Speaker 3: I'm so excited to talk about the tournament. We're finally
Speaker 3: in March. We are in playoff time, so yeah, let's
Speaker 3: talk about this big East tournament that you guys won. Hey,
Speaker 3: but yeah, let's talk about the first game, because that
Speaker 3: was super exciting. You guys played Georgetown and as you know,
Speaker 3: your mom went to Georgetown, killed it out there and
Speaker 3: was honored as like one of the legends.
Speaker 1: What was that like?
Speaker 3: Hearing her like, hearing her name in the crowd and
Speaker 3: her being celebrated.
Speaker 1: In that moment, It was amazing. I'm really proud of her.
Speaker 1: She talks to me a little bit about her career,
Speaker 1: her time in college and whatnot, and to see her
Speaker 1: get recognized was well. I didn't get to actually watch,
Speaker 1: but to see all the videos, the pictures, just to
Speaker 1: see like the light be shined on her to see
Speaker 1: her get that recognition. I thought it was incredible, and
Speaker 1: especially for George shown to do it my last year
Speaker 1: so I could be a part of it. I think
Speaker 1: it was just amazing. So shout out Georgetown. But my
Speaker 1: mom is amazing and I'm so proud of her. That's
Speaker 1: really special. And yeah, shout out to miss Katie. Uh
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 3: It was beautiful to watch. I was so proud and
Speaker 3: I can imagine how proud you were. Did any of
Speaker 3: your teammates or your coaches say anything about your mom
Speaker 3: being honored?
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of them just said how cool that was,
Speaker 1: and some of them congratulated her to her face, and
Speaker 1: some of them just told me to pass the message along.
Speaker 1: But it was It's so cool. I mean, how many
Speaker 1: times you get to see like a player and their
Speaker 1: mom get to play and the mom gets to be recognized,
Speaker 1: Like that's so rare. So yeah, I'm so proud of
Speaker 1: her and I'm so lucky to be her kid. Ah,
Speaker 1: and now you're killing it.
Speaker 3: Was there any advice your mom gave you going into
Speaker 3: this tournament, because I mean, she's played at the highest level,
Speaker 3: so I feel like I mean, of course I get
Speaker 3: her pregame text.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to read them all to you.
Speaker 2: I'm scared.
Speaker 1: It's usually summed up to just being aggressive and enjoying
Speaker 1: myself out there.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, definitely looked like you were having fun. We
Speaker 3: were having a blast in the crowd. I yo, speaking
Speaker 3: of there's so much to say. I don't even know
Speaker 3: what to start, Like your family pop up. First of all,
Speaker 3: is your number one fan, hands down. I've experienced being
Speaker 3: around them, but I feel like playoff time Papa. I
Speaker 3: don't even think he sat down for like more than
Speaker 3: a minute to turn the game.
Speaker 1: He's insane.
Speaker 3: But the crowd was definitely tuned in. Did you see
Speaker 3: the fat heads out there? There was one of Tim, Katie,
Speaker 3: you Sarah.
Speaker 1: The fats were good, and the one of my mom.
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that one. That was my favorite.
Speaker 3: The crowd was definitely turned Ezy jerseys everywhere, Yukon jerseys everywhere.
Speaker 2: Your brother, bro, he was wearing a Katie wig.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was back. It looked better on Philip. I
Speaker 1: will say that wig did look better on Philip. I
Speaker 1: was I'm like, who is that and why? Why? Where
Speaker 1: did he get this? But I am a support of
Speaker 1: the Katie Wig.
Speaker 3: Honestly, if my hair wasn't in braids, I absolutely would
Speaker 3: have been rocking at Katiewig.
Speaker 2: Just just wait till I take these out.
Speaker 1: It's scared.
Speaker 3: So we got a couple of rounds coming up, so
Speaker 3: be prepared. I might have to bring it.
Speaker 1: Bring us the go Bob, the pink Bob.
Speaker 2: Listen, you gotta activate the bob.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you've now played in four Big East tournaments.
Speaker 2: Which one's your favorite?
Speaker 1: I mean, they all hold special memories, like my first
Speaker 1: one to your first championship in college, that one, That
Speaker 1: one's a lot of fun, and then I would say
Speaker 1: that one in this last one. Mm hmm. I think
Speaker 1: we're probably my favorites. Your first one and then this
Speaker 1: last one. Getting to win it with this group, and
Speaker 1: then I feel like usually there's only freshmen who haven't
Speaker 1: won something when you're at Yukon, and so you expect
Speaker 1: them to be excited and for it to be like
Speaker 1: a great moment for them it's their first one. And
Speaker 1: then this year it was different because you have we
Speaker 1: had Sarah who I think that was one of my
Speaker 1: favorite moments from the weekend was her being like I
Speaker 1: get a shirt and a hat, like let's go, this
Speaker 1: is their first time winning something, and I thought, just
Speaker 1: like being able to see that like real emotion from her,
Speaker 1: I thought that was special, Like you don't get to
Speaker 1: see that much and not that like winning gets old here,
Speaker 1: but this is my fifth Big East tournament, so like
Speaker 1: we're expected to win, and so yes, it's exciting, but
Speaker 1: it's also expected, so it kind of changes your your
Speaker 1: reaction to that. So to see that that the Sarah's reaction,
Speaker 1: I thought was amazing.
Speaker 3: That's beautiful. I love seeing y'all celebrate. It's deserved. You know,
Speaker 3: you guys have so far the perfect season, and what
Speaker 3: a great way to like cap it off.
Speaker 1: Right, you guys are now.
Speaker 3: Big East Champs, So congratulations to you and thank you
Speaker 3: five times Big East battye.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: It could be my Instagram crash whenever. I like that.
Speaker 3: Don't even start with whenever you post, because then they're
Speaker 3: gonna be charging me up in the comments.
Speaker 1: And who I tried to post yesterday but they didn't
Speaker 1: have pictures uploaded, so it's.
Speaker 3: Not my fault, all right, She'll try again in six months, okay,
Speaker 3: So Big East Champion perfect regular season. You're going into
Speaker 3: now the NCAA Tournament. Is there anything you're doing to
Speaker 3: keep you centered and ready as you guys continue to
Speaker 3: play in March.
Speaker 1: Well, I think at this time of the year, you've
Speaker 1: defined that balance. And this is something I've learned like
Speaker 1: throughout my time in college, because I definitely before was
Speaker 1: like work, work, work, and so like listening to your
Speaker 1: body and really like listening to what it needs. Some
Speaker 1: days it's more rest, some days it's getting a little
Speaker 1: bit of extra shots up. Some days it's like that
Speaker 1: individual workout before practice. But at this time of the year,
Speaker 1: like your body needs, like your body needs to be
Speaker 1: at the performing at its best. So we've had a
Speaker 1: couple off days this week, being able to actually take
Speaker 1: a physical and mental break a step away from the
Speaker 1: gym because you don't really get that mid season, So
Speaker 1: that was nice. But yeah, I think just making sure
Speaker 1: that like all the those little things your body, your mind,
Speaker 1: you're eating right, those are super important this month. All right,
Speaker 1: Basically just staying locked in is when I'm here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean That's what I've been doing all season, but
Speaker 1: extra it's working, it's working. Wait, I didn't even get
Speaker 1: to ask that was your first Big East tournament.
Speaker 2: Scared not? It was crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie one I know. If I ever
Speaker 3: come back, I'm just staying. The Mohegan Sun is huge.
Speaker 3: It is like a mega mall with a hotel and
Speaker 3: every story you could want. I was trying my best
Speaker 3: not to spend a bag in there, but listen, some
Speaker 3: of my favorite stories was up in there. And they
Speaker 3: had a cream big bag Yep, big back, big back,
Speaker 3: big bag.
Speaker 1: Big That was me. And I definitely ate Chris Krean
Speaker 1: every single day.
Speaker 3: I like the coach store, I like the I can't
Speaker 3: even say this, but the little like Chris.
Speaker 1: Yep that I've already bought everything in there, so.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you I And also there was just a
Speaker 3: bunch of different things that I've never like ex seen.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I had a good time exploring with your family. The
Speaker 3: vibes was lit. I do have to tell a story,
Speaker 3: please sure, So you know your family. They are lit,
Speaker 3: they are fun, they are crazy. So we decide to
Speaker 3: go to dinner. We had dinner almost every night there,
Speaker 3: and you know, me and Papa, we locked in Okay,
Speaker 3: so naturally I'm sitting I don't remember I think I
Speaker 3: was just chatting with maybe Tulula, which is Jose's girlfriend,
Speaker 3: and maybe Papa, I don't know. But they bring out
Speaker 3: a mechanical bull. So I'm like, you know, oh, look
Speaker 3: there's a bull. Let's write it. Ha haha, just jokes, right, No,
Speaker 3: next thing, you know it, Tulula's like, let's go, We're going.
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, no, oh, like no, like, we
Speaker 3: don't have to do this.
Speaker 1: I was like, let's go.
Speaker 2: We're doing it.
Speaker 3: We go over sign our lives away, paid a little
Speaker 3: ten dollars And when I say I was on that
Speaker 3: bull fighting for my life, it was me and Tululu
Speaker 3: who wrote it. It was crazy. My legs are sore
Speaker 3: like four days later. And he recorded it and posted
Speaker 3: it so much.
Speaker 2: Posted it girl video.
Speaker 1: Someone sent it to me, but I didn't know it's fun.
Speaker 3: He posted the video. I had people in the Mohican like, oh, hey,
Speaker 3: I saw you on Papa Story, Irish Papa story.
Speaker 1: You're riding the bull, and I was.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, it was yeah, you know what where were
Speaker 3: you when I needed to explain myself. Oh yeah, it
Speaker 3: was a good time, a little bit embarrassing on the story,
Speaker 3: but actually we're not embarrassing in twenty twenty six exactly.
Speaker 1: Bit I was impressed, got some one hand action. I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, not you really all the video? Please?
Speaker 3: I wish I could hide behind this microphone. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it was a good time, definitely enjoyable. Shout out to
Speaker 3: Megan Sign and your family.
Speaker 1: Experience. We'll do it again. Well, when are you gonna
Speaker 1: do it again? Come on next year? Mogan?
Speaker 2: That not a big East journey.
Speaker 3: Oh you know what might not be with the actually
Speaker 3: who knows, you know, the fans locked in with Yukon,
Speaker 3: so we may have to do this again.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, he said, I'm coming back next year. I said,
Speaker 1: you have fun with that you have, I will not
Speaker 1: be joining it again. I understand.
Speaker 3: So another thing I noticed I do want to hear
Speaker 3: more about. And I saw on social you got.
Speaker 1: To put the hat on Jonathan not Yes, Jonathan loved
Speaker 1: me because that picture from a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: it's so funny. Describe it the old. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: just won. Jonathan is ni kid. There's he's like sitting
Speaker 1: on a little stage with us, we're taking our picture.
Speaker 1: I tried to put my hat on him. He wasn't
Speaker 1: really wasn't really messing with it, so we kind of
Speaker 1: like gave each other a side eye. That picture is
Speaker 1: really funny, it's really cute, and so I tried again,
Speaker 1: this is a new Jonathan, this is puppy Jonathan. And
Speaker 1: he let me put the hat on him and he
Speaker 1: even looked at the camera for a picture.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 1: It was amazing. It was so cute.
Speaker 3: Seeing it from the side, I wasn't sure if he
Speaker 3: was gonna get the hat on. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 3: believe he was okay with it. Yes, And it was
Speaker 3: the cutest picture that it's now on like I think
Speaker 3: Socials right now.
Speaker 1: But it was so cute.
Speaker 2: I was like, look at them, iconic moment.
Speaker 1: We've come a long way. I mean, Jonathan's for sure. Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to pivot.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about your Marriotte National TV commercial.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was actually shocked and I saw I was like
Speaker 3: on Socials and I'm like, wait, what what is this?
Speaker 3: I thought somebody put it together because you know, people
Speaker 3: be making crazy videos.
Speaker 1: But it was so cute.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Yeah, I was really excited to do
Speaker 1: it just because, like I thought it was something special
Speaker 1: for me to do because well, as everyone knows, we
Speaker 1: travel a lot during the season. I travel a lot
Speaker 1: during the off season. I've traveled growing up so much
Speaker 1: with my family. We spent so much time in the
Speaker 1: road and hotels. So I thought it was yeah, really
Speaker 1: cool and really special that I got to do that
Speaker 1: with Marriott, and it just felt right. You know, they
Speaker 1: understand what travel and stuff means to my family, so
Speaker 1: that's perfect. So fun. Fact, something I learned on set
Speaker 1: is that it's actually pronounced Marriott, not Marriott. So I'd
Speaker 1: been saying that wrong my whole life, full thirty three
Speaker 1: years of saying that wrong.
Speaker 2: Me too, And I'm over here like, is it just
Speaker 2: a black thing?
Speaker 3: Because you know, we'd be changing words and added and
Speaker 3: all types of stuff.
Speaker 1: But it was marry it now.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie, but I had never heard yeah, never,
Speaker 3: never in my life. Okay, so I'm going to say
Speaker 3: it right. Moving forward, yep, putting everyone on Marriott. So
Speaker 3: what was it like though, shooting a commercial with Gino
Speaker 3: coach Geno?
Speaker 1: It was fun. I wasn't sure what it was going
Speaker 1: to be like, but it was a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: and especially with that group with Sarah and Kayley too,
Speaker 1: and the Marriot. I mean like people produce people filming.
Speaker 1: Producing the commercial made it like light and fun and
Speaker 1: easy too, because sometimes, like being on camera, it's easy
Speaker 1: to get like tense up and real awkward. But that
Speaker 1: was a really good group to you know, pretend and
Speaker 1: act with, even though it didn't even really feel like acting.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, like, you've.
Speaker 3: Been doing a lot more commercial, scripted things. What's the
Speaker 3: most difficult part of shooting like a scripted commercial.
Speaker 1: I think getting over that like awkwardness or shyness. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's just being in front of the camera. But sometimes
Speaker 1: especially like that, like being on a set with other people.
Speaker 1: You've got all these people watching you. You have to
Speaker 1: get over that little fear of like, oh whatever, what
Speaker 1: if I look silly? Like what if I look awkward?
Speaker 1: Like who cares? If you look bad? They'll have you
Speaker 1: reshoot or refilm it. But sometimes it's like the more
Speaker 1: like loose and like goofy, whatever you can be, it's
Speaker 1: the better it looks on camera.
Speaker 2: Well, it didn't look bad to me when I saw
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 3: It looked good to me, And honestly, I think you
Speaker 3: know us doing this, and also just in general, as
Speaker 3: time has gone on girl, you might you might need
Speaker 3: to think about acting.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's bucket list Like that's dream
Speaker 1: being in like a movie or a TV show that's
Speaker 1: dream Like, that's that's up there. That would be so cool.
Speaker 3: I would love to turn on my TV and be
Speaker 3: watching like one of my favorite shows that you just cameo.
Speaker 1: That would be crazy.
Speaker 2: I would literally probably screaming, like the.
Speaker 1: Outer Banks one with Armando. I would it was like
Speaker 1: just like it was so funny because I was like,
Speaker 1: what was the point of this? So I loved it.
Speaker 1: Like that would be so cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely would love So what show would you
Speaker 2: want to be on? Would you want to do? Like
Speaker 2: an Outer Banks?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: I feel like I watch a lot more like crime
Speaker 1: and scary stuff, but I don't want to be in that,
Speaker 1: Like I'd rather be in like a outer like a
Speaker 1: chill like you know, beach set, like something like cool,
Speaker 1: calm vibe, like some drama. But you know why, you
Speaker 1: don't want to be in a scary one because I
Speaker 1: don't know want to be scary. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be I don't want to be staring.
Speaker 2: As crazy here. I feel like it's so for actors.
Speaker 3: Even though we're like terrified watching like scary movies, I
Speaker 3: feel like actors are like nothing was scary about this,
Speaker 3: or like nothing was you know, funny because they have
Speaker 3: to repeat lines over and over, and that's true.
Speaker 2: I definitely would love to see that. So come on
Speaker 2: asy the.
Speaker 1: Actor manifest or manifest right now.
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, if you went and manifested that multi year
Speaker 3: deal with Jordan Brand, you could do anything. Okay, let's
Speaker 3: play a little game. It's called hotel this or that.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you two options. You're gonna choose which
Speaker 3: one you would prefer. Ready, m hmm, okay, room service
Speaker 3: or delivery. If I'm at a really fancy hotel, then
Speaker 3: room service. Come on, and if you're paying for it,
Speaker 3: then room service. But it's not not if I'm paying
Speaker 3: for it room service.
Speaker 2: I know that's right, because it isn't if it ain't
Speaker 2: on my dime.
Speaker 1: Run it out.
Speaker 3: Nah, okay, free breakfast or late check out.
Speaker 1: Free breakfast period. Wait, you have to answer.
Speaker 3: I would do room service too, by the way. For
Speaker 3: the last one, oh, breakfast, like a good.
Speaker 4: Breakfast like pancakes, waffles, eggs, everything, freezing ac or cozy
Speaker 4: warm room, freezing ac cozy warm room.
Speaker 1: What I can't stand. You don't like the little I
Speaker 1: get under the blankets in the summer. I ain't trying
Speaker 1: to do that. Like, yeah, you can get under the
Speaker 1: blankets in the summer, but when the room is cold,
Speaker 1: not when the room is hot. I think warm and
Speaker 1: cozy under the covers in your cold room.
Speaker 2: I feel like those can go hand in hand.
Speaker 3: We have a cold room as long as I'm my
Speaker 3: toes is covered.
Speaker 2: And I have a warm blanket and a hat.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right?
Speaker 3: Hotel robe or stealing the slippers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go robe because my feet are usually a
Speaker 1: little too big for the summers.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm part of the bigfoot committee, So yes, we're
Speaker 3: stealing a row.
Speaker 1: Mini bar snacks or store run. Uh, typically store run
Speaker 1: because those mini bar snacks like thirty dollars for minibag
Speaker 1: of pretzels.
Speaker 3: I'm an ingreience girl. Let's go to the store. Living
Speaker 3: out of your suitcase? Are actually unpacking?
Speaker 1: Oh? Out of the suitcase? Yep? Same? Come on, that
Speaker 1: means I'm traveling. Love that. Yeah.

Speaker 3: straight to bed or TikTok until two.
Speaker 1: Am straight to bed. I gotta stop doing that TikTok. Baby.
Speaker 1: I love when they have Netflix on the TV, so
Speaker 1: when I can turn that on, that would be cool.
Speaker 1: That would be cool.
Speaker 3: And then it starts, you know, watching me as I'm
Speaker 3: knocked out, one king bed or two foals, one king bed.
Speaker 3: Let's cuddle period. All right, that is all for hotel
