What do 158 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: you think about Doci? 159 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: I love Doci. The album was great. That is an 160 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: album that I listened to that I played straight through. 161 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I think she's great and I think you know what 162 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: she stands for. I love her videos about you know. 163 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: She posted a video one time where she was like, 164 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: I just want to pursue rap, Like I just want 165 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: to do what I love to do. I have bills 166 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: to pay and I have things that I need to 167 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: take care of as an adult. And that resonated a 168 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: lot with me because there was a time in my 169 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: life where I just wanted to pursue TV, but I 170 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: had bills that I needed to pay, and I needed insurance, 171 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: and I needed, you know, to take care of life 172 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: as an adult. I couldn't just dedicate all of my 173 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: time to TV, and so I had other jobs while 174 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: pursuing the dream of being an analyst on TV, and 175 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: so I think I resonated a lot with Dochi, and 176 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: I love her sound. Her tiny desk was amazing and 177 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: so much fun. So I like Doci a lot and 178 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: the album's great. 179 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. If I didn't have bills, I'd be on my 180 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 4: third flute album by now. I would not be podcasting whatsoever. 181 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: I'd be in Union Square with a flue for sure. 182 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: What other crazy jobs did you have while you were 183 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 4: pursuing your career? 184 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: Now? 185 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: I did almost anything you could like I did. 186 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: I drovee for Uber, drove for Lyft. 187 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: I was a graduate assistant at our Academic Center at 188 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: the University of Tennessee, and I worked with the swim 189 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: team and the softball team. I trained kids. I did 190 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: like basketball skills training. I was an inside saleswoman at 191 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: a company called wood Grain Distribution. I say, Crown molding. 192 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: You sold Crown molding. 193 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 4: You have to give us a thirty second pitch of 194 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: ground molding, like we just walked into the store. 195 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: Like this Crown molding at the bottom of my law 196 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: looks like Crown twenty seven that I used to sell. 197 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 1: But I would answer the phone every day, and I 198 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: would wear business casual clothes to work, and I would 199 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: say thank you for calling wood Grant, This is Andrea, 200 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: how can I help you? Every phone call every day? 201 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: But then I honestly was fortunate enough. My masters was 202 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: in kinesiology and I became an Orange Theory fitness coach. 203 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: So I fitness for almost four years while doing TV 204 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 1: on the side, and I loved that job and it 205 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: gave me a lot of purpose and they were really 206 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: flexible with my schedule. 207 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: So once I fell into fitness coaching, I was good. 208 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: But I had a lot of odd end jobs for 209 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: before I fell into that, which then helped me get 210 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: to TV. 211 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: But yes, I was selling Crown molding. Well I wasn't 212 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: selling it. 213 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: I had an outside salesperson that was making the cell 214 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: like he was selling it to the customers. One that 215 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: the warehouse fill the order answered the phone. 216 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: If it was damaged, I would send a replacement, like that. 217 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: Was my job. 218 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 4: You drove Uber around Tennessee University of Tennessee. I did, Yeah, 219 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 4: So I was like, what what crazy Uber stories do 220 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: you have? How many people throw up in your back seat? 221 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 4: There's no way you could drop Uber around a college 222 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 4: down and not have the insane stories I had I had. 223 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: I only had one person throw up in my back seat. 224 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 2: That was the nightmare. 225 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: But what's funny is actually I was in Knoxville and 226 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to move back to Atlanta. And the man 227 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: that hired me at wood Grain, he was my passenger 228 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: in Uber. That's how I got that job. 229 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's crazy. 230 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, like crazy series of events. But he got 231 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: in the car and I was like, you know, where 232 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: are you from? You know me, I'm a talker, so 233 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, where are you from? And he's like, I'm 234 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: from Georgia. 235 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, me too. 236 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: I went to Beauford High School and one of my 237 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: teammates worked for him at Woodgrain and he was like, oh, 238 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: what's your What was your major? I said communication studies 239 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, well I work at this company. 240 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: Here's my card. And I was so ready to move 241 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: back to Atlanta. It was full time, it had benefits, 242 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: it was a salary job. Yeah, and I moved back 243 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: to Atlanta. So that's probably my craziest Uber story because honestly, 244 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: the ubers were pretty chillin Knoxville. I never I drove 245 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: during the day a lot, so I never really. 246 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: Had any issues. 247 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this during the day is safe. 248 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 4: I don't want to throw my guy under the bus here. 249 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 4: I'm happy to throw me. I'm happy he's being respectful 250 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 4: to our lovely guest here. But Maul believes that women 251 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 4: should not drive uber. 252 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 3: At night at night. See he's trying to frame that like, 253 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 3: I don't think women are good drivers. 254 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 4: No, any of the sentence with stay in the kitchen. 255 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: No, I believe that it's not safe for women to 256 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: drive ubers at night. I don't think that women should 257 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 3: drive ubers at night. And you said during the day 258 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 3: you drove, so you kind of are on my side there. 259 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: I drove during the day because I didn't want to 260 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: drive at night. I'm also not the greatest driver. 261 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: But I respect that for my schedule. 262 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: I would just say myself, I'm not the I know 263 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: a lot of women that are great drivers, but I don't. 264 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: I mean, I think anybody's at risk driving Hooper at night, honestly. 265 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 3: See, yeah, no, for sure. But it's just like a 266 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 3: woman picking up strangers at night. Something about that just 267 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: doesn't seem right. 268 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 4: They should be selling crom molding. 269 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: From the comfort of their home and their beautiful nook 270 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 3: and their loft. Yes, exactly, that is what women should 271 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: be doing so. Looking at your backdrop, you seem like 272 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: you have OCD, Andrea like you look like you're very 273 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: like in order. They look like if somebody takes a 274 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 3: book off your shelf, you will notice it immediately. I 275 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 3: saw that you have one hundred and ninety nine career 276 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: steals at Tennessee. How much is that one steal for 277 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 3: two hundred careers sitting on you? 278 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: Like? 279 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: Fuck? 280 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is I didn't know I had 281 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety nine, But as soon as. 282 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: You said that my OCD. Yeah yeah, when I read it, 283 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 3: I have OCD. When I read it, I was like, 284 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 3: this has to be killing her. 285 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's annoying. I actually wish you wouldn't have. 286 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 4: Told me you have her suit up just. 287 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 3: War No, I can't do it. 288 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: I couldnot do it. I would get negative like no, 289 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: can't do it now. But that two hundred would have 290 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: been great. 291 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 3: Oh man, one is just like that's like scoring forty 292 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: nine and coach takes you out. It's like, what are 293 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: you doing? Like I got to get this fifty ball? 294 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 3: Speaking of Tennessee, how was it playing for the legendary 295 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 3: rest in piece of the legendary coach patch Summit. You 296 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 3: were actually one of her the last signees that I 297 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: think played on the coach Summit. How was it playing 298 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 3: for legendary coach summit? 299 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Pat was amazing. 300 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: So I actually I committed as a sophomore. Tennessee was 301 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: where I knew I wanted to go, like that was 302 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: my dream school. I was recruited by Pat, got to nowhere, 303 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: committed to her. But my senior year was you know, 304 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: when she made the announcement about her diagnosis. So my 305 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: freshman year was actually her head coach emeritis year, so 306 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: she was still around, okay, But Holly, my my first 307 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: four years, my four years in college were Holly Warlick's 308 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: first four years as a head coach. So it was 309 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: actually an interesting transition because the coaches, you know, Pat Daja, 310 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: Charles Furlough, the coaches that I talked to the most, 311 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: actually weren't my coaches at Tennessee. They got the new 312 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: staff and they were still great and I had an 313 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: amazing time. But I can say that in getting to 314 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: know Pat and spending time with her, although it wasn't 315 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: necessarily coach player on the court, there was still a 316 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: lot of influence in connection and closeness and a lot 317 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: of love and support. I learned a lot from her, 318 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: just in being recruited by her, spending time in her home, 319 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: spending time with. 320 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: Her in Knoxville. 321 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: I would go watch their practices because it's a quick 322 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: drive from Atlanta to Knoxville, so I would go up 323 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: there a lot, and I would get to watch her, 324 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: obviously before everything happened with her and her health. But 325 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: it's I never take that time for granted, and the 326 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: time that I did have is still very influential for me, 327 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: for sure. 328 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: I love that. 329 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 4: What was the culture difference going from metro Atlanta up 330 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 4: to Knoxville. 331 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. It was pretty different, just 332 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: in terms of the there's more twang, there was more country, 333 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: there was more you know culturally that those things were different. 334 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: But where I grew up in Beauford, and I grew 335 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: up in Gwennette County and Flowery Branch, I had family 336 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and I would spend time with, you know, 337 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: all of all of my family, but even that was 338 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: more Conyers, Covington, Lathonia, like all of those areas. But 339 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: for me, I think I adjusted well out of Tennessee. 340 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: The high school I went to was very mixed and blended, 341 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: and you know, so it wasn't It didn't feel as 342 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: much of a culture shock for me when I got 343 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: to Knoxville. 344 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: I hear that which one of your you know, doing 345 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: analyst work and sideline work with ESPN, obviously you get 346 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 3: to spend a lot of time around different people there. 347 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: Which one of your co hosts would you say has 348 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 3: the worst take or taste in music? Like you just 349 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: hear them, You hear what they're listening to, and you're like, 350 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 3: please turn that off. 351 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: You know, I couldn't tell you who has the worst 352 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: because El Duncan always has the OX and l has. 353 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: Phenomenal tastes of music. Okay, honestly like. 354 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: Her her taste. 355 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: No one ever has the OX like, no one has ever. 356 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: Asked for the OX. No one has ever. You know, 357 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: Holly Row one time asked for the OX, but it 358 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: was because it was a Sunday and she wanted to 359 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: play gospel music, which we were fine with them. 360 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 3: So you gotta be fine with that. You can't argue 361 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 3: with Jesus, you can't do that. 362 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, But other than that, El Duncan always has 363 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: the OX on the men's college side. Jay Will usually 364 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: has the OX and he knows what's good. 365 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't think. 366 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't think I've gotten to experience anyone's bad taste 367 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: in music because we just we know, we know what 368 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: is Will playing the OX, and I can match the 369 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: room whatever, whatever, whatever the room needs, I can get there. 370 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 3: Okay. So you read the room, you kind of see 371 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 3: who's in there, and you're like, Okay, I can go 372 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: with this artist. I can go with that arts. But 373 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 3: Jay Will, I don't know something about Jay Will with 374 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 3: the AX. I'm like he's Jersey, right. Yeah, he's also 375 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 3: a dookie though, but it's I've never I don't know 376 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: if I trust dookies with the ax chord. 377 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: He's never played a song, and I'm like, Jay Will 378 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: Will turn this off, like I can honestly say, like 379 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: he's never he's never just ruined it. My taste in music, 380 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: I probably would say I have the most range, but 381 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: that's because I listened to literally everything growing up. Like 382 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: people say they have range and they don't and they don't. 383 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, I would just give Elle to flip that 384 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: question because I don't know who has the worst. 385 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: But Elle is trusted on the OX. 386 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 4: I feel like Jay Will only probably listens to like 387 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 4: Na's Hove Cameron because he's older too, so they has 388 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 4: to be different and culturally Jersey. I just feel like 389 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 4: he wouldn't listen to if you throw crime mob on, 390 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 4: I feel like he'd leave the. 391 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 3: Studio that's. 392 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 2: Never asked him to listen to crime. 393 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: But I also feel like Coach K wouldn't allow you 394 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 4: to listen to music, so maybe he missed like a 395 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 4: whole gap Coach K. 396 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: Coach K is cool. 397 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 4: He's one of a quiet locker room. 398 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 3: No, no, you can't have a quiet locker room. We're 399 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 3: not doing a quiet locker room. 400 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: It's funny though, like we were at one of Duke's 401 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: shoot arounds and practices and they were playing music while 402 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: they were warming up and playing all types of music, 403 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: and Jaywill was like, this is a little different. Like 404 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: when they warmed up, it was like you know when 405 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: you're like one, two, three, you're counting out loud and 406 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: that right. 407 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, because Coach K is a military he's a military guy, 408 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: so everything has to be kind of like you know. 409 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: I do think maybe locker room had music, but the 410 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: on court has evolved for from what I've been told 411 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: at Duke. 412 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 3: How much has the uh the women's side of the NCAA. 413 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 3: Obviously with Caitlin Clark and Angelies having their quote unquote rivalry. 414 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 3: I think what they did for women's basketball is amazing 415 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 3: on both levels college and WNBA. I think that they've 416 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: brought in a whole different audience. But as somebody that's 417 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 3: played and now on the sideline watching it, how do 418 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 3: you think they've been able to elevate an impact? First 419 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 3: of all the audience and just the way the game 420 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 3: is played. 421 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just the game has grown so much, 422 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: And I do think the growth in audience and the 423 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: way that now it is known and trusted that these 424 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: players are marketable and these players will sell whatever products 425 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: you want them to sell. These players and these women 426 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: are that talented and they're that good, and people are 427 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: that interested in these players on and off the court. Like, 428 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: I think that's probably you don't we Now we don't 429 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: have to convince whether it's brands or investors or people 430 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: will buying ads, Like, we don't have to convince them 431 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: that it is. 432 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: Worth buying this or worth investing in this. 433 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: Like I think that's you know, we actually have people 434 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: wanting in, they want to be involved, and they want 435 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: to know more, and whether it's even even shows like 436 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: different shows on ESPN now want women's basketball topics, and 437 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: you know, more people want in, and more people recognize 438 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: the skill, the value, the talent, the marketability, all of that. 439 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: So it's it's been incredible, you know, Like I've talked 440 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: about how a few seasons ago, I could go through 441 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: March Madness and not have many requests outside of the 442 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: shows that we're doing. And now we're moving through March 443 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: Madness and it's like, oh, well, this show wants you 444 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: at this time, and then can you help on Good 445 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: Morning America early in the morning, and can you can 446 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: you hop on first take and get up and that 447 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: you know, there's a want there and there's an interests there. 448 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: And I think it was always growing, and I think, 449 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: you know that moment with Caitlyn and with Angel and 450 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: that Final four and that National championship and all of 451 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: that and how it's carried over, it's just exploded and 452 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: now the wheel is turning and supporting itself. You know, 453 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: like before it would be like, well people don't want 454 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: to invest because there's not that much visibility. 455 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: They aren't sure if to get a return. 456 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: Now there is visibility, the fans are engaged, and there's investment, 457 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: and the talent is absolutely ridiculous. 458 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 3: So everything, everything is clicking. 459 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, everything. Yeah. 460 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 3: Actually, the women's I believe the women's championship game had 461 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 3: more viewers than the men's last year. 462 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 4: Correct, I think so? 463 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 3: Which is crazy? 464 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 2: That number it wasn't I mean high millions, like not 465 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: twenty millions, but it was. It was up there. It 466 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 2: was very Was it nineteen million? I don't want to 467 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 2: get there. 468 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 3: It was closed. I think it was eighteen for sure. 469 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: I think it was a little over eighteen million. 470 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: It was an insane number. Absolutely. 471 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 4: Have you chosen a side yet, Lebron James or Stephen A. 472 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 3: Smith? 473 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I just let them hash it out. 474 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: That's between Stephen and Lebron. That don't have anything to 475 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: do with. 476 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 4: Me as a broadcaster though. I mean we discussed on 477 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 4: our podcast too, because we go through similar things. We 478 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 4: do have relationships with artists and labels or whatever, so 479 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 4: we run into stuff like that as well. But we 480 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 4: still need to be able to speak freely because we 481 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 4: talk every day about the genre. Do you think broadcasters 482 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 4: will hold back a little bit more now now that 483 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 4: Lebron is confronting people courtside. 484 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if broadcasters will hold back. I just think, 485 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 2: like I know, for me personally, as. 486 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: A broadcaster, I always just have to make sure what 487 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying is coming from the right place, like it's 488 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: that it's not personal, it's coming from a place of 489 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm calling it how I see it, Like I'm very 490 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: much one too. If I see a team doing one 491 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: thing and I call it out and then they change it, 492 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: I'll be sure to acknowledge the change and acknowledge them 493 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: and acknowledge that because when I do have to stand 494 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: in front of a team or I do have to 495 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: stand in front of a coach that I've spoken about, 496 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: I can stand strong on my foundation that I'm just 497 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: calling it how I see it, you know. 498 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: And I think that maybe this situation. 499 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: And players calling out broadcasters or Lebron calling out steven A, 500 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: I hope it brings an awareness to everyone that you 501 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: could get called out, and if you do get called out, 502 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: you need to make sure or you should make sure 503 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: that you can stand on what you said and the 504 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: reason that you said what you said was valid and 505 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: not personal or not trying to get off on something else, 506 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Like, that's kind of my take 507 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: on all of this, because it's not an easy place 508 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: to be. There are a lot of people who can 509 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: say a lot of things and never have to face 510 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: the athlete. 511 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: They never have to they never have to face the artist, 512 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 2: you know. 513 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: But I picked final four teams, and unless I get 514 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: my final four right, I will be interviewing teams that 515 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: I didn't think they were going to make it in 516 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: and so I stand on my reasoning for why I 517 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: didn't think that and then give them credit for making 518 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: making it Final four. 519 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: So it's it's it is a tricky place to be, 520 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 2: but it's yeah. 521 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: I think just trusting where your information and opinion comes 522 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: from and standing on that has been the biggest thing. 523 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 4: Have you avoided any huddles before? Based off some things 524 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 4: you said in the past, I definitely skipped concerts that 525 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 4: I wanted to go to because I was like, eh, 526 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 4: I said, I said some crazy shit, I probably shouldn't 527 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 4: go over there. 528 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 3: I wanted to, but they wouldn't let me go. 529 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 4: Definitely, picture up. 530 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: No, I haven't. I haven't avoided anything. Luckily, I think 531 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: it would give me. I think the only way I 532 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: would avoid anything is if I said something that didn't 533 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: come from a good place, like if I most of 534 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: my everything I say is from analysistics because I've watched 535 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: it and I I feel it and I believe it, 536 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: and if I'm right, I'm right, and if I'm wrong, 537 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm okay. 538 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: With being wrong, you know. So for me, I've never 539 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 2: had to avoid anyone. 540 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: There have been some situations where I'm like, hey, I 541 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: didn't think y'all were going to make it congratulations, right, 542 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: or like I didn't think that because of this, or 543 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: you know, but I've never I haven't had to avoid anything. 544 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: I think I would only avoid it if I knew 545 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: I was in the wrong where it came from a 546 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: bad place, and I haven't been fortunate enough where you know, 547 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: because I think sometimes people not saying that you did this, 548 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: sometimes people just get really caught up and then they 549 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: just say something that maybe they didn't. 550 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 2: Actually I do it all the time. 551 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 4: I love doing That's actually like the theme of the podcast. 552 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's not me. 553 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: You know. I've never had a situation where I've had 554 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: to be like, hey, I did not mean to say that. 555 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, Like everything that has been very much 556 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: what I've seen, what I've watched, what I feel. 557 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 3: Is there like a a secret kind of I guess 558 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: beef could be the word between because what I've noticed 559 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 3: over the last year, and I actually love it, is 560 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 3: that more and more former players and athletes are getting 561 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 3: these analyst jobs and getting these jobs with these you know, 562 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 3: these spots on ESPN. Is there like a little beef 563 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 3: between writers and like former players who are now coming 564 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 3: in and taking these analyst jobs because I love the 565 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 3: fact that you have former players that are able to 566 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 3: speak from actually playing the game and actually being in 567 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: these situations when it comes to whether it's March Madness 568 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 3: or the NBA playoffs versus a writer that's just great 569 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 3: at just you know, writing things about players and teams 570 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 3: and it's like, yeah, but you've never been in that situation, 571 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 3: which I also think is a big part of steven 572 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 3: A and Lebron's think. I think that the fact that 573 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 3: steven A isn't a player a former player and he 574 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 3: speaks about former players the way he does and you 575 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 3: know things like that, I think that had a lot 576 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 3: to do with Lebron's being upset about what he said, 577 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 3: But is there like a little kind of like tension 578 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 3: between writers and former players come in and getting these analysts. 579 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: I've never experienced any attention on the writer's side. 580 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: I do think that sometimes as an analyst or as 581 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: a former player, you know, I'll run into a coach 582 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: or somebody that is very mad about something that a 583 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: writer put out, and for me, I'm like, I didn't 584 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: write that, Like I didn't or I either agree or 585 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: I don't agree, or this is what I think about that. 586 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: So I have found myself explaining or catching heat for 587 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: something that's been put out on it as an article, right, 588 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: But that's that's not how I feel, right, And so 589 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: there are there are writers for ESPN that write their 590 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: opinion and they write their analysis, and sometimes people look 591 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: at us as the on air and they're like looking 592 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: at us sideways because of something that came out. But 593 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: it's not that wasn't my work, that wasn't my analysis. 594 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 2: That wasn't my take. 595 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: But I don't I don't know. There's no beef on 596 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: my end, but I don't. I don't have very much 597 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: beef at all. 598 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: But it is interesting to. 599 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: Have different perspectives coming from different outlets. And hopefully the 600 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: people at home can decide whose opinion or analysis they 601 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: trust more. But that is, there are definitely more opinions, 602 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: more pieces of analysis than there ever has been, especially 603 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: on the women's side, Like more people want to speak 604 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: on the women's game and give their thoughts and give 605 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,239 Speaker 1: their opinions, and a lot of them don't have as 606 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: much contextual knowledge or historical. 607 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 2: Knowledge as others. 608 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: And so I think, really, if there was beef, it 609 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: would be from the audience and them deciding who they 610 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: want to listen to, because there's just a. 611 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: Lot of noise and there are a lot of takes 612 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: that they're having been before. 613 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 3: But now that it is march madness, who are some 614 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 3: of the players that you're looking at? And as a 615 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 3: formal player yourself saying him, I wish I had the 616 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: opportunity to match up against her. 617 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't know if I would 618 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: want to match up in any of these players. Not 619 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: like these these players, these women are so talented, Like 620 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: I haven't once I've maybe thought of maybe how I 621 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: would try to guard them or just try to make 622 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: life difficult on some of the players. But for me, 623 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: like those players are really just when it comes down 624 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: to it, the ones I enjoy watching the most, Like 625 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: I find myself more fascinated by how talented they are 626 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: and how skilled they are, And as someone that couldn't 627 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: do a lot of the moves that I'm seeing, I'm 628 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: not thinking about how to defend them. 629 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about how they do them, Like how do 630 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 2: you do that? 631 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: That is so much harder than people think it is, 632 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: Like I don't think people at home understand the degree 633 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: of difficulty of some of these moves and how quickly 634 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: these players it's almost like instinct, Like it is not 635 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: easy to do a crossover and then switch your feet 636 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: into a step back and then go right into your. 637 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: Shot, Like that type of stuff isn't it's not easy to. 638 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: Go off your same foot because it's natural to go 639 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: off your opposite and go off the same side leg 640 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: because you're trying to miss time a block from the defender. 641 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 3: That's right. 642 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: Like to me, I rarely think about matching up with them, 643 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: because I'm really thinking about like how good they are, 644 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: Like it was it's so much fun, like Juju page 645 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: my lage to full Wiley with how crafty she is, 646 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: Like it would be fun to try to defend them 647 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: and try to make life hard on them. But to me, 648 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: they have the advantage because of how good they are 649 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: with the ball. Like, those are the players that manipulate 650 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: the defense. Like you know, as a defender, you want 651 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: to dictate the offensive player. That was my main job 652 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: at Tennessee was to guard the best player. Dictate what 653 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: she does on offense, take away her tendencies, take away 654 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: her strengths. Like that was my role. And these players 655 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: now dictate the defense, and that's that's fun for me 656 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: to watch. 657 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 3: This is uh the the girl that plays at Rutgers 658 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 3: is it Kyomi mc miller. Her game is absolutely insane, 659 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 3: Like I don't know if y'all have ever seen this, 660 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 3: this this this girl play. The ship she's doing is 661 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 3: like this is NBA two K Street Jam created player. 662 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 3: Like she's doing things that honestly, if I would see 663 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 3: a men's player doing that and a coach pulling them 664 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 3: out the game because it's like she's doing stuff that's like, Yo, 665 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 3: you're not supposed to be doing that. This is like 666 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 3: college basketball. This is not the park. Her game on 667 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 3: another level, though, Like her game is absolutely like and 668 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 3: I saw her a friend of mine he's a he's 669 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,479 Speaker 3: a scout for the Brooklyn Nets, and he played college 670 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 3: and pro ball. And he sent me one of her 671 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: highlight reels and I'm like, yo, is this really? I 672 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 3: couldn't believe what she was doing at the at the 673 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 3: collegiate level. Also, Juju is another one of my favorite 674 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 3: players players to watch. I think that you know, she's 675 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 3: obviously along with Caitlin and Angel, what they and Juju, 676 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 3: what they've been able to do for women's collegiate basketball 677 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 3: is to me. It made me want to honestly watch 678 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 3: women's college basketball a lot more. And I grew up 679 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: watching it. U Shamikah Holsklaw from New York City, Tennessee volunteer. 680 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 3: She was another one of the players that I like 681 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 3: growing up. But now that it is march mandis, who 682 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 3: are the teams that you're looking at? Andrea Like, okay, 683 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 3: these are the four teams to beat? 684 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 2: How many teams? 685 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: Obviously South Carolina like the way that don Staley has 686 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: depth and talent and more than forty points coming off 687 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: of her bench. 688 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, there are just many teams who can match that. 689 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: Like, you might play well against the starting five, but 690 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 1: whoever's coming in next? Because you're starting five is going 691 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: to get tired. Whoever's coming in. Don has more starters 692 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: coming in. Coach Staley has more, she has another starting unit. 693 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: So I think the South Carolina, any team that wants 694 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: to beat South Carolina would have to make a ton 695 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: of shots, like there's just such little room for air 696 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: going against South Carolina. You have to make the most 697 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: of every opportunity because of the depth that they have. 698 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 2: I'm really interested in. 699 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: I've said whoever comes out of the USC Yukon region, 700 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: which I just can't stand that they're in the same 701 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: region because I think that is a. 702 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: Final four matchup. It's not eight matchup. 703 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: It's too early in the bracket. But that team I'm 704 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: really interested in it being their time to make a run. 705 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: Ucla is interesting. They have six seven, they have the size, 706 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: and they have shooters around her. It was Carolyn Peck 707 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: I believe, who made the point that UCLA UCLA this 708 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: year is similar to South Carolina last year in terms 709 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: of South Carolina. Camilla Cardoso who was the ankle. She 710 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: was six seven and it was so hard to peet 711 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: with that in the middle. But then you round that 712 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: player with a ton of talent that's what UCLA has. 713 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 1: UCLA hasn't been there before, so that's going to be interesting. 714 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: How do they handle that moment? And I'm interested in 715 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: Texas and TCU and Notre Dame who comes out of 716 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: that region, So those would be probably the teams I'm 717 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: looking at the most. 718 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 3: Is there any any team who you feel like people 719 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 3: need to pay attention to this in this women's tournament? 720 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,959 Speaker 3: A team that many people may not be speaking about, 721 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 3: but as a former player and as analyst, you're looking 722 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 3: at like they have pieces and they're not afraid and 723 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 3: they might upset one of these bigger programs. 724 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Florida State is a team. I mean they have 725 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: the best scorer in the nation in tonight at Latson. 726 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: They've got Timpson on the inside, who is a workhorse. 727 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: They're a team that upset Notre Dame. At Notre Dame, 728 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: and I mean Tonai Latson is putting up twenty five. 729 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: She's averaging twenty five points a game, So she's the 730 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: type of player that you let her go off. 731 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 2: She is someone that has led the country in. 732 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 1: Scoring all season and they haven't had as much success 733 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: as a team. But I don't think people have talked 734 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: about her enough. TCU is a team that has a 735 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: big three, this Haley van Lift and what she's been 736 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: able to do with that team the pick and roll game. 737 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: They have six seven on the inside, so they're a 738 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: really interesting team to me. I had my eye on 739 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 1: Kentucky as a team because Kenny Brooks led Virginia Tech 740 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: to a Final four and he is an excellent coach. 741 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 2: Him and his point guard are very connected. 742 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: His point guard is a w NBA draft pick that 743 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: a lot of coaches have talked to me about when 744 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: it comes to going to the w Georgia Amore is 745 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: her name. I was interested in that team until I 746 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: saw that they were in USC and Yukon's bracket, and 747 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: then I was like. 748 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, it's tough to get past that. Yeah, that one, that. 749 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: One might be tough, But yeah, I think I think 750 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: Florida State is a very interesting LSU is always interesting, 751 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: and I know people talk about LSU a lot, but 752 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: the way that Flaje Johnson and Anissa Morrow and Mikayla Williams, 753 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: when I talk about a big three, like those three 754 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: they all average fifteen and then Flaje and MICHAELA. 755 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 2: Williams, they can go get a bucket at any time. 756 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: There. Yeah, there are so many teams. NC State made 757 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: a run last year. They've got really dynamic guards. So yeah, 758 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: it's I could keep going. 759 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 3: So it sounds like it sounds like you like South 760 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 3: Carolina again and Yukon. 761 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: If I had to pick a national championship, it's it is. 762 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: I would say the line is so thin between Yukon 763 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: and USC. But there is something about being there before. 764 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: And almost everyone on this Yukon team has been there before, 765 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: and even the players that come off the bench, even 766 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: the role players, they they know what it takes, and 767 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: that to me, they have a little more experience from 768 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: the guard position. 769 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 2: Their pieces fit. 770 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: Juju is phenomenal. 771 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 2: She is, you know, incredible. 772 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 1: I just think it would take a lot, but I 773 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: would honestly love to see either of them in the 774 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: final four. But if I had to pick two, I 775 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 1: would say South Carolina Yukon for the national Championship. 776 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 4: Before we get out of here, I do want to 777 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 4: add with some music questions. We did a versus series 778 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,919 Speaker 4: with pac Man, who's also from Georgia, so I wanted 779 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 4: to do a iteration of that with you.
