35
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: When I hopped in the car, a producer Aaron was like,

36
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: is it that cold already? I said, no, I don't

37
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: want to.

38
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: Do my hair. My wigs ain't here. Aaron can't relate.

39
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: Shit ain't here, Aaron. That's why Aaron cannot relate. He cannot.

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: So here's what I want to know, and you can

41
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: tell or not tell. So colors, what colors are they?

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: What do they look like? All the things long? Short?

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: I know they're long. I know they're not short. I

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: know they're long.

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: Yes, they are long. They're about twenty inches, so they're

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: gonna hit my shoulder. One is a little wavy, the

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: other one is straight. They are like a reddish brown.

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: Because I'm in my red era right now, and I

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: got something really funny to tell you about that too.

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: But I'm in my red era right now, and so

51
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: they're like reddish brown, and I'm really excited.

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: Like we were at WNBA.

53
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: All Star last year in Phoenix and you nice was

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: a sponsor for an event that we went to that

55
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: was honoring you as a matter of fact, and that

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 2: was my first time actually wearing any of their pieces,

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: and I was like, Okay, there's pretty straight because you

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: know how you see all of them, yeah, and you

59
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: don't believe it.

60
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, so yeah, because you don't believe it.

61
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, but I've been a fan

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: ever since, so I know they come in.

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: It's just hurry up. I need you know. The thing

64
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 3: is when you order.

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Anything right, anything at least for me, I order it

66
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, I don't really want to pay

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the extra money for expedited shipping.

68
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: But get me my shit quick quick. I need it quickly.

69
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: And hair and hair is just different, like you know,

70
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: because you see it online.

71
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: And it's like, oh, this is pretty, this is pretty.

72
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: But for me, I'm always concern or worried like is

73
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,559
Speaker 1: it really going to look like what it looked like online?

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 5: Right?

75
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: That is what has always been my reservation with ordering

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: almost anything fat online is that it looks real cute

77
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: on your picture, and then when I actually get it,

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: it's not exactly what I order. Like that is my

79
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: greatest online ordering fear, and specifically with hair because now

80
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: I got to go on TV with this ship and I.

81
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, ma'am. Is that from? Is that

82
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: from the Halloween Store?

83
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: Like?

84
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 5: What do we do?

85
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: And see?

86
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: And I'm bad Like in my younger days, like when

87
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: I was playing and all the things I was the

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: I am not shopping online because I have to physically

89
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: put my hands on it, see it, touch it, try

90
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: it on.

91
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: And in my much wiser days.

92
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Now, girl, anybody got time to be going in store shopping?

93
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: I just don't. I'm like, I give me online all

94
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: day long. But the worst part about that is if

95
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: you don't if if you don't like it, or if

96
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't fit you, then gotta send it back.

97
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the whole other problems.

98
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I and I ain't nobody got time for

99
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: that either. So typically what I end up doing, if

100
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: I order something that doesn't fit or I end up

101
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: not liking it, I can give it away because I.

102
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: Don't want to do the same thing. I do the

103
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 3: same thing.

104
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: I do that, like hit us on Instagram, whatever, because

105
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm curious because it can't just be the two of us.

106
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: Right, it can't be. It can't be. It can't be.

107
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: I am the same way, like if I can't fit

108
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: it at this point, I just be like, fine, you go, here,

109
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: you go.

110
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 3: Somebody I know can wear it. I can't. I can't

111
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: do it.

112
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: I am only just now, like in the year of

113
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, starting to get comfortable ordering specific things

114
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: online because there are things that I steal, like my hair,

115
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: like I'm talking about, I'm anxious about it because I.

116
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: Don't order hair online a lot, Like I need to.

117
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: Walk in they and I get people who ask me

118
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: all the time to rencle where you get your wigs from,

119
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: where you get your pieces from, And I'm just like,

120
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: I have got to walk in the beauty supply story.

121
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: We have to see it and touch it and feel it.

122
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: And during COVID, we weren't able to try on wigs

123
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: for years, right, so I'm still like getting used to

124
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: the fact that we can try on the hair again

125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: because for a while we couldn't. So I was out

126
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: here just leaning on the Lord like, baby Jesus, let

127
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: this be as good as it looked on this mannequin,

128
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: because your girl can't put it on.

129
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: And for those out there who are saying, girl is

130
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: just a wig, right, because I'm sure there are people

131
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: that are like, it's just a wig.

132
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: No, it's more than just a wig. Like it is.

133
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: The hair has not only does it have to look

134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 1: good on you, like it has to feel good.

135
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: You got to be able to run your fingers.

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: Through it, like now part of you make love to

137
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: it while you're trying it.

138
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: It's got to be you. It talks to you, and

139
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: then you can give it a name.

140
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: And when you can give you a piece a name,

141
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: that's how when you give a unit a name, that's

142
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: how you know it's yours. So that's that's all all good.

143
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: Before we move into the next level, though, really quick,

144
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: I've got to say.

145
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: You're wearing a shirt right now.

146
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: That's his Self Care twenty four three sixty five and

147
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: Wellness Club. And I can't tell you over the last week.

148
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: I just came back from Maryland. I spent a weekend

149
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: in Maryland at a leadership retreat that our sources in

150
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: the region.

151
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: Yes, we were at a leadership and trip come on

152
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: period and.

153
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: It was so great, right, but we took a moment

154
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: to talk about self care, willness, how we have to

155
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: do a better job as leaders, like taking care of ourselves.

156
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: And somebody had a great idea of if you're a

157
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: person that's busy and you keep a calendar, you need

158
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: to actually schedule in your self care, like block out

159
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: literally on your calendar. I am busy from seven to ten,

160
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: and that is your time that you've blocked out specifically

161
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: in your calendar for like self care.

162
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: Do you do that? Like have you done that? Like

163
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: literally blocked out time for you? So here's the crazy thing.

164
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: No, not on my calendar, but in like in my head,

165
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: in my mind every morning when I wake up, I

166
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: tell myself, all right, from this time to this time

167
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: is my maytime. There's no honestly, there's no social media,

168
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: there's no cell phone, there's no calls, there's no text,

169
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: there's no husband, there's no dogs. And it's really hard

170
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: to do m h because you know, we as women,

171
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: we do everything. But the days when I'm able to

172
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: do it, it's so crazy, Tea, but I gotta tell.

173
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 3: You it, it completely changes, Like my mood.

174
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: It changes my my mental it changes my day just

175
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: to take and sometimes as much as I want to

176
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: do like the two or three hours, sometimes it's just

177
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes, where's yeah where I'm like, I'll just

178
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: go away if that's just go sit in my garden.

179
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: And honestly, sometimes I will go sit in my car. Yeah,

180
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 3: Like I'll just go sit in my car.

181
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: And hurt, no music, nothing, I just sit there and

182
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: I have like a moment of reflection or.

183
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: Talking to the Lord or talking to myself or just

184
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: some me time.

185
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: And it's crazy that you, like you read the shirt

186
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: this morning. When I got up, It's almost like the

187
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: shirt was talking to me because I've had a lot

188
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: of stuff recently that has happened, and I'm like, listen,

189
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: shit is gonna happen, and if you can't control it,

190
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: then don't stress over it. So that's why I was

191
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: like this shirt. I need this shirt today. And it's

192
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: crazy when we get there the quote I have for

193
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: us today.

194
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: On this topic, I usually say, okay, this is when

195
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: like I try to get my facial ones every two months,

196
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: Like nail time is my definitely my me time, Like

197
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: that's an all day event, because it's not just nails,

198
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: it's nails eyebrows all the day, okay, because I'm doing it,

199
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: so it's leave me alone. So I put those things

200
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: in my schedule, but I never really just be like,

201
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: you know, Tuesday, I'm blocking out five to seven and nope,

202
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: I ain't got nothing to do, and Nope, I ain't

203
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: going to where I'm just gonna be like, that's my

204
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: my me time.

205
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: And you shouldn't have to explain that to anybody, right right,

206
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: And so I'm just wondering how other people, if other

207
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: people do that, because like, since I've heard it, I'm like,

208
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm about to really go in on this calendar times.

209
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start that, y'all. Yeah, like just this is

210
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,079

242
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: myself and Cheryl today on levels of this podcast. We've

243
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: been trying to get you both to be on the

244
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: show for a while because we just love the energy

245
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: and everything that you guys have been bringing. So let's

246
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: just kind of start there coming into the WNBA brand

247
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: new experience. I remember seeing you both at the draft.

248
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: Just what has your and Kiki, we can start with you,

249
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: just you know, what has your experience been as it

250
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: relates to transitioning and to the WNBA. Just you know,

251
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: the travel and the schedule, the people, Just what has

252
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: that experience been like for you?

253
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say it's been a roller coaster. You know,

254
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 7: everything happens so fast. You end your cause season, you

255
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 7: go to New York to get drafted, then you come

256
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 7: straight to Washington and then you start the season immediately.

257
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 7: So kind of felt like you don't have any time

258
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 7: to breathe. But it's been fun because it's something that

259
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 7: I love to do. But everything is different from being

260
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 7: on the road traveling almost every other day.

261
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 6: We don't have team meals.

262
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 7: We like get to the hotel and it's like buy

263
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 7: see you tomorrow, which is very different from what college is.

264
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 6: But I've loved it.

265
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 7: I think for me, I've just looked at it as

266
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 7: a challenge, and you know, every night it's a new

267
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 7: challenge and I'm only going to learn from this. There's

268
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 7: no such thing as failure, So I think just looking

269
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 7: at everything as a learning opportunity and kind of not

270
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 7: having too high expectations for myself coming into the WNBA

271
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 7: and just trying to be a sponge whatever I can

272
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 7: do for my team and what can I learn from

273
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 7: the people that I'm playing against as well. But it's

274
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 7: been fun doing this with Sony, doing it with Georgia

275
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 7: and Lucy all the other Ricky's. So I've had a

276
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 7: blast so far.

277
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: I love it.

278
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: We got nicknames already, Girl, Hey Sony and what's up?

279
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 3: Girl?

280
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: I'm on the team now. So that's it is it is.

281
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: But what has the experience been for you?

282
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 5: I think very similar Toakiki, there's a whirlwind, like I

283
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 5: feel like we're going one hundred miles an hour all

284
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 5: the time.

285
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: But I think it's been amazing.

286
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 5: I think this organization, this team, the coaches, the front office,

287
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 5: they've made it so special.

288
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: And it's just like it's made it really really fun.

289
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 5: So even though it might get crazy and hectic sometimes

290
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: or you might be tired because we're playing five games

291
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 5: and eight day whatever, it is like it's just fun,

292
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 5: you know, like we're playing basketball. We get to do

293
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 5: what we love and we get to do it with

294
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 5: people we love. So I think we're just really blessed

295
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 5: and it's been been an awesome year.

296
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you it is not just because

297
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: it's your first year that this game schedule has been

298
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: very hectic. It has been this way for everyone. Everyone's

299
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: talking about how crazy it is. But do you think

300
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: you guys have translated your or naturally translated that that

301
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: you did well in college into the w NBA. Like,

302
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: what has been the biggest adjustment for you, Sonia?

303
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: I feel like everybody says this, but I would say

304
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 4: the physicality and the speed at which they play, not

305
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: like not the speed physically, but the speed that you

306
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 4: have to make.

307
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 5: Decisions in the game before like that speed. I think

308
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 5: that is definitely something that I'm still trying to adjust

309
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 5: to and get better at.

310
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: And then obviously the physicality and just being able to

311
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: handle that while you're while you're dribbling, while you're shooting,

312
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 4: while you're trying to make plays.

313
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 5: And then I think there's just that that component of

314
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 5: like I need to get stronger, but as a rookie,

315
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 5: you can't really like lift in season, so it's kind

316
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 5: of off season things.

317
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 4: So just trying to do the best best you can

318
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: with what you have in the moment. But I would

319
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,479
Speaker 4: say those two things.

320
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense for you, Kiki.

321
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 7: Honestly, I love the physicality. I think in college is

322
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 7: like everything was the office is all for me. So

323
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 7: it's not that I get to play a little bit more.

324
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 7: But obviously the women are stronger and faster, But I

325
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 7: think the biggest difference is how smart they are. Like

326
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 7: when I think about players that I've been guarding, which

327
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 7: are some of the best in the world, and like

328
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 7: they're at a level where I want to get too,

329
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 7: it's how smart they are, Like they don't necessarily have

330
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 7: to body you every time or split super fast, but

331
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 7: like they play at their own pace and they're able

332
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 7: to see the play unfold before it even happened. So yeah,

333
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 7: that's the separator for me is just the IQ. They

334
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 7: have such a high IQ.

335
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: Now I love the physicality.

336
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: Girl. I know you do because quite literally started this

337
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: season with Tina, with Asia, I.

338
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: Was like, my god, like, give the girl a break.

339
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: It's crazy. So I love that.

340
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: And I think one thing that is so important is

341
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: like coming into this league to feel that you have

342
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: camaraderie and feel that you have support. And I think

343
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: one of the things that has really drawn so many

344
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: people to the two of you is because it felt

345
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: as if there has been an instant connection between you two,

346
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: but that's our appearance. We really don't know if that's

347
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: the case. So I'm going to ask now for the

348
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: people who have been wanting to know forever, what was

349
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: it like building the chemistry between the two of you.

350
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: Like, how how did that happen? Was it through the.

351
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: Draft, was it through practice?

352
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 3: How did that come about? Either one can go.

353
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 7: I would say it happened very naturally, like it wasn't forced.

354
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 7: Sonya is a very easy person to talk to. I

355
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 7: thought she was really really quiet at first, which she

356
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 7: kind of is at the beginning, but has a great personality.

357
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 7: But I think there wasn't like one moment where it

358
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 7: just sparked. I think when we got on the court,

359
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 7: we kind of had a great flow, great chemistry. And

360
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 7: then off the court, we spend more time with each other.

361
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 7: We had so many rookie events at the beginning, so

362
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 7: I think that probably really helped because we're spending a

363
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 7: lot of time with each other at the beginning. But

364
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 7: it was very natural, very easy, and I feel like

365
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 7: that's why it's transferting on the court.

366
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, same, Sonya, no extra.

367
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 4: I would definitely agree. I would say definitely did not

368
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: happen at the drafts.

369
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 6: We rarely talked.

370
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 5: I think I talked to her once and I was like, oh,

371
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 5: this girl's intimidating, like but I think it was also

372
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 5: we were just such high emotions like before we like

373
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 5: I talked to her for the first time before we

374
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 5: both knew we were going to the Mystic, so I

375
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 5: didn't know she was going to be my teammate.

376
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: So definitely didn't happen there. But then I think once

377
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 4: we got here again, like he said, we've just been

378
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 4: spending so much time together because we're with each other

379
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 4: twenty four to seven.

380
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 5: If it's not traveling, then it's practice. If it's not practice,

381
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 5: it's a game. Like it's there's always something And again,

382
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 5: like she said, he's a very easy person to get

383
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 5: along with and not only play with, but just hang

384
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 5: out with, talk with, and we're going through the same things.

385
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 5: So it's just it's really nice to have somebody that

386
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 5: understands you and that can just help you through it,

387
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: because again, I think we're going through not just like struggles,

388
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 5: but similar experiences, you know, being a rookie, being a

389
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 5: rookie in this kind of way too.

390
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: So it's just been been good to have it by

391
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: my son.

392
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

393
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have realized it, but

394
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: the goat is here, so I have to yield the floor.

395
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: Because Sirle's here.

396

00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,560

00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we we have had a very casual conversation.

412
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: We've already established that Sonya's nickname is Sony, and when

413
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 2: I see her tomorrow, I don't want her to act

415
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: Like, hey, girl, that nickname. Is that nickname for friends

416
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: and family?

417
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: No it's not.

418
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: I think it's for teammates. So I've established that I'm

419
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: a part of the team.

420
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: Just for this time. I'm gonna say, are you family

421
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:35,440

422
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: I've established that I'm I am, I'm part of the team,

423
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: just for this moment, and then I'll go back to

424
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: my corner.

425
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: I like, Sony and Kiki, what's your nickname? Short? That's

426
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: short enough, right, Sony and Kiki? Now do me do

427
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 3: me a favor.

428
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: Can you pronounce your your your literal first name?

429
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: Because I forgot. I think it was the All Star.

430
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: Game when you were introduced, they introduced you by your

431
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: first name, and I stood up and cheered.

432
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: I was like, y'all better say my girl.

433
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,000

Speaker 6: Know, Yes, my full name is Eria fin.

436
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: A Fin.

437
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: Yes, So I'm gonna ask a question and thank you

438
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: for pronouncing that correctly, because I mean, my name ain't

439
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: that difficult. I don't think, but I've gotten everything from

440
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: swoops to swooper. I'm like, y'all, it's not that complicated

441
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: and sorry, and it pisses me.

442
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: Off when they get it wrong.

443
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: So, like, I've heard your name from broadcasters pronounced a

444
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: gazillion different ways. Do you ever sometimes want to just

445
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: go over or before a game and be like, y'all,

446
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: this is how you pronounce my name.

447
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 7: Honestly, when I'm playing, I really don't hear my name called.

448
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 7: It's usually like our pr person who is like, you know,

449
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 7: they're saying your name wrong, and like we need to

450
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 7: fix this, so like me go into the broadcasters before

451
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 7: the game or something like that.

452
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 6: Especially when I was in college, like that was a

453
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 6: big deal.

454
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 4: They did not play about that.

455
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 7: But yeah, when I'm playing, I really don't pay attention

456
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 7: to it's always after the fact that I'm like, uh,

457
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 7: that's not my name.

458
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: If you're watching film back You're like, I'm about to

459
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: mute this because ain't.

460
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: No way I'm like to listen to them say my

461
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: name like this, and do your parents ever say like, Kiki,

462
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: you need to get them to renounce your name correctly

463
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: or our name correctly.

464
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 6: My dad he's like, they need to fix it. He's

465
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 6: texting me they need to fix that.

466
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 3: Yes, I feel that. I feel that.

467
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: I feel that at one hundred percent. I feel at

468
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. My name is Tarika and people tend

469
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: to say Terika Tyreka. I even had somebody call me Teriyaki. Y'all,

470
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: I'm not making that up. And I was that is

471
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: where I see what I'm saying. That's where I have

472
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 2: to draw on. I was like, now, y'all are doing

473
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: too much. My name is don't like nothing like Aiaki

474
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: like this is this is unacceptable. But I mentioned you

475
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 2: guys being All Stars and so, first off, congratulations that

476
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: was an amazing honor.

477
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 3: Especially for rookie.

478
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: But how was your All Star experience and just how

479
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: surprised were both of you to receive such an honor

480
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: so early in your career.

481
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: Sonya will start with.

482
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 5: You, Wow, I mean I think All Star was amazing

483
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 5: It definitely was not something that I was expecting, so

484
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 5: I was very shocked when it happened, especially the way

485
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 5: the way that I found out. But I mean, the

486
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 5: weekend was it was great. I don't think I've ever

487
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: been that busy in my entire life. Those I was

488
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 5: just going from one thing to another to another, like

489
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 5: and I'm not even some that glam gets all dressed up,

490
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 5: so it was it was a whirlwind, but it was amazing.

491
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 5: I think it was really cool to get a chance

492
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 5: to see the other players in the league, not in

493
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 5: the sense where I'm playing against them and I see

494
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 5: their competitive side, and I got to hang out with

495
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 5: them and talk to them and just to see how

496
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 5: cool they were as people and just get to know them.

497
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: So I thought that part was really cool. It was

498
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 4: an amazing experience.

499
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: Kiki. Did you guys get to hang out with stuff Butts?

500
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 6: We were on stream a few times, but they're incredible.

501
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: Maybe not not not make the straight, but they are.

502
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 6: They are the life of the party. They were so

503
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 6: much fun.

504
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 7: And obviously, then like Sony mentioned, like we compete against them,

505
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 7: but we never get to really get to know their personality,

506
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 7: so it was so fun. You know, all the women

507
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 7: there the whole entire weekend, and everybody was super friendly.

508
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 7: I'm like, this is not how you treat me in

509
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 7: the game.

510
00:24:53,040 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: So I was and and there, and they're they're not

511
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 3: supposed to. Well, they're not supposed to, right, right, So

512
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 3: I want to ask a question.

513
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: It's very rare that I'm going to say three rookies

514
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: right with Georgia, But it's very rare that rookies come

515
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: into the league, or honestly any professional league for that matter,

516
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: and have the type of an impact that the two

517
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: of you are having on the Mystics so early on.

518
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: Two questions, Has that been surprising to you? And what's

519
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: been the biggest adjustment for both of you going from

520
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: college to the w and Sonya you can go first.

521
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 5: I I wouldn't say, like completely surprising, because I feel

522
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 5: like before the draft, when everybody was talking about the Mystics,

523
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 5: like my coaches were telling me like, oh, if you

524
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 5: went there, like there's opportunity there, you know, like you'll

525
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 5: get a chance to to prove yourself and.

526
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 4: Do what you do. So I wouldn't say it was

527
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 4: entirely surprising. I think how well it's translated.

528
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 5: Yes, I wouldn't have expected that, But I do think

529
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 5: that coming to Washington, the best thing about that was

530
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 5: not only the people, but the opportunity that me and

531
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 5: Kiki get to to actually play, because I think that's

532
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 5: a huge thing. There's so many talented players, talented rookies,

533
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 5: but they just don't get that chance to really prove themselves.

534
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 4: So I think that was that was huge.

535
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 5: So I wouldn't say I'm like totally surprised, but definitely

536
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 5: like a little bit, if that makes sense.

537
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's been the biggest What's been the biggest

538
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: adjustment for you?

539
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 5: I would definitely say, uh, the handling, the physicality, and

540
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 5: then also just the speed at which you have to

541
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 5: make decisions, just because everything happens so fast and if

542
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: you don't, like, you'll just miss it if you missed

543
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 5: that split second. Like you really just have to see

544
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 5: things almost before they happen, just because everybody is so

545
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 5: it's so good.

546
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 4: I would say that. So those two, those two things.

547
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: Now I'm about to talk about Cheryl for being late,

548
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: because I didn't already ask yall to a.

549
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: Just miss questions. You see what happens, See what happens

550
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 3: when you be late? Okay, so don't don't answer that part.

551
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: But other part they're probably like, day, where do you

552
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 3: answer this?

553
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 7: Yes, I was surprised just because my situation was a

554
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 7: little bit different from Sony. There was a lot of

555
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 7: people ahead of me, so I felt like training camp

556
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 7: I was fighting for my life. Like I was like,

557
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 7: I'm gonna come out of this and my coaches are

558
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 7: going to be forced to have to play me, And

559
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 7: that's that's the extent of what it was. I didn't

560
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 7: know if I was going to be starting. I didn't

561
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 7: know if I'd played twenty plus minutes, but I'm like,

562
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 7: I want I'm gonna I'm not getting a DMP, Like,

563
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 7: my coaches are going to play me every single game.

564
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 7: So I think for me, it was just being relentless

565
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 7: in training camp, really showing that I wasn't scared of anybody,

566
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 7: and just having the confidence and I really showcase that

567
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 7: in our preseason games as well, which gave my coaches

568
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 7: a confidence like Okay, she can compete at this level.

569
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think it was honestly exciting for me

570
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 7: to leave college and I didn't leave college the way

571
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 7: I would have liked to, so to leave college and

572
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 7: come to the league and kind of have a reset

573
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 7: and be like I get to decide how I want

574
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 7: this story to go and how I want this chapter

575
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 7: to go, and I get to decide how I want

576
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 7: to enter the w NBA. So I think I just

577
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 7: put my head down and I was like, I'm gonna

578
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 7: work super hard, I'm gonna leave nothing up the chance,

579
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 7: and I'm gonna like take whatever I want. And I

580
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 7: feel like that has helped me kind of have success

581
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 7: and have impact afterimastics.

582
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 3: I love that, all right.

583
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: So I know that you guys gotta gotta get to

584
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: shoot around and get and wrap up really quick. So

585
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: before we go, I just want to do a quick

586
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: little rapid fire with the both of you. Just have

587
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: a little bit of fun. Okay, So first one, what's

588
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: your go to pregame like hype song? Like what's the

589
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: what's the what's what's in? What's on the os when

590
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: you're when you're getting ready for the game.

591
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 4: I don't really listen to music that much.

592
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: What that?

593
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I know, Well, I feel like play

594
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: music in the locker room. So I just listened to

595
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 5: their music because it's on the speaker. But afrobeats always

596
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 5: hypes me up.

597
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: I like, look at Kiki, not in her heads. That's

598
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: the one that's.

599
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: Not when we get when we get to burn a

600
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: boy playing tomorrow. I don't say that.

601
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 4: For me. I would say gospel music.

602
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 6: It doesn't really matter. I just put it on shuffle.

603
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 7: But kind of I'm like a very energetic and ra person,

604
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 7: so that allows me to like a little like calm

605
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 7: down a little.

606
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 4: Bit like wow on the court.

607
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Okay, here's another one for you.

608
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: What's been your favorite city to visit so far in

609
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: the w NBA and why is it Connecticut?

610
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 7: I'm Connectic, but I would say Chicago has been really fun.

611
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 7: Where we stay is really pretty, and there's a lot

612
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 7: of shops and we've got to spend a good amount

613
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 7: of time in Chicago. So Chicago's mine.

614
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 4: Okay, I want to say the same thing. I would say, though,

615
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 4: I am excited to go to Connecticut for the pizza.

616
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: That's fair. That's fair.

617
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: After the game, for sure.

618
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: That's fair. She's probably going to Frank Pepe and get

619
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 3: some pizza.

620
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 4: I get it exactly.

621
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 3: Connecticut pizza.

622
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: Oh, Connecticut has a sign that says we're the pizza

623
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: capital of the world. Don't don't even get me started.

676
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 3: Like Phil, it was so many things I didn't even

677
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 3: get a chance to think about. I got.

678
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: I had a long, long, long list of questions for them.

679
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: But for those of you who are wondering, like if

680
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: this is real and if we're recording live and all

681
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: the things, Yeah, so like internet does what it wants

682
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: to do, so you know, my internet was doing what it.

683
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: Wanted to do.

684
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: But I will tell you I'm a huge fan both

685
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: Sonia ki Key and I always think about what, like

686
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: what my relationship would have been like with other rookies

687
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: had I been drafted as a rookie, because that's another

688
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: thing I think we at some point need to do

689
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: kind of like a history lesson on like when the

690
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: w started, like you know, for sure, Gret, like, we

691
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: didn't have a draft, so I wasn't drafted. But anyway,

692
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: I love the relationship that the two of them have

693
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: as rookies.

694
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: Now are we considered friends or family? So we get

695
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 3: to call Sonya Sony.

696
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: I saw Sony at the game because they played Connecticut

697
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: the very next day.

698
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 3: And when I walked out of the court, I saorry

699
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: she saw me.

700
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 2: She behaved instantly, smiled instantly, and I said hey Sony,

701
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: and she started cracking up and she said, ah, so

702
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 2: it is what it is, y'all. Anybody out there that's

703
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: in their feelings being your feelings, because I'm I'm clearly,

726
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: on surface level. So it says, when you learn how

727

744
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: them and I don't stick with them and people get

745
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,920
