  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's best music is Magic, 94.9.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: And welcome to a new episode of Scotty and Abby Unfiltered.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Gotta give a huge shout out to so many of
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: you that have been sliding up in my DMs. Also,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I saw your comment on Spotify, Sierra, saying happy birthday,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: thank you. As well as Sierra was bragging about you, Abby.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: She's been listening to you for a long time since
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you were in Atlanta, so.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Did you say Sierra or Sarah?
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Sierra.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Sierra, thank you, Sierra, for listening.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Anytime you listen to these episodes, you're like, I want
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: to be part of the conversation. I go through, like,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: every time, and I go through the comments, and hopefully
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I can reply back to a couple of you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Abby, how was your weekend?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It was good.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: How was your weekend?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: My weekend. Baby 3-0.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing. It's a weird feeling to now say
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I'm in my 30s. Yeah.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: You know, there's so many things I want to dive
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: into with this conversation because there's so many different emotions
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: that happen when you get another year older. But my
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: first emotion when I turned 30 was I got a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: little sad because my first emotion was, wow, like, this
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: life has gone by so quickly.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I'm at an age now.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Like, I knew I would hit this age, but now
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, you're in your 30s. Somebody said to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: me the other day.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Aren't you supposed to have your shit together? I'm like,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I hope not, because I don't.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But I was thinking about it, and I thought about
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: it from, like, my family's perspective. And that's kind of
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: what got me a little sad, because I was thinking
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: about my dad, and I was like, what a weird feeling,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you know, for a parent to now say, wow, my
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: kids are in their 30s. And I'm at the age
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: now where not only was my dad married, but him
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and my mom... We're just having my brother and me.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And that's a weird eye-opening moment. Like, wow, we're at
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the time that you thought would never come.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Here we are.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Now, I will say, the celebrations were just absolutely out
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: of control. And I got to give so much credit
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to my girlfriend, Brianda, because I have never had a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: birthday like I've had this past weekend.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Aw, she's the best.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, the amount of love that I felt as
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: soon as I got off the show on Friday, I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: walked into my apartment, and I'm like, To be completely
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: honest with the podcast fam, I'm not always the biggest
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: fan of my birthday. I usually don't really like to
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: celebrate it because it's kind of a tough one for me.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: But as I walked into my apartment, I see there's
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: just balloons covering every square foot of my apartment.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I don't have a big one. And attached to each
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: balloon is a letter and a picture.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And one of the things that every now and then
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I get a little open about is sometimes I forget
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: that I have people in my corner, that I have
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: people that I could turn to.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: That I could call on.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I have people that live all over the country, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you forget sometimes how many people are actually there for you.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And so what she decided to do is she attached
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a letter and a picture from 30 different people in
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: my life to represent 30 people as I'm turning 30
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to remind me, because sometimes my mind gets a little
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: dark and it tells me that I'm alone.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: And it was all the message of, you're never alone.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Here's 30 people that not only love you, but they
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: wrote messages to you, that they're always there for you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And so anytime your mind gets a little dark and
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it tries to tell you that nobody's there for you,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: here's your reminder. And just that alone, I was like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: that's like the sweetest thing anybody's ever done.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is so kind of her.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's not an item.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And how creative too.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like it's not an item. It's not something that,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you know, you have to spend a ton of money on.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It's the thought. It's the fact that you went above
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: and beyond knowing where.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I sit sometimes because, you know, as personalities on the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: radio and on Instagram, it's very easy to say, oh
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: my God, They got all their stuff together all the time.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: It's not the truth.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Well, it's our job to look like we have our
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: stuff together or I guess sometimes our job to show
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: when we don't have our stuff together.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But I guess in like a polished, palatable, commercial way.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yes. Like you can't always because the truth is not
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: everybody wants to hear that because everyone's got stuff.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Everyone's got problems.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And as I saw that, I was like, that's so
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: thoughtful because those are just little comments I've made here
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and there about how hard it is sometimes to feel
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: like you know, I could lean on someone or who
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I could lean towards. And to have that, I was
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: like that already birthday set, but then it just continued
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to pile on. And I'm going to give you this
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: idea for the podcast fam, because if you have not
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: set up your own personal wine pairing night, this was
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the most fun that I've had in my apartment.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: So you've probably seen this on Instagram where it's like.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You lay out the paper on a table and you
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: set up your own wine tasting and So Brianna set
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: all of that up.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Like you get a bunch of different wines for all
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: your different palates. And then you could either go online
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: and you could do what we did.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: We just go on chat GPT and you just go
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: through and you have the perfect pairing lined up.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Like, okay, we have a bubbly.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Here's the perfect kind of cheese and the perfect kind
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of olive and the perfect kind of prosciutto.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: And you go down the line.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It's like, you're going out to a fancy restaurant to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: get a wine pairing, but we did it right in
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the comfort of our home and just had the wine
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: had the cheese and And then had the most incredible
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: dinner with like ribeyes and scallops just at home. And
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it spoke perfectly to my love language. Like I'm not
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: somebody that wants to go out and have the fanciest dinner.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Like every now and then that's fine. Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: But the comfort of my house. Oh my God. It
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: was literally heaven. Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: She knows you so well.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It was so cool to just be able to sit
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: back and take in every moment where it wasn't overwhelming.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: There wasn't too many things to do. It was just
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the right amount of things. Then the day after, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: we talked about this a little bit on the podcast,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: went out to Pig Jig. Girl, you would have loved
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Pig Jig. I know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I had somebody invite me last minute, but I was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: asked to come to the Rowdies game, and there was only, like,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: one I could go to. It was either this Saturday
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: or bus. And so I was like, well, they were
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: nice enough to give me fuel passes. I don't want
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to bail, especially because I post so much about Tampa
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: sports that I'm like, how rude of me to now
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: shut this down, to be like, no, I have better
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: things than you. Also, I quite frankly didn't.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Even know what pig jig was until this week.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I didn't either. Until you showed up.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: But it looked like literally everybody was there. I was like,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: how did no one, how did I.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Not hear about this?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what everyone is asking me because this is
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the first time I've been. And I've lived in Tampa
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: now for 11 years. And you walk in and just
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: picture like a college tailgate. Yeah. Where there's just tents
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: everywhere and there's smoke up in the air from all
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: everyone's smokers.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: They've been there since 4 a.m. And it just smells
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: like the greatest barbecue because it is.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: And Thomas Rhett performed.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: And Thomas Rhett was out there.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he just has so many good hits that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you are even just a casual
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: country fan or you just like being in a country
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: music environment, like he's the perfect person to play.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It was the perfect tailgate setup because you're just sitting
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: out there talking, having a couple of drinks, eating like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: The best barbecue because they're just everyone's just handing you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: samples because it's all competition. So they're delivering these big
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: pallets to the judges. But as you walk by, you
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: get snag a little bit, too. So we had a
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: ball out there Saturday. I had no idea how because
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, as social as I am, I do have
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a battery. Like I get to a point where I'm like,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: all right, I'm good, man. That battery is riding high
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: because it's just all good vibes.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Nobody's like our shots in the corner. No, I'm good.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: But you can have a beer and then just have
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: conversations with different people as if you're at a college
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: football tailgate. Because everyone has their TV screens up, so
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you're watching college football as well. So Pig Jig was
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: an absolute blast. I'm going to say one of the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: best events in Tampa Bay.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll have to make it a point to go
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: next year.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: But what are your thoughts on the Rowdies game, though?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Because I've mentioned the Rowdies to you before. We've had
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: little conversations about it, and you finally got to go.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was cool. I mean, I just love seeing
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: people be around things that they're excited about. It was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: really cool. They have this whole... And I mean this
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in a very complimentary way. This is going to sound
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: like it's condescending, but it felt like a big high
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: school football game. I remember in high school, we would
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have the student section and we'd have chants and we
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: would have posters and everyone's wearing their specific colored gear.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And when you go to a game, and don't get
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: me wrong, you're talking to a person who loves going
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to a lightning game.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I do like a football game. I like a tailgate.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: But.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like there's no sense of camaraderie in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: cheering for the team, like unless something is happening. Whereas
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the whole time from start to finish at the Tampa
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Bay Rowdy game, Tampa Bay Rowdy's game, there's like the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: big cheering section where they've got the smoke machines and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: There's a drum playing and they've got chants. And I'm like, wow,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it's really cool to see like these people come out
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: every single week for these guys that they don't even
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: know personally.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Like, it's very cool.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I love that comparison because I don't think that's a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: diss at all. Like going to a high school game.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Because we lose that camaraderie as we go up. Like
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: professional sports are extremely fun. But you compare that to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a college football game, and we're talking two different sports. 100%.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And I feel like especially with professional teams, and this
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: is why I've never been like, and I'm sitting here
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in a Jacksonville Jaguars shirt, so this is going.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: To sound completely hypocritical.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: This is why I've never been like a big NFL
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: fan specifically, because I don't really understand where the loyalty
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: comes from. Like, I can tell you why I'm a
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: University of Florida fan. It's because my whole family went
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to UF. I attended the school. Like, you're never going
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to see me wearing an FSU jersey. Meanwhile, I'll wear
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a Bucks jersey. I'll wear a Cowboys, maybe not a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Cowboys jersey. I'll wear a Jaguar. Like anybody I'm a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: casual fan of, I'll throw that jersey on all day. And,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I can be a casual fan and enjoy it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But like when it comes to the Gators, like, yeah,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I want the Gators to win. And I think you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: kind of see that trickle in because it's such a
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: business that, for example, I was at the Lightning game
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: on Saturday and I was just there going to have
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a bev and then go to the Rowdies game and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: then meet my friends out. And the people in front
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of me I was getting so annoyed with that, like,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: they weren't paying attention at all. They're gabbing, they're chatting.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, love a gab, love a chit chat. Like,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I go to sports games because I like the social
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: aspect of it. But at some point, shut up.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: At some point, like, it just seems like you don't
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: even really care that they're playing. which is fine, but
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: then go somewhere else. Go watch it at a sports bar.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's more of the vibe for that.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You're in the arena. And listen, I'm guilty of that too,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but it was just kind of like, I feel like
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I've been in this situation so many times this week
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: or the last couple times I've been to the games
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: where I'm like, do you want to watch it or not?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Do you want to watch them play?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: That's a good point because when you're there, you're literally
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: there for the sport, but it also is such a
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: social environment.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Of like what you talk about.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And it's not like they're bad. It's not like we're
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: watching the Bucks play and it's like, dear God.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: We're losing again.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I turned my attention away.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like you got to do
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: something else. Like they're actively like scoring and dunking and
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: fighting on these people.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, pay attention.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. just want to like turn their head
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and be like look that's why you're here you bought
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: the ticket to be here but it's also nice because
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: it's a beautiful that's why lightning games are superior because
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you're in the ac you get nice food and nice
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: drinks you can just cozy up in your seats And hang.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Out all day.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: And I do love a club seat because I love
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: an open bar.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, that looked real nice.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It's really great. I'd be hitting up Mikeo every single week.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, do you have tickets? And he's like, well,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: there's two people with a request. And I'm like, it's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: totally fine. If I don't get them, it's whatever. But
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: give them to me.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: That's so convenient for you, too, because if it's like
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: last minute and he does tell you, like you live
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: so close that it's like, hell yeah.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I'll go.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why would I not go? It's free dinner
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and drinks. It's right down the street from me. They're good.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And I will say, like, it is nice because there's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: so many people our age there, and it doesn't feel weird. Like,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for example, on Saturday I went by myself. Like, no
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: one could go with me Saturday, so I'm like, I'm
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: just going to bop down, watch, have a bev. But
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: if I wanted to bump into somebody at a different table,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, can I stand here?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: And then maybe you mingle with them that way. It's
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: a very fun social atmosphere.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the energy is always good. People are in
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: good spirits. Like, there's some sports teams that I swear, like,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the fans are.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Just absolute D-bags. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Like, we don't have that here. Like, we joke around.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: We'll make fun of other teams. But it's not like a,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We're not going to die on the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: hill that our team is always the greatest.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Like, we're going to support you coming into our arena.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's like a northern NFL situation.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: It's weird.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: It's like Bill's Mafia. And listen, like, again, I love
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: the passion.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: You love the passion.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: You're never going to hear me say stop being excited
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: about your team.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: But sometimes I do be.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Like, did you see the Yankees fans that were trying
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to fight some of the Rays fans?
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: At the trop, I'm like, it's not that serious.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly how I feel.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It's only game.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: It's only game, and you are not getting paid. Like,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: you are no part of this. You're just simply the fan. Like,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: be the fan, but don't be the one getting in fights.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Now you look like an idiot.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Now you just look dumb.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Now I look so dumb.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You're brawling over what? Like, these people don't know your name.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They're getting paid millions of dollars to play ball and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: wear their cute little uniform and bop around and do
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: media interviews.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, you don't need to be getting in fights.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Have your little back and forth, but that's the fun
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: of it. I know.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: But then we all just become little, like, I don't know, cavemen.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: But speaking of sports, really quick, and you just said
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the Gators. Congratulations to your Gators. Did you see, like,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: beating Texas?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Thank God.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Did you see our coach's interview? He was like, we
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: still suck, but we just suck a little less right now.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I love, can I just say this? I do want
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to start a series where I just highlight unhinged sports
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: post-game interviews. Like, Cooch's interview after the game on Saturday.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: He just, like, does not want to be there, but
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he's the best player on the team. So they have
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to talk to him because he scored twice on Saturday.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And he just like, it's just so funny to me
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: when coaches or players just decide to screw the PR answer. Yes.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: And like, I get it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Like you're representing a multimillion or billion dollar brand. Like
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you don't want to F up, but when they just
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: decide to be like, yeah, we suck, but we suck
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a little less now. I'm like, I feel so much
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: more connected to you as a coach or a player.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I want to root for you because
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're being a person with me.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: That's a great way to look at it because it's true.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: You have to connect with your fans. That's what we're
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: all thinking.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: If you're a Gator fan, you're like, yeah, that's exciting.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: What does that mean like yeah i know like where
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: do we go from here guys tell it to me
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: like we're having a beer together.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Correct and now you're now a human even though you're
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: getting paid like so those coaches get paid so much
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: money so much that's why i never feel bad when
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: they get booted.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: People are like oh my god their family y'all they
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: got millions they're sitting.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: On that's my dream is to be a the wife
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: of a college football coach who's terrible at his job
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I'll spend one year in Starkville, and then we'll go
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: just buy our house in the Bahamas somewhere.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: It's just wild to me because everyone knows how much
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: players get paid.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: And then you look into the coaches, you're like, oh,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: this is a whole different ballgame.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: No, it's crazy.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And listen, like, if there's a good coach, if you've
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: got a good coach on your hands, they deserve that money.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: But if we're losing and losing and losing and losing
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and losing, it's like, what are you doing?
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, and speaking of Florida, I was just– now
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I'm so wrapped up in Florida sports because that's where
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Breonda went, and that's where, like, so many– My family
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: all went to Florida, too.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: By the way, I was a Gator fan my entire life.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: You can still be a Gator fan.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I'm starting to be. I rooted for them for Texas.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I will root for them coming up against Georgia.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And I know that game's massive.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I've heard about that rivalry since I was a little
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: kid in, like, diapers. I know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of Georgia fans listening. And so
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I will say, I grew up being such a Georgia
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: hater because I'm a Florida fan.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: I will say I got so pissed.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Off the first time I went to Athens because UGA
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is a good school, but it also has a beautiful campus,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and they're also great at sports.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, gosh darn it. I was like, y'all
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: don't deserve all this.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like you can't have it all.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And they're in the mountains, and they're in a great
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: college town.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: And listen, like I love UF.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Like I would not have traded my experience for anything.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Like that was my college experience. But I do remember
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: walking around and going, gosh darn it. Like this is
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: a great school. I felt like– I felt like I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: was a kid in North Korea discovering America's not evil
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: for the first time.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: You're like, wait, they're not as bad as we've always
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: said they are.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait a second, the propaganda I've been
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: fed my whole life is wrong.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: That's a funny thing, though, because every school is missing something.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You can't have it all. Let's take Georgia out of
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the X. Let's just look at Florida schools. We have
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: great schools in Florida.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Great schools.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: What is their one missing piece? And we could speak
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: on our own schools for a second.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think Florida's campus could be better. Like,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Florida doesn't have the most aesthetically pleasing campus. There are
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: areas that are beautiful. Like, you'll turn a corner and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you'll be like, that's the most beautiful building I've ever seen.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: But then the 60s hit and they decided to do
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: all this random new century modern bullshit.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And you're like, why would you guys do that?
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, you like a theme.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I like a theme. I like cohesion.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: And UGA is a very regal place. prestigious looking campus.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Is it like brick? I've never been on that campus.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: There's pillars. It's whatever that Greek revival BS is. Do
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Like you walk around and there's pillars and there's a quad.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: UF doesn't have a quad.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Oh no, we did have like one big grassy lawn
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: but you know, there wasn't, you know, it's very spread out.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: It's cute, but it's not. No one's going to say
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: UF is the most beautiful campus they've ever seen.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I look at USF and I loved USF.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: But one thing we're missing is like that college town feel.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You step off of USF's campus, you're now in
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Temple Terrace.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: You're in Tampa.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Like you're just running around with people that are
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: doing God knows what. Yeah.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You know, it is one of those weird campuses where
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you got to just stay on campus.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: And it's kind of how UCF is. Miami's cool because
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: it's a city school. It looks like a city school.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: People would rave about Florida State's campus all the time.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: And I remember the first time I went to, the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: first and only time I've been to FSU. I walked
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: around and I was like, this just looks like Florida.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: This looks exactly like UF.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: That's what I thought when I went and visited. But
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I knew when I went there, I was like, nah,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I don't want to deal with all this. It just
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: didn't feel like the vibe for me.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: I felt the same way.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Like, I always had a lot of respect for FSU
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: growing up because the other half of my family cheers
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: for FSU. We had that big rivalry. It's the other
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: big Florida school. But I've been to Florida State twice.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I've been once for a football game and I went
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: once just to walk around because we were there for
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: something else. And I remember just thinking, the vibe here
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: is off. There's something weird about the vibe. I can't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: describe it. It's just a weird vibe. When I went
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to the Rowdies game and everyone was excited and cheering
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: for their team and they're like, rah, rah, go Rowdies.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: When I went to the FSU game, I was like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: no one really seems that excited.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: To be here. You know what I mean? A down
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: time for them.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of a down time for them.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: The one campus that I keep hearing people rave about
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: in Florida is FGCU.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I bet that's pretty, yeah.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: It's right on the water, and people just rave about it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: FAU, beautiful.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, that one is beautiful, too.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: FIU, I'm sure, is beautiful.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: If you could go back, and let's just take our
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: schools out of it. If you could go to another
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: school that wasn't the one that you went to.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Well, it's funny that we played Texas this weekend, because
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to go to UT Austin. I think
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: UT Austin's a great school. The only thing is, I
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: have mixed feelings about schools that are in cities.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't know why.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And maybe it's because I'm a Florida fan that in
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: my mind, when you go to college, you need to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: live in a college town.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: It's a valid thing to say. I thought I wanted
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: that too. I did want that.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Then I had the other experience.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And I think there's definitely benefits to going to school
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in a city. Like, I remember when I was either,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I think I was a junior. I got a last
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: minute interview to be a Today Show intern. And so
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I flew up to go interview. And it was such
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a weird experience. That's like a whole other side story.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But I was surrounded by city kids. I was surrounded
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: by people who went to Syracuse, Columbia, like people who,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: schools that didn't even have journalism programs, but they're just
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: there because they're in the city.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: And obviously they have prestigious names.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: And I was like, it was like my first welcome
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to the real world moment where I was like, oh,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: nepotism is alive and well. Like I'm here because one
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of the producers is a Florida grad. And so they're like, oh,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: UF is a great journalism school. Of course, I'm going
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: to bring somebody from Florida up for an interview. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: then you're surrounded by people who are, like, economics majors.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: And you're like, oh, so you're here because you know somebody.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know somebody.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Or because you went to Columbia, yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, you have no pull. Like, why? Do you
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: even want this? You just want it for the title.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or you're in the city, so it's an easy
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: get for them to just come up to 30 Rock
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and you interview.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's super easy for them. It would be nice.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I always wanted the college town vibe where, I will say, like,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: there's a couple schools when I went and visited that
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I was like, damn, this is crazy. going to UF
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: is one where it's like, you just go on campus
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and everyone's tailgating.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, this looks sweet. I remember going in.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I think the bar scene, I don't think I would
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: have survived, but at FSU, I just remember I went
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: and visited friends one time. And I remember it felt
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: like we left their dorm and within 15 steps, we
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: were already.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: At a bar.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And I was like, the hell is this and it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: just bop bop bop bop bop right down this row
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: i don't think i would have survived that it's.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Definitely more of a party vibe i never partied at
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: fsu that might be one of my one regrets from
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: college because everyone talks about what a party vibe it
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: is and i just never had the need to go
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to fsu so i never went yeah but i mean
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: uf was a perfectly sufficient party campus like i feel
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: like we all partied once maybe twice a week and
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: then you're.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Good yeah that's the safe thing to do cause if
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you do it anymore you're gonna be like dropping out
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: all that money I do like if I could I'm
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: excited for USF because I think the missing piece is
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: like they're getting a stadium next year and I'm hoping
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: that they recreate that UF vibe where it's like just
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: all over the campus or just like I don't know
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: random tent set up random grill smoking Random TV's on.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Like, have that tailgate vibe.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm really hoping that that's what happens next fall
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: over at USF because that has been, and I fought
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: for it when I was a student there too, the
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: missing link for what that campus needs.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: For sure. But yeah, UF was great. No notes, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: maybe zhuzh up the campus.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think we got on that because of
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the spirit of what happens between professional sports and college sports.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: But going back to, like, high school sports and the
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Rowdies game, like, if the Rowdies had more notoriety or
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: whatever the word is.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Notoriety. Notoriety.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Notoriety. they would be a great.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Environment to be a part of because they really do
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: encompass what we miss here in not just the Tampa
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Bay area, but I think the sports, I guess, sports
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: area for all sports, you know, like where you go.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: And if you watch soccer in another country.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's crazy. It's crazy. Well, I mean, even Atlanta
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: United games. I mean, those fans were passionate. Like, I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: think it's a soccer thing. I don't know if it's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: just a spirit of tradition or, They have their chants.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: They have their scarves. They're waving the scarves. Yeah.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: But it is just a different fan base or fan type.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I love that type, though.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I love that type where you go in and it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: just like you're just so energetic. You're just having the
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: best of times doing the most ridiculous things because that's
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: how the environment should be.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: In my opinion. I mean, it's like you go out there.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: You want to get a little rowdy. Sorry for that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Call back to it but you're stepping into that arena
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: for that entire call but.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Also it gives you something to do because sometimes I'll
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: be watching a game and I'll just be like it
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: would be more fun if we felt all involved but
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be like the one person who's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: like let's go books I know.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean it takes a brave soul
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: because I've done it at lightning games where I'm like
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: alright let's.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Go books and then everyone's like what are you doing.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah and everyone's like stop like we don't want to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: do that right now I'm like well.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like an idiot it is funny though because
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: they have such a hype.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Video in the beginning they'll be like thunder.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Or whatever And then the second they start playing, it's
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: like that TikTok sound where it's like the sneaker squeaking
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: where it's like, it's like so eerily quiet.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: You get so hyped and then you're just like, okay.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: And game's going.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Game's going.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: All over the ice.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: That's literally what it sounds like.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: That's so true.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: But you never talked about why you felt weird about
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: your birthday. You just kind of like glazed over that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Is it like an aging thing?
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: No, I got really emotional thinking just about like, really
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: what it was reminding me is how we're getting older.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: And I thought about my dad. I was like, dang.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: My dad now has kids that are in his 30s.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: And it kind of made me realize, like, he's getting older. Like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: he's now about to be 65. Like, I want to
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: make sure to cherish everything I have in these years
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: to come. Because, goodness gracious, I mean, I'm so fortunate
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: to be able to have a parent as I'm in
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: my 30s. And I just hope, and I always keep
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: that close to my chest of, I hope I don't
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: look past that. You know, where it's like, you make
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the time to go on holidays. You make the time.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: To plan the trips. That's kind of what I started
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: thinking about. I was just laying in bed. I was like,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I want us all to take a trip again. Because
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: those moments, they happen fewer and farther in between. So
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: my brother, my dad, and I, I'm like, when's the
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: last time we all just did something? As the boys,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: as a family.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: It's been a while.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: It's been years. And you get to this age, you're like,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I don't want to waste years. We don't know how
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: many we get.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: So I was like, damn it, it's on me. So
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I got a little emotional about that. And then after that,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: I kind of got excited because I am excited about
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the 30s.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: For the most part, I think it's probably going to
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: be my best decade so far. It's already off to
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: a great start. I'm 24 hours in.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I feel fantastic. No complaints.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you haven't broken down yet. You haven't like torn
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: an ACL, thrown at your back.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like I'm going to wake up
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: with like a crick in my neck, but that's what
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: happened in my 20s anyway. Yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: I can't picture my 30s for some reason.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: It's coming. I'm just joking.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: It's actually exciting.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I don't mean that like a morbid way. Like I
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: think I'm going to like die young.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: But I think because for so long you kind of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: assume your 30s are like they're going to look a
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: certain way. And then when they don't look a certain way,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like I actually don't know what
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the fuck I'm going to do for the next 10 years.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I used to. This is so weird.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: But in my 20s, I had this belief that I
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: had to work through that I was too young to
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: do things.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: So in my head, I said, well, I got to wait.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Wait until I'm older. Now I'm there. Now I'm like, okay, well,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: what's your excuse going to be? Like, you're here.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: You said this when you were 26 that you couldn't
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: do it then. You had to wait until this.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: So now you're here. Now you have no other option.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Because for me, what I feel like, I'm like, okay,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: anybody that's in their 30s or older, you're going to
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: be like, Scott, shut up.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: But in my head, I'm like, all right, now's the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: time to get your shit together. To have, you know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: be financially secure. Have the plans secured.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Get a house, have a family, get married. I'm like,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: that's a lot to do in one decade.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: OK, we got 10 years to do it. I mean,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: think about who you were at 20. Think about who
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you were at 25. I was doing this yesterday because
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I was just going through my tech talk, trying to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: find like inspiration for creativity.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: And I posted this on my Instagram yesterday.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I turned on one of my videos and I was like,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I actually don't recognize that person. Physically, I don't.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Recognize that person, but also I'm just so different than
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I was at 25.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: From 25 to 30, I feel like I changed.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not 30 yet.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: 25 to 29, I feel like I'm a completely different human.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to talk about that video, though, because
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: you did post that up on your story earlier, too.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: And I thought that was such an eye-opener because it
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: was a reminder for me. It's like there's so much
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: time that happened in just five years. Not just literally
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: time by five years, but so many changes. And I
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: think that's why I was talking about it last week
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: where I'm like, just year 30 alone. Because if I
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: could just go off a year 29, my life changed drastically.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, what were you doing this time last year?
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I was in a weird position in a relationship. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: was trying to figure out what I was going to
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: do with my career. You weren't even here yet in
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: the studio.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: This time last year, I don't even think I had
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: flown out to Tampa.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think so either.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Because I remember going to dinner on my birthday and just,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I was just very hard on myself of just, what
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: the heck are you doing? You have all these dreams.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: You have all these desires. You have this vision for
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: what life should be. Why aren't you doing it? And
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I'd have friends that would question me because they knew
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I wasn't happy in certain situations. And I just remember
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: feeling like I'm going to figure it out. I don't
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: necessarily know how yet.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I just know I will.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: And then within a year, so much have changed that
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like I've evolved in my friendships. I've literally
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: changed where I live like three times. I'm in a
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: great living environment now. And I'm in the happiest point
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: in my relationship that I've ever been. And I'm like,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: that all happened within a year. That's kind of mind blowing.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: It is crazy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Like your life completely shifted in one year.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: One year ago, I was, I wasn't open about this
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: online because it's just, it was a weird thing to
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: be open about, but I was just, I felt so
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: confused and I was in a weird dark space and
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I was like, what the hell is happening? And then
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: to look back a year later and be like, I think, yeah,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: I'm the happiest I've ever been. Where all pillars have
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: kind of lined up where I needed them.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: You know, like I say this, I don't know if
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I've said this on the podcast, but I've said it
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: to certain friends. It's like, you know, you picture your
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: dream life and I'm living my dream life. Yeah. You know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: it's yeah, there's things I still want. I desire that
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I'm working towards and goals. But 25 year old Scott,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: this is what he was going for. And now I'm damn,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: that's crazy to see. Because it literally all happened within
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: a year.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: But it's also a reminder that life is one big, long,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: 100-mile marathon. And there are some miles where it's like, oh,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: my God, I feel like I'm literally going to pass
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: out and die on the side of the road. But, like,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: mile 30 might be your strongest mile yet, but you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: just had to get through mile 29.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: That's such an important thing to say because it's true.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Like, I learned at mile 25 and mile 26, and
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: all those lessons are helping me now in mile 30.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: And I'm taking that with me as I'm going forward.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: So I was a little emotional as I got older,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: but that was mainly because it just time is going
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: so quick and you want to get the most out
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: And there's so many people that are so important to you.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And I think what truthfully what scares me is, you know,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: not that the other shoe will drop, but you just
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: know that there will be things that pop up in
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: this next year, this next couple of years. Yeah. That
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: are just they're going to take such a toll and
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: it's going to be so heartbreaking. That's kind of what
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: scares me about being at this happy point in my life.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I feel so good. Please, everyone just keep
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: their shit together. Everyone stay healthy.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Stay alive.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I need you here because I'm like, damn it. Things
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: are going really well. Just let me ride this for
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: We know it's temporary.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: For real.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Like, it's truly a thought.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: And I know I'm not the only one that's had that. Like,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: we've all had that thought of like, all right, where's
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: the other shoe? That's how I've been.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Kind of lately where I'm like, everybody good? Nobody's like,
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: all right, cool. Everyone stay your places. It's just crazy.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Like, I have friends that now are doing better with
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: their careers, that are doing better in their relationships, that
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: have their stuff together. And I love to see that too.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Because I'm like, okay, glad you're not in the down
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: spot where you were.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Awesome. Like, we're all rising together. Thank God.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Because it wasn't always like that, especially over the past,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know, let's just go past five years.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: It's been a hell of a wave.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: 25, man.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: If you're 25 now, it's going to get better.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about that video, though.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: We got to go, though, because I have the Q
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: & A in the content section. We can talk about
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: my ugly ass video tomorrow, though.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Okay. Let's get into that tomorrow, then, because that's an
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: important video. If you haven't seen it yet, it's up
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: on Abby's Instagram. We'll be back tomorrow.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Thanks, fam.
