Transcript

[A]

Yo, back in person, baby. We can handshake. Good to see you.

[B]

That was a good snap. Good to see you as well.

[A]

It was a good snap. I like how we're now addressing one another first.

[B]

Yeah. Because we never talk to one another.

[A]

Hey, babysitters. Hey, y'. All.

[B]

How's it going? So Sid and TP here. Obviously you showed up to the pod. You know what you were showing up for.

[A]

But we have MLK on today. Like, imagine we do a MLK like Hollywood.

[B]

So this is my MLK inspired look. I'm just kidding. But it is a very important mlk.

[A]

From the floor. Like, there's an actual hologram. I feel like that would have looked really cool.

[B]

Can we point to them like this?

[A]

Yeah, but that, like, costs, y'. All. We're not spending money on that.

[B]

Like, we don't have hologram money.

[A]

It's, like, not in the budget right now.

[B]

But we do have sponsors. But it's not there yet. Next year, though.

[A]

Technically, I shouldn't have even shown up today. You should just be working today, right? I didn't need to be here.

[B]

Well, it's a federal holiday, so I think we all deserve off because even people that are trying to banish MLK Day are getting off today, which I think is inappropriate.

[A]

You need to go to work.

[B]

If you don't believe in it, then show up to work and do your job.

[A]

What he was talking about, get the fuck to work.

[B]

Exactly. But everybody take a. Today's Monday. This will be released on Thursday. But I hope everyone took a second today to actually acknowledge what today is and what it's meant in the past. And also what people are trying to do to change this in the future.

[A]

We're literally still struggling with the things that he was talking about in a speech. Four decades over. Four decades over five, over six. Fuck math. Like, we're still. We still haven't gotten it. And it's actually insane because our name is the United States of America.

[B]

And we're so unbelievably divided, we're divisive.

[A]

That we have to change the name.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know what I need to do to appeal for a name change.

[B]

Divided nation under God, individual. Because everyone has their own beliefs.

[A]

We just can't keep calling it this name, though. No, I'm over.

[B]

I don't believe in it anymore.

[A]

I don't believe in it.

[B]

So if we're renaming the Gulf of which I'm not getting behind. I regret even saying that. BLEEP that out Audio. It's actually the gulf of Mexico. And forever will be the gulf of Mexico. But if we're changing things, then we can definitely change the United States.

[A]

Yeah. But what we won't change is our theme song, Bring us in, tiara. Unsupervised, unsupervised.

[C]

Unsupervised yeah, yeah, yeah we say what we want and yeah, we say what we feel? Sitting tmp of the mix and they be keeping it real on brand, off topic, out of pocket? Anything you need they got it? Why don't you shout when you know.

[A]

They going to block it?

[C]

When it's game time and you know.

[A]

I'm going to block it?

[C]

And we cover everything like harder than us and yeah, we looking down on haters? Cause they smaller than us and yeah, my flip know it's so damn I be coughing it up? You said that we going flat well then I'm calling your blood?

[A]

All right. We are still those words I learned a little bit in between.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But then I forgot them. I need to go listen again.

[B]

It's like twista. Like, you know what they're saying, but you can't.

[A]

So you're on your own without the music.

[B]

When you're, like, soloing it, it's not as good. Like, you rely on the music in the background to carry you through that. Yeah, we'll get there, though.

[A]

Yeah, we gotta.

[B]

It's all about growth.

[A]

Yeah, y'. All. Grace have grace.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We got other stuff going on. Get off our back. Sierra, she literally hasn't said a thing about.

[B]

It's only been supportive this whole time, bro.

[A]

She's so funny. There was like. She streams and stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And she was. She was at, like, a ranch or something, a farm. And this horse was pregnant, and she was just, like, touching his hair. She was like, okay, bust down. She was like, oh. Like, talking about. She was like, oh, this is blended perfectly. Like, I love the hair. I love the hair. Like, she was like, okay, I see why you was knocked up. Or whatever. It was just. It was hilarious. She's very funny. Hey, tiara, we'll also need you on the pod. So I know you've already done a favor, but.

[B]

Hey, girl, we appreciate the theme song, but, like, it's not enough. Come be funny and cut up with us on the pod.

[A]

100%.

[B]

Hey, Sid. You know what brings me joy? Having my protein ready and available in the form of premier protein drinks. They are ready to go. Absolutely excellent. And the taste top tier. And I've had a lot of protein shakes in my life. Yeah, so, Sid, I know you've been in the situations where you've just been in the hustle and bustle and your whole day just becomes one big blur. And before you know it, you realize you didn't eat breakfast, you didn't eat lunch. You're just going, that's so many days for me. That's every day for me. Besides Sundays, I do take time to watch the saints. Other than that, I'm on the go constantly. When I'm walking my dogs, nothing easier than to grab a protein drink from Premier Protein. I'm walking, drinking, walking my dogs. But it's so easy and convenient. And you don't have to. You don't have to remember, you can just pack your thing in the morning and it's there all day. And you'll thank yourself later in the day for having that ready and available for you.

[A]

Yeah, for mine, I. I'm just always like, going from thing to thing. Like, I'm going from rehab to maybe like a conversation with our sports psychologist to another meeting to something else. And then like you said, a couple hours later, I'm like, oh, I haven't eaten, especially after a workout, which is the worst. But having these shakes with me, having Premier protein shakes with me, chocolate specifically, has been a huge difference. Because with 30 grams of protein and tons of delicious flavors, Premier protein isn't just for those who get after fitness. It's for those who get after life. TP and you already knew that, but.

[B]

Said there's no better way to get 30 grams of protein in a single drink. 30 grams of protein is equivalent to eating five large eggs.

[A]

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, thank you for that tidbit. No tp. All right. We're here in Nashville. Like we already said, y', all, if you're new to the POD or don't know about Athletes Unlimited, this is another pro basketball league that we play in in the off season in season five. Season five, second year here in Nashville. Extremely thrilled to be here.

[B]

It's so awesome to be here. AU was the first WNBA off season league to pop up stateside. And every year the concept of AU stays so interesting to me. And we'll get into that in a second.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But the product that, you know, AU puts on the floor every single year has been elevated and elevated and elevated in season five. And we said this about season four when we were coming in season four, we said this about season three coming to season three. But season five is the best season yet. I really think that the roster that we have. And you know, just like the way that Nashville welcomed us last year and to return to a place that like welcomed us with open arms.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And the excitement and energy that's already here, it's going to be really awesome. And I just can't wait to see, you know, the games, the action.

[A]

It's going to be so fun to watch. And if you don't know, like go, go to the website for, to get like a better concept of what AU is like go to auprobasketball.com but it's essentially, we love doing this. We were doing it with Sequoia and Mario. Like, all right, picture this. 40 professional athletes, four weeks, four weeks, four drafts. You switch teams every week. It's, it's like the normal basketball that you watch and sorry, y' all got to put up with this. For people that listen to our pod and you don't know anything about basketball but just learn something today.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So don't change it. Don't fast forward, just listen. Yeah, we've got like a really good roster. I say from top to bottom, top to bottom. This is probably, I would say this is arguably the best one. And I'm excited to have like a lot of new players, a lot of young players both from the W and overseas. It's good to get them involved so that hopefully, you know, they enjoy their experience, they want to come back. People hopefully want to like replace us and other members of our PC eventually.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Because we really, we're on the player executive committee and we put a lot of time in with Megan, with our staff like Hillary, Ana, John and John.

[B]

It's such a collaborative effort, like so collaborative.

[A]

You.

[B]

We work with the business side, the athletes work with the business side so well. And if you think about it like really all businesses should function like this, like business. You can't fault them for not knowing the basketball side.

[A]

Basketball.

[B]

If you haven't been a part of business yet, you can't fault them for not understanding business. But when you, you have collaborative conversation and open minded conversation, that's the best way to push the needle forward because that's where you're meeting the best of both worlds to create. Now this product that we were putting on the floor here in Nashville and.

[A]

Yeah, you know, and they do a great job. Like from year one, I was on the PC since before AU basketball's inception. So going into that first year it was tough to get people to, to buy, to buy in or trust that this was really gonna be a thing. Cause you really hadn't heard about something like this taking place, and it's coming out of the bubble. So you're like, oh, is this just like a scam?

[B]

Right?

[A]

You know, is this like a. You don't know to trust it. So people continue to go overseas. Cause it was a sure thing. It was a longer season, and they would just watch from afar to see, like, okay, how does this pan out? But from year one to now, the growth each year has been amazing to see. And I just love tripled each year. And I love that they. They take our advice and our recommendations and they put it into play. We were just saying that last night.

[B]

So much that we asked for, just.

[A]

In the, like, the small things and little details. You're like, okay, like, they listened about this, and that's going to help make this an experience that's professional and that, you know, pro players are going to want to. To return to, you know. So I'm excited to see for everybody.

[B]

That has a regular job, imagine if you actually went into a meeting with your co workers and your bosses, and you were able to, like, say your piece, and then somebody did something about. They actually started implementing the concerns that you had. Yeah, that's here. We actually. We go in, we're like, hey, this was such a great season. The way you can do this and this and this. It'll elevate it. And then we just come into, like, we had bathrobes. We had, like, everything in our rooms.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There's, like, rumor on the street that we're gonna get a Neato Cube.

[A]

You love that.

[B]

And I'm like, you love that. Need that. So if y' all are interested in following, just know that AU games tip off on February 4th, and they continue through March 1st. And we're going to be here at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium, home of some. Some really great, you know, concerts. It's really cool.

[A]

Tickets are on sale, y', all, @auprobasketball.com if you're not already. Go follow AU at AU Pro Basketball on social. And, yeah, keep up and, you know, just show love to women's basketball, women's sports. We appreciate y'. All.

[B]

Y' all will show up, and I guarantee you, you'll like what you see here. It's a really fun experience, especially when you start understanding the leaderboard and the individual scoring as well as team scoring. It's. Yes, it's awesome.

[A]

It is. So I'm gonna be doing, like, half of the games on the broadcast with, you know, with Cindy, with Cheryl, which is really cool for me.

[B]

Hella cool.

[A]

It was something like I wanted to do, like, color commentating and sports reporting when I was coming out of school. And I would talk to like, Lachina Robinson, Roz Golden Wood, and like, those were people that, like, gave me advice back then and would help me. And matter of fact, Brenda Van Langen, we just saw recently, you know, people who would just, like, offer words of wisdom or advice. And I just ended up, like, going away from it, like, continuing to play. And I'm like, oh, no, I think I want to act next or do stand up, stuff like that. So I just. I left it alone for a little while. But this, you know, I guess opportunity, me being hurt has presented, you know, a chance for me to get back to that. So I'm really excited. We now are going to have the new revamped look like the broadcast booth and stuff. So I'll be doing, like some halftime stuff. So it's gonna be really cool. Like, I'm looking forward to it. But yeah, not playing will be different. But I still, you know, just want to bring as much value and as much attention to AU as possible. Cause it. It really did change my basketball career, like being able to go to Vegas after. After the first season of aau. So I always show love to au.

[B]

You know, that I think that, you know, with this, you know, opportunity, I think we can stick on the word opportunity for you to, you know, be able to come back and so rehab your knee.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But also be able to tap in something into something that, like, you could be interested in.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And as a fan of your commentary and just anything that you have to say, I wish that I was going to be watching the games from at home because I am dying to hear what. What you have to say at any given moment. Also, AU participants, if you're watching this, Sid does take briberies.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, Absolutely.

[B]

Sid to speak nicely on you. She. Some of her favorite things are you start listening out massages. I'm like, spa day. You know, like a new Cadillac would be whatever, whatever, whatever. We know y' all have nil money, so.

[A]

So bring it.

[B]

Only if you want to be.

[A]

Only if you want to. But it's going to be fun. I'm looking forward to that. And obviously, like, you're going to have a different role.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

As well.

[B]

So a lot of people have, you know, seen the final roster and, you know, originally I was on the roster and this offseason was really tough for me. I have been pretty sick and really since I left AU last year. I've been, like, struggling with just, like, different health stuff. And it all stemmed from, you know, having a. Having a period that lasted six months consecutively. And, you know, I've been in and out of doctors. I've been in and out of, like, blood infusions and different things like that, and just different therapies and trying to get my body right. And it took me to a. A really, like, terrifying place where you don't understand what's going on with your body and no one else can tell you what's going on with your body, regardless of how many tests are being run. And, You know, whenever you're in a place where you don't have control over what's going on either, it gets scary because, you know, it got to a place where I couldn't leave my house for days, weeks at a time. I had to completely stop training. I lost so much blood through this process that, like, I fell severely anemic and had to start going to, like, different, like, therapies and, like, just write a whole bunch of different things. And the crazy thing about this whole situation is, like, we don't actually know, like, what happened or, like, what went wrong. And I think that's still, like, very scary up until this moment. But I don't know if there's anybody else. Like, this is obviously a difficult thing for me to talk about, but if there's anybody else that was going through something like this or had some kind of situation where they were dealing with, you know, a health condition that they can't explain or don't really have the answers for, like, I can empathize with you in a lot of different ways, and it does really suck. I was planning on, you know, being an AU and, like, you know, potentially making a WNBA comeback and, like, all these things, and I just couldn't get my health to a place where it was possible. Yeah, it was a really long off season, and honestly, probably, like, a handful of people knew this about me. You being obviously one of them. But.

[A]

Imagine acting like this is a complete shock to me. But you've told me so much. I'm like, wait, what? No, I. Well, first, like, do you want to share, like, where you are now, like, how you feel now?

[B]

I'm doing. I'm doing better now. I'm doing better now. I've gone through, I don't know, probably, like, 20 blood infusions that got my numbers in a place where, like, I'm healthy enough to return to training.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I am in a better place.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Today I'm. I'm feeling better. I have more energy and, you know, it's a working progress. Everything is a work in progress. You're never. You're never stuck where you are. You can always, like, grow from that. And, you know, there's a long journey ahead of me. Maybe that is the return to basketball. Maybe that's not. I don't know. But I know that the first step gets to start now, and that's been a long time coming. And, you know, I'm fortunate enough that here at au, like, I've been kind of repurposed to be, you know, in game host, a community service liaison and kind of, you know, representative that these are all things that are, like, I'm passionate about. And so I've been able to, like, take this moment and also, like, have an opportunity to do something outside of, you know, what I would typically do here in this space. And it's been really hard. Yeah, it's been really hard.

[A]

But I'm trying to make sure I don't get emotional.

[B]

No, yeah. No, we both can't get emotional.

[A]

You haven't. So I feel like it's my duty to not let you.

[B]

But, yeah, no, I've held it together pretty good, I think.

[A]

Okay. But I'm about to probably not.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Okay. And then. So then you won't, y' all really. We haven't cried in a while, so we saw all the comments, all the bitching and moaning and complaining. Oh, they're crying a lot. I wasn't expecting this. Shut up. You need to cry daily. All right. Daily might be a lot. You need to be crying weekly for sure, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Get that up out of you. Release it. Whatever is going on. Sometimes you just need to sit by yourself and actually the tears will probably come. You'll realize when you were being a not great person, you'll realize when something affected you more than you thought.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And listen. Yeah. I have been going to therapy, so. Yeah, well, actually, I didn't know that it was going to be therapy like, that. I thought it was just.

[B]

You got tricked into going to therapy.

[A]

Kinda. I thought. I thought Dr. Jamie with the team was just gonna be talking to me about, like, rehab stuff for my acl. And then we're getting in there and.

[B]

We'Re going over, like, my life stuff.

[A]

Life. Or like, how did you grow up? Or how did this. I'm like, wait, are we.

[B]

No therapy or. I'm getting full extension back, though.

[A]

I was like, wait, do you do this kind of therapy, too? She was like, well, yeah. Like, I'm a licensed therapist and psychologist. Like, I'm a sports psychologist, but.

[B]

But. So the word psychologist is in there.

[A]

I know. And it just wasn't occurring to me that that's what would be happening. So we're a lot of stuff about, you know, how I am. I'm like, when there's a problem, let's get to a solution. Yeah, when there's a feeling, don't dwell on it super long. I'm giving, I'm dropping y' all some knowledge that actually I guess I didn't technically pay for, so you could have.

[B]

It too, but it's all free.

[A]

Yeah. Here. This is on the fever. But like, when she was talking to me about when you feel something, you don't have to think that it's dwelling just to, like, accept what you're feeling and work through it or sit with it. Cause I'm usually like, you know, like, even when you talk to me about stuff, I'm like, no, that's not great. But like, okay, so what are we doing to address this? Or when I'm talking to martyrs, you're like, you know, just, people will share a feeling. And I'm like, no, I hear you. I give it, like a little break. And I'm like, well, this. Yeah, because I just. I'm a realist. Whatever the situation is, this is where you're at, like, in life. Like, it may not be fair, it may not be right, it may not feel good. Whatever this, the emotion or whatever is.

[B]

But this is reality.

[A]

We have to deal with it now. And that's how my mom was. So I'm realizing, like, okay, like, I get a lot of.

[B]

You're turning into your parents.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. I 100% am. And so, you know, Dr. Jamie was just like, so try to separate in your mind, like, feelings and dwelling. You need to spread it. Like, it's not as close together as you're telling yourself. Like, feel it, explore what the feeling is. And I'm not telling you to stop being a solution oriented person, but give a little time because you don't know what you're gonna find in the exploration of the feelings. Right. And so when we went to a game a couple weeks ago, one of the basers game, we were sitting. We were sitting courtside. So we went to like the courtside club. Sorry, little flex. No way. Cause I didn't have to mention that. But yeah, we're sitting courtside. And when we go to get food, we like, see her. So on my Way back, I walk past her, I'm like, Dr. Jamie. And I was like, hey, thanks for the therapy. But, like, usually you're not calling out your therapist.

[B]

You're not, like, acknowledging your therapist.

[A]

She was like, publicly. So when I saw her on the call, I was telling Buddy. I was like, I can't wait to, like, talk about that with her on our next call. I was like, hey, so what'd you think when I yelled at you about therapy? She was like, I mean, if I usually leave it up to the client to do what they want to do. So it was nice to learn your choice. That's your approach. But anyways, this was a tangent. Like, I usually go on, but I have to say that, like, I'm so not even, like, proud of you're not my child or anything. But the way that you showed up every. Not just every week on the pod, but just even when we talk, when episodes. Don't look at me, okay? When episodes aren't going on because your face is getting all. Yeah, don't look at me. Okay, I'm gonna look at you, but don't look back up at me, okay? Actually, I'm not gonna look at you either.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

The way that TP shows up when you've been going through.

[B]

Dude, you looked at me. You wouldn't know if I was looking at you if you weren't looking at me. But that's how that works.

[A]

I'm gonna move the way that I want to move because you should never be looking at me.

[B]

That's not going to move the way that I want to move.

[A]

Okay. The way that you have shown up, no one would ever be able to tell that you're battling this thing in your everyday life and not just battling it physically, but the unknown of what you're dealing with. Like, Sometimes I'm like, you know, I've told you before, like, I'll be just a little sad for you sometimes. Not. Not because of the situation, but just because everything that transpired was, like, so out of your control for you to be out of the league. And, you know, I tell you all the time, like, I was. I was gifted. Being cut a lot of times from the league, younger. Cause I learned right away that this could be gone and taken away and that I need to figure out what else I want to do. So, like, go back to trying some sports reporting. Like, okay, I went to Rice to be an assistant coach for a little bit. I was on staff at A and M. Like, I had to start doing these other things because I wasn't sure if basketball was going to be around, but I was going to keep trying to make it happen. You were almost 30 dealing with being. Or 30 dealing with being cut. And you've been playing in the W, overseas, in the W, overseas, like this was your life. And you know, it felt like it was. It was not. It felt like it was snatched. And on top of that, so different situations like that caused you to not have a job. But then this health scare that was completely unexpected. You remained the same person somehow throughout all of this. And I look back at how you've grown though, as a person, even throughout all of this change and because like, you know, for people it can be depressing to stop playing and not know what's next. But I always look at like our, our meeting as like, you know, like God putting us in one another's lives. Because tp, whether you come back to play or not, like, cool, wonderful if you do. But like, you found that you're such a strong and funny and talented person. Like, you're an actress. We had a whole show you could do stand up if you want to start doing it. Like you, you're so, you're so gifted. And I think people haven't spoken that into you enough for you to know. So to see that you're learning it, you've learned it during these past three years that have been really tough. Like, I'm very proud of you. Thank you. And I hope you feel like, inspired that your life is gonna be fine whether you have basketball or not. Like, and that's the thing that you want more athletes to, to figure out that like, this does not have to make or break you. Like, it's an awesome thing. Like, we're so fortunate to be able to play a sport for a living and not know what a 9 to 5 is like, really like. Or anything. But, like, it doesn't have to, it doesn't have to be the end of your world when it ends. Like, be a whole and full person so that when this thing is gone, you're not. But I just have to say I'm really proud of you. You're gonna do an amazing job being an in game host. Like a co. In game host. But you've got a bright future in whatever you do. And you know, I'm always be by your side. Whatever I do, I'm bringing you along. If it's some acting or funny shit, you already know what it is. Like, you're good for life in my book. You know, just because you're a standup person. So, like, you know, cry about it, explore, feel and explore. But then we, we move forward with whatever growth from that situation.

[B]

I really, like, appreciate you.

[A]

Yeah, you always, I feel like you always say so much nice stuff to me on the pod. I'm just like, thank you, tv.

[B]

Everybody just thinks you're a dick.

[A]

Yeah. And I tell you stuff off camera, but I'm like, you do?

[B]

No, you fill my cup all the time.

[A]

But I just, I'm like, I need to tell you. And for other people to know this about you. I think that when you watch our pod, or when you listen to you do interviews or whatever you might do, like, yeah, you get a sense that you're just a jovial and kind hearted person. But there's way more to you. And, yeah, I'm interested in you as more than friends. Imagine.

[B]

Imagine. So how about we trade our two bedroom in for a one bedroom? Like, whoa, where was this going? We are roommates this year as well, you guys at au, so pay attention to our lives.

[A]

And Julia said, best episode of Heated Rivalry ever.

[B]

So this is, you know, kind of how it starts. It starts off like this and eventually evolves. But in all seriousness, like, I do, I appreciate you every single day the way that you and Ahmadi have always. Do you pray to me? Do I what?

[A]

I said, do you pray to me? He said, I appreciate.

[B]

I pray every step.

[A]

No, I'm sorry. Okay, I won't interrupt.

[B]

You know, so, like, my family's obviously been aware of this, like, a few friends, and I think that, you know, I don't know how it is for people outside of basketball space, but you make so many friends through the basketball world that, like, whenever you're not in it, you realize, like, who your true friends are. Who's, like, reaching out to you when you're not convenient and accessible to be friends with. You, like, learn a lot. And through that, it's not gonna lie to you. It sucks sometimes to, like, have these realizations, to see people for what they are, just not who they were in that moment when you knew them. Like, having a full understanding of, like, everything.

[A]

And sometimes. It's not always malicious either.

[B]

No, it's not malicious at all.

[A]

Things may not be intentional, but it's just you just become more aware of, like, okay, who are, who are my people? For real?

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

And, you know, that's a normal thing that happens as we grow or we move away from spaces where, like, that was our world, or like, that team. We saw those people every day. Like, okay, like, who's Not. Not. Not that it's a test. It's just like, okay, who's checking on me? Like, who do. Who do I typically reach out to? And who reaches out to me? Like, because if it stops from that end, like, I will, you know, take that as a sign sometimes, like, okay, because you don't.

[B]

Like, you shouldn't need to know that I'm sick for you to, like, just be a friend. Like, yeah, if you're a friend, you're a friend. You're a friend. And, like, having this happen to me, honestly, was, like, one of the most difficult experiences to navigate. Like, through all my injury, having something that you can't, like, not only, like, try to fix with, like, you know, rehab or, like, whatever that is, but you just have to sit and wait for this to, like, happen to you and for it to pass without any answers. And, like, also learn so much about the medical field.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And honestly, the lack thereof.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And this is coming from a place where no. As athletes, like, if you got hurt, you were in the doctor's appointment, like, that night, even, like, to be able to not get an appointment for months and months and months free for you to not get a call back from specialists that are supposed to be your.

[A]

Anxiety and your stress goes up. Like, on top of what my physical condition is now the unknown is, like.

[B]

The few people that have studied what could potentially be wrong with me aren't giving me a call back. And it's just kind of like, it feels so. It just feels just so, like, pointless and, like, useless. And then it's like, where do you. Where do you look for help? And, you know, I am doing a lot better today than I was, you know, this summer and really through, like, November. But there's a lot that, like, was learned through that emotionally, mainly.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, you know, I think coming out of this, I'll be able to be, like, a better person because of it. And I'm very. I'm very lucky to be able to use this au space to be around, you know, my peers and my friends and people that I'm close to. And that was probably, like, the worst part is, like, the isolation of being sick like that for so long and also, like, just the fear behind going to different, like, really scary doctors that don't know what to tell me. Yeah. So, you know, it is. It is coming to an end. Hopefully coming to an end. I'm just going to manifest that this is all going to be over pretty soon. And, you know, I will be on a full road to recovery. And I'm looking to get back in the gym and like actually get my body back to a place where it was because, you know, it's had to take a back seat for a while and it's exciting and scary all at the same time. But, you know, here at AU, we have a lot of really cool things going on outside of just the commentating and the hosting. There's something that I was brought in on kind of late, but it's like one of the best ideas I feel like we've come up with since the SIT and TP show. And by we, I mean I was brought in late. I was just filled in. This is so brilliant.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And we have, you guessed it, a short series coming out.

[A]

You guessed it, it's back a short.

[B]

Series coming out here at au.

[A]

So it started with Maria showed me this thing. I forgot what magazine or what it was like either Vogue or InStyle, I don't know. But there was this series online this girl was doing called the Intern and she was an intern at this office and I forgot it. This young black girl's name. She has braids in a lot of the videos. But it's just her experience in the office with people and it's really funny. And Marty was like, oh, you should do something like that for like tweak it a little for like player development type stuff at AU and started getting on calls with Jenny and Annie and they're hilarious. And what has come out of the. The meeting since then, like, now that you saw it the other day, it's just hilarious. Like obviously today we're going to reach out to some players that we had in mind for them and see like, who's interested, who will want to, you know, be a part. But I'm excited because I think it's just going to be, you know, the start of us like revitalizing our on screen stuff together. Yeah, I think it's been a long, A long time coming.

[B]

Too long.

[A]

It's been too long. But I think it'll be really fun. It'll be good like improv practice again for us for sure. Which we haven't done for a while. But it you also, y' all. TP is very, very good with coming up with names for stuff as you know, like she came up with unsupervised for the show name she came up with. She named y' all the babysitters. And it was like back and forth. We were having like, I had a name that we both like, she Brought that along. I was like, yeah. And then I had a name for what the babysitters would be. And then you brought babysitters. I'm like, absolutely.

[B]

Like, I think that just came up on the spot.

[A]

On the spot, on the spot. Like mom was going to be. It was like too long or some shit. It was like. It was like latchkey kids or some shit. But those are like, that's like when you. Your parents. I think, like, when your parents are home, like, you go, you got your keys with you. You can let yourself in the house. So I'm like, babysitters was way better to describe what's happening and that we're unsupervised. Anyway, I'm. Let me get off your tip. Goodness gracious.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

For audio, I just.

[A]

Whoa. Hit the wall.

[B]

Hit the whoa.

[A]

But, yeah, your marketing and, like, creative mind is really good. So we're going over show titles for the series that we're going to do. And TP was like, oh, let it be like, word from the wise. And I was like, that's actually not even the saying. She's like, no, I know. Which makes sense.

[B]

That's the point.

[A]

So much funnier because when y' all see the series, what we have planned, we're not gonna go through it. But TP and I are imparting our wisdom to other players, making suggestions about how their pregame warmups, their ritual, like, things can be better.

[B]

Just how they can be better and more professional.

[A]

Really better and more professional. But word from the wise is like, you're not wise. You don't even know the saying. It's word to the wise. But that's gonna explain. That sums up perfectly what is gonna happen on screen. And it takes. It takes. Takes me back to the Sit in TP show.

[B]

The Sit in TP show.

[A]

I mean, the evolution of it all. Shout out to Kayla.

[B]

Crazy.

[A]

We wouldn't have even been at the point to have it. Like, Kayla hit me long time ago. I think I said this in one of the earlier episodes. But we were gonna do whatever we were gonna do with me individually. I met you, I was like, nope, we gotta do something together.

[B]

Off a whim, too. Met me off a whim. Like, we both were on the chopping block of getting cut that year, 100%.

[A]

But we didn't. Had a great time. I realized, like, how funny you were. So we end up having our show. Uh, we have. It's just like, I think when we get there, because this also came together like we had been talking about it for a while, but then it was time to act and we had like.

[B]

Two days to be because it was right after au. One of the biggest reasons I showed up to AU originally was because I thought we were going to shoot the show there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

End up falling in love with a. You haven't left since. But a big reason was a you. So like days after au. And also keep in mind the window between AU and training camp wasn't a very big window. So we essentially like packed up for training camp but brought it to LA to film the first half of the show. Of the show.

[A]

So we get there, we get to la and when we're doing the first. So the very first episode was the scene or the very first scene was the one in the garage.

[B]

The scene that we shot was us.

[A]

In the garage of the Airbnb we were staying at. So there's a weight room in it. Carly is, Carly's the showrunner and they're, they're, they're hilarious. Karlie came up with the, the prompt like, of our show, the logline was two WNBA benchwarmers.

[B]

They were very reluctant to like tell us to. They were like, I just want to let you guys both know that like I'm a huge fan, think the world of you guys. You guys are ultra talented on and off the court both. With that being said, knowing that we're.

[A]

Into, I think maybe they told him like, okay, we've got self deprecating senses of humor so you can bring us whatever. Like we're not offended by stuff. It's humor, it's comedy. So Karlie suggests that the whole, the whole show be two WNBA benchwarmers striving to become the faces of the league despite the fact that, that nobody asked them to. And that last part is what absolutely kills me because you didn't have to do this show. You don't have to do any of this stuff. Nobody wants you to be the faces of the league. You do not have the stats for it. You don't have it. The resume isn't speaking to that. So obviously when we hear this, immediately, yes. Because what transpired, what has transpired since the show to now, people call us the faces of the league.

[B]

The faces of the league never once been the face of even like my franchise, much less the entire league.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And it's crazy how one simple long logline joke has taken off this far. Honestly, like we carry the crown humbly.

[A]

We started being assholes to people.

[B]

We're like, yeah, where's our sashes?

[A]

But Carly's idea was what made everything flow. So once we get there and we're shooting the episode in the garage. So essentially for the show, like, we have sketches that she. Our. Our writer for the show. So she's wrote all of our sketches and she's was hilarious, y'. All. Hilarious. Jesus. If y' all ever seen what Jury Duty.

[B]

Jury Duty. Yeah.

[A]

On it was on Prime Video back in the day. But she was the bailiff. Bailiff Nikki. So funny. She's is just hilarious. Like, she writes for different award shows. She was on Insecure earlier season. So like, we're coming in with a legit writer for our show. She's just hilarious.

[B]

And also mentor the way that she, like, took us under her wing and like, was helping us. Yeah. To this day. To this day.

[A]

And it's remarkable that we met the people that we did on the show. Cuz like ep that. That scene in the garage, besides her sketches. No.

[B]

Oh, you dropped something. Hold.

[A]

On.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Sorry. Audio Sid dropped her squishy ball.

[A]

Yeah. My needle, it rolled. She picked it up, I tossed it back. I caught it.

[B]

We still got that pick and roll game chemistry going.

[A]

Oh, yeah. So. So like 80 of the show was improv other than the sketches. It's like they give us a prompt and then just see what we do with it.

[B]

They're like, you're here. This is what you're going to do.

[A]

Action.

[B]

And you're like, okay, okay. Never acted in my life.

[A]

You haven't acted. I took some acting classes like, around the pandemic and kept them up for like two years or so. Like, we gotta get back to that.

[B]

Yeah. But like, we raw dogged an entire show.

[A]

An entire show. And I. We were sitting last night. The reason that we're talking to y' all about this is that we were sitting last night just reminiscing on stuff and we just don't talk enough about how. How much of a blessing that was. Like, how cool that experience was. We pretty much had like all women's crew, like, except for. It was like women, minority, queer. I think there were two guys over the course of two weeks.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Monty. And there's one guy and our entire crew. It was. Everybody just kept saying, they're like, there's not going to be a set like this again. Like, y' all probably won't have a set.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like this again. So we were just cherishing every day, taking in all the advice. Like. Yeah. After we finished that first scene, I think they were. They were like, pleasantly surprised watching Outside of the garage. Yeah, because they're like, oh. Like, we have to give too many cues. Like, was it Karlie Rennie, Justine, Quani, Rachel, Andy, who was there on the first day? Kayla, Gina was there. Like, Jaren, probably. Like, it was just. And then you look to see, like, who we had on the show as guests. Like, we had ER Fightmester, who's been on Grey's Anatomy. It's just hilarious.

[B]

Like, really funny.

[A]

They need to give us the outtakes because ER was just improvising in the rants that they would go on when we cut from a scene. So this is the bar scene in the episode where TP and I are, like, working on pickup lines and ER is our coach. So we're trying to pick up girls. ER is telling us what to say. Like, go over there, do this. We're running stuff by er. They go on a rant when we're done.

[B]

Rant. Like, it took me back. They were using phrases that I haven't heard since college.

[A]

Ptsd.

[B]

Definite ptsd. I didn't realize that I was triggered because I blocked certain phrases, like, out of my memory from that time.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But the way that ER was a coach, passionate about us doing better with our pickup lines, it was actually kind of crazy.

[A]

It was nuts. So we got er. We had. Because Carly worked on our showrunner and director worked on RuPaul's Drag Race. Forgot which season, but Angeria and Heidi.

[B]

In the Closet and Heidi in the Closet were All Stars.

[A]

All Stars. And they were coaching us on how to Talk Trash on YouTube.

[B]

I needed that.

[A]

It was just phenomenal. We got Kevin.

[B]

Kevin Sage.

[A]

Kevin Sage was our therapist. Y' all gotta, like, if you're not following Kev. Kev is a just marketing genius, hilarious dude, family dude, which I think is really, really nice, important and cool to see. And he is another one who's like, mentor type, like a friend, really, but gives us advice when he doesn't have to.

[B]

Right.

[A]

He doesn't charge us for.

[B]

I know.

[A]

I was about to say we might cut that. So he couldn't. He can't even get the idea to charge us. But Kev was our therapist. And then if you see on his show, he's got, like, people that he's a therapist for, and they're like, improv in on the couch. But, like, no, this is, like, not his pod, but, like, his show. And looking at that, I'm just like, dang, we've really come a long way. Or we really did something cool. Because these people who are Doing really big things were on our show and like we had a self titled show.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They knew probably zero acting experiences.

[B]

A lot of people it. Oh my gosh. So, yeah, I told you I wanted to tell you this story last night and you said I couldn't say it, Eating me alive.

[A]

Okay, here it is. Here's your moment.

[B]

So these days were really long, y'. All. Like, we would make. It would be like 6am and sometimes we wouldn't stop filming until like 10:30, 11, 12 even.

[A]

Yeah, rocket was our.

[B]

Rocket was our makeup artist making us look good. Yeah. She also made my black eye look.

[A]

Marty was our wardrobe stylist.

[B]

Mahdi had us looking fly.

[A]

Right. Okay, go with you. Go with your story.

[B]

So, you know, Sheeds was mentoring us. She was also like hanging out sometimes. So she invited us to go to like this like little like lounge bar thing, club, I don't really know what it was in la. And so she said her cousin, I think Laurel.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Was out there. She was like, he's gonna meet us out there. Like, y' all can come out with us. We're gonna hang out. So we go to this little bar. We're having such a good time. And you know, a lot of people in Hollywood are like aspiring actors that are, you know, working a job so they can just have a paycheck to be in a position to like be picked up as an extra. Like even just get into the. The movie industry at all.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so like, I'm sitting there talking to people and this one person was like, she was like, oh, so like, what brings you to la? And I was like, oh, we're like, you know, just working on a like, TV show. I never said anything about like my role in the show or anything. And I was like, what about you? She gives me like this whole rundown of how she's been in LA for like, years and she's like, been trying to like, get her foot in the door and like, you know, you just got to stay persistent. It happens. Like, if you're looking to be in the movie industry, like, just stay persistent. Like, it'll happen for you too. I was like, oh, thanks, girl. Really nice. And she was like, so what? So what are you doing on your TV show? I was like, oh, no. Like, it's actually like our TV shows. Like, me and that girl over there, it's our show. And she was like, what?

[A]

That's a man.

[B]

She was like, that little guy. And I'm like, yeah, him. So me and him have this show and, like, it's our. It's our names. And she was like, wait, you're already in the industry? And I was like, yeah, no, they just gave it to us. And they were like, how long have you been acting? I was like, oh, I just started, like, a couple days ago, actually.

[A]

She's growing furious.

[B]

She's increasingly more irritated. The longer I'm aloof about the facts that I'm giving.

[A]

And they bring fear. Fair sometimes.

[B]

So we just, like, stepped into a place that people, like, work their whole lives to get into. And I don't take that lightly. I think that we were extremely fortunate to be in a position that that happened, but that.

[A]

And to have people that we could.

[B]

Like, learn from, learn from the crew around us again. Another space where you were in a place where everybody was building each other up. There was no, like, it wasn't like, a toxic workplace that you didn't want to see somebody else succeed.

[A]

We had so much fun.

[B]

So much fun.

[A]

So much fun. Sound speed, camera speed.

[B]

We learned so many, like, vocabulary over the shoulder. The apple box. Like, you need that quite often.

[A]

Yeah. So we. We had, like, Jenny on there. We had Ariana doing the tarot reading. Like, we just had so many. So many cool and funny people. And they imparted their bit of wisdom was on.

[B]

She never acted before, and when she showed up, she was so good.

[A]

She's just a talented, so talented person. And you just look back and you're like, dang. Like, I really got this experience to learn from all these people and be in, like, a healthy environment. And when I started my acting classes and stuff, I was excited to get into acting and, like, stand up, because I'm like, I haven't been a rookie at something in a long time or been a beginner. I'm like, I'm fresh in the space. Like, I'm trying to. I'm trying to learn, whatever. Long as the energy is right between people, like, I want to. I want to learn from these people. And everybody was just, like, nothing but helpful and they Encouraging us and affirming us. And, you know us, we're gonna act crazy anyways. Like, they had to reel us in a lot.

[B]

But also, Carly did such a great job of, like, if the scene was this. But we took it somewhere else. Took it way too far. Carly never cut. She would not. They would never cut.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They would be like, that was good. We don't know where this came from, but. All right, we're gonna do this again.

[A]

Remember, Carly would have to come. Do not have to. But would come do a compliment sandwich.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

So when we've gone on our rant and then they finally cut, Carly would come over, pull the headphones down.

[B]

She had her. They had their little looking at the thing monitor.

[A]

Okay. So that was really good. So the compliment. The. The compliment. And then give the critique in the middle. And we do need to fix this or we gotta dial this back a little. Maybe not sit as much sexual. As many sexual innuendos in the. But keep up what you're doing and they will send us back out there. We shoot another take. And it makes me think of everything that I've heard from people. Like, when people want to see you succeed, whether it's like on screen or people can look at this in their own jobs too. People are going to approach you a certain way because at the end of the day, whether you. They liked me and TP or not, or thought we were doing a good job, your name is still attached to this.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

So you want to see the people that are in front of the camera do well so that it makes everybody look good. Nobody wants to be behind a shit product that's put out. So, like, let's collaborate. Like, let's get on the same page and work together. But if more people could be in environments like that, like whether it's sports or people's regular jobs, if you have a manager or a boss or co workers that are. We're moving in the same direction to get something accomplished. It makes life much easier.

[B]

So much easier.

[A]

But the older you get, you realize a lot of people are in great team players. So that's another reason our set was just extremely healthy or, like, extraordinary in my opinion.

[B]

I think, like, throughout the pod, we're like, we've been talking for a minute. So throughout the pod, like, in these upcoming episodes, we should break down our favorite episodes and just like, different things that went into it. Because everyone you can check out.

[A]

So much to cover.

[B]

It's so much to cover in this time. And also, if we said all the backstory and like, just the inside jokes that came along with it, it would. We would be here for like seven years. But, like, I looked at the clock, like, there was a year count, but I just think, what if there was.

[A]

What if we had looked up and it was like, we've been talking for one year. I'd be like, how scared would you be? Like, we go outside, like, the car's not there. Like, everything's different. How scared would you be?

[B]

I'll be kind of Scared. But also at the same time, I'd be like, man, a year. Like, this is a new record for us.

[A]

Oh, my God. I just scared myself. I hate when I do that.

[B]

It sounds like a movie.

[A]

Oh, D D what was your favorite? Do you have a favorite, like, sketch or like, scene? And we'll, like, we'll. We'll cover it down the line, but just for a teaser. What's your favorite?

[B]

I mean, I think I have two.

[A]

Okay. I asked you for one. But do you think.

[B]

Nitpicky. I think the flage in the recording studio was just so funny to me with your durag. And I loved my braids and I would look for any reason to do that again. Respectfully, I love. I love the black community. I also just thought I looked really good with the head of braids.

[A]

You look good.

[B]

Thanks. And I appreciate everyone's understanding in that matter as well.

[A]

Marty and Jax got you, right.

[B]

I was looking fly. I was like, dang, why don't I do this every day? I did look like I was coming straight out of Orange's new black.

[A]

Yeah. Malibu's most wanted.

[B]

Yeah. I'm a vomit clean up a comet. Earth is my planet. And then the camping scene.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Specifically because, like, the tent was outside.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Inside.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We were in our Airbnb with the tent in the living room.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And camping there.

[A]

Yeah. People don't.

[B]

The optics of it all. Movie magic is what they say.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

And we are. We had the budget to afford movie magic as well. So. Yeah. Take that, Blockbuster.

[A]

Okay. Mine is probably kids camp.

[B]

The kids camp was his hysterical.

[A]

There were so many, though. Like, I needed. We gotta go back.

[B]

We gotta go through it.

[A]

We gotta go back and just watch it.

[B]

You know what? We can force everyone to just invite them over to our room. Don't tell them why, and just force everyone.

[A]

Lock the doors and barricade it.

[B]

Only have, like, waters and saltine crackers. Like, feel like you're like bringing hors d' oeuvres and stuff like that. But really, it's like the driest thing that you could offer somebody snacks possible. Yeah.

[A]

I'm crying.

[B]

But we need to go through and talk about the different phases of what was the Sit In TP show because there's so many.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Honestly, one of the best times of my whole life.

[A]

Yeah. But just know we're back. We're back together, so we'll be. We just wanted to do a little flashback to the show, get you all excited hopefully about the AU series that we're going to be shooting together. And this is just going to be a time for me and CP to get together and be making more content, you know, hold ourselves accountable to, like, put. Put our art and our comedy out there. We'll probably do stand up.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Out here at some point.

[B]

We have to. We shook on it.

[A]

We did shake on it. And so not probably like, we have to.

[B]

We have to.

[A]

Accountability in 2026. And. Yeah, we're excited about that. But love you, dog.

[B]

Love you, too.

[A]

Thanks for being vulnerable. And Sharon. Yeah. Earlier, I hope that. I hope that it, you know, help somebody else out and I hope maybe even some more information, you know, comes to you. But hit us with the. Your favorite. Your favorite segments.

[B]

It goes down in the dm. Echo down. It go down in the dm. Echo down. Echo down.

[A]

You want to talk about this one? Because you're the one that told him to do.

[B]

Yo, this was so good. We appreciate everyone that's commenting DMing leaving us just, like a little insight into their life. So last week we talked about, like, you know, what was your young flex? Like, what made you cool.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Or what you thought you were cool about. And we got some really awesome responses.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So we're just going to go through a few of these and just share some of, I guess our favorites.

[A]

Yeah. All right. Christine Cook said, thought I was flexing so hard when I cut the sleeves off my T shirts and cut down the torso of this shirt and had my sports bra showing during high school basketball.

[B]

Hell yeah, Christine. What a time that was. That was the cropped look. Before people started cropping their shirts, you would have, like, the side stomach look, not like the under. Yeah.

[A]

The long opening.

[B]

And I hated it, though, because sometimes, like, whenever you would, like, just do things in basketball, your hand would get caught.

[A]

Like, nobody told you to annihilate that shirt like that, though. Like, that's on you if your thumb or finger gets pull back. Because who said to do that?

[B]

Nobody. But it was a flex. It was a very hard flex.

[A]

Trying to, like, show off, show off the bod and stuff. That's so crazy. That's a funny flex, though.

[B]

Pam said that her flex was the original Reebok pumps. I never had pumps.

[A]

Oh, yeah, no, me neither.

[B]

But I like to press the store, though.

[A]

I just never bought them.

[B]

I would pump them all the way up in the store. I would take my time.

[A]

Bring in Abby said Abby Liberation. Bringing a lunchable for lunch was definitely a flex as a kid. 100 was huge. 100. And I stayed with a Crackers, turkey cheat, cheddar cheese with the Reese's in there. That was mine. And I was telling y' all the other day, not only did I have a lunchable, not only did I have a lunchable, my mama sent me to school. Listen. I had the lunch kit pressed aside. Push that all back. So clack, click, clack. So immediately I'm getting attention from the noise off the lunch kit, right? You know, it's like the sidekick.

[B]

You heard that noise in the cafeteria.

[A]

And you're like, oh, sits here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So not only do you feel and hear my presence, I pull out my thermos. My mama sent us to school with hot soup. Sometimes.

[B]

Hot lunch.

[A]

Hot lunch. So I open the bad boy up. It's silent in the cafeteria. I open it up, pull it off. Steam coming out, steam coming out.

[B]

Jaws are dropping, steam coming out.

[A]

And I'm letting the steam just come up on my face.

[B]

You're in a little face.

[A]

I'm looking around. I'm looking around. I'm like, yeah, y' all see it. I'm just letting them take it all in. You know what I'm saying? After that, I pull out homemade jello. My mama sent us to school with, like, come on.

[B]

Dang.

[A]

It was different for me. I've been different.

[B]

He was hooking it up.

[A]

Been different, man. Never like the others, but. Yeah. How was your lunch, though? Would you.

[B]

Oh, no. We had sandwiches a lot. Like, we had PB and J. Okay. Often. But, like, by the time the. You got to lunch, the J was like that side. The toast was like, a little.

[A]

Oh, it was soggy.

[B]

It was soggy.

[A]

I like that, though.

[B]

It was cool until, like, I have a thing that I don't like when things are on my fingers. Like, if I have something on my hands, I have to get it off or I have to wipe my hand off after every single thing. Like, when I'm cooking, I have to. If I touch something, I have to then wash my hands under the sink real quick every time. So no different with my sandwich. But when you're eating just a PB and J, it's really annoying to have to take a bite and then you keep. Okay, so definitely wasn't a flex, huh?

[A]

Love a PB&J, though.

[B]

PB&Js are solid to this day. To this day, we have sums her. Her biggest flex was having a bison. Growing up, everybody was obsessed with them. She also got bullied at the same time because she's Native American, first of all.

[A]

Okay. Not cool.

[B]

Those people don't have on you and your bison. And your bison.

[A]

That is amazing to just have bison.

[B]

I wish I had a bison. They're kind of cute. Like, I like the big fluffy. Like, they look like they have on, like, a fur coat around, like, just their face. Yeah, that's cute. No, that is really cool, though. I wonder what the bison's like. What do you name your bison?

[A]

Bryson.

[B]

Oh, I do like that.

[A]

Me too. Compliment my own idea. Yeah, Me, I think. Me too, actually. We're way over time, so. Yeah, those were some cool ones. We'll. We'll keep sharing, like, we'll keep having prompts like that. Like, you do a great job of asking them to. To share stuff whenever we talked about stuff on the pod.

[B]

So we have to hear what they have to say.

[A]

Like, yeah, we love hearing from y'. All.

[B]

If you guys are still showing up. You obviously got to have some kind of personality if you want to, you know, keep weathering what this podcast is. We also love to hear from you guys and what you guys think is funny, because some of these things definitely tap into what we think is funny as well. So we encourage you guys to keep reaching out and no leaving your prompts and leaving your responses. Cuz.

[A]

Yeah. And you're good. If we didn't read yours, it just probably means you're not funny to us. Like, that's actually.

[B]

Or there's only 60 minutes in, like, an episode, roughly.

[A]

And we only do, like, three minutes for this stuff. But y' all keep responding. We see stuff even when we don't always comment on it. Like, y' all are funny. We got a very funny group of listeners, and we appreciate Yalls.

[B]

Yalls input and babysitters over everybody.

[A]

Over everybody.

[B]

Yeah.
