So, Taylor, I'm sixteen years old. 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: I turned sixteen in September, and so far, I've been 8 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: loving it. I've been whipping around all the time, like 9 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: driving is my new favorite thing. It's a little scary that, 10 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: like I have that responsibility, but I still love it. 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: Did you get your license right when you turn sixteen? 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: Or yes? Okay, so I did? 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 2: And first off, you are sixteen years young girl, Now 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: that I am here one why we were that age 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: were even saying we're all so much life is ahead 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: of you. But yes, I got my license right when 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: I turned sixteen. But the first time that I took 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: my test I failed because I did not. 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: Know so did park. 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: I also felt it and further record very rarely in 21 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: my parallel parking, so that being a prerequisite was annoying 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: at the time, But yes, I didn't know how to 23 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: parallel park, failed it my first. 24 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: Time, and I me and my mom take me back. 25 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: Like two days later, I warped on and I said, 26 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to perfect this in two days. 27 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: Figured it out. 28 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: Ended up passing, of course, But yeah, I mean, when 29 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 2: you turn sixteen, being able to dry feels like just 30 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: this new sense of freedom and just kind of autonomy, 31 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 2: and it feels it feels really. 32 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: Really nice to get that license. Other than being a 33 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: new driver at sixteen, what were you like, Like, what 34 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: was your vibe? Were you outgoing? Were you shy? 35 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I doubt you were shy. I definitely wasn't shy. 36 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: We're not shy, but I wasn't shy. And I have 37 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: always loved people, and I've always enjoyed just talking to people. 38 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: When I was in high school, I actually got voted 39 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: most likely to be remembered. I really enjoyed just like 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: making people feel good about themselves and also just like 41 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: the fellowship that comes with your friends in high school 42 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: was really important to me. I really do feel like 43 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: I can anyone and be friends with them, and I 44 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: was that way when I was sixteen. I'd say I 45 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: also wasn't you know. I wasn't a perfect kid by 46 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: any means. When I was fifteen, I went in a 47 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: garage and got like two tattoos. My mom is still 48 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: mad at me. I got like a moon and stars 49 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: on my neck, such a basic test. 50 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: That's cute. I liked that. Don't worry, I'm any ideas. 51 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is not me advocating for anyone to go 52 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: into a garage to get tattooed. It's just my bad experience. 53 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: I got one on my wrists and I go on 54 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: right here. So it was just like, luckily it was 55 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: nothing so crazy that I regret it a lot, but 56 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: certainly made some mistakes at that age too. Something really 57 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: stood out to me about what you said about how 58 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: you just love to talk, because I love to talk 59 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: and people always ask me, they're like, how did you 60 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: get into this? Like it's sort of you know, like 61 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: sometimes I think people who have interests like me maybe 62 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: would go into like acting or singing or something along 63 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: the lines of that. And I was like, well, I 64 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: love to talk and I love to be Slowan. I 65 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: don't want to be anyone else. 66 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: I just want to talk as Slowan, and I feel 67 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: like it's so cool to be able to have role 68 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: models like you who have that same idea where you 69 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: just want to share your voice. I really appreciate that. 70 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 71 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: Thanks, Yeah, and it's really good. 72 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: I was going to say, it's really good that you 73 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: know that now and understand that the power in your 74 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: voice is actually the power of you, because sometimes people 75 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: do get that confused. And when you look at like 76 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: any sports personality or really just media personality that you like, 77 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: the reason you feel that way is because there's something 78 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: about them that feels relatable to you or feels like 79 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: you can connect with. There's something about them that makes 80 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: you feel like you know them. And I think that 81 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: the earlier you know that the power is in being sloan, 82 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: the more open your career will be to you. 83 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: So you're ahead of the curve just knowing that. Thank you. 84 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: We'll speaking of that.

That's who pops into 141 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: my head right now. I had like a fifty cent phase. 142 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: I don't know, but okay, yeah, that is like a 143 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: very sixteen year old I answer me because that what 144 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: sixteen would have been like two thousand and eight, two 145 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: thousand and seven ish if my math is right my 146 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: birth Yeah, I'm like I can't fully totally. Yeah, so 147 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: that was just a different era. Like we all had 148 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: on big bagging white teas and so that was whoever 149 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: had the biggest white tea was who I liked? 150 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: No NBA players at sixteen, No, no NBA players. I 151 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: remember thinking, well, okay, I will say this. 152 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: Growing up in Georgia, I was just obsessed with Michael Vick. Okay, 153 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: so I would say, okay, this is the person for everything. 154 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: So Michael Vick is probably my answer to any of 155 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: those questions. So on the NFL side, of course. 156 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, what was her first interaction with the pro athlete 157 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: or like when was it? What age were you when? Yes? 158 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: Have that hmm, So my uncle played for the Cardinals. 159 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: My uncle's name is lou Brock. He was a Hall 160 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: of Famer for the Saint Louis Cardinals. So every now 161 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: and then, yes, every now and then when we'd go 162 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: up there, we'd be around, you know, some of his 163 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: like former teammates and things like that. So I remember 164 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: meeting them. 165 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: Have you met Michael Vick? 166 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: I have? 167 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: And what was that? 168 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: And that was a big moment for me when I 169 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: met him because when I met him, he had seen 170 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: some of the stuff, so he'd like he had knew 171 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: me when I met. 172 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: Him, So that was really cool. 173 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: But I think the first time that I met a 174 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: professional athlete it was maybe it's a man named Stephen Atwater. 175 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: He is also a Hall of Famer. He played for 176 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: the Broncos. But he's really good friends with my dad, 177 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: and I remember meeting him. 178 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: I think that's that's probably the first one. So we 179 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: talked about you when you were sixteen. I feel like friends, 180 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: Like I feel like, oh my gosh, totally totally we're 181 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: already like I already, you feel it, you feel it. 182 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: I love interviewing the NBA players, but like me and you, 183 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: this is this is real talk. I think we'd be 184 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: locked in for sure. We would sit and talk and 185 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: not too else. Yeah, yeah, it all talks about us, shure. 186 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: I like, so now let's move on to you now. 187 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, I look up to you so much, 188 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: and it's such a pleasure to be able to have 189 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: you here, and like I think, like for me, what's 190 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: really cool is that because sort of what I'm doing 191 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 2: isn't usual for someone at sixteen, I'm not able to 192 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 2: really connect to that many people. Like I feel like 193 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: I have stories and thoughts that I try to explain 194 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 2: to other people, but it's not fully heard. 195 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: So it's so cool to be able to talk to 196 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: someone like you who's really been through something super similar. 197 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: But anyways, what was your welcome to the league moment? 198 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: In your sense of your league? You know you're what 199 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: you cover? 200 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I would say my welcome to the league 201 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: moment was All Star weekend and twenty twelve. It was 202 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: in Orlando, and I had been emailing the NBA a 203 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 2: bunch of times to get them to just like credential 204 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: meet to go for whatever reason, they said yes. So 205 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 2: my friend and I drove from Champion, Illinois all the 206 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: way down to Orlando to just like it was long 207 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: enough that we had to stay the night in Georgia, 208 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: Like it was ten hours from Illinois to Georgia. We 209 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: stayed at my mom's and then we went from Georgia 210 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: to Orlando, and I think that was maybe six hours 211 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 2: or so, so it was broken up. But I went 212 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: there and it was the first time I had really 213 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: been a part of a scrum. So it was where 214 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: you know, the NBA players right there and the reporters 215 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: are just around, so I was able to talk to 216 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: like Dwyane Wade was there, and kd was there, Lebron 217 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: was there, Kobe was there. That was the first and 218 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 2: only time I got to really interact with Kobe. So 219 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 2: it's obviously very special to me for those reasons as well. 220 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: But it was also the first time that I had 221 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: been in a real professional media setting, like all of 222 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 2: the major outlets were in this place, and I realized 223 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: really how hard it is to ask a good question. 224 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: I remember thinking that that when I would go from 225 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: scrum to scrum to scrum, I was hearing the same 226 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 2: question asked in just different ways, and you were getting 227 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: the same sort of answers from the people and so 228 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: it was that moment that I said I wanted to 229 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: challenge myself in the ways that I asked certain questions 230 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: so that my work isn't the exact same as every 231 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: other person that was in that scrum. But what I 232 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: remember most honestly about that moment was how difficult it 233 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: was to be able to get people to speak to you. 234 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: And I remember that Kevin Durant gave me time to 235 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 2: talk to him when nobody else did. It was the 236 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: first time I had met Kadi, and he saw that 237 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: I was like this little student trying to get answers, 238 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: and I asked if I could talk to him, and 239 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: the people around him were like, no, he has to go, 240 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 2: but he. 241 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: Said, she can ask me some questions. 242 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 2: So that was the first time I met him, and 243 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 2: we have been friends ever since. And I always say, 244 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: when you are coming up in this you're used to 245 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: really hearing people say no. So I really latched onto 246 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: that yes, And so I would say that was. 247 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: Sort of the welcome to the league moment for me. 248 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: And in that moment when you want to ask a 249 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: question that he remembers, how do you sort of go 250 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: at that, like what do you think about what do 251 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: you want to ask? Because what do you want to know? Yeah? 252 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I will say in that moment, I 253 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: still was not asking good questions. So theod question that 254 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: I asked him, I think, you know it was what 255 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: I would call like a level one question or a 256 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: basic question, because also I was like in this frenzy 257 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: like okay, he said, yes, what don't just do what 258 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: am I going to ask? But now it's like, when 259 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: I'm approaching the interviews, I really want to figure out 260 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: ways to use answers that they have given to propel 261 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 2: a story forward. And I just didn't have that presence 262 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 2: of mind or that kind of thinking when I was 263 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: that age Like you, I mean, I know you're not 264 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: in college yet, but you are light years ahead of 265 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: even when I where I was then because so much 266 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 2: of it, as I'm sure you know now, it's the 267 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: getting reps of it, like yeah, you have to keep 268 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: doing it over and over and over, and at that 269 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: time I didn't have the reps, so it's you have 270 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 2: to really practice. But I knew from that moment at 271 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: All Star that I had to practice this the same 272 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: way that athletes practice what they do. 273 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: For sure. No, I think like practicing a craft like 274 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: this is difficult because I find myself sometimes so interested 275 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: in what you know, the person sitting in the chair 276 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: that I'm interviewing is saying that I forget. 277 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: I'm like too busy thinking about what they're saying to 278 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 2: then ask a question back. 279 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: You know, when you get into this moment where you're like, 280 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: oh god, I'm stuck. And I think, for me, like 281 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: that's a big thing that I want to try to 282 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: work on, is because I when I think of a question, 283 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: I hope and I think it's usually good. Yeah, but 284 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: it just takes me a while because I'm so like 285 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: like starstruck. I guess, how were you able to deal 286 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: with those nerves? Yeah? 287 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, first I would say tip for if 288 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: you're ever just like listening to somebody, you maybe got 289 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: lost in the conversation because you were so you know, 290 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: intently giving them attention. You can't think sometimes just saying oh, 291 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: like why or what does you mean by that? It's 292 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: like a simple thing that you can ask that allows 293 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: him to expand and also gives you time to figure 294 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 2: out how you want to progress the conversation forward. But 295 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: I think for me, approaching all of the conversations like 296 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: that person is my friend helps me with any sort 297 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: of nerve and also just with making the conversation seem 298 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: more seamless. It's like, what would be the next question 299 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: that you asked your friend and that situation and that 300 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 2: helps construct the interview wells too. 301 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: I love that. And what's the most impactful thing that 302 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: a player has said to you in an interview or 303 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: something that really stuck with you. 304 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: So it wasn't even that he was intentionally doing this, 305 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: but I was interviewing Jason Tatum and we were talking 306 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: about how he went to. 307 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: What is it called? He went to Jamal Crawford's pro. 308 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: Am, and we're talking about what it was like when 309 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: Lebron would walk into the building and how everybody would 310 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: go crazy and it would just it was such a 311 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: moment when he walked in, and Jason says, you know, 312 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: when Lebron walks in, it's a different thing. Like I 313 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: think I'm a big deal, but when Lebron comes in, 314 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 2: it's different. And Jason so easily just said I'm a 315 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: big deal. That I felt so inspired by that, like genuinely, like, 316 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: I mean, he knows who he is and it just 317 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: really reminded me that like, when you are good at something, 318 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: you should not feel like you can't. 319 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: Say it out loud. Yeah. 320 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: So he wasn't even trying to like say an answer 321 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: an interview or give me any sort of advice, but 322 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 2: it was the way that he spoke about himself is 323 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: how I think that we should all speak about ourselves. 324 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: He didn't even think twice saying that like. 325 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: He's a big deal or that he's good at what 326 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: he does, and I think that women don't always do that, 327 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 2: and so it just really pushed me to say, like 328 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 2: you have to stand in what your talent is, and 329 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: stand in what your capabilities are and say them matter 330 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: of factly, yeah, because they are effect. 331 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: To Yeah, And that's that's really important to me. So 332 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: nice to hear from me, because I think that sometimes 333 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: I find myself saying things where I think, if you know, 334 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: a man said it, there would be a very different 335 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: answer from you know, my following. And I know there 336 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: was this one example where right when the Dame trade happened, 337 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: I made a video about how I thought the Bucks 338 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: were just gonna be a horrible defensive team, and which 339 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, that was my opinion and like I'm 340 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: obviously entitled to have my opinion, and like I got 341 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: like obligated. Like people were like, that is the dumbest 342 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. You're an idiot. Women should young women, 343 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: women should not have any voice in sports or whatever, 344 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: and like, obviously that's hurtful, And like two weeks later, 345 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: some stat came out about how like the Bucks said, 346 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: like because I don't remember the specific stat but I 347 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: want to find it, but it was something or when 348 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: they got blown out by like forty like two games 349 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: in a row, and I made a TikTok where I 350 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: was like, all I did, I just stood there due 351 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: edit the video with the stat line in the back 352 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: it's time, But I was I was right. I just 353 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: don't get that I was right and I and I 354 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: will be wrong, and I am wrong a lot of 355 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: the time. But like, I just think it's sometimes frustrating 356 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: for me because I'm like, I know, if a guy 357 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: said that would be so different, And how do you 358 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: navigate in a male dominated field feeling that way because 359 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: we all do. 360 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the thing is that it is frustrating 361 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: because when you think about the sports landscape and you 362 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 2: think about the different jobs that exist in sports, and 363 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: you have these like very dynamic personalities like a Stephna 364 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: or a Skip or Shannon whoever, these men who are 365 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: sports opinionists, and sometimes they have not created the market 366 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: for women to even be able to be sports opinionists 367 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 2: because when you give an opinion that feels maybe different 368 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: than the popular one or different from maybe what some 369 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: of the men are saying, instead of them disagreeing with 370 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: your opinion, they say your opinion is wrong because you're 371 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: a woman. And that does not exist for the men 372 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 2: in this space. When they have an opinion that somebody 373 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: disagrees with, it is just an opinion that they disagree with. 374 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 2: It is not indicative of you as a woman or 375 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: women as a whole. But that is what happens in 376 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: our space with people that look like us, and I 377 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: think that it's unfair and it also does a disservice 378 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: to the many women who have things to say that 379 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 2: you know, that have you know, very substantive opinion, they're 380 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 2: silence just because of the way they are received. 381 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: And that makes me sad to think about that. You 382 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: can't be. 383 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: Fully what you want to be in media because you 384 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 2: know what people will say about it. 385 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: So I just say I want to thank you because 386 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: I feel like you've been an example of someone who 387 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: men will listen to your opinion, you know, and I've 388 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: been able to see that. I know that that's not always, 389 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: of course, but like I when I get upset seeing 390 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: people like you or Malika and that people listen to 391 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: what they're saying, that makes me feel like confident in 392 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: the fact that things can change, and that like, eventually, 393 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 1: as I grow older and as they grow smarter, it's 394 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: not going to be everyone, but people will start to 395 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: listen to me. 396 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, I would say it's knowing that as you 397 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: grow there will be people that say, Okay, this person 398 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: is credible. But it's also I think really important to 399 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: know that there will be people that will never say that. 400 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there'll be people that will that will never believe 401 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: that what. 402 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 2: You're saying is right, people that will never believe you 403 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: are credible, and there are people that will never believe 404 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 2: that I am or any of the women are. But 405 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 2: what's important is even if that doesn't get better, you 406 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: get better. Yeah, And that's like legitimately the only thing 407 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 2: that matters. Also because it's the only thing that you 408 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: can control and so I think just really focusing on 409 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 2: the fact that you do the job well and that 410 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 2: you know what you're talking about. You can't control that, 411 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: there are just people that are committed to misunderstanding you, 412 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: but you can control how great you are at the 413 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 2: thing that you do and also understanding that that opinion 414 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: is completely separate from that too. 415 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that. Now let's just switch topics entirely 416 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: though we got pretty deep in the school. But anyways, 417 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: next up, I want to talk about, like, you know, 418 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: so much of the time you're in my seat right 419 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: and you're asking these questions. But I want to be 420 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: able to ask you some questions that you may be 421 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: asked to some other people. So okay, I'm sorry to 422 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: do this too, but who is the greatest basketball player 423 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: of all time? 424 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: Too? 425 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: Who is my goat? Who is my go I think 426 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: that's important my goal? 427 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, who is my go Well, I think that 428 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: we tie our greatest to very like personal feelings. So 429 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: I have to say Lebron because I have grown up 430 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: in the time of watching Lebron, and I know what 431 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 2: watching Lebron's greatness feels like to me. 432 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: That is not me saying that, maybe MJ. Isn't the goat. 433 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: But for me personally, I did not grow up in 434 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: that time, right, and so I have to say. 435 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: I feel that too, Like that's that's who we know, 436 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,239 Speaker 1: is our goat, and it's it's the beauty about being 437 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: like the greatest and something is that like different people 438 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: are gonna like look at that different. Yeah, because I 439 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: see Lebron, I'm like, oh, yeah, we're never going to 440 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: see something like this. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like it's 441 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: like he has that thing you're talking about that Jason 442 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: was saying, like he has a presence about him where 443 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: like he's like the closest thing to God, Like I swear, 444 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: like I just think that there's you hear his name 445 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: and your mindset changes just from what he's been able 446 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: to build, which is so cool. Yeah, it's inspiring sometimes 447 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: just watching Lebron. Yeah, yeah, totally. And then obviously we 448 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: talk about people like Lebron and MJ all the time. 449 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: But is there an NBA player that's more underrated that 450 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: you admire ether like the worth ethic of or the 451 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: play style of that you want to highlight. 452 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's maybe not underrated. This season, he's 453 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: in the MVP conversations. But Tyrese Haliburton has always been 454 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 2: such a high level basketball player. 455 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, the joke I always say is. 456 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 2: It's that you know, he was playing in Sacramento and 457 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 2: it was just like a league pass team. 458 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: You would turn it on. 459 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 2: Sometimes you knew he was good, but you were like, 460 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: I don't know if I care that that he's good. 461 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: But now that you are really paying attention. And of 462 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: course the n he's in tournament helped to catapult him 463 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: as well. But he's always been this kind of player, 464 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: and he's also just a great human being. He is 465 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: somebody who really is, you know, a giver and a communicator, 466 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: and he likes people. 467 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: There's no there's no ego. 468 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 2: To Tyrese Yea and also to side, I think that 469 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 2: that is also why you see him as such like 470 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: a like a gay manager and a distributor. He wants 471 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 2: his teammates to shine, so it's important to him to 472 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: like give that assist because that's sort of who he 473 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 2: is at his core generally. 474 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it shows also how iportantly important the environment 475 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: can be for someone because it's like he had that 476 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: talent in Sacramento. Yeah, so leaving Sacramento and finding his 477 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: place with the Pacers allowed him to show that. And 478 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: then it's crazy that then the trade also worked for 479 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: the Kings. Like that's something that I think is so cool, 480 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: the way that the Kings aren't like grieving the loss 481 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: of him, like they they won in their own right. 482 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's cool.

It was really cool. 495 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 2: I mean I think that anytime you know, somebody wants 496 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 2: to put a spotlight on you or just you know, 497 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 2: appreciate the work that you do always feels really nice 498 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: and makes you feel super seen and super heard. But 499 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 2: really what those lists like that always made me feel 500 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: is just proud to be amongst the other names on it. 501 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 2: You know. It's it's like, Okay, these are people that 502 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 2: I have admired their work or you know, looked up 503 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: to supported watch their content, and just being in that 504 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: conversation is it's really great and really nice. I've really, 505 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 2: I've tried my best to deprogram this idea that we 506 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: should care about lists or awards and things like that 507 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 2: that are really like arbitrary things. But it is nice 508 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: to be recognized. And I think that if I would tell, 509 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 2: you know, my sixteen year old self that this was happening, 510 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 2: she would just be really proud, because like, this is 511 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: something that I have genuinely wanted to do and have 512 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 2: worked on for most of my life. Yeah, and I 513 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: think everything that we do at this point, it's like 514 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: little us is rooting us on somewhere in there. And 515 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 2: one thing I'd say is I've always had a belief 516 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 2: that I could do this. I don't mean this in 517 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 2: a cocky way, but like I am not like surprised 518 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: that my life became what I wanted it to be, 519 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 2: because every decision that I made was for it to 520 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: be exactly what it is. 521 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm more so just. 522 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 2: Happy and feel lucky and appreciative and grateful and thankful 523 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 2: that it worked out. 524 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: But I am not surprised by it. 525 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, the same way that I think an athlete is 526 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: not surprised that they made it to the league. 527 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: That was the plan all along. 528 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what I'm doing now was the plan all along. 529 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: It's my plan to so hopefully it all works out. Actually, 530 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: I know it's all going to well, absolutely, it totally will. 531 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: So I saw the other day you made your cracking 532 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: time wrong, but like your sideline debut in an NBA game, Yeah, 533 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: so I did. I did. 534 00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 2: I did sideline for the U see the USC women's 535 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 2: best Oh okay, okay, So speaking of that, what are 536 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: your favorite types of sports broadcasting? 537 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: There's hosting, sidelines, podcasts. Where do you really find that 538 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: you like flourish? Oh yeah, My favorite thing, not even close, 539 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: is interviewing. I love interviewing. 540 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: Like, if I could just interview, I would I would 541 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 2: say interviewing one, hosting two, okay. 542 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: Reporting three? Yeah? Interesting? Yeah, I want to know because 543 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: I also obviously love to interview, But sometimes I find 544 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: that when I'm interviewing. I'm almost losing myself a little 545 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: bit because like, obviously the main focus of the interview 546 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: is the person that I'm interviewing, but I also want 547 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: to show like what I can bring in, like my knowledge. Yeah, 548 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: and how would you suggest that I sort of go 549 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: towards that? 550 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I would say that your knowledge still shows 551 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 2: even just in the questions that you ask, Yeah, because 552 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 2: it means, Okay, you've researched, but also you know what 553 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: you're talking about enough to make them answer something based 554 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 2: on what you said, So that certainly shows. 555 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: But I'd also say the more. 556 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: And more you continue to make it like a like 557 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: an interview is almost like a tennis match, Like I 558 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 2: say something you know, and so you can show like 559 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: the knowledge of the game, the things that you want 560 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 2: to say based on how you are responding back to them. 561 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, we are taught that we are 562 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: always wanting to ask a question so that person can 563 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: answer a question. But sometimes just the exchange of thought 564 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 2: gives you exactly what you want, so it doesn't always 565 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 2: have to be what exactly is this question? It's like 566 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 2: I want us to have a conversation about this thing 567 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 2: that is in front of us, and in that conversation 568 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: you can show what you know and what you're capable 569 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: of doing in that conversation. 570 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: I like that tennis metaphor because sometimes someone will say 571 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: something you else say something back and be like I 572 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: et with that. Yeah, totally, yeah, And so that's that 573 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: and that's how it should feel. 574 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: And I mean, of course, the focus is always the 575 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 2: person you're interviewing. You don't necessarily want to be the story, 576 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 2: but you make the interview better and you amplify the 577 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: interview when you are able to have your own style 578 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: of interview, and that comes from what you know. 579 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: Okay, now, Taylor, we're gonna have some fun. So okay, 580 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: I like to ask my players or my guests some 581 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: trivia questions, okay, and people have been doing pretty good 582 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: so far. There's a lot of competitive nature. I know, 583 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul going a little texting brawl, 584 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: you know about who's the best is Sloan nos trivia, 585 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: So you can you can join that group chat. But 586 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: I don't have like a straight up like scoring situation yet, 587 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: Like I still need to like think about it. So 588 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: you just see like the leader board. Yeah, I am 589 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: very generous with half credit, and like I will help 590 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: out with that, so like, let me just let you 591 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: know that, like it's gonna be like that, but we'll 592 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: see how you perform and then all late, like you know, 593 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: when the teacher feels bad feet. Yes, I like that 594 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: because like earlier Taylor and I were talking about how 595 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: horribly my Spanish final went, mister Ornette, if you're watching this, 596 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: like that's I need that feel bad grade.
