Welcome to younghollywood. com. Hey guys, it's Michelle Marie coming to you from the Magic Castle here in Hollywood for Melanie Siegel's Gift Lounge celebrating the Teen Choice Awards.

Young Hollywood

Rico Rodriguez.

Rico Rodriguez

Mr. Young Hollywood, everyone cheer. Woo!

Young Hollywood

Thank you. No, stop. You're making me flush. So today we're going to teach kids to read, right? So tell me more about your your tactic today.

Rico Rodriguez

Well, I just you know, I want to do this interview not not by like the candy or sweets, but the books where kids can get educated.

Young Hollywood

Dude, I have to say you've blown up in the past couple years. You're literally like the biggest deal on the show. How are you feeling about your big fame now? Are you getting a lot of crazy people coming up to you?

Rico Rodriguez

Uh, no, not not yet, not yet. But I am really proud that I have gotten to where I've been now. And I think I can go a lot longer.

Young Hollywood

A lot longer. You think you're going to surf board one day?

Rico Rodriguez

Hopefully, hopefully.

Young Hollywood

If you got it, would you ride it or would you just let it sit in your house?

Rico Rodriguez

Well, I'll probably give it to someone who can benefit me because I don't know how to surf, but maybe I'll learn how to surf. And I say, yeah, I got the Teen Choice Awards. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Young Hollywood

You're here celebrating Teen Choice Awards. You're no stranger to the show. So what are you excited about for this weekend?

Guest

You know, people always say it's kind of like a reunion. It's kind of like a big like summer camp or something to see us all together, and it's definitely like that. It's exciting to see everyone from every world and young Hollywood come together.

Young Hollywood

What's the coolest thing you got today?

Guest

Um, I love I love metal hardware jewelry, so this is pretty rad so far, and I've just begun. But the TJ Max gift card, I'm actually so stoked to spend.

Young Hollywood

How are you feeling today?

Guest

Feeling good. Getting from some free swag.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. Perks of being a celebrity. Don't you love that?

Guest

Yeah. It's one of my favorite parts, I'd have to say.

Young Hollywood

With Dancing with the Stars, what do you think it is about the show that makes it number one? I mean, there are so many competition shows out there now.

Guest

Yeah. Well, I think it's easy easily relatable, you know? Anyone can kind of put themselves in that shoe and the shoe of the celebrity and say, you know, how would I be if I were the one that was earning all these dances and had to compete on, you know, national television in front of 22 million people.

Young Hollywood

You're no stranger to the Teen Choice Awards. What do you love about it?

Guest

Oh, it's I mean, it's just such a such a fun event. I love that it's all about the kids and the teens and they get to vote and what's popular for them. So, I have kids myself, and that's, you know, what's on my brain 24 hours a day, so Teen Choice is really fun.

Young Hollywood

Awesome. Congratulations on Make It or Break It. Tell us more about your role in the show.

Guest

Well, I'm playing Summer Van Horn and I am in this relationship now, kind of dating the coach. We're trying to see if it's going to work or not. We have two very different world views, but the fans seem to love Sasha and Summer together, so we'll see what happens.

Young Hollywood

Well, let's let's go this way. We got rings here. I picked up one of these earlier. I don't know if I can pull it off. I heard Dane Cook's got it. We'll get one of those as well. Um, Dane Cook, I I got to give it to you, man. I don't think I can pull that off. No way, no how. Let's go look at the underwear. I love underwear. I mean, don't these just look so tasty? I mean, what did I just say? Oh my god, I'm sweating. Um, what do we love about being at gifting suites? Second guest: Um, I like what I like about the Teen Choice Awards gifting suite. They're like fun and colorful and like I'm such a little girl at heart, so I get to get all these like

Young Hollywood
