00:00What have first rehearsals been like with it as difficult as you thought you were?
00:03I know you were a trained dancer, but this is probably something that's totally different.
00:07Well, I've never done ballroom, so that's been very new.
00:10I was humbled immediately.
00:12Honestly, I went in with so much confidence.
00:14I was like, I don't got this.
00:15And then Mark started teaching me the moves.
00:16I was like, I don't got this.
00:18So I've been humbled.
00:19Okay, what is Mark like as a teacher?
00:21Mark is incredible, everything and more.
00:24It's so funny because Mark will show me a step,
00:27and immediately in my mind I'll think, there's just no way.
00:29But he simplifies it to help me learn how to do it.
00:33So then when I do it, I'm like, oh yeah.
00:35He just simplifies everything, which makes it go smooth and seamless.
00:39It's great.
00:40It's great.
00:40What made you want to come back to Susan?
00:43Honestly, well, I had some injury stuff clear up that was kind of slowing me down.
00:48And I also am a new dad, and I really am excited for my son to see daddy do this.
00:55So yeah, my body's feeling good.
00:56Yeah, and just, I love the show.
01:00I love the show.
01:00And I've been able to perform on it a couple times since I stopped.
01:03Like I got to do the awesome tango with Derek.
01:05Me and Charlie did a victory lap, and I got to guest judge last year.
01:08And then after, like, hardcore PT and, like, working on my stuff, like, I'm like, I think
01:13I got a couple more in the tank, and I want my son to watch me do this.
01:18So, yeah.
01:19Oh my god, I love that.
01:20Excited to be back.
01:20What's new dad like?
01:22Have you had playdates yet?
01:23Not yet.
01:24But we've talked about it.
01:25We've talked about it.
01:26And I got to meet baby Billy the other day.
01:27So cute.
01:28So cute.
01:29So cute.
01:30Do you give, like, Derek, be like, Derek, you know, we're besties.
01:33Like, give us some good score.
01:34Well, he just walked past and was like.
01:37The good thing is, like, you know, we've been doing this for so long.
01:39So it's like, you know, he's going to give it to you.
01:42He's going to give it to you how it is.
01:43So, you know, I'm ready for it.
01:45I've been dealing with it for 30 years.
01:47Have the girls been supportive?
01:48Has everybody been on board?
01:50Who's been the most supportive?
01:51Maybe least supportive?
01:52Yeah.
01:52I feel like everyone in MomTalk is so excited for Jen and I because, one, we love dancing.
01:58And also, we've always wanted to be on this show.
02:01So, no, every single one of them is so supportive.
02:03And they're rooting for us.
02:04That's amazing.
02:04Is it a friendly competition between you and Jen?
02:07She said, I talked to her yesterday.
02:08She's like, I don't know.
02:10Maybe it is friendly.
02:11Maybe it's not.
02:11We'll see how it goes.
02:12It's definitely friendly.
02:14But I will be beating her.
02:16Wow.
02:18You're going to have a bragging.
02:19No pressure.
02:20Bragging rights for her.
02:21Yeah.
02:22No, it's so friendly.
02:23But it's also, like, I'm going to push you.
02:26And you, I hope you push me because I want to give it my all.
02:29And I know she does, too.
02:30Sure, definitely.
02:31Biggest fear going into this.
02:32I think just memorizing all of the little steps.
02:35There's just so many little steps that I'm just trying to wrap my brain around.
02:39So, that's what I'm most nervous about.
02:41Totally different than, like, obviously, TikTok dancing and things like that.
02:43Well, yeah.
02:43Because TikTok's, like, 10, 15 seconds.
02:46These are minute pass dances.
02:48So, the stamina, like, I'm trying to get used to, too.
02:51Totally.
02:52Yeah.
02:52I know Taylor said that she wanted to be on next season.
02:54You think that she would be good for this competition as well?
02:56Absolutely.
02:57Yeah.
02:57Yeah.
02:58I mean, MomTalk in general, like, we're go-getters.
03:00So, any one of us on this show, we're going to give it our all.
03:03Met her new man?
03:04I haven't yet.
03:06Okay.
03:06But he's cute.
03:07He feels like a good fit.
03:09Okay.
03:09So, I'm happy for her.
03:10I'm happy for her.
03:10Yeah.
03:10Yeah.
03:11So, I'm happy for her.
