Speaker 1 (00:00):
This guy just followed me. Wait, Riley what what? That's
my favorite shot? Riley what? But I'm shocked right now?
(00:22):
Roy recording? Yeah, can you see in the pod? Yeah,
except for when I canna say who it is? That's wild.
I'm in shocked. I don't even have to say I
can't podcast. I don't know, just say I don't need
(00:45):
I mean, I didn't I didn't know him.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, well this is great. Wow is a camera recording?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yes? Okay, cool? That was crazy. Sorry, kind of a
crazy start. Sorry, I didn't know who was. I don't
always watch the same reality TV as cam, so yeah,
I'm a big reality TV person. So is my sister. Huge. Yeah,
and it's funny because that show that he's on I
(01:15):
had never watched before. So I did an entire just
binge watch. Oh I mean, I'm not kidding, like I
think I finished a few weeks ago. Like this just
freshened my nogin.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So if you what y'all missed is I showed her
this guy who followed me on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But and then I ran away. Yeah, she literally ran.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
What I do sometimes is if someone with a check
with a large following follows me, this sounds bad, but
I'm like, okay, maybe networking opportunity. You just never know,
because I mean that's how it was a WWE way back.
So I'm always like, okay, networking, let's see, let's check
this out. It's not me stalking this person's Instagram and
looking through his pictures and zooming in and out or
anything like that. Like it's strictly me, just networking, I promise, y'all.
(01:56):
So I'm like, it's something about a TV show, anything
like that, reality TV or TV period. I'm like, heck,
I love broadcasting. I would love to get into broadcasting,
so genuinely networking. And I passed the phone to him
and she actually ran a cross room.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I'm just I'm just shocked, because, like, I take you
very seriously in your job. Okay, okay, I do. Yeah,
I think you're incredible. Oh thank you. Sometimes when like
wires cross like that, yeah, I forget. I'm like, holy shit,
(02:29):
I'm like, oh yeah, that's just insane to me. Followed
you from your real you said, yeah, good for him,
I'm obsessed. That is great. I mean, heck, maybe maybe
we can get him on the pod. That would be incredible,
or any of the girls that he's friends with. Yeah,
I would vote the girls over him. I like him, Yeah,
(02:51):
I like him, but the girls are my favorite. So yeah,
that was an exciting start. Welcome back to Ada girl. Hey,
ye oh, you've had the most fun weekend.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Holy smokes. Yes, I want to dive into all of that.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I see your voices back. It's it is back.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's still got a little rasp and it's a little sore.
But I kind of like when it's a little raspy.
I feel, you know, a guys always like hype up
girls with raspy voices.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So I'm like, am I ten times hotter right now? Probably?
If I have a raspy voice, it doesn't sound raspy.
I'm still sound like a twelve year old kid. Oh yeah,
I never get that. You know what.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I also try to do when I have a raspy voice,
sing a little more, because always feel like it sounds better.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There you go. Do you like sing like those people
what do they call them?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Are?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
No, I just mean like in my car, I'm just like, wow,
I sound really good right now, Like I always sound good,
Like I sound even better right now. It's kind of
how I feel. I get that really so, I'm I
mean the raspiness. Maybe after this it's gonna stay raspy
just because we're talking more everything.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I'm probably not. But then maybe you'll join those people
on stage next year, I mean in a bigger way maybe.
So Yeah, that's a little tease, y'all.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I've been asked actually to be a headliner for Rock
the South next year.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Surprise. I'm just kidding that I'll never in a million
years ever happen. Every never say never. You never know.
You never know. Maybe you're not wrong, whether they're small
or big, whether I can sell out a venue more
than they can at my own bar. Who knows. Sorry
that was mean.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
No one knows. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. I
don't care.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh man, we're having fun on this fun morning.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, I kind of want to. We'll dive into that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
We'll get into just that whole experience, something that has
happened a great SHAWNI just texted me, Oh, he wants
to know.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Sorry, that's my dad. By the way, how many miles
do I have it on my truck? I don't know.
We'll check it out.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, my sister responded, he's on a show on Bravo.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yep, sure enough.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Okay, should I let her know? Well, he followed me.
Let's see her reaction to that.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Networking. Like I said, genuinely networking.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But before that, something really big, honestly happened to my
not necessarily in my life, but he's big in my life.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So I guess it did happen in my life. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, So I kind of want to dive into all
of that and what that entails, and then we'll dive
in and Rock the South on an episode after this.
But yeah, for those who didn't know, if you follow
me on socials, you've seen that I got to host
Rock the South. It was incredible and I cannot wait
to talk about all of that because I just have
so much to say. But before that, literally right before
(05:42):
heading to Coleman, Alabama, I was in Georgia with my
boyfriend because the MLB Draft was going on, and this
is something we had not talked about a whole lot
because he did not want to think about the draft.
He didn't want to talk about it. He was a senior,
he's been through the draft before, and I I genuinely
didn't understand the stress that came with it because from
(06:04):
an outsider's point of view, You're like, why is that
so stressful? You might get picked by a major league
team as a former athlete. You're gonna get to be
a professional athlete. Anybody's dream, even if you're not an athlete.
It's everyone's dream to say they could be a professional athelet.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
My thing about the whole thing was, no matter like
what you're offered monetarily, yeah, it's gonna be more than
you're gonna make in most average average Joe jobs, especially
right out of college, actually right out of college. So
it's from ours point of view, it's like, do go
for it? Why not?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You get a signing bonus that you get to put
in the bank, and then you get to go on
this crazy professional athlete journey. For me, it sounds pretty right.
There's no no negatives. But I just we had so
many questions. I mean, we were sitting in the hot
tub with them on the fourth of July and I'm like, Okay, wait,
what happens if that phone rings and you are taking
a shit?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Really, like what if you are gripping the wall? I
mean you cannot answer that, you can't. Yeah, then you're
just you call them back and screwed.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You are screwed, Like you get that phone call and
you take it and you say yes. So I, like
I said, there was just so much I just didn't know,
and I was afraid to ask questions because I knew.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
He was super stressed out. So for me, I've just
been That's why I tried to keep it. I tried
to keep the jokes. Yeah, Like, I didn't want to
ask anything too serious, right, right, So I asked about
bubble guts. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I mean, I felt like it was the perfect question
because it kind of answered a lot of other questions
within that question exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I agree, gave it told us everything we needed to know.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That it's an important phone call that you don't want
to miss, right, so can't miss? Yeah, no, if you do,
what you're missing could be thousands of dollars literally, dos.
So I just said, tell me how I can support you,
how I can be there for you, whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I could tell.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He was getting more stressed out as it got closer
to time, but still didn't really want to talk about it,
and he would talk about it like like here and there,
but still nothing. And so then I'm like, well, I
just need to know what's going on, what to expect, Like,
I don't know what to do as a girlfriend because,
like I said, I didn't understand the stress of it.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Because when you shouldn't feel bad for not understanding. You've
never been in the position. Never, You've never don't mean
it like that, but I've never dated someone in this realm.
You don't have family in this realm, you know what
I mean. Yeah, and you're just not used to it.
So that's another thing.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So my uncle is a football coach, and he has
been a football coach as long as I can remember.
He's coached high school, college, NFL, back in college, like
all over the place. And so when it was in
the NFL, we got a glimpse of what that's like.
The NFL Draft. I dated a guy that played in
the NFL. I didn't I wasn't dating him when he
went through the draft, but I saw the aftermath of
all of that. So I've been in a lot of different,
you know, realms of sports and the levels of it,
(08:48):
but I've never actually been a part of baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah. So we are sitting in the living room.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well before that, before that, we went on a walk
that morning, like three months I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
This is the first time, like this is a genuine reaction.
Hey man, I haven't heard this either. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So so the night before he tossed and turned a lot.
I would I would feel him wake up and I'd
look and eyes were just wide open. I'm like, Okay,
we are not getting good sleep tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But I don't blame it. It's like Christmas morning.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But like stress, not excitement, but maybe excite for a
safe school.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You have no friends in your class.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Right, yes, yes, that's exact, new teacher, new teammates exactly,
you know, classmates whatever, Like it's just new.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So we get for.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
A walk and then we get back and I'm like, oh,
I'm gonna go shower, and then I realize, like, oh crap,
he probably can't shower now because it's so close to
time and he's got to be able to take the phone.
So I go back down and that morning we had
he'd gotten some phone call from a team, and like,
you know how all that, like they just kind of
let you know, like they're interested, but it's like you
just don't know it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
So it's not a phone call, no picked, and it's
not even.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The team, like it's there's all these like scouts and
people that work with like that. I don't even know
what their job titles are, but they're not really like
you know what I mean, yeah, no, no decision making.
So then we're sitting there, he's getting calls from his
agent and they're figuring things out, saying yester no, and
we're watching the draft happen on TV, like this team
(10:17):
is picking so and so, this team is picking so
and so.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
And he's so I y'all.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Don't know him, but he is very serious in a sense,
especially when it comes to sports, and I think that's
part of the reason he's so successful. But I mean,
these phone calls, you couldn't read them. You're like, what
are y'all talking about? Like what's going on your face? Like, no,
we don't know what you're We don't know what's going
on because you're just like mm hm yep, yes, no, yes, We're.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Like what are you saying? Yes to you?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
What are you saying now to Like we were please no,
So we really had no idea. Hung up the phone,
told us what was going on, said that or whatever,
and we were.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Like okay, cool, like yeah, whatever, whatever you want to do,
Like I don't know. Then gets another phone call, so
he was saying no to teams. Well, he was the
only talking to his agent.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh and you don't know those conversations because he didn't Okay,
you know, so he's having conversations because I guess.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I don't know, like guid, I still don't know. I
didn't ask questions. I just you probably wouldn't get any
answers either, because every time I ask my brother if
he tells me a story from the day and I'm
like details and he's like, that's about it. Yep, it's like,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, if someone were to ask me about my day
in details, we'd be there for probably twenty four hours exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, no details. No, men have no details. No, I know.
That's why they're bad gossipers. Yes, anyway, but that's why
they listen. They loved to listen to hours exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah. Yeah, and they'll do the throwing an occasional yeah f.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Her, Yeah, thank you. I needed to hear that.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So, yeah, he was just talking to his agent. We
really didn't know what was going on. And so then
he gets another phone call from his agent and we're
watching the TV screen. It says number whatever pick New
York Mets liked Corey Collins and it's his picture and
I'm like seeing next I'm slapping his leg. But he's
on the phone with his agent and then we're all
(12:03):
like what and his dad's like, wait.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Holy shit, that's Corey. Wait Corey like talk to us,
like he's on the phone. Yeah, wait, you just got picked.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Like yeah, and then he hang hungs up, hungs up,
He hungs up the phone. He hung up the phone
and like kind of filled this in everything. He's like, yeah,
the MAT's picked me. And we were just like so excited.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I see jumping was he doing?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He just sat there, I mean mom and I I
mean teared up. Dad dabbed him up.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I was like, all his dad is awesome. That's sick.
He's cool. So that was fun. We were all hype
hugged him.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, And then I didn't know what to say because
I was like, are you happy or yeah he was,
I was.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
One of the questions I was gonna ask him, but
then it felt silly to ask, right, But like I
know that everyone like, especially if you're a baseball lover,
you grew up with a favorite team, right, like obviously, Yeah,
So then want.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, I know his family is like you're a met yeah,
because they're big. They're big Phillies fans and like got it.
I mean living in a uh not Alabama, Georgia Braves too,
but mainly Phillies.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
But you don't, like I didn't realize.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You just don't really have a say. And genuinely, I
know how my anxiety works. If I had to sit
next to my phone just waiting for a call and
you don't know when, like he didn't, he didn't have
a clue.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We just knew it was rounds.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Three through ten, yeah, that day, So we didn't know
when it at one point in time. Yeah, like you
just are literally sitting by your phone waiting. Was that
like hours yeah yeah, and well I don't know. Actually
maybe it's only like one or two hours.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Still that's a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And I didn't know what to do. Like Peyton was
sending his pictures from the beach. That's my sister where
she was in his pictures of Henry at the beach, and.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I was like, oh, Corey like these photos. Yeah, I
didn't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
It was I was trying to take your mind off
the Yeah, but it's like it's but you don't know
do you want your mind taking off things or do
you want to talk about this? And after it's just
sitting there and kind of like figuring things out, and
I'm like like, are you stressed? Are you happy? Are
you excited? Like I didn't know what to say, what
to do. But then we all went and got Mexican
and it was fun and celebrated, and I mean, it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
All worked out and incredible.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
He's pumped, I will say for me, it was so
much excitement and like wow. But then also you can't
help but let everything sink in of Okay, he's going
to be moving all over.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
So I had to host he Rock the South for
the rest of that week, which was last week and weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I leave tomorrow for a cruise for two weeks. Then
I come back.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I teach line dancing the Thursday after I get back
on a Wednesday. I have surgery on my toe that
Monday and teach line dan singing in that Thursday.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Is your toe gonna be good for line dancing? I'm
gonna be in a boot. PG nineans right.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Can be really cute, grind, don't stop, No, absolutely nice,
just a different kind of boot, you know, cowboy boot
basically walking boot.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, it's a boot.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So then I'm like, hmm, that's what five weeks, six
weeks yep.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, So a lot just kind of set in.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And then you've got those girls or friends or call
them friends, whatever they are. They're like, oh my gosh,
you're living out every girl's dream. You're a baseball girlfriend,
you're a wag. And I'm like, what, Who's dream?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I'm like, wait, it's like, I don't know. It's like
a high school musical. Whose dream is it? Yours? Are mine?
Or mind? Or yours?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Literally? And I'm like no, no, no, no, no, y'all.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Him going out and doing all of this is freaking incredible,
but that is his.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And you you not wanting to be well directly associated,
like it's not my identity.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Ye right, My boyfriend is my identity because I love
him and he's my boyfriend and I show him off
and I'm proud of him and all of that support support. Yeah,
but him doing his thing is not my identity.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, you're not. You're not automatically gonna be like hotel
hopping with him.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
No, And like we've had those talks of like flexibility.
You never know when you're gonna be bumped up from
team to team. And I don't know if you'all know,
but you don't just draft and you're like, oh, I'm
in the MLB, like I'm playing for the Lettle the
New York Mets, Like that's not how that works. There's
a bunch of minor league teams are all over and
so you're traveling.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And that's the first thing I did when you texted
me that he got picked.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I was like, Okay, teams and right now he's in
Florida doing all of that and signing and everything that
comes along with that.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But you just never know when you get bummed up.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
And yeah, we've had this talks like being flexible, but
like for me of right now, it's being flexible in
terms of Okay, you're gonna be moving around, bumping around whatever,
and where I come visit will change, because I've had
a lot of people asking me where you're gonna move
in with him, and it's like, well, we're not married. Yeah,
in terms of even I think how the organization allows
things or does things, and you know, we haven't been
(17:18):
dating that long, so people are like, we are you
all getting engaged soon, and it's like.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well, that is not even anything we've really talked about.
Like obviously we've talked about.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Future together and how that's what we want to spend
the future together, but we haven't talked about timeline.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Because so for me and anyone that knows me and
he knows this about me, he would not we would
not be dating if he didn't accept this. With me,
I am so big on my own personal brand. I
have my Riley Catherine quote unquote brand with socials. I'm
wanting to move into a little bit more of a
(17:55):
fitness brand, and then we've got at a girl. Yeah,
so like that that is my brand. That is my identity,
and that is what I work towards, right, And just
just like I'm supporting him through everything he's going through,
he supports me.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So everyone's just kind of like, well, you're a baseball girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Seem to be baseball and I'm like, well, I mean yes,
because my boyfriend, Like and also I'm sorry, but that's
also not his identity either. Baseball is not just who
he is, it's what he does, and people don't get
to see all the sides of him of like what
a great guy he is and a lot of I mean,
his passion for when he's done, he wants to be
a within law enforcement, Like that's what his passion, true passion,
(18:42):
well besides baseball, Like he's very passionate about all that,
which is so cool. Not a lot of people like
I couldn't go into that. No, So, like he's got
a lot that makes him him. It's not just baseball.
So you know all this response to and I don't know,
like all these girl friends and wives turn into reality
stars for being whatever, and it's always.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
About their cutest outfits.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Hell, when he played at Georgia, all I did was
look up athletic rompers and dresses and athletic cute red
and black athletic clothes that I could go.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
You could pull up a trash bag though you never
looked bad. No, I'm just saying though, like I'm not
trendy like that. You mean, though, yeah, you're you're not
very like like your main focus is not fashion.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
No, and these girls literally live for no offense have
been very I guess judgmental of a lot of these women.
I'm sorry, but I just for me and I I'll
get to that in a second. But like they wake
up and it's like game day, what are we gonna wear?
Oh my gosh, we gotta post this, we gotta post that.
And and I get so, like I said, my uncle
(19:47):
being a football coach. I've seen my aunt and she
worked very hard for a good bit of time when
my uncle first got into coaching, and she, honestly is
to think for a lot of how he was able
to even get into coaching right, and then had twins
and you know, having twins, but then him being a
football coach, he was never home.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yea, So my aunt did so much.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And so when you start looking down the road, when
it's like, and who knows how long he'll be playing for, Well,
that's the thing, Like it could be two years, it
could be ten years, it could be thirty years. I
mean you, well, not thirty years. But you just don't
know the timeline of things. And so if down the
road something were to were married and kids are in
(20:26):
the picture, and it's like, okay, well, what's the best
way to navigate all of this. But at the end
of the day, I'm very passionate about my own.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I feel like, like not this is not coming from
a judgmental place. But it's from like I mean, there's
like shows that showcase this kind of situation, like the
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader show. Did you watch that? No? But
my mom wants me to watch it. Very good. There
is this girl who she's a fifth year cheerleader so
you can only do five years. And her boyfriend fiance
(20:54):
or whatever he is, I don't remember. He was really
really passionate about acting. Wow, wanted to live in la
but wanted to be with her, so he did pause
his acting career to live with her and do her
Dallas Cowboy step. And he talks about how like you know,
he's just kind of going through the motions. This is
not his identity, but it'll be his time to shine.
(21:15):
But I'm saying that because I don't think it necessarily
has to be that way, right, Like I don't think
you have to put your own No, you don't have
to give up your own dreams, like I think people forget,
like I know, long distance is hard, obviously. Yeah that's
without saying like right, yeah, everyone's like, oh my gosh,
this is not a dream.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I'm like, yeah, I get to go like six weeks
without seeing if it's so fine?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
But I think it's worth it to keep your own
independence too, Like I feel like down the road, it
would be very easy to say, let's scenario, he plays
for six years, you followed him the whole time, and
then you kind of look back and you're like, who
am I? What have I done for six years? What
have I done for six years? Right? And that's important
to keep your own identity and be you through everything. Yes,
(22:01):
still support.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Absolutely, and I will make an effort to go visit
as much as possible because I go crazy when I
don't see him, Like not actually, but I'm like.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, oh I hate it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I hate distance, Like I bawled my eyes out when
I left Georgia.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I mean, yeah, in this situation, no matter what path
you choose, you're sacrificing something. And that's yes, you both are,
not sorry, not just you, right, And so it's gonna
be it's gonna be a challenge, but it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It's it is super exciting. And he's been so sweet
of like, no, this is our journey, this is our journey.
But I will I will be the first to say
this is something I'm very passionate about. Yeah, when you
see these interviews of couples. I'm thinking one specifically, I'm
not gonna say names. And they're interviewing her about his
athletic career. Yeah, why it is his athletic career. I
(22:51):
did nothing. I did not go out there and play.
I am not playing. I might be good for his
mental health outside of baseball. Sure, I am not the
one to speak his career.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Do not know?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I I think I'm just so passionate about letting
letting him live out his dream and let me live
out mine and support each.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Other the whole way through all of that. I totally agree.
I think that's I mean, that's how I would do
it if I were going through something similar.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
And like Spence was being so funny this money, like
are you going to become an influencer?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I'm like, no, I am one.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Without yeah, without being a baseball girlfriend as an influencer,
Like I just.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So, yeah, we've gotten I've gotten lots of questions or
even been like oh well he just sagnas, you don't
have to work, and it's like, what are you talking about?
That's not no now for me, It's like, Okay, I
know how much money I have to make now because
I want to make more.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Not really, but I just your competitive person. I'm very competitive.
I'm also very big. I'm like, I want to.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Support myself as something were to happen. I want to
know I can take care of myself and I want
to contribute to us.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
The only the only time I can see myself just
not working is if financially in a marriage it made sense. Yes,
Otherwise what do I look like asking my husband? Can
I buy a shirt today? Thank you? That is my
reasoning to you. I don't know that it's also my
(24:16):
money exactly exactly like using it. We can do a
joint bank account whatever, but I'm having my own also, yes, sorry,
because I who am I to go spend money? And
now I feel like it's like I did I just
spend bill money? Like you're handling the finances. Are you
just gonna give me allowance and tell me how much
I can spend? Like? Pass?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Thank you, pass amen, thank you, thank you. That's how
I feel like, I know, car I want to.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, I mean, I want to have one marriage. I
don't want to divorce, but say that horrible day comes,
What the hell am I doing? Am I left high
and dry and then what the fuck I mean? Right?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Am I just on my ass?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I have no house because I didn't contribute to the bills,
right I have I have no car because he's probably
paying the carpet. Yeah, I have no food. He bought
all the grocery. Like what am I doing? Yeah? Am
I homeless? And it just goes back to that.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Whole having your own career, identity, passions, income, taking care
of yourself because I one thing I love about him
is he knows I can take care of myself.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, but he wants to take care of me. And
I'm not talking about financially, just like in a relationship setting.
And but that's how I also am even financially, Like, Okay,
you can take me on a date every once in
a while if you want to spend money on me
other than that, I've got it, thank you. Yeah, yeah, no,
I get it. It sounds bad, but I just know I
(25:40):
get it. I can't. I mean, I pick up the
tabs sometimes, like but grudgingly, like the guy doesn't want
me to, but like I'm like no, like really you
pay last day times? Yes? Like please let me pick
up what a burger? This time. It's not like it's
breaking me. So that's kind of my thoughts and opinions.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Have I looked at cute athletic tops that are like
the camo green with the Camo lettering of New York Mets.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, orange and blue exciting? Oh my gosh what without?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yes, the orange and blue not my thing. So we're
gonna do blue and white. We're gonna be like black
and white, gray and black, like we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Do no orange. No, I didn't hear orange and there. No, no,
no orange. I love the color orange, not even four
team stuff, like, I just like it. No, it's not
my color. It might be a good color, it's not
my colors. So I don't know. But yeah, so I
guess I'm a what is wag? Wife and girlfriend? I
(26:39):
don't really know, no, y'all, Like I really don't even know.
I just know. People have DMed me asking what all
of this means for me and Coco, And that's what
that's what it means for me and Coco. Coco is
going to play for I will say.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
When we woke up the next morning, I said, wait,
how does it feel to be a professional athlete?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Isn't that cool.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
No, it's so amazing. Little Hiley is not little Riley,
young Riley. I do know what you mean. She's like,
oh my gosh, that was your dream.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I mean, not that you can go pro and gymnastics
because that's my thing when I was little, but still
professional athlete is the coolest thing in the entire world.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, I'll say you were a pro because like and two,
like when we were having that whole conversation, like, yeah,
go for it. Another thing is like talking about joining
or drafting or whatever, like why wouldn't you go for it? Who?
I mean, realistically, of all the baseball players in America,
who's getting this opportunity? Oh, the tiniest percent of you exactly,
(27:37):
the tiniest go for it. And the networking y'all.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
So one thing about me is I see networking in
everything I do. That is like Numero uno in my
life is networking and meeting people. I'm like, Babe, the
people you're gonna meet you just don't know. You just
don't even know what can come from all this. I
think it's the coolest experience. I'm so happy for him.
He has been waiting a long time for this to
fall into for him. Because he's worked his tail off.
(28:02):
He's very very, very very talented. He's had some hard
things he's had to overcome, and just a lot with
all of it. So the fact that it all fell
into place and he had a great last year, I
mean it's really incredible. The distance is gonna suck, yeah,
but I can't wait to be his biggest cheerleader. I
am still Riley, Catherine Riley Catherine White. I have my
(28:23):
own brand, my own everything. My identity is not being
a baseball girlfriend. I am Corey's girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah. Oh that's perfect. I like that. Yeah that was good. Really,
that was a great boom. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So if y'all love supporting at a girl, let's go Mets, go.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Mat Well, that was my question though, Do I support
what team? Am I supporting right now? Well?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So that's also funny to think about, because it's like,
do you really want them to do well right now?
Because if they don't do well and like the first
baseman goes or something, is that a greater chance for
Corey to get bumped?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
But I didn't even get that far in my train
of thought. I was just like, do I have to
turn into a Mets face? You know? Now? Or can
I wait till Coury is actually you know, great question.
I'm just like, what do I do? Right? I guess
gomets cometes for now? Go Corey, Corey, Corey for now?
Go Coco? So yeah, go oh that's so exciting. So
(29:32):
are you a wag? Cousin? What am I? So? Wait? Wait?
Wag a wagon? That's kind of fun? Wait? What is
what is Corey to me? Though? Cousin and friend? That's
what I am. I'm a calf. You're a calf? Oh
(29:52):
my god, I love it. O. I'm a wag your calf?
And what is Corey to me? Though? And husband? Bah,
he's a ba. I'm the wag to his ba. He's
the bottom my wag And I'm y'all's calf. Why do
I feel like we live on a farm and a wag?
(30:16):
These animals on a farm? Welcome to the farmhouse. Well,
we love y'all. Thanks for all the love and support
and everything. At a boy Corey at a boy? Hell
yeah yeah. Had a girl Riley for her to rock
the South endeavor, Thank you'll, thank y'all. Really awesome and
(30:37):
a girl meet because I learned how to crochet this week.
Shut the front door. I really did. I love that
Nana and Peyton crochet all the time. Wow, can't wait.
I just learned how to do a daisy granny square.
If anyone knows what that daisy granny heck, yeah, I
don't know. It's just a square, cute, little crochet square
(30:58):
I used. I chose blue yard for the background. It
has a little daisy in the middle. It's very cute. Wait,
that's pretty. I'm gonna make a bag out of it.
Like yeah, anyway, Well, thank you all for listening.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
We love y'all so much, and sorry this was chaotic
and all over the place, but no, I'm a wag.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's perfect, just kidding. I'm Corey's girlfriend exactly. You're cg.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh why did that just take me like three tired
to click?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
We're tired? Yeah, oh yeah, that's an understatement. But okay.
We love y'all. We'll see y'all next time.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Bye.
This guy just followed me. Wait, Riley what what? That's
my favorite shot? Riley what? But I'm shocked right now?
(00:22):
Roy recording? Yeah, can you see in the pod? Yeah,
except for when I canna say who it is? That's wild.
I'm in shocked. I don't even have to say I
can't podcast. I don't know, just say I don't need
(00:45):
I mean, I didn't I didn't know him.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, well this is great. Wow is a camera recording?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yes? Okay, cool? That was crazy. Sorry, kind of a
crazy start. Sorry, I didn't know who was. I don't
always watch the same reality TV as cam, so yeah,
I'm a big reality TV person. So is my sister. Huge. Yeah,
and it's funny because that show that he's on I
(01:15):
had never watched before. So I did an entire just
binge watch. Oh I mean, I'm not kidding, like I
think I finished a few weeks ago. Like this just
freshened my nogin.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So if you what y'all missed is I showed her
this guy who followed me on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But and then I ran away. Yeah, she literally ran.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
What I do sometimes is if someone with a check
with a large following follows me, this sounds bad, but
I'm like, okay, maybe networking opportunity. You just never know,
because I mean that's how it was a WWE way back.
So I'm always like, okay, networking, let's see, let's check
this out. It's not me stalking this person's Instagram and
looking through his pictures and zooming in and out or
anything like that. Like it's strictly me, just networking, I promise, y'all.
(01:56):
So I'm like, it's something about a TV show, anything
like that, reality TV or TV period. I'm like, heck,
I love broadcasting. I would love to get into broadcasting,
so genuinely networking. And I passed the phone to him
and she actually ran a cross room.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I'm just I'm just shocked, because, like, I take you
very seriously in your job. Okay, okay, I do. Yeah,
I think you're incredible. Oh thank you. Sometimes when like
wires cross like that, yeah, I forget. I'm like, holy shit,
(02:29):
I'm like, oh yeah, that's just insane to me. Followed
you from your real you said, yeah, good for him,
I'm obsessed. That is great. I mean, heck, maybe maybe
we can get him on the pod. That would be incredible,
or any of the girls that he's friends with. Yeah,
I would vote the girls over him. I like him, Yeah,
(02:51):
I like him, but the girls are my favorite. So yeah,
that was an exciting start. Welcome back to Ada girl. Hey,
ye oh, you've had the most fun weekend.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Holy smokes. Yes, I want to dive into all of that.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I see your voices back. It's it is back.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's still got a little rasp and it's a little sore.
But I kind of like when it's a little raspy.
I feel, you know, a guys always like hype up
girls with raspy voices.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So I'm like, am I ten times hotter right now? Probably?
If I have a raspy voice, it doesn't sound raspy.
I'm still sound like a twelve year old kid. Oh yeah,
I never get that. You know what.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I also try to do when I have a raspy voice,
sing a little more, because always feel like it sounds better.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There you go. Do you like sing like those people
what do they call them?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Are?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
No, I just mean like in my car, I'm just like, wow,
I sound really good right now, Like I always sound good,
Like I sound even better right now. It's kind of
how I feel. I get that really so, I'm I
mean the raspiness. Maybe after this it's gonna stay raspy
just because we're talking more everything.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I'm probably not. But then maybe you'll join those people
on stage next year, I mean in a bigger way maybe.
So Yeah, that's a little tease, y'all.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I've been asked actually to be a headliner for Rock
the South next year.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Surprise. I'm just kidding that I'll never in a million
years ever happen. Every never say never. You never know.
You never know. Maybe you're not wrong, whether they're small
or big, whether I can sell out a venue more
than they can at my own bar. Who knows. Sorry
that was mean.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
No one knows. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. I
don't care.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh man, we're having fun on this fun morning.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, I kind of want to. We'll dive into that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
We'll get into just that whole experience, something that has
happened a great SHAWNI just texted me, Oh, he wants
to know.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Sorry, that's my dad. By the way, how many miles
do I have it on my truck? I don't know.
We'll check it out.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, my sister responded, he's on a show on Bravo.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yep, sure enough.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Okay, should I let her know? Well, he followed me.
Let's see her reaction to that.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Networking. Like I said, genuinely networking.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But before that, something really big, honestly happened to my
not necessarily in my life, but he's big in my life.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So I guess it did happen in my life. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, So I kind of want to dive into all
of that and what that entails, and then we'll dive
in and Rock the South on an episode after this.
But yeah, for those who didn't know, if you follow
me on socials, you've seen that I got to host
Rock the South. It was incredible and I cannot wait
to talk about all of that because I just have
so much to say. But before that, literally right before
(05:42):
heading to Coleman, Alabama, I was in Georgia with my
boyfriend because the MLB Draft was going on, and this
is something we had not talked about a whole lot
because he did not want to think about the draft.
He didn't want to talk about it. He was a senior,
he's been through the draft before, and I I genuinely
didn't understand the stress that came with it because from
(06:04):
an outsider's point of view, You're like, why is that
so stressful? You might get picked by a major league
team as a former athlete. You're gonna get to be
a professional athlete. Anybody's dream, even if you're not an athlete.
It's everyone's dream to say they could be a professional athelet.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
My thing about the whole thing was, no matter like
what you're offered monetarily, yeah, it's gonna be more than
you're gonna make in most average average Joe jobs, especially
right out of college, actually right out of college. So
it's from ours point of view, it's like, do go
for it? Why not?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You get a signing bonus that you get to put
in the bank, and then you get to go on
this crazy professional athlete journey. For me, it sounds pretty right.
There's no no negatives. But I just we had so
many questions. I mean, we were sitting in the hot
tub with them on the fourth of July and I'm like, Okay, wait,
what happens if that phone rings and you are taking
a shit?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Really, like what if you are gripping the wall? I
mean you cannot answer that, you can't. Yeah, then you're
just you call them back and screwed.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You are screwed, Like you get that phone call and
you take it and you say yes. So I, like
I said, there was just so much I just didn't know,
and I was afraid to ask questions because I knew.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
He was super stressed out. So for me, I've just
been That's why I tried to keep it. I tried
to keep the jokes. Yeah, Like, I didn't want to
ask anything too serious, right, right, So I asked about
bubble guts. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I mean, I felt like it was the perfect question
because it kind of answered a lot of other questions
within that question exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I agree, gave it told us everything we needed to know.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That it's an important phone call that you don't want
to miss, right, so can't miss? Yeah, no, if you do,
what you're missing could be thousands of dollars literally, dos.
So I just said, tell me how I can support you,
how I can be there for you, whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I could tell.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He was getting more stressed out as it got closer
to time, but still didn't really want to talk about it,
and he would talk about it like like here and there,
but still nothing. And so then I'm like, well, I
just need to know what's going on, what to expect, Like,
I don't know what to do as a girlfriend because,
like I said, I didn't understand the stress of it.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Because when you shouldn't feel bad for not understanding. You've
never been in the position. Never, You've never don't mean
it like that, but I've never dated someone in this realm.
You don't have family in this realm, you know what
I mean. Yeah, and you're just not used to it.
So that's another thing.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So my uncle is a football coach, and he has
been a football coach as long as I can remember.
He's coached high school, college, NFL, back in college, like
all over the place. And so when it was in
the NFL, we got a glimpse of what that's like.
The NFL Draft. I dated a guy that played in
the NFL. I didn't I wasn't dating him when he
went through the draft, but I saw the aftermath of
all of that. So I've been in a lot of different,
you know, realms of sports and the levels of it,
(08:48):
but I've never actually been a part of baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah. So we are sitting in the living room.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well before that, before that, we went on a walk
that morning, like three months I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
This is the first time, like this is a genuine reaction.
Hey man, I haven't heard this either. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So so the night before he tossed and turned a lot.
I would I would feel him wake up and I'd
look and eyes were just wide open. I'm like, Okay,
we are not getting good sleep tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But I don't blame it. It's like Christmas morning.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But like stress, not excitement, but maybe excite for a
safe school.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You have no friends in your class.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Right, yes, yes, that's exact, new teacher, new teammates exactly,
you know, classmates whatever, Like it's just new.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So we get for.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
A walk and then we get back and I'm like, oh,
I'm gonna go shower, and then I realize, like, oh crap,
he probably can't shower now because it's so close to
time and he's got to be able to take the phone.
So I go back down and that morning we had
he'd gotten some phone call from a team, and like,
you know how all that, like they just kind of
let you know, like they're interested, but it's like you
just don't know it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
So it's not a phone call, no picked, and it's
not even.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The team, like it's there's all these like scouts and
people that work with like that. I don't even know
what their job titles are, but they're not really like
you know what I mean, yeah, no, no decision making.
So then we're sitting there, he's getting calls from his
agent and they're figuring things out, saying yester no, and
we're watching the draft happen on TV, like this team
(10:17):
is picking so and so, this team is picking so
and so.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
And he's so I y'all.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Don't know him, but he is very serious in a sense,
especially when it comes to sports, and I think that's
part of the reason he's so successful. But I mean,
these phone calls, you couldn't read them. You're like, what
are y'all talking about? Like what's going on your face? Like, no,
we don't know what you're We don't know what's going
on because you're just like mm hm yep, yes, no, yes, We're.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Like what are you saying? Yes to you?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
What are you saying now to Like we were please no,
So we really had no idea. Hung up the phone,
told us what was going on, said that or whatever,
and we were.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Like okay, cool, like yeah, whatever, whatever you want to do,
Like I don't know. Then gets another phone call, so
he was saying no to teams. Well, he was the
only talking to his agent.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh and you don't know those conversations because he didn't Okay,
you know, so he's having conversations because I guess.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I don't know, like guid, I still don't know. I
didn't ask questions. I just you probably wouldn't get any
answers either, because every time I ask my brother if
he tells me a story from the day and I'm
like details and he's like, that's about it. Yep, it's like,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, if someone were to ask me about my day
in details, we'd be there for probably twenty four hours exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, no details. No, men have no details. No, I know.
That's why they're bad gossipers. Yes, anyway, but that's why
they listen. They loved to listen to hours exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah. Yeah, and they'll do the throwing an occasional yeah f.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Her, Yeah, thank you. I needed to hear that.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So, yeah, he was just talking to his agent. We
really didn't know what was going on. And so then
he gets another phone call from his agent and we're
watching the TV screen. It says number whatever pick New
York Mets liked Corey Collins and it's his picture and
I'm like seeing next I'm slapping his leg. But he's
on the phone with his agent and then we're all

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Holy shit, that's Corey. Wait Corey like talk to us,

He hungs up the phone. He hung up the phone
and like kind of filled this in everything. He's like, yeah,
the MAT's picked me. And we were just like so excited.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I see jumping was he doing?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He just sat there, I mean mom and I I
mean teared up. Dad dabbed him up.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I was like, all his dad is awesome. That's sick.
He's cool. So that was fun. We were all hype
hugged him.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, And then I didn't know what to say because
I was like, are you happy or yeah he was,
I was.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
One of the questions I was gonna ask him, but
then it felt silly to ask, right, But like I
know that everyone like, especially if you're a baseball lover,
you grew up with a favorite team, right, like obviously, Yeah,
So then want.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, I know his family is like you're a met yeah,
because they're big. They're big Phillies fans and like got it.
I mean living in a uh not Alabama, Georgia Braves too,
but mainly Phillies.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
But you don't, like I didn't realize.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You just don't really have a say. And genuinely, I
know how my anxiety works. If I had to sit
next to my phone just waiting for a call and
you don't know when, like he didn't, he didn't have
a clue.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We just knew it was rounds.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Three through ten, yeah, that day, So we didn't know
when it at one point in time. Yeah, like you
just are literally sitting by your phone waiting. Was that
like hours yeah yeah, and well I don't know. Actually
maybe it's only like one or two hours.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Still that's a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And I didn't know what to do. Like Peyton was
sending his pictures from the beach. That's my sister where
she was in his pictures of Henry at the beach, and.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I was like, oh, Corey like these photos. Yeah, I
didn't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
It was I was trying to take your mind off
the Yeah, but it's like it's but you don't know
do you want your mind taking off things or do
you want to talk about this? And after it's just
sitting there and kind of like figuring things out, and
I'm like like, are you stressed? Are you happy? Are
you excited? Like I didn't know what to say, what
to do. But then we all went and got Mexican
and it was fun and celebrated, and I mean, it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
All worked out and incredible.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
He's pumped, I will say for me, it was so
much excitement and like wow. But then also you can't
help but let everything sink in of Okay, he's going
to be moving all over.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
So I had to host he Rock the South for
the rest of that week, which was last week and weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I leave tomorrow for a cruise for two weeks. Then
I come back.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I teach line dancing the Thursday after I get back
on a Wednesday. I have surgery on my toe that
Monday and teach line dan singing in that Thursday.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Is your toe gonna be good for line dancing? I'm
gonna be in a boot. PG nineans right.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Can be really cute, grind, don't stop, No, absolutely nice,
just a different kind of boot, you know, cowboy boot
basically walking boot.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, it's a boot.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So then I'm like, hmm, that's what five weeks, six
weeks yep.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, So a lot just kind of set in.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And then you've got those girls or friends or call
them friends, whatever they are. They're like, oh my gosh,
you're living out every girl's dream. You're a baseball girlfriend,
you're a wag. And I'm like, what, Who's dream?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I'm like, wait, it's like, I don't know. It's like
a high school musical. Whose dream is it? Yours? Are mine?
Or mind? Or yours?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Literally? And I'm like no, no, no, no, no, y'all.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Him going out and doing all of this is freaking incredible,
but that is his.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And you you not wanting to be well directly associated,
like it's not my identity.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Ye right, My boyfriend is my identity because I love
him and he's my boyfriend and I show him off
and I'm proud of him and all of that support support. Yeah,
but him doing his thing is not my identity.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, you're not. You're not automatically gonna be like hotel
hopping with him.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
No, And like we've had those talks of like flexibility.
You never know when you're gonna be bumped up from
team to team. And I don't know if you'all know,
but you don't just draft and you're like, oh, I'm
in the MLB, like I'm playing for the Lettle the
New York Mets, Like that's not how that works. There's
a bunch of minor league teams are all over and
so you're traveling.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And that's the first thing I did when you texted
me that he got picked.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I was like, Okay, teams and right now he's in
Florida doing all of that and signing and everything that
comes along with that.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But you just never know when you get bummed up.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
And yeah, we've had this talks like being flexible, but
like for me of right now, it's being flexible in
terms of Okay, you're gonna be moving around, bumping around whatever,
and where I come visit will change, because I've had
a lot of people asking me where you're gonna move
in with him, and it's like, well, we're not married. Yeah,
in terms of even I think how the organization allows
things or does things, and you know, we haven't been
(17:18):
dating that long, so people are like, we are you
all getting engaged soon, and it's like.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well, that is not even anything we've really talked about.
Like obviously we've talked about.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Future together and how that's what we want to spend
the future together, but we haven't talked about timeline.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Because so for me and anyone that knows me and
he knows this about me, he would not we would
not be dating if he didn't accept this. With me,
I am so big on my own personal brand. I
have my Riley Catherine quote unquote brand with socials. I'm
wanting to move into a little bit more of a
(17:55):
fitness brand, and then we've got at a girl. Yeah,
so like that that is my brand. That is my identity,
and that is what I work towards, right, And just
just like I'm supporting him through everything he's going through,
he supports me.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So everyone's just kind of like, well, you're a baseball girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Seem to be baseball and I'm like, well, I mean yes,
because my boyfriend, Like and also I'm sorry, but that's
also not his identity either. Baseball is not just who
he is, it's what he does, and people don't get
to see all the sides of him of like what
a great guy he is and a lot of I mean,
his passion for when he's done, he wants to be
a within law enforcement, Like that's what his passion, true passion,
(18:42):
well besides baseball, Like he's very passionate about all that,
which is so cool. Not a lot of people like
I couldn't go into that. No, So, like he's got
a lot that makes him him. It's not just baseball.
So you know all this response to and I don't know,
like all these girl friends and wives turn into reality
stars for being whatever, and it's always.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
About their cutest outfits.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Hell, when he played at Georgia, all I did was
look up athletic rompers and dresses and athletic cute red
and black athletic clothes that I could go.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
You could pull up a trash bag though you never
looked bad. No, I'm just saying though, like I'm not
trendy like that. You mean, though, yeah, you're you're not
very like like your main focus is not fashion.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
No, and these girls literally live for no offense have
been very I guess judgmental of a lot of these women.
I'm sorry, but I just for me and I I'll
get to that in a second. But like they wake
up and it's like game day, what are we gonna wear?
Oh my gosh, we gotta post this, we gotta post that.
And and I get so, like I said, my uncle
(19:47):
being a football coach. I've seen my aunt and she
worked very hard for a good bit of time when
my uncle first got into coaching, and she, honestly is
to think for a lot of how he was able
to even get into coaching right, and then had twins
and you know, having twins, but then him being a
football coach, he was never home.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yea, So my aunt did so much.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And so when you start looking down the road, when
it's like, and who knows how long he'll be playing for, Well,
that's the thing, Like it could be two years, it
could be ten years, it could be thirty years. I
mean you, well, not thirty years. But you just don't
know the timeline of things. And so if down the
road something were to were married and kids are in
(20:26):
the picture, and it's like, okay, well, what's the best
way to navigate all of this. But at the end
of the day, I'm very passionate about my own.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I feel like, like not this is not coming from
a judgmental place. But it's from like I mean, there's
like shows that showcase this kind of situation, like the
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader show. Did you watch that? No? But
my mom wants me to watch it. Very good. There
is this girl who she's a fifth year cheerleader so
you can only do five years. And her boyfriend fiance
(20:54):
or whatever he is, I don't remember. He was really
really passionate about acting. Wow, wanted to live in la
but wanted to be with her, so he did pause
his acting career to live with her and do her
Dallas Cowboy step. And he talks about how like you know,
he's just kind of going through the motions. This is
not his identity, but it'll be his time to shine.
(21:15):
But I'm saying that because I don't think it necessarily
has to be that way, right, Like I don't think
you have to put your own No, you don't have
to give up your own dreams, like I think people forget,
like I know, long distance is hard, obviously. Yeah that's
without saying like right, yeah, everyone's like, oh my gosh,
this is not a dream.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I'm like, yeah, I get to go like six weeks
without seeing if it's so fine?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
But I think it's worth it to keep your own
independence too, Like I feel like down the road, it
would be very easy to say, let's scenario, he plays
for six years, you followed him the whole time, and
then you kind of look back and you're like, who
am I? What have I done for six years? What
have I done for six years? Right? And that's important
to keep your own identity and be you through everything. Yes,
(22:01):
still support.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Absolutely, and I will make an effort to go visit
as much as possible because I go crazy when I
don't see him, Like not actually, but I'm like.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, oh I hate it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I hate distance, Like I bawled my eyes out when
I left Georgia.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I mean, yeah, in this situation, no matter what path
you choose, you're sacrificing something. And that's yes, you both are,
not sorry, not just you, right, And so it's gonna
be it's gonna be a challenge, but it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It's it is super exciting. And he's been so sweet
of like, no, this is our journey, this is our journey.
But I will I will be the first to say
this is something I'm very passionate about. Yeah, when you
see these interviews of couples. I'm thinking one specifically, I'm
not gonna say names. And they're interviewing her about his
athletic career. Yeah, why it is his athletic career. I
(22:51):
did nothing. I did not go out there and play.
I am not playing. I might be good for his
mental health outside of baseball. Sure, I am not the
one to speak his career.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Do not know?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I I think I'm just so passionate about letting
letting him live out his dream and let me live
out mine and support each.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Other the whole way through all of that. I totally agree.
I think that's I mean, that's how I would do
it if I were going through something similar.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
And like Spence was being so funny this money, like
are you going to become an influencer?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I'm like, no, I am one.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Without yeah, without being a baseball girlfriend as an influencer,
Like I just.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
So, yeah, we've gotten I've gotten lots of questions or
even been like oh well he just sagnas, you don't
have to work, and it's like, what are you talking about?
That's not no now for me, It's like, Okay, I
know how much money I have to make now because
I want to make more.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Not really, but I just your competitive person. I'm very competitive.
I'm also very big. I'm like, I want to.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Support myself as something were to happen. I want to
know I can take care of myself and I want
to contribute to us.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
The only the only time I can see myself just
not working is if financially in a marriage it made sense. Yes,
Otherwise what do I look like asking my husband? Can
I buy a shirt today? Thank you? That is my
reasoning to you. I don't know that it's also my
(24:16):
money exactly exactly like using it. We can do a
joint bank account whatever, but I'm having my own also, yes, sorry,
because I who am I to go spend money? And
now I feel like it's like I did I just
spend bill money? Like you're handling the finances. Are you
just gonna give me allowance and tell me how much
I can spend? Like? Pass?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Thank you, pass amen, thank you, thank you. That's how
I feel like, I know, car I want to.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, I mean, I want to have one marriage. I
don't want to divorce, but say that horrible day comes,
What the hell am I doing? Am I left high
and dry and then what the fuck I mean? Right?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Am I just on my ass?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I have no house because I didn't contribute to the bills,
right I have I have no car because he's probably
paying the carpet. Yeah, I have no food. He bought
all the grocery. Like what am I doing? Yeah? Am
I homeless? And it just goes back to that.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Whole having your own career, identity, passions, income, taking care
of yourself because I one thing I love about him
is he knows I can take care of myself.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, but he wants to take care of me. And
I'm not talking about financially, just like in a relationship setting.
And but that's how I also am even financially, Like, Okay,
you can take me on a date every once in
a while if you want to spend money on me
other than that, I've got it, thank you. Yeah, yeah, no,
I get it. It sounds bad, but I just know I
(25:40):
get it. I can't. I mean, I pick up the
tabs sometimes, like but grudgingly, like the guy doesn't want
me to, but like I'm like no, like really you
pay last day times? Yes? Like please let me pick
up what a burger? This time. It's not like it's
breaking me. So that's kind of my thoughts and opinions.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Have I looked at cute athletic tops that are like
the camo green with the Camo lettering of New York Mets.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, orange and blue exciting? Oh my gosh what without?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yes, the orange and blue not my thing. So we're
gonna do blue and white. We're gonna be like black
and white, gray and black, like we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Do no orange. No, I didn't hear orange and there. No, no,
no orange. I love the color orange, not even four
team stuff, like, I just like it. No, it's not
my color. It might be a good color, it's not
my colors. So I don't know. But yeah, so I
guess I'm a what is wag? Wife and girlfriend? I
(26:39):
don't really know, no, y'all, Like I really don't even know.
I just know. People have DMed me asking what all
of this means for me and Coco, And that's what
that's what it means for me and Coco. Coco is
going to play for I will say.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
When we woke up the next morning, I said, wait,
how does it feel to be a professional athlete?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Isn't that cool.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
No, it's so amazing. Little Hiley is not little Riley,
young Riley. I do know what you mean. She's like,
oh my gosh, that was your dream.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I mean, not that you can go pro and gymnastics
because that's my thing when I was little, but still
professional athlete is the coolest thing in the entire world.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, I'll say you were a pro because like and two,
like when we were having that whole conversation, like, yeah,
go for it. Another thing is like talking about joining
or drafting or whatever, like why wouldn't you go for it? Who?
I mean, realistically, of all the baseball players in America,
who's getting this opportunity? Oh, the tiniest percent of you exactly,
(27:37):
the tiniest go for it. And the networking y'all.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
So one thing about me is I see networking in
everything I do. That is like Numero uno in my
life is networking and meeting people. I'm like, Babe, the
people you're gonna meet you just don't know. You just
don't even know what can come from all this. I
think it's the coolest experience. I'm so happy for him.
He has been waiting a long time for this to
fall into for him. Because he's worked his tail off.
(28:02):
He's very very, very very talented. He's had some hard
things he's had to overcome, and just a lot with
all of it. So the fact that it all fell
into place and he had a great last year, I
mean it's really incredible. The distance is gonna suck, yeah,
but I can't wait to be his biggest cheerleader. I
am still Riley, Catherine Riley Catherine White. I have my
(28:23):
own brand, my own everything. My identity is not being
a baseball girlfriend. I am Corey's girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah. Oh that's perfect. I like that. Yeah that was good. Really,
that was a great boom. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So if y'all love supporting at a girl, let's go Mets, go.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Mat Well, that was my question though, Do I support
what team? Am I supporting right now? Well?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So that's also funny to think about, because it's like,
do you really want them to do well right now?
Because if they don't do well and like the first
baseman goes or something, is that a greater chance for
Corey to get bumped?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
But I didn't even get that far in my train
of thought. I was just like, do I have to
turn into a Mets face? You know? Now? Or can
I wait till Coury is actually you know, great question.
I'm just like, what do I do? Right? I guess
gomets cometes for now? Go Corey, Corey, Corey for now?
Go Coco? So yeah, go oh that's so exciting. So
(29:32):
are you a wag? Cousin? What am I? So? Wait? Wait?
Wag a wagon? That's kind of fun? Wait? What is
what is Corey to me? Though? Cousin and friend? That's
what I am. I'm a calf. You're a calf? Oh
(29:52):
my god, I love it. O. I'm a wag your calf?
And what is Corey to me? Though? And husband? Bah,
he's a ba. I'm the wag to his ba. He's
the bottom my wag And I'm y'all's calf. Why do
I feel like we live on a farm and a wag?
(30:16):
These animals on a farm? Welcome to the farmhouse. Well,
we love y'all. Thanks for all the love and support
and everything. At a boy Corey at a boy? Hell
yeah yeah. Had a girl Riley for her to rock
the South endeavor, Thank you'll, thank y'all. Really awesome and
(30:37):
a girl meet because I learned how to crochet this week.
Shut the front door. I really did. I love that
Nana and Peyton crochet all the time. Wow, can't wait.
I just learned how to do a daisy granny square.
If anyone knows what that daisy granny heck, yeah, I
don't know. It's just a square, cute, little crochet square
(30:58):
I used. I chose blue yard for the background. It
has a little daisy in the middle. It's very cute. Wait,
that's pretty. I'm gonna make a bag out of it.
Like yeah, anyway, Well, thank you all for listening.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
We love y'all so much, and sorry this was chaotic
and all over the place, but no, I'm a wag.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's perfect, just kidding. I'm Corey's girlfriend exactly. You're cg.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh why did that just take me like three tired
to click?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
We're tired? Yeah, oh yeah, that's an understatement. But okay.
We love y'all. We'll see y'all next time.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
