Speaker 1: did this happen? So we met n we met last

20
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: year in training camp. I remember meeting Madeleine at our

21
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: first meeting. Um, we always meet in the atrium under

22
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: the sparkly lights in wait. So you met her last

23
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: year at training camp. So you tried out before and

24
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: didn't make it. Well I made it, yeah, but didn't

25
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: make the final time. So you tried out two years

26
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: made it your second year. Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna ask

27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: a lot of questions that we'll go back to that.

28
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Let's at wrote the friendship story. So we were we

29
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: met there at before the first meeting, and then we

30
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: sat next to each other because it's an alphabetical order,

31
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: so our names are right next to each other, so

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: our lockers were by each other. Um, all summer and

33
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: I just knew right away that we had a special

34
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: bond and we clicked right away, and I feel like

35
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: we're like dating. But she was just we got along

36
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: so easily and had mutual interests and when you know,

37
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, when you know, you know. Lexie was

38
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: so great too, because I like, I'm not from Texas,

39
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm from Illinois, and Alexi did a really great job

40
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: of you know, so this is like how you wear

41
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: eyelashes and this is how you go channing. This is

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: barbecue to hear barbecue. And then when I got cut,

43
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: she was like so supportive and really kind and like,

44
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, she was very on top of making sure

45
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: that I was motivated to come try out again. So

46
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: not that I had to do anything all because you know, Madeline,

47
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: getting cut was definitely one, I think probably the hardest

48
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: for me, one of the hardest last year, and just

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: because I saw something special in you, and I knew

50
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: that it wasn't really a matter of if she was

51
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: going to make it, but win. And she was motivated

52
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: right away I knew. I think we met, you know,

53
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: one of the times we had coffee in September October,

54
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: and she was already talking about tryouts and how she

55
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: was going to get ready next year. But she also

56
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: went about it in a great way because she took

57
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: time for herself and just let herself grow. And you know,

58
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: you were motivated from the beginning. And thanks. I was

59
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: a proud friend for sure. You just love her. So

60
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: how did you How did did you guess stay in

61
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: touch whenever you got cut? Did you go back to Illinois? Um?

62
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: I went back to Illinois briefly because it was like

63
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: around the fourth of July and I started like vacation. Yeah,

64
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: I just went to spend some time with my family

65
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: and just kind of because May was such a crazy month.

66
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: I was trying to graduate college and audition at the

67
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: same time and move and so was crazy. And so

68
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: I got to spend time with my family and then

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: I came back here and I was like, you know what,

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: I made a great friend. I'm determined to make the team.

71
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: So I decided to stay in Dallas and really, yeah,

72
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: I stay in Dallas this whole past year. That's kind

73
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: of cool. That had to take some guts. Yeah, well,

74
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: it was like it was funny because I found out

75
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: about training camp and then I had to go back

76
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: to school to graduate. And I was talking to one

77
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: of my friends and he was like, Okay, so let

78
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: me get this straight. You don't have any family down there,

79
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: you don't have an apartment, you don't have a job

80
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: for you don't even know if you're going to make

81
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: the team, and you don't really have like any concrete

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: friends yet. And I was like that correct, true, that's true. Okay,

83
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: so you're a little crazy off life on the edge,

84
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: didn't have furniture there for a while the beginning. Oh yeah,

85
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: I was on just her mattress. Yeah, I was sleeping

86
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: on an air mattress. I've been there before. Yeah, yeah,

87
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Well Janelle was living in the days in so yes,

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for the girls who

89
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: come from out of state, out of country because although

90
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: this was hard for me, I've always lived thirty minutes away.

91
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. It takes a lot to move your

92
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: whole life here and so you can go home and

93
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: cry to your mom exactly. So what was that? Like,

94
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: what was your I'm always fascinated by like people's psyche

95
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: when they do something like that, because it's such a

96
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: big deal to like you have nothing, you know nobody,

97
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: and it's just like, you know what, I'm gonna do this,

98
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Like what made you just go? Yeah? But still you

99
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: can have goals and dreams and say, you know what,

100
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back next year and do it.

101
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: But just to be like, you know what, I'm all in,

102
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing it again. I'm just leaving everything, Like that's

103
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: got to be scary and kind of exciting at the

104
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: same time. It was, but it was kind of the

105
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: only thing that was like making sense to me because

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I know how to dance,

107
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: and I know that I can do this, and I

108
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: know how to make friends and I know how to

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: be on a team. So I was like, let's just

110
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: pursue it. Let's keep going, and let's go for the

111
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: biggest possible dream because that's what life is all about,

112
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: and make the dream come true. But it was definitely

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: very weird because like I have a picture in my

114
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: head of my parents sitting in the front seat of

115
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: my car and then me in the backseat with all

116
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: my clothes and just mean like, okay, we're doing it.

117
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: This is all I got. Yeah, clothes. Yeah. And we

118
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: were trying to find an apartment because I didn't know

119
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: really the Dallas area like at all. I didn't know,

120
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, the relationship between the Star and the in

121
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: Dallas and you know, like where was the best place

122
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: to live and expenses and all of that. So I

123
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: was just like, I think I'm going to live in

124
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: Frisco because I know I'll be at the Star and

125
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that I know as of right now.

126
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: And so and I ended up working out and I

127
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: really like the life I've made down here. So what

128
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: did you do that? That's what I was going to ask.

129
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Would you do to prep in that meantime? Not even

130
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: just like would you do in your free time? Yeah,

131
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: prep and come back better and stronger. There is such

132
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: a great dance community in Dallas, and Jen Ambern has

133
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: an awesome prep class. Stephanie has great classes. Honestly, a

134
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: lot of veterans from DCC are putting forth, you know,

135
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: all of their experience and trying to make the dream

136
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: happen for others, which you have to really like, appreciate

137
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: and love. And so I just tried to seize like

138
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: every opportunity of that. And they have great prep classes

139
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: here at the Star and you get to see some

140
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: of the girls in like their practice clothes, like helping

141
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: everybody out, and so I don't know, I just tried

142
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: to take every single class. And it was really cool

143
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: because Aaron got cut as well. We both made it

144
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: to training camp and we both got cut, and so

145
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: her and I were kind of like running the race

146
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: together and trying to make it happen and motivating each

147
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: other because we both know what it felt like to

148
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: be in that room and then to get cut and

149
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: want to go back. Lexie. Just looking at your face

150
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: while she was talking, you look like a proud mom.

151
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: You're just like, yeah, you're doing amazing, really right. I

152
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: was so proud because she treated it like it was

153
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: a job. You know. She was very it was very structured.

154
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: She was in class one to four times a week,

155
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: if not more. She was putting all of the extra time, money,

156
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: effort into everything. You know, it's not always easy prepping.

157
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot that goes into it besides

158
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: just being present, and she just put everything into it.

159
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: So I was so proud of her. And I think

160
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: that if you're going to go for something like this

161
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: or anything in life, you know, you have a big

162
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: dream like this, then that's the way that you have

163
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: to go into it. You know, nobody's most people don't

164
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: make this team just by showing up and hoping that

165
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: it works out. You have to go the extra fifty

166
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: miles in order for it to work out. Yeah, I

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: was proud of her. When you weren't dancing and preparing

168
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: and all that, we were you working? Were you doing anything?

169
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: What were you doing to like stay busy? Yeah, all

170
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: the time. Yes, I was working at Livelove Game Day

171
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: which is a clothing place, and I was also working

172
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: at a bar studio, so I was just trying to

173
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: stay busy and make some money and you know, trying

174
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: to afford all those prep classes wait for the months

175
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: to tick by so you could travel. Lexie was so great,

176
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Like I she is not getting enough credit right now

177
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: for how awesome she was. We're just bragging on each other.

178
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: That's fine, um, but she was just like so supportive

179
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: and I don't even know, like you just had so

180
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: many great little like tidbits of advice and being like, Okay,

181
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: this is what you'll need to know and this is

182
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: how this went. And um. So it was like even

183
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: just nice to have some of that feedback as she

184
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: was going through her rookie year to you know, keep

185
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: me motivated. Yeah. You know, what's one of the most

186
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: awesome things about being around like you guys and hearing

187
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: all these stories. It's like, we live in such a

188
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: day and age where you see all this bs that's

189
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: going on on social media and people cutting each other

190
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: down and people, you know, men talking about them being

191
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: cheerleaders for each other. No, no, no, no, it's much

192
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: deeper than that. It's like, but no, because it's true,

193
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: but you see no you see in society now, you

194
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: see people the way that people make themselves feel better

195
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: about themselves as they attack other people and they cut

196
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: other people down and they talk about other people's other

197
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: they're really insecure and they're going after other people to

198
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: make themselves feel better. But like in the tryouts and everybody, everybody,

199
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: even though you're you're trying to make a spot and

200
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: you know there's only so many spots, everybody, really, I

201
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: feel like, genuinely wants everyone else to make it. Like

202
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: you want to make it too. You don't want really

203
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: want somebody to make it at the expense of you,

204
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: but you want to see all your friends and everybody,

205
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: Like I don't feel like there's anybody that's ever said man,

206
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: I really hope she doesn't make it. Now. Maybe that

207
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: goes on behind the scenes, but you just get the

208
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: feeling that everybody wants everybody. Literally go look at any

209
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: post on Instagram that they post, and all in the

210
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: comments is thirty six comments from everybody on the team.

211
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god, fire, oh stunning. Wow, they're literally every

212
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: single picture. Yeah, at least half of you guys are

213
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: commenting on each other like Oh my god, amazing. It's

214
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: a cool bond because you like, you go through the

215
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: whole training camp process and you're like, this is a

216
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: person who understands me, so it's like easy to support that,

217
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: right And to what you were saying, you know, you

218
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: are competing for a spont on the team, but at

219
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it is mostly about competing

220
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: with yourself because they're able to see if you're not

221
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: your best self, and I think that that's when you

222
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: know people ultimately get sent home. Rather than oh, I'm

223
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: competing against her versus her, blah blah blah. It's really

224
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: just about putting your best foot forward. And I think

225
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: that that's why it makes it easy to support each

226
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: other because that's just kind of an understood thing. And

227
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: everybody brings different things to the table, so everybody's journeys

228
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: are different. It's easy to respect and appreciate what other

229
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: people go through to get to where we are. Yeah.

230
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: I made a big weird face a few minutes ago,

231
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: and I know you I saw it because on Facebook

Speaker 1: pretty much, I'm I'm in the wings. I'm waiting whenever

308
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm needed at the game. So obviously we do appearances

309
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: and we do a lot of other stuff as well.

310
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: But at the games, I actually I've learned the routines

311
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: and I'm the I guess it's the swing role for

312
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: the understudy's number thirty seven thirty. So if you had

313
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: to learn all the dances and you're there in uniform anyway,

314
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: and you did it, why didn't you just try out again, Janelle?

315
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, all right, that's that's that's that's bonus.

316
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: But it's it's kind of scary because you never know

317
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, and you might be all just

318
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, tucked in your little game day bed in

319
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: the locker room, just chilling, and then all of a sudden,

320
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: let's get on the field in two minutes in uniform

321
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: in somebody's place. So it's a lot to learn. You know,

322
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: there's thirty six positions, and I have to know everyone's

323
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: spot and everyone's ripple and everyone's yard line, and it's

324
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of fun thinking on your toes.

325
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: But Nell's had to enter group too, like several groups

326
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: being my home this year yea too, And I just

327
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you see her walking out, and

328
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm just like here she comes, saved the day once again.

329
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: It's it's been a huge honor because it's you know,

330
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: it's a little it's a little extra, but it's been

331
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: kind of fun to sort of play a new role

332
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: as well. That's cool. Well why are you here? I

333
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: don't even really know, Well, I am here special. I

Speaker 1: up now, Thanks Nellie, all right, thanks Janelle. All right.

387
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: So Madeline, yes, my, my, my, uh yeah, my sheet

388
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 1: tells me you got some craziness going on. You went

389
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: to Saint Mary's, but you cheered on Notre Dame's palm squads.

390
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: What I know. It doesn't really make a lot of sense.

391
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Explain this to me. Okay, So have you ever seen

392
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: the movie Rudy? Yeah? Who has Rudy? Yes? Okay, So

393
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: Holy Cross and Saint Mary's and Nord Dame. It's just

394
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: like a big family. And so Saint Mary's was the

395
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: all women's college to Nerd Dame, which was all men

396
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: um and then Nerd Dame opened it up to women,

397
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: but Saint Mary's stayed all women. So um. Saint Mary's

398
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: had a really great education program and when I was

399
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: going into school, I wanted to become a teacher. Um,

400
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: so I was like, I'm going to go to Saint Mary's.

401
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: And then I had the opportunity to cheer for Notre

402
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: Dame even though I went to Saint Mary's because they

403
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: had like twenty five percent could be Saint Mary's girls

404
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: on their team. So I was one of those lucky few.

405
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: So did you do both? Yeah? So well, no, I

406
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: didn't get to I didn't dance for Saint Mary's. I

407
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: danced for Notre Dame. So it like the festival. Oh yeah,

408
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: it was like I get to see and be a

409
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: part of the big school when I want to be.

410
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: And then I had like my little family and like

411
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: comfort at Saint Mary's. Were you there when Smith was there? Yes?

412
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: I actually had an appearance with him, really, yes, my

413
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: very first appearance. I got to stand right next to him,

414
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: and I just like looked up at him and I

415
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: was like, I went to Saint Mary's and he goes,

416
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: you're lying to me and I was like, no, yeah,

417
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: and we have like a mutual friend. So we got

418
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: to talk about her and it was cool. That is cool. Yeah,

419
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: very cool. You weren't probably pumped now too, Yeah, seasons

420
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: going off? Yeah, yeah, definitely go Irish. That's the Irish school.

421
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: I'll every cheer for him. My dad's a huge so well, yeah,

422
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: well you might as well cheer for him. Because Florida's

423
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: down the toilet. Now they're out, They're out, They're out,

424
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: they're out, they're out, they're done. Always the Florida Diggs. Yep. Always,

425
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: that's because she puts it in everybody's face. So I

426
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: was trying to be nice to another school, but still

427
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm still Yes. So Lexie, for those that have not

428
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: heard you on the show before, where did you grow

429
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: up and go to school? So? I grew up here

430
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: in Flower Mound, so about thirty minutes from Frisco. And

431
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: then I went to school at Oklahoma State and I

432
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: graduated in twenty fifteen. Didn't dance there, um, but then

433
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: I tried out and dance for the Dallas Mavericks for

434
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: two years and then made the jump over to the

435
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys and now this is my second season with the

436
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. And you grew up in Illinois, Yes, okay,

437
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: where'd you go to high school? I went to Saint

438
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: Charles East, so it's like forty five minutes to an

439
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: hour outside of Chicago. And Gabby, who's also another rookie,

440
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: she went to my rival high school, so she's you

441
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: know her? Yes, yes, we like both went to the

442
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: same dance studio, not necessarily at the same time. She

443
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: took it a little bit more seriously than I did

444
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: because I was doing the dance team at my high school,

445
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: but we definitely have had like the same dance passed.

446
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: And she went to my rival high school. So when

447
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: she was auditioning, we went and got breakfast before and

448
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: like chatted about auditions and I was like, okay, I've

449
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: been through the process. Here is wait to expect. And

450
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: then we both made it together. So it's been really cool. Well,

451
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: so Lexie, this is your two for you. Yes, what

452
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: is the biggest difference between being a rookie and being

453
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: a veteran. Feeling like you can let your hair down

454
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: a little bit more, I think is probably the best

455
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: part about it. Training camp. I don't think anyone would

456
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: ever say that training camp is a breeze, but I

457
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: definitely felt a lot more confident going through this year.

458
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I already knew some of the material,

459
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: of course, our signature dance and other quarter changers and

460
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: stuff like that, So just feeling like I actually kind

461
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: of knew what I was doing definitely was the best

462
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: part about being a veteran. I think, I bet just

463
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: of course, I've never been on the squad, but I

464
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: would think you haven't. No, No, I used to be.

465
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: I used to be around, and then I grew the

466
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: beard and they kicked me out of all the cool stuff.

467
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: But I would imagine being a veteran and not like

468
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: you said, I never thought of this before, but like

469
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: no one, the changes and knowing the dances and all

470
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: that stuff. You probably you can just dance and relax

471
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: and you don't. You're not thinking as much. I mess

472
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: up on what you've already learned. Right, You're definitely held

473
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: to a very high standard since you've been around, but

474
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: you're able to perform and have fun. Like I said,

475
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: I didn't have to think so hard about does this

476
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: come next? I was able, I actually able to get

477
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: into it and enjoy it. But you're right too, and

478
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 1: they hold us out of high standard as you've been here.

479
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: So it's probably the somewhat the equivalent of like being

480
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: on the football team. They always say, like you're two

481
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: and three, like the game slows down because you're not

482
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: thinking about everything. You're just able to go out there

483
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: for you perform dance. They're able to go out there

484
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 1: and just play and not because they know the plays

485
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So yeah, yeah, I never thought

486
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: of it like that, but even higher standard because she

487
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: made a show group what plus noise? But we I'm okay,

488
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: so tell us about that. Yeah, I it's definitely a

489
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: big honor. I was thrilled to make it. It was

490
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: a goal that I had set for myself. I think

491
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: that something that's so great about this team is that

492
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: there's always a next step that you can aim for,

493
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: and so that was my big thing this year. I

494
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: really wanted to make show groups. So being able to

495
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: make it has just been amazing. We've already done a

496
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: lot of really cool things you know so far? Formula

497
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: one Brittany All right, Formula one was just so fun

498
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: because of Berne and Brittany. Britney. Who was better, Bruno

499
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: or Brittany. I've always loved Brittany, but Bruno was amazing.

500
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: He they didn't even get He's so he's so talented.

501
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: I know, I've never seen him live, but like just

502
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: the stuff I've seen time seeing him, he's he's amazing.

503
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: Brittany I was like, oh no, I wanted to keep

504
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: what I had in my head for Oh yeah, yeah

505
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: stories from that. We're really I wanted to go see

506
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: her in her Vegas show, but I didn't go. Yeah,

507
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: but Aerosmith has a stint in Vegas, so that sounds

508
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: even better. I've seen them lave like three times. Though

509
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: they're they're still good. They still kick ass. But okay,

510
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: they're still one of the most legendary bands of all time. Yeah,

511
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: of course they are. They're awesome. And did you get

512
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: to dance with That was last year? So nope. So

513
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: we did a Gwen Stefani show, which was really cool,

514
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: and then I think that was the same event last year. Yeah,

515
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: did so? Yeah that they did this year. That's cool. So,

516
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: speaking of dancing. In performing, you guys get to perform halftime, right, yeah, oh,

517
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: they get to do so much in this upcoming well weeks.

518
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: I was in a staff meeting and I was like, so,

519
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: when do things start to really get insane that we

523
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: include Thanksgiving halftime in that. Okay, okay, well I'll start

524
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: with Thanksgiving. So we're performing with Megan Trainer, which we're

525
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: really really excited about. Her choreographer Charm came in and

526
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: taught us the full routine, which was really fun. This style,

527
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: I think we can both creates, super fun, poppy, girly sack.

528
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: I can't listen to Megan Trainer's music and not be

529
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: in a good mood because it's just like so upbeat

00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: and so fun and has such a good attitude with everything. Yeah,

531
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: so it'll it'll be a really really fun half time

532
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: for sure. And so um she's bringing in her own

533
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: backup dancers, and then we have four girls from our team,

534
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: four girls from DCR and B that are joining her

535
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: backup dancers and then the rest of us. Honest, I

536
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: have my act, like I know what is going on,

537
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: but I really we won't know until we see the

538
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: stage and we're able to see. Once everybody gets here

539
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: at the stadium and starting to set everything, it's going

540
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: to be craziness in a good way. When is your

541
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: first rehearsal with her? Either Sunday or Monday. I'm just

542
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: living day to day, but yeah, we know the dance.

543
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: It's just going to be piecing together everything. It's going

544
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: to be great. Yeah. And then right after that we

545
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: have the Christmas show. It's Christmas Spectacular at the Star

546
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: and literally, I'm sure you've already been able to see,

547
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: but for those who have not attended the Star anytime recently,

548
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: there's this huge Christmas tree out front and it's delivering

549
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: the presence today. That's so exciting. Um, and it's getting

550
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: all let up and it's even is it taller than

551
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: it was last year? It looks like it. It's shinormous. Yeah,

552
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: and there's like a dressing room underneath, taller for their

553
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: dressing room. Yeah, So it'll be it'll be really cool

554
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: too when all of those pieces start to get put together,

555
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: do a quick change underneath the Christmas tree and bust

556
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: out in news. Don't tell people that you have crazy

557
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: picked out there trying to get in the Christmas tree.

558
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: You don't get away all the secret. You see them

559
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: come out of the tree. Yeah, but they think they

560
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: came from them. Yeah. There's a tunnel that goes under

561
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: the plaza to the locker room and Courtney. I'm gonna

562
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: have to agree with Shannon when this one first, talking

563
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: about the tree. All right, secret Courtney goes underground back

564
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: to the sprint in three minutes upstairs down you laugh,

565
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: But they did that last year. No, but there are

566
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: there are are there, two chairs, a lot of changes,

567
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: two changes, three outfits total. It's crazy. I can't imagine

568
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: what the show would be like in five or ten years,

569
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: because it's already so much more over the top than

570
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 1: even last year. I went to the show last year

571
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 1: and I thought it was the coolest thing I had

572
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: ever seen, And then really, it's that cool, I thought,

573
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: I've never been I mean, I'm also watching I was

585
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: spirit yeah is it. I'm kind of a scrooge though.

586
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't ever put up a Christmas tree.

587
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Put up the tree? Oh, I live alone.

588
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: I put up a tree of alone. I put up

589
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: a tree. Mine goes up Friday, like the day after

590
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: the real tree or fake. I would never buy a

591
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: fake tree in my whole life ever. Like, wow, I've

592
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: never had a real tree. Really, I have Paul that

593
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: you never had a real tree, real or fake. Mine's fake. Oh,

594
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: it's only because I live alone and I want to

595
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend like all the money to

596
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: get it. No, you go to like depot when you

597
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: get a little four or five foot one childhood, I

598
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: had a real tree. It's just in my adult life

599
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: that I've had a fake. I cannot, I literally cannot.

600
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you personal stories. So my mom's dad is Jewish.

601
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: My mom's mom is Catholic. They raised her brother Jewish.

602
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: They raised her Catholic, but her Jewish father in Philadelphia

603
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: sold Christmas trees. He had a Christmas tree farm and

604
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: some Christmas trees. So growing up she got the pick

605
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: of the lot. And like in Philadelphia, their row home

606
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: so short roofs, but like really long, So they picked

607
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: out the fattest tree they could find and chop the

608
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: top off and they just had the grothy part of

609
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: the tree in their house. So we grew up spoiled

610
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: because we have my living room back home and Florida

611
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: has a really tall ceiling. So our trees are like

612
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: thirteen feet tall every year at my house and they're real.

613
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: We would never get a fake one over my dead body.

614
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: So they last to the whole season. Yeah, and then

615
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: you just toss them when you're done. Well, then we

616
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: have a Christmas tree burning in our could to sack.

617
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: All the neighbors bring out their trees, will take cars

618
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: and go pick up trees that are at the end

619
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: of driveways and light them and they're huge virus. It's insane.

620
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: Oh that's totally insane, but it's so fun. Wow. And

621
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: yeah there's nothing like a real tree. No, they do

622
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: just the maintenance of them, a little water and fun fact,

623
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: put an aspirin. Wow. Yeah, that was my job growing up.

624
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: I would have to crawl under the tree and put

625
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: the aspirin out. So you started practicing for the Christmas

626
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: Spectacular already, right, we did. When did you start practicing? Um?

627
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: We learned the first part of the dances a couple

628
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: of months ago. Um. But it's really starting to come together. Yeah,

629
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: kind of like anything, like I was saying with Thanksgiving,

630
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: we really aren't one hundred percent on what it'll be. Um.

631
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: Last night was the first night that we went out

632
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: and kind of in the wait a minute, went out.

633
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: You were outside and that last night it was like

634
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: thirty degrees out. Yeah, we had beanies on and jack.

635
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: We came prepared though, we did, we did, but we

636
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 1: started working on the transitions of where this costume would go.

637
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: And you know, it's not even like all of us

638
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: are in the same place at the same time, we're

639
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: all split in different groups, so it's started to come

640
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: together last night. Yeah, it's really cool to see it

641
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: come together. You see, like a big problem. I just

642
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: really like the dance project of it. It's like, Okay,

643
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: this piece and this piece, and now there's more outfits

644
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: and there's more people right this music, and we're going

645
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: to redo this, and it's just like this really cool

646
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: little yeah. They're getting they're getting. If you went last year,

647
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: you have to come back this year because they're really different,

648
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: actually getting music aid by a composer yep, for this show.

649
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: It's not like they went and just listened to a

650
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: bunch of tracks. They're actually the music is being made

651

00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: of Yeah. It's been pretty funny just to hear. They're

653
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,000

00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,240

741
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,120

Speaker 1: players to Fort Worth. So Madeline went this year, Lexei

744
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: went last year. How was it? It was such a

745
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: heartwarming experience. Um, you get to really interact with a

746
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: lot of the families and the people there, and you

747
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: also get to be there with the Cowboys players, which

748
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like unless you're put on

749
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: an appearance with them, you don't really get, you know,

750
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: that sense of like interacting. And so it was really

751
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: cool to be like be with and helping people with

752
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: the players, as it makes you feel like you're all

753
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, you're part are all a part of the

754
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: same organization. But it felt nice to all be doing something.

755
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: And it's just like cool to see people's smile at

756
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: you and realize that you're making their day and they're

757
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: making yours. And it's just it's hard to walk away

758
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: from that experience without feeling like yeah about and in this,

759
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: in this, I'll keep going back to this crappy world

760
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: we live in. And I don't mean it like that,

761
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: but like you get so caught up in your day

762
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: to day and like making the team and the players

763
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: get caught up and making the football team and winning

764
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: games and you know all these other things, and then

765
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: you go do something like that and you realize, Okay,

766
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: how fortunate you are, and like there are people out

767
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: there is a lot more to life. Yeah, and just

768
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: by you guys being there for thirty minutes or an

769
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: hour and being there and brightening someone's day, that might

770
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: be the only time they smile for years, you know,

771
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: but you see them light up, and you know they

772
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: interact with the players and they interact with you guys,

773
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: and it makes you really feel like you did something

774
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: good that day, because you know, hospital visits are the

775
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: same way you went on hospital business last year. I'm sure,

776
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: and we're we've already got the dates for that. And

777
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: when is that? I haven't even heard day to day COURTNEYA.

778
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a Monday. It's a Monday, maybe the

779
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: first week of December. But I was just with an

780
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: amazing group last year, so of course that was an

781
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: even cooler experience as Yeah, Charlotte and Jason Witton and

782
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, Yeah, and so in tyroom Crawford. So it

783
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: was it was really really amazing just because you know,

784
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: the kids were just ecstatic to meet all of them

785
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: and they were excited to see us. But it was

786
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: really cool to see just how much those players being

787
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: there made their day. And like she said, it was

788
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: just a really rewarding experience. I'm already looking forward to. Yeah,

789
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: and they forget about all their problems, just even if

790
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: it's just for a few minutes. It's like, you know,

791
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: you can forget about reality and kind of escape. So

792
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: that's that's a great thing that you guys do when

793
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: the players do it Thanksgiving in Christmas. So yeah, I

794
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: wish we could do stuff like that every day. Yeah. Yeah,

795
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: it's so rewarding and it's such a cool part of

796
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: the job. Like you you think that you know, when

797
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: you hear a cheerleader, you think you think like the dancing,

798
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: you think the iconic uniform the game games. But you

799
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: you have to remember too that it's about giving forth

800
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: to the community and making people feel good and being

801
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: like a life cheerleader as well as one of the

802
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: players cheer life cheerleader. Yeah, questions, Court, may I do,

803
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: but before we do that, Gina said, Hi, friends, love

804
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: y'all both so much. Quite a minute, Gina, you don't

805
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: love all four of us? That's some garbage. No, genas

806
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: literally too. Gina has been another vet too. Where me

807
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: this past year? Who I got to look up to?

808
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: So shout out to Gina. You kind of look like

809
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: a darkheaded Gina do I? Yeah? I have some very

810
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: big compliment. You have some of the same features, do I?

811
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: I think so. I'd have to see blue eyes, I know.

812
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: I want to say I see eyes the best ice. Okay, okay,

813
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: stand by, stand by. Grant didn't leave any questions? What's

814
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: his handle? I don't think I saw them? Why didn't he?

815
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: He probably did it? Wait a minute, someone is someone

816
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: in this you're getting married? Is someone in this room

817
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: in your wedding? She is? Yes, Courtney, isn't you who's

818
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: getting married? Just kidding? Yes, Madeline is one of my bridesmaids.

819
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Congratulation. She's my very first wedding too.

820
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's really cool. I haven't been a bridesmaid yet,

821
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: so well this will be the first time. So excited.

822
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't affect a better girl to be a bridesmaid

823
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: for so ten, and out of those ten, Madeline and

824
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: then Savannah and then Alexis, which we met on maps

825
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: but made to jump over together to Cowboys. So those

826
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: are the three from DCC that are in my way.

827
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: Did y'all come over the same year we did? Did?

828
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: Did y'all say we're going to do this together? It

829
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: just kind of happened. It just well, it's actually funny. Yeah,

830
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: we decided together. But yeah, I'll leave it at that.

831
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: We decided together. We just waited a little bit before we,

832
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, publicly announced that we're making the switch because

833
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: we had to complete our season with the Mavericks, and

834
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: then decided and jumped on board and went all in

835
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: and made it together. Yeah that's cool, Grant said, Hi,

836
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: but I'm yelling at you, Grant for not leaving any

837
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: questions your chance to ask whatever you want. Let's not

838
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: be very many good questions because you're scrolling awful. Now

839
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: there is. I'm just trying to figure out which one

840
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: I want to ask all of them. Okay, here we go,

841
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: so delightfully provincial asks. Is it difficult to have a

842
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: life outside of DCC during the season or is there

843
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: enough time off allowed for that day? To day, day

844
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: to day today. That's a good question. I think it's

845
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 1: obviously doable. I think the most important thing to have

846
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: is a support system that understands, because that's the only

847
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: way that we would be able to do this. Luckily, Grant.

848
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: You know, my family, my friends, they're very understanding my job,

849
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: very understanding of what all goes into this. And so

850
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: it is possible to have a life. You just have

851
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: to be really good at organizing and time management and

852
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: it's doable well. And then all your teammates become your

853
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: friends obviously, so it just kind of helps because then

854
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: you're all kind of operating on the same schedule, so

855
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, let's go grab dinner after this, and then

856
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: you do have that work life balance because you're friends

857
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: with your teammates, but it's all your coworkers, right, Yeah,

858
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: this one is cute. You both can answer, you can

859
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: pretend it to you. But Deborah Duffy says Lexi, I

860
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: I know your mom from high school. You take after

861
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: your mom, who's as sweet as and beautiful as you are.

862
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: Can you name three things you learn from your mom?

863
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: Oh cheers from an alumni DCC, do you know who

864
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: that is? Deborah duffy. Oh yeah, no, I do, okay, yeah,

865
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: yes I do. Um And I saw her at the

866
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: alumni game actually too last year. But yeah, that's so

867
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: sweet of her to leave that comment. Um. So three

868
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: things that I learned from my mom, Oh my gosh,

869
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: I could name six thousand million viajillion things. Um. I love,

870
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: I love Tina. I'm Tina is definitely watching right now,

871
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: but shout out Tina. I can't, I can't even begin.

872
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm just so thankful for her. She's been cheering me

873
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: on in dance, in life from the beginning dance since

874
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: age three. She's she went to all forty of my

875
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: MAV's games two years in a row. She's been in

876
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: all the Cowboys games. She's just she's I'm so thankful

877
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: for her, and so going after my dreams is probably

878
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that I would say. She's always encouraged me,

879
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: not just with dance, but in school, and she's just

880
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: there for me whenever I need her, and I call

881
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: her all the we talk every single day. I call

882
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 1: her all the multiple times a day, and so she's

883
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: just there for me, sounding board in every way, and

884
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: so everything. Really, I don't know that I could just

885
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: pick three. I got a question you mentioned go on

886
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: to games. Did you go to any games last year

887
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: whenever you were Yes, I went to I think it

888
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 1: was your first preseason games, So first time she stepped

889
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: on the turf, I was there and I hung out

890
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: with Grant and Tina made sure I got my ticket

891
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: and everything. So Alexi has just been there for me

892
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: every sub of the way. But yeah, I got to

893
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: bond with Grant at my very first Cowboys game. Was

894
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: that hard because that was probably not too long after

895
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: you got cut? Right? Was that hard to like go

896
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: and be like, god, I was that close to being there? Um,

897
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: it was? It was harder. I mean I got cut

898
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 1: fairly early on. I got cut, you know, beginning of July,

899
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: so I had time to process every thing. And I

900
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: had gone to meet the team to support them, of course,

901
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: and so I had already been back in that arena

902
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, yeah they made it and I didn't.

903
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: And like, I think I was already on that mindset

904
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: of you know, what can I do for next year

905
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: or so? And at that point too, it's like I'm

906
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: just so excited for my friends, Like LEXI made the team.

907
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: That's so great. She's a great dancer. All. A lot

908
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: of my other friends made it, and they were so

909
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: supportive of me, you know, getting cut, and so I

910
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: wanted to be supportive of them as they succeeded. So cool. Okay, wait,

911
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: Grant left a question. Here we go. That's sure or false?

912
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: You can eat your weight and peanut butter pretzels. She's

913
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: calling me out. Peanut butter petzels are definitely my favorite

914
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: go to snack. That's your snack, that's my that's my snack. Yeah,

915
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: the little like nugget one stuff. Yes, what's your snack? Courtney? Okay,

916
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: what's your snack? Madeline? Oh my gosh, maybe just like cheese.

917
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: I love a good peanut butter petzel too. That's probably

918
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: why my best friends we like the same snacks. Popcorn

919
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: is a good one. It's lightweight, locale. Yeah. I'm not

920
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: a snacker. I was just talking about this with some recently.

921
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm a very big meal eater, so huge lunch, huge dinner.

922
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm a snacker. I'm the complete office. I could never

923
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: eat another just like full meal as long as I

924
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: could just have snacks all daylight. No like my meals. Yeah,

925
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: what's your favorite I'm not a big snacker either, but

926
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: I have my taste buzz of change because I used

927
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: to hate almonds. I used to like peanuts, and like,

928
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: over the last probably two years, I really like almonds.

929
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm sitting just plain almonds. I

930
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: prefer them with salt. But then I found the ones

931
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: that have like the chocolate dust on them, that have

932
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 1: like no sugar still and game changer. Yes, I discovered

933
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: those about three months ago, and I was like, oh

934
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: that and honey roasted. You don't know those little Sargento

935
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: snack packs that have like the little cheese dried fruit. Yeah, yeah, no,

936
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: I could just go home, open the bat or open

937
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: the cheese rou and just like take a handful of

938
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: shreaded cheese, really cheese raw. I don't eat cheese. I

939
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: eat all cheese except blue because blue is literally disgusted. Yeah, cheese.

940
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: I don't eat cheese except on pizza. Really not a cheeseburgers. Well,

941
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: it's annoying, my mom said. I used to eat. I

942
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: used to eat like Kraft singles, like right out of

943
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: the fridge. I would just call it. I called it, yeah,

944
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: I called it wrap up cheese. And I would just

945
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: eat it and eat it. And she said, I went

946
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: to daycare one day and they made me eat mac

947
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: and cheese and I was hot and I didn't want

948
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: to eat it, and I got sick and threw up,

949
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: and she was like, you didn't eat cheese after that

950
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: ever since, ever since. So I got time for one

951
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: more question. Then we gotta go. Oh god, you have
