We did do something really cool. We 18 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: were able to go visit some patients at the children's hospitals. 19 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: Yeah you w Yeah. We were both at Medical City 20 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: in Dallas and it was just such a great day. Yeah, 21 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: I love doing that. And this was your second time 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: to do it right, second time, yes, and this was 23 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: your first time, Rachel, tell me about it. What did 24 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: you think it was? It was a really cool experience, 25 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, just going around and talking to it. We 26 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: talked to most of the families because a lot of 27 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: the kids that we saw were infants, so obviously we 28 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: couldn't have conversations with them. But it was just a 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: really cool experience to give back and spread some holiday 30 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: cheer in my close enough now, yeah, you gotta get 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, uncomfortably close, like your mouth almost has 32 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: to touch the microphone these after every show, so it's 33 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: we really don't I'm just kidding. Never, So it was cool, huh. 34 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: It was a cool experience. Yeah. Yeah, And everybody's always like, 35 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, the workers there say that this is one 36 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: of the best days of the year when the players 37 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: show up because a lot of those kids and so 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: we went to four different hospitals. I think we went 39 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: to Cooks and Fort Worth, Children's Medical City, Scottish Rite 40 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: and then Children's and then Children's. Yeah, so that what 41 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: they do is they break the players and the cheerleaders 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: up into four different groups, and then they send the 43 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: buses and then depending on the hospital, you either get 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: to go to rooms and visit kids, or they bring 45 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: the kids out into the big common room and then 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: and then they'll take some groups to kids rooms that 47 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: can't get out and come see and just to see 48 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: the kids. Some of those kids are in there for 49 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: months and years, and depending on which hospital you're at, 50 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: depends on what you know, what they have going on, 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: But just to see them forget about what's wrong with 52 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: them for a few minutes, you know, it's really cool 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: and I think it. I think it makes the parents 54 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: even you know, it's even better on the parents because 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: they get to see their kid actually smile, excite, right, 56 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: And that's what the staff was saying too. For the 57 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: parents just as much as the kids. It you know, 58 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: breaks up their days sometimes in those hospital rooms all 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: day long. So they were just saying that along with 60 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: all the patients, the parents just absolutely love it. Yep, 61 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: very cool. Would you do this weekend? Courtney? Yeah? What 62 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: did y'all? What did everybody? We didn't have football this 63 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: weekend for on? What did I even do this weekend? Literally? Nothing? 64 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: On Friday slept Saturday. Oh, watch college football. I thought 65 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't. Even if I went to Florida, I'd try 66 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: to forget about that too. It's fine, it's basketball. What 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: bowl are y'all going to? By the way, Um, it's 68 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: a really big one. It's probably played up here at 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: the Star and Frisco. It's so big, right, it's played 70 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: in our dreams. Oh, aren't going to a bowl at all? Now? 71 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: We were not bowl eligible? Kidne me. I thought you 72 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: only had to win six games to be Bowl eligible. Yeah, 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: this year wasn't. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to 74 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: bring that up. Oh, we got Dan Mullen back, so 75 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: we can talk to Dak and that's a good hire. Yeah. 76 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: So where did you guys go to school? I'm from Utah, 77 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: so I grew up in Utah. I went to Texas 78 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: Tech and I graduated him. Oh, you're a Red Raider, 79 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: I am. So did you guys dance in college or cheer? 80 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: I actually started with NBA right out of high school. 81 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: So I danced with the Utah Jazz for three years 82 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: and then the Phoenix Suns for three years, and then 83 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: now I'm here. So you went straight to the pros. 84 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: You didn't mess around and I went straight there. Okay, yeah, 85 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: what about you? I was on my college palm squad? Okay, well, 86 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: did you do it all four years? I didn't do 87 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: it my first year, so I just did it for three. 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: Wait a minutef you did it on your college palm squad? 89 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: Didn't That means you actually cheered at at and T 90 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: Stadium in college?

Yeah, that was a really 94 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: cool moment for me. Um. So every year when we 95 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: play Baylor atte Stadium, we get to meet the cheerleaders 96 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: and they come in and talk to all the spirit 97 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: squads for the schools, and this year I gotta be 98 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: the cheerleaders.

I knew some of them. 101 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: They actually only took freshman and seniors this year, and 102 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: we only have three seniors, so I knew some of 103 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: the freshmen, but it wasn't the whole team that went Okay, 104 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: so what made you guys so Tasha, this is your 105 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: second year. Yes, you're a rookie, almost not a rookie anymore. 106 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: We only have one home game. Can y'all believe that's 107 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: how fast did the season go this year? It's crazy 108 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 1: so fast. Faster than training camp, way faster than definite, 109 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: way faster than training camp. So walk us through, Tasha. 110 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: You go first, like, when did you know you wanted 111 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader? And then what made 112 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 1: you decide to say, Okay, I'm just up and moving 113 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: and going to do it. You know, I think I 114 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: always wanted to come audition, but coming from this small 115 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: town in Utah, I was kind of like, how am 116 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: I going to really do that? And so, like I said, 117 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: I started with Utah JAS for three years, and I 118 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: knew I wanted to move out of state, and so 119 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: that's when I decided to move to Arizona. So I 120 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: kind of like took these like steps because Dallas just 121 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: seemed way too big to ever do. And so the 122 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: small steps, I think is what gave me the courage 123 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: to like, Okay, let's do it. And then my husband 124 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: actually got a job offer in Dallas and so that 125 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: was take time and I was like, Okay, that's it, 126 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: I'm doing. Let's go like I want audition And so 127 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: that's when I was finally able to audition. So I 128 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: worked my way up a little bit because it was 129 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: it was a scary it was a scary dream. Yeah, 130 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, like I don't know, just coming from a 131 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: small town in Utah, I just didn't ever seem like 132 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: it would actually happen like I was. I was actually 133 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: a Dallas cowboy traitor for Halloween one years Yes, how 134 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 1: long ago was this? Um, let's see, it was probably 135 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: like five years ago. Really on a side by side yet, No, 136 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: I probably should do a TBT. Yes, we need to 137 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: see that, Yes, we need to I'll find it. What 138 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: about you? So for me, I grew up dancing at 139 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: his studio in play Now and there were two girls 140 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: that were cheerleaders while I was a student there, and 141 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: they were just, you know, the inspiration for me to 142 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: try out and what girls, um, Audrea, Yes, Justestine okay, yeah. 143 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: And then Jennifer Amburn also taught there when I was 144 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: a little older, and I did some camps with her. 145 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Jennifer has kind of been called out 146 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: of retirement A couple of times this season, right guys, Yeah, 147 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: oh yeah on the team. I saw that and I 148 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: was like, what is going on? So what started? But 149 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: why did she come out of what's going on with it? 150 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: She's a little thing, not out of her time. Yeah, 151 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: she's she's an All Star. So she's made an All 152 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Star this year. And anytime someone is injured or sick 153 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: for like a game one of us sholeaders, they bring 154 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: in an All Star to fill her spot for Thunder 155 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: and for the pregame. So Jennifer was the lucky person 156 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: that it got chosen for the first time that we 157 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: had someone injured. Yea, and she I think she's only 158 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: not done what one or two games? Yeah, I think 159 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: that's more stressful for her. Honestly, She's had to do 160 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: so many different parts, Like she's been right next to 161 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: me and that she's been like way up in the front, 162 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: and it's just crazy. I don't know how she does that. 163 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: And she changes, you know, all the different and it's 164 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: great for us. So then we don't have to be 165 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: the ones, you know, redoing formations and learning things.

She asked, Tasha, how do 333 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: you juggle being at DCC and an awesome mom? Well, 334 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: thank you for the awesome part. Um. You know, it's 335 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: I think just when you're a mom in general, you 336 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: start to organize better than you probably ever have and 337 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: it just kind of comes with it. And so I 338 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: think organization is key. Is if I can keep everything organized, 339 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: then I can do it. It's rough, you know, we 340 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: practice in the evenings late, then get up early the 341 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: next morning and get her to school and all of that. 342 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: But I just think when you love something, you just 343 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: do it. And so that's why it's never really been 344 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: like a tough thing of can I do this? Can 345 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: I not do this? Because I just love my job 346 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: and my daughter loves the Cowboys. She thinks it's awesome 347 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: that her mom's a cheerleader. And I was going to 348 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: ask to she like understand what you do or get 349 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: the scope of it or is it still Yeah, she does. 350 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: She she comes to a lot of the games, and 351 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: she'll come to different appearances that the cheerleaders are at, 352 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: and so I think like she actually gets it now, 353 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: which is cool, so she thinks it's awesome and she 354 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: wants to do when she grows up because she wants 355 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: her She's in cheerleading right now, so she said she's 356 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: getting some good practice in. Yeah she's seven. Yes, she's 357 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: so cute. Do you teach your routine? Means? Okay? That 358 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: was the first thing that she says she wanted to learn, 359 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: was like the kick line and like the jump split. 360 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: But she just does like a one leg bent, one 361 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: leg straight, kind of barely goes down because she's like, 362 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: I don't know how I guys do that. I'm like, 363 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: I don't know. We just kind of like whip it 364 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: out and hope each the best and you're done and 365 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 1: they're like, oh I did it, Okay, good, right now, 366 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: we'll do the rest of the game. So you're full 367 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: time mom, Yes, you work or do anything or just 368 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: full time mom um?

I put my hands 370 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: in a little bit of everything. Yeah, what about you. 371 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: I teach dance and I work at a fitness studio. Oh, 372 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: very cool, kind of all over the place. Yeah, okay, 373 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: very cool. Is that local or do you travel? You're 374 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: traveling Fitness. No, it's local, and they're two different dance studios. 375 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: So one's actually like right across the shop. It's the 376 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: same studio, but we have two locations. Um on's right 377 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: across the street from my house, and then one's the 378 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: one that I actually grew up dancing at. So it's 379 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: cool to the pictures of you upon. The location is different, 380 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: they moved it, but yeah, it's the same studio. So 381 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: my bus is the same, and it's being there with 382 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: all the people that I grew up with. So I 383 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: always ask this question and no one gives me a 384 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: straight answer. Everybody's kind of, oh, but is it too 385 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: early to ask if y'all are coming back next year? 386 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: You're all auditioning again. I'm re auditioning again. Okay, yes, 387 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: finally someone's like, yeah, I am. I think most of 388 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: the rookies are. I think that's just like, you know, 389 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: you want to do a second year for sure, because 390 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're just kind of like dipping our feet 391 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: in the water right now. We haven't gotten to experience 392 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: everything yet. You know, we haven't gone on calendar, we 393 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: haven't done anything. So and it goes so fast. Yeah, 394 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: it has gone by so fast. Like, like you said, 395 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: I'm almost not a rookie anymore. The year it's almost 396 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: over and it's crazy. So so you for sure? What 397 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: about you? Um, I haven't made the decision yet. Yeah, sure, 398 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: three sure. I mean, you know, it's it's hard, if 399 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: for nothing else, just the calendar shoot, it's hard to 400 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: give that up Like I would. I would probably go 401 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: through training camp and all the beating and everything during 402 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: the season just to be like, Okay, I get to 403 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: go spend ten days like in Paradise. That was amazing 404 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: and you never know where it's going to be. So 405 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: it's like, m was awesome. Yeah, to talk about that 406 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: a little bit because Tasha was a cover girl. Thanks. No. 407 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: Was it was so cool because we were on this beach, 408 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: a little island. It was like secluded, so there was 409 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: just not a lot of people around. It was pretty 410 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: much just us and whatever else was at the hotel 411 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: and Michael Phelps nobody, you know, no big deal. But yeah, 412 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: I mean it was just beautiful. The water that was 413 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: so blue like turquoise. Never seen water like that. And yeah, 414 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: I mean it didn't even feel like we were really 415 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: at work, you know, even on shoot days. It was 416 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: them pampering us, you know, them doing our hair and 417 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: makeup and making us feel great, and it was just 418 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: a great trip. Yeah. So how many how many days 419 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: did so we were there for ten days. How many 420 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: days did you actually shoot? Three? So three out of 421 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: the ten days. Yes, So the days I wasn't shooting, 422 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: I could do whatever I wanted. What did you do? Oh, 423 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: let's see. Sleep. We slept a lot late on the beach, 424 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: a lot. We took golf carts out once, like around 425 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: the little island. It was literally just a vacation. Yeah. 426 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: The coolest part to me about the whole thing is 427 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: like when we go to Mexico. It's beautiful and it's gorgeous, 428 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: but it's so spread out. You have to take vans. 429 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: Different crews have to take vans, and you're kind of 430 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: stuck all day at one spot or wherever the van goes. 431 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: So we were on I think it was the South 432 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: Island of Beminy. There's two different islands. You fly into 433 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: one and then you ferry across to the other. And 434 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: we were staying at Resorts World hotel that's there, and 435 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: it's like super nice hotel. It's like really cool and 436 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: the way you get around the island is everybody takes 437 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: golf carts. There's probably what fifteen cars on the whole island, 438 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: and that's some of the locals on them. So you 439 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: take a golf cart and it's literally seven minutes from 440 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: our resort to the other end of the island, so 441 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: you could just go back and forth all day. And 442 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: there's only about it's probably six bars on the whole island. 443 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: There's probably four restaurants. So it's like super cool and 444 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: it's but the only thing is, like, you know, where 445 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: every like you, there's not a whole lot of variety 446 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: because there's not a whole lot of spots to shoot. 447 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: So about day seven it was kind of like, okay, 448 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: where are we going today? Oh, I've kind of been everywhere, 449 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: So they had to get kind of creative with what 450 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: they were shooting. But super super cool and the locals 451 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: were so nice. It was just awesome. Yeah. See, So 452 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: I was lucky enough my group. One of the days 453 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: we shot, we were able to get excuse me, we'realty 454 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: go on a boat out and we found um like 455 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: a sunken juggle the shipwreck. I was so pissed off 456 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: that I didn't get to go on that. I was 457 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: so mad. That's the one thing I wanted to do 458 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: was jump off instagram a boat. I didn't want a model. 459 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to jump so I could get an Instagram picture. Yes, 460 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: I can't believe a toy. That was like one of 461 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: the best parts of the trip. Yeah. We got like 462 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: snorkeling gear and went out on the boat like snorkeled 463 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: through it. It was so cool, so cool. So mad 464 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: about that because there was this other wreck on like 465 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: the other side of the island where like a ship 466 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: had wrecked and had washed up on the shore. So 467 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: I actually got up on that one and clowned on 468 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: the top and jumped off that one. But it wasn't 469 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 1: near as cool as the big one. Well, you need 470 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: to get SCOOPA certified because I've dove through res I 471 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: am certified. Thank you? Have you do through recks? Now? 472 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: We are you Patty? Or now? He nowI? Yeah me too? 473 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: Um No, I dove. I dove the kelt beds out 474 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: in California one time, and I was freaked out because 475 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: there were sea lions all in them, and all I 476 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: can think about was like a great white shark just 477 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: coming out of nowhere. But you know what, that'd be 478 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: a hell of a way to go though, That's what 479 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: I think. Gosh, no, it would never want to die 480 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: that way. Oh why not? You'd rather like wither away 481 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: in a hospital bed. Nah, man, take me out, like 482 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: shake me out, skydive and just or eaten by shark 483 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: as long as he's not like chewing on me, as 484 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: long as he's just something epic. Yeah, something like. Yeah, 485 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: you guys, if you're sticking around to go on another 486 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: calendar shoot, you should try to get certified and do 487 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: a side off dive trap. You can do that when 488 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: you're on shoot, when when you're not doing anything right, 489 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: I mean, they kind of let us up to us. 490 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: We have three days of actual shooting. Yeah, and it's 491 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: it's if they It depends a lot on where you're 492 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: at too, because the island was so small, like they 493 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: pretty much had free rain to go do whatever. But 494 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: a lot of times, like if you're in Mexico and 495 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: you're on a resort, they don't want you to leave 496 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: in the resort because then you have to get in 497 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: a car and you actually have to go somewhere, and 498 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: then you know, they don't know what's they want, you know, 499 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: security reasons they keep you there, So I think it 500 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: depends on where you're at, but you know what they 501 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: So when the hurricanes went through down there, supposedly the 502 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: hurricanes sucked all the water out of like around the island, 503 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: so like for like a day or two, because it 504 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: pulled all the water out into the ocean. And I 505 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: heard that like there was just sand like where a 506 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: lot of that water was, and then like a day 507 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: later it came back into like the bays and stuff. 508 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: So that's crazy. Yeah, pretty crazy, yep, any other questions. 509 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: I read it last night and I can't remember where 510 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: I read it, but basically someone was asking who you 511 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: guys were closest to throughout your time in training camp, 512 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: Like who was your confidant you want me to go? Okay, 513 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: So I I mean I hung out with majority rookies obviously. 514 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: I feel like that's always kind of the thing, Like 515 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: the rookies, you know, we're in this together. We're all 516 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: trying to make the team together. The closest girl that 517 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: I became friends with with Alexis and we're actually rooming 518 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: together now. So yeah, my rookie year, um, all of 519 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: us rookie just like you said, like it's not really 520 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: like the weird bond. Yeah, and a lot of us 521 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: were from out of state, so I think we tended 522 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: to bond, you know, Heather, Maggie, m Maggie, you know, Um, 523 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: we tended to get a little bit closer, just because 524 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: we were all kind of in the same boat of 525 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: like not having family here. Yeah, and that like the 526 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: girls from out of state definitely have that different bond connection. Yeah. 527 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: Who's your best friend on the team. We're all best friends, 528 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: but um, I probably say best.
