Speaker 1: Hello everybody! My favorite time of the week.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: You know, I do enjoy this time.
00:00:11
Speaker 1: Me too, and I'm having a back thing because, so I got a new car, not bragging, just got a new car. And you know when you get a new car, your seat is not in the right position. And so, it's got a little, trying to, and you know, you're like, press it forward, press it back, press it up, press it down, forward, back. And it takes like a while till you're like, I nailed it. That's why I love seat memory because I have an old car that does not have seat memory. And let me tell you, every time I go to the car wash, it's like a total panic.
00:00:40
Speaker 2: I know. I have been with you where we've gone to valet. And I put duct tape over it. I will pay you $ 50 to not touch my seat.
00:00:49
Speaker 1: Please don't move the seat. Please don't move the seat.
00:00:51
Speaker 2: Do not touch my seat. And you will get $ 50.
00:00:53
Speaker 1: After many times of please don't move the seat, I learned if I put duct tape over the thing... So that they can't move it.
00:01:05
Speaker 2: So do you just carry duct tape with you in your car? People are going to think you're like a serial killer.
00:01:10
Speaker 1: First of all, I honestly keep a roll of duct tape. Sometimes I use packaging tape, which is a little less scary than duct tape. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about?
00:01:17
Speaker 2: And also more like, all right, that's in your car because you ship packages.
00:01:21
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the things where they tell you how to like get duct tape off your wrist when you're kidnapped? More importantly... Immediately, I want to go through the whole cast of Dancing with the Stars.
00:01:32
Speaker 2: It's good.
00:01:32
Speaker 1: And share our thoughts. So let's just go through from the top. Okay, so Dancing with the Stars.
00:01:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:01:40
Speaker 1: Cast was announced. Very exciting. Yay, Dancing with the Stars. Maura Higgins.
00:01:46
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. Oh, my goodness.
00:01:48
Speaker 1: I'm assuming she's a Mormon wife.
00:01:50
Speaker 2: No, she is from Love Island, but she was on Traitors and she was the one. And the final two of Traitors were Rob the Snake just totally took her down.
00:02:04
Speaker 1: He ended up buying her a Birkin. Remember you saw that? First of all, how did he buy her a Birkin? I thought you have to like get invited to buy a Birkin.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: Birkin reached out to her and they reached out to him and he organized the whole thing and put it on social.
00:02:14
Speaker 2: You know, I was 28 years old that when I learned that you can't just buy a Birkin. You have to be invited to buy a Birkin.
00:02:22
Speaker 1: Or I think you, yeah, you have to like have some special pass or privileges.
00:02:25
Speaker 3: There's a wait list, Sex and City episode where everyone, Samantha does that.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember Samantha wanted it and Lucy Liu had it.
00:02:31
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:02:31
Speaker 1: Drama. Drama. So Maura Higgins is with Mark Ballas.
00:02:34
Speaker 2: And this is a big deal. It's a big deal because of traders.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: So that's why he was on trade. Yeah.
00:02:40
Speaker 2: And she, and she was on her season. And so when she was offered dancing with the stars, her whole thing was like, it's Mark or nothing. I need to be with Mark. So that was like a big deal. So I'm, I'm happy. I didn't think it was going to happen, but now that it happened, I'm like, yay, this is, this is cool.
00:02:58
Speaker 1: All right. So then Jackson Olsen is with Emma Slater and he's from that Savannah Bananas. They're sort of like singing baseball players.
00:03:07
Speaker 2: They're so funny.
00:03:08
Speaker 1: And they're good.
00:03:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:03:09
Speaker 1: And I always see like Kristen Bell showing up or Keith Urban showing up. There's always like celebrities showing up. And then I think he is Pat Sajak's daughter's boyfriend.
00:03:18
Speaker 2: That's correct.
00:03:19
Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Now, this one I'm okay with, but as we go further, I'm going to have some criticism. Julia Stiles. My criticism. I said this one I'm fine with. As we go further, I'm going to have some criticism. Okay. So, or I'll have thoughts. I don't know.
00:03:37
Speaker 2: Julia Stiles was one that was not on my bingo card.
00:03:40
Speaker 1: I know, but she.
00:03:43
Speaker 2: Maura, we knew. I got some rumbling from some of these other people.
00:03:46
Speaker 1: Oh, I've been hearing about Julia Stiles for a while. I haven't. What was her movie where she danced? Last Dance? Save the Last Dance. Save the Last Dance. So... I don't consider her a professional dancer of any kind. So I'm cool with it. I think some people.
00:04:00
Speaker 2: Oh, you don't like Jenna Dewan.
00:04:02
Speaker 1: I'm not, we're going to get to it.
00:04:03
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll get there. We'll get there.
00:04:04
Speaker 1: So here's what I hear a lot of people saying. This is what the, you know, the chitter chatter is. Julia Stiles is like a major movie star. That's how few jobs there are in entertainment right now that Julia Stiles is like on Dancing with the Stars. Let her live.
00:04:24
Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars is not a... I didn't say it. I'm... A, like, a peanut prize. Like, people want to get massive careers from the show now.
00:04:32
Speaker 1: I understand. That's what everyone's saying now. It's not like, you know, where are they now as much as, like, these are major people that are using this as.
00:04:41
Speaker 2: As a platform.
00:04:42
Speaker 1: Correct. And it's grown. I'm not mad about it. I told you I was telling you what the chitter chatter was.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: Well, the chitter chatter needs to simmer down.
00:04:50
Speaker 1: The chitter chatter is right though that bigger people are doing it.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true.
00:04:54
Speaker 1: Yes. All right, so the next is Ciara Miller, who we talked about. Ciara.
00:05:01
Speaker 2: Ciara.
00:05:01
Speaker 1: And she was part of the, not Scandaval, the second Scandaval.
00:05:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was. Summer House. She was part of that.
00:05:07
Speaker 1: Right, but she's not Scandaval.
00:05:09
Speaker 2: She's the second Scandaval. She was the one that was wounded. She was an Ariana Maddox.
00:05:12
Speaker 1: Right, I get it. But what was that? It wasn't Scandaval. It was called Scamanda.
00:05:16
Speaker 2: Scamanda, yes.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: I got it. Okay, I mean, look. Hot take. I don't care about her. Oh. We do. She's with Brandon, who I like Brandon a lot, but like, I don't care about her.
00:05:29
Speaker 2: You know, I was actually surprised with this pairing. I'm not dogging Brandon because he's obviously very talented. I thought Sierra would be with like Val or.
00:05:40
Speaker 1: Wait till we get to Val. I can't wait to talk about Val because he's going to win it. But is it fair?
00:05:46
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: We're going to discuss it. Okay. So... The next one is Connor Leavitt, who I know is married to Whitney Leavitt, who's Mormon wives. And she was on Dancing with the Stars. And he's partnered with Adele Zakeman, who I'm not familiar with.
00:06:02
Speaker 2: She just won the pro competition. You know how there was Dancing with the Stars, the next pro? She was not. So she's a newbie. I'm actually excited to see him because he was such a cheerleader for her season. And he seems like a sweet guy. individual based off of what we've seen on the show um I'm excited for him I think she has he dorky a little a little in a charming way in a very charming way but she like literally has shined for the last year and like I want him to shine too I'm excited.
00:06:38
Speaker 1: Is she the one that went to like Broadway yeah she.
00:06:40
Speaker 2: Was on Chicago and she still is doing Broadway.
00:06:42
Speaker 1: Is she not on Mormon wives anymore.
00:06:45
Speaker 2: One more season. Yeah, this next season, yes.
00:06:47
Speaker 1: Oh, this one, but then she's out.
00:06:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, moved to New York, packed up the family from Salt Lake, moved to New York, and is just living.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: He's along for the ride. Yep. And is she currently on Broadway? Because is she going to be able to support him? So no, so he's on his own. That is a great question. She booked a new Broadway show. Sometimes that leads to trouble.
00:07:07
Speaker 2: Well, and also they got like three kids. Who's going to watch the kids? I don't know.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: This could be... Just in time. This could be risky.
00:07:15
Speaker 2: That's for the show. I didn't even put that together.
00:07:17
Speaker 4: Damn.
00:07:19
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:07:20
Speaker 1: I did right away. Okay.
00:07:29
Speaker 2: Next.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: Guillermo.
00:07:30
Speaker 2: You know, they've already gone through their share of scandal. I think they're in.
00:07:33
Speaker 1: Right. That's what I think. No, I think.
00:07:36
Speaker 2: No, no, no. You don't even. You don't. What you think is.
00:07:38
Speaker 1: No, I know. I know. Aren't they the ones that moved to Hawaii because he was catting around or something?
00:07:45
Speaker 2: I don't think he was catting around as much as he was addicted to porn.
00:07:49
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm the same. Okay, got it. I have a.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: Because Whitney is only starting her Broadway run December 1st through January 10th.
00:07:57
Speaker 1: Oh, so she's not going till then. Okay, got it.
00:07:59
Speaker 2: But does it usually go through mid-December?
00:08:02
Speaker 1: Like a week or two before Christmas. No, this show goes to Thanksgiving. The finale's Thanksgiving.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: That's right.
00:08:06
Speaker 1: Oh my God, I thought it was Christmas.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: Sweeps, guys, sweeps. That's right.
00:08:09
Speaker 1: Back in the old days, there was a thing called sweeps. Guillermo from Kimmel. is with Whitney Carson, who is pregnant.
00:08:18
Speaker 2: In her second trimester.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: I know, she's an icon. She's an icon. And I love Guillermo and I love him on the red carpet more than anything. It's so funny.
00:08:25
Speaker 2: As a once pregnant human, the pain you experience in your body, especially in your second, well, the second trimester is the best trimester to do anything. But towards the end of the second semester, second trimester, which she will be going into, it is, painful you feel ligaments and.
00:08:48
Speaker 1: I don't know your body you don't want to see seems like she's kind of amazing.
00:08:52
Speaker 2: Oh she's a badass the other one's.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing too that isn't on anymore um i just had a baby lindsey.
00:09:00
Speaker 2: She bounces back fast too wow She had abs while she was pregnant.
00:09:04
Speaker 1: That's like crazy.
00:09:05
Speaker 2: It was really annoying.
00:09:07
Speaker 1: She's literally like pregnant, doing those kids hair, making dinner. It's all on. I get sucked into her TikTok.
00:09:12
Speaker 2: Had abs pregnant. Baby came out and then her body was just ab, ab, ab, ab, ab, ab, ab.
00:09:17
Speaker 1: Like it was pretty legit.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: God bless her.
00:09:19
Speaker 1: All right. Here comes the flag. And I'm not mad about it because I love Val more than anything. My whole thing on here. Val's my top.
00:09:29
Speaker 2: My top.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: More than any celebrity, more than any part like dancer. Val, is it fair that he's literally with Jenna Dewan, who is a professional dancer?
00:09:40
Speaker 2: Can I?
00:09:41
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:09:42
Speaker 2: I also agree with you. I do think it's slightly unfair. The only caveat I'm going to put in people's heads is from what I know.
00:09:51
Speaker 1: It's not ballroom. That's what everyone's like. But it's not ballroom. But guess what? It's still like you can go a one, a two, a three, a four. And she's got it.
00:09:58
Speaker 2: She can count and change. knows the gruelingness of choreography.
00:10:03
Speaker 1: And practice whatever the say's are shantay shantay pasa doble like whatever they say right I don't know what they say Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha. She knows how to do all that. I see her dancing and it's amazing.
00:10:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:10:17
Speaker 1: Amazing. Now, I'm going to go out of order from our list because simultaneously, Val's wife, Jenna, who I also love, is with Harry Shum Jr. So if you guys are like, who's Harry Shum Jr.? Well, he's on Grey's Anatomy now. I also think interesting. He was on Glee.
00:10:36
Speaker 2: That was like his greatest.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he's on Grey's Anatomy now, which I think is interesting to point out because Jenna's on The Rookie and Harry's on Grey's Anatomy. So they're also in the ABC family. Harry Shum Jr. was on Glee as the dancer, as the professional dancer.
00:10:54
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:10:55
Speaker 1: So he's literally a professional dancer. And they're going to say the same thing, but not ballroom. The dude can do any dancing move. ever.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying casting department said, they said, you know what, Jenna Johnson, you know what, Val, we're.
00:11:11
Speaker 1: Just going to people ever.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: Let you do duel it out and just see who wins. Go YouTube. It's going to be a battle between you two.
00:11:20
Speaker 1: Here's my favorite celebrity on the whole thing, because even though I'm old, I still can see how cute he is.
00:11:25
Speaker 2: Taylor Hanson.
00:11:26
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm like, I've had a crush on Taylor Hanson inappropriately, like forever. Yeah.
00:11:32
Speaker 2: And he's partnered with Britt Stewart, which I'm really happy about because I feel like in Britt's entire career on Dancing with the Stars, she has always been given a not good person.
00:11:44
Speaker 1: Here's what I want Taylor Danson to do. Taylor, here's what I want you to do. I just want you to shave the beard because here's why. You look exactly like you looked during the Mbop days. And if you shave that beard... That audience is like, oh, he looks exactly the same. The only thing that ages him up is that beard. So Taylor, just get rid of it.
00:12:04
Speaker 3: You know what I do like, too, is like Jenna Dewan was on Step Up and Julia Stiles was on Save the Last Dance.
00:12:10
Speaker 1: They were both like competing movies around the same time, too.
00:12:14
Speaker 3: So I wonder if they brought them back together because they were like that era.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: I think Jenna Dewan is almost as good as any of these pros.
00:12:22
Speaker 2: I know.
00:12:23
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:12:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
00:12:24
Speaker 1: And same with Harry. Yeah. Okay, then, so excited that Sharna's back. Really, truly, I am. I love Sharna. I'm so happy she's back.
00:12:34
Speaker 2: Five-year hiatus.
00:12:36
Speaker 1: I did not realize it was that long. It seemed not as long. Because I think her last time was when she was on with Brian Austin Green.
00:12:41
Speaker 2: 2021.
00:12:41
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
00:12:43
Speaker 2: Damn.
00:12:43
Speaker 1: So, her partner is Tyler Cameron. Now, I have some hot takes.
00:12:48
Speaker 2: I'm so excited. I'm not.
00:12:50
Speaker 1: Sorry.
00:12:51
Speaker 2: I love Tyler Cameron.
00:12:52
Speaker 1: I do, too, but I feel like he's kind of over. No. He just got engaged.
00:12:56
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. He just got engaged.
00:12:58
Speaker 1: He's like, I know, but like, wasn't he on The Bachelor like a hundred years ago?
00:13:01
Speaker 2: Like, I feel like he's still in the zeitgeist. He's still cool.
00:13:05
Speaker 1: I mean, fine, but I feel like he was on the thing a.
00:13:08
Speaker 2: Long time ago. And this was a great move for him. I think this is a really good idea for him.
00:13:14
Speaker 3: Who would they have pulled from The Bachelor? Like, we haven't had a Bachelor yet.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? We just had Joey.
00:13:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's already been through it. So a new person to pull from the Bachelor franchise, who would it have been?
00:13:28
Speaker 1: Oh, I see. Sorry, I thought you were saying we haven't had a Bachelor person on Dancing with the Stars. No, no, no. I'm just saying every year, because usually... Well, no, we can't pull anybody because they didn't have a show.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: Exactly.
00:13:38
Speaker 1: Usually Taylor Frankie Paul season is wrapping up by now.
00:13:40
Speaker 2: Pass. Yeah.
00:13:43
Speaker 1: I get it but it's just going to me he seems like long ago bachelor I'm just saying I love a good throwback he may surprise me I'm just calling it as it is okay so now Connor Wood I wasn't as familiar with but then I get that people really like him is he sort of young influencer type.
00:14:03
Speaker 2: Guy yeah he's got he's a calm oh my god what is the word comedian thank you He's a comedian. I was like, comedy? I could not get it out of my brain.
00:14:17
Speaker 1: And Riley Arnold, who's Lindsay's sister, is kind of like real popular right now.
00:14:24
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:14:25
Speaker 1: Didn't she date her partner one time? Who? Didn't Riley Arnold date her partner once? Harry or something? Harry Jowsey? I don't know.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: I think there were rumors about that, but I don't know if they were like real.
00:14:38
Speaker 1: I'm up on it. I'm up on it. Britt Stewart married one of her partners. Yes. I know, but he, she married the one she, he's like awesome.
00:14:46
Speaker 2: He's very awesome. Dan.
00:14:47
Speaker 1: Yeah. Daniel.
00:14:50
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:14:50
Speaker 1: So Amber Glenn, I've never heard of, and she's with Pasha and I guess she's a figure skater, but I've never heard of her in my life. Like first time ever here. I was big into the Olympics and I love it.
00:14:58
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy that I just realized.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: So, all right.
00:15:02
Speaker 2: So Jenna Johnson and Val got the, dancers.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:15:07
Speaker 2: Pasha and Danielle, who are also married, bought the Olympians.

Speaker 1: There you go. Nice little call out there, girl. Good job, Danielle.
00:15:16
Speaker 2: I earned my dollar today.
00:15:26
Speaker 1: Look, I mean this in the loveliest way. Sarah Jane Nader. I don't care about her. I know she's one of the Nader sisters. So she's Brooks Nader's sister. I'm much more excited to watch Brooks on Baywatch. But she is with Hayley Bills. So it's the second time to women. I'm super excited for Hayley. I have been wanting her to be a pro for a really long time. I'm very excited about her.
00:15:51
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is the second same-sex relationship. pairing and Haley her cousin is Jenna Johnson so like they you know.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that so she's related to Jenna not Val's side but Jenna's.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: Side she's related to Jenna she's her cousin and so Val and Jenna are very very close to Haley and have like kind of you know fostered this relationship.
00:16:15
Speaker 1: Fine by me but I'm just like if I had to say like sorry you're going home first I don't care about Sarah Jane later okay only just because I don't know who she is and I know she's like the younger sister and for some reason that show irritated me That reality Nader sister show.
00:16:29
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm being corrected by our little Reesey. Her niece, not her cousin.
00:16:33
Speaker 1: Oh, that's even kind of cooler though. She's her niece. So that's cool. Look, I love it. So now I'm, I don't know. I might change my opinion. I just was bored by that reality show. So that's my only thing.
00:16:45

00:17:13
Speaker 1: What? I'm so confused.

Speaker 2: I know, me too. And that's what I'm saying. I remember seeing her as a pro. I am blocking out who her partner was, but I'm curious to see who they gave.
00:18:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it has like a bit. Oh no, you said Emma. She's with the baseball player. Jackson Olsen. She's with the Bananas guy. Oh, that's right.
00:18:14
Speaker 2: So no correlation here. So no real connection.
00:18:17
Speaker 1: So Giada just opened G something in Brentwood. Love her.
00:18:23
Speaker 2: I don't love a wrap.
00:18:24
Speaker 1: It's mostly wraps. Interesting. I don't like a tortilla sandwich. I don't like a cold tortilla. I don't like a non-cooked tortilla. So I don't like a wrap. I like bread. I'm sorry. You can see it right here, but I don't like a wrap. I don't green. Do you know those green tortillas that people make? I don't like those either. That's like a pet peeve for me. I'm like, that's not, that's not a sandwich. And if you're going to only have the, that, and you don't have bread, I'll just take the innards. I don't, I don't want the cold green tortilla. I'll literally just eat the turkey with a pickle in it and some lettuce and some tomato and Dip it in some mayo. Like, I don't want a green tortilla cold. I don't want a green tortilla hot. But I, no. I'll eat a cooked tortilla.
00:19:11
Speaker 2: Fair. And then the last on the list, Tatiana Ali is partnered with Jan Ravnik.
00:19:16
Speaker 1: So she's from, I know it, don't say Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Yes. And then she had like a music career.
00:19:23
Speaker 2: And our good old Jan. I wonder if he was invited to the wedding. Was he?
00:19:27
Speaker 1: I think so, yes. Who's wedding?
00:19:28
Speaker 2: Taylor's.
00:19:30
Speaker 1: Duh. He's Taylor's... Taylor Swift. Yeah. Not Taylor Hansen. I had to really scan the Taylors there. I was like, what in the world? Did you guys notice that there's no Gleb? And there's no Sasha.
00:19:44
Speaker 3: Do you think there's no Gleb because Sarah Jane Nader is a dancer or a.
00:19:50
Speaker 2: Yes, 100%. She's like, I'm not going to be.
00:19:52
Speaker 1: In contact with Gleb. I just don't know why they don't ever let Sasha on anymore. I know.
00:19:57
Speaker 2: And I stand corrected. Ezra Sosa is with Julia Stiles. The pro Ezra is on the show.
00:20:02
Speaker 1: I blacked him out for a second. Here's my thing. Seems like a lot of people. That just took up the whole show. I know. Like our whole show is like, what? That was so long. No, Gleb, no. We're going to have to do two episodes today. Oh my God. We'll have to do it to be continued because that just took up so much time.
00:20:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:20:23
Speaker 1: And I'm not ruining my whole listen if you want to with just that. We'll tell you guys a few more things, but like, we're going to have to do a part two and you guys are going.
00:20:28
Speaker 2: To have to listen. Should this just be, should this just be listen if you want to Dancing with the Stars? And then we do our.
00:20:33
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, sure.
00:20:36
Speaker 3: So, They have a two night premiere as well, which is they haven't done, I believe, did they do it last year?
00:20:42
Speaker 1: But I don't know. There was a time when it was only one night and you only had this many hours. Here's my other note to Dancing with the Stars. Don't get carried away because you used to get carried away and do too many episodes. And then that's what happened when your ratings went down. So don't get carried away. Leave people wanting more. It's very important. It's very important.
00:21:00
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if because there's so many, they're doing two nights, but maybe it'll dwindle down.
00:21:04
Speaker 2: And I have a beef.
00:21:05
Speaker 3: They used to air at 5 p.m.
00:21:08
Speaker 1: So 5 p.m. East Coast. And it used to go live on streaming here on Disney Plus. No, we have to wait till 8 p.m. No, I know. They got rid of that a while ago, Jackie. They did that one time where they were like, Disney Plus. And then they realized.
00:21:23
Speaker 2: We all know if you're on the West Coast, your votes don't mean.
00:21:26
Speaker 1: Correct. Right. But you could vote during. the right hour.
00:21:32
Speaker 5: Even if you haven't seen the performances i drop a funny tidbit yes sure no i was in labor last year during a dance on the stars.
00:21:44
Speaker 3: You still voted taping on our team and i was like tara I can't look it up.
00:21:52
Speaker 1: That's so weird. Tell me how I vote for Danielle. You're so funny. Oh, because Danielle. Yeah, that's true.
00:21:59
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't have the energy to look.
00:22:01
Speaker 1: Just tell me how I do it. Take my phone. All right, let's do some predictions. Who do we think is the first going home and who do we think is going to win?
00:22:08
Speaker 2: Okay, first going home.
00:22:11
Speaker 1: Sarah Jane Natan. I hate to say this.
00:22:15
Speaker 2: Don't say Guillermo no it won't be Guillermo one of the Olympians.
00:22:18
Speaker 1: No the Olympians never go home first the athletes always.
00:22:22
Speaker 3: Tyler Cameron nope.
00:22:25
Speaker 2: Too many fans maybe Giada just because I don't see her dancing well I love her trust me don't get me wrong I am one of her favorite she's one of my favorite people I love her I just don't think she's gonna go far.
00:22:38
Speaker 1: And who do you think's gonna win.
00:22:39
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it to Harry People are mean to women that are good. So I don't think as talented as Jenna is, I don't think she's going to win.
00:22:53
Speaker 1: I think Taylor Hanson could win. I'm just saying it. I think he could.
00:22:59
Speaker 3: Have you guys listened to the Oom Bop acoustic version they performed.
00:23:03
Speaker 1: With the Philharmonic?
00:23:04
Speaker 3: Those lyrics, I listened to it the other day and brought tears because I was like, these lyrics are so beautiful.
00:23:11
Speaker 2: I can't.
00:23:13
Speaker 1: There was like an ABC show years ago, and I don't remember what it was called, but they did an Oom Bop acoustic version. Oh, it is so beautiful. And this was recent. Like I want to say within the last year. How do I see this? How do I see this one? I'll find it. I'll find it and send it to you. I'm literally doing Mbop with symphony. Yes. It literally. Oh, got it. Got it. Hanson string theory. Let me see. Let me just give a little glimpse of it. I love me some Hanson. Hanson's got a lot of songs that people don't know about that are really good. You know who's like the number one Hanson fan? Ashley Iaconetti. Oh yeah. And the lyrics are just so good. I never realized it. I'm telling you that Taylor Hanson's a cutie. I requested him on TRL. But I do think he needs to shave the beard. Yeah. If he shaves the beard, he'll look exactly like he did. Those boys don't age. I know. And they're on tour and they're doing it.
00:24:15
Speaker 2: Totally.
00:24:16
Speaker 1: I almost went up to their tour.

00:24:47
Speaker 1: First to go, I think I agree with you guys. Giada. Or Connor Leavitt.
00:24:54
Speaker 3: Because we had so much Whitney last year that it was like so much Leavitts.
00:24:59
Speaker 1: You know, overexposed.
00:25:01
Speaker 2: I don't know. How about you, Manny? Oh, boy. Come on, Manny.
00:25:07
Speaker 1: Tatiana. Whoa, a bold choice.
00:25:11
Speaker 2: I know.
00:25:11
Speaker 1: That's to go home first. To go home first, yeah. She was in my bottom couple.
00:25:16
Speaker 2: See?
00:25:17
Speaker 1: See? Yeah. Okay.
00:25:19
Speaker 2: And how about Dylan?
00:25:20
Speaker 1: Wow.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: It's going to be either Harry or Jenna. I know.
00:25:24
Speaker 1: I kind of agree.
00:25:25
Speaker 2: I can put money on Harry.
00:25:26
Speaker 1: That household man. Val and Jenna.
00:25:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:25:31
Speaker 1: Well, don't move because we'll be back in just a few hours.
Speaker 1: Hello everybody! My favorite time of the week.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: You know, I do enjoy this time.
00:00:11
Speaker 1: Me too, and I'm having a back thing because, so I got a new car, not bragging, just got a new car. And you know when you get a new car, your seat is not in the right position. And so, it's got a little, trying to, and you know, you're like, press it forward, press it back, press it up, press it down, forward, back. And it takes like a while till you're like, I nailed it. That's why I love seat memory because I have an old car that does not have seat memory. And let me tell you, every time I go to the car wash, it's like a total panic.
00:00:40
Speaker 2: I know. I have been with you where we've gone to valet. And I put duct tape over it. I will pay you $ 50 to not touch my seat.
00:00:49
Speaker 1: Please don't move the seat. Please don't move the seat.
00:00:51
Speaker 2: Do not touch my seat. And you will get $ 50.
00:00:53
Speaker 1: After many times of please don't move the seat, I learned if I put duct tape over the thing... So that they can't move it.
00:01:05
Speaker 2: So do you just carry duct tape with you in your car? People are going to think you're like a serial killer.
00:01:10
Speaker 1: First of all, I honestly keep a roll of duct tape. Sometimes I use packaging tape, which is a little less scary than duct tape. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about?
00:01:17
Speaker 2: And also more like, all right, that's in your car because you ship packages.
00:01:21
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the things where they tell you how to like get duct tape off your wrist when you're kidnapped? More importantly... Immediately, I want to go through the whole cast of Dancing with the Stars.
00:01:32
Speaker 2: It's good.
00:01:32
Speaker 1: And share our thoughts. So let's just go through from the top. Okay, so Dancing with the Stars.
00:01:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:01:40
Speaker 1: Cast was announced. Very exciting. Yay, Dancing with the Stars. Maura Higgins.
00:01:46
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. Oh, my goodness.
00:01:48
Speaker 1: I'm assuming she's a Mormon wife.
00:01:50
Speaker 2: No, she is from Love Island, but she was on Traitors and she was the one. And the final two of Traitors were Rob the Snake just totally took her down.
00:02:04
Speaker 1: He ended up buying her a Birkin. Remember you saw that? First of all, how did he buy her a Birkin? I thought you have to like get invited to buy a Birkin.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: Birkin reached out to her and they reached out to him and he organized the whole thing and put it on social.
00:02:14
Speaker 2: You know, I was 28 years old that when I learned that you can't just buy a Birkin. You have to be invited to buy a Birkin.
00:02:22
Speaker 1: Or I think you, yeah, you have to like have some special pass or privileges.
00:02:25
Speaker 3: There's a wait list, Sex and City episode where everyone, Samantha does that.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember Samantha wanted it and Lucy Liu had it.
00:02:31
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:02:31
Speaker 1: Drama. Drama. So Maura Higgins is with Mark Ballas.
00:02:34
Speaker 2: And this is a big deal. It's a big deal because of traders.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: So that's why he was on trade. Yeah.
00:02:40
Speaker 2: And she, and she was on her season. And so when she was offered dancing with the stars, her whole thing was like, it's Mark or nothing. I need to be with Mark. So that was like a big deal. So I'm, I'm happy. I didn't think it was going to happen, but now that it happened, I'm like, yay, this is, this is cool.
00:02:58
Speaker 1: All right. So then Jackson Olsen is with Emma Slater and he's from that Savannah Bananas. They're sort of like singing baseball players.
00:03:07
Speaker 2: They're so funny.
00:03:08
Speaker 1: And they're good.
00:03:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:03:09
Speaker 1: And I always see like Kristen Bell showing up or Keith Urban showing up. There's always like celebrities showing up. And then I think he is Pat Sajak's daughter's boyfriend.
00:03:18
Speaker 2: That's correct.
00:03:19
Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Now, this one I'm okay with, but as we go further, I'm going to have some criticism. Julia Stiles. My criticism. I said this one I'm fine with. As we go further, I'm going to have some criticism. Okay. So, or I'll have thoughts. I don't know.
00:03:37
Speaker 2: Julia Stiles was one that was not on my bingo card.
00:03:40
Speaker 1: I know, but she.
00:03:43
Speaker 2: Maura, we knew. I got some rumbling from some of these other people.
00:03:46
Speaker 1: Oh, I've been hearing about Julia Stiles for a while. I haven't. What was her movie where she danced? Last Dance? Save the Last Dance. Save the Last Dance. So... I don't consider her a professional dancer of any kind. So I'm cool with it. I think some people.
00:04:00
Speaker 2: Oh, you don't like Jenna Dewan.
00:04:02
Speaker 1: I'm not, we're going to get to it.
00:04:03
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll get there. We'll get there.
00:04:04
Speaker 1: So here's what I hear a lot of people saying. This is what the, you know, the chitter chatter is. Julia Stiles is like a major movie star. That's how few jobs there are in entertainment right now that Julia Stiles is like on Dancing with the Stars. Let her live.
00:04:24
Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars is not a... I didn't say it. I'm... A, like, a peanut prize. Like, people want to get massive careers from the show now.
00:04:32
Speaker 1: I understand. That's what everyone's saying now. It's not like, you know, where are they now as much as, like, these are major people that are using this as.
00:04:41
Speaker 2: As a platform.
00:04:42
Speaker 1: Correct. And it's grown. I'm not mad about it. I told you I was telling you what the chitter chatter was.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: Well, the chitter chatter needs to simmer down.
00:04:50
Speaker 1: The chitter chatter is right though that bigger people are doing it.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true.
00:04:54
Speaker 1: Yes. All right, so the next is Ciara Miller, who we talked about. Ciara.
00:05:01
Speaker 2: Ciara.
00:05:01
Speaker 1: And she was part of the, not Scandaval, the second Scandaval.
00:05:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was. Summer House. She was part of that.
00:05:07
Speaker 1: Right, but she's not Scandaval.
00:05:09
Speaker 2: She's the second Scandaval. She was the one that was wounded. She was an Ariana Maddox.
00:05:12
Speaker 1: Right, I get it. But what was that? It wasn't Scandaval. It was called Scamanda.
00:05:16
Speaker 2: Scamanda, yes.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: I got it. Okay, I mean, look. Hot take. I don't care about her. Oh. We do. She's with Brandon, who I like Brandon a lot, but like, I don't care about her.
00:05:29
Speaker 2: You know, I was actually surprised with this pairing. I'm not dogging Brandon because he's obviously very talented. I thought Sierra would be with like Val or.
00:05:40
Speaker 1: Wait till we get to Val. I can't wait to talk about Val because he's going to win it. But is it fair?
00:05:46
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: We're going to discuss it. Okay. So... The next one is Connor Leavitt, who I know is married to Whitney Leavitt, who's Mormon wives. And she was on Dancing with the Stars. And he's partnered with Adele Zakeman, who I'm not familiar with.
00:06:02
Speaker 2: She just won the pro competition. You know how there was Dancing with the Stars, the next pro? She was not. So she's a newbie. I'm actually excited to see him because he was such a cheerleader for her season. And he seems like a sweet guy. individual based off of what we've seen on the show um I'm excited for him I think she has he dorky a little a little in a charming way in a very charming way but she like literally has shined for the last year and like I want him to shine too I'm excited.
00:06:38
Speaker 1: Is she the one that went to like Broadway yeah she.
00:06:40
Speaker 2: Was on Chicago and she still is doing Broadway.
00:06:42
Speaker 1: Is she not on Mormon wives anymore.
00:06:45
Speaker 2: One more season. Yeah, this next season, yes.
00:06:47
Speaker 1: Oh, this one, but then she's out.
00:06:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, moved to New York, packed up the family from Salt Lake, moved to New York, and is just living.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: He's along for the ride. Yep. And is she currently on Broadway? Because is she going to be able to support him? So no, so he's on his own. That is a great question. She booked a new Broadway show. Sometimes that leads to trouble.
00:07:07
Speaker 2: Well, and also they got like three kids. Who's going to watch the kids? I don't know.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: This could be... Just in time. This could be risky.
00:07:15
Speaker 2: That's for the show. I didn't even put that together.
00:07:17
Speaker 4: Damn.
00:07:19
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:07:20
Speaker 1: I did right away. Okay.
00:07:29
Speaker 2: Next.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: Guillermo.
00:07:30
Speaker 2: You know, they've already gone through their share of scandal. I think they're in.
00:07:33
Speaker 1: Right. That's what I think. No, I think.
00:07:36
Speaker 2: No, no, no. You don't even. You don't. What you think is.
00:07:38
Speaker 1: No, I know. I know. Aren't they the ones that moved to Hawaii because he was catting around or something?
00:07:45
Speaker 2: I don't think he was catting around as much as he was addicted to porn.
00:07:49
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm the same. Okay, got it. I have a.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: Because Whitney is only starting her Broadway run December 1st through January 10th.
00:07:57
Speaker 1: Oh, so she's not going till then. Okay, got it.
00:07:59
Speaker 2: But does it usually go through mid-December?
00:08:02
Speaker 1: Like a week or two before Christmas. No, this show goes to Thanksgiving. The finale's Thanksgiving.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: That's right.
00:08:06
Speaker 1: Oh my God, I thought it was Christmas.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: Sweeps, guys, sweeps. That's right.
00:08:09
Speaker 1: Back in the old days, there was a thing called sweeps. Guillermo from Kimmel. is with Whitney Carson, who is pregnant.
00:08:18
Speaker 2: In her second trimester.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: I know, she's an icon. She's an icon. And I love Guillermo and I love him on the red carpet more than anything. It's so funny.
00:08:25
Speaker 2: As a once pregnant human, the pain you experience in your body, especially in your second, well, the second trimester is the best trimester to do anything. But towards the end of the second semester, second trimester, which she will be going into, it is, painful you feel ligaments and.
00:08:48
Speaker 1: I don't know your body you don't want to see seems like she's kind of amazing.
00:08:52
Speaker 2: Oh she's a badass the other one's.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing too that isn't on anymore um i just had a baby lindsey.
00:09:00
Speaker 2: She bounces back fast too wow She had abs while she was pregnant.
00:09:04
Speaker 1: That's like crazy.
00:09:05
Speaker 2: It was really annoying.
00:09:07
Speaker 1: She's literally like pregnant, doing those kids hair, making dinner. It's all on. I get sucked into her TikTok.
00:09:12
Speaker 2: Had abs pregnant. Baby came out and then her body was just ab, ab, ab, ab, ab, ab, ab.
00:09:17
Speaker 1: Like it was pretty legit.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: God bless her.
00:09:19
Speaker 1: All right. Here comes the flag. And I'm not mad about it because I love Val more than anything. My whole thing on here. Val's my top.
00:09:29
Speaker 2: My top.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: More than any celebrity, more than any part like dancer. Val, is it fair that he's literally with Jenna Dewan, who is a professional dancer?
00:09:40
Speaker 2: Can I?
00:09:41
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:09:42
Speaker 2: I also agree with you. I do think it's slightly unfair. The only caveat I'm going to put in people's heads is from what I know.
00:09:51
Speaker 1: It's not ballroom. That's what everyone's like. But it's not ballroom. But guess what? It's still like you can go a one, a two, a three, a four. And she's got it.
00:09:58
Speaker 2: She can count and change. knows the gruelingness of choreography.
00:10:03
Speaker 1: And practice whatever the say's are shantay shantay pasa doble like whatever they say right I don't know what they say Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha. She knows how to do all that. I see her dancing and it's amazing.
00:10:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:10:17
Speaker 1: Amazing. Now, I'm going to go out of order from our list because simultaneously, Val's wife, Jenna, who I also love, is with Harry Shum Jr. So if you guys are like, who's Harry Shum Jr.? Well, he's on Grey's Anatomy now. I also think interesting. He was on Glee.
00:10:36
Speaker 2: That was like his greatest.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he's on Grey's Anatomy now, which I think is interesting to point out because Jenna's on The Rookie and Harry's on Grey's Anatomy. So they're also in the ABC family. Harry Shum Jr. was on Glee as the dancer, as the professional dancer.
00:10:54
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:10:55
Speaker 1: So he's literally a professional dancer. And they're going to say the same thing, but not ballroom. The dude can do any dancing move. ever.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying casting department said, they said, you know what, Jenna Johnson, you know what, Val, we're.
00:11:11
Speaker 1: Just going to people ever.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: Let you do duel it out and just see who wins. Go YouTube. It's going to be a battle between you two.
00:11:20
Speaker 1: Here's my favorite celebrity on the whole thing, because even though I'm old, I still can see how cute he is.
00:11:25
Speaker 2: Taylor Hanson.
00:11:26
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm like, I've had a crush on Taylor Hanson inappropriately, like forever. Yeah.
00:11:32
Speaker 2: And he's partnered with Britt Stewart, which I'm really happy about because I feel like in Britt's entire career on Dancing with the Stars, she has always been given a not good person.
00:11:44
Speaker 1: Here's what I want Taylor Danson to do. Taylor, here's what I want you to do. I just want you to shave the beard because here's why. You look exactly like you looked during the Mbop days. And if you shave that beard... That audience is like, oh, he looks exactly the same. The only thing that ages him up is that beard. So Taylor, just get rid of it.
00:12:04
Speaker 3: You know what I do like, too, is like Jenna Dewan was on Step Up and Julia Stiles was on Save the Last Dance.
00:12:10
Speaker 1: They were both like competing movies around the same time, too.
00:12:14
Speaker 3: So I wonder if they brought them back together because they were like that era.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: I think Jenna Dewan is almost as good as any of these pros.
00:12:22
Speaker 2: I know.
00:12:23
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:12:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
00:12:24
Speaker 1: And same with Harry. Yeah. Okay, then, so excited that Sharna's back. Really, truly, I am. I love Sharna. I'm so happy she's back.
00:12:34
Speaker 2: Five-year hiatus.
00:12:36
Speaker 1: I did not realize it was that long. It seemed not as long. Because I think her last time was when she was on with Brian Austin Green.
00:12:41
Speaker 2: 2021.
00:12:41
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
00:12:43
Speaker 2: Damn.
00:12:43
Speaker 1: So, her partner is Tyler Cameron. Now, I have some hot takes.
00:12:48
Speaker 2: I'm so excited. I'm not.
00:12:50
Speaker 1: Sorry.
00:12:51
Speaker 2: I love Tyler Cameron.
00:12:52
Speaker 1: I do, too, but I feel like he's kind of over. No. He just got engaged.
00:12:56
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. He just got engaged.
00:12:58
Speaker 1: He's like, I know, but like, wasn't he on The Bachelor like a hundred years ago?
00:13:01
Speaker 2: Like, I feel like he's still in the zeitgeist. He's still cool.
00:13:05
Speaker 1: I mean, fine, but I feel like he was on the thing a.
00:13:08
Speaker 2: Long time ago. And this was a great move for him. I think this is a really good idea for him.
00:13:14
Speaker 3: Who would they have pulled from The Bachelor? Like, we haven't had a Bachelor yet.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? We just had Joey.
00:13:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's already been through it. So a new person to pull from the Bachelor franchise, who would it have been?
00:13:28
Speaker 1: Oh, I see. Sorry, I thought you were saying we haven't had a Bachelor person on Dancing with the Stars. No, no, no. I'm just saying every year, because usually... Well, no, we can't pull anybody because they didn't have a show.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: Exactly.
00:13:38
Speaker 1: Usually Taylor Frankie Paul season is wrapping up by now.
00:13:40
Speaker 2: Pass. Yeah.
00:13:43
Speaker 1: I get it but it's just going to me he seems like long ago bachelor I'm just saying I love a good throwback he may surprise me I'm just calling it as it is okay so now Connor Wood I wasn't as familiar with but then I get that people really like him is he sort of young influencer type.
00:14:03
Speaker 2: Guy yeah he's got he's a calm oh my god what is the word comedian thank you He's a comedian. I was like, comedy? I could not get it out of my brain.
00:14:17
Speaker 1: And Riley Arnold, who's Lindsay's sister, is kind of like real popular right now.
00:14:24
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:14:25
Speaker 1: Didn't she date her partner one time? Who? Didn't Riley Arnold date her partner once? Harry or something? Harry Jowsey? I don't know.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: I think there were rumors about that, but I don't know if they were like real.
00:14:38
Speaker 1: I'm up on it. I'm up on it. Britt Stewart married one of her partners. Yes. I know, but he, she married the one she, he's like awesome.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Daniel.
00:14:50
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:14:50
Speaker 1: So Amber Glenn, I've never heard of, and she's with Pasha and I guess she's a figure skater, but I've never heard of her in my life. Like first time ever here. I was big into the Olympics and I love it.
00:14:58
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy that I just realized.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: So, all right.
00:15:02
Speaker 2: So Jenna Johnson and Val got the, dancers.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:15:07
Speaker 2: Pasha and Danielle, who are also married, bought the Olympians.

Speaker 1: There you go. Nice little call out there, girl. Good job, Danielle.
00:15:16
Speaker 2: I earned my dollar today.
00:15:26
Speaker 1: Look, I mean this in the loveliest way. Sarah Jane Nader. I don't care about her. I know she's one of the Nader sisters. So she's Brooks Nader's sister. I'm much more excited to watch Brooks on Baywatch. But she is with Hayley Bills. So it's the second time to women. I'm super excited for Hayley. I have been wanting her to be a pro for a really long time. I'm very excited about her.
00:15:51
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is the second same-sex relationship. pairing and Haley her cousin is Jenna Johnson so like they you know.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that so she's related to Jenna not Val's side but Jenna's.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: Side she's related to Jenna she's her cousin and so Val and Jenna are very very close to Haley and have like kind of you know fostered this relationship.
00:16:15
Speaker 1: Fine by me but I'm just like if I had to say like sorry you're going home first I don't care about Sarah Jane later okay only just because I don't know who she is and I know she's like the younger sister and for some reason that show irritated me That reality Nader sister show.
00:16:29
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm being corrected by our little Reesey. Her niece, not her cousin.
00:16:33
Speaker 1: Oh, that's even kind of cooler though. She's her niece. So that's cool. Look, I love it. So now I'm, I don't know. I might change my opinion. I just was bored by that reality show. So that's my only thing.
00:16:45
Speaker 5: Sorry.
00:16:46
Speaker 1: I'm just speak the truth.
00:16:47
Speaker 2: No, no, that's fair. That's fair.
00:16:49
Speaker 1: Ezra is with Danielle. And I don't know how to say her last name. Karagosh. Karagosh. And she's a Paralympic track star. Look, she's going to be my front runner because.
00:16:58
Speaker 2: He's a Paralympic track star.
00:17:01
Speaker 1: Danielle is a girl. No, no.
00:17:04
Speaker 2: Ezra is the Paralympic track star.
00:17:07
Speaker 1: No. Ezra....
00:17:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're thinking of Ezra the pro dancer. He's not a pro dancer this season.
00:17:13
Speaker 1: What? I'm so confused.
00:17:15
Speaker 2: Isn't that so sad? No, Danielle is the pro. She's married to Pasha.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: So Ezra is the Paralympic track star. Yeah. I had that totally confused.
00:17:24
Speaker 2: That's all good. That's what I'm here for.
00:17:26
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for clarifying. But I still am going to give it to him then. Because it's just so incredible. Yeah, it is incredible. I'll never forget when Derek Hough had the partner. I was just like, oh my gosh.
00:17:37
Speaker 2: We are missing.
00:17:38
Speaker 1: I can't think of her name right now, but she was amazing.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: By the way, Jackie, before we finish this list, we are missing Emma Slater's partner.
00:17:46
Speaker 1: Are we missing someone? We'll find it.
00:17:50
Speaker 2: Okay, so Giada De Laurentiis is with Alan Burstyn, which I'm obsessed.
00:17:55
Speaker 1: I like Alan and Emma together.
00:17:57
Speaker 2: I know, me too. And that's what I'm saying. I remember seeing her as a pro. I am blocking out who her partner was, but I'm curious to see who they gave.
00:18:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it has like a bit. Oh no, you said Emma. She's with the baseball player. Jackson Olsen. She's with the Bananas guy. Oh, that's right.
00:18:14
Speaker 2: So no correlation here. So no real connection.
00:18:17
Speaker 1: So Giada just opened G something in Brentwood. Love her.
00:18:23
Speaker 2: I don't love a wrap.
00:18:24
Speaker 1: It's mostly wraps. Interesting. I don't like a tortilla sandwich. I don't like a cold tortilla. I don't like a non-cooked tortilla. So I don't like a wrap. I like bread. I'm sorry. You can see it right here, but I don't like a wrap. I don't green. Do you know those green tortillas that people make? I don't like those either. That's like a pet peeve for me. I'm like, that's not, that's not a sandwich. And if you're going to only have the, that, and you don't have bread, I'll just take the innards. I don't, I don't want the cold green tortilla. I'll literally just eat the turkey with a pickle in it and some lettuce and some tomato and Dip it in some mayo. Like, I don't want a green tortilla cold. I don't want a green tortilla hot. But I, no. I'll eat a cooked tortilla.
00:19:11
Speaker 2: Fair. And then the last on the list, Tatiana Ali is partnered with Jan Ravnik.
00:19:16
Speaker 1: So she's from, I know it, don't say Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Yes. And then she had like a music career.
00:19:23
Speaker 2: And our good old Jan. I wonder if he was invited to the wedding. Was he?
00:19:27
Speaker 1: I think so, yes. Who's wedding?
00:19:28
Speaker 2: Taylor's.
00:19:30
Speaker 1: Duh. He's Taylor's... Taylor Swift. Yeah. Not Taylor Hansen. I had to really scan the Taylors there. I was like, what in the world? Did you guys notice that there's no Gleb? And there's no Sasha.
00:19:44
Speaker 3: Do you think there's no Gleb because Sarah Jane Nader is a dancer or a.
00:19:50
Speaker 2: Yes, 100%. She's like, I'm not going to be.
00:19:52
Speaker 1: In contact with Gleb. I just don't know why they don't ever let Sasha on anymore. I know.
00:19:57
Speaker 2: And I stand corrected. Ezra Sosa is with Julia Stiles. The pro Ezra is on the show.
00:20:02
Speaker 1: I blacked him out for a second. Here's my thing. Seems like a lot of people. That just took up the whole show. I know. Like our whole show is like, what? That was so long. No, Gleb, no. We're going to have to do two episodes today. Oh my God. We'll have to do it to be continued because that just took up so much time.
00:20:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:20:23
Speaker 1: And I'm not ruining my whole listen if you want to with just that. We'll tell you guys a few more things, but like, we're going to have to do a part two and you guys are going.
00:20:28
Speaker 2: To have to listen. Should this just be, should this just be listen if you want to Dancing with the Stars? And then we do our.
00:20:33
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, sure.
00:20:36
Speaker 3: So, They have a two night premiere as well, which is they haven't done, I believe, did they do it last year?
00:20:42
Speaker 1: But I don't know. There was a time when it was only one night and you only had this many hours. Here's my other note to Dancing with the Stars. Don't get carried away because you used to get carried away and do too many episodes. And then that's what happened when your ratings went down. So don't get carried away. Leave people wanting more. It's very important. It's very important.
00:21:00
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if because there's so many, they're doing two nights, but maybe it'll dwindle down.
00:21:04
Speaker 2: And I have a beef.
00:21:05
Speaker 3: They used to air at 5 p.m.
00:21:08
Speaker 1: So 5 p.m. East Coast. And it used to go live on streaming here on Disney Plus. No, we have to wait till 8 p.m. No, I know. They got rid of that a while ago, Jackie. They did that one time where they were like, Disney Plus. And then they realized.
00:21:23
Speaker 2: We all know if you're on the West Coast, your votes don't mean.
00:21:26
Speaker 1: Correct. Right. But you could vote during. the right hour.
00:21:32
Speaker 5: Even if you haven't seen the performances i drop a funny tidbit yes sure no i was in labor last year during a dance on the stars.
00:21:44
Speaker 3: You still voted taping on our team and i was like tara I can't look it up.
00:21:52
Speaker 1: That's so weird. Tell me how I vote for Danielle. You're so funny. Oh, because Danielle. Yeah, that's true.
00:21:59
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't have the energy to look.
00:22:01
Speaker 1: Just tell me how I do it. Take my phone. All right, let's do some predictions. Who do we think is the first going home and who do we think is going to win?
00:22:08
Speaker 2: Okay, first going home.
00:22:11
Speaker 1: Sarah Jane Natan. I hate to say this.
00:22:15
Speaker 2: Don't say Guillermo no it won't be Guillermo one of the Olympians.
00:22:18
Speaker 1: No the Olympians never go home first the athletes always.
00:22:22
Speaker 3: Tyler Cameron nope.
00:22:25
Speaker 2: Too many fans maybe Giada just because I don't see her dancing well I love her trust me don't get me wrong I am one of her favorite she's one of my favorite people I love her I just don't think she's gonna go far.
00:22:38
Speaker 1: And who do you think's gonna win.
00:22:39
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it to Harry People are mean to women that are good. So I don't think as talented as Jenna is, I don't think she's going to win.
00:22:53
Speaker 1: I think Taylor Hanson could win. I'm just saying it. I think he could.
00:22:59
Speaker 3: Have you guys listened to the Oom Bop acoustic version they performed.
00:23:03
Speaker 1: With the Philharmonic?

You know who's like the number one Hanson fan? Ashley Iaconetti. Oh yeah. And the lyrics are just so good. I never realized it. I'm telling you that Taylor Hanson's a cutie. I requested him on TRL.
