- 0:22Speaker 3: You went back to back. You had a little break
- 0:23Speaker 3: and then went back to back.
- 0:25Speaker 1: And then we decided we're going to do the absolute
- 0:28Speaker 1: opposite of the break. Yeah. No, and we haven't and
- 0:31Speaker 1: we haven't slept ever since. Oh I know, I feel
- 0:33Speaker 1: eleven eleven and a half months apart.
- 0:35Speaker 4: But it's been what a freaking roller coaster, man, you
- 0:39Speaker 4: know exactly what I'm saying is.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I do know, And it doesn't stop. But it's the best.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It's the best kind of tiring. Congratulations on Thank you
- 0:47Speaker 2: on the family right there?
- 0:48Speaker 3: Uh season season thirty four. I can't believe that. On
- 0:51Speaker 3: Dancing with the Star's return this week, a side from
- 0:54Speaker 3: her brother because I know he's on the show. Who's uh,
- 0:56Speaker 3: who's your early pick to win it all?
- 1:01Speaker 4: I mean, I'm gonna have to like just this is
- 1:04Speaker 4: just an eye eyeball test, you know, but like I'll
- 1:07Speaker 4: have to give it to uh my boy, Mark Ballast.
- 1:10Speaker 4: You know, he's got a you know, he's got a
- 1:13Speaker 4: front runner in my opinion, and I think that them
- 1:16Speaker 4: as a couple are a front of front runners, you know.
- 1:19Speaker 1: And that's not.
- 1:23Speaker 4: You have to you got me number one goglement right now,
- 1:27Speaker 4: she's from what she's from Mormon Wives.
- 1:29Speaker 1: But that also isn't.
- 1:31Speaker 4: A testament to the they're not the right you know,
- 1:36Speaker 4: them having a name. It's me, I don't watch anything,
- 1:38Speaker 4: you know, from one drop off to the next.
- 1:41Speaker 1: So anyway, no disrespect, but she's coming in with a
- 1:44Speaker 1: lot of death.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Whitney love it. I believe there you go is actually
- 1:48Speaker 3: there's two girls from Mormon Wives.
- 1:51Speaker 4: There, But I believe, yes, But I think Jen isn't
- 1:57Speaker 4: What I was told by my wife who's watched this
- 2:00Speaker 4: is that she may not have.
- 2:02Speaker 1: The same dance background as Whitney does.
- 2:05Speaker 4: And so and so it's again Mark and Whitney for
- 2:09Speaker 4: the front run. In terms of movement, I think, in
- 2:11Speaker 4: my opinion, there's going to be a couple of dark
- 2:12Speaker 4: horses whose stories are going to be compelling. I think
- 2:16Speaker 4: that we have Whitney, who dances with.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Uh, the brother of this is me again with names.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Wait isn't Whitney's not dancing with Ballas.
- 2:32Speaker 4: No Whitney, Whitney the dances she got paired up with.
- 2:36Speaker 4: Look at us, man who's getting old enough? Memory goes,
- 2:40Speaker 4: So Jane is dancing with Ballas. No, Whitney is the the.
- 2:47Speaker 1: But there's another, There's another. There's a lot.
- 2:50Speaker 2: There's a lot of them, I know for some reason,
- 2:52Speaker 2: like the Titlen out of Utah, Like, really, Whitney, Carson
- 2:57Speaker 2: got it there he goes to Whitney.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Carson's partner is Crockett. You know what's his name?
- 3:02Speaker 3: Irwin Ibon, There you go.
- 3:04Speaker 1: So I think that those two couples we're back. We're back.
- 3:08Speaker 1: We can do we can cut it out, but we're back.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Those two couples, in.
- 3:11Speaker 4: My opinion of front runners, Yes, and then and then
- 3:14Speaker 4: and I think, but but in my opinion, there's also
- 3:16Speaker 4: about three couples from what I kind of see so far,
- 3:20Speaker 4: who have a story, and one of them, in my opinion,
- 3:25Speaker 4: is also hilarious Baldwin.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Yeah, she has to dance, and that's.
- 3:32Speaker 4: That's the thing. She I didn't put it in the category.
- 3:34Speaker 4: I think that she has the most dance experience specific
- 3:38Speaker 4: for this particular show. Yes, he does, but she also
- 3:41Speaker 4: did seven kids in between, and she also had.
- 3:44Speaker 1: A life that's like a lot of life.
- 3:46Speaker 3: And that's not even exaggeration. By the way, seven kids.
- 3:49Speaker 3: It sounds like an exaggeration, but she literally had seven kids.
- 3:51Speaker 3: That's wild.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Oh no, you know, Max, I don't speak exaggerations the facts.
- 3:56Speaker 1: She has seven children, that's crazy.
- 3:58Speaker 4: I see Peter have three, and I'm like, listen, you
- 4:01Speaker 4: know times a ticket, you got to go back in
- 4:02Speaker 4: the bowlom anyway, but no, I think Hilario is going
- 4:05Speaker 4: to be that dark horse that people may really dislike or.
- 4:08Speaker 1: May really like.
- 4:09Speaker 4: And I think, you know, I'm here to see how
- 4:11Speaker 4: that turns out. There's two more couples. One of them
- 4:14Speaker 4: is my brother.
- 4:15Speaker 1: I think him and Alex, right, I think they might
- 4:19Speaker 1: be the couple that people will be like, oh, you know,
- 4:21Speaker 1: they're pretty, but she's not a dancer. I think they will.
- 4:24Speaker 4: You know, I think he's professionalism of season twenty. You
- 4:28Speaker 4: know it's Vals season twenty. Wow, my brother season twenty,
- 4:32Speaker 4: that's how Yeah, anyway, that's wild.
- 4:35Speaker 2: You know that's wild man, That's how it should be
- 4:37Speaker 2: a good one. Have you have you considered possibly making
- 4:39Speaker 2: a return back?
- 4:42Speaker 4: I mean I have, but I've also considered just thinking
- 4:45Speaker 4: about what, you know, what is the purpose here? You know,
- 4:49Speaker 4: Mark is coming back with girls that he's going to
- 4:51Speaker 4: do that thing with.
- 4:53Speaker 1: You know, that's not my thing. My thing is pure.
- 4:55Speaker 1: My thing is specific, you.
- 4:57Speaker 4: Know, and and I think that they may not be
- 5:01Speaker 4: room for me unless there's someone that's going to come
- 5:03Speaker 4: in and say.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Look, that's my you know, passion, I want max you
- 5:08Speaker 1: know what I mean.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll take that type of effort and then the
- 5:13Speaker 4: production would have to come and be like, listen, somebody,
- 5:15Speaker 4: he really wants to dance with you. But aside from
- 5:18Speaker 4: that is just not on my mind. I promise Dina
- 5:22Speaker 4: Cats you know, Dina, you know, with these girls, we
- 5:24Speaker 4: talk about this a lot and all the time. I
- 5:28Speaker 4: do keep my relationships, but my friend, I have so

- 5:57Speaker 4: She passed but she You know, every product has to

- 6:22Speaker 4: make it be vodka because that's what I grew up
- 6:25Speaker 4: with in watching people consume. It was never I never
