North Carolina beat Duke and then that 173 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: meant Duke didn't get a share of the conference title. 174 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: And then some said just before the state I mean, 175 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: the conference matchups are crazy. And I know sometimes you'll 176 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: text me and you'll be like, Heyley, are you watching 177 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: this game? I'm like, no, man, like I'm in class whatever, 178 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: But you're on it? 179 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: Do you want it? 180 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: Like? What is it? Like? 181 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 4: Why? 182 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: I feel like you're always on it? So what draws 183 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: you to these games? How do you how do you 184 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: keep track of everything going on? What is it? 185 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: I just love watching women's basketball, Like it's just it's 186 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: just fun to just watch. And then it's also just 187 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,239 Speaker 3: cool to watch it because a lot of these players 188 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: you have relationships with. If that's from you know, when 189 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: you guys are younger playing, is that from Team USA playing? 190 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: You guys just built a great rapport. 191 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: So when I was watching Indiana like Iowa, it was like, Oh, 192 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: there's Grace Berger and that's somebody you went to Puerto 193 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 3: Rico with with Team USA. So there's always a connection 194 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 3: with one of these teams, right, That's what's like really 195 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: fun about it. Every single team. If you go to 196 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: NC State, you know somebody. So you go to ACC 197 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: You're like, you're talking about Duke, that's Les Taylor. That's 198 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: one of your teammates from USA basketball. So it's like 199 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 3: that USA basketball that became like a family. 200 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: Like when you travel to Belaruse Lafia. 201 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: You bond. 202 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: You bond, yeah, because there's nothing else to do, so 203 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 3: we all became very tight. 204 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun to watch. 205 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's interesting because I talk about it with 206 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: other people on the pod or just my friends about 207 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: how we became such good friends, and so when I 208 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: watched them and this and that, I'm like, I have connections, 209 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: Like I'm looking for their games, this and that. But 210 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: you also created connections not only with the parents, but 211 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: like with the kids as well. Talk them out to 212 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: the game. Now you're rooting for them. So it's so 213 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: cool to hear that, Like, now you keep track of 214 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: everybody just as I do, but instead of talking to 215 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: them out the game, you'll text their parent and be like, 216 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, she played so well this and that. 217 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: Like it's so cool to see a separate network of 218 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: camaraderie across women's college basketball outside of just the players. 219 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. 220 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: Example, when you played Tennessee, it's kind of crazy. First 221 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 3: time we went and played at Tennessee and we beat them, 222 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 3: I went over to see Malika and to give her 223 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: a hug. Here's all these Tennessee boals just staring at us, 224 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: like why are you coming over here to this section, 225 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: And she's like, it's all right, that's my girl. Like 226 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: we like, we cool, yeah, And we're all taking like 227 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: photo op and doing pictures. 228 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: When the game is over. 229 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 3: The game is over, and there's just that mutual respect 230 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 3: and that's what I love about the sport and how 231 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 3: you guys carry yourself. 232 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: No, one hundred percent. I mean we talked a little 233 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: bit about SEC bringing them into play. But you know, 234 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: we've kind of had this debate on the pod talking 235 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: about the best conference, as you will know, so I 236 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: think we've got to ask you. Hopefully you will pad 237 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: the stats, but from watching these past four years and 238 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: knowing the landscape, yeah, what's the best conference? 239 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 2: PAT twelve? 240 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: Right, there's no there's no debate. That's what I've been 241 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: trying to say. But I haven't told you my reasoning. 242 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: So what what's your reasoning for the PAC twelve? Mom? 243 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: First off, PAC twelve, I believe what do we have 244 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: six teams that were ranked in like the like the 245 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 3: top twenty five TELLA two years ago you had two 246 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: PAC twelve teams and the national Championship game yup, yup 247 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: missed them off. You know you got you had Arizona 248 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 3: and you have Stanford. Right now, you're predicting to number 249 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 3: one seeds of two PAC twelve teams. 250 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: Uh huh? 251 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 3: Sisa is with Utah that everybody is sleeping on everyone 252 00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: everybody They are hard out the soft on that team. 253 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: They don't and you're throwing pee league. You got that leadership. 254 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: It's that they're tough. 255 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: They are tough, they are clicking. That's a that's a 256 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 3: great coach right there. She got them rocking. Last year 257 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 3: when we played at Utah, I swear there was under 258 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: five hundred people. This year when we played at Utah, 259 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 3: there was over eight thousand people. Yeah, it was the 260 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: loudest gym period I've ever played in period. 261 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: You think that was the loudest gym, Louder than Colombia 262 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: last year? 263 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: Colombia Gonzaga. 264 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: Gonzaga was loud. 265 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: Gonzaga was loud, but loud. 266 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 3: It was like it was loud because it was like 267 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: this was their first time there. Yeah, so it was 268 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 3: like this different intensity that they had. 269 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: And I mean they definitely were. 270 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: The six, seven to eight man out there just you know, 271 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: rooting for their team, and it helped them. 272 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 2: It helped them. But Pac twelve is tough, tough. 273 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in complete agreement with you, no, not 274 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: no other debates here. We are on the same team. 275 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 276 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: But taking it back a little bit, you were a 277 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: coach growing up and then you ended up being my 278 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: coach and As I mentioned earlier, as I introduced, you 279 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: were the toughest coach I have ever had, and what 280 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: for you were the best and worst parts of being 281 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: my coach. 282 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 3: I think the best thing about being your coach was 283 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 3: just being able to spend time with you. 284 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: M h That was probably the best thing. 285 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: Because that driving time, listening to music, getting to laugh 286 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 3: on our way to practice, the way to the game afterwards. 287 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 3: A lot of times you probably didn't want to get 288 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: a ride home with me. Yeah, but that would probably 289 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 3: be some of the best times. Just getting to bond 290 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: with you. That's something that it's just beyond special. I 291 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: think some of the worst times would be when you 292 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 3: were a coach's kid. There's always coaches, most coaches who 293 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 3: coaches their. 294 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: Kids, you're going to be harder on your kids. 295 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: You have very different expectations because you want people to 296 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 3: know that you earned it. Nothing was ever given to you, 297 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: and I probably went to an extreme on that point 298 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: to make sure that you were not treated with any 299 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 3: type of favoritism whatsoever. I probably I was okay, Haley Jumps. 300 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: Probably I was probably the hardest to you on that team. 301 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: That was just what my expectations were. 302 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: Also for you. 303 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 3: So the hardest thing was watching you be upset when 304 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 3: I'm being hard on you. But I hope you know 305 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: that I always love you, continue to love you, and 306 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 3: always wanted the best for you. But it was always 307 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: trying to do that fine line of being coach and mom. 308 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: I think you would always kind of say to your 309 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 3: friends who would want to play for me? You'd always say, look, 310 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: you're used to my mom at home, who stuff for 311 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 3: you guys, who have fun. She's a completely different person 312 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 3: on the court. Do you guys really want to do this? 313 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: No, I mean, I definitely agree. I would say that 314 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: the best times that we had, like you being my coach, 315 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: some of the best parts were just getting to spend 316 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: time together, do road trips together, you coach all of 317 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: me and my best friends, so just hanging out, having 318 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: team sleepovers, whatnot, having that time with you. But you're right, 319 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: like it was tough, especially being as young as I 320 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: was and being not probably least favorite.

However, 542 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 8: right now, I think they really sleeping on the SEC 543 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 8: because I think that there's more teams that's in the SEC. 544 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 4: That should be right.

They be tearing her up. She 549 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 8: can't get a call. A lot of times. I feel 550 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 8: like it's the SEC is just different. It's like that 551 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 8: get down and thirty. Most of it is just being 552 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 8: very physical to me. That that's my opinion because that's 553 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 8: what I mostly watch. 554 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: So you know, you guys are all my elders here. 555 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: I respect all of your opinions and I take them 556 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: all the hard you know.

But my husband heard it first 736 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 6: and he and and someone made a comment. I don't 737 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 6: know if I'm allowed to say it on the on 738 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 6: the podcast, but he was playing and someone took the 739 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 6: wrong and said they're nothing but thugs. 740 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 8: And now wait a. 741 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 4: Minute, wait a minute. 742 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 6: This was and my husband told her wrong and said, 743 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 6: you're calling these kids thugs. You're calling them thugs. And 744 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 6: and I said, well you just leave him, just just 745 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 6: ignore him. And he's like, yes, they're nothing but thugs, 746 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 6: and and and so my husband went back and forth 747 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 6: with them for a minute, saying, you're calling them thugs, 748 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 6: and and I said, honey, just leave that. Leave it. 749 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 6: It was like on the clockwalk of me telling him 750 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 6: leave it. It had a big move that happened. They 751 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 6: doubled a lie and she did this big move and 752 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 6: and scored. And I turned around and I said, that 753 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 6: one is mine. And it's not like I was noted 754 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 6: that my Chinda is a thug. But it doesn't matter 755 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 6: if you say or her teammates. You don't control their destiny. 756 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 6: And honestly, when I hear stuff like that, and I 757 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,439 Speaker 6: pray about it, and I'm not just saying those words, 758 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 6: I really do. It's because I tell Eleah all the time, 759 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 6: you can't control what other people say. 760 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 4: Or think about you. Only thing you can control is you. 761 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 4: And when you alter the way you think and the 762 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 4: way you. 763 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 6: Behave based on what someone else says to you, then 764 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 6: you now give the only thing you can control over 765 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 6: to them to control it. And I have those conversations 766 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 6: with her even as a college athlete, because when she 767 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 6: leaves this arena and goes to the professional arena, you're 768 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 6: going to meet the same thing or something worse. At time, 769 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 6: it's not saying everything is going to be the same thing, 770 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 6: but we teach them, and it's not to stupid under 771 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 6: the rug or to ignore it. You acknowledge it and 772 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 6: you can respond, but you don't have to responding the 773 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 6: way they're responding, right, And you're now giving someone else's 774 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 6: control over something that you wouldn't have done or you 775 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 6: would have done differently. So I would just watched my 776 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 6: husband say, honey, you know, I just leave it, just 777 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,280 Speaker 6: leave them alone. But I really couldn't resist. 778 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: Man. 779 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 6: When it was a clock, when she did that movie, 780 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 6: I said that one is mine. 781 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, and this was recent, really recent. 782 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 9: I was heard and yeah, I hear people say things 783 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 9: around me, except for last week. 784 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 8: I was the first time actually in person and they 785 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 8: were sitting behind me. I can't even remember what she said, 786 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 8: but I corrected her. I do like I turned around. 787 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 8: I think she said she needs to do. So I said, well, 788 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 8: what do you expect her to do? And I turned 789 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,760 Speaker 8: around and looked right in her face and she looked 790 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 8: at me. Because my thing is you can have your 791 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 8: own opinion, and I give that to everyone, especially on 792 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,280 Speaker 8: social media. Not once a year I have to check 793 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 8: somebody and then I just be like, okay, just get 794 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 8: off of there and don't even pay attention to what 795 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 8: people have to say. Once a year. I think that's 796 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 8: good for me once a year because I'm like, if 797 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 8: you have something to say, say it to my face, 798 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 8: or if you can't, then keep it to yourself or 799 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 8: tell a friend, phone a friend. Love that, but yeah, 800 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 8: I try to keep cool, but I usually haven't really 801 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 8: had that many encounters in person. I'm sure they're talking now, 802 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 8: I know it, but don't say it to my face. 803 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 7: I don't hear too much, especially past high school, so 804 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 7: you know, I don't hear it directly. You know, if 805 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 7: anything is saying wait for me, so you know, I 806 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 7: don't get to put my boxing gloves on her anything. 807 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 7: But you know, I do remember one year, it may 808 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,919 Speaker 7: have been her junior year in college, where I can 809 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 7: tell when when when she really starts to play and 810 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 7: take over a game. Somebody has said something disrespectful to her, 811 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 7: to one of her teammates or to her coat. And 812 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 7: we were at Alabama and some guy was sitting like 813 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 7: on the floor, I mean, like just heckling her like 814 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 7: she was a grown man, and like, this is the 815 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 7: game that she hit, like, you know, forty six points, 816 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 7: you know, but every time she shoot it and take 817 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 7: a step back to where she's like right in front 818 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 7: of his face and just look at him.
