52
00:02:28,240 –> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: That’s awesome.

53
00:02:28,919 –> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what what incredible run you had last year

54
00:02:31,919 –> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: in the NCAA Tournament.

55
00:02:32,960 –> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, just amazing stuff from you, Caitlin. I’m sure you’re

56
00:02:35,639 –> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: tired of hearing about all your stats numbers, but we’re

57
00:02:37,680 –> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: gonna do it anyway. I’m going to read somebody’s off.

58
00:02:39,600 –> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: So you scored the most points through one hundred career

59
00:02:42,560 –> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: games in the history of Division one men’s or women’s

60
00:02:46,200 –> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: college basketball. You had one hundred and ninety one points

61
00:02:49,720 –> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: and sixty assists during the NCAA Tournament and you were

62
00:02:53,120 –> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: the only player in tournament history to record a forty

63
00:02:56,680 –> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: point triple double. What goes through your mind when you

64
00:03:00,080 –> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: hear all these things, especially now that you’ve had some

65
00:03:02,080 –> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: time to process it.

66
00:03:03,760 –> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 3: Oh. I mean, honestly, I still feel like it really

67
00:03:05,680 –> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 3: hasn’t all sunk in just the whole tournament run and

68
00:03:08,280 –> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: even the entire season. But I tell everybody, it definitely

69
00:03:11,400 –> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: helps when you get to play the maximum number of

70
00:03:13,320 –> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: games in a season to get numbers like that, because

71
00:03:15,800 –> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: we made it to the Big Ten tournament championship, so

72
00:03:17,800 –> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: you got the maximum number there, and then we made

73
00:03:19,960 –> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: it to the national championship, so that certainly helps your stats.

74
00:03:23,639 –> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: But I think more than anything, it was just a

75
00:03:25,560 –> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: you know, tremendous run, and I think the excitement around

76
00:03:27,880 –> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: women’s basketball was the coolest thing for myself. I mean,

77
00:03:31,240 –> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: I’m sure you guys saw the pictures, but the amount

78
00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: of people at the Final four supporting women’s basketball, you know,

79
00:03:36,320 –> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: it hasn’t always been like that, so I think that’s

80
00:03:38,960 –> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: the coolest part. But you know, obviously it was a

81
00:03:41,600 –> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: lot of fun. The forty point triple double to go

82
00:03:44,280 –> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: to the Final four. I don’t think you could write

83
00:03:45,800 –> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: it really any better. And we kind of built, you know,

84
00:03:48,680 –> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: a good lead, so we weren’t super nervous at the

85
00:03:50,880 –> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: end of the game, which was really nice. We could

86
00:03:53,000 –> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: kind of you know, enjoy celebrating and reaching the final four.

87
00:03:55,440 –> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: So that was awesome. But I mean, I think Hawkeye

88
00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: fans were just incredible, and I think, you know, Chiefs

89
00:04:00,880 –> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: fans are the same way. That’s what the fandom’s all about,

90
00:04:03,840 –> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: you know, supporting your team like no other. So it

91
00:04:06,120 –> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: was a special run. And like I said, I still

92
00:04:08,080 –> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: really don’t think it’s set in fully.

93
00:04:10,600 –> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Well, that’s why this Defending the Kingdom is going to

94
00:04:14,400 –> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: bring you out as one of the top Chiefs fans ever,

95
00:04:17,640 –> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs Kingdom was pulling for you too. Even

96
00:04:21,240 –> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: the Iowa State fans that are Chief Kingdom fans, including

97
00:04:24,960 –> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: Brad Gees are vice president for communications here in the building.

98
00:04:28,920 –> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: But let’s get skiate into this chief fandom here. How

99
00:04:32,160 –> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: did you become a chief fan and how big a

100
00:04:34,120 –> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs fan are you?

101
00:04:35,839 –> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: Honestly, it started with my dad. He was a big

102
00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs fan. So you know, my older brother

103
00:04:40,480 –> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: was then a Kansas City Chiefs fan, and then I

104
00:04:42,200 –> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 3: wanted to do whatever my older brother did, so I

105
00:04:44,920 –> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: was basically just tagging along with him. We had like

106
00:04:47,080 –> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: the fake like play helmets that were Kansas City Chiefs

107
00:04:50,000 –> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: growing up, and I was super competitive with my older brother,

108
00:04:53,040 –> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: so we would like put those on and go in

109
00:04:54,400 –> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: the front yard and like tackle each other. And my

110
00:04:56,880 –> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: mom has a bunch of home videos of it and stuff.

111
00:04:59,000 –> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 3: But we also had like a Chiefs vending machine in

112
00:05:01,960 –> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: our basement, Like it was kind of this weird like

113
00:05:04,520 –> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: vending machine thing. But no, the fandom was huge. We

114
00:05:08,080 –> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: always were Chiefs fans, even you know, way back when

115
00:05:10,240 –> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: they weren’t as good obviously as they are now. But

116
00:05:13,400 –> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 3: we also have a lot of family in Kansas City,

117
00:05:15,320 –> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: so we would always try to go to one game

118
00:05:17,360 –> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: a year with my cousins, which was super fun memories

119
00:05:19,880 –> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: growing up. But yeah, you know, it’s not something I

120
00:05:22,720 –> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: just hopped on the bandwagon when we got really really good, don’t.

121
00:05:25,839 –> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: I’ve always been the true don’t worry about that.

122
00:05:29,040 –> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: One thing I always liked learning about is like the

123
00:05:31,440 –> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: first moment or the first game or the player that

124
00:05:34,120 –> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: really influenced fandom for me. This makes me seem super young,

125
00:05:38,240 –> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: but I remember a lot of chief seasons, but the

126
00:05:40,800 –> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: first one I really super closely followed was the two

127
00:05:43,480 –> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: thousand and five season, and I remember, like yesterday listening

128
00:05:46,320 –> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: to this guy called Tony Gonzalez touchdown against the New

129
00:05:49,240 –> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: York Jets at AirLand all those years ago. Do you

130
00:05:52,240 –> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: have a game or a moment or a player that

131
00:05:54,720 –> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: you remember from when you were little that really connected

132
00:05:56,920 –> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: you to the team.

133
00:05:58,640 –> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I don’t know about I was so a player,

134
00:06:01,040 –> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: But I have this one moment I vividly remember when

135
00:06:03,480 –> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: I was with my cousins at a game. This I

136
00:06:05,360 –> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: must have been pretty young, but we had seats in

137
00:06:08,480 –> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: like two separate areas, and one of the areas was

138
00:06:10,800 –> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: like fifty yard line, like lower bowl, and then the

139
00:06:13,560 –> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: other one was like the third bowl, and I got

140
00:06:16,680 –> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: selected to be in the top seats, and I remember

141
00:06:18,720 –> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: just throwing a huge fit about it, like I was balling,

142
00:06:22,360 –> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: like I was so mad that the most of my

143
00:06:24,560 –> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: cousins were down like super close to the field and

144
00:06:26,720 –> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: high somehow had to go all the way up top.

145
00:06:30,360 –> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: So that’s like one vivid memory, and I’m pretty sure

146
00:06:32,839 –> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: my mom was not happy about that, Like she was

147
00:06:35,240 –> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: just annoyed by me crying, couldn’t enjoy the game. But now,

148
00:06:39,279 –> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: when I came this past year. I had the nice

149
00:06:41,320 –> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: seats where you could go inside, which was good because

150
00:06:43,279 –> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: it was freezing at the game I came to, so

151
00:06:46,120 –> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: that was good. But that’s like my one vivid memory

152
00:06:48,480 –> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: of when I was younger.

153
00:06:49,600 –> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: Okay, you have two brothers, Blake and Colin. Where did

154
00:06:52,480 –> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: and Blake’s at quarterback at Iowa State by the way,

155
00:06:54,800 –> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: so that’s makes for some interesting discussion when we talked.

156
00:06:57,760 –> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: I don’t know the Hivey Syhawk Trophy, but where did

157
00:07:02,480 –> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: Blake and Colin get to set that game?

158
00:07:06,080 –> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: I think Blake was Blake was down with my other

159
00:07:09,000 –> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: older boy cousins by like the field area. I think

160
00:07:12,080 –> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: Colin was up with me because he was too young

161
00:07:13,920 –> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: to even remember, I’m sure, but yeah, that’s why I

162
00:07:16,240 –> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: was the most mad, because I was like, how do

163
00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: they all my older boy cousins get to do this?

164
00:07:19,600 –> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: And I wanted to do whatever they were and they

165
00:07:21,320 –> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: wanted nothing to do with me. That’s why I got

166
00:07:24,280 –> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: picked on. I got bullied. But I give that a

167
00:07:26,920 –> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: lot of credit for who I am, because you know,

168
00:07:28,360 –> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: at family events, we’d always be out in the front yard,

169
00:07:30,360 –> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: playing basketball, playing whatever, and they did not take it

170
00:07:33,320 –> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: easy out on me. It usually ended in tears, so

171
00:07:36,400 –> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: pretty similar situation at the Chiefs games.

172
00:07:40,080 –> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: You’ve touched on this a bit, but how much of

173
00:07:42,480 –> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: a family deal was this for you growing up where

174
00:07:45,480 –> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: it’s Sunday, everyone gets around the TV and watches the

175
00:07:47,880 –> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: Chiefs game.

176
00:07:48,480 –> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it was always a big deal. My dad

177
00:07:51,000 –> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: always had them on, whether we were in the basement,

178
00:07:52,920 –> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 3: whether we were upstairs. A lot of times my family

179
00:07:55,240 –> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: would be cooking. My mom is like the best chef

180
00:07:57,240 –> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: of all time, so she would oftentimes make really good

181
00:07:59,880 –> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: food while we were watching. But that’s what I really

182
00:08:02,200 –> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: looked forward to most on Sundays. You know, there wasn’t

183
00:08:04,320 –> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: obviously college sports, but you know, we would be watching

184
00:08:06,960 –> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: the Chiefs and I would be upset if they lost,

185
00:08:09,360 –> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: and I still am, like every Sunday, that’s what usually

186
00:08:12,360 –> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: the brightest part of my day is turned it on

187
00:08:14,200 –> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: the TV and watching the Chiefs. And I don’t know,

188
00:08:16,880 –> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: I think it’s kind of similar to how I play

189
00:08:18,720 –> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: as you know, offensive firepower. It’s exciting, it’s not you know,

190
00:08:22,400 –> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: usually what you see on the football field is just

191
00:08:24,120 –> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: so many different exciting plays, and that’s kind of how

192
00:08:26,280 –> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: I play basketball too, So I think that’s why I’m

193
00:08:28,880 –> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: kind of drawn to it in a way.

194
00:08:30,880 –> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: Well, you’ve been compared to Patrick Mahomes’s game. We’ll get

195
00:08:33,640 –> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: into that in a second. And I just talked to

196
00:08:35,640 –> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Patrick about you actually a couple of weeks ago when

197
00:08:38,240 –> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: we were in Tyler, Texas, but you mentioned coming to

198
00:08:40,920 –> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: a game every year. You actually got to come to

199
00:08:43,720 –> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: the Seattle game on Christmas Eve? Okay, how did you

200
00:08:47,400 –> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: work that out? And it was one of the coldest

201
00:08:49,520 –> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: games in Arrowhead Stadium Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium history.

202
00:08:53,760 –> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely picked the wrong game because it’s absolutely freezing,

203
00:08:57,640 –> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: but it was still a really, really good time and

204
00:08:59,000 –> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: obviously Christmas Eve, so you know, I had a break

205
00:09:01,559 –> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: from basketball in the middle of basketball season, so we

206
00:09:03,440 –> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 3: had to definitely make it over for a game. And

207
00:09:05,640 –> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: my guy Chris Jones had the hook up with the

208
00:09:07,679 –> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: tickets and then Brett Viach got us on the field,

209
00:09:10,200 –> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: which my brothers were just like just in a daze.

210
00:09:13,440 –> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 3: They thought it was the coolest thing of all time,

211
00:09:15,120 –> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: which was super cool. And my dad, he’s my dad’s

212
00:09:18,040 –> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: also a super big Royals fan and I probably told

213
00:09:20,160 –> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: you that. So obviously we were right next to the

214
00:09:21,920 –> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 3: Royal Stadium, so they were loving it. But I had

215
00:09:24,720 –> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: on like three layers. I had like footwarmers in my shoes,

216
00:09:28,360 –> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: hand warmers, but no, it was super cool. I gotta

217
00:09:31,800 –> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: sign Chris Jones jersey. It’s hanging up in my room

218
00:09:34,800 –> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: back home in Des Moines, so that’s pretty cool. But no,

219
00:09:37,559 –> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: he’s awesome and honestly a lot of the guys Chris Patrick,

220
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: they’ve reached out to me since my seasons ended, and

221
00:09:43,760 –> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: even you know, through our journey throughout the tournament, and

222
00:09:46,280 –> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: I know they were supporting and watching. I think Chris

223
00:09:48,440 –> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: is one of the biggest iowamen’s basketball fans now, so

224
00:09:52,040 –> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 3: that’s pretty cool. But yeah, we picked a really, really

225
00:09:55,800 –> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: cold game to come.

226
00:09:56,679 –> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: To and he’s also loving it. As a Mississippi State

227
00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: guy that you beat South Carolina, so he was always

228
00:10:01,559 –> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: down with that. Yeah as well. So I mean Deucet,

229
00:10:05,800 –> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: So I gotta come clean here because I’ve known coach

230
00:10:07,880 –> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: Blueter a long time. She’s amazing, and that whole staff,

231
00:10:11,080 –> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: it’s all those gals. Did you sneak away or did

232
00:10:15,080 –> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: you get some time? And she’s going, oh my gosh,

233
00:10:17,080 –> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: Caitlin’s there and it’s minus ten, like she’s gonna get

234
00:10:19,920 –> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: bronchitis like get home wrapper and bubble rapp. Yeah.

235
00:10:23,920 –> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: No, she she gives us a good chunk of like

236
00:10:26,400 –> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: like four days off around Christmas. So she was actually

237
00:10:29,520 –> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: excited I was going to the game. You know. She

238
00:10:32,120 –> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: kind of was like, you need to get away and

239
00:10:33,920 –> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: do something fun with your family, which was really awesome

240
00:10:36,440 –> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: of her. So, yeah, it was a fun little trip

241
00:10:39,679 –> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: for the fam. I know, we woke up really early

242
00:10:41,400 –> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 3: because what was that It was an earlier game, wasn’t it.

243
00:10:44,040 –> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Yes, it was one of the rare noon games we had.

244
00:10:46,400 –> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a noon game, but I was trying

245
00:10:48,320 –> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: to go between inside and outside, so I wasn’t getting

246
00:10:50,559 –> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: super cold and super sick, but you know, I was

247
00:10:52,640 –> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: super bundled up. And No, it was a fun, fun game.

248
00:10:55,520 –> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe come to a warmer one this year before

249
00:10:58,040 –> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 3: basketball season kicks off, And that.

250
00:10:59,559 –> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Was the game I banged the drum and did the

251
00:11:01,320 –> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: first couple of trash at the top. I would have

252
00:11:04,000 –> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: gladly shared that duty with you if I’d have known

253
00:11:06,559 –> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: you were there.

254
00:11:08,120 –> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: Got it? We got next season?

255
00:11:09,800 –> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: There we go, there we go. We’re in Kaitlyn Clark

256
00:11:12,080 –> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: banging the drum.

257
00:11:12,840 –> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: I think it’d be awesome. Maybe a September game.

258
00:11:14,679 –> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember watching that. I’m like hitting my dad.

259
00:11:17,480 –> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: I’m like, Mitch’s calling the game from up there.

260
00:11:20,800 –> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: He’s crazy.

261
00:11:21,520 –> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: We thought, well, I think it’s great that your brothers

262
00:11:23,920 –> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: would bully you growing up. And then all of a sudden,

263
00:11:26,320 –> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: you get a phone call. Hey, guys, it’s Chris Jones.

264
00:11:28,600 –> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: You want to go to the Chiefs game? Like it’s

265
00:11:30,800 –> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: going to be awesome?

266
00:11:31,520 –> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: Right?

267
00:11:32,400 –> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, no, my brothers they’re now my biggest fans.

268
00:11:35,679 –> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: And even though my brother was playing football at Iowa State,

269
00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: he’s not graduating this spring with his masters, but so

270
00:11:41,400 –> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 3: he’ll be done, so that’ll be really weird that I

271
00:11:43,000 –> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: won’t have, you know, a sibling in the family playing

272
00:11:45,080 –> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: football anymore. But no, they thought it was the coolest thing.

273
00:11:48,200 –> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: My brother was just all about it. He would have

274
00:11:50,440 –> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: stayed for three games in the freezing cold, that’s how

275
00:11:53,360 –> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: much he loved Chiefs. But yeah, I know they’re they’re

276
00:11:56,720 –> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: the best. They’re my biggest fans. I’m sure you guys

277
00:11:59,040 –> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 3: saw them on ESPN. ESPN loves to put them, put

278
00:12:01,840 –> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: them on the camera. They get really into it, and

279
00:12:04,120 –> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: you know, they have my back, which is like the

280
00:12:06,040 –> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: coolest thing, you know, I grew up competing against them

281
00:12:08,160 –> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: and they probably made me the person I am. But

282
00:12:10,400 –> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: you know now they’re my biggest fans. They travel around

283
00:12:12,840 –> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: to all my games, so pretty cool memories I get

284
00:12:15,960 –> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: to share with them.

285
00:12:17,000 –> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: That’s awesome. Well, you mentioned that you had a bit

286
00:12:18,800 –> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: of a break and that’s why you were able to

287
00:12:20,160 –> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: come to the Seattle game. You did not have a

288
00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: break during the playoffs for the Chiefs because you were

289
00:12:25,000 –> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: in the thick of your Big ten schedule. So the

290
00:12:27,800 –> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: Monday after the win over the Jaguars and the playoffs

291
00:12:30,800 –> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs and heading into the AFC tititle game,

292
00:12:33,280 –> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: we were all on Patrick Mahomes’s ankle watch all week.

293
00:12:36,360 –> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: But you had some games to worry about. You played

294
00:12:38,240 –> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: number two Ohio State on the road and one. The

295
00:12:41,480 –> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: day before the AFC title game, you played Nebraska and one,

296
00:12:45,240 –> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: and then a few days after the AFC Championship game

297
00:12:48,000 –> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: you played number eight Maryland and one. The point is

298
00:12:51,120 –> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: you were really busy during this playoff run. Were you

299
00:12:53,720 –> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: able to follow it at all? And if so, how

300
00:12:55,600 –> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: did you maintain your sanity throughout it?

301
00:12:57,840 –> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, I always make time to watch. And also

302
00:13:00,800 –> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: we have another like huge, huge, Chiefs fan on our team,

303
00:13:03,800 –> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: and one of our managers is a huge Chiefs fan.

304
00:13:06,000 –> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: He actually came to the game with our family. His

305
00:13:08,520 –> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: family came when we came to the Seattle game. So

306
00:13:10,840 –> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: it’s fun. I get to share those moments with my

307
00:13:12,480 –> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: teammates too. So we’re always making time to watch the games.

308
00:13:14,960 –> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: And even if the game starts during practice or something

309
00:13:17,760 –> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: like that, like we’ll go to our meal after practice

310
00:13:20,000 –> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: and have make sure the managers turn all the TV’s on.

311
00:13:22,200 –> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 3: But no, I always make sure to watch. But I

312
00:13:25,000 –> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: think we actually played during one of the games, and

313
00:13:27,960 –> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: I remember when I first got back to the locker room,

314
00:13:30,080 –> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: I was like Mollie, like, what was the score?

315
00:13:32,280 –> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: What was the final score?

316
00:13:33,120 –> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: Like did we win? Like it was like one of

317
00:13:35,400 –> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: the first things I was checking in. She like, she’s

318
00:13:37,400 –> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: a huge Chiefs fan, Mollie David. She came off the

319
00:13:40,040 –> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: bench for us, was one of like our six sixth

320
00:13:41,840 –> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: player off the bench, and she like always knows she

321
00:13:44,800 –> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: knows all the stats. Like we’ll be on the way

322
00:13:47,120 –> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 3: to the game and she’ll like have her phone pulled

323
00:13:49,400 –> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: up watching the Chiefs game and we’re gonna go tip

324
00:13:52,280 –> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: off in like an hour and a half. And she’s

325
00:13:54,280 –> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: dialed into the Chiefs game. So no, it’s awesome, but yeah,

326
00:13:57,320 –> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 3: I was definitely able to follow. Then obviously went in

327
00:14:00,640 –> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Nothing like it. Wish I could have

328
00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: been at that, but it was a little busy.

329
00:14:04,760 –> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: Let me get to that. But can’t you hear all

330
00:14:07,600 –> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: the Kingdom defenders around there going, Yeah, that’s what we want.

331
00:14:10,520 –> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: Those those are our kind of fans. Even your competitors

332
00:14:14,280 –> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: like Sarah Beth Geldner plays. I played at Drake. She

333
00:14:17,080 –> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: just a great three point shooter, made the three pointer

334
00:14:19,560 –> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: to tie it against Louisville NANCA tournament. She’s a gigantic

335
00:14:22,720 –> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: Chase fan. I mean, could there be even during a

336
00:14:25,040 –> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: game like she’s Guarden, You’re going, hey, did you see

337
00:14:27,400 –> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: the play Mahomes made?

338
00:14:28,680 –> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: Or I mean I didn’t know she was a huge

339
00:14:31,320 –> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: Chiefs fan. But Drake’s coming to our place next year,

340
00:14:33,760 –> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: so I’m definitely gonna have to ask her about that

341
00:14:35,560 –> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: mid game. Maybe she’ll be guarding me. But no, obviously,

342
00:14:39,640 –> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: Drake is the school basically that I grew up watching,

343
00:14:42,360 –> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: so big fans of them. They took us to overtime

344
00:14:45,320 –> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: this year. That was not an easy game at Drake,

345
00:14:48,160 –> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, she had a huge one versus Louisville. And

346
00:14:50,000 –> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: it’s kind of funny because then we went on to

347
00:14:52,000 –> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: play Louisville to go to the to the Final four

348
00:14:54,400 –> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: and we beat him. So I didn’t know that, but

349
00:14:56,360 –> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 3: now you gave me a good point to talk about

350
00:14:58,040 –> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: during the next time we play.

351
00:14:59,120 –> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: Him if you do it during the game going, hey,

352
00:15:01,560 –> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: did you see Okay? Now it’s February the twelfth. We’re

353
00:15:05,120 –> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: in Glendale, Arizona. Matt and I are getting ready Chiefs

354
00:15:07,880 –> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles. Can the Chiefs win Super Bowl

355
00:15:10,280 –> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: fifty seven? You were playing that day? What was that

356
00:15:14,960 –> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: day like for you and your Brotherssh?

357
00:15:18,640 –> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: Who were I don’t even remember is Rutgers?

358
00:15:20,680 –> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: I looked it up. You guys won by fifty Oh okay,

359
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: and I think it’s Routers because Pacheco would come in

360
00:15:25,720 –> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: here and like dash my head. Michael Burton I got

361
00:15:28,560 –> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Chris was Yeah.

362
00:15:29,240 –> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: They were a really young team, so we played them

363
00:15:31,000 –> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: at home. I think it was an earlier day game,

364
00:15:33,440 –> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: so I was definitely home by the time I got

365
00:15:35,280 –> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: to watch the Chiefs game. And some of our men’s

366
00:15:38,120 –> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: basketball players are really really big Eagles fans, so I

367
00:15:41,320 –> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: was a lot of crap all week are, so I

368
00:15:44,760 –> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: needed my Chiefs to back me up. It was a really,

369
00:15:46,640 –> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: really big deal. And then obviously Rihanna at the halftime show.

370
00:15:49,760 –> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: You couldn’t ask for a better super Bowl win, honestly,

371
00:15:53,240 –> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: but I think it was one of the best Super

372
00:15:55,560 –> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 3: Bowls of all time. A tremendous game. You know, I

373
00:15:58,800 –> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: was never flustered Patch. I knew his ankle was gonna

374
00:16:01,720 –> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: be fineal along. I wasn’t worried. Some of our players

375
00:16:04,160 –> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: were hurt. Doesn’t bother us Patrick. Patrick just just gets

376
00:16:07,680 –> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: the job done. He’s a man.

377
00:16:09,600 –> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: We love the halftime shows you did because it gave

378
00:16:11,880 –> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: extra time for Patrick’s ankle to Yeah, so yeah, we

379
00:16:15,480 –> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: will think her forever.

380
00:16:17,200 –> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

381
00:16:18,040 –> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

382
00:16:18,480 –> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: Is the halftime show longer when you go to the

383
00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, or is like halftime longer?

384
00:16:22,360 –> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: It is like five times longer. Yeah, it’s thirty minutes,

385
00:16:26,600 –> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: and we petitioned for it to be like even double

386
00:16:29,480 –> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: longer this year. It’s like, just wait till Patrick’s ankle’s

387
00:16:31,800 –> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: ready and then yeah, another one more song, one more song.

388
00:16:35,040 –> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: That’s awesome.

389
00:16:35,760 –> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: So the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. It was obviously incredible.

390
00:16:39,200 –> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: You’re still going on with your season and then on

391
00:16:42,080 –> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: February twenty sixth, you nail a three to beat number

392
00:16:45,280 –> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: two Indiana as time expires. Just an amazing moment, an

393
00:16:48,880 –> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: amazing play. George just Kittle tweets at you, and then

394
00:16:51,840 –> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, the MVP of the Super Bowl, one of

395
00:16:54,520 –> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: your favorite players, obviously tweets it you and calls you

396
00:16:57,320 –> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: a dog a dawg. What was it like getting that notification?

397
00:17:01,960 –> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: That’s pretty cool anytime somebody like that tweets at you,

398
00:17:05,520 –> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 3: even George Kittle, Patrick Mahomes, really whoever. It is like,

399
00:17:08,720 –> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 3: those are the people you still look up to and

400
00:17:10,520 –> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: idolize and think, you know, are the coolest people in

401
00:17:13,000 –> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: the world. And obviously, no matter the spotlight I’m in,

402
00:17:16,119 –> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: I always still will have people I idolize, whether it’s

403
00:17:18,000 –> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: in the NBA, w NBA, NFL, things like that. So

404
00:17:21,520 –> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: it kind of took me back for a second. And

405
00:17:23,520 –> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: obviously George Kittle and Iowa, Iowa grad was a beast

406
00:17:26,720 –> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 3: here and actually his wife played basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes,

407
00:17:30,480 –> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: which was which is a super cool, fun fact too,

408
00:17:32,359 –> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: but super cool. And I think honestly Iowa fans I’ve

409
00:17:35,800 –> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: made them even Chiefs fans because they know how much

410
00:17:38,119 –> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: I love the Chiefs. So they’re like, well, we got

411
00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: to watch whatever Caitlyn watches. And now all of them

412
00:17:42,560 –> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: are saying, we got to get Patrick Mahomes to a game. So, uh,

413
00:17:46,080 –> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: before I graduate, we got to make that happen. Mitch,

414
00:17:48,560 –> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: you got to be there too, Both of you have

415
00:17:49,840 –> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: to be there. Come on, you gotta come with them.

416
00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: We’re in, We’re come. We’ll just love that. Pat puts

417
00:17:54,040 –> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: us on the jet and flann to Iowa City. But

418
00:17:56,359 –> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: we’re all about it. Okay. The twenty twenty three schedule

419
00:17:59,520 –> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: will come out right after the draft. It might be

420
00:18:01,720 –> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: the most epic home schedule in the history of the

421
00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. It’s phenomenal. Are you kind of come

422
00:18:07,600 –> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: to a game?

423
00:18:08,600 –> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: We got the Eagles at home, don’t we?

424
00:18:10,119 –> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: Yes?

425
00:18:11,520 –> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: Right, I’m going to try to make that one. Hopefully

426
00:18:13,280 –> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 3: it’s at a good point in the season, but yeah,

427
00:18:16,359 –> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: I’m definitely gonna try to make a game. I’m going

428
00:18:17,880 –> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 3: to try to come to one before basketball starts, and

429
00:18:20,920 –> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: then you know, hopefully we can do the one over Christmas.

430
00:18:23,840 –> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: If we play over Christmas, the family and I.

431
00:18:26,920 –> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: Need to send a permission slip to Lisa Bluter. You

432
00:18:30,040 –> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: do out.

433
00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: No, to be excused, you kind of mentioned this, but

434
00:18:37,520 –> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: being in Iowa, that’s really a battleground area for the

435
00:18:40,800 –> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: Chiefs because there’s Packers fans up there, there’s Vikings fans,

436
00:18:43,520 –> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: fans of other teams, and you kind of said this already,

437
00:18:46,280 –> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: but have you kind of converted some people the Chiefs

438
00:18:48,280 –> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: fans now over the last few years.

439
00:18:50,440 –> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I feel like I have. I feel like

440
00:18:52,040 –> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: I’ve made our whole team Chiefs fans. Like you said, like,

441
00:18:54,880 –> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: there’s a lot of Vikings, there’s a lot of Packers,

442
00:18:56,840 –> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: and I’m like, even a lot of Bears, a lot

443
00:18:58,480 –> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: of especially in Iowa City, there’s a lot of Chicago people,

444
00:19:01,440 –> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 3: so a lot of Bears fans, and I’m like, guys,

445
00:19:03,680 –> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: come on, you got to cheer for a team that’s really,

446
00:19:05,480 –> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: really good and consistently in the Super Bowl. So no,

447
00:19:09,440 –> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: I’ve turned quite a few people in the Chiefs fans,

448
00:19:12,960 –> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 3: and I think they honestly enjoy it because watching the

449
00:19:15,440 –> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 3: Chiefs is exciting, Like it’s exciting, exciting style of football,

450
00:19:19,040 –> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: plays a run, things like that. So I think it’s

451
00:19:21,640 –> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: an easy draw for my teammates to want to watch

452
00:19:23,640 –> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 3: because I feel like we play basketball kind of in

453
00:19:25,480 –> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: that same manner. But no, I’m always trying to convert

454
00:19:28,680 –> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 3: people into big Chiefs fans, or if they won’t convert,

455
00:19:31,560 –> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 3: I’ll just talk a bunch of crap to them about

456
00:19:33,440 –> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: whatever they like.

457
00:19:35,720 –> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: Honestly, it is like watching you guys play, and you

458
00:19:38,000 –> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: play in specific, is like watching the Chiefs play NFL football. Okay,

459
00:19:42,160 –> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: we’ll close it out here, but I know Veach listens

460
00:19:44,520 –> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: to you. And here we are. We’re getting ready for

461
00:19:46,760 –> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: the draft here, we’re just days away. So what advice

462
00:19:50,400 –> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: would you give General Manager Bret Veach on this draft?

463
00:19:53,560 –> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 3: Oh? Here’s the thing. He’s the best GM in all

464
00:19:56,359 –> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 3: of football. I do not think he needs any of

465
00:19:58,560 –> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: my advice. But shoot, I don’t know. If there’s a

466
00:20:03,400 –> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 3: hawkkey left on the board, I think he should take them.

467
00:20:05,600 –> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: We got some good players.

468
00:20:08,240 –> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of Hawkeyes again, because you’re all

469
00:20:11,280 –> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: over the NFL. Like every NFL team, Danon Hughes does

470
00:20:14,240 –> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: color for us. You know, Hiawa Hawkeye guy, and it’s

471
00:20:17,000 –> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: like you guys have like three on every team.

472
00:20:18,840 –> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: It seems like Josh Klingler, yeah the guy.

473
00:20:21,400 –> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Iowa football just produces NFL products. It’s pretty incredible. Uh,

474
00:20:26,040 –> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 3: They’re fun team to watch, and honestly, I’m pretty good

475
00:20:28,080 –> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: friends with a lot of them and a lot of

476
00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: them that are in the NFL Draft this year, so

477
00:20:31,280 –> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 3: it’s gonna be cool to see, you know, where the

478
00:20:33,960 –> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 3: draft takes them. And obviously I think it’s super cool.

479
00:20:36,359 –> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: It’s in Kansas City, and like I said, I have

480
00:20:38,080 –> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: family there, so they’re super stoked about Draft weekend in

481
00:20:41,800 –> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: Kansas City.

482
00:20:42,680 –> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 2: Like if, like Lucas van Ness slips down, you never know. Yeah,

483
00:20:46,760 –> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: this is my age.

484
00:20:47,560 –> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 3: I remember being in the dorms with him. He’s an

485
00:20:49,400 –> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 3: awesome guy. But I think he’ll go. He’ll go pretty high,

486
00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: which will be really cool for him. He’s a beast.

487
00:20:55,960 –> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: He’s a beast.

488
00:20:56,880 –> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: And last question for you, speaking of the draft, are

489
00:20:58,840 –> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: you gonna make it down here to Kansas for the Draft?

490
00:21:01,520 –> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: I actually might. A bunch of my cousins are going

491
00:21:04,040 –> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 3: for Draft weekend and enjoining Kansas City. I think my

492
00:21:06,960 –> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: aunt’s host and everybody, so I might make it down.

493
00:21:10,119 –> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: I have a trip earlier that week, but I might

494
00:21:12,359 –> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: try to make it down for Draft weekend. So I

495
00:21:15,119 –> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: heard the place is going to be crazy. I think

496
00:21:16,800 –> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: they were expecting over three hundred thousand people or something

497
00:21:19,320 –> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 3: like that. So it’s gonna be wild. So I think

498
00:21:22,240 –> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 3: I’m gonna have to come down for it this time.

499
00:21:26,359 –> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: We’ll make sure she gets the front row seat and

500
00:21:28,800 –> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: Blake and Colin. Actually Colin can come with you.

501
00:21:31,440 –> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Colin’s allowed. Blake’s heading up.

502
00:21:33,480 –> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: Blake’s we’ll put him at the top of Liberty Memorial. Right,

503
00:21:37,560 –> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: you had your shot like twenty years ago, Blake. Now

504
00:21:39,600 –> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: you’re going way up top. That’s my moment, Caitlin. We

505
00:21:43,119 –> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: cannot thank you enough, and we cannot tell you enough

506
00:21:46,320 –> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: how much fun it is to watch you play. But

507
00:21:48,119 –> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: the person you are, the character that you bring not

508
00:21:51,720 –> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: only do the basketball floor. You have so many fans

509
00:21:54,920 –> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: that are following you. Now. You are great for young ladies.

510
00:21:58,520 –> 00:22:00,919

511
00:22:01,000 –> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: them to watch you and to be a role model.

512
00:22:03,080 –> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Just know how special you are to all of us

513
