00:06Daytona!
00:07Daytona!
00:09Daytona!
00:10Daytona!
00:10Daytona!
00:11Daytona!
00:11Look how happy they all are.
00:13It's cause I haven't broken their hearts yet.
00:15Only 16 can make mat
00:17at Daytona. That means compete.
00:19So one of them will not get to perform
00:21and they will just go as an alternate.
00:23Daytona!
00:25So like any good family dinner, this one will come
00:27with a side of trauma. But
00:29like my meemaw said,
00:31the best way to remove a bandaid
00:33is just rip it right off.
00:35Okay, okay.
00:37Alright y'all.
00:39I would like a few words.
00:41I'll go first.
00:42Even though this isn't the best team I've been on,
00:45it is the worst.
00:47It also feels the most like family.
00:49I love all of you.
00:51Even the ones I don't know yet.
00:53Right Mark?
00:54Seriously? I've been here since the beginning.
00:57Like before you in fact.
00:58Mark, let someone else talk.
01:00I actually have something.
01:01Actually I'd like to say a few words if you don't mind.
01:04I wrote it down just so I don't get emotional.
01:07Sally.
01:08Oh yes.
01:09You are the best thing
01:12that's happened.
01:15Nope. Nope.
01:16So what I would like to say.
01:19I just wanted to say that
01:21but you guys are not my biggest family.
01:23By far.
01:23But you are my biggest family
01:25that hasn't been on Dateline.
01:27Aww.
01:28When I say Courtney,
01:31you say what Courtney?
01:33What?
01:34Daytona!
01:35You did it!
01:36Daytona!
01:38Daytona!
01:50Daytona!
01:52I can't put it off any longer.
01:54I need to pick my team.
01:56Am I looking forward to it?
01:57No.
01:57I never am.
01:59Especially not with the team I've gotten incredibly close to.
02:02But Daytona is about winning.
02:04So I'd actually be doing them a disservice
02:06if I didn't put my best possible team on that map.
02:09That's why I got a lead with my head over my heart.
02:11Take a motion out of it.
02:12And they are athletes,
02:13so I know they're gonna understand.
02:16I don't understand.
02:17You told us that we were all making maps.
02:19You told us you never lie to us
02:20unless you were lying about that.
02:22Yeah.
02:22When I said it, it was true.
02:24Okay, but since then we have picked up more cheerleaders.
02:26Okay, but coach, I'm just spitballing here,
02:28but maybe one of the new cheerleaders shouldn't make the cut?
02:30Yeah, there's no way I'm giving up my spot to Jackass and the Boss.
02:33Oh my God, rude.
02:34We are one team.
02:36Who will be competing against each other as individuals.
02:40As a team.
02:44Ouch.
02:46Good morning.
02:46Welcome to day one of map tryouts.
02:48I will be judging on a point system.
02:50My first time around, I didn't make map.
02:52And now I'm 16 years older.
02:54Let's face it,
02:54there's not a lot of 40-somethings in college cheer,
02:56so I probably have about seven, maybe eight years left
02:59before things start to get sad.
03:02Nine.
03:03Everyone starts at zero.
03:05Now if that seems like a lot of pressure,
03:06it's because it is a lot of pressure.
03:08Yeah, well, you know what?
03:09Not for us.
03:10Nope.
03:11Because the OG buttons have decided to unionize.
03:13Yeah, we either all make map,
03:15or none of us do.
03:16We are a chain that cannot be broken.
03:19All I have to do is find the weakest link.
03:21I break that person, the chain falls apart.
03:24Unity is power.
03:26Buttons on three.
03:28Buttons!
03:28Buttons, I didn't, okay.
03:29I do have a working theory as to who that person might be.
03:33This is a shame, Steven.
03:35I just, you know, I figured, like, since you're the most senior cheerleader,
03:37you'd just be a shoo-in.
03:39Woo! I'm in!
03:40Good luck, guys.
03:41No!
03:42No!
03:43I mean, I'm sorry!
03:44That is such a marked move.
03:46No!
03:47Now I'm 37.
03:48Okay.
03:49Time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
03:52We will be starting the day with jumps.
03:54Seth here is going to be helping me keep score.
03:56I have a system.
03:57All right, let's start with Peaches.
03:59Come on, Peaches!
04:00I always wanted to go to Daytona.
04:02My sister went to Daytona, and she said the girls go wild there.
04:08I'll fit right in.
04:17Yeah, me in the back of my wagon!
04:21Okay.
04:22She's terrifying.
04:23All right, DeMarcus!
04:25All right, baby!
04:26Let's go!
04:26Let's go!
04:27That's my best friend!
04:28Back up, Mark.
04:29Gotcha!
04:31Hoo!
04:35Always, I'll let you.
04:37Always.
04:37Raw talent.
04:38Killed a bunch?
04:47Smile, dear.
04:49This is smile.
04:51Okay.
04:53Sally.
04:54Yeah!
04:54Sally!
04:55Sally!
04:56Sally!
04:57Sally!
04:58And obviously, I have a special place for Sally in my heart, which is the best.
05:01It's why I use my head.
05:04Woo!
05:05Sally!
05:06You got it!
05:11There she is.
05:13Woo!
05:13That's my girl Sally!
05:15Yeah!
05:16Yeah!
05:18Day one went pretty much as expected.
05:20There's nothing really sticking out.
05:21Strong disagree.
05:23Ooh, Seth!
05:24Don't ever lick a part of your body and then put it on my body.
05:26Yes, ma'am.
05:27Here you are.
05:28Baby, you know you don't have to eat all those, right?
05:30They sell just the sticks at the store.
05:31No, I know.
05:32I'm just stress eating.
05:34But I'll tell you what.
05:34If it's this stressful for me, I can't imagine how hard it is on these kids.
05:37Better they find out now than at Daytona.
05:39You remember that flyer I had that got the yips right after the toss?
05:42Completely forgot how to land.
05:43So she just like, flew up to space?
05:47No, there is still gravity.
05:48Of course.
05:49Right.
05:50Uh, baby?
05:52Why is popsicle Sally off to the side and not with the others?
05:55Wendy, you know that's not how this works.
05:57I love Sally, but you and I both know she's not my strongest cheerleader, yeah?
06:00We have partner stats tomorrow.
06:01She could prove me wrong.
06:02I mean, anything could happen.
06:03Crystal, yeah?
06:04Obvi.
06:04Okay.
06:05Well, I didn't want to have to do this, but I am ready to resort to threats.
06:09If this sweet angel does not make Matt, then all of this is off limits.
06:25All right, first up, Crystal and Kyle.
06:28Teddy, you spot?
06:28Come on.
06:29Come on, Crystal.
06:30Come on, Crystal.
06:31This is the first time I've ever had to, what did you call it, try on?
06:35Try out?
06:36Try out for Daytona.
06:39I'm feeling something unfamiliar.
06:42Is this nervousness?
06:44My mouth is so dry.
06:46There it is.
06:47There it is.
06:47Lock in.
06:48There we go.
06:49There we go.
06:50There it is.
06:51Oh!
06:53Yeah!
06:55Oh, wow.
06:56No.
06:57I was just thirsty.
07:00Crystal's liquid water.
07:03Marvin and Peaches.
07:05All right.
07:06Are you serious?
07:06I'm not doing a stunt with the masked virgin.
07:09Peaches, let's just give it a go, honey.
07:10Come on, Peaches.
07:11Come on, Peaches.
07:12Give them hell, Peaches.
07:13There it is.
07:13Got her.
07:14Come on, Peach.
07:17There it is.
07:18There it is.
07:20All right.
07:21She's gone and stole my heart.
07:22Let's go!
07:23Let's go!
07:25Next up, Hilda Bang and Mark.
07:28It's Hilda Bunch.
07:29Yeah.
07:29And it's still Steven, so.
07:31I thought it was Mark.
07:33No, it's Steven.
07:34Am I playing favorites?
07:35No.
07:36Someone has to be paired with my worst base.
07:38And it might as well be Hilda Bunch who I really hope doesn't make Matt.
07:43Five, six, seven.
07:46Oh!
07:47Wow.
07:48Hey!
07:49Woo!
07:50Woo!
07:51Woo!
07:52Damn it.
07:53She's good.
07:53I don't mind her, Mark.
07:56She is like sad clown.
07:58And if Sally wants to make Matt, she's gonna have to do it with my best base.
08:02I'm totally ready for Daytona.
08:03Before a chair, DeMarcus always had to be the center of attention.
08:06But Coach taught me to not show off.
08:08Fine.
08:08I do want Sally to succeed.
08:10But there's nothing wrong with that.
08:13It comes from my head, not my heart.
08:17DeMarcus, you're with Sally.
08:18Let's go, Sally!
08:19All right, Sally.
08:20You got this, Sally!
08:21Come on!
08:23All right.
08:24Lock it in.
08:24Yeah, show him.
08:27She really needs to nail this.
08:29You're telling me about it, sister.
08:30Yes!
08:31Yes!
08:34Yes, Sally!
08:35Yes, go!
08:36Oh!
08:38There we go.
08:39Okay.
08:39Yeah!
08:41Yeah!
08:42Yeah!
08:43Yikes.
08:47Telling a cheerleader that they're not gonna make Matt is difficult.
08:50Telling a cheer parent that their child is not gonna make Matt is even harder.
08:55Telling someone who thinks they are a cheer parent is next to impossible.
09:00That's why I need to tell Boone in a space where he cannot overreact.
09:04Praising my Savior!
09:05It's not fair.
09:07We're in God's house right now, so if you have a problem, take it up with him.
09:11Dear Lord, please help my wife see the error of her ways.
09:14Amen.
09:15Please, be seated.
09:16We come now to a time of prayer, and we lift up the concerns of our church family.
09:24We pray for Courtney Potter, who, though she has brought shame to the community and to our congregation with her
09:31foul language.
09:32I'm about to go San Antonio on these .
09:35Rat .
09:36Forget the .
09:36Battery dropper.
09:38We're gonna cut all the potty words out of this, right?
09:40I just, I feel like people in my church may watch.
09:43Has inspired us to have a forgiving spirit, and we pray for her as she takes her team to Daytona.
09:50Thank you, Pastor Salad.
09:52Amen.
09:53Amen.
09:54Pastor Salad, I would like to ask that we pray for Sally, our little girl, who I just found out
10:00might not make it.
10:02Oh.
10:03Sally is a young and healthy cheerleader with her whole life ahead of her.
10:07She just probably won't make Matt.
10:08Oh.
10:09Okay.
10:09She also lived in her car, and one time she had to wash her cheer bloomers in our kitchen sink.
10:15Oh.
10:16Boone, I want Sally to make it just as much as you do, but it is a point system.
10:19Then give Sally another way to make points.
10:22The only other way to make points is baskets, and she has only ever done the most basic one.
10:25It is never too late.
10:27Remember, Jesus let Lazarus try out for life again.
10:30Oh, my God.
10:31It does seem like it would be appropriate to offer this young girl the same grace you have been granted.
10:45Fine.
10:47Oh.
10:47I will give her another try, but this is her last shot.
10:50Hallelujah!
10:51She has risen!
10:57Anybody else got anything?
11:05Sally!
11:06You're on deck, hon.
11:08Daytona obviously would be amazing.
11:10I've never been to Florida before.
11:12Wait, no.
11:13That's not true.
11:14I lived on an alligator farm when I was 13.
11:16But this time feels different.
11:19You know, no one is told to call an 800 number if they see me.
11:24Guys, I don't know why I'm so nervous.
11:25I just feel like I've done all the basics. I just need to add the spin probably because if they
11:29drop you you could die
11:31I was nervous my first time too, which is think of everything that's ever made you mad use that rage
11:36I just don't have like a lot of that
11:38So I'm just sort of saving it for if I ever get deployed guys. Honestly, I don't think that's helping
11:42There's a lot of pressure and if you don't do this, it's over
11:46Yeah, for some reason that's not helping. I don't know. Can I try? If you don't do this basket? I
11:51will steal your boyfriend
11:52Oh, hold on think fast
11:58Just drop them drop them off. What about something sad that you've overcome that's given you power?
12:05If I'm not back in five minutes just way longer
12:16Okay, I got something
12:20Matt tryouts are as much a stress test as they are skills test. I have had elite cheerleaders not make
12:26it
12:26I have had bench warmers surprise me and that's why I'm head over heart
12:32Stand up quick you got it
12:50I'm all heart and no head and I own it
12:54That's my popsicle stick. Wow. Good job. Good job. Thank you. Thank you
12:59Sally executing her basket complicates things
13:02I just asked Jesus to make my decision obvious even though Jesus has never been to Daytona despite what my
13:07husband claims
13:08All right, can I have Asian Eric? Yeah
13:31I'm the OG cheer team. I founded it. I'm not saying I'm George Washington, but if there was cheer money
13:37I'd be on the dollar bill. Anyway, I'm really excited to be going to Daytona with my best friends my
13:43boyfriend
13:45And mark
13:45Come on Madonna. You got this cute music
13:58You okay, Beth? Yeah, I'm fine. I just I just got distracted or something
14:02It's all good, baby. She got this. She got this. She got this. She got this
14:05Come on Madonna. Let's get him
14:07Cue music
14:16You good?
14:17Oh
14:20What's going on? I don't know. I just got really nervous all of a sudden. Okay, so just don't be
14:24nervous
14:25Thank you. All better. Yeah, I really thought that would work. Okay, clear out. I got this
14:36Cue music
14:37Cue music
15:11I'm sorry
15:14You need to print your inbox like your closet
15:16First off you better not be going through my closet
15:18The emails are just from the kids. They're trying to curry favor, but I'm not even gonna look at them
15:22until I've set them out
15:23I can't I will I must go with my head over my heart
15:27What are you thinking? I'm thinking I'm really worried about Daytona
15:31I mean, I know how much product Courtney uses on her hair to get it to look like this in
15:35zero humidity
15:36I think Florida is gonna be a disaster for her
15:40Seth, I know you're not in my bedroom right now
15:43Oh, I was just looking for the bathroom
15:48Maybe you can't be in here right now
15:49I didn't even see you were there. I'm just crossing through to get a snack. All right, carry on with
15:53your business
15:54He's obsessed with you. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I guess it's gonna come down between the button
15:58mascot hildebudge and Madonna
16:00Yes, Lord, you have never forsaken me
16:04Permission to speak honestly. Is it about my appearance? No, then yes. I love Madonna
16:08I mean, I would be Madonna if the technology was available
16:12But if we're just going on her mat tryout, I don't think she's in the mix
16:16But we're going by points and there's much more than tumbling on the score sheet
16:19Such as the way you present. She has the best smile of anybody on the mat. Look at that
16:25Hildebunch has never smiled. I don't even know if she has teeth
16:27Hmm, she does she bit me. This guy smiles all the time, but in a way that keeps me up
16:31at night
16:33Don't cock your head like that. I'm not making excuses for her. I truly believe that the judges would love
16:37Madonna
16:37But what if she gets the yips in Daytona?
16:39And what if she doesn't?
16:42Okay, I'm gonna talk to you for a second not as your choreographer, but as your stalker
16:45Okay
16:46As someone who's just read through all of your diaries
16:49You're not afraid to make the hard choice
16:53I'm gonna need you to leave my house right now
16:57See that's what I'm talking about
17:01Heading out, Boone
17:02See you, sir
17:04First of all, I want to say you all showed tremendous heart on the mat
17:08And whoever didn't make it is still gonna go as an alternate
17:10Now I usually make this announcement in front of everyone
17:13But that's when half the team isn't making Matt
17:15So I do think it's best if you each come individually into my office
17:17And that way nobody's embarrassed
17:18Uh, Coach
17:20No one is embarrassed, alright?
17:22Look, each and every one of you has something to be proud of
17:25Shut up, Mark
17:25Copy that. No, copy that
17:26Walk to the side, buddy
17:28Look, we are all a team
17:30So we would like to hear together who made it
17:34Okay
17:42Madonna, I'm sorry
17:44Let me finish
17:46Hey, hey
17:47Hold on
17:47Let me finish
17:49I'm sorry, honey
17:53Wait, what?
17:54What?
17:55No
17:55What?
17:59Um, no, it's okay
18:00It's okay
18:01It's more than okay
18:02It's more than
18:03Uh, when I say Daytona, you say what?
18:07Day-to-na
18:09What?
18:16Hey, Benny
18:17Hiya
18:18Why are you so stressed eating popsicles?
18:20Sally made the tea?
18:21I'm not
18:21I'm happy eating popsicles
18:23Turns out I just like popsicles
18:24Okay
18:24I bet you could use one
18:26Couldn't have been easy telling Madonna
18:27No, I'm good
18:28I mean, it wasn't
18:29But
18:30You know what?
18:30They're athletes
18:31And at the end of the day
18:32They know you don't always win
18:33Mm-hmm
18:33I mean, I do wish they didn't have to compete against each other
18:35After getting so close
18:37Yeah, it always does get a little Lord of the Flies-y this time of year, doesn't it?
18:40Yeah, yeah
18:40So did they turn on each other?
18:42Should we read some of those emails and see?
18:44I bet it gets pretty cut from there
18:47All right
18:48From Crystal
18:4815% off my website until midnight
18:50That's a good deal
18:51Also, Madonna should make Matt
18:54Okay, all right, all right
18:55Let's try Steven
18:56Hey coach, I think Madonna should make the team
18:58I have at least seven years left
18:59She can take my spot
19:02Okay
19:03Uh, okay, Peaches
19:04This will be a good one
19:04Don't be a
19:05Just put Madonna on the team
19:09Okay
19:10Well, you can see
19:11You get the point
19:13What?
19:13Honey
19:14No, wait
19:16You've done a real good job
19:18They love each other
19:19They love each other
19:19No, I'm just saying
19:19What?
19:20What?
19:20You should be crying
19:21You are being such a softie right now
19:24I know
19:25I know you are not this emotional when you're coaching
19:26That's football
19:28Okay
19:29All right
19:29You wanna see what Madonna wrote?
19:32Okay
19:34Put on your big boy pants
19:35This might get rough
19:37Oh, it's video
19:38Hey coach
19:39I know you have to make a hard choice
19:40But
19:42No matter what happens
19:43I just really wanna let you know
19:45How much you mean to me
19:46That's the athlete right there
19:48She kept it
19:48And
19:48As the original cheer team
19:50I'm not going anywhere
19:53Oh, she don't sing

20:02When I stumbled apart
20:05A group of unlikely friends
20:07There's this coach lady

20:20Fall asleep sometimes
20:22But

20:24I can count on you
20:26To fill the lines
20:28And I hope that
20:29You know
