00:00First of all, I wanted to ask, how was it to kind of tap into this Cruella de Vil character?

00:04Oh, it was, it was good. I mean, the choreography was just so awesome. And I mean, the fashion,

00:13you know, everything about it, I was like, super excited about it.

00:18And because it's Disney night, I have to ask, what was your favorite Disney character growing up?

00:30Meggie, probably.

00:31Well, probably Snow White. I love the little dwarves. I always liked the whole Snow White

00:39with the little men helping you out. I love a man that helps women out.

00:47What about you, Val?

00:49You're so funny. You said the D word that I remembered you're not allowed to say the D word.

00:55Little man that helps women out. Snow White is an amazing movie. I love, right now,

01:01right now I'm into cars. My kid, cars, cars, cars. So cars been helping me out.

01:07I didn't grow up with Disney. I'll be honest. I'm employed by Disney. I shouldn't say this,

01:11but I didn't grow up with Disney, you know, because you could only see that on cable.

01:16It wasn't on basic, basic network television. But now that I'm a father, I understand why Disney

01:22is so special, you know, because it takes a village to raise your kid and to have entertainment

01:28that is always, you know, has a lesson intertwined into it is great.

01:33And you guys did have the group dance. How did that kind of change the dynamic of rehearsals?

01:38Because you had to rely on each other, but also rely on other people. So how was that?

01:42It was great. I mean, we had the best group. Everyone was so nice. I mean, it was really a

01:49good experience. The camaraderie was excellent between all of us.

01:54And I have to say, I am very sad to see you guys go, but I have to ask what has this journey

02:01meant to you? It's been great because I did something that I wanted to do and thought I

02:08wouldn't be able to do because this is very physical. It's very hard. I mean, so I was a fish

02:13out of water because I'm not a dancer. So to compete at this level for this long is unbelievable.
