And I do believe in 177 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: people coming into each other's lives at certain time times. 178 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: So you know, we send each other memes all day 179 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: and text and we'll have a phone call. And you 180 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: know what, we stayed in LA for about two weeks 181 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: after the show, and we hung out a ton of times, 182 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: and he hung out with Alex. So it's it's he's 183 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,119 Speaker 1: a really special person. 184 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: Awesome. Do you think that any of the issues or 185 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: the like backlash that Gleb had from last season affected 186 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: anything on your season. 187 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: Look, I think it's a combination of a lot of things. 188 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: It's a reality show, right, and that's it. It's a 189 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: reality show. Now, it's a fun reality show. It's a 190 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: everybody's warm and fuzzy on the inside reality show. But 191 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: it's a reality show. And so I look, I met him, 192 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, right away, and obviously this is the show 193 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: came out, the Dancing Stars came out when everything was 194 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: coming out about you know, what was what had happened 195 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: with him in the pastor has not happened with him? Right? 196 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't like commenting on other 197 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: people's relationships, but you know, I told him we're partnership. 198 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: We go through things together in every single way, and 199 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: I really think that. I think that we are a package. 200 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: And of course people are going to vote for certain reasons, 201 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: and there's going to be people who are going to 202 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: try to influence people. But all we could do was 203 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: do our best dancing and have the most fun, and 204 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: we did. We did that, right. 205 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: Do you think you guys are unfairly cut from the competition? 206 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 2: Should other people have gone home before you? 207 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: That's a really hard question because I love everybody on 208 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: the show, and if you know me, I'm like peace 209 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: and love and I'm a Samles wull dance together forever. 210 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: I mean I cried every single time somebody was eliminated. 211 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: I like really had a very hard time afterwards and 212 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: was a lot to process. And it's like a weird 213 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: mixed feeling of like, Okay, I get to go to 214 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: dance tomorrow, but it's painful because everybody worked so hard. 215 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: And you know, dancing wise, we're very we're you know, 216 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: we're very good together at glebinin dancing wise, we are 217 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: very good together. 218 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 3: And I know that. 219 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: I know that because I have a background in dance do. 220 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: I love watching Andy Richter like improve and he's just 221 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: a joy to watch. Absolutely, So every single partner on there, 222 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: whether they got eliminated first or they are going to win, 223 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: is valid because dancing is about entertainment and enjoying it. 224 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: Anyone can dance, and so you know, again this isn't 225 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: who's the best dancer, This is you know, whose journey 226 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: are we watching? And you know what music choice was it? 227 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: And what does that resonate with people? And what are 228 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: the online campaigns to support people and to tear people down. 229 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: That's all a big part of the reality show. So 230 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, I mean what, I've continued, loved to continue 231 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: to dance, absolutely, But at the same time, I said 232 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: to my kids. My kids were there and they were crying, 233 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: and I kneeled down with them on the ballroom floor. 234 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: After the cameras were often, I said, I know, I'm 235 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: really and I'm crying too, So I'm really really sad. 236 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: And I want you to look at my castmates and 237 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: you see how happy they are. And part of this 238 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 1: experience is being happy for the people who get to 239 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: dance tomorrow, and so I really never want to lose that. 240 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm reminding myself and teaching them. So 241 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: I do feel like it's a it's a mixed bag. 242 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. And speaking of internet chatter, do you agree with 243 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: the heat that Yan is getting. 244 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: I've only seen like headlines. First of all, I love Yon, 245 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: I love Yon. I was I've been laughing a little 246 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: bit because there was some really like funny, like obviously 247 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: bullshit trash article about me that I was having like 248 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: a fit that I wasn't dancing with Yon when I 249 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't like and I was like, and at that 250 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: point it was so funny because I hadn't actually been 251 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: to I went to LA for the promos, and then 252 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: I was back rehearsing in New York for a little 253 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: bit because the dancing the stars are so supportive and 254 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: they helped me have some extra time in New York 255 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: to transition my family.

You don't get 260 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: a dressing room dancing with You do get a trailer, 261 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: But trailer lighting, I think is just pretty fluorescent. It's 262 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: my first trailer I ever had, but I think that 263 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: they just across the bad fluorescent. Maybe if you're like 264 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: a super stud you get a special lighting. But it 265 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: was like all these like obviously just who I also 266 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: wonder who are these people who just like write this stuff? 267 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm not even physically present to 268 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: be doing any of these things, and I don't know 269 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: who Yan is. So that was my first introduction to 270 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: Yan was apparently I was really mad that I. 271 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 3: Wasn't dancing with him, and I like laughed about it 272 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 3: so much. 273 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: Where we finally did meet, I was like, do you 274 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: know that apparently I have through a tantrum that I 275 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: wasn't dancing with you. 276 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: But so, first of all, Yan is a beautiful dancer. 277 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 3: He's no. 278 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: Is he a ballroom dancer? No, but not everybody on 279 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: there is a ballroom dancer. You know, they've learned some ballroom, 280 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: but they're not a ballroom dancer. And I think that 281 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: he brings something completely unique. He's one of the loveliest 282 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: people you'll ever meet. He's such a good person, and 283 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: so is Jen, and they're so cute together. I mean, 284 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: every single time I watched them, I have a great 285 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: time watching them. So I feel like everybody, look again, 286 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: it goes back to it's a reality show and people 287 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: are trying to create drama about it. But if you 288 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: really know the people, you know, just let people dance. 289 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: That's it. Let people dance and enjoy it. 290 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 2: If they did a redemption season to bring back contestants, 291 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: would you do with it. 292 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: No, I'm obsessed with Dancing with the Stars. I like, 293 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 3: I had the best time at the time in my life. 294 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 2: Everyone says that when they come off the show, they're like, 295 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: oh my god, I just want to dance. That's all 296 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: I want to do now. 297 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's again. It is such a positive experience 298 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: and it's hard on your nervous system to like just 299 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: stop because like every every day, no days off, every day, 300 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: and then you wake up the next day and you're like, okay, 301 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: what do I do with myself today? And of course 302 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: I have seven kids, so I know what I'm doing 303 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: with myself. And it is you get into this routine 304 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: of just like, Okay, this is what I thought it 305 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: was going to be, and now it's over. You just 306 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: you know, get you get off the train. So it 307 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: is that is a painful side to it. But truly, truly, truly, 308 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: it's only been a positive experience. I would say that 309 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: the one thing is like when you go and you 310 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: do the podcast right afterwards, where I. 311 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: Like bald my eyes out. I think a lot of 312 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 3: people bother their eyes out afterwards because. 313 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: It's just so emotional. 314 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: I had my kids outside the room and. 315 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: They were crying, so I'm having to act try out 316 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: like a logical conversation. I'm like hearing my kids crying 317 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm dressed up like Princess Leah, Like I'm seeing the 318 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: ridiculousness of myself doing this, and you just get up 319 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, I don't know, I don't 320 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: know what to say.
