What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? Answer, a new podcast called Wisecrack, where a comedian finds himself at the center of a chilling true crime story. Does anyone know what show they've come to see? It's a story. It's about the scariest night of my life. This is Wisecrack, available now.

And we are back with part two with Jenna and Joey talking about their dancing with the stars experience after the big win. So we finished off last episode talking about just the difference in abilities. And can you guys just give us an idea of what it's like with scoring? Because obviously, week one, Joey, where you're going to be ability-wise is so different than where someone like Chandler is going to be how is it not like a two and a ten you know it's hard with scoring again because i think for the first little bit they try to just score based off of the own individual but then once it starts getting down to the later episodes you start comparing right um so for scoring for me from the very beginning, I told Joey, I don't care about the scores. Like, we should not focus on those. Yes, we should listen to what the judges are saying and their critiques. But for me,

those numbers don't matter. As long as we're happy with how we did, we're continuing to improve and doing our very best. Like, the number that they show isn't going to make a break if I'm fulfilled with our performance or not. So it is hard, though, because when you have, like, we had a couple of times where we were like, that was our best dance yet. And we got scores that we didn't think that that matched that or how we felt at the end of it. So that's, I try to keep it as like scores are what they're going to be. Let's just control what we can control. It's definitely in the beginning. It's a lot easier to do that because especially if you feel like you are in the competition and doing well, which we kind of did the entire time. I feel like we were in the

top four almost the entire time on the show, which was great for scoring. But we didn't really let scores maybe affect what we were thinking until maybe like week six or week seven and then it just started to be comparative you started to look at everyone else and you're like oh wait like our scores do matter now we want to stay in this competition and it's hard it's it's definitely a game but she was always great at with all of it just taking out all the distractions and focusing on what we can control because we actually cannot control any of that we can just leave that dance and know that we felt good about it and we did almost every single time so that was really all we kind of held on to each week. What was the week or what was the dance where you were like, okay, we have a shot

at going to the finals? Was there a moment where you're like, okay, yeah, we were part of the competition here? Yeah. I mean, I think each week he kind of held his own and made a splash or an impact in the competition. But I would say maybe, I don't know how you feel, but I would say tango. was the moment. I think it was week four, show four, but it was when Derek told him that it was the best tango that he'd seen a male celebrity do on the show. And I knew that like his frame and everything was really, really great, but I, you get a little desensitized when you're in the room with somebody for hours on end. And that tango was a, was a issue for him that. It was hard to get where it got. But I think that was the time I was like, oh, maybe we could

actually do this and take this. So that really, I feel like motivated both of us. Yeah. Like push and just give our very best every week. We put so much energy into that tango too because it was my first dance in frame. It was not easy for, I think that was the first time you obviously have the whole week, Joe, you know how it is. But that was the first time where we didn't get a dance like feeling good until maybe the end of the day on Saturday. And for anyone that doesn't know the schedule the show, you only have like a day and a half after Saturday to really get ready for the actual live show. So we did, that was the latest, we felt good about a dance.

But at the end of the Saturday, we were like, oh, it's coming together. And then Sunday, we were like, wait, this might be our best dance yet. And then that was a game-changing night because that was the first time we passed Chandler and we're top of the leaderboard by herself. And we finished out the show. We were the last performance. And to hear Derek's comments and to see like the scores actually show the amount of effort we put in, that was where I think we both were like,

you might have a chance if we keep working as hard as we did because we worked really hard on that time on that one was too is there like an ideal spot like when you're finding out if you're first or last like where you're performing is there kind of a zone you're hoping for heck yeah okay i don't know i hated hated it when we were first i just oh okay i thought it was so hard to mentally get ready to do well in the dance because you went straight from the bumper of introducing the live show, standing up there with everyone, and then boom, lights hit, and you have two minutes to get ready to dance. And usually, if you have a later dance, for me, it felt so nice that we had the ability to warm up a little bit before, get your

mind right, talk through it, maybe do a couple of the steps. You didn't get, like, thrust it into it. And then also, I felt like last was horrible because you waited the entire day. When we were last for the tango, there were still 12 couples. Yeah, you're like waiting two hours to go in your dance and you're just like iced out you've seen how everyone's done i feel like you see the scores you start to like put pressure on yourself so we always found our sweet spot was like in the middle like six or seven or halfway through the show was we felt great about yeah starting on hard and then yeah finishing it's epic because it's like an honor to go last and there's like conspiracy theories that if you're going last you have a really good dance oh really i feel like it's

a lot of pressure and then on the flip side too for like voting are they voting for you without seeing your dance so is it better to go earlier on like there's so many things go into but i feel like we always did best when we were like six or seven yeah yeah especially when there's less couples like i love when you're like third i think was our favorite spot because you didn't have to wait but you didn't have to go right away and that was that was the sweet spot i feel like for us yeah i guess you're like once the show starts your adrenaline is going so you're just waiting and like getting probably more and more like sweating the whole time you're sweating the whole time i always went and you're like they always

had me i was like warming up for two hours i was always near the end i was always near the end really yeah they had me sit there waiting the whole time and then i'd be watching people they just hated you yeah i'd be like i can't and it would be like they'd have me go before like milo manhine who's literally doing somersault and like like 360 flips and i bet well okay well you can't do that my signature move was literally like this just raising your arm in there I watched at least five-year dances, and I loved every second of it. Honestly, the judges were mean to me. I wasn't as bad as they let on.

Jen was on the season. What is the deal with her and Sasha? Are they dating? I don't know. No one knows. No one knows. I don't think that they've admitted either way. Okay.

Okay. We didn't miss like a hard launch or anything. Oh, I mean, they just went to Taylor Swift. That looks pretty cool. They went to Taylor Swift together. Listen, they both look really, really happy, and I'm so here for it if it's a thing. Yeah, we can't speculate. We know as much as everyone else does.

But we'll see. I feel like news may be coming soon, but I don't know. I feel like you are kind of are speculating. But how was it with her, though, Joey? Did you guys like talk to were you able to like kind of like, how's your experience going? Yeah, I think that from the beginning, I just. just tried to be supportive of Jen. I think everyone knew coming off this season. She was going through a lot. I think, as you said, a lot of, um, Serena said earlier, like a lot of people that

have done the show sometimes have went on to it immediately after that experience. And it's a great way to put their time and energy towards something that is going to give back to them and maybe even be a distraction. So I tried as much as I could just to kind of help make it a fun experience for her whenever I did see and ask out things were going and give her confidence. Because I think that was just the whole vibe of this cast this season. rooting for each other and kind of just trying to have everyone make it a fun experience that we all got to have together uh it was fun we did a group dance and you you were on the same team as them so that was fun you guys like even dance together and i was like oh that's that's fun little easter egg

for all east yeah they threw up an old picture of us in the middle of that package out of nowhere which was crazy but no did they from your season we were we were getting ready to dance no yeah it was crazy. I was like, this is, that is a old photo. Kelsey's like, F, you guys. Well, you do these packages come up sometimes right in the middle of the live show and that's the first time you get to see it. And we never pay attention to the packages. But I couldn't miss that one because the whole crowd made a noise. And I looked up and it was a picture of us too. I was like, whoa, okay, that was a choice. Someone made a decision for that one. But I remember this? I think the whole vibe this season was just everyone was supporting each other. And,

And yeah, I think Jen had as great of experience as she could. I think she was just really grateful because it was such a last-minute thing. And they did great. They put out some really great dances through the whole show. I'm Jamil Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? many of them are in fear of their political lives and that's been part of the challenge but we continue to

say to them you were elected to defend your constituents to stand up for your constituents and there's life after congress and you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the house of representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years but their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever.

What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aimed to provide a shock of prison

life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How did you guys get along couple-wise, you know, for our listeners, Jenna is married to Vail,

who's another professional dancer on the show? did you guys do like double dates and all that all that fun stuff again in the beginning it's a little hard because vow was also still the competition until like week seven or eight um and then by that time you're like in quarter finals and you're just we were so busy and rehearsing and interviews and things um but yeah it was fun we did do you remember when we did the Halloween package where we went to the haunted hay ride we actually did the same thing which was that place was fun that place was fun. actually that place is fun so we got to do that and we had them over for dinner right before the season started that was really nice um and kelsey got to meet rome and kind of gets to know val um but yeah it was it was awesome joe did vall give you any any he would give me pointers did he give you any pointers oh i don't i don't do well and win this competition without vow 100 as much as jena was the real person that was kind of driving everything to have vow as someone else that can come and give little points and explain what it should look like

for the guy. I know they work together so much to this. So yeah, he was crucial through all this and was kind of our biggest supporter towards the end when like she said, he was no longer in the competition. What does a week look like for you guys when you're filming? Like a snapshot of like a Monday to a Sunday? Yeah. Towards the end, it was a lot different than the beginning. You had a lot of time in the beginning, especially like during training. We only had like four hour days. And I mean, technically that was the case. Oh, really? That's all you guys were doing for you only do four hour days now. Yeah, I think they changed it up. I don't know what it was like with with beers, but it wasn't the training wasn't like super crazy. Maybe that was just you, Joe.

No, it wasn't super crazy in the beginning. Uh, and then I felt like right around, I don't know, was it at week six, Disney with Samba was when it just kind of kicked it kicked up. But basically, we have our shows our live shows Tuesday and then so your dance is the best it's going to be you're on set all day on the show day from like 637 a.m. until the show ends you have press after so you're not leaving there until like 830 p.m. And then you go the next day on Wednesday and you start all over again. So you're up early. We have a heart to heart which is like an hour and a half little interview between the two of us like a package shoot. And then you start over on your dance. It's like a four hour, four to six hour rehearsal. Joey has a master interview and then we have rehearsal Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday's camera blocking, which is the first time that you do it on stage with the cameras and the lighting. You also have fittings throughout your week. It's pretty nuts. And I think all the little stuff. That's crazy. Yeah. Like the little things that you don't think of. We're also doing like press days or media days, you know, throughout the season.

and I'm also a mom. So trying to navigate that is really hard. Yeah, so actually let's talk about that for a minute. So your mom, Rome is how old? He's about to be two. Okay. So this, technically, is this, were you, did you take a year off? I did when I was pregnant.

I did last season, but I got eliminated fairly early on. So this was my first time experiencing the full season as a mom. And I mean, Joey can attest to this. It's, it was hard on me. Just because of the time commitment. And I would, I mean, again, we danced the whole time. We would work really, really hard. And then I'm waking up with my baby at 6.37 a.m. every day.

And then I go home and I'm on. He doesn't care that I've had a full day of rehearsals. He wants mommy time. He wants me to feed him. He wants me to do bath time, put him to bed. So, and then too, like towards the end, once it's like three and a half months in, I started really not feeling guilty, but I was just missing my son. And I could tell that he was really emotional without me. He started to want

only vow to put him to bed. And that like made that like broke. He was like punishing you. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But also winning the mirror ball, it just like made it so fulfilling for my mom self as well. I don't think, I was trying to go back and look, but I don't think a mom has ever won. I felt like really proud to do this for like moms and not giving up on your dreams and knowing that like it is tough and it's going to be a lot of effort and work, but it's so rewarding. Like this win, this whole season, this was so so. It was just everything that I needed and more and like really proved to me that like I can still achieve my dreams and still push. But it's just going to take a lot of effort and work. Yeah. People ask us all the time, like, what is it like

being in a relationship and working together? And Joe's answer is always like, well, we only work together for like three hours a week. And if we can't handle that, we probably shouldn't be married. But you're like, you're constantly every season working together separately, but together and competing against your husband. What is that dynamic like? It's awesome. Because again, And during the season, the hours are so long and crazy. The fact that on a camera blocking day, I get to have my husband on set where I'm going to be gone for hours and he's going to be able to like peek in and see how our dance is looking, give me a little tidbits, whatever, or even on like just regular rehearsal days, if he's

at the studio as well, I can go into his rehearsal, see how his dance looks, vice versa. So again, it's tough because we're so consumed in this bubble for like three and a half months. but the fact that we have the understanding of what one another's going through we i mean he's an expert he's a genius at what he does so the fact that i get his advice his expertise it's just it's really really awesome yeah joey so you you're the bachelor you you do really well on that everyone loves you're you're engaged uh so you technically win that show you go on dancing with the stars you win the mirror ball, congratulations. What, what's the plan now? Because you kind of go into these. You're supposed to be coming back here and now you're in L.A. Yeah. And you also, I feel like you go into

most of these experiences like whatever happens and it just so happens that like the best, the best outcome kind of always happens for you. So like, well, what's up? What are you doing? Yeah. Real housewives of Beverly Hills. Probably. That sounds about right. Yeah. That's the ideal. It's natural progression. No, it's kind of nice to have a lot of unknown right now. I'm very excited about it because as much as there was a little break in between Bachelor and Dance with the Stars, it also feel like it flew by and Kelsey and I were so busy and really just trying to figure out what we want to do next.

But my goals are different right now. I've got personal goals that are more important to me than my actual goals I'm having for what I want to do with work and a job because I really want to put a lot of energy and effort into my relationship with Kelsey, focus on us getting settled here in L.A. and starting our life here. We're so excited to be moving into an apartment and getting that to feel like a home. So we have our first home base that's really ours together. So that and putting as much energy and effort into us planning what our future is going to look like and figuring out what we want to do together, that's the personal side that I'm putting

all my energy and effort into. And then professional side, I'm really open right now. I'm excited to be in LA because I think there is a lot of opportunity. I had a lot of people on dancing from the producing side come up to me and said that they think I need to be doing more and try to find something in TV. So I'm getting connected with the right people to look and see where there could be opportunities with that. But also in this industry and that, that's so hard to plan and figure out what exactly it's going to be.

I think what's really important is being open and getting connected with the right people and just trying my best to, yeah, try to strive to do something that can be cool and different. I've had a good stint on TV these last two years. I think I need a little break from reality TV. That's probably the first step is the not do another reality TV show right away. But we'll see what comes next. I'm definitely

open and I'm definitely excited. What part of LA are you guys living? We kind of got a spot right smack dab in the middle of Hollywood. I thought we were in West Hollywood. Hollywood. Someone called me a liar. Don't dish their neighborhood. They just moved there and signed a lease. He's like, get out right now.

There's parts of Hollywood that are nice. Yeah. So we're like right on the outside of West Hollywood. We're not like on Hollywood Boulevard or anything. We've got a nice little area that feels like an actual neighborhood. We picked it because Kelsey was like, oh, I can actually like walk outside and walk the block and grab a nice cup of coffee somewhere. And it feels like you're not really in L.A. where we're at, which is great. But then obviously you drive a block and then you're in L.A. full force.

So it's good. But yeah, we're excited. Just trying to start our life here for. a little bit. No, California, L.A. is awesome. I love it. I mean, the weather, we're going in a few days. I'm Jemail Hill, host to the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics.

A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable.

These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now. a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like, ah, got you.

On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors.

What do you guys got going on for the holidays?

Oh, Joe. Do you do Elf on the Shelf yet? Is Rome old enough for Elf on the Shelf? I just taught Joe about Elf on the Shelf. You didn't know about Elf on the show? His best friend's son called and was like showing him the elf. And I'm listening to this interaction. And I'm like, Joe has no idea what's happening right now.

I heard of Elf on the Shelf. I just didn't know what the concept was. I mean, I knew what Elf on the Shelf was. It's an elf on a shelf. Yeah, you got that far. Yeah. No, I get it. We don't have kids.

No, I'm so excited because we just actually moved into a new house. And this will be our first Chris. doing our own thing and our own home and starting our own traditions and yes joe i do love christmas um it was very big for me growing up and so like the excitement that i get already plant planting those roots for my son and like what we're going to do is so exciting vow uh didn't celebrate christmas growing up and so until he was like an adult in his 30s he didn't really know like what the whole christmas vibe was and why I'm Jewish.

Yeah, Jewish. Yeah, and like in Ukraine, they just didn't release. New Year's is like their Christmas. Okay. But since we got together and myself and my sister-in-law, Pita, with her husband, we now do like the full matching pajamas and like to see my father-in-law, this like muscle Ukrainian man who looks like Bruce Willis, to see him in a full onesie matching with the rest,

it's just like the best thing in the world. And now they're so invested in it. And every year, it's like, okay, what are our pajamas this year? So I love that stuff. And it's really exciting. We need to get a tree this week. That's on our to-do list. So we're going to do that.

That's fun. How about you guys, Joey? Where are you guys going? We are going to actually spend it with Kelsey's family and March new girlfriend as well. I was going to say, is the new girlfriend coming. New girlfriend will be there with her family, which is going to be great. Barbara's awesome. They've gotten a chance to go out to dinner with.

her and her family when Mark came to L.A., so yeah, we spend Thanksgiving with my family. We're spending Christmas with hers, and we're excited for it. We're going to go see the Packers play in Minnesota, too, and we're bringing Mark because he's a huge Vikings fan. So that'll be fun. Just going to enjoy time with the family and travel a little bit for the holidays. Yeah, I saw, I think it was Kelsey that posted like a photo of you and Nick. It was like just two Packers fans.

She's all of a sudden acting like she's a Vikings fan now. I still call her out on it. Like just because your dad loves the Vikings, you can't, you can't just claim them all of a sudden now. She does that really just to get at me, which I don't appreciate sometimes. But now she like actually knows all about the team and is paying attention just because they're really good and she knows it bothers me. So yeah, she's got that gone for her. That's so funny. Oh my gosh.

Do you guys have, have you guys talked about wedding plans at all or just you've been living a crazy life? So we, we, that is on our to do list for the new year. We really want to figure out location, date. we have so many ideas of what we want to do if we want to go destination if we want to just make it somewhere on the east coast close to our families we're not sure yet but uh yeah we're going to figure that out first and i think our goal has always been to set the date within the next like six months or so and then once we have that we can really start playing in the head nice that's exciting i feel like the big decisions at the beginning of like where when

venue are like the hardest biggest one then it kind of all just falls in a place from there. Yeah, we said we had to figure out where we were living first. We got that checked off and now we have to figure out everything else. So we're excited for it. I think that's one of the coolest parts of this is we get to really plan ahead now. What happened with your guys living situation? Because last time we saw you in New York, you were like, we're moving here and then you switched it up. He spent three months in an 80 degree weather. And he's like, I'm not going to East Coast winters after this. I was always really interested in LA. I think Kelsey wasn't, and that was the biggest reason why we were leaning more towards New York,

because that was also a place that she really wanted to live. But then I just told her, I said, hey, well, we're going to be in L.A. for hopefully a decent amount of time if everything goes well, dance with the stars. And this should be a great opportunity to feel out if this is a spot you want to live. And if you don't like it, I'm in for New York. Let's go. But after maybe about like a couple weeks to a month of living here, she connected with a lot of people, as Joe said, she loved the weather.

and I think we both felt we'd have a more active and fun lifestyle here maybe for us. So she told me, she's like, I'm open to it. I think we should try it for a year. I think there's a lot of opportunity here too. And as soon as she gave me any chance at L.A., I said, I'm looking for this tomorrow. So we locked it down pretty quickly because I was really excited. So, yeah, I think we're still going to spend a lot of time in New York. She's got so much stuff with work that brings her there.

And I do love visiting New York. I'm more excited about living in L.A., though. and I think that I'm going to have to visit New York quite a bit that she gave me the L.A. spot. So, yeah, I'm sure we'll be there really a lot. It's a lot harder to play tennis in 30 degree weather and snow. It doesn't work that way. So we're starting to make some tennis connects. I'm golfing tomorrow.

Like, I'm stoked. I'm very happy to be here. Any tour announcements? Can we talk anything about tour or? Yeah. We're so excited because we are going on the tour for, I think it's like three and a half weeks all that we're doing. But it's super exciting because we're going to be in Philly for Joey's hometown show.

Oh, that's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, I mean, Joe, you did the tour. It's a lot of fun because that's when you did it. I did the whole thing. Yes, you did. I can't believe you lived in an RV.

You're bougie ass. I know. So you've been on a bunk bed in a car. Bunk bed. That's the thing. It's tour so much fun because like, if. you have the chance to do it you have to but it's not a very glamorous life like you're sleeping in bunk beds four feet away from your neighbor like there's no privacy some of the showers at the at like

you know some of the venues or arenas like some of the showers you're showing like they're not like communal yeah make sure you bring flip flops yeah bring flip flops okay i'm excited for that though like when do you get the opportunity to do that i'm the weird of that was actually excited about the bus life as much as I was told you're going to hate it after a couple of days I'm excited for you have to experience it but also it's so fun because that's when you that's the only time you get to meet these fans or these people that just went to bat for you for three and a half months so that gets really exciting um I'm excited for you to experience that but yeah so we're actually rehearsing for that these next couple of weeks and then we go out the end of January and then

the end of February to March for a little bit so that's kind of nice you guys both get like a chunk of a break. Yeah. And then you go away just for, you know, a stint and then you're back. Yeah. Yeah. Our long stint is that February, March time. And we're doing Florida through Texas and a few of other the southeast state. So that will be like, Joey's like just the warm states. Smart. Hey, I didn't pick the schedule. But when they sent it to me, I was like, oh, this is a nice, this is a nice little spot that we're doing. I get to go to some of the warm areas. But yeah, it'll be it'll be fun. I'm excited for it. Are you going to miss dancing? don't even know if I still know how to dance and tell you the truth just taking a right now I'm I'm so nervous to do rehearsal this week and actually be expected to still remember all this stuff and you have to host and you have to host right I'm more excited for that

get me on my and let me talk some some BS for a little bit I'm excited for that but I'm nervous that I'm going to have to remember how to dance each day and do that again but I really want to find a way to keep doing this I still haven't talked to Jenna and Val but I'm going to either make them keep coaching me and just pay them to do that or they're going to have to connect me with a good coach because I'm going to miss doing this a lot. I did the tour. They didn't, they didn't trust me with the mic. So I co-hosted it with Vail because they're like, Phil, you also, you need to have a mic in case this guy. Yeah, you can't be left alone. Exactly what Jenna said. Someone speaks Heather to you at all time. And then show number three, Jenna came up and said, hey, they, they want to, they want to cut your

dance. Are you okay with? Did you only have one dance? I only had one dance. Okay. What was it like a duet? It was a yeah. It was like they want to cut your dance or they want to put Artem in there instead of you. Are you okay with that? I was like yeah, I'm fine. So I did the tour and didn't. How long were you on tour? Two months? Two and a half months. And you didn't dance. And I didn't dance. So remember you did like some of the group numbers to be fair. I did. Oh, you did. Yeah. Okay. So you did dance. And I didn't. And I didn't you did like the guy's number, the cowboy number or something? I did the cowboy number, but I, they, uh, Alan and Gleb carried me out. So I didn't even have to do steps up to the front.

They just carried me like this and I went up to the front and then I turned around and I shake my ass and I walked off stage. Oh, man. That's a good thing. When you're lovable, you're lovable. You know what you do? Yeah. They played your strikes.

It was great. Sharpen up your, uh, Madden skills because you get to play Madden on the bus. That's a lot of fun. Oh, that's good. Joe's like, I went, I played Madden, I gambled, I shook my ass, and that was the best time of my life, and then I left. That was, what an experience.
