CYNT MARSHALL: OK, so listen. So I read, and you probably know who said this. But I don't want to call them out. That someone once said, women were always looked at like intruders into a supposedly man's sport. That we were intruders, that we shouldn't be in these sports that men are in. Do you think that mindset still exists today to some degree?

MAYBELLE BLAIR: It does. But you know, hey, we're breaking that barrier. And that's what we're doing for the future. That's what you young kids, you're kids to me, that's what you got to do is break that and go forward. Don't go backwards. Teach your daughters, hey, we're as equal as a man. But don't give us a job that a man can do better. If we're as equal as a man, let us have that job. And if we're better, let's go above them.

CYNT MARSHALL: Above them, I like that.

MAYBELLE BLAIR: Yeah, that's right. Let's go above them and get our pay.
