Summary
Bobby sits down with Derek Hough to talk about new-dad life, the pressure, the learning curve, and why bonding looks different for everyone. Then they dive into Dancing with the Stars: the grind before the show, how competitive it really gets, Mirrorball trophy chaos, and the stolen Mirrorball mystery that still makes everyone ask, “Wait… where did it go?” Derek also shares how he handled nervous partners (and brought people out of their shell), plus the celeb seasons that changed everything for him. And he remembers Len Goodman the way fans didn’t always see him, before teasing what’s coming on his “Symphony of Dance” tour. Get tickets HERE
