00:00You know, Gleb said to us last night that your judging style reminds him of Len.
00:05Do you see that as well?
00:07You know, I wish I was as good as Len. You know, he absolutely irreplaceable. My guy,
00:14you know, his phrases and his Len-isms were just iconic. And, you know, I try to
00:24talk a little bit more about the details and the dancing, you know, what to work on.
00:31It's always hard, especially these first couple of weeks, because there's so little time to say
00:34something. So I feel like I'm rushing it, trying to get it in. But I actually told the producers,
00:41I said, hey, can we, instead of doing like the mentor session at the end of the finale,
00:46we do it at the beginning of the season or in the middle of the season, so we could actually go and
00:50work with them a little bit more. Because I think I do miss a little bit of the coaching aspects,
00:54and I just want to get my, I want to get in there with them a little bit. Because sometimes just
01:00having 10 seconds to say something just isn't quite enough, you know?
01:03Sure, yeah. Noah, I'm sure you being in there is very helpful. Was there anything that you
01:08wish that you got to say a little bit more last night or something that you wish that you didn't
01:13say?
01:14One thing I actually wanted to say with Alona, who is, she's so amazing and so charismatic,
01:22off the floor and funny. And I think I said this on the table, but I don't want her to
01:32misinterpret like trying to be, you know, dancing as sort of like, as like a soft thing,
01:39you know what I mean? It still has impact and strength, you know? And I think that she's
01:44trying to juxtapose what she comes from. I'm like, no, no, no, you bring that in with you,
01:49bring that, bring that into the dance floor. And I think I said that before, but because whenever
01:53I see her like, you know, out and about, I'm like, yo, she is a force of nature. She is phenomenal.
01:59And I think if she just brings a little bit more to that to the dance floor, I think she's gonna,
02:03she could do amazing.
02:05Sure, she's, I think she said last night that she felt the judges were a little too nice to her.
02:09Do you ever feel like you are a little nicer on night one,
02:12as opposed to a little bit later on in the season?
02:15Yes. No, night one is a love fest. Night one is a love fest. Welcome to the show.
02:19Here we are. We're not going to bite too hard. But then, you know, week two, three, roll around.
02:25I'm like, okay, you've had some time. Now, I can't let you off the hook for this and this
02:30and this and this, you know? So, so hey, man, if she wants some, we can go, we can go in.
