Speaker 2: we met, remember we met, because I didn't want that

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: awkward moment of him trying to be like, oh, yeah,

40
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: I have no idea who you are. And then he

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: brought it up and I was like, what a guy

42
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: he remembers. But do you know what he remembered about me?

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: What?

44
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 6: She's an amazing ping pong player, one of the best,

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 6: Like I'll never forget it, unbelievable. I think I love

46
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 6: ping pong. I play a lot of ping pong with

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 6: my friends, and I think she smoked me.

48
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: That is no surprise.

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: There's like a big rivalry between Becca and my fiance.

50
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: He was like the better ping ponger, right, yeah?

51
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: Non, so where did you guys meet?

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:34,880

Speaker 3: Where was this?

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: So I was hammy from showing your movement and you.

55
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: Guys were doing the ping the ping pong.

56
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,359

58
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 5: We went out to the brig and then we went out.

59
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 6: We found ourselves in some sketchy place with the ping

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 6: pong table.

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: We're like, perfect, let's.

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: Real perfect, do this and then yeah, it was cree

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: so funny.

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 4: And what was your first impression of Danny?

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: So kind, so nice, so normal. I was also kind

66
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: of fresh off the Bachelor, so this world would like

67
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: meeting celebrities and athletes. I was kind of like, whoa,

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: how am I in this right now? So I just

69
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: had to pull out the ping pong and make myself comfortable.

70
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: Uncomfortable. That was awesome. She just smoked me.

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: That's hot.

72
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: One of those skills that you know, bring out when

73
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: you need. Tanya has been dying to have you because

74
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: she's been obsessed with you since well, I don't know.

75
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: She was complicated, So it's a complicated relationship because I

76
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: don't watch football, but I have a lot of questions

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: about football that I'd like to ask at some point anytime.

78
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: So I didn't know you as like a football player.

79
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: I knew you, I knew somebody that you had dated

80
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: in the past, and then it was like a book relationship.

81
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: And then you broke up and I did not love

82
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: you after that.

83
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably rightfully.

84
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: So okay, so I didn't know you after that.

85
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Then you go on Special Forces, which is like one

86
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite shows.

87
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's all I knew you as. I didn't

88
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: know you as this football player.

89
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: And my fiance was like, no, he's amazing. He was

90
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: like this amazing football player. And then I watched you

91
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: on Special Forces and I was like, oh my gosh,

92
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: I love this guy. Like you really turned me over

93
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: on that show. And then watching you on Dancing with

94
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: the Stars, it like turned me even more onto you.

95
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: So now I like love.

96
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: You a roller coaster that I went on by a roller.

97
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: Do you feel like other people have had that same

98
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: reaction as they like seeing you kind of evolved?

99
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, just doing stuff outside the

100
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 6: box of football, it just opens up, you know, different

101
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 6: avenues to see people in different lights, you know. I mean,

102
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 6: I'm definitely like a warrior mentality on the football field,

103
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 6: and you know a lot of times that's kind of

104
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 6: portrayed in a different way because I have to you know, mentally,

105
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 6: you know, in a different space to perform at a

106
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 6: high level in the NFL. So it's hurt me in

107
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 6: some ways, but in other ways it's it's helped me.

108
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 6: Uh And then just doing fun stuff like this really

109
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 6: kind of you get to see me in a different

110
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 6: light and more this is me.

111
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 5: You know, this is normal Danny.

112
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: So it's so it's like it's true because I would

113
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: never I don't know, I just never saw you as that,

114
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And like even through these shows,

115
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: you see you at your like the most vulnerable, and

116
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, you are a warrior, Like you're so badass.

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 5: Thank you.

118
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

119
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, he is, and definitely in like rehearsals too, and

120
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 7: like you don't stop, Like he literally is like no breaks,

121
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 7: like just goes head on, like and I think that's

122
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 7: why the performance aspect is so tricky, because like he's

123
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 7: used to just putting his head down, getting it done,

124
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 7: getting the job done, and I'm like, Okay, well this

125
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 7: isn't Dancing with the Stars. Like you're gonna be in

126
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 7: rhyin stones and you're gonna have to smile a little

127
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 7: bit and we're gonna have to hear what you have

128
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 7: to say, and like you real feelings, you know, have

129
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 7: got to come out. And I think that's why our

130
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 7: Contemporary was such a breakout moment for us, because it like.

131
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: Showed a little bit of his personal story.

132
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 7: You know, he'd get dedicated it to his former coach,

133
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 7: Mike Leach, who passed away, so it's kind of an

134
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 7: opportunity for him to like show his vulnerable side. And

135
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 7: that was kind of like a breakthrough moment where people

136
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 7: are like, oh, yeah, like Danny is a great, incredible athlete,

137
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 7: but he also can show, you know, some other sides

138
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 7: to him.

139
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I think you forget that like when

140
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: you especially people in the public eye, they just see

141
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: you as what they see you you, you know what

142
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like your football player, and like you just

143
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: kind of have that like you associate that with something

144
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: else and then it's like we're all so multifaceted, you

145
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like we all have so much

146
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: in us, but by the way that contemporary dance. That

147
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: song by Ex Ambassadors is like my favorite song of

148
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: all time.

149
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: It's so good, it's so beautiful.

150
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, you actually suggested it right like when we were

151
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 7: because what happens is we have a we have a

152
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 7: music to part and they kind of like pick the

153
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 7: celebrities brains before they get on the show, and we

154
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 7: kind of they talk about, like what's your favorite songs

155
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 7: and like who do you we have a dedication week,

156
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 7: like who would you want to dedicate it to? Yeah,

157
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 7: and so Danny actually came up with that with that song,

158
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 7: and I was like, that's perfect, Like it's so good,

159
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 7: it's so good.

160
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it was so underappreciated, so I

161
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: appreciate that you brought it back to life again the song,

162
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: like the song just it all hits so perfectly.

163
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good one, It really was. We

164
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: worked really hard on it.

165
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: Do you have a feeling like when you're like when

166
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: you're doing the choreography for a dance and you know

167
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: that like, Danny, you're such a great example of what

168
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: the show is about because you came in not having

169
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: I don't know your dance experience background, but it definitely

170
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: felt like it's been an adjustment for you. It's like

171
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: something a craft that you're learning. And I feel like

172
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 2: that's the point of the show is to watch someone

173
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: who has little to no dance experience become a dancer. Yea,

174
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: And I feel like you. I can't think of like

175
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: a better partner for someone or coach because I feel

176
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: like you're so tough.

177
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: I hear that like the hardest I'm I feel like

178
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: you said that.

179
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: Actually I'm really not.

180
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I just I want them to do that.

181
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 7: Like there's no yelling like at all, but there's definitely

182
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 7: like I definitely want to push us to be the

183
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 7: best because I'm used to being the best, so like

184
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 7: if I'm anything less, like I don't like it. So

185
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 7: I definitely push us for sure. But yeah, like you said,

186
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 7: like that's what the show is about, like taking someone

187
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 7: with no dance experience at all, And like I remember

188
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 7: our first rehearsal. I was like, Okay, what can you do,

189
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 7: like just show me anything, and it was like, yeah, nothing,

190
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 7: what you do?

191
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 5: I don't know any dance moves?

192
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 6: Like I can like break it down out of wedding

193
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 6: if I've had you know, a couple of glasses of mind.

194
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: But I can't.

195
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 5: Under the influence of the influence.

196
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a blank slate in terms of exactly in

197
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 6: terms of dancing.

198
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 7: But and like definitely someone that I could just like

199
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 7: kind of mold like that was just like down for anything,

200
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 7: which was great, Like he's a sponge. He definitely wants

201
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 7: to get better, which is it's been awesome, it really has.

202
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 7: I mean we're working on the rhythm part and the

203
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 7: hips part.

204
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 6: I'm still trying to get down like the counting, Like

205
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 6: why do you count to eight?

206
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: I don't know which is how the bars.

207
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 7: The bars are in eights usually with music or sixes

208
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 7: with waltz, but that's how we kind of count. But

209
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 7: sometimes like choreographically, I like to choreograph to the music.

210
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: So that's a little bit more helpful. Yeah, so I can.

211
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 7: Say, like this word, you're stepping here, and this word

212
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 7: you're doing this, And so that's been better so that

213
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 7: the counts.

214
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: Do you guys ever fight?

215
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: No, really, I'm not a fighter. I'm really not.

216
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 7: And like if he gets pissed, like yesterday he was

217
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 7: super mad.

218
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just kidding this. He didn't get the steps right.

219
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I just don't want to. I want I

220
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 6: don't want to waste her time in disappoint her. So

221
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 6: I'm like, all right, if I need to practice by

222
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 6: myself for five minutes, like I can, like give me

223
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 6: like five minutes and.

224
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 5: I'll get it done.

225
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 6: Because I mean, she's a professional. I know what it's

226
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 6: like being a professional and having like an amateur. Joe

227
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 6: walk in and be like all right, this is terrible.

228
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 6: But I'm like, all right, let me get this down

229
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 6: at least in my own mind for like two minutes

230
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 6: so we can.

231
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 5: I don't waste your time.

232
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, But like if he gets mad like that, like

233
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: I love it, Like I like.

234
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 7: Smile and I'm like, this is good. This means you

235
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 7: want it, you know, Like, so it doesn't bother me

236
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 7: at all. It's not like it affects.

237
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 5: No, I'm not mad at her.

238
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: And that's what I know. It's you're not mad at me.

239
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 3: You're just like wanting to get it so badly that

240
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, yeah, that's the passion we need. I

241
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 3: love it.

242
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: So last week we were talking to Jenna and Joey

243
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 2: and I asked her if y'all have any say in

244
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 2: who your partner is but she was saying it's a

245
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: total surprise. So you've danced with professional athletes before, do

246
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: you feel like there's an advantage just because of the

247
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: mindset of wanting to win, Like there's that ingrained sense

248
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: of I'm ready to tap literally tackle this absolutely, So, like,

249
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: do you feel like there's an advantage there.

250
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 7: I do feel like there's a little bit of an

251
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 7: advantage with an athlete because, like you said, they have

252
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 7: that mentality, and then when you get out on stage,

253
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 7: you never know how the celebrity is going to react

254
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 7: when it's game time, like when the lights are on,

255
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 7: so you can be perfect in rehearsals and they can

256
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 7: be perfect in rehearsals, and then when you get in

257
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 7: front of the camera and the lights and the music

258
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 7: comes on, like that's when people either you know, shy

259
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 7: away from it or they step up. So that's another

260
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 7: thing with athletes that you cannot teach is like game time,

261
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 7: and that's a huge advanta and huge advantage for sure.

262
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I feel like having someone who should because

263
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 2: but I also feel like even in Special Forces, it

264
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: was kind of like just put just survive, like get

265
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: put your head down and do what they tell you.

266
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: To do. They're screaming at you, you're exhausted, but there

267
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: is the element of get it done, but also put

268
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: on a smile, yes, yeah, be a showman, right, and

269
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: don't mess up your steps. So there's this other added

270
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: element to it that you didn't have in football or

271
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: special forces.

272
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 6: For me, I think even when I I think back

273
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 6: of going to playing in big games, like I've been

274
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 6: in a lot of playoff games and played in three

275
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 6: super Bowls, and like I would turn an opening kickoff

276
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 6: to a super Bowl like the most nerve wracking experience

277
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 6: of my entire life. But one thing that I've really

278
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 6: kind of honed in on is just being super prepared,

279
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 6: whether like going drilling everything one hundred times over and

280
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 6: then and just being super prepared for me takes the

281
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 6: anxiety away from getting in front of the camera. So

282
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 6: when it does come time for like live show night,

283
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 6: when we're dancing, it's like, all right, it's just practice,

284
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 6: Like stay in the pocket, like has she told me

285
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 6: last week, Like just don't overdo it. You don't have

286
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 6: to think outside your body, do anything crazy, just do

287
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 6: it as we as we trained. And that's very similar

288
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 6: to two athletics in football, in particular.

289
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 4: So, yeah, that mentality I wish I had more of that.

290
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: It's hard.

291
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: No, I'm serious, Like that athlete mentality, it's so like,

292
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: it's so beneficial. I think you can take it into

293
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: so many different aspects of life, and I just don't

294
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: have that. Yeah, Like if I was trying to teach

295
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: me a dance and I couldn't get out, it'd.

296
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 4: Be so frustrated.

297
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: I try to teach her them. I don't even teach

298
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: me TikTok dances, not even a dance lip sync, And

299
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: it's just like I can't. I can't.

300
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: I can't.

301
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

302
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you can't be a perfectionist too.

303
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: I know that I should be more like an athlete.

304
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 5: I think again, with everything, it comes with experience, you know.

305
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, for me.

306
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 6: You know, my dad's a football coach, So I grew

307
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 6: up kind of playing in front of a lot of

308
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 6: people in Texas and then going to a big time college,

309
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 6: uh experience, and then playing in big games.

310
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 5: The NFL is just.

311
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 6: Like like even the biggest like Super Bowl games, like

312
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: like you get it's like you see the glitz and

313
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 6: the glamour and the spectacle of the whole thing. But

314
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 6: like once the you know, whistle to whistle, Once you

315
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 6: get hit the first time, it's like, all right, now

316
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 6: you kind of you you kind of folk, you're you

317
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 6: have laser focus after that, and it's just like basically

318
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 6: kind of goes back to your training, back to practice.

319
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 7: And something that has been kind of hard is like

320
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 7: just like meshing the steps to like performing, like like

321
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 7: you gotta smile here, like you gotta look like you're

322
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 7: having fun. He's like, I am having fun. He's like

323
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 7: this is really fun. I'm like, you don't look like

324
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 7: it because he's focused. So it's like it's like.

325
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,359
Speaker 3: One of these.

326
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 7: And so like that's been probably the biggest challenge. It's

327
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 7: just like you can't put your head down. We gotta like,

328
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 7: we gotta performance aspect.

329
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 6: Of the whole thing. Is that's been the toughest part

330
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 6: for me. Yeah, but it's like hard at you bubblegum

331
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 6: and dance too. It's like God like two things that

332
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 6: want three things at once. Like so with the small

333
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 6: intangibles that you see the pro the male pros, you know,

334
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 6: with the head turns and kind of like the little

335
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: flicks and stuff in between, Like that's damn near impossible

336
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 6: for an amateur. So it's like I'm trying to take

337
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 6: as many notes as possible and ask Gleb and ask

338
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 6: you know, vow as many questions and Brandon all the

339
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 6: all the pro guys that help.

340
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: Maybe we just need some pads and help.

341
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: Get out there.

342
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: Was the was the chin wave like part of the

343
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: choreo or did you just like throw that in?

344
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 5: That was part of it. Yeah, we wanted to.

345
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 6: We we love Deadpool, right and I'm sure you guys

346
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 6: have seen Deadpool Wolverine, but we wanted to break the

347
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 6: fourth wall and and kind of mess with the audience

348
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 6: or mess with the camera in some way like Ryan

349
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 6: Reynolds does as Wade.

350
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 5: But that was That's kind of what we came up

351
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 5: with and threw it in there.

352
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fun. I mean you kind of came

353
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: up with that.

354
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: Was that man, as you coach, come on, She's like.

355
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: You take it.

356
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: You did have a move that went has gone fully viral,

357
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,359
Speaker 2: which we are going to attempt after this podcast.

358
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: No, we're not gonna attempt. We're gonna do it.

359
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: We're gonna help you go.

360
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, we're gonna do the move. But it's it's

361
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: called the Archer and it was during your contemporary dance. Yes,

362
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: And I feel like you made it look very easy.

363
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: And I have seen some people at home doing it

364
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh wow, they are they a professional dancer?

365
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: Surely what's the catch here? But did you have any

366
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: idea when you did that? Have you done that in

367
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: a dance before?

368
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: No, I have never done it in a dance before.

369
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 7: I think there's been like similar versions of it, you know,

370
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 7: But I think we just kind of made.

371
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: Something that worked for us, and that's kind of like

372
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: what we always do.

373
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 7: But I had no idea that it would go as

374
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 7: viral as it has been. And some people have been

375
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 7: absolutely killing it and some people have been hurting herself fails,

376
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 7: please use caution. And we actually ended up doing a

377
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 7: tutorial because it was like so many people like getting

378
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 7: hurt and we're like, okay, just watch for tutorial so

379
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 7: you can have some pointers before you try it.

380
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 3: But it's it's fairly easy.

381
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 7: If you've ever done like a front walkover, So if

382
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 7: you've had any sort of like pastics, like background or

383
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 7: like any sort of dance experience, you can kind of

384
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 7: feel that. And then you also have to have like

385
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 7: kind of a stronger lead to pull that leg up.

386
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: You have to be pretty strong. I mean, how hard

387
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 3: is that for you?

388
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 6: You're I mean you're you're pretty light and you make

389
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 6: everything look so easy.

390
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 5: Well is a board.

391
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: I got to.

392
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: Say how easy it is?

393
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: Once right, it's gonna be great.

394
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 5: I tried it with a couple other people and and

395
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: it's hard. She makes it. She makes it look very easy.

396
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 7: You tried it with a guy, Like, there's no flexibility there.

397
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 7: You have a little bit of flexibility and it's all

398
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 7: about like the anchor and then just the guy balance,

399
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 7: keeping your balance.

400
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we got this. You got it. Yeah.

401
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 3: Athlete's mentality, ye do or die. Yeah, we're always like

402
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: when we win the Mirror Ball. It's not if it's when.

403
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was going to ask who, who is

404
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: your competition?

405
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 6: Like who?

406
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 2: Because you'll have a really stacked cast. It is so

407
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: stacked and just like beyond the dancing ability, it's like

408
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: likability and there's just it's a it's a really good

409
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: cast that you'll have this year. Who in terms of

410
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: getting to the Mirror Ball do you find to be

411
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: your biggest competition right now?

412
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: Well, there's a couple of different ways I think about this.

413
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 5: You want to on a tip of her time in

414
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 5: I'll chime in, just go ahead.

415
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: I want to hear what you have to say.

416
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 6: Well for me, I mean honestly, like, Okay, we're not

417
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 6: like going against anybody, like physically, Like it's not a game, right,

418
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 6: So in my mind, like I'm I'm going against myself,

419
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 6: Like I want to put the best dance out there

420
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 6: as possible, and I don't.

421
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 5: I can't worry about the judges scores. I can't worry.

422
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 6: About, you know, anybody else's dances. I'm low key like

423
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 6: rooting for everybody, like I want them to kill every

424
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 6: dance do they're good and I want to. I want

425
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 6: to at the end of the night, I want to

426
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 6: do the best I can and have the highest scores

427
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 6: I can possibly get. But I mean there's there's great competition,

428
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 6: there's you know, everybody's having fun, everybody's growing, everybody's loving it.

429
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 6: So at the end of the day, like I got

430
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 6: to look myself in the mirror and say, okay, this

431
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 6: is I got to beat me yesterday.

432
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, I.

433
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: Know, I'm always trying to get him to like give

434
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: me something.

435
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 7: Like like anything, any tea, nothing. He's just like, I

436
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 7: just got to get better. I'm like, Okay, you're so boring.

437
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 7: Everybody's so boring nothing, everybody's I think that, Yeah, it

438
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 7: comes down to like obviously likability, but you have to

439
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 7: be somewhat of a good dancer.

440
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: Like there's got to be both of that.

441
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 7: Like we had Bobby Bones whin and he wasn't the

442
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 7: best dancer on that on that season. So I think

443
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 7: it's just like making sure you show your personality and

444
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 7: you know, making sure that the people love what you're

445
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 7: doing and you're trying hard.

446
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 3: I think right now people are kind of.

447
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 7: Putting you and Joey in kind of the same I

448
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 7: could see that, I think just because joe is, you know,

449
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 7: very likable, Danny's very lit there, like around the same age. Like,

450
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 7: so I think that they're kind of been being pinned

451
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 7: against each other, but you know, it could always change.

452
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 7: I feel like week by week it kind of always changes.

453
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 7: Chandler's also really good.

454
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 5: She's a pro.

455
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 3: She's a pro. Yeah, she's so good.

456
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: A lot of people have been talking about the judge

457
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: of scores. Yeah, seem to be like it's they're really

458
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: making it hard to get to the ten.

459
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: I know what's hard seasons where they throw out those

460
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: tens loosely.

461
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: So it's like, yes, I don't know what goes on

462
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: with the scores. I really don't.

463
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 7: I don't know if they're if the producers are back,

464
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 7: they're like.

465
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: Don't give out a ten. Yeah, Like, I don't know

466
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: what they're saying.

467
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 7: But it's hard to score because each celebrity is so

468
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 7: different in their own right. So it's like people are saying,

469
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 7: you know, Joey got a lower score than Chandler, and

470
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 7: then they're comparing the two, but really the judges are

471
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 7: just trying to score what they're seeing in that moment,

472
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 7: and they're not comparing to the one before. They're trying

473
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 7: not to. And I think that's what's hard, is because

474
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 7: there are no comparisons because everybody is so different. They're

475
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 7: on different levels, you know, so it's hard to kind

476
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 7: of I don't know, it's hard to judge.

477
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: I would have given us a ten.

478
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, the contemporary deserved at least one ten.

479
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 3: And it's halfway through the season.

480
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're at the beginning anymore.

481
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 3: That's notice.

482
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: Maybe you didn't get a ten on the scoreboard, but

483
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 4: you got a ten in.

484
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: Your heart America in America's yeah, all that matters.

485
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 3: I'm waiting.

486
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: I want to talk about kind of the your role

487
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: as like a pro dancer, how it's evolved, because like

488
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: you are a mom now, like is it how is

489
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: your how do you allocate your time?

490
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: It's it's really hard.

491
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 7: It's really hard because a season during the season, Yeah,

492
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 7: like I'm all about like balance, like if if things

493
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 7: aren't balanced, like I kind of go crazy. And there's

494
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 7: just really no balance right now at all, just because

495
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 7: it's so I mean, it's a live show. It's very intense.

496
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 7: We're working every single day. There's no days off, no, no, nope,

497
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 7: we are.

498
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 3: Every single day.

499
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 7: And then now it's getting harder because they're adding another dance,

500
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 7: so now we have two dances this week instead of

501
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 7: just one.

502
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: So it's it's really hard.

503
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 7: But I think you always have to keep a good

504
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 7: perspective like Okay, this will be over and like at

505
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 7: the end of the day, like what is most important

506
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 7: and that is my family and so making time making

507
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 7: sure that I go home and I disconnect from everything

508
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 7: at work, and like prioritize them and put my energy

509
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 7: into them as much as possible. So, I mean I try.

510
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 7: I think every working mom can relate. It's it's really hard,

511
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 7: but you just have to kind of compartmentalize. You know,

512
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 7: when you're there, you're there, and when you're at work,

513
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 7: you're at work.

514
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 4: How do you like keep your energy up? Like give

515
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 4: you the tips and the tricks.

516
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 3: Some tea, some caffeine, Like we're getting good.

517
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 7: Make sure you're in bed, make sure you're getting your sleeps.

518
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 7: We're talking ten to seven, ten to seven, that's what

519
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 7: I get.

520
00:23:49,760 --> 00:24:01,760

Speaker 6: I'm just one hundred percent dance right now. I go

543
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 3: Like put your chest out. I can't. I have a

544
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: metal plate.

545
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 6: Okay, just old football injuries creep up and kind of

546
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 6: get in the way of dance. It's yeah, it's I

547
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 6: don't bend certain ways, and some things are fused and

548
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 6: other things aren't.

549
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 7: But you broke your sternum right or collar.

550
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 6: Bone or something separated my s C joint in my chest,

551
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 6: so my chest like collapse so they had to like

552
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 6: fuse it together.

553
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 5: And then I have rod. I have a rod in

554
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 5: my leg. That kind of my.

555
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 6: Ankle flexibility is trash. So it's like it's hard to

556
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 6: point and stuff like that. But you know, you gotta

557
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 6: you gotta function. Yeah, it's dance.

558
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: Life is the answer. Are you you're single? Do you

559
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 4: like to date?

560
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 5: I mean I've been single now.

561
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 6: I got out of a relationship like a year and

562
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 6: a half ago, and it's been amazing. Like you know,

563
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 6: I'm just focused on being happy, being peaceful and doing

564
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 6: what I love to do and and just hanging out

565
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 6: with friends, stress free life.

566
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 5: It's really nice, really nice.

567
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I get it.

568
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: I like I I actually as much as I I

569
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: always knew I wanted to be married and I wanted

570
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: to have a family, but like I really did enjoy

571
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: my single life.

572
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 5: Yeah what.

573
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thriving.

574
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 2: No, even like I feel.

575
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 7: Like you've just always wanted to be married. I feel

576
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 7: it's been like you've always just wanted that, I know.

577
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: But the problem is like dating the wrong people can

578
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: suck you know exactly. It can like suck the life

579
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: out of you exactly. And so it was like those

580
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: pockets of moments when I wasn't dating anyone that it was.

581
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: Like I love you love those pockets.

582
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 4: Those pockets they're few and far between, but the pockets

583
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 4: were good.

584
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure.

585
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 6: Right now, I'm just kind of protecting my piece and

586
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 6: it's all about respect and like it's not peace or

587
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 6: respect then, and I don't I just don't mess with it.

588
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: Do you see the thirst traps made of you though?

589
00:26:59,080 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: On TikTok?

590
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 5: Have you seen any of that No, not really.

591
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 4: Made of him. What does that mean?

592
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: They're just like dancing him dancing but like you know,

593
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: they'll throw in a slow mo or.

594
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: Like going faral over him.

595
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, dancing with the Stars couple they've ever like pair

596
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: they've ever had. When he's like I seen him, he

597
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: doesn't have time.

598
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 7: I know, I'm like, I feel like I'm not even

599
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 7: scrolling anymore.

600
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a question about when you are choreographing

601
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 2: a dance. How long does it take?

602
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 7: It takes like, m I think all in all, maybe

603
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 7: like four hours. Like I'll think about it and like

604
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 7: I'll mess with the edit and like I'll like think

605
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 7: about it in my head for a while and then

606
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 7: I'll actually put steps to it and that usually takes

607
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 7: about two hours, and then we'll like be changing things.

608
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 7: So then i'll like put it on him and then

609
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 7: I'll see what works, and then we'll change some things

610
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 7: and we'll change some lifts, have some usually like plan B. Yeah,

611
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 7: so it's kind of a whole it's a whole process, Yeah,

612
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 7: throughout the whole week.

613
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: So now when they add two dances in, that's eight

614
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: hours that you're having to spend creating a dance.

615
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 7: Kind yeah, this, this one's not as bad because we've

616
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 7: already done this dance style. Like the second routine that

617
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 7: they've added this week, we've already done it, so we're

618
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 7: just taking things that we've already done.

619
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: So choreographically it doesn't take that much time.

620
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 7: But like rehearsal, we'll have to split up our time now,

621
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 7: which is a little frustrating, but just the name of

622
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 7: the game, that's what we gotta do.

623
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: I'm just like amazed that your brain comes up with

624
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: these dances and then you put it into play and

625
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: that that only takes you four hours. I'm just like

626
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: mesmerized by that.

627
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

628
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 7: It's like all about the song. And if I get

629
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 7: excited about the song, like it always kind of inspires

630
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 7: me here and then I'll just kind of like think

631
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 7: of it there and then once I start dancing, I'll

632
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 7: just do what like feels good. So it's not really

633
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 7: it doesn't feel like it's super exhausting work, you know

634
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 7: what I mean, Like it just kind of feels like

635
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 7: it goes. And then like with ballroom, there's sequences of

636
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 7: dance moves, right, so like the Jive has like you know,

637
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 7: fifteen sequences of steps that you can do, so you

638
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 7: kind of just place them where and then the little tidbits,

639
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 7: the character moments or like the leg lift or whatever,

640
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 7: then you kind of just filter those through, if that

641
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 7: makes sense.

642
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of very different line I have.

643
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: Okay, pardon my my naivete of football, but I understand

644
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: that you retire from football because like it just gets

645
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: to a point where, like it's too physical.

646
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 4: You can't do it anymore. Yeah, when you retire from football,

647
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 4: what do you do after that?

648
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question.

649
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 6: I went into real estate before I retired, So I

650
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 6: build custom homes in Austin. I've been doing that for

651
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 6: about four or five years, either remodeling or I just

652
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 6: finished my last project a couple months ago. So getting in,

653
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 6: I wanted to kind of build a bridge from you know,

654
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 6: the football life into the real world.

655
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: And at least a lot of people stay in the

656
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: football thing and they'll do commentating and like.

657
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: All that stuff.

658
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 4: But I feel like you took a very different route.

659
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I just I'm I just I wanted

660
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 6: some I wanted to stay busy. I love to stay

661
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 6: busy and have meetings or have routine and have you know,

662
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 6: something to always work on. I did coach for the

663
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 6: Raiders last year in Las Vegas, which it was a

664
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 6: great experience, good perspective to get, but it just wasn't

665
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 6: for me with hours and then you know, if I

666
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 6: wanted to see my life going a certain direction, that

667
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 6: it just wasn't going to be conducive. So got out

668
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 6: of coaching and I'm just kind of doing fun things now.

669
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 5: And then you know, the real estate things always going

670
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 5: to be there.

671
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: So so after you in the mirror ball, you're gonna

672
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: go back into real estate.

673
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

674
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, just find more, buy more land, build more stuff,

675
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 6: develop and and just it's always you know, I love

676
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 6: little projects like that.

677
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 4: No, it's good.

678
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fun.

679
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

680
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's keeps you busy.

681
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 6: She's actually building a house too, so at like half

682
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 6: of our rehearsals are like we're going over cabinet. It's

683
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 6: in marble and like, yeah, we're kind of textures and

684
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 6: like every.

685
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 7: Break or like would I think, yeah, which is it's fun?

686
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fun. The renovating process is fun.

687
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I love it. Yeah, I'm obsessed with it.

688
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: Do you have a vision when you talk about seeing

689
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: the direction of your life goes, and you were saying,

690
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: like the hours of coaching, Yeah, what does that look like?

691
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 5: What are Yeah?

692
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 6: So I mean I when I coach in Vegas, right,

693
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 6: And I mean, you know, I'm single, I don't have

694
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 6: a family, and if I were to be working in

695
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 6: the office for seventeen hours a day, like sixteen hours

696
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 6: a day, like, it's not really conducive to finding a

697
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 6: wife and having kids and kind of progressing. And I

698
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 6: don't need to, Like I played football for as long

699
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 6: as I wanted to, really like I'm invested, like I have,

700
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 6: you know, other means of income. I was just kind

701
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 6: of doing it to see what I felt about going

702
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 6: staying in football, and.

703
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 5: You know it's just hours really wouldn't work it out.

704
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 5: So it uh just.

705
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 6: You know, I want to kind of, you know, use

706
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 6: the other half of my brain and do other cool things.

707
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 6: Travel see the world, meet cool people and and do

708
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 6: fun things. So luckily I got I've lived my dream.

709
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 6: So it's like, now, what what do you do? I

710
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 6: feel like a child actor that's done acting.

711
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: I know, I think it's really cool that you still,

712
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: like I think that you have that kind of aspiration

713
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: in you and that you want to keep doing something

714
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: because I mean, and I don't want to like take

715
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: it to a place, but like I feel like you

716
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: did very well in your football career, like you don't

717
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: have to do anything more, you know what I mean,

718
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: Like just like chill and I feel like the fact

719
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: that you do want to get up and you want

720
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: to do something and you want to keep doing stuff

721
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: like says a lot about you.

722
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 5: Thank you.

723
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have a little bit of add two, So

724
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 6: I'm always I always got to have something to do.

725
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 4: You literally like sitting at home playing video games.

726
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 5: I want to rematch.

727
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: To the studio. What have you found to be harder?

728
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: But a football season Special Forces with the Stars.

729
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 6: I think the football season really related to Special Forces

730
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 6: training camp wise, and and for me it was just

731
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 6: like I went into the mentality and I was in

732
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 6: good condition, so I was going to be healthy. And

733
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 6: then I kind of went into training camp mode and

734
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 6: I was like, all right, listen, this is going to

735
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 6: suck for ten days. We're going to get through it.

736
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 6: Every day is going to be groundhog day. It's going

737
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 6: to be all day affair. And it's a lot like

738
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 6: training camp actually for the for the NFL. So I

739
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 6: was used to that for Dancing with Stars, it's a

740
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 6: whole new box, Like you got to show vulnerability. You

741
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 6: really have to dance, you have to perform something, and

742
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 6: it's not just like all right, let's go and be

743
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 6: an athlete. Like you can't just go athlete your way

744
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 6: through this stuff. So that's been the biggest transition for this.

745
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 6: This is definitely outside my comfort zone, which I love

746
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 6: to be in, and I feel like that offers, yeah,

747
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 6: offers a lot of growth and I'm definitely I feel like,

748
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 6: you know, I learned a lot from football, obviously, I

749
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 6: learned a lot from Special Forces and kind of the

750
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 6: vulnerability there and then all so this is completely different

751
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 6: on a more emotional aspect and more of a performance aspect.

752
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 4: So I just I really love you. I think you're

753
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 4: so great.

754
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: No, like really, it's really.

755
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: This evolution that I had just like totally fallen for you.

756
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: And I hope that, like I hope that you win

757
