• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But what is your experience? So you brought up being
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: feeling like you have to be feminine? I feel like
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the WNBA. This is a hard pippot, but I feel
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: like the WNBA has really had a feminine moments as
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of lates and as a woman who I think like
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you appreciates having a variety of different, you know, attributes,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: like you don't want to be considered one thing, which
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I think is is a struggle for a lot of women.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not just an athlete. I'm not just feminine. I'm
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: not just a mother. I'm not just a daughter. I'm
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: not just any of these things. I feel like the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: feminine moment for the WNBA has been has been.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I've enjoyed it. Yeah. Have you felt like a pressure now,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Well no.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Because I've I've always been like that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So when I first got into the league, I like
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: kind of had an issue with that with like being.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Too feminine, being a little too girly.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Like someone told me recently, I had posted on my
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: story my storm jerseys on my kitchen counter and I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was like year eight, Like I can't believe I made
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: eight survived eight seasons, Like I never thought I would
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: make it eight seasons.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And someone DMed me and was like, yeah, I remember you.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Know when I worked with one of your earlier teams,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Like one of the coaches was like, she's never gonna
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: last in this league because she rolls her shorts.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: We don't do that in the w NBA. That's not
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: what we do here. Yeah, like roll your shorts, yeah,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: as shorts. I was too short.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I rolled my shorts because the shorts that we had
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: at Duke were disgusting and they looked they made you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: look like SpongeBob. It doesn't matter what your body looked like,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you look like SpongeBob. And even when I rolled them,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I still looked ridiculous. They looked bad, but it was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like a comfort thing. So like that was the energy
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I had, Like, so.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Your coach is felt or your coach this coach felt
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that you were actually too feminine for the NBA.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is like I have built a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: pretty good relationship with this said coach, not knowing like
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that's how they felt about me.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: So I think it's funny, like.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I take it with a grand of sock because
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, is he lying? Is he like telling the truth?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: He just wanted me to respond to his d right.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: People.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Just I feel like every time anybody puts anything on
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: internet night times out of the time, like it's a lie.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I got a fact checked everything, so I was like,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I mean that checks out, like that tracks. But I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't like, oh my god, I can't believe, Like if
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I ever see this coach, I'm gonna press them about
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it and it's never gonna happen. But this new like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: feminine acceptance. I mean I feel like internally it's been there,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: like there's been like feminine women's basketball players for the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: last twenty plus years of the NBA has been around.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: So now that everyone is kind of like uplifting it,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: empowering it, like it is cool to see.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Is there any pushback in the league on it?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Not really like that, Like the floodgates are open as
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: far as people being their authentic cells, like whether that's feminine,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: more masculine, gay, straight, like whatever. It's kind of like
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: everybody is able to just be who they are.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Like finally on their terms.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And I feel like the WNBA, I just said, it
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: has like been gatekeeping a lot of the personalities in
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the league for whatever reason, and I think we're seeing
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it now with like even our CBA negotiations and our popularity.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It's because people have been so drawn into the personalities
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: all throughout the league.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: And I feel like the w BAY was always because
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: it was. I didn't just feel that way.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of other players I have like
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: felt the same way, like w Like they didn't accept
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: me for who I am and whatever that looked like.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And now everybody kind of is able to be themselves
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and I love that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: What was your reaction to the situation with the commissioner, Oh,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: with Fee Yeah, well my initial reaction was, oh, shit, Fi,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: because I played with Fie and Minnesota and she's like
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a very like even keeled person. For her to like,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, even reading it was very even kill, very professionally.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: She crely read her for philth lift her. He was
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: like to make sure I don't syllable of.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Every word this message is for you, come off, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: But didn't surprise you, not that not that he did it,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: because I think that was ever being said.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, I feel like there
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: has been a major disconnect between the commissioner.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: And the players for a long time.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And I and then if you have a star like
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: feet coming out and saying you know that, like that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it's really an issue. So I'm glad she did it,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and we all supported her in it. We didn't know
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: she was going to do that. That was like, yeah,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I loved it. It's like again, if you get fee
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that mad and whatever, like you you fucked up.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's fucked up, as was certainly. I mean,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I won't say I was surprised. I was surprised that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: he did it. I wasn't surprised of what she was saying.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And the main reason is because, and we've talked about
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: this before, I just feel like the league has this
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: is having this moment, and well, in a lot of
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: ways they have leaned in, it's still like they're right
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: on the edge.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: It's still like they still it feels like they still.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Have these like claws in the old way of doing
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: things that is keeping the league from really taking off.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: And the CBA obviously is a part of this as well,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and all leagues have CBA negotiations and many times other
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: leagues have had, you know, had stoppages because of the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: CBA negotiations, So it's it's not like this is a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: unheard of But how do you and the players feel
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: about where you guys.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Are with it right now?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I think we're in a better spot than we were
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, a few months ago, but we
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: are still a very long way away from where we
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: want to be. I think the biggest thing is that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: revenue sharing, which now I feel like people are starting
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to find understand what exactly that means. Is Like, we're
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: not trying to get paid like the NBA guys. We're
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: not trying to get paid fifty million dollars a year.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: We're trying to get paid more a bigger percentage of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the money that we're generating. And they're just like no,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Like we want you to stay right here where you've
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: always been, and we want you to accept that, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: we're just like no, like, we're not gonna do that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And if we are gonna find a happy medium, like
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you guys, they have to tell us why, Like why
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: are you guys not doing this? Why are you not
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: being transparent about the financials? Why are you not being transparent?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: About the ownership groups, like it's just a very it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of run around, and I'm not in those big,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: big meetings, but I'm in like the group CBA meetings,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and you know, every meeting there's more and more players
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: coming on. And I was in the league for the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: last CBA and it was not like this. I mean
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that CBA was monumental for us at the time, but
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: we knew that. That's why you put an opt out clause,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: because you know, you bet on yourselves we're gonna grow.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: But like we weren't expected like this much growth as
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: fast as it happened, and it's been amazing to be
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a part of it. But like as players, we've had
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a responsibility to continue to put out a good product
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: for all these new eyes. And now the league needs
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to step it up, even in fee statements. She was
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: talking about the officiating that needs like everything needs to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: rise to the occasion. I feel like we have been
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: really the only things that I've just rose with the moment,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and now everything else has to follow.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like every time over the
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: years that any any conversation has come up about women
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: getting better or equal pay, like nothing is like chumming
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the water on the internet to these motherfuckers like.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Women making money.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Dog, you're not paying the w NBA players, You not
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: let You're not making one penny less in your life?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Right every time?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Every time, every time it's a dollar amount. WNBA we
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: got it's like we got fucking eyeballs, entrepreneurs, we got
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: finance people. I said, where do y'all work? Where's your business?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: What business are you running?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: What are we talking about? Shut the fuck up like
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I used to get into it all the time because
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: of the the US women's national team.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when they were going through that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I mean I feel like that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I mean I think I think people look at like
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that women's tournament as like a big turning moment. I
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: think that, yeah was the first, Like that was a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg of what were women's sports is now?
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Is what the women's national team did?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: They definitely got got things kickstarted. Yeah, but even then
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it was like.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: But that men, shut the fuck up.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: To your point, also, though you you don't run not
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: nana business. You don't have you don't have a if
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: you have a bookkeeper, if you have payroll, you know
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: what I mean? If you have a board of directors
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: right for your business, and then you maybe we can
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: have the conversation.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: But if you have all probably on clocking in, shut bitch,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: ass up.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: You don't know nothing about a fucking CBA, you don't
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: know nothing about revenue splits, and you're not paying these
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: fucking bills.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: It's it's actually crazy how upset it gets people.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: And the same thing.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I was like, I forgot what I was on some
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: random and then people Sometimes I just post bullshit just
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to get people to argue.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: People are like writing comment. I'm like, I'm not reading that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I don't care if it's positive. I'm not reading that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: What are you doing? I'm sorry or congrats, but I'm
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: not reading not reading all that. I'm sorry, and but
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not reading that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I'm frustrated on your behalf and on the lady's behalf
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: because it's gone.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I will say the conversation has improved from where it
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: was when I first gott into the league as far
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: as paying us more, paying women athletes more, the conversation
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: has improved slightly. So I will give some good people
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: out there their credit, and they're due for turning the conversation.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Well, what do you think NIL has done for it,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: because I think NIL has greatly helped the conversation as well,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: because women's college basketball, at least for me, over the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: past I don't know, I say maybe ten years has
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: been a to me as superior product then the men's
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: men's college basketball. The tournament is more interesting and the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: stories and stars have really cut through, And obviously Kaitlyn
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Clark is a great example of that, Kaitlyn Clark Angel
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Reese Flage, like, we can go down the list of
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: stars that have broken through juju in college and it's
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: now translating into the league. But I think the fact
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: that we know what those women are making in college
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: has also helped the conversation for the WNBA because these
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: knuckle draggers who are like, you know, you don't deserve
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: to make this in the WNBA, but we can see
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: what companies are paying you as student athletes to play
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: in the NCAA. It's that also makes the conversation week now.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: The ratings obviously are what everyone points to. And again
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I can't emphasize this enough. You don't know what the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: fuck you're talking about, Like, you don't know what the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: fuck you're talking about. Anytime people would bring ratings up
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: to me, I'm like, just shut the fuck up.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: You don't.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: We've networks pay people, put thousands and thousands and thousands
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: of dollars to break down ratings, and they still don't
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: know why people don't watch on this particular day or
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: this changes or whatever you have. You have elections and
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: influencing if there's if there's a natural aster that influences things,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: if it's the holidays, there's a million fucking reasons why
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: ratings go the way that they go. You don't know
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: what the fuck you're talking about, but I do think
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: nil helps.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: But it was funny when and I'll started that salary
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and endorsements was whooping people's ass, oh oh oh oh,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and you are oh.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Like, how to stop responding and breaking it down to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: people because I'm like, you guys just don't want to understand.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: The endorsements will follow the girls that is off court.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna leave college and lose money. They might
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: lose well, now they might lose a little bit because
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: now the university is able to play these players. So
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: now that conversation is different, but that's still.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Not their salary. Correct, They're not employees.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: They're still student athletes for now, so even that was
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: like killing people. But again, it's like a very small
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: percentage of college athletes that are making that much money. Yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: my sister and brother. My sister just graduated college. My
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: brother's in college right now, and they're like, they don't
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: make no money. So it's like still a very one
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: percent system. But it's still amazing and it's helped us
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: so much. I think NIL has ruined college sports. I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: love it for the players, the athletes, but the stories
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I hear. You know, I have friends in coaching, My
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: dad works in college athletics right now, my brother is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: dealing with the transferring nonsense. You know, you bring in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: six older guys like from whoever the fuck they were at,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and they're older, they're bigger, they're stronger, they're going to play.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I hate it for like the high school I mean,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: it's just like been a trickle down effect because they
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: kind of just were like, here, do what y'all want
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to do with this ail, And they're trying to regulate
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: it now and it's too late, and I think it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: hurting college sports. But when you look at you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you talk about the stories and women's college sports is
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: better than the men's I like think about like the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: guys who were playing in college, like when I was
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: in college, like Trey Young, Jason Tatum, like those types
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: of NBA players were in college at the same time
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: as us. We don't really have that anymore in men's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: college Like these guys are coming from overseas, or they're
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: going pro early, or they're going to like the overtime,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: they're going different routes, So the women don't also have
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that to compete with on the men's side, and the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: men's side is just a mess. But I think that
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you said it hit around the head, like the fans
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: follow these players throughout their careers because we have to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: stay in college, and I think their fandom has just
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: come over to the WNBA, and I think for the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: first time, we're finally figuring out how to retain their
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: fans in the w And I think that's something that
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: we've always had a problem with, but I feel like
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: now we're starting to figure it out.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: So you mentioned your father.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Your father had a very significant basketball career. Do you
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: feel like you had to work extra hard to get
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: out from under his shadow? Do you feel like it
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: helped you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: You know, It's funny, like because I'm a girl, there
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't really like a basketball shadow. It was like a
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: privileged net bo baby shadow that I had to like
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: shift away from, like.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: You just have this cause like your dad.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But it was a very different conversation than like, say
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what my brother's dealing with right now?
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Like it nine times out of ten.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It really had nothing to do with basketball because when
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I was younger, I wasn't very good, but I worked
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: very hard and then eventually I got better and better
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and better, So there wasn't really avenues for people to
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: attack my work ethic and my game. So then it
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: just turned into oh, she's a spoiled bra, she's a princess,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: she's privileged's this, she's that. So that has kind of
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: been the thing that I've had to work against the most,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and basically like not talking about like how I was
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: raised and the home I grew up in and how
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I was just raising so much love and support and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: experience all these things when I was a kid. Because
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I'm tough and I know how to I have a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: chip on my shoulder and I work hard and I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: want this really bad and I love basketball, so all
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that kind of how to get put to the side,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: even to the point where my parents don't even come
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: around that much, like all like they were at home games,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: but like they be in the stands in the cut
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: like they don't like being on My mom hates the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: cameraush and like be on TV. They come to my
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: w games when they can, but like I have three
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: younger siblings, so it's they kind of like have taken
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a major back seat in my professional life.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Which sometimes I'm like, why y'all doing that.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like seeing everybody else's parents at like every game
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: court side, yelling at the refs, like get into it
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: with fans, and then I'm just like, well, I would
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: actually not like if my parents did that either, but
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I would love them to like be there.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: But it's like us finding that that happy medium.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: And I think.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: They've been so supportive from like a distance, like and
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I'm so appreciative of them, but.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Like the fact that they felt they felt that.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: They needed to kind of hands off of it because
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: of the stigma that comes with coming from an NBA
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: family NBA dad household him being my coach growing up,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: so when I got to a certain level, he was like.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, babe, baby girl, you got it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: I taught you well, good luck. I think that is
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: a poison in our community.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I think it's fucking ridiculous. White people do not deal
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: with that.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: They don't, they do not. They do not.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: If you got at a successful white daddy and you're
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: successful and your mother is there and you've got a big,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: happy family, it's just a great thing and you're a
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: great kid, and blah blah blah, you have to explain
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: that you had a loving home.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Do you know how fucking stupid that is?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's sad because the only place in my
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: life that I have experienced that is basketball.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Everywhere else it's like not really a thing.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to say it's an issue because
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I'm still here, I'm still playing. I've found major success
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: on and off the court. But like when my w
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: season starts, like I always get into this this space
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: where I'm like, Okay, six months, let's go like what
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: what bullshit is gonna come my way this season? And honestly,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: every year it's been something. So I've been able to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: just power through and just find my pockets of happiness
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: where I can, but always being able to lean on
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: in my family has been so this has been everything,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: so helpful.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: What's the biggest misconception about the w NBA.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: That we all hate each other, like all the players
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: like no, we I mean, do you like everyone that
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: you work with? No?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: No, But do you hate them no? Well not here
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: we're competitive.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: No. But it's like again, it's work, like this is
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: our job. So I feel like because there are certain
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: athletes and that's across the board that really like pour
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: their like their whole personality is the fact that they
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: play this sport and it's like it's my life, it's
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: everything that And that was kind of like what the
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: type of WNBA player I thought I was going to be.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And then I got cut in the off season with
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: no conversation at all. After my third year, after the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: bubble season, I got waved like out of nowhere. Didn't
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: hear from the coach, no coaches, front office, nothing. My
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: agent told me that I was getting waved two weeks
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: before training camp was about to start. So that kind
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: of forced me to kind of just remove like, Okay,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: this is not who you are. Like you play basket
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you play in the WNBA, you work your ass off.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: You clock in, you clock out. That's what you do
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: because you love it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: But that moment completely like change my outlook of how
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I approached basketball, and now.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: I like approach a lot of my teammates.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Like, first of all, I've been on so many teams,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I know so many players, like I've It's a blessing
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and a curse obviously, because why.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Would you want to be on so many teams and
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: around Like.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It's so hard to navigate that, But I've been so
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: grateful to be able to meet so many of them,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: get to know so many of them in different ways.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And yeah, not everybody likes each other, but like we
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: don't hate each other. But like there's a lot of
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: love in the W from the Vets to the two
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: young ones. So like I feel like the last two
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: years that's been like a crazy misconception, but now I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: feel like with unrivaled, with athletes ulimited now that were
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: more visible in the off season, people are seeing like
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: there's like real love and relationships and friendships that are
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: in the W.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Is it is it difficult when teammates are in relationships?
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Does that cause.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I could so from my personal experience it No, it
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: has not been a problem. Like I feel like when
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I was in Chicago, Courney Vanishlut and Ali Quigley were
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: married and a lot of people thought they were like
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: siblings that didn't know because they're like both little white
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: girls with blonde hair. So like even people would like
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: reach out to me and be like, oh my god,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: like those sisters on the team, I'm like, no, they're married,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: but but like that's like they just like conducted themselves
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: in a professional way. So like, I don't have anything
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: negative to say about having teammates that are in relationships
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: with each other. Like I don't, like, I don't understand
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: it personally because like there's a lot of people why
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: would you want to date this person that you see
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: all the time, But you know, things happen that way.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I don't judge it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I just you know, deal with it because you have,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: like there's no choice, you have to deal with it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: But my personal experiences have been fine with having teammates
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: have a relationship.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Is it hard to date as a as a an athlete?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean you have a pretty not unpredictable life,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: but like you travel a lot in that regard, Yeah,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: you might not necessarily be in the same city for
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: half the year.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and my schedule is like pretty like set in
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: stone as far as like I can't just like drop
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: everything right and leave. But it's like funny, like being
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: an athlete, it's like you go from like just regiment, regiment, regiment,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and then you have the off season, but that's still
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: like a very short amount of time and then you're
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: back on your your schedule.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: And for me, I'm very type A like even traveling.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Like I say, I love to travel, but I cannot
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: be gone for too long because I have to work out.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: You stay somewhere, right, but I always vacation pic I'm
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: like to be and there is a gym.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: That's why I don't do Airbnb's on trips.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I need a gym everywhere I go. So that was
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: when I want to bring my gym closed.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: But I don't be at the gym.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: No. I was in Mexico with my friends in January,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and I got up every morning and worked out because
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I had Athletes Unlimited coming up and they're like, you're
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a psychopath, Like, why we're in vacation, why are you
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: working out? I was like, cause I have to go
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to work in a few weeks. I'm hanging out with y'all,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: but I gotta go to work.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: In a few weeks, so I have to make sure
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I stay in shape.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's hard just being so unpredictable and just
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: being I'm very set in my routine.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: I can't get knocked off it very often.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, is it true that some of the women trick.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I'm a retired trick myself, so it's no judgment.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know anything about that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I don't we keep a brail around here.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: You've never flown anyone out?
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Uh no, no, no, no, no.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: No, we don't do that. I don't do that. Why
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: would I do that?
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Have you done that?
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Yes? Absolutely? Of course of course. Did that work out?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Was it like a lovely like? What? What is the
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: what is the dynamic of that?
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it depends on the intention of the situation, right,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: you know, But like you know.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: If you sometimes like you're a big mama.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Big mama though. I don't mind being big mama though, okay, period,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I want to be a big mama too. Sometimes.

  Speaker 2: ex husband through this younger man that she's fucking and
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: he fucked it up and so she killed him.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: But the way she did it, she told him to
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: get in the bag. And he just climbed in the
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: fucking bag.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: It was like like big plastic, big, like a body bag.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: What do you think is gonna happen in this bag?
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: And he was no resistance, no no fighting, he was
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: just like a document like this messes up. I'm getting
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: in the bag. That was the craziest scene in the
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: whole show. I couldn't get over to either. I was like,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: what the fuck you got the crate and getting in
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: the bag.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: But there was those big old guys there to make
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: making sure he got in the back.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: You gotta fight, he must going to matter what.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: So he might as well just went peacefully because they
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: probably would have made it bad for him if he
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: tried to run away get in the back.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Her character was h hilarious.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's funny. She's funny. It's it's not it's not
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: completely off face. Yeah, it's not. It's not completely off face.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I even kind of have her haircut.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: You do kind of Yeah, Now you just need Yeah,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: it's some great I just.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Need lots of money. And the young men are already there.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: How old are you thirty one?
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Thirty one? Yeah?
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: So you you you're you're not in the window yet,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of like the y ns being like bad for you?
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: What window? What age does that happen?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I think probably thirty.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's like an official start to being
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: like the Cougar. I don't think we're using Cougar. We're
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: using Auntie now Auntie.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I felt like when I was just in Nashville with
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: some of our younger players in AU.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that was the first time I ever
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: felt oldest. Shit. Like we were talking.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: About MySpace, Facebook, our top five and they were just like,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: what are y'all talking about?
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: And I was like, oh my god, it's here. No,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: it's happened. It happens quick, happening. It happens.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: In one conversation was earlier, I was like, I'm the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm a little baby, a little teenage thirty
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: one year old.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: You are a little baby.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: I get treated I mean, I get treated like one.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, no, you're a grown woman. But I'm saying that,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: but like thirty thirty one is young, and.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I lean into it. Yeah the baby face. You do
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: have a baby face.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: And it's good though, Like I think, my whole life
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I have always is looked forward. I have always like
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: wanted to be older. That was because of having a
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: tough childhood. So I just like so much look looked
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: forward to like being old enough to have control of
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: my life. But then being aspirational, I'm like, Okay, I
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: need to get older. I can do this, and then
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I need to work on this, and then there's there's
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I have to get to this step so I think
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I'm very comfortable with my age, but I've always like
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: been feeling or looking to being older as opposed like
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: like thinking about being young.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like you like missed out on any
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: type of experiences because you felt that way.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I think I missed out on I think it wasn't
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: up to me, Like I think when I was a child,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I wasn't able to be innocent, but that was sort
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: of taken away from me.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: So those years I feel like I.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Missed out on, like the the princess years, those never
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: really existed for me. But I'm I'm very like present
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: in every year. That's why when people like lie about
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: their age and like why why Also, so the goal
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: is to get older, right Like the goal in life
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: is to continue living, which means you are.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Older life is worth living, right.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: So so yes, like I'm very proud to be thirty eight,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Like that means I've had thirty.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Eight good years on this planet. If the planet continues
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: to exist in the state in which it is, then
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I'm happy to be here. If we get to the apocalypse,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be here anymore. Are you in
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: an apocalypse survivor absolutely not immediately immediately.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I don't want to survive one second of the apocalypse
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: like Target, if you're up there the beam, I want
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the beam to hit me like I want this. Remember
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: in Independence Say, where the girl has the sign that's
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: me like welcome home, like again.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: And that's why I don't even like watching those movies either,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, why, okay, you guys survive all of this.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: There's nothing left.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Your nails done, your hair's done, you have lashes, lip glass,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: you're in acute fit. We're sitting in a nice, air
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: conditioned studio. I want no parts, no parts.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Of I don't like.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even like glamping like no, No, I
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: don't want to look for supplies.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I don't want to look for supplies.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to fight for a can of beans.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: No, I got to open with one of those rusty
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: knive things.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I don't want to wrap a wound with. I don't
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: want to rip my clothes like oh teeth.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: No, I don't want to do any of those things.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Don't want to dirt. Just the thought of not even
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: able to shower?
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: What about periods? Like what do we I think about that?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: You know when I think about that, like in medieval times,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Like that crosses my mind. Like when I'm going through
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: like a moment of like being a woman, I'm like,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: what the fuck did they do three hundred four hundred
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: years ago?
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I think they just bled.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Inaccurate, But I feel like, oh, just bleeding on everything.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I know, I think they like sat
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: and bled or maybe if they like the thing right
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: pre bleeding. Guys, we don't. We don't have to invent
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: ways to struggle. We don't. We don't need to do that.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: We don't need to come up with ways to suffer.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Now, if I could like stay in my bed for
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the entirety of my cycle and no one would judge
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: me for that, I.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't be Do you have bad periods?
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Just a pain in the ass. Yeah.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I to be an athlete. They don't give a you
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: need to play today. I don't care what your stomach
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: feels like. I don't know what's going on. That's my
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: biggest fear, bleeding through. We're trying to ban the white
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: jerseys just for that reason.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like my biggest Who came up with that?
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Well, they look so good, like they like.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Because you're not thinking about that when you're out playing.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: You don't want to be thinking about it when you start.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Like if like if you start your period on the
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: day of a game and you've got the white jerseys
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: hanging in your locker, you're like, you got to tell
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: your team guys be period, Like look out for me.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Like that's a conversation we.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Have in the locker room, and like there's something you
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: don't think about as a man, like you are Am
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I going to bleed through my my white jersey shorts?
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: No, they're worried about charting.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: That's my biggest fear. And then if I ever have
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: like a wig losing it?
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Do you play in a wig? Sometimes I would be
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: that would be terrified to do that. I mean, it
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: hasn't happened. But also I sew it.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: In so glue depending on the style I like to
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: switch up. I mean there's a lot of girls in
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the league who play with wigs. Yeah, so they've only fallen.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I've only seen a handful of times that's happened.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know the girls know what to do it.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: We got your sis.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: So you've talked about having crumbs. Is that something that
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: is also difficult to play with?
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: How are you managing that.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: At first it was now I don't have any issues,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: God willing, Like there's flare ups. Those happened, but I
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: haven't had one in a long time. But so this
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: will be like my third year and at the top
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: of the year, it'll be like my third year dealing
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: with it being diagnosed. So the first two years were
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: like really hard one when I was getting the symptoms,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: like just not knowing what it was, so I was
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: trying to just play.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: Through the symptoms, not knowing what was going on.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: So that was May June.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't get the diagnosed in still it's January, and
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: then I didn't get to start my medication till the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: end of January, and then I had to switch medications
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: because the one I was using was hurting something else
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: in my insights that wasn't supposed to be getting affected
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: by it.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: So then that's why.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: So the v I missed was when I was getting
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the symptoms, and then the second year I was dealing
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: with it, I had to miss because my doctors were like,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: you need to chill the fuck out while we figure
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: out like what medication we can give you. And now
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I'm on a great medication everything's good.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: I feel great, but it's been a journey.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: And then that's why I addressed it in my exit
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: meeting this year that I was healthy, because I just
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't getting any minutes this summer and people thought I
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: was still dealing with a lot of like crones related stuff,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: so I had to like clear that up.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: So do you feel like teams judge you for that,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: for having crones?
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Honestly, even when I got traded, the conversation was so brief.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: It was literally fifty five seconds on the phone with
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: my general manager telling me that I got traded to
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the Storm.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: And like, no, there was no.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't really have nothing to say to her because
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: if I did, it would have just been bad. And
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I was on the way to a game in Nashville,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: so like that's.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: The call I got.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I was pulling out of the parking garage on my
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: way to the game, and that's when.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: She told me.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Don't know what was said in the transactional period about
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: my health, about my play or whatever, like nothing. Again,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: like throughout my entire career, I just feel like I've
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: been left in the dark about a lot of things
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: that have been said. So I just have to show
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: up as best as I can and just show them
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: like the type of worker I am, the type of
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: teammate I am, the type of player I am. But
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I do think there may have been things mentioned in
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the process of me going from La to Seattle about like, oh,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: it's be careful, be careful about her and her crones,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: like she might be like a health liability or whatever,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: which was unfair because this is not something that anybody
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: really knows anything about, but me, like, it's not there's
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: not a test for it.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: I keep go to the training room and.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Be like, oh, this hurts right now, can you help me?
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Like can you give them a timeline? Like there's none
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: of that. It's like you just have to believe how
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I feel that day, and like just believe that I'm
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: not having a good day. And that's kind of been
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: like a struggle, especially just being an athlete.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I know athletes that have had different
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: types of ailments who do not want to disclose it
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: because then you get labeled as that, and even if
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: you're dealing with some other kind of medical issue, everything
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: kind of gets gets relayed back to that and you
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: become a liability teams.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just frustrating.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: And then I see it with like even with players
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: who deal with injuries, like oh, this person can't stay healthy,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: like no one tries to be hurt, Like I think
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: that's such such a weird.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: But do you think so being you don't think there's
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: anything to being injury prone?
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: No, I think you're definitely like injury prone. But like.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: You they like take that, but then they like, then.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Now you're lazy. Now you don't take care of your body.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Like sometimes your body just does what it wants. But
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean like you're a lazy person. That doesn't
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: mean you don't eat right, that doesn't mean you don't
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: stay on top of your rehab. Like that's the conversations
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: that I don't like. But yeah, like if someone is
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: hurt all the time, like yes, they're gonna call you
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: injury prone, gonna call you sharman or whatever they're gonna
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: call you.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: But when they started.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Attacking like how you approach the game and how your
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: day to day is and your work ethic, then that's
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: where I'm like, Okay, like you guys are tracking it?
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Are there certain have there been certain players who I
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: don't want to say deserve that, but are not taking
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: care of their body. And that's that is playing a
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: role because in the media space we often use those
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: terms like not necessarily lazy, because if somebody.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know if someone's lazy or not like that,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like and that has to be a.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Review from multiple teams, from other from other teammates, like
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: not lazy, lazy is such a like wow, you are.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Crazy as an athlete, Like why are you an athlete?
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: So I don't think people just randomly call people lazy,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: like I will say, like my team now in Seattle
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: is probably like.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Top to bottom, like one of the hardest working group of.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Teammates I've ever had.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: But again, we have a whole practice facility. So and again,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: like that's another layer to the WNBA. Some some teams
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: don't even have a place to call their own and
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: they can't go get shots up when they want, they
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: can't go lift when they want, Like we're all grown.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Like it's not like college where everyone has to do
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: everything at this time.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Like yeah, you don't.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: If you're not an early morning person, you do not
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: like you don't have to come in and do your
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: lift early as fuck you can do it later. But
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: because we have a facility like you can do that,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: some people won't go to the gym downstairs in the apartments,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: or they won't go to a local gym and do
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: their own thing because some players need that, like coach
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: to be like, Okay, you have lifted this time, you
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: have this at that time. Like me, I'm not that
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: type of player. I'm gonna get my work done when
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like it because I just love to work out,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do it on my own time. But
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: if you don't have a facility like and then you're
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: not a morning person. But the only time you can
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: lift is seven to eight am because then the adult
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Zoomba class is coming in.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: So practice on the ground.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: But you can't fault them for that, Like I'm not
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not rolling with that.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about the new fans?
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: You know offline? They're great.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Once I took I took myself off Twitter, which was
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: a big deal for me because I used to love Twitter.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Now Twitter used to be so good, so fun, and
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: now it's threads. It's horrible. Threads is cool, Threads is
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: the move.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Threads, Threads, Threads vibe yes and I hope that people
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: don't ruin it, because that's how Twitter started.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: It was it was a vibe.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Well, Twitter had had a pretty cataclysmic thing that yeah,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: elon about it and then.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: It so it used to be a fun place, but
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: it then it just turned into like a really mean
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: place in a weird place. And I used to like
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: to go back and forth with people because it was like, haha,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: shits and gigs funny. But then you know that meme
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: of that guy like yelling at the brick wall, Like
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: that's how I felt on Twitter because I'm like, who,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I don't even know, Like now I'm arguing with an
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: egg right, Like it's a bad. It's a bad It's
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: a random person that maybe doesn't even truly feel this way.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: They just want some engagement, because that's all it's about
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: nowadays is engagement. So once I remove myself from that platform,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I loved I love our new fans, and he has
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: people say what they want about me, like she don't play,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: she don't I'm like, okay, if that's the worst thing
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: y'all can say about me, I'm okay with that. Like
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I've not had any negative interactions with anybody off the court.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Our fans in every city I've played in have been amazing.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm like, the Internet is not a real place.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: It's a place for people to gather and tuck shit
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: and do whatever they want. But life offline, like the
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: new fans are been amazing.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I mean that's how it always is. Like it's people
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: ask me about it all the time. Dealing with people online.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people are awful to you. I want to punch everybody.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah they're horrible. They're horrible, but they're only horrible online.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Only online people in.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Person and are so nice, they're so cool, they're the best.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's really online, and it's because there's a
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: complete lack of accountability. I'm not gonna lie, y'all better
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: hope and pray to whoever it is that you claim
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: you worship that I don't come out of retirement because
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: if I do, it's gonna be hot in the streets
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: for y'all, because the way I be wanting to tag
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: these people's wives.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: But it's like it's low hanging fruit that takes the
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: fun out of it because.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: It's so easy to fry all. You'll be so ugly.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: If I sometimes every once in a while, all screenshot
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: somebody in such.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Before you decided to talk shit about they lifted a
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: donut like several?
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Did you read a book? Did you pray?
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Look like the people?
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: You know when you see somebody and they got that
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: little plaque on their teeth, y'all be ugly as fuck?
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Talking means yeah, but I don't just you better hope
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I stay retired.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: But again, even you've mentioned like I want to tag
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: like people's wives whatever. But I'm just like, if I
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: ever caught my significant other talking shit on the internet, unimaginable.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Now get out, unimagine you're embarrassing.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine a whole wife and kids and family
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: and you're talking.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: You're talking shit to a woman on the internet about
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: her body.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: About anything. Get out of here.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I above her eyelashes, about her birthday make up.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Let me start about how they talk about Oh why
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: do you leave guys?
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Not wear your natural hair and stop wearing the wit
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: shut the shut.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Up because we want to if I don't.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Even really like dealing with men that have social media,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: so I will tolerate like a low level active social.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Media yeah, or a bit like he needs it for
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: his business or some something.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, someone else got to run it. But if you are,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: if I like, there's two things I could never imagine.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: If I'll walk in on you and you're just if
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: you are.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: If my man is in the comments arguing with a
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: woman about what she looks like, or talking shit about
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: to a woman about what she looks like.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: I don't like.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: There's some things that I know immediately send me to jail,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: so God keeps me from them.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: That's one I just can't wrap my mind around it.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: If if I find out that my man is trying
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: to cheat on me and is failing, Joey.
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: We are a lot of like you know, I think
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: about that too.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: What if your man why to cheat on you?
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Like you don't catch him like, no, I'm cool. You
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: don't catch him cheating on you. You catch him bothering women?
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: Hey, what's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Get out? Goodbye? Get you, get the fuck out? What
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: do you What do you mean? You're talking to yourself,
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: but you could just be talking to me. You'd rather
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: talk to yourself talking to yourself? You're bothering it. The
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: only thing worse.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Than a woman having the woman's a woman conversation with
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: you is a woman coming to you and telling you
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: to get your man to lead.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: What's worse you finding out that he has like a
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: page and it's like him and he's doing all this,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: or he has like a fake page and he's doing it.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: It's tough. It's tough.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: I think the fake page because that's very very intentional.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Like you, maybe you just got caught up in your
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Both both are fireable offenses. But if at least with
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: your own page, like maybe you just got caught up
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: in something and like you know what I mean, you
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: just fell victims to the algorithm.
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: But if you would.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: That is an excuse And I'm not going for it
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: because you make your you make your algorithm what it is.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: People will be like, whole know where this because I
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: don't know how I found this page.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: I built my algorithm. Okay wait, I want to know
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: what do you are you on TikTok?
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so I feel like TikTok has the best algorithm.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I just be on there laughing. I love my TikTok algorithm.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: What is your explore page on Instagram?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: What is it there?
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: But I'm sure it's all women. I'm sure it's all bitches.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Like I'm sure it's all scantily clad women.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: I'm sure.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, because are just no, because I'll be looking at
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: like beauty stuff and then like I always like all
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: the girlies. So yeah, it's probably that and some conspiracy
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: theory shit about space, and definitely something about like patriarchy
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: or like people not having children.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: And I really used to think that it was written.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: It's not random like right now. Oh no, it is
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: so so manufactured.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: I know because I will like something and then the
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: next three things are immediately.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: About those topics.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I just started cooking recently. Clap for me, everybody clapp
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: for Lexi?
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Thank you? What are we making?
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: Place?
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Got an air fryer and that has made life so
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: much easier for me. I don't like to cook.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Now, Lexi, I have to start somewhere, Okay, but we
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: are going to acknowledge that that I don't like as
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: an airfire girl in myself.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know that we are.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Gonna You know, it's hard to cook for just one person.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: It's hard to grocery shop for just one.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: They're gonna cook.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: They're gonna cook you. A second you started cooking in youring.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: I love the air fire and I got on the
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: air fire during COVID like everybody else, and.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: I got on it three weeks ago.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: It's very it's very hard to cook for one person.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: It's very annoying.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I don't make the whole meal, don't be in the
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: air fire, but like sometimes I'll throw the salmon in
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: there because I don't like how salmon smells.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: Salmon is perfect in the air f Yeah.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: So like I literally bought an air fire for salmon
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: because I love salmon, but I hate cooking it because
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: it makes my whole house smell like salmon.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: But anyway, my whole export page now is meal prep
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and like ad workouts.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, the kitchen algorithm is my favorite. When I
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: wander into that part of my algorithm, it's great because
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: I love watching people cook because I do it.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: They make it look so easy they do. I'll be like,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: they'll be like, here's an easy recipe, and then they
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: start chopping up.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: As soon as they start chopping, I'm like that my
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: nice skills, my nice skills are not there.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: The whole onion. It's just one of me. They sell
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: things for one piece.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: I think they do. I think they do.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a leftovers girl, but I can't be
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: making whole whole meals.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: I like cooking for other people. See, I'm not there yet.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: I'm getting there.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: I like cooking for other people. I don't cook. I
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: don't very very rarely. I really have to be in
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: the mood for one specific thing to cook for myself.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: But so do you. Will you cook for your significant other?
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Then I will now, but you didn't before. I'm never

  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, I'm just saying we don't have these conversations
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: with about men's basketball players bringing their children to the facility.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: And before this, like last CBA, like that was like
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: frowned upon for the most part.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so now that they're it's like what it's like
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: uterus uh load management.
• 54:02

  Speaker 2: It's not a medical condition.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, whoever made that graphic?

  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, yeah, they're right. So you do
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: want to get buried, you do want to have kids.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like that's something that you will be
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: more intentional about when you are done playing?
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I mean I think it's something I have to start
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: doing while I'm playing, because I still feel like I
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: can play for a long time, and then I won't
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: know if I'll be able to come back from having
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: a baby and play until it happens. I'm not going

  Speaker 3: Though definitely a solvable ich.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't, Maybe you didn't like him that much joy,

  Speaker 3: were dating, like so we like I I look.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Communication has always been an issue for me like I
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: was dating this guy who had one speed.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's always not fun.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: Like, wabe, I'm not a humping post one speed, yes, just.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: Like what are you doing? Just give it a little roll,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: like just just.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Stroke music on for him and then like catch this speed, yeah,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: test to beat, catch this beat.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: It's like this and the next song okay.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: And he was and he was and he was a spreader,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: which is I mean, what why Amy.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: Like what what what am I doing with my legs?
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: On the other side, I can't. I can barely open
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: my legs anyway. I'm fuckingble. I'm not flexible.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Give it a little test if there's too much resistance
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: in the in the hamstrings.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: Else stretching me like that ship is not cute. Not cute.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: This it is not sexy. Now you got one speed
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: and I'm holding my legs up. I'm definitely Yeah, that's
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: not cute. No, that was not sexy, but definitely solvable.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: Joy He that one at least would order me orange
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: juice and coffee in the morning.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's cute. That was cute. So he made up
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: You know, when I saw someone on threads say today
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: they said they said that the male loneliness epidemic is
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: actually about men not having other male friends.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you see, they have no friends.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: I was, I know, the fuck is that? What is
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: it about? What's it about? I really do feel like
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: men don't be having friends, men don't have friends? But
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: why the fuck is it our fault? Right that will
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: agree with you that why y'all take friends? But the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: male loneliness epidemic is quickly not about y'all having other
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: male friends.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: I saw a thread yesterday and it was, uh, I'm
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: pretty sure it was a black woman and she was
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: like she like asked threads and she was like, uh,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: she like directed it to like white women and she
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: was like, how are you guys raised as far as
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: like building friendships in sisterhood? And you know how we
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: have like black girls black black girls bed black girls this.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: And then the whole thread was like these white women
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: like we were taught that women were our competition and
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: we can't have friends.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: And it was like it was so sad. Is that
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: why they felt the way they do?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess, but like it was like
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of responses and the women were regurgitating the
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: same thing alter so and over and I was like,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: is that like the root of people being miserable and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: weird and fucked up is because like no one got
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: no friends.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: I think people are this time right now, we have
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: more ways to communicate and connect with each other than
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: ever before, and people are more lonely than that crazy And.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: It's because we.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Aren't actually forming real bonds with each other. We're not
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: speaking to each other with nuance and the way that
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: we would if we were interacting in person. And a
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: big part of what the Internet has taken away from
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: human interaction is the ability to be in the middle
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: on things. Most of what we care about, or think
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: about or talk about is not on the stark ends
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: of reality. We are all very complicated people. We all
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: have these different spaces where we show up. You're feminine,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: you're an athlete, you're a lover girl, but you're tough,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: and you have you're dealing with crones, but you're you're
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: very strong, like you have all these different things about you.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: You're not one thing, and the Internet wants us all
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: to be one thing. We all have to be liberal,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: or we all have to be conservative, or we all
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: have to be angry, or we all have to be sweet.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: We all have to be the cutest thing on earth,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: or we have to have devil music. Like there's no
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: there's no in between, and so everyone gets very tribal.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: And I think that's why people are one having a
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: really hard time making new friends and connecting with people
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: because they feel like the real.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: World is like that too, and it's not. It's not.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: And it's also very scary and people you know, don't
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: like rejection, and rejection is just a reality of life
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't mean that you were less than And
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: that's a big part of, you know, why dating is
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: so difficult now because so many people are afraid for
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: someone to say no.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: It's like, who gives a fuck exactly if they say no?
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: Or who guys?
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: If you start dating someone it don't work. That's the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: point of dating, right, It's fine for.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Women and men because I've had this conversation with both
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: women and.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: Some shites don't work out that if it's like.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: Oh it does not working out, they're an asshole. No, no,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: like nobody owes anybody anything. The point of dating is
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: to see if it's gonna work or not, and to
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: enjoy the journey on the way there and if the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: journey gets shitty early, then you get the fuck.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: Out, right.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No one's forcing you to maybe this will get better.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe and now he's an asshole or she's an asshole.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Well no, like you knew this wasn't gonna work, So
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: what's next for you?
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: What's next?
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Honestly, it's funny that you asked that, because, like, I
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: really have no fucking idea. I was telling you earlier,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: like I'm trying to leave LA. You know, I'm technically
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: signed with the Seattle Storm, but you know our CBA
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: is still not together. Don't know if we're gonna have
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: a season, don't even know if I'm going to still
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: be on the Storm. We have the expansion draft, i
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: could get traded again. Like, there's just so many question
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: marks for me personally, So I'm just kind of like
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: going with the flow right now. I think I've thankfully
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: put myself in a position where it's not like stressing
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: me out completely. I think I've worked really really hard
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: the last like five ish years to put me in
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: like a position to where like I can really handle
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: anything at this point, and I'm really grateful for that.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: And then I have my family as well, my Mom's like,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: just come home and live with us.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I can't. I cannot.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Like I lived with my parents until last October when
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I've got my first place out here. I was living
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: at home in the off season because I was just
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: all over the place all the time.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just chilling at home all the time.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: So I was able to like just save a ton
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: of money, chase my dreams on the court off the court,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: and they've just been.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: Just sitting there chilling, like we have a room for
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: you always.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: And now she's trying to lure me back there, and
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know if I could do that, Mom,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: But it's nice that that's like that's an option.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: It's okay to not know what you want to do either.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like I do know though, Like Athletes
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Unlimited starts in February, Like that's happening unless you know
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: something in the CBA shuts that all down, which is
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: like something that has been discussed unfortunately shutting the other
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: leagues now, not shutting the other leagues down, but like
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: not allowing w players to participate, Like that's been an
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: idea that's been thrown around and as of right now,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: like the CB is not signed so that we're playing
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: in those leagues. You know, athletes unlimited change my life,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: like it's been the best thing ever.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: But yeah, now I'm just locked in training.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm back working out, back in the gym.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: You know, people always like, get in the gym, get off,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: then get off the internet, go work out.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: You know the gym guys, if you don't post it
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: then and I'm not going to like I'm making a
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: very I already told Myra.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: I said, this is a camera free off season.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: You don't see how nice people are to me, but
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: on my workout videos.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Those are the people I want to fight because you're
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: on your couch and she's in the gym. That's like,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: does that make sense to you? People like, no, in
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: the gym and you're on your couch.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: I don't like her how she's built. I okay, I
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: love the like it's crazy.

• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: what's the hardest part about dating after thirty five?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: I'm a little confused as the first part. Does that
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: mean that it's hard to find sex after thirty five?
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Sex pursuit notwithstanding, what's the hardest part about dating.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: After thirty five? Getting okay?
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: Getting late is not harder after thirty five, that is
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: for sure. It is the same as it has always
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: been for me personally. So let's I guess, yeah, sex
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: out off the table. I think the hardest part about
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: dating after thirty five, I don't know. Thirty five to me,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: I don't remember that age being something that I was like,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: I'm thirty five and this is things are different now,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: but I know for a lot of people, thirty five
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: is a you know, a benchmark birthday. I will say
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: in your late let's just say your late thirties. The
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: difference with dating, I think it's the expectations. Once you
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: reach a certain age, you just have expectations of people.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's right or if it's wrong,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: but it just is. You expect people to be mature,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: You expect people to know what they want. You expect
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: people to be more honest. You expect people to be
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: more reliable. You expect people to be able to come
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: to the table with specific things that they want. And
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: you have the things that you want, and if you
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: both don't want the same things that you can calm
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: in comfortably move in different directions. You just expect dating
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: to be different. And I don't know that it's any
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: different for a lot of people. I know I'm speaking
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: very generally now, but I think that is that isn't
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: that is something that changes when you get older. It's
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: just your expectations change. I expect a man to be
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: different at forty than I expect him to be at
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: thirty two, and my expectations of a thirty two year
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: old and a forty year old are different, and maybe
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: that's wrong, but I know for a lot of women
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: in their late thirties that is a real frustration that
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: everybody is not on the same.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: At least level.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: People are going to be doing different things at different
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: journey points in their life.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: Maybe you are ready to get married, maybe.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: You're not necessarily ready to get married, Maybe you want children,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: or you don't know if you want children, like you
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: can still be figuring those things out, but I do
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: think there is an expectation of a certain way that
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: you present yourself when you get into your mid to
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: late thirties that makes it more frustrating if someone is
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: not on that wavelength. Again, always speaking generally when answering
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: these questions, but I think that's difference for me. As
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: I get older, my tolerance is down to a zero,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: My patience is at a zero, and.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: I know that I'm not alone in that.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: Thinking that there should at least be a level of
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: transparency that you reach once you get to a certain
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: age when it comes to dating.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: That would remove a lot of frustration for a lot
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: of people.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: So I think that that's the difference for me.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: Thanks so much for sending in the question.
