<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Almost Famous podcast.

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 3>Hey man, happy to be here.

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Ryan. So many questions for you, but let's start with

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about this show. The show in general. It feels

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 2>like a new kind of theme of the Bachelor franchise

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 2>where they're bringing in, uh Chippendale to teach men how

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 2>to dance. How do you hear about the call? And

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 2>why do you agree to come on to this crazy show.

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we've been developing a relationship with the Golden Bachelor

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 4>that throughout this year that we've really enjoyed. Yeah, I

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 4>know a few of the guys. Before I'd done this

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 4>particular episode, a few of the guys had flown out

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 4>to do a few others, been to New York and

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 4>a few other places. So my I'm the dance captain

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 4>for the show. I've been with the show for over

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 4>a decade now, and my job is to teach and

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 4>organize the show. So anyone knew that's coming in, Let's

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 4>say anyone from you know, just a new hire, to

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.119
<v Speaker 4>one of our celebrity guests like Vinty G from Jersey Shore.

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 4>When these guys come in and need to learn the shows,

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 4>my job to teach them. And then it's my job

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 4>to organize who's in what spot for the night where

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 4>everyone goes.

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Make sure that what's running into each other, make sure

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 3>all the tracks are covered.

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 4>So when the old Bachelor came and they're like, hey,

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 4>we we want to work with the Chip and Nails

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 4>and work with you guys and have a few of

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 4>our guys, you know, get coached up. That's kind of

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 4>my role in the show anyway, And I was I

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 4>was really excited to take a call and say yes.

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>So it does it change anything for you when you hear, hey,

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.559
<v Speaker 2>these guys are all going to be sixty plus or

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>is it the same kind of strategy if you had

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>a celebrity guest.

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 4>Come on, Yeah, it's the same kind of strategy. It's

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 4>it's usually age is less much less of a fact

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 4>than you know, how familiar you are with movement and

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 4>how familiar you are with your own body and how

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 4>to get around and what your arm's doing while your

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.679
<v Speaker 4>legs doing something, while your head's doing something. So it's

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 4>more kind of getting familiar with people and how much

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 4>they know their body rather than if they're twenty or

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.399
<v Speaker 4>forty or sixty either.

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:39.920
<v Speaker 2>So if you were a critic, what, how do you

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 2>feel like these men knew their body going into it?

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Good? Good?

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, I'd say age always helps that you know

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 4>a little more. The more time you have in it,

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 4>the more you know about it, good, the good end,

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 4>the bad.

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 4>That can include like, ah, these not going well today,

0:02:56.040 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 4>or you know it's going to rain, but yeah, no, no,

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 4>these those guys are great man, and uh you know,

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 4>and and different levels you know within that, but I

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, I tend to find and I don't know

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 4>the story of all these guys, but especially anyone that

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 4>used to be like a former athlete, like if anyone

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 4>played football or hockey or even like MMA or stuff

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 4>like that, they tend to just carry a body awareness

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 4>with them.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:23.360
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 4>It's it's if you're you know, even just in college

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 4>for a couple of years played defensive back. You know,

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 4>you're learning to turn your hips and run and move

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 4>and put your hands up or you know, definitely any

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 4>sort of you know, karate, jiu jitsu, any of that stuff,

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 4>any fighting. You know, you are learning how to use

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 4>your body in multiple ways at once, and I can

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 4>get I can get a lot of dance moves out

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 4>of that.

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 3>It was.

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 2>It was impressive to I think the audience.

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I talked to a Bachelor producer today that

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>said that this date was their favorite group date they've

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>ever shot, that it was the most fun. And I

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>felt like, as a fan now of the show, when

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I watched it, it was joy filled. There was a

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun, a lot of commitment. And then I

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 2>was also impressed that every one of these guys, at

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 2>least from what we saw, just dove into this. Is

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>that what you experienced while you were filming it?

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that was.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 4>It was a really fun process because of that. And

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 4>I think you're gonna hit the nail on the head

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 4>there that I've taught for a long time, I've been

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 4>not only dance captain here for a long time. I've

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 4>been dance captain to the other non review shows, like more

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 4>traditional song.

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:36.919
<v Speaker 3>And dance shows.

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 4>I've taught a lot of dance to a lot of people,

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 4>and I can do it.

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 3>I know what I'm doing. The one thing I cannot.

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 4>Teach and cannot put in someone is the ability to

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.359
<v Speaker 4>buy in and the ability to care right, So, you know,

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 4>having someone be braver, especially you know, it's think of

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 4>any skill you've tried that was out of your comfort

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 4>zone or a new skill, especially in front of people,

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 4>in front of people you're friends with, competing against, in

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 4>front of you know, these cameras that are going.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 3>To be someone that's famillions of people.

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 4>It can be scary. It can be scary to jump in.

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 4>It can be scary by yourself alone with all that

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.919
<v Speaker 4>other stuff going on. So these guys were just headfirst

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 4>into the deep, into the pool. And that's that's the

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 4>one thing I can't teach. And that's what makes it fun.

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 4>That's what actually helps people learn quicker and get into

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 4>it quicker is the ones that are like, all right,

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 4>we're doing this.

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 3>And every single one of those gentlemen had that, So

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 3>that was very fun.

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything that we didn't see? I'm assuming you

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 2>saw last night's episode. If you didn't, that's okay, But

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>is there anything that wasn't shown that happened during this

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>whole day that you were like, gosh, I wish that

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 2>would have been shown or that really kind of was

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>a good memorable moment for you.

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, full disclosure, I have not seen the episode yet.

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 4>So we did have a Chipendale show last night while

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 4>it was airing, and uh, I just came out afterwards,

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 4>spent a whole time with my wife and I haven't

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 4>gotten to it yet. But uh, but yeah, I I

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 4>there wasn't from my experience on the show, I don't know,

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm sure a couple of things on the

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.799
<v Speaker 4>cuategy floor, but I don't think that because there wasn't

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 4>like multiple locations or multiple sections of this like you know,

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 4>especially compared to other TV that I've done, it seemed

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 4>pretty uh pretty honest as far as you know, I

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 4>almost didn't totally know in the best way.

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I didn't totally know what to expect what was going

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 3>to go on. You know. They taught me like, hey,

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 3>these gonna be the guys. We want to teach them

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 3>a couple of moves.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Even when I asked for framework of like well, do

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 4>you want like a B and C or D E

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 4>enough like you do.

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 3>You have fun with it?

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, once the the guys came in, even the

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 4>the little intro number that you know, the three classic

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 4>guys did and then the three current guys. Did you know,

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 4>we we set that on the spot because I didn't

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 4>know what to Say's just gonna be like with the room.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 4>It's going to be like sometimes if you choreograph something

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 4>too much in advance, you get there, the room is

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 4>different in the time stiff, you got to redo it anyway,

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 4>So you know, the six of us all work together

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 4>and just set that up on the spot. And then

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 4>when the guys came in and you know, I honestly

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.239
<v Speaker 4>met them, and then you know, there's three cameras around

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 4>the room and they were like, all right, go, So

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 4>I assume what what was showed on TV is uh,

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, pretty pretty straightforward of what we actually did,

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 4>which was just come in and meet the guys.

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's having fun, shake hands, start learning.

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 4>A couple of moves, do a little warm up, learning

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 4>video team, and then uh, you know, we took like

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 4>an hour or two when they all got into their

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 4>costumes and then we had to come out as honest,

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 4>honest fans there and sit in the audience and watch

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 4>it go down.

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Was there anybody that surprised or impressed you? I mean,

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>for me, I look back, I think one, it was

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 2>awesome to see Charles come out and do what he did.

0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>But also his name's but I call him Goldie. Uh

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>he ripped off his shirt. Let that you know, belly

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>just get shown. It was awesome. It was just such

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 2>a fun moment. Was there anybody else that like surprised

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you as you watched it bat or as you were

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 2>watching in the audience.

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'll tell you exactly. To surprise me, every single

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 4>one of them. Okay, awesome and not to get like

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 4>a much of a cliche diplomatic answer, but no, the

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 4>the amount of buy in from all the guys, because

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 4>it's it's that's something you learned pretty fast doing our show.

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Is that.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's you know, all of us are you know,

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 4>good look and all of us are in shape. But

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 4>but there could even be different degrees of that right there.

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 4>There's you know, sometimes I'm i feel like I'm in

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.199
<v Speaker 4>good shape and I'm standing next to someone that's sticks

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 4>for two fifty you know, twenty eight ads, I'm like, ah,

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.199
<v Speaker 4>but what matters more?

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Than that your your actual size, your actual stature, or

0:08:59.400 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.079
<v Speaker 4>I feel like a lot of women and people that

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 4>come to our show, you know, of course they're here

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 4>for fit guys, but they care more about having fun

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 4>in the experience than than you absolutely having every tiny

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 4>little thing perfect. And when you when you buy them,

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 4>when you have fun, when you when you let it

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 4>loose and and you know you're able to enjoy the moment,

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 4>able to enjoy yourself, able to enjoy your own body

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 4>in a in a fond and comfortable way, right then

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 4>that's when the audience, that's when the.

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Women, the customers, everyone at our.

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Show has the most fun. And that's exactly what those

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 4>guys did, which was go out there. I think a

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 4>lot of people would rather when they're having when they

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 4>get a dance from someone, whether it's at a professional

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 4>show or it's just you know, your partner in your

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 4>room and you're you're having a good time, I think

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 4>you'd rather have them be in the moment than have

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 4>every tiny thing be quote unquote perfect.

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 3>So that's what those guys did.

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 4>They're they're dancing, they're they're living their bodies, they were

0:09:55.360 --> 0:10:00.439
<v Speaker 4>shaking things, they were sharing their joy with with the

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.559
<v Speaker 4>rest of us, and that's absolutely the core principle that

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 4>makes it good.

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right, that's right.

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Also, this whole date supported stand Up to Cancer, and

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>so I'm sure that also helped everybody go, hey, I'm

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 2>just gonna let this thing loose because it's for a

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 2>good cause and it's a really fun experience.

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I have some rapid fire questions for you that were

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 2>not given to me by anybody. They're off the top

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.959
<v Speaker 2>of my head. It's more out of curiosity. Do you

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.319
<v Speaker 2>mind if I spend the next few moments and just

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>shoot them your way? Fire away, my friends, How in

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the world do you end up being a chippendale dancer?

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.959
<v Speaker 2>I never got asked because I am not the six

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>foot I am six foot four. I am not the

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight abs type of guy. So I was never,

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, recruited, But I'm very curious.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes, very long story short.

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 4>My entire I'm Vegas Wan and raised my entire family,

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 4>Uh were performers out here in Vegas.

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.559
<v Speaker 3>My mom, when she retired, became a dance teacher.

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 4>So I grew up in the dance studio La Tap

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Jazz Musical, theed I'm trained in all that since I

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 4>was twelve. I did sell and dance shows until I

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.719
<v Speaker 4>was twenty eight, and I was doing a swim dance

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 4>show at a different hotel in Las Vegas and someone

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 4>from Shipp and Dale's just by happen Stance saw that show. Uh,

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 4>they wanted to recruit more trained dancers, and they were

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 4>trying to get more you know, uh, conditioned choreography into

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 4>the show, and so they found me there they asked

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 4>me to come over. Those two jobs were those two

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.719
<v Speaker 4>shows were at different time, so I was able to

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 4>do both. Started at part time, fell in love real fast,

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 4>and I've been here for a decade now.

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 2>How many nights a week do you perform siks? Six

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>nights a week? How do you keep your body from

0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 2>feeling every single injury that exists in your life if

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 2>you perform six days a week.

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 4>It's all the simple answers, you know, stretch, uh, work

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 4>out and healthy diet. You know it's it's you know

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 4>then the diet is not just for your for your

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 4>abs and for your gut. It's you know, you're you're

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 4>joints and your muscles. Thank you when you're eating well too.

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned something that I think our listeners can gain

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot of wisdom from, and that is to be

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 2>in the moment and to you know, just have fun

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>or you said joy, to experience that joy.

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:35.959
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure you have bad days, we all do.

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>How do you if you're doing this six nights a

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 2>week after a bad day, prepare yourself to go out

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>on that stage and perform so that the people watching

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>enjoy it and that you are experiencing some joy.

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, the good news is is my favorite place in

0:12:55.840 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 4>the world is on the stage, and and particularly that stage.

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 4>So it's usually the other way around. If I'm having

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 4>a bad day, I'm looking forward to it because that's

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 4>the remedy for me. That's you know, it makes me present,

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, it puts me in the moment. It just

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 4>look out there and see smiling tastes. I'm sure there's

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 4>some form of ego involved in this where yeah, all right,

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 4>people are cheering for the stage, and that of course

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 4>feels good. But it really does warm me up to

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 4>look out there and to see you know, however, many

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and fifty people, two hundred people really forgetting

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 4>about their their bad day, right, or forgetting about the

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 4>all the craziness in the world right now, and they're

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 4>just present as well, so there's not a lot of prep.

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 3>It's usually I'm looking forward to being like, all right, I.

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Am lucky enough to have an able body that I

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 4>get to use, and for some reason, all these people

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 4>care and then we get to have fun together for

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:53.959
<v Speaker 4>an hour and a half.

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 2>It's one of my favorite questions. But this is your

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 2>you know where you said your remedy, it is your focus,

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>it is your profession. We got to see it highlighted

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 2>on The Golden Bachelor at when somebody comes to your show,

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 2>what do you hope they leave feeling, thinking, experiencing.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I hope they feeling better, you know, even if it's

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 3>just a little bit. I hope they have fun. Both

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 3>sides have fun. Yeah, no, but but it is that simple, right.

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 3>I've seen, you know, families come in love with like

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 3>mother and daughter come or grandmother mother daughter. I've seen that.

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 4>Combination and they have both family bonding time. I see

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 4>quite often people who come either solo or groups of

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 4>two will make friends with other groups and they literally

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 4>walk out of there with new people that they've they've

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 4>met in the show, and oh my god, we're all

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 4>going to a drace together. We had so much fun

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 4>at the show. You know, it's one of the clothes

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 4>here in Vegas. So yeah, I I you know, moments

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 4>like that are the ones I treasure.

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 3>So I just, you know, I hope you know.

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, the world is crazy and we all

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 4>got first battles going on, and I don't know how

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 4>to fix all that, but I do know that I

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 4>can create a little bit of light. So I hope

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 4>that that people get fun and joy and peace for

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 4>just a little bit.

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 2>The final question for you is you mentioned your wife

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 2>that you're married. Does she come to your show? And

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 2>when she does, because I'm assuming she does, I guess

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 2>if she does, that's even more of a curious response.

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>What is her typical like response when she sees you

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 2>up there doing your thing.

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 4>So I'm really like dropping the W bomb hard right

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 4>now because I got married two weeks ago, so let's go.

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thank you very much. No, she's the best, and

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 3>that's why we're married.

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 3>So she she's a current nurse, but a former performer herself.

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 3>She did a few Las Vegas shows out here as well,

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 3>so she very much understands the world, understands the industry.

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 4>She might be the most supportive human that has ever existed,

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 4>and that, yeah, she'll come to the show. I mean,

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 4>it's it comes in waves. But you know, when she's

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 4>she's very proud of it. I'm very honored that she's

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 4>very proud of it. So she has friends or family

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 4>in town, she'll she'll pop by the show. She also

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 4>it's very fun for me that I'm very close to

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 4>my management team, and my management team very much loves her.

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 4>The guys love her too, but but it's especially that

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 4>the managers. You know, when she comes in to see

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 4>my bosses light up and give her a big hug,

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 4>and you know, they'll a.

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Lot of times she'll watch the show in the back

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 3>of the room.

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, the bosses are there every night making sure

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 4>everything's going according to plan, and she'll be back there

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 4>with them just just cut it up. And so it's

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 4>a really joyous experience to have her there because it's

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, I very much understand that this is it

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 4>could potentially be you know, a landmine of a of

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 4>a job for a relationship, and you know, I think

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 4>the successful relationships I've seen in the show, it really

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 4>goes both ways. You have really understanding partners and then

0:16:55.840 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, being in the show having you know, making

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 4>sure that she feels loved and supported and taking care

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.360
<v Speaker 4>of him that you know, if I'm creating an atmosphere

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 4>where the show isn't an issue, then that makes it

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 4>easier as well.

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:13.520

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.840

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.879

<v Speaker 4>Friday and Saturday. Not only did we have the show's performance,

0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.640
<v Speaker 4>there is a meet and greet in our show bar

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.480
<v Speaker 4>after the show every night, so not only can you

<v Speaker 2>ups in a row who's six foot four, doesn't have

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 2>an ab to show, but they're in there somewhere, and

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I can move my body like one of those bullet

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>machines at the car washes, you know, they kind of

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 2>go like that.

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.520
