Speaker 3: Hey man, happy to be here.

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: Ryan. So many questions for you, but let's start with

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: talking about this show. The show in general. It feels

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: like a new kind of theme of the Bachelor franchise

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: where they're bringing in, uh Chippendale to teach men how

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: to dance. How do you hear about the call? And

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 2: why do you agree to come on to this crazy show.

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've been developing a relationship with the Golden Bachelor

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: that throughout this year that we've really enjoyed. Yeah, I

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: know a few of the guys. Before I'd done this

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: particular episode, a few of the guys had flown out

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 4: to do a few others, been to New York and

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: a few other places. So my I'm the dance captain

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: for the show. I've been with the show for over

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: a decade now, and my job is to teach and

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 4: organize the show. So anyone knew that's coming in, Let's

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 4: say anyone from you know, just a new hire, to

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 4: one of our celebrity guests like Vinty G from Jersey Shore.

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 4: When these guys come in and need to learn the shows,

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 4: my job to teach them. And then it's my job

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: to organize who's in what spot for the night where

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: everyone goes.

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 3: Make sure that what's running into each other, make sure

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: all the tracks are covered.

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: So when the old Bachelor came and they're like, hey,

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 4: we we want to work with the Chip and Nails

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: and work with you guys and have a few of

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: our guys, you know, get coached up. That's kind of

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: my role in the show anyway, And I was I

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: was really excited to take a call and say yes.

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: So it does it change anything for you when you hear, hey,

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: these guys are all going to be sixty plus or

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: is it the same kind of strategy if you had

41
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: a celebrity guest.

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: Come on, Yeah, it's the same kind of strategy. It's

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: it's usually age is less much less of a fact

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: than you know, how familiar you are with movement and

45
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: how familiar you are with your own body and how

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 4: to get around and what your arm's doing while your

47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 4: legs doing something, while your head's doing something. So it's

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 4: more kind of getting familiar with people and how much

49
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: they know their body rather than if they're twenty or

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 4: forty or sixty either.

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: So if you were a critic, what, how do you

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: feel like these men knew their body going into it?

53
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: Good? Good?

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: You know, I'd say age always helps that you know

55
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 4: a little more. The more time you have in it,

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: the more you know about it, good, the good end,

57
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: the bad.

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: Right.

59
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: That can include like, ah, these not going well today,

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: or you know it's going to rain, but yeah, no, no,

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: these those guys are great man, and uh you know,

62
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: and and different levels you know within that, but I

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: you know, I tend to find and I don't know

64
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: the story of all these guys, but especially anyone that

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: used to be like a former athlete, like if anyone

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: played football or hockey or even like MMA or stuff

67
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 4: like that, they tend to just carry a body awareness

68
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: with them.

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 3: You know.

70
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: It's it's if you're you know, even just in college

71
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: for a couple of years played defensive back. You know,

72
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: you're learning to turn your hips and run and move

73
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: and put your hands up or you know, definitely any

74
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: sort of you know, karate, jiu jitsu, any of that stuff,

75
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: any fighting. You know, you are learning how to use

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: your body in multiple ways at once, and I can

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: get I can get a lot of dance moves out

78
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: of that.

79
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: It was.

80
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: It was impressive to I think the audience.

81
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

82
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: In fact, I talked to a Bachelor producer today that

83
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: said that this date was their favorite group date they've

84
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: ever shot, that it was the most fun. And I

85
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: felt like, as a fan now of the show, when

86
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: I watched it, it was joy filled. There was a

87
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: lot of fun, a lot of commitment. And then I

88
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: was also impressed that every one of these guys, at

89
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: least from what we saw, just dove into this. Is

90
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: that what you experienced while you were filming it?

91
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was.

92
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 4: It was a really fun process because of that. And

93
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna hit the nail on the head

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: there that I've taught for a long time, I've been

95
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: not only dance captain here for a long time. I've

96
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: been dance captain to the other non review shows, like more

97
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 4: traditional song.

98
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 3: And dance shows.

99
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 4: I've taught a lot of dance to a lot of people,

100
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: and I can do it.

101
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: I know what I'm doing. The one thing I cannot.

102
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: Teach and cannot put in someone is the ability to

103
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 4: buy in and the ability to care right, So, you know,

104
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 4: having someone be braver, especially you know, it's think of

105
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: any skill you've tried that was out of your comfort

106
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: zone or a new skill, especially in front of people,

107
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: in front of people you're friends with, competing against, in

108
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: front of you know, these cameras that are going.

109
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: To be someone that's famillions of people.

110
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: It can be scary. It can be scary to jump in.

111
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: It can be scary by yourself alone with all that

112
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 4: other stuff going on. So these guys were just headfirst

113
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: into the deep, into the pool. And that's that's the

114
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: one thing I can't teach. And that's what makes it fun.

115
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: That's what actually helps people learn quicker and get into

116
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: it quicker is the ones that are like, all right,

117
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 4: we're doing this.

118
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: And every single one of those gentlemen had that, So

119
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: that was very fun.

120
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: Is there anything that we didn't see? I'm assuming you

121
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: saw last night's episode. If you didn't, that's okay, But

122
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: is there anything that wasn't shown that happened during this

123
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: whole day that you were like, gosh, I wish that

124
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: would have been shown or that really kind of was

125
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: a good memorable moment for you.

126
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, full disclosure, I have not seen the episode yet.

127
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: So we did have a Chipendale show last night while

128
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: it was airing, and uh, I just came out afterwards,

129
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 4: spent a whole time with my wife and I haven't

130
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: gotten to it yet. But uh, but yeah, I I

131
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 4: there wasn't from my experience on the show, I don't know,

132
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: you know, I'm sure a couple of things on the

133
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 4: cuategy floor, but I don't think that because there wasn't

134
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: like multiple locations or multiple sections of this like you know,

135
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: especially compared to other TV that I've done, it seemed

136
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 4: pretty uh pretty honest as far as you know, I

137
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 4: almost didn't totally know in the best way.

138
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: I didn't totally know what to expect what was going

139
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: to go on. You know. They taught me like, hey,

140
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: these gonna be the guys. We want to teach them

141
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: a couple of moves.

142
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: Even when I asked for framework of like well, do

143
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: you want like a B and C or D E

144
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 4: enough like you do.

145
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: You have fun with it?

146
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, once the the guys came in, even the

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: the little intro number that you know, the three classic

148
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: guys did and then the three current guys. Did you know,

149
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 4: we we set that on the spot because I didn't

150
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: know what to Say's just gonna be like with the room.

151
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: It's going to be like sometimes if you choreograph something

152
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: too much in advance, you get there, the room is

153
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: different in the time stiff, you got to redo it anyway,

154
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: So you know, the six of us all work together

155
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: and just set that up on the spot. And then

156
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: when the guys came in and you know, I honestly

157
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 4: met them, and then you know, there's three cameras around

158
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: the room and they were like, all right, go, So

159
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: I assume what what was showed on TV is uh,

160
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: you know, pretty pretty straightforward of what we actually did,

161
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: which was just come in and meet the guys.

162
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: Everyone's having fun, shake hands, start learning.

163
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: A couple of moves, do a little warm up, learning

164
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: video team, and then uh, you know, we took like

165
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 4: an hour or two when they all got into their

166
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: costumes and then we had to come out as honest,

167
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: honest fans there and sit in the audience and watch

168
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: it go down.

169
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: Was there anybody that surprised or impressed you? I mean,

170
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: for me, I look back, I think one, it was

171
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: awesome to see Charles come out and do what he did.

172
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: But also his name's but I call him Goldie. Uh

173
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: he ripped off his shirt. Let that you know, belly

174
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: just get shown. It was awesome. It was just such

175
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: a fun moment. Was there anybody else that like surprised

176
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: you as you watched it bat or as you were

177
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: watching in the audience.

178
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you exactly. To surprise me, every single

179
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 4: one of them. Okay, awesome and not to get like

180
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: a much of a cliche diplomatic answer, but no, the

181
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: the amount of buy in from all the guys, because

182
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 4: it's it's that's something you learned pretty fast doing our show.

183
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 3: Is that.

184
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: You know, there's you know, all of us are you know,

185
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: good look and all of us are in shape. But

186
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: but there could even be different degrees of that right there.

187
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: There's you know, sometimes I'm i feel like I'm in

188
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 4: good shape and I'm standing next to someone that's sticks

189
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: for two fifty you know, twenty eight ads, I'm like, ah,

190
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 4: but what matters more?

191
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: Than that your your actual size, your actual stature, or

192
00:08:59,400 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: you know.

193
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of women and people that

194
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: come to our show, you know, of course they're here

195
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: for fit guys, but they care more about having fun

196
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: in the experience than than you absolutely having every tiny

197
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: little thing perfect. And when you when you buy them,

198
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: when you have fun, when you when you let it

199
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 4: loose and and you know you're able to enjoy the moment,

200
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: able to enjoy yourself, able to enjoy your own body

201
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: in a in a fond and comfortable way, right then

202
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 4: that's when the audience, that's when the.

203
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 3: Women, the customers, everyone at our.

204
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 4: Show has the most fun. And that's exactly what those

205
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: guys did, which was go out there. I think a

206
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 4: lot of people would rather when they're having when they

207
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 4: get a dance from someone, whether it's at a professional

208
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: show or it's just you know, your partner in your

209
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: room and you're you're having a good time, I think

210
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: you'd rather have them be in the moment than have

211
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: every tiny thing be quote unquote perfect.

212
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: So that's what those guys did.

213
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: They're they're dancing, they're they're living their bodies, they were

214
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 4: shaking things, they were sharing their joy with with the

215
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 4: rest of us, and that's absolutely the core principle that

216
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: makes it good.

217
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's right.

218
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: I know.

219
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: Also, this whole date supported stand Up to Cancer, and

220
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: so I'm sure that also helped everybody go, hey, I'm

221
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: just gonna let this thing loose because it's for a

222
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: good cause and it's a really fun experience.

223
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: Right.

224
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: I have some rapid fire questions for you that were

225
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: not given to me by anybody. They're off the top

226
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: of my head. It's more out of curiosity. Do you

227
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: mind if I spend the next few moments and just

228
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: shoot them your way? Fire away, my friends, How in

229
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: the world do you end up being a chippendale dancer?

230
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 2: I never got asked because I am not the six

231
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: foot I am six foot four. I am not the

232
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 2: twenty eight abs type of guy. So I was never,

233
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: you know, recruited, But I'm very curious.

234
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: Yes, very long story short.

235
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: My entire I'm Vegas Wan and raised my entire family,

236
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 4: Uh were performers out here in Vegas.

237
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 3: My mom, when she retired, became a dance teacher.

238
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 4: So I grew up in the dance studio La Tap

239
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: Jazz Musical, theed I'm trained in all that since I

240
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 4: was twelve. I did sell and dance shows until I

241
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 4: was twenty eight, and I was doing a swim dance

242
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: show at a different hotel in Las Vegas and someone

243
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: from Shipp and Dale's just by happen Stance saw that show. Uh,

244
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: they wanted to recruit more trained dancers, and they were

245
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 4: trying to get more you know, uh, conditioned choreography into

246
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 4: the show, and so they found me there they asked

247
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: me to come over. Those two jobs were those two

248
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 4: shows were at different time, so I was able to

249
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: do both. Started at part time, fell in love real fast,

250
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: and I've been here for a decade now.

251
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: How many nights a week do you perform siks? Six

252
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: nights a week? How do you keep your body from

253
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: feeling every single injury that exists in your life if

254
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: you perform six days a week.

255
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 4: It's all the simple answers, you know, stretch, uh, work

256
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: out and healthy diet. You know it's it's you know

257
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: then the diet is not just for your for your

258
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 4: abs and for your gut. It's you know, you're you're

259
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 4: joints and your muscles. Thank you when you're eating well too.

260
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: You mentioned something that I think our listeners can gain

261
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: a lot of wisdom from, and that is to be

262
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: in the moment and to you know, just have fun

263
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: or you said joy, to experience that joy.

264
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 3: I'm sure you have bad days, we all do.

265
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: How do you if you're doing this six nights a

266
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: week after a bad day, prepare yourself to go out

267
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: on that stage and perform so that the people watching

268
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: enjoy it and that you are experiencing some joy.

269
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: Well, the good news is is my favorite place in

270
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: the world is on the stage, and and particularly that stage.

271
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: So it's usually the other way around. If I'm having

272
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: a bad day, I'm looking forward to it because that's

273
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 4: the remedy for me. That's you know, it makes me present,

274
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 4: you know, it puts me in the moment. It just

275
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: look out there and see smiling tastes. I'm sure there's

276
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: some form of ego involved in this where yeah, all right,

277
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: people are cheering for the stage, and that of course

278
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 4: feels good. But it really does warm me up to

279
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: look out there and to see you know, however, many

280
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty people, two hundred people really forgetting

281
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 4: about their their bad day, right, or forgetting about the

282
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: all the craziness in the world right now, and they're

283
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: just present as well, so there's not a lot of prep.

284
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: It's usually I'm looking forward to being like, all right, I.

285
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 4: Am lucky enough to have an able body that I

286
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: get to use, and for some reason, all these people

287
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: care and then we get to have fun together for

288
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 4: an hour and a half.

289
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite questions. But this is your

290
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: you know where you said your remedy, it is your focus,

291
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: it is your profession. We got to see it highlighted

292
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: on The Golden Bachelor at when somebody comes to your show,

293
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: what do you hope they leave feeling, thinking, experiencing.

294
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: I hope they feeling better, you know, even if it's

295
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: just a little bit. I hope they have fun. Both

296
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: sides have fun. Yeah, no, but but it is that simple, right.

297
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: I've seen, you know, families come in love with like

298
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: mother and daughter come or grandmother mother daughter. I've seen that.

299
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: Combination and they have both family bonding time. I see

300
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: quite often people who come either solo or groups of

301
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: two will make friends with other groups and they literally

302
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 4: walk out of there with new people that they've they've

303
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: met in the show, and oh my god, we're all

304
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 4: going to a drace together. We had so much fun

305
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 4: at the show. You know, it's one of the clothes

306
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: here in Vegas. So yeah, I I you know, moments

307
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: like that are the ones I treasure.

308
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: So I just, you know, I hope you know.

309
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: I don't know, the world is crazy and we all

310
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: got first battles going on, and I don't know how

311
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: to fix all that, but I do know that I

312
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: can create a little bit of light. So I hope

313
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 4: that that people get fun and joy and peace for

314
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 4: just a little bit.

315
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: The final question for you is you mentioned your wife

316
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: that you're married. Does she come to your show? And

317
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: when she does, because I'm assuming she does, I guess

318
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: if she does, that's even more of a curious response.

319
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: What is her typical like response when she sees you

320
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: up there doing your thing.

321
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: So I'm really like dropping the W bomb hard right

322
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: now because I got married two weeks ago, so let's go.

323
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you very much. No, she's the best, and

324
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: that's why we're married.

325
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

326
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: So she she's a current nurse, but a former performer herself.

327
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: She did a few Las Vegas shows out here as well,

328
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: so she very much understands the world, understands the industry.

329
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: She might be the most supportive human that has ever existed,

330
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: and that, yeah, she'll come to the show. I mean,

331
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 4: it's it comes in waves. But you know, when she's

332
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: she's very proud of it. I'm very honored that she's

333
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: very proud of it. So she has friends or family

334
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: in town, she'll she'll pop by the show. She also

335
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: it's very fun for me that I'm very close to

336
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: my management team, and my management team very much loves her.

337
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 4: The guys love her too, but but it's especially that

338
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: the managers. You know, when she comes in to see

339
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: my bosses light up and give her a big hug,

340
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 4: and you know, they'll a.

341
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: Lot of times she'll watch the show in the back

342
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: of the room.

343
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: You know, the bosses are there every night making sure

344
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: everything's going according to plan, and she'll be back there

345
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: with them just just cut it up. And so it's

346
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: a really joyous experience to have her there because it's

347
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: you know, I very much understand that this is it

348
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: could potentially be you know, a landmine of a of

349
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 4: a job for a relationship, and you know, I think

350
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 4: the successful relationships I've seen in the show, it really

351
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 4: goes both ways. You have really understanding partners and then

352
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 4: you know, being in the show having you know, making

353
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 4: sure that she feels loved and supported and taking care

354
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 4: of him that you know, if I'm creating an atmosphere

355
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 4: where the show isn't an issue, then that makes it

356
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 4: easier as well.

357
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: Congrats on the marriage, Ryan, that's an awesome step, awesome deal,

358
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,840

359
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: like that. It's just it makes life so much more fun.
