1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,300
So that's when they said to me,

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,200
"Let's go. Sign up for the VP30 Reunion Concert."

3
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:14,100
I said, "Do you think they'll make us dance? 
My knees don't work, my hips don't work,..."

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,300
"...and this right here is way too big."

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,000
The first song is called "Permission to Dance."

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,900
...so... [laughter]

7
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:33,200
...so I called my buddy Mike and asked if 
he's up for it. [laughter]

8
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:47,600
There was silence on the phone for two solid 
minutes.

9
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,300
When he finally came on, he said,

10
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,200
"If I show up with a..." [laughter]

11
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:01,100
"...with a cane will they let me dance in 
an armchair?..."

12
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:06,000
"...I don't know how many of the old guys 
will be there,..."

13
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:10,900
"...but it sounds like TONS of fun."

14
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:15,800
I told him...

15
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,500
...none of the choreographers saw us dance 
in the first place...

16
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,700
...they have no idea what we're capable of.

17
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:34,900
And get this...

18
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,800
...they told us they want to broadcast this 
thing worldwide.

19
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:40,900
Worldwide!

20
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,800
Seriously

21
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:47,700
There's more pressure this time than any 
of the performances we did while we were 
in the group.

22
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,100
And the only skills I retain from that period 
is documented here on my van driver card.

23
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,600
My van card...

24
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,500
...was signed by Brigham Young himself.

25
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:10,300
And so I'm going to show up...

26
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,000
...to show up...

27
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,900
...to show up to rehearsal and hope they 
don't cut me from the production.

28
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,500
Mike said, "They might. I've seen you dance..."

29
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,700
"...remember how hard it was for you at the 
25th one-shot mashup?"

30
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,000
**Did you mess that up?**

31
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:35,200
I couldn't even "Vogue" properly. [Laughter]

32
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,100
They kept pushing me further and further 
back in the dance lines.

33
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,000
I can't unsee it in the mashup.

34
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
And so this time the stakes are even higher.

35
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:58,700
**Do you think this time is going to be harder?**

36
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,500
I wave my hands around like they're not even 
part of the movement. Have you seen me dance?

37
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,400
So I'm going to bring a cane and an armchair 
too.

38
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:14,300
And let's not mention my voice...

39
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200
It might not even hold up through rehearsals.

40
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,800
...not even one rehearsal.

41
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:38,500
And that's why I didn't try out for a solo.
