Transcript
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to Reality We've Got Thoughts.
- 0:41SPEAKER_00: We have got a lot to talk about today.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: We have a new new episode of Dancing with the Stars.
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: We've got Jeff Lewis, and we both had big college football weekends that we want to talk about.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: So this past weekend, I spent the weekend in Auburn again.
- 0:56SPEAKER_00: It was my daughter's parents' weekend for the university.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: So my husband was able to join us, and we had a fun Funfield Parents Weekend.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: There's just something about football in the South that you can't beat.
- 1:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was a good game.
- 1:09SPEAKER_02: Auburn won again.
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: Auburn won again.
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: It was good.
- 1:11SPEAKER_02: So that's well, I say won again.
- 1:13SPEAKER_02: They won again.
- 1:13SPEAKER_02: They didn't win against Florida last week, but they won again.
- 1:16SPEAKER_02: Now they're what, three and one?
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: They are.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: Well, and the fun thing for me is the traditions of college football.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: Uh the Eagle landing is one of my favorite, I think, all-time college traditions is when they fly the eagle out and the eagle flies around and everyone says, War Eagle as it lands.
- 1:32SPEAKER_02: War Eagle.
- 1:34SPEAKER_02: It was so cool because I didn't even really know about that until Sydney was going to go to Auburn.
- 1:40SPEAKER_02: And it's so fascinating because what is it, like a professor initially like years ago, it's like at least 50 years that they've been doing that, right?
- 1:48SPEAKER_02: Forever.
- 1:49SPEAKER_02: He rescued an eagle.
- 1:50SPEAKER_02: So now the cool thing is they have the entire um eagle rescue there, and they rescue and train all these eagles.
- 1:57SPEAKER_02: So every single game, the eagle flies.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: And it's usually a different eagle every game, and they do it in different points of the stadium that they pick off on for flight.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: So cool.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: It's just a really cool experience.
- 2:07SPEAKER_02: And they just land down in the middle with the trainers.
- 2:10SPEAKER_02: It's the coolest thing.
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: And another one of my favorite things is the stadium is full before kickoff.
- 2:15SPEAKER_02: Yes, the pre-game.
- 2:16SPEAKER_02: Where that you see empty seats before kickoff.
- 2:18SPEAKER_02: The pregame is so amazing.
- 2:20SPEAKER_02: It's so much fun.
- 2:22SPEAKER_02: I um the other thing is, of course, Auburn is the Tigers, but War Eagle's like the greeting.
- 2:27SPEAKER_02: It almost reminds me of like Aloha in Hawaii.
- 2:29SPEAKER_02: Like I had to learn that because when Sydney was first going there, we were on vacation and I had a visor on with Auburn on it, and I'm just walking on my trip, and some ladies came toward me, they're like, War Eagle! And I was I was taken back.
- 2:42SPEAKER_02: And Patrick said, You're supposed to answer back, War Eagle.
- 2:44SPEAKER_02: So that's been it's fun.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: And if you notice, any you can be anywhere, like on vacation, or if you're walking through the airport and you've got Auburn gear on, and you get the War Eagle, or yeah, it's so cool.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: It's pretty cool.
- 2:56SPEAKER_02: And I was glad, like you said, it was um it was choice, like it wasn't a theme, so you guys got to dress with what you wanted.
- 3:02SPEAKER_02: You looked good.
- 3:03SPEAKER_02: We posted on our Instagram.
- 3:04SPEAKER_02: If you don't follow us, you need to follow us at reality we've got thoughts.
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: And we posted a picture of our weekend college fits.
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: I um I mentioned last week that Coastal Carolina, who I follow with my husband and go to all the home games, they had a Thursday night game.
- 3:20SPEAKER_02: Sadly, they lost.
- 3:21SPEAKER_02: I didn't have as good an outcome as you did at your football game.
- 3:24SPEAKER_02: But it looked good.
- 3:25SPEAKER_02: But thank you.
- 3:26SPEAKER_02: I looked good.
- 3:27SPEAKER_02: I had a cute shirt on and I had to change my outfit because it was cool.
- 3:32SPEAKER_02: And um, you know, I feel like I'm like leaning into fall a little bit.
- 3:36SPEAKER_02: Of course, here in the south, I feel like we're being teased.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: We get teased, we get fake fall by having cool mornings and then it heats up to 80, 90 degrees in the afternoon.
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: So it's fall, but it's not.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: We had some we've had some really good weather where it started getting cold.
- 3:49SPEAKER_02: It's time to pull out a little bit of sweaters and stuff.
- 3:52SPEAKER_02: So maybe throw on the sweater in the morning and by two o'clock you're like sweating to death.
- 3:57SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 3:57SPEAKER_02: So since I had a Thursday night game, I was home this weekend, my husband went fishing, I played Mahjong outside.
- 4:05SPEAKER_02: Mahjong's our other big fashion.
- 4:07SPEAKER_02: We like Pilates, we like shopping, we like Mahjong, reality TV.
- 4:11SPEAKER_02: So it was great.
- 4:13SPEAKER_02: We've settled into midlife.
- 4:14SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 4:15SPEAKER_02: And my gators, I'm a Florida gator, so my gators, we are back, baby.
- 4:19SPEAKER_02: I feel like we are big weekend.
- 4:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, loving John Summerall.
- 4:23SPEAKER_02: If anybody was wondering what he was gonna do as the coach, the gators have started off to an amazing season.
- 4:29SPEAKER_02: They are now four and oh, they beat Ole Miss, so that is super exciting.
- 4:35SPEAKER_02: So I watched that from the comfort of my own home, and in between was like cleaning my closet, pulling out fall stuff and all that.
- 4:43SPEAKER_02: I was trying to be productive since I was actually home this weekend and it was beautiful.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: I ate a lot this weekend.
- 4:49SPEAKER_02: Oh, is there good food?
- 4:50SPEAKER_02: Did you go to one of the good restaurants while you were there?
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: We did um Lucy's for brunch.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: Ooh, which is one of my favorite.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: It's so good.
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: And we just we grabbed a burger after the game at Amsterdam.
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: Oh, I think before all the heavy traffic.
- 5:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 5:05SPEAKER_02: That's one thing.
- 5:06SPEAKER_02: If you don't know, if you ever get to Auburn, man, the food is good.
- 5:09SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's just because of the culinary school that Auburn has or what, but the food scene is amazing.
- 5:17SPEAKER_02: So many options.
- 5:17SPEAKER_02: They have so many great restaurants.
- 5:19SPEAKER_02: So you didn't go to 140 grill this time.
- 5:21SPEAKER_02: We didn't make it to 140.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: We um No, it it was Parents' Weekend.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: So everyone's book something out months in advance when it was weekend, it's and it was homecoming, so it's crazy for me to even get any.
- 5:33SPEAKER_00: We were lucky to get what we did get.
- 5:36SPEAKER_02: Well, that's good.
- 5:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 5:37SPEAKER_02: So something that's been in the news in the last like 24 hours, if you at all follow pop culture, you've probably heard about this.
- 5:44SPEAKER_02: Speaking of college, somebody who went to the University of Miami and apparently has never read a book.
- 5:49SPEAKER_02: A book, a single book.
- 5:51SPEAKER_02: Did you guys hear about this?
- 5:53SPEAKER_02: It's crazy.
- 5:54SPEAKER_02: So Alex Earl claims she's never read a book.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: Do you believe it?
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't know.
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: Do you think she was being facetious, or do you think she legitimately has not read a book?
- 6:07SPEAKER_02: It's like like you were saying before, does she mean like she hasn't read a novel?
- 6:12SPEAKER_02: She has to have read some sort of book.
- 6:14SPEAKER_02: She hasn't read a whole book.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: This generation of kids, everything's at their fingertips on their phone so they can listen to it.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: So maybe she really hasn't.
- 6:22SPEAKER_02: I do feel like even me as an adult, Patrick and I both were huge readers.
- 6:27SPEAKER_02: And I find it hard for me sometimes to have the attention to read books.
- 6:30SPEAKER_02: I have a stack of books that I want to read.
- 6:33SPEAKER_02: On a recent trip, I read two books in one vacation because I felt like I finally had time to sit and relax.
- 6:41SPEAKER_02: Now, when you read, are you do you like reading on your phone or a camera?
- 6:45SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: I have to have a physical book in there.
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: I know that I can flip the pages, I can see how many pages I have left to the end.
- 6:51SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 6:51SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 6:51SPEAKER_02: I'm still old school.
- 6:53SPEAKER_02: I'm still old school.
- 6:54SPEAKER_00: I'm lucky that both my daughters feel like we stare at a screen so much of the time that I don't want to be staring at a screen.
- 7:01SPEAKER_02: No, I like a book.
- 7:03SPEAKER_02: I like a good old-fashioned book.
- 7:04SPEAKER_02: I like to turn the pages, I like a bookmark.
- 7:06SPEAKER_02: Agreed.
- 7:07SPEAKER_02: And I want to and I want to read.
- 7:09SPEAKER_02: So I'm I guess I'm lucky.
- 7:11SPEAKER_02: Both my daughters do read.
- 7:12SPEAKER_02: I'm sure now, like when they're in college, they're probably busy.
- 7:14SPEAKER_02: But Sydney, my older daughter, like we even added this bookshelf for her because she had so many books because she's the same way.
- 7:21SPEAKER_02: She wants to read a physical book.
- 7:23SPEAKER_02: But see, I did not raise readers.
- 7:25SPEAKER_00: They don't love to read.
- 7:26SPEAKER_00: None of my kids love to read.
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: I'm hoping that later in life that they'll pick it up.
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: And they may.
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: But they're not.
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: My husband's a big reader.
- 7:32SPEAKER_00: He's up constantly reading something new.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: Um, our reading styles differ very quite a bit.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: Um, I like mindless entertainment, something that's gonna entertain me.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: He likes historical fiction, or I mean historical um nonfiction.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:48SPEAKER_02: So I used to go back and read some historical nonfiction.
- 7:53SPEAKER_02: I'll have to read one of Mike's books.
- 7:55SPEAKER_02: I loved history.
- 7:56SPEAKER_02: I had the most amazing history professor at the University of Florida, but then that same thing, I went to reading a lot of fiction.
- 8:02SPEAKER_02: I used to love Stephen King.
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: That's what's crazy.
- 8:04SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
- 8:05SPEAKER_02: Is now I read every Stephen King book as a young person, like preteen teens, and now I hate horror.
- 8:12SPEAKER_02: Like I don't like anything.
- 8:13SPEAKER_02: Do you like horror movies or scary movies?
- 8:15SPEAKER_02: No, I've never liked horror movies.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: I do not like I've never liked haunted houses, I've never liked horror movies.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: I, when I was 12 years old, I was babysitting, and my family didn't have HBO, but they did, and it's when Poltergeist came out.
- 8:28SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm in the basement of these people's house, and I'm babysitting their grandkids.
- 8:34SPEAKER_00: I didn't even know the people that were, it's our grandkids that were there.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: And I made the mistake of watching poltergeist.
- 8:39SPEAKER_00: I have never been more terrified in my life.
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
- 8:43SPEAKER_00: So no, that did it for me.
- 8:45SPEAKER_00: I'm done.
- 8:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, I watched Kujo, Children of the Corn, all of that stuff, Pet Cemetery.
- 8:52SPEAKER_02: I can't now I think back, that is not my genre now.
- 8:55SPEAKER_02: No.
- 8:55SPEAKER_02: It's probably why I love reality TV so much.
- 8:58SPEAKER_02: I think so.
- 8:59SPEAKER_02: So certainly far from horror was Dancing with the Stars last night.
- 9:05SPEAKER_02: It's the farthest thing from horror we're gonna get right now.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: So, what did you think?
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: Were you we were excited about Yacht Rock?
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: We were excited about Yacht Rock.
- 9:11SPEAKER_00: The music I love, although I felt like they butchered so many of the songs.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: Did you gather that from the song?
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 9:18SPEAKER_02: Sorry, I had to get my direction up.
- 9:21SPEAKER_00: It's hard to listen to someone else sing a song that you love and not do it well.
- 9:27SPEAKER_02: And I feel bad because I was thinking the same thing, but the band, they the musicians on Dancing with the Stars are talented.
- 9:36SPEAKER_02: They are good, but it's very hard to play these songs that have been like the soundtrack of our lives that we have heard for decades and hear it in a weird.
- 9:44SPEAKER_02: Especially an iconic song that you just hear over and over again.
- 9:47SPEAKER_02: But I guess the other thing why it would be hard.
- 9:49SPEAKER_02: I I having the live musicians is probably true.
- 9:53SPEAKER_02: It is true to the ballroom, to like the real high level.
- 9:56SPEAKER_02: And it would be more difficult for them to do the remixes because obviously the songs have to all be remixed for time and the dances and all of that.
- 10:04SPEAKER_02: What did you think of the intro of the goofy little intro they did at the beginning of the show?
- 10:08SPEAKER_00: It was super goofy.
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: It was like watching um The Love Boat or something.
- 10:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:14SPEAKER_02: A little cheesy.
- 10:15SPEAKER_02: I appreciated the effort and it was kind of it was funny and cute, but I was like, okay, get get over that.
- 10:20SPEAKER_02: Um, but you know, like we said, it's a go-to playlist for me.
- 10:24SPEAKER_02: It's my genre, so I was really looking forward to it.
- 10:28SPEAKER_02: And Julianne, her outfit was a hit.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 10:32SPEAKER_00: I thought she looked beautiful.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: I was a little nervous that she was gonna try and do something from the 70s or throw something in yacht rockish, but she she I thought she nailed it.
- 10:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think she went a little more for like the Studio 57 vibe, like a little, you know, it reminded me of you know something from Scar, like Michelle Pfeiffer and Scarface kind of look.
- 10:51SPEAKER_02: It does amaze me how she manages to look like a completely different person every time she comes out.
- 10:57SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 10:58SPEAKER_02: I don't know that I could have picked her out of a lineup last night with the eye makeup.
- 11:02SPEAKER_02: It was beautiful.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: She's it was just a different look for her, a totally different look for her.
- 11:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 11:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 11:07SPEAKER_02: It was I thought she looked great.
- 11:08SPEAKER_02: So I had to make a note on Alfonso's look last night.
- 11:12SPEAKER_02: Thanks, Alfonso.
- 11:13SPEAKER_02: Like I thought that was a great color for him.
- 11:17SPEAKER_02: It was a great color.
- 11:18SPEAKER_02: I loved his suit.
- 11:19SPEAKER_02: I thought he looked great.
- 11:20SPEAKER_02: Like I, you know, I figured we'd been saying enough about Julianne, so I wanted to he's never worn anything to criticize, though.
- 11:27SPEAKER_02: No, he he always looks good.
- 11:29SPEAKER_02: Not that we want to be critical, but yeah, I will always, I will always love him.
- 11:33SPEAKER_02: In the words of Whitney Houston, I will always love him.
- 11:36SPEAKER_02: Did you were you a Fresh Prince of Bel Air fan?
- 11:38SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 11:39SPEAKER_02: I think I saw every episode like 17 times.
- 11:42SPEAKER_02: So I I love him, and then we'll get to Tatiana later, speaking of Fresh Prince.
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: But um, all right, so should we get into it?
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: Let's get into it.
- 11:49SPEAKER_00: So our first dance of the night was Pasha and Amber.
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: They did the foxtrot.
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: Um, her leg extensions are beautiful, they are absolutely gorgeous, I feel like.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: And um, you know, we talked a little bit last time about how her personality probably isn't gonna get her through, but I saw more of her personality come out this time, so I was impressed with that.
- 12:08SPEAKER_02: I agree, I agree.
- 12:10SPEAKER_02: She is so talented, she's so athletic, um, and I liked it.
- 12:15SPEAKER_02: I liked the song and all that.
- 12:18SPEAKER_02: So that basically the judges said, you know, Derek was like, and the ice queen does it again.
- 12:23SPEAKER_02: Bruno said like a glass of the finest champagne.
- 12:26SPEAKER_02: Carrie Ann said she was seeing some true growth from her.
- 12:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: So they got positive.
- 12:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:31SPEAKER_02: And they got huge scores right out of the gate, right?
- 12:34SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 12:34SPEAKER_02: All eight.
- 12:35SPEAKER_00: Which makes it hard for anyone following them to beat it.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: So we got all eight, so they would have a 24 and they did yep.
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:42SPEAKER_00: That one was a good one.
- 12:43SPEAKER_00: Um, next up was Julia Ezra, and they did the salsa.
- 12:49SPEAKER_00: She was definitely much more relaxed this time.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 12:53SPEAKER_00: Because I feel like she's had kind of a history of just being a little stiff, like she's just thinking it through and thinking the next step too hard, and she seemed a lot more relaxed.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: And I think the judges picked up on that as well.
- 13:03SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 13:03SPEAKER_02: She was overcoming an injury in the practice they showed her with her rib hurting and all of that.
- 13:09SPEAKER_02: Something I thought was interesting is she talked about the vulnerability of this.
- 13:13SPEAKER_02: She compared doing this type of performance to acting, and she brought up a good point where in acting, you've got a script, then you've got a director and an editor kind of protecting you, and then the performance is done and over with by the time it goes public.
- 13:29SPEAKER_02: Whereas this is something so raw.
- 13:30SPEAKER_02: When you think of them practicing, doing the dress rehearsal run through, and then going out there live.
- 13:35SPEAKER_02: Um, so I liked, I thought that was a fascinating insight into what's going on in her mind.
- 13:41SPEAKER_02: Agreed.
- 13:42SPEAKER_02: They didn't score as well though.
- 13:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was um, especially after coming out with those eights, they did um, you know, Bruno said, Oh yes, Julia, you you awoke at a spice girl, no airs, looks like you're having fun.
- 13:56SPEAKER_02: Um Carrie Ann mentioned what you did, that she thought that she liked it and that she saw that she gave herself permission to kind of let go.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: Uh she she did need to keep her feet together.
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: That was one comment that um Derek made that she needs to keep her feet together, so maybe that's where the lower score came in.
- 14:13SPEAKER_00: Um but I thought I thought it was great.
- 14:15SPEAKER_02: And that will probably serve her well in the future if she does listen to that.
- 14:18SPEAKER_02: So she only got a 6-6-7.
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: I think she genuinely wants to learn and get better.
- 14:23SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:25SPEAKER_00: All right, moving on to Guillermo and Whitney.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: I just love him.
- 14:32SPEAKER_00: Like he's just so fun and comes alive when he gets out there, and he knows he's not gonna win.
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: He knows he's not gonna be the favorite of the judges, but he is definitely a proud favorite, I think.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: And he said, I'm dancing for the fans.
- 14:46SPEAKER_00: And and the judges even said, You're clearly not dancing for the judges.
- 14:50SPEAKER_00: He barely moves.
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: He does.
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: He barely moves.
- 14:53SPEAKER_00: He probably can't.
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: He probably doesn't know how.
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: He barely moves.
- 14:57SPEAKER_02: Carrie Ann said what you said that he's not dancing for the judges, but you impressed me, you have balance and And I can tell you're working really hard.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: So I do.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: I think he is working hard.
- 15:07SPEAKER_00: He's just funny to me.
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: He's not gonna last long, but for the time being, he's entertaining.
- 15:11SPEAKER_02: So he only got 15 out of 30, which might have even been high.
- 15:14SPEAKER_02: I don't know that I would have to.
- 15:16SPEAKER_02: Well, and poor Whitney, I'm sure she just wants to be done.
- 15:18SPEAKER_02: Who wants to be out there dancing while they're pregnant?
- 15:20SPEAKER_02: No.
- 15:21SPEAKER_02: No.
- 15:21SPEAKER_02: She just wants to be I'm getting tired of this Nepo baby.
- 15:24SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: All right, Tatiana, our our um golden girl with Alfonso.
- 15:32SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 15:33SPEAKER_02: They did a quick step to Man Eater by Holland Oates, which of course I love Holland Oates.
- 15:38SPEAKER_00: Which I thought she's shown in this one.
- 15:40SPEAKER_00: She she just came alive in this one.
- 15:43SPEAKER_00: And it was her best yet, I think.
- 15:46SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 15:47SPEAKER_02: I dare say that I absolutely loved it.
- 15:49SPEAKER_02: I love the song.
- 15:50SPEAKER_02: Um, she looked great.
- 15:52SPEAKER_02: It was so entertaining.
- 15:53SPEAKER_02: As I was watching it before I saw what the judges said, I was like, it looks good to me.
- 15:57SPEAKER_02: I'm not a technical dance judge, but I love the outfit, all of that.
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: I think I'm a technical dance judge.
- 16:03SPEAKER_00: I pretend I am.
- 16:04SPEAKER_02: You know a lot more than I do.
- 16:05SPEAKER_02: You know more than that.
- 16:06SPEAKER_02: But I'm not a dancer.
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: If anyone missed it in past episodes, your daughter danced it entire life, and she would pick up on a lot of the technical that I wouldn't.
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: Like what looks good to me, she'll be like, oh, their feet were turned the wrong way.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 16:18SPEAKER_02: And you've watched the show a lot more closely than I know.
- 16:22SPEAKER_02: So I I I bow to you to that.
- 16:24SPEAKER_02: I think I think you do.
- 16:26SPEAKER_02: And um and I feel like I love her more and more every week.
- 16:29SPEAKER_02: I do too.
- 16:29SPEAKER_00: I I I think she is the most fragile because of what she's trying to prove to herself.
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: And you didn't see any of that this week.
- 16:40SPEAKER_00: She was much more confident.
- 16:41SPEAKER_02: So the judges really liked it.
- 16:43SPEAKER_02: Um, Carrie Ann said she was so dynamic and polished and light on her feet, fabulous.
- 16:48SPEAKER_02: I really enjoyed it.
- 16:49SPEAKER_02: And they ended up getting all sevens, 21 out of 30, which they were thrilled with, which was great.
- 16:55SPEAKER_02: And the cutest thing was how Alfonso like hugged her at the end and said, you know, it's the phase of a proud, proud big brother.
- 17:03SPEAKER_02: So that was cool.
- 17:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that church was good.
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: All right, let's move on to Harry and Jenna.
- 17:10SPEAKER_00: Um, it was interesting in their pre, in their, you know, warm-up training videos, how she was saying, I don't want you to be marked down because you had previous dance experience.
- 17:19SPEAKER_00: I don't want that to play against you.
- 17:20SPEAKER_00: And I feel like it kind of did this week.
- 17:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: They did a drive.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: I loved it.
- 17:27SPEAKER_00: I he's a showman, he's got the personality out there, he's got the acting skills that he needs to be kind of a showman out there on the floor.
- 17:34SPEAKER_00: But I feel like the judges hold back a little on him because of his prior dance experience.
- 17:40SPEAKER_00: They still scored great.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: Judges liked it.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: Uh, it was a proper drive, Derek said.
- 17:46SPEAKER_00: Great athleticism, and that he definitely made a statement, and they did get all straight eights from all the stuff.
- 17:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they they scored very high.
- 17:53SPEAKER_02: What did you think when Bruno said you're sailing right off to Broadway?
- 17:57SPEAKER_02: At first, I thought, is that an insult or not?
- 18:00SPEAKER_02: And he was like, Oh, but in a good way.
- 18:02SPEAKER_02: I think he's foreshadowing something, maybe.
- 18:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 18:05SPEAKER_02: Like maybe Harry's got a Broadway stint.
- 18:07SPEAKER_02: Coming back to his d you know, because he has a a dance background.
- 18:12SPEAKER_02: Um, I mean, it looked good and everything.
- 18:14SPEAKER_02: It just wasn't my favorite.
- 18:16SPEAKER_02: Part of what I want is just to feel a certain way when I see the performances.
- 18:21SPEAKER_02: I wasn't getting that from him last night.
- 18:23SPEAKER_02: I didn't get it from any dance last night.
- 18:26SPEAKER_00: I finished I finished the show and was like Really, huh?
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: It was just okay.
- 18:31SPEAKER_02: Tatiana was the only one, and maybe it's just because I had felt like you said, like I feel like now I'm rooting for her.
- 18:37SPEAKER_02: I want her to do well.
- 18:39SPEAKER_02: So that was my only one.
- 18:41SPEAKER_00: All right, moving on to Taylor and Britt.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: Did the foxtrot.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: What a fool, please.
- 18:47SPEAKER_00: His hair was so much better this week.
- 18:49SPEAKER_02: His hair just keeps getting better.
- 18:50SPEAKER_02: First they cut it, now they're back, right?
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 18:53SPEAKER_00: Much better, but he's hard to watch dance.
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: He just doesn't seem comfortable.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's very uncomfortable for him.
- 19:00SPEAKER_00: He's trying, I feel like.
- 19:02SPEAKER_00: Um, Derek said he was holding his frame up and it was his best dance yet.
- 19:06SPEAKER_00: So it's we frame frame up.
- 19:09SPEAKER_02: Did you feel like he was squatting his knees too much?
- 19:11SPEAKER_02: He looked like he was getting down.
- 19:13SPEAKER_02: I don't to me, again, I'm not a technical dance person.
- 19:16SPEAKER_02: He looked like he was squatting his knees too much when they were doing the actual.
- 19:21SPEAKER_00: He's just insecure with the height difference.
- 19:23SPEAKER_00: I I don't know.
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: He's not that much they're I don't know.
- 19:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 19:27SPEAKER_02: So his his um scores were all sixes, 18 out of 30.
- 19:32SPEAKER_02: So he scored better than Guillermo, but not, you know, not as good as some of the other dancers that have come out.
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: Um Mara and Mark, I love them.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: I love their the pairing of the two of them together.
- 19:46SPEAKER_00: It's clear that they have a prior relationship because it shows in the chemistry that they have with each other on the floor.
- 19:52SPEAKER_02: And I've said it before, but if you haven't watched their trader's season, you could definitely go back and watch it and probably love it and enjoy it, or fast forward through some of it or whatever.
- 20:02SPEAKER_02: But they I really loved them on there, and I'm glad that they were paired together.
- 20:07SPEAKER_00: And I love the quick step.
- 20:09SPEAKER_00: I love the quick step.
- 20:10SPEAKER_00: And Derek's comment, it was a quick step masterclass in elegance.
- 20:14SPEAKER_00: Top line is exquisite, which I just loved it.
- 20:17SPEAKER_00: Her arm, like it was too hard.
- 20:19SPEAKER_00: She was so good.
- 20:20SPEAKER_00: Normally you'd hold it out and she kept her arm up, which we need to take dance classes to know like how hard that is.
- 20:27SPEAKER_02: Because I was lifting weights in Pilates today, so I would be ready.
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: I did a lot of arms in Pilates.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: So she was it was beautiful though.
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: Bruno even um referenced Audrey Hepburn.
- 20:42SPEAKER_02: Yes, and he loved it because he gave an eight, even though the other two judges only gave sevens.
- 20:46SPEAKER_02: So 22 out of 30.
- 20:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 20:48SPEAKER_02: All right, who we got next?
- 20:50SPEAKER_00: Sierra.
- 20:51SPEAKER_00: Sierra and Brandon.
- 20:52SPEAKER_00: They did the cha-cha.
- 20:54SPEAKER_02: Never too much, never too much.
- 20:56SPEAKER_00: It was fun and entertaining.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: I thought it was fun and entertaining.
- 20:59SPEAKER_00: However, there were some mistakes in it.
- 21:02SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 21:03SPEAKER_02: I loved it.
- 21:04SPEAKER_02: I love the costume.
- 21:05SPEAKER_02: Um maybe I'm getting too old.
- 21:08SPEAKER_02: I didn't think she had to be quite as naked.
- 21:10SPEAKER_02: She's a beautiful girl, she's got a great body.
- 21:13SPEAKER_02: And I'm just maybe I'm just being I know some of the costumes.
- 21:17SPEAKER_02: But see, a lot of the times when the costumes have that, they've got like that dance vibe with the mesh going on.
- 21:23SPEAKER_02: But hers was literally the strings.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: She looks great.
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: I kind of felt that way though with Daniela's last week, how she had the sides open, her hips open.
- 21:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:32SPEAKER_00: But it worked for that dance.
- 21:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 21:35SPEAKER_02: So she definitely looked, she's definitely looked good.
- 21:39SPEAKER_02: The judges did not score her as high as I thought they were gonna be based on their comments, right?
- 21:46SPEAKER_00: That and she's a hard read for me.
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: Her face is always so stoic when the judges are giving their feedback.
- 21:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's hard to tell what's going on with her.
- 21:55SPEAKER_00: So I don't know if she's just bracing herself to get criticism and she just doesn't want to cry or react to it, or if she's just so nervous and I don't know.
- 22:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:05SPEAKER_00: She's a hard read for me.
- 22:06SPEAKER_00: So she got 18 out of 30.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:09SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 22:10SPEAKER_00: Jackson and Emma did the pasta doble.
- 22:13SPEAKER_00: Which is a hard dance.
- 22:14SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 22:15SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of intensity.
- 22:16SPEAKER_02: And your face has to be intense and you have to um Phil Collins, easy lover.
- 22:21SPEAKER_02: Of course, nobody is allowed to say anything bad about Phil Collins around me.
- 22:25SPEAKER_02: You know, so I love the song.
- 22:28SPEAKER_02: Um I can just submit right here that I'm completely biased.
- 22:32SPEAKER_02: I want him to do well, and he's just not doing great.
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: I wanted to love him.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: And he's like he's so entertaining on the little Savannah Bananas TikToks and all that.
- 22:45SPEAKER_00: There's an element missing.
- 22:46SPEAKER_02: Well, I will say one thing that I noticed this week that kind of upsets me.
- 22:50SPEAKER_02: We talked about his teeth and him coming out and explaining his teeth.
- 22:53SPEAKER_02: He obviously explained that because people must have been making negative comments.
- 22:57SPEAKER_02: I felt like he has dampened his personality on the show.
- 23:00SPEAKER_02: He's nervous now.
- 23:01SPEAKER_02: He was nervous, he's protective, he's more guarded, he was more just genuine in the beginning.
- 23:07SPEAKER_02: And um and also they are doing a crazy hard schedule.
- 23:11SPEAKER_02: They are going, um, they are going back and forth.
- 23:15SPEAKER_02: Like have you seen all of them?
- 23:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 23:19SPEAKER_02: And then she's jumping out there with him and performing at the Savannah Banana games with him.
- 23:24SPEAKER_02: So they're just while he's on the road.
- 23:25SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 23:26SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
- 23:27SPEAKER_02: And then and then help promote everything.
- 23:29SPEAKER_00: So and not only that, most of these dancers don't have dance backgrounds.
- 23:35SPEAKER_00: So to learn choreography in a week and remember that choreography.
- 23:40SPEAKER_02: And he obviously does a lot of oh sorry, go ahead.
- 23:42SPEAKER_02: But it's different choreography, what do you think?
- 23:43SPEAKER_02: That's what I was gonna say.
- 23:44SPEAKER_02: You're absolutely right.
- 23:45SPEAKER_02: It's not as very different.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:47SPEAKER_02: So I was not happy because I thought the judges were way too hard on him.
- 23:53SPEAKER_02: I did too.
- 23:53SPEAKER_02: The judges were the hardest on him of anybody else.
- 23:56SPEAKER_02: It made me really sad because now, like I said, I feel like he's not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning, and I thought the judges were too hard on him.
- 24:04SPEAKER_02: And why did like everybody else, even if they would like say something negative, they would give him like the compliment sandwich?
- 24:09SPEAKER_02: Or didn't get any of that.
- 24:10SPEAKER_02: He got no compliments.
- 24:11SPEAKER_02: They were straight up almost rude to him.
- 24:14SPEAKER_02: So I was feeling really um And he's young, he's still pretty young.
- 24:18SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 24:18SPEAKER_02: And this, yeah.
- 24:20SPEAKER_02: And Julianne was like, We want to know how you're feeling after the judge's comments and the scores.
- 24:25SPEAKER_00: What are you supposed to say?
- 24:26SPEAKER_02: What are you supposed to say?
- 24:28SPEAKER_02: But he was positive.
- 24:29SPEAKER_02: He said, I just want to keep improving, it's a journey.
- 24:32SPEAKER_02: I mean, what the hell does she think he's gonna say?
- 24:34SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 24:35SPEAKER_02: Like, I didn't like that.
- 24:36SPEAKER_02: But they did ask.
- 24:40SPEAKER_00: Someone's probably just putting it in the teleprompter.
- 24:42SPEAKER_00: I don't think her questions are scripted.
- 24:44SPEAKER_00: I think some of them are, but I think she speaks off the cuff, and when she speaks off the cuff is when it's a fail like that.
- 24:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because it's just not nice.
- 24:51SPEAKER_02: I just they talk about dancing with the stars being this big family and all this stuff, but I feel like some sort of bias against him.
- 24:59SPEAKER_00: Uh agreed.
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: And I don't know if it's the if he got backlash about his teeth and that's what they're looking at, and they're like, oh, we need to get rid of him.
- 25:06SPEAKER_00: He's not getting enough attention.
- 25:07SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 25:10SPEAKER_02: But I would think that he would keep going because of his following.
- 25:14SPEAKER_02: He needs his followers to vote.
- 25:15SPEAKER_02: He needs to get on his TikTok.
- 25:16SPEAKER_02: He's a huge followers.
- 25:17SPEAKER_02: And he needs to get the followers to vote.
- 25:19SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 25:19SPEAKER_02: They scored him way higher than the comments would have thought.
- 25:22SPEAKER_02: They gave him all sixes.
- 25:24SPEAKER_02: Agreed.
- 25:25SPEAKER_02: Which was a lot more than how than how rude they were to him.
- 25:29SPEAKER_02: Agreed.
- 25:29SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 25:29SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 25:30SPEAKER_02: I'm off my Jackson soapbox for now.
- 25:32SPEAKER_02: But I, like I said, I'm full disclosure, I am biased because I like them and now I feel bad for them.
- 25:38SPEAKER_02: I think they're trying to beat me down.
- 25:39SPEAKER_02: I expect more.
- 25:40SPEAKER_02: Jackson, do not let them beat you down.
- 25:44SPEAKER_02: Thank you, Mau.
- 25:46SPEAKER_00: You probably could, I'm sure I could be his mom.
- 25:48SPEAKER_00: Connor and Riley.
- 25:50SPEAKER_00: They did the foxtrot.
- 25:52SPEAKER_00: I was, I'll be honest, I was super nervous after watching the rehearsals because the rehearsals were a disaster that it was going to be a dance floor.
- 25:58SPEAKER_00: I was pleasantly surprised once they got on the dance floor.
- 26:01SPEAKER_00: And I just love her bubbly personality.
- 26:03SPEAKER_00: You can't help but love Riley as a pro.
- 26:06SPEAKER_00: She's good.
- 26:06SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 26:07SPEAKER_02: She's like your favorite, right?
- 26:08SPEAKER_02: Is she your alt?
- 26:09SPEAKER_02: Or no, one of your favorites.
- 26:10SPEAKER_00: Daniela's probably my favorite pro.
- 26:11SPEAKER_00: I just think she's so incre they're all incredibly talented, but Daniela, just what she can do with her talent, just amazes me.
- 26:17SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
- 26:18SPEAKER_00: Anyway, back to Connor and Riley.
- 26:20SPEAKER_00: Um, Connor's got a huge following.
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: Um I I was one of the biggest.
- 26:26SPEAKER_00: I was pleasantly surprised.
- 26:27SPEAKER_00: It was, I thought it was very good.
- 26:28SPEAKER_00: Derek commented, they had beautiful arms and control.
- 26:31SPEAKER_00: He loves the partnership, which I love their partnership together.
- 26:34SPEAKER_00: They really do work well together.
- 26:37SPEAKER_00: Um, Carrie Ann said he wasn't quite leading, but supporting his partner with genuine care.
- 26:45SPEAKER_00: And what more can you ask?
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: I don't know what that means, but that's okay.
- 26:49SPEAKER_00: I mean it's I guess I do.
- 26:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:50SPEAKER_00: He wasn't leading, he was letting Riley lead them in the dance versus him leading, but then he was leading Riley like he just really loved her and cared about her and wanted her to get it.
- 26:59SPEAKER_02: And I noticed this week the judges started mentioning to a lot of the male contestants about the leading.
- 27:05SPEAKER_02: And I would think that now we're getting further into the competition where they are trying to get them to kind of step up on some of those more technical things that they need to be doing in ballroom dance.
- 27:15SPEAKER_00: Which is hard when there's only stuff in one week to remember the choreography and then the leading that you kind of rely on your professional to lead you along the way.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: So I think the men have a disadvantage in that way.
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 27:26SPEAKER_00: Because they need to be the ones leading, but they're relying so heavily on their partners to help guide them along.
- 27:31SPEAKER_02: They are all still very new, very new at this.
- 27:35SPEAKER_00: Uh, Janet and Val, so then we fast forward to them.
- 27:38SPEAKER_00: They did the samba.
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: I had a hard time telling which one was the pro on that one.
- 27:43SPEAKER_00: I thought it was beautiful.
- 27:45SPEAKER_00: I didn't even pick up on the mistake.
- 27:48SPEAKER_02: I didn't yeah, I didn't either.
- 27:49SPEAKER_02: I thought it was great.
- 27:50SPEAKER_02: I mean, the song's great.
- 27:52SPEAKER_02: She's very good.
- 27:53SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 27:54SPEAKER_02: I could actually, but I actually did you when um when Carrie Ann said, I think you're pushing too hard.
- 28:00SPEAKER_02: I kind of knew what Carrie Ann meant meant.
- 28:03SPEAKER_02: She doesn't have to push this hard because she's already good.
- 28:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:06SPEAKER_02: I think she's trying to prove something too much.
- 28:08SPEAKER_02: I think Carrie Ann's right, even though some people took that like, oh, why would you say that?
- 28:12SPEAKER_02: But I also thought Jenna was so smart afterwards when they asked her about that, and she's like, The way she handled the feedback.
- 28:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:21SPEAKER_02: She's like, I thought I'm very thoughtful about the judge's comments.
- 28:24SPEAKER_02: I want, you know, I want to improve.
- 28:25SPEAKER_00: Well, and think about it.
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: She I mean, she danced for Janet Jackson where she had to give it 125% every time she went out on stage.
- 28:32SPEAKER_00: So I think she's trying to do that same thing here, but it's ballroom, it's a little softer.
- 28:36SPEAKER_00: She can kind of scale that in a little.
- 28:39SPEAKER_02: And she said that in her answer where she said, like, I'm gonna try to translate.
- 28:43SPEAKER_02: I'm you I'm used to doing this.
- 28:45SPEAKER_02: So you're right.
- 28:45SPEAKER_02: That's a really good idea.
- 28:46SPEAKER_02: I really like her.
- 28:48SPEAKER_00: All right, and she got 21s from the judges.
- 28:51SPEAKER_00: So very good.
- 28:52SPEAKER_00: Tyler and Sharna did the drive.
- 28:56SPEAKER_00: What'd you think?
- 28:57SPEAKER_00: It was fun and entertaining.
- 28:59SPEAKER_00: But just eh.
- 29:01SPEAKER_02: He's so positive.
- 29:03SPEAKER_02: And I and but he is just I think it's really hard for these bigger athletic guys to do this.
- 29:09SPEAKER_02: But then look, Emmett Smith did great years and years ago in one, and some of the other athletes have done well.
- 29:16SPEAKER_02: He's just such a big guy.
- 29:17SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, he just looks, you know, like a little awkward, a little stiff.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think it's just gonna be hard for him.
- 29:25SPEAKER_00: Um Carrie Ann did give him good feedback to keep eye contact with his partner to help move it along better, and he won't quite be as stiff.
- 29:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but he's got a he's got something to improve on.
- 29:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 29:36SPEAKER_02: And he said that this is his mom's dream, so I thought that was so cute.
- 29:39SPEAKER_02: And how can you not want to support him with that?
- 29:43SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 29:44SPEAKER_00: So that was good.
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: All right, Ezra and Daniela.
- 29:48SPEAKER_00: Yay! The foxtrot.
- 29:50SPEAKER_00: I didn't realize how difficult this dance would be for him.
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: I mean, I all of them I think are difficult for him because he has to learn how to use his leg, but he only has so much control of that leg.
- 30:02SPEAKER_00: So um, to me, it was amazing when he was holding his leg up and was able to keep it elevated like that.
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: The muscle memory he has to have to do that is probably unreal.
- 30:13SPEAKER_02: The way they started off sitting down back to back, and then he kind of they kind of flipped around and he literally got up on that one leg and everything.
- 30:21SPEAKER_02: He's just and he makes it look so effortless.
- 30:24SPEAKER_02: And the positivity and the willingness to push it and learn.
- 30:28SPEAKER_02: Um, I almost thought they should have been ranked high rated higher.
- 30:32SPEAKER_00: I thought they got scored very low.
- 30:34SPEAKER_00: They got straight sevens, which was a 21, which is still high, but I thought they scored them too low.
- 30:38SPEAKER_00: But yeah, what are they looking at?
- 30:44SPEAKER_00: It was a slower dance, yeah.
- 30:46SPEAKER_00: Um, which they had to focus more on his frame, which even Bruno said he had a great frame.
- 30:51SPEAKER_00: What do you think of Carrie Ann's comment?
- 30:53SPEAKER_00: All she said was, You make us better judges and better people.
- 30:57SPEAKER_02: I don't know what that meant.
- 30:58SPEAKER_02: That's sometimes back on his dance.
- 31:01SPEAKER_02: No, maybe that's just like she's just like, it's I've been here for two hours.
- 31:06SPEAKER_02: Or she's been there for more, but she'd be like, Okay, I'm ready, I'm ready to roll.
- 31:10SPEAKER_02: I'm ready to roll.
- 31:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 31:11SPEAKER_02: So when they when they started like telling the couples, like I always put it down because it's always fascinating to me, which I know they're like no particular order, but then when they start doing all the couples, they're going down and there's like it's not, it's not, it's not.
- 31:25SPEAKER_02: And then when it gets down to where it is Jackson, Guillermo, and Taylor there, what was going through your mind?
- 31:37SPEAKER_00: I kind of knew who it was gonna be just based off of how flat he came across.
- 31:42SPEAKER_00: Uh, I really think Guillermo's gonna hang on for maybe two more weeks.
- 31:46SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: Jackson needs to get with it though on his social media and get everyone out there to vote for him.
- 31:54SPEAKER_00: Where were all his teammates and all their teammates' families and all their teammates' fans?
- 31:58SPEAKER_02: I am gonna but they said that's not even necessarily the bottom three.
- 32:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, true.
- 32:03SPEAKER_02: But they are smart because they're putting who you think who didn't do well.
- 32:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:08SPEAKER_02: For all we know, Guillermo with the votes could be up in the top.
- 32:11SPEAKER_02: For all we know, Ezra didn't get votes this week.
- 32:13SPEAKER_02: But all but yeah, I I'm gonna lose my mind if Guillermo makes it through next week.
- 32:21SPEAKER_00: It's not a whole lot different from Andy Richter last week.
- 32:24SPEAKER_00: I mean, it really he hung on there forever, and it's because people love his personality and love that it'd be one thing if he wasn't even trying, but I really do feel like he's trying.
- 32:35SPEAKER_00: He's just so limited on what he's capable of.
- 32:38SPEAKER_02: I know they would never do this, but it's almost like when there's a contest to win something, and they're like, you know, and like if Disney is doing a contest to give something away, and they're like, employees in their families of Disney companies and Disney polyparsibility.
- 32:53SPEAKER_02: I know they could never do it because ABC is so huge.
- 32:56SPEAKER_02: There's so many people, just like even on this season, there's so many people that are somehow associated with ABC.
- 33:03SPEAKER_02: But I just feel like it's just not right that he is Jimmy Kimmel, that he is part of the ABC family, and he is so obviously like awful.
- 33:13SPEAKER_02: He could literally not even go to practice the way he dances.
- 33:17SPEAKER_02: Why do they need to practice?
- 33:18SPEAKER_02: Whitney could be home taking prenatal vitamins and resting that baby.
- 33:24SPEAKER_02: Like seriously.
- 33:27SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna lose my mind.
- 33:29SPEAKER_00: See, this is why he's on there though.
- 33:31SPEAKER_02: Oh, and now we basically already given we already gave it away because we haven't really revealed who got kicked off.
- 33:37SPEAKER_02: Every week I'm like, Oh yeah, but this was at least close to Harry Taylor.
- 33:43SPEAKER_02: But you had to go.
- 33:45SPEAKER_02: But then this was like a controversy in and of itself, is that there's all sorts of conspiracy theories already today online.
- 33:53SPEAKER_02: Did you notice Britt's reaction?
- 33:57SPEAKER_02: She Britt was mad.
- 33:59SPEAKER_02: She was really mad she was not the normal like grace.
- 34:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like she was more emotional.
- 34:05SPEAKER_02: Something was going on.
- 34:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah, there's all sorts of conspiracies online.
- 34:09SPEAKER_02: If you get into that kind of stuff, people like, you know, whatever.
- 34:14SPEAKER_02: But it was weird.
- 34:16SPEAKER_02: It was a weird reaction.
- 34:17SPEAKER_02: She was like, Yeah, thank you.
- 34:19SPEAKER_02: Like, she looked mad.
- 34:20SPEAKER_02: I don't know if she's mad at him.
- 34:22SPEAKER_02: She looked mad, she looked sad, she looked, I don't know, she was very upset, visibly upset.
- 34:27SPEAKER_02: So the other thing that goes along with this whole irritation from a lot of the fans about Britt and Taylor going, especially before Guillermo, they also talked about the fact that the voting, it didn't seem like the voting instructions were prominent in this episode the same way they are in previous episodes.
- 34:45SPEAKER_02: I had to look it up how to vote.
- 34:47SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 34:48SPEAKER_02: They would only show it all.
- 34:50SPEAKER_00: If you're a dancing with a stars purist, you know how to vote.
- 34:53SPEAKER_00: You know, you just have to if you've done it every week, you know.
- 34:56SPEAKER_02: You know.
- 34:57SPEAKER_02: Because they people online were also talking about that.
- 34:59SPEAKER_02: But I guess it's true, you know.
- 35:01SPEAKER_02: Someone told me to put it in my phone, like program it in.
- 35:03SPEAKER_00: I think if anything, that first night first night was the hot mess where the online voting wasn't working at all.
- 35:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the website, right?
- 35:11SPEAKER_00: I don't know how they avoid bots though.
- 35:13SPEAKER_00: The bots to get out there and vote for the same person 500 times.
- 35:17SPEAKER_02: Well, I guess that's why they only allow 10 votes per couple from each different like IP address.
- 35:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:24SPEAKER_02: I almost wanted to go get my husband's phone and vote for Jackson.
- 35:28SPEAKER_02: But I didn't have the energy to stand up.
- 35:31SPEAKER_02: I did give you some votes.
- 35:32SPEAKER_02: I voted for him because I just can't, I'm gonna lose my mind if if he goes before Guillermo.
- 35:38SPEAKER_02: I don't think he'll go before Guillermo.
- 35:40SPEAKER_00: He may.
- 35:41SPEAKER_00: It depends on this week.
- 35:42SPEAKER_00: Depends on how he does this week.
- 35:44SPEAKER_00: This next week.
- 35:46SPEAKER_00: I just want to send him a message.
- 35:48SPEAKER_02: He'll be like, who's this crazy lady?
- 35:50SPEAKER_02: It's okay, hang in there, baby.
- 35:52SPEAKER_02: You're fine.
- 35:53SPEAKER_02: I just want him to let go and be himself.
- 35:56SPEAKER_02: And I feel bad because I think that um I think that his fans and the banana nation, as it's called, and that was my dog getting up and hitting the tripod, um, are very positive.
- 36:11SPEAKER_02: So this may be a new level of trolling that he has not had to experience in his life.
- 36:15SPEAKER_02: I would agree with that.
- 36:17SPEAKER_02: So all right, so hopefully he will.
- 36:20SPEAKER_02: But it was great.
- 36:21SPEAKER_02: I'm excited about the season.
- 36:25SPEAKER_02: And the last thing I'm gonna say is if Guillermo doesn't go before Jackson, I am gonna have the same reaction that Britt had last night when she and Taylor were removed.
- 36:34SPEAKER_02: I'm not gonna be happy, and I'm gonna need people to come console me.
- 36:39SPEAKER_02: Console me.
- 36:40SPEAKER_02: It'll be interesting to get to the bottom of the whole Brit thing.
- 36:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:45SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 36:45SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 36:46SPEAKER_02: So this has been a big week.
- 36:48SPEAKER_02: The other um thing is I am a huge chump.
- 36:51SPEAKER_02: We've talked in previous episodes about the Jeff Lewis fans being chumps.
- 36:56SPEAKER_02: He also calls all of his regular co-hosts chumps.
- 36:59SPEAKER_02: Um Debbie, I don't know.
- 37:01SPEAKER_02: How would you rate yourself on the Jeff Lewis fandom?
- 37:05SPEAKER_02: I'm a newbie to Jeff Lewis.
- 37:07SPEAKER_00: Which is kind of fun.
- 37:08SPEAKER_00: It'll be fun to discuss exactly what we think because I'm a newbie to him.
- 37:13SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 37:13SPEAKER_00: He's definitely entertaining.
- 37:15SPEAKER_00: You can see why he's got such a following.
- 37:17SPEAKER_00: I love that he is just unvarnished in what he says.
- 37:21SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 37:22SPEAKER_02: Even after all these years, you would think that somebody who has basically been in the public eye for about 20 years would be more guarded or whatever, and that is one thing that we do love about Jeff is that he is not.
- 37:35SPEAKER_00: He is very real.
- 37:36SPEAKER_02: So his new show, he came back to Bravo after eight years of being off Bravo.
- 37:41SPEAKER_02: He had a show called Flipping Out that ran for 11 seasons starting back in 2007 that almost accidentally happened.
- 37:49SPEAKER_02: He actually had an assistant, Jetty Pulos, who was trying to get a reality show about she and her then husband doing odd jobs around Los Angeles.
- 38:00SPEAKER_02: And she pitched this show and they came in to film some stuff, and she worked for Jeff.
- 38:06SPEAKER_02: One of her main jobs was she was an assistant for Jeff.
- 38:10SPEAKER_02: And this actually caused a rub between he and Jenny from the very beginning because they really weren't interested in the show that Jenny was pitching about she and her husband doing these odd jobs.
- 38:21SPEAKER_02: They loved Jeff.
- 38:23SPEAKER_02: They thought he was so fascinating that he had this office.
- 38:26SPEAKER_02: He flipped, he was a real estate developer and flipper.
- 38:29SPEAKER_02: He would buy houses, fix them up, flip them, and he had this office of kind of like misfit people and started, including like his housekeeper Zoila, who became literally famous.
- 38:40SPEAKER_02: Um Jenny was his assistant.
- 38:42SPEAKER_02: And if you don't know, which many people do know, that Jenny Poulos was also at the time trying to be an actor.
- 38:50SPEAKER_02: She was a rapper.
- 38:52SPEAKER_02: She was a rapper.
- 38:53SPEAKER_02: She is.
- 38:54SPEAKER_02: Do you know the um the Watch What Happens Live theme?
- 38:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 38:57SPEAKER_02: Andy Cohen's got that's her?
- 38:59SPEAKER_02: That's her.
- 39:00SPEAKER_02: She wrote and did that for Andy.
- 39:03SPEAKER_02: And I always wonder, I don't know the answer.
- 39:05SPEAKER_02: If anyone knows the answer to this, send it to my Instagram.
- 39:08SPEAKER_02: I don't even, I wonder if she even got paid.
- 39:10SPEAKER_02: I'm sure they eventually paid her something, but like she did that for Andy and gave it to him because it was all around the time that Watch What Happened.
- 39:17SPEAKER_02: So, anyway, sadly, part of why the show ended when it did after 11 seasons was because of a huge blow-up between Jenny and Jeff and contracts and money and all that, sadly.
- 39:31SPEAKER_02: But I am just as a big chomp and Jeff Lewis fan from day one back in 07.
- 39:36SPEAKER_02: I'm very glad to see him back on Bravo with Still Flipping Out.
- 39:40SPEAKER_02: So the show starts with his new group because now, in the meantime, he is one of the biggest shows on Radio Andy on Sirius XM.
- 39:51SPEAKER_02: He started that, he filled in for Andy a little bit on his show, and then started literally like one day a week, then went up, went up, went up, went to five days a week.
- 40:00SPEAKER_02: Now he is on live on Sirius five days a week for two hours: 12 o'clock Eastern, 9 o'clock Pacific.
- 40:08SPEAKER_02: And they compare him to Howard Stern, to Howard Stern's like whack pack or whatever he had.
- 40:14SPEAKER_02: He has created this world of like the chumps and all these rotating co-hosts and everybody else in his group.
- 40:20SPEAKER_02: So the new show really revolves around that.
- 40:23SPEAKER_02: He still has his design business.
- 40:26SPEAKER_02: Um, so the new show came out.
- 40:28SPEAKER_02: If you watched it, you saw that it just kind of opens up talking about him being back on Bravo.
- 40:33SPEAKER_02: They go to a dinner, a birthday dinner for Doug Buden, who is um one of the co-hosts, one of the original co-hosts and original chumps.
- 40:41SPEAKER_02: And all the co-hosts are chumps, correct?
- 40:43SPEAKER_02: Yes, so all the co-hosts are chumps.
- 40:45SPEAKER_02: So what this is gonna be good because, like you said, you're new to this.
- 40:49SPEAKER_02: So my first question for you is was it hard for you to follow watching the show since you don't know that much about all these people?
- 40:58SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry, bandit art.
- 40:59SPEAKER_02: Speaking of co-hosts, our co-host.
- 41:04SPEAKER_02: Did you feel like you had trouble like figuring out what was going on?
- 41:09SPEAKER_00: A little bit, but no, it's it's it's a little chaotic, but I can't.
- 41:14SPEAKER_00: Why he's so popular is because everything he does is chaotic.
- 41:18SPEAKER_00: So, no, I didn't have a hard time following it.
- 41:21SPEAKER_00: Um, I think it's gonna get better and better for me the more I watch.
- 41:25SPEAKER_00: But he's he's entertaining for sure.
- 41:28SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 41:28SPEAKER_02: Did you have any favorite cast members?
- 41:31SPEAKER_02: I had a least favorite cast member.
- 41:33SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, juicy.
- 41:34SPEAKER_02: Who wait, oh Joey is my favorite.
- 41:38SPEAKER_02: I was gonna guess that it was Joey.
- 41:40SPEAKER_00: Okay, tell me why.
- 41:41SPEAKER_00: Joey's my least favorite because I think Joey has an entitlement to him that he's not entitled to, and he wants to be the star, and he's not the star.
- 41:54SPEAKER_00: He's a supporting actor, but he wants to be the star and he thinks rules don't apply to him.
- 41:59SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 42:00SPEAKER_00: So he was my least favorite in that sense.
- 42:03SPEAKER_00: I think he's gonna be very entertaining because he's gonna bring a lot of drama with him, but the entitlement drove me crazy.
- 42:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so Joey Zalzig is he's a big influencer.
- 42:14SPEAKER_02: They um they he calls himself digital entrepreneur, which is kind of cute when they talk about it on the radio show.
- 42:20SPEAKER_02: And he the sh the season starts off because he and Jeff are kind of beefing like right around the time the filming starts.
- 42:27SPEAKER_02: And even Jeff said it's kind of hard to follow right from the beginning if you don't know the backstory.
- 42:32SPEAKER_02: Did you feel like you understood the beef by the way they explained it or no?
- 42:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I caught on to the beef.
- 42:37SPEAKER_00: I caught onto the beef of it.
- 42:38SPEAKER_00: However, would I have been more entertained by the whole episode?
- 42:41SPEAKER_00: Absolutely, if I knew all the backstory.
- 42:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:44SPEAKER_02: I think they probably could have explained the backstory better.
- 42:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:46SPEAKER_02: Because for those of us that listen to the radio show all the time, we know that Joey was a co-host, and Joey would um Jeff also does a lot of live shows.
- 42:55SPEAKER_02: He even had a chump con event in Vegas that sold out very quickly, and Joey was there.
- 43:01SPEAKER_02: And Joey has a history of maybe drinking too much, acting crazy, doing what Debbie said, maybe seeming entitled and stuff.
- 43:09SPEAKER_02: So he and Jeff kind of had this falling out.
- 43:11SPEAKER_02: They had to have a cooling off period, he was not on the radio for a period of time, and he has since come back on the radio.
- 43:19SPEAKER_00: But see, that's where part of the entitlement comes because that comes out in the episode that he gets too drunk at an event and just is an idiot, and he's like, Well, that's just what I do.
- 43:28SPEAKER_00: I don't feel like that's an excuse.
- 43:30SPEAKER_00: That's where the entitlement comes in that drove me crazy.
- 43:32SPEAKER_00: I think it's sad.
- 43:33SPEAKER_00: Like, take take accountability.
- 43:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know what?
- 43:36SPEAKER_00: I messed up.
- 43:36SPEAKER_00: I probably shouldn't have done that.
- 43:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:38SPEAKER_02: I don't know if any of you guys watched a show called, was it, God, I should know this.
- 43:43SPEAKER_02: It was like the was it the real gaze of Wiho or something?
- 43:46SPEAKER_02: Or I don't know.
- 43:48SPEAKER_02: It was literally like he was on there, and now I can't even think of who else was on there.
- 43:52SPEAKER_02: But Joey Zalzic was on a reality show before.
- 43:55SPEAKER_02: It only lasted one season, and so he's he's good to be back.
- 43:59SPEAKER_02: But he is like really close friends with a lot of higher profile Bravo liberty types.
- 44:05SPEAKER_02: He got to be very close with Crystal Minkoff through Chump Con and knowing Jeff from meeting Crystal through Jeff.
- 44:12SPEAKER_02: They were very close, and he was really mean with Crystal that night at the dinner.
- 44:17SPEAKER_02: He was meaning she was actually sticking up for him.
- 44:20SPEAKER_02: Is this boring you?
- 44:22SPEAKER_02: Are you bored?
- 44:23SPEAKER_02: Are you bored?
- 44:25SPEAKER_02: Um so yeah, so that was that's gonna play out because I think in a future episode, you're gonna see him and Crystal really blow up with each other.
- 44:34SPEAKER_02: I can see that coming.
- 44:36SPEAKER_02: And Joey, if you follow him on social media, he was right out.
- 44:39SPEAKER_02: This morning, kind of trying to defend himself and say all this stuff.
- 44:42SPEAKER_02: Um they do allude to Joey and Jeff having shared a kiss.
- 44:50SPEAKER_02: Did you catch that part?
- 44:51SPEAKER_02: I knew.
- 44:51SPEAKER_02: I didn't try and miss that.
- 44:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:53SPEAKER_02: So they do, and basically, I think that's the first time Jeff has really come out and admitted it.
- 44:58SPEAKER_02: Maybe he had before.
- 44:59SPEAKER_02: But you know, that's how these guys are.
- 45:01SPEAKER_02: But now, that was before when they were both single.
- 45:03SPEAKER_02: Now Jeff is in a committed relationship.
- 45:06SPEAKER_02: And as you saw on the show, he kind of wants Joey to be a little more respectful of Ty, his boyfriend, who basically I think is gonna very briefly come on the show.
- 45:14SPEAKER_02: Ty has not been on the radio show.
- 45:16SPEAKER_02: Ty, they've been together at least two years now, but Ty is kind of staying in the background.
- 45:21SPEAKER_02: And um, so Joey bringing that up, you know, I think that maybe that's part of the problem.
- 45:26SPEAKER_02: Maybe Joey did have feelings for Jeff.
- 45:29SPEAKER_02: And and I do think that Joey does have some insecurities that he shouldn't.
- 45:34SPEAKER_02: He is actually very funny.
- 45:35SPEAKER_02: I actually like Joey.
- 45:37SPEAKER_00: He is I just feel like he puts himself on the same pedestal as Jeff, and he's not Jeff.
- 45:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 45:43SPEAKER_00: He's he's he is who he is because of Jeff.
- 45:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 45:46SPEAKER_02: He feels like yeah, you're you're probably right.
- 45:50SPEAKER_02: He's super close with Tracy Tudor, also.
- 45:53SPEAKER_02: So if you don't know, so Tracy Tudor that was on Million Dollar Listing, Los Angeles, and she is going to be on the new ser on the new Housewives of Beverly Hills.
- 46:03SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
- 46:04SPEAKER_02: So that'll be interesting to see if Joey ends up on there too.
- 46:07SPEAKER_02: So maybe, you know, I don't I don't know.
- 46:10SPEAKER_02: He's got a zillion followers.
- 46:11SPEAKER_02: I do think he does well as a digital entrepreneur, but more more on that.
- 46:16SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, so they kind of introduced this group to you, so the show will go on.
- 46:20SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be great.
- 46:21SPEAKER_02: I I will be interested to see because that's gonna be my big question is how well the show will do with the general population, if it'll translate beyond the current chumps.
- 46:34SPEAKER_02: He had a lot of success with flipping out, obviously, way before he was on radio.
- 46:38SPEAKER_02: So let's see now if he can do it.
- 46:40SPEAKER_02: Um oh, something interesting.
- 46:42SPEAKER_02: I heard him on Andy Cohen Live on Monday morning, and Andy told him, don't look at the live um ratings, at the live ratings.
- 46:52SPEAKER_02: I so basically what Andy was saying is that now even Bravo does not look at the live ratings.
- 46:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 46:59SPEAKER_02: That seven day they look at the seven-day rating, the seven-day ratings with the downloads and everything, once everything's out on Peacock, which obviously I think it's true that a lot of people don't there's so many things to consume and watch and everybody's schedule.
- 47:12SPEAKER_00: Well, and that and like think dancing with the stars last night.
- 47:15SPEAKER_00: I started it late, so I could fast forward through a lot of the commercials.
- 47:19SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 47:19SPEAKER_00: It makes a big difference to go back and not have to watch it live.
- 47:22SPEAKER_00: However, you can't vote if you don't pick up at least why it's in the middle of the show.
- 47:27SPEAKER_00: So yeah, but like Jeff Lewis, there's no voting or anything, and so it's easy to go back and watch and exactly all the commercials.
- 47:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so it'll be interesting.
- 47:35SPEAKER_02: Okay, so what else did you think?
- 47:37SPEAKER_02: Did you have a favorite?
- 47:41SPEAKER_00: My favorite?
- 47:42SPEAKER_00: I I really like Annie for some reason, the social media manager.
- 47:45SPEAKER_00: I just think she's very here.
- 47:48SPEAKER_00: I am.
- 47:49SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 47:50SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna rock the boat too much, but I'm gonna speak my mind.
- 47:54SPEAKER_00: I liked her.
- 47:55SPEAKER_00: So it'll be really interesting that will unfold.
- 47:57SPEAKER_02: I like Doug too.
- 48:00SPEAKER_00: I really love Doug.
- 48:01SPEAKER_00: Doug is Doug tugged up my heart straight.
- 48:03SPEAKER_02: I love Doug Buden.
- 48:05SPEAKER_02: So he is one of the original um on the radio.
- 48:08SPEAKER_02: He and Jeff met at a mutual friend's like birthday party or something.
- 48:12SPEAKER_02: And Doug has done a host of different things in his career.
- 48:15SPEAKER_02: He was bit he has been on Friends, he was on Modern Family, like he was just a character actor and would go out on all these auditions, and they they joke with him a lot about it because he was on, but like literally, all of a sudden you'll be watching a show and you'll be like, There's Doug on some little teeny, like you know, one episode part.
- 48:32SPEAKER_02: Um, but I love him.
- 48:34SPEAKER_02: He has um a great Instagram following.
- 48:37SPEAKER_02: He has an Instagram show every Thursday at 8 p.m.
- 48:41SPEAKER_02: Eastern called Cookin' Kibbits.
- 48:44SPEAKER_02: Because he's really into cooking, he's into he just Doug is awesome.
- 48:48SPEAKER_02: So I hope that I like Doug.
- 48:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 48:50SPEAKER_02: So if you want more Doug, follow his Instagram, listen to the radio show.
- 48:54SPEAKER_02: But Doug Buden is one of my favorites.
- 48:56SPEAKER_00: Can we talk about Jeff's house?
- 48:58SPEAKER_00: His Gene Street reserve um renovation that's went from 400,000 to now it's at what 3 million?
- 49:05SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 49:05SPEAKER_00: Because he just keeps adding what a gorgeous home, though.
- 49:08SPEAKER_02: It is looks beautiful.
- 49:09SPEAKER_02: Like he, if you watch Flipping Out, he was always moving green houses.
- 49:14SPEAKER_02: He has wonderful, impeccable taste.
- 49:16SPEAKER_02: He does a great job with his renovations.
- 49:18SPEAKER_02: But this is funny that this house has taken so long and he finally just moved in.
- 49:24SPEAKER_02: It's crazy.
- 49:25SPEAKER_02: It's so crazy.
- 49:26SPEAKER_02: It's been how long?
- 49:27SPEAKER_02: It was like three years.
- 49:28SPEAKER_02: It was like three years.
- 49:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:30SPEAKER_02: There's a story.
- 49:31SPEAKER_02: I don't know if the the the show may or may not get to it, but Monroe, his daughter, who is she seven now?
- 49:38SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 49:38SPEAKER_02: I lose track of her air.
- 49:39SPEAKER_02: She's ten.
- 49:40SPEAKER_02: Oh no, she yeah, she or she must be around nine.
- 49:43SPEAKER_02: She's gotta be nine or ten.
- 49:44SPEAKER_02: Middle school.
- 49:45SPEAKER_02: She's not, I don't maybe she's in fifth grade.
- 49:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:47SPEAKER_02: Because she was born when the show was still on, and the show's been off for eight years.
- 49:51SPEAKER_02: So anyway, so this house has been under construction for so long that they had painted like a custom mural with like mermaids, and now she was like, I don't want the mermaids anymore.
- 50:02SPEAKER_02: Like, because it took so long to I forget what they changed it to, but that was funny.
- 50:07SPEAKER_02: But yeah, that's one good thing about watching the show is seeing all the houses, and I wonder how much they'll show of his design business of like other clients.
- 50:15SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 50:15SPEAKER_00: I loved it when they were shopping for olive trees.
- 50:20SPEAKER_00: Who thought olive trees were that expensive?
- 50:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 50:23SPEAKER_00: It's crazy.
- 50:24SPEAKER_00: It is crazy.
- 50:25SPEAKER_00: So I think they said the older ones are 15,000, but they can fifteen thousand for one tree.
- 50:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 50:32SPEAKER_00: And they could do two for him for 24,000, though.
- 50:35SPEAKER_00: Cut him a deal.
- 50:36SPEAKER_00: But olive trees are the slowest growing, but Jeff didn't like the scrawny ones.
- 50:41SPEAKER_00: He wanted the big ones, which so fits his personality.
- 50:44SPEAKER_00: And um my favorite comment of the whole show that he made when he said um someone at they asked him, they said, You want a thick trunk?
- 50:55SPEAKER_00: And he said, I want a tree with a larger trunk and larger branches.
- 50:58SPEAKER_00: Don't make this sexual.
- 51:01SPEAKER_02: He is so funny, he's very quick-witted.
- 51:04SPEAKER_02: Just quick.
- 51:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 51:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 51:05SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 51:06SPEAKER_02: Well, it's good.
- 51:07SPEAKER_02: Okay, so you enjoyed it.
- 51:09SPEAKER_02: Like you feel like I did enjoy it.
- 51:10SPEAKER_00: I'm excited.
- 51:11SPEAKER_00: To me, it wasn't one of those shows where I was like, ooh, I can't wait to watch the next one.
- 51:16SPEAKER_00: So I'm excited to watch the next one to see what else unfolds to drag draw me in more.
- 51:22SPEAKER_02: And I'm glad that we have you because I think that you will give a much more unbiased, you know, take on it.
- 51:29SPEAKER_02: My overall take on it is that I liked it, of course, because I feel like I know all these people.
- 51:33SPEAKER_02: I love watching to this show, watch listening to the radio show.
- 51:37SPEAKER_02: I mentioned in a previous episode to me the radio show is like a reality show on radio.
- 51:41SPEAKER_02: So I follow along with their lives.
- 51:43SPEAKER_02: So this is like an extension of that.
- 51:46SPEAKER_02: And um, it's a similarity to like Kardashians and other things where a lot of the stuff that's happening, I already knew about this because I listened to the show, but I'm still enjoying seeing it.
- 51:56SPEAKER_02: But I will say, if I had to rate the show like one to ten of what I expected, I would maybe give it like a seven and a half, and that's just me being critical, but I have optimism that it'll get better, and I hope that people like you like it too because I want it to continue.
- 52:12SPEAKER_02: No, I would probably give it a seven.
- 52:13SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 52:14SPEAKER_00: So cool.
- 52:15SPEAKER_00: It's spot on.
- 52:15SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 52:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 52:16SPEAKER_00: So that's great.
- 52:17SPEAKER_00: All right, we got a busy night tonight.

- 52:23SPEAKER_00: I can't wait.
- 52:24SPEAKER_00: I feel like there hasn't quite been enough drama yet, so I'm excited to see more drama.
