00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: Y'all hear that I ran a mile?

75
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: No, guys in all jokes. I've not ran since my

76
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: senior year of high school. I played soccer in sports

77
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: my whole life, but then I started doing like more

78
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: less intense workouts, so I haven't ran a mile in

79
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: a good bit. Now I'll hot girl walk a lot,

80
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: but just running and talking is a whole different thing.

81
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: So proud of myself, feel very good.

82
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: Well, you're a senior at the University of Alabama. Do

83
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 4: you work out on campus or you do hot girl

84
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: walk around campus? Like?

85
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: What is your form of activity?

86
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: I do both. I do pilates.

87
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: I love pilates, and I think it's because I'm somebody

88
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: I've never been able to. Like in high school, I

89
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: took weights with all the boys. I was the in

90
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: the girl in the weights class. My parents maybe do

91
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: it for sports and like to get stronger. And I

92
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: like the girly feel of pilates. I like being in

93
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: there with the big music and just the kind instructor.

94
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: That's a lot of fun to me. But I love

95
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: to walk.

96
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean there was a time, like especially last semester,

97
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: where I was getting fifteen k steps a day, like

98
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: just making sure I hit fifteen.

99
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: I was obsessing it, and it's a lot of fun.

100
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: How big is the Alabama campus.

101
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: The campus itself is not that large. It's very close together.

102
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: And that's my favorite part about it because you could go,

103
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: like I can go on a night out and then

104
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: walk back to my house and be completely safe. And

105
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: I also love walking to class. So I like how

106
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: close our campus is together. I like, I love how

107
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: I can walk five minutes to the stadium, walk ten

108
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: minutes to class.

109
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: That's really nice.

110
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is nice. It's also nice.

111
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: Yeah when your classes aren't like twenty minutes apart. Yeah,

112
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 4: mix printing when you are saying you're walking fifteen thousand steps,

113
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 4: like where are you walking? Are you just doing loops

114
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: around the campus.

115
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: So I would walk around the campus, neighborhoods, I would

116
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: do the river walk, I would go walk on a treadmill.

117
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: I got a walking pad to talk shop, and I've

118
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: been That's what I've been doing in the wintertime because

119
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm somebody that if it is under I will say

120
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: sixty degrees, I'm not walking outside.

121
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: I love the.

122
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Warmth, and yeah, weather, it's a big factor for me.

123
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: I liked getting a walking patent. Being inside. That helped

124
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: me stay more active, and I found that the more

125
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: active I was, because I was always an active kid

126
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: growing up, always at practice, always like doing something, especially

127
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: like since I've lived on the farm, my mom would

128
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: literally walk us out of the house so she could

129
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: clean it, and always running around. But whenever I went

130
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: to college, there's a big switch for me. I noticed

131
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: that I wasn't as active my freshman year and it

132
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: was harder for me to go to the gym, and

133
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: I didn't know where that was coming from.

134
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 2: I think it was like a thing where.

135
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: I just started social media and a lot of students

136
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: knew who I was, and like I was getting like

137
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: some traction online.

138
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: It was harder for.

139
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: Me because I was very like kind of insecure at

140
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: this moment to go get in the gym and to

141
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: be more active out on campus. I kind of wanted

142
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: to hide inside. So I quit being active, and I

143
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: noticed the decline of my mental health, and so then

144
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: I picked it back up and felt so.

145
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: Much better after like moving and staying active.

146
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like movement is such a big player

147
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: too for so many people when it comes to feeling

148
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 4: good mentally, Like it's to me, it's less about what's

149
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: happening physically to my body, And obviously that's like a

150
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 4: pro of working out, right you like, you know, you

151
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: work out, you look good, you feel good. But really

152
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: it's like the feel good aspect and it is so

153
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: important to move and you know, get in that routine.

154
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: But I can't even imagine what it was like for you,

155
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: because I remember, you know, being a freshman in college

156
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 4: and going to the gym and you know, feeling kind

157
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: of like a little bit of a wallflower and almost

158
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 4: liking it a little bit because nobody really knows you.

159
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: You can kind of just like blend in, but you

160
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 3: stood out.

161
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like it was so it was so funny

162
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: because I remember like being a freshman and like making

163
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: Jim tiktoks and like trying to and like, mind you,

164
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: I like had lifted ways before because it did take

165
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: that ways class. And like, my dad is giant, he's buffed,

166
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and he would always make me like lift growing up

167
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: and work out with him because he really wanted me

168
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: to learn how to like get in the routine of

169
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: being active. And my father has works out every single

170
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: day and probably has not missed a day since he was.

171
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: Before I was born.

172
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: He loves it and so he really that into me

173
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: growing up, and sports kind of took care of that

174
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: for me. But whenever I was a freshman, it was

175
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: harder for me because people take videos of me in

176
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: the gym and like posting one yekyik, and I was like,

177
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: it was just embarrassing me so bad, because whenever you're

178
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: in the gym, you don't want to have to worry

179
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: about what you look like.

180
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: Yes, and so it like did mess with me a

181
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: little bit.

182
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: And that was just kind of everywhere, Like I thought

183
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: I had to look perfect on campus at all times

184
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: because I was worried about like what people were taking

185
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: of me, like pictures, they were taking things that they

186
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: were gonna say, And so I really had to drop

187
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: that attitude because it was really crippling.

188
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: It gave me crippling.

189
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: Anxiety my freshman and sophomore year, and I really had

190
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: to learn how to kind of get out of that.

191
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I can't even imagine.

192
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 4: I mean, and there's so many factors that come into

193
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: play here, and we're going to unpack all of them.

194
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: But it's like, you know, you were new to college, which.

195
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: Is an anxiety inducing experience on its own. It's a

196
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: completely new experience you're making friends for the first time,

197
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 4: You're meeting all these new people. It's like information overload,

198
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: and also trying to figure out school and balance sority

199
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: life and social life.

200
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, then on top of.

201
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: That, you were growing in eyeballs, not just on campus

202
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: but also online. And you also came from a really

203
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 4: tiny town in Ohio. So like all of these factors

204
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 4: just would I can imagine how anxiety inducing it was

205
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: being on campus with all those eyeballs.

206
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: How quickly did the fame hit?

207
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: Very quickly?

208
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean Alabama Rush as itself is a whole thing now.

209
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: I will say my like, the first weeks on campus

210
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: were the most exciting. Everything was new, Everything was so shiny,

211
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like whenever there's like new things.

212
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: I was so excited to be out. I was so

213
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: excited to be away from my parents. Love my parents,

214
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: love your mom and dad. Like just the I felt

215
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: free and it was so much fun in the first

216
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. And then I realized it felt like

217
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't go out because at the time I was

218
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: been so hioed to essay and I was a pageant girl.

219
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: And if anybody knows anything about that you have to.

220
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: Be extremely clean through.

221
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: College, like especially like if I would have been caught

222
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: on camera taking a drink like number one that was

223
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: a lead, and like everything would have been down the

224
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: drain for me.

225
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: And so I was really I didn't get.

226
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: Like the first college experience because I wouldn't like whenever

227
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: I would go out, I just like stood there and

228
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: like didn't like participate in all the college things.

229
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: At first.

230
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 1: It was like freshman year, everybody was getting invited to

231
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: date parties and all the freshmen were excited going out,

232
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: and I couldn't really do that until after I had

233
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: given up my title. And I also didn't want to

234
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: be clipped online like be a big thing that I

235
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: was underage drinking.

236
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: Wait, what do you mean given up your title?

237
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: So whenever you are like Miss Ohio ten USA. I

238
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: went and competed for Miss teen USA that October, and

239
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: I had to be very careful like of all things

240
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: social media and like the college life of partying, because

241
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: pageants it's like a very thing, like you don't post drinking.

242
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: You don't like I could have lost my title, like

243
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed.

244
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: To drink, and so you're so this happened you were

245
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: Miss Tenusa. You got that title when you were a

246
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: freshman in college.

247
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: So I won Miss Ohiotensa my senior year of high school,

248
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: and I didn't give it up until a year after.

249
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: So I came back from college and gave up my crown.

250
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: But it's giving up the crown is like handing it

251
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: off to the girls.

252
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: Someone else would got it.

253
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: I need to be like updated on pageant culture because

254
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: I like don't know anything about it.

255
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: It's very like traditional strict, Like I don't know much

256
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: about it now because I've kind of ever since I

257
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: gave away my title. I really slipped away. I was

258
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: like that was fun. Then I'm at the position now

259
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: where it wouldn't really benefit me and like I'm just

260
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: not into it as much.

261
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: I grew up doing them.

262
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: I kind of got burnt out, Like I to be

263
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: completely honest, once I won Miss o Hiotenia say, I

264
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: was burnt out. Like even competing for TENUSA was really

265
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: hard for me and my mom, Like it had always

266
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: been like our goal growing up because my mom was

267
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: in pageants as well and like competed a lot, and

268
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: so I was like raised, but it was like for me,

269
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be Miss Ohio Tenus. I didn't

270
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: want to win the big one. I wanted to go

271
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: and like party and have fun with my friends. And

272
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: that's not the greatest headspace to have, and I was

273
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: extremely grateful. I was just there was a lot going

274
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: on in my life, and so I couldn't really like

275
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: buckle down and like practice for it.

276
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: I was just kind of like woo.

277
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: So for people that don't know a lot about pageants,

278
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 4: like myself, can you give us the breakdown of how

279
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 4: old are you when you start pageants? What is it

280
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: like actually doing a pageant, getting ready for a pageant,

281
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: and why is it so exhausting so.

282
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: You can start pageants. I know people that started pageants

283
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: in like three months. Their moms carry them and they're

284
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: not even like they don't even know that they are

285
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: the babies. But I started Mine's actually funny. I was

286
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: very much a tomboy growing up, and I love to

287
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: follow my older brother around and I loved all of

288
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: his friends, had big crushes on all of his friends,

289
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: and my dad would make him include us, like include

290
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: me and my sister whenever he was outside like playing

291
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So I became very tomboyish to

292
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: the point where I was standing on the sophomall field

293
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: one day at a game and I spit on the field,

294
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: like literally hawked alugi on the field. My mother had

295
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: a heart attack. I think that was it for her.

296
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: She watched it and also like at the school dances

297
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: and I couldn't step in clap, so she put me

298
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: a dance class to where I can learn how to

299
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: step in clap. That was very important for her. I

300
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: have no rhythm, and now that I haven't been a

301
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: dance it's declined a lot. But it kind of like

302
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: you've got to walk a certain way, You've got to

303
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: talk a certain way. You have to have the perfect wardrobe,

304
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: perfect hair, perfect makeup. You have to have a great interview,

305
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: you have to have community volunteer experience.

306
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: You have to be like.

307
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: Basically like the perfect version of yourself, but also be

308
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: involved in so many act activities and be very like

309
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: multifaceted to make yourself like more interesting.

310
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 2: So it's a lot.

311
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: It's a very like props to those girls that are

312
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: still doing it. It's a lot of work. And I

313
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: feel like that life prepared me for this life.

314
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 2: That's why for me, I can travel.

315
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: All day on a plane, hop off, get ready on

316
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: the plane, go to an interview, do a podcast, than

Speaker 1: leave the next day, and being in a different city.

318
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: It has completely like.

319
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: Prepared me for this aspect of my life because where

320
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: I've got experience in that, and it's made public speaking

321
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: so much easier. It's made being on stage so much

322
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: easier for me because I grew up doing that. So

323
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: I am very grateful for the experience. But I will

324
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: say I didn't notice that a point in my life.

325
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: I was very robotic, like I thought because like with pageants,

326
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: only there's six judges and like their opinions, they can

327
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: all have different opinions. But I realized it turned me

328
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: into more of like a robot and like doing exactly.

329
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 2: What I thought was perfect.

330
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: And I realized that my sophomore year of college because

331
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: if you guys remember, like my first couple of videos,

332
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: whenever I did go viral, I was very I'm not

333
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: the same person I am now. I was very timid online.

334
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: I only put out content that I thought was one

335
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: hundred percent perfect. I didn't let people see like my

336
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: true personality. And yes, it was great that I got

337
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: that start, but I really just wanted. I'm grateful that

338
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: I was able to burst that bubble and realize that

339
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: good there are great days, but then.

340
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 2: Sometimes there are bad days. So then once I started.

341
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: Being more dynamic and not just being the perfect version

342
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: that I thought people would see me as perfect and

343
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: drop that, it made my life ten times easier. And

344
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm extremely grateful for like the headspace I'm in now.

345
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I also think that period of your life,

346
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 4: like being a freshman, being at that age, coming right

347
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 4: out of that mindset of the pageant world that you're describing, like,

348
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: it makes so much sense to me why you presented

349
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: yourself the way that you did.

350
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: On social media.

351
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 4: And then of course with age and time and being

352
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: in a college experience and meeting all these people, going

353
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: to parties, going out with a friend, you do slowly evolve,

354
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: and I think, what's really cool about you? And you know,

355
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: I've been following you since you were a freshman in

356
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 4: that era, and you've evolved a lot on social media.

357
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's been fun every stuff of the way,

358
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: because social media for me isn't like work. It's not like,

359
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: oh I have to do this, It's actually fun for me.

360
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I love especially from where the population of my hometown

361
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: is like fifteen one hundred. It was so small, and

362
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: I I grew up with the same kids from kindergarten,

363
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: the same graduated with them. I knew I could tell

364
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: you everybody in my classes, like grandma and grandpa, what

365
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: they did, what sport they were in, who their best

366
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: friend was, Like everybody knows everybody where I'm from. So

367
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: I was so used to just it being like their

368
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: traditional like movie small town in rural Ohio. And it's

369
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: been so nice for me to find my voice into also,

370
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: like it's nice to know that people are listening to

371
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: my voice, you know, I'm saying, like, it's just it's

372
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: so special to me because whenever I share opinions, whether

373
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: they agree or disagree, it's still nice to be able

374
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: to get my opinion out there to the public.

375
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: And that's been really special to me.

376
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: Definitely, You're definitely empowering like a young generation of girls,

377
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 4: you know, and I think a lot of people look

378
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 4: up to you and see you as their role model,

379
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: right And You've been dubbed by so many outlets like

380
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: the Queen of Rush Talk, which is probably so funny

381
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 4: for you coming from Ohio. Not having had a mom

382
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: that was in sororities.

383
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: Right, it's honestly my family. I'm gonna be honest, y'all.

384
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: We laugh about it every Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving for me,

385
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: I love to like sit around the table. I'm such

386
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: the person to be like, let's reflect on the what's happened, Like,

387
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: let's just talk about it. And so my brother all

388
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: the time and my dad were putting my life to

389
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: humble me. And so every time I go home they

390
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: make sure too. But it's just so funny to me

391
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: because my mother was not in a sorority. My dad

392
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: played college football, and I knew nothing about it. Now

393
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm like this big spokesperson for Greek life, which is

394
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: like whenever I was rushing, I thought it was so

395
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: fun and I love to teach people about it because

396
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: it was so new to me. And it was basically

397
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: like a FaceTime call, Like I remember, the reason why

398
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: I started it is because I was in a different

399
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: time zone than Ohio time, so my grandma didn't wake

400
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: up in time to get on our FaceTime call. So

401
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: I was facetiming my mom and I was like, is

402
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: this outfit okay?

403
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: Do I look good?

404
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: And my mom was like, you're gonna do great, not

405
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: just good, Kylin.

406
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: You got this go in there. You've interviewed your whole life.

407
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: So then she was like, you should make up little TikTok,

408
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: but you're teaching people about it, like this is so

409
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: funny and it's so new and like no one's ever

410
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: seen it, and it can keep our community up on

411
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: what you're doing.

412
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: So I did.

413
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: And then after that, I literally like shut my phone off.

414
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: I remember, and then getting on the bus and going

415
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: into our convocation day where they teach you all about it.

416
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: I get home at six o'clock. I'm getting Chipotle in

417
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: the line. I finally opened my phone and my phone

418
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: is absolutely buzzing off the wall.

419
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: I wake up to I think it.

420
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: Was like two hundred k in a day. I had

421
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: like eight million views, and I.

422
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 2: Was like, what the heck?

423
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: And then people were just flooding. It was crazy. It

424
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: was absolutely crazy, scary but crazy. But I'm very extremely grateful.

425
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were kind of at the turning point of

426
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 4: rush Talk becoming like a social media phenomenon.

427
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just I did not expect it. I

428
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: was just trying to keep people that I'm close to updated.

429
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: So it's like really.

430
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: Fun that it turned out this way and gave me

431
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: the life it is. And I love how my mom's

432
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: on social media. I hated it at first to be

433
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: completely transparent, but and I love that my sister's on

434
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: social media because now we get to do it altogether

435
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: and it mixes so much more special to us. Like

436
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: the tart trip with my mom, she cried the whole time.

437
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 2: She was like, I can't believe it. It was so fun.

438
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: What was the transition like for you coming from a

439
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: small town in Ohio and entering into the University of

440
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: Alabama and Alabama sorority rush life.

441
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: Oh, it was crazy.

442
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people forget about like

443
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: how the Alabama culture is, and it really like whenever

444
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: I became more immersed in it, it was so much

445
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: fun to be a part of. And but coming from Ohio,

446
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: it was really hard for me to like understand and

447
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: I will say, what is the culture like, it's just

448
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: it's very it's really hard to describe. The girls are

449
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: very like traditional. Okay, it was hard for me because

450
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: I grew up in a very strict household, Like my

451
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: parents were just strict, Like I wasn't even allowed to

452
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: have the TV in my bedroom, like I was constantly

453
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: training for something.

454
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: Neither was I.

455
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what has made this life for me on

456
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: the outside so much easier, being so busy because I

457
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: was busy growing up, and my parents made be sure

458
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: I was busy. And it was just like so different,

459
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: like Southern culture. The girls like they dress more older,

460
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: like the big fluffy sleeves, they're not very revealing.

461
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: It's just like so southern.

462
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: We're like Ohio, like walking down Columbus going shopping, it's

463
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: very edgy and like there's that, and then there was

464
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: always like the yes ma'am, no ma'am. There was We're

465
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: like in Ohio. I didn't grow up. I just said like, yes,

466
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like that thing I just

467
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: want to say. It's like Southern culture is very strict,

468
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: but as soon as like you're.

469
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: Going out, everybody gets crazy. That was what I didn't expect.

470
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I remember the first time going out in Alabama and

471
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that these girls are prim, proper Southern bell princesses,

472
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: Debia's haunts, and then we go out and all of

473
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're rowdy animals and I remember being like, whoa, that's.

474
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: What it is.

475
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: That's like the perfect way to describe it. It's hard

476
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: for me to describe, but.

477
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

478
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 4: I feel like people will really appreciate hearing that description

479
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 4: because there's so many people that do see these girls

480
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 4: and can't imagine them getting rowdy at a bar. Oh

481
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 4: So I like knowing that we can do both, guys,

482
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 4: So we can do both.

483
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: What was the hardest thing for you that you had

484
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: to learn?

485
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: I think that, And you know, I love my Southern bales.

486
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: I grew up going there, like I I mean, I

487
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: went to the universe of Alabama.

488
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: So of course I love it. I'm grateful. It's very

489
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 2: gossipy and very chitchy. We're like New York and Ohio.

490
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: They like Northern culture I've noticed is like mean, straight

491
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: to your face, where Southern cultures it's very like discreet,

492
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: like can bless your heart, that whole thing. And I

493
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: realized that early, and it took a while for me

494
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: to get a hangu but I kind of get it now.

495
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 3: You know, after four years in it.

496
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 4: What would you say you had to learn about female

497
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: friendships in a Southern sorority girl environment.

498
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm still learning to be completely transparent. I'm somebody that

499
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: I've always been so busy and like always working and

500
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: grinding for the next step of life. And so for me,

501
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: I would I'm now in the era like where I

502
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: don't really participate as much like going out and doing

503
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: like all the college stuff, because I'm trying to set

504
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: myself up for my New York life. And I will say, like,

505
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: it's really hard to find a good friend. And something

506
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: that I've noticed is, especially in college, it was really

507
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: hard for me to find a group of girlfriends that

508
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: supported all my dreams and didn't just want to ride

509
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: off my dreams. You know what I'm saying. I think

510
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: it's hard to describe because I don't want to like

511
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: shoot shots at anybody, but that's something that me and

512
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: my sister of really had to learn and go through.

513
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: Is like sometimes college girls are not genuine. Sometimes they're

514
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: just in it for what they can get. And it's

515
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: been really hard for me to learn that.

516
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: And I think it's a good lesson to learn.

517
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: And I think the cool thing about college is it

518
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 4: teaches us so much about life. We learn these lessons

519
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 4: over and over again in life, and I think it's

520
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: people in general might not always have the best intentions, right,

521
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 4: And it's like, yeah, you have to find your people

522
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 4: and the people that do have the best intentions for

523
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 4: you and want the best for you. And you know,

524
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 4: we were talking about this as we were walking before,

525
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: but in New York, you know, you meet a ton

526
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: of people always, right, you go to a bar, you

527
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: meet a bunch of girls, you go out, you know,

528
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 4: you meet guys and girls, and there's a rare few

529
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 4: of them that are like those soul connections, like those

530
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 4: those close close friends that you get to make and

531
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: those are really special adult relationships. But it is rare,

532
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 4: you know, to have like a genuine connection with somebody,

533
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: and you know, have a friend that's like so supportive, right,

534
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 4: like a best friend, like a sister.

535
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: Yes, And that's why I'm so grateful for my sister.

536
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: And I also learned that you to be honest. This

537
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: is my mom taught me this growing up. You are,

538
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: You become who you hang around. And if somebody is

539
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: constantly like I love to speak positivetivity and positive affirmations.

540
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: I've learned that by saying genuinely have a great day,

541
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: not just a good day, it has given me like

542
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: a thing in my head where today is going to

543
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: be great. I'm gonna kill today like today is my day.

544
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: And I realize that that was helping me in my

545
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: everyday life. I think that whenever people ask you how

546
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: you're doing, that you should always be like, I'm doing great.

547
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: I think that speaking positively makes you act positively and

548
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: think positively about yourself. Where I've realized I don't get

549
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: along with people that are like, well, that was awful,

550
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: or like people that are constantly putting negative out there

551
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: because it makes you negative. I've learned that you have

552
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: to speak positive in order to be successful, like and

553
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: I know that that's like so crazy because our world

554
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: loves to like. I think that it's important to be

555
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: very dynamic and share both sides. But I just learned

556
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: that I was around people who were constantly complaining about this,

557
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: or talking about this or this didn't go in their favor,

558
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: or gossiping about this, and it really like turned me

559
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: in that for a little bit, and I had to

560
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: pull myself out of it because it's making me negative

561
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be negative.

562
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 4: No, And you're such a naturally positive person, and I

563
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 4: feel like we all have that, right, Like, I'm a

564
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: very positive person too, and I found myself at time

565
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 4: slipping into a negative mindset. And it's because of the

566
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 4: exact reasons that you're talking about. So yeah, it is

567
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: really important, you know, what we talk about with other

568
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 4: people and then also the thoughts that we share with ourselves,

569
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 4: because positive affirmations and positive self talk really are important

570
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 4: things to do, and they do make you feel better,

571
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 4: and they do lift your spirits, and they do change

572
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 4: who you are as a person. Would you say there's

573
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 4: strategy involved when you're rushing as a freshman one hundred percent.

574
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: I want to say that my experience was easy because

575
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: I did grow up in young pageants, so I knew

576
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: how to walk in and talk about myself. I knew

577
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: how to pitch myself to these girls. I think that

578
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: it's all about just you. I think that a lot

579
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: of people get caught up on trying to be something

580
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: that whenever they walk into the house. These college girls,

581
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: like these freshmen, are trying to be something that they

582
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: think the sorority girls want to hear about. Honestly, they

583
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: love different. I am not your cookie cutter southern girl

584
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: that went to a high school in Alabama and knows everybody.

585
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: I went to Alabama recruitment knowing not one person. I

586
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: knew nobody. I didn't have any I want to go

587
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: to this house. I knew nothing about the houses I knew,

588
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: and I think that that was why I got the

589
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: best experience, because going into the houses, I didn't know like,

590
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: oh this is top house, or oh so and so's there,

591
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: I should go there.

592
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: I got it completely.

593
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: I didn't have any friends, factoring in like I didn't

594
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: have to go refront wind from high school. It made

595
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: my experience so original and really genuine and special because

596
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: I found a house that I like. I found a

597
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: big that I fell in love with, love her. We're

598
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: best friends to this day, talk every single day, and

599
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: she's graduated with a big girl job. And it was

600
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: just so genuine my experience, and I think that that

601
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: was so special, and it was all because I walked

602
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: in there being myself.

603
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: Now, it's funny because.

604
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: If I would have been from Alabama, I wouldn't have

605
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: known that you're not supposed to post on social media,

606
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: that sororities will drop you if you post on social media.

607
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: That it's like a no, no, big no no had

608
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: no idea. I had no idea that you needed to

609
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: dress a certain way, like look like a southern bell.

610
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: Had no idea. I walked in there in a Zara

611
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: like blazer suit that's not southern at all. Had no idea,

612
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: I had no wreck letters. I had went in their

613
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: clueless and it worked out absolutely perfect. And I think

614
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: that is why it worked out, was because it was

615
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: a genuine experience, and I think that people online resonated

616
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: with that. I think that sorority girls liked how I

617
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: was different and how I didn't have like that in coming. Oh,

618
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: I've got to go here because Katie May is going here,

619
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, very special for me.

620
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Honestly, there's something really nice sometimes about going into

621
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: a setting and just being a little bit naive to it, oh,

622
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 4: and creating your own experience.

623
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

624
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: It was so funny because whenever I was a sophomore

625
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: and I was on the opposite side, like trying to

626
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: recruit girls, I had no idea. I remember the first

627
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: time walking in and like being a freshman and seeing

628
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: the door song and just thinking that I didn't know

629
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: all the rehearsal. It was crazy to me being a sophomore.

630
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: Whenever I found out that we started rehearsing for Rush

631
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: in January. I had no idea, and I was like, wait,

632
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: we've got rest practice. They're like yeah, and then like

633
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: I remember doing recruitment, having a cute card with all

634
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: the girls' names on it, things that they liked, the

635
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: way that they pair them.

636
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: I had no idea, and I thought it was crazy.

637
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 2: It was like doing Rush again on the opposite side,

638
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: because I was.

639
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: Like, wait, it must be kind of cool to see

640
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: it from the opposite side.

641
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: And I remember looking at my bag and being like, wait,

642
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: so everything you told me, they just paired me because

643
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: we had similar things, and she.

644
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: Was like, I was like, it worked out for the best.

645
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: But I genuinely thought that I was just having the

646
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: best interview of my life in Rush. I didn't know

647
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: that she was like picked to ask these questions.

648
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 4: To me, Okay, but they picked you because you guys

649
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 4: have commonality. So yeah, I like knowing that at least

650
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: it's not like you're getting paired with a random person

651
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 4: you have nothing in common with. The Yeah, we're gonna

652
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: pair with this girl because they have X, Y, and

653
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 4: Z in common and we think they'll like each other.

654
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: But I just thought it was funny how I thought

655
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: our I thought that she was just my yin to

656
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: my yang.

657
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: Well she is. She was.

658
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: She genuinely is now, Like that's why it's funny. But

659
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: like that first week, I was like I met my

660
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: girl best friend forever in there, but I didn't know that.

661
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 2: She was like a sign for it to be Okay.

662
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 4: Wait, so when you say that social medium posting wasn't

663
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 4: like a thing that you were supposed to do going

664
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: into it and it ended up working out in.

665
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 3: Your favor, right, Yeah, But where they're girls on.

666
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 4: Campus that were also rushing or maybe that we're at

667
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 4: some of the sorority houses already that were like mean

668
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: to you because of it, Like, was there any bullying

669
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: that happened because of your social media presence?

670
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay.

671
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: I remember getting on the bus the third day and

672
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: everybody was like, oh my goshlahlah and a couple of

673
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: girls like were like, you need to stop posting on

674
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: social media. You're not gonna get the house you want,

675
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: and like it's just very much a thing where I

676
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: will admit my freshman and sophomore year of college influencing

677
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: wasn't like what it was now, Like now that I'm

678
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: about to graduate, I'm finally at the point where like I'm.

679
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: Respected across camps. I would say, like.

680
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: A lot of people like are more fans, But in

681
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: the beginning, a lot of people, like on students would

682
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: make fun of me for posting, and they thought I

683
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: was like cringey. Well, if you embrace the cringe, you

684
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: see what happens. That's that's all I have to say

685
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: to that.

686
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 4: And now it makes more sense too, because you go

687
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 4: back to like what we were talking about earlier, with

688
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 4: like not wanting to go to the gym. It's like, well, yeah,

689
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 4: if you're getting looked down upon on campus for doing

690
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: what you're you're happy doing and getting a lot of

691
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 4: positive reinforcement doing it with online, I would feel unomfortable

692
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 4: to going to the campus gym and having people take

693
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 4: videos of me and talk about me on yek yak.

694
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yak was a nasty platform back in the day.

695
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: It was still nasty. Yeah, I don't even get on it.

696
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: Don't they need taken down? That shouldn't even be an app.

697
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: But it was just crazy because it went from like

698
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: I just think it's changed so much, like the college

699
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: like whole thing about influencing, Like it was not cool

700
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: my freshman year.

701
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: It was actually like very.

702
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: Frowned upon, like at all, and then it really became

703
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know like what made people switch. I

704
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: think that a lot of girls started embracing it more

705
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: and like getting more involved and wanting to be influencers.

706
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: It's funny because I did have a couple of friends

707
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: like in the beginning like be like I couldn't post that,

708
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: Like I would be so embarrassed. I couldn't do what

709
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: you do, Like I don't know how you put yourself

710
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: out there. I could never do that, like you know,

711
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: like the batcand and stuff like that. And now they're

712
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: like trying to do it. So I just think it's fun,

713
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm glad that people were embracing it and trying

714
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: to put themselves more out there now because it makes

715
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: it fun for the whole community of social media.

716
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: What was your first game day experience?

717
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: Like, Oh, my goodness, y'all, this is hilarious.

718
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: Because I had no idea what to expect.

719
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: So I remember the week leading up to it, I

720
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: was with a couple of my Zeta sisters and I

721
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: was like, what do y'all wear into the game, Like

722
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: first Salibati game Day, what are y'all wear in? I

723
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: was expecting from being from Ohio. I went to a

724
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: lot of Ohio State games growing up. I was expecting

725
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: like jeans and shot and like we're like leggings and

726
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: like a jersey.

727
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: That's what I thought it would be.

728
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: These girls pull up like a full on Zimmerman in

729
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: a Lexus like set. They're like, no, this is what

730
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm wearing. And I remember thinking, wait, you look like

731
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: you're going to Easter Sunday. Like everything was so dressy.

732
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: So I called my mom. I was like, Mom, I

733
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: don't have an outfit for game day. I'm gonna look

734
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: like an idiot. And I, of course I've got to

735
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: do on social media.

736
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: So I was like, what am I gonna do? So

737
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: she was like all right.

738
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: My mom came down, drove from Ohio, helped me go

739
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: into the Tuscaloosa shops and figuret an outfit for game day.

740
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: So I got my little abu fam a game day

741
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: and since I was a freshman, I had a game

742
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: day day. Now, all the freshmen boys that are in

743
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: fraternities ask a sorority girl or any girl to be

744
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: their game day date and they're all wearing suits like

745
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: khaki pants, suit, jacket, tie, and being a freshman, you

746
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: have to walk. You get your game day date comes

747
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: to your dorm. I was in pres one and that

748
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: was the boy and Girl dorm because I didn't decide

749
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: to go to Alabama until late July, so I couldn't get.

750
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: Into the Augrill dorm.

751
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: And I was actually really upset about that because I

752
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: wanted that experience. But anyway, the guy picked me up

753
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: from my dorm. We walked to his frat house at

754
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: the time was KA and we're just like in the

755
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: KA like concrete area, lawn porch, whatever you want to

756
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 1: call it. And you pregame there, you like stand around,

757
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: you eat food. Oh, these fraternities are mega mansions and

758
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: they cater every single game day, and so we had

759
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: this huge spread. We eat and then we end up

760
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: walking from KA to the game. Now, the worst part

761
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: about being a freshman is you're an Upper Bowl I

762
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: believe it's Sophomore Downs Lower Bowl, so you have to

763
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: walk up the spiral staircase all the way up to

764
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: the top of Brian Denny and I remember getting into

765
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: that stadium and it being e fork. I had never

766
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: been to an Alabama game, and oh, that's another thing

767
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: to include. Whenever I came to my Bamba bound at

768
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: the University of Alabama in I believe it was August,

769
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: second was.

770
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: My Bama band.

771
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: I'd never been to the university before freshman orientation. That's

772
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: my first time ever being at the university. I decided

773
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: to go to Alabama without actually seeing it.

774
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 4: Why did you decide on Alabama? And what were the

775
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 4: other schools that you were considering?

776
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so I didn't really I like applied to a

777
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: bunch of different schools. I got into some great schools,

778
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: but I wanted Alabama from the get go. I wanted

779
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: to be far away from home. I wanted to find myself.

780
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: And I had a scholarship through pageantry, so that was like, really,

781
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: no other school was really on the radar for me

782
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: at that time.

783
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 4: So because you were miss Ohio teen, is that why

784
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 4: you got a scholarship?

785
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: I had done like scholarship pageants my whole life, so

786
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: I had a pretty good rack in the bank. I

787
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: had been in scholarship pageants all the way up until

788
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: high school. So it was really just like a no brainer.

789
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: And usually with pageant Girls Alabama with those scholarship, and

790
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: I was in like the miss Ohio America system for

791
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: a while and I got a scholarship, so it was

792
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: perfect for me. And I just wanted to be away

793
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: from home. I wanted to I was somebody. I love

794
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: my mother, I do. She was very involved in my life,

795
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: like to a point where I my mom like would

796
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: fix my hair every big event I went to. She

797
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: would do my makeup. Like it was to the point

798
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: where I don't want to say I was crippled, but

799
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: in like the grand scale of things, I couldn't do

800
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: a lot of things on my own. I had like

801
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: anxiety like if she wasn't around me, and like that

802
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: would be so surprising because I would be on stage

803
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: like doing stuff.

804
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't that.

805
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: It was like I would always have to call her

806
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: and make sure is this outfit cute? Do I look great?

807
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: And I would always ask for her opinion on every

808
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: single thing. And I wanted my dad, Like whenever I

809
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: told him I wanted to go to a different college,

810
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: my family had a bet that I would be home

811
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: for a semester that wouldn't be able to go and

812
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: do it.

813
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 3: Where did your older brother go to school.

814
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: So my older brother was really really good at baseball,

815
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: had a scholarship and he got into a really bad

816
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 1: accident and he was welding like on a machine and

817
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: it smashed his fingers.

818
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 3: Is he okay now?

819
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he's fine now.

820
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: But like he ended up taking like a year off

821
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: and like regrouping and figuring out that life.

822
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 3: And so he stayed closer to home.

823
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he ended up working for my dad after that,

824
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: because my dad ends a couple of businesses.

825
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 2: And yeah, that was.

826
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: A very like turning point for our family because we

827
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: were really excited for him. He was really good at

828
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: sports and it was just really hard for him.

829
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, but you were the first one that left

830
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 4: left the nest and really left and then blew up

831
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 4: online and your parents called like what the heck is

832
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: going on in Alabama?

833
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: Yes, it was really hard for me. Like the first

834
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: two weeks I was like, holy crap, how am I

835
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: gonna do this?

836
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: But then I found out about my family's bet and

837
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna stick through this,

838
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: and then social media everything it was.

839
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: Perfect, Like it was.

840
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Such and it's like an insane path to where I've

841
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: got to where I am now, and it's been super

842
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: special and I'm really grateful. It's just really funny at

843
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: the same time, because I'm somebody like I always felt

844
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: like I can't even describe this. I always knew that

845
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: I would go away and it would be like like

846
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: people all the time, Like whenever I was graduating, they're like,

847
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: why are you going away? And like I didn't at

848
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: the time know how I would like pay for my

849
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: college tuition, Like I had a scholarship fund from like that,

850
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: but like I didn't know how I was going to

851
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: pay for like the everyday life.

852
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, yeah, cause you're talking about girls

853
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 4: showing up to game day number one in Zimmerman and Alexis.

854
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 4: Let me, I tell you, like I did not buy

855
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 4: clothes when I was in college.

856
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was I knew how I was going

857
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: to pay for my tuition my grandma's I got a

858
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: scholarship and my grandpa set me up a very like

859
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: great college fund. I didn't know how I was going

860
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: to pay for like outfits. I didn't know how I

861
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: was going to pay for a sorority. My dad told me.

862
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: I remember begging my dad whenever I found out. I

863
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: didn't find out what like the sorority life was until

864
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: my freshman orientation. All the girls came out to me

865
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: and they're like, are you going to do Bama Rush?

866
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: We know that you're impageants, we've seen you before, and

867
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: I knew a couple of girl Like it was so weird.

868
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: I remember you being at freshman orientation seeing a girl

869
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: that I used to compete against a dance competition. I

870
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: was like, I've never talked to you before, but I

871
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: know you. I know your answer, Gane. So it was

872
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: just so funny in that aspect of having no idea.

873
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: And my dad, whenever I first called him and asked him,

874
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: He's like, I am not paying for you to make friends.

875
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: You are the most social butterfly. I know you will

876
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: be fine. You do not need to be in a sorority, Kyle.

877
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: And that's ridiculous. And so I was like, Dad, please,

878
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: And so he paid for like my first round.

879
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 3: I was like, that's a visit to pay, like to

880
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 3: join a sorority and be in one.

881
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: I used to have these number ofs memorized.

882
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 3: Is it like a thousand dollars?

883
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: Is it more? Really?

884
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: Yeah?

885
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: I mean that wouldn't have been.

886
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: Just say, okay, I can say my sophomore year of college,

887
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: I know for a fact I paid twenty grand because

888
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: I stayed in the house and then there were dues

889
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 1: on top of it, I believe.

890
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so your your housing fee was part of that.

891
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: Yes, so housing was part of that.

892
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: Where if you think, like dorms is like fourteen, okay

893
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: to do like to live in the dorm.

894
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 4: But this is where social media was great for you

895
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: because you started making your own money pretty quickly.

896
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: So that was why the whole thing turned out so great,

897
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: because I was gonna have to get a job to

898
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: like pay for like the every day like the going now,

899
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: and like Alabama is so expensive and I know that

900
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: like the way I live is so like lavish compared

901
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: to the normal like college person. I really like that's

902
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: one of my goals this year is to like be

903
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: financially responsible because I have lived.

904
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: My best life in college.

905
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: But like it's time that I've got other goals and

906
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to move to New York. I know

907
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: New York's expensive, and I'm I've paid for everything myself,

908
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: like my car insurance, my phone bill since I was

909
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: a freshman, so as soon as I liked that. But

910
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm extremely grateful because my dad, like my dad and

911
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: mom like they My dad owns like his own farm

912
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: and everything, and he has a couple of businesses.

913
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: But they didn't just like hand me money growing up.

914
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: If I wanted money, they would be like, you're gonna

915
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: go do chores out on the farm and then you

916
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: can go to the movies with your friends, and like

917
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: they paid for everything that, like all my pageants all

918
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: of that. So then whenever I was actually making good money,

919
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: it was nice for me to be financially independent, and

920
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: it taught me a lot of great lessons in life,

921
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: like doing that all by myself. Because it taught me

922
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: it made me hungrier for success because once I got

923
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: a taste of like I remember it was like November

924
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: of no it was October. We were going to the

925
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: LSU game and I was on my way down and

926
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm not like somebody like talks price as ever, but

927
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: this was really special to me, especially like the way

928
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: I grew up. I remember making one hundred K in

929
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: one month and being like, holy crap, and I just

930
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: like started crying. I was like, this is insane, just

931
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: because my parents just didn't like, Yes, they paid for

932
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: my patents and like my activities, but that was their way.

933
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: They didn't just like give me everything I wanted. And

934
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people, like online don't like didn't.

935
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: Know that about me.

936
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that, like I came from

937
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: like this mega millionaire family by the way I was dressing,

938
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: when they didn't know that, like my college was paid for. Yes,

939
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: I was paying for everything myself, so I was able

940
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: to throw money on like the cute outfit because I

941
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: was working so hard behind the scenes that nobody knew about.

942
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: Of course, in that aspect of it has been very

943
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: nice and very freeing that like my parents don't have

944
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: to like if I was to get I loved having

945
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: the freedom because like in high school, whenever I'd get

946
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: in trouble, the second I did something bad, they just

947
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: my parents would cut my phone off because they paid

948
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: for my phone, so I did not get my phone

949
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: if I was being a bad kid or if I

950
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: got a bad grade. So it's nice having like you

951
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: can't cut my phone because I paid for it.

952
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: That was nice.

953
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 4: My parents did the same thing, and I remember I

954
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 4: was so happy when I got off my parents' phone

955
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 4: bill for that exact reason.

956
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's so freeing and I love them that

957
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: I love like I wouldn't be here today without my parents.

958
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: But they really were great at not like making me

959
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: do things for it. So I do appreciate that because

960
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: it made me kind of appreciate it more.

961
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty five Alabama Rush was a big year for

962
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 4: your family. We've got Mama Darnell entering the picture, We've

963
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 4: got Izzy Darnell on campus.

964
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 3: So let's talk about what it.

965
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 4: Was like when a your mom steps onto campus, be

966
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: your sister's now there. I was twenty twenty five Bama

967
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 4: Rush different for you than prior years.

968
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: I don't even have. I'm very grateful for it now.

969
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: I think that my perspective has entirely changed, to be

970
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: completely honest on it.

971
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 2: Through it, I was not a happy camper.

972
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 4: I can't imagine being a senior on campus and all

973
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 4: of a sudden, my mom's there too.

974
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: I was not a happy camper.

975
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: And I haven't really said anything about this just because

976
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: I do like to put out like the most positive

977
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: thing online and always be a positive source. But we're

978
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: gonna get really into it. I hated it. To be

979
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: completely transparent. It kind of like I love my mom

980
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: and I love my sister, but it gave me a

981
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: lot of anxiety because I was somebody like especially posting online.

982
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: I like to put the best foot forward. I want

983
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: to be positive. I want to put out the best

984
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: image of myself, and I am one of my faults.

985
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: One of my great things, and one of my faults

986
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: is I'm a perfectionist, really bad. So it's great in

987
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 1: work and like trying to like turn around the content

988
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: and like do all that, but in regular life, I'm

989
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: really really hard on myself. And so then whenever my

990
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 1: sister comes into Alabama, and now I love my sister,

991
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: she's my best friend and we've really grown together.

992
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: My college experience.

993
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: Has completely been This has been my favorite year yet

994
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 1: because she's with me and it's my all time best friend.

995
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: But during Rush, she was giving me a lot of

996
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: anxiety just because that was my last time doing it.

997
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: That was like my tip the hat past the torch.

998
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: But my sister went into it and she realized quickly

999
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: that she did not want to be in authority, that

1000
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: she did not like it, that she thought it was stupid,

1001
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: and so she would go online and like she would

1002
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: be like sworty girls, this sorty girl's that.

1003
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't like it.

1004
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: And I was sitting beside her and I was like, dude,

1005
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm one of those like and it was hurting my

1006
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: feelings a little bit and it kind of made me

1007
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: feel like invalid. I want to say no, We've talked

1008
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: through all of this, but it gave me a lot

1009
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: of anxiety that week because then I was worried about

1010
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: what house is my sister gonna get in? Is my

1011
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: sorority gonna take my sister because at this point, like

1012
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: sororities have been through it with influencers, and I've always

1013
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: tried to put the best foot forward for my sorority

1014
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: and be positive online, but other people haven't. So I

1015
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: think it's really hard for them to sign on an

1016
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: online personality with so many followers. Now, I will admit

1017
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: Izzy has matured a lot sense and I think that

1018
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: she's had it the tougher than I did at Alabama

1019
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: because she came in with all the numbers already. I

1020
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: think a lot of people were harder on her, and

1021
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: she is so nonchalant. I don't care. Well she's opposite nonchalant.

1022
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: That was a really bad word to describe her, Like,

1023
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: she doesn't care about people's opinions. If it makes Izzy happy,

1024
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: is he's gonna do it. She's the most outgoing, She's

1025
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: the most vivacious person. Whenever you sit around her, she

1026
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: makes everybody in a room.

1027
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: She's the light.

1028
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: She makes everybody in the room like better. But I

1029
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: think the online from where she is very outspoken and

1030
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: she's like what's up, fools, people take that as a

1031
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: negative connotation towards her and don't realize how great of

1032
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: a person she actually is. Now we did have like

1033
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of fun time, like rage baiting and

1034
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: like her being like because I was so perfect online

1035
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: and like she wasn't so like her being the villain

1036
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: sometimes is fun. But she really is a great girl

1037
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: and all of her friends love her. And I feel

1038
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: like a lot of people have seen her soft, mosty

1039
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: side that she doesn't let people see at Alabama. So

1040
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: she's been having a really really great experience now.

1041
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 4: But I think your mom does a really good job

1042
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 4: also showing that side of Izzy and that side of you,

1043
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 4: you know. Having your mom now online too, like balances

1044
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 4: everything out.

1045
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it started out where I was getting

1046
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: to do all of like the influencer things, and my

1047
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: sister had to sit at home in high schoo and

1048
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: like watch all of my success. And we were always

1049
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: somebody that like we competed against each.

1050
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 2: Other growing up.

1051
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: There were pagets where we were against each other and

1052
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: I would beat my sister or she would beat me.

1053
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: So we've always had a very tight knit, tight knit

1054
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: relationship and we always compete against each other. So I

1055
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: think it was really hard for her whenever I moved

1056
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: away Number one, I got really immersed in like my friends,

1057
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: and I kinda I was not the best oldest sister

1058
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: to her. I did not check in on her. I

1059
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: did not ask her how high school was. I was

1060
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: so into myself and so into my own life that

1061
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: I forgot to be like a good older sister. And

1062
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: it really makes me upset now thinking about it. But

1063
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: we've been able to mend our relationship because freshman and

1064
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: sophomore year was really hard for us, going from being

1065
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: best friends to word There was a point whenever Izzy

1066
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: stepped online, I was so mad at her that I

1067
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: unfollowed her for the things that she was saying.

1068
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 2: It embarrassed me. But we're great.

1069
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about the yellow dress.

1070
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, the yellow dress. So as he fell

1071
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: on the pool before prom, and that was real following

1072
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: in the pool, Okay, I'll tell you what actually happened.

1073
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: She was standing there making a TikTok and she wanted

1074
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: to see which prom dress that she would like the best. Okay,

1075
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: So she was spinning around by the pool figuring out

1076
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: like what, taking pictures, and my mom was taking videos

1077
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: of her. Now, her falling in the pool was legit

1078
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: the very first time.

1079
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: In the yellow dress and the yellow but then we.

1080
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: Could it went viral, so of course we had to

1081
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: wear it out. But I would admit whenever she fell

1082
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: in the pool, it wasn't right.

1083
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 2: Before her prom.

1084
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: It was before her pre prompt pictures to make sure

1085
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: that everything was perfect like that was one thing that

1086
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: we started doing. What we learned from pageants is if

1087
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: you got a big event the day before, go out

1088
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: in your dress and take pictures to make sure that

1089
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: you like your hair. You bike all what it Because

1090
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: my mom would always do her hair and makeup, and

1091
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: if you didn't like something, you could see it there

1092
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: and then you could make content before, because like I

1093
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: did prompt content as well, Like that was one of

1094
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: my best viral videos whenever I was younger, was doing

1095
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: prom content. So izzy of course the follow on that footsteps,

1096
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like the day the hours before her problem.

1097
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,479
Speaker 1: It was the day before, so like we were able

1098
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 1: to like make a little storyline out of it, and

1099
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: it worked.

1100
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 2: It did. It was very viral.

1101
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: I remember literally looking at it and like, holy crap,

1102
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: my sister got eighty million views.

1103
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 2: That's insane.

1104
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 3: And when you had first seen it, what was your

1105
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 3: initial reaction?

1106
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was hilarious. I mean, I loved it.

1107
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: I was I was kind of happy for her because

1108
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: it was really hard for her to watch me beyond

1109
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,479
Speaker 1: social media and people always asking about me and not her,

1110
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: And so it really like made our relationship better because

1111
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: we were able to travel together and we were able

1112
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: to do all like the share our experience together, and

1113
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: it made it really special. Once is you started doing

1114
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: social media, it was really hard and rocky at first,

1115
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: but once we figured it out, it really made us

1116
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: like stronger as friends and like sisters.

1117
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 4: And I feel like you guys, you and as he

1118
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 4: play off each other so well on social media, and

1119
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 4: for a while there, like maybe a year or six months,

1120
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 4: I remember just seeing so much rage bade from the

1121
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 4: two of you, where you were just like driving audiences crazy.

1122
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 3: I remember like the fake bags at Christmas.

1123
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 2: Was one thing?

1124
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 4: Right?

1125
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 3: Was that a planned?

1126
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: That one actually wasn't really planned. It so funny because

1127
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 1: whenever we were through our I'm through my rage brating, guys,

1128
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: I promise I'm over it.

1129
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 2: I'm never doing it again. I learned a lot from it.

1130
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: But we were trying to I was honestly trying to

1131
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: get my sister followers. I wanted her to be at

1132
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: my level at that point in time, because it's we

1133
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: realized early that we would be more successful together rather

1134
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: than separated.

1135
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 4: Was the rage bating a conscious decision, Like would you

1136
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 4: guys be texting each other being like let's do this?

1137
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 2: Well, no, it.

1138
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: Would happen like we would post a video online. Then

1139
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: all these people would get pissed about it, and I

1140
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: would be like, wait, I would be the sister that's

1141
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: sitting there crying freaking out.

1142
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: Like would we do mo?

1143
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: And that's me I don't I don't get how like

1144
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: people were mad about this? And then once we realized

1145
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: that the audience was mad about it, then we would

1146
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: make the second video being rage baiting, but the first

1147
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: one really was usually dig.

1148
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 3: The worst part to no. No, you guys were so

1149
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: good at it.

1150
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: So then we saw like the way it was being taken,

1151
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: then we would rage d off of that and it

1152
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: would just keep being a thing and keep being Yeah.

1153
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 4: Well, I feel like Izzy coming online helped you in

1154
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 4: so many ways too, because Izzy's like the opposite of

1155
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 4: trying to look perfect online, Like she is just so

1156
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 4: fully herself, right, yes, and like she looks great online.

1157
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 3: She's beautiful. I love her outfits. She's so fun.

1158
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I feel like she did really spark something

1159
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 4: inside of you where you were like I can show

1160
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 4: all the sides of myself myself and I could be

1161
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 4: more vulnerable, and I've gotten older, I'm not this, you know,

1162
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 4: just like yeah, like perfectionist girl anymore. Like I still

1163
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 4: have those attributes to me and I always will, but

1164
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 4: I can be myself.

1165
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it brought that out because Izzy is genuinely I've

1166
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: still I've met a lot of people on this earth.

1167
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: I've not met anybody more authentic than Izzy. She walks

1168
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: to the beaut of her own drum and is not

1169
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: not sad about it.

1170
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 2: She loves it.

1171
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, is Izzy still at the University of Alabama? Yes, okay,

1172
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 4: because that's like every I know, Like.

1173
00:49:58,840 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot.

1174
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: While so she was we were doing like a little

1175
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: cute interview, and she didn't say that she was trains storring.

1176
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: She said that she was going online. So she's still

1177
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 1: at Alabama. She's just online. And like whenever I moved

1178
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: to New York, she's of course going to come with me,

1179
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: but she's still graduating. We want to graduate from the

1180
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: same university. So we graduated from the same high school.

1181
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: We want to graduate from the same university.

1182
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 3: That's funny to know that you guys are going to

1183
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 3: be in New York together.

1184
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 2: Oh, it's six I'm so excited.

1185
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 3: How lucky is that.

1186
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: Oh it's it's going to be amazing. I'm so excited

1187
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: to start like my new life there. And having my

1188
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: sister with me makes it so much more fun and

1189
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: special because she's my best friend. And I also love

1190
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: it because we fight all the time, but she genuinely

1191
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: can never turn her back on me because my parents

1192
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: would not want that happened if we ever got in

1193
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,919
Speaker 1: like a giant fight, but it's made life a lot

1194
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: more fun.

1195
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 3: Okay, well, now let's talk about Mama Darnel, Mama tee Qalitea.

1196
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 4: So you went from getting out of your small hometown,

1197
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 4: you know, feeling like yourself, being independent, being on a

1198
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 4: college campus for the first time, loving that independence, loving

1199
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 4: that freedom, you know, paying for yourself, and then all

1200
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 4: of a sudden, senior year, your mom's there with you.

1201
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 3: She's helping you guys with your outfits.

1202
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 4: And I'm sure, like I can't imagine being a college

1203
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 4: student and having my mom there. I'm sure there were

1204
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 4: pros and I'm sure there were cons, So let's talk

1205
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 4: about them.

1206
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 2: There were pros and cons.

1207
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: So well, first of all, we decided to let my

1208
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: mom participate in TikTok. I always grew up like whenever

1209
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: I started, I was like, do not do not because

1210
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: she was like she she loves self help and she

1211
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: loves teaching people's stuff. That's like her thing is like

1212
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: she loves teaching sewing. She loves teaching all of that thing,

1213
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 1: like all that stuff.

1214
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 3: She's so good at it.

1215
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 2: Oh, she's gonna all that. Like she's very artsy.

1216
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 3: And inherited that from her.

1217
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, where I've got more of my dad's

1218
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: brain side. But anyway, I remember we had went on

1219
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: a brand trip to London and me and Izzie were

1220
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: like out of the country, traveling around getting to see

1221
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: all the Torsi things. My mom like wanted to go.

1222
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: But sometimes with brands, if you don't like have like

1223
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: social media, I hate this part, but they won't let

1224
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: you go like they like sometimes, Like that's why tart

1225
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: is so amazing because they let you pick whoever in

1226
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: this world you want to bring, But sometimes brands won't

1227
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: let you. And my mom really, my mom's favorite place

1228
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: is London. She really wanted to go, and I think

1229
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: that it was hard for her to like see her

1230
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: baby girls. Like we'd face time her through everything and

1231
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: she's like getting a little bit of fun of my

1232
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: almost but she's happy for us, like she was like

1233
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: she was living through us. But like it really her

1234
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: TikTok started because she was like, I want to be

1235
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: able to go and do things with you guys number

1236
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: one and then number two as soon as Izzie graduated.

1237
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: The only kid that's left in the nest now is Cruise,

1238
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: my younger brother. My mother was so empty nested, like

1239
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: going crazy a little bit. There were moments like this

1240
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: summer where Izzy came down to Alabama and lived with me.

1241
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: Mom was calling me four times a day, like to

1242
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: the point where like I would be like working out,

1243
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: she'd be like, oh, I'll just sit here and like

1244
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: listen to you. And it was so sweet. But I

1245
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: didn't realize how empty nested she was. So she was like,

1246
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: I need a hobby, like genuinely, like I guess. She

1247
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: was talking to my dad and my dad was like,

1248
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: oh god. So she was like, all right, I think

1249
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 1: I want to start my TikTok girls.

1250
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: What do you think about that? At first, I was like, oh, yeah, girl,

1251
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 2: do it.

1252
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: I didn't know that she was gonna like actually get

1253
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: a lot of fogg wars. I didn't know that people

1254
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: were gonna be seeing me like as a little like

1255
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: embarrassing moments of myself. Because my mom is so good

1256
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: at she videos everything everything she's on it. So then

1257
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: I started to get a little bit embarrassed because there

1258
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: would be videos of like her and my dad dancing.

1259
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: There were videos of just her and her quirky personality

1260
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: where I was like.

1261
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Mom.

1262
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: But now I've learned to embrace it because we're actually

1263
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of things in the work.

1264
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: There's gonna be something with the Darnell's coming in soon.

1265
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 3: Got like a reality show with the Darnells.

1266
00:53:55,320 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 2: Something. I'm excited. It's being I'm teasing something with my

1267
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 2: whole family. It'll be fun.

1268
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 3: Well, I'm so excited for that.

1269
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 4: Honestly, there's nothing better than having success which you had individually,

1270
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 4: and then being able to bring your family along for

1271
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 4: the ride, and having them be along for the ride,

1272
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 4: but each in their own respects.

1273
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 3: And I think that's been really fun to see.

1274
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: And now I will admit it was really hard for

1275
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: my dad and brothers with my mom being on TikTok

1276
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: and me being on TikTok and Izzy being on TikTok.

1277
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: My dad is the most Southern like ideal person. He's

1278
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: very traditional. He does not like being out online. He

1279
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: did not like any of that and so like my

1280
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: mom would take videos of him on the beach and

1281
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: include him in her tiktoks. And it turns out my

1282
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: dad now has his own fan of page. It's called

1283
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: Daddy Darnell. He is not proud of it. He is

1284
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: not proud of it.

1285
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 2: He's very embarrassed.

1286
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:48,959
Speaker 3: I need to look at Daddy.

1287
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: He's he's just so opposite of us with that kind

1288
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,439
Speaker 1: of stuff. He likes being on the farm and doing

1289
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 1: just that. If in his perfect world social media would

1290
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 1: even exist.

1291
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: He didn't even.

1292
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: Know about TikTok until I was on TikTok, Like he

1293
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: made an Instagram to watch me and is he travel.

1294
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: He's very not into media whatsoever. So it's really funny

1295
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: like getting him to be in the videos because he's like,

1296
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, but fine, I'm like, Dad, it's for

1297
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: the family business.

1298
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 4: And then he's like fine, well, Also, you know there

1299
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 4: was a period during this past year's Bama Rush that

1300
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 4: you had a hard time right where you took a

1301
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 4: step away from being involved in Russian rush content.

1302
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that actually now I can say it. It

1303
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: all happened because I got a call from my like

1304
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: fate of president and it was like the fourth day

1305
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: of I can't remember what day of rush it was,

1306
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: so don't quote me on that, but I get a

1307
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: call saying like, hey, we love you, we love that

1308
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: you're in our sorority, but your sister is like a

1309
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: lot online and the thing with Izzy and like sororities

1310
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: is that they want to be able to control your media.

1311
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: I've had to take down so many different videos, like

1312
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: even like brand deals, things I was getting paid on.

1313
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: I've had to take down a lot of things.

1314
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 2: And I'm somebody that's willing to sacrifice that for my sorority.

1315
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 2: I thought it was fun.

1316
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: I love to I love to get into good to

1317
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: all the date parties. I love making all the friends.

1318
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: But Izzy didn't see it that way. She was like,

1319
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't want somebody telling me that I can be

1320
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: on media or not like or what I can and

1321
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: can't post. She's like, that's just not me. Like and

1322
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: if you knew Issy's characters, she's very much not like that.

1323
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: She doesn't really like people weighing and opinions on her life.

1324
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: She likes to do things the way that she likes

1325
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: to do them. So anyway, I get a call from

1326
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: my president and they were like, we just want to

1327
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: let you know, like we love you, we even like Izzy,

1328
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: but it's a social media thing where you we knew

1329
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: that you weren't going to go online and we know

1330
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: that like for example, like sports broadcasting, I want I

1331
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: made sure that my image was always clean online, where

1332
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: my sister's more of like the Alex Earlby beats to

1333
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: her own drum, and so I've always made it like

1334
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: a thing to be extremely clean online and tried my

1335
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: absolute best being a college too, being clean but being

1336
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: relatable at the same time, and that is really really

1337
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: hard to do. So my storty was like, we're not

1338
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: going to take Izzy, and I got that call, and

1339
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: like I knew that there were very.

1340
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 2: Slim chances of them, just because of all.

1341
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: The drama that Zada's had to go through, and like

1342
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: anytime I did something online, Zada would automatically get the

1343
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: flack whenever they had nothing to do with it, and

1344
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: so I would always like sometimes like I would try

1345
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: to be really careful and like, no matter how many

1346
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: times you watch a video when you think that it's

1347
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: not going to make people upset or that it's going

1348
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: to be totally fine, sometimes it just you have no

1349
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: control after watching it a million times and thinking it's okay,

1350
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: and then you have to learn from it and realize

1351
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: that it wasn't okay. And so I feel like that

1352
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: aspect of it, maybe a better person, maybe more understanding

1353
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: in the grand scale of life.

1354
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: But it really devastated me.

1355
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 3: So that's why you took a step away, because you

1356
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 3: were so upset.

1357
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: I was upset by that, and then I was upset

1358
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: that Izzy wanted Like I was so excited vetting her

1359
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: and like trying to get her in the houses and

1360
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: then whatever it is, he was like, I don't even

1361
00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: want to do this.

1362
00:57:58,600 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 2: I'm dropping like I don't.

1363
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: And it was just a lot for me, Like I

1364
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: really wanted her to be in my sisterhood. I wanted

1365
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: her or not, even if she didn't choose to do

1366
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: to my sorty, I wanted her to like get the

1367
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: experience of it. She didn't, she didn't want anything to

1368
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: do with it. And I really look back now and

1369
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 1: I think that my mom was a little bit pushing

1370
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: her into it, and is it's I think it's like

1371
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: so cool though within our family, is that you've got

1372
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: me who've like loved being in a sorority, then you got Izzy,

1373
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: who did her own thing. And I think that it's

1374
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: special that we were able to do both because honestly,

1375
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: now that I'm a senior, a lot of girls do

1376
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: drop and you don't have to be in a sorority

1377
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: to be successful in college.

1378
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: Is he shows you that?

1379
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: So I think that that's also inspirational to the other side, And.

1380
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 2: I love that.

1381
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 4: Now at that time, I know your mom was like

1382
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 4: on and off campus, like she was there sometimes helping

1383
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 4: you guys out. She was off campus sometimes like back

1384
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 4: at home during that period.

1385
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 3: Was she there?

1386
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 2: Oh?

1387
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 3: Yes, And how was that helpful for you?

1388
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 2: Well?

1389
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: She was there because is He decided to opt out

1390
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: a freshman house. Sing she went in private seat. That

1391
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: was the one thing like freshman year that I really

1392
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: struggled with, being in a big dorm and not having

1393
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: any privacy. So is He got her own house. And

1394
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: if you know my parents, you know my mom she's

1395
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: never gonna let her daughter live in something that's not

1396
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: top of the tier cuteness. So my mom was repainting

1397
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: the whole pointment that poor landlord.

1398
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 2: I was so scared.

1399
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: I was like, Mom, you can't just like repaint a

1400
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: whole house. The landlord walked in, loved it. He was like,

1401
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: I didn't even know have to pay it for this,

1402
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: Oh love bit. So that was great, But she was

1403
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: really like she was making it moving. Is he in

1404
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: essentially to like a whole house and not just like

1405
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: a dorm room. So it took a while, and then

1406
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: I think that she wanted to stick around to get

1407
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: some content and like show the other side. Now that

1408
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun, but it was it was

1409
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: just very overwhelming. Sometimes I will look back and I wonder,

1410
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: like what the experience would have been like if it

1411
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: would have just been me.

1412
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1413
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: I guess I wished before the whole thing happened that

1414
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: I would have known that my sister truly genuinely did

1415
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: not want to be in a sworty. I wish I

1416
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: would have known that because I didn't know she was

1417
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: acting to me like oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I think

1418
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: that she was scared to speak up. I think that

1419
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: she honestly thought that she needed to do what I did.

1420
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: And I think that like management and stuff like that

1421
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: like had a big key factor in that. And I

1422
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: think like she thought that if she didn't rush, then

1423
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: she wouldn't follow in my footsteps, and like she wanted

1424
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: to make me proud. And I didn't realize how much

1425
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: I was forcing it, but I was so.

1426
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 4: And I would love to ask her too, because also

1427
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 4: I feel like there could be a part of her

1428
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 4: that like maybe she didn't know before trying.

1429
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've never really talked about this part of it,

1430
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: but I didn't realize. Like she was like, dude, breathe,

1431
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: it's okay that I'm not a sorty. Why are you

1432
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: acting like this is the end of the world. And

1433
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know.

1434
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 2: It's just really hard, you do.

1435
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: It's hard when when the spokesperson to rush her sister

1436
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: gets dropped from her sport.

1437
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 2: That's hard, Like I was like, a y'all.

1438
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, that is hard.

1439
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 4: But also it's your expectations of like thinking that your

1440
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 4: sister wants this, and as that older sister, like you

1441
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 4: want the best for your younger sisters. You're like, well,

1442
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 4: if she says she wants this, then like and she's

1443
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 4: gonna try, then I'm going to make this the best

1444
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 4: experience for her. So I can't even imagine getting that

1445
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 4: phone call and then you know, everything really does happen

1446
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 4: for a reason, because then she actually says to you,

1447
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 4: you know what, I really actually don't want to be

1448
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 4: in a sorority. This experience was great, but it's not

1449
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 4: for me. Yeah, So that must have felt like a

1450
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 4: full circle relief.

1451
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 2: It was, and it was just so like off and on.

1452
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: She'd tell me that she wasn't rushing then was I

1453
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,439
Speaker 1: should have just been able to read into it better.

1454
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 3: I'm so excited for your family show. Are your brothers

1455
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 3: going to be in it?

1456
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 2: I think that I can't really say.

1457
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 3: Yet, Like is it going to be at the farm

1458
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:40,479
Speaker 3: or in New York City?

1459
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 2: Maybe both?

1460
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god, wait.

1461
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 4: I'm so excited to see her mom help out with

1462
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 4: decorating the apartment in New York.

1463
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1464
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: Me and my mom have very different design techniques. I'm

1465
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: not very okay. I like for her to just go

1466
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: in and do it and then it looks all pretty,

1467
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: and then I walk in at the end, I'm.

1468
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: Like, oh, I don't really I ever.

1469
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Been somebody that loves like with how much I love fashion,

1470
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: It would really surprise you how much I want nothing

1471
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: to do with decorating stuff.

1472
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 2: I'm just not good at it.

1473
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 3: Decorating's hard.

1474
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 2: It's hard. It's hard.

1475
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 4: I've been spending, like Jeremy knows this, but we're moving

1476
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 4: into an apartment on the Upper West Side, and when

1477
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 4: we get back to New York, I'm.

1478
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 3: So excited about it.

1479
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 4: It's like this beautiful, like classic pre war apartment that

1480
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 4: requires like all new furnitures. We currently live in a

1481
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 4: loft in Brooklyn, very different vibe that's like modern and

1482
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 4: almost like farmhouse modern.

1483
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 3: But this is going to be a whole different type

1484
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 3: of experience.

1485
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 4: And I have been mocking up designs for like hours

1486
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 4: a day and having so much fun with it. Yeah,

1487
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 4: but also being like, damn, like I know nothing about

1488
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 4: interior design.

1489
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 2: No, it's difficult.

1490
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: Props out to all those people that make spaces look beautiful.

1491
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: But one thing that I am excited for is that

1492
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: my dad and brother have never been to New York.

1493
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: They have never They have lived in Ohio their whole lives,

1494
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: and the only other place they've been is.

1495
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 2: Like the beach.

1496
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 3: Do you think they'll move with you?

1497
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, No, They've never been to like a big

1498
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: city though, Like I'm excited for my dad to see

1499
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: that life whenever he's moving me in, Like I think

1500
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: that will be like Aaron Arnell in The Big Apple.

1501
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hilarious, Like I honestly can't imagine it.

1502
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: He is so opposite like country bumpkin man, and so

1503
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be so funny to watch him, like see

1504
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: all the lights and the tall buildings because he's never

1505
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: seen anything like it.

1506
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's also gonna be so fun for you, like

1507
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 4: every time that he comes back to visit, especially as

1508
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 4: you get like more immersed in the experience and then

1509
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 4: you get to like have him experience your favorite parts

1510
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 4: of the city. I think that's gonna be really special.

1511
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 4: It's fun being a first time in New York for people.

1512
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?

1513
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: Yes, that's I feel like it's so magical. I'm definitely

1514
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: gonna take him to like a coffee shop and he's

1515
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna buy like a fifteen dollar coffee.

1516
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 2: He's probably gonna choke on me like this, just fifteen dollars.

1517
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 2: So that'll be so fun to watch, just like being.

1518
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 1: Around everything, just because like with pageants and dance and

1519
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: everything that I did growing up, we always traveled, but

1520
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: my dad didn't go to it. He was always a

1521
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: homeworking because he's such a busy man, and he's honestly

1522
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: not really into it. He didn't like it that much.

1523
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: So I think that him in a big city is

1524
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: going to be It's gonna be the biggest culture shock.

1525
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to see you two in New York City.

1526
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to get together.

1527
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 2: Oh definitely.

1528
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 3: I think you guys around like push the stroller together. Yeah,

1529
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 3: I'll be like, this is what your life will look

1530
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 3: like in ten years.

1531
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I'm so excited, Like, go there meet

1532
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: people who we get like a good relationship.

1533
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm excited for you.

1534
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 4: We've talked a lot about social media and how you

1535
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 4: have had obviously a very public experience with Rush talk

1536
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 4: and being the queen of Rush Talk and on social

1537
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 4: media sharing your experience.

1538
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 3: I know a lot of.

1539
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 4: People talk about how rush talk and social media has

1540
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 4: changed the actual rush itself. Right, Yes, how has social

1541
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 4: media changed Rush?

1542
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 2: Oh it's changed it so much.

1543
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: This is gonna sound crazy, but I have had so

1544
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: many people come up to me at Alabama and be like,

1545
01:04:58,280 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: I just came to Alabama because of you, and I

1546
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: want to be like, y'all want to figure out how

1547
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: to do Rush talk. And I feel like that is

1548
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:04,919
Speaker 1: where it changed Rush.

1549
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 2: Now. I'm very grateful for those.

1550
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: People that like looked up to me and like wanted

1551
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: to follow with my footsteps. I think that that is

1552
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: so special and it's also nice knowing that had a

1553
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: big effect on it, but it made like the process

1554
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: of getting into a sorty less genuine. We would have

1555
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: girls that like would come and rush and then they

1556
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: like would flog about it online and then whenever they

1557
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: didn't get the online traction, they would just drop the

1558
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: sorority after getting in or like move back home, like

1559
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: they just like tried it to become famous. And so

1560
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: that was where it like damp into a little bit.

1561
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: And also, y'all, I'm saying this to all those bray

1562
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: or rush viewers. If y'all don't chill out a little bit,

1563
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: we are so grateful for you. I know, I'm grateful

1564
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: for you. You guys made my life. They're gonna have

1565
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: to they're gonna take away rush talk. They're not careful

1566
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: like the audiences, yeah, because they attack sororities like if

1567
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: a girl doesn't for example, there's been so many scenarios

1568
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: where people will be in my comment like get this

1569
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: girl in your sorority, like what are you doing? You're

1570
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: missing the boat, And then they forget that it's not

1571
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: just about looks, it's not just about outfits.

1572
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 2: It's not even.

1573
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: About that thirty second clip. The way they present themselves,

1574
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: it's really important you got to have a good GPA.

1575
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: You got to have like good volunteer work in your community.

1576
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: You have to have like GPA is the number one,

1577
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 1: like for example, to get in to say that you

1578
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: have to have it's either are three point two. My

1579
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: year was three point two. I believe it to three

1580
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: point six now. And the reason why it's so important

1581
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: is because if you didn't have a good GPN in

1582
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: high school when your parent, like if you're living with

1583
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: your parents and like your teachers are more devoted to

1584
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: you in high school, then moving to college and being

1585
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: in a sorority and doing all this sorority stuff because

1586
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: at Alabama's sorority is very demanding, you're not going to

1587
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: get good grades. Like it's just you can tell right

1588
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: off the bat, and especially with then when every throw

1589
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: in partying into the mix, You've got to be able

1590
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: to balance it. That is the most important part. And

1591
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people would be in my dms like, oh.

1592
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 2: My gosh, you're so terrible.

1593
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe, like you didn't pick her, And then

1594
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: they would be going off at my sorority for not

1595
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: picking a girl when they didn't even know the girl's resume.

1596
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: I think that that is so important to remember it

1597
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: to be just because you fall in love with the

1598
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: girl online doesn't mean you can fall in love with

1599
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: her own paper. And I think that that is like

1600
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: sororities like went under fire, and like people would like

1601
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: be giving sororities like a bad reap and like going

1602
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: off on these sororities online and like being their dms

1603
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: and you forget the college girl runs that accounts of course,

1604
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 1: like we know about it all and it was just

1605
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: causing like a bit of a crisis. They're for a

1606
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: little bit in our sorority.

1607
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 4: And I also think that's really good advice because you know,

1608
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 4: I think a lot of young girls in high school,

1609
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 4: you know, are on social media and they see you guys,

1610
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 4: and they see the outfits and they see the parties,

1611
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 4: and you know, they see how much fun you guys

1612
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 4: are having in the cute TikTok video trends that you're doing,

1613
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 4: but you're not seeing the school work, yeah, you know,

1614
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 4: and what's happening during the day when you're not out

1615
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 4: and about doing fun things socially.

1616
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1617
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: And I think that during bim rush, these people like

1618
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: get online and we're so thankful for the ones that

1619
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: support us, just literally leave a nice comment on the

1620
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: girl's stuff, like like, oh my goodness, you look so

1621
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: cute today, good luck, and then scroll because then you've

1622
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: got people that are you guys like I think that

1623
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: they online forget that these girls are so vulnerable. They're seventeen,

1624
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: they're eighteen, they're freshman in college, new place without their parents,

1625
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: just got dropped off, anxieties at a all time high,

1626
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 1: and then they've got people and they're like, honestly, this

1627
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: is gonna sound like weird whenever I say this, but

1628
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,799
Speaker 1: the viewers should be grateful that they're getting.

1629
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 2: To see the experience because a girl could easily.

1630
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: Say I don't want to show it because number one,

1631
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: the girl whenever they show themselves online, they're automatically down

1632
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: grading their chance to get to a sorority because sorities

1633
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: don't really want that anymore because it's not as genuine

1634
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: as it used to be. And then you've got people

1635
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: that are hating on them in the comments. That breaks

1636
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: my heart the most whenever like a little cute girl's

1637
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: on there like trying to like do her process and

1638
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: people are just being like, you should be in this sorority,

1639
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: or oh, you're not good enough to be in this sorority.

1640
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 2: Don't do that. Just be like heartheart, love your outfit

1641
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 2: and continue on.

1642
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,759
Speaker 1: And that would make it so much better for everybody's

1643
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: mental health.

1644
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 2: I believe.

1645
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and I'm sure that happened to you too

1646
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 4: when you were a young girl. I'm sure there were

1647
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 4: negative comments that you were getting, So it makes sense

1648
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 4: that you feel so much for those people.

1649
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: Yes, And it like, like, especially when my sister got it,

1650
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: people would be like, Izzy does not deserve to be

1651
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: in a sorority, and like, okay, you can have your opinion.

1652
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 1: I can't control your opinion, but don't post it on

1653
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: the girl's page. It's basically cyber bullying.

1654
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 2: And it's so sad.

1655
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:30,440
Speaker 3: It is cyberbullying.

1656
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 4: Okay, not basically, it is cyberbullying. Anytime you leave a

1657
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,799
Speaker 4: hate comment, you are bullying, and you are a bully.

1658
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: I just think that out in our world right now,

1659
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of hurting hearts, and I think that

1660
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people are hurting. And I think that

1661
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people compare people like to what they

1662
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: see online. They compare their lives to what they see online,

1663
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: and I forget that they well, I feel that they

1664
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: forget that that's not always like everybody's life. It is

1665
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:59,520
Speaker 1: very upsetting, like the hate comments that like just college creators,

1666
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 1: young girl, they're just women in general, and even guys too,

1667
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: Like it's really it's really hard sometimes. But I think

1668
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: that I've been able to build myself up so much

1669
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 1: that I'm very thick skin to It doesn't bother me

1670
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: as much as it used too. But there was a

1671
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: time when I was a freshman that a hate comment

1672
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: could put me in my bed.

1673
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 2: For a week crying.

1674
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: Because I was such a people pleaser. I liked everybody

1675
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: thinking that I was doing it perfectly. I wanted to

1676
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: make everybody around me happy, and then I finally realized

1677
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:27,520
Speaker 1: that it just wasn't obtainable.

1678
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 4: I think also when it comes to hate comments, like

1679
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 4: you and I both deal with them, right, you.

1680
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 3: Know, but the positive so much so outweighs the bad.

1681
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, ten to one, ten to one.

1682
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 4: But it is so funny how like you can get

1683
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 4: hundreds of positive comments and then those five negative comments

1684
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 4: and they do stick with you.

1685
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're persistent because usually it's, like I want

1686
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: to say, it's like a group of ten haters that

1687
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 1: are on everything constantly. I do think that that's crazy,

1688
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 1: like the people that like stalk your page and like

1689
01:10:55,840 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: constantly you're commenting something negative. I wonder how I wish

1690
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 1: that there was a way that we could go about

1691
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 1: fixing that.

1692
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 2: I just think that everybody should get in activity. Maybe

1693
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 2: that's like, yes, I think an activity would help. You know.

1694
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 3: What's so funny, I just talked.

1695
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:13,480
Speaker 4: I had a psychologist on Jeremy's mom who's a performance psychologist,

1696
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 4: and she works with a lot of professional athletes, and

1697
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 4: she was she said that exact thing. Oh really, she

1698
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 4: was like, I really think like kids that are maybe

1699
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 4: in a negative mindset, if they just had more activities

1700
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 4: or more passions.

1701
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 3: They wouldn't feel that way.

1702
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 4: And she's a big believer in movement and getting outside

1703
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 4: and moving your body.

1704
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I'm so positive Because I grew up

1705
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,879
Speaker 1: I was a competitive dancer, I did pageants, I played soccer,

1706
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 1: I ran track, I was a cheerleader, played softball, I

1707
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:41,799
Speaker 1: lived on a farm.

1708
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 2: I haven't played football at one point.

1709
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:44,799
Speaker 3: One of four kids.

1710
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that everybody at the New Year,

1711
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: let's all do this. Everybody get an activity. Don't just

1712
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: like sit in new school because I feel like that's

1713
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: when it comes in. I don't know, I just wish

1714
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: everybody was.

1715
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 3: Happy I did too.

1716
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:59,759
Speaker 4: Okay, so A, I've loved talking to you and getting

1717
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 4: to know you, and it's so fun just getting to

1718
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 4: know you and hearing you know your passions as a

1719
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 4: young kid and how that has really you know, from

1720
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 4: growing up being a tomboy to then getting into pageants,

1721
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 4: to then getting into so serty life at the University

1722
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 4: of Alabama to studying sports broadcasting and liking to be

1723
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 4: on camera, like it all just makes so much sense

1724
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 4: and folds.

1725
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 3: Into each other so nicely.

1726
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 4: So let's talk a little bit about what it has

1727
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 4: been like balancing your sports broadcasting and journalism degree at

1728
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 4: the University.

1729
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 3: Of Alabama all while doing rush. You know, you've had

1730
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 3: this other side of you going on.

1731
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 2: So I think that a lot of people.

1732
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 1: I forget sometimes myself that I need to put college first.

1733
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:41,560
Speaker 1: It's really hard for me because I've been through it. Like, honestly,

1734
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: this is my last semester, y'all, I'm done after this.

1735
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:44,879
Speaker 2: But thank god I graduated.

1736
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: There were moments where I grew up being such a

1737
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: good student and always getting good grades because you know,

1738
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 1: that's kind of comes to being a perfectionist, it really does.

1739
01:12:55,200 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: But I remember about my software, I was like, all right, sees,

1740
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: get degrees, you know what, because I was traveling so much,

1741
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: doing so many events that it was really really hard

1742
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:08,719
Speaker 1: to balance.

1743
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 2: But the experiences that.

1744
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 1: I was kidding, like, for example, this is so funny,

1745
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 1: but last semester, I had a professor that wouldn't let

1746
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: me miss certain things. Like I was literally I remember

1747
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: it was my like, I don't want to call this

1748
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 1: teacher rock because I did end up liking him as

1749
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: a professor, but I was literally working college game day

1750
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,759
Speaker 1: had to go to the set block that Friday.

1751
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:33,440
Speaker 2: Game Day was that Saturday.

1752
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: I was missing that Friday class. Now remember I'm a

1753
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,759
Speaker 1: sports broadcasting degree, like I am a news media major

1754
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: with minor in sports, So you would think that I

1755
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: would get an absence for that class like that that

1756
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: would be excused.

1757
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 2: Nope.

1758
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 1: That was the one thing about the University of Album

1759
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: that I really struggled with was that teachers didn't understand

1760
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't.

1761
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1762
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 1: Why, and like it would keep me up and night.

1763
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: I would cry about it. But I didn't understand why

1764
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:04,480
Speaker 1: I was able like doing all these worldly, great experiences

1765
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: that were setting me up for my next life. It's

1766
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 1: no different than an internship. It's basically the same thing.

1767
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,839
Speaker 1: It's just shorter. But I wouldn't, like my teachers wouldn't

1768
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: help me around that, and so I basically like did

1769
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: it all myself. I got all those opportunities, like with

1770
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: my management and me and I would really have to

1771
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 1: figure out how to time manage because my professors were like,

1772
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: you're a student first, doesn't matter what else you do.

1773
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Be a student. You can do that at any time.

1774
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: And it was really really hard, but I did.

1775
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 4: It because there's a lot of kids, I mean a

1776
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 4: traditional college student. It's like college is the full time job,

1777
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 4: and then the internships are in the summer months. I mean,

1778
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 4: I was somebody that was like you, where I always

1779
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 4: interned during my I mean years is a little different

1780
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 4: because it's social media, you're on camera. But I always

1781
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 4: intern during my college year. So I would take night

1782
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 4: classes to make it all work. And I ended up

1783
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 4: graduating early because I was the same as you. I

1784
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 4: was like, I want to get out of college. I

1785
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 4: want to start my work, you know, start my full

1786
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,719
Speaker 4: time job, start making money. But it is hard because

1787
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 4: being a student is a full time job, and then

1788
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 4: to balance that with another full time job, which is

1789
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 4: like literally literally you making adult money doing what you

1790
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:05,719
Speaker 4: want to do post grad.

1791
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 3: It's a struggle.

1792
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 2: Oh it was. It kept me up at night.

1793
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, hey, my next like this semester coming up

1794
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: is going to be my easiest one.

1795
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 2: Yes, I am like extremely.

1796
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 3: What classes do you have on? Do you have like

1797
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 3: fun classes?

1798
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:20,560
Speaker 2: They're all basically electives?

1799
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 3: Okay, good? Like what's the best elective I'm coming up?

1800
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm doing a golf elective where I have to just

1801
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: go to the golf course and take a picture of

1802
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: a scorecard. And I really I love golfing. I can

1803
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: hit the ball in the air.

1804
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 3: Now, why do I golf coverage?

1805
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 2: Oh? I would love to do an in between the

1806
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 2: tent section. I think that's so cute.

1807
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 3: So what are you doing post college?

1808
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 4: Because I know you've had the experience of working at

1809
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 4: a lot of game days, you've done stuff with the

1810
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:48,719
Speaker 4: MLS right as well?

1811
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 3: What else have you done.

1812
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:54,799
Speaker 2: So I've done? I'm I'm really hoping the old miss wins.

1813
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: And I never thought i'd say that as an Alabama

1814
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: fan because I'll be working the Natty coming up, and

1815
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for that school, miss wins because usually,

1816
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: like if an SEC wins, I get to go and

1817
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: do SEC Nation. I absolutely love their crew. I mean,

1818
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: they are the best people.

1819
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 2: To work with.

1820
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: They automatically made me feel so included and like.

1821
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 2: Am I a professional?

1822
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm on my way there, but they were very very

1823
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: kind to me and help me out or retledge.

1824
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 2: There is not enough words.

1825
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: On this planet that you can genuinely say about that woman.

1826
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: She's the most hard working, iconic, legendary figure in sports

1827
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, she's just doing it. She's I

1828
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: was so impressed with her.

1829
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 2: But so my goal.

1830
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: I love social media and I love that I get

1831
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: to do social media, and I also love sports and

1832
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: I love sports broadcasting. I want to be able to

1833
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: merge those together and do both. I would love to

1834
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:49,560
Speaker 1: create content for a network but also get the broadcast experience.

1835
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 1: I've been in talks and I can't really say yet,

1836
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: and I hate to do that because it's I'm so

1837
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: excited about it, but I am moving to New York

1838
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: for a reason. Does have something to do with it,

1839
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 1: But I've always grown up playing sports. I love talking

1840
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: about sports. So my goal in the end would be

1841
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 1: to take on a role kind of always keeping the

1842
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: sports information everything first. But I also love embracing like

1843
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: ever since Taylor Swift stepped into the industry, I know

1844
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people loved it.

1845
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people hated it, but.

1846
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: It's made sports more immersive, more lifestyle, more traditional, more

1847
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: pulp culture, and it's brought in such a demographic.

1848
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 2: Of women into the sport.

1849
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: And being a woman myself, I think that it's so

1850
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: interesting and once you learn the baselines of sports, they're

1851
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: actually so entertaining. That was why I did my batty

1852
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: baller University where I was teaching girls sports, football, positions,

1853
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,680
Speaker 1: terms and makeup, because I think that it's really hard

1854
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: for girls to get into it by just sitting down

1855
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: with like a guy, a brother, their dad and just

1856
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 1: watching it because they don't boys already know, they don't describe.

1857
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 2: It to us.

1858
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 1: But once you learn it, Jane only becomes really really,

1859
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: really interesting, and then you get to get into fantasy

1860
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: leagues and all of that stuff, and it's a really

1861
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:12,600
Speaker 1: really fun activity. Like I said, activities, Yeah, I just

1862
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: love sports.

1863
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 2: I said, it's so fun.

1864
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: I would think that more people need to get involved.

1865
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get like college girls my age.

1866
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: I started that because I remember I was sitting on

1867
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: the couch with my college friends and I like, turn

1868
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the ballgame on. They're like, oh, I don't even know,

1869
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: like what's going on, and so I basically like broke

1870
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: down the positions and taught them. And I have gotten

1871
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: such a great review from women about like, oh, I

1872
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: know how I know what this means. Now I can't

1873
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: wait to share this with my husband or my significant other.

1874
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 1: That's gonna be so exciting. And now I understand the game.

1875
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: And then I've got husbands in my comments saying, well,

1876
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: now I know about makeup. So I love bringing both

1877
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: sides together and I think.

1878
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun.

1879
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 4: We talked about this on the run, But I love

1880
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 4: that you bring a feminine touch to the world of sports.

1881
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that that's so important because I mean,

1882
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 1: as you see, like athletes even are starting to do

1883
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: it with their crazy fashion. Like, I think that it's

1884
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: so entertaining to just like watch all sides of it.

1885
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 1: And I feel like if the NFL really capitalizes on

1886
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: it and college sports as a whole, it is just

1887
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,759
Speaker 1: so entertaining. I personally love college sports more than the NFL.

1888
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 2: I just love it.

1889
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: I think that there's more grit, more heart, and I

1890
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,640
Speaker 1: love the fan bases.

1891
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 2: How devoted oh it is.

1892
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 1: And maybe it's just because I'm the college demographic right now,

1893
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 1: but I.

1894
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 4: Feel like, no, but I think everybody a lot of

1895
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:27,639
Speaker 4: people feel that way.

1896
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel like maybe I connect with it

1897
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: more because like I went to the college and I'm

1898
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: watching the college play.

1899
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 2: It's like, if they win, I win. You know what

1900
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

1901
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: That's what I feel like college ball feels like. But

1902
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 1: I just love getting people included in it. And I

1903
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 1: feel like the NFL and college football as a whole

1904
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 1: has a great market to tap into with more lifestyle

1905
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 1: and making it more emotional and like more trinity and

1906
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: more fun. I think that it brings a lot more

1907
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 1: people involved.

1908
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 4: Well, I am so excited to see what you continue

1909
01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 4: to do after college and even just in this final

1910
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 4: semester of I'm sure you have so much fun stuff

1911
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 4: coming up.

1912
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm so excited.

1913
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 3: Let's do one final question.

1914
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 4: If you could go back and tell your eighteen year

1915
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 4: old self when you were just starting now at University

1916
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 4: of Alabama. One piece of advice, what would you tell her?

1917
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness, I would tell her two. That's a

1918
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: really good question. I would tell her to breathe and

1919
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: like be more confident in yourself. And I would tell

1920
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: her to stop being a perfectionist, because I really did

1921
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 1: have to learn that, and it was a lot of

1922
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 1: obstacles and hoops that I had to jump through to

1923
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 1: learn that. And it was just so funny because I

1924
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 1: knew that whenever I went to the University of Alabama,

1925
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 1: I was leaving my family, leaving everything that I grew

1926
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: up with behind. But I somehow knew in the bottom

1927
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 1: of my heart, I knew that like it was gonna

1928
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: work out. And I know that that sounds crazy. I

1929
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: knew that I would find a way to fit for

1930
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: my storty. I knew that God like had my back,

1931
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: and so I just like trusted it fully. But I

1932
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: would tell myself to show the other side earlier. And

1933
01:20:58,160 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: I would tell myself to stop being a tack on

1934
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: affectionists because it really did cribple me in a lot

1935
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,759
Speaker 1: of things, Like I would be so anxious all the time,

1936
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: and so I would tell myself to embrace cringe moore

1937
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: and to just really have fun and really embrace and

1938
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: say yes to everything. That is one thing that I'm

1939
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 1: really doing in my twenty twenty six mindset is that

1940
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: I want to I'm already so productive, but I just

1941
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 1: want to keep saying yes because I know a lot

1942
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: of the times you hear like in another life, we

1943
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 1: don't have another life. This is the only life we

1944
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,719
Speaker 1: have to live, so I want to embrace it fully.

1945
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:30,680
Speaker 1: And I also want to remind my eighteen year old

1946
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 1: self that, like I was, it was my first time

1947
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: living too. Like I love that saying because sometimes whenever

1948
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: I notice like, oh, like that person said this about me, well,

1949
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: this is their first time living too. You never know

1950
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 1: what people are going through. And to not be as

1951
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: hard as on myself as I was. I was really

1952
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 1: really hard on myself, and I ended up putting myself

1953
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,719
Speaker 1: into like a little hole where I could have been.

1954
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 2: More positive and drug myself out.

1955
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: So I'm just glad that I'm in a better mental

1956
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: capacity now than I was then. And I know it's

1957
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 1: like crazy to hear that because a lot of people

1958
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: had no idea I was really really good at hiding

1959
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 1: it online.

1960
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 4: But college is a journey and there's different eras and

1961
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 4: it's it's interesting to go back and look on them

1962
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 4: and say, you know, I wasn't my best self then,

1963
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 4: but it taught me so much and it's made me

1964
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:13,719
Speaker 4: the person that I am today.

1965
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just so funny because all the things

1966
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: that I thought mattered my freshman year of college did

1967
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: not matter whatsoever, Like they really had nothing in the

1968
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: grand scale effect of my life. And so yeah, to

1969
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: any girls that are going into college journey college girls,

1970
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: be easy on yourself, have fun, relax, but remember to

1971
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,839
Speaker 1: balance school in there as well. Don't go to party

1972
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,799
Speaker 1: because I did that a little bit my second semester.

1973
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: I was like, right up and yeah, it was a

1974
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: lot of fun though.

1975
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,360
