Speaker 1 (00:03):
The following is a presentation of the College Athletes Network.
What's up, guys, you are listening to Twin Talk. I'm Hannah.
I'm Haley, and we are the Kavner Twins. We have
an amazing guest coming on, a very very exciting guest.
(00:25):
I cannot wait to talk to her live Morgan that's
her stage name for w w E, but she's also
known as Gianna Daddy. Oh if I'm pronouncing that right, Yes,
but yes, we met her at SummerSlam in Nashville. She
is a w w E wrestler. So we cannot wait
to show you guys and hear more about her. But
before then, we're gonna be talking about actually our Nashville trip.
(00:46):
It was our first trip to Nashville. You guys. I
am up set Nashville. Anyone that goes to Nashville like
wants to move there. It's nash Vegas. Talking to Livy
on the first episode, like she's like Nashville Girls ship,
Like it's like it brings everything, you know what I mean.
You have great music, great, free drinks, great like anything
you want, the serotonin. And I think when we first arrived,
(01:09):
like it was just right right from the start. I mean,
obviously we're twenty one. So we went and we landed
and there was a bar and it was called Titsies.
And Haley and I watched the show Nashville. Um it
was called Nashville Nashville. Obviously, I don't know if you
guys have watched it, but it's an amazing chair. You
guys should. And it was Tutsis was in the show,
and I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna drink buddy,
(01:30):
Mary hand me right now, like and all our families.
There was such a vibe. It really was being able
to experience Nashville and then tying in W W E
and obviously that all playing out was so fun because
it was like I did not know what to expect,
and then going there, I'm like, oh my gosh, I
could do this one day, like Haley said, And then
just going on Broadway at night with our family, like
experiencing um Dirks and Toby Keith's bar and just like
(01:53):
all the different bars. It was just like it's just
so fun, Like it's like a fun time. Like the
outfits you put into the way beforehand you think you're
gonna do your bachelor party there. I would do my
bachelor party, like my bachelor girls, Like, that's where our party, naturale,
Like that's where I wanted. It's so fun. What was
your favorite bar that we went to on Broadway? Well,
(02:13):
first of all, you left me. I don't even want
to bring that up. Hannah left me my first night
in Broadway by myself. My whole family went out. I
know that we're all twenty ones. I can talk about
this here, but my whole family went out to Broadway
the first night we got there. Um, and we just
have like freedom and stuff to hang and chill. Well,
all of a sudden, it was like not even. It
was like one am. And Hannah's the type of girl
when she goes out, it's like okay, when she's ready
(02:34):
to go, she's leaving regardless, sister. I went to Nashville
to go to country music bars. I mean, obviously I
love Jaysontons is my favorite bar. But heally wanted to
go to some club. I'm not going to a club
I wanted. I wanted to be like, I wanted to
be singing freaking Morgan Wallen song. I don't want to
(02:56):
be listening to Miami music. I do that all the time.
So that was my playing. Sorry guys, my voice. My
voice once again, it's very it's on. I just wanted
to harp on that. But yeah, Hannah left me and
so then I was like, oh my gosh, like I
don't know how you go back to the I was
with Alexei, But I don't know how me Alexei made
it well Alexey, Alexei and me, we wanted to leave
(03:16):
these people that we were with, and they were very
um apparent, they were very big on wanting us to stay.
And they're like, oh, let's go to the next bar
or whatever. I mean, like, you're like, we're just gonna
go to the bathroom. All the girls, you know, if
you're listening to always, it's always the bathroom, Like we're
gonna go to the bathroom. Then we dipped. But no,
I just remember the first night I got home at
like three thirty and then all my family. I woke
up the next days in my room and I'm like,
(03:37):
I had a night. I definitely had a night there
those nights. But we you know, we make sure she
gets home. Yeah, but Hanna's the type of girl that
she's gonna go home regardless. She'll get her sleep regardless
setting everyone now I will if I don't. I was like,
I'm there for country music. I got my country music.
Like that's literally what I listened to pre game. I'm
not switching up. It's like it's my I love it.
So I mean, yeah, it was. It was a great
(03:59):
time for sure. Yeah, and then that then the Saturday
we got to go to the Summer Nashville AM and
being able to experience that. We're gonna talk about that
with live when she comes on here, so you guys
will be able to hear from her experience too from it.
But yeah, we met her there and meeting everyone else
as well. We had Gabby Butler on our podcast and
she was there. So it was just such a fun
trip because like everyone came together and they're like all
(04:21):
tight in Like I I generally did not know that
the w w E like audience and fan base is
um so loyal and just so um so into w
w E. Like. It was great. You know, it was
a great atmosphere and a great um thing to do
with our family. I loved it. It It was definitely one
of my favorite trips. So what's our tag team name?
I don't know. I don't know you guys are gonna
(04:42):
have to stay tuned. We'll be right back on twitteralk
on the College Athletes Network with Ms liv Morgan. Stay tuned,
(05:03):
Welcome back to twin Talk. We are so excited to
bring w w D wrestler Live Morgan onto the show.
She's a SmackDown champion. This is gonna be so awesome.
We're such huge fans honestly, so to have you on here,
Ben Girling for sure, but thank you so much to
Live for joining us. No, I'm so excited, thank you
for having me. You guys are so cool. I'm like
(05:23):
on their show. Okay, So I just want to get
right into it. So, how would you describe your life
right now? Like with w TWOB what's it like? How
crazy is that? I'm curious to know to like honestly, yeah,
I mean honestly, it's like it feels normal to me.
It's like my normalcy. It's what I've been doing since
I was twenty years old and I'm twenty eight now,
so it's just like my whole adult life. It's all
(05:44):
I've known. But it's pretty insane. I mean, for one,
like you're on call, like you know, like days off
you might have a day off, but that means like
it's still get a phone call that I need to
fly out here, or I need to go film this,
or I need to go you know, do whatever. So
it's always on call. My typical schedule is like I
will fly out to where our TV is on Thursday.
(06:05):
We do our TV. I'm on Smackdowns on Friday night,
SmackDown on Fox, and then I'm usually big booked on
the live events. And the live events are like our
non televised shows, so it's only for the ticket paying fan,
you know. Um so flya out Thursday, I have TV Friday,
drive to the next town on Saturday, do the show,
drive to the next time for Sunday. Sunday to the show,
and then fly home Monday. So I have like Tuesday, Wednesday,
(06:27):
and half of Thursday to kind of get my life
back together. Oh that's that's excessive. That's a lot. That
sounds awesome. I mean yeah, And there's no off season either,
so it's not like a quarter of the year. It's like,
so at first when you first started, is it harder
to get on to SmackDown? I don't know much about it,
(06:47):
but it's harder to get those live shows and stuff
or is it the process for sure? So, um, when
you first get signed, I guess like depending on your experience,
but when you first get signed, typically you're going to
be asked to move to Florida, which is where Orlando, Florida,
which is where our performance center is, and um, you
pretty much learned everything from scratch. There. You have like
a five day a week training regiment where you work out,
(07:10):
you do your your ring work, you have promo class,
extra ring training, and you're pretty much doing that schedule
for however many years until they feel like they could
trust you on live TV. You know what you're doing,
you know how to bomb properly, you have your character
work down, you know how to speak with a live
microphone for millions of fans, you know, and the thousands
(07:32):
of people in the arena. So it's a lot of prep,
a lot of extensive training. UM n X t UM.
It's almost like JV in a way. And then I
want three years. It took me like three years. It
felt like twenty though, like I didn't know that for
so long. Yeah, three years, But it kind of varies.
(07:53):
Now some people have been in there for like six years,
Some people are there for six months. It's really like, um,
a right place, right time kind of thing. That also
meets like preparedness, you know, the right look and they're like,
let's bring her up, you know. And so all your
training is done on the road, which is even harder.
So what goes into the training? Um, So you learn
(08:16):
how to roll because rolling is just part of kind
of any um movement that you would kind of do
in the rings. So you learn roles. You learn how
to bomp, which is how to fall, so you learn
how to back. But I'm from bump flip, bomp, So
any kind of maneuver that you would take in the
ring doesn't absolutely like kill you, you know, like you
kind of learned how to absorb it. And then, um,
(08:39):
you just learned the basics, like how to lock up,
which is like the first kind of thing that you
see in wrestling. It's kind of like gauging your opponent,
gauging their way, their body, feeling their body language. Um,
you learn how to chain wrestle, which is pretty much like, um,
how would I describe it? I guess like, do you
guys like watching freestyle wrestling like um, Matt wrestling like
(09:01):
in high school. I guess, like you know, it's just
like the constant transitions, transitions, transitions, just trying to stay
on top of each other. You go through a phase
of learning that and then um, once you kind of
I feel like at the groundwork, then you kind of
kind of like your snack into it, your flavor, your personality.
But it's like extensively learning the basics and making sure
(09:23):
that you're safe and you can keep your opponents safe.
For the most part, um, accidents happen all the time.
Um yeah, it's pretty much just hours and hours of
learning the basics, the fundamentals, um, the etiquette in ring etiquette. Yeah,
that's that's crazy. I didn't know like all that time
(09:44):
went into it, So I mean, oh yeah, it has to.
I mean, for like the ten minute matches that you
would see on live TV, that just takes like years
and years and years, years and years of preparation. Because
also sometimes we have a match and they'll be like,
all right, live you have ten minutes, and then something
happened where there was a timing error, and now of
(10:04):
a sudden, I have three minutes, so I need to
cut down seven minutes on the fly on live TV
and for you to not have been trained to do that,
it gets like really really really scary. Yeah, super important,
that makes sense. And also I just like you guys
make it look so easy, like going to w D
and Super in Nashville, like the Summer Slam, Like yeah,
(10:28):
that was so sick. Yeah. Um, it's a lot. But
I think once you train and learn, like the ins
and out is a little bit, it seems less scary
and you kind of just learn how things work. I
think it's like picking up anything. Like I honestly like
I cannot even shoot a basketball with both hands. I
shoot with one handed. I don't know why. I don't
know why, but I, um, you know, I feel like
it's picking up anything. It's scary and you feel like
(10:50):
how does anyone even you know, become talented at that?
But it's just hard work and practice And I know
because yeah, because honestly watching it, because just like you said, um,
the w W SummerSlam, like that was so fun like
in all honestly seeing like you guys this fan base
and like you know how like into it and like
everybody is just like you know, the love and like
(11:12):
the competitive nature. Like I was like so excited about
it and like meeting you guys, like it was so fun.
I just want to tell you that like that, I
really but the fan base is like insane and the
best way possible. Yeah, they are crazy, but they are amazing.
They're so righte or die. Um. They ride so hard
for everyone in the w W. They find out stuff
(11:36):
that I don't even know. You know, they're so honest
with the news and what's happening. Um, they're so so incredible.
I feel like they're unlike any fans in the whole
entire world. Right. I literally thought I was like the
super Bowl. When I went into the room, I was like, okay,
like w w oh, yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy, and um,
you guys should come to WrestleMania. If you thought SummerSlam
(11:57):
was insane, which it was, Like, WrestleMania is like our
super Bowl. It's like the biggest show of the whole
entire year. Is that a. Um? Yeah, it's in l
A this year at Sophie. Um, so we're all super excited.
I think we're going to live. I think we're going
to cool. Oh, we cover you and I I know
we need to hang out for you guys to see WrestleMania.
(12:17):
It's by far like the grandest show of the whole
entire year. It's like what we all work towards all
year to hopefully be able to compete out of WrestleMania.
So well, I was so glad you guys are going, okay, cool,
I let me see you there. So I was when
we were watching at the Summer Slam. I noticed like
everybody walked out and kind of has like a stage walk,
a stage walk, So did you naturally create that or like,
(12:40):
how was your entrance made? Yeah? So pretty much. Um,
sometimes you get help with it, like if your producers
have something specific for you in mind. But for the
most part, we're really allowed to create our own characters
around personas, are around ring gear, anything that you see.
It's kind of like we have both of our hands
(13:01):
dipped in there. You know. They like to say the
best characters like an extended version of yourself. So however
you want your character to be, Yeah, you would take
that character traite and just turn it up to like
twenty seven. You know, Um, it's just you turned all
the way up. So for my entrance, honestly, for me,
that was the scariest part. Um, I grew up like
not with at Like I didn't grow up with attention
on me, eyes on me. I didn't play sports that much,
(13:23):
per say, So I was so scared and nervous to
have the spotlight on me. Like I've done truelading, but
that's a very much a team sport. You see all
of us at the same time, you know, But this
was for this one minute, all the spotlight and all
the eyes are gonna be on you, and it literally
terrified me. It's scared me more than wrestling in the ring.
So it took me a while actually to get comfortable.
(13:46):
I feel like I just got super comfortable being uncomfortable
because I was always uncomfortable. And then um, eventually, um,
you just stopped caring what people think. You stopped caring
how you look, because it's such a huge part of
what w w E is character right, these larger than
live personnel is your entrance is the first thing people
see about you. So it has to be something that
(14:08):
is entertaining and something that speaks to you. Um, but
my entrance, I kind of just come out and I
just kind of just soak in the crowd. I enjoyed
the crowd. They're like a major part of my entrance.
So you always have like live signs that are wanting
me to like, you know, grab their hands. So I
always include them in my insurance and I just smile
and dance and twirrow flip my hair. Yeah they love you,
(14:29):
thank you. Yeah, I love them. That's sick though. So
obviously like your biggest we're one of your biggest moments
right now was your SmackDown Champion and you beat Rhonda Rousy.
So how was how was that okay? In the whole
empire world? To beat or twice? It was amazing, honestly, Um.
Growing up a huge fan of w B since I
(14:49):
was five years old. Um, you know, the goal is
to b B Women's Champion, and so to win money
in the bank, which was a huge goal of mine,
and to cash in the same night on Rhonda Rousey.
And when the smack a Woman's title, my first ever championship,
it was unreal. Um. And it's so crazy because I
feel like leading up to that moment, I was so
(15:12):
emotional every week on TV, I was like crying and
I just was like saying how much this means to me,
how bad I wanted And then when I finally got it.
Like that night, I had no emotion, Like I couldn't
feel a thing. I just was shocked. But I was
so happy and I just was having like pinched me moments.
Um it was it felt huge. It was like so
(15:32):
big that I couldn't even really grasp it. And so
the whole night I thought I was gonna go out
and celebrate. We're in Vegas. I was like, Oh, I'm
gonna go party, but I didn't. I just did in
my hotel room and I just like sat quietly by
myself and just kept watching it over and over and
I was like, oh, my gosh, I really did do this.
That's so sick. It was the best night in my
whole entire life by far. That's crazy, though, Like to
(15:54):
be able to like visit like growing up watching and stuff,
and then I feel like getting to that moment and
like completing that goal, you know, Like that's crazy. It
was insane. And also like there's so many little intricacies
so that like, um, I used to wear a Hooters
and we used to have UFC nights, and so I
would literally be working at Hooters watching rounda Rousey knock
out Girls. In ten seconds, you know what I mean,
never thinking that one day I'd be wrestling her for
(16:18):
the SmackDown Women's Championship and life was just so crazy
how it kind of works out full circle? For sure? Yeah,
for sure? So weird. So did you ever hang outside
like of the ring with Round like Ronda or was
it more I have I mean since our title feud, No,
I mean, we've steered pretty far away from each other.
But beforehand, yeah, you know, I think I was like
(16:39):
actually one of her first friends here in WW aside
from the girls that she already knew prior, so we
had we had a good friendship. That's why when I
won the title. Um, I feel like anyone else in
the world would have been mad, you know, because of
how I wanted. I cashed in a contract that gave
me the opportunity to win the title at any point
in time. So she had just finished wrestling and I
(17:00):
chose that moment to cash in, you know. So she
could have been mad at me, but she respected what
I did and she was actually happy for me, and
she was happy that I had one. So it was cool.
But yeah, now no, I don't like anymore. Okay, So
you just kind of mentioned how you were working, you
were watching Rhonda Rousey on TV. So, like what led
(17:21):
you to w dB, Like how did you get into it?
Like life before w W. So, I just grew up
a huge fan since I was like five years old.
I had four older brothers and I was such a
tomboy growing up. I wanted to be just like my brothers,
and so obviously I watched wrestling and I fell in
love with it. I feel like for me personally, it
was kind of like a form of like escapism, Like
no matter what was going on in my life at home,
(17:43):
with my family, with school, with anything, UM, I could
watch the WW and forget about the world for however
many hours it was on. And I saw it and
I completely fell in love with it right away, and
I knew that that's what I wanted to do when
I got older. UM. And then I was fortunate enough
to meet this um, the strength coach this world where
(18:03):
own strength and conditioning coach named Jodah Franco Um. He
trained just some professional athletes really and so he trained
triple H and so UM after training with him for
a week or two, he pretty much UM told'd be like, Hey,
how this girl here, she loves w B, she's athletic,
she's been training with me. I think she might be
worth a look for a tryout, and so they gave
(18:26):
my information and then six months later I flew from
my tryout and then I got signed, and like the
rest of this history, it just was like right place,
the right moment. It was very insane. That's sick like
growing up like being a diehard fan and then being
able to you know, yeah, it was very, very very weird.
It was just, Um, I feel like I got so lucky,
like she just very grateful. I got blessed, and it just, um,
(18:49):
I was able to make my dream come true. That's awesome.
So you were talking about UM obviously like strength and conditioning.
Do you guys have to UM obviously like follow a
specific diet or do you have to eat a certain way?
Like how many times do work out? Yeah, So when
you're an n x T, which was I was saying,
kind of like the developmental system when I would say,
(19:10):
like you know, like j v UM, you're on a
strict regiment. They don't really give you diet plans or
mail plans. They give you suggestions, you know, like they
could help out if you are if you don't know
how to prep your meals or if you don't know
how to do your macros. You know, they give you
all the tools essentially to succeed, but um, you're on
a pretty much a daily regiment there. But once you
get to smack down a raw, it's like you've graduated.
(19:32):
We're gonna let go over your hand, fly Bertie fly,
and like, if you want to train, then you're gonna
go train. If you want to work out, then you're
gonna work out. If you want to eat healthy, then
you're gonna eat healthy. No one's telling you or showing
you how to do these things that I had hope
that you had learned through the developmental system the right
decisions to make, and then from there you're kind of
on your own, up to your own devices. So hopefully
(19:53):
you know, um, you still want to train and still
want to work out, and you still want to eat healthy.
I still try to have a wrestling ring in my backyard.
And one of the girls, Naughty, she has training every week,
who's one of the veterans in w W. She's a
generational superstar, and so I go to her trainings, which
I'm gonna do tomorrow. Um. I work out at least
(20:15):
five times a week. Um. As far as my diet,
I mean, I do like the seventy thirty. It should
be eighties, funny, but I'll do like seventy. Um. You know,
if I can't hunt for it, fish for it, or
you know, um, pretty much source it myself, I'm not
going to eat it then thirty percent. You know. I
(20:35):
love dessert. I mean when I got to eat, I
order dessert first, and then I eat dessert, and then
I eat. Really, what's the right now. I mean, I
love chocolate coverage strawberries. It's like my new thing at
home every time I proma make chocolate coverage strawberries. But
when I go out to eat, I love a Kramber let.
I love a good bread pudding, a good bananas foster.
I mean, I could go on and on and on.
(20:57):
I love dessert so much. That's funny that you ordered
before that. I just I'm like more excited for it.
I just want to get it out the way because
I'm gonna be thinking about it all of dinner. So
I'm like, let me just get desserts. Then I'll eat dinner.
Then sometimes I'll get like another dessert. I do major
(21:17):
sweet tooth, but I work it out in the ring. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Okay.
So I also read that you recently started a family
real estate business, and I think that's really interesting, Yeah,
because we're into real estate like that something. I'm really
so I have not just started a business, but I
um enrolled in classes to be able to tell, you know,
(21:38):
become a realtor and then eventually a broker, have my
own brokerage. But um, yeah, I mean it definitely took
a backseat I think to my training and to I
had like a kind of a quarter life crisis, you know,
where I was like, oh my gosh, you know, I'm
not doing enough with my life. So I picked up
all these things right and um real estate was one
of them, and I still want to um follow through
(22:01):
and finish with that. But I also opened up like
a business, you know, and that's doing really well and
so I have a lot of fun with that. I've
been taking acting classes and so I've been like auditioning
a lot, so I've been kind of just dipping my
hands in all these little plots just to see, you know,
what I can do. But I had no idea you
guys doing to real estate? What do you are you
taking classes? Or I want to do my real estate
(22:22):
license after um in Florida. But no, I wanted. I
wanted to take classes, but right now we can't just
because Miami is like a private university, so we have
to get like a certain amount of core classes done
to be able to get our degree. This whole thing.
But yeah, I really I'm interested in it. Yeah, it's always.
I feel like it's really smart real estate. It's really
good investment always, you know, so be able to buy
(22:44):
it and sell it for yourself. You know. I feel
like it's it's good. Maybe we'll all be like, you know,
that'll be our next thing. Let's do it. Three blonde
w w E ww real estate. Yeah, like we can
sell it to the w w E fan base. Yeah,
so funny. So is that what you would envision for
(23:07):
yourself outside of wrestling, like like w w E after
you retire and stuff, like what do you see live doing? Um?
I think immediately, like I think day after retirement. Um,
I'd like to be doing movies. Um. I've been lucky
enough to have some opportunities within w w E. I
was in Chucky season two and I got killed by Chucky,
(23:27):
which was like a jury and it was amazing. Yeah,
it was so cool. It was I I never get
star struck over anyone, but when I saw Chucky, I
like melted. I was so star struck. Um. I was
able to participate in this movie called The Kill Room
with um Uma thurm minute Samuel L. Jackson, and that's
yet to be released. So I've had these opportunities. Um,
(23:49):
luckily while I have a w W and while I
have their platform. So hopefully one day, you know, if
I ever part ways, I mean I will wrestle forever. Um.
I kind of have my foot in the door with
acting a little bit, and I hope to be able
to do more of that and then um my soap business,
I have to expand that. But yes, real estate is
always in the back of my mind, and that's something
that I hope I can fall on at the end
(24:11):
of the day, regardless of any of these things. Right,
that's that's always successful trying, I mean I'm time trying.
So we always are compared to the Belot Twins. Okay,
like everyone like and t is like their audience is
always they need to be a tag team. So I
(24:31):
think that we'd be a tag team. Like how do
you go about that? Oh, I think that's it, Like
it rights itself. I think if I think if you
guys start, you guys are automatically they're going to be
like boom tag team because we don't like how often
do you get twins, you know that want to wrestle.
It doesn't happen very often, especially with the females. I
mean the last and only twins we've ever had that
(24:52):
were female or the Belot twins and so um, I mean,
I do think it's time for some new twenties. It's
time we have some new twins. And they has so
much fun. They got to drink people when you know, yeah,
that's I mean, it's fun and like just like you
talking about it and hearing more about it, like there's
so much, like like you said, like the fitness, the
(25:13):
competitive nature, like schedule and stuff, so much to it
there really is. It's definitely, um, the most high level
like competition sport regiment. I mean, in my opinion that
I think you can do just because of the aspect
that it's all your you know what I mean, Like
I don't know about other regiments and sports but I
(25:35):
do know that there's off seasons, and for w W
there's none, so it's just a constant grind. But I
feel like if you love it, um, it's like the
easiest thing in the world to do. It doesn't feel
like work. And I mean with anything, right, right, that's
great advice. Okay, so on after every time we bring
(25:55):
a guest on, we do like rapid fire questions for
the rapid fire. For some reason, when I have like pressure,
I can't think of anything. Okay, now, you're great. And also, guys,
you can't say it, but maybe she's wearing her Christmas sweater.
She's fustive. We love it sweater, we love her spirit. Yeah,
we do huge cham over here. It's yeah, I know.
(26:17):
What about Christmas movie? What's your favorite Christmas? Okay, Christmas
Cindy Luho. When I was younger, I thought it was
Cindy Luho. U Um, I know it's mine. But do
you guys have a favorite Christmas movie? I want to
know about yours? Okay? Mine is okay? I love Christmas Vacation.
Have you seen it? No? Oh my gosh, you have
(26:40):
to watch the funniest Christmas movie on vacation. Mine for
Christmas or Four Christmas. I've been watching Christmas movie like
every night. I would say Four Christmas Christmass. Okay, you
have to watch them. They're so funny, right, yes, and
Elf obviously Elf love Alf, but the Granches just I
(27:01):
just love the grunt. I love I want to watch
that one about Frosty and the Snowman, just like it's
just Frost. You guys mean Jack Frost. We go watch
watch Jack Frost. So you're going to read the bio
about it and you're gonna be like, oh, like lives
adjusted this terrible movie. But no, it's a tear jerker,
like it's gonna make you cry in the best of ways.
(27:23):
It's an awesome movie. Jack Frost. Legit, we're watching that.
You watch Four Christmas is a Christmas saca. Alright, fire
rapid questions for little get into it gets spicy. Okay,
So outside of the dessert, what's your favorite food? Pasta?
Any kind of pasta? Pasta? Girl? What's the way to
(27:44):
live's heart? Can you make me laugh? And if you're
like really polite? Okay? Who was the hardest hitter w
w A Yes, Rhonda for sure, for sure, for sure,
for sure, for sure what was your first splurge purse
after making money the w b OH. I think I
(28:08):
was like buying Gucci glasses anytime I went to the
airport conclusive airport, you know, pairs, and so I was just,
I mean, it's so funny too because I can't see
I have glasses, and so I have all these like
nice Gucci sunglasses that I never wear because I can't
see if I wear them. So I was like, I
don't even wear them. What a waste? But yeah, I
was just buying Gucci sunglasses like left and right. You know, Okay,
(28:32):
what what is your ideal date night? I guess Okay.
So I've come across like I've had this epiphany, right
not this epiphany is something that I've always known, but
I'm like, all right, I feel like oftentimes when you
talk to boys, you get into like that crush phase
right away, where like you know you like each other.
But then for me, I feel like I need to
(28:53):
know that we can be like besties first, you know
what I mean, Like, yeah, I know I like and
have a crush on you, but like, can we sing
in the car and like be silly and like have
fun or am I just gonna try to impressed you
the whole time, you know. Okay, So I feel like
maybe like riding in the car with some food and
just driving and talking and like writing on and like,
(29:14):
let me see if these things, you know, like are
need to be goofy? Are we canna have fun? Maybe
just like a nice car ride with some like Wendy's.
I like that's a simple vibes. Vibe simple, you know,
road trip, music, stars, stars in the sky, consense, not
too much, not too much, not too much. I'm a
simple girl. Okay, one more, Okay, celebrity crush now that
(29:36):
we're on like the boy topic, like right now, Okay,
celebrity crush right now, or just like growing up like
Austin Butler right now, Austin Butler. I watched that Elvis
movie and I was like, oh my gosh, um, and
I think growing up it was John Cina. It really was.
Oh it was. I loved Jem and I saw him
(29:57):
and I thought he was like my perfect guy. I
love him. Well, thank you so much for calling on

you guys are w W E fans are just in life.
She's an amazing person. We will be right back on
twin Talk to go over some other spicy takes. So
(30:41):
makes you guys continue to listen on College Athletes Network,
welcome back. Thank you again Live for coming onto our
(31:01):
podcast and talking to us and just getting to know
her better. She's so great. So makes you guys go
follow her and check her out in the ring. Maybe
we'll check her on the ring one day, Hannah. Yeah,
I don't know, you guys, let's let's hear some tag names.
I know we were talking about it, but yeah, drop
him in the chat for sure, we'll see. We will see, honestly,
I know. Okay, So I have a question for you,
really okay, if you had to choose between your love.
(31:25):
I know you're you know you don't have someone right now,
but like I'm just saying I felt that love. We're
still looking wise, we're still like and you have to
choose between your love and your career, and you have
to choose, you have to sacrifice one. What are you choosing? Okay?
Is this Like I feel like that is such a
broad question, Like if I'm losing one in the other,
(31:47):
it's like black and white, like if I'm choosing, I'm
losing my Well, obviously, like you see in our parents marriage,
dad had to travel a lot, like he had to
sacrifice with these kids, and we obviously didn't know that
until growing up in maturing and understanding that. Okay, you
guys didn't know that my dad traveled all the time
when we were younger. Um, and my mom was mythic
a lot, like he has a sacrifice a lot, and
like obviously we grew really close with my mom. But
(32:09):
you know, obviously maturing and growing up, we like saw
so much of how hard my dad's like work ethic
was to get where he is. You have to sacrifice. Okay,
I think that I would sacrifice my love because I
think that being able to pursue your own goals and
dreams and your own independent happiness is should come first.
(32:30):
And that's just like how I've what I've learned over
the years, like and I think what I learned from
mom and dad too. I think being able to sacrifice
and go pursue those things and pursue your career, like
your love should. Your your boyfriend, your girlfriend or your
fiance should support you. Like distance and sacrifice, that's what
that's what makes a marriage and makes your relationship. So
(32:51):
it's like there's no sacrifice, like I'm gonna go do
that exactly. And I think it's like if you're if
you're a significant other is asking you to sacrifice something?
Do they really want what's best for you? Are they
being selfish because they only want you? Yeah? What I'm
saying though, But it's like there's a time and place
for that, Like I think freedom and like chasing your
career and like being able to you know, focus on
(33:13):
yourself first, it creates it creates like such a stronger
bond with your love, I think. I think I think
that's what I've realized and I've seen some like through
my sister's relationships, through my my relationship, like through mine
and through Haley's like and even my parents just like
being able to learn, like I I'm gonna be completely honest,
like I'm very open, Like I won't. I don't know
(33:38):
how to say this, I say it. No. I just
think that some some girls, um will constantly, you know,
go for the end of that like drop anything for
their their loved one, like drop anything, drop their career,
drop their happiness, like that's only what they focus on
solely is that their person. And like, yes, I love
my boirth in to debt, Like I don't got to
tell everyone that, but if you know me, you know that.
(33:58):
But like if he's going to tell me, oh, Hana,
you need to sacrifice this, you need to sacrifice that,
Like at the end of the day, I won't because
one I'm like he was saying before, you need to
be independently happy and successful on your own, and then
they need to be into happily and successful on their own,
and you bring it together and you're both you know,
growing and pushing each other, Like that's what makes a
(34:19):
relationship exactly. Especially like I feel like nowadays like our
generation like us to like we're all victims of like
just super soft behavior and stuff. And I feel like
back in the day, it was more like even through
ups and downs of relationships and sacrifices, like we're still
going to work it out like regardless, Like nowadays it's like, oh,
the divorce rates are high, like all this stuff is happening.
(34:40):
You've got social media playing the role and all this
stuff like where it's like, you know, like I'm gonna
go do me and I'm gonna I'm gonna chase my
career and like benefit off of it, and you should too.
That's just my opinion though, And I think, like I
think I was watching a YouTube video on this too,
Like I think long distance like teaches you so much,
like you're nobody wants to be long distance, but like
at the end of the day, are you willing to
(35:00):
sacrifice like seeing each other like be because obviously you're
both going to be successful in like different areas, Like
me and my boyfriend are obviously like doing different things
in our life. But like he's successful in his area,
I'm successful right now in my area. And it's like,
are you gonna like be able to pursue that and
be able to have trust and loyalty, like it's gonna
make you grow. Like people that are like, oh, I
can't do long distance. Why do you think your boyfriend's
(35:22):
gonna cheat on you because you don't trust them in
the club? Do you think your boyfriend should be able
to go to as strip club? I could care less? No,
no, No No, that's how much trust I have my berfriend.
I could care less. Like people are like, oh, you
know you're gonna go through his d MS, go through
his DMS. I don't even care if I have his
phone password? Like why are these girls crazy? Like I know,
but I think it just takes a long time, Like
(35:43):
you guys have been together for six years. I know,
but still, hilly, you're not gonna like if some dude like, oh,
like even gives you a glimpse of cheating, you think
you're gonna care No, because I think you're like your
lights out cold, you're gone, and can you do it
in one day? You don't even should She's sad for
one day that girl has done after No, because I
do feel like that. I don't think it's endgame, Like
I think there's so many eyes in the world that
(36:05):
like even if like time this back to your first question,
Like if they're asking your sacrifice and stuff, there's somebody
out there that's going to be supportive of that. Like
there's always a better side of it. I think if
something ends, there's something better. And I believe like God's replacing,
like God's like you know, like removing as well. So
I just been like okay, like you know, like lean
with I rock with it. That's life exactly. I think
you'll like learn and grow through so many things. And
(36:27):
like if you're an observer, which like you are, and
I think you know, being able to watch other people's
relationships and be like, Okay, this is what I want,
this is what I don't want. It's gonna just like
obviously you're gonna apply that to your life. But yeah,
thank you guys for coming to this chat. This one
was a good one. I think about that, guys, would
you choose your career or would you choose your love
if you had to pick? Think about that one. That's
(36:48):
a good one. Yeah, but thank you guys. Thank you
live again for coming on twin Talk on the College
Athletes Network. We will see you guys next time. There's
a great guest coming next podcast that makes you guys,
tune in and we will see you then bye. This
(37:16):
has been a presentation of the College Athletes Network.
The following is a presentation of the College Athletes Network.
What's up, guys, you are listening to Twin Talk. I'm Hannah.
I'm Haley, and we are the Kavner Twins. We have
an amazing guest coming on, a very very exciting guest.
(00:25):
I cannot wait to talk to her live Morgan that's
her stage name for w w E, but she's also
known as Gianna Daddy. Oh if I'm pronouncing that right, Yes,
but yes, we met her at SummerSlam in Nashville. She
is a w w E wrestler. So we cannot wait
to show you guys and hear more about her. But
before then, we're gonna be talking about actually our Nashville trip.
(00:46):
It was our first trip to Nashville. You guys. I
am up set Nashville. Anyone that goes to Nashville like
wants to move there. It's nash Vegas. Talking to Livy
on the first episode, like she's like Nashville Girls ship,
Like it's like it brings everything, you know what I mean.
You have great music, great, free drinks, great like anything
you want, the serotonin. And I think when we first arrived,
(01:09):
like it was just right right from the start. I mean,
obviously we're twenty one. So we went and we landed
and there was a bar and it was called Titsies.
And Haley and I watched the show Nashville. Um it
was called Nashville Nashville. Obviously, I don't know if you
guys have watched it, but it's an amazing chair. You
guys should. And it was Tutsis was in the show,
and I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna drink buddy,
(01:30):
Mary hand me right now, like and all our families.
There was such a vibe. It really was being able
to experience Nashville and then tying in W W E
and obviously that all playing out was so fun because
it was like I did not know what to expect,
and then going there, I'm like, oh my gosh, I
could do this one day, like Haley said, And then
just going on Broadway at night with our family, like
experiencing um Dirks and Toby Keith's bar and just like
(01:53):
all the different bars. It was just like it's just
so fun, Like it's like a fun time. Like the
outfits you put into the way beforehand you think you're
gonna do your bachelor party there. I would do my
bachelor party, like my bachelor girls, Like, that's where our party, naturale,
Like that's where I wanted. It's so fun. What was
your favorite bar that we went to on Broadway? Well,
(02:13):
first of all, you left me. I don't even want
to bring that up. Hannah left me my first night
in Broadway by myself. My whole family went out. I
know that we're all twenty ones. I can talk about
this here, but my whole family went out to Broadway
the first night we got there. Um, and we just
have like freedom and stuff to hang and chill. Well,
all of a sudden, it was like not even. It
was like one am. And Hannah's the type of girl
when she goes out, it's like okay, when she's ready
(02:34):
to go, she's leaving regardless, sister. I went to Nashville
to go to country music bars. I mean, obviously I
love Jaysontons is my favorite bar. But heally wanted to
go to some club. I'm not going to a club
I wanted. I wanted to be like, I wanted to
be singing freaking Morgan Wallen song. I don't want to
(02:56):
be listening to Miami music. I do that all the time.
So that was my playing. Sorry guys, my voice. My
voice once again, it's very it's on. I just wanted
to harp on that. But yeah, Hannah left me and
so then I was like, oh my gosh, like I
don't know how you go back to the I was
with Alexei, But I don't know how me Alexei made
it well Alexey, Alexei and me, we wanted to leave
(03:16):
these people that we were with, and they were very
um apparent, they were very big on wanting us to stay.
And they're like, oh, let's go to the next bar
or whatever. I mean, like, you're like, we're just gonna
go to the bathroom. All the girls, you know, if
you're listening to always, it's always the bathroom, Like we're
gonna go to the bathroom. Then we dipped. But no,
I just remember the first night I got home at
like three thirty and then all my family. I woke
up the next days in my room and I'm like,
(03:37):
I had a night. I definitely had a night there
those nights. But we you know, we make sure she
gets home. Yeah, but Hanna's the type of girl that
she's gonna go home regardless. She'll get her sleep regardless
setting everyone now I will if I don't. I was like,
I'm there for country music. I got my country music.
Like that's literally what I listened to pre game. I'm
not switching up. It's like it's my I love it.
So I mean, yeah, it was. It was a great
(03:59):
time for sure. Yeah, and then that then the Saturday
we got to go to the Summer Nashville AM and
being able to experience that. We're gonna talk about that
with live when she comes on here, so you guys
will be able to hear from her experience too from it.
But yeah, we met her there and meeting everyone else
as well. We had Gabby Butler on our podcast and
she was there. So it was just such a fun
trip because like everyone came together and they're like all
(04:21):
tight in Like I I generally did not know that
the w w E like audience and fan base is
um so loyal and just so um so into w
w E. Like. It was great. You know, it was
a great atmosphere and a great um thing to do
with our family. I loved it. It It was definitely one
of my favorite trips. So what's our tag team name?
I don't know. I don't know you guys are gonna
(04:42):
have to stay tuned. We'll be right back on twitteralk
on the College Athletes Network with Ms liv Morgan. Stay tuned,
(05:03):
Welcome back to twin Talk. We are so excited to
bring w w D wrestler Live Morgan onto the show.
She's a SmackDown champion. This is gonna be so awesome.
We're such huge fans honestly, so to have you on here,
Ben Girling for sure, but thank you so much to
Live for joining us. No, I'm so excited, thank you
for having me. You guys are so cool. I'm like
(05:23):
on their show. Okay, So I just want to get
right into it. So, how would you describe your life
right now? Like with w TWOB what's it like? How
crazy is that? I'm curious to know to like honestly, yeah,
I mean honestly, it's like it feels normal to me.
It's like my normalcy. It's what I've been doing since
I was twenty years old and I'm twenty eight now,
so it's just like my whole adult life. It's all
(05:44):
I've known. But it's pretty insane. I mean, for one,
like you're on call, like you know, like days off
you might have a day off, but that means like
it's still get a phone call that I need to
fly out here, or I need to go film this,
or I need to go you know, do whatever. So
it's always on call. My typical schedule is like I
will fly out to where our TV is on Thursday.
(06:05):
We do our TV. I'm on Smackdowns on Friday night,
SmackDown on Fox, and then I'm usually big booked on
the live events. And the live events are like our
non televised shows, so it's only for the ticket paying fan,
you know. Um so flya out Thursday, I have TV Friday,
drive to the next town on Saturday, do the show,
drive to the next time for Sunday. Sunday to the show,
and then fly home Monday. So I have like Tuesday, Wednesday,
(06:27):
and half of Thursday to kind of get my life
back together. Oh that's that's excessive. That's a lot. That
sounds awesome. I mean yeah, And there's no off season either,
so it's not like a quarter of the year. It's like,
so at first when you first started, is it harder
to get on to SmackDown? I don't know much about it,
(06:47):
but it's harder to get those live shows and stuff
or is it the process for sure? So, um, when
you first get signed, I guess like depending on your experience,
but when you first get signed, typically you're going to
be asked to move to Florida, which is where Orlando, Florida,
which is where our performance center is, and um, you
pretty much learned everything from scratch. There. You have like
a five day a week training regiment where you work out,
(07:10):
you do your your ring work, you have promo class,
extra ring training, and you're pretty much doing that schedule
for however many years until they feel like they could
trust you on live TV. You know what you're doing,
you know how to bomb properly, you have your character
work down, you know how to speak with a live
microphone for millions of fans, you know, and the thousands
(07:32):
of people in the arena. So it's a lot of prep,
a lot of extensive training. UM n X t UM.
It's almost like JV in a way. And then I
want three years. It took me like three years. It
felt like twenty though, like I didn't know that for
so long. Yeah, three years, But it kind of varies.
(07:53):
Now some people have been in there for like six years,
Some people are there for six months. It's really like, um,
a right place, right time kind of thing. That also
meets like preparedness, you know, the right look and they're like,
let's bring her up, you know. And so all your
training is done on the road, which is even harder.
So what goes into the training? Um, So you learn
(08:16):
how to roll because rolling is just part of kind
of any um movement that you would kind of do
in the rings. So you learn roles. You learn how
to bomp, which is how to fall, so you learn
how to back. But I'm from bump flip, bomp, So
any kind of maneuver that you would take in the
ring doesn't absolutely like kill you, you know, like you
kind of learned how to absorb it. And then, um,
(08:39):
you just learned the basics, like how to lock up,
which is like the first kind of thing that you
see in wrestling. It's kind of like gauging your opponent,
gauging their way, their body, feeling their body language. Um,
you learn how to chain wrestle, which is pretty much like, um,
how would I describe it? I guess like, do you
guys like watching freestyle wrestling like um, Matt wrestling like
(09:01):
in high school. I guess, like you know, it's just
like the constant transitions, transitions, transitions, just trying to stay
on top of each other. You go through a phase
of learning that and then um, once you kind of
I feel like at the groundwork, then you kind of
kind of like your snack into it, your flavor, your personality.
But it's like extensively learning the basics and making sure
(09:23):
that you're safe and you can keep your opponents safe.
For the most part, um, accidents happen all the time.
Um yeah, it's pretty much just hours and hours of
learning the basics, the fundamentals, um, the etiquette in ring etiquette. Yeah,
that's that's crazy. I didn't know like all that time
(09:44):
went into it, So I mean, oh yeah, it has to.
I mean, for like the ten minute matches that you
would see on live TV, that just takes like years
and years and years, years and years of preparation. Because
also sometimes we have a match and they'll be like,
all right, live you have ten minutes, and then something
happened where there was a timing error, and now of
(10:04):
a sudden, I have three minutes, so I need to
cut down seven minutes on the fly on live TV
and for you to not have been trained to do that,
it gets like really really really scary. Yeah, super important,
that makes sense. And also I just like you guys
make it look so easy, like going to w D
and Super in Nashville, like the Summer Slam, Like yeah,
(10:28):
that was so sick. Yeah. Um, it's a lot. But
I think once you train and learn, like the ins
and out is a little bit, it seems less scary
and you kind of just learn how things work. I
think it's like picking up anything. Like I honestly like
I cannot even shoot a basketball with both hands. I
shoot with one handed. I don't know why. I don't
know why, but I, um, you know, I feel like
it's picking up anything. It's scary and you feel like
(10:50):
how does anyone even you know, become talented at that?
But it's just hard work and practice And I know
because yeah, because honestly watching it, because just like you said, um,
the w W SummerSlam, like that was so fun like
in all honestly seeing like you guys this fan base
and like you know how like into it and like
everybody is just like you know, the love and like
(11:12):
the competitive nature. Like I was like so excited about
it and like meeting you guys, like it was so fun.
I just want to tell you that like that, I
really but the fan base is like insane and the
best way possible. Yeah, they are crazy, but they are amazing.
They're so righte or die. Um. They ride so hard
for everyone in the w W. They find out stuff
(11:36):
that I don't even know. You know, they're so honest
with the news and what's happening. Um, they're so so incredible.
I feel like they're unlike any fans in the whole
entire world. Right. I literally thought I was like the
super Bowl. When I went into the room, I was like, okay,
like w w oh, yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy, and um,
you guys should come to WrestleMania. If you thought SummerSlam
(11:57):
was insane, which it was, Like, WrestleMania is like our
super Bowl. It's like the biggest show of the whole
entire year. Is that a. Um? Yeah, it's in l
A this year at Sophie. Um, so we're all super excited.
I think we're going to live. I think we're going
to cool. Oh, we cover you and I I know
we need to hang out for you guys to see WrestleMania.
(12:17):
It's by far like the grandest show of the whole
entire year. It's like what we all work towards all
year to hopefully be able to compete out of WrestleMania.
So well, I was so glad you guys are going, okay, cool,
I let me see you there. So I was when
we were watching at the Summer Slam. I noticed like
everybody walked out and kind of has like a stage walk,
a stage walk, So did you naturally create that or like,
(12:40):
how was your entrance made? Yeah? So pretty much. Um,
sometimes you get help with it, like if your producers
have something specific for you in mind. But for the
most part, we're really allowed to create our own characters
around personas, are around ring gear, anything that you see.
It's kind of like we have both of our hands
(13:01):
dipped in there. You know. They like to say the
best characters like an extended version of yourself. So however
you want your character to be, Yeah, you would take
that character traite and just turn it up to like
twenty seven. You know, Um, it's just you turned all
the way up. So for my entrance, honestly, for me,
that was the scariest part. Um, I grew up like
not with at Like I didn't grow up with attention
on me, eyes on me. I didn't play sports that much,
(13:23):
per say, So I was so scared and nervous to
have the spotlight on me. Like I've done truelading, but
that's a very much a team sport. You see all
of us at the same time, you know, But this
was for this one minute, all the spotlight and all
the eyes are gonna be on you, and it literally
terrified me. It's scared me more than wrestling in the ring.
So it took me a while actually to get comfortable.
(13:46):
I feel like I just got super comfortable being uncomfortable
because I was always uncomfortable. And then um, eventually, um,
you just stopped caring what people think. You stopped caring
how you look, because it's such a huge part of
what w w E is character right, these larger than
live personnel is your entrance is the first thing people
see about you. So it has to be something that
(14:08):
is entertaining and something that speaks to you. Um, but
my entrance, I kind of just come out and I
just kind of just soak in the crowd. I enjoyed
the crowd. They're like a major part of my entrance.
So you always have like live signs that are wanting
me to like, you know, grab their hands. So I
always include them in my insurance and I just smile
and dance and twirrow flip my hair. Yeah they love you,
(14:29):
thank you. Yeah, I love them. That's sick though. So
obviously like your biggest we're one of your biggest moments
right now was your SmackDown Champion and you beat Rhonda Rousy.
So how was how was that okay? In the whole
empire world? To beat or twice? It was amazing, honestly, Um.
Growing up a huge fan of w B since I
(14:49):
was five years old. Um, you know, the goal is
to b B Women's Champion, and so to win money
in the bank, which was a huge goal of mine,
and to cash in the same night on Rhonda Rousey.
And when the smack a Woman's title, my first ever championship,
it was unreal. Um. And it's so crazy because I
feel like leading up to that moment, I was so
(15:12):
emotional every week on TV, I was like crying and
I just was like saying how much this means to me,
how bad I wanted And then when I finally got it.
Like that night, I had no emotion, Like I couldn't
feel a thing. I just was shocked. But I was
so happy and I just was having like pinched me moments.
Um it was it felt huge. It was like so
(15:32):
big that I couldn't even really grasp it. And so
the whole night I thought I was gonna go out
and celebrate. We're in Vegas. I was like, Oh, I'm
gonna go party, but I didn't. I just did in
my hotel room and I just like sat quietly by
myself and just kept watching it over and over and
I was like, oh, my gosh, I really did do this.
That's so sick. It was the best night in my
whole entire life by far. That's crazy, though, Like to
(15:54):
be able to like visit like growing up watching and stuff,
and then I feel like getting to that moment and
like completing that goal, you know, Like that's crazy. It
was insane. And also like there's so many little intricacies
so that like, um, I used to wear a Hooters
and we used to have UFC nights, and so I
would literally be working at Hooters watching rounda Rousey knock
out Girls. In ten seconds, you know what I mean,
never thinking that one day I'd be wrestling her for
(16:18):
the SmackDown Women's Championship and life was just so crazy
how it kind of works out full circle? For sure? Yeah,
for sure? So weird. So did you ever hang outside
like of the ring with Round like Ronda or was
it more I have I mean since our title feud, No,
I mean, we've steered pretty far away from each other.
But beforehand, yeah, you know, I think I was like
(16:39):
actually one of her first friends here in WW aside
from the girls that she already knew prior, so we
had we had a good friendship. That's why when I
won the title. Um, I feel like anyone else in
the world would have been mad, you know, because of
how I wanted. I cashed in a contract that gave
me the opportunity to win the title at any point
in time. So she had just finished wrestling and I
(17:00):
chose that moment to cash in, you know. So she
could have been mad at me, but she respected what
I did and she was actually happy for me, and
she was happy that I had one. So it was cool.
But yeah, now no, I don't like anymore. Okay, So
you just kind of mentioned how you were working, you
were watching Rhonda Rousey on TV. So, like what led
(17:21):
you to w dB, Like how did you get into it?
Like life before w W. So, I just grew up
a huge fan since I was like five years old.
I had four older brothers and I was such a
tomboy growing up. I wanted to be just like my brothers,
and so obviously I watched wrestling and I fell in
love with it. I feel like for me personally, it
was kind of like a form of like escapism, Like
no matter what was going on in my life at home,
(17:43):
with my family, with school, with anything, UM, I could
watch the WW and forget about the world for however
many hours it was on. And I saw it and
I completely fell in love with it right away, and
I knew that that's what I wanted to do when
I got older. UM. And then I was fortunate enough
to meet this um, the strength coach this world where
(18:03):
own strength and conditioning coach named Jodah Franco Um. He
trained just some professional athletes really and so he trained
triple H and so UM after training with him for
a week or two, he pretty much UM told'd be like, Hey,
how this girl here, she loves w B, she's athletic,
she's been training with me. I think she might be
worth a look for a tryout, and so they gave
(18:26):
my information and then six months later I flew from
my tryout and then I got signed, and like the
rest of this history, it just was like right place,
the right moment. It was very insane. That's sick like
growing up like being a diehard fan and then being
able to you know, yeah, it was very, very very weird.
It was just, Um, I feel like I got so lucky,
like she just very grateful. I got blessed, and it just, um,
(18:49):
I was able to make my dream come true. That's awesome.
So you were talking about UM obviously like strength and conditioning.
Do you guys have to UM obviously like follow a
specific diet or do you have to eat a certain way?
Like how many times do work out? Yeah, So when
you're an n x T, which was I was saying,
kind of like the developmental system when I would say,
(19:10):
like you know, like j v UM, you're on a
strict regiment. They don't really give you diet plans or
mail plans. They give you suggestions, you know, like they
could help out if you are if you don't know
how to prep your meals or if you don't know
how to do your macros. You know, they give you
all the tools essentially to succeed, but um, you're on
a pretty much a daily regiment there. But once you
get to smack down a raw, it's like you've graduated.
(19:32):
We're gonna let go over your hand, fly Bertie fly,
and like, if you want to train, then you're gonna
go train. If you want to work out, then you're
gonna work out. If you want to eat healthy, then
you're gonna eat healthy. No one's telling you or showing
you how to do these things that I had hope
that you had learned through the developmental system the right
decisions to make, and then from there you're kind of
on your own, up to your own devices. So hopefully
(19:53):
you know, um, you still want to train and still
want to work out, and you still want to eat healthy.
I still try to have a wrestling ring in my backyard.
And one of the girls, Naughty, she has training every week,
who's one of the veterans in w W. She's a
generational superstar, and so I go to her trainings, which
I'm gonna do tomorrow. Um. I work out at least
(20:15):
five times a week. Um. As far as my diet,
I mean, I do like the seventy thirty. It should
be eighties, funny, but I'll do like seventy. Um. You know,
if I can't hunt for it, fish for it, or
you know, um, pretty much source it myself, I'm not
going to eat it then thirty percent. You know. I
(20:35):
love dessert. I mean when I got to eat, I
order dessert first, and then I eat dessert, and then
I eat. Really, what's the right now. I mean, I
love chocolate coverage strawberries. It's like my new thing at
home every time I proma make chocolate coverage strawberries. But
when I go out to eat, I love a Kramber let.
I love a good bread pudding, a good bananas foster.
I mean, I could go on and on and on.
(20:57):
I love dessert so much. That's funny that you ordered
before that. I just I'm like more excited for it.
I just want to get it out the way because
I'm gonna be thinking about it all of dinner. So
I'm like, let me just get desserts. Then I'll eat dinner.
Then sometimes I'll get like another dessert. I do major
(21:17):
sweet tooth, but I work it out in the ring. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Okay.
So I also read that you recently started a family
real estate business, and I think that's really interesting, Yeah,
because we're into real estate like that something. I'm really
so I have not just started a business, but I
um enrolled in classes to be able to tell, you know,
(21:38):
become a realtor and then eventually a broker, have my
own brokerage. But um, yeah, I mean it definitely took
a backseat I think to my training and to I
had like a kind of a quarter life crisis, you know,
where I was like, oh my gosh, you know, I'm
not doing enough with my life. So I picked up
all these things right and um real estate was one
of them, and I still want to um follow through
(22:01):
and finish with that. But I also opened up like
a business, you know, and that's doing really well and
so I have a lot of fun with that. I've
been taking acting classes and so I've been like auditioning
a lot, so I've been kind of just dipping my
hands in all these little plots just to see, you know,
what I can do. But I had no idea you
guys doing to real estate? What do you are you
taking classes? Or I want to do my real estate
(22:22):
license after um in Florida. But no, I wanted. I
wanted to take classes, but right now we can't just
because Miami is like a private university, so we have
to get like a certain amount of core classes done
to be able to get our degree. This whole thing.
But yeah, I really I'm interested in it. Yeah, it's always.
I feel like it's really smart real estate. It's really
good investment always, you know, so be able to buy
(22:44):
it and sell it for yourself. You know. I feel
like it's it's good. Maybe we'll all be like, you know,
that'll be our next thing. Let's do it. Three blonde
w w E ww real estate. Yeah, like we can
sell it to the w w E fan base. Yeah,
so funny. So is that what you would envision for
(23:07):
yourself outside of wrestling, like like w w E after
you retire and stuff, like what do you see live doing? Um?
I think immediately, like I think day after retirement. Um,
I'd like to be doing movies. Um. I've been lucky
enough to have some opportunities within w w E. I
was in Chucky season two and I got killed by Chucky,
(23:27):
which was like a jury and it was amazing. Yeah,
it was so cool. It was I I never get
star struck over anyone, but when I saw Chucky, I
like melted. I was so star struck. Um. I was
able to participate in this movie called The Kill Room
with um Uma thurm minute Samuel L. Jackson, and that's
yet to be released. So I've had these opportunities. Um,
(23:49):
luckily while I have a w W and while I
have their platform. So hopefully one day, you know, if
I ever part ways, I mean I will wrestle forever. Um.
I kind of have my foot in the door with
acting a little bit, and I hope to be able
to do more of that and then um my soap business,
I have to expand that. But yes, real estate is
always in the back of my mind, and that's something
that I hope I can fall on at the end
(24:11):
of the day, regardless of any of these things. Right,
that's that's always successful trying, I mean I'm time trying.
So we always are compared to the Belot Twins. Okay,
like everyone like and t is like their audience is
always they need to be a tag team. So I
(24:31):
think that we'd be a tag team. Like how do
you go about that? Oh, I think that's it, Like
it rights itself. I think if I think if you
guys start, you guys are automatically they're going to be
like boom tag team because we don't like how often
do you get twins, you know that want to wrestle.
It doesn't happen very often, especially with the females. I
mean the last and only twins we've ever had that
(24:52):
were female or the Belot twins and so um, I mean,
I do think it's time for some new twenties. It's
time we have some new twins. And they has so
much fun. They got to drink people when you know, yeah,
that's I mean, it's fun and like just like you
talking about it and hearing more about it, like there's
so much, like like you said, like the fitness, the
(25:13):
competitive nature, like schedule and stuff, so much to it
there really is. It's definitely, um, the most high level
like competition sport regiment. I mean, in my opinion that
I think you can do just because of the aspect
that it's all your you know what I mean, Like
I don't know about other regiments and sports but I
(25:35):
do know that there's off seasons, and for w W
there's none, so it's just a constant grind. But I
feel like if you love it, um, it's like the
easiest thing in the world to do. It doesn't feel
like work. And I mean with anything, right, right, that's
great advice. Okay, so on after every time we bring
(25:55):
a guest on, we do like rapid fire questions for
the rapid fire. For some reason, when I have like pressure,
I can't think of anything. Okay, now, you're great. And also, guys,
you can't say it, but maybe she's wearing her Christmas sweater.
She's fustive. We love it sweater, we love her spirit. Yeah,
we do huge cham over here. It's yeah, I know.
(26:17):
What about Christmas movie? What's your favorite Christmas? Okay, Christmas
Cindy Luho. When I was younger, I thought it was
Cindy Luho. U Um, I know it's mine. But do
you guys have a favorite Christmas movie? I want to
know about yours? Okay? Mine is okay? I love Christmas Vacation.
Have you seen it? No? Oh my gosh, you have
(26:40):
to watch the funniest Christmas movie on vacation. Mine for
Christmas or Four Christmas. I've been watching Christmas movie like
every night. I would say Four Christmas Christmass. Okay, you
have to watch them. They're so funny, right, yes, and
Elf obviously Elf love Alf, but the Granches just I
(27:01):
just love the grunt. I love I want to watch
that one about Frosty and the Snowman, just like it's
just Frost. You guys mean Jack Frost. We go watch
watch Jack Frost. So you're going to read the bio
about it and you're gonna be like, oh, like lives
adjusted this terrible movie. But no, it's a tear jerker,
like it's gonna make you cry in the best of ways.
(27:23):
It's an awesome movie. Jack Frost. Legit, we're watching that.
You watch Four Christmas is a Christmas saca. Alright, fire
rapid questions for little get into it gets spicy. Okay,
So outside of the dessert, what's your favorite food? Pasta?
Any kind of pasta? Pasta? Girl? What's the way to
(27:44):
live's heart? Can you make me laugh? And if you're
like really polite? Okay? Who was the hardest hitter w
w A Yes, Rhonda for sure, for sure, for sure,
for sure, for sure what was your first splurge purse
after making money the w b OH. I think I
(28:08):
was like buying Gucci glasses anytime I went to the
airport conclusive airport, you know, pairs, and so I was just,
I mean, it's so funny too because I can't see
I have glasses, and so I have all these like
nice Gucci sunglasses that I never wear because I can't
see if I wear them. So I was like, I
don't even wear them. What a waste? But yeah, I
was just buying Gucci sunglasses like left and right. You know, Okay,
(28:32):
what what is your ideal date night? I guess Okay.
So I've come across like I've had this epiphany, right
not this epiphany is something that I've always known, but
I'm like, all right, I feel like oftentimes when you
talk to boys, you get into like that crush phase
right away, where like you know you like each other.
But then for me, I feel like I need to
(28:53):
know that we can be like besties first, you know
what I mean, Like, yeah, I know I like and
have a crush on you, but like, can we sing
in the car and like be silly and like have
fun or am I just gonna try to impressed you
the whole time, you know. Okay, So I feel like
maybe like riding in the car with some food and
just driving and talking and like writing on and like,
(29:14):
let me see if these things, you know, like are
need to be goofy? Are we canna have fun? Maybe
just like a nice car ride with some like Wendy's.
I like that's a simple vibes. Vibe simple, you know,
road trip, music, stars, stars in the sky, consense, not
too much, not too much, not too much. I'm a
simple girl. Okay, one more, Okay, celebrity crush now that
(29:36):
we're on like the boy topic, like right now, Okay,
celebrity crush right now, or just like growing up like
Austin Butler right now, Austin Butler. I watched that Elvis
movie and I was like, oh my gosh, um, and
I think growing up it was John Cina. It really was.
Oh it was. I loved Jem and I saw him
(29:57):
and I thought he was like my perfect guy. I
love him. Well, thank you so much for calling on

She's an amazing person. We will be right back on
twin Talk to go over some other spicy takes. So
(30:41):
makes you guys continue to listen on College Athletes Network,
welcome back. Thank you again Live for coming onto our
(31:01):
podcast and talking to us and just getting to know
her better. She's so great. So makes you guys go
follow her and check her out in the ring. Maybe
we'll check her on the ring one day, Hannah. Yeah,
I don't know, you guys, let's let's hear some tag names.
I know we were talking about it, but yeah, drop
him in the chat for sure, we'll see. We will see, honestly,
I know. Okay, So I have a question for you,
really okay, if you had to choose between your love.
(31:25):
I know you're you know you don't have someone right now,
but like I'm just saying I felt that love. We're
still looking wise, we're still like and you have to
choose between your love and your career, and you have
to choose, you have to sacrifice one. What are you choosing? Okay?
Is this Like I feel like that is such a
broad question, Like if I'm losing one in the other,
(31:47):
it's like black and white, like if I'm choosing, I'm
losing my Well, obviously, like you see in our parents marriage,
dad had to travel a lot, like he had to
sacrifice with these kids, and we obviously didn't know that
until growing up in maturing and understanding that. Okay, you
guys didn't know that my dad traveled all the time
when we were younger. Um, and my mom was mythic
a lot, like he has a sacrifice a lot, and
like obviously we grew really close with my mom. But
(32:09):
you know, obviously maturing and growing up, we like saw
so much of how hard my dad's like work ethic
was to get where he is. You have to sacrifice. Okay,
I think that I would sacrifice my love because I
think that being able to pursue your own goals and
dreams and your own independent happiness is should come first.
(32:30):
And that's just like how I've what I've learned over
the years, like and I think what I learned from
mom and dad too. I think being able to sacrifice
and go pursue those things and pursue your career, like
your love should. Your your boyfriend, your girlfriend or your
fiance should support you. Like distance and sacrifice, that's what
that's what makes a marriage and makes your relationship. So
(32:51):
it's like there's no sacrifice, like I'm gonna go do
that exactly. And I think it's like if you're if
you're a significant other is asking you to sacrifice something?
Do they really want what's best for you? Are they
being selfish because they only want you? Yeah? What I'm
saying though, But it's like there's a time and place
for that, Like I think freedom and like chasing your
career and like being able to you know, focus on
(33:13):
yourself first, it creates it creates like such a stronger
bond with your love, I think. I think I think
that's what I've realized and I've seen some like through
my sister's relationships, through my my relationship, like through mine
and through Haley's like and even my parents just like
being able to learn, like I I'm gonna be completely honest,
like I'm very open, Like I won't. I don't know
(33:38):
how to say this, I say it. No. I just
think that some some girls, um will constantly, you know,
go for the end of that like drop anything for
their their loved one, like drop anything, drop their career,
drop their happiness, like that's only what they focus on
solely is that their person. And like, yes, I love
my boirth in to debt, Like I don't got to
tell everyone that, but if you know me, you know that.
(33:58):
But like if he's going to tell me, oh, Hana,
you need to sacrifice this, you need to sacrifice that,
Like at the end of the day, I won't because
one I'm like he was saying before, you need to
be independently happy and successful on your own, and then
they need to be into happily and successful on their own,
and you bring it together and you're both you know,
growing and pushing each other, Like that's what makes a
(34:19):
relationship exactly. Especially like I feel like nowadays like our
generation like us to like we're all victims of like
just super soft behavior and stuff. And I feel like
back in the day, it was more like even through
ups and downs of relationships and sacrifices, like we're still
going to work it out like regardless, Like nowadays it's like, oh,
the divorce rates are high, like all this stuff is happening.
(34:40):
You've got social media playing the role and all this
stuff like where it's like, you know, like I'm gonna
go do me and I'm gonna I'm gonna chase my
career and like benefit off of it, and you should too.
That's just my opinion though, And I think, like I
think I was watching a YouTube video on this too,
Like I think long distance like teaches you so much,
like you're nobody wants to be long distance, but like
at the end of the day, are you willing to
(35:00):
sacrifice like seeing each other like be because obviously you're
both going to be successful in like different areas, Like
me and my boyfriend are obviously like doing different things
in our life. But like he's successful in his area,
I'm successful right now in my area. And it's like,
are you gonna like be able to pursue that and
be able to have trust and loyalty, like it's gonna
make you grow. Like people that are like, oh, I
can't do long distance. Why do you think your boyfriend's
(35:22):
gonna cheat on you because you don't trust them in
the club? Do you think your boyfriend should be able
to go to as strip club? I could care less? No,
no, No No, that's how much trust I have my berfriend.
I could care less. Like people are like, oh, you
know you're gonna go through his d MS, go through
his DMS. I don't even care if I have his
phone password? Like why are these girls crazy? Like I know,
but I think it just takes a long time, Like
(35:43):
you guys have been together for six years. I know,
but still, hilly, you're not gonna like if some dude like, oh,
like even gives you a glimpse of cheating, you think
you're gonna care No, because I think you're like your
lights out cold, you're gone, and can you do it
in one day? You don't even should She's sad for
one day that girl has done after No, because I
do feel like that. I don't think it's endgame, Like
I think there's so many eyes in the world that
(36:05):
like even if like time this back to your first question,
Like if they're asking your sacrifice and stuff, there's somebody
out there that's going to be supportive of that. Like
there's always a better side of it. I think if
something ends, there's something better. And I believe like God's replacing,
like God's like you know, like removing as well. So
I just been like okay, like you know, like lean
with I rock with it. That's life exactly. I think
you'll like learn and grow through so many things. And
(36:27):
like if you're an observer, which like you are, and
I think you know, being able to watch other people's
relationships and be like, Okay, this is what I want,
this is what I don't want. It's gonna just like
obviously you're gonna apply that to your life. But yeah,
thank you guys for coming to this chat. This one
was a good one. I think about that, guys, would
you choose your career or would you choose your love
if you had to pick? Think about that one. That's
(36:48):
a good one. Yeah, but thank you guys. Thank you
live again for coming on twin Talk on the College
Athletes Network. We will see you guys next time. There's
a great guest coming next podcast that makes you guys,
tune in and we will see you then bye. This

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
