Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, we got an interesting episode today. We've been talking about doing this for a while, right? I feel like, like six months maybe, honestly. Yes, this has been in the works for a while. No, I feel like this is like a cool one for us. I feel like it's kind of unexpected because I don't know, just what you got going on right now is just like for us in like the influencer world and social media world, it's like it's pretty crazy to see.
Starting point is 00:00:21 I feel like you're kind of like the first of your kind. Yeah, yeah. Do you ever feel like that? Yes, I feel like there's no one that's, done what I've done so I'm kind of just winging it and I mean the whole area is so unprecedented so I mean I'm just kind of going with the flow I know we were talking about it like before off camera but just how much like the college probably seen or like that industry has changed ever since they allowed like college athletes to make money oh my gosh yeah how like
Starting point is 00:00:51 was it the year that you got into college that changed so my freshman year the rule hadn't changed yet and it was kind of it was in the talk I mean, I didn't ever think it was going to change, but 2021 rolled around and then it changed that summer. And then my whole entire life, like, was so different after that. I mean, it was like balancing school, now working with brands, then practice on top of that. I mean, it was a big change, but. Were you, like, hearing rumors that it was, like, going to go down, like that new rule change? Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Yeah. I mean, I didn't ever think it was going to have. happen. I mean, there's been like, there were athletes that were at LSU before me that were like, oh my goodness, if this changes for you, like, this is going to be huge. Oh, shit, really? Yeah. And I was like, I didn't understand because I was literally like, I think I was 18 years old. So I was like, I was so young. I mean, I'm only 20 now, but I didn't really know what was going on. And then when it like happened, like, how did you kind of react? Like, were people coming at you from like all angles? And like, how did you navigate that? Yeah. So I mean, I, I, I, I took
Starting point is 00:02:00 my time to find a really good agent first because I feel like that's most important, you know, being able to trust your agent and being with someone that, you know, has your best interest at heart. But yeah, I mean, it was, it was crazy. How did it change when you start going crazy walking around campus and kind of, I feel like you put LSU on the map a little bit? I, I mean, there's obviously amazing athletes that were there before me. I mean, Joe. Of course. The women's basketball team is, like, insane right now. They're awesome. Of course.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Social media wise, I mean, I hope that we have more eyes on LSU. It's a sick school. Can you walk around and go to class without being bothered? I don't go to class. I do all online. But I feel like at LSU, it's kind of like the people always see me around anyways. So it's not like nobody's, like, starstruck when they see me around. It's kind of like, oh, there's live.
Starting point is 00:02:59 because yeah like we obviously get recognized if we're out in public like what's that like at like college no honestly like I feel like LSU like the people there are obviously awesome but some of the people that are so used to seeing me they're probably just like oh there she is again like I feel like I don't know they're kind of used to it do you think it causes like jealousy in a way seeing like your rise to fame I mean it's got to be a bit yeah how would it not right yeah like like where like other students let's put this way if you're a guy I mean it's got to be a bit yeah how would it not right yeah like where like well I feel like let's put this way if you're a guy I that has the reputation or the fame that you do and you're at a party, you're probably the coolest guy there, and then if you're there, it's probably just, like, overwhelming. I've always had to take pictures with people and stuff, but, I mean, I don't really, I don't mind when I'm out.
Starting point is 00:03:43 It is what it is at this point. I like meeting new people and taking pictures with people is, like, part of the job. How do you decide, like, what's more important? So you start making money through brand deals and stuff, right? Yeah. But you're staying in school,
Starting point is 00:03:59 So how, like, how do you choose, like, oh, I have a test tomorrow or I could just make a lot of money and go do an appearance or, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I mean, during season, it's really hard because, you know, I have to turn down these awesome opportunities sometimes. And then in the summer, I try to stack up. I try to stack up, yeah. So my summers are usually pretty busy, but it's really hard, I'd say, turning down these cool opportunities I have during season and trying to find the right balance and stuff. You're the most highest-earning female college athlete right now. I think I saw second overall, too, like male and female?
Starting point is 00:04:36 I don't know. I saw I was behind brawny, I don't know. But that's pretty... Is Bronny black? That's what it says. That makes sense. At least that's pretty cool to be in the same, like, category. Oh, my gosh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I mean, I never thought I would ever be in this position. Did you or, like, did you ever have, like, some sort of faith that, like, something like this would happen? I mean, I would hope that I could make a lot of money with NIL. I didn't know when I started growing my social media that this rule was ever going to change. I started growing my social media just because I like to do it ever since I was like 10 years old. I mean, I amassed about 100,000 followers on Instagram just through posting gymnastics and posting because I was on the USA national team. So I would just post my gymnastics and post me at international competitions.
Starting point is 00:05:22 And I kind of had a little fan base there. I mean, it doesn't compare to the following I have now. But I always enjoyed growing my social media. What got you into gymnastics and what keeps you going with that? I mean, I started gymnastics when I was like three just because I would like climb everything. But I realized probably when I was around like 10 years old that I was like, you know what? Like I tried the Olympics. So I would always leave my family growing up for a week every month, go to the USA Olympic Training Center, which, you know, USA gymnastics had terrible skin.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And I mean, that whole environment just was not so good. So I was on the USA national team for a while there and decided when I was like 16, I was like, you know what? I'm just, USA gymnastics like fell apart in a sense while I was like in that program. And I was like, I'm just going to be healthy, keep my full ride to LSU and just be happy and love the sport. I mean, like what keeps you going with the gymnastics while doing like obviously? like your rise to fame it's such a weird thought to just give up your sport that you've been doing
Starting point is 00:06:33 since you've been doing it since your three i mean i always love to grow the social media and i always done gymnastics as well for a really long time so i mean i feel like i i could balance it yeah but obviously that's what separates you too right like there's a lot of girls but like i don't know it's like unique what you have going like it's just like i see the videos like you getting mobbed like it reminds me of like our shit where it's like you have like a cult ass following it's crazy it really is they are like i've never seen i've never seen anything like that with like a girl where it's like guy fans like that yeah yeah i mean it's only gone crazier with the sports illustrated too yeah oh yeah that was congrats on that
Starting point is 00:07:17 thank you thank you yeah that was like that was so exciting that was probably one of like the most exciting days of my life and i literally had practice later that day and I couldn't tell anyone for the longest time. That was definitely one of the hardest secrets I had to keep. It was crazy, though. What's that one, what's the one gymnastics movie? Do you know what I'm talking about? It's like super famous.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Get it on. Stick it? Oh, stick it's the best. Underrated movies. I think. I like the cheerleading movies way more. Like bring it on. He hasn't seen sticking. Bring it on.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Okay. Those are bangers. That's not, that's not the same as gymnastics. No, I know. But what I was going to say before he interrupted was that, I feel like it does, like the sport doesn't get enough like respect like gymnastics yeah because like i watched ticket i've seen you and it's like the flips the crazy stuff yeah i mean one of the cool things about doing what i'm doing is that there's so many
Starting point is 00:08:09 new eyes on gymnastics and i feel like gymnastics does deserve some hype because it's so hard and especially like when you're in college and your body doesn't really want to do it anymore because you're getting older because you peek in gymnastics when you're like i would say like 16 Really? Yeah, unless you're like Simone Biles And unless you're like Not human Like she's just incredible
Starting point is 00:08:32 I mean They're yeah What happens because We all saw this But we started to see like Your name And then just tons of bros Coming to the events
Starting point is 00:08:43 Yeah Yeah I mean this year Was the craziest year Does that like put pressure on you Does it like father other athletes? No So at the beginning I don't know
Starting point is 00:08:53 Definitely bothers other athletes Yeah Like other girls are definitely like getting a little jealous. Oh my God, they must be rattled. I mean, it's kind of, I feel bad because sometimes at the Utah meet this year, it was a bit crazy. That kind of blew up the most. That was in like the national media and stuff. I mean, the media did blow it a bit out of proportion, but that was.
Starting point is 00:09:16 But the guys were like really aggressive in the video because they're like 13 and they're like screaming. Oh, they're that young? Livy Chance. And I wasn't even competing. I was hurt and I was like they don't care what I do like I was I was literally hurt so it was just crazy that people would show up to watch me just stand there and cheer on my teammates I mean it was it was there's got to be like another gymnast from another school that's just like oh Livy's fucking here and then all these people show up like you know what I mean they're probably so rattled yeah it's got to be competitive like all these people are here to see you it's I mean there is Even if people are there to see me, I hope that they are able to watch the other girls and realize that the sport is, it's sick. Like, the meets are actually really fun.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Like, LSU Gymnastics Meets sell out 13,000 people. Like, they're fun. Were they selling out before you were doing it? Yeah. They actually, yeah, yeah. I would love to go one time. You guys have to, like, they're actually, they go crazy. On town.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I've never been to, right? I'll pull up. Yeah. Okay, okay. I saw, so you were at the Omaha or the College World Series. Yeah. I saw this video, there was like a dad who came up to you and asked for your autograph. I mean, yeah. I would say. How old was he? He was pushing 50 something. Right? In the video, I mean, from his fit, which was a terrible fit. Ever since, like, ever since I did Sports Illustrated, too, it's like, I mean, there's like 12-year-old and then, like, their dad, which is like, I mean, it kind of comes with, like, what I do. I mean, but usually whenever people come up to me and they're older, they say it's for, like, their daughter's, friends, friends, sisters, brothers, dogs. Yeah, that's the easy way out.
Starting point is 00:11:10 My daughter loves you, but you know, it's like, come on. Yeah, but the College World Series was crazy. What about, like, on the flip side, female fans? Female fans? I mean, I love me to. the female fans because i mean they're a little more reserved they usually don't come up to me as much as the guys or at least they're a little more nervous to i i love meeting like all my fans but especially the girls um they're always so sweet i mean some of the guys like they're
Starting point is 00:11:43 they try to raise you up they try to raise you up they try to raise me up but no they're they're a lot more forward so they'll like come up to me and they like but the girls are more chill they're kind of nervous those fans aren't coming in like the like they try and spit game with you yeah but they're not successful right no yeah probably not only there's only a handful that they're probably not that respectful and stuff or are they i mean it depends it depends on like the demographic you know i guess they're either 55 or 12 years old so yeah the demographics are like but yeah it really depends who i mean at the world series i knew going to like the college world World Series that going to an event like that, I knew what I was getting myself into.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Whenever I go to like Yankees games or things like that, that's like the demographic that approaches me usually whenever I'm just like on the streets. But yeah, I knew what I was getting myself into. We probably have like a really similar demographic. Like it's probably like, definitely. It's probably like, oh, 100%. Yeah, yeah. This is going to be a huge episode for the fans.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Like they'll love this. I mean, when it comes to like guys approaching your stuff. relationship wise like what do you look for most in the guy I mean obviously you get approached by a lot of definitely respectful I mean someone that is kind I don't know this sounds like kind of cliche but someone that shows me respect and understands what I do like understands that I have obligations other places and that I'm busy and that you know I I work and I mean it doesn't look like I mean they got to look good first to like to have the door open right I mean obviously yeah where they got to look good like I mean I mean I like like how good looking though
Starting point is 00:13:34 I prefer athletes I do shit did you play in the freshman I played pickup in college a few times just recreational basketball yeah that does that not count that doesn't qualified does it i mean but i'm a respectful guy i'm a family man if i'm being real with you so that's something that's a really important to me yeah like i told you i'm graduated high honors super smart so no but also one of the the my favorite things in a guy is when they're kind to their mothers like if they're not kind to their mom yeah if they're not kind to their mom that's the biggest red flag to me like if they don't have respect for their mother then they're out the door He bought, this guy bought his mom a car the other day.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Or what was a while ago? Not on Mother's Day. No, but buying your mom a car, that's pretty cool. Right? It's dope, yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah, that's good care of their mom. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yeah. I love it. I mean, that should be a given, no? No. You'd be surprised. Some people are real bozos. Yeah. Like, you don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Like, it's concerning sometimes. So I'm curious, how do you, because we just talked about how you're the second highest paid college athlete. How do you stay motivated? And you said you got a 3-6 GPA? I think, like, yeah, 3-6, 37. So how do you even stay motivated to, like, perform academically? We have to.
Starting point is 00:14:57 We don't really have a choice. We have, like, a team GPA. We try to meet every semester. I think this year was 3.5 we tried to meet. So I exceeded that. No biggie. Are you, like, studying in the library and, like, actually? No, I've never been to the library.
Starting point is 00:15:13 You're one of those, like, cocky, like, I didn't even study, but I got a 90%? No, I know when I, when I take. a test and I know if I think I did bad then it's a complete flunk like I get like a 30 like there's no in between I never like luck out and I'm like oh my god I did amazing on this it's like a complete fail but usually like my sister she helps me study um and also LSU has so many resources too like you got to try to like fail if I mean they they don't want you too obviously who do you keep like around you that like because shit must be tough sometimes like who do you keep around you let like kind of you can bounce stuff off and like your sister my sister she literally
Starting point is 00:15:55 helps me with everything because i don't know how to do anything on my own like she helps me put together videos she shout out jules shout out to jules she helps me put together the videos that i send to brands. She helps me with studying. She helps me travel. She helps me set everything up. She cooks for me at school, too. I mean, with Ellis, she like, where do you want to take your career moving forward? Yeah. I definitely want to do something entrepreneurial. I love working with brands and I feel like over time I've learned, like the past two years, I've learned so much from working with brands that I definitely want to have my own thing one day, my own product or something. I don't know exactly what yet, but I definitely want to have my own thing.
Starting point is 00:16:50 That's dope. Is that something that like you have to think about because obviously people like you, because you are the college athlete gymnast, but then once you take off, you graduate, you move on. It's like a different personality kind of. Yeah, yeah. I feel like, You know what? I feel like Sports Illustrated really is a swift transition because I always was into modeling. I like doing that. And the fact that they offered me a spot in the magazine this year, first of all, I got off the phone with them. And I was jumping up and down.
Starting point is 00:17:23 I think I cried. And I was so excited. You got the cover, yeah? No, not cover. I just got in. You'll get it next year. How did that go down? So the New York Times actually in December or, yeah, the article came out in December.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Times wrote a hit piece about me. It was like a complete BS. Saying what? I mean, they called me on the phone, I think, in November and they told me that they were going to write about my accomplishments and stuff. And I was like, okay, like for sure. That's awesome. New York Times. That's huge. Yeah. And then the interview called me and he was asking me like very odd questions. it was worded quite weird he was like so how does it feel to be a small like petite blonde gymnast like like doing so well with like with n i don't know i was just like why why does it matter that i'm petite blonde like you could just ask me about nil without like having to use these weird ways of saying it who is this guy i don't know the interviewer i don't know i just
Starting point is 00:18:33 It's kind of disrespectful. He probably lives right over the fucking pond, bro. Yeah, we have got somebody at the times, but that's crazy. Yeah, and I mean, then the article came out, and they came into the LSU facility, and they took pictures of me in a leotard, in the facility for this article. And, like, asked me to put, like, I was wearing my team-issued leotard. Like, that's what we have to wear. And they, when the article came out, it was a giant picture of me, just standing there
Starting point is 00:19:01 in a leotard. and the headline was sex cells. So I was like, so you're going to come into the gym. You're going to ask me to pose in our team issued attire and then put a headline sex. That was the title. Yes. And then in the article, they were saying that things I was doing
Starting point is 00:19:21 was a step back for women's athletics. How do you feel about the criticism with that? Was it written by a male too? Yeah. That's just crazy. And I mean, it was crazy. and then that's super disrespectful yeah it was it was really crazy so then even meeting you just for now i could tell you a lot more than that too which is like yeah but yeah so then i was like what i was like
Starting point is 00:19:44 this is whack like who says that like this is crazy so then i took the picture that they put on blast and then said and i put on my instagram story and then i wrote at new york times there's this too much because it was literally a picture of me in a leitard and then um i guess it caught Sports Illustrated's attention, and then they were like, we love that you clap back at the New York Times since they're such a major, they're so major. They just are. I mean, major news source. Yeah, major news source. They're huge. And yeah, I just, it was just. I mean, it's pretty crazy that it ends up benefiting you though. Yeah. There you go. Yeah, I guess silver linings, but you got to know to spin it too. Yeah. That's smart. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I mean, that's so stupid that they would like do that. Yeah, you can't control how you look at it. And it's not, I feel like a girl is not responsible how, for a boy's bad behavior, especially like if you're in a leotard, if that's like, because I knew that if the roles were reversed and let's say they went into the football facility, took a picture of one of the, the players working out without a shirt on, they would never put a giant headline sex sells that. Like, they just wouldn't. Like, it's because I'm standing there in a leotard. Like, it's, She was like, this guy keeps working so hard, like, look at his physique. Yeah, it was crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:05 It was like, but that's how I got Sports Illustrated's attention. I have a question. Like, how do you decide which partners and companies to, like, collab with, I wonder? This is going to sound, I mean, kind of cliche, but it's whatever feels right with me. And I mean, I don't just sell anything to my audience. I had never really sold anything until you can't, you couldn't sell anything before NIL changed. So kind of like whatever just feels authentic to me, my brand, whatever feels right and whatever I have time for, really. Most of the time, like, things are a time crunch because I'm quite busy with school, gymnastics.
Starting point is 00:21:42 So, yeah, whatever I have time for, too. I want to talk about that media shit before we forget, but like, does it ever, like, get to a point where you're, like, you kind of get burnt out from, like, all the media hate and, like, stuff like that? Like, does it ever affect you? I mean, I don't really look. This is going to sound kind of cliche, too, but I don't really look at the hate. There are so many people, like you said, about my cult following. Like, the demographic got my back. They do.
Starting point is 00:22:08 And I think they always will. Like, they're loyal. What's there to hate on you, too? That's, like, rare, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm just, like, doing what I've always done, but now there's more eyes on me. So there's always going to be people that, whenever you're at the forefront of something, there's always going to be people that have something to say, you know. For sure, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I'm sure you guys get it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he went, when you were in the bathroom, she was telling me that Mr. Beasts asked her to do a collab video. Yeah. Really? Did you do it? Gymnastics video.
Starting point is 00:22:34 No, I couldn't do it. I was going to Italy, but I probably would have, I don't know. I don't ever do YouTube. I was going to ask you to do a lot. I never even speak on camera, so this is like, quite special. I don't want to say that's, like, kind of surprising, but it kind of is for, because he's the biggest YouTuber in the world. Yeah. But how many people.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Probably doesn't have the most sauce, but yeah, he gets the most views. Well, we know that. Yeah. Like, this is, this is, this is. trust me you made a better choice doing this i'll tell you that but how many like social media people hit you up for a collab and do you because i don't see you do many yeah i definitely don't do youtube ever i mean i usually steer away from things that i have to talk in i mean especially youtube because i get nervous i'm like i don't know i just it's making i know i admire you
Starting point is 00:23:19 for coming on here thank you but um yeah and it's a lot of work putting together videos yeah on YouTube. So, I mean, maybe I'll try it. You should. I think it would cry. I think of Mr. Beast video, though, would be pretty. That would have been sick. Yeah. But I wasn't around. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Some kind of gymnastics collab thing. I would have been down, but. What about, like, on other platforms? People hit you up all the time to collab, and you just are like, why would I, you know what I mean? I mean, if it aligns what I do, then maybe I'll consider it. But this, like, our demographics align. definitely like I knew that this would be cool yeah I think it's gonna be cool especially you guys have talked to Joe that is I mean you have the same agent he's sick he went to LSU you guys well yeah
Starting point is 00:24:06 who would you who would you say was like the biggest person that's like DM'd you honestly I like in your eyes like that you've like whoa like you know what I mean it's not like whoa it's like I'm laughing oh laughing like who if you if you don't mind saying I mean 100% DMD you didn't respond but yeah I'm just telling you know I was laughing Definitely not the biggest But yeah You saw I appreciate

Starting point is 00:27:44 that's jokes all right well fuck all right That was good. How about social media-wise? Like, how did you get, like, when did it really take off on social media? Was it a specific moment or always just slow? I always, like I said before, I always love going. You're always posting, but was there ever a moment when it was like rocket shit type shit? Yeah, I was quarantined in Florida at our condo there.
Starting point is 00:28:10 And I would just do some flips on the beach and a bikini and a slow motion sparkle effect. And the people loved it, I guess. It was a little glimmer of happiness. or something in their day during COVID. Like, I don't know. I guess people like the flipping around on the beach videos. And, yeah, I kind of took off from there. And then I went to LSU and, like, right after that summer.
Starting point is 00:28:34 And people were just shocked that I even did real gymnastics. They were like, wait, she's actually a gymnast. Like, she doesn't just do beach nastics. Yeah. I've been doing it. I was on the USA national team. But, yeah, it was so funny to me how people had no clue that I actually did, like, the sport of gymnastics. They thought I just did flips on the beach for, like, a living.
Starting point is 00:29:00 How does that, so you have, how many gymnasts are there, female gymnasts on the team? 20. And does that cause any, like, controversy or, like, people's supportive? Because you have 20 or, let's say, 20 other girls who are also going out there competing, but the spotlight's really on you. It's funny because you say that, but when I'm in the gym training, like everyone, first of all, is treated so equal. Like, they don't care obviously how many followers you have. Like if you're an amazing gymnast, you're going to make a lineup. And if you're not doing your job, you're not going to make a lineup.
Starting point is 00:29:37 There's like no in between. You've got to be doing your job, especially if you're on scholarship at a D1 school. Like they don't care about your followers or anything. But also, I feel like whenever I'm with my teammates, too, it's like normal 20-year-old banter. Like, we're not talking about, like, brand deals. We're not talking about NIL, really, unless they're asking for a tip, I'll always give them tips. The only time I ever really talk about NIL is, like, if I do partner with a brand and I give them something, like, sometimes I like to give my teammates gifts, like if. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Yeah, and they do it. You splash from the teammates? That's like I splash on my people too Yeah I just He bought me lunch the other day Oh my gosh He's got me a coffee today
Starting point is 00:30:26 What a sugar daddy wow Yeah no wait I was gonna say I just picture you now like Pulling up to gym practice in a Lambo Like the not quite the same Definitely Uber black every time Yeah you're not taking that What do you pull up in I wonder
Starting point is 00:30:40 A Hyundai Alonra Really? With a driver or no driver Because I crash it so often Wait, really? Yeah. How? Because I, people just decide to bump into me. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Like from the bad? Oh, so it's never your fault. Yeah, no. They probably do it on purpose. Like that's Olivia, I got to talk to her and they hit your car. Yeah, I guess so. I don't know. Have you, once, I mean, we all know the money's come in.
Starting point is 00:31:01 You haven't been like, yo, I got to treat myself one time. I mean, I like to treat myself by traveling to see people that I want to see. The first thing I ever really splurged on was, for my mom's birthday. I got her a Canada goose jacket. That was like my first big girl purchase. And yeah, that was, I don't know, I never now and then. What? Buy you and your mom one after this if you want. I was expecting something a little crazier, but that's nice of you. No, I haven't done anything like, no, I'll get myself like, I'll get myself like a handbag
Starting point is 00:31:39 every now and then, but nothing crazy. I've thought about getting new car, but I just can't. I don't know. Louisiana's crazy. Do you have someone that looks out for like your finances and manages all the brands and money coming in? Financial advice, yeah. But I mean, my parents, they're just, they're so helpful. They help with everything.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Jules. Nice. She helps. Jules is everything. Jules is the, she helps me advise everything. She's my bodyguard. She does it all. Do you still have the Hyundai just so that like mentally like staying humble, I guess
Starting point is 00:32:13 for yourself? Or is it like... Honestly, it's not even my car. Yeah, I don't have a car. It's my sisters. And then people crash into me while I drive it. It's crazy. But yeah, I don't have a car.
Starting point is 00:32:25 It's technically my sisters. What car have you, like, looked into, like, damn, I want this? What's like a, yeah. What's like a 50 to 70K car? Yeah, what's your dream car? I would say... Not dream car. Dream car.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Well, we're talking in budget, but yeah. Okay, well, I want two. What was... I definitely want one that I could, like, go off-roading in New Jersey. oh wow like a jeep you're not kidding like I want like a bronco
Starting point is 00:32:50 or something I have a plug for that broncos are nice yeah I definitely want like a bronco but I also like vintage broncos those are sick um
Starting point is 00:32:58 is this real right now because I kind of feel like in your head you're saying I want a range rover but I'm gonna say Bronco for like no I definitely want like some kind of big
Starting point is 00:33:08 car like that like a big SUV like a bronco yeah you can't say the brand right there's probably all the brands in your emails your agent's email and then maybe like i don't know a Porsche there it is horses are sauce like a two-seater you're in shock on and i'm driving or not i guess it's just a scenario yeah okay i can't no i was just weirdly just popped into my head but yeah yeah i think maybe a Porsche i don't know i haven't really thought that far as it's harder than you
Starting point is 00:33:40 oh my god said baby drunk grace is harder than you you guys have no clue like What the hell is good with that kid? You're asking the wrong person, because I go on my phone one night, I see my name trending on Twitter. I'm like, oh, jeez. Like, what did I do now? He's like, oh, damn. Like, I was scared out.
Starting point is 00:33:58 You know, like, maybe I got canceled that I didn't even know. And then I click on it. And I, she was like, baby gronk, ris up, livy done. Livy is the drip king, queen, Livy Rizzler. And I was like, I was like, I did that. I did that. I was like, let's go. How does that go so viral?
Starting point is 00:34:17 I don't even know what it was. I was people just like clowning me for riszing up a 10-year-old. What did you say to him? Okay, so the whole thing with that. She tried to get him to come to LSU. You kind of did like, in his defense, like you kind of. Isn't he 10? Yes, but.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Yeah, it was not saying that, but it's like he's got. It was a bit fucked up. It was a bit fucked up, lady, too. I thought it was weird. I'm the Rizzler. Well, I mean, yeah. I see where you're coming. from. A lot of your people are like 12 years old.
Starting point is 00:34:46 I'm just playing. Yeah. I can't. But the whole thing with that, my teammate had reached out to me. And she was like, I told Baby Gronk that you would meet him outside the gym. And I was like, all right. I was like, okay, for a picture. And I was like, all right.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Like, I guess I'm meeting up with Baby Gronk. And then I go outside the gym and he's there, I think, with his dad. And I know that there's like some comments. But there's like some controversies with that right now. I saw that. But yeah, I ended up taking a picture and then they were like, make this video, hug him. Dude, obviously everything, you know how like videos are. Like if you want like something to go a certain way, like you just plan it behind the scenes.
Starting point is 00:35:28 They're like, you walk in now, you hug, you say this, and then you get off the screen. I mean, it was like, honestly, like, we had practice that day. I was like, I need to go get breakfast. Like, I was like on a time crunch too. and i thought i was just going to take a picture but i ended up being the risler i mean it's so obviously like it's so obviously like a skit like how do people even take that serious like are you ever surprised what goes so viral yes like i saw that i was like how after i was like did baby grunk like pay off the tabloids like to make this go viral i was his dad there yeah or i don't know
Starting point is 00:36:07 if it was his dad yeah i don't know i'm not sure exactly like if it was a manager or done i don't know what an interesting collab fade mr beast but i'll do a little gronk i did little gronk his face he's so he's so who connor no him clip god he's so happy he's so happy over there your face when you smile i smile whoa i honestly thought we had the best so far to everybody that's whatever you're going to say uh how do you decide how much of like what do you choose to keep private and what do you have like public yeah i mean i've learned probably this past year or actually the past two years that because i had a relationship my freshman and sophomore part of my sophomore year so you were in a relationship freshman year yeah
Starting point is 00:37:02 that freshman year and that one was more public too right yes it was more public and that how does that feel yeah wow because then i just my demographic is ruthless too they they didn't want me to have so was that when you do it public they're not happy so what he just got chirped like really yeah how can he get chirped i feel bad what do you mean he looks like the man no i don't i don't know i don't know but i just yeah it was just better to keep things private i mean like yeah i don't It must have been hard to keep a fire. What made you decide to make it public? Um, I mean, I was kind of just treating at how any other like 20 year old or like, I think
Starting point is 00:37:41 I was like 18, 19 at the time, like how any like 18 year old would like treat a relationship. Like I was happy. It was my first boyfriend. I was like, oh my gosh. I was head over heels, obviously. You still think about them or? I mean, obviously it's the first level. I'm generally asking.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Oh, but are you thinking about something right now or no? No, I'm just asking. Sleem's like the biggest lover boy in our squad. Yeah. Yeah. I love to love. That's good. Me too.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Me too. Yeah, I would definitely say I'm a softie. I really am. But no, I don't. How has it been like? But yeah, it was hard having that public relationship, especially being on the rise with a bunch of eyes on me. And it was just, I learned. I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:38:23 Maybe it's better to keep things private. Keep that private. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with that. Have you decided like, obviously after that relationship, like, have you ever looked for someone or been the type to like man it would be nice to still be in a relationship and do the things i do i love like doing i love going on dates really yes you love free meals
Starting point is 00:38:43 huh i'm just joking i'm joking i'm just joking i'm joking no but yeah you're right yeah i too there you go anything yeah i love i love going on dates i think that they're the best and I don't know. Yeah, and the best thing about a date is if it doesn't work out, then you don't have to go on another after. Yeah, no, but getting that shot, like, you got to put on. Those guys have the pressure. It's fun.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Like, a date should be fun. Like, sometimes people get nervous, like, but a date should be fun, and it should be a fun time. And if there's no chemistry. Does the guy that's just in your, like, macro class, random normal dude? You think I'm just a macro class? Okay, does the guy in American history get the, get the, like, hey, can we go out like would you give him a chance no not not on the team maybe he's in the business fraternity
Starting point is 00:39:34 smart but you got to be on a team and you got to be first trained for sure he's funny i've never you got to start on whatever team you're on you can't even be like bench like you got to right or wrong i don't even know if i've ever been into like a bench player oh my fault stop what is like what is like the three ideal dates for like guys out there like what's the three or like best date you could like take a girl on or like any like whatever the best day i could think of it okay best food is sushi love sushi beach sushi is the probably the best like two different things there's sushi on the beach sushi on the beach where do you're i've never done that actually i just made that up right now but i would like that if anyone's out there and no boo malibu that's why i know you're not getting laid
Starting point is 00:40:18 that's what i'm saying like there's only one spot like it's like baller spots sushi on the beach nobu malib yeah yeah i love nobu me too that's where i've been in the Malbu location? Yeah, that's where I um. Who took you there? Well, my agent. If you guys needed Rezo, I got you. Because I know you'll ask me. No, but my... I could probably get in there, hopefully. The last time I went there, I'm pretty... There's paparazzi out there, though, so great. Is there? At Nobu, probably, yeah. Yeah, for sure. No, I went there one time with my agent, and we met up with Joe Burrow. We were there for Connor McGregor's birthday dinner. Oh, wow. Yeah. So it was me.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Joe Burrow, Jules was there, my mom, and Connor McGregor's family. Yeah, no, we just, that's it? Yeah, and then it was like the surgeon. This is, and like, it's kind of, it's a pretty small squad. But yeah, and then it was the surgeon that did Connor McGregor's leg surgery. He was throwing Connor's birthday dinner, and he also did Joe's surgery. And, yeah, he's worked with some gymnast, too. I don't know, somehow everyone's, like, connected.
Starting point is 00:41:24 The dinner was very fun. How was Connor? He's cool. That was a week he broke his leg, so he couldn't come to his birthday dinner. Oh, he didn't show. But his family was awesome. They were asking me to do flips on the beach, and they were, like, joking, but they were, like, they were really chill. Yeah, they were chill.
Starting point is 00:41:38 But, yeah, he didn't feel good or something because he had to. Do you see the Connor McGregor documentary? No. It's pretty dope. I can't sit in machos. Really? Are you serious, right? No, I'm, I think you'd like it because he's like, it's about his, like, athletic story.
Starting point is 00:41:51 It's a documentary. It's pretty sick. I even got inspired by it. I thought it was cool. Oh shoot Yeah, I usually can't sit through I don't know I watch shows all the time
Starting point is 00:41:59 Not a big Netflix and chiller I can't just I can't chill So there's no shows There's no shows that you do watch Or they Um No
Starting point is 00:42:09 Really No I'm not that Not even back in the day Like I used to like SpongeBob Like Big Disney channel person I was definitely a Nickelodeon
Starting point is 00:42:19 Not Disney But no I can't think of anything What do you do Like what are some Free Time thing that you do. I mean, don't have much. Usually, like, if I'm going, like, if I have free time to chill, then I'm trying to think of content. Yeah. Or I, like, talk to my friends, talk to teammates.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Back to the relationship stuff. Um, I really actually want to generally know. So, I mean, have you been on a date with a guy that has been at LSU? Like, just in a class, you know, like, like, you're like, oh, he's cute, you know? Like, why not? No. Are you serious? Damn. That's fair. I mean, that's fair. Those kids can't do sushi on the beach, bro.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I would. No. But I just haven't. There's still one more year for that. I have one more year left. You never know what's going to happen. I don't go to class, though. I do all my classes online, so.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Be honest, be honest. Do nice guys finish last? Seriously. No. No, I don't think so. I mean. Really? I learned that the hard way.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Well, to open up the door, you know what I mean? Everybody has a great personality. I've gone for like the, I've gone for like the, I've gone for. like the bad boy and they they always win they finish last i've learned like they're what do they are they are they last temporarily and then at the end they kind of wait what do you mean the the bad guy because i feel like girls say that though like you know what i'm saying like girls will say that they'll be like nice guys finish last and then like they'll fade the bad boy for a bit and then like the bad boy finishes on top in the end i cannot i i can't like mentally handle especially right now
Starting point is 00:43:50 with everything i got going on like someone that's trying to like that doesn't allow me to do what I need to do for like my work and stuff and like well definitely not that yeah so do you like sims you like like not sims per se but more like like guys that are just gonna you know be a simp basically yeah quote unquote there's I feel like there's no shame in being a sims true I don't think so either I agree I yeah and you know Stein can talk about that sometimes I was telling him about that like I like to move quick and like make sure that the girls taking care of sushi on the beach night one obviously set the bar high that's how i look at it yeah like if someone asked you go to capri tomorrow two first class
Starting point is 00:44:27 seats would you do it yeah it's done see what goes real quick no but yeah i feel like being like the term simp is just like like i like i like i like i'm telling you it's a new way what else you're gonna do at this point like what's the flip side of being a simp you know like playing it slow like you got to you got to do something that you're gonna be like when we're saying simp are we saying, like, Livy's, like, more successful than them? No, no, no, no, no, no. I like someone that will, like, obviously we can have a good time. That's, like, love, like, you know.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Yeah, I feel like every girl wants that. Yeah, but also someone that can, like, be sarcastic and joke around and stuff. Like, I like, obviously someone that's funny and, like, can take a joke. What's the crazy experience you've had with, like, a sicko fan? Because I feel like you've had some definite. Run-ins. Oh, man. The craziest.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Jules, can you think of anything right now? Yeah, 10 people had to get thrown out of the College World Series stadium. I mean. For what? Have you ever had them? Yeah, they were trying to, like, jump over the fence and, like, touch me. Wow. Has a guy ever gotten your name tatted on them?
Starting point is 00:45:46 Yeah. I mean, that's. That's pretty crazy. Like a random dude. It was on his thigh. Yes. It said, I heart, Livy, done. I was like, I don't even like myself that much.
Starting point is 00:45:57 That's fucking weird. I know. That's not the right way to do things, I don't think. I don't know what that guy's goal was, but that's like... He got my attention, though. Got your attention for what? A few minutes, and then it's like, now he's got to live with that. His kids are going to be like, who's Livy done, huh?
Starting point is 00:46:12 Some chick I loved and never met. It's insane. I'm trying to think of other things. Cancel your tattoo appointment, eh? Yeah. Well, I mean, whatever. It was definitely you No it was not
Starting point is 00:46:24 That's why you're wearing long pants Yeah Yeah it's probably on his ass I'm wearing that out I'm trying to think of other crazy things Mostly like people trying to like jump things To like Get a poke
Starting point is 00:46:38 I don't know Get a pick I don't know This is a little off topic But are you trying to like be the best gymnasts still I Yeah this is my last year Like competing wise
Starting point is 00:46:47 Yeah last year was really hard for me since I had a bunch of injuries. I have two torn labrums right now, and yeah, I just, it kills. My favorite event is bars, so it just, it hurts when I swing bars, and I didn't get it repaired, but, sorry, I have one more year left, and I also had a stress reaction in my shin this past year, which it just killed. I couldn't even, like, go on my toe, it was killing me, which started right at the beginning of my season, too, which was such a...
Starting point is 00:47:19 It was such a buzzkill, but yeah, I'm hoping this last year, this is my last year ever of gymnastics, and I've been doing it since I was three, so that's crazy about in the first place. I'm hoping that it's my best year yet. I mean, I feel good. I'm healthy right now. It's really hard in the summers and stuff, though, because I'm traveling so much to find the time to train, but this year's definitely mentally different for me than the past three years at LSU since it's like this is my last year.
Starting point is 00:47:49 It's not even about having the eyes on me. I'm like, I just want to do it for myself. And this is like going to sound kind of like sappy. But for like the gymnast that I once was like when I was younger because I had worked so hard when I was on the USA national team. And, you know, just making the team and putting putting myself through all of that and just one more year, make it my best. Damn. See how it is. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:48:15 That fired me up, honestly. Yeah. Yeah. Are you ready to put on a leotard and do flips? Oh, shit. I don't know about that. You're ready. I think you're ready.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Steinie would, I think. LSU gym 2024. Let's go. Definitely Steiner. Definitely Stein. I'm curious, but now you see all these girls, like, there's a couple other girls out there that, like, put on their university a little bit? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Like in Miami or whatever. Does the school treat you different or anything like that? Because it is kind of crazy the amount of, like, noise that you guys make for your school. Yeah, I mean, LSU, like I said, treats all their athletes equally. They treat their athletes there, like, their royalty. I mean, when I was on my recruiting trip, it was rooftop dinner with the whole team head coach. They, like, rolled out the red carpet for me. They had the president of the university there, like, they did it all.
Starting point is 00:49:05 And it was awesome. They treat their athletes really well. And even with the NIL rule change, like, immediately the day after it was on the big screen in Times Square, NILSU. Which is cool So there is a bunch of people from LSU That came to the city And yeah I mean they're so supportive with NIL
Starting point is 00:49:26 Like they have so many Resources and amenities And they They want to be at the lead of NIL And I think they're doing a pretty good job right now Can you say what your biggest like bag was For a single brand deal You don't have to say what it was
Starting point is 00:49:40 I would I usually don't ever talk about like money But obviously it's I don't mean in a flexi way it's just more just like we're in the business of social media too so i think it's cool just like i mean you built like such a crazy business for yourself like being the number one most paid female athletes crazy like but yeah if you don't want to say yeah i would say well really for me what i what i love with certain brands is getting long-term brand deals those are probably the best
Starting point is 00:50:12 because you build a relationship with the brand and they want you year after year and you know sometimes they will pay you more as the years go on but yeah i just love building the relationship with with the brands but i would say it's six figures under 500 over yeah i'm yeah yeah not so specific number yeah but yeah i'm i'm very fortunate i mean it's it's just crazy to me oh you're good but it was for a post yeah i mean mom gets just a canadian goose that's that's right at the beginning that's right when the rule change give me a break no that's crazy good for you that's awesome that's fine yeah it's crazy yeah yeah how do you balance or what do you think about now that like your following came a lot because people like guys obviously love like
Starting point is 00:51:05 your looks and stuff do you ever think that there's not enough focus on your other accomplishments besides that because obviously you seem like a very smart girl we know you crush it athletically yeah there's just so many different places that people follow me from like TikTok there's people from sports illustrated there's people that I've been following my career for such a long time that it's hard to like satisfy everyone's needs yeah and I just feel like if you follow me for the gymnastics and awesome, but also there's new eyes on me that maybe don't really care that much about the gymnastics, but potentially could start watching the sport, which is really cool to me. Bringing in a new audience and new eyes to the sport, which is sick.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Yeah, anyone that hates on that, it's just stupid. It's like the same thing as kind of like the Jake Paul thing, I guess, too, like in a way. What about music? Do you have any, what's your like go-to, fire you up before you go to the beam? Oh, man. Well, you have a beam song. Oh, you do? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Of course you do. No, but like in the locker room. Yeah. In the locker room, oh my gosh. My teammates, we just have, we play some Baton Rouge, Kevin Gates. Like, we get down. Oh, Kevin Gates. We go crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:18 I don't get tired. Yeah. That's a great song. Yeah, I like that song. Yeah, I like that song. Really? At every meet. It's a great song.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Yeah, we go crazy. That's awesome. With that song, ironic that you say. I got two phones, maybe, no. Yeah. I got two. Do you? What else?
Starting point is 00:52:33 I like Kevin. I actually do. You have two phones? Yeah. One for the plug and one for the... You have two phones? For what? What does he say?
Starting point is 00:52:38 One for the plug and one for the... One for the hose, but I mean... Yeah. One for the dudes, I guess. You have a Riz phone? What? You have a Riz phone? It's a Motorola.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Ah. Oh my God. It takes good mirror picks. That's all that sees for? Yeah. Literally, right Jules? Like, literally. Yeah, it makes me look snatch.
Starting point is 00:53:00 I like the Motorola. Wow. Long-term brand deal? Yeah. Man, maybe I should try that out. Mirror picks, though? No, I don't really take those. None of us do.
Starting point is 00:53:10 You like, you like those. What else? What's your, like, top three favorite artists? I got, I don't know. I listen to so many different, I like country a whole lot. I love country. I don't really listen to rap all that much. It kind of depends on the mood. I can't really think off the top of my head.
Starting point is 00:53:26 I love. What about the chain smokers? Yeah, they're sick. I like, I like the chainsmongers. What about little baby? I like little baby. Me too, my favorite. He came to LSU.
Starting point is 00:53:36 He performed there. Really? Yeah. For you? Yeah. Did he? No. Oh.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Would he perform by like a frat house? No, he, in the PMAQ, which is like the basketball arena. Oh, shit. Yeah. Pretty sick. How about what side are you on? Like, Gunner or Young Thug? Gunna.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Yeah. What? Oh, really? Yeah. Whoa. Actually, I don't, I don't know too much about rap at all. I just said gunna because I don't know the other one you said. Got to be careful around you now.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Buck. Yeah, I know. No, you're good. Yeah, I don't know. Do you. What do you want your, your legacy to be when you leave LSU? Yeah, I mean, I'm starting a fund. It's called the Livy Fund, and it's to provide more NIL opportunities for the women athletes at LSU. And most of the collectives, the NIL collectives, they go to the men's sports. So I'm creating my own collective for the women's sports. So I hope that I can really help educate other women about NIL. And just, I mean, anyone, if anyone needs help with NIL, I mean, it's such an unprecedented terrain still. I mean, it really is. So hopefully this fund is part of my legacy. Damn. So how does that, like, all the money will go to, like,
Starting point is 00:55:03 female athletes at LSU? Yeah, it's not going to be like free money just hand it out. Yeah. It's going to be like they're going to have to do NIL deals for this money that you know, potentially they the brand may have not seen like
Starting point is 00:55:17 maybe one of my teammates. They might not know her, but hopefully I can help them get in contact. Okay, that's dope. With like certain athletes if they want NIL opportunities. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:30 That's amazing. Yeah, good for you here. Thank you. Is your content going to change once you graduate LSU? Can you do, would you do like you to get ready with me's or anything like that? What about a daily vlog? I don't, I never vlog. How many get ready with mes do you watch?

Starting point is 00:56:22 I need my phone in hand And I can point out my favorite person I mean Alex Earl, she's sick She's on the rise She's from New Jersey Oh, yeah I don't know
Starting point is 00:56:33 Yeah What's a dream collab Or someone you'd really want to work with Oh Shaquille O'Neal How's that not happened yet? I feel like that should have happened It's got it
Starting point is 00:56:45 It's got to happen Have you met him? You haven't met him right? No I mean I've seen him at football games And stuff standing there watching We did a pod with him I met him last year in LSU
Starting point is 00:56:54 He was like a third guest ever right? Yeah Yeah He was in Baton Rouge last year I want to meet him bad He's cool He's sick He's just a legend
Starting point is 00:57:01 He's amazing, yeah. What would you do with Shaq? It was just a TikTok? Take a picture. I don't know. Crack some jokes. He's hilarious. What's like one thing that some people just don't know about you
Starting point is 00:57:16 or something that you wish they did know? I would say, ooh, that's a good question. Good question. Probably people think I'm very serious. I feel like certain poses that I do online. And it's like very serious, kind of like a more of a seductive look, like smolder on my face. I'm not like that at all. Like I, like my sister's literally like shaking her head over there.
Starting point is 00:57:44 I'm literally so weird. Like I don't even know how to like describe it. Like I just love to have a good time. And a lot of the times like girls are kind of standoffish to come up to me and talk. to me. I don't, a lot more, they're not as forward as, as the guys, but I love meeting the girl fans. And, you know, a lot of the times when people start talking to me, they're like, wow, like, you're not, you're a lot nicer than I thought, than I thought you'd be. And I was like, like, I mean, I only started TikTok and stuff and because I was homeschooled. I was like,
Starting point is 00:58:26 I did start a TikTok when it was cringe. Like it was Yeah, I started TikTok When was it cringe It's always been like that When the dancers were doing it When it was like You know before it became popular
Starting point is 00:58:38 Before quarantine like 2019 I'm just laughing He used to do that He lokeyed did the dances back in the day You would never believe it Yeah he did Don't make me pull up your TikToks Oh my goodness
Starting point is 00:58:49 No but I started it when it was like cringe Because I was homeschooled And I just made it a little further than like the rest I guess Like, I just would sit at home and I was like, I mean, I wouldn't interact with people my age, really. I trained with one other girl throughout probably, probably for like eight years with just one other girl. So I was like, I'm going to connect with people through TikTok. And then it just worked out.
Starting point is 00:59:19 And I was like, oh, my, it's crazy. I don't want to, like, take away from anything. But, like, are you kind of surprised on, did it feel easy? like when you're just doing TikToks and you just blow up and see that amount of success? It's definitely, it's cool, it's rewarding, but I would say it takes like consistency and having like the right idea of what your audience wants to see. You guys get it. I mean, you know when you post something, you're like, ah, that's not going to, that's not going to do well.
Starting point is 00:59:49 You've got to have a feel for it. Yeah, some people got to feel. Yeah. I just fire everything. Why not? But yeah, I mean, I definitely, I think it takes, honestly, a skill to blow up. It kind of just happens to some people, if something's funny, but people like, I would say Alex Earle, for instance, the girl has been consistent for so long.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Yeah. And she knows what her audience wants to see. And that's, I have mad respect for her because she grinded and would make this content all the time, even when she didn't have a big following and even before she blew up. but her consistency like it paid off for sure and definitely like you got to know what your audience wants to see and that's kind of how I feel like I ended up gaining my followers yeah it's dope what about your parents how do they feel about all this oh my gosh they they just think it's crazy like especially you're going to like Yankees games and like just seeing how people
Starting point is 01:00:50 react how does your dad react when you have like four dudes running up and like I need a picture on your picture to see you like offensive like no I mean he just wants to make sure you're safe I'm safe I'm safe no one hurts me was your dad at the world series no my sister was my bodyguard oh I would have love to see your dad's reaction when like the 55 year old to ask for an autograph that would have been like don't talk to her daughter oh my gosh yeah my dad he just like he thinks it's crazy I mean I think he he honestly like he doesn't he doesn't care if if i'm safe he's happy yeah that's awesome i think he thinks it's cool he's like oh my gosh i can't believe that social media has paid off like this both my parents they're like
Starting point is 01:01:35 yeah old fashioned obviously yeah they help me with everything that's awesome and i mean they help me schedule things and they just help they help that's good that's good what do you think's like an achievement or a goal or a dream that you want to get to when you're like okay finally or you've already accomplished so much but something you're like wow i really did make it yeah Um, you know what? I was completely just mind blown when Sports Illustrated approached me. That was a dream of mine. Last summer, I literally put it on my vision board.
Starting point is 01:02:12 And I told my sister, she helped me put together this picture of me. She got a picture me at the beach, got the Sports Illustrated logo. And she's like, look at this.
