Welcome back, slices, Happy Monday. 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.520 Here's what you need to know today. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:38.320 To volleyball. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.160 The final four is set Louisville, Pitt, Nebraska, and Penn State. 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.879 We'll meet next weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. Here's how they 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.280 got there. First, up, the hometown team Louisville, the number 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.640 one seeded Cardinals punch their ticket with the three set 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.720 to one win over nine time NCAA champ and second 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.360 seed Stanford. On Saturday, Louisville will meet fellow number one 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.959 seed and acc rival Pitt in the semi finals. This 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.280 will mark the third straight year Louisville and Pitt have 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.560 met in the Ncaattorney. Last year pitt defeated Louisville in 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.319 the Elite eight the year before. Louisville got the w 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.920 in the semifinals. Number one Nebraska also headed back to 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.040 the Final four after. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.800 They swept Wisconsin on Sunday. 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.680 Penn State earned the final spot with a win over Creighton, 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.400 meaning all four top seeded teams qualified for the Final four. 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.320 Final four gets underway on Thursday with back to back 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.360 semi finals at seven and nine thirty pm Eastern on ESPN. 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.040 National Championship game will be played on Sunday at three 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.920 pm Eastern on ABC. Have you been checking your brackets? 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.760 Producer Alex was in first at one point in the 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.600 good game of Sara Spain Group and I was looking 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.959 real rough, but I'm surging back, So check your brackets 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:45.720 see where you are. 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.680 There will be some trash talking that will take place. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.160 To college hoops, Tennessee smashed a wild record on Saturday. 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.600 The Lady Vols recorded thirty three pointers in their one 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.120 hundred and thirty nine to fifty nine win over North 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.440 Carolina Central. Yes, you've heard that correctly, one hundred and 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.920 thirty nine to fifty nine. That is an eighty point margin. Now, 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.600 not only is thirty, the NCAA record for most three 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.040 pointers in a game. It's also never been done in 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:15.079 the WNBA or NBA either. Samara Spencer led the way, 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.480 hitting nine threes, with eight of her teammates also recording 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.639 at least one three. Also in college hoops, we got 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.920 to tip our caps to the twenty fifth ranked Georgia 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.560 Tech team, who pulled off an eighty two seventy six 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.960 upset over number fourteen North Carolina on Sunday in Chapel Hill. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.360 The wind brings the Yellow Jackets record to eleven and 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.359 oh good for the best start in school history. Head 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.800 coach Nel Fortner squad is one of nine unbeaten Division 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:45.280 One teams left across the country. So y'all might remember 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.120 last week's conversation about co ed adult sports leagues and 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.200 the etiquette code that we made with Josh Bart and 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.720 Klaan Conahan. While certified slice, Amanda Vaalo had a few 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.600 more suggestions. She emailed in and wrote in part, you 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:57.960 guys are doing a great job. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.600 I'm a huge podhead. 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.760 Podhead is what she said, and you've definitely made a 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.440 top spot in my listens. Here are my suggestions if 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.480 anyone is caught man splaining, they are assessed a foul. 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.320 If repeated, this can be upgraded to a flagrant and 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.360 the player can be asked to leave arena or playing 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.880 field immediately. Any jokester with a joke about playing shirts 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.360 versus skins must take a lap. If getting owned by 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.760 a badass woman, don't be lame in fake and injury. 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.480 Thanks again for making my world and the world in 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:26.680 general a better place. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:27.920 Thanks Amanda. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.079 I was on date like number four with a guy 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.640 once and we were playing one on one basketball at 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.760 the gym and he full on one thousand percent absolutely 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.840 guaranteed faked and angle injury because I was whooping that 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.920 ass not attractive. We also had some friends on social 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.520 that chimed in with their additions to the etiquette code. 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.880 Dave on Blue Sky at DPS nine to five to 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.000 two said, if it's not a piece of advice you 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.480 would give to a male teammate on the bench between shifts, 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.560 slash plays, slash whatever, don't give it to your female 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:58.320 teammates unless they ask, I would add Doug Dennis on 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.520 Blue Sky set, if a girl kicks your ass, don't 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:01.440 be a whiss about it. 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.120 Buy her a beverage of her choice. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.080 Love that addition, after somebody suggested to remember it's just 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.320 a game, Jamie Bartlett on Blue Sky added, my version 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.360 of this is you're not getting a scholarship today, Calm down, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.320 or there are no scouts out here. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.960 It works for all genders, big and small. I like 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:18.320 that one. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.560 Finally, at that kraz On Blue Sky said, having seen 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.520 it happen, don't take it personally if you're guarded or 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.400 matched up with the player of the opposite gender. That 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.560 is so true, especially because you have no idea what 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.800 that person did before they got to you. They might 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.480 be a d one superstar and you're throwing a fit 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.360 about it and you're about to get cooked by the way. 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.599 So thanks for all the thoughts on that. That was 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.880 fun to make with them. It made me miss being 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.600 able to play all that stuff. So if you are 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.760 still capable, if your body is still functioning enough, free 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.080 to play code adult sports, have fun with it, enjoy it. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.240 I miss it all right. We're gonna take a quick 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:57.920 break when we come back. The Peals, the Grove Senior slices. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.720 We're still working on her Navy Hall, still working on this, 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.680 and we're going to figure it out today, along with 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:14.800 a bunch of other stuff coming up next stick around. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:12.320 Welcome Back Slices. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.120 I'm gonna let you behind the scenes for a minute 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.000 here and tell you that Alex, Mesh and I have 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.680 been all over the globe and back and we have 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.040 not really been together much at all for like a month, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.040 I want to say, because it was like Spain and 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.960 Alex and I were there, and then it was Kansas 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.600 City and Mesh and I were there, and then. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.040 Alex went to freaking Machu Pichu. I'm so jealous. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.840 And then I went to Mirror Ball in Arizona, which 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:37.680 was a delight. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:39.560 And now we're all back. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.200 Together before we break again for Christmas and New Year's 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:43.880 and everything. So we wanted to take this opportunity to 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.640 catch up on a bunch of stuff, sports and otherwise. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.840 And the first thing is, well, really quick, Alex, can 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.480 you give us a highlight from Machu Pichu? 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.480 Because that is like top of my list right now. 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.960 It's actually second's second on my list of where I 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:56.800 want to go in the world. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.440 And it just looked magical from your Insta. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.200 I loved it. I did the Inca trail. My highlight 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.880 was for sure. You wake up early the fourth morning, 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.240 you walk almost in the dark, and then you get 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.359 to the sun gate, which is the first place that 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.839 you can see Machu Pichu from and it's just this beautiful, 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:15.720 beautiful view. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.360 So it was stunning. Highly recommend. 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:20.720 Okay, I feel like there was also like a babyl 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.719 packet involved, which I was also jealous about. 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.800 Yes, so my hotel hired a babyl paka and I 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.360 guess the baby al pack is caretaker to come to 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.240 the hotel every morning to meet and greet. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.960 Her name was ben Cheetah. She's eight months old. 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.120 She rides to work in a taxi and she was 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.680 lovely and soft and wore a very cute costume. And 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.040 then a few hours after that, I was outside on 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.520 the streets of Cusco with my friend Kate, and I 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.320 am somebody I have traveled a lot. I know that 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.920 when you get approached at the airport by a rando 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.359 offering you a free or cheap taxi, you say no, 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.359 like I know all the things. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:59.200 But across the street. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.160 From me, I see a woman carrying an even smaller 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.880 baby alpaca and I just light up when I see it, 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.479 and she sees my face and she b lines over 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.160 to me, and before I know it, she hands me 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.640 the baby alpaca and it's like, let me take a 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.040 photo with you and the baby alpaca, and I was like, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.200 of course, that's what I want. And then as soon 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:20.920 as she does, she's like, give me money, please, and 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:21.600 I'm like, of. 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:26.600 Course, Yeah, she ain't raising that artpacka for free, Alex. 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:28.200 No she's not. 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:29.400 No, she's not. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.840 And I had not had a Taurus mistake like that 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:32.800 in a very long time. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.840 But super cute alpaka photo. Zero regrets. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.600 I'm gonna say worth it. I'm gonna say worth it 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.400 on that one. Okay. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.120 So the other thing I wanted to actually ask you 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.600 about was over the weekend, you did an art show, 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.800 and I don't think we've talked on this show at 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.360 all about your art. So unless people have gone diving 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.160 into your Instagram, which we don't normally list, they might 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.880 not know that you are a very talented and prolific artist. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.120 So what did you sell? What was on the table? 0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:58.960 How'd you do? 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:00.920 Okay, Well, I'm going to back up for one second, 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.040 because this art show was at the Winnemore Center at 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.800 the University of New Hampshire, and this is a building 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.720 I grew up going to, and from the age of 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.760 four until I went to college, I went to almost 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.560 every single unh men's hockey game. Do not worry, I 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.480 talked to my parents all the time about how they 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:20.360 should have brought me to. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.240 More women's hockey games. Yep, got it covered. 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:27.280 But up until probably like the age of six or seven, 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.720 I did not watch the hockey games. I had my 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.240 back to the ice and I did arts and crafts 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.080 the entire game, and one of my parents was always 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.320 on the lookout for flying puck to make sure that 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:38.559 it wasn't going to bunk me in the. 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:39.120 Back of the head. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.440 Eventually I started watching the hockey, but it was very, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.800 very cool to be back in this same space, to 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.240 essentially be able to see my old seat from down 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.320 on the ice where I was selling my goods. It 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.599 was a super fun show. I make pressed flower lampshades. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.959 That's my favorite thing to make. I grew all the 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.240 flowers in my garden and then I pressed them and 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.400 I apply them to lamp shade. And as somebody who 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.000 desperately waits for spring every year, they always bring me 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.200 some real nice joy and light in the thing in 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.440 the dark winter months. 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:10.319 I love that. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.680 I do love that like full circle moment of your 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.800 sitting in front of your table where the ice would 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.520 be and selling the arts and crafts that you grew 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.960 up starting to learn how to make like in the seats. 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:21.760 That's really cool. 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.480 I personally love the image of little Alex with their 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.320 back turn to the to the accident. It feels on rare, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.199 but it also feels adorable. So that's yeah, that's awesome. 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.400 And I just need you guys to know. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.400 A few months ago, I was also at UNH because 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.480 they hosted the women's Frozen four and I was determined, 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.559 I really want to learn how to knit, because knitting 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.439 is the one craft that you can do and watch 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.880 sports at the same time and like not have your 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.840 attention taken away from it. And so I was like 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.400 in between periods trying to teach myself how to knit, 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.920 but didn't go too well, so we're still working on 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:55.480 that one. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.880 Alex is trying to combine her two loves at once. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.680 It's not enough to do them separately. They need to 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.240 be done simultaneously. Also, Alex, if you ever write a 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:07.440 book about becoming like a famous sports analyst slash artist. 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.880 You've got the perfect little early metaphor of the day 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.480 you finally turned around toward the ice and embrace. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:20.239 That you could love both crafts and sport. I love that. Well, congrats, 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:20.960 super fun. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.840 I'm very jealous every time I have the tiniest opportunity 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.280 to do a craft or get back into art, it 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.160 is so calming and meditative, and I just don't do 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:30.600 it enough. 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.240 So whenever I see your posts, I'm. 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.240 Like, Oh, Alex is out there mixing paints and doing 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:39.720 cool shit and I'm not doing that at all. Speaking 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.360 of cool shit, meche, I loved your Insta post about 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:46.120 watching progress in action. You're posting some of your work 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.480 from the Rising Media Stars group that you were a 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.440 part of, and we mentioned it a while back, but 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.720 remind everyone what it is and some of the stuff 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.520 that you've sort of learned over the last couple of months. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:59.040 Yeah, I love talking about RMS now. So basically, it 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.920 is a nonprofit started by la China Robinson, a world 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:08.920 class broadcaster. She broadcasted the Olympics like women's basketball for 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.400 all of my life. She's amazing. But a nonprofit basically 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.439 set up to help early career broadcasters looking to get 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.840 into those kind of careers network and learn and connect 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.240 with the people in her network. So a couple of 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.680 weeks ago, we went back down to Atlanta for the 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.160 second time for like a two day intensive kind of vibe, 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.800 and the first day was covering the Atlanta Falcons versus 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.720 the Chargers game, which was nuts. That was my first 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.920 time ever doing football. I know football, but you know, 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.000 as a spectator, and so it was challenging in that way. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.600 We had to do six different on camera hits, so 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.520 basically for folks who were not into broadcasts, like thirty 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.920 to forty five second, many stories about an aspect of 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.719 the game or the players, and she threw some surprises 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.040 in there. We had to do the press conference with 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.480 head coach Rohie Morris and Kirk Cousins who threw four 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.440 interceptions or in that game if you were watching it rough. 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.320 So that was the first day, and then the second 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.320 day we had about six hours of classroom sessions with 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:11.960 everybody from Ros gold On, Woude, Tarico Foster, brasby Amina Hussein, 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.920 who's the head of US Sports at Prime Video. Their 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.800 talent department which is insane to have that kind of connection. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.720 And then we went to the Hawks game. The Hawks 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.440 played the New Orleans Pelicans, got to meet Swin Cash, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.120 which everybody else nobody knew why I was so excited. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.920 We all learned about her beforehand because the China gave 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.559 us an assignment, but as someone who grew up watching her, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.200 it's stuff like that, Connections like that that this program 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.400 has been able to make for me and for other 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.959 folks and just super exciting. One of the hardest things 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.719 I've ever done, for sure, because I'm My aspirations are 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.719 in play by play and color commentary. So I got 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.280 the headset on and you can't see me for the 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.640 most part, but you know, doing stand ups, being in 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.400 front of the camera, getting used to doing that kind 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.600 of stuff. It's the challenge I wanted it to be 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.240 before I applied. So good. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.000 Yeah, you guys don't follow me on Instagram. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.520 They post the most adorable little clips and photos of 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.920 them doing the play by play. And I have promised 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.480 to turn you into a meme and I just haven't 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.800 had time. The aforementioned travels have gotten the way of 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.240 me turning you into a meme. But it's going to 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.120 happen meme worthy content, Yeah, for sure, and you and 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.040 I answer you and I had some good like bonding 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:22.319 conversations about doing hard stuff and microdosing failure and learning 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.680 how to get into stuff that scares you. So I 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.319 love that you're doing it, and I love that you're 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.760 getting so much out of it. So shouts still a 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.880 China Robinson. She's such a badass and it's helping out. 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.400 The next generation is just so cool. 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.480 Speaking of the next generation, that's the next topic I 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.280 wanted to get into. And you, the three of us 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.199 all like made the migration to Blue Sky around the 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.040 same time, and it was interesting that I still occasionally 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.400 will post on both Twitter and blue Sky, both because 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.600 there are still people that haven't made the move that 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.000 I want to get to, and also like for social 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.480 questions and stuff. I still have so many more followers 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.079 there that I got a lot more back sometimes over 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.360 there than Blue Sky. But this was something I posted 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.760 about this next generation of superstars, and the difference between 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.920 the feedback I got on Blue Sky about what I 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.640 wrote and what I got on Twitter was night and 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.560 day and very illustrative of like what's going on in 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:13.400 those sites right now. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.120 But I posted sort of. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.200 I had been posting about the Notre Dame Yukon game 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.560 as it was going on, and posting about Hanna Hidalgo 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.840 cooking because she was going off, and also that she's 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.840 very entertaining. She did just about every different kind of 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.440 three celebration you can. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.280 Across the course of that game. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.520 She was super hyped, she was getting the crowd into it, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.600 like she is definitely both a playmaker and an entertainer. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.080 At the end of the game, I just wrote and 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.400 I said nice things about her play throughout. At the 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:44.960 end of the game, I said kind of just kind 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:50.400 of mad at Hannah Hidalgo for having problematic opinions and beliefs, 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.800 because I just want to enjoy watching her play so 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.280 bad and it kind of gets in the way. And 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.240 for those who don't remember from previous shows, Hannah reposted 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.960 Candice Owens on in saying that gay marriage is a sin. 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.800 She's also had some other posts allegedly from her father 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.640 who's a pastor, saying similar things. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.480 And it's especially. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.880 Complicated and fraught in women's college basketball, where a high 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.000 percentage of players are queer, and the women's sports space 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.720 where fans and players and people who she will be 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.640 working with and playing with and against will probably have 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.000 thoughts on her opinions about their life and their love. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.000 And that was not to say I hate Hanna Hidalgo, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:28.920 and it was not to say she can't grow and evolve, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.520 and it was not to say that a nineteen year 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.960 old is a finished product. It was just to say 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.920 it gets in the way, like when she's being real swaggy. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.400 Instead of my usual feeling for extremely swaggy women players, 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:43.000 where I'm like, yes, I love this, it's tinged with 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.440 like damn it, yeah, Like I don't know if I 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.920 want swaggy from someone with those beliefs about people and 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.600 their love and who they are and their identities. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.320 It makes me sad instead of wanting to root her on. 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.840 And it's complicated and a lot of people could separate 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.840 those and everybody on Twitter wanted to tell me how 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.080 fucked up and stupid I am forgiven a shit and 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:04.800 I'm terrible and you're an old lady and she doesn't 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.200 give a fuck about you, and I'm like great, cool, 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.240 And then on Blue Sky, it was almost entirely people 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.760 who were like, totally get it, it's really hard, or 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.440 like I'm a queer woman and I'm trying to watch 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.560 and enjoy and it's really difficult for me to feel 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.520 like that and blah blah blah. So I wanted to 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.440 ask y'all how you deal with that, because I've always 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:24.520 been my main thing is obviously people will be able 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.960 to separate or not. But like, let's say I'm listening 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.440 to music from somebody who is no longer with us 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.800 and they were proven later to be problematic, I'm not 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.760 going to go out and buy it. If it's on 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.320 I might still enjoy it, and if it's extreme, like 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.360 r Kelly, I don't even enjoy it anymore because I 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.280 can't not think about it. Right. If it's an athlete 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:43.960 and they're part of a team, I might still try 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.120 to root for the team and not the athlete in particular, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.880 because it's a larger thing. And if it's an individual, 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.800 it is difficult for me to root for them in 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.720 the moment that they're playing, because then I'm actively rooting 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:55.920 for them while knowing. 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.720 That that's who were what they are. 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.600 It feels different for me than like some musician that 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.640 died fifty years ago and you find out that they 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.320 were trash and I've always liked their music. I'm like, oh, 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.840 that sucks. I don't know, and I'm not making equivo. 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.120 I'm not equivocating to get myself off the hook. That's 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:12.919 just my natural sort of like gut. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.360 Niche. How do you handle it? 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:20.359 It's so extremely tough, and you already kind of mentioned 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.359 the caveat that means the most to me, which is 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.760 Hannah Hidalgoes nineteen twenty. And I know from personal experience, right, 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.800 because I believe it or not, Folks, there was a 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.240 point in time where everybody in the world thought I 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.040 was straight and baby that closet was glass, you know 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.080 what I mean. Not to say that, not to say 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.120 that it's the same situation for Hannah, because I don't 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:40.680 know her life or nothing like that. I just say 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.520 that to say that was a product of the things 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.480 that I had heard and taken in and it took 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.040 me a long time to sort through that and make 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.080 truth out of that. And so I say that to say, 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:57.040 like Hannah hopefully has wnba aspirasus, I feel like that's 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.560 the track. Where's it's safe enough to say we're looking 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.160 at a league of players who are in gay marriages, 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.480 who are getting proposed and hope to be in gay 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.040 marriages and a very fraught time in our country's history 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.919 in terms of you know, queer rights and things. So 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.040 my hope is that she's gonna move on to have 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:20.680 conversations with people around her that changed kind of her worldview, right, 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.960
