1
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Hello, once again, It's Danielle Fischel, a podcaster, TV director

2
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: and mom of two, but forever yelled at in airports

3
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: as Topanga. Currently, I am competing on Dancing with the Stars,

4
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: part of a grueling process pushing myself to the limit.

5
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: Yet somehow don't ask how this is possible. I'm having

6
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: the time of my life and throughout the journey I

7
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: am going to keep you informed on everything thanks to

8
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: this podcast, Danielle with the Stars. I have one goal

9
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: in mind to forever be referred to as a mirror

10
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: ball champion. So I am just off the press line.

11
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: For week three, it was ticked Talk Week, which is

12
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: a brand new theme for the show. They've never done

13
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: that before. I did the foxtrot to Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild,

14
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: so TikTok Week was a little confusing to me. At first,

15
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: I was like, do all of our dances have to

16
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: involve TikTok trends or TikTok dances? Because I do not

17
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: consider myself to be a TikTok dancer. That's not usually

18
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: where I get my bread buttered, if that makes sense.

19
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: So I was a little nervous about that, and then

20
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: once I kind of had the understanding that the song

21
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: choice had to be something that had been viral on TikTok,

22
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: and if the couples wanted, they could incorporate TikTok dances

23
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: into their choreography. Pasha and I tend to be a

24
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: little more I guess you would say, like rule followers.

25
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Even though the rules were taken off for this week

26
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: and we were allowed to incorporate TikTok dances, both of

27
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: us felt kind of against doing it. We really wanted

28
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: to do a proper foxtrot to a fantastic song Manchild,

29
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: which is like one of my favorites. From the moment

30
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: I heard it, it has been played on my Spotify

31
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again, and the

32
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: minute I played it for Pasha, because one of the

33
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: first things I said to him when I started this

34
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: process was I wanted dance to a Sabrina Carpenter song.

35
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: Manchild was the first one I played for him, and

36
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: the second it started, he said, this is a perfect

37
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: foxtrot and I said, great, then let's not even try

38
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: to mess with something else. Let's just go with that.

39
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: So he actually said that he had a very easy

40
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: time this week choreographing the dance because he said, the

41
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: musical nuances, the way Sabrina sings, all of the fun

42
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: little moment, he said, everything about it was perfect for

43
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: a foxtrot. So it was actually an easy process for him,

44
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: and it made it easy for me to learn. Everything

45
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: just felt very natural. Obviously, being able to listen to

46
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: a song I'm obsessed with over and over and over

47
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: again throughout the week also is a nice little pick

48
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: me up because if you're dancing to something that you're

49
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: not really that fond of, well you better get fond

50
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: of it because you're going to be hearing it over

51
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: and over and over again. Being able to dance to

52
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: sabrina song for me was very special. I asked Sabrina

53
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: very early on when I knew I was doing Dancing

54
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: with the Stars, I said, would you let me dance

55
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: to one of your songs? And she was so incredibly

56
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: supportive right from the very beginning, she was like what.

57
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: Of course, she cleared it right away for us, and

58
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: then when she made me that video that I got

59
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: to play for Pasha was so touching, and right away

60
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: I opened up the video and I saw that, of

61
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: course it's shot beautifully in black and white film noir

62
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: and she looks stunningly gorgeous because she is stunningly gorgeous,

63
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: and she just left me such a sweet, heartwarming message.

64
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: And then I finished the press line and I came

65
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: in here to do this podcast, and I have this

66
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: beautiful bouquet of flowers and I was like, who set

67
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: me flowers? They're from Sabrina. It's so sweet. I uh.

68
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: She said, I can't wait to see you dance to Manchild.

69
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: And then she said, you are not stupid, useless, or slow.

70
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: I love you and I am so immensely proud of you.

71
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: Love Sabrina. They're beautiful. They you guys can't smell these,

72
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: but they smell so good. I mean, these are really

73
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: really stunning. So anyway, thank you Sabrina. You really made

74
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: my week. And I'm just so happy that you allowed

75
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: me to do it. And I hope that I didn't

76
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: make you proud. So TikTok Week it was great. A

77
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: lot of the other dancers did incorporate TikTok dances into

78
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: their performances. The performances I thought were all incredible. I

79
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: have now gone early in the show order twice in

80
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: a row. Last time I went second, this time I

81
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: went third. Third is a real sweet spot. I think

82
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: maybe third could only be topped by fourth or fifth

83
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: somewhere in those first five when you are a group

84
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: of twelve is great because you get to watch one

85
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: performance and then you get whisked away, and now it's

86
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: time for you to warm up, and you make sure

87
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: you're locked in with your partner and you're practicing kind

88
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: of your last minute stuff, going over anything that's maybe

89
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: been bumping you or reminding yourself of something you want

90
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: to do, Like in my case, I really wanted to

91
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: keep my shoulders down, So Pasha and I went out

92
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: there and we had like seven minutes before it was

93
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: time for us to be back on stage, and we

94
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: just worked on some of those things like shoulders down.

95
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: He would remind me right before we did the foxtrot

96
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: part or before I did the grape vine, and you

97
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: you kind of get to do all of that. So

98
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: I love going early. But then the best part is

99
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: after you're done, you just get to watch and enjoy

100
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: all of the other performances and it feels like you're

101
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: at a really fun concert where a concert where every

102
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: person performing is also your friend. That you're rooting for,

103
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: and it's just it's the greatest, it's the greatest experience.

104
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Tonight had the not so great experience, which comes at

105
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: the very end of the night when somebody has to

106
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: go home. And you know, last week when we had

107
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: a double elimination, it was the first week, Pasha and

108
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: I were the first people called to be safe. So

109
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: even though I was nervous about who was going to

110
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: go home and I had nerves for all of my

111
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: friends that were still out there, the pressure was off

112
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: for me right off the bat. This time we were

113
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: one of the last. I think we were the last

114
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: couple called safe, and that was nerve racking, Like when

115
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: that light is on, that red light is on and

116
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: they're taking those long dramatic pauses that make for great television,

117
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: but terrible for your nerves. Yeah, we were very nervous,

118
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: and that hug that Pasha and I gave each other,

119
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: slapped each other on the back like we were football bros,

120
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: was like the most earnest reaction. We were so happy

121
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: to be safe. And then we all ran off to

122
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: the side and I was looking at the three couples

123
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: that were in the bottom three, and I couldn't believe

124
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: that one of those couples was going to be going home.

125
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: This is not hyperbole. If you had said, Danielle, you

126
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 1: will win a million dollars if you correctly guess who's

127
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: going home tonight, there is a zero percent chance I

128
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: would have even won a dollar. I never ever suspected

129
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: that Lauren was going home, and I'm bummed about it.

130
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: I really love Lauren. I love watching her perform. She

131
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: has got just so I mean, first of all, her

132
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: face is just a work of art, and she's expressive,

133
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: and she is graceful, and she's fun and she's all

134
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: those things as a person too. And I've really enjoyed

135
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: the moments that we've passed each other in the halls

136
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: and been able to give each other a hug and

137
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: have been rooting for each other. And we were in

138
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: hair and makeup today at the same time and talking

139
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: about how beautiful we thought each other's makeup looked, and like, wow,

140
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: look how beautiful your makeup looks. And it's just it's

141
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: it's really very shocking, and it's hard. It's hard because

142
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: tomorrow I want to show back up at work tomorrow

143
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: and I want to see Lauren's face, and there's nobody's

144
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: face I don't want to see, but I really want

145
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: to see Lauren's. So I'm very sad that she went

146
00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: home tonight. Rehearsals this week were great for one thing.

147
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: The foxtrot is quite a departure from the cha chaw,

148
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: so what is remaining of my hamstring injury really got

149
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: a break this week. Try as I might, Pasha refuse

150
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: to put cartwheels into our foxtrot, so no splits, no cartwheels.

151
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: I just got to glide around the floor, and my

152
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: leg is ninety percent better. Of course, I still have

153
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: a Grade three tear that is not going to necessarily

154
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: heal on its own, but the swelling is significantly down,

155
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: the bruising is significantly down, and I feel overall like

156
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm back to operating almost as if I had no injury.

157
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm a little tight, like I can definitely tell where

158
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: that injury is. I'm not as flexible as I once was,

159
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: but I'm still in pt, still taking you know, using

160
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: compression leggings, and I'm elevating every night, and I'm using

161
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: contrast therapy, so alternating ice and heat. I'm doing all

162
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: the things you can do to get better, and I'm

163
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: feeling so much better now, which is such a blessing.

164
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: Tonight I got three sevens triple seven baby like a

165
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: slat machine. So excited about that. Definitely my highest score

166
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: up to this point. My number one goal going into

167
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: this week was that Bruno was going to see my

168
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: shoulders down and was going to say something about me

169
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: listening to him. And then when he said that he

170
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: could tell that I was a good student, I the

171
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: tapanga in me just lit right on up. Yep, that's right.

172
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: Your girl likes straight a's uh. So I was really

173
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: happy that I accomplished my number one goal. And then

174
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: I think it is the biggest compliment the judges can

175
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: give you when they very specifically give you a note,

176
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: because to me, it says they believe you're capable of it,

177
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: and they believe that you're working hard enough that you're

178
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: actually going to try to implement it, that they're not

179
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: just talking to a wall. They can really give you something.

180
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: They want to see you improve, and I feel that

181
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: from them. I feel that from them when they judge others.

182
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: I feel that from them when they judge me, I

183
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: am here to learn. They obviously have so much expertise

184
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: and so much knowledge, and between Pasha, the three of them,

185
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: Julianne and Alfonso, I feel like I'm in a perfect

186
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: situation to just be a sponge every second I can

187
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: and just absorb all of their knowledge, take all of

188
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: their notes, and Pasha and I keep a record of it.

189
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: Like we got those notes today, we got our scores,

190
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: and we looked at each other and we immediately started

191
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: talking about next week. How are we going to implement

192
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: what Derek said, How are we going to implement what

193
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Carrie Anne said? How are we going to make next

194
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: week's dance better and stronger so that they continue to

195
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: see a trajectory that I am on, which is just

196
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: getting better every week. That's my goal. I didn't come

197
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: in here an a plus dancer. I didn't even come

198
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: in here a C plus dancer. But my goal is

199
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: that every week I get better. And so maybe by

200
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: the time this process is over, I can look back

201
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: and be like, I cannot believe that this is where

202
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: I started and this is where I ended, and I

203
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: hope that the end is nowhere near insight. Next week

204
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: is Disney Week. I'm very excited about Disney Week. I

205
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: grew up in your Belinda, California, which is fifteen to

206
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: twenty minutes away from Anaheim. My grandfather lived in Anaheim.

207
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Both my parents were raised in Anaheim, California, and I

208
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: grew up watching the Disneyland fireworks from my grandfather's driveway,

209
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: and it's a plus that has always been special to me.

210
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: I have endless childhood memories of being at Disneyland, and

211
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm just super excited for next week. We get to

212
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: go visit the park on Thursday, October second, we get

213
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: to go on a ride, we get to eat some food.

214
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: We're shooting what they call our heart to heart interviews,

215
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: which is the interviews you do immediately after your last performance.

216
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to kind of recapping the dance

217
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: with Pasha, seeing what he has in store for this week.

218
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: I can tell you if the foxtrot is slow and graceful,

219
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: what we have planned next week is quick if you

220
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: catch my drift. So I'm a little nervous about it

221
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: because it's a dance that's unlike anything else I've ever done.

222
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: I'm also realizing that as an actor or somebody who

223
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: started my career as an actor, I like to play

224
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: things a lot more subtle. I'm just not as expressive

225
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: as I maybe thought I will. And boy, there's no

226
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: room for subtlety on the ballroom floor, like it's just

227
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: time to go big or go home. And I'm really

228
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: working on that. So that's another area that I'm really

229
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: looking forward to improving. I had such a wonderful group

230
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: of friends in the audience with me. I had three

231
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: of my best girlfriends from junior High. They are girls

232
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: I met when I was twelve years old. They're women now,

233
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: of course. But my girlfriend Jamie Hargreaves, who you know

234
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: as the Forever Fine Jewels Lady. So I'm wearing being

235
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: that we're talking about her, might as well cover this.

236
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm wearing her Marquis diamond ring. Check out this bad

237
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: boy set on an angle, absolutely stellar. I'm also wearing

238
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: two of her earrings over here and three of her

239
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: earrings over here, and they're all called Chubby Chubby Huggies.

240
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: And I alternated between white gold and yellow gold. And

241
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: I am also wearing the most gorgeous watch on loan

242
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: to me from Eric Wind from Wind Vintage. It is

243
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: this white gold and diamond pige watch. I'm gonna have

244
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: to see if I can show it to you. It's

245
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: covered by some feathers. There's Sabrina Carpenter feathers. If you

246
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: will take a look at this, I mean, what what?

247
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: Look at this? Watch? This thing is stunning. So I

248
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: don't own it, obviously it's on loan, but it sure

249
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: is pretty and I love it so much. I felt

250
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: like it perfectly fit the elegant vibe of this dance

251
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: and this night for me. So Jamie Hargreave's one of

252
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: my best friends since I was twelve. She was here.

253
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: Jen Kaminski one of my best friends since I was twelve.

254
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: She was here. Jamie Leff my best friend since I

255
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: was twelve. These are girls I have met. I literally

256
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: met on like the first day of sixth grade. Now

257
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: they are only three of my girlfriends from that time

258
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm still friends with, like twelve, we are a big group. Unfortunately,

259
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: they still only give me six tickets to this tape night.

260
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty difficult to keep it to only six. So

261
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: my three bestest girlfriends from junior high were here tonight,

262
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: and then my husband, of course, who hasn't missed a

263
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: show today. I forgot my shoes, I left my fox

264
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: trot shoes in my car and they drove me here

265
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: to work. They send a very beautiful car to drive

266
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: me here on tape day, and I left my shoes

267
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: in the car. What did Jensen do. Jensen said, I'm

268
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: on my way be there in thirty eight minutes, and

269
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: he hopped in the car and he delivered my fox

270
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: trot shoes to me. So my husband, the biggest support,

271
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: couldn't do any of this without him. Means the world

272
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: to me. He's not missed a show. He was here tonight.

273
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: And then my very very very good friend CM Punk

274
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: wrestler extraordinary, maybe one of the biggest wrestling superstars in

275
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: the history of the world, came to watch me dance

276
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: in the ballroom like that really means so much to me.

277
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: So Ciampunk was there. My dear friend Lauren Lapkiz, she

278
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: was here tonight Arden Marin, she came with Lauren Incredible.

279
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: George freaking Lopez was in the house for me tonight.

280
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: Mayan Lopez was in the house for me tonight, which

281
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: means the world to me because I love them, adore them,

282
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: directed their television show several episodes. I just George and

283
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: I have such a great bond. Mayan and I are

284
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: such good friends, and Mayan is a very big Sabrina

285
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: Carpenter fan, so I was very excited that they got

286
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: to be here for that as well. Also, my dear

287
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: friend w Wolf showrunner from Lopez versus Lopez, who's become

288
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: one of my nearest and dearest love her, she was there.

289
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 1: She brought her friend and another showrunner I have directed for,

290
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: Jessica Kaminski, who did was the showrunner for Pretty Freaking Scary,

291
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: So they were here as well. It was quite a

292
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: star studded night. Now you may be thinking, well, that's

293
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: more than six people. Here's a little trick. You get

294
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: six friends and family that means non fames, non famous people.

295
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: But then if you've got friends and family who were famous,

296
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: those don't count toward your total. Ah, there's a loophole.

297
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: So unfortunately for all my non famous friends, you have

298
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: to fight and to the claw to the death for

299
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: those six tickets. But if you're famous, you're welcome to

300
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: come anytime you want. That's just the way the Dancing

301
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: with the Stars production works. So anyway, it was really

302
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: great to have all of those people in the audience

303
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: for me. Oh I can't even believe this. Also, my

304
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: friend Amanda di Piazza, Dear, dear, dear friend, my friend

305
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: Hillary Zwick Turner also here. Guess how they got tickets

306
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: by submitting online asking for tickets, and they they got tickets.

307
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: They acted as though they were fans because they know

308
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: how hard it is for me to give part of

309
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: my six tickets away. So they just showed up like

310
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: what what kind of lovely, wonderful, supportive people do I

311
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: have around me who are willing to do that. Also,

312
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: dear friends and listeners of pod Meats World who have

313
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: come to pod Meets World live shows, they also submitted

314
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: online and tried to get tickets and got them. They

315
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: had to fly from out of town. They don't even

316
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: live in the state. They flew in to come to

317
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: the show to support me. So, when I tell you

318
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: that the amount of love and support I have felt

319
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: from the time I started this process, when I tell

320
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: you that it is through the roof, that is the

321
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: understatement of the year is it has just been absolutely incredible,

322
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: and I hope it doesn't stop. I appreciate all of you.

323
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for all of your comments. You guys are

324
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,480

Speaker 1: going to ABC dot com. It really means the world

330
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: Without you, guys, we just go home, so we need you.

331
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. My dress tonight is very Cinderella

332
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: Codd and I love it so much. It's a little

333
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: funny that I feel like such a Disney princess this

334
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: week when Disney Week is next week. But I'm also

335
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: another thing. I love anytime you can separate yourself from

336
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: the pack and be a little bit different. I thought,

337
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: if there's ever a week that I want to go

338
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: old Hollywood glamour Sabrina Carpenter vibe, it's something like TikTok Week,

339
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: which is not what you're generally gonna think of. You're

340
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: not going to think of old Hollywood glames when you

341
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: hear TikTok. So I wanted to separate myself maybe from

342
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: some of the things other people were doing, and I'm

343
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: so happy I did. We chose a very old school,

344
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: glamorous soft wave look. We did a red lip which

345
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: we actually mixed with quite a bit of brown. It's

346
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: gone now. I've just eaten my lipstick off my face

347
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: because one I'm hungry and two it's been a long time.

348
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: But I absolutely love this look. I'm obsessed with this stress.

349
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: I love the feathers. All of our inspo pages were

350
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: all Sabrina. It was Sabrina in her baby blue Sabrina

351
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: and her feathers, Sabrina with her gorgeous blowout and her curls,

352
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: and so we just tried to emulate as much of

353
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: her glamour as we possibly could. I am sure they

354
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: had to show her on TV, because yeah, like how

355
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: could they not. Chris jen Or was in the audience.

356
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: What if I slipped and fell on my face in

357
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: front of Chris Jenner. I'm so glad that did not happen.

358
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: She was sitting next to Alec Baldwin right in the

359
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: front row in the center, and everyone up in the

360
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: skybox was like, I can't believe we're just in the

361
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: same room with Chris Jenner. Like Jordan Chiles looked at

362
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: me and she goes, I can't believe that's just Chris Jenner.

363
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: Just sitting right there, like, what are we doing up here?

364
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Just Chris Jenner down there, and I was like, I know,

365
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and let me tell you, face looking beautiful,

366
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean really stunning, Like gosh. The only thing that

367
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: could have made the night better was if Chris had

368
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: looked right at me and said, you're doing amazing, sweetie.

369
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: That's really all I wanted, but probably won't ever get

370
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: that again. Anyway, it was a really wonderful night. Definitely

371
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: still sad about Lauren. Really shocked like it just I mean,

372
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: she has great scores. It's not even like she's been

373
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: in the bottom score wise, so it just really goes

374
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: to show you how important votes are, because the only

375
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: thing I can figure is that somehow she didn't have

376
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: enough votes, and I mean shocking, truly a shocking night.

377
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe we get to do it again. I

378
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: live to see I dance to see another week Disney Week.

379
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: Really looking forward to it. I also have something so

380
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: cute I'm gonna wear. I can't wait to show you guys.

381
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: I am very if you haven't noticed, I'm very obsessed

382
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: with all things vintage. I love vintage bags and vintage

383
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: clothes and vintage watches and vintage everything. I had a

384
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: sheet from the song that we're doing. It's actually from

385
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: the movie that we're doing. I had a vintage sheet.

386
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: I follow this wonderful woman named Kelsey and she is

387
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: on Instagram at rope Drop Design and she up cycles.

388
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know about upcycling, but she

389
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: takes vintage pieces and she turns them into something new.

390
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: And she makes bows, and she makes dresses, and she

391
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: makes sets, and she makes puffer jackets, and she makes

392
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: Disney ears and she does these exclusive drops and they

393
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: almost always sell out. I have tried to get pieces

394
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: from her for I can't even tell you how long.

395
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: And if you are not on there the second her

396
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: drop opens and you don't immediately check out, you've missed out.

397
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: The only thing I've ever been lucky enough to get

398
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: was a hair bow. And then when Disney Week came

399
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: around and I'm very excited about the song that I'm doing,

400
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: and I knew that I had a sheet, a vintage

401
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: sheet that was perfect for it. I sent her a

402
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: direct message and I was like, let's see if I

403
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: could use some of this Dancing with the Stars glamour

404
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: to see if she could make me a piece, and

405
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: she made me the most adorable dress that I'm going

406
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: to wear for our Heart to Heart at Disneyland. I've

407
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: showed a picture of it to Pasha, but he hasn't

408
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: seen it in person yet. It's just going to be amazing.

409
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: I think Kelsey's also going to meet me at Disneyland,

410
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: so I'm going to get to introduce her to all

411
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: of you as well via social media. But very excited.

412
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: So special thank you to Kelsey for my next week's
