25
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: some cheerleading stuff first. So why don't I know, so

26
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720

27
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Whoever wants to start, why don't you just talk a

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: little bit about your journey that brought you to the

29
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: DCC and a little bit of the journey thus far.

30
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: All right, well, Mike Share, thanks. My journey that you

31
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: all know started five years ago in Melbourne, Australia. I

32
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: was a cheerleader from Melbourne Storm, so I was cheering

33
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: for the rugby which is very very different to NFL football.

34
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: Learnt a lot over my adventure here and I have

35
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: just finished my fifth year. I have left every second

36
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: being with my fellow lady's USO tours have been a

37
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: highlight at camp. DCCs have been a highlight. It's every

38
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: single moment is special and I'm very grateful Fertile who

39
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: my journey started six years ago so I'm just one

40
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: year above Janelle. So we've been together. No, we've been

41
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: together for a very long time. Like she's the only

42
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: one who stands a lot we do. Oh but I

43
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: did do the math yesterday. Now I'm gonna forget eighteen

44
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: eighteen years of experience sitting right here right. Didn't think

45
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: about it that way. He is eighteen or fifteen. I

46
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: don't really know what gets five four three? Oh yeah, okay,

47
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: six plus five is eleven plus four is fifteen yees,

48
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: eighteen ten. I was right, eighteen, A lot of experience

49
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: in this room. My journey started so well, my journey

50
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: started um in Korea. So my family was stationed over

51
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: there my last two years of high school. And I'm

52
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: at the DCC on USO tour and they recruited me,

53
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: told me to come out to audition, and I've been

54
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: stuck in Dallas then. So it's been a wonderful journey

55
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: and I've enjoyed every second. Yeah, whale. Journey started in

56
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: eastern Kentucky, and um, we don't have professional teams in Kentucky,

57
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: so I wasn't necessarily like Gung House set on audition

58
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: for DCC. It had always been something that I thought about,

59
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: but never really imagine myself leaving my hometown or anything.

60
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: And um, I was just at a my life. I

61
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: had graduated from Eastern Tech University and I had been

62
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: an internship in Louisville and was kind of back home

63
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: waiting for the next step. And my mom had mentioned it,

64
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, we're in Texas and it's

65
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. I had auditioned. I just wanted to make

66
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: it out of prelimbs. I was like my main goal,

67
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: and made it into seems I was like, oh god,

68
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: what nawl. And then you make it into training camp

69
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: and then that's a whole new ballgame. So even then

70
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: you're not for sure. So three years later, I'm sitting

71
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: here with these girls that I've watched, you know, on

72
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: the show, and then I got to watch in the

73
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: room in front of me, and it's it's something that

74
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: I sit here and say, isn't it like, you know,

75
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: I can't explain the feeling, but I could. I just yeah,

76
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: this is only an hour long podcast, so I don't

77
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: have enough time. Um So yeah, I four years ago

78
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: auditioned and I came from drill team background, so never

79
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: was in like the cheer world necessarily, and um was

80
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: team all four years of high school captain two years,

81
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: and I was coming up on graduation. I was like, also,

82
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: excuse my nasally noise voices. Yeah, it's it's not cute,

83
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: but anyways, So I was like, Okay, I want to

84
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: do performing still, I want to dance afterwards. But I

85
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do. And I

86
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: was actually at a friend's house and we were watching

87
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: CMT like DIC making a team, and I was like

88
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: watching it, I was like, Okay, I mean this seems

89
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: very intense, but I think I could do it. So

90
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: I knew I wanted to be a part of a

91
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: team that had a big impact in a big crowd,

92
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: and that is the Dasakaways cheerleaders. So I went for

93
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: it as an eighteen year old hadn't even graduated high

94
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: school yet, and yeah, here I am about to go

95
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: into my fifth audition process and yeah, it's been it's

96
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: so fun. It really it flashes by, but there's so

97
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: many you think back to all the times when you're like, wow,

98
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: I've done some cool stuff and really just trying to

99
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: soak up every moment. And I have none of the experience,

100
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: so listed above. Share share. Okay, so obviously we have

101
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: all four of you here, and you all share one

102
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: thing in common, among a lot of things, but one

103
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: of the biggest one being that you guys are group

104
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: leaders for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. So tell everybody a

105
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: little bit more about what a group leader is, what

106
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: it means to the team, and then what it means

107
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: to you guys, Like what's this year been, Like, what's

108
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: the experience. I know, it's probably a lot to take

109
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: on and carry on your shoulders, but also very rewarding too,

110
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: I'm assuming. So I'm sure everybody wants to know group

111
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: leader stories, So hit us with that. Yeah, yeah, So

112
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: being a group leader is a very heavy role. This

113
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: was my second year being a group leader, and basically

114
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: they split our entire team up into four groups, and

115
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: so you're kind of in charge of your girls in

116
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: your group. I mean, we're an example for the entire team,

117
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: but your girls in your group are your babies. And

118
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, we lead the team. We make up the dances,

119
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: we run practices, we do everything. We have to stay late,

120
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: come early, So it is a huge, um, I guess

121
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: responsibility yeah, I think a lot of it is too real,

122
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the liaisons between our directors and the team, so a

123
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that killing Judy necessarily have on

124
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: their minds. It's kind of up to us to sort

125
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: of pick their brains, figure out what they want from us,

126
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: and then deliver that information back to the team and

127
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: just really act as the mediators between the two telephone

128
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: a lot of telephone. Does that ever get like scary

129
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: or nerve racking? Having to deal with both Kelly and

130
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: Judy and be the happy peacemakers between them too and

131
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: the girls on the team. How do you deal with that?

132
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: Because I'm straculatary. Yes, it's scary. I don't know, I

133
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's necessarily scary as it is. It's an honor,

134
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: but it's a huge responsibility, as Jenna was saying, and

135
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: I know we have our second group, our second group

136
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: later who you know, has our back and everything and

137
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: has that back on the field on and off. So

138
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, anytime we sort of get that piece of

139
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: information from you know, director, choreographer, anyone from above, it's

140
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: it's a duty of care that we promise to the team,

141
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, to set good examples and to carry that

142
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: through for everybody else as well. I mean, like throughout

143
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: the years, we kind of like as a rookie, you

144
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: really watch a group leader and you kind of pick

145
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: up on different traditions that you know, Kelly Judy liked

146
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: to keep each year, and so I mean you definitely

147
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: learn as years go on. So by the time you

148
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: get to group leader, by then you kind of think

149
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: similarly to Kelly Judy or at least know what they

150
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: would expect. So I mean it's definitely more on your plate,

151
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: but it's yeah, it's like that's scary, but like rewarding

152
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: and like you want to do a good job. So

153
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: especially in training camp too, when you have you have

154
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: new girls in the studio for the first time and

155
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: you know you have to you want to sort of

156
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: hold their hand, but not too much during the whole process,

157
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: so you kind of want to be that figure for

158
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: them as well. A lot of if something does, like

159
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: say a mistake happens or something, it's a lot of

160
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: our fault. So we're kind of the ones that take

161
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: a lot of the sure, yeah, like the blame on things,

162
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: which that's part of it. That's one of the roles

163
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: that we step into and we take this position is

164
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: just knowing that you know, a lot of anything that

165
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: happens on the team, it kind of goes through us,

166
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: Like we're the ones that catch a lot of the

167
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: flag from anything that's sort of happening between And it's

168
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: not so scary being a leader because I mean as

169
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: a leader, like your teammates they help vote for that,

170
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: so they know that, like you're one of the girls

171
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: in the room that stands out or you know, just

172
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: goes above and beyond. I would say the hardest or

173
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: like the weirdest transition is going from just being a

174
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: normal person on the team to having to like have

175
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: one on one conversations with Kelly and Judy because you know,

176
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: you're just trying to blend through the process. You're just

177
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: trying to get through. So like when you finally get

178
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: that leadership position, it's a huge army. Yeah. You go

179
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: from like having the conversation killing Judy usually in training

180
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: camp is like kind of a bad thing if you're

181
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: getting called into the office, and then when you get

182
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: in that leadership role, you're like, oh, now it's a

183
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. Okay, Now let's be a little

184
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: bit more personable. So yeah, it's fun though, and for

185
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: for anyone listening to this who's trying out and is

186
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: scared about the whole training camp process, when you get

187
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: called into the office, it's not always necessarily a bad thing,

188
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: you know, it can be. For me, it's always just like, hey,

189
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: that's cool they noticed me, you know, so I think

190
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: that it can be benevaluable too, for sure. Any critique

191
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: they gave you is going to ye. So did you

192
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: guys ever get called in for anything good? I got

193
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: called in for being UCOS friend. Yeah, that was just

194
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: like talked about our like our calendar experience, and I

195
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is great. Yeah, just to have

196
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: chats and you know, catch out, make sure you're on

197
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: the same page. I think that's always really valuable. And

198
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: kind of back on that leader role, like sometimes they'll

199
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: call you in to talk about girls in your group

200
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: and just like inside on how they're doing. And so

201
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 1: there's that part of it too, And a lot of

202
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: what you don't see on the show is like you're

203
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: seeing girls get called in for issues or different things

204
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: on the show, but for leaders, like they'll call all

205
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: four of us in and be like just trying to

206
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: touch base with us and be like, you know, this

207
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: is the plan for this week. You guys have to

208
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: do this. So, I mean, we get called in for

209
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: just normal strategy things for the week all the time.

210
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: Stanley Mass quick question. You had mentioned something about your

211
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: learning from your rookie leaders. So do you guys remember

212
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: who your rookie leaders were and what's the biggest thing

213
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: you took away from your rookie leaders. I had a great,

214
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: great group of leadership my rookie year, and something I'll

215
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: never forget is, you know, they set us down the

216
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: first day of training camp and then again the first

217
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: game and said, this experience is going to go so fast.

218
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's good or bout it what happens.

219
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: Absorb every second, love every second, take every opportunity, and

220
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: be grateful. And I'll never forget that. My very first

221
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: leader was Whitney islaib So she was I mean, she

222
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: was the eight girl of that year. It was in

223
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. She was our Pro Bowl cheerleader appointed the triangle,

224
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: and I really think that coming in as an eighteen

225
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: year old and coming from a cheer background, she had

226
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: a full dance background, so I learned a lot dance

227
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: wise and style wise from her, and I took a

228
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: lot of her style into my next year's. My rookie

229
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: group leader was jac and her second was Kinsey, And

230
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: just the combination of Jac's power and then Kinsey's softness

231
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: and watching them to work together, and watching Jac be

232
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: able to come in from a hard day of work

233
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: and completely leave that at the door, or leave that

234
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: off the field where we were pressing that day, and

235
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: be able to just gather our group and have us

236
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: all in the same wavelength and just be so selfless

237
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: was something that I really liked about her leadership style.

238
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: My rookie leader was Emma, and she's one of those

239
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: girls that has so many different little sides to her,

240
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: and I just remember her really taking me under her

241
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: wing my rookie year, and she came from a Rangerettes background,

242
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: and so she kind of she understood the drill team

243
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: aspect of my dancing and was able to help me

244
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: take that style but also find more of my flow

245
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: and my role in my movement and get that DCC

246
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: style that I have now. And her second leader it

247
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: was Jennifer, who was my first leader of my next

248
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: year and so I feel like I've just been raised

249
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: by Jennifer and a lot of the ways that I

250
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: go about things this year as a leader, I feel

251
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: like I took from her and I have a lot

252
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: of respect for both of them. They helped me get

253
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: into this world with more of a smooth ride for sure.

254
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 1: Now I've ever in a millionaires. Did you think that

255
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: when you made this team years would be group leaders?

256
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Was that a dream, not a dream goal anything like that.

257
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: I never thought that I would be here. I was

258
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: very shy before I auditioned. I've always just been a

259
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: very shy person girl up and so I feel like

260
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: DCC brought me out of my shell. And so to

261
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: be a leader was like crazy for me. And it's

262
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: just something I've always looked forward to doing and hoped

263
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: that I would be able to become, but just never

264
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: imagined it. I mean, I was a captain in high

265
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: school and things like that, but I never imagined being

266
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: a leader for the best two team in the NFL.

267
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: I never imagined to either. It's so crazy thinking about

268
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: your rookie experience, and you know how long ago that was.

269
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: And I remember my roommate at the time, we were

270
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: talking about it at all, like how many years do

271
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: you want to do? What are your goals or whatever?

272
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: And for me, it was just, you know, like I'm

273
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: away from my family. I'm going to enjoy every experience.

274
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what tomorrow is going to be like.

275
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: But I didn't. I didn't have that, you know, mindset

276
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: of like five years down the track or however long

277
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm here for I want to be. But now that

278
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: it's happened, I can honestly say that just the amount

279
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: that I've learned from this experience is I mean, it

280
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: just it's life changing for me. I was surprised I

281
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: even made the team. I was like, WHOA. I had

282
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: to really I had to really record my rookie year

283
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: training camp. I had to really make sure that I

284
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: was I mean, I had a rough go not one.

285
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: So after that, I was like, man, I gotta I

286
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: can only go appeal from there. So, um, I never

287
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: imagine myself in this position. Just because of the quality

288
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: of girls and women that they put into this organization,

289
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they really do an outstanding job at auditions

290
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: with who they take into training camp, and it's selective

291
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: and that alone is a huge pat on the back

292
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: for every girl that's made it into training camp or

293
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: even two auditions, just because the process is so difficult

294
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: and intimidating. But sitting here today and just you know,

295
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: reflecting back on this last year has been something that

296
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: I am I just can't even begin to process in

297
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: my head because I'm like a blink, didn't it happened?

298
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: You know, So that's kind of where I'm at. I'm

299
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: still I'm still in that is this real kind of

300
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: phase still about on stage that we should I'm still in.

301
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: Honeymade face. We'll hear from Lacy and then we're going

302
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: to rewind back. Yeah notice, um yeah, I mean I

303
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: feel like you never can come into this big of

304
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: an organization and go through the you know, audition process

305
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: that we go through, where we're just hoping to make

306
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: the team, and you know, think this far down the road. Um.

307
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, coming into it, I'd come from

308
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: a leadership role, so that was still a big part

309
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: of me. So I hoped one day I'd get to

310
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: do that again. But like they said, I really didn't

311
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: think this far down and be like, you know, I'm

312
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna be there because you just want to be on

313
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: the team and you're so happy to be here with

314
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: all the rest of the girls and um yeah, but

315
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: it's it's far exceeded any of my expectations and it's

316
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: been great. Absolutely. So now back to Aerosmith. So we

317
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: actually all four of us were there. Show group got

318
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: to perform with Aerosmith on stage. And when I say

319
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: that's a legendary moment, like, oh yeah, most incredible moment

320
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: of my life. So Caushero was at the front of

321
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: the the runway the ramp. I was right behind her.

322
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: So she's literally with Steven Tyler like singing. He's going yeah, yeah,

323
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: and her hands are up like she's doing this clap

324
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: move that we had to do, and she's screaming in

325
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: the microphone. He was like, don't ignore him, Like if

326
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: he does that play back, I'm singing with him. Like

327
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: his face was right here, which he's actually not a

328
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: very like big person. He's tied sattle thing and I

329
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: was like his his his little face rapped there. I

330
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: was like yeah yeah, And then after that, I was

331
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: like I got this. If Steven Tyler wants to jam,

332
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna and plus like his drummer, their their drum

333
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: set was like solid ron stones. I was like we

334
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: were made this handler guitars, like everything was Ryanstone, so

335
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: like will you fit in perfectly? It was, and it

336
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: was a surprise. So when we came out, it was

337
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: just it was at the stadium, so it I mean

338
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: it was Janelle and I got kissed on the cheek

339
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: by him, didn't wash my face fair awake. It was

340
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: dressing room we talked. I think she just talked about this. Yeah,

341
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: we went to the dressing room highlights. It's something that

342
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: again like you grew up listening to the music and

343
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: we got to kind of like here and said, but

344
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: he's one of those performers that it doesn't matter what

345
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: era he was, you know, popular in whether it was

346
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: now or then. And he brought it to the stage.

347
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean that man was killing it running around all

348
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: of them and the drummers going to town and all

349
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: of the musicians and said it was quality music. How

350
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: do you think he performed those songs and still was

351
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: just like he sounded exactly the same. Yeah, it was

352
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: crazing quality for sure. I was like, wow, things, this

353
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: is nice. It was very cool. Okay, so that sounds

354
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: like one of the top memories. But I'm sure you

355
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: guys get asked us all the time eighteen years combined,

356
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: So we gotta have a lot of memories. But do

357
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: you have a favorite one or one that stands out

358
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: for one particular reason or another. That's a really loaded question.

359
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: Whatever one good or band, because I mean I could

360
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: go both ways. Can we say a few? Well, like,

361
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, I give you permission, all right, Well,

362
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: I always have to say one of one of my

363
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: top moments was getting to perform with people. I know,

364
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: he's my favorite and we got to do the halftime

365
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: with him, and I still have fun. Fact, I still

366
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: have the palm strings that I used that day on

367
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: my palms now, so because you know, they were the

368
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: ones I used in that performance and I refused to

369
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: change them. Well on the ground, no, like you know

370
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: the yeah so Mina from pit Bull. That's why I

371
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: always get so weird if you know, we gotta keep

372
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: we gotta keep our own palms there, Yes, exactly, and

373
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: then the definite definitely to her. I mean that just

374
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: going overseason, spending that quality time, it's so special and

375
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: I never thought, I really never thought that I would

376
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: be in this position to be able to go over

377
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: and you know, being the most unique places, meeting the

378
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: most unique people and get to thank them. But it

379
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: was really cool not only for America but also for

380
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: Australia and getting to combine both of my loves and

381
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, both countries that are home to me and

382
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: be able to thank both of the servicemen and women

383
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: that were over there from America around Australia, and it

384
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: was just like, I mean, I get tingles, I tear up.

385
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: It's just that was honestly one of the most moving things.

386
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: You can't script that. Money can't buy those sorts of experiences. Yeah,

387
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: anyone wanted to. Um. I mean, I think I talked

388
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: about this last time I was on the podcast, but

389
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: going to London for the London game, for the International

390
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: Series game was so amazing. Um, I mean, we just

391
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: it was more like a vacation because we didn't get

392
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: a cheer on game day so we got to sit

393
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: in the stands. And that's the only game I got

394
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: to sit in the stands for. Is my mic keep

395
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: going up here. Um. And then I agree with Janelle

396
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: with the USO Tours because that's just very close to

397
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: my heart. And um, I just hope I inspired some

398
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: little girl one day he's going to audition. So that's

399
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: just something that was full circle for me and my

400
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: career is when I went on my first USO tour.

401
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: I think my favorite memories are the ones where we've

402
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: traveled as a team. So anytime we're on plane rides

403
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: together or we're on like long bus rides, we find

404
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: ways to entertain ourselves. We were talking about this this

405
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: morning on this show we were we did a filming

406
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: for Good Day Fox this morning, and what we were

407
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: talking about like, you know, if people could hear us

408
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: like without which you know, like us before we started

409
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: the Yeah no, And so we find ways entertain ourselves.

410
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: So one thing we like to do is we like

411
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: to do these like raps, oh no, share and I

412
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: rap general YouTube beats and stuff of a plane and

413
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: then we'll like kind of like go off of each other,

414
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: man do right right, you know that kind of thing,

415
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: and like those kinds of stuff, and like, man, you

416
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: just can't beat this, Like a who who actually likes

417
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: everybody that they work with that much that they enjoy

418
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff that it's like, I mean, yeah,

419
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: we love performing, we love the game days and everything,

420
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: but I remember those moments we were sitting in a

421
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: circle like um, like in the middle game to eating,

422
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, in between the games, and and then you

423
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: find out stuff about people that you would never ever

424
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: know about. So games, card games, a planet on the

425
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: way home. Yeah, a plane ride and when people fall

426
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: asleep on the plane. And then he's like, it's like

427
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: in our delirium that we bond the most. Yeah, when

428
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: we're add an appearance and like there's a five hour

429
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: break before we actually perform, it's like we turn into

430
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: we like to call ourselves ourselves minis. Those are our

431
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: little campers that we teach. That's just like four to

432
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: right eight and we literally turned to minis and we

433
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: turned crazy. But it's just it's very special. I agree

434
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, I really can't put my finger

435
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: on one like appearance that trumps them all. But I

436
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: think my favorite part about being a DCC is like

437
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: just it's incredible that no matter what we're doing, whether

438
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: it's an appearance in the US or going overseas for

439
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: our USO tours, you always find people that you can

440
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: make those connections with, and it just shows you that

441
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: we're not only ambassadors for the Dallas Cowboys, but we're

442
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: America's sweethearts. And I feel like so many people can

443
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: really kind of appreciate that, and they acknowledge it, and

444
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: they know how great of an organization we are. And

445
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: I think that's so cool that no matter where we are,

446
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: people acknowledge that, and it's it's really cool and it's heartwarming. Yeah,

447
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 1: given an incredible platform, and I think we're definitely all

448
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: very grateful. It's universal now that we're getting the warm

449
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: and fuzzies going. I was going to send one of

450
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: I was, well, not one of us into break. I

451
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: was going to send us into break. But since I

452
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: decided we're all co hosts today, all the interviewers to

453
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: want if you guys want to send us into break,

454
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't care what do you normally say? Just anyway

455
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: to take us out, all right, I mean I don't

456
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: know what to say. You have a tease as to

457
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: something we'll be doing next and makes you tune back in,

458
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: So stay tuned and you might get to learn a

459
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,280

Speaker 1: are never the wanted ones. But I feel like your

00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: snacks are also like expensive, so it's like you can't

641
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't want to share my expensive share if

642

Speaker 1: I had any left. You just get hungry. Don't share

643

Speaker 1: to get stuck in a bathroom? Staller on an elevator

650
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: like my worst fear three two one unanimous Janelle or happened,

651
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: and it happened, happened, and it was where were terrifying

652
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: at like we were getting ready. It was like right

653
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: before training camp started and the leaders we were here

654
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: like practicing a dance and we no one was at

655
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: the Star and the elevators just like shut down. It

656
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: was really light at night, and there was like not

657
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, it was obviously kind of deserted around them

658
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: because it was just built. And we just would get

659
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: a few extra hours in of practice and then we

660
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: got stuff and I made Lacey sing piple songs to me.

661
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: So what happens when you just try to practice too hard?

662
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: I know, when you're doing like small spackfires. But also

663
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: she's most likely to get stuck in the bathroom because

664
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: she's always right in the bathroom. Yeah, okay, we'll do

665
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: you one last one and then we'll move on to

666
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: who's most likely to wear they're clothes backward. M Thirty

667
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: two one. I actually had my shirt on inside out

668
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: listen morning and I didn't know it, but it was

669
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: one of those like it's the same color on both sides,

670
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: and it's just that awkward mind when you say someone

671
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: walked past with the tag on the outside and you

672
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: don't know they're well enough to tell them, you feel

673
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: really bad. I'm the person that pulls hair off if

674
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: someone has a hair like straggling for them. Chase Judy

675
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: down the stairs before she has like one hair and

676
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's because her hair lit perfected, long and thick.

677
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: It really is, it really is, really Janelle, if her out,

678
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: she'll stick it in your rehearsal tired during practice and

679
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: you find it later when you're changing. We used to

680
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 1: just have a really fun moment at the stadium. We're

681
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: really late night practices, and you know, I'd get really

682
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: like spacey sometimes, so Minnie is exactly and we would

683
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: all just there was one night where j was like,

684
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: you all need to, you know, stop pulling out your

685
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: hair extensions, and yeah, it was we couldn't stay focused

686
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: and so I thought it'd be funny to put one

687
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: of them in the back of Jenna's top when she

688
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: wasn't looking, and she didn't notice till she got home.

689
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: I literally got home and like it was like a

690
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: rat tail hanging out of your back, you know, getting

691
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: my pajamas, and it was like this hair ball came

692
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: out of a lot of great memories. Oh the hair

693
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: situations about I don't even well, I'm sure I do,

694
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: and everybody else listening wants to know what. I can

695
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: only imagine. It's like that. Yeah, any other fun, random

696
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: silly stories that stick out to you that like when

697
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: you think about them, you immediately start laughing again. Oh,

698
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: I've had some pretty bad ones that not bad ones,

699
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: just like I had. It was my one of my

700
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: very first like away appearances. She was on it with me.

701
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: We were in East Texas at m McCoy's, like East Texas.

702
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: Angel Net worked out scramble. Oh no, don't say that

703
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: this is so bad. And I don't know why, but

704
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: like really weird random things always happened to me, like

705
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: if if if it can go bad, it's gonna go

706
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: like a hundred times that bad. So we were on

707
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: this golf course, and I think we were in long View,

708
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: Texas the whole day and it was hot and we

709
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: were on these golf courses and I couldn't get to

710
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: the bathroom. So that was the first start of like

711
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: many problems. She's like, you were like, asked now. I

712
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: was like, I run a golf course. That's not gonna happen. Go.

713
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: So anyways, that was the first of men problems. Well,

714
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: the next thing, I've got like a style in my

715
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: eye and it's like getting significantly more and more painful

716
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: throughout the day and where we have like an auction

717
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the day and I'm like, you know, guys, like,

723
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,680

724
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: of my eye that it was on it like this,

725
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,759

00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: tunnel ready to go. And this is totally not anywhere

762
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: near as good as your story, but it was one

763
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: of my first games in my rookie year, and my

764
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: belt buckle was upside down and it was still done up,

765
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: but it was upside down. I don't know how I

766
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: managed that. I just had a moment and then the

767
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: music started and I just you know, you do all

768
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: your final like fixings before you go, and I looked

769
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: down and I saw it was what was backwards? It

770
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: was inside out. It's the best way to put it.

771
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: And I just like froze and started screaming, and like

772
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: I just didn't the music it already started, and I

773
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: just couldn't move. I didn't know if I should go

774
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: out like that or I didn't know, and I started screaming.

775
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: Bernie Sham was in front of me, and she turned

776
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: around and dropped her palms and it was like lightning speed.

777
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: Just I don't know how she did it. I just

778
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh, like screaming and she redid my belt

779
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: buckle riding time to go out. Oh my gosh, just

780
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: to many moment. But I feel like a lot of

781
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: the stuff that we think about it like is super funny.

782
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: It's just stuff like when again, we'll do these shows

783
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: and then we're places for hours in between and we oh,

784
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: we played heads Up, Oh Yes for Lavorite for at

785
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: least an hour and a half. We were on a

786
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: bus ride to Arkansas, and we all took like the

787
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: Harry Potter quiz and like put our entire team and

788
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: we did, so what's your house? I am? You know,

789
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: huffle Puff Nation, puff Life, hulful, Puff Law, I think

790
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: that's what I think you were a raven claw. Yeah,

791
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: there was a lot of help. Kelly and Judy a

792
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: page cheese. We thought that was really fun. Kelly Judy

793
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: was Slytherin. Yep, Slytherin st Yeah, so I mean that

794
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: was really glad. We do a lot of random stuff.

795
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: I think people don't realize how normal we are, or

796
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: maybe abnormal, not normal. Nothing is normal about what we do.

797
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't feel like pretty cool. Yeah, you get a

798
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: lot of personalities together on then you just kind of

799
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: stop feed off each other totally. I'm just texting William,

800
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: our producer. We're gonna do like ten more minutes. So

801
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: we got to get all this last fun stuff. Oh gosh, Okay,

802
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: a couple of hard hitting things. I think we should

803
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: do some since we will have all of our group

804
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: leaders here. Do a fun group story if you have

805
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: one from the air, and then you could take time

806
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: to think about that. But before that, let's talk. Auditions

807
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: are around the corner. Girls are signing up, probably freaking out.

808
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: Top piece of advice Things you wish you knew any

809
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: anything regarding auditions. Share your wisdom. Um. I think for me,

810
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: the scariest part was the interview and the test, because

811
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: the interview, Like I mean, I feel like if you're

812
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 1: coming audition for this, obviously you come from some type

813
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: of dance background or cheer background, so like that's kind

814
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: of what you do, Like that's what you do best,

815
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: like and you know that's where you shine. So I

816
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: feel like the interview can be scary for a lot

817
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: of people who are used to just making dance be

818
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: their full way of expressing themselves. So in the interview,

819
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: I would just say, obviously, study your facts, no your

820
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: cowboys facts, know who's been traded, who's been released, things

821
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: like that, and positions of players. But also make sure

822
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: you're preparing to like talk about yourself a little bit

823
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: because sometimes the judges just want to know about you, like, hey,

824
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: Janale heard you're from Australia, Like tell me a little

825
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: bit about your family over there. And you just have

826
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: to remember, like they're going to try to get to

827
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: know you, it's not all about just cowboys facts and

828
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: things like that. And definitely definitely be prepared with knowledge

829
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: of you know, everything from any category. One tip that

830
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: I found really useful when I was auditioning for the

831
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: first time, I was trying to lend football rules, and

832
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: so this is going to be helpful for anybody who

833
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: doesn't really understand NFL that well or maybe needs to

834
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: work on positions and players and you know the game aspects.

835
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: So get a bag at Eminem's and get a little

836
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: sharpie and you're right, your little codes for each position

837
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: on it. And then I literally positioned them, move them around,

838
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: put backups in their spots. I'm a nerd like that.

839
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: I'm a very visual learner, so but I felt it

840
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: really helpful to learn how to learn how football's played

841
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: here and the prep classes it was really fun. Yeah,

842
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: and the prep classes are really helpful. I think just

843
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: to get high tour, just to get another perspective and

844
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, to ask all of your questions. If you're

845
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: a future DCC, if you're a little if you're an

846
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: age six to sixteen, you can come and take Camp

847
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: DCC over the summer or too. That's really helpful. If you're,

848
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, one day wanting to become a DCC, you

849
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: can start young and sign up now and join us

850
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: over the summer. I guess my tid bit of information

851
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: for going into auditions with your best mindset would be

852
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: to keep it in perspective it is still an audition, UM,

853
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: and and showing up knowing that that there's a greater

854
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: risk to gain than there is to lose. That's that's

855
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: kind of my biggest piece of advice because I knew,

856
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, if all else feels whenever I was done

857
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: with my audition, I got to come to Texas and

858
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: I got to experience this thing by myself, you know,

859
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: and I you know, same as Janelle and Jenna and

860
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: you know, even you know, Lacy. You know, it's we

861
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: all kind of just came on our own, and I

862
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: think that goes to show a lot about someone's character

863
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: if they can just and we as humans, you know,

864
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: want you want to be in relationship with you with

865
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: each other. But being able to stand on your own

866
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: is also something that's really huge. So I think just

867
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: being confident in the fact that you have a lot

868
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: to offer and this organization has a lot to give someone, UM.

869
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: But just making sure that you take those first steps

870
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: to get there, that's coming to prep classes, signing up

871
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: to auditions, and then just showing up to auditions, that

872
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: that'll get you the furthest I think, right, Yeah, I

873
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: mean and definitely soaking up the moment. And so I've

874
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 1: said this, like, I mean, getting through the audition process,

875
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: whether you make it or you don't, again, it's such

876
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: you should be so proud that you even put yourself

877
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: in that situation to get out of your comfort zone

878
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: and see what you can put into the process. And

879
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: just by the end of it, it can blink and

880
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: the like it's it's over. I really at the end

881
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: of auditions always like did that just happen? Did I?

882
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: Like you you prepare for so long and then all

883
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden it's over. So just really soaking up

884
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: your environment and all the friendships you can make and

885
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: staying competent in what you're bringing, just because someone next

886
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: to you might have other gifts and other talents, just

887
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: be competent what you bring. And that's what makes a team.

888
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: So we're all made up with different skills, we all

889
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: bring something different, and I think that's that's a really

890
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: common misconception with this team, is that you all have to,

891
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: you know, be a certain way. But this team is

892
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: so dynamic and its diversity. And that's one thing that

893
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: I really love sharing at the prep classes is telling

894
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: the girls to turn up and be each other's best

895
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: cheerlead is you know, you're not competing against each other.

896
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 1: You want to be the best version of you that

897
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: you can bay and really support each other because those

898
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: are the girls who you know you're going to say

899
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: it through to the land and you're going to do it.

900
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: Do it like go full out, get that literally show

901
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: up and not have one regret that you could have

902
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: done more, that you could have pushed harder, or you

903
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: could have just like breezed through it. I think a

904
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: lot of girls play it safe and they come to

905
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: auditions because like, well, this is what I know they like. Well,

906
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: maybe they don't know what they like. You know, the

907
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: judges might not have a clue. Maybe you're that new

908
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: fresh thing that is going to show up exactly. But

909
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: going along with what Casher was saying earlier, I mean,

910
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: all four of us here we made it on our

911
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: first trial auditioning, which is really big. A lot of

912
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: girls on our teams, on our team and a lot

913
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: of girls who have been leaders and our second leaders

914
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: right now have auditioned multiple times. And I think one

915
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: of the biggest things is being being okay with accepting

916
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: a no. It might not be your year this year,

917
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: but it can be your year, next year, or the

918
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: year after, like we have. We've had girls who have

919
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: tried out five years in a row, and I feel

920
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: like there's girls that are like, I'm thankful I didn't

921
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: make it that first time because I grew so much

922
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: by accepting that note and taking that year and building

923
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: myself up and then coming into it with, you know,

924
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: a stronger and better mentality and just being on a

925
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: better level of yourself. And if you think about if

926
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: you think about work or you're gonna you're gonna have

927
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: a clearer idea of what you want and what you

928
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: need when it's over. I just think about like our

929
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: really great leaders that we've had in the past, like Jennifer,

930
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: and I mean like Jackie Bob, like girls like that.

931
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: Like Jennifer audition twice. She was eighteen the first time

932
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: she auditioned, and she realized, like, I'm going to take

933
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: a few years off, grow within myself, and come back

934
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: a better person. And she literally became like such a

935
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 1: great leader on her team and went to Pro Bowl

936
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: and she's just done a lot of amazing things and

937
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: she's still working with our organization. So just don't take

938
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: no for an answers the persistent take it and use it.

939
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: Favorite audition memories. Yeah, so my naming of stories start

940
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: out with my rookie here, and we always say my

941
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: rooki here. Well, my rook here, and so it's different,

942
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: but actually naming year, we uh, one of the girls

943
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: is out out there on the on the floor and

944
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: that we're doing like I don't I don't remember if

945
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: it's semis, but it bless her heart all over to

946
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: death Jack's. She had a piece of her extension had

947
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: came out. And this is how you can tell like

948
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: a world class performer. It falls out, she knows it's out,

949
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: it's on the floor, and as she's dancing, she kicks

950
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: it off to the side, didn't miss it. As she

951
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: goes off the floor, picks it up, takes it with her,

952
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: didn't even miss a thing. I was like, that's my girl.

953
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: So that's like probably one of my favorites. It's just

954
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, even something happened like that, she's just like

955
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: And then I kept going, that's fun. Like there's been

956
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: times girls shoelaces are untied, and and I think that

957
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: judges respect more that you pushed through it and just

958
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, don't let that affect the rest of your performance. So,

959
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, things are going to happen. You can't control that,

960
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: so just keep pushing through. I remember, I remember that

961
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 1: my eric. I turned up the day before auditions. I

962
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: stayed across the road from the stadium. Oh, I love

963
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: this at the day's in and I thought Walmart was

964
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: just the best place on earth. And Australians get really

965
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: excited about it. I kind explained it Americans too, Yeah,

966
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 1: it's cool. Well then, and make sure I had a

967
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: window few of the stadium. Watched it all night, wau

968
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: walked across the road the next day, had my outfit

969
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: ready and I was wearing the wrong tie, so I

970
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: really didn't do my hair. I didn't really wear a

971
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: lot of makeup. That was what I thought, you know

972
00:55:58,360 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: that I was. I was being me and I was

973
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: owning me. And I remember I turned up there and

974
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: my mum we'd had this discussion about the outfit about

975
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: how you know, you want to put a lot of

976
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: bulling on it and really stand out and sparkles and

977
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: all that. And I had ordered these rhinestones from the States.

978
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: They'd come into Australia. I got like five on my

979
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: top and like six on the shorts, and everyone that

980
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: I showed at home was like whoa, Like that's too much,

981
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: Like what are you? What are you doing? And then

982
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 1: I turned up here and I was like, well, say mom.

983
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: Literally every girl's outfits was like covered in rhinestones. It

984
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: was the first thing I learned was like, all right,

985
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a fish out of water, but

986
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to own that. Yeah, there you go. That's

987
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: it was. It was like, yeah, essentially it was a

988
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:49,760
Speaker 1: turquoise sports bra and like white shorts and some tights

989
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: that were like probably ballet colored, like they weren't right.

990
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: But I mean I had an old turquoise I was

991
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: in Korea when I got my outfit, and I wore

992
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: an old turquoise shorts and sports bra from Forever twenty

993
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 1: one and I literally had like this Korean seamstress lady

994
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: just put like a gold band right here and right here,

995
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: like I was nothing on it. Like did you guys

996
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: go like all out with your outfit? I just had

997
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 1: I ordered a top and bottoms. I didn't like research

998
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: because I didn't have a clay s. I don't order

999
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: like a sports brawn like hot shorts from the lineup

1000
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: and they were just playing killers because that's the chiefest

1001
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: one that you could get. And I stumped it myself

1002
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: just on the top. I just got kilors that, like

1003
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: I knew, complimented me and and you know, a cut

1004
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: that would flatter my figure or whatever, and and then yeah,

1005
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: just were like what knokis? Yeah? OK. And then I'll

1006
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: just showed up. I see what did you wear? I

1007
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: am actually fall down, Yes, I actually shut up. No. Um,

1008
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: I went into my Joel team director's old costume closet

1009
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: and I just picked some little sparkly braw top that

1010
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: she had, and um, I went and bought some shorts

1011
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: that matched it. But I do remember Shelly McCaslin coming

1012
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: up to me after I had made it past prelimbs

1013
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: and usually you wear like the same outfit prelimbs to

1014
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: semis and she was like, you look great, but your

1015
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: shorts are like way too high up, like I had

1016
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: them up to my belly button. She like rolled them

1017
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: all the way down, was getting on in there, and

1018
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: she was like, okay, much better And I was like, okay,

1019
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm catching on. Yeah right, yeah, But no,

1020
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: I was not all decked out in the rhinestones as

1021
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: much as the other girls were. So I think if

1022
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: you're like a part of it, and you've maybe been

1023
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: around people that have auditioned or you've auditioned before, then

1024
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: you kind of know how to show up. But if

1025
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: you're just going for it, I think we're kind of spoilt.

1026
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: Even with the TV show and social media, like you

1027
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: have references. I think back to like girls that auditioned

1028
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: before Instagram and before really coverage of our audition process

1029
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: was even and I'm just like, how did they know? Like,

1030
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: and I guess that's kind of like it cools Like

1031
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: that's like to me, that's huge, Like you just showed up,

1032
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what to expect, but I'm here,

1033
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: Like that's we're kind of we get it. We haven't.

1034
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: Really we're blissed to be able to have the resources

1035
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: that we do. Did. I had Copezio tights on and

1036
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: I met with Sydney dors So the day I flew

1037
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: in from Korea. I met with Sydney dr So for

1038
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: coffee and she's like, you cannot wear those tights. Take

1039
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: these And I was like okay, Like I had no idea.

1040
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm so glad she saved my life. Yeah, I didn't

1041
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: have that privilege. Would you accept messages from anybody who

1042
