00:00Hi Robert. Hello. Or should I call you Mr. Bonds. Mr. Bonds. I've seen the commercial. Well that's your new name then because I've seen this commercial and I love it. I mean hello Hollywood. What a star. I love it. Oh my gosh. It's amazing.
00:14You know what? Doing an underwear commercial and being on Dancing with the Stars was not on my bingo card. But honestly here we are and I feel like I'm just embracing all the side quests. But this project in particular feels like ten years in the making. And out of everything I've done whether it's being in my undies, catching crocodiles, whatever it is, this is honestly probably the greatest experience of my whole life.
00:38And I'm just so grateful to be here. And it hasn't sunk in yet. I'm still just like what the heck am I doing? This is insane.
00:46And I can tell by the way your energy is so charismatic. You're just so grateful and it really shows. But here's the thing. You said you've never danced before this competition.
00:54And yet two weeks in a row you've wowed everyone. Bindi won season 21. So I have to know where are these dancing genes coming from? Mom or dad sign?
01:01I know. You know where the dance experience comes from? It comes from Whitney. Honestly. I mean seriously out of everything I'm grateful about in this whole experience having a dance partner that is just so incredibly and obviously skilled choreographically just genius but also just an extremely kind human being.
01:24And we're just here to have fun which is the absolute best. Choreographically, is that a word? Choreographically, you're amazing. It's a word now.
01:32Choreographically, it's a word now. Thank you bud. So here's the thing. You're no stranger to wildlife conservation. So what is more intimidating? Wild animals or performing live in this ballroom?
01:41This ballroom is so much more terrifying than a crocodile. Mate, like if a 15 foot croc pulled up right now I'd jump on him no worries at all. You tell me to do a salsa and I'm terrified.
01:52The jungle doesn't judge. I'm sorry.
01:54But I mean, I think we've been navigating it. Oh please. You've been doing so well. What is he like in rehearsals? Does he still have this personality of just overjoyed?
02:04He's exactly how you see him right now. And I've actually tried to like poke and prod and try to get him like a little frustrated because that's like my job as a big sister to just be like, hmm, what's your button?
02:16There's really not any that I've found so far. He just is like pure through and through. I can tell. It's genuine.
02:22But I just come to rehearsal every day so stoked to just spend the day with Whitney and just have the best time and just pour everything into something that's hopefully bringing some positivity to people.
02:36You know, that's what we need.
02:38Now I love that your whole family moved out here to support you. What does Irwin family time look like? Have we tried Chick-fil-A yet?
02:43We know we have not. I had a thought about that. I think we should go to In-N-Out first.
02:49In-N-Out? 100%.
02:50Is that the burger place?
02:51Especially on a dancer's diet. I mean, at least we're getting some protein.
02:53In-N-Out the West Coast. That's like what we have to do first.
02:56Get the carbs in 100%.
02:57But it's been so sweet. Like your family, my family, we've all gotten together and we've all been spending time together.
03:04And it feels like just kindred spirits, you know. It's so wonderful to just, when this show brings together people and just forms these relationships and these friendships that last forever.
