I need to let you guys stand up for the group. Yeah. Absolutely. I was looking down at one point. I was like, oh, but everyone in front of you is standing up. Yeah.

Okay, wait, what happened? Well, like, also, like, all the. like mark everyone i'm like i'm obsessed with these people now which is crazy because i was like at the welcome party before the show started and like i was just i was surrounded by all of these pros and i just didn't know and now i'm like i wish i could go back in time when i was having a conversation with mark and just tell myself hi you're talking to mark ballas like it's better though that like it's i know at least i was able to talk yeah but val have you seen you know the episode of heated rivalry where scott hunter like calls kip onto the stage or onto the ice onto the courts of the ice yeah this is what i felt like was happening with me and val last night what do you mean what happened to you and val last night what happened to val he was like getting ready to go on to the into the group dance and then he pointed in my direction and i was like looking around like hi like some Val's trying to get someone's attention like hi someone please look at Val and then he kept pointing and I was like Kat and I were like looking around like hello and then he was like you you and I was like me and I'm he was talking to you my heart heart stopped in my chest my heart stopped in my chest he goes you do and then he started singing into like talking into a fake microphone and I was like is he asking if I'm a singer and I was like i was like hi hi troy and then he was like you do the podcast with connor and i was like yes yes yes and then he was like awesome and i was like i love you man thank you and he was just i mean can you believe that that's so no imagine val shouting you out val knows who you are though like he sees all your videos he is so plugged in it was awesome that's i love that for you yeah because it really it was a cast member of my favorite show just like doing a personal one-on-one yeah it was it was yeah i really was cool so sweet it was cool that is sweet can i ask you guys a crazy question yeah who do you think i would be paired with oh who do you think i think she would have a lot of fun with brandon i was gonna say brandon yeah yeah i think you would really vibe with brandon like he's so funny he's so fun i love that and like you guys i got to know him oh my gosh they would actually be really really really funny okay i love that really enjoy some brandon time you would have a you would have a good time like that's most importantly you'd have a good time that's all that matters yes in a parallel universe absolutely we were talking about brooke going on previously and she just said there's not a world is it too scary yeah that's like i get like i've staged right right now really oh and i just yeah yeah like it's throw up i'm not gonna throw up right now would you throw up i would throw up on dancing with the stars yeah i would throw up yeah and it's just like no one wants to see that i don't want to go through it i thought that during the cha-cha i would probably throw up you were very nervous for that one i thought i would probably throw like it's gotten better right it's gone away completely what really the throw up yeah oh okay that's good the rest no when i sneak off right before the dance like same though like even as a dancer like it's very stressful when riley tells me little things i'm like oh those clicks those clicks before the dance start when i think think do those show up on tv no when you watch back now oh my god you guys I can't hear them these freaking clicks I will hear these for the rest of my life yeah I hear kind of similar things to these clicks stomach drops no they make my tummy genuinely but Riley will tell me like oh yeah that never goes away oh this week you were like I'm really nervous for this dance and then right before you were like I'm actually not nervous I'm usually really nervous for the dance I'm like you're nervous before a dance is usually always connor well i'm nervous for myself obviously because i'm like i need to dance good and i need to be good but then i'm also nervous for you you know like i want you to be able to like feel good and do well but no i get like i get nervous for opening numbers i get nervous for everything like i get nervous for little tiny shows like tour shows i get nervous before every single one um i may look confident but like inside i'm kind of freaking out always yeah that's amazing that you push through that yeah you guys and i try to like compose myself because i don't want to stress you out if i'm nervous but like without a doubt it doesn't it doesn't i was gonna say you know that opposite cycling thing yes that's good when you get stressed out i'm like hey we're good but then when you're like like last night you were so calm you're like i'm usually stressed i'm not stressed i was like biting my nails i was pacing i was like can we go over this and that was like the thing that i do that i don't like yeah when we start rehearsing the dance in this like narrow narrow hallway and there's like people genuinely trying to do their job extension cords everywhere yeah and i'm like move i need to do the opening line and then and it doesn't matter like we have it down like doing it doing it two more times right before the dance does not matter it's not gonna do i was doing that last night you were very nervous you kept being like can we go over this can we go over this and i was like oh no he's nervous well this is that was one of the dances last night where it's like the first step really truly that was like a grading step yes well and it was right in front of the judges like it was first step if you dipped your like chest at all did i dip no i actually didn't think you did when i dip you dip i dip when i dip you dip we dip is dip a matter of framing dip is a matter of framing it's in the shoulders if you go back and watch like my fox shot or anything i feel sick i feel sick you're they should have taken me out back and shot me but how great is that you've improved so much oh it's fabulous yeah like i look back at her even her tango like connor sick in the head what was the first dance cha-cha cha-cha i love it when you say tango that's still one of my favorites and guess honestly same we you know it's funny to think i was like oh my god how do we do that first one to nail it three weeks we had to plan that one and yeah practice oh guess what connor i don't know if i can include this but we're going against mark and mora for the relay and we're doing cha-cha to a cheryl song so it's country yes playing live at the show next week what she's gonna be at the show yeah but it's a country song so we can like shut up we're literally gonna just do our cha-cha oh that's the way that god has a plan and i'm laughing along with along with him that will be so great but mark and more they are very good we have to lock in and very sharp country i'm i'm happy with whatever happens that's a pretty much a layup in my book yeah in terms of just like fun yes it'll be so fun and and we i think we we blossom if you will we blossom we blossom if you will when we're having fun and country like that's fun that's so fun yeah sure i'm excited to see mora do country i love her yeah mora is so cute the best person on the planet genuinely and she's just so real she is so real i was laughing so hard at her commentary after her scores or before her scores but she was like i hated that yeah like i love everything about this show really well really well said yeah yeah have you guys haven't done the jive yet have you no but it'll be coming up do you have a least favorite that you're like if i don't have to do that i won't um samba yeah yeah i like i like hey that is the hardest one but connor it clicked at the live show honestly like it was great that was the orange pan yeah and that was everyone's halloween costume i mean we're not being great on how how we touch culture yeah if we were it'd be done and dusted 10 10 yeah all across the floor yeah i mean that was a fabulous that was a fun performance yeah technically i like that one i loved that one too it was me too and that was one of my favorite dances and also just like going out to hips don't lie by security like it is bone chilling in a similar sense as like we were all in this together yeah it was like hips don't lie do you ever i don't know if you were thinking about this at all but like sitting there and watching right i don't know if you know but like i'm like very like obsessed with high school musical and like that's a big part of like my childhood and broadway and just

nice i thought that you need to i thought that he was immune it'll be fun it's gonna give us more screen time wait will cheryl sing our song we're doing yeah she's singing cheryl singing our song yes cheryl singing for you wow wow yeah yeah that is nuts yeah it's gonna be so oh that's that's bananas cool that's savannah bananas yeah did you feel like connected to cynthia's presence as a judge last night like to me that was like cynthia revo's in the ballroom that was crazy like actually seeing her in person and like next to my to me and then like talking about me dancing and like she saw my work that like is insane and she was touched and she was touched cynthia is like yeah you know what like say you can you can watch all of her press interviews you can do whatever you want you see these performances when she's looking at you that that is a real real feeling that she gives like she's she's feeling these things she's saying yeah it is not fake she's looking at me and it was as if she had was entering my body and telling me these things from inside of my body like it's so powerful no she's very powerful her eyes like yeah she was she had like actual her eyes are probably just like healthily wet but like it looked like she was tearing up and i was telling myself oh she's tearing up because of her dance she was not you think i think it was i think it was an emotional dance but i think that she might just be healthy i was tearing up yeah oh during rehearsal i heard you and i was like oh she's about to yell at me i miss the staff oh i think you're just clearing your throat when during rehearsal dress rehearsal because we nailed it yes no i during dress rehearsal i almost cried i cried the morning of camera blocking and then also it wasn't really shown in our package but like i was very emotional when i came that day we had a really cute heart to heart they decided to cut it they cut it which valid um but yeah it was kind of like it was a cute moment this week i feel like we hit like a we've hit a stride and now we're like at the end and we're just gonna push and hopefully make it to the finale i like i know you will thank you there's not a doubt in my mind that you will be in the finale and i've made my thanksgiving plans around it thank you you guys kind of that's the manifestation yeah yeah i know you will that's i've been waiting to to book my thanksgiving stuff and i last night i was like okay i'll book after the finale oh that's so sweet i'm really excited thank you yeah i mean no thank you it like actually makes me like nervous we can say we can talk about next week by the way oh yeah because it comes out before this comes out yeah this okay okay do you want to do it i think riley should yeah next week it's grammy night and so we were like going into the drawing board like what do we do and then connor had mentioned he wanted to maybe do justin timberlake and his songs on the show always are just so good yeah and we're doing sexy back it's i'm so excited i we're doing argentine tango we're doing an argentine tango to sexy back but i worked with these people they're called district 78 to make it like more argentine tango it is done in argentine tango that i can like reference val and jenna did one for halloween so it's like a bunch of flicks and like and then like you don't even like no the song like i don't think i've ever danced to a better like created song in my life it is it's like bone chill i love it it's like a i listened again last night i'm like oh this is it's so i am so crazy it's not like just the original sexy back it's got it's got flavor to it it has so it sounds like its own original piece yeah i'm very excited haunting that's how i can it's haunting i'm so excited yeah so then after that it's semi-finals yeah which what do you what's the i guess it's different yeah there's no theme for like semi-finals but it's just one latin dance and one like ballroom dance so frame dance and it's just like one final that you haven't done yet and it's like two minute and a half dances whoa that's the hardest week on this show i would say because the finale you have a lot to do but it's like it's the last week like let's freaking go yeah we only have five more days of this but in semi-finals it's like this is really hard we may make it to finale we don't know right oh amazing wait connor you're just saying oh amazing because you're nervous no i'm just thinking about having done two dances last night and just like barely making it no i like couldn't breathe at all and i'm i'm sweating so much that people in the audience like i think that they thought that i was passing out but it's just because i was so wet that the camera people like sent in the big people sent in like 45 people to dry me off someone brought a beach towel really yeah and i was like thank you but like please bring one of the small ones yeah like there's so many people looking you don't need to bring a beach towel please bring a small towel next time he gets that for me my dad bragging about how much he sweats i love him so i love your parents i do too they've been so fun to sit with i saw i saw a cute video last night when we got the team dance stands and he turns around to the people behind him it's like like we're at church turn to the person on your right and introduce yourself yeah yeah oh yeah he has plans with caleb's family to go to the giants game oh yeah one you don't live in new york you live in texas how are you going to my favorite thing about him on dedication it was it was like we couldn't find your dad and he was just talking to someone new yeah he had golf plans with one of the guys on security yeah no i love it it's amazing it's really special we were talking about the lore of the show oh at the very beginning i think it's i think it's interesting that lindsey riley's older sister was how long was lindsey on the show like 10 years yeah so you were like a baby when she started oh my god oh my gosh like i so you can't go to the tapings till you're eight years old and so like when i was officially of age to go and like watch these shows i remember being there and being like this is gonna be me like there is literally nothing that is gonna stop me from being here like i watched that and just like fell in love with it i also just like i've always loved teaching like as much as i love dancing i love to teach and so i just saw that and i got to see firsthand like what it actually is like and i'm like oh my gosh i'm so excited to be here and i'm like oh my gosh i'm so excited to be here and lindsey is i mean connor you know i call her for literally everything i'm about to call her well yeah we'll be in rehearsal and i'm like in a pickle and i'm like i'm just gonna call lindsey we'll figure it out with her but she has been like literally my guiding light it is so funny when we call her too because obviously she's busy she's a mother mama bear sure three but she'll she'll answer in pajamas folding while actively folding laundry and be like and be like this she'll stand up in her closet she's like folding laundry busy busy busy and she's like okay so i think if you guys maybe went here and then back i think that that could really fit well into this no literally and it's like yeah but like she's right turns it on such a show no lindsey was like honestly one of the best of her time like in my opinion i mean she's my sister but like she was really good she like she knows is it in me i guess it's in your blood like do your parents dance like yeah no my parents never dance my mom showed horses growing up my dad played football there's movement in both of those things yeah that's true yeah but like we all as girls were just put in dance my mom had a dance studio all growing up so we like all went to the same dance studio and like our family time was at dance and yeah we just like grew up loving it it was the best that's what's nice about having all sisters yeah like we had a common ground that's amazing yeah it's so fun i wish i was one of you i really do you can if i could dance never too late i would it's too late what would you i would just never stop moving i guess it's like if i could like sing really well i'd never stop yeah i say that about singing yeah like i wish i'd never stop yeah i would never stop oh i'd be inside i'd be so horrible yeah what would you what would you do if you weren't dancing good question well teaching you're so like yeah maybe like maybe i've been like a school teacher yeah you would be good yeah like elementary school like i think that could have been fun i mean i like when i graduated high school i really wanted to get a job on the show but like they don't always just like add new pros especially like in older seasons like if you're contracted they they keep you on like they're very loyal um and then I really wanted to get on didn't know if it was gonna happen and then I had like a zoom meeting with Dina and Conrad who are like the head of the show and I just like sold myself basically I was like I I can do it I can do the job I'm only 18 but I can do it and I want it are you the youngest pro ever I think so yeah I think I was yes I mean you can't be any younger than 18 so like right legally um but I was like hoping for the best like two weeks passed by and all my friends are like getting ready to go to college and I'm like I don't I don't know what I'm doing anytime someone would ask me I'm just like I don't know so I actually signed up for esthetician school I wanted to become an esthetician and do like facials and all that I signed up and then literally within like hours got the call that I got the job and then I was like thank goodness you could still you could still look at your skin I know it's just thank you thank you I really was into that kind of stuff I also like did accutane so I was like really into like skin things really yeah when I think I was 22 and it was I was teaching it's poison I was teaching and I remember like I was always sitting on the ground yeah with the kids but my joints were so stiff that I needed like six of them to help me out you guys you're like kids help me y'all teacher brooks on accutane please help and my lips were like bleeding down my face I would go on it again in it changed my life I got another pimple accutane it changed my like oh my gosh I can't even believe it's allowed to be like distributed people there are people that go on it I think you can go on it three times there are people that go on it three times and it sucks because it doesn't work sometimes for people like you after five years of doing it your acne can come back and so I've been trying not to let that happen but I guess you can't really control it actually it's scary it is really scary Connor has perfect I know he wouldn't know perfect skin no well my my skin the way my skin works is I get the underground pimples is what I like I've always called them under the skin under the skin and there's it's cystic I guess yeah so I've been in silence you know struggling behind the scenes but then sometimes one of them makes it to the surface I haven't seen a single white head on your face not one time because of my age I don't really get pimples like if I were to get a pimple now I'd be like it'd be due to outside factors yeah such as yeah and not excluding chin hair mustache hair prosthetics on my face prosthetics on my forehead prosthetics on my neck and back see I'm shocked you have a broken out like yeah I am too well I have one under my eyebrow right now but really yeah oh and then you also have that one right here that one has been yeah see it's it's been there for yeah it's just an under the skin it won't

to your podcast i hope not i sure hope not you guys want to hear something bizarre that happened to me yesterday yeah right before the show i stopped at the grocery store i go to and i went to get oatmeal and because i had a later start and i run into this man he's like connor he's an older gentleman in his 50s and i was like hey i don't know who i've met who i haven't met these days i met you in 2019 in long beach and it all came back to me i had stopped at this store in long beach to get a plant and i was loading it up into my car for my apartment when i moved to la like the week that i moved to la didn't know anybody and this this guy walks by he's talking just kind of like nice day you know yeah it is a nice day huh it's really like blah blah and he's like you want to get a piece of pizza and i went and got a piece of pizza i remember this random guy which like you probably don't do that but i did that and we sat and had a piece of pizza i also had no money so i was like free lunch i paid i think he was looking for a piece of pizza yeah and we talked for a little bit and then i left him that's at the store so cute did you guys like remember it you had a moment yeah i was like oh my god pizza guy i don't remember what we talked about yeah at all yeah but we were just talking and like i was like oh i don't live here anymore you know i'm like oh my god i don't live here anymore i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm living here right now blah blah but didn't ask him any questions about himself which i you know i should work on that but imagine that guy's pov seeing you on dancing with the stars and thinking like oh he doesn't watch wait i went to pizza with him i went and got pizza with him i don't think he watches he doesn't strike me as like someone okay imagine him walking in the grove and there's your photo yeah exactly wait that's my pizza friend yeah that's my pizza friend yeah yeah it's really cool that is cool that's so funny when i moved to la for your like job job for my job post-college i spit on you it's okay for my job job post-college wow did you move to la 2019 oh you already said that sorry did i oh yeah you did say 2019 it was a weird time when i moved to la because i had like no friend i had genuinely no friends didn't know anybody in la proper like i i didn't know anybody yeah met my roommates on facebook and that was all i was going on like i was training for the marathon because it would just like make me so tired that i could fall asleep oh no it's not sad it's good it's funny okay and then right when i got here i got mono and they told me i was the oldest person that they've seen get mono yeah there's no way at that point i was oh you were young yeah younger but no you can get mono and well into your in your adulthood yeah if you're like making out with a bunch of people or like sharing drinks and stuff yeah i guess you were probably doing that yeah exactly yeah well i'd gone to i'd gone to acl and at and we were all like sharing a water bottle like a camelback or something oh but yeah i got back i had mono and i had my brand new job that i just got and i thought i was depressed and i was like oh my gosh i'm like i i remember being in a meeting and being like this is a great job show up like stay with me i'm like i'm not going to wake and i was like oh my god my head's gonna hit the desk like in the middle of meeting i was so heavy heavy heavy tired yeah i was like oh my gosh i must be that depressed there's just full blown mono dang beyond i go home on a friday get home fall asleep at 6 p.m wake up at 11 and i'm like wow i took a five hour nap it was 11 a.m on sunday i slept through a day wow six p like through from 6 p.m on friday woke up 11 a.m on sunday and then i was like wait 11 a.m and i look outside it's dark i go something's so off the fires had hit santa monica and so the sky was pitch black people had evacuated no one woke me up and then i go to call my mom my first time i've talked to her you went in several days yeah my throat had swelled up so much from the lymph the nodes my nodes were swollen this is a really sad story okay it's funny to me it is it's really sad oh it's just one of those where like i'm like oh how fun this would be on our bnc bingo board though connor's mono story yes my nodes were so swollen that i called my mom and she picked up first i'm talking to someone in three days mom i don't know what so i'm talking to her she's like what what i walked to urgent care no one's outside i was like then i had convinced myself that the world ended while i was asleep i was the only one alive i get to urgent care i'm like oh this is not how i sound usually i usually sound normal the girl's like sit down i'm like no i need to see someone now and like no one believed me that this wasn't how i sounded normally and i was like no you have to understand this is not me i don't usually do this i don't usually do this i'm way out of my comfort zone right now and i was just like please and they were like you have mono and i was like okay and they were like and strep oh so the mono like lowered my immune system enough to where i got strep as well shout out to antibiotics though because i took genuine shout out genuine shout out antibiotics fix strep all the time it's awesome like i'm always so thrilled when i have strep because it's like you can fabulous there's a pill for that yeah fix it yeah mono there there is no test for mono either rest so it's just like rest and liquids and it was like well i just got this job so guess who got mono probably my whole team because i was going to show up at work i'm not going to be the person that takes off work for you know i get that i wasn't making out with them or anything my coworkers even though i'll say it time and time again my manager pulled me aside was like work is way more fun when you have a work crush and i was like are you telling me what are you saying it wasn't that good i was like i'm not telling you that i'm not telling you that though okay we look we watch her in the office she was like let's pick someone that's okay i was like this seems backwards and also we have work no damn she is right yeah sadly work is fun when there's a really yeah i haven't had a crush in like a few days i'm debit i'm miserable if you do you think that val maybe took that oh it's like that's my that's my family yeah you know it's a different it's a different response yeah but didn't you be careful i think you can say careful it's okay sam will bleep it oh yeah but we can't say that i think you can what it's okay no i don't we walked in cat and i walked in about changing i don't get how you could have walked in we didn't well he was doing it because he was doing with the door open oh like but like trailer he was just in his panties oh okay he does that all the time yeah like it wasn't a private moment for him but it definitely felt like it felt private for you too yeah yeah but he was for anyone like a definite eye contact like but like he wasn't like necessarily wearing clothes in his underwear yes well you wore those walking around all day yeah but just like but they were more of like a what's the girl like um speedo oh really i think i mean does he wear those he was in briefs i think it was a tidy maybe not no he pulls them up okay maybe they were pulled up i don't know i like no i know i know he pulls his briefs up okay cool love that for him that fashion he's got a good body i would do this i would do the same thing with my briefs i'll do the same thing with my brief yeah i mean i did on the show i i pulled my tearaways off and they wanted me to put my tearaways on over my sweats i'm like you guys see how like there's gonna be no show if i rehearse in sweats and my tearaways yeah i'll pass yeah away yeah then you were just in your undies though he's like standing at the Judd is just trying to hide the fact that he's in his underwear. And then that one. But I'm so glad you were wearing underwear. Right? Because. I said the same thing. Let's all count our blessings. He, every time, he doesn't usually do that. Not right now. Whenever we have like a commercial to shoot or like any sort of thing. Ew. Yeah. Why do you not wear underwear? Solid question. It's our day off. Connor, that seems crazy. To just be going commando all the time? Yes. Why? But we'll have like a shoot to do and we'll be getting fitted for something. And he's telling the, and he's always telling the stylist like, oh, I'm not, sorry, I'm not wearing underwear. And it's like, you need to wear underwear when you're getting a fitting. Yeah. Sometimes I think that they might provide. No, it's BYO. And undies? It's definitely BYO. Really? Yes. You need to wear underwear to like a fitting. Yeah. My bad. When I feel really, really terrible, this is. You don't dance with no underwear. No, I have, I have adopted underwear. Okay. Now, because of the show. Perfect. Because I'm working out. I'm sweating a lot. Yeah. Yeah. You need to protect. Yeah. Yes. I promise you I'm wearing underwear on this show. That has never been a question or a hesitation. You always do talk about how tight they are. And I'm like, is he not used to undies or something? No, he's like, it's new. It's a new. He's like, it hurts. It hurts. It's a new sensation. Okay. I'm also doing like a lot of different things with my body that I don't, like a normal man does not do. Mm-hmm. Also, hmm, two things. Okay. One, I, it's. Sometimes when they mic you up, they have to put their hand into your pants. That's true. And I'm like, hang on, don't, you know. Mm-hmm. And then the second thing is they have these like elastic things for shirts to hold them down, especially like in our contemporary when I had to up, down, all around with my shirt. So they put elastic things like. He had the arm of his butt. They have these elastic things that they attach to your shirt. And so you have to actually step into your shirt. Oh, yes. Those things will go. Yeah. Right up into your ass. Sure. And they did within. Trying to pick it. Within seconds. On the show, I go, all right. I'm going to show you the video. Yeah. Show her the video. And I'll put it on the. I want to see it. I'll send it to you. Yeah. Show her the video. Yeah. It, it was G-string vibes. I can't really picture it. No, it was like girl calm. Oh, don't. You won't need to picture it. I'll, I'll send it to you. Looking forward. It was just strings. Just, just the G-string. This is, I had Riley film. I was like, I can't imagine what this looks like. I'm not sure it is. I didn't know how it was the whole thing. Okay. How else is that supposed to sit? If not up your butt. I think, I guess up your butt. But here. Just the white strings. I don't see how else that would. It is. The G-string. Yeah. I know that was so annoying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it kept the shirt down. And that was probably my favorite outfit. The shirt fit really well. I think it's because of the G. Because of the G. Yeah. Yeah. Holds it right in place. That makes sense. I have two more dancing questions. Is that okay? Hit us. For Riley though. Yes. Hit her. When, I, when you're choreographing, like how? Like do you just. That's a good question. Do you just hear the song and see the steps in your head? Like how do you do that? How does it, how do you do that? Yeah. So I'll usually like, I'll get the song. I'll listen to it a bunch. I'll like count the eights. So I'll like count through the song of what it is. And I'll just go through it and be like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. That's one, two, two. And I'll count it on a piece of paper and then I'll piece it. So I'll be like, this is the intro. This is the little section before the chorus. This is the chorus. This is a little trick section. This is the final button. Done. So I'll like piece it out. How long does that take you? Like 20 minutes, 20 minutes to choreograph a whole dance. No. Shocking. To piece it. But then I get with somebody, like I'll get with my best friend, Carter. He's my roommate. He's my best friend. But I'll get with him and we'll like go to a studio or literally just do it in the apartment. And we'll just like, he'll help me with some moves. Like if I get stuck, but we just piece it together. But then there's like sometimes like if we have like a ballroom dance in frame, like I'll get with a ballroom coach. That I've taught, like has taught me before and I'll like piece it together with him. And it's just, you can't choreograph a dance on your own. Like I couldn't just sit in a chair and be like, okay, we're going to do this and it's going to look awesome. I think you could. You think so? Yeah. 100% if you had to, I know that you could. Yeah, I could if I needed to. But like, I also want to come prepared. Sure. Like I don't want to like, I only have a certain amount of time with Connor. Like I want to get the choreography out. I don't want to be like thinking about like what's happening. But it's just like. Second nature. I don't know. But it gets hard for sure. Like there's times like middle of the season. I'm like, I don't have any creativity left in me. Like, what do I do? No. No worries. I got this one. Yeah. It's really like when I like take a step back, like from just like being amazed at you two dancing. It's like, well, Riley made this dance. Like it's really, it's pretty mind blowing. Yeah. It's like, it's a crazy prep process. Like this week, I'll probably prep for next week, like in like two days or so. How do you keep two dances? Or more in your head at the same time? And I mean, there's been times where I've literally known like 35 dances in one time in like a span of like, like I one time I was stepping in for tour, like because the girls were leaving to Australia to film this show. And I was stepping in for them. So I learned like all of their tracks. So like all their individual dances and like the different things they're doing in the group dances. And I learned like 35 dances in two days. Like, it's just I don't. It's like. I don't know how like our dancer brains do it. But it really it stretches your brain like actually like it. It's just how you're crazy. I watched when we were in the room with the team dance, like watching Jenna, Duann and Harry, even Ezra, just like it was as if like Val and everybody just kind of like airdropped them the moves of this dance. And like, what the hell did you guys? What did you guys just do? But sure. It shows like how much work you're putting in. Genuinely. Like when I was in that room and yes, you're a little bit slower to pick up the choreography. Obviously, you've never done this before. Yeah. But like, you've never done this before. Yeah. But to see that actually firsthand and be like, wait, Connor has a road that he kind of has to go up with with learning these dances. But he still shows up every week, like on the same level as these guys. You were on the you were dancing with Ezra, Jenna and Harry equals. Yeah. Like you did not falter at all in that. Yeah. Team dance. And like that just is a testament to how hard you're working. Thank you genuinely so much. That's that's the nicest thing to hear. Can I say that it took me until until genuinely yesterday? Yeah. To realize Riley brought up the eight counts. One, two, three, four. I kept being like, Riley, can you count me in? I forgot that I can count. Yeah. I can count. You don't have to carry everything alone, though. Yeah. Put it on me. You're right. Just make me do it. There was only one set of footprints. It was because Riley had me on her shoulders. But I genuinely was like, Riley, I don't know when eight is. I can count. Yeah, I can count. You can count. And that sounds so stupid. But when everyone else is counting, Val's yelling for, you know, like, yeah, I can count four in my head. I am capable. I am strong. You are. You are smart. You are absolutely. You really can. Oh, well, that was a cool realization that needed to happen eight weeks, two months into the freaking competition. Like, God forbid that happened week two. Never stop growing. No, for sure. But that's like a pretty basic skill to remember that I can count. Well, you can. Now you can do that. No. Now moving forward, of course. Yes. With our Venetian Waltz. Yeah. I mean, you've already done that. Argentine Tango. Venetian Waltz. I love the Venetian Waltz. Yeah. Oh, it's a really special dance. Wait, which one? What was which one was the Venetian? Your dad. That was. Yeah. Okay. That was my favorite. Yeah. That one's really pretty. I'm really at the end of. Well, actually, would you get mad if at the end of the season I ranked my favorite dances from favorite? No. But I'm not going to. I'll do. What's your favorite? My favorite so far besides high school musical group dance. Hmm. I like there's a I have a well, obviously, dedication night. I think. Oh, my God. Contemporary. But that doesn't count. Yeah. Contemporary doesn't count. Yeah. Dedication. That was gorgeous. Really? And stunning. Yeah. I just I love what you did. And your relationship with your dad is very beautiful. I liked week one. Yeah. I think week one really. Really. Place in my heart. We were so happy after that. Yeah. Like, so you should have been. And I also think just like watching that was the most like. Wow. Moment I've ever had in my life. Like, what do you mean? What? He's doing it. He's. He's really up there. Yeah. So that was really special. That is I don't remember a time when I wasn't on this show. I don't either. But before you know it, it's going to be over. It's so sad. It can't be over. You have to be one of those like kids who can't say goodbye to their teachers at the end of senior year. Like, you need to go back in the ballroom like every year. He's going to be a. So they're going to have to put a picture of me. Yeah, you need to do not let him in. Yeah, he's going to. You need to be a podcast. Yeah. - Yes. - Please. reserve the table to the left of the judges or right five top yeah the five top can we get some chicken tenders yeah i'm fully eating dinner at the at the show i live here yeah yeah oh my gosh like when i can't even like even fathom not being your partner like what there's gonna be a different season that's what i don't get you guys do this yeah every like you're just like a chapter in my book and i'm your whole book i almost the mic went fully into my mouth that's so crazy i'm just kidding you're just a chapter you are my whole book you are my whole book but it's kind of crazy it's like you do your chapter and you have to put that much like emotion effort into every like i do not fault you i will say connor i'll see i'll see your next partner in the parking lot for sure about to say something special but you yeah i'm about to say something special i will say connor this has been my favorite season and that's because of you genuinely i mean sam i if genuine it's his favorite season too right it's my favorite season that i've ever been on no i i told her i was like i would have self-eliminated week two if if i had anyone yeah if i had anyone else we were genuinely we are having more fun than anyone else and i will say that with my heart we were divinely matched because i i said last night i'm a giver-upper like i have no i have no pride like if if things are hard why are we doing if i don't have to be doing something that's hard i see you yeah but like you're pushing through yeah yeah no time it's because you've made it doable you know and that's a huge doable sounds like a throwaway word but it it has weight here because it wouldn't have been it wouldn't have been doable frankly or and then let alone enjoyable yeah and now we've hit a stride which is i'm loving this i'm loving the stride like even if you're not enjoying it you're not even when things get tough like when i get sassy and you get sassy we come right back to where we need to be like always yeah how much of a say did you have in your partner none none we get no say absolutely at all really yes but i like i had a feeling it was connor and well you thought it was little huddy i thought i had little huddy what made you think you would little huddy well so i heard you get somebody i heard from somebody that he's like on the shorter side and he's slim fantastic thank you i heard i heard they were like he goes by he goes by something not his actual name and so i was like his name is chase hudson but he goes by little huddy and i was like oh and i like put in all the like clues that i've gotten and who's giving you these clues um just like random whisperings from people okay like pros find out like it literally just like we all try to figure out who we have right and we don't obviously know till they step in the room but like we all really don't know until the reveal yeah and then i stalked you and i was like wait that would make sense because he goes by fibula his real name's connor and so i was like it could be him but i was like i don't know and then it was well yeah i couldn't what's really funny is i didn't get the call to be on the show until three days before we started filming that's crazy oh so you were uh i just had a very open schedule they were waiting they were waiting for my shining star yeah someone may have died or something and i they were like he's open he's he's free for sure so goodness wait i shouldn't have said that thank goodness no it's okay um yeah so i had no mental prep i had nothing yeah it was like genuinely moved into my new apartment in new york left two days later yeah slept there twice i have slept in my apartment that i'm paying for new york that's for the for the past three months twice well you know it's gonna feel so good when you bring home that mirrorball into oh yeah there's plenty of room what's the first thing you're gonna do after that mirrorball win manifesting obviously it's thanksgiving i don't know i haven't i hadn't really thought about like honestly if we make the finale it's gonna be celebration nation for sure i know people say is there a party yeah there's a end of season party so we'll go to that is it but then if we make this if we make no you're invited but we do go if we make the finale i think we go to gma like on a plane that night yeah but i don't know i don't know if they're doing that this year nally private jet hopefully i hope i want to go in the so bad the the storage no there was a plane crash like two days ago okay don't put that in sorry i'm scared of flying i don't that's why i have those pills i hope we make the finale i have a really good idea for a freestyle i am i am i am positive you will thank you and i like i'm a little i can be a little bit of a witch okay please i'm really positive you will and if i don't i'm holding this like my witch powers will be revoked like okay in the space and i would i don't take that lightly okay yeah perfect i care a lot about my witch title weird powers really little halloween do you have like really good intuition i don't know what it is it's just like there's like so much of my life and the stuff around me that i've just like willed into ocd space maybe yeah but that actually sucks to have ocd and be somebody whose thoughts do come to fruition a lot what does it have a really bad intrusive thought and be like that and it will come true because i what is a weird one that yeah has come true or like in some way i mean i just think like my whole existence of like growing up in like just like being lady efron and now being here is so weird yeah that is funny you know my like screen name my aol username was like lady efron because i was obsessed with zach efron and now i've got my own wildcat you know yeah you do my wildcat to my right and got dylan efron to my left and yeah i've made it on your team you've genuinely i've really made it yeah but that's not a good example i don't know what i've done there's been there's been a few weird things it's been like there's one that sticks out to me you wore a sweater on here that's a dump him that was so weird i message my friend was dating someone that i was like this this has to stop yeah but like there was no signs of stopping anytime soon and i was like this is horrible so i bought this i was being petty and i bought this sweater that said dump him with a dump truck and i was like i'm gonna wear this in the manifestation space which is here because like maybe like one day god willing like the universe will get the sign i get a text like while i'm sitting here that my friend's boyfriend broke up with him i was like that's crazy wait the dump him space that's amazing yeah i love that thanks that's good yeah if you ever get a breakup i can wear my dump him sweater okay perfect do you want to manifest anything while you're yeah um mirrorball mirrorball manifest a mirrorball wow lock in corners like that's a twofer that's depending on me we can i have faith yeah i have to trust the process this long yeah i watched the dance back we got a bunch of we got the feedback on frame and i watched it back there was a i'm not kidding half a second where the frame dropped i'm not kidding it was half a second yeah it's okay that's what they're gonna look at i know but that like to have a half a second of a droop in a frame yeah i'll take that yeah exactly has good eyes it's fun to watch derek during that because he was just going like this the whole time like frame frame but he was having a blast yeah i'm not kidding i'm not kidding i'm not kidding our dance was really pretty it really was like really really and our costumes and the set like the fog the candles like it was i loved when you guys were in the canoe yeah it was so cute on your chin fine on my hair you like kind of like got stuck on my like hairspray hair i was that's what happened something yeah oh i ripped it two or three pieces of your hair oh did you i don't know if you guys saw but danny's dress got so stuck in ezra's prosthetic daniella's yes that's so stressful for it was like the most stressful moment of my life it was stuck i didn't see that it was stuck in there and it i thought they were just gonna have to finish the dance like that just like really really close together but it just it just magically unraveled but it was like it was almost a moment in time my heart dropped to my ankles yeah that's actually so scary that's my a costume malfunction is my worst nightmare well when we did our first step is in between your legs and you had that dress on i was like and how would this work and it did and it did yeah but how about that guy in the opening number that slipped fell and pulled it off did you magically recover yes that's diego coolest thing i've ever seen in the newsies section he slipped right at the start and he is like an extra dancer but he's like he's danced with like tate mccray like he's like a very like diego yeah he's like a very well-known dancer but he did the newsy section and he slipped but the way he effortlessly like it landed right back up i didn't i didn't even notice and yeah look it made the dance cooler to me no like his recovery was like right into it oh i thought that was on purpose yeah no it kind of did and then i was like oh no but like like pointed toes of everything and he didn't he's not missing a beat no has a pro ever messed up like during a day like fallen or like something horrible has happened like during oh yes a dance yes absolutely happens all the time like all the time a pro falling a pro getting caught in their dress or like my sister lindsey she they had like a towel in her dance and she like she like dropped her towel on accident her partner slipped on her towel and it was like a whole thing and how do you recover you just feel bad because you're just like when they mess up it's like whatever yeah but you're not the person that's supposed to be messing up right so like you really take it to heart have you messed up any of the answers i did in dress rehearsal for halloween i genuinely like i i loved when she messed up i was like get your act together girl no we were in dress rehearsal and we're doing the dance and i'm messing up every other run i forgot an arm like i don't okay i was thinking about shirley ballas in her dressing room like if you know shirley is like my coach like i would go to her all the time that's with shirley yes me too no she's the best like if i needed to be whooped into shape and like good for a competition i went to shirley but comes with nerves obviously like she's like i want to impress her right like i really want to impress her and i messed up thinking about that like genuinely messed up thinking about sure did you mess up thinking about sure did you notice where i really messed up sure yeah really well what did you do i like there's a part where he has to grab my wrist and like put it over because i'm a doll i can't move my arm by myself and i just moved it on my own and then it was like kind of awkward between us it is weird when like one one piece is off like your other pieces can move but like a like me not doing the arm and getting up her i'm already being there like it really threw us off interesting i didn't have her hand for the spin but like we did this stuff it untrained eyes i didn't have her hand for the spin it untrained eyes i didn't have her hand for the spin i didn't have her hand for the spin i didn't have her hand for the spin it would be fine it's just like the details matter i was like i'm sorry connor i i did that one bad he was really good at the contemporary he's better than me at the contemporary that that dance was it was so good out in history yeah he did really good she's got an emmy coming her way i fear that would be that's what we're manifesting yeah wait let's manifest an emmy for your nomination i'll
