Speaker 3: Our favorite holiday?
Speaker 2: Our favorite holiday? Christmas was good. We had I think
Speaker 2: four days off this year. We got to go home
Speaker 2: after the Iowa game, which was on the twenty year.
Speaker 2: I'm already forgetting twentieth twenty first, I think it was twentieth.
Speaker 2: She got to go home that night, so I go
Speaker 2: home with my family and then we had to be
Speaker 2: back Christmas morning, which you know is an ideal. But
Speaker 2: it was a good amount of time off, just not
Speaker 2: really the day you want to be at home. But
Speaker 2: it was good. It was It was a great family time.
Speaker 2: It always is, no for sure.
Speaker 3: I mean you ended the break or you began the
Speaker 3: break with a wind, and then you got to spend
Speaker 3: time with the family, so that's a win. Another wind
Speaker 3: Christmas for me, I stayed in New York. I got
Speaker 3: to hang out with some family and some friends.
Speaker 4: It was just really low key.
Speaker 3: We watched basketball and just hung and it snowed. Oh
Speaker 3: my gosh. So I don't think it was maybe it
Speaker 3: was exactly Christmas Day like or maybe the next day,
Speaker 3: but the way it snowed, so we had like a
Speaker 3: white Christmas. I did all these the cheesy things that
Speaker 3: people do, like see the tree. Because I had some
Speaker 3: friends come into town too, so I enjoyed it New York.
Speaker 4: You can never go wrong with spending Christmas there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christmas in New York is beautiful.
Speaker 3: So you were telling me how you were Christmas shopping,
Speaker 3: Tell me what's the best gift that you received.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me start with saying this. So our Christmas traditions,
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about yours. After it's very
Speaker 2: low key Christmas Eve. We order pizza, we open a
Speaker 2: present and it's always matching Christmas pajamas, and we watch
Speaker 2: movies all night, play games, watch movies, go to bed,
Speaker 2: wake up, and then we have a very chill Christmas.
Speaker 2: So like I'm Sana. I get to hand we go
Speaker 2: through presents one by one. I get to hand them out,
Speaker 2: and then we do we do some presents, and then
Speaker 2: we eat breakfast and then we finish presents and then
Speaker 2: like you're inmpjs all day, so it's very chill, and
Speaker 2: then we have a big dinner. So because I had
Speaker 2: to leave my flight was at like ten am Christmas morning,
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, should we do Christmas early? And I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: Sanna won't be here, Like no one told Santa to
Speaker 2: come early. So we woke up at five am and
Speaker 2: we did Christmas. So my family is the best because
Speaker 2: they are not We do not wake up early. We
Speaker 2: usually we sleep in until at least nine, so they
Speaker 2: all woke up early for me so we could have
Speaker 2: our normal Christmas tradition. It was fun this year because
Speaker 2: enej Bettencourt, who I played with at Yukon to transferred
Speaker 2: to Gonzaga, came over for Christmas again, so that was special.
Speaker 2: And then Jose's girlfriend Tulula who I called Chilula, also
Speaker 2: spent Christmas with us, so it's really nice to have them,
Speaker 2: you know, just the added family members who not exactly
Speaker 2: blood but they are family, so to have them there
Speaker 2: was amazing. Even I said all that, not to say
Speaker 2: my favorite present. Okay, low key, I.
Speaker 4: Was about to follow up. I'm like, and so what's that?
Speaker 2: So the best thing that I received? I got so
Speaker 2: many good things. I got some new books, I got
Speaker 2: some new bookmarks. Oh, I got a I got a
Speaker 2: like handheld like suitcase scale thing, like you know, like
Speaker 2: you hook the strap on the yes, because I am
Speaker 2: the world's worst packer and I always overpack, and my
Speaker 2: Mom's like, just hold it and stand on the scale.
Speaker 2: But like when I overpack, it's so heavy. So now
Speaker 2: I can just you know always. I really wanted that.
Speaker 2: So that I got this necklace, you know, just got
Speaker 2: me this super cute bracelet. So I was definitely spoiled.
Speaker 4: I love that. Okay, So I'm starting with Christmas traditions.
Speaker 1: That's Christmas traditions.
Speaker 3: So the last three years of Christmas have been like
Speaker 3: spent somewhere different. But usually I'll fly out to like
Speaker 3: Arizona because that's where like my uncle is, my two uncles, aunts,
Speaker 3: a bunch of family will fly out there and we'll
Speaker 3: go to my uncle's house and like everyone's cooking and
Speaker 3: just spending time Christmas Eve. You know, the drinks are flowing.
Speaker 3: We really get in like we play board games. It's
Speaker 3: just it's it's calm. Then on Christmas we'll open gifts
Speaker 3: and then we'll eat like, oh my goodness, the food immaculates.
Speaker 4: The baked macaroni and cheese, the yams, the.
Speaker 2: So would you say that you're a Christmas dinner is
Speaker 2: similar to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: So it depends on what side of the family I
Speaker 3: was spending it with. So, like I'm Jamaican, so I
Speaker 3: do have Jamaican family, and if I'm with them, dinner
Speaker 3: looks different. There's some fish, there's some other Jamaican dishes.
Speaker 3: But if I'm with my you know, just Black Americans
Speaker 3: oute of the family, then it looks like Thanksgiving for sure,
Speaker 3: like Thanksgiving Part two. But yeah, so usually this is
Speaker 3: the side that I fly out to, like to Arizona,
Speaker 3: that black American is given Thanksgiving part two. And my
Speaker 3: family they are musically inclined, so it's a lot of singing,
Speaker 3: drum playing, like a bunch of artists all come together
Speaker 3: and I'm in the background just making sure I sing
Speaker 3: low enough that.
Speaker 4: No one hears what's really going on.
Speaker 1: The hype.
Speaker 4: Okay, answer, yes, you know, but it's actually really nice.
Speaker 3: My family can sing sing, so it's just like, I'm like,
Speaker 3: why did it skip me? But it's that right because
Speaker 3: I can beat all of them in basketball and.
Speaker 4: They're bad, period is what matters.
Speaker 3: I think the best gifts I received, you know what
Speaker 3: I did receive like quite a few gifts that I
Speaker 3: really liked.
Speaker 4: Oh man, that is you know what. My favorite gift
Speaker 4: actually came from my friend Sean toal.
Speaker 3: She got me a devotional and in the devotional there's
Speaker 3: a couple of like I'm like going through it now,
Speaker 3: like reading through it, and she left like notes and
Speaker 3: she yeah, So I think that is definitely my favorite
Speaker 3: gi It's super intentional, super thoughtful. So that was my
Speaker 3: favorite gift. But I did, you know, shout out to
Speaker 3: the rest of my friends and family.
Speaker 4: I love y'all. They did give me some cool gifts.
Speaker 3: I got to watch, I got a bag, I got
Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff. I was like, Okay, I'm lit,
Speaker 3: but I love that gift.
Speaker 1: That was my favorite. Oh what was your favorite gift
Speaker 1: that you gave? Okay, my favorite gift that.
Speaker 4: I gave was my mother.
Speaker 3: Now listen, you know miss girl, oh bougie girl, I
Speaker 3: get it from her. But my favorite gift was she
Speaker 3: had been talking about the Hoop York City line.
Speaker 4: So Hoop York City by Alex Taylor.
Speaker 3: They have a clothing line, and so my mom every
Speaker 3: time I wear something from them, my mom was like,
Speaker 3: I want that, I want that, I want that. So
Speaker 3: they had to end of the year sale. I bought
Speaker 3: up and also received a lot for free shadow Alex
Speaker 3: and I just put it in a big box and
Speaker 3: gave it to her and she was ecstatic, is static, ecstatic.
Speaker 3: So that was definitely probably my favorite gift I was
Speaker 3: able to give.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 4: How about you?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I was proud of all my gifts this year. It
Speaker 2: was like a chill. I couldn't top the cruise. But
Speaker 2: I really loved like the giving an experience because we
Speaker 2: don't need anything else, we'll have everything we need. So
Speaker 2: I made another little like another little like fake certificate,
Speaker 2: but this time it said like a trip to come
Speaker 2: visit me wherever I get drafted. So I told them,
Speaker 2: like my parents, obviously they're going to come visit me,
Speaker 2: Like I'll pay for everyone's trips, like they have to
Speaker 2: come alone so it's like a weekend, which is my mom,
Speaker 2: which is my dad, my fathers will come together, but
Speaker 2: get one to Tallula as well. So I'm sure like
Speaker 2: the three of them will come together and we can
Speaker 2: spend like just a sibling weekend and it'll.
Speaker 1: Just be fun.
Speaker 4: That's so thoughtful. Easy, that's dope. Thanks, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you asked me earlier about like what my
Speaker 3: Christmas meal looks like?
Speaker 4: What does a fun family Christmas meal look like?
Speaker 2: The fud family Christmas meal is very similar to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: It's it's almost the exact same, like mashed potatoes, mac
Speaker 2: and cheese.
Speaker 1: What else we have?
Speaker 2: We didn't do greens this year. We usually do greens,
Speaker 2: so it's a little sad on that. But everything was rushed. No, no,
Speaker 2: I'm blinking. Just instead of turkey, they do a rib roast.
Speaker 2: Oh oh I'm delicious. So yeah, very good.
Speaker 4: So let's fast forward. What'd you do for New York's Eve?
Speaker 2: We played Providence and then we hung out. It was
Speaker 2: Gandhy's birthday, so we got to celebrate her a little.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, we had practiced the next day, so
Speaker 2: this show we hung out. I mean, I was who
Speaker 2: was I with. I was with a few people like
Speaker 2: Carolin from hanging out and we were so locked in. Oh,
Speaker 2: we were playing a game called Werewolf. I haven't played
Speaker 2: that before. It's like Mafia anyways, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: It's someone to Mafia. We were locked in playing that,
Speaker 2: talking having a good time that we forgot to watch
Speaker 2: the ball drop. I was actually really upset about that.
Speaker 4: You guys have skipped the ball drop.
Speaker 2: We stayed up Joe midnight and didn't we missed the
Speaker 2: ball drop.
Speaker 4: I was that is hilarious.
Speaker 3: I mean, at least you guys are having a good
Speaker 3: time at exactly you were locked in exactly.
Speaker 1: How was your New Year's?
Speaker 3: New Year's I spent honestly, it was crazy. So Christmas,
Speaker 3: I was in New York, friends, family, casual like the.
Speaker 4: Thirty year or maybe the.
Speaker 3: Thirty first flew into Memphis, spent New Year's in Memphis.
Speaker 3: I feel like the ball dropped. And then I flew
Speaker 3: to Miami. So I was in like a little hotel
Speaker 3: party with some family and friends for the ball drop.
Speaker 3: But then I was in Miami for Unrivaled like the
Speaker 3: next day.
Speaker 1: Really, yes, have you ever seen the ball drop in person?
Speaker 3: No, And I'm actually really glad you asked me that,
Speaker 3: because real New Yorkers we do not.
Speaker 4: Go see the ball drop.
Speaker 3: It's freezing, is pat people are acting crazy, They're loud,
Speaker 3: and then I imagine standing there, you know, people get
Speaker 3: there like the night before, we wearing diapers. Oh absolutely,
Speaker 3: because you because if you leave your spot in line,
Speaker 3: that's it.
Speaker 4: You're not getting it back.
Speaker 1: That is so feul. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So not me, honey. I will watch it from the
Speaker 3: TV three to one Happy New Year and texts all
Speaker 3: seventy six other people on my phone and that's it.
Speaker 1: I support that.
Speaker 4: Do you have a New Year's superstitions?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: What is that? So?
Speaker 3: You know some people do the same thing all the time,
Speaker 3: or let me tell you this.
Speaker 4: Don't tell me, don't judge.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna judge. Tell me.
Speaker 3: You know that there are things they're sayings like, you know,
Speaker 3: some people were eating grapes under the table to you know,
Speaker 3: have a future love life or things like that.
Speaker 4: So I may or may not have.
Speaker 3: Partaken in some of those traditions in the past, but
Speaker 3: this year I did not. I just enjoyed the ball dropping.
Speaker 3: But so you've never done anything like that?
Speaker 4: No, it's all right girl.
Speaker 3: It's honestly, I'm not really superstitious, but it was fun.
Speaker 4: I had a good time.

Speaker 4: Do you have any New Year's resolutions? Did you make any?
Speaker 2: I do have some. Someone asked me this recently. I
Speaker 2: didn't write any down. When they asked me this, I
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I do. My New Year's resolutions are
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six. The words like any form of embarrassment, embarrassing, insecure,
Speaker 2: like those words out of my vocabulary, like who cares,
Speaker 2: nothing's embarrassing like it happened. I'm not gonna be embarrassed
Speaker 2: about it. I'm not going insecure about it whatever. I'm
Speaker 2: really good at.
Speaker 1: Procrastinating and avoiding things. No longer doing that, starting starting
Speaker 1: now when it comes to text things. So if you
Speaker 1: text me now I won't.
Speaker 2: I have been avoiding my messages, but those were here.
Speaker 2: Out of my life for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4: I love it here, what a great year?
Speaker 1: Are? Those are my big ones? What about you?
Speaker 3: I want to start writing things down more, the things
Speaker 3: that I believe for my life, and I started with
Speaker 3: writing down some of the things I want to do.
Speaker 4: So even writing things down is one of my resolutions.
Speaker 3: I really love getting to be in media, hosting this
Speaker 3: podcast with you, getting to host events. So I think
Speaker 3: I'm going to think I'm going to very really better
Speaker 3: myself this year in regards to that.
Speaker 4: So those were the big things.
Speaker 3: Actually, the number one biggest thing is to deepen my
Speaker 3: relationship with Christ and then everything else I mentioned, But yeah,
Speaker 3: those are the big It's like the big three.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's also mine. I'm trying to read the whole
Speaker 1: Bible this year.
Speaker 3: Oof, girl, you could do it.
Speaker 4: It was hard for me. It was hard for me.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I mean, I've gotten through the Bible now,
Speaker 3: but I remember trying to connect, like trying to do
Speaker 3: like the Bible plans like on the on the apps,
Speaker 3: and it will give you like a streak like, oh
Speaker 3: I read it three days in a row, four days
Speaker 3: in a row.
Speaker 4: And at the blank it was like twenty one days later,
Speaker 4: I was like.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I'm definitely locked into with reading the
Speaker 3: whole Bible this year.
Speaker 4: So we can keep each other accountable.
Speaker 2: Yes, and make accountability partners.
Speaker 4: Okay, so let's talk about your season. You are now
Speaker 4: in the middle of it.
Speaker 3: You guys are actually yeah, the beginning of conference play
Speaker 3: in the middle.
Speaker 4: You guys are undefeated. How's it been.
Speaker 2: It's been good. It's been a lot of fun so far. Yeah,
Speaker 2: especially this last week. We've had some really good practices.
Speaker 2: They've been hard, but you know the hard ones. When
Speaker 2: you're in it, it's like, Okay, this kind of sucks.
Speaker 2: It's kind of fun, but then afterwards you're like, okay,
Speaker 2: that was great.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this.
Speaker 2: Week's been a lot of fun. Games have been fun,
Speaker 2: and I don't know, it's just basketball is amazing when
Speaker 2: like you really enjoy who you're playing with and like
Speaker 2: everyone's confident, everyone like it's just moving together. It's incredible.
Speaker 4: You guys feel like you're hitting your stride right now. Now.
Speaker 4: You guys are flowing.
Speaker 2: I do feel like we're flowing, but at the same time,
Speaker 2: I feel like I felt that way all season, and yeah,
Speaker 2: we still continue. Like each game, I feel like we're
Speaker 2: a little bit better. I say it so many times,
Speaker 2: but coach seriously never fails to humble us in practice.
Speaker 2: There's always something that we need to get better out,
Speaker 2: that we need to work on individually as a team,
Speaker 2: so for sure.
Speaker 3: So circling back to some of the goals you set
Speaker 3: for yourself and the team earlier in the season, where
Speaker 3: do you guys think you are at in terms of
Speaker 3: those goals?
Speaker 1: What goals did I set?
Speaker 4: I remind you, don't worry.
Speaker 3: You said you want to be where you were going
Speaker 3: to be more confident, decisive, I'm more vocal leader.
Speaker 4: So those were some of them that I remember.
Speaker 2: I think I'm doing pretty well with those goals. I
Speaker 2: think I still have some progress to make on some
Speaker 2: of them as well. But season's not over, so I
Speaker 2: still have time to get where I want to be.
Speaker 2: I am going to add to my New York resolution
Speaker 2: to get out of my layup slump, and I'm going
Speaker 2: to stop saying I'm going to lay up slump. Because
Speaker 2: I can make layups.
Speaker 1: I got it.
Speaker 2: I can make shots from two feet I can't make
Speaker 2: shots possible, sure, full stop from wherever on the court.
Speaker 1: Facts.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I just remember, like from some of our
Speaker 3: previous pods, specifically with Coach g you know, where he
Speaker 3: was just expressing he would love to see you take
Speaker 3: some risk.
Speaker 4: Have you taken any risks this season?
Speaker 2: I'd say yeah, And I think a lot of times
Speaker 2: he was talking about like on defense, or I'd be
Speaker 2: in the right spot, but I wouldn't, you know, stick
Speaker 2: my hand in the passing lane, or like take that
Speaker 2: extra step and risk being out of position and missing
Speaker 2: the steal. For this year, I feel like I've definitely
Speaker 2: been a lot more risk taking socially on defense, taking
Speaker 2: not more shots, but you know, like not hesitating as
Speaker 2: much to should that pull up three?
Speaker 1: Because who cares? Like it's going to go in?
Speaker 3: I believe it and it's going to go in every time, Honey,
Speaker 3: definitely go miss to andever. An accomplishment that we talked
Speaker 3: about early and I don't remember who we had on
Speaker 3: the pod, but it was about rebounding.
Speaker 4: I'm so proud of you. I remember you had eight rebounds.
Speaker 4: I was like, I love that.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that was a specific goal of yours,
Speaker 3: but I definitely was like, I know that's something that
Speaker 3: we talked about, So shout out to you.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, Fin it gets a little scary down there.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. You. Guys are big.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're scared of because you're strong.
Speaker 4: Play the tape. She'd be knocking girls out, running right through.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: What have you learned about your teammates by being in
Speaker 3: close games? Like early on? The first one I immediately
Speaker 3: think of is like Michigan.
Speaker 2: We haven't had too many close games, but I think
Speaker 2: Joseph just feel like the confidence that we have in
Speaker 2: each other and the trust has grown as the season
Speaker 2: has gone on. So I think that in that close game,
Speaker 2: we did trust each other, but as season's gone on,
Speaker 2: I feel like if we're another one of these situations,
Speaker 2: like we can trust that, like whoever is in that
Speaker 2: position is going to make the right play, whether it's
Speaker 2: set a hard screen, make a hard cut, make a
Speaker 2: good pass, make a lay, make a get a stop,
Speaker 2: trap the ball when it's needed, make the right rotation.
Speaker 2: I feel like that is the biggest thing that we've
Speaker 2: been able to develop, is like that trust in each
Speaker 2: other and that chemistry and knowing that, Okay, if I'm
Speaker 2: going to be here, like I know that blancer Sarah
Speaker 2: ash or kk is going to rotate and be in
Speaker 2: my help, Like I can trust that, which I think
Speaker 2: is so important on the court.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, i'd be locked in baby's guilt time conference. Sorry, okay,
Speaker 3: my last u goron question. Why do you always hold
Speaker 3: someone's finger when you're in the huddle.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I've done that since high school. It just
Speaker 1: makes me feel safe.
Speaker 2: I have I really don't know. I don't have a
Speaker 2: reason just to annoy people. Probably it's how it started.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: I feel like after every single game, I always see
Speaker 3: things on social about like you and the huddle? Are
Speaker 3: you and the bench? You guys are really fun to watch,
Speaker 3: and I know being present was one of the things
Speaker 3: that you talked about. And I can tell you're fully
Speaker 3: locked in the whole time. So shout out to you
Speaker 3: and get taken her off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have a great time.
Speaker 3: All right, girl, let's get into our fudding games.
Speaker 4: We're gonna start with the what the fun of the week,
Speaker 4: But it's a special with the fun of the week.

Speaker 3: listeners to submit. They're what the fud of the year,
Speaker 3: so of twenty twenty five, and we definitely have a
Speaker 3: lot of fun ones you want to get into it.
Speaker 1: Yes, I also what the fud for this week? Oh,
Speaker 1: go ahead, start us off.
Speaker 2: Okay, but it's on topic because it's also from a fan.
Speaker 2: I took a screenshot. I got a dm oh it
Speaker 2: made me laugh. Okay, this girl said, easy. I went
Speaker 2: to church today and I saw someone wearing your throwback jersey.
Speaker 2: At first I thought it was a Dallas Cowboys jersey,
Speaker 2: but to my surprise, it said foot on the back.
