0:59
SPEAKER_01: flight from Tampa to Atlanta and then Atlanta to New Orleans on Monday morning.
1:04
SPEAKER_01: Went to Monday night football at 8:15, woke up the next day for a flight that was at 10 a.m.
1:10
SPEAKER_01: Or no, my flight was at 8 a.m.

SPEAKER_01: for an 8 a.m.
1:12
SPEAKER_01: flight.
1:12
SPEAKER_01: Landed at 10 a.m.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: Sled for most of the day, went to the Charlie X concert in Atlanta on Tuesday.
1:20
SPEAKER_01: Then woke up the next day, went to the dream playoff game last night.
1:26
SPEAKER_01: And yeah, so I'm a shell of myself and I'm fighting for my life.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: However, I will say the fact that I was at the game last night makes me wanna makes me wanna change my motherfucking clothes.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: Go, dream, go, dream, go, dream, go, dream, ATL ho, ATL ho, ATL ho, ATL ho.
1:47
SPEAKER_00: Guys, we won! Look at my jersey.
1:50
SPEAKER_00: How fire is my jersey!
2:04
SPEAKER_01: Guys, welcome back to another episode of the Hoops for Hotties Live Show.
2:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm your host Mariah Rose, and this is the one and only sports show where I teach the girls and the gays about what's going on in the sports world, okay?
2:16
SPEAKER_01: And we have a lot to get into this week because like literally every single sport is happening right now.
2:21
SPEAKER_01: So love this for us.
2:23
SPEAKER_01: Congratulations to Asia Motherfucking Wilson for winning her not first, not second, not third, not fourth, but fifth most valuable player in the motherfucking WNBA award.
2:36
SPEAKER_01: Everybody now.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: I mean, won't she do it?
2:44
SPEAKER_00: Won't she do it?
2:55
SPEAKER_01: Congratulations to Asia Wilson.
2:57
SPEAKER_01: Let's move on to the rest of the show.
3:00
SPEAKER_01: So, you guys, I'm literally getting a headache.
3:03
SPEAKER_01: I'm literally getting a headache already because why in the hell did nobody why did nobody warn me that there, even though the playoffs for the Indiana fever had ended, we still have to talk about them.
3:22
SPEAKER_01: Like I I thought it was done.
3:25
SPEAKER_01: Like I really thought their reign over the stress in my life was over.
3:30
SPEAKER_01: Evidently not.
3:31
SPEAKER_01: The Indiana Fever are back in the news.
3:32
SPEAKER_01: It's my least favorite thing to fucking talk about ever in the world, but I think it's important that we talk about it because if their organization doesn't give a fuck, then I guess somebody has to.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: To make a long story short, again, reading off my notes so that when I get go die, you black bitch comments.
3:52
SPEAKER_01: You guys aren't just coming for me like I made this shit up, okay?
3:55
SPEAKER_01: I'm reading it directly off of my notes, which have been researched heavily, okay?
4:00
SPEAKER_01: The fever season ended last week in Vegas, and the drama did not end with it.
4:06
SPEAKER_01: At their end-of-season press conference on Saturday, GM Amber Cox came out with a prepared statement defending their fan base.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: She said that the attacks on fever fans have no basis in reality and need to stop, especially from the media, and that not one fan was removed from a game for breaking the code of conduct all season.
4:28
SPEAKER_01: She even said the fans are allowed to cheer, boo, and sometimes point, which after the Asia Wilson situation was definitely a choice for her to specify that.
4:38
SPEAKER_01: But on the same day, Kelsey Mitchell, who had just had a career season for the Indiana Fever, okay, and is now a free agent, and they need her.
4:48
SPEAKER_01: If you actually watch the WNBA to like watch basketball and not just to like, I don't know, see Sophie Cunningham pandered to Republicans, you would know that they need Kelsey Mitchell on the basketball court.
4:59
SPEAKER_01: She's a free agent.
5:01
SPEAKER_01: And she said that people don't understand how much fever players endure.
5:07
SPEAKER_01: She said if she showed us her DMs about the hate, we'd see it and that it comes specifically with being an Indiana fever player.
5:14
SPEAKER_01: Aaliyah Boston has said similar things before, and former fever player Brianna Turner, who's on the Aces now, called Cox's statement flat out false.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: So here's what happened, guys.
5:25
SPEAKER_01: Kelsey Mitchell basically came out, one of the fevers, if not her best, their best player, came out and said that it's hard being a fever girl because they get crazy hate in their DMs.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: And even when you're trying to show up and do your job, it's hard to be on the same team as Caitlin Clark because it comes with a certain level of scrutiny.
5:43
SPEAKER_01: I'd imagine when you play bad, fever fans aren't the nicest to the black girl on the team.
5:47
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
5:48
SPEAKER_01: Like, can we like, can we all admit that?
5:49
SPEAKER_01: Or are we like gonna pretend that we don't, you know?
5:53
SPEAKER_01: Basically, Kelsey Mitchell came out and said that the Indiana, it's really difficult to play for the Indiana Fever as black woman, basically, because Caitlin Clark fans make her life hard.
6:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
6:03
SPEAKER_01: And this is coming from one of your best players, a free agent that you need back.
6:07
SPEAKER_01: And she's saying outside of basketball, it's hard to play there, okay?
6:12
SPEAKER_01: Which is something that we've been hearing quite often.
6:13
SPEAKER_01: Aaliy Boston, a number one pick, deleted her social media because of negative comments from Fever fans, okay?
6:21
SPEAKER_01: So this isn't like a new thing.
6:23
SPEAKER_01: And for the general manager to come out and say that this has no basis in reality, that's not even good PR.
6:33
SPEAKER_01: Like, how does that make sense for you to come out and say that one of your players who is a free agent is lying?
6:39
SPEAKER_01: Are we serious?
6:40
SPEAKER_01: And even people who are fever fans would probably agree that, yeah, it's probably not the best experience being a fever being a fever player as any marginalized person.
6:52
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know.
6:55
SPEAKER_01: And I think that the most difficult thing about it is that it makes it obvious that the Indiana Fever don't care about this issue.
7:05
SPEAKER_01: And I think that's the problem.
7:06
SPEAKER_01: I don't understand, and I've said this before when it came to the Indiana Fever coach, when it came to the Indiana Fever players, when it came to Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham ditching the media after tough situations.
7:17
SPEAKER_01: I think that this would all go away if they would just address the issue head on and say, we don't stand for racism, we don't stand for hate, we don't stand for homophobia, we are an inclusive organization, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
7:28
SPEAKER_01: Anytime an issue like this comes up, if they would shut it down in a way that says, hey, that's not us and that's not what we stand for, not denying the fact that the problem even exists, I think that this would go away faster and we wouldn't have to keep it.
7:39
SPEAKER_01: Maybe they like it.
7:40
SPEAKER_01: Maybe they want us to keep talking about them and they want to stay in the media, and that's why they because I just I don't understand.
7:45
SPEAKER_01: I literally don't understand how they could possibly pretend that this issue doesn't exist.
7:49
SPEAKER_01: This literally happened when, wasn't it Angel Reese, that they were making monkey noises at her, and then they did a whole investigation and they were like, no, they weren't.
7:57
SPEAKER_01: And it's like this, not all of these people are lying about their experiences with Indiana Fever fans.
8:03
SPEAKER_01: And I'll tell you what, my own experience with Indiana Fever fans has been nothing but negative.
8:08
SPEAKER_01: That's why I hate talking about them.
8:09
SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh.
8:10
SPEAKER_01: Actually, you know what I should do?
8:11
SPEAKER_01: I should go through my DMs and I should pull messages from Indiana Fever fans and the things that the in the things that they say to me that are absolutely vile and read them to you.
8:20
SPEAKER_01: So because the problem doesn't exist, right?
8:21
SPEAKER_01: Because it's it's fake.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: This problem is fake, right?
8:24
SPEAKER_01: Like I am a content creator who was never, I'm I don't pick up a basketball literally ever.
8:28
SPEAKER_01: I don't play basketball, and I receive such negative hate from the Indiana Fever fans that I even hate discussing them in any level.
8:37
SPEAKER_01: So I could only imagine playing for them every single night, and that being my job.
8:43
SPEAKER_01: It does like it, it doesn't make sense.
8:46
SPEAKER_01: And I didn't want to get into Caitlin because I'm I I'm I'm actually not in the mood today.
8:50
SPEAKER_01: I've been in a good mood.
8:50
SPEAKER_01: I don't want those comments.
8:51
SPEAKER_01: So just y'all already know how I feel.
8:53
SPEAKER_01: Either address the hitty either address the issue head on and shut down any association between your organization and racism or your brand or yourself and racism, or don't speak on it at all.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: But to come out and call Kelsey Mitchell a liar, basically, because that's what you're doing, and say that the problem doesn't exist is bullshit.
9:09
SPEAKER_01: So can we can we get that?
9:11
SPEAKER_01: Can we get that the fuck on?
9:13
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
9:14
SPEAKER_01: Now, Sydney Colson has responded on her podcast.
9:16
SPEAKER_01: Sydney Colson, if you don't know, oh my god, absolutely hilarious.
9:19
SPEAKER_01: And used to play for the fever.
9:21
SPEAKER_01: She also played for the Aces.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: She was pissed when that fever fan was pointing at Asia or whatever that situation was.
9:27
SPEAKER_01: And she came in hot.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: Uh she is a former fever player.
9:31
SPEAKER_01: She was courtside of game two when Asia confronted that fan that pointed at her.
9:34
SPEAKER_01: First, she responded to Kelsey's press conference clip and said that there was a lot of bold-faced lying going on.
9:40
SPEAKER_01: And then on unsupervised her podcast with TP, she went all the way in.
9:45
SPEAKER_01: She called Cox's defense, the jam of the Indiana Fever, a slap in the face because players are on the record saying what they've experienced and are being told that it isn't real.
9:54
SPEAKER_01: She said that the organization has done little to nothing to address what happens at Game Bridge and in the arenas where the fever play.
10:00
SPEAKER_01: She was fair about it too.
10:02
SPEAKER_01: She said that not every fever fan is bad, obviously.
10:05
SPEAKER_01: She's had plenty of good experiences, and nobody was calling the man who pointed out Asia racist.
10:10
SPEAKER_01: But she said that the team has basically given fans permission to behave badly and that a lot of the players stay quiet because they're scared of losing money and opportunities.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: And all of this is happening while the fever say their number one priority is re-signing Kelsey.
10:24
SPEAKER_01: But she's a liar.
10:27
SPEAKER_01: I mean, and I don't understand how like random people on the internet could possibly disagree with somebody who actually played on the team.
10:44
SPEAKER_01: Like, are we are we okay?
10:46
SPEAKER_01: Anyways, okay, I'm done talking about the Atlanta fever.
10:48
SPEAKER_01: It's putting me in a bad mood.
10:49
SPEAKER_01: Let's talk about the Atlanta Dream.
10:50
SPEAKER_01: Woo! Okay, the Atlanta Dream went up 2-0 on the Liberty last night.
10:54
SPEAKER_01: I was there at the game.
10:55
SPEAKER_01: I had the time of my life.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: I love WNBA games, y'all.
10:58
SPEAKER_01: If you don't go to WNBA games, like, please, please.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so the Atlanta Dream are one win away from their first WNBA finals since 2013.
11:09
SPEAKER_01: Last night at home, they beat the Liberty 101 to 98 in overtime to go up 2-0 in the semifinals.
11:14
SPEAKER_01: And they did it without their leading scorer, Alicia Gray, who's out with a hand injury.
11:18
SPEAKER_01: Angel Reese had 23.
11:20
SPEAKER_01: Jordan Canada had 23 and 8.
11:22
SPEAKER_01: Brianna Stewart was cooking for New York with 25 in the first half.
11:26
SPEAKER_01: Guys, she literally could have missed.
11:28
SPEAKER_01: Like the first quarter, I think she scored like 10 in the first quarter, but like the way it looked, it was like, what's going on?
11:34
SPEAKER_01: What's going on?
11:35
SPEAKER_01: And the Liberty shot 55%, but they turned the ball over 17 times, and the Dream scored 28 points off those turnovers.
11:42
SPEAKER_01: Angel Reese hit two huge free throws late in regulation.
11:46
SPEAKER_01: I will say, playoff WNBA basketball is so entertaining because the level of competition is so high.
11:53
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't get much better than that.
11:54
SPEAKER_01: And it did feel a lot like the Liberty were playing the absolute best they could, and it still wasn't enough against the dream.
12:03
SPEAKER_01: And it really puts it into perspective how many weapons the dream have.
12:09
SPEAKER_01: And I I actually think it's really funny because I see comments all the time about Angel Reese specifically and how she's super popular, and how people think that she's not actually good at basketball.
12:20
SPEAKER_01: And just watch a game.
12:22
SPEAKER_01: I mean, this girl is so, so, so talented.
12:25
SPEAKER_01: The Dream also won game one on Sunday, 92 to 82, and game three is on Friday night in Brooklyn.
12:32
SPEAKER_01: Atlanta Dream, please take care of business.
12:34
SPEAKER_01: Don't stress me out.
12:35
SPEAKER_01: Like whatever the whatever the fuck was in the air last night, I need us to like get it together and mm-mm.
12:43
SPEAKER_01: Mm-mm.
12:44
SPEAKER_01: Stop playing with your food.
12:45
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
12:45
SPEAKER_01: We need the finals in Atlanta.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: Bad.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: I also want to talk about the year that Angel Reese is having.
12:51
SPEAKER_01: Because back in April after the after the Chicago Sky went 10 and 34, and she was openly frustrated with losing.
12:59
SPEAKER_01: Chicago traded her to Atlanta for two future first-round picks.
13:02
SPEAKER_01: In her first season with The Dream, she averaged a career high 16.4 points and a league best 12.1 rebounds.
13:09
SPEAKER_01: She became the first player in WNBA history to grab 500 rebounds in a season, finishing with 521, and she set records for offensive rebounds for double doubles with 32 and for the most rebounds in a single game with 26.
13:21
SPEAKER_01: She also dropped a career high 31 points this summer.
13:24
SPEAKER_01: Last week she was named Defensive Player of the Year, first in dream history, with 46 of 74 votes.
13:32
SPEAKER_01: She's now one win away from the WNBA finals.
13:36
SPEAKER_01: And I do think I don't want to get into like the negative and dangerous comparisons between Angel and the rest of her very, very popular draft class, but I do want to say that it's interesting the amount of hate Angel Reese has experienced since she did this in um the national championship and won in college and has won on every level.
14:03
SPEAKER_01: And it's interesting that she's being put in a very real position to win again so early in her career, as well as getting defensive player of the year and being such an important part of this team, both emotionally and on the court.
14:17
SPEAKER_01: She really, really cares.
14:18
SPEAKER_01: She fits into Atlanta perfectly.
14:21
SPEAKER_01: And I think that we need to start having conversations.
14:24
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've been having these conversations this whole time, but I would love for basketball fans to have the conversations that really respect what Angel Reese has done so far in her WNBA career, outside of the Barbie, outside of the shoes, outside of all the incredible, outside of Victoria's Secret, the incredible things she does off the court.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: But I don't think enough people are giving her credit simply for what she has done on the court at her age, having the experiencing the change she has, experiencing the level of fame she has and the level of vitriol she has.
14:50
SPEAKER_01: That shit is impressive.
14:52
SPEAKER_01: And I will say, Angel Reese with like a mean mid-range, right?
15:01
SPEAKER_01: Right?
15:02
SPEAKER_01: So next we're going to be talking about the NBA, the MNBA, for just like a sec because I do want to talk about LeBron James' helicopter, okay?
15:12
SPEAKER_01: Obviously, LeBron James is 76er now.
15:14
SPEAKER_01: He signed a two-year,$8 million deal this summer for his 24th season and a splitting time between Philly and New York.
15:19
SPEAKER_01: So, how is he getting to practice a helicopter?
15:21
SPEAKER_01: Basically, the word on the street is that LeBron's Fanatics deal includes unlimited use of their fanatics branded helicopter, and he's helicoptering in and out of practice and games and stuff like that.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: And every time he gets on his helicopter, it's like a video all over social media.
15:38
SPEAKER_01: And the only reason I'm talking about this right now is I just want to say this.
15:43
SPEAKER_01: LeBron, I think that if you want to play for Philly, you should live in Philly.
15:48
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know.
15:49
SPEAKER_01: Like, it just feels a little.
15:51
SPEAKER_01: Am I annoying?
15:52
SPEAKER_01: Like it feels a little cheating the system, bro.
15:53
SPEAKER_01: Just live in Philly.
15:54
SPEAKER_01: Do you know how dangerous it is to fly a helicopter that often?
15:57
SPEAKER_01: Like, you are playing with your life.
15:58
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know.
15:59
SPEAKER_01: That is so scary.
16:01
SPEAKER_01: That is so scary.
16:02
SPEAKER_01: Helicopter in and out.
16:04
SPEAKER_01: And mind you, he's a billionaire and he's LeBron James.
16:06
SPEAKER_01: He deserves to fly in and out of wherever the fuck he wants.
16:08
SPEAKER_01: But I just think to are Philly fans not like, why the fuck do you want to play in Philly if you didn't want to live in Philly?
16:15
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know.
16:16
SPEAKER_01: It's just a little.
16:18
SPEAKER_01: What's wrong with Philly?
16:19
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's not New York, but if you're fully committed to this Philly thing, why not?
16:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
16:28
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
16:29
SPEAKER_01: Guys, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick NFL recap, okay?

17:17
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
17:18
SPEAKER_01: So before I go, I'm going to answer some hot takes and questions from the chat.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: Mariah, did you see the tea with Dylan Harper?
17:26
SPEAKER_01: Okay, to be honest, guys, I saw that I guess Dylan Harper, NBA player, his girlfriend is supposedly, supposedly slept with some other girl's boyfriend and she leaked the DMs and she's cheating on him.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: Isn't that like let me know in the chat if that's like a valid assessment of the situation?
17:47
SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: Like that's my response to this.
17:50
SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
17:51
SPEAKER_01: Like, I was gonna make a TikTok about it, but for some reason, this isn't, it is just not speaking that deeply into my soul.
17:58
SPEAKER_01: Like, okay.
17:59
SPEAKER_01: And and then allegedly, like, I was seeing stuff on on the internet, like he cheats on her and she cheats on him, and they they cheat on each other.
18:05
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: That shit doesn't mess.
18:07
SPEAKER_01: I ew.
18:09
SPEAKER_01: Like, good for them.
18:10
SPEAKER_01: If they like it, I love it.
18:11
SPEAKER_01: You know, it sounds like what is what is that shit that I hate?
18:14
SPEAKER_01: An open relationship.
18:16
SPEAKER_01: Like, who cares?
18:18
SPEAKER_01: This is from Disgirl.
18:20
SPEAKER_01: Hey, what do you think about Sophie's comments on Asia after the Indiana game?
18:27
SPEAKER_01: I think that she was fucking tripping.
18:30
SPEAKER_01: I think to poke the bear of the best player in the world and you are a role player scoring five points in an elimination game is stupid.
18:39
SPEAKER_01: It's stupid as fuck.
18:40
SPEAKER_01: You didn't have to do that.
18:41
SPEAKER_01: Like, you didn't that this is a five-time MVP you're talking to.
18:44
SPEAKER_01: Pick on somebody your own size.
18:46
SPEAKER_01: I mean, Jesus Christ.
18:47
SPEAKER_01: Like, Jesus Christ.
18:49
SPEAKER_01: Uh Raymond said, can we talk about my dog Gabby Williams?
18:53
SPEAKER_01: I mean, can we?
18:55
SPEAKER_01: Give me a second.
18:56
SPEAKER_01: I think one of these days I should give you guys like a jersey tour.
19:07
SPEAKER_01: Like, here's the thing, you guys.
19:10
SPEAKER_01: You know that in the MNBA, I'm a part-time Warriors fan.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
19:15
SPEAKER_01: Like, you know that.
19:16
SPEAKER_01: And so it's only right that I have a little extra love for the Golden State Valkyries.
19:25
SPEAKER_01: I mean, come on.
19:26
SPEAKER_01: What they're doing is incredible.
19:28
SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna be so for real with you guys.
19:31
SPEAKER_01: I'm less scared.
19:32
SPEAKER_01: As an Atlanta fan, I'm less scared of the Valkyries than I am of the Aces.
19:38
SPEAKER_01: So, as much as I want Asia to go to another NBA finals, like, girl, you have enough championships.
19:44
SPEAKER_01: You just won your fifth MVP.
19:47
SPEAKER_01: Yay! Yay! Yeah, I'd rather play the Valkyries.
19:51
SPEAKER_01: So, um, oh my god, this shit's so cute.
19:55
SPEAKER_01: I should like put both of their jerseys up when it's the finals.
19:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
19:58
SPEAKER_01: But I won't be disappointed if anybody wins.
20:01
SPEAKER_01: Somebody asked, why were you rep the Saints instead of the Falcons?
20:04
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm doing a game day getaway.
20:06
SPEAKER_01: Okay, let me tell you the T.
20:07
SPEAKER_01: If you're watching on YouTube or listening on audio and you don't know the T.
20:10
SPEAKER_01: So what happened was I'm doing a tour where I'm going to 13 NFL Stadiums.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: I went to Tampa in New Orleans this weekend.
20:17
SPEAKER_01: I I chose to go to New Orleans when they were playing the Falcons on their dome coming, which is the 20th anniversary of their last game back from their first game back from Hurricane Katrina.
20:26
SPEAKER_01: Okay, and they played the Falcons and they beat us and it was like a whole thing.
20:29
SPEAKER_01: So I chose to go to that game because nobody gives a fuck about the content if I go to just some random game that's boring.
20:34
SPEAKER_01: Also, I would love to see the Falcons play the Saints as in a way fan.
20:39
SPEAKER_01: And like I it sees their super dome.
20:41
SPEAKER_01: Like I want to see, I want to see games at their best and at their brightest.
20:45
SPEAKER_01: And so I chose that game, obviously.
20:48
SPEAKER_01: I already said that I was going to do an outfit for every single team.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: So every single team, I'm gonna wear like their colors, and honestly, it's just fun for me to creatively.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: Like I'm dressed like a pirate for Tampa, I wore a little gold bandage chop for the Saints.
21:01
SPEAKER_01: Uh is that like blasphemy in Atlanta?
21:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, probably.
21:05
SPEAKER_01: Do I give a fuck?
21:05
SPEAKER_01: No.
21:06
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
21:06
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, what comes before any of my allegiances, and I'm sorry, you guys know I'm a fair weather fan.
21:14
SPEAKER_01: Like, itch, I I will never get the crown for being the biggest, best sports fan that's so loyal on the planet.
21:19
SPEAKER_01: I like I don't owe anybody loyalty but like the Lord, my boyfriend, and my family.
21:23
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't, like, I don't give a fuck.
21:26
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, like, no.
21:28
SPEAKER_01: So, yes, I love the Falcons.
21:29
SPEAKER_01: I'm from Atlanta, I've never lived anywhere but Atlanta.
21:31
SPEAKER_01: Like, fuck off.
21:32
SPEAKER_01: But like, I part-time root for teams all the fucking time.
21:35
SPEAKER_01: The Saints, absolutely not.
21:38
SPEAKER_01: But like, I unfortunately the fit comes first.
21:40
SPEAKER_01: And when I saw that gold bandit shop on the IMGO website, I said, I'm buying this and I'm wearing it to the seconds game.
21:48
SPEAKER_01: And I don't care if y'all are mad.
21:50
SPEAKER_01: So that's why.
21:51
SPEAKER_01: And people came for me when I made my TikTok and bragged about the fact that we won.
21:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm a brag.
21:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm a brag.
21:58
SPEAKER_01: And my sister's in the chat, and she said, unless it's the dogs, I don't play.
22:02
SPEAKER_01: Listen, now, now, now, when it comes to the Georgia, that's different.
22:08
SPEAKER_01: Okay, when it comes to the Georgia Bulldogs, that's different, bitch.
