1
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to pod meets Twirled, the Dancing with the Stars

2
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: recap hosted by two guys who can't dance, don't want

3
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: to dance, and have now seen nine episodes of Dancing

4
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: with the Stars. But since our best friend Danielle joined

5
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: the cast for thirty four, we're going all in. We

6
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: are Wilfred Ell and Ryder Strong aka the two dudes

7
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: standing next to Topanga aka daniel Fishal's backup aka the

8
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: dan Yettes.

9
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Hello Will, Hello Rider.

10
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: How was our first episode with no Danielle?

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: It was fine, you know, it's obviously it's it's lost

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: a bit of its allure.

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: For me.

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: I'm still in on trying to see who's going to win,

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: but I can detach myself from it more. I don't

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: have the same anxiety watching the show. I'm not rooting

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: for it as much as I mean, our friend isn't

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: on it anymore, so it's a little different.

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: I had a little interesting journey. I was not looking

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: forward to this. I was really ready. Yeah, I was

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: just like, you know, are we still doing this? Do

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: I care about the show?

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: And then you started.

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: I think this was my favorite episode of the season.

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: Really well, yeah, wow.

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: First of all, it gave perspective on the rest on

27
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: the history of the show, which was so important for

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: me because I've seen nothing and getting a sense of

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: how deep this and how long this show goes, I

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: was like wow, and I really came to appreciate it.

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: I loved the dances. I loved like getting glimpses of

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the past, past dances and past competitors. I really enjoyed.

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: It was like an education in the history of Dancing

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: with the Stars and I don't know, like yeah, yeah,

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: it gave me a sense of like continuity. It gave

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: me a lot of respect for all the figures of

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: the show, all the judges, like I just I just

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: came to I don't know, you know, it was like

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: a little recap for me. And then I really thought

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: the dancing was incredible this week.

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I liked it. I find and again I

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: understand why they're doing this, especially for the twentieth anniversary,

43
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: but they they really waded into the cheese factor this week.

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 2: I mean, it was heavy on the cheese this week

45
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: of just you know, the past and the people we've lost,

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: and I get it. I mean I understand it, but

47
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: there's a kind of like a self importance to it?

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Where it's like, look what we've

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: done in the history of Dancing with the Stars, And

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: I get it, and I know that it's been hugely important.

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 2: And I loved seeing like young Derek Huff when he

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: started dancing, and then that was incredible, incredible how a

53
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: baby looked like and then seeing them to get into

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: to lens seat all that, Like those journeys were really

55
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: really cool to watch, but it was. But I find

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 2: these same things with a lot of award shows too.

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: It's just it's very melodramatic a lot of times for

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: really not much reason.

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: But see, I like that. I guess I like the

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: cheese because here's the thing. None of this matters, right,

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: just like the Oscars. None of this matters. Actually, what

62
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: we're talking about is a seemingly meaningless thing art, Like

63
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't dance. It is not going to

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: change the world in so many ways. So I find

65
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: it really nice when show business leans into its importance

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: and says like, hey, actually this is big, a big deal.

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: These are human beings going through this, it matters. I

68
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: like that because I feel that often and I feel

69
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: like Hollywood is superficial and gets this rep for being just.

70
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: But it takes so much work to do these things.

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: It's so much energy. It does take people dedicating their

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: lives to being a host on some random TV show

73
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: that we're all watching that's getting huge ratings. So I

74
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: tend to go the opposite. I'm like, because it's so meaningless.

75
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: There's a need to say, hey, actually, you've been on

76
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: this journey for a long time. If you're watching this

77
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: right now, there's a reason you care about this because

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: people have dedicated their lives and their energies towards it

79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: and are still doing that. Let's appreciate that for a moment.

80
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: If it was every week, I agree, But like, you know,

81
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: one a year, when the Oscars come around, I'm excited.

82
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, man, let's let's highlight this the effort.

83
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: And you know, because if we don't know, you're not

84
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: forget the Oscars. You're not highlighting the effort. You're highlighting

85
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: the people that are there. You're highlighting who what dresses

86
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: you're wearing, and the four hours on the red carpet.

87
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't care about self important, but that I don't

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: care about the red cart that you don't. But that's

89
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: part of the of the night. That's part of the

90
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: glitter and the glamour that pagenger of and the pageantry.

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: And to me, I've never liked that. I've never been

92
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: into the pageantry of anything. To me, contententry for pageantry's

93
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: sake is just like, let's see how big a thing

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: we can produce and make a thing that's kind of

95
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: important seem like it's really important, Like oh my god,

96
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 2: who had the best supporting actor this year in a

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: film they only made twenty million dollars to do? And

98
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: to me, I'm like, like, I just don't care.

99
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's the other side of that coin,

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: which is, you know, the sound mixer who has dedicated

101
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: their entire life has the chance to win an award

102
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: and get up on stage with their peers and say

103
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: what I do is important.

104
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: So absolutely a lot of that is not that same

105
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: night as the actors and everything. It's a night before

106
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: that isn't even televised.

107
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: Well sure, but you know, I just think that in general,

108
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: like what the I mean? I agree, Like I don't

109
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: care about like the Red Car. I never watch any

110
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: of that stuff, like who are you wearing? But the

111
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: actual the idea that the industry takes a moment to celebrate.

112
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: Like for me, the nominees are always the most important

113
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: part because who gets nominated tends to actually be because

114
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: they're nominated from within their own discipline, right, So like, sure,

115
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, actors nominate the actors. Sound mixers nominate the

116
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: sound mix like those professionals. It's a chance to recognize

117
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: each other. And I tend to find that the nominees

118
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: usually I agree with. I'm usually like, those were the

119
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: best of this year in film, and so I I

120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: just think it's a it's an opportunity to recognize, you know,

121
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: hardworking people.

122
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: No again, I have no problem recognizing hardworking people at all.

123
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: I think it's amazing. I think recognizing the art is amazing.

124
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: But I think needless pageantry. It's like Miss Universe. I'm

125
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: sure all those women have worked very hard to do

126
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: that pageantry. I don't care. It's to me. I just

127
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: the the kind of the glitter and glamour of things

128
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: for the sake of glitter and glamour. Have just and

129
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: it's a personal thing. Have never done it for me.

130
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: I find it to be a little bit cheesy. I

131
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: love the idea that they're doing, like, hey, here's the

132
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: dancers that were part of the show that we've lost.

133
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: That's that's important stuff in saying that, but it just yeah, it's.

134
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: Well, in this case, it's not for me. Glitz and

135
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: glamour is the whole thing.

136
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: It's the show.

137
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: It's part glitz and glamor. I thought, okay, let's get

138
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: into the opening montage. Was I thought, fantastic, great, a

139
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: great way to get a glimpse of seasons as. And

140
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: then this opening dance number incredible, incredible, the Pros dancing.

141
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: I was just like wow. And then to find out

142
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: that Derek did the choreography. I was like, oh, that's

143
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: why he's here.

144
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: I apparently won for Emmys just for choreography.

145
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: This guy, like that was one of the greatest like

146
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: dance numbers, the best dance number I've seen the Pros

147
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: do this season.

148
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: I was incredible. Oh yeah.

149
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: And then when they announced that he had done it,

150
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, and they gave him recognition after the fact,

151
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that makes sense why he's in

152
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: the judge and see he is so good. He is

153
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: he deserves so much credit because that choreography was astounding.

154
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: And starting with the original dancers. Was was a great

155
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: way to start because again, we don't know any of

156
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: these people. We know, we were going in totally cold.

157
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: So seeing all that, yes, no, I loved all that stuff.

158
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: I just some of it tonight got it just a

159
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: little heavy for me for for what it is. That's

160
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.

161
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: All right, first dance up Laine and Allen doing a salsa.

162
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: Lots of green, lots of green, lime, green everywhere.

163
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: This had such a nineties vibe to it. Yeah, like

164
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Eve with the squiggles and his shirt and like all

165
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: of Yeah. I thought this was a really good move

166
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 1: stylistically for her. I felt like, you know, we've because

167
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: like the last couple dance, I mean, obviously she didn't

168
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: dance two weeks ago. Last week was very conservative. I

169
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: felt a little boring. This was really fun and showed

170
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: that she can really dance. I was like, yeah, you

171
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: you are you know. Of course, as the night went on,

172
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: got blown out of the water by Yeah.

173
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: I thought it was okay. I liked that it was

174
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: high energy to start, but yeah, I thought the dance

175
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: was just okay. Frankly, really, yeah, I did I thought

176
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: it was. I thought that the outfits for a little

177
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: much for me. Yeah, and again I love the high

178
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: and it might also be frankly, they they might have

179
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: been kind of screwed a little bit by coming right

180
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: off of that giant dance number, Yes, where we just

181
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: saw these the best, arguably the best dances in the world,

182
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: doing incredibly choreographed thing.

183
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: So then this dance, which again I thought was okay, well,

184
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: but something was interesting because they were doing homages to

185
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: previous dances, right. What that meant is that stylistically, a

186
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: lot of the dances felt out of touch or like

187
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: you could you were watching them through the lens of

188
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: like several years or maybe ten years. And I kind

189
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: of appreciated that because obviously, like trends change, costumes changed,

190
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: life and styles change, and like if you're trying, like

191
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: so much of this show has been trying to be

192
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: on the cutting edge of culture, like trying to be

193
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: cool and sexy or classy in a way that is

194
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: interpreted through the lens of now. Whereas because they were

195
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: doing homages to ten years ago, twenty years ago, within

196
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: the last twenty it ended up kind of having like

197
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: a sort of permission to be a little dated in

198
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: a fun way. So like this one I was watching.

199
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: If this had just been presented as like a contemporary, current,

200
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: cool dance, I was like, eh. But because it was

201
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: through the lens of word paying homage to a dance

202
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: from years years ago, and then the whole set in

203
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: the style felt very dated to me or like hokey

204
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: in a way, it was fun. It was like, oh cool,

205
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: we're doing it through, We're in, We're in. We're investing

206
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: in something that is a little cheesy, but we're just

207
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: going to go for it because it's, you know, an homage.

208
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: I like that approach the whole night. It made everything

209
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: a little easier to swallow from me.

210
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: I thought it was I thought there's an interesting because

211
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: when we talked to Sharon or last week, it was

212
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: she talked about how the dances are changing all the time,

213
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: but at the same time they still have this to

214
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: have some kind of tether to the original dance. So

215
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: there's something interesting about that balance of we want to

216
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: make it look modern, but we still know that it

217
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: has to be based on something from the eighteen hundreds

218
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: that that shouldn't change, right. So I dig that and

219
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: I get that I also think, and this is just

220
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: my personal opinion, I think personally, Danielle did better several

221
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: weeks than Elaine has, and so the fact that she's

222
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: still there and Danielle's gone, I think I'm holding that

223
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: personally against the Lane, which again is a stupid thing

224
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 2: to do. It's not a Lane's fault that people have

225
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: been voting for her, but I think that's one of

226
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: the things where I'm kind of like, I still think

227
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: Danielle was a better dancer than her, So maybe I'm

228
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: looking for things wrong with it, But I thought that

229
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: had this exact same dance been done last week or

230
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: the week before, it would have been four eights.

231
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got nines across the board. I was definitely like, really,

232
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: maybe cannbe a little but I think we're at the

233
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: stage in the competition where es scores are just through

234
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: the roof.

235
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: I also liked how I did like how they came

236
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: in high energy and they started high energy you needed

237
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: to and so it was a good way to start

238
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: the night, I will say that.

239
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: And then we went on to Robert and Whitney. In

240
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: their pre show package, he talked about going to some

241
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: event where Prince William was going to be there, so

242
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: then he got a call from Prince William.

243
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: Like you do like you do to him yesterday.

244
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they went into their dance, which was

245
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: an homage to his sister's dance and was very emotional

246
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: in terms of its background and its meaning.

247
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: I found the dance a look boring. I agree with

248
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: you one hundred percent, it's good.

249
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Robert can dance is great. But I

250
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: was like, okay, you know, and then you know, when

251
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: he broke down at the end, I was.

252
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, it's a little much.

253
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: Now. I know.

254
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: It's a terrible that. It's a terrible thing to say

255
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: because it's obviously about his family, which is hugely important

256
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: to him. But this dance ended exactly the way the

257
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: dedication I ended, except he was holding his sister's hand

258
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: instead of his mother's hand. Right, He's obviously dancing with

259
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: the stars Royalty. His father hugely important in his life.

260
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 2: Nobody's trying to take anything away from that. He seemed

261
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: his dad seemed like an amazing guy. Everybody loved him

262
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: huge in his country. But it doesn't it wasn't just

263
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: that to me. It's like at the end where he

264
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: was voted through. He gets this expression on his face

265
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: and like he jumps like he can't belie leave it

266
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: happened when he knows he's going to be voted through.

267
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, my my, my hot take,

268
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: which maybe isn't that hot, is that they really want

269
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: Robert to win.

270
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: Oh, no, everybody wants I think everybody.

271
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: No, I mean the judges, the producer, the show wants

272
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: Robert to win because this was a straight up nine dance.

273
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: To me, this was not a ten, and they gave

274
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: it tens across the board and then later when they

275
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: do their relay thing, he did not deserve to win

276
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: that I feel no, I feel like so like this

277
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: was my first indication. I was like, okay, yeah, like

278
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: I get your this is there's a great story behind

279
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: this dance. But let's just look at that dance and

280
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: when they gave it tens and the comments that they

281
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: made like he was just the greatest, obviously the greatest

282
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: dancer that has ever graced us with his presence. I

283
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: was like, guys, he's already been great.

284
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: He is great.

285
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: You're not holding him to the same standard of like

286
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: you could do a little bit more, you could push yourself.

287
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: Do you think they're going to give him a note?

288
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: You think they're ever going to go They didn't give

289
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: him a note. I have another hot take to add

290
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: to that, since we're talking about this. I also think

291
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: because it's ABC and Hulu, they really want to keep

292
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: Whitney around too, because Whitney is on their biggest thing

293
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: right now, which is The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

294
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: It's like the biggest thing in the network. She got

295
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: immunity this week from having to dance and got extra

296
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 2: points the week before that she.

297
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: Was but he danced this week was insane. It was

298
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: len dancing tonight though, Oh my god, I mean, I'll

299
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: go yeah, I like, but I feel like when they

300
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: gave this all tens, I was like, oh wow, this

301
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: And I think that they kind of screwed themselves because

302
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: by giving this tense, they had to give tens across

303
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: the board because the other dances were genuinely better than

304
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: this one.

305
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: Oh and Mormon Wives the new season apparently premiered this week.

306
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I thought Whitney's dance was incredible. It was great,

307
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: but I think Robert and Whitney here were like good

308
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: but not tens and so, but I feel like the

309
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: producers of the show, the judges of the show love

310
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: him so much. They want him to win. They gave

311
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: him tens and then because of that, I had to

312
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: stick with tens. There's so many tens because it was like, right,

313
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: and we're not.

314
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: Bashing on Robert. He seems like the most likable guy

315
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: in the world. He's obviously working his butt off. He's

316

Speaker 1: still in the show.

340
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it just.

341
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Kind of is what it is with an I know,

342
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: we'll talk about their relay dance later, which I thought

343
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: was much better than this one.

344
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again because it's through the.

345
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: Lens of this sort of like self conscious show busy

346
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: thing putting on the ritz.

347
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: I thought it was fun. It was fun. All of

348
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: his dances are fun. They're just not pticularly good dances.

349
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: So it's I mean, she is working her ass off,

350
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: his partner, he's working his butt off. Nobody nobody is

351
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: saying he's not. Actually, I would actually say this.

352
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: Might have been one of his best dances. I don't

353
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: disagree in terms of like his feet doing the things

354
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: that they needed to do. I was like, oh, I

355
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: didn't because when he first walked down the steps, I

356
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: was like, he can't even walk down the stairs. He

357
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: was walking down the stairs sideways, and you could tell

358
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: that He's like yes, and so I was like, Oh,

359
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: this is going to be a disaster, and then it wasn't.

360
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: It was actually pretty.

361
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: Damn good, and I read looked great. I was like, cool, man,

362
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: you're doing it.

363
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: I thought maybe he would get more eights than you did,

364
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, eight seven seven seven. My wife was watching

365
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: and she was like, you know, we could have connected

366
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: with her more like that. He was kind of doing

367
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: his own thing and not necessarily connecting.

368
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 2: I think he's probably trying to remember the dance and

369
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: counting the steps in his head as she's saying things

370
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: like six seven eight. I mean, I think he's got

371
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 2: nine hundred things going on. It's not effortless right now.

372
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: And again, I think that's one of the reasons people

373
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: kept voting for him, is because a they saw there

374
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: was some progress, and there clearly has been. You go

375
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: and watch this and you watch his first dance, there

376
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 2: has clearly been progress. But it's also the fact that

377
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: you know he's working his butt off apparently he's a

378
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: TikTok machine where they're all just putting out these tiktoks

379
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: all the time, and so he's playing the game. And

380
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: you know, I don't fault him for it. It's not again,

381
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 2: I don't blame any of the dancers. The dancers aren't

382
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: voting for themselves, right, So, Yeah.

383
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: There was this moment later in the show where Andy

384
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: talked about what it was like being on the show

385
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: and how it was like all dancing and all TikTok videos,

386
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, and he gave him a credit for pushing

387
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: him in both arenas, and I had this like weird realization.

388
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this show is now like fifty

389
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: percent of it is the social media. Yeah, at least

390
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: and like controlling that narrative and promoting yourself there, which

391
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: is not part of what like I'm watching right, Like

392
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: i'm watching this season. I'm looking at just what's on

393
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: the screen and what's being aired as part of this show.

394
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: But that's not even really that's half the show. The

395
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: other half of the show is what these people are

396
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: doing in social media and how they're forging their narratives

397
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: and creating those stories. And like Andy has obviously been

398
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: doing really well at that and apparently Emma is really

399
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: good at coaching him in that arena as well. So

400
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: I just thought that was super interesting that we're just

401
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: at this point where a reality show like this is

402
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: not just the show, no barely any at all anymore,

403
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: it's what's going on every week on their social media

404
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: pages and their TikTok in particular, And I was just like, Wow,

405
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: this is a it's a weird it's a whole new

406
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: media jungle out there. Seven completely a part of.

407
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: And I told you, I don't have an Instagram, kind

408
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: of have a Finsta account that I check occasionally, and

409
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: I looked at one Dancing with the Stars thing, and

410
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: now when I look at it, it's nine hundred people

411
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: talking about Dancing with the Stars, and it's I heard

412
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: this rumor, I heard that rumor? Or did you hear

413
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: about this? And then it's the tiktoks that Andy does

414
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: or the tiktoks that Danielle did. It's part of the job.

415
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: It is twenty four to seven. Wow, yeah, crazy.

416
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: All right, they got eight seven seven seven.

417
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 2: I could have seen another eight.

418
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. I guess doesn't really matter in the end,

419
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: but at this point, I was like, Wow, is Andy

420
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: gonna stick around another week?

421
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: Oh? I thought he was, I thought.

422
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: After the relay, I was like, Oh, the crowd's going

423
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: to love this, I thought. And we went into an

424
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: inn memoriam Oscar style, a dance going on in the

425
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: foreground with some pros while the screen was showing people

426
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: who had died. I was very relieved to realize that

427
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: not everyone they were listening had died this year. That

428
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: took me a moment because at the Oscars it's who

429
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: died that year, and I was like, wait a minute,

430
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: Summers was this year and it was the same, and

431
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: it was like, no, it's just people who have that

432
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: they've lost in the twenty year history of this show

433
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: made a lot more sense. I was like, oh my god,

434
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: what a banner year for deaths. No, not the case.

435
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: I thought this was really sweet.

436
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: It was sweet.

437
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: After the in memoriam, Dylan and Daniella bringing out the

438
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: Argentine Tango, my favorite dance, which made a couple appearances tonight.

439
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: The best yep passo doble kind of took over last

440
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: week and I was like, oh that one's good.

441
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: No, no, no.

442
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: The Argentine Tango back on top. Just kills.

443
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: These people are so smart to see you mouth everywhere

444
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: you go. Now, I love it so much. It was great.

445
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: This was insane.

446
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 2: This was dance of the night for me. They both

447
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: just crushed it.

448
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god, her swimming move at the beginning where

449
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: he's holding her up, the strength that it takes for

450
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: him to hold her, and the strength in her body

451
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: to say, rigid plank like that, why is kicking your

452
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: legs and make it believable and seamless and just crazy.

453
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this was just so fun to watch.

454
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: It was expressive, It was sexy. The connection is just

455
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: like brilliant, and like his ability to like be the

456
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: sort of frame that she's throwing herself around. And of

457
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: course I still she's the best dancer. I've never she's

458
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: the best.

459
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: This week she's the best.

460
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: Yes, And like he is rising to like be her

461
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: partner and god like I and and this is where

462
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: I felt like they went, oh, we shouldn't have given

463
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: tens to rush.

464
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: That's because this blew that out of the water.

465
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: There's no way if you give this tens that those

466
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: were eights like that, This is you know, this deserves eleven.

467
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: Or twenty different level. He also to me, Dylan looked

468
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 2: like and I turned to Sue halfway through, I was like,

469
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: he looks like a thirties movie star. Yes, like he

470
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 2: looked like Errol Flynn up there kind of dancing. It

471
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: was really amazing. I mean, they're both perfectly and I

472
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: know this isn't right because she's a professional, but both

473
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: perfectly castes as these two people going on this journey together.

474
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: It's like you couldn't have put two people together. He

475
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: no one else could have done for him what she

476
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 2: has done for him. Dance once and he has stepped

477
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 2: up every and this was the first time. I was like, oh,

478
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: they both looked like pros. They fully both looked like pros. Tonight, Yeah,

479
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: dance of the night for me. He crushed it.

480
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was incredible. So yeah, ten ten, ten ten,

481
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 1: well deserved. Hell yah, man, I hope these guys make

482
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: it to the finale.

483
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: It's but do you have competition anybody can beat Robert? No?

484
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: I don't either. I think it's already been progestined.

485
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I think that the show itself is

486
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: really making it hard for anybody to beat Robert, which

487
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so curious what the what the audience

488
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: votes are, because I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if

489
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of backlash to that, because it

490
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: starts to feel like, oh, well, he's the obvious, and

491
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: then people will stop voting for him just because they

492
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: assume that he's getting all the votes, and that might

493
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: you know, that might be somebody else.

494
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: I agree. And I was back east. Both Susan and

495
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: I were back east last week, and she was in Massachusetts.

496
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: I was in Connecticut, where both of their families, and

497
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 2: then we met up in the middle and wherever we went,

498
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: we were talking about Dancing with the Stars, and just

499
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: for the heck of it, I would start talking about

500
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars with the waiters or the weight

501
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 2: staff or somebody who worked at a place wherever we were.

502
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: I think of maybe the five people, six people I

503
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: talked to, four of them watched the show regularly. All

504
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: of them were voting for Robert. Wow. Every single girls, boys,

505
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: different ages, all of them are like, oh my gosh,

506
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: I can't I vote for Robert. Every week, every single

507
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: person was voting for Robert Wow.

508
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: Okay, it's crazy crazy, then he probably will win.

509
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, all right.

510
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: Next up, we had Jordan and Ezra doing the Cha cha.

511
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like she is in a tough

512
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: position because she is doing so well, she is committing

513
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: so hard, but I just don't feel like she's getting

514
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: the support for the same you know, in the same way.

515
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: But I thought, you know, their whole goal they talk

516
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: about in the pre show was to try and be

517
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: sexy and passionate in a way that she hasn't been

518
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: able to showcase.

519
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: And I thought she nailed it. I thought so too, frankly.

520
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 2: And it was cool. It was a cool dance.

521
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: And I really appreciated Derek's feedback because what he was

522
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: saying was like, we know you can do the athleticism,

523
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: We know you can do the big moves, but what

524
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: your what your journey and your growth has been is

525
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: in texture and the way that you're learning to express

526
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 1: things with your body. And I felt that and it

527
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: was exactly what I was. I hadn't I couldn't put

528
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: it into words, and he put it into words. And

529
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm so glad he gave her a ten because I

530
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: thought that if we're going to reward people for their

531
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: personal journeys, if we're going to be giving Andy an

532
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: eight in a situation where he's clearly never going to

533
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: be more than a six or seven. Then somebody like

534
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: Jordan who is athletically move wise doing tens, but also

535
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: growing emotionally and expressively in ways that is not super

536
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: easy for her, comfortable for her or immediate, we should

537
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: reward that too. This is this is her journey and

538
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: so and the point.

539
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: You were making before, were you and I not fully disagree.

540
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: I kind of agree about the pageantry a little bit,

541
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: but you know me with the kind of stuff. But

542
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: this was one of those times too, where you saw

543
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: how important Dancing with the Stars was to her because

544
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: in her preshow package she's talking about like as a kid,

545
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: all she wanted to do was learn every Dancing with

546
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: the Stars dance. Here's a girl who from the time

547
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: or a woman now, but when she was a girl

548
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: was probably already a top athlete at seven eight years old,

549
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: but she wanted to come home and do the dances

550
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: with Dancing with the Stars. So I get the importance

551
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: of the show. I really do. It's just for me,

552
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 2: it's a little much, but I can see how for

553
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 2: someone like her it's the equivalent literally of I played

554
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: little league. I'm always saying, oh, I mean my backyard

555
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: holding a bat going it's bottom of the ninth, there's

556
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: two outs. It's on me. This is her world series.

557
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: She's been doing this since she was a little kid,

558
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: and now you're on the biggest stage on Dancing with

559
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 2: the Stars. You've made it and you're trying to get

560
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: as far as you can't. I totally get that, and

561
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: I get the journey, and I get the importance. I

562
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: just it's a little much for me, but I get

563
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 2: it all right.

564
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: They got nine, ten, nine and nine, which.

565
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: I guess it was.

566
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: I could have seen two tens and two.

567
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say another ten felt deserved in this case.

568
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: I could have seen I could have seen Bruno giving

569
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: her how interesting. I was glad that they highlighted how

570
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: they have to mark their scores before they speak the judges.

571
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was really because I wasn't quite clear

572
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: on that.

573
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh remember did you hear early ones where they're like,

574
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 2: remember we were at the show, the first show, and

575
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: they're like, lock it in, lock it in. I the

576
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 2: one person.

577
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: Hadn't locked it in, I think, or Bruno hadn't locked it. Yes,

578
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: I but it was really cool to because I started

579
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: to think, like, aren't they influencing each other in their comments?

580
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: And it's really nice to know that's not the case,

581
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: that they're actually defending their scores or explaining their scores

582
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: before those scores are revealed. Actually, that's what the judging

583
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: is an opportunity to or an opportunity for. And it

584
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: was also I loved hearing we'll get into later when

585
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: they do the flashbacks and they were talking about the

586
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: judges in their role. I loved hearing how Derek still

587
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: thinks of it as a teaching opportunity, right. He was like,

588
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: you go from coaching somebody all season and having hours

589
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: during their dance to only having.

590
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 2: Thirty seconds to give feedback and teach them.

591
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: I was like, that's so cool that he's looking at

592
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: this as a teaching opportunity and a and he's he's

593
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: so good. Man. Well that's why my respect for derekof

594
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: too just started to take him for granted. You know,

595
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: I've always appreciated his comments, but I didn't know the history.

596
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen the history, lived the history, and man,

597
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: tonight really like.

598
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: To talk to him about his journey. But this is

599
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: you mentioned the scoring, so this is kind of an

600
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: interesting time to talk about this. So Sasha Farber, who

601
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: was one of the original maybe not one of the ogs,

602
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: but for years was one of the professional dancers. He

603
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: did a live reddit last week where he kind of

604
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: gets into the scoring system because we keep going back

605
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: back and forth on what the hell the scoring is.

606
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: So I'm going to read a little bit of what

607
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: was said and see if we can try to decipher

608
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: any of it, because a lot of it is very confusing.

609
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 2: So it said after Bobby Bones, who was we talked

610
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: with Sharna that was her partner who they won the

611
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: whole thing and maybe shouldn't have. They talked about how

612
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: that kind of changed the ranking system. So if there

613
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: are five contestants, you get one to five points based

614
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 2: on where you're placed on the judge's score, and then

615
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: one to five based on where you sit ranking based

616
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: on ranking with the votes, and then they combine the

617
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: two so it's not a percentage system. So then somebody

618
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: else explained it how this is how the scoring system

619
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: in the German version works, and they think that this

620
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: is the same, but they show it on a leaderboard.

621
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: For example, five couples are left in the show. Couple

622
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: one has thirty thirty jury points, or the highest score

623
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: of five points they would get ranking Couple two is

624
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: twenty eight points, so they get four points, and so

625
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: on and so on. So where you rank on the

626
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: leader board, you either get a five, four, three, two one,

627
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: and then they do the same thing for percentage of

628
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: votes that people call in, so you're five fourths. So

629
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: if you get the highest judge of scores, you get

630
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: a five, and then you get the highest calling scores,

631
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: you get a five. So your ten gets you through

632
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: to the next week. Is I believe how they do

633
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: it all. It sounds it's confusing as hell, but I

634
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: believe that's what they're doing.

635
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: No, that actually it's it's a way to really boil

636
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: it down to like simple numbers, you know, so really

637
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: quick quick adding numbers. That makes sense, actually, okay.

638
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And by the way, because we talk about this

639
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: is a big week because Andy left and they were

640
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: calling him the Bobby Bones of this season, and apparently

641
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: you and I just heard from one of our producers

642
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: as we came on that yesterday he came out saying

643
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: he returned his mirror ball to ABC because of all

644
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: the hate he was getting from winning the show.

645
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Which is kind of a strange move, Like, agreed, why

646
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: not just say okay, but that was you know, he

647
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: won fair and square by the rules that they said. Yeah,

648
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't feel the need to give that back, but.

649
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: Again, he's not voting for himself A million times other

650
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: people are voting for him. I agree with you one

651
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: hundred percent. I wouldn't have given it.

652
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Back, but apparently, like you know, I get it, like

653
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: it's but yeah, you want it fair and square, man.

654
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: You know, I also don't get people going out of

655
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: their way to give a former Dancing with the Stars

656
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: champion hate for winning a show he doesn't vote for

657
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: himself on Yeah, it seems.

658
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: Well, but I guess he was promoting it a bunch

659
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: on his own radio show or something like that.

660
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: But isn't everybody doing that with all the tickets whatever,

661
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: you go, whatever you got, that's like your platform promoting ourselves.

662
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: So yes, but that was the news apparently.

663
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: All right. Next up Alex and Val doing the Fox

664
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: trot to sing it in the rain. I thought this

665
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: was subdued and classy and freaking awesome.

666
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: A thousand percent agree with.

667
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: You, right, Like I love the old Hollywood sort of vibe.

668
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: Dressed dude, just such a cool move man, like, because

669
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: these two can do anything, like they've clearly done so

670
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: many different styles and energies, and to do this was

671
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: just perfect. It was like wow, and again I'm going

672
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: you guys screwed yourselves with those Robert scores because.

673
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: They had to give this tense like you can't.

674
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't compare once you had locked in tents for Robert,

675
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: it was going to be so high across the board

676
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: just to compare, because this was so much better, so much.

677
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: So classy and just elegant, and they were gliding through it.

678
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: This to me is like old school ballroom dance, you know,

679
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: just watching that with the beautiful outfits. They both looked gorgeous.

680
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: They were staring at each other with big smiles on

681
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: their I could watch this all day.

682
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: It was great, right, and again it wasn't like cutting

683
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: edge in terms of like current culture. It was it

684
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: was referential to old culture yea and like and really

685
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: just investing in something that is dated intentionally to say

686
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: like we're gonna we're gonna really go back in time

687
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: and and and do something that wouldn't be considered maybe

688
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: cool today, but make it cool again.

689
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: I love that too. All this all this fusion food

690
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: is amazing, but if you can just make a classic souflet, Yeah,

691
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 2: there's something about that that's amazing. Yeah. So yeah, I

692
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: loved it. I think they look great together. Again, they

693
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: could ease, they could win. Maybe it's maybe it's in

694
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: any other year they would win because it does seem

695
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: like they're just gonna give it to Robert. But there's

696
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: three or four couples that could easily win this show

697
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: or should have a chance at winning the show. And yeah,

698
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: there are definitely two of them, because man, can they dance.

699
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: And I would say just from watching next to your

700
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: favorite dancer, Danielle. Next to Danielle, I think Val is

701
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: probably the next best dancer on the floor.

702
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Yes, and an amazing choreographer. C Yeah, he kind of

703
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: knows it too. Yeah, you get that vibe from him, right.

704
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. We didn't talk about he actually have.

705
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: Had a very humble speech about being an immigrant.

706
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 2: He loves it, he loves what he does. But the

707
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: one thing we didn't talk about was the very opening

708
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: move of Dylan and Daniella, where Dylan's got his leg

709
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: up and she just comes in and pops under his

710
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 2: leg that. Oh it was so like a dart. Yes,

711
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: so cool. Yeah, just set the toe for everything. Yeah

712
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 2: all right, Alex and Bal got tents across the board.

713
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: Well, so yep, deservedly so next up Whitney and Mark

714
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: and the Argentinian.

715
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 2: Tago stakes again, right, are so happy perfect.

716
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: It's just it's I mean, it was Danielle's breakthrough dance.

717
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: I just feel like this is everybody's breakthrough dance. You

718
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 2: do tago, Well, it's you're moving your legs and their

719
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: legs are going up underneath other that's so cool.

720
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: You get all those little flicks and weird kids, so

721
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: you're just like what you just can't take.

722
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 2: Your eyes off of it. And yet it's so like

723
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: just expressive. Oh man, totally.

724
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: So this was insane to me. And yes, like I

725
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: think this was her best dance ever. Yeah. And they

726
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: just they're they're so great man. I love both of them.

727
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: I Yeah, this was incredible to watch. And it was

728
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: at this point I was like, dude, if they don't

729
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: give them tens, I'm gonna be pissed. Yeah, And there

730
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: was a moment where I was like, are they not

731
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: going to do it. Are they going to somebody going

732
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: to give her a nine and no tends a gross.

733
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: The board had to be had. You're right, they said

734
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 2: they set the standard a little high at the beginning,

735
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: and then you kind of had to go from there.

736
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: Because I had to do it.

737
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: That was It was really remark There were three or

738
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: four dances tonight that were really remarkable. I still think

739
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: Dylan and Daniella was dancing the night though, personally, So.

740
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: This is going to be I mean, really, if we

741
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: just take the tens, it's Robert, Dylan and Alex and Whitney.

742
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to be the top four.

743
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 1: And I think that's it's just inevitable at this point, Like, yeah,

744
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: at this point in the night, I was going, man,

745
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: it could Andy could sort of eke out and stick around,

746
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: in which case I was going to say, a Land's

747
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: probably going home.

748
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 2: That's what I thought was gonna happen.

749
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: It didn't happen that way, and so now I'm like, Okay,

750
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: well now it's just going to be dancing.

751
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's going to come down to.

752
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 1: The people that got the top top scores this week,

753
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: and I truly just waiting for that to happen.

754
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: Andy was probably slightly disappointed, but I think he had

755
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: such a fun time, got farther than he ever thought,

756
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 2: and we probably walked away going like that was amazing.

757
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm good and I'm glad that I'm glad he stayed,

758
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: and I'm also glad he's gone. Now. I think it

759
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: was time and you can now get to the The

760
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 2: cream is really rising to the top at this point,

761
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: I mean, there's it's amazing, and.

762
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: We went into flashbacks two seasons past.

763
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: Wait before I'm sorry, Oh yeah, I apologize to our

764
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: our faithful listeners because I was so upset with daniell

765
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: exit last week that many people pointed out that I

766
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 2: did not do Will's History of Dance. So I'm going

767
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: to do an in memorium Daniel Fischle dancing to Will's

768
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 2: History of Dance, which was Daniel's last dance was the

769
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: contemporary dance and so for people out there, because as

770
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 2: you know, writer, I have an encyclopedic knowledge of all

771
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 2: things dance. We've established this at this point, does it

772
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: It didn't.

773
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: Matter with contemporary to have an encyclopedic knowledge.

774
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: It matters an encyclopedic knowledge. It's an expressive and versatile

775
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: dance genre that emerged from modern dance, combining elements of

776
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: various styles ballet, jazz, and modern to create innovative and

777
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: creative movements. I love how to describe a contemporary dance.

778
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 2: They describe it as or I mean, I in my

779
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: head with my knowledge, describe it as a modern dance.

780
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 2: So best way to describe.

781
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: Contemporary modern Yeah, kind of anything.

782
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 2: Kind of redundant, but it's a slow dance that isn't quick.

783
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: And then we went into flashbacks of seasons back and

784
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: profiles of the judges, with a nod to Len Goodman,

785
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: who I gather was one of the original judges and

786
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: a legend who has now passed. Like I said earlier,

787
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: I thought this was really cool. This gave me so

788
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: much appreciation for all the judges. You know, I feel

789
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: like we've you know, we've we've we've come, we've come

790
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: at Carrie Anne a little hard we have, which sounds

791
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: like a lot of people are ye, and uh, this

792
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: gave me another more appreciation for how much she's brought

793
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: to the show, all of them. I was just like, oh,

794
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: this is a really interesting job. These people, you know,

795
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: they're they're up against it. In a lot of ways.

796
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: And then yeah, just seeing Derek when he was like

797
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: fifteen or whatever, he.

798
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: Looked like baby. It was unbelievable to see him out there.

799
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and on top of his choreography for the opening number.

800
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: I just my respect for him.

801
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we got to see if he'll come on

802
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: to Podmeets World. I know he's we love to have him,

803
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 2: And by that, I mean he's probably never heard of us.

804
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: There has no idea that we're doing this, but I

805
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 2: think both he having he and sister on because the

806
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 2: perspective of both sides would be very interesting. Of hosting

807
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: a live show like this every week, but also dancing.

808
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: I mean we've she danced that opening number and is

809
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: sitting there huffing and puffing trying to get through. Now

810
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: oh wait, now I'm a host, so difficult for both

811
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: of them. We did come at carry in kind of hard.

812
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 2: I think rightfully so at the time, but that's also

813
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: anytime you put yourself out there nowadays, if you say up,

814
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: then everyone who likes down hates you. It's just the

815
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: way the world works. She handled it with total class,

816
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: like she did, and I think I think all of

817
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 2: her scoring and all of the judges scoring except for

818
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 2: Robert this week, and I could see why they wanted

819
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 2: to give him high scores. I think was pretty spot on.

820
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Then we do this relay section, which

821
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't quite clear on what this was, and then

822
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,959
Speaker 1: again felt kind of rigged, you know, like because who

823
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: they were partnered or who they were versus seemed like

824
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: a big deal, you know, like that kind of determines

825
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: like so the and then also the mirror ball passed

826
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: mirror ball winners who they were dancing with, Like with Jordan,

827
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: she got another other big guy, Apollo, who hadn't danced

828
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: in thirteen years. Yeah, Whereas when it came for Alex

829
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: and Robert the last set of relay, she was like

830
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: last year's winners, both of them got the most recent winners.

831
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like, that's a stacked deck. Yeah,

832
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 2: that's total.

833
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: They were giving Robert and Alex a huge leg up

834
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: on everybody else. Yeah.

835
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: Kind of pissed me off. Man, I don't disagree with you.

836
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: I have not liked most of these side little sojourns

837
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 2: that they're taking. It seems a little strang It seems

838
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 2: like a way to stack the deck of riggan again

839
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 2: to boost who you want and yeah, exactly, Whitney had

840
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: community got two extra points. She won the dance off

841
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: the week before it. They it's an easy way to

842
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: kind of figure out next steps.

843
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was Jordan versus a lame Jordan one.

844
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of an obvious me too.

845
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: When you compared the two dances as good as Elaine was,

846
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: it was like, no, but it was cool to see

847
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: how how well they worked with another partner. I did

848
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: like that factor of this whole thing, you know that

849
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: they you got to see like these people have to adjust,

850
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: and during the pre dance packages, I was like, oh God,

851
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: this is going to be a disaster, and it wasn't.

852
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: Pretty much across the board, it was solid. People were

853
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: agree and those now those people who admitted that they

854
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: hadn't danced in years really brought it. And you were like, oh,

855
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: I could see why you won, and made.

856
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: Me kind of wish I could retool all of Dancing

857
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: with the Stars. Yeah, because if I could retool all

858
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: of Dancing with the Stars, it would be two celebrities

859
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: who have to learn how to dance together. The pro

860
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: is teaching them how to dance. Every week, But the

861
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: actual dances every week are two different celebrities, double the

862
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: amount of celebrities that are there, first of all, and

863
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: you're watching everybody kind of on equal footing. And so

864
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: you've got you know, it's a celebrity of celebrity, and

865
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 2: then you get your professional who trained you every week. Wow,

866
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: So you can never have somebody standing there while a

867
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 2: professional dances around you. It's always the two of you

868
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: together learning.

869
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: I wonder if that would just result in worst dances though,

870
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, of.

871
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 2: Course, But that's I mean because you don't get to

872
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 2: see professionals dancing all over the place. But to me,

873
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: that would be a really interesting Maybe do a season

874
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: like that. Do one season where all the professionals do

875
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 2: all the interstitial dances and they train you all week long,

876
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: but on the floor it's just the two of you together.

877
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: I like that all right. Then we had Andy versus Dylan.

878
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: It seemed like a foregone conclusion that Dylan would win,

879
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: which he did, of course, but Andy had this shirt moment,

880
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: which didn't we make this very joke. I feel like

881
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: we made this exact joke that we were like, will

882
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: you'd rip your shirt over and you'd have one of

883
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: those muscle shirts under it. We made that joke and

884
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: then they did it, and his commitment to it. At

885
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: this point I was like, you know what, I don't know.

886
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: I think Andy. I'm okay with Andy sticking around another

887
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: week because it was commitment, good dancing actually yeah, it

888
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. Some of his best dancing. Yeah, and funny, entertaining,

889
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, all the things that we wanted to be.

890
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: And it reminded me of of what we talked about

891
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: with you, is like, you would be best if you

892
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 1: entered Dancing with the Stars thinking of it as a character,

893
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: thinking of it as like a joke, as a as

894
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: a as a comedy bit. You would end up committing

895
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: more physically than if you felt the pressure to like

896
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: actually be sexy or you know. And I felt like

897
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: Andy came alive in the same vein when he was like,

898
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: I know this joke is coming and this I'm gonna play,

899
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: and yet he physically ended up committing more than he

900
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: ever has.

901
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 2: It was really cool. See, it was a good moment.

902
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: It really was a good moment.

903
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: I was also watching Rumor Willis and the rehearsals going.

904
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: She won What's happening here? Is she any good?

905
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 2: And then when she came out, she was amazing. Ye.

906
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 2: Together they were so good.

907
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, it's not just Daniella bringing up Dylan,

908
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, like he's really working well with another partner

909
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: who's also amazing.

910
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: Really incredibly well together. But that's what I mean, two

911
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 2: celebrities together, it could work.

912
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: Could be could really be great.

913
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

914
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, Dylan won this face off. Why these face

915
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: offs become these face offs again? I just don't understand.

916
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: And we ended with Alex and Robert, and this is

917
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: where they got the like the most recent dancers. They

918
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: got pros who are like fresh off of winning the

919
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: Mirror Ball. Their dances were really good. I thought Alex's

920
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: was insanely good.

921
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 2: I thought it was better than Robert's. Yes, that was

922
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 2: the only one I thought they got wrong. But that's

923
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: the thing. They want Robert to win. Yes, And I'm

924
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 2: about the fact that he kicks her in the face.

925
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: Did you see that in the back of I mean

926
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 2: he literally kicks her.

927
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: In with that final move where he's like slamming her

928
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: to the ground, almost flipping her over and jumping back up.

929
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: I was like, what, this is crazy? And you know,

930
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: you see it rehearsals and you see how crazy it is,

931
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: and then they nailed it. Man, they really got the think.

932
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 2: They got the wrong one here. I also think, and

933
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 2: I think you said this before. You may have changed

934
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: your tune. I don't know, but I was the entire

935
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: night of watching. I think the jive is my least

936
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: favorite dance. It's just it's not it's I prefer the

937
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 2: holding onto each other, classical kind of dance with some

938
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: moves in between, the kind of jive of the quick

939
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: step in them side by side. It's not my f

940
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 2: And so that threw me a bit because it just

941
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 2: isn't my favorite dance. But I thought this was the

942
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 2: only one that they got wrong. I thought that Alex

943
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 2: deserved to win this round.

944
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,959
Speaker 1: Frankly, yep, yep. I think most people felt that way. Yeah,

945
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: all right, and that was, uh, that was it for

946
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: the dancing. Then we just had the uh, the results.

947
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 1: I really was a shocked.

948
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: I was shocked. Absolutely. I thought I thought the fandi's

949
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: are coming out and it was becoming a thing, and

950
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,959
Speaker 2: they just were going to keep him on. I didn't

951
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 2: think he was gonna win. I didn't think anybody was

952
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: gonna beat Robert, but I thought he was going to

953
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 2: be make it to the finals. Wow, So the idea

954
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 2: I was. I was convinced after starting the show and

955
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 2: the low scores that Elaine that this was going to

956
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 2: be Elaine's last week of dancing.

957
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: Well it will be next week, yeah, probably, that's what

958
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: we're looking at. Or when you have people with all ten, Yeah,

959
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Jordan and Lane dropping off, which is

960
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: too bad because they both have great journeys. They do

961
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: incredibly well. And they said it in this episode, and

962
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: I've heard it a lot that this season is insane, yeah, stacked, snacky, ye,

963
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,479
Speaker 1: And I think in any other season Jordan and Lane

964
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: would have a genuine shot from what I gather at winning.

965
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 2: But as with Danielle, that's what daniel we're talking about kill.

966
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: I know you've got When you have Robert and Alex

967
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: and Whitney and now even Dylan, you're just talking about

968
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: people that are taking it to this next level.

969
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: But that's why I hope somebody like Dylan or Robert wins,

970
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: simply because these were two guys. And again, you're probably

971
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 2: right that Robert has been training to be on Dancing

972
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: with the Stars his entire life because he knew we

973
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: wanted to be here and it's his family legacy kind

974
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 2: of thing. But somebody like Dylan from where he was

975
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: to where he is now, to me, represents the show exactly,

976
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 2: perfectly represents the show. Whereas Hey Whitney, the girl who

977
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 2: grew up dancing, who went to school for dancing, whose

978
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 2: dancer whole life and is now professional TikTok dancer wins

979
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: a dancing competition, that's not a headline to me at all.

980
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 2: Dylan Ephron comes out and wins. That's pretty impressive. Yeah,

981
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: and you're right that dance. Just the move. It's a

982
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: poster of him holding her in the plank position with

983
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 2: the light behind them. I mean that is going to

984
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: be on some kid's wall who wants to grow up

985
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 2: and be a dancer. That's like, that's Michael Jordan dunking

986
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 2: on you in the dance competition. I mean it was.

987
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 2: That was insane. All right.
