00:00So good to see you guys. I didn't get to talk to you last week, but you were told by Derek

00:05best first dance in the history of Dancing Stars. And then this week you topped the leaderboard

00:12with Whitney and Mark. How are you feeling right now? That's incredible. I honestly don't know

00:17what to say. The last two weeks I've just been in a state of absolute shock. But honestly the

00:23word is just grateful. I'm so grateful, you know, for the judges and for this whole process

00:29but also I'm just grateful to be living out what is a childhood dream and also more than

00:36anything else to be on this journey with Whitney. It's the best. You're in good hands with Whitney.

00:42What kind of advice have you been giving him in these first two weeks of the show?

00:47We haven't seen on TV. Just soak it all in because every moment you won't get back. So

00:53we'll never do the jive like that ever again. We will never do the tango like that again.

00:58So it's just soaking it all in. And you know, all the nerves, that's always going to come.

01:02But just remembering, you know, there's a bigger purpose. It's more than a dance competition.

01:06It's how we make people feel and just being connected as a partnership and hopefully that

01:11works.

01:12A hundred percent.

01:13And, you know, lots of advice. You have a sister.

01:16Yeah, and I guess we kind of get along, you know.

01:18I guess we manage, like, you know.

01:20He's okay.

01:21You would never know.

01:22But I'm sure you're getting a lot of advice.

01:26Bindi, your sister, was clearly a legend in this ballroom.

01:30Did she give you a list of, like, do's and don'ts of Dancing with the Stars, how to get

01:33far in the competition?

01:35Yeah, I mean, Bindi really said and echoed exactly what you just said.

01:38She said, look, really lean into this and really savor every second because she was here

01:43the whole time. She made it the whole three months.

01:45She won and she said it went by in the blink of an eye.

01:48And Bindi is an inspiration to me in so many facets of life.

01:52You know, dancing is one of them.

01:54Yeah.

01:54But in every facet.

01:56She's just always been almost like a second mum to me.

01:58You know, she's just, she's everything to me.

02:00And my family being here to support, to support us, to be here on this journey, it means the

02:06world.

02:07And I tell you what, when we did our first meet, you know, you get a day when you first

02:13meet your partner.

02:14We got back and my whole family were there at the apartment and suffice it to say, there

02:18were a lot of high fives going around.

02:19Everyone was like, oh my gosh, because, you know, it's like the old gangs back together.

02:23It's really cool.

02:24Yeah.

02:25And I mean, I'm sure that's no added pressure to you, but you got to get another urban

02:28Amir ball.

02:29What strategies do you have in place?

02:32Honestly, that is a loaded question.

02:35My gosh.

02:37I always just say, take it one week at a time.

02:39Just be in charge of what you can control.

02:42You know, I'll do my very best and he puts forth his very best effort every day.

02:45So we're just going to continue to do that and focus on each day and we'll see where

02:49that lands us.

02:51And lastly for you guys, next week is the first ever Dancing with the Stars TikTok night.

02:55We're all so excited.

02:57What is it going to entail?

02:58Because the show's never done this before.

02:59There's going to be some TikTok dances happening, you know.

03:01I mean, TikTok is such a huge platform for dance.

03:05So we kind of just want to celebrate that it brings people together.

03:08People want to dance with you.

03:10I mean, that's the joy about dance is you want to do something that gets people up, gets

03:13people moving.

03:14So hopefully it'll just be a really entertaining show and a lot of fun.

03:18It's going to be great.

03:19It's going to be great.

03:20It's going to be really great.

03:20I'm excited.

03:21Well, thank you guys so much.

03:21Hey, Gen Z, all you Gen Z TikTokers, it's going to low-key slap Sigma.
