13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: in the universe last time she was here, and I

00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,600

00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,520

42
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: reclaiming the ww Women's Tag Team Championship.

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: Would Live, how does it feel to be.

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: That record holder, like you said, of the Women's Championship

45
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 3: Tag Team Championships And what does this accomplishment mean to you?

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 6: H It feels so good.

47
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 5: It feels really good because it just affirms everything that

48
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 5: you know, Live and myself have been saying this entire

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 5: time that we are the greatest tech women's Tag team Champions.

50
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 6: Of all time.

51
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 5: So just to know that we, you know, got them

52
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 5: back and we made history by becoming the first every

53
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 5: three time tag team champions and then having that little

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: upset at WrestleMania, but getting them right back the night

55
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 5: after and becoming the history making record breaking four time

56
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: women's tag team champions, greatest of all time. It just

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 5: it feels really good, like I'm on cloud nine. Me

58
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 5: and Live are just history making and we're setting records

59
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 5: and we don't plan on stopping. We're on a roll

60
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 5: right now, and this truck is just going to keep

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 5: going and going and going.

62
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 6: Nothing's gonna stop us now.

63
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: And we'll go ahead and say that you losing the

64
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: titles at WrestleMania, will put an asterisk on that because

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: it wasn't fair to y'all because you were expecting Bailey

66
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: and Lyra and all of a sudden, there's that wrench

67
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: thrown in and Becky Lynch shows up. But then the

68
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: next night, Becky Lynch turns on Lyra. So we're gonna

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: put an asterisk next to that loss for you guys

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: at Mania.

71
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 5: There was a bunch of nonsense that was going on

72
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: that obviously didn't really involve us and our greatness. It

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 5: still has had no effects on us and our greatness,

74
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 5: So we're okay to just push that little incident aside

75
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 5: and move on to bigger.

76
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 6: And better things.

77
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: Well, I have to say I was at the Raw

78
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: after Mania in Las Vegas and I saw you guys

79
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: reclaim those belts. Is very, very exciting, So again, congrats

80
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: on that. So, you know, as a performer, you're kind

81
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: of well known for your size and strength, but I

82
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: mean really, especially in the last year, fans have been

83
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: able to see that the versatility, which is you balance

84
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: and power moves with you know, tying in more of

85
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: the emotional storytelling. How do you balance being the powerhouse

86
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: of the team while still finding ways to connect with

87
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: the audience from a storyline standpoint.

88
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I just tried to think to my

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 5: younger self and how I would have felt seeing myself

90
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 5: out there in the ring and seeing this big, strong

91
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 5: like kind of you know, I spoke about that. I

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 5: speak about Beth Phoenix a lot because she had such

93
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 5: a big impact on my style of wrestling, and just

94
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 5: as a strong woman in general, So like looking at

95
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: her as a little girl, I love to see how

96
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 5: she was able to balance the beauty with the brawn

97
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 5: and still have her sensuality on the outside kind of

98
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 5: like you said, in like these different character moments, but

99
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: still being the strong powerhouse while she was in the ring.

100
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 5: And so that's how I kind of see it. When

101
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: I'm in the ring, I know that I'm Raquel, I'm

102
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 5: the powerhouse, and I'm going out there to obviously get

103
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 5: stuff done, right, That's that's the move right there is

104
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 5: I know my role in my tag team, But outside

105
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 5: of that as well, I want the audience to know

106
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 5: that I'm a real person and that we can't connect

107
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 5: and that they can find things in me that are

108
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 5: in common with themselves and relatable. And even if they can't,

109
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 5: that makes it even better because that means that I'm

110
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 5: just even more unique of a person that they would

111
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 5: want to gravitate towards more on television as well. So

112
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 5: I just really tried to emulate being myself my same

113
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 5: goof yourself all the time, while still remembering that I

114
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 5: am big and strong and powerful.

115
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 6: At the same time.

116
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 5: So and honestly, it's just something that I feel like

117
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 5: has come with the time of being in the ring.

118
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 5: I've been with WWE for about nine years now, and

119
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 5: so those two have kind of had that amount of

120
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 5: time to melt together and create Raquel Rodriguez, and I

121
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 5: think they're doing pretty good.

122
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I wasn't able to hop on the last call,

123
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: but I saw you on an NXT tour. This was

124
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: before COVID. This was in twenty nineteen, I believe, and

125
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: this was in It was in South Haven, Mississippi. It

126
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: was right outside of Memphis, and I think this was

127
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: still like blue jeans, kind of like a most cowboy

128
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: kind of rockcail. So it's been just very very awesome

129
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: to kind of see you evolve involving, kind of grow

130
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: into this character.

131
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: Speaking of back to her too, you know, like she

132
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 5: was like all power and right strength, and you know

133
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 5: I at that time too. She had the cowbell and

134
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: like you said, the jeans and the shorts, and I

135
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: was really trying to find that inner beast at that time,

136
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 5: because of course I came from collegiate sports and I

137
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 5: came from group sports and stuff like that. And yes,

138
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 5: you have your beast, but you're also a teammate. So

139
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 5: you're working with a lot of people, whereas in wrestling

140
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 5: you're just there alone, you know what I mean, And

141
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: so you don't have people telling you to like g up.

142
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 5: You gotta find that within yourself. And so that was

143
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 5: kind of like my era of finding that inner Beecet

144
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 5: right and learning to use her a little bit more.

145
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome, absolutely for sure, and of course a

146
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 3: lot of people are excited about it.

147
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: Ww making its return this Monday night for Monday.

148
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,840

152
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: to kind of talk about this because this is something

153
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: really cool, and you have been very outspoken and very

154
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: talking about how important this is for you and your

155
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: Mexican American heritage and how important that is to you

156
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: and how you want to represent that in WWE. How

157
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: have your roots influenced your ring style and your mindset

158
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: and the way you carry yourself as being a role

159
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: model to young Latina fans.

160
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they influenced me a lot.

161
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 5: It was a big decision for me when I was

162
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 5: coming into the business that, you know. I wanted to

163
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 5: try and keep my legal last name or a last

164
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 5: name of Hispanic heritage, because I want people to know

165
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 5: that that's where I come from and that that's who

166
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 5: I am. Yes, I was not born in Mexico. I

167
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 5: was born here in the States, in South Texas. But

168
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 5: I'm still from an area that was very much, you know,

169
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 5: kind of like secluded from the rest of Texas.

170
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 6: We spoke Spanish.

171
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 5: A lot of my students, my co fellow students in

172
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: high school would cross the border every day to come

173
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: to school, so like I did grow up in that

174
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 5: culture with that same you know, ideology and just mental.

175
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 6: What's the word I can say, influence, you know what

176
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 6: I mean? So like the word king guana, I'm gonna

177
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 6: say it on the radio.

178
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: I think it's okay, But higuana means badass, you know

179
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 5: what I mean, And that's how we use it.

180
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 6: That's how I use it here. I think it's a

181
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 6: beautiful word. People have always told me to beachinguea my

182
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 6: entire life.

183
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 5: I find it in affirmation. I feel like it fires

184
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: me up, so I still use it. I tell myself

185
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 5: to always be Changuana. I post it on my Instagram

186
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 5: still and I love using that for people as a

187
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 5: word of empowerment, because women, especially Latinas, we should use

188
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 5: that as empowerment and we can be.

189
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 6: Beautiful and we can be strong.

190
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 5: And I just want all of those Latinas to know

191
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: I'm from the same areas and I come from the

192
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 5: same background as them. But I want them to know

193
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: that I didn't stay in my box, and they don't

194
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 5: have to stay in their box either. They can be

195
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 5: ching guanas, they can go after whatever they want, they

196
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 5: can go after their dreams and they can accomplish them.

197
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 5: And so I just want to remind them that they're

198
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: not contained to what the what their area is pretty

199
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 5: much their little box.

200
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 6: That we're always the clear right.

201
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 3: So can we can we get w W two make

202
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: a Chinona's shirts?

203
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: Can we put that out there?

204
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: I mean, we are in the Netflix area where.

205
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 5: You know it's I said, I'm gonna say it on

206
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 5: the radio because I know it's okay, I've played on radios,

207
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 5: but I know with like networks and stuff like that,

208
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 5: it's still considered a bad word.

209
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 3: Well, I mean Netflix, we saw Pat McAfee cuss this

210
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: past Monday, So I mean it can happen.

211
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: There you go, and if you can make money, I

212
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: think I think there will be for.

213
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: You know, one thing, a lot of people very excited

214
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: about with the news at WrestleMania with WWE now partnering

215
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: up with Triple A.

216
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 4: When you think of uh.

217
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: You know, the Lucha Door and Mexican wrestling, you think

218
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: of Triple A.

219
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: What does that mean? When you see w W partnering

220
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 4: up with Triple A and and just bringing more of

221
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 4: that that Latin wrestling to more fans worldwide, it gets

222
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 4: me so excited.

223
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 5: Honestly, it made my heart just like explode with happiness

224
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 5: for everyone that was up there representing the announcement of

225
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 5: merging with Triple A. I seeing Triple A there represented

226
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: by their their founder in the audience at WrestleMania.

227
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 6: I grew up watching Triple A two again.

228
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 5: I'm from the border of Texas, so like, not only

229
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 5: did I have WWE, but I also had Triple A.

230
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: And Saturday morning wrestling.

231
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 5: Lucha Libre, especially the Lucha Libra that was always live

232
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: in my backyard with all the lucellotas. I think it's

233
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 5: a beautiful, beautiful style of wrestling and and just the

234
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 5: intense passion that they bring and the crazy moves and

235
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 5: just the creativity from the masks to the moves.

236
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 6: It's just so cool, and so I'm just so excited.

237
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 6: I really am excited.

238
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: I hope I get to be a part of any

239
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 5: little bit that happens with Triple A. I hope I

240
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: get to go over there and perform with some of

241
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: their female lucellodas.

242
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 6: They are amazing as well. So I'm really looking forward

243
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 6: to this. It's going to be huge.

244
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: That's that's great answer. That's an awesome answer. So you

245
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: live or now for to Champs. What does this or

246
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: I guess, how does this rain feel different from the

247
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: previous ones? Is it sweeter perhaps or something? And now

248
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: kind of adjacent to that, do you still have your

249
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: singles goals that you're you have in the back pocket

250
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: or you kind of like just full steam ahead with

251
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: the tag team right now.

252
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 5: I would definitely both still have our singles goals, you know,

253
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 5: we both definitely want to conquer everything and anything that

254
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 5: we can. Well, we're pretty much doing the best work

255
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 5: that we have done together overall, and I think that's

256
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 5: what makes this rain feel a little different. It's a

257
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 5: little bit sweeter, because I can feel that we are

258
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: just you know, intermingling like a really good team and

259
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 5: just on fire overall when it comes to promos, when

260
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: it comes to end ring work, when it comes to teamwork,

261
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 5: live and I an firing on all cylinders. And so

262
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 5: I think this is probably the sweetest rain we've had.

263
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 5: I don't see this rain ending anytime soon, but we're

264
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 5: definitely keeping our eye on the singles, you know. I mean,

265
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 5: Eo Skuy, she can't, she can't just not have any opponents,

266
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: you know what, Ria Ripley's had her chance, Live Morgan

267
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 5: have another little taste, and then when Becky and Lyra

268
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: finished doing what they're doing, I'm gonna come back for

269
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 5: that intercontinental title, because again, God didn't bless me with

270
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: these two big, beautiful shoulders so.

271
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 6: That I could only hold one title. It just makes

272
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 6: no sense, right I should have another one.

273
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: That is that is very true.

274
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 3: I think I think an icy title is in uh

275
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: Raquel's future very very soon. I'm gonna go ahead and

276
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: put it on record that it's gonna happen by the

277
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: end of the year.

278
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 5: Maybe I'll go pay a little visit to SmackDown two

279
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 5: into the new US title holders a Lenavie.

280
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 6: I love to crush that little just racking them up.

281
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna rack them up, you know what I'm saying, Hey,

282
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean not no shame there getting all the titles

283
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: and then and cashing all those paychecks that you get

284
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: with those titles.

285
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 6: Shirt. Rack them up, Raquel, there's another t shirt.

286
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 4: I hope WW is paying attention as they're just doing this.

287
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 3: So as as a champ, I know your time is precious.

288
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: So we're gonna wrap things up here in just a second.

289
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: But we have two final questions that we want to

290
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: ask you. If we were to scroll through Raquel's music

291
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: playlist right now, if we just started going through and

292
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: we say, huh, didn't think for Kel would listen to this?

293
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: What's one of those surprise songs on your playlist that

294
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 3: were like, I didn't think she'd liked this.

295
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 6: Well, let me ask what kind of music do you

296
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 6: guys think I listened to?

297
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I think you listen to everything that's I

298
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: mean everything.

299
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: I would say you leaned towards country for some reason.

300
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 3: I would probably say classical is not on there, like Beethoven.

301
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, definitely not. I'm not listening to classicals, definitely not.

302
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 5: I do listen to everything. I do love country, I

303
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: love Tehinel music. I listened to. I listened to hip hop.

304
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 6: What's the song?

305
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 4: You know what?

306
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 5: I just download this song and it's only because it

307
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 5: takes me back. So it is a little bit of

308
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 5: a millennial song. But it's called rush.

309
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

310
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 6: It's just oh.

311
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: Not bewitched, is it?

312
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: But I love being that was a girl. It was

313
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: like Jennifer something right.

314
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 6: Yes, Jennifer. Uh oh man, it's gonna kill me if

315
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 6: I don't think of it. I got it on my

316
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,080
