00:05:44
Speaker 3: I think I said in an interview once that the only poster that I ever had hanging in my bedroom, my childhood bedroom, was a poster of Tiana was the first look of the princess and the frog, and and it was very for a quite young child. It was very particular about my space, and I didn't want posters on my wall.
00:06:04
Speaker 2: But it's this.
00:06:05
Speaker 3: It's the first look of Tiana is on her balcony looking out into the starry night, and that is I mean, I still have this photo and I put it right above my bed so I could look at it every morning.
00:06:18

00:07:26
Speaker 1: What is Brandon Armstrong's most underrated quality?
00:07:32
Speaker 3: Okay, Brandon Armstrong's most underrated Okay, That man is the funniest dude to ever exist.
00:07:41
Speaker 2: He is quick with the singers.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: But I don't think that's that underrated anymore because I think people are starting to learn that about him. And I will say I think people learn more about that on my season because.
00:07:55
Speaker 2: I made that man get online.
00:07:57
Speaker 3: He was so like social media a verse, and I'm like, we are post TikTok a day, bro, and then people just saw like his beautiful personality, but underrated he I mean, he's just an incredible artist. He's just an incredible artist. And I and I say, under I'm gonna put that in the category of underrated because I think that people get to see his brilliance in pockets, Like you don't to be in a room with him in a studio space and like experience the way that he takes in music and like he will he like goes to another astral plane and like he can see the music, he can see the choreography, and then he like brings it into the physical world and it's just such a beautiful process.
00:08:52
Speaker 2: And like I don't want to out his process too much.
00:08:54
Speaker 3: But he's actually masterful at what he does, and I think people don't even realize to the extent yet. And I just hope that he gets to showcase that more and more.
00:09:09
Speaker 2: He deserves that.
00:09:10
Speaker 3: He's he's brilliant and he's a big brother for life.
00:09:14
Speaker 1: Watching you two, you guys, what do I want to go with? Okay, what's the most elwoods thing you've done in real life?
00:09:23
Speaker 3: The most Elwoods thing I've done in real life.
00:09:32
Speaker 4: I mean, I was gonna say I started a petition, but it wasn't for anything important.
00:09:45
Speaker 2: And I did it.
00:09:46
Speaker 3: And that's She's a petition girly. She's she's getting the names on the pink parchment that smells like roses and lavender like that is.
00:09:56
Speaker 2: She does that very well.
00:09:57
Speaker 3: She gathers the people, she galvanizes the a petition. Yeah, okay, final one, I started a petition?
00:10:06

00:10:08
Speaker 1: Ready? Last one? Who is someone you wish would be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars.

00:10:30
Speaker 2: She would be incredible.
00:10:33
Speaker 3: She's also you know what, Actually, I would put her with Brandon because the crackhead energy in that room would be unmatched. I don't think people are ready for that. I think the the the high brow, quick wit, humor, the zingers that are gonna be flying back and forth between them like that would be I would want to see that in the packages before the dances, and then she would go out on that ballroom floor. She would eat it up every time. That girl can move. And I don't think people really lies like they see the they see the never have I ever girly who's like, you know, figuring out, like figuring out how to be like a normal high school girly. Like, No, she's a baddie. My tree can like she. I'm not gonna say too much.
00:11:15
Speaker 2: I just know that she would do incredibly. She would do incredibly, and.
00:11:19
