<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to Jojaswan Now.

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>This is part two with my favorite human in the

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>whole world, Jenna Johnson. I want to know you get

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the phone call were you were? You asked prior to

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 1>meeting me if you would be open to having another

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:23.799
<v Speaker 1>female as your star.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 2>So this is how it went down. I was called

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 2>by the producers, the executives, and they were like, hey,

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>we just wanted to talk with you really quick. And

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:36.879
<v Speaker 2>again this is before I'd been picked up, so we

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 2>were all waiting for the phone call to like, oh,

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 2>you're on the season. And I thought that this was

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 2>just gonna be like my phone call of like oh

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 2>you're on the season. Anyway, so they were They called

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>me and they were like, Hey, we're gonna do something

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 2>really groundbreaking the season and we're gonna have the first

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>ever same sex pairing. And I was like, oh my gosh,

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>that's amazing, And for some reason, immediately my brain thought

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>to boys really and so I thought they were going

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 2>to be like, you know, what do you think about this?

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>How should we approach this? Do you have any advice? Yeah,

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 2>that they would be asking me for advice for it.

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.040
<v Speaker 2>But literally, in my mind, I was like, they're going

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>to have two boys, and I was like, that is amazing.

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>The next sentence that came out of their mouth was

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>it's a female and would you be really willing to

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 2>dance with a girl this season? And I was like yes, yeah,

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>and I said yes immediately, and I was like yes.

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>It's like I don't know if I can't, if I'm

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>capable of this moment, but yes, and then we hung up.

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>They were like, oh, that would be so great. They

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 2>didn't tell me at first who it was. Yeah. Then

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>we hang up and I sat for the rest of

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the day having a panic attack. Really, I was just

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>like again because I didn't know it was you. Yeah,

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>So I was.

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Like, I think something that did make it special was

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that we could actually go somewhere, you know what I mean,

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Like we had dance that we could do, Versus if

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you were to do this with somebody who couldn't dance,

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it would have been or I mean, I guess I

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>was jumping in a dance that I didn't know how

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 1>to do.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I never had done ballroom, but it was what at least.

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Could pick the language. If you went with someone with nothing,

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>it would have been like, oh god.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 2>And I don't want this to sound weird or creepy

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>in anyway. But I think also I didn't know if

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be somebody older or my age

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and how that would really register to our audience, because

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>it was such a huge moment at first. But yeah, no,

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>that's not you know, and so I was just like, oh, like,

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>what is this going to even look like? So I

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 2>think when then I found out it was you, I

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 2>had a bit more excitement of like, Okay, I think

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>that this could work, Like she's young, We'll be able

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 2>to like hopefully dance and creative, Like we'll at least

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>be able to be creative with this and not make

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 2>this feel cringe, because that was my biggest line. I

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 2>knew that this could be such a powerful moment, and

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want people to be like, oh, that was disgusting, right,

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, because that's not how it is.

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of times, even just in general with sexuality,

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, everything is sexualized, everything is sexualized,

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>and people are so new to it, yeah you know

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, And so people are gonna see I mean,

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>it's it's kind of unfair to say because they do

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>this anyways, with Dancing with the Stars, they see a

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>partnership and they're like, they're married.

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what I mean.

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>But then it's somehow when it's two females, even if

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you're just friends, like if I'm friends with another female,

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>people are like.

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, they are dating. Well, and then we're

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 2>doing the rumba or whatever. You know, that's in my

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 2>memories unlocked, good memory, good week for us. Good anyway,

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>So I think I think I was a little bit nervous,

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 2>and then once we met, Yeah, literally every fear went

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>away because we immediately connected. So right, yeah, right, and

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>then it was just like again, back to that, how

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>do I prove people wrong? I wanted to be so

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>creative with you and show such a magical experience. And

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm so proud of us because I think week one

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>we were expecting a lot of backlash or a lot

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 2>of negativity, and everybody was so supportive. You know, it

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>isn't throughout this season. No matter what dance we did,

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 2>there was never like anything hateful or rude, which I

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 2>think was so you did it in such a beautiful way.

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 2>We did it in such a beautiful way. But thank you.

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I did make up one a count

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>in our freestyle.

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I did take my credit for and I did suggest

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the tinsaca and Penny.

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 2>You did no. I'm just I'm so so grateful that

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 2>a I said yes, because I've never been pushed like

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>that on the show. You know, I think you we

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 2>get consistent of like, oh, I know that my guy

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 2>will stand there, he'll look big, I'll do a dip

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>on him, he'll pay me up and he'll just like

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and I'll be sexy around him. But this I really

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 2>had to push myself creatively and I needed that.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm laughing because I have all these memories of any

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>time we would go to just do something, whether Jenna

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>was gonna jump on me or whether she was gonna

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>dip whatever, she would just say that. She would say,

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>stand there, be stable.

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Jenna, that doesn't help. What are you gonna do? And

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 2>she'd like, just be stable, and I'm like, I don't

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>know what to expect. But all of a sudden, she's

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>on my shoulders.

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what, hew crazy? Yeah, she she really went

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>all the way in. Well, I got to say that

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I am very, very grateful that you said yes. I

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>look at everybody on the show, and I love everybody.

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I love all of the pros. I could not imagine

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>myself having any of the other females as a pro

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>like it. I'm so grateful that the world aligned for

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you to be the pro that did this. I think

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>it was something that was so big, not not even

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>just for the LGBTQ community, but just for the world

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to just normalize. You know, it is what it is,

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's two two females doing something together. Doesn't have

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to be in a in a over sexualized way like

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>it just it just was so cool. It was so

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>unique and it was done so well. But I'm I mean,

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I picture it all the time. I'm like, what if I.

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Was with Lindsay, Like, it just wouldn't have worked. I

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 2>love Lindy. I think you could have done it. But

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I think I think that was a big thing for

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 2>me is after that phone call with the producers, you know,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I sat there and I was like, well, how how

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 2>will I feel if somebody else gets to dance with her? Yeah,

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I was like, I'll be really jealous,

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Like because I knew that it could be something epic.

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you you you made it something epic. I

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 1>will give you that credit all the time. Okay, So

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>then let's we got a lot to get there. So

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>you it's it's day one. That's the only only thing

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that I want to spend a lot of time on.

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>It's day one.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, you're standing there.

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Now, you know you're gonna have the same The pros

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily know who they're getting as a star. But

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the press release was released that I was doing it,

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>that I was gonna be the first same sex couple.

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.119
<v Speaker 1>You knew you're gonna have his first same sex couple.

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I walk in the door, you already know it's gonna

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>be me, but it's your first time seeing me.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what's going through your brain? I remember that first

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>met I was like shaking if they had me preset

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>in the room and they were like, okay, she's gonna

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 2>walk in and I was just like here we go,

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 2>just like no shaking, Like I had no idea what

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>to expect. Again, I think, you know, everybody always visualizes

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you as this like massive, loud human, which you are

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>at times, but it's but then you're also this very respectful, polite, quiet,

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>determined person, and I was not expecting that. So you

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 2>came in with a lot of energy, which I loved,

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 2>which was great, which I needed because I was like

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 2>shaking in my boots, and then you were just like focused.

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought maybe you were going to be like a

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 2>little rude or disrespectful or like, I don't want to

0:07:59.920 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 2>do that, but I just did you. I mean I

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>was a baby, but you just soaked in everything and

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>it was literally the dream partner. Like you can't ask

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 2>for anybody better than somebody that has that intention going

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>into the show.

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I always say, I'm like, I don't know if Jenna

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>will have somebody. You might have somebody that's better than me.

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>You might have somebody that looks better than me, that's

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>strong than me, but you will never ever ever have somebody.

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 2>That cares more than I cared. But I will stand

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>by that you cared a lot. And last thing I'm

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm gonna say about the first meat. When we

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 2>first met, you were wearing so many layers and I

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>was like, we're about to talk about day two, Okay,

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of layers. We had like a shirt, a

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>tank top under a jacket over like huge glittered pants,

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 2>huge chunky shoes, and I was like, hey, a lot

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 2>of layers. Layers I have gold. The Day two story

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>a bunch.

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you'll remember the day two story,

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>but I'm once I kind of get you going.

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I think you'll remember. Okay, right, I remember, like a

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 2>few days later story of the leotard. I always call

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.439
<v Speaker 2>it okay, but you go day two and then I'll

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 2>go leotard. Maybe it wasn't day two.

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I just remember it was very very early in the beginning,

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>and in my brain it's day two, but I'm sure

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>there was days in there, because there was a day

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 1>where with a Mickey shirt and how to turn it

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>inside out. You were like, we're on car, you can't

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.359
<v Speaker 1>wear Mickey Mouse shirt. I was like, oh, duh, obviously.

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>So it was a few days later. But the story

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>of when you were you asked me in a very

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>respectful way, and I was wearing something under it to

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>take my shirt off, and I broke down that story

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>but from your perspective.

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 2>And then we stood in front of the mirror. Because

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I've told the story of Bunch, I know how I

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>remember it, but I want to hear it how you do.

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 2>So she was wearing this like shiny blue leotard. I'll

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 2>never forget it. And it was like a razorback right.

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:52.080
<v Speaker 1>It was like a gymnastics it was. I had gotten

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in an adult medium.

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Very high neck six straps, like it wasn't a spaghetti

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>strap or like lo v. It was very high neck,

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 2>chunky straps. And she was wearing this massive netted shirt

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 2>over that kept getting caught in our hands and I

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 2>was like, dude, you need to take this off, and

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 2>like you kind of brushed it off at first. You're

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 2>like no, no, like it's fine, you know, and I was

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 2>just like okay, So we kept rehearsing. It was just

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>getting in the way and I couldn't see your body lines,

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 2>and so I was getting upset. I was just like

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 2>yes because I want to see what your body's doing.

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 2>And so I was like, you need to take this off.

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 2>And her face like kind of went white, pale white,

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 2>and then I could kind of see like rosy cheeks happening,

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and then it was like a little bit eyes are

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 2>welling up and she's like no, no, don't make me, please,

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 2>don't make me do this. I was like, oh, oh,

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 2>we're having this is the thing, and then I was

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 2>like pissed at you because I was like, wait, are

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>you for real right now? Not because I was like

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 2>just listen to me, because I was like, oh, she's

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 2>very upset about how she looks.

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>You're the first person ever that figured it out. I ever,

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it was like so upsetting to me. And I kept

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>saying like, I just I wish you could see how

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I see you because I just saw this like gorgeous

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:18.839
<v Speaker 1>being was so much light and anyway. So after convincing her,

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I just kindly asked her like please, I need you

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>to take it off, like this is bigger than this

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 1>getting caught in our hands. This is like a moment

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 1>that we need to embrace. So she took it off

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and she just sat in the mirror and she wouldn't

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>look at herself in the mirror, but she was just

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>crying tears solving, tears running down her face. And I

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 1>was like, Jojo, what is going on? And I think

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you said something about like your arms, like I hate

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>my arms. I don't want to look at myself.

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 2>My arms, my legs, my chest, my shoulders, everything, And

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 2>so we held hands, we looked into the mirror and

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 2>we were just like appreciating ourselves for a second and

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 2>our gorgeous bodies that are allowing us to dance. And

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I just I think I remember telling you to repeat

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 2>to yourself myself. I there's a very powerful book that

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I read that you know suggests that you say I

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>love myself to yourself many times a day. And for

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 2>somebody that has dealt with a lot of body shaming,

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of body dysmorphia myself and a huge body transformation,

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>I just knew how big this moment was for you.

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 2>And I wish somebody would have snapped me into gear

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot earlier so I didn't have to literally hate

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 2>myself and ruin myself for years to come. So I

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 2>know that that was like a really uncomfortable day, but

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 2>but it fixed me. I'm so grateful. A second and

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.719
<v Speaker 2>then a couple of days later, you like came in

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>in the crop top and again, and I don't want

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>it to be like we need to show our skin,

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 2>we need to whatever, Like that's not me, But I

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 2>think we need to be really cold. I was.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I was overcovering because I was so insecure. I know

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>that it was when I started to dress normal for

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a dance rehearsal. It was even though like every other

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>girl there was wearing anybity outfit, I couldn't like it.

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>But then once I finally started to dress like everyone

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>else went to a rehearsal, it was monumental.

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you really, you really you you You fixed a

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>problem in me that I think I was always too

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>scared to admit, which is why I never talked about

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.719
<v Speaker 1>it to anyone or did anything about it. I just

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.559
<v Speaker 1>always say I just want to wear long sleeves, like yeah, always.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>If you look at me, from any time I was

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>fourteen to eighteen, it was all long sleeves. Yeah. That

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>was That was a day though, that that changed my life.

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>And that was also a day because it was so

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:44.439
<v Speaker 1>early in our friendship. But you were able to find

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a piece of me that no one else did. That

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.079
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, she's in.

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I just were in. I think I saw so much

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.679
<v Speaker 2>of my younger self and you, and I just felt

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 2>immediately protective. Like even those in the first few weeks

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 2>of us meeting, I was just already so protective of you. Yeah,

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 2>and of how you viewed yourself. Yeah, because you're You're gorgeous,

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 2>You're the best.

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You God, I love you, Jenna. I feel like I'm

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>like owl, like you're just like literally just like my home.

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 1>We could go into Dancing with the Stars and talk

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 1>every single week about every single memory, but I made

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I made a little list of memories unlocked to just

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>laugh about and to tell quick stories about.

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait. First thing on my lip.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>This was I think it was week one or two.

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>We're in the trailer. Oh no, we are exhausted. Show

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>is over, Show is just happened. I think it was

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>week one. Correct if I'm wrong, but I'm gonna go

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 1>with it was week one. We're in the trailer. We

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>were exhausted. I had some flowers. We sit on the couch.

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw on the couch, Jenna's on the chair. The

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>flowers dip over and Jenna does nothing.

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I do nothing.

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 1>The flowers starts feeling everywhere. Jenna goes, points at it

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 1>dead pan. We're so exhausted. Neither of us touch it.

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 1>We let it keeps feeling water waters, water, water. Then

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>she grabbed one paper towel and said.

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 2>A quick fix. It just so serious. Water. Honestly, I

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 2>think I was just like so, you know, especially because

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 2>there's so much lead up to that premiere. You are

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>just waiting and waiting and waiting for this moment, and

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>then it was finally over. We'd done all the press

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and we were just lifeless. It felt like just I

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 2>couldn't move, but I knew that the water was stipping

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 2>from the flowers. Yeah, lifeless water, water flowers. I'm not

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 2>sure who I thought was going to pick it up?

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 2>No one, No one, speaking of no one.

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Next memory is we're in rehearsal. It is either Halloween week,

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>before Halloween week or after Halloween week.

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 2>The door opening what you said, spooky, So the door

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 2>just opens randomly.

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Neither of us are scared, neither of us are feeling

0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>like going to see what's happening.

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 2>She just looks at it. Spooky. I'm all about one liners,

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you know. Oh no, oh no, we talked about this

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 2>on TikTok before. Oh my gosh, I know what this

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>is Jojo meldown, which every Friday. But this is one

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 2>specific melt. Okay, let me tell this story. Let me

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 2>tell this story. So, yes, okay, so this was Halloween

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 2>week correct, No no, no, this is semifinals. No, this

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 2>was when Oh this was contemporary? No no, no, this is contemporary. Okay,

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>So this is semifinals. We're doing it contemporary. And I

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 2>always take contemporary very seriously because this is meant to

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 2>be my style, and like you know, I have to

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 2>keep up my reputation of contemporary in the ballroom. So

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and I had Jojo freaking sea Wan. I was like,

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>we could do turn really well, and she wouldn't let

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 2>her wear a shoe. I'll talk about a second. You

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 2>gotta do beare feet anyway, So we're rehearsing, We're rehearsing,

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 2>and I'm I'm going to take this. This is my fault.

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I was like very stressed out this week because.

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Again, also in the semifinals, we have seen each other

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:11.920
<v Speaker 1>every single.

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 2>No, that's not about it. I could spend every day

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 2>with you. It was the fact that in my mind,

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 2>this is a little this is a little teaser. I

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.359
<v Speaker 2>feel like you always win it in the semifinals, which no,

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong, but yeah, because I was always we won

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 2>the semi Yes, for sure. I was always under the

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 2>impression like you really win it in the semifinals. And

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.400
<v Speaker 2>so semifinals, we're dancing, we're doing our contemporary and we're

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 2>just like running it and running it and running it,

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 2>and I think we decided that we wanted to have

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 2>our hair down, or both of us had our hair down. Yeah,

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and we were filming our why we were filming the wide,

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and our dance was hard to get through, like it

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 2>was we had big lifts in it. Yeah, it was.

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.119
<v Speaker 2>It was hard for the listeners if you don't know

0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.680
<v Speaker 2>what a why it is. Every Friday we had to

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 2>you have to on Dancing with the Stars film a

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>wide of your dance that then gets sent into production.

0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 2>And everybody thinks that this is how they arranged the

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>order of the show, but I actually don't think that's true.

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 2>But so there's like a lot of pressure on us.

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 2>You want to do a good dance for smallso all

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 2>the producers see it, and then you want a good order,

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 2>and so there's a lot of pressure for the wide.

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 2>So we're shooting our wide. This is probably like take four.

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.040
<v Speaker 2>We're doing it, Jojo. There was this part that I

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 2>go on the ground and my hair was like splayed everywhere,

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and she accidentally her heel like gotten caught caught on

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 2>my hair and I'm supposed to spin and it wasn't

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 2>my fault, and it wasn't her. No, it just was

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 2>like the universe and the heel, it just like what

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 2>had on. And so my head got caught and was like,

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I looked ridiculous. She looked great. I looked ridiculous, and

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.719
<v Speaker 2>I felt like I had ruined the wide. So we

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 2>got up, we finished the routine. We finished it, but

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.240
<v Speaker 2>then watching it back, I was just like, I look

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 2>stupid and this we can't use this wide? And what

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 2>did I know? You're missing the whole story. No, no,

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:01.640
<v Speaker 2>we finished.

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.240
<v Speaker 1>The dance finish and you were like we ended, you

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:07.360
<v Speaker 1>walk off and you're off here when you're like, oh, it.

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Was so good. I'm so mad that that happened. And

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 2>I said, oh yes, oh yeah, she you can say

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:15.679
<v Speaker 2>what but you say what you said?

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I said, will you notice, like on the video? Will

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you even notice that that happened?

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I have this engraved in my brain. It was also

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 1>my toe that got stuck, not the heel, but I

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 1>was just gonna let the heel go.

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I said, will you notice Jenna thought?

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I said, I noticed, being sassy, Oh saying that I noticed?

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>When I tell you, Jenna walked out of the room. No, no, no,

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>this is why I thought.

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 2>She said I noticed, and I was like, you know what,

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.359
<v Speaker 2>good for her for standing up because I'm being a

0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 2>little swear word right now. Yeah. So I was like,

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I need to take five because I need to be

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 2>better in the room. So I just like I walked off.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I went and got some water in my head.

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 1>She is so mad at me because I stepped on

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>her hair. Jenna, to me, is this perfect little baby

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:11.720
<v Speaker 1>angel that I would do nothing, nothing wrong too. I

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.160
<v Speaker 1>would never say anything wrong to and dear, I would

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 1>never ever ever hurt this perfect little angel. I warranted it.

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 2>It was me. I was like so dramatic. I was like,

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.160
<v Speaker 2>oh that was so good. I'm so mad about that part.

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:27.159
<v Speaker 2>And so I thought she was standing up for herself

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and she was like I noticed that.

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I was really being like sweetened innocent, like will you

0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I just felt like I was I'm not going to

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 2>say your mom because your mom will be pissed, but

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I just like older sister, and it was just like

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 2>sending you off to prom, and I just felt so

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 2>emotional watching you.

0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Like like I just felt like you were like not

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>saying goodbye to your younger self, but you were like evolving, yeah,

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and stepping into this new like who is this freaking

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:38.879
<v Speaker 1>sexy woman?

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? It was.

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 1>It was definitely like a upgrade. It was like she

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:44.919
<v Speaker 1>was changing. I feel like there was so many of

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 1>those moments with you on Stars. I feel like when

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:50.479
<v Speaker 1>we went from sandy and frenchy to body language like

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that was a body suit with a deep beat down

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.120
<v Speaker 1>to here and remember I was like can we cut

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the mesh off? And you were like yes, we say

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>no more. Oh my god, just you you really did

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 1>open the adult door and kicked me through it. And

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 1>it is something that I'll forever be grateful for. I have,

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I have a billion memories with Dancing with the Stars.

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I I think I just want to say thank you

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 1>because it really was such a pivotal point in my

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:21.120
<v Speaker 1>life for so many reasons. I remember I was going

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:25.120
<v Speaker 1>through my first breakup too during the season, and you were,

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you were the person that was there for

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 1>me the most because you had to be. You were

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.879
<v Speaker 1>the person I was with therapist. Yeah, no, she fully

0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 1>was my therapist. And I remember you were the first

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:36.919
<v Speaker 1>person that I told, like, hey, we broke up. You

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 1>were the first person that I told, Like if do

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you remember when I used to tell you, I would

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 1>be like, Jena, just tell me to do it, because

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:42.640
<v Speaker 1>if you tell me to do it.

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Then I will do it. That's a lot of pressure.

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 2>And you used to be like jod I'm not telling

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 2>you that I remember those car rides.

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but like you really you really were my safe

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:53.639
<v Speaker 1>person in that time for that situation. But then I

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:57.280
<v Speaker 1>mean for everything else. You fixed body, Boudie, you fixed

0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you got me into strength. Now I'm now

0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like a psych goat. Now I eat healthy, now

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 1>I work out, and now i'm.

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.199
<v Speaker 2>That is my proudest thing. I think is just like

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 2>seeing you, seeing you blossom in so many different ways.

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:16.679
<v Speaker 2>But I think also like loving being strong and not

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 2>shying away from that, yeah, you know, and I think

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 2>that's something for me. I feel like I'm a very

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:25.879
<v Speaker 2>feminine person, but I love like this masculine quality that

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I have of like I want to be able to

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:28.880
<v Speaker 2>do it the boys can do, yeah, like I want

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:30.439
<v Speaker 2>to be stronger than them, and I want to be

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:32.679
<v Speaker 2>able to do as any push ups as them, you know,

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 2>And so like I love watching your fitness journey. Thank you.

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:36.679
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean you you started it. You sure as ex

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 1>started it. I remember when we did Born this Way

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 1>and we did that ending left right, I lifted you

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 1>up and we were one shoulder. And now I could

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 1>do that with like chilling. I do it later, Yeah,

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I like, let's break it go easy. But at the

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>time I couldn't do it like it was.

0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 2>It was. It was a very big But before I

0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Dance with the Stars, I couldn't do.

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 1>A push up, like I could not do a single

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 1>a shop, which is okay, but now, I mean, my

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 1>strength journey has been insane. But then I remember seeing

0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the boys do it and they were like, you gotta

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:10.120
<v Speaker 1>do it like this, and I was like, well, if

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Gleb can lift her, I can lift her.

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Glob should be able.

0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>To do a lot more than I can do. But

0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:18.199
<v Speaker 1>like that mentality of like if they can do it,

0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:21.359
<v Speaker 1>I can do it. I mean it got me anyways,

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 1>now now you you just you you started this season

0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:28.720
<v Speaker 1>off with Tyson. You got eliminate a way too early.

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I really thought y'all were going further. I really did,

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.639
<v Speaker 1>like I did too, not just blowing that up you like,

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I actually like really thought when I saw y'all, I

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 1>gotta admit.

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of like, m I hope she doesn't

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 2>have back up of a partner. Job. You wish this

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 2>upon me? My early elimination, yeah, I.

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Was like because you you had baby and so you

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 1>were pregnant, didn't do the last season, and I just remember.

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Being like, I just really want to like play my territory.

0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, like I was like, for your sake,

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 1>we get a good partner, but selfishly like, but then

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 1>when you got Tyson, I was like, he's good.

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Like y'all.

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 1>When I saw your dance when I came on Latin Night,

0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, dang, like they're good. They're gonna go far.

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>And then you got eliminated. I think was it the

0:29:12.880 --> 0:29:15.320
<v Speaker 1>next week? And I was like for my first thought

0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was thank god I got to see her dance, I know.

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 1>And my second thought was, like, I'm forever gonna be

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 1>second place now, you know what I mean.

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 2>No, you're not. You're gonna have your season. You are

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:27.520

<v Speaker 1>not like that is.

0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Jenna just did the most beautiful Lend tribute.

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was.

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>It was the biggest thing I think from Dancing with

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the Stars this season, and it's because of you, Like

0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you did that.

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Thank you I think, you know, it goes back to everything.

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm a firm believer and everything happens for a reason

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 2>and full transparency. I was like really devastated that this

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 2>was my season that I came back from because I

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 2>love the show, I love creating, and so I think

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:30.080
<v Speaker 2>missing out on last season, I was so happy to

0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 2>be pregnant and to take a season off, but I

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 2>was so excited to come back this season. Yeah, and

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 2>so when it ended early, I kind of just felt

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 2>like and what now? Like what do I do? Now?

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:42.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've just been I carved out these three

0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 2>months for this, and now like what do I do? Yeah?

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 2>And I just didn't feel very fulfilled, you know, which

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 2>was which sucked because I was like wonging for that

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 2>feeling again. And I think.

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Too, you had a really like it. You should have

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you there was deaf only you. Y'all should still be

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 1>there and I think you knew that too. Yeah, And

0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:07.160
<v Speaker 1>so getting eliminated had to have been a big shock.

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Better Yeah, bitter sweet because again I got to spend

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.959
<v Speaker 1>time with my son. But I think I'm still in

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>my mind, I'm still this artist, creator, choreographer, and I

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>have so much more to give so anyway, cut to

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:21.800
<v Speaker 1>everything happens for a reason. We were asked Val and

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I were asked to quot off this Len tribute number.

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Len Goodman passed away this past year and they wanted

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>to honor him, and there had been a lot of

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>pressure leading up to this piece because they were like,

0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is a very important moment for us,

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 1>we really want to do it justice. This is I mean,

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Len was on the show for since the beginning, and

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>there's so much legacy that we felt a lot of

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>pressure to do a very good job. And so I

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 1>know that if I still would have been on the season,

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if I could have put in as

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>much effort to just solely be focused on this number.

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Ye anyway, And and Val is still in the season,

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he and Sochi are going to win,

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I think so and I wanted him to still be.

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Focused on that. They're so cute, so good. Anyway, So yeah,

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:06.520
<v Speaker 2>we we did this Lene number and it turned out

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 2>more than I ever could have expected. And I haven't

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 2>ever had the chance to do a group number on

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>the show and have the capabilities of using all of

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 2>these incredible dances. Was unreal At one time, So thank you.

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 2>It was unreal.

0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm very proud of it, as you should be. Emmy's

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 1>when the nominations come out, we'll see, we'll see. It's

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 1>been the best thing on this season for sure.

0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 2>For sure. Anyways, your life now, Mommy and mode. But

0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm still you know, I feel more ready than ever

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:39.560
<v Speaker 2>to like tackle my career and do those things that

<v Speaker 2>I haven't done that have scared me that now is

0:32:42.760 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the time to do it. So doing that, I'm still

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 2>obviously a part of the season. And then yeah, being

0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to be a good wife. You know, supportive wife

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 2>is my husband's Kushna on the season. So yeah, that's

0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 2>my best life I'm going to be. I want to

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 2>be John in my next life.

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Stop, Okay, I gotta I've actually been meaning to read

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you this, and I I didn't. I wasn't planning on

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 1>reading you this, and now I was. I've planned on

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>reading you this right when I got home from Special Forces,

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 1>but then I don't know if I've told you, have

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I told you about this?

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not ready for this. I'm not.

0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not either, and I will cry any any time

0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I take this is why I had to put it

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.240
<v Speaker 1>upside down because anytime I look at this death note,

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I literally start sobbing. Anyways, but before before we wrap

0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:40.360
<v Speaker 1>this up, I was like, you know what this this

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>feels like. It's like I'm I'm finally ready to read

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:45.280
<v Speaker 1>it too. I feel like we've had a deep conversation.

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Now today we've gone through emerl Lane and I don't know,

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just really anyways, So I just for anyone who's listening,

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I just did Special Forces World's Touffest Test, which is

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>a TV show on Fox, but I mean it is

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 1>it is are beyond a TV show.

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 2>People ask me all the time, what was harder Dancing

0:34:04.160 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 2>with the Stars? Are special Forces? Actually?

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 1>And I joke around and I'm like, actually, probably Dancing

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 1>with the Stars because Dan the Stars is so intense

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 1>and so stressful, and yeah, seventy five days compared to

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:22.040
<v Speaker 1>eight days. But there's something about special Forces. You are

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:26.839
<v Speaker 1>away from everybody, you are faced with death, you every

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 1>single day. You are pushed to your physical limits for sure,

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and pushed beyond your mental limits. I mean, I I

0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 1>was mentally gone.

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Anyways.

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:39.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's day I think six six or seven,

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:42.839
<v Speaker 1>and we had to write death notes and this death

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:45.800
<v Speaker 1>note was they gave us pieces of paper and they said,

0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:49.080
<v Speaker 1>if something happens to you, this is what goes home.

0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 2>So what do you want home to to read? What

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:52.480
<v Speaker 2>do you want home to know?

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you want them to know about your your finances,

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 1>your people, your house? Like you gotta, you gotta put

0:34:57.840 --> 0:34:59.480
<v Speaker 1>everything in this death note.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:01.320
<v Speaker 2>And so I have my death note.

0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 1>And when I when I was done with selection, I

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know what, I'm not leaving unless I

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:08.279
<v Speaker 1>get to take this death note with me.

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. I can't.

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't leave the premises. And so I convinced them

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:14.840
<v Speaker 1>to give me my death note and I wrote to

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a few very very very close people in my life.

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I need to still read it to a few people.

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:21.839
<v Speaker 1>But I told myself, I was like, I will read

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 1>this to every single person that I wrote to, because

0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 1>they need to know this before I actually go.

0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Fair warning.

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Every time I read this, I saw because it puts

0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 1>me right back.

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna cry already.

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:37.799
<v Speaker 1>It puts me right back to where I was when

0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I wrote this, which was at the mentally lowest point

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I've ever been at. I mean, you're thinking about what

0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:47.719
<v Speaker 1>happens if you don't return home and you already are

0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 1>missing your people so much. And yeah, anyways, so what

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll do is I'm gonna I'll read you. I'll read

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.840
<v Speaker 1>you the first part and then I have a section

0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that's just for you. Yeah, I'm okay, here we go.

0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Every time, there isn't an easy way to start this,

0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:09.400
<v Speaker 1>but I'll start by saying, I hope you never have

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to end up reading this, and instead I'll just get

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:13.759
<v Speaker 1>to tell you all this in person. I want to

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 1>start off with the message to my mom. Then I

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 1>go into a whole thing about my mom. Yeah, YadA,

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 1>this is this is this is your section, Jenna. You

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:26.719
<v Speaker 1>changed me and my life.

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Already going down.

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, so what happened was you're part of the death. No,

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you should you should know this. I was I was writing,

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:38.759
<v Speaker 1>and I went through all my people that I was

<v Speaker 1>like talking to like at the time, and you are

0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:44.879
<v Speaker 1>obviously one of the closest people to me, but you're

0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 1>not someone that I speak to every single day, And

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 1>so I was like going through like, oh, I talked

0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 1>to every single day.

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I was talking to Samana every single day. I was

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:53.239
<v Speaker 2>start going to kiss every single day.

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:55.000
<v Speaker 1>At the time, I was talking to Raven, Miranda, my

0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:57.040
<v Speaker 1>girl group, my mom, dad, brother, like that was like

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:57.879

<v Speaker 2>And then and Rachel and now and clean.

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And then I got to Ezra, who I was fighting

0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 1>with at the time, and I was like, I can't

0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 1>not write to him, So I wrote to him. And

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>then I literally was like, who means the most in

0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the world to me? And I was like Jenna. I

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 1>was like, I gotta write to Jenna, so your your

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:16.320
<v Speaker 1>section has actually last in this and so I was,

0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm I'm deep at this point. Jesus, Jenna,

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you changed me and my life more than I've already

0:37:24.000 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 1>told you. No one knew about my deep, dark insecurities,

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:28.480
<v Speaker 1>but you figure them out and helped me break down

0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:30.960
<v Speaker 1>every wall that needed to be broken down. I'll never

0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 1>be able to express to you how much you mean

0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:35.560
<v Speaker 1>to me. Thank you for everything. I love you very much, Joelle.

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:38.920
<v Speaker 2>You're also the only person that got signed Joell. Jesus,

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I hate this step note.

0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:44.719
<v Speaker 1>It gives me every single time and I like, I've

0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:47.520
<v Speaker 1>read it literally probably fifty times a step note, but

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.680
<v Speaker 1>it so I don't know something about it.

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:55.160
<v Speaker 2>That's uh. I love you you clearly the world to me.

0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't you know I don't cry any That thing

0:37:59.160 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 1>was like instant lot of works.

0:38:00.480 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 2>If I need tears, that's that's my winner tier. I

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:06.959
<v Speaker 2>should have just not read that. To me, I'm first

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:10.760
<v Speaker 2>of all, that's very beautiful and I can't even imagine

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 2>having to write it was so like putting that into words.

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:18.440
<v Speaker 2>But I knew like you were really there writing it.

0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:22.319
<v Speaker 1>Like it wasn't like, oh, I'm gonna go write this

0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:24.319
<v Speaker 1>note like just like to tell my people how I feel.

0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:28.360
<v Speaker 2>It was like it was so real, it was crazy.

0:38:29.239 --> 0:38:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm honored that when you're in that deepest, darkest right now,

0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I made the death note. But wow, that's so beautiful

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and I'm really glad you framed that and have that

0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:45.120
<v Speaker 2>forever one of my humans. It's a big reminder for me.

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:46.200
<v Speaker 2>It really.

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 1>As as psycho as this sounds, it was one of

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:51.479
<v Speaker 1>the best things I've ever done, was write a death note.

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it just puts into perspective what you care about,

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:57.480
<v Speaker 1>what you're grateful for. I think at the end of

0:38:57.520 --> 0:39:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the day, also like who matters, who really matters and

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:05.920
<v Speaker 1>what matters. Yeah, absolutely, don't write a death and nope,

0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:11.280
<v Speaker 1>but do write a death It really does help anyways,

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that was like the highest of high

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and lowest of low that we could have possibly ended

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:17.239
<v Speaker 1>this podcast on.

0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 2>But that's now. But that but that is.

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, and that is that is where I am now,

0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and that is where you are in my life now

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:24.719
<v Speaker 1>as a person.

0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud of you.

0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, in these past couple of years, I

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:32.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like you've gone through such an evolution. Thank you,

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and it's you started it. Well, it's got to be

0:39:34.640 --> 0:39:37.879
<v Speaker 2>starting flicting at times, but I'm really proud of you.

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:41.400
<v Speaker 2>You're thank you. You know, you're so talented that goes beyond.

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.360
<v Speaker 2>But like as a human, you are truly at the

0:39:44.400 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, Like if I'm thinking of who

0:39:47.719 --> 0:39:50.320
<v Speaker 2>will be there no matter what, if I needed somebody

0:39:50.360 --> 0:39:52.960
<v Speaker 2>right now, you're at the top of my list. So

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 2>so proud of you. So grateful we met each other.

0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 2>We got to do some incredible moments and memories together.

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 2>But even better than that, like we have each other

0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 2>in each other's life for the rest of our lives.

0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:06.239
<v Speaker 2>We're prepared, we're excited, and we have each other. Right.

0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 1>Jenna and I used to have these performance vituals that

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:12.239
<v Speaker 1>we would do before every every single performance. We would

0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 1>go to her prayer corner and we would she would

0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:16.759
<v Speaker 1>she would she would say friend. I would stand there

0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>not like hi, thanks big man, and then we would

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 1>say we're prepared, we're excited, and we have each other.

0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:27.640
<v Speaker 1>And then I would run the dance fifty and then

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:29.640
<v Speaker 1>gentlemen tell me to calm down and they'd be like okay,

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:31.799
<v Speaker 1>and then.

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:33.759
<v Speaker 2>We pert forward. It was great every single week.

0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I was just at CBS for some reason with my

0:40:37.200 --> 0:40:40.799
<v Speaker 1>mom and I was like, what's your prayer corner? And

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I showed it with you and I used to pray.

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:44.400
<v Speaker 1>We were like walking around and I was like, what

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 1>is see what I used to be. She heard about

0:40:46.200 --> 0:40:49.440
<v Speaker 1>it all the time, but she never knew where it was. Anyways, Jenna,
