My favorite time of the week. You know, I do enjoy this time. Me too. And I'm having a back thing because so I got a new car, not bragging, just got a new car. And you know when you get a new car, your seat is not in the right position. And so, it's got a little, and you know, you're like, press it forward, press it back, press it up, press it down forward, back. And it takes like a while till you're like, yeah, I nailed it. That's why I love seat memory because I have an old car that does not have seat memory. And let me tell you every time I go to the car wash, it's like a total panic. I know I, I have been with you where we've gone to ballet. And you have said over, I will pay you
$50 to not touch my seat. Please don't move the seat. Please don't move the seat. Touch my seat and you will get $50. After many times of, please don't move the seat. I learned if I put duct tape over the thing so that they can't move it. So do you just carry duct tape with you and you're going to keep a roll? Seriously, I honestly keep a roll of duct tape. Sometimes I use packaging tape, which is a little less scary than duct tape. Yeah. And also more like, all right, that's in your car because you ship packages. Have you ever seen the things where they tell you how to like get duct tape off your wrist when you can move? More importantly, emotion immediately. I want to go through the whole cast of Dancing with the Stars. It's good. It's so bad. So let's just go through from the top. So, okay, so Dancing with the Stars, yeah, cast was announced. Very exciting. Yay, Dancing with the Stars. Mora Higgins, I don't know who that is. Oh my goodness. I'm assuming she's a Mormon wife. No, she is from Love Island,
but she was on traders and she was the one and the final two of traders were Rob the snake just totally robbed her. Yeah, by her, Birkin, remember you saw that? Yes, first of all, how did he buy her a Birkin? I thought you have to like get invited to buy a Birkin. Birkin reached out to her and they reached out to him and he organized whole thing and put it on social. You know, I was today. He was old that when I learned that you can't just buy a Birkin, you have to be invited to buy a Birkin. All right, thank you. Yeah, you have to like have some special pass or privileges. They're wait lists. Sex and city episode. Remember when Samantha did that? Yeah, I remember Samantha wanted to Lucy Liu had it. Yeah, drama. So Mora Higgins is with Mark Ballast now. And this is a big deal. It's a big deal because of traders. So that's why he was on traders. Yeah, and she and she was on horse. And so when she was offered dancing with the stars, her whole thing was like, it's Mark or nothing. I need to be with Mark. Okay. That was like a big deal. So I'm happy. I didn't think
it was going to happen, but now that it happened, I'm like, yay, this is this is cool. All right. So then Jackson Olsen is with Emma Slater and he's from that Savannah bananas. They're sort of like seeing baseball players. They're so funny. Yeah. And I always see like Kristen Bell showing up. Or Keith Urban showing up. There's like celebrity showing up. And then I think he is Pat say Jack's daughter's boyfriend. That's correct. Okay. All right. Now this one I'm okay with, but as we go further, I'm going to have some criticism. Julius Styles is with them. I said, this one I'm fine with. As we go further, I'm going to have some criticism. Okay. So we're all have thoughts. I don't know. Julius Styles was one that was not on my bingo card. Like I know, but like I get more. We knew. I got some rumble. I've been hearing about other people for a while. I'm worried. What was her movie that where she danced? Lies dance. Save the last dance.
So I don't consider her a professional dancer of any kind. So I'm cool with it. I think some people I'm not we're going to get there. We'll get there. So here's what I hear a lot of people saying. This is what the you know, the shit or chatter is. Julius Styles like a major movie star. That's how few of jobs there are in entertainment right now that Julius Styles is like on Dancing with the Stars. Let her live. Dance. Well, the stars is not I didn't say it. I'm a like a peanut prize. Like people want to get massive careers from the show now. I understand. That's what everyone's saying now. It's not like, you know, where are they now as much as like these are major people that are using this as a platform. Correct. I'm not I'm not mad about it. I told you I was telling you with the shit or chatter. Well, the shit or chatter needs to simmer down. The cheater chatter is right though that bigger people are doing it. Yes, that is that's true.
All right. So the next is Ciara Miller who we talked about. And she was part of the not scandal all the second scandal. She was. She was. She was the one that was wounded. She was a Ariana Manic. Right. I get it. But what was that? It wasn't scandal. It was called Scamanda. Camanda. Yes. I got it. Okay. I mean, look, I hot take. I don't care about her. We do. She's with Brandon who I like Brandon a lot. But like, I don't care about her. You know, I was actually surprised with this pairing. I'm not dogging Brandon because he's obviously very talented. I thought Ciara would be with like Val or wait till we get to Val. I can't wait to talk about Val because he's going to win it. But is it fair? I don't know. We're going to discuss it. Okay. So the next one is Connor Levit who I know is married to Whitney Levit who's Mormon wives. And she was on dancing with the stars. And he's partnered with Adele Zeichmann who
I'm not familiar with. She just won the pro competition. You know how there was this thing. The stars the next pro she won't not. So she's a newbie. I'm actually excited to see him because he was such a cheerleader for her season. And he seems like a sweet individual based off of what we've seen on the show. I'm excited for him. I think she has he dorky a little, a little in a charming way in a very charming way. But she literally has shined for the last year. And like I want him to shine too. I'm excited for her. Is she the one that went to like Broadway? Yeah, she was on Chicago and she still is doing Broadway. And she's not on Mormon wives anymore. Yeah, this next season. Oh, this one. But then she's now moved in New York, picked up the family from Salt Lake, moved in New York. Wow. She's just living. He's along for the ride. Yep. And is she currently on Broadway because she is going to support him? So no. So he's on his own great question.
She bought the new Broadway. Sometimes that leads to trouble. Well, and also they got like three kids. Who's going to watch the kids? I don't know. This could be just in time. This could be risky. That's a good show. I didn't even put the ticket. Damn. Okay. I did right away. All right, real talk. Have you ever walked into a room in insoleno? It's clean. La nariz no fall y amigente. It's not what you see. It's what you smell. For me, a home isn't really done until it feels fresh, welcoming and peaceful. Like somebody went through wiped everything down and left behind nothing, but good vibes. Mm-hmm. Ah, eso. That's where Clorox and Tiva makes all the difference. Clorox and Tiva disinfecting wipes gives you the Clorox clean. We all trust killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria when used is directed. But the cherry blossom scent, that's what really makes it hit different. Ah, well, it's then rico. It's light, floral,

But if you've ever stood in front of a wall of makeup wondering, is this me? You already know it's not. And I mean, who hasn't been there?

You know those moments when you're out with friends, everyone is catching up. Your food hasn't made it to the table yet, but your ice cold
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar arrives first. You tell yourself you're just going to enjoy one sip while you wait. Then the conversation gets going. Somebody tells a funny story. You take another sip here and there and before you know it, your food shows up and you're thinking, wait, where did my drink go? Well, we've all been there.

That's why I think they know. I think
they might break down. No, no, no, no, you don't even, you don't, what you think is as a stereotype. No, I know. I know. I know. I think the ones that moved to Hawaii because he was catten around or something. I don't think he was catten around as much as he was addicted to porn. Oh, let's say, okay, got it. I have a, because Whitney is only starting her Broadway run December 1st, three January. So she's not going till that. Okay, got it. Yeah. But does it go through mid-December? Like a week or two. No, the show goes to Thanksgiving. The finale Thanksgiving. That's right. Oh my God. I thought it was Christweef's guys sweeps back. That's right. The three old days there was a thing called sweeps. Um, Guillermo from Kimmel is with Whitney Carson, who is pregnant, which is second trimester. I know she's an icon. She's an icon and I love Guillermo and I love him on the red carpet more than anything. It's so funny. As a once pregnant human, the pain you experience in your body, especially in your second, well, the second trimester is the best trimester to do anything.
But towards the end of the second semester, second trimester, trimester, which she will be going into, it is painful. You feel ligaments and your body, you don't want to feel. She's kind of amazing. Oh, she's a badass. The other one's pretty amazing too that isn't on anymore. Um, I just had a baby Lindsey. She bounces back fast. Wow. She had abs while she was pregnant. It's like crazy. She's literally like pregnant, doing those kids hair, making dinner. It's all on I am watching. I get sucked into her TikTok. I'd abs pregnant. Baby came out and then her body was just, like it was pretty legit. Bless her. All right. Here comes the flag. And I'm not mad about it because I love Val more than anything. My whole thing on here, I Val's my top, my top. And more than any celebrity for than any part like dancer, Val. Is it fair that he's literally with Jenna Dewan, who is a professional dancer? Can I? Okay.
I also agree with you. I do think it's slightly unfair. The only caveat I'm going to put in people's heads is for the not ballroom. That's what everyone's it's, but it's not ballroom. Yes. But guess what? It's still like you can go a one, a two, a three, a four. And she's got the count. And she knows the ruling this of choreographed. Whatever the say is our practice. Shantay, Shantay, Pasadob, like, Pasadob, like whatever they say, right? I don't know what they say. Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha. She knows how to do all that. I see her dancing and it's amazing. Yeah. Amazing. Now I'm going to go out of order from our list because simultaneously, Val's wife, Jenna, who I also love is with Harry Shum Jr. So if you guys are like, who's Harry Shum Jr. Well, he's on Grey's Anatomy now. I also think interesting. Maybe he's on Grey's Anatomy now, which I think is interesting to point out because Jenna's on the rookie and Harry's on
Grey's Anatomy. So they're also in the ABC. Harry Shum Jr. was on Glee as the dancer, as the professional dancer. Yeah. So he's literally a professional dancer. And they're going to say the same thing. The ballroom, the dude can do any dancing move ever. So I'm just saying. The casting department said they said, you know what, Jenna Johnson, you know what Val, we're just going to people ever let you do it out and just see who wins. Go, you too. It's going to be a battle between you two. Here's my favorite celebrity on the whole thing because even though I'm old, I still can see how cute he is Taylor Hansen. Yeah. I've had a crush on Taylor Hansen inappropriately, like forever. And he's partnered with Bridge Stewart, which I'm really happy about because it feels like in Brits entire career on Dancing with the Stars, she has always been given a good person. And I want Taylor to do. I just want to shave the beard
because here's why you'll look, you look exactly like you looked during the bomb days. And if you shave that beard, that audience is like, he looks exactly the same. The only thing that ages him up is that beard. So Taylor, just, you know what I do like too is like Jenna Dewan was on step up. And Julia Styles was on Save the Last Dance. They were both like competing movies around the same time too. So I wonder if they brought them back together because they were like back. I think Jenna Dewan is almost as good as any of these pros. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And same with Harry. Yeah. Okay. Then so excited that Sharna's back really truly. I am. I love Sharna. I'm so happy she's back. Five year hiatus. I don't know how to feel like it's not as long. That long. It seemed not as long. Because I think her last time was when she was on with Brian Austin Green 2021. Damn. So her partner is Tyler Cameron. Now I have some hot takes. I'm so excited. I love Tyler Cameron. I don't know. I feel like he's kind of over. No. He just got engaged.
He just got engaged. He's like, I know. But like, was he on the back a hundred years ago? Like, I feel like still in the zeitgeist. He's still cool. I mean fine. But I feel like he was on the thing alone. And this was a great move for him. I think this is a really good idea for him. Who would you hold from the bachelor? Like, we haven't had a bachelor. What are you talking about? We just have Joey Grazzade. Yeah, but he's already there to do it. So a new person to pull from the bachelor franchise. Who would have been? Oh, I see. Sorry. I thought you were saying we haven't had a bachelor person on Dancing with the Stars. No, no, no, I'm just saying every year because usually we should be pulling because they didn't have a shot. Exactly. Usually Taylor Frank Paul. Yeah. I get it. But it's just going to me. He seems like long ago bachelor. I'm just saying. I love that. I love a good throwback. He may surprise me. I'm just calling it as a deal. Okay. So now Connor would. I wasn't as familiar with. But then I get that people really like
him. Is he sort of young influencer type guy? He's a prominent. He's got a calm. Oh my god. What is the one? He's a comedian. Thank you. He's a comedian. A podcast. I was like comedy comedy. Oh, I could not get it out of my brain. And Riley Arnold, whose Lindsay's sister is kind of like real popular right now. Yeah. Didn't she just read her part one time? Who? Didn't Riley Arnold date her partner once? Harry or something. Harry Jalsey. I don't know. I think there were rumors about that. But I don't know if they were like real. I'm up on it. I'm up on it. Brits do it. Married one for partners. Yes. I know. But she married the one. She he's like awesome. He's very awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I can't say any more. So Amber Glenn, I've never heard of and she's with Pasha. And I guess she's a figure skater. But I've never heard of her in my life. Like first time ever here. I went to the Olympics and I love it. You know, it's crazy that I just realized. So all right. So Jenna Johnson and Dal got the
dancers. Yeah. Pasha and Danielle, who are also married. Happy at Olympians. Very nice. Nice. Yeah. Call out their girl. Good job. I earned my dollar today. All right, Real Talk.

And so Val and Jenna are very, very close to Haley and have like kind of, you know, understood this relationship. Find by me, but I'm just like, if I had to say like, sorry, you're going home first, I don't care about Sarah Jane Nader. Okay. There. Only just because I don't know who she is. And I know she's like the younger sister. And for some reason that show irritated me, that reality Nader sister show. Oh, I'm being corrected by our little Risi, her niece, not her cousin. That's even kind of cool. Or though she's her niece. That's cool. Look, I, I love it. So now I'm, I'm, I don't know, I might change my opinion. I just was bored by that reality show. So that's my only thing.
Sorry. I'm just speak the truth. No, no, that's fair. That's fair. Ezra is with Danielle. I don't know how to say her last name. Her, her gosh. And she's a Paralympic track star.

And that's why I want, that's what I'm saying. I remember seeing her as a pro. I am blocking out who her partner was, but I'm curious to see who they gave, like, because you know, maybe it has like a passion. Emma, she's with the baseball person. She's with the bananas guy. That's right. So no, no correlation here. So Geota just opened G something in Brentwood. Love her. I don't love her. Wrap. It's mostly wraps. I don't like a tortilla sandwich. I don't like a cold tortilla. I don't like a non-cooked tortilla. So I don't like a wrap. I like bread. I'm sorry. You can see it right here, but I don't like a wrap. I don't green. Do you know those green tortillas that people like say? I don't like those. That's like a pet peeve for me. I'm like, that's not, that's not
the same. And if you're going to only have that and you don't have bread, I'll just take the innards. I don't, I don't want the cold green tortilla. I'll literally just eat the tortilla with the pickle in it and some lettuce and some tomato and dip it in some mayo. Like, I don't want a green tortilla cold. I don't want a green tortilla hot, but I know. I'll eat a cooked tortilla. And then the last one that I lost to Tiana Lee is partnered with Jan Rovney. So she's from Ohm. I know it. Don't say first principle. Yes. And then she had like a music career. And our good old Jan, I wonder if he was embedded to the wedding. Was he? I think so. Yes. Wedding. Taylors. He's tailors. I can't get a swift. Yeah. Not Taylor. Hands up. Other than I had to really scan the tailors there. I was like, what in the world? No. Did you guys notice that there's no glove? And there's no Sasha. Do you think there's no glad because Starej Nader's a dancer or 100%. She's like, I'm not going to be in contact with that.
I don't ever let Sasha on anymore. I know. And I stand corrected. This is the Julia styles. The pro Ezra is on the show. I'm correct. I'm not. Here's my thing. It seems like a lot of people. That just took a whole show. I think our whole show is like, what? That was so long. No gladness. We're going to have to do two episodes today. I have to do it to be continued because that just took up so much time. Yeah. And I'm not ruined in my whole listen if you want to. With just that, we'll tell you guys a few more things. But like, we're going to have to do a part two. And you guys are going to have to do this. This should be listen if you want to dance you with the stars. And then we do our sure sure sure. Okay. So they have a two night premiere as well, which is they haven't done. I believe they do it last year. But I don't know. There was a time when it was only one night and you only had this many hours. Here's my other note to dance in the stars. Don't get carried away because you used to get carried away and do too many episodes. And then that's what
happened when your ratings went down. So don't get carried away. Leave people wanting more. It's very important. It's very important. I'm wondering if because there's so many they're doing two nights, but maybe it'll dwindle down. And I have a beef. They used to air at five PM. So five PM East Coast. And it used to go live on streaming here on Disney Plus. No, we have to wait till 8 PM. No, they got rid of that a while ago, Jackie. They did that one time where they were like, it's annoying because it's Disney Plus. And then they were all know if you're on the West Coast, your votes don't mean. And you can vote during the right hour. And if you haven't seen that performances, I dropped a funny tidbit. Yeah. That sure. Yeah. I was in labor last year during eight dance and the stars. I still vote it. Tapping. And I text Tara on our team and I'm like, Tara, just I can't look it up. That's so weird. Oh, I vote for Danielle. You're so funny. Oh,
because Danielle. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I was like, I don't have the energy to look. Just tell me. Take my phone. Take my phone. All right, let's do some predictions. Who do we think's the first going home and who do we think's going to win? Okay. Um, first going home. Sarah Jane. Hmm. No, he just said this. One of the Olympians. I guarantee. Giro, no, no, won't be Giro. One of the Olympians. No, the Olympians never go home first. The athletes always Tyler Cameron. Nope. Too many fans. Maybe Giata just because I don't see her dancing well. I love her. Trust me. I'm going to be Giata. I am one of her favorite. She's one of my favorite people. I love her. I just don't think she's going to go far. And who do you think's going to win? I'm going to give it to Harry. I'm going to give it to you. People are mean to women that are good. So I don't think yeah, as talented as Jenna is, I don't think she's going to win. Yeah, because we think Taylor Hansen could win. I'm just saying it. I think he could. Have you guys listened to the Oombop
acoustic version? They of course with the Phil harmonic Jackie lyrics. I listened to it the other day and brought tears because I was like, these lyrics are so beautiful. I can't. I can't. There was like an ABC show years ago. And I don't remember what it was called, but they did an Oombop acoustic version. Oh my god. Oh, it is so beautiful. And this was recent. Like I want to stay within the last year. How do I see this? How do I see this one? I'll find out. I'll find it and send it to you. But I'm literally doing Oombop with symphony. Yes. It literally. Oh, you got it. Got it. Hansen string theory. Let me see. Let me just give a little little little glimpse of it. I love me some Hansen. Hansen's got a lot of songs that people don't know about that are really good. You know who's like the number one Hansen fan? Ashley, I and Kennedy. Oh, yeah. And the lyrics are just so good. I never realized that. I'm telling you that Taylor Hansen's a cutie. I requested him on TRL. But I do think he needs to shave the beard.
Yeah, if he shaves the beard, he'll look exactly like he did. Those boys don't age. I know. And they're on tour and they're doing it. Totally. I'm just one tip to their tour. I think they were like at the some nearby thing to my house. And I was like, I would totally hit a Hansen concert. No problem. December. They don't age. Yeah. Yeah. They're so good. I love them. So I was happy to hear that too. To see that. Well, this is our very special. Listen, if you want to dance with some of this. Jackie. Who was gonna. Oh, my gosh. I'm so rude. So sorry. I'm hoping it'll be Jenna. Because you to win. To win. Yeah. And who's the first to go? And many want to hear yours after Jackie. First to go. I think I agree with you guys. Geada or Connor Levit. Because we had so much Whitney last year that it was like so much Levit's. You know, over. Oh, yeah. How about you, Manny? Oh, boy. Oh, I'm on, Manny.
Oh, Tytheana. To go. Oh, I know. I'm just to go home first. To go home first. Yeah. She was in my bottom couple. See? Yeah. Okay. And have a doing. Wow. It's going to be either Harry or Jenna. I know. Yeah. Kind of agree. I can be a monon Harry. That household man. Bowling Jenna. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, don't move because we'll be back in just a few hours.
