Speaker 1: You can never be ever well.
Speaker 2: Thank you. This is a good episode. I had a
Speaker 2: lot of fun watching this one.

Speaker 1: during this episode. It's very dramatic, mind you all. Shawnatova,
Speaker 1: it is happy New Year. I was in the process
Speaker 1: of making wait for it, a five hour brisket for
Speaker 1: my family. Wow, well, I want good news. This the brisket. Oh,
Speaker 1: she was cooking. She was cooking for many hours. So
Speaker 1: I had two hours to be like focused on this
Speaker 1: show and it did not disappoint.
Speaker 2: It's so good. And by the way, if you're just
Speaker 2: joining us this we're talking about Dancing with the Stars,
Speaker 2: we are sorry. Season thirty four.
Speaker 1: Thirty four, episode two. It was the double elimination the
Speaker 1: first time. Okay, this brought this was triggering? Is that
Speaker 1: okay to say?
Speaker 2: Yes? I was thinking about that during this episode. I'm like,
Speaker 2: is this okay for Tori to be reliving this moment?
Speaker 1: And the answer, my friend is no, no, No, it
Speaker 1: was not. It was not okay, it was you know what.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, double elimination. Oh yeah, I remember this,
Speaker 1: and yeah, this is the episode last season, season thirty
Speaker 1: three where double Elimination. I went home, Anna Delby went home,
Speaker 1: Pasha went home, Ezra went home. Oh okay, good just
Speaker 1: talking about it with you, this is like therapy a
Speaker 1: year later. I just released a lot of.
Speaker 2: Pent up emotions, a lot of trauma, letting one, letting
Speaker 2: go of this is good.
Speaker 1: This is gross trauma. Here we go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, double Elimination. I mean this is I knew
Speaker 2: we were going to have some heartbreak going into this episode,
Speaker 2: but this is when the competition gets fierce. This is
Speaker 2: what it's all about. This is when people show what
Speaker 2: they've got on the dance floor. And Carrie Anne is back.
Speaker 2: She was out the first week. It's great to see
Speaker 2: her back.
Speaker 1: Boy did I miss her? Gosh, her energy. First of all,
Speaker 1: she's just an amazing human. All three of the judges are,
Speaker 1: and it was just so nice to see them.
Speaker 2: Gap Yes, the whole team back together again. It was
Speaker 2: really fun.
Speaker 1: Okay, one hit wonders. I don't know, how did you
Speaker 1: feel about this choice of a night?
Speaker 2: I I thought it was funny because, like I, I don't,
Speaker 2: I know, one hit wonder isn't like too insulting of
Speaker 2: a term. But I was like, well kind of, I
Speaker 2: mean yeah, some some artists embrace it, but I like,
Speaker 2: I was thinking, like, how much of a bummer would
Speaker 2: it be if you were like? Oh, I thought I
Speaker 2: was like an established artist and now I'm part of
Speaker 2: this one hit wonder thing.
Speaker 1: And uh, someone, well they probably knew before Dancing with
Speaker 1: Stars last.
Speaker 2: Night, I know, but I like to I like to
Speaker 2: think they found out from Dancing with the Stars. Can fantasy?
Speaker 2: Uh like like I'm watching it and uh, one of
Speaker 2: one of them danced to uh love Me by the
Speaker 2: Cranberries or the card again sorry, and uh was up.
Speaker 1: Of the ton because I thought the same thing. So
Speaker 1: as soon as it came up the song by I
Speaker 1: was like the Cranberries, They're not a one hit wonder.
Speaker 2: I thought that too, Okay, So that was Lauren HEREGGI
Speaker 2: dance to love Fool by the Cardigans, and I was
Speaker 2: told my wife. I'm like, they're not a one hit wonder.
Speaker 2: She's like, name me one another Cardigan song. I'm like, okay, well,
Speaker 2: I guess I.
Speaker 1: Can't do that, right Yeah? Yeah, No, I was singing cranberries. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go in order.
Speaker 2: Yes. Uh so we start with great introduction from from
Speaker 2: the other dancers. They were wearing these like beal Juice kind
Speaker 2: of looking striped suits. That was kind of fun. But
Speaker 2: we start with Alex Earl and Val Schmerkovsky. So many
Speaker 2: kicks there. I love a lot of kicks. And alex
Speaker 2: Earl got injured from the first week. She In that
Speaker 2: little intro package, they talk about how she she lost
Speaker 2: a toenail, so that was a that was kind of funny.
Speaker 1: She'll she'll never be on Feet Finder now.
Speaker 2: No, her score plummets after that after that.
Speaker 1: Yes, so, so I hope this influencer thing works out
Speaker 1: for her. Yes, I think she's fine. So they danced
Speaker 1: to Mambo number five by Lou Baker.
Speaker 2: Yes, and some cool splits and a slide from from Val.
Speaker 2: Really high energy in this. I liked this first one.
Speaker 2: I thought this was great and I think alex is
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to expect from her in the
Speaker 2: first episode, and I think she is a force to
Speaker 2: be reckoned with.
Speaker 1: A I agree, I agree. So I wasn't sure if
Speaker 1: I was sold. And this is continuous throughout the show.
Speaker 1: So they had two judges, you know, give their critiques,
Speaker 1: criticism applauds, and one judge each song give one word
Speaker 1: in honor of one hit. Wonder you know what. It
Speaker 1: became a little clear shade throughout it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I just want to hear what you really think about
Speaker 1: not one word?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could tell. Derek Huff was like so over it.
Speaker 2: Halfway through, Like at one point he just says content
Speaker 2: was the word. And at one point he claps that
Speaker 2: his word is clapping.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we'll get to that, but I thought
Speaker 1: his word was on point with content. It was blue
Speaker 1: that threw me off. I was like, I was like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole thing blew. Okay, okay, anyway, we'll get to that.
Speaker 1: But so I have a question for you what your
Speaker 1: theory is. And I honestly don't know the answer to this.
Speaker 1: I am wondering what order they put everyone in. Is
Speaker 1: it like they put all the names in a hat
Speaker 1: and they pull it out and they're like, you're going first,
Speaker 1: you're going fourteenth. I don't know, or is it strategic.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you that question today actually,
Speaker 2: and I was hoping you knew, Like boots on the ground,
Speaker 2: I thought you you would saw that hat the names.
Speaker 1: At No, No, I'm trying. I remember that even Pasha
Speaker 1: didn't know, like so the pros don't know. Wow. But
Speaker 1: I remember him thinking like, Okay, I think we might
Speaker 1: be like in the middle, I think we might. So yeah,
Speaker 1: even they don't know and they're not told. But I
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They watch all the rehearsals twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven, Like there's a control room. So when you
Speaker 1: were doing your rehearsals, there's a camera on you, and
Speaker 1: there is a control room right down the hallway at
Speaker 1: the studio where you practice at the dance studio, and
Speaker 1: there's screens everywhere, and they are watching multiple pros and
Speaker 1: stars dance at the same time, and they are watching cameras,
Speaker 1: they're changing camera angles, they're telling the cameraman to move,
Speaker 1: and so at the end of the day, they have
Speaker 1: literally fifty gazillion hours of practice behind the scenes, which
Speaker 1: I always said to them, like I'm like this is
Speaker 1: this is the good stuff, because you have silliness, you
Speaker 1: have breakdowns, you have breakthroughs. I mean, there's so much
Speaker 1: fun content there that they have it. Anyway, they might
Speaker 1: as well make another show. Seriously, but anyway, I want
Speaker 1: to think they're not going to start a show because
Speaker 1: they want people to tune in. They're not going to
Speaker 1: start a show with performance they know is like mm
Speaker 1: that one they've been struggling. It could hit, it could
Speaker 1: land or not land. So I got to think that
Speaker 1: it's strategic. But I don't know anyway.
Speaker 2: I know you have some theories about mister Irwin, but
Speaker 2: I was wondering if they knew he was going like
Speaker 2: that was just going to absolutely kill and that's why
Speaker 2: he was last in the last week's episode.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go out on a ballroom limb here
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, I think so. I think they bookend
Speaker 1: it with performances that they know are going to crush.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's the right way to do it
Speaker 2: if you're putting a show together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that'd be smart. So yeah, I thought Alex
Speaker 1: did great. They said that her routine was super difficult.
Speaker 1: Now I remember thinking when because you don't know who
Speaker 1: your partner is until you walk in and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's my partner. Each season, I think
Speaker 1: the pros are giving a heads up, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know this, but when you walk in that door,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my gosh. And I was like, walked
Speaker 1: in that door, I'm like, it's Pasha. But I remember
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh, I hope I get val because he
Speaker 1: seems so like charming and cool and fun and sexy.
Speaker 1: And I just remember someone being like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get foul because he is hard on his on
Speaker 1: his stars. He always does difficult choreography and you have
Speaker 1: to it's like boom boom boom. He's not at least
Speaker 1: Pasha like works with you and he's kind, not the
Speaker 1: Vowl's not kind, but he expects a lot from his stars.
Speaker 1: And she didn't disappoint.
Speaker 2: No, she's keeping up with him. God, she has such
Speaker 2: long legs that stuck out to me in this dance.
Speaker 1: It is like her legs are her weapons.
Speaker 2: It's wild.
Speaker 1: Do you think everyone has a weapon?
Speaker 2: Yes? I do.
Speaker 1: So what do you think Pasha said my weapon was?
Speaker 2: I think he said your weapon was your drive? And
Speaker 2: you're You're like, I'm talking of physical physical weapon. Oh
Speaker 2: my goodness, well is.
Speaker 1: It my Donna Martin here? Do you today? Props to
Speaker 1: the like Donna Martin here today? I would say, so, uh, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll just go. He said it was my hands.
Speaker 2: Your hands interesting?
Speaker 1: My hands now right now, I have no nails on,
Speaker 1: but I typically wear badass long nails. I have really
Speaker 1: good like movements with my hands. So he's like, those
Speaker 1: elongated hands are it? And my flexibility? But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: just a party trick. Okay, it's her legs. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Oh let's oh, let's go through and what each each star.
Speaker 1: Let's say what we think is their physical weapon? And
Speaker 1: there what's the other word? Mental weapon? Emotional? Weapone ethereal weapon?
Speaker 2: Fine, yes, Alex definitely a great competitor. Moved on to
Speaker 2: our one of our I hurt family members here, daniel
Speaker 2: of Fischal and Pasha Pasha cough. We love Pasha, We
Speaker 2: love Danielle. They used the rhythm of the night love
Speaker 2: that song so good. Danielle injured her hamstring last week
Speaker 2: and she showed this like and then she got a
Speaker 2: massage and like burstle of blood vessels. Just this massive
Speaker 2: bruise up and down her thigh. Felt so bad for her.
Speaker 2: Uh it was. It was crazy, but she still she
Speaker 2: still danced pretty well. She she kind of flubbed this
Speaker 2: like slide between Pasha's legs at the end.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, so we're in the iHeart family and Danielle
Speaker 1: has her podcast on my Heart. So I was I
Speaker 1: was going into this with trepidation, wondering what you would
Speaker 1: say and not say because we are biased because it's
Speaker 1: our family, right. But I'm glad you said it and
Speaker 1: I didn't. There was a little slub, which I loved
Speaker 1: her recovery and smile, her effervescence. Is that right to
Speaker 1: say is intoxicating. Yes, for someone who says and I
Speaker 1: know this she is not a performer of sorts now,
Speaker 1: she's an actress, but she has never done this type
Speaker 1: of performance ever.
Speaker 2: She is like, wow, yeah, it's it's remarkable. And they
Speaker 2: were the judges were really excited that they that she
Speaker 2: had taken their advice and she was very receptive to
Speaker 2: their criticisms, and I think that's something that's going to
Speaker 2: help her in the long run.
Speaker 1: She said, I'm a sponge, I'm here to learn good
Speaker 1: She's like a politician too, like she she's saying all
Speaker 1: the right things and it's it's organic though. So they
Speaker 1: did they did the Cha cha Rhythm of the Night
Speaker 1: by Corona. You know what I thought it was? At first?
Speaker 1: I saw Rhythm of the Night to the bead of
Speaker 1: the rhythm Love the Night till which I was pumped
Speaker 1: because that's my jam.
Speaker 2: I love that song so much. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I don't know this rhythm of the name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had no idea this song. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: so here's an interesting fact. And not to bring this
Speaker 1: back to me, but I did live in the ballroom,
Speaker 1: so I can bring personal reference. So during rehearsals, I uh,
Speaker 1: before the first dance, I pulled my rotator cuff. We
Speaker 1: were doing a swing and I my shoulder just went
Speaker 1: went out and I was like, oh my god. So
Speaker 1: I was wearing you know, I was wearing a bandage.
Speaker 1: They had a doctor of physical therapist come and worked
Speaker 1: on it, and Pasha said, and it's okay to quote
Speaker 1: him on this, he said, you know what, don't don't talk.
Speaker 1: They're going to try to get you to talk about
Speaker 1: this in your package because it's what's happening in real life,
Speaker 1: you know, And he said, steer away from that. And
Speaker 1: I said, but why, it's what's happening, and what if
Speaker 1: I don't perform as well because my shoulder is out?
Speaker 1: And he said, you don't want the sympathy vote. He said,
Speaker 1: you don't want the sympathy vote, especially week one, so
Speaker 1: we covered it up.
Speaker 2: Wow, uh huh interesting.
Speaker 1: And then I'm curious as to the thought process around
Speaker 1: Danielle talking about her injury. He was like, she's not
Speaker 1: going anywhere. It's okay if she gets the sympathy vote
Speaker 1: or early on, she's going to stay to that. And
Speaker 1: she's like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was, Uh, that's interesting because I would think, like,
Speaker 2: I mean, I you know, when you say it's sympathy vote,
Speaker 2: it sounds so bad. But I was like, I would
Speaker 2: want the judges to know what I was enduring to
Speaker 2: give this performance. But I guess it's well, it matters
Speaker 2: is how you're dancing.
Speaker 1: You know. Okay, So let me just tell you now,
Speaker 1: if we can go back in time, I'm not traumatized
Speaker 1: at all, uh, Carrie in Derek Bruno first week in rehearsals,
Speaker 1: before the first show, I pulled my rotator cup and
Speaker 1: I remember sending a picture to my best friend. It
Speaker 1: was all taped up and I said, here's what happened,
Speaker 1: and she goes, oh, man, so I'm guessing you're out.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I guess you don't know me. Hello.
Speaker 1: Do you know how competitive I am? I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going on. So anyway, anyway, Danielle was amazing.
Speaker 1: I want to say, I think she's so good and
Speaker 1: she's such a performer that I felt like I could
Speaker 1: have seen a little more Pizaz from the choreography.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that fair? Yeah? I agree? Uh yeah.
Speaker 1: I was wondering how much to Pasha, Like he's incredible,
Speaker 1: but I was like, I feel like, you know, here's
Speaker 1: val coming out with like the most difficult dance. Like
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, don't just slip her through
Speaker 1: like show off, because this woman is good.
Speaker 2: She's really good. And I wonder how much of that was,
Speaker 2: like was influenced by the injury, Like I wonder if
Speaker 2: he toned it down.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, and just so you guys know, at least
Speaker 1: at least for us, and I don't know about other
Speaker 1: partners and pairs, but the the dance changes as you
Speaker 1: rehearse because your pro comes in and they've choreographed a dance,
Speaker 1: and then they start to see maybe I had this
Speaker 1: move and she's not great at it, so let me
Speaker 1: replace it with something else. So it does evolve almost
Speaker 1: up to the end. It's changing a bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, every single dance I watch. I just I watched
Speaker 2: the celebrity, and I like, I watch their face because
Speaker 2: I think about, like, you know, we all put ourselves
Speaker 2: in that position, like how would we react, And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I would just be so stressed about remembering what to do.
Speaker 2: And like sometimes I can see them counting a little bit,
Speaker 2: and I wonder, like that was a question I have,
Speaker 2: can you? I think? So I see their lips move,
Speaker 2: and I know they're singing along with the song or
Speaker 2: they're counting, but like, uh, how would you remember some
Speaker 2: of the moves? Is it just muscle memory or like.
Speaker 1: Nope, Okay, So every brain thinks differently, and some people
Speaker 1: just naturally remember things. So my brain is I don't
Speaker 1: remember moves so well. Like I I can remember dates.
Speaker 1: I can remember what I was wearing at a party
Speaker 1: thirty years ago because I'm visual, so I can go
Speaker 1: back and remember it and see it, but you're moving
Speaker 1: so fast that I can't be replaying the rehearsal in
Speaker 1: my head. You don't have time. And also I went
Speaker 1: through black mold poisoning, which when I told I told Pasha,
Speaker 1: I didn't even tell him until I think our second
Speaker 1: dance because he would be like, I don't get it,
Speaker 1: like you did so great, and then we start the
Speaker 1: next morning and you remember nothing, And I said, and
Speaker 1: he goes, or he goes, I will give you the
Speaker 1: most simplistic move and you can't do it. I'll give
Speaker 1: you this difficult move and you nail it. Or I
Speaker 1: will tell you to go left and you go right.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, with the mold poisoning, neurologically, our
Speaker 1: brain's my family and I and hopefully it goes away
Speaker 1: one day. But it wasn't that long ago. It was
Speaker 1: just two years ago. So it's like my brain swaps
Speaker 1: or I'm not fine hiring as quick in that department.
Speaker 1: So he would he finally had to do we had
Speaker 1: to put a he would be like eagle and it
Speaker 1: meant like my eagle move. It was like and he
Speaker 1: would be like the fox, and we would put like
Speaker 1: things to me, like you know, he wouldn't be like
Speaker 1: this dance move step two do you know? Beat beat beat.
Speaker 1: He would give me things that would be like in
Speaker 1: my brain, oh, I can remember. So it's not all animals,
Speaker 1: but it was different things like that, and that got
Speaker 1: us through. So sometimes you could see the pro talking.
Speaker 1: At least in my case, Pasha would be like eagle
Speaker 1: and I'd be like got it. But yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of the times they are singing to
Speaker 1: their song now. I remember hearing somewhere word in the
Speaker 1: ballroom last year that that's looked down upon by the
Speaker 1: judges when they are singing to their song. But this season,
Speaker 1: I feel like almost everyone's singing to their song, don't
Speaker 1: saying anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I remember them they want you to smile,
Speaker 2: and you know they want they don't want you to
Speaker 2: singing along. I've heard that in previous seasons. But Danielle
Speaker 2: looked great. She powered through. Now we have Andy Richter.
Speaker 2: I mean I think everybody his partner's emislater. I think
Speaker 2: everybody went into this. I apologize. I think Adie Richard
Speaker 2: is so funny. I'm such a big fan, but I
Speaker 2: mean he's an older guys. He's not the thinnest guy
Speaker 2: on the dance floor. I think a lot of people
Speaker 2: are like, oh, he's going home. He's not gonna be
Speaker 2: able to do this. I loved his intro package. I
Speaker 2: thought it was so I really liked that he didn't
Speaker 2: just go for a bunch of jokes and be silly.
Speaker 2: He was very sincere and that I found very touching.
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed watching him.
Speaker 1: I'm getting chills as you're saying this because I thought
Speaker 1: the same as you and I worked with Andy. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously I would always see him on Conan and O'Brien
Speaker 1: when I would be on the show, but then I
Speaker 1: worked in Scary Movie two with him, and he is
Speaker 1: just a lovely as lovely can be. But I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. You know what in that first
Speaker 1: week when they made a joke about him being the
Speaker 1: dark horse, I think he might be Listen, is he
Speaker 1: gonna win this competition? We could probably say no, but
Speaker 1: who knows. He is developing so many fans that are
Speaker 1: rooting him on that I don't know he could go
Speaker 1: further than we think.
Speaker 2: It's true. Like I we're going into the episode last night,
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, I mean, I'm just based on characters.
Speaker 2: Going home is what Andy and Andy and Corey Feldmer
Speaker 2: going home? That that's what I was expecting. No, he
Speaker 2: did great, Oh really quick. They have these cool raincoats
Speaker 2: in their dance. They did It's rainom men, and they
Speaker 2: have like a like a news chiron of like the weather.
Speaker 2: And I was wondering what, like some of the dances
Speaker 2: have crazy props and like sets and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: and some of them just have the screen, and I
Speaker 2: wonder how that is decided, Like how much of a
Speaker 2: budget do you get for that kind of thing? When
Speaker 2: you're like putting the dance.
Speaker 1: Together, well, the whole design is present it to you.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like, uh, while you're rehearsing the
Speaker 1: dance for the week before, so week one, at some
Speaker 1: point they do a zoom with you and your partner
Speaker 1: and you talk about the song for week two, and
Speaker 1: they kind of do a whole slide mood board presentation
Speaker 1: for you, okay, and me being me, I of course
Speaker 1: became besties with them, and I was like, I had
Speaker 1: a lot of ideas. I probably not took equal amount
Speaker 1: of time, but took equal amount of time to weigh
Speaker 1: in on everything from the sets, the color palette, the costume,
Speaker 1: the hair, the makeup. In fact, I should share this
Speaker 1: at some point. So for my first dance and my
Speaker 1: second dance, because I only got two, I did a
Speaker 1: full on Pinterest mood board that I sent to the
Speaker 1: team and they actually liked it. It's not like they're
Speaker 1: there to be like, Okay, whatever you want, whatever you want. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. This is a big production, and I would
Speaker 1: I think most people just go, oh, cool, that's cool.
Speaker 1: They might like weigh in on their outfit or something,
Speaker 1: but I think they mostly whatever is given to them,
Speaker 1: they're like, great, that's awesome. Not me. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's great, but I have this vision. Can we combine it?
Speaker 1: Can we do gold instead of silver? Here here's the colors.
Speaker 1: And I'm still friends with them because I think they
Speaker 1: were like, wow, she knows what she's talking about. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's raining men. The theoscasters like wow, smart.
Speaker 2: It's so fun. That does not surprise me in the
Speaker 2: slightest story, just because working even just work on this podcast,
Speaker 2: I mean, you never come in without an idea for something,
Speaker 2: and that is something I really appreciate because there's so
Speaker 2: many people that just kind of you know, hey, whatever, man,
Speaker 2: but no, you know what you want to do or
Speaker 2: you have all these ideas and it's really exciting. It's
Speaker 2: very inspiring to be around.
Speaker 1: So would you say I'm a true producer?
Speaker 2: I would. I absolutely would. Yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 2: fun seeing the costumes and everything. The dance was a
Speaker 2: little low energy, but you know, I think we're kind
Speaker 2: of expecting that. But it was very fun to watch
Speaker 2: his moves.
Speaker 1: It was it was great to watch and it was
Speaker 1: really fun. And yeah, I thought I thought it kind
Speaker 1: of slowed in the middle a little bit where it's raining.
Speaker 1: I don't know, this is silly, but at one point
Speaker 1: I wanted him to do like a Dylan e Fron
Speaker 1: and just rip off his shirt like it raining men,
Speaker 1: you know, and do a little like shake shake shake,
Speaker 1: like Whitney Levitt does through the whole show. But we'll
Speaker 1: get to that. But yeah, he could have pulled his
Speaker 1: pants off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that would be fun. I like Derek saying, like, Andy,
Speaker 2: you capture the essence of why this show exists, Like
Speaker 2: why we do the show is for this God.
Speaker 1: I'm such a sap, like I had no emotions in
Speaker 1: real life and then and like things like this. I
Speaker 1: just got choked up hearing that and got chills, which
Speaker 1: I did at the time, because let's keep in mind,
Speaker 1: when this show started, that's what it was about. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, let's go back to the old we're gonna
Speaker 1: date ourselves here while you're youngest. You probably didn't remember it,
Speaker 1: but there was a show called Circus of the Stars
Speaker 1: on ABC, I believe, and this was in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties, and you're like, yes, CBS, my apology and
Speaker 1: it you know, it was a similar format. It was
Speaker 1: kind of one of, you know, one of the first
Speaker 1: to do something like that. But people weren't great. It
Speaker 1: was just fun to see them in a different element.
Speaker 1: And so that's when this show started. It was it
Speaker 1: was just entertainers out there, kind of like ballroom We
Speaker 1: can't ballroom dance, but we can. We're going to perform
Speaker 1: for you and see where we land. So Derek saying,
Speaker 1: capture the essence of why this show was created was
Speaker 1: dead on, and I wish sometimes it would get back
Speaker 1: to that a little bit more. I agree.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I think about like like The Bachelor, for example,
Speaker 2: like the the original show was like people going on
Speaker 2: this show to meet this guy and hopefully fall in love.
Speaker 2: And now it's kind of become a right, Let's go
Speaker 2: on the show and get a bunch of Instagram followers,
Speaker 2: then become an influencer when we're done. And I think
Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars a little bit is like I
Speaker 2: have a I'm kind of a ringer. I have a
Speaker 2: dance back, like I'm either a professional, like you know,
Speaker 2: something similar to dance, or I have a lot of training.
Speaker 2: I want to get a mirror ball. Let's let's do this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I like someone like figuring out that they enjoy dancing
Speaker 2: and they enjoy moving their body and they're it's it's
Speaker 2: really fun to watch, yeah.
Speaker 1: And out and taking every single star out of their
Speaker 1: comfort zone because it's not something that is natural to them.
Speaker 2: Yes. Absolutely. Our next couple, Lauren Haregi from Fifth Harmony
Speaker 2: and Brandon Armstrong, they danced. We talked about this already,
Speaker 2: but they danced a love full by the Cardigans, as
Speaker 2: made famous by bos Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet.
Speaker 1: I did not know that fact, thank you. I learned
Speaker 1: something to that's.
Speaker 2: Where I know it from the mood lighting I did.
Speaker 2: There's a motion sensor in this room I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at it.
Speaker 2: Actually, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave it like this.
Speaker 2: It's kind of I'm sexy.
Speaker 1: They did the fox trot.
Speaker 2: They did.
Speaker 1: This is the dance I did the first week. It
Speaker 1: is not an easy dance.
Speaker 2: No, that's what it looks difficult. Uh it was. It
Speaker 2: was very fun to watch something. I think it was
Speaker 2: kind of fun about her intro package is like a
Speaker 2: lot of other a lot of the stars, they try
Speaker 2: to like they want a story. You know, they want
Speaker 2: like either, oh, I had a crazy injury years ago
Speaker 2: and it's hard for me to move now, or I'm
Speaker 2: you know, I'm trying to regain some confidence or something
Speaker 2: like that. And Lauren he Reggie's story seems to be
Speaker 2: I had a grandmother and I would like for her
Speaker 2: to see me dance. And I thought that was kind
Speaker 2: of a I was like, oh, is that that's the story.
Speaker 2: It's very sweet, but also.
Speaker 1: I don't know so so just heads up. They have
Speaker 1: a brilliant producing yes staff there and the producers are great.
Speaker 1: So when you do your packages, they ask you a
Speaker 1: slew of questions and you know, it's not like so
Speaker 1: much you're coming in with a story. They are asking
Speaker 1: you so many questions about different things that you're like,
Speaker 1: the story starts to evolve and they're like, oh, that's
Speaker 1: your story. You're sticking to it. Yes, But I wonder
Speaker 1: if will this like carry through this story or was
Speaker 1: this for this week? But I'm gonna have to believe
Speaker 1: she'll be there. It's usually week five, It might be
Speaker 1: different this season. It was week five last season. Dedication dance,
Speaker 1: Oh gotcha?
Speaker 2: Yeah, very sweet.
Speaker 1: But you know what I loved even more though, is
Speaker 1: when she and I wanted her to talk more about this.
Speaker 1: It was the little girl in her that was coming
Speaker 1: out and this dance was kind of reminiscent and of
Speaker 1: every little girl that wants to be a princess told
Speaker 1: they can be a princess, and then life just comes
Speaker 1: in crushes your dreams. So I wanted her and she
Speaker 1: does make note of it at the end that she
Speaker 1: you know, she found her princess and she was able
Speaker 1: to But I wanted her to talk more about that
Speaker 1: little girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's she's really fun. It was a
Speaker 2: fun dance to watch.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Uh, did you feel like you could see
Speaker 1: Brandon talking to her through this dance.
Speaker 2: I did notice that, okay, and I feel.
Speaker 1: Like I don't remember Brandon doing that last year with Chandler. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I didn't know what was happening that he was. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious because, like you know, Fifth Harmony, they dance,
Speaker 2: they're not like a dance heavy group. They mostly sing.
Speaker 2: But like Laura and Hereggi is not new to choreography,
Speaker 2: like she knows how to do that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: But performing in front of be on camera, be.
Speaker 2: On stage and breathing, you know, moving your body that
Speaker 2: kind of thing. But yeah, it looked like Brandon had
Speaker 2: was doing a little bit of coaching out there. I'm
Speaker 2: so curious. I want to know what in the heat
Speaker 2: of the moment what they're saying. Is it a codeword
Speaker 2: like eagle like you were saying. I'm so curious about
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. I wish they were miked. I
Speaker 2: want them to be miked.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, well that would not make us ABC
Speaker 1: friendly because I remember at some point this could have
Speaker 1: been during you know, the rehearsal or the day before,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I remember Pasha being like, oh afterwards,
Speaker 1: like what happened all I heard you say was fuck,
Speaker 1: like under, like, what do my smile? Because you always
Speaker 1: told me smile smile and I'd be like smiling, I'd
Speaker 1: be like fuck with my teeth closed, and he'd be
Speaker 1: like what happened. I'd be like, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, and he would. So here's what Pasha always
Speaker 1: said to me. He said, keep in mind I know
Speaker 1: your dance. You know your dance. They don't know your dance.
Speaker 1: So no matter what happens, if a move goes wrong,
Speaker 1: I'm going to get you through it and get us
Speaker 1: to the next move, don't show it. Have that poker face.
Speaker 1: As long as you have a poker face and nothing
Speaker 1: goes extremely wrong, it's just one little hiccup, they'll never know.
Speaker 1: So that was always and I have big expressive eyes. Yes,
Speaker 1: So that's one thing I had to really work on,
Speaker 1: is if anything went wrong. And I don't think it
Speaker 1: ever really did, I just you know, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not a dancer. But yeah, so you got to have
Speaker 1: that poker face.
Speaker 2: I love it. It's so interesting. Next up we have
Speaker 2: a Jordan Chiles and Ezra So said that they're so
Speaker 2: fun to watch. They danced a jive to Maniac, so
Speaker 2: such fast footwork, and Jordan had these really cool pants.
Speaker 2: I like, I couldn't believe the physicality of this dance.
Speaker 2: She did this like crazy leap over Ezra and then
Speaker 2: into a tumble, showing off those gymnast skills.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got to stop you right there. Oh wow, no, no,
Speaker 1: in a good way.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: When this happened, so I gotta say, first of all,
Speaker 1: I love Maniac. Like I you know, I'm a flash
Speaker 1: dance girl. So it's like she's a maniac and she's so.
Speaker 1: I hear that song since I was a little girl.
Speaker 1: I used to play it and dance to it. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm in when I hear that song. But also, you know,
Speaker 1: I love Ezra. I'm friends with Ezra. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I hope this goes well because I don't want to
Speaker 1: get eliminated double elimination again. Uh. And I'm watching it
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, okay. And when they did
Speaker 1: that crazy which she did that crazy jump and then
Speaker 1: the tumble I had, I physically couldn't catch my breath.
Speaker 1: I had so many emotions. I started crying. Wow, I
Speaker 1: started crying, and I screamed in my house. Fuck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 1: I and the I mean the ballroom went crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That would you call that his his comeback?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, absolutely, that was it. That was like, we
Speaker 2: are here, we are forced to be reckoned with Uh.
Speaker 2: That was awesome. It was so cool. And this was
Speaker 2: the this was the dance where Derek's one word review
Speaker 2: was content and that caught me off guard. I'm curious
Speaker 2: what why you You thought it was entirely appropriate for me?
Speaker 1: I was like that that could go like viral, like
Speaker 1: that one move that is not so you've seen like
Speaker 1: male dance pros do that move because the females are
Speaker 1: typically shorter. Yes, but as was the tall guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's a small woman. So for her to jump and
Speaker 1: get over his head and then do a tumble and
Speaker 1: a crazy I was like, oh my god, so content,
Speaker 1: meaning I think that one clip is going to go
Speaker 1: everywhere online.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. That was when I rewound it
Speaker 2: and watched a couple more times after the show aired.
Speaker 2: It was so good, so good.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Carrie and saying that Jordan
Speaker 1: reminds her of Tina Turner.
Speaker 2: I liked that a lot. I thought that was really appropriate.
Speaker 2: But I my favorite part that I was watching Jordan's
Speaker 2: reaction to hearing that. That made me here. She got
Speaker 2: like very emotional and it made me tea. I really
Speaker 2: liked that part.
Speaker 1: She got really excited. Yeah. I saw a lot more
Speaker 1: of her personality this week. I gotta say, last week
Speaker 1: I felt like she was a little quieter and reserved.
Speaker 1: I feel like she maybe wasn't crazy about her scores.
Speaker 1: This week, I'm like, oh, I really like this girl.
Speaker 1: I can be friends with this girl. I like her,
Speaker 1: So I'm glad she's coming out more and more, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's an athlete. She's there to perform, she's
Speaker 1: not there to make friends. But it's a dancing competition.
Speaker 1: Everyone becomes family. You were so shoved together in a
Speaker 1: box aka dance studio every single day for so many
Speaker 1: hours a day. It is wild. You all become super close.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm a big fan, big fan of this
Speaker 1: of these two. They're going to go far.
Speaker 2: I think, Yes, very excited to see see more from them.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to it.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, Corey Feldman and Jenny Johnson. They danced the
Speaker 2: Baby got Back.
Speaker 1: Sir, mix A lot a lot baby got back. I
Speaker 1: mean we all know this song. We all love this song.
Speaker 2: You love this song?
Speaker 1: Uhacha, I.
Speaker 2: A lot of these movies made me comfort for it.
Speaker 1: Sorry, look are we interrupting you today? And it's just
Speaker 1: from excitement. Yes, okay, you're married. You're used to females interrupting.
Speaker 1: This is what we do. This isn't our DNA and
Speaker 1: it's no disrespect at all. They showed the behind the
Speaker 1: scenes of last week. Oh sorry, were you going to
Speaker 1: say this? And he afterwards, after he got his scores
Speaker 1: and walked off, did he cry he broke down?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see it right.
Speaker 1: Yes, consoling him, you see, maybe and cry.
Speaker 2: I don't know he got I mean he got, he
Speaker 2: broke down. He broke down, definitely. And I think he's
Speaker 2: taking because they got low scores last week. They're at
Speaker 2: the bottom, and I think he's really taken that to heart.
Speaker 2: And uh, you can see he's trying in this, but
Speaker 2: he is.
Speaker 1: It's just I felt bad because, hey, you want confidence.
Speaker 1: If you don't have confidence, you're screwed. Yeah, welcome by world.
Speaker 1: But last week he came in like and they said
Speaker 1: or or Jenna said, do you have a look do
Speaker 1: you have a sorry, do you have any dance background?
Speaker 1: And I felt like, with a lot of confidence, he
Speaker 1: said little good because yes, hullo, but he has dance background,
Speaker 1: not ballroom dance background.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's so.
Speaker 1: Different, like, hey, up in the club in my day,
Speaker 1: I could freestyle like a mofo. But you put me
Speaker 1: in a ballroom and give me steps and it's like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing. It's so
Speaker 1: vastly different. I think to come into it thinking hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got this.
Speaker 2: He he also said something I'm trying to God, I
Speaker 2: didn't write it down, but when they were doing the
Speaker 2: like post interview with Julianne, he said something about like,
Speaker 2: hey man, I just want to you know, I'm just
Speaker 2: trying to get through this or something like that, and
Speaker 2: like it seemed a little flippant. Uh, I'm trying to
Speaker 2: remember it was.
Speaker 1: Was he the one that said about the hours or
Speaker 1: that it's like days a week and ready for it
Speaker 1: to take up as much time?
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, man, and yes a week.
Speaker 1: As in all fairness, you know, they have all different
Speaker 1: types coming into this competition and when you sign on
Speaker 1: and you kind of always do that call at least
Speaker 1: I did. I wanted to ask questions. I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe some people just sign on and he didn't know.
Speaker 1: You know, I asked the questions because I have five
Speaker 1: kids at home, and I was like, you know, how
Speaker 1: much time? How much? And they do they give you freedom?
Speaker 1: They say, hey, you can take up as much time
Speaker 1: training as you want, or you don't have to. But
Speaker 1: that's not necessarily true because they give you a lot
Speaker 1: of time windows. You get like four I feel like
Speaker 1: it's four to five hours a day. You have to
Speaker 1: take the sixth day off, so it's no seventh day off,
Speaker 1: so you can only train six days a week. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they schedule you a time each day, so you go in.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you could say like, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't want my training session today, but who doesn't. We're
Speaker 1: here for a reason. We want to do great. You
Speaker 1: want to and feel our best selves? Yeah yeah, so yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: well I do.
Speaker 2: I loved Bruno's summation of we have entered the realm
Speaker 2: of the bizarre that made that made me laugh. I
Speaker 2: enjoyed that. I didn't like Corey's crotch grab near the
Speaker 2: end of the dance that made me uncomfortable but you know,
Speaker 2: maybe got back gotta be a little cheeky.
Speaker 1: I guess. So, Wait, you were fine with Dylan Efron's
Speaker 1: crotch grab last week but not Corey Fillman's this week?
Speaker 2: Yes, and I and I'm right there with you, Okay.
Speaker 2: I don't want this to be like an agism thing.
Speaker 2: An older man can definitely grab his crotch if he
Speaker 2: wants to. I think it was just the way it
Speaker 2: was executed with Jenna, like on the ground.
Speaker 1: I don't know, and Jenna hyped it up before, like
Speaker 1: we're definitely what did she say, getting a lot of
Speaker 1: internet like play no oh yes during the package? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was like really what but I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's a Michael Jackson move, right, so that's
Speaker 1: why he does it. But what was the billy idol comment?
Speaker 1: Aside from the fact that he has platinum blonde spiky hair.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think was that it was just because
Speaker 2: he has the same hair as mister idyl.
Speaker 1: I mean, how many people have spiky blonde, leech blond hair. Okay, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: Jenna Johnson, props to her. I love Jenna. She worked
Speaker 1: her no pun intended back off, baby got back. She
Speaker 1: worked her booty off this one because she she was
Speaker 1: going for it. And this again, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: why I think it is slightly unfair, because hey, when
Speaker 1: you're watching, you're always going to be looking at the
Speaker 1: female in the flashy outfits. And it's the females that
Speaker 1: get the like lifts and spins and like, and it's
Speaker 1: really it's they say sometimes it's harder for the male
Speaker 1: pros because they're the ones that have to lead, but
Speaker 1: they don't get the flashy stuff. So when you're a
Speaker 1: female in this competition, I feel like all eyes are
Speaker 1: on you. When you're a male in this competition, the
Speaker 1: eyes are not always on you, so you can get away,
Speaker 1: I feel with a little bit more. I except when
Speaker 1: you're Corey Felben. Yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 2: Okay, we should move on here, but really quick. Jenna
Speaker 2: in the intro package, they showed her like being like,
Speaker 2: oh man, I'm not feeling good about this, and like
Speaker 2: she did not have a lot of confidence in those
Speaker 2: in that behind the scenes video, And I always wonder, like,
Speaker 2: like I know they're cutting, they have a lot of footage,
Speaker 2: like you were saying, they just have hours and hours
Speaker 2: and hours of footage I can make anything they want, basically,
Speaker 2: but I always feel kind of bad when they're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: here's the here's the narrative. She's not feeling good about
Speaker 2: the the about their their abilities here and especially show
Speaker 2: improvement and everything. But I just I felt like that
Speaker 2: gets them started on the wrong foot.
Speaker 1: A few packages this week I heard the pro say
Speaker 1: I'm worried. Yeah, I'm like, this is new. Where's your
Speaker 1: poker face? Okay?
Speaker 2: So next Jen Affleck and Jan Rovnick. I really I
Speaker 2: have a lot to say about this. They take on me.
Speaker 2: So first of all, it's so good. It's so good.
Speaker 2: She's a Mormon wife dancing a quick step. Yes, So
Speaker 2: first of all, I'm watching this with my wife. She's
Speaker 2: dancing on a countertop and I did not know that
Speaker 2: right away. And Alison leans over and says, she's like, well,
Speaker 2: this is something she does on TikTok. She dances on
Speaker 2: their countertop in their kitchen. So if you follow on TikTok,
Speaker 2: this is like really exciting. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have known that.
Speaker 1: I am great, great. I wish Allison had told me.
Speaker 1: I caught on. Yeah, And then afterwards saw her with
Speaker 1: her kid doing it. But at first I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not understanding this.
Speaker 2: Is this like a medical counter? Is this a desk?
Speaker 2: What was happening here?
Speaker 1: I thought it was supposed to be a bar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a which wouldn't make sense because they're Mormon,
Speaker 1: they don't drink it.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, it's like a kitchen counter, I believe is
Speaker 2: what it's supposed to be understood. So, something I thought
Speaker 2: was really interesting about this one was so last week
Speaker 2: Jan like she was in the air a lot. He
Speaker 2: was throwing her, he was lifting her, and I felt like,
Speaker 2: this is his first season. I feel like he's really
Speaker 2: trying to show off what he can do. He's fresh
Speaker 2: off the Aras Tour. I think he's trying to make
Speaker 2: a name for himself. And they toned it down this week,
Speaker 2: but he got scolded by Carrie Anne at the end,
Speaker 2: and I was really interested in your take on that
Speaker 2: he did.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I was told going into my competition that
Speaker 1: Carrie Am is a stickler. She's the one that will
Speaker 1: always call you. It's very important to her about following protocol.
Speaker 1: Now there's some dances where you're allowed to do lifts.
Speaker 1: Now there's some dances where your feet your toes at
Speaker 1: least have to always remain on the ground. Interesting, So
Speaker 1: she did. I don't know, and there's different variations, so
Speaker 1: the quick step, I'm not sure, but she did she
Speaker 1: saw something come off.
Speaker 2: That she was Yeah, I was curious because she's like,
Speaker 2: you know, watched those lifts. I almost deducted a point
Speaker 2: for that, and I was like, oh, and like it
Speaker 2: was the first time I'd seen a judge like ad
Speaker 2: dress the pro directly, and it really felt like we
Speaker 2: were in school.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I felt bad for him, but no,
Speaker 1: they'll do that because it's technically, it's not those celebrities fault.
Speaker 1: They don't know, yeah exactly, So it's up to him
Speaker 1: to know when you can do a lift when you
Speaker 1: can't do a lift. But if this is a fair competition,
Speaker 1: shouldn't she have deducted the point?
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's saying it was a warning. She She's like,
Speaker 2: if I see you do another one of these crazy
Speaker 2: lifts next week, I'm detected a point. I couldn't figure
Speaker 2: out what the problem was. I thought it was maybe
Speaker 2: when she jumped off the counter and he caught her.
Speaker 2: It looked like he was a it kind of looked
Speaker 2: like he was almost going to drop her, but but
Speaker 2: it also was kind of just part of the fluidity
Speaker 2: to borrow a term. Uh So, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: have to watch the game tape again to figure out
Speaker 2: what was wrong with these lifts. I was so interested
Speaker 2: in that point. Your point, I.
Speaker 1: Think you would have to literally study each dance to
Speaker 1: see where lifts are allowed and where they're not.
Speaker 2: That's right. They still got high scores though for this dance,
Speaker 2: despite addressing down.
Speaker 1: And I was happy to see her do more moves
Speaker 1: on the ground because I was like, yeah, valid, you
Speaker 1: should be here. You're good. Yes, And she's so damn adorable.
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, she's she's so cute.
Speaker 1: And her baby was there, Oh god, so cute.
Speaker 2: So that was Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnick. I had
Speaker 2: to write down yan y A w n s I
Speaker 2: remember how to pronounce his name. But excited to watch
Speaker 2: them continue. Now we got the the all eyes on
Speaker 2: this next couple, Robert Irwin and Writney Whitney Carson, a
Speaker 2: showstopper last episode. What are they going to do this time?
Speaker 2: Another banger? I thought it was great.
Speaker 1: I thought that another bangers had a term I've never heard.
Speaker 2: That that is a term that I'm using. I thought
Speaker 2: it was great.
Speaker 1: It's like a porn term. Okay, eh, it was Yeah.
Speaker 2: I thought they did a great a great dance to
Speaker 2: It was a tango to move your feet and the
Speaker 2: perfect timing. Really I mean, I mean I think Derek
Speaker 2: pointed this out, but like the way he shifted his
Speaker 2: head was like perfectly in sync. It was really really
Speaker 2: really well done.
Speaker 1: So I was interested to see what was going to happen.
Speaker 1: And I was like holding my breath, like biting my
Speaker 1: nails to see because in her package, their package, she says,
Speaker 1: we have a mark on our backs because I'm assuming
Speaker 1: they're in the top the leaderboard, which means going into it,
Speaker 1: people are going to expect them to do just as
Speaker 1: well or even better every week. So this soon in
Speaker 1: the competition, but you know that that mark is off
Speaker 1: their back because they did not anticipate Wait, they didn't
Speaker 1: miss a.
Speaker 2: Move, yep. They Yes, this is a couple to watch,
Speaker 2: I mean, early contender for the whole thing. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: can't wait to see another dance because I'm like, what's
Speaker 2: going to trip them up? Or will they trip up?
Speaker 2: We'll just continue to rise in quality so if.
Speaker 1: You remember last week, I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: he's too good and so yeah, I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm a fan. This week I'm in.
Speaker 1: It just took me two weeks of them being perfect
Speaker 1: for me to be like, Okay, you're here to stay,
Speaker 1: You're great. I'm just gonna enjoy it now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm I love him, I love him as
Speaker 2: a couple. I love there to watch them dance. I mean,
Speaker 2: I really excited about them.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Bruno's comment powerful clean, clear, don't need gimmicks.
Speaker 1: I think we talked about this last week, but I
Speaker 1: like that this season, I feel like the pros are
Speaker 1: finding the celebrities little like quirks are a little fun
Speaker 1: dances they can do and corporating them. So I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it too.
Speaker 1: I like those fun, little like moves that they can
Speaker 1: do and you're like, that's so cute, that's you.
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to see that personality shine through in
Speaker 2: the dance.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Next up, Elaine Hendrix and Alan Burston A jive to Hey, Mickey.
Speaker 2: It was fun to see Tony Basil show up in
Speaker 2: the in the like to the rehearsals. That was a blast.
Speaker 2: How is it cool? That was very cool?
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, that was amazing. If I were the other celebrities,
Speaker 1: I would have looked back at that and been like, uh, wait,
Speaker 1: where where was our like singer? Our singer didn't show
Speaker 1: up at our rehearsal.
Speaker 2: How come I don't get to meet Hataway, you know,
Speaker 2: or the Cardigans? Yeah, I want all all the Cardigans
Speaker 2: in my rehearsal space. Yeah, it was. It was fun
Speaker 2: seeing Mickey and you know they had these uh these
Speaker 2: really cut DWTS cheerleader outfits. They did a great job.
Speaker 1: Is Elaine Hendrix.
Speaker 2: Elaine Hendrix is fifty four years old, fifty five in December.
Speaker 1: She is the most adorable. She defines cute and I
Speaker 1: remember cute is a very important word to me. And
Speaker 1: I remember I said to a boy once, I said
Speaker 1: you were so cute, and he's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: our kids are cute, our dogs are cute. That's an insult.
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, no, no, for me, cute like
Speaker 1: anyone can be physically. Oh yes, you're good looking. You
Speaker 1: are beautiful, cute in bodies, not just outer but inner,
Speaker 1: And that's what I find her to be. I so
Speaker 1: love the spirit of Elayne Hendrix and she's she's power,
Speaker 1: she's good, she's very good, and she has dance backround, yeah.
Speaker 2: Which helped her in this. You know, you played your strengths.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 2: I think that was a it was a good move
Speaker 2: to do this.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I got to say, oh, Mickey, it's a fine,
Speaker 1: it's a fine. You blow my mind, Hey, Mickey. I
Speaker 1: did in pe physical education, I did uh one year.
Speaker 1: It was fifth grade. We had to do a dance,
Speaker 1: not a dance, but like almost like a moves, like
Speaker 1: you know, kicks, and we had to we did it
Speaker 1: and then if you if you got voted, you had
Speaker 1: to then teach the class. And this sums me up
Speaker 1: for Dancing with the Stars. I couldn't write down and
Speaker 1: remember like a whole routine even though I choreographed it.
Speaker 1: So I literally went in and just freestyled and won.
Speaker 1: And then the teacher was like, Okay, what's the next
Speaker 1: move you did because you're gonna and teach them, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't remember the next move. I
Speaker 1: just you know. And we didn't have phones back then,
Speaker 1: so I think I got in trouble, but I'll never
Speaker 1: forget that. But it was bomb. It was so good. AnyWho,
Speaker 1: moving on.
Speaker 2: When they started, when the Haymaky started, I was thinking
Speaker 2: in my head because that there's a very popular song
Speaker 2: with Bruno Mars right now called in Rose called at
Speaker 2: or Apt and that samples Haymky.
Speaker 1: Can you sing a bit of that? Tony Bole Sue Brute?
Speaker 2: They sampled it, so kay, Tony Basil is an official
Speaker 2: writer on that hit song, on the number one song.
Speaker 1: So she's no longer a one hit wonder. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: doing Okay, she's got.
Speaker 2: Multi you know. I'm curious about that because I interviewed Yeah,
Speaker 2: I interviewed, right, said Fred a few months ago and there,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they're one hit wonders. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: too sexy. But they've also that song was like it
Speaker 2: was a licensed by Taylor Swift and by Drake for
Speaker 2: songs that became hits. So I'm like, well, does that
Speaker 2: make them not one hit wonders anymore?
Speaker 1: I think when this happens in life, they need to
Speaker 1: go back and rewrite history, yes, and take away that
Speaker 1: one hit wonder. Although you might be right, maybe it
Speaker 1: makes them even more popular because it's like a one
Speaker 1: hit wonder. Yeah, Okay, next up, We're.
Speaker 2: Going to the basketball court. Baron Davis and Britz Stewart
Speaker 2: danced to Mamba to Return of the Mac. Such a
Speaker 2: good song. Got to meet Baron Davis.
Speaker 1: They dance a mamba or samba.
Speaker 2: It says here samba, but was there said mama, I
Speaker 2: said mamba. Oh my god, No, maybe you didn't. I
Speaker 2: mean maybe I probably did. It's it's early in the morning, everybody.
Speaker 2: It's ten forty five as we record this. So they
Speaker 2: danced a samba. Really yeah, let's not get confused.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: They dance a samba to Return the.
Speaker 1: I'm just busting your mirror balls. Okay.
Speaker 2: We got to meet Baron Davis's high school basketball coach.
Speaker 2: That was kind of fun. I'm a I'm a fan
Speaker 2: of his basketball playing. Uh this this was a this
Speaker 2: was a rough, rough one. I could tell he was
Speaker 2: you could see it in his face. He was not
Speaker 2: feeling good about this as it was happening, I know, and.
Speaker 1: It broke my heart as I'm watching it. And of
Speaker 1: all weeks, this is the week. What what's his coach name? Dudley,
Speaker 1: known coach, Dudley, coach, coach. They said his name a
Speaker 1: lot of times. That's all I know, even Julianne like
Speaker 1: thanked him when they got their scores. Uh, Darryl Roper,
Speaker 1: coach Roper, where's like a Dudley from.
Speaker 2: Uh, I can see it.
Speaker 1: Coach Daryl. They kept saying they didn't. They didn't say
Speaker 1: mister Roper or coach Roper. They said, right, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. And then oh, but yeah, you
Speaker 1: could see it in his face. And once that face goes,
Speaker 1: that's it. Like if if in the middle of it,
Speaker 1: you're losing it with your confidence so much that it's
Speaker 1: showing on the X here, which is odd for me
Speaker 1: for because I in my mind, I'm like athletes, they
Speaker 1: got this shit nailed, No, because because you think they
Speaker 1: can like that. This is like I remember last season
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard like he was just smooth sailing the whole time,
Speaker 1: even when he wasn't doing great, and because he was
Speaker 1: just like he's having fun. And I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's the athlete in you. You're a performer, so you're
Speaker 1: not nervous, you're not worried about screwing up. In fact,
Speaker 1: he screwed up once and just started doing his own thing,
Speaker 1: and he got props for that because he didn't get
Speaker 1: taken out of the moment. So yeah, poor.
Speaker 2: Baron, Yeah, I feel I feel bad for him. And
Speaker 2: then Carrie Anne got booed when she when she gave
Speaker 2: her criticism and she started and then that was hard
Speaker 2: to watch too, because she's like, what did exactly did
Speaker 2: she say? But she a tough performance to watch and
Speaker 2: everyone starts booing and then.
Speaker 1: She could have phrased it better.
Speaker 2: Out of here, yes, and and she and then she
Speaker 2: started to regret it and was trying to be well,
Speaker 2: I was being too harsh and it was just it
Speaker 2: was really uncomfortable. And then she she's like okay, and
Speaker 2: then sat down and kind of immediately regretted, I think
Speaker 2: saying what she said, Well, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not sure which duo was performing, but did you hear
Speaker 1: because her mic was live that after one performance and
Speaker 1: she gave her critique, she sat back to and she goes, oh,
Speaker 1: my boom, pad did you hear this?
Speaker 2: I did not hear that.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember who was up.
Speaker 2: That's so funny. Yeah, yeah, poor Baron.
Speaker 1: And Bruno couldn't get his paddles right again.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he kept losing the entire show, kept losing
Speaker 2: his paddle. Would you know what?
Speaker 1: I like stuff like this because to me, it feels real.
Speaker 1: I'm in the moment, I'm there. It's not rehearsals. When
Speaker 1: things kind of go wrong in live GV and it's
Speaker 1: like the show's perfect. It's like I'm like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: real people and this is live, and when a mistake happens.
Speaker 2: It happens. Something I really liked was a Bruno couldn't
Speaker 2: find his paddle and he just kept saying his score.
Speaker 2: He was just like he was like, it's six. I
Speaker 2: can't find the six, but it's six. And Julianne was
Speaker 2: like Bruno not giving his score yet and like oh
Speaker 2: she can she not hear him? Is she waiting for
Speaker 2: the visual visual?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. And then he took Derek's at
Speaker 1: one point.
Speaker 2: Thought and then uh so yeah, poor Baron, uh not
Speaker 2: not looking good for him. But somebody keep me to
Speaker 2: point out? Was that jojo Cia sitting behind Alfonso when
Speaker 2: they would cut to us. Yes, I kept At first,
Speaker 2: I was like I can't tell, and then then I
Speaker 2: saw those this big old teeth and I and I
Speaker 2: knew it was her right away.
Speaker 1: That was her. That was her.
Speaker 2: Fun seeing Jojosa in the crowd. Uh, we have another
Speaker 2: Mormon wife. Our next couple, Whitney Levitt Mark ballas very
Speaker 2: uh fan favorites. I believe they were tied for the
Speaker 2: top with with Robert Irwin.
Speaker 1: Last time correct to play that music.
Speaker 2: Played funking music by Wild Cherry and again my my
Speaker 2: wife a huge fan. She pointed out that Whitney had
Speaker 2: been teasing this for uh for weeks. Uh No, maybe
Speaker 2: not weeks, but she's been teasing us on social media.
Speaker 2: She she posted like a couple of days ago about
Speaker 2: how she bought a Louis Vuitton back her first Leviton
Speaker 2: bag and it's covered in cherries and she also wore
Speaker 2: some shoes the cherries on it. So she was kind
Speaker 2: of teasing this song for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Wow. So imagine spending that much money on a bag
Speaker 1: just to coincide with your second dance of a very
Speaker 1: long competition, one hit week, one hit wonder week. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go on record it's not like
Speaker 1: she bought it to coincide with her final dance in
Speaker 1: the finals. So I'm going to go on record that
Speaker 1: one day she's going to look back and be like,
Speaker 1: why did I spend all the money on that bag?
Speaker 1: Saying anyway, you know what I mean, we're co hosting
Speaker 1: a show here. I guess I'm not supposed to beet biased,
Speaker 1: but I went into this with some some favorites, and
Speaker 1: I got to say she wasn't one of them. And
Speaker 1: she's she's I'm a little obsessed with her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's great, great, did the splits at the end
Speaker 2: so cool?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, she is just this is wild. She
Speaker 1: did a lot of throughout the show boob shake.
Speaker 2: Though, yes, yes, a lot of which that's a.
Speaker 1: Little that's a little dicey for Mormon wives mixed with
Speaker 1: our ABC slash Disney Plus audience.
Speaker 2: But but hey, yeah, she had the cool dress with
Speaker 2: all the you know, I don't know what you call it.
Speaker 2: It's not fringe, but there's a lot of tassels. I
Speaker 2: guess that fringe. It's frae that technically fringe. Okay, great,
Speaker 2: I thought that I thought that fringe had to be
Speaker 2: leather or something. But I'm glad I got that. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: she looked so good and and she's really I mean,
Speaker 2: she has a dance background, but she's really letting to
Speaker 2: shine on the dance floor. I'm really impressed by her.
Speaker 1: So impressed. But she also she has a dance background,
Speaker 1: but she doesn't have a background performing in front of
Speaker 1: millions live right. Yeah, is TV's and she's known, and
Speaker 1: she makes reference of it like she's the villain. Yes,
Speaker 1: in the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which I think
Speaker 1: I said it last week, but it is literally my obsession.
Speaker 1: It's like my favorite show right now. And even though
Speaker 1: I have seen both seasons, I put it on as
Speaker 1: my comfort show to go to bed. So it's just
Speaker 1: in the background of my sleep. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on in my brain, but this is my world. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they're great, They're one to watch. I feel like
Speaker 1: they're going to go all the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah. This is the one where Derek gave the big
Speaker 2: clap as his one word.
Speaker 1: Is that a reference to a TikTok thing or mom
Speaker 1: talk or something? I felt like it had to have been.
Speaker 2: I thought that too, but I you know, my wife,
Speaker 2: the expert, she couldn't figure it out either. We thought
Speaker 2: Derek was just running out of running out of sea
Speaker 2: him there. It was just like here you go. But uh, interesting, man,
Speaker 2: very interesting. Uh Hilario Baldwin and Gleb Sebchenko dancing a
Speaker 2: tango to Baby Don't Hurt Me. I had away.
Speaker 1: Ash from the Roxbury yep.
Speaker 2: Uh she almost fell during this Uh during this dance
Speaker 2: that was kind of scary, but a great, great performance.
Speaker 2: Again she also as a dance background. She knows what
Speaker 2: she's doing. Good moves here. What do you think about Laria?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm friends with Hilaria. I didn't love
Speaker 1: it as much as I loved last week's performance. And
Speaker 1: I still don't know why I didn't love it. I
Speaker 1: feel like maybe she wasn't having as much fun. But
Speaker 1: also she's moved her whole family out here. You know,
Speaker 1: they live in New York. She's moved the entire some kids,
Speaker 1: alec all of them to LA right now. And I
Speaker 1: know from experience, and I only have five kids. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you go home and there
Speaker 1: is nothing left in you. But as a mom, kids
Speaker 1: don't care. Yep, They're like mom's home, great, let's go
Speaker 1: and you still have to make dinner, and you still
Speaker 1: have to play and give snuggles and story time and
Speaker 1: do all that. So I remember last year being like
Speaker 1: nobody has five kids here. This is crazy. Hilaria, hats
Speaker 1: off to you because our Ovari's off to you because seriously,
Speaker 1: you have seven kids and you were crushing this and
Speaker 1: then going home and still being mom. So it's yeah.
Speaker 1: So I wonder if she'll sustain the longevity.
Speaker 2: Though, yes, can she keep this? She's going to get tired,
Speaker 2: really tired the high scores this week. And yeah, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't say I'm friends with Hilaria, but I did FaceTime
Speaker 2: with her a handful of times to help her set
Speaker 2: up a microphone, so I feel like we have a bond.
Speaker 2: So I feel a connection.
Speaker 1: To her in Hollywood. You're like besties.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I still have her number in my
Speaker 2: contact so you know, if you steal my phone, you
Speaker 2: can FaceTime. Hilaria Baldwin, Dylan Efron text Yeah. Dylan Efron
Speaker 2: and Daniella Cara gosh Our next dancing a samba to
Speaker 2: the Macarena. Very exciting to see that Dylan Efron is
Speaker 2: cute as a button. I know we were talking about
Speaker 2: cute earlier. That was what I wrote down. He's as
Speaker 2: cute as a button. He's so cool. He did this
Speaker 2: move where he got down on one knee and then
Speaker 2: like pulled himself like it was like a mime, like
Speaker 2: pulled himself forward. I thought that was really fun.
Speaker 1: That was so cool. When they get down their knees,
Speaker 1: this is me. If I got down my knees, I
Speaker 1: like don't have balance, so I have to like push
Speaker 1: myself back up. So I'm always nervous when people get
Speaker 1: down there, and he like, are they going to be
Speaker 1: able to get back up? What if they don't get
Speaker 1: back up quickly? Sorry? I got to go back to
Speaker 1: the package. This is what made me love him even more.
Speaker 1: He was talking about so they did the macarena and
Speaker 1: he was like, this is the first song I ever
Speaker 1: did any choreography too, Yeah, choreography and Danielle. Danielle quickly goes,
Speaker 1: it's choreography. She's like, that's why I love you. It's
Speaker 1: And I was like, was he making a little joke
Speaker 1: like you know show girls like Forsace instead of Versaci,
Speaker 1: Like are we doing a fun thing here? And then
Speaker 1: I quickly looked and I was like, oh no, oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he wasn't making a joke.
Speaker 2: I know that's how he thinks.
Speaker 1: He called him an antelope.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, because of how his legs were moving. I
Speaker 2: that kind of confused me a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know what, I I love this dude, love them
Speaker 1: so much for it. There's just something because you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I and I don't know him personally.
Speaker 1: You do, but I don't know if I have ever
Speaker 1: seen a man this good looking that is goofy and
Speaker 1: I feel like has no concept that he is hot
Speaker 1: as fuck. It's just adorable and no ego. I feel
Speaker 1: like he has no ego. And after last week, I
Speaker 1: did a deep dive into his Instagram and wow, it's impressive.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy can do sports like I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like it. He's so athletic physical, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: But he is so sweet and adorable. You said he
Speaker 1: was sweet he is anyway, I love this.
Speaker 2: I love him he I mean, there's nothing to dislike
Speaker 2: about doing that front. He's just he's the coolest guy
Speaker 2: in the world. I really want him to do it
Speaker 2: literally like he truly is to be his friend.
Speaker 1: And I feel like last week I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I wonder if his hips are going to be as
Speaker 1: fluid this week they were yep, Like he is just
Speaker 1: embodying and he was, and he made a comment Daniella
Speaker 1: does not go easy on him.
Speaker 2: Yes, and that was That was a critique last week
Speaker 2: was Danielle is a very powerful dancer, so don't let
Speaker 2: her overpower you. And it looks like he's he's more
Speaker 2: in control this time.
Speaker 1: He's taken notes. Yes, yes, yeah, they did say they
Speaker 1: wanted him. I believe they said to lead a little
Speaker 1: bit stronger. Yes, but he's getting there. It's the second show. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Our final dance a Scott Hoying from Pentatonics and Riley Arnold.
Speaker 2: I love this song that they danced too. This is
Speaker 2: a song I listened to regularly, Blue Daba d by
Speaker 2: Iifel sixty five. I love this.
Speaker 1: I didn't know the song.
Speaker 2: You didn't know this song. This was massive in nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety nine. It was such a I love this song.
Speaker 2: It's a strange, a French techno song.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying now but I didn't know it.
Speaker 2: I let my wife hates this song. This was a
Speaker 2: point of contention for us last night watching this. Uh,
Speaker 2: but a lot of improvement for Scott for this a
Speaker 2: cappella singer. He did a he did a great job.
Speaker 2: I love their blue outfits. They're wearing the blue sunglasses
Speaker 2: all night, like when you see him in the skybox.
Speaker 1: There commit it.
Speaker 2: Yep, very committed to the blue bit.
Speaker 1: How tall is he? He looks very tall.
Speaker 2: He does look very tall. And Riley Arnold is is
Speaker 2: quite small. Let's see how tall he is exactly?
Speaker 1: He is six foot three three. Yeah, nailed it.
Speaker 2: Wow, a gift.
Speaker 1: Which I don't know anything about polorhm dancing, but I
Speaker 1: wonder if it is harder for a man of stature.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that kind of can can be against
Speaker 1: you if you are super tall in the ballroom. You
Speaker 1: don't see many tall tall ballroom dancers, No, you don't.
Speaker 2: And and Riley's not super she's five eight, She's not
Speaker 2: like incredibly short at but he is a very tall man.
Speaker 2: And I do think that kind of works, not works
Speaker 2: against him, but adds an extra challenge. Yes, I agree, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, big improvement. They didn't do. They didn't have
Speaker 2: insanely great scores, but you know, not terrible, right, but
Speaker 2: they're improving, which is the point of the show.
Speaker 1: You know, last week he had the Lady Gaga moment,
Speaker 1: like so we were all like, oh, yeah, there it is.
Speaker 1: You know the reference to it, like and this week,
Speaker 1: you know, they just had to rely on their dancing,
Speaker 1: and I thought he did so much better. Was it
Speaker 1: made me sad because to see him he doesn't have confidence.
Speaker 1: They said take up more space, and he made it
Speaker 1: sound like that was a personal thing that he's really
Speaker 1: struggling with and working. And I'm like, you're a musician,
Speaker 1: your people love you. And then it's like, wow, okay,
Speaker 1: what you don't know from what we see on the outside,
Speaker 1: we think everyone's confident and great. And I love that
Speaker 1: he showed a very vulnerable side that that's something he's
Speaker 1: struggling with and he'll try.
Speaker 2: Yes, I appreciate that too.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Fun fun to watch. Now we have to that's where yes,
Speaker 2: Derek said, blue is one word. Uh, it's time for
Speaker 2: the eliminations. Very sad moment. But as predicted watching not
Speaker 2: predicted before the episode. I'm saying, as we were watching this,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Talk about the bottom three. Yes, First of all, sorry
Speaker 1: shout out to they gave. They gave Pasha a solid
Speaker 1: pat on the back after he and I were robbed
Speaker 1: last season. They let him know he was safe first
Speaker 1: and that was really kind. He deserved that.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
Speaker 1: And then when I saw that Ezra and Jordan were safe,
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, the to the guy eliminade last season,
Speaker 1: they are safe to dance another dance. So I was
Speaker 1: really happy. But in the bottom three and Andy Richter,
Speaker 1: everyone thought he'd be at least in the bottom three.
Speaker 1: He was safe and the crowd went wild. And then
Speaker 1: we have the bottom three, which.
Speaker 2: Included Hilaria, Corey, and Baron Davis.
Speaker 1: So please enlighten me why you believe Hilaria was in
Speaker 1: the bottom three.
Speaker 2: That did surprise me?
Speaker 1: Did or did it?
Speaker 2: Did it did surprise me? Because I thought she did?
Speaker 2: I thought she she danced really well. And I'm wondering
Speaker 2: how much because I know it's a judge's scores combined
Speaker 2: with the votes. Yes, the vote. I just I'm so
Speaker 2: curious how big of an impact the votes have because
Speaker 2: I'm wondering, like, does Hilaria does not have was she
Speaker 2: not getting the same votes as other people from fans.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to go out on a limb and
Speaker 1: I want to ask, and I don't know because I'm
Speaker 1: trying to figure this out too, because I squealed in
Speaker 1: a bad way when I saw her in the bomb room,
Speaker 1: like this is unfair. And then I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: I wonder if all of everything publicly that has happened
Speaker 1: to her husband, Alec Baldwin and he's been through in
Speaker 1: the past few years. I wonder if that has taken
Speaker 1: an impact on the viewers.
Speaker 2: Yes, I did consider that too, Like are there people
Speaker 2: that because you have this is another thing I'm so
Speaker 2: curious about. I don't know if this data exists anywhere.
Speaker 2: But you have your core, you have your audience, Like
Speaker 2: there are Tory heads that they're not even going to
Speaker 2: watch the show. They'll just vote for you, like as
Speaker 2: soon as the vodeo opens the thin you know. And
Speaker 2: then so you have your core fans that are just
Speaker 2: going to vote for you no matter what, Like you
Speaker 2: could go out there and just read the phone book,
Speaker 2: they will still vote for you. And then there's a
Speaker 2: certain amount of people I wonder that are just they're
Speaker 2: dancing with the Sarus fans and they're watching the show
Speaker 2: and they're like, I'm the fourth judge. You got to
Speaker 2: impress me. My vote is valuable. I'm going to vote
Speaker 2: for who I think is the best tonight, which is
Speaker 2: like how the show should go.
Speaker 1: I think there's less of those people. I think on
Speaker 1: some level it's a popularity contest and it's that's that's
Speaker 1: a tough one. And Hilaria, I mean, she would say
Speaker 1: it herself like she is polarizing, right. There's people that
Speaker 1: are like, love her and love the mom she is
Speaker 1: and she's dedicated and the wife she is and what
Speaker 1: she does. And then there's people that just judge her.
Speaker 1: And she has thick skin and she and I have
Speaker 1: talked about this on misspelling podcasts, but you know there's
Speaker 1: people out there judging her without even noting how brilliantly
Speaker 1: she's dancing. So yeah, I don't know that could hurt her.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I remember the first week when
Speaker 1: I was nervous and I was texting with Iron Zeering,
Speaker 1: my co star from nine two one O, who was
Speaker 1: also on Dancing with the Stars. I believe he went
Speaker 1: to the semi finals and I said, I'm so nervous.
Speaker 1: I don't know and he said, don't worry. He said,
Speaker 1: our fans are nine O two one zero fans will
Speaker 1: get you through till you were confident and have gotten
Speaker 1: comfortable there. Well they didn't, where were they?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can vote in each meet ten times
Speaker 1: for each duo. See, yeah, so you could vote for
Speaker 1: everyone then ten times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'm looking for I mean, I guess you could.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the bottom three here, and these are
Speaker 2: just I mean, Hilaria, Corey and Baron. Those are all
Speaker 2: people that like, I don't like Baron Davis does. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm a fan. I have his jersey in my closet
Speaker 2: right now. But like, Baron Davis doesn't have a huge
Speaker 2: hive of online fans. You know, he's not. He's not
Speaker 2: like a superstar like that. And sa same with Corey
Speaker 2: Felderman and Sam with Filarias. I think that, I mean,
Speaker 2: to me, that's a lot of what happened here. They also,
Speaker 2: you know, Baron had a really bad night. Corey not great.
Speaker 2: Hilaria is the one that surprised me too, like you said,
Speaker 2: but again, thank god she's safe. She can live to
Speaker 2: fight another day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was safe, and that meant Baron Davis Corey
Speaker 1: Feldman were eliminated. Damn, you should say you should play
Speaker 1: some lottery numbers. You called that one.
Speaker 2: It's uh, it makes me sad because you don't want
Speaker 2: to see anyone go home. You want to see everybody else,
Speaker 2: you know, but but Ilsa, it's it's part of the game.
Speaker 1: I felt like they were they were both very hard.
Speaker 2: Yes, I took it very very hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Who did they talk to first? Was it was
Speaker 1: it Baron?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and yeah m hmm. Baron was sad. I
Speaker 1: feel like I've been trying to remember what he said,
Speaker 1: but he kept it pc so it didn't He didn't
Speaker 1: look bitter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he kept it in a few words when his uh,
Speaker 2: during his dance, I mean we were talking about you
Speaker 2: can see it in his face. And then when he
Speaker 2: was getting when they were getting the judges' scores, I
Speaker 2: could I'm like, oh, he's pissed. He is not happy
Speaker 2: about this at all.
Speaker 1: I felt really no. I wanted to think that too.
Speaker 1: I mean I did think that too. But then we're
Speaker 1: always encouraged by our pros like never look bitter and
Speaker 1: never look upset. That will send you home. I remember
Speaker 1: Pasha saying as soon as if you talk back to
Speaker 1: a judge and what the audience could perceive as a
Speaker 1: negative or something, that can be the difference where people
Speaker 1: are like, oh we don't like that. Those are our judges.
Speaker 1: We love them. And you could look like you have
Speaker 1: an ego and that can send you home. So yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he contributed a little bit to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said to see you go. But we have
Speaker 2: another week. Next week is a TikTok night.
Speaker 1: We have got to comment on Corey film just very quickly. Yes,
Speaker 1: he was not happy.
Speaker 2: No, no, he was not.
Speaker 1: He was not happy. And I think he kept it
Speaker 1: all about smart. He's an actor, media trained. He knows
Speaker 1: that he was like, he just kept bringing it back
Speaker 1: to Jenna. He's really bummed for Jenna. She's the queen.
Speaker 1: She won last year. She deserved better. Uh, he didn't
Speaker 1: make it about himself at all. Smart move, smart move. Yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: but he is not a happy camper.
Speaker 2: No, no, not at all. But you know that this
Speaker 2: is the game, this is the answer.
Speaker 1: Do you know what, Corey? You called yourself the comeback
Speaker 1: King and goodies never say die. So I expect a
Speaker 1: lot more from you, from other things and I look
Speaker 1: forward seeing that.
Speaker 2: Yes, looking forward to more from Corey Feldman off the
Speaker 2: not the ball, but in other other parts of life,
Speaker 2: because he's a very talented man.
Speaker 1: Very talented guy well and a good actor. Yes, started
Speaker 1: this could come back king, this could be it.
Speaker 2: I had forgotten he was in Gremlins. They were talking
Speaker 2: about that episode.
Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth. Tell me this guy is a legendlutely
Speaker 1: and you know what, it's about time that this good
Speaker 1: actor is handed back an amazing role. So you know
Speaker 1: what they always say, Dancing with the stars can do
Speaker 1: wonders for people's career unexpectedly. I'm excited to see this.
Speaker 2: Okay, next week, Sorry, yeah, next week TikTok Night. There
Speaker 2: were times in this episode where Alfonso would say, grab
Speaker 2: your second screen and pull and like watch. I think
Speaker 2: he was asking everyone to watch the tiktoks they were posting,
Speaker 2: or like, you know, the stories or whatever. And hearing
Speaker 2: second screen made me feel like it was a dystopian future.
Speaker 2: And then we have TikTok Night coming next week. But
Speaker 2: this is the nature of the of the game.
Speaker 1: I know that this should be fun. You guys to
Speaker 1: listen to us talk about TikTok Night next week, because
Speaker 1: you've tipped your hand a little bit. Allison's going to
Speaker 1: have to guide you through this one. He's going to
Speaker 1: guide me through this one. I don't watch TikTok dances,
Speaker 1: so I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, I'm not on TikTok really, I have
Speaker 2: an account. I don't go on it ever, So this
Speaker 2: will be These will all be new to me, all
Speaker 2: these songs. And I'm curious, like, are they going to
Speaker 2: dance to songs that are big on TikTok? Orre they
Speaker 2: going to dance like the TikTok version where it's like
Speaker 2: the spat up one or it has weird dialogue in
Speaker 2: it or something.
Speaker 1: And Charlie's Amelia is back. Next week is back. This
Speaker 1: is going to be fun. Maybe maybe you and I
Speaker 1: should do a little TikTok dance for next week.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love the idea we can do that.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 2: Well, do you want to make a prediction? Who do
Speaker 2: you think is going to go home? Next week? Next
Speaker 2: week and next week? It's only one elimination, right one one?
Speaker 1: I Well, we don't know the dances. You know what,
Speaker 1: TikTok dances are fast, they're furious. They are their own breeds.
Speaker 1: So if you think, like if you're not geared for
Speaker 1: the ballroom and can't do a ballroom dance, that's a
Speaker 1: whole different thing. But TikTok world, my kids will try
Speaker 1: to teach me TikTok dances. Pasha tried to teach me
Speaker 1: last year to do little videos, and my brain was
Speaker 1: not having that either. So I'm gonna have to think
Speaker 1: that maybe Andy might not be able to keep up
Speaker 1: with the TikTok dance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I hate to say it, but I think.
Speaker 1: I know because I want to see him there do
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But yeah, I think it might be Andy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and who else wouldn't be able to do TikTok dance? Hilaria?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean probably Hilaria, maybe Elaine Hendrix. Maybe she
Speaker 2: might have a problem with it.
Speaker 1: You might be right.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait to see. Can't wait till next Tuesday.
Speaker 1: I know. Let's misstep out of here.
