00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.080
I'm gonna be cool and normal about that.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:08.160
Like we're doing it.
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:11.199
You find it?
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:11.679
Yeah.
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.359
I liked that that one was kind of like a like a like a gymnastics.
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:17.760
Yeah.
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.039
Gymnastics wannabe.
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:20.160
Cute.
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:21.039
I like that one.
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:22.079
That one I liked.
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:22.320
Okay.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:22.800
Amazing.
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:23.519
We're getting better.
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:24.079
We're getting better.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:25.039
Okay, beautiful.
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.480
Okay, is everyone settled?
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:26.800
Yeah.
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:28.800
Welcome to the BLT podcast.

Welcome.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:35.679

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:37.439
What number is this?
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:39.280
This is episode six.
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:39.920
Whoa.
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:40.320
Yeah.
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:41.200
Big deal.
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:42.399
Yeah, big number six.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:44.560
What are we gonna do for number seven?
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.600
We gotta do a party or maybe we should get to ten before we celebrate.
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:48.000
Yeah.
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:49.439
We'll celebrate at ten.
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:51.759
Ten's a good number.
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:52.719
Amazing.
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.399
Um, our topics today.
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.920
We are in the theme of dance.
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.679
I am going to talk about dancing with the stars.
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:15.200
And I'm gonna talk about my knowledge of land dance and all things salsa, flamenco, bachata, merengue, and what I know.
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.280
Again, this is an introduction.
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.079
Yeah, this is a conversation introduction.
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:20.799
Yes.
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:30.719
Um, if you fact check us, please know that this is meant to be a fun, friendly yap and not a deeply educational pod.
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.359
Yes, if you are new to the BLT pod, we are not meant for research papers.
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.480
We are meant for you to feel like you are yapping with us.
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.400
The perks of living with a cat.
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.640
She did thought I was dramatic when I said that it always feels like there's a cat hair in her face.
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.519
Um darning.
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:55.120
Um, yes, and so we're here to have fun with each other and teach each other what we know about our favorite topics along the way.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:07.599
Still, it's like, but first, the first meeting of I think I know my answer to the question for the top slice of bread, which is As we build our sandwich together.
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:08.000
Yeah.
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.199
Are you a cat person or dog person?
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.120
I'm a cat person.
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:13.599
Okay.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.520
I have two cats with my own.
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.199
I did have a dog at one point in time.
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:18.639
She's still with us.
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:26.560
Um, she just I've no longer she I got her with a couple, and so she is theirs always and forever, but I love her very much.
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:27.680
I love her still.
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.560
Um, but I'm allergic to most dogs, um, especially like uh.
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.439
Yeah, especially especially short-haired black dogs, like my face, it's the weirdest thing.
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.080
Yeah.
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.840
Like labs, a black lab will make me puff up.
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:43.039
Um, so I love a dog.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:44.080
I love all animals.
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:51.039
I'm like very specifically, if I could just like have a ranch with like every animal taken care of and no animal felt pain.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.960
Um, but very specifically, I make hat person.
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.319
I have two cats, um, Miles and Costello, and they are the best.
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.879
I will superimpose a picture of them cuddling here.
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.599
Right in front of our pom pals.
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.000
Our friends from Pom pals, our BLT sandwich and our side of fries.
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.639
Um, and they are from our friends at Pom pals.
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:15.840
Um, yeah.
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:16.960
That's our new friend.
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:19.280
Are you buddies?
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.439
Are we normal?
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:23.840
No.
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:24.960
Who wants tabaye?
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:26.080
We're curious, no.
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:27.360
Who wants to be?
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.919
Um not our dog person.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:36.159
I'm complicated in that I'm probably need I would I would probably say dog.
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:42.879
I get excited about if I'm in public and I see a dog and I would like ask to pet them if they seemed comfortable.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:43.439
Right.
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.599
Um, but they do still scare me.
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:51.280
I mean, like dogs can I was bit in the face as a kid.
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:52.560
Well, yeah.
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:54.719
So that'll do it.
00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:00.560
And I was young enough that I don't remember, but I feel like my body remembers, so I'm still I have a respect.
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:12.560
I'm like, and also with people who don't train their dogs, like I you telling me that they're friendly while they're like trying to eat my face, like no.
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:19.199
I love I love, ugh, I love a good dog train a dog owner where it's like their dogs just like set.
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.199
Dogs love structure.
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:22.959
I love a good dog owner.
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:24.240
Love a great dog owner.
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.920
I will say though, cats are really growing on me.
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:34.160
I've like cats at before, and I think they're cute and have a place in this world.
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.040
And I would hope they would have a place in this world.
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.160
Okay, we wouldn't be friends if you didn't think they had a place in this world.
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.600
Big words for a small stadium.
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:45.199
Yeah, that's fair.
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:46.000
That's fair.
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.959
Yeah, I don't think I would I think owning a pet is just like too much.
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.759
I'm like, yeah, that you love you love a plant though.
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:59.040
I do love a plant, and I am very proud that the ones that are here are alive.
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:00.959
Because that's that's been a process.
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.040
I have one plant in my office that I stole from my office like neighbor.
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.199
Um, and she's growing.
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:08.720
She just had a baby spray.
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.519
Oh my god, I probably missed her unfurling today.
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.360
Oh my god, she probably unfurled this week.
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:14.879
I have a cold, so I didn't go into office.
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:16.959
Oh my god, I probably missed the baby unfurl.
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:17.920
That's really sad for me.
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.199
What kind of plant is it?
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.920
Um it's one of the big it's one of the big ones that um with the big leaves.
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:26.000
Apothos.
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.319
What they're from the rainforest.
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.800
They have like a big leaf and then they kind of like like have little holes.
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:33.360
Mm-hmm.
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:33.759
Okay.
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.600
Yeah, and she's beautiful and I love her.
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:36.720
I literally stole her for her.
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.120
I guess the idea is to have a biologist or a plant lover.
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:47.279
Uh what's the word for a plant lover herb now?
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.439
A herbologist is definitely something.
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.720
But the apothecary is where the the the study of plants, there's a word for that, and I don't it'll be here.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:57.519
This is the word.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.800
If you're watching it.
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.120
And if you're listening, good luck!
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:02.319
Good luck!
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:02.959
Look it up.
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.439
You can Google it because you have an extra screen to look up.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:13.519
I will say I think the auditory experience of this is so different because it's just I don't know.
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:14.160
It is different.
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.879
It is a podcast though, so I were behaved.
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.879
What's hilarious about this is that I listened to our podcast.
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.319
So, okay the video, I listened to it.
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:24.639
Yeah.
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.079
But last week, this is a tangent, but I felt bad.
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.800
Like I the intro was funny, but then I listened to it and I was like, what the like, what is going on?
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.720
Wait, no, I listened to it and I thought it was good.
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:35.279
It was good?
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:35.600
Yeah.
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.879
So like screaming at me jumping for like a minute.
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.720
For the first okay, the first couple seconds it is confusing, but we are disabling and screaming.
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:48.319
But it's tiggling and then you know what I'll start doing is I'll start putting the jumps on social media.
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.160
I'll just come here!
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.879
Our 10 episode anniversaries, just 10 jumps.
00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:03.279
Will we like I have to say that as a joke, as a joke, I jumped on the first episode and now it's stuck and well, right, just like the ek outro.
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:04.879
I hope you enjoyed our sandwich with us.
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.879
You thought we wanted to land on that.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.319
Um, so, anyways, what do you want to know about dance?
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.959
So let's transition into what's non-accidental is dancing with the stars.
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:15.680
Yes.
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.079
So, okay, we're gonna get into Dancing with the Stars.
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:19.680
I have to do full transparency.
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:25.519
I watched Dancing with the Stars like as a kid for the first like five seasons, ten seasons, like religiously.
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.040
I remember calling on my home phone to vote all of the time.
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.480
You were that committed.
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:31.839
That's how committed I was.
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.079
I then took a very long break.
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:40.720
Okay, and then because Mara Higgins and Sierra Miller were on this season, I started watching Anne this season.
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:42.079
This correct.
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.360
So, what do you so I will give you as much information as I can.
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.519
Have you watched Dancing with the Stars in the past?
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:48.319
I have.
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.519
It's been so long, and I haven't watched this season.
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.519
I would love to, but I just don't have the timer TV.
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:20.639
So, for anybody that's not familiar with Dancing with Stars, since you know at least a little bit about it, um, Dancing with the Stars is a competition show where some celebrities in the past, a little bit bigger name, celebrities like Buzz Aldram was on it, um, but like celebrities who don't necessarily come from a dance background are going on and they are going in and competing their hearts out for 10 weeks to learn dance.
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:32.399
And they are partnered up with a professional dancer, and the professional dancer is tasked with choreograph choreographing every single week a new dance with a new style of dance every single week.
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:39.440
Like foxtrot, salsa, foxt, salsa, jazz, like ballroom, two-step, yeah.
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.480
Everything, like every type of dance.
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.200
There's freestyle as you get further into the season.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:52.799
And so the goal is as this as the season goes on, as dancers get better, the better dancers continue on.
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.559
How it works.
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.480
Do you know how the scoring works?
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.320
Do you remember how the scoring works?
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:04.639
I just remember like the professional judges like ripping them to shreds.
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.960
Because they're, I mean, if it's like a you know, they're at the table.
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.720
Do they do like a one to ten?
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:11.200
Yeah.
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.639
So they're scored out, their score, the dances are all scored one to ten.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:19.440
So every at the beginning of everything, you see the for the beginning of every season, you see everybody dance.
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:23.440
This season they started with two nights, just all the men danced and then all the women danced.
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.279
I can't always split.
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:26.000
I thought it was.
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.600
This is the first year I believe that they're doing that.
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:28.240
They've done it.
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:29.519
Yeah, recently.
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.120
This is they only did it the first night.
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.360
I think just because they have so many, and there's- We don't want to have like a five-hour yeah, exactly.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.279
Um, and so, and they had two uh an elimination from each side.
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:53.440
But so basically the premise is the celebrity and their partner dance, and then the judges she's talking about Carrie Ananabe, Carrie On, Carrie Ananabe, Derek Huff, and Bruno Tomioli.
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.960
And there used to be, oh my god, I'm put I'm blanking on his name and he passed away.
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:10.080
No, no, Len Goodman, Len Goodman, the old man who was very tough, and he would be like, and you can do better, and you can do better, and I believe in you with his British accent.
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.840
Yes, unfortunately.
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.320
Let me make sure I didn't just kill Len.
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:14.960
Hold on.
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.000
You kill him?
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:16.799
Let me make sure.
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.519
Well, let me make sure that he's not still with us.
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.039
Okay, he died in 2023.
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.000
Okay, I didn't kill him.
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.919
He is unfortunately no longer with us.
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:25.840
Rest in peace, Len, yeah.
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:26.799
So sad.
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.840
Um and so now they're we're down back down to three.
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.279
And if you remember, Derek Huff was one of the original stars.
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:33.440
Yeah.
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.840
One of the original professionals with the stars.
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.039
So now he's one of the judges.
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:44.799
And Julianne Huff, who is his sister, who is also one of the professionals, she's now the host, the co-host with Alfonso.
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:55.600
And if you know Alfonso, Fresh Prince of Ballet, and you know who one of the contestants is, Tatiana Ali, the sister, the little sister from Fresh of Prince of the Lair.
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:59.600
And she's partnered with John, who he was a backup dancer for Taylor Swift.
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.759
So that's just bringing so many things together.
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:02.399
So fun.
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.000
Um, yes, so fun.
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.240
So anyway, so just to kind of over again, if you don't know anything about dance with the stars, I'm so sorry.
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.320
We tangent on this podcast again if you're new.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.080
Tangents! Tangents!
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.639
Um cosign.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:17.039
Acute angles.
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:18.720
I think cosign was right.
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.559
I just lost got lost in geometry.
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.320
I just went about acute angle.
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.840
Um, upon the news.
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.799
Um, and then so the star dance, and then the judges will hold up one through ten.
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:33.600
And then to decide who is going to stay, America also gets to vote.
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:45.039
And then, based off of the combination of the judges' scores, um, so you obviously can get up to 30 points, but the combination of the judges' scores and America's votes, that's who gets voted off.
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.159
And so usually the best answers continue on throughout the season.
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.600
Um, so do you know anybody?
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:53.759
I don't know a hundred, I'm gonna be really honest.
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:55.679
There are so many contestants.
00:11:55.840 --> 00:12:02.399
I can tell you probably like 50% of the cast this season because there are so many.
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.399
But I can tell you about some of them.
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.399
So have you heard anything at all?
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:13.759
Um, no, except for um she's the Olympian TikToker rugby player.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.200
Amber No, Ileana Maher was last year.
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:17.600
Last year.
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.519
She was on last year with Robert, she did not win.
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:22.480
Was she close?
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.320
She, I think she was top four or five.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:29.679
Okay, Jordan Childs, Olympian Jordan Childs, she was top three.
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.919
Robert Irwin was one last season, and Jordan Childs was top three, and so is Alex Earl.
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.279
That was last season, and Ileana Maher was last season.
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.120
Okay, and she's rugby, and Jordan Chiles is gymnastics.
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:50.320
Alex Earl is the internet and prebiotic soda and whatever, she's killing it.
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.799
And Robert Irwin, just as sweet as his dad was.
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.960
Um love that.
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.559
Um, so yeah, that was last season.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.759
I don't know, yeah.
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:07.600
So this season, Mara Higgins, which we are gonna get into why Mara Higgins is important, but she got her start just to tie into our previous episode.
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.240
If you want to learn everything about Love Island, you can go to episode one.
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:17.039
She got her start on UK Love Island, and she told off a man because they were supposed to go.
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.879
I don't even think we touched the hideaway.
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.480
So what?
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.279
Yes, so we're gonna call back to Love Island a little bit.
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:30.320
So at in Love Island, if you're like a good couple, you can get voted to go to the hideaway, which means you're not sleeping in the same room as everybody else.
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.759
Her and this man got voted to go to the hideaway.
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:41.279
And this man had the audacity to say, let's see if like what her what else her mouth can get up to, or something like that.
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.039
And she heard him say that, and then she said, Can you say that again?
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:46.480
And he repeated it.
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:54.000
And she's like, If you think I'm gonna go in there with you, rip that man up, down, left, right, center, and backwards, and said, We are not going in there.
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:54.960
You are never talking.
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.200
Mara Higgins, the woman she is.
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:58.240
I love that woman.
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.919
And then she was you remember how Sierra Miller was the um she did After Sun for Love Island.
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:10.559
Mara used to be that Love Island After Sun host, and she was also on Traders, which we do need to do a Traders episode.
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:15.919
I think you would love Traders, which it's currently airing right now in its normal people iteration, which I think you would like.
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.360
Um there's a celebrity version.
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.080
So she was on last season and she had her own.
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.759
I want to save her whole arc because so good.
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:33.679
But I love Mara, she's on it, and she is on who was on Traders with her, was her partner, Mark, who, if you remember Mark Ballas, he's been in pro for years.
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.720
With the long hair, Mark, um, you might not remember him.
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.080
I'll get you a picture of him.
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.080
Love Mark, he's her partner.
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:41.279
They were on traders together.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.360
Dancy with the star! Dancy with the star.
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.960
Yeah, we're gonna give ourselves just a quick moment.
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.320
Momos Islands.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.480
We did have a really long, hour and a half long episode of us just talking.
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.200
It was beautiful.
00:14:53.360 --> 00:15:00.960
It was probably our most fun episode that will never see the light of day because we ran out of storage.
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.480
And whose fault is that?
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.200
Ours.
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.279
As a group project, ours.
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.320
We were both responsible for keeping track of the storage available.
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:09.360
Of our sandwiches.
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:10.480
Of our sandwich.
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.120
So we are gonna get back into, and if this doesn't feel clean, I'm sorry.
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.159
We're gonna do the best we can because we recorded an hour and a half ago.
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.240
We're failing forward.
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.440
And we'll do this together.
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:21.759
Yeah.
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.279
Um, so dancing of the stars.
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:23.679
Yes.
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:27.600
Um, last we probably tackled based off of what we watched.
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.480
Um, Mark Ballas is with Mara.
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:32.320
Um, and they're doing great.
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.679
I feel really great about her.
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.039
Um, Tatiana.
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:36.480
I don't know if we talked touched on this.
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.960
Yeah, I think we touched on the judges, Alfonso, Tatiana, Ali and Jan, yes.
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.919
Um, I believe that was a little bit earlier in the episode.
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.399
And then um I'm trying to think.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.919
Oh, Connor Wood, I have purse.
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:48.720
I have purse.
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:49.360
I have purse.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:50.480
I have hat.
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:51.120
No.
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.240
I don't know.
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:52.879
Something else.
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.559
Um, I have purse.
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.679
Um I think I have purse was all it was.
00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.759
And then it's it's it's it's spiraled.
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:00.480
Okay.
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.360
I think it's they think it's spiraled, but it was started with I have purse.
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:04.080
I have purse.
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.879
Um, and so that from that podcast, he's doing great.
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.159
He's trying his very best.
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:14.240
Um, Ezra, who is an Olympian, who is a paralympian, but he's doing great, is on it.
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:18.320
Um, do you know anything about banana, the banana baseball guys?
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.600
The banana guys?
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.440
The like monkey don't cramp because he eats a banana guy.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:25.759
No, that's just the best baseball.
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.279
That's just the best picture of baseball.
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:28.639
That's the picture from the Dodgers.
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.200
No, no, no.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:30.240
Would you ever meet him?
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:30.879
If you could?
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.559
No, because he's a Dodger.
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.759
Uh, okay.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:34.639
I would.
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:35.919
Well, probably.
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:36.960
I actually probably would.
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:38.960
I don't hate I love the Phillies too much.
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.080
I hate the Dodgers because they keep doing what the Phillies should do.
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.480
Because anyway, we're not doing baseball.
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:52.559
We're not touching baseball with a 10-foot pole until the Phillies can decide to make it actually red October and not just pink October for the day of Americana.
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.720
They keep hurting my heart.
00:16:54.960 --> 00:17:02.159
Anywho, um, so he's banana, they like have baseball rules that aren't real baseball, and they like sing and they dance on the field.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.279
So he's one of them.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.200
Um, Guillermo from um Jimmy Kimmel.
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:07.680
Okay.
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.559
He's still on it.
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.039
Okay.
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:10.880
Um, who else?
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:12.799
Who else is on it this season?
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:16.000
I'm sure I'm gonna oh Amber Glenn, a figure skater.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.200
She's on it.
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.079
She's doing great.
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:19.839
She turned her body upside down this week.
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:21.039
Ah, incredible.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.720
She's been doing amazing.
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.720
Um, I'm trying to think who else is on it.
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:26.559
But yeah, good season so far.
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:28.799
Um, it's been definitely interesting.
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:33.440
Um, having fun, but you know, um it's definitely interesting.
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:44.400
I mean, these these people that aren't dancers are putting their body through they because they practice for like six weeks beforehand, eight hours a day, five days a week.
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:50.480
They are practicing and putting their body through so much, going through injuries, fighting.
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:51.839
It's crazy.
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.039
Um, so fun.
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.839
So fun to watch, like the bonds that they all get to create.
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.559
Um, so definitely have enjoyed watching that.
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.119
I'm definitely gonna go home and completely forget.
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.519
I we I'm gonna forget somebody.
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.920
Um I do have bad news.
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:14.079
So I wanted to do Dancing with the Stars because I was like, oh my god, we're gonna tie it to our other episodes um where we talk about Sierra Miller because we love her.
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.039
Sierra did get kicked off this week.
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:21.519
Because of Guillermo.
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.200
Guillermo did not get kicked off.
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.920
Oh yeah.
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:28.079
So yeah.
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:33.839
It's not that like he deserves to be not deserved to be there, but he got fours, and this was like her best dance.
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.240
And then here the whole point is that you're judging their dancing ability.
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.200
Yeah, he was laying crawling on the he crawled on the floor this week.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.039
They partnered him with Whitney who's pregnant.
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:44.400
They didn't expect him to get this far.
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.559
She's not supposed to be dancing anymore.
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.960
So I'm really upset.
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.759
So, and it's very um, it's interesting.
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.240
It's very interesting and ironic that last week the black pro got sent home.
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.079
Um, another black celebrity got sent home the week before.
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.720
Um, and there's only one black celebrity left.
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.000
It's really interesting um how that keeps happening on Dancing with the Stars.
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:13.599
Um, and Sarah's cut off before Guillermo, who was crawling on the ground and got fours last week.
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:21.680
But it's been really lovely to see her get to show parts of herself and be vulnerable, and she was killing it while she was doing it.
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.279
Um, so I was really proud of her in what she had done.
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:28.880
Still watching for Tatiana because I think she's gonna do great.
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.119
Um, so really liking this season.
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.480
Yeah, I would love to catch up eventually.
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:39.279
I don't I haven't I would love to watch it, I just don't have a way to find a way.
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:40.400
We'll find a way.
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:52.880
Um, I'm really rooting for Mora now that I mean I think Tatiana can do great things, but I really think like Mora, I I really can't wait to really do a traitors deep dive so you can like understand why I like love her other than like the Love Island stuff.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:20:01.519
But her traitors, her first opening dance was really a testament to her whole journey, and you'll just love her from traitors.
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:18.960
Um love her, but she was like from a little Irish town, like in Ireland, and she was like Mark, her partner, she was like, There's always somebody that like has never done dance and like they come out of it better, and uh that she's like, Yeah, I was it would be like hours for me to drive to like so she's never danced before and she got the first nine of the season.
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:21.920
Like she's just doing so well, and I just really love Mara.
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:27.119
I just think she's a great testament for like never like making yourself small for anything.
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.240
So really love her.
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.079
I really think she's gonna do great things.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:31.839
Um, so I've really loved it.
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:32.960
Do you have any other questions?
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:39.599
I feel like I don't I don't I really want to watch it, so I'm glad you introduced me to all of it.
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:47.200
I think that's I'm I'm hoping we covered it all because we did cover a lot of it last time, but I have no idea what we're missing.
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.720
It does make us really sad.
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:50.880
Um but it's okay.
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:51.440
Yeah.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.519
What questions do you have about dance?
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:58.720
Such a big such a big weighted question.
00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.200
Yeah.
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.440
What are the like what are your like the dances you focus on?
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.480
Or like do you like the most like Latin dance?
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.440
Talk to me about Latin dance, because I feel like you like come alive when you talk about that dance.
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:17.759
Yeah, I mean, I love salsa, bachata, merengue, cumbia, flamenco's fun too.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.440
I mean, that's a basic thing.
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:35.200
Um I yeah, I I think they're all different types of dance, they're all I think different forms of like celebration, connection, self-expression.
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:49.279
Um kind of have really interesting like stories of their history and also how they're kind of or more recently, how they're I feel like more popular now, which feels like crazy.
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.240
Like I think that funny was a big part of that.
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.839
Talking about you were talking before we started the pod, you were talking about self-sac.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.480
And like it's the capital that talks to me.
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:12.400
I from my understanding the salsa started in this now, this could be wrong, but what I know is like Kali is like the salsa capital of the world.
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:17.519
Um and part of my family is from there, and I would love to go and dance one day there.
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:18.799
I think that'd be so fun.
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:27.759
Um I know like uh Cuban salsa is another or like the One of Us' Social Club is has made Cuban salsa very popular.
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:30.799
Um I just got to see that on Broadway.
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.200
It was so much good Broadway.
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.720
It was so special.
00:22:35.119 --> 00:23:05.440
I like remember I don't think I remember watching the documentary that they made about One of Us's Social Club, which is so one of I grew up listening to the One of Us a Social Club album and also my grandpa playing his own his old like salsa music, and even I don't know what I mean maybe they were like slow salsas, but like those pan jokes, and like there's a song called Amor, amor, amor, which is just love.
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.400
Love, love, love.
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.079
It's the sweetest.
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:21.839
Um and when I got to see when I was a social club, it was like some part of me was unlocked, and I was so happy to have my childhood on stage, and I like the importance of having representation.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:30.160
I was like, I was beside myself, I cried so much, and then like my mom was even like, hey, like are you good?
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.720
And I'm like, no, this is huge.
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:43.519
It was beautifully the show itself was so incredibly uh thoughtful in the way they told the story and kept it moving.
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:51.119
It didn't, it was a Broadway show, but the live, it felt like you were there, which is very special.
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.920
You need to see it if you haven't, especially if you have any, I don't know.
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.200
It's just it's worth seeing.
00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:58.319
It was very special.
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.599
So yeah, I I feel like I I really am drawn to salsa that way.
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:12.319
I think the aspect of like a partner dance is really interesting because you're you're sharing something with someone and it is impro, like I don't know.
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:18.720
There's there's more dynamics to then just like with ballet, with like a performance, like a choreographed dance.
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.880
It's like okay, you learn it, you perform it with partner, it's just like hey.
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:27.039
Yeah, and when you're dancing like with salsa, like you talk about going to salsa night sometimes.
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:29.440
Do you like have like a random partner?
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.079
What's that like?
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.680
Like, do you I mean, yeah, it's all random people.
00:24:34.240 --> 00:25:14.960
It's a little, I mean, it's like I it's exciting because when you're with someone who is a great leader, because there's leaders and followers when with the partner dynamic, um, when the leader is leading very well and they like know the moves and also know how to like guide you, if you know the basic moves as a follower and know how to hold the beat and also not freeze, because if you there's been so many times where I don't know what the well, I don't know what's gonna happen next, I don't know what the move is, but I know the beat and I know how to improv and like pretend like I know what I'm doing, and then it's it's really fun, and you like reach almost like a flow state of like you're like vibing with each other and it's really fun.
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:46.880
Um other times like leaders like grip your hand like I can I can feel the stress and like see their brain working trying to remember all the steps, which I there's like kudos to people who are like learning and putting themselves out there because it is it's a lot to learn, and like I don't I've tried to lead a few times and I'm like I'm sorry, I don't I don't know so it gets boring because I'm like I don't I'm back and don't um so yeah it's it's a fun dynamic.
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:52.400
I like oftentimes there's a lesson before it starts so like anyone can learn, which is really fun.
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.079
Um so yeah, it's a good dynamic.
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:58.160
And you're saying flamenco is from Spain.
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:04.240
The southern part of Spain, um there are different types of flamenco.
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:11.519
There's sevellanas, there's buleiros, there's so many other types that I can't think of.
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:18.079
Um the capital of flamenco technically in Spain.
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.519
I got to learn dance and I got to learn flamenco there for a little bit.
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:26.640
Are you kidding?
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:31.440
She does this thing where she acts like she's not so cool.
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.640
You knew that was gonna I forget.
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:40.480
Like I didn't I I'm like I didn't think to mention that because I was like, how is it important?
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:48.799
Oh, you know, just like really awesome, like learning a beautiful art from the place of its birth.
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.000
I it was what was that like so so excited?
00:26:52.079 --> 00:27:00.160
I don't I don't have words because it was a week with uh a week class with this woman who a week?
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:01.440
Yeah.
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:03.119
Sorry, sorry, please continue.
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:04.079
Please don't stop talking.
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:04.559
Yeah.
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.599
It was a week.
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:10.559
Um I learned uh pulero, which is 12 count.
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:12.799
It's one, two, one, three, three, others.
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:30.720
And you learn how to dance with that and like how to have kind of like the added, like there's a a presence that you bring with flamenco, which I think why I'm drawn to flamenco specifically, is it's a traditional dance.
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:46.960
The older women are respected more because they have more years of dancing, and you can tell, and these beautiful women with their like silver hair pulled back, like w watching taconel, which is taco nao is like the the footwork that you do that actually brings over them.
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:56.960
It's not tap dancing, but it is I mean it sounds very similar to that, but is uh this I don't know, it's last out of lots of words.
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:16.799
There's typically like a guitarist, um someone doing, I think it's called Palma, and they're doing the beat like this, um, not like that, but like clapping, there's a dancer, and it creates like this beautiful moment of people just sharing sharing life together and dancing.
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:23.039
And I I would love to study or like understand different cultures versions of that.
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:28.960
There we have jazz, we have um I think like in the Caribbean there's different variations of that.
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:39.759
In um Honduras, there's the punta dance, which is from the Garifuna, um, and that's a similar thing where it's like kind of maybe it's called a drum circle, I don't know.
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:49.519
Maybe there's a better term for that, but again, it's like an improvisational um dynamic of instruments, people, movement.
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.240
It's really fun and beautiful.
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.480
Um, and I just think that would be fun to study and understand.
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:58.319
So I love, I love, I love.
00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:07.680
I feel like I have really interesting experiences and I never know when to mention them because I every time I do, I don't I feel like I'm I'm not trying to brag, but I You're not.
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.880
You're just talking about your life.
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:12.240
It's like the same way you feel like it's just mentioning something about yourself, like hearing about that.
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:17.119
Like, yeah, I'm gonna react like that because I think, oh my gosh, it's so cool that my friend learned this.
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:21.039
Like, I think that's awesome, but that's also like you're not bragging, you're just talking about your life.
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:21.440
Yeah.
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:22.240
I missed that.
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:24.319
Like, where can I dance flamenco?
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:30.880
And also I can't like like who I don't I mean, I could teach it, like what do I like what what do I do with that?
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.920
I don't have the shoes, I don't have a place to dance.
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:35.039
Like, ugh.
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:36.000
We gotta find it.
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:36.960
We gotta find it for you.
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:37.759
Truly.
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:38.640
That breaks my heart.
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:40.240
Go back to Spain.
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.160
Um, I'll go to Spain with you.
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:43.279
Okay, let's go to Spain.
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.000
I love that.
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:45.200
Oh, I love it.
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:45.759
Amazing.
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:47.759
Is there any other type that you like love?
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.279
You mentioned uh reggaeton.
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:50.960
I do like reggaeton.
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:54.079
I feel like it's Yeah, talk to me about regatta.
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.920
Oh regatta!
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:13.599
Okay, fun fact the reason why it was brought like there was like two seconds where that was teased at the Super Bowl um halftime show performance by Bad Bunny.
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:26.240
Bad Bad Bunny Um was because Gasolina was like one of the main songs that introduced Reggaeton to Northern America, and I feel like Bad Bunny kind of paid an age.
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.000
I really thought that it was I was really excited.
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:35.279
I mean I was I was screaming the whole time during that halftime show, so I like it was phenomenal.
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:40.559
One of the like topics And if you don't understand why it was so amazing, we're not friends.
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:42.079
Or there's no time for you.
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:43.440
You're lost.
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:45.200
No one there's not enough time for you.
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:46.079
Go somewhere else.
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:46.559
Yeah.
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:52.400
Uh you guys couldn't hear.
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:58.559
They go slut like there's a small child.
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:01.279
Someone just yelled slut, and then I hear a small child's voice.
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:02.880
I heard the honk.
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:05.680
There was a honk, and then I heard someone go, slut slut.
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:08.880
That's what you are.
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:11.599
Amazing.
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:16.160
I feel like I can't I'm not even listening to reggaeton right now, but I'm happier.
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:17.599
No, literally.
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:23.599
Literally, when we were trying to get a pet's off to get ready to re-record the end of this, I was she's she's goes, reggaeton.
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:24.319
I got it.
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:28.240
I mean, like I can't I can't remember the song right now, but it's like ding.
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:37.839
I love this.
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:39.920
You'll understand if you I love this.
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.720
I'm gonna start playing reggaeton every week.
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:43.440
Yeah.
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:45.920
Again, I can't, I I I'm lost.
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:48.960
I'm now mentally in a different world.
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.000
Well, I think it's time to wrap our sandwich up.
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.680
Um I'm gonna we're gonna bring our bottom slice up into it.
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:01.759
Wow, you said that.
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:05.279
I know, I already knew that you were saying the words.
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:06.000
I'm sick.
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:07.680
I don't know what I'm saying.
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:10.559
I don't know.
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:12.799
We're gonna bring, we're gonna wrap our sandwich up.
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:13.839
That's what we're gonna do.
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:14.960
Oh my god.
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:16.160
Oh my god.
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.799
So what you don't know is that I'm wearing a Stalin University shirt.
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:20.480
I'm gonna talk about the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:21.839
I promise you, this is my value.
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.039
I won't make every single one of my slices about the Eagles, but crazy stuff happens.
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:26.720
So what's my half of this last?
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:27.759
What?
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:28.960
What's my half of this?
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:29.680
I guess I didn't.
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.440
You did you we did cats and dogs?
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:32.079
Yeah.
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.359
Um I promise not to bring up the Eagles every week for my slice.
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.160
Okay, but I feel like But this week was crazy.
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:39.039
Okay, what happened?
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:42.880
So we talked to you, I talked to you last week about there's players on every all sides of the ball.
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:48.079
The people that defend the Eagles, the quarterback, is called the O-line.
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:49.279
Okay?
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.480
The offensive line.
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:51.519
Offensive line.
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.559
The offensive line.
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:53.759
Offensive line.
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:57.039
There are five large men that protect the quarterback.
00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:57.839
How large?
00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:59.359
Very large.
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:01.279
Oh, I'm not focused.
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:01.519
Sorry.
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:02.079
It's okay.
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.880
There are five men that protect the quarterback.
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:05.279
Okay.
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:20.079
One of the stalwarts of the Philadelphia Eagles has always been that their offensive line, run by Jeff Stoutlin, for the past 20 years at Stoutland University, has he left the team over the on in the offseason.
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:25.039
He is no longer the coach of the offensive line, which there is a coach for the offense, the defense.
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:25.920
So many coaches.
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:29.839
The steel special teams, and every player gets their, like every position gets their own coach.
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:31.279
So yes, there's a lot of coaches.
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:32.960
Lots of coaches.
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:35.200
He is no longer part of the team.
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:39.039
And he's that's been like the identity of the Philadelphia Eagles is they always have a really good O-line.
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:41.839
Last year, our O-line wasn't that great under Jeff.
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.319
So I they decided they're gonna take it a new angle.
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:46.480
However, they brought back all of the same players.
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:53.359
So all of the same five players that started for us in the Super Bowl that played for us last year, a couple of them were a little injured.
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:57.119
We still gave them, we still gave them their starting positions this year.
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.160
This year wasn't looking too hot.
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:12.079
After the first game of the week, the first game of the year, the one guy on the side of the on this side, one of the five, Landon Dickerson, he was like, hey, I don't feel too hot.
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:13.920
And the team was like, you don't look too hot.
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:15.920
And it looks like you were injured during preseason.
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:17.199
You're gonna go on IR.
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:19.039
IR means Oh yeah.
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:19.760
I'm sorry.
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:25.360
IR means that you basically you're you're so injured your the team does not count on you for the next four weeks.
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:26.159
You cannot play.
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:28.559
It opens up a roster spot, someone can is gonna play for you.
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:29.039
Okay.
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.159
That's our in IRL.
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:34.239
Yeah, okay, okay.
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:39.920
Um then and then okay.
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:45.519
Because he gets injured in his spot, they put Cam Jurgens, our center, who's the guy that hikes the ball.
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:47.360
They move him to Landon's spot.
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:50.239
He nope, we're gonna keep his because Landon's still not here.
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:50.400
Okay.
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.280
We're this is the five guys that were on the original Super Bowl team.
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:54.000
Uh-huh.
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:56.719
He we move Cam over to his spot.
00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:58.079
He's not doing too hot.
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:02.400
So this last week, we're like, hey, you have a concussion.
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:11.199
Before the game this week, Landon said, uh Lane Johnson said, I have a family emergency, I have a personal emergency, I can't play.
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:11.920
Okay.
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.880
So now we're down to two, and one of them got kicked off the team already.
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:15.119
Oh.
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:16.559
Well, he went somewhere else.
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:18.079
Anyway, so there's one left.
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:19.280
One is left.
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:28.880
Not only are is Lane Johnson, did he not play against the Rams, he decided on Tuesday, I'm gonna retire from football.
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:30.000
I'm done.
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:32.800
I've been in the league for years and years.
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.280
I'm done.
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:34.159
Mid season.
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:34.880
See you later.
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.400
So all of them are gone.
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:37.360
Not all of them.
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:38.079
That's just Lane.
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:39.760
The guy that just didn't play.
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.320
Okay.
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:42.880
He's just he decided I'm not gonna play on the team.
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:50.000
Yesterday, we traded Cam Jurgens, the center that wasn't doing too hot, though we said he had a concussion off to the Ravens.
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:51.199
We traded him to the Ravens.
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.079
The Ravens.
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:53.360
The Ravens.
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:54.159
The Ravens.
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:55.679
So now Baltimore.
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:56.480
Baltimore Ravens.
00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:59.119
Baltimore Ravens! Great, I'm really proud of you.
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:03.119
So now in London, on Sunday.
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:04.000
London.
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:05.679
Like London, Ontario.
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:06.800
No, London, England.
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:07.280
Like across.
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:08.960
Why are they flying across the pond?
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:10.000
I don't play football.
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:13.920
If you're in London, England, you should be playing like football soccer.
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:15.920
I don't I don't understand.
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:23.360
And usually you get a break after a bye after you usually get a bye week because everybody gets a bye week in their season, and you get a break week after you do an international game.
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:25.360
This year they said, Eagles, too bad.
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:26.800
You'll get a week in week 10.
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:28.880
You're gonna go play and then you're gonna come back next week.
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:30.800
Oh, so how long are they gonna be in London?
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:37.039
Until they're they fly, they leave on Friday, they get there, they play on Sunday, and then they're coming right back and they have to play next week.
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:41.119
They can't even like hang out with the Nope, make it nothing.
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:41.920
Yes.
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:47.519
So I'm already annoyed because why would you not give them a break after they're gonna play an international game?
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:50.159
Hula just decide that.
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.559
And now what are we gonna do if we don't have an O-line?
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:54.480
It is a whole new O-line.
00:36:54.800 --> 00:37:00.159
We're gonna see how it goes, and we will see how I feel about the Eagles in the next time we record.
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.079
Because last time we recorded we were 2-0.
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:04.559
This time we are 2-2.
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:13.760
2-2 when we haven't won since we last recorded.
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:15.760
So we'll see.
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:20.320
Yes, so we will see how we are doing next time.
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:25.119
Yeah, but that's that's my bottom slice because that was crazy.
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:26.000
That's insane.
00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:27.840
Two players gone in one week.
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:31.840
I mean, granted, we weren't looking that hot, but we'll see.
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:32.639
Yeah.
00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:34.239
That's so intense.
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:34.639
Yeah.
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:35.599
It's been crazy.
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:37.920
Man, what an intense, intense time.
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:38.400
Intense.
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:41.679
Fun time learning about dancing with the stars.
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:42.079
Yeah.
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:46.800
I feel like we kind of went parts of the world, all over the world.
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:47.840
So many parts of the world.
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:48.800
Vague introductions.
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:50.480
Yeah, vague introductions.
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:52.000
Do a deep dive sometimes.
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:53.440
Yeah, for sure.
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:56.800
Well, I hope you enjoyed our little pom house.

I took French, so let's try.
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:14.800
Maybe it'll be you two.
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:17.679
