I deal with you anyway.
Speaker 1: Video.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I disagree. I didn't like. I didn't like
Speaker 2: their dance at all. Frankly, I would love to.
Speaker 3: And maybe it's because I was always throwing, but I
Speaker 3: this was I think my least favorite dancer that I
Speaker 3: just dance wise, I think this was my least favorite
Speaker 3: dance of the night.
Speaker 2: And so oh interesting, Yeah, it just it.
Speaker 1: I thought the final lift was pretty awkward and painful,
Speaker 1: like didn't feel smooth, But otherwise I was like really
Speaker 1: into it, and I wish I could have seen it.
Speaker 3: That's the thing is, I think the problem with rehearsal
Speaker 3: is you don't necessarily finish all your moves, so like
Speaker 3: when she leaned against them, she like kind of leaned
Speaker 3: against them where I'm sure she would have gone one
Speaker 3: or two inches deeper when you know.
Speaker 2: She's not committing so yeah, so it's like little things
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Injury and stuff. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, wasn't even at the show all eight.
Speaker 4: Just to jump in real quick, there was three other
Speaker 4: times that people were scored based on their rehearsal footage, Okay,
Speaker 4: season eight. There was Steve o in week two, Melissa
Speaker 4: Ryecroft in week eight also season eight, and then Tamar
Speaker 4: Braxton in season twenty one, and then Elaine. So this
Speaker 4: is the fourth time they've done it.
Speaker 3: Now what if they I mean, then if you couldn't rehearse,
Speaker 3: are you then kicked off the show? I mean if
Speaker 3: there's no rehearsal footage, Like if she can't go next week,
Speaker 3: is she then done?
Speaker 2: I mean imagine she would have to be right.
Speaker 4: I mean, she got cleared by doctor like they said,
Speaker 4: But if something else were to happen and she couldn't
Speaker 4: learn the dance, then I.
Speaker 2: Don't know that would be it. I think it would be.
Speaker 4: A decision between the show and doctors and her. I
Speaker 4: think it would be like a big decision made.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I also think I like the Argentine Tango a lot,
Speaker 2: Do you really?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Because I loved Danielle's dance last week. And watching
Speaker 1: Elaine and Allen do the Argentine tango ghett I was like,
Speaker 1: this is my favorite dance.
Speaker 3: Do you know how many people pointed out to us
Speaker 3: that Buenos Aires is in Argentina even though that was
Speaker 3: the joke.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well I didn't get it at first. I
Speaker 1: was like, isn't Buenos Aires an archida? And that's why
Speaker 1: I doubted it. I was like, I have to check.
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure. I was like, because you said it
Speaker 1: so quick, I was like it was just the same.
Speaker 1: And then I was like my book classic al eights, Yeah,
Speaker 1: al eates. Now let's take a moment here to talk
Speaker 1: about the Bruno of it all, because I Bruno has
Speaker 1: been really getting into my head. And right about at
Speaker 1: this point in the night is when my family stopped
Speaker 1: because my parents were in town and we had ordered
Speaker 1: a big sushi feast, and so we took a pause
Speaker 1: and we all like had our sushi laid out, and
Speaker 1: you know it, my son and my wife and at
Speaker 1: one point, you know, somebody asked me like, my wife
Speaker 1: is like, you know, oh, how's the Alba core? And
Speaker 1: I you not what it was happening to my brand
Speaker 1: is I wanted to stand up and go. This Albacorn
Speaker 1: is fantastic, Darling, It's just amazing. I just I have
Speaker 1: Bruno in my head. It's like everything coming off for
Speaker 1: me is just like the most exaggerate. Oh, the soy
Speaker 1: sauce it needs, of course, of course, but you're doing.
Speaker 1: I love his excitement. Oh. I just always I want
Speaker 1: to be I want to be as expressive and free
Speaker 1: and positive. But Duen, he's negative. I don't get you.
Speaker 1: He has like this rhythm to it. I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that. Here's what I don't love. I cannot
Speaker 1: well the the like cheesy corny quips related to the
Speaker 1: theme of the dance. Yeah, it's like if it's a
Speaker 1: if it's a police themed, it's like you are arresting Darling.
Speaker 1: Shut up, Like, oh, it's a chef themed. It's like
Speaker 1: that was a full course meal and a cake. What So,
Speaker 1: here's what I want to do, because I think your
Speaker 1: brain works better than Bruno's. I'm gonna give you a
Speaker 1: quiz if you if you see a dance based on
Speaker 1: a certain thing, what would you say, Oh, where's where's
Speaker 1: your corny quip? Okay, are you ready? Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: New York themed fox trot, a New York themed fox Trotky,
Speaker 1: it was wonderful and it was a good fox trot.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, okay, it would be something like, uh after
Speaker 2: that dance, darling, everyone is moving.
Speaker 1: Uptown all right now, it's a Willy Wonka themed dance.
Speaker 2: Go go treasure.
Speaker 3: You are the music maker, you are the dreamer of dreams.
Speaker 2: We are all getting a golden ticket dolling.
Speaker 1: Right now. It's a Lord of the Rings dance.
Speaker 3: Oh jeezus, you are then the whole demeanor ball at
Speaker 3: the end, and it will be You're precious.
Speaker 1: See you're already better he has all week because you know,
Speaker 1: he was the theme of the Dad you in thirty
Speaker 1: seconds come up with better quips than it's always his.
Speaker 3: Or they they are there.
Speaker 2: It's it's pretty funny too.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Did you also notice I think Carrie, Anne and Derek
Speaker 2: don't like each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well there was that weird ooh where he kept
Speaker 1: being like She's like blah blah blah, and I was
Speaker 1: like what what and she kept trying to interrupt. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: And then there was also a time he's like, oh wow, thanks,
Speaker 3: I got no no time left, and you heard her like,
Speaker 3: you've got plenty of time left.
Speaker 2: It was like, oh God, I mean, you.
Speaker 1: Know, surprise, surprise answers that are like paid to be judges,
Speaker 1: have opinions and have egos.
Speaker 2: Should we did we? We didn't mention we had a
Speaker 2: guest judge this week, Ryl Burke.
Speaker 3: The one thing I will say, I thought she was
Speaker 3: giving the best criticism and was the most fair with
Speaker 3: her judging all night long.
Speaker 2: Frankly, I mean it was like, well.
Speaker 1: She was also, I mean it was interesting because in
Speaker 1: some ways it felt like she was coming from a
Speaker 1: place like I feel like the judges in the first
Speaker 1: four weeks were giving very good technical notes, yeah, on
Speaker 1: a pretty regular basis, and then they sort of in
Speaker 1: an howur just like we know who you are, we
Speaker 1: know your story, and so I'm a judging you accordingly.
Speaker 1: Where she was coming in like with a fresh perspective
Speaker 1: and yeah, giving technical notes again, it felt like it
Speaker 1: felt like a first four week judge, which I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I did too.
Speaker 1: Why they bring in a guest you know, I swear
Speaker 1: to God at.
Speaker 3: Some point, because I think we've talked about this before
Speaker 3: the first few seasons of the show, they were much
Speaker 3: more harsh, and some network note or something came down
Speaker 3: and said, we are not American idol.
Speaker 2: We don't want the harsh judging. Lighten it up. And
Speaker 2: I feel like they've been like because now they're going
Speaker 2: like hah, you know, I love you, you're the best.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're great, but maybe do your hand
Speaker 3: like this like they're like trying to do it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the producers. I think that's
Speaker 1: just in response.
Speaker 2: To social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the popularity thing. Like, you know, I think that
Speaker 1: we're at a different age than when like Simon Cowell
Speaker 1: was like miss Harsh and even then I feel like
Speaker 1: people people kind of liked that. But now I feel
Speaker 1: like being negative is just not as appreciated, even when
Speaker 1: they are correct, you know, and they would rather their
Speaker 1: careers are sort of it's better to be more positive.
Speaker 1: I mean, even the way that we feel about carry
Speaker 1: on right now, based on you know how she talked
Speaker 1: to Danielle.
Speaker 2: That's a whole other conversation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, up next, daniel Fishel and Pasha pashkav.
Speaker 1: I thought watching the rehearsal, watching Danielle be a director
Speaker 1: as she is and an actor as she is, and
Speaker 1: a dancer as she's become was so fun great and
Speaker 1: I was just like, dude, you have like found your
Speaker 1: stride literally and this is so fun. Like I'm she
Speaker 1: like was making a story, was having such a blast,
Speaker 1: and I was watching the versa where she was making
Speaker 1: all her little god no yeah, I was like yes,
Speaker 1: because that's the way she is, and she even did
Speaker 1: like a little karate sound at one point. I was
Speaker 1: like God, it's like, oh my god, I love you
Speaker 1: so much. And then the dance itself I thought was
Speaker 1: incredible and it was incredible what the actual yeah no,
Speaker 1: to me, it was like oh nine, like across the board,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe a ten because like her whole like you know,
Speaker 1: the moment when she was saying no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: it was so good acting just in the moment in
Speaker 1: a way that like you know, they talk about her
Speaker 1: being like like not worried about her steps. I was like,
Speaker 1: she nailed this and was in control of the dance
Speaker 1: and like, yeah.
Speaker 3: I also love the visual of starting clean and then
Speaker 3: his hands have but the his hands have the blood
Speaker 3: on it, which is all you know, is physical and metaphorical,
Speaker 3: and then his hands are on the white dress.
Speaker 2: So now her white dress is getting covered in blood.
Speaker 1: Awesome.
Speaker 3: And I was like, God, this is great, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: she might be doing better than last week.
Speaker 2: Like, oh man, how no one could say anything negative
Speaker 2: about this? This is incredible.
Speaker 1: I was nine nines across the border as my my.
Speaker 1: I was like, one hundred percent, it's gonna be great.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great, maybe even a ten.
Speaker 3: I thought she was gonna get her first ten of
Speaker 3: the night from Bruno. I thought he was going to
Speaker 3: give a ten because he was being very generous all
Speaker 3: night long. I was like, oh my god, they're gonna
Speaker 3: do it. They're gonna get a ten. She's gonna freak out.
Speaker 3: This is absolutely breakout from the pack like she did
Speaker 3: last week. And then they went in front of the judges.
Speaker 1: I think they're holding her to a higher.
Speaker 2: Standard for what to what.
Speaker 1: End because because a she looks young, so I don't
Speaker 1: think I think they're treating her as like she's in
Speaker 1: the same category as like the thirty somethings that are
Speaker 1: or even early twenty somethings, and it's just not the case. Right,
Speaker 1: This is this is a mother, This is somebody who
Speaker 1: is forty five years old, and I think that they're
Speaker 1: not because she looks so young and they still associate
Speaker 1: her with Aztapanga. They think of her as like a
Speaker 1: young American sweetheart, and it's like, that's not really fair.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a fair assessment of who she
Speaker 1: is as a person and how hard she's working physically
Speaker 1: to keep up. So that's like I think part of it.
Speaker 1: And then I think she's very popular, and I think
Speaker 1: that because she's so popular, there's a little bit of like,
Speaker 1: you know, you can deserve, you can take a little
Speaker 1: harsher from the judges in a way that I just
Speaker 1: don't think they're just not on her side. They're not
Speaker 1: rooting for her.
Speaker 3: Say I think again it Carrie Ann tonight last night
Speaker 3: it felt personal.
Speaker 2: I can't explain it. I'm sure it's not.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but it felt personally like she does
Speaker 3: not like Danielle and I don't know what the hell
Speaker 3: daniel did.
Speaker 2: She take her parking spot? Is there something we don't know?
Speaker 3: Because it how you can watch that after watching a
Speaker 3: rehearsal tape and give it the same score because Carrie
Speaker 3: Anne gave it the same damn.
Speaker 2: Score as the one before.
Speaker 3: Are you can't like I know less about dance than
Speaker 3: anyone on the planet, and I know that Danielle's dance
Speaker 3: was better than that one. Even if you want to
Speaker 3: give Danielle an eight, then the other one was a six.
Speaker 2: It's like, what the hell is going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, she's got a chip
Speaker 1: on her shoulder. I think Carrie An's got a chip
Speaker 1: on her shoulder. I think, I mean, I think most
Speaker 1: I think there's a sense of like Danielle being maybe.
Speaker 2: Too good at everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's just like the popular girl you know and
Speaker 1: like but which is just annoying her. It's like she's
Speaker 1: the most loving kind yeah, like non exclusive, Like Danielle
Speaker 1: never gives off the vibe that she deserves anything. She
Speaker 1: knows hard and enjoys herself. Yeah, but I think that
Speaker 1: there's the potential that as opposed to like Robert who
Speaker 1: goes next, Right, Robert feels like, even though it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be the stars, he is the celebrity who doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like he belongs here to a certain degree. Right,
Speaker 1: there's a sense of like, oh, wow, he's he's famous
Speaker 1: because of his dad and because of his like you know,
Speaker 1: environmental work. But for the most part. He's kind of
Speaker 1: an everyman. Same with Dylan, there's a sense of like
Speaker 1: people coming from like you know, whereas Danielle there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of like, you know, you've been a star
Speaker 1: all your life. You've been the center of attention for
Speaker 1: a long time. And I don't know what against her.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but it's like, I
Speaker 3: don't know what else she can do. Like that's the
Speaker 3: thing is you're setting an impossible standard when you have
Speaker 3: that kind of dance, which I then went back and
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: Maybe she screwed up this grow up.
Speaker 3: I watched this thing like three times and I was like, Nope,
Speaker 3: great dance.
Speaker 2: And then it gets to Cheryl, who's like, we do
Speaker 2: everything big in ballroom.
Speaker 3: We danced to the ceiling, we do all this as like,
Speaker 3: did you watch the same thing we did? Did you
Speaker 3: see the facial expression she was making and pointing, the
Speaker 3: way she was ripping open her and she's covered in blood.
Speaker 2: You you didn't see all that. That's what you point
Speaker 2: out is she needs to act bigger. Really, I know.
Speaker 3: It was so it was like I was in the
Speaker 3: matrix and everybody saw something different.
Speaker 2: Than I did. And I was just sitting there going like,
Speaker 2: how is how what? How how is that possible? I
Speaker 2: don't get it, Like I give you Robert Irwin thing.
Speaker 3: The other thing with Robert is he's instantly become America's
Speaker 3: little brother, right like he.
Speaker 1: Just said that about Dylan too. But right, but so
Speaker 1: but here here, here, here is something that could be
Speaker 1: taken into consideration in terms of Danielle's strategy, which is,
Speaker 1: has she opened up personally as much as most other contestants?
Speaker 1: In other words, has Danielle talked about her family?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Has she talked about her journey as a child actor
Speaker 1: moving into directing or and no, she has. She has not.
Speaker 1: She has worked her tough to prove that she can
Speaker 1: do the technical side of the dancing, and she is.
Speaker 1: She has leaned into her you know, her public persona,
Speaker 1: but she has about her husband. She has not talked
Speaker 1: about being a mother in the same way that almost
Speaker 1: every other contestant has had at least one moment where
Speaker 1: they opened up in that way. And I think maybe
Speaker 1: it's time for her, you know, because even in this one,
Speaker 1: she told a fun story and it was great, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't like this is the way I think of marriage,
Speaker 1: and sometimes I struggle with my husband. You know, it
Speaker 1: didn't have any of the like, So she hasn't She
Speaker 1: hasn't connected, maybe in the same way that everybody's had
Speaker 1: at least one moment where you're like, oh, you are
Speaker 1: an entertainer, you are an actor, but you also have this,
Speaker 1: you know, like Andy has his daughter. You know, everybody
Speaker 1: has had. And she chose for her dedication to do Bill,
Speaker 1: which we know is personal, but it's also what she's
Speaker 1: already known for. So I wonder if strategy wise, it's
Speaker 1: time for you know, the only like real like she
Speaker 1: you know, in the beginning, she had her injury. She's
Speaker 1: talked about that, but.
Speaker 3: It might be good for her to open up a
Speaker 3: little bit more personally maybe. But I also I think
Speaker 3: there's a strength to what she's doing too though. I mean,
Speaker 3: this woman, it was dealing with cancer and she hasn't
Speaker 3: mentioned that since the very very first episode.
Speaker 2: I know, because she's like, I don't want to, I
Speaker 2: want to I want to dance. I don't want to
Speaker 2: go out and mention that, right, And so I think
Speaker 2: you everyone's already forgotten that, right exactly.
Speaker 3: But it's I don't know. Maybe you're right, Maybe next
Speaker 3: week she needs to open up more about everything that's
Speaker 3: going on. But I just from a dancing perspective, how
Speaker 3: you look at that and again, we look at it
Speaker 3: through I love you goggles. I get that, But how
Speaker 3: you look at that and see And I'm not trying
Speaker 3: to bash Alane. This poor woman has had an incredible
Speaker 3: journey and was hit by a car. I mean, yes,
Speaker 3: she's had a ton of problems and was probably crushed.
Speaker 3: She couldn't dance last night. But how you look at
Speaker 3: that dance and then you look at Danielle's and give
Speaker 3: them the same score. I don't, I don't. I That's
Speaker 3: what I just kind of threw up my hands. I
Speaker 3: was like, okay, none of this makes any sense. Like
Speaker 3: it just none of this makes any sense.
Speaker 1: She got eight, eight, eight and nine. Yeah, good old
Speaker 1: Bruno came through a nine.
Speaker 2: He was also writer. We should talk about what she
Speaker 2: was doing.
Speaker 3: She was dancing the Viennese waltz. Oh yeah, Via, So
Speaker 3: we're going to talk a little bit about.
Speaker 2: Whiz history of dance.
Speaker 3: This was in the Viennese waltz was created in Buenos Aires. Uh,
Speaker 3: I'm kidding, of course, I don't know if Austria Austria.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: It is a fast rotary ballroom dance, characterized by its
Speaker 3: constant turning, which is either to the right, which is
Speaker 3: called a natural turn, or to the left, which is
Speaker 3: called a reverse turn. Unlike the slower wallts, it lacks
Speaker 3: the pronounced rise and fall as I like to call
Speaker 3: it because of its high speed, which is about sixty
Speaker 3: bars per minute. Key techniques include maintaining soft knees and
Speaker 3: a stable posture, taking small steps on the inside of
Speaker 3: a turn, and transitioning between rotations and change steps. That's
Speaker 3: your Viennese waltz, my friend. Cool, Yeah, I figured you'd
Speaker 3: want to know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So are you always turning the same direction? Is
Speaker 1: that the idea? Or you can't switch it up?
Speaker 3: No, you can switch You can either go natural turn
Speaker 3: or reverse turn. So like as they would say it
Speaker 3: would be in skateboarding and everything. Isn't that a right
Speaker 3: turn or goofy foot? I think they call it is
Speaker 3: when you spin the other way, or that might just
Speaker 3: be which way your goofy is when your left foot's forward?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you interesting?
Speaker 1: It's my right foot that's forward. Nice, even though yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh so, yeah, that's the Viennese waltz.
Speaker 1: Thanks dude, good to.
Speaker 2: Know you're welcome.
Speaker 1: Moving on to Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson, what can
Speaker 1: you say?
Speaker 2: Really great, really great?
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think I love the Argentinian tanger He's.
Speaker 3: I also thought this was, in my opinion, the coolest
Speaker 3: stage of the night. Yeah, just to look with the
Speaker 3: but the giant thing of roses behind them and then
Speaker 3: her coming up on like they're lifting her up on
Speaker 3: the cello.
Speaker 2: Oh sick way to start. That was cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and fun to see him go a little like
Speaker 1: more dark. Yeah, and you know, there's nothing goofy about this.
Speaker 1: It was just like full commitment HALLOWEENI yeah, I thought
Speaker 1: this was great. He's I mean clearly, I mean part
Speaker 1: of okay, like honestly part of my think I started
Speaker 1: to turn on Robert unfairly, probably because he's so beloved
Speaker 1: by the judges. I was like, uh, Derek, we get it.
Speaker 1: You love him and his family because you dance with
Speaker 1: his sister. Can you give Danielle Fish a little credit?
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, no, so I was, Yeah, but the
Speaker 1: dance itself was so fun. This was it was dances
Speaker 1: of the night totally deserved.
Speaker 3: Love her too, by the way, she's she's such a
Speaker 3: good dancer. The two of them together just work. They
Speaker 3: look great. Ye, her choreography is phenomenal. There's I think
Speaker 3: there's only been one of the seven weeks so far
Speaker 3: where it's been like, eh, not the best. They're just
Speaker 3: and I I think that's one of the things they are,
Speaker 3: of all the couples there by far.
Speaker 2: The most consistent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like they're just we And that was the thing
Speaker 3: we joked about after the first episode, was like, well,
Speaker 3: where do you go from here, Robert?
Speaker 2: You started an eleven? Good luck with that. And then
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, he's he's actually maintaining that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's done really well.
Speaker 2: Yeah he has.
Speaker 1: They got ten, nine, nine, and ten, which yeah, carry
Speaker 1: on through out A ten.
Speaker 2: I was like really, yeah, of course really she loves.
Speaker 3: Him, and she's like you're a leading man, Like okay, sure.
Speaker 1: All right, next up Jen and Jan Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I you know, it seemed pretty obvious right away that
Speaker 1: tonight was going to be kind of between yep, Jen
Speaker 1: and Andy Yep. As far as he was going to
Speaker 1: kick kicked off, I think it's probably inevitable that Andy
Speaker 1: will get kicked off next week, but you never know,
Speaker 1: never know, because yeah, I thought this was one of
Speaker 1: Jen's best actually, and again I felt the judges were
Speaker 1: a little too harsh on her. Yeah, I agree with you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I feel like they've decided something about her and
Speaker 1: maybe something about John that we don't know a little
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, like you were talking about that. It
Speaker 1: just it just feels like they're I don't know, they're
Speaker 1: they're they're they're getting they're falling through the cracks. And
Speaker 1: they did fall through the cracks. So I thought this
Speaker 1: was actually pretty great.
Speaker 2: Thought they looked great.
Speaker 1: They looked great. I thought she gave it her all.
Speaker 1: But you know, eight's across the board, and again I
Speaker 1: was like, really, not a nine in.
Speaker 3: There, the same score as the person who didn't dance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seems a little.
Speaker 3: It just it's again that's why they're just kind of arbitrary.
Speaker 3: And did you see this was the first time that
Speaker 3: at least I saw the celebrity not holding her emotions
Speaker 3: back when she was getting her scores.
Speaker 2: She was pissed and you could see that she was pissed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was just like, Okay, well great, not I
Speaker 3: guess I can't do anything was kind of the face
Speaker 3: that I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think unfortunately the favorites are so clear
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that the only people like the judges, are
Speaker 1: being so predictable, which became really obvious during the whatever
Speaker 1: the monster bash dance off at the end of this
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about, which really was that kissed me off? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that the judges have set their their path
Speaker 1: at this point and and unless you the only way
Speaker 1: to upend it is with the popular vote. It seems like,
Speaker 1: and I think Jen was not competing with in the
Speaker 1: popular vote. She doesn't stand a chance against Andy and
Speaker 1: Danielle and the other people that are not like getting
Speaker 1: tens and nines every time. Therefore, I think she went
Speaker 1: into tonight knowing that she just was at a disadvantage
Speaker 1: and that sucks because.
Speaker 3: I think also they had again with all the press
Speaker 3: that they were getting and at Jan was getting. I
Speaker 3: think this was overall just a rough week for them.
Speaker 3: I mean, can you imagine sitting there as your first
Speaker 3: year as a pro. You're on the biggest dance stage
Speaker 3: in America. You're probably loving life, enjoying it, You're just
Speaker 3: with Taylor Swift and one of the other pros comes
Speaker 3: out publicly and it's like you don't belong there.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, dude, that sucks.
Speaker 1: Weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that and I thought he's again knowing nothing
Speaker 3: of dance. He seems like a very nice guy, very personable,
Speaker 3: and you know, they I.
Speaker 2: Thought they were good. I definitely thought they were good.
Speaker 3: And then seeing him dance the pro dance, the interlude
Speaker 3: dance there, this guy can dance, So yeah, this is
Speaker 3: that was rough though, But this was the first time
Speaker 3: I actually saw the contestant like, yeah, I can't do
Speaker 3: anything else.
Speaker 2: They're just they're going to keep giving me eights no
Speaker 2: matter what I do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which sucks because like it's probably bad for her
Speaker 1: career to react this way, right right right. The only
Speaker 1: thing you could do is just be like I had
Speaker 1: a good time, which she says all the right things,
Speaker 1: but I felt the energy like you did, especially during
Speaker 1: the final judging when they wouldn't even look up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one, no one likes the guy who argues
Speaker 3: with the yump. But like nobody nobody likes that guy.
Speaker 1: So if you know you're getting off the show, just
Speaker 1: leave with.
Speaker 3: A smile, hold your head up high. It was so hard,
Speaker 3: and then smash the window in your dressing room. That's
Speaker 3: you know, that's what you do. You do that privately,
Speaker 3: But that was it was tough for her to hide
Speaker 3: her I mean, again, these are not actors. She's a
Speaker 3: TikTok star dancer, so this is nobody classically trained. The
Speaker 3: things like that we knew where you put a big
Speaker 3: smile on your face and then you go and you
Speaker 3: complain to your agent or your publicist. They didn't have
Speaker 3: any of that. You just you wear your emotions on
Speaker 3: your sleeve. But man, it was noticeable she was. She
Speaker 3: was angry, and I think rightfully so, but you still
Speaker 3: got to hide.
Speaker 1: It all right. Next up was Alex and Val. I mean,
Speaker 1: these two are just pretty pretty damn great. During the
Speaker 1: whole pre show package was like, you're gonna be harsh
Speaker 1: with me this time, and Val was very strict, and
Speaker 1: and then they did a great dance they did. And
Speaker 1: what was so funny is they spent all this time
Speaker 1: talking about like the technicality, but actually I thought this
Speaker 1: dance was more fun for its expressiveness and its storytelling,
Speaker 1: Like well all the like buried alive stuff.
Speaker 3: That buried the way it started and the way that
Speaker 3: it ended. We're so cool, so great, but it is
Speaker 3: very and I do not know this man, so I
Speaker 3: could be one thousand percent wrong, and if I am,
Speaker 3: I apologize. But it seems like it's kind of all
Speaker 3: about him. I mean, he's mugging to the camera a lot,
Speaker 3: and it's all and they're the judges are congratulating Val.
Speaker 2: They're like vintage Val.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, he's the pro so, but it seems
Speaker 3: like he's it's a it's it's about Val when you're
Speaker 3: dancing with Val.
Speaker 1: But got the dance to her credit though she's keeping
Speaker 1: up right. And yes, the point is they looked great together.
Speaker 3: They looked great together, and they're hitting them in in
Speaker 3: the head with the shovel at the end of the.
Speaker 1: End was hysterical and perfect.
Speaker 2: It was a great dance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really really really top notch. So ten nine and ten.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the nine real quick because
Speaker 3: I agree with her, but I don't get what she said.
Speaker 3: She's so she said there's a cardinal rule in tango
Speaker 3: that you don't break break contact, like you don't break
Speaker 3: the hold hold, right, So, but does that mean the
Speaker 3: whole dance. You have to be touching, so at the
Speaker 3: beginning you can't start separate.
Speaker 1: Is that what you talk Because they haven't. They always
Speaker 1: break in to do like a lot of times in
Speaker 1: almost every dance. I feel like they have one point
Speaker 1: where they split up you a thing. Are you not
Speaker 1: ever supposed to do that with a tango?
Speaker 3: I don't know, because I thought that's what a side
Speaker 3: by side is is. It's like you gotta also dance
Speaker 3: side by side. So part of me was like, I
Speaker 3: respected the fact that she said it's a cardinal rule
Speaker 3: you don't break hold, so I'm giving you a nine. Essentially,
Speaker 3: It's like it wasn't perfect and that's what a ten
Speaker 3: is for. But at the same time, I was like,
Speaker 3: then do they have to touch the whole dance?
Speaker 2: Like I don't. I didn't understand it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's it's I kind of feel
Speaker 1: like if that is the case, then like they all
Speaker 1: should have kind of held to that.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why I said, I like it would one
Speaker 2: of the charles.
Speaker 1: They would have been the top scorers if they had
Speaker 1: gotten nines across the board, right.
Speaker 2: I don't know, somebody got a ten. Robert got a ten, right, but.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I still be one of the top scorers.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they had gotten all nines. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: could have just said, like, hey, guys, rules of rules.
Speaker 1: We're going to be technical about this.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know. It was it was interesting, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it's uh. They were great.
Speaker 3: They were They were dancing the night For me, I thought,
Speaker 3: uh all the way around, and that's saying something because
Speaker 3: Robert had a great dance. There's a couple of people
Speaker 3: that had great dances, but this one was just kind
Speaker 3: of on another level tonight.
Speaker 1: All right. Then we had Dylan and Daniella, your fave
Speaker 1: them with the nosebreak.
Speaker 2: She felt so bad too.
Speaker 3: You can tell she was just devastated that she broke
Speaker 3: this adonna's face.
Speaker 2: She put an elbow into his nose.
Speaker 1: He could sue her for them all the millions. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna make a by the way, he couldn't tell
Speaker 1: it all like I couldn't see where is no you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: super interesting that he likes romanticy.
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, good for you, dude.
Speaker 1: Have you read romanticy books? I know you're a big
Speaker 1: fantasy person, but.
Speaker 3: Not not really romanticy is not my not.
Speaker 1: My so like Twilight is romanticy.
Speaker 2: Right, I would think.
Speaker 3: So. I think the original what's the one they made
Speaker 3: a huge show about where she's married but then goes
Speaker 3: back into the past and is banging a guy there too, Outlander?
Speaker 1: Outlander?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that so that is another. I think that's also romanticy.
Speaker 3: If there's if there's a wizard and the word throbbing,
Speaker 3: that's romanticy, I think, is what I would say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I thought these guys were great. I
Speaker 1: just loved the two of them together so much. I
Speaker 1: thought the fact, you know, like Danielle Official, he came
Speaker 1: in with like a point of view and wanting to
Speaker 1: like influence the story in the way that I think
Speaker 1: is so fun and oppressive and and should be considered
Speaker 1: as part of like the cool thing about your growing
Speaker 1: as a dancer. You're wanting to express yourself more. You're
Speaker 1: not just taking instructions from a pro. You're like having
Speaker 1: a partnership with your pro where they're listening to you.
Speaker 1: And you know, I feel that from these two, they're
Speaker 1: just dancing together so well.
Speaker 3: And she also I thought it was super cool that
Speaker 3: she started this thing blindfolded. Yeah, I mean, just the
Speaker 3: idea where it's like I'm the pro, but I'm putting
Speaker 3: myself totally in your hands. I'm going to be blindfolded
Speaker 3: like that was. That was a neat twist that you've
Speaker 3: got to do. The first half of the dance blindfolded
Speaker 3: was pretty great.
Speaker 1: Yep, they got nine to nine eight nine. I would
Speaker 1: have given them nines across the board.
Speaker 2: I would have too.
Speaker 3: I would have too Cheryl, But Cheryl was she was
Speaker 3: harsh this, you know, and maybe she's the most real
Speaker 3: of all the judges.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But I thought from a more of an outsider perspective.
Speaker 3: I thought it was cool. They look great together. I
Speaker 3: just my heart broke for her, like his nose broke
Speaker 3: for her when because she just you could tell she
Speaker 3: just felt so bad that this happened. But yeah, he's great.
Speaker 3: He's super personable, very likable. He's gonna be there at
Speaker 3: the end. They're not kicking this guy off anytime soon.
Speaker 3: They announced that he also won the Sexiest Tattooed Guy
Speaker 3: for the People magazine.
Speaker 1: Know what they're talking about.
Speaker 3: So you know how People magazine does Sexiest Man Alive
Speaker 3: every year? Well, there's also subcategories. It's like sexiest funny
Speaker 3: guy sex so he was like sexiest tattoos.
Speaker 1: So they were actually referencing People magazine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who cares people, That's why it's in the title.
Speaker 3: Just ascid throbbing wizard. Yeah, have things that she would
Speaker 3: do with your wand take on a whole different thing
Speaker 3: and romanticy So yeah.
Speaker 1: All right. Then we had this dance of thought, which stupid,
Speaker 1: was really dumb.
Speaker 2: It was so stupid.
Speaker 1: I like it in theory, but then the fact that
Speaker 1: the scoring ended up being almost exactly the order of
Speaker 1: the night, like they were in the order of their
Speaker 1: scores to the night. All it did was just make
Speaker 1: the top scorers top again.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: It was like, why are you doing this if you're
Speaker 1: literally going to eliminate them in the order of you know,
Speaker 1: like the only it seems like the only It came
Speaker 1: down to like whether Robert you know, and Whitney or
Speaker 1: Alex and it was just like, the same people are
Speaker 1: gonna win that were already gonna Look it's so dumb.
Speaker 3: This is also the first thing of the entire show
Speaker 3: that I thought was really poorly directed. Yeah, they're like
Speaker 3: they're kicking people off who aren't even on camera, Like, what,
Speaker 3: what's happening? What the hell is going on? It was
Speaker 3: just a mismash of it was weird. The whole thing
Speaker 3: was just I didn't get it and did the two
Speaker 3: points at the end, Like three points at the end.
Speaker 3: Does that really matter anymore? It's you give your arbitrary
Speaker 3: scores in America votes, you know.
Speaker 1: It's Yeah. When they kicked Andy and Emma off right away,
Speaker 1: I was like, really, yeah, we didn't even get to
Speaker 1: see them for any and then it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna kick the people who were down and
Speaker 1: just like and then we're just adding more to the same.
Speaker 2: YEP.
Speaker 1: I don't see this as allays like more.
Speaker 3: I will say from a physicality point of view, especially
Speaker 3: the people that were there at the end. You got
Speaker 3: to dance for like three or four minutes straight. I
Speaker 3: remember when I took boxing lessons once. My first lesson
Speaker 3: was I had to just hold my hands up with
Speaker 3: boxing gloves on for a one round, which is three.
Speaker 2: Minutes, and it was horrifying.
Speaker 3: So the idea that you've got to dance for three
Speaker 3: or four minutes straight is that in itself is just
Speaker 3: physically impressive, But the whole thing just I was like, wait,
Speaker 3: who do they kick off?
Speaker 2: What's happening? There's a grim Reaper? Who were not cutting
Speaker 2: to what the hell's going on?
Speaker 4: It was just say I was in the audience this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it played out.
Speaker 4: So much better in person than when I watched it
Speaker 4: back on TV, because I was like watching everyone on
Speaker 4: the floor and you would see the Grim Reaper come over.
Speaker 4: Because so what they would do is they would hold
Speaker 4: up a sign saying like Andy and em are out,
Speaker 4: and then the Grim Reaper would come over and pull
Speaker 4: them away and take them out. So in the ballroom
Speaker 4: it made sense on TV, it didn't translate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well then they cut.
Speaker 3: They should cut to the judges holding up the placard
Speaker 3: and then cut the guys out.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was probably just too much visual.
Speaker 1: It was just too much happening. I think that's why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's hard to direct something like that, you know. It's
Speaker 1: when they kept cutting to the overhead.
Speaker 2: Shot, right, Okay, weird?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I guess we don't have a Will
Speaker 1: Rider be on Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 3: The only thing I was going to say to up
Speaker 3: the ante was I, unfortunately just got a call from ABC,
Speaker 3: and to do Dancing with the Stars, you have to
Speaker 3: sign a dual contract.
Speaker 2: You also have to hop over and do American Idol.
Speaker 1: Oh never, never, I just have to sing.
Speaker 3: You have to first dance and then go on tour,
Speaker 3: and then you have to go and you have to
Speaker 3: sing on Idol to start all over, and you have
Speaker 3: to sing on Idol, and then after that you have
Speaker 3: to go on Top Chef and then for some reason
Speaker 3: you have to go.
Speaker 1: On I would I would do like a something like
Speaker 1: But singing and dancing are just too close to my heart.
Speaker 2: It's too close, I know.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I got the game's over. You're on the show.
Speaker 3: We got to come up with a new one.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. People have said, you
Speaker 3: have to ask me what I would do to be
Speaker 3: on the show.
Speaker 1: But there's I I think we could do that maybe.
Speaker 2: But there's no.
Speaker 3: But again I said no for different reasons. I just
Speaker 3: don't think I'd ever learned how to dance. Like the
Speaker 3: social media stuff. I don't do social media at all,
Speaker 3: but I could do it and forget it, Like I
Speaker 3: would have them run my social media platform.
Speaker 2: I would have nothing to do with it. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: look at it.
Speaker 1: So if they just asked right now, like let's just
Speaker 1: say they just ask for next season, you'd probably do it.
Speaker 2: Then maybe not.
Speaker 3: My anxiety would probably get the better of me because
Speaker 3: I have I have anticipatory anxiety. So the closer I
Speaker 3: got to having to do stuff like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I have to dance tonight, I think my anxiety would
Speaker 3: probably get the better of me.
Speaker 1: Even if okay, let's just say they outright offered it
Speaker 1: to you based on having listened to this podcast and
Speaker 1: you know that it's based on your personality and them
Speaker 1: wanting you because who you are, and knowing that you're gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, probably not be a great dancer that you
Speaker 1: might be like Andy, right, but but you belove it,
Speaker 1: Like wouldn't that make you feel comforted?
Speaker 2: Maybe?
Speaker 3: I mean maybe I would certainly think about it. It wouldn't
Speaker 3: be an instant. No, I would definitely think about it.
Speaker 2: But it's just not for me. It's like it's just.
Speaker 1: Not for you. But yeah, I think that would be
Speaker 1: part of the charm. Maybe, you know, if they if
Speaker 1: you're coming in as like, hey, I'm a funny guy.
Speaker 1: I would love to get in better shape. This all
Speaker 1: works for me, but ultimately I'm gonna be a horrible dancer,
Speaker 1: I think, and then everybody's along for that journey.
Speaker 2: That could work, I mean, that could work.
Speaker 3: The thing that would also save me, though, is I
Speaker 3: would tell Danielle's story, so I'd be like, sometimes being
Speaker 3: with Jensen is not the easiest thing in the world,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean again, it wouldn't be an instant no, but
Speaker 3: it also it would definitely be seventy thirty no to
Speaker 3: start with, and then my wife woul probably have something
Speaker 3: to say about it too, so we'd have to.
Speaker 1: All right, that's it for this episode of Pod Meets Tworld.
Speaker 1: Join us next week as we continue watching season thirty
