Almost Famous to OG's Bob Guinea, Trista Sutter. Trista, we are here. I got to be honest, part of me is sad that the finale happened last night, which means we're not going to be talking about dancing every week.
Starting point is 00:02:57 This has been a lot of fun. I know. I'm going to miss it. I agree. But there's so much to get to. Oh, major spoiler alerts, guys. If you're listening to this podcast right now, you're going to find out who won Dancing with Stars last night.
Starting point is 00:03:10 If you don't already know, it's everywhere, right? It is literally everywhere. It's huge news for us because it proves that you and I could be judges on Dancing with the Stars because we chose this. Just saying. Well, we chose him winning. That's true. But we got everybody else wrong.
Starting point is 00:03:29 That's true. that's true um very valid point although if you look at the judge's scores we got everybody right so we'll get into that yeah that's true that's so funny i didn't look at that oh yeah i went through him this morning when i was kind of reading up on stuff and um i told hana i watched this kind of like half awake i fell asleep with gracing last night putting him to sleep and then i woke up and I'm like, oh, my God, I got to watch the show. And I was like, one eye open. And I may have fallen asleep several times as well.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I had to do a satellite media tour yesterday morning from 530 to 10 or 530 to 11. So I was going on a little bit of gas. Oh, my gosh. For what, deal? No, you know, well, I did a deal this weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And then was supposed to be gone Saturday and Sunday, come back Monday and then go straight to New York to do a satellite media tour. And I do them like for different holidays throughout the course of the year.
Starting point is 00:04:25 In fact, I'd love to talk to you about it because I think you'd be a great addition to the stable of talent they have for this. I would love that. Yeah. I do it probably 10 times a year. And it's like, oh, that's amazing. Yeah. And nine times out of ten, I get to keep the stuff too, which is really cool. But lately they've been a little stingy and stuff, which bums me out.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Anywho, that's neither here nor there. But I was so worn down, you know, that I was like, oh, my God, I got to watch Dancing with the Stars, you know? And family came in and everything. So I watched it later and I missed a few things that I read this morning that I'm like, how did I miss that? You know, and like, for example, there was some class A level flirting going on with Julianne Huff and Danny Amandola and I'm officially jealous of it. I'm jealous of it.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Did you see that? I literally pointed at the television and I'm like, I ship this. Like, isn't that what people say now? Yes, they say I ship it. Yeah. Well, actually, I'm a little facts. We'll have to ask Hannah what they say now. I'm sure it's not shipped it anymore. What do they say? Yeah, probably not. It is. It is. It is. Yay. I got it right. Okay. So yes, I was like, I'm cool still. I'm like, you know, we are so trendy. Yes. We're so trendy. Gosh, we finally made it, T. Yeah, I saw that and I'm like, damn it. Now, granted, I'm a happily married man. There's nothing I'm going to do. But I don't know why, but it just. bothered me that Julianne Huff was flirting with Danny Amadola and not somehow through the screen with me. Isn't that terrible? Like, how am I jealous of that? It was really, really cute. Like,
Starting point is 00:06:01 she was laying in, I don't know if you ended up seeing it, but Julianne's laying in his bed because it was the bed, like the prop from their Barbie freestyle dance. And Julianne asked him a question and he goes, then he goes, I think the better question is, Julianne, why are you in my bed? It was perfect It was so cute I loved that moment That dude has probably used that line a few times In his life
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah No he hasn't He doesn't wonder why women are in his bed He knows He's like we all know why you're in my bench Yeah So last night Season 33 mirror ball
Starting point is 00:06:41 We picked the top five That part we had correct We also picked number one Based on the scores Based on the scores Well, based on the scores, we picked the top five correctly. And I'm going to go over the scores real quick, okay? So I'll save our number one finisher for last.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Stephen and Riley scored a 29 and a 30 for a total of 59. Didn't pick that one, actually. Joey and Jenna, also a 59. Didn't pick that. What do you mean we didn't pick that one? Well, I guess we did. I didn't pick Stephen to be that hot. I thought Stephen was going to be.
Starting point is 00:07:15 But he was the last one, like fifth place. Yeah. Whitney and Danny, only a 56, which I didn't think was accurate. I thought they were robbed for their Barbie dance. They should have got all tens. I thought it was so entertaining. It was great. Like the costumes, he did a great job with his acting skills.
Starting point is 00:07:36 The dancing was amazing. We actually know one of the dancers, like the background dancers, her name is Mia Maxwell, and she is choreographing a solo for Blake's Lee this year for competition. No way. Yeah. Isn't that fun? Herd mom teaches at Blake's dance studio. So that was really fun for Blake'sley and I to see is me. Oh, heck yeah. That's super cool. Yeah, it was amazing. No, I love that. And then you got Alona and Allen 57. So I guess I kind of, if I'm thinking about the ranking of the scores, I thought Stephen and Alona would be fourth and fifth. Yeah. Then Chandler, perfect score. 60. 30 and 30. But wait. So who did I say? I said fifth was going to be Stephen and then did I say fourth was going to be Danny? Yeah. You remember I switched it up. I wrote this down. I said I said fourth was
Starting point is 00:08:33 going to be Danny and third was going to be Alona. So I actually got the scores right. You did not. I did not. You're absolutely right. You did. And I was the one who picked. I was the one who said, I actually think I said, no, I did. I said Stephen, then Alona, then. Danny. Yeah. You said Stephen, Danny, Alona. So you actually got the whole thing right, the whole kitten caboodle. Well, based on the course, but not on the, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:01 No, I just know the show. And I feel like there's always some kind of, what do you call it? When the underdog wins, a twist or, yeah, exactly. So an upset is the word I was thinking of. So I knew there were. going to be some kind of upset in terms of what I was thinking and I couldn't be right. So that's why I switched it up. But I will say that Alona, I think who was saying, who was saying this in the beginning? Maybe it was Alfonso or maybe it was Julianne, but they were talking
Starting point is 00:09:36 about how much the world really has, um, love, has fallen in love with her based on, and we talked about this the last time, but based on, like, her, her social media posts, her TikToks, her Instagram posts, everyone just, and I am in that boat, too, I'm a huge fan. I love how real and raw she's been about not feeling beautiful because she is like a muscular, uh, larger woman. Um, just, I, I think that it's a beautiful story. about how you don't have to be Barbie, you know, skinny and tiny and blonde to be beautiful. I just, I love, I loved her whole, her whole storyline, really. And the beautiful partnership between her and Allen, too, like the tears that were flowing between both of them, like you could tell that they just really, truly became so close.
Starting point is 00:10:47 and respect each other and and had the greatest time. Yeah, I agree with you. You know, looking back, Alona really was the underdog, and she, you know, proved that she belonged there. Yeah. Chandler was the best answer. Joey was the most popular. And Alona, I feel like, grew in people's hearts
Starting point is 00:11:14 because they could relate to her. And, you know, because everyone has felt not included in their life. And I feel like that was part of why, like, the draw that she just didn't feel like she was enough, right? Yeah. And I agree with you. I think, you know, it's kind of interesting because you think of these Olympians, right? And you think, oh, my God, they're so great at what they do.
Starting point is 00:11:39 And they've always been this awesome. And they must, you know, have this sense of self that, you know, is just like infallible or on touchable. And I think you saw it with Stephen a little bit too. You know, these guys are, yeah, they're really good at what they do. But stepping outside of, of their world is, is, they're just like everybody else. You know, they, they have those same insecurities that everybody has. And, you know, I didn't, I didn't pick up on the Alona thing as early as you did, but I definitely, I definitely got on the Alona train towards the end here. And I feel like, um, you know, you're right. I think her showing her vulnerability and her really kind of putting it out there did make America
Starting point is 00:12:21 warm up to her because, you know, and that's what this show is, I think, really about. These top five, I think, were really all, I hate to say it because I know it sounds like participation trophy style stuff, but they were all really big winners here because, you know, for Stephen and Alona as Olympians to get, let people get to know their personalities, that's something we don't get to know with these Olympians usually. And then you got Danny who came off of, you know, an amazing NFL career, but he was arguably, I think one of the better NFL dudes that have been on the show
Starting point is 00:12:48 and then these top two I mean I don't know we've got we've had a lot of really amazing NFL athletes no you're right we have we have a lot my boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now I'm seriously
Starting point is 00:13:08 suspicious oh wait a minute Sam maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit well Dakota it's back to school week on the okay Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other,
Starting point is 00:13:24 but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him?
Starting point is 00:13:39 Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine.
Starting point is 00:14:42 years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. On 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?

Starting point is 00:17:24 Listen to Family Secrets Season 12 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Joey's beard maintenance in and of itself should be worthy of a Mirabaptro. I mean, this dude, how do these guys do this? Like, I mean, I don't get it. I'm a guy. Hair and makeup. I've got clippers.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I can't make my stumble. Seriously, you really think that he's doing that? No, that is hair and makeup. He goes into the chair literally, probably right before, maybe a couple hours before. And they even showed him at the beginning of the show where he was sitting in the makeup chair and he's like, or Alfonso's like, he just got a haircut. But, you know, like, it literally happens right there. So he's got a hairstylist following him around who's going to, like, trim him up and make him look at all times. You know, I couldn't do that if my life, if you told me, I'll give you a million dollars and a mirror ball trophy.
Starting point is 00:18:26 You know, I don't think I could grow up here like that in 10 weeks. No way. No way in hell. But yeah, so we picked it. We definitely picked the top two correctly. You picked all five. I got the top two. I really thought Chandler was amazing last night.
Starting point is 00:18:43 I thought her dances were unreal. Amazing. I mean, but I also think, and you know, this begs a question too. I saw some stuff online today about Karyana Naba and how, you know, she was a little critical there in the end. And part of me feels like, part of me often wonders if that is her trying to like forge her identity on the show as the stickler. because it's like because Derek has kind of come on you know Derek took over the chair for Len Goodman
Starting point is 00:19:15 when he passed away and Derek has the ability to be critical as a very well known former pro dancer and of course with his time on so you think he can dance or whatever the other one was that he did as well what was that other one called it wasn't so you think he can dance what was that one? Oh um
Starting point is 00:19:29 the one with Jennifer Lopez world of dance yeah thank you and um and he was always like the guy who he can give critical feedback because he It's so good. He's more like technical. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:42 He is very concerned with technique, you know, and what is included. And that was always a Carrie Ann's role, I think, before. Yeah. So maybe that's why she says some of the weird stuff she says. But like she got booed last night, which, you know, that used to be, that used to be, Len Goodman would get booed and everyone, you know, it was almost like tongue and cheek. That one felt personal a little bit last night, I thought. I don't, I don't agree with you.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I feel like as a judge, you have to call it like it is. And even if it's not going to be popular, because obviously, Joey, because he won, the reason I'm saying he's the most popular is because he won. I feel like the votes always come into play in the finale, even more so than any other, you know, time of the show. And like Alfonso was saying, we crushed it, like hit a new record in terms of how many votes can.
Starting point is 00:20:38 in. So I feel like, and Blake'sley and I were two people who voted for him that hadn't been voting for him because, like I've said in the past. Yeah, how did you get the timing right? Well, we got the timing right because I'm made sure we got the timing right. I was like, I was early. We actually tried to vote at 5 p.m. our time thinking that they started at 7 p.m. Eastern, but they didn't start the votes until 8 p.m. Eastern. So we had to wait an hour to vote. But we got votes in and I think that that um you know maybe maybe that played a part in it who knows but i think that joey definitely got the popular vote and she got booed because because he is really popular and at this point in time everyone's falling in love with these finalists you know everyone
Starting point is 00:21:29 has a stake in seeing them succeed and wanting them to be happy i feel like and um carry ann saying anything negative, she's going to get booze. And I think that's just the nature of the beast. I don't think she's going to change at all. And I don't think she should change. I think she needs to call it like it is. And she thought that it was underwhelming. So, hey, say that. What did you think? Did you think it was underwhelming? I will say that it wasn't my favorite freestyle. Okay. So the freestyles that, I mean, first of all, actually, I loved Stevens, like coming out the gate. Stevens was great. I think he did an awesome job. I love how they incorporated his teammates in there.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Chandler's, she is just perfection. She really, truly is. And the fact that there had never been a black couple to be in the finale was just like an emotional thing. I know. That was kind of shocking. I guess I didn't even realize that. I know. You know, I don't think about that stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:32 It's like, and I know that I should be more mindful. and I mean this in a respectful way. I didn't see them as black dancers. I just saw them as awesome dancers. I don't think about that. Totally agree. Yeah. And I was like watching it.
Starting point is 00:22:46 And when they said that, I was like, oh my gosh, you know. Well, I think for them, like being able to show, like, just like Chandler said when she was being interviewed by Julianne, show like young people who are watching the show that there can be, there should be to black dancers together in the finale. Like why, like, you know, people talk about how they didn't see representation growing up on television or whatever. I love that they brought that to the stage. I love that that is a, that they accomplished that, you know? And not that they were trying.
Starting point is 00:23:22 They were just amazing. So they accomplished it because they were amazing. And I just love that. And I love that they gave homage to, to, to. you know, black entertainers in history. Like, it was actually such a cool dance for that reason. And then my favorite was Alonas. I loved her dance.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Is she the best dancer in the bunch? She's not. But, oh, I was having fun. She was having fun. Loved the empowerment. Like, I, her confidence, the costumes, the girls were freaking hot. Like, it was, I loved the song. I loved Alana's.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Like, and I loved how she started it, how she was, like, walking through, like, you know, like a locker room, essentially, looking at these photos and reminiscing about the memories. And I loved that they made it sentimental in the beginning. And then she was just like, I'm going to freaking let it go. And this is me and I'm hot. and deal with it. Good for her. Good for her.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yeah. I got to say there was some great choices last night musically too. Like I really thought that was one of the things that stood out to me. You know, I mean, I'm looking at like Steven's Stephen and Riley's songs. You know, of course, the Friends theme song, right? I'll be there for you, the Rembrandts. But they also had Viva LaVita Colplay, which is one of my favorite songs. Joey had another one of my favorite songs from the trolls movie.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Can't stop the feeling Justin Timberlake. I know. I love that. canned heat by District 78, which I thought was interesting because District 78 also shows up a little later. But then I love this song, Post Malone and Morgan Wall and I had some help. I love that song. And then the Barbie medley, which was just really great.
Starting point is 00:25:16 That whole dance was so great. Then you mentioned Olona. They had Shake a Tail Feather by Ray Charles, which band from TV used to cover, by the way. And then they had the song Phenomenomenon. Feminon. Phenon. Phenon. And that's a hard word to say.
Starting point is 00:25:30 That's a tongue to us. Yes. So good. APT, which was a duet with Bruno Mars and Rose, and then a mashup of Hells of Poppin and Move On Up, which was awesome for Chandler and Brain. It's so funny. You were saying all of these songs. I am like, which song was that?
Starting point is 00:25:48 Which dance was that? Because I don't know titles. I don't know song titles. I know. And then I obsess with titles and lyrics. It's so crazy, you know. The lyrics, yes, 100% the lyrics I obsess with. I don't know the titles.
Starting point is 00:26:00 But I loved that they, for, every dance, the redemption songs, I felt like for everybody, the song fit perfectly. I agree. It fit perfectly. Like, what was the song, like you said, the Morgan, I think the Morgan Wallin one. Yeah, I had some help. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no. Yeah, exactly. I loved that for Danny and Whitney. Like, I don't know. I just, I thought they did a great job in choosing the songs, and that's not always the case. But I thought the songs were perfection. The songs and the costumes were on point the costumes were gorgeous um the green with joey i was like why did they why did they have them wear this neon green it was that wasn't my favorite outfit that wasn't my favorite but i thought
Starting point is 00:26:45 jena looked really pretty in it like it was nice for her jena can't not look pretty like she is she's a stunner um i just i just love them and i'm so happy for them so blakesly and i recorded our reaction and first of all, we were both shooketh when Chandler got third. We were shocked because at one point I said during the show, I said she's going to win because she was freaking crushing everything. She was doing amazing and I just, I was like she's going to win. Do you think that was just a popular vote thing because people just didn't know her before this show?
Starting point is 00:27:27 I do. I 100% do. That is why you vote. Yeah. That's why you vote. Yeah. If you are, if you're really thinking that you want the best answer to win, then you need, then you need to vote for the best answer.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Right. I personally, I have been saying all this season, she's the best answer. I voted for Joey. Yeah. Yeah. You know, so if you want the best answer to win, then you vote for the best answer. but I am so happy for Joey and Jenna. Their partnership was like it kind of made me jealous.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Like I wished I had had like, I mean, Louie and I had a great relationship and still stay in touch every so often. Oh, I was wondering if you guys did. I love that. Yeah. I mean, I was in Utah a couple years, last year, a couple years ago, reached out to him. He's doing great. has a couple kids now which is awesome
Starting point is 00:28:28 oh that's nice but anyway yeah I feel a little like I felt kind of like jealous like oh I love their partnership I just love their friendship you know you you know that it's authentic
Starting point is 00:28:42 it's real like they truly enjoy each other's company right I feel that way about Alona and and her partner too like they they really seem like they are like this friendship is going to last a lifetime you know and I think I agree with you too.
Starting point is 00:28:57 I think, like Joey, I do love the way that Joey was able to keep Kelsey involved week after week and then to have Val, you know, come out and present them the trophy, which is super cool, you know. I know. I just, I thought that was awesome. It's a nice, I think it's a nice way to turn the chapter on this show in a way that, like, you know, our first, well, like you said, too. I mean, I was thinking about this when you were saying this, but like for Chandler and
Starting point is 00:29:23 Brendan to be the first black couple that I would think there'd be a lot of pressure you know like I mean I feel like you're carrying this this extra burden not burden I guess but extra responsibility
Starting point is 00:29:36 into this you know highly televised event and feeling pressure and everyone knows you're the best answer out there and you know but people don't know you from your your career necessarily and then to have that additional thing I think Joey kind of carried a little bit of that too because not not the same obviously not with the
Starting point is 00:29:53 same, you know, stakes, obviously. But for Joey to be, you know, kind of bantered about as a first person from the bachelor, first guy from the bachelor to win this thing. I'm not saying those two things are even remotely similar in scale. But for him to have that pressure, too, like, because I mean, we've been calling for it, you know, for, it's forever, you know. And so it's like he's, and for him to go all the way and do it. I mean, man, that says the bar pretty high now, considering the fact that this thing is kind of almost like if you're a relatively popular you know bachelor or bachelor at you're probably going to end up on dancing with the stars I would think that that adds a little bit of extra stakes to anybody who's being asked to be the
Starting point is 00:30:34 next bachelor they got to think about it like how am I going to do yeah right and dancing no no I don't think they should don't think about that at all that's that's when you don't get asked you know what I mean right right but I do think it's interesting that there have been so many bachelors, like, let's see, crystals, Sean Lowe, Nick Vile, Jake, um, a grocery store Joe, that's five. I, I'm probably missing somebody. Yeah. But I feel like there have been, there have been three winners who are bacheloretts, Hannah, Melissa Reicroft, and Caitlin. And then you didn't have, you know, anybody out of the six bachelors who had been on until Joey. So I think, it's awesome. I am just, I'm so, I'm so excited for them. I'm so excited. I'm hoping that he's on
Starting point is 00:31:25 tour in Denver and that I can see him in person doing his doing his thing on stage. Do you think he'll do the tour? Did they say he's going to do the tour or no? Yeah, they did. They pulled all, all five finalists out and Stevens hosting it. And then, and then it was Alona Chandler and Joey are going to be um uh not in every single city yeah but they are going to be there and so is um who my oh and danny i feel like danny's going to be there too i feel like they're all going to be there but just not in every city my boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now i'm seriously suspicious oh wait a minute sam maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit well dakota it's back to school week on the okay story time podcast so we'll
Starting point is 00:32:17 find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now hold up, isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor and they're the same age. It's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up,
Starting point is 00:33:46 but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. On 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get
Starting point is 00:34:08 when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder take center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Hola, it's Honey German, and my podcast, Grazacus Come Again, is back. This season, we're going even deeper into the world of music and entertainment, with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition? No, I didn't audition.
Starting point is 00:34:41 I haven't auditioned in, like, over 25 years. Oh, wow. That's a real G-Tor. right there. Oh, yeah. We've got some of the biggest actors, musicians, content creators, and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success. You were destined to be a start.
Starting point is 00:34:59 We talk all about what's viral and trending with a little bit of chisement, a lot of laughs, and those amazing vivras you've come to expect. And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity, struggles, and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewax? because you have to do the code switching? I won't say whitewash because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:35:20 But the whole pretending and code, you know, it takes a toll on you. Listen to the new season of Grasas Has Come Again as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. 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 coldness. cases. But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now
Starting point is 00:35:52 in 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, gotcha. On America's crime lab, we'll learn about victims and survive. And you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Othrum, the Houston Lab that takes on the most hopeless cases to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I think that top three was pretty spectacular. I mean, very, you know, I mean, man, it's interesting. I mean, top five was spectacular.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Top five. I'm so glad that they did top five to think that we couldn't we wouldn't have seen Stephen and Riley in the finale. You know, or even I think Alona would have been the fourth and to have missed her. Like she ended up being second overall. So, you know, I'm so thankful that they did top five because it changed. It completely, you know, changed for Alona. And she went, she rose to the top.
Starting point is 00:37:14 So I'm so thankful that we got to do this this season. It was so much fun. This has been a lot of fun. I love your insight because not only have you done the show, you've done dancing with the stars, but you are still in the dance community. And I think you bring a totally different wrinkle to it because you understand what these dancers are going through from a pressure perspective as well as, you know, especially from the celebrity component.
Starting point is 00:37:41 I mean a little bit. Yeah. I didn't, I did not, I didn't live in L.A. when I was practicing. Louis would literally fly in on his own dime, by the way, to Colorado or drive to Colorado. He would stay. I don't think they even paid for his hotel rooms. I'm not even kidding because they had no budget back then. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I booked us at, or no, I didn't. I think the producers did book us at like a gym, like a hotel or a ballroom. and we practiced, like, I don't even think we had mirrors. I don't know. That's tough. It was, there was one time we were at a gym, and we did have a room, but it had a pole right in the middle of the room. So you had to, like, make sure that part of the dance wasn't like a, not like a stripper pole. I was a construction pool?
Starting point is 00:38:39 Okay, okay, I get it. I get it. Sorry. Like something that they needed to stabilize the building. So, yeah, it wasn't like, and we didn't practice every day of the week for hours and hours and hours on end. Like he would come in, we would practice for, you know, a few hours and maybe the next day and then he would go. It was like a weekend thing. So I, we did not have even close to the amount of practices that are rehearsals that they are.
Starting point is 00:39:11 having now, and the stress was a lot less. So in wrapping up, thanks for making this so fun. You too. I'm so thankful that almost famous. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to recap it because it really brought me back to Dancing with the Stars. And, you know, I've been watching here and there over the years and keeping up with it, but not like watching every episode. And this gave me an excuse to get back to it. So thank you so much. I loved it. Yeah, right? You know, Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll get Joey. I mean, you know, Joey and Jen, this would be your stop, your press stop.
Starting point is 00:39:47 You know, we'd love to talk to you both. Yeah. We hope we can. But yeah, this has been a lot of fun, Trista. I always love talking with you. And I'm excited that the holidays are right around the corner. And then we'll be getting right into your show coming up in the new year. So I'm very excited to get after that special forces on a weekly basis and really kind of dig into that too.
Starting point is 00:40:06 So it's going to be a good time. Good time, sister. Yeah. I like it. Good times. Awesome. Okay. Thank you guys for listening and catch us. I guess now that this is over, maybe we'll start getting back to our OG bachelor people. So yeah, tune in, tune into that, hopefully coming up soon. Let's have Joey and Jen on first. And then, you know,
Starting point is 00:40:27 I would love to actually have the top five. If we can get the top five finalists on the show, I would love to do that. So yeah. Yeah. Anyway, and maybe even Tori Spelling, I don't know, a few, a few people. Oh my gosh, I have to say one more thing. So if you were watching, I think it was Dan, who was it? I cannot remember the, the celeb who had just danced. Anna Delvey is like behind them. And she kept moving over so that she was on camera. Did you see it?
Starting point is 00:41:04 I didn't, but now I have to. I think it was Danny and Whitney. You have to go back and watch when Julian, you know, they're up on. the top and Julian's interviewing them and Anna keeps moving over and then she gets to the place where she can be seen and she stands there and there was a guy like a dancer like a fill in dancer who was standing right next to her and he hadn't moved and then he noticed that she was um he noticed that she was there and he was like oh sorry and he kind of moved over because she like totally invaded his space.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Oh my gosh. Sorry, I had to give that little snippet. I'm going to leave you with that. All right. Happy holidays. Thank you. Congratulations, Joey and Jenna. We love you.
