1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where Marina Maybrey

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: is playing a one person game of horse while watching

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: all of her teammates get traded away and don't ask

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: us how she already got home. It's Tuesday, March eighteenth,

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: and on today's show, Big Citrus will be jumping on

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: to discuss the biggest March Madness bracket storylines, the strangest

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: WNBA news timing we've seen in.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: A while, and our favorite new T shirts which could

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: also be your favorite new T shirts.

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Plus a rallying call becomes a burn potatoes and corn galore,

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: and did it just get a little cloudy in here?

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: It's all coming up right after this welcome back slices,

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Here's what you need to know today. Let's start with

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: the WNBA where midway through the NCAA Tourney bracket reveal

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: and the unrivaled semifinals. On Sunday, it was announced that

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: the Connecticut's Sun have traded Natasha Cloud to the New

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: York Liberty in exchange for the number seven pick in

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: this year's WNBA draft and a first round pick in

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Quick reminder, Cloud, who played for the

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Phoenix Mercury last season, was sent to Connecticut just a

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: few weeks ago as part of the four team deal

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: that sent Melissa Thomas to Phoenix and Satusabili to Dallas.

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: While Cloud is clearly psyched to be in New York,

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: tweeting New York as soon as the news broke, we're

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: guessing that Marina Maybrey is probably a little less thrilled.

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Maybury had requested a trade from the Sun earlier this

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: year after the team lost its entire starting lineup during

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: free agency, but that trade was denied and now she

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: lost Hash too. Thank god she learned how to cook

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: it Unrivaled. It's time to drown those sorrows and some pasta.

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: Speaking of Unrivaled. By the time U slices hear this Unrivaled,

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: we'll have its first champion. But we had to record

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: this ahead of Monday Night's final between roseby C and

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Vinyl BC due to my wild travel schedule, and while

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: we could pull out the crystal ball again, it was

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: dead wrong last week calling game for the Lunar Owls,

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Hoodie who shout out to Panda with Cookie and Blue

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Sky for that great a burn.

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: After the Owls went down on Sunday.

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: We will plan to do a full unrivaled debrief with

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: the winners and the final awards of the season later

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: this week to the PWHL, where the Minnesota Frost and

43
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: New York Sirens played in front of fourteen, two hundred

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: and eighty eight fans on Sunday night in Detroit, Michigan,

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: setting a new US Pro Women's Hockey attendance record. Detroit's

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Little Caesars Arena was the eighth of nine stops on

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: the PWHL's takeover tour, which could factor into which new

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: cities the upstart Women's Hockey League expands to in the future.

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: According to Zesti Lyme on Blue Sky, the whole arena

50
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: was chanting, we want a team, so Detroit definitely threw

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: their hat in the ring for expansion Sunday night. The

52
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: league also announced that more than one million fans have

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: attended a PWHL contest since the league played its inaugural

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: game on January first, twenty twenty four. Incredible New York

55
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: went on to win that game against Minnesota four to

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: one to keep the team's playoff hopes just barely afloat

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: heading into the final month and a half of the

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: regular season, Sirens are currently last in the sixteen standings.

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: The Frost, last year's tampions, are sitting and fourth. More

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: from the World of Snow and Ice, US cross country

61
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: skier and friend of the Show, Jesse Diggins clinched her

62
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: third overall World.

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: Cup title this weekend.

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: That's the award given to the skier with the most

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: points over the course of the grueling thirty one race

66
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: November to March international season. While there are technically still

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: three races left on the World Cup slate in the

68
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: next few days, diggins lead over the rest of the

69
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: field can't be beaten at this point. The three time

70
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Olympic medalist was already the only North American cross country

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: skier of any gender to own two World Cup overall

72
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: titles when she accomplished that feat last year, and now

73
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: she's even more in a league of her own. We

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: got to take a quick break. When we come back,

75
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: get out the juicers. It's time for Big Citrus to reconvene.

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: Welcome back Slices.

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: Let's have a little Big Citrus convo about some of

78
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: the biggest news of the.

79
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: Week, and I want to start with the bracket takeaways.

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: Late on Sunday night.

81
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: I gave you some of my biggest thoughts on it,

82
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: but I want to hear from Alex and Mesh as well.

83
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: And I get the feeling Mesh's gonna want to start with.

84
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't know William and Mary.

85
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: I don't give a piss about nothing but the tribe. Okay,

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: my William and Mary tribe. My alma mater won the

87
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: CAA Championship on Sunday. I was sick to my freaking

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: stomach that I couldn't be there. Had a good reason,

89
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: also had an annoying reason with travel and planes and

90
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff, but literally cried once that

91
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: buzzer sounded. Coach Aronderson Davis's team has restored my faith

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: in that program and the ability of folks who have

93
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: one goal, one accord to really come together. That team

94
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: was fifteen and eighteen on the season, folks, that is rough,

95
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: and I had a front row seat to it. There

96
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: were ups and downs, but anybody who was paying close

97
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: attention new there were flashes of brilliance. Whether it was

98
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: a five minute segment, in a quarter, a whole quarter,

99
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: a whole half, it was just a matter of them

100
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: putting it all together. The talent was there, you know,

101
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: the strategy was there, the defense especially was there.

102
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: In one player in.

103
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 3: Particular, Bela Nasimento, throughout this entire season was dealing with

104
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: the fact that she was now going to be the

105
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: team's returning leading scorer and you know, in her last

106
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: year in a college uniform, she's gonna be heading off

107
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: to the pros, gonna be at the Combine in the

108
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: final four. She set it off in the tournament and

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: so many other players also stepped up during that four

110
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: game stretch, y'all. They beat the reigning champs from last year, Drexel.

111
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: They beat the number one seed in this tournament, North

112
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: Carolina A and T, which by the way, had just

113
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: blown them out the week prior, you know, in.

114
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: The last game of the regular season.

115
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: Then beat number three Campbell, who had also beat them

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 3: the week prior in the last game of the regular season.

117
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: Like you want to talk about an amazing run, that's

118
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: an amazing run. And the thing that's most exciting to

119
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: me for coach Aaron Dixon Davis in that team is

120
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: they've got a very winnable first four game again is

121
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: high point coming up on Thursday night. So I'm just

122
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: over the moon. I've been crying on and off for

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: like the last you know, thirty six hours. Never been

124
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 3: happier to be in alone, Niche.

125
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 5: They were the ninth Yes, they were.

126
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: They were.

127
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 3: That's why the first time, it's ninety three that they

128
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: had made it to the championship, and if I'm not mistaken,

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: they were the lowest seed to make it to the

130
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: championship ever in the history of the CAA.

131
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: This is the first time they're going dancing, which is huge.

132
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: And also, Meche, you are the color commentator for their games,

133
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: and so not only did you play there, but now

134
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: you've been calling the games all season. And I have

135
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: to admit I haven't been watching super closely to the

136
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: team because I'm kind of thinking, oh, they're you know,

137
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: they're not going to be the kind of team I'm

138
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: watching come March. And so when they won and they

139
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: got the bid, I was like, I feel like Misha's

140
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: been burying the lead.

141
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm William and Mary being like a tournament team. But

142
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: the point is they.

143
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: Were swear to you.

144
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 3: It's not that they again, It's like you look at

145
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: the eye test, you look at the record, You're not

146
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: going to say a fifteen to eighteen team is going

147
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: to make it to the tournament. But that's the beauty

148
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: of it, right, It's all about in March and tournament time.

149
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: You gotta peak at the right moment.

150
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: And they have been learning, you know, So you have

151
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: to learn each lesson after every loss, and I think

152
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: they did that this season and that's why they were

153
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: able to perform that way.

154
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 1: I don't want to deprive the slices of the good

155
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: and bad reason that you missed the game, So can

156
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: you quickly tell them what you were up to and

157
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: why you didn't make it?

158
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta give a shout out to my girl,

159
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: one of my best friends, one of my favorite humans

160
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: on this planet, Chandler, my bestI.

161
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: Yea, I won't give you her full government because you know.

162
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: She does important things, but it was her bachelorette this weekend,

163
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: so I was going to try to make it back

164
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: in time for that.

165
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: Game, hopefully even to call it.

166
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: But Tampa, Florida, folks, we were down there with the

167
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: weather and the storms and the rain, and so my

168
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: flight got delayed, he got canceled, I got.

169
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: All that kind of stuff. But I was able to

170
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: watch and celebrate so hey.

171
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 5: And maybe William and Mary will be back in Tampa.

172
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, there you go.

173
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Hey, you never missed the dulcin tones of one Jones

174
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: on the air for that game on the radio call.

175
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: But she at least got to nurse a little hangover

176
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: and watched the game, maybe having some hair at the

177
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: dog to get you pickle. And you made it back

178
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: in time for the show. Too awesome. Super excited about

179
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: that and excited for you.

180
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: Let's talk a.

181
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: Couple other things. Does don Staley have a point? South

182
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: Carolina the overall number one seed? Every year since twenty

183
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: twenty one, it goes to UCLA.

184
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: This year.

185
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: Dawn was not super demonstrative and said it wasn't bulletin

186
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: board material, but made it clear that she thought that

187
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: they should have been the number one overall.

188
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: Again.

189
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I think she made a great point, right,

190
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: and she even said it in the post selection show

191
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: interview she did with Holly Rowe. This is a team

192
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 3: that played nineteen quad one opponents and for folks who

193
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: don't know what that means, basically, the cream of the crop,

194
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 3: the teams with the most value if you beat them.

195
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: Like those teams they went sixteen and three in nineteen

196
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: games against Quad one opponents.

197
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: And a lot of them early in the season when

198
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: we want to watch those games. We want to see

199
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: the big games. We don't want you to wait until

200
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: late season, so you're still figuring things out. Maybe folks

201
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: are hurt, maybe they're new, maybe they're fresh, and you're

202
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: willing to give up an l in order to learn

203
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: about your team and for the better of all of

204
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: college basketball, exactly.

205
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: For the entertainment value and also for your team to

206
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: get better. And so I agree with her that you

207
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: shouldn't penalize teams, you know what I mean, You want

208
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: to incentivize them to continue playing those games early on

209
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 3: in the season. So she's definitely got an argument there,

210
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: and then Lizzie.

211
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: Goppolie does as well.

212
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: For USC to me, I test wise, at this point

213
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: in the season, I worry about their consistency. I worry

214
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: about the fact that so much is on Juju's shoulders.

215
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 3: It's always a little scary when any team.

216
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: Puts a lot of eggs in one basket. But also

217
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: Juju shown she can do it. And let's be real.

218
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: They handed UCLA the only two losses they face this season,

219
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: and it's always hard to beat a team three times,

220
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: regardless of the situation.

221
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: So I do think she's got a point as well.

222
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, in my opinion,

223
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: you got a great point, that's fine, but you gotta

224
00:09:59,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: win the game.

225
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter period.

226
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 5: Okay, So here's a question. Do you think Lindsay is

227
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 5: most upset about being the fourth number one seed or

228
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 5: the fact that Yukon is eight, thus hutting them against

229
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 5: each other potentially in the Elite A.

230
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, well, I think it's about who's in her region.

231
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: As a result of being the fourth number one, you

232
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: get less respect as the fourth in terms of who

233
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: they're going to put as your twos and threes in

234
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: your region.

235
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean that's why she's pissed.

236
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think part of the reason down is

237
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: like I'm pissed, but it's cool, is because their paths

238
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: of the final.

239
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: Four is oh, yes, it is, yeah, whereas Lindsay's like,

240
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: come on.

241
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: Man, you gotta go through Oklahoma, which is the number three.

242
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: You gotta go through Kentucky, which is the number four.

243
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: Both teams that are not pushovers, right, and then yeah,

244
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: if Yukon ends up at the end of that at

245
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: the end in that region, that's tough. Right, You already

246
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 3: know that they've got your number. Being a team two

247
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: times is a little easier than being the team.

248
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Three times, so right, Yeah, I mean I think there's

249
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: that's why the committee's job is so tough, because you

250
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: can potentially argue that any of the number one seeds

251
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: could have been the overall number one, depending on which

252
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: kind of metric you want to look at, which makes

253
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: it so difficult.

254
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: I want to talk Notre Dame at number three a

255
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: couple weeks ago.

256
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: If you had said this, we would have been gobsmacked

257
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: based on Hannah Hidalgo and Olivia Miles and how that

258
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: team looked. But not only did they lose a handful

259
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: of games down the stretch, they lost two teams that

260
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: then picked up a lot of momentum as a result

261
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: of those wins, and that's how you end up being

262
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: a three. But man, does it suck for.

263
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: Anyone in a region where Notre Dame is the three.

264
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nuts, But it's exactly what you said. When

265
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: you're a top team, you have to take care of

266
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: business against team you're supposed to take care of business against,

267
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: and I also think though, it makes them that much

268
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: more dangerous because they had a taste of what it

269
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: was like to be at the top, to be a

270
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: potential number one, and had it ripped out from underneath them.

271
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 3: They're coming back with a vengeance.

272
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: If you've ever seen it before.

273
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to know your announcement reaction. Go to move?

274
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Are you dancing? Are you screaming? Are you I've been

275
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: here before? Playing it cool? Alex, The camera just switched

276
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: to you. You hear your name, and you see that

277
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: you are now live on ESPN.

278
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: Don't think what are you doing?

279
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 5: I'm digging back to when my field hockey team made

280
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 5: the NC DOUBLEA tournament, and I was the one who

281
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 5: We won our conference tournament both times, so we knew

282
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 5: we were in. But I was refreshing the NC DOUBLEA

283
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 5: site and doing like slash field Hockey D three and

284
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 5: like possible combos, like trying to hack the website to

285
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 5: see who we were seated against first, and so the

286
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 5: idea of having a camera in the room to capture

287
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 5: my reaction totally foreign and alien to me. I would

288
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 5: probably be smiling and not wanting the attention to be

289
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 5: on myself in my normal go to.

290
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: Way heard you love that mesh go to move oof.

291
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: My go to is immediately crying. As I just said,

292
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 3: I would probably be. I would probably be really excited

293
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 3: up until they actually said our names and then head

294
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: everything is just involved with the crying. But there's a

295
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 3: meme on Twitter. I think it's a video a gift.

296
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: What are we even calling things anyway? Yeah, and there's

297
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: a video of a girl on Twitter. She's like crying

298
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: over to the side and that she turns herund and smirks.

299
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, we did that. That would probably be me.

300
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 4: That would probably be you.

301
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: Would be crying and then you'd be like, oh damn,

302
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: I gotta make some sort of move on this.

303
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: So let me let me turn to camera.

304
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: There was a gal I can't remember which team now,

305
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: who was in front, like on her knees, and it

306
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: looked like there was a deep prayer happening.

307
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: Hey, I get it.

308
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: I can't remember which team it was.

309
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: I would like to be able to say that I

310
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: would have like one of those choreographed TikTok moves that

311
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: the people had out front looking all likes fly absolutely not.

312
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: I would just be like the weirdo that runs straight

313
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: up to the camera and puts my whole face into it,

314
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: like and then I just start picking up all my

315
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: smaller teammates. That feels the zone brand potentially chest bumps.

316
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: I used to do those a lot back in my

317
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: sporting days. It's always fun. Uh yeah, I think I

318
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: would just be Yeah, But I don't get the people

319
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: who are too cool for school.

320
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 4: I get it.

321
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: You knew you were going you're mad about Seed.

322
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: I just for me, it's like any chance in life

323
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: to celebrate, I'm taking it, even if i'm you know,

324
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: just every moment is an opportunity to be excited.

325
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: Okay, let's move on.

326
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: While we're watching the bracket selection show, m hm, we

327
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: just get a random announcement that Natasha Cloud is headed

328
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: from the Sun to the Liberty. I love the move

329
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: for all the reasons that are not you know, because

330
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm a Liberty or sunfan, just because Tasha is one

331
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: of my favorite players and in New York is a

332
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: fun place for her to be with a great team,

333
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: her style, her vibes everything.

334
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: What are the Sun doing?

335
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: And do we have even more sympathy for Marina Maybury,

336
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: whether or not we think she should be allowed to

337
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: get traded again after demanding out multiple times, but just

338
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: she's like all alone there, like the Fresh Prince meme.

339
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: Honestly, you just gotta talk this season up for Connecticut.

340
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: I you just got those one in the trash can.

341
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: It's it's straight rebuild mode. I don't know what to think.

342
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: If I'm Marina Maybury, I'm like, do I need to

343
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 4: just sit out?

344
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: Like?

345
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: What what's going on? Is this injury a little bit

346
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: more than I think it is?

347
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: Wink wink. No, I don't know what's going on over there.

348
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: I have no clue.

349
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: But as far as New York goes, you know, I'm

350
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: excited you buried the lead. I'm excited because they made

351
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: the gayest move possible.

352
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: They sent how to put it through my hoops engas

353
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: ship filter.

354
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: Because they said, Tash to New York where her girlfriend

355
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: Isabella Harrison just signed a trading camp contract on February

356
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: twenty first, I missed everything.

357
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: To me, I missed it. Yes, okay, I am behind that.

358
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: This is why we go to you. This is why

359
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: is your account.

360
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's good, okay, yeah, because we don't you know

361
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: what we saw some couples broken up in the name

362
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: of basketball this offseason, so we like a good love

363
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: story where we're getting reunited and it feels so good.

364
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: But it does It does make sense on the court

365
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: as well, though, right because what's been the criticism of Sabrinian.

366
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: School all the time.

367
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: It's the defense in Natasha Cloud brings all that in

368
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: a bag of chips on the defensive end, and then

369
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: you've got the possibility of her taking some of that

370
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: facilitation pressure off of Sabs so she can just hitk

371
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: some threes, throw some domes when she needs to please.

372
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: There. I mean, as far as Marina goes, I will say, like,

373
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: even if it's tempting to chalk this up to a loss,

374
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: with the way the CBA and contracts are going, like,

375
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: she has a reason to.

376
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: Ball out and do her best. She does so she

377
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: might have to all alone.

378
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 4: Playing horse in the gym.

379
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: I'll get yourself by yourself. Oh man.

380
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 5: Before we move on from Tosh, can we spend just

381
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 5: one moment talking about the timing, because it wasn't just

382
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 5: the bracket reveal show at the same time, it was

383
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 5: the unrivaled semi finals and I'm not sure why they

384
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 5: decided to announce then, And I think it's notable that

385
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: it was an announcement and not somebody leaking the news.

386
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 5: And I think the reason why it was nobody leaking

387
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 5: the news was because literally all of the women's basketball

388
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 5: reporters were busy. And I don't know what's to blame, ineptitude, stupidity,

389
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 5: or like the idea of like, oh, we can like

390
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 5: make news during a big women's basketball moment, but like

391
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 5: that's not how these things work, and uh yeah, just strange.

392
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: So true, Alex.

393
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't even know that we would know

394
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: if it got leaked because none of us were looking

395
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: for that. We were watching unrivaled playoffs and looking at

396
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: the bracket show. Whether it was leaked and then they

397
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: announced it or they announced it anyway, you would think

398
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: that they would want that official post to come at

399
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: a different time, and they didn't, And it's anyone's guess

400
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: as to why. I mean, I would think the Liberty

401
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: would want to soak up a little more attention.

402
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's the point I disagree on,

403
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: because the Liberty in terms of you remember the super

404
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: team narrative that started with Vegas that first year they

405
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: won the championship in the second one. New York was

406
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: so like, don't give that to us, please, we don't

407
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 3: want to keep us out of We just want to

408
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: have our book club and get on the court and play.

409
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 3: And then because they've got a lot of soft spoken

410
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: kind of people, and it also feels like that carries

411
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: over into the front office as well. So I think

412
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: maybe the Liberty are just like hustlers, move in silence, like.

413
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: We're the Sun. I can't speak for them, but New.

414
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: York, right, I think we all understand why the Sun

415
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: might not want it to be heavily publicized that they

416
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: have sent away yet to another player. But yeah, for

417
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: the Liberty, it's possible that they're just like, don't talk

418
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: about how much talent we're getting.

419
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: Just speak quiet, we don't We'll fly under the radar here,

420
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: look at Ellie.

421
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, y'all, we got to talk merch because

422
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: yesterday's show we made the big reveal that we finally

423
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: have the merch that fans have been clamoring for all.

424
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: The slices in our men cheese. When's the merch?

425
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: Shraps, It's here, and it's on Breakingtea dot Com. Slash

426
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: Spain is where you can go. I also posted it

427
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: on my social with links. We'll put it in the

428
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: show notes again. But yeah, I'm excited. I'm like Jenu,

429
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: I think I might scream when I'm walking down the

430
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: street if I see someone wearing one of our shirts.

431
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 5: Sure, I haven't even thought about that possibility.

432
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

433
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: So I went to one of the NWSL games I

434
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: went to, I want to say, it might have been

435
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: the championship game of the Red Stars and the Spirit

436
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: at the in Louisville in twenty twenty one. But there

437
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: was a girl wearing a shirt that said Mina and Sarah,

438
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: I want to say, and Katie and somebody else, and

439
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: it was all women from ESPN that she was a

440
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: fan of.

441
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: And I was like, that's me. She was like it

442
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: is you, Oh my god. And I was like, oh

443
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: my god, this is the coolest thing. Did you have that, Maide?

444
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: And she was like I did, And I'm like.

445
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

446
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 5: Wait it was a custom shirt, yes, Like it.

447
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: Was like those shirts that have like the name and

448
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: her sand and you know, and she had it custom made,

449
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: and like I was more excited to take a.

450
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: Picture with her that she was to take a picture with.

451
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: That's so funny it was Mina and Katie and Sarah

452
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: and Alison. This was Katie Nolan, Mina Chimes, and then

453
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: Allison was on The Levatar Show, and yeah, I was

454
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: like losing my mind. So I feel like it's gonna

455
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: be that feeling when we like are walking down the

456
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: street and we.

457
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: See a good game, good game for you, just strolling

458
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: towards us.

459
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gonna be crazy.

460
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: That's gonna be so wild because the one I've never

461
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: had anybody obviously wear my merch because I've never had

462
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 3: any merch. But I remember being at the end of

463
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: USLE Championship in Kansas City and running into certified sly

464
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: Stacy in her being like, oh my.

465
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: God, are you producer me? And I was like, girl, yes,

466
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 4: what it's going on? Is everything okay? So that's gonna

467
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 4: be wild.

468
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: That's yeah, I'm very excited.

469
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: Uh. And also I love that somebody already blue skied,

470
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,560

Speaker 5: kind of a snob about comfy t shirts, you know,

478
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 5: like when bars hand up free tea shirts, I'm like, okay,

491
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,000

492
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 5: So no, they don't ask any sports questions, which is

493
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 5: why I go to it because I do not want

494
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 5: them asking sports questions that I can't answer.

495
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,000

511
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: this bracket, so get your recipes in. It's like the

512
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: last day I would say to send us submissions for this.

513
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna make the bracket, and then I'm going to

514
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: cook the final four.

515
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: So far i've gotten some really to cook the final four. Yeah,

516
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: you know me cross them up.

517
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: Uh No. So one of them that we got was

518
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: funeral potatoes, which I've heard about a million times that

519
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: haven't eaten. So I'm very excited, very Midwestern dish. And

520
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: there's actually like a restaurant slash catering thing here in

521
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: Chicago that went kind of viral called funeral Potatoes. And

522
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: I've always been like I gotta I gotta.

523
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: Make that so that one's in there.

524
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: Obviously, potato corn chowder is going to be my jam

525
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: Greek potatoes, So send the recipes, even the quirky ones.

526
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: Because Panda with Cookie, who I mentioned earlier in the

527
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: show on Blue Guy, they sent me a mildly unhinged

528
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: recipe that involves a potato and a power drill. I'm sorry,

529
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: I need details, please, it, I believe originally as a

530
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: regular hot dog, but thankfully they amended that and made

531
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: it a veggie dog. But somehow you're supposed to get

532
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: a veggie dog into the core of a potato and

533
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: then put it over the campfire. But pandawith Cookie basically

534
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: explains that, like, even the power drill didn't really work

535
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and it's hard to do so, Connie, you have to

536
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: just make the potato separately and then add the dog

537
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: and the chili and the other stuff later.

538
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: But they closed with this.

539
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: After listening to Friday's episode of My Walk this morning,

540
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: I realized that this might be an underdog entry.

541
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: Is the potato the star in this dish? Perhaps not?

542
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 2: Is this even a recipe?

543
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: Not really, I didn't even tell you how to make

544
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: the chili because I was regularly on potato duty. But

545
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: does anyone remember that Kansas won the men's tournament in

546
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two?

547
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: No, and them, I bleed Carolina blue.

548
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: People remember Saint Peter's Cinderella run in twenty twenty three?

549
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: You know FD you believe it not Yukon.

550
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: This reference, by the way, to everyone is to men's

551
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: hoops sixteen seeds after you fairly Dickinson taking out number

552
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: one perdue will allow it. Anyway back to pandit with cookie.

553
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: Tater pigs are not the star. They are a fourteen

554
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: seed upset experience my drop. Okay, So honestly, we might

555
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: just allow the tater pigs into the bracket.

556
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna neat to find a drill.

557
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 4: The committee can take liberties.

558
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Honestly, as somebody that hates cooking but loves woodworking

559
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 5: and other types of DIY projects like this is my

560
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 5: kind of recipe.

561
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: Here you go. If tater pigs make it.

562
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: Potentially, I will read the rest of the email because

563
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: I was laughing throughout about the drill and being in

564
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: the middle of camping and attempting to cook everything like

565
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: it's good stuff. But send your recipes. Time is running out. Meiche, Alex.

566
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: If you have a tremendous darch based recipe you're hiding, Alex,

567
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: sounds more like you're hiding how to make a table.

568
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 5: I hide potatoes in my garden.

569
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet you do. Is that a euphemism? We

570
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: don't have to get into it, please, Okay, we gotta

571
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: take a break when we come back.

572
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: The Goat parade continues welcome backslices. Yesterday we revealed Slice

578
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: the individual for team's success, and then got cradle carried

579
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: off the mat, leading to important conversations about athletes advocating

580
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: for their own bodies and safety. Perhaps this set the

581
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: foundation for Simone Biles speaking up about the Twisties versus

582
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,800

584
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,639

Speaker 1: defeating Canada in a three to two shootout, sending their

592
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: fiercest rival home as first losers. That is one of

593
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: my all time favorite teams and games that I have

594
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,840

598
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: longer than most marriages. And the bottom right of the bracket.

599
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,320

00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: conversation was are they so good they're bad for competitive basketball?

609
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 1: Versus number three US women's wheelchair basketball team Rio twenty

610
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: sixteen gold medal winners, winning the final by seventeen points

00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,080
