EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
2:56 tour life is crazy so thank you for joining the podcast. Of course. It’s insane.
7:00 i didn’t know that you and jojo siwa were that tight before any of this. What age did you come out and why does jojo siwa have a big part of that?
18:45 who would be your dream guest if they did have two male partners and you got to be with him? And why is it zac efron? I think it would have to be someone from heated rivalry. Either of them.
45:55 I’m collecting kisses like infinity stones and i have to be able to kiss the whole cast on stage by the end of tour or else i did not accomplish this tour.

Timestamps:
2:25 thats like a core memory for me was on tour alan and i loved gambling.
2:56 tour life is crazy so thank you for joining the podcast. Of course. It’s insane.
3:39 we started mid january and were done mid may, so its five months on a bus. Why? Why that long?
4:04 once the show hits im the happiest person ever. I love hearing the audiences, I love meeting the fans.
4:52 its exhausting but i am so snatched right now. Like i am looking in the mirror and im like girl you may be tired but you look so good.
5:55 how old are you? 25. You little baby with already so much wisdom and knowledge.
6:11 oh you know i f watch this shit.
6:30 some of the stuff that happens on that show isn’t far fetched from what i’ve experienced growing up in utah.
7:00 i didn’t know that you and jojo siwa were that tight before any of this. What age did you come out and why does jojo siwa have a big part of that?
8:20 on that tour it was the rainbow hair the glitter she did my makeup every single day every single day it was so hard for me.
8:36 she basically laid out my inner homophobia and helped me get thru it. So when i did come out it was so scary but she had my back. I’ll never forget that act of kindness of service that she did for me.
9:34 the thing i was afraid of losing was the people i cared about. Even when my parent were starting to find out i was gay, they were very like no this is not okay. If you do this this is the path that you’ll go down.
10:22 really coming out, it was the hardest, easiest thing i ever did. My finger was shaking when i hit send on that post. Days went by and everyone still loves me the same.
13:24 i also love that you celebrate your pride birthday every year now.
14:10 do you think the hardest part is external judgment or the internal one?
14:34 you want to come out in an environment that you feel youll be accepted in, and i already had that. I had someone who was a pop star, iconic diva, who had my back, not everyone has that.
15:13 utah is a different world. I want to go back to teen Ezra, what would you do to present a version of yourself to fit in?
16:39 you grew up dancing too like you always were a dancer? Was dance for you an escape or was it just another place you felt like you had to prove yourself?
17:09 i would say at the studio i grew up at they were very adamant about men dancing like men, so whenever i would dance a little feminine they would call me out on it.
17:31 looking back it was traumatic for me to hear but also really good for me to hear at the time.
17:41 so what was your take when there was two women when JoJo was on, and what would you think about two men being on the show? I would love it.
18:14 to me, watching jojo’s season was so refreshing because it was something different. Also jenna was such a perfect pro for that.
18:45 who would be your dream guest if they did have two male partners and you got to be with him? And why is it zac efron? I think it would have to be someone from heated rivalry. Either of them.
19:21 why did i not think of that?
20:21 Tonal
21:39 i feel like people love hearing about DWTS behind the scenes
23:49 i said id love to do a tiktok with you where its something around the fact that you’re the ferrari, her ass is so humble, she goes I don’t know if i could put myself out there like that.
24:48 i obviously need to talk to you about people like anna delvey.
25:48 i was like this girl is fierce, i love the fact that she was my first partner. It really was such an iconic first partner for me.
26:44 with anna it was a lot of cards that were against me.
26:55 i just knew i have an opportunity to work with someone who’s never danced before. And i always feel like a pro on the show your job is to give them the best experience ever but kinda change their life through dance.
27:50 when you said i just did my job i said that part.
29:40 every time i get snappy or someone gets snappy with me we’ll always have that adult conversation after and i feel like it makes us stronger.
30:33 explain the animal game, you make the noises?
32:12 how did they prank you?
32:51 what has surprised you the most about being a pro that people wouldn’t know. How much you do. The amount of hats you where. Oh my gosh.
34:40 You make it all the way to the finale, your freestyle gets called one of the best in decades, which i totally agree.
35:00 did that season feel different for you?
36:20 what was the dynamic like early on?
37:15 Olympian gymnasts are a different breed of beasts.
38:38 and then you got matching tattoos which is on brand for you now.
38:48 were people spreading rumors about you two? Oh you know me. You started the rumor didn’t you?
39:39 we secretly got married and it’s affecting her gymnastics performance.
41:28 your tiktok lives, you have built a massive online fanbase.
43:48 Apartments.com
45:03 so it happened when jenna kissed me.
45:55 I’m collecting kisses like infinity stones and i have to be able to kiss the whole cast on stage by the end of tour or else i did not accomplish this tour.
46:26 who’s most likely to cry in rehearsal? I would say emma because she’s very empathetic.
47:44 okay whos the most competitive? Oooooo Oh who isn’t?
48:45 who is most likely to forget the choreography.
49:28 who is the best dressed off camera?
50:07 okay secretly who’s the funniest? Brandon.
50:55 besides you, future mirror ball winner?

41:53 and then this netflix is a joke thing came up and i was like this is so cool.
01:00:15 im not saying have babies and shit will happen for you but just know it doesnt have to stop you.
01:02:21 she was so open about leaving her baby for 2 months to film a show. And she had no fear. And i said did u feel bad about it? And she said no. she owned it.

Timestamps:
4:16 I don’t know babe, I feel like this alien thing should be a bigger deal.
5:04 I can’t handle this information. Well, let’s move on.
5:16 You were at the watch party for Tell Me Lies?
6:04 I’m so in my wuthering heights era I had an orgasm in my sleep last night thinking of jacob. I literally woke up having an orgasm. I swear to god. I was like a 14 year old boy having a wet dream. Stop. He got in your dreams.
6:21 do you know who i have had multiple dreams in my life about, justin bieber? Yes babe how did u know? Youre a witch.
8:04 so tell me about wuthering heights.
8:25 i was obsessed with the movie but i didnt cry at the end which made me feel like a robot.
9:35 he really is just the epitome in hollywood of just a movie star. Sex.
9:49 i just want to interview him so he moves the hair out of my face.
11:02 and about olivia jade, i dont care about the college scandal anymore. And ive seen some of her grwm and i dont really care about them. And if i had to say no i dont think shes good enough for him.
12:05 i was just thrown for a loop because i picture him with like a kaitlyn bristowe or something.
12:55 i went on record, i love how im being dramatic today, i went on record,
13:00 do you remember the press tour for glenn powell and sydney sweeneys movie. Where she was grabbing his dick almost, like his gf broke up with him over it.
13:35 i know im saying went on record a lot today hahaha
15:27 you think that theyre in love? Yes, didnt she say she actually she forgot she was margot robbie for a moment and was fully in love with the character.
16:55 like olivia wilde who blew up her life for harry styles.
18:10 i saw people critique that he gave frankenstein the first half of the movie and then i saw a clips from the movie and saw some times he was hunched over and i was like oh wait i do see a little frankenstein vibes.
19:44 shes all living our dreams, our actual dreams. Okay to be honest right now im not sure she is living the dream. You know what i mean. I think its really hard being married to him.
21:39 Leesa
22:10 im really inspired by you, i always have been, your oura, your year of saying yes.
22:27 there is something about you that is radiating confidence and joy.
22:55 i burned some shit, i did a manifestation, i did a meditation, i did a visualization, i did journal prompts, i shoved a crystal up my vagina. Did you actually?
23:20 im in my yes era.
23:43 old amanda would have been like ehhh and not gone
24:09 i was way more no’s then yes’s and i didnt think it was bad i thought it was cool to be like nah.
24:27 at the beginning its really forcing yourself
25:44 i would cringe so hard at influencers that would go to events and get glam, and say to peoples faces like are you a loser…
26:18 and i was projecting because i was scared to do that.
27:51 he used to say i dont want to be caught trying. And that line really spoke to me. Because thats me.
28:39 so my ny resolutions was what can i do to break a pattern, do something different and change something and lets try it. Lets see if i give in more of that and do more things.
31:19 you've worked really hard to get where you are. 10 years babe.
31:34 you get competitive in this industry and you feel shit about yourself and its such highs and lows. Its like one day youre like im killing it the next day you feel like a loser. Its just the way it is.
33:00 complacent is what i was feeling before the year of yes.
33:15 im literally moving to NY amanda. You are
34:33 i didnt use to work out and now working out is part of my day, i wasnt into books and now im getting into books, it feels so good to add this in your life. Not in a little way but a big way. Like a reinvention.
35:07 you are an OG, before i started my podcast, you inspired me to start a podcast.
36:15 if youre feeling like youre jealous, do the opposite and hype them up. That is how i changed chemistry in my brain. I used to be so jealous of them and then i switched it to be like am i jealous or am i inspired.
40:34 speaking of icks i had live show ick.
41:03 in my year of yes was doing a live show in NY. im from ny i was like lets do one in NY and see how i feel.
41:53 and then this netflix is a joke thing came up and i was like this is so cool.
45:08 so everyone at every level. Obviously there is a thought that goes into it and even hillary duff didnt know if she could fill up.
45:59 Apartments.com

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
(2:18) - Like, this would be like if the ops wrote the book about you. Because I felt like the only way I could have a good memoirs of felt like somebody was trying to take me down. Because, you know, my story is in my mind. It's like a tragic journey of, like almost being so close for so many times. But, you know, that's why I haven't given up hope because my time is still coming one day. I love that about you. I love that you you're still a believer in.
(26:19) - What would you say the percentage was of how much was actually you and how much was a character you're playing? I'd say in the beginning it was just like kind of goofy, like just how I was more fun. And then when it started going darker, it was really forced. And you're you're just redoing things so many times in so many ways, and you're reading their beats. So the energy just becomes like a toxic frequency… I think I could have done it just like, you know, way sharper. Whereas people I would still say what I was saying, but like, articulate it so, you know, still be the bad guy, but just get better sentences out. So the audience didn't hate me for just being insane verses, oh wow, he's really sad. Who knows? It was an impossible situation.
(48:20) - That's not just like a couple things you lost. Like you guys lost everything. Everything. And then back to the crystals. I put all of my money into crystals since 2008, and people joke about it like, oh, all my crystals could have been in a museum like I had museum grade specimens that were going up in value every year getting more rare. It was my kid's inheritance.
(53:11) - I was forced because this lady, Karen Bass, who is rerunning who's probably, God forbid, if I didn't even step in, she was for sure winning and getting four more years. So if somebody had stepped up that, as they would say, has more experience and more qualifications and was saying all the truth about this mayor, I wouldn't even add again, I would just be focusing on selling my book, which is so much easier than trying to deal with running for mayor of Los Angeles. So the idea that, oh, I'm running for mayor to help my books, I can just do all these podcasts only about my book and not talk about you know, our city being destroyed. So, no, I do not want to be doing this. And it's it's kind of like, if I don't, then who will? Evil wins. Yeah, I look at it and and to me, at this stage in my life, it's I'm way more into the spiritual warfare era of my existence.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
(04:02) - So you originally were asked to be on season one, but you were like, let me get through and figure this out first. Yeah. How mature of you. Thanks. Well, I mean, I think it helped that I had just come off of, like, the whole swinging scandal and all of that. So you realize that all of that isn't really like what it's cracked up to be and like, what's worth it and what's not. And so I think I was very much like, jaded by the online scrutiny and all of that, that I'm like, I don't know that sacrificing my peace, you know, when I would just fought for my life for a few years and like, I don't know that I'm ready to subject myself to that again.
(08:38) - Season three especially showed like real fractures, particularly between Letitia and Kate... But did you and Layla feel like pulled into that? Oh for sure, but there is a there's also so many other like components to that whole situation that it wasn't even necessarily just like, you know, the, the Kate in Latvia of it all… And so I think in order to really protect, like my co-parent relationship and like my own piece, I think like her relationship with Chase, like got to a point where I like, needed to like just set a strict boundary and just be like like, I don't want to hear about either one of you from either one of you, like, figure your stuff out. But like, I'm, I like it's too much for me because it was just hard because I would hear things from Kate, and then I would ask Chase about it and he's like, no, that's not at all what happened.
(20:20) - I want to know if we're going to see more of your romantic life, like, is there anything you can tease in that area? Are you dating anyone? Do we get to see it? I'm not dating anyone… Yeah, I think I think that's exactly where I'm like, I feel for sure like the most authentic version of myself that I've been. And so I'm like, I and I feel at peace with like being single right now. So I'm like, I'm open to love, but I'm not really like, I don't really care enough. Right now to go, like out of my way to search for it.
(24:24) - And then the swinging storyline, like obviously changed everything. Like, I don't want you to feel like I'm saying this for you to say yes. I'm curious, though, if you regret that chapter or if you're like, that's just how life goes and that's how it had to happen…
(29:24) - There must’ve been like a tiny feeling of betrayal for? I mean, I'm asking you, I guess, were you already emotionally detached? To me, like it had nothing to do with the, like. Any feelings for Chase? Like, I was, like, so far beyond that at this point… Like, y'all can do, like what you want, but I'm, I like, I'm not giving you access to that headspace anymore. Yeah. And that's really what it was about.
(30:57) - I want to know how Chase would feel if you were ever to become a Bachelorette. Because now we know we can have a crossover world of Mormon wives and Bachelorette. So. And I think fans are obsessed with the idea of you being the Bachelorette. So would what would he feel and would you ever consider it?... I don't know, I would be open to it for sure. I think it would be very like like I said, I don't have a ton of dating experience, so it would for sure be an intimidating experience for me, but I'd be open to it for sure.
