No, I genuinely 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.920 love this podcast, and that's not because we are exceptionally 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.640 close friends. Yeah, is it interesting to like be here 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.640 in a studio. It feels it feels silly. It is 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:06.480 you should be has to like do things when it's 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:12.280 like smoked five joints together on Monday. It was my first. 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.640 There were five tiny joints. There were five tiny joints, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.240 but only one was left. It was so good. I 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:22.280 had the time of my life. C J planned well 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.760 technically was my idea, but c J executed to perfective. 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.919 I mean truly true, like you should be a party point. 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.720 I'll just pouring you through briefly what happened. Um My 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.280 gall pals and I we all met, had a drink 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.040 outside of my house while c J was decorating our 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:45.040 house so beautifully looking like a freaking crighton barrel, shoot 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.280 a Pinterest board, and hired our dear friend who was 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.760 also a chef, Danny Palumbo and a comedian, very funny, 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.200 very talented. So we got back to the house. C 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.120 J learned how to make the sig Nature cocktail from 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.239 our wedding So Romantic, which he provided for all of 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.960 us upon entering the home. I also thought it was 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:12.880 called a dirty slut when yeah, there's a difference. They 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.800 had commentary and one of them, yeah, it's just one time. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.839 It's like how you think of your wife. Are there 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.680 people that think that I could have a drink named 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.280 after me called dirty slut? Absolutely go to West Slafia, 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.040 Indiana and you'll find them all up and down. I'm 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:33.760 gonna skip going there. Okay, it's actually notoriously smells bad. Um. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.720 But yeah, and then we had a like six course 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.960 dinner too pasta courses solar provided by c J that 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.640 had very frightening sparklers on. It hurt his hand and 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.760 he injured his hand arms. I was like the happy 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.840 Birthday song that never felt this long until my arm 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.440 was on. We got drunk, We got high, We laughed 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:58.160 a lot our friends. Was such a time. I think 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.920 we were so busy having fun. Did we even talk shit? 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.760 Of course we did. I don't recall there's I mean 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:13.920 we never once the show have Aaron tell us about 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.200 yourself a little bit and in general. But you you 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.520 are again one of our friends who, like us, works 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.720 in comedy but also works in sports and and it 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.040 manages to make her career and a lot of sports stuff. Yeah, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.760 a niche of writing here, but you've managed to. I mean, 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.080 you wouldn't called Miller for like weeks. It was a month. Sexually, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.520 it was so fun. It was for this Facebook watch 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.000 show and we did d It was eight or eleven 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.880 episodes and I can't remember, but we with Vaughan and 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.159 his brothers, two of whom are not his actual brothers 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.080 but are such great people. If you could say that, 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.000 then yeah you can't. Yeah you can't find his brothers. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.200 Uh and they it was we had the timberlized. We 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.479 like shot the whole thing in his basement of his 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.560 actual home in Colorado. Yeah. Cool, Um, it was cool. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.080 It was really and you know they're not actors, but 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.840 they try hard. That's the thing about athletes. They are coachable, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.880 they want to do well, and the good ones really refreshing. 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.360 I was thinking about how funny just the like I 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:17.760 wanted to be when I was little. I wanted to 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.839 be an orthopedic surgeon, just because I I remember saying 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.720 this to someone. I was like, I wouldna be an 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.719 orthopoic surgeon so I can run out on the court 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.000 when someone gets hurt. And they're like, that's not an 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.880 orthopedic surgeon. I got my a c L surgery the 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.479 second happen just right there. And then when I found 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.360 out that wasn't what they did, I was like, oh, well, 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.240 funk that. I'll just write you get to hang out 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.440 with athletes? Yeah, I mean caught me writer. That's we've 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.600 all come into this as backwards. Yeah, I said, CJS 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.000 made fun of what I wanted to be. I wanted 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.360 to be a sideline reporter because I wanted to hang 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.960 out with And then I think people were also like, 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.440 what that They're not in my mind, I just sort 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.159 of like learned it was like it was not a 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.640 level of creativity that I was going to be happy with. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.159 I mean, some of that's just like you proactively made 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.280 a choice I just like couldn't do the prerecusites first 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.760 was somewhat reasonable. I was like, I'm going to play 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.640 in the NBA. You're going to pay in the NBA. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.320 I really did play in high school. I really did. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:19.920 I did play in high school. Have I told you 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.880 this story where Jason Kidd let me beat him in 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.280 one on one as a child, and then I thought 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.400 I was going to be in the men's NBA. I mean, 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.920 but that's that's the Jason Kidd. He did his job there, 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.680 Jason Kidd alone. We were not alone. It was like 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.880 it was like a summer league game in Oakland. My 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.400 uncle took me and then I got pulled from the 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.880 crowd and like it was like not real one on one. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:51.359 It was probably to possessions. It was the scoreboard. I 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.000 thought it was, though I was probably like nine. I 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.120 don't know. He was a rookie. He was Rookie of 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.039 the Year. And then I'm playing against him and I 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.760 I beat him, or at least I like scored and 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.920 he allowed me to. But it was like, well, best 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.040 out of three, she wins or whatever. And I was like, 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.040 holy sh it, how old were you? I think nine? 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.840 He thought you were hot, and then he was like, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.040 I gotta let her away for sure. I definitely had 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.840 a mullet and like a rat tail. I think that's 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.760 why they let you, like a make a wish kid 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.960 and I'm not this white trash girl out here. We 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:31.200 will save her from hating minorities. Yes, you know it works. 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.600 Oh I think there's I used to have it, like 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.640 you're from North Carolina. We need to really get this 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.600 in there, rat tail. Any any little white kids rat tails, 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.720 We're gonna have you come down here fight something. I 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.600 don't play against the rookie of the year. The basketball 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.720 camp later that same summer, it was not even the 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:53.680 best at basketball camp for children. That's how it's that's shocking. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.240 That'll knock you down. Well, it's funny because I went 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.600 to Michael Jordan's camp two years and I was really 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:02.000 good mate the All Star team. Not a brag, but 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:09.600 also went to Michael Jordan camp. What year, nineties nineties seven? 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.600 Because I think you were there at the same time 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.680 as my cousin Hurst, Illinois. Oh, never mind, they have 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.520 they that's the senor Barbarine is the one they went to. 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.720 And this is how we found out that my aunt 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.200 slept with Michael Jordan's Oh yes, I remember you having 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.080 this story. I mean, you can which the aunt that 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.560 I've met, whose house I've been to. We whispers whispering, 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.760 I have you haven't been to her house? Okay, okay, 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:48.240 but it's my it's it's my cousin again, whispering around. 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.200 You do have a hot cousin, beautiful, But I have 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.160 one cousin and is, as her own grandmother put it, 0:08:55.280 --> 0:09:01.400 one of the beautiful ones wisely for Michael Jordan. So 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.520 is there anything else to that story? So they went 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.600 to the This is how we found The way we 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.480 found out, though, is so perfect because I didn't realize 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.160 so that this obviously happened like a long time ago, 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.560 and then I didn't know about it. And then we 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.080 my husband and I went to my aunt's house and 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:19.640 we were staying there, and she has all this Michael 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.800 Jordan and paraphernalia, and it's like signed, signed stuff, and 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.560 it's not even like displayed, like it's like put tucked 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.520 behind his under couch or like it's all framed and signed. 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.680 And then she doesn't have any She did used to 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.400 work for the Kings, but she doesn't have any other 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.080 sports paraphernalia anywhere. But to me, a girl from Chapel 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.480 Hill in North Carolina, this did not seem strange at all. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.040 Like I was like, of course everyone he's a god 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.720 and everyone has it in their home, not weird at all. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.360 But Billy was like, why does she have this? This 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.480 is weird? And I was like, I guess so. And 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:53.880 then we asked my cousin and she was like, oh, 0:09:53.920 --> 0:10:01.760 Mom sucked him. She was like, go to uh made 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.600 us go to camp because my cousin is like very 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.120 good at soccer but not a basketball And she was like, 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.880 Mom made us go to camp. And we cried on 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:13.240 the way. I didn't want to go and uh and 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.000 they would like hang out with him, like have breakfast 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.280 with it. So she was going to be like let's 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:24.680 see if yeah, was it college for my cousin? No, 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.440 the sex, like when did it happen? Oh, like college 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.720 Michael Jordan's college was your aunt? How did your aunt 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.760 meet Michael Jordan to have sex with him? Oh? I 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.840 don't know. I assumed something to do with the Kings, 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:41.280 but you never. It wasn't North Carolina. No, this is 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.800 like this is uh, but it wasn't. When her kids 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:49.320 were at camp, then I think she might have no. No, 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.800 that's that's definitely what's going on sex. Well, the kids 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:57.600 were at camp. Yeah, oh maga. That's why I couldn't 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.440 put together what you were talking about because I was like, no, 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.400 we're talking of a real time affair. I wish my 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:07.640 mom Jordan. It's funny to hear c J's like siblings 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.760 talk about him going to Michael Jordan's camp, because they 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.760 were like, yeah, then we just had to go on 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:17.559 a trip for a week. It's sisters like, how much 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.600 older than you? Nine years? Yeah. So she's just like 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.000 a cool, beautiful woman having to go to Elmhurst, Illinois 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.880 so her brother with asthma can meet Michael Jordan. But 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:34.800 I loved Michael Jordan, understood it. They understood it. Should 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:40.560 we all love Michael Jordan's That's like the universal that 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.439 tears us apart, unexcepted. But I fully recognize that other 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.520 people to do. Is this like, so Billy is a 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.440 Duke fan of I'm a Carolina fan? Is that what 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.560 this is like for you guys? No, because I definitely, 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.600 I mean, I think the thing that c J and 0:11:55.640 --> 0:12:00.840 I fight sports twise about is I'm obviously some would 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:05.880 say delusionally obsessed with my hometown teams, like I'm I'm 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.320 a homer like every I'll support them through thick and thin, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.840 and c J is a front runner. Oh I am too. Yeah, 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.280 so that is I like talents, So that's a difficult 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.040 thing for us. And then well did you did you 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:26.240 have a pro team? But I was like, that's not well. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.720 So I was born in Marshalltown to Iowa. This is 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:33.120 what I do about protimity. It was Marshalltown, Iowa. W 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.040 G N Bowls games were on what your state? It's 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.760 not my state, but what what NBA team is in Iowa? Yeah, 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.040 but then you know that's what I'm thinking. So that's 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.160 why I get to pick. I feel like I pick 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.280 any team who has like my favorite current Carolina former 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:53.040 Carolina player. That's understanding. I just like pick connection. He 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.880 doesn't even really have a connection. I just like the 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.840 teams that are well, this is what Billy always says about. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.280 I'm like, how we didn't like we've had almost like 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.360 Mary Gending fights over Duke Carolina basketball coach. Oh, I 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:07.280 can because it takes me back to middle school when 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.040 you when it was so real, like it was it 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.360 was not like you can understand that the other side 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.400 is also good people, and it was like, no, I 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.160 want them to die. I actually think the childhood is 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.520 like why those things become so intense because in Indiana's 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.360 a you perdue and then like that that's just the rivalry. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.200 I name, Butler is good too, but like I, you produce, 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.040 like people hate each other and they cry. But no 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.040 one in my family went to I. You were produced. 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.600 We worked from Indiana, and so like Perdue, I'm happy 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.520 when they beat I you it like really makes me laugh. 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.719 But if they lose, I E whatever, I move on. 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.080 I've definitely grown up from it because also like I 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.880 was a Carolina fan born number of but then the 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.640 high school that I went to was all everyone worked 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.280 at DO. Everyone's parents worked at Duke, everyone went to DO. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.360 It was like a feeder school for Duke. So I've 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.960 since been like, you know, Cameron is like the best 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.200 place to see a basketball game on Earth. I'd like 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.520 to go some day, and you just kind of almost 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.640 have to like look at it maturely. Is like we're 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.000 lucky that we got to have both of these powerhouses. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.600 Coach K's daughter was on my basketball team. Wow did 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.240 take my place. I remember in grade school growing up, 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:19.840 they were like asking me my favorite color, and I 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.520 said Carolina blue. And they're like that, but that's not 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:30.600 like what it's called. It's called God didn't love Carolina. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.880 Why did he make the sky Carolina blue? I said 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.680 something I said as a child. You're quoting a movie there. No, 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:41.240 that's like things kids said from where I'm from. It 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.400 was like our way of being like fuck you, Carolina 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.680 is better. So it's a beautiful color. I think Duke's 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.240 blue is a beautiful color too. I mean, I think 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.480 it being associated with the devil is tough, but I 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.000 do think the color, I mean, it's Dodger blue is blue. 0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:01.040 It's it's a great royal but it's also just classic 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.200 um rich rich v poor you know the yeah, the 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.200 and and also Carolina used to be like Dean Smith 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.920 and stuff. It was like super progressive. It was like 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.680 all about sort of you know this like progressive voice 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.520 in the South. And then do because like what's point, 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.160 you know, the opposite of range Rover. Duke is rich, 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:27.480 they aren't. Hair hasn't moved in decades. Two of my 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.920 uncle's went to Duke and I went and I don't 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.160 love it. No, I'm gonna get to it. I went 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.560 on like a trip to the look at it. I 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.040 went to so many schools. I had not a trance 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.360 and Hill get me too. But I'm like I looked 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.400 at it, you know, It's like I looked my eyes 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.000 glanced at it. So we went to Duke because my 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:53.240 husband was not my husband. My my uncle was getting 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:58.120 married to the time. I got the flu at Duke 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.320 and puked all over the student center and they still 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.840 wanted to be like look around, and my uncle just 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.880 like lanced around the quad and he goes, you don't 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:13.120 want to go here, It's a beautiful campus. I don't 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.360 think he loved. No, he had a great time there. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.000 I don't. I don't. Organizationally, sometimes you look back, there's 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.000 things that I'm angry with that perdue. And there's also 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.360 these places where you're like you are you were asking 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.240 me for money, So I'm allowed to pass judgment on, 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.080 you know, like if I am now the piggy bank 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.360 for how many ellipticals are in the new workout place, Yeah, 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.000 I can be pissed that you're having shitty people come 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.680 and speak. That's the only thing I don't have beef 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:45.320 with about Carolina is they have great athletic facilities, even 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.320 for students, like not even just for athletes. And I'm 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.400 sure their tuition is not one thousand dollars a year. No, 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.280 it's extremely It was like three grand went in state 0:16:54.400 --> 0:17:00.400 and I had written board scholarship. But alright, for oh 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.960 for it started as merit and that there was fuel 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.439 talking first, But we don't want to talk about my 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:12.480 careers and you've already talked about who your relatives had 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:16.040 had sex with. But I feel like we should get 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.040 into our topic today. We've been saving this one for 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:23.560 you for me. Yeah, this topic, I'm so excited about it. 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:28.399 So today's topic is greatest athletes to our moms. Hell yeah, maybe, 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.080 which is so many and it may seem like niche, 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.240 but it's a real I think it's something that has 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.080 sort of started to be celebrated more recently, especially when 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:40.760 you go to look this up. I did have a 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.200 hard time, and maybe some of that is like when 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:48.680 women would become moms back in the day, Uh, they 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.800 would they would stop competing. Well, yeah, I guess, and 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.920 it's like maybe you wouldn't even someone didn't even reach 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.760 their full potential. Yeah, and I may not have that right, 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.479 they're they're very well could be. I don't know if, 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.600 like Chris Everett had a baby and then kept playing, 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.480 I don't truly know, but they don't pop up when 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.040 you're like really getting into It seems like more of 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.600 like a modern phenomenon that women are able to give 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:15.400 birth and then continue to have professional athletic careers or 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:20.119 just professions in general life, working is crazy. What do 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.080 I talked to our own friends have been pregnant. They're like, yeah, 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.399 I'm having trouble getting out for my pregnancy, Like what 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.879 is going on? I worked, I was working while in labor, 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:34.720 like emailing back of the Because I'm freelance. You can't 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.240 tell people I mean going to have a kid because 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.160 I don't want them to not give me jobs. It's 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:43.240 similar to athletes. It's like, okay, if you stopped playing, 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:47.439 then you don't make any money. Yeah, and obviously in 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.400 like this country have we have a very fucked up 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:58.080 like post birth health systems and post birth work balance 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.359 for I think a mother and the father. I think 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:05.000 it's great that men get paternity leave now. So yeah, 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.119 it's sort of something that like we think about a 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:10.800 lot and has started to be celebrated. And I do 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.359 think some of that is just because there's really giant 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.960 success stories. Um, and that's who we're going to be 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.000 celebrating today. So Aaron, if you want to lead us 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.320 off with your first pick? Wow, okay, so first pick 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:26.919 is that my number one? We go like, okay, so 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.240 one or whatever you have, I'm gonna start controversial. Okay, 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:35.280 were like fun that mom, so as you're talking about 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.959 like back in the day, it's just a guy like 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:44.720 Steph Curry, m the So I just started by just 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.000 being like, who are my all time favorite athletes? And 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.680 then do they have kids? I think that's a great 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.119 way to go back. And uh, my number one all 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:56.800 time favorite athlete is Marion Jones Big Carolina. I love 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.680 her so much. I know that that we've got some 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.480 drug history is questionable, but I also I'm like, I'm 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.760 also just like, you know what lived your life? Honey? 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.119 She won so much. It was like I feel like 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.080 it was also she's like the perfect amount older than 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:11.520 me that I that I was like, this is a 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:15.280 living god. And then she was like on Carolina campus. 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.760 So I saw her and I would you know, we're 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.679 growing up and I would like be like that is 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.199 an inhuman human and she's just like walking among us, 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.399 like nineties track athletes and like two kids. Yeah, like 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.719 they're only know like three names in track and field. 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:36.960 It was like Mary and Jones, Jackie Um, Carl Lewis 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.760 and maybe that's it, and so like, yeah, for these 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:46.359 people to be known for just running, um, not just running. 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.359 She was what is it four Olympic that's got stuck 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.919 from her. I can't remember what it is exactly. They 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:56.560 ended up getting taken away. But she also played in 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:02.040 the w n B A. She's she's like the the greatest. 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.040 She won three gold medals and two bronze medals just 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:10.480 at the Sydney Games. That's the one that we're all stripped. 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:14.840 She very I mean, it's tough because this is in 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:19.359 the first paragraph of her Wikipedia. Yeah, where's her thirty 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.960 for thirty because like I would look because I remember 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.960 as a kid being like she got a bad deal, 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.240 Like they aren't telling the full story. I mean, I 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.920 know she took but she was kind of it was 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:35.600 a famous person named in that belt yost and and 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:39.000 so then you sort of become the poster child for 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:40.879 and it was like also it was like that tinya 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.160 harding issue where it was like it was back ass 0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:47.280 into it, like her boyfriend got he got her her first, 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:51.600 I think for the drugs. First her ex husband, her 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.760 ex husband, and then her the boyfriend. After that it 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.000 was the same. It was all the same coach, it 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:59.320 was all the same, and it was like this drug 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:03.119 that wasn't like being tested for yet. So it's also like, 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.360 well it wasn't even on the list, and that's what 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:09.400 I hate, you know, it's just like the it's pressure 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.040 from other people. It's not knowing. Oh yeah, this is 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:17.080 like supplements, supplements exactly be injected. But okay, do you 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:20.359 know when you're shooting something, picture that going into a 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:24.120 stall and and like you popping up hill. Yeah, then 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.320 then absolutely you don't know what you're doing. But if 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:28.760 you're shooting it into your body, you probably you know. 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:33.399 That's see, that's that's why I wont because that's what 0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:36.760 her ex husband testified, and it's like he had reason 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:39.680 at that point to be talking ship. So yeah, all 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:44.119 of her she admitted to it later, had been vacated. 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:48.840 She did retain three World championships, but My thing is 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:50.760 I don't think she needed it, you know what I mean, 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:52.399 Like they say that's about like the a lot of 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:54.639 the baseball players that got you know, it's like probably 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.840 would have been home run champs without the whatever those phrases. 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:04.600 Did this happen after she had the child before? But 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:08.600 I think that because that's understanding. And listen, a lot 0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:11.720 of there's some there is a plastic surgery thing called 0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:16.960
