00:00 >> The hops are back in the

00:02 ballroom on "Dance with the

00:04 stars."

00:05 We couldn't be more excited.

00:07 >> Joining us now, Derek Cuff.

00:09 What's up, man?

00:10 I like to see you and your

00:12 sister working together right

00:13 there.

00:13 How does it feel to be working

00:15 with your sister again?

00:16 >> It's great, man.

00:17 You know, I just can't seem to

00:19 shake her, you know?

00:20 But, no, honestly, it was so

00:21 fantastic.

00:22 She did an incredible job.

00:23 And it just felt right.

00:24 The energy in the room felt

00:26 great.

00:27 And she's not, you know, shy of

00:29 calling us out immediately on

00:31 night one, you know?

00:32 She was like, I don't think

00:33 those scores match the comments.

00:35 I was like, well, thanks a lot,

00:36 Jules.

00:37 >> I'm so glad the ballroom is

00:38 back.

00:39 Who should we keep our eye on

00:40 this season?

00:41 >> There are some -- there

00:42 definitely are some front

00:43 runners, I think, out of the

00:44 gate.

00:45 I think Charity was fantastic.

00:47 I think Sochi is great.

00:50 Ariana.

00:51 You know, there's some really

00:53 good -- actually, and Jason

00:55 Mraz.

00:56 >> He surprised me.

00:57 I didn't know it was going to

00:58 be him.

00:59 >> He kind of blew me away.

01:01 He was super natural.

01:02 Lele was fantastic.

01:03 I think she's going to be --

01:04 she has a lot of potential.

01:05 >> You know what's crazy?

01:06 This is like night one.

01:07 This used to be the end of the

01:08 season when you would get that

01:09 good.

01:10 Now everybody comes out -- used

01:11 to be you kind of came out

01:12 really herky-jerky night one.

01:13 >> There were a few of those as

01:14 well.

01:15 >> Yeah, definitely.

01:16 That's the production value

01:17 that has gone up since night

01:18 one.

01:19 >> That's for sure.

01:20 >> Last time we saw you, Derek,

01:21 you got married, so

01:22 congratulations.

01:23 >> That's right.

01:24 >> Yay!

01:25 >> Oh, I didn't see the ring.

01:26 >> Did she ride anything in the

01:27 ring?

01:28 >> There actually is.

01:29 Yes, there's actually a diamond

01:30 and her birthstone inside.

01:32 >> You got a diamond inside?

01:33 Let me see that.

01:34 >> Inside.

01:35 >> Let me see that.

01:36 >> You got to do it inside.

01:37 I don't want to be too flashy.

01:38 I want to be like --

01:39 >> I never seen a diamond

01:40 inside.

01:41 Okay.

01:42 >> That's cool.

01:43 >> It won't go up because it's

01:44 like, you're married enough.

01:45 You're married enough.

01:46 >> He just wanted to show that

01:48 his fingers were flat on mine.

01:50 >> That's a broken knuckle.

01:51 This is what happens when you do

01:52 that.

01:53 When you start breaking your

01:54 fingers, you get rubber.

01:55 >> Oh, that's so true.

01:56 >> I should have been married a

01:57 long time.

01:58 >> So prior to the wedding,

01:59 which I want to get to because

02:01 you all got married in a forest.

02:03 >> It was so beautiful.

02:04 >> I heard you had a six-day

02:06 co-ed bachelor/bachelorette

02:08 party.

02:09 >> Yeah.

02:10 >> What's up with that?

02:11 She didn't let you go solo?

02:12 >> No, we had a friend.

02:13 He has a beautiful boat.

02:15 And we were kind of on this

02:17 crazy adventure with all our

02:19 friends and bachelor and

02:21 bachelorette parties.

02:22 But we were like the typical,

02:24 like, you know, booze and all

02:26 that.

02:27 We did like escape rooms.

02:28 >> That's cool.

02:29 >> We were dressed like pirates

02:30 and running around the boat.

02:32 >> You did that sans booze?

02:34 >> No, no, no.

02:35 We're not like --

02:36 >> You're not big partiers.

02:38 >> Not like that.

02:39 >> Got it.

02:40 >> Our version of a party was

02:41 doing escape rooms where in the

02:43 middle of the night we're on a

02:45 tender on a deserted island

02:46 digging up a treasure.

02:47 >> Really escaping.

02:48 >> Wow.

02:49 >> It was crazy.

02:50 We were divided with

02:51 walkie-talkies.

02:52 What's this code say?

02:53 You're in the galley.

02:54 What's cooking over here?

02:55 Jumping into the water at night.

02:57 It was --

02:58 >> That's cool.

02:59 >> We're a bunch of nerds.

03:00 >> I love that.

03:01 But the wedding was wild.

03:03 Did mark ballast, we heard he

03:04 got you crowd surfing in the

03:05 middle of the wedding.

03:06 >> Yes, he did.

03:07 His best man speech was honestly

03:09 the opening monologue of a film.

03:11 It was incredible.

03:12 And by the end of it, we were

03:14 crowd surfing and they were

03:15 lifting me up.

03:16 It was wild.

03:17 It was such a great time.

03:18 I actually just got the video

03:20 from the videographers

03:21 recently.

03:22 And it wasn't like a -- it just

03:24 looks like -- it's just like a

03:26 movie.

03:27 It's really incredible.

03:28 But it wasn't like a cry.

03:30 I was like -- there's an ugly

03:32 cry on the floor.

03:33 This is so beautiful.

03:34 I love this.

03:35 >> When they put it to music and

03:37 you see it all back, it just

03:38 adds so much emotion.

03:39 >> That's amazing.

03:40 >> I like that you guys have

03:41 been friends for such a long

03:42 time.

03:43 >> He had a lot of stories.

03:44 >> I bet he did.

03:45 I remember last time you said

03:47 people might be expecting you to

03:49 have this production of a first

03:51 dance.

03:52 Did you keep it low key?

03:53 >> We did.

03:54 What was interesting is we

03:55 went to this 100-year-old barn

03:57 and we were in there by

03:59 ourselves.

04:00 And there were these giant barn

04:01 doors.

04:02 We started our dance by ourself.

04:04 And then they opened the doors

04:05 and everybody rushed in and

04:07 joined our first dance

04:08 essentially.

04:09 >> Look at that.

04:10 >> It was an intimate moment.

04:12 What's cool is we didn't do any

04:14 performance.

04:15 We just danced with each other.

04:17 But for our tour that we're

04:18 doing, coming up right now, we're

04:20 actually dancing to our first

04:21 song.

04:22 But it's a choreographed dance.

04:24 It's more of a performance.

04:25 >> Now that's a production.

04:26 >> We live our first dance with

04:28 everybody on the road.

04:29 >> That's cool.

04:30 >> Speaking of which, let's talk

04:31 about that.

04:32 Symphony of dance.

04:33 >> Yes.

04:34 >> Right?

04:35 Tour has been going -- or it's

04:36 going to continue now to continue

04:38 going on.

04:39 I think you end in L.A.,

04:40 correct?

04:41 >> Yes.

04:42 We start October 2nd in Salt

04:44 Lake City and we're hitting 59

04:46 cities all across the country.

04:47 >> With your wife.

04:48 >> With my beautiful wife.

04:49 >> That's so cool.

04:50 >> And also just an amazing cast

04:52 of dancers.

04:53 >> That's awesome.

04:54 >> Amazing band.

04:55 The set is -- the lighting.

04:57 It's a full, full Broadway

04:58 production.

04:59 It really is.

05:00 >> Did you overextend yourself?

05:02 I've heard about some of these

05:03 dancers.

05:04 Some of these dances, it looks

05:05 quite something.

05:06 >> It's the most challenging,

05:08 most -- yeah, the choreography

05:11 is intricate.

05:12 It's some of the most difficult

05:14 things I've ever done.

05:15 Lifts and tricks and concepts

05:17 with props.

05:19 It's full out.

05:20 But I'm so excited to share it

05:21 with everybody.

05:22 I'm so passionate about it.

05:24 My favorite thing about touring

05:26 is that shared experience with

05:27 the audience, being on stage.

05:29 And, yeah, but I'll be going

05:31 back and forth, dancing with

05:33 the stars and on tour.

05:34 >> Look at that.

05:35 >> So whoever is seeing the show

05:37 can tell me, I hate your

05:38 scores, man.

05:39 They can tell me in person.

05:40 You were terrible.

05:41 >> And you're traveling with

05:42 your wife.

05:43 We can't wait for a little huff

05:45 baby.

05:46 >> You know?

05:47 >> Pressure, Hoover.

05:48 Can't put the pressure --

05:51 >> We'll be on time.

05:52 >> He can't have her pregnant

05:53 on stage right there doing all

05:54 that stuff.

05:55 >> She can do all those things.

05:56 >> Afterwards.

05:57 >> We'll get on it.

05:58 >> Congrats on everything.

05:59 Great to see you as always.
