00:00Hi Bobby, nice to meet you.
00:02How are you doing?
00:03Great.
00:03What's your name?
00:04What is it?
00:05Lisa, nice to meet you.
00:07All right, are we all good?
00:08Perfect, well, congratulations.
00:11I mean, it's not Zac Efron, but he's great.
00:15You kind of look like Zac Efron a little bit, maybe.
00:18I wish.
00:19There you go.
00:20I wish.
00:21So, I mean, you've only been practicing for a few days, yes?
00:24How's it been going?
00:25Are you sore?
00:26How do you feel?
00:27How's everything?
00:28I mean, the body's been sore, right?
00:30Legs, feet, knees.
00:32I've never danced.
00:33You know, as far as this cast goes, I've had the least amount of training, so a lot of
00:37those little muscles have never been worked before.
00:39So for that, it's been tough, but, you know, my heart's full because I've learned things,
00:45and, you know, I hope people can watch me on the show and see that a kid from population
00:50700 in Mountain Pine, Arkansas can go on Dancing with the Stars and actually, you know, do a
00:55good job.
00:56I want to show people that, you know, it's really not where you come from, you know,
00:59it's where you go.
01:00So I kind of feel like I'm the ambassador for just a lot of people in small towns that
01:03feel like they were not told they couldn't do things, but never told they could.
01:07And I think I'm kind of here to tell you that you can.
01:08You can actually.
01:09Look at me.
01:10If I can do it, you can do it.
01:11So I feel like that's kind of my goal with the show.
01:13That's really cool.
01:14Well, it seems like you have, like, a lot of energy, too.
01:16I mean, what are these rehearsals like?
01:19Like, I feel like you're just ready to learn.
01:20I think both of us have so much energy.
01:23We're both two people that are very much on the go with so many things going on all the
01:27time, and I love the way that we bring that to our rehearsals.
01:31We get a lot done in five, six, seven hours, and the improvement that we've made in our
01:35short few days that we've been rehearsing is insane.
01:38So that just makes me really excited for the future in our journey on the show.
01:42She's a mogul.
01:43So, you know, moguls do mogul things.
01:46And, you know, she had to go dance at the Emmys.
01:48And, you know, she has these awesome, because she's freaking awesome.
01:51Like, I don't know if you guys really know how awesome she is.
01:53Look her up.
01:53Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte Burgers.com.
01:55So, and I mean, and I say that with all sincerity.
01:58And so, you know, she's busy.
02:00And I watch someone who's amazing at what they do.
02:03And I'm in awe because I get to be trained by a professional athlete.
02:08How often can someone say that?
02:10And so, you know, I do believe in my life that if I surround myself with great people,
02:14the key to my success has been just that, surrounding myself with great people.
02:17And I have the greatest.
02:18So for me, it's been cool.
02:21So it seems like you guys already have just like this great chemistry going.
02:24How did you so quickly, you know, create that relationship?
02:28You spend a lot of time in a room together.
02:31And you, you know, you go, you have dinner, you talk, you get to know each other.
02:35This is, you can't dance without great chemistry.
02:37We can't be a great team without breaking down all the walls and getting to know each
02:41other very quickly and trusting each other.
02:43And I think that we both made that effort to be conscious of that.
02:47And then it just naturally happened anyway.
02:49I think we, we have a great vibe.
02:51Our personalities get along.
02:53Our work ethic matches each other.
02:55And our approach to just career success in life is, is the same.
02:59So it works.
03:02Well, for me, it was a real, I'm going to get vulnerable with you for a second.
03:07Uh, you know, we had been together a couple of days and for me, I don't open up a lot to people.
03:11Uh, I, I struggle with it and I'm trying to get better.
03:14I go to therapy, but I think on day two, I, I actually farted.
03:17Yeah.
03:18And so I knew then it was on.
03:21That's it.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Because it was all done.
03:23Yeah.
03:24When you can fart in front of another person, that's it.
03:26That's it.
03:27It's a wrap.
03:27It's a wrap.
03:28Um, can we expect any country music this, this season, like dancing to some country?
03:34Okay.
03:35Yeah.
03:35I mean, listen, I, that's me, you know, I'm country music.
03:39I'm the country music listener.
03:40I'm the guy that is representing the people that feel like they're not heard from the
03:44middle America.
03:45So, you know, I, yes, it's in my contract.
03:49It's actually not, but, but I've requested it.
03:52Yes, absolutely.
03:53Like if we could get like some, you know, Dierks or Luke mixed with Drake and, you know,
03:57you know, something like that.
03:58Cause you know, I, I like anyone else.
04:00My phone's all music, but I, I'm, I'm the country guy.
04:02I love it.
04:03Yeah, absolutely.
04:04As do I.
04:05Now tell me, how do you plan to keep things fresh this season?
04:08Um, I feel like every season it feels fresh that the Bobby is my new muse.
04:14You know what I mean?
04:14It's not going to be the same as Josh.
04:16It's not the same as, as any other partner of mine in, in, you know, my time with dancing
04:20with the stars.
04:21He is now my muse this season.
04:23His story is what is going to inspire me and I'm going to create for him.
04:27So that in itself keeps it fresh.
04:30And just one more question.
04:31Um, Shana has been in the finals multiple times.
04:35How are you going to make sure she wins the mirror ball this season?
04:39This needs to be the season.
04:41It does.
04:41No, it really does.
04:42And I've put pressure on me and in, in my heart, I would, I want her to win.
04:47I want her to win more than I want to win.
04:48She's finished second three times.
04:50She's been in the finals more than that.
04:51And she is the best person and no one's more deserving.
04:54So if I were to lie and say that there wasn't a pressure, I would, that would just wouldn't
04:59be true.
04:59So there is a pressure.
05:00I'm going to work as hard as I can.
05:02Like I really am.
05:03And she deserves it.
05:05Thank you guys so much.
05:06Great talking with you.
05:08Oh, I hope to see you soon.
05:10Nice to meet you.
05:11Fabulous to meet you.
