Pod Meets Twirl'd: DWTS 3408

It’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night on Dancing with the Stars and the Daniettes are facing the bitter truth…their beloved Danielle Fishel has been eliminated.    BUT…that won’t stop two guys who know nothing about dance, or the show, from recapping the fiercest dance competition on ABC!    A Garden State icon leads Alix and Val to the standout performance of the night, while Flavor Flav didn’t help the controversies surrounding the scoring. And how did Will and Rider react to Carrie Ann’s apology to Danielle?   Plus, will his place as “the people’s champion” be enough to take Andy Richter to the finals? We’re standing up at the judges table, yelling at the top of our lungs and unbuttoning our dress shirt down to our navels…on an all new, somber Pod Meets Twirl’d! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
