Okay, 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.040 what made you want to join Dancing with the Stars. 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:36.920 Dancing with the Stars was a really fast, last minute, 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.680 wild whirlwind of universe coming together. 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:41.920 I mean, I love to dance. 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:43.680 I danced when I was much younger, and I broke 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.199 my hip, so I stopped dancing. I couldn't walk for 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.400 the better part of a year, and I was I 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:52.559 was new to TikTok. I am new to TikTok, and 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.880 I was trying to figure out what TikTok is about. 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.920 Only people dance. So I started dancing on TikTok and 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.080 I'm dancing with my husband, and people start writing in 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.640 Dancing with the Stars, and then all of a sudden, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.520 Dancing with the Stars called me and they're like, do 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.080 you want to jump on a plane in a couple 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.559 of days and come here and I was like, looked 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:08.000 over my. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.119 Husband and I looked at my kids. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.080 I was like, okay, and then we went on this 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.959 like wild, fun adventure. So it was really a really 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.000 exciting universe coming together experience. 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.319 Right, did your whole family move out to LA for 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:21.160 the time you were on. 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.800 Yes, Alec was back and forth because he I mean again, 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.440 this was not something that we had planned. Some people, 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:28.959 I think they know that they're going to do this 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.720 like a year before. I mean mine was like days before. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.880 So it was a you know, we pivoted. We took 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.479 the kids out of their normal school and we put 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.120 them in homeschool when they were out there. So it 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.280 was just a lot of pivoting and rallying and sort 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.200 of being like, all right, mommy's going on this adventure, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.640 so let's go with them with her. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.440 And were the kids excited for you? 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.960 So excited? And they loved when it was show day. 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.120 They loved when it was showday and they'd come and 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.840 they'd think about what they're wearing and where they're sitting. 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.000 And then the little ones would come in just for 0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:59.720 my performance because they were a little bit too small 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.760 to watch. Have the attention span for the whole thing, but. 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.920 Yeah, they were so cute sitting in the audience. Did 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.519 you have any hesitations about joining after your your hip issues? 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.360 I mean, I think that it's not just the hip. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:17.320 I broke my foot a year ago. I've broken my 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.160 ankle a few years ago. I mean, I and it's 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.240 not you know, I don't have weak bones. I just 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.880 have I'm just insane and I do crazy physical things 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.160 like I broke my inkle almost getting hit by a car. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.000 Like there's like it's always there's a story to each 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.519 one of them. But I you know, I mean, I 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.519 think it was more am I being crazy? 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.400 And you know, I'm a mom and I have seven. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.120 Kids, and I believe very much in Reugene, and so 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.040 I feel like it was more that. But my kids 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.720 and my husband, even you know, not my very younger kids, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.720 but my older kids were being able to articulate. Mom, 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.560 you always support us everything that we're doing, and so 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.200 we want to be there to cheer you on. And 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.040 even you know, said to my daughter, I was scared 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.160 when I go out there, my oldest I said, what 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.480 if I and the first week and I'd made this 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.160 big deal and we all flew out there, And she 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.040 said mommy, at least you tried. And I love that 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.240 my kids know that, and I just I was I 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.960 don't know other parents out there, but like when your 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.040 kids says something that just like you know, it knocks 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:14.639 the wind. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.240 Out of you because it is just so beautiful. That 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:17.640 was one of those moments for me. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.600 That's awesome. That's awesome. All right, So getting to this show, 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.560 how did you balance for her soul, mommy life everything 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:25.760 like that? Oh? 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.200 It was hard. And actually one of my best friends 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.560 came out with me and helped me with the kids 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.359 because Alec again was back and forth. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.200 My nannies came out with me. 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.480 So there's that. But you know, I mean it was 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.320 it was hard because my kids are used to me 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.720 being around a lot. I'm a very you know, physically 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.120 present mom, and so it was you know, and they 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:50.120 knew that when I got home, your body hurts and 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.680 I'm tired, and I you know, don't have as much 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.400 energy to run around with them. But they also, again 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.360 especially the older ones, really understood that no matter how 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:00.880 long I was gonna be on the show, was a 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.000 short period of time. This was just for now, and 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.400 they wanted they you know, they fell in love with 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.160 glev my dance partner. They fell in love with so 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.240 many of the other pros. And my daughter Carmen is 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.960 obsessed with Danielle Fischel and to paying gay and she's like, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:15.280 oh my. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.000 God, I love to paying. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.560 So they just say they really knew that this was 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.479 a once in a lifetime adventure. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.000 Right, What were you hoping to get out of dancing 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.719 with the stars. Were you hoping to show like another 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.320 side of yourself or just kind of a personal you know. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.120 I mean, I've been asked a question, the questions like 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.080 that is like, you know, everybody's always wanting let me, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.680 let me try to prove myself to you guys. Now, 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.000 let me show you something different about me. I don't 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.320 think I'm calculated enough to know how to do that. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.880 I just don't think things through obviously most of the time. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.560 I really feel that. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.400 I just I love to move my body, and I 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.800 love to dance and to put those dance shoes on again. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.680 And you know, after the very first dance we were 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.479 finishing in about it was our idea and I just 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.360 kept on, We're just not even thinking and I kept 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.240 on bending over and I touched the ground and it 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.440 was like this, you know that that dance floor that 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.640 I knew so well that I you know, I, I 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.200 said goodbye to you a long time ago, and it 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.120 just to have that emotional connection. And you know, moms, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.279 we like, you know, especially when we're in our forties, 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.760 everything is about Okay, where's what's my kids need to do? 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.039 And what does my work need to do? 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.360 And so we lose so much of our own identity 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.960 and so this was just such a beautiful reconnection, reconnecting 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.880 with something that had was very meaningful to me. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.239 Right, yeah, are you excited to go back for the finale? 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.640 You cannot?

He was gonna 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:52.480 we're going to do our dance to our first wedding dance, 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.159 and it was going to be like SNL meets Dancing 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:02.479 with the Stars meets like Blackpool Dancing meets just like 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.120 ridiculous Baldwinville. So it's like it was gonna be really 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:07.840 really funny, and you know, who know, it was down 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.760 the line if there's gonna be an opportunity for us 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.920 to create that or not. 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:17.480 You know, do you know what you're doing? For the finale. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.320 I have no idea. I have to I have to 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.200 call Gleb and ask him. I hope it'll be something fun. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.120 I don't I don't really know that much about about it. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.760 I haven't you know, I should watch the finales of 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.560 other seasons. But I hope it'll be like One Last 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:33.640 Dance would be so fun. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.080 Yeah. Absolutely. Are you still in touch with Gleb or 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.680 anyone else with the show or is it hard right 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.760 now because the show's still no, no. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.200 No no. Glev and I are going to be like 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.640 lifelong friends. We became like buddies right away. I'm like, 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.720 you know, I feel that he's another person I feel 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:55.119 so lucky to have connected with. You know, he really 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.080 is a special, special person. And I do believe in 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.320 people coming into each other's lives at certain time times. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.160 So you know, we send each other memes all day 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.280 and text and we'll have a phone call. And you 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.800 know what, we stayed in LA for about two weeks 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.840 after the show, and we hung out a ton of times, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.000 and he hung out with Alex. So it's it's he's 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.119 a really special person. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:21.080 Awesome. Do you think that any of the issues or 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.000 the like backlash that Gleb had from last season affected 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:25.320 anything on your season. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.040 Look, I think it's a combination of a lot of things. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.840 It's a reality show, right, and that's it. It's a 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.440 reality show. Now, it's a fun reality show. It's a 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.800 everybody's warm and fuzzy on the inside reality show. But 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:43.280 it's a reality show. And so I look, I met him, 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.880 you know, right away, and obviously this is the show 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.960 came out, the Dancing Stars came out when everything was 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.920 coming out about you know, what was what had happened 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.280 with him in the pastor has not happened with him? Right? 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:58.760 I don't even know. I don't like commenting on other 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:03.880 people's relationships, but you know, I told him we're partnership. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.240 We go through things together in every single way, and 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:13.240 I really think that. I think that we are a package. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.120 And of course people are going to vote for certain reasons, 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:17.520 and there's going to be people who are going to 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.640 try to influence people. But all we could do was 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.280 do our best dancing and have the most fun, and 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.240 we did. We did that, right. 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.040 Do you think you guys are unfairly cut from the competition? 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.679 Should other people have gone home before you? 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.559 That's a really hard question because I love everybody on 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.480 the show, and if you know me, I'm like peace 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.720 and love and I'm a Samles wull dance together forever. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.319 I mean I cried every single time somebody was eliminated. 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.240 I like really had a very hard time afterwards and 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.120 was a lot to process. And it's like a weird 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.079 mixed feeling of like, Okay, I get to go to 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.280 dance tomorrow, but it's painful because everybody worked so hard. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:01.839 And you know, dancing wise, we're very we're you know, 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.440 we're very good together at glebinin dancing wise, we are 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:05.160 very good together. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:06.160 And I know that. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.199 I know that because I have a background in dance do. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:15.240 I love watching Andy Richter like improve and he's just 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:20.720 a joy to watch. Absolutely, So every single partner on there, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.360 whether they got eliminated first or they are going to win, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.520 is valid because dancing is about entertainment and enjoying it. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.000 Anyone can dance, and so you know, again this isn't 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:36.000 who's the best dancer, This is you know, whose journey 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.440 are we watching? And you know what music choice was it? 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.040 And what does that resonate with people? And what are 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.360 the online campaigns to support people and to tear people down. 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.640 That's all a big part of the reality show. So 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.800 you know, I mean what, I've continued, loved to continue 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.600 to dance, absolutely, But at the same time, I said 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.240 to my kids. My kids were there and they were crying, 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.160 and I kneeled down with them on the ballroom floor. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.640 After the cameras were often, I said, I know, I'm 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.640 really and I'm crying too, So I'm really really sad. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.280 And I want you to look at my castmates and 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.320 you see how happy they are. And part of this 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.599 experience is being happy for the people who get to 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.680 dance tomorrow, and so I really never want to lose that. 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.439 And you know, I'm reminding myself and teaching them. So 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.560 I do feel like it's a it's a mixed bag. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.960 Yeah. And speaking of internet chatter, do you agree with 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.880 the heat that Yan is getting. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.320 I've only seen like headlines. First of all, I love Yon, 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.800 I love Yon. I was I've been laughing a little 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:38.240 bit because there was some really like funny, like obviously 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.079 bullshit trash article about me that I was having like 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.959 a fit that I wasn't dancing with Yon when I 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.960 I wasn't like and I was like, and at that 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.760 point it was so funny because I hadn't actually been 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.199 to I went to LA for the promos, and then 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.240 I was back rehearsing in New York for a little 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.079 bit because the dancing the stars are so supportive and 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.000 they helped me have some extra time in New York 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.920 to transition my family. But I was like reading this 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.960 stuff and I'm like, who's Yan like? And apparently I'm 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.640 like throwing things it mad that I'm not dancing with 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.880 Yan and something about like I needed a certain lighting 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.679 in my dressing room that doesn't exist. You don't get 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.480 a dressing room dancing with You do get a trailer, 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.560 But trailer lighting, I think is just pretty fluorescent. It's 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.040 my first trailer I ever had, but I think that 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.160 they just across the bad fluorescent. Maybe if you're like 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:22.960 a super stud you get a special lighting. But it 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.120 was like all these like obviously just who I also 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.320 wonder who are these people who just like write this stuff? 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.680 And I was like, I'm not even physically present to 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.079 be doing any of these things, and I don't know 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.000 who Yan is. So that was my first introduction to 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.160 Yan was apparently I was really mad that I. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.960 Wasn't dancing with him, and I like laughed about it 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:39.320 so much. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.000 Where we finally did meet, I was like, do you 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:42.760 know that apparently I have through a tantrum that I 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:43.600 wasn't dancing with you. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.640 But so, first of all, Yan is a beautiful dancer. 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:49.240 He's no. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.280 Is he a ballroom dancer? No, but not everybody on 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.880 there is a ballroom dancer. You know, they've learned some ballroom, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.839 but they're not a ballroom dancer. And I think that 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.280 he brings something completely unique. He's one of the loveliest 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.600 people you'll ever meet. He's such a good person, and 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.040 so is Jen, and they're so cute together. I mean, 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.640 every single time I watched them, I have a great 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.199 time watching them. So I feel like everybody, look again, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.320 it goes back to it's a reality show and people 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.000 are trying to create drama about it. But if you 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.040 really know the people, you know, just let people dance. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.800 That's it. Let people dance and enjoy it. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.319 If they did a redemption season to bring back contestants, 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:36.040 would you do with it. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.840 No, I'm obsessed with Dancing with the Stars. I like, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.680 I had the best time at the time in my life. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.199 Everyone says that when they come off the show, they're like, 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:45.640 oh my god, I just want to dance. That's all 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:46.360 I want to do now. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.840 Yeah, no, it's again. It is such a positive experience 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.640 and it's hard on your nervous system to like just 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.839 stop because like every every day, no days off, every day, 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.120 and then you wake up the next day and you're like, okay, 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:02.760 what do I do with myself today? And of course 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.120 I have seven kids, so I know what I'm doing 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.800 with myself. And it is you get into this routine 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.160 of just like, Okay, this is what I thought it 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.679 was going to be, and now it's over. You just 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.600 you know, get you get off the train. So it 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.920 is that is a painful side to it. But truly, truly, truly, 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.120 it's only been a positive experience. I would say that 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:22.480 the one thing is like when you go and you 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.600 do the podcast right afterwards, where I. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:25.880 Like bald my eyes out. I think a lot of 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:27.600 people bother their eyes out afterwards because. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:28.000 It's just so emotional. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.960 I had my kids outside the room and. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.040 They were crying, so I'm having to act try out 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.840 like a logical conversation. I'm like hearing my kids crying 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.880 I'm dressed up like Princess Leah, Like I'm seeing the 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.760 ridiculousness of myself doing this, and you just get up 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.560 and you're like, all right, I don't know, I don't 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.240 know what to say. I'm just I guess I'll be 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:49.800 the new meme tomorrow, which I watched. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.880 I mean, you know, they're always looking for that. So 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.640 going back to the show, did you have any say 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.120 in your song or picking your wardrobe or anything like that. 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.800 Definitely in the songs we had a ton of say 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.640 they really dancing the stories really wants your personality to shine, 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.360 so they listen to you a lot, and they really care. 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.520 There's lots of teams having meetings. I also am the 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.400 kind of person where I come on to this and 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.640 I know that I'm you know, I'm not the pro 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.440 on it, neither in dance or in costuming or in 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.960 what's gonna sound the best or the camera angles. So 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.960 you do see like I'd be sitting next to my 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.600 castmates and they're in like the make out, hair and 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.040 makeup chair and they're actively telling people who what to do. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.920 I sometimes wonder if it's an endearing quality about me 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.560 or it just makes me you know, kind of a 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.480 pushover where I'm like, do what you want to do. 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.680 I am here to enjoy your enjoy your expertise. So 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.800 I really, for the most part, like costume wise, hair wise, 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.960 makeup wise, I just enjoyed being around these people who 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:57.360 are very good at what they do. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.960 Did you ever have any wardrobe mount functions right before show? 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.760 Oh? And yes I did. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:10.120 Let's see, I had my first costume there was so 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.560 first of all, like you want to you wear this 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.960 costume for a while, like a really long while, because 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.280 we do a dress rehearsal and then we have a 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.200 quick break and then we go into the live show 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.520 and and and then you've done a rehearsal and practice 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.400 close before, so you've you've done this dance many many times. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.920 You know, i'd get to the studio, I'd I get 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.400 to air and make up between six thirty and seven thirty. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.120 And you know sometimes we weren't out until I want 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.640 to say, like nine thirty ten, after doing press and everything. 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.600 And so the first one. So trying to like pee 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.520 in these outfits right before you're going to go on 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.240 is a feat in itself, especially like I like feathers 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.600 and you're like pulling to one side. It's just it's 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.840 just not it's not a graceful situation. And as I'm 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:01.000 looking down, I see this string, hey, from like the 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.520 crotch of my of my dress. So I mean, I 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.040 thank god like I went to pee before, because like 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.080 it would have been extraordinarily embarrassing to be like, you know, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.359 why is there this string hanging out from the cratch 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:14.280 of her So we. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:14.880 Found that one out. 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.760 It was actually really really tight on my They made 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:20.159 it a little bit too tight on my neck, so 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.359 I was bruised to the next day all my collar 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.400 bones the back of my neck because of how tight 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.159 the dress was. And I mean, they want to make 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.880 sure that there are no wardrobe those kinds of wardrobe malfunctions. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.040 The week afterwards, we did. 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:36.640 Tangle and my elbows like we had to tape them 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.480 because it was like getting like this awful pain in 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.400 my elbows from that. You know, he sort of threw 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:46.639 me around into a trick towards the end. But I 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.040 feel like the other ones it was, you know, not 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.760 as not as much. The last outfit was probably my 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.160 least favorite because it was just like so much fabric 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.440 and it was like we kept on catching each other 0:17:58.480 --> 0:17:59.600 on it and made it hard to dance. 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.639 But so yeah, that was that was that nice. 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.159 Did you guys have a costume plan for the Halloween episode? 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.480 No, we were playing around with different ideas. I like 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.760 the idea of doing Fantom of the Opera. That's what's 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.800 been super fun. But we were kind of like you 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.520 kind of plan on two weeks ahead because you don't 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:20.879 want to count your chickens too what you want to 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.280 be prepared, but right not overly prepared, because any heart 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:25.080 gets broken more. 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.280 It's been said that once you've spent seven days a 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.520 week training for Dancing with the Stars, even though it's 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.719 really hard, it gives you that confidence that I can 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.280 do anything. You feel that And is there anything that 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.639 you want to do now that maybe like you were 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:40.679 afraid to do before? 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.840 Or I always feel like. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.200 Kids is right? 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.240
