00:02:17whitney levitt welcome to call her daddy this is crazy i want to preface to everyone tuning in tonight
00:02:32that we are currently sitting in this interview and the dancing with the stars finale has yet to happen
00:02:38so we do not know who the winners are and we wish all of the finalists the best of luck yes
00:02:43but whitney yeah i'm here with you tonight yeah can you talk to me about how you have been doing
00:02:50since getting eliminated i i feel a roller coaster of emotions i feel grateful but i also feel sad
00:03:02like something that i think is really important for any fan of dancing with the stars to understand
00:03:10is you are with these people every single day and you're doing really vulnerable things like
00:03:17dancing learning new moves and there's a camera around you 24 7 and then it just stops it just ends
00:03:27and so it felt like a huge breakup for me because and to be honest i didn't even think i was going to
00:03:32make it that far in the show so every at the end of every dance i just wanted to soak it all in enjoy
00:03:38every single moment because i didn't know when it was going to be my last but then when it was it was
00:03:42like oh wait like i wasn't i wasn't prepared for that america was really divided about you as a
00:03:50contestant kind of from day one yeah and when you did get eliminated people were either outraged yeah
00:03:58or they were cheering so thrilled yeah they know there were literally tiktoks and videos being made
00:04:03people saying the war is over so how did it feel to see that many people celebrating you going home i mean
00:04:10i shouldn't say it's not a good thing but i am used to it i am used to the hate and so with season
00:04:19one and season two of secret lives of mormon wives being out like i just didn't think i was
00:04:24gonna make it that far in dancing with the stars because i already knew like the persona that i had
00:04:29in the media so i didn't think people were gonna really vote for me all of this has i genuinely
00:04:36believe created a larger discourse about women online hate bullying reality television and we're gonna
00:04:44get into all of that tonight but first i kind of just want to go back to like when did you first
00:04:50decide that you really wanted to go on dancing with the stars and when this was like an actual goal of
00:04:55yours i've always been a fan of the show it like brought me so much joy i love dancing dancing has
00:05:00always been a part of my life i always say like i feel most like myself when i'm dancing and so never
00:05:06in a million years did i ever think i'd be casted on it like it just felt like an unobtainable dream
00:05:11and like a delusional idea i had in my mind um so then once that chance presented itself to me like
00:05:20i wanted to go after it the moment you realize you get dancing with the stars what did that moment
00:05:25mean to you well when i first found out they called jen's name first so it was like immediate like
00:05:36oh damn it but then they called my name and i was like oh like it's like the heart went down and then
00:05:41it shot right back up um yeah i just i immediately looked at connor ran and like literally jumped on
00:05:49him just because i just i just couldn't believe it like it just it didn't feel real so i want you to
00:05:55kind of go back because you said i was worried because season one and two of secret lives of mormon
00:06:00wives was already out so to anyone that lives under a rock yes you are on another reality show right and
00:06:06can you talk to me a little bit more about how you had concerns that your reputation from that one
00:06:12reality show would bleed into how dancing with the stars fans would feel about you yeah i mean
00:06:18listen i i knew going into reality tv i wasn't going to control the narrative of course i'd love for
00:06:27you to see all the happy days and all the positive things and all the great things that i say and do
00:06:32but i knew going into that that that just doesn't come with the territory with seasons one and two
00:06:38we can say it as it is i'm like the quote-unquote villain and i just felt like in the media like the
00:06:49perspective that i had out there like that's just who i was and so i just felt like that was going to
00:06:54carry with me onto dancing with the stars and for anyone who is not maybe fully clued into secret
00:07:01lives can you just explain a little bit of why you were painted as the villain in season one and two
00:07:06yeah i mean i'm a very like i wear my emotions on my sleeve um i'm very open and sometimes that bites
00:07:15me in the ass um and in season one and season two like sure there were decisions that i made that i
00:07:23wasn't happy about but they were very petty things like not showing up to an event to support a friend
00:07:30unfollowing people it was very just very petty things and then with that and with like being in
00:07:35this reality world like just i think people love giving someone that title and that title was given
00:07:41to me would you do anything differently when it comes to season one and two when you look back i mean
00:07:46yeah of course i'd look back and i'd be like well i probably shouldn't have said that i probably
00:07:50shouldn't have done that absolutely uh life would be a lot easier if we could just be like you know
00:07:55what let me just push the rewind button and let me get a redo on that one that would be incredible
00:08:00um but that's just not what happened okay dancing with the stars take me to the first few weeks
00:08:05how do you think the fans felt about you um
00:08:08i just wasn't sure like we don't see the votes like i don't know like where i stand every single
00:08:19tuesday but i mean mark will even tell you like the first tuesday like i was like man like i just
00:08:24really want to enjoy this one dance because i might be going home tonight um but that's how i felt every
00:08:30single tuesday like i just i wanted to soak up every single dance because i just didn't know when it was
00:08:34going to end so as you start to kind of go through this experience what were you in the initial days
00:08:39loving the most oh the beginning i loved the beginning because actually sorry yes to answer
00:08:45your previous question in the beginning it was lots of love and i was like oh my god like i'm not used to
00:08:53this like this is so crazy like um mark is such a wonderful person like i know he like he's a fan
00:09:00favorite on the show like everybody loves him um and so i felt that love and it was exciting and we
00:09:07were learning these dances and it was just like yeah i was experiencing everything for the first time
00:09:11some early criticism that you received was around your previous dance experience yes can you just
00:09:19clarify for all of us what is exactly your previous dance experience with me i um so i think what people
00:09:29were so hung up on is my modern dance degree um i got that at brigham young university that's a mormon
00:09:37college very conservative modern is like lots of shape it's very artsy fartsy is the best way that i
00:09:46can describe it um but as far as like like that's as that's as far as it went like i dancing with a
00:09:56partner in this capacity is like so new to me so different of course that background helped learning
00:10:03different techniques but this was still very new to me yeah and before going on the show yeah how much
00:10:09were you actively keeping up with dance well i um at the time when i had found out my baby was six
00:10:19months old so after i had kids i wasn't dancing like i wasn't dancing rigorously because i went to
00:10:25college and then i just started having babies i have three kids um i have a six-year-old a four-year-old
00:10:31and my baby just turned one so yeah i went to college i started a family and i wasn't dancing
00:10:36of course i was making like tiktoks and that was like my outlet and then i found out and i was like
00:10:45hey like it's go time so you weren't actively dancing no i wasn't professionally yeah like i'd like
00:10:51go take a class maybe every once in a while but no i wasn't actively dancing regardless you quickly
00:10:56became a front runner out of the gate you and mark were getting some of the highest scores the entire
00:11:01season when do you feel the shift i feel like the shift happened after week five i feel like that that's
00:11:10when it happened and it was like there was a moment where mark and i were out of sync for like a
00:11:17little section in one of our dances and then i don't know there was like this up where it's like
00:11:24ah like see like she isn't good or like and then it just like exploded and then it just went south
00:11:32so that's one shift and then there's the obvious shift a week before the semi-finals season three
00:11:41of the secret lives of mormon wives heirs yeah and the online discourse completely explodes about you
00:11:50was there anything that you were aware of and nervous for fans to see that was going to come out
00:11:56i mean i was very clear why i came back that season was very candid um and i just i wasn't sure how people
00:12:07were gonna take it and it felt like it was 50 50 like you either had respect for it or you were
00:12:12either were like oh my gosh okay so let's talk about that the backlash that really was i feel
00:12:17like the front runner of the core of why people first got so upset when the season came out was
00:12:22you revealed that the only reason that you returned to secret lives was because you wanted
00:12:28to get cast on dancing with the stars why do you think that was so controversial at least from what
00:12:34i've seen i think people thought that i was like exploiting a friend group but that wasn't at all
00:12:39i mean there's even a scene that i watched there's a scene of me and taylor were um getting glammed for
00:12:46something i don't oh it was for pr we were getting glammed for pr and she's asking me and she's like
00:12:50well the women only think that you're back for to audition for a chance to be on dancing with the stars
00:12:57and i was like that's exactly right like that's exactly why i'm back like i was very honest very clear
00:13:01like i wasn't trying to mislead or be sneaky about anything like i was very clear about my
00:13:07intentions coming back clearly they felt like that was off-putting right they're like you're not here
00:13:11for the sisterhood you're here to make money what is your response to that well there's history with
00:13:17that because after season one and then filming season two there was an effort to rebuild those
00:13:26friendships and it didn't feel reciprocated so i was just trying to figure out how to navigate that
00:13:31like okay like where am i going now in this experience because it doesn't feel like
00:13:37i am wanted in this experience um and so going back with season three i just had a different mindset
00:13:45and i was honest about the mindset well which i think a lot of people respect it they're like
00:13:50would you rather you lie and you're like completely fake no you're just like being real and you're being
00:13:55like this is exactly why i'm here take it or leave it right um you said quote you were treating
00:14:00secret lives like a business opportunity is what you're saying how do you think that impacted your
00:14:06relationship with the rest of mom talk well going back the beginning days of mom talk i fell in love
00:14:16with mom talk because i love the camaraderie i know it's so cheesy i know they're like cheesy
00:14:20little tiktoks but that was an outlet for me because i love the camaraderie of entertainment like
00:14:25it takes like even right now like so many people the lighting the filming the microphones like the
00:14:31audio like it takes so much to create even what we're creating right now and like i have so much
00:14:35respect for that and passion for it and i know it was so cheesy but i loved that about mom talk i was
00:14:40like the camaraderie of us getting together and like making a something entertaining for somebody
00:14:44to watch at home like i loved that and then it just shifted it just wasn't that for me anymore
00:14:50and so i didn't know how to navigate that um and i didn't even know how the other women felt about
00:14:58it so i would just tell myself okay well let me just be honest about my intentions because i don't
00:15:04know where we stand it doesn't feel like you want me here so here's my intentions of being here
00:15:11do you think that your approach to the sisterhood is completely different than all of the other women
00:15:21i'm not sure because i would hope that we were all wanting more from being so vulnerable and sharing
00:15:31our lives to the world yes it may have started as one thing but i don't know any reality show that
00:15:37doesn't transform in some capacity well and it already has for a lot of the women like macy has
00:15:42her book taylor's the bachelorette like she was just on here announcing that like there's so many
00:15:46things even now happening for all of the women and i would hope that for all of us that we could use
00:15:52this experience to then venture out to other things that we were wanting yeah um do you think
00:15:57you got a fair edit this season on secret lives of season three i do i really do i think um you know
00:16:04and and going back like i i wanted to be honest i wanted to be real and i and i feel like it was
00:16:10is there anything with regard to this new season that you want to set the record straight on
00:16:14i mean yeah i guess i'll double down on that like like when the producers called me because i had
00:16:23stepped away from the experience like when they called me and they were like hey you come back and
00:16:28film you will have a chance to audition to be on dancing with the stars and i said fuck yeah
00:16:34i will be back for that you wouldn't yeah because it's a job at the end of the day yes it is right
00:16:41like i understand that there's more there is relationship there in the group um so i could
00:16:46totally understand why it was off-putting for some of the women but that's just where we were at the
00:16:52time i mean obviously now friendships are different now like we've rebuilt we're rebuilding those right
00:16:59now but at the time it wasn't that you were not the only woman like you mentioned earlier from secret
00:17:04lives who was on dancing with the stars this season jen affleck was also a part of the show
00:17:10how did you feel that you were both cast we actually didn't see each other a lot like we our rehearsal
00:17:18schedules didn't really match up um i saw her on show days i saw her on blocking sometimes um and yeah
00:17:25i mean i'm sure that she enjoyed this experience just as much as i did jen said quote the minute
00:17:31there's an opportunity you say you've always wanted it and implied that you only wanted to
00:17:36audition for dancing with the stars because she did what is your response to that um oh that that i only
00:17:45want to audition because she did yeah oh um that's wild i always wanted to be a part of this show
00:17:53i think that everybody can have the same dream everyone can have the same goal and we just happen
00:17:59to have the same dream and the same goal and i'm so happy that we both got to do that okay well we need
00:18:05to talk about her elimination yeah because this was one of again these moments where there are slow-mo
00:18:12videos of you reacting to when jen gets eliminated and we have basically a moment where it looks like
00:18:19you're smirking and then you cover your mouth like describe what was going through your head and
00:18:24what actually happened yeah um i thought i was getting eliminated every tuesday every single tuesday
00:18:33i was like mentally preparing myself so in that moment i felt two emotions like it was one where it was
00:18:42like oh my god they didn't call my name but oh my god now my friend's going home like two emotions
00:18:48in that moment and i think you know it's like it's a relief and then it's like oh wait but now
00:18:53somebody's going home and now is leaving this experience so when you went to smile that feeling
00:18:58was what i like it's funny like i don't remember smiling um but if anything it was relief like oh they
00:19:06didn't call my name like i get to do this one more week but oh now somebody has to go home right i hate
00:19:11that they don't get experience this anymore and so there was no excitement that jen was getting
00:19:17eliminated absolutely not okay no no excitement there's never excitement when anyone gets
00:19:22eliminated but there's definitely relief like when they don't call your name in that moment you're
00:19:26like i get to do this one more week but then we all go and we you know i even experienced everybody
00:19:31comes and they hug me like of course they were all relieved that they all made it to the final
00:19:35and then it wasn't them but then they're also sad because somebody has to go home jen went on tiktok
00:19:42live after her elimination and said quote i would be rooting for a former mom talk person but we won't
00:19:48be getting into that how does that make you feel that she's essentially coming out and saying i'm not
00:19:55gonna vote for whitney right i'm not gonna root for her i mean this is the thing jen understands what
00:20:05it's like being in the public eye being in the reality space getting the hate like she's experienced
00:20:11it so i mean it sucked it didn't feel great that she fed into that that she decided to go on a live
00:20:17and say yeah i'm not gonna vote for her i mean she could have just said who she was voting for she
00:20:23didn't need to say who she wasn't voting for and then to go and press like there's definitely more
00:20:28story there but can you just help us understand a little bit more though like what is going on between
00:20:34you and jen and what is your current relationship um the relationship's not great i don't really
00:20:40even know if there is one right now um there was a lot that happened while we were doing dancing with
00:20:46the stars we were also filming secret lives during the time so i know um like the audience is going
00:20:54to be able to see that story when that comes out next year got it so we're going to probably see that
00:20:58on season four and that's something you can't fully talk about yeah so there is something going on
00:21:02with jen yeah we just can't fully talk about it yet right and when we see that story are you looking
00:21:08forward to that story coming out and more clarity or are you nervous about it um both because i just
00:21:15think feelings were hurt and on both sides and there wasn't a mutual understanding but i can tell you
00:21:22what i didn't do i didn't go online and say i'm not supporting you and i'm not rooting for you
00:21:26um yeah it just sucked what terms are you on with the rest of mom talk great okay everyone's great
00:21:36like there's so much support while i was doing dancing with the stars like so much love so much
00:21:41like even after i got eliminated everyone texting me checking in on me like great every i'm loving
00:21:48where the group's at right now i'm loving it you're like thank god who would you say you're closest to
00:21:55right now the women that i'm closest to right now in the group are demi layla and surprisingly
00:22:00michaela which i don't think anyone would have never thought a million years i definitely would
00:22:05have but i'm very very grateful like where we're at right now in our relationship yeah we have touched
00:22:10on some of the secret lives drama and how it affected the season of dancing with the stars but there were
00:22:16so many more moments that you went through the good the bad the ugly but you went through it with
00:22:23someone yeah so i feel like we cannot continue this interview without including him about the

00:24:09i feel like the dances came together um for a semi-final a little easier than typically but i don't
00:24:16know about it was like time for the live show and like something just fell off time for the live show
00:24:21and we had just said to each other for what let's just go out let's let's enjoy ourselves let's have
00:24:26fun go for it like let your hair down enjoy this because we just had a feeling we're going to circle
00:24:31back because i want to get to the elimination but first we need to go back to the beginning of your

00:25:08after the elimination i kind of just like got off and like i i have a wife and a son and i wanted to

00:25:32would hope that you would get paired up with i mean i didn't even know that mark was coming back
00:25:37i love how you just reminded all of us we all thought maybe you retired right you kind of
00:25:42announced i did that you were retired how did you decide to come back this is a loaded question
00:25:47mark i'm ready i'll try and give it to you quick okay so um i had taken a break from the show um
00:25:54before my last season in 31 where i danced with charlie d'amelio um obviously there was a global
00:25:58pandemic so everyone was taking a break i had also you know i went to musical theater college
00:26:03i was on broadway i was in a couple of other shows my wife and i were trying to start a family
00:26:07and there's just like other things that play and i also like you know there is this narrative like
00:26:12mark only comes back when he does that i did 19 seasons in a row that's a lot and and i um
00:26:19over that time i had taken on some injuries knees back necks wrist like all of it it all hurts
00:26:26you know and i'm 40 next year you know i'm gonna turn 40 next year so um when i found like
00:26:32love my relationship with rob mills dina katz forever and conrad green who is our producer at
00:26:37the moment he um had called me for season 31 and said would you ever be interested and i was like
00:26:44well are you on the show he's like yeah i'm coming back too and i was like oh well let me think about
00:26:47it um and then you know i was like why not like why not why not so we um we ended up doing season 31
00:26:56i didn't have much time to get into shape for it i ended my partner ended up being charlie d'amelio
00:27:00had no idea going into that um that worked out we had we had a wonderful season together but i i'm not
00:27:06gonna lie like my wife will tell you the amount of epsom salt baths and i had some pretty bad injuries
00:27:11and my lower back had been really bothering me for a while and um actually during that season
00:27:17uh my wife went through we we found out we were my wife was pregnant and uh we ended up losing our
00:27:23baby before the semi-final so i had to leave like her having you know the the um uh the appointment to
00:27:33have the baby removed to come dance for the semi-final and then go on and i was that had kind of like
00:27:39just taken it out of me and i just had body injuries that had really really um affected me
00:27:46and after that one i was like maybe i'm maybe i'm done i feel like in the moment i had made an
00:27:51emotional decision like because i announced at the tour like this might be the last one blah blah
00:27:55and then fast forward and a happier note my wife ends up getting pregnant we have our son banksy now
00:28:02and when he was born i was like no i'm not gonna be dad who's like i used to be a dancer and i can't
00:28:09play soccer or throw a baseball you know so like i was really diligent about getting in shape pt
00:28:14working hard getting into it and then um my body started feeling good again like it will never be
00:28:20perfect again but i was feeling like i could still like oh this feels like how it used to this could
00:28:25maybe you know so then i was entertaining the idea of coming back and i reached out to people and said
00:28:30i think i got a couple more in the tank and um here we are you know thank you for sharing that
00:28:35because i think it just adds color to we do not know what anyone is going through during these
00:28:42experiences and to hear and listen i've seen it all over line of everyone being like mark only comes
00:28:48back when he knows he's gonna get a good partner i am not privy to the cast like which one do you
00:28:54want you know what i mean the show is the show it keeps it moving and um you know i've been happy to
00:29:00be a part of it for so long it's been a big part of my life it's given me so many amazing opportunities
00:29:05and i've had partners of all levels so what was your reaction when you found out your partner was
00:29:10whitney i mean and we've talked we've talked about this many times like i'd never seen the show before
00:29:15i had no um again like i wasn't really on like i'm on social media but i'm not you know like
00:29:22mark you're not a mom talk yeah what the hell i mean i am now i know the moves now uh but um you
00:29:30know i uh i was just excited to to be back and to be out there with my fellow pros and like you know
00:29:38just ready for the experience again i've done this so many times that like let's go bring it on like
00:29:44i've again like i've had partners at all different levels so i was i was once i met her we kind of hit
00:29:49it off pretty pretty quickly we had fun and like we laugh a lot we um roast each other all day yeah
00:29:54which is fun for me i love the banter you know whitney yeah how would you describe mark as a coach
00:30:00you can let it rip now because absolutely um mark is so good at showing you what you can do
00:30:14and there'd be so many times where i'm like there's just no way like i don't what are you
00:30:20talking about but he pushes you he's gonna push you he's gonna be hard on you because he believes
00:30:26that you can do that and then i'll do it and then i'd be like yeah fuck yeah you know um and i needed
00:30:32that what is the biggest challenge that the two of you had to overcome in the early days to really
00:30:40make this partnership work we vibed right away yeah like we just like hit it off like i just
00:30:45think sometimes people just naturally connect and we naturally connected but i actually feel like the
00:30:49hardest thing in our relationship was the hate that we got online yeah like i had experienced it
00:30:55but having someone that i loved and care about so much like experience that like in turn hurt me
00:31:01and then we experienced it together um that was probably the hardest part can we talk about that
00:31:09though because it's like take me to week one because i'm assuming that week one was not
00:31:14completely clouded by this hatred yet because it grew and it grew and it grew it was fun what was
00:31:19week one like and how were you guys nervous did you feel prepared well i also want to preface this
00:31:24as well like and i know kind of mentioned this before like a big part of me wanting to do this
00:31:29season too is that my son is old enough to understand you know and it's like i'm again i'm
00:31:36turning 40 next year i don't know how much longer i can like do this at the level where i can watch
00:31:40myself back and be like i can still do it so i was really excited for my son to like watch it and be
00:31:47like that's my dad you know what i mean even he's only two but he can still like when we watch the
00:31:52dances back he points at the screen he's like daddy you know what i mean so i was like super excited for
00:31:57that so yeah the first four weeks i felt like we're a blast like we did that first tango to golden and
00:32:04then it was the play that funky music cha-cha yeah that's what i told alex too i said like week five
00:32:08was when yeah it was around like so you were on a high at first yeah like great you're getting some
00:32:12of the highest scores you're you're vibing together um i did ask whitney about this earlier and i want
00:32:18to get your take mark though one of the things that people really focused on with whitney was her dance
00:32:23background yeah and there was a lot of conversation whether or not she had an unfair advantage what is
00:32:28your take um my take is that is that the show again we're in season 34 and i feel like when you
00:32:37look at the graph of the people new fans watching it is off the scale so there are a lot of people
00:32:42watching for the first time um i can tell you from someone who's been a part of the show since season
00:32:48five that i don't think you could tell me one season where there hasn't been someone with dance
00:32:52experience like like when you're casting one of these shows you're it's called dancing with the
00:32:57stars you're picking people that are known from their fields and mostly all derived from the
00:33:02entertainment industry or they're an athlete or they're on television and i would say if you're
00:33:07trying to pick 12 to 14 celebrities in the entertainment industry someone's gonna have dance
00:33:12experience you know and i can tell you from season two mario lopez sabrina brian my first partner
00:33:19nicole scherzing or jordan fisher um you know we've had ice skaters we've had olympic olympic
00:33:24gymnast charlie d'amelio jojo siwa um jennifer gray this season we have a few people also with dance
00:33:30experience um the thing i think that for whitney specifically if we're talking about in this
00:33:36context that i think for people was like oh wow like it's really powerful is that she is a dynamic
00:33:43performer and that's something that i can't teach you're born with that you're born with when you
00:33:50walk in the room you're like let's get it like you like you know what i mean like you can develop it
00:33:54over time and you'll see there's some great dancers whose technique is just like whoa and then you have
00:34:00some dancers whose performance quality is like whoa and it's like the the goal is to try and bridge the
00:34:06two together and that takes time like a fine example is that your first week to cha-cha to play
00:34:12that funky music compared to your prince knight cha-cha like to a coach or someone that's in this field
00:34:18like it's night and day but the performance quality is the same still there you know let's talk about
00:34:24improvement yeah because this was one of the biggest conversations online as to why people should
00:34:31still be there why they shouldn't be there um fans understandably are looking for the stars to
00:34:38improve yeah as the show goes on with their coach but this season it felt like whitney was penalized
00:34:45because she started off very strong right mark what is your take on this again my my take on the
00:34:54improvement thing is like to me as a coach like and i this is not a biased thing like she will tell
00:35:01you in rehearsal i am relentless in the pursuit of making things get better like like even today
00:35:10when we were rehearsing for this what we start talking about pivoting your feet and i was like
00:35:14it's week 11 you know like there's things that we're constantly always trying to iron in and this is for
00:35:21all the professionals the professionals in our show do such a fabulous job at taking anyone at their level
00:35:27and improving them now when someone has a little bit less experience the improvement can look like
00:35:32this right but if we look at the cha-cha one to cha-cha two it's night and days between leg action
00:35:39footwork tightness and turns even as your partner like sometimes i felt like i would have to like
00:35:45hone you in a little bit out there on the floor if we look at her vini's waltz
00:35:49frame like the ballroom frame compared to like your tango week one there's like huge improvements
00:35:55there you know you're coming out so strong i'm curious if you think that this is gonna affect how
00:36:02contestants strategize moving forward here's what i'll say i'm sure i can't speak for other people's
00:36:08strategy or how they approach the competition i can only speak from experience for mine and and we
00:36:14talked about this at the beginning my strategy is always do your fucking best yeah come out swinging
00:36:21do the best you can because the reality is i'm gonna tell you right now this is not the first time
00:36:26that someone who is an amazing incredible dynamic performer has been eliminated early it happened to
00:36:32me in season five with sabrina bryan but this is the first time i feel like it's happened with this
00:36:37new tiktok and instagram hype like this has been happening on dancing with the stars so to underserve yourself
00:36:44to underserve your performance for strategy i just don't think it's the move like i feel like if
00:36:50you can do the dance and you feel good like do your best you just don't know because you don't know if
00:36:55you're getting the votes you know great great advice um a controversy that both of you experienced
00:37:02this season was around the ticket giveaway we have to address it how do you think this affected
00:37:08your guys standing on the show who's taking it i'll take it okay thanks mark you're like you go
00:37:15i'm gonna paint this picture for you right when this came up i promise you it was super innocent it was
00:37:22just like so casual so casual yeah we had talked to teams about it hey we want to do a fun giveaway
00:37:27other people had done giveaways but there's context to it right i'll tell you when when i was
00:37:35when we talked about it i was in the middle of putting three dances together it was what week
00:37:40was it it was the um the marathon it was the marathon week so your dance was brain studio the
00:37:46halloween dance and the hustle and the lindy hop right so all my energy was into that and we were
00:37:53like hey could we do something fun give away for friends yeah let's do it come on sure fine
00:37:57probably in hindsight should have checked like in this context um there was only two tickets to
00:38:05give away we've given away tickets to fans lots of times um the um there was no there was no
00:38:13prove to us you're voting for us i think whitney articulated even in the video like even if you're
00:38:18not voting for us this is an experience for everyone it's just meant to be a bit of fun it was two
00:38:23tickets like when it all got that backlash crazy i was like you know what guys like
00:38:27me and my wife just won't vote for me and it'll cancel itself out what do you think really got
00:38:32misconstrued about that entire situation just like the gravity of it and how much effect it would have
00:38:38i'm actually not sure and like probably on me a little bit like after so many seasons i probably
00:38:43should have ran it up the flagship and and be like hey is it cool to do this but i just didn't
00:38:46think like well it seemed for me too we just had so much on our plate yeah we were just like excited
00:38:50to do it but it wasn't our tickets to give away and yeah and and it was like posted a dumb photo
00:38:56of me in the comments and we'll pick someone at random and um i probably should have checked so
00:39:00i'll take accountability for that because i've been on the show for so long but in the moment three
00:39:04dances five days to do it i just just didn't think support for call her daddy comes from google pixel
00:39:11okay so i recently had one of those sundays where i convinced myself it was a great idea to reorganize
00:39:18my entire closet and of course halfway through i found myself sitting on the floor surrounded by
00:39:23clothes completely overwhelmed so i pulled out my google pixel 10 because it comes with gemini
00:39:30built in on the phone i launched my camera using gemini live showed it my crazy closet and asked for
00:39:39help and it immediately hit me up with all sorts of pro organizing tips like what to hang how to fold
00:39:47stuff and even helped me decide which items to donate and where to drop them off it was a lifesaver
00:39:54but while i was neck deep in hoodies i totally lost track of time until i got a text from matt asking hey
00:40:01what's the address for dinner tonight fortunately the google pixel has this feature called magic queue
00:40:07that just pulls up the info you need without you having to dig through old emails and stuff
00:40:12it popped the address right into my text for me and tap it was sent daddy gang we could all use a
00:40:21little help making sundays less scary so get outside of your comfort phone and try google pixel 10 pro
00:40:30check it out at google store.com these ai features are for users 18 plus check responses availability
00:40:38and results may vary i want to do a couple rapid fire moments just answer whatever comes to your
00:40:44mind okay okay at the same time or one at a time both of you answer okay what was the hardest dance
00:40:50to learn argentine tango i knew you were gonna say what would you say you probably that one yeah
00:40:57argentine tango what dance are you the most proud of argentine tango and argentine tango and the
00:41:03hamilton fox i love that dance but i also love the dance we did to the green day song that was
00:41:09super cool oh yeah what's a dance move that almost got you injured in rehearsal the argentine tango
00:41:15ending lift i'm i'm telling you right now that argentine tango at least my knees like just bruises
00:41:20because when you do those little flickity dickities like you run into each other and so the amount of
00:41:26bruises i had all over my legs the trick at the end you should like roll clip now like yeah she does this
00:41:31like helicopter thing and then her leg actually wraps around my knee and i go to the knee i wore
00:41:36two knee pads because i'm not going down because of the speed it comes at like it's you know it's a
00:41:43it was a i was very nervous all day i was even when my wife comes my wife comes to the show and she
00:41:48hangs out with me before a little bit and she's how you doing i was like this one's this one's high
00:41:52risk yeah so when we hit that final pose i was like yeah yeah i started laughing yeah what dance
00:41:58do you think the judges robbed you on this is fun this is fun this is fun we're not okay it's not
00:42:05petty i'm forcing them to answer it okay no one come for us
00:42:09you want me to answer no i'm not saying i did not i did not wouldn't he say it
00:42:17okay i'm gonna say it go on whatever you guys are so scarred from the internet like hating you
00:42:29that you're like nothing it was perfect okay ask me again and i'll say it say it okay um i feel like
00:42:36the second time we did the cha-cha when we did our last dance like i was like so honed in on that one
00:42:41like i thought for sure we were gonna get a perfect score so that one for me i was a bit bummed that we
00:42:46get a perfect score on that one hey well mark you still have to answer i mean you know i would
00:42:52probably um uh dang yeah would you agree with me on the cha-cha yeah i think you know what okay
00:43:01i'll say this okay i'll say this because we got dropped to a nine on that dance and nine ten ten
00:43:06is a great score by the way right let's just get that out yes like we love the judges but like it
00:43:13it was the uh i think the the comment of like it was focusing too much on the technique and i was
00:43:19like okay like let me go back as a as a coach that's my job let me go back and when i watched
00:43:23it back she looked she was having the time of her life that face was like lit up so you know
00:43:28no that's a good answer who was the harshest judge oh
00:43:32and we're not putting this judge down just like no i mean the simon cowl of like who was the person
00:43:39you're like oh like i need them to i want them to mine mine changed mine changed in the beginning i
00:43:44felt like it was derrick and then towards the end for me it felt like it was carianne what is your
00:43:49take mark on all of the backlash that carianne did receive this past season people commenting on her
00:43:56looks or like people well that's that's i i hate that yeah because carianne is a lovely person and
00:44:02you know i've known her a very long time and like get going getting that like again this is a fun
00:44:08dance competition show it's meant to bring joy it's meant to bring happiness and she's been employed
00:44:13to judge and give her critiques and give her opinion and obviously again taste is not a debatable
00:44:20subject and not everyone's going to agree with what she has to say but i feel like tearing you know
00:44:24a woman down that's doing her job is it's not right um we now need to get to the elimination
00:44:30yes you both said you felt it coming yeah was it because you didn't feel as good about your dance
00:44:35were you in your heads about social media no like i i felt our dances were solid like that i was excited
00:44:42being these waltz that we did like that was one of my favorite dances that we've done like i was so
00:44:47excited to perform that dance it was just it just felt off like something just it didn't feel like
00:44:53the other tuesdays that we had had like it just felt off for me one thing i'll tell you is like
00:44:57i'm a i'm an over-rehearser i like to rehearse to the point where it's just so ingrained in your
00:45:04body i hate leaving things to chance might be old school but that's how i was raised when i was
00:45:08dancing it's just you rehearse it rehearse it so you don't have to think and in between our first
00:45:12dance and second one we were over at the other side running it through and you got i could you were
00:45:18just emotional and like i could tell that um you felt something i kind of had to go into football
00:45:25coach mode at that point where i was just like you can do that you know like backstage because i'm
00:45:31starting to get worried that she's gonna go out there and black out now but you guys we would be
00:45:34remiss to not acknowledge the fact that secret lives came out the week before the internet is
00:45:42absolutely tearing you apart like even if you were trying to put it to the back of your mind
00:45:47how could it not be like somewhat in your body where you're going home you're looking at your phone
00:45:52you know what i mean and i think too like when we were on the backstage rehearsing it endlessly
00:45:58i had felt like that this was our last dance which in turn like made it a little bit more emotional
00:46:05interesting well you guys scored a 58 out of 60 for your two performances but america still sent you
00:46:14home which was one of the highest scores that night yeah why do you ultimately think that you were
00:46:19eliminated oh i don't know i like what you mean like what led us like not getting the votes you
00:46:26think i don't know i mean i would if i was speculating i would say yeah maybe secret lives
00:46:36because it was such a huge divide like you either really loved me for that or you really hated me for
00:46:40that so maybe it swayed some people like i don't know um yeah what do you think i've just done this
00:46:48for so long like on dancing like it's i i couldn't pinpoint it and i would hate to say it was secret
00:46:55lives or it was this because you know secret lives aside again i'm not too privy to all the stuff on
00:47:00that but this show has had its fan base for 20 years the show has been going now like we just had the
00:47:0820th birthday for the show you know and we've had loyal fans that have been with us for a very long time
00:47:13and sometimes this shit happens you know and it's like i think with such a stacked
00:47:21cast and really great talent great talent all around um you get to the point where we don't we
00:47:30don't know the votes like whitney said earlier but like i'm assuming like i'm assuming it's going like
00:47:35this like one week someone might just have a number that really moves somebody and maybe some
00:47:39weeks someone who's been voting one way will be like you know what i'm gonna throw these votes this
00:47:43way and i i i couldn't even pinpoint it to one thing i think you know with the intensity of the
00:47:50show and how big it's gotten which i love so much you know everybody's been getting like backlash
00:47:55online it wasn't just us yes ours was very intense but when something's this big i'm sure as you know
00:48:00like there's always going to be naysayers there's always going to be people like hating on you
00:48:04um i think there was just like a window of weeks where it was just like god damn well god damn
00:48:11well that's what i was gonna say because a lot of people online are like you can't vote people off so
00:48:18on dancing with the stars yeah the point is to vote for your favorite star and your favorite pair
00:48:25correct to advance in the competition we all know that yes but this season maybe because of social
00:48:33media and how there are so many conversations going on on the side that maybe people weren't
00:48:37able to have in the past but this season people started to actively ban together online and we're
00:48:46saying let's vote for everyone but yes except for whitney and mark correct and so there was a
00:48:53gamification happening where then technically you're like no so you are kind of trying to vote someone off
00:48:57because you're voting for everyone not just your favorite star everyone but you right when did you
00:49:03guys first realize this was happening um probably week five yeah like because i was like even for me
00:49:10i've been on the show for so long like when i would see those comments i'm like oh you must be new like
00:49:15you can't vote somebody off like that doesn't exist um however over the years the voting systems has
00:49:21changed we used to have two shows two shows a week meaning um there would be a result show the next day
00:49:27we don't have that at the moment um and you know the votes when the show's live you can vote right
00:49:32but then as the discourse continued i did see like oh that's the loophole is that they vote for
00:49:38everyone but and i would like honestly for me i was like a oh moment after like again i always say
00:49:48there's not much that surprises me on this show because i've done it for so long that was that was
00:49:52new info for me i was like wow okay how did that affect your dancing then you guys are in these
00:49:57rooms together trying your hardest to prepare but then you're also like the internet is literally
00:50:03gamifying this and finding the loophole of how to vote for everyone but i was like
00:50:07did it affect your morale in terms of like is it even worth giving it our all if we know that this is
00:50:14the way it's gonna go yeah like people are laughing so you don't start crying yeah like
00:50:20this is the thing like um and this is what at least for me i was so grateful with this friendship is
00:50:27because there would be a day where maybe like it really got to me and then mark would be like no
00:50:32like let's let's keep working our asses off and just like put great work out on that stage and then
00:50:38other days it would shift like and then mark would be having a really hard day and i'm like
00:50:42no let's work our asses off and like go put out some really great shit um like luckily i feel like
00:50:49there was never a day where it was both of us because i think if it was ever at that point like
00:50:53that would have been really hard i think the tipping point honestly for me was i was putting my son to
00:50:59bed and like literally i was like putting him to bed and then as at like seconds after i did that i
00:51:07opened my phone to just the wildest video if you don't mind could you share maybe some of the
00:51:14comments that got to you guys the most oh um i could read you one actually
00:51:20it's the one that you just got yeah oh wow it's wild okay um this is really heavy do you do i'm ready
00:51:30you can edit it out if you don't know but like this is one that i just got like randomly okay like
00:51:36are you this is after one of our dances are you that cheap of a cunt to rot and do this damn you're
00:51:42special you're completely worth this and i hope you fucking burn in hell one day that's just one of
00:51:48them and that's they're relentless like that
00:51:54over a dance show
00:51:58guys
00:52:02like i i'm at i actually just have like full body chills because i'm like i i understand again like
00:52:10you're watching this through cameras and there's a you're sitting at home and this is fun and it's
00:52:15the night before thanksgiving and people watching but like guys this is like horrible shit over again
00:52:21a dance show like and i'm not even putting it down it's like keep in mind what it's supposed to
00:52:26be it's supposed to bring people happiness and together and so to be sending that level of
00:52:31hatreds for what what have you done i think also the thing is it's like
00:52:35i think there's a narrative of like well you wanted to be in the entertainment industry you signed up for
00:52:43this no you don't sign up for that i didn't know no human beings i signed up to dance to choreograph
00:52:47to make music to be on stage to entertain people to bring happiness to bring joy mark even if
00:52:51they said your dance was horrible i didn't like that dance that wasn't good yes fair right that
00:52:58totally right love that i i i have dances where i watch mine back and i'm like i hate that it's
00:53:02horrible not good not good and and that's the great that's the fun part right it's like art is
00:53:06meant to be subjective i'm well aware people aren't going to like everything that i make
00:53:10and that's okay i'm really sorry though that's not healthy and that's not normal and again
00:53:17unveiling it's like people can read what they want but then they get to go to bed you're sitting
00:53:21with your son and you're reading these things about yourself and so then to get up the next
00:53:26morning and then now let's turn to you what are some of the comments you were getting i will say
00:53:32i've definitely become a little bit more desensitized to it yeah um because i've experienced it
00:53:40for years um but i think like what was a little bit triggering was watching someone experience that
00:53:50for the first time for something for what like it just it made no sense to me and then i also at times
00:53:58felt like it was my fault because i was like oh like maybe it's because maybe it's because of me
00:54:04maybe it's because he's partnered with me so then it felt like my fault like it was just like
00:54:09a roller coaster of emotions like during that time a large conversation about you was that you
00:54:16are too opportunistic and that you wanted to win too badly and you were quote arrogant how does that
00:54:24make you feel when you hear that back yeah i mean i'm gonna be honest i never thought i was winning
00:54:30dancing with the stars i really didn't we really knew that we knew that like we just um but i wanted
00:54:37that experience and i would hope that anyone that had a dream or something that they want in their
00:54:44life or experience that they want that they would go after it not to put anyone down along the way
00:54:49but to go after it and that's what i've always that's how i've always been it's like oh i i'm this
00:54:55is something that i want in my life this is some this is a dream that i have i'm going to
00:55:00well while still having my morals and values go after that i think there was a lot of people
00:55:07online that were supporters of you that came out yeah um that started to say this is beyond
00:55:13misogynistic we're calling her arrogant we'd call a man ambitious like her coming out on secret lives
00:55:19being like yeah i want to do this show it really rubbed people clearly the wrong way to have a woman be
00:55:25so centered and sure of herself and know what she wants and to go for it and i'm curious like
00:55:31do you think had you been a little bit more shy and demure and quiet and just like overly grateful
00:55:39grateful do you think that paired with your dancing abilities you would have had just a better outcome
00:55:44on social media for yourself you mean if i was a man yeah if i was a man then yeah i think it would
00:55:54have been fine i think they would have said fuck yeah you go after that meanwhile you're like but
00:55:59i'm not yeah but we start all crying yeah i'm a mom with three kids and um it just doesn't work
00:56:04it just doesn't work and to be honest like when the when the show was going to air when i knew
00:56:10i knew the show was going to air after the semi-finals which again didn't even think we were going to make
00:56:16it even that far but um i didn't know how it was going to be received um but it was half and half
00:56:26and yeah it would be interesting if i was a man saying that on secret lives of mormon wives i would
00:56:33be curious to know how that would be received i agree yeah can we talk about the cast a little bit
00:56:37because i agree there was hatred happening again you guys were the crux of it all and you
00:56:42objectively got it the worst in terms of hate but were you talking about this with cast members in
00:56:48terms of what you were going through a lot of people were going through it i definitely feel like
00:56:54it was a really heightened for us specifically but it was like nice to have that camaraderie or
00:57:03like relate with other people where it's like bro you can just say you didn't like the dance
00:57:07like you don't need to say you go even farther than that like um a lot of people felt it this
00:57:13season yeah i think the pros and we all kind of like chatted about it too because again like
00:57:17a lot of us have been on the show a long time and this is new waters to navigate and you know we've
00:57:22all known each other a long time we work well together we dance together like we're friends so
00:57:25yeah we there was definitely some conversations about how to navigate you know yeah mark people online
00:57:30were speculating that you won't come back after everything you two went through the season they're
00:57:36like you guys ruined it we're never going to get back where do you currently stand i mean again
00:57:40like i i love the show i love creating on the show um even after my season with charlie like they had
00:57:46me come in and guest judge one day and then i got to dance with derrick um the season before i was in
00:57:50between like still working through that injury stuff because there's a difference between doing like a
00:57:55spotlight performance and then doing a full season like you have to be right for that because
00:57:59injuries will creep up on you like um but i i wouldn't say that i'm like you know of course
00:58:06this one's just finished so like when you need to sleep for a little bit right you're like i've
00:58:11learned not to say it right when it ends but i'll have a i'll have a chat with rob so tbd
00:58:15he's like you're coming back um okay whitney yeah is there anything you would like to say
00:58:24to as we kind of wrap up this part of the conversation to people who actively really
00:58:29really essentially gained a hatred for you throughout this process and when you guys got
00:58:36eliminated quote said the war is over she's gone like do you have anything that you would want to
00:58:40say to those people um i don't know because what i'd want to say is fuck you yeah yeah yeah um
00:58:52but even just that i think that i don't know one person because i get it you're like i don't want
00:58:59to put i don't know one person who wouldn't say that fuck you my mental health you're reading this
00:59:04message you're with your children you're trying to have a fun time i think again i'm just sitting
00:59:09here i have a show and i love to sit with people but now i've been doing this for too long that i have
00:59:14sat with people after people after people on reality television who look me in the eyes and are
00:59:20depleted are exhausted and are like i want to give entertainment i'm down for the jokes i'm down for
00:59:26the banter i'm down for some like hard comments that i'm like oh shit like my outfit didn't look
00:59:31as good or my whatever what my dance wasn't good but i i am starting to begin to believe that it's like
00:59:37we have to turn the conversation to the people watching where it's like at what point are we all the
00:59:42problem and we are creating this thing online that is like it's not fun anymore guys where i'm sitting
00:59:49with two human beings right now and i'm gonna i hope i don't continue but i already know it's gonna
00:59:52happen with love island i'll be next summer you'll see me tuning in and some woman is gonna sit across
00:59:58from me and say my mental health is so fucking broken because the internet has taken a reality
01:00:05show which is so entertaining we love reality shows but they have taken it and they've created
01:00:10something out of it that i am that it's like you murdered someone's family and it's become it's
01:00:16become too real it's become too big yeah and so to sit in these moments and just be like hey
01:00:20yes fuck you it's not that deep just the domino effect of even the hate online then maybe strive to be
01:00:31the person to be the domino effect to not be the hate online maybe try to say a little bit more
01:00:37positive things maybe try to not have the intention to tear someone down and create that domino effect
01:00:45because it's so crazy like even with week five when that hate happened like it just took that one video
01:00:53or it took that two comments and then it creates a domino effect well okay well then let's create the
01:01:00other domino effect yeah i hope that's what comes from this conversation and i think meeting you
01:01:07guys and hanging out with you it's like you're not trying to be victims and i want to make that
01:01:11very clear we're not all sitting here being like this is but it it is needs to be a conversation this
01:01:15is getting absolutely out of the experience that's that simple like you know totally that was part of
01:01:20the experience um i hope again i don't think this one conversation will change it but again maybe it
01:01:26will make people think maybe let's try to be a little bit different and have a little bit of a
01:01:32different effect and maybe as fun as it is to post the comment and then you go off with your family
01:01:36it's sitting with the actual people that you're writing about and just be more thoughtful about
01:01:40that yeah um to turn things a little bit more positive because you're both so talented um okay so
01:01:47we have tbd on if we're gonna get you back on dancing with the stars we'll let you like ice your
01:01:52body and like do some like sauna to like relax um whitney yeah whitney yeah girl
01:02:00there's a lot of speculation online right now there's people zooming in on you why is she in
01:02:08new york what is the paper she's holding yeah what's going on girl what can you tease for us
01:02:14what can i tease people want you on broadway yes people want you in people want you everywhere yeah

01:02:30exciting holy shit i know oh my god and then two i'm gonna be announcing on monday but what i can say
01:02:39is a dance that mark and i performed on dancing with the stars a dance that we performed to on dancing

01:02:56now the internet is gonna be like she got it she did it we'll wait for you to announce when you're
01:03:03ready to announce okay the fans are distraught the fans are distraught because they wanted a freestyle
01:03:13dance yeah they're like how are we not gonna see a mark and whitney freestyle dance this doesn't
01:03:21make sense they're like even if they didn't win we needed at least just give us that at least let us
