The Sisterhood of the Traveling Orange Fringe Pants (DWTS: The Next Pro 101)

[upbeat music] Welcome to Stepping on Toes.

I am professional dancer Danielle Fishel.

And I am a professional celebrity podcaster-

[laughs]

...

Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

Guys, this is our very-

This is it

... first episode.

I just always wanted to do this.

Y- you just wanna play with it? You wanna play with the microphone?

[laughs]

Uh, d- listen, don't you dare.

Respectfully.

Respectfully, you wanna-

Yeah

... play with the microphone?

I, not anymore.

Not anymore.

That's it.

But you did wanna, you had to get it-

I- initially I did-

... out of your system

...

but now, now I can't get my head out of that.

Honestly, this is why I wanted to work with you.

Yeah.

I, I wanted a co-host that would come in and go, "Can I play with the microphone?" [laughs]

Maturity, poise, professionalism.

That's what I bring.

[laughs] I truthfully adore you.

Thank you.

I, um, am so excited that you agreed to do this with me.

I think you have such an important voice in this community and in this world, and you're so good at being able to explain yourself.

You can stay diplomatic-

Hmm

...

but you also are always very honest, which is what people want.

You're authentic through and through.

I guess the shorthand is you are truly who you are at all times, and I love it.
