00:00:26
Speaker 5: The collab that everybody needed.

00:00:28
Speaker 6: Y'all some of the best in the game. Man, this is perfect. Glad we got this coming.

00:00:31
Speaker 2: It's an honor.

00:00:32
Speaker 6: So okay, you've heard it. Game recognized Game. Just curious to y'all, what does that mean?

00:00:37
Speaker 4: You know? When I say that game recognized game, to.

00:00:40
Speaker 2: Me, it's like a level of respect, like game recognizes game, Like I know what you're going through, I know what you've been through, Like I respect where you are, what you're doing.

00:00:49
Speaker 7: I agree, even if you're not from the same like field, maybe don't play the same sport, maybe don't play a sport at all. It's like respecting the work that you put in. So that's what I think it means.

00:01:00
Speaker 6: That's exactly what wanted to come off as you know. I mean, it don't have to be just hoops, you know, it's just mutual respecting amongst people's fields whatnot. You know, we're on the grinding out or hustle, we all have, you know, whatever we all do, whatever it does, you know, to make our lives. Let's come together. So yeah, I think that's a perfect answer. I appreciate you all for that. That's perfect. Yeah.

00:01:15
Speaker 1: I mean, we just wanted to have a platform where we could talk about things on the court and off the court, similar to how you guys still you fuight around and find out. We just wanted to to kind of talk about some game in both worlds easy. When was the first moment that you truly realized that you had game?

00:01:31
Speaker 5: I feel like this is early for you. Just got to be early.

00:01:34
Speaker 2: Like looking back, I feel like I should have realized it sooner. But with parents as your coaches, like, it was one of those households we never got to compliment. It was always something you got to get better at. So I didn't really realize how good I was, Like my parents kind of had to tell me. So I think it wasn't until like eighth grade where I truly was like, okay, wait, like I am pretty good. Even though people were telling me, I still didn't feel it till probably like eighth grade, even like earlyhigh school, and I really kind of felt comfortable believing that.

00:02:03
Speaker 1: I feel like your confidence now is just like untouchable. Is that where you're at?

00:02:06
Speaker 2: I like to think so, Yeah, I'm definitely in a really good head space right now.

00:02:10
Speaker 1: You have it figured out, Like you're at the end of your college career. You're like, I know what to do. I know what coach is going to do. Like you just show up and do your work, and it's it's good to see. It's awesome to see you, like just thriving.

00:02:21
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that.

00:02:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, bro, fans respective too asy. I think it's pretty dope. I mean, you hit that flow stick, you know what I mean. I feel like it's something that you have to kind of like work to get to. You know, as an athlete, know what that feels like? Can you speak to that a little bit, like what it feels like being like, you know, in your senior year and just you know, not necessarily having it all figured out, but you know have a lot of experience because you know, you've been through quite a bit. You know, for anybody who's obviously followed your career as far as adversity, as far as the high, as the lows, winning a ship, you know, being down, Like, what does it feel like to kind of hit that flowstay in your senior year.

00:02:48
Speaker 2: I definitely don't have it all figured out, but I think all that I have been through from high school to now, but especially in college, the ups the downs definitely sucked in the moment, but going through that, having to figure it out through all that adverse city has definitely helped me where I am now, like knowing that I can get through that, knowing that I've got great teammates, great support, staff, great family, great great people around me to help me through it as well. But I think going through those tough things really bill do. And now it's like I went through all that, Like what can I do I get through that? If I could win a Natty, if I could there you go handle code to do this? Do that, you go like keep throwing things at me. I'm ready.

00:03:25
Speaker 4: I love that mindset. I love that mine.

00:03:26
Speaker 6: So you know, I feel like, you know, Stuie's obviously accomplished something, and I feel it's never going to be done ever again and winning, you know, for a championship all four years that she was there, right you know? With that being said, like, do you kind of feel pressure in yourself? I mean, you guys are obviously rolling right now undefeated, Like do you feel pressure like to win another championship this year?

00:03:44
Speaker 2: Honestly, No, I don't feel pressure. I think it just excites me. And I think I can't I can't only speak to my teammates, but I'm a collective standpoint. I feel like it's kind of just fueled us, like we got a taste of what it's like, and now everyone that's returning it's like, okay, I want that again, and everyone that's new it's like, well, I want to contribute so we can be there again. But I haven't really felt too much pressure this year, And I think that goes to also show like everything I've been through at Yukon, it's like I've broken all of Stewie's records that she's some times we've had so what it feels like. So it's like I can't compare to any other team, like we're just we're gonna go out there every night and do what we do.

00:04:27
Speaker 1: I also feel like, in a sense, the like the pressure was last year, you know what I mean, because it was like, you guys had it won in like a long time, Like it was like they had it won since I left, which that was pressure on me that I didn't want either, so appreciate that.

00:04:41
Speaker 5: But now it's like, you know, you know what it feels like to win.

00:04:44
Speaker 1: You have that like in the back of your mind, and that confidence is what you take to the next year. That's that's how I felt like, especially after winning our first it was like, oh, we know how to do this now, like we know coaches mind games, and CD's going to be talking about all this other stuff, and it's like, as long as you just lock in, you stay with your five on the court, you're going to be good.

00:05:02
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I completely agree. That's the blueprint. You understand what it takes exactly.

00:05:10
Speaker 1: You talked a little bit about your circle, and I think your circle is really important as far as like getting through things injuries, success, failures, and now potentially the opportunity to be the number one draft pick. How much are you like watching that because I feel like from what I'm seeing and I just.

00:05:26
Speaker 5: See it from social media, it's like it's fluctuating.

00:05:29
Speaker 1: You know it was going to be our FM and now it's easy, And is there a.

00:05:34
Speaker 5: Big like you want to be number one? I'm assuming, but are you thinking about it a lot?

00:05:39
Speaker 2: I'm not. I mean obviously that getting drafted as a dream and being number one is a dream. It's like I want to be in that Yukon hallway with you and with everyone else. But I'm really not thinking about it. I'm not on social media too much to avoid seeing that and just hearing all the outside voices, because I've seen with all my past teammates just how easy it is to be consumed by that and be consumed by what's next. But I'm really trying to stay present because i know I've got two months up and I'm gonna miss as much as I might complain. If you're listening, I never complained CD, but like a CD game or a CD walk, or like a team this, or like just whatever it may be in the moments, Like, but in two months, I'm gonna be like I wish I had a CD walk, I wish I had a team dinner. I wish I was getting dressed up for whatever. So I'm really trying to like not think about too much of what's going to happen after because I also I can't control it, it's not in my hand. I got to take business here first.

00:06:35
Speaker 6: You gotta hell the mindset a So that's groape man. I mean, you're just you transition to a new part of your life. So I'm glad that you got such a mature mentality whatnot. And obviously you know, the years of college help with that. But a little bit of a gearshift man of us down there in Corpus Christy man, you hold it down the broadcast, now, come on. You know, I'm a texting baby, you know I'm a sex and may know I follow follow my hoops. You know, I think that this is something that's kind of new for me and Stewie right coming on the broadcast side of the podcast side y'all been doing.

00:07:00
Speaker 4: For a bit.

00:07:00
Speaker 6: But like, what was that transition like for you, you know, going from players to broadcast? What made you like want to kind of get into this field and just hold it down?

00:07:06
Speaker 2: For us?

00:07:07
Speaker 7: I knew I went to stay around hoops and there comes a time where you realize you can't play forever. And that time came sooner than I expected. I tore my ACL. I have many knee injuries. I feel like I never really had like a truly healthy season, but I did get to play professionally. But coming over to the broadcast side, I was like, I definitely want to stay around hoops, and I definitely want to stay around women's basketball, like being a part of it. I went to college with studies in college, so there was no chance for us winning a championship. Thank you doing, but you're still amazing to Watchie all seriousness, I knew I want to be around the sports still, and to be able to tell women's stories while being around the sport is really important to me. Like I remember games having minimal pace people in the stands too. Now games are completely sold out. I remember where you had to really search to look for the game, and now it's like you can get on ESPN, you can get on the main channels, and so I think it's really important to continue to tell women's stories, to continue to be around the sport. And it's just really beautiful to watch how much has grown.

00:08:23
Speaker 4: I think that it's pretty dope. Man.

00:08:25
Speaker 6: I have a lot of women in my life. I grew up with all sisters, you know what I mean. God, yeah, only doing the family, man, we actually don't. We finally got our first. I got my little nephew. Man, he's like six seven years old. But you know, I've been the only man for the fact I knew someone was going to do it. I'm only doing the family for the past like twenty years now, man. So you know, just it's dope, you know, watching the game grow as it has, you know, I think it's something that's going to continue to grow. I mean, obviously just this unrival thing is unreal. Shout out to you, Stuart Man, he got that dumb you know. He was talking about that. We was talking about that.

00:09:00
Speaker 7: I was like.

00:09:02
Speaker 1: That, I was just trying to score. I was trying to score after getting routed. I just wanted to score.

00:09:08
Speaker 5: Then I won, and then a leave Boston. Just it was just too much. It was taking.

00:09:13
Speaker 6: Clove seen that first hand the least. Yeah, So speaking on the game, man, I'm just curious if you can steal one thing from you know, whether it's me or Stewie's game, you know, what would that be and why?

00:09:28
Speaker 4: Okay, take your time really digestic wanted.

00:09:32
Speaker 2: Okay, I think I mean like Stewie's versatility. There you go, what can't you can do everything? You can handle the ball, you can shoot, you can create off the dribble, and guard one through five. So if I could, like, there's literally nothing you can't do. So yeah, I'm going to add all that to my game.

00:09:51
Speaker 4: Tility dropping all one boocket I like it.

00:09:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely want to get better at posting up. I don't like it.

00:09:57
Speaker 3: To see that, I would love it.

00:10:00
Speaker 2: You gonna have a mouse in the house, That's what I'm saying. I gotta embrace that. I'm not too comfortable with that right now.

00:10:06
Speaker 6: Everybody switches man, So it's something that even even I'm even myself to trying to work on. So yeah, you got to have everything in your bag. Time for quick break when we come back and shouting as we asked us questions, including about another team that's do we just joined.

00:10:28
Speaker 7: Welcome back to a very special crossover episode of Game Recognized Game and Butt Around and find out.

00:10:34
Speaker 3: Now we get to ask you guys some questions. Stue, I'm gonna start with you, Sue.

00:10:41
Speaker 7: We always ask are you caon alums for their best GENO and CD stories?

00:10:48
Speaker 3: What you got.

00:10:50
Speaker 7: Podcasts careful, honestly, they can't get me now they.

00:11:01
Speaker 5: Okay.

00:11:02
Speaker 1: So it was my freshman year and we used to practice at Gampo. We didn't have words, we didn't have the practice facida yet, and we were doing this drill and it was like I missed the box out, like literally one box out.

00:11:16
Speaker 5: I missed it.

00:11:16
Speaker 1: The practice guys got the offensive rebound and he was like Stewie. He was like, you see those stairs, He was like, run them. So the entire practice, the rest of the practice, I was running up and down gamble pavilion steps and I was like, every time I got to the top of the concourse, I might just turn left, just walk out the door, just turn.

00:11:38
Speaker 5: Left, and I went back.

00:11:39
Speaker 1: He forgot about me, and so CD had to tell him that I was still there doing it. So that was like one of my That was something that I'll never forget my freshman year.

00:11:50
Speaker 5: I had a rough freshman year as far as stories. And then CD.

00:11:56
Speaker 1: Oh, I love CD, like she's my favorite. But also so she's like the person that knows how to push all of your buttons. Like anything that is like coming to it, coming up in your head, she finds it before you even know how to say it out loud. So it was my junior year we were doing we were playing in this like Florida tournament or something, and she was mad, like I thought I was at a defensive stance and she wanted me to be lower, and I just kind of gave her like a look like fuck do you want like what.

00:12:31
Speaker 5: You would have thought? The world was ending?

00:12:34
Speaker 1: We canceled practice. We canceled practice the next day. Coach was like, I'm not coaching the team. CD was like, you guys are ridiculous, like.

00:12:42
Speaker 5: All these things.

00:12:43
Speaker 1: So with CD, she got eyes in the back of her head, so you always have to make sure she's like not looking at you if you're going to make some faces. But with all that, I tell them all the time, I'm like, you miss me.

00:12:54
Speaker 5: She was there. I'm like, azy, do you guys get in trouble like this in practice more? I don't know?

00:13:01
Speaker 3: No, no, right, the people she doesn't get into.

00:13:07
Speaker 2: Everyone that comes back says that they're like, you guys are so much softer, You just so much nicer to them. Yeah, they definitely are after hearing some of your stories. Yeah, way different.

00:13:18
Speaker 5: We got kicked out of the locker room.

00:13:20
Speaker 1: Oh my national championship, because we had these recruits and they didn't want to come out, and it was like, well why would you have recruits come after we won a national championship. Anyways, they kicked They kicked us out of the locker room and took all of our stuff and put it in a different place, and then all of our stuff got stolen.

00:13:38
Speaker 3: Respect like.

00:13:43
Speaker 4: Crazy, that's insane.

00:13:46
Speaker 7: So everyone gets kicked out. Everyone gets kicked out of the locker room. Every year, every.

00:13:51
Speaker 3: Generation has been kicked out of the locker room.

00:13:53
Speaker 2: There was a video that resurfaced I was last year, years ago of you and CD and she's like, Brianna still well and that was her line to us, was like, well you we were mocking her and she was like, well you see how I treated Stewie, Like why do you think I treat you guys need differently? None of you are better than her. So if she got it, then you're definitely gonna get it. And we're like, okay, that's fair, that's totally fair. Yeah, she was on me for my body language all the time, and that's why you're amazing. Look at look at everyone know the discipline.

00:14:25
Speaker 5: Don't tell her cut that part out right.

00:14:29
Speaker 6: It's it's like that, y'all, like she really like like she one of them.

00:14:33
Speaker 7: She looks like she means I can't imagine, like super ridiculous.

00:14:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you.

00:14:39
Speaker 2: Need to meet her.

00:14:41
Speaker 6: I would love to make, you know, a little shake up, you know, get a little advice here there.

00:14:45
Speaker 1: Let's let's get like a little workout with CD, going three of us.

00:14:49
Speaker 2: I would love that, actually, CD workout. I would love that.

00:14:55
Speaker 4: Whatever. I'm always down to something to the game.

00:14:57
Speaker 2: There we go. All right, so going into March, we'll do either of you have any advice for me, But Stewie, do you have any advice on repeating? And I know my mindset isn't like too focused on like the pressure and whatever, but they're still like, you know what it's like to be in this position, Stewart.

00:15:13
Speaker 4: This is all you.

00:15:13
Speaker 6: I got knocked down in the first round my freshman year, and you know I left after that.

00:15:17
Speaker 4: See, I got nothing.

00:15:21
Speaker 3: I got.

00:15:22
Speaker 1: My advice for you going into this last national championship run is to take it one game at a time. And I think as far as like just focusing on finishing the regular season and then you get to the conference tournament and then you get to the national championship game. I think that sometimes, especially in your senior year, you're looking ahead, you know, you're seeing what's coming after and all these other things, and how can you plan for it, like stay in the moment you touched on it earlier in the podcast of like you know, you want to enjoy all these things, and I think the biggest thing that I miss is like having roommates, you know, and being with your teammates and hanging out and like going to class and like talking shit and like having fun, because that doesn't happen anymore. So my advice would just be to remain locked in, be confident in what you do, and then go out and do it. There's there's literally no more thinking.

00:16:14
Speaker 2: You just have to play thoughtless planning that I need that every game.

00:16:17
Speaker 7: Stewie as my best college player in my opinion, that's ever played the game. Four time NTBA champion, three time WNBA Champion, two time WNBA MVP, and three time Olympic medalists.

00:16:34
Speaker 3: Which one of them was the best?

00:16:36
Speaker 1: Honestly, this is a really hard question because they're all like in different levels. I will say that winning the Olympics in twenty twenty four in Paris was very special to me because I was able to have my kids there, you know, Ruby and Taylor were able to see me win a gold medal and be a part of that. But if I had to like rank WBA Championships, bringing one back to New York was was by far my favorite because it just never had been done before and the city just has popped off since then.

00:17:08
Speaker 7: I love hearing you say that, as in New Yorker myself and Liberty fan, I am so glad you held it dap for us.

00:17:16
Speaker 3: You and the Liberty held.

00:17:17
Speaker 7: It down for us because it's so you know, they say New York hasn't won it so long, and that's true.

00:17:23
Speaker 3: The Knicks haven't won and god knows how long. Good luck to them.

00:17:27
Speaker 7: But when people are like, oh, we haven't won, we haven't won, I said, excuse me.

00:17:31
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four, the Liberty just won so not too much.

00:17:36
Speaker 7: So that's amazing one to be able to do what you do on the Olympic level in front of your children, in front of your family, and then to bring one.

00:17:44
Speaker 3: Home for New York. I mean, I can't be happy here.

00:17:49
Speaker 6: New York has got so much pride. Well, I'll say you do and we'll be lu too my pots from there. Man, I know how you get down.

00:17:59
Speaker 3: We are delusional.

00:18:00
Speaker 7: Like to me, the Liberty are gonna win again and the Knicks are gonna win in my lifetime.

00:18:06
Speaker 4: Speaking to is like it.

00:18:08
Speaker 3: I'm a room for you though.

00:18:12
Speaker 6: We don't the past two years in a row. I'm on a different team.

00:18:18
Speaker 4: You know, it's different.

00:18:19
Speaker 3: I'm a room for you to do well, but I'm still root for the next week.

00:18:24
Speaker 4: That's respect, that's love, you know, that's game recognized a game.

00:18:26
Speaker 3: Right there?

00:18:27
Speaker 2: You go, Stull, You're also a two time euro League Women's champion and you just signed up for another stint with the Turkish Juggernauts. Did I say that right? Okay? How did that come to be?

00:18:37
Speaker 5: Oh? Honestly so, I just like it literally.

00:18:40
Speaker 1: Just announced today that I signed with Fenner going back to Fenerbachi. They they literally offered me something that I couldn't refuse, Like I'm going to go there in beginning in April and play the two games potentially for the final four, and and help bring another euro League championship back to Fenner back to Turkey. It was something that I and think whatever happened again? And then they just send me something that I'm gonn't say no to. So here, I am going to better.

00:19:06
Speaker 2: How long will you be out there for?

00:19:09
Speaker 5: I'll be there for like two weeks? Literally, that's right.

00:19:13
Speaker 3: First of all.

00:19:14
Speaker 7: First of all, Cheko, imagine being in that Turkish league and it's like, oh, yeah, bris do it for the last two weeks, Chow, I know it's tight.

00:19:26
Speaker 2: If I'm the other team, I'm sick. I'm like, oh, we.

00:19:29
Speaker 3: Got she have this year.

00:19:32
Speaker 5: Was literally literally this morning.

00:19:34
Speaker 1: She was like, your grandfather told me something that wasn't true, right, And I was like, well, what was it? He was like, he said that you're going to Turkey And I was like, Grandma, Grandpa's actually right about this.

00:19:45
Speaker 5: I am going to surprised to you too.

00:19:49
Speaker 2: Will the whole fam go out there with you?

00:19:52
Speaker 5: I think they will. I think that, Uh.

00:19:54
Speaker 1: The E're League Final four is actually in Spain, so it's perfect. Don't be able to go back to Spain for a little bit, mom and have a little European flavor before we go start hopefully in the w bang.

00:20:08
Speaker 5: Hopefully we can get it done.

00:20:10
Speaker 2: Please please, you know what we're negotiating.

00:20:18
Speaker 1: We're negotiating a good CBA for you. Okay, I appreciate it all that you need.

00:20:26
Speaker 2: I'm lovely spoiled, like I'm just getting every all the good stuff you leaving behind for me. You're paving the white sure sure talking about you didn't have the worth practice worth practicely thank you so much. You made that bottle the little things.

00:20:42
Speaker 7: So uh enrival one on one just wrapped and Chelsea Gray was crown Champion. I know you mentioned a little bit earlier playing you won a game then double losing to Eliah Boston.

00:20:53
Speaker 3: How is it running that tournament back for the second year.

00:20:56
Speaker 5: Just try to bring that up. You brought it up. I cut that out, you know.

00:21:06
Speaker 1: I think honestly, I think the one on one is is really cool. And it's like, listen, you have to you just have to put your producide and you go out and play. And the way the format is because it's first to eleven, twos and threes.

00:21:21
Speaker 5: You know, you never know who can kind of get on a run.

00:21:24
Speaker 1: So I was happy to redeem myself a little bit like score point win a game, and we talked about ab Ab kind of knocked me out.

00:21:32
Speaker 5: She literally knocked me.

00:21:33
Speaker 4: I took the charge.

00:21:33
Speaker 5: I think I took the first.

00:21:34
Speaker 4: Charge in one on one.

00:21:36
Speaker 5: I knew that was coming. I knew she was just gonna run right into me.

00:21:39
Speaker 1: But it's a way for people to showcase their skill and show how much separation they can create in seven seconds.

00:21:45
Speaker 5: So shout out to Chelsea point god getting it dumb.

00:21:49
Speaker 1: If anybody watched Chelsea versus Leash, that thing was, they were going at it.

00:21:54
Speaker 5: It was.

00:21:55
Speaker 1: It was exhausting and went down to game three and uh, Chelsea just took the three. She went for the kill and won that two hundred K. So also shout out to Sprite. I know we're not doing that here, but they put an opportunity for us to have a huge prize in winning a one on one tournament. And it's just really cool to see people support women constantly.

00:22:19
Speaker 4: That's badass, man.

00:22:20
Speaker 6: I really think, you know, to that point on the women's side, I think the man can take a note, you know from that, just add a little flavor to the all start week and something, man, because like it was fun to watch bro real real and to your point, like you have to put your pride aside. There was a couple of women who got shut out.

00:22:32
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

00:22:32
Speaker 6: And you know what I'm saying, Like you know, to your casuals watch it's like, oh she sucks, but it's like these women are just that good, right, That's just how it goes, man.

00:22:42
Speaker 4: So I think that was amazing.

00:22:43
Speaker 6: I think it was a good inception of it all this year and like you know, to your point as to that, just from a fans respective, Man, that shit was fun to watch, bro, Like, there was really some good games out there.

00:22:51
Speaker 4: It was dope.

00:22:52
Speaker 2: Definitely was fun to watch.

00:22:53
Speaker 3: I was holding my breath the whole last game.

00:22:57
Speaker 2: Did anyone complain about finals being on Valentine's Day?

00:23:00
Speaker 5: No, that's I mean.

00:23:02
Speaker 1: I think I think Tapessa, Chelsea's wife was actually very happy.

00:23:11
Speaker 3: Dinner on her for everybody.

00:23:13
Speaker 2: Actually, all right, Miles, there's some questions for you.

00:23:17
Speaker 4: I hit me, hit me.

00:23:18
Speaker 2: So you spent ten years with the Pacers before coming to the Bucks. What was that transition?

00:23:23
Speaker 4: Like, man, where do I begin?

00:23:25
Speaker 6: It was tough, man, because you know, like you know, like yourself, I was a teenager when I got drafted. I was nineteen years old when I got drafted again. I spent I grew up in Indiana. Basically I spent the entirety a third of my life there, you know, I think that more than anything, the toughest part was the relationships I made because I had something that was very rare. Like with an organization, I had the same strength coach, I had the same PT, I had the same like massage therapists, like the same people for ten years straight. You know, that doesn't happen. You know, a lot of people get fired and hired and whatnot. Like I, you know, built real life relations with people. You know, I got to watch their kids grow up from like elementary school to graduating or going to college and whatnot. So it was tough. Man, it was a tough transition for me. And I'm still in that transitionary phase. Man, It's only been four or five months since I've been in Milwaukee, you know. But the best thing you can do, you know, kind of just transitioning just you know, from your side of things, is man, really immerse yourself in the community. You know, no matter what city you get drafted to, they're gonna be really excited and really happy to have you there. But that same love they show you, you got to show them right back. You know I'm not talking about It doesn't have to be just like you know, straight up philanthropic stuff. It can be as simple as going and supporting a small business, you know, I mean going to get some coffee at this shot posting about it, or just getting down a week and going to the park. You know, like people are gonna know who you are. You know, you're you're larger in life. More people know you than you think they do. You know, I think that's something that I had to learn kind of like the hard way. You know, it didn't help it out seven feet tall walking around the city. But you know, and the last thing I probably say is is team equity. You know, it's very important, you know, don't don't take for granted, Like kind of the steward was saying, like, you know, just going to dinner and all that type of stuff or just hanging out with the girls, like you know, it's going to be a different transition for you because you know, you have you know, grown ass women there. You know, some of these women have kids. You know, some of these women have families go back to. But that time y'all to get to spend together, I mean, it all helps and builds towards you know, winn to get a championship, you know, something that's very important. So yeah, Man, I probably say community activation, get yourself out there and then just embrace where you're at. You know, if you embrace the community, they'll embrace you. I think it's really important.

00:25:25
Speaker 2: It's really good advice.

00:25:27
Speaker 7: Miles. Yeah, you're also really into fashion. Who do you get your inspiration from?

00:25:33
Speaker 6: I love that question because I mean a bigger thing for me is that I've always just dressed how it felt right. So another thing too, I think is very important is branding, and which is you already do an amazing job. But by the way, just I want to give kudos to you and your team, like you do an amazing job, and just like branding yourself and just you know, putting yourself out there. That's another thing that's very important as well. There's a lot of young women looking up to you, so I mean, the way you represent yourself is huge.

00:25:54
Speaker 4: So it's key.

00:25:54
Speaker 6: But for me, Man, I didn't really care too much about fashion when I first got to the league because growing up, everything to fit me like this, you know what I'm saying. All my pants is like high waters and stuff. So I was like, man, they don't mix up my size anyways. Right, And then as I got more and more in my career, I learn I realized how important it is repetent yourself or whatnot. So, you know, I have Texas roots, you know, so I like, you know, adding to Western flare into what I do. And then I also dress really preppy. Growing up, I was the polo Ralph Floyd. You know, I went to the whole swag era, I know, you know what on top of my shin I went to the old swagger and everything.

00:26:24
Speaker 4: So don't tell me.

00:26:28
Speaker 6: We came up in the same era, man, I know, you know, but uh, I kind of like the mix it too. I call it like a preppy Western like, you know, type of feel. I don't necessarily get like my inspiration from anybody in particular. I just like to put things together, Like I have a very like creative mind when it comes to that. You know, I enjoy putting pieces together, you know. I enjoy you know, looking at my closet and seeing what colors go with this, like earth tones, like making all that stuff come together.

00:26:50
Speaker 4: So yeah, like I have like a real preppy Western like type of like flairs.

00:26:53
Speaker 2: So you put your foots together yourself, ve a style that you work with.

00:26:56
Speaker 4: Not for sure, So I have.

00:26:57
Speaker 6: I had a personal shopper for a minute and she kind of helped me source, you know, help me source clothes and whatnot. And her name is Jordan Cadell, and she's actually really good at what she does. She does style and being players as well. That w big players as well. You need to shout. That's the biggest thing, you know. It's it's hard to find stuff that actually fits, you know what I'm saying. So she sources the right people and then she'll help me put some look together. But I told you I had like the ADHD mind bro Like I'll put like four or five fitts together at one time and like kind of planning them out. Like I enjoyed the process of making you know, fits and looks coming together.

00:27:23
Speaker 3: That killing it.

00:27:25
Speaker 7: I'll stu, you'd be putting that girl just like, I'm just lazy. Get your stylist.

00:27:36
Speaker 5: I'm just lazy.

00:27:37
Speaker 2: Do you pick your fits up?

00:27:40
Speaker 5: No, I just I've.

00:27:43
Speaker 1: Been working with Corney Mays for a while and she's out of the LAS and now I'm just transitioning to a new stylist.

00:27:50
Speaker 5: In New York.

00:27:51
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited about that, just for like, just make make everything a little bit easier. I don't know easy, Like if you had to, if you could do tunnel fits and college, would you do it?

00:28:00
Speaker 5: Or no?

00:28:01
Speaker 2: Absolutely not? Oh my even I'm so lazy. I wear my pajamas if I could.

00:28:09
Speaker 5: And what you're gonna do when you get league?

00:28:12
Speaker 1: Do not.

00:28:14
Speaker 5: I'm not with some pajama pants or I will never let.

00:28:19
Speaker 4: Come through that.

00:28:20
Speaker 7: I will blow your phone up easy. But it has to be like diamonds on it, like.

00:28:34
Speaker 3: Fluffy pink. We're not doing this.

00:28:38
Speaker 2: God Like, that's so much to think about, don't know.

00:28:41
Speaker 3: You don't have to think about it. Hire people to think.

00:28:43
Speaker 4: For you exactly. Yeah, life is different. Now life's gonna be.

00:28:48
Speaker 3: Don't worry. I'm gonna call my mama. You know, my mam will gonna get.

00:28:51
Speaker 2: You ready, Okay, Miles. I see all those legos or legos back there, right? Yes, I have been looked on the whole time. How many different sets is that?

00:29:02
Speaker 4: Man?

00:29:02
Speaker 6: I got so many? Bro, if I can like pan the camera around, hold on, let me see if I can move my lefts up. This is just like part of my collection. So I have a house here in Dallas and Austin as well, but.

00:29:12
Speaker 3: They're like, no way, but it looks like.

00:29:18
Speaker 4: Those are pretty Yeah, it's pretty big.

00:29:19
Speaker 6: That's probably like two and a half three feet big, like five thousand and six thousand pieces each. Like I literally sit here and put all these together. Bro, It's one of my favorite hobbies. Like I literally, yeah, come on.

00:29:35
Speaker 2: Stuard, Okay, which one is your favorite?

00:29:40
Speaker 4: My favorite? My favorite actually isn't here.

00:29:47
Speaker 4: This is only like.

00:29:50
Speaker 5: Tell them it's Lego. It's not Legos, Lego leg.

00:29:53

00:30:00
Speaker 5: Day one. He was like Lego and I was like, come on, it's.

00:30:05
Speaker 3: Okay, easy, I'd be saying Legos.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: It's not anymore with an a Lego Lord. The fandom and whatnot.

00:30:12
Speaker 6: It's like a sin the called Legos, like they're really big on their branding and whatnots it's all capital letters Lego.

00:30:17
Speaker 4: Come on, So I'm actually proud. I'm proud of you.

00:30:19
Speaker 6: Girl.

00:30:19
Speaker 4: Let's not talk about come on.

00:30:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, So like when it's more than one, it's still lego.

00:30:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, still lego period. These are my lego.

00:30:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, these are my lego.

00:30:30
Speaker 4: Yeah. OK, yeah, I.

00:30:34
Speaker 3: Need to know because I can't. I can't.

00:30:37
Speaker 5: Doesn't look like she's believing it.

00:30:42
Speaker 4: Man.

00:30:42
Speaker 6: We go through a whole class, whole lecture. But it's a lot to come with it. But it's just a really big hobby of mine.

00:30:46
Speaker 1: Man.

00:30:47
Speaker 6: Like you know, you'll see when you get to the league, you've got so much spare time. Like you're there, you know, you'll have the only practice maybe two maybe three hours out the day. Then you have the rest of the day to kind of just do whatever. And as I got into the league, it's just a really like it's a combineless thing for it.

00:31:01
Speaker 4: Man.

00:31:01
Speaker 6: I was able to shut the world out for a minute. You know, it doesn't matter if I had a good game, that's had a bad game. It's a matter got haters on my line, Like nothing, Man, I kind of shut the world out, put some music on and just build you know, it's you know, it's just kind of just something that's very relaxing to me.

00:31:15
Speaker 4: Man.

00:31:15
Speaker 6: And it kind of started like when I was back, you know, back in school or back like in the middle school. I probably say these right here they called bionicles. This is like in the early nineties and whatnot. It was like a big thing like these like robot looking things, those like the first real like you know, big lego sets, you know, back in the day. So I started putting those together I as a kid, and then kind of put it down for a minute and I picked it back up. And when I first got to lead building it, it was like, oh, you fucking nerd, you can leave you this, this and that, Like I got no, I got everything, and I took all the heat for it.

00:31:44
Speaker 4: But like again, it never really deterred my path.

00:31:46
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. It's something I just really enjoyed doing. And you look up now and everybody's doing it, man, Like you know, I think it's like it's like a huge thing, you know, something that's big in the culture. You know, people are loving it now. And you know, again, you know, I took the heat for it, but you know I'm still in the middle of the middle of it though. You know, I have like over I put to get maybe over like three hundred thousand pieces, man, like it's just telling you, man, that's fun.

00:32:06
Speaker 2: That's amazing. I need to know how how long the Mario ones took.

00:32:11
Speaker 6: Uh, the Mario one took probably, the Luigi probably took me about two weeks. Uh, the Yoshi one took a little bit longer, team about a month. And Mario was actually a gift. So like I did the Luigi and the Yoshi.

00:32:25
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's so impressive, an amazing collection.

00:32:30
Speaker 4: Appreciate that. Man.

00:32:32
Speaker 7: All Right, you guys, now it's time for our button game section for this button game, it's going to be our start bench cut game. So we're gonna give you a scenario, a topic, and you're gonna have three options and you're gonna choose whether you're gonna start this person like you number one, pick bench, some solid backup, or cut and y'all know.

00:32:54
Speaker 3: What that means.

00:32:56
Speaker 4: Oh, it's gonna be all right.

00:32:59
Speaker 3: This is this first one? Is o d this first one?

00:33:06
Speaker 7: All right, Yukon National Championship Game down to we need one shot.

00:33:13
Speaker 3: Your options are.

00:33:16
Speaker 7: Sorry, I love you. Your options are maya more Diana Tarassi and as but now you know you're my girl.

00:33:32
Speaker 2: That's not personal. I get it. I cut myself to.

00:33:34
Speaker 5: Who who's answering this question?

00:33:36
Speaker 6: Y'all y'all both y'all, We'll go with the one with the most experience.

00:33:42
Speaker 3: No, no, no, both, y'all.

00:33:44
Speaker 5: This is this is not right. This is not right. All right, this is this is who I would say not personal.

00:33:52
Speaker 2: Remember it's not I would make the shot, but I'm the third option in this group.

00:33:57
Speaker 3: She's got.

00:33:58
Speaker 1: This is all all wins right here. I'm going d first. She's like the clutches, I think, and then I'm gonna go Maya because I'm just thinking about when she made that shot to in the playoffs.

00:34:13
Speaker 4: I was there. That was crazy crazy.

00:34:17
Speaker 5: And then I'm go asy. But I'm not cutting anybody. I'm just putting them all.

00:34:23
Speaker 2: It's not personal. I get it.

00:34:26
Speaker 4: I would challenge that.

00:34:26
Speaker 6: I'd probably say I'm putting Maya more first because when she was one of my favorite players to watch and I was in a building bro it was my rookie year. There she was playing against Indiana Fever against to me can catches of them, and we broke. We were so gassed up because the Fever finally made a comeback. They've lost the first couple of games and like, look like they they're about to do it. She hit that shot at the top of the key. You can hear a hind drop bro literally in the arena. It was like a collective. So just watching that myself, I have to put her like number one. Same thing as you know what I'm saying, like you know you're there, but you're not there yet, you know you're on your way. You feel me like I had to pay put number two just because of you know, performances I've seen, especially in the Olympics or whatnot. It was like that's where I watch her the most, and then I'm have to cut you to until you keep proving yourself.

00:35:09
Speaker 5: Man, this is crazy.

00:35:12
Speaker 7: This is yeah, okay, next one.

00:35:21
Speaker 3: Best sense of style.

00:35:23
Speaker 5: That doesn't get easier.

00:35:24
Speaker 7: I see it, Skylar Digckens, Miles Turner, Ael rees.

00:35:30
Speaker 2: I'm going to go my start. I'm going to go with sky I love her style, how she can mix it up. I just I love her style. And then my bench, I'm gonna go with Miles. I'm a little more unfamiliar with your style, but like I'm starting to familiarize myself with it and I like it and I like what you're talking about. It's like none of these is a cut. Like I like Angel style too, I wouldn't cut it, so I don't know. I like her sal too, but it's not a cut. It's still there. But I I'm learning more about Miles. I'm a fan.

00:36:04
Speaker 6: You know you're real for that, man, I feel bad about you know, another question, all right to piggyback. Then I probably you know, of course I'm gonna start myself, you know what I'm saying.

00:36:15
Speaker 4: I've been putting it off for years now.

00:36:17
Speaker 6: And then I also I've always I've always liked Scott of digging Cent the style as well. She's one of the people was well like I of Notre Dame, who like really like represented herself well. Was really stepped into that branding, you know what I'm saying. I think that was very important, especially in that transitionary period. I think of the women's game, you know what I mean, She's something that everybody was following. So it was like an on and off the court thing for her. And then I gotta cut Angel only because you know, I like how she be popping her ship. She talks, she talks shit and she you know, she walks at she did the VI Toy secret. You know, fashion show and everything, like she really lives it and embodies it, you know what I'm saying. But just for you know, you know, for the home team, I gotta cut it for this time.

00:36:54
Speaker 1: Well, I think everybody has the same number one Sky number one. She was just at the Grammys and like that fit that was that, it was fire. I'm gonna go number two with Angel because I'm I still have to see in my mind, Myles, I have to.

00:37:09
Speaker 5: I want to understand the Western style more.

00:37:13
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I just can't.

00:37:14
Speaker 5: Figure out the cowboy you from.

00:37:16
Speaker 4: You're from New York. I get it. You know your Yankees up there.

00:37:21
Speaker 5: We want to Tims and.

00:37:22
Speaker 3: The hats come on suck.

00:37:26
Speaker 5: Okay, So sorry, Myles, I'm just cut you on that one. But I'm gonna I'm gonna go look stick ups and pictures after this.

00:37:32
Speaker 3: And next you know, she's wearing a cowboy.

00:37:35
Speaker 5: Maybe when when I play in Dallas this year, you can help me.

00:37:39
Speaker 6: I got that snake skin, that fight, you know, I got the alligated.

00:37:42
Speaker 4: What you wow?

00:37:44
Speaker 3: Okay, most Guardable.

00:37:48
Speaker 2: Need a dresser though. This is to happen you too.

00:37:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:37:55
Speaker 4: No, we do a whole collab next year You're right.

00:37:57
Speaker 3: I love it.

00:37:58
Speaker 7: Perfect, Okay, Unguardable, We're Hones, Stewart, the Pisa, Collier, Kevin Durant.

00:38:04
Speaker 3: This is crazy to see what we're doing here.

00:38:06
Speaker 5: We're just gonna put one.

00:38:08
Speaker 4: Just a couple a couple more shots and there.

00:38:11
Speaker 6: Well, I can only speak from you know, some experience, you know, like Katie is seven foot and can literally do everything, you know what I mean. His release point is so high, like, yeah, I'm seven feet tall and I can't like you know, I can't block his jump shot, you know what I'm saying. So I can only imagine it be like, you know, for y'all trying to guard him. So I'm gonna go ahead and go and put him at number one because again, like what people don't realize is how the septively quick he is even at his age. Right now, he gets to his spots, you know what I mean, there's a major job and find it where he wants to be on the floor, target that and get there. So I'll put him number one. I'm gonna put Stewarie number two. And it's not just because you know she's my Steam co host, just because I actually do watch the game. Again, like you kind of spoke to as well as earlier that like Stewart can it doesn't matter who who's guarding her or her versatility is kind of just takes over, you know what I mean, So she can just kind of get her shot off over anybody. It's just a very patient game. That's one of the things that I told her, like when we first started podcast. One thing I love about her, it's just her poise and her patience. You know, she doesn't she never looks rattled and sped up. I love fees game, I really do. Especially the past couple of years. It's been amazing watching her come up. But like I'm gonna take you over her just because of what I've seen personally, even though she is a bucket.

00:39:17
Speaker 2: Thank you all said for me. Like I think, like Katie's just like we're cutting him because it's not even fairer, like we're cutting him and Stu and feel like you guys unguardable, you guys got it nothing I either you can't do.

00:39:39
Speaker 1: Honestly, Like I don't know, I would like to see that, Like I want to see, like I know Katie's got a crazy release point, but I want to see like where where my arm is going to be compared to compared to that.

00:39:50
Speaker 6: Listen, I'm nine foot six when I do this. I'm nine to six when I stand up. Like so, when I tell you his release point is literally like, describe it, bro, it's actually something crazy.

00:40:03
Speaker 7: The last one who's winning one on one? Brianna Stewart, Miles Turner.

00:40:13
Speaker 4: But who's all? First thing? What's up?

00:40:16
Speaker 3: Answer first?

00:40:17
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like if everybody doesn't say.

00:40:20
Speaker 4: Themselves, come on, but you really are you really a hooping?

00:40:23
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:40:23
Speaker 2: I'm going with me.

00:40:24
Speaker 3: I know that's right.

00:40:26
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, let's start Herezy trying to get.

00:40:30
Speaker 1: Down, trying to don't get me, Miles, I'm a fallion.

00:40:35
Speaker 2: Play of your strength. There you go. Yeah, there's I'm going to start with the ball and I'm gonna hit eleven straight, period because if my father to get the ball, I'm not so sure I'm getting it back. Actually, I'm pretty pasitive unless like I'm gonna pray for a miss, but I'm not getting back, so i gotta go eleven straight. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

00:40:53
Speaker 3: You got this, just shoot from shoot The one.

Speaker 6: I know you can shoot the ball to like a forty shooter or something like that, like something crazy. But as far as just straight ones, straight ones, how are you gonna get around me?

00:41:20
Speaker 4: That's what I want to know.

00:41:23
Speaker 2: That's a great question. I think my first goal I just got to move you, like I feel like you're I'm.

00:41:31
Speaker 4: Not the quickest latterly, no, I'm not the quickest ladder.

00:41:33
Speaker 2: I gotta move you a little bit, I just know, and just enough space to get my shot off, just enough, and it's gonna be some ting area because you know, I'm really long. But I don't know.

00:41:46
Speaker 6: I just look like this. I'm also to seventy now, Like I just love talk kill stuff.

00:41:53
Speaker 1: I think it's whoever whoever scores first will probably win this game.

00:41:57
Speaker 5: No matter what.

00:41:58
Speaker 4: It makes sense, you'll keep the ball.

00:42:00
Speaker 5: Go with myself. I'm gonna post as up and I'm I'm gonna.

00:42:03
Speaker 4: Post over me.

00:42:05
Speaker 6: Okay, word, all right, I'm gonna say you all, I'm not going this sounds great, I'm not going okay, hold on here about this. You only get two or three dribbles because it's cats. You can dribble the entire time. You know, it gets a little different.

00:42:19
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, I don't know the rules.

00:42:22
Speaker 5: We're fit us for you West Western.

00:42:28
Speaker 4: I want all right, I want to see this.

00:42:31
Speaker 3: I would like to wrap.

00:42:34
Speaker 4: This could be a whole thing.

00:42:35
Speaker 5: Man.

00:42:35
Speaker 4: It's the N B A W A bit crossing.

00:42:37
Speaker 3: H iHeart and unanimous.

00:42:39
Speaker 5: Set it up. Time for one more breaks. When we come back.

00:42:43
Speaker 1: Instead of our parent corner, I would be giving life advice to as and of course we have our worth the plugs of the week.

00:42:54
Speaker 7: Welcome back to our special crossover episode of Game Recognized Game and but around and find out on.

00:43:01
Speaker 5: Game Recognized Game.

00:43:02
Speaker 1: We do a couple of things at the end of my show, and one of them is called Stewie's Parents Corner, where I give parenting advice to Miles and anyone who cares. But today I'm gonna give life advice to Azy. Also first, I'm going to give parenting advice because my son Teo is obsessed with hot wheels, And did you guys know that underneath the hot wheels, like the upside down part of the car, it tells their name, like the name of the car. So now he's bringing every single car to me and said, what's his name? What's his name?

00:43:29
Speaker 5: What's his name?

00:43:29
Speaker 1: McLaren, this, some other Acura, some other constantly named the car.

00:43:35
Speaker 5: So because anybody's wondering, they're underneath.

00:43:37
Speaker 4: I've had hot wheels my whole life. I didn't know that.

00:43:39
Speaker 2: I didn't know that.

00:43:39
Speaker 1: I see look at the underneath, all right. My life advice would be to make sure that you have people around you to help you stay organized, because while there are moments where you can do lego, there is also moments where you are so busy all day every day. So making sure that you have that balance of like you trying to things and build your brand and like be in the gym and all this stuff, but you have to have somebody that's also there and looking looking out for your best interest on when you have to say no. And that's something that I've learned more recently, is like saying no to things even though I want to do them or I'm super interested in them. I just like, can't stretch myself too thin, and you don't want to stretch yourself tooth in so that you can't be your best when you're supposed to be. And that's literally on the basketball court. So like find a healthy balance because in college it's kind of created for you. You know, you go to school, your study hall, you have practice whatever like, and then you have chill time. In the pros, it's like nobody's making nobody's looking out for your chill time except you and the people around you. So like lock that in all the time.

00:44:42
Speaker 4: Protect your peace. Man, that's so real.

00:44:44
Speaker 2: I've got some good I gotta take notes after this one of all the advice I've got you.

00:44:51
Speaker 3: Back.

00:44:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, man.

00:44:52
Speaker 6: So our other closest segment is called now to Stewie, where I teach you something about what I'm into. You know, the past, the lego a couple of episodes ago we did so my yoga, bread techniques and whatnot. You know, I just a mot of renaissance, man, I'm into a lot of different things. So I got a new one for y'all today. Look around all right, class, everybody know what this is?

00:45:15
Speaker 4: You know how to do that? I can. It's something that over the pandemic.

00:45:20
Speaker 6: It's one of those times where I just got really bored, just wanted to challenge myself with something, and I just kind of figured out the algorithm this thing. It's pretty cool. So it's a six sided thing, right. I got a little party trick for y'all. It would take me a long ass time to figure to teach you how to do this on the camera. But anytime you have a salt Rubers cube around, you want to find the white side, you put it face down right, no offense to it. You find the white side, you put it safe, face down, and then you could pick any color after that and have it facing you right. So the biggest algorithm here, it's up left, down right. I know that sounds crazy, so we're gonna go slow up left, down right right. It's kind of hard to show you on the camera, but just remember that up left right cool. So if you take it, you face it with your right hand. You're gonna go up left, down right, all right. Now, the party trick is you're gonna show it to the to the crowd or what. Now it looks crazy, it looks like it's all messed up. So you remember the side that you're on, and you do that six times because it's a six sided figure. So you go up left, down right, up left, down right, up left, down right, up left, down right, up left, down right, up and now it's back soft.

00:46:42
Speaker 2: Write this down.

00:46:44
Speaker 6: So again the party trick, you're gonna do yourself. Find the color that you want, find the face that you want, right, So I'm gonna go blue. It's my favorite color. So I'm gonna go up left, down right. You don't want the crowd to see that it solved, right, so before you show everybody's show them that it's like messed up up left, down right.

00:47:02
Speaker 4: It's like, ook, hey, but I can solve.

00:47:03
Speaker 6: A rescue blah blah blah blah, up left, up left, down right, up left, down right, up left, down right, up left, down right, and it's back to normal.

00:47:12
Speaker 5: Okay, So you know how to solve a ruby scube or you're just not conent.

00:47:17
Speaker 4: No trying trying.

00:47:22
Speaker 6: I can absolutely solve a ruberscue, like I said, I can do it like under like two minutes.

00:47:26
Speaker 5: Trick does not work for solving it. That's just for like.

00:47:30
Speaker 6: It's just when it's messed up again. You can trick people and make them like into thinking you can now to solve like a rublescrim or something like that. Yeah, so again you show it to them all messed up and not solved. It's like, look, I bet I can solve this in under thirty seconds, like now you crazy or whatever? So you get it, uplift down right up left, down right, up left. We're not to cut that part shelf. That's not new to it, man, you know, it's fun. I think Ruberscube is something I've always was in too. When I was over the pandemic whatnot. I tried my entire life as a kid to figure it out, and then as I got into it, I just figured out over time.

00:48:07
Speaker 3: Thank you.

00:48:08
Speaker 2: That's great, Yeah, thank you. I'm gonna use that later tonight.

00:48:10

00:49:10
Speaker 6: Clip where he went up and it looked like went from the side of the backboard and tried to like throw it off through the three sixty dunk and his arm got stuck and he came down and smacked his head on the floor. And as a rookie man in your first like all star environment, a lot of pressure with your pops being you know who he is, I bet that was just a tough feeling to recover from. You know, he ended up, you know, being okay and finished the dunk contest, but like, I'm sure, just like it was just a gut wrenchy reaction. I'm like, oh, you know what I mean, Oh, that was just a tough one for me person to watch.

00:49:50
Speaker 4: Though, Yeah, that's tough.

00:49:53
Speaker 1: My what the fun moment of the week was when I lost in one on one? Like that was a moment where I could be like what the fud? But also like I so you get these timeouts in one on one. So I took a time out because I was just getting like bodied, and I sat on the bench or whatever, and my kids have no idea what's happening, right, So I have like Ruby's trying to give me my jacket that I told her to hold. This is in my thirty seconds as I'm trying to gather my life to win one on one, and Taym's just like sitting right in between my legs, and I'm like, literally, I'm like what the fud?

Speaker 5: That could be my moment my lost?

00:50:36
Speaker 2: Like do your kids know how good to their moms are? That's it? Like I know they like they're not there yet. But when you were talking about how the Paraslympics was your favorite because like your family was their kids where there they got to witness that. It's like they don't realize like they're watching like they're watching greatness, watch history.

00:50:54
Speaker 1: No, like Ruby, Ruby understands a little bit because she she she just has been around a little it more.

00:51:01
Speaker 5: But she like is always quick to put me in check.

00:51:05
Speaker 1: She's like, Mommy, I made seven baskets in a row on the mini hoop and you missed?

00:51:14
Speaker 2: All right, my, what the fud? I'm also gonna go unraveled with the fud? Was the championship game? I guess I forgot that the championship or the finals game is the best of three, and I boy that watching that, I I was tired for them. They were gad they yeah, they were given it. They're all and also like the first game being seven zero and then I was just impressed. I was impressed by it. They were competing so hard and it was crazy, but it was so much fun to watch. Literally, when they were both like dying, I was like, are they just gonna split it?

00:51:53
Speaker 5: Are they like, let's split it?

00:51:54

00:52:06
Speaker 7: I got to meet Michelle Obama at as bad as I had the opportunity to link up with her through a brand, and it was like me and four other people, and we sat down and talked for like an hour, and that changed my life. I'm a different person now, new outlook on life. She's very like she just gives Auntie Grandma like family vibes, and she looks amazing for her to be in her sixties.

00:52:38
Speaker 3: And she'll tell you, you know, she's like, I'm sixties. I'm like I played tennis. I just love to be able to sit down and chat with her.

00:52:47
Speaker 7: What I left with from that conversation was like quite a lot, But if I would sum it up, I learned how much she cares and still cares even after being out of the like after not being the first lady anymore, how important it is nutrition is to her, Like I was part of that generation where our cafetier got rid of like the snacks and the vending machines that brought in all the healthy.

00:53:09
Speaker 3: Food during that time.

00:53:11
Speaker 7: I let her know I was like, didn't love it holding up the salary, like where's my gummy bears? But in hindsight, I'm like it makes a difference, Like healthy lifestyle learning from young so you can be better as an adult.
