Somebody's got to do it exactly. 70 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Love to Absolutely, that's a good spot to hold. 71 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: I'll take it. 72 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to come out the gate swinging a little 73 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: bit with my first question because I need your opinion 74 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: on one of the hot button issues from this season, 75 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: and that seems to be favoritism. Okay, As a pro 76 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: who has had some tough breaks, whether it's Genie's injury 77 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: or Lauren's shocking elimination or some controversial weeks with Chandler, 78 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: what's your take on the debate that's been happening over 79 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: the past few weeks regarding favoritism. 80 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: What a big one. 81 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: I know, Sorry, I. 82 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 2: Really I appreciate the question, and I think you're going 83 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: to be able to share some insight with this as 84 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: well as someone who's on the show. Now you've seen 85 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: it from the inside and from the outside, you know. Yeah. 86 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: I think the first thing that I would say is 87 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: do I think that there is favoritism? Sure, Maybe favoritism 88 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: in the sense that there's pros that people like more, 89 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: that the fans relate to more, or celebrities that people 90 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: relate to more. Do I also think that there's pros 91 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: that are really good at what they do. Yes, So 92 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: do you get what I'm trying to say? Sometimes it's like, 93 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 2: does Lebron have favoritism in the NBA? Well, yeah, he's 94 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: Lebron James. Do you understand what I'm saying it totally? 95 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: Is it favoritism or is he creating an opportunity for himself? 96 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: I think that there's that's a big conversation that I mean, 97 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: we could spend a lot of time talking about. I 98 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: think that at the end of the day, you could 99 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: consider the show a game That's what it is. It's 100 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: a game show, a reality strategy. It's a strategy. I 101 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: think there's pros that are better at that strategy than others. Yeah, 102 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: and so I don't know if I would call it 103 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: favoritism or what I call it a pro taking advantage 104 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: of the opportunity that they're given. 105 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, And when you know better, you do better. 106 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: So when you've been on the show for a certain 107 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: length of time and you've seen it and you've strategized, 108 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: and you've been on multiple sides, and you can see 109 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: it come and go, Yeah, you want to win, and 110 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: so you do what you have to do. The other 111 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: thing I think, I'll say, coming from the side of 112 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: being on the show this season and from the celeb side, 113 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: right from the beginning in the conversations about doing the show, 114 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: when it comes to music selection, when it comes to 115 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: dance styles, when it comes to name any part of 116 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: the show. Over the course of the whole season, you 117 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: will sometimes get exactly Glee what you wanted, and other 118 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: weeks you will not. And you got to make it work, 119 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: and you have to make it work. But the idea 120 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: behind it is kind of it all evens out in 121 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: the wash. 122 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: Now. 123 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: If you don't make it very far into the season, 124 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 1: you could maybe not ever have gotten what you wanted, 125 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: or have ever gotten your big your your break, or 126 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: and then maybe it does seem like, well you really 127 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: got handed a. 128 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: Correct I agree, but I think no, but I agree 129 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: with you, and I also think, look, the pros are 130 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: doing their best job to highlight a celebrity that has 131 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: no dance experience, honestly has no clue what they're talking about. 132 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: When it comes to any of this. You may you 133 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: may come in and say I love the song Bojangle 134 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: by shmo jangle, I did right, yes, And we're like 135 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 2: and I think it'd be a great tango and I'm like, congratulations, 136 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: it's nowhere near a tango song. 137 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: And we will not be doing that. 138 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 2: I mean, well, or you will because the show's like, look, 139 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 2: she really loves it.

It's It is such an intricate game 174 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: every week, from the costumes to the creative to the song, 175 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: to things that have to fit the theme and the 176 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: packages and the it's no, and you can't possibly know 177 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: what it's like. 178 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 2: No, I gotta comment. I love all you first of 179 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: all on social media. I'm newly to the social media game, 180 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 2: so I love you. I'm on my way. I love y'all. 181 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: I got a comment, Brandon, your first two dances were 182 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: the same. She was like, inframed the whole time. Well, sweetheart, 183 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: I had a tango and a box drop. So maybe 184 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: before you hit me up on that, look at it, 185 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 2: because by definition, you've done a lot of inframe. 186 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: Now, yeah, you're in frame. 187 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: That's the point. And then if you don't do it, 188 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: then I'm the one that has to stand in front 189 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 2: of the judges and they get to say, hey, Brandon, 190 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: if we didn't love your content here, she wasn't in 191 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: frame enough. Oh I'm sorry. Susan in Connecticut told me, 192 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: I gotta be out a frame more like, what do 193 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: you want us to do? You're putting us between that is. 194 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: That's a good point too, because we also got the 195 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: similar comment from Carrie and that our dances look the 196 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: same with the jive and our quick step. 197 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: How are you feeling about that too, I'm very curious 198 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: to know from your side of the table. 199 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: I the second she said it, totally understood what she 200 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: meant and appreciated it. And here's what I'll Here's what 201 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: I'll say. The only dance we had, so we had 202 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: a foxtrot we had and it was TikTok week So 203 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: I foxtrot was Sabrina Carpenter man Child and then quickstep 204 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: and jive similar. So those two dances themselves are kind 205 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: of similar. Yes, But what's for sure been similar is 206 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: this face has been cheesen since Week one when I 207 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: had a tango that maybe would have been a little 208 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: bit more serious. But my first Week one, I was 209 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: on cloud nine, America was being introduced to me on 210 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: this show. My anthem song was about having overcome breast 211 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: cancer the year before. I was not Week one going 212 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: to come out and be stone face chiller. In my tango, 213 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: I danced a tango that was authentic to me and 214 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: my story, which was important to me for people to see. 215 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: Thousand percent? 216 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: So is she right that for in four weeks she 217 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: has not seen me do stare down the barrel, She 218 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: hasn't seen me take a smile off my face. Absolutely, 219 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: And I can see from a viewer or a judge perspective, 220 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: for four weeks I'm not sure I felt a different 221 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: side of you yet, so I totally understood you. 222 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: Can I ask you this, I guess sometimes to me, 223 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: it's like for the people at home. I think the 224 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: people at home do reflect or start to mirror sometimes 225 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: what they hear from the judges desk. I don't know 226 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: if you've hear risked this a little bit, and so 227 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 2: I do think that it's important that the celebrity or 228 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: maybe the pro has an opportunity to maybe clarify some 229 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: things like that, because sometimes I just know from from experience, yep, 230 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: that sometimes you know, let's say, let's say a judge says, 231 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: you know what, I really liked it, But I feel 232 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: I got this lot with Chandler. 233 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, we. 234 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: Love you too. You guys are obviously a great dancer. 235 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 2: She's a great dancer. She's doing blahlah blah blah. I 236 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: feel like we're missing something. Okay, So then I feel 237 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: like I'm missing something. You're like, Okay, what I'm missing 238 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: is what that means? 239 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: Right? 240 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: What? What what does that mean? Then we go home 241 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 2: and then you read all these comments of people that 242 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: really have no reason not to like Chandler, but now 243 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: they have one reason, which is they're missing something. 244 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: That's just something? 245 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: What does that mean? You tell me what that means? 246 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 4: Now? 247 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: Can she tell me what? So now nobody knows what 248 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: this means. And then all season this poor girl Chandler 249 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 2: is and you know how hard working like a dog. 250 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: I cannot even tell like a dog. 251 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: To chase this thing? That is? 252 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: What? What? 253 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: What do we write? And it's just out here and 254 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 2: it just exists, and. 255 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: There are so many things it could be. Is it passion? 256 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it connection? Is it animation? What if 257 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: even just one little clarifying thing could help you? Then go? 258 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: Now I have a focus. Now we have something to 259 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: legitimately work on. I know, and I did. I was 260 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: really happy then that night that Pasha, because Pasha was 261 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: very upset, of course, and he should be, rightfully. So 262 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: it's his choreography and he it's his profession and he's 263 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: incredible at it, and so I was very happy then that. 264 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: Immediately we were the first press out the first press 265 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: outlet we did, got to ask him directly, how did 266 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: you feel about that? And he answered very honestly, and 267 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: I loved it? And I loved it too. I loved 268 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: it for him I loved that he got to say 269 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: his piece, because that's the other side of it, is 270 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: that they we get talked to and there really isn't 271 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: the opportunity for us to say a response. It's like 272 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: if someone if you you know, someone wrote something and 273 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: a script and then you you put it out there 274 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: and you got to note it and judge it. But 275 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: they don't ever get to defend their right hand. 276 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: They don't ever offend yourself. 277 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: You can't ever. 278 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: Another thing that happened last season not to be harpened 279 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 2: on this last season. One of the judges I got 280 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: in trouble for doing a lyft. I don't know if 281 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: you've seen. 282 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 4: This whole I have, and there what was it like? 283 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 4: This this much far? First of all, I lifted her 284 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 4: off the ground. Okay a thousand percent. I lifted her 285 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 4: off the ground. I have no beef with that. Okay 286 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 4: the point, no issue with that, right. My issue was 287 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 4: when she was like, oh, I warned you about this 288 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 4: last week. I warned you about this last week. Okay, 289 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 4: that hadn't happened. She had warned another individual another couple 290 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 4: about it. 291 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 2: So I all I said was me because because I 292 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: knew it wasn't you. I hadn't been warned about that. 293 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: I got slaughtered online for being cocky, or Brandon's too cocky, 294 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: or he's too confident with Chandler he can't take criticism, 295 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: or this what I'm like, y'all. First of all, I 296 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: I mean, you've known me long. I'm like the least 297 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: like like, I'm just here for the good time, trying 298 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 2: to talk a little crap, enjoyed the show whatever. Yeah, 299 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: all I was saying was I was not the one 300 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: that had been warned about this. I'm also not saying 301 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: that I didn't lift I lifted her off the floor. 302 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: I don't even care about the point whatever. Right for me, 303 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: it's the principle. 304 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: I just don't do you. 305 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: Get what I'm trying to say, But I can't respond. 306 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: If we respond in any type of way, posh or whatever, 307 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: then it turns into this thing. I'm like, Guys, your. 308 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Response of me also probably wasn't premeditated, like I'm now, no, 309 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: you didn't go like I'm going to respond to point 310 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: out to her that that's wrong. It's like a wait 311 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: did you? You also were like wait. 312 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: When I don't remember that? And if I missed it, sorry, 313 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: I didn't miss. 314 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: It, right, you were right, it wasn't you. But that 315 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: was so that even from that standpoint, it's like we're 316 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: also stifling some of the natural reaction to things. 317 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough, tricky situation. 318 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: The tricky situation after the dance to. 319 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: Like that, that whole time of space is a weird. 320 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: You're thirsty, you can bare we breathe. 321 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: You're either ecstatic or you just. 322 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: You just want to all. Oh my gosh, Yes, I know. 323 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: This. 324 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: There's way more fans now than it feels like ever before. 325 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: New fans, young fans, passionate fans, passion dedicated fans. Sometimes 326 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: people could say a bit of toxicity. Do you think 327 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: overall this is not toxicity is a good thing, but 328 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: that overall the new fan base, that in general, the 329 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: swarm of people that have come to it is overall 330 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: a good thing, and that that ends justify the means. 331 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: A thousand percent. What's the saying, you can't don't cry 332 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: when it floods when you prayed for rain? 333 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: Wow, beautiful. 334 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a huge component.

When I prayed for it 352 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: and I prayed for an opportunity like. 353 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: This, it's such a such a great attitude. 354 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: I mean I prayed for I remember this. I remember 355 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 2: I was twenty probably two, I had sixty six dollars 356 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: to my name, was sleeping on a mattress on the 357 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: floor in Las Vegas, dancing on the strip, dancing for 358 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: not on the strip like a like, but like dancing 359 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: in a show on the side. That sounded. 360 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: Not a mattress in dancing on this. 361 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: That seems like it was going down a different route. 362 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: Thank you for clarifying very much. 363 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that in a show professional show, nothing showing nothing. 364 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: We just left Vegas out of this. We probably wouldn't 365 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: have had all these. 366 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: But also let the people think what they want to think. 367 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: Maybe I was shaking. 368 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: Somewhere, you know what I mean. 369 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 2: I will be shaking it to make it holler. They'll 370 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 2: play with me. So I was broke, figured it out, 371 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: you know, that's what the stars called me. I never 372 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 2: in a million years would have dreamed that. You'll fast 373 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: forward seven or eight seasons later whatever. Now I'm here 374 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 2: having this opportunity, sitting here doing this podcast. So I'm 375 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: not going to complain about that. Do I think that 376 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: there's some toxic nature that comes with it. Absolutely. I 377 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: feel like we live in a country where you're allowed 378 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 2: to have that opinion. Absolutely, so go ahead throw it 379 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 2: out there. I mean, I would try to ask at 380 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: least be some level of respect. Sometimes it's a little 381 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: crazy to me when people are that's like me calling 382 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: Einstein and being like, man, your math is wrong, Like 383 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: you know what I meant? Sometimes sometimes like what I see, 384 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: it's like, here's my opinion on these dances and based 385 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: off of my experience, and they're like I took dance 386 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: in third grade, right, Like sweetheart, that's like saying you 387 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like gess me going up to 388 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: Serena Williams and being like I played ping, Yeah, like 389 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: relax a little bit, but I mean, you can say 390 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 2: what you want. 391 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: To say what. 392 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 3: You want to say. 393 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: One of the show's very positive elements that has come 394 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: out this season especially is your online presence, specifically your tiktoks. 395 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: When you were learning under Shirley Ballast, she didn't have 396 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: any social media courses. So is this a new skill? 397 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: How are you learning this new skill set? And you 398 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: and why are you such a natural? 399 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: I'm telling you I'm still the horse and buggy compared 400 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 2: to the Ferrari of social media. Well, this is really 401 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: what happens. So we hired these young bucks, young pros, 402 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: the Ezra's, the Rileys. We got like these young people 403 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: in and they came in and you would have thought 404 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: like it was like we were learning how to make fire. 405 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: Like we're on tour. I sincerely like we're like watching 406 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 2: like you bang rock, like like this is the craziest thing. Yeah, 407 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 2: And they're posting every day. We're seeing all this success. 408 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 2: We're also seeing them being able to connect to an 409 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: audience in just a way different way than we were 410 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 2: able to. Like it used to be like you had 411 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: to create the most tech you dance blah blah blah 412 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 2: blah blah. Now it's like it's not that, it's not 413 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 2: all that, it's it's that and everything else. And so 414 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: for me, it's like lucky, I got married to a 415 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: unbelievable girl who's also very talented with that. Oh I 416 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: could talk about her for a millionaires, but she's so 417 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 2: good at it, and so that helped me a lot. 418 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 2: She also like gave me a little bit. We were 419 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 2: just talking about you before we started rolling. I get 420 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 2: nervous sometimes because I don't have the best filter, and 421 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: it's gotten me in trouble in the past because I 422 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 2: really genuinely am somebody who will just say what I think. 423 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: And I mean, if you have a problem with that, 424 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: we can discuss the problem. Like it's just it is 425 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: what it is. Now I realize it's probably not the 426 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: best way to go about life, and on social media 427 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: it's definitely, yeah, not the best way. So I'm learning. 428 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: But look, I like to talk a little crap, and 429 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 2: I like to be funny, and I like to just 430 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: say things how I like to say things. And I 431 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: think it's been lucky that it's gotten on social media 432 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 2: and people have enjoyed it. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, wait, 433 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: I'm still waiting for a tall crash down right now. 434 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: But your authenticity is what people are connecting with the 435 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: fact you are so authentic, there is you. The good 436 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: thing about not having a filter is that there's also 437 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: not a filter. It's just you are there. You are 438 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: who you are, warts and all. It is what it is, 439 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: and people love that. 440 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 2: I would hope. 441 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, people resonate. 442 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: So I would be really but heard. If they really 443 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: hated me, I'd be like, Wow, that means I'm actually 444 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: who I am and people actually hate me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 445 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: people don't like me. That would suck, you know, So 446 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: at least a few people can crack a few jokes 447 00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: and make a few laughs. 448 00:20:59,600 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 3: I don't know. 449 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: When you look at the roster of celebrities that you 450 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: have had over the past eight seasons. It's really musical 451 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: and you have partnered with a lot of contestants who 452 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: might even be called ringers, Tanase, Jordan Sparks, Lely Pond's, 453 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: Chandler Kenney, and Lauren Hereggi. But outside of Chandler, you 454 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: have eluded the finals. 455 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: I have. 456 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of prior dance experience debates also this season. 457 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: What is your take on the prior dance experience of 458 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: it all? And does musical experience translate to dancing as 459 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: much as people think it does? 460 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: No, so that I can answer as why on Rice, No, 461 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 2: you could be the greatest singer songwriter the world has 462 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: ever seen and not be able to dance a lick. 463 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: Okay, right, that's my opinion. Yeah, people just think music, oh, musicality, 464 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: You're going to be great at that. 465 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 2: So Adele is a professional dancer, right like you know 466 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: what I'm saying that she can park and bark with 467 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: the best of them all time. I don't know if 468 00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: she's going to come out here and hit a slick 469 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 2: little chit and if she is tiger in it sweetheart 470 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 2: come to Dance with the Stars. I need another one 471 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 2: may take a dell for me to win the dang show, 472 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 2: So come on through, you know, so that answer for me, 473 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: No way. I don't think that that translates as far 474 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: as past dance experience. This one's so tricky for me 475 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: because I've had a few partners that I've had it. 476 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: I think nowa day and age, I think it matters 477 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: less than people would hope. I almost think it hurts 478 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 2: you more. Case in point Alan and Alona Chandler and 479 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 2: Brandon last year, right, I mean to me, that's case 480 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 2: and point. Alona one of my favorite humans on the planet. 481 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: I like everything that she stands for. I think she 482 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 2: you want to talk about somebody who's authentic, talented, zero 483 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: dance experience, not as good of a dancer as Chandler, 484 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: of course, I mean, of course, that's like saying Chandler's 485 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: as good of a rugby player as she is. That's 486 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, that's just call us bade is 487 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 2: made here, right, they beat us. Alan and Elona beat 488 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: Chandler and I So obviously, I think that's a case 489 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: of point where it doesn't really matter as much as 490 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 2: people want or want to think it does. I think 491 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: it helps me. I think I'm able to create a 492 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 2: lot of cool things totally. But I think if people 493 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: don't relate to it, they don't relate to it. So 494 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I think this season, this season, 495 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: we have competitors that have a lot of dance experience. 496 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: We have one that just went home that had an 497 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 2: extensive dance background. Huh she went home week three home 498 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: four four four. Yeah, you're here. You don't have any No, So, 499 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: who cares? Right? That's kind of my thing. 500 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: Is I just exactly whether or not it makes you 501 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: a better dancer cannot be argued. Of course, dance experience 502 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: makes you a better dancer. Does it help you win 503 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: the show? 504 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: No? So, And that's genuinely in my opinion. No, I 505 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: think you could look through all this past. You could 506 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 2: look through since I've been on the show, how many 507 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: of the best dancers have won the show? Very few times? 508 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: Maybe I'll make the argument that Charlie Dmilion did. Yeah, okay, 509 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 2: but hold on, she also has two hundred million followers 510 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 2: on these platforms. She's also a sweetheart, also relatable. 511 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: All those kind of the whole package. 512 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm like, hold on, and I don't think 513 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 2: they were winning it from day one. I think Mark 514 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 2: worked really hard to develop something that was really good. 515 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, that's my opinion. I think that there's 516 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: a lot of other things. I think this area is 517 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 2: probably where I could have done better. Like if you 518 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 2: gave me somebody like Tanashe now, I would do way 519 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: better with her now than I did then, being completely 520 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: authentic and just transparent. I didn't know how to play 521 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: the game as well as I probably should have. Yeah, 522 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: but that being said, I hate the game because why 523 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: can't a girl be young, confident, beautiful, a good dancer 524 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: and go on Dancing with the Stars and show herself 525 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: off and do well. Yeah, you know, Like I don't know. 526 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: I think the show would be really boring if you 527 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 2: had a bunch of people that sucked. Not fair to say, 528 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 2: but I see that a lot online. Like it's like, well, 529 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 2: the point of the show is for people to develop 530 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: and not to have any dance. 531 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: Experience, is it? It is that if you. 532 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 2: Just got on and saw people that sucked, Yep, would 533 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: you like to watch that? 534 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: Absolutely not? No, I would not have watched. 535 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: You have to have a mixture. 536 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: Totally my opinion, totally and like you said, it is 537 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: a competition, Well you didn't say this part it's a 538 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: competition show it is. You can bring all kinds of 539 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: things to a competition. Great personality, large fan base, incredible dancing, authenticity, 540 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: good connection. We're all bringing underdog story the exactly you come. 541 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: Every person is coming with their own suitcase of weapons 542 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: to use in the competition, and not all the weapons 543 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: are going to be the same, and that doesn't mean 544 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: you have a better or worse chance, just depend on 545 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: how you use it. 546 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 2: I think that's where my favoritism conversation comes back to, 547 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: is just because one pro is better at utilizing those 548 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 2: weapons doesn't necessarily do you understand what I'm trying to say, Like, 549 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: just because he's able to unpack the suitcase, he or 550 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 2: she is able to unpack the suitcase a little bit 551 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 2: faster than maybe some of these other pros, and maybe 552 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: that's a skill thing. Yeah. 553 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: Also looking at something that doesn't seem like the greatest weapon, 554 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: but you know it is after having tons of and 555 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: being like, yeah, I'll take the nail file and everyone's 556 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: like I don't want the nail file, but you know 557 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: how great the nail file comes in handy by week 558 00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: seven and then you. 559 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 2: Get beat by and people are like, oh. 560 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: Oh that, but he knew the nail file. 561 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes he did, Yes he did. And that's 562 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: the point of him. Wouldn't try to be what's a 563 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 2: pearl that knows that? Of course? 564 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. As someone who has had a lot of 565 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: incredible partners, I am going to be very sad thinking 566 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: again or talking about the fact that we were robbed 567 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: of of you and Lauren.
