HasanAbi and the Fear& team dissect the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' failed unionization, exposing how the NFL exploits dancers with unpaid training camps and $500 game pay despite a multi-million dollar Netflix deal. They analyze Amanda Howard's dismissal after demanding better work distribution, contrasting her "icing" with the organization's claimed 400% raise that lacks healthcare benefits. Ultimately, the episode highlights systemic labor abuses in entertainment, urging viewers to contact unions like Unite Here while mocking corporate narratives of replaceability.

Buying Parrots and Flowers00:12:17
I think if this episode is eating and driving with my mark and texting and drinking. I've thrown away your silverware.
What?
I can't help that one.
Take it back.
What is going on?
Why?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another fabulous episode of the Fear Ad Podcast where we are all here.
We are on time.
Oh, yeah, and we are ready to rock.
32 minutes late, cutie.
You're getting your pay dock.
No, she's not.
She is not getting her pay dock.
We're done.
None of us dock anybody's pay.
What should it be?
Nobody's docking anybody's.
$100 every minute.
I'm late.
No.
Whoa.
All right.
What?
I want to talk to you.
Then I'll just skip episodes because there's been a development in my life.
Blah, blah.
So I now have to feed my black widow spider.
Oh, my God.
I hate your black widow spider.
It's like, I'm not even.
Okay.
So, okay.
I can't drive to a pet store and buy a cricket.
Ew.
Put it in a little bag.
Okay.
There it is.
That poor cricket.
Yeah, why don't you get a pet cricket?
Why can't you feed it like veggies or something?
It's a predator.
Yeah, but feed it like, I don't know.
What's a protein that's not living?
Wait, do you need to buy soybeans?
Feeded soybeans.
Do you buy alive crickets or do you buy dead crickets?
Just release some flies in there.
That's kind of fun at Hobgates.
It's just hard to find flies.
Marsh, I'm sure you could feed a black widow soybeans.
No.
Think about it.
We'll just eventually it's going to cave and eat the soybeans.
You don't even eat dead bugs.
You have to have live bugs.
So it's going to die if it...
Oh, thanks, Groc.
No, spiders do not eat soybeans.
Okay.
Okay, sorry, continue.
So, but I'm in this one pet store all the time, and there's this really cute, nice parrot that lives there.
You're going to eat him the parrot.
No.
He wants a parrot.
Rescue the parrot and then do a stream where I drive the parrot to Maya.
Just want to clarify, a lot of people broke.
That's not rescuing it.
You're getting it from a pet store.
But he doesn't want to be there.
I know.
It's really sad.
So he can't be rescued because he's...
No.
He can't be rescued.
What do you mean he can't?
Because she's a real rehabilitation place.
And he doesn't literally be like, you're buying it directly for Maya.
Yeah, otherwise, yeah, exactly.
And I'm buying.
By him and like break his wing.
Sure.
I was just thinking.
I know.
I know.
The problem is Maya already has parrots that she teaches about.
All right, whatever.
No, it's fine.
Okay.
Wait, what is that?
Too many fucking parrots.
Pet stores shouldn't.
Yeah, pet stores shouldn't sell parrots.
Parrots are a bad pet.
They eat through your walls.
They live like 80 years.
And so then you have this parrot that outlives you sometimes.
It's fine.
I'll go in and see his sad eyes every day.
Why don't you get him and then tell the pet store, hey, no more selling.
Who owns a parrot?
I know, but then you got to stop the cycle.
So you buy the parrot.
No, I just helped pet smart.
Hey, PetSmart, stop selling parrots, you bozos.
Wait, where did they go?
Wait, I don't understand.
You created a market for parrots.
The guy's going to go back and be like, oh, my God.
We should buy more parrots.
Yes, if I buy and keep the parrots.
Well, then you got to let him die there, I suppose.
This makes no sense.
Really?
How do you stop the pet?
I have an alternative solution.
Thank you.
You stake out the pet mart.
Steal it.
Yeah, wait, no, hold on.
That's also ethical.
But no, you stake out the pet mart.
And every single time people are walking into the pet mart, you're like, oh, man, I really miss my parrot.
What a great pet the parrot was.
You make the guy buy the parrot.
Then you follow the guy home.
Okay?
You've convinced his person.
This is not going to work.
You've convinced this person to purchase a parrot.
Okay, okay.
You wait it out for like around 20 years until he gets bored of having the parrot because the parrot is eating all the walls.
This is a long call.
Finally, 20 years later, when the guy finally says, Enough is enough.
I can't keep this parrot anymore.
You're right there waiting.
You go, ah, I'm here.
I know just the right place to rescue this parrot to boom.
Ethical solution to this unethical problem.
The only ethical solution.
Well, what a disaster.
I think we should start getting t-shirts that say, don't buy parrots.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
And that's our first step.
That's a step in the right direction.
What else do you want me to do to stop the parrot trade, huh?
Intercept the parrot traffickers and release them.
Who the fuck is just getting these parrots and giving them to Pet Smart?
Where are they getting them?
That's what I'm saying.
They're breeding.
Petsmart is breeding the parrot.
I have an idea.
I will face Matcha's sad eyes every time I go.
His name is Matcha.
Yeah, named Matcha.
Okay, I have named him Macha.
No, his name's Macho.
They need to pass.
Every time I'm buying a cricket, I go, Hi, Matcha.
And I pet him.
He jumps on my arm.
Did they name the cricket?
He's like, I'm on my shoulders.
He comes back down.
And then I put him and I go, I'll see you later, bud.
And I go, one day I'm going to take you to a sanctuary.
And now I can't tell him that anymore.
Because apparently he's not okay.
We would call that the chuzz.
No.
No.
I have a real question.
No.
I have a real question.
No.
Chopped husband.
Yeah.
I have a real question.
Uh-huh.
What if I just fucking lied to Maya?
She'll probably watch the podcast.
Yeah, I was like, but hold on.
What if I was Maya's best friend?
I found this fucking parrot on the 101.
Would you vouch for him?
Vouch for it.
She would probably.
Did you lie for me?
Would you lie for me?
I think her first reaction would be to call a local bird rehabilitation center.
That would be her first.
Oh, so she doesn't want to even take the responsibility.
No, unfortunately, there's some.
Unfortunately, I believe that they're probably at capacity for parrots.
So I see.
Because what if you get this parrot that doesn't get along with the other parrots?
Dude, I bet if it was.
They actually don't.
I bet if it was Jason the Ween bringing a parrot, she'd love it.
Actually, I have a perfect example.
Stable Ronaldo had a baby bird that he found, and she said, Call a local rehabilitation center.
And she gave him a phone number.
Yeah.
This is matcha.
Well, we are.
It sounds like you're meant to have matcha, but that's unethical.
I know.
Judy, you just buy a parrot.
He gets a parrot, and then he says to PetSmart, hey, don't refill this cage.
I mean, I don't think that's how it works.
Then how are we supposed to stop it?
Is my question.
That's why I asked you.
I'm providing solutions here.
You go, okay, you wear no, his idea was the worst.
No, you have you put on your most flamboyant outfit.
I don't have 20 years.
No, that's not it.
This time it's much faster.
Let's start the talk.
Put on your most flamboyant outfit that says, I'm a parrot consumer.
Okay.
I'm a parrot enthusiast.
I find parrots.
I buy parrots.
I sell parrots.
Okay.
You go to Petco and you say, oh, Michael, sir, this fine parrot is from which region.
And then they tell you, and then you fly out to that region.
Okay.
You track down the local sources of the parrots and then you do a side deal with them.
Okay.
To no longer allow parrot poaching.
You convince them to poach other animals instead.
Being ethical is hard.
I know.
It's hard.
It's hard.
And expensive.
What do you guys have going on this week?
Well, I just visited home and I'm back.
Okay.
What did you do at home?
My aunt came to visit and we had a lovely week together.
Just amazing, good old, wholesome family time.
Really?
That's nice.
Beautiful.
I have a PSA.
What's that?
Everybody, right now, buy flowers for your grandma.
Just for no reason.
Both of them or dad.
You can't then.
I never had any.
What do you mean, what?
Well, why?
Where's your grandma?
What do you know about my grandma?
She needs flowers.
That's what she needs.
Okay, I'm gonna buy her flowers.
It was my grandma's birthday.
Well, it is in a week or two.
And I sent her flowers just because, because I was like, oh, wait, her birthday's coming up.
I should send her flowers for her birthday.
And then I was like, no, I should send her flowers just because, and I should send her other stuff for a birthday.
I don't really talk to my grandma because my mom died and she's kind of, you know, she, my mom was the one who talked to my grandma and then reported back.
And then my mom died, so I was not going to talk to my grandma.
And I try to call my grandma, but she's deaf and she can't hear the phone ring.
And it's a whole thing.
She's like 84.
Damn.
Spring chicken.
Yeah, spring chicken, but she has lost her hearing.
Unfortunately, Mormon.
Yes, yes.
So I sent her flowers and she freaking cried.
And I was thinking to myself, I was like, thank goodness, you got to send your grandma flowers now when she's alive because imagine the only flowers you give her are on her freaking casket.
I have to send your flowers right now.
Both my grandmothers are dead, but I spent a lot of time with them.
So I think it's a good PSU.
You are the type of person.
I used to take my grandmother out to lunch every single day.
I'm a big random gift guy for all the women in my family.
Yeah.
I'll just randomly have all their addresses saved on Amazon, and I'll just, when I think of them, shoot somebody.
Are you a big for me?
It's all about taking care of the matriarchs of the family.
Yeah, women in our family are very much taken care of.
I want to take them on trips as I hang out.
Stop on my niece.
All right, I'm calling my niece back.
We're going to put her on the pod.
Okay.
How old is she?
Don't quote me on this.
Uh-oh.
Ballpark, ballpark.
Cora, Cora.
You're on the Fear End podcast.
I tried to poop my pants today and it was really hard.
So if you can help me, it would be funny.
She's working on her Australia.
It's good.
Yeah, my.
I have been seeing the British counties and it is so nice.
Oh my God.
I really think that you should come here and poop my pants with your stop.
Was that a prank call for me?
She pooped my pants.
I think she was prank calling.
Is that a prank call for your niece?
Yes.
And she needs to learn how to star 67.
She has a cricket phone.
She only has five numbers in there.
How old is she?
She's calling you back again.
This is crazy.
Cora, did you tell me to poop my pants?
Did you tell me to poop my pants?
That was Jake.
That was my mistake.
Oh, it's really good.
It's really good.
Ask him if the refrigerator's running.
Wait, no, she's not here.
Hey, can I say something really quick?
Can I ask something?
Yeah, what's up?
Hey, is your refrigerator running?
Is it can I?
No.
You should go catch it.
It's over.
She said no.
I know.
She said no.
She actually knew how to do it.
I thought she said no.
My refrigerator's broken.
She's heard that one.
Oh, that's a classic.
You got to star 67, though.
That's what they missed.
They messed up.
Yeah, she has a cricket phone.
She literally has like 10 numbers on her phone.
We know how to star 67.
Her parents don't let her have a smartphone already.
No, hell no.
Smart.
No.
That's a solid.
Oh, man.
All right.
What are you guys doing, huh?
Other than makeup?
What's going on?
You ready for me?
You need me already?
You guys need me to pull it out?
Well, you are a part of the podcast.
Wow, you need me already, huh?
You're one fourth.
You're a fourth of the hoe.
I know.
I'm just surprised you need me so early.
What do you mean?
You know what?
You know what?
Fuck you, Jason.
So, boys on the episode.
I have a question for Cutie, regardless.
Cutie, are you going to Teraomi's birthday?
Yes.
Okay, we'll go together then.
What is that?
Tonight.
I don't want to go in.
So you're not even doing your makeup for the pod.
No, I'm doing it for the pod.
Turbulent Flight Experiments00:02:37
You're such a liar.
It's insane.
It's insane how much you lie.
It's insane how much you attack us on your other podcasts.
That's true.
I don't even talk about you guys on that one.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
You know what?
In her defense, I haven't seen a clip about us in at least a couple weeks.
I did a social experiment, though.
I almost never repeat stories.
Okay.
And I repeated stories.
I saw.
Three times.
I saw.
Wait, when?
And what was it?
I did it on Sweet and Sour, mostly because I was a last-minute fill and I didn't know what else to talk about.
But then I talked about it on Wine About it, and I talked about it on Fearan.
And there were a few people that were like, wait, I saw this on three podcasts.
And I was like, I. You're like a stand-up comedian now.
I was going to say, repeating stories is a very common thing.
Well, I like never do it.
I try to come up with something unique for both the pods.
But like, even three and I was like, I'm going to try that.
Like, you mentioned comedians.
Like, Robin Williams would go on talk shows and he'd repeat the same bits.
How do you do you repeat your airport stories to other people as well?
When I have a story, I tell everybody and then I forget who I've told and then I tell it again.
Did you see there was a turbulent flight where 25 people got injured?
No.
You mean Southwest Airlines?
Oh my God, you're not even on.
You're y'all tapped in.
Tapped in.
Flight bros.
We pilot planes now.
Both of them know.
We know.
Both of them know.
She doesn't have a girly talk and he's not up on the plane, guys.
Well, no.
I didn't even pay now.
I don't understand.
Ever since the Air India crash, I'm done talking about planes with you guys.
I record separate videos on the Patreon.
Yeah, I do.
An aviation expert doesn't even know that there was a massively turbulent flight.
The massively turbulent flight that you're discussing probably was something that came across your feed that happened months ago.
You want to bet?
Are you talking about the Southwest Airlines flight?
You want to bet.
Pull it up.
Pull it up, Marsh.
Turbulent flight injures patrons.
I don't think this is 26 or even more than that.
Did this happen today?
We'll find out.
He made a bet.
Oh, five hours ago.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
25 people in the hospital.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe I haven't seen this.
I mean, Austin shows.
Dude, you are so confident.
Dude, you know what it is?
It's because we're locked in.
We're flight bros.
We're aviation experts, dude.
Oh, my God.
And you know why that is?
Because we have flown and he hasn't.
No, exactly.
Filthy groundy.
Are you okay?
Are you okay, Groundy?
You find us.
Severe experience took a Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam Wednesday, sending service carts and unbelted passengers into the air, forcing an emergency landing in Minnesota where 25 people on board were taken to hospitals.
Delta 56.
Holy fuck.
I've flown on Delta 56 before from Salt Lake to Amsterdam.
I've done it before.
Oh my God.
Stealing Forks from Home00:10:55
That's so.
Look, folks.
So you lost a bet.
What was the bet?
You just made it.
What?
Oh, I didn't know.
This is the...
No, they forced it.
Wanna bet.
That's me.
He said wanna bet.
You indicated.
Run the tape back.
You indicated the beginning of a bet.
He says we kissed the ground.
Okay.
All right, folks.
Turbulence is, and they were never in danger of crashing, but the most dangerous turbulence can be is you could just fall out of your seat and hit your head on the ceiling.
That's the most dangerous, but you won't die unless you break it.
Look at that rapid climb and descent.
Yeah, go.
Hold on, let me see.
Now that...
No, that's when they clicked it.
They descended 1,350 feet.
Yeah, but that in 30 seconds.
Yeah, it's a lot.
It's a lot.
Will has done worse than that.
So much so that the altitude.
The flight instructor had to take control over the yoke forcibly.
Yeah.
Well, now that's another reason Cutie's not getting away.
I'm going to break this so bad.
Do it.
I can't.
Cutie Murad is official.
I think he did his first solo flight from San Diego to.
I know he asked me when I was going to fly with him.
I said, No, okay, so I brought a bunch of topics, and because everyone else is no, I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm not surprised you need me.
Do you want me now?
No, I got one other that I want to talk about that was really cute.
You just tell me when you need me.
I'm ready.
I went suit shopping with Murat for his wedding.
And it was.
Why didn't Hassan go?
He was busy.
Hassan, that's your brother.
I was dying.
I'm not the stepbrother.
He's the brother that stepped up.
No, I was literally dying.
I got my tooth taken out because I had an implant put in and the implant didn't hold.
One of them did.
The other one didn't.
And so they had to literally take it out and re-carve the entire thing down to the bone.
It was incredibly painful.
I was dying.
Dude, why didn't you take narcotics?
Pain medication.
I'm stupid.
I don't like taking pain medication.
I mean, okay.
I'm good now.
I'm fine now.
I mean, I think you should take pain medication.
Are you afraid to take medication?
It's too late now.
Well, okay.
Hey, go ahead.
I'm sorry for your pain.
Go ahead.
No, it was very cute.
Murat and I went shopping.
We tried on like 20 different toxes.
He looked so handsome.
Sweet.
Yeah.
I was there with Anne.
Are you in the are you like?
Are we supposed to wear a certain outfit to the wedding?
I didn't know you were invited.
I'm at the wedding.
Yeah.
You were invited to the wedding?
Yeah.
Hold on.
Y'all can't.
The old awesome would have fell for that, but I sat next to.
I don't know if you know her.
Hold on.
I don't know if you know her, but I sat next to the bride-to-be at your birthday dinner.
Whose name is?
Wait, no way.
Are you so for real?
I'm sending this clip to Murat.
Gotcha.
Dude, that is so.
This is worse than Gladiowars.
This is worse than Glad Awards.
This is worse than Glad.
I am so.
That's crazy.
We should bleep her name, though, regardless.
Yeah, that's why I didn't want to say it.
Shut the fuck up.
You did not know.
I have a massive brain fart, and I do apologize, Murat.
If you're watching this, I knew name, but I'm bleeding.
Stop saying her name.
That's crazy because you didn't know her name and now you keep repeating it.
We have to make Marge bleep this.
One whip purple.
Oh, my God.
I don't know if we can include that in the podcast.
Oh, yeah.
We're going to do it.
Oh, that's going in.
I can't believe it.
That's going.
I'm so embarrassed.
I've done this before.
I forget.
No, I'm bad with names.
No, no, no, but I know her.
I sat next to her.
I'm making it worse.
No.
Oh, my God.
I'm just so bailing you out.
I'm so sorry.
Hey, it happens.
Forget.
I'm so sorry.
I'm uninvited.
I think.
I'm so embarrassed.
Why would you set that up?
It totally happens.
That is cruel.
They've only been together for like, what, six years?
It's so cruel.
I have forgotten the names of like cousins that I've been.
It's okay.
I'm so sorry.
I've had a brain fart.
Cousins is crazy.
I am.
Oh, I'm so embarrassed.
This is so cool breeze right by.
Anyway, I sat next to her at the birthday dinner.
And we talked about the guest list, and me and Christian are going.
Nice.
My Christian and I.
But are we supposed to coordinate a suit?
No.
There's no suit coordination at all, but it is going to be very warm.
Yeah.
Yeah, we need to get to get somewhere to stay.
I know we have to.
We talked about getting an Airbnb because I need a kitchen because I'm making the cake.
Oh, you are making the cake.
Yeah.
I am so embarrassed.
I'm also making a cake.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Good luck.
No, I was asked to.
They were worried that you were going to let them down, was what he said.
Yeah, that is a common meta with cutie.
Good luck.
That and also stealing forks.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
We all saw the clip.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Have you been stealing my forks?
I've never been to your home, so absolutely not.
Yes, you have.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Yeah, we know you like stealing.
You steal everything.
Wait, you're supposed to lie.
I haven't been to your new home.
Did you steal forks from my old home?
No, I'd only been there twice.
You said it weird.
You said no.
I'll be honest.
I think it's an environmentally conscious decision, kitty.
Yeah.
Because the more forks.
Imagine I get a plastic, then I have to throw it away.
Exactly.
Plastic, number one, has to throw it away.
Number two, she's taking forks out of your home so you're not wearing the dishwasher.
You want to eat with plastic?
You want me to get BPA?
You want me to die?
Eat with your fucking head.
What do you want me to do?
You want me to freaking go home hungry and not eat?
No, that's what you want.
That's what you want from me.
The forks behind.
Yes.
But I have to, but then I have to hang out with you extra while I eat.
I'd rather just eat on my way home.
I think if this happens.
You're eating and driving.
Yeah.
With my fork.
And texting and drinking.
I've thrown away your silverware.
What the?
What?
I can't help that one.
Take it back.
What is going on?
Why?
Why did you throw it on my silverware?
I tossed it in the trash.
What do you want me to do?
Dig through it?
Why did you do that?
I don't know why you would admit that.
Oh, but okay.
Cutie stoles an entire collection of silver, and I throw away one fork and all of a sudden I'm the fucking shit.
You said four.
You said four.
So excuse me, when you eat and you leave it in the bag, you just throw the bag.
First thing I fucking forgets Murat's fiancé's name.
This is not my fucking episode.
Captain Socialism, I am merely taking ownership of the means of consumption.
You almost nailed it.
Is production.
Yeah, she's not.
She changed it.
She did.
But also, also, shit a pun.
I like it.
Cutie.
This is a cooperative corporation.
Yes, we all share the forks.
You don't even understand.
You don't even understand.
That's not sharing them.
You can have them back.
Cutie.
What?
You are practicing socialism and you literally don't understand it.
If every time someone asks you about the situation, like the pay structure, you're like, oh, I don't know.
They just like give me money.
I think.
I hate it.
I hate those guys.
That's actually taking my forks.
Is not.
I think.
Have you been noticing?
You didn't know until you left a donut until the clip.
And the only reason I know which forks are yours is because they're ugly.
Yeah, no one is going to notice that their forks are being stolen out of their home by their friends because that's insane.
How many?
Yeah, that's like that was confusing.
That's like an Austin thing.
That's like finding out that someone's been leaving pubes in your bed and you're like, they didn't notice.
How could you care?
And it's like, no, what you're doing is crazy.
We could do that.
Leaving pubes.
Don't give them ideas.
They're going to do that next.
I just, I, what?
Marks explicitly wrote, socialism is being friends with Hassan and stealing his shit.
I mean, I have been on the steal from Hassan train for a long time.
You invented it back.
You created it.
I did.
You made this.
You're welcome to steal from me if you want to come to my house.
I have a lot.
I have a beautiful house.
I had a beautiful home.
I think we should do a stream where we go to his house and pick up.
In Oregon, please come visit me.
Oh, no.
We're going to the one in LA?
Fine.
Steal whatever.
There's nothing left.
Wow, that got depressing.
There's nothing fucking left in this city.
This city has stolen everything from me.
I've been here for two fucking weeks.
I walked out front and my fucking recycling bin was gone.
How the fuck does that even happen?
What the fuck is with this city?
You told you.
I hate this.
And you were like, no, no, no.
I have to live in the Abby's backyard.
No.
And I was like, that's a lot.
That's crazy.
I know.
People are stealing everything.
It's a lot of fun.
I mean, I've lost everything.
Yes, it's the days.
Somebody stole my fucking.
I ordered a USB cord.
Stolen.
Done.
Wait, you know this already from my situation.
Like, I know.
When you leave, delivery.
I didn't even leave it.
I was just, God forbid I come home an hour or two later.
It's foot traffic.
It's a city.
This is how it works.
Okay, big dog.
You don't live in the suburbs.
What are they going to do?
It's called socialism.
I guess so.
I guess so.
Oh, I guess you don't like it when people steal your shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now imagine it was a fork.
What?
Multiple.
He likes it.
I think forks are.
You know what they did with the USB cable?
They probably threw it in the trash just like you did to his forks.
That's true.
I'm going to bring back your forks.
When?
When I have enough to make sense to bring them back.
You had.
I just would have run.
It's worth a fucking barrel.
But it's worth a trip.
It's crazy to me that they're taking it.
I know it's not worth a trip.
How many do you have right now?
Like five.
That's not that many.
So it's just you in this house.
You don't take that many.
Six is a set.
Exactly.
So I have to wait until I get to six.
Until he has no forks.
And then it's worth the trip.
He has like 18 forks.
Oh, my God.
You counted them?
You're like, oh, I was like, he's got forks to spare.
Have you been noticing your forks gunman?
He didn't know.
No, I didn't.
I didn't notice it.
Because my mom's like, the forks went to somebody in need.
My mom will sometimes come into my house and will literally be like, oh, yeah, I'm taking all of your cucumbers.
I'm like, what?
And she's like, yeah, I ran out.
I'm like, okay.
See?
He now uses me like a pantry.
I believe when your friends come over to your home, I believe that they should be able to steal from you.
Yeah.
So like I can take whatever you want from my house.
Ever visited my home?
This is a very, it's not like we steal your clothes or your understood.
You used to literally steal my jewelry.
I can't steal yourself.
You stole my house.
That's like your clothes.
That's your jewelry.
That's much different.
You're on our last time you came to my house.
You stole a pan.
A pan?
Yep, your cake was in it.
No, you brought it.
No, I gave it to you and you took it home.
A pan?
I don't know.
Treslette's cake.
Wait, wait, wait.
It was in a casserole dish.
Wait, you gave that to me.
Well, it's kind of like the same thing.
You come here all the time.
You can get it back.
This is.
No, she's not.
I can't.
You stole it.
It's not worth a trip yet.
Once you get five, it's worth a trip.
Captivating Reese Stories00:08:38
What is happening?
Six, I mean.
Okay.
Okay.
Girly pop.
Ready?
I'm ready.
Okay, we have a new segment.
Whoa.
No.
It's a new segment.
What is it?
It's not Girly Pop Nation.
We need a new jingle.
I know.
So you think about it.
Is it Burly Pop Nation?
What do you think?
What would that be about for men?
What's the name of it?
It's not going to work.
It needs like a new vibe.
It's called QTV.
Oh, my God.
I'm not done yet.
It doesn't.
Why are you a rocket billy?
I like that.
Why are you a rockabilly?
It just feels like it went a little long.
I love your vineyard.
It's like Austin.
Exactly.
It's like Austin and like 11 Japanese salary men that are keeping Rockabilly alive right now.
There's no one on the back.
Jingle.
No!
There's one Japanese fan right now with a leather jacket who's like, I like it.
It's a good one.
Right at the start.
Cut TV.
Okay, QD TV.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to make my slideshow today, which I'm really sad about.
But the concept is I tell you about the TV show that I watched this week.
You're going to like it.
That's not a segment.
Yes, it is because you don't watch the shows I watch.
You don't know that.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Tell me about the DCC cheerleaders making the fucking team bitch.
Oh my God, that was so crazy.
The drama between Brooke and Ashley.
No.
No.
There's literally no one on the team named Brooke or Ashley.
You fucking soul read that.
I'm excited.
But like, how do you get it?
Not one person?
There's not one.
There is not one.
Actually, there's not one Brooke.
How is there not one Brooke?
Or Ashley, that's what I thought, what you want to hear about it or no, we don't want to hear about it.
Oh, there's Kdiana, there's Shandy, there's Reese, there's Kelsey, there's Marie Claire, there's oh sorry, I thought it would be cool, like a little background as you're doing it.
Okay, so just try it out the whole time.
No no, just try it, I just want to see.
Okay so, picture this.
You're gonna like this.
It's perfect.
Okay okay, we like it already.
You freaking hate it.
I had an idea for a segment too, but I want to wait.
You gotta tell her.
You haven't told us.
No, I feel, I feel dumb now.
The jingle no, Cutie.
The jingle is too fucking good.
We have to do the segment.
No one thinks the jingle is good.
The jingle is, it's an instant classic.
It's an instant classic Cutie walking Cutie into this new segment because the jingle, the jingle is insane.
You have to do this.
Okay, I thought you guys would like it.
I'm into it.
I like nothing has happened.
You got to tell us the segment first.
I'm into it.
Okay marsh, pull up a picture of DCC making the team Netflix.
This is on Netflix.
If you guys don't know, this is a second season.
The concept is Dallas cowboy cheerleader.
Oh, you know them, they're the hottest girls in the freaking nation.
Just because I know you guys need something on the screen to say focus, there's not one for you.
We should stream with the DCC.
Yes, we should.
Okay, did you fly to Dallas?
No, but maybe they'd come here okay, so we need to talk about something.
There was season number one.
Okay, it was famous.
It was famous thunder.
You know what i'm talking about?
No one watched it.
Yes, they do the dance.
I've been in the room before jump split.
No, I went to go do a stream with the Dallas Cowboys and I got to hang out in their locker room.
Okay, it was cool.
Well, notoriously no one can really last past six seasons being a Dallas cowboy cheerleader because it fucks up your hips so bad that you have to get hip surgery out.
Yeah, is it like Cinderella at Disneyland?
No well sure, but the biggest thing is you don't have to replace your hips after you work at Disneyland, literally like they have to get knee surgery because there's they have to do jump splits at the every single day.
You know how much pressure that is.
Well like, it's crazy.
And their high kicks have to be so freaking high.
It's in.
It's crazy stuff, okay.
So season one comes out on Netflix and it takes a nation by surprise.
Everyone's doing tick tock dances.
I swear to god, if you yawn during the DCC segment, I will shoot you in the face with the shotgun.
I was not okay.
So season one centered around.
I was in awe.
I was going, oh okay, it's crazy that their hips get replaced.
Season one centered around mostly this, if you go up that picture of that really pretty girl, see that yeah, that this is Reese.
She's incredible.
She's the hottest girl on the team.
She is a woman of god.
She loves Jesus okay, she loves him.
Are they all Christians?
Uh yeah, it's death, it's death.
Yes yes, she is a god-fearing woman.
And it's incredible because when she dances she is a sex kitten and I mean that in the best way possible, she turns into something else.
It's incredible stuff.
She honors his name.
Yes, so she.
She auditions.
She's incredible.
She captivates millions.
Um, she introduces the world to her fiancé at the time, now her husband, and they are mean.
They say he is not cute enough for you and she says that was mean.
Is he a man of god?
He is a man of god.
Can we get a picture of him?
You can, but don't be mean, because that's not kind.
I'm not gonna be gonna.
Well he's.
Her name is Reese Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.
Uh, her husband's name is Will Yeah, sounds hot to me.
Oh, you can't say oh, you can't say oh, no, I said oh, like oh, no, you know, I think I could, it could, um, no, search go ahead, keep going, keep going.
I'll be honest, I think that you know what?
Oh, wait, go to this one.
He seems one, uh, the red one.
He seems to be people were mean to him.
He's very nice, great personality, he's cute.
No, he's cute.
Okay, now look, there he's cute.
I need you to do, and this will be muted for YouTube, but I need you to do Reese Thunderstruck Dance.
You have to see this girl dance.
Holy cow!
But I had a visceral reaction to him, not because of the way he looks, but the way he looks, those remind me of like every young college Republican I've ever had the misfortune.
Probably is a surprise, surprise.
Yes, they are all men and women of God.
You know, you guys know what that means.
You have to look up Reese.
Oh, come on.
Maybe go to her TikTok, actually.
Actually, that will do it.
Go to her TikTok.
Reese, TikTok, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
Is she popping on TikTok?
Yes.
So she was like main character last season because it was just like such a juxtaposition.
You're like, what the heck?
But then a lot of people found her social media.
One second.
Oh, there we go.
Oh, God.
That first, I don't know, one of them.
Oh, yeah, that first one is fine.
Look at, oh, God, look at her go.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, she's incredible.
Oh, she's an icon.
Dear Jesus.
She's just gorgeous.
Okay.
That wasn't.
I know it was enough.
Okay.
It was enough.
Okay, just a little news boost.
She's incredible and she's captivating.
I want to see more of Reese.
Who doesn't want to see more of Reese?
That's how Reese is.
Reese is captivating.
Show us more.
Show us more while Cutie's talking.
This is making me pay more attention to the story.
I think she's a beautiful woman.
What do you mean?
I'm a visual learner.
As I am.
Okay.
I think she's a beautiful woman.
She is beautiful.
She's captivating.
However, people found during the offseason her liking posts about defunding Planned Parents.
She's a child of God.
Yes, she is a child.
Look at that.
Oh, wow.
Incredible stuff.
She don't need Planned Parenting to get an abortion.
She can just do that.
Oh, dad.
That's fucking crazy.
She caught that on three cameras.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
They have four cameras.
Oh, my God.
She's very incredible, but they definitely did a backseat on Reese in this year's or season two.
Wait, because Woke got her?
I think Woke might have gotten her.
Veterans and Backseat Drama00:15:26
No.
And she's gotten so famous on her own that she was able to quit her full-time job and instead just does social media.
This wasn't a full-time job.
So that's the other thing you guys should know.
Are they able to get paid nothing?
That's $500 a game.
Oh, my God.
And then treated like Darbo.
$15 to $20 an hour for practices, which keep in mind, it's only part-time, even though it's practice every single night for like two to three hours.
And how much per practice?
So they end up making about $37,000 a year for a season.
For a season.
Well, and then there's off-season training.
I'm sure.
They should pay them way more.
They should pay them way more, especially after getting a multi-million dollar Netflix deal.
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you think the Dallas Cowboys probably gets like IP like licensing and money off?
Do they get a cut from the Netflix show?
So it reminds me, it is giving.
I don't know if you guys know this, but do you remember Girls Next Door?
Yes.
It was this crazy thing that.
So if you don't know the history of Playboy, essentially, Playboy was this pinnacle of Hollywood, this sex symbol, this gorgeous, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Everyone wants to go to the parties, blah, blah, blah.
But then in like the 80s, 90s, it kind of became like a do heroin and like between your toes type situation.
Like it got nasty there.
It got scary.
Got crazy.
And then somebody in that.
So then, in order to get attention and kind of bring money back to the brand because they were running out of money, Q Hefner, who is really fucking old and disgusting, by the way, not forgiven, starts going out with multiple girlfriends, being seen at clubs with multiple girlfriends, right?
And so it becomes a spectacle.
So all of a sudden, people are interviewing.
They're back.
They're back in the media in like a positive, not necessarily a positive way, but in an interesting way.
So then comes the show.
It wasn't on MTV.
It was on one of them.
Fun fact: I've been to the girl next door.
Was it VH1?
I've been to the Playboy Mansion.
Oh, the one across the street.
I went across the street that was like being actually sold at the time.
Yeah.
And me and my uncle, Chunk Weigert, went together and visited the house.
It looked like shit.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It was in a dire state.
Hugh Hefner was also like a hoarder.
Like he would, he also would like keep blackmail on people.
He was a nasty, nasty guy.
We don't like him.
But we do like women owning their sexuality, which he did help with until he stole it away and profited off of it, which was cringe.
Anyway, but so long story short, they start the girls next door on VH1.
And they're the three main girlfriends and they're part of the show, Girls Next Door.
It brings millions and millions of dollars in, even to the point that there are casinos, like in casinos in Vegas, have slot machines that are Girls Next Door themed.
They're selling bobbleheads.
They're selling merch.
They're like, Playboy is back, baby.
You know who didn't make any money from that?
The girls.
The girls.
All of their likeness was being used without their like, you know, in without them profiting in any way.
It wasn't until I think like season five that Holly Madison was like, wait a second, she pushed back.
Long story short, she leaves by season six.
Like she's gone.
She's like, no, I'm not being taken advantage of this.
Like, so it got crazy.
It got nasty.
Essentially, that is how I feel DCC is doing to these cheerleaders is they're getting a multi-million dollar Netflix deal and it shows because you know what?
So, so Dallas Cowboys, just like any other football team, they have preseason, right?
You know, and usually that's when they do the friends and family night for players and also the cheerleaders so they can bring people.
Notoriously, it's a preseason game.
The stadium's fucking empty.
Okay.
This year, preseason game, full to the nines.
Thunderstruck starts playing.
Everybody is locked in.
The audience is louder.
Now they're there for the fucking girls because they just had this Netflix show that went crazy.
It went viral.
Like it has brought back the Dallas Cowboys in a way that they haven't had in years.
Brought back the Dallas Cowboys.
In a way to non-I'm talking about the Dallas Cowboys.
No, no, she's got, she's got a point.
So you see what I'm saying?
She's got a point.
Because like, you know, the Dallas Cowboys.
Yeah, football and cutie Cinderella.
Exactly.
It's funny because like that statement is pissing off so many Texans in a way that you don't even know, but you're, but you're right.
The Dallas Cowboys haven't been pushing the way they used to.
For the record, like making the team was Dallas Cat.
Like you got to think about consumerism to the girly pops, right?
So you know who did it well?
Fucking the Kansas City Chiefs because we were talking about it because of because of Taylor Swift.
And so you know the best thing that Cowboys could have done to get the norm, the normal girly pops talking about them was bringing back DCC.
Like, so making the team was normally on like country music television years ago and it was captivating and horrible.
And, you know, Kelly and Judy, the two like directors there would call girls fat and say they couldn't make the team because they needed to lose 10 pounds was crazy because everyone was a size zero.
Yeah, it was a crazy, crazy show.
It will do anyway.
But so bringing it back, I think was a genius move.
However, it's crazy that the girls like make no money off of it and they still don't make money off it.
Yeah.
However, they were getting $500 a game and that was exposed last season.
So this season coming back, all of them are talking about, wow, everybody, like America is saying that we don't make enough money, right?
Sometimes you don't know until everyone tells you.
Okay, I got an idea.
Okay.
I'm going to salt the Dallas Cowboy Girls by going in undercover as a cheerleader.
That's what salting is.
Okay.
Work with a union.
Okay.
And you're actually getting on a job site.
Not with the purpose of like getting a job, but with the purpose of unionizing the labor force.
It's like secret agents.
How the fuck are you going to get?
There are a bunch of conservative MAGA women.
No.
No.
Hasana, you're going to be proud of me because I noticed.
I said the same thing.
I'm sitting there by myself.
Wait, I have nothing to do with it.
The idea of salting?
I said, let's, I said, well, I could be a Doll Scout cheerleader.
Brilliant.
I can't.
You could.
I can't do that.
Can you do this?
You look like him.
You got the look.
Can you?
That's the nicest thing he ever said.
You're blonde and you look racist.
I take it back.
Well, you are Mormon.
I mean, you were.
Well, there have been the incidents on the podcast.
Yeah.
And you avoid every episode where we have a minority.
Yeah, you are noticeably absent from episodes where there's black or brown guests on.
You should ignore them and continue speaking.
Tell them I'm speaking.
I'm speaking.
Thank you.
Okay, calm a lot.
I mean, you just told a brown man that he shouldn't speak, which is kind of deeper in that narrative.
You too.
She's like, go ahead.
I got my eyes on you.
Your gay doesn't protect you.
She's like, go back to the bottom.
See how scary that is for white folks?
I'm trying to, you know.
I'm Lebanese.
He's Lebanese again.
Okay, anyway.
And I'm like, surely they're going to unionize.
They have to unionize, right?
But so they're so proud of you.
The thing is, the thing that they say, and they tell the girls this, and of course they tell the girls this.
You need us more than we need you.
No, there's a union busting.
There's a line of girls out the door that would be a DCC cheerleader.
All the girls know this.
So they're going into audition, the veterans.
So keep in mind, like I said, veteran, usually you tap out at six years.
Like six years of a lot.
Usually people tap out at five or four.
And so it's crazy.
They had a few six years and five years going back in and they're like ready to be veterans and they're talking.
They're like, listen, we cannot bring up pay until we make the team because if we if we say it during auditions, they'll cut us.
So they're like whispering about it.
I'm like, yes, bitches, go, go.
You got this.
You know, I'm like, you're going to unionize.
It's going to be crazy.
And so sure enough, by the way, thousands of people audition for the DCC, right?
Like it's crazy.
Every girl who grew up in Texas.
Yes, exactly.
Me didn't make it.
I'm just kidding.
I didn't.
I didn't.
No, we should all submit videos this year.
I'm just admitting it.
Are they accepting men as cheerleaders?
I doubt it, but you can try.
They have male cheerleaders.
I don't know if they're not.
Not the DCC.
I'd be a Minnesota Vikings cheerleader.
I don't think you have a cheerleading corps.
Yeah, we do.
I bet Christian could.
Yeah, Christian.
Christian could make it.
He could make the team.
We use Christian as our loser.
Oh, sleeper sound.
Brilliant.
He wouldn't.
We could ball him up, too.
He would bring a real energy to the DCC.
He can dance.
He's got a dollar energy to him, too.
We could really put him in some boots.
He's from a racist county in Florida.
He's still playing.
He understands.
That's good.
He understands racism.
You've got to be a little racist.
Literally.
Okay.
Fucking hell.
Yeah, you just docks off.
Okay, well, you can mute that.
What are they going to do?
Go find where he lived.
I don't know.
Oh, I guess he doesn't live there anymore.
You know what I mean?
So there's a few subplots, but this one I want to focus on.
Okay.
And we'll touch on some other ones in a little bit.
So essentially.
This is the longest segment we've ever done.
Are you mad?
No, I love it.
Thank you.
Okay.
Okay.
So I can't, now I'm insecure.
No, it's very overthinked so much.
Well, in her defense, you just said this is the longest segment.
Well, I say that because I'm supposed to be the bad guy and she's going to read shits on my American.
Cutie, the segment is killing it.
No, you've got a great jingle.
We've got a great segment.
Let's keep going.
No, you're supposed to be energized.
How did that jingle go again?
We can't do it again because we got to wait till the end.
Okay.
Anyway, he likes it so much.
He wants to do it at the end.
So, gotta close it out.
There's this thing called train.
Essentially, you audition, you video audition, and then a bunch of girls get flown out to do an in-person audition.
Okay, then from there, only 42 get selected for a two-week training cab where they don't get paid, by the way.
Crazy, they do not get paid, and they are working out every single fucking day.
They are learning dances in literally a night, and then they have to perform them.
And if they don't do their kick rate, they're getting yelled at.
It's like crazy stuff.
So, and so at this two-week training camp, they take the 42 girls and they get it down to 36.
So, they're just cutting people, right?
And so, that's why everyone's like, No, we can't talk about like we can't talk about pay or whatever until we make the team.
So, then fast forward, the 32 make the team.
Finally, they're like, Okay, we got everyone.
Like, this is good.
Nobody signed your contract.
They're saying, Nobody sign your contract.
Yes, so they're doing it.
They're doing it.
We're so excited.
They get on a Zoom call with all the girls.
They're like, Nobody sign your contract.
Nobody signed your contract.
They're like, Okay, I'm filming it.
There's got to be scabs.
So, wait.
So, so then they have a veterans.
So, like, five veterans go and have the meetings with the lawyers, okay?
Because Kelly and Judy, who are the directors of the DCC, they're like, You can't talk to us.
Like, talk.
They just kind of like, you got to talk to the hires up.
So, surely enough, the veterans go talk to the lawyers and HR or whatever.
And they wait, they went directly to the I know.
They went to the company.
They messed up instead of going to like a like an entertainment-facing, like, I don't know what it would be, what unions already have like unionized, but it would be like a players' union potentially.
They could do it with the players.
All right, let her continue.
Um, so I have to figure out this girl's name really, really quick.
But one of the girls, um, Jada, is like she's like one of the main veterans.
This is her fifth year, but there's one specific girl who's kind of being a little more skittish, no, attitude-y, like, she is being a little more.
So, essentially, well, they went to the meeting, they came back defeated.
They get back on their Zoom call, and of course, and they're like, They told us that there's just a line of girls outside that'll take our spot.
Like, we don't know what to do.
Besides, besides, maybe we all stage a walkout on Wednesday, so they're all this is like a Monday.
Okay, so they're doing collective action, good, exactly.
They're like, Let's all stage a walkout on Monday, whatever, you know, on or on Wednesday, whatever, like two weeks from now.
Um, let me, I got to find this girl's name because it's, I'm not going to do her justice if it doesn't.
One second, frick, um, DCC.
Will you, Marsh?
Maybe you can pull it faster than me.
DCC Netflix season two cast list.
Um, it's the only girl's name that I can't remember.
It's driving me crazy.
Um, cast.
Oh, no, it only shows Judy.
Where's the fucking cheerleaders?
I literally don't know.
It might have been okay.
I'm sorry, girl.
You did great with stuff, but Gabe, look it up after the fact and cut out that entire piece of downtime.
Oh, God.
I'm so sorry.
I can't find the cheerleader here.
I know it's not the first four.
It's not these girls.
I know all these girls' face.
She has brown hair, blue eyes.
She's like gorgeous.
It's not, oh, whatever.
You're supposed to.
Actually, I know exactly what to Google.
Sorry.
This is important.
There was an article last year about Dallas Cowboys.
Wait, don't link it.
No, you're going to last year.
This is not.
This is not.
I know it's going to be because it's recorded a year past.
So wait.
No, this was.
No, no, no.
This article is written about the first season, urging them to unionize.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
From the defector.
And they make the convincing case.
This is a message for this year's.
This is from the defector.
They're a great outlet.
This is a message for this year's Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader candidates only.
It's time to download Signal and start a union.
I watched that Netflix doc series, America Sweethearts, and I can't stop thinking about how Dallas Cowboys chief brand officer and executive vice president Charlotte Jones said, even though they make like $500 a game, these women don't become DC for the money.
Rather, according to Jones, they have a passion for dance.
There are not a lot of opportunities in the field of dance to get to perform at an elite level.
It is about being a part of something bigger than themselves.
I can't believe this was the best media training the daughter of a billionaire could get, but I'm sure she doesn't do her job for the $1.5 million salary either.
Look, I know you're going to say you can't start a union because they'll just fire you and replace you with 36 more compliant women.
First of all, that's illegal.
Amanda.
As much as the team may insist that it's a family, it's not.
It's a job.
Second, I understand that you don't want to rock the boat.
That is the trouble with highly coveted roles.
They can pay you pennies just for the privilege of being part of the team.
I get it.
I'm a journalist.
Third, isn't the whole point of America Sweetheart that you have to have a perfect, ineffable mix of skill, charisma, beauty, and flexibility to earn a spot on the team?
You found it?
Yes.
Okay, I was pulling for time.
Okay.
Sorry.
Okay.
Amanda Howard.
So essentially, they all go into this.
They all go into this and they're like, it's going to be good.
What you guys don't know is you get paid $500 for a game, but you also get paid $500 for like an appearance on like Good Morning America or like charity events or whatever.
So it's, they're like planning this walkout on whatever day, like two weeks from now or whatever.
But then on like, I think it was like a week later or something like they're planning on a Wednesday.
Amanda notices that she's not getting booked on like any of the other events, right?
So she schedules a meeting with Kelly and Judy, the directors, and she goes in there and Amanda in the Zoom call, she was like this big spearheader where she was like, ladies, we have to do a walkout.
She was like, ladies, we have to do a walkout.
They need us more than we need them.
Like she is saying that.
She's like, if we all walk out, they can't just replace us.
They have a game in two weeks.
Like you have to do it.
Amanda Howard.
So I don't know her IG, but I found it.
So then, so then they sit her down.
She's with Kelly and Judy and she's sitting there and she's like, hey, I noticed I haven't been booked on these.
They're like, hey, hey, I noticed I haven't been booked on these things.
And Kelly and Judy straight up, or Kelly straight up says, well, I heard that you need us more than we need you.
So and then Amanda, as anyone would in that situation, immediately buckles.
Illegal Walkouts Explained00:07:41
She's like, no, I'm so sorry.
Like, I love this organization.
I don't want to leave.
Like, da, da, da.
The whole walkout falls apart because of this.
Okay.
This is why unionizing is incredibly difficult.
And it's a process that needs to be handled by like at least one person that like knows what they're doing.
And that's why it's usually more successful when you rely on like a national football season starts in a few weeks.
Let's unionize the DCC.
No, I'm not even kidding.
I already reached out to a labor reporter friend of mine.
Let's do it.
He may have started something.
I know.
I think because I was watching and I was like, they need to unionize.
This is organic.
Like this is really interesting that this happened without this happened without like outside interference because under normal circumstances, you have like assault or something.
Yeah.
But it's really hard.
I can't make the squad.
Or usually knowledgeable.
Someone who is knowledgeable on the workplace conditions, but knowledgeable about like unionization will usually kickstart the process.
You get names, you get cards.
And then you usually will try and link up with a national organization so they can give you this legal counsel, this legal guidance, because just like the defector article correctly reported on, it is illegal for them to fire you for wanting to unionize.
They can't fire you and then replace you.
That's illegal under the NLRB or the National Labor Relations Act.
So for that reason, a lot of companies will just try to lie to you.
They'll say, oh, you're replaceable.
Yeah, they bullied them.
But it is, but this, just like how we talked about wrestling last week with Hulk Hogan's passing, rest and piss Hulk Hogan, which I want to talk about later, is the reason why.
Do you guys want to fuck with Austin?
Oh, yeah.
When he gets back, I'll do a different outro for QTTV and just pretend like you fucking love it.
Okay.
Okay.
But in any case, in any case, this is why it's really important because there's no other way that you can advocate for your own, for your own work conditions outside of collective bargaining.
And the only way you can do that is through unionization.
Okay.
So essentially, the whole walkout falls apart.
Like they give up.
All the girls, Jada was another one of the main girls.
She, she gives up.
Everyone just gives up and they just take it and they just do the season.
And you.
Well, no, no, no.
Well, so the cowboys don't go to like had a bad season last year.
They had a real bad season.
So it's kind of a bad season.
There's also other subplots of bad things that happen, which we can touch on on the Patreon.
But the biggest thing is you should know at the end of the DCC season, you have to let Kelly and Judy know if you're trying out next year by coming in and turning in your uniform.
You can either put your uniform on, yes, I'm trying out or no, I'm not trying out.
Okay.
So the girls go in and the girls that have only done it one year, they're always saying yes because their hips are still working.
The girls that have been there four years, they're like, oh, sometimes they'll be like, I got one more year, you know, and it's like, yeah, but then the other girls, like, they're like sobbing because it's been six years and they're like, I have to have surgery.
One girl came in on crutches because she just had a hip replacement.
Oh my God.
And she's like, I will not be trying out.
Like, you know, and so, so then Amanda comes in, who's only done it three years.
So she should be trying out.
And she sits down with them and she's like, honestly, like, I finished my solo.
I'm ready for my tryout in however many months.
But I realized that ever since we had that conversation about pay, I was treated differently.
And I just like, I hate how I feel when I'm here and I don't feel valued anymore.
And I feel like I'm a problem.
And so no, I'm not going to try out.
She should have, she should have went back in for it.
They iced her.
They iced her and they separated her.
And it's now a warning for everyone else that would probably try to unionize.
It's like they used her as an example.
Yeah.
So then she feels awful.
She says, no, she's not trying out.
And also what happens after that, they have an end of year banquet.
So everyone's ever said yes or no.
So they go to the end of year banquet.
Amanda doesn't go, I believe.
I could be wrong on that.
Some of the girls don't go because the vibes are weird.
Like Katiana doesn't go because that's another story.
But at the end of the year banquet, they announce a raise.
No.
They announce a raise.
How much?
So they say it was by 400%.
400%?
God damn, they were so criminally underpaid.
Wait, what's 500 times 400%?
Well, apparently.
They didn't give 5 times 400.
So they say they make $75 an hour now.
But I will say one of the girls like commented on TikTok because someone was like, oh, so are they like, they making 70K a year or something like that?
And she's like, I wish I was making 70K a year.
So I think it's still, I think it was maybe exaggerated on Netflix.
We're not sure.
And maybe their contracts got remarked, but they can't talk about pay.
We're not sure.
They should be getting at least five grand.
They don't have health care either.
We know that.
Healthcare?
No, healthcare.
But those hips are exploding.
Yeah.
But, and that was a weird thing.
So when none of them wanted to sign their contracts, the DCC was like, well, you don't have to sign a contract if you show up to practice.
That's you accepting, essentially, which was weird.
So anyway, but so they all got a raise, which is crazy because Amanda, who is the main one that got iced out, she's not going to get the raise because they treated her fucking weird.
And so she's not trying out again.
And so I'm sad for Amanda.
Even the mere threat of unionization.
Hey, Amanda, do you want to come on the pod?
Amanda, do you want to come on the pod?
Yeah, we'll reach out to her.
Amando, you deserved better.
But that is it.
Here are the three options.
For the girlies that are listening, for the girlies that are listening, the three options for nationally recognized labor unions that you can contact are Unite Here, American Guild of Variety Artists, and the SEIU's Allied Entertainment and Multi-Services Division.
You can also contact, and as I suggested earlier, the NFL Players Association as well, which represents the NFL players, but might be a helpful starting point for navigating a relationship with the league.
You need a lot of coordination.
It's a difficult endeavor.
I really love the segment, but I've been working on some little cutie TV.
It's what you're watching.
I love that.
Oh, wow.
So much better.
That's good.
Why aren't you clapping?
That was so good.
I fundamentally disagree.
I think that I think we really had a winner at the beginning of the episode.
I really do.
I thought we were.
I really thought we were all on the same page.
But it sounded different than girly pop.
Yours was really close to girly pop theme song, and it's kind of different.
Well, but hold on, but let me TV is different than girly pops.
You are cutie.
I know girly pops different, but you are cutie.
It's a different tune in the same genre.
Are you putting women in a box?
Wait, no, I'm putting you.
Why can't we?
Okay, I vote for Will's.
Wow.
I'm unionizing.
Oh.
Let me try it one more time.
Cutie, a cutie, a cutie, a cutie TV.
Come on, huh?
It's a hit.
I'm telling you.
It's a hit.
The people in the chat are going to be singing it.
Yeah.
They're going to be singing it.
It's going to be stuck in their head.
Austin should have been like a marketing jingle man in the field.
Fabulous Bulge Reveal00:01:08
I'm telling you.
You were on fire this episode.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Cutie, that was a fabulous segment.
Fabulous.
Fabulous segment.
Great job.
Just say you guys need me.
Is that what you need to do?
Yeah.
Of course we need you.
I do have a few more subplots that we'll touch in the Patreon.
Perfect.
All right.
We'll get to that in the Patreon.
Thank you, everybody, for watching, and we'll see you on the other side behind the paywall.
Go to patreon.com slash fear and well, I didn't go deep into it because I was like, yes, let me guess.
