8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: First and foremost, though, we wee miss Paris, France.

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: Girl. How was your trip? Oh my gosh, it looked amazing.

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, for those who don't know, I just got

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: back from a brand trip with Nike in Paris and

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: it was absolutely sick. I feel like I was running

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: around the whole time. We went to a football game,

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: not American football, the real football, and then we went

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: to the NBA game that was happening in Paris.

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 4: So it was a lot of fun.

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: And I went a little viral for starting a whole debate.

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 4: I guess slash.

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: Twitter, Mariah little miss viral over here.

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: I rest of all, okay, I had never been to

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: anything like that before.

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: The fans in the US are not like they.

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Live and breathe their sport, and I think part of

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: the reason is because I feel.

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: Like in the us.

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: We've kind of priced out some of the real die

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: hard fans with how expensive it is to go to

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: these games, you know, so experiencing real fans that live

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: and die by this team and say, yeah, but I

30
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: don't know, everybody's like mad because they're like, no, football

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: is the same.

32
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: I saw that.

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: You know what's funny though about what's funny about viral

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: moments is that I saw that video on your account

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: and it was like doing this little one two like

36
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: nothing crazy, And I saw it on Twitter or on

37
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: x and it was like millions and millions of views,

38
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh no, I don't know. What

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: you understand is videos go on TikTok for a reason

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: and videos go other places for a reason.

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 3: So it's like.

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: When I saw it on X, I was like, oh,

43
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna be mad about nothing.

44
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: Nothing.

45
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: I knew something negative somehow was gonna come from it.

46
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: But it's cool, I mean. And then I went back

47
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 4: to my page and the video has like six million views,

48
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: and I'm like, what are y'all doing here? But most

49
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 4: people have been nice to me for the first This

50
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: is my.

51
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: First battle moment where most people were nice to me.

52
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: But everybody's been debating which is the better sport? What

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: sport in the US do you think have the best fans?

54
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: Like, see the best fans, I might have to go

55
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: college football fans and then college basketball immediately after, only

56
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: because they go sit outside in the cold, Like that's

57
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: a different level of dedication, and they paint their bodies

58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: and they have the chance.

59
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: I would say college.

60
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: Football fans might be the closest thing to the overseas fans.

61
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: I went to one overseas basketball game, men's basketball game

62
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: when I played in Israel, and they had flags. There

63
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: was little flamethrower things. They're doing the cheers like when

64
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: you said your video, what did they rehearse this? Like

65
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: it's crazy, But yeah, I would say college football fans

66
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: they got it, y'all got it.

67
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: I would say going into women's basketball. I feel like

68
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: college fandom just in general is so much bigger than

69
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: professional fandom because I'm a huge Georgia football fan because

70
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: I went to Georgia. So while I may never be

71
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: a I don't know, Atlanta Hawk or Atlanta Dream, I

72
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: couldn't be a Georgia Bulldog because I went to school there.

73
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's part of this resurgence that

74
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: women's basketball is having that we get to see you

75
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: guys in college for longer and follow your stories and

76
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: follow these rivalries and storylines, and so when you get

77
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: to the W, I already know who I'm going for.

78
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: And I think that was also the most amazing thing

79
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: about this past season was seeing that rookie class not

80
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: only get drafted be successful at their respective.

81
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: Schools, but coming into the W.

82
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: You know, whether they had good games, bad games, they

83
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: were in the games and people were able to follow

84
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: them for them and follow their rookie seasons. And I've

85
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: always preached like that was the bridge that was missing

86
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: between the W and college. As players would get drafted,

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: be at the top of the world, be at the

88
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: final four, and three weeks later they're at the end

89
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: of someone's bench and then they're like, oh, Everyone's like,

90
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: where did so and so go? I just saw her

91
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: at the final four. I just saw in a national championship.

92
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: Why is she not playing? And then five weeks later

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, Okay, onto the next and you know,

94
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the best things that came

95
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: out of this past season is seeing.

96
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: Not just like the top picks.

97
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: But like across the board, all the teams were utilizing

98
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: their rookies and their fans and their fandom, and it

99
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: just kept growing and growing and growing.

100
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: So it was really special to see.

101
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Well, It's also like, if you're not playing when you

102
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: first get to the w how are you supposed to

103
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: catch up?

104
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: Well, I could tell you because I happen to be well.

105
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: For one, going overseas. Prior to a few years ago,

106
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: that was liter really the only way you would keep

107
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: yourself ready to come back to WNBA, get to a

108
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: training camp and try and fight for your spot on

109
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: the team. But gratefully, now we have all these other

110
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: options stateside that allow players to get ready, whether they're rookies,

111
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: whether they're in year nine, ten, across the board, like

112
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 2: we have opportunities here, which is a great segue into

113
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: Unrivaled A little bit of Unrivaled talk.

114
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: Were able to watch any of the games?

115
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: I know you were gone this past weekend, but did

116
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: you get to catch opening weekend?

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: Yes?

118
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: I love it.

119
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: I didn't think I thought three v three would be

120
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: a little more confusing for me, just you know, because

121
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't play, so I didn't know if I was

122
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: going to enjoy it as much, but it's so much

123
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: faster paced. And I see how you always say that

124
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: you can see someone's skill more. Yeah, and they're playing

125
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: yes three v three because there's only it's really a

126
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: lot of one on more and so.

127
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: That was a lot of fun for me.

128
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: But before we get into Unrivaled, I do want to

129
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: ask about your time in Nashville because you're there. I mean,

130
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: there's other options to say side too, and you're experiencing

131
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: one of them.

132
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: So I just want to know how it's going.

133
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

134
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: So I just got to Nashville a few days ago

135
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: to start Athletes Unlimited. We don't start playing until first

136
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 2: week of February, so we have a little bit of time.

137
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: By the time this episode drops, we will be done

138
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: with our media day, so the content will be on

139
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: the way and coming. We are definitely stepping it up.

140
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 2: I'm really excited. So we have scrimmages this week. We

141
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: have a loaded roster. I'm a captain this week, guys,

142
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: so it doesn't count, but I get to be I

143
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: get to be in my little captain coaching bag GM

144
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 2: bag this week. So I was looking at the roster

145
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: today trying to figure out who I'm drafting, and this

146
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: roster is insane. I was like, I would be like, oh,

147
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: I want to pick this person. I'd go through the

148
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: roster and be like, oh wait, we have heard too,

149
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: like what like?

150
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: So, I'm so excited to build this team this week.

151
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: Obviously it's going to be suitable to how I want

152
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: to play, which is fast and shooting a lot of threes.

153
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: But I get to do that because I'm in charge.

154
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited, and I'm really excited for everybody

155

Speaker 2: to be able to watch us in two weeks.

00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: I think, so, yeah, it's going to be fun.

157
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: I'm so excited. I'm excited to see the media.

Speaker 2: I mean I've already they've already put it someone out

160
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: today and it's already better than last year. I'm just

161
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: really happy. And I think that's one of the best

162
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: things about AU is that they really listen to our feedback.

163
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: They listen to the players feedback, and this year we

164
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: really made it priority to have a very amazing media

165
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: date with great content.

166
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: We have makeup artists.

167
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: This year, we got content in our jerseys for the

168
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: first time, so we're really excited. I'm really excited for

169
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: you to come see and experience this in person and

170
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: do all of the things in Nashville.

171
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: No, I can't wait.

172
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: I feel like with these off season domestic leagues, one

173
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: thing we've seen is players get so excited about having

174
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity to not only do what they want to

175
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: do and get to play how they want.

176
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: To play, but also be heard more.

177
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Because with players having so much power in these off

178
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: season leagues, I feel like it's like, Okay, we know

179
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: what we've been needing, what we've been wanting for so long.

180
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: We get to kind of experience that with Unrivaled with AU,

181
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: and everybody's.

182
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: Like, yes, I'm so happy.

183
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 2: Yes, we get all the things, everything that we've always wanted,

184
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: asked for. Players before us wanted ask for work so

185
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: hard to get and now we're here and we're able

186
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: to do it for ourselves and not have to depend

187
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: on this larger organization that we quite literally have no

188
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: control over to give us the things we want, the

189
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: platform that we want, give us the things we need,

190
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: tell our stories the way we want to tell them.

191
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: It's like a women's sports renaissance we're going through right now,

192
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: and Unrivaled AU.

193
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: Is in the middle of it. WNBA is also the

194
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: middle of it.

195
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to shit on the WNBA because at

196
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: the end of the day, that's the league that we

197
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: all play in. We love the biggest league, longest running

198
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: women's basketball league.

199
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 3: So I want.

200
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: To say this about WA is we got to stop

201
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: comparing and just be happy that all of these things

202
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: are existing simultaneously. Because Unrivaled isn't the W. The W

203
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: is in AUA using unrivaled. We're all separate, but we're

204
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: all collectively trying to grow the game and leave it

205
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: in a better place than we found it. So I

206
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: think the comparing and stuff like, the more we do that,

207
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: the worst off everyone's gonna be. So I think we

208
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: all can just be happy and exist where we are

209
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: right now, not look ahead.

210
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: To the W season.

211
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: They got to do this, We got to do that, like,

212
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: just enjoy what we're doing now and be excited for

213
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: what's coming. And I think that's going to be the

214
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: way everything grows more rapidly.

215
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: I think I think I've definitely fallen into that too,

216
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: because it's like you see you guys saying, oh, we're

217
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: getting like makeup artists, and we love our content so

218
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: much for but Also, you got to remember that it's

219
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: like the W is your professional league, the one that

220
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: people are seeing all over the world, the one that

221
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: is like at the highest of pedestals. They have like sponsors,

222
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: they got to answer to they have. It's completely different,

223
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: so completely separate.

224
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, not saying the W don't got work to do,

225
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: because they do. Don't get me wrong.

226
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 4: We're gonna get off there. We're gonna get off the

227
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: w's neck.

228
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: For Yeah, they don't get it wrong. There is work

229
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: to be done. But let's appreciate everything that's going on.

230
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: And I think that will elevate the women's game even

231
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: more than it already has been elevated.

232
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: But also I think it does benefit hearing what you

233
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: guys are enjoying about your off seasons and what you're

234
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: doing for the W because it does allow them to

235
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: see that and get ideas.

236
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 3: I hope they and they're taking notes.

237
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: I hope they have a notebook full of notes because

238
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: it's only been what two weeks of Unrivaled and we

239
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: haven't even started yet. And it's just the things I'm

240
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: seeing people tweet about say on air, players like you

241
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: say said, I'm just glad more players are more comfortable

242
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: coming out and saying these things. Sometimes you might not

243
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: get the outcome that you want, but if you feel

244
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: strong and you feel powerful in those statements, that's really

245
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: all that matters. And whatever happens afterwards. You know, sometimes

246
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: you just feel like it's above me. Now I said

247
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: what I have to say, and you know, hopefully it

248
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: works out for the best.

249
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of Unrivaled though, what have been your takeaways?

250
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: It's very fast, everybody is on an island. It looks

251
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: amazing on TV. I love the jerseys. I love how

252
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: everybody looks. Everyone looks great aesthetically, and I think that's

253
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: important to put a good product out. I actually have

254
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: some rankings if y'all care of my unrivals, because tapped

255
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 2: in like, even though I'm not participating, like, I think

256
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: it's an amazing thing. So after two weeks, this is

257
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: my Unrivaled list ranking. Okay at number one, we have

258
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: the Lunar Owls at two, we have the Laces at

259
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: three rows, four Vinyl, five Phantom, and six Missed.

260
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: And I will give.

261
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: Missed a little grace because they've been dealing with some

262
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: major injuries. But that is my week two ranking. If

263
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 2: anybody cares I've watched almost every single game, and it's

264
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: been very fun to see all the other players playing

265
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: on different teams together, like it's been like a mind

266
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: game kind of like that is fun because it's not

267
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 2: All star, but it's like, okay, but like y'all are

268
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: not on the same team or been the W but

269
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: you go on the same team now, and what y'all

270
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 2: talking about down there? Because it's free agency time?

271
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: Right, that's a good point. So I'm like, what shall

272
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 3: say too much before.

273
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: We get people investigated for Tampa?

274
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: Right, No, it's if people are not already putting in

275
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: complaints about tampering after what happened yesterday, then I don't.

276
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to happen. I personally have

277
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: never experienced free agency. I've only been a spectator, but

278
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: it's always been a very exciting time in.

279
00:12:59,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: The W.

280
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, can you walk us through?

281
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: I think you had some interesting things that happened that

282
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,119
Speaker 1: will affect you yesterday, So could you walk us through yesterday?

283
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: So yesterday we did a little thing, we meaning the

284
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Sparks. We traded our number two pickaway for

285
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: Miss Kelsey plum Let's clap it up.

286
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: Everybody, clap it up.

287
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, for those who don't know who Kelsey Plum is,

288
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: she is probably one of the best combo guards in

289
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: the w She is a two time champion, top three

290
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: or two in college scoring.

291
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: An amazing human being.

292
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: So when I heard the news, I found out, like

293
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: everybody else on Twitter, there was like conversations, you know,

294
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: the league, that she was going to be up out

295
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: of Vegas. So those rumblings turned out to be very true,

296
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: and I'm very excited. I think it's a good move

297
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 2: for us. I think got bogged down in this rebuild mentality,

298
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: and I think the only issue with saying you're in

299
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: a rebuild is you don't like have very high expectations

300
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: for yourselves or your team, and I think our team

301
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: is better than that. So I'm just really excited that

302
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: we brought a vet that's won championships, that's been an

303
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: all Star.

304
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: An Olympian.

305
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: And for anybody who is concerned about my health, all

306
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I am very much healthy. I've been

307
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: healthy for the last year plus. Crohn's disease is something

308
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: that is very hard to manage and control, and that

309
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: is simply what I've been doing the last year. But

310
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm very much healthy, very much going to play this season.

311
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: I appreciate everybody's concern all of a sudden when they

312
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: posted the potential starting lineup and I was in it,

313
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: and everyone.

314
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: Was like, hey, take that any healthy, Yes.

315
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: I will be healthy. Okay, thank you everybody. But autoimmune

316
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: disease ain't nothing to play with. It's not like an injury.

317
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: So I just wanted to clear that up.

318
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: Mariah. Are the La Sparks your new favorite team?

319
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: Well, I've been on your vandwagon for a minute now. LEXI.

320
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Ladies, that don't because when I first spoke to you

321
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: and we talked about you, you're like, oh, we're rebuilding

322
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah. I said, y'all were the baddies,

323
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: La Batties, the La Batties. I love y'all, but I

324
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: will say I am glad that this happened, because, like

325
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: you said, if you get stuck in this were rebuilding,

326
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: were rebuilding what we're building, It's like, how do you

327
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: build culture like that? And I feel like this move

328
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: allows y'all to get into your back like building a

329
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: real winning culture.

330
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: Yes, and culture, you hit it right on the head

331
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: because culture starts with a foundation, and no disrespect to

332
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: anybody that has been on the team the last two seasons,

333
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: but there just hasn't really been like a solid foundation,

334
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: and that there's no one person or group of people

335
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: to blame for that. That's like a collective struggle of

336
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: figuring out what your identity is going to be as

337
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: a team and what your culture is going to be.

338
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: And when you have players.

339
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: Coming in and out injured, dealing with illnesses, it's very

340
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: hard to do that. So I think they just wanted

341
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: to bring in somebody that is reliable, somebody that will

342
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: have a veteran presence in the locker room, and then

343
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: someone who could just go who like Kelsey's a dog,

344
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited to play next to someone like that.

345
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: She's been a pain in the ass to guard for years,

346
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: so now I'm glad that I only will have to

347
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: guard her in practice. So yeah, snaps with the Sparks.

348
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: You know, I had some words for them last episode,

349
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: so they could get a flower today.

350
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: Things have really things have really turned around since our

351
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: last episode. Also, speaking of free agency, what are some

352
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: other predictions that you have things that you are looking

353
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: at as a player who it will actually affect.

354
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 4: I know, I'm looking just for like tea.

355
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you are. Well, if anybody doesn't know

356
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: what free agency is, let me just say like just

357
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: a quick rundown. So free agency is when players can

358
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: go sign to another team in the off season.

359
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 3: So you have.

360
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: Two main buckets, which is an unrestricted free agent and

361
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 2: a restricted free agent. So unrestricted free agent can go

362
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: sign to whoever team she pleases. She wants to leave,

363
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: nobody can tell her no, no one can stop her.

364
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: She's gone.

365
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: A restricted free agent essentially has to ask her current

366
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: team for permission to sign to another team, and that

367
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: team can tell her no, you stay right here, and

368
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: they do that by matching the money that the next

369
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: team is offering. So if they choose to not match

370
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: that money, then she's free to go. If they want

371
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: to match it, then she must stay. So that is

372
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: the gist of free agency.

373
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: And compare it to.

374
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: In dating, you've got the times where you're single and

375
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: you can date whoever you want, like you're truly single.

376
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: You're ready to mangle and.

377
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 4: Get this guy, this guy.

378
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: But restricted free agents are more like girls in situationships

379
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: like you kind of want to be there, you kind

380
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: of don't want to be there. You're doing your options,

381
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: but you still have this like weight that might decide

382
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: to commit to you. Yeah, and also might let you

383
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: go to somebody else.

384
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, that's like a perfect example.

385
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: Okay, wait now okay, now that you've made that analogy,

386
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: I want you to compare when a team core is

387
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: a player, what would you think that would be in dating? So,

388
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: when a team core is a player, they are an

389
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 2: unrestricted or restricted free agent, but they're basically like no,

390
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: like you can't do anything, but if we.

391
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: Don't, we're going to give you the world.

392
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: We're going to give you all the money that you want,

393
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 2: but if you don't want to stay, we get to

394
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: decide where you go.

395
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: How would you describe that in a relationship and.

396
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: A real relationship. I would describe that as purgatory.

397
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: But thank you, that's exactly what I needed you to say.

398
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: Purgatory.

399
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 4: That is awful.

400
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: That is purgatory that you said doesn't want you but

401
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: also doesn't want anyone else.

402
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 4: To have the riot.

403
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: Please, this is why we got the show together. Like

404
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: that is guys, we did not even discuss this beforehand,

405
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: Like I just knew that she was gonna say it's jail. Okay,

406
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: So coring players guys, right, I know we're trying to

407
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: get into the tea, but I gotta break down these

408
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 2: terms for y'all. When you core a player, you are

409
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 2: basically telling them you're stuck here. Okay, I am going

410
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: to give you all the money, but you're stuck here.

411
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, you would think, oh, I get a Supermax

412
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: one year, like that's amazing, that sounds great. But since

413
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 2: I've been in the league, nine times out of ten

414
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: that player does.

415
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: Not want to be on that team anymore.

416
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 2: And also, nine times out of ten, that player is

417
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: also an unrestricted free agent. So not only is the

418
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: team putting them in purgatory, they are also taking all

419
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: of their decision making away. And for me, what I've

420
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 2: always had a problem with this core designation. I'm all

421
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 2: of the girls get into the bag. So I'm always

422
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: excited when I see a player get cored for that

423
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 2: aspect because that means she's gonna get paid. But when

424
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: you core a player on your team that doesn't want

425
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: to be there, you must now sign and trade her,

426
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: And unfortunately, for other players in the league, you are

427
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: now caught in the drama of this situation of a

428
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: player not wanting to be on that team anymore, and

429
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: now you get thrown into a trade that maybe you

430
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: didn't want to be involved in, but the way the

431
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 2: money aligns, you had to go.

432
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 3: And that is my.

433
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: Only beef with the core designations because I think they're

434
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: being misused by organizations. But at the end of the day,

435
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: it is a business, so I understand why they do it.

436
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: Like it's literally the definitions of you not I'm leaving

437
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: here with something like you're not gonna leave me with

438
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: nothing Like. I get it from their perspective, but I

439
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 2: hate it for you know, players like me, you know,

440
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 2: these mid level, mid tier, super talented, super valuable, but

441
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: just the way the money is, they sometimes get thrown

442
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: into these core signing trades. Yeah, purgatory. I'm glad you

443
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: said that. And let's see, Plumb was in purgatory. Allegedly, Satu,

444
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: who was publicly stated that she wants to be out

445
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: of Dallas, is also in purgatory being cored.

446
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 4: Didn't know that, but this makes sense.

447
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: Who else did they put in there.

448
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about Gabby Williams if she's in purgatory

449
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: because she hasn't been super vocal. If she wants to

450
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: stay or go, she's in purgatory. These are the people

451
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 2: that I know for sure. So I'm not gonna put

452
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 2: that purgatory stamp on any other unrestricted free agents because

453
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 2: I don't want to get in their business. But so

454
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: for those people who think that Plumb was like shipped off,

455
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: that was not the case.

456
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 3: I think she wants She was ready to move on.

457
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: I think she did her time in Vegas, won championships,

458
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 2: had an amazing career there, and sometimes it's just time

459
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: for a change. I don't know why people are so

460
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: like up in arms about that, like it's like any

461
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: other job.

462
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: No, it makes sense. She did what she would have

463
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: went there to do. Right, it's like a new chapter

464
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: of her career exactly.

465
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 2: She won.

466
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: It's it's fine, it's time to go do something new,

467
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: get to build something kind of on her own, you know,

468
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: like she gets to out of the shadow of the

469
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: whole Vegas Super Team narrative. She gets to go build

470
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: something that is in a rebuilding stage.

471
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 4: So it's nice.

472
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: I think I don't think aout anybody want to want.

473
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying, it's so funny because you know,

474
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: we see everybody complaining about all the NBA guys, like

475
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: they're all trying to team up and win and win

476
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: now and da da da da, and like the girls

477
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 2: in our league are doing the opposite. They're like, no, no,

478
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: I want my own team. I want to go build

479
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 2: something special. I want to do this, And I think

480
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: that's just like.

481
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 3: Women in a nutshell. I want to go do this myself.

482
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: I want to go build something amazing, and I don't

483
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: want anybody to be able to take that accomplishment from me.

484
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: So I think it's so interesting how like that move.

485
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: Even with Jewel that's the other side of the trade,

486
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: Jewel going to the Aces, new fans calling her a

487
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 2: ring chaser if y'all didn't know she already has to.

488
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: You can't chase.

489
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: Something you already have, Okay, So, just like Blum, a

490
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: change of scenery is sometimes necessary. And I love that

491
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 2: players now are empowered to be like, get me out

492
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 2: of here, because you should be empowered to do that.

493
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: If you're not happy in a situation, you should be

494
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: able to leave it, like we're seeing it right now

495
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 2: with Jimmy Butler, like get me out of here, and everyone.

496
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: And the team also shouldn't want you there if you

497
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: don't want to be there.

498
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 3: Exactly, it's just a stain in the locker room.

499
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean you could see it happening with the heat.

500
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: It's a stay in the locker room. People are miserable.

501
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine showing up to the locker room with somebody.

502
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 4: Who literally said yesterday on Twitter they don't want to

503
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: be here. I'd be like him out.

504
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 2: That's what I was just saying, Like, I wish people more

505
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: people would like just be like if I was at

506
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: a job that I hated, but there was a job

507
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 2: opening over there that is better for me, that wants me,

508
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: You're just gonna stay in that job, Which that's trucky

509
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: for people with the jobs that are not in professional sports,

510
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: you could quit whatever you want.

511
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: We don't have that luxury of just being like, you

512
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: know what, I want to go somewhere.

513
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: I want to go somewhere that feels better for me,

514
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna go there.

515
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: Also, isn't the complications and regular employment of salary cap

516
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: positions be draft picks being in the right position to

517
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: win a championship, Like you cannot want to be in

518
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: your job, but you can't really speak to Okay, is

519
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: the salary cap right?

520
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 4: What picks do they have to offer?

521
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: Like that makes What does the ownership look like? Do

522
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 2: they have Do they have an office for me to

523
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: work in? Are they gonna give.

524
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 4: Me a computer? Exactly?

525
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: Get back bar all these things.

526
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: It's still like it's complicated. I understand that from the

527
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: business perspective that they have a lot to work out,

528
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: but with star players you can figure it out.

529
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: No, exactly, And I think we haven't really seen this.

530
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: I mean people are calling this a blockbuster trade and

531
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: it really is.

532
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: We've never really seen two.

533
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: Stars at the same time ready to go after having

534
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 2: so much success where they are, And I don't think

535
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: that's necessarily a bad thing. I think it's a great thing.

536
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: And I think that needs to happen more. There needs

537
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: to be more seismic movements in the w to make excitement.

538
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: But on the flip side, I do love seeing teams

539
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: that are able to stay together and build something and win,

540
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: which is why I did even though as a competitor

541
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: I was like, Vegas, please get off of our necks.

542
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 2: But as a fan and someone who loves the WA.

543
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: You like seeing that process because I remember my second

544
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: year we were beating Vegas like we were not even

545
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: like we were beating the crap out of Vegas in

546
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, nineteen ish.

547
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: So to see that organization grow and be.

548
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: Able to keep that team together and be so successful,

549
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: it was nice to see and it kind of lit

550
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: a fire under the rest of the league, I think.

551
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 3: So I think Kelsey did what she needed to do there.

552
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: She's been there since they were in the San Antonio

553
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: Silver Stars guys, and if you didn't know that was

554
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: a team before it was, my dad actually used to

555
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 2: coach it.

556
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 3: Wow. So she's been in the trenches with them.

557
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: So I want everybody to just be happy for her

558
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 2: that she's able to go start something new and fresh

559
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: and be in LA.

560
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: With that was a w like that the Stars are

561
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: getting to that point where they can be like, all right,

562
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to be here and up and move.

563
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: And then also the fact that it's spreading the love

564
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. Okay, we've seen Vegas go out and

565
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: do it and be like that Dynasty team in the W.

566
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 4: Who's next, what could be next? What could be built next?

567
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: It's important for fan base in those cities to have that.

568
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: It's important for the players to have that.

569
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: For the viewers, have a little diversity, have a little diversity.

570
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: Even after these WNBA finals, Like I remember when Vegas

571
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: won their first one, everyone was like, Oh, they're finna

572
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: win again. I don't feel that way about the Liberty respectfully,

573
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: and I do feel that I the Link should have

574
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 2: won that series.

575
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: Don't they started?

576
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, get started?

577
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 4: We started? I really that really upset me.

578
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: I really felt like, but I don't know, I feel

579
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: like in all sports I've been like a hater recently,

580
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: Like I don't want the Chiefs to win. I just

581
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: haven't been wanting like I've been wanting underdog moments.

582
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 4: Okay, I really wanted.

583
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: That's how okay, guys, that's how we need a phrase

584
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: certain things. Sometimes we're cheering for the underdogs.

585
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: Okay. There is hay.

586
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then there's I want someone else to I

587
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: want someone else to win, Okay, And it's okay.

588
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: And I'm a super team hater, like big super team

589
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: even in the NBA, and regardless superteam hater.

590
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: I just feel like, I mean, it's cool, it's cute.

591
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, why I'm saying that because actually rude

592
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: for the loot, but like in a sense after.

593
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: But they're not a super team though, And I think

594
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: even when because when people say when they dropped Candice

595
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: in there, they're like, oh, super team, they're like the Warriors,

596
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: they built that team through the draft. But yeah, to

597
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: people like a fan, like a new fan, that is

598
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: just oh my gosh, like this team is killing everybody, Like, yeah,

599
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: they do look like a super team.

600
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 4: Okay, but the Warriors were a super team.

601
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 3: For the two years.

602
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like they all go super ti here we

603
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: go run up through the league for two But.

604
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: Here's what's interesting using that Warriors comparison. Let's talk about this.

605
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: What does this do for Asia's legacy if she goes

606
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: out and wins it without Kelsey? Yeah, is that a

607
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: stamp for her? I mean obviously Jewels one too.

608
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, But honestly, the thing about Asia is like I

609
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: just don't what more did she need to do to

610
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: be stamped, like for someone this early in their career, Like,

611
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: I just she's won all of the things and she's

612
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: done it like very gracefully. So at this point, she's

613
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: just like adding more to her legacy. I think she's stamped.

614
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: I do think that there is going to be a

615
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: level of expectation that they as a whole organization never

616
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: had before because you know, they have had the same

617
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: core group for so many years. But then on the

618
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: flip side, I think they're going to get a little

619
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: bit of grace for that because it's something new. But

620
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: I think Jewel is a great piece for them. She's

621
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: a completely different player than Plumb, so it's going to

622
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: be very interesting to see how she navigates that new system.

623
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, for Asia, like I saw her Google commercial

624
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: when they're like, oh, what's what's a goat or something

625
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: like that, Like she already not like she already walked

626
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: in the walk talking the talk. So I mean, I

627
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: think that's amazing. And I think the fact that the

628
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: best player in our league has that confidence, I think

629
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: that's super important for us. So if they win a championship,

630
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: which you know, again as a competitor, no, we want

631
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: to win a championship.

632
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: But I think it's going to be interesting.

633
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: And I think there's a lot of players now in

634
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: the spotlight that have legacies that they're building and defending

635
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: and adding to. And I think more of them are

636
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: getting attention now, which I'm very excited about because they

637
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: all deserve those things.

638
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: So it's going to be fun summer. I'm excited.

639
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: I am too, I am tail. I wonder as a

640
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 4: player in the W.

641
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm overstepping by asking you this,

642
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: but this is I'm just curious when you see things

643
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: like like the Fever building, that crazy practice facility. Is

644
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: that something that empower free agents and where they want

645
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: to go?

646
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: Okay, And like I said, I've personally never been a

647
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: free agent, but if I was a free agent today,

648
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: I probably would not go to a team that doesn't

649
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: have a facility. Let me add this if I already

650
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 2: was on a team with one. So the fact that

651
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: Plum wanted to come here either means she doesn't care

652
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: that much about it and she's gonna be straight like

653
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: I'm managing to be straight without a facility, or a

654
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: facility is on the way. So I'm gonna think half

655
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: full and hope that a facility is.

656
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: Very much on the way.

657
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, that practice facility and amenities has like leapfrogged

658
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: in the checklist for free agents. I'm pretty sure I

659
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: see the KA and Tosh always tweeting and posting on

660
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: Instagram when they're in practice, like, hey, free agents at

661
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: all the free agents because they're they have a brand

662
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: new spot. So I'm like, see, like we what are

663
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: we gonna do with that? We can't compete with that,

664
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: So it's.

665
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: You will be able to because, like you said, I

666
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: truly believe and not just because I'm on my first

667
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: day as a full time Sparks fan, that a practice

668
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: facility is on the way, not only for y'all, but

669
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: for all the teams that don't have one, because they're

670
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to do that to compete and.

671
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: Get good pieces, Like.

672
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a trademark to getting free agents. And

673
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: obviously in the future, like you said, you wouldn't go

674
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: to a team that doesn't have one if you were

675
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 1: already on a team that does well. Once a majority

676
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: of the team have one and there's like three that don't,

677
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, those three gotta have exact So it's gonna.

678
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: Don't thought it be in a city that no one

679
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: wants to be in either, Like, don't let it be

680
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: a double whammy like that.

681
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to.

682
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: Believe Indianapolis needed ain't nothing else there.

683
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: There's nothing there but hoop and that's all that matters. Well,

684
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: but I.

685
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: Will say I don't know.

686
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: I just feel like a practice facility is in fact coming.

687
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna manifest it for us. I do think we

688
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: have interested free agents, though from what I've been hearing,

689
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: we have facility.

690
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 4: No facility. You're in LA.

691
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 3: We're in LA. It's okay. This is my pitch to

692
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: the free agents. Okay, free agents.

693
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: If you like good weather, if you like a lot

694
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: of fans at our games, if you like the beach,

695
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: if you like to maybe see celebrities from time to

696
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: time at our games, if you like to win, okay,

697
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: because I'm going to add that in there, because we're

698
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: going to win this season. Then you need to come

699
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: to LA and build something. If you want to build something,

700
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: help something, build something beautiful, you should come to LA.

701
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: But anything else we should be looking out for. As

702
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: far as free agency is concerned.

703
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: Let's see. Let me let me bring up my free

704
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: agent list right here.

705
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: I think the streets are saying that one of the

706
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: most interesting free agents right now is Djna Carrington from

707
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: the Connecticut Sun. She is restricted though right and to

708
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: piggyback off of her. Her teammates do Wanna Bonner and

709
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: Alissa Thomas are unrestricted free agents, so I think that

710
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 2: they are both. Y'all can correct me if I'm wrong.

711
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't think I will be, though. I think they're

712
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: both out of there. So I'm interested to see if Connecticut.

713
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: You know, they're superstars Alyssa, Dewanna, Bree Jones, their core

714
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: JJ John Quell Jones already had left to the Liberty Coach,

715
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: Gone cor gone, no championship.

716
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 3: Are they gonna run it back? Maybe try to.

717
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: Win this championship in this window that they might think

718
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 2: that they still have or are they going to be like,

719
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 2: you know what, Djone, it's gonna be your show now,

720
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: which I would love that for her. I think she's

721
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 2: ready for it. I think it would be cool for her.

722
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: But she might go somewhere else and want to win now.

723
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 2: So she's definitely an intriguing one.

724
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: So whatever happens with her is basically contingent on what

725
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: the two bigger stars decide to do with their unrestricted

726
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: free agency.

727
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: I would think so, but she's restricted, so it's like

728
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: she's gonna be there and there is a pecking order. Unfortunately,

729
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 2: for these free agency signings, you know, you have to

730
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: wait for one domino to fall. The plumb duwel thing

731
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 2: didn't really help anybody as far as.

732
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 3: The domino falling.

733
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: They just took the domino out and there's still all

734
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: these dominoes waiting to fall. So free agency starts February first,

735
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: and I'm very excited to see where else. You know

736
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: who's on this list is freaking Diana Tarassi, which means

737
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: she hasn't officially retired yet.

738
00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 5: Girl, Like, right, do your announcement, queen, she doesn't retire

739
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 5: this year, though, I wouldn't even blame her because they

740
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 5: the way they sent her out.

741
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: Was disrespectful for one of the greatest players to ever

742
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: play in the NBA. It was just like a ky

743
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: by like thinks like, no, I will give her a

744
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 2: little bit of blame because she didn't flat out and

745
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: say like, this is my last season.

746
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 3: So it wasn't like it wasn't.

747
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: That's what that was my rebuttal, how are they supposed

748
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: to give a farewell to someone.

749
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 4: Who didn't retire? Yeah, like, what are they supposed to do?

750
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: It has to be a little awkward because they have

751
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: to kind of just in case she does decide.

752
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 4: To retire in the off season, do something.

753
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if she doesn't, what they're

754
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: going to do a whole parade.

755
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 3: And she's like, Okay, just kidding, let's do it again.

756
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 4: No, I think.

757
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like she was just in the Olympics, like

758
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: she was just playing still, like she was still getting buckets.

759
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 4: But I'm very pro retiring while you're still doing that. Facts,

760
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 4: I'm anti retire.

761
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to see people just as a fan,

762
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: I don't want to see you out your worst when

763
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: you leave. Yeah, I don't want to like the shock thing,

764
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to see you struggling.

765
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, dad, he needs to get Yeah. Hell no,

766
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. I'm with you retire. I

767
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 3: don't want me either.

768
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 2: That's literally been me, like I want to retire on

769
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: my terms when I'm playing well, which it's crazy. We

770
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: were just talking with Cheryl Swoops yesterday because she's one

771
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: of our analysts for Athletes Unlimited, and we had like

772
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: a little peaky session with her and they were asking

773
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 2: her about like how the transition from w NBA to

774
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: not playing anymore was, and she was just talking about

775
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: how hard it was, because she says it like sneaks

776
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: up on you, like.

777
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I'll get ready next year. I'll be ready next year.

778
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: And then she's like and one day you wake up

779
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: and someone is just better than you, and then they're like, all.

780
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: Right, you gotta go bye. And that's Cheryl Swoops saying

781
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 3: that famebreaking.

782
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: So it's like, if Cheryl Swoops went through that, we're

783
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 2: definitely going through.

784
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 3: We're gonna go through that.

785
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 2: You know, she's Trailblazer, greatest of all time in women's basketball.

786
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: Dealing with the transition of being ready to retire and

787
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: not being ready to retire, I think dinatrolites, yeah, and

788
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 2: I think she gonna be fine, Like she gonna be

789
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: just fine, But I still don't really like how if

790
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: that was her last season, I was like, that wasn't

791
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 2: really the victory lap that she deserves. So if she

792
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: doesn't retire, I would completely understand and support it, so

793
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: she could do a real farewell tour, but hopefully not

794
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: at a max salary because then that would be a

795
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: little problematic, not.

796
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: For us because that's none of my business because that's

797
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 3: not my team.

798
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: But by that good point, we'll do one more intriguing

799
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 2: unrestricted free agents. I'm gonna say, duh, because we don't

800
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: know where she's going. And she's been playing in unrival

801
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: like she's auditioning for the entire league.

802
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: Which is sick about Unrivaled because it's also against.

803
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 4: The people she could be playing against and or with.

804
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: So it's like, yeah, and I've been seeing like where

805
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: people think she would fit. And you know, there's like

806
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: a lot of factors that go into where someone goes

807
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: via trade because a lot of things have to be

808
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: in place for that to happen, like the salary caps

809
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 2: and stuff. But like if salary caps didn't exist, I

810
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: actually would love to see her in Seattle. And in

811
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 2: the case that Gabby Williams does leave Seattle, I think

812
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 2: Satu would be like a very good replacement at that position,

813
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: playing with Skyler next Sineka. She's been showing that she's

814
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 2: been a consistent three point shooter in the last she seasons.

815
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 2: A lot of people have been saying New York is

816
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 2: a good fit so she can be reunited with Sabrina,

817
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: who she played at Orgon with. Wouldn't be mad at

818
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: that either, but I don't want to disagree with everybody else.

819
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say she would be cool in

820
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: Seattle and we'll see. And then I think if Gabby's coughed,

821
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 2: she's court I wouldn't see why that wouldn't work. But

822
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 2: they already have two MAX level players in Mecca and Skyler.

823
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: So again, a lot of salary cap gymnastics goes on

824
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 2: in the WNBA. Guys, I don't think you guys really

825
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 2: even understand. I could go on for hours about salary

826
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 2: cap gymnastics.

827
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: I'm just hoping everybody.

828
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 2: Ends up where they want to end up and we

829
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 2: have a great w season because of it. Because at

830
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: the end of the day, we want everybody to be

831
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: in a situation that is suitable for them. And I

832
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 2: think that's not always going to happen, but if it

833
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: can happen more time than.

834
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 3: It doesn't happen, I think that's for the best.

835
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm really excited to see all of this play out,

836
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited for the season. I'm excited to

837
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: see how people fit in their new spots. I'm excited

838
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 1: to see the chemistry changes, the coaching.

839
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 3: There's so many changes, how.

840
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 4: That impacts everything.

841
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: I'm just excited yeah, And honestly, I'm excited too about

842
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,959
Speaker 2: the mystics. They brought in a coach from Europe, which

843
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 2: I don't think we've ever had that happened before. So

844
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: I'm very interested to see if one that'll lead to

845
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 2: more European coaches coming over here, and in turn, if

846
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: that will lead to more European players coming to play

847
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 2: over here, because unlike the NBA, we do not have

848
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 2: a lot of euro players, and if we do, they're

849
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 2: not like super dominating the league. They're very good, don't

850
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: get me wrong, super good, super talented, super intelligent.

851
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 3: Well's good.

852
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like I'm not trying to be like they're

853
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: not as good as the men. You know, they are credible,

854
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 2: but they don't always come over here because they don't

855
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 2: want to. So maybe more European coaches, more money will

856
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: give them more of a reason to come over here,

857
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 2: which for me, like I'm not duck in smoke, but

858
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 2: that's gonna be more competition for us.

859
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 3: But I think more and more and more teams.

860
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: So I love the influx of newness, of boldness, of spiciness.

861
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 2: I love it all because I think everything is just

862
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 2: gonna grow and everything's gonna grow.

863
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 3: Yes.

864
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 2: Oh, speaking of growing, we have to do our flowers yday. Yes,

865
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: today's today's who gets a Flower? We're gonna pivot to

866
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 2: the college girlies because one they've been killing it hooping,

867
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 2: and two they just have not been getting shown the

868
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 2: love that I think they deserve top to bottom.

869
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 3: Like you already know how they.

870
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: Be doing in South Carolina, like they know how they

871
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 2: be doing them and now it's even worse. But I

872
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: don't have time to get into that right now. But

873
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 2: my flowers for today are going to go to five

874
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: players right now that deserve a little shout out.

875
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 3: They're not gonna be your.

876
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: Typical five that you guys are probably seeing on ESPN

877
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: and on bleacher reporting stuff. These are some not even

878
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 2: I don't even want to call them under the radar

879
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 2: because they are killing it and I think that you

880
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 2: guys need to start paying attention to them. So one

881
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna do tonight Latson from Florida State. She's currently

882
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: leading the nation and scoring, so you get a flower, Girly.

883
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 2: Number two Lauren Bett's from UCLA. They are number two

884
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: in the country right now. She just had a monster

885
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: game against Maryland, which makes me happy and she's.

886
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 3: Six seven, y'all.

887
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 2: Okay, insane, so she's killing Since I'm in Nashville right now,

888
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 2: I got to show some love to my Vanderbilt girls,

889
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: who I actually got to watch practice back in October

890
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 2: and I was super impressed by them. So to see

891
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 2: them playing super well this season makes me really happy

892
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: because I saw the work that they put in before

893
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 2: the season even started. Camille Pierre, who is a sophomore,

894
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: and michaelab Blakes who is a freshman who just had

895
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: thirty three points over the weekend.

896
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 3: I believe they're.

897
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 2: Killing it at Vanderbilt, So keep your eyes out for Vanderbilt, okay, everybody.

898
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: And then last but not least for a Flower is

899
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 2: miss Harmony Turner at Harvard.

900
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 3: So we got an IVY League babe.

901
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 2: She is top ten in the country and scoring, I

902
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 2: believe right now. She had forty one points on Boston

903
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 2: College and she led her team to a win against

904
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: Indiana at Indiana, which I've played at Indiana that is

905
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: not an easy place to win in. So those are

906
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: my five Flower girls for today. Y'all tap in with them.

907
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 2: They been doing amazing things for their teams for themselves.

908
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 2: Tapping with them before they get to the next level.

909
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 2: I've been tapping in with them clearly, so yeah, I'm

910
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 2: just I'm excited for the game is in great hands,

911
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 2: and I love tapping with the college girls and checking

912
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: in on them and seeing what they're doing because the

913
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: landscape is so different now and the fact that they're

914
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 2: able to still show up and do their job, which

915
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: is play basketball, is very impressive. I don't know if

916
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: I'd be able to focus on all of everything they

917
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: focused on. Could you imagine doing what we were doing

918
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 2: and then going to school.

919
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: No. When I look at Flage, I'm like, how many

920
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: hours in a day do you have?

921
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 2: Girl?

922
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 4: I don't you had practice, you rapping on the stage?

923
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 3: You doing.

924
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 4: But the thing is, I don't want that.

925
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: To sound like I'm saying, oh, like she's doing too much,

926
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: like how people be saying Angel be doing too much.

927
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 4: I'm saying that because.

928
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 3: It's it's very impressive.

929
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 2: She's doing everything well and she's showing out on the court.

930
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: She didn't she wasn't in my five. But Flager's having

931
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: a hell of a season right now, and I think

932
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 2: more people need to acknowledge that amongst all of the

933
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: other amazing things that she's doing at the same time

934
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 2: because impressive, never doing too much.

935
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 4: We've talked about this privately and we will.

936
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: We probably get that into this in our next episode,

937
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: but I will say I hate to see a girl

938
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: get hate for being good at things off the court.

939
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: That takes away from the fact that she's still doing

940
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: good on the court, Like.

941
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 3: It just doesn't make sense.

942
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: And whether she has like a good game or a

943
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 2: bad game, like she's still getting up and putting the

944
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: work in.

945
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 3: You can't always control the outcome of games.

946
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 2: Yes, it gets to a point where you can tell, Okay,

947
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 2: you might be doing a little bit too much, and

948
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: there's ways to adjust. But like the fact that people

949
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 2: it's giving shut up and dribble, and I don't like that.

950
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 4: Let alone professional athletes.

951
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 2: Girl by it's giving shut up and drible and I

952
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: don't like that. And I think, like you said, all

953
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 2: the hours in the day, you utilize them how you want.

954
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 2: Don't get mad at how someone else is utilizing theirs.

955
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 2: Me and you both know we can do a lot

956
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 2: in twenty four hours. Mariah was literally in Paris a

957
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 2: few hours ago, and now she's it with me, and

958
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,279
