[Host]

Let's get to the results of Wendy's video versus Kate Gosling. All right, happened about a week and a half ago that you came in here, right?

[Wendy]

Yeah, I challenged Kate Gosselin that I could do a jive better than she could. Because on Dancing with Their stars are given a week to learn a new dance. And that week it was the jive. And she just did awful, like a horrible jive. No effort, wasn't trying to do the dance, wasn't getting the steps right. So I came in here with my big mouth and said I could do it a lot better. And I trained for a week and then I performed it on Friday at DAZA Dance.

[Host]

And Stacy and I, my wife's in studio this morning also. We were there and she just, I mean, Wendy kicked ass.

[Co-host]

She killed it. She did. She nailed it.

[Wendy]

It was so much fun. I had a blast doing it.

[Co-host]

The video is so much fun to watch. I think Melissa and I were talking about it yesterday. Like you were literally cheering after watching it.

[Host]

Katie and I watched it On Saturday because we couldn't be there Friday night. And we literally cheered out loud in the. In the house. The whole scene Friday night after she danced was like the last couple of minutes in Rudy when one person just started clapping, and then it was the whole room. Oh, my God. We were just part of history.

[Wendy]

It was exciting, though. I had so much fun.

[Host]

Well, you did a great job.

[Co-host]

Oh, she looked fabulous, didn't she? I mean, stop it. She looked so good. She came out and I was like.

[Host]

I mean, you couldn't even.

[Co-host]

She looked awesome.

[Host]

Just the right amount of hair extension, the right amount of tan, the right

[Wendy]

amount of dress, Fake pony airbrush.

[Co-host]

And the hot partner right next to you, too. Wasn't Antonio the cutest? Oh, good God.

[Bluff]

That was out loud.

[Co-host]

Stacy, the way he wears those pants. I know, but why does he do that?

[Bluff]

You know what? She said the same thing about you and your crutches. The way he crutches along.

[Co-host]

God.

[Host]

He could come over to my house as much as I want. Talk as much as you want, Antonio. But at some point, you gotta leave. And I reap the benefits.

[Co-host]

Yes. Yeah.

[Wendy]

He is delicious.

[Host]

So the deal was that we were gonna put Wendy's dance up online and compare it to Kate gosselin's. And you guys would vote for 24 or 48 hours. And if wend Wendy's video beat, Kate gosselin said I would hand over 100 bucks. And we have some. We got results now. Jeff, would you like to do the honors?

[Bluff]

Oh, yeah. Let me pull them up. This does not suck. Wendy. Kate Gosselin received 106 votes.

[Co-host]

She did.

[Host]

Which is. I was offended by.

[Co-host]

Wow.

[Host]

I was offended that 106 people.

[Bluff]

106 people thought Kate Gosselin.

[Co-host]

Now, could you only vote once, or is that one person who voted 106 times for kickoffs, it's her kids that

[Host]

voted a couple times?

[Bluff]

Yeah. Each kid voted twice. However, Wendy, 14, 26 people thought you voted.

[Host]

I mean, not even close.

[Co-host]

Awesome.

[Host]

You get the long trumpet for that?

[Co-host]

Yes.
