WEBVTT - Danielle with…Brandon Armstrong

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Hello. I'm Danielle Fischl, a TV director, a podcaster, a

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>mom of two, and yet in my obituary it will

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>start with the sentence better known as Topanga from the

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>nineties sitcom Boy Meets World, and I am totally fine

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>with that. That actually sounds nice. But maybe, just maybe,

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>it will also include the title professional ballroom dancer, because

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>right now I am part of season thirty four of

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Dancing with the Stars, giving it my all, pushing through

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the soreness, constantly learning and finding time to record this

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>year show keeping you all abreast on my progress and

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>emotions while I try to do the unthinkable and win

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy without any prior dance experience.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And one of the goals of this podcast is to

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>learn more by talking to pros, former contestants, and even

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>some of my competition. Because I'm not satisfied with just

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>dedicating twenty three hours of my data dancing, I need

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to make it twenty four. And now, thanks to the podcast,

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I have the honor of sitting down with a fan favorite,

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>and by fan, I mean my husband Boy. He loves

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>him some Brandon and coincidentally, so do I. He joined

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the show as a member of the troop back in

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>season twenty four, and was promoted to pro in season

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven, and ever since he has been handed what

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>many in the dance industry professionally call luck, constant perfect

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>scores but doesn't win at all. Check inflammation of the

0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>epiglottis check a shock elimination on that and the same night,

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>your partner is lowered in a construction vehicle in front

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of pyrotechnics while dancing to their own multi platinum forever

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>viral song.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Check.

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he has seen it all, but it would be

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>difficult to find a member of the Dancing with the

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Stars universe that fans so collectively rally behind. And that's

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>not just because of his elite talent in the ballroom.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>It is also because of his new social media presence,

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>especially on TikTok, where he has showcased one of the

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>show's most reliable senses of humor over the past few months.

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So today on Danielle with the Stars, I am thrilled

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to welcome a man who helped put the word pissed

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>back in the collective pop culture universe and has wowed

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>viewers year after year. It's my husband's favorite dancer not

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>named Pasha. It's Brandon Armstrong.

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 2>What an intro?

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>What a welcome.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, being your husband's favorite is more important to me

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>than winning the Maryor I'm.

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be honest, Mike, I will never forget what. First

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>of all, you're the first couple of weeks you and

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Lauren had. All my husband could talk about was how

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>amazing Lauren was.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's good. There's three short weeks, so I'm

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 2>glad that your husband don't have to talk about it

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 2>for long.

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.119
<v Speaker 1>I was just like he was like wow, Lauren and Brandon,

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>but just like wow, Lauren and Brandon. Just the moment,

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, did you see what happen? Did

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you did you see my dance? Did you see?

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>He is just your biggest fan. He thinks you. I

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>mean you are, You're spectacular.

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you, thank you. For some reason, I feel

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>like I am like the king of the husbands of

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the girls that watch Dancing with the Stars. Do you

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>get what I'm saying? The boyfriends and like when we're

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>on tour, it's always the dudes that come out with

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>like the cowboy gear on that night, but they're like, oh,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 2>be good. To see you. I'm like, hey, you know what, brother, see.

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Seems a good place to be.

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll take it. Somebody's got to do it exactly.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Love to Absolutely, that's a good spot to hold.

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll take it.

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to come out the gate swinging a little

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>bit with my first question because I need your opinion

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>on one of the hot button issues from this season,

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and that seems to be favoritism. Okay, As a pro

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>who has had some tough breaks, whether it's Genie's injury

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>or Lauren's shocking elimination or some controversial weeks with Chandler,

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>what's your take on the debate that's been happening over

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the past few weeks regarding favoritism.

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>What a big one.

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, Sorry, I.

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 2>Really I appreciate the question, and I think you're going

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 2>to be able to share some insight with this as

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>well as someone who's on the show. Now you've seen

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>it from the inside and from the outside, you know. Yeah.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I think the first thing that I would say is

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 2>do I think that there is favoritism? Sure, Maybe favoritism

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 2>in the sense that there's pros that people like more,

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>that the fans relate to more, or celebrities that people

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 2>relate to more. Do I also think that there's pros

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>that are really good at what they do. Yes, So

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 2>do you get what I'm trying to say? Sometimes it's like,

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 2>does Lebron have favoritism in the NBA? Well, yeah, he's

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James. Do you understand what I'm saying it totally?

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Is it favoritism or is he creating an opportunity for himself?

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I think that there's that's a big conversation that I mean,

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 2>we could spend a lot of time talking about. I

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>think that at the end of the day, you could

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>consider the show a game That's what it is. It's

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 2>a game show, a reality strategy. It's a strategy. I

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 2>think there's pros that are better at that strategy than others. Yeah,

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and so I don't know if I would call it

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>favoritism or what I call it a pro taking advantage

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>of the opportunity that they're given.

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Yeah, And when you know better, you do better.

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>So when you've been on the show for a certain

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>length of time and you've seen it and you've strategized,

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and you've been on multiple sides, and you can see

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>it come and go, Yeah, you want to win, and

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>so you do what you have to do. The other

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>thing I think, I'll say, coming from the side of

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>being on the show this season and from the celeb side,

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>right from the beginning in the conversations about doing the show,

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to music selection, when it comes to

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>dance styles, when it comes to name any part of

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the show. Over the course of the whole season, you

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>will sometimes get exactly Glee what you wanted, and other

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>weeks you will not. And you got to make it work,

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and you have to make it work. But the idea

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>behind it is kind of it all evens out in

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the wash.

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>If you don't make it very far into the season,

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.679
<v Speaker 1>you could maybe not ever have gotten what you wanted,

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>or have ever gotten your big your your break, or

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and then maybe it does seem like, well you really

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>got handed a.

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Correct I agree, but I think no, but I agree

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>with you, and I also think, look, the pros are

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>doing their best job to highlight a celebrity that has

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>no dance experience, honestly has no clue what they're talking about.

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to any of this. You may you

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>may come in and say I love the song Bojangle

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>by shmo jangle, I did right, yes, And we're like

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 2>and I think it'd be a great tango and I'm like, congratulations,

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it's nowhere near a tango song.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 1>And we will not be doing that.

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, or you will because the show's like, look,

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 2>she really loves it. They're really passionate about it. Can

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>you make it fit? And then it's our responsibility. We're

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 2>in the we're trying to change the b PM and

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to figure this out, trying fiel blah blah

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>blah blah. I just think that people, I think online

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 2>they love this conversation of like, yeah, you know, I

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>saw this performance. It didn't do anything for me. Maybe

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>it was the song. I'm sorry, I'm not the one

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>sitting here bringing you this song, this tango song done

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 2>to the pop song. My partner loved it. It was

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 2>a mom and come on, you know, like obviously if

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 2>it was up to us, you would see I would

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of decisions being made differently in some

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>of that aspect, because but that's not the point. It's

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 2>not Brandon with the Stars, you know what I mean.

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Or it's not it's not celebrity dancing with Brandon I

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 2>wish some network picked that show up. They would be fantastic.

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll get behind you.

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to make you the richest woman on the world.

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. Because if it's if it's

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:51.679
<v Speaker 2>celebrity Dancing with Brandon, unbelievable, and that's a different one

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>all twelve and you'll see me in different You know,

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 2>that's not the point of the show. The point of

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the show is for you to come on express yourself.

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I dance, learn how to dance, develop how to dance. Yeah,

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not responsible for all that, so I think little

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 2>grace there.

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes. Also, the country is very vast and diverse. We

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>all have lots of different opinions. And sometimes I'll see

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>people online being like, I think they should have done

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>this song, and I'll think, Okay, there would probably be

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a handful of people who would.

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Have also loved that handful of people are on the show.

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll do that song. We'll do that song for you.

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is. It's It is such an intricate game

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>every week, from the costumes to the creative to the song,

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to things that have to fit the theme and the

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>packages and the it's no, and you can't possibly know

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 1>what it's like.

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 2>No, I gotta comment. I love all you first of

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 2>all on social media. I'm newly to the social media game,

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 2>so I love you. I'm on my way. I love y'all.

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I got a comment, Brandon, your first two dances were

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>the same. She was like, inframed the whole time. Well, sweetheart,

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I had a tango and a box drop. So maybe

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 2>before you hit me up on that, look at it,

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>because by definition, you've done a lot of inframe.

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, yeah, you're in frame.

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the point. And then if you don't do it,

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>then I'm the one that has to stand in front

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.079
<v Speaker 2>of the judges and they get to say, hey, Brandon,

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 2>if we didn't love your content here, she wasn't in

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 2>frame enough. Oh I'm sorry. Susan in Connecticut told me,

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I gotta be out a frame more like, what do

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 2>you want us to do? You're putting us between that is.

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point too, because we also got the

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>similar comment from Carrie and that our dances look the

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>same with the jive and our quick step.

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>How are you feeling about that too, I'm very curious

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 2>to know from your side of the table.

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I the second she said it, totally understood what she

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>meant and appreciated it. And here's what I'll Here's what

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll say. The only dance we had, so we had

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a foxtrot we had and it was TikTok week So

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.959
<v Speaker 1>I foxtrot was Sabrina Carpenter man Child and then quickstep

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and jive similar. So those two dances themselves are kind

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>of similar. Yes, But what's for sure been similar is

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>this face has been cheesen since Week one when I

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>had a tango that maybe would have been a little

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>bit more serious. But my first Week one, I was

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>on cloud nine, America was being introduced to me on

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>this show. My anthem song was about having overcome breast

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>cancer the year before. I was not Week one going

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to come out and be stone face chiller. In my tango,

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I danced a tango that was authentic to me and

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>my story, which was important to me for people to see.

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Thousand percent?

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>So is she right that for in four weeks she

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 1>has not seen me do stare down the barrel, She

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>hasn't seen me take a smile off my face. Absolutely,

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>And I can see from a viewer or a judge perspective,

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>for four weeks I'm not sure I felt a different

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>side of you yet, so I totally understood you.

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Can I ask you this, I guess sometimes to me,

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 2>it's like for the people at home. I think the

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 2>people at home do reflect or start to mirror sometimes

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 2>what they hear from the judges desk. I don't know

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 2>if you've hear risked this a little bit, and so

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:02.319
<v Speaker 2>I do think that it's important that the celebrity or

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe the pro has an opportunity to maybe clarify some

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>things like that, because sometimes I just know from from experience, yep,

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 2>that sometimes you know, let's say, let's say a judge says,

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I really liked it, But I feel

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I got this lot with Chandler.

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, we.

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Love you too. You guys are obviously a great dancer.

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 2>She's a great dancer. She's doing blahlah blah blah. I

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 2>feel like we're missing something. Okay, So then I feel

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 2>like I'm missing something. You're like, Okay, what I'm missing

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>is what that means?

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>What? What what does that mean? Then we go home

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.959
<v Speaker 2>and then you read all these comments of people that

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 2>really have no reason not to like Chandler, but now

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 2>they have one reason, which is they're missing something.

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>That's just something?

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean? You tell me what that means?

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Now?

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Can she tell me what? So now nobody knows what

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 2>this means. And then all season this poor girl Chandler

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 2>is and you know how hard working like a dog.

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 1>I cannot even tell like a dog.

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 2>To chase this thing? That is?

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 3>What? What?

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>What do we write? And it's just out here and

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:02.079
<v Speaker 2>it just exists, and.

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 1>There are so many things it could be. Is it passion?

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Is it? Is it connection? Is it animation? What if

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 1>even just one little clarifying thing could help you? Then go?

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Now I have a focus. Now we have something to

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>legitimately work on. I know, and I did. I was

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>really happy then that night that Pasha, because Pasha was

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>very upset, of course, and he should be, rightfully. So

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>it's his choreography and he it's his profession and he's

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 1>incredible at it, and so I was very happy then that.

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Immediately we were the first press out the first press

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>outlet we did, got to ask him directly, how did

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you feel about that? And he answered very honestly, and

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I loved it? And I loved it too. I loved

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 1>it for him I loved that he got to say

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>his piece, because that's the other side of it, is

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>that they we get talked to and there really isn't

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity for us to say a response. It's like

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>if someone if you you know, someone wrote something and

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a script and then you you put it out there

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>and you got to note it and judge it. But

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 1>they don't ever get to defend their right hand.

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 2>They don't ever offend yourself.

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>You can't ever.

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Another thing that happened last season not to be harpened

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.719
<v Speaker 2>on this last season. One of the judges I got

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 2>in trouble for doing a lyft. I don't know if

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 2>you've seen.

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 4>This whole I have, and there what was it like?

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 4>This this much far? First of all, I lifted her

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 4>off the ground. Okay a thousand percent. I lifted her

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 4>off the ground. I have no beef with that. Okay

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 4>the point, no issue with that, right. My issue was

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 4>when she was like, oh, I warned you about this

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 4>last week. I warned you about this last week. Okay,

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 4>that hadn't happened. She had warned another individual another couple

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 4>about it.

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 2>So I all I said was me because because I

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 2>knew it wasn't you. I hadn't been warned about that.

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I got slaughtered online for being cocky, or Brandon's too cocky,

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 2>or he's too confident with Chandler he can't take criticism,

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 2>or this what I'm like, y'all. First of all, I

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you've known me long. I'm like the least

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 2>like like, I'm just here for the good time, trying

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to talk a little crap, enjoyed the show whatever. Yeah,

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 2>all I was saying was I was not the one

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 2>that had been warned about this. I'm also not saying

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>that I didn't lift I lifted her off the floor.

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't even care about the point whatever. Right for me,

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>it's the principle.

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 3>I just don't do you.

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Get what I'm trying to say, But I can't respond.

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 2>If we respond in any type of way, posh or whatever,

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>then it turns into this thing. I'm like, Guys, your.

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Response of me also probably wasn't premeditated, like I'm now, no,

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you didn't go like I'm going to respond to point

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 1>out to her that that's wrong. It's like a wait

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 1>did you? You also were like wait.

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 2>When I don't remember that? And if I missed it, sorry,

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I didn't miss.

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>It, right, you were right, it wasn't you. But that

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>was so that even from that standpoint, it's like we're

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>also stifling some of the natural reaction to things.

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a tough, tricky situation.

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>The tricky situation after the dance to.

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Like that, that whole time of space is a weird.

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>You're thirsty, you can bare we breathe.

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 2>You're either ecstatic or you just.

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>You just want to all. Oh my gosh, Yes, I know.

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 2>This.

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>There's way more fans now than it feels like ever before.

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>New fans, young fans, passionate fans, passion dedicated fans. Sometimes

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>people could say a bit of toxicity. Do you think

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>overall this is not toxicity is a good thing, but

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that overall the new fan base, that in general, the

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>swarm of people that have come to it is overall

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a good thing, and that that ends justify the means.

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 2>A thousand percent. What's the saying, you can't don't cry

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 2>when it floods when you prayed for rain?

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow, beautiful.

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm a huge component. I'm a huge advocate of

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 2>somebody who I My livelihood is attached to the show.

0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 2>My lifestyle is attached to the show. My artistry is

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 2>attached to the show. I am a kid from middle

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>of nowhere, Utah, right middle of nowhere, Utah. And I'm

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>going to be a thousand percent transparent, not even somebody

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 2>who There's a million people who can dance like me.

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 2>There's a million people. Everybody can dance now, everybody's talented,

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 2>everybody's trained. There's a million dancers out there that would

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 2>love to be in this situation. For me to sit

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 2>here and be like, it's so toxic and they're killing right,

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 2>that is the most just disingenuous, Like it's just not me.

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I love the support. I love the opportunity to be

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 2>able to perform and dance and create in front of

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 2>all these people that get to watch it. Does that

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 2>then come with people who don't like it? Absolutely? I

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>can't cry for the flood. When I prayed for it

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and I prayed for an opportunity like.

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 1>This, it's such a such a great attitude.

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean I prayed for I remember this. I remember

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 2>I was twenty probably two, I had sixty six dollars

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 2>to my name, was sleeping on a mattress on the

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 2>floor in Las Vegas, dancing on the strip, dancing for

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 2>not on the strip like a like, but like dancing

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 2>in a show on the side. That sounded.

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Not a mattress in dancing on this.

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 2>That seems like it was going down a different route.

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for clarifying very much.

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that in a show professional show, nothing showing nothing.

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>We just left Vegas out of this. We probably wouldn't

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:15.159
<v Speaker 1>have had all these.

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 2>But also let the people think what they want to think.

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I was shaking.

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Somewhere, you know what I mean.

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I will be shaking it to make it holler. They'll

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.880
<v Speaker 2>play with me. So I was broke, figured it out,

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's what the stars called me. I never

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>in a million years would have dreamed that. You'll fast

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 2>forward seven or eight seasons later whatever. Now I'm here

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>having this opportunity, sitting here doing this podcast. So I'm

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 2>not going to complain about that. Do I think that

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 2>there's some toxic nature that comes with it. Absolutely. I

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 2>feel like we live in a country where you're allowed

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 2>to have that opinion. Absolutely, so go ahead throw it

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 2>out there. I mean, I would try to ask at

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>least be some level of respect. Sometimes it's a little

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.400
<v Speaker 2>crazy to me when people are that's like me calling

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Einstein and being like, man, your math is wrong, Like

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.920
<v Speaker 2>you know what I meant? Sometimes sometimes like what I see,

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:05.320
<v Speaker 2>it's like, here's my opinion on these dances and based

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 2>off of my experience, and they're like I took dance

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 2>in third grade, right, Like sweetheart, that's like saying you

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, Like gess me going up to

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Serena Williams and being like I played ping, Yeah, like

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 2>relax a little bit, but I mean, you can say

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 2>what you want.

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 1>To say what.

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 3>You want to say.

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>One of the show's very positive elements that has come

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:44.439
<v Speaker 1>out this season especially is your online presence, specifically your tiktoks.

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.679
<v Speaker 1>When you were learning under Shirley Ballast, she didn't have

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 1>any social media courses. So is this a new skill?

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>How are you learning this new skill set? And you

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:56.919
<v Speaker 1>and why are you such a natural?

0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you I'm still the horse and buggy compared

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.680
<v Speaker 2>to the Ferrari of social media. Well, this is really

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 2>what happens. So we hired these young bucks, young pros,

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the Ezra's, the Rileys. We got like these young people

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 2>in and they came in and you would have thought

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 2>like it was like we were learning how to make fire.

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.399
<v Speaker 2>Like we're on tour. I sincerely like we're like watching

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:23.120
<v Speaker 2>like you bang rock, like like this is the craziest thing. Yeah,

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.400
<v Speaker 2>And they're posting every day. We're seeing all this success.

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:27.479
<v Speaker 2>We're also seeing them being able to connect to an

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 2>audience in just a way different way than we were

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:30.719
<v Speaker 2>able to. Like it used to be like you had

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 2>to create the most tech you dance blah blah blah

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.959
<v Speaker 2>blah blah. Now it's like it's not that, it's not

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 2>all that, it's it's that and everything else. And so

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 2>for me, it's like lucky, I got married to a

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable girl who's also very talented with that. Oh I

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 2>could talk about her for a millionaires, but she's so

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:48.440
<v Speaker 2>good at it, and so that helped me a lot.

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 2>She also like gave me a little bit. We were

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.160
<v Speaker 2>just talking about you before we started rolling. I get

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 2>nervous sometimes because I don't have the best filter, and

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.600
<v Speaker 2>it's gotten me in trouble in the past because I

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.880
<v Speaker 2>really genuinely am somebody who will just say what I think.

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, if you have a problem with that,

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 2>we can discuss the problem. Like it's just it is

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 2>what it is. Now I realize it's probably not the

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 2>best way to go about life, and on social media

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely, yeah, not the best way. So I'm learning.

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.359
<v Speaker 2>But look, I like to talk a little crap, and

0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:14.919
<v Speaker 2>I like to be funny, and I like to just

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 2>say things how I like to say things. And I

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 2>think it's been lucky that it's gotten on social media

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and people have enjoyed it. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, wait,

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm still waiting for a tall crash down right now.

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>But your authenticity is what people are connecting with the

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 1>fact you are so authentic, there is you. The good

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.119
<v Speaker 1>thing about not having a filter is that there's also

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>not a filter. It's just you are there. You are

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 1>who you are, warts and all. It is what it is,

0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>and people love that.

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I would hope.

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, people resonate.

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 2>So I would be really but heard. If they really

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 2>hated me, I'd be like, Wow, that means I'm actually

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 2>who I am and people actually hate me. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 2>people don't like me. That would suck, you know, So

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 2>at least a few people can crack a few jokes

0:20:58.800 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 2>and make a few laughs.

0:20:59.600 --> 0:20:59.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 1>When you look at the roster of celebrities that you

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>have had over the past eight seasons. It's really musical

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and you have partnered with a lot of contestants who

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 1>might even be called ringers, Tanase, Jordan Sparks, Lely Pond's,

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Chandler Kenney, and Lauren Hereggi. But outside of Chandler, you

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 1>have eluded the finals.

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 3>I have.

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of prior dance experience debates also this season.

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>What is your take on the prior dance experience of

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it all? And does musical experience translate to dancing as

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:35.680
<v Speaker 1>much as people think it does?

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 2>No, so that I can answer as why on Rice, No,

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.880
<v Speaker 2>you could be the greatest singer songwriter the world has

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 2>ever seen and not be able to dance a lick.

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, right, that's my opinion. Yeah, people just think music, oh, musicality,

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>You're going to be great at that.

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 2>So Adele is a professional dancer, right like you know

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying that she can park and bark with

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 2>the best of them all time. I don't know if

0:21:58.400 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 2>she's going to come out here and hit a slick

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.200
<v Speaker 2>little chit and if she is tiger in it sweetheart

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.120
<v Speaker 2>come to Dance with the Stars. I need another one

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 2>may take a dell for me to win the dang show,

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 2>So come on through, you know, so that answer for me,

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 2>No way. I don't think that that translates as far

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 2>as past dance experience. This one's so tricky for me

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 2>because I've had a few partners that I've had it.

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I think nowa day and age, I think it matters

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 2>less than people would hope. I almost think it hurts

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:30.199
<v Speaker 2>you more. Case in point Alan and Alona Chandler and

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Brandon last year, right, I mean to me, that's case

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 2>and point. Alona one of my favorite humans on the planet.

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I like everything that she stands for. I think she

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 2>you want to talk about somebody who's authentic, talented, zero

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 2>dance experience, not as good of a dancer as Chandler,

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 2>of course, I mean, of course, that's like saying Chandler's

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 2>as good of a rugby player as she is. That's

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, come on, that's just call us bade is

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:53.640
<v Speaker 2>made here, right, they beat us. Alan and Elona beat

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Chandler and I So obviously, I think that's a case

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 2>of point where it doesn't really matter as much as

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 2>people want or want to think it does. I think

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 2>it helps me. I think I'm able to create a

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of cool things totally. But I think if people

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 2>don't relate to it, they don't relate to it. So

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, I think this season, this season,

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>we have competitors that have a lot of dance experience.

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 2>We have one that just went home that had an

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 2>extensive dance background. Huh she went home week three home

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 2>four four four. Yeah, you're here. You don't have any No, So,

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 2>who cares? Right? That's kind of my thing.

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Is I just exactly whether or not it makes you

0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a better dancer cannot be argued. Of course, dance experience

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:35.640
<v Speaker 1>makes you a better dancer. Does it help you win

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 1>the show?

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 2>No? So, And that's genuinely in my opinion. No, I

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 2>think you could look through all this past. You could

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:43.880
<v Speaker 2>look through since I've been on the show, how many

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 2>of the best dancers have won the show? Very few times?

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll make the argument that Charlie Dmilion did. Yeah, okay,

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.359
<v Speaker 2>but hold on, she also has two hundred million followers

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 2>on these platforms. She's also a sweetheart, also relatable.

0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>All those kind of the whole package.

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I'm like, hold on, and I don't think

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:02.640
<v Speaker 2>they were winning it from day one. I think Mark

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.160
<v Speaker 2>worked really hard to develop something that was really good.

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, that's my opinion. I think that there's

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of other things. I think this area is

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:11.480
<v Speaker 2>probably where I could have done better. Like if you

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:14.440
<v Speaker 2>gave me somebody like Tanashe now, I would do way

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 2>better with her now than I did then, being completely

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:20.320
<v Speaker 2>authentic and just transparent. I didn't know how to play

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.880
<v Speaker 2>the game as well as I probably should have. Yeah,

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.040
<v Speaker 2>but that being said, I hate the game because why

0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:29.359
<v Speaker 2>can't a girl be young, confident, beautiful, a good dancer

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and go on Dancing with the Stars and show herself

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>off and do well. Yeah, you know, Like I don't know.

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I think the show would be really boring if you

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.920
<v Speaker 2>had a bunch of people that sucked. Not fair to say,

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 2>but I see that a lot online. Like it's like, well,

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the point of the show is for people to develop

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and not to have any dance.

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Experience, is it? It is that if you.

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Just got on and saw people that sucked, Yep, would

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 2>you like to watch that?

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely not? No, I would not have watched.

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 2>You have to have a mixture.

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Totally my opinion, totally and like you said, it is

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:00.399
<v Speaker 1>a competition, Well you didn't say this part it's a

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 1>competition show it is. You can bring all kinds of

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 1>things to a competition. Great personality, large fan base, incredible dancing, authenticity,

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:16.080
<v Speaker 1>good connection. We're all bringing underdog story the exactly you come.

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Every person is coming with their own suitcase of weapons

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 1>to use in the competition, and not all the weapons

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 1>are going to be the same, and that doesn't mean

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you have a better or worse chance, just depend on

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 1>how you use it.

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:31.119
<v Speaker 2>I think that's where my favoritism conversation comes back to,

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 2>is just because one pro is better at utilizing those

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 2>weapons doesn't necessarily do you understand what I'm trying to say, Like,

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 2>just because he's able to unpack the suitcase, he or

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.159
<v Speaker 2>she is able to unpack the suitcase a little bit

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 2>faster than maybe some of these other pros, and maybe

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 2>that's a skill thing. Yeah.

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Also looking at something that doesn't seem like the greatest weapon,

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>but you know it is after having tons of and

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>being like, yeah, I'll take the nail file and everyone's

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 1>like I don't want the nail file, but you know

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>how great the nail file comes in handy by week

0:25:58.800 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 1>seven and then you.

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Get beat by and people are like, oh.

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh that, but he knew the nail file.

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, yes he did, Yes he did. And that's

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 2>the point of him. Wouldn't try to be what's a

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 2>pearl that knows that? Of course?

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely absolutely. As someone who has had a lot of

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.680
<v Speaker 1>incredible partners, I am going to be very sad thinking

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 1>again or talking about the fact that we were robbed

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 1>of of you and Lauren. I wanted to see that

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:26.400
<v Speaker 1>full journey so bad? What was your partnership with her?

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 5>Like?

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Because she is like, in my opinion, she is the

0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>epitome of like the one of the coolest people I've

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 1>ever met.

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you one thousand percent. I don't want

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 2>to get on my high horse here or whatever, but

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:43.399
<v Speaker 2>if we could be serious for two seconds, Yeah, I

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:45.480
<v Speaker 2>want to have a daughter someday, right, I want to

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 2>have a son. I want to have a daughter someday.

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:51.879
<v Speaker 2>I would want my daughter to be beautiful, talented, to

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 2>stand up for things that she thinks are right, to

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:57.400
<v Speaker 2>stand up for things that she thinks are wrong, yep, right,

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 2>be outspoken on it, educated, pretty all those things. It

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:05.399
<v Speaker 2>is crazy to me that Lauren does those things and

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>then gets dumped on by other women. That blows my mind, right,

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 2>it blows my mind. What happened to this whole feminist

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five? Women don't have to they're not second class.

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blahlah. All that sounds so good out of

0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 2>your mouth until it comes time to support a woman. Yeah,

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.640
<v Speaker 2>actually is that? Yeah, So that's on my little high

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.439
<v Speaker 2>horse defending Lauren. That's my little high horse of that.

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I think she is unbelievably talented, beautiful, stands up for

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 2>the right things. Yeah, cools crap and unbelievable. Yep. So

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:37.360
<v Speaker 2>this whole like mean girl or doesn't want to be there,

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>not everybody has to come out there and turn on

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:42.919
<v Speaker 2>that corny little light. Yeah, that's just not her style totally.

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:46.600
<v Speaker 2>And if that's what you associate being interested or uninterested

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.440
<v Speaker 2>or rude or this or whatever, that's not her fault. No,

0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:50.920
<v Speaker 2>that's a thing that's not.

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 1>A her thing exactly.

0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean y'all at the house. That's a y'all thing,

0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:54.640
<v Speaker 2>not a herd thing.

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 2>She was to me the sweetest girl on the planet.

0:27:57.640 --> 0:27:59.360
<v Speaker 2>So I think our relationship was like that. We had

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.439
<v Speaker 2>mad converse stations that were cool and beneficial to me

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:04.959
<v Speaker 2>outside of dancing, that helped me grow and learn and

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 2>understand as an adult and as a person, you know,

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 2>as a grown And then she worked her butt off.

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 2>She was in there for every minute of the day,

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 2>running it and videoing it and watching it. And I

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 2>just have not enough good things could to say to

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 2>justify I think she was the best, And I think

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:25.679
<v Speaker 2>that we did get robbed, not robbed of I'm not

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 2>going to sit here and say that Laurena and I

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:28.720
<v Speaker 2>were going to be the best dancing couple in the

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 2>entire competition, but you did get robbed of a journey

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>she could have developed so much, so much. I think

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:36.159
<v Speaker 2>we did get robbed of that.

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, we were all robbed of Lauren's journey,

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and it pains me. Is there anything you can share

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>about something we you were really looking forward Is there

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 1>a week you know, knowing the weeks, knowing some of

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the thoughts you had about choreography or song choices? Sure,

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>what was something you were really looking forward to doing

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't get to see?

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:55.560
<v Speaker 3>Such?

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>She was excited for both of us in our next

0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 2>two weeks. I was really excited for it. One particular

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:02.880
<v Speaker 2>was for dead ocation. Dedication tends to be pretty heavy

0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 2>as a whole, and I think some of the ones

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>that stick out the best. Like I'll tell you one

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:08.320
<v Speaker 2>that stuck out the most for me this last dedication

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:10.960
<v Speaker 2>week out of everything, was a lane. And I know

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 2>it was received weird and there's like some more little discord,

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 2>yeah whatever, But for me, I'm like, well, hold on,

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 2>it was positive, totally tons of dancing with the other person,

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 2>like you know what I'm saying that, it was like

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>a true like trio dance. Like I really appreciated that.

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I thought Alan did great.

0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I think Alan did such a great job.

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:27.479
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was gangster.

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I really did like that too.

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I think Laurence would have been along that similar line.

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:33.480
<v Speaker 2>We were going to dedicate it. We're going to basically

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>do like a daddy daughter salsa, so the immigrant family,

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the whole situation whatever. So we were going to dance

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:43.560
<v Speaker 2>to you know, the song Kim, but we were gonna

0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 2>do a salsa to that, like she was going to

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:46.760
<v Speaker 2>be at a salsa club and she was actually gonna

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 2>sing the beginning of it like a cappella to her daddy,

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 2>you know. And then make it up. Then I was

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna take her. Then she was gonna do it with

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 2>a dad, and then we were gonna do it together.

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 2>We're going to spin it out to the mom like

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.080
<v Speaker 2>we were gonna do this whole thing about that. I

0:29:57.160 --> 0:29:58.760
<v Speaker 2>stik like in a time and place right now where

0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 2>even that conversation is to talk about immigrants, yea, and

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 2>different families and different upbringings, it would have been dope.

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:07.800
<v Speaker 2>So that that sucks. Plus I love salsa.

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's all the proud.

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Lifted her and I would have not gotten trouble before.

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 1>You lifts lifts, lifts.

0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 2>You can't look like me, Like you know I eat

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:18.280
<v Speaker 2>a cheeseburger every once in a while, Like you know

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 2>that I didn't even get a chance to lift anybody

0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 2>this week, you know what I mean? Like, who am

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I Pasha? I ate a breakfast burrito bigger than Pasha

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 2>this morning.

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Danielle.

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's be honest. Though, I tell the folks at

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the house, I'm not a little dude.

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>You're not You're not a little dude, which is one

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite things about you. You are to live manly.

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>If I didn't get to lift nobody, you didn't get

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 1>to lift anybody.

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I also talk about this a lot that, like, I

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know how Danny and Pasha eat so much food,

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and Danny goes, yeah, but you eat a lot of

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:48.160
<v Speaker 1>food too, and I go, but nobody second guesses that,

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>like they go, yeah, yeah, we believe it.

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:54.959
<v Speaker 5>Danielle eats, Danielle eats a lot of food. Yeah, but

0:30:55.080 --> 0:30:58.360
<v Speaker 5>not them. You're like a kid too. She's out here

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 5>with her and I don't I know, I know. I

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 5>made a joke the other day. I was like, I

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 5>look like I never skipped the gym, but I also

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 5>never skip a cookie. And the only problem is everybody's

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:07.280
<v Speaker 5>like yeah.

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yeah, I mean don't. Yeah, yeah, I'm

0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:11.959
<v Speaker 2>gonna drop the show up here.

0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 1>You go feel exactly the same way. I don't think

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>people look at me and think I look out of shape,

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:19.240
<v Speaker 1>but they definitely they're No one's thinking, I'm like I'm

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:21.800
<v Speaker 1>in shape. But I also I will eat a cookie.

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I will never say no.

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. But here's the thing I've learned this about La too.

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 2>People be like, I eat cookies and then it's like

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 2>zero sugar, no diet. This that I'm my girl.

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Noland does cookies come on, I.

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Smack a cookie, yeah, thank you them, and maybe a

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 2>little ice cream on the side. Now I'll go for

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 2>a run and lift a few weights. Sure, so don't

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:41.000
<v Speaker 2>try me, but I bring me a cookie too.

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Could not agree with you more. Wait, that I think

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:49.640
<v Speaker 1>is the secret to healthy, healthy and non disordered eating,

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 1>because I've definitely struggled with disordered eating in my past,

0:31:53.760 --> 0:32:00.160
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm like, listen, I food truly brings me

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 1>joy and happiness, and I don't want to I don't

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>want to remove it. I don't want to worry about it.

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to stress about it. So I'm just

0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 1>also going to stay active and be as because that's

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 1>also brings me a lot of sarah toonin and joy,

0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and then I get to have both of them, and

0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:20.120
<v Speaker 1>now my life is filled with joy.

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 2>And then everything were just always. I did start a

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:27.920
<v Speaker 2>new diet, though I have to talk ares like carnivore diet,

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.479
<v Speaker 2>which there's like a lot of these diets. I did

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:30.280
<v Speaker 2>a seafood diet.

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 1>If I see food, you eat it, Okay, Wow, dad jokes.

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:35.520

<v Speaker 1>out that you two met because you slid into her DMS.

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:14.000

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:26.200
<v Speaker 2>don't want to do this whole thing. But I had

0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 2>a blue check mark on Instagram.

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh this was before you could just buy them. I know,

<v Speaker 1>Oh I get it.

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I know. I would have just bought the thing and

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 2>kept them moving. You know, man, if I was single

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 2>today's day, I'd buy a blue check mark and I'd

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 2>just beat.

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey, what's up everybody?

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, hey, what's up? When my two K followers

<v Speaker 2>and I'd be bougie boogie you're trying to slide through

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 2>McDonald's because I'm boo broke as a joke, but come

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 2>on through. I got the blue check mark fifteen dollars

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a month.

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:51.440
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of money, I know.

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:53.680
<v Speaker 2>So I slid it in. I said, hey, what's up.

0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:56.680
<v Speaker 2>She opens it up, leaves me on red. She will

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:58.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking right at you, Bridley. When you're reading this,

0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 2>click you'll say it was Oh, it was only for

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:02.520
<v Speaker 2>a few hours. It was for like two three days.

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 1>She responsored me.

0:34:04.360 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 2>She called her mother and was like, Yo, this kid.

0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 2>He says he's from Utah, says he's gonn dance with

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the stars. Her mom threw me the best alley op

0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:13.520
<v Speaker 2>in the world. He's so cute. You should go out

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 2>with him. He is on the show. So that's when

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:17.279
<v Speaker 2>I got the response back. Was when I got the

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 2>co signed from the mother in law, got the co signed,

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 2>took her the cheesecake factory. A lot of discords from that. Also,

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 2>if that's a bad first date as well, I just

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:27.720
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be able to chit chat. Then I parked

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 2>my car, chased the deer. I had to show I

0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 2>was athletic. I'm sorry, chased the deer. There was a

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:33.799
<v Speaker 2>deer on the side of the street. Parked my car,

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:36.680
<v Speaker 2>which at the time I had just bought a new little car.

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I had a little whip, you know.

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, this was you were stunting a little.

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Bit of this got out the car, and I had

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:44.640
<v Speaker 2>to show her that I was an athlete. So I

0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:46.839
<v Speaker 2>tried to chase this deer because it was giving us

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:48.760
<v Speaker 2>some eyes again Jim and cookies.

0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I had to show that I could still run, wow.

0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Play some sports. So chase the deer down. Didn't catch

0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:59.320
<v Speaker 2>the deer, but did catch phil were deer suplex. This

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 2>thing just that I was the alpha dog in this

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 2>whole area. Okay, never cut the deer, never even got

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 2>close to catching the deer. She probably thought I was

0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:08.279
<v Speaker 2>an absolute idiot. But at least the bar was set low.

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Then I could only go up from there, right, you know,

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you were like, But that always told me if I

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 2>kept people laughing at their eye, people laugh with their eyeshut.

0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:16.239
<v Speaker 2>So I look better when I make people laugh. So

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I've just been slinging jokes ever since. Then I'd be

0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:21.000
<v Speaker 2>slinging See look at this right now. I could be

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Michael Michael B. Jordan's. I could be Michael B. Jordan's

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:26.200
<v Speaker 2>sticking across from you. You don't know. Then you open the eyes.

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 2>It's Brandon, you know, so different stories. So yeah, I

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:32.360
<v Speaker 2>just sat in the DMS a few years later. Here.

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to get Briley's perspective on the chase

0:35:35.120 --> 0:35:35.839
<v Speaker 1>of the deer moment.

0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll see how accurate all that was coming out of

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 2>my mouth. Who knows, but I'm sticking to that story.

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:41.319
<v Speaker 2>So it is what it is.

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, while the season is going on, I have to say,

0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I am finding it impossible to believe that anyone gets

0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:51.279
<v Speaker 1>to even see their left ones.

0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:53.320
<v Speaker 2>I have, Well, now I have nothing, but.

0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:58.280
<v Speaker 1>You work from home.

0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Now, work from home, working from home, that home is

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:05.959
<v Speaker 2>seen a lot of work at home, seeing plenty of work.

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, we still see. You get to come out and dance.

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 1>You get to choreograph some dances. You hosted the TikTok

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Live last week? Did you enjoy that?

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I did? And not only that, we had a lot

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:19.880
<v Speaker 2>of people watch. They got a lot of new followers.

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I like that stuff. I like unscripted again, being able

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:24.799
<v Speaker 2>to talk no filter. Yeah, gotta have a filter. With

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:27.719
<v Speaker 2>ABC and Disney, part's a little harder. It is a

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:29.280
<v Speaker 2>little harder, a little harder.

0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, you were wonderful at it. You interviewed Wilfredell I

0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 1>did from Boy Meets World World. Yes, Uh, that was

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she also likes to be able to float around

0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:02.799
<v Speaker 2>and do her own thing. So we'll see what that

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:05.399

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:12.160
<v Speaker 2>each other maybe once or twice while I'm on tour.

0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:14.799
<v Speaker 2>It's been brutal to talk about long distance. I'm like,

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:18.399
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I get the long distance. So it's long,

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:21.520
<v Speaker 2>but hopefully she can just come out with us, chill out. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>root planting, family building. I just I really feel it.

0:39:43.800 --> 0:39:44.360
<v Speaker 2>All the above.

0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how old are you when you hit your first

0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:47.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight? So don't even get me started.

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like that is late early for yous?

0:39:50.480 --> 0:39:50.719
<v Speaker 3>Great?

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:52.359
<v Speaker 2>How do you feel about that? Because she's twenty seven

0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:53.799
<v Speaker 2>and she's having a heart attack and I'm like, maybe

0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I think we're okay.

0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what you No, Here's the thing. I

0:39:57.000 --> 0:39:59.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like it was late, especially now that I'm forty

0:39:59.560 --> 0:40:01.359
<v Speaker 1>four and I have a six year old and four

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 1>year old boy who both of them are I mean,

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:07.239
<v Speaker 1>they wake up at six thirty in the morning and

0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:10.759
<v Speaker 1>they're like, oh, I Am like, oh my gosh, we're

0:40:10.800 --> 0:40:13.480
<v Speaker 1>already this energetic and it's all day and they're into

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, karate and into baseball and they like wrestling,

0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm an active boy mom, And I'm like, mommy

0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>is so old. But the truth is, I would whoever

0:40:24.560 --> 0:40:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I would have had children with before I met my husband.

0:40:28.440 --> 0:40:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I would it wouldn't it happened of course the way

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 1>it's supposed to. But I think early thirties it's a

0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:38.959
<v Speaker 1>good age, the perfect time.

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:40.759
<v Speaker 2>So she has what two three years and then we

0:40:40.960 --> 0:40:41.520
<v Speaker 2>can start.

0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Two three years, then start then start thinking, planning, doing

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the things you want to do. But I think it's

0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the I think it's the perfect time. You've got the

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:54.120
<v Speaker 1>financial stability, you've already got the house, you figured out

0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:57.560
<v Speaker 1>who the village is. You know, where are you going

0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to live? Who's the village going to be? Because you

0:40:59.800 --> 0:41:01.920
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be in a place.

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not easy.

0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:04.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy.

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean in Utah by time you're nineteen, oh yeah,

0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:10.360
<v Speaker 2>if you don't have seventeen kids and seventeen credit cards,

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:12.839
<v Speaker 2>I know you who are you? I mean?

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:14.880
<v Speaker 1>You know I have not talked about this on this

0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:16.680
<v Speaker 1>show yet, but you know, my best friend growing up

0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:20.960
<v Speaker 1>was Mormon. Her family, her dad was actually the bishop wow,

0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:23.640
<v Speaker 1>And so they would let me. You know, Sundays were

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:25.640
<v Speaker 1>family days, so not days you get to hang out

0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:28.520
<v Speaker 1>with friends. But I could hang out with them if

0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:29.919
<v Speaker 1>I went to church with them, if you went to church.

0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:33.560
<v Speaker 1>So I used to go to church, spend the whole day.

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I know I've been I've been around. I've been around.

0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:39.719
<v Speaker 2>So you've seen the rabbit cages. There's a lot of babies,

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:40.880
<v Speaker 2>lots of them.

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:43.439
<v Speaker 1>And like you said, by nineteen years old, yeah, three

0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:44.760
<v Speaker 1>four kids by mid twenties.

0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but in their head they're so grown. And now

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:50.200
<v Speaker 2>that I'm grown and kind of remove myself from from

0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:53.120
<v Speaker 2>that lifestyle like that, that just even just being outside

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:56.680
<v Speaker 2>of phys physical space, Like looking back at it, I'm like, oh,

<v Speaker 2>my goodness, and no power, no knock to it. Like

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.360
<v Speaker 2>if that's what your goal and your intention of life

0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:03.760
<v Speaker 2>is more, it's beautiful. I see all these beautiful families,

0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:06.160
<v Speaker 2>like it's incredible. I can't think at thirty one having

0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:08.760
<v Speaker 2>like ten kids right now, I'd be like, what now doing?

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I know they did it.

0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Finally, I am asking everyone who comes on this Yere

<v Speaker 2>a shout out to my boy, you have Pasha the Goat,

0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I know, one of the most intellectual, thought out planned

0:42:37.000 --> 0:42:39.359
<v Speaker 2>professionals that I know. And to me, if you wanted

0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to define the word professional, you look it up in

0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the dictionary, you'll be Pasha on time, honest crap. Always

0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:48.120
<v Speaker 2>just execute it, very high, consistent, correct, not like this,

0:42:48.360 --> 0:42:50.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, always like this. So listen to him. Number

0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:53.440
<v Speaker 2>one first and foremost. Number two, I would say, and

0:42:53.480 --> 0:42:56.479
<v Speaker 2>I've talked about this lot with Chandler in my head,

0:42:56.760 --> 0:42:59.719
<v Speaker 2>my mind, you're going to go very far, probably all

0:42:59.760 --> 0:43:02.640
<v Speaker 2>the way, it would be my opinion. Okay, you're what

0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:05.600
<v Speaker 2>the show is not a no no dance experience. You

0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:08.120
<v Speaker 2>come in, you learn, you're good. You know, it's not

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 2>like one of these people that you're like, they have

0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:12.399
<v Speaker 2>no dance experience, but then they suck. You're kind of like,

0:43:12.480 --> 0:43:15.440
<v Speaker 2>who cares? You know you you don't have any dance experience,

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:16.040
<v Speaker 2>but you're good.

0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Wow, let's let's settle down on the Oh, you're good,

0:43:19.040 --> 0:43:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you're getting better.

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Getting better, but also good. Like these routines that you're

0:43:22.680 --> 0:43:26.000
<v Speaker 2>getting are full of content, they're hard. You're good. I

0:43:26.040 --> 0:43:28.120
<v Speaker 2>would just remind you to make sure that you enjoy

<v Speaker 1>more like statistical things, like being that they were at

0:44:27.040 --> 0:44:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the leaderboard. They needed four million, like

0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:33.120
<v Speaker 1>they did. I feel like, where did that go?

0:44:33.440 --> 0:44:33.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:36.280
<v Speaker 2>They also used to have judges saved with the judges

0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:38.160
<v Speaker 2>at the very last. They saved me and Kenya a

0:44:38.200 --> 0:44:41.799
<v Speaker 2>few times, so I'm always a fan of judges. I

0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:45.080

<v Speaker 2>to look like a Diesel trucks walking through the door,

0:46:36.480 --> 0:46:38.440
<v Speaker 2>but then I want to turn to the side and disappear.

0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you also want to look cold?

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:43.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I would prefer a little nip in the air. Yeah, yeah,

0:46:43.280 --> 0:46:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I would take a little nip in the air is

0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:46.839
<v Speaker 2>better than the flying saucer. So I'll take a little

0:46:46.960 --> 0:46:49.680
<v Speaker 2>nip in the air. I think we could design this,

0:46:49.760 --> 0:46:51.879
<v Speaker 2>but not like caughting a diamond now, just a little

0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:55.480
<v Speaker 2>cold Ye, that's fair enough.

0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I think we could design this and pitch this to skims.

0:46:58.440 --> 0:47:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Anybody wants to skims, you know what.

0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:03.719
<v Speaker 1>For men, but for me, they for our men.

0:47:03.760 --> 0:47:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about sexist. Yeah, because what y'all are being sexist?

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:11.680
<v Speaker 1>You know what? I'm not gonna argue with you. Absolutely no.

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:17.360
<v Speaker 1>We have the the amount of contraptions we have to

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:20.720
<v Speaker 1>suck things in, pull things up, smooth things out, harden

0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:22.400
<v Speaker 1>some nips and you guys.

0:47:22.239 --> 0:47:25.120
<v Speaker 2>And I'm expected to do that organically correct. But I

0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:27.600
<v Speaker 2>can't enjoy my cookies and cream ice cream. I have to.

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I got to turn the A C down my electricity

0:47:29.960 --> 0:47:32.200
<v Speaker 2>bill to get my nips. It was sixty six degrees

0:47:32.239 --> 0:47:35.240
<v Speaker 2>in my apartment. No, that's not fair. And y'all are sexist.

0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:39.560
