WEBVTT - Not everyone is meant to be an athlete 0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:08.559 From the King of sports Books comes the Key sports 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:20.400 podcast Unleashed, presented by MGM. Here's your host, Olivia Rlan Decker. 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.840 Welcome back to Unleashed. It is a great week. There 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.520 is so much going on in the world of sports 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.879 right now. As Olympics are kind of wrapping up, USA 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.120 is looking good and be a free agency Oh my gosh, 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:42.920 it's hard to keep up with all these headlines and 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.239 the NFL preseasons right around the corner of a Hall 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.199 of Fame game is this week. There's so much to 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.240 talk about with NFL training camps, Jana's papas, are you ready? 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.040 I am ready, I'm born ready, I'm ready to do this. 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.320 Hit the gun, let's go. I don't want to fall start, 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.760 but let's try it again. Okay? Uh NBA free agency, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.720 is there one player in particular or team that you 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.679 were watching a little bit more closely? That is there? 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.960 Is there anything that you were so excited about or 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.679 so bummed about. I was it was nice to see 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.240 Trey Young get a bag. As the kids say, he 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.800 got a couple of bags. There better be wheels on 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:22.280 that bag because million and I think he earned that 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.840 in the playoffs. I think You're so right. I was 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.200 looking today with him and Luka don Chech. Obviously that 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.000 trade was such a big deal and both have blossomed 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.120 in their respective teams. But when they were traded on 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.800 Draft night, everyone thought one of them would blossom, one 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.240 of them would maybe crash and burn. They both have 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.200 done amazing, but Trays had so much more team success, 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.880 and I think that's what has carried him to this number. Obviously, 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.360 Luca had more regular season success, and right now he's 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.080 just killing it overseas in the Olympics or Slovenia. It's 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.760 so impressive. Now he is going to get a couple 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.680 of bags and he gets back eight side right. Yeah. Absolutely. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.800 I mean he doesn't have to do shoulder exercises for 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.920 probably a year because he's carrying his entire country of 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.840 Sylvania right now. I mean he's just working out in 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.080 the Olympics. Yeah. I think that's a locker room problem. 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:17.200 I think they got Luca. Chris STAPs porzingis nicknamed the Unicorn. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.760 The Estonian Kevin Durant two point oh. Him and Luca 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.080 have chemistry problems because he wants the ball more. I 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.519 think once they rectify that, Luca will catch up. To 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.600 Trey Young in playoffs success the kids of Monster. All Right, 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.880 how do you think your Nicks are doing in free agency? 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.840 The Knicks are just They're bad. They'll always be bad. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.520 I mean, they've been bad for twenty years. I try 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.560 not to check their Facebook. I treat them like an 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.320 ex girlfriend. I don't look at their Facebook. I've blocked 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.080 them on all social media. It is too traumatizing to 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.240 follow the Knicks. I haven't been in Nick fan since 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.799 I jumped off. It's too painful. I bet they're really 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.679 upset too that you don't follow them on Facebook. Yeah, no, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.240 they're They're narciss cystic. They don't care about what I'm 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.680 doing at all. They've moved on. Well. Look, the whole 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.880 free agency this year kind of revolved around Kyle Lowry, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.400 the Raptor. He signed with the Miami Heat, and he 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.120 dictated everything. He's thirty five years old. He was an 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.800 unrestricted free agent. He had been with the Raptors for 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.520 nine season, six time All Star. And I think this 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.200 is a great move. I gotta say, I think it's 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.919 a great move for Miami. The competition in the East 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.880 is heating up. Brooklyn's obviously such a favorite Milwaukee is 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.919 a favorite. But he's now going to be with Jimmy 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.360 Butler coach Eric Spoelstra, who is class act the whole 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.600 way that organization is run. I just think that's a 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.520 really good move. What do you think about that? Were 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.320 you surprised? I think it's a solid move for the 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.800 right now. They resigned Butler. He got a couple of bags, 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.080 They got that pat Riley system down there, they got 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.920 the young kids shooter, They're in good shape. That's a 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.320 really good move. That's a really good move to get 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.400 Lowry thirty five around that. They got there. Jimmy Butler's 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.920 in his prime. They're good, They're good to go. South 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.000 Beach is ready. I'd love to hear you negotiate with 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.160 your agent on your show fees like how many bags? 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.680 And they're like, honest, it doesn't work, Like like give 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:12.080 us a number. You're honest? Ever for bag calculations, yeah, no, 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.000 I'm not good at math, but I could definitely count backs. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.080 You're also not good at remembering people's names. The young kid, 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.960 I know you mean Tyler Hero, but Tyler Hero, I 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:22.880 only know him by his rap name, which is I 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.080 assume what doesn't he rap? Two. I don't know, do 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.880 they all? I think? So he's got he's a rapper 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.359 to Tyler Hero. I followed him high school. Uh, the 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.160 young kid. I like to call him the young the 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.760 young kid. I've got a good Tyler Hero story. So 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.440 he's from Milwaukee, and he was in high school and 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.080 he was a big fan of my husband's and he 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.680 came up to shoot with him one day in Sheboygan 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.039 and he comes over to our place in Sheboygan and 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.920 he looks out. Keep in mind, kid grew up in Milwaukee. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.640 It's on Mike Michigan. We're on Mike Michigan an hour north. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.160 He looks out and he goes, Wow, that's a gorgeous view. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.599 What body of water is this? And I look at 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:02.720 my husband and I go, well, boy, I'm not throwing 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.400 the kid under the bus, but I'm saying now he 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.760 can look out at the Atlantic and do just mind. 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.279 But I thought that was a funny geography issue. Yeah, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:17.680 you know, he's probably very good at basketball, not so 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.240 good at school. He's one and done. So if you 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.040 can do it, do it. Go get them bags. Speaking 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.599 of Kyle Lowry, his former teammate Tomorrow De rosen is 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.599 still as of Tuesday unsigned. Last year he was with 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.119 the Spurs, He's a little bit more under the radar 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.800 right now, but I think that's a big value get 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.440 for whoever gets him, so that I'm kind of monitoring that. 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.119 And then Kawhi Leonard, he opted out of his player 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.119 option thirty six million dollars. Can you imagine just saying 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.640 I'm good, I want more. Wants to sign a new 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.240 deal with the Clippers. So we're monitoring that. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.000 I heard he wants to stay there. He's from l 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.559 A and that his millions like they just go straight 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:58.880 to the bank. I don't know if you know about him, 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.560 but he still drives like this same truck he drove 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.080 before he was drafted. Like he doesn't buy anything. I 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.720 don't know what what When he retires, that kid is 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.039 going to have a lot of money to invest and 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.680 he'll probably be a Bronnie billionaire one day. I bet 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.880 you're right. I bet you're right. And his deal could 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:20.080 potentially be over one hundred seventy six million over four years. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.279 That's the number he could get in this summer's negotiation, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.760 or he could do one year and done and sign 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.239 a bigger deal next summer because he's coming off that injury. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:33.520 But you're right, I mean, that's bad city, that's back city. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.440 And to me, he's the most valuable player in the 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.200 league because he's a he's a two way player. I 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.200 think he's the player that gives all the superstars nightmares. 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.279 He's the guy. You know your husband doesn't want to 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.080 see Kauai on him. I don't think I want to 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.760 see on him. Congrats to the biggest free agency signing 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:58.200 I believe in Toronto. Get ready to say, hey, when 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.840 you go to the supermarket, can I get a thank you? 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.240 We're actually so excited as we're recording this Tuesday, the 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.640 news just came out this morning and we're in Vegas. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.640 Sam's working out with the Raptors today and I know 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.920 he feels just so relieved and secure to you know, 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.240 have Penda paper sign that contract. He played overseas for 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.080 two years, so this has been a long time coming. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.320 But when we landed last night, because I came to 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.040 Vegas with them because I'm not one to pass up 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.600 a free trip, I said, do you think I can 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.480 tweet this out? You know you have a wife in 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.160 the media cover sports, to cover the n B A, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.360 it'd be really cool, would be like a big get 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.880 for me. Can I tweet out the news? And his 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.880 agent said, oh, let's hold off for a little bit. 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.680 Let's um, let's make sure like tomorrow, blah blah agent 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.880 stuff right, And then I wake up this morning and 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.600 Adrian Wilsnowski, who breaks every news and the n B A, 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.560 he beat me to it. I'm like, sitting there in 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.160 our hotel room, I'm like, oh, come, I tried, and 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.239 I told you last week. I mean, this stuff happens, 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.600 like I don't know how this stuff happened when he 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.640 was traded and I was boarding a flight all that. Like, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.600 it's just while I can't stay on top of it, 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.960 and I'm in the media, so I feel very frustrated. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.320 But oh my gosh, we are. We are so excited. Yeah, 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.920 news travels fast in the digital age. Those guys are 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.240 all over it. But congratulations to you. You won't have 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.240 to bring Google Translate to the supermarket anymore. You can 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.480 speak English, and you're close. You're right across the border. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.720 You know, you're what the border is gonna It could 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.080 be closed, though, depends on what happens COVID. You may 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.439 just end up having to become a Canadian citizen. Well, 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.880 I tell you what, the basketball gods are bound and 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.080 determined to not have Sam Decker play in the States. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.840 I don't know what going on. And you know, obviously 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.280 we're just thrilled his childhood dreams to play in the NBA. 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.080 He's back in the NBA. And it's really really hard. Historically, 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.040 if you look at guys who go to play in Europe, 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.600 who comes back, it's it's really hard. I keep saying, 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.200 it's it's this is the scratching claw period, Like it's 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.600 really hard to get back. You you only hear the 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.600 guys who do because you can point now you know, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.560 Pat Beverley or whoever it is, p J. Tucker. But 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.400 you don't hear all the guys who don't and ultimately 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.600 kind of retire early because they can't do it anymore. 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.679 They're they're sick of it, and it's such a grind 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.040 over there. So I could go on and on about 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.439 this topic. I just feel so incredibly proud of him 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.720 and relieved for him because he's now getting a second 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.120 shot at his childhood dream. And and just as a couple, 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.520 like we're thrilled I got to live with my husband again. 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.880 I will never take that for grant, right. Yeah, I'm 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.040 rooting for Sam. I'm gonna be rooting for him all 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:36.920 year strongly. Every point, every assist, every rebound. Let's go Sam, 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.920 Let's go. I'm a Raptors fan now, I'm right. Hey, 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.560 when they come in town to New York, that's when 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.880 we'll do our double date. Absolutely, absolutely, Yeah, I like it. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.040 You said you're watching a lot of the Olympics lately. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.600 Are you kind of busy with that? I've been cheering 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.520 on those girls and boys. Yeah. That race last night 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.000 was kind of crazy when that Norwegian kid broke a 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.240 world record and the American who was behind d of 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.200 broke a world work record. You broke a world record 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.160 getting silver. So it's like that race was like one 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.560 of the craziest Olympic moments in history, and that was 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.280 fun to watch. The US basketball team is finally getting 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:17.080 its groove back. On Monday night, that was a good one, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.720 good one. They let some candles, they got their groove back. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.880 K D scored a lot of points, so it's good 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:28.920 to see them take out I like the lift, yeah, Bifa, 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:34.199 but more Ricky Rubio went off. Yeah, yeah, he almost 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:38.240 had a forty piece. I love watching NBA players overseas 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.760 played for their home country, and it's cool to liked 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.960 against them a little bit, but you still are proud 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.120 because they make the league look good. And Olympic basketball 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.439 is very odd to watch, right. It just looks kind 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.680 of different. The paint is different. It's a triangular. I 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.960 don't know why they do that. I think sometimes they 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.720 just do that to differentiate. It's kind of like maybe 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.640 it's an anti American thing, you know, they just go, 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.920 all right, they do it that way. Let's just do 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.600 it this way to separate ourselves and make it real different. 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.760 Throw them off. Visually, it's team ball. They really The 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.319 advantage that the other teams have is that they all 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.160 know each other. They grew up together, they played together. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.560 The United States is just a bunch of guys with 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.600 a lot of bags, you know, who show up, say 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.319 what's up, you know, and they're all all stars, and 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.360 then they try to figure out a team game. So 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.440 that's scandergy other teams have is that their teams first. 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.920 I think. Also the headline this week, especially as gymnastics 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.960 is winding down, Simone Biles, how about this She withdrew 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:40.440 from four individual events. She was on every headline, all 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.040 the front story of every news show, like we couldn't 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.960 stop hearing about Simone Biles not competing. And then it 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.760 brings advocacy to mental health, which is amazing and what 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.079 these Olympic athletes especially go through. I think being an 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.680 Olympic athlete is a weird rare form because it's the 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.960 four of your thing. It's the rareness, it's um, the 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.760 massive attention, the weight of your country on your shoulders. 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.320 I cannot imagine. I'm so glad Michael Phelps kind of 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.400 started that conversation and now Smone Biles pick it up. 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.080 And she ended up competing on the beam in one bronze. 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.520 She wanted bronze. She gotta medal. Yeah, it really. First 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:22.160 of all, I didn't know what the twisties were. Yeah, 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.200 and it's uh, when you hear about what it is, 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.040 it makes a lot of sense that that's a scary thing. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.680 Like if your focus is off and you're twirling in 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.600 the air like that, I mean that is dangerous. So 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.400 that's great, that's great, and it's great that she competed. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.199 It's great. She gotta medal and yeah, I never thought about, 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.040 like if you're a fourteen or fifteen year old girl 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.880 or boy and like all the spotlights are on you, 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.040 that's a lot of pressure. That is a lot of pressure. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.320 I mean I played high school basketball, and if my 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.400 dad showed up to the game, I might have a 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.000 bad game. That made me nervous. I can only imagine 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.800 if a hundred million people from my country you're tuned 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.959 in and got the and I beat you know, China 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.160 and Russia. Well, I want to ask you more about 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.360 your athletic history because I have a feeling you've got 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.720 a couple of stories. So let's take a little break, 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.760 and when we come back, let's talk about where our 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:26.360 athletics went wrong. Janna is on this show, you have 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:31.000 mentioned a couple of times of your glory days playing basketball. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.640 I'm curious at what age did you stop? And was 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.160 always just basketball? It was always just basketball for me, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.840 which was tough because I'm six ft. You know that 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.520 relegates you to one position if you have hoop dreams. 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.920 I was so delusional at one point, I was thinking, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.440 you know what, my mother was born in Greece. I'll 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.280 go play professionally in Greece, Like thinking you know what, 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.240 like they don't know how to play basketball over there, 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.280 Like they're very good. I wouldn't have been able to 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.160 play there either. They're incredible. The Greek domestic league is 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.080 one of the best in the world. It's like NBA 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.480 Spain and Russia, Greece all you know, every year interchangeable. 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.480 But yeah, they don't how to play basketball there. Did 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:16.240 you ever ask your cohorts to call you the Greek freak? No, No, 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.400 I didn't. I didn't. Nobody would have either, Like nobody 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.720 would have nobody would have capitulated to what I wanted 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.000 them to call me. For basketball, I was a walk 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.680 and I tried to walk on at American University, which 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.240 is Division one load Division one, and I didn't make 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.200 the team. I got recruited by a couple of D 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.600 three schools, and but I got to practice with the 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:42.640 team throughout my college non career, so that was fun. 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.040 It was fun to be able to practice with the 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:45.840 guys in the summer and stuff like that. But you know, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.280 in high school, I was like a four. That's the 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.720 thing is like I was like a power forward in 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.240 high school at six ft and then you go to 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.240 the Division one level it's like the two guards six 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.840 for the three six six, you know, and then six not. 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.520 It's just like a different it's just another level. And 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.920 then starting point guards in the n B A my 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.320 athletic dreams. I was so bad and I love working 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.200 out now. I'm super competitive, Like you would think I'm tall, 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.120 Like everyone asked all the time, Oh, you must have 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.680 played too, and I'm like no. I once scored a 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.080 soccer goal on the wrong team, like on our own goal, 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.040 and then my coach very wisely put me back to 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.680 like defender. We were such a good team. His daughter 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.200 was like the star score. So I'd sit back and 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.760 just make a little daisy chain necklaces because the ball 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.320 never came up behalf of the field. So that was that. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.800 And then I transition. I played a little basketball. It 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.480 was horrible, and figure skating was kind of a sport 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:49.680 that I clung onto and competed like regionally and it 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:54.000 was really fun. I had a couple first place finishes. Um, 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:55.840 you stand on the podium, so I know how these 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.880 Olympians feel, you know, same exact feeling. But one time, 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.400 this girl I kept getting like second and third, second 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.480 and third. I couldn't crack. I couldn't get on top 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.640 of the podium and I finally did, and I was 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.920 so excited. And the girl who got second says to me, 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.600 you did really good. Keep mind, we're like nine years old. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.680 You did really good. You deserve first. And I'm smiling, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.320 I'm holding the flowers and I look at her and 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.720 I go, thank you, and you deserve second. And my 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.760 mom overheard it and she pulled me aside and she said, 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.440 why would you say that to that little girl? I said, Mom, 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.280 because I kept getting second, and I was so proud 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.240 of second, like I thought second was good. I was 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.160 complimenting her. But we still did this day laugh about that. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.280 They're like live on top of the podium, like cameras 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.920 flashing thank you, you deserve second. So um, my Olympic 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.800 dreams ended there. I was just more competitive and like 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:48.400 getting my picture taken. Maybe maybe that's part of the right. Wow, 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.280 you're a renaissance woman. Because I also saw you. You 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:57.720 you sang the national anthem yesterday that was this past week, 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.320 that was Sunday. Yeah, yeah, I was like I heard 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.600 it first. I'm scrolling. I was like, wait, is that 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:07.240 Alicia Keys? And I think that I was like, is 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.880 that Alicia Keys? Who is Yeah? I thought maybe Alicia 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.240 Keys was at a Wisconsin minor league baseball game league 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.919 baseball game checking out the bull d Arms, but and 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.719 then I was like, wow, that's Olivia. I mean you 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.760 can sing, girl, Thank you. I that's where I transitioned 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.280 from sports, and I was acquired geek and musical theater 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.000 geek and that became my sport. Right. I just I 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:34.120 loved musical theater. Still do love to sing, not athletic. 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.760 The issue will be is when I have near seven 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.359 foot children trying to guide them through the process. But 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.399 that's what Sam will be for, right. That'll be funny 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:48.120 if your kids actually, I want to be figure skaters instead, 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.480 and you're like trying to gear them towards basketball because 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.320 there's seven foot but they're like, Mom, I inherited your 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.120 love for figure skating, and then you just s these 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:59.240 giants who were finishing, or mom, I inherited your love 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.240 of show to a two step on stage. Yeah, there's 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.360 there's a couple of different options there. You know. It's 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:10.000 funny though, when non athletes like your self finial although 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.960 I think you you got college, looks like that's a 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:16.919 big deal. You played basketball, but watching like celebrities compete 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.960 somewhat in sports, Like, have you ever kind of watched 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.560 some of these failures? It's hilarious. My favorite will always be, 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:29.080 without a doubt, the fifty first pitch. Yeah, yeah, he 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.919 was like he was it was like he was throwing 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.480 to it. He saw a ghost and he was like, 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.720 I'm just throwing it over there. He threw it to it. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.080 He threw it to nobody. Yeah, that was really bad. 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.000 How about kind of same thing though, when George Bush 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.400 through like the perfect pitch after nine eleven. That talk 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:50.199 about like a rallying moment. That was actually crazy, Yeah, 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.159 because like he just went up there and zinged it 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.160 bang and he threw a perfect pick. Trump actually threw 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:59.240 a strike two. Remember that he threw. Yeah, he threw 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.679 a good like I was shocked by both. Yeah, I 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.800 didn't expect that. Yes, right now, you know, the Democrats, 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.399 in order to combat that, they need to start making 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:13.840 sure whatever candidates and local arm system teams, they gotta 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.439 make sure those candidates can throw so they can you know, 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.720 so they can also throw strikes because it's not looking 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.679 good for them on the first pitches. Right now, you 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.800 kill you think of this stuff, so cract you can 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.640 kill me. You know who was actually a very good 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.320 baseball player, but I think made a really smart career 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:35.000 move by going into acting is George Clooney. Oh George, 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.880 he got a trial run with the Reds. See, that's 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.159 not fair when I hear stuff like that, that's just 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:44.480 not fair. I mean he was gifted the face. Yeah, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:49.199 it's amazing actor. And then he's also athletic. That's just 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.280 there's got to be something off because the universe's balance. 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.880 I bet you he has like a six toe. There's 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.880 something that's got to be wrong because that's just too much. 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.840 That's too much for one person. Like, can't you like 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.760 he should just gift one of those talents to me. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.520 I bet he has like really bad breath or something. 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.480 It's got to be something, has to be something. I mean, 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.760 that's too much. It's like I had John Stamos on here. 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.960 It's like the guys that, yeah, you can act, he's 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:21.160 good looking and he's a musician. It's too much. It's yeah, 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.920 I agree. What about the transition when you go from athletes, 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.520 like when you have success like the Rock and then 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:31.840 go into acting and just make talk about bags makes 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.560 so much money at both. But I've I've listened to 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.320 him on a couple of podcasts. His story is incredible. 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.960 The rock he you know, playing high school football, college football, 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.920 never really having that much success, transitioning to wrestling, weight 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.160 of the world on his shoulders, kind of rocky home life. 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:50.320 I mean, that's a guy you can get behind because 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.800 you're like, okay, he earned and free opportunity he got. 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:57.720 He's he fascinates me. Yeah, and pun intended his dad Rocky, 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.320 So it was his dad was a wrestler, so it 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:05.200 was like destined for him to be and that's all charisma. 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.400 It's like that when you have that level of charisma 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.960 and you come from a wrestling family, that's your destiny. 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.080 He was, he was almost destined. I mean, what would 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.040 he do with that eyebrow rais with a helmet on. 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.320
