I'm Karina Smirnoff.

And I'm Apollo Anton Ohno.

Yes.

And we got a 10.

I'm so excited to have you two in here because normally, you know, when you're doing an interview, you have to research your guests. I got to watch the show. I mean, that was my research. That was like the biggest bonus I've ever I think I've ever had in here. Such a huge fan of the show.

It's a fun show.

You are back.

I'm back.

All-Star season. I know. I know a lot of people talk on the show about when you have an Olympic athlete, especially like an eight-time gold medalist.

Thank you.

Um, when you're working with somebody who is so athletic to begin with, how does it sort of make your job easier or or how does it how is it different from working with others, like an actor?

Well, I think because Apollo is my third athlete I've ever worked with. Um, Apollo has an incredible discipline and he, you know, he always wants to try it again. I don't have to ask him twice. So, that's a gift in itself because you you you don't want to be always the cheerleader trying to um, have them want to do it again. Apollo wants to do it. He, if anything, he gets me doing it more than than I would normally even try.

I don't know, I wouldn't go there.

Yeah, well, sometimes.

So, you and I have a a friend in common.

Oh, boy.

And we have a little clip. It's over your shoulder. I'm not even gonna tell you who it is.

What what what what?

It's behind you. There's a little I'm not even gonna set it up. I'm just gonna let it roll. We had somebody in the studio that you've worked with. Do you know what it would be like if it worked here? We wanted to just give you a little taste.

Okay.

Just lean back, put your feet up.

Okay.

You know what? I I should do that.

We got some tequila for you here.

Yeah, come on back here.

Oh, here's the remote for the TV. Maybe even watch Kimmel. Who wants to watch Kimmel? Let's watch Let's fan you. You don't have to do that. We'll do it for you.

Kimmel, Jimmy, sorry, it's all over. He stinks.

Guillermo So, Guillermo, tell me about your experience with him because he I know you you had him in the gym, didn't you, huh?

I know Guillermo for like 10 years now.

Have you, really? Wow.

Yeah.

So, something just you just worked with him. Have you lost weight? He looks great.

Well, not after all the tequila we gave him. No, I just saw him actually I saw him about a week ago. We shot something together. So, we always do like kind of fun He's he's hilarious.

You taught him how to speed skate, I know, way, way back, right? And then this one was what? It was in working out in the gym or

He's going to represent uh, Mexico.

Is he?

In the next games, yeah.

In the next games. As a speed skater.

2014, yeah, short track.

short track, yeah. Okay. So, when you put someone like Guillermo through training, what what how how hardcore is it?

It's pretty hardcore. Yeah. Um,

He's intense, isn't he?

I mean, the frequency of the meals is off the charts. Like, we eat every 30 minutes.

Really?

Sometimes we just skip the workouts altogether.

You just go straight to the food.

Straight to the food.

Well, speaking of food, we have another picture for you behind your shoulder. Another mutual friend. Jared from Subway.

From Subway.

Avocado.

Avocado.

What's that?

Jared from the Subway commercial. Nobody says it like that.

You go.

Yeah, she sold it pretty well.

Is that how she's imitating you?

I guess so. Is that me?

Okay. So, Jared was in here and those were his pants for when he from when he lost all that weight. Jared told me that he used this is crazy. He used to schedule his classes in college on how close they were to each other from where he had to walk from his dorms. So that he didn't have to walk very far. When he fit into those pants. And now he's great. He ran a marathon.

He did run a marathon. Actually, yeah, we wanted to talk to you about that. I ran a marathon.

I know you ran a marathon.

Yeah, I took the subway half the time, but I did technically run the marathon.

You took the subway for Subway because Subway was the

You know, I didn't read anything in the rules that said I couldn't take the subway. And then eat Subway. It's a double whammy. How can you lose?

So, I know uh, cuz Subway is the official training restaurant of you,

Mhm.

uh, the ING New York City Marathon. The Phelps family. Lot of office stuff. Um, basically, every athlete in the world. So, you and Jared challenged you to run the marathon. And this year, I think Whitney Phelps is running it. And I think he's sort of like challenging her to do the same thing. I know what does that mean? Why couldn't Michael run it? Why couldn't Michael? See, I know you were like You were like one of the only athletes that that took him up on that challenge. So, what was So, compare for me like the Dancing With the Stars training versus that.

Oh, this is way harder. It's like your body responds to it very quickly. And like dancing, every week my body is I feel like like I know like I don't know what's going on. It's just so new to me every single year. Yeah. Or every single time I dance.

And what about eating?

I was yeah, I was gonna like try to lose like a lot of weight for the marathon and get like the whole marathon body and get skinny, but I was like, nah. Too much work. I just want to keep eating. I like I I love food.

So, what was it like doubling up? What was what was sort of the regimen, the eating regimen?

It was a number of things. I mean, I always double. Like like for example, when I go to Subway, I get like double, triple meat. Like for protein.

I do too. But I'm not training for the marathon. I just do it.

See? I love it.

And the avocado.

Avocado.

That's good. You get into the base.

Oh. Avocado.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, sorry.

Well, we have another one more picture for you, guys. What's going on here? What what's going on here? This went on my Twitter. And I know there's gonna be team dances next week. I know you're not doing that. That's unreal. Right? It's unreal that you're not doing it because you're really good at it, right?
