Are they supposed to get to know each other and then take the blindfolds off? Yeah. Okay. Did you say you're on the Cowboys? Yeah. Yeah.

Did he know Maverick was a cheerleader? I did not. Yeah. I did for... I did competitive for just like... And he did it for one of his girlfriends. Oh, wow. Whoa. That's now his ex. No. No. No. Kill Harper. No. Okay. And also... I did that to meet girls. And also Maverick one-manned me in the grass. So...

Yeah. So he's good. So he had one man, you. Oh, okay. So basically. I'm a little scared to do that. No, no, no. You don't need to be scared. So Maverick is a flyer. What? Yeah.

Uh-huh. I say y'all. He does heel stretches and extensions and stuff. It's crazy. Oh, yeah, for sure. He's good. And I just have to say, y'all are perfect for each other. And Maverick has been desperate for the past nine, seven months. Perfect for each other. Name five things about Claire. She's a cheerleader. She is your... She's a beige. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yes.

I'm trying to think. That's a good start, Harper. That's a good start. You know, I've only known her... I know, right? You should just zip. It's fine. I think you should zip. Okay, fine. You ask questions. You ask questions. Since I'm this bad. I like Harper asking questions. She's entertaining. This is great. All right, Matt, you ask your question. Oh, my gosh. How old are you? I'm 24. Oh, my gosh.

Okay. How old are you? 22. Oh, me too. He's younger. I am. That's not a problem. Oh, that is. I think that might be a problem. I'm old for my age. Don't worry. No, that's mature for you.

He's definitely not mature for his age. What? No, meet him. No, we were trying to do pirouettes yesterday. Yeah, I did. Amazing. Wait, you did what yesterday? Pirouettes. Yo, I got four in a row, though. What is that? You got two in a row. It's a turn. No, I got four out of them. Okay, fine, fine. Four? Yeah. That's kind of a lot. I was pretty impressed, too. Who taught you that? Hisself. A ballerina. A ballerina.

What ballerina? Are you cheating on her? What? Hey, yo. It's a blind date. It's okay. They're not together. Yeah, they will be. This is like to see if there would be a second date. So are you guys even going to take the blindfolds off or are you just going to get to know each other? I don't know. Oh, yeah. They haven't seen each other yet. I don't know. You tell me.

Harper, what do you want them to do? You're the one leading them. So, I, I, um, yeah. So, what I want them to do is I want, um, huh. Okay. I'm trying to think. I want them to hold hands. Okay. Wait, hold on. I have to show you. What? I know. What are we, in fifth grade, Harper? Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. Yo!

I can feel symmetry. Is there chemistry, Harper? Yeah, chemistry. Okay. So, it's even. That's funny. Symmetry. And, I,

I, it's even. Okay. And also chemistry. Okay. I could feel, I could feel my, the two hands made my heart race. So, so that's, yeah. So it makes sense, honestly. Yeah. Like, and then, and then like when they're like, so I think y'all should take off the blindfolds. Okay. Okay. Three, two, one.

I kind of pictured you as a blonde. I think just the cheerleader thing, I thought blonde for sure. With you blue eyes. Uh-oh, it's stuck up. Oh, yeah, you do. Oh, no. Wait, can you help me? It's stuck in your earring. I know, yeah, it is. Let me get it out. I can't see it. Oh, gosh, you're... I do have blue eyes, though. Yeah.

Oh, there you go. What, you do? Yeah. Is your hair colored or is that natural? It's pretty natural. I have a little bit blonder hair naturally, but... Yeah, my hair's just naturally red. I can tell. So what are your thoughts, Claire? On the blind date? On Mav. Whoa. Not while I'm here. Kind of cool hair, I mean. Oh, let's go. Would you say cheerleading's like a sport? Stop, Maverick. You're going to offend her.

Yeah, cheerleading is a sport. It's okay. Whoa. Yo, no, cheerleading is a sport. It's a touching subject. I know it is. I've seen this fight...

this fight happens so many times. I do think, okay, so technically I'm a dancer. I know you're like a Marquette or not a Marquette, but like a, uh, a trying to think like a, a dancer, but like, you know, like at high school is how there's like, like how there's cheerleaders and dancers. Like you're more of a dancer. Yeah. Yeah. I don't do flips or anything. Do you do stunts? No, we're like full on dancers, but they call us cheerleaders because we hold pop

moms. Oh, yeah. We do have a football team, but we dance. Well. It's a little different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do think you have to be athletic. It's a sport. Okay, wait, is it true that they starve you? No, they do not starve you. Like, well, like, do they, like, have to weigh you and stuff? I think they used to, but. No, they did. Wasn't there, like, a TV show like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I watched that TV show. I haven't. The clips from that show were brutal. I've seen some.

It's changed a lot. Does that show exaggerate it? Maybe a little bit. It's reality TV, of course they do. But honestly, some of it's real. Yeah. What's the hardest thing you've had to go through being a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader? That's a good question.

Like, have you had to let go of people and stuff? Like, I don't know what to say. I mean, yeah, I could see, like, some guys would... Like, if you had a boyfriend, like, I could see him not... Like, loving it? Loving it. Or maybe loving it. I don't know. It depends on the guy. Yeah, I feel like it depends on...

It depends on the guy. I think the hardest part, this has nothing to do with that, but it's being away from family. And our schedule is so wild that you get one or two weekends at home for the season. Oh, wait, you aren't from here, are you? No, I'm from Nebraska. I'm far from home. Oh, really? Nebraska? Isn't that where Kalani's from? I don't know. She's from Arizona, right? Oh, Arizona. I actually kind of know.

know her. You do? Oh, really? I went to Arizona State for college. And she was friends. I think she grew up with some of my roommates. So I've been to her birthday party. Oh, really? That's fun. I know them all world. That is so full circle. It's the dance world there. Yeah. That's so cool. Did you watch Dance Moms growing up?

I did. Yeah, yeah, same. I feel like everybody did, honestly. I know. I love Dance Moms. But what's it called? Do you have to eat tuna? No. Tuna? Okay, that's good. Why would she have to eat tuna? Because in the movie, or in the show, they had to eat tuna. Oh. And I would just... I don't have to eat tuna. Really? They don't make you eat anything. That's good. Oh, awesome.

Also, did you do competitive cheer at all? Competitive dance. Okay, competitive dance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. That was like four years ago. Yeah. Okay, yeah. Wait, so were you ever a cheerleader until then? No. So, I mean, it's like going back to the thing where they call it cheerleading, but it's really dance. It's dance. Yeah. Yeah, it's different. So I never did flips. I never did stunts. Really? So your first time like cheerleading for a football team was in the NFL? No. I cheered for Nebraska and Arizona State. Oh.

that's fun or dance whatever you want to call it that's crazy like that's so like weird like I thought that they did like stunts and stuff but like they don't I don't well if you go to a Cowboys game we're not like yeah yeah yeah no I'm actually going to go to the Cowboys game and I with my friend Brooke she has box seats so I might see you there so yes I'm the only redhead so yeah yeah oh my gosh yes yes are the coaches strict or are they kind of chill

I feel like a mix. A mix, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they do their job well, so they have to be strict, but they're chill in like some moments. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, that's fun though. Do you like it? I do. Yeah, that's good. I love it. That's good. Are you allowed, Harper, you have to stop saying yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's going to be another yeah count.

bro the last one they had with Kalani she got up to 240 yes oh my gosh in one episode what are we supposed to say that's crazy okay what did I say before the podcast he literally said come on

I would like to point out that this is my first phone call ever on the podcast. Are you answering? No. It was spam. It's okay. I did a like count on myself. Really? Yeah, I have a podcast too. You do? I do, yeah. Really? And so I did a like count and I was... Actually? I almost said I was like, but... It was bad. I had to go back and edit a lot of it. Now I'm like trying to be more...

yeah what's your podcast called yeah sweet as honey oh that's so cute you know i we shouldn't actually name ours that like no but yeah but like i i okay i need to stop saying yeah and like she's so self-conscious now before you only say it over her that's the problem yeah yeah no i i can't stop i oh what

What's with the jellyfish? They kind of distract me. Do you like it? No. They're real. Are they new? No, my math teacher has those. And I grabbed them out of the jar. Most people actually thought that those were real. Yeah, my friend was like talking to them. She was like, they're so cute. What? She was like, this is so sad. They're just in this tiny little container. And then I turned it off. And so then the water doesn't move and they're just sitting at the bottom of the tank. And she was like...

Bro, no way. I was like, no, they're plastic. But how are they jumping like that? It's just the movement of the water. Oh, that's cool. Like me and Addie, we do like sideline cheerleading too. Do you talk to the football players? I mean, sometimes. I'm like, hey, hey.

But like, like other than that, like not really, like we're not, we're not allowed to distract them. And they also get very annoyed, very annoyed. Like they're like, shut up. I'm like, what? Yeah. We're cheering you on. But yeah, like I think it's a

It's a lot different than I expected because me and Addie, we just do stunts, tumbling, all that on the sidelines. And y'all just dance and stuff and kick lines and stuff. That's so fun, though. Wait, do you have splits? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have to. We do jump splits. Do you have a Harper? Yeah. I can show you. Do you want to do them? Yes. Do you really? Oh, she said yes. Harper caps a lot, so I don't know if she actually does. Nice. Can you do it sideways? Yes.

Like the middle splits? Can you do a middle splits? Yeah. Don't hurt yourself. Oh, wow. Cash, can you do it? Oh, no. I'm okay. You know what's crazy though? Actually, a while, like a year ago, I was like, I'm going to learn the splits.

Yeah, nobody can. I practiced like every night for like six months and got nowhere. He was dedicated. So I quit. They made fun of me too. There was like black marks on the wall where I was like trying to do the splits because my socks were like leaving black marks on it. He was stretching a lot. On the wall? Oh, on the wall. Like every night this man would spend like 30 minutes stretching. Yeah, I quit because after six months I made like no progress. You worked so much. Yeah. Yeah. It was pretty sad. Yeah. Do y'all do like toe touches and stuff?

No. Really? I did in college. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. But not anymore. Yeah. No, yeah, that's crazy. We have like really heavy boots on. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The white ones. Oh, gosh. And the hats. The hats are so heavy, I'm sure. I don't wear a hat. What? Wait, what? We just don't ever wear a cowboy hat? No. Wait, y'all don't wear hats? No. That's only at our school? I think that's like a high school thing. Or no.

Or no, they do it in college too, but I've never done that. I thought y'all wore hats, like white hats with blue stripes. Have you ever seen a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader in a hat? Yes, they met me at the hospital. That's a fever dream. When I was like, had like to do these, sorry guys. I have to just talk about my very sad life right now. When I went to the hospital to get my blood tested for, for, for, you know. This did not happen. She always says that. Is she making this up?

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I told you. No, remember she had the picture in the hospital. She just lied about why she was there that one time. Oh, yeah. But that part was true. But she actually did go to the hospital. Yeah, I had to go to the hospital for just like, since I'm very short, I had to just go to check my blood levels and stuff. And the Dallas Cowboys, like the Dallas Cowboys saw me and then one cheerleader did. So it was very fun. She had a hat on. No. Okay.

But I remember that she did. I just remember that she did. I have a very vivid imagination. Yeah. But yes, yes. Anyways, have you all had a fever dream? A fever dream? I feel like I had one this morning. Wait, wait, what's a fever dream again? It's like where it's all like... No, like when you're sick. You know when you get sick, you get weird dreams? Yes. Like that? Yeah.

I mean, I definitely. I think it's just a weird dream, right? It's like nostalgia or whatever. I don't even know. I get fever dreams about the dentist. You know how they make your cheeks really puffy? Yeah. I be getting dreams like that. I'm like, oh, no. Yeah, no, that's not what I have fever dreams about. What are your dreams about? I just have fever dreams. About? But you can't even define it for me. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

What? Harper, what? You can't think of what? She doesn't want to go to that dark place. What? It's about our fever dreams. If you don't, you can't name one. Guys, I had donuts this morning. What? You just chained in the top? Yes.

I had a lot of donuts this morning. I had three donuts. Wow. She's on a sugar rush. Yeah, I'm on a sugar rush. And I'm having fever dreams as we speak. Well, Maverick had a morning. What? Actually, no, you didn't. Oh, yeah, I've had a crazy morning. Actually, no, you did. I was going to say that for the next podcast. No, no, he did have a crazy morning. If y'all want me to get into it on this one, I can. Mav's morning started about an hour ago. Man woke up at like noon. So I got home at like 4.30 a.m.? Why? Why?

Because he dances. Yeah, I was at a dance event. I was at a country dance event. And it was so fun. There was people from out of town. He lifts different girls up.

Yeah. So there was a lot of people from out of town that I hadn't danced with and they were all there and they were all dancing till dawn. I was like, I'm not going to be able to dance till dawn. That's what it says on the flyer. It says dawn. That sounds like the most miserable drive home ever. Well, they're staying at the hotel so they're just going to go. Some of them would go nap and come back and I'm like, that's all I got to go home. You dance till 4.30 in the morning.

Yeah. Well, I danced till 4. I had a 30-minute drive home. Usually after podcasts, he's like, sorry, guys, I gotta go dance. I have to tonight, too. That's what I wanted to tell you. So, last night. What are you? You make me mad. No, no, no. I know it's gonna make you mad. Because last night, there was four competitions I entered. Okay, hold on. Mind you guys, last time Maverick had something big to tell me, he went out to lunch with his ex. Oh, this isn't big. I just think it's funny because of what you said the other day. Okay.

This girl was calling me egotistical or something. Oh, absolutely. Maverick has the biggest head ever. Sometimes I can't fit in the house. It's true. 75% of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is about how great he is.

That's not true. I'm literally, like, I'm going to be a world champion dancer. Like, I'm that good. I'm going to be. Once he got his first belt, he wears it every day. Listen, listen. I will be. It may be, like, two or three years, but I will be. Okay, anyways, go on. So, last night was actually... This is, like, like...

The same people that put on the Worlds puts this event on. Yeah. So there was probably like 30, 35 dancers in each category, people from out of town and stuff. And there was four categories. And I won first in three of them. Okay. Good job. I got buckled. You three of them. You kind of just ate your words, Kate. Okay.

- Congratulations. - Yeah, I was like, I can't wait to tell Kate. And then the other one I got third, which I was actually shocked I got third in, 'cause that was the one I felt the most confident in. - You got first in three competitions yesterday? - Three, dude. And I beat, so me and the girl that I did it with, she was like, hey, you wanna do this competition this week?

I was like, sure, why not? We never practiced together. We've social danced a few times together. We practiced for 30 minutes before the comp. And I was like, all right, I guess we'll just see what happens. And we beat like this one couple. I'm so confused how we beat them. I'm like, I think they need to check the cards again.

I only said that because we got, we were about to have to go out of town for a job that we were going to get paid for a job. And then he's tripping out. He's like, bro,

But yeah. Well, congratulations. Yeah, that's big. World's best dance. Do you guys ever have like competitions that you guys like compete against? Or is, no. I did growing up. Yeah, that's what I think. But now, no. We have like, our auditions are a big competition. They last like months in. Months? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. It goes all through the summer. It's crazy. Wow. Wait, you have to re-audition every time? Yeah. Every year? Yeah, every year. It's terrible. And we go through a training camp. It's like three months long. So they hire you and

And then they fire you, and then they hire you, and then they fire you, and then they fire you. Your contract lasts like only a year. That's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy. So how many years have you done it for? Four. Wow. That's crazy. You're good now, you think? That's pretty good. You're like grandfather now. Yeah, I was like, I'm the grandma now. How long are most people there? I would say...

Five max, but that's rare. Three to four. Five max? It's hard on your body. Really hard. I feel like people don't stay longer than that. Are you going to quit soon or are you going to do it for a while? I don't know. Do you have to spray tan a lot?

All the time. I know. When I was in competitive cheer, I had to do it so, so, so much in self-tan. But everybody would get spray tans. And I was like, I want to get spray tans. So I got them. And then I can't stop getting them. Yeah. Do you like them with red hair? Yes, but I just smell bad after. Yeah. But other than that, red, like, I hate being pale. I just hate it. I hate it so much. It's terrible. But when I get spray tans, I get all happy. I know. Yeah. I feel like that's...

that's any girl though. Yeah, yeah. Happiness comes in a bottle. I know. It really does. For the girls. Yeah. But also, are you sure you won? Oh, I won. I won all three. And then today, because he said there was no money. Okay. Well, did you find the backpack? Bro, you did not win. I did win.

So what kind of dancing is it? Country dancing. I don't even know. I did dance hall, which is like basically like swing dancing stuff. Two-stepping? It's like two-step. And they called me. Let's go. They called me today, Kate. Let me see that thing. And they asked us to open the show tonight. Oh, wow. Are you going to do it? Wait, what? Yeah, so me and her are going to open. That's why he was like. So I got to dip out of here right after. Oh, he's not lying. Yeah.

Let's see. That's third place. That was my third Jack and Jill. It's okay. I got it. Does it have actual money in it? Oh, $50. Oh. Dang. What are you going to buy? I don't know. Those are the first place ones, but I don't know. I don't even know if I got money with those. Oh. First place? Yeah, this doesn't say anything. $50. $50.

Well. Well. I feel like I brought it to dinner. I brought it out for a bar comp. And this was like a professional competition. It was crazy. Yeah, Mav is tripping out because he's like, Kate, what time are we filming today? And I was like, one. And he was like, oh, we're going to be done by like four or five o'clock. I just think it's funny because he didn't know if I could tell them yes to doing the opener tonight. Because if not, then...

I need to go. So what I'm hearing is that my Christmas tree is not going up today. Well, that's what I said. I can get it down, but I can't set your Christmas tree up. I told you. I can get it out of the attic. Matt can get the Christmas tree down. Alex can set the Christmas tree up. And my husband does absolutely nothing. And you can hang the lights. I'm busy, man. I have...

What do they say? They're like, if I make this shot, will you pay me $1,000? I'm like, no. I'm not paying you. But you know what you did do? You paid Hardy, Hosh, and Harrison. I did. All of them $20 to eat a chip. I did. Or a wing. I went into Buffalo Wild Wings and ordered the hottest wings. And I was like, if you guys eat these, I'll give you $20. And they ate all of them. When did you do that? I don't know. I was poor. I saw them. They ate all of them. And then he adds them on Snap.

Yeah, I didn't add them on Snap because one of them said they had a boat. They don't have a boat. I'm sorry. You know what his boat was? A rowboat. Rowboat. I was like, I'm not getting that thing. Wait, was it Hardy? Was it Hardy? No, it was Harrison. I was like, that ain't no boat. That ain't no boat. That's a rowboat. Nice.

No, but yeah, that's crazy. Have you ever like paid your fans more than $20 like them? We paid a girl at Buffalo Wild Wings. Oh, that was crazy. We were at Buffalo Wild Wings again. And we said, hey, will you guys make like the hottest wings you can make?

And she was like, I'll see what the chef can do. And the chef was like, oh, bet. And he like did some crazy stuff to him. He was like, he was like, he put, he put, um, he put seeds in the wings. Yeah. He was like, he was poking holes in it and filling them with seeds. With seeds.

Like the spicy one. That's a lot of work. Yeah. He did it for three weeks. We were like, we want one that we cannot eat. And he made it bad. Like, we licked it. We just licked it. We went. We had like two or three guys with us. And we were offering up to like $600 for one of them to eat it. All the guys that were with us, we licked it. Nobody would eat it. And we were like, $100 a wing. There's six wings. And this waitress comes up. Hot as wing. Hot as wing. Can you get her milk? Can you get her milk? Oh my God. She's so scared.

No way! What? She's going- No, no. You don't have to eat. And it's this small little girl and she's a waitress. She's like, I'll do it. We're like, okay. And she grabs- She looks like she's 90 pounds. You're not gonna eat this. We might have the video. I might find it and pop it up. She grabs the wings and goes-

And eats all six of them. Cleans them. No. All six of them in like 30 seconds. And the best part was, after, yeah, after, she just turns around and walks over to another table and starts taking an order. She doesn't even get water. Doesn't even get a drink. Just continues on with her day. No. She didn't drink anything. She just ate them and then went and took more orders.

And did you just... Were you like, here. Yeah, like, $600. We're like, what's your Venmo? I wanted a better reaction than that. Yeah, bro. There's no way. No, me and Addie went to Buffalo Wild Wings last night. And we just sat there for, like, a few minutes. Because, like, we were just bored. And my phone died. And I couldn't text my dad and stuff. And I forgot my dad's number. Okay, anyways. So, basically, what happened was we went there. And there was this, like...

guy, this like 50 year old guy. And he was calling, was calling like somebody just staring at us. And I was like, yes. Hi. And, and then, and then like, what, what else did he do? Like he was just being so weird. Yeah. He was very like drunk and we, and we were like, what are you doing? And then it was after hours or not after hours. What?

Yeah, he followed us around, and then we started running, like, just sprinting. Was this what you were doing last night? No. What? No, yeah, it was so bad. Did you, like, bark at them? Yes. No, I was like, and then, like, he didn't budge. He didn't budge? I started doing something, and he starts barking at me. Bro. I was like, what's going on?

Yeah, he hid behind a counter and Addy was like, oh, those are stairs. We looked around. It was a bench. A bench under the table. And he was just sitting there. I was like, what? Terrible. So when they play other teams, do you travel with them? No. Oh, just home games? Yeah. I think we would go then.

Have they ever been in the Super Bowl? Yes. They have? Not in a long time. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe this year. Wait, so how long have you been cheering for? What? How long have you been cheering for? Four seasons. Oh, wow. So four years?

Oh, wow. Wow. That's so cool. But yeah, I, how many people have gone and like left? Oh my gosh. A lot. Yeah. That's gotta be sad if you're like best friend doesn't make it. Yeah. It happens. It does happen. Yeah. Like every year, like what percentage of the girls stay? Like how many leave? Like, is it like a new team practically every year?

No, no. There's only eight rookies this year, so 27 out of the 36. There's 27? That's a lot. 27 veterans, but there's 36 total. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, every year. So really not that many new girls. That's crazy. Now, are you there when the all-star people come to cheer? Yeah.

Like at the stadium, AT&T? Yes. Really? Yeah. I went to that competition last year. Yes. Yes. I was there. You were? Yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yes. I'm like part of, I don't think I'm allowed to say it on here, but like, yeah, we cheer and stuff. So you're on a team? Yeah. Not this year because it was just too much. Yeah. But last year I was. Is this a top secret cheer team? Yeah.

No. No, she just doesn't want to say it on here. Yeah, I'm not allowed to say the name. Like our school. Oh, it's a school? No, it's not a school. It wasn't your competitive cheer team? Yeah, competitive cheer. You're being smarter than me. But I had to quit because it was just too much. Like, yeah. I just, yeah. Like cheer athletics? Do you want your water? No. Yes, yes, yes. I want water.

No. Okay. I saw it on TikTok right before we started. Oh, sorry. Can everybody go to their text thing and show their most used emoji? How did you know what's your most recent emoji or used?

Like the top one? Yeah. No, no, no. Like your recent emojis. Yeah. How do you know which one's most used? What do you mean? Is it just the top left? You literally just... You go to emojis. Yeah, but which one's the top used? Oh, what the hell? Why is it a shocker? I do send the shocker a lot. No, it's all your recent. See it? Oh. I thought there was like a number one most recent.

Let's see here. Mine is the heart emoji. Yeah, mine's the shocker and then the upside down smiley face. Mine's the laughing face. The laughing one. Mine's the hand heart. Oh, cute. That's a cute one. Mine's the two hearts, like the two little hearts. I literally send the handout to everybody. Wait, what about your cash? I've never gotten one of those. Yeah, I can't.

What about you, Cash? Oh, mine's just the laughy face. Man, that would be weird if I started texting you hearts and stuff. It was weird this morning. I go in there to my, I'm literally getting ready in my bathroom and I dropped my razor and it busted the razor head. So I'm like, I'll go to Cash's bathroom and borrow his razor. I walk in there. I'm talking to Kate for like 30 seconds. He comes in and I was like, oh, I was doing my makeup. I wasn't looking. And he said something and I was like, oh, it's Maverick.

And then you started talking some more, and then it started sounding like Cash. And then she comes in, and she's like, Cash? No. I've been talking to you for, like, two minutes. Dude, everyone says that. Everyone says we sound exactly the same, and I don't get it. I've never, like, really... I mean, y'all do sound super similar sometimes. Wait, I have an idea. We should play a game where y'all two talk. I sit right there, and then... You have to say who it is? Yeah, I have to say who it is. I think that's pretty easy. I think that's an easy game. I don't feel like we sound that...

No, but y'all call your parents all the time and like we'll start talking to them and it's like... Oh, I can talk to my parents on the phone for like 20 minutes. If I call off his phone, they just assume it's him. They'll never know. Yeah. They'll never know. They never know who it is. Like ever. But I expected you to know. I did know. You walked in and I said, I was like, oh, it's Maverick. And then you started talking some more and it sounded like Cash and then you talked again and it was Maverick.

Wait, so you said you try out for, like, months. How does that work? Like, how do you try out for months? That's a good question. Okay, so we do, like, multiple rounds of the audition. Yeah. And then people can get cut throughout those rounds. So, like... How many start? Like, how many are applying? Like, 100. I don't know. Like, I think...

My rookie year, it was like 1,200. Oh, my God. I know. What? 1,200? So they narrow it down a lot. Yeah. That's wild. That's crazy. Wow, so you're special. Yeah. I don't know. I'm lucky, but there's like 1,200 to start, and then you submit a video, and your throat's

No, you're good. No, I got it. Okay. Basically, there's just multiple rounds and they cut you with each round. And then you get invited to like the in-person audition and you do a solo and you do like... How many go to the in-person? I think... I want to say like 70. So they narrow it down quite a bit. Yeah. And then from then on, after finals, you get invited to training camp. And training camp is like all summer long. And you can kind of get cut anywhere from...

June to like August before the first game. Yeah, it's crazy training camp is two months Yeah, well, there's so many people I gotta get through and a lot of people I know that there's a lot of people there that it's just like why did you yeah come to waste our time? Yeah, which they kind of filter those people out and like the beginning. Yeah Yeah, by the time you get to training camp, it's like down to 50 and so they go from 50 to 36 But it's like every single night

Just a lot of pressure. Every night? Yeah, like Monday through Friday. I would hate that. This sounds like a show. Sounds like dance problems. It sounds crazy. You don't get paid though during tryouts though, do you?

So do you have to work on top of that? You do get paid during training camp. Oh, really? Yeah. But yeah, everyone does have a job on top of it. So what do you do like part time for your other job? I kind of have a few, but I teach dance and Pilates and then I choreograph too. Do you like make videos for YouTube for Pilates? No, but maybe that's a good idea. Yeah. I teach like performer Pilates. So it's on that like, have you ever seen those beds? Yeah. They're like contrast.

I don't even know what Pilates is. Is that like karate? No, it's kind of like yoga. It's like a more intense version of yoga. But there's resistance. Yeah. It's more of a workout. Yeah, yeah. Like yoga is just like stretching and relaxing. Well, yoga is low-key hard actually. It is hard. No, in Costa Rica,

I've been twice, but the first. Just subtle flex. I've been twice. I've been twice. No, like, I'm not like that, but I love Costa Rica, but, like, we went. So the first time I went, it was the best trip I've ever been to, ever been to. I loved it so, so much. And it was just the hotel that I loved. And in the mornings, there was yoga, and there was, like, aerial silks.

And we had to go upside down. And my mom almost threw up. And, like, the blood, like, rushed to her head and stuff. The curtain things? Mm-hmm. I've always wanted to do one of those. Yeah, go to Costa Rica. Go to Costa Rica. It's so fun. Just go to Costa Rica. Oh.

Just go right now. No, no, it's so much fun. Y'all don't understand. Y'all have to, in one of your, like one in your lifetime, just go to Costa Rica and go outside of Costa Rica. What? You could do that in America. You could do it. No, but no, and Costa Rica, no, but literally there's monkeys hanging from our silks. Oh, wow. That's kind of cool. It's so much fun. Like, like so much fun. And then, uh,

Every morning, me and my sister, we would go to this hammock garden, and we would see the monkeys hanging from the hammocks, and the monkeys would growl at us.

It would be so much fun. It was so, so much fun. Like, so much fun. And then also, what else happened was we saw like a bunch of different animals and we were going, we were going tours. Really? No way. Yeah, it was so much fun. What else did you do? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

There's also more smoothies. And me and my sister would get smoothies every morning. In Costa Rica, they have smoothies? Yes. I thought that was only in America. No, no. Really? Yeah. And we almost saw a gorilla. And we almost saw a tiger. And we saw everything you would never see in your whole entire life.

Wait, how do you almost see a gorilla and almost see a tiger? Because it's Costa Rica. They don't have tigers or gorillas in Costa Rica. Yes, they do. She started thinking you're alive. She means almost because the enclosure was closed. Yeah, almost means you didn't see it. I did see it. I did see it. I did see it. Well, like we just saw a tarantula and I got to hold a glow-in-the-dark scorpion.

Yeah. Wow. I'm very. You held it. Yeah. Uh-huh. I held it. I would be terrified to hold a Scorpion. Yeah. And I was only 10 or 11. But then the next time I went was last year. And I was like 13, 12. I forgot what I was. And yeah, it was just so much fun. That does sound fun. Y'all should definitely go. Should we all go to Costa Rica? Yes. Honestly, we could. Just. We'll just go from here. Yeah. Like once we wrap this pot. Let's just drive down there actually. Yeah. Well, y'all go to Cancun.

and act like it's nothing? We've gone twice. Yeah. Yeah, she's gone to Costa Rica twice. Oh, well you make it sound like we go like once a month. I feel like Cash has been like five times. Okay, Loki, he's been a lot. Only three. How many times have y'all been to Disney World? Oh my gosh. I've been to Disney World a lot. I've been to Disney World once. What? You have? Yeah. Is that like a frequent thing you do? Yeah. Wait, how many times? Like, I don't know, 20 maybe. What? Disney World or what? I do not like Disney World. It's not the happiest place on earth. How many have you been to? Probably like 20 with both.

Wow. Is it like still fun? No. Yeah. Honestly, it is. Your life is so fun. The different towns. No, it's fun. The different towns is fun. Okay, Epcot. Yeah, that's fun. No, I just flew down there last year to meet one of my friends for like a weekend and we went and did four parks in a day, which was insane. That's, oh. Yeah. When I went, I had to do like four parks every four days. Like, it's terrible. It's so bad. So would you consider yourself like a Disney adult? No.

No. You've been 20 times. I think you're getting close to that line. You know where all the hidden Mickeys are for sure. I mean, it does sound like that. I don't know. My family just...

It's fun. It's like whenever we're there. They just like, if something's not fun to them, they don't understand how it could be fun to anybody else and they can literally just shut you down if you have fun with something. I like Universal. Universal's really fun. Universal's fun. Okay, I haven't been there. You need to go. I go. They're building one here. You've been to Disney 20 times but you haven't been to Universal once. That's wild. That's crazy. The Universal building here is like for children though, I thought. Yeah, but. Maybe it'll still be fun. Maybe we can go. Disney World's for children, Kate.

No. No. No, I see most old rides. No, but the thing is... I agree. I think Disney World and Disneyland is for kids. I will live...

I will literally go to Magic Kingdom for kids. No, I haven't even been to Disney World. I went to Disneyland once. And now he's like, we already went to Disneyland. Why do we have to go to Disney World? What's the difference between Disneyland and Disney World? Disney World is so much bigger. Yeah, Disney World has like the four parks. Disneyland has two parks. I've only been to Disney World. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I go to Universal every year. Well, now I don't for comps, like Worlds and stuff.

But not anymore because I quit. But like I might just go honestly. I love. And oh, I'm going to Universal for school cheer because I had to be, I was a fill-in and now I'm actually like a fill-in because the person like couldn't go anymore. So I'm going to Universal. So I'm very excited. Oh.

Yeah. I've done that too. Yeah. Yeah. It's so much fun. I love Universal and it's just so much better altogether. But like ever since, ever since I got viral on TikTok, I get stopped everywhere. Like, which is like bad. She's just too famous. No, no, no. Like, no.

How did I get viral? I don't really know actually. I kind of, you know, she was there when I made my first video and it was like my first viral video because the first one was me and my friend, we just made a video and got like 100 likes. Then the other one,

I made the second day and then it started going viral the first like day. What was the video of? It was me doing crazy. Like it was just me being crazy. She does like get ready with me. Get ready with me. But like unhinged. I'm very weird. That's funny. I'm very weird. But I don't care. I really don't care. No, but yeah, it's just like me being crazy and stuff. And then like by like a week it got like.

100 000 likes and then and then no and then it started getting like more and more but like it was so much fun but like when i tell you like at hotels and stuff it's terrible like it's it's it's bad like it's real bad it's a really hard life and i try to get through it and it's fine do you like it though yes i love it i try to get noticed no but it gets to a point where it's like hey do you know where harper's hotel number is like

Oh gosh, okay. Just give it a minute. These drafts aren't... What is that? It's okay. Wait, wait. Did y'all hear about the lifetime access to Disney? What? Lifetime access? Yeah. How much does that cost? I think it's 40K. It's literally... $40,000? Yeah. Wow. It's just like... You get to go a certain amount of years, but it's lifetime access. That's not ever going to be worth it. For her, it would. Yeah, for real. It's at least like $1,000 every time you go, right? No! I posted it!
