All right, welcome back to Blue by 90. I'm Justin joined by Tanner and we've got a special guest today. Freshman Olivia Olson from the Michigan women's basketball team. Olivia, thank you for joining us today.
Thanks for having me. I'm excited. just coming in as a freshman. You guys just are coming off of your Big Ten tournament appearance,
heading into the NCAA tournament.
And so, you know, I want to start back when you and I first met back in the summer
leading into your freshman year where you had no idea what college basketball is like,
what college is like, what the University of Michigan is like.
What were your expectations
coming into Ann Arbor and where are you at now with those expectations? Yeah, honestly, I didn't
have that many expectations. Like for the year I wanted to come in and like be able to contribute
and just do whatever it took like to get on the court. And you never know, like I just wanted to
come in open-minded and work as hard as I could to try and get that and you never know like I just wanted to come in open-minded and
work as hard as I could to try and get that opportunity and yeah I just feel like I came
in open-minded not expecting really anything um just to work hard and yeah I feel like we
surprised a lot of people this year three freshmen starting um it's kind of crazy in college basketball
like out of power five so um I feel like we're like thriving and so kind of
i feel like we exceeded expectations um but you know we're working every day still and
i feel like we've learned a lot this year so i'm really thankful for the opportunity
i have a question i did my research on wikipedia so if it's wrong that's on me and on wiki uh but
i saw that you so you played varsity basketball as an eighth
grader is that right yeah what was the bigger jump eighth grade playing varsity or true freshman
playing in the big ten probably probably eighth grade because it was just i went from travel to
like travel basketball to um playing varsity and I was just so much smaller
than like I feel like I came into college like with my body like college ready that's kind of
what I focused on leading up to this like my senior year really getting stronger and stuff
so I don't think physically it was as hard it was more like mental like how fast the game was
and just like making decisions and um yeah so i was gonna
say how tall were you in eighth grade because you're tall now what are you are you six foot
six foot six one okay yeah i think i was about 5 11 probably i haven't really grown much since
eighth grade so pretty big grader yeah well she dropped 40. I saw. You dropped 40?
Okay.
She dropped 40 in eighth grade, Justin.
You know when I was doing eighth grade basketball?
Getting rebounds, setting picks, you know?
Yeah.
I mean, hey, eighth grade basketball, too.
I think I was our manager on the eighth grade basketball team
because you were taller than me in eighth grade.
So, you know's it's a tough
situation for now I'm six foot three so it helped but I didn't jump up till a little bit later um
but yeah I mean that you know you were you ended up as a McDonald's All-American correct um and so
obviously had a had a half of a high school career um but to Tanner's point, then you're jumping in and it's not just like, all right, I have to
now practice with, you know, a Big Ten team. It's like, okay, no, I am one of the main, you know,
ball handlers and scorers for a Big Ten team that's making a run at, you know, looking at a
Big Ten title right now into the NCAA tournament. So has there been like pressure for you and Sila to come
in and Mila, you know, to come in? Like, you know, has it been tough to handle that? Or have you guys
just taken it in stride? Yeah, I think at the beginning, just it was a little overwhelming,
just trying to like, I don't know, live up to the expectations that people had on us. But also I think it was honestly nice for us and our team that we didn't really know what to expect,
like especially going in the South Carolina game and those, like, early big ones was, like,
it was nicer to not really know what pressure there was on us because we were just going to play
and, like, playing our style and playing like we just played hard and so I think us three playing together like not knowing um what
the pressure was and like how Jordan and Greta already knew like there was pressure playing in
college but we were just kind of playing like we always do and so I think we've taken that like we
learned that early on and so we've been doing that day by day. And obviously there's hard days and hard games.
But I think by doing that and like just taking it day by day, it's helped us a lot,
like not have to put pressure on ourselves because we, again, sometimes forget that we're so young.
I do, too, watching you guys, because I will say, you know, we watch I watch a lot of college basketball.
And whether it's freshmen or seniors, you know, mistakes are made.
Right. It's still kids that are 18 to 22 years old.
But you guys, I would say just you do handle that pressure pretty well.
And and even I would say also like playing together, you know, a lot of times I'm like, these kids look like sorry not to call you a kid.
But we're old, washed up guys. We're, you know, 30 years old.
But it's, you know, you guys look like you have played together for quite some time where you have rhythm.
It feels like you've been on the court.
You know, it just feels natural.
When did that come about?
Did you feel that from day one or has that been something that's been progressing?
I think it's been progressing.
The summer helped, like Mila and I playing together
and even playing with Jordan and Greta.
Sila was with Team Canada in the summer, so we didn't really get to play with her.
But I had known her, and she's the type of person that you don't really need
much time to be able to gel with.
But I think just all finding our roles on the team and being able to play together a lot, a lot of minutes early on was helpful.
And I think every game we got more and more comfortable and I think it's like peaking at the right time.
And so I think even the past few games, like we've been almost at our best, especially like us three gelling um together and we're so close
off the court that um i think that translates to on the court like chemistry wise i was gonna ask
how you know you guys have had some some stretches this year you had a a tough stretch when you had
to go to southern california and then you came back home against ohio state and you guys you
lost three in a row but then you rattled off four in a row and then you know you had another uh tough one against
Michigan State and Wisconsin and rattled off another four in a row like how do you guys keep
just kind of fighting through I mean is that is that the culture is that just you know just the
luck of the bout sometimes with basketball because it seems like you guys have you know maybe a
couple uh games stretch where it's a little bit tougher uh and then you guys write off a bunch of
ones in a row you guys have done that like three or four times this year yeah i think some
of those it was just like the california trip was hard because we knew going into it it was against
ucla and usc and we want we wanted to compete to the best of our ability um and just grow by it and
so i think even like comparing the the first usc game to the second one was like a lot different.
Our defense has gotten way better, just our confidence in pushing the ball.
And so I think every game we just take as a learning experience, win or lose.
And we come in the next day at practice and know what we need to work on.
So after the Michigan State, we knew the Michigan State loss, we knew we had to up our intensity of practice. So we took, we all took it up a notch defensively, more like player personnel wise, like keying in on that.
And so then you could see that in the second game against them that we took it up a notch and were able to compete and be more physical.
And so I just think we're all learning like what it takes to play at this level in college and like
the preparation it takes and so yeah I just think we've been taking it up a notch intensity wise and
when we're at our highest intensity like we're gonna play our best and our hardest so I think
that's what helps mostly yeah and I mean i watched that usc game in the
big 10 tournament and you know that was a two-point game until the final like minute right
and so i think if you would have asked a lot of whether it's fan and fans analysts coaches around
the conference to say hey this michigan team with three freshmen starting was going to take juju
and usc in the big 10 tournament down to the final minute.
Everyone would be like, no way is that going to happen. Right.
So, you know, I think it's one thing to like, yes, obviously you're going out there to win every game,
but there's also just progress to be made. And, you know, you have to take, you know, some wins just in the game right um it's i i don't like to
have those like moral victories but you know when you're playing like a against a player like juju
watkins you're going to take some of those because she's probably one of the best if not the best
player in the country right so um and then i think that also gives you that projects you you know
into the ncaa tournament with some confidence like hey, we do belong on this court with anybody, right?
We can run with anybody.
And then you're going to find out.
I mean, I've been watching college basketball,
men's and women's for a long time.
Anything can happen in the NCAA tournament, right?
So, you know, you never know.
And we were talking a little bit before we jumped on the show here,
but you don't even know where you're going to be at, right?
So you're going to learn on Sunday and then pick up your bags and, you know, we'll see what happens.
So are you guys, how excited are you for that?
I can't wait. I think I've heard a lot of stuff about the Selection Sunday.
So, I mean, I've seen it on like TV the past couple of years, but now to be a part of it, I'm excited.
And I sometimes forget to realize like there's not that many people who get to
experience it. Like it's like,
sometimes I feel like you take it for granted being able to be in this
opportunity. I'm excited to be in it for the first time.
So I'm excited to go compete and wherever we end up,
I think we'll put on our best show.
Yeah. I mean, it is one of those things too.
I think you're right about not taking it for granted because there are a lot of
teams who don't make it right. You know, it's so I would say, you know,
you've already accomplished one goal of making the tournament as a freshman,
right? Hopefully you can go four for four with that.
Tell us a little bit about Coach KBA. So I know her a little bit. She's intense for sure. But it's like a
loving type of intense as well. Give us a little scoop on what Coach KBA is like behind the scenes.
Yeah, intense is a great word for her.
I love playing for her, though.
Like she knows the most basketball out of any coach,
any like kind of mentor that I've been around.
Sometimes she says stuff and I'm like, oh, I didn't even think of that.
But like that makes perfect sense.
So she just she pushes us to be to compete at our best.
And when we think we can't go anymore, we're going to go more like she wants us to be to compete at our best and when we think we can't go anymore
we're gonna go more like she wants us to be the best player we can be I love like the player
development style we do a lot of like skill development and practice incorporated in it so
um we're getting better every day um a lot of defense uh she's big on defense and being able to
like you need to play defense to be able
to play and so um just learning a lot of different stuff like that in high school i mean we didn't
really focus that much on defense and so um now 40 you were dropping 40 who had time for defense
when you're dropping 40 you know yeah i mean i tried but now it's like you actually have you're
playing against
people who are just as good as you so you need to be able to defend and that's what she expects out
of us and so i just love the intensity um that she coaches with and she loves us and she's gonna
push us hard and make us better and so that's what i like most about her i love it justin i'm gonna
go back to Wikipedia.
Can we do Wikipedia pages?
By the way, how does it feel to have a Wikipedia page?
Is that kind of wild?
Because, like, I don't know.
When did your Wikipedia page get created?
Yeah, when did you find out, oh, my gosh, I'm on Wikipedia?
I didn't know until I think it was my senior year
because the guy who created it came to one of my games and
he was like did you do you know you have a wikipedia page and I was like what and he was
like yeah I created it so I don't I was like okay all right sure well so let's pass over that but
okay this I don't know who put this in here then I don't know if we can see like all the edits made
but it said that you had a dozen landscaping customers is that true yes i was i had a lawn mowing company in high school
not like an official one but mostly in my neighborhood uh i would take the car my dad
would drive too and we would i would just go mow their lawns for some extra cash oh and then it
says so your dad and your brother kept the business running while you were training and
playing for Team USA a few years ago.
That's awesome.
Did you have to give that up? You had to give up the dream
landscape company,
aspirations. I did.
I'm not really in business
anymore.
How did you just want some extra cash?
It seems like
for an elite
basketball player that's just kind of you don't hear those kinds of things so I think it's really
interesting and really unique and cool that you know you have such a work ethic and do you know
do things like that you know now you know people just get NIL money but you were you were mowing
lawns for that coin yeah I started it um with my brother and dad not really like a company just doing extra stuff
because um when I was probably in eighth grade I played travel soccer and travel basketball and so
we would fly all over the country for both um and it was expensive so my dad kind of wanted us to
pitch in with flights and stuff to like see what our money or what our hard work was going for like
what our parents have to do to pay for that so So we would kind of, he would let me keep half the money and then half the money I
would, it would go towards flights and stuff. And so that kind of just made me appreciate like them
more and being able to work hard for that money. And so then once I quit soccer, club soccer, he
just was like, you can just keep the money if you want.
So I just kept doing it because I was like, this is such easy money.
Like, why would I not?
And so I would just spend my time mowing lawns and play basketball.
So you got to have some extra cash for like going to get ice cream in high school.
For sure.
For sure.
So, OK, now you have one brother.
Yeah. And an older sister.
And an older sister. Were either of them athletes as well?
Yeah. So my sister played soccer in high school, not in college. And then my brother,
he's like 15 months older than me. He plays soccer at Portland.
Okay. Awesome. Can any of them like take you on a basketball
court or a soccer field or or do you got it um my brother for sure in soccer but we always
grew up playing like I was the goalie and he was he plays in the field so I would he would always
shoot on me so that's how we I mean we've always been close he no one else plays basketball though
no one else has ever played basketball.
So my parents did in high school, but I was – yeah.
So he shoots with two hands, though, my brother's.
But he's kind of good, so I don't know how.
I'm judging a little bit, I'll be honest.
There's some guy for a mid-major that is doing the granny free throw shot.
I don't remember what school, but it's pretty electric.
Yeah, it's phenomenal.
Jackie Boone.
Have you ever thought about doing that?
I mean, I'm sure you can make your free throws shooting normally,
but has that ever happened?
She shoots 83%.
I looked.
I don't know.
I've seen TikToks of people, like, doing dribble combos
at the free throw line for their free throw routine.
I think that's funny.
That is pretty funny. What is – what's your routine at the free throw line for their free throw routine. I think that's funny. That is pretty funny.
What's your routine at the free throw line?
Are you like a two dribble, just go, or what do you do?
Mine's three dribbles.
Three dribbles straight and then just shoot it?
Yeah.
No behind the back or like – we grew up here.
It is 3-1-3 day as we're recording this for Detroit.
And Rip Hamilton for the the pistons back in 2004
how old were you in 2004 2004 wasn't born yet oh my god that doesn't size oh no um so
we are washed we are washed but in 2004 the 04 pistons were like the greatest team of all time.
And Rip Hamilton used to do two bounces, two dribbles right here,
and then go to the side for one dribble.
Yeah, I used to do that.
I stole that in like eight years old playing, you know,
whatever little league basketball.
I stole that for sure.
For sure.
Yeah.
Well, have you ever – like there are some guys and girls that they take forever at the free throw line and even when i played back in the day i was like the last thing i want to do
is sit here and think about this free throw for a long time yeah i couldn't like yannis takes a
while people like people all the players will count yeah Yeah. I mean, wouldn't you, like, isn't that, I would be like, no,
I want to, let me just rip this off and go.
I don't want to think about it more than like two seconds.
Yeah, no way.
Yeah.
So, all right.
The other thing I wanted to talk to you about was Jordan and Greta.
So, as you said, you know, you have the three,
you're part of the three freshmen that came in and are starting now.
You know, almost the whole roster turned over this past season. Right.
And except for Jordan Hobbs and Greta Kampschroeder. they met in terms of just leadership and showing you the way and being like a rock in terms of,
you know, keeping something going from last year to this year. Yeah, they've been awesome. They're
great leaders. They have like taught us the culture of Michigan and what coach expects,
like at the beginning when we were all nervous, like there were only, what, four returners.
And so then, but only them two had really had a lot of playing experience.
They taught us all the drills, what to expect from coach,
kind of the intensity level, what to expect.
And so they've just been, and then when we transitioned into games,
like they've been great at helping us early on, like ease our nerves
and just in games be able to pull us all together and say, okay,
we're going to run this, this, this, like it's okay.
Maybe if coach gets a little heated, like they're the ones to like calm us down.
And I just think Jordan's been great.
Greta's a great leader. They just, I think they mean a lot to this program for sticking with it. And even when other people were leaving,
like they believed in it and maybe other outsiders didn't think the program would be in
like good hands, but they were, they wanted to stick it out they believed in michigan and um we all did too and so
i just think um they're the two like type of kids that you want in your program and um you want
to be around and surrounded by and their skill um shows for itself too
were there any players i feel like i keep switching gears because justin keeps talking about the current stuff which justin you're more tuned in uh than i am i'll talk about the current
stuff we'll go back to the way i just keep going no i'm not going to wikipedia but are there any
what when you were well i have a couple more questions that are around this but
who did you watch as you were growing up was there anybody that you kind of know, based your game around that you watched as you were a little bit younger
and kind of realizing, hey, I have the opportunity to go play
at the collegiate level?
Like, were there any players that you watched as you were growing up?
Yeah, I always watched Maya Moore.
She was –
Yeah, she played for the Lynx, so we would go to her games.
I went to her camp just because she's so versatile,
and I think I kind of like
not exactly her game but like picks like piece and parts of it um I like to emulate and just
the work ethic and she'll do whatever it takes to win and so that's kind of what I like to
like emphasize and I always I always watched Paige growing up too she was uh we would my dad
and I would go to when she was in eighth grade she played on varsity too so we would go and I
would take a little stat pad and kind of just write like what she did good and my dad always
liked watching her play and so he wanted me to see how hard she played and um just how she was
a taller guard too he never wanted me to get stuck in the post. And so he wanted me to just to kind of see that you're like she how good she was able to like play under stress.
And I mean, you never could tell, but just like under that pressure of being an eighth grader playing for her good team.
So, yeah, I feel like those two I watched the most as I was a kid. Yeah. And so with, with being 5'11 in eighth grade,
you probably, you know, even at the varsity level, you know, there aren't that many women that are
5'11, right. But you probably, as your dad said, you don't want to just be a post player, right.
You're, you're kind of thinking for the longterm, all right, we're going to have to score. You're
going to have to ball handle. At what point were point were you always a good ball handler from the get-go? Or was there a point where you're
like, I'm 5'11", I just want to back people down and I can score every time? No, I, since literally
fourth grade, my dad, I was always the tallest on the team, but my dad would make sure I worked on
my ball handling and was like it would be he always
wanted me to be like the point guard where I would had to make the decisions and stuff and
so I on all my teams I would from fourth grade I would basically be the point guard and just kind
of because we worked on my ball handling so much my dad and I um that that kind of just went through
high school and then once I got to high, I was still the tallest on the team,
but they had me play like the one and two.
But then I also played the five when we had smaller guards in and I needed,
we needed a bucket.
I could post someone up and I wasn't very strong back then.
So I got, I fell a lot on the ground,
but just kind of throughout the years gotten a little stronger.
And yeah, I've just always tried to keep my.
When I got my growth spurt, I was so clumsy.
I don't know if you went through this,
but like I grew like six inches in like six months.
And it was, I don't know if you had that experience,
but I literally couldn't walk at times because my legs grew too quickly.
Yeah, for sure.
Like Bambi out there, baby Bambi.
For sure, like a baby deer that just got born.
So, Olivia, you mentioned playing travel, basketball, and soccer.
Two-part question, when did you realize, like, did you kind of pick basketball
or did it come to you in the second?
Like, when did you realize, like, oh, I am that good.
Like, I can play at the highest levels.
Like, did you have that moment
yeah so I soccer was my main sport all growing up um till about eighth grade then that's when
I decided then you dropped 40 yeah but that's kind of that year that varsity year was when I was like
I because I played club soccer during that high school basketball season and it was hard to go from basketball practice to soccer.
But then like, I kind of realized like I had more fun doing it.
Um, and I didn't realize like anything could possibly happen till I think that seventh
grade summer going into eighth grade, I was at this camp called check me out nation was
in Minnesota and there were gopher players there.
Um, just like
helping out the camp and talking about how hard college basketball was and how like you really
need to love it to do it and you need to how much talent like it takes. And so I just had never
thought about playing in college like basketball wise. I always thought I'd play soccer. And I just talked to my dad and I was like, maybe I could
play like D3 both like soccer and basketball. I was like, do you think like I'd be good enough
to play D3 basketball? And like, then I could play soccer too. Like just play both so I could
keep playing. And he's like, yeah, like who knows? Like you just have to keep working hard. Like we
thought that was a reach for basketball. And so just then I just kept working and during COVID mostly trained a lot.
And yeah, then I got my first, once I got my first offer, that was January of my eighth grade year
from Minnesota. I was when I started to be like, okay, like this is like,
I'll, I didn't believe.
I have a career in this, like this could possibly work out.
That is by the way. So not normal. That's absurd.
Yeah. 14 years old.
When I saw her drop 40, they're like done. Send it, send it out.
That's awesome.
No, that's, that's awesome. Obviously, it's worked out.
We're glad that you're at the other M school here.
Yeah, me too.
So, yeah, we're happy to have you.
By the way, I put up your points per game this season on the pod here.
I noticed that you're at 16.2.
Sila's at 16.1.
So, have you guys, you know, is there a little bit of a battle internally of like,
all right, you got, you dropped 17 today
and your points per game went up by 0.1.
No, I feel like I don't even look at it, honestly.
I mean, sometimes it's hard when you have a bad game,
like, oh, like that sucks.
But like whenever one person has a not great game,
the other person is going to step in and do it and so I think we we're we don't really compete against each other like we want to
win we want to do whatever it takes for the team to win and so um like I feel like we support each
other really well and we don't like no one really on our team no one really looks at the stats and
it's like she's averaging blah blah but she's averaging what, like the other numbers. So then we're just
like, you know, we're going to go play. We're going to play well together. And I think, um,
this year has shown like that we can do good things together and, um, we need other people,
you need other people to help, um, the team think any given day, anyone can go off. And so
I just, I love playing with her. She's the most selfless person to play with, is all for the team,
hard worker. So I think we complement each other really well.
I gotta give it to you guys both because I think it's pretty unique, especially in the NIL era, to have two five-star All-Americans
come in and be able to share that, you know, stardom, if you will, right? Share the center
court and not be focused on that at all, right? Because, you know, there are a lot of men and
women right now that, you know, are, whether it's chasing a bag or trying to just get what they deserve.
And so I got to applaud both of you because it feels like from the get-go when I met you and now to this day,
that that is not even a topic in your mind, which is pretty cool.
So one other thing I wanted to talk about as we were talking about
ball handling was you know danny wolf also is a seven footer who can handle the ball and be a
point guard if he needs to have you guys like talked about that have you you know worked on
things together have you had that chance or not really we like haven't i haven't talked to him
about that but he's crazy good.
I don't know how he can be that tall and be able to – he literally looks like a point guard when he's handling it.
So, I just – he's a mismatched nightmare.
So, I – yeah, I do need to talk to him about that.
We don't talk that much, but maybe I should.
I don't know how much longer he's going to be here, by the way.
True.
There's not many seven- footers with handles in a in a shot that can get to the lane and
rebound uh nba is probably you know they're calling yeah yeah um and so okay speaking of
moves what is your like go all right i need a bucket We're down two or down – call it down one.
The game's on the line.
You've got a one-on-one situation, so there's not really like a play drawn up.
What's your go-to move to go in the end?
I'm doing a little Hezzy, attacking hard right,
and then spinning and finishing left.
It's my go-to.
The left hand, I like that a lot. Yeah, it's my go-to. The left hand, I like that a lot.
Yeah, it's my go-to.
I love this.
If there are any other scouts watching this, we'll cut that out.
Hopefully it doesn't make it to the field of the NCAA tournament coaches.
Yeah, but I like finishing with the left.
I feel like that's unique as well because most people would stick with the right.
Yeah, I because most people would stick with the right yeah i'm most people i well i don't have a i'm going to hoop at valor today at three and so i mean i have no right or left and so you know it's just kind of whatever happens at you know
weather's been nice i went out to our to our you know courts over here at our apartment complex i
was putting some shots i was like that's the wind the wind pulled it you know what i mean i gotta get it i
gotta get in somewhere with uh climate controlled uh conditions there you go there you go um all
right so uh so heading into the ncaa tournament selection sunday is coming up are you guys do you
know is there a setup like in the locker room that you guys are going to have
the camera on and all that stuff and we're going to coach's house so we're gonna have practice and
then get showered and stuff and probably eat at her house all right there you go well we're excited
we'll be watching um super excited for you guys not i mean obviously we're really excited about
what's uh right in front of you in this NCAA tournament coming out.
Hopefully, you know, that five, six, seven seed, something like that,
get a good matchup.
I think the thing is you just got to play game by game, right?
Survive in advance, man.
I don't know why I'm giving you advice right now
because I've never been in the NCAA tournament,
but from a fan who's watched a lot of them, you survive in advance,
get out of that first weekend, and then anything
can happen. For sure.
Thank you. Yeah, for sure. Wait, I have one
more completely off-topic question. Olivia, what
is your go-to? You've been here for
a little bit of time in Ann Arbor. We
live in the area. I live in Ann Arbor. Justin's
stone's throw away.
What's your favorite spot for just
a good meal? Where are you
going? My favorite is Fritos.
Yeah.
Okay.
Down with that.
Yeah.
I was, I for sure thought you were going to say Stray Hen
because every student athlete says Stray Hen.
I don't love Stray Hen.
Thank you.
I like Jagged better.
Okay.
Okay.
Than Stray Hen.
Jagged Fork is like, as somebody who's not a student,
it's hard to get into.
Yes. You guys, like, you guys camp out, I feel like. Like, it's like a's not a student, it's hard to get into. Yes.
You guys camp out, I feel like.
It's like a midnight release of we got to get in there.
I'll see how long the wait is and we'll just walk elsewhere.
It's just too much.
Yes, I would agree.
But, yeah, it's great.
Every time I walk – I swear I've been there like twice or three times.
Davis and Max and all those football guys are there literally every time.
That's funny.
The one time we went there, Hunter Dickinson
had walked in and then left.
It was a couple years ago. And then it was right
before the football season started. And these guys
were freshers like Will Johnson,
Kenneth Grant, all these guys who are now
going to the NFL. So it's a popular hangout
spot. Yeah. For sure. I can't
imagine what KG's what his meal is because he's a mammoth of a man.
So, yeah.
So Jagged Fork, Frida's.
I mean, Frida's is a staple too.
I love Frida's.
Yeah.
Just wash that burger down.
Yeah.
So good.
Love that.
All right.
