• 2:13
  Speaker 2: The makeup artists, what do you do when you're getting
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: your makeup?

  Speaker 3: You're just sitting there when you get your makeup talking.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I don't ask questions about why, you know how you.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Just get so I'm interested in the psyche behind it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: You just sometimes you freeze and that's what happens.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, And it's just like, maybe it's not the right time.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: It's okay, because I was waiting for this, Yes, this
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: right here?

• 2:54
  Speaker 3: a couple of years.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, we can wait a little bit longer. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: do think people forget how young you are, because in
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: just the I feel like two years where you've been
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: on Dance with the star's been a prolce with the stars,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it feels like there's this element of you being older.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You seem so grounded and mature, and I wonder what
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it's been like for you coming onto a show where
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you are significantly younger than most of the cast. What
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: has that been like for you. It's honestly crazy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: But like the fact that I've been able to do
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: this at nineteen years old, like actually achieve one of
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: my biggest dreams, is so just fulfilling for me.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And ye cool.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: It's been really interesting to be in this crowd of
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: people who are so experienced in what they do and
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: have been doing their job for so long. But it's
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: so cool to kind of like bring that young energy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I also have.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Loved having Ezra, one of my best friends, as a
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: pro this year. It's just been so fun. And I
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: don't know, I love that they all ask me for
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: advice on tiktoks and what they should post and I
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: don't know, I.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Just see that's so fun, so funny.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: So you started when you were seventeen.

• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that'll be like two years.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it's so crazy, like just being amongst people
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: who were co workers with my oldest sister and like
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: they were kind of like my older siblings and they
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: still are and I feel like they have that like
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: protectiveness towards me, which I think is really sweet. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: it's so cool to be amongst people that I truly
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: looked up to my whole entire life and I'm dancing
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: alongside them.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It's just really amazing. Did you coming into this at
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: eighteen and you had so much You already had attention
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: on you because you're Lindsay's the little sister and she
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: was she was so loved on the show, and there
• 4:38

  Speaker 2: pretty overwhelming?
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Like it wasn't I mean, I didn't really dive into
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: it too much, but it was It was hard. Yeah,

  Speaker 5: But at the same time, I was doing what I loved,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: which was dancing, and I was accomplishing one of my

  Speaker 5: to focus on that and really wanted to make sure
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I was doing my job and like really fulfilling everything

• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and then you're dancing together and you're making him. I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say a great dancer, but a better dancer to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: come into it. Yeah, And I do think there was.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: You know, people make fan edits and they put a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: cute song over it, and I found myself being like,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, wait, I don't want her with it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: No, Yeah, I definitely think there was. There's a lot
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: of like shipping going on, and like, honestly, like it
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: was just all very natural. We had a great time
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: together and our season was really good, and I think
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: what we posted online just kind of like showcase that
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: and showcase like the actual like fun that we had together.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it was just so crazy to like see
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: all those edits.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm watching them. I'm like, interesting, that's not quite
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: where we're at right now, though, So funny. Yeah, yeah,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: that is weird how people the Internet will take something
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and then you're you're being the person that it's about
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: watching it, Like that's not exactly how it is, Like, yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it's not.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: The real real life, but that's in the entertainment industry,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. People take videos and photos
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: of anybody just out Let's say you're like at a
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: club and you end up like walking next to somebody's
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: table and then they take photos and then all of
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: a sudden, those people are together. Do you know what
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I mean? It's like it's all smoke and mirrors. It's
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: actually pretty crazy.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: But also sometimes what is posted online and what is
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: said online can be very true, which is crazy.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, guys, I.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Don't know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You do y'all still talk? Do you and Harry or
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: is it kind of like that was like part of
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: y'all's That was y'all's friendship, and y'all did what y'all
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: did for Dancing and the Stars, and you've both moved on.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm very supportive of the life that he lives,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: and I hope all is well with him. He came
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: to one of the tapings and I got to say hello,
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: But yeah, we're kind of just on our own paths
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Great, and you have just hard launched your relationship, which
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: is not rumors and not nospiracies. It's true. It's real,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: hosted by you. It had a very Taylor Swift vibe
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: He's a football player, yes, and he's a tight end
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: like Travis Kelcey, So it's kind of perfect.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I love it, do you feel like that that relationship
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: works because I feel like when we talk to all
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the pros from Dancing with the Stars, their life, your
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: your your life is very much like an athlete. It's
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: like sleep, eat, work, repeat, you know, and like that's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: the same as like an athlete. And I feel like,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: is that helpful in your relationship because you kind of
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: have that same mindset.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: No, it's so nice because we are both so busy.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Like for me, I going into this season, I had
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: no intention of having a boyfriend or like getting into
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: a relationship or getting into a relationship honestly anytime soon,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: because I always thought it would add to my plate
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: and make my life harder. But having Walker, it's like
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: every time I'm with him, it's just like the thoughts
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: of like the stress of the show and like the
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: hardness of the show completely goes away and I'm just
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: like focused on him.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I'm completely unplugged from like.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: The world outside, and so it's just really special to
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: be able to have that. And I think we're kind
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: of that like safe haven for each other because his
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: life is crazy.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: He's in the midst of his football season.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: But it's like when we're together, it's just like all
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: those worries kind of go away. And so it's just
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: been so nice because I'm like it was hard for me,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: like dating for a second there, I was just like
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: every person.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I was just like, I don't want to I'm.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Not emotionally available for this, Like I don't have the
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: if I can't even like focus on myself, there's no
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: way I could focus on somebody else. With Walker, it's
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: just like different, Like I feel like he just adds
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: and makes it just so much better.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So y'all launched? How two weeks ago? Yes? Yes, since
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you post something. My caption was like, is this a
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: hard launch? I watched my relationship. I said, I don't
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: know if this is a hard launch or a soft launch,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: but it's a launch.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I love that it's still a thing. So that was
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: two weeks ago. How long have you all been together
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: before you publicly posted? Y'all's a relationship.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: So kind of quick. Honestly, we were dating for about
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: a week before we posted, but we have been talking
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: for like a month and a half.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, yes, how did y'all meet? So crazy?
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: There's just so many coincidences and invisible strings. Yes, literally,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: so basically his aunt was my uber driver like a
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: couple not a couple of weeks ago, like months ago,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: and she was just like driving. She's like, I think
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: you're such a cute girl. Like don't want to sound
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: weird or anything. She's like, I have a nephew that's
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: playing football over at usc Like just look at his
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Instagram and just like give him a follow or something.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: And I was just like, okay, I.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Like looked up and I was like, oh, yeah, he's
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: really cute. So I was like interested at that point.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: And then a couple of weeks go by and all
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: of a sudden, my mom and sisters sent me a
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: video on like our group chat that we have of him,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: and they were like, you need to reach out to him,
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: like you need to like do something because he's here
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: in California, like he's super cute.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And I was like, wait, no way, you guys.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: His aunt was my uber driver like a couple of
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: weeks ago, and they were like, Riley, you have to
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: reach out. So I then followed him on Instagram. Then
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: to find out that my brother in law works with
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: his best friend's dad, and so then my brother in
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: law texted his dad and that was kind of how
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: it connected. And then once I followed him, Walker then
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: DMed me and then.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: The rest is the opening line, Oh what did he say?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I can't even remember. I was just like, hey, what's up. Hey.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I'd have to pull it up because I can't remember.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it's just been so crazy because now that
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: we're getting to know each other, like he's from northern
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: California and I'm from Utah, but we have so many
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: connections and we know so many the same people. He
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: visits Utah like all the time, so it's kind of
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: crazy that we hadn't met already, but it just kind
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: of feels like the most perfect time that we did meet.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: It's just crazy.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Wow, I love an invisible string story.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I don't even get there are so many. Every day
• 13:13

  Speaker 2: know about your the aunt and the uber. They just
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: saw a video, a random video of him.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a video of him just came up on their
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: for you page. Send it to me, and they're like
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: he's so cute right, like you need to reach out
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: And I was like, no, you guys are gonna die
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: about what I'm gonna tell you right now. So it
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: was actually so crazy, Like I literally can't believe it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Did you have a lot of people before, like while
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you were in the dating world and dating scene? Did
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you were you dating through people you met in your
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: d ms or how what was the dating process? Because
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I imagine you get inundatd with lots of vib message
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: requs to take you on a date. So how did
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: you even weed out? Like I guess what got your
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: attention to even say yes to dates with guys?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: For me, all the dates that happened were through mutuals
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: like I was told by friends to go out with
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: this person, or like my sisters or brother in laws
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: knew this person, Like that's how I always directed my
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: dates because again, like I don't know, couldn't It can
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: be scary to just go on a date with a
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: random person you've never met before, no background of so
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: I feel like I always went on a date with
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: somebody that was a mutual of mine. But like dating
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: in Utah is just like not it, Like guys are
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: just not my vibe.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And that's okay, like there are other people's.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Vibes, but like every single day I went on I
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: was just like I remember, literally a couple of days
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: before me and Walker had started talking, my mom was
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: just like, you need to meet people, like you need
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: to go on dates. I'm like, Mom, I can't, Like
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: I'm exhausted, like these people like they run me thin,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: and like I just can't. I don't have the mentality
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: for that, and I just like I'm not in the
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: position for that.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: She's like, okay, like you do you And then Walker
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: came along and it was just the easiest thing ever.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: So that's it's so true, like when someone can provide that,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: like what you were saying, you had so much on
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: your plate and you're like, I don't even know if
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I can give anymore to anyone else, and when they
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: can take that load and just like make it disappear,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that's such a good sign that you're with the right person.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Yes, no, I agree, And I feel like I've been
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: through a lot of guys that are just like not great,
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: and so to like be with somebody who truly just
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: like compliments my life and just makes me feel like
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: seen and just heard and just I don't know.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It's just awesome and it's kind of hard.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Like when you're in a relationship where it's like not
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: so good, you think that's the reality and you think
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: that's what you're gonna get every.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Time you're with somebody.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: So I feel like it's just like it takes time
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: to like actually find somebody that'll like give that to you.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: But like that person will come along, like there's no
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: doubt that it will. It just is gonna take some
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: time and you're gonna have to go through a couple
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: of bad eggs before you find a good one.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Is he your first serious relationship? No, I've been in.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: I've been in a serious relationship like boyfriend and girlfriend,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: and then I've been in another serious relationship that just
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: wasn't necessarily like official, but I would say it was
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: pretty serious.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like your feelings were serious. Yes, yeah, so this
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: is exciting, Yes, this is this feels good, This feels great.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I do I love an athlete for you? Yes, you,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: but I just I don't know. I just oh, every
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: time your grind and your lifestyle is very much like that. Yes,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I need to get me some of that.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: You are not marrying an athlete. No no, no, no, no,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I want that athlete mentality.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: She's ready to become an athlete to discipline and.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like I like, I just think it's really good.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: And I feel like having that as a partner is
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: probably just like so nice.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: It's so important, especially for the life that I have,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: and that someone who like understands the work that you
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: have to put in is just really important.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: And I know that there's obviously that we were talking
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: about last season, the interest in your love life and
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: this season the interest in your love life. And I
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: feel like you're you share a lot, but you also
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: share a lot about your diabetes and your diagnosis. And
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about because I don't know. So
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I know it's an autoimmune it's an autimmune disease, right,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: So how does it affect you? How does it affect
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: your dancing? How does it affect your day to day?
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: It affects my It takes over my life, like it
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: is something that is always on my mind. So basically
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I have to be super aware of my blood sugars
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: at all times. Anytime I eat food that has carbs
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: in it, I have to give myself a shot of insulin.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: So anytime, yes, anytime I eat food, So I have
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: to do about like i'd say, seven minimum shots every
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: single day. I have to always be aware because if
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: my blood sugar goes too low, I could literally die,
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: and so I have to be really aware that I'm
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: like keeping my blood sugar stable. If my blood sugger
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: gets too high, I'll feel super like yuck and just
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: like not good. And then later on in life it
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: can affect me like really poorly if I let my blood.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Sugars get too high.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: But it's something that like I really have to take
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: responsibility for because it is so important to you know,
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: take care of yourself with type one, because it's just
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: it's hard. And yeah, I know it's definitely hard with
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: dancing too, because like I dance so much and I'm
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: at the studio and I'm just so invested. The last
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: thing I want to think about is my blood sugar
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: and like whether or not I can eat this piece
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: of bread without insulin.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Just like kind of stuff like that.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: So if you were to eat a salad, let's you
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: already a salad with like chicken, I you didn't, you
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have to do that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: No, but like say there's like crotons or like dressing,
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: then yes, I would. So like there's certain like protein,
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: totally fine. So if I have like a steak, yes,
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: a steak, chicken, turkey, I can have all the cheese
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: I want. Yeah, that's basically it just like protein fats
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: just zero carbs.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: But I can eat carbs. I just have to get
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: myself insulin for it. How old were you when you
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: were diagnosed?
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: I would sixteen years old, so it's been three years now.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: It was the biggest live switch ever.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, but how did you find that out?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: At sixteen?
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: So I was in the heat of my dance season
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: and I was just super busy, so I was naturally
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: just I thought I was just really tired, really thirsty
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: experiencing all those symptoms, and I was.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Just like eating all the time, I was peeing all
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: But I was just like, I'm so tired, I'm exhausted,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: I'm traveling every weekend for dance, Like this just makes sense.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: And then I remember I went to dance one day
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: and I like ate so much food because I was
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: just starving, and I passed out in my friend's car.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: And then I went over to the hospital that day
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: and my blood sugar was onenty twenty three and it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: supposed to be eighty to one twenty.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yes.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: So I was literally like I think if I wouldn't
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: have gone to the hospital that night and I would
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: have gone to bed, I think I would have died
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: that night because I was like really like I was
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: really close to like going into a coma and like
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: just craziest stuff.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: So I got admitted to the hospital.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: I was there three days, and basically those three days
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: you're kind of just getting like fluids, getting your body right.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: I was in the ICU for like the first night,
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: and then the rest of the days you're training because
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: diabetes is really hard, like it's a whole life switch,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: and you need to know how to manage it. You
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: need to know how to give yourself shots, you need
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: to know how much to give yourself. You do to
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: know how to measure your blood sugar. You to learn
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: about all the devices that they have in technology. So
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: it was like a full three days of just training
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: to get me ready to go with life. And I
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: honestly haven't felt like set with diabetes or feel like
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: I have like really gotten it until about a year ago.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: So it took me about two years to get like, Okay,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: I can do this and I can manage it on
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: my own.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: But craziest life switch.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: But a good thing about it is I don't really
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: remember life before, Like I feel like I've always had
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: Type one throughout my whole life, Like I don't remember
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: just like chilling and eating food without thinking about my
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: blood sugar, which is really nice. So it's kind of
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: just this new life that I live. And some days
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: are harder than others. Some days I'm like why do
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I have this? But some days I'm like, I'm good,
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: this is chill.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: So do you always just have the shots on you
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: at all times?
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, so I have.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: It's a little griggerated.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yes. So I have a little like cooler bag and
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I put like a cold.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Gel pack in it every day before you leave the house.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, And then I just pack it with the needles
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: and the insulin and then go about my day. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: then I have a little sensor. Oh wait, I have
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: it on my arm. I have a little sensor on
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: my arm and it just tells me what my blood
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: sugar is.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Like every five minutes on your phone. Yeah, I like
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: bluetoothe to my phone. Whoa Yeah, So does it give
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: you like a warning if it's off?
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Yees, So it'll beep if it goes too low, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: then it'll beep if it's high. So I'm like, if
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: I'm in rehearsal it starts beeping, usually it'll be because
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: I'm low, and then I'll just like have a snack
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: and then get right back to it.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like it almost made you, in a sense,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: grow up faster because all of a sudden you're having
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to pay attention to these things that yeah, most sixteen years.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Old, like I wouldn't even like you forget that there's
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: carbs in dress dressing?
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, literally, like, yes, no, it's actually crazy. I definitely
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: owe so many things to my diagnosis and getting Type
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: one because I think I was, like, I just matured
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: so quickly and I learned like how to grow up
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: and how to take responsibility for the things I was
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: doing because it is so important to be super smart
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: with diabetes and like one wrong move and you could
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: really affect your body. So yeah, I really had to
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: grow up, and I like I thank diabetes for that
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: because I don't think I would be where I'm at
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: and be able to do the things I do if
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't have gotten Type one, Yeah, would have taken
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: that responsibility for myself.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: And it was like the first six.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Months of having diabetes, I felt like I had grown
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: up like three years.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Like it's just so crazy.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: But so cool, and now I get to like talk
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: about it and be a voice for it, because like
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: when I was first diagnosed, I'd always wish that I
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: could like have somebody to like help me and like
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: give me pointers or tell me, like it's going to
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: be okay, your life is going to remain the same,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: because I didn't think it was.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't think I was going to be able to dance.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Really and so to be able to like be that
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: for somebody else, it's just so special.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: It's really cool because so many I mean I literally
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: am like a fangirl for you, and I'm thinking about
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: all these younger girls seeing you, like literally thinking about
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: these younger girls who may be a dancer and an
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: athlete and also diagnose with type one diabetes and they
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: see someone that they like love, Yeah, doing it with
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: so much grace and strength. It's really cool. Thank you.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I'm so so happy you're so open to talk about that.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: It's really important. Yeah, I know that means a lot.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: And I think like also too, when you hear autoimmune disease,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: like it's just it can be like very scary and
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: it comes in so many shapes and forms, and I
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: feel like you're when you take ownership of it, it's
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: like a really cool thing. Yes, yeah, and I feel
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: like you're doing that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Is that something when you started dating Walker your boyfriend?
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Is that something like you had to have a like talk.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Is there something that like he needs to know as
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: your partner, you know, if something happens, like he needs
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: to be ready to like step in.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: No, I've already like given him basically all the training.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: He like knows exactly what I need and like knows
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: what I need based on what my blood sugar is.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: So basically this DEXCM thing that I have on you
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: can like add.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: People to your app so they can have access to
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: your blood sugar.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: And so I added him to mine. Like the only
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: other person I have on that is my mom.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: So that's bigger than I love you, I feel, I know, yes, literally,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: so he knows my blood sugar at all times.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Sometimes he'll be like, I just like checked your blood
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: sugar today for fun. I'm like, that's cute. Location is
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: blood sugar.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: But yeah, no, so he basically knows everything. I've kind
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: of just tried to coach him as much as I
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: can as we've been together.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: But it's cool to see that and like.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: How much he cares about it and how much he
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: like wants to make sure I'm good all the time.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just when is you have that conversation.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Was it like first date, second date?
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it was I think around like second or
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: third date. I remember my our first date, I like
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: didn't need insulin for the food we were eating cause
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: my boods shirk was low, so I didn't pull it out.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: But then once I pull it out on the second date,
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: he was I was like, oh, I have type one diabetes.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: It's always the most awkward thing to bring up something.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: But let me just like put a shot on my
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: stea real quick.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: No, but I think a lot of people deal with
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, whether it's diabetes. Yeah, it's something that
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: is like kind of awkward. It's awkward to bring up,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: and I feel like it's always in your approach, you
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like you could sit there and
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: you can say like.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, excuse me, embarrassed, but.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Now you were like I have diabetes, like I gotta
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, I think it's all in like the
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: mindset that you like bring in the approach that you
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: bring to it.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, I agree.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: I think it's more just like I don't care and
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: if it's like if you have there's no way you'll
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: have a problem with it, but like if you have
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: a problem with it, then like why.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Are we here?
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Right right? Yeah, So I don't know.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: I feel like when I first did that, I was
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: just like, yeah, I have type on. He's like wait
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: what And then I kind of just like told him
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: the story of like how it all happened and stuff.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, I want to talk about Dancing with
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: the Stars because I we've had Whitney, and we had
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: we had Whitney and Danny, we had Joey and Jenna,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and we really feel like we're like auditioning for I
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: love it, but we gosked him. Like first of all,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: this season is like, in my opinion, one of the
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: best cast the show has ever had. Everyone is the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: best I'm just like, it's never it's it feels competitive
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: in the sense that the dancing is so great, but
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: also just like such a lovable group of people. So
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: as when you got paired with Steven, were you so excelled?
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: What was your reaction when you found out? Because he's
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: an Olympian, so you know he's got the.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Work effic Yes, No, I was so happy, Like just
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: immediately from the gecko his energy coming into the room,
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: I was just like, oh, oh, we're here, and this
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: feels great and we're happy. I don't know, he's just
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: such a happy guy and he exudes so much light
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: and happiness, and that's just somebody I want to be around.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: And I feel like we are very similar in that
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: way that we just like always have good positive mindsets
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: to like everything that we do. So that was really helpful.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: And then the fact that he is an athlete. He
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: literally just came from the Olympics like he is in
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: tiptop shape.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: He works so hard, like literally so.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: Hard, and I was just so blessed that he was
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: the person that walked into the room. But it has
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: been honestly the best season. It's been so fun.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: The whole cast is just so special and.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Like we're all so kind and supportive of each other,
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: like honestly, every time someone goes home, I'm like, wait,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: that was really sad. Like it's just like we've built
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: this strong relationship with everybody that's been really special, and
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Steven has just been the best and we're having so
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: much fun.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I can't believe.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: It's like literally almost the end, Like, h it's so sad,
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: but it's gone by so quickly, so it's just crazy.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Did you so, Ezra, this was his first season as
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: a pro and you said he's on your best Friends?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Is her best friend from you told her just from
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: being on the show from Utah? So I've known him
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: literally my entire life. Yeah, I didn't realize that. That
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: is so fun Okay, he was so entertaining to watch
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: on TikTok, his obsession of well, first of all, him
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: having Annadelvey as his partner, so crazy tattoo.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah No, he's just psyiconic and it's just so funny.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: And I loved following the whole globe and brooking and
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: then and so much.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Like he's really literally he's so good at it, Like
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: I just he is like the most perfect person to
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: put on the show, Like I think he has like
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: made a light out of crazy situations, Like I think
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: if anyone else would have been partnered with Anna Deelvey
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: and had her say nothing like she came from nothing?
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: Wait did she take away.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: To take away nothing?
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Like? I don't know. I think Ezra has handled it
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: such a pro and he's like turn a negative into
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: a positive so quickly.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud of him for that because like so
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: many people.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Would easily just be like, eh, well there's a bad season, then,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: like what can you do about it? But he's just
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: made it and turned it around and made it to
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: his own benefit. And I'm just like, wow, you go.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Because that is just so awesome. Like I feel like
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: if that happened to me, I'd just be like me too.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Just I can't do this anymore? Me too, Yeah, literally
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: would have broken me. No, literally said nothing after what
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: their experience is working with literally like.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, but you can't take that seriously, you know, no, no, no, yeah,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: but I would you would internalize.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Garly when you're watching these couples, because you
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: were the one last season who was speculated about in
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: a romantic relationship and I feel like when there's two
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: single people who are paired together, it naturally happens, like
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: it's a part of the show. And I also think
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: there's I'm curious if there's an element where if you're
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: one of those people, you're like, let's use it to
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: our advantage because people are invested in our relationship. They
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: want to see us on the show for longer. Yeah,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: do you have any details on any of the Jen
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: and Sasha or I mean, Jen and Sasha have natural chemistry.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: I have no idea if they are dating or not,
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: but they have the most beautiful chemistry together and I
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: ship them so hard, like just watching them like interact,
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: like it is very natural, and what they post online
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: is very much what they are in person.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: And so I am a total like route for Gen.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: And Sasha because I think they would be so cute
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: together bricks and glebe no idea.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I can't tell what's.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: Going on that I like, I wish I knew what
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: was going on right now. Well, he was at her house,
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: like he posted a TikTok like literally in her living room,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: but then told me and as a rehearsal it was
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: his living room, Like that's not the same, that's not
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: it like you are in her living room.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: We have done the research, but none of us know
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: what's going on with that.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: But I will say they had great chemistry from what
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: I saw, and even off the camera they're very together.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but they're crazy.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been it's been like a saga off the show.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: It's like we're following like a soap opera.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: The star season has been literally likes just like a
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: total saga.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: They should do a show called Beyond Dancing with the Stars.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: And it's like following everyone outside of like rehearsals.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: No, I agree, or like the pros like falling along
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: with our life and what it looks like outside of
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Dancing with the Stars.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Y'all should pitch that. Yeah, we should open.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: I feel like it's probably already been pitched, like I
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: I would imagine it's been pitched.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: After this season.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but actually, so you brought it up because
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: the season is coming to an end. So when this
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: season wraps up, do they, as a pro dancer, do
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: they like say, oh, we want you for next season
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: or do you just go season by season and then
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: they like pick you up?
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: You go season by season, so they'll pick you up
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: literally two weeks before you need to be down there.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah wow yeah.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: So and then when does the next season start? Do
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: you know?
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: It'll start same time this year, so like August September.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: I think we don't know official dates yet, but I
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: think it's around that same time. So basically, after this season,
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: we do a tour. US pro dancers go and do
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: a tour and celebrities come on the tour as well.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: But that happens for about three months, and that's January
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: through March, and then I am home for all of
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: the summer, just traveling though.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just kind of like doing my own thing.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: And then we'll get a call about two weeks before
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: we need to be down here again, and you're either
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: on or you're not. That you don't know until then,
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: which is kind of crazy.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: You did tour last year, though, right, was that your
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: first time? Yes? How was that experience? Because you're like
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: living on a bus. Tanya loves the idea of a
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: tour bus. I find it daunting, but it's so cute,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: so fun. No, literally, it was so much fun.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Like I thought, like I had heard from people like
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: my sister, like she she loved touring, but like the
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: bunks and like the travel was just not her thing.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: But for me, I was like I adapted so well,
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: like had the mess sleeps on the tour bus, Like.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Living out of a suitcase has never really been my thing.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: I've never been good at packing, like my mom always
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: used to pack for me. But somehow I went out
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: on tour and it was just like so fun. I'm
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: just like young too, so I feel like it was
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: just exciting for me and to be in a new
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: city and like see that many places in that period
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: of time, which just so cool. And also performing every
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: single night for people that are just cheering for you
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: and that love you and like support you is so
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: surreal and so cool, and it was like one of
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: the most fulfilling experiences I've ever had.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: So it's really so fun. Yeah, I loved it.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like tours, Like, to me, tour's like
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: a sorority.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I knew you were gonna say that, Yeah, Like that's
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: what I have.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: That's like kind of the like the the camaraderie and
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: the I don't know, the togetherness that like I feel
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: is kind of the same.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: No, we're all just like hanging out like on the bus,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: like in tight quarters. But it's so fun and it's
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: like you learn something new about each person every single
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: day and you're just like, Wow, you're so funny or
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: you're crazy.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: You do come from a family of dancers, and did
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: you feel, first of all, is there a world where
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: you and Lindsay could or would be on the same
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: season together? Is that like a dream? Oh?
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, that is like one of my biggest dreams. I
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: think I would love that so much. Well, I would
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: love that so much. But just Lindsay right now, she's
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: just like mom life and it's so hard to commute
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: down here, oh yeah, with kids, and it just makes
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: things like pretty tricky. But I think we have to
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: figure it out at least one of these times, because
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: it would be.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: So fun, like literally so fun. But your other you're
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: is it four girls?
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Or four girls? So there's I have three older sisters, okay,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: so and everyone's a dancer, right, yes?
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: So we all Yeah, we all grew up dancing. My
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: mom owned a dance studio like the first like ten
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: years of my life, and so she kind of just
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: like made a little hub for us, got like the
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: best coaches and we all just kind of grew up
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: dancing together. And then Lindsay went and to Dance with
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: the Stars. My second sister was on soete can Dance,
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: and then Brindley, my closest sister, she danced all the
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: way until high school and went to nursing school and
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: then there's me.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: So it was so fun and it was so cool
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: to like.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it's not like you go to dance,
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: but it's like because we were with our sisters, we
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: were all just getting close and tight because were all
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: going to dance together and like all just like hanging
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: out at the studio. And then my mom owned the studio,
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: so she was with us all day every day, and
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it was just like really fun like
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: family affair that we had.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: When you were going on Dancing with the Stars the
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: last year, did Lindsay give you and what was her
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: advice for you going on the show, Because beyond the
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: dancing and like having to the core, we our minds
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: are blown by the choreography that you'll just come up
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: with multiple dances. I just can't process. It's crazy. But
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: there's the production of it. There's you know, having people
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: trying to create a story in a sense. So did
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: she give you any advice that you really held onto? Yeah, No,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: she gave me so much advice, Like Lindsay is.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: I call her every single day for simply like how
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: do I respond to this text?
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Like how do I respond to this person?
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Like? She helps me every step of the way. But
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: I think one of the biggest things that she said
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: to me that I took away was just always remain yourself, Like,
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: always stay true to who you are, remember who you
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: are as a person, and like, no matter what people say,
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: no matter what happens out there, remember who you are
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: and remember what makes you really happy in life.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: And that just kind of I put that thought.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: In my mind throughout the whole entire season, because again,
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: so many things happened for me, and it was a
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: huge year, and I don't think Lindsay even experienced the
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: kind of like craziness that my life entiled last year,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: and how open my.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Like everything was right.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: So it's like what she had said to me helped
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: me so much just realize, like all of this is
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: so crazy, but what really matters is who I am
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: and what I stand for and what I believe in.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: And that's all I can focus on.
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: And if people like me, they like me, and if
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: they don't, they can kindly unfollow. And it's just kind
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: of one of those things where it's just like people
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: are gonna like me for me, and they liked me
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: because of how I was in the beginning. So I'm
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: just gonna remain the same and try to stay as
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: much positive, like have this much positive attitude about like
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: everything that's going on.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so true though, because TikTok opened this whole
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: new world of people to have opinions and speculate, and
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: likely someone can just make a video about their opinion
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and it can go viral and they almost spark other
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: people to like have that same opinion. It's kind of
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: a weird thing that happens with Tick. And even when
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: when I was on The Bachelor years ago, they didn't
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: have that, and I'm like, thank god, yeah, thank god
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: that wasn't there.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Literally just pick up part every everything detail.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: No, Lindsay was like there was no social media in
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: my first season of Dances Stars, Like literally all people
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: saw was the TV screen and she was like people
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: didn't talk about it, like there was Twitter, Like she
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: didn't really look at Twitter, but like that was basically it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: So she was like, it was so crazy, Like to
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: go on TikTok and just have it be about you
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: is just insane, and like to have that like openness
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: It's just so crazy.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Do you go in and look for it or do
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: you try to avoid it?
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: I try to avoid it, Like I definitely want to,
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: like when I'm not working, I want.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: To just like focus on life it just myself.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: It was really hard last year because it was like
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: anytime I'd go on my TikTok for you page, my
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: videos would be about me and Harry and I just
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: be like, I can't escape it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: It was just like a lot.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: It was really fun though, and like I enjoyed it,
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: but at the same time, I was just like I'd
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: rather about something else other than like what's going on
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: in my life right now, you know.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm tired of seeing Harry's face. I'm seeing him
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: at rehearsals, and.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: That's power because I think I would be the opposite.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I feel like I would be watching like get like
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: one mean comment, I go and I like look that
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: person's profile to find out everything I can find out.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: I did have that problem in the beginning, Like I
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: was so invested in what people were saying. Yeah, like
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: if there was any hate, I was like I need
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: to know, like is there more?
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Like what else are they saying about me?
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Like I was so invested in that, and like specifically
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: just this last summer, there were so many things that
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: were happening in my life and so many things that
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: were coming out, and I got so sucked into Reddit,
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: like so sucked in, and like I let it literally
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: take over my life, Like I let those people's opinions
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: of how everything in my life was going on like
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: affect me. And I like had to have a power
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: with my sisters just kind of like Riley, like it
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: does not matter, Like what these people say does not matter.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: And there's so many people that love and support you
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: and want the best for you. And it's like even
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: looking at like there were mean ones, but there was
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: a lot of support ones. But even looking at that
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: and trying to look through your life in comments and
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: on a Reddit page, it's just not how you should live,
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: even if it's positive, even if they're lifting you up,
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: it's just not how you should.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: And these are still just all these hairy mean ones. Yes,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: but what was so let's just say you guys were dating.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: What's so bad about that? Wasn't it? Didn't it come
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: out that he was dating someone else? Yeah? Yeah, okay,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: thank you.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: I was I was like yeah, I was like, yeah.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I know it was kind of crazy, yes.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: But yeah's over here, no worries.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: No, I do think you're so right. It's like you
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: as as yeah, that's as to read the negative comments.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: It's all so not realistic to see people just like
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: constantly complimenting you or talking about how beautiful you are.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Because that's not life either, Like you're not like it
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: feels good, but it's.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Like if you let your like day be affected by
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: how many nice comment you readers, how many badly comment
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: read it's like that's not life like, that's not how
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: we're meant to live. And it's like our brains we
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: were not created to process so many people's opinions on
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: who we are. Yeah, don't know us exactly exactly.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: I feel like once the season wraps, is it like
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: a weird It must be because you're dancing all day
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: every day. Your schedule during this season is.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Like so wild.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: And then it just stops. I know you go on tour,
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: but like is it like a crazy kind of like
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: juxtaposition like after the season finale.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah. No, I think I feel the weirdest after tour
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: because it's like once you're done with the season, it's
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: like you go straight to tour and it's just like
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: crazy life. Once you get back, it's the weirdest feeling.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: It's like you don't like every time you sit still,
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: you're just like, no, I shouldn't be sitting still. Like
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: I remember last year, I traveled just about anywhere and
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: everywhere because I was just like I can't sit still.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: But it's this crazy feeling of just because you're used
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: to that, you're just used to that go go go,
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: especially on tour, Like it's just so crazy to like
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: take a moment.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: But like it takes you like a month or.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: Two to be able to be like Okay, I can
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: breathe now, Like I can just sit at home and
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: like chill. But like for those first two months you're
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: kind of just like I need to keep moving and
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: doing stuff because it's just you go, go, go.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: And then just to stop is just like it's pretty abrupt. Well,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: you know, having like sold out crowd screaming for you
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: every night. So it's like to go home to your
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: silent home. Yeah, this is weird. You walk in your house,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: it's silent. You're like, I'm like, no attention. Have you
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: and Walker talked about how y'all are going to navigate
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: because you'll be long distance? Yeah, right, Sad, I've all
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: talked about it because yeah, yeah, it's going to be
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: an adjustment. Yeah, no, we've talked about it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: For what's nice about tour is every week I have
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: a day off and it's in a different city. So
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: we're planning on like finding days off where he can
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: come and see me because I can't leave.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I can't really leave unless I have like
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: a double day off or multiple days off.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: So we're going to try and coordinate where he can
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: like spend a day off with me and be there
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: with me. But the nice thing about it is it's
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: kind of his off season for football when I'm on tour,
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: so he is able to travel and do things a
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: little bit more than he would now.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna see how that goes.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: But like my oldest sister Lindsay, she did long distance
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: with her boyfriend and she's given me some pointers on
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: how it all works. But I think it'll be great
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: because he's just awesome and like texting and calling is
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: just enough for us.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: So I think it'll be good. Y'all are gonna figure
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: it out. Yeah, we'll figure it out. The invisible strings
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: always figure it out, always pulls you back together. Yes,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: it's true. Yeah, Okay, who in this in the cast
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: of Dents and the stars with who's left? Who do
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: you find to be your biggest competition? Ooo? That's a
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: good question. I don't know. Everyone is really good. Yeah,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: it's a strong it's a strong final. Is it? Final five?
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Right now? Final six? Sick? Yeah? Six.
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: Joey is really good, Like he's just a really good
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: dancer and he's just so like charismatic and people love him.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: Danny's getting really good, like he is showing so much improvement.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: I know, people love like a climbing story like rising
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: to the occasion. Chandler's also just so good, like so good.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: She's just been really good throughout this whole season. And
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: then Alona, I'm.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Just obsessed with her.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: She's just a queen and like she's like improving every
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: single episode, and like I just she makes my heart
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: so happy and everything she stands for is just so amazing.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: And then Dwight is.
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: Just I don't know, everyone's just so good. Like Dwight
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: is so good, he's improving. He has such a fun personality.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: Like whoever goes home next week? Like I'm scared, like
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: because it's like everyone is so good and I literally
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: do not know who's gonna go home?
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Like, actually, is there a bond between Stephen and Alona
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: because of the Olympic connection?
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like I like find them talking about
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: it a lot, and they're just like really cute when
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: they like interact because they're both like I don't just
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: have that athlete mentality. But the funny thing is they
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: never really interacted that at the Olympics because it's just
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: like so.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Big their events never really like crossed over.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: But like to see them talk and like have this
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: like competitive like funny, like Banter is just really funny.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: I love it. I love her. Yeah, No, she is
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: the best. Yeah, Like I just love her so much.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: And she's so funny, Like anytime you talk to her,
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: you'll just laugh, like literally beat your pants.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: She's so funny. She's so funny. She's so good on TikTok. Oh,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: so I feel like you all too, are both like
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: the TikTok. Yeah, TikTok of the group. She's very Yes,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: what's coming up this next week for a Dance to
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: the Stars dance twice?
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: Yes, it's so we're recreating an iconic dance that it
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: existed before on the show.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Can you tell us much one you're doing?
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: Yes, So I'm doing Charlie and Marx Vieni's waltz from
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: C thirty one.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Oh so iconic, so amazing, truly one of the best
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: dances I think Dancing Stars has ever had. So it's
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: a lot to live up to.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: But honestly, like me and Steven are we know we're
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: not as good as Charlie and Markure, and we like
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: just we kind of have that mentality. But for us,
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: like it's one of the most perfect dances to showcase
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: Steven's like growth and how much he has become a dancer.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: And the Vinie Waltz is a very technical dance.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: So I think if we can go out there and
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: like really just showcase that, I think people will be
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: really proud of Steven.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: I'll be really proud of Steven.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: Because it's hard, but he really has become a dancer
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: and I really want people to see that because he's
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: learned so much and I don't know, he's just so special,
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: So I hope people see it.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: I love that. I love that this season you got
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: to have a partner where it was like there's been
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: so much focus of on Yell's friendship and just like
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: your relationship as dance partners and the growth that he's had.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: And yeah, and then like I think people just love you.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: So I think people are just always going to be
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: rooting for you and whoever you wish, whoever you're with. Yeah,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: my final question if you I know, y'all don't get
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: to choose your partner. It's always a surprise, is what
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: we told. What we were told. If you got to
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: choose your dream partner, who would it be?
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, my top probably Justin Bieber.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, like he would be really good, really good.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: Everyone would love him obviously, and like I've had a
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: crush on him since I was like six years old,
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: So I think it would just be like the ultimate dream.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: He would never do it, and that's not really realistic,
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: but you know.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: That I was asking for a dreamt.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: For the stars or what is it for the moon
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: and you land amongst the stars?
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, You're like, and I'm in love with him.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Walker's like I will be at rehearsal every day.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: Like he's married, he has a kid. Okay, I'm not
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: worried about him, Sonny. Thank you so much for taking
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: guys so fun.
