  Speaker 2: awkward moment of him trying to be like, oh, yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I have no idea who you are. And then he
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: brought it up and I was like, what a guy
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: he remembers. But do you know what he remembered about me?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: What?
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: She's an amazing ping pong player, one of the best,
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Like I'll never forget it, unbelievable. I think I love
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: ping pong. I play a lot of ping pong with
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: my friends, and I think she smoked me.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: That is no surprise.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: There's like a big rivalry between Becca and my fiance.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: He was like the better ping ponger, right, yeah?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Non, so where did you guys meet?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Where was this?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So I was hammy from showing your movement and you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Guys were doing the ping the ping pong.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Oh no, we were out and it was like it
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: was just a random Yeah it was me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: We went out to the brig and then we went out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: We found ourselves in some sketchy place with the ping
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: pong table.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: We're like, perfect, let's.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Real perfect, do this and then yeah, it was cree
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: so funny.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: And what was your first impression of Danny?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So kind, so nice, so normal. I was also kind
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of fresh off the Bachelor, so this world would like
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: meeting celebrities and athletes. I was kind of like, whoa,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: how am I in this right now? So I just
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: had to pull out the ping pong and make myself comfortable.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Uncomfortable. That was awesome. She just smoked me.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: That's hot.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: One of those skills that you know, bring out when
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you need. Tanya has been dying to have you because
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: she's been obsessed with you since well, I don't know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: She was complicated, So it's a complicated relationship because I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: don't watch football, but I have a lot of questions
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: about football that I'd like to ask at some point anytime.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: So I didn't know you as like a football player.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I knew you, I knew somebody that you had dated
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in the past, and then it was like a book relationship.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: And then you broke up and I did not love
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: you after that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, probably rightfully.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: So okay, so I didn't know you after that.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Then you go on Special Forces, which is like one
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of my favorite shows.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's all I knew you as. I didn't
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: know you as this football player.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And my fiance was like, no, he's amazing. He was
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like this amazing football player. And then I watched you
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: on Special Forces and I was like, oh my gosh,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I love this guy. Like you really turned me over
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: on that show. And then watching you on Dancing with
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the Stars, it like turned me even more onto you.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: So now I like love.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You a roller coaster that I went on by a roller.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like other people have had that same
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: reaction as they like seeing you kind of evolved?
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, just doing stuff outside the
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: box of football, it just opens up, you know, different
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: avenues to see people in different lights, you know. I mean,
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: I'm definitely like a warrior mentality on the football field,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: and you know a lot of times that's kind of
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: portrayed in a different way because I have to you know, mentally,
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: you know, in a different space to perform at a
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: high level in the NFL. So it's hurt me in
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: some ways, but in other ways it's it's helped me.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Uh And then just doing fun stuff like this really
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: kind of you get to see me in a different
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: light and more this is me.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: You know, this is normal Danny.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So it's so it's like it's true because I would
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: never I don't know, I just never saw you as that,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And like even through these shows,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you see you at your like the most vulnerable, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, you are a warrior, Like you're so badass.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he is, and definitely in like rehearsals too, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: like you don't stop, Like he literally is like no breaks,
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: like just goes head on, like and I think that's
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: why the performance aspect is so tricky, because like he's
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: used to just putting his head down, getting it done,
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: getting the job done, and I'm like, Okay, well this
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: isn't Dancing with the Stars. Like you're gonna be in
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: rhyin stones and you're gonna have to smile a little
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: bit and we're gonna have to hear what you have
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: to say, and like you real feelings, you know, have
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: got to come out. And I think that's why our
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: Contemporary was such a breakout moment for us, because it like.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Showed a little bit of his personal story.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: You know, he'd get dedicated it to his former coach,
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: Mike Leach, who passed away, so it's kind of an
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: opportunity for him to like show his vulnerable side. And
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: that was kind of like a breakthrough moment where people
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: are like, oh, yeah, like Danny is a great, incredible athlete,
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: but he also can show, you know, some other sides
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: to him.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and I think you forget that like when
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you especially people in the public eye, they just see
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you as what they see you you, you know what
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, like your football player, and like you just
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: kind of have that like you associate that with something
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: else and then it's like we're all so multifaceted, you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like we all have so much
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in us, but by the way that contemporary dance. That
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: song by Ex Ambassadors is like my favorite song of
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: all time.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: It's so good, it's so beautiful.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you actually suggested it right like when we were
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: because what happens is we have a we have a
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: music to part and they kind of like pick the
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: celebrities brains before they get on the show, and we
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: kind of they talk about, like what's your favorite songs
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: and like who do you we have a dedication week,
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: like who would you want to dedicate it to? Yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: and so Danny actually came up with that with that song,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: and I was like, that's perfect, Like it's so good,
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: it's so good.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it was so underappreciated, so I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: appreciate that you brought it back to life again the song,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: like the song just it all hits so perfectly.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good one, It really was. We
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: worked really hard on it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Do you have a feeling like when you're like when
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you're doing the choreography for a dance and you know
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that like, Danny, you're such a great example of what
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the show is about because you came in not having
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know your dance experience background, but it definitely
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: felt like it's been an adjustment for you. It's like
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: something a craft that you're learning. And I feel like
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that's the point of the show is to watch someone
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: who has little to no dance experience become a dancer. Yea,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And I feel like you. I can't think of like
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a better partner for someone or coach because I feel
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: like you're so tough.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I hear that like the hardest I'm I feel like
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: you said that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Actually I'm really not.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just I want them to do that.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Like there's no yelling like at all, but there's definitely
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: like I definitely want to push us to be the
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: best because I'm used to being the best, so like
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: if I'm anything less, like I don't like it. So
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: I definitely push us for sure. But yeah, like you said,
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: like that's what the show is about, like taking someone
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: with no dance experience at all, And like I remember
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: our first rehearsal. I was like, Okay, what can you do,
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: like just show me anything, and it was like, yeah, nothing,
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: what you do?
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know any dance moves?
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: Like I can like break it down out of wedding
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: if I've had you know, a couple of glasses of mind.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: But I can't.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Under the influence of the influence.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a blank slate in terms of exactly in
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: terms of dancing.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: But and like definitely someone that I could just like
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: kind of mold like that was just like down for anything,
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: which was great, Like he's a sponge. He definitely wants
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: to get better, which is it's been awesome, it really has.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: I mean we're working on the rhythm part and the
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: hips part.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: I'm still trying to get down like the counting, Like
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: why do you count to eight?
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know which is how the bars.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: The bars are in eights usually with music or sixes
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: with waltz, but that's how we kind of count. But
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: sometimes like choreographically, I like to choreograph to the music.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: So that's a little bit more helpful. Yeah, so I can.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: Say, like this word, you're stepping here, and this word
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: you're doing this, And so that's been better so that
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: the counts.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Do you guys ever fight?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: No, really, I'm not a fighter. I'm really not.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: And like if he gets pissed, like yesterday he was
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: super mad.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just kidding this. He didn't get the steps right.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I just don't want to. I want I
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: don't want to waste her time in disappoint her. So
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: I'm like, all right, if I need to practice by
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: myself for five minutes, like I can, like give me
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: like five minutes and.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I'll get it done.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Because I mean, she's a professional. I know what it's
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: like being a professional and having like an amateur. Joe
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: walk in and be like all right, this is terrible.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: But I'm like, all right, let me get this down
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: at least in my own mind for like two minutes
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: so we can.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: I don't waste your time.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But like if he gets mad like that, like
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I love it, Like I like.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: Smile and I'm like, this is good. This means you
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: want it, you know, Like, so it doesn't bother me
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: at all. It's not like it affects.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: No, I'm not mad at her.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: And that's what I know. It's you're not mad at me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: You're just like wanting to get it so badly that
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, yeah, that's the passion we need. I
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: love it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: So last week we were talking to Jenna and Joey
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and I asked her if y'all have any say in
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: who your partner is but she was saying it's a
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: total surprise. So you've danced with professional athletes before, do
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you feel like there's an advantage just because of the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: mindset of wanting to win, Like there's that ingrained sense
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: of I'm ready to tap literally tackle this absolutely, So, like,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: do you feel like there's an advantage there.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: I do feel like there's a little bit of an
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: advantage with an athlete because, like you said, they have
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: that mentality, and then when you get out on stage,
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: you never know how the celebrity is going to react
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: when it's game time, like when the lights are on,
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: so you can be perfect in rehearsals and they can
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: be perfect in rehearsals, and then when you get in
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: front of the camera and the lights and the music
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: comes on, like that's when people either you know, shy
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: away from it or they step up. So that's another
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: thing with athletes that you cannot teach is like game time,
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: and that's a huge advanta and huge advantage for sure.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I feel like having someone who should because
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: but I also feel like even in Special Forces, it
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: was kind of like just put just survive, like get
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: put your head down and do what they tell you.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: To do. They're screaming at you, you're exhausted, but there
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: is the element of get it done, but also put
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: on a smile, yes, yeah, be a showman, right, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: don't mess up your steps. So there's this other added
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: element to it that you didn't have in football or
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: special forces.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: For me, I think even when I I think back
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: of going to playing in big games, like I've been
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: in a lot of playoff games and played in three
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: super Bowls, and like I would turn an opening kickoff
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: to a super Bowl like the most nerve wracking experience
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: of my entire life. But one thing that I've really
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: kind of honed in on is just being super prepared,
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: whether like going drilling everything one hundred times over and
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: then and just being super prepared for me takes the
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: anxiety away from getting in front of the camera. So
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: when it does come time for like live show night,
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: when we're dancing, it's like, all right, it's just practice,
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: Like stay in the pocket, like has she told me
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: last week, Like just don't overdo it. You don't have
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: to think outside your body, do anything crazy, just do
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: it as we as we trained. And that's very similar
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: to two athletics in football, in particular.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, that mentality I wish I had more of that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: No, I'm serious, Like that athlete mentality, it's so like,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it's so beneficial. I think you can take it into
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: so many different aspects of life, and I just don't
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: have that. Yeah, Like if I was trying to teach
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: me a dance and I couldn't get out, it'd.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Be so frustrated.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I try to teach her them. I don't even teach
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: me TikTok dances, not even a dance lip sync, And
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: it's just like I can't. I can't.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: I can't.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you can't be a perfectionist too.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I know that I should be more like an athlete.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: I think again, with everything, it comes with experience, you know.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: I mean yeah, for me.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: You know, my dad's a football coach, So I grew
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: up kind of playing in front of a lot of
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: people in Texas and then going to a big time college,
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: uh experience, and then playing in big games.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: The NFL is just.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: Like like even the biggest like Super Bowl games, like
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: like you get it's like you see the glitz and
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: the glamour and the spectacle of the whole thing. But
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: like once the you know, whistle to whistle, Once you
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: get hit the first time, it's like, all right, now
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: you kind of you you kind of folk, you're you
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: have laser focus after that, and it's just like basically
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: kind of goes back to your training, back to practice.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: And something that has been kind of hard is like
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: just like meshing the steps to like performing, like like
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: you gotta smile here, like you gotta look like you're
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: having fun. He's like, I am having fun. He's like
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: this is really fun. I'm like, you don't look like
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: it because he's focused. So it's like it's like.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: One of these.
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: And so like that's been probably the biggest challenge. It's
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: just like you can't put your head down. We gotta like,
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: we gotta performance aspect.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Of the whole thing. Is that's been the toughest part
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: for me. Yeah, but it's like hard at you bubblegum
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: and dance too. It's like God like two things that
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: want three things at once. Like so with the small
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: intangibles that you see the pro the male pros, you know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: with the head turns and kind of like the little
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: flicks and stuff in between, Like that's damn near impossible
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: for an amateur. So it's like I'm trying to take
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: as many notes as possible and ask Gleb and ask
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: you know, vow as many questions and Brandon all the
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: all the pro guys that help.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe we just need some pads and help.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Get out there.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Was the was the chin wave like part of the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: choreo or did you just like throw that in?
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: That was part of it. Yeah, we wanted to.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: We we love Deadpool, right and I'm sure you guys
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: have seen Deadpool Wolverine, but we wanted to break the
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: fourth wall and and kind of mess with the audience
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: or mess with the camera in some way like Ryan
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Reynolds does as Wade.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: But that was That's kind of what we came up
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: with and threw it in there.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fun. I mean you kind of came
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: up with that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Was that man, as you coach, come on, She's like.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: You take it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You did have a move that went has gone fully viral,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: which we are going to attempt after this podcast.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: No, we're not gonna attempt. We're gonna do it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: We're gonna help you go.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, we're gonna do the move. But it's it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: called the Archer and it was during your contemporary dance. Yes,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: And I feel like you made it look very easy.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: And I have seen some people at home doing it
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh wow, they are they a professional dancer?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Surely what's the catch here? But did you have any
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: idea when you did that? Have you done that in
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a dance before?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: No, I have never done it in a dance before.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: I think there's been like similar versions of it, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: But I think we just kind of made.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Something that worked for us, and that's kind of like
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: what we always do.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: But I had no idea that it would go as
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: viral as it has been. And some people have been
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: absolutely killing it and some people have been hurting herself fails,
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: please use caution. And we actually ended up doing a
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: tutorial because it was like so many people like getting
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: hurt and we're like, okay, just watch for tutorial so
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: you can have some pointers before you try it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: But it's it's fairly easy.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: If you've ever done like a front walkover, So if
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: you've had any sort of like pastics, like background or
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: like any sort of dance experience, you can kind of
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: feel that. And then you also have to have like
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: kind of a stronger lead to pull that leg up.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: You have to be pretty strong. I mean, how hard
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: is that for you?
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: You're I mean you're you're pretty light and you make
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: everything look so easy.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Well is a board.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I got to.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Say how easy it is?
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Once right, it's gonna be great.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: I tried it with a couple other people and and
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: it's hard. She makes it. She makes it look very easy.
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: You tried it with a guy, Like, there's no flexibility there.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: You have a little bit of flexibility and it's all
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: about like the anchor and then just the guy balance,
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: keeping your balance.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we got this. You got it. Yeah.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Athlete's mentality, ye do or die. Yeah, we're always like
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: when we win the Mirror Ball. It's not if it's when.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was going to ask who, who is
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: your competition?
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Like who?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Because you'll have a really stacked cast. It is so
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: stacked and just like beyond the dancing ability, it's like
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: likability and there's just it's a it's a really good
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: cast that you'll have this year. Who in terms of
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: getting to the Mirror Ball do you find to be
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: your biggest competition right now?
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a couple of different ways I think about this.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: You want to on a tip of her time in
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: I'll chime in, just go ahead.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I want to hear what you have to say.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: Well for me, I mean honestly, like, Okay, we're not
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: like going against anybody, like physically, Like it's not a game, right,
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: So in my mind, like I'm I'm going against myself,
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: Like I want to put the best dance out there
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: as possible, and I don't.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: I can't worry about the judges scores. I can't worry.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: About, you know, anybody else's dances. I'm low key like
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: rooting for everybody, like I want them to kill every
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: dance do they're good and I want to. I want
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: to at the end of the night, I want to
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: do the best I can and have the highest scores
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: I can possibly get. But I mean there's there's great competition,
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: there's you know, everybody's having fun, everybody's growing, everybody's loving it.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: So at the end of the day, like I got
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: to look myself in the mirror and say, okay, this
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: is I got to beat me yesterday.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Know, I'm always trying to get him to like give
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: me something.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: Like like anything, any tea, nothing. He's just like, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: just got to get better. I'm like, Okay, you're so boring.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Everybody's so boring nothing, everybody's I think that, Yeah, it
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: comes down to like obviously likability, but you have to
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: be somewhat of a good dancer.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Like there's got to be both of that.
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: Like we had Bobby Bones whin and he wasn't the
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: best dancer on that on that season. So I think
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: it's just like making sure you show your personality and
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: you know, making sure that the people love what you're
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: doing and you're trying hard.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I think right now people are kind of.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: Putting you and Joey in kind of the same I
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: could see that, I think just because joe is, you know,
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: very likable, Danny's very lit there, like around the same age. Like,
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: so I think that they're kind of been being pinned
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: against each other, but you know, it could always change.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: I feel like week by week it kind of always changes.
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: Chandler's also really good.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: She's a pro.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: She's a pro. Yeah, she's so good.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: A lot of people have been talking about the judge
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: of scores. Yeah, seem to be like it's they're really
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: making it hard to get to the ten.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I know what's hard seasons where they throw out those
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: tens loosely.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: So it's like, yes, I don't know what goes on
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: with the scores. I really don't.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know if they're if the producers are back,
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: they're like.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Don't give out a ten. Yeah, Like, I don't know
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: what they're saying.
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: But it's hard to score because each celebrity is so
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: different in their own right. So it's like people are saying,
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: you know, Joey got a lower score than Chandler, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: then they're comparing the two, but really the judges are
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: just trying to score what they're seeing in that moment,
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: and they're not comparing to the one before. They're trying
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: not to. And I think that's what's hard, is because
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: there are no comparisons because everybody is so different. They're
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: on different levels, you know, so it's hard to kind
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: of I don't know, it's hard to judge.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: I would have given us a ten.
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the contemporary deserved at least one ten.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: And it's halfway through the season.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're at the beginning anymore.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: That's notice.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Maybe you didn't get a ten on the scoreboard, but
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: you got a ten in.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Your heart America in America's yeah, all that matters.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I'm waiting.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about kind of the your role
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: as like a pro dancer, how it's evolved, because like
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you are a mom now, like is it how is
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: your how do you allocate your time?
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: It's it's really hard.
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: It's really hard because a season during the season, Yeah,
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: like I'm all about like balance, like if if things
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: aren't balanced, like I kind of go crazy. And there's
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: just really no balance right now at all, just because
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: it's so I mean, it's a live show. It's very intense.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: We're working every single day. There's no days off, no, no, nope,
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: we are.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Every single day.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: And then now it's getting harder because they're adding another dance,
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: so now we have two dances this week instead of
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: just one.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: So it's it's really hard.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: But I think you always have to keep a good
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: perspective like Okay, this will be over and like at
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: the end of the day, like what is most important
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: and that is my family and so making time making
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: sure that I go home and I disconnect from everything
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: at work, and like prioritize them and put my energy
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: into them as much as possible. So, I mean I try.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: I think every working mom can relate. It's it's really hard,
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: but you just have to kind of compartmentalize. You know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: when you're there, you're there, and when you're at work,
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: you're at work.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: How do you like keep your energy up? Like give
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: you the tips and the tricks.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Some tea, some caffeine, Like we're getting good.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: Make sure you're in bed, make sure you're getting your sleeps.
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: We're talking ten to seven, ten to seven, that's what
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: I get.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: I mean I should be getting.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: Ten Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, solid, Like I have.

• 24:56
  Speaker 7: He's like, I literally can't. It's metal, so you're broken.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Like put your chest out. I can't. I have a
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: metal plate.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Okay, just old football injuries creep up and kind of
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: get in the way of dance. It's yeah, it's I
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: don't bend certain ways, and some things are fused and
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: other things aren't.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: But you broke your sternum right or collar.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: Bone or something separated my s C joint in my chest,
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: so my chest like collapse so they had to like
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: fuse it together.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: And then I have rod. I have a rod in
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: my leg. That kind of my.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Ankle flexibility is trash. So it's like it's hard to
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: point and stuff like that. But you know, you gotta
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: you gotta function. Yeah, it's dance.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Life is the answer. Are you you're single? Do you
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: like to date?
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: I mean I've been single now.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: I got out of a relationship like a year and
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: a half ago, and it's been amazing. Like you know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: I'm just focused on being happy, being peaceful and doing
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: what I love to do and and just hanging out
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: with friends, stress free life.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: It's really nice, really nice.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, I get it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I like I I actually as much as I I
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: always knew I wanted to be married and I wanted
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: to have a family, but like I really did enjoy
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: my single life.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah what.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thriving.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: No, even like I feel.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Like you've just always wanted to be married. I feel
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: it's been like you've always just wanted that, I know.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: But the problem is like dating the wrong people can
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: suck you know exactly. It can like suck the life
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: out of you exactly. And so it was like those
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: pockets of moments when I wasn't dating anyone that it was.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Like I love you love those pockets.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Those pockets they're few and far between, but the pockets
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: were good.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah for sure.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: Right now, I'm just kind of protecting my piece and
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: it's all about respect and like it's not peace or
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: respect then, and I don't I just don't mess with it.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Do you see the thirst traps made of you though?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: On TikTok?
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: Have you seen any of that No, not really.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Made of him. What does that mean?
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: They're just like dancing him dancing but like you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: they'll throw in a slow mo or.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Like going faral over him.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dancing with the Stars couple they've ever like pair
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: they've ever had. When he's like I seen him, he
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't have time.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: I know, I'm like, I feel like I'm not even
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: scrolling anymore.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a question about when you are choreographing
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: a dance. How long does it take?
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: It takes like, m I think all in all, maybe
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: like four hours. Like I'll think about it and like
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: I'll mess with the edit and like I'll like think
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: about it in my head for a while and then
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: I'll actually put steps to it and that usually takes
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: about two hours, and then we'll like be changing things.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: So then i'll like put it on him and then
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: I'll see what works, and then we'll change some things
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: and we'll change some lifts, have some usually like plan B. Yeah,
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: so it's kind of a whole it's a whole process, Yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: throughout the whole week.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: So now when they add two dances in, that's eight
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: hours that you're having to spend creating a dance.
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: Kind yeah, this, this one's not as bad because we've
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: already done this dance style. Like the second routine that
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: they've added this week, we've already done it, so we're
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: just taking things that we've already done.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: So choreographically it doesn't take that much time.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: But like rehearsal, we'll have to split up our time now,
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: which is a little frustrating, but just the name of
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: the game, that's what we gotta do.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I'm just like amazed that your brain comes up with
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: these dances and then you put it into play and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: that that only takes you four hours. I'm just like
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: mesmerized by that.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: It's like all about the song. And if I get
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: excited about the song, like it always kind of inspires
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: me here and then I'll just kind of like think
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: of it there and then once I start dancing, I'll
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: just do what like feels good. So it's not really
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: it doesn't feel like it's super exhausting work, you know
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: what I mean, Like it just kind of feels like
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: it goes. And then like with ballroom, there's sequences of
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: dance moves, right, so like the Jive has like you know,
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: fifteen sequences of steps that you can do, so you
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: kind of just place them where and then the little tidbits,
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: the character moments or like the leg lift or whatever,
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: then you kind of just filter those through, if that
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: makes sense.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: It's kind of very different line I have.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, pardon my my naivete of football, but I understand
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that you retire from football because like it just gets
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: to a point where, like it's too physical.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: You can't do it anymore. Yeah, when you retire from football,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: what do you do after that?
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: I went into real estate before I retired, So I
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: build custom homes in Austin. I've been doing that for
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: about four or five years, either remodeling or I just
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: finished my last project a couple months ago. So getting in,
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: I wanted to kind of build a bridge from you know,
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: the football life into the real world.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And at least a lot of people stay in the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: football thing and they'll do commentating and like.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: All that stuff.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: But I feel like you took a very different route.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I just I'm I just I wanted
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: some I wanted to stay busy. I love to stay
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: busy and have meetings or have routine and have you know,
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: something to always work on. I did coach for the
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Raiders last year in Las Vegas, which it was a
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: great experience, good perspective to get, but it just wasn't
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: for me with hours and then you know, if I
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: wanted to see my life going a certain direction, that
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: it just wasn't going to be conducive. So got out
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: of coaching and I'm just kind of doing fun things now.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: And then you know, the real estate things always going
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: to be there.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: So so after you in the mirror ball, you're gonna
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: go back into real estate.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just find more, buy more land, build more stuff,
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: develop and and just it's always you know, I love
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: little projects like that.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: No, it's good.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fun.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's keeps you busy.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: She's actually building a house too, so at like half
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: of our rehearsals are like we're going over cabinet. It's
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: in marble and like, yeah, we're kind of textures and
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: like every.
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: Break or like would I think, yeah, which is it's fun?
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fun. The renovating process is fun.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I love it. Yeah, I'm obsessed with it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Do you have a vision when you talk about seeing
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the direction of your life goes, and you were saying,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: like the hours of coaching, Yeah, what does that look like?
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: What are Yeah?
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: So I mean I when I coach in Vegas, right,
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: And I mean, you know, I'm single, I don't have
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: a family, and if I were to be working in
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: the office for seventeen hours a day, like sixteen hours
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: a day, like, it's not really conducive to finding a
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: wife and having kids and kind of progressing. And I
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: don't need to, Like I played football for as long
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: as I wanted to, really like I'm invested, like I have,
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: you know, other means of income. I was just kind
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: of doing it to see what I felt about going
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: staying in football, and.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: You know it's just hours really wouldn't work it out.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: So it uh just.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: You know, I want to kind of, you know, use
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: the other half of my brain and do other cool things.
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: Travel see the world, meet cool people and and do
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: fun things. So luckily I got I've lived my dream.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: So it's like, now, what what do you do? I
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: feel like a child actor that's done acting.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I know, I think it's really cool that you still,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: like I think that you have that kind of aspiration
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: in you and that you want to keep doing something
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: because I mean, and I don't want to like take
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: it to a place, but like I feel like you
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: did very well in your football career, like you don't
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: have to do anything more, you know what I mean,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Like just like chill and I feel like the fact
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: that you do want to get up and you want
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: to do something and you want to keep doing stuff
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: like says a lot about you.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I have a little bit of add two, So
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: I'm always I always got to have something to do.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: You literally like sitting at home playing video games.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: I want to rematch.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: To the studio. What have you found to be harder?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: But a football season Special Forces with the Stars.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: I think the football season really related to Special Forces
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: training camp wise, and and for me it was just
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: like I went into the mentality and I was in
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: good condition, so I was going to be healthy. And
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: then I kind of went into training camp mode and
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I was like, all right, listen, this is going to
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: suck for ten days. We're going to get through it.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Every day is going to be groundhog day. It's going
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: to be all day affair. And it's a lot like
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: training camp actually for the for the NFL. So I
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: was used to that for Dancing with Stars, it's a
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: whole new box, Like you got to show vulnerability. You
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: really have to dance, you have to perform something, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: it's not just like all right, let's go and be
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: an athlete. Like you can't just go athlete your way
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: through this stuff. So that's been the biggest transition for this.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: This is definitely outside my comfort zone, which I love
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: to be in, and I feel like that offers, yeah,
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: offers a lot of growth and I'm definitely I feel like,
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: you know, I learned a lot from football, obviously, I
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: learned a lot from Special Forces and kind of the
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: vulnerability there and then all so this is completely different
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: on a more emotional aspect and more of a performance aspect.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: So I just I really love you. I think you're
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: so great.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: No, like really, it's really.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: This evolution that I had just like totally fallen for you.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: And I hope that, like I hope that you win
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: this season, and I hope that you really just get
• 34:17
