It's going to be 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: a crazy week, you guys. And lambeau Field is my 18 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: favorite place by far to visit. I'm off and ass 19 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: what's your favorite road trip? And lambeau is the mecca 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: for professional football in my opinion. Sure, no place like home, 21 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: like at and T Stadium, but just from the historical 22 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: context some of the great games that we've had there, 23 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: this is the I've had this circled on the calendar 24 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: since we knew last year, of course that we were 25 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: going to be playing at Green Bay. But it's definitely 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: my favorite road trip. And I know that the Packers 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: are down a little bit this year, but still it's 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and it's going to be a lot of fun. 29 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: And so this is the one that I've really been 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: waiting for. Yeah, and I think you know, we've all 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: been waiting for this, as you know, Cowboys Nation with 32 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: the headlines of Mike McCarthy returning back to lambeau Field 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: as not the Green Bay head coach, right, So it's 34 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: something it's a storyline that writes itself really when it 35 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: comes to Mike McCarthy returning to lambau Field. I know 36 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: all of us. Christy was at the press conference. I 37 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: Asha and I watched it. Ladies. I wanted to get 38 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: your thoughts because Mike McCarthy was very vulnerable during this 39 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: press conference. And I say that lightly because vulnerable Mike 40 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: McCarthy is something that I feel like we get all 41 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: of the time when you really listen to him and 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: you hone in on his message. I think he's a 43 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: pretty vulnerable guy. However, he shed some tears today and 44 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: I think that was just something incredible. I really appreciate 45 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy for talking about everything he did with his 46 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: history and his past in Green Bay. But Christy, what 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: was the feeling in the press conference room today when 48 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was talking about returning to Green Bay with 49 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: everything that he has over there. Well, he held up 50 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: really well for most of the press conference, but of course, 51 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, the first what fourteen out of seventeen questions 52 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: probably or are about his return to Green Bay, And 53 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't until it was more of a personal question 54 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: regarding the family, because his wife, Jessica is from born 55 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: there and you know, longtime resident there. That's where they met, 56 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: that's where his two daughters were born and raised. Son 57 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time there, and so it wasn't 58 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: until the specific question was about the family and what 59 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay and the packer community meant to the family 60 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: that he started to get choked up a little bit 61 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: and then just researching some of the things. For example, 62 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy Way, which was renamed one of the Potts 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: Avenue which runs along Nichk Field. It runs from the 64 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: Fox River all the way to Lambeau Field. It was 65 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: renamed Mike McCarthy Way back in twenty fourteen. And so 66 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: with the dedication ceremonies talking about how humbled he is, 67 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: and he got a little choked up and emotional there. So, 68 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, you the thing about life in the NFL 69 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: is there's so much sacrifice with it, not just yourself personally, 70 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: but your family. And it's not just a career, it's 71 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: a whole lifestyle. And it's three hundred and sixty five 72 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: days a year. It's not just six months from training 73 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: camp through February, and so it's such a total commitment 74 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: that you have to put everything into it. And so 75 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: you don't just walk away from a community where you've 76 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: had so much success and where football is such a 77 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: part of the community and it's just gone and not 78 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: part of your life anymore. It's always going to be 79 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: a part of his life. So, you know, I enjoy 80 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: when Mike talks about the past and explay expresses some 81 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 1: of his vulnerable side. I think it makes him more relatable. Yeah, 82 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: and I know, Aisha, we were talking before the show 83 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: about how this press conference really shaped a mold for 84 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. It kind of confirmed what you already knew 85 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: about him being a head coach. Can you go ahead 86 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: and talk about that a little bit too, Yeah, No, 87 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: I think it was important for I think it was 88 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: important for people to hear the other side of what 89 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: coaching is like in this Can you hear me? I 90 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: can hear you? Sorry, that camera angle was not flattering, 91 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: so I just went ahead and tilted it down in 92 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: my ear talking about like I was just about to 93 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: tell you that bad But no, I think it's important. 94 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: I think it was important for fans and everyone to 95 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: kind of see we don't get to see head coaches 96 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: kind of be vulnerable like that about what this game 97 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: is done to them, but not only them, but their family. 98 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: And I think he touched on when he started talking 99 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: about his daughters, like, you know, obviously they have to move, 100 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: they have to adjust, and what that's kind of done 101 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: for his family with them being raised there. I mean, 102 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: twelve years is a long time in the football world 103 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: to be stationary somewhere and get comfortable. But I think 104 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: for a Cowboy Nation, if you want to get to 105 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: know your head coach a little bit more and wonder 106 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: why this locker room kind of seems a little bit different, 107 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: a little bit more cultured, a little bit more together. 108 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it stems from this head 109 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: coach and his example and what he is trying to 110 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: establish here. And also too, he talked about a couple 111 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: of nick Eamon asked a fantastic question about we know 112 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: it's not just you. We know it's not just you. 113 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: There are ten different coaches or coordinators on this team 114 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: that have come from Green Bay that you know. Mike 115 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: McCarthy mentioned, even Joe Wi Junior he had a long 116 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: tenure there at Green Bay, so there are not just him. 117 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,119 Speaker 1: There are other emotions from key positions on this team 118 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: that you know, established themselves with other places. And even 119 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: Joe Wi Junior mentioned when he first got hired here 120 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: that he mentioned his daughters, He mentioned his family, you know, 121 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: the stability, and again, I just think it's important. This 122 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: was a good conversation to be had. I thought that 123 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: the questions that the different media folks asked were very 124 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: intuitive and it was nice to get another glimpse into 125 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: the other side of being a head coach and being 126 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, involved in this football life that is very 127 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: time demanding. Yeah, and to be honest, I think watch 128 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: this press conference. Um, even before starting this podcast, I 129 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: know I would always just listen in on press conferences 130 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: throughout the years. This probably tops as my favorite press 131 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: conference that I've seen from a Cowboys head coach since 132 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: I started watching them, and only because of that. It 133 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: talks a lot about the sacrifices that you know, these 134 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: coaches make you think about the players and all of 135 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: that as well, but kind of you kind of backlog 136 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: the coaches and the sacrifices that, like you said, Christy, 137 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: their families are making and all of that. And something 138 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: that I really loved how he corrected was he said, yeah, 139 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, um, when I when I think about Green 140 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: Bay and Dallas, I think about the non catch and 141 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: he goes, wait, wait, wait, let me correct that it 142 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: was the It was the catch that was ruled not 143 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: a catch, right. So I like how he kind of 144 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: teeters that line a little bit, all in good fun. 145 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: Of course, we know we know it was a catch, 146 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: So we end on that note but you know, I 147 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: wanted to throw in some other things that he had mentioned, 148 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: you know, switching gears a little bit, because he did 149 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: talk about how he didn't expect Zeke to participate in 150 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: practice today. Keep in mind it was a very light workload. Um, 151 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: definitely not a full practice there. So I say all 152 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: of this, just keep it in mind, um, Lee Cooker 153 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: would was expected to be limited at that point. Sam 154 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: Williams expected to practice. And then James Washington, he said, 155 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: quote talking about him this week. They are talking about 156 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: him this week. So I think that is a good 157 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: indicator that very soon. How soon, we don't know yet. 158 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: But a couple other things to thrown there as well. 159 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: I think they have a practice. I think he said 160 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: they're going to have a late practice today about four o'clock. So, um, 161 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: then you know, I guess we'll get updates then. And yeah, 162 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: they had to move it indoors with the yeah, because 163 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: of the weather. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's sprinkling, y'all. Don't 164 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: don't it's sprinkling. You know what. I will say this 165 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: about Dallas weather. It is sprinkling, and you would look 166 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: outside and think it's sweater weather. It is so humid 167 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: it's outside, it is muggy, it is humid. But anyways, 168 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: this Dallas weather is something else.

Well, first of all, hey, everybody, 231 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: I love having Thanks for having me. I'm so excited. 232 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: But when we found out that we were performing with 233 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: the Jonas Brothers, my nine year old little heart went crazy. 234 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to cry. I didn't, I kept it together. 235 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: But immediately I went home and I posted a picture 236 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: of me and my dad at my first Jonas Brothers concert. 237 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: Way back, Oh, I go way back. Me and the 238 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: Joe Bros. Kai, we just became best friends. I just 239 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: want to throw that weight. But are you with Joe, 240 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Kevin or Nick im Okay, here's the thing. I started 241 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: as a Joe girl, and then as I got older, 242 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: I became a Nick girl. But that's because I met 243 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: Nick and Nick was very nice. So I haven't met 244 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: the other two yet to give you a good, good 245 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: answer here. But are you a Joe, Nick or Kevin? Girl? 246 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: That's important. My loyalty is to Nick. Okay, my loyalty 247 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: is to Nick. But I think that's only because we 248 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: had curly hair. Oh so we shared a bond, you know, 249 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: I would say that beautiful. Well, so, like we heard 250 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day halftime performance, y'all are working with the Jonas Brothers. 251 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Obviously we know you're very excited, but can you talk 252 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: about the preparation that goes into that halftime show? Yes? No, 253 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: of course. With the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, we want to 254 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: put excellence in everything that we do, and so we 255 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: work really really hard, whether that's in the studio or 256 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: outside of the studios studio as well, and I'm telling you, 257 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: working with thirty six women like them is amazing because 258 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: everyone brings something different to the table and it's amazing 259 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: to be a part of such a team like this. 260 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: So being able to perform with just an internationally aimed 261 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: artist like the Jonas Brothers is insane because we want 262 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: to make sure that we live up to that standard 263 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: of being able to not just perform for an amazing concert, 264 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: but for an amazing opportunity of the primary source of 265 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: really raising awareness for the Salvation Army. And I think 266 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: we kind of the concert kind of overdes that sometimes, 267 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: and I think it's really important to talk about that's 268 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: not the primary source of the concert. It's really to 269 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: magnify just the awareness of the Salvation Army. So I'm 270 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: so glad that we get to be a part of that. 271 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: And I'm glad that you mentioned that each of your 272 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: teammates on DCC bring your own unique selves, your own 273 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: unique style, because I think that people that don't get 274 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: to see you at home games or see you on TV, 275 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: that they think there's a certain profile and they don't 276 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: really realize that the DCC is a tapestry of all 277 00:14:53,480 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: different styles looks, and you can all bring it all 278 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: together to make this wonderful tapestry. Bring it all together. 279 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: But one thing that I is my favorite over the 280 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: past several years with DCC is my Cause, formerly my 281 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: cause my boots, but my Cause my star And it's 282 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: something where you each have a unique cause that you 283 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: want to bring more attention to. And so first of all, 284 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: let's start at the beginning and explain to everyone what 285 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: is my cause, My Star because this month you're going 286 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: to be filming your videos and talking about your specific 287 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: causes near and dear to your hearts. Yes, so, as 288 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: you said, My Cause, My Star is new for DCC 289 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: this season because we did My Cause My Boots, but 290 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: it's very similar to the NFL players and then talking 291 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: about My Cause My cleats and they just everything that 292 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: they do are amazing, But we also want to be 293 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: included in that and just really show that we have 294 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: another side to us of that we're also just humans 295 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: as well, that we care about certain topics. And so 296 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: with My Cause, My Star, we actually got to make 297 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: our own little stars this year. They really made it 298 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: clear that they wanted each star to represent the girl 299 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: in their heart and what we really stand up for. 300 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: And so mine is suicide Awareness and that's the purple 301 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: and the teal. But it's amazing we have so many 302 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: other causes, but it's amazing that we'll get to see 303 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: all the different stars out on the field and just 304 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: kind of showing our hearts on our uniform. And why 305 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: did you choose the specific cause? Yes, so suicide awareness 306 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: is really close to me because I lost one of 307 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: my friends to suicide back in high school, and it's 308 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: true what they say. It's definitely the person that you 309 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: would least expect it to happen because she was just 310 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: full of joy and life and we didn't know that 311 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: all of that was kind of masked by things that 312 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: she was going through on her own. And so for me, 313 00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: I really want to be there for people who are 314 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: going through the depression, the anxiety, the suicidal thoughts because 315 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the times, I think when we talk 316 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: about those things, we kind of shut down. We're like, WHOA, 317 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: that's too dark, that's too dark of a conversation. But 318 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: I think it's time to really normalize that topic of 319 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: suicide because it truly can save a life in those 320 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: conversations are hard, but necessary. And so when I wear 321 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: this star, it's for all those people who feel like 322 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: they had no one, but in reality, they have a 323 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: whole bunch of people on their team and I'm included 324 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: in that. So, yeah, you'll be typing your videos soon. 325 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: But and the game will actually be the December fourth 326 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: game when Indianapolis comes to AT and T Stadium, But 327 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: we mentioned that previously. It was my cause my boots. Yes, 328 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: So can you tell us why you've switched to the star, 329 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: which is going to be on the left lapel of 330 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: your uniform.

I can do them off. 350 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: So many there's Oh my goodness, there's just so many 351 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: cat Hers is going to represent the Boys and Girls Club, 352 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: just going down all of this. So you have Claire 353 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: for autoimmune Um, you have just so many things, Darien 354 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: for racial injustice. I'm just going down the list here 355 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: and just picking and choosing ovary and cancer awareness with Kayla. 356 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: But I mean, there's just so many different causes and 357 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: we're reading down down this list that Christie printed. But um, 358 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, I just think it's so important for everybody 359 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: to know that, you know, you guys are doing this 360 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: and you're bringing awareness to subjects that, like you said, 361 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: maybe aren't talked about enough. I know, working in mental 362 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: health for a little while, it's it's definitely not talked 363 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: about enough, and it's very stigmatized that if you talk 364 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: about it, people are are going to, you know, do 365 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: something the opposite of what you're wanting. And it's actually 366 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: studies have shown that the more you talk about it, 367 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: the less likely people are going to act on these things. 368 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: And so Katie, Ona, just thank you so so much 369 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: for talking about your cause and and you know why 370 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: it's so important to you. But back to you know, 371 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: back to Christie's question, of orum. I Usha's question of 372 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: which other one really sticks out to you from your 373 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: teammates on this gorgeous list right now, because there's a lot. Yes, No, 374 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: it's really hard just to pick a one. But if 375 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: I had to choose another one, I would definitely have 376 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: to say when it comes to just the mental health awareness, 377 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: that's a huge one. But another one that I am 378 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: in love with is going to have to be my 379 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: Marissa girl a Merca g she's doing domestic violence awareness 380 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: right now, and again that's another topic that's really really 381 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: hard to talk about and one that I think sometimes anybody, 382 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: and not just woman, anyone has a hard time like 383 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: coming up forward and saying like, yes, I've actually gone 384 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: through this. And I think it's hard when you just 385 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: see us in the uniform that you don't think that 386 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: we have gone through some certain things. But there are 387 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: a lot of things that us as a woman have 388 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: gone through. And so I'm just really proud that she's 389 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: my friend and that she's sticking up for herself and 390 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: other people as well who's gone through that. That's why 391 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: it's so important, because Katieana, you know what it's like 392 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: to be a DCC and have over ninety three thousand 393 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: people at a home game, so you get to perform 394 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: on the world's largest stage. But I think that so 395 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: many fans have this idealized view of DCC and so, 396 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: like you said, you when you as young ladies, can 397 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: put yourselves out there and say, hey, it hasn't always 398 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: been easy. I remember this is several years ago going 399 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: with a DCC down in Grander in Granberry, Texas to 400 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: Happy Health Farm, and it was just small. It was 401 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: the group leaders from DCC talking with the high school 402 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: girls that live on Happy Health Farm and it's for 403 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: at risk youth, and it was so impactful because they 404 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: look at you guys and think everything's perfect. But the 405 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: way that you can relate to them, I just think 406 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: that's what's really special. And just from a judges' perspective, 407 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: it's really interesting how my Cause previously my Cause my Boots, 408 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: now My Cause my Star is something that the DCC 409 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: rookie hopefuls know about and in fact it was asked 410 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: about and the audition process. When did you first become 411 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: aware of My Cause my Star, I Cost my Boots, 412 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: like you were talking about right off the bat, because 413 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: when you open up that application process and that application form. 414 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: That's one of the first questions that you're asked, actually, 415 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: and I left that because that's when I realized that 416 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: this team is way beyond just the dancer. They want 417 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: to know about the girl and what they're actually going 418 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: to stand up for and someone that's going to be 419 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: a game changer and make a difference. And so that's 420 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: why I love this team so much, because it's not 421 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: just about the uniform. It's not just about rooting on 422 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but it's also about making a difference and 423 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: standing up for what we personally believe in, what we're 424 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: passionate about. Yeah, can I do want to ask about 425 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: one thing because there's something coming up. It's just a 426 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: couple of weeks away. It begins Friday, November eighteenth. Actually, 427 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna hold on that because we do 428 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: have to take another break. But real quick, while we're 429 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: on the topic, we talked about Christmas and yes, I'm 430 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be the crismus. I'm trying to but 431 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: I did want to cut to break real quick, but 432 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: real quick for Katie Ona again, you mentioned you're a 433 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: second year VET with DCC. Can you talk about the 434 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: audition process and all of that. What that was like 435 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: for you, because it is so unreal going through that, 436 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: So talk about that, and then of course we're going 437 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: to cut a break and we'll talk about Christmas because 438 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to become the Grinch of the show. 439 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: Oh no, of course. So, like you said, I'm a 440 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: second year VET, and I think this year was definitely 441 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: different than my first year. My first year, I had 442 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: no expectations. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. 443 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: I was just really praying about it and be like, 444 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: you know what, Jesus take the wheel. If they liked me, great, 445 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: if they don't try to get next year. But this 446 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: year is definitely like a different mindset because I wanted 447 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: to go in just really showing them that just Katie 448 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: Ona truly, because I think last year I was little timid, 449 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: and of course I am just very outgoing. I love 450 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: just being myself and that personality. But this year I 451 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: really just wanted to step out of my comfort zone 452 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: and be like, hey, there's another Katie on another part 453 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: of me that I haven't shown y'all yet. And it 454 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,239 Speaker 1: was the first year with my curly hair too, So 455 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: love it. Thank you. So I think my confidence really 456 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: just like skyrocket this year, and I hope I showed 457 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: them that because the process is long and it's not 458 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: just a physical process, it's a mental process as well. 459 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: But it really shows you who you are as a 460 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: woman and how strong you are as a woman because 461 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: you're not just out there by yourself. You have so 462 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: many people out there, like it's not a competition at all. 463 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: Everyone there is rooting for you, and it's amazing just 464 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: to see that. And truly, I love tryouts, Like tryouts 465 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: is one of my favorite things because you get to 466 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: meet new people, you get to bond with new people, 467 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: but you're also coming together doing one thing that you 468 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: love and that's dancing and rooting for each other. So 469 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: I love the tryout process. Well, thank you for touching 470 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: base on that.

What 513 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: a steal. I'd love saving money. I'll know this and 514 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: the best part of those camps, the Dance Academy part 515 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: of it is that it's actually the DCC. The current 516 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: DCC are the actual instructors, and it's about so much 517 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: more than teaching dance steps and some fun choreography that 518 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: is specifically age group related, so six to sixteen. But 519 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: I know that one of the things, Kadiana, that you 520 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: try to emphasize is the real meaning of DCC. So 521 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: I'd love for you to share that with everyone. Yes, No, definitely. 522 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: So when it comes to the camps, I don't know 523 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: if you guys know, but we have the dance portion, 524 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: but we also have a portion where we get to 525 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: sit down with the girls and actually talk about what 526 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: DCC actually means. So we really sit down with them 527 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: and we say it means dedication, and then we have 528 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: all the girls say Okay, how can you be dedicated? 529 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: Tell us more and tell us more. And then we 530 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: have character, and then we have community, and we're really 531 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: just kind of teaching them life life lessons and making 532 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: sure that they know that we're not just dancers. We're 533 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: actually people who are going out into our communities and 534 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: making a difference. And I think that's another amazing part 535 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: of the camps. Like you were talking about that, we're 536 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: not just dancing, but we're also learning life lessons and 537 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: I think that's really cool, and it's it's impactful for 538 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 1: generations to come and things that they're going to remember 539 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: as they get older and as they grow up. So 540 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: that's very exciting and something else very exciting. Christie, I'm 541 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: not trying to be the grand show. We can finally 542 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: talk about Christmas at the Star. Can you please talk 543 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: about how DCC is involved with Christmas at the Star 544 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: because it is a ship, is it product? It is 545 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: really production. It's kind of like a Broadway show almost. 546 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: It's the closest thing I'm probably gonna get to being 547 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: on a Broadway show. I would have to say. But no, 548 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: it is unlike anything that I've ever been a part of. 549 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: And I think with DCC, I think we love to 550 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,239 Speaker 1: just like I said, that excellence behind everything. But it 551 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: really takes a team. And so it's not just us 552 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: out there dancing. We also have We're them in Blue, 553 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: and then we have the Rookie squad and all the 554 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: kids that are a part of it. We have Santa 555 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: come in. I know Santa, it's a done deal, but 556 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: it's so much fun to just gather your friends and 557 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: your family. And it's a free event as well, which 558 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: is insane. And we have so many lights, so many fireworks, 559 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: there's so much that goes into it. It really just 560 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 1: brings the holidays spirit and I love it so much. 561 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: And I love it.

It's 567 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: the perfect family event and I can't tell you over 568 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: the past few years how much how many family members 569 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: I've brought to enjoy it.

What can they expect to see? And I'm 578 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: kind of going for the uniforms because it's it's it's 579 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: bright and fun and different. There are a lot of 580 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: uniform changes, but like I said, we have guests appearances 581 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: who light up the Christmas Former Cowboys, yes, former Cowboys. 582 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: We had Miss Texas one year come in.

But we 586 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: have like our Santa Baby uniform and then we have 587 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: our electric how Girl uniforms and they actually light up 588 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: so yes, so it's like a it looks like a 589 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: puffer coat almost and it just has lights all throughout it. 590 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: And then our palms also have lights throughout them.

The at the artificial surface, 597 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: it looks like the playing field at at and T 598 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: Stadium with the Blue Star and the end zones with Cowboys. 599 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: But I like to describe it as a rock Fellow 600 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: Center Christmas kind of thing. There's a large Christmas tree 601 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: that has led light displays, and so the chair Katie 602 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: Ona and the other DCC there'll there'll be a main stage, 603 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: there'll be dancing around the Christmas tree all in between, 604 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: and it's really it really is a show stopper.

The Star lit up. Basically, 609 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: you get Santa and you get photo ups. Oh yes, 610 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: all of that combined and more. Oh yeah, it's not 611 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: even all of it. Yeah. Well, you can also go 612 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: online to the Star and Frisco dot com and inside 613 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: the pro Shop, which is adjacent to Tostito's Plaza, they 614 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: create a little Christmas Cowboys Santa Village and so you 615 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: can go online and make your reservations even now to 616 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: have your photos with Santa. They started to the packages 617 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: start at forty dollars enough, but there are so many families. 618 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: I highly encourage fans to go ahead and reserve a 619 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: time online because it's a very popular thing. But it's 620 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: really a unique family photo with Santa and a cowboys setting, 621 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: and so it's become really not just the show, but 622 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: the experience with Santa. I think it's become a family 623 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: tradition for a lot of families in the area. My 624 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: family's coming every year now. No I took a picture 625 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: with Santa. Last year, I just moved here and my 626 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: dog and I went, so Toby and I took a 627 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: picture with Santa.

I don't know how well. 630 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: I wish my dogs could do that. Yeah, I don't 631 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: know if we can, but Toby definitely but perfect. Perfect. 632 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: As we wrap a bow on this Christmas conversation, I 633 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: did want to ask you ladies real quick. We do 634 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: have about ten minutes left about the NFL East. We're 635 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: coming off of a bye week here, So I just 636 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: wanted to give y'all a reminder if you had your 637 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: bye week break, as most people did, kind of what 638 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: the NFC East is looking like right now. So let 639 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: me pull this up all right. So keep in mind 640 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: that the Eagles played the Texans on Thursday night, they 641 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: beat them twenty nine seventeen. The Commanders lost to the 642 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: Vikings twenty two seventeen, and the Giants also had a 643 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: bye week last week. So your NFC East standings and 644 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: NFC East NFC Beast really is what it looks like. 645 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,439 Speaker 1: The Eagles. This pains me to say. You guys, they're 646 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: still undefeated. They are a and O in first place. 647 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are six and two and second, The Giants 648 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: are also six and two and third, and the Commanders 649 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: are four and five and fourth place.

I mean yeah, 660 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: I mean yeah. I mean anytime you play Green Bay 661 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: as a like the Cowboys played Green Bay, it's a 662 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: big deal. But the Cowboys have a unique opportunity to 663 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: just kind of knock the Green Bay Packers out of 664 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: the playoff contention, and with a win this week, that 665 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: would do that. And I think that's important to a 666 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: lot of Cowboys folks who don't want to see Aaron 667 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: Rodgers in any capacity in the playoffs. And I also 668 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: think it's going to be an important confident builder, confidence 669 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: builder for this team going up their Lambo's not easy 670 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: to play in, like, regardless of how we feel about 671 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: what's going on within the NFC, Like it's difficult. But 672 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: this time of the year is my favorite time of 673 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: the year because he starts seeing who's what and who's 674 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: not what, and like what's really going on with everybody? 675 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: You start seeing some key injuries. I know Green Bay 676 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: had some key injuries this week, and I think this 677 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: is this is about that time when you start seeing, um, 678 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 1: these type of things happen and you see if teams 679 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: can bounce back. Cowboys went through this early in the 680 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: season this year, so um, I just this is the 681 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: latter part of the season, my favorite part of the year. 682 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see how things start panning out, 683 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: especially in the NFC. What do you think, Christy Well, 684 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: I think being set up for exciting games in December 685 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: is what it's all about. And Katie Onna, I want 686 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: to know what it was like last year. It was 687 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: your rookie year and the Cowboys, you know, with the 688 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: with the twelve wins, the important games in December and 689 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,439 Speaker 1: then the playoff game. How did you describe that atmosphere 690 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: being down on the field, coming out, coming out for 691 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: Thunderstruck whenever three thousand fans. I love to know what 692 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: that feels like to come out of that town with 693 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: the music starting and you know that you know that 694 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: everyone is so jazzed. Don't kick off the party at 695 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: eighteen type stadium. Let me just say, you hear Thunderstruck, 696 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: you know it's talking the gutart man. That's the way 697 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: the little CDC. Oh yes, um no, I thought my 698 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: first game was going to be memorable. No, that game, 699 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. The playoff game was insane. I have 700 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. It was just I think 701 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: that one was the white towels, correct white out. It 702 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: was the white out and I just remember looking around 703 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, is white our main color now? 704 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: Because that's what it looks like. I was like, Oh 705 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: my goodness, this is a lot. But no, the atmosphere 706 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: is insane. I swear I felt the stadium shake doing thunder. 707 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness, this is awesome. But no, 708 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: it was an amazing experience. And that game was you know, 709 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: we know we it was memorable. It was very I 710 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: was there. It's great about DCC, though, is you guys 711 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: really have your finger on the energy level because as 712 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot of what you do is way before kickoff, 713 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: like out in the Miller Light Plaza and all of that. 714 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: So what is that like as part of the pregame 715 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: atmosphere on game day? Oh no, definitely, it's just like 716 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: gearing up for the game day. It really sets the 717 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: tone for what the game's going to be. Um, not 718 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: just for the fans, but for us as well, because 719 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: going out to Miller Lighthouse and performing there, you can 720 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: already sense just everybody's energy and they're excited. So we 721 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: love that we get to be a part of that. 722 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: But that also gets us ready to go out and 723 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: perform of course for that pre game and just get 724 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: ready and get ready to cheer on the Cowboys and 725 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: hopefully they feel that energy as well that day. And 726 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: also just the amount of cardio for these games. I mean, 727 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: y'all are dancing pre game. You kick off the game 728 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: with Thunderstruck, and then you're dancing every time music is 729 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: playing in the stadium. Can you talk about that? Just 730 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,720 Speaker 1: you know how much energy goes into these games for y'all. Oh, yes, definitely. 731 00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: There are so many songs get favorite. I mean, I 732 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: feel like Jiggy do they come on about the chairs up? 733 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: That's every pregame You're American woman, And I'm like, I'm right, 734 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: h But no, truly all of them are. I mean, 735 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 1: I love my free Game, I love the Miller Lighthouse 736 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 1: Baby I'm a Stars is one of my favorite favorite 737 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: performances ever as well. Um, but no, just being out 738 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: there and getting to do it. It's Yes, it's a 739 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: lot of cardio and it's a lot of stamina. But 740 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: it's also like being out there for the football players. 741 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: They're doing just as much as we are, and so 742 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 1: just doing it for them and just for the fans 743 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: is what we're doing it for and like why we're 744 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 1: out there, So it's worth that. And then I get 745 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 1: to go home and eat a cheeseburger. Oh, Naki's on 746 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: the sideline.
