98
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: unrivaled team Coming up next, Welcome back Slices. Today's the

99
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: big day, our unrivaled team draft. Now, if you haven't

100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: picked your unrivaled squad just yet, grab a pen and

101
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: some paper and play along with us. By the end

102
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: of the show, your squad will be revealed. If you

103
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: already have a squad, no worries. This is also a

104
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: great way to get familiar with the teams and players

105
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: ahead of tip off on Friday. Okay, so this is

106
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: how this is gonna work. Grab a piece of paper

107
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: and a pen. You can hit pause for a second.

108
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: You've got to run into another room to grab them. Okay,

109
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: got it? Okay, Now, you can obviously use multiple pieces

110
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: of paper, but if you want to have a little

111
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: fun with it, let's just split one page into eight boxes.

112
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 1: So take the page and draw one vertical line down

113
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the middle, splitting the page vertically in half. Now add

114
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: three horizontal lines, splitting the page horizontally into four sections.

115
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: So now you should have eight boxes of roughly the

116
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: same size on your page. If it's not perfect, no worries. Now,

117
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: in every single box except for the bottom two, write

118
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: the numbers one, two, three, four, five six top to

119
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: bottom on the left side of the box. Every box

120
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: except for the bottom two should have one, two, three, four,

121
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: five six going from top to bottom on the left

122
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: hand side. Now, it'll definitely help you if you pull

123
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: up the Unrivaled website to see the team logos while

124
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: you do this. But if you're driving or walking, or

125
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: exercising or otherwise can't look at your screen, don't worry.

126
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: We got you for that part. Okay, here's how this

127
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: is gonna work. We're gonna rank each Unrivaled club one

128
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: through six in six different categories, and then the final

Speaker 1: scores will reveal our preferred squad. Shout out to front

Speaker 1: of the show claim Conahan and her crew for this

131
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: draft idea. We used most of the categories that they used,

132
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: but we came up with a little bit of changes too.

133
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna be using to pick our

134
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: club team name, color, slash logo slash branding, head coaches, players, chemistry,

135

Speaker 1: and winability of the roster as a whole on the court,

136
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: and duo slash combos we didn't know we needed off

137
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,240

155
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: So the fact that they're called Vinyl, I just think

156
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: is so automatically. Yes for me, I really also enjoy laces.

157
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: I think that's very unique. I think in basketball lace

158
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: them up, you know. I think that's probably what they

159
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: were talking about when they're throwing ideas at the wall.

160
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: U love that bonus points for that, And then I

161
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: don't missed BC. It just it doesn't do it for me.

162
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 4: It makes me the of medicine immediately, Okay, Like I

163
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: should be watching a commercial and they're like, yeah, it's

164
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: a nasal spray. Take this, Yeah, high blood pressure, please

165
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: do not like it's just something about that just does

166
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 4: it hit right for me.

167
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: Alex's first thought.

168
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 5: I love the lunar owls, although I did just google

169
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 5: to see like what species the lunar owls is and

170
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: where you can find them, and I think it's a

171
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 5: made up animal, Like obviously they're owls, and I'm sure

172
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 5: that there are lunar varieties of other creatures, but I thought.

173
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 2: That was so fun.

174
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 5: Vinyl is my last one because vinyl makes me think

175
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: of plastic, which makes me think of climate change in

176
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 5: the world degrading. So even though I'm sure they did

177
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: not mean that association, just that's my last one.

178
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit closer to meish for sure. Missed

179
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: is my last. I'm glad you said something like nasal

180
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: spray or medicine you shouldn't take if you have high

181
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: blood pressure. For me, like I said, it's just one

182
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: letter away from moist and it sounds like some sort

183
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: of like vaginal douche. Oh like if you're feeling unfresh,

184
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: just a seven day treatment with miss BC just not

185
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: not my favorite. And lunar owls were my second to last.

186
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: I love owls. I don't know why they're lunar, what

187
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: do they have to do with the moon. And also

188
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: it just doesn't ring off. It doesn't like roll off

189
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: the tongue. Lunar owls. It's just not pretty sounding. Laces

190
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: were my second favorite, though. I like the idea of lace's,

191
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: I like the connection. I like phantom. I don't know why.

192
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: I just like the mystery of it all. And I

193
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: feel like I haven't seen a lot of teams. The

194
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: only thing that's weird about that for me is I

195
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: usually don't like singular things like she's a phantoms, but

196
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: I just like I just like the name.

197
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: It's spooky, it's great common.

198
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just like I haven't heard anything like it.

199
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: You don't usually hear team names that are you know,

200
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: ac cult like or spooky or you know, and I

201
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: think it's bold to have that. Okay, everyone, make sure

202
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: you've got your names filled out one to six, your

203
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: favorite in number one down to your least favorite in

204
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: number six. Okay, Next, we're going top right box. This

205
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: is color logo and branding. This is kind of tough

206
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: for an audio medium. I'm going to describe them to

207
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: you a little bit. If you can pull it up

208
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: and look at them, that's definitely going to help you.

209
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: But if you're driving, exercising, etc. Quick summary of each

210
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: is the Laces is an aqua colored circle with the

211
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: outline of a basketball inside and a reddish pink l

212
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: made out of shoelaces. Lunar owls is a purplish blue

213
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: owl in a yellow circle. Mist is a light blue

214
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: sky with navy mountains and trees emerging from white clouds.

215
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: Phantom is a black basketball with a white ghost over

216
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: it and some spooky looking letters saying phantom. Rose is

217
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: a forest green circle with a pink rose inside. In

218
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: the center of the rose is a basketball, and Vinyl

219
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: is a deep magenta kind of burgundy red record, like

220
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: a record from a record player with a white and

221
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: light blue basketball inside. Now, if you need to pause

222
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: and take a little bit of time with this one,

223
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: feel free. Like I said, you could pull up the clubs,

224
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: but list these again, from one to six, your favorite

225
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: and number one all the way down to number six.

226
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: Let's take a minute and do that. All right, let's

227
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: talk through this for a minute here. I'm gonna go first.

228
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: This was really hard for me because I actually liked

229
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: almost all of them. I think they did a pretty

230
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: good job. I gotta go with the laces. I just

231
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: think it's really cool how the l is like weaving

232
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: in and out of the rest of the logo. I

233
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: love again the reference to shoelaces and the color scheme

234
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: is cool and different, something I haven't seen in a

235
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: lot of other sports teams. I also was really drawn

236
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: to the mist I've talked in the past. There's this

237
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned on the show, although I'm not positive.

238
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: There's this new lower level soccer team called Salmon Bay FC,

239
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: and I literally want to live in their crest. It

240
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: has this like beautiful salmon colored sky and the water

241
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: in the mountains and that's what this reminds me of,

242
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: is like Lake Tahoe or someplace that I love visiting.

243
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: So the mist was a beautiful landscape that made me

244
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: want to go there, So that was number two. I

245
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: also really love Phantom. It just again was completely different

246
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: than anything I've ever seen from a sports logo. Honestly,

247
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: the only one I didn't really like was Rose. It

248
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: just didn't do it for me.

249
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 4: Vinyl is last for me because who yeah, because I

250
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: was expecting so much.

251
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: The name is great, but the record doesn't even look

252
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: like a record.

253
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 4: It's like just some random circle with some squiggly lines

254
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: in the middle of it somewhere. It just doesn't It's

255
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: not giving me record like I needed to. Laces they're

256
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: my number two for the same reasons. I also love

257
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 4: that like is it turquoise?

258
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: Is it qua till? Yeah?

259
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that color.

260
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: If folks go to the Laces Instagram page, they've got

261
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 4: the jerseys in that color sick.

262
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're gorgeous.

263
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: So absolutely my number one in this category is Phantom. Yeah,

264
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: because I love I'm a basic bitch.

265
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe that's what it is.

266
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 4: I love basic black and white and the little ghostages.

267
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: Look, it's adorable.

268
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: How can you not love that?

269
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: What you got? Alex?

270
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: Okay, so number one, I'm with you. Sarah Laces just

271
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 5: super cool. Love the way that it intersects. Then I

272
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 5: have the miss because I do like the landscape. My

273
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 5: only other concern with it, apart from the fact that

274
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: there appears to be no basketball, which I guess is

275
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 5: a prerequisite for me, the logo has be on one

276
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 5: side see on the other for basketball club. But when

277
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 5: I look at it, I do kind of say, be

278
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 5: missed CE, be missed.

279
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: CE like it.

280
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 5: So as I'm saying this, I think I'm gonna move

281
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 5: them down. I'm gonna move them down to number three.

282
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: I'm going to put the lunar owls at number two,

283
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: with a weird looking owl with its basketball ballet. Phantom

284
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 5: is number five for me for some reason, Like I

285
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: know you were kind of convincing me. I'm second guessing

286
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 5: myself now, but it reminded me a little bit too

287
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 5: much of like Spirit Halloween.

288
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: Just quick aside for those who will appreciate this. When

289
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: I see ghosts like that. There was this incredible Saturday

290
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: Night Live episode with Christopher Walkin where they had a

291
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: Christopher Walkin Family renew and every cast member had to

292
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: do a Walkin impression to him, and Amy Poehler was

293
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: by far the best. She was better than Christopher Walkin,

294
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: and her thing just kept being like, I don't like ghosts,

295
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: the spooky, and every time I see a ghost down

296
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: my brain just goes I don't like ghosts anyway. All right,

297
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: moving on second box down on the left. Head coaches. Now,

298
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: let me just put this out there. If you don't

299
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: know shit about any of these coaches, if you don't

300
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: have strong opinions about any of them, you don't have

301
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: to rank them. If you're worried that the you know,

302
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: protecting the point system and the integrity of your scoring

303
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: will be affected by randomly assigning numbers to people who

304
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: don't care about, don't do it. But we want to

305
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: give you all the information to work with and if

306
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: you want to make choices based on coaches, here you go.

307
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: The Lace's head coach is Andrew Wade, a player development

Speaker 1: Chicago Sky last year. She was let go after just

347
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: one season in Chicago. My feelings on that have been made. Okay,

348
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: rank your teams by coach one through six, and again,

349
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: if you got no thoughts on the coaches, you can

350
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: always leave the category blank to protect the integrity of

351
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: your point system. Let's talk through this quickly, mish Alex.

352
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: Did you have any big takeaways on this? It's hard

353
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: because there are a couple that I'm like, oh cool, yeah,

354
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: and then there's something I'm like that I don't really care.

355
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

356
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 5: My list is pretty simple. After Muffet interview yesterday, I'm like,

357
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 5: you gotta put the women first. So go in with

358
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: t Spoon number one, Nola Henry number two, three through six,

359
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 5: the men based on how often they worked with women's

360
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 5: basketball players, judging if they fall three.

361
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: Through six, it's very reasonable.

362
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 4: I have got Nola Henry Rose VC head coaches number

363
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 4: one because first of all, Coastal Athletic Association grad shout

364
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 4: out College of Charleston, shout out to Nola.

365
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: Congrats to her on the new gig.

366
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 4: Also, I got a chance to chat with her when

367
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: I was out in Phoenix and they played the Mercury

368
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: played the Sparks, and she was on that Sparks coaching staff.

369
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 4: So shout out to her number two Spoon. It's gotta

370
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 4: be Spoon. She's got to be one or two. I'm

371
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 4: riding or dying with her period. I would love to

372
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 4: have played for her. I would run through a wall

373
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 4: for her right now.

374
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: Frankly.

375
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: At three, I have Phil Handy because he's one of

376
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: those real ogs like I've been following his I believe

377
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 4: his Instagram is like ninety four feet of Game or

378
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 4: something like that, and he's been unlocking the secrets and

379
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: throwing out drills and skills and all that kind of

380
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 4: stuff since when I was playing in high school. And

381
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: it also is really involved, as you just said, Alex

382
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 4: on the women's side with women's players on purpose and

383
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 4: then the rest.

384
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: Are Yeah, so DJ Sackman, I don't think it's had

385
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: a lot involvement with the WNBA women's side until this,

386
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: but I at least like that he created this big,

387
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: like basketball education thing, and so I'm down with that.

388
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: And then I will probably get skewered for this and

389
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't say it aloud, but I just got to drop

390
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: the guy from the Catholic Church University to last. I

391
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: just I don't want too much of God in my coaching.

392
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: Let's just let him her it they if it exists,

393
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: take care of more important things than our huddle. Okay, anyway,

394
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: rank your coaches, rank your teams, and again you can

395
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: leave them blake. Okay, second, box down on the right players. Now,

396
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: there are probably some players you just can't imagine rooting against.

397
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it's someone from your alma mater or your w squad,

398
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: someone you wish was on your squad you always want

399
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: to rock with, and you're gonna take this chance to

400
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: root for. On the other hand, there might be a

401
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: player you just can't imagine yourself rooting for. They played

402
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: for your college rival, they're on your w rival, they

403
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: date the chick you like, they date the dude you like.

404
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: They're messy on social they're messy in life, whatever it is.

405
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: This is your opportunity to ding a team for carrying

406
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: a player you just cannot imagine rooting for. Now. This

407
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: was going to be two separate categories, and then I

408
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: realized it's impossible to elevate the players you like without

409
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: being affected by the players that you don't. So it's

410
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: just one category. This is less about how they play together.

411
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: This is less about whether they're gonna win as a

412
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: result of chemistry or how good they are at basketball.

413
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: This is just who you like and who you don't like.

414
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: Here are the rosters for each club, and I'll give

415
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: you each player's current or most recent W squad in

416
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: case that's helpful to So. The Laces have the Aces

434
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: one of those down. If not, you probably need to pause,

435
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: take a look and be reminded. Just a note here

436
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: there's a couple squads with two or more players from

437
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: one WNBA team. So if you want to keep rooting

438
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: for your w squad via Unrivaled, or if you want

439
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: to totally change things up, just note. There's a couple

440
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: of aces on the Laces, there's a couple of links

441
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: on the Lunar Owls congregating on the Mist, Mercury gathering

442
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: together on the Phantom, and there are two dream players

443
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: on Vinyl. Let's pause and take a minute and write

444
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: our thoughts down.

445
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 5: I have answers and I'm not sure if I like them.

446
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: I also came up with some answers that I am

447
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: sure to want to change later. I was also thinking

448
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: and yell weigh in on this big citrus. If people

449
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: want should they consider counting this category?

450
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 5: Twice I was wondering the same thing. I was like,

451
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: how can we rank players with the same.

452
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: As Nates like, we don't want to get too complicated

453
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: on this, we don't want to make it really tricky.

454
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: But in this case, I feel like, if you feel

455
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: very strongly about players, you could decide to give extra

456
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: weight to this category and we'll tell you how to

457
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: do that at the end. So think to yourself if

458
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: you want to double up on this category of players,

459
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: or if, like me, this was impossible because you like

460
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: all of them, maybe it doesn't matter as much, and

461
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: the point is to let the chips fall where they may.

462
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 5: See Sarah, this is what I love about the show.

463
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 5: Back when I was taking seventeen quizzes as a fourteen

464
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 5: year old, they never gave me the flexibility to take

465
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 5: things into account as they applied to me. It was

466
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 5: just all in.

467
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: By the end, they were just like you're a terrible kisser,

468
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: and if you don't eat enough pineapple, your vagina's gonna

469
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: taste like shit.

470
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 5: That was literally takeaways.

471
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: By the time you were done reading the magazine, that

472
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: was the two things you were left with. And also,

473
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: you're not a lesbian, Misha, it's just a face.

474
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 4: I will say I never took any of those quizzes

475
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 4: because I knew I was.

476
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: Gay at like three.

477
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: So good for you. Get us started since you did

478
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: yours in advance. Oh my gosh, don't do me.

479
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: Okay, So first up ROSEBC because Britney Sykes, because the

480
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 4: season that would have been for the Mystics had she

481
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 4: not been injured in dealing with all of that.

482
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: Also, I just love her as a human.

483
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 4: I feel like she's one of the most down to

484
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: earth folks I've ever had the chance to speak with

485
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 4: across sports. Frankly, she's hilarious. So she puts Rose at

486
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 4: the top for me. Phantom has multiple players that I love,

487
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 4: but mostly I am enjoying the Oregon reup with with

488
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 4: Sabrina and Satu. I think they were robbed. In twenty twenty,

489
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: A lot of people gave Sabrina flack for that, you

490
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 4: know the last few seasons saying oh, would you have.

491
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: Even won a championship?

492
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 4: I think, actually yes, and I'm very excited to see

493
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 4: them play together again.

494
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: And then the lunar owls.

495
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 4: I gotta give a shout out to Courtney Williams, who

496
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: I put as my Fit of the Year award winner

497
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 4: in our slices because I thought that chaft fit was nuts,

498
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 4: but also because Skyler digg and Smith is a Leo queen.

499
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: You know, to some she may be problematic. To me,

500
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: it's just the cost of admission, you know what I'm saying.

501
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 4: And yeah, the rest laces I gave a little shout

502
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: out to there at fourth because Tip Hays, if folks

503
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 4: remember her playing three v three for Azerbaijan and the Olympics,

504
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 4: was just incredible, pulled off some upsets.

505
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, that's where I say with that, Okay, Alex,

506
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: what you got? Yeah?

507
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 5: For me, the top two were super clear. I went

508
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 5: with Roseen Vinyl in that order, and the reason I

509
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 5: did that was I feel like, for the most part,

510
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 5: the players on these teams are from WNBA teams that

511
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 5: have not had success in the last couple of years,

512
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 5: and so these players have been underrated and not able

513
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 5: to perform to the degree that they would be able

514
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 5: to with better players on their team, and so I'm

515
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 5: super curious to see what these teams are able to

516
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 5: do together and if it helps these players shine a

517
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 5: little bit more.

518
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: Gosh, I love Alex's brain. It always works so differently

519
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: from mine, and it's such a fascinating exercise to do

520
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: the same thing and end up in different places and

521
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: for different reasons. Yeah, because Rosenviinel are both pretty low

522
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: for me, I'm not going to get into any details,

523
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: but my number one is the missed. It's just no

524
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: skips on that one for me. I'm a huge Branda

525
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: Stewart fan. I'm a huge Jewel Lloyd fan. I love

526
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: watching Jewel play. And then Sludy, my girl from This

527
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: from the Sky, I like watching her handles and Djena

528
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: just adds a little spice. So yeah, this was number one,

529
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: followed very closely by the Lunar Owls because Nafisa Collier

530
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: is very quickly becoming one of my favorite players. And

531
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: Courtney Williams. I love watching Courtney Williams. Yeah, and Skyler

532
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: digg and Smith is always going to bring you just

533
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: something it could be drama, it could be a fight

534
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: on the bench, or it could be some great play.

535
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: I want to watch it either way, and right will never, ever,

536
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: ever not be glad that she gave us that incredible

537
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: sound bite when she didn't know she was miked up

538
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: when she said that her pussy was old because she

539
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: had babies like that. The rest of her felt okay,

540
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: but she had old pussy. I don't know if we're

541
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna bleep that, and if we do, just know that

542
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying the P word and maybe forever for that.

543
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: Phantom and Laces, it was kind of like a one

544
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: or the other. There's so many people on both of

545
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: those squads, so this was really really tough for me,

546
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: and I imagine it was tough for everybody. Which is

547
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: congrats to unrivaled on making really cool squads, really interesting squads,

548
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: and making that a really tough exercise. Okay, make your

549
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: rankings one through six, all right, moving on third box

550
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: down the left side. This is chemistry and winnability of

551
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: the roster on the court. So think back to the

552
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: rosters we just listed. Which squad feels like a winner,

553
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: Which club has the best balance of bigs and guards?

554
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: Speed and size, handles and skill sets. Are their players

555
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 1: you think will play really well together? Maybe not. I'm

556
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: going to read them for you one more time. Start

557
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: thinking about how they might fit together on the court.

558
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: The laces are Jackie Young, Tip Hayes, Kayla McBride, Alissa Thomas,

559
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: Kate Martin and Stephanie Dolson. The lunar owls are Nafisa Collier,

560
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: Courtney Williams, Skyler Digg and Smith, Ali Shah Gray, Shakira

561
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: Austin and Cameron Brink.

562
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: The myst are Brianna Stewart, djon A.

563
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: Carrington, Courtney Vanderslute Jewel Lloyd, Aliah Edwards and Rakia Jackson,

564
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: Phantom Satusabele, Marina Maybray, Britney Griner, Natasha Cloud, Katie lu

565
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: Samuelson and Sabrinia Escu Rose Are, Angel Reyes, Chelsea Gray,

566
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: Britney Sykes, Kalia Copper, Azare Stevens and Lexie Hall. And

567
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: the vinyl are Arikee Gumbuwallee, Ray Burrell, Ryan Howard, Aliah Boston,

568
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Canada and Dierica Hanby. This is chemistry on the court.

569
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: Take a moment and make your rankings.

570
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 5: I feel like, I'm just writing words on a page.

571
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 5: Should they don't have any meaning attached to them. Yeah.

572
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm like, I could spend hours, so

573
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: instead I'm just gonna go with my gut. This one

574
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: was probably the hardest. It's hard to imagine some of them,

575
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: and especially with this style of three on three, which

576
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: we haven't watched a lot. It's not half court, so

577
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: you do have to get up and back, but it's

578
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: a shorter court than a standard. How much are the

579
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: bigs going to be able to handle defending people with

580
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: like great handles? How much are the shorter, smaller players

581
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: going to be able to actually make great plays in space?

582
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: Like this is? This is really hard. I'm going to

583
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: start so that later when you say stuff, I don't

584
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: change my answers because I realized how wrong I was.

585
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: I just want my gut, as wrong as it may be,

586
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: to be what I stick with. Again, do not know

587
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: why I answer these things. I said the mist as

588
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: number one, I just for some reason, Briana Stewart seems

589
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 1: just so perfect for this particular style of play, and

590
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: with jewel and slute feeding her, and just like the

591
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: that makeup of that squad to me, is like a

592
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: really good mix of bigs and guards. Then I went Vinyl,

593
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm really thrilled and excited to see Ari Gay in

594
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: this space. After that, again, don't ask me why I

595
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: got the phantom, I think it's because I'm really fired

596
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: up to see Sabrina feeding Britney Griner and Marina maybriy

597
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: when she gets hot. And then the unicorn s too sable,

598
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: I think, again, another player who's going to be just

599
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 1: really well suited to this style of play. And then

600
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: after that I randomly chose the lunar owls. Again, I

601
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: think Fee is a great fit for this. I think

602
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: Skyler and Court like I just yeah, again, who the knows?

603
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: And I'm already I'm already really questioning my answers, But

604
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: that's what I went with. How about you, al.

605
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 5: I was thinking of chemistry a little bit differently, thinking

606
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 5: about where are we going to have the fewest clashes

607
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 5: of personality, And to me, that is the laces that team.

608
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 5: I think, especially you know Kate Martin, I think you

609
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 5: could throw her anywhere and she's going to bring the

610
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 5: people together. You also then have Steph Dolson and Jackie Young,

611
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 5: who both won gold with the US in twenty twenty

612
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 5: technically twenty twenty one with that first three on three

613
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 5: gold medal three x three, I guess in that case, Yeah,

614
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 5: I just don't see that team having a lot of

615
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 5: intrapersonal problems, and so I think that's going to lead

616
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 5: to good chemistry. Then I have the missed because I

617
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 5: just I think, similar to what you said Sarah before,

618
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 5: it's just Darntony misses on that roster. And then I

619
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 5: have Vinyl Phantom, lunar owls, and Rose and I didn't

620
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 5: read that much into any of those, and so you

621
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 5: shouldn't either.

622
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: Okay, pressures on me are hoop head the expert. Let's

623
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: hear it all right.

624
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: Well, if you're disappointed by any of these explanations, chalk

625
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 4: it up to the game, because it's a lot going

626
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 4: on in here. But first for me is actually the

627
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 4: lunar owls. I think they have got all the goods

628
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 4: on offense and on defense. I think you started off

629
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 4: strong with Fee who was easily the best two way

630
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 4: player in the WNBA this season. Skyler, who I've just mentioned.

631
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 4: I think she gets a lot of props for her

632
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: offensive you know, ability to distribute and run offense. I

633
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: think in three on three that's especially important. But I

634
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 4: also think her defense is very underrated. Ali Sha Gray,

635
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 4: we already know she can hit a three ball if

636
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 4: you leave her open. Also an excellent defender. Cam brink

637
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 4: led the league in blocks despite Yeah, but she doesn't

638
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 4: count because she's not playing this year. Well, she doesn't,

639
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 4: but I still want to give them the benefit of

640
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: the doubt for having her on the roster and then

641
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 4: having Shakira Austin there to learn from. Like Kira, I

642
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 4: think is the next iteration of where we want Cam

643
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 4: to go in terms of versatility, in terms of mindset

644
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 4: on the court. So I just think they've got a

645
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 4: great mix of stuff going on. And then second for

646
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 4: me was ROSEBC because any team with Chelsea Gray on.

647
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 5: It, yeah, any team.

648
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 1: Are Yes.

649
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 4: The fact that she is gonna be playing with Ka

650
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 4: who was as explosive as she is getting her open

651
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 4: in her spots. Britney Sykes, you want to talk about

652
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 4: two way players, she might have been the second best

653
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 4: in my opinion, even though again she didn't play a

654
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 4: full season.

655
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. My thought with that team though, and now, similar

656
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: to Alex Hadden, pretty low is I'm not huge on

657
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: the bigs as far as mobility, really, Azare as a right,

658
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: she's a little stiff. I love Azare, I love Azrae.

659
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: She's a little stiff for me for this kind of game.

660
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: She's not gonna be able to stay in the paint

661
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: the same way. She's gonna have to spread the court more,

662
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: get back and forth. And same with Angel. Angel, you

663
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: put her in the paint, she's gonna put in work

664
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: on the She's gonna get those inside buckets. She's not

665
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: a huge threat outside, even though she's been working on it,

666
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: and I don't think of her as like having that

667
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: quick reaction making a play on her own kind of

668
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: style of play. Yet maybe that's something she'll develop into.

669
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: And to me, the bigs on that team are what

670
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: took it out for me. Even though I love the

671
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: idea of Chelsea and k I respect that.

672
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 4: Angel is the one of those two that I think

673
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 4: I kind of agree with you, moron.

674
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: I think she might surprise us though.

675
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: Her rookie season yep.

676
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 4: And then as Aray Stevens, she's she's a sneaky good

677
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 4: three point shooter. She's a sneaky good, you know, stressed

678
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 4: to floor kind of player.

679
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: It's just more deliberate. It's a deliberate style of play

680
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: to me, and the kind of players I want in

681
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: this are moving before they're even having a second of think.

682
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 4: I hear you, I hear you, Yeah, and then I

683
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 4: won't give you my full because some of them I

684
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 4: just kind of woul like, we're gonna put you all

685
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 4: in here because we have to. But third, for me

686
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 4: are the laces I think you know in my top

687
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 4: three is so tight, y'all, it's so tight. It was

688
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 4: so hard to decide between these three teams. But I

689
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 4: think again, any team with at on it Alyssa Thomas

690
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 4: is going to be fantastic. Tip Hays, as I mentioned,

691
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 4: we already know she's great three on three. Wise, Jackie

692
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 4: Young is going to shine in this format and put

693
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,959
Speaker 4: her in Kaylea McBride together, please back back again, notre

694
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 4: dame back again.

695
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: And I'm interested to see Steph Dolson because obviously olympian

696
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: in three x three, but different style with a full court. Yeah,

697
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: all right, make your rankings, make sure you got your

698
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: teams one through six, all right. Finally, third box down

699
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: on the right side, duos slash combos. We didn't even

700
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: know we needed off the court. This is just for

701
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: social Who do you want to watch make behind the

702
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: scenes videos? Who do you think it'll be fun to watch?

703
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, dicking around on the bench, which we need

704
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: a new term for dicking around for ladies, booming around,

705
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: titting around, racking around.

706
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: You don't want to help me out here, you don't

707
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: want to hear my.

708
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: Sing around. You're going to have to put a warning

709
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: on this episode.

710
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 5: I was in One of the categories was rock paper scissors,

711
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 5: meaning the answer had to have the word rock paper

712
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 5: or scissors in it, and I was like, lesbian round,

713
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 5: lesbian round.

714
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 2: We got a couple in there. We did, we did.

715
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 5: Those were the only scissor related terms.

716
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: My best friend and I have a joke that will

717
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: get us every time we see scissors, because we were

718
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: playing whatever that game is, like heads up or whatever.

719
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: You have the phone on your forehead and you're trying

720
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: to guess what it says, and everybody's giving you clues,

721
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: and then if you get it right, you get to

722
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: like put your head down and it refreshes. So she

723
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: was the one holding the phone. She didn't know what

724
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: it says, and one of us said, women do this

725
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: and she goes scissoring and me immediately refreshed, like I

726
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: know that's right, and we're like, what not the answer?

727
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: And so now whenever we hear scissors or scissoring, that's

728
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: that's all right. We've really taken a detour here. Anyway,

729
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: this is a question about duos and commos. We didn't

730
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: know we needed off the court. So if you've been

731
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: following the social accounts, and if you haven't, get on

732
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: it me she's just doing those deep dives for us.

733
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: We got to catch up. But there's been a lot

734
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: of cool behind the scenes pictures and videos from the arrivals,

735
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: from the media day, photo shoots from practice. So what

736
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: vibes are you getting from the teams from the teammates.

737
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: Are you maybe hoping there might be some collusion with

738
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: your favorite w player recruiting a new teammate to your

739
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: city now that they've got to got them on their

740
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: same unrivaled team. Do you like watching folks with similar

741
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: fashion vibes or personality maybe some odd couples, mesh, I

742
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: know you've done a deep dive into this. We're gonna

743
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: take a second to do this and rank ours, So

744
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: hit pause, will rank these and then we're gonna hop

745
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: back in. All right, This was another tough one, especially

746
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: because you've only gotten a little taste of what these

747
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: players look like playing together, hanging out together. So this

748
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: is kind of a guest for some of these mish

749
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: what you got.

750
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 4: Well to start things off, it's got to be ROSEBC

751
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 4: because the Angel Times Ca Times Britney Sykes trio is

752
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 4: just bursting with personality. I don't know if folks have

753
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 4: seen yet the Angel and Cop tiktoks. Some of them

754
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 4: go on the actual team page and some of them

755
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 4: just go on their own personal pages. But calling Coy Grandma,

756
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: because believe it or not, she's getting up there.

757
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: I think that's hilarious.

758
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 4: Britney Sykes in anybody, frankly, in a pairing or a

759
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 4: trio is hilarious.

760
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 3: They posted a video the other day of her.

761
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 4: It's just a super cut of her dancing at media

762
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 4: day to there she go by Big Lotto and I've

763
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 4: never related to somebody more than when I saw that video,

764
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 4: because there's nothing wrong with breaking out in a little

765
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 4: random dance and making people around you feel a little

766
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 4: bit better.

767
00:39:58,880 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 1: After rope.

768
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 4: It's gotta be the Lunar owls because any team with

769
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 4: Ali Chagray, the content they post with her in it,

770
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 4: it's an immediate like she's one of the most lovable

771
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 4: players out here. And also we got to wish her

772
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 4: a happy belated birthday. Her birthday it was a couple

773
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 4: of days ago. So anything with her is gonna make

774
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 4: me extremely happy because she seems like the kind that's

775
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 4: camera shot. But once you get her out of her shell,

776
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 4: and hopefully they can over the course of the Unrivaled season,

777
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 4: we can get some cool behind the scenes stuff from

778
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 4: her and then the Vinyl. I think the practice content

779
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 4: from them has been fire. I love Jordan Canada as

780
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 4: a leader, her voice, the way that she kind of.

781
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: Brings energy to a practice.

782
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 4: We're gonna get a lot more of that, I'm assuming

783
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 4: as the season goes on, and I just I'm a

784
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 4: nerd about that kind of shit.

785
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 2: I kind of just love hearing people talk to her

786
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: in practice.

787
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 5: Yea.

788
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 4: The last place team for me in this category was

789
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 4: the Laces, not because I don't like the players on

790
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 4: the team, but those are just our mild mannered batties,

791
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 4: you know, like we're not gonna get I don't.

792
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 3: Know that we're gonna get a lot out of them,

793
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 3: which is fine.

794
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: Steph brings it like fashion and stuff, but she's not

795
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: like super over the top personality wise. Yeah, I had

796
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: some similar ones to you. I started off with Phantom.

797
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: I just Marina Maybury's terrible cooking that she thinks looks

798
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: decent has just got me already. I just want to

799
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: see where this goes. The fact that she needed to

800
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: be told to use spices, and then she made a

801
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: cooking video that she's like, Oh, this is gonna be busting,

802
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,439
Speaker 1: and then it was not. And then she gave her

803
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: homemade pasta to Dja Carrington, the one who had given

804
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: her all the spices, and Dja said she left it

805
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: in her locker by mistake and didn't get a chance

806
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: to try it. And then angel Re said about it,

807
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: which is exactly what I thought. Why I think that

808
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: was frosted flakes. And if you want to know why

809
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: this pasta looked bad, it's because it looked like frosted flakes.

810
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: I just need more cooking with Marina Maybury. That's just it.

811
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: And then I don't know, BG is sneaky funny at times,

812
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: and just the vibes from BG are just fun at

813
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: all times. They just did a social video about like

814
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: who's your lookalike? And PG was like, no, not playing

815
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: this game.

816
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 5: No.

817
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: My second place was Rose too. Like you said, there's

818
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: just a lot of personality there, and you know, Angel

819
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: Reese is always gonna bring a whole production to everything

820
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: good or bad, and it's gonna be a fashion show

821
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like, what's the next thing She's like,

822
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, she just did vogue for Pete's sake, Like

823
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: it's always something with Angel. And then I had the

824
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: lunar owls that they're just because I feel like there's

825
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: this like Skyler plus Cam, like just like fashion thing

826
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: that could be going on there, and same with like

827
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: Court is more mask presenting, but also it's like very

828
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: fashion forward. But I feel like Skyler and Cam are

829
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: full on like models, so to see what they bring

830
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: to the pregame fits and maybe you know, and then

831
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just find Fees so likable. She's

832
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: not super outgoing, but like her vibes are just chill,

833
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: So I'll leave it there. There's a bunch of good

834
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: ones that I'm sure are gonna come out after that

835
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: it'll be like Oh damn. I didn't even know that

836
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: person was so funny. But that's part of the fun here,

837
00:42:58,920 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: what about you, al.

838
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 5: I just want y'all to know that as part of

839
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 5: this exercise, I tried to calculate the gayest team important.

840
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

841
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 5: So I think as of right now it is missed

842
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 5: uh with at least four players who are publicly out,

843
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 5: and so that's great. I just want that to be

844
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 5: on the record of people knowing that. In terms of

845
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 5: the actual duos, though, I would love to have somebody

846
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 5: film a shopping trip with Court Williams and Cam Briank

847
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 5: throw Skyler, Digg and Smith in two Like would love

848
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 5: to just see them like trying on outfits for each

849
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 5: other in the dressing room, mayor ye see what comes out,

850
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 5: just because the sense of fashion style is so different.

851
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 5: But I think it could be really fun. Kate Martin

852
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 5: has such sidekick energy, and I would love to see

853
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 5: her as Alyssa Thomas's sidekick pump up woman. All of

854
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 5: that maybe help Alyssa come out of her shell a

855
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 5: little bit more, because I think she's been such an

856
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 5: underrated player for so long and often doesn't get the

857
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 5: shine that she needs and deserves. So I want to

858
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 5: see if we can have that happen on the laces.

859
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 5: Love it then, Phantom. Okay, this one's a little bit deeper.

860
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 5: But Natasha Cloud's always been somebody that has been so

861
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 5: good at using her platform speaking out about social justice,

862
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 5: racial justice, things that matter to her. Sabrina Unescu not

863
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 5: so much. And so I'm curious to see if maybe

864
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 5: there's something that develops there in terms of the two

865
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 5: of them have an interesting and important conversations off the court.

866
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: All right, get your chemistry, your duo's, combos, trios, the

867
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: people that you most want to see hang off the

868
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: court written down one through six and again. If you're

869
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: not super up to date on these players, you don't

870
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: know them well enough, you don't have strong opinions, you

871
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: could skip it and keep the integrity of your rankings. Okay,

872
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: we're going to give you a minute here. Double check,

873
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: make sure you've got each club ranked at least once

874
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: in each category. Enjoy this very brief musical interlude. Okay,

875
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: here it is the moment of truth. In the bottom

876
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: left box. For each club, you're going to write down

877
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: the name followed by the ranking that they earned in

878
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: each box. So For instance, the first spot in the

879
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: first box top left for me is Phantom, So I'm

880
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: writing down Phantom with a one. Then I'm going to

881
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 1: the second box and I'm seeing that I had Phantom

882
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: at three, I'm writing down a three. Then I've got

883
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: them at three again, and so on. Then you're going

884
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: to add up the points from each box for each club.

885
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: The team with the lowest total points is your unrivaled squad.

886
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: And then when you get to that, you'll jot down

887
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: the name in the bottom right box. Give it a

888
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: big old circle, and start telling the world who your

889
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: team is. Make it your whole personality. All right, hit pause,

890
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: do some math. Okay, I'm excited about what I got

891
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. One because I'm a basic

892
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: bitch who likes logos and colors, and it was one

893
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: of my favorite logos in colors. And also because ultimately

894
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: it was never my least favorite in anything. This team

895
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: got two ones and four threes, so it's kind of

896
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: middle of the road and a bunch, and then it

897
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 1: was my favorite in a couple and it never dropped,

898
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, into the fives and sixes. So y'all, but

899
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm Team Phantom, oh okay, okayissing. It was a two

900
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: team race and Phantom is my club, all right? Which

901
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: you got me?

902
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: Coming in first? For me is ROSEBC.

903
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 4: Whoa I had three ones for Rose, so three top choices,

904
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 4: two fours in one to three.

905
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

906
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 4: I was not expecting this. I had an idea in

907
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 4: the back of my head of what my team was

908
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 4: gonna be. But I'm not mad at it. I'm not

909
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 4: mad at it.

910
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: Okay, al who you got?

911
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 5: Okay? My number one team is the Laces Best, which

912
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 5: I think is so funny because I realized that I

913
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 5: ranked them last in terms of players, but then first

914
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 5: in terms of chemistry and duos, which gives you a

915
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 5: sense of how much they picture thought I put into that.

916
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: Not scientific, No.

917
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 5: No, I think maybe some of those quizzes that we

918
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 5: took in old magazines for a little bit more scientific,

919
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 5: at least the attentions to detail that I put into them.

920
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 5: But I'm Team Laces from here on out.

921
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm Jellyfish on that logo to be honest, because the

922
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: Lace's logo is fire. But I love that we all

923
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: ended up with different teams. Let the ship talk and

924
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,440

Speaker 1: account does not miss It is an instant follow for

969
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: a reason. The main premise, if you've never seen the

970
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: Art but Make It Sports account, is to take a

971
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: sports photo and put it side by side with the

972
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: piece of art that it resembles, and the stuff that

973
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: they pair together is wild uncanny. The account is run

974
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: by l J Raider, who sifts through thousands of pieces

975
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,120

977
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,640

978
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: him right away, some come after a quick spin through

979
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: folders of art on his phone. One of the folders

980
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: is labeled meme Fuel. It's really impressive and the post

981
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: with Naomi is just the latest in a long stretch

982
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: of brilliance. Fun fact, after I started reposting his stuff

983
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,919
