There you go. Nice to see you. I know. I'm so excited that we get to recap every week on our Almost Famous OG podcast for Dancing with the stars so exciting no i love it and i gotta be honest i thought last night was a pretty damn good episode it was actually i have to admit so little known fact for a lot of people listening out there if there's a lot of people listening um um i was on the first season of

dancing with the stars which i feel like not a lot of people know or just forget because it was so long ago but um i have not watched you would think that i would because I was on the show, but I really haven't watched in years. And the fact that Joey and Jen are both on the season is really exciting to me. I know Tori Spelling, and we have to have her on. I think you suggested having her own. I would love to have her on. And so I was like, you know what?

I don't have anything going on tonight. Brian was working. The kids were just cranking away on their homework. And I was like, let's watch and recap. And I'm so excited. It's giving me life. No, I actually, I haven't watched it in a few seasons either. I mean, it did kind of jump for a while over to the streaming platform, I think.

And then it came back to the platform. And, you know, I used to go all the time when I lived in L.A. I would go. And, you know, if I had friends that were on it or whatever. And it was nice, you know, it was a nice experience. But I will say, watching the show last night, I love Tori. It was great to see her on there.

And I don't know Jen. And I don't even know that I met Joey personally. But I have to say, the two of them, they looked pretty damn good. I mean, I thought, yeah, I thought that Chandler, okay, I mean, I know we'll get into it. But I thought Joey and Jen both looked great, danced very well, handled themselves well. I mean, it was impressive. It was a cool night. I actually love their partnerships.

I love Joey and Jenna. I love Jenna. Watched her so you think you can dance before dancing with the stars happen. Love her. And I think her partnership, I think Carrie Ann said, I really love the two of you, like together. I think they have such a great partnership. And then, yeah, Jen and Sasha are adorable too.

So I feel like casting did a really good job of casting them. I will say, like, you know, we could sit here and judge them. We're not going to judge them. We're just going to say we really enjoyed. But I want to get into some juicy stuff. So I noted, and I'm sure you probably did too, that in the audience were Susie and, oh my gosh, Justin, thank you. I was like, I know it's a J word. What's the J word?

Justin and Susie were in the audience together and literally I think they were on this podcast with Ben at least Ben and Ashley talking about how they just broke up maybe separately or and I know they made a public announcement like that was like wait am I seeing what I'm seeing? Are those two are those two together? So okay

now to be fair we did just do a podcast with my ex-wife so it doesn't mean because you split up that you can't you know, you can't, you just it. Like you, you both are now happily married, you know, you both have kids. Like that was a long time ago and you guys have had time. But they literally, I want to say within, it's been weeks. Like we could say weeks.

Maybe it's like six weeks. I don't know. But it's been weak since they broke up, not years. No, I know. I was just out in, you know, Northern California with Justin. And I know he was going through it at that time. And you're right. I mean, it is fresh.

could it have been they accepted the invitation before they broke up and they decided let's go to be civil or could it have been you know that they're maybe they I don't know maybe they're giving another try I mean I don't know I don't know what to say but you're right I did see them at the table together I saw Jason Tartick there uh support of his buddy Joey I was teasing saying I made a facts comment an old school facts comment I'm like man Jason's at the opening of everything lately, you know, like the opening of an envelope, and Hanna writes back, that's so facts. Which, by the way, I have never heard that expression, but I am going to use it. You have it? No.

Oh, yes. My daughter says it all the time. That's so fast. She'll just say, she'll literally just say fax. That's it. And sometimes I'm like, what did you just say? Oh, yes. Oh, the whole, actually, I just heard someone lecture about, like, trying to communicate with kids. and the whole like rundown he went through like this whole thing about using terms that they use now like it is hysterical we are so old i am so old bob um anyway so okay so yes facts jason also did say that his agency represents four people from that are actually on the show so i think he was he was there supporting joey of course they're really close but I think also he was just there professionally for his agency.

I actually think that he's got a couple of the pros. Like maybe Jenna. Oh, okay. And Daniela maybe. I don't know. But okay, so a big one, I feel like, was Jonathan, who just was on Jen season of Bachelorette. Jen sent Jonathan home.

Like pretty late, maybe like fantasy sweets. but they were there together or she was there supporting her and they have done I follow her on Instagram. Did they just see a video or something like that? Yeah. There was a video that you know maybe they're together

I don't know I don't they haven't done a soft or a hard launch yet but I'm wondering since he was there supporting her if they're together. I don't know I don't know it could be crazy you know I mean at the end of the day it's so funny because

you know, I mean, the Dancing with the Stars thing is so fun and it's like, you know, it's just go out there and have a great time. I mean, the fact that they had Eric Roberts in the cast, like, I mean, that's insane to me. I know. I know. I kind of felt bad for him. Like he said he had a car accident and, you know, his right side is a little bit later than his left side or something like that. Well, you could tell he wasn't moving very well, you know, like I'm sure he wanted to do this a long time ago he said and i just think it's cool yeah that's crazy i think it's amazing i i'm like proud of him for getting out there and showing people that you can still have fun and dance even if you do have you know physical um limitations or whatever limitations

It's perfect for it. Yeah. How serious is youth vaping? Irreversible lung damage serious. One in ten kids vape serious, which warrants a serious conversation from a serious parental figure, like yourself.

We feel sometimes like we're leaving a part of us behind when we enter a new space, but we're just building. On a recent episode of Culture Raises Us, I was joined by Valicia Butterfield, media founder, political strategist, and tech powerhouse for a powerful conversation on storytelling,

impact, and the intersections of culture and leadership. I am a free black woman who worked really hard to be able to say that. I'd love for you to break down. Why was so important for you to do, see you? You can't win as something you do. and create. From the Obama White House to Google to the Grammys, Malicia's journey is a masterclass in shifting culture and using your voice to spark change. A very fake, capital-driven environment and society will have a lot of people tell half-truths. I'm telling you, I'm on the energy

committee. Like, if the energy is not right, we're not doing it, whatever that it is. Listen to Culture raises us on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We are telling our scientists today, We have disdain for your expertise. And then you have China as an exception saying, actually, we're going to invest a trillion dollars in new science. Yeah, you heard that right. While the U.S. is cutting billions from science and public health,

China is making historic investments. That means here in the U.S., fewer breakthroughs, slower medical advances, and a serious risk of falling behind globally. I don't think anything about that is efficient. I think that it is actually profoundly inefficient. And she would know. Chelsea Clinton is using her expertise in public health to break down what these cuts really mean and why protecting science isn't just smart policy.

It's a necessity. This week on Dope Labs, we're putting it all under the microscope with Chelsea Clinton, diving into what's at stake for science, medicine, and our future. Listen to Dope Labs on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency, and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.

Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, pull that, turn this. It's just... I can do my eyes close.

I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devon. And on our new show, no such thing. We get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then, as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what?

Oh, that's the run right. I'm looking at this thing. Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh my gosh, Dwight Howard and Daniela, the difference in height. That was really cute. She looks like a little Polly Pocket next to him. I mean, well, I mean, I'm 6'3, and I'd look like a Polly Pocket next to him, too. He's a beast.

Totally. But I do think it's funny that, you know, here we're talking about the great casting that they did and how they partnered the pros, and then they throw the tallest guy with the shortest pro. She's like five, two and a half or something like that. I know. And I'm sure that was on purpose. But that's challenging. That has to be so challenging for her because, you know, he's obviously, you know, athletic and can do all these great things.

But to dance with someone and be, like, he's got to be bent over. She's got to be, you know, fully extended. I mean, that can't be easy. Not easy. Especially in like the waltz and stuff where he's going to have to keep frame. Like, how do you keep frame like that with someone who's literally like two feet smaller than you? Honestly, could you imagine? if they do the whole dance with him carrying her?

Oh, my God, yes. Like, I was thinking about that last night when he did it. I'm like, man, if they do that dance, I wasn't, I didn't know it was the waltz. If they do that dance where their, like, their arms are, you know, locked. How funny. That is genius. I hope that they do. She probably weighs 90 pounds at most, you know.

Oh, he could pull her across the room. She's so tiny. I mean, how funny. Oh, my gosh. That is classic. I want to see that. I want to see that. I hope that someone tells them if she doesn't already have an idea,

she needs to do that, like, just they're connected for sure. Or she's on like a moving platform or something to wear like. Her feet, like it's rolling. He's like pulling it around. Yeah, that would be really funny. I just, you know, it's funny because it's like I, you know, the couple times that I had talked to people at Dancing with the Stars and I was always like, I was up for it.

But, like, I just never got the final call, you know. Yeah. And I always think about it how, and by saying I was up for it, I mean, I was, I personally was up for it. Like, I was like, I want to do it, you know? Yeah, totally. It was mostly because I just, I think in my head. And I, and I remember us talking about this once before, I think I'm a super good dancer. Like, in my mind, I am just like, you know, I got the rhythm in me.

And then I see these people on this show and I'm like, oh, I could never do that. That, oh, wouldn't be able to do that one. You know, and it's like, I mean, by the time I'm watching the whole season, I'm like, okay, maybe I should not ever have even thought about going on that show because, but Joey looked like he knew what he was doing. And so did Jen, so did Jen. I actually feel like it really depends on your coach, like a lot of it. I feel like, obviously a lot of it is the, the celebrity and their experience and their personality and their. acting skills and all of that. But I feel like your pro can make it or break it for you.

Yeah. And I think that Jenna is such a good partner for him. Well, let's make a prediction. Okay. So we both watched the show last night. We were texting throughout. And, I mean, I got to be honest. If I was basing it off a first night only, I would say that Chandler is the

mirror ball show. she was remarkable and super cute and funny and just excited to be there I loved you know I thought of you a lot during the show because I heard the word gratitude like 10 times last night and I was like that's cherished his thing that's that's your thing and it's like this trista's you know mantra is that's all about gratitude and I love you for that because I think it's yeah my bracelet grateful but I mean that is that is you and I love you for that and I think it's such a beautiful, you know, extension of your personality and how you try to find the way to be grateful for things. And I heard that word a lot last night being thrown

around and I was like, I love that that's the thought process here. Not that, you know, they're lucky to have me or I belong on this show or whatever. It's like, I'm just grateful to be here, you know? Yeah. But yeah, I would say if you had to predict who you think's going to win. Yeah. After last night's episode and you are, you were a competitive dancer for a long, period of your life. Yeah. So your opinion matters here. Who would you think? Well, really not, really not because you really, really never know. I mean, you really never know. Well, that's true. The fan vote, the fan vote's going a lot. That's true. The fan vote is huge. Like, a lot of it is due to popularity, I feel like, and you're pro. Yeah, that's changed a lot since that first year.

So the first, like, two or three years, I think it was based more so on, and I remember them talking about this at one episode I was at. when Tom Bergeron was still the host and they were talking about how it used to be weighted heavier on the judge's votes and then they realized that a lot of their really popular people

were going home in the first week or two and so they changed it to be weighted heavier to the popular vote versus the judge vote. Yeah. So that is a huge factor. Also a huge factor is you're pro. Honestly,

I feel like because this show has been around for so long, there is so much popularity for the different pros. So if you, if you, like Ezra, for example, he's the one with Amadelvey and, I think that's their name. Um, he's, you know, he's new from the troop this year. And so he might not have a high, as high of a popularity as bow, you know, say. So I think that that is a huge, of it. Based on that as well, I thought Fadra did awesome. I think her personality is awesome. I love Val, and I think he has a very strong fan base. So I feel like Fadra's going to go far. I feel like Joey. I actually feel like Joey is going to go really far. He is

so popular in Bachelination, and I feel like they really come up to vote for this show with Hannah winning and Caitlin winning and charity coming really close. Like, I feel like Bachelor nation really kind of rallies around our people. And so I, I think that Joey, based on popularity, Joey will last longer than Jen. I don't think that I think that they're both great. And I think that they both have incredible personalities. They did amazing on the first night. But I really feel like Joey will last longer.

I feel like Joey will be in the finale. Whether or not he wins, that's, you know, still up for grabs. But I think he's so popular. You know who else is really popular right now is the male gymnast. And I thought he did amazing. Yeah, he did agree. And his glasses off and she is really popular right now too, his pro.

So I feel like don't count them out. What about Danny Amandola and Whitney Carson? Oh, Danny Amadola and Whitney has a huge fan base. Yeah. I love her. So Danny for sure. He's got the, you know, like in football. stars tend to last really long.

They really do. That's true. So many of them have won it over the years too. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. So I, you're thinking Joey goes farther than Jen, just based off of his popularity. I would say, I would say I think you're probably right. But also because, I don't know. I mean, I think they both, they're both adorable. I mean, Jen is adorable. She's so sweet. And then Joey, is just like just happy to be there. And I love that as a relationship's going strong and all that good

stuff. I mean, you know, that's that that's one of those things too. I think you come off in a, in a relationship that people like and they like to see that to be successful. That helps you become more successful, you know, from that too. And so from that perspective, people who like them as a couple, you know, you know, might vote for them. But Jen might get some votes too because she was, you know, she was kind of left holding the bag at the end there and the guy that she so you know that's the jilted the jilted uh bachelorette could help her chances as well for bachelination to vote for her so you're right there's a lot going on there and not even just jilted but i think female like women empowerment like yeah she she's been talking about how she doesn't need a man which is

funny because i feel like jonathan was there to support her last night so maybe they're dating but she's kind of like talking about in interviews and stuff about how she's really loving being independent right now and she just wants to like, you know, focus on herself and give her some more me time. Yeah, yeah. And after what happened, you know, so I think that people rally around that as well. Like Hannah Brown is a perfect example of that after she got kind of jilted

and like what she said on the show. So I feel like people rally around female. empowerment, which I love. Yeah, I love that too. I love that too. And everybody kind of picks them up. You know, like that just makes me happy to see that. So, you know, from that perspective, I hope that she goes really far too, because I'm sure she could use a little confidence boost right now. And, you know, people, people think, oh, well, they're on TV, they're fine. But what they don't understand is when you go through something like that and it's so public and you're getting so much feedback, you're always going to have those people.

And we've talked about this on the show more than once, but you're always going to have those people that are supportive and then you're going to have those few people that that's how they get their rocks off as saying mean things. And that stuff sometimes sticks with you longer than all the nice stuff. Right. And so I'm sure she's seen some of that too. And so, you know, my hope is that that she is able to get really motivated from this whole thing and realize people love her and, you know, want her to do well. I mean, I've never met her and I'm like sitting there last night. Like, yeah, it was awesome. You know, like I felt like I knew her. You know, with Joey. And I was like, you know, and again, though, I love her. I love her. And I love her. I'm like, you know, and again, though, I love

seeing Tori Spelling out there. You talk about who could have a rougher year than Tori has been having with all that's going on in her personal life. And it's like, and she comes through it and she knows she's not necessarily a great dancer, but she's going to give it her all and really try to have fun with it. And I think that's something about Tori I've always loved is that she really throws herself into things. And I was happy to see that for her too. I love it. Her enthusiasm is contagious. I really do love that. And the rugby player, Alana, I think is her name. Yes. That was awesome too. Her enthusiasm. I think she'll last long too just because of that. She's just so happy to be there and as opposed to like Anna Delvey who seemed like she's, I don't know,

it seemed like she was being not forced to be there, but she did not seem very excited to be there. Yeah, you know, it's funny the portrayal of her in the series. Did you watch the series? I watched like a couple of them and then stopped. So I watched it because my buddy was in it and so I wanted to see him. Oh, no way. Yeah, my buddy Richie was in it. But it was funny because people kind of almost, I wouldn't say made fun of. They either applauded or they made fun of the way that the actress in the show portrayed her

with this sort of like this sort of tone about her, which kind of gave you this impression she didn't give a damn about anything, you know. And it was kind of funny because I think that. that's just her tone. Like, I think last night she probably was really excited to be there and she was excited to be back in the States and all that kind of stuff that they were talking about. But I'm sure it was a little bit of her tone just makes her. And Canyon, my wife, it's so funny.

So Canyon's always like, why is it that you can walk up to someone and say a horrible thing and they give you a hug? And I walk up and say, oh, you look pretty today. And they'll be like, oh, my God, bitch. You know, and she's like, well, because you walk up and you're like, oh, you look pretty. Like, I'd make fun of her voice because her voice. is kind of husky and I just think it's funny that but her tone it's just her tone you know

and I'm always like are you mad at me or something she's like no why I'm like well you just sound so angry I swear that's not how she really sounds I know I exaggerate but I think that that was kind of that lady's thing like her tone is just awful you're right it seems like it you're right Have you ever wished for a change but weren't sure how to make it?

And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run right. I'm looking at this thing. Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I have an interesting little behind the scenes thing that popped up in my memory today or yesterday when watching it. And that was, you know, everyone gets there and they have their song.

Oh, I picked out this song as my anthem. And like Joey's song, the fact that he lived in Nashville, I'm like, why is that his anthem? And it struck me, we were always given. I think maybe the pros. And I don't, it's obviously, I'm sure changed. um but maybe it hasn't it's been a long time i think i was on 2003 or four um so it's been probably 20 years and they would give us our songs like you don't i think you could put in requests but the getting around like the the copyright stuff like if someone doesn't want

their song on television or you know whatever there's a lot of that like you can't use a lot of songs because either studios or the artists, recording artists have a problem with it. So I thought it was really interesting the songs. And I think that also plays a part in how long you last because if you get a good dance and a good song that vibe with your personality, then people can see that and they want to vote for you

because they think that you're having fun and enjoying yourself. And like Melissa Radcroft was on and on Dancing with the Stars, of course. And I saw her post last night, and she posted this video of her tango with Tony on the, I think it was the All-Star season. And I was like, you know, I feel like people, like think of me as kind of like a bubbly, you know, like happy go lucky person.

And for the most part, I am. But I also love the, like, serious stuff. Like, I would have loved to do a tango. something like that instead of the rumba was serious but it was like really like sensual and sexual and i was like i just got married like a couple years ago i don't feel like you so i feel like your song choice and the song or the dance that they that they give to you also play a huge part and i don't know that you actually get to choose that will you remind me What was Joey's song?

Joey was some country song. I can't think of it right now to save my life. I can't either, but I don't know. Yeah, but it was a good one. It's a good song. It's just like, I don't know, like, I mean, I don't know Joey that well to know what song he would have picked if he had a choice. I just felt like it was funny, like, oh, I moved to Nashville.

Like, no one, I feel like no one knows that about. him. I don't know. He's from Hawaii. The tennis player, like he just got engaged, like maybe something like that. I don't know. Sure. Sure. You know. Something like, yeah, something like a Hawaiian just got engaged tennis player song. I like that. Yeah. Exactly. Put that into Google. We'll pick out his music for next week. Google. What is the song that's all about tennis and Hawaii? Wouldn't it be hilarious if it pulls up a song and it's like, you know, it's love. It love to 15. What? Okay. I don't understand tennis either.

That's true. Like something about tennis like that. How funny would that be? That would be sick. Maybe we write it. We'll have to write it on our show and send it to him. Oh, yeah. No, I won't be doing that. Ryan is it songwriter, as you know. Yes, of course. He's a poet. One song. So my son, I need to tell you this story, my son, Grayson, two interesting little factoids, recently was walking around the house and he's like, you know,

call me when you want call me when you need call me in the morning call me when you want and I was like oh okay well that's cool and uh and so I'd never heard this song and so he would be like singing like a verse but he'd keep coming back to the chorus and I'm like oh my god you know and my history with music I'm like I don't know did it like the apple not fall far from the tree like he's writing songs right the remarkable thing so my canyon takes a picture a video of him and sends it out to her family. And her brother is in London. And everyone's like, oh my gosh, you know, he keeps coming back to this chorus. That's kind of cool. Her dad's musical as well. And we're thinking we got a savant on our hands. Like, oh, my gosh, he's writing these hits. And then all of a sudden, her brother

writes back and he's like, you guys think he wrote this? And we're like, yeah, I'm like, no, I know that song. I've never heard this. And he goes, it's only got 1.9 billion views. It's little Naz-X. And it's like, there's a lot of other language in there. that isn't so great. And I'm like, then I'm like, where did he hear this thing? Like I don't, I'm never, where would he hear it, you know? Oh, dude. Apparently, he heard it on the school bus.

Someone's playing it on the room. Yeah, because he's a kindergartner, but there's like up to fifth graders on the bus. And apparently, you know, a fifth grader was playing it on the bus. And so he's in his head. So there's that. And then the other thing I was going to tell you that he said to me yesterday when I said, hey, buddy, good night. I love you.

Mom, he's going to put you to sleep. I've got to go watch the. dancing with the stars. And he goes, okay, okay. Well, my name is Grace and Robert Gini and I approve this message. And I go, what? And my wife would I start laughing. He's like, I approve this message. I'm like, okay, all right, good stuff. So yeah, so I had those two things to share with you today. So that right there is an example of they listen to everything yeah right everything yep i know it's so hard to navigate all of that stuff when they're little um man thankfully i mean we didn't get out of it unscathed but um but my kids are are pretty good

so um thanks i'd say so too much about it i would say so you did a very good job there mommy yeah oh thanks um i love that he's like and i approve this message i wonder um i wonder if he if it's on in the background and he always hears the ads or if they pop up on his like tablet or something. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, yeah, who knows? I mean, we don't allow YouTube on his on his little iPad when he's playing his games. We don't allow YouTube on there because there was a period of time where some other stuff was coming out of his mouth and we're like, and delete the app. Yeah, totally. YouTube is not the greatest. No, it's terrible. And it was YouTube kids too. And it was like some weird stuff would

sneak on there, you know. So, all right. Well, I know you've got to go so we got our predictions in um you know i like that uh who you think lasts longer eric roberts or the dad from uh the dad from family matters yeah family matters well two people actually get um sent home next week yeah i'm i'm thinking it might be both of them yeah because this is particularly young and uh pretty decent dancing cast so yeah i would guess if i if either one of them stay in it is because, you know, people really warm up to their message and and like them and vote for them. So make sure you're voting. Just, it's the, it's the, it's the voting. Yeah, there you go. Go, vote. All right, awesome. Thanks guys for listening to the
