You performed at Super Bowl 53 when the Rams play the Patriots. What made your job harder to keep people engaged? The score being 3 to 0 at halftime or Maroon 5 doing the worst halftime show I've ever seen. Tosh Show. Tosh Show for show. Ready? Okay. Welcome to Tosh Show.

I hope everyone had a great week. I'm in a wonderful mood I just got back from doing some shows on the road with Eddie and Pete Hey you guys want to hear what Eddie does now at dinner Yes

He might not want me to share this night But he likes to start each meal When he asks everybody to hold hands And then once everyone hold hands Eddie tell them what you start saying I invite the devil into my body I invite the devil into my body He starts chanting

I invite the devil into my body Now, I don't know about you, but I don't care what party you're, if everybody started holding hands and then the person started to scream, I invite the devil into my body. I'm going to laugh. Yes. That's hysterical. Yes. Other people are going to pull their hands away. People are going to yank their hands away.

They don't want the devil. No. I don't care what you believe in. You're not, even if, even if you don't believe in anything, somebody started screaming, I invite the devil in my body. You're going to, you're going to be like, I don't want to hold hands anymore. It's okay. I had a big lunch. I'm going to leave.

That's dangerous. Oh, that's funny. I'm going to start doing it too. Yeah, too. Everybody should start doing it. I think we all start doing it. Anytime we're at a dinner party or if you're ever in a situation where people start holding hands, just start chanting, I invite the devil into my body. Oh, that's really good.

Try to film it and send it to us. The only time I'm ever holding hands in a circle is at a paddle out mourning the loss of somebody's death. and that seems like a wildly inappropriate time to chant that really funny though it is funny those idiots will fucking believe it my father-in-law so he's been staying with us for a while and i have a table that i'm getting rid of here's the problem this podcast i was so excited with my idea of giving away my own shit well it's bit me because now i have stuff that i would normally just get rid of within five seconds and I'm like oh wait I got to save this for a guest so now stuff is piling up it's it's it's actually becoming a problem anyway I have this table that I'm

getting rid of I have to find the perfect guest for it but in the meantime it's living in my front yard next to the air stream okay and a lot of times when Amazon comes into my driveway they'll just set some boxes on the table well when my father-in-law came to visit the other day he sees this table and it has a box on it and he's like he just was like this he just like kind of looked at his daughter and looked at me and goes man you know you've made it when you've got a table for your amazon packages what's going on i'm like that's not i didn't put out a table just for my amazon package you maniac oh it just made me laugh i mean in his defense if that's what you did put that table out that for you have made it i mean i've seen people that build things for amazon like a little

a little slide over their gate uh for boxes and it goes into kind of a locked compartment so that no one can just grab their packages but he just thought wow you guys are fancy put it out you got a nice little dining room table out here just to hold your packages for the few minutes that they sit unattended went outside table shopping so good yeah he's he's always good for a line or two he's always good for a line or two you know what he said to me the other day he says uh we were talking about some old football player probably Aaron Rogers and he just goes mother time is undefeated and I just stopped in my tracks

mother time is undefeated and I go what did you fucking say he goes he goes that didn't sound right what I do what I do wrong and I go what did you mother time is undefeated father time mother time you say mother time's undefeated I'm like oh brother mother time the good news is I'm not going to have to take care of him much longer pretty soon it's going to require

professionals. Hey, speaking of Amazon and packages, our store, I don't know if people know, but we have a new store, toss show store.com. We hired a new company

to give us new merch because we listen to our few fans. And they said, hey, this last merch store that you guys have sucked, We'd order stuff, and it would take weeks and months before we got our t-shirt. So we got rid of them.

We fired them. Then we said, hey, new company, do better. They said, no problem. And, you know, we don't have a lot of stuff on there. But if you want a mug that says, get this off my desk or a Carl's shirt or something that says, Tos show. Do you believe in ghosts? We got it.

We got a shirt that says, do you believe in ghost? Mm-hmm. Hey, that's my line. It's your line. That's the first question I ask. well now you can get that at our new merch store that's going to make everybody happy especially this time of year i love to spend money yeah what's your favorite cheer from a cheerleader eddie for me that's a u g l-y you ain't got no alibi you ugly yeah yeah you ugly

m a m a we know how you got that way your mama yeah yeah your mama that's a good one your mama know you ugly hey i like the cookie the cookie monster The cookie monster says that the eagles are The great big cookies at the top of the jar The cookie monster says that the terriers are The itty beady crumbs at the bottom of the jar Woo! That makes it as much.

I like that one. Let me see, do you do the chicken? I like that one. Let me see you do the chicken. What's that you say? I said, let me see you do the chicken. What's that you say? I said, let me see you do the chicken.

What's that you say, uh, ooh. I, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you don't know that one. You don't know that one? No. Then we'd be like, let me see you do the peewee, and then you do the peewee dance. But then back when I was in high school, peewee got popped for jerking off, so then people started going like this. It just meant something different. That was funny. That was funny.

We've got spirit. Yes, we do. We've got spirit. How about you? You go back and forth, which team cheers louder? I love cheerleaders. I dated a cheerleader, Jessica in high school. Oh, man, my first love.

Really? That's my first, well, the first person I ever officially said, I love you. you love jessica i said i love you jessica you say back she didn't oh no i think she was in love with eric ah no no she said it back of course she said it back we're in love you guys were in love her mom didn't love me oh yeah her mom did not want her to date me she said her mom i don't know why her mom didn't like me i mean i i i can guess what do you think it was i think she thought that i was like like uh too controlling it's high school right where would you get that i think she might have thought like like i that i was trying to like lock you you know what it is i mean i don't know why

her mom didn't like me but i it probably was because she was like oh you need to you need to experience life don't just settle down but it's not like we were engaged or anywhere's boyfriend and girlfriend for for you know a year or so you're a lot of you're a little bit of year yeah my my sister's still friends with jessica they talk occasionally uh or maybe more than that i i don't know yeah yeah you know because when you date somebody and you're in love then they become friends with your siblings and then when you guys break up it's like your siblings are well we're friends with them yeah but not all of the people that i've been in love with have my sisters uh shared a mutual bond with for instance i remember uh dating one uh uh girl and my sister immediately after meeting her came up to me

and says i'm just going to say this one time i i don't think you should be dating her wow like a real heart to heart geez yeah after one just one get together well one one one thanksgiving together and i say why was it was it because during uh thanksgiving dinner she forced you guys to bring a TV into the dining room so she could watch the Green Bay Packers? Because that's why I love her. I'm not mad at her

for making a stand. Go get a TV. That's too funny. The point is, I've loved cheerleaders for a long time. And today's guest is no exception. Showing. Enjoy.

We had a super late rehearsal one night, and I looked.

There was like an upstairs loft area, and I looked upstairs. You went up the stairs? I just looked. I just happened to, like, glance in the mirror, and I saw this little dude in, like, a boiler hat kind of just sitting there, and I was like, oh, hell no, so I dipped after that. I was like, right. You're sure

was it goes and not an intruder? Nobody was in that studio, but me and my friends. Wild. Well, yeah, the boiler hats, what cements it for me. That's creepy. I'm not going in that studio. Do you still work at this studio ever? I have, I quit. No. You're from Rancho Cucamonga. Yeah. Do you tell people that you're from L.A.? Well, technically I was born in Pasadena, so I just say SoCal, born and race. But do you say SoCal? You're the first person I've ever met that says SoCal. I never say all over the place. I get it. You never say IE? You ever say IE from Rancho Cucca?

You don't like IE? Oh, I love the IE. I only say I with my IE friends. I'm like that I meet that are from out there. I don't think I would have ever known about Rancho Cucamonga if it wasn't for next Friday. Exactly, exactly. And that's what our neighborhood looks like, so it's kind of crazy.

Uh-huh. 16, you got in dance. You were from a talented basketball, your family, a bunch of basketball coaches? Yeah. Both? Both your parents? Or just your dad?

My dad's side. So he had, he's one of eight. So you played ball as well? Up until I was 16. And then you were like, no, I'm just going to dance. I'm going to dance. I mean, because you can do multiple things.

Not in my head, no. It was one of the other. You ever pick up. have a ball right now and just shoot or no? I actually did a couple months ago, and it felt good, but it was my own terms, and I wasn't forced. Do you play pig or horse? What's your preference? I like horse, to be honest. I was like, that's crazy. I was like, ha ha ha. I haven't heard that in forever. I was like, oh, shoot. No, yeah, I like, I mean, what do we do?

Knockout. You play 21? Oh, you do knockout? Knockout. competitive. Okay. Who's your favorite basketball team? They're not good now, but I would say trailblazers. Okay. I work with their dance team, so. By the way, is their gambling? Is there gambling? in the in the dance world because uh you know they're portland's in trouble right now their head

coach just got uh he's in prison i think yeah you might want to look into this okay talk about wearing blinders gotcha yeah well it's a big thing it's a big he yes chauncy billups uh he ended up he had a poker ring or something they were cheap they were robin this is it's mafia's involved you're gonna it's not good i love that you You have no idea what I'm talking about. Dame's back in Portland now. You're not a fan of Damian Lillard? No, good, God.

You understand. No, I do understand, and I love it. Basketball gets, my heart starts beating fast. Good for you. I was good at it, but I was like, it was trauma. What got you into dance? I've always been a natural mover, but it wasn't until season four of So You Think and Dance. It's when I got inspired and saw a dancer by the name of Twitch.

Yeah, I know Twitch. I don't know him, but. You know of them, man's a beast. And then another dancer by the name of Will Wingfield, and they were two black dudes in two different genres. One was a hip-hop dancer. One was a hip-hop dancer. One was technical, one of a ballet dancer. I saw them and was like, oh, my gosh, I think I want to try that.

The rest is literally history. Did you dance as a child, like a young child, like a five-year-old, were you like clearly a step above the rest? I didn't start dancing until I was 16. I mean, as a five-year-old, kids music's playing, and you still dance a little bit. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you have some rhythm?

rhythm and we're like, oh, there was, I, here's why I asked this, okay? My son is six years old. He's been in hip hop and break dancing for three years. He's not good. It's not good. And, you know, they have these ciphering sessions. Okay. And I'm just, it's just, you can already see it.

Uh-huh. You can see it. It's rough. And I'm like, and it's these Malibu kids. You know, you think I'd paint him as the brothers. There's a bunch of white kids in Malibu, but no, there's some diversity in this group. Okay, so that's a good thing And I like that he's into dance

I want to encourage that But man, am I ready for him to Take it to the next level And I just want to, but you're saying Maybe just let him do his own thing And or maybe it'll come in a few years Give it a couple years I'm throwing money away right now

Life lessons, yeah He's had three different teachers In the past few years Most of them are Asian And small, short men, small aging. Break dancing, though? Yeah.

I mean, that's kind of... That's their world, huh? Yeah. I mean, you're a big dude. I don't break dance. How tall are you? It's a lot of weight to dance. Oh, yeah, yeah.

You're throwing yourself around. I wasn't trying to lump it into break dancing. I'm not a dance. Eddie, you're not a dancer. There's no chance. I can keep a beat and I, you know, but... A two-step. Yes, I don't do much.

I don't do much. But I, you know what I really enjoy, though? I enjoy watching dance. the dance show that I liked so much only went like two or three seasons recently and then it was cancelled what's the one with Jennifer Lopez

World of Dance World of Dance I like watching that I like contemporary okay and you know like the past few seasons they've had like two guys dancing together for the first time

and that was a big deal but I was like I liked it but then I was like it seemed like oh shit you might want a lighter partner is what I was you like to feel stuff that's what it is

well yeah you're an emotional one When you watch a good contemporary dance, you're like, oh, fuck, this is like, I get it. Were you, you weren't a cheerleader in college, were you? Dancer. A dancer, right? Yeah.

Because there's a big deal. Cheerleading in college, I'm going to, I might be offensive, and I might say this wrong, very athletic and the routines are what they are. And then cheerleading in pro sports, just slutty and sexy. No, I disagree. I disagree. I feel like. Male cheerleaders in a college are just these big dudes that can do throws.

Yeah. And then the NFL, we're going to get the sexy guys that can just dance. Damn sexy? Well, you're a good-looking man. I appreciate it, sir. You're good-looking, man. I mean, you carry yourself off as sexy. I'm comfortable saying that.

I would say collegiate cheer is more stunt and bass and, like, tumbling pass and stuff. Whereas NFL cheer, we're just, we're a dance team. So we're more choreography-based. Most people can't do both. You're not sure that's two different skill sets. I would say before the inclusion of males, it was more focused on how you look in, like, I would say, the more sex appeal.

You still have to look good to make these teams. I mean, the job is to look good. But the talent and the caliber of dance has gone up, especially out here in L.A. Like, they used to just be the hot girls. Like, yeah, Rams, they look great. But now, like, our team is one of the strongest teams, I feel. You guys still make no money,

or is the money gone up a little bit? No, I think it depends on your organization. Okay. There's, I mean, there's people cheering for $7 because your minimum wage in your state is seven. That's not the case for California. But it is a part-time gig. So, like, I think I was making, no, 35 an hour. Like, that wasn't my, like, this was just a fun job.

Uh-huh. I mean, I don't think anybody joins a pro team to pay their rent like that. But you could run the squad to pay the rent, right? Yeah. Would you like to run the Rams, cheerleading? I would love to be behind the scenes. Uh-huh. You know what I mean?

Who's the greatest male cheerleader of all time? Me. Okay. No, there's only been two. When I joined the program, the organization, there was only two of us. Did you get hate on the field at all? Did you ever hear anything? Yeah, there was one game where the Raiders fans, but I mean, they're Raiders fans.

So, they're already... I mean, they're barely in the hell at this point. They got Tom Brady running the ship. It's crazy. It's crazy. But honestly, that was the only game that I heard craziness. But once they started, they started seeing me dance and everything, they were quiet. Are you upset?

You were Rams cheerleader. Are you upset that you had to be a cheerleader in the shitty Coliseum? No, to be honest. Versus Sofi? I did both. Oh, you did get to do SoFi. I had my first two years on the team were the last two years at Sofi, or sorry, at the Coliseum, my last two were right, that's Sofi.

And did you prefer the Coliseum over Sofi? There was something special about the Coliseum, knowing just the history, I mean, it's a freaking Coliseum. But I would say, like, the arrangements that they had for us as cheerleaders were a little different, whereas, like, SoFi, we had our own dressing room. Okay. At the college scene, we had a trailer. Do the cheerleaders have just one dressing room or do they separate you between the sexes?

The first year they tried to separate us to make everybody comfortable. But I was on teams with most of those girls prior in college and throughout the industry. So I was like, you know what? I'm fine changing with them. Like, if I need to get butt-naked, I'll go to the bathroom. It's fine. But there's something about that locker room talk that you don't want to miss out on. So the last two years, we were all just in the same dressing room.

If you had to, like, really get naked and stuff, you just. go to the restroom. That's always been my issue when people, and let's just, whatever, take North Carolina or whatever, South Carolina, whichever backwood's a fucking state that has the transgender issues about the bathrooms. I always was shocked by that because I'm like, I can't go to the bathroom in a private stall if another person is next to me anyway. Who are these people that care so much about who's in the bathroom? Meanwhile, I'm always having to bring my kid in. It's just. That's a lot. I just don't, I don't get any of it.

None of it makes, okay, I want to get back to, uh, I thought it was just me, though, the whole stall situation. I don't know, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, if I see your shoes, I'm judging you. I'm throwing out, like, oh, don't even get me started on smells. That's, but you know what, all this, that's real though. I don't throw, I don't put down, uh, a seat ring. That's nasty. I don't, I just sit. That's nasty.

I sit bare ass. I do. I do. I don't care. That part of it, I'm, I'm overweight. What do you mean? You don't care. I don't care. As long as there's not pee on the toilet seat, I just sit down.

Okay. Okay? I'm going to take a shower later anyway. I'll put my ass on anything. You can fucking put that on T-shirt. Or what's your least favorite NFL cheerleading squad? The Steelers and the Bills because they don't have them. Bills, Bears, Browns, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and Chargers.

How come the L.A. Chargers don't have cheerleaders? Nobody knows. Once COVID hit, they just kind of got rid of them. Like, even, I mean, I had friends on the team, and they were just told via Zoom, like, hey, you're going to audition this day and then audition never happened. So it's crazy because, I mean, they're in the same stadium as SO-Fi, so why wouldn't they have? Makes no sense. Yeah. You performed a Super Bowl 53 when the Rams played the Patriots.

What made your job harder to keep people engaged? The score being three to zero at halftime or Maroon 5 doing the worst halftime show I've ever seen? It was. That was such a boring game. It was 13. to three was the final score. Tom Brady, the greatest of all time, had a pass a rating of 71. Which is wild. Yeah, it's garbage. Like, pieceish. Nah, such a, it's such a boring game. And there's nothing worse than getting,

because you're told to be professional, stand there look good, get the crowd ready. And when the Patriots confetti started raining down, there's no worse feeling than having to smile in that nonsense. Have you ever affected a game by one of your dance routines where it was like that is what got the crowd. Absolutely. Multiple. Are you allowed to have sex with the players? Um.

I can say that when I was on the team, there was no fraternization policy. Mm-hmm. I mean, because we're around everybody so much. Okay. Promotions and. So just anyone, you just can't. I never get that rule. That's crazy.

I mean, I wouldn't say yes. But, I mean, there was no policy. But you weren't supposed to. When did you come out to your parents? A technically 18 Uh-huh There's no way they didn't know In my younger years

Oh yeah Yeah yeah Did they say as much Do they say oh of course we knew That's kind of a combination to things I was Disrespectful online And my mom had saw the post

That I posted about her Like calling her out of her name Very disrespectful Very just young child Just ignorant and mad That I have to do dishes Or something crazy You went after her for that

I was mad I thought you're mad at her for not accepting your lifestyle No she's like I don't really care But do you want to call me a bitch I'll tell you what a bitch is. Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Never again, never again. Sure. Love you, Mom. But no, I got, actually, I got caught watching things you're not supposed to be watching in high school. Oh. And I was like, there's no way you didn't put two and two together. Were they supportive or they weren't supportive? Oh, you mean gay?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, they're supportive. It came with a lot of shock just because of the whole what I was talking about online and calling her out of her name. So I took it at the time, like, you don't support me. In reality, she doesn't. give a fuck. She's just like, I'm just, I love my son, but you don't call me out of my name. Yeah. So it was, I was tied into that. But no, my parents are super supportive. I was just talking to my mom the other day about a date that I went on last weekend. So it's cool.

Oh, how many dates will you go on before you would consider bringing them home to the family? 700. Oh. So you're not bringing them around the house. The game out here wild, y'all. Here's my thing. I regret. Like, this is, you know, you know, people like, like, they don't have uh regrets in their life and like it's shaped me who i am i'm always like fuck you i would change everything if i could redo it but one thing i could read since i'm happily married yeah if i could go back and redate people here's what i would do different i would night one tell them i love them okay instead of like oh i only tell you know everybody makes a big right makes a big deal about oh i've only told two people i love i would tell every single girl i ever went on a date with that i

loved her and i'd bring them back to the parents right away i'm like this this is no woman, my wife. It was so funny how you're so protective over stupid things. That happened Saturday, and it was too much. What was that? I met somebody for the first time, like, literal at I had a movie premiere Saturday night,

and he walked up to me, he was like, you're my man. And I was like, whoa, nice to meet you, I'm quenching, pleasure. He was like, no, you're my man. So I was telling everybody, all of our friends, all of all my co-stars and everything, like, hey, I just met him, that's my man. We went to dinner with the cast, and he was there, and it was very uncomfortable.

And I was like, dude, I don't know you. I appreciate the interview and the attention, but you got to go. What's your type? I like a jokester. I like somebody who can keep up with me. My life's kind of crazy. Physical. You want older or younger?

I don't want Santa Claus, but I don't mind. I've dated older before. My last main boyfriend was 10 years older me. Okay. I might have somebody for you. Uh-oh. Yeah. He can't tell me he loves me, though.

I don't know. Too many issues. We need some time. Do you want to see a photo of them or no? I don't mind, yeah Is that not a good way Or do you want me to describe him? He'll be so mad

Right now he's If I'm airing this on the show He'll be like You fucking do not I'm what it would be amazing If he was the person It was like That's my future husband

Ah Like just some weird world I mean all my photos of him Are weird Because it's like I'm a fucking Like He's just like

With me at my house and stuff Here he is with my son But it's not a good That's not a good photo He'd be mad at the photo Okay Uh huh Is not your cup of tea?

Is that what I'm hearing? I never said that. You didn't seem to me a good picture. You just, you prefaced it with this isn't a good picture. So here, let me swear it to you. Well, I know. I mean, I did, because I didn't want to wait too long. Oh, yeah, it's cute.

Well, here he is. That's right. Get him off my desk. I know, number one. Thunderstruck. Is that actual good choreography or is that the trashy southern version of dance? I think it's executed well. I think they have the incoming

group of wanting to be pro dancers are all coming from these top collegiate programs. So they're like the top of the class, like some of the best dancers out there. So anybody who's making Dallas now can make any step look amazing. There is kind of a tradition to it. I don't like traditions. I would love to go into DCC and choreograph. Oh. Change it up a little bit.

But a Thunder Truck is cool. I mean, it was a huge TikTok trend and everybody in their mom was doing it now. So I think they have to change it up now. Not my mom. Not your. A good Dolphins fan. Okay. Okay.

I was just working with him. Oh. Yeah. Some Cubano's in there? In that crew or no? Yeah. Better. They better have hired.

It's a very attractive team. Oh, that's nice. Like my friend's the director, and she is really changing that program for the better. It's awesome. It's cool. The offense is going to come up. Okay. Not the football program.

Do you think cheerleading should be in an Olympic sport? I think traditional cheer, yeah. I think it's not subjective. So if you throw a girl up and you catch her with one hand, and she doesn't move, you can judge that without it being weird. Right, but subjective and judging. Like, Dan's a subjective. Right.

Like, but cheer isn't. Like, if you either, like, what did that show, um, Netflix? They used to say, hit zero, which means no, no errors, no anything. Did you like the Netflix show? I did. Did you like her, the lady? I mean, I have coaches that are like her. So, yeah, I have to, like, respect it.

You know, the bubble that was burst for me once I watched the show after season one was to find out that they were in a division that only had three other schools. Not even. I said, oh, man, why do you even let us know that, you guys? And even, I mean, I compete in that realm, and they could have not said that and made it very, and just survived. Yeah, but once you realize that there's only your own. There's two teams. Right.

Yeah. I don't care about your 27 time now. You haven't beat nobody. No, it's wild. I mean, the other 50 times you came in last. Please know that this is a safe space. And I have had many similar experiences. But go ahead and talk about shitting your pants mid-routine

at the World Championship in Orlando. Oh, my gosh. Okay, let's talk about it. The year is 2016. And I was on this all-star team called Pace Elite. And there's a big competition in April called Worlds. And we got there Thursday. I'm pretty sure we went to, if I remember correctly,

is either Black Angus or Outback. And I remember ordering three chicken breasts. flat of broccoli. It's very plain mild meal. It seems like it'd be okay. This is an athlete's meal. That's what I'm saying. You know, I was trying to get the protein up.

And I woke up Friday not feeling good. And I was like, you know, maybe it's just gas, whatever. Friday night happens. And we have our first round of competition. And I was not doing well. And I was like, I don't know what's happening. I don't feel good. I feel nauseous.

I mean, I don't ever get sick. So I was confused. Saturday I woke up and I was throwing up and it was coming out of both ends. And I was like, you. guys, I don't know if I can dance today, but I have to. Well, you don't have to. No, but I have to. I didn't get this far.

Uh-huh. You know what I mean? I hear you. And I was, at that point, I was, uh, I started the routine. I was center. And in the routine, there's, I, uh, had to do four toe touches back to back, which is like, when I jump, legs come up by my ears. That is, that is the wrong move to have to do.

Uh, with this works. By that third one, the third one. And I was, I remember like, oh, shit, shit. Like, oh, shit. And I had to complete the routine. like that, and I was really proud of myself that I finished to dance, and I was sick, and I was like, yeah. And then after I got off stage, I was like, you guys, I just shit myself.

I got to go. So, yeah. Sick, thank you, Black Angus, or Outback. I'll credit both of you guys. I figured out. It couldn't have been the Alba. It couldn't have been the Outback. It had to be Black Angus. Who had a Blooming Onion? Is that? Outback.

It was Outback then. Because I remember that was at the table as well. Okay. Outback. You did them dirty. In Orlando. Why don't you get lifetime-free pumper-nickle bread? Yes. The rye bread.

Is it rye? I'm sorry. I thought it's pumper-nickle. You've worked with both NFL and NBA teams. How different is dancing on turf versus hardwood? Very different. And even what the teams can do choreographically is totally two different things. What's more fun, the NFL or the NBA?

NFL's cleaner, but you have more freedom with NBA because there's not palm. Most teams don't have palms in their hands, so you have to worry about movements being linear. Whereas NBA, I can kind of do anything. I can get down and dirty. We can flip. We can do whatever. Most NFL teams, they're wearing heels. So we can't do too much because we have these three-inch heels on.

So you got to play it a little more on the safe side. But NBA, it's like kind of a no-holds bar situation. You ought to talk to fans while you're working? As a choreographer or when not as a cheer leader? Oh, yeah, I talk to everybody. What do you think about these NBA teams that will hire a group of, large old people to come out on the court and dance for a little bit. Do you think we're exploiting them, or are you okay with this?

Dance is for everybody, Daniel. Okay, okay. Dance for everybody. I think it's cool for the people that the 50 isn't, the 50 novers. Well, I'm 50. They look great. Hey. There it is.

But if I'm on the court, nobody's like, look at that. Well, you probably didn't dance. Okay, I'm just saying, you know what I'm talking about. All right, anyway, just these old fucks you think it's good for. I think so. Have you ever had to do the choreography for them? I've been asked, but I haven't been able to make that happen. It might be frustrating, huh?

Most of them have experience. You don't want them to shit their pants during their routine. No. That'd be nasty. But that can happen at that age. I have a black pants. Most of them don't wear black pants. Oh.

What's your underwear choice while you're dancing? A brief. Not, but tight? I don't wear boxers. Okay. In general. That's gross. In general, boxers are...

I like a box of brief. A short one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just don't like the loose material. No. wraps around your legs and it's just like the pee holes over here now and I'm like confused what about the style of clothes right now do you are you are you going a baggier again are you going tight fit on your pants what what what what's I like the cool people wear the 90s dad vibe I kind of

like the look it's fun do you know what the cosom is I haven't been but it looks really cool okay you know what it is yeah so it's it's in a handful of cities and it's you can go and you can watch a game at this it's basically a restaurant movie theater and it's the screen is bigger than an IMAX, and they have their own cameras that are shooting the game, and you buy tickets to go to it. Anyway, here's what I was fascinated by when I went to it one time. I watched a football game there. It's a different feed, and there's one camera on the sideline.

So, like, when cheerleaders are walking by, or just random people and players are walking by, you're 25 feet tall walking by the screen, and I can read what's on your side. cell phones. That's crazy. I think people need to know that there's a different camera feed that is really in their space that people on the sidelines have no idea about that I'm just eating a sandwich watching you on Instagram swiping over. That's crazy. I see guys taking photos of the cheerleader's asses. That's wild. Uh-huh. Get them. Well, I'm just, I'm not going to get them. I'm just saying that I'm snacking and watching. I feel like a weird gawker. Let's talk about Bring It On.

I need to know who I'm sitting across from here. How many movies exist within the Bring It On franchise? Okay. Seven. Wait, I was going to count. Your name them all. Have you seen every single one? I have seen them all, though.

So have I. Do you think Bring It On Cheer or Die set the franchise back by ditching the comedic element and replacing it with horror? I didn't watch that one. You didn't want. I did. I still watch it. I still watch it multiple times.

The guy who gave me my first job ever, Tony Gonzalez, is the correct. for a while to bring it on as well as the mass singer he throws down you ever watch uh save the last dance and just and just cringe the it's so bad now it is when but back then it was like okay it was beautiful yeah yeah it's like honey her dancing is just so so hard to watch have you ever toured with a pop star as a backup dancer toward no performed yes i did uh maria carrie's christmas special which is really cool love work on her i work with making Stallion on her coach campaign. It worked with you Paul for a little bit.

I did one of his drag queens. I choreographed one of their music videos, which is an awesome experience. Big Beyonce fan, but didn't get that call. Well, they missed out. She's not. Well, she's not done. Absolutely not.

She better not be. Yeah. I mean, how, like, as a dancer, like, that world just seems so competitive. Oh, it is. And it's just, how does a young dancer, an up-and-coming dancer, go out making a living? you will be really successful in this business

if the more class you're taking the more people you network with but genuinely not just like I want to take your class because I know you're choreographing for this person I want to make it into that dance like that's you can spot the fake a mile away I know and that's really it's uncomfortable

it's uncomfortable when people are just trying to I think being a versatile performer getting in as many classes as you can being great at different styles what's your worst style of dance to dance or to choreograph? Let's start with just dancing what's your least favorite dance

that you like to do? I can say least favorite because I don't know how to do it is tap. What about daggering? I don't know what that is. So that that's another one. So that Jamaican dance hall where they just like dry hump someone violently? It's just like it. If I knew about it, if I studied that, I'm pretty shocked.

It's like a simulated just attack. Nobody's safe. Nobody's safe. It's a lot. It's very, ew. These people are getting thrown around on their head. Daggering, noted. I'll look at that.

I'll look at that. dude looking up do you ever choreographed line dancing no quite a movement it's having right now with the pop stars and you know hip hop kind of crossing over

and you're like hey we can do this too absolutely and putting out the albums but have you haven't choreographed any line dance no but at the wedding that I just sat I had to learn a Filipino line dance and it was kind of it was fun uh huh I let it you can pick it up immediately

it took a little bit but yeah I was able to teach it I always laugh it twice I got it. People can pick stuff up. I think that's a brain thing. Absolutely. Like, I just don't have it.

You can tell me like, oh, we're going to do these nine steps. I'm like, oh, no, we can't. I understand. He's like, we can't do it. We're actually not doing that. So that's fine. Everybody that's on the show gets gifts. I get a gift?

Mm-hmm. Just stuff that I find around my house. And then I give it to people. He's a re-gifted things. Yep. First thing I'm giving you your first gift. What the heck? It's my, it's my, it's my microphone.

Now you're probably like Why do I have this It was a prop originally on Tosh Point O But then I had it hung Above my child's Changing table Because I thought it was fun to have a big and people would come into my house and think why is there a huge Michael Jackson

photo above I guess where I changed my kid but I thought it's their kids are older now and they don't they think he's creepy in the house this is his kids have decided it has to go yeah the kids are like can we get Michael Jackson I said yeah we'll get him out but you know a great dancer you I'm not saying put away the accusations put all that away as a dancer I mean he was good yeah's great one of the greatest okay Anyway, it's nice.

Please tell me you did better than Rex Ryan. I almost lost the Rex Ryan. You know he's got a big foot fetish, right? That's crazy. Yeah. I know that. He's into it. He'll talk about it.

Okay. They posted videos with him and his wife. Yeah, yeah, he's into it. All right, but anyway, you did beat him, though. Yeah. Okay. I think he went home second. That show seems stressful to me.

I have gray hairs because of it now. I don't like travel to begin with. Oh, yeah. So it's like now I've got a race. Yeah, and we didn't know where we were going. Were you the weak link in your group? We had our different strengths and weaknesses, I would say. Uh-huh.

I picked my partner, because the producers wanted me on that show for years. I kept getting emails, and I was like, this must be spam. Like, there's no way this show wants me for four years. Like, how do they know of you? Rams and everything that had happened in 2018. So I've had emails from them from 2018. Okay, so it started from being the cheerleader on the Rams. Yeah.

They're like, we want this guy. And they wanted me and my teammate, and I was like, no. They want him with the other guy And I was like, I want to win And I want this girl I was making, she was my captain I trust her, she knows her stuff Like you, so you took another cheerleader

They wanted two cheerleaders But they wanted two males And I was like, well, I'm be honest I was like my two closest friend Mells on the team, they just graduated college So they haven't traveled yet And I only want to run this race with one person And then so they tried to do it

The whole interview and auditioned different people But nothing worked chemistry wise And I was like, I told you So give me my partner So we can run this race So we can win We didn't win but we got close Did you see anything, any cool parts of the world that you hadn't seen?

Yeah, we started in Germany, which is cool. We did Austria, which is cool. That's when I almost went home to Rex. That was crazy. Jordan for two legs, which I would have never gone to Jordan, which was awesome. So that was a cool country to see. Italy for two legs, rants for two legs. And you have to physically run this whole time?

I've never watched the show. Oh, my gosh. It's a big scavenger hunt. When did you know you had cheered your last game, the one where you were breaking down in the shower, crying? That was Super Bowl 56. Super Bowl 56. You were in SoFi Stadium. You were crying in the shower.

You were sobbing. Drama. Or, no. Were you really crying? Yeah. Like, I woke up and I was like, whoa, no. It started with like a little, wash my hair, getting ready for the game, like tear. Okay, okay.

So that's the shower. You don't shower at Sofi Stadium. I mean, you could. I didn't. Okay, you shower at home. Ray, it's kind of weird to get to the stadium and need to shower. Yeah. That seems like somebody that might be, you know, unhoused at that point.

Literally, exactly. Okay. So anyway, at home, you were like, it hits you. Hey, this is probably my last time cheering. Yeah, we're at the hotel, the day of the game. And we had an early call time because they wanted to get us to the stadium before all the promo started and everything and to beat the traffic. And I don't know what came over me, but I think my body knew it was it. I always kind of tell my MBA, all my professional dancers and friends, like,

hey, like, make sure you know what's your last game, or your last year, so you can always say, this is my first last practice or whatever that is. So you can appreciate those moments. And I didn't go into the season thinking it was my last, to be honest. So that's always really confused why I was breaking down. Okay, but why was it your last? I had booked the Amazing Race right after that.

Okay. And it was... I'm going on to bigger and better things. Yeah, and I couldn't... I was already choreographing for a lot of teams, so a lot of teams were thinking it was a conflict of interest, which was really weird. But the race was during Rams auditions.

So I knew that if I did, I couldn't audition the next season and that was a chance I mean but you went out on a Super Bowl win to start with the Super Bowl and to end with the Super Bowl is crazy yeah that I feel like you did it you did the career right if I were if I were just as an outsider I'd be like it'd be one thing if they were paying you millions of dollars they weren't so okay you gave it you're all and and you're done a good run how old are you now 33 is your body are you are you feeling 33 or no I woke up a little uh Tinder on my left side and So, uh-oh, is this what they mean?

Okay. Do you dance every single day? I do. Do you work out on top of dance? When my schedule is normal, yes. And what's a workout for you? It depends on the day, to be honest. I have this app that I follow that kind of keeps.

And you're just disciplined enough to do that, huh? Yeah, it kind of keeps me grounded, I guess you'd say, on track. What all do you do currently right now? Right now, it's all choreography. So I work with a handful, well, not a handful, a majority of the NBA and NFL teams. We're with a lot of colleges, a lot of high schools, a lot of all-star teams around the country around the world. I go to France next week. I'll have a team out there. I have a team in Japan, so I'm kind of all over the place. But yes, it's choreography, getting people ready for their

competition season. When I was a young buck, what was that kid's name that everybody liked? It was like the big choreographer. Uh, Wade Robson. Wade, I remember. Yeah. Do you know Wade ever mess with you? No. Okay. I don't know. No, I don't know. No, I think he's great. I think he's still active in the industry. Is he? Yeah, yeah. I was like my first, like, person I remember like, oh, this guys. That's like the throwback so you think you can dance days, like him, Brian Friedman. Didn't you like do like in sync and all those kids? I want to say yeah.

What's next for Quentin? Where am I going to see in the next five years? Do you have career goals right now? Are you not or you just go with the flow? Oh, I'm working on a show right now. It's on YouTube, but called Counting on Q. It's a docky series, kind of documenting and highlighting all the teams that I work with

that go to this really big competition in January called UDA. It's like the Dance Olympics. So it pretty much shows the start of how I start. Sometimes I walk into a team that I don't know. Sometimes it's a team that I've been with for five years. And then it shows the beginning process all the way to the final product of competition. Last year, I won for the first time with this one team, Cal State Fullerton.

And it was cool to see the process because then it was all documented naturally. So that's what's coming out in January. That's when the competition happens. Besides that, I mean, I'm kind of all over the place right now. Do you ever work with the Prancing elites? No. I don't so I don't I'm praying late

I have been asked to do majorette work but I don't want to appropriate somebody like that's that's not my style so I don't want to come in just because I'm good at my job and make it work but I don't I didn't Daniel have you ever worked with the prince I've worked with the prancing there it is sure yeah

27. I'm 205. I am Caucasian. My concession is a PGA certified golf instructor. Oh, I like it. And, yeah, I think I would be a suitable fit for Panda. I have zero equine experience, but I love sight of things, so I can definitely dive into that. As for why we would get along on trips, I love pulling pranks on people.

I have a pretty high level of sarcasm. It's pretty advanced. I like surfing. I snowboard. So you definitely hit the slopes and shred the gnar. And yeah, man. Also from Florida. So we got that connection.

And, yeah, I'm a shelter. All right. We'll be have a great rest of year and look forward to seeing you on tour. Peace. That guy wants to see us on tour, too. That guy seems great. I mean, the big red flag there is he's 27. Yeah.

He's a little young for her. Now, I'm not against it. If she says, no, because if the shoe were on the other foot and a 40-year-old man wanted to bang a 27-year-old girl, I'd be like, why are you going so old? If the condom were on the other cock, as they say. Yeah, it's a saying. Yeah, I mean, I have to talk to her. I don't know if she would, I don't think she would.

I don't think she would go that young, but I don't know why she shouldn't. And a PGA Tour Pro guy, it's kind of a cool job. Right. He likes to play pranks? Yeah, that's annoying. But that's because he's still 27. But he's got a job. He's got a job.
