• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is the Almost Famous Podcast with iHeartRadio.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hi, everybody. Oh my gosh, this is so exciting. I
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: love it when my worlds collide. And this time my
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: worlds are colliding kind of in three different ways. And
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not making this about me, but it truly is like,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: that's why I'm excited. Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelorette,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: and Almost Famous. So we are recapping Dancing with the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Stars on Almost Famous. And I get to do it
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: with Deanna from Bachelorette. How fun is this?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I am like, we've been friends for years
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: and we've never really gotten to do maybe one or
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: two things creative together. And then we get to do this,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: like my favorite things, television, podcasting, and my friends.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I am so happy right now.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I know. I love it. Podcasting is definitely one of
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: my favorite things as well. And to get to do
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it with you is just icing on the cake.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, look at us.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And the fact that it's Dancing with the Stars, like
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I did it for Special Forces. And I know you've
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: done you've done a couple too. And I just, I
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: love being able to have a reason to watch the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: show in real time, because usually I will put it off,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: like save it in, you know, whatever the The recording
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: box on my DVR is.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Trista, you do not still have a DVR.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. I'm sorry. I don't even know the terminology.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Like DirecTV? What's it called on DirecTV? You know what
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I mean? So anyway, I love getting the opportunity to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: review it the next day. And we have talked about this.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: We haven't done it yet. But we're going to come
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: up with a friendly little wager.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You are way more.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I'm like, as soon as our producer Heather sent that over,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: my palms started sweating because I think that I am
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: relatively competitive in just like a fun way, but I
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: don't like to bet and I don't like to lose money.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And I know that you are super competitive. And like,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: here's the difference between the two of us. I actually
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: don't watch Dancing with the Stars. So this is going
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to be like my first season.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I'm a newbie. So you're going to have to take
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it easy.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: It's your first season watching? I have watched things. Wait,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you didn't watch my season? No, I'm just kidding.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I was still in elementary school. I'm just kidding. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: love you so much. But I have seen clips of
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the show, like a lot of what I do, because I, whatever,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you're a mom, you get it. I have little to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: no free time whatsoever. So I hardly ever will sit
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: down and binge a television show. Yeah. So I get
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: most of my clips from Instagram. So I will see
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: stuff on social media about Dancing with the Stars and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: who's on it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Stuff like that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: But to say, I have never, never sat down and
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: watched an entire season of Dancing with the Stars.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Not ever. Okay. Well, I love that you're doing it
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: for this because it's going to be a really good season.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Being from Dancing with the Stars from From the first season.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are seasons, The Bachelorette and The Bachelor,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I have watched every single episode of every single show.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: For Dancing with the Stars, I've watched most, but there
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: were definitely some seasons in the middle that I was like,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I just, especially when the kids were little, that I'm like,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I just can't sit down for an hour, two hours
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a night, a week, whatever, and get all of this in.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But now, as an almost empty nester, I am like,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: all in.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Let's do this.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And the fact that we have the podcast and the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: impetus to actually sit down and watch it so that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: we know what we're talking about the next day.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Well, so maybe since you are the veteran of all veterans,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I bow down now to you.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no. Do not bow down.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'll bet our wager needs to be something friendly
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: since I'm the newbie and I'm just dipping my toes in.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Maybe it needs to be like, A basket of cookies
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: or like a dinner out.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, I love the dinner out.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Your words of wisdom.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: The care package is so cute. I mean, what about that?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That's a really cute idea. Listen, we don't have to
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: decide right now. Let's talk about that. In a little bit.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Or another episode. Maybe we text tonight about ideas about
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: what to do and then we'll announce them tomorrow on
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: our recap episode. Tomorrow night. Or tomorrow during the day.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But I am just so excited that you're a newbie
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: because I think you're bringing a new perspective to the show.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people are in your
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: same boat. I think there's a whole new viewership for
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: this show because... They've brought it to social media. Like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: in the past couple years, I'm sure you have seen
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the TikToks, the Instagram reels from people from Dancing with
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the Stars. They have elevated it so much. Like I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: love all that they are doing with social media. They
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: bring so much original content. It's way more interactive.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Like I actually feel like I'm part of it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I think we all know coming off of The Bachelor
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and The Bachelorette, we all wanted our turn at Dancing
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: with the Stars. And I know that you were on it, Trista.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And there was a.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Time where they were looking at me and I was
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: told I couldn't do it, right? So I have so
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: many mixed feelings and I really wanted to do it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: So that is what I do love about the show
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: now is it feels very interactive. very much a part
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: of this show. And when you're voting, they're not just
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: asking you to play a part. They're asking you to.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Be a part of.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, totally.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: No, I agree.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And honestly, you brought up a good point. The fact
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that they're bringing... people, it used to be like the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: most recent person from The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and now Tyler Cameron's on it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, I have to, before I forget, before I forget,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I have to tell you something about myself. And let's
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: all just like, I'll have you know, I have never
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: uttered this out loud to another human being. Like a
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: dirty old woman. Let me preface by saying, Trista, I
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: don't know Tyler Cameron. I have never met him. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: did not watch him on the show. I don't even
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: follow him on social media. Sometimes his stuff will pop
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: into my feed and I'm like.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's that cutie patootie. Do not know this man
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And I have had multiple dreams about Tyler Cameron.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I do not even know this person. I don't even
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: know him.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: But I have dreams like multiple, Trista, like four or
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: five dreams.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'm such a weirdo.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I have never told anyone, but I have dreamed about
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: him four or five times and that like we are together.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Like we are in a relationship. He's my boyfriend. Sometimes
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: it's hot and heavy. And sometimes we're just like living
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: happily ever after.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: What does that say about me?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: We need to have like someone who knows what happens
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: in dreams. Like can, you know, what's the word? Like
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: not a psychic, but somebody who.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Like dream dictionary. I believe in all of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: this stuff.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: It is my intuition telling me that I'm still delusional.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Anyway, he's so cute and he's so hot and I'm
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: so glad that they brought him back.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: He has done a lot of stuff recently, so I
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: am at least excited to have, you know, someone close
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: to my heart that I can cheer on during this season.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, I totally agree.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, so if people are listening and they're recent viewers
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: of Dancing with the Stars, like Deanna, I was on
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the first season of Dancing with the Stars. And I'm
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: saying this now because I want you all to know
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: my perspective is that We didn't have a budget. We
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: didn't rehearse a lot. There's only so much I understand
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: about this show from my personal experience. A lot of
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: what my opinion will be about is as a viewer.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: So don't think that I'm coming on here as some
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: freaking expert because I'm not. I was the very first
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: person that was ever booted from the show, if that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: tells you anything. So I love being part of the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: family and talking about this show because It does have
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a special place in my heart. But please, let's be honest.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I was only there for like two weeks.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: It still counts in my book, Trista. In my book,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: you are still really cool.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we're going to get to the recap. Last
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: night was the premiere of season 35 of Dancing with
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the Stars. And because they have such a big show,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: they broke it down into the guys performing this first night,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: last night. on Tuesdays. It'll be on Tuesdays. And then tonight,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the women will be competing, and we'll be recapping that tomorrow.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Every week will not be double episodes. It was just
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: this first week.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, phew, Trista. I was afraid I was going to
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: be losing out on my precious sleep.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Well, but I have to say, they'll probably make it
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: two hours. So don't think that you're going to be
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: getting any sleep back.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Sorry. May I ask you a kind of a newbie
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: question here?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Do they typically do this, break up the men and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the women? No, no.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think they've ever done this in Dancing with
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the Stars history, no matter how many celebs. are on
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the first night, they usually just have it be an
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: extended episode. So the fact that they're breaking it up
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: also is an indication to me that it is so
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: popular because they didn't just have, as you'll notice, they
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: didn't just have the guys performing. They had the, Julianne
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Hough did her Paris Baguette dance. You know, they had
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that dance. They had the, opening number. They had the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: interviews with the women who weren't competing that night. And
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you'll see as we get on with the more episodes
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: every week, it usually is just the performances. And sometimes
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: they'll throw in like the troupe and they'll throw in
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: like maybe a fun little number.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm really glad that you have said that because as...
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: you know, your token newbie here. I was a little
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: with the group dances. I was like, okay, this feels
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: like excess fluff that I don't necessarily need.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: And then I also, listen, I kind of am the
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: type of person where I like for everyone to have
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: their role and stick to that role.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: But like, I'm not saying that's right. I have my
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: own issues.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: But when Julianne Hough did the quick change and did
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: the French baguette dance situation thing, That she helped to choreograph.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: That was a miss for me, Trista.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It was. Okay. See, I love Julianne. I think that
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Derek and Julianne and their whole family, for that matter,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: are so talented. I have always, since Derek joined the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: show and Julianne, too, I just love them. As a dancer...
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I love seeing these numbers because they are so creative
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and so good. But I get that. I think that
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know that you're alone in that because we
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: know now that it was, you know, a collab, essentially.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: It's like how The Bachelorette does, like how we film
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: that commercial.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Like branded commercials, right? Exactly. Exactly.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: So I don't want to dismiss because you are talking
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: to someone who is not a dancer. I can stay
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: on rhythm. And I, you know, really good at that
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: side to side, Trista. I can drop it like it's hot.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: But I would not say that I have technicality by
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: any means. So for me to judge Julianne Hough is
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: really the dumbest thing that we're talking about today.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So I am with you.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I believe that them, their whole family, the incredible amount
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: of talent that they have is just, it's on another level.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I think just for me, I I like to stick
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: to the basics of the show and what that is,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: is it's the celebrities competing. Even some of the other
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: like pros when they do those group dances, they're cool.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I'm just, you know, I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that's what I'm saying is I think
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that because the show is so popular, they wanted to
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: give the troop, give Julianne, give, you know, these numbers
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to the people who are watching, because let's be honest.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: These days, I feel like the pros have even a
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: bigger following than the celebs a lot of times. You know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like if we compared the viewership or the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: follower count for all of the pros compared to all
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the celebs right now, I would really be interested to
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: see who had more followers. You know what I mean?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Because these pros are so big. so popular. Right.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: And I guess the other piece, Trista, is that there
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: are probably a lot of people who have been invested
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: in Dancing with the Stars from the very beginning. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: am not that person. So again, I'm just throwing some
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: curveballs here for you.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: No, I totally hear what you're saying. And I think
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: there's something to be said for that. But I think
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: it won't even be a topic of conversation moving forward.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: after tonight's episode because i think they're probably going to
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: just have the people perform you know what i mean
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: they'll have the background um right before they go on
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: stage they have like a little background video and they'll
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: have like the opening number and maybe the troop do
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: one or two things but that will most likely be
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the format of the show moving forward okay cool we
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: won't have to worry about it okay great so we
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: started the show um with jackson and emma jackson is
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: from Savannah Bananas. Do you know what Savannah Bananas is?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Trista, I am your good Southern friend, and I love baseball.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: It is on my bucket list to see a baseball
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: game in every state in the United States, and I've
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: been to a lot. I really want to see all
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: the stadiums, but it is also on my list. I
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: really want to go to a Bananas baseball game. I
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: love these guys. Love them.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The immense amount of skill that they have to have.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: To be you know, influencers, uh, dancing, singing, and also
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: be good at a sport that the, it's love him.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: And I do want to back up. So for this
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: episode and every episode, they will have a theme. So
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: like they'll have the Disney theme, they'll have a Halloween theme,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: they'll have whatever, whatever the themes are for that season.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: But for tonight or last night's episode, the theme was
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the Billboard number one hit from the year of your birth.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: And actually, I don't know that they followed the Billboard
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: number one. I think they followed like whatever from the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: year of their birth that the celeb wanted to choose.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the vibe that I got.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. So each person chose a song from the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: year of your birth. And let me give you a
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: little background on this. Maybe it has changed since first season.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: But it's not like you can be like, oh, I
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: want to do the song that Ryan wrote for me,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: something about her. Like, I want to do that on
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the show. No, you have like a list of songs
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: that you are able to do. Yep, that you get
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to pick from. And usually your pro picks the song.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: So I wonder because... I think in terms of timing,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: the pro needs the song first so that they can
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: start choreographing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, that makes sense. Well, I'm really glad that Wump
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: There It Is was on the list. You know, what
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: you guys don't know is that Trista and I were
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: talking last night about how we cannot remember anything.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: At our age.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: We're not even old, Trista, but we cannot remember anything.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: But for the love of God, we can remember every
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: single word to the songs of like the early 80s
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: and 90s. I can remember everything, but I cannot remember
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: what I had for breakfast this morning.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: No, I know. I'm sure people have seen those Instagram
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: reels where You know, like a mom is driving her
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: kids to school and she's, you know, rapping whatever, you know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: rapper's delight or whatever. Love it. Coolio.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Oh, my.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I did tell Krista last night that I got to fly.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Someone who's like really, really cool.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: And I in my head, I was singing the song
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: the entire time.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Ring, ding, dong. Ring, ding, ding, ding. Oh, I digress.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Anyway, if I were on Dancing with the Stars, Trista,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: my song would have been Betty Davis Eyes.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: She's got Betty Davis eyes.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I know. I love that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Could you just imagine me out there swirling and twirling
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: and dipping and all of the things with Tyler Cameron?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I mean... Who would be your pro? Who would you
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: choose to be your pro?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Tyler Cameron?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Your pro.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I know. He's not a pro.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I'm just telling you about my apparent obsession with Tyler Cameron.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: So tonight, you're telling everybody you're going to be having
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a dream about Tyler Cameron and you to Betty Davis. Oh,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: my God.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Understood.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: We get it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I can't. Tell me what your song would be, Trista.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: So if we're following the theme of the number one
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: hit from the year of my birth, it's Roberta Flax,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Do you
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: know that song?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Okay, but now if you got to selfishly choose,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: what would your song be?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, Lord. I mean, 1972, what the heck was the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: song back then? I would, you know, it's funny, when
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: we were texting last night, I did say The Gambler.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I wonder when The Gambler was out. No, that was later.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: That had to have been later.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I think I was in elementary school then.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: God, I don't know.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know songs. Would it be like disco, like Grease?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: It would totally be disco. It would be like the Grease....
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong? Yes, Trista!
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: It could be like the cha-cha, or not the cha-cha,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: but the one where they do the little kicks.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Somebody was doing it last night.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I know every word of every Grease song, so yeah.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay. All right.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: So that's very fitting for you.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. And yes, I could either wear, like
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: be at the, you know, the soda shop, the ice
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: cream shop wearing the big poofy poodle skirt.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, I absolutely picture you like that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Like in my mind, I believe you and Ryan dressed
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: up like that for Halloween one year.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I actually, so they had a Dancing with the Stars.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure you've heard of people doing Dancing
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: with the Stars locally, like as a fundraiser. And in Vail,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: they had a fundraiser Dancing with the Stars. And I
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: did a dance and I did wear a big A
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: pink dress, of course, with big white polka dots, and
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I did a jive. Oh, yes, you did a jive.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: See?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Taylor Swift.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I will describe it in layman's terms, and you will
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: correct me where need be. You know, one year, my
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: ex-husband and I dressed up as Danny and Sandy, too,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: but when they were in the leather outfits and I
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: wore a blonde wig, that was like my blonde era.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, I could be a blonde. Okay, cool.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that would be probably my second choice, but
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I need to go to the gym. Anyway... First up
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: was Jackson and Emma, and I know that you just
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: said that you love Savannah Bananas and you're a baseball fanatic.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I am wondering, like, he got an and. The judges
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: did specify this, that the scores from early in the season,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: they are great. to be a bit more critical when
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: it comes to scoring. And honestly... I feel like they
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: should because people only get better as the season goes on.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: And you can't start with nines and have a person
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: get tens like their entire time on the season. So
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I feel like you have to be a little more
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: critical so that you can give them feedback. Okay.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I was a little worried about that because if we're
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: starting out on like 12s and 14s, I was like, oh,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: we have some growth to be.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: To be done here. Right.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: So, no, we've got Jackson and Emma got all fives,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: and they gave him some good comments about foot placement
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and bent knees. And, you know, I don't know, when
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I came on the show, I knew nothing about ballroom. Like, nothing.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: And I feel like for most of these people, even
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: the professional dancers, Jenna Dewan was saying that She's a
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: professional dancer, has been, and she hasn't danced in a while,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: but ballroom's completely new to her. So I think that
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: this show also, I believe, has really educated people on
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: what ballroom looks like and what it should look like.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: And I love that the judges are able to give
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: that technical feedback to these people about how it can
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: be better. And usually you listen back to the show
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and think, what did they actually say to me? How
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: can I make it better? And you see that improvement
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: happening week after week. It's amazing.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's made dance like attractive, Trista.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, I don't know.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I grew up in the South and everybody played football
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: and baseball. So I don't know that like dance was attractive,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: but I know that you are a dance mom, right?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I think it's made dance like attractive, like that you
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: can seek dancing as a career.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: It can be your passion and it's like super cool.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: So I feel like, you know, since you aren't from
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: a dance background, I feel like it was that back then.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Like when I was dancing in college, my dream was
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to be Janet Jackson's backup dancer. Oh, geez.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be her backup singer.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. I love that. So I feel
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: like it's always been, you know, in the dance world,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the dance world, it's always been there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: But they have brought it to the main stage. They've
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: brought it to the bulk of people in the United States,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: at least, and overseas. I mean, the show started as
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: a UK production.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Len Goodman, I believe, was one of the original judges
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: on the original show. And I remember getting the call
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: from an ABC exec. And when you got a call
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: from this ABC exec, you took the call. And she
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: was like, you know, they do this show overseas and
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: we want to bring it to the States and we
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: want you to do it. And I was like, what?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Ballroom dancing? But it is now so sexy. Like everyone
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: wants to ballroom dance.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I I love what the show has done
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: for the dance world. And it's given all of these people,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: especially sport fans. athletes and Olympic athletes and Paralympic athletes
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: and all of these people, a platform that they don't
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: normally have. We'll get into one of my favorites from
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I heard you say the word sexy, which takes
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: us on to our next dancer. My friend, my lover,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess. Listen, I did not have
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: high hopes for for Taylor.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I did not have high hopes for Tyler. I love
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: how the show talked about how big he is because again,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I've never met him in real life. I'm just running
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: from my imagination here, but he strikes me as someone
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: who is very beefy and tall. And I love that
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: this show really worked on that with him when they're
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: trying to teach him to dance, that he's going to
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: have to really work on.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Those massive shoulders, Trista. Oh my God.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: So anyway, Tyler and Sharna, they They dance to Are
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz, and they tango. Now,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I did know what the tango is. It is a
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: very sexy dance. It is a very, like, I keep
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: using the word attractive, but, you know, it's a very
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: sexy dance. And she is so hot, and then him,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: you know, we're destined to be together.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: But they did a really good job. I was very
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: surprised at how well they did.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I was too. I mean, I, first of all, the
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: dancing is a huge part of the show, right? Like, yes,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: it's about dancing. I just heard Julianne Hough do an
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: interview because they were saying, what about these stars who
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: have dancing background? And she's like, you know, this is
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: not called dancing with the non-dancers. This is called dancing
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: with the stars. And I'm like, yes, that's a perfect
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: way to put it. That it doesn't matter what dance
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: background you have. You're dancing on the show as a competition.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: But I feel like a big part of it is
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: chemistry between the two partners. And Tyler and Sharna have
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: great chemistry. I think It's probably really hard for him
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: to not have great chemistry with somebody because I feel
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: like he is so charismatic. He is so fun and funny.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that their team name is Team Shardy, I.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Can't.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: It's hysterical that they're calling themselves Team Shardy. And she's
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: just having a ball with it. She has been on
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: the show for years and years, and then she took
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: a break to have her baby. And she's been gone,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I think, four years and now she's back and she's back.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: It felt like very much of a redemption for her too,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: which I really loved, right?
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Like he's back.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: We're all super stoked to see the stars, but also
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: for her to come back. And I kept hearing her
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: say like, I'm home.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, I just love that.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Totally agree. They did get a boo-boo. because there was
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: a lift. And when they were dancing, that's what I
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: said to myself. I'm like, Carrie Ann's going to take
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: off a point. Carrie Ann has always been a stickler
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: for lifts. If there is an ability to have a lift,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: then obviously she will not take off points for it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: But in certain genres, in certain types of dances, you
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: are not technically allowed to lift. There are certain dances
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: that you can lift, But in this particular dance, the tango,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: there was not, it's against the rules.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I thought you could just toss people around wherever it fit.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: And usually if that's the case, and you know how
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: he did it, like he held her arms and kind
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: of spun her around.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Spin me, daddy. Spin me.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, that's part of your dream. We're just
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: going to project.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I think he's engaged, Trista, which causes a huge problem
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: I'm aware. And she's so cute, too. I love their
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: love story. It's so cute. Anyway, so he was spinning
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: her around and her feet are not supposed to come
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: off of the ground. Okay, so usually the pros are
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: really good about keeping their feet like glued to the ground.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Well, he's also seven and a half feet tall. So
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: it's probably like she was flying.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad that you said that because when I
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: was watching the show, I didn't catch that when they
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: said that. Something about the feet coming off the floor.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I had no clue. Probably because I was so engulfed
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: in his face, but that's neither here nor there. I'm
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: so glad that you brought that up because I didn't
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: understand that that's what they were talking about.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: So in certain dances, it's against the rules. And this one,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: it was against the rules. And she'll always say that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Carrie Ann will always be the person to say, you
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: did a lift. I'm taking off a point. And also,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Bruno commented and said he has a lot of potential.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I got the same note from Bruno during my season.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: And that actually was like, oh, gosh, that's actually a
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: bad omen. I feel like I'm worried that Tyler won't
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: last that long.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Not my Tyler. I know.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Not my Tyler.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Tyler. I'm like, lots of potential means a good thing, usually.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: But I'm also like, oh, no. Does this spell disaster
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: for Tyler? I hope not. I hope I'm wrong. I
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: hope I'm wrong.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: OK, well, answer me a stupid question while we're on
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: this subject.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: No stupid questions.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: The show solely rely on voter interaction.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: No. So the show is, I believe, half and half.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: So judges scores. you know, they have a whole list
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: of the leaderboard that they'll post after at the end
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: of every show and it'll show you who's at the
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: top and who's at the bottom. Not all the time
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: will the bottom person go home because the other half
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: of the indication on who's going to go home or
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: the process, what's the, what's the word I'm looking for, um,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: is the viewers votes. So, you know, last night, um,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: They had a huge debacle.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: With the voting.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: And God bless Alfonso and Julianne because live hosting is
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: so freaking hard. I remember Chris Harrison came to used
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: to come to an event in Vail, like a fundraiser,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: and he was always the, like, the live host, the MC, whatever,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. I was always so
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: freaking impressed by how good he is in a live
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: situation and It is so hard. I know that you've
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: done it too. I've done live hosting. It is a talent.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: It is an art. It is really, really hard. And
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I give props to Julianne and Alfonso because they have
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: people in their ear. And of course, this is a ballroom.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: The energy is electric, as you heard people saying multiple times. Yes,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: it is electric.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: It's really loud. And so being able to hear... what
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: they're saying and being able to actually communicate that back
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: to the television cameras in a live show is really hard.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: So I want to give them props, but I will
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: also say that they did not include the online voting.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: So there's two different ways to vote. You can text
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: in Or you can go online to abc.com and you
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: have 10 votes per night. So like last night, I
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: voted five votes for one person and five votes for another.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: You can guess at the end who I voted for.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Might better be my boyfriend.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Goodness. So five and five. And strategically, I vote based
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: on like, I know certain people are going to get
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: so many votes. So I'm like, They're fine. I don't
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: need to vote for them. I want to vote for
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: these people who I want to have them stay around. Anyway,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: so getting back to the votes, there's half the judges'
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: scores and half is America's vote. So it's all based
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: on how many people have gone online or texted. And
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: obviously last night, they did not include online votes.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, perfect.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Thank you for clearing that up because the whole thing
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: with the live hosting, I feel you on that. You
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: always look at these people. I look at actresses when
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I watch shows and I'm like, I feel so easy.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: You're just like, no, John, we cannot be together now
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: and move on.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: It is a craft.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: It is a real job. And the same thing with
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: the live hosting. But I'm wondering if you caught Derek Hough.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: He called Tyler Dillon.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I sure did. I sure did. And actually, in the moment,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I thought, no one's reacting. Like, did I just hear
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: that right? And then, of course, on Instagram, I saw.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: No one even leaned over and was like, Derek, which
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: show are you on?
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: And Julianne, even as his sister, when they came up
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: to her, she didn't even say anything, which normally she'll, like,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: you know, harass him or whatever.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yo, bro, get your name straight, right? You're only making, whatever,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: a million dollars to do this job.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Come on, my friend.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Totally.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I do think it was really funny that he called
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: him Dylan because Dylan Efron was on last season. He's
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Zac Efron's brother. Super hot and super tall.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I had no clue who he was until I saw
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: him go on Dancing with the Stars. And I'm like,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: who is this cute, hot, younger brother?
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Where's he been hiding?
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I feel like you can totally get them confused, Dylan
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: and Tyler. So it was an accident that I think
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: could have happened to anybody. But I really felt like Yeah,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: they had a missed opportunity to actually criticize Derek and
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: like laugh. And he had a missed opportunity to laugh
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: at himself. You know what I mean? But whatever. That's
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: not a big deal. Whatever. I think tonight's episode, he'll
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: say something about it for sure. So anyway, even though
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the guys aren't dancing, I feel like he's going to
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: say something. Okay, so moving on. Dance three was Conor
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Levitt and Adele, who I'm sure you didn't. I'm going
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: to assume because you're new to the Dancing with the
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Stars family, but they just had a show called Dancing
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: with the Stars, The Next Pro. So Robert Irwin hosted
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: it and Adele was one of the next pros competing
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: and she won. And she was paired with Connor, who
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: is Whitney's wife from Mormon Wives. Okay.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: That much I know, Trista, because this is all feeling
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: very incestual as we go from The Bachelorette to Mormon
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Wives to Whitney, who.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I know from Mormon Wives.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: And then I saw clips of last season that she
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: just freaking smashed it on Dancing with the Stars.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: She was phenomenal.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: So I would not say that I had high hopes
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: for Connor because he gives me the The ick a little?
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I'm really sorry. Does he?
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not having midnight dreams of Connor, only Tyler. But
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: even in this dance, I loved his song choice, but
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: he's just a little too, like, magoo for me.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Understood. And I feel like he... So he does not
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: have any dance background. His wife, on the other hand,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: was a competitive dancer growing up. And as a competitive
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: dance mom... I know the Utah competitive dancers. A lot
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: of the Utah competitive dancers who compete as like teenagers
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: are from a specific dance studio that all of them
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: come from. Derek and Julianne, Jenna Johnson, Hailey Bills, Whitney, Lindsay, Riley,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: like all of these guys come from Utah. It is amazing.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: It's actually Ashley Costa was a pro on my season.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: And her mom owns the studio, Kim. She is a
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: lovely human. I love their family and this extended family.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Center Stage is the name of the dance studio. They
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: just know how to produce professional ballroom dancers.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like those Mormons know how to produce
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of things.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Stop.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: What?
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: It's true. They have beautiful hair.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: They end up on reality TV. All the sodas, the
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: different sodas. I could go on and on.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I digress. But they're doing something right up there. Maybe
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I need to hightail it up to Utah. You know
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Heck, yeah.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: And they're also the nicest people. They are. So I
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: will say I love their whole family. So Whitney comes
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: from a competitive dance ballroom or background. She is amazing.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Her and Mark Ballas. Oh my gosh. Their dances. The one,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: the finale dance. If you haven't watched it, you have
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: to go back and watch it. It was their.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I saw it. I did see that. Even though I
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: did see that. We're getting way off track. I feel
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: like we can talk about this until we're blue in
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: the face.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I did see that.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: And then I saw several of her stuff from her
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: performance in Chicago. But what I need to say to
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: you is that I'm not sure her... husband is measuring up. Uh,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: he did not do so hot last night. He was
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: doing the salsa. He only scored a 12 out of
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: 30 Trista. Yeah.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And honestly, I don't know that I've seen fours
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: before being given. Um, yeah, threes or fours. And we
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: had threes and fours last night.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, I told you I'm no professional dancer, but
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: like when I was watching him, I was like, Oh,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I like my shoulders kept getting closer and closer to
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: my ears.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, Oh no, no, no, no.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: You know what else I actually wanted to say about
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: their performance is that you can tell the pros who
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: have been on the show for a long time. So
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: the pros on this show are responsible for the choreography
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: and And if you look at the last pose for
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Adele and Connor, like, she ended up kind of... He
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: was kneeling, and she ended up kind of with her
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: leg on top. It was a very awkward pose, and
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I thought... That is not something that I feel like
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Whitney or Jenna or one of the pros would use
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: as their last pose.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you said this before, is that the chemistry
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: is very important. And we see that in some of
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: these pros. Like, we can start naming names, but, you know,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't see it between the two of them. But listen,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: to be honest, I don't see it between him and
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: his wife. So, like, what do I know? But, like,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: it just wasn't their thing.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: For me. It just wasn't there.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: He is not, I don't think dancing is in his future.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: No.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: And you know what? That's okay. It doesn't need to
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: be in everybody's future. You know, it's all good. I
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: love that he tried. And I will say, like, I
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: give props to all of these people because it is
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: so intimidating to be in the ballroom, especially if you've
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: never been a dancer before.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Trista, I am sitting here behind my computer screen. I mean,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: picking these people apart.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: You know, come on.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: It's all good. It's all good. We get it. Okay,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: so the next dance was Guillermo and Whitney. Guillermo is
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick from forever ago. He performed to Mr.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Big Stuff, did the cha-cha, and he did get two
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: threes and a four.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Painful.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty painful, but I will say I
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: love his outlook, like that he's like, listen, I just
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: want to have fun. I want to lose some weight.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: People are saying I want to lose, you know, that
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: you can lose a lot of weight on this show
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: because you rehearse nonstop. I love that he had his family,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: you know, his family was super supportive in the ballroom.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I love seeing that because this show is truly not
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: about all like dancers who have danced before Like we
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: said before, it's about people who are putting themselves out
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: there and doing something new and out of their comfort zone.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: And I give him props for that. He did get
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: two threes and a four. So he had the lowest
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: score of the night also that's a spoiler for the
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: rest of it but um he got a 10 out
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: of 30 so yeah um yeah we'll get into who
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: went home in a bit but um he did have
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: the lowest score.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about like let's just hit a couple of
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: your favorites from the night trista and and even touching
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: on a little bit on maybe who wasn't your favorite
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: but like let's hit like some high notes here Well, why.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Don't we get through? Let's get through all the rest
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: of them, and then I'm for sure going to touch
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: on my favorites. And maybe when we talk about them,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: I can say it, but I feel like Tyler definitely
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: came out the gate. I was like, I loved his dance.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I felt like the chemistry with him and Sharna was amazing.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Like we said, I think before we started recording today,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: You know, they start the show. This is a producer move.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: And I know it. You know it, even though you
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: were denying that you believe it, is from the Bachelorette.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Take the Bachelorette. They're going to have a guy come
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: out of the limo. First guy come out of the
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: limo is going to be a ringer, right? He's going
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: to be somebody who fans are going to want to see,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: who people can get behind, right? He's going to be exciting.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: And then the last one to come out of the
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: limo is also going to be really exciting. They're going
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: to want to be bookmarks, right? And so... Same thing
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: with Dancing with the Stars. They're going to have a
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: guy come out who has a really big fan base,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: who they know has a really great dance because they
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: saw it in dress rehearsal, and then they're going to
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: determine the lineup. And so they started with Emma and Jackson,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: who had a really strong performance, and then you'll see
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: in the end of the show who they picked for
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: the end. And then they'll fill in, sprinkle in everybody else.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: And so if that shows you anything, like the two
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: dancers who got the lowest scores were third and fourth,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: you know. And then we pick it back up and
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: the energy kind of comes back up. The next dance,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: speaking of the energy coming back up, is Ezra and Daniela. Oh, yeah.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: This was my favorite dance.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: So good.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Favorite dance. He, like, I literally have chills just thinking
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: about it. He's a Paralympic athlete. He lost his leg
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: when he was a child and his thing. I didn't
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: realize his hand too, which is also so hard. I mean,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: just if you, if you took away the fact that
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: he's a, he's an amputee, his leg is amputated and
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: just his hand, like he had his big toe cut.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Taken off when they amputated and put on his hand
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: so that he can grip, which was genius of that doctor.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I know. So his story, just first of all, fans
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: I know are falling in love with him. He's one
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: of those guys. You maybe have heard of, maybe not.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: But holy cow, he is one that I guarantee you,
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: his growth on social is going to go like this.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Because now that people know who he is, we are
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: all falling in love with him at the same time.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: We all love that story. It's the same thing on
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: all of the reality shows that we watch. We need
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: someone to cheer for. And as soon as he came out,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: and I'm being just like a regular viewer, Trista, not
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: having seen the show before. As soon as he came
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: out and they told even the smallest bit of his story,
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Like, well, Okay. I love him. I need him to
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: win and live forever and be president. You know what
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I mean? Right. Totally. Amazing. Amazing. And he did amazing
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: to see someone go out there. Amazing.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: I can't do it on my own two feet. To
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: see him go out there and freaking smash it. I
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: was just like, I was blown away. I was blown away. Same.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Same. Same. And the fact that Daniela, you know, as
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: a choreographer, she has to choreograph a number. But she
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: also has to, like, this is kind of the finesse
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: of the pros on the show, is they have to
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: create a number that not only includes all of the
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: things that they probably should include in the tango, in
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: the cha-cha, in the jive, in the quick step, whatever.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Have all of those technical elements, or a lot of them,
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: or as many as they can. But also... go to
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: the strengths of your, of your, of your celeb. So
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: the fact that he couldn't, you know, he tried both
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: of his legs, his, um, his prosthetics and the one
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: that they stuck with was the one that he uses
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: for running and he couldn't walk like straight. And in
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: the tango, that's, I guess something that you need to do.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: I never did the tango on the show, but it's
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: something that usually is pretty typical of the tango. Well,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: he had to kind of walk sideways and she's like,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: that's just what we're going to do. They modified it
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: so that they could, uh, lean in on his abilities
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: and his strengths. And I love that, that whole, that
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: whole notion that everyone can do this show no matter what,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: like he is a above the knee amputee, which is
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: a lot like they talked about Amy Purdy. She got
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: to the finals with Derek Hough and she's a below
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: the knee amputee. You have a whole lot more control
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: from what I understand as a past physical therapist being an,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: a below knee amputee compared to an above knee. Like he,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: he shined last night and their chemistry. Oh, I mean, she,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: it's hard for her to not have chemistry to Deanna
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: as a newbie. She was, you, you were talking about
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Tyler and how tall he is and everything. When you
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: want to talk tall, you look at Daniela and one
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: of her past pro or past celebs was an NBA player.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I cannot remember, remember his name, but he was on
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: special forces. He was on, I believe traders.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: So tall.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Like I want to say like seven and a half
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: feet tall or eight. He's so tall and she's tiny.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: And so, like, the difference. Yeah, I know. And they
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: made it work. And they made this work. Ezra and
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Daniela just shone last night.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: It was amazing.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Like, if that's dance for me, like, I'm sold. Like,
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: it was really, really, really great. So, one of my
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: other favorites from the night was Taylor Hansen, mostly because
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: I grew up listening to him. And I know I
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: text you separately, Trista, but, like, for everybody listening.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: He has seven children. They cannot even sit at one.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Like, in one row on an airplane. I was like,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: what's he doing with all those kids? And he's still
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: a kid.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? We grew up with these guys.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I like loved him.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: I think that if, if we're making predictions, Trista, like
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: I think he's good.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Well, tyler okay i love right we got.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Him here but like i think my hansen is gonna
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: go far like i i think that he was very
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: non-assuming i think he did well he didn't come out
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: of the gate like flashing stars yeah but i think
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: that he's a natural born performer obviously and i think
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: he's gonna do really well.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love that, and I think that you
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: are not alone in that. There's a guy named, I think,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Bobby Bones. He was on the show, and he has
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: predicted the last four years or something like that of
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the winners, and he said that Taylor is going to win,
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: or maybe it was the figure skater, the girl. I,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: as a dancer, I agree with you on the performance level,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: and he has a massive following.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, does he really?
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Massive following.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: So.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: I think that that will get him far in the show.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to win. I just feel
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: like he is not necessarily a dancer when you compare
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: dancing ability, but he is a great performer. So I
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: know that he's going to last long in the show.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: And so many of us, especially Ashley, I are such
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: huge fans of Hanson. So I feel like he's going
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: to stay for a really long time. And Britt, too.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe I have psychic abilities, but like what
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: happened with the flash forward for me was like, he's
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: going to do well. His career is going to revive.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: He's going to come out with a new album and
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: we're all going to be like, oh my.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: God, the Hanson brothers, they're back. It's fine. I'm here
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: for it. I will fangirl all night with you, Trista.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: It's all good.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: And then last was Harry Shum Jr. from Grey's Anatomy.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Glee.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: He's a backup dancer. He's paired with Jenna Johnson. Now,
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: I have to say, even if it wasn't someone who
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: had a professional dance background, I still think Jenna Johnson
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: is such a huge fan favorite that she's going to
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: stay for a while, even if she doesn't.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even I know who she is just from seeing
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: her on social media. But he was really amazing. Just
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: I didn't know who he was. And I'm a Grey's fan.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: When they go on set and he's in his Grey's
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: Anatomy coat, I'm like, who is that?
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Where'd he come from? Who's that man?
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: So it's funny that you said that because I'm like,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I'm a huge Grey's fan. I watch it, you know, currently,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: and I love him on the show. I think the
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: fact that he's filming Grey's during Dancing with the Stars
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: is also really hard, wild, but he a professional dancer,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: has that in his background. I love that his daughter
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: was in the audience, dressed to the nines. She looked adorable.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Their chemistry is amazing. And he got the highest scores
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: of the night.
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: I thought it was very well-deserved. Coming from someone who
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: knows nothing about dance, I thought it was very well-deserved.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: He blew me away.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I totally agree.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: So good.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Okay. So they get to, they do Julianne's dance and
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: then they get to the eliminations. And as you kind
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: of hinted to, yeah, it was Connor and Adele. And
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, honestly, Whitney was paired with Guillermo.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: She's pregnant. I think they knew that he probably wouldn't
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: last that long as the, you know, the casting directors, whatever.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: And I think Connor and Adele, like Adele is the
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: next pro. She was the new pro on the show.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: And I think They gave her, you know, this opportunity
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: and she'll stay on the show. She'll still be dancing.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: But I think they kind of, you know, think about
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: the casting. I was sad for Whitney because she was
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: all in. I'm sure you saw when they were, like,
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: Julianne was doing something and Whitney was behind her going like,
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: vote for Connor, go vote now. Yeah.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It was fine.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: I trust, I wasn't sad about it. I was like,
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: by Connor, I hope you, they're, they're going to be
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: just fine.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're going to be, they're going to be
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: just fine. It was time to see you go. It, the,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: the dance laid flat for me. So that's by, I
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: cannot wait to see more like dances and more eliminations.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Like I think I'm fully invested now. And then, uh,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: what tonight we get to see the women, right?
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: So excited.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I am actually really.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Excited for the women because I mean, men, obviously I
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: find attractive and I'm like enjoying looking at all these guys,
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: but like women move so beautifully to me and dance
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: in particular.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Women are just gorgeous. And I love to see the
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: way women move, but this will be the first time
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: for me where I get to see the two women
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: perform together. I know that is not new to the show,
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: but it is new to me. So I'm super stoked.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And they have a really strong partnership. I think Haley,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: is she comes from the world of competitive dance and
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: won everything in terms of competitions. She is so talented,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: and it seems like their chemistry is off the charts.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see more. I cannot wait to
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: see the ladies move. And you know what?
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: I'm just so happy to be podcasting with you.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: It brings me great joy. I love you so much.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Same, same. Right back at you. Thanks for listening, guys.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: We'll hopefully... Be seeing you or talking to you tomorrow.
