The super Bowl was lit. 18 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: The game itself was pretty boring, but Bad Bunny was 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. 20 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 4: Lexi, what do you think about his. 21 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: Performance outside of not understanding the worst to a song, 22 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: which honestly does not bother me at all. I thought 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: it was a beautiful performance. It looked great on TV. 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: I know you were there, but it was it was 25 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: really nice. To watch. Lady Gaga was amazing. All the 26 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: random cameos was fun. But yeah, like I'm going to say, 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: like I don't listen to Bad Bunny like anyway. So 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: I didn't really have an opinion on it. I just 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: wanted to be entertained, and entertained I was, so. I 30 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: was happy with the Super Bowl halftime show and his 31 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 2: statement he made at the end was amazing. It was 32 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: beautiful with all the flags and the only thing more 33 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: powerful than. 34 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: Hate is love. 35 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: Like I don't know what people thought he was going 36 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 2: to come out and do, like if he's going to 37 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: come out and be like anti everything, but like that's 38 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: not who he is, so well low key. That's a 39 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: conversation for another time. But I loved it. I loved it. 40 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: Then it was odd, But he's so cutey Patuti right right. 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd use the words qutepetuity, but 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: he's definitely cute. 43 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: He's adorable because I can only assume he's like five 44 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 2: six or five seven like you think, so he has 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: to be small. Also, did you see his like glow up? 46 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 2: Did you see like what he used to like look 47 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: like like I need I need the background of this. 48 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 2: How do you go from that to what he is now? 49 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: Well, okay, I have been listening to Bad Bunny forever. 50 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: I love Bad Bunny, so was my sister.

Here's my thing, Like, 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: I like good music and I don't need to know. 54 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 4: What you're saying. Half the music that's in English, I 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: don't know what the hell they're saying either. 56 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: Gunna never know what he talked about, but at the 57 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: noon noon, I never know what the hell is. Siza 58 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: never know what the hell is Young Gum, don't know 59 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: what he's saying. Playboy CARDI I don't like him, but 60 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: no idea, I don't know what he's saying. So for 61 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: people to say Ariana grande because not just black people 62 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: are in a grand day. 63 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 4: I love her. Do I know what she's saying ninety 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 4: percent of the time. 65 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: No, So for people to be like I don't understand it, 66 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: so I can't connect with it. 67 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 4: You just don't like it as. 68 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: A Spanish So that's that's the main thing. The second 69 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: thing was like, I have never seen set in stage 70 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: designed like that, and a super Bowl halftime show. Ever, 71 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: like usually they just like are up there, you know, 72 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: with their microphone and it's like black in the background 73 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: or whatever like that hold the trees and the bodega 74 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: and the nail text like that ate to me. And 75 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: another thing that I don't understand about the discourse surrounding 76 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,839 Speaker 1: it is like, are we going to act like Bad 77 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: Bunny is objectively the biggest artist in the world. Nobody, 78 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: nobody is getting listened to more than Bad Bunny. I'm 79 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: not just saying that that's the numbers. Why would the 80 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: NFL not have the biggest artists in the world. It's 81 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: always the biggest. 82 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: Artist any money. 83 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, whoever the whoever is 84 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: the biggest in the music game is who performs. 85 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 4: That's the whole point. 86 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: That's why it's a prestigious thing to do because it's 87 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: only the heavy hitters, the big people get to do it. 88 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: Whould you want to perform at the Super Bowl? Like 89 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: he's the biggest arts in the world. So that's why 90 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: I don't understand like the whole anger and uproar and 91 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: confusion about it, Like I don't it's all rooted and 92 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: hate and racism in my opinion because they just they 93 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: simply like and. 94 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 4: He's Puerto Rican. 95 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: Puerto Ricans are American, Like like I. 96 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 2: Can't also, guys, it's a half it's a halftime show. 97 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 3: Like it's really not that deep. It's really not that deep. 98 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: It's a show. 99 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: But I will say the other flip side of that 100 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: is it actually was really deep for like, like did 101 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: you see the videos of people in Puerto Rico watching it, 102 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: like them having their watch parties and watching it, like 103 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: because the America kind of has like ignored Puerto Rico 104 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: for years and years and years, like I've been there 105 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: on a brain trip, and like Puerto Rican's kind of 106 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: get like step step childed by the United States.

See, I got 199 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: my Duke's shirt on. We're back in the top twenty five. 200 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: Not that I ever stopped supporting them, but they are 201 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 2: thirteen and o on the ACC right now. They've found 202 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 2: their footing after a rough start. I don't really got 203 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 2: nothing else to say about the ACEC except for that 204 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: Duke is thirteen and oh I'm proud of them. They're 205 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: playing extremely well. I think they're on a fifteen game 206 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: winning streak. Actually, the one team I do want to 207 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 2: talk about. I don't know if you saw Moor. I 208 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: don't know how much you like keep up with women's 209 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 2: college because I've even just been so busy is Tennessee 210 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: women's basketball. That they lost last week to South Carolina 211 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: by forty three points in South Carolina, and they've been 212 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: having some issues throughout the year. But what stood out 213 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: to me this last you know, week that they've had 214 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: of games and losses, is the way their coach speaks 215 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: about them. And it's like, I don't know, I feel 216 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: like now with this Nile stuff, these coaches are now 217 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 2: approaching their players a little differently, Like because they are 218 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: making money and have money, they're supposed to like know 219 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: what to do and know how to play, and y'all 220 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: got money, y'all grown like y'all should do this, y'all 221 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: should know better, y'all. 222 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,359 Speaker 3: But no, that's nothing treating them like adults. 223 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 4: I mean not, they're not adults, but they're still like college. 224 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: I would say that you have to treat them even more, 225 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: like you have to protect them and teach them even 226 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: more because now they're just kids with money. 227 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 4: What specifically made you let that bell go off? 228 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: I haven't seen people talking about the Tennessee coach for 229 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 2: a minute. And how you know, some people like a 230 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: pre shade her, you know, calling out the players and 231 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: you know there's a lack of leadership and dah da 232 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: da dah. 233 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 3: But then on the other side, people were. 234 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 2: Like, well, she's the coach, like the she's the leader, 235 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: like the leader if there's the leadership problems because of her. 236 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: And I had never actually sat and listened to anything 237 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 2: that she had said, so I listened to her whole presser, 238 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: or at least it was like a sick five or 239 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: six minute span of it. And I've never seen a 240 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: coach blame her team like that, And it was very blunt. 241 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 2: It wasn't like a tough love angle. It was just 242 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: kind of like, they know better, they need to do better. 243 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: We ain't got no leaders. People don't people don't, you know, 244 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 2: carry themselves the right way. And I was like, I 245 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: don't know about that from a head coach perspective. The 246 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: one positive thing she did say that she had some 247 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: young players that know how to lead and conduct themselves 248 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: like they should. But again, like that's not where you 249 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: gain the trust of your team. 250 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: That's what it just looks like. It's just like coach versus. 251 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: The team, and being the coach of Tennessee is a 252 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: tall task. 253 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: You know. 254 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 2: I know Pat Summon hasn't been a coach for a 255 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: long time, but you constantly are going to get compared 256 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 2: to Pat Summit and how much she cared about her 257 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: players and communicated to her players and how much she won. 258 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: And you know, Pat Summit is one of the best 259 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: coaches that women's basketball has ever had, So I understand 260 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: that pressure. It can't be easy, but I've been I'm looking. 261 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna look at this Tennessee team closely from now 262 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: on because losing by forty three is crazy as it's. 263 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 3: Being at would be like, that doesn't happen. That doesn't happen, Like, 264 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 3: so do. 265 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 4: You think it's such a talent thing though? 266 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: I don't think so, because the thing about women's college 267 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 2: is like you have like like the really good players 268 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 2: are really good and you can tell, and Tennessee has 269 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: a lot of talented players. They just look like they 270 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: have no chemistry sometimes. And if you don't have chemistry 271 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 2: with your teammates, and then you don't have chemistry with 272 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: your head coach, like you're kind of just out there. 273 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: Everyone's playing individually and that's kind of what I see 274 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: in Tennessee because they are talented enough. But after sitting 275 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: and listening to that coach's presser, I was like, well, 276 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to play for her either. She and 277 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: they're talking about talk about us like that, Like no way, 278 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: Like when you lose like that, you don't blame your team, 279 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 2: Like I'm sorry, you can cuss them out in the 280 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 2: locker room, but straight out just blaming them for everything. 281 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: I'm not with that, And that's kind of. 282 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: Just give a answer, just say we we came out 283 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: and we were Yeah, we weren't ready to play. We 284 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: weren't prepared I've got following it, they've got fallowing it. 285 00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: We've got to get back to the gym. We can't 286 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: let it, you know, like say that like I don't. 287 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 2: Know, Like just say that they did shoot forty four 288 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: threes though, which is ridiculous in a college game, and 289 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: South Carolina only shot ten. So that right there tells 290 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: a lot of the story. South Carolina sat in a 291 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 2: zone most of the game as well, But forty four 292 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: threes is crazy a coach. 293 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 4: Maybe there's things she is seeing that we don't see 294 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 4: and thinks she knows that we don't know, you know 295 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 4: what I mean? Like, for sure, coaches know their players. Broh. 296 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely, But you can't sit in the presser and blame 297 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 3: blame your team. 298 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: And there already are conversations about your coaching style, the 299 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: control you have over your team and their chemistry, and 300 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: you just added fuel to the fire. Essentially, Let's talk 301 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: about my week at AU because it was a disaster, 302 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: dumpster fire, guys. I got hurt the first thirty second 303 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: of my first game at AU. No oh yeah, girl, 304 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: I got my foot stepped on by Melissa Smith. And 305 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: this is not any shade to Melissa at all, because 306 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: it's basketball, but like y'all know how big she is 307 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: and how small I am, so her she not only 308 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: ran over me, she then also stepped on my foot 309 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: and I rolled my It was just bad. So I 310 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: missed most of the first game. I was able to 311 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: play the second game like kind of restricted minutes, and 312 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: then I tried to play the third game, which was 313 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: our back to back, and my foot was like no girl. 314 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 3: Sit down. 315 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: So essentially I only played one game last week, and 316 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: as the captain, finally being a captain, I was so 317 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: annoyed about that I finally get a chance to be 318 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: a captain, and I get hurt. But it was fun 319 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: like drafting the team, like I am happy with the 320 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: team I drafted, but like you have an idea of 321 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: how the team is going to play with you on 322 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: the court for a lot of those minutes, and that 323 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: just didn't happen. So I felt horrible because there were 324 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: players that I've drafted because I thought they would play 325 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: well off of me and vice versa, and I wasn't 326 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: available to play, so I kind of like messed up 327 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: a few other players weeks and I felt bad. But 328 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: that third game, so we went all on three, Okay, 329 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: we went on three, but we could have won every 330 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 2: Every game was super winnable. And then the third game, 331 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: I kind of just let like some of the younger 332 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: players on my team kind of just do their thing, 333 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: and they played really well. So I'm glad that, you know, 334 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: I made the decision to just sit my eyes down 335 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: and get this foot heeled and let other players do 336 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: their thing and get their numbers up and you know, 337 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 2: have a chance to get drafted high the next week. 338 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: Because I'm also missing two games this week because I 339 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: got to go to La for All a Star. So 340 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I'm not gonna be able to, 341 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: you know, do a lot next week anyway, so let 342 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: me let my team do their little thing. 343 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 3: And they did well. They played well. 344 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: We got some quarter point wins that we really needed. 345 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: But it was fun, like a lot of the players 346 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: are here having a good time, and for me being 347 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 2: on the PC and stuff that's always in the back 348 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 2: of my mind, like making sure everybody's straight. So so far, 349 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 2: so good. My foot is fine now. 350 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 4: At least it gives you more time to rest LEXI. 351 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and tomorrow we have a game at ten thirty 352 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 2: in the morning, so it's a kid's game. So we're 353 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: doing it for the kids. We're doing it for the babies. 354 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 2: But ten thirty am tip off is nuts. But I'm 355 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 2: a morning girl. I'm gonna get up do my little pilates. 356 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: That gives, it gives, that gets pilate's class. Yeah, so 357 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get up do my pilates a little earlier, 358 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 2: go to the gym. 359 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, he's been great. 360 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: If y'all haven't been tuning in, tune in, like the 361 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 2: games have been really really good. The new captains this 362 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: week are Kaitlin Chen, Anissamorrow, Rebecca Gardner, I'm on her team, 363 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 2: and then Alicia Clark is a captain again. And they 364 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: were all on the same team last week except for Anissa. 365 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: So what are you most worried about. 366 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't even know who we play tomorrow. 367 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 2: I should probably figure that out, but probably that team 368 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: because it's the only time I get to play against. 369 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 2: But I am coming off the bench this week because 370 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 2: I'm missing the weekend, so they didn't want to mess 371 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 2: up like the just complicate the starting lineup for the weekend. 372 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 2: So I get to be a little threat coming off 373 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: the bench. 374 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm excited. 375 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 2: I'm excited about that. I am excited about that because 376 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: I know how. I know how to do that. Guys, 377 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: you know that how to come up the bitch. So 378 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: are you gonna Well, Nara was supposed to come to Nashville. 379 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: I don't think she'll be able to make it because 380 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 2: she's so busy. 381 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 3: She's both be busy. Yeah, it was snowing. She's busy. 382 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 3: This is a quick season, so maybe next year she'll 383 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 3: be able. 384 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: To pull up it flew. And the last thing we're 385 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: going to get into what have you? What have you 386 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 2: read and seen about the CBA, because the public opinion 387 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 2: on the CBA has been outrageous and I think it's weird. 388 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: But I love asking you what you've heard, what you've 389 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 2: read about the CBA, because people have so many things 390 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: to say about it. It's so crazy to me, but 391 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 2: I love so. I actually have it right here because. 392 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: This morning I was researching for my weekly recap, like 393 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: a week it's sport to two minutes, and you know, 394 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: I always want to put like the gorals and the 395 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: stories in there, but there are no stories really because 396 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, there's no season so far. So the thing 397 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: that came up is that the WNBA CBA standoff. 398 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 4: Has reached a boiling point. 399 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: Basically, it's saying the twenty twenty six season could be 400 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: delayed because the players are fighting for gross revenue sharing 401 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: thirty percent while the league is offering seventy percent of 402 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: net profits, which is after expenses. And yeah, that's why 403 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: I heard. And the thing about the million dollars salaries. 404 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, it's just interesting again with the word gymnastics, 405 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: how they like they just won't frame they won't frame 406 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: our proposal in their purpose in the same language. 407 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 3: So it's a little confusing. 408 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 2: Like even the way you presented that to me was 409 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: a little confusing, even though I was in the meeting 410 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 2: last week when they broke it down to exactly what 411 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: it was. So one, they're doing that on purpose. Obviously, 412 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 2: we actually have a meeting tonight. We have a meeting 413 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 2: tonight about the proposal they just sent back. So they 414 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: gave a little bit of the housing back, which I 415 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: won't sign a CBA with no housing personally, and I 416 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 2: don't think most of the league will either. 417 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: And then the thing for me, now, I don't really. 418 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: Have anything to add to the proposal or what the 419 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 2: league said or what we said, But there's just been 420 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: a lot of conversation in the public, and I think 421 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 2: it's been taken a little bit too far. I'm glad 422 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: that you know our fans, and you know, even a 423 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 2: lot of non fans have been tapped in in quote 424 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: unquote care or want to add their two cents. But 425 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: what labor negotiation have any of you ever negotiated in 426 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: your life? 427 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 3: One? Two? 428 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: You guys only know like very very little of what 429 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: goes on behind the scenes, things that we deal with, 430 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 2: the things that I really said. So I wish everyone 431 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: would like we went from everybody being an economy major 432 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: and a marketing major now everybody is an expert on 433 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: labor negotiations and how unions are supposed to work. Like 434 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 2: it's been so bizarre reading and seeing how how people 435 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 2: think that the league should be ran, Because what league 436 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 2: have you ever played in? Or what league have you 437 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: ever ran? So I don't understand how people are so 438 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: boisterous over and over of how things should be, what 439 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: we should be asking for, what we shouldn't be asking for, Like, 440 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 2: y'all are not w NBA players, y'all are not professional athletes. 441 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: You don't know what we need what we what we want. Overall, 442 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 2: we're still stuck at revenue sharing. The CBA does everything 443 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: like we haven't even gotten into how contracts are going 444 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: to be negotiated, how the salary cap is even going 445 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: to be split up free, how free agency works, how 446 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: expansion works like every. 447 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: By having gotten to it, do you mean in your 448 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: negotiations with the W or wet it? 449 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 2: No, we can't even get past it in negotiations like 450 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: salary like it's like a big thing, But in the 451 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: seven million pages of the CBA it's like too. It's 452 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 2: like the three pages, like the CBA is. 453 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 3: A hold on. 454 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 2: Let me tell y'all, let me tell you how how 455 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 2: many pages our CBA is on my phone, because y'all know, 456 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: I have it right here because I read it. I 457 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: look through it often. I've had to look through it 458 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: a lot throughout my career. Okay, the Collective Bargaining Agreement 459 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 2: is three hundred and twenty one pages, and how many 460 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: pages are dedicated to revenue sharing? Two guys, Two pages 461 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 2: out of three hundred and twenty one are dedicated to 462 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: revenue sharing. So if y'all are interested in how far 463 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 2: off we are from this deal, there you go two 464 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 2: pages in the CBA is dedicated. Oh, I'll say four 465 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 2: pages for three to four pages. 466 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: That's really bad, lack see, I listen.

No, like it's worth it to me personally, 490 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 2: and I'm only speaking I'm speaking for a Lexi guys. 491 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: If we don't have a season and I miss my 492 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 2: W check and down the line, is worth it? 493 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 3: Like whatever? 494 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: If down the line maybe it's not worth it, I 495 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: feel like I'll be okay with that because I'll be 496 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 2: on the right. 497 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 3: Side of this, this entire thing. 498 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 2: A lot of us have already had to supplement our income. 499 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 3: Because of how low the salaries have been historically. 500 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 2: So the vast majority of the league has two three 501 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 2: hats outside of being a W player, and then overseas, 502 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 2: Like that's just always been the norm. Go overseas, play 503 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 2: one for money, but two because that's a long off season. 504 00:26:59,359 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 3: I'm not playing. 505 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 2: So I feel like even if these salaries do increase, 506 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 2: the season length is still going to be the same. 507 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 2: So a lot of players are still going to play 508 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 2: in the off season leagues or go overseas because for 509 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 2: a lot of us, it is about staying fresh, staying 510 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: ready to go, and not so much about money because 511 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 2: our season is so short. So that's all I wanted 512 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: to say about that, because I don't like that narrative 513 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 2: that because it then it makes the revenue and the 514 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 2: salary thing like even more massive of an issue when 515 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: there's like so many other issues that the majority of 516 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 2: us are staying firmon, that's outside of salary. So yeah, 517 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 2: I just wanted to say that about that because I 518 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: was personally a little offended. 519 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 3: By that comment. 520 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 4: You got it. 521 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 3: I was like, did we just get called bar? 522 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not doing that, but like I do know 523 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 2: it came from like a good place. I don't think 524 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 2: it was a malicious comment, but I feel like that 525 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 2: I'm not one of the ten to fifteen players that 526 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: she was alluding to. So I was like, Damn, that's 527 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: not accurate. That's not accurate. That's one player per team, Damn. 528 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: Near Like there's like multiple nil babies on a bunch 529 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:36,239 Speaker 2: of teams. That will be just fine. So yeah, I 530 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: just I just want you all to know that we're 531 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 2: standing firm. We have a meeting tonight. Yeah, Like again, 532 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: we all want to play, we would love to play. 533 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 2: We love our fans, we love the w all of that. 534 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 2: But this is monumental, a monumental moment right now. But 535 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: I am tired of not talking about free agency and 536 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: expansion and like those are all things that we want 537 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: to get to, and then when it does happen, it's 538 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: all gonna be rushed through and no one's gonna really 539 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: care for. Like this should have been like the most lit, exciting, 540 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: fun free agency ever, and it's gonna get like everybody 541 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 2: give coverage. Yeah, it's gonna be like three seconds of 542 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: coverage and everyone's going to move on to the next thing. 543 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 3: So I hate that. 544 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 4: Also, I said that also, we will cover it right here. 545 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you got we won't. We won't give it 546 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 3: three seconds. 547 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: We're gonna give it three million hours years days before 548 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: we get out of here. Do would you like to 549 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: give any flowers? 550 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 4: Of course I would. 551 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: It's Valentine's I am going to give my flowers to 552 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: Lindsey Vaughn because she skied on a torn acl and 553 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 1: I think that that is literally insane. I don't even 554 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: like to work out when I'm tired, so I could 555 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: only imagine skiing and the Olympics on a torn acl 556 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: like more power to hers. She ended up getting hurt 557 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: and having to be airlifted. But I think going out 558 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: there and doing that at forty one years old, knowing 559 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: like what the Olympics they only get once every four 560 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: years for that shot, is a testament to how brave 561 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: athletes are. 562 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 2: So shot out to her, yeah, yeah, I kind of, 563 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 2: I like tweeted something out about that, and I don't 564 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 2: really I don't like using people's names if I'm talking 565 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 2: about them, because it's like then it like ay, like whatever. 566 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 2: But I was like, I basically was just like why 567 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 2: did why did they let her ski with her torn me? 568 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 2: And I think a lot some people don't know that 569 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 2: I'm also an athlete sometimes, so the tone kind of 570 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 2: came off a little rude, which I apologized for, but 571 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: I still stood on my statement because like she's still 572 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 2: she's a goat, she's well respected. Her comeback had been 573 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,719 Speaker 2: following it had been amazing. My thought process was just 574 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: like the athletes, Like, I don't think you guys understand 575 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: like the level of psycho that athletes have to be 576 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 2: at times. For her to know that her knee was 577 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: she had a torn acl and for her to even 578 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 2: mentally prepare herself like physically is one thing, but mentally 579 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: prepare herself to still perform at the highest level on Earth. 580 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 2: It's the Olympics was like crazy, like you said, like 581 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 2: more power to her. I thought, like that was so 582 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 2: brave and like courageous. But again, for me, coming from 583 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: an athlete, it's just like we just like have that 584 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 2: no no quit, no stop button, And as much as 585 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 2: I admire it about us, I also despise it about us. 586 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 2: And that's where my comment came from. But sending her 587 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 2: prayers in love like she broke her whole leg. Even 588 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: her dad came out and was like, no, no more. 589 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 4: I agree with what you were saying. 590 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: With you what you said, like why would they let 591 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: her ski because if like this or any other sport 592 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: or context, that would be like literally why because you 593 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: have next year, But Olympians only have one every once 594 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: every four years. 595 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 4: So it's like you would approach your careers so differently. 596 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. If you're if your. 597 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: Big season, not that they're not like she doesn't ski otherwise, 598 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: but if your main season that everybody knows you for, 599 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: like your main moment was once every four years, Like 600 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: you got to take that because it's not like what 601 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: you're going to do. 602 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 2: It, but I mean, we're even getting her even getting 603 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 2: back to me, since I like, like researched her story 604 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 2: and saw what happened to her before her even getting 605 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 2: back to that point. I was like, girl, like, you 606 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 2: don't got nothing else to prove, but she was. She 607 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 2: was doing it for herself, doing it for her. 608 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: She's clearly got that athlete sick oh mindset for sure. 609 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 2: But yeah, I want to give my flowers to her 610 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 2: as well, because the comeback was incredible, her resilience incredible, 611 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 2: and I hate that. I mean, essentially, her career is 612 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 2: probably over, unfortunately, and I hate that for her because 613 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: that is not how you ever want to see someone's 614 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: career end. But she's that girl, and she's the goat 615 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 2: of skiing.
