I love watching all of you dance before the show.
I love it even more when Twitch helps you.
So enjoy our newest installment of White Men Can Dance dot,
dot, dot with Twitch.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, that was fantastic.
[CLAPPING AND CHEERING]
I think that's you, because I can see your head sticking up
and you're very tall.
What's your name?
Trent Bauer.
Hi, Trent Bauer, how are you?
Come on down here, Trent Bauer.
Hi, hi, Trent.
You're very tall.
I get that a lot, yeah.
You'll have to hold that closer.
Yeah, all right, you get a lot.
I do.
How tall are you?
I am six 10 6' 10."
And when did you shoot up?
Were you always tall or at what age did you start growing?
So I was really short and plump in elementary school.
And then grew about seven inches going into seventh grade.
So people really didn't even notice me, who I was.
They didn't know who I was.
Wow, what a huge difference.
Seven inches in a year?
I was really painful, yeah.
I bet it was, I bet it was.
You're here from here with your friend, Steph.
Oh, yeah, she's right there.
Yeah.
[CLAPPING AND CHEERING]
Yeah, I know that.
I know that because she wrote a letter.
She did?
Yeah, she wrote.
She said, dear Ellen.
I want to tell you about the most selfless and special
person.
I know and his name is Trent Bauer.
He's your biggest fan.
He spent his entire college career fighting for gay rights
and was even nominated for homecoming king because of all
the good that he does.
Trent has a heart of gold.
He is the definition of a true angel.
Ellen, thank you for inspiring Trent to be the guy that he is.
Love, Steph.
How 'bout that?
[CLAPPING AND CHEERING]
Did you know she wrote in?
No, I had no idea.
So you watch the show.
I do, a lot.
Yeah, right.
Good, I'm glad.
I'm appreciative of that.
I always like when people watch the show.
So I heard that you were very excited when you got tickets.
That you haven't really slept or anything.
At all, no.
No.
No, nope.
No.
All right, so you live in Pennsylvania?
I do.
I live in, I live south of Pittsburgh and I go to school
in Shippensburg, Shippensburg University.
OK, and you're a senior?
I am, yeah, I'm a senior.
And tell us, everybody about that you're creating a program
for the students there.
I am.
So I am the LGBT Student Coordinator,
which is a position that I wrote to the president,
asked them to create.
As a student of the LGBT community,
I felt that there was an under-served lack of resources.
So I wrote to them and asked if I could do some research
to develop a center on campus.
And we're in the process of doing that,
so I'm really excited.
Good for you, good for you.
That's amazing.
[CLAPPING AND CHEERING]
All right, what do you want to do after you graduate?
I really, I'm in the process of applying for the Peace Corps.
But my options are open.
I would love to see what happens with this resource center.
And if we can kind of get it moving,
would love to leave that behind.
That's amazing.
Thank you.
That's really sweet.
OK, well I want to do something for you,
because you're a good guy.
And I've been partnering with Cheerios because we want
to help spread one million acts of good.
And we love what you do for the community.
