Speaker 4: First of all, thank you.

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: I'm so happy for you.

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: One did you think you were going to win? Because

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: you're out it said, I'm coming here to win.

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: You know, I had no idea. I had no idea.

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: I keep getting told that the outfit was really like

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: an excuse to get a fit off. Yeah, you know,

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: like I knew I was gonna have my picture taken

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: and I knew it was going to be an occasion

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: where I am going to get to dress up, and

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: I don't get those a lot, you know, So I

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: really wanted to do the most and be extra.

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 4: I was just excited to be nominated.

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: To be honest, it was me and a bunch of athletes,

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: So I did not expect to win, literally at all.

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I was the smallest in my category and the winning

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: was based off of votes I just had. I literally

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: had no idea there was a professional soccer player in

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: my thing.

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: Like, I didn't think I was gonna win.

36
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: And when Jordan childs Jordan Child's presenting the award was

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: my fair part. When she was giving her a little

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: explanation about like you know how I do that, like

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: their little lead up, I thought she was talking about

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: an athlete, like let you know what I am. So

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: I still didn't think I was gonna win.

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: So I was.

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 4: I was at my mind shop. I didn't prepare anything

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: to say, like I.

45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: I had to do Wait, so you had to do

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: a speech. Yeah, I had to go.

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: I had to get up there and give a speech.

48
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: Were you nervous There's.

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: No way, Yeah I was. I was nervous as hell,

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 4: and I speak in front of people a lot.

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: That's so funny.

52
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 4: I was more nervous at the TikTok Awards than I

53
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: was speaking at Harvard.

54
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: No, literally, that's so funny you said that, because I

55
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: went to this event in LA and it was like

56
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: an awards ceremony, foundation fundraiser thing, and a bunch of

57
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: singers were getting awards. So I think, uh, Sierra got

58
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: an award, Jenne Ico got an award, Killannie got an award,

59
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: And they were so nervous up there speaking in front

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: of a crowd, and I found that so interesting, Like,

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: these are some of the most amazing performers that we've

62
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: seen grow grown up watching and they get and the

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: event was that big either, That's probably what it is,

64
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: like the more intimate settings it makes it were. The

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: more intimate settings make it even worse. And it was

66
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: just so funny them all, every single one of them

67
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: one up there, They're like, I'm so nervous talking in

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: front of it. Maria the Scientist was up there. I'm

69
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: just so nervous talking everybody, And I'm like, first of all,

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: y'all be performing and singing your little asses off in

71
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: front of tens of thousands of people, but it's like

72
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: two hundred of us are here and they were up

73
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: there like so nervous. So I always think that's so interesting.

74
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: But when you want I was voting for you, I'm

75
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,440

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,640

81
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: excited for you. So that's how you ended your twenty

82
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: twenty five. Was that the highlight of your twenty twenty five?

83
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: No, I mean it was like it was a really

84
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: little way to end the year, and it was like

85
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the cap on everything that the year brought and that

86
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: the year was. But I feel like the whole thing,

87
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: like I started off the year speaking at Harvard, and

88
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: I ended off the year winning the TikTok Wars Creator

89
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: of the Year, I started a company, like I like,

90
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: I feel the lot happen this year.

91
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 4: But I mean, and we're going to talk a little

92
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 4: bit about New Year's resolutions.

93
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: Today and I just feel like looking over my year

94
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: last year, I felt like in twenty twenty three twenty

95
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: twenty four, I kind of set, you know, my boundaries,

96
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: and I created systems and habits that like allowed me

97
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 1: to succeed in twenty twenty five. So like the working

98
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: out every day and the waking up early, and most

99
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: of those things like are New Year's resolutions of years past.

100
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: And then last year, I feel like I experienced a

101
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: lot of success career wise, and towards the end of

102
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: the year, I.

103
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: Realized, I'm like, I really want twenty twenty six to.

104
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: Be about like learning myself more, like getting to know

105
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: myself a little bit better so that I can like

106
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: make better decisions and work and in life and like

107
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: know what I want to prioritize. But then on top

108
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: of that, like focusing on my hobbies and like having fun.

109
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 1: I feel like hygh productivity. Hyper productivity is so bad

110
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: for your like mental, and I don't My mental is

111
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: pretty good right now. But like I just feel like

112
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: I want to lean more into like a reading books

113
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: and like watching movies just for fun, and like watching

114
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: sports just for fun again. So our season two was

115
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: kind of perfect for that because we're both like kind

116
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: of together leaning more into like having fun with the

117
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: sports stuff.

118
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think this is stuff that's the

119
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: perfect segue into our resolutions, you know how I mean,

120
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: you spoke a little bit of what your twenty twenty

121
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: five was like, and we'll get into all the sports

122
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: things at some point, but like Maria just said, like

123
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: we're trying to like tap into more you know, personal

124
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: growth conversations in this pod and just uplifting each other

125
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: and just being able to share more personal stories. I

126
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: will say, like this first week of January has whooped

127
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 2: my entire ass. Like I have no idea that I

128
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: was going to be so sad leaving my family after

129
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: the holidays, Like I want to move back home, Like

130
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: I want to move back to the East Coast.

131
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: Like this has been such.

132
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: An eye opening year, or was an eye opening year

133
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, because it was like since I

134
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: left high school, this was like the first like twelve

135
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: month cycle that I didn't really go home and spend

136
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: a significant amount of time at home with my family,

137
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: and I didn't realize how much that was like weighing

138
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: on me and how much I was missing having that

139
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: part of my life until I went back home for

140
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: the ten days I did for Christmas. And when I left,

141
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: I was like distraught, and my mom when she hears that,

142
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 2: she's gonna I know, she's gonna call me and be like, why.

143
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: Did you tell me you were so upset when you left?

144
00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 3: Like I did.

145
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: I literally just left, And when I got back to LA,

146
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: I was like, I really miss my family. And this

147
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: like first week of January has been horrible for me. Mentally. Physically,

148
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: it's been great. I've been in the gym, I've been

149
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: getting it in. I feel amazing. I'm ready for au

150
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: but mentally I've been like struggling a little bit. So

151
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: you know, this is the first Monday of the year,

152
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: of the new year, and I feel like I'm finally

153
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: kind of getting my life back together mentally.

154
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: But this first few days I was like, I.

155
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: Was so sad, and I was like, I've never felt

156
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: like this for New Year's before, And I think that's why,

157
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: because I like, really I really missed my family and

158
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: being around them and stuff like that.

159
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy how that happens? Like you can be

160
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: doing like so sad personally or like dealing with something mentally,

161
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: but at the same time be killing it in like

162
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: your career and your productivity and in your work, Like

163
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: it's probably because people channel. It's like how musical artists

164
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: make their best music when they're up, Like it's probably

165
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: because of that. But also something that you said that

166
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: was interesting to me, what you were going to talk about,

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: why do we do that? So I do the same thing.

168
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: I could be like, you know, like I love my family,

169
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: like enjoying time with them and spending time with them

170
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: and like have an emotional like epiphany while with my family,

171
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: like Wow, this.

172
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: Is what life's all about. And I don't like tell them.

173
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: Sure don't like I don't. I mean, well, if I

174
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: my mom has been telling me to move back to Florida,

175
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: even move back into the house with them, for like

176
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: a few months now, because she's my mom.

177
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: She knows me.

178
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: She can sense when I'm like bothered and I'm upset,

179
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: And like you said, like being a high productivity person

180
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: is amazing, but it's also so bad because you're able

181
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: to put a lot of things on the back burner

182
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 2: and oh, I gotta get this done. I want to

183
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: do this, I want accomplish this, I want accomplish that,

184
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: And honestly, like I got back to make matters worse

185
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: when I got back from Christmas, I had a little

186
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: paper in my door from my apartment complex saying that

187
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: they were raising my rent in March, which is when

188
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: my lease is up. But I was like, oh, maybe

189
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: I'll stay a little bit longer.

190
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 4: I don't.

191
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: That was the biggest, Like I didn't you know, You're like, God,

192
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: send me a sign. And he's like, Okay, I'm gonna

193
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: make you feel sad. And I'm like, all right, I

194
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: need a sign. Your sign, Okay, your rent's gonna go up,

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: so now what are you gonna do?

196
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm not staying here. I know that.

197
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: So even coming into twenty twenty six, like I had,

198
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: everything is so uncertain for me, Like our CBA is

199
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: not done. I mean technically I'm signed with a Storm,

200
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: but like that's not setting in stone either. We have

201
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: the expansion Draft, I could get traded again, like we

202
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: might not have a season. So I'm just kind of

203
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: like just going enter into twenty twenty six. I'm like,

204
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to be present, try to be where my

205
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 2: feet are. But I'm a very type are human being,

206
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: so I think even that is kind of like it's

207
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: got my mind all messed up because I'm like in

208
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: this gray area of life right now, and I'm like,

209
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: what am I going to do? And i just want

210
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: to just go home in my parents' house and hang

211
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: out with them. And I've been seeing and it's like

212
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 2: not catching me by surprise. I was just hoping that

213
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: we would get the CBA done and then everything would

214
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: just like fall into place. But we'll also get into

215
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: that a little bit later at CBA updates, because they're

216
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: not good if you guys have been reading and following

217
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: anything that's been going around with the CBA. But I'm

218
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: excited to have this show in this platform, as you know,

219
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: kind of like an outlet.

220
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: And to like just be honest and be real.

221
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: I feel like the last two years of my life,

222
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: I've been so focused on getting health, like my body healthy,

223
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: and it was really really hard. It probably could have

224
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: like even taken a little bit longer to get healthy,

225
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: but I was so focused and so determined to get

226
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: back as quick as I could. And now that I'm

227
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: finally feeling amazing and great physically, I think everything like

228
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: I didn't. I wasn't neglecting the mental part of it.

229
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: I was acknowledging that that part was going to be hard,

230
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: but now that like, now it's here, Like okay, girl,

231
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: Like your body is fine, like your health is good.

232
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: Now you got to get right up here mentally and

233
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: realign yourself and continue to walk in your purpose and

234
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 2: go back to doing things that make you happy. Like

235
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: I think that kind of like smacked me in the face.

236
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: When twenty twenty six arrived. I was like, okay, girl,

237
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: time to get it together. Yeah.

238
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 4: I relate to that a lot because it's like I

239
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: feel like the.

240
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: Basic New Yor's resolution is like, go get in the gym,

241
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: get more discipline. You're literally a specional athlete, you have that,

242
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: And I relate. I'm like, I work out every single day.

243
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: At the same time, I don't miss the gym. I

244
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: hate pretty good. I'm not like tripping on that. It's

245
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: like all that tangible stuff is really easy. It comes

246
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: easily to me making it to my work stuff, like

247
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, making sure my money is straight.

248
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 4: Like all that stuff is easy.

249
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: Then when I'm like I think, and I think things

250
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: like the holidays kind of force you to in like

251
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: the things that are going on CBA and you know,

252
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: God literally making you sit down and be like look

253
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: at your life, girl, Like you can be high productivity

254
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: all you want, but you got to deal with what's.

255
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: Going on here.

256
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: So I have you absolutely, And I mean I wrote

257
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: a little resolutions list, but like I always find your

258
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: resolution so funny because I'm like.

259
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: Why do we all why do we wait.

260
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 2: Until a new year to make a dramatic change? I

261
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: think it's so funny. I haven't looked it up. I

262
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: was like, what is a resolution?

263
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: And where did this come from?

264
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: Apparently they started over four thousand years ago, so like

265
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: this has like been thing. So I feel like the

266
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: world has just been programmed to take the new year

267
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: to like new new year knew me, which I always

268
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: think is so funny. Like you just said, like if

269
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: you're a disciplined person and you be in the gym

270
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: and you are on top of your stuff and you're

271
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: excelling at work and your money's right, like.

272
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: What do you like? You really got to look at yourself.

273
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what happened to me, and it

274
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: kind of seems like it's happening to you right now.

275
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I think on the top of my list

276
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: is I want to like go back to going to church.

277
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: I want to start getting locked back in with my

278
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: faith and like literally like I haven't for me, and

279
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: I know, like I don't know like if we could

280
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: get into like all that kind of stuff on this show,

281
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: but like I'm definitely open to it. For me, like

282
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: I grew up going to church every Sunday, like I

283
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: grew up going a Bible study, I went to youth group,

284
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: and then as I got older, I got way more

285
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: in tune with my spirituality and my relationship with God

286
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: and the Lord.

287
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: But my way.

288
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: But I do feel like there's an importance of being

289
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: present in the House of God and being surrounded by

290
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: people who are also wanting to be president in the

291
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: House of God because there's only so much you can

292
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: absorb and consume and do by yourself. And I'm a

293
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 2: person I love to do everything by myself. I love

294
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: being alone. I literally watched church last night in my bed,

295
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: like I'm like I want to do by myself. But

296
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: there's something about It's like calling me is drawing me there,

297
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: and I feel like when that happens, you have to listen.

298
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: And that's how I have That's one of the biggest

299
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: things that has like stuck out to me these past

300
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: few days. Is that God's like, girl, go to church,

301
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: even if you have to go by yourself. Like I

302
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: have a bunch of friends that go to this church

303
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: in LA that I really have enjoyed going to, but

304
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: I've only been a few times. But that's something that

305
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: is like really stuck out to me, is that I

306
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: need to get back into consistently showing up every Sunday.

307
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna hope hopefully I can do that. Like

308
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: I wrote it down, I really at least want to

309
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: get there like twice a month minimum, and then watch

310
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: online if I have to. But that's something that has

311
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: just stuck out to me that's important to me.

312
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: So outside of.

313
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, mine is I'm going to go in person once

314
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: a month. I try to do.

315
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: I have a friend who's like my little accountability partner

316
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: with church, but we go together like at the first

317
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: week of the of the month, and then the rest

318
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: of the weeks I watch online. But at least if

319
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: I go in person once a month, that I'm at

320
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: least like, at least I'm getting there. And I think

321
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: if you can't give God, like I feel like we

322
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: can't be asking for a bunch of stuff that I

323
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: can't be.

324
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: Like make me skinny, make me make me successful.

325
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 5: And I can't even make a Sunday right for two

326
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 5: hours Sunday, not even And like for me now that

327
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 5: we're older, like you can like make like a whole

328
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 5: little cute afternoon of it, like it doesn't have to

329
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 5: be like a chore.

330
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: And I feel like for so many years, even when

331
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: I was younger, sometimes you're.

332
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: Like you're out.

333
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: Like I would go to like sleepovers at my friend's

334
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: house and my mom w be like, I'm gonna get

335
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: you in the morning for church, and I'd be like no,

336
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: but like she never like she was like, I don't

337
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: care if you don't want to go, like you're going,

338
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: And that has been so important to me, especially in

339
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: hard times. I was like, I look back, I think

340
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: about like all the all the stuff I've learned in church,

341
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: all the lessons and all the things that you can

342
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: apply to hard times to good times.

343
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: And I feel like.

344
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: Not that I'm like I'm I'm not unhappy right now,

345
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: but I do feel like there is something missing somewhere

346
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: in my life and I feel like I just I

347
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: went through I would say like the last two years

348
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: of my life have been very difficult, very very difficult.

349
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: And I feel like now I'm finally in a really

350
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: good place. Now I can go to church, I can

351
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: be around other people that want to be in church

352
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: and want to you know, improve their life and improve

353
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: their purpose. And I feel like I'm ready to I'm

354
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: ready to accept that now. I wasn't ready before. So

355
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm excited about that. That is something that

356
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm very excited about. You know, this year is leaning

357
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: into that, but then not making it like my whole personality,

358
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: Like I know, you see, yeah, some people do that.

359
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 4: I didn't kill anybody. I didn't kill anybody.

360
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't need to get randomly super religious on social media. Yeah.

361
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 4: I like when I see that, I'm like, what did

362
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 4: you do?

363
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: What did you do for you to just be so

364
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: like complete one eight? Like I love it for them,

365
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: Like it is so weird seeing those like people under

366
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: their like under those people's pages, like what are you doing?

367
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 3: What is this? Like?

368
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: Are you you're mad that someone is improving their relationship

369
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: with guys Like I know that maybe it's not their

370
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: you know, typical content, but for you to sit there

371
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: and comment something mean and nasty, that is when someone's

372
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: just like I just want to live, you know, in

373
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: my purpose and be closer to the Lord. And you

374
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: have something weird to say, then there's something wrong with you.

375
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: Or when people was outfit of the day for church

376
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: and people got mean to say.

377
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, at least going I sometimes I like, when

378
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: I'm scrolling, I'm like, are y'all cool? Are y'all okay?

379
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: Truly no, And it's so crazy. I mean, it's not

380
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: fun to look at comments of certain things, but it's

381
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 2: like you see like a regular like for example, did

382
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: you see the girl with the three hundred and sixty

383
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: five buttons?

384
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: Have you seen that on TikTok? Yes?

385
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 4: Okay, So I don't have to explain this.

386
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: To anybody that is my twenty twenty six model. Hey,

387
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: it really just has to make sense to me. And

388
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 2: I'm not explaining it no more. But the fact that

389
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: people were so worked up about this girl putting buttons

390
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 2: in a jar for herself, I'm like, who cares why.

391
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: She doing it?

392
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: I never understood it, Like I was like when I

393
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: first heard about it, like the first time I heard

394
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: a girl posted on TikTok saying that she was gonna

395
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: put three hundred and sixty five buttons in.

396
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 3: A jar or whatever.

397
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, good for her. I didn't think anything.

398
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: I was that I mean, And when I saw kind

399
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: of the explanation, she was like, it's gonna like keep

400
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: like hold me accountable for like the time that's passing,

401
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: Like the more full of the jar is, the more

402
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: time has passed.

403
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: I thought it was a very simple concept.

404
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: Very simple concept was like, are you gonna sew the

405
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: buttons on something?

406
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: Where are the buttons going?

407
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: They're not going anywhere, They're going in the jar, like

408
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: and their button what do there's like.

409
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: A button shortage?

410
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: Who cares a button shortage?

411
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: And even if there was, if she has access to

412
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty five of them, good for her

413
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: because she was ahead of the curve. If there was

414
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: a button shortage, Oh my goodness, graces shout out to her. Okay,

415
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: so we're in twenty twenty six. We got, you know,

416
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: our resolutions out, our intentions for twenty twenty six. Me

417
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: and Mariah are so aligned it actually is crazy. And

418
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: believe it or not, guys, like we barely spoke over

419
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 2: the break. We really were like, we're gonna have a

420
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 2: hard reset. And come back to season two, you know,

421
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 2: re energize. So the fact that we're so aligned like

422
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: this is kind of crazy.

423
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: But I love it. Love that for us.

424
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 2: We're gonna get into some basketball talk and sports talk.

425
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: Where do we want to start. Let's start with Unrivaled

426
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: because they're actually playing right now. They have there's a

427
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: game on right now, it's on my TV. First win

00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: of the season went to the Mist Brianna Stewart with

429
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: the game winner. I wasn't able to watch. I was

430
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: at my workout, but I had no idea that the

431
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: games were on this early. Uh So, if you guys

432
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 2: do not know what Unrivaled is, if you are new

433
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 2: to the pod, new to women's sports. Unrivaled is a

434
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: three on three basketball league started and founded by Brihanna

435
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: Stewart and the Feasta Collier. Started last season was a

436
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: huge success, so successful that they added two new teams.

437
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: The Hive and the Breeze.

438
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: I want to say so now they have one, two,

439
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: three four eight teams, the Myss, the Phantom, the Rose,

440
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: the Vinyl, the Lunar Owls, the Laces, the Breeze and

441
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: the Hive. Last year the Rose won. The runner up

442
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 2: was the Lunar Owls and they tipped off today which

443
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: is January fifth. So by the time this episode drops,

444
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: all of the games will we have completed, But so

445
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: far only one game has been completed in that win

446
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: went to the mist. So I'm excited about this season

447
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: of Unrivaled, lots of new faces, new teams, new coaches. Yeah,

448
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: you know, they'd be pushing out their content. That's what

449
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 2: they do. I'm like, they're like a content house that

450
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: hoops basically.

451
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: That's literally what it's like.

452
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 2: That's what it looks like like if basketball had a

453
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 2: content house, it would be Unrivaled.

454
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 3: They'd be doing their big one.

455
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 2: Like I will say, like a lot of people do

456
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: say that athletes unlimited, we need to like tien up

457
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: with our content. But there is an art to pushing

458
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: out content like that, and I mean it's not easy.

459
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 3: And you know when.

460
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: People like just make more videos, just make more videos,

461
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: like you know, you still have to like have the

462
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: right personalities, the right alignment.

463
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: You can't just do like random stuff.

464
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: And I think that is something that Unrivaled does a

465
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: really really good job, is the content always aligns with

466
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: who they have the person doing the content, like right now,

467
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: for example, azare Azray Stevens My girl. Her her little

468
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,920

00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: So I think that's fun.

478
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: I love that for her because her personality is so

479
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,199

Speaker 3: And then she's going to be hooping on top of it.

483
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: She had a good she had a good season this summer,

484
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: had a great Unrivaled season last year. So I'm excited

485
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: for as a Ray. Who else are some notable.

486
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 4: I want them to do the one on one tournament.

487
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 4: I think it's during Valentine's Day.

488
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: And I wonder if they're going to change goals because

489
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: you already know how I felt about that one on

490
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 2: one with the post players beating down on all the guards.

491
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,239
Speaker 2: That was crazy, but that was exciting. So I'm very

492
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: excited to see the one one competition as well.

493
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 3: I think they're taking it on the road.

494
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: I think they're going to Philly and playing some games

495
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia, which I think is really cool. So yeah,

496
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: I vote of course doing their their their biggest one

497
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: yet again, do you have any.

498
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: Predictions for who's gonna.

499
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 4: Win this year?

500
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: Riah?

501
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: Literally no, because the Rose, like they were terrible at

502
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: the beginning, remember that.

503
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: They really snap up and one yeah, and some underdogs

504
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: they were. They were the underdogs, and like it was

505
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: so weird, like everyone was kind of like, oh, the Rose,

506
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, everybody like wanted the

507
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 2: Rose to win because the Lunar Owls were whooping ass

508
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: all season, and I hated that for them because I'm like, Okay, yes,

509
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: we love an underdog. But we said this about the

510
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: MVP stuff, like it is okay to cheer for the

511
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: better player. It's okay to cheer for the better scene,

512
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: Like you don't always have to always root on someone's downfall.

513
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 2: You also can cheer for both, but people were like

514
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 2: really not wanting the Lunar Owls to win because they

515
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: were playing like they were winning so much that I've

516
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 2: never understood.

517
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 4: People hate winners.

518
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: That's a whole other that's a whole other side. Rant

519
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: I could go on, but I think that people, especially

520
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: for sports fans, love to attach themselves, including myself.

521
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 4: I've been guilty of this.

522
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: It's like the rooting for Lamar Jackson twenty four to

523
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: seven to win because he hasn't, and like hating Patrick.

524
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 4: Mahomes because he always wins. It's sports fans love that love.

525
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: That, Like I who was I was literally talking to

526
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: somebody randomly and they were talking about like how Patrick

527
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: Mahomes got hurt and they're like, thank god, I'm tired

528
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: of him. I was like, oh my gosh, it is

529
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: never that serious towards hall Acm. I would never wish

530
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: that on anybody. I don't care how many times you'd

531
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: be my would never They.

532
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 3: Said that, I never wish, how loud out of their mouths.

533
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: I said, okay, like it is not that serious, Like yes, okay,

534
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: everyone was tired of Kansas City winning wamp wah wamp

535
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: who cares is a sport. He's he was fantastic and

536
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: their little run that team was incredible. But for people

537
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: to be celebrating someone getting injured.

538
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 3: Like that's disgusting behavior. But I agree with you.

539
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 4: I will not. I'm not.

540
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 3: I know number one in Kansas City dislike her over there.

541
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: I do get that.

542
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: No, I can't stand that, but I will say I

543
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: for some reason, I've been thinking about this recently, and

544
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: this is kind of a sidebar, just like about sports,

545
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: but like I genuinely get like I take it so personal,

546
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know why I need to like really

547
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: get over myself. I can only imagine how you feel

548
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: as an athlete. But like, for example, like Georgia lost,

549
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: I was.

550
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: Gonna ask you how you felt about that Atlanta fashion.

551
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: I genuinely took that so personally like I was so

552
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: I was mad about it.

553
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 4: The next day I was took that. I took that

554
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: so perfect.

555
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm still mad at it talking about it right now,

556
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Like every time I think about it, I get mad,

557
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: and I like want it to be next year again.

558
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 4: I felt when I was sitting at that game and watched.

559
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: The dream loop.

560
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: Don't even again in true Atlanta in true Atlanta's more fashion.

561
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 4: But like I genuinely was thinking about that. I thought

562
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: about it the next day. I thought about that.

563
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: Then I'm like, I can only imagine like crazier people

564
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: than me. Like that's why people act like that because

565
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: I take it so personal and there's nothing I can

566
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: get out there and do. I can't get out in

567
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: the court hoop, I can't get on the field and

568
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: throw or catch, and it it hurts so bad when

569
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: your sports team loses bro or it.

570
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 4: Hurts so bad.

571
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 3: Sorts fandom is so interesting.

572
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: My best friend Joy is from Memphis, and you know,

573
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: loves Memphis basketball, loves the Memphis Grizzlies. And I'm just like,

574
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: how does it feel like you've never experienced a championship?

575
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, I'm not trying to be rude, but

576
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: like I've girl watching the Red Sox, cheering for the

577
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 2: Red Sox, the Patriots, the Celtics.

578
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: I went to Duke, like I've I've.

579
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 2: Experienced so many championships as a fan on my little teams.

580
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: And there are people out.

581
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 4: There that's why you feel that way, And there.

582
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 3: Are people out there who have never experienced a win.

583
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: I can't I told her, I said, Lexie, I was like,

584
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 2: I can't imagine being you as a fan like you've

585
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 2: never experienced.

586
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: That's why you feel that way about about Patrick Mahomes

587
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: and and when we talk about like Asia Wilson winning MVP's,

588
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: and when we talk about winners, like rooting for winners.

589
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: That's why you feel that way because you were a

590
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: Patriots fan, you're a Celtics fan.

591
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 4: And you root for Duke makes so much sense.

592
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: I grew up watching greatness.

593
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: Okay, everybody like, shn you imagine, Like I can't even imagine.

594
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: I would have Like did you see that video of

595
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: that little boy who was.

596
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: A Jets fan and he was like crying.

597
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: He was like, I was born into this, Like sir

598
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: little First of all, he.

599
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: Was like he had to be like sixteen years old

600
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: if he wanted to. She was a new team. She

601
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: was a new team. Well you could guys, just go

602
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: pick another team.

603
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: He was like, really on the bird, that was like

604
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: on the bird, it was so funny and I felt

605
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: so sad for him. He was like, I hate this team,

606
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 2: but I was born into this, Like I don't know,

607
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: like this is all I know is the Jets and

608
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't relate.

609
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 4: I was so tired of losing.

610
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: I started rooting for the Warriors just feeling right.

611
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 4: But I will say I didn't.

612
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: I didn't start experiencing being a winner as a fan

613
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: and having everyone hate us until Georgia was like, we

614
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: didn't win a championships back and back and we didn't

615
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: lose for two years straight, all.

616
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: Of a sudden, everybody's mad.

617
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: But I think the whole other sidebar we can talk

618
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: about another day about how people, especially women, and I

619
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: think this goes to women's sports, and we could have

620
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: a whole show on this, Like they don't like to

621
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: see women like Pop there, Pop there, you know, unless

622
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: they look or act a certain kind of way, like

623
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: if you can if you are very like timid and

624
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: low key and don't boast about yourself a lot, and

625
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: like you do things on the lie, people enjoy to

626
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: see you succeed because they're like, yeah, like that, they

627
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: sure they know how to play, they play the right way,

628
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. But if you're a little bit

629
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: more like loud and boastful, or like a Shadoor Sanders

630
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: or like an angel, or like even the Asia kind

631
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: of popped herself.

632
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: Yo, are not on the court with any of these people,

633
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: Like a lot of the people that think don't be

634
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: popping it. Be popping it, and as they should. That's

635
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: what sports is, that's what makes it fun. I'm glad

636
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: that you said that. That's the perfect transition into talking

637
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: a little bit about college uh hoops right now, because

638
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: I feel like the perfect example of that is LSU

639
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: women's basketball. And it's like I've never seen like somebody

640
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: like people want a team to like lose so badly

641
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: and they have lost tunerow now. They started SEC, which

642
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: honestly not surprising because their non conference was like out

643
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: urrageously horrible, horrendous, and it usually is, but this year

644
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: was like something different. Like I was like, I don't

645
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: know what this schedule is, and it's gonna catch up

646
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: to them at some point, and it adds two games

647
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: in a row. I don't understand, Like I understand people

648
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 2: have their issues with, you know, the coach and the

649
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: money and all that other stuff, but at the end

650
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: of the day, these are just a group of very

651
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: confident young women playing basketball. And the way that they've

652
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: been like completely like villainized the last few years, Like I.

653
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: Just I don't like that.

654
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: And then even the thing with FLAJ with the USA

655
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: Basketball when they put that video out of her really

656
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: struggling with that mentally, like people, I know what that

657
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: USA basketball is. Like, I'm not a USA basketball fan.

658
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: I have my own personal issues with USA basketball. I've

659
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: been on a team, I've won a gold medal, it's

660
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: been cool, great experience, but at the end of the

661
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: day that it can really mess with your mental and

662
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: I think that's what we saw with what happened with Flag.

663
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 3: But she came into the season and you saw she.

664
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: Was popping it to Carol loss and when they played

665
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: Duke like things like that. But like that's the fun

666
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: part about sports. It's like you can have a hard

667
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: moment and at the end of the day, you gotta

668
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: do what you gotta do in between those lines.

669
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: And that's what FAJ did at Duke.

670
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: When she was like screaming at Karl Lawson. I was like, whoahoa,

671
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: what's tea. I had no idea none of that happened

672
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: with the USA Basketball. So when I did my little digging,

673
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: I said, oh, that's why she was screaming at Carol

674
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: Lawson at half court. I thought it was amazing because

675
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: I know what that shit feels like. But they're owing

676
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 2: to an SEC. They didn't lose to bad teams, so

677
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: let's put that out out there. A lot of upsets

678
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: this weekend and the top twenty five has shifted. Duke

679
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: is still not ranked, which is fine, but they did

680
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: beat Notre Dame yesterday, so cheers collaps for them going

681
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: down the top twenty five. The SEC has eight ranked teams,

682
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: with three in the top five. The Big Ten has

683
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 2: nine ranked teams with three in the top ten. The

684
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 2: ACC only has two ranked, which I was I didn't

685
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: like seeing that. The Big twelve has four ranked in

686
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: the Big East obviously Yukon, who's also the number one

687
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: overall team in the country. Have you been watching any

688
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: women's basketball. I mean there's been a lot of there's

689
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: been a lot of basketball on. I've been trying to

690
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: tap it when I can, but it's been a lot.

691
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: That's how I've been.

692
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 4: That's how I've been.

693
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: I tap in when I can, but I do have

694
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: I do have. Okay, LSU, here's the thing. Here's the

695
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: thing with LSU.

696
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 4: Now, people don't like LSU.

697
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: As you know, residuals from Angel being there, they still

698
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: can't get that taste out their mouth and people don't

699
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: like Angel and so that's just that they associate them

700
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: with that. But it's like there are two sides of

701
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: hating LSU. There's the like people who hate LSU because

702
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: they hate Angel Rees and let's and residually hate Flage

703
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: because they hated Angel Rees for so long and it's

704
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: just kind of like they're so annoying, we don't like them,

705
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: and then they won to make it even worse, So

706
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: like I just feel like that makes it worse for

707
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: a hater. But then there's also the side of people

708
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: that hate Kim Molkie. Like and when you see something

709
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: like Kim Molki and Lane.

710
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 4: Kiffin walking out to a sold out crowd, which is fine.

711
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 1: That they have that many people at their games, which

712
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: that's that's that's hard, but things like that it makes

713
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: you not like like those two suck, like you know,

714
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: so it's like like two as a fan. So that's

715
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: why I mean, when you couple that together, but that

716
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: makes a great sports dynamic, Like when you have it's like,

717
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the Patriots, you know, people

718
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: hate Tom Brady, people hate Bill Belichick, people hate them all,

719
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: but like they win, they have to win the win.

720
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: And I think that if you're not winning. And we

721
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: talked about this on our first show I think of

722
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: the season or our last show of last season, I

723
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: can't remember, but we talked about this already.

724
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 4: In the sense that, like, you can't put yourself up to.

725
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: Play a bunch of bad teams so that you can

726
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: win by fifty and we can all you know, they're

727
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: so by whatever. And then when you're actually an sec play,

728
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: which is you know, who you actually have to go

729
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: up against, like the competition that we're actually comparing you

730
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: to and lose to and a row you know what

731
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean? Like that correct, So that's why people.

732
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: Don't like and I hate it because you know, what

733
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: happened in whatever what season was it that was two

734
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: years ago, you know, I was kind of like fallen off,

735
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: even though they're still right they're fourteenth right now, like

736
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: they're playing really well. LSU was top five, now they're twelve.

737
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: I think they fell after these two losses. But like,

738
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 2: what has like I said before when this was going on,

739
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 2: what has always disappointed me about the coverage of women's sports,

740
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 2: and the coach at UCLA said the same thing, Like

741
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 2: she said that they had a rate game, two ranked games,

742
00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: they had one media member for them one and she

743
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: was very vocal and very upset that there wasn't that

744
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: much media coverage for that game. And that's something that

745
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: I've always talked about, like why when these megastars left.

746
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: We have a megastar with Juju that's hurt. Why why

747
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: is the coverage? Why did the coverage.

748
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: Leave with it?

749
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 2: And there's some really really good basketball being played right

750
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: now by a handful of players, and the fact that

751
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: we're not seeing them all over the place like we

752
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 2: see them on socials, of course, but like it's nowhere

753
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: near what it was two years ago. And obviously that

754
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: was the product of like a perfect storm and Villain

755
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: and just what was going on in the world, and

756
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: it was just like a lot of moving parts for

757
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 2: that to happen. But it showed me that when y'all

758
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: want to cover women's sports, y'all can cover women's sports.

759
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't think, you know, I don't

760
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 2: think anybody is like listening to us to be like, oh,

761
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 2: Brian Lexi said that we need to do better.

762
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 3: So we're going to do better.

763
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 2: But it's like, I just haven't seen that much coverage

764
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 2: of women's basketball this year. Like, you have a player

765
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 2: and Audie Crooks who's averaging like thirty points a game

766
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 2: right now. I Aoway State, like she's averaging thirty, Hannah

767
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 2: Hidalgo is averaging twenty five, mikaeleb Blake's averaging twenty five,

768
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: Laura McGill, I think that's her name, Lauren McGill, right, no,

769
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 2: live McGill, excuse me?

770
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: Twenty five points per game. And these aren't big Power

771
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: five conferences.

772
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: Usually those players that are averaging all those points are

773
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 2: usually like in mid majors or smaller schools. These are

774
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: all Power five acc SEC, Big twelve schools, and the

775
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 2: fact that we do not see them all over the place.

776
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 2: Maybe not Hildago right now because Notre Dame is going

777
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: through their little one two and I think they're going

778
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 2: to be just fine. But Audie Crooks, I Alway State

779
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: has been hooping, Vanderbilt's been hooping, Florida's been hooping.

780
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I'm challenging you, but I'm like, who's

781
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 3: listening to us?

782
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, But I'm like, I would love to

783
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 2: see you, but it's fair. I would love to see

784
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: more of these teams and these stories being uplifted and

785
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: then even continue to follow the LSU like I love

786
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: the ebbs and flows of the season.

787
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 3: That's what makes success so much fun. It is fun.

788
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, when it's like oop up up up, success six

789
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 2: sex and d that's fun. But having the ups and

790
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: downs and then eventually finding success, like that's what makes

791
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: some stories like a little bit more special than others.

792
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: So obviously, don't ever count LSU out. They're way too talented.

793
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 2: And Kim is a great coach despite how anybody feels

794
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: about her. You know, I even have hundred feelings about her.

795
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 2: I don't know her, but after having Klonie on here

796
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: and how highly she spoke of her, like I was like,

797
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 2: I have to believe like what Klanni's saying, Like, you know,

798
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 2: people have good experiences, people have bad experiences, and that's fine.

799
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 2: I don't have any experience with her, so I'm like, okay, whatever,

800
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: but I can root for good basketball, and I can

801
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: root for these young girls that go out there every

802
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 2: day and play basketball and do their best and all

803
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: of those things. So I just want better coverage for

804
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: conference play. I know non conference play is a little hard,

805
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: so I'll give it. I'll give people some grace on that,

806
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: but I'm excited for conference play.

807
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 3: I have no idea who's well.

808
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 2: Yukon and South Carolina kinda are the one, A, one

809
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 2: B in my mind, but I still don't know who's

810
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 2: gonna win. So not conference play, guys, tune in. It's

811
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: gonna be it's gonna be really exciting. We were gonna

812
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: get into some CBA stuff, but.

813
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 3: We don't really have time to. We will talk about that.

814
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: Next week because by next week our extension period will

815
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: have been over January ninth. Oh so four days from

816
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: now our extension is officially over. Doesn't mean that we're

817
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: gonna lock out or strike once January tenth comes. But

818
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: January ninth was like the deadline to reach an agreement

819
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 2: and we're not close to that at all. So I

820
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 2: want to also ad, are you get a flower segment back?

821
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to give a flower to the Players Association

822
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: and the WNBA players for standing on business, giving us

823
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: flowers for that, giving Leila Edwards a flower being the

824
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: first black woman to play for Team USA, and hockey

825
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 2: in the Winter Olympics next month.

826
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: And then a flower.

827
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: That we should have probably given a few weeks ago,

828
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 2: but to text A and M women's volleyball for winning

829
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 2: the national championship.

830
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 4: I was gonna say that.

831
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 2: So those are the flowers for our first episode of

832
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,120

Speaker 1: team like that, that is not easy. And in volleyball,

841
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: you don't just win once. You have to beat them

842
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: three times. And that I mean it was some of

843
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: the best volleyball I've ever watched my life.

844
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,720
