Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Just for Kicks,
broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the Star
in Frisco. Now your hosts Judy Trammel, Hayley Anderson, and

(00:26):
Kelly finn Glass. Hi everybody, it's Kelly finn Glass and
Judy Trammel, and today we are joined by tests DCC
of four years, and we are so glad for everybody
to join us on Just for Kicks. It's really kind
of girl talk, but we think guys just might want

(00:48):
to listen. Hi, Jady, Hi Tess, Hey Kelly. I've never
been so excited. I know am so I really do
miss this. I miss our chaos, I really do. I
don't believe I'm saying that. Yeah, I can't either. I

(01:08):
don't know if chaos is what I miss, but I
definitely miss interaction between us, and I think that probably
means more to women. They say in all these studies
that women like to talk more and interact more. So
it's it's proof. I think I kind of hit a
low this weekend, and Judy, I know you were kind
of having a low last week how's everybody doing right now?

(01:28):
We are doing good. It's just it's just hard. You know,
my husband and I are both working from home, and
so you collide a little bit. We're trying to collide
a little bit. Yeah, he's publishing really loud. He's got
the old fashion. Oh it's really loud, Judy, I can't

(01:50):
believe you said that. Okay, In our third segment, we're
going to talk about what is driving us crazy. But
I cannot stand the notification alert and I hear texts
going off on Joel's stone. It's driving me crazy, he says.
He doesn't know how to change it. It's too loud.
It's just it's driving me crazy. That's so funny. But
we're gonna save all those those good bits of what's

(02:14):
driving us crazy for the third segment. What we want
to do today is we're gonna talk. We're gonna visit
with Tess, and then we're gonna find out what Tess
has been doing because she is in Louisiana. And then
when we come back, we'll talk, We'll find out what
Judy and I've been doing in our homes and in shelter.
And then finally, I want to do a round robin
with you guys and find out what you found, what

(02:35):
you've learned, and what's driving you crazy. So Tess, tell
us a little bit on a happy note. You had
your birthday yesterday at home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Yes, ma'am,
happy birthday. Thank you. I had a little bit of
anxiety about, you know, having a birthdays or in quarantine.

(02:56):
I'm blessed enough to be back at home. I'm surrounded
by my whole family. I have a sister who is
you know, doing online classes that I'll shoe you right now,
my brothers, and a senior in high school, so he
kind of you know, he had his last couple of
months of high school that he's having to do online now.
But you know, I never imagine that I would get

(03:18):
to spend this much time with him. You know, I'm
not only am I home. He's also home and has
a lot more free time. So I'm getting to see that.
But he's miss He's missing all his senior activities, like yes,
things like that. I know that'll end up, you know,
all the recognition of being a senior. That's that's sad.
But I think I think he's starting to realize there's

(03:40):
there's pros too and being home, and I know his
grades are going up, so I think he's the most
excited about that. Um so you've got a full your
parents have a full nest. Y'all are all that come
full house? Well, we've been following about that. I'm sure
I think as parents, as empty nesters, we've all been excited.

(04:01):
But I also know myself and even some of my
closest friends, we have all hit those moments where it's like, Okay,
it's time for you to go back to school. My
son has taken over my kitchen, so I can't. I'm
now in my bathroom. I'm quarantined. I'm sheltered within my
own home for my space. And you know, then there's

(04:22):
the extra laundry, and then there's the who's parking their car? Where?
Who gets who's clogging up the WiFi? Who gets the printer?
What are we watching on tv? It's it's all this
new strategy negotiation. I will say. The one thing that
we had common ground on this weekend, and I'm getting
off topic, but who cares is we all sat down

(04:43):
to watch that silly tiger Tiger King show. Yes, Oh
my gosh, but so things like that. I have enjoyed
watching TV with family, Tessum, We've been watching your Governor.
I know, Governor Edwards is I mean, you know, the
great people of Louisiana are going through so much and

(05:04):
have tell us a little bit about the mood in
general in Louisiana and how how that feels for you.
You know, we've spent since I originally was coming home
actually to judge our LSU dance teaing tryout. So I
had a trip plan to come home and that just

(05:27):
ended up getting extended. So I'm staying here. But we
haven't been in New Orleans. We've just kind of stayed.
We've stayed in Baton Rouge. We've gone out to the farm,
we've gone we've gone out on the boat to go
fishing and stuff. But other than other than that, we've
stayed in Baton Rouge. And I think we feel pretty isolated,
and I think it's we're being hit hard for sure.

(05:51):
So there's you know, there's definitely anxiety about that because
we're the only part of my family that's here in
Baton Eruge. Everyone else is in New Orleans and my
dad's parents are in New Orleans, and I know they're
being super, super careful, and of course they're older and
they're staying home. They're not they're not seeing anyone, and
they're not leaving it whatsoever. And I think, you know,

(06:11):
there's definitely a little bit of fear and a little
bit of you know, background anxiety with all that, as
I'm sure everyone's feeling. But we've been checking the news
updates every day and it's it's definitely scary to see
the numbers in Louisiana and just how it's compared everywhere

(06:31):
else com here to other parts of the country. It's
definitely scary, but you've been trying to keep upbeat, and
you know, yesterday it almost felt like we weren't in
quarantine because we had a little birthday party my parents know.
You know how much I miss Dallas right now. And
one of my favorite things about Dallas is is the

(06:53):
brunch scene that is not as popular here. That's a
huge thing in Dallas. So they surprised me and I
couldn't come out of my room. I can come downstairs
until around noon. They had set up this entire so
I kind of felt I felt like a princess up here.
You know, as you said, Kelly, quarantine in my own home.
I was up here in the tower until I came

(07:14):
down at Moon and they had set up a whole
brunch spread. It was really sweet and feel really loved. It's,
you know, the first time in about four years that
I got to spend my birthday with my family and
my whole family members, and it was really special and
it was really uplifting. What types of food I'm sorry
to interrupt you test it's technology, not intent. What types

(07:35):
of food does one have at a baton rouge brunch? Yes,
it was a Cajun brunch for sure. We had my mom. Well,
my dad has been catching my dad and my brother,
my sister's boyfriend to be going out and catching profits
live profish. They've been catching themselves, so you know, they

(07:57):
don't even have to interact with anyone. They're going out
to catch their own food. And they have had great success,
probably because they have so much time to go out
there and spin. But we had about ninety pounds of crawfish,
so holy did we have a crawfish boil. But my
mom is starting to get super creative with ways to

(08:18):
incorporate crawfish into every meal. Including brunch, so we had
some prawfish pies. We of course, yeah, we had you know,
avocado toast with some eggs and everything. And then for dinners,
who did a big, big seafood pasta seafood pasta sauce

(08:40):
which included redfish that we had caught and crawfish that
we had caught. It it really it's starting to feel
like we're living off the land out here for sure.
But I was not lacking in great food. That's fishing well.
I'm a little jealous. I'm definitely not living off the land.
I'm living off cans and frozen up. Hey, Judy. By

(09:01):
the way, though, I did use for the first time
ever an insta pot, and yes, and Ryan and I
made a pot roast with fresh onions and carrots and potatoes.
And what would have taken you know, four hours on
slow or eight hours I'm sorry, four hours on high
on a crop pot or four hours lay slow. It

(09:23):
took one hour. It was cool, it was I thought. So, yeah,
we did have a minor explosion. We did. Ryan got
impatient and didn't do the slow version of deep pressure eyes.
He did the quick release, and the quick release we
didn't have I didn't have the plastic cap on top
of the steam thing and it shot up like a volcano.

(09:46):
In my entire I have actually a little chandelier. I
know that sounds kind of food food, but it's it's
not fancy. But I have a lighting fixture in my
kitchen and just it just bles team all the way
up on every light bulb. Well, Tess, I'm you're with
your family. I know we saw your one of your
videos that you were with horses. Yes, So here we

(10:07):
have we have a little bit of land. I guess
what you would call a ranch. It's like a ranch
with some marshland out here. And we have fourteen ponies
out there. My grandfather used to breed race horses and
train racehorses out there. So some of them are retired
race horses. Some of them are birthday pony horses. It's

(10:29):
just kind of, you know, a place for them to
be and after they've retired. Now, and did you say
a birthday pony, Yes, a birthday to see a pony
that used to do birthday rides, you know, at a
birthday party. Pony, she's retired, she's over there. How much

(10:50):
do you get for a birthday pony? I might could
start jobbing sugar out for birthday parties. She would be
a sleep. Nobody would call any for her. Yeah, but
you know, therapy horse and that's amazing. Which is there
any horse that is specifically yours? Like this is my

(11:13):
horse and I named it and I was there, you know,
it was born kind of thing. Um. There is one horse.
Her name is Tessa's Christmas. Um. She was a race horse.
It had to do with you know, her parents. Her
father's name was something with Christmas and she became testas Christmas.
She was a winner. Um so, but she's tall and

(11:36):
fast and scary to ride. So I haven't ridden yet
since I've been home. You know, most of them haven't
been ben me in a long time. But I think
just being out there and being around them, it's it's
super therapeutic and to feel like you know you're you're
doing something for them because you have the time, and
you know, I'll spend all day out there with just

(11:57):
one of them, and you don't. You don't have that.
So that's been really rewarding for me, just to be
out there. Do you ride your horses with a saddle
or do you ride a bare back? Oh, saddle. I
can ride on a saddle I wish, I mean, maybe
I should. I could. I could get in shape, getting

(12:18):
get my legs in shade riding bareback. But I can
ride an English saddle on a Western saddle. I used
to compete with an English saddle that's you know, jumping,
and I had the chaps and everything. That's when I
was super young. But I think I prefer Western. You
have the horn. It's a little bit easier for sure.
I know y'all won't believe this, but I actually have
ridden a horse bareback. But that was just in a

(12:42):
a small space in Lindelle, and then I had to
be cool and Lindelle you had to go and trail ride,
so I had to. But now that was with a
saddle and a horn, and I hung onto that saddle
horn like my line depended on it. Because I love horses,
but they scare me they're so big. But I did
what I had to do to fit in um Tess.

(13:03):
I did see Coach O's message about how to sneeze
and how to cough, and I've actually remembered that and
reminded people in my household how they're supposed to sneeze
and cough properly. But um, how's LSU. I know Coacho's responding,
but um, is there anything in particular that LSU's kind
of bringing to the to the support on this. Um.

(13:29):
You know, I still I still get the emails from LSU.
UM just kind of like what they're doing. As far
as the sports department has been doing things similar to us,
sending out workout videos and and trying just to keep
up keep up the morale. I know Joe Burrow recently
tweeted about how they miss out their pro day and

(13:50):
you know things that they're they're missing that they're missing
right now. Um, this is in their athletic career. But UM,
you know, if this would have happened at any other point,
it really would have affected, of course the football season
and the season and the opportunities that a lot of
these players are going are going to get going forward.

(14:10):
So although I'm sure it's hard for them, they had
a great season and I know as far as football goes,
with the draft coming up, I know we have a
lot of great prospects and I'm sure they're just as excited,
even though it's got to feel weird missing all these
senior things and things they were preparing for. But yeah,

(14:33):
we're all we're all facing it together. Do you know
the players, since the direct is going to be virtual,
maybe there's a small silver lining and that they will
all be at their home with their family. I thought
about that too and get those phone calls with family members.
So yeah, sometimes I think it might be the way

(14:54):
you approach it. Well, we're glad to get to visit
with tests, and I know I know you've enjoyed getting
to stay connected with your teammates through Zoom and workouts
and group messages and things like that. How about we
take a break and when we come back, we'll talk
a little bit about what Kelly and Judy have been

for Kicks. We're back here at Just for Kicks. I'm

(17:36):
Kelly fan Glass and I'm joined by Judy Trammel and
DCC Tests, and we thought would just kind of kick
around a little bit what Kelly and Judy have been
doing during this time of shelter and quarantine. So Judy's
what's been keeping you busy? I got a Windex bottle
and paper towels, and I think I wiped every window

(17:57):
in my house because if Ikey, if I can't see
out the window and I'll have anything to do, and
I want to be able to have a clear view
of the neighborhood. And what else have I done. I've
cleaned out four drawers. I haven't done as well as
you yet, but I've started. I've done all the drawers
in my closet. I feel good about that I have.

(18:20):
I'm not learning any new recipes, but I have learned
to go to Sam's and buy pre prepared meals that
I can just degree for my say, welcome to the
club stocking, to the club of pre prepared meals. Stuff, peppers, chicken, parmesan.

(18:41):
I'm gonna claim it all as mine, though I should
take pictures and post it and say look what I
cook tonight. Well, absolutely, that's the whole name of the game. No, no,
No working woman in a right mind admits you've got
to go hide those foiled pans and the packages and
call it. I don't have any crawfish tests. And I

(19:04):
saw your video of you pulling off the heads, and
good job that happen over here in the trammelhouse. I
thought I was quick, but I've had so much practice
now I can peel the crawfis faster than anything. Now,
one thing we've learned, one thing my husband and I
have learned is how to use the tragger. We smoked

(19:26):
steaks last night. We've smoked pork chops, we've smoked pork roast,
and that's been really fun because it's just a it's
a different way to cook. It's simple, and I really
liked that. A friend of mine got a smoker that's
actually you you plug it in. It's electric, and it's
got little bitty wood chips, not the big pellet. Is

(19:48):
that what you have? They look like the little rabbit pellets. Yes, yes,
So how long would you do a steak on your smoker? Okay,
it's a reverse here. I've cut this down. You do
it really low for an hour, and then you turn
it up to four fifty or five hundred and you
sear it with butter and spices on it for four

(20:09):
to five minutes on each side. And they came out perfect.
So it took about an hour and twenty minutes altogether.
Now a roast we do usually all day, and now
you're home to kind of babysit it. That's the difference. Yeah. Yeah,
And we don't have grandkids that are making you not
think about it, like we can actually focus on it,

(20:30):
right and you're making me starving right now thinking about it.
It's really good. If you don't have a smoker, that's
probably a good investment. Ryan would love it. I've been
telling I wanted him to go look at a smoker
with me, but we're we've been doing steaks on cast
iron skillet and he's like really good at it. He's

(20:52):
really gotten good at it. So I'm given up on that.
I'm gonna let that be his territory. My grill is
broken and I've been waiting for repairman to fix it
since six months ago. Um, so that's that's out of
commission right now. And then, like I told you, I
tried my first insta pot and a pot rose, so
that part's good. I have been um cooking a little

(21:16):
a little, but I've been still cleaning. You know, I
like to clean. I like to organize. So, Judy, I've
got some pictures that I sent you. I don't know
if you've seen them yet, but you know how I'm
always losing and stealing your reading glasses. Yes, well, guess
what in my clean out I have? And this is

(21:37):
not even a deep clean. This is just a basic
around the house and in the purses. I have twenty
three pair of reading glasses. Yes, yes, I probably twenty
three pair reading glasses. And my favorite is that new LED.

(21:57):
I'm telling you what, I don't know what we were
doing before these LED reading glasses. They are great when
you have to look at packages and things in the dark.
Fashion Wise, my favorite are my peepers. But I have
a huge collection of reading glasses. So's. But although GD
have got a new strategy and tests, this won't mean
anything to you until years from now. But you know
how you're always going around the house and you can't

(22:19):
find your reading glasses. Well now I'm putting them. I'm
putting where I need them. So like I have a
pair of rereading glasses sitting on top of my thermostat
in my house, and I have a pair of breading
glasses sitting near the clock. And I mean I'm now
I have strategically located reading glasses all over my house
because I'm tired of chase him. Hey, I found a

(22:42):
letter from George W. Bush from two thousand and seven,
and he wrote us a thank you letter for the
cheerleaders visiting Kauwait and Iraq on USO tour and I
mean it is on White House stationary. It was so yeah,
I've got it. I'll send you. I don't know if
our technology is alliance test that I could year that

(23:04):
two thousand and seven and then I'd have been on
that tour to Kuwait. Were you I did too with
as staff. I thought, I thought, well you may see it.
And then speaking of tours, I found the coolest thing, y'all.
And I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna explain this the

(23:26):
best way I can. I found a certificate that was
given to us in nineteen eighty six, and look at this.
I can't find my reading glasses. Okay, here from my LEDs.
It's from the realm of the Arctic Circle, and the
Navy acknowledges there there service members when they cross lines,

(23:49):
it's lying crossing ceremonies, like if they crossed the equator
or cross into the Arctic Circle. And we happened to
be going into Greenland. We were in two Greenland, which
is the northernmost part of the world, and we actually
were flying with the Air Force, and they they do
a thing called a blue Nose ceremony and you're it's

(24:13):
a fraternity of sorts where you paint your nose blue
when you have officially crossed the Arctic Circle. And I
found our certificate and I found our pictures where it start.
We got our nose painted blue in the middle of
the air as we crossed the Arctic Circle by this
squadron that we were flying with. And then we thought, well, shucks,

(24:36):
let's just do the show. Should we take it off
or do our show this way? And we opened the
show in our Dallas Cowboys cheerleader's uniform with a paint
at the entire troop with a painted blue nose. It
was so funny. I had forgotten about it. But when
I started doing my research on how few people have

(24:57):
really we crossed the Arctic Circle when we were going
from Iceland to Greenland. But when I realized how few
people have done that in the world, and what a
small fraternity of sorts of people that can say they
they are a part of the realm of the Arctic
Circle or a part of the Knights of the Blue Nose,
I was. I was pretty excited. And it's you can

(25:17):
look it up on Google. It's it's it's there. It's real.
So that's um, I know, I don't believe y'all did
a show with the Yeah we did. Can you believe you?
You probably well, yeah you would have. You would have
doe if everyone else had did now and we questioned it. Um,
but you can see the picture where we're getting our
noses painted by the squadron, and then we did the

(25:41):
show and they went crazy when we came out with
blue noses. It was fun. It was fun. And then, um,
my last find, one of my favorite finds is I
found a beautiful little picture that Samantha had drawn on
her first day of kindergarten and it was very colorful
and she was right inside the lines which her kindergarten teacher,
mister Krill, had told me about her as a student.

(26:04):
And it made me send a message to mister Krill,
my daughter and my son's kindergarten teacher, about how how
much he has meant to us and our lives. And
you know, if I can use just this second to
give a shout out to teachers. I don't know if
teachers realize how much how much they mean to the

(26:25):
parents as well, and how much they they affect not
only the children that they teach, but their parents, and
so you know, we have cheerleaders that are teachers, And
now I know there are so many parents that are
doing school at home, and I just I don't I
have such I always have had such respect for teachers,
and I just wish we were able to tell them

(26:46):
that more because here I am, gosh, how many years
would that have been? Sixteen years later and I'm just
cherishing the things and the teacher that was my child's
first impression and first introduction into education. So big cheers
to teachers. I know Taylor's doing online classes with her

(27:07):
kids right now. I have a lot of friends that
their teachers, and they're they're really kind of breaking down emotionally.
They miss their kids. And that means so much to
me as a parent that our children mean that much
to teachers, right and they are having to go over
time to do these lessons. You've change your whole way
of thinking, change your lesson plans, and doing it an

(27:29):
online and that's hard to not have that interaction with
the kids. But is really handling all the kid how
she I mean, she's always been great at staying calm
under pressure, but these are extraordinary circumstances. They are, and
she's I think she's just now starting to wish they
could go away. I know that I saw that she

(27:51):
posted something about grandmothers. All of you grandmothers that are
griping that you can't see your grandkids, will give them
to you for a month when this is over. Don't
really want them for a month, but I do want
to see him. It's Cassie about to release her quick
valve on her own insta pot. She is. Actually, they
rented a cabin in Oklahoma, broken Bow, and they left

(28:14):
today but when they got in their car, their car
wouldn't start and they had to switch cars figures. But
they are taking a little trip, just the four of them,
to get away from it all because they've been really
working hard on the homeschooling and trying to do projects
and crafting and coins. Colin is the one that got
us into the smoker, so he cooks constantly, and everybody

(28:38):
I knew Colin did the smoker. But you have a
smoker at your house too, now, yes, that's he's been
giving us lessons. I mean, you're a smoker. But I'll
I'm going to figure out this insta pot thing first, Tess,
have you since you're back at home, have you like
rediscovered your childhood bedroom or found things that you're like,

(28:58):
like you'd forgot. Oh my gosh, I'm back in my room.
You know, I've the room that I went to high
school in, and it's kind of it's kind of a
weird feeling. But I'm also with my sister and my brother,
and I'm starting to feel starting to feel like a kid.
I have to watch I have to watch what I

(29:20):
say when I come downstairs because sometimes I'm singing or
I'm talking loud and rhet My brother is downstairs in
a class in school and will give me a look
and they can hear me singing in the background. Just
you know, just little adjustments that we're making kind of
with all of us here. And my sister's studying interior design.
She's been working on a lot of projects too, so

(29:42):
kind of getting into a routine with everyone going to
school still from home. And I have so much respect for,
you know, the parents who have young kids, and it's
keeping them in their own classroom and keeping their participation
up in each in separate rooms and everything. It's crazy.
But we're also I mean so blessed with the technology

(30:04):
that we have. I know you were talking about what
we've been doing as a team. I know tomorrow night
we have We've been keeping up our Bible study, UM okay,
listening listening to a fear and anxiety kind of series
that we're going through, um and kind of you know,
we'll listen to it during the week. Then we meet

(30:25):
up on Tuesday on Zoom and kind of talk through
you know, what we notes we've taken or you know,
feelings we have about that. And that's been something I've
I've been looking looking forward to each week. You know,
it's something to listen to reflect on during the week
and then come together and it's it's a chance to
catch up with everyone, get a little mental check on everyone.
That's been really nice. Did you do Aeron's online pilates class?

(30:49):
I remember it was that fund good. It looked like
everybody was enjoying it and sweating, and it was so
fun to get together. You can only the screen was
set so I could only see erin, but then when
I clicked out of us to see all thirty two
of us kind of lifting weights and doing the same motion.

(31:11):
It's just hilarious but so much fun. Everyone was concentrating
and focusing. No one's looking at each other, but to
see everyone doing the same thing on little screens is fun.
That is funny. On our online prep class, when you're
talking about somebody walking in the room, one of the
girls didn't have her mute button on and I had
to call her out because she was somebody in the

(31:31):
room was talking about things they shouldn't been talking about,
and to say so and so you need to mute
your phone. Oh that's hysterical. I heard Ryan was doing
an online class and I heard this man's voice and
it was his professor, and I thought, is he just
talking to Ryan ors we're doing a whole class. And
he was asking him about how'd you pay for college

(31:53):
and financing and all these very specifics about well, you know,
scholarship or my parents. And then I realized it was
Ryan's finance professor and it was a one on one
for extra credit. And I went in the background and
said hi, oh, yes I did. I couldn't help it,
and I said thank you for teaching him this, because
they were he was teaching him about how much college

(32:14):
really costs and you know, how much parents really pay.
And I was like, thank you for teaching him this,
and I got the biggest kick under the table. Ryan
was dying, but I was really impressed that he was
on a one on one with a college professor and
it was cool. It's really cool. Okay, Well, how about
we take a break and when we come back, let's

(32:35):
do a round robin of what we've learned that we
kind of or what's annoyed us or what's enlightened us.
Just kind of a round robin of filling the blank.
This is what I've learned while I'm sheltered. When we
come back, eh. Since eighteen sixty five, Stetson hats are

doctor Pepper, so nice to treat you. Back back to
Just for Kicks. We're back here on Just for Kicks,
and I am joined by Judy Trammell and DCC Tests.

(35:04):
And what we thought we'd do now is just kind
of a quick round robin of what we've learned, what
we like, what we don't like, just what this sheltering
has caused us to in our awareness. So Judy, I'm
gonna start, and then you and Test you'll just kind
of keep it rolling. I know one thing, and today's
the first day I've had it on. But I hate makeup.
I love not having makeup. I can't put makeup on anymore.

(35:27):
It just looks foreign, it doesn't go on the same.
And Test probably hasn't had to put any on because
she's still got young skin. Oh no, I had trouble
putting on these lashes today though it's been a while,
but lashes on a webcam can go a long way.
Speaking of lashes, y'all, I did it again. Oops, I

(35:48):
did it again. I'm gonna have to do another song.
I ordered off Amazon ordered magnetic lashes. So maybe we'll
try Yes, I did. Maybe we'll try that next week.
Let's see. The next thing I put was photos make
me cry. I have just really delayed my cleaning out
on every picture just makes me cry when y'all look

(36:09):
at old photos. Are y'all finding those? I haven't gone
through photos yet, but I have went to the attic
and brought down Easter decorations because that's important to me
and it makes me happy, and it really made me
sad to putting. My house is full of bunnies, bunny

(36:30):
pictures of your happy little Yeah, Easter tables, I know,
tables or you're specially beautiful it or not, it's okay.
It makes me happy. And I know that. I've FaceTime
my grandkids and they every time I FaceTime on they
asked me to walk through the house and show me
the bunnies. See that makes it worth it alone? Yeah,

(36:54):
I am. I Also in cleaning out, I've been had
the pleasure of going through mail and I think junk
mail should be illegal. I am so tired of the
packages of cupons and the promo's card. I mean, it
just clutters my mailbox. I think junk mail should be illegal.
It should, but I'm really fast about cleaning it out.

(37:14):
And I bring in a stack of mail and I
can go through that junk. I don't look at it,
put it in the trash. Well, I'm not to waste
if I was just opening up Christmas cards. In fact,
I opened about Kelly. I promise you here's former DCC
Danny Kilmer's Christmas card. I've opened no college graduate. Oh yeah, yeah,

(37:37):
Let's see what else did that? We talked about the
wine bottles in the boots. I've almost got a full
collection of my closet. Now my boots are all standing
up pretty with wine bottles. Guess what, here's a positive. Fingernails.
No fingernails are easier to type with. Have y'all noticed
that mine are still hanging I still are hanging on mine?

(37:58):
Not mine are pretty good. I'm excited. This was funny
when I wrote it, but it's not funny anymore. I said,
gray hair makes you look old, duh. And then I've
got a kid yet have you. No, I'm not, but
you know, Oh here's here's something you know Kelly would

(38:19):
never do. I watched a blow dry video the other
day to see how to blow out a bank. So
if you if you're wow, Kelly's banks look kilt rocking,
it's because I watched him a tutorials. The first time
I've seen you without the squirrel and thros. We're gonna
have a special appearance next week. We're having a special

(38:43):
appearance of my wiglet collection. Because I'm not reading glasses,
I am found an assortment in my house. Well, I
went online to order one because I thought maybe maybe
I'll try it. But there's big ones and small ones.
Which do you get? Well, that's a loaded question there, Judy.

(39:07):
I like the larger ones. That's the one I used
to buy from Alta, And I think I told you this.
They got rid of my color. They had blonde, and
they had a dark brown and a gray, but they
got rid of my chestnut slash auburn. So then when
I went online to order them, the color choice I
had was donkey brown, and I didn't like donkey brown

(39:31):
in the bigger, fluffier ones, so I got some smaller ones.
But to answer your question is I haven't found I
don't like the little ones. But actually there's a trick.
You can stack them. You can do two littles an
equal one. But it's a good up, dude, during quarantine.
I'm telling you, it's okay. Then next week you're gonna
have to bring your collection, but you're gonna have to

(39:52):
put them on. Okay, show us and how they work
with none one or two. Okay, I'll take that shot challenge.
I'll take that challenge. You and test don't have that problem.
Y'all still have just this huge, fabulous locks of hair
and somehow no, but I have discovered if you're on video,

(40:12):
you only have to do the front. You don't even
have to worry about the back, like it's straight. I
didn't even touch it. Just worry about the front and
that's all anyone sees. And then it goes into ponytail
as soon as I click off, and I love you
with your ponytail up due, it's okay. I'm gonna try
a squirrel at something like It's. I went to order

(40:35):
one and it said they are low on inventory. I
don't know how long it'll take my bot. I'm telling
you they're a hot eye. I'm on Instagram, and I
don't like ordering on Instagram, so then I look at
the brand. I'm on a hunt for the one from
Alta in my color, but I refuse to buy a
donkey brown wiggle it on Instagram. So yes, we'll we'll

(40:59):
do a collection next week. Test. How about you? Have
you learned anything about yourself? Judy and I talked earlier
about the sounds of other people's phones. The rings on
other people's phones are driving me crazy. I think the
hardest part is getting dressed, to actually change my clothes

(41:24):
from what I was wearing two days before. What were
you acting it in the shower? No, I'm showering. But
I have found that I have a lot I have
a lot more time. And I found the collection of
books that I bought thinking I would read them at

(41:45):
some point. They were still in my room. They didn't
even make it to Dallas. But I started reading again.
And when you have so much time just to read
leisurely and read as much as you want, that has
been just a highlight for me. I'm reading a book.
It's called Five Presidents, and it's I don't know if
you have heard of it, but it's it's written by

(42:05):
Clinton Hill and he was in the Secret Service during
the term during five different presidents, and he was Actually
it's great. It's written from his perspective, and it starts
at the very beginning, you know of his life and
how he got into the Secret Service, and then he
was actually with Kennedy, with JFK during um his entire

(42:30):
term and then his assassination. He was there in the car.
So I haven't gotten to his part yet, but it's fascinating.
And I didn't think i'd i'd be one to like
non fiction books, but it's been. I've been enjoying it.
That's this isn't that's great? So finding old book by
presidents five presidents yep. Wow, Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson,

(42:56):
Richard Nixon, and Joe Ford. Wow, it is crazy. I'll
send you. Speaking of presidents, I'll send you guys. The
letter that I found from George W. Was it was
super cool, really really cool. It's beautiful. Well, Um, Judy,
did we have any questions for tests from our be

(43:20):
say goodbye? Do we? We? Sure do? Um? And I
know that one of them was tests. What is your
favorite memory so far as a DCC. Okay, I think
everyone is probably going to say this, but especially from
this past season, my favorite memory is dancing with Queen.

(43:41):
I mean that was overall an unbelievable experience. Um, just
from the beginning, from when I'll never forget Kelly announcing
it on the field after practice. We had no idea
where she was going with this announcement, what she was
possibly telling us in the summer, and she was giddy,
I mean she was bouncing. She was so excited, like,

(44:02):
couldn't you go to back any longer? But then, oh man,
that was great and it was such a full circle
for me, just because my family has listened and love
to love to follow Queen since um, I mean since
I was since I started dancing. We've always loved Queen
and had a special connection with them their music. So

(44:22):
that was that was unbelievable. I remember test you saying,
you're dad. When he drove y'all to school, he played
Queen music and maybe maybe it was his truck, but
you said, that's what y'all listened to going to school.
He had an alert on his truck radio that if
Queen came on any station, it would say, Queen is
playing on this station, he could switch. Oh yeah, Oh,

(44:46):
I wonder if he'd be embarrassed that I said that.
But okay, hey, we've all embarrassed our whole households on
this podcast it. Do you want to know my most
embarrassing moment of my dad driving us to school and
most yeah, I think it was cool, but it was
so embarrassing to me. He owned a Honda shop growing up,

(45:06):
and he brought home a sidecar once and he put
my brother Jimmy on the back of his motorcycle and
Jan and I in the sidecar and drink. I went
to school and I died. I laid down on the
floorboard of that side car so nobody would see me.
I don't know. Anything like that embarrassed me because deep

(45:26):
in your CORGI that people don't realize you really don't
like attention to you, and so that puts you in
a very uncomfortable it's horrible place that he probably hunked
the horn too. I don't know. Goh, that's good to
find photos of that. If there isn'ty, it would be slides,

(45:48):
But I'd have to ask my mom if she could
find the slides. Test the other. The second other biggest
question people are asking you, okay, is are you auditioning again? Okay?
I guess I can make an official announcement that yeah,
oh are we not supposed to you? Oh? I don't know,
too late, asked too late, cats out the bad. I

(46:11):
am auditioning for my fifth season with the Cowboys, So
I know it's going to be definitely a different experience
after four years of kind of knowing what to expect.
It's kind of you know, we'll take it day by day,
week by week, month by month really and see how
you know, how final rounds of auditions will go. But

(46:32):
I'm excited for a little bit of a change test.
If you were, let's see twenty seven twenty three ish
tests and trying out for your first year post Golden Girls,
what would you have thought about submitting online? Because this
is a whole new world for all of us. What
do you think that does to the mindset of the

(46:57):
people that are wanting to try out this year? You know,
I think there's two types of people, and some would
much prefer to be able to perfect a video and
submit it and have the time be able to do
it on your own. Um. I think for me, just
initial answer when you're asking that is I still think

(47:20):
the nerves and just the energy of being live, would
would probably I would probably prefer as a performer. You know,
you feed off of the judges and the crowd and
just the atmosphere, and I think I energize perform, yeah, right,
you know you pull from that, and that's what we're
used to performing versus just recording yourself. But I see,

(47:44):
I see the pros and cons. You can't mess up
if you can redo it and perfect it. And I'm
not sure what I would prefer. I I initially I
would say live, but because you're able to crowd. Yeah,
you feed off of people, right, but you're also coming

(48:05):
from huge LSU Golden Girls just such a big, large
stage anyway, and some people maybe I know. When we
asked Lexi this last week, she said she would have
loved it. So hopefully we'll be able to turn it
into a positive. I think we will have more people
submit audition videos this way. We're working on the technology

(48:27):
to make this happen, and our plans are to open
up those online submissions on May second. And we've been
having the online prep classes so far and had lots
of people on those in it, and at the beginning
of it, we opened it up with a question and
answer session and I think that's been really helpful for
the candidates to hear what we're expecting, and it's been

(48:53):
it's been fun and interesting. Those are last questions for
seven are Judy. Sorry, Friday nights at seven, go on
our website and you can it'll show how to sign
up for prep classes. How about a last question Judy
for Tests and then we'll call this a rap. Sorry,
I don't okay, no more, nope, okay, Well then in

(49:18):
that case, y'all, it's been great. We finally got to visit.
It took us a while to get all of our
technology together, but you know, I'm sure people do realize,
but we're not normally we Judy, Kelly and Tests are
professional broadcasters, so we really don't know what we're doing.
But we are in three very different parts of the

(49:40):
region right now, and we're all working from phones and
computers and WiFi and cables and other phones and all
the stuff. So we're doing the best we can. But
we hope everybody enjoyed just for kicks today and we
will see everybody back here next week. Thank you Judy,
thank you Tess, thank thank you so much for having me.
It's really right in my day. A good oh good

(50:01):
birthday present, too good, Happy birthday. Thank you. This has
been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
