And we're live. What's up? Oh nothing. Thanks for doing this. Appreciate it. Yeah, thanks for having me. I like how you dressed. Very casual. Looks like... Yeah, it's all about comfort these days. Like part... like monk-like. There's like a lot of monk-like to what you got. They shaved head and the wooden beads and the whole deal.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I kind of decided that like I ever since cutting my hair that uh, I don't know, I'm just gonna do away with like not being comfortable in any area. So heels, you're gonna have to pay me to do that. Really? Yeah, I don't know. It's just uh... I'm not a big fan of heels because I can't run away in them.
That's good. I think that's why they made them. Yeah. It only makes sense. Like girls wearing tight skirts where your legs are constricted, right? Yeah. Or tight dresses that go down to your knees especially. Yeah. Those things are... that's like a thing where girls can like barely walk. You have the heels. Your toes are down. It's like the opposite of being strong. It's like you're very vulnerable, right? Very vulnerable. Yeah, like... I don't know if it's just because of like the way I grew up but I was always like looking over my shoulder. Like anytime I was walking down the wrong alley I was always uh... you know...
ready to scope out the area and you know just run and be able to run. I think everybody's like that though, right? Yeah. I mean especially girls. You should be. Yeah. I mean just me in particular just because I was the only girl that looked like myself. I was the smallest all the time or youngest or like the only white girl on my block so I was always like uh... I stood out. And um... so yeah I like to be safe. That smart? Yeah. Or be able to like you know throw a kick in these pants.
Yeah, those what are those like sweatpants or something? What do you got on? Uh... these are called harem pants. Harem pants? Yeah. See get up there with that? Oh they're crazy. They're like they got cool designs on them. What are those designs? Um... I don't really know. It's wild. But they're super comfy. And I got um... they came off this website called harempants.com or something like that. And what are the wooden beads about?
So this is um... this is uh... I got it from a friend. Cassie Robb who's also a fighter. She's my teammate back at home. And she uh... she gave it to me leading up to the fight with Yawana. And uh... just for some strength and courage. So I think this is supposed to like give you like some type of confidence or whatever. Yeah. It's just like an energy bead. I don't know if it really... like I mean I guess it works but you know...
If you believe it works it works. Exactly. Yeah that's kind of how I always feel about everything. It's like a placebo effect right? Yeah. I gotta tell you that your victory speech after you beat Yawana was my all time favorite. Because it wasn't even just about you or about the fight. It wasn't about anything. It was just you expressing yourself. Pat what are you doing over there? You alright?
Checking out this uh... okay. Tassel. Yeah I know. I just think that um... It was an awesome victory speech. It was really amazing. It was uh... you were... you know you were just spilling your heart out. And it was in your moment to shine. And in your moment to shine you didn't make it about you.
I think I fight better that way. You know when I'm... you know it's always about me. Like throughout the training camp. Like everybody like my coaches and teammates are always you know helping me. And it's just... it gets to be a bit much sometimes you know. And I wanna help other people. It fills my spiritual cup more. You know. Your spiritual cup. Yeah. I think that you know I've... you know if your hands close to give you know you can't be open to receive kind of thing. And um...
I think that um... the more that I can give to people the more that I can get myself. You know. And I think that um... you know just like plants and animals the way you know if you look at nature everything is a symbiotic relationship. I think that um... humans can be the same way.
