<v Speaker 1>and iHeart Radio Podcast. Welcome back to my podcast, jo

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Jose Even now me, I literally said, before I started

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, I was like, I'm not gonna do an

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>accident in the intro. What do you know? Somehow I

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>did one. Anyways, Hi, good morning, Welcome back to JoJo's One. Now.

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Today we're gonna be talking about the Dance Mom's Reunion.

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. I I honestly, when I got pitched

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the Dance Mom's Reunion and I got asked if I

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>would be interested, I was like yes, and they were like, well,

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>what would it require to get you there? And I

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>was like, I will pay to play, like literally, sign

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>me up. I want to do it. And they were like, really,

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>You're the only one that's reacted like that, and I

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, of course, Like why wouldn't I do it.

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>It's literally one of the biggest parts of my career. Anyways,

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Dance Mom's Reunion. Just now. I I have a lot

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>of feelings about the Dance Mom's Reunion. I really do.

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I initially thought it was gonna be something else I did.

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought there was honestly, I'm gonna be super honest,

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>a better way to do it, and I think that

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>we could still do this depending on if people were

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>down or not. But if you watch the Dance Moms rereadion,

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>you'll kind of see what I'm talking about. We all

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>just kind of talked about Dance Moms and reacted to

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Dance Moms, and I didn't know. Once I found out

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what the reunion was gonna be, I actually felt

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a little weird about it because I knew Colonie and

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Kendall and I knew that they were doing it. Obviously,

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Me and Colonie are like sisters. I love Colony so much.

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Kendall is like literally best friend, MATERIAL love her so much.

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>But Chloe, Brooke and Page were the other three doing it,

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>and I've actually never met them before. I met Chloe once,

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Brook and Page literally i've never met before, and so

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't wasn't too sure how it was gonna go,

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>if that makes sense. And my one interaction that I

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>have had with Chloe was actually with her mom online

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and it was not a pretty reaction. And so I

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say nervous was the right word choice,

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>but I was I was ticked off, annoyed, confused. Maybe

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>those are the right words, because I was like, what

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 1>is happening. We're gonna go and chit chat and I

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know these humans that I'm chit chatting with, Like

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>this is strange. But then literally, like when I tell you,

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the first five minutes of all of us being in

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a room, me and Paige were like, we would have

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.839
<v Speaker 1>been best friends Brooke, because Brooke and Klaney were really

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>good friends, and so then me and Paige were like, well,

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 1>then we would have been good friends because we are

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>basically their little sisters. Like obviously Paige is biological to

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Brooke and I'm basically biological to Colony at this point.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>And then Chloe. Of course, everybody loves Chloe. She's she's

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>so sweet, like she's just she's chilling. But it was like,

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>literally within that first five minutes, it was like so chill,

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh, this is a great freaking vibe,

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and like call it a trauma bond maybe, like we've

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>all been through the same shit, but it was it

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>was good. There was no nothing foul. It was like emotional,

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>but like in a happy, fun, positive way, like we

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>were all just kind of like stoked to be around.

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think any of us knew what to

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>expect or how long of days to expect. So you

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>saw a little teeny tiny sliver of our thirteen hour

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>double days. We had two days of Philly for the

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>dance WM. Sure you did, and they were the longest

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>days literally ever. Sitting in the most uncomfortable chair, more

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable than this, Jojo seewa bed that I am sitting

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>on right now, which is not very comfortable. No shade

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>to my bed. It's actually the mattress. And the mattress

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 1>is not a jog's mattress, so it's fine. But it

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>was long story short. We just if you haven't seen

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it yet, We essentially we reacted to dance moms and

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>we talked about things we were asked certain things that

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>we felt about certain things. And what's interesting is all

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of us kind have had a unique experience. There was

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a few times on the reunion where the producers tried

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to do some shady shit. There was one time we

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>had to we had to bring up and of course

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>they used this in the trailer. We had to bring

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>up those who did not come to the dance Mom's

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>reunion and everybody was talking about it. Was not just

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>me talking about it, but they used my clip of

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>me talking about it in the trailer, which is understandable.

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I get it, you'd live whatever, it's fine. But my

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>thing was, it wasn't that people didn't do it. It's

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the reason why they didn't do it, and that's that's

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>totally their choice is totally up to them. But it

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was all okay until the day before the Dance Moms reunion.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>There was a bit of a party, and I didn't

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>care that I wasn't invited to the party because I

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't know everybody yet. I never met Brook and Page

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>in Chloe, but there was a party with everybody. It

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>was it was Brooke, Page, Chloe, Maddie, Mackenzie, Nia and Kindle,

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>everybody but me and Klannie. Again, I was understanding because

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I don't know half of them, Like

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>it's totally fine. Like it's also I've just always been

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the outsider amongst the group, so I didn't really care.

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>But Kilanie, I was actually hurt for her. She was hurt,

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>but I was hurt for her because I was like,

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you are good friends with all of these humans like

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.359
<v Speaker 1>they are all good friends, and so that was a

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it was a little tough to kind of navigate that,

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 1>and it was kind of like we were doing the

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>reunion the next day and they had a reunion even

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 1>though they weren't a part of the reunion the day before.

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 1>It was just it wasn't done ethically, and so then

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>that just kind of put a sour taste in everybody's mouth,

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>including those who were at the party the night before.

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.559
<v Speaker 1>They were like, oh wait, this is kind of messed

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>up what just happened once it was put into perspective,

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But look, at the end of the day, we're all adults.

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>We all get over things like say your points, say

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>your piece, and then let's move on with life. And

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>so we did and it was it was fine. They

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>like I was saying before, they used my clip of

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>me talking about why people weren't there and the reasons

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>why they weren't there just kind of was hurtful to everybody,

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>But it was like, live your life, do your thing.

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>It is fine. We're all gonna live. But we did

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have to essentially bring attention to it just to like

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>address the elephant in the room. Anyways, though, we then

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>go in and we do a little sit down and

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>we watched things. The other thing I was talking about

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>shady things that happened. Other shady thing that happened was

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the producers kind of wanted me and Chloe to get

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>into it, and I was like, we don't have a

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>reason to get into it. Like Christy had actually, right

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>before we started filming, sad some really nice shit about

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>me on FaceTime because she wasn't there, but she said

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 1>it on FaceTime, and I was like, damn, Like that

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>actually meant a lot to me because I mean, look,

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I looked up to Christy and Chloe, and so when

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>we went through our shit online together, I was like, oh,

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I like them. This is sad. Then yeah, the producers,

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, wanted me and Chloe to kind of get

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>into it a little bit and talk about our online beef.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, honestly, like that's not It's not

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>how I feel anymore. And Chloe's like, yeah, that's not

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>how I feel either, and they were like, but we

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>need to address it. And so then I just I

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>told Chloe. I was like all right, bab, like here

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 1>we go, Like let's just let's just do our job.

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's just do our job and let's just get it done.

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>But I ultimately, as that was happening, I was like,

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>this isn't the point of this, but like whatever, I

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>find you your job. And then the last thing that

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>was shady is of all of us, Me and Kilani

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 1>are the two that have a relationship with Abby yet

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and Kenna is a little bit of a relationship with

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Abby as well, but Pagebrook and Chloe don't have any

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>and it is not a healthy end of a relationship.

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>It is very messy. It is very traumatic on both ends.

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>And the producers kept wanting me to call Abby and

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, absolutely not. I was like, that's that's

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>where I put my foot down, because I was like,

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>all right, look, I'm not only putting myself in an

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>awkward position of calling and in this environment that no

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>one invited her to, but also I'm putting Abby in

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a weird situation where she's talking to people who she

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't necessarily know how to talk to them. And then

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Paige Brooke and Chloe, I was like, I'm not gonna

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 1>do that to them either, because this was somebody who

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>was a massive figure in their life that walked out

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>of their life. There is real trauma there, and I

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to put anybody in that situation of like, hey,

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>let's let's see how this goes. No way, no way

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 1>at all, whatsoever. The thing for me is I have

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>a good relationship with Abby. I have chosen to see

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that Abby only ever wanted what was best for me,

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and only of it was tough on me because she

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>was wanting what was best for me. But I I mean,

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I was just talking with Abby literally three days ago

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>about karma, you know what I mean. And so for me,

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to protect my relationship with Abby, and I

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>also wanted to protect my relationship with Brooke Page and Chloe.

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Abby for me is somebody in this world who any

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>time I get a phone call and says everything, I'm like,

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>oh shit, here we go. Or I get a text,

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, here's a rep, here's a paragraph, let's go.

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.679
<v Speaker 1>But I will one thing is I will never lose

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>my respect for Abby ever, for as long as I live.

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I will say, aside from that sort of like little

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>drama te session that we just had, the reunion, honestly,

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I think was so healing for all of us. I mean,

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I for sure am the one from dance Loms that

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>like doesn't really have anything to heal from, Like I'm

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>very open about my journey, like freaking love dance Homs

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 1>a number one fan till the day I die. But

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot that And I also was super

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>outspoken on the show. I was not afraid to talk.

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't I didn't care, I was chilling. I was

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit older when I started versus when everybody

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 1>else started, and so I was I had a little

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of a different perspective. But I think everybody else

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>was a bit silent on the show, and they never

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>got to talk about things or never got to express

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>things or feel feelings, and so I feel like it

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>was a true open space that anybody could say how

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.319
<v Speaker 1>they were actually feeling about something, which was really cool

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.319
<v Speaker 1>to see. And it was cool to see everyone's perspective

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>on things in the way that everyone remembered things, because

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody's memories a little bit different, of course, but it

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>like it almost like triggered little memories that you didn't

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>even know you had. And even though Brooke Page, Chloe

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and I were not on the show at the same

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 1>time at all, there was some sense of like Brooke

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>would say something and I'd be like, oh my god,

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I can relate to that, like or Page would say something.

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I could so relate to that, and so that that

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>for me was kind of like an eye opener of like, damn,

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>we really have all gone through the same thing. We've

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>all lived the same experience, even though we didn't do

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it together. Then after it was someone's birthday. I think

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it may have been Page's birthday, and so everyone was

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>having a sleepover, and honestly, I was just tired. I

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>was like, I love y'all, like I know we're all

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>homies now, because Chloe was hosting the sleepover, and I

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>was like, but I gotta go home. I was like,

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 1>Grandma over here is tired. I had the first call

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>time in the morning, and so I was like, nah, dog,

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:13.679
<v Speaker 1>I will I will see y'all another day. And then

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody came the next day and they were all old

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>enough to drink, and so they all came in the

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>next day. They were hungover as shit, and I was like,

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>I feel great. I got a good night's sleep, and

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>they were like, we went out, and I was like, yeah,

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>y'all did y'all did your absolute biggest But it was fun.

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Everyone had a good time. But yeah, then the next

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.840
<v Speaker 1>day we all kind of were sporadic throughout and we

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 1>all kind of did our own interviews, and there's where

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>we really got to deep dive into our own journey.

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I think for me it was more of a fun thing.

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Like I literally watched Dance Walls every day, so I

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't shocked by anything that I saw, But I realized

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that no one else had watched the show. Kendall, Kalaane, Chloe, Brook,

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and Page they have never watched Dance Moms, including their

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>moms Christy, Kelly, Jill, and Kira. They never watched it,

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.439
<v Speaker 1>and so it was kind of fun for like them

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>to see stuff of them. Like for me, I almost

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>was sitting there. I was like, yes, I'm a cast

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>member of the show. I'm a big part of this show,

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>but also I'm a fan like I am. I am

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>honored to be sitting in this room right now, And

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I have no shame in saying that. I think a

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of times people try to be like too cool, right,

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I have literally no shame in being like I am

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the number one fan of Dance Mom. I was like,

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>name an episode, I'll tell you the group dance like,

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I the show's fucking brilliant. I will forever love and

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>forever respect it. What else happened on the reunion? Honestly think, Okay,

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>this is this is what I want to talk about,

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 1>because my pitch I feel like for the reunion is

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>freaking lit. I said, stick all of us in a

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>house for a month. See what happens. Everyone gets their

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 1>own bedroom, but this house is rigged. It is bugged.

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 1>It is wired right, and like, imagine because like in

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the two days that we were together, there was drama

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>between us, like there was a shade like, oh, everyone's

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>eating lunch at one table, but like two people, Like

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>there was just like little shady bits. So imagine, imagine

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.559
<v Speaker 1>like that. That blows my mind. Anyways, I think it

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>would have been so fun. After we did the dance

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Lom's reunion, we actually kind of got to have another

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>reunion about a couple weeks later, we all went to

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl together and that I was like, this

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>is what the reunion should have been, like this vibe.

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 1>The reunion was so fun at the super Bowl because

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 1>now we all were homies, Like now we all were

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>friendly and Mabeling actually is the brand that took us

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 1>all and they were smart. A lot of brands take influencers,

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>but they take a random mix. Mabeling got all of

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the Dance Mom's cast. I was like, that is com brilliant.

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 1>They took us all to a show, they gave us

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>all outfits, they had us sitting at the super Bowl

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>at the forty yard line, like they were brilliant with

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>their marketing, and we all had so much fun. At

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>this point, now we were all homies and so it

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, actually fun, whereas I feel like the reunion

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>was a little like timid. Everyone was on angels because

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>no one really knew each other. It was an odd

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>mix of people, right. But then I feel like when

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 1>we all got to go to the super Bowl together,

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>we got to see Oh, which was also incredible. Was

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>not the Michael Jackson one or the Loved one, but

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>it was it was incredible. And then also my pro

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>from Dancing with the Stars, Jenna also joined on that

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 1>group trip, which was so much fun. But yeah, that

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>that to me, I was like, that's what the reunion

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>needed to be, Like that type of fun vibe. And

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>now I do think there's an angle to still do that.

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we need a fight on the internet

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to get a network to pick that up of like

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>here is where the dance BOMs girls are now. Because

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>as fun as it was for us to just like

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>react to the show and talk about it like kindle

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>in college on dance Team, Chloe owns a dance competition.

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Now me and all my shit that I'm doing, I

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if I'm coming or going. Colonney, Oh

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>my god. Klannie is the most open book in the world.

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>This girl is all over the place teaching dance. Were

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>just so freaking beautiful the way she's giving back to

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the dance world. But then also she's like open about

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 1>like I'm getting a breast reduction this week, Like that

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>is imagine if I went to her breast reduction with her,

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 1>like I I wish it was filmed. The day that

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I was having a mental breakdown, I was really sobbing.

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I was really solving my heart out, and Colanie called

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>me and she was like, WHOA what am I calling

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of And I was like, honestly, like

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>it's fine, just distract mammalkay And she was like, well,

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm calling to show you my tits. You want to

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>see him and I was like, oh my god, yes,

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>let's see him. But she had just gotten her reduction

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and she was so open about her journey online, which

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 1>was so fun, Like that is the TV show and

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>so I I've made my pitch a lot, but I

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 1>need I need the world to fight with me for

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>this TV show. Anyways, the last little thing that I'll

0:15:54.480 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 1>say about the reunion was having everyone be so open

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 1>about their trauma was so interesting. I didn't really know

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot that these girls went through, and that Kilaney,

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean especially went through, and especially as her being

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>one of my best friends. Kelly Page and Brooke had

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>an incredible moment on the show where it was a

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>true heart to heart where there was apologies and there

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>was tears. Oh my god, there was such a funny

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 1>moment and it was like the Kelly came into like

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>comfort Brick and Page and like having one with them,

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and then Jill came in to do the same with

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Kendall and then they were like, all right, Jojo and Colonney,

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna go get your guys as moms. And we're like,

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>our moms aren't gonna coddle us, Like absolutely not. What

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 1>do you know our moms never came in. I was like, yeah,

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>that they would never. My mom literally would never. Mom's like, nah, dog,

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm literally here because I have to be here. I'd

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 1>say with Kira that cool. Kia does not give it,

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>she does not at all, but she's she's great. Honestly,

0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Kira is like a second mom to me.

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 1>We actually we now have a dance moms group chat.

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>We're all gearing up to go do press right now

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>for the reunion, and we're all talking about They're all

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>talking about I am not a girly girl, and so

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 1>they're all like, would we get aware? What's everybody gonna weare?

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Are we gonna change? We do our makeup together, and

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I won't see y'all in the lobby and

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:28.160
<v Speaker 1>my pants and I won't be there. But yeah, we

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 1>definitely all have a group chat. It doesn't have a name.

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I need to name us. I should

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:34.679
<v Speaker 1>name our group chat. Let me know if anybody has

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:36.600
<v Speaker 1>any good ideas. But yeah, we're all gonna go to

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>New York together. I'm sure we're gonna go to dinner,

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 1>go to a show. Maybe it's gonna be a lot

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of fun. I keep in touch. I'm very close with Colonnie.

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Me and Colonia are very tight, but everybody else, honestly,

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like a sister bond. You don't need

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 1>to talk all the time, but the second that we

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>see each other, it's like we saw each other yesterday

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and the day before that and the day before that.

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.160
<v Speaker 1>They truly all have such special place in my heart.

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Everybody that was on the show, did the reunion, didn't

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 1>do the reunion. I know from the show, I don't

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 1>know from the show. Everybody that was a part of

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Dance Moms has a very special place in my heart,

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.919
<v Speaker 1>and I I'm grateful for because the show would not

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.440
<v Speaker 1>be what it was without every single person that contributed,

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 1>from anyone who was ever on the candy apples to

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.919
<v Speaker 1>the guy holding the microphone, like, every single person contributed

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>to that show. And it changed the world. It changed

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>my world for sure, It changed the dance world for sure,

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.880
<v Speaker 1>and it changed the reality TV world. And it's freaking phenomenon.

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>And to say that I'm a part of it blows

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 1>my mind literally every day, you know, to put it

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 1>all in a nutshell, the Dance Ones reunion, I think

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>there is room for a part two, part three, part four,

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.359
<v Speaker 1>maybe even a whole lest other season, maybe a movie.

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there is so much more that we

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>could do with this, but I'm excited that it started here,

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and I am excited that now everyone gets to watch

0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 1>it and stream it. Make sure you do and if

0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:02.840
