Speaker 1: and iHeart Radio Podcast. Welcome back to my podcast, jo

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Jose Even now me, I literally said, before I started

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: this podcast, I was like, I'm not gonna do an

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: accident in the intro. What do you know? Somehow I

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: did one. Anyways, Hi, good morning, Welcome back to JoJo's One. Now.

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be talking about the Dance Mom's Reunion.

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I I honestly, when I got pitched

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: the Dance Mom's Reunion and I got asked if I

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: would be interested, I was like yes, and they were like, well,

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: what would it require to get you there? And I

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: was like, I will pay to play, like literally, sign

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: me up. I want to do it. And they were like, really,

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: You're the only one that's reacted like that, and I

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, of course, Like why wouldn't I do it.

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: It's literally one of the biggest parts of my career. Anyways,

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: Dance Mom's Reunion. Just now. I I have a lot

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: of feelings about the Dance Mom's Reunion. I really do.

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: I initially thought it was gonna be something else I did.

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: I thought there was honestly, I'm gonna be super honest,

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: a better way to do it, and I think that

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: we could still do this depending on if people were

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: down or not. But if you watch the Dance Moms rereadion,

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: you'll kind of see what I'm talking about. We all

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: just kind of talked about Dance Moms and reacted to

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: Dance Moms, and I didn't know. Once I found out

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: that's what the reunion was gonna be, I actually felt

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: a little weird about it because I knew Colonie and

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Kendall and I knew that they were doing it. Obviously,

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Me and Colonie are like sisters. I love Colony so much.

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: Kendall is like literally best friend, MATERIAL love her so much.

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: But Chloe, Brooke and Page were the other three doing it,

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: and I've actually never met them before. I met Chloe once,

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Brook and Page literally i've never met before, and so

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't wasn't too sure how it was gonna go,

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. And my one interaction that I

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: have had with Chloe was actually with her mom online

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: and it was not a pretty reaction. And so I

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: don't want to say nervous was the right word choice,

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: but I was I was ticked off, annoyed, confused. Maybe

41
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: those are the right words, because I was like, what

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: is happening. We're gonna go and chit chat and I

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: don't know these humans that I'm chit chatting with, Like

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: this is strange. But then literally, like when I tell you,

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: the first five minutes of all of us being in

46
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: a room, me and Paige were like, we would have

47
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: been best friends Brooke, because Brooke and Klaney were really

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: good friends, and so then me and Paige were like, well,

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: then we would have been good friends because we are

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: basically their little sisters. Like obviously Paige is biological to

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Brooke and I'm basically biological to Colony at this point.

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: And then Chloe. Of course, everybody loves Chloe. She's she's

53
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: so sweet, like she's just she's chilling. But it was like,

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: literally within that first five minutes, it was like so chill,

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this is a great freaking vibe,

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: and like call it a trauma bond maybe, like we've

57
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: all been through the same shit, but it was it

58
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: was good. There was no nothing foul. It was like emotional,

59
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: but like in a happy, fun, positive way, like we

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: were all just kind of like stoked to be around.

61
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: But I don't think any of us knew what to

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: expect or how long of days to expect. So you

63
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: saw a little teeny tiny sliver of our thirteen hour

64
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: double days. We had two days of Philly for the

65
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: dance WM. Sure you did, and they were the longest

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: days literally ever. Sitting in the most uncomfortable chair, more

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: uncomfortable than this, Jojo seewa bed that I am sitting

68
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: on right now, which is not very comfortable. No shade

69
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: to my bed. It's actually the mattress. And the mattress

70
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: is not a jog's mattress, so it's fine. But it

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: was long story short. We just if you haven't seen

72
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: it yet, We essentially we reacted to dance moms and

73
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: we talked about things we were asked certain things that

74
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: we felt about certain things. And what's interesting is all

75
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: of us kind have had a unique experience. There was

76
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: a few times on the reunion where the producers tried

77
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: to do some shady shit. There was one time we

78
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: had to we had to bring up and of course

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: they used this in the trailer. We had to bring

80
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: up those who did not come to the dance Mom's

81
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: reunion and everybody was talking about it. Was not just

82
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: me talking about it, but they used my clip of

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: me talking about it in the trailer, which is understandable.

84
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I get it, you'd live whatever, it's fine. But my

85
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: thing was, it wasn't that people didn't do it. It's

86
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: the reason why they didn't do it, and that's that's

87
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: totally their choice is totally up to them. But it

88
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: was all okay until the day before the Dance Moms reunion.

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: There was a bit of a party, and I didn't

90
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: care that I wasn't invited to the party because I

91
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: didn't know everybody yet. I never met Brook and Page

92
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: in Chloe, but there was a party with everybody. It

93
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: was it was Brooke, Page, Chloe, Maddie, Mackenzie, Nia and Kindle,

94
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: everybody but me and Klannie. Again, I was understanding because

95
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know half of them, Like

96
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: it's totally fine. Like it's also I've just always been

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: the outsider amongst the group, so I didn't really care.

98
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: But Kilanie, I was actually hurt for her. She was hurt,

99
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: but I was hurt for her because I was like,

100
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: you are good friends with all of these humans like

101
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: they are all good friends, and so that was a

102
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: it was a little tough to kind of navigate that,

103
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: and it was kind of like we were doing the

104
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: reunion the next day and they had a reunion even

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: though they weren't a part of the reunion the day before.

106
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: It was just it wasn't done ethically, and so then

107
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: that just kind of put a sour taste in everybody's mouth,

108
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: including those who were at the party the night before.

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,559
Speaker 1: They were like, oh wait, this is kind of messed

110
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: up what just happened once it was put into perspective,

111
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: But look, at the end of the day, we're all adults.

112
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: We all get over things like say your points, say

113
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: your piece, and then let's move on with life. And

114
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: so we did and it was it was fine. They

115
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: like I was saying before, they used my clip of

116
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: me talking about why people weren't there and the reasons

117
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: why they weren't there just kind of was hurtful to everybody,

118
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: But it was like, live your life, do your thing.

119
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: It is fine. We're all gonna live. But we did

120
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: have to essentially bring attention to it just to like

121
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: address the elephant in the room. Anyways, though, we then

122
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: go in and we do a little sit down and

123
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: we watched things. The other thing I was talking about

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: shady things that happened. Other shady thing that happened was

125
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: the producers kind of wanted me and Chloe to get

126
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: into it, and I was like, we don't have a

127
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: reason to get into it. Like Christy had actually, right

128
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: before we started filming, sad some really nice shit about

129
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: me on FaceTime because she wasn't there, but she said

130
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: it on FaceTime, and I was like, damn, Like that

131
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: actually meant a lot to me because I mean, look,

132
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: I looked up to Christy and Chloe, and so when

133
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: we went through our shit online together, I was like, oh,

134
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: I like them. This is sad. Then yeah, the producers,

135
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, wanted me and Chloe to kind of get

136
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: into it a little bit and talk about our online beef.

137
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, honestly, like that's not It's not

138
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: how I feel anymore. And Chloe's like, yeah, that's not

139
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: how I feel either, and they were like, but we

140
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: need to address it. And so then I just I

141
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: told Chloe. I was like all right, bab, like here

142
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: we go, Like let's just let's just do our job.

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Let's just do our job and let's just get it done.

144
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: But I ultimately, as that was happening, I was like,

145
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: this isn't the point of this, but like whatever, I

146
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: find you your job. And then the last thing that

147
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: was shady is of all of us, Me and Kilani

148
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: are the two that have a relationship with Abby yet

149
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: and Kenna is a little bit of a relationship with

150
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: Abby as well, but Pagebrook and Chloe don't have any

151
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: and it is not a healthy end of a relationship.

152
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: It is very messy. It is very traumatic on both ends.

153
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: And the producers kept wanting me to call Abby and

154
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: I was like, absolutely not. I was like, that's that's

155
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: where I put my foot down, because I was like,

156
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: all right, look, I'm not only putting myself in an

157
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: awkward position of calling and in this environment that no

158
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: one invited her to, but also I'm putting Abby in

159
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: a weird situation where she's talking to people who she

160
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily know how to talk to them. And then

161
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Paige Brooke and Chloe, I was like, I'm not gonna

162
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: do that to them either, because this was somebody who

163
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: was a massive figure in their life that walked out

164
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: of their life. There is real trauma there, and I

165
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to put anybody in that situation of like, hey,

166
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: let's let's see how this goes. No way, no way

167
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: at all, whatsoever. The thing for me is I have

168
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: a good relationship with Abby. I have chosen to see

169
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: that Abby only ever wanted what was best for me,

170
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: and only of it was tough on me because she

171
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: was wanting what was best for me. But I I mean,

172
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: I was just talking with Abby literally three days ago

173
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: about karma, you know what I mean. And so for me,

174
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: I wanted to protect my relationship with Abby, and I

175
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: also wanted to protect my relationship with Brooke Page and Chloe.

176
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Abby for me is somebody in this world who any

177
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: time I get a phone call and says everything, I'm like,

178
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: oh shit, here we go. Or I get a text,

179
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, here's a rep, here's a paragraph, let's go.

180
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: But I will one thing is I will never lose

181
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: my respect for Abby ever, for as long as I live.

182
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: I will say, aside from that sort of like little

183
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: drama te session that we just had, the reunion, honestly,

184
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: I think was so healing for all of us. I mean,

185
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: I for sure am the one from dance Loms that

186
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: like doesn't really have anything to heal from, Like I'm

187
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: very open about my journey, like freaking love dance Homs

188
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: a number one fan till the day I die. But

189
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: there was a lot that And I also was super

190
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: outspoken on the show. I was not afraid to talk.

191
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't I didn't care, I was chilling. I was

192
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: a little bit older when I started versus when everybody

193
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: else started, and so I was I had a little

194
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: bit of a different perspective. But I think everybody else

195
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: was a bit silent on the show, and they never

196
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: got to talk about things or never got to express

197
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: things or feel feelings, and so I feel like it

198
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: was a true open space that anybody could say how

199
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: they were actually feeling about something, which was really cool

200
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: to see. And it was cool to see everyone's perspective

201
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: on things in the way that everyone remembered things, because

202
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: everybody's memories a little bit different, of course, but it

203
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: like it almost like triggered little memories that you didn't

204
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: even know you had. And even though Brooke Page, Chloe

205
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: and I were not on the show at the same

206
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: time at all, there was some sense of like Brooke

207
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: would say something and I'd be like, oh my god,

208
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: I can relate to that, like or Page would say something.

209
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: I could so relate to that, and so that that

210
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: for me was kind of like an eye opener of like, damn,

211
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: we really have all gone through the same thing. We've

212
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: all lived the same experience, even though we didn't do

213
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: it together. Then after it was someone's birthday. I think

214
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: it may have been Page's birthday, and so everyone was

215
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: having a sleepover, and honestly, I was just tired. I

216
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: was like, I love y'all, like I know we're all

217
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: homies now, because Chloe was hosting the sleepover, and I

218
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: was like, but I gotta go home. I was like,

219
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: Grandma over here is tired. I had the first call

220
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: time in the morning, and so I was like, nah, dog,

221
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: I will I will see y'all another day. And then

222
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: everybody came the next day and they were all old

223
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: enough to drink, and so they all came in the

224
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: next day. They were hungover as shit, and I was like,

225
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: I feel great. I got a good night's sleep, and

226
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: they were like, we went out, and I was like, yeah,

227
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: y'all did y'all did your absolute biggest But it was fun.

228
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: Everyone had a good time. But yeah, then the next

229
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: day we all kind of were sporadic throughout and we

230
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: all kind of did our own interviews, and there's where

231
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: we really got to deep dive into our own journey.

232
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: I think for me it was more of a fun thing.

233
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Like I literally watched Dance Walls every day, so I

234
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: wasn't shocked by anything that I saw, But I realized

235
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: that no one else had watched the show. Kendall, Kalaane, Chloe, Brook,

236
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: and Page they have never watched Dance Moms, including their

237
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: moms Christy, Kelly, Jill, and Kira. They never watched it,

238
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: and so it was kind of fun for like them

239
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: to see stuff of them. Like for me, I almost

240
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: was sitting there. I was like, yes, I'm a cast

241
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: member of the show. I'm a big part of this show,

242
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: but also I'm a fan like I am. I am

243
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: honored to be sitting in this room right now, And

244
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: I have no shame in saying that. I think a

245
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: lot of times people try to be like too cool, right,

246
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: I have literally no shame in being like I am

247
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: the number one fan of Dance Mom. I was like,

248
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: name an episode, I'll tell you the group dance like,

249
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: I the show's fucking brilliant. I will forever love and

250
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: forever respect it. What else happened on the reunion? Honestly think, Okay,

251
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: this is this is what I want to talk about,

252
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: because my pitch I feel like for the reunion is

253
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: freaking lit. I said, stick all of us in a

254
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: house for a month. See what happens. Everyone gets their

255
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: own bedroom, but this house is rigged. It is bugged.

256
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: It is wired right, and like, imagine because like in

257
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: the two days that we were together, there was drama

258
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: between us, like there was a shade like, oh, everyone's

259
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: eating lunch at one table, but like two people, Like

260
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: there was just like little shady bits. So imagine, imagine

261
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: like that. That blows my mind. Anyways, I think it

262
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: would have been so fun. After we did the dance

263
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: Lom's reunion, we actually kind of got to have another

264
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: reunion about a couple weeks later, we all went to

265
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: the super Bowl together and that I was like, this

266
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: is what the reunion should have been, like this vibe.

267
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: The reunion was so fun at the super Bowl because

268
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: now we all were homies, Like now we all were

269
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: friendly and Mabeling actually is the brand that took us

270
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: all and they were smart. A lot of brands take influencers,

271
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: but they take a random mix. Mabeling got all of

272
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: the Dance Mom's cast. I was like, that is com brilliant.

273
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: They took us all to a show, they gave us

274
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: all outfits, they had us sitting at the super Bowl

275
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: at the forty yard line, like they were brilliant with

276
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: their marketing, and we all had so much fun. At

277
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: this point, now we were all homies and so it

278
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: was like, actually fun, whereas I feel like the reunion

279
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: was a little like timid. Everyone was on angels because

280
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: no one really knew each other. It was an odd

281
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: mix of people, right. But then I feel like when

282
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: we all got to go to the super Bowl together,

283
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: we got to see Oh, which was also incredible. Was

284
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: not the Michael Jackson one or the Loved one, but

285
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: it was it was incredible. And then also my pro

286
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: from Dancing with the Stars, Jenna also joined on that

287
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: group trip, which was so much fun. But yeah, that

288
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: that to me, I was like, that's what the reunion

289
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: needed to be, Like that type of fun vibe. And

290
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: now I do think there's an angle to still do that.

291
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: I feel like we need a fight on the internet

292
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: to get a network to pick that up of like

293
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: here is where the dance BOMs girls are now. Because

294
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: as fun as it was for us to just like

295
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: react to the show and talk about it like kindle

296
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: in college on dance Team, Chloe owns a dance competition.

297
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: Now me and all my shit that I'm doing, I

298
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: don't even know if I'm coming or going. Colonney, Oh

299
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: my god. Klannie is the most open book in the world.

300
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: This girl is all over the place teaching dance. Were

301
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: just so freaking beautiful the way she's giving back to

302
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: the dance world. But then also she's like open about

303
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: like I'm getting a breast reduction this week, Like that

304
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: is imagine if I went to her breast reduction with her,

305
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: like I I wish it was filmed. The day that

306
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: I was having a mental breakdown, I was really sobbing.

307
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: I was really solving my heart out, and Colanie called

308
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: me and she was like, WHOA what am I calling

309
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of And I was like, honestly, like

310
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: it's fine, just distract mammalkay And she was like, well,

311
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm calling to show you my tits. You want to

312
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: see him and I was like, oh my god, yes,

313
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: let's see him. But she had just gotten her reduction

314
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: and she was so open about her journey online, which

315
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: was so fun, Like that is the TV show and

316
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: so I I've made my pitch a lot, but I

317
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: need I need the world to fight with me for

318
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: this TV show. Anyways, the last little thing that I'll

319
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: say about the reunion was having everyone be so open

320
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: about their trauma was so interesting. I didn't really know

321
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot that these girls went through, and that Kilaney,

322
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean especially went through, and especially as her being

323
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: one of my best friends. Kelly Page and Brooke had

324
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: an incredible moment on the show where it was a

325
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: true heart to heart where there was apologies and there

326
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: was tears. Oh my god, there was such a funny

327
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: moment and it was like the Kelly came into like

328
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: comfort Brick and Page and like having one with them,

329
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: and then Jill came in to do the same with

330
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: Kendall and then they were like, all right, Jojo and Colonney,

331
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna go get your guys as moms. And we're like,

332
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: our moms aren't gonna coddle us, Like absolutely not. What

333
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: do you know our moms never came in. I was like, yeah,

334
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: that they would never. My mom literally would never. Mom's like, nah, dog,

335
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm literally here because I have to be here. I'd

336
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: say with Kira that cool. Kia does not give it,

337
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: she does not at all, but she's she's great. Honestly,

338
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: I feel like Kira is like a second mom to me.

339
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: We actually we now have a dance moms group chat.

340
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: We're all gearing up to go do press right now

341
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: for the reunion, and we're all talking about They're all

342
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: talking about I am not a girly girl, and so

343
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: they're all like, would we get aware? What's everybody gonna weare?

344
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Are we gonna change? We do our makeup together, and

345
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, I won't see y'all in the lobby and

346
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: my pants and I won't be there. But yeah, we

347
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: definitely all have a group chat. It doesn't have a name.

348
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to name us. I should

349
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: name our group chat. Let me know if anybody has

350
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: any good ideas. But yeah, we're all gonna go to

351
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: New York together. I'm sure we're gonna go to dinner,

352
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: go to a show. Maybe it's gonna be a lot

353
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: of fun. I keep in touch. I'm very close with Colonnie.

354
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: Me and Colonia are very tight, but everybody else, honestly,

355
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a sister bond. You don't need

356
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: to talk all the time, but the second that we

357
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: see each other, it's like we saw each other yesterday

358
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: and the day before that and the day before that.

359
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: They truly all have such special place in my heart.

360
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Everybody that was on the show, did the reunion, didn't

361
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: do the reunion. I know from the show, I don't

362
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: know from the show. Everybody that was a part of

363
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: Dance Moms has a very special place in my heart,

364
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: and I I'm grateful for because the show would not

365
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: be what it was without every single person that contributed,

366
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: from anyone who was ever on the candy apples to

367
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: the guy holding the microphone, like, every single person contributed

368
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: to that show. And it changed the world. It changed

369
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: my world for sure, It changed the dance world for sure,

370
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: and it changed the reality TV world. And it's freaking phenomenon.

371
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: And to say that I'm a part of it blows

372
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: my mind literally every day, you know, to put it

373
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: all in a nutshell, the Dance Ones reunion, I think

374
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: there is room for a part two, part three, part four,

375
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: maybe even a whole lest other season, maybe a movie.

376
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: I feel like there is so much more that we

377
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: could do with this, but I'm excited that it started here,

378
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: and I am excited that now everyone gets to watch

379
