We did another video for Valentine's Day, 80 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 4: which we actually should probably upload the BFFR.

Are you taking submissions for 88 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: videos to use in the open, because we literally just 89 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: spend all of our prep time watching them over and 90 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: over and my producers and I were dying every single time. 91 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 4: Yes, please, we're we're getting submissions and I just on 92 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 4: my story, Please send them over.

And that's something that I think, 216 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 4: because of what we've experienced when we are younger are 217 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 4: we're so passionate about doing that now and we want 218 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 4: to hopefully have it society be a place where, especially 219 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 4: in sport and for young women and girls and non 220 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 4: binary youth, that things are better now than they were 221 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 4: when we were grown. 222 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 5: But we know we have to keep pushing. 223 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think also differences are embraced way 224 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: more than they used to be. But I still think 225 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: it's tough as a kid to be confident about what 226 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: makes you different, and then you get older and you're like, oh, 227 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: that's actually like the coolest thing about me and the 228 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: thing that makes me stand out and is the best. 229 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: It's just tough to lean into until you get a 230 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: little older. But y'all are doing it well now, and 231 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of people looking up to 232 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: and thinking like, Okay, this is going to be good. 233 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: It's all going to work out. Sid you're one of 234 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: the ogs in the soccer game. You came up as 235 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: many different leagues. We're trying to find footing. You played 236 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: for a lot of professional teams. Can you name them 237 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: all in order? 238 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: Yes? So funny story. 239 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: I was the first round first pick to the Atlanta 240 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 3: Beat and the WPS. 241 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: It folded like a month later, so that was fun. 242 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: I went to Boston. From Boston, I went to Seattle. 243 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: From Seattle, I went on a little short stint to 244 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 3: Western New York. From Western New York, I went to 245 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: Kansas City. From Kansas City, I went to Orlando, and 246 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 3: from Orlando I came to Angel City. 247 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: Whoa well done? Well done? I had the white Caps 248 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: and Sounders off the top. Did those count? 249 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 2: Oh wow? 250 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: Yeah? 251 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: White Caps, Sounders? Yeah you're right, Okay, right, you got me. 252 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: You were close though. You did well on the last bit, Ali, 253 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: what are your episodes at BFFR was an incredible starting 254 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: out drunk and then hungover chat with two of your 255 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: New Zealand teammates in Paris. It was such a great 256 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: watch and you guys have such a great chemistry together, 257 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: like playing off of each other. But I'm wondering how 258 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: you're doing post games, how you've processed your nerve injury 259 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: keeping you from playing in the games, and then now 260 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: going on to season ending IR for Angel City as well. 261 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, well that episode was really funny to do because 262 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 4: so much of the focus has been on Canada. Understand 263 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 4: they suffered the consequences of the the punishments that were 264 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 4: dulled out and having those six points taken away and 265 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 4: the coach and all. 266 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 5: It was very scandalous, but it was so funny to 267 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 5: me that no one was talking to us. 268 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: First. 269 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 4: There was the really the downside of we were the 270 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 4: ones who were being spied on, and so there is 271 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 4: a lot of frustration around. Maybe the consequences didn't help 272 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 4: New Zealand because Canada did know the game plan, probably 273 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 4: from watching those two trainings, but nothing we can control. 274 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 4: But also just the experience of having the drone at 275 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 4: the training was so funny and weird, And of course 276 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 4: it was more funny and lighthearted because we had no 277 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 4: idea that that actually because you're like, ooh, someone's spying 278 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 4: but like. 279 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't actually know that. 280 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 4: You don't think like it's actually going to be a 281 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 4: Canadian staff member spying on you. So I just had 282 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 4: to get there and it was the last day I 283 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 4: was going to see them, and the tournament was over. 284 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 4: We didn't want to have any more distractions, so I 285 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 4: sh I took my chance to interview them when we 286 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 4: were out on the last night and then the next 287 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: morning when we were all going our separate ways. 288 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 5: And I think, to answer your question about where I 289 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 5: am mentally and emotionally, it's been really, really hard. I'm 290 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 5: still so sad. 291 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 4: Is it makes me sad to not be able to 292 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 4: take part in the rest of the season, to not 293 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 4: know where my future lies with the national team that 294 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 4: I've spent seventeen years dedicating so much of my life too, 295 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 4: and I'm really proud of that. And yeah, being in 296 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 4: the Angel City environment, it brings me so much joy 297 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 4: being around said you know, she checked in on me 298 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 4: so much, but to actually be around her in person 299 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 4: helps me every morning. 300 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 5: My teammates are so good to me and they keep 301 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 5: me going. 302 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 4: But it is only the start of week three of 303 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 4: doing rehab and it's going to be quite a long road. 304 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm gonna need them more and more, I 305 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 4: think as the time drags on. But I think having 306 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 4: these side hustles, which on the one hand, we don't 307 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 4: want to have to have, you know, it shouldn't be 308 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 4: a necessity to supplement our incomes, but to have side 309 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 4: hustles that bring me so much joy, like this project 310 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 4: and to do something with SID and to be in 311 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 4: a club that that shares my values and that is 312 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 4: truly home in every sense of the word both, you know, 313 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 4: because I'm from here, but everything that it's it's given 314 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 4: to me and allows me to feel valued and to 315 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 4: give back to the communities that are important to me. 316 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 4: So I think, all things considered, or like, I'm as 317 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: good as I possibly could be good when I'm on 318 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 4: season ending injury and have this nerve injury. And I 319 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 4: do think this is something I would tell to all 320 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 4: young players when you have a setback like this, How 321 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 4: can you fill your cup so that you know one 322 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 4: day I won't be playing anymore? And that day might 323 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 4: be soon, hopefully not because of this injury. But I 324 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 4: feel like I've really put in the work in the 325 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 4: last ten years five years to be balanced and have 326 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 4: a full life. And I'm lucky to be here with 327 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 4: my family and with you know, teammates that feel like 328 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 4: family as well. 329 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 5: But I think I am really proud that I have. 330 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, honed my skills in other areas and found what 331 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 4: brings me joy beside soccer, which brings me huge joy. 332 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 4: So that going into this phase, which hopefully won't be 333 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: too long, but you never know, I am at peace 334 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 4: with it. 335 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: It's great advice. Have something other than soccer be your 336 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: identities so that when it does eventually go away, you 337 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: you know you have other things to turn to. We 338 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: got to pay some bills. More from Sid and Alley 339 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: coming up right after this, so Sid, I need to 340 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: hear about some rivalries Doom, because we need some good 341 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: rivalries in women's sports. We need the kind of Packers, Bears, Lakers, 342 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: Celtic stuff that gets people fired up or our favorite word, 343 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: maybe a little unhinged about their team. So how legit 344 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: is the Angel City versus Wave rivalry? Like these are 345 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: two recently founded teams, they're both in so cal Is 346 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: there any like real beef that we can get excited 347 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: about there? 348 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: I think like it's a rivalry of course because we're. 349 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: In southern California, but we also have a lot of 350 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 3: friends on the team. People have left from there and 351 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 3: come here and like it's all kind of crazy. 352 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 2: But yeah, I would say that it's a little bit 353 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 2: of a rivalry. 354 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 3: We're not at like Lakers Clippers situation, but maybe one day. 355 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: I just think, like the I feel the same way 356 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: as a fan of women's sports as I think a 357 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: lot of the participants do, which is like, it's very 358 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: hard to hate each other. It's almost like that awful. 359 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: I hope both teams have fun, which I hate in 360 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: men's sports, but in women's sports, I'm like, but I 361 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: do like have friends on both teams, and I do 362 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: like all of them, which makes it which makes it hard. 363 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the new CBA very exciting. 364 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: A major addition is no trades without player consent, and 365 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, like said, how important is it for players 366 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: to have agency over where they go and for whom 367 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: they play. I mean, we've seen you be very vocal 368 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: in public about certain coaches that you've played for in 369 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: the past, and this is going to let players decide 370 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: like whether they're happy somewhere and where they want to be. 371 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really important. 372 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 3: You know, from the beginning of the end of USL 373 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 3: to now, it's changed drastically and there's still a long 374 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 3: ways to go, but like we're getting there where like 375 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 3: the players come first, and I think that that's really 376 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 3: important no matter where you are. Obviously all clubs have 377 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: their own issues, but like we are really trying to 378 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 3: like protect the players. 379 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, it's it's. 380 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: Been a long time coming, but there is still more 381 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 3: work to be done. 382 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: Ali, what do you think. 383 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was in a situation myself at the end 384 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 5: of my contract in Orlando where because you are owned 385 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 5: by the league and you can't do anything into one 386 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 5: contract is up, but once the contract is up, they 387 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 5: still own you, like to not have that free agency. 388 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 4: This isn't so much about the trading, but it was 389 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 4: the worst off season I've ever had, well this one. 390 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 4: Now being injured might trump that, but I had such 391 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 4: uncertainty full disclosure. I also froze my eggs and I 392 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 4: was scared to tell anybody because I couldn't train. And 393 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 4: now it's like Orlando doesn't want me. But how am 394 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 4: I going to get to a new team if they 395 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 4: know that I'm doing this and I am not training 396 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 4: in the off season, wasn't able to say what the 397 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 4: salary I would want was because everything was like Orlando 398 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 4: to Angels City, and it ended up being a pretty 399 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: big mess. My contract, my current contract had gone out, 400 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 4: so for January I had no insurance, no salary coming in, 401 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 4: and it was terrifying. It was terrifying. So I think 402 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 4: the free agency piece for me is a big one, 403 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 4: and that extends to getting rid of the draft. That 404 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 4: gives agency an autonomy to those college players who. 405 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 5: Want to come into the league. 406 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 4: And it really so important to be able to negotiate 407 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 4: a salary and choose where you want to go. And 408 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 4: as more and more markets come in, hopefully players really 409 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 4: could have opportunities to experience what I am being home 410 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 4: or closer to home, and sid being at this kind 411 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 4: of home away from home. 412 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 5: So I see it being a pretty bright future. 413 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 4: We still have important things that we want to fight for, 414 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 4: including the quality of travel like being able to charter flights. Yeah, 415 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 4: but we'll keep pushing. But this is a huge step. 416 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 4: And I am so grateful for our Players Association. Oh 417 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 4: my god, it's scary to think that it's only been 418 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,959 Speaker 4: in place for a few years and that we've only 419 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 4: had a CBA for a few years. 420 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: A bunch of badasses over there, for sure. Ali. If 421 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: my mathew is correct, which it usually isn't so correct 422 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, But you're getting married soon? Yeah 423 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: I am. I am. 424 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 5: What's the countdown eleventh? 425 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 4: So it's on my website? How many days? And so 426 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: important the actual event, But yes, I'm It's been really 427 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 4: fun now because I do have a wedding planner and 428 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 4: so far I've just agreed to a bunch of things 429 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 4: but not had to pay any money. 430 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 5: So I think now it'll probably shift into stress time. 431 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have lots of advice for weddings, but I'll 432 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: keep it just to my main piece of advice, which 433 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: is certainly not based on personal experience of any kind. 434 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: But nobody ever says I wish I drank more at 435 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: my wedding, but some people might say it whish I 436 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: drank less. So just something to keep in mind. 437 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And and need to eat. I've had that. 438 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 5: It's probably goes on. 439 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: Listen though everyone tells you that, and everyone told me that. 440 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: The problem is I never have problems eating, But I'm 441 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: also never wearing dresses that have boning in them that 442 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: literally works like a corset that prevents you from breathing. 443 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: And then you're like, I can't eat that, I can't 444 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: put anything in there. I can't even take a breath, 445 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: so you don't plan ahead for that, and then the 446 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,120 Speaker 1: day I'd be like, it'll be fine, and then it's probably. 447 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 4: Why won't go with SIDS old dress because that we 448 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 4: had back cleavage when we put that on. 449 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: I noticed that also said will you be wearing that 450 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: dress to Ali ceremony? 451 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 2: Yeah?

I'm sure that's more annoying than anything. 503 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: Whenever women hit on me, I'm just like, oh my god, 504 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: that's a million times nicer than men hitting on me. 505 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: Hichil so much better about myself.
