Speaker 1: And skin Show ninety seven point one The Eagle coming
Speaker 1: up at the bottom of the hour. Is your favorite
Speaker 1: band playing the State Fair this year? We'll give you
Speaker 1: all the details, but right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2: And now it's time for Bass week Day Up Day,
Speaker 2: featuring veteran news anchor kt fon tweets. Here are the
Speaker 2: important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.
Speaker 1: All Right, the Cherry Jones is gonna have to reach
Speaker 1: into his pocket a little bit here because we're finding
Speaker 1: out that the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are about to get
Speaker 1: a huge pay raise. The reason I wanted to do
Speaker 1: this story is because I wanted you guys to guess
Speaker 1: how what they make now, oh dude, and what they
Speaker 1: will be making after this pay raise. Now they were
Speaker 1: outed in a couple Was it a documentary about this?
Speaker 1: Now they've got a big Netflix show that's kind of popular.
Speaker 1: Now didn't have the.
Speaker 3: Reality show that is the many years? I have a question.
Speaker 1: Is the reality show that was on the Nashville Network
Speaker 1: different than the whatever happening on Netflix? I wish I
Speaker 1: knew dude, like for the longest time.
Speaker 3: And what's your name?
Speaker 1: Kelly? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kelly.
Speaker 1: She was like on it and it was it was
Speaker 1: it was whatever that country music TV station is, and
Speaker 1: it was on there forever. Yeah, And so then I
Speaker 1: started seeing Netflix commercials and I didn't know if it
Speaker 1: was the same thing that moved over.
Speaker 4: It's it looks like the same thing, but I haven't
Speaker 4: watched it, so I don't know. Okay, I don't know
Speaker 4: for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, they were it was almost like you
Speaker 1: lose money being a Cowboys cheerleader.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well they've always had.
Speaker 5: That's always been kind of the thing, like the Cowboys
Speaker 5: organization will underpay you so you can have that star
Speaker 5: in your business card or the prestige of working there.
Speaker 5: That's always been a thing they do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if they used that with their players too,
Speaker 1: instead of making them the highest paid players their position
Speaker 1: every time, it would really pay off. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: really necessarily work that way. So the end iny of
Speaker 1: being a cheerleader, how do you.
Speaker 4: Know that.
Speaker 3: Got to guess higher lower?
Speaker 1: What their average annual salary of a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader was.
Speaker 1: This is reported in twenty twenty two. So I thought
Speaker 1: they just got paid on game day and it was
Speaker 1: like three hundred bucks or something.
Speaker 3: It is. I can I can back that.
Speaker 1: I can tell you, based on what they made per hour,
Speaker 1: what they would have made for a full year.
Speaker 5: Okay, so are we doing the full year. Yeah, let's
Speaker 5: say that they were making seven grand a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was okay, I was going to say five, twelve.
Speaker 3: Grand higher, oh, twenty five lower.
Speaker 1: Okay, twenty higher, twenty two higher, twenty three lower.
Speaker 5: Wait, that's impossible, twenty two five, twenty two five, Okay,
Speaker 5: there you go.
Speaker 3: Credit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like a part time not even a part
Speaker 4: time job.
Speaker 1: Even though they have an overall evaluation of nine billion dollars,
Speaker 1: they're paying the cheerleaders fifteen to twenty bucks an hour,
Speaker 1: or twenty two to five average gnually if you if
Speaker 1: you work a forty Yeah, so that's the thing. They're
Speaker 1: not working forty hour work weeks. They're getting paid hourly
Speaker 1: to show up at a sanit Dale train camps in
Speaker 1: small a couple times. Basically, fifteen an hour covers their gas.
Speaker 1: You gotta go to a car wash, yeah, Post Malone's
Speaker 1: going to be at Canes, right, you get to show
Speaker 1: up to that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And that's just a select few, and they're basically they're
Speaker 1: just leveraging that to hopefully marry a hedge fun guy
Speaker 1: that lives in Uptown. So basically this h finally is
Speaker 1: this is happening this year? Uh they're getting a four
Speaker 1: hundred percent pay raise. WHOA, So they're making one hundred
Speaker 1: dollars an hour, yes, which would be about seventy thousand, right,
Speaker 1: twenty two to five times four.
Speaker 3: If they work a forty hour work week, which none
Speaker 3: of them do. Would be none of them?
Speaker 1: Some do probably, right, how, I think there's stuff they whouse.
Speaker 1: They just go stand in front of the star with
Speaker 1: their pompom. Now there's some merch that's got to be handled.
Speaker 3: And I think they have appearances constantly.
Speaker 4: You need to watch that show because they show like
Speaker 4: how often they have to go work out, go over
Speaker 4: the dances.
Speaker 5: Like they have their own bus too. Let's just they're
Speaker 5: constantly getting bussed around to different things. Is it that
Speaker 5: same bush Lacewell used to hang out on. It was
Speaker 5: one we were on for some reason. Oh, we were
Speaker 5: on it at that MAVs fantasy camp thing.
Speaker 3: They rented it. Oh that's right. It was a good bus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so it was quite the fantasy most of
Speaker 1: the cheerleaders have full time or part time jobs in
Speaker 1: addition to the role with the Cowboys. Charlotte Jones has
Speaker 1: defended this cheerleader salary, pointing out the limited opportunities to
Speaker 1: dance professionally, especially for an NFL team. But now they are,
Speaker 1: you know, changing that and they're all going to get
Speaker 1: paid now, so pressure the Cowboys think about what we act, well,
Speaker 1: they were about what we were just talking about though,
Speaker 1: the availability of the work. You said most of them
Speaker 1: have full time jobs or part time jobs. So a
Speaker 1: full time job and they're getting how many hours for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, What does that have to do with the mall? Huh?
Speaker 1: They had to go to the mall?
Speaker 3: Okay, it's fantastic, all right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a story that I think I should
Speaker 1: probably care more about, but I don't. I need to
Speaker 1: watch the show. Yeah, there's no way I'm going to
Speaker 1: watch the show. I've watched it a few times. It's
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's pretty good. It's interesting to see all
Speaker 1: the stuff they have to go through. It's hard, it's
Speaker 1: very difficult.
Speaker 3: You watched it all, Christina.
Speaker 4: I haven't watched it all. Like Ben, just a few episodes,
Speaker 4: but seriously, they do a lot. Good for them.
Speaker 3: They dance horses. What fantasy Leo's come back to horses.
Speaker 4: I wonder how much the Rangers six shooters make. Oh
Speaker 4: that's nothing, sorry, oh free. I tried out for it
Speaker 4: and I was told how much they made, and I
Speaker 4: was like, now I'm good out.
Speaker 3: But you get to maybe one day meet Ray Davis.
Speaker 5: Yeah all right? Uh coming up next. In music news,
Speaker 5: the State Fair has announced their music lineup. We'll talk
Speaker 5: about it next
